Yanks Hold One-Third of Cologne Fourth Largest German City; Much of the City Undamaged
(International News Service)
The great citadel of Cologne gradually crumbled today to overwhelming American armed strength. The rear guard Nazi defenders fell steadily back toward the cathedral and the river as they fought bitterly to hold the city.
Dispatches from war correspondents indicated that despite the air bombing saturation, much of the city remains undamaged.
American troops now hold one third of the city, Germany's fourth largest and guardian of the gateways into the heart of the Reich, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower announced. Troops of the United States. Ninth army
headquarters said, are closing up their bridgehead on the west bank of the Rhine from Wesel to Neuss where the Germans still are fighting a desperate rear guard action.
Canadians Approach Xanten
The 103rd infantry division of the first army reached six miles north of Colgne. First army forces took 3,655 prisoners in the last 24 hours. On the Canadian First army front, headquarters said, the Canadian forces pushed to within one mile of Xanten.
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's Third army forces were engaged in heavy fighting along a 30-mile front in an area three miles northeast of Trier to nine miles east of Fruen. In the past 24 hours the third army took 1002 prisoners. The American Seventh army was engaged in stiff fighting west of Forbach.
Reds Reach Oder River Mouth

Soviet troops under Marshall Gregory K. Zhukov have reached the mouth of the Oder river after an advance of 30 miles, the Nazi D N.B. agency reported.
In the Pacific Gen. Douglas MacArthur's ground troops were on the verge of complete victory on Luzon island in the Philippines. Veteran Marine units closed in remorselessly on the last Japanese defenders of Iwo Jima. According to Tokyo radio broadcasts American paratroopers have landed on the island.

Juelich, Germany — "One good strong heave together soon will end the war in Europe." Prime minister Winston Churchill told reporters in this Nazi captured town today on his first visit to Germany since the war began.

Fifty-Three Leave KU with Degrees
Although no induction ceremony was planned, 53 students completed their work for bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees at the end of the winter semester.
Of these, 36 were graduated from the College, and 17 from the professional 'schools. Nine V-12 students also completed their work and will leave the University.

After a three-day hibernation, Jayhawkers emerged, minus Dr. Cannon'ses the ban—big, bad bags under the eyes—and set out on a spree. Since they had exhausted their supplies of cigarettes during final week and bummed from everyone in sight, the first call was for their favorite brand at all local grocery and drug stores and cafes. The typical line was, "Well, here I am back from K.U. on vacation. You know my dad of

After a week of visiting around from town to town and writing letters to V-12's whom they had to let out of their sight, K.U.'s Joe Jayhawker and Betty Oread returned to the campus, struggled through enrollment, and settle down.

Play 'Macbeth' Next Attraction
Students returning to the campus this week were reminded today that the scenes from Macbeth are to be presented by the department of speech in Fraser theater Thursday and Friday evenings.
Heading the cast is Prof. Allen Crafton, who with Mrs. Crafton opened Fraser theater in 1928 in the performance of Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
They both have acted together in Berries's "Mary Rose," in "Beggar on Horseback" "Outward Bound" "Eva the Fifth" "Distant Drums" "False Gods," and many other plays over the intervening years.
According to old timers, their finest performance, was in O'Casey's Irish play "Juno and the Paycock," which was presented for five performances in 1930.
In their present production of "Macbeth" Mrs. Craft will play Lady Macbeth, Mr. rafton, Macbeth, and Mr. Calder, or. Banquo.

The ratio of two women to every man still exists on the campus, according to a statement by Mr. Woodruff.
Ten years ago the enrollment at the University reached a peak of 4,000 students, which neared the maximum of 4,254 in 1930. The enrollment this year is almost half that of ten years ago.
Included in the enrollment at the University are the units of army and navy medical students, as well as the V-12 trainees. The number of servicemen leaving the campus is about equal to those matriculating from other schools.
Twenty-one veterans, whose training has been approved by the veteran's administration, have enrolled in the University for the new semester, Leonard H. Axe, director of the veteran's bureau, announced.
Of this number sixteen are entering under the vocational rehabilitation act and five under the G.I. Bill of Rights, Mr. Axe said. They have enrolled in the School of Engineering and Architecture, the School of Business, and the College of Liberal Arts.
At the beginning of the last semester, 60 veterans were attending the University, and Mr. Axe estimated that this number would increase to 75 for the present semester.
Campus to Have Stadium Drive
"If I could get a $100 bond or a check for that amount from each of the 30 organized houses on the Hill, it would really mean something." said E. C. Quigley, director of athletics. Today in reference to a coming campus drive to help erase the stadium debt.
Director Quigley said that he plans to confer with the All-Student council soon in regard to a plan for reaching the students for donations, and that the drive probably will begin the first week in April. He will leave it up to the council as to means of conducting the campaign having the council do as it sees fit about house-to-house cavassing and appointment of committee chairman.
"Of a goal of 135 $100 bonds set arbitrarily in Lawrence," Mr. Quiglye said, "we are now between third base and home plate. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd have the entire quota by the middle of next week." The Chamber of Commerce of Lawrence assisted Mr. Quigley by giving him a complete list of every business man in town and by giving him two men at a time to work on the city drive with him.
The next interest paying date is June 1st, according to Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association, Mr. Quigley said today that they expect to take care of at least 30 per cent of the entire debt at that time.
Nineteen candidates were nominated for class vice-presidents in the recent class elections at the University of California.

Lawrence Students Stage Pep Rally
A group of Lawrence students, mindful of their duty to uphold K.U. traditions, gathered at the Union Pacific station last Thursday and staged a semblance of a rally for the departing basketball squad. Two cheerleaders, about 25 girls, two boys, and one dog, yelled their loudest, while the team and coaches stood by, appreciative of their efforts.
Phog Allen and Coach Schaake made short talks, saying that the students showed a great deal of spirit to come down and see the boys off. Phog said, "at exactly 7:29 tomorrow night, these boys will be thinking of you and what you've done for them tonight."
As the team boarded the train, chants of traditional "Give em hell Kansas—to hell with Iowa State," wafted after them, and as the train pulled out, the grinning team, standing in the aisles, smiled and waved at the screaming congregation.
The Lawrence students carried on for the students who could be there to stage a musical KJU rally.

Term Begins With Cold Wave And Snow Storm
Students went to their first classes today in a snow-storm which ended by mid-morning with a depth of three inches of the white covering.
The precipitation came on the heels of a north wind that dropped the temperature 20 degrees within an hour Monday forenoon, and saw a low reading of 12 degrees above zero at 7 o'clock this morning.
The sun broke through at times during the day, but it was insufficient to bring the temperature above freezing.
The cold wave was general throughout the Middle West and East. The wind caused the snow to drift in places, but its depth was not enough to endanger traffic.

New Course Offers Ground School Class And Flight Training
K. U. students are again afforded the opportunity to take actual flight training with a ground school course this semester. The new course designated as AE 45, is directly supervised by the department of aeronautical engineering and the Ong Aircraft corporation is cooperating with the University to make flight training available to the students.
Students must enroll in the ground course which will give them three hours of credit if they wish to take the flight training. The ground course will include meteorology, navigation, civil air regulations, and general service of aircraft.
The class room work and the flight training are both approved by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and students making passing grades in the course who have reached 18 years of age, are eligible to take the CAA test for their private pilot's license. Students making passing grades in the course who are not 18 years old, may take the test when they obtain that age.
"The only pre-requisite for the course is a genuine interest in aviation," said C. H. McMillan, manager of the Lawrence airport. Full details concerning the course may be obtained from William M. Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering.

Kansan Comments
Students Raise Faculty Disgust On Employment
Almost from the beginning of the war the weary home front has had a lot of fun I laughed at cartoons illustrating the change of attitude that will take place after the war between employer and employee, seller and consumer. The lady of the house who will no longer have to let the maid wear her fur coat to keep her, and the restaurateur who will have to take down his "customers we can get" signs are popular examples.
Everybody who has had contact with discourtesy, poorly done work, and the temperament of workers who take advantage of a labor shortage to be shiftless has made out a private black list of persons who won't get his patronage in the post war days when a choice is possible again.
It may shock them, but University students are going to find themselves on the black list of quite a few employers. They are the professors and staff members of the University who hire student help.
The students employment bureau,
in Miss Marie Miller's office, has
nanded many cases since the war of students who sign up for a job at a certain wage only to walk out on their employer when they find a job downtown with a five cent an hour raise. They usually do so in the middle of a term when the employer can not find anyone else to take the place. Students who might be interested in the job have already made out their schedules and have no time for the work.
If he stopped to realize what he is storing up for future University students who will need those jobs he is closing to them, the student might not be in such a hurry to work downtown. After every war there has been a depression when jobs are scarce. After the last one, students at K.U. were living in bare rooms with nothing but a cot and a small gas jet over which they heated the little food they could get to eat. National Youth Administration had to be set up to keep many students from starving. There just weren't enough jobs to employ all of the students who had to support themselves.
Rock Chalk Talk
The government is doing all it can to insure a postwar period without a depression, but there is bound to be come slackening off of prosperity. The students of five years from now are going to look back and curse the students of today for shutting off their opportunities to a college education if the present trend to take jobs lightly continues. —K.G.

Back to father and mother—K. U. students, deliberious over the thought of an 8-day vacation, groped their way through finals, boarded the nearest bus or train, and reeled home to bed. After parents succeeded in getting their offsprings aroused from their winter's naps, they saw little of them, for they were off to put their free moments to good use. Many couldn't stand separation from their buddies for a whole week, so they journeyed to neighboring towns to visit.

Started a quarter of a century ago, the annual contest for high school newspapers of Kansas is being conducted by the department of journalism with April 5 set as the closing date for entries.
High School Papers Hold Annual Contest
"Merit—not size—counts," is the slogan for the contest in which will include eight divisions of journalistic competition with winners of first, second and third places in each division.
The divisions are: news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to school, business management, and miscellaneous.
Because of war restrictions the high school journalism conference which for its 23rd year met on the campus in 1941, again will be postponed. At the close of the war and with restrictions removed, the 24th conference will be called.
McNaughton Killed Near Rome in Plane
Lt. James Leslie McNaughton, a student in the School of Engineering from 1936-42, was killed recently in a plane crash 60 miles north of Rome, according to a telegram from the war department.
Before serving in Europe, Lieutenant McNaughton was stationed in the South Pacific. He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received on a bombing mission near Munda, New Georgia.
Entering the service in October, 1942 as an AAF ground force cadet, Lieutenant McNaughton received his commission at Yale in March, 1943.

Women are a pack of copy-cats.
Two years ago college cuties were happy if their sloppy-joe sweater covered up their skirt. Then Lana Turner spoiled it all. College girls put up a bold front and supported the new cling-tight regime—until one day a blonde strolled down the campus in blue jeans. Hawk-eyed coeds knew "this was it," and every "on-the-ball" collegian added a pair to her wardrobe.
The well-girled Grecian beauties threw on a stole and spied on each other at the Parthenon. Even Cleopatra lifted her mascara long enough to read what Elizabeth Hawes had to say in the Daily Papyrus, because she knew the way to Anthony's heart depended on which smell of Chanel he liked best.

Women are funny. They laugh at silly hats and then blossom out in some bird's nest idea, because "my dear, it's the latest thing!" If Veronica forgets her bobby pins and lets her hair cover an eye, it immediately becomes the criteria for glamour.
Women are funny, but the world would get awfully monotonous without their trying to outdo each other. —E.A.B.

Fashion magazines and newspaper advertisements, running ahead of schedule as usual, are reminding their readers that spring is just around the corner. This has been going on for years. Even the cavewoman must have worried about "what to wear." It is an eternal trait of the female. The drapeshaped Roman belles may not have chattered over a foursome about the toga Mrs. Caesar was wearing, but it is certain they were on the warpath to get their three yards draped at the latest classical angle.

Scott, Reynolds Hit All-Star 'Dream Team'
Two Kansas cagers, Gordon Reynolds, forward, and Kirk Scott, guard, were named to the United Press all-Big Six basketball team which was announced yesterday. Other basketeers selected were Jim Myers, Iowa State, forward; Jack Landon, Oklahoma, center; and Bill Block, Iowa State, guard. No Jayhawkers were on the second team.
Scott, a senior engineer from Newton, lettered three years for the Railroaders under Frank Lindley. He was named all Ark Valley and allstate team member, and was a member of the 1942 state champions. He played under "Phog" Allen last year until restricted.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 6.1945
Reynolds, a senior pre-med from Tacoma, Wash., came to K. U. from Iowa State, and North Dakota State. At the latter school he was a varsity regular in basketball, averaging 12.1 points per game. His high school basketball team finished second in the state.
Coach Allen stated only a few weeks ago that Scott and Reynolds were what made the Jayhawks tick, and the observations of the opposing coaches seems to have borne him out.
University High Takes Second In Baldwin Meet
By doubling the score over Eudora, 42-21, and beating Wellsville, 33-27, the University High school won second place in the district basketball tournament at Baldwin March 1, 2, and 3, earning a spot in the regional meet at Washington Rural, Bethel; beginning Wednesday.
The University club saw its hopes for district championship die as it lost the final to De Soto, 31-15, Saturday night. De Soto led through the first half and until the third quarter when the University High team tied the score at 24-24. Then the winners fought their way to the narrow margin of victory.

Wellsville defeated Appanoose High school in the consolation game to become the third place team in the tournament. De Soto had beaten Appanoose, slowed by two cases of mumps on the squad, by only 1 point.

K.U. Shares a First In K.C. Track Meet
"There's got to be more consistency in the rulings of the Big Six track meets or the whole thing will get out of control," Ray Kanehl, Kansas track coach, insisted as he reviewed an incident in which Kratz of Nebraska fouled two runners at the Big Six indoor track meet Saturday in Kansas City.
Kratz deliberately plowed into John Jackson of Kansas and an Iowa State man who were running side by side, knocking the Cyclone runner across the tape in a sprawl and sending Jackson off stride. The foul was ignored at the time, yet in the evening Missouri was penalized for the same offense.

