Colonel Knox Buried At Arlington Today
Washington, (INS)—The body of Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox was buried this afternoon in Arlington cemetery.
Following the usual custom, a horse drawn hearse carried Colonel Knox to his final resting place. A service in the Mount Pleasant Congregational church bore the atmosphere of eulogy of a hero brought to his death by the burdens of war.

May Brings Sunny, Gay Weather
The old adage that "April showers bring May flowers" promises to hold true this year, if the bright sunshine with which May Day dawned this morning is any indication.
During the month of April, a total of 9.11 inches of rain fell, nearly three times as much as the average precipitation for the month, according to C.J.Posey, professor of geology.
Temperatures for the month ran slightly cooler than usual, also, with the average for the month about four degrees below the normal of 55.06 degrees.
Stage Stars to Give 'Uniform of the Day' In Fraser Sunday
"In fact, this was the wettest April since 1868." Mr. Posey declared. The average for the month is recorded as 3.14 in normal years.
Students and teacahers alike are hoping for continued clear weather which is necessary for their sports work-outs, picnics, and other spring activities.
The utilization of a college or university education to further personal advancement in the Women's Army Corps will be portrayed by a company of nationally known stage and screen stars when they present "Uniform of the Day" at Fraser theater at 8 p.m. Sunday through special arrangements with the Seventh Service Command headquarters at Omaha. Admission is free to all women on the campus.
Headlining the production will be Pvt. Lon McAllister, who rose to fame almost overnight by his portrayal of the wistful "California" in the movie version of "Stage Door

Lilac Lane' Blossoms Again In Traditional May Day Fashion
In a program speeded up by the war and with students busily engaged at their work, there is no room in a packed schedule for May Fetes and celebrations this year. Past years have seen students observe their May holiday with a class fight, later carnivals and merry-making holidays from the class rooms, but May Day of 1944 finds that students and military men are too busy.
Yet there can be one tie with May Fetes of former years, for with the coming of warmer weather the lilacs, though late, are beginning to blossom. May Fetes have never been held regularly through the years, but the lilac blossoms in Lilac Lane have characterized spring on the campus for almost 66 years.
The original lilac hedge was planted in 1878 after a suggestion that Chancellor James Marvin had made in chapel. The Douglas County Horticultural Society bought the bush hedge. Mr. Savage and his brother Forrest were farmer-botanists living near Lawrence and were interested in beautifying the University campus which was then bare. As the hedge flourished with other lilac bushes about the campus, the Hill became known as "The Lilac Campus."
The name "Lilac Lane" was given to the street running from Fourteenth street to the present home of the Chancellor by the Lawrence city council in 1935. At that time the home belonged to Mrs. J. B. Watkins, who gave it to the University upon her death.
Capt. Dusinberre to Inspect EM School and V-12 Unit
Today as its buds break open, Lilac Lane heralds May Day on the campus.
After the bushes, weakened by the drought, became infected by borers, the entire southern half of the hedge was uprooted in 1938 to prevent the spread of the borers to other trees and bushes on the campus. Sprouts cut from the lilacs in 1936 had been placed in the greenhouse. These 73 sprouts, grown into plants, were then planted where they once grew on the old bushes.
Capt. R. K. Y. Dusinberre of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Washington, D. C., is visiting the University Naval Training School today. He will make an inspection of the medical facilities of the electrician's mates school and of the V-12 unit. Captain Dusinberre will also confer with Lt. Comm. M. E. Gloss, medical officer of the training schools.
Class Schedule For Monday Set
Morning classes next Monday will run on a shortened schedule in order to provide an extra hour for the honors convocation at 9:45 a.m., announced Chancellor Deane W. Mallot today. The speaker, Chancellor Benjamin Cherrington of the University of Denver, has chosen for his topic, "Understanding Latin America."
The convocation will be held in Hoch auditorium with morning classes running on a 35-minute basis. Seven-thirty classes will start at the regular time; 8:30's will start at 8:15, and 9:30's at 9 a.m. Following the convocation, the 10:30 classes will be held at 11 a.m. and the 11:30's at 11:45.

American Ship Lost With 498 Aboard
(International News Service)
The aerial attack on German invasion defenses roared into the fifteenth consecutive day as American war planes-blasted the Pas de Calais area along the French coast, and railway centers and communications points in France and Belgium.
One objective of today's raid was a great German munitions dump southwest of Paris. Multiple explosions and fires caused conflagration visible for miles.
From the supreme headquarters of the Allied expeditionary force it was reported that Adolf Hitler has placed German held Europe upon an emergency footing in an effort to upset the Allied invasion time-table.
The war department in Washington announced destruction of an American ship by enemy action in the Mediterranean waters, with a loss of 498 military personnel. The announcement said the ship was sunk recently and that it went down whistling. Next of kin of the personnel have been notified, but no details were given out.
Kuitert Promoted to Captain
Captain Kuiert, who has been awarded the Bronze Star and the Asiatic Pacific ribbon, was graduated from Kalamazoo College in 1939 and was attached to a sanitary corps for a short time.
Louis C. Kuitert, who received his masters degree at the University in 1940, has recently been promoted to the rank of captain. He has been serving in the China-Burma-India war theater for the past five months.
'Nine Girls Opens Tonight At 8:15 in Fraser
"Nine Girls," a murder melodrama with an all-girl cast will open at 8:15 tonight in Fraser theater for a two-night performance after a weekend of dress rehearsals.
The play has proved one of the most popular college plays of the present season, and will probably be given in more college productions than any other play in 1943-44, according to Prof. Crafton. The setting is laid in the living room of a senior club house in the California Sierra Nevada mountains, where one of the girls is murdered just before the action of the play begins.
The whole play centers around the attempt of the murderess, Roberta Sue McCluggage, who is revealed to the audience soon after the play starts, to prevent the others from discovering that she is the guilty one, endangering the lives of several of the girls.
Members of the cast and their parts are:
Holders of activity tickets may exchange stubs for tickets to the play today and tomorrow at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. The office will be open from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. The ticket office of Fraser will be open at 7:30 both nights for those who have not exchanged their tickets for the play.
"Nine Girls" being presented by the class in directing is the same class which gave "The Women" in 1942 and "Distinguished Service" last year.
Eighty-four University students will take part in the annual spring concert to be presented by the Women's Glee Club at 8 p.m. next Monday in Hoch auditorium, Miss Irene Peabody, director of the organization and instructor in the School of Fine Arts, has announced.
84 Women Will Be In Glee Club Concert

TODAY'S EDITORIAL
Severe Loss in Death of Knox
The United States at war lost one of its ablest and most far-sighted military leaders Friday when Col. Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, died. Knox will be remembered by Kansans as the running mate of Republican Alf Landon, former governor of Kansas, in the presidential election of 1936; Landon-Knox became a by-word of the Republican party during the months immediately preceding the election.
Knox threw off his political ties in 1940 when President Roosevelt asked him to become Secretary of the Navy. This was in July, immediately following the capitulation of France when it became even more obvious that our country was only temporarily at peace. The job of Secretary of the Navy called for the most able man ever to hold that position in the history of our country because we were on the brink of the greatest conflict.
Knox was not a bureaucrat in any sense of the word. He learned about war the hard way, having ridden with Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders in Cuba in the Spanish-American war and having served in World War I as an artillery officer. He went to see first-hand exactly what problems his navy had to face, speeding to Pearl Harbor the day following the Japanese attack and traveling the various theaters of war, Guadalcanal, the New Hebrides, England, Africa and the Mediterranean.
Possibly because of his experience as a newspaper man, as publisher of the Chicago Daily News, Knox had the ability to see into the future. He preached preparedness for years, noted the approach of the global conflict. As soon as he became chief of the naval forces, he began the job of expanding our inefficient one-ocean fleet to form the greatest armada of the world.
Congress has under discussion the last official suggestion made by Knox before his death. His belief was that the army and navy should be combined and placed under one head to bring about a closer cooperation of the land and sea forces

Where There's a Will, There's a Wave has a new wrinkle for Pahra Rathbun, Foster hall freshman, who believes in greeting people wholeheartedly. Rushing to the window to wave to a friend in the Navy, Phara's hand rushed right on through the glass. Nine sitches closed the resulting gush successfully, but whether the Little Boys Blue are worth the effort is a controversial issue.

Want a Smudge, Pot? The Alpha Delt's slumbered through the night; one or two heard some noises, but nothing irregular. What was a little unusual came when they trooped down to breakfast the next morning, ran out to get the paper, and discovered a smudge pot smouldering smack in the middle of the front porch after burning through the early hours. Who, how, when, and why remain unanswered, but, as Jean Kaufman remarked, "It did keep the mosquitos away."

Fine Arts Teachers Will Tour Six Towns
Four members of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts will leave today for a four-day concert tour of six towns in Kansas and Missouri, Dean D. M. Swarthout, announced today.
The group will include Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice; Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin; Jan Chiapuso, professor of piano; and Allie M. Conger, associate professor of piano, who will be the accompanist. The towns to be visited on the tour are: Leavenworth; Warrenburg, Mo.; Nevada, Mo.; Springfield, Mo.; Fredonia; and Hillsboro.
The same group presented a concert yesterday at the high school at St. Joseph, Mo.
Meanwhile Krehb, quick like Superman, replaced the billfold back in M. L. D.'s coatpocket. Dillenbach moped, while villains Davis and Krehbiel smypathized as best they could. At last she decided to search once more, and sheepish pulled out the missing article. Current Corbin question centers around the reception Krehb will get when she returns from New Jersey, for which destination she left for a visit, oddly enough, immediately following the escape.
College junior Harriet Davis and ASC member Ruth Krehbrain may now grin contentedly, and Mary Lou Dillenbach will have to bear it. The three got up to leave the Cottage an evening or so ago, with Mary Louise forgetting her billfold, which the other two secretly pocketed. Back at Corbin, owner Dillenbach frantically called the Cottage's Missing Billfold Bureau to report her loss.

But "Lemon Ziranda," Claire Arnold, was the all-time hit. She wore a royal blue "Red Hot Mama" formal, widened her lips a musious red inch on both sides, threw a bath towel over her hair on top of which nested a gourd chain string, and wowed 'em with her ultra-sultra handling of "How You Konna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm".

Canteen." The production which is to appear here was written by Pvt. Ted Kay, former radio script writer, and is directed by Pvt. William Johnstone, who was familiar to millions of radio listeners as "The Shadow" before his induction into the army. Other Army personnel appearing in the production includes Pfc. Carolyn Blake and Cpl. Helen Famalette, both formerly of the New York stage. Pvt. Russell Gleason, actor son of James and Lucille Gleason, is also a participant.
Women of the University also will be given an opportunity to learn first-hand of the opportunities for further education, experience and world-wide travel to those women who qualify for enlistment in the Women's Army Corps under the new specialist program. Two members of the Kansas Recruiting District staff arrived on the campus on April 29. They are living in one of the University dormitories, and will be available to all interested women through May 13.
Atkinson-Geisch Pinning Announced
Chi Omega has announced the pinning of Jeanne Louise Atkinson and Jack Geisch, Phi Delta Theta, both of Kansas City. Alice Rose Shankland and Anna Jannette Young assisted at the ceremony which took place at the Chi Omega house Saturday night.
Miss Atkinson is a sophomore in the College. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Atkinson.

KU Men Place In Drake Relays
Robert Lillibridge led the K.U. group to place second in the broad jump. Frank Stannard was third in the high hurdles and Jim Richey was third in the 440-yard dash. Leroy Robison also placed third in javelin throwing as did Tom Scofield in the high jump. Taking fifth place in the mile relay were Lynn Leight, Frank Stannard, Bob Lillibridge, and Jim Richey.
Placing second in one event, third in four, and fifth in one was K.U.'s record at the Drake relays won by Illinois Saturday. Six men made the trip with Coach Ray Kanehl. On the whole the meet was rather unstartling with no records being broken. Although it was a fair day, the track was in bad condition from recent rain, and the men had a heavy wind against them, said Coach Kanehl.
Iowa State did well in distance relays. It placed fourth in the high hurdle. Missouri's Bangert took first with the shot. Kratz, of Nebraska, placed in the quarter mile run.
DOOR MAN
Illinois' Clarke (Buddy) Young, a 17-year-old freshman, was the sensation of the meet. He won the broad jump, defeated seven rivals in the 100-yard dash, and was anchor man in two of the four relays Illinois won. "Life" magazine feature the Young family in an article a short time ago. Mrs. Young, a Negress, and former track star, has coached all of her children. The Drake reails was Young's first major outdoor competition.
This Saturday a tri-meet will be held here with Nebraska, K-State, and K.U. competing. Since Pittsburg Teachers has called off all meets, the one Saturday will be our last home meet.

Jayhawkers Defeat 'All-Stars' 7 to 0 In Exhibition Game
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers defeated the "All-Stars" Saturday night by the score of 7 to 0.
The game ended the irregular spring practices for the Varsity. The "All-Stars" were made up of former squadmen at the University, several of whom were lettermen last year, and others who starred here in years past. The game was played under the lights at Haskell Stadium, sponsored by the KU Relays Club and promoted by the K Club.
The entire game was mostly a defensive struggle, the varsity never making a first down and the "All-Stars" losing almost as much as they made. The losers, although they had no great offense still knew how to play the game on defense as their line was almost impregnable. The Varsity was always able to stop their opponents when it became necessary and often tossed them for huge losses, doing so several times after a missed signal had sent the ball scooting back from center with no one catching it.
The only score of the game came in the second quarter when Williams of the Varsity sent a high punt into the wind. The ball was fumbled by an "All-Star" player and Don Stockdale, guard, fell on the ball across the goal line. Then Coach Shenk sent in his trust drop-kicker, Bill Chestnut, who calmly booted the ball straight between the goal posts, as he did last fall against Missouri to win that memorable game. That was the ball game, although no one knew it at the time.
Several times in the second half the "All-Stars" started to go but were always halted by an alert defense. The last quarter saw the ball from one end of the field to the other on kicks and the Varsity penetrated deep into their losers' territory once after recovering a fumbled punt, but were unable to go any further.

French Club to Hear Reports on Colonies
The present condition of the French colonies and the way in which they are now concerned with the war will be brought out by student reports at the next meeting of the French club, Miss Mattie Crumrine, sponsor, announced. La Carte Français will meet Thursday afternoon. May 4.
The talks will be illustrated by stamps from the various French colonies, taken from a collection of 200 stamped owners by Miss Crumrine.
Frances Morrill, vice-president of the club, will be in charge of the program.
All in all, the game was entertaining and gave the fans an idea of what the Jayhawkers will put on the gridiron next fall. The contest showed the Varsity's lack of practice due to the bad weather that has plagued them all spring. The blocking wasn't too good, but the tackling was hard and showed the line rushing fast.
The football schedule for next season will be another tough 10-game one with several new teams such as Texas Christian and Tulsa University being added; and the usual Big Six games, which should provide a good chance for the Jayhawkers to begin the climb back to football fame.

US Subs Sink 12 Jap Vessels; Total Now 695
(International News Service)
American long range submarines were accredited officially today with sinking 12 more Japanese vessels including three warships during attacks deep within enemy waters in the Pacific.
A navy department communique announced that the underwater raiders sent to the bottom one large cruiser, two destroyers, a large tanker, and naval auxiliary, two medium transports, and five medium merchantmen. The sinking brought to 695 the total number of Nipponese ships destroyed or damaged by US subs since the day of infamy at Pearl Harbor.
Truk Struck on Weekend
The Tokyo radio asserted also that carrier-based American planes struck once more at the big naval base Truk in a 48-hour attack over the weekend. Damage to ground installations was acknowledged, but Tokyo claims one carrier was damaged and 30 planes shot down. There was no official confirmation of the reported attack from an allied source.
In the southwest Pacific, small bands of Nipponese faced annihilation at the hands of American forces (continued on page three)

Melodrama Ends Tonight in Fraser
Centering around the murder of a sorority girl, "Nine Girls" was presented by the class in directing last night in Fraser theater. The last performance of this murder melodrama will be at 8:15 tonight.
The living room of a sorority club house is the center of the suspense which follows the news that one of the members has been murdered. Before the play is over it is also the scene of another murder, and a third attempt on the part of Mary (Roberta Sue McCluggage) who reveals herself as the murderess shortly after the play opens.
The play is not altogether serious with Glamorpuss (Maxine Kelley), a theater struck girl reciting MacBeth as the suspense mounts and also finding time to bicker with Freida (Carolyn Southall) who gives several short discourses on "Capitalistic hirelings."
The play continues with Shot Put (Shirley Wagner) throwing javelins at automobile tires, and with Shirley (Kathryn Bonewits) and Tennessee (Patsy Creel) who carries on in a southern accent, playing the two new pledges who don't seem to grasp the situation, but believe it is some sort of an initiation ceremony.
Senior proofs must be returned to the Jayhawker office by 5 p.m. Thursday afternoon, Mary Morrill, editor of the Jayhawker has announced.

Latest figures on casualties of American armed forces reveal that 33,223 of the country's fighting men are held by the enemy as prisoners of war, and are potential recipients of aid and comfort provided by War Prisoners Aid, a member agency of the National War Fund, according to advice today to Judge W. D. Jochems, new president of the Kansas United War Fund.

Every Week Dedicated; Some Twice
Rapidly overtaking the "Vitamin complex" is a new, and even more confusing phobia known as "week fever." The period between April and November is completely blocked out already—into everything from Raisin week to Better Parenthood week.
Evidently the movement started with the success of such well-known observances as Fire Prevention week, Religious Emphasis week, Buddy Poppy week and Girl Scout week. Seeing what a good thing it was, others have capitalized on the idea too.
Honey for Breakfast Week
Honey for Breakfast week was originated by the American Honey Institute. Between April 9 and 15 of this year honey manufacturers proposed to make the public feel it was their duty to eat lots of honey. Supposedly the honey will be habit forming.
Be Kind to Animals week is less mercenary in nature, as are Noise Abatement week, and Outdoor Cleanliness week.
Some Weeks Are Traps
But some weeks with these harmless names are traps of the most treacherous nature. First Aid week is sponsored by the National Association of Retail Druggists who will sell supplies to a populace sweating over first aid methods. Letter Writing week is sponsored by a stationery company; Bible week by a layman's committee—of publishers, probably; Friendship week by a greeting card company. Tough Schedule
Tough Schedule
All in all, 37 special weeks have been outlined between now and November—a tough schedule if a person takes it seriously and tries to cooperate. If he does, his life will go something like this: April 9, set in a supply of honey for breakfast; April 17, buy lots of want ads (Want ad week); April 23, feed poor dogs and birds; April 29, feed poor children; May 5, go fishing all week; May 20, have several babies (Baby week). All of which would get ever the best man down.
Kansas Ranks High In WAC Enlistment
Women's army corps recruiting figures for the first half of April, which were released today, show Kansas leading the nine states in the seventh service command in Air WAC enrollments, according to word received by Sgt. William Adair in charge of the WAC recruiting office for this region.
Wagner Is Soloist At KC Music Club
The number of Kansas recruits increased 59 per cent over the same period in March. With the command generally successful in meeting its March WAC quota, Kansas set the outstanding record by topping its goal 49 per cent. These figures were disclosed by Major Robert H. Fleming, who is in charge of Air WAC recruiting in the seventh service command.
"The response to the Air WAC procurement program in Kansas is particularly gratifying," said Major Fleming, "when we consider that Kansas has a population of less than two million."
Lucille Wagner, master of music in 1942, was presented as one of the soloists Monday at the annual breakfast of the Kansas City Music Club held at the Kansas City Country Club.
Miss Wagner played "Sonata in E Flat" by Professor Carl A. Preyer of the School of Fine Arts. Professor Preyer, an honorary member of the Music Club, was also present and shared honors with Miss Wagner.
Others attending from Lawrence were Mrs. Preyer and Dean D. M. Swarthout, also an honorary member of the Club.
Scholarship Voted By Rotary
By a motion passed yesterday by members of the Rotary clubs of district 123, a $200 scholarship from a fund now permanently established will be given each year to a Latin American student. The scholarship will be rotated among three colleges, the University of Kansas, Kansas State College at Manhattan, and Emporia State Teachers College.
This permanent scholarship plan was accepted by members of the Rotary clubs who attended the two-day convention of district 123 at Topeka.
The convention ended yesterday with "Lawrence Night" banquet at the Hotel Jayhawker. More than thirty members of the Lawrence Rotary club attended the convention, including Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ellsworth, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Klooz, and F. C. Allen, president of the local organization. These members also had charge of the banquet program, at which Mr. Allen presided. Corlett Cotton of Lawrence, graduate of the School of Business in 1928, was song leader. Tom Collins of Kansas City, Mo., a student with the class of 1920, spoke at the banquet.
Women's Glee Club Sings Over KFKU
The University Women's Glee Club presented five selections on KFKU's program, "Exploring Your University," last night. The numbers included "The Lord is My Shepherd," (Schubert); "Ghosts of White Birches," (Travis); "Springtime's Reawakening." (Levenson); "What is More Gentile than a Wind in Summer," (Pepper); and "Country Garden," (Old English).
The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Irene Peabody, instructor in the School of Fine Arts, will present its annual spring concert at 8 p.m., May 8, in Hoch auditorium.
Ellsworth Attends Meeting Of Art Group in Detroit
Miss Maud Ellsworth, assistant professor in the School of Education, left Sunday to attend the convention of the Western Art Association in Detroit, Mich., which will officially begin Wednesday, May 3, and continue until Saturday, May 6.
Miss Ellsworth left early to attend the board of directors meeting today.
Big Six Teams Will Compete In Track Here
The Jayhawk track team will play host to a triangular meet this Saturday at Memorial stadium. The Kansas State Aggies and the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be the guests. Coach Kanehl's men performed exceedingly well at Drake Relays held at Des Moines last Saturday, and are still improving in all-round strength. There is still a shortage of middle-distance men but the ones available are rounding into shape and may spring a surprise in some meet.
Kansas is experiencing one of its best track seasons in years right now and if the team does well in the Big Six meet May 20 the season will have ben a decided success. There is every indication that the wearers of the Crimson and Blue will be a strong contender for the conference crown, at least capable of pushing the favorites hard before losing out.
With more favorable weather and a chance to practice some of the Jayhawk team will be making better showing as the season progresses and the fans may not be surprised to see some Big Six records falling.
For instance, Leroy Robison has not yet hit peak in his javelin throwing, and with a better place to jump than he had at Drake last week. Tom Schofield may break the high jump record at any time. Some of the men who didn't go to the Drake relays may show up well. Harvey Morrow doesn't go above 12 feet in the pole vault, but he hasn't been beaten this season.
Contrary to earlier reports that only ISA men would vote for the ISA Queen at the Jay Hop Saturday night, Don Alderson, ISA president, announced today that everyone attending the formal dance would be entitled to vote for one of the eight independent women on the ballot.
The candidates for queen, nominated in the past two weeks by an anonymous committee of campus men, will be presented to the audience by Harlan McDowell, ISA secretary and master of ceremonies for the evening, near the beginning of the dance. Votes will then be cast and tabulated, and the Queen and her attendants will be named at intermission.
All Men at Jay Hop Can Vote for Queen
The eight women nominated for the annual ISA Queen are: Jean Atherton, sophomore, Corbin Hall; Jeanice Allen, freshman, Watkins Hall; Emily Ann Hollis, sophomore, Corbin hall; Elizabeth Niven, freshman, Corbin hall; Ellen Wagenfield, junior, 1216 Louisiana; Francis McNish, freshman, 1221 Oread; Josephine Moore, sophomore, 1300 Tennessee; and Margaret Ward; sophomore, Jolliffe hall.
The formal, to be held in the Union lounge, has become a tradition among the independent students of the University in the past few years, but it is to be an all-University function this spring, the ISA council decided last night in putting the finishing touches to the plans for the evening.

November Graduates Not to Be Pictured
First semester seniors who will be graduated in November will not be included in the senior section of the 1944 Jayhawker as previously announced, according to Mary Morrill, editor of the Jayhawker magazine.
The change has been made, Miss Morrill said, because it is impossible to tabulate an accurate list of prospective November graduates. The greatest difficulty, she said, lies in the indefiniteness of the seniors themselves as to whether they will attend the summer session.
November graduates who have already been photographed should return their proofs as soon as possible," she said. Their pictures will be saved at the Jayhawker office and used next year in the senior section.
Letter to the Editor
Editor,
University Daily Kansan. Dear Editor
The number of automobiles in the vicinity owned by local laborers, particularly the Sunflower Ordnance workers, that bear University of Kansas windshield stickers is almost appalling.
Obviously, these persons who have nearest come to attending the University only by making their residence in Lawrence have no right whatsoever to advertise that they are or were students. Judging from some of the personalities behind the steering wheels of the sticker-bearing autos, foreign observers are apt to receive the impression that the University of Kansas is no longer an institution of higher learning but is a penal colony or beer hall.
For two years K. U. students have ungrudgingly given up a good portion of the space in the few places of recreation in the city of Lawrence to the high wage earning group, mostly because of the patriotism attached the fact that the ordinance workers are supposed to be—and probably are—pushing the war effort.
But the matter concerning the unwarranted gluing of K. U. stickers to their automobiles is definitely uncalled for. Although the fault lies directly with the parading workers themselves, the local vendors of the emblems should request the purchaser's activity book as proof that he is a student before handing them over the counter.
Outrageously yours, Jack G.
Tau Sigma Tryouts To Be Held Tonight

Richard Cuellar Nears End Of Army Air Pilot Training
Richard H. Cuellar, 21, a student in the University in 1942-43, is taking training to become an army air pilot in a class of aviation cadets nearing their silver pilot's wings and officer's bars at the Pampa twinengine advanced flying school at Pampa, Texas. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Cuellar, Kansas City, Kan. He and John T. Troupe, also of Kansas City, Kan., both in the same class, are graduates of Wyandotte High School.

"A Young Man's Fancy . . ." Some explanation is in order as to the motive behind the unusual repose of a number of Phi Bete medics who spent Sunday afternoon inclined at odd angles in (and out) of second story windows. Authoritative sources tell us it was all in the line of duty — experimentation, you know.
The facts, in order of importance:
(1) It is Spring. (2) The sun is warm. (3) The Alpha O's find conditions suitable for sun bathing.
Conclusion: (from one who knows—he tried it) A microscope is no good at long range.

Capital Punishment — The sun (when it shines) is just as warm these days in West Hills, the DG's report, but, at least in the estimation of two of the Sisters, certain precautionary measures will have to be taken before they can enjoy the solar joy in complete peace of mind.
Carol Stuart and Elizabeth Ann Beach took, quite in stride, their discovery by Jack Burgen and Bob Miller, residents of PT 2, as they basked on the DG terrace. The incident came to a climax when the boys decided their friends could do with a little of the good old fashioned check red apron routine, and proceeded to administer same. It was a blow to the girls all right, but they have decided that this is, after all, one way to get a sunburn.

'Jayhawk,' a Bomber, In Forced Landing At Sweden Airfield
A four-motored bomber named "Jayhawk," is one of a number that made forced landings at Rinkaby airfield near Kristianstad on April 9; and it may be presumed that there were a few "Jayhawkers" in the plane who are now interned. With the Jayhawk were "Pistol Packin' Mama," and "Picadilly Pete." One American plane crashed in the Baltic just outside the city of Ystad, but no trace has been found of it yet.

campaign. One contingent of sorority house-to-house campaigners, led by Dan Chase, reached the Chi Omega house just between courses at dinner. The girls, duly surprised by the unexpected visitors, had just become an attentive audience, and Chase was all set to begin the sales talk, when the traditional, and completely unexpected, chocolates were brought in. Jeanne Louise Atkinson and Jack Geisch, Phi Delt, were announcing their pinning. Chase, stunned, mumbled something about being unable to compete with this sort of thing and made a quick exit to join the other "K's."
The excitement had hardly reached the refined stage when another group of the Business Men, informed of the proceedings by Chase, arrived to pay their respects. Wayne Hird, "K" Club president, had come to congratulate the sister of his fraternity brother, R. J. Atkinson, Phi Psi. A gracious sentiment, and the fact that a number of tickets were sold to the club-sponsored football game is, of course, purely coincidental.

A Strange Case — Two weeks age Jac Nodler's ankle was all right. Then, one night last week, after attending a concert with Miller Hall roommate, Joy Miller, it began to swell—from causes unknown. By Thursday Jac had made arrangements to sojourn in the hospital over the weekend. And, strangely enough, by Saturation morning, everything was normal again. It was not until yesterday that the mysterious swelling began to reappear, and today Jac entered the hospital. Ummm!

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
The members of the coaching staff of the University of Kansas are all former highly successful high school coaches. Henry Shenk was formerly at Junction City and had many teams while there. Elmer Schaake, assistant football coach, ex-Lawrence high mentor produced several fine teams while at the local school. Track coach Ray Kanehl spent last year at Wichita East and his teams were always strong. Kanehil was also athletic director at East before coming to the University. Coaching the baseball team is Jack Austin of Emporia.

Because of the wartime schedule of classes extending on through the summer, baseball and track will also continue on through the summer months. A track schedule has already been plankd to last into late summer and baseball games will be played too, mostly against service teams. Both of these teams are made up mostly of Navy trainees with several civilians included in the rosters.
** **
Coach Jack Austin continues to put his baseball men through long workouts in preparation for games, soon to be played. Austin has had the team practicing whenever the weather at all permitted. Intra-squad games are being played nightly, with the pitchers finally opening up and letting loose with all their assortment of pitches. All this work is bringing results too, because the team is gradually rounding into a unit, although the team, for the most part, is inexperienced but has plenty of enthusiasm and spirit.

Let's Keep Faith with the Fighting Forces!
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a significant event in World War II. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese naval forces, under the command of Admiral Ishihara, launched a surprise attack on the American carrier USS Washington. The attack resulted in the sinking of the ship and the loss of five American sailors. The attack was one of the largest and most successful naval attacks ever conducted during World War II. It was also one of the few instances where a major warfare event occurred on the western coast of the United States.
Everyone of us can help to back the victory that is soon to come by joining in the Tin Can Drive. Save that tin, it might save a life. The following Lawrence Merchants are behind this drive and every other drive toward Peace!

Recreational Directors to Meet At Training Institute Here; 4-Day Conference to Begin May 6
More than 80 persons have sent registrations for the four-day Recreation Training Institute beginning May 6, at the University, and many others within a radius of 150 miles have indicated interest in this course which will be the only one of its kind conducted in eastern Kansas.
"So many regular recreational directors have been taken by the war and the need for development of such activities is so
great, that we hope to have a large crowd to take the training that will be available," said Dr. F.C.Allen, head of the physical education department which sponsors the Institute.
Anne Livingston, recreation training specialist from the National Recreation Association in New York City, will be chief leader in the institute. Mrs. Livingston during the past seven years has trained hundreds of professional and volunteer leaders in institute courses, most recently in connection with the Servicemen's Center at Miami Beach, Fla., third largest in the country. Pat Rooney, secretary of the National Recreation Association, also plans to attend.
Many Plan to Attend
"One of the functions of the volunteer recreation leader is to help young people turn their energies into the right channels, and adults as well as children need play," Mrs. Livingston said.
Among those who have written to Dr. Allen and who plan to attend the institute are city, county, and state 4-H officials, home demonstration agents, a Sunflower Ordnance Works war plant recreation director and ten of her staff, several leaders in the Lawrence summer recreation program, many college physical education majors, and others in-

Washington—OPA chief Chester Bowles gave American civilians their greatest surcase from wartime ratiolation today when he removed all meat except beefsteak and roast from midnight restriction effective at midnight tonight. This means that 85 per cent of the meat consumed may be purchased without ration points.
"These are all proven performances, for each one has starred in shows both on and off the campus," said Miss Peabody.

Those with special numbers are Ted Lehmann, who has written a humorous monologue especially for the performance; Doris Sheppard, violinist; Frances Sartori, and Judy Van Deventer, flutists; Shirley Jac Wagner, annotator; Merton Anderson, tenor; and Allen Rogers, pianist.

"Above the average," was the comment made this morning by Prof. Allen Crafton, play director, as he evaluated this year's talent at the conclusion of "Nine Girls." last of three melodramas, staged by the speech department.
"The play itself was rotten from the standpoint of writing, but the students did a good job of it under the circumstances," Crafton said. "Outstanding in this year's group of performers were Roberta Sue McCluggage and Shirley Wagner."
A full house saw "Nine Girls" last night in comparison to the half-house the night before. The all-girl cast hampered by the difficulty of stage effects for which the play called, was able to put across much of the thrill the murder mystery called for.

TODAY'S EDITORIAL
Congress Aroused Over Ward Seizure
The U. S. vs. the Montgomery Ward mail order company of Chicago (Sewell Avery) fight carries a deeper significance than may at first be realized. It is not merely another one of those fights between a labor union and an employer; it is a test of the power of the War Labor Board and President Roosevelt over a private enterprise.
It is claimed by the company that the War Labor Board had no authority to call out army troops to take over their Chicago house. They say that the WLB was originally created to act as a mediator who could give "advice," but whose orders are not legally binding.
The Congressional rules committee has ordered an investigation to determine the authority in law for the recent seizure. The resolution concerning the right of the government to take such a step in controlling war-time private enterprises, although sidetracked as much as possible by chairman of the rules committee, Representative Sabath of Illinois, reached the House yesterday. The sentiment of most of the Washington Congressmen seems to have been that the President has definitely overstepped his authority in authorizing the seizing of a firm that is not actively engaged in an essential war industry. Ward carries the same line of merchandise that many small retail stores do—that is, clothing, hardware, farm equipment, etc. If the government can take a business like this over, say Ward sympathizers, what is to prevent it from grabbing any other business house in the country?
Attorney Central Francis Biddle holds out that since a small subsidiary of Wards (the Hummer Manufacturing Co.) puts out carburetors and gun mounts, the Ward company is a war industry. Also the fact that Ward has received certain priority ratings is used by Biddle to designate it as a war industry.
Biddle's opposing lawyers say his arguments are naively weak; are only rationalizations.—K. G.

How to Impress a Rushee: The pinning Saturday night of Barbara Thorpe, Chi Omega, and John Alexander, SAE, furnished sufficient incentive to revive the old Sig Alph-Chi O feud, to the amazement, amusement, and confusion of sorority members and a house full of rushees. However great the variety of first impressions, the final effect was unanimous. It seems Saturday was characterized by its wind and
Khaki WAC Garb Undergoes a Change For Summer Wear
A khaki tropical worsted uniform and a specially designed version of the overseas cap are two changes in the women's army corps summer uniform which have been authorized by the War department this week as reported by Sgt. William W. Adair, in charge of the Air WAC recruiting office for this region.
As soon as the Kansas weatherman allows, Air WACs at the State's AAF installations and WACs from other army posts will don a new uniform similar to the summer uniform worn by WAC officers with the exception that no khaki braid will appear on the sleeve cuff. The new caps for enlisted women, styled by a well-known designer, will be edged in old-gold and moss-green
rain. It also seems that by the time peace had ascended once more, the chapter house had taken on a similar character.