The Nebraska tactics were the same shown by the basketball team at Lincoln earlier in the year.
1899 The first basketball season at K-U opened in 1899.
Iowa State walked off with meet honors, scoring 40 points; Nebraska placed second with 33 points; while Missouri netted third place with 28 tallies. Kansas scored 12 points.
Jim Sargent tied for first in the high jump to give Kansas her only first place. Dean Patterson netted a second in the 60 yard low hurdles; Lynn Leigh placed fourth in the broad jump; and Norvall Jackson was fouth in the high hurdles. The relay team composed of John Jackson, John Stites, Leigh, and Kenneth Danneberg took second.
First Basketball in 1899
"Since 1929. I've seen five hot teams," recalled "Phog," and one was Nebraska when we met them at Lincoln this year." Allen stated that besides being hot on the basket, dropping them in from all angles, the Cornhuskers showed Kansas the roughest game he'd seen in years.
"Phog" Reviews 1945 Jayhawker Cage Records
Reviewing the 1945 basketball season this morning in his office where hangs a torn piece of John Lance's striped shirt, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen named the Kansas State game at Manhattan as the most exciting of the year, the Oklahoma game at Norman as the toughest, and the Nebraska game at Lincoln as the roughest.
Commenting on the class of 1945 Big Six ball-handling, the Jayhawk basketball coach said. "It's not up to pre-war stuff, of course, but I
When the Jayhawkers tackled the Sooners at Norman, the Oklahoma team was at the height of its power, according to "Doc" Allen. He said that Iowa State got a break by meeting the Sooners at Oklahoma City while K.U. had to invade the southerners' home court.
"The K-State game there was the peak of the season's excitement," Coach Allen said. "They were fighting for the championship. We had to win, but they were sure that they would win." He had nothing more to say about the fight that followed the game, when Referee Lance of Pittsburgh lost his shirt.
Col. Willard R. Wolfinbarger, graduate of the University in 1924 and deputy commander of the 13th Army air force fighter command, joined the "Caterpillar club" when he was forced to bail out of his P-38 Lightning high above the waters off a Dutch New Guinea beachhead.

was amazed at the way my boys turned out." Dr. Allen had picked Iowa State to win the championship, Oklahoma to take second and Missouri and Kansas to tie for fourth.
The coach said he is more interested in Red Cross, the blood bank and, Selective Service, his wartime duties, than in athletics. "We want to do the best with what we have and make a team for the boys across to read about," he added, sizing up his efforts in athletics.
Dr. Allen regretted the loss of Dean Nesmith from his staff in the middle of the season, and commended the work of the assistant coach, Elmer Schaake, saying, "He did a swell job, and his work aided in the morale and training of the team."
Lexington Acts To Clean Out Sports Gamblers
A clean-up of gambling places in Lexington, Ky., has resulted from the expose made by Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, according to word received yesterday by Dr. Allen from Horny Henrysby, sports editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader which campaigned against sports gambling.
"Some of the bookies now walking the streets with only honest work in sight are seeing daylight for the first time in years," Dr. Allen was informed.
Mayfair Is Out of Business
Byer and Berry at 119 East Main street; the Mayfair, largest of the shops which Allen named outright; and Bill Keith's at 1192 Main street along with 50 other bookie establishments in Lexington are out of business and their telephones are disconnected.
It is rumored that a police judge was half owner of one of the larger establishments.
Closing of the Mayfair also closed other types of gambling such as roulette and black jack. It was revealed that Ed Curd, gentleman farmer, owner, would have spotters at work when a customer with a big bank roll would appear, four or five house men would enter the game to fleece him. The least number employed was 20 persons.
Gamblers Still At Work
That the gamblers are leaving for other cities was revealed last week when, according to a press dispatch, one of the big Lexington gamblers was heard betting $1500 at a basketball game in Louisville and the matter was reported to the authorities.
"The gamblers still have hope for they are keeping up their mailing lists by sending out trivia in their reports," Dr. Allen said yesterday. He received some dope material from Buenos Aires given in evidence that such big time bookies as Dannenberg, of Chicago, are still in the business despite the fact that racing in this country has been stopped.

The 1944-45 Big Six championship race rolled to a finish last night in Columbia as the Missouri Tigers won cut over the Oklahoma Sooners 54-29 to gain a tie with the Oklahomaans for third place. The championship had already been decided last Friday right at Ames through Iowa State's triumph over the second place Kansas Javhawkers.
Tigers in Strong Second Half
The Tigers were hard pushed throughout the first half, barely leading at intermission, but consistent all around hitting pushed them into a lead the Sooners could not overcome. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers, bidding for their twelfth Big Six title, fell before the red hot Iowa State Cyclones at Ames Friday night, 61-29. The Jayhawks kept pace with the Lowans during the first half, trailing 27-20 at intermission, but a Cycle hitting streak that was unparalleled in Big Six competition this season gave the I-Staters an overwhelming lead which they continued to build up throughout the rest of the game.
Menge An Allen Pupil
"If we couldn't win the conference title there is no other team I would rather have win than Iowa State," remarked Coach Allen Monday morning. Allen had the consolation that one of his former pupils, Coach Louis Menze, a graduate of Central Missouri State Teachers College, guided the Cyclones to victory.
"They won fairly; it was a clean game, and I congratulate Iowa State." Dr. Allen concluded.

Big Six to Have A Sports Commissioner
The appointment of a Commissioner of athletics for Big Six Conference sports was recommended in a meeting of faculty representatives in Kansas City yesterday.
A meeting of the representatives next May will probably see action on a recommendation. The commissioner plan as proposed by George Veenker, athletic director at Iowa State, had unanimous approval at the directors meeting.
While the commissioner would not be a "Czaar" his powers could be changed by action of faculty representatives. Consideration of a plan to let any Big Six school play in a post season football game, giving a percentage of the proceeds to the conference treasury was urged, though most of the provisions of the plan would probably have to wait until the end of the war.
Prof. W. W. Davis is the University faculty representative.
Managers to Discuss Intramural Program
A meeting of team managers late this week or during the first part of next week will be called to discuss the next intramural sports in which students desire to participate, Ray Kanehli, assistant director of intramurals, announced today.
The particular sport of sports which the managers decide upon is entirely up to them, Mr. Kanehl indicated, though he added that volley ball, hand ball, or possibly a track meet are the more immediate possibilities.
In the intramural basketball tournament concluded near the end of last semester, the Residence Halls won first in the B League, the Phi Delt's were the champions of the A league, while the Beta's, runners-up in the B League, won the play-off.
Wildcat Coach Opens Spring Grid Session
Spring football practice under the direction of acting coach Ward Haylett began yesterday at Kansas State College. It is the first springtime grid session the Aggies have held since the start of the war.
Coach Haylett hopes to bolster his team with a crop of Kansas high school players expected to enroll at the Wildcat school in September. Eight lettermen have been lost to the armed forces while two others will be graduated by the start of next season.
Spring practice will last six weeks and end with an intra-squad game.

Bv EARL BARNEY
With the 1944-45 Big Six basketball pennant chase now a part of history, it might be interesting to make a hurried survey of the tangled race which wasn't decided until the last moment.
The Cyclone comeback was, to say the least, little short of spectacular. Twin defeats at the hands of the Kansas teams had slapped the Cyclos harder than any team had been hit up to that time. While the Iowans were idle for a week Kansas and Oklahoma proceeded to make a real race out of it, with the Jayhawkers coming out on the top of the heap and the season virtually over.
Iowa State Comes Back
The fighting Iowa Staters, never counting themselves out of the race, then handed the Sooners two rugged setbacks to vault into the race again. Their red hot winning streak then ended intact as they clipped the Jayhawkers wings at Ames last Friday night "That game at Ames" has always been a tough one for the Kansans, being almost the only place where the Jays have not won a majority of the games played between the rival schools. Orchids to "Phog"
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, amiable Kansas basketball coach, probably deserves as much praise as any coach in the conference for the way he took a squad with only one returning regular and constantly hampered by Navy rulings, and coached it to a runner-up slot in the final standings. Early season showings gave rise to comments that the good doctor was slipping, but the next ten or twelve games proved otherwise.

Topeka Upsets the Dope
It's tournament time in Kansas high school basketball circles once again, and this year as usual the race is wide open in all three divisions. The experts were looking fondly upon the performances of all the top Ark Valley teams and Salina, but a Topeka team which had been beaten twice by Salina trimmed Wichita North and Salina on successive nights to throw the seedings wide open again. So far it looks as if Topeka and either Chanute or Wyandotte will be the Eastern representatives in the semi-finals at Emporia the latter part of this month, and that Salina and Wellington will uphold the honor of the rest of the state. The Maroon five looked much more potent than the North aggregation in their performance against Topeka last weekend, but Wellington is still the team to beat this year.
The Class A division seems to be pointing to an all out battle between

"Phog" Allen Is Candidate In Primary Election Today
Wichita Cathedral and Anthony in the finals, with a little competition from perhaps Wamego and Seaman of Topeka in the East. Halstead Looks Good
Class B predictions are even more uncertain, because of the vast number of the smaller high schools throughout the state. Halstead, though, looks like a "shoo-in" this year, with probably Attica as the other Western team. Washburn Rural appears to be the best the East can offer, with possibly Olivet as the other contender. There are a number of other schools which may shade these teams in the course of tournament play, but they are for the most part untested outside their league.

Ballet Stars Perform for Large Crowd
Students and guests of the University Concert series crowded Hoch auditorium last night for the performance of 35 members of the San Francisco Ballet company with Gisella Caccialanza and William Christensen, director, choreographer and dancer with the troupe, in role stars.
The program consisted of three individual ballets with choreography done by Mr. Christensen and music done by two pianists, Fritz Berens and Reina Schivo. "Nutracker Suite," the first of the three, high-lighted by the Chinese dance and acrobatic Russian dance; the "Pas de Deux" by Miss Caccialanza and Mr. Christensen; and the colorful "Waltz of the Flowers," by the chorus.
The Spanish number, "Amor Espagnol," a love intrigue with plot and music from Masseen's "Le Cid," was starred by Rosalie Prosch and Mattlyn Gevurtz who vied for the affection of Joaquin Felsch. The colorful costumes of the chorus were unusual in this ballet.
"Winter Carnival," the third in the series was met with the greatest applause by the audience. Mr. Christensen and Miss Caccialanza again starred in a variety of Pas Seuls and Pas de Deux. Ballet costumes, lighting, and music, drawn from Johann and Josef Strauss, were added attractions. Novelties were the comedy of Robert Thorson, as the General, Wana Williams, the Mother of the carnival skating star; and the Intermezzo done between scenes by Mr. Fritz and Miss Schivo, the pianists.
The popularly received troupe will give another performance tonight in Kansas City at the Municipal auditorium.

Student Unknowingly Graduates

The temperature recording of five degrees above zero early today set a new low for the winter's weather schedule. Eight degrees above was the previous low recorded on Thursday, Nov. 30, 1944.
At nine a.m. today the temperature had climbed to 13 degrees. With rising temperatures the three inches of snow is beginning to disappear leaving the streets sloppy.

College Starts Course In General Biology For Underclassmen
General Biology, a course on the fundamental principles that underlie all biology, has been introduced by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a new three-hour course for freshmen and sophomores.
Stephen Durant, who taught a similar course at the University of Utah, will be the instructor. He is also doing graduate work in the department of zoology.
New students entering the University next fall will be required to take the course in general biology. Present courses in botany, entomology zoology, and physiology will be reduced to three hours. They will be required as a follow-up to general biology to complete the six hours of science required by all students beginning next year.
Reasons for this change, states Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, is to give the student a better understanding of man and his relationship to living things.
Although general biology is required, students have a choice in selecting one of the four advanced courses.

Bonn, Coblenz Face Seizure By Yank Forces
International News Service
The great German Rhine cities of Bonn and Coblenz were faced with almost imminent seizure by American troops today.
Victorious U.S. first army troops driving south from conquered Cologne closed in on Bonn from points less than three miles away while the third army of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton operating to the south scored an 11-mile advance.
At the same time, the Nazis reported that Premier Joseph Stalin's powerful army had launched two assaults on Berlin from the east and northeast. Danzig also was brought under direct Russian artillery fire as Soviet troops widened their positions along the Baltic sea.
Due to insufficient student help the Watson library may be unable to hold all desks open at night and hours may be curtailed. C.M. Baker, director of libraries, said today.
While the eastern and western fronts against Germany thus were brought closer together by the hour, a grim battle still raged on the Pacific islands of Owo Jima with bayonet attacks by American marines carrying them steadily deeper into the few remaining Japanese positions.
Tokyo announced widespread American air assaults against the home islands and elsewhere, white on Luzon in the Philippines, Gen Douglas MacArthur made final disposition for annihilation of the last Japanese still alive and in action.
Library Open Hours May Be Curtailed
Mr. Baker sent out an appeal today for more student night workers to relieve the regular staff. Ten students quit their library work at the end of the semester and new ones are slow to apply, he said. It is hoped that this shortage is due to incomplete schedules and that several students will sign up for work soon, so that the library may run on regular hours.
Neal B. Andreson, student at the University in 1942, was recently promoted to the rank of first lieutenant. A pilot in the top-scoring P-51 mustang fighter group of the Mediterranean theater. Lt. Andreson began his aviation cadet training shortly after entering the army air forces in February, 1943.
Andreson Promoted To First Lieutenant After 13 Missions
Since flying his first combat mission with the 15th air force in November, 1944, he has taken part in 13 flights over enemy territory, mostly as escort to the heavy bombers attacking oil targets and railroad installations in support of the forces in Northern Italy and of the Russian forces advancing on the Eastern front.
The large enrollment in the marriage course at the University of Washington necessitated its being divided into two sections.

Kansan Comments
World Shocked When France Refuses Allies
France shocked the world this week with her refusal to participate in the United Nations conference to be held in San Francisco. April 25. Because France was not a party to the Dumbarton Oaks conference at which a preliminary outline for a world security organization was drafted, she declined to join in sponsoring the conference called to consider the Dumbarton Oaks proposals.
United States-French relations have been strained since the first week of the invasion of North Africa. Friendliness was not stimulated with the liberation of France, and General Charles de Gaulle's failure to meet President Roosevelt at Algerians, on his way home from the Crimean conference, widened the gap of disagreement. Although it has been emphasized that France's
refusal to join as a sponsor for the San Francisco conference would not affect her prospects of becoming a permanent member of the world security council, it is surprising that any Allied nation would decline an opportunity to aid in preparing a charter for a national peace and security, which is the goal of the meeting.
France has by no means regained her former strength and prestige and cannot yet hope to be classed as a major world power. For this reason she was overlooked when the Crimean conference was planned by the Big Three. General de Gaulle cannot afford to be too haughty. A tentative United States program for $2,500,000,000 is a very necessary factor in the reconstruction of France. An extensive reconstruction program must be carried out by General de Gaulle before his nation can be recognized as the Big Fourth. However, sulking in a corner, refusing to participate in solving problems of prime importance to her welfare and the welfare of the world, is setting up a barrier to France's international recognition as a powerful member of the Allied Nations.
Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEX
O Captain, My Captain — Eileen O'Connor, Theta plodge, was aroused yesterday morning by a long distance call, which she thought was from a boy stationed in an Alabama camp. Picking up the phone, she said breathlessly, "Brick?" only to have a deep-voiced man reply, "No, this isn't Brick. It's Captain Coand-So, his commanding officer."
Eileen gasped, and stood hanging onto the phone, while the captain informed her that Brick had been chosen the outstanding cadet in his class, and that he could invite anyone he chose to his graduation this week with all expenses paid. Poor Eileen, absolutely sure that she had been dreaming, finally had to call on Brick's father, who had to call the Captain back to reassure Eileen. Now she's off to Alabama, her holder'd to see.

The Professor points out—Mr. Gibson, department of social science, got his new class in Social Science Survey off to a bangup start by admonishing them about being lax during the course, then coming and weeping on his shoulder after receiving grades.

Professor Gibson went on to say that if anyone felt the sudden urge to bubble over with information, especially in the ear of the cute coed sitting to the right, not to be a piker, but, "take her over to the Union and buy her a coke," he proposed.

Terre Haute, Ind.—(ACF)—When the Sycamores of Indiana State Teachers college defeated Crane Naval depot on Jan. 23, Coach Glenn Curtis chalked up his hundredth basketball victory.
Coach Glenn Curtis Records 100th Victory
This total was achieved in a little more than six years, for it was in 1938, after a disastrous cage campaign which produced a lone victory in eighteen contests, that Mr. Curtis was brought in from Martinville High school where his teams had established one of the outstanding scholastic records in the state. The new coach faced little difficulty in improving the mark of the previous season, but his success beyond that was remarkable. He quickly developed State's previously mediocre teams into aggregations respected throughout this section.
In the six and a third season he has been at the helm, his teams have won 98 of their 135 games for winning percentage of .726. Never has one of his squads finished on the minus side of the won and lost ledger. One of the best records was piled up by last season's outfit, which won 17 and lost 4. Asked how he ranked his present squad with those of past years, the Coach opinioned, "Well, this team certainly had courage and spirit; in the last two weeks it has shown as much of this as any squad I've ever had."

Meet to Be Held Here April 21 For High Schools
The forty-first annual interscholastic track and field meet for Kansas high schools will be held at Memorial stadium on April 21. B. C. Quigley, director of athletics, has announced.
The meet the past three years has been held on Saturday on the date of the annual Kansas relays. It was formerly held on Fridays, preceding the relays. Since the relays have been discontinued for the duration of the war, the date for the high school meet has been changed to Saturday.
The meet this year will be run in three sections, class AA, Class A, and class B. in keeping with the sizes of the various high schools. In the past the meet has been run off in two groups, class A and class B.
Last year the class A winner was Wichita East, and Clearwater high school won the class B title. The event last year was run off in a downpour rain.

The Oklahoma Aggies will be carrying the hopes of the Big Six-Missouri Valley district when they ride into the NCAA western finals in Kansas City soon. Though the Cowboys have never been on our list of "o.k." teams, the best wishes of this column rides with the Oklahomans all the way.

A Plug for the Big Six
The various statements that Big Six basketball is below per-war standards may be quite true, but this is no reason for giving the conference the go-by in rating teams throughout the nation. The Oklahoma Aggies, listed as one of the top five teams in the nation this winter, had plenty of trouble getting by the Oklahoma Sooners the three times the two schools met this season, being forced to come from behind near the end of the game to take the last encounter—and Oklahoma finished in a tie for third in the conference. The Iowa Hawkeyes, undisputed champion of the Western Conference this season with only one defeat, had to use every trick in the books to trounce Nebraska in a pre-season encounter, and look where the Cornhustlers finished in the Big Six!
A Defensive Conference
Other than these games, there is little on hand to compare the conference with the outside world. But just the same, the Big Six has not slipped any more than any other conference or independent team throughout the country. True, there were no human trees gracing Big Six squads this season, but since when did the Big fellow make a basketball team good? Other teams' stars may have averaged twenty or twenty-five points a game this winter, but the Big Six has always been one of the tightest defensive leagues in the country, what with Oklahoma and Kansas both in it.

important to state play, because Ward and Topeka are both powers in the east this year. Ward being a decidedly hot and cold team. Lawrence may provide the big upset, however, by knocking off the Kansas City school.
A Plug for Volleyball
As we remember, a very successful volley ball tournament was held last spring about this time as part of the University intramural sports program. May we put in a good word or two for another tournament to follow the basketball games just completed. There are very few sports requiring faster thinking and better body coordination than volleyball, and it is definitely not the "sissy" sport that many think it. Competition was been last spring, and there is more than one intense rivalry existing on the Hill these days. How about it, managers?

At College in Pittsburg
Pittburg, Kan.—(ACP)—Vetans attending Kansas State Teachers college recently decided that their organization will be known as the Ex-Service men and Women club or E.S.M.W. The club is patterned after the vocational club, the members of which were known as the "Vocates" who were active during the training period following World War I.
Some of the objectives of this group are: (1) To aid members in fitting themselves into the regular college program, (2) to study and keep abreast with veteran affairs, new legislation, training and placements, (3) to aid new men and women who come into the veterans program, to get oriented in institutional affairs, (4) to study all opportunities of training, (5) to discover talent in the group, (6) social affairs for the group and (7) a sport program.

Legislature Approves $800,000 To Remodel Library, Fowler Shops Lindley Hall, University Hospital
Ruth Anderson Returns to Teach Ruth Anderson, who was graduated from the School of Pharmacy in March, 1944, is now an instructor in the School of Pharmacy this semester.
Funds totaling $800,000 for the improvement of three buildings on the campus and one at the University of Kansas hospital, in Kansas City, Kan., were approved by the 1945 Kansas legislature yesterday.
The building bill passed through the Senate Tuesday and through the House of Representatives yesterday with an overwhelming majority.
Watson library will be extender to the west to provide additional reading and reference rooms. Fowler hall, the present quarters for the engineering shops, will be released to the journalism department. A modern fireproof shop building will be added to the south end of the Mineral Resources building.
The William Allen White School of Journalism will occupy Fowler shops after the building is remodelled. Four stories are to be added to the connecting corridor at the University hospital.
Ruth Anderson Returns to Teach
Work will commence on these improvements as soon as it is possible to acquire building materials. No definite dates have been scheduled for beginning the work.
Anderson Will Give Organ Vesper Recital On Sunday Afternoon
The organ vesper recitals will be resumed Sunday afternoon, March 11, when Laurel Everette Anderson, university organist, will present a program of organ selections from Hanel, Bach, Ghys, Brahms, and Simonds.
Mr. Anderson, who has been at the University since 1927, is a professor in theory and organ. He received his bachelor of music degree from Oberlin in 1921 and his master degree from there the following year. While he attended Oberlin, he was a pupil of George Whitfield Andrews and Arthur Heacox.
Following two years as head of the organ and theory department at Grinnell college, Mr. Anderson went to Paris where he studied organ under Joseph Bonnett and Louis Vierne, and composition from Raoul Laparra. He was organist of the American church while he was in Paris.
Mr. Anderson has done extensive organ recital work and has appeared at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago and at the National Convention of the American Guild of Organists.
The recital on Sunday afternoon will begin at 4:00 and will last approximately an hour.
Davis to Speak At Convocation
Jerome Davis, foreign correspondent for Canadian and American newspapers, will speak on "Russia As I Saw It" Wednesday in Hoch auditorium in the first convocation of the spring semester. Mr. Davis has just returned from a 10 months' visit in the Soviet Union.
Leaving the United States in the summer of 1943, Mr. Davis spent several weeks in England where he interviewed many leading people and visited English army camps. He left England in October for Russia, stopping at Lisbon, Cairo, and Teheran. He stayed at the latter city for several days waiting for proper weather to fly over the mountains into Russia.
He spent one night each in Baku and Astrakhan, four days at Stalingrad, and arrived in Moscow on Nov. 5.
From the fall of 1940 until leaving for Europe, Mr. Davis was director of the Prisoner-of-War work in Canada for the Y. M. C. A. World alliance. His father, Jerome Dean Davis, lieutenant colonel in the Civil war and missionary - statesman, founded the first Christian university, Doshisha, in Japan.
Mr. Davis is author or co-author of 14 volumes on international, economic, social, and religious questions. He has written articles for the Atlantic Monthly, Century, New Republic, Nation, Survey, and Collier's magazines.
Mr. Davis has taught at Boston university, Dartmouth college, Harvard, the University of Wisconsin, and in the New School for Research in New York. For three years he was president of the American Federation of Teachers.
Thayer Exhibit Shows Samplers
Twenty six from the 68-piece Thayer museum collection of 17th, 18th, and 19th century samplers are being shown this month in the north galley on the second floor of the Museum.
Macbeth Is Story of Man Who Wed 'Dumb' Wife
These samplers were made by young girls from the ages of 8 to 14 to show their mastery of the alphabet and the needle. They became a kind of formal picture in which skill and beauty of stitching were represented. The samplers contain maps, sentimental poems, and Bible quotations done for the most part on linen. One sampler was done by the mother of Prof. E. M. Hopkins, when she was 13 years old.
Red Cross Drive Yields First Results
There are three Spanish samplers, one Italian, and one French, as well as early American ones on exhibit.
Along with this exhibit, two cases of Pennsylvania-Dutch slip-decorated pottery are featured. These dishes have all been used for baking purposes.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, director of the University Red Cross drive, announced yesterday that he had mailed letters to all faculty members and employees of the University, soliciting funds for the campus quota. The letters, which were delivered Monday morning, have already shown results. More than 100 contributions had been received by noon today. Allen reported that some persons had brought their contributions before the letters were sent out.
Allen has designated Robinson gymnasium as the central location to which contributors may come. Allen will turn the money over to the general drive headquarters downtown. Last year the University contributed more than $4,000 to the Red Cross War fund.
"Macbeth' is another story of a man who married a dumb woman, and it is a convincing demonstration of the 'Gang Buster's' radio slogan: 'Crime Doesn't Pay,'" Prof. Allen Crafton said today. "A number of critics have declared that it is the greatest tragic play in the English language."
Plans for organization of the student drive are well underway, and Allen expressed his confidence in the full cooperation of the students in this undertaking.
The production of "Macbeth" starring Prof. and Mrs. Crafton tonight will depart from the traditional method of presenting Shakespeare, added Professor Crafton. The play has been cut and streamlined into the domestic tragedy centering
Persons attending the performance tonight or Friday night in Fraser theater are asked to be on time. The doors will close promptly at 8:15. No admission will be charged.

The crossing was made at 4:30 p.m. (11:30 a.m.) yesterday.

Dr. Miessner Tells Of War Music Meet In Chicago Last Week
The advances were described in a special order of the day by Premier Marshall Joseph Stalin.
At a recent meeting of the council Dr. Messner made a pea for the democratization of music by providing music instruction in schools without the payment of private lesson fees, so that it may no longer be "a luxury for the privileged few in a country where mass education is an accepted fact."
Dr. W. O. Miessner, chairman of the department of music education, returned Sunday from Chicago where he attended a meeting of the Music War Council of America of which he is the head of the music in education committee.
The Music War council was organized in March, 1942. Its activities include the collecting of musical instruments for the armed forces and veterans hospitals and the sending of phonographs to military units in all parts of the world.
Dr. Miessner also urged "the liberation of American music from the European domination of our different musical institutions and enterprises," as he told of the tendency on the part of many people to worship foreign artists and the music of foreign composers.
Classes Permanently Set This Week
"Class switching will be halted after this week," announced Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, today. "All students in the college who may for some reason find it necessary or advisable to change to another class, must do so this week," he said.
He feels that this decision will first of all help the students since the semester is but 16 weeks long, and late enrollment in a class robs them of the first important class days. The tell-tale results too often show up at the end of the semester, he commented.
Earlier in the year Dean Lawson urged students to take fewer hours and do a better job.
With the Allied victories along the Rhine, came news of new Soviet successes. Russian troops gained control of 70 miles of the Cedar river's western bank, pushing to within 28 miles of Berlin.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 8, 1945
Kansan Comments
Politics Ruin Fair Elections In Activities
The All Student Council has been commended this year for two projects: student evaluation of teachers and the University curriculum, and the possible enforcement of a point system. With both projects the governing body hopes to place in the minds of the students and faculty the high value of their respective responsibilities and so raise the standards of the University. Both projects are praiseworthy, but the ASC has allowed to remain dormant the more important issue of a corrupt campus political system, a program which the council has the power and supposedly the duty to reform.
The right to vote always has been considered the very basis of democracy in the United States. Not so at the University! Here students are drafted by houses to vote as a block for a candidate who has been nominated by a caucus of representatives. To retain the good will and to appease the group or organized house, the caucus selects a representative from that group to run as candidate for the office. All members of the respective political parties will then be regimented to vote for the candidates. When a small group meets to select certain individuals to run for office keeping in mind only the good will of an organized house or an influential group and ignoring the fitness of the candidate, then are destroyed all the democratic ideals and steps toward progress for which the University strives.
Individual council members are fully aware of this existing evil, but as a group they have allowed it to remain undisturbed. With the pending spring election, the ASC should act immediately to complete their program of reform. Until politics have been eliminated from elections in the campus organizations, the University cannot expect the most competent students to be elected to carry the responsibilities of the various offices. It is only logical that the potentialities of each club and organization cannot be realized without officers who can recognize and develop those potentialities. Such officers must be discovered by the students and elected on their own merits, not by voters drafted from individual houses that have agreed to support a candidate of their political party.
Undoubtedly political parties are necessary for election of the University's governing body, but political favoritism should not be exhibited in the non-partisan clubs. It is the duty of the ASC to remedy the unfair practice.

Brain-bud — For originality and realism in signatures, the prize this week goes to Lila Jean Doughman, Theta, for the two scrawny bird legs which she draws for her John Henry. The prize? Oh yes, a package of bird food for the invisible bird. How about it, "birdlegs?"
Grin and Bear It—Being the only male in the Jayhawk office, Earl Stanton, Phi Gam, takes a terrific beating from the bosses, Beverly Bohan and Mary Morrill. Earl attributes his ability to "take it" to his-ah-figure. The insults bounce right off.
Another Beauty Queen?—Joanna Wagstaff, Theta, received quite a blow to her pride during vacation when she visited Nancy Tomilson at her home in Fort Worth. It seems that the Tomilson maid approached Nancy's mother one day and commented on Joanna's "homliiness." Mrs. Tomlinson stared unbelievably at the maid until the colored woman went on to explain that what she really meant was that Joanna seemed to fit into the family so well.