Dutch Student 'Remembers Still' Her Flight From Brussels to KU
"It took five months to go from Brussels to Lisbon, two months before we could get a boat to the United States, and 10 days to reach New York after Hitler invaded Belgium." Catherina Fruin Croce, Dutch exchange student on this campus, summed up her escape from the German army in 1939.
Although she has been here in the United States three and a half years and has attended the University nearly two years, Mrs. Croce still pictures vividly her refugee flight with her two brothers, her sister, and her mother.
Ober's SANDWICH MUSIC
No matter where or how long they stopped, they would hear that the Germans were coming and would have to move on. An endless line of automobiles, "Cemetery cars," and horses and carriages moved on its slow, tedious way to France. "People piled into cars with bags, tanks of gasoline, and household goods," she explained.
Social Workers Helped Refugees In all the big cities in France, arrangements were made for refugees Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Red Cross workers, and social workers helped keep the big tables laden with free food, clothing, and other necessities for the weary travelers.
"People of all classes were very good about helping each other," the blue-eyed, blond-haired exchange student said. There was little taking of things, even when people had to sleep in open parks and dance halls.
When the German planes came over, all the people hurried out of their cars or off the roadways to hide.
While the Dutch family was in the Pyrenees waiting for visas to enter Spain, peace was declared between France and Germany. Suddenly the Spanish border was closed, and the refugees were left between it and the French border. Here they staved

Athletic Teams Will Be Busy During Month
The month of May is going to be a busy sports period for spring and summer sports at the University, Track, baseball, and tennis teams will enter into extensive competition the next few weeks.
The triangular track meet here with Kansas State and Nebraska the visiting teams is set for Saturday. The Jayhawks won an indoor meet from the Aggies and Cornhuskers by a very narrow margin, so the meet should show any improvement made by any of the teams, and their chances in the Big Six meet.
There will be a great exodus of athletic teams from the University on May 20. The track team under Coach Ray Kanehl will journey to Lincoln, Nebraska, for the Big Six meet to be held there. The baseball team, coached by Jack Austin, will journey to Iowa State to meet the Cyclones and will be accompanied by the tennis team with Prof. R. S. Howey in charge. This will be the opening net meet for the tennis team.
Several baseball games have beer tentatively arranged lasting up until the 17th of June, although the schedule has not been officially announced.
W. W, Davis, faculty representative to the Big Six and chairman of the University of Kansas athletic board, and Karl Klooz, acting athletic director, will also go to Lincoln May 20 for the annual spring meeting of the Big Six Board.

James Barclay Smith, professor in the School of Law, has recently been cited as originator of the idea underlying the Louisiana Law Institute, "which is believed to be unique among the organizations of the United States engaged in the improvement of law," according to Harriet S. Daggert in an article printed in the Texas Law Review.
Smith Cited For Unique Law Plan
Professor Smith, now on leave from the University and serving as an officer in the United States army, perfected his plan in 1933. It was not until 1938 that the Institute was chartered as an official advisory revision commission.
Operating as an agency of the state government, created by legislative edict, and responsible to the legislature, the Institute is in its sixth successful year of existence. It has served to bring about greater understanding and cooperation between law school faculties and the practicing members of the legal profession.
Major Smith is now in the Judge Advocate's office, Washington, D.C. He has been on the University faculty since 1335. He formerly taught at the University of Louisiana.

The British ministry of economic warfare disclosed that from Cologne to the Bay of Biscay for a depth of 100 miles inland not a single marshalling yard is capable of assembling trains. Germany itself is suffering from a shortage of rolling stock the announcement went on while similar conditions prevailed throughout the Balkans where bottled supplies are jamming up at key switching points.
Yugloslav partisans whose activities were reported adding to German communications troubles in the Balkans were credited with inflicting a "great defeat" upon Nazi forces in Croatia. The forces of Marshal Josip (Tito) Broz occupied Bednja, Colubobac, and Konjascina near Zagreb and inflicted heavy casualties on the withdrawing enemy
The Japanese also suffered setbacks both in the Pacific battle area and in the India-Burma theater.
Mu Phi Epsilon Pledges Three
Three Fine Arts students were pledged last night to Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary music society, with the chapter's traditional serenade of announcement. The new pledges are Mrs. Mary Lotise Beatie, special student; Anne Krehbiel, senior; and Ellen Wagenfield, junior.

Volleyball Finalists Will Play Tonight; Beta's Oppose Navy
The semi-final round of the intramural volleyball tournament was played last night, with the Faculty Engineers and Betas, both A league teams, winning their way to the final round.
The Engineers, who swept through the A league undefeated, were given their toughest battle of the year by Ship's Company, B league co-champion, finally winning by a score of 15-9, 9-15, 15-7. The Betas, A league runners-up, scored a mild upset by downing the Ph Delta, 15-12, 15-9. The losers, in tying for the B league crown, had beaten Ship's Company and had absorbed only one loss.
The championship game finds the Betas anxious to knock over their intra-league rivals and avenge their defeat of a week ago, the only one they have suffered all year. The Engineers, however, are favored because of their very impressive record.

Theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations will be mixed in the program.

(International News Service)
The British American sky war against key targets in Hitler's European fortress thundered into its eighteenth straight day today paced by barge B-17 fortresses which ravaged the Nazi-held airdrome in occupied Holland. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson revealed that the enemy cannot hope to keep pace with the havoc being brought upon coastal rail lines.
Stimson also discussed the noose gathering about Japan. The blows are now falling against Nippon with increasing frequency and "are not isolated operations but part of the Allied program" to strangle Nippon he revealed.
"The Nazis" he said, "may be expected to concentrate on reconstruction of their rail centers, but they cannot keep pace with the rate of destruction, and the effect must be cumulative."
He made his statements to correspondents in Washington, 24 hours after the British ministry announced that enemy rail lines cannot handle peak loads due when the Allies open their second front.

Kansas Will Not Use Federal War Ballots For Armed Services
Kansas is prepared to enable every citizen in any branch of the armed services to vote, according to Gov. Andrew Schoeppel, who has advised the federal war ballot commission that the federal ballot will not be used in this state.
The governor made it plain, also, that the federal ballot on which the men and women in the armed services vote only for president and members of Congress is not authorized for use by a soldier who is a citizen of Kansas stationed at a Kansas post.
The Recreation Training Institute sponsored by the physical education department, will begin May 16 instead of May 6, as was published in yesterday's Daily Kansan.
"We have all the machinery set up and the ballots will go forward beginning September 1," Governor Schoeppel has announced. "We can't go any earlier," he explained, "because of the time lag in canvassing the primary returns to determine what names go on the official ballots. All that is needed is for the government to provide adequate mail service to the fighting men and women in all branches of the service."
Training Institute To Be May 16
To be usable, state ballots must be received by soldiers before Oct.1. Thereafter, according to provisions of the federal enactment, the federal ballot must be accepted by the states.
The method of voting applies only to the general election. Men and women in the armed forces must use the standard absentee system to vote in the primary.

K.U. Women Show Zeal in Flood Work
While some citizens of North Lawrence stood watching the Kaw flood waters rise to a height that menaced their homes the Sunday that the river was at its most dangerous stage, a number of University women labored on the river bank filling sand bags.
The first contingent of four women from one of the organized social houses, dressed to do real work, arrived early Sunday afternoon. When they told the chief city engineer that they wanted to do work, he suggested they go back to the community building and make sand-wiches and coffee for the male laborers. They protested that they desired to do more than that, so the astonished man put them to the task of filling sand bags.
Shortly afterwards, other women came and offered to help do the same type of work. Some of them worked on shifts of several hours duration, while others worked from 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon until 5 o'clock Monday morning. According to reports from the city leaders in the flood control work, the University women were willing to stay as long as they could do anything and as long as they were needed
Obviously, most of these women had nothing materially at stake in working to hold back the flood waters. They had no real interests in the North Lawrence district, outside of interest of humanitarianism. Yet they proved themselves willing to go out and give their time and energy to save the homes of some tenants waiting in idleness for the flood waters to recede.
These women received no compensation for their participation in the sand bag battle, they were not compelled to go—they did it simply because they wanted to help.
It showed the tops in spirit on the part of K. U. women!—W, T.
German Cities, Sites Discussed by Group
Geographic features of Germany were discussed by members of the German conversational group meeting last night in Myers hall. Under the direction of a committee of Reva Brown, chairman, and Bethel Reimer the group also described cities and sites in Germany which they would like to visit after the war. The members completed identifications on blank maps of Germany, and observed pictures of German cities in pamphlets furnished by Sarah Peters, German instructor. Chairman for the program for next Wednesday will be Alberta Cornwell.

What Price Glory — Lawrence naval aviation cadets have a saying that "naval is a great life if you can fly it, but Great Lakes if you can't." Charlie Townsend can testify, however, that sometimes it's best to be last but not least. Charley recently cut himself a slice of glory by being the first cadet to solo in his group. No sooner had he accomplished this great feat, than his mates tossed him under the shower—uniform, glory, and all.

Inspiration — George Martin, PT-8, became passionately inspired by the sun-beams yesterday just long enough to turn out a masterpiece (he said). It follows:
Ode to Spring
Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz,
The flowers rise,
Wherever they is,
The boid is on the wing,
But the wing is on the boid,
The boid is on the tree,
The tree is in the ground,
And the green grass growed al around.

Business Will Need Trained Personnel, Says Dean Stockton
WAR STAMPS
C. CROMPER
There is a strong demand for women in accounting, statistics, and the secretarial field nowadays, said Dean F. T. Stockton, of the School of Business yesterday.
This demand is not only in war industry, but also in essential industries and civilian fields. State and federal government departments are searching for people who are trained in these fields.
An almost unlimited number of women could be placed in positions with good salaries now, said Dean Stockton.
In the postwar period, as well as now, business will be one of the areas which will be in greatest need of personnel. The war urgency has resulted in a large number of people getting only partial business training. Those who received a more complete training will get better positions when the labor market is less favorable to employees than it is now.
A large number of concerns will find it necessary to rebuild personnel in the postwar era around the key positions held by adequately trained persons.
Business executives have said that enrollment in business schools should be large in the postwar period, said Dean Stockton. After the war, there will be a lag of two or three years in meeting personnel demands while students are finishing their educations.
The war has resulted in almost complete discontinuance of collegiate business education for men, and in only a moderate increase for women.

Engineers Are Tops In Volleyball Finals With Betas' Defeat
Intramural volleyball honors went to the undefeated Faculty Engineers last night, when they defeated the Betas in the finals. The Phi Delt's took consolation honors by trouncing Ship's Company.

In the consolation game the Phi Delts repeated their triumph of a week ago over Ship's company, winning by a score of 15-12, 15-5. The two teams had tied for the B league title, but lost out in the semi-final round of the play-offs.

With a full in football after the ending of spring practice Jayhawker fans may be wondering who will be around for gridiron duty when the season begins. No one can be sure, least of all the men themselves, who will be here, but the possibilities can be summarized in order to get a fair picture of 1944 football prospects.
At the present time there are 13 lettermen still in school: John Bergin, Dan Chase, Bill Chestnut, Don Faulkner, Charles Moffett, Wayne Hird, Charles Keller, Warren Riegle, Bob Miller, LeRoy Robison, Don Barrington, Gordon Stucker, and Junius Penny. These are left out of 27 lettermen of last fall.
Stucker and Penny have been inducted into the army and probably will be called for active duty within the next few weeks. These men played end and tackle on last year's team.
Of the 13 men on the Hill, seven are backfield men, leaving only six linemen. This leaves a serious shortage of experienced front line men. In spring practice drills the shortage continued to be present as there were more backs than linemen, although several of the latter candidates showed fine promise. Cantrell, Hill, Bouse, Stockdale, Daignault, Harris, Kuhnel, Ryan, Shondell, and others were among this group.
New backs on the campus who have shown fine ability in spring drills are Casteixe, Joseph, Mosher, Orr, Schmidt, Short, Williams, Benedict, Welch, Schimenz, and Baumann. Weatherby, a squadman from last year will be back, and Faulkner, who played a rugged game at guard last fall, has been converted into a fullback and has adapted himself well to the position.
It is hardly necessary to say that naval transfers will play a large part in the uncertain future. V-5 trainees helped immensely last fall, especially in line replacements; but these men cannot be counted on next season. Eight of the 13 lettermen are navy men. Transfers July 1 may bring in some more football material, but they may just as easily ship some out.
Men like the unforgettable Bob George, Dickey, Gruden, Overman, Carson, Agee, Miller, Banks, Wade, and several others will not be back due to navy transfers, army calls, etc. The job before coaches Shenk, Schaake, Nesmith is a big one—to form a smooth machine out of inexperienced men with personnel changes always on hand to upset the most carefully laid plans. But we doubt if the job will be any bigger than it was last year—when an entire new coaching staff took over with a young and green team, having only two lettermen back, and with a constantly changing personnel. But the Jayhawkers weathered the storm and kept fighting to the finish—the finish being the Missouri game.
After last season, Kansas fans have the utmost confidence in the coaching staff, and are sure the Jayhawks will have an even better season, although playing a much tougher schedule.

WAVES in Action ★★ Link Trainer Instructor
JEWELRY DESIGNER
OFFICIAL U. S. NAVY PHOTOGRAPH
This WAVE—and hundreds like her—keeps keep 'em flying. She's an important cog in the machinery which makes Navy fliers. As a Link Trainer Instructor, her job is to give directions to fliers, seated in cockpits of stationary training planes. The instrument in front of her, called a "crab," records how well the pilot carries out those directions. As a result of this kind of training, hazards are greatly reduced for pilots when they go aloft. The inset shows a rating badge worn by Link Trainer Instructors, the "T" meaning teacher. A new booklet about the WAVES is available at Navy Recruiting Offices.

Soldiers Overseas Find Mates Easily
As the big U.S. transport ship moved into San Francisco harbor last week, it brought not only a couple of thousand returning veterans of South Pacific campaigns—but almost a hundred Australian lassies who were coming to the States for the first time to meet their in-laws. The G. I. Joes Uncle Sam sent "down under" to fight the Japs found time to woo and win mates of their choice. Not only did they win them, but, as evidenced by the transport, boxed them up and sent them home for safe-keeping.
There could be a moral in this incident for the American girl who has a fellow in the service, not especially overseas but any place away from home where females abide. The American man isn't always a type of domestic animal that will brood and suffer the pangs of loneliness long, especially when green pastures present themselves almost immediately outside his barracks door. If the girl back home jilts him, he'll venture forth to seek another's companionship — that is he probably will.
Without a doubt, the tales of the "fickle American female" to be found about any army camp are among the most tragic—evidence in the form of broken engagements, smashed childhood romances and curtailments of sweet smelling letters.
It won't be too much of an ex-aggeration to say that unless our society wants a populace of aged spinisters to appear in our midst a few decades hence, robbing the till of good tax money for their upkeep as social burdens, something is going to have to be done to keep these American girls "left behind" more faithful to those G.I.'s away from home. And logically the only persons to do anything about the situation are the American girls themselves.
The Australian, English, Egyptian, Italian, Hawaiian, and even African girls are all right, but things would probably work out a lot nicer if the American girls would wisely look after their own romantic interests (and future) in the army, navy or marines, and let the foreign girls stay foreign for the foreign men in the services.
Capt. Elmo Hardy, '41 Sends Specimens Of Insects From India
Prof. H. B. Hungerford of the department of entomology received an unusual gift from India yesterday. Capt. Elmo Hardy, a former K. U. student, sent him various specimens of insects that are common in India which included unusual species of mosquitoes, water bugs, and leeches. Among the insects are many new species that will be valuable to the collection of the department.
Captain Hardy is now serving with the Sanitary Corps in India as a medical officer. It is his duty to keep the insect problem under control and exterminate the more harmful types. He received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University in June, 1941.

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Celebidity—A few weeks ago Betty Schieber made a great statement, which was printed in this column. Little did she know that soon her exclamation, "Please send a train to 1144 Louisiana right away. I've got to catch a 6:30 cab," would skyrocket her to fame and boost the Alpha O mail delivery to proportions comparable to a good sized correspondence division.
It seems the United Press picked up the item and (plug for the UP) carried it to practically every inhabited region in the world. Her latest fan letter arrived last week from Hawaii, Mrs. H. J. Nieman of the class of 1930 had seen her famous statement in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

The Show Must Go On—Which is exactly what it did, in spite of rain or sleet or threat of death—and Boby Sue McCluggage had begun to give serious consideration to that last idea before the second performance of "Nine Girls" was over. At a crucial moment in the play, Margie Johnson's script declared she was to pour a handful of pills in a glass of wine (coke) and give the potion to Bobbie Sue to drink.
For Monday night's performance Margie had strictly fake, strictly harmless, capsules; but the "props" were all used the first night. So the second night she decided to use aspirin. Her "victim" was dubious from the beginning, but Margie assured her the pills would float on top and she could "drink around them."
With the help of Gerry Nelson and Barbara Brehm, she dumped a
The play climbed toward a climax—the audience was enjoying the proper suspense—Margie poured the beverage and added the pills—orated several dramatic speeches—then handed the glass to Bobbie Sue. The aspirin had dissolved! The victim (and no kidding) took one look and did her duty as a trooper. And the audience never knew, but Bobby had some pretty hot—and cold—moments before the effect wore off.

The culprits hardly had gotten settled when the roommates came crashing through the door under full fire from privately constructed water bottle-squirt guns. When they had exhausted their ammunition, the "friends" floated back home, leaving their playmates thoroughly soaked, and thoroughly discouraged.
Anderson to Give Dedication Recital

Engineering Offered Since 1870
The School of Engineering was established in 1891. From 1870 the department of engineering, then organized in the University, had offered courses in civil and electrical engineering, but it was not until 1891 that the division was established on the basis of a district school. In 1927 the name of the school was changed to the School of Engineering and Architecture.

Tin Cans Collected In A.L. Drive Today
Tin cans deposited at the curbing were collected today by city trucks in the drive conducted by the Dorsey-Liberty post of the American Legion and the auxiliary. University houses were included in the pick-up routes but the army and navy collections will be made separately, according to C. T. Hough, drive chairman.
All cans must be clean, the wrappers removed, both ends tucked inside and the can flattened, said S. C. Harper, city engineer. Otherwise they cannot be picked up in this special drive. They will be used for the salvaging of tin for the war effort.

1943 Honor Student
Warren E. Snyder
Warren Snyder Is'43 Honor Man
Warren E. Snyder, engineering graduate from Hutchinson, has been chosen as honor man for the class of 1943, announced Chancellor Deane W. Malott, in the 21st annual Honors Convocation held this morning. Snyder, who is now doing secret research work at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., was notified of his selection by telegram immediately following the convocation.
Nominated to the Chancellor by an anonymous committee who based its decision on character, scholarship, unselfish service, breadth of interests and leadership, Snyder graduated from the four-year course in mechanical engineering with a grade average of 2.76 out of a possible 3.0.
During his college career, he was elected to both Sigma Tau and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternities, and later was chosen president of Tau Beta Pi. He also participated in Y.M.C.A. activities, played in the University band, and was active in University politics, being elected vice-president of the Independent Students' Association.
After his graduation last spring, Snyder married Mary Gene Hull of Wichita, whom he met while attending the University. She had been president of the I.S.A. when Snyder served as vice-president.
Snyder's name, as are the names of all K.U. honor men, will be inscribed on a bronze plaque in the Memorial Union building.
Battenfelds Give $200 Scholarship

Speaker Believes Peace Will Come Through Morality
Asserting that a lasting peace will not be had until people have delegated their minds and hearts to the supreme task of eradicating the pagan idea of force and power, and supplementing in its place the principle of morality, Dr. Ben F. Cherrington, Chancellor of the University of Denver spoke to an assembly of students and faculty at the 20th annual Honors Convocation this morning.
Dr. Cherrington, a participant in European and South American negotiations since 1920, made a special trip from New York City where he was attending conferences, to make the speech. He will return to New York tonight.
"In less than 15 years," said Dr. Cherrington in his address this morning, "there has been a change from force and power to morality and trust."
"Our government rests on a political-economical-cultural tripod," said the visiting Chancellor. There is a better political understanding today between the United States and Mexico, Central America, and most of Latin America than formerly, he added.
"Economically speaking, we are obtaining raw materials and precious metals on a new emergency cooperative basis. But overall committees with representatives from the Pan-American countries and from the United States are working to solve the long-time problems of becoming more self-contained and economically independent," said Dr. Cherrington.
However, "cultural aliens" behind the government will bring political and economic planning to little avail, and the structure of friendly relations will be based only on shifting sand, said Dr. Cherrington.

Food Supply Cuts Home-Front Problem
Man's heart may not really be in his stomach but the two are close together. Doubtlessly one of the most widely discussed topics during wartime is food. Especially in these times the subject of food has become almost a mania with people. The huge sales of vitamin pills of all varieties is indicative of the general concern over diet. The O.P.A. announcement last week that most meats will no longer be rationed lifted questions from the minds of all those made happy by the surprise.
How is it we suddenly have meat in plenty? The problems of rationing food, supplying our armed forces overseas with food, and lending our allies food are by no means problems of only this war. It is extremely difficult to estimate the amount of food necessary for different populations, civilians, and fighting men. After the last war, thousands of dollars worth of food from the United States was left as a surplus in France.
This war is being fought on a much larger scale. Also more is known and been published about balanced diets. Civilians and men in uniform are fed more scientifically today. The present surplus of meat is chiefly due to an over-estimation of the needs of our fighting forces and allies. How much better it is, however, to have extra food than to want for enough food.
Now that we can have all the meat we want, all the coffee we want, and sufficient sugar, perhaps our griping and greediness will cease. At least one Black Market will be eliminated and its participants ruined by the new O.P.A. rule. Americans should indeed feel fortunate for, in a world of starvation, they have only to choose what they want for their three square meals.—A.R.
Get Tax Exemption Too
WAVES and WACs get the same income tax exemption as men in uniform.
Rock Chalk Talk
Some work had to be done on the Jayhawker, so Editor Mary Morrill and Chi O Bev Bohan donned jeans and pigtails Saturday night and went to the office in the Union. (May it be noted early in the story that the ISA formal was an event of Saturday night.)
About 11:30 Mary and Bev rubbed their eyes, and decided to call it a day. They pulled their lumberjackets around them, and made a mad dash for the basement entrance of the Union. It was locked.
Meanwhile the intermission of the ISA dance had begun. Couples streamed into the Union fountain for a coke. Avoiding stares flashed in their direction, the two tore upstairs for some avenue of escape. At the top were Phi Psis Earle Crawford and Wayne Hird, just breezing in for a coke, who saw Mary, rushed over and said in unison, "What a lovely formal you have on this evening, Miss Morrill; may we have this舞?"

How to Play Bridge in Two Easy Lessons. Lesson number I.
(It may be added that the door seemed far, far away).
V-12's Jack Schroll and Wally (Boomer) Grimes play bridge together, but rarely. It seems that Wally is addicted to some sort of personalized bidding. (He picks out every card numbered between the deuce and seven, throws them up
in the air, and the suit he picks up first is the one he bids.
After several futile attempts at the conventional style, earnest partner Scroll threw up his hands in goshawful horror, and with a stricken whisper, remarked, "Look here old boy Boomer. I hate to be obvious about this but
why
don't
you

suit???"

Lesson number 2—June Ashlock,
Corbinite, has been understandably excited since she learned that her man of the moment, Jerry Dick, was back in the U.S. from foreign duty. She has since been hoping that he would arrive in Lawrence before long. Dick hasn't as yet, arrived. But June is still hoping. So the other night, while playing bridge, June dealt out the 52 cards, picked up her 13, looked at them, looked around the table, and calmly stated, "What is trumps, please?"

Since 1938, the exchange of students, translations of famous literature, interchange in the field of radio, and art displays have brought a better cultural feeling between the United States and her neighbors to the south. Dr. Cherrington believes. "Culture is a people's problem, and is as broad and deep as life itself. The invisible bonds of culture will hold our nation steady when the economic and political foundations are shaky," he added.
Stating that the people of the United States are the "trustees" of all that is man's finest creations in the New World, Dr. Cherrington emphasized that peace will not be built on power politics, but morality.
Dr. Cherrington, internationally known for his views on Pan-American relations, has directed since 1926 the foundation for the advancement of social sciences. In 1929 he was director of the Interational Student Seminar in Geneva. At the invitation of the President and the Secretary of State, he organized the division of cultural relations in the department of state in 1938, and served as its chief until 1940. He is also head of the department of International relations of the University of Denver.

Jayhawks Take Three Way Track And Field Meet
In a triangular track and field meet held last Saturday at Memorial Stadium the Kansas Jayhawks smashed to an overwhelming triumph over Kansas State and Nebraska, by amassing the total of 85 points. Nebraska scored 37 points and Kansas State 12.
Kansas completely dominated the meet, as they captured eight first places, tied for another, and followed up by taking 13 seconds. The Cornhuskers scored six firsts while tying for another, and the Aggies were unable to chalk up one first place and placed second in only two events.
The Jayhawkers captured all three events—the two mile run, broad jump, and the high jump; they also took the one-two spots in three other events—mile run, 100, and 220.
Bob Lillibridge led the Jayhawkers as well as being high point man of the meet by scoring 13 points. He had firsts in the 220-yard dash and the broad jump, and placed second in the 100-yard dash.
Frank Stannard had tough luck in the high hurdles as he tripped over the last hurdle while in the lead and took a hard spill that obviously slowed him down in the low hurdles.
The scoring:
Mile run—Clark, Kansas; Schell, Kansas; Noorday, Kansas State; 5.4.
440-yard dash—Kratz, Nebraska; Richey, Kansas; Stewart, Kansas; 50.6.

Janitor Gives Party To Prep Students; Relates KU History
Appreciation for Fraser hall, its historical background, and the significance of educational opportunities today were expressed in a party given by Sam S. Elliott, custodian in Fraser hall, for members of the chorus of the University High School in the music room in Fraser hall Friday afternoon.
Sharing with the students impressions first received 60 years ago as a country boy at a church Christmas party which led to a reverence for the church and then experiences gained as a mail carrier for 41 years in Lawrence and five years on the campus which led to a respect for Fraser hall as symbolic of the history of the University, Mr. Elliott reviewed the significance of outstanding facts concerning the hall. Although he had retired as mail ear-

rier, Mr. Elliott became a custodian at the University two years ago because of the shortage of janitors and night watchmen occasioned by war industry.
After observing Fraser hall through the years as a center of community life in early Lawrence with Horace Greeley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Sherman, President Hays, and General U. S. Grant among the outstanding early visitors, Mr. Elliott said the thing which had impressed him was watching the army of young people streaming along the streets in a self-propelled determined line "trying to get somewhere."

The street dance, to be held in front of Watson library, will begin at 8:30 p.m., said Miss O'Neal.
In reviewing the teams which will dig together on the campus, Miss O'Neal said that independent students living in unorganized houses are urged to participate in Dandelion Day. They may align with any team they choose and therefore have a choice of plots.

A Cappella Choir To Give Annual Concert Monday
The annual concert of the University A Capella Choir under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts will be presented Monday evening in Hoch auditorium, Dean Swarthout announced today.
Although various university a capella choirs and mixed choral groups have been abandoned throughout the country because of the lack of male voices, the A Capella Choir has continued despite previously unexperienced difficulties in a constantly changing personnel. With 25 to 30 basses and tenors dropping their choir work primarily for induction into military service, and new men needing training to replace them, the choir has emerged at the close of the year with a group of about 80 members.
Despite these difficulties the choir will appear Monday in their royal blue surplices with white satin stoles to present a program of Negro spirituals, American folk songs, music from contemporary English and American composers, and a group of numbers from the choir music of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Dean Swarthout announced that there would be no tax or admission charge to the concert which is open to the public.
The interest which has arisen in Latin America must be permanent in educational programs, said Dr. Harold E. Davis, representative of the Office of Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, in his speech yesterday.
Dr. Davis Stresses Education in Relation To Pan-Americanism
Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the east.
Inter-Americanism is here to stay, stated Dr. Davis, because the America's need each other. Educators are trying to have languages receive the importance that is demanded by people speaking those languages in other countries.
Dr. Davis, who joined the Rockefeller office in 1942, is a graduate of Hiram College, Ohio. He did graduate work at the University of Chicago and Western Reserve, and was a history professor at Hiram College from 1928 to 1942.
"In order to have a permanent interest in the Latin America's we must discover common objectives, attitudes and ideas which both North and South America can share," declared Dr. Davis. "It is the job of the educators to discover a basis for these common ideas."
"Ties of understanding and cooperation are necessary between the America's before we can have a stepping stone to international education on a broader scale," said Dr. Davis.
The America's already share in common the problem of adjusting relationships between races and cultures, he said.

Grad Chats With Queen Of England
A half hour "chat" with Queen Elizabeth of England is the boast of Major William H. Dillenbeck, Jr., Kansas City, Mo., a graduate of the University in 1925.
Reporting that he found the queen "a delightful woman." Major Dillenbeck did not explain the reason for the honor, stating only that he had been called from the north of England to be presented to the queen at a special party. The wife of the king of England was pictured in the Kansas City Times greeting the major in the famed Churchill Club in London.
While attending the University, Major Dillenbeck was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Before entering the army he was principal of the Southern California Military Academy at Long Beach. He has been serving in the adjutant general's office in England for (two years).

Germans Admit Move of Troops Further West
(International News Service)
With the current non-stop bombardment of Hitler's fortress into its twenty-third straight day enemy outlets hinted that Mediterranean based Allied craft might also be hitting at Nazidom from the south. The raids which followed on the heels of widespread RAF night operations again were aimed at enemy air fields and rail centers. Red army troops crashed steadily on the besieged Black seaport of Sevastopol and Nazi agencies began to assure their listeners that the city no longer possesses "operational or strategic importance" and again utilized the passage "the whole eastern front has been moved west."
The war in the Pacific found the Japanese losing ground steadily in all theaters but China where one unofficial dispatch reported that the Nipponese still were forging.
In the Manipur hills section of northern Burma Allied forces stemmed a five-pronged Japanese drive aimed at wrestling control of high ground.
A spokesman at Gen. Douglas McArthur's headquarters announced that American troops had captured the Cape Hoskins airdrone on New Britain encountering no enemy opposition and now are pushing toward Rabaul.

Approximately 700 persons attended the annual University Women's Glee Club concert last night in Hoch auditorium to hear choral numbers by the entire glee club and 11 specialty numbers and solos by members of the Glee Club and assisting artists.
Modern songs constituted the next group sung by the Glee Club. These included "What Is More Gentle Than a Wind in Summer," (Reperp); "Country Gardens," (Old English; "Ghosts of White Birches," (Travis-Skeath); and "Springtime's Reawakening." (Levenson). A flute obbligate for the last selection was played by Frances Sartori, Fine Arts freshman, and Judy Van Deventer, junior in the School of Education.
The concert opened with the Glee Club's singing of four sacred selections, "Thee Lord Most Holy" (Satetee); "Let Thy Mercies also Come Into Me," (Davis) with a brief contralto solo by Fern Ruegesegger, Fine Arts sophomore; "Praise Ye the Lord in heaven," (Arensky); and "The Lord Is My Shepherd," (Schubert).
Ultra modern songs of the second part of the program were presented
"Adagio" from "Concerto in E Minor." (Conus), a violin solo, was played by Doris Sheppard, Business junior.
Following this group, Merton Anderson, Fine Arts, freshman, tenor, sang "M'Appari" from Martha." Allen Rogers, Fine Arts freshman, pianist, played Saint-Saens" "Etude in Form of a Waltz."

The units of the program were introduced by the master of ceremonies, Ted Lehmman, College senior.

Pointers about novel and feature writing were given to young writers, by Paul I. Wellman, editorial and feature writer for the Kansas City Star, in his appearance before University students yesterday.
(continued to page three)
Discussing feature writing at 4:30 in the Union lounge before members of Press Club and Quill Club, Mr. Wellman stressed the importance of the writer's having a relaxed and receptive mind and a wide range of interest.
In the evening address at the Coonial tea room to members of There Sigma Phi, women's honorary journalism society, the author of several western novels gave suggestions regarding novel writing. His system, he explained, is to have a general outline of the plot and then permit it to develop as it will. This, he believes, keeps the novel from becoming stilted.

Co-ed Should Think In Joining Service
Continuing their drives for volunteers, the WACs and the WAVEs along with the other women's auxiliary services, through their recruiting campaigns, provide temptation to "help win the war" to the average college woman. The smooth blue uniforms of the WAVEs or the strictly G.I. khaki clothing of the WACs probably add a shot of romance, promise of adventure and glamor to the thought of joining one of the services.
In allowing the various recruiters of the several services to campaign on the campuses of the nation's colleges and universities, the institutions of higher learning do not necessarily endorse the appeals or promises of the services, nor do they advise any woman student to join or not to join. The recruiters are shown every courtesy available and are allowed to hold their drives with a minimum of disturbance in the general routine of giving and receiving an education.
Though the recruiters say their principal objective in campaigning on the college campus is to draw only the attention of the graduating seniors, girls who would quit their education to join for the duration certainly would not be frowned upon.
Women considering joining one of the auxiliary services should give the matter considerable and serious thought, remembering throughout that no branch of the service for women is as glamorous as it must be painted in a campaign to recruit material. On the other hand, however, it should be kept foremost in mind that the services are doing a good job in replacing men going to active combat.
A woman should consider her individual personality, her likes and dislikes, her physical being, her future as a civilian, her opportunities for promotion in the service, and many other things before even making the initial application for enlistment. Once sworn into the service force, the woman has enlisted for the "duration of the war, plus six months," and would find it next to impossible honorably to retrieve her former status as a civilian merely upon the desire for it.
Woodruff, Ulmer Attend Meeting
Dr. L. C. Woodruff, registrar, and Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean in the College, left Sunday to attend a regional conference on postwar education, in Madison, Wis.
Credit for military experience, guidance of returning military men, the displaced student who will return to school after the war, and the education of veterans will be some of the topics discussed at the conference. Colleges and universities from the North Central states will send representatives.
Dr. Woodruff has just returned from a two weeks' visit at Iowa University and Iowa State College. Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and a conference of the National Association of College Registrars in Chicago. He and Dean Ulmer will participate in panel discussions at the Madison conference. They will return to the University Wednesday.
Maintenance of a single soldier overseas requires about sixty-five pounds of supplies per man per day.
Rock Chalk Talk
The DG pinning of Sarah Jane Worsley to Sigma Nu Don King went according to tradition Monday. And after dinner the line of DG's started filing past to plaster King with regulation kisses.
Back for the week end were Betty Van Blarcom McGee with Phi Delt husband Howard McGee, Mrs. McGee was early in the line, but Howard, it seems, remained in the guest room to finish packing, Coming out of the guest room, McGee found himself at the end of the line but, oddly enough, stepped out just before reaching King.

It is sad to relate, but here are the facts: Phi Kappa Psi will be unable to attend the Dandelion Day festival Wednesday. It seems that Randolphus Superflexus Musciidaffy (a kindred kid) has passed to the Great Beyond, and the brothers out of the sympathy their hearts contain, must remain home in silent commemoration.
"Well," he admitted later, "I was going to shake hands with Don as a matter of course, but the closer I got, the more afraid I was that he'd kiss me just from habit.