Fighting moisture and fungus communication's jungle enemies
Ever-present dangers to military communications are the twin enemies of the jungle—moisture and fungus. By impairing the efficient working of telephones and radios, they can halt vital messages as effectively as cutting the wires.
The long experience of Bell Laboratories engineers in designing telephone equipment for use under all climatic conditions has helped the Signal Corps in counter-attacking these enemies of the jungle.
Lessons learned in this wartime emergency will aid in building better communications equipment for war and peace.

MISTER PELTZ IS PEEVED!
Mister P. sells charts. Pie-charts, bar-charts, fever-charts—in pink and green and purple—proving anything you want.
He has a nice new chart on the cost of living. It shows the price of practically everything curving sharply up after war began.
But one price stubbornly stays down at prewar levels. It's the price of electricity. It upsets the neat cost-of-living curves. It upsets P.P. Peltz. He's peeved.
We're sorry to offend Mister Peltz, but glad that we've been able to keep electricity plentiful and cheap when so many things are scarce and expensive.
It hasn't been easy to serve busy homes and booming war plants at the same time—with the friendly, efficient service we like to give. But all our folks have pitched in and worked hard to make it possible.

Sprina Drill Starts March 19 With Small Squad, Big Hopes
Spring football practice will start March 19, with 17 of last year's squad expected to report. Coach Henry Shenk announced this morning.
Recruits are expected to fill out the roster which includes nine letterman of the fall season. Leroy Robison and Charley Moffett are the only gridsters reporting this spring who were also on the 1944 spring squad.
Three of the eligible list, Milford Collins, John McDermott, and Leroy Robinson, are working for Ray Kanehl on the track team, and Charley Moffett and Gordon Reynolds are just completing their basketball play.
The squad will work on fundamentals and teamplay to begin with, finishing off the spring season with a little scrimmaging and a game between the old and the new squads, according to Coach Shenk.
The men expected to report March 19 are Tom Bailey, Garland Cantrell (letter), Milford Collins, Dud Day (letter), Bob Gove, Wayne Hird (letter), Kenneth Knuth, Dorwin Lankin (letter), Cecil Langford (letter), John McDermott, Lester Mische, Charley Moffett (letter), William nims, Gordon Reynolds (letter), Leroy Robison (letter), Don Stockdale (letter), and Earl Stanton.
'Lack of Sleep Poor Diets Cause Much Sinus Trouble'
—Roberts
Poor diets and lack of sleep are to blame for much sinus trouble, states Dr. Sam E. Roberts, professor of otolaryngology at the University of Kansas Hospitals, in a recent report based on observation of 4,000 sinus patients over a period of eight years.
Dr. Roberts' report was made to the American academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology at a recent meeting of that organization in Chicago.
If the average person would sleep more and eat the right kinds of food, there would be less sinus trouble, according to Dr. Roberts. The right foods are easily available, but they are not the ones found in bakery shops, candy, and drug stores, he says.
"The 'no breakfast habit' is another item that makes it no wonder that we are a nation of sinus sufferers." declared Dr. Roberts.
"People with poor appetites tend to select high carbohydrate foods of low vitamin content. There are those who argue the average American
Reynolds - Moffett Rank Third - Seventh In Big Six Scoring
Gordon Reynolds and Charles Moffet, fancy shooting K.U. forwards, both placed in the first ten in Big Six individual scoring, according to records released yesterday. Reynolds scored 105 points in the ten games for a 10.5 points per game average to place third, while Moffett's 90 point earned him seventh place.
Jim Myers of Iowa State netted top honors with a 13.1 points per game average in ten games, and Art Peterson, star of the cellar dwelling Nebraska Cornhuskers, finished in second place with a 12.4 average. Peterson was in first place until passed by Myers in the Cyclones' last game of the season.
Though no new records were set Charlie Moffett's 29 points scored against Missouri in the Jayhawk's last home game was easily tops in individual performances for the season, the total near the Big Six record.
U. High Advances In Regional 'B' Meet
The team will meet the Edwardsville quintet tonight. Both teams have won all of their games except those with DeSoto. Other games in the opening brackets of the tournament gave DeSoto a 52 to 29 victory over Troy; Edwardsville won over Louisburg, 52 to 27; and Spring Hill defeated Linwood, 55 to 24.
University High moved into the semi-finals of the class B regional basketball tournament at Washington Rural last night by defeating Highland 47 to 43.
Two games in the class A schedule will be played at Washington Rural tonight. Rosedale meets Turner, and Washington Rural will play Bonner Springs.
diet is ample. I will agree that ample food is available even under rationing and at modest cost at our grocery stores, fruit and vegetable markets," his paper to the academy read.
His report also stated that fatigue has been present to some degree in 87 per cent of his adult patients. Too little sleep is a bad habit, he said.
"With little rest," he continued,
"you cannot expect to have a healthy mucous membrane or an alert brain and yet be free from aches and pains."
'Fireball' Supply Line Deliveries Sparked by Three Jayhawkers
Three Kansans, two of whom attended the University, Lt. William K. Swinehart, Topeka; Lt. Earnest J. Buckles, Jr., Garnett; and Flight Officer Carlos C, Spikes, Hutchinson, are helping achieve a new transportation triumph in the Fireball express.
Lt. Swinehart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene V. Swinehart, 4153 Cessna Drive, Wichita, attended Lawrence High school and received an AB degree in journalism at the University. Before entering the AAF, he was advertising representative for Capper Publications, Inc., Topeka. Lt. Swinehart is a pilot with 1,000 air-hours and 22 over-water deliveries.
The Fireball, a winged supply line,
is backstage reason for much of the
success of our air and ground forces in China. From the AAF Air Transport Command's Miami Army Air field, hub of Carribbean division routes, giant cargo planes speed vital war material, mail, medicine and men to the China-Burma-India theater of war. ATC's Fireball Express planes, now flying a million miles a month, have chalked up nearly 40 million ton-miles since Nov. 16, 1943, and have spanned the Atlantic more than 2,000 times.

An open letter to Mr. C. E. McBride:
Dear Sir: We note with mixed emotions your sport column of March 7 in which you compare the presentation speeches made by E. C. Quigley, athletic director of the University of Kansas, and Dale Arbuckle, acting director of the University of Oklahoma, during the awarding of the Cunningham and Lyda track trophies at the Big Six indoor track meet last Saturday.
A Crack at Quigley
We don't intend to question the veracity of your information; it is by all means correct. However, the method of presentation is another thing. Your cleverly worded commentary takes a very definite lefthanded crack at director Quigley, one of the most liked and respected men in collegiate and professional sports.
You offer no reason whatsoever for the stand you take. Moreover, you make no attempt to explain the remarks which the two men made. Take Mr. Quigley's statement for example. According to your report, he stated to Rick Arlen, Iowa State miler: "You have won this trophy for two years, Rick, but I hope a Kansas man beats the devil out of you next year."
Mr. Quigley would be the last person on earth to make such a statement with any degree of hatred or reluctance. Naturally, anyone presenting a memorial trophy inaugurated by his school to an athlete from another school would
Students Can Still Make Appointments for Physical
On the day of enrollment for the new semester, 60 students were given their physical examinations at Watkins hospital. Those who enrolled after Monday, March 5, will have opportunity to report to the hospital during some free hour to make a special appointment for their physical examinations.
McMorris Stresses R.O.T.C. Importance
R. O. T. C. training in basic military subjects is available at the University, Col. W. L. McMorris reemphasized in an interview this morning.

Applicants may apply at R.O.T.C. headquarters in the Military Science building between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. any day.

possess some sort of a hope that the trophy would "come home" next year. Otherwise the awarer could hardly be considered a normal human being.
K. U. Gets a Raw Deal
Perhaps Mr. Quigley shouldn't have spoken the sentiment which Mr. Arbuckle undoubtedly felt, Still, it was undoubtedly said as part of a prepared speech to liven up the monotony of the evening.
K. U. coaches are taking somewhat of a verbal beating these days, but most of it has come from other regions. It is bad enough listening to their remarks without having to take it from our own region also. So please, let's leave the derogatory remarks for someone else.
We'll Take Scott
The Associated Press and United Press all-Big Six basketball teams showed general agreement with respect to first string players except in the case of Kirk Scott, star Kansas guard. Instead, Jay Payton, K-State back-courter, was named. As to a comparison of merits of the two players, Scott played rings around the Aggie star in both conference games between the two schools. Although Scott didn't tally as many points during the season as Payton, we see no reason for dropping the Newtonian all the way down to honorable mention. We'll take the UP selections and wallop the best aggregation that AP or anyone else can muster, with "Scotty" doing most of the "walloping."

Flying Club Plans Three Hour Session In Air Each Week
"The first regular session of the Flying Club began at 8 a.m. today, announced William H. Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering. There will be three sessions a week giving each member three hours flying time each week. About 17 persons are enrolled under Charles H. McMillan, flight instructor at the airport. Mr. McMillan has a fine safety record, and is a very competent man for the position," said Mr. Simpson. Mr. McMillan is the manager of the local airport.
"The Flying Club," said Mr. Simpson, "is to be permanent, operating every semester as a regular part of school. The reasons for forming the club were to make it possible to obtain a pilot license at a reduced rate; and with the approval of the Civil Aeronautical Administration have a reduction in the total hours needed for getting a license."
Prof. Simpson also reports that the ground school class will begin next Tuesday. There are two sections of the ground school known as the A.E. 45. Primary ground school gives three hours of University credit.
Mr. Simpson advised that late enrollment in the club will still be accepted. Most of the members are University students, but townspeople over 16 years of age are eligible.

"Applicants should leave their name, address or telephone number at the Kansan business office," Kouns said.
Satisfaction was expressed by the University administration officials today as they saw their requests for the biennial salaries, wages, maintenance, and repairs accounts granted by the legislature.
Successful candidates are promoted to advertising assistants, and if ability is shown, further advancement to managerial positions is considered.
Tryouts for the advertising staff of the Daily Kansan will be conducted during the next few weeks, Charles Kouns, advertising manager announced today.
The amount asked by the Board of Regents for 1946 was $1,495,618 and for 1947 $1,531,418. This included increases in the salary budget, which would be spread over additional faculty members and some increases in salaries of those already employed.
Committee Restores Request
"The passage of this bill is a gratifying recognition on the part of the legislature of the University's service to the state under present difficult wartime conditions," said Chancellor Dean W. Malott, "and a further recognition of the responsibility of the school to the youth of the state in postwar years."
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel yesterday signed the bill appropriating money for buildings at state colleges and at the University of Kansas hospitals. The bill includes the library extension, Fowler shops remodeling for journalism and the Lindley hall extension.

"Macbeth" Fills House, Craftons Repeat Tonight
Attending the first performance of "Macbeth" last night in Fraser theater, was the largest first night audience since before the war, stated Prof. Allen Crafton today. The theater held an almost capacity audience.
"Macbeth" will be presented again tonight at 8:15 with Professor and Mrs. Crafton in the leading roles. The doors will close promptly at curtain time.
"The audience seemed to like it and many came backstage following the production to show their appreciation," Prof. Crafton added. Only 12 scenes were presented because of the lack of sufficient actors.
"The Missouri Valley Debate Squad Organization has selected eight members to take part in the forthcoming forensic contests. Elizabeth Stevens, Jim Crook, Patsy Creel, Sarah Marks, Leeta Marks, Gene Moore, Orval Roberts, and Clyde Jacobs will make up the debating squads," announced E. C.

Three debates are scheduled with Missouri University. In the Missouri Valley Forensic Meeting 10 debates will be held. All of these debates will take place between March 20, and April 20, with pending appointments with the University of Nebraska and Kansas State College.
The University of Missouri squad is coming to K. U. on April 4, and 5, for a double debate program. The evening of April 4, they will debate the student body here. The subject, "Compulsory military training," will be debated on April 5 in Green hall for the Kiwanis and the Lawrence Cooperative clubs.

With the first week of the new semester nearing its end the complacent and "so what" expressions found on the majority of *student faces last Monday have been changed.

Underclassmen enrolling in the afternoon who had favorite profs and a few snap courses picked out, were dismayed upon arrival by finding that some of the classes were closed. One disgruntled sophomore remarked that "the early bird usually gets the worm but today he took the apple and left the worm for me."

Allies Amass Spectacular Gains In Big Push Across Rhine; Nimitz' Return Forecasts War's End
The change began early Monday morning when enrollment got under way with registration being dispensed for returning winter semester students, the task of enrollment should, so these students said, be simple.
The seniors, deserving some recognition for long, brave and successful effort, arrived first at Robinson gymnasium and spent the remainder of the day standing in the senior line which moved forward about once every 30 minutes. After an enjoyable few hours watching under-classmen stream in and out of the room some of the seniors reached

Advanced Allied Headquarters, Burma — The fall of the city of Manalay was expected today.
American troops in overwhelming strength surged across the Rhine today to build up a gigantic assault force already four miles inside the heart of Germany.
Washington — The possible early end of the war against Germany was accented further today by the appearance in Washington of Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, top naval commander in the Pacific, for the apparent purpose of amassing new and greater blows against Japan's shrinking empire.
Stadium Debt One-fourth Gone
E. C. Quigley, athletic director of the University of Kansas, gave a report today after a quarter of a year's work on the stadium debt drive which was begun Dec. 9, 1944
At the same time it was disclosed in a special broadcast from General Bradley's command post that a new American army—the 15th—has gone into action on the western front. The army, under the command of Lt. Gen. Leonard P. Gerow, will be a part of General Bradley's 12th army group according to N. B. C. reporter, David Anderson.
Already received from University alumni and friends is a total of $12,-525 in war bonds on hand and $12,-143 in cheques, held by the University Endowment association. This makes a grand total of $24,668, which is almost one-fourth of the $108,000 debt still standing on the stadium.
Among the gifts received are eight $1,000 bonds and twelve $500 bonds. To date, he has sent out about 7,000 "Halo" letters to alumni all over the United States.
When asked if he cared to predict when the drive would be completed, Mr. Quigley said he didn't have any idea but added, "I am ahead of my own personal schedule."
"I had hoped to retire 25 per cent of the debt with the next payment on June 1. But now, owing to the anticipated generosity of alumni and friends based on current response, I expect at least 30 per cent of the debt or around $37,000 will be retired by that time," Mr. Quigley said.