French Film Will Be Fourth Forum's Movie
"Crime and Punishment," a French film adapted from the famous Russian novel by Dostoyevsky, will be shown free of charge at 7:30 Thursday evening in Fraser theater by the Student Forums Board.
This masterpiece in psycho-analysis has often been filmed, according to Joy Miller, chairman of the Board, but this French version, directed by Pierre Chenal, presents the Russian novel in its most effective form. Pierre Blanchar is cast as the morbid student, Raskolnikov, and Harry Baur as the cunning police inspector.
Background music was composed by Arthur Honegger.

Sunshine Greets Dandelion Day Despite Forecast
A bright sun shining continuously this morning reassured Dandelion Day officials who have been reading with apprehension, reports for showers this afternoon. Apparently, the weather, will cooperate with the Jay Janes when their University dig begins at 4:30 afternoon.
In case of a sudden shower, however, Betty Jo O'Neal, chairman of the day, has announced, the all-University picnic will be held in Robinson gymnasium and the street dance will be held in Hoch auditorium.
Miss O'Neal said she believed students were meeting with success in finding their own digging implements for the afternoon and evening siege on the campus pests. She expressed her regret that the planning committee found it impossible to provide implements for everyone.
Menu for Picnic
The picnic menu will include sandwiches, potato chips, apples, and a drink, Miss O'Neal said. The sandwiches, potato chips, and apples are being provided by women's houses. Members of the Jay Janes are handling a drink and ice cream concession with Emily Hollis as chairman.
According to Miss O'Neal, the picnic will be buffet style in Fowler Grove. It should, begin about 6 o'clock. After they eat, students are expected to continue digging.
Insuring almost one hundred per cent attendance of students at the picnic, no meals will be served this evening in most organized women's houses, and V-12 members have been excused from their evening meal at the Memorial Union building.
The street dance, for which Roger Muir and his 12-piece dance band will play, will be held in front of Blake hall instead of in front of Watson Library as previously announced. The dance will begin at 8:30.
Kansan Board Votes Special D-Day Extra
Plans for a special edition of the University Daily Kansan, to be published on D-Day, were approved by the Kansan Board at a meeting in the Journalism building last night, Jeanne Shoemaker, chairman, announced. The extra will 'come out as soon after the invasion starts as possible.
June 9 was also selected as the tentative date for the annual Kansan Board banquet, at which awards will be made for outstanding work done during the past year on the Daily Kansan. Arrangements for an out-of-town speaker to appear on the program are also being made, Miss Shoemaker said.
In order to elect new members to the board, a nominating committee to choose those students elegible was appointed by the chairman. Dean Sims, as chairman of the committee, will be assigned by Anne Louise Rossman, Joy Miller, Jeanne Shoemaker, and Jean Jones.
Members also voted to revise the style sheet on the paper to bring it up to date.
K.U. Medics To Sponsor Exhibition
Several scientific exhibits will be presented by the University of Kansas Schol of Medicine at the annual meeting of the Kansas Medical Society in Topeka this afternoon and Thursday. The University School of Medicine in Kansas City will also sponsor a number of exhibits from its clinical and research departments.
Outline maps showing the location of doctors in the state who have attended each of four postgraduate medical clinics in the last year will be displayed by the extension division. In this series during the past year, the extension division has offered practical courses on tropical diseases in six centers over the state, on diseases of the chest in five centers, on venereal diseases in seven centers, and on cardiac disorders in five centers.
The display being presented by the School of Medicine will include exhibits by the department of anatomy, under the direction of Dr. C.W. Asling and Dr. H.B. Latimer; by the department of bacteriology, under the direction of Dr. Cora Downs and Dr. Charles B. Drake; by the department of biochemistry, under the direction of Dr. C.F. Nelson; by the department of physiology, under the direction of Dr. O. O. Stoland, and Dr. Parke Woodard; and by the department of zoology, under the direction of Dr. Mary Larson.
Turney Makes Study Of Guidance Bureau
Prof. A. H. Turney of the School of Education returned Sunday from Minneapolis, Minn., where he conferred for three days with the staff of the Student Counciling Bureau at the University of Minnesota in an effort to obtain suggestions and ideas for a guidance bureau that will soon be set up at the University.
Professor Turney said the University of Minnesota has one of the most carefully organized and extensive student personnel services of any he knows. Since 1932, when the bureau was adopted, the student personnel service helped many students in their personal and scholastic problems. The bureau administers tests to every high school senior in Minnesota, and helps the students decide what he wants to do before he enrolls in college.
The guidance bureau to be established at the University sometime soon will be directed by Professor Turney and will do much of the same kind of work as that done at the University of Minnesota. Although there are not many such bureaus in the United States, said Professor Turney, more are being organized as their need is realized.
Senior announcements and greeting cards should be purchased in the College business office before Friday, May 19, Don Atchison, member of the invitations committee, has announced.
Senior Announcements To Be Sold This Week
The cards, now on display at the business office, must be paid for at the time of purchase.

Nazi Defense Moves To French Coast; Sevastopol Falls
(International News Service)
Pilots returning from the twenty-fourth straight day of onslaught on Europe today reported that during the last 48 hours ack-ack fire has been noticeably lighter in important target areas but stronger over the French coastal strip.
American airmen striking at Japanese aerial strength west of Hollandia, New Guinea plastered an airdrome in the Schouten island twice in rapid succession, setting off fires and explosions visible many miles away.
Red army troops marshalled their strength for new blows following the capture of Sevastopol and liberation of the entire Crimea. The Germans had held this Black sea base since 1942.
Today's daylight attacks against railyards, airdromes, and similar objectives, came in the wake of strong night assaults against the French invasion coast and a Paris suburb. Berlin was also given a slight pasting during the pre-dawn hours. The Ankara radio reported that the Rumanian capital of Bucharest was bombed this morning.

ASC Resolves
A Special Resolution:
A Special Resolution:
Whereas: There are on the campus a large number of members of the Armed Forces of the United States who desire to play what part they are able in the activities of student government, and
Whereas: They constitute a large and influential organized group, unable to obtain representation on the All Student Council in any other manner.
Be it therefore resolved by the Associated Students of the University of Kansas:
No Court Ruling Since Ward CIO
That: (1) The list of organized groups on the All Student Council shall read: Men's Dorm Council, Women's Dorm Council, YWCA YMCA, Student Housing Association, Negro Student Association, Jay James, Pan-Hellenic Council, Armed Forces.
And that: (2) These two representatives from the armed forces shall be elected at a special election at the time of the general election by their regularly enrolled members voting in accordance with such provisions of Bill No. II as may be determined applicable by the Elections Committee.
Chicago, (INS)—The widely disputed question of the government's legal authority for the seizure of Montgomery Ward and Company remained unanswered today as federal judge William H. Holly refused to rule on an injunction following return of the mail order firm to company hands.
"There is nothing for me to decide," said Holly, in view of the government's withdrawal from the plant after the CIO union involved decisively won a collective bargaining election among Ward employees
Sewell L. Avery, 69-year-old board chairman of Wards, declared "The election doesn't mean a thing." He said the company would still fight a maintenance of membership clause for a new or continued contract with the union.
In Washington the chairman of the house and senate committees investigating government seizure said that release of the mail order firm from federal rule will have no effect on their inquiries.
New Stamp to Commemorate First Telephone Message
The Post Office Department has just announced a three-cent stamp in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the first message transmission by telephone.
A resolution granting the armed forces of the University two elected representatives on the All-Student Council was presented by members of PWCL and PSGL and passed at a special meeting of the All-Student Council at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
According to its provisions, the armed forces will elect two men from their group to sit on the council at the time of the regular All-Student Council election on May 25. All regularly enrolled members of the armed forces will vote for the representatives.
The resolution is the first official action which has been taken all year to grant members of the armed forces of the University an active part in student government.
Said Peggy Davis, President of the All-Student Council, "The Council's action indicates, I believe, its willingness to cooperate to the greatest extent with the army and navy. The Council recognizes the desirability of having, as members, representatives of the armed forces. It is not willing, however, to permit the armed forces to be used as a political football in the coming election."
"The council's action," said Miss Davis, "is expected to meet the requests of petitions circulated on the campus this morning by members of the navy program, asking for recognition of service men in student government."
Council Apportions Representatives
The apportionment of representatives from the various schools of the University and polling places for the election on May 25 were announced by the elections committee at a meeting of the All-Student Council in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building last night.
Eight women and one man will be elected from District I, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, according to the report. Two men will be elected from District II, the School of Engineering and Architecture; three women will be elected from District III which includes the School of Fine Arts, Education, Pharmacy, and Business and the Graduate School; and one man will be elected from District IV, the Schools of Law and Medicine.
Women in Districts II and IV will run for office and vote in District III, according to the report. Men in District III will run for office and vote in district IV.
The creation of six election boards was also announced.
Lieutenant O'Hara Is on Leave
Lt. T. R. O'Hara, executive officer of the University Naval Training School, is on a seven-day leave to his home in Olyphant, Pa. He will return to the training school next Monday.

Letter to the Editor
A new interest in student government has been developing on the campus and with the approach of a general election has brought many questions into the minds of the hill politicians. Chief among these is the question of whether or not the Navy shall be allowed to vote in the men's election.
To one who was a former student and is now a member of the Navy this question is absurd.
The constitution of the All Student Council says "This Association shall be composed of all students regularly enrolled at the University of Kansas. No regularly enrolled student of the University shall in a discriminatory manner, be denied the privileges of membership."
Are Navy men regularly enrolled students of the University? Regularly enrolled is defined to be "any student enrolled in twelve or more hours of residence work at the university." The Navy men are in residence here! They are all enrolled in at least seventeen hours of work!
Why then has there been an attempt on the part of the party in power to block Navy participation in student government?
They have been willing to have us represent the student body as a football team, a basketball team, a track team, be elected to the honorary societies and participate in all extra-curricular activities, but they are now, three weeks before the election, of the opinion that we are not members of the regular student body.
The purpose of the student association is, " (a) To unite in a single self governing body the students of the University of Kansas and to promote and regulate their extra-curricular activities." We are in every phase of men's extra-curricular activities and in many cases we are that activity. As I have shown you, we are students of the University but to further support and quote from the "Summer Session Kansan," June 8, 1943. "V-12 students will have the same privileges of regular University students, as they may take part in athletic and other University activities which do not conflict with their studies."
But, yet, they say we cannot vote because we do not pay an activity fee and because we are not free agents but are subject to Navy jurisdiction.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Added Apepal—When the Hollywood WAC show descended upon us over the weekend, one of the first requests was for several articles of furniture to be used in Sunday night's production. Miller hall, out of the goodness of its heart, responded immediately, and offered nearly all of the hall furnishings to the group of stars. Perhaps the girls might have dreamed of the possible glory of watching Lon McAllister sitting on one of their chairs, but not in their wildest fits of fancy did they dream the actor would demonstrate the fine points "de amour" in their love seat.
Now the sette is back in the Miller parlor, and Shirley Kelley is hard at work on a sign of explanation—"Lon McAllister Made Love here."
Next?
The Call of Duty—Fi Phi's grand president paid the chapter here a visit last week. The meeting in her honor was duly proper. The gathering became quiet—the G.P. rose to begin her talk—and the phone rang. Pat Williams, who was nearest the disturbing element, picked up the
- - receiver to hear a masculine voice ask, "Is Pat Williams there."
Is this what the constitution guaranteed students or is this a discriminatory attempt to deny five hundred University students of their right to vote?
Wallace Grimes, A/S
Dutifully Pat told the voice, "I'm sorry, she's in meeting now. Would you call back later?"
Are these two points the evidence to bar Navy men from voting or are they the excuses of the majority party to prevent the Navy from voting? Sinceely Yours.
Nowhere in the rules governing the right to vote has a prerequisite of an activity fee been given, nowhere have we been told to cast off our obligations to others and give ourselves over to the complete jurisdiction of a student government. Because we must obey, not only University regulations but also Navy regulations is not reason enough to deprive a man of his right to vote.
(Ed. note: Eldon Means, Pat's ATO steady had left for the west coast with the V-5's a few days earlier).
Just a tip, fellows. Next time trace the call. It isn't often the colonel calls from the Kapna house.
And could you tell us, Miss Williams, what the meeting was about?
Oh, the Cruelty of It All—A good game of—ah, dominoes had progressed well into the heated stages Saturday night, when Maurice Jewell answered the Barracks 'B' phone to hear the well-known voice of an equally well known colonel on the other end. The officer asked, in proper military form, if it would be possible for the medics to send in an overdue report at once. Jewell, caught off guard, stammered some explanation and promised immediate results. The game was forgotten, and the work done before the Army discovered they had been the victim of an imposter.
Anne Nettles Begins Air WAC Training
Anne Nettels, a former member of the department of journalism and a graduate of the University in 1942, left Kansas City last Wednesday to begin her basic training with the Air WAC at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa. After six weeks training in Iowa, Pvt. Nettles will be sent to any army air base.
While a student at the University, Pvt. Nettels was a member of the Quack Club, Tau Sigma and Theta Sigma Phi. She was secretary and historian of Pi Beta Phi. She was also a member of the staffs of the Daily Kansan and the Jayhawker.
Prior to her enlistment in the WAC, Pvt. Nettels was an employee of North American Aviation Company in Kansas City.

Washington, (INS)—Red Cross of officials said Monday that willingness of Japan to accept relief supplies and mail for American war prisoners will result in the release of 1500 tons of food and medical supplies which have accumulated at Vladivostok. Food and medical stock have been sent from time to time to the Russian port, but to date have not gone any further because of the refusal of the Japanese government to permit further transportation to areas where they could be obtained by imprisoned Americans.

What does anyone say when he sees an Arrow Tie? He says, "It's swell!"—For several reasons. Arrows are good-looking, in smart patterns and neat stripes. Arrows are made well, with a special lining cut on the bias to resist wrinkles, and to see that they make perfect knots. Arrows are made of fine fabrics—wear longer.

Trackmen to Meet Iowa Cyclones There in Dual Meet
The University of Kansas Jayhawks journey to Ames, Iowa, Saturday for a dual meet with the Iowa State Cyclones. The Cyclones won first place in the Big Six indoor meet, while Kansas placed third.
Iowa State lost a close dual meet with the Iowa Seahawks, one of the strongest track teams in the Middle West, which shows the strength of the Cyclone squad. The Cyclones will probably be rated as favorites in the Big Six meet to be held in Lincoln, Nebr., May 20. Further observations of the strength of both teams can be obtained when the results of the meet are in.

Intramural Matches Resumed This Week
Handball, tennis, horseshoes, and golf matches are scheduled to begin this week, as men's intramural competition is resumed after a week's layoff. Intramural manager George Dick announced that from 30 to 45 entries have been received for each sport.
The brackets now being drawn up allow a set period of days for each match, with contestants being expected to make arrangements to play within that time. Dick declared that unless a reasonable attempt was made to hold the contest, it would be scratched. He also requested that intramural players notify the intramural office of any impossibility of playing in the scheduled time, and that results be left in the intramural box in Robinson Gymnasium.
Tentative plans are being made for an intramural track meet on May 20. This was originally scheduled for last month, but weather conditions made it impossible. Softball will start in the latter part of this month.

Promontory Point ...
The Union Pacific struggled through lean and troubled years but, like other pioneers, it had faith in America's future. Edward H. Harriman had unbounded faith in America. His guiding genius—and the faith of the leaders "from the ranks" who followed him, gave strength and vigor to the railroad.
in Utah, was the scene of a history-making event on May 10, 1869—the realization of a great American's dream. It was Abraham Lincoln who visualized the vital need for uniting, by rail, the East with the Pacific Coast, and who authorized the building of a transcontinental railroad.
America always has offered unlimited opportunity and ample reward as an incentive for hard work and individual enterprise. That's why it's such a great country. It's our job to keep it that way.

This year marks the 75th Anniversary—the Diamond Jubilee—of the driving of the Golden Spike, the completion of "The Strategic Middle Route." Union Pacific commemorates that historic occasion by continuing to exert every effort in the transportation of materials and troops so that victory and peace may soon be ours.

Nazi Weakening From Sky Blows Stimson Reveals
Secretary of war Henry L. Stimson revealed today that Nazi resistance is "falling behind" under the pressure of the continuing sky blows."
Other American airmen operating in the Pacific and the Far East were credited by the secretary of war with the destruction of 4,887 planes in aerial combat and on the ground since the start of the war. Against this total American plane losses were placed at 1,414 including those destroyed in the original Japanese onslaughts against Hawaii and the Phillippines.
Sole bad news coming from Stimson was his announcement of total casualty figures to date. These were placed at 156,676 including killed, wounded, missing, and captured.
Bomb Capital Areas
As he spoke, American and Allied airmen were out in force over Hitler Europe for the twenty-fifth consecutive day, bombing coastal installations, communication lines, and other strategic targets. During the night RAF bombers based in Britain teamed once more with the Mediterranean air force to pound France, Belgium, Germany and Budapest.
Rescue 707 Prisoners
A Burma dispatch quoted an official estimate to the effect that 15,000 Japanese have been killed by Chindits in recent fighting throughout the Arakan, Imphal and Kohina sectors. The Allied force corps Simultaneously was credited by headquarters at Kandy, Ceylon with slaying 6,100 or more enemy troops in the last two months. Rescue 707 Prisoners
In the southwest Pacific American troops rescued 707 prisoners formerly in Japanese hands and used for forced labor. Crucifixion and other atrocities were charged to the Nipponese by some of the rescued men.

Digging wasn't done as enthusiastically this year as it has been in years past, reported Betty Jo O'Neal, Jay James chairman. Students turned out in large groups and went to the plots assigned to them. Then they sat down and talked. Miss O'Neal accredited the change in spirit to the present difficulty in obtaining digging implements.
Buffet tables in Fowler Grove were mobbed at 6 o'clock when the picnic supper began. Students ate on the grass, talked, and played games until the street dance began
Held from 8:30 until 10:30, the street dance was an appropriate climax to the day. The street in front of Blake hall was jammed with dancers and the curbing was lined with couples "sitting out." Roger Muir and his 12-piece band evoked enthusiastic student approval.
Miss O'Neal said the day was considered a success in spite of the relatively small number of dandelions actually pulled up by the roots. Its success was based on the fact, she said, that "so many students attended and everyone seemed to have such a hilarious time."
Bridge Finals To Be Tonight
Eight couples will participate in the finals of the bridge tournament, sponsored by the Union Activities committee, at 7:30 tonight in the Union lounge. These couples won high scores in the first rounds of the tournament played last week.
The winning teams are: Jean Fergus and Nancy Brown; Sue Hamel and Faye Elledge; Sally Fitzpatrick and Jane Miller; Mary Tudor Hanna and Mary Lou Shinkle; Marilyn Maloney and Vera Margaret Hurt; Nancy Tomlinson and Joanne Wagstaff; Virginia Schaefer and Betty Bredow; Virginia Brehm and Anne Louise Rossman.
According to Emily Stacey, chairman of the Union intramural committee, prizes for the winning couple will not be announced until after the tournament.
A collection exchange has been made by the department of entomology at the University and the Natural History Survey at the University of Illinois. By this exchange the University obtained 90 different kinds of plant bugs or mirids, and the Illinois collection gained various specimens of Cicadae.
'Bug' Department Trades With Illinois U.
The department of entomology at the University of Kansas is known to have the second best collection of Cicadae in the United States. The exchange was made in order to gain more information about the mirid species which have become numerous in this part of the country and are extremely harmful to vegetation.

Forrestal Nominated To Succeed Knox
KU Women Sing On Early Morning Local Radio Program
Washington, (INS)—Senate confirmation of the nomination of under-secretary of James V. Forrestal for promotion to secretary of the navy to succeed the late Frank Knox was virtually assured today.
University women's organized houses have been rising early in the morning for the past week and a half, and it has not been because of the long awaited arrival of spring weather.
Judging by the response by mail and telephone calls and by the estimate of the sponsors, several of the winning competitors will be rewarded by being featured on a 15-minute radio program in the evening soon.
War Casualties
The Early Morning Timekeeper's program, sponsored by WREN radio station, added a special feature to their program beginning on Monday, May 1, by asking each organized house on the Hill to send a representative to sing on their program at 7:15 in the morning.
A canvass of the senate naval affairs committee to which the nomination was referred indicated a favorable unanimous report. The committee will meet Monday to act upon it.

ASC Rescinds Yesterday's Ruling To Give Two-Man Representation
Choir to Sing 14 Selections
The A Cappella Choir will present a concert of 14 selections of sacred chorals, madrigals, and folk songs in its final recital appearance of the year at 8 Monday night in Hoch auditorium. Dean D. M. Swarthownt, director of the choir and dean of the School of Fine Arts, has announced that the public is invited to attend the concert.
In the final group the choir has been asked to change rather drastically its tonal color in favor of the mountaineers' nasal twang in the Arkansas folk song "The Weak and Rambling One."
The 77 singers will include among their number the great "Song of Praise" (Heinrich Schutz) written for two separate choirs singing against each other in eight-part writing; three Russian numbers from Rachmaninoff, Kopylow, and Nikolsky; and "Come Shepherds, Follow Me" (John Bennett) written in 1599 to honor Queen Elizabeth. Highlights on the program will be "Hosanna" and "Exaltation," both numbers by F. Melius Christiansen.
Closing the program will be two arrangements of Noble Cain, "O Susanna" and "The Glory Train."
Thirteen Ex-Students Graduated as Pilots
The AAF Training Command recently announced the graduation of another class of fighter and bomber pilots from its eleven advanced schools of the central flying training command. Among the new pilots are 13 former students of the University
They include 2nd Lts. Richard P. Carmean, Carthage, Mo., and Marion C. Kelly, Scandia, students from 1941 - 1943; graduated at Aloe Field; 2nd Lts. Robert W. Brass, Wilmore, student in 1937-1938; Carl M. Bomhoff, Cheney, student from 1941 to 1943; Harry W. Davis, Jr., Hutchinson, student in 1942-1943; and Lloyd J.

- Men in the armed forces at the University will vote at the same polls and have the same voting rights as civilian students at the All-Student Council general election on May 25, according to action taken by the council at noon in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
A resolution, introduced by members of PWCL and PSGL, was passed by the council, providing that yesterday's motion limiting the armed forces to two representatives elected at a separate election be rescinded. The resolution also stated that the elections committee be instructed to correct the proportion of representatives in the various districts in accordance with the army and navy voters thus provided for.
Dostoyevsky, Russian novelist who deals with the abnormal, has portrayed the mental and moral disintegration which follows the act of violence in his masterpiece, "Crime and Punishment." This work in psycho-analysis has been filmed many times, but in the French version by Pierre Chenal, to be shown in Fraser theater tonight with English titles, it finds its most effective and gripping form, according to Joy Miller, chairman.
A discussion before the second resolution passed this noon, indicated that the additional action was taken by the council as a means of further co-operation with the members of the armed forces.
Pierre Blanchar and Harry Baur, great French actors, are cast as the student Raskolnikov and the police inspector. The musical background was written by Arthur Honegger.
Petitions were also presented at the special meeting by Pachacamac men's political party placing Gordon Stucker on the council as a regular representative and Wallace Grimes, on the council as the representative of the Inter-fraternity council. Both petitions were accepted, and the new members were sworn in by the president, Peggy Davis.

Letter to the Editor Student Charges Monopoly in K.U. Politics by PSGL
(Editor's Note: The following letter, written by a University student, concerning the unfair voting privileges of the local army and navy units was received and set in type before the action announced on the front page was taken by the All Student Council. Doubtlessly, knowledge by the ASC leaders that the letter was to be printed motivated the council to take the action.)
Dear Editor:
What literally amounts to the PSGL men's political party, now controlling a majority of votes in the All Student Council, voting to defranchise their rival political party, the Pachacamac, is seen in the ASC ruling that men stationed on the campus with the armed forces do not have equal voting privileges with civilian men students.
The PSGL party, outnumbering the Pachacamac party on the ASC by a small margin, voted yesterday to limit the armed forces of the University to only two representatives on the council. Obviously the members of the armed forces, especially the V-12 trainees, make up the greater portion of the power of the Pachacamac party. If the ASC resolution is allowed to stand, the University will have only one active men's political party—a virtual monopoly in K.U. men's politics. The PSGL party must suppress or control the military vote in order to maintain a majority of the seats on the student council.
The PSGL political party includes in its membership the greater percentage of civilian men now enrolled in the University. Pachacamac is, ordinarily, equally as powerful a group but made up primarily of organized fraternity houses. Due to a large number of the Pachacamac men entering the army and navy units now stationed on the Hill, this latter political organization was weakened in the number of civilian student votes.
It is plain where the Pachacamac party stands if its members, consisting of military and civilian men alike, is to be split into two distinct groups—namely the "armed forces (V-12s and army personnel)" and the civilian men remaining to the Pachacamac party. The group, so divided, is powerless.
It is almost a work of genius on the part of the framers of the ASC (majority PSGL) when seeing they were to be forced to give the armed forces on the Hill a vote in student politics, to segregate the army and navy as a separate voting unit. This act eliminates any possible threat to the present membership superiority of the PSGL party.
It should go without saying that the members of the army and navy trainees stationed at the University, since they definitely are members of the student body, should have the same right to cast their ballots, to hold student legislative offices, and to belong to a political party of their choosing that any other member of the student body has.
For responsible University officials—those officials who have the power to govern the actions of the All Student Council—to sit silently by and allow the PSGL party to vote away the right of the opposing party, Pachacamac, to vote as an organized group is nothing less than disregard for clean student politics!
Sincerely yours,
Hugh Bayles

Rock Chalk Talk
By LIZ BAKER
Shall we say, "See Here, Private Hargrove"? Don Wyman is from Hutchinson, Reno county, Kansas. He is also, as of Saturday, V-12 Wyman. Over a week ago Don decided that the time had come for him to be officially sworn into the U.S. Navy. "Till he be gone just over the weekend," he remarked to Sigma Chi brothers and with a happy smile departed for Reno county.
Wyman carried his V-12 acceptance papers, but to get government transportation to Leavenworth, he had to volunteer and board the train Sunday night with the Reno draftees.
Monday afternoon arrived, as did Leavenworth. Wyman got up, yawned, and walked down the platform carrying his credentials stating "The Navy desires no further physical or mental examination for this man." Cornering the nearest GI Joe, he asked where he could find the nearest General because he wanted to get to Kansas City and become an official V-12. "Hey," replied the Joe, "you gotta wait until tomorrow for that."
So Wyman, along with the rest of Reno county, was placed in the barracks and put to bed, but not for long. At 4:30 the next morning they were up. They washed out the barracks. They made up the bunks and, at a kindly suggestion from a menacing sergeant, added hospital quarters. Then came chow. After mess they returned to the barracks and
were told to take the sheets off the bunks and stack them in piles of 50. As official sheet carrier, Wyman lugged the bundle over to the charge of quarters. And there he learned: the sheets had to be recounted.
Part of his company marched past. Wyman counted sheets. The rest of his company marched by. Wyman counted on. Through at last, he rushed madly to headquarters to rejoin his company. They were waiting.
Firty-five minutes later a Gr walked in, roared. "Any questions?" Wyman, hopeful, asked, "What about V-12, sir?"" "Oh that—you gotta wait awhile but," and with a leer, "we'll get you . . ." And then the little man called for Aviation Cadets and after that, ASTPs. A few dribbled out of the room. But no V-12. The little man called counties. Sedgwick, Barton, Douglas, Harvey, Reno! Volunteers first. And Wyman was hustled through the army induction physical. Wyman didn't quite comprehend, but thought he should oblige. V-12's, he learned, would wait for the results on the test which would come in either that afternoon or the next day. (They came in the next day.)
Wednesday am., this time at 5 o'clock, the boys got up, and resorted to pool for the day's recreation. (One catches on to this goldbricking rather quickly). In the af-

Can You Picture KANSAS without Highways?
A strange place our state would be — if our thousands of miles of improved highways suddenly ceased to exist.
We take for granted the convenience of our excellent roads—but highways don't just grow. For them we can thank our state government, particularly our State Highway Commission, as well as yourselves—the taxpayers.
Many communities would be isolated. Think of a state without trucks; or without cars or buses taking workers to war plants and farms; soldiers to camp or home; business travelers to their jobs; children to school.
As fellow citizens, Overland Greyhound Lines have gladly paid substantial license, fuel and operating taxes. Our greatest service however, is in putting the highways to work for all who must travel, making good neighbors of all the communities we serve in this state.

termoon the results came through.
The physical test was OK. Wyman went upstairs and was assigned to the Navy.
Now the only thing left to do was the thing Wyman had started out to do: he must be sworn in at Kansas City. In order to get transportation, he would have to wait another day. Thursday dawned, and found a tired V-12 hopefully on his way to the great city. He went to headquarters. He waited. Thursday morning, Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon he waited. The kid had arrived.
And then at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, in came some officers. "Now," they said, "everybody who hasn't been sworn in will now take the oath." And they rushed through the building grabbing likely prospects. They read the list of names. The sworn-to-be-inners stood and stretched. Glazed-faced Wyman sat
Gazed-faced Wyman sat.
The officers looked down, saw the seated and lonely boy, and remarked, "What the (we pause) are you doing here?" Convinced finally that here was a good candidate, the limp warm hand of congratulation was given.

And so our story reaches its conclusion. Don Wyman is now on the INACTIVE DUTY LIST for V-12 until July 1.

Capt. Hardy Sends More Bugs To K.U.
Several more boxes of interesting insects have been sent to the University department of entomology by Capt. D. Elmo Hardy, '41.
A letter from the Division of Insect Identification in Washington shows that the specimens are of great interest to noted entomologists and that they will do much toward broadening the knowledge of fauna in India. Because Captain Hardy has had difficulty in finding containers for the insects, vials, tubes, and pins have been sent to him to that he may further his collection and send them to the United States.
Captain Hardy has contributed over 200,000 insect specimens to the University's collection at Snow hall. He is now serving as a wing malariaologist with the Sanitary Corps in India. Captain Hardy received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University in June, 1941.
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Track at the University of Kansas is experiencing one of its best seasons in years. The Jayhawkers ran away from their opponents in the triangular meet held here last Saturday. Kansas State and Nebraska, to be sure, have little material from which to choose competitors, and what is available isn't too potent. But the times and distances being made this season in any of the Big Six schools generally are not too good, as is this case all over the country. It is proved by the Drake Relays, which annually is one of the largest meets in the mid-west, but this season had very few records threatened.
So far this season the Jayhawks under Ray Kanehl have won third in Big Six indoor meet, won a couple of triangular meets, and generally have been a threat in any event they have participated in. The caliber of surrounding track teams may not be as high as prewar, but the Jayhawks have been hurt as much as the others with the possible exception of Kansas State and Nebraska. Scofield and Stannard were the only letter winners back, and these two have kept up their steady form to lead the inexperienced Jayhawks. Coach Kanehl, in his first year as a college mentor, has done a fine job. Kanehl was formerly track coach and athletic director at Wichita East where his track teams were always one of the strongest in any meet. They won the state Class A title last year. Kanehl knows his track, and given plenty of good Kansas high school athletes when the war is over he could make Kansas a track power in the mid-west.
As it is Mt. Oread is already proud of its thin-clads and has the utmost confidence that they will make things exceedingly hot for Oklahoma and Iowa State at the Big Six track and field meet, May 20 in Lincoln.
A rather unusual as well as unfortunate accident occurred in the track meet Saturday. Stannard was leading in the high hurdles when he tripped on the next to the last barrier and took a hard spill landing flat on the track. At the same time Patterson, Kansas, got a foot on the third from the last hurdle and also took a hard fall. The next instant

Stannard was handicapped considerably by the fall as he was unable to obtain his true form in the low hurdles and in the mile relay . . . Jim Richey, fast-stepping quarter-miler, was bothered by a sore knee and ran only in the 440, but he was still able to step off the fast time of 51 flat to win second behind Kratz of Nebraska.
Traveling far from the University campus, John Robert Fluker, named 1942 honor man in the honors convocation last year, is now teaching economics in a university at Kabul, Afghanistan, according to his wife, Mrs. Helen Fluker, assistant in the University news bureau.
1942 Honor Man Now in Afghanistan
A graduate of the School of Business with a major in economics, Fluker left for his new position the last of January of this year. As mail, which is taken out of that country only every two weeks, is exceedingly slow, his wife has received only two letters from him since he arrived. In both of these however, "Bob" stated that he liked the country very much and found the customs of the people interesting. He expects to be there for at least another year and a half.
While attending the University, Fluker, who was a Summerfield Scholar, was elected co-ordinator of the co-op houses on the campus. A star football player for three years, he was chosen on the mythical all-Big-Six eleven during his senior year, and was also on the committee for the senior class memorial gift.
Because of his exceptionally high scholastic average for the four years, as well as the outstanding qualities of leadership, character, and service to the University which he exhibited. Fluker was selected as the outstanding senior of his class and was named as honor man in the annual honors convocation held last spring. Before going to Afghanistan he took several months of graduate work at Princeton University.

Madame Chiang Asks US Lead In World League
Chicago, (INS)—Madame Chiang Kai-shek called upon American today to "fulfill her duties as a leader of humanity" by taking leadership in "forging the weapons of peace" through creation of a world organization before the war ends.
"We should now be studying the nature of this organization so that when it is born it shall not repeat the tragic blunders of the past. If we leave this task until after the war we are likely to make the mistakes which were made before."
Madame Chiang's plea was made on the occasion of her acceptance of the first annual "award of merit" presented by the American Alumni Council to an outstanding graduate.
In Madame Chiang Kai-shek's parlor will hang the signature of Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the University Alumni Association and member and chairman of district six of the American Alumni Council.
Fred Ellsworth Signs Chiang Honor Scroll
Mr. Ellsworth left Tuesday night for Chicago where the annual national meeting of the AAC will be held. This year, for the first time, the organization is giving an award to the student of some American or Canadian college or university who has exhibited in his or her life the spirit and capacity for service that an education should give. For this honor, the selecting committee, of which Mr. Ellsworth was a member, has chosen a 1917 graduate of Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Madame Chiang Kai-shek, who was also an undergraduate of Georgia Wesleyan. She will make an acceptance speech from Chunking on an international broadcast Saturday.
A sheepskin scroll with the gold seal of the Council will be sent her. On this scroll is Mr. Ellsworth's signature.
Mr. Ellsworth expects to return Saturday. With this meeting his term as chairman of district six will expire.
Dies Will Not Run For Congress Again
Geology Summer Field Camp In Colorado Open to Students
Beaumont, (INS) — Congressman Martin Dies, head of the Dies committee which has investigated many charges of un-Americanism announced today that he was not seeking re-election. He said he will retire from public life at the end of his present term. He has represented the second Texas congressional district for 14 years. The congressman said his decision was influenced by poor health and his desire to reenter private practice of law and to pave the way in business life for his son.
Field work at the University of Kansas Geology Field Camp at Garden Park, Colo. will be offered to University students again this summer, according to Dr. L. R. Laudon, who will be in charge of the course. The camp will be held from July 10 until August 12, the geology professor announced. The specific course offered during that time will be the beginning course in field geology, Geology 159.
The course is available to any student who has credit in a beginning course in geology (Geology 1 or E) and has junior, senior, or graduate standing, Dr. Laudon said. Upon the presentation of a satisfactory field report by November 15, 1944, five hours credit will be given for the summer work.
Carroll to Pick Beauty Queens
Earl Carroll, Hollywood authority on beauty, is acting as the final judge in the Jayhawker Beauty queen contest, Mary Morrill editor of the magazine, has announced.
Garden Park, site of the University Field Camp, is in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies about ten miles north of Canyon City and about 15 miles southeast of the famous Cripple Creek mining camp. The camp is located in a valley carved into a faulted syncline tributary to the Canyon City embayment. According to Dr. Laudon, an unusually complete section of rocks ranging from Pre-Cambrian to Cretaceous is exposed in the area.
Famous for his theater restaurant with the well-known slogan "Through these portals pass the most beautiful girls in the world" over its doors, Mr. Carroll has the pictures of 29 University women, in his Hollywood office now. After selecting five of the 29 for full page pictures in the Jayhawker and naming seven runners-up in the contest, he will return the photographs to Lawrence.
In addition to the photographs, Mr Carroll requested that each contestant fill out a chart which he furnished, giving her measurements, coloring, etc. According to the Hollywood judge, these facts will help him in judging the contestants accurately.
The 29 women who were photographed for final judging by Mr. Carroll, were selected from a group of 60 at a Jayhawker tea several weeks ago. They were selected by a group of University men.
The field was originally narrowed down to 60 by the same committee men who made their first selections from over 200 pictures entered in the contest.
Announcement of the winners in the contest will not be made, said Miss Morrill, until the Jayhawker appears June 15.
If transportation can be arranged, trips will be taken to all points of geologic interest in the area, Dr. Laudon said. According to present plans, trips will be made to the Mt. Capulin volcanic district, Spanish Peaks, Great Sand Dune National

Finals Were Over Year Ago Today
Twelve months ago today, University students were in the last throes of finals. May 12 was officially listed as the last day of final week, although some had already finished and departed bag and baggage for home.
Starting two weeks earlier than they had in 1942, finals began on Saturday, May 8, and were over the following Wednesday.
Although sophomore medies will be taking finals next week before leaving for the University hospitals in Kansas City May 20, finales are still six weeks away for most students. It's definitely spring, and one's fancy lightly doesn't turn to thoughts of books.
The Recreational Training Institute being sponsored by the physical education department from May 16 to May 20 has attracted wide interest in the surrounding territory, letters being received daily indicate
The week previous had seen an intensified cramming session going on in every fraternity (they still existed in royal form then), sorority, and organized house.

Destroy Gustav Line; Rip Communications
(International News Service)
Behind devastating artillery barrage and under protection of aerial cover Allied forces charged forward against the Nazi-Italian line today in a sudden full-scale offensive.
Naples reported that enemy gun positions at the concrete reinforced Gustav line were knocked out by Allied war planes a few hours after the offensive started.
The blow in which British, Polish, French, American, and Dominion troops participated was begun by an artillery barrage at 11 o'clock last night which outstripped even the historic barrage which paved the way for Nazi defeat at El Alamein.
Then long range war planes hit Nazi positions ripping their communications and blasting a wider route to be followed by the infantrymort.
The Germans claimed assaults were repulsed, but dispatches indicated that the offensive was grinding ahead on schedule.
Targets deep inside Germany and former, Czeckoslovakia were hit by 2000 American heavy bomber and fighters, which concentrated against four major synthetic oil plants and an oil refinery.
Another 1,500 daylight raiders hit other objectives on the comment for the twenty-sixth straight day from the British isles.
The Japanese base at Truk caught it again from bombers of the southwest Pacific just 12 hours after being blasted by war planes from the central Pacific theater.
Kansan to Be Neutral On Political Questions
Neutrality in politics, both on and off the campus, and impartiality among organizations and students and faculty groups as stated in the University Daily Kansan constitution, was reaffirmed as Kansan policy by members of the Kansan Board, official governing body of the paper, in a meeting yesterday afternoon.
Criticisms of organizations and groups, and even of the administration are not denied, but they should be from an unprejudiced point of view, the Kansas Board decided.
Hanna Hedrick, College junior was elected assistant managing editor of the Kansan. Jacqueline Nodler, College junior, and former assistant managing editor, will take over the position of managing editor beginning Monday, replacing Virginia Gunsolly, College senior, who has been managing editor for the past nine weeks.

Art Exhibit Has Work Of Kansan
The paintings of Grace Bliss Stewart, of New York, are featured in the May art exhibit at Spooner-Thayer museum. Mrs. Stewart was born in Atchison, Kan., and during the past ten years has traveled extensively. She now lives in New York City.
Her paintings have been sent on traveling exhibitions by the American Federation of Arts, the Cayuga Museum of Art, and the Dayton Art Institute. In 1937 she was one of twenty artists invited to exhibit at the International Exhibition in Toronto, Canada.
Mrs. Stewart has held six New York one-man shows. The New York Times remarked of her paintings, "Poetically treated realism, no mere representation; her painting is individual, even distinguished." The Art News states that "her landscapes are always individually constructed, and the color is both vigorous and reserved."

In order to create greater interest in the University home economics department and to secure a list of prospective students, approximately 1,000 illustrated bulletins from the department have been published under the direction of Prof. Edna A. Hill and sent to home economics teachers, principals and superintendents of Kansas schools.
The booklet expresses the philosophy of the department, its functions, lists the courses offered and reveals some of the vocational opportunities made available by these courses.
Students of the home economics department posed for the photographs which illustrate the work done in the department and the facilities available. Most of the photography was done by the University Photographic bureau.
Missouri Wins Controversy Over Land in Supreme Court

The controversy involved land at Forbes Bend which lies between Doniphan county Kansas and Holt county Missouri.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
That Certain "Come On" - Marylou Regier, the one they call Rigor, was heading for home at Kappa Alpha Theta when she realized she was being followed at a not-too-far-back-for-efficiency distance by an eligible one from PT-6. Undaunted by the steepness of the hill, Rigor began a stately descent, guaranteed to attract anything within a radius of 50 feet.
Half way up, worse came to worst,
Turning her ankle, she did a 3-
pointer, with books and skirt flying
in opposite directions—both wrong.
Gallantly Seaman PT-6 picked her
up and dusted her off. The victim
mumbled feeble thanks.
Well, anyway, it worked.
Slight Miscalculation—Spring has come with the birds and the bees—and the tadpoles. Dona Burkhead and Ernestine Shears set out Tuesday in search of the pre-frogs. It took more than an hour of careful manipulation before they could return to the Chi Omega house with their properly-aired, correctly-lighted bottle full of the species, bitched only moments before.
Somewhere along the line the experts made a slight miscalculation. After consulting all the authorities, the verdict was handed down that the contents of the bottle were not infant tadpoles, but mosquitoes.
Chi O sisters assisted in the immediate disposal of the specimens.
Life's Little Embarrassments Joan Harris, Sigma Kappa, played hostess recently to an aviation cadet friend from the Olathe base. While visiting at the University, said friend stayed with the Navy fliers at the old Phi Fsi house.
楷 容 静
A big weekend had ended, and the flier had returned home when Jo received an SOS to hustle over to the barracks and rescue a ring left by her guest. Though not too happy over the idea of paying the Navy such a social visit, Jo decided it was "now or never," and started for the Phi Psi house. Sure enough, she guessed it exactly wrong, and as she mounted the steps, she met the entire fleet coming out. Minutes later, with the ring in her possession, Jo returned to find that the air corps had obediently lined up on the sidewalk so she could march directly in front of the squad.

KU, Iowa State Meet Important
The University of Kansas track team will leave at 6:50 tonight for Ames, Iowa, for their dual meet with the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow.
Coach Ray Kanehl will take 15 men to the "tall corn state" in hope of giving the powerful Cyclones a close battle. The Iowa school won the Big Six conference indoor meet and received additional help when the basketball season ended as several members of the cage squad are doing equally as well in the spring sport.
The Jayhawkers will be without the services of Tom Scofield, ace high jumper, who will be unable to make the trip, but Coach Kanehl said this morning that the team was going to Ames with the idea of "giving their all."
The way the men from Mt. Oread perform tomorrow will furnish good food for thought as to how their chances are in the Big Six meet next Saturday at Lincoln, as the Cyclones are rated as the best team in the conference at the present time.
NOBLE CAIN--in "SPITFIRE"
(continued from page one) as considered by Mr. Cain are tone, technique, text, test, teaching, and truth. He especially emphasized the importance of the words of a song, because it is necessary in war time more than ever to convey the thought or message. Related to the text of the song was the sincerity of the singer, for it is in singing with sincerity that songs become a part of one.

V-12 Unit to Have 25 Per Cent Cut In November
An over-all reduction of 25 per cent in the enrollment of 70,000 students under the Navy's V-12 program on Nov. 1 was announced Friday by Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs, chief of naval personnel.
No college training unit will be eliminated entirely, Admiral Jacobs told representatives of educational institutions at the V-12 conference at Columbia University, unless the school requests or requires such an action because of inability to fulfill the Navy contract. No unit will be decreased below a minimum 250.
Present quotas of V-12 students will be maintained at the 131 colleges and universities offering V-12 training during the July 1-Nov. 1 term, according to Admiral Jacobs. The program will continue so long as the Navy needs additional young officers to fight the war, he said. The size of the program in the future will depend on the magnitude of the need.
Since the opening of the Navy college program on July 1, 1943, more than 23,000 men have been trained as officer candidates. Five hundred V-12 students enrolled at the University last summer; approximately 300 are enrolled this semester.
In his address to the educational representatives, Admiral Jacobs reported on officer candidates who have seen active service. He indicated that the Navy would continue to bring back men from overseas service and place them in training programs. He praised the work of the V-12 program and predicted that it would affect American education for a long time.
Physical Education Institute Begins Programs Tomorrow
A committee to work out programs for the Wartime Recreational Training Institute, offered by the National Recreational Association of America and sponsored by the University department of physical education and to plan a beneficial course according to the needs of the list of registrants, will meet at 4 this afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. The committee is composed of members of the physical education department; Miss Barbara Jewett, instructor of design and representative of the occupational therapy department; two representatives of the Lawrence recreational committees; and Mrs. Anne Livingston, who, with Pat Rooney, will instruct in the institute. They are from the National Recreational Association of America of New York City.
It has been estimated that 125 will attend the institute which begins tomorrow and will continue until Saturday, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, said.
Beginning tomorrow, sessions will be held during the week days, from 8 to 10 p.m. up to and including May 19. Saturday there will be a morning session from 10 to 12. The closing session will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday. All sessions will be (continued to page four)
Dog Life To Be Tough For 40 Days
Strange as it may seem, the "campus dogs" have almost disappeared.
Strange as it may seem, the "campus dogs" have almost disappeared. A 40-day quarantine has been placed on all dogs in the county as a precautionary measure against the spread of rabies. Will J. Miller, state livestock sanitary commissioner, issued the quarantine last Tuesday. Red quarantine signs have been posted on the campus and beginning today, all dogs running loose will be shot by the police in accordance with the order.
Members of the police department, according to the ordinance, are given the duty of picking up the dogs. Numerous calls have come in to the police station telling of dogs running loose and definite action will be taken today on all such dogs.
With this proclamation, an "integral" part of the campus scenery will be erased. Barking at the students, napping in the afternoon sun, and other such dog pleasures are now taboo for "man's best friend." The dog is now in the dog house.
A Cappella Gives Concert Tonight
At 8 tonight in Hoch auditorium the A Cappella Choir, under the direction of D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will present its spring concert.
The program will be given in four sections with a short intermission between the second and third groups. The opening group of four numbers will begin with "Alma Redemptoris Mater" (Palestrina), featuring Merton Anderson, Fine Arts freshman, as tenor soloist, and will follow with "Song of Praise" (Heinrich Schutz) "Art Thou With Me" (Bach), and "Brother James' Air" (Gordon Jacob).
The second section will be of Russian numbers with "Glory Be to God" (Rachmaninoff), "Heavenly Light" (Kopylow), and "The Earth Is the Lord's" (Nikolsky).
Following the intermission the choir will sing "Hosanna" (F. Melius Christiansen), "Come, Shepherds, Follow Me," (John Bennett), "The Blue Bird" (C. V. Stanford), and "Exaltation" (F. Melius Christian).
It is strongly advised that all students, on and off the campus, use extreme caution in approaching stray dogs about the city. Since the animal shot by local police officers last week has proved to have had rabies, and is known to have bitten at least five other dogs in the vicinity, it is possible for more rabid animals to be on the loose.
Warning!
Ushers for this evening's concerts will be Juanita Basinger, Martha Baxter, Beth Beamer, Frances Gulick, Donna Hempler, Marian Howell, Donna Nichols, and Frances Sartori.
The last group of numbers of the program will feature American folk songs and a Negro spiritual. These include the Arkansas folk song of "The Weak and Rambling One," Noble Cain's arrangement of Stephen Foster's "O Susanna," and the Negro spiritual "The Glory Train."
Newspapermen Plan White Memorial Here
Allies Trap Nazi Units In Italy
Allied troops attacking on the Italian front have scored a new triumph today by closing a steel trap on the important Ausente valley, west of Castelforte, cutting off important German units.
Dispatches reaching Naples in the wake of a communique announcing penetration of the Gustav line said that American and French troops of the fifth army have sprung the valley trap in a wide pincer movement.
The Moscow radio advising Europe that "titanic battles are approaching" called upon the peoples of Axis satellite countries to reyolt against Germany action must be taken now, Moscow warned. Tomorrow may be too late.
Professionals to Aid In Campus Production Of Hansel and Gretel
Meanwhile the Allied air offensive against fortressed Europe entered upon the thirty-first consecutive days with huge fleets of bombers plastering military installations throughout northern France and along the Pas de Calais invasion coast area. The entire network of French radio stations left the air.
This followed a substantial breach in the heavily defended Gustav line and advances by Allied spearheads to within five miles of the Adolf Hitler line, second Axis defense which must be breached before a direct assault on Rome.
The professional touch will not be lacking in the presentation of the fairy opera, Hansel and Gretel, which will be given May 21 and 22 by the School of Fine Arts. Aiding Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary music society, in its production are several faculty members who have had previous experience with the opera.
Stage director Allen Crafton, professor of speech, also aided in previous performances and is making the scenery. Mr. Crafton remarked that the first opera which he saw was a presentation of Hansel and Gretel.
Miss Jeannette Cass, assistant professor of music theory, who is singing the part of the Witch, has seen the opera given by the Metropolitan Opera company and by the San Carlo Opera company of Kansas City. Also she helped put it on at the University of Idaho.
Prof. Joseph Wilkins, who is musical director, helped in presenting the opera when it was last given at the University in 1937 and in 1938. He has also seen it performed by the Chicago Opera company and by other companies.

Foundation Will Give Awards Ask for New Journalism Building
"We thought at first of having a part of the money given out as scholarships, but later we gave up this idea and settled on the idea of prize awards," Mr. Rusco said. "We had in mind that the state erect a building especially for the school of journalism and that this building be named for William Allen White."
Annual Prizes Would Be Given To Journalists
Interviewed by the Daily Kansan this morning, Howard Rusco, secretary-manager of the Kansas Press Association, said that it was the desire of the committee of newspapermen meeting yesterday in Topeka that the William Allen White Memorial Endowment be used much as is the Pulitzer Endowment now. They would have prizes awarded each year for outstanding journalistic endeavor and have these awards made through the University department of journalism.
Edwin F. Abels, editor of the Outlook, told the Daily Kansan today that the committee was agreed that after $75,000 was raised for the White memorial fund through which the prizes for superior journalistic endeavors would be rewarded, attention would be turned to getting a new journalism building for the University which would be known as the William Allen White Memorial building and then to establishing a school of journalism. Journalism is now a department in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"We probably will not have a meeting of the committee until sometime in June," said Mr. Abels. "Just what will be done will be left to the committee, but the group that met at Topeka Sunday was pretty much agreed on what it wanted."
Gunsolly Now Editor Of S.O.W. Newspaper
Miss Virginia Gunsolly, managing editor of the University Daily Kansas for the past nine weeks and senior in the department of journalism, has accepted a position as editor of the Hercules Powder Company's plant newspaper.
Beginning this afternoon, Miss Gunsolly will work part-time until school is out, then will take over her duties on a full-time basis. In addition to her job as editor of this weekly paper, The Sunflower Sentinel, Miss Gunsolly will write a good share of the news going into the paper, and will also write publicity stories for the plant to be distributed to other papers.
That the legislature and the Board of Regents will be asked to authorize construction of a new journalism building on the campus, was announced yesterday by a group of newspapermen who met in Topeke and took preliminary steps to establish and finance a William Allen White memorial foundation to encourage better journalism in Kansas.
The University was recognized as an important factor in training for journalism by the newspaper men as they set about to raise at lease $50,000 and possibly $100,000 to be used as a basis of the foundation from which awards for superior newspaper work will be made. The recommendation for the building came as an additional thought.
The journalism staff of the University was in complete ignorance of the plan of the newspaper men. Although it was known that a meeting to establish a foundation was arranged, it was not known that the recommendation to the legislature was being considered.
Attending the Topeka meeting yesterday were Representative F.B. Ross of Emporia; R. A. Clymer, El Dorado Timelion; Milton Tabor, Topeka Daily Capital; W. T. Beck, Holton Record; Oscar Stauffer, State Journal; Carl Rott, Winfield Courier; Ed F. Abels, Douglas County Outlook; John Redmond, Burlington Republican; and Howard Rusco, Kansas Press Association. Mr. Clymer, Mr. Stauffer, Mr. Abels, and Mr. Rusco are University alumni.
Henry J. Allen of Wichita was named chairman of the foundation committee, and Fay N. Seaton of Manhattan is secretary. Nineteen other Kansans, representing various professional, educational and business interests, will be chosen for the committee. The organization will be chartered to act as an institution.
Twenty-one Attend Meeting
The editors stressed that the establishment of the foundation would not interfere with plans of Emporia citizens for establishing a memorial of their own. They expressed a feeling that Mr. White would have preferred the type of memorial that the press association are undertaking.
Two ASTP Trainees Transferred to Iowa
Two ASTP reserve trainees who were enrolled in Term I have been transferred to the AST Unit, No 3703, at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant of the University ASTP unit, has announced.
The men, Orlan W. Willis and Delbert L. Moore are the only trainees in the ASTP who have been sent here recently. They left the University last Thursday.

TODAY'S EDITORIAL Poles Carry On Secret Education
One of the most important features of the national resistance to the Germans by the subjugated Poles has been in the form of secret education. All stages of higher education in Poland, from high school through university work, are carried on underground. A secret school administration has been set up to direct and unify the work. The Polish Underground pays teachers' salaries and provides the necessary text books, printed by the underground press, and issues special school and matriculation certificates.
Secret education in Poland flows through two channels: strictly "illegal" schools and the secret extension of the teaching programs in those schools which are still allowed to exist. The second method is fairly simple in primary schools. Although history, religion, Polish language and culture are strictly banned by the Nazis, these subjects are taught even though the children themselves hardly realize that it is being done. Difficulties increase greatly at the secondary level of education.
In a nursing school, for instance, students were secretly given a regular medical course. A German inspector came to the school for the final examinations. Things went off fine, until the Nazi waved the teachers away and proceeded to examine the girls himself. He questioned the girls as he would have done medical students. The answers came smoothly, even as the questions grew more difficult. The inspector realized he had in front of him future doctors, not nurses. Enraged, he strode out of the school. The next day large posters appeared on the school's bulletin boards, doors, walls, practically everywhere: "The students are strictly forbidden to overstep the official teaching program approved by the German authorities."

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
She Who Laughs Last—One morning last week when Dr. F, C. "Phog" Allen rode his bicycle to his office, he was met by Dorothy Hagland, secretary to Dean Stouffer, who asked to ride the wheel. A little dubious of the young woman's ability to stay on a bike, "Phog" played for time.
Dean Lawson and H. B. Latimer anatomy professor, came up and added their names to the riding request list. Faced by these demands, "Phog" had to let Miss Haglund ride. Much to the amazement of the three men, Miss Haglund, all dressed up in her spring finery, jumped on the bike and sailed off. Her answer to their astonishment was, "I wore out two tricyles and wo bicycles in my day."

In Memoriam — Chi Omegas are wearing long faces this week as proper mourning for the two inmates who have departed. Gus and Delmont have died, and now only Oliver is left.
For two weeks entertainment has been furnished on the second floor of the chapter house by the trio, Gus, protege of Betty Nichols, so named "because he looked the part;" Delmont, charge of Anne Young, who bore the middle name of a certain Naval Aviation Cadet; and Oliver (Twist), childpool of Neil Leger, who "looks picked on." But now
Gus and Delmont have passed on, from causes unknown (although it is suspected they are too much). Perhaps fate was kind in sparing Oliver at least, but, after all, what fun is one goldfish?
The Glorious State — Vinceum Christ is the self-affirmed victim of a practical joke that backfired. Last weekend the Navy medic went home to Leavenworth, and Sunday friends at KU received a wire announcing his marriage the night before to his home town girl.

Currently the medic has been seen camped on the steps of Joliffe hall, making avid explanations. Let's see, what is that old proverb about eating your cake and having it too?

Kappa Epsilon Wins Top Award In U.S. Contest
Individual ratings were also given. Frances Blair, senor, took second place in the examination. Betty Jeanne Whitney, sophomore, and Lucile Baker, junior, won sixth and eight places respectively.
The national scholarship award of Kappa Epsilon, honorary pharmacy sorority, has been won by the University of Kansas chapter. J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, announced today. The award was made on the basis of an examination sent out by the national officers of the organization. This chapter made the highest rating of all the chapters of the sorority in the United States.
Third place in the scholarship average for regular class work in pharmacy was also awarded to the local chapter.
Opening with the National An-
men, the 75 members of the A Cappela Choir under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts presented their spring concert in Hoch auditorium last night.
A Cappella Choir Concert Praised
Herbie Kay Dies in Dallas
The choir sang the first two sections which were ecclesiastical numbers with tenderness and fine tone shading. The group performed as an eight-part chorus in "Song of Praise" (Heinrich Schutz), exhibiting its intensive training.
"Glory Be to God," a Russian hymn, was sung with a great contrast in tone shading, starting with a wisp of tone, developing to a powerful crescendo, and fading to the same gossamer tone of the beginning. The most somber of the Russian church music was "Heavenly Light." "The Earth Is the Lord's" was also played.
Herbie Kay, nationally known band leader, died Thursday night in a Dallas hospital. Kay, who was 40 years old, has been ill several months.
After the intermission the choir sang the rhythmic and electric "Hosanna" (F. Melius Christiansen), followed with the pure, light "The Blue Bird."
“O Susanna,” the familiar folk tune, received the greatest applause from the audience. Also in the last numbers of the program were the Arkansas folk song, "The Weak and Rambling One" and Nobel Cain's arrangement of the Negro spiritual, "The Glory Train."
Dean Swarthout announced as a surprise not only to the audience but to the singers themselves, an encore, "Breathe on Me O Breath of God" (Van Denman Thompson).
K Club to Meet Tonight
A meeting of the K Club has been called for this evening by George Dick, president. The meeting will be held at 6:45 at the K Club room in Robinson gymnasium. Dick urged all members to be present as there is some very important business to discuss.
Miss Hat,
Nightgown?
See Hospital
In spite of students' apparent anxiety to leave Watkins hospital after convalescing, it seems somewhat odd to the hospital staff that the following list of items have not been claimed by now.
A yellow nightgown belonging to either A. R. S. or K. P.; "Introduction to Human Physiology," which belongs to some J. P.; underwear and socks of C. E.'s; a man's grey-blue felt hat in good condition which was left in room 241; more underwear of D. P.'s; and a white wool scarf belonging to an anonymous student.
The list grows more interesting with still more underwear belonging to A. C.; a pair of men's shoe trees, left in room 254; house slippers belonging to a V. H.; a pair of brown knit gloves of M. F.; and numerous toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste, all in usable condition, belonging to N. S., H. R., P. A., J. N., or C. S.
If these articles have not been claimed by May 20, the hospital staff will assume that the owners have made the tremendous adjustment of living without them, and the collection will either be donated to a worthy organization, or a spring clearance sale will be held.
Dean Moreau Visits Law Professors On Leave From Staff
Returning from a week's trip to Washington, D. C., and Philadelphia, F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, reports that all the law professors on leave are busily engaged in vital work.
Dr. J. B. Smith, now major in the Judge Advocate's department, is working on important legal matters. Smith was recently cited for a unique law plan, the Louisiana Law Institute.
George E. Palmer, chief attorney for the rent section of the OPA will soon make another swing around to regional offices throughout the country and may be able to stop in Lawrence en route.
Prof. H. H. Lesar, who was with the U. S. Civil Service commission, is now Lieutenant (j.g.) in the navy in Philadelphia. He expects to be transferred to more active duty in the near future.
Several students have been admitted to the hospital in the past few days, because of severe cases of sunburn, resulting from indiscriminate exposure to the sun in an effort to produce a quick tan.
Students Get Sunburn From Over-Exposure
The hospital staff would like to remind the students that the sun has been hidden all spring, and the skin could not be accustomed to its rays.
Exposure to the sun should be a gradual affair, beginning with 20 to 30 minutes at a time, and increasing the time daily. Under no circumstances should one expose himself for two or three hours, said Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson today.
Battle Stiffens As Allies Fight On Gustav Line
Allied and Axis armies were locked today in a battle of growing intensity in and around the Nazi's Gustav line. The forces of the United Nations continued to march forward by ousting the enemy from several war towns and mountain tops.
Both sides according to Nazi-controlled propaganda outlets are throwing reinforcements into the fray. The threat to Cassino, anchor point of the enemy's Gustav line, suddenly became severe when Allied forces slashed the highway linking that city with the sea. The Eighth Army according to one battlefront report now has little more than a mile to cut off Cassino from the rear.
Other German detachments were hurled out of Stigno and San Giorgio by French and American troops. All enemy resistance in the Ausente valley also seiged during the day. Allied bombers and fighters aided the advancing infantry and tank units while along the coastal strip war ships which steamed close to the shore poured tons of TNT and steel into Nazi installations and highways. A Swiss newspaper reported that as a result of the Allied bombings all rail lines in northern Italy are disorganized, and the main line from Florence to the fighting front severed completely.
Birth of a Nation Will Be Presented As Forums Movie
"Birth of a Nation," 1916 motion picture masterpiece to be shown as the next movie presentation, was discussed by the Student Forums Board at last night's meeting, according to Joy Miller, chairman.
Filmed by David Wark Griffith, undisputed master of the motion picture, "Birth of a Nation" through its technique and expressiveness contributed much to this medium that is considered fundamental in the industry today. The first great movie to be filmed in America, "Birth of a Nation" is being shown by the Student Forums Board at the request of students and faculty members who believe that the present generation misses much of educational value in not having the picture accessible to them.
The theater of 1915 will be recreated when "Birth of a Nation" is shown at 7:30, May 25, in Fraser theater, Miss Miller pointed out. A piano accompaniment for the silent film, an original score especially composed for the picture by Joseph Carl Breil, will be played by Anna Mae Johnston, College sophomore.
Plans were made for a student panel discussion of the political issues of 1944 to be scheduled for an open meeting in the men's lounge in about three weeks. Outstanding student speakers on the campus will take sides on the issues and those attending the discussion may ask questions at the end of the meeting, Miss Miller said.

War of Principles Or Power? Asks Alf
Chicago, (INS)—Former governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas today demanded that the "government decide whether this war is a conflict of principles or whether it is just a grab for world dominion."
Stray Dogs Shot To Halt Rabies
Seven dogs running around loose have been shot by the city police since yesterday afternoon in accordance with the 40-day quarantine in the county, according to Body Skinner, sheriff.
Landon told members of Rotary International in Chicago that every unbiased, observant citizen knows that a lack of information and clear direction—the failure of Franklin Roosevelt to enlighten his countrymen concerning his plans, the failure to crystalize our aims in terms more comprehensive than unconditional surrender of the enemy in this war have all confused and disappointed our citizens.
The dogs in Lawrence and on the campus have virtually "disappeared" but there are a few strays still out, according to the office of the chief of police, C. A. Bliesner. None of the animals shot was on the campus at the time but several dogs have not been quarantined and students are warned to avoid all dogs as a precautionary measure against rabies.
Glee Club Elects; Plans Picnic Supper
Meeting yesterday afternoon in Hoch, the Women's Glee Club elected officers for the next season and announced plans for a picnic supper to be held at 4:30 Thursday afternoon at Potter Lake.
The police have received numerous calls from Lawrence residents notifying them of the presence of stray dogs in the neighborhood, and these dogs have been shot. Numerous persons are letting their dogs out at night in an attempt to evade the quarantine ruling. The police began yesterday shooting all dogs running loose, regardless of time or place.
Those chosen as officers for the next season include Margaret Hall, Fine Arts junior, Oakley, president; Patricia Coolidge, College freshman, Kansas City, Mo., business manager; Beverly Stucker, College sophomore, Ottawa, secretary; Mildred Carpenter, College sophomore, Lawrence, libarian; and Norma Jean Lutz, Fine Arts junior, Dodge City, student director.
Sooner Educator Dies
William Bennett Bizzell, for 16 years head of the University of Oklahoma, died Saturday night.
Under the direction of Mrs. Anne Livingston and Mr. Pat Rooney of the National Recreational Association of New York City, the first session of the Wartime Recreation Institute, sponsored by the physical education department, will be from 8 to 10 tonight on the East first floor of Robinson gymnasium. About 125 recreation leaders from state clubs and organizations are expected to attend, said Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education and hostess of the Institute.
The Japanese also gave ground before the first major Chinese offensive of the war.
The Institute will present a balanced program planned according to the needs of the registrants by a committee that met with Mrs. Livingston yesterday afternoon. The first part of the evening sessions, which will continue every night at the same time until, and including Friday evening, May 19, will include lectures and discussions. After a ten minute intermission, the sessions will continue with practical activities including ways of starting a party, activities and games.
Japs Lose Ground In China's First Major Offensive
All these courses have been arranged to help equip the young untrained workers and many new volunteers of all ages who have entered the field as recreational personnel, said Prof. F. C. Allen of the physical education department Mrs. Livingston will teach activity programs, techniques, organizational procedures, practical suggestions, music for fun, mixers, and parties for special events.
Fees for the entire week's course are $1.50, and students of the University and other colleges will be charged $1.00. Any single session is $0.50. There will be a morning session Saturday from 10 to 12 o'clock. The closing session will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday following a luncheon for members of the Institute at Lindley Hall.
General Chiang Kai-shek's ground forces which already have crossed the Salween river in Yunnan province hammered out new gains under the protection of the American 15th air force and closed in on the big enemy base at Tengchung with a tripronged drive. One column "Virtually encircled" a large enemy detachment while another inflicted two casualties on the Japanese for every one suffered by its own troops.
The greatest battle yet fought in the India-Burma theater came to an end when Allied forces occupied all of a ridge before Kohima supply base.
In the southwest Pacific Japanese air bases were reduced to rubble by American airmen who hit the Scoutens themselves.
"Damage was extensive." Gen. Douglas MacArthur said in summarizing the result of the operation.

Lt. Norris Says WAVE's Are Given Specialized Training
Statting that 50 per cent of the women who join the WAVE's are given specialized training, Lt. (jg) Edith D. Norris, WAVE recruiting officer for Kansas and Missouri, also said that the greatest need in the Navy's women's reserve was in the hospital corps, communications, and various branches of aviation.
Lieutenant Norris is here at the University to give information regarding the WAVE's, answer questions, and help anyone interested adapt her training and background for a billet (Navy job). She has a desk in the office of the adviser of women, Miss Elizabeth Meguai.
"Each woman has three choices as to what her work will be and the statistics have proved that in the Navy 90 per cent of the women get one of the first two choices," Lieutenant Norris said.
There are two training schools for the WAVE's, one for the enlisted girls at Hunter College, The Bronx, New York City, and the other the officer candidate's school at Smith College, North Hampton, Mass. Boot training and indoctrination period lasts from six to eight weeks where one half of the girls go from there to specialized training and the other half to specific billets.
Signal Corps Needs More College Women
The WAC recruiting office has received a call for 100 women for signal corps installation, states a notice received by Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser to women, from the army service forces seventh service command, Omaha, Neb. Enlistments in this branch will be restricted to nativeborn citizens or citizens naturalized prior to 1935.
Twenty women are needed to be trained for specialized work in the signal corps. Ten of these women with at least two years of college are to be trained as tabulating machine operators; eight of the women with college training in languages or mathematics are to be trained as cryptographic clerks; and two of the women with a minimum speed of 30 words per minute and a proficiency in the touch system of typing are to be trained as key punch operators.
Lits, Veatch and Manning who are aiding in enlistment, said the trainees will be sent to Arlington Hall, a former fashionable women's college on the shore of the Potomac river about 20 minutes ride from downtown Washington, D. C.
Navy Recruiter to Be In Lawrence Monday
A navy recruit officer will be at the armory in Lawrence Monday, Chief J. D. Conway of the navy recruiting substation in Topeka, has announced.
Anyone interested in any of the branches of the navy are welcome to ask for information, or make application of enlistment in either the navy or the WAVES, he said.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Because of letters which have been appearing in the Kansan columns purporting to interpret Council motives and in particular reference to a most unjustifiable and untrue comment by the editor on the latest ruling by the Council, it has been felt that a general statement at this time might be helpful in clarifying the recent actions of the All Student Council.
Since its installation one year ago, the ASC has been able to conduct its affairs and pass its legislation in a non-partisan attitude. During that year, party politics, as such, has played no part in determining ASC action. It is regrettable that such cooperation has been temporarily lost.
During the past year these reasons were accepted by all. As an example, when representatives on the Council joined the armed forces, both men's political parties replaced them although these men remained on the campus.
With the advent of the armed forces programs on the Hill, some common understanding of the extent to which they would be able to participate in student affairs was necessary. Without a single dissenting voice, until the coming of the spring election, ASC understanding was that, while members of the armed forces were to be given every encouragement toward extra-curricular activities, they could not be considered full members of the Association of students and consequently could not vote in elections of that Association.
This was not considered as a restriction imposed by the Council upon the armed forces, but as an unavoidable existing condition. There were several reasons for this viewpoint. Army policy forbade participation in extra-curricular activities. Navy men were encouraged to participate, but were subject to many limitations, such as their own scholarship requirements, restrictions on their time, etc. Then, too, members of the armed forces were not required to pay an Activity Fee. In previous years this was a qualification for voting, since the fee money supports all extra-curricular activities, including student government.
At first the issue was regarded as mere political mudslinging, incident to any general election. When it became evident that the issue could not be confined to the academic but that agitators were attempting to
Then this spring agitation was begun by various members affiliated with the WIGS and Pachacamac parties, minority groups on the ASC.
--make the question, "Civilians against the Navy," the Council took immediate action. Its just solution to the problem was a separate election conducted by the armed forces for representatives to sit on the All Student Council. This still, however, allowed strife on a question which might be ruinous to University unity.
No Navy Blues—With chaperones lining the walls three deep at the Party Saturday night, it looked for one long minute as though PT-8 might hit a calm, in spite of detailed and extensive planning to the contrary. The ingenuity of the U.S. Navy came through with flying colors, however, and it was not long before the fleet had the "situation" well in hand(s), and a ship-shape evening was spent aboard the PT.
Final Tribute—Oliver is dead.
At exactly 10:30 Sunday morning he gave his last faint smile, and rolled over on his side. That he died of a lonely heart is obvious—he was blue all over.
Final Tribute—Oliver is dead.
Proper memorial services honoring the three, Gus, Delmont, and Oliver, were held, at the request of actives, during dinner Monday night, and Chi Omega has adjusted itself to carry on—goldfishless.
To meet it, the Council the next day reversed its previous action, and threw the entire general election open to the armed forces. This action was taken unanimously. Then, after the question had already been decided, members of the Wigs and Pachacamac groups introduced a resolution saying that the ASC recognized the right of the armed forces to participate in the election—a superfluous gesture which we can only regard as being offered for partisan propaganda.
Doubts have been expressed as to the legality of the Council's decision to consider the armed forces as full members of the association. We, personally, as well as the parties which we represent, feel that the issue of anyone being against the members of the Army or the Navy, as such, is completely unpatriotic and has no place in student government. We are willing to do everything in our power to prevent stirring up of civilian-Navy friction, a situation with far too grave implications to be used as more ammunition in a political battle.