Kansan Comments
Students Must Help Wipe Out Stadium Debt
Plans for the All Student Council to conduct a campaign, whereby students may help erase the debt on the Memorial stadium, may soon get under way. Ernest C. Quigley, director of athletics, recently announced that he plans to confer with the council in regard to such a plan. "If I could get a $100 bond or a check for that amount from each of the 30 organized houses on the Hill, it would really mean something." Mr. Quigley said.
When Mr. Quigley came to the University, the debt stood at $113,000. Through organizing all but two counties in the state, receiving payments from citizens throughout Kansas, and reaching alumni of the University, he soon reduced the debt to $108,000. Alumni were requested to buy "F" bonds which could be used in payment on the principal of the debt or on the interest.
Organizing a campaign to get student contributions would be an excellent project for the student council to undertake. The only major work of the council this year has been the student evaluation of teachers and, as the ASC is through laying the groundwork for that plan, it seems that they could find no more vital problem than the one concerning our own stadium.
As the men and women of Douglas county and 25 other Kansas counties, in addition to a large number of the alumni contacted, have responded to Mr. Quigley's drive and have helped to exchange a "headache for a halo," the next step is up to us, the students of the University. We, too, must help clear our Memorial stadium, and the student council is the organization which can most effectively organize and conduct a student campaign—D.M.

Dr. Allen estimated that $1 would be a minimum contribution in the forthcoming drive for a student who wants to feel definitely a part of the war effort.
Allen Sets $4,000 Goal
The Red Cross, he reminded students, is the established medium for providing health, life, and comforts for the service man. The student who would like to put himself in the place of the American boys swimming the Rhine this week can not fail to support the organization.
Dr. Allen expressed his hope that at least $4,000 would be raised for the Red Cross during the campus drive. Faculty members have already contributed $1500 toward this total, he said.

Freshman Queen Receives Marine 'Pin-Up' Request
There is something about the picture of a pretty girl—even (or especially) "somewhere in the Pacific."
A few days ago Virginia Larsen, Chi Omega, received an official looking letter from Marine, "Pfc. Romie Robertson, in care of postmaster, San Francisco." Ginny could recall no long lost Robertsons from her childhood, and opened the letter to find an explanation by the marine that he had recently seen an October 1944, Jayhawker, and her picture as a freshman beauty queen.
Then followed the request for a "similar picture." The marine had another slant to the usual demand, however. He asked that the picture be sent to his home address in Portsmouth, Va.

Scott, Reynolds Are Honored As Co-Captains
Kirk Scott, Jayhawk guard of, Newton, and Gordon Reynolds, forward, of Tacoma, Wash., were elected honorary co-captains of the K.U. basketball team for the season just completed at a dinner in honor of the Kansas squad given by the Co-operative club last night.
Scott and Reynolds, justifying the faith in them expressed earlier in the season by Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen, at a pep rally on the campus, earned positions on two All Big Six teams. United Press placed Reynolds at forward and Scott at guard on its first team, and Associated Press chose Reynolds for the first team and Scott for the second team.
Dr. Allen made the principle speech at the dinner, praising the performance of the Jayhawkers and expressing his satisfaction in the outcome of the Big Six championship race. Allen predicted at the start of the season that Kansas would finish in fourth place.
Lawrence, Topeka Win in Regional; U. High Bows Out
The Lawrence Lions defeated the Ward Cyclones, 26-24, and the Topeka Trojans swamped the Atchison Redman last night in the qualifying round of the high school AA tournament played in the local high school gym.
The winners of last night's games will meet tonight, though both have earned the right to go to Kansas City for the Eastern regional next week. A consolation game will also be played this evening.
In the first game, the Trojans were in trouble only at the start of the game, trailing 4-0. Steady hitting by Martin and Smith pulled the game out of the fire, however, and the Topeakens won going away.
The second battle proved the thriller of the evening. After playing a close first quarter which ended 6-6, the Lions drove into a 12-9 halftime lead, and increased it during the third quarter. With the score standing at 25-18 for Lawrence and only three minutes to play, the Cyclones came to life and began hitting the basket. The Kansas City five pulled up 25-24 with less than a minute to play, but a Lion charity tossiced the game.
In the class B semifinals at Washington Rural in Bethel, University High bowed out to Edwardsville, 36-40, after outplaying their opponents in the first half. The score at half-time stood at 25-17 in favor of the University club, but a third quarter rally decided the game for Edwardsville.
Also in the semifinals, De Soto defeated Spring Hill 43-18, setting up the final to be played tonight between De Soto and Edwardsville.

Melchior To Give Vocal Concert In Hoch Tonight
Lauritz Melehior, Dapish born Metropolitan opera tenor, will appear tonight in the fourth program of the 1944-45 University Concert course with Otto Seyfert at the piano. Students may be admitted to the performance, beginning at 8:20 in Hoch auditorium, by presenting activity books .
Scandinavion songs will open the program: "Hear You" (Sverre Jordan), Norwegian; "Fly My Thoughts" (Richard Henneberg), Swedish; "Spring Song" (Fini Henriques), Danish, and "I Love Thee" (Grieg), Norwegian.
In the second part, Mr. Seyfert will play a piano solo, "Isolde's Liebstod" (Wagner-Liezit). Mr. Melehior will continue the program by singing "Liebeseier" (Felix Weingartner); "Der Wanderer an den Nond" (Franz Schubert); "Standchen" (Richard Strauss); and "Cacilie" (Richard Strauss).
After intermission he will sing "Matinata" (Leoncavallo); "Lonely Night" from the MGM picture "Trill of a Romance" in which Mr. Melechior himself appeared; "The Star" (James Rogers); and "Life and Death" (S. Coleridge-Taylor). Following this last number Mr. Seyfert will give another piano solo, "Soirée de Vienne" (Schubert-Lietz). The final part of the program will be two Arias: "Siegmund's Liebeslied" (Richard Wagner); and "Westi la Guibba" from the opera "Pagliacci" (R. Leoncavallo).
Mr. Melchior will leave immediately after the concert here tonight for Hollywood to make another motion picture.
The "heroic tenor" has been a guest star on many radio programs, made the motion picture "Thrill of a Romance," and sung in many concerts in the present season, along with a full season with the Metropolitan opera in which he has been so popularly acclaimed for his ability to sing in the difficult Wagnerian roles.
Gordon Sabine Hired To Teach Journalism
Gordon A. Sabine, recently released from service as a lieutenant in the United States army, began his duties today as an instructor in the William Allen White School of Journalism. He will teach reporting and editing courses.
Sabine was hired as an instructor in the summer of 1942 but entered military service 10 days before reporting for teaching in September of that year.
Before entering service, he had been a reported, copyreader, assistant state editor, and assistant on editorial page makeup for the Wisconsin State Journal, in Madison, Wis., and reporter for the Lynchburg, (Va.) News and Advance. He also was Madison correspondent for the Milwaukee Journal and Chicago Sun, and edited the Wisconsin Wildlife magazine.
While in the service he did magazine writing, edited a year book, "The Tags," published at Adjuntant General school, Fort Washington, Md. An article written by him while in service in Iceland where he did censorship work, appeared in the Saturday Evening Post.
Servicemen's Kansan Appears Again Today
It may be old stuff to those on the campus, but to the newshungry Jayhawkers in military service the Kansan Review just off the press for this week will be manna from heaven.
Organizations and individuals alike today were urged to get copies at the Kansan business office and mail them to their friends in service.
War Memento Group Selected
A committee to receive war memeents from University alumni serving overseas has been appointed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
"Many of our servicemen are collecting war souvenirs. Actually much of this could be called nothing more than war junk. It is the hope of the University that the establishment of a systematic method of collection, classification, and display of war mementos will give historical value to items collected by our alumni," said Edwin Browne, chairman.
Already the University has received the flag of the city of Naples, now in possession of the School of Medicine in Kansas City. The entomology department has received a collection of insects from an alumnus in the South Pacific.
Committee members include Edwin Browne, chairman, Miss Florence Black, J. O. Jones, F. E. Melvin, Fred Ellsworth, and Allen Crafton.
"Mementos of Significance' is the theme of the campaign by the committee in a preliminary meeting last week.
The plan is for servicemen not only to send souvenirs of battle but also mementos of the countries in which they have served. Servicemen sending souvenirs should include the story which makes that souvenir significant, suggested Chairman Browne.
During the year, said Dean Lawson, we find students who applied and failed to receive or who did not apply for the scholarship in high school. On the basis of their scholarship at the University, they are awarded the scholarship.
Richard R. Potter, engineering sophomore, Rudy Carl, engineering sophomore, and Dale Allen Rogers, fine arts sophomore, have been named Summerfield scholars, Dean Paul B. Lawson announced today.
Carl, Potter, Rogers Receive Summerfield Scholarship Award
It is hoped that this might be the beginning of a display which would become a "cross-section of history of civilization." Predictions are that it might be the beginning of a center of the mementos of the University contribution to human experience throughout the world. Perhaps a museum might be established similar to Dyche Museum, suggested Chairman Browne.
Two methods of informing servicemen are through publication in the Graduate Magazine and a news letter to be sent to men overseas.
Preliminary examinations for Summerfield scholarships this year are to be held March 31, in several places over the state. Nominations are already coming in from high school principals.
Engineers Gain Two More Points On Rhine River
Internattonal News Service
Spanning of the Rhine by American engineers at two additional points north of the original crossing site at Remagen was reported by the Germans today as U.S. first army forces rapidly expanded the width and depth of their bridgehead on the east bank.
With headquarters reporting that the bridgehead opposite Remagen had been expanded at least to a width of $12^{\frac{1}{2}}$ miles and a depth of $21^{\frac{1}{2}}$ miles, the Germans asserted that virtually all of Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges first army forces had moved eastward into the bridgehead. Wipe Out Nazi Bridgehead
The American ninth and Canadian first armies in the north wiped out the last of the Nazi bridgehead on the west bank of the Rhine opposite Wesel.
Furious air assaults meanwhile were carried out against the Germans on both the western and eastern fronts. American and British planes lashed heavily at undisclosed objectives while the Soviet air force out in strength, pounded ceaselessly at the area of Settin on the Baltic.
Soviet ground troops swept toward Danzig and Gydnia and moved westward through Hungary. B-29's Attack Nagova
In the Far East, irreparable damage was done to the Japanese airplane manufacturing city of Nagoya in another assault by 300 B-29 super fortresses, paralleling and following by only 24 hours the attack which wiped out a third of Tokyo.
The desperate marine corps battle of annihilation on Iwo Jima island continued without letup.
Singapore, also was attacked again while in the Philippines Gen. Douglas MacArthur's troops moved in on recently moved Mindanao.
Scholarship Committee Announces Donnelly Awards
J. H. Nelson, chairman of the scholarship committee, has announced the following Donnelly Scholarship awards for the spring semester:
No flight instruction was given Saturday to the club members but ten planes, ranging from Cub trainers to a Stinson five-place plane, were lined up on the field for their inspection. The object of the gathering was to acquaint the club members with the facilities of the field and the equipment which they will use in training.
The fifteen members which were present lined up in front of the ten airplanes, and Chancellor Malott addressed them, welcoming them into the club. The chancellor was present both as unofficial sponsor of the new club and as an aviation student, as he has been taking flying lessons.

"We have made a very successful start," Professor Simpson said. Chancellor Malott expressed the hope that "this is the beginning of what may become one of the best aviation programs in the country."
The Jayhawk Flying club was initiated at the Municipal airport Saturday afternoon with fifteen new members, and Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Prof. William M. Simpson, head of the department of aeronautical engineering, and C. H. McMillan, manager of the airport, attending.
Flying instruction started Thursday and the majority of the members have had one flying lesson, Professor Simpson said. The first ground school class will meet tomorrow.
Flying Club Initiated At Local Airport; Has Fifteen Members
One of the University's labor problems was solved and the spring cleaning season opened when "Uncle Jimmy" Green and his bronze young friend were given a bath Saturday morning by the Independents. Armed with buckets, brushes, oil, and water, some 20 University women representing the Independent organization, attacked the statuary in front of Green hall and for two hours scrubbed at the baked and hardened coats of white wash covering it.
Passers-by may have thought that the man-power shortage had reached a new crisis when they observed jeans-clad girls embracing the cold bronze of Uncle Jimmy and his stalwart protege. Little did they know! Those tender half-nelsons were necessary for the maintenance of a foothold on wet, oily metal and marble. Even bare feet didn't help much "Sunny" Jones found.
Platoon after platoon of Navy V-12's paused in their Saturday parade. They left-faced in front of statue, at eased, and gave helpful comments—whistled and otherwise.
Law students openly applauded and offered honorary LL.D's.
Henry Werner, Dean of Student Affairs, arrived on the scene as the job neared completion. He squinted through his dark glasses at the assemblage and queried, "Are you from Manhattan?" When informed that the labor shortage—not guilty K-State conscience had prompted the action, he expressed his whole-hearted approval and admired Dean Green in his gleaming new coat of oil.
"We would have cleaned the statue long ago," said C. G. Bayles, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, when he accepted the Independents' offer, "but we had neither the time nor the men to spare. The University will be impressed that a group of students had enough concern to offer their services."
If anyone is impressed, the oily, white-wash splattered girls would prefer that it be the Engineers and hope the Hobnailers will spend St. Patrick's day in bed. Also the night!
Supreme Court Will Not Review Ward Co. Case
Washington—(INS) The supreme court today denied the government's petition for review of a decision of Federal district Judge Philip Sullivan, of Chicago, holding the soldier seizure of Montgomery Ward & Co. plant in nine cities invalid.
The appelate court held that the mail order firm had not been engaged in the manufacturing of war materials and therefore did not come under the powers of the president to take over war industry in event of labor-operator disputes.
The government maintained that the labor dispute at the Montgomery Ward plants was so closely interlocked with those of war industries that failure to control that would result in a general breakdown of war manufacturing efforts.
It was forecast that the supreme court would avoid this case because it would open the way to a flock of labor cases of a ticklish nature.
Jay Janes, V-12's Aid K.U. $4000 Drive For Red Cross Fund
Booths 'will be erected in Fraser, Frank Strong hall, and the Union building, where students who have been missed by the Jay Jane Red Cross canvassing, may make their donations Thursday and Friday of this week. Mary Olive Marshall, president of Jay Janes, said today, Miss Marshall said that the Jay Janes would also canvase the unorganized women's houses to collect contributions for the $4000 K.U. quota.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen has announced that 17 V-12's who have seen overseas service will assist in the campaign. They are R. D. Johnson, Frank Haas, Milford Collins, Ken Knuth, Vern McCoy, Dorwin Lamkin, Jerome Sayler, Raymond Glasnapp, Richard Jarden, Gus Daum, John McGuckin, Walter Androes, Fred Helm, Eugene Fetesch, Dan Watson, A. N. Chalupnik, and John McShane.
Also assisting in the drive will be Bob Buechel, Lew Purinton, Bob Stewart, Gordon Reynolds, Billy Chestnut, R. J. Atkinson, Charles Moffett, Wally Rouse, Earl Stanton, Dewey Nemec, and Don Alderson. These men students will attend dinner at the various women's houses on Wednesday evening, and the Jay Janes will visit the men's houses.
R.O.T.C. Enrollment Closes Thursday
Thursday noon has been set as a deadline for enrollment in the Reserve Officers Training Corps, Col William L. McMorris announced today.
"The two-year training for which the University grants one and a third hours of credit each semester will be especially valuable to young men who expect to be called into service," said Colonel McMorris, who added that arrangements for enrollment may be made at the military science building daily.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 12, 1945
K.U. Applauds Appropriation Of Legislature
News that the state legislature has passed the educational appropriation bill pleased not only University administration officials, but also University students who realized that some of the badly needed campus improvements were at last guaranteed.
The requests for the biennial salaries, wages, maintenance, and repair accounts have been granted by the legislature. Increases in the salary budget will enable an increase in the salaries of deserving faculty members and will enable the University to hire capable men to fill vacancies. By increasing the salaries of the faculty members, the University may better compete with the schools of other states in maintaining a staff of superior ability.
Of great interest to the student body is the news that three campus buildings will be improved. Although journalism students affectionately call their department building "the Shack," they realize only too well the appropriateness of the term. Funds totalling $800,000 granted by the legislature for the improvement of the three campus buildings will undoubtedly soon remove the term "Shack" from the journalist's daily conversation.
Reading and reference rooms to be added to Watson library will remove a great deal of the confusion and turmoil that disturb those who now try to study in the crowded library. Although the Mineral Resources building is one of the University's newest structures, the addition of a fireproof shop at the south end of the building is necessary to provide adequate facilities for the work carried on there.
Returning veterans will be surprised to see such changes, and they probably will be relieved to find that war conditions have not blinded legislators and University authorities—that they are even more aware of the increasing importance of progress and improvement in the educational world. The legislature and the governor have enabled Kansas to face the future with confidence.