Iowa State seems to be the power in Big Six track circles this year. The Cyclones won the conference indoor meet and will be top heavy favorites to repeat in the outdoor meet to be held Saturday at Lincoln. Kansas has at least one of the top three teams in the Big Six but was able to give the Cyclones no serious trouble in their dual meet last Saturday at Ames. Of course, the Jayhawks had only fifteen men competing while Iowa State had several more which enabled them to pick up several seconds and thirds quite frequently.
Oklahoma may be able to give the Cyclones a fight for the conference but the Sooners are as weak in the field events as the Jayhawks are in the middle distances. Oklahoma wasn't going to make the Lincoln journey because of navy regulations, but when questions began to be asked as to why they had never come up before and how the Sooners made the basketball trip back East with players who were forced to report late to their new stations, the southern school found some way to make the trip.
Missouri may be able to swing a surprise Saturday, for little is known of their strength at the present time. The Iowa Seahawks defeated the Tigers by a rather large score last week. And Iowa State scored an upset victory over the Seahawks, which just proves further how powerful the Cyclones are.

Max Kissell, former athlete at KU is still setting a fast pace in athletics. During the past season Kissell played on three service teams. First at Albuquerque, N.M.; then at Athens, Ga., on Lt. "Chuck" Finley's fine Skycracker team which Kissell captained much of the time; and then closed the season at the Ottumwa Air Base where Lt. Eddie Hickey, former Creighton basketball coached. Kissell, rated tops by Lt. Hickey, also captained the championship base five, racking up 18 points in the final game.
Kissell was a letterman in both basketball and track while at the University, and still has another year of college competition.
May 22 Designated As Maritime Day
President Franklin D. Roosevelt has called upon the people of the United States to observe National Maritime Day May 22 by displaying flags at their homes and other suitable places, and has directed that the flag be displayed on all government buildings on that day.
In commemoration of the sailing from Savannah, Ga., on May 22, 1819, of the Savannah, the first steam-propelled vessel to cross the Atlantic, May 22 of each year was designated as National Maritime Day. This resolution was approved by Congress on May 20, 1933.

"Ah, to be in England, now that spring's there," is a quotation that probably occurs frequently to 19-year-old David Clyde, junior premedicine student at the University of Kansas. Clyde, the son of a British surgeon, left England in 1940, "just before the Blitz the Jerries considerately waited for me to leave," and has been in the United States ever since.
KU Medic Is English, Born in India But Headed for US Army
"I'm very fond of America," he explains in clipped, carefully-chosen syllables, "but I'll be glad to get back to England."
Not that he's actually homesick, he explains quickly. "I haven't really had a home since I was seven." Clyde was born in Meerut, India, in 1925. His father was an officer in the Indian Medical Service, and the family home was wherever he was stationed.
"But my older sister was at school in England, so my mother and I would go to see her quite often. I made five or six trips to England before I was seven."
At the age of seven Clyde himself was sent to an English school in Sussex. He entered Marlborough College in Wiltshire at 13, and remained there for two years. War had broken out meantime, and Clyde's parents, still in India, felt it best for him to go to live with an uncle in Kansas City, Mo. He reached Halifax in August, 1940, and entrained for Kansas City.
In Kansas City with his uncle, Thomas Clyde, he began high school as a senior. The next year he went to Kansas City, Mo., Junior College. He enrolled at KU, in September, and expects to get his degree in medicine at the University—"God and the American Army willing."
Clyde is subject to American selective service laws and will probably be inducted in November into the Army Specialized Training Unit as a medical student. He has no objection to entering the American service. "After all, we're fighting for the same things," he says.
Clyde has to check every three months with Washington "on all sorts of alien problems. They keep pretty close watch on me. No, they don't think me a suspicious character. I'm just a character."
After the war Clyde plans to return to England or to India and enter the medical service, in which his father is now a lieutenant colonel. He has not seen either parent since 1339.
Clyde considers himself quite

OTD Approves Taxi Joint-Action Plan
The Office of Defense Transportation has approved more than 100 joint-action taxicab plans under its taxicab conservation program to be put into operation throughout the nation, the ODT announced today.
Action Here Soon
R. C. Coleman, regional director of the ODT's Division of Motor Transport, said that five plans have been approved in his region, comprising Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Arkansas. An estimated annual saving of 3,548,364 miles has been effected in the four states.
In Lawrence, the plan will probably be put into operation soon, although the details have not been definitely worked out, one of the taxi cab companies has announced.
Mr. Coleman and C.R. Woods, director of ODT's Division of Local Transport in the four states, say that this co-operative action by taxicab owners will result in a fuller utilization of the automobiles and a conservation of many millions of vehicle miles a year. At the same time, it will provide a more efficient taxicab service to the community.
Americanized now, using American slang and enjoying American customs and food. He notes little difference between the two countries, except that Americans are so much less formal.
The joint-action program generally provides for the maintenance of central telephones, elimination of cruising, proportional sharing of expenses incurred by co-ordinating operations, joint employment of street supervisors, and other personnel necessary for co-ordinated service and elimination of unnecessary operating facilities.

White, Townsley Conkling Elected To Hall of Fame
William Allen White, noted Kansas editor and alumnus of the University, and two other Kansas editors, William L. Townsley and Clark Conkling, have been elected to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame at the University, and their pictures will be hung in the news room of the Journalism building within a short time, announced Elmer F. Beth, acting head of the department, today.
This Hall of Fame, which was created in 1931 with Prof. L. N. Flint as chairman of the project, at present includes the portraits of 24 men who achieved recognition as outstanding Kansas editors and publishers in their time. They are elected to this honor by the Quarter Century Club of which newspaper men who have been active in Kansas journalism for 25 years or more automatically become members. The department of journalism sponsors the elections and maintains the Hall, but nomination and election ballots are cast by Kansas editors themselves.
Voting, in the case of Mr. White, to suspend the rule which prevents an editor from being eligible for election until the third year after his death, Kansas editors recognized the eminence he attained in journalism, declared Professor Flint. Under the original regulations, the distinguished editor of the Emporia Gazette could not have been elected until 1947.
Suspend Rules for White
Recalling the occasions when Mr. White visited journalism classes at the University, Professor Flint related that "Mr. White enjoyed sitting on the instructor's desk in informal pose, while prodding the class to ask more questions. Many of our graduates cherish memories of the Emporia editor's refreshing wit and rare insight."

British Planes Blast 7 Nazi Ships; Allied Troops Overrun Gustav Line
Daniels Urges One War Dep't
Clark Conkling, William Townsend, William Allen White
Washington, (INS)-Joseph Daniels, secretary of the navy under President Wilson, told congress today that the divided command at Pearl Harbor which permitted the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941 is "convincing proof" of the need for a single department of the armed forces.
London, (INS) — Carrier based British planes teamed with warships of the royal navy's home fleet blasted seven German vessels during a powerful attack on enemy shipping off the Norwegian coast and ripped shore installations in that area, the admiralty announced tonight.
Meanwhile American heavy bombers in the Pacific dealt a new series of blows to Japanese bases guarding the approaches to the Philippines. In Burma, Chinese units driving down from their homeland tightened a noose about enemy troops trapped at Kamaing while Russians renewed aerial activity.
Paced by French forces which hurled Nazis from one strong position after another Allied troops in Italy pushed on toward the steel and concrete Hitler line today after overrunning the highly touted Gustav line.
In three sentences Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson described the significant advances, "The Germans have been evicted from most of the original Liri valley defenses. The Gustav line has been overrun south of the Liri valley. The French and Americans are moving forward to contact the Adolf Hitler line." The British Eighth Army extended its bridgehead across the Rapido to a depth of three miles, reinforced by men and equipment. Cassino appeared in imminent danger of encirclement.
Large scale aerial support covered the advancing Allied armies. Light jabs against Berlin and other objectives in Germany were made by RAF mosquitoes during the night.

Detroit Strike Ended To Aid Invasion
Washington, (INS)—Leaders of some 3,300 striking Detroit foreman voted today to end their walkout a little over an hour after Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief of the army air forces, warned that the strike might affect the Allied invasion of Europe.
Robert Keyes, president of the union, emerged from an hour-long session following General Arnold's warning at a war labor board hearing, to hand out a statement asking foremen to end the strike.
The 20-day strike, which had effected some 14 war plants in Detroit and made thousands of workers idle was broken after the stern warning from General Arnold that it had cost 250 long range fighters and might enable the Germans air force to recover from current Allied blows.
Savitt's Tophatters Engaged to Play For K-Club Varsity Dance June 2; Late Hours, Military Liberty Sought
Jan Savitt and his Tophatter orchestra, one of the best-known dance attractions in the country, will play for the K Club Varsity dance Friday, June 2, Heloise Hillbrand, dance manager, has announced.
The orchestra has been scheduled to play from 9 to 12 p.m. in Hoch auditorium. Closing hours for women have been extended until 12:30 p.m., said Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, since the dance is to be held on Friday night. Tentative plans include giving the Army and Navy men liberty that night to attend the dance.
The dance will be informal members of the K Club have decided.
Third Appearance Here
This year's varsity will be Savitt's third engagement at the University in the last four years. On Oct. 20, 1942, he and his musicians played for the Freshman Frolic. Two years previous, his orchestra was obtained for the Sophomore Hop.
A recognized violinist with an outstanding classical background, Savitt has combined his talents with modern music to produce the infectious off-beat style of swing. He has achieved this by finding the right tempo for every number played, and locating the particular emphasis a song will take. The tune is then rearranged to fit. One of his outstanding "old" arrangements has been, "Th World is Waiting for the Sunrise."
Shuffle Rhythm Popular
The "shuffle rhythm," long associated with Savitt and his Tophatters relies for its effect upon the use of eight full beats to the measure instead of the customary four. This type of rhythm has proved popular with dancers all over the country.
Savitt's theme song, "It's a Wonderful World," features all of the soloists and illustrates the band's intricate style.
Mrs. Malott Chosen Chairman of Committee For Personal Affairs of Military Personnel
Mrs. Deane W. Malott, wife of the Chancellor, has consented to serve as chairman of the Women's Volunteer Committee for personal affairs of military personnel at the University and soldiers who are residents of Lawrence, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant of the ASTP unit, has announced.
The Women's Volunteer Committee is a new war department activity, said Col. McMorris. Mrs. Brehon Somervell, wife of the commanding general of the army service forces, is national chairman.
Mrs. C. H. Danielson, wife of Commanding General Danielson, is chairman for all women volunteers of posts and stations throughout the Seventh Service Command.

Red Cross Supplies Hit Japanese Snag
A recent news dispatch revealed a note from Japan to the United States giving certain conditions about picking up American relief supplies in Vladivostok. These supplies are for American prisoners in the Orient. Although the conditions are still being interpreted, Secretary-of-State Hull said that he hoped that Japan is now willing to pick up the supplies, as the Red Cross has already interpreted the note.
A few months ago stories of Japanese atrocities to our prisoners shocked the whole nation. Many have heard reports from various civilians who have returned from the Orient where they were treated almost as severely.
The note received from Japan indicates that there is still a problem of sending supplies to American prisoners, and we can only wonder what the provisions of the Japanese government are for distributing the supplies. We wonder especially because those of the Rising Sun seemingly have no respect for international law, for human life, even for humane treatment of those under their control.
Americans can only hope that no more atrocity stories reach their ears, and that the supplies sent to Vladivostok through Russian co-operation reach their destinations. Japanese prisoners in the United States are well-treated through no effort of their home government; that should show Americans that we practice the policies set forth in our reasons for war—liberty from inhuman tyrants—A.R.
Wellman Views KU For Star
Impressed by the striking wartime changes at the University, involving the blasted academic leisure of the students, Paul Wellman, editorial and feature writer of the Kansas City Star, returned from a day's visit on the campus a week ago and wrote a three-column, 12-inch feature story on the changes as he viewed them and as expressed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. The article appeared yesterday on the editorial page of the Kansas City Times.
Relating how the leisurely, light-hearted atmosphere of "long ago" has given way to the modern accelerated military atmosphere of today. Mr. Wellman featured the problems, including the pros and cons, of the new speed-up program. The majority of the men students are in uniform and marching to classes in regular formation instead of "dawdling along with the girls," and three month vacations are a thing of the past in the three semester schedule which will run a student through college in about two and a half years.
Accompanied by a picture of Chancellor Malott, Mr. Wellman devotes a generous portion of his article to the Chancellor's views on the impending outcome of this "evolution" of the University, stating that the permanent changes will be on the whole, good. The "trials and tribulations" of this new age include such weighty problems as the (continued to vane four)

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Personalized Alarm Service — inmates of Watkins hall were recently the victims of a human alarm-clock system furnished by FT-8. From the moment the battalion sighted the house until they were well out of howling distance a steady stream of "Hit the deck, gals," resounded through the Watkins sleeping porch for several mornings in a row. Impressed, but not favorably, the girls decided to have a little fun themselves.
Oh yes, the plan worked fine. Now PT-8 never disturbs the slumbers of Watkins girls—until the first of the line makes sure there is nothing waiting around the corner.
So one morning last week when the fleet marched, rousing them as usual, they rounded the corner of the house to find all of Watkins calmly playing softball on the lawn. Startled and speechless they trooped by, to the unrepressed amusement of the girls.

The Path of True Love — It all happened because Lucille Larson decided to go to church last Sunday. And go she did, leaving Corbin sisters, Esther DeBord, Harriet Davis, and Ruth Krehbiel, dangerously in the mood for fun. The trio settled first for a ride downtown with Edgar, Corbin handy man, to get the morning mail. On the way back they discovered a letter for Lucille from fiance, Lt. (j.g.) Lewis Medlin, class of '42.
Turkish Home Quite Amercian
"Except for the plumbing and a few minor differences, our Turkish home was quite American. All first floor windows were barred for protection from thieves, of course, and walls encircle all valuable property for the same reason." she stated.
Experiencing a hurricane on one trans-Atlantic trip and taking a pleasurable excursion route on another occasion, Eleanor found variety in her ocean trips. The eight years she lived in Turkey, 1923 to 1927 and 1928 to 1932, are "slightly hazy now, although I remember some things pretty well." Friends Monthly
Crossing Bosporus in Rowboat Thrilling to Eleanor Markham
Eleanor and her sister Barbara, fine arts freshman, were born in Turkey near Istanbul. Their father, Prof. R. F. Markham, now head of the education department and adviser to students at Washburn College in Topeka, is a native Kansas. In Turkey he was head of a boy's school of junior college standing, and he taught at Aleppo, Syria, for four years.
"We didn't associate with Turkish natives for the most part, although we had some native friends. Most of our friends were Americans, both in Turkey and Syria, and nearly all of my particular chums are students in the United States now."
"Crossing the Strait of Bosporus in a rowboat," said Eleanor Markham, College junior and a new student this semester, "is one of my most vivid recollections of life. in Asia Minor. I can remember being thrilled, daring, and scared all at once. Daddy wanted me to experience it, since the strong current running through it to the Mediterranean makes it adventurous."
Friends Mostly Americans
Turkey, her birthplace, seems more like America than Syria does to Eleanor. Syrian women still wear Moslem veils, and the men have fezzes, embroidered jackets, and baggy trousers. The Turks have Western styles of dress and customs. "The Turkish climate is generally mild, like the American seacoast, although we had occasional freakish weather. Sometimes people crossed the Sea of Marmora by jumping
When Lucille got home she found love's bumpy path laid out for her via several (hundred) treasure hunt notes. For several hours she entertained the Corbinites with her mad search from room to room in quest of the pot of gold. Finally, mid-afternoon, she found the letter, and after reading it, told the practical jokers (with the regulation half-sick look on her face) that the hunt was well worth it.
A Stinging Governmental Problem—With the weather daily becoming more and more sunny-side-up, faculty members are finding they must adapt their class lectures to meet current problems. Members of F. O. Stene's municipal administration class are sure that is what Professor Stene had in mind during one of his recent discussions.

The professor was a few minutes late to class, and in way of explanation he spent not a few minutes describing his trip of exploration to Haskell in search of a queen bee to rule one of his prize hives. Well, after all, government is government.
from ice block to ice block. The only snow seen in Lebanon was on the mountain tops, where skiing was a favorite sport," she said.
Eleanor's education has been gleaned from French and American institutions in Turkey and the American community school at Beirut. Syria, besides the Topeka public schools and Park College.

In Detroit, Dr. Jack will participate in the annual meetings of the Midwestern Unitarian Conference, and in Boston he will attend the 19th annual meeting of the American Unitarian Association. He has been invited to preach at the historic Bristle Street Chapel in Providence, R. I., on Sunday, May 21. Following his return to Lawrence on the first of June, Dr. Jack will speak to the Sateve Club at 8:30 on Saturday evening, June 3, at the Unitarian church on youth work on social problems in other parts of the country.

The date of the opening number of the University Concert Series for next season, Grace Moore, grand opera, movie and radio soprano star, has been changed to Nov. 6, and the concert of Bronisław Huberman, Polish violinist, has been changed to Dec. 4 rather than the previously announced date, Dean D.M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts announced today.
There have already been a number of advance reservations made for season tickets for next year, and everyone wishing particular locations held should make advance deposits now to ensure their being retained, the Dean said. Otherwise no definite guarantee can be given that any desired seat can be held over until September.
The return of the Philadelphia Opera company with symphony orchestra in a performance of "The Merry Widow" has been scheduled for Jan. 22.
Other artists to appear in next season's series are Lauritz Melchoir, Metropolitan Opera tenor; and Alee Templeton, pianist and musical mimic.
A number of patrons have purchased the full season tickets this spring, and others wishing to do so may make similar arrangements, Dean Swarthout announced.

Baseball Team To Open Season With Iowa State
The University baseball team will travel to Ames, Iowa, Saturday to meet the Iowa State Cyclones in KU's opening game.
Coach Jack Austin has been working his charges hard and long the past few weeks getting them in shape. Baseball at the University probably will be played throughout the summer as classes continue straight through.
The team has shown considerable improvement the past week as a result of the intensive practice. The hitting has improved but is still weak in spots. The key-stone combination of Corder and Wolcott has been looking especially good both on defense and offense, and the rest of the infield has been rounding into shape.
The Jayhawks are expecting plenty of trouble at Ames as the Cyclones have a seasoned ball club with several victories already to their credit.
Coach Austin has made a tentative starting line-up for the Iowa State, but remarked that several changes may be made before game time.
The line-up:
Corder, ss; Smith, If; Woolcott, 2b; Gaba, Barrington, or Farber, 3b; Sinclair or Daleen, c; Rohrbaugh, 1b; Scalzo, rf; Barrington or Heim, cf; Saffell or Slipsager, p.
Cartlich Gets Ideas For Woolf Bros. Ads From All Sources
Weather forms a very important basis on which to write advertising copy as it keeps ads right up to the minute, George Cartlich, advertising executive for Woolf Bros. store in Kansas City, told to advertising majors and other journalism students yesterday afternoon. Mr. Cartlich used samples of the ads which have been published during the past 30 years to illustrate points in his lecture.
Mr. Cartilh writes the copy and draws many of the illustrations for the ads which have made the Woolf Bros. famous.
Paraphrases on headlines in the news as well as inspirations derived from other periodicals, provide him with ideas for advertisements, explained Mr. Cartlich. Last Christmas Eve one of his ads was published in the London Times. For two months afterward the store received letters from homesick soldiers stationed in England, who had seen the picture of the familiar store.
He always stresses the unusual—anything to catch the hurried reader's eye and attract his attention and interest, Mr. Cartlich said.
At present many of the ads are directed toward patriotic efforts and institutional advertising, Mr. Cartliich explained, but after the war advertising will make appeals to men, women, and children along entirely different lines. He thinks more emphasis will be placed on the young people.

Officers Men Battle In Softball
Enlisted men of the Navy will have a chance to talk back to their superior officers this afternoon with the aid of bats when they meet them on the baseball field.
The officers brought it on themselves, so they will have no complaint, the salts say. Officers issued a challenge to the Ship's Company of the University Naval Training School, for a game of softball at 4 p.m. today and the challenge was accepted more quickly than the officers could give a command.
Both officers and men are expecting a lot of fun out of the game when dignity will be cast aside and the ol' razz will be in order.
Penny Also Selected To Play on All-Stars
Another member of the University of Kansas football team received a bid from Arch Ward, Sports Editor of the Chicago Tribune, to become a member of the "All-Star" college squad that will play the Chicago Bears in Chicago the night of Aug. 30.
Junius Penny, tackle-center on the University of Kansas football team for the past two years, this week received the invitation to play with the "All-Stars." Penny, who was rated one of the best line-backers in the Big Six the years he played, still has another year of college competition.
George Dick, who was honorary captain of the 1943 squad, last week received a bid from Ward, and has accepted the invitation.

(continued from page one) work together for the common good of the state."
Mr. Townsley, whose father, Judge C. P. Townsley, founded the Great Bend Tribune, attended Washburn College in Topeka for three years but quit in 1904 to work on the Tribune. Although active in politics, Mr. Townsley never aspired to political office. He took part, however, in Republican party councils, in formulating policies, in conducting campaigns, and in advocating better roads and a lake-building program in Kansas. He died in 1935.
Published Lyons Republi
Clark Conkling, who died in 1939, was publisher of the Lyons Republican, columnist on the Lyons Daily News, and representative from Rice county in the state legislature for five terms. He was born in Sharonville, Ohio, and attended Western Reserve College in Cleveland, but went west "to grow up with the country."
After working on the Sterling Bulletin for seven months, Mr. Conkling went to Lyons and got a job on the Weekly Republican. When the Lyons Daily News bought the Republican in 1924, Mr. Conkling acquired some stock, kept his desk in the News office, and became an associate of Editor Paul Jones. He wrote a column, mostly about state and national politics, for the Daily News.

In these times when priorities and rationing seem to prohibit any kind of collecting, there is at the University a collector whose work the government actually encourages.
Philately requires no service expense for the government, and the revenue derived from selling stamps continues to pour into the federal vaults. H. B. Chubb, associate professor of political science, is one of the few K. U. philatelists who has made a hobby of bargaining for new and used postage stamps.
Stamps Are Records of History, Prof. H. B. Chubb, Philatelist, Says
In his collection of more than 5-000 stamps, there are some of the rarest specimens in the country, although he asserts he is a rank amateur in the field.
"A one-time boyhood hobby was neglected," commented Professor Chubb, "until I served as staff librarian for congress in Washington, D. C., from 1913 to 1917. Interest was renewed in my collecting when quantities of foreign stamped mail passed through my hands."
History Portrayed in Stamps
Since Professor Chubb has been teaching international relations and similar courses at the University, he has hoped to prepare slides of his stamps to illustrate the events of history recorded on stamps. This plan has never been developed because the government secret service prohibits reproductions of stamps for educational purposes fearing counterfeiters.
Professor Chubb pointed out that stamps play an important role in tracing historical events. Following the Geneva peace conference, a stamp was published bearing a sword and dove in an artistic pattern. Contrasted with this was a black stamp known as a mourning stamp, which the Finns printed when Russia denied them the right to use their symbolic coat-of-arms. Regaining of their independence revived the former stamp engraved
Represents Occupied Countries
A valuable series that Professor Chubb has mounted consists of twelve 5c stamps representing the occupied countries of the present war. They include France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Austria, Albania, Luxemburg, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. Another series in Professor Chubb's collection consists of a complete series of tuberculosis seals which are published at Christmas time. The first seal was issued in 1907, and Professor Chubb has been offered large sums of money for the first few.
Professor Chubb enjoys recording the faces of dictators as they rise and fall from power. The United States has a policy never to reproduce the picture of a living man on stamps. Ranging from $1/2e to $5, many of our American published stamps honor former presidents.
"Stamp collecting is a tremendous business, and various companies specialize in sending representatives over the country to develop markets. This is because a stamp never decreases in face value, only increases," explained Professor Chubb. Two Panama stamps purchased a few years ago by Professor Chubb for 10c have now risen to $35 in value. Professor Chubb believes the greatest value of collecting lies in the knowledge of international affairs that the collector gains from his study. He is collecting a series of stamps from the localities in which American boys are fighting.

Northwestern Plans 'Unit Study' Program
A new program for students working for a bachelor of arts degree at Northwestern University, employing "units of study" instead of the "course" system, was announced yesterday by Franklin B. Snyer, university president.
The program will go into effect in the fall. Sixteen "units" are provided in the new curriculum, with four units included in each year of study.
Twenty Take Examination
The new program is designed to simplify and unify the body of knowledge believed essential to a liberal education, Snyder added. Some units prescribe certain subjects, but others permit selection by the student as in the units for sciences and languages.

Medics to Go To KU Hospitals In Kansas City
Sixty-three Army and Navy trainees who are sophomores in the School of Medicine will leave Saturday for Kansas City, providing they receive the approval of the University medical board, and will begin classes at the University of Kansas hospitals, Monday.
Forty-five Army medical trainees will move from the Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity houses, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant of the University ASTP activities, has announced. The fraternity houses will be turned back to their former owners.
The new commanding officer of the ASTP detachment in Kansas City will be Lt. Gordon Cole, Inf., who has been serving here as ASTP adjutant and commanding officer of Company A, medical trainees. The total number of ASTP soldiers taking medical training at the hospitals will be 131, Col. McMorris said.
Eighteen Navy medics will move to Kansas City, where Lt. R. W. Wockes, assistant commanding offi- tion of Lt. A. H. Buhl, is in charge
Both Army and Navy trainees at the University hospitals in Kansas City will be on commutation status for quarters and rations, it was announced. The navy medics have been on commutation status while at the University.
WLB Orders Plant To Rehire Strikers
Washington, (INS)—The WLB today ordered Aeronautical Products Inc., Detroit, one of the six companies affected by the foremen strike, to rehire immediately 20 discharged strikers in the same jobs they held on the day that the walk-out began. Leaders of the foremen's union voted yesterday to end the 20-day strike which had impaired vital plane production.
In Detroit William Vallance, president of the foremen's association, declared a "behind the scene's victory" was the principle factor of the strike of 3,000 foreman.
Washington, (INS)—A new draft regulation today restored the deferment for pre-theological divinity students.
Anne Livingston to Be Guest On KFKU Sportscast
Mrs. Anne Livingston, representative of the National Recreational Association from New York City, will be the guest of Prof. F. C. "Phog" Allen on his Sportscast program tonight at 9:30 o'clock over station KFKU. She will describe the work of the national organization and of the training course currently at the University.
Mrs. Livingston is in Lawrence a week in co-operation with the Recreation Training Institute.

Allies Take Cassino; Erase Gustave Line; Take Jap Airdrome
(International News Service)
(International News Service)
Allied troops in Italy launched a powerful drive against the Hitler line guarding Rome today coincident with an official announcement by Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilse that the mountain stronghold of Cassino has fallen.
In his communique, which revealed that more than 1,500 Nazi prisoners were taken in the occupation of Cassino, General Wilson announced that the Gustav line has "ceased to exist."
French troops seized valuable high ground and fortifications while Polish units took the Benedictine monastery near Cassino and British tomies occupied the town itself. Part of the German first parachute division was trapped in the action which took the form of a gigantic pincers movement, following French and American advances that paved the way for the severing of highway six in the rear of the town.
A big Japanese base at Myitkyina in the Burma mainspring of the enemy's supply line in that area was under seige by Brigadier Gen Frank Merrill's marauders, who captured a vital airdrome two miles south of the town. This drone immediately was used by American gliders and transports to carry in engineers, infantrymen and supplies. In Russia Red army planes continued to strike at German concentration points.
Red Cross Unit To Come June 5 On Fifth Visit
The mobile unit of the Red Cross blood donor service will make a fifth visit to Lawrence on June 5, 6, and 7.
Registration of donors will start on Monday, May 29, and continue until Saturday noon, June 3. Volunteers should telephone 640 on those days, between 9 a.m. and 12 noon, and 1 and 5 p.m., and between 9 a.m. and 12 noon on Saturday.
A maximum of 144 donors will be enrolled on each day. This revision was made because of the introduction of a second mobile unit in the Kansas City area, which permits more towns to contribute, and because of the necessity of maintaining an even flow of blood to the processing plants.
The schedule of the mobile unit will differ from its previous visits. The hours for appointments will be from 10 to 12 in the morning, and from 1 to 2 in the afternoon. The unit will be here three days instead of two.
"We must be certain of getting at least 120 points of blood from the maximum 144 donors." Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson said today. Those students who are not certain that their weight is over 110 pounds, their blood pressure is above 110, and their hemoglobin is all right, should

Physical Education for All
The graduates and former students were asked for suggestions and criticisms on the accelerated program, the liberal education, professional training now offered, and what changes they would like to see made. They were also asked what plans they had made for continuing their education after the war, and it was found that most are planning to return.
The majority replied that more physical education and a complete athletic program for all students was necessary, that there should be a greater emphasis on liberal arts courses, that there should be offered more practical training for the specialized courses and schools of the University.
Realizing that KU students in the armed forces are now finding out the value of their college education and training, and that from their experiences they also realize the shortcomings of the University programs, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, published a questionnaire to accompany his recent issue of the University Newsletter, which was sent to all KU students in the Armed Forces in the states and overseas.
Since they were mailed May 4, answers have been pouring in with the requested information, which Mr. Ellsworth states will aid in determining postwar demands upon the University and in making recommendations to the Chancellor, deans, and faculty.
"Much has been said about the Army method of teaching, but it
won't stand up against education with a good background. One can't learn a subject in 8 weeks," said one soldier in reference to his evaluation of short courses and conferences on the campus for special groups. Another stated that he would prefer such courses "in the twilight near Potter Lake."
New ideas were also offered including the suggestion that each school or department of the University should assist students to find summer jobs related to their professional training wherever possible. Another suggested that the first six months of a freshman's training should be used to teach the student who does not already know, how to study and how to learn.
One student felt that he spent too much time filling different group requirements and taking pre-requisite courses to get those that he did want and is now not fitted for work which he is now facing in the service. He agreed with many others that more science courses should be either required or made easily available.
"Not enough cultural acquaintance—would like greater knowledge of literature and art so that I can use spare time for release from my surroundings," was the statement of a soldier graduate. "Revise the curricula to provide specific preparation for the newer occupational fields such as social services, foreign languages, and government," advised (continued to page four)

WVC Locates With Red Cross
Headquattrers for the women's volunteer committee will be established in the Red Cross section of the Community building, Mrs. Deane Malott, chairman, said after conferring with Mrs. T. W. Douce of the Red Cross, and Misg Esther Twente of the sociology department at the University.
The organization of the committee, which was announced yesterday by Lt. Col. W. L. McMorriss, commandant of military activities at the University, will deal with the personal affairs of military personnel on duty in Lawrence or whose residence is in the Lawrence area.
All Posts Now Organized
Beginning Monday, the office in the Community building will be open to all army personnel and their dependents, from 1 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Mrs. Wilma Proctor will be in charge of administration matters, Mrs. Malott said.
Women's volunteer committees are being organized at all army posts and stations throughout the country to assist in the work of the personal affairs activities recently established by the War Department, said Col. McMorris. Personal affairs activities assist soldiers and their dependents in personal problems of various kinds, including such matters as pay and allowances, allotments, insurance, death benefits, legal advice, veterans administrations matters, army relief, reemployment upon discharge, and assistance to families while the soldier is overseas.
Cooperates With Red Cross
Institute to Meet For Third Session
The function of the personal affairs division is to be of service to army personnel. Close cooperation will be maintained with the local Red Cross chapter and other welfare organizations in Lawrence which are now functioning effectively in many features of the new army program, Col. McMorris added.
The organization of a home service committee covering such matters as housing, health and hospitalization, family visits, chaplain service, day nursery facilities, and information to men entering the military service, is also being planned by Mrs. Malott. The names of the women who will serve on this army activity will be announced later.
Beginning at 7 p.m. today, Mrs. Anne Livingston, of the National Recreation Association of New York City, will begin the third session of the Wartime Recreational Training Institute sponsored by the physical education department.
The meeting will be on the first floor of Robinson gymnasium.
Third EM Group To Get Diplomas 3:30 Tomorrow
Fifty-three electrician's mates will be graduated from the University Naval Training Station at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. They make up platoon one of company two, the third platoon to be graduated since the school was changed from machinist to electrical training.
Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer, will present two diplomas to each man, one from the training school and one from the University. Addresses will be made by Lieutenant Buhl, Lt. T. R. O'Hara, executive officer, and Lt. Joseph T. Zeller, company commander.
The trainee commander of company two is C. P. Sohngen of Hamilton, Ohio. Section leaders for platoon one of company two are J. E. Geistlinger of Lincoln, Neb., H. L. Champope of Gary, Ind., and D. H. Looney of Dallas, Texas.
Farewell addresses will be given by Lieutenant O'Hara, Lieutenant Buhl, and Lieutenant Zeller. A string ensemble composed of trainees will present several numbers.
A farewell banquet will be held for platoons one and two of company two at 7 tonight at the Lawrence Community building. Platoon two will be graduated from the training school on Friday, June 2.
Shirley Rauch, senior in the College, and Dorothy Mace Nelson, music instructor at Lawrence Memorial high school, will sing.
Washington, (INS)—A developing crisis in the manpower situation and an increasing tendency for workers to strike and a lowered morale of American fighting men who "believed the homefolk are letting them down" was pictured to the senate military affairs committee today.
War Production Board chairman Donald M. Nelson, Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal, and undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson sounded the warning.
Striking Protested In Senate Hearing
All three officials endorsed the bill under which men between 18 and 45 who leave war jobs without permission or fail to take war jobs on request will be inducted into special army units.
Subscribers Can Get Jayhawk Covers Now
Leather covers for the 1944 Jayhawker may be obtained now by subscribers, any afternoon in the Jayhawker office, Mary Morrill, editor of the magazine, has announced. Although students are allowed somewhat of a choice in the color of their cover, most of the covers made this year are of light blue leather.
The predominant design is a modern artist's conception of a Jayhawker. The four-colored photograph on the cover is of Fraser hall.

Kansan to Publish "Pee Wee"
The annual Journalism honors award banquet is still three weeks off, but already, something in the air around the "shack" indicates that press day for the Pee Wee Kansan is approaching.
Printed for journalism students and distributed at their places on the night of the banquet, the Pee Wee Kansan is read eventually by almost as many students as see the daily edition of the University paper.
The Pee Wee Kansan is popular because in it appears everything frustrated journalism students have been wanting to say all year long. Censored Rock Chalk stories, filler jokes that didn't quite get by, names students have been calling professors—all this and more come out in black and white when the Pee Wee Kansan hits the press.
The secret of the Pee Wee Paper, printed exactly like the Kansan on paper about one half the size, is that it has no censorship. Students —no one ever knows quite which ones—write and edit it. And in the past, they have let their hair down at the task.
Last year the publication was done by men in the department. With only one man journalist this year, the paper will be the work of women, and will undoubtedly prove something significant about the two sexes—if only that both are equally talented when it comes to writing copy with questionable meaning.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
According to your published letter of Tuesday's Kansan, there seems to be doubt even in the minds of the worthy majority leaders of the All Student Council as to the legality of the Council's decision to consider the armed forces of the University as full members of the ASC; and as equal-righted students of the University.
There should be no doubt as to the real legality of the rights of the army and navy men as full-righted students of K.U. This right would never have been questioned by the ASC had not the seated members of the PSGL and PWCL parties declared illegal and unconstitutional any action to the contrary. The attitudes on the part of these party members toward the men of the University's armed forces has been, preceding the full voting privileges as voted last week, selfish, strictly partisan and unfair to the highest degree of meaning.
It is interesting to note that the ASC met at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, the very day that the members of the PSGL and the PWCL parties, knowing the ASC would declare all rulings depriving or limiting the voting powers of the armed forces members as unconstitutional, to prevent this action and moved to rescind the bill of the previous day limiting the power of the army and navy men to vote. These partisans also moved that the report of their elections committee be returned for consideration. As was previously pointed out, this motion passed unanimously. To clarify this stand and assure the army and navy their right to vote, the resolution stating that the Council recognize the right of the members of the armed forces to vote was introduced by representatives of the WIGS and PACHACAMAC parties. If the previous motion of the PSGL and the PWCL had given the army and navy men the right to vote, which they strongly inferred in the doctored newsstory in the Kansan of Wednesday, May

KU's Elsa Maxwell — King of all time picnic party men, Hal Hogue, Phi Delt from Kansas State, who has more or less affiliated with the local chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, went the limit Sunday morning when he led a group of sleepy Phi Psi's and dates in a trek to the country for a breakfast picnic deluxe. Hogue said in a recent interview that he is working on blue prints for a midnight snack which he believes will rock local picnic social circles.
***
I'll give you just fifteen minutes to take your hand off my knee"—Illustrating that coeds are really hard up when it comes to the manpower situation, the following names appeared on the Kappa spring formal date list: General Eisenhower and nephew, Charlie Chaplin, Errol Flynn.

Yell Fore, Anyway—It was a hot, hot day all around, and girls on the Chi Omega sun deck were feeling the full glory of the celestial body.
Dr. Elizabeth Wilson, head of the counseling department in the Kansas City, Mo., public schools, will arrive at the University on Saturday to confer with Dean F. T. Stockton of the School of Business; A. H. Turney, professor of education, and Leslie Waters, assistant professor of economics, on the program for the Guidance Institute at the University this summer.
10. this resolution would not have been necessary.
Dr. Wilson to Confer On Guidance Institute
The climate of Japan is temperate and healthful with abundant rainfall.
Dr. Wilson will be on the summer school faculty, continuing her work in guidance and teaching clinical problems in education and non-typical children.
The ASC members of PSGL and PWCL definitely showed in their stands against the resolution now in effect that:
a. The previous resolution had not given the armed members of K.U. the right to vote, although it appeared to do so.
Sincerely yours,
A Student.
The letter of Tuesday's Kansan also failed to state that the navy political leaders who desired the right to vote for their brothers-in-uniform had contacted all four University political parties in pleas that they receive their rightful voting privileges. They found that PSGL and PWCL members were so secure in their electoral office positions and so satisfied with politics of the University as they balanced in their favor, that the beseeching navy leaders were not even given audience. The question concerning the voting privileges of the army and navy was not political until the PSGL and PWCL groups made it so by their constant refusal to accept the uniformed students as equal-righted students of the University.
b. They still placed politics and the winning of the student election above the voting rights of a good portion of the student body, the army and navy men.
The letter published in Tuesday's Kansas by Davis and Engle, president and secretary of the ASC respectively, was strictly out of order and illegal since in order for them to speak for the actions of the ASC, they must be so instructed by the Council. The Council had given no such instructions.
So, when Betty June Craig leaned up gasping, "I just saw a golf ball go over!" loving sisters merely threw her in a cold shower and returned to the deck. Moments later they all saw it—a golf ball sailing in a beautiful are over their heads. A mad dash was made for the shady interior of the chapter house!
It seems a shame to ruin their awed story about "sun spots—or something," but truth must out. What the girls saw really was a golf ball, shot by R. J. Atkinson, Phi Psi, from in front of Marvin hall, on a bet he couldn't do it.
幸福
Call in Sherlock Holmes—The Alpha Chi's are thinking of calling the attention of Midshipman Bob Farley, Annapolis, to their latest unsolvable mystery—simply for the sympathy he might wish to offer, of course! Glennie Jean Waters, ex-Alpha Chi prexy, who wears Bob's Beta pin, some fractured a rib last week, and no one is quite sure how the accident happened.
Four Years Ago Today--ann sorc terd Sj Fla.
Four years ago today in France the Germans, using over 2,000 tanks pressed east and south to Landrielies and the Guise. They reached the Aisne river. They occupied Anwerp, in Belgium, and hoisted the Reich's flag over the Town Hall.
It was also on this date that Premier Reynaud reshuffled the French cabinet, bringing in as Vice Premier and technical adviser on military operations Marshal Henri Phillippe Petain, the man who stopped the Germans at Verdun in the World War. Marshal Petain, then 84, arrived in Paris by plane from Spain, where he had been Ambassador. Reynaud took over the War Ministry, replacing Edouard Daladier, who became Foreign Minister.
War Casualties
The War Department made public today the names of the following Kansans reported missing in the Mediterranean area.

Aeronautics Course For Women to Start June 5; Ninety Enroll
The fourth course in aeronautical engineering offered by the University in cooperation with North American Aviation, Inc., of Kansas City Mo., and the Boeing Airplane Company of Wichita will begin June 5, with approximately 90 women enrolled for training, Prof. H. S. Stillwell of the University Aeronautical engineering department announced yesterday.
The new course will be essentially the same as the third program which ended April 29, with the addition of a special course in production planning for part of the Boeing representatives, Professor Stillwell said.
Women must meet certain standards set up by the war plants to be eligible for the free training. They are sent directly from the companies, and receive salaries of $110 a month while in school.
During the 13-weeks intensified course, women trainees will attend classes in aircraft drafting, aircraft material and processes, applied mathematics, aircraft terminology, and engineering procedures, and analysis of standard parts. The 60 representatives from the Boeing company will also attend a processing laboratory. During the latter part of the program a portion of this group will be selected for the special production planning course.
The new program will continue according to the regular plan of a 48-hour week, Professof Stillwell said. The trainees attend school eight hours a day, six days a week.

Can You Picture KANSAS without Schools?
SINCE 1945
We think of good education for our children as the natural birthright of young Americans but building and administering a fine school system such as that of our state is a gigantic task.
Studies run from kindergarten through the three "R's", to advanced scientific and sociological research. Thousands of teachers are devoting their lives to this work—and to them goes much of the credit for its success. To local and county school boards—to the state officials—goes their share of credit.
We of the Overland Greyhound Lines take pride in your state's educational achievements. We know that our organization is aiding the schools with tax incentives, transportation service. Good education and good transportation have decisive parts to play in the present, as well as the future of the state in the post-war world.

Navy Enlisted Men Beat Officers In Hilarious Softball Game 12-3
Enlisted men of the ship's company of the University Naval Training School gave their superior officers a severe beating last night when they scored 12 runs to 3 made by officers.
Serving as pitcher for the victorious team, James Mullen Dick, electrician's mate trainee instructor, pitched a fast and furious game. His opponent, Ensign R W. Fleming of the supply department, tried hard but was less effective.
Lt. C. A. Michelman, assistant commanding officer of the V-12 unit, had considerable difficulty in his attempts as an outfielder but managed to catch one of two of the would-be home runs and came through with one of the scores for the officers. Lt. T. R. O'Hara, executive officer, spent most of his time warming the substitute's bench.
All in all both teams had a razzing good time. Unlimited substitution was the order of the game, as Chief Yeoman George O. Starkey phrased it. The officers conceded in the eighth inning because of "the unfair advantage of too many runs by the enlisted men's team," according to Lt. C. V. McGuigan, welfare officer.

POLL OF KU---another. "If only this is done, the University will have doubled its value to the state and society," he added.
Would Revise Language Methods
Another student who felt the language department methods needed revision stated, "The language study procedure should be changed so as to de-emphasize construction and emphasize conversation—too many study a long time and can only read."
The need for training in public speaking and writing reports was expressed by a former student now in the army.
Answers from newsletters sent to KU students overseas have not yet been received. Because the Alumni Association does not have the addresses of all the graduates and former students in the services, all will not receive them, but there are plenty left, Mr. Ellsworth said, and he added that he would be glad to send one to any serviceman if his campus friend will leave the address in the alumni office.

Net Squad Will Meet Iowa State
An untested tennis squad of V-12 trainees will go to Ames, Iowa, Saturday for their first Big Six match under Kansan colors.
Representing the University are Joseph W. Brasch, Spokane, Wash.; Edison B. Shive, Independence; Vance Reynolds, Bellingham, Wash.; and Kenneth C. Mattley, Plevna, ranking in the order named.
Four singles matches and two doubles will be played.
Iowa State may prove really tough competition. In its first intercollegiate meet May 9, the Cyclones on their home courts beat Minnesota 6 to 3. Singles men, Dave Haneighen and Harold Johnson paced the Cyclones to win both their sets against the best Minnesota had to offer, and the hosts won five of the six singles matches. Minnesota won the three doubles pairings by close margins.
The University squad has been showing up well in spring practice and is expected to give a good account of itself, according to Coach R. S. Howey.

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Besides the conference track meet at Lincoln, Saturday, the Big Six athletic committee will also convene in the Cornhusker city. Several rumors have been floating around that Navy trainees will be barred from participating with any conference school. No doubt the schools behind this movement are those without trainees: Kansas State, Missouri, and Nebraska, especially the latter. Of course, these three universities for the most part have taken a beating in athletics the past year and probably feel that their complaint is justified.
We don't think the civilian teams would want that. No one can give anything but praise to the non-Navy teams for the manner in which they carried on in the past year. Missouri even proved to be one of the best football teams in the Big Six and certainly gave their basketball opponents many anxious moments.
However, other colleges and universities over the nation are using their Navy men extensively to put teams on the field. The Big Six has suffered loss of prestige during the past two years as outside teams have been winning over conference teams rather consistently. If Navy men were taken from the conference, its teams would have an even harder time winning from foreigners. Teams such as Oklahoma and Iowa State, with Navy trainees, have been carrying on the Big Six tradition of being one of the strongest loops in the country. But stripped of their Navy men, they would hardly be able to continue their winning ways, and the conference would become a joke'.
Then there is the fact that the Navy encourages athletic participation for physical fitness purposes. If Navy trainees are deprived of their chance to compete in intercollegiate athletics, they will lose the valuable training and the competitive spirit that goes with sports.

TODAY'S EDITORIAL
☆ ☆ ☆
A "mad dog" or rabies scare is again sweeping the country. Although there are state laws requiring rabies inoculations for dogs, several Kansas counties, including Douglas, are now under quarantine. One Lawrence dog, after biting several others, was found to have the disease. It is well that the local quarantine was finally put into effect.
Rabies Menace Sweeps Mid-West
Rabies causes one of the most horrible and convulsive deaths, preceded by a few days of fever, frothing at the mouth, and loss of sanity. It is always fatal if treatment is not started early. The onset of the disease is characterized by nightmares, mental depression, and restlessness. Hydrophobia (fear of water) develops within 24 to 48 hours after the disease begins; the patient has terrible convulsions in the attempt to swallow water. The Pasteur treatment for rabies is a preventive, not a cure, and is in itself dangerous. It makes most patients seriously ill, and is fatal in one per cent of the cases.
The point stressed by doctors in case of dog-bite is that the animal should not be killed. It should be caught and held for observation. The incubation period for rabies in dogs is from 15 to 30 days. The human period lasts from 50 to 60 days, so that if the dog does show positive rabies, there is still time to treat the victim. If it is necessary to shoot the dog, its head should be sent to a laboratory for analysis.
The rabies problem has been controlled in Great Britain and Scandinavia where it has been virtually eliminated through a program calling for the destruction of ownerless dogs and the muzzling of all others allowed on the streets. Most American cities have ordinances giving authorities the same power to control the dog menace, but the laws are commonly disregarded.
DR. H. A. JACK--to address members of the journalism department. Tuesday Mr. Cartlich decided that since he was to speak later that afternoon he would not talk at the luncheon, and Shack rats decided to wait until the afternoon meeting to hear him. Unaware of the change in plans, Pat arrived at the Colonial at the appointed hour, and was met at the door by members of the faculty, who asked her to "come right on in and join the party."

Our Gratitude for the Co-operation of Mr. T.-When occupational therapy students chose the book, "Tom Sawyer" for the basis of their big spring puppet-show production, they found some revamping was necessary to make the play fit their stage. The co-authors, who have met and conquered at least a hundred major problems to date in their adaptation of the script, have titled the masterpiece:

Three Teams Leave For Big Six Meets
Members of three University athletic teams will leave tonight for two different destinations where they will compete tomorrow in their respective sports.
Sixteen members of the track team, including 11 V-12 trainees, will go to Lincoln, Neb., for the Big Six outdoor track and field meet. Iowa State has emerged as favorites to cop the title, but Kansas, Oklahoma, and possibly Missouri are expected to furnish plenty of trouble for the Cyclones.
About the only record likely to fall is the high jump mark of 6 feet 3/8 inches. Tom Scofeld, Jay-hawk star, has bettered that several times this year and may be able to set a new record.
Others Expect to Score
Other probable point winners are Robert Lillibridge, in the dashes, and broad jump; Frank Stannard in the hurdles; Jim Richey in the 440 and relays; Harvey Morrow in the pole vault; LeRoy Robison in the javeline; and Bob Isaacson in the dashes.
The Jayhawks chances will depend on their ability to pick up some points in the middle distance runs to go with their consistent showing in the field events.
The baseball and tennis teams will have their initial tests Saturday

The tennis team under the direction of R. S. Howey will also play the first match this season Saturday. The four men representing Mt.

Army and Navy Able to Attend K Club Varsity
All army and navy trainees who wish to attend the K Club Varsity, featuring Jan Savitt and his orchestra, Friday, June 2, will be given liberty that night, commanding officers of the various military units have announced.
Permission for the trainees to attend the dance was obtained by members of the K Club from Lt. Randolph O'Neal, commanding officer of V-5, Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer of the Electricians Mates and V-12's, and Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant of the University ASTP units.
Ticket sales for the dance went on sale today at the business office, with Harold "Sparky" McSpadden in charge.
Savitt and his Tophatters will play at Hoch auditorium. His orchestra, famous for its shuffle rhythm and popular dance appeal, has broadcasted over the three major networks, and has made recordings for Victor. A large crowd is expected to attend the dance, which will be the last varsity of the year.
Local Stores Change Hours to Aid Farmers
Students expecting to do any last-minute shopping after their 5:30 classes will be out of luck after Wednesday, May 31, Chamber of Commerce officials declared today.
On that date sumer closing hours for Lawrence stores will go into effect, and their doors will be locked at 5:30 in the evening. If the students are ambitious, though, they may get up a little earlier and do their shopping in the morning as the stores will be open at 9 a.m. a half hour earlier than usual.
This change was made necessary as merchants and clerks are needed to help on the farms in the surrounding area. After closing hours men will go out to nearby farms and work until dark or later, helping farmers harvest their crops. Farmers declared this was a great aid to them during the labor shortage last year.
Lawrence merchants also agreed to remain closed on Memorial Day, May 30.
Navy Trainees Don 'Whites' Saturday
Navy Trainees, appearing for the first time in their white uniforms Saturday, completed the students change to summer attire on the campus. Most civilian students put away their "heavies" several weeks ago.
Last Friday the announcement was that trainees would appear in "whites" this Wednesday, but "Ole Man Weather" took the situation in hand and made the change still earlier.
Normally the "whites" are not officially worn until June 1. Because of the unusually hot weather, Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer, decreed Saturday that the order of dress for the day would be white uniforms.
Kesselring Attempts To Hold Terracina; Marguis Isles Hit
(International News Service)
Field Marshall Albert von Kesselring threw all of his available mobile reserves into action today in a determined attempt to hold the Tyrrhenian seacoast town of Terracina, dispatches from the Italian front reported.
East of Terracina Canadian forces repulsed Nazi counterassaults and scored a new advance. French troops beat off counterthrusts at Pico and were reported to have driven through the "whole forward edge of the Hitler line."
The Allied pre-invasion aerial offensive against Occupied-Europe continued in unbroken strength. American fortresses blasted the German naval base at Kiel while liberators pounded the Pas de Calais invasion coast district. German broadcasts reported Allied raiders and air battles over Lubeck and Schleswig-Holstein.
The Marquis islands carrier task force operations reported by Tokyo lacked official advises from Washington. American warships apparently dove in close to the heavily fortified Bonin island and then sent bombing planes to blast the Marquis group.
Chinese-American troops on the Burma front sealed the last escape for Japanese forces at Kyitkyina. American troops on Wake island off New Guinea crushed remaining Japanese resistance.
Club Plans Display And Makes Lists At Buffet Sunday
Eleven KU students from Harvey county attended a buffet supper at the home of Dean and Mrs. Paul B. Lawson last night. Barbara Barnjum, College junior, member of the Student Statewide Activities Commission, and chairman of Harvey county club, conducted the business meeting.
The club, which is a division of the SSAC, arranged for the showing of a display board in Halstead and Newton, advertising the University and illustrating the various courses and activities offered here. They also made plans to compile a list of Harvey county high school graduates interested in going to college and to find out there interests.
It was also announced that a list was found of former Harvey county men from KU now in the service. This list will be used by the club in writing letters to these service men, and will be used to improve the files in the alumni association office.
"Birth of a Nation," which will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Fraser theater, will be introduced by Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and drama. He will explain the motion picture techniques, used for the first time in David W. Griffith's production, said Joy Miller, chairman of Forums Board, which is sponsoring the film.
Entertainment and games followed the business meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ellsworth and Miss Maud Ellsworth of the School of Education were guests.

ASC Apportions Representatives By Districts
At a special meeting Thursday night, the All-Student Council accepted a corrected report submitted by the election committee, which includes a clause making legal the vote of members of the armed forces stationed at the University of Kansas, Clarence Engle, secretary of the Council, announced Friday. Apportionment figures for the spring election, June 1, were readopted according to last year's plan, Engle said. District 1, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will elect one man and seven women to the ASC; District 2, the School of Engineering, will elect four men; district 3, which includes the Graduate School and the Schools of Fine Arts, Education, Business and Pharmacy, will elect one man and two women; and District 4, the Schools of Law and Medicine, will elect one man.
A bill authorizing the establishment of a check cashing agency on the campus was introduced for first reading Thursday night by the public relations committee. A bill under consideration of the Council must undergo three readings before action can be taken.
Waltz Arrangements Head Band Program
The concert program scheduled for next Monday evening in Hoch auditorium by the University Band will last approximately an hour and a half, Russell Wiley, director, estimates.
Outstanding among the 14 numbers on the program will be an arrangement of waltzes from "Die Fleddermaus" by Johann Straaus, and "A Manx Overture" by Hayden Wood, built around folk melodies from the Isle of Man, said Professor Wiley. The band will also play "Scene du Bal," from "Miniature Suite," by Eric Coates.
The 75-piece band, including V-12 musicians is working daily in sectional and regular rehearsals in preparation for the concert. The rehearsals will be concluded with a four to five hour dress rehearsal Sunday evening.
Thieves Steal Tire From Auto On Oread
Activity tickets will admit students to the concert, Prof. Wiley said.
While University janitors looked on, two men stole a tire and rim of an automobile belonging to employees of the Memorial Union from in front of the Union at 6 a.m. today. The two men drove around the campus on a rim and gained attention, but they were not stopped when they transferred the tire and rim from the parked car to their own Chevrolet sedan. The abandoned rim was found by police near the Country Club.
Tennis Deadline Set for May 27 Games in the fifth round of the women's intramural tennis doubles must be played off by May 27.

TODAY'S EDITORIAL Chinese Look to U.S. for Freedom
For more than five years a united China has kept fighting the Japanese; fighting in a way that military men of much more magnificently equipped armies do not even begin to understand. The Chinese are fighting in the irregular way in which revolutionary armies, according to history, without equipment have always had to fight. Their army might even be compared to the army headed by George Washington in the winning of our independence.
At the time the United Kingdom and the United States entered the war on the side of China, the latter thought the end of her struggle might be near. But today the Japanese are stronger than ever in the Far East and the Chinese supply base in Burma is gone.
Doublessly the energy for fighting such a war as the Chinese have so far fought must come basically from a revolutionary faith in themselves and the things for which they fight.
Dr. T. V. Soong, minister of foreign affairs, in a recent talk on the preliminary steps toward a workable world order, said, not only do the Chinese have the necessary faith in themselves to wage the tragic war of the east, but they also have a strong faith in us Americans and our allies. China knows that, being a comparatively weak nation, she will have a back seat in the laying of groundwork for the postwar peace.
"However," said Dr. Soong, "the Chinese are sure that the kind of a world that the American Revolution and the Chinese Revolution can together create will be a world in which Chinese children can live as well as American children."
China is only one of the more outstanding nations, now subjugated and torn from enemy attacks and ravages, that is hourly being drained of its life blood. With one eye on the enemy, keeping his advance slowed to a minimum, these nations keep their other eye glued to the direction of the United Nations watching hopefully for the aid they faithfully believe forthcoming—the aid in such proportions that it will drive the enemy from their lands and homes and free them to live in peace again.
Such a responsibility as thrust upon us is not necessarily an unfair one, since part of the task of playing the paternal role in world affairs must be the nurturing of the weak and the punishing of the tyrannically strong.
Brewster Article Published by State
An article by Dr. R. Q. Brewster entitled "Chemical Utilization of Kansas Resources," appears in the thirty-third biennial report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture.
Stressing the fact that utilization of certain resources is still in the experimental stage. Dr. Brewster looks forward to the successful future operation of many of these industries.
Through the pioneer caurage of leading Kansans, many from our own chemistry department, many agriculture products have been used by industry. Products from coal, petroleum, grains, and even from the salt industries have been used successfully.

Washington, —(INS)—President Roosevelt predicted a final overwhelming Allied attack against warning military strength this summer. Russian forces wil strike from the east in crushing strength, he told congress and the nation, while American and British forces lash from the British isle and the Mediterranean area.
The blue print for European invasion was given by Mr. Roosevelt in his 15th report on Lend-Lease operation.
Fighting on the eastern front, the President declared, is closely interrelated with action on the west and will continue to be so.
Vocal solos and two-piano numbers were featured at the regular student recital of the School of Fine Arts Thursday afternoon in Fraser theater.
Fine Arts Students Give Regular Recital
The whereabouts of the pin remains unknown.
Opening the vocal numbers was Beverly Reitz, Fine Arts special student, with "Into the Night" (Clara Edwards), and "Rain! Rain! Rain!" (Vera Gay). Edwin Tolle, Fine Arts freshman sang "Even Bravest Heart" from Faust (Gounod). "The Homing Heart" (Malotte) and "Hills" (La Forge) were the vocal numbers sung by Leona Moreland, Fine Arts junior.
Dorothy Shoup, Fine Arts junior, played the first movement of "Concerto in A Minor" (Mac Dowell) with Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of piano, assisting in the orchestral parts at the second piano.
Concluding the program, Margaret Dunn, Fine Arts graduate student, presented "Concerto in B flat" (Brahms), and Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, accompanied her at a second piano with the orchestral parts.
Fifteen Quill Members Attend Picnic in Pinckney Park

Senior Physical Tests To Start Wednesday
Routine physical examinations will be offered to graduating seniors each day beginning on Wednesday of this week, said Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson today.
Seniors who expect to go into such positions as teaching or industry, where a physical examination is a requirement for employment, should telephone the hospital for an appointment.
Because of the reduction in the hospital staff in the past few years, it has been necessary to discontinue the practice of offering routine physical examinations to all seniors. However, at the present time the health service work is somewhat lighter than it has been, and the staff will be able to give a few senior examinations each day.
Dr. Canuteson would also like to remind all the students that they are entitled to their immunization tests such as typhoid, small pox, and diptheria, as these tests are included in the health fee. He suggested that any students who had not taken these tests, take them before final week begins.

Students to Spend Vacations at Home, O.D.T. Forecasts
There will be no available gasoline for trips.
University students who have visions of spending their summers in distant places, as they have in the past, are destined to a rude awakening if the forecasts of the Office of Defense Transportation are true
It is likely there will be no available space on trains.
After the invasion, travelers will find themselves greatly restricted. Trains will be used for the return of the wounded. There will be no possibility of standing in the aisles for there will be no aisles to stand in.
The Office of Defense Transportation literally "blew up" when it discovered that 11 conventions are scheduled for Topeka this summer. The ODT repeatedly has requested that conventions be postponed, Col. J. Monroe Johnson, director, explained.
A somewhat different problem confronts student organizations. Many already have cancelled their national meetings for two or three years, and unless they are given some kind of continuing organization at the end of four years they will have omitted a complete cycle of associated students.

Cyclones Take Big Six Meet, Kansas Second
Iowa State with 67 points and Kansas University with $56 \frac{1}{2}$ completely dominated the Big Six track and field meet held Saturday at Lincoln. The title was the first that the Cyclones have ever won in track.
The meet was a battle between the team strength of Iowa State and the individual performers of the Jayhawks. Oklahoma finished third place with $34^{1/2}$ points, Missouri took fourth with $32^{1/2}$, Nebraska fifth with $24^{1/2}$, and Kansas State in last place with nine.
Points were awarded on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis and although the Cyclones counted only two first places to the Jayhawks seven, the Iowaans scored heavily in the other places to mark up their total.
No records were broken, partly due to rainy weather conditions, but the times in the running events were good considering the track condition.
Kansas had brilliant individual performances by Bob Isaacson, who won both dashes; Tom Seofeld, broad and high jump winner; Frank Stannard, winner of both hurdle races; and LeRoy Robison, javelin winner. Iowa State's two firsts were in the half-mile run and the mile relay.

The game was the first of the season for the Jayhawks whereas the Cyclones had played six games before Saturday's contest.
Kansas took an early lead when Corder, first man up in the game, singled and was sacrificed to second by Smith; he then scored on a single by Farber. The Jayhawks scored again in the second and the fourth, while the Cyclones were scoring 7 runs in the first 3 innings. The winners again went on a scoring spree in the sixth when they tallied 7 more runs. The Iowans made 12 hits to the Jayhawks 5

Twelve members of the University faculty have given a total of thirty addresses this spring at high school commencement and baccalaureate exercises in Kansas and Missouri, Guy V. Keeler, director of the extension division, told a Kansan reporter yesterday. The University receives many requests each year for speakers, Keeler said, and this year the demand has been as great as ever, in spite of war transportation difficulties.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has given the most addresses this spring, with a record of five talks in five days last week. From May 15 to May 19 he spoke to graduating classes in Garnett, Halstead, Belle Plaine, Jarbalo and Sabetha. Forrest C.

Martin Tells Effect From War on Speech
(continued to page four)
Speech defects caused from brain injuries received on the battle fronts will cause a major problem in the post-war world, said Dr. Martin Palmer of the Institute of Logopedics at the University of Wichita, yesterday in a speech before the Psychology Club.
Research for corrections of this type of speech defect has not been adequate to date. Dr. Palmer stated. As each case must be treated in respect to its particular characteristics, a greater problem is created.
The field of the diagnosis and treatment of speech defects is a relatively new one, especially in regard to defects (sed from brain injuries, he said, and many more people are needed to conduct experiments and research.
Class Whistle Installed in 1912
Although the whistle had been used for many years to get students out of bed in the morning at 7:45, and to get them into bed at night as a curfew, it was not until March 25, 1912, that the class whistle on the power house blew for the first time.
Allies Begin New Offensive In Italian Battle
(International News Service)
Allied forces in the shell-pocked Anzio-Nettuno beachhead opened a smashing offensive today coincident with new advances against the concrete and steel Adolph Hitler line by the main bodies of Fifth and Eighth Army troops.
In its first communique announcing the start of the new offensive Allied headquarters said pointedly, "The battle for Italy has started upon a new phase." It added however, that as yet no details of the fighting have been received. The Swiss radio reported that the Allies had gained almost four miles in the first few hours of fighting.
The sky blows against Hitler Europe from the west by daylight followed a 1000-plane RAF night attack. The greatest fighter escort ever sent out on a single mission including more than 1000 planes accompanied by 750 heavy bombers on raids against Germany and France resulted in probably the lowest losses ever suffered on an aerial mission of such strength.
Only three bombers and three fighters were lost.
On the other side of the world, Chinese troops launched a full scale counteroffensive on Honan province against Japanese forces which have been pushing ahead there for several weeks. Official sources said General Chiang Kai-shek's men are now moving ahead in three columns.
Keeler Christens LCT Vessel Friday
When Guy V. Keeler, director of engineering, science, management war training, taught a youth algebra in high school a number of years ago, little did he realize he was establishing a friendship which made possible his privilege of christening a LCT vessel at Leavenworth Friday. The youth, now superintendent of the Leavenworth plant, building the war vessels, not only allowed Keeler to christen the boat, but to accompany the crew on the test run on the Missouri river.
Servicemen who have been discharged from the armed forces are beginning to come back to this campus reported Dean J. O. Jones of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Two new students, Donald Green and Jack Westland, have already enrolled and Dean Jones said that he received word that a former student, Charles McGinness, and a new student, Harold Timmerman, will enroll July 1.

Tito of Yugoslavia Wages Terrific War
Tito has become a real challenge to Adolph Hitler. He is the Marshall of Yugoslavia, supreme commander of the National Liberation army and the Partisan detachments, and chairman of the National Defense commission. Until the Nazis entered the Balkans and broke Yugoslavia into several parts, Tito was not known as the leader he is today. He began leading the forces of the Yugoslavs against the Germans when the Chetniks under General Draja Mihailovich apparently exhausted their power. When the Germans first fought Tito's men, they treated them as spies and traitors, but now consider them as enemies to be fought on large scale.
Tito is 55 years old, though he looks much younger. He has a strong face and a boldly carved profile. He speaks several Slavic tongues besides his native Croation, and German, Russian, and French. He reads English fluently, but seldom speaks it for fear he will make mistakes.
Tito's forces are all Yugoslavs while the Chetniks, the other guerrilla group in Yugoslavia, headed by General Mihailovich, represents only Serbians. The Chetniks were the first forces to fight against the Germans, but according to Winston Churchill, they allowed themselves to make accommodations with Italian and German troops which resulted in their doing very little fighting against the enemy. Last week a communique was issued from Tito's headquarters stating that General Mahailovich was personally in command of a German-Quisling offensive in West Bosnia against Tito's Partisan forces. The communique said the Chetniks "are well provided with ammunition, tanks, and trucks by the Germans."
The Yugoslav Marshal has declared that his forces will fight with the Allies until the German and other conquerors are annihilated. As far as postwar organization is concerned Tito has declared that "It is our wish to continue closest friendship and collaboration with our allies after the war."W.T.

Construction Nearing End In Observatory Move
Preliminary steps in the plan to move the University observatory to the roof of Lindley hall are nearing completion. Construction necessary in the movement of the small telescope was begun six weeks ago but was delayed because of rain and shortage of help. However, it will be finished in two or three weeks. N.W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, estimated.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Rain or Shine — The Theta Tau picnic of Saturday night will long be remembered by those who attended, as having not one dull moment. After listening to a blow by blow account we can understand the sentiment.
Six o'clock p.m. Saturday arrived, accompanied by a drenching downpour, and the picknickers boarded two hayracks, one the regulation high walled type drawn by horses, and the other a streamlined version with rubber tires and powered by mules.
The climax came when, wet but gorged the party waited—in vain—for the hayracks to return. The boys finally had to call cabs to take the girls home.
On arriving at the delightful spot somewhere north of Lawrence, the picknickers adjourned en mass to a small shelter house, which, it was later discovered was quite unprepared for the roaring fire immediately built there. After several attempts at frying steaks in the smoking inferno the engineers gave it up, and took the meat to the Pit to be cooked. Dinner was served at 9 p.m.
A New One — Last week Harriet Leake swallowed a pin. Alarmed Foster hall sisters rushed her to the hospital at once, where 12 X-rays were taken, and Harriet was granted a pass allowing her to miss classes, closing hours, and other inconveniences. For a week the search has continued, and—no pin. Fosterites are withholding their sympathy at the moment for a little more proof.
Helping Hand — Sigma Kappas presented a back-to-nature scene at their party Saturday night, with farmerrete pinafores for atmosphere, and hay as the decorative item in abundance. At 12 o'clock the SK's took one look at their ripe and ready-for-reaping chapter house, a second look at their dates, and everyone pitched in. By closing time the chapter house was completely harvested.
***

Two for the Price — Pi Phi's also entertained with an informal party Friday night, technically a no-date affair. Most of the guests had a special reason in mind for attending, however, and the climax came when Bob Malott, Beta, and Buckey Edmondson, Sigma Chi, made their entrance, in search of the same reason—Pat Tuller. Pat spent a busy and, quote — unamusing — unquote, evening.
Mu Phi Opera Plays To Full House Again
"Hansel and Gretel" again played to a full house in its concluding performance at 8 p.m. yesterday, and Mu Phi Epsilon's presentation of the well-known opera was acclaimed by many to be the outstanding music event of the year.
--alone measured six feet across. This species has been found more abundantly in Kansas than in any other plains state. Ox-like, the latifrons must have weighed as much as 2000 pounds.
Heading the cast with their outstanding performances were Mary Louise Beatie as Gretel and Miss Jeannette Cass as the Witch. Suzanne Schmidt as Hansel and Ruth Russell as the mother were also excellent in their parts.
Favorite scenes, as with the audience, Sunday afternoon, were "The Children's Prayer" and the dream sequence of the second act. The colorful finale, showing the freeing of the Gingerbread Children from the Witch's spell and the arrival of the mother and father, concluded the opera amid the rejoicing of cast and the hearty applause of the audience.
"Hansel and Gretel" this year took the place of the annual Mu Phi Epsilon spring vespers. Members of the honorary music society sang in the opera and also took charge of costumes and properties.