MISTER PELTZ IS PEEVED!
Mister P. sells charts. Pie-charts, bar-charts, fever-charts—in pink and green and purple—proving anything you want.
He has a nice new chart on the cost of living. It shows the price of practically everything curving sharply up after war began.
But one price stubbornly stays down at prewar levels. It's the price of electricity. It upsets the neat cost-of-living curves. It upsets P.P. Peltz. He's peeved.
We're sorry to offend Mister Peltz,but glad that we've been able to keep electricity plentiful and cheap when so many things are scarce and expensive.
It hasn't been easy to serve busy homes and booming war plants at the same time -with the friendly, efficient service we like to give. But all our folks have pitched in and worked hard to make it possible.

Who said "Phog" Allen was just seeking publicity when he started his basketball racket expose? Interesting little items of fact keep turning up every now and then, the latest of which is the strange status of Lawrence Pearlstein, one of the five players of the Brooklyn College team who were expelled. Mayor La Guardia in a radio broadcast yesterday disclosed that investigation showed Pearlstein was not a student in the school.
The report to Mayor La Guardia from Edgar Bromberg, commissioner of investigation, charged the faculty with "laxity, indifference, and negligence . . . that on boards the unpardonable." "Pearlstein carried books around the campus and to practice," Bromberger said, but the evidence showed that all his papers had been falsified. He even had fooled the coach, "Tubby" Raskin, who said that he had never been in doubt as to the player's academic standing.
How the High Schools Play
The Lawrence-Topeka game Saturday night, deciding the regional AA championship, was a thriller, and it seems there were fireworks afterward. Overheard yesterday in a downtown drug store, "We ran four carloads of those Toppea boys out of town last night."

Kindlesparger Has 1200 Flying Hours
Capt. John L. Kindlesparger has achieved a primary goal of all pilots by attaining more than 1000 hours of operational flying. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Kindlesparger, 1215 East Irene ave., Salina, Kansas, and has 1200 overseas hours to his credit. Now a member of the "1000-hour club," Capt. Kindlesparger is currently assigned to a ferrying squadron of the Mediterranean Air Transport Service at a busy air base in Italy.
He attended the University of Kansas before enlisting in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1939 where he received air crew training at Ontario, Canada.
Overseas since September 1943, Capt. Kindlesparrow was stationed in England and North Africa before beginning his tour of duty in Italy. He has been authorized the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon with four bronze stars for participation in the following campaigns: Sicilian, Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno and Southern France.
Capt. Kindlesparger's squadron has been engaged in supplying the Allied armies in Italy and Southern France by flying high priority flight and passengers to the fronts as they are needed.
Ernest Brown Serves With Red Cross Overseas
One of 200 Negroes now serving overseas with the Red Cross is Ernest Leroy Brown, Jr., who was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1936. Mr. Brown has arrived in New Guinea for further assignment in the Southwest Pacific as an American Red Cross assistant field director.
Before his Red Cross appointment Mr. Brown was director of the Workers Aid club and was a journalist on the Negro Labor News, both in Houston, Tex. Previously, he was with the Kansas City Call. He is a graduate of Lincoln High school, Kansas City.
The Pre-nursing club will meet at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow at Miller hall, Jeanne Moser, president, said today.

The "Talking Fence"
you're rolling along through mountainous western country. Suddenly your train stops. Ahead—a signal light has turned red. The "talking fence" has flashed its warning to the engineer.
Technically known as the "slide detector fence", it is erected parallel to Union Pacific tracks as a protection against falling rocks, trees or other possible obstructions. Any such object striking the fence breaks an electrical contact, "setting up" signals miles down the track to warn trains approaching in either direction. A trainman must then make a thorough inspection before trains can proceed.
Union Pacific uses every possible precaution to safeguard its passengers and freight . . troops and war materials . . transported over its Strategic Middle Route uniting the East with the Pacific Coast.
★★
The "talking fence" is but one of the many safety devices developed by our nation's railroads. Such improvements result from enterprise and initiative; characteristic American traits that built the Union Pacific . . . that built Your America land of equal opportunity for all.

Melchior and Seyfert Gave Many Encores In Concert Last Night
Mr. Melchior's last two numbers were the Arlas from "Die Walkure," an operatic love song by Wagner, and "Vesti la Giubba" from the opera "Pagliacci." The artistry of this final song brought a storm of applause that did not cease until the singer gave another Wagnerian Aria from the opera "Lohengrin" and the American song by Robinson, "The House I Live In."
Leonevallo's popular senadez "Mattinata," in the fourth group on the program was one of the best liked numbers, and this was followed by "Lonely Night" from the tenor's MGM picture "Thrill of a Romance." He sang next two English songs, "The Star" by James Rogers and Taylor's "Life and Death."
"Mattinata" Popular
Guest artist Lauritz Melchior, and his accompanist, Otto Seyfert, by their performances last night brought much applause and many encores from the audience of the fourth program in the University Concert course given in Hoch auditorium.
The third part of the program was a group of German songs more familiar to the audience as Schubert's "Wanderer" and two pieces by Richard Strauss, "Standenhen" and "Cacile," which brought more encores.
Sevfert Gave Solo
In the first part of the program, the Danish born son sang a group of Scandinavian songs the most familiar of which was the Norwegian number, "I Love Thee," by Grieg. This last brought an encore of another Norwegian song by Grieg, "Fatherland." Richard Strauss's "Dedication" was sung by Mr. Melchior after further applause by the audience.
Otto Seyfert gave a piano solo, "Isoide's Liestrood," the Wagner-Liszt finale to "Tristan and Isolde" from the opera that has brought Mr. Melchior so much fame. The solo was so well received that an encore of Brahm's "Waltz in A Flat" was given.

Plumbers Resign Seek Higher Wages
The men had requested a raise from 70 to 90 cents an hour through regular state civil service channels and had given the required week's notice, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said. They had expected action by Monday, but the administration told them their case would be considered at its convenience, preferring to deal with wage questions concerning a large number of employees at one time.
The plumbing foreman, Harold Eberhart, one of those who resigned, said last night that he had no statement to make as yet. It was understood that other employers had offered the men $1.25 an hour, the prevailing rate for plumbers in business.

Separation Plan May Be Basis Of Another War
That Germany will be partitioned after the war is almost a certainty, according to some authorities. They approve Churchill's plan to separate the Ruhr and Rhineland and perhaps industrial Silesia from Germany and place them under the economic and political control of the United States, Great Britain, Russia, and France.
The object would be to make sure that the sinnes of war in central Europe would be kept under control. It must not be forgotten that one of the reasons for the present war is the overdose of partitioning Europe has swallowed during the last century.
The Alsace-Lorraine trouble should be proof of enough of this. That small portion of land has been partitioned so many times, first from France and then from Germany, that it is not quite certain to whom it really does belong. If the Allies took the Rhine and Ruhr from Germany, to whom would they belong?
France would want them, that is certain. But France could not be counted on to administer them for the general good. Russia will be content with taking over countries closer to the homeland. This leaves England and the United States. Heretofore, the U.S. has declined to own parts of Europe. Yet all of the other Allied countries would not be willing for England alone to have the rich industrial section.
Taking away Germany's manufacturing sections would leave her a top-sided agricultural country, unable to support her millions.
Disarm Germany. Re-educate Germany. Change her form of government, scrutinize her new rulers, and supervise them closely. But for the sake of peace, let's not partition her.-K.G.
Jan Karski to Tell Of Polish Campaign
Jan Karski, author of "Story of a Secret State," will be in Lawrence April 16 to speak on his experience in the Polish campaign, as a Russian prisoner of war, and as a member of the Polish underground movement. The lecture is included in the Community Lecture course as a replacement for the lecture by Cecil Roberts which was cancelled last December. Activity tickets will admit students.
Mr. Karski is a first-hand witness of the events in Europe of the past few years. A week before the war began Mr. Karski was waltzing in a Warsaw drawing room, making gay plans with a lovely young girl and her friends. That same night he was mobilized and sent off to camp. From then on his life became one of intrigue and peril, beginning with his part in the 18-day Polish campaign, through his experiences as a courier for the underground and his capture by the Gestapo, and ending with his escape from the Nazis and his subsequent escape from Fortress Europe.
Five Victory Speakers Scheduled to Tour State
"The Victory Speaking teams are planning a number of engagements," announced E. C. Buehler, professor of speech. The schedule includes appearances at Iola, the Kansas City, Kan., Kiwanis club, and high school assemblies at Valley Falls, Holton, Washington, and Chanute.
Speakers who will take part are Patsy Creel, Lecta Marks, Sarah Marks, John Gunther and Richard Stutz.

Attended Chicago Meeting
He attended, in Chicago recently, a meeting of the Music War Council of America of which he is head of the music in education committee. It was there that he made a plea for the democratization of music, providing for music instruction in schools without payment of private lessons, so that it may no longer be "a luxury for the privileged few in a country where mass education is an accepted fact."
WAR CONVERSION----

Outside speakers are coming from St. Louis, Chicago, Wright Field, Washington, Baltimore, and Detroit, in addition to participants from this area.
Speakers All Well-Informed
Since this course is for an actual situation, the speakers are all directly and presently connected with contract readjustment and settlement, according to Guy V. Keeler, assistant director of the University Extension Division.
The meeting Tuesday is the first in a series of lectures to be held at weekly meetings for 10 consecutive weeks. In order to accommodate the expected 225 business men, lawyers, and accountants, who attend from the Kansas City area, each meeting will be divided into two sections to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday of each week. The Tuesday section is closed to further registration since a maximum enrollment has been reached.
The Extension Division is handling the promotional activities and the educational direction is under the supervision of the School of Business.

Rock Chalk Talk
By ANNE SCOTT
The Wandering Wolves — In the spring, a young man's fancy turns to--- well, shall we say love or baseball? In this case it may have been both because one lovely evening last week the Sigma Chi boys wandered over to the Gamma Phi house. There they became engrossed in a fast game of baseball with Ann (Babe) Moorehead, Shirley (Slugger) Otter, and Jerry (Dizzy Nelson). The girls must have great drawing power or maybe it was the thought of good food, because four of the he-men managed to invite themselves to dinner. Yes, you've guessed it—Ival Wantland was included accompanied by Owen Peck, Mike Rake, and Joe Bukaty.
Camera trouble—The Shive-Cody pinning at the Chi O house Saturday night was slightly sensational. Bert Kintzel and his ever-ready camera added to the enjoyment of the evening. Bert seemed to be eager to record the events and Jean and Ed were willing to cooperate. In fact, the Phi Gams and Chi Omegas all were cooperative. But every time Bert attempted to snap a clinch something happened to the camera, and there was nothing for Ed and Jean to do but to hold it. Other difficulties included tiny Meredith Gear's attempts to congratulate six-footer Shive with a kiss.

Perilous Journey — Gamma Phi's B. J. O'Neal and Jane Owen, decided to trip down to Pratt to visit expressent Marianne Glad The only catch in this beautiful plan was the lack of funds.

It must have been enough, because they made the trip.

Skulls, Skins Sent to Dyche
Seven skulls of mammals including coyotes, mountain lions, and becats, and the skin of one nutria "myocaster copyus" have been received by Dyche Museum from William L. Jellison, Ravalli county, Montana.
Mr. Jellison is working with the United States Public Health Service at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory. These specimens were contributed to the University because we had no such specimens previously.
The one nutria skin is of a furbearing animal native to the southern half of South America. It is believed that it escaped from a fur farm since it was captured in the wild.
It is probable, says Prof. E. R. Hall, that this animal may be another pest to the farmers such as the English sparrow and brown rat. It's size is half-way between that of a muskrat and a beaver.

Activities Described By Independents
"The Independents," a booklet describing life at K.U. which has been published by the new independent organization, is ready for distribution, according to Rosalie Erwin, president of the group.
The booklet features campus activities, with illustrations by Dora Ann Brown, and gives details of how the independent movement was started at K.U. The cover design, drawn by Lois Thompson, editor of the pamphlet, is a replica of the Spirit of '76, picturing a Jayhawk with a boy on one side and a girl on the other.
The Independent Council met last week to make further plans for organization, and it was decided that the group should have a committee of faculty advisers. The advisers, not to exceed four, will include Dean Henry Werner, and will be chosen by a committee of eight, submitted to the council for approval.
The Union Activities office will be the headquarters of the Independents, Miss Erwin announced. Meetings will be held in this office Monday evenings, and office hours will be announced at the next meeting.
The following standing committees have been announced by the Council. Publicity committee, Mary Turkington, chairman; Virginia Van Order, Mary Olive Marshall, and Dora Ann Brown; Elections committee: Jack Nichols, chairman; Ann Stevens, Pat McMahon, and Marvin Thompson.