American 'Buffalo' Is Bison; Dyche Exhibits Them Stuffed
(Editor's note: To interest readers in Dyche museum, the Daily Kansan is presenting a series of six short articles dealing with animals that once lived in our state but today are largely extinct. Specimens of these animals are on exhibition in Dyche museum at the present time. Bison, elephants, mastodons, camels, rhinoceroses, and horses will be discussed. Today we present the bison).
"Buffalo" Bill Cody was quite a cowboy. But his name was all wrong. If the pioneers had been up on their toes, they would have called him "Bison" Bill, and all would have been correct. Because, technically speaking, there "ain't no seek animale" as the American buffalo.
Seven bison species in all migrated to America. The largest was the bison latifrons, whose horns
Those woolly mammals which the pioneers and the Indians hunted on the plains were bison, which is another thing entirely. The only real buffalo in the world is the water buffalo of India and the cape buffalo of South Africa. Bison bear only a slight resemblance to these animals.
WANT ADS
Bison started out from Siberia quite a few centuries ago in the Ice age. A land connection is supposed to have existed between Siberia and Northern America, and over this the bison migrated southward into the plains region. A member of the ox family, it is the only specimen of that group that ever reached America as a wild animal.

At Dyche museum are many excellent displays of the bison. The evolution from the latifrons down to the present day American bison is interesting even for an amateur to observe. Even the horns tell a story. On the earliest specimen the heavy horns, each measuring three feet in length, extend straight out from the skull. In later specimens shown, the horns have gradually become shorter. They have curved in order (continued to page three)

Poco Frazier has constructed in Dyche many miniature true-to-life scenes showing the animals of long ago in their natural habitat. In one scene a family group of bison are realistically shown. The female is watching over her little calf while the bull, nearby, is attempting to protect his family from a large wolf. Masses of long, shaggy, rust-colored hair cover the head and forequarters of the body, giving the bison its ferocious look. The short but massive horns curve inward. It is easy
Today, a few thousand bison are all that remain of a once mighty tribe. Rapidly nearing extinction, they stand as one more example of man's interference with the balance that nature intended to keep on this earth.

K.U.-Air Base Game Is Today
The University of Kansas baseball team meets the Herington army air base here this afternoon at 3:30. This will be the second game of the season for the Jayhawks, and will be played under newly appointed coach, Elmer Schaake.
Little is known of the army team, but they are expected to be a strong opponent. The Kansas team will have had a three day rest since their curtain-raiser against Iowa State at Ames, last Saturday, and should have a little more confidence on the field today. The team had natural first-game litters at Ames.
Coach Schaake intends to start about the same lineup that played in the Cyclone game, with a few exceptions. Saffell pitched a good game Saturday despite a sore finger hurt in the first inning, but will probably rest today to give it a chance to heal and then be ready for this Saturday's contest with the Sedalia air base. Slipsager will probably get the call for mound duty.
The infield has been the best thing about the ball club with Corder and Wolett looking especially good. Rohrbaugh has been good on first, and has shown he can hit. Gaba will be on third base. The outfield will probably be Scalzo, Smith, and Farber, who also has shown his ability to get the base hits. At the catching spot will either be Sinclair or Dahleen.
The Jayhawks are coming along and are gradually shaping into a ball club with some strong potentialities.
Tennis, Horeshoe Games Being Played
Preliminary rounds in the intramural tennis and horseshoe tournaments were held last week, with second and third rounds due to be completed before Saturday night. Semi-finals and final matches must be played before June 3. Eight second round games are scheduled for both of the tournaments.
An intramural track and field meet, consisting of fourteent events, will be held Friday afternoon at five e'clock.
Team Managers to Discuss Intramural Track Meet
An intramuralurs managers' meeting will be at 4:30 p.m. today in the physical education office at Robinson gymnasium, George Dick, senior in the School of Education, announced this morning. The group will discuss the intramural track meet scheduled for Friday, May 26, in which the men's organized houses will participate.

Bert Brandt Gets Set To Take War Pictures
"If it hadn't been for some mighty generous people in Lawrence, I'd not be here in London with the greatest opportunity of my life ahead of me," said newspaper correspondent and University graduate, Bert Brandt, in a letter from England to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
Brandt, has been in Italy for the past seven months covering the Italian campaign for Acme News-pictures Inc., and is now in London awaiting the second front. He was graduated in 1939, after working his way through school with his camera by taking pictures for the Jayhawker and the Sour Owl, a former student publication. He was also a quarter-miler and spinner of the University track team.
That he was the favorite campus photographer in those days was evidenced by the generosity displayed when Brandt lost all his cameras and clothes in a fire at his boarding house. At this time the students took up a collection and bought him a new press camera; Dean Henry Werner, lent him money for clothes; and the women of a sorority, whose beauty Brandt had illustrated in one of the campus publications, invited him to live in their house until he could find other accommodations. Brandt boasts today that he is the only man ever to receive such an invitation.
War Correspondent Has Fun
After he was graduated, Brandt was manager in Kansas City for Acme Newspictures, Inc. Later he worked for the same syndicate in Washington and New York. Last year he was sent to Italy as a member of the American Photographers pool. Some of his best pictures have been published in many of the nation's newspapers and magazines.
"War correspondent work is like a lot of jobs, fun at times, hard work at times, and maybe sometimes just a trifle dangerous," Brandt said. "I was in on most of the fighting up to Cassino and saw quite a bit of action around there as well as at San Vittore and some of the other towns we took on our way up bloody Highway 6," he said.
Brandt told of many narrow escapes in his letter to Mr. Ellsworth. While covering landings on an Italian beachhead he dived under a buldozer to escape dive-bombing Germans; but they machine-gunned
his protecting cover, and oil from the machine poured down on him.
"I didn't mind the clothes so much," he said, "but I hated having a perfectly good camera ruined."
Brandt said that he spent a month on the beachhead and his ship was straffed as they left. From this experience he exhibits a bullet hole in his camera.
He Traveled 23.000 Miles
"K.U. students certainly get around," the photographer declared. Brandt believes he proves this point by the fact that in the past seven months he has traveled 23,000 miles "by boat, train, jeep, plane, ox cart, motorcycle, landing craft, and good old shanky ponies."
Brandt said that he is now planning a reunion "in an English substitute for Bricks" with Sgt. John Randolph Tye, a College graduate in 1939, who is now in the air corps public relations at one of the bases in England.
During this time he has become acquainted with Eisenhower, Montgomery, Tedder, Doolittle, Spaats, and even Churchill.
Prof. Ryther Still III With Throat Infection
T. C. Ryther, superintendent of the University press and journalism instructor, who has been ill for the past two weeks, is still at his home with a throat infection and probably will not be able to return to his classes until the first of next week, according to his doctor. Elmer F. Beth, acting head of the department, is taking over Mr. Ryther's classes in his absence.
TWELVE FACULTY---addresses. Dr. Schwegler spoke at commencement exercises May 18 at Linwood and gave the baccalaureate address April 29 at Effingham. Professor Buehler made commencement addresses May 13 at Effingham and May 18 at Beattie.
(continued from page one)
Three other faculty members have each made one address. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, spoke at Rock Creek, May 18; Gerald L. Pearson, field representative of the University extension division, made an address May 18 at Burton; and Roy W. Browning Field Representative of the extension division, delivered the commencement address May 18 at Doniphan.

OWL SHOW Saturday Night SUNDAY----4 Days MARIA MONTEZ JON HALL "THE COBRA WOMAN" in Technicolor
He Joined the Navy and Saw World But Lamkin Wants to Be a Doctor
"Join the navy and see the world!" They weren't kidding when they said that to Dorwin "Doc" Lamkin, now of PT7 and late of Pearl Harbor, Attu, Tarawa, Wake Island, and other parts of the Pacific battle area. He joined the navy to see danger.
He joined the navy when he was 18, just after he was graduated from high school at Hutson, Wis., in 1940. After boot camp at Great Lakes, he was sent to Bremerton, Wash. There he boarded the U.S.S. Nevada. He was still on the Nevada when the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. The Nevada was hit and partly sunk. "Doc" was one of the men who stayed on the ship during the bombing and sinking.
Three months ago "Doc" was a pharmacist's mate first class — the next-to-highest rating an enlisted man can have. Now he's an apprentice seaman, the lowest form of navy life. But this is one Mac who's grateful for the chance to go to college. He is in earnest about becoming a doctor.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific fleet gave him a citation for "meritorius work." The commanding officer's citation for work during the attack on Pearl Harbar read "for daring zeal and devotion to duty."
"Doc" first applied for V-12 training last May. After passing two reviewing boards, he made it and came home from the Pacific on a merchant marine ship.
Joined Navy at Fighton
At Pearl Harbor, one of "Doc's division officers, a Bob Rowland from Kansas, was instrumental in helping him get transferred to the medical department. Transferring was difficult because "Doc" had spent a year learning to be a fire control striker, and the navy didn't want him to change jobs. His first week at K. U. he discovered that Bob Rowland is the son of the University book store proprietor.
Bars Show Past Service
Explaining the four bars he wears on his jumper, Doc said, "The yellow one is the American Defense bar for duty at sea before the declaration of war. The striped bar means I've seen active duty in one zone of the American theater of war. The red and yellow bar (yellow for the enemy and red for the rising sun) is an Asiatic Pacific campaign bar. The silver and bronze stars on it mean six engagements. The red bar is a Good Conduct bar—stands for three years of undetected crime."
From March to Nov., 1942, "Doc" was "out of the war" attending hospital corps school and clinical laboratory technicians' school on the west coast. He got back into action, though. He was present at the bombardment of Attu and Kiska and actively engaged in the largest attack on Wake Island. He was at the occupation of Tarawa and Makin Island and participated in the heaviest naval attacks on the Marshall Islands. Kwajalein, Mille, and Watje are more than just names in the news to "Doc." The actual details of the fights are military secrets.
Cruisers See Action
"I was unfortunately on a heavy cruiser, which means we did a lot of fighting," he said. "Out there everything you do is measured against 'Will I be alive tomorrow?'
John Hankins Will Speak Before English Majors
"The biggest thing with the men at sea is that they want to get home to the United States, even above winning the war. About once every 45 minutes a new rumor starts that we're going back to the U. S. I could almost kiss the ground when I landed. It's easy to lose that appreciation, though. Already, in as short a time as I've been here, I'm beginning to take things for granted again."
Prof. John E. Hankins of the English department will speak on "How Poets Write" at the last meeting of the year for English majors at 4:30 Thursday afternoon in room 205 of Fraser hall. Prof. John W. Ashton has announced that all English majors are invited to attend.

Burch Elected CVC General At Large Rally
Joan Burch, College sophomore, was elected general of the Coed Volunteer Corps at a membership meeting of the organization yesterday afternoon. Beverly Jane Waters, also a College sophomore, was elected adjutant general of the Corps. Nearly 400 members of the CVC attended the meeting.
Other officers elected and their offices were: Donna Jean Morris, College freshman, colonel in charge of communications; Barbara Johnson, Fine Arts sophomore, finance colonel; Katharine Kufahl, Fine Arts freshman, classifications colonel; Patricia Scherrer, College junior, medical colonel; Margaret Ott, College sophomore, headquarters colonel; Helen Todd, College freshman, recreations colonel; and Barbara Ann Hays, College freshman, colonel in charge of administration.
These new officers will be installed at a staff meeting of the Corps Thursday night, Betty Jo Neal, past general, announced.
Other women in the race for general were Jean O'Connor, Betty Leibbrand, Virginia Brehm, and Shirley Kelley. In order to be eligible for the office, a student must have at least 63 hours credit in CVC and must have served one term on the general staff. Eligibility for the other offices requires at least 57 hours credit.
Also at yesterday's meeting, the two newly chosen sponsors of the organization were introduced by Miss O'Neal. Miss Winona Venard and Miss Martha Peterson, both instructors in the mathematics department, were elected at the regular meeting of the staff last Thursday to serve as faculty sponsors.
Retiring officers of the organization include Joanne Johnson, adjutant general; Betty Leibrand, communications officer; Beverly Waters, finance officer; and Shirley Kelley, Joan Burch, Virginia Brehm, Mary Louise Rowsey, and Barbara Johnson, colonels.
Fire again threatened destruction of University anatomy equipment when a blaze starting in an awning of the newer section Haworth hall, burned the casing and lower section of a window of the anatomy room about 6:30 last evening.
Anatomy Equipment Threatened by Fire In Haworth Hall
"Had the building been a frame structure as was the old Anatomy building, it probably would have burned to the ground," C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds said. Mr. Bayles was of the opinion that someone carelessly threw a lighted cigaret from an upper window onto the awning.
Damage was estimated at $20.
The No. 1 company of the Law-
rence fire department sent two
trucks to the scene—one of them
the extension ladder and the other
a hose and pumper.
Damage was estimated at $20.
It is the second time in the past year that the anatomy department has been endangered by fire. On March 4, 1943, the old Anatomy building just west of Watson library was completely destroyed by a windblown fire, causing $53,000 worth of damage.
The anatomy department was temporarily housed in Snow hall following the fire, and four months ago it was removed to remodeled quarters in Haworth hall. If the jinx does not continue to endanger anatomy equipment and cadavers, the department will eventually be housed in Lindley hall, the mineral industries building.
Texas Democrats
Split Over Roosevelt
Austin, (INS) — Democracy in Texas was split wide open today by a repudiation of Franklin Roosevelt so sweeping that Roosevelt Democrats attending the Texas party convention in Austin today were forced into a rump session.
'Tardiness Irks Editors', Journalist Warns Girls
Four hundred Roosevelt Democrats walked out of the state convention to set up a rump caucus, and 900 delegates remained to organize and select an uninstructed delegate to the national convention.
Being late to work, even five minutes, is one of the main reasons why women are fired in newspaper press association work, declared Miss Charlotte Ebener, bureau chief of the International News Service office in Kansas City, Mo.
Miss Ebener, guest of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary journalism sorority, at a dinner given last night at the Hearth, talked informally to the members, describing various phases of press association work, methods of obtaining jobs, reasons for women being discharged, and some of her own personal experiences. Miss Ebener is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin's School of Journalism and has been associated with INS for three years.
"Girls also spend too much time in the powder room combing their hair, and consequently are never on hand when you need them," associated this news executive who said
Turkey Refuses To Join Allies, Churchill Says
London, (INS)—With an assurance born of complete confidence in ultimate Allied victory. Prime Minister Winston Churchill today re-announced all hope of Turkish armed co-operation with the United Nations and bluntly warned all unco-operative neutrals that crumbs from the peace table will fall sparingly when the war is won.
Emergencies must find them on hand, willing to give up a date and work for hours overtime, just the same as the men do, and they should never ask special favors because of their sex. Miss Ebener emphasized. As long as they have an agreeable disposition and get along with the rest of the office force, they will have a good chance of retaining their position, according to the speaker.
she was quoting from opinions she had heard male employers express repeatedly. Very few women are fired because of chronic laziness or inefficiency, she said.
Chruchill also spoke warmly of Spain's success in staying out of the war despite attractive Nazi offers which included seizure of Gibraltar.
In a lengthy review to the house of commons he said the United Nations sent $80,000,000 worth of war equipment to Turkey in an attempt to overcome that nation's "over exaggerated attitude of caution." Friendly relations with Turkey continue, and Great Britain appreciates Turkey's action in halting shipment of war-vital chrome to Nazi Germany.
Excellent wages, with frequent increases in salary, as well as the fascination of the job itself, compensate for any "drawbacks," said Miss Ebener.
Territorial changes may be imposed upon defeated Germany the Prime Minister added, and he promised that unconditional surrender alone in store for Japan.
Sterna Surrounded By Allied Troops; Rome Railroad Cut
Following the dinner, the group attended a preview showing of "Birth of a Nation."
Allied troops today threw a steel nutcracker about the communications hub about Sterna, northeast of Anzio, after severing the Appian Way and cutting the electric railroad to Rome.
Tanks and mechanized units led the new offensive which again enjoyed the protection of Allied war planes. Large numbers of enemy tanks were destroyed or damaged as the offensive developed and hundreds of prisoners were taken.
Powerful air formation raked German installations near the fighting front, and squadrons estimated as between 500 and 750 bombers, blasted the Atzgesford aircraft factory and the Munchundorf dromes south of Vienna.
The main Fifth and Eighth Army front scored further advances against the Hitler line and on the coastal sector.
Chinese troops developing their new three-pronged drive in Honan province, captured four cities while other units clung to Loyang. New bombing raids against Japanese positions in the Southwest Pacific were carried out by General Douglas Mac-Arthur's fliers. In India Allied troops cleared additional ground in the Imphal-Kohima area.
J. F. Wilkinses Sing Duets At Commerce Meeting
Prof. and Mrs. J. F. Wilkins, sang two duets at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night. The numbers were "Sweethearts" from "Maytime", and "Song of Love" from "Blossomtime".
The Kiwanis club, the Co-op club and the Rotary club also met with the Chamber of Commerce at this meeting.
'Epic' To Be Premiered In Fraser
Receiving its first public showing in Kansas since it was produced in 1915, "Birth of a Nation" will be presented at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening in Fraser theater by the Student Forums Board. Public sentiment and the Kansas critics have prevented its presentation because it reflects the anti-Negro feeling rampant in the South following the Civil War.
Although University students may think it is sentimental, ridiculously so in spots, although they may laugh when the music accompaniment gets ahead or behind the film, the 1915 silent movie is still considered Hollywood's "bible".
Influences Picture Industry
At a preview showing of the three hour film last night before members of Theta Sigma Phi and Forums Board, Prof. Allen Crafton, department of speech and drama, said the movie has had more influence in the filming of pictures than any other single movie in the world.
Produced in 1915 by D. W. Griffith, the film embodied revolutionary methods of telling a story on the screen. Those methods have been adopted by the entire movie industry, and present procedure in filming pictures has changed little. Flash Backs Introduced
Flash backs, night scenes, outdoor distance scenes, fadeouts, and close-ups were all successfully introduced in the film, and producers since have been having difficulty imitating, even with modern equip-

New Owner Will Open Brick's June 1
Brick's Cafe, located just off the campus on Oread avenue, will be reopened for business soon after June 1, as a result of the purchase of the well known campus eating place by W. E. Murphy. The establishment was temporarily closed in March, with the auctioning of the fixtures.
Formerly owned by J. C. Taylor, Brick's made its first introduction as a campus "accessory" in 1914. Mr. Murphy is the former operator of the Indian Village. He and his family moved to Lawrence from Chanute some time ago.
Only the cafe business was purchased, the building belonging to Mrs. R. J. Rowlands.

TODAY'S EDITORIAL
This Is Our Kansas
Since the war they have come—the welders from California; the soldiers and their families from New York, from Pennsylvania, from Texas the war workers from states all over this vast continent. They come to Kansas on business, to see their beloved ones, or because Washington demands their presence here. Some of them call our people corn-fed; others say our state is barren and flat.
"Where else," they ask, "do they have snow storms one day, dust another, and sunshine the next?" "The people here are so ignorant that they don't know a washing machine from a typewriter," they comment. "Where else do you find that but in Kansas?"
"What's the matter with Kansas?" we ask.
"What's good about it?" they reply.
What's good about Kansas? Let them ask any Kansan, for we are proud of our state. Flat and barren? No, for where else but in Kansas do we see the torch of God when the sun rises in the early morning until it sinks again at night? The leaves on every bush, every shrub, yes, every weed, if you will have it that way, reflect the glory, the clean shining glory of God.
We Kansans corn-fed? The people are good in Kansas! God has taught us to be patient and thankful for the gifts He gives us. We have waited months at a time for a few drops of rain, for our crops to grow, for the dust to stop blowing.
We have great men who love us, great men among us, too. Men from Dr. Hertzler, our "country doctor," to General Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied forces.
We have our great heroes now dead, sung and unsung, Pvt. John Jones, who gave his life at Bataan, Cpl. Tom Smith; who died on Guadalcanal.
We Kansans possess a fierce pride in our state, and to our eyes, dusty, dirty, and rain-starved though it may be, this is our Kansas.—(Reprinted from the Guidon of Hays high school).

Help Is Hard to Get These Days—Mildred Hack, College sophomore from Lawrence, had an extremely important telephone call to make a few nights ago (we are not told about what), and with no phone book handy she picked up the receiver and asked the operator the number of PT-1.
By DIXIE GILLILAND
"What was that name again?" asked the operator.
"PT-1, supplied Mildred.
"FT-1 Wo-on?" inquired the operator.
"That's right." said Mildred.
Moments passed. Mildred waited.
At long last the operator returned
to ask, "How do you spell that last
name? Weon?"
In desperation Mildred telegraphed.
"Something of Remember You By"
—When Marion Hasty's Phi Delt pinee, Huebert, left Sunday to study at the KU hospital in Kansas City, he gave the Theta, as a farewell gift, a small, but very-much-working-order thermometer. We can't help thinking Dean had in mind something about the temperature of those in love, or sentiments to that effect, but Marion has other ideas. For four days she has been canvassing the rooms of the chapter house taking the temperature of every Theta sister foolish enough to open her mouth.

"It has been proved," said the professor, "that lipstick is no longer made to stand the heat and pressure it formerly did. For any of you particularly interested in this matter, I refer you to Wallace Grimes, who has done personal research on the problem."
And how is lipstick these days,

Gambling Is a Sin But "Red"
Stucker had to find it out the hard way. Before a recent (score to be forgotten) Gamma Phi baseball game, "Red" bet Billy Simmons 15 minutes' worth of dandelion digging on the Gamma Phi lawn that she couldn't hit a home run. Billy promptly hit a four bagger and the Phi Gam was trapped. After practically promising his life away, "Red" was allowed five minutes of reprieve by the girls. At the appointed hour he returned to do his duty like a man—with a set alarm clock to assure no overtime.
With due thanks to the "speedy" Mr. Stucker, the Gamma Phis can hardly say their lawn is now immaculate through the efforts of their debtor.
Humphrey Finishes Parachute Training
Lt. Frederick G. Humphrey, son of William F. Humphrey of Kansas City, Mo., has won the right to wear the Wings and Boots of the army paratroops, according to the public relations office at Ft. Benning, Ga.

He Gave Stone; She Made Ring
Not every girl makes her own engagement ring. Furthermore not every girl wears an Alaskan brown diamond on her third finger, left hand. But combine these two elements and you have the story of Margaret Eberhardt of Kansas City, graduate art student and art supervisor of Oread High School.
When Sgt. Ben Shanklin of Kansas City came home on furlough a month ago from White Horse, Yukon Territory, Canada, he gave Miss Eberhardt an unset Alaskan diamond. She designed an attractive gold setting for the stone and Monday of this week the ring was finished.
Following plans which Sgt. Shanklin had made before returning to Alaska, Miss Eberhardt received an orchid. Thursday afternoon she will pass chocolates to members of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, off-campus educational sorority.
It is the first engagement ring which Miss Eberhardt has designed, and she adds with a twinkle, "It will be the last."

Extinct Monsters Still Fascinate Dr. Riggs After Two Decades
Phone 383
10th & N.H.
A friendly, white-haired individual, D. E. S. Riggs, honorable curator of paleontology at Dyche museum, has spent almost two decades in making extinct animals come alive to the public. A graduate of the University in 1896, Dr. Riggs was associated with the Chicago Field museum for 45 years and returned to Kansas, his native state, only a year and a half ago.
Although classified as a "retired curator." Dr. Riggs still delights in working around the museum. One may usually find him in a basement room cluttered with putty clay, work benches, and an interesting array of large jawbones, ribs, and other pieces of prehistoric animals.
“Well, now, let me see,” he said, as he hitched his checkered cap back and settled down to “recollect” some of his earlier experiences. ‘When I was an undergraduate here,’ he said. “I worked at the old zoology building—those were the days when Professor Williston was head of the department. We took some interesting field trips.”
When he was a sophomore at the University, Dr. Riggs was with a party which discovered the skull of an animal that today roams only in nightmares—a triseratops. It was once a three-horned monster which dwelt in the Hat Creek basin of Laramie, Wyo., before the ice age when the country was flat and grassy. His skull, found embedded in a rounded mass of stone, now is one of the many interesting exhibits on display at the museum.
"Our summer expeditions," Dr. Riggs said, "took us into places such as the badlands of South Dakota, and Como Bluff and Freeze Out hills, Wyo., so-called because an old-time prospector had found it too cold for his liking!"
In the Chicago Field museum, where one can find anything from mummified Egyptian cats to button collections, is Dr. Riggs' pet monster, a huge dinosaur, 32 feet high and 76 feet long. He found it in an expedition into the mountainous Grand
Junction country in Western Colorado in 1899. Newspapermen camped on his doorstep in Chicago for three days and nights waiting to get the story when he returned.
Taking trips into scores of states, and from Canada to Mexico and South America, Dr. Riggs has made 16 different expeditions. He once spent five years in scientific work for the Field museum in Bolivia, Chile, and other South American countries.
"Look," he said, as he pointed out a giant swimming lizard. "He is an old-time inhabitant of Kansas. You would never recognize him as a great-grandfather of today's reptiles."
Dr. Riggs confessed he once had the desire that many men have, and that was to become a writer. His articles have been published in the Chicago Field Museum magazine, and other scientific publications. "But I found I didn't have time for both writing and paleontology research," he said, as he tied the sash of his oilcloth apron and busied himself again with a large fossil. Even as a retired curator, the interesting lore of the past has proved too fascinating for him to lay aside.
Orcutt, Cass to Entertain At University Club Tea
Miss Jeanette Cass, accompanied by Miss Ruth Orcutt, both of the Fine Arts faculty, will sing at a musical tea to be given by members of the University Club at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the club rooms.

Kansas Loses To Army Team
The Herington Army Air Base baseball team was too much for a young Kansas team and they won by 12 to 4 in their game yesterday at stadium field.
Although the Jayhawks held the army team scoreless the first inning and pushed a run across for themselves in the initial frame they were unable to stem the tide of runs that crossed the plate.
The pitching was very unsteady at times, and the fielders made several costly bobbles. Scalzo went on the mound in the fifth inning and pitched the best ball of the day. He let the army have only on man on in the fifth, sixth, and seventh and not a ball went to the outfield during those innings.
At times the Jayhawks looked good and showed that if they improve at their present rate they will make considerable trouble for their future opponents. The catching is still a weak spot in the line-up. The hitting is fair with Farber and Rohrbaugh still carrying the brunt of the load.

Navy Units Plan To Participate In Softball League
The Navy V-12 unit, V-5 cadets, and the Electrician's Mates will make up teams in the Lawrence softball league which is now being planned, according to G. O. Starkey, chief yeman of the Electrician's Mates. Other teams that have been organized and have entered the league are Sunflower Ordnance Works, Hercules, and the Lawrence high school.
Chief Starkey said that he hoped to get another team entered in the league and in that case the Ship's Company will put a team in the field to make it an eight club league. He also said that games might be played four nights a week instead of double header on two nights each week.

"Birth of a Nation" depicts the trials of Northern and Southern lovers in the Civil War era, pictures the Negro problem in the South following the war, and shows the activities of the Klu Klux Klan. Better Than 'The Wind'
Both ambitious attempts to picture this phase in American history, "Gone with the Wind" and "Birth of a Nation" have naturally been compared. According to Professor Crafton, movie critics agree that "Birth of a Nation" is much the better picture, in spite of the modern equipment and knowledge used in the production of "Gone With the Wind."
Stars in the movie are Lillian Gish and Henry B. Marshall. Wallace Reed, who in the early twenties seems to have been a combination of Frank Sinatra and Errol Flynn, got his start in this movie. He takes the part of a brawny blacksmith. Donald Crisp Appears

Best H.S. Editorial Is Reprinted in Paper
"This Is Our Kansas," the Guidon, Hayes high school prize winning editorial, was reprinted in the Publishers Auxiliary, a journalistic trade paper published in Chicago.
Based on William Allen White's famous "What's the Matter With Kansas," this editorial was written by Marjorie Burtscher. Submitted in the recent high school newspaper contest, it was considered the best of the 49 editorials entered. The judging committee consisted of faculty members of the University's department of journalism.
On the same day, the Auxiliary also ran the editorial which won first place in the Kansas Press Women's contest. Entitled "We Need the Marion Hospital," this editorial, written by Mildred Hunt Riddle of the Marion Record-Review, exposed the fact that although the Red Cross goal in that district had been oversubscribed, the local hospital was being closed for lack of funds.
Mr. Beth was the sole judge of the editorial division of this contest which was the fourth news contest. he has judged this year. Others included a national contest and one for the Kansas Authors' Club.

Anzio Men Join Clark's Forces
The Allied drive to push the Nazis out of Italy slammed forward today when troops of the main fifth army and those in the Anzio beachhead joined forces, adding to Lt. Mark W. Clark's striking power and depriving the Nazis of more key positions.
(International News Service)
The contact was made at 7:30 a.m. Italian time near the shores of the Tyrrhenian sea from four miles south of Littoria. In the face of furious assaults and aerial bombardments the beachhead fighting men held their line and now have driven the Germans back over a wide area and are fighting in the streets on the outskirts of Cisterna, communications hub.
The German radio acknowledged the evacuation of Aquino. Mighty bombers of the Mediterranean theater struck by daylight at railyards at Lyons and Toulon areas of southern France.
Other squadrons destroyed 233 enemy vehicles in the battle areas exclusive of those damaged, while in yesterday's foray 633 others were demolished or put out of action, Allied headquarters announced.
Some 4,000 planes flew out of Britain last night and today to rock Germany, France, and Belgium, Berlin and Aachen were among RAF night objectives, while railyards in France and Belgium were smashed by daylight including rail communications from the Saar area to the invasion coast.
Savitt to Bring 19-Piece Orchestra For Varsity
Savitt, who has been popular not only with college students, but with other dance enthusiasts throughout the country, believes sweet swing
Jan Savitt and 18 members of his orchestra will provide "hot" and sweet" music for the K Club Varsity dance, June 2.
Savitt, who is currently touring the East and Midwest with his orchestra, wired K Club members that he will bring a 19-piece orchestra to the University for the occasion. Savitt's latest stop has been in Chicago.
"Early ticket sales indicate that there will be a large crowd on hand to see the orchestra, and the presentation of the queen and her two attendants," said Harold McSpadden, chairman in charge of ticket sales. All 25 members of the K Club are selling tickets, and they can also be purchased in the Business office, McSpadden said.
Members of the dance committee and the University dance manager, Heloise Hillbrand, believe his orchestra will be a top drawing card all Army and Navy trainees on the Hill.
Savitt's family emigrated to the United States from Russia when he was still a baby, and settled in Philadelphia. He early began his musical career on a toy fiddle, and a few years later won the first three scholarships to the Curtis Institute of Music.
The eight-beat shuffle rhythm which Jan has incorporated into the "off beat" style, has provided the arrangements for such favorites as "Seven Twenty in the Books," and his theme song, "It's a Wonderful World."
to be the American music. He has spent much of his time gathering material on the subject and correlating his growing collection of jazz notes with his experience in the field of classical music.
The appearance of Savitt and his Tophatters will mark the end of varsity dances for the year.
After playing with the Philadelphia orchestra for two years, Jan organized the Savitt String Quartet, and started on his way to swing fame.

White-Clad V-12s Stand Out at Night
Quite a little has been said about the University of Kansas in wartime spring, but, as with all great subjects, there is a lot more that has been going unsaid.
Ordinarily students live through a winter of blasting wind, snow and ice atop Mt. Oread just to frolic throughout the months of May and June. As any alumn will tell you, it's well worth five months of icy hell to be able to spread a blanket on Wakarusa creek about the middle of May or to walk a date around Potter lake at commencement time.
K. U.'s adopted students, those army and navy trainees who came to the University under the auspices of the government and who are not native Kansans, are keeping the ball of tradition rolling; that is, we mean to say, they too are enjoying the fries on the banks of the Wakarusa and especially moonlight walks around Potter.
Although the army trainees' summer uniforms blend fairly well with the dusky landscape of the grove surrounding the University lake at night, the sailors in their white middies stand out like so many ghosts hauming the place.
Since the time of the V-12 traineer is somewhat limited for such social activities and all of them are out on the same nights, when one ghost-like figure can be found strolling the grove, there are at least two dozen more in the vicinity. It appears to be not just one ghost there, but a glorious reunion of a family of them.
This is certainly no plea that the V-12ers stop dating in the grove and about the lake-far from it. But, no kidding, guys, we wish you'd blend more with the scenery when you do take that moonlight stroll. No telling whom you're liable to scare to death some dark night.
Law School Supplies Material for Journal
The prize winning paper of Thomas "Sam" Freeman, recently killed in action in New Guinea, is featured in the current issue of the Kansas Bar Journal. F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, had the article, "The Copyright as Security," reprinted by special permission secured from the Nathan Burkan Competition.
All of the material for this issue of the bar journal, with the exception of eight pages, was supplied by the University of Kansas Law School. Among the articles is "Kansas Annotations to the Restatement of the Law of Torts" (sections 281-296 inclusive) by Dean F. J. Moreau
Appearing also in this issue are case comments by John Anderson, Jr., Herbert J. Peterson, and John Scurlock, second year law students. Kipp Gimple contributed to "Case Notes."
Outstanding as a student, S/Sgt Freeman won the $100 prize on his law paper in 1942, the year in which he was graduated. He was admitted to the Kansas Bar and practiced in Kansas City, Mo. As a fortress gunner, he failed to return from a mission in New Guinea last November. Word of his death was received a few days ago.

Major Operation—We're sure the fact that Herington's baseball team beat K. U. by a rather wide margin had nothing to do with it, but Ed Woolcott, PT-3, wended his weary way home from the game with the Naval base Tuesday with a cut and bleeding head. Although he pleaded to Navy brothers that he "just hit it on a locker, really," the fleet decided they would have to operate. In preparation one PT-3an brought forth a bright and shining scalpel. It might have been delirium; it might have been fear; but, whatever, Ed took one look and yelled, "You're not going to use that shrapnel on me!"

Developing rapidly, 195,000 telegrams were sent in the United States in 1940, making them first in "telegram production." Japan rates second for the same period with 68,475, and England has 59,484, to mark third place. "Congratulations" are taboo on telegrams today in the conservation effort as telegrams have become more and more essential as a means of war-time communication. Wiring furlough time, change of orders, and various military "info" keeps the telegraph men "on the run" day and night.
One hundred candles went on the birthday cake Wednesday of the electromagnetic recording telegraph, the brain child of Samuel Finley Breese Morse, better known as "Sam" Morse.
The first K Book appeared in the fall of 1891 as the "Student Handbook" and originated under the YMCA. It contained information on the YMCA, University events, Lawrence, professors, and blank pages.
May 24, 1844 was a very special day for this occasion because that was when the telegraph constructed from Baltimore to Washington, D. C. was used for the first time. Morse was 53 years old when his invention was first used, after more than ten years of working and experimenting.
Centenarian Telegraph Takes a Bow
The inventor of this devise was an artist for the first 41 years of his life. He had been graduated from Yale and had travelled to Europe and England. "Sam" Morse was also one of the founders of the National Academy of Design and was its first president.
K Book Appears in 1891
led quite naturally to a little "dramatic" tearing. Said the sponsor, "Well, they belong to the same lodge, and it molds them."
Arising to the occasion with a ham sandwich (Ed. note: Miss McCluggage's selection of a blunt instrument to be used at a drama picnic is believed to show great foresight). Bobbie Sue started at the professor. Cornering him, she asked, "Now what was that remark again?" Mr. Crafton repeated his statement.
"Oh," said the startled and retreating Bobbie Sue. "I thought you said 'it was moldy'."
And where did you get your information, professor?
P. S. — Wally Grimes, featured in yesterday's column, adds the final note in the Grimes-VanderWerf debate. According to the victim himself, he went to his professor after the noteworthy lecture, and asked him for the source of the information. "Well," said VanderWerf, "you know they say it takes a thief to catch a thief."

Scholarships Given By Pi Lambda Theta To Future Teachers
Hoping to encourage students to enter the teaching profession and thus relieve the Kansas shortage of 2,500 qualified teachers, members of Pi Lambda Theta, women's honorary education society, voted last evening to grant two $50 scholarships for prospective teachers who will study at the University in training for the profession.
Scholarships will be turned over to the University committee on aids and awards of which Assistant Dean John H. Nelson of the Graduate School is chairman. Details of qualifications for applicants for the scholarships will be established by the general committee. The president of Pi Lambda Theta, Miss Martha Peterson, instructor in mathematics, announced that the organization hopes to establish two more such scholarships for use next year.

Sportorials
By Charles Moffett
Because of the accelerated wartime program which has students going to school the year round, especially the navy, Coach Ray Kanehl of the track team would like very much to continue the sport all summer. With possibly two or three exceptions, the track team is part of the navy program, so Kanehl would have a strong nucleus for his summer squad.
However, there are no big meets close enough for the Jayhawks to attend and surrounding teams do not seem to want to continue. It's really too bad, because the Kanehlmen had just seemed to hit their stride in the Big Six meet and were due for even bigger things if they only had a chance. The cindermen were imporving with each meet and showed no signs of retarding their pace. Several of the squad are still working out in hopes they may get some more chances to compete.
***
Since last Saturday we have been wondering what became of the proposed plan to ban navy trainees from participating on Big Six athletic teams. As rumor went, the question was supposed to be discussed at the conference board meeting in Lincoln last weekend, but the report that came from the Cornhusker city contained no information on the subject.

Carl Hird, former University football letterman, stationed at the Olathe air base, has turned his interests toward boxing and has evidently met with success. Last night at the North Side American Youth Club's arena in Kansas City, Mo., he won a decision in a thrilling battle over a fellow sailor from Olathe. The victory gave Hird, who tips the scales at 203, the heavyweight championship of the base. The bout was witnessed by 2,500 fans.

Word comes from Norman, Oklahoma that the Sooners have scheduled nine games for their football team next fall. Four games have been set to be played in Oklahoma City with only Kansas State and Missouri scheduled to play in Norman. The Sooner schedule contains games with Texas A. & M., Texas, Kansas State, Texas Christian, Iowa State, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma Aggies, and Nebraska.
Cabinet to Preserve Valuable Newspapers
To preserve valuable editions of old newspapers a new file cabinet has been added to the equipment of the journalism department. The large wooden case contains 12 compartments in which the papers will be kept.
L. N. Flint, professor in the department for nearly 40 years, has made a collection of unusual papers including many first editions, one containing an account of President Lincoln's assassination, a copy of the only paper in the country printed with offset lithography, and many other valuable papers. Until now there has been no permanent place to store them.
Softball Victories To KKG, Corbin, DG
Winners in the women's intramural softball games played yesterday were Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, and Corbin hall.
Meeting Pi Beta Phi on the diamond, Corbin hall chalked up 34 runs, the highest score made in the games played yesterday. Pi Phi's completed only four trips around the diamond. Shirley Pfaff pitched for the winning team.
Delta Gamma won their game with Alpha Chi Omega. The score was 10-4. Joyce Mary Heartwell pitched for the D.G.s.
Scoring 22 runs, Kappa Kappa Gamma defeated Alpha Omicron Pi, whose team completed 14 circuits of the diamond. Kappa pitcher was Marjorie Free.
The last game in the tournament to be played before the beginning of the semifinals is the one between the Co-ops and Miller hall, which will be played Monday.
A. L. Seelye Spends Day on Campus
Visiting the campus yesterday, Alfred L. Seelye, OPA official, saw the University for the first time since he left two years ago to accept the position of price analyst of the regional OPA office in Dallas, Texas. This was his first vacation in two years.
Now on leave from the University, Mr. Seelye has charge of distribution and marketing studies for this region. Matters concerning wholesale and retail prices for six states in this region are under his direction. He joined the University faculty in 1939 as assistant professor of marketing in the School of Business.
Mr. and Mrs. Seelye were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Waters during their short stay here. They returned to Dallas last night.

During the 16-week session this summer the School of Medicine will run on a full schedule. The session will also be the main summer term for the School of Business, while the School of Education will offer only one course. Other schools offering courses then are the Schools of Pharmacy, Engineering and Architecture, Graduate and the College. The Schools of Pharmacy, and Engineering and Architecture will offer no courses during the six weeks term in September.

Allies Hit Last Nazi Defense Line Twenty Miles South of Rome; Cisterna and Littoria Fall to Allies
(International News Service)
The last Nazi defense line south of Rome from 20 miles below the Eternal City was hit by Allied ground forces today.
German sources spoke of heavy Anglo-American thrusts against the fortified city of Velletri, 18 miles from Rome and strong point of their sole remaining defense line there. Unofficial dispatches reaching London said the Allies were within three miles of Velletri.
The once formidable Hitler line was smothered completely when the Eighth army raced through gaps in those positions, drove across the Melfa river, and established beachheads on the far shore.
Within the Anzio beachhead perimeter now firmly united with the other Allied fronts as a result of yesterday's juncture of the two forces the towns of Cisterna and Littoria fell to the Allies. Cisterna, scene of an especially bitter tank and infantry battle, is on the Appian Way. 27 miles below Rome and was reduced to a shamble before
Was reduced to a shamble before the Americans occupied it completely.
Allies Take 12,000 Prisoners
The bag of enemy prisoners continued to mount and at last reports numbered more than 12,000 men, four-fifths of a division.
Once again the land gains were accompanied by shattering aerial bombardments of targets near the battlefront and well behind the line and by broadsides fired into coastal objectives by Allied warships.
The air war over western Europe diminished in fury perhaps because of adverse weather conditions, with the sole announced attack being won by Mosquito bombers on northern France by daylight. All planes returned safely.
Lord Louis Mountbatten announced that the Japanese have suffered 8,500 fatal casualties in their abor- (continued to see four.)

Senate Declares Army Seizure Illegal
Washington, (INS)—The senate judiciary subcommittee named to investigate the Montgomery Ward case reported today that the President had neither legal nor constitutional authority to order seizure of the big Chicago mail order house. The committee also held that use of troops to take over the plant was illegal.
The report bristled with strong-worded criticism of the War Labor Board and charged Attorney Gen. Francis Biddle with giving President Roosevelt wrong and misleading information. It also criticized Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones for calling on the army to take over the plant.

No Daily Kansan Tuesday
The Daily Kansan will not be published Tuesday, Memorial Day. The University Press which prints the paper is to be closed for the day.
The scaffolding which has covered the front of Blake hall since last September, was removed yesterday, roof repairs begun eight months ago having been completed.
Blake Gets New Roof
For several years the roof had been leaking into and through the attic into some of the rooms, according to University officials. Rainstorms, wind, and occasional hailstorms ruined many of the tiles and the tar paper roofing. New tar paper reinforcements have replaced the old, and new tile covers much of the roof.
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the 1945 Jayhawker may be made now, Karl Klooz, bursar of the University and chairman of the Jayhawker board. announced today.
Jayhawker Staff Positions Open
Letters of application should be addressed to the Jayhawker office in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building, he said. They must be in the office on or before June 1.
In applying, applicants for both positions are asked to state their qualifications and previous experience with similar publications. They are also asked to give the names of at least two instructors and one former employer from whom the board can obtain references.
After being collected in the Jayhawker office, the applications will be turned over to the board which will elect the new staff members.
Col. Robert Crowder Reported Missing; Twelve Kansans Listed in War Report
It is hoped, said Mr. Klooz, the election can be held soon, so that the new editor and business manager will be able to let contracts for next year's publication before the end of the current school term.
Col. Robert T. Crowder of Lawrence, a former student with the class of 1935, is among those reported today by the war department as missing in action from the Mediterranean area.
Names of 536 other U. S. soldiers were listed as missing in action in the American, Central Pacific, European and Mediterranean areas in the same report.
When Colonel Crowder left early in January for foreign duty as commander of a group of heavy bombers, his wife, the former Audra Courter, a former student with the class of 1334, returned to Lawrence and is now living at 740 Louisiana. His mother, Mrs. Fred Bliesner lives at 1339 Vermont.
Included were the following from Kansas:
Central Pacific area:
Colonel Crowder entered West Point in 1932 and was graduated in 1936. He received his wings in the army air corps in 1939 and previous to March, 1943, was commanding officer of a glider school at Dalhart, Texas. He spent several months last summer in England with a group of fliers he had trained.

"Political Issues of 1944" will be presented in an open panel discussion by four student speakers at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.

Concert members for the band will include "A Manx Overture" (Hadyn Wood), "Scene Du Bai" from "Miniature Suite" (Eric Coates), "Larghetto" from "Symphony in C Minor" (Ernest Williams, and "El Relicario, Paso Doble" (Jose Padilla).

Because of the uninterrupted schedule of the armed forces on the campus, all departments of the University will be on regular schedule on Tuesday, Memorial Day, Ray-Mond Nichols, executive secretary, announced this morning.
A civil service ruling that employees must be given a part holiday then or later called for additional instructions from the Civil Service office which had not been received at noon.

Coeds Again Fear Loss of K.U. Males
When we entered the war in 1941, one of the first thoughts of University coeds was that college wasn't going to be the same old place with all the men leaving. It looked as though K.U. was to become a girls' school completely.
Fraternity men began to worry about keeping their large houses open and wondered where they were going to get the men to keep a portion of the rooms filled. As time and the draft went on, it seemed that there would not be enough men left on Mt. Oread to keep even one fraternity house filled.
Then the army and navy came to the rescue. They contracted to use the University's educational facilities and the houses of the fraternal organizations to teach and to house their trainees. Women students collectively gave a sigh of relief at the news. The fraternity men remaining also took heart.
This has been the happy situation for almost a year now. But the same problems are arising anew. The battle front is becoming more demanding than the educational front, and the army and navy are pulling out their trainees.
The University's first big wartime manpower decrease came when several hundred ASTPs left in March. Last week 75 army and navy medics went to Kansas City, leaving two empty houses. The V-12 units will retain a full quota of 490 men during the summer session, but may suffer much as a 25 per cent reduction next November.
The present group of Naval Air Cadets is the last of that branch that will be trained here. There are now some 57 cadets stationed at the University, The C.A.A.-W.T.S. program, under which these cadets are being taught, will be ended during the first two weeks in August. This move will leave the Phi Psi and Triangle houses empty.
By next fall, women will again far outnumber the men on the campus, barring some unforeseen development. K.U. will then, in truth, become a woman's world.
But what is a woman's world without men?—K.G.

Lt. Torgeson Missing
In Action Over Germany
Second Lt. Harold Wayne Torgenson, a student in chemical engineering for two years at the University, has been reported missing in action over Germany since March 8, according to word received by his father, H. J. Torgerson of Olathe, from the War Department.
Torgeson entered the army a year ago last January and was serving as a bombardier in the air corps.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Reformation—The Rev. Edwin F. Price believes he has at last found proof of the power of his sermons—or something. On a recent morning Dr. Price opened his front door to find a note, held in the mouth of a bottle of somewhat shady character, awaiting him. The communication read:
Dear Dr. Price:
We are three engineers on the hill who in the past have been devoted to drinking and other sinful practices. However, we have given all this up, including drinking, and want to give you this token as a sign that we have drunk our last of intoxicants.
(signed) Lewis Harry John
Dr. Price was properly impressed,
and hopes on the next confession
the sinners will add — their last
names.

It's O.K. Girls — Rumors are a dangerous thing. Especially in wartime, it is the patriotic duty of every good American to put down each and every rumor he hears. We therefore take this opportunity to debunk one we heard recently. In
Miss Johnston, who performed the same feat Tuesday night with only a meger light permitted to fall on the pages in the darkened room, discovered that the re-appearance of each actor co-incided with the
With the huge piano score, which was sent out with the film, propped up before her, Miss Johnston sat in the orchestra pit below the stage of Fraser theater and craned her neck up at the picture which was being shown almost directly above her head. She was assisted by Joy Miller, chairman of the Forums Board, who turned pages for her and also read aloud the titles, explaining the action following so that the accompaniment and the story would be synchronized. Sudden jumps of half a page at a time or slowly drawn-out passages with frequent blank pauses were occasionally necessary to permit the action to catch up with the corresponding music or vice versa.
Disregarding the possibility of a permanent neck deformity, Anna Mae Johnston, College freshman, doggedly plowed through three and a half hours of steady piano-playing last night in order to provide an appropriate musical background for the thrilling and tender episodes in "Birth of a Nation."
"Sam Anderson is not married!"
In the words of one of his (more attractive) students;
"Whew, that's a relief!"
Corbin Kiddies — Second childhood overtook the barefoot inmates of Corbin hall Monday night with a siege of Hide-and-Seek, Run Sheep Run, and Statues. After Harriet Davis had been chosen the most graceful, and Mary Forsyth the most repulsive of the entries in the latter game, interest shifted to Truth and Dare — and the consequences were overwhelming.
After five minutes of play, Dixie Williams was sitting on a fire plug yelling like Tarzan, and Jean Nelson had stopped a car in front of Corbin to ask the driver where Corbin hall was. But Ruth Krehbiel added the final touch, when she called Vernon Smoots, Triangle, to tell him she had hidden her mad love for him for years.
Her Music Is Movie's Background
Did Smoots fall for it? Corbinites wink an affirmative. It seems he called Tuesday night for a second helping and to all appearances is about ready to pop the question by now.
Poppies Sold Tomorrow To Aid Rehabilitation Work
Tomorrow is Poppy Day in Lawrence. The memorial poppies in honor of the men who died in the battles of World War I and II will be available then through -the American Legion Auxiliary and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary.
The money that is given goes for rehabilitation work among the veterans. The idea of the nation wide sale of the poppy was first developed in 1921.

Feminine Influence or Leap Year Hint?
Semimoles Least Europeanized
It may be just feminine influence since co-eds took over the management of the Westminster college student bookstore, and again it might be intended as a gentle Leap Year hint to army and navy cadets on the campus. But observers are doubting that it was accidental when a biology textbook titled "Man" was displayed next to another called "Animals Without Backbones." Co-ed bookstore managers are noncommittal.

Pfc. George White Visits From Station in Texas
Reassigning the battle-wounded at Ashburn General hospital in McKinney, Texas, is the duty of Pfc. George White of Miami. Okla., a graduate of the School of Business in 1939, who is visiting friends on the campus today. This work is necessitated by the army's policy of sending men to areas they prefer when they are dismissed from the hospital.
White says that the number of men who want to go back to their outfits is surprisingly large, regardless of how severely wounded they were.

Jayhawks Play Sedalia Airmen Here Tomorrow
The Sedalia Air Base will come here tomorrow for a baseball game with the Kansas Jayhawks. Game time has been set at 2:30 p.m.
This contest will be the third of the season for the young Kansas team which lost its first two games to Iowa State and Herington air base. Improvement is still being made under the tutelage of Coach Elmer Schaake, newly appointed diamond mentor. The fielding is still spotty but at times clicks in excellent fashion. The hitting, although not hard, has been fairly consistent. Coach Schnake has been trying to get his charges to increase their speed on the bases by being alert and ready to take advantage of the slightest opportunity.
The Kansas squad has no idea as to the strength of their opponents, but like all service teams are expected to be experienced and a seasoned outfit.
The pitching duties may fall to Tom Saffell, who worked most of the Iowa State fray until a finger he hurt in the first inning bothered him so much he had to be taken out. If his hand is healed sufficiently, Saffell will probably get the call. Scalzo, who pitched three excellent innings against Herington before losing his control, has had three days rest and should be ready to bolster the mound corps if called upon.
The rest of the line-up will remain about the same subject to last minute changes. Sinclair or Dahleem will catch, with Rohrbaugh on first, Wolcott on second, Corder at short step, and Gaba at third. The outfield will probably be picked from these men—Farber, Smith, Slipsage, Moore, and Heim.
Donors to Register For Blood Bank
The registration of blood donors will begin on Monday, and except for Memorial Day, will continue through Saturday noon, June 3.
The Mobile Unit of the Red Cross Blood Donor Service will be at the Community building June 5, 6, and 7, and those who want to make contributions are instructed to telephone Red Cross headquarters, 640, and make their appointments between 9 and 12 in the morning, and from 1:30 to 5 in the afternoon.
Contributions to the Blood Bank may be made between 10 and 12 in the morning, and from 1 to 2 in the afternoon.
Volunteers must be between the ages of 18 and 60, in good health, and must weigh at least 110 pounds. Official Red Cross releases, obtainable at Watkins Memorial hospital, must be signed by parents for donors between the ages of 18 and 21.
Schoeppel to Run For Governor Again
Governor Andrew Schoepel has stated that he will file for re-election as governor of Kansas on the Republican ticket when he returns next week from the governors' conference at Harrisburg, Pa. He is now serving his first term.

Buehler Announces Speech Contest To Be Held June 6
A "Know Your University" speech contest on June 6 was announced today by Prof. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech. The event is a substitute for the traditional "Campus Problems" speech contest which Professor Buehler has sponsored for nearly twenty years.
Preliminary tryouts for June 6 participation are scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 31, in the Little Theater, Green hall. Every student in the University is eligible to enter the contest, said Professor Buehler. Navy V-12's and all other special groups are included.
"Although speakers in debates and argumentative orations seek to persuade, convince, and produce action, the central aim of the speeches in the "Know Your University" contest will be to inform and interest," said Professor Buehler. "Subjects will be activities, life, and traditions of the University."
Contestants are at liberty to choose any subject in keeping with the general theme of the event. In order to help prospective speakers, the department of speech and drama has issued a list of 60 suggested topics which is available at the speech office in Green hall. Topics already chosen by some of the contestants include "Occupational Therapy," "Correspondence Study," and "The Totem Pole of the Class of 1893."
The winner of first prize in the final contest will receive $10. There will be a second prize of $5. Fifteen students already have signed for preliminary competition. All others who desire to enter should see Professor Buchler as soon as possible.
Speeches in the preliminary tryout will be limited to 5 minutes. In the final contest they will be 7 minutes. Eight to ten finalists will be chosen from the preliminary event on May 31.

Relics and Exhibits Fascinate Mrs. Rider as Museum Curator
One of the most fascinating positions on the University campus is that occupied by Mrs. Ruth Rider, daughter of Deam D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts. Mrs. Rider is curator of Spooner-Thayer museum; and through her work she comes into daily contact with fascinating, ancient relics, some of which date before Christ.
"As curator of a museum as well-known and famous as Spooner-Thayer, I have many duties to occupy my time," said Mrs. Rider. "I really hesitate to term what I do as duties, however, because each and every thing I do around the museum is intensely fascinating. They all spur me on with a desire to know more and more of the background and history of each article."
Library Work Proves Interesting
The museum library was compiled by Mrs. Thayer and contains more than 1000 books. "It is my specific duty to run the library," she said. "By that I mean that in a vague sort of way I act as a librarian; however, none of our books are ever checked out. This naturally limits the extent of my librarian's work. I see that all the books, pamphlets, and files remain in excellent condition and if anything ever happens to any of them, it is up to me to remedy it."
In this one room devoted to the library Mrs. Rider stated that she is learning something new constantly. "Just last week," she related, "I was sorting and filing some books; and I came across some books on Oriental art which gave me a keen insight into the workings of an Oriental's mind. In these times such information as this gives a person a deeper understanding of some of the reasons why chaotic times are inevitable."
Procures Outside Shows
The museum consists of three large galleries and two small ones. The small ones are changed, that is the displays are varied, every month, if possible. One is devoted to exhibits of the museum's own collections which have been stored. The other is devoted to outside shows.
"The gallery which is devoted to outside exhibits," Mrs. Rider related, "is changed every month. It is my responsibility to procure and arrange for these outside exhibits. My biggest job is undoubtedly that of procuring shows and exhibits of interest to the many persons—more than 1,000 every month—who visit the museum.
"Often now, because of the shortage of help, I help clean and polish the innumerable articles on display

Defeat of Totalitarian Aggressors Required For Peace—Hambro
"No peace at all is possible until the totalitarian aggressors are completely defeated," is the opinion of Dr. C. J. Hambro, President of the Norwegian Parliament and President of the League of Nations Assembly, who will speak at the University Thursday at 8:30 p.m., in Hoch auditorium.
Stressing the fact that Dr. Hambro's speech should be of interest to every student and faculty member, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, said Dr. Hambro would probably speak on "How to Win the Peace."
Mr. Hambro has just returned from a flight to England where he conferred with Government officials on current and future policies and plans, and saw his son Cato enter the Norwegian army. Dr. Hambro twice was forced to cancel earlier speaking engagements here when he was called to London by the Norwegian government.
In 1918, as soon as he reached the required age, Dr. Hambro was elected a member of the Norwegian Parliament, and since 1924 he was head of the Conservative Party, president of the Parliament, and chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations. He was the youngest man ever to be elected president and has been re-elected more times than any other incumbent of that office. Since 1924, he has represented Norway at the League of Nations. He became president of the League Assembly in 1939 and chairman of hte Supervisory Committee, and will continue in these offices for the duration of the war.

Committee Named to Study Proposal to Outlaw Poll Tax
Washington, (INS)—A special 5-man committee was named by the senate judiciary committee today to study two resolutions proposing a constitutional amendment outlawing the poll tax in eight southern states.
Plans were discussed for a dinner- dance which will probably be on June 17.
Targets Bombed Without Let-up By Allied Planes
(International News Service)
The bombing of Germany and Occupied-Europe continued without let-up today. Giant assaults were launched from Britain and the Mediterranean area against targets in Germany, Poland, and Austria.
Latest Allied objectives included airdromes and aircraft factories near Vienna and fighter plane plants in Poland and Germany. Furious air battles were fought according to the Berlin radio which claimed 60 American aircraft including 55 bombers had been shot down.
Meantime heavy air forces attacked bridges in northern France and Belgium.
Ground fighting in Italy brought American forces within almost a mile of Valmontone, key defense bastion of the German-held Rome line after Allied Fifth Army troops virtually had wiped out three Nazi divisions of some 45,000 men.
The Germans fought bitterly to keep open the escape route which runs through Valmontone, but American and British forces scored substantial advances. Allied artillery continued savage blasting of the highway, tying up Axis troop movements.
New gains were registered by Chinese-American forces on the Burma front. American infantry drove forward on Baika island off the northwest coast of Dutch New Guinea.
Work Under Control In Local Laundries Despite Difficulties
In Washington the war department revealed that army air forces fighter planes equipped with rocket projectiles are now in combat in the China-Burma-India and Pacific theaters. The rocket projectiles fired from beneath the plane's wings are installed on P-40's, P-47's, the P-38 Lightning and the P-51 Mustang.
In spite of increasing spring business and shortage of labor, Lawrence laundries have been able to handle the situation without change of policy. Laundries in Kansas City and Topeka have experienced serious difficulty in recent weeks. In some cases the help shortage caused business to close.
Although the laundry situation in Lawrence is not acute, several cleaning establishments will be closed until Wednesday in order to catch up on back work.
People are having their winter clothes cleaned before they put them away. This has caused an increase in the business. In several cleaning offices the clothes are piled high on the counters. Similarly, the laundries are experiencing an increase in business caused by the summer weather and more wash clothes.
Michelman Goes to Illinois With Family on 7-Day Leave
Lt. C. A. Michelman, assistant commanding officer of the University V-12 Units, is on a 7-day leave. He and his family left Saturday to visit his parents in Nokomis, Ill. Lieutenant Michelman will return to his duties Saturday.

Candidates for All Student Council and candidates for class offices will both be represented, she said.
Tippin Sells Story To Restaurant Mag
Following the rally which will last about a half hour, punch will be served.
Miss Tippin, who wrote the article for an assignment in the feature writing class, is majoring in journalism. She served as managing editor of the University Daily Kansan last semester, is president of the Press Club, and a member of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary sorority.
The Kansan will not be published tomorrow (Memorial Day).

Employees Seek Social Security Retirement Fund
A movement to obtain social security and a retirement fund for all University employees, including faculty members, through state legislation was inaugurated Saturday when Ivan King and C. W. Anderson, buildings and grounds department, met with Charles Newell, state civil service director in Topeka Saturday to consider a plan.
The two local men were among representatives of seven state institutions who conferred with Director Newell in their plans to put their January. They represented Local request before the legislature in No.75 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Association, aligned with the American Federation of Labor. The local union was formed last September and is a non-striking union.
Because state employees are exempt from the federal social security law and there is no retirement fund, the agitation is now being made to give state employees the same advantages as other labor. The funds would be administered through the Board of Regents.
Faculty members are not affiliated with labor, but the proposed bill would include them under the same privileges.
KU Man Awarded Air Medal in England
An Eighth AAF Composite Station, England — First Lt. Marion C. Haile, of Ottawa, Kansas, was presented an Oak Leaf Cluster to the Air Medal in a presentation of awards held at this station.

K.U. Food Handlers Should Take X-rays
In 1939 the tuberculin testing program for the food handlers of the eating houses of the University achieved great success. In previous years the examinations had been started in a desultory fashion, but were never carried through satisfactorily because no authority was given to enforce the measure. However, in 1939 the Pan-Hellenic Council, providing a fine for houses coming under its jurisdiction which failed to have food handlers tested, gave impetus to the program. The voluntary compliance by the other University organizations and local restaurants was more than gratifying.
Lacking the student government support of previous years, the motor X-ray unit of the Kansas State Board of Health is in Lawrence to examine free of charge all students and University employees for tuberculosis. Although Saturday was the day set aside for the X-ray work of K.U. students and employees, an official said today that any person who desires the examination could come to the Community building today, Wednesday or Thursday for the test.
It was realized in 1939, as it should be recognized now, that, to carry out effectively this vital health safeguard, the program must necessarily include food handlers of all Lawrence restaurants, not just those in the immediate vicinity of the University. To do this, the city would have to pass an ordinance requiring the examinations and have some means of enforcing the law.
Since the X-ray examining of food handlers of the University area is not in any way compulsory this year, the responsibility is vested in the individual organizations themselves.
The hours for the X-ray examinations at the Community building are:
Men: 1-3, and 8-9 p.m.; women:
3-5, and 7-8 p.m.

Personality plus Line equals BTO (big time operator) Ed Schmitt-It seems quite a few girls on campus have believed PT-5 Schmitt and his line which he reels out to any cute number who comes along. The little hint included here is that he had better watch his step or he'll have more dates stacked up in one evening than EVEN HE can handle. Which says a lot.

Evelyn Hodgson, Watkins hall spent a quiet Saturday night. But a lot of other people didn't. That evening, George Hudson called her up for a date and asked if she had a friend who would like to go out too. Evelyn couldn't make it. So she asked Bertha Cummins and her friend, former student Flavia Stone, if they would like to go.
Evening and the boys came. Flavia, decked out in her sister's best, went downstairs to meet the new man in her life. She looked once;
After saying yes, Flavia remembered that, after all, she was just visiting for the day, and she had nothing suitable to wear. And then came the dawn; she would call up her sister Mildred who works in Lawrence, and Mildred would be glad to lend her a dress. She called Mildred. Mildred obliged, sent the dress.
Strawberries is red, and so is their faces. The annual strawberry festivals which Corbin hall gives out with, come spring, grow bigger and better as the seasons roll on. Thursday's was the best yet.

DEAR EDITOR:
There's also Mary Lou Dillenback, Phi Beta Kappaclad senior, who held back her titerings long enough to hear that "dear Miss D. at 80 is still the taster at Seagrams, and to quote her very own words, 'My work is so stimulating.' She was ust announced her engagement to the nightwatchman."
Blond (which makes her a good) psychology major Esther DeBord was amazed.

The film "The Birth of a Nation," shown last Thursday in Fraser theatre might better be called "The Crucifixion," for it certainly did no less than crucify the Negro. To say that the film is controversial is a gross understatement of the facts. Any historical significance the film may possess and the fact that the film represents a land mark in film history is totally obliterated by its rabidly anti-Negro implications. Its deplorable implications far outweigh any virtues that the film might have.
According to the programs issued,
"The faults of The Birth of a Nation' are obvious." This is not necessarily true. Many people are intentionally biased and will not consider the fact that the film is one sided. These people will be prone

The motion picture industry has successfully stereotyped Negro fathers as clowns and Uncle Toms; Negro mothers as bowing and scraping mammies; and Negro youths as razor-carrying crapshooters. The motion picture industry has made mockery of Negro preachers, churches, and religions. None of these stereotypes are typical of the Negro—but unfortunately they have been created and fixed in the minds of theater-goers. "The Birth of a Nation" carried stereotyping of the Negro to the extreme.

This film should not have been shown at a time when intelligent Negroes are trying to obtain their proper places as citizens of this so called democracy and to participate
I do not think the Forums Board intentionally committed this injustice, but the injustice has been done. It would be no more than fair for the Forums Board to partially compensate by showing a film that is more nearly typical of the Negro. Such a film might be, "The Negro Soldier," recently released by the U. S. Army Signal Corps.

But in the 20 odd years which separate each of America's wars, the people periodically forget the day's original singleness of purpose. Instead of a day for veterans, Memorial day becomes a time for family reunions—a time to pay special attention to all graves.

KU Loses 10-4 To Sedalia Team Through Errors
The University of Kansas baseball team went down in defeat before the Sedalia army air field, Saturday by the score of 10 to 4.
The Jayhawks played their best game of the infant season but the steadier playing of the opponents as the contest wore on proved too much for them. Light showers fell several times during the game but did not prevent the two teams from continuing.
Saffel started on the mound for Kansas and pitched an excellent game until the late innings when Scalzo came in from right field to take over. Several times after runners would get on base Saffell either caught them off base or else struck out the batters to pull himself out of the hole. The Sedalia team was held scoreless until the third inning when they pushed across two counters and they scored at least once every inning after that.
Although outfit only 9 to 11, the Kansas team left several men on base, never being able to bunch their hits enough to make more than one run in an inning.
The Kansans made several bad mistakes but at other times came up with some fine plays. Daleen hit a homer in the ninth but didn't touch third base while rounding the bases and was called out. However, the next man up, Farber, hit a hard drive past the left fielder and completed the circuit standing up.
With each contest the Jaykawks make marked improvement, and with a few more games under their belt to give them some needed confidence they should begin to win their share of games.
The score by innings:
| | | | | R | H | E |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Kansas | 011 | 100 | 001 | 4 | 9 | 6 |

U.S. Court Refuses Negro Draft Petiton
Washington, (INS)—The Supreme Court today refused to consider a petition attacking legality of the draft of white and Negroes under separate quotas.

Navy To Close EM School Oct.
The closing of the U.S. Naval Training School (Electrical) at the University was announced today from the office of Chancellor Deane W. Maoff, to take place next Oct. 9.

A letter from Rear Admiral L. E. Denfeld, assistant chief of naval personnel, advised that the last class of electricians mates to be sent to the University of Kansas will arrive June 19. When the training of that class is completed, the school will be closed. The action has been taken, he said, because of changes in service requirements for electricians mates.
University officials this morning said that machinists mates training was changed during the winter from educational institutions to a training system aboard ships. It is as- sumed that some such change is be- ing used for the electricians mates
"The announcement of the termination this fall of the Electricians Mates program," said Chancellor Malott, "is further evidence that our armed forces are acquiring the strength needed for early victory. It has been a great satisfaction to the University to have been one of the first of the technical navy schools to be activated, and to have served in this important capacity for more than two years."
Battle for Rome Rages Unabated
(International News Service)
The battle for Rome continued with unabated fury today as Allied troops hurled themselves northward along the main approaches to the city.
Hottest spot of the embattled sec or appeared to be the Velletri-Valmontone area, 20 miles south of Rome.
Nazi propagandists admitted an Allied advance into the anchor town of Velletri where according to the enemy, "dramatic street fighting" now is raging. Other German broadcasts indicated that their Liri valley line had been forced to the north under Allied pressure.
Air blows again were leveled against Hitler's fortress by Allied planes operating from bases in the Mediterranean and Britain. Between 500 and 750 bombers from the Italian area struck at the Ploesti oil fields in Rumania where they scored hits on at least one important refinery and left clouds of smoke visible many miles away. Anti-aircraft fire was heavy returning crew members reported.

Dear Editor:
In presenting the 29-year-old film, "Birth of a Nation," the Student Forums Board meant no injustice to Negroes. It was obvious in its prejudice, and if such a movie cannot be shown to a supposedly intelligent audience composed of University students and faculty members, where can it be shown?
Desiring above all things to promote the cause of a working democracy with equality of opportunity to all, the Student Forums Board would be only too happy to show a film portraying the Negro in true circumstances, and probably not this time, as in "Birth of a Nation," directed by the son of a Confederate soldier.
The Board felt it its duty to give students this rare opportunity to see the widely discussed, great motion picture. Certainly no student, knowing what he does about the Ku Klux Klan, could honestly cheer the riders on their way, even with the "Poet and Peasant Overture" to create the mood.
Help us get the film, Mr. Burton and we'll run it.

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
"Farce" Is Right—Pi Phi's Freshman Farce Day, celebrated last week, turned out to be a series of backfires from which the freshmen are still recovering. The idea of the annual event is that for one day pledges become acts, and viceversa. And what happened to the "idea" this year is painful history to the beaten pledges.
Things began to happen about dinner time, when, with the actives securely tied, the pledges sat down to enjoy a chicken dinner and chocolate cake. But someone must have forgotten that the active Pi Phis are handy with lines, and surprised by a mass attack, the freshmen found themselves sitting on the chapter house steps, with the actives and the meal inside.
Undaunted, they pooled what money they had, borrowed two dollars from the Sigma Chis, and enjoyed hamburgers at the Dine-A-Mite. Then, in spite of a downpour, the annual Farce Day serenade began. After frightening—only too literally—eight PTs, the pledges turned their attention to the frats,

Between vocal passages of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" sung by Betty Dell Mills, contralto, a cornet trio composed of Eugene Arnold, Don Diehl, and Keith Bunnel, played the chorus is soft muted tones. As another featured soloist with the band, Lonnie Kelly skillfully manipulated the trombone in "Kije's Wedding" (S. Prokofiev).
Popular Songs Featured

Charlene Coomber, accordian soleist, presented "Dark Eyes" in such a manner as to prompt the audience to recall her for an encore "Rose of Spain."
Following the stately calmness of "Larghetto" (Ernest Williams), the band presented the vigorous march