"You would be surprised as I was, to learn that most of our patients get less than seven hours sleep, and many only four or five every day. This is a very bad habit. With so little rest, you cannot expect to have a healthy mucous membrane or an alert brain and yet be free from aches pains."
Students should Organize Time
Dean Lawson refers to the statement made recently by Dr. Sam E. Roberts of Kansas City, Mo., in a report to the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology in Chicago. Dr. Roberts' statement was:
Dean Lawson has long contended that students should reduce their schedule to the amount of hours that they are capable of carrying without staying up late at night studying. If the individual student is doing outside work, that is all the more reason why the school work should be reduced. He says also that students would make more A's and B's in courses if they would reduce their scholastic programs.
One of the main causes of so many students having to stay up late at nights preparing the next day's lessons is that many do not organize their time well.
All Work and No Sleep Makes Dull Avhawkers High Schools to Show Work at Art Exhibit Plans
Grades Would Be Improved
Take for example, Dean Lawson said, a student who is carrying 16 hours. With labs included the student probably spend about 20 hours a week in class. This would mean about 4 hours spent in class each day. Then if the student spends about five or six hours studying each day, eigh hours for sleep, and three hours for meals, he still has three hours of free time each day to do as he pleases. Most of the above allocations of time are a little large so there will probably be more than the three free hours each day. This would also leave the weekends completely free of studying.

Russia Must Be Judged on Basis Of Amazing Growth from Czarism Davis Tells Convocation Audience
To understand the Russians, America must remember that they are like us declared Jerome Davis, foreign correspondent for Canadian and American newspapers, as he spoke today at the first spring semester convocation.
"Russia deserves more understanding. We should give Russia the benefit of the doubt," he continued "and compare conditions in Russia today with those during the Czar's regime."
"Remember," he urged, "that our revolution was in 1776 When the new Russian government can trace its history that far we can more accurately com-
Dean Paul B. Lawson introduced Mr. Davis. Preceding the address, the Women's Glee Club presented two songs, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," and "Moonlight and Rose."
Since the revolution, there can be seen a gradual and continuous trend toward democracy. Among improvements have been the adoption of the secret ballot and a growing industrial policy of reward for achievement. Growing religious freedom is evident by the establishment of 250 new churches this year. Greater cooperation by the churches with the war effort has been largely responsible for the backing of the government.
"Russia far exceeds the United States in racial equality," he said, and also in governmental interest in the development of what Mr. Davis considers "the most valuable thing in any country, the character and brain power of the people." "Russia is advancing in this respect," he continued, "because she is giving scholarships which include not only tuition but food and lodging as well, and most important of all, these scholarships are given to any or all so long as specific grade standards are met."
Davis Stresses Brain Power
In an interview, Mr. Davis again stressed the importance of national development of brain power. He urged the extension of scholarship to a greater number of students. He pointed out that in Russia the extent of the individual scholarship is in proportion to the quality of work done by that student; that is, the higher the scholarship of the student, the greater the amount of fi- (continued to see two)

Must Register For Proficiency
Registration at the College office will be necessary before students will be admitted to the English proficiency examination, Prof. John B. Virtue today warned juniors and seniors who expect to take the examination required for graduation.
The examination will take place Saturday, starting at 8:30 a.m., probably will consist of two pieces of writing from a varied list of suggested subjects. The paper will be between 600 to 800 words in length and the student's name will not be recorded on it. A committee of six composed of Professor Virtue, chairman; Prof. W. D. Paden, Prof. Nellie Barnes, Prof. John Hankins, Prof. E. O. Stene and Prof. Mary Grant are subject to call as graders, and five will enter grades. Three out of five entries of passings or failures decide.

K.U. Violates State Law In Display of Soviet Flag

For many years the wearers of the Red Cross of courage have been at the sides of the sick, wounded, and prisoners of war, voluntarily alleviating human suffering.
The fundamental idea of making the Red Cross an international agency developed through a publication by Henri Dumant, who had witnessed appaling scenes of bloodshed during the war in Italy. Dumant, in his booklet which appeared in Geneva in 1862, gave a shocking account of the plight of wounded left to perish on the battlefield for lack of medical aid. He urged the necessity of a permanent volunteer somight live, "To see the leaders of the military art of different nationalities agree upon some sacred international principle, sanctioned by convention, which, once signed and
ratified, would serve as the basis for the creation of societies for the aid of the wounded in different European countries."
Dunant's appeal was quickly answered, and the Geneva Society for Public Aid nominated a commission to study the means of improving conditions for the wounded in war. The members of this commission, which was destined to become the International Committee of the Red Cross, drew up an agreement providing for formation of national committees to assist army medical services.

In a brief talk Prof. Davis stressed the necessity of strengthening the American labor movement as chief bulwark against the growth of Fascism in the United States.
He referred to work that the A. F. T. had done in furthering the cause of education. He insisted that the A. F. T. was one of the few organizations through which college professors can make contact with the elementary and high school teachers of nations, and insisted strongly on the obligation which college professors have to assist in furthering of public education throughout the nation.

How Will You Repay Soldiers For Sacrifices?
Last night you spent a nickel at the coke machine, eagerly exchanged 17 cents for a pack of cigarettes, and paid half a dollar to see a movie. Last night he dreamed of that coke machine and the place where it stands. He always dreams of the places where he used to be—where you are now—the coke machine, the library steps, the union.
Mud, frozen hands, blood—little to remind him of an early spring day on the Hill; little to remind him of a lazy stroll from Fraser to “Ad” or even trudging up 14th street. But the memories are there. So is the realization that others stand where he once stood. That others smoke a cigarette between classes on the library steps; that others, right at this moment, casually stroll down a campus walk where he once walked—where he yearns to walk now.
Appreciate his sacrifice? Sure you do. Last night you spent a nickel at the coke machine, eagerly exchanged 17 cents for a pack of cigarettes, half a dollar for the show. And tonight you will contribute to the Red Cross the price of a football ticket to help him fight and die for you. To stagger in the mud; to sweat and to bleed and to freeze.
That was your Red Cross contribution—one football ticket, good for one year, to let him know you're back of him, helping him, "sacrificing" for him. You, his classmates, safely standing in the cheering section will pay tonight the price of a football ticket for his comfort—the soldier who dreams of the library steps, a stroll down the campus, the union.

"Virtually every one of the Russian generals of today came from peasant stock," he said, "Zhukov, for instance, was taken out of school at 11 under the Czar's regime. Later he was conscripted in the first world war and then the Revolution gave him the opportunity to become one of the war's greatest generals." Thus Mr. Davis feels that America may be losing out by her failure to develop the brain potentialities of her youth, who, for lack of funds, are restricted to a limited education.

The program for the Thursday recital will be a piano solo by Emadee Gregory, senior in Fine Arts, "Concerto in E Major, Op. 59" (Moszkowski); violin solo by Helen Pierson, senior in Fine Arts, "Concerto" (Coleidrige-Taylor); and two piano ensembles by Gorgjia Weinrich, junior, and Allen Rogers, sophomore in Fine Arts, "Magic Fire Scene," (Wagner-Wier;) and "Floods of Spring" (Rachmaninoff-Babin).
In talking with the people there, he learned that when the Reds returned they found the entire population starving and suffering from starvation. He observed the German mines and dead Germans still lying about in the fields.
Guerillas Kill a Million
Russian guerillas, stated Mr. Davis have killed a million Germans behind the German lines, which is more than we have killed on the entire Western front. Even children were members of this group, stealing ammunition from German camps for delivery to guerilla headquarters. One small boy of 9 had been decorated for capturing a German major
"The Germans were very cruel in "Russia," according to Mr. Davis, but it is not fair to say that they all were responsible for the atrocities of a few. The Gestapo, and the ardent Nazis were the tryants."
Davis paid tribute to labor unions as protectors of the United States against Facism which he maintained was represented in such organizations as the Liberty League.

"More foot soldiers are being employed every day in the present war." Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the campus drive, said today. "That means more casualties than ever before, and more work for the Red Cross. They need every service you can give to keep up the splendid work they have done since the founding of th society many years ago."
1905, is supported by popular membership and voluntary contributions. In event of disaster, the nearest Red Cross chapter responds with its trained and prepared relief committees, and the national group augments the chapter's work with relief workers and finances where they are needed.
Volunteer service has reached thousands of sufferers through braille books for the blind, garments for the needy, surgical dressings for hospitals, meals, and other community services. During the present war, the Gray Ladies, Nurses' Aides, Junior Red Cross, and other branches of the Red Cross donate their time and services to the war effort.

Design Exhibition On Display at Thayer
"What is Good Design." is the title of the exhibition of functional tools which are on display now and through March 22nd at Thayer Museum.
The display was assembled and circulated by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is being shown in the south gallery on the second floor.
The purpose of this exhibition is to show that good design can be obtained in ordinary household objects. The objects are a blending of several elements as: Function, what the object does; Material, what it is made of; and Technique, how it is made.
A forth element in design, the personal expression of the designer, is also considered. The exhibition has been divided into groups in which one of these elements dominates.
The modern trend of simplified design can be seen in this exhibition as well as the frequent use of plastics.
This is the first display of this type to be shown in the Museum, and it gives a new approach to design. It shows that an inexpensive object can be just as beautiful an object of design as an expensive one.
Beamer Receives Bug Specie From Former Student
A box was received by Prof. Raymond Beamer last week containing a certain specie of stink bugs (Pentatomidae) which were sent to him by J. G. Shaw, a former student of the University.
The bugs were purchased in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, and sent to Professor Beamer for his collection and analysis.
These stink bugs are eaten raw or in caldos to aid in curing colds or pneumonia by the natives of Mexico.
J. G. Shaw is doing research work in Mexico City for the U.S. department of agriculture on the citrus fruit fly.
The firm is expected to be here today, to study our Union plan.
Firm Will Study Our Union Plan The Association of College unions has designated an architectural firm, Haire and Elder of New York, to make a research trip for the purpose of studing Union planning and architectural problems over the country.

"It's very nice to be back and see all my friends," Miss Eliabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, said recently, "and I'm enjoying this Kansas sunshine."
Friends and Sun Look Good To Miss Mequiar
Miss Meguiar had undergone a thyroid operation, Nov 6, in Lexington, Ky. She says it was very successful, and she began showing improvement immediately. While she was in Lexington, she visited with her sister, Mrs. Hugh McLellan.
"The weather there was very disagreeable, and we had a great deal of snow," said Miss Meguiar. "One consolation I had was the fact that I didn't have to go out in it."
She returned to Lawrence Feb. 8, and found it necessary to take four different routes on her journey from Shelblyville, Ky., to Lawrence.
It will be necessary for the fathers to accompany the boys of 17 years of age as parental consent and birth records are necessary.
Miss Meguiar said she appreciates all the notes and cards which she received from her friends here at th University.
The recruiting officer will be in Ottawa on March 21, and in Emporia on March 22. Additional information may be obtained by writing the U.S. Navy Recruiting station at the post-office in Topeka, a navy bulletin said.

Man or Mouse? Coed Asks Date At Digger's Ball
That's the question one coed put to her date for the recent Ohio State university Gold Diggers' Prom when she pinned a live mouse on his lapel for a corsage. This most original of corsages consisted of a cellophane box housing the mouse and a sign reading "Is you is, or is you ain't?"
Imaginative women fashioned wrist, head, and lapel corsages with everything from light bulbs and batteries to gum drops and cigarettes. There were dainty hats resembling fruit salads, fraternity pins jeweled with pieces of colored candy, large bouquets of long-stemmed flowers, and cleverly dressed dolls to adorn the dates.
Some of the men even lugged stuffed animals around with them at the prom, and others spent the evening with dog collars around their necks.
But the men were rewarded for their good-natured acceptance of all the doodads when the women footed the bills for steaks, cokes, transportation, and dance tickets. Saturday night was their night to be pampered, but the Gold Diggers' Prom is over now; the campus has returned to the conventional date and it will be "the man who pays" from now until this event next year.

The New York Giants seem to have the softest touch as far as spring training is concerned. The Ott-men are being housed at the late John Rockefeller's 46 room mansion at Lakewood, N. J., which is claimed to have 17 baths. In their two previous years at Lakewood, the Giants stayed in town, but now they are getting up in the world. Lakewood's claim to one of the highest ratings in northern training is its rapidly drying turf. It can rain all night and all morning, but within an hour after the rain stops the players can take the field with no mud to bother them, because the ground is so porous. Even with the poor spring in weather last year, they were outdoors in uniform every day except five. Other Sites.

The tank, repeatedly hit, stalled and Fortner repeated his cleaning until it finally went up in a blaze. The private has a bronze medal for his feat but War Bonds must be sold to replace the tank.
Baseball Notes
The sixteen major league clubs have at last gone into spring training, but this year's "melt down" camps are a far cry even from the abreviated sessions of 1944. First of all some of the coaches didn't have enough athletes present on the first day to hold practice, and those that were hanging around were mostly old timers and lads not even out of high school. The few real ball players left are almost all working in war plants and haven't seen fit to show up yet.

Where Goeth Basketball?
Any way you choose to look at it, it would seem that basketball is getting a bad name for itself, chiefly because of Eastern corruption of the game. Such a thing is virtually unheard of in these parts, mainly because here the game is a true sport and not just another gambler's paradise. Collegiate football has been suffering from the same thing for some time, but at least coaches are discreet enough to keep their athletes enrolled in school, and make some attempt to hide the fact that the latter are receiving disbursement for their "work." Now more than ever, it has been shown that "Phog" Allen was completely right when he suggested a czar for the sport to keep it on its former high levels. Perhaps some time soon the Easterners will come out of their lethargy and do something about it. After all, the matter is for themselves to correct now, but if such corruption of the game continues, it will begin pervading midwestern basketball, also.
Two Graduates Affiliated With New York Company
East Is to Blame
The second case of non-student participation was uncovered yesterday by unidentified persons. Jack Laub, a member of the City College of New York cage team, has played in six games this year, though he dropped out of C. C. N. Y. on February 13. Laub was attending classes in both the Merchant Marine academy and C. C. N. Y., but when courses in the former became to heavy, he stopped attending the civilian school. His coach, Nat Holman, stated that Laub said he wanted to play basketball and he thought if he mentioned attending classes he wouldn't be able to play.

Captain Wright was attached to a division of Chinese soldiers when they launched their offensive early in May in an attempt to drive the Japanese from Yunnan in order to reopen the Burma Road supply route. He is entitled to wear a bronze star on his Asiatic Campaign bion for his services in the field with this division.
Medical Graduate Returns from China
Capt. Paul R. Wright, 37, who studied for his degree of doctor of medicine at the University in 1940, has recently returned from an assignment as a Y-Force medical officer supporting a Chinese division in the Salween Campaign of Western Yunnan.
Wright, the son of medical missionaries in China, was graduated from the Shanghai American school in 1925 and from Washburn university in 1934. He entered the army in September 1942, and served in the air corps at Mitchell field, Long Island, before being ordered overseas.
Eight months after he had been sent overseas to India, Captain Wright was sent to a Y-Force Infantry Training center where he instructed Chinese medical personnel in a field medicine training program. The Y-Force was the American military mission which trained, equipped and supplied the Chinese Expeditionary force for the Salveen campaign, first sustained Chinese offensive in seven years of war against the Japanese invaders.
Florence Lydia Snow Writes Memoirs
"Pictures on My Wall: A Lifetime in Kansas," a volume of memoirs by Florence Lydia Snow, of Lawrence, appeared as a product of the University of Kansas Press today.
The book presents a picture of the development of Kansas and its culture and contains in particular accounts of the early days of Neosho Falls.
Miss Snow, a poet of considerable repute, has been active sixty years in literary circles in Kansas. She describes early days at Baker university where she was a classmate of Bishop W. A. Quayle, and her visit to Washington with her uncle, James Harlan, formerly in Lincoln's cabinet.
She likewise narrates her long friendship with Eugene Lee Hamilton, English poet and friend of the Brownings.
Inductees 18-20 Now Go to Army
Washington All inductees between 18 and 20 years of age inclusive, with a few exceptions, will be placed in the army during the next three months.
An agreement reached with the navy calls for earmarking the 18-20 class for the army "to satisfy needs for young infantry replacements."
During the three-month period the navy requirements will be filled with men 21 to 38 years old.
The exceptions to the arrangement are those inductees who qualify and are assigned to special navy programs, such as radio technicians and combat aircrewmen.
Most of the men entering the army in recent months have been channeled into the infantry replacement system, and eventually into combat divisions.
Selective service calls recently were increased to give the infantry more men, but this was done only after other branches of the service had been scoured for men who could be trained as infantrymen.
The University's first woman dean was appointed in 1878.

Colored Inks Determine Date Scale of Males
Girls in the dormitory at Radcliffe College have a system by which they keep their housemates well informed of how they feel about their dates.
When they arrive at the house, they register the time, but in a complicated form of using colored inks. If just a nice time was had, the entry is made in green ink. But going down the scale of impression, brown ink is used to designate, "thoroughly routine." "An utter flop," rates yellow, while, pink represents a date based on "a high intellectual plane."
For those fellows that show the gals a "perfectly swell" time, red is entered on the books. But the man that rates purple ink has reached the highth of popularity. For he is classified, "too, too, divine."

Churchill Predicts Early Peace As First Army Enlarges Bridgehead; Fierce Fighting on Iwo Is Ended
(International News Service)
Y.W.C.A. Will Hold Local Convention Here April 14-18
The change was made necessary because the national convention was cancelled this year because of transportation difficulties. It will begin on April 14 and continue until April 18. Two members of each commission were chosen to work on the program for the convention.
A local convention of the W. Y.
C. A. to replace the annual National
convention was arranged yesterday
afternoon at a Y. W. C. A. meeting.
Amid Nazi reports that the U. S. first army has crossed at the wide Cologne Frankfort Autobahn east of the Rhine, Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's first army ripped across the Moselle river today and opened a bridgehead covering 27 square miles of German soil.
The meeting also included a vote given in favor of "coffees" to be given each Thursday during April at the homes of faculty members to discuss recent peace conferences such as the Yalta agreement, Dumbarton Oakes, and Chipultepec, the Mexican conference.
Hope Miller to Give Organ Recital Sunday
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's spokesman announced that the third army had crossed the Moselle southwest of Coblenz, opening the beachhead nine miles wide and three miles deep, while other units of that veteran force opened a heavy assault southeast of Trier.
An organ recital by Hope Crittenden Miller will be given from 4 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 18, at the Trinity Episcopal church.
S
Mrs. Miller, a senior in the School of Fine Arts, will play the following: "Fugue in G Minor" (J. S Bach); Chorale-Prelude, "Hark a Voice Salth All are Mortal" (J. S Bach); "Pastorale" Second Symphony (C. W. Widor); "Ave Maria" (Schubert-Nevin); "Allegro-First Sonata" (Gluptant).
Sabine Dispells Illusions of Iceland
☆ ☆ ☆
Iceland—the cold barren island of the north giving house to the Eskimo and the igloo, is the impression most of us have of this almost mythical nation. However, Lieut. Gordon Sabine, now instructor in the journalism department, can vouch for the fact that there are no Eskimos in Iceland, nor are there any igloos.
He returned last October after 18 months of press censorship work in the "Land of the Midnight Sun." Mr. Sabine in civilian life was a newspaper man with a knack for turning up "exclusives." In fact, he "happened" to be in the office of the Icelandic newspaper "Visir" when the second extra in the newspaper history of that country was born. D-Day was the occasion for the extra, it scoring a 65-minute beat.
How cold does it get in Iceland? That's a military secret says Mr. Sabine. Germany and practically all other nations can forecast their weather from the forecast in Iceland.
Another important "first" for Iceland is the fact that the first American outpost established in this war was in Iceland. Iceland was the only country to refuse Hitler the right to establish a land base in 1939. "If we weren't there now," said Professor Sabine, "the United States couldn't get supplies through to Russia and England. In fact the Allies might have lost both England and Russia had Hitler taken Iceland in 1939." Over Iceland, the Americans shot the first German plane in this war.
Being press censor did not impress Mr. Sabine as being too difficult a task until he found that all the papers were written in Icelandic. Consequently, his first task was learning the Icelandic language.
The wind reaches gusts of 125 miles an hour strong enough to knock any man flat. It's also strong enough to blow any army house over. That's why, explained Mr. Sabine, the army houses, which are called "nissen huts," are built half underground. Their construction is metal. No trees are seen in Iceland and there is very little vegetation.
Mr. Sabine was the only American soldier present when Icelandic Congress decided to break off all relations with the Scandinavian countries. The King of Denmark had personal rule over the country, although in name only. But, says Mr. Sabine, Iceland is independent and an isolationist country. "She wants to be alone."
$ \textcircled{2} $Churchill Is Optimistic
Meanwhile Prime Minister Churchill delivered a prediction far exceeding in optimism his other utterances. Should the war in Europe end before the summer ends, or even sooner, "We shall have reached a considerable milestone in our journey." In the European war, he stressed it "might well" come to its conclusion before the summer months are over.
At the same time a Stockholm newspaper of good repute denied reports that the Nazi Reich has made another compromise peace approach to the Allied, and has met with unequivical rebuff.
Debating the proposition, "Resolved, that one year of full-time military training should be required of all able-bodied American boys before they have attained their twenty-fourth birthday," K. U. will meet the University of Nebraska here at 8 p.m., Wednesday, in Green hall, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, announced today.
Soviet Troops Move Toward Baltic On the Eastern front the Soviet troops plunged toward the Baltic in two areas and steady advances were made west of the Oder between captured Kuestrin and Frankfurt.
Formal American occupation of Iwo Jima island in the Pacific was concluded, although fighting continued in one rapidly diminishing Japanese pocket of resistance.
Dr. O. Myking Mehus To Interview Veterans

Kansan Comments
Union Groups Need Support Of Students
In response to our demand for more organizations on the campus, the Student Union activities last fall formed a clubs committee which was to organize the clubs in which we were interested. After a vote had been taken to determine the most popular organizations, bridge, music appreciation, and book review groups were formed.
The Music Appreciation club, which meets weekly in the Music room of the Union building, has its own officers and plans its own program of classical and semi-classical records. The Bridge and Book Review clubs, also meeting weekly in the Union, are under chairmen appointed by the clubs committee. Plans for a table tennis group were made shortly after the other clubs had been established, but lack of proper equipment made its organization impossible.
A Winter Sports club was discussed and, although the clubs committee did not organize it, they finally decided to support it. Such activities as a ski trip to Colorado and a skating party on Potter lake were carried out by the winter sports fans.
Response to all the clubs was extremely good at first and many students attended each meeting. Soon, however, the same persons who had complained so bitterly that the University needed more activities, began to drop by the wayside. Finally, there were so few attending the Bridge club that meetings had to be discontinued temporarily until some new method could be devised to renew student interest. This dropping off of attendance was also apparent in the Music Appreciation club.
Only one review was given for students who expressed an interest in book reviews, because so few persons were present that another one was not attempted.
All the clubs which were suggested on the ballots are worthwhile and deserving of student support. By attending and taking part in the meetings, we could become better acquainted with each other and at the same time develop leadership qualities. The widening breach between independent students and Greeks, which became more apparent recently with the establishment of a separate independent political group, could be remedied. We asked for the clubs and the Student Union activities gave them to us. It is our responsibility to support them.
University of California Holds Shellback Shuffle
"Shellback Shuffle" was the first dance which observed the curture laws at the University of California. An across-the-equator theme with full initiation into Neptune's undersea court was carried out. The committee boasted that he "Princess of the Court" would really reign—and not just flash by!
Allen Urges Faculty To Contribute
Goals are important to Coach F. C. (Phog) Allen when it comes to basketball, but when it comes to Red Cross drives he has an entirely different attitude.
"The fact that the donations from the faculty are below the estimated goal doesn't bother me so much for the Hill has always done its full share, but I am anxious that every faculty member who wants to give be permitted to make his contribution, even if we are asked to send for it," Chairman Allen said.
The drive on the campus was thrown off balance by the fact that the drive in Lawrence was started during vacation, and faculty members were not certain where their contributions would be taken.
Dr. Allen said that he would continue to accept donations for the Red Cross until next June, if forgetfulness persisted that long.
Davis Will Speak To Civil Engineers
W. W. Davis, professor of history,
will speak to the student chapter of
the American Society of Civil Engineers at a meeting at 7:15 p.m. today in the Pine room of the Union building.
Professor Davis announced that he would speak on the geographical peculiarities, the people, and the industrial and commercial aspect of Japan. ___
Routine of Daily Newspaper To Be Pictured in Movie
A sound motion picture, which shows the organization and routine in the modern daily newspaper, will be shown in room 102 of the Journalism building, at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon and at 9:50 and 10:30 Wednesday morning.
The picture was filmed for the Minneapolis Star-Journal and the running time is 21 minutes.
Museum Sponsors Field Trip
The Museum of Natural history sponsored an expedition to Cherokee county, Kans., between semesters. Dr. A. B. Leonard, Dr. D. F. Hoffmeister, and H. W. Setzer went on this field trip.
The primary object of this trip was to study and collect the kinds of vertebrates which occur in the Ozark mountains in the southeastern corner of this state.
A collection of 42 mammals, five birds, and one reptile, together with much ecological information, was brought back to the museum where it is to be studied.

By LA VERNE KEEVEN
That's Gratitude—Returning home with shoes in hand from Uncle Jimmy's Saturday bath with a " Thank-goodness-thats-over-with " attitude, Maxine (Sunny) Jones was forced to run the gantlet of V-12 cheers, whistles, etc., down the main street of Oread.
Just as she heaved a sigh of relief at the end of the line, a "little boy blue" politely said, "Hum, barefoot girl—with cheek!"

Temperance my goal — "Anything you say will be—," and there was Lonnie Kelley, Y.W. Prexy, who had to convince her audience the other night for five minutes that the Kansas dry laws should be repealed. Need we say more? (and they didn't twist her arm!)
It makes no difference now—Lois Harder, Corbin new girl, was getting more uncomfortable by the minute

at initiation night before last as she saw girl after girl called on to dissertate, debate, or go through a song and dance routine.
Prayer, fully in order, she clasped her hands and muttered, "I can't do it! No matter what they ask me to do, I can't do it!"

"Spring is sprung—the grass is riz.

The little island of Saipan today has communications facilities greater than those of Hartford, Connecticut.
Without this vast array of telephone, teletype and radio apparatus—much of it made by Western Electric- Saipan could not play its key part as an army, navy and air base in the great drive our fighting forces are making toward Tokyo.
When you realize that Saipan is only one small island and that many more bases must be taken and similarly developed—you get some idea of the job still ahead.
Today the manpower and manufacturing facilities of Western Electric are devoted to meeting our fighters' increased needs. That's why there is not enough telephone equipment for all civilian requirements.

Eight Teams to Compete Tonight In Class AA Semi-Final Tourney
The semi-finals of the class AA Kansas state high school basketball tournament will open tonight in Hutchinson and Kansas City, with eight teams competing at each place
In the Hutchinson meet, Newton will meet McPherson, Salina will tangle with Arkansas City, Wellington will be paired against Junction City, and Hutchinson will be host to El Dorado. Salina and Wellington are the favored teams in this meet, although Hutchinson and Newton are sure to give plenty of trouble. Play Begins at 7
In the Eastern division played on the Wyandotte court the Lawrence-Chanute battle at 7 o'clock will begin the evening, with the Columbus-Shawnee Mission game following at 8. The last two games of the evening at 9 and 10 o'clock are the coffeyville-Topeka and the Wyandotte-Pittsburg clashes. Chanute, Coffeyville, Topeka, and Wyandotte are ranking favorites in this division, although both the Blue Comets and the Trojans were defeated in the finals of the regionals last week. Topeka lost a thriller to the Lawrence Lions, while Chanute was edged by Coffeyville.
The tightest game of the Wyandotte tournament will probably be the Wyandotte-Pittsburg. The Bulldogs may enter the game as slight favorites, although they have lost to Parsons, a cage team which Pittsburg trounced in the regionals last week.
Lawrence Not a Favorite
The Topeka-Coffeyville clash is also rated as a close one, although the Trojans are picked to come out on top. The southeast Kansas five, however, defeated the Chanute cagers last week in their regional, indicating that they were not to be taken lightly. In the other two games, Chanute should have an easy time with Lawrence, while Columbus is rated above Shawnee-Mission, defending title-holder.
New Course Given In Statistics By Business School
For the first time a course in statistics is being given under the educational direction of the School of Business as a ergular extension course.
Dr. Bruce T. Robb, chief statistician for the Federal Reserve bank at Kansas City and formerly a member of the departmental staffs of the Universities of Missouri and Nebraska, is teaching the class in which 35 are enrolled.

Beta's Take First Place in Basketball
A final tabulation of points won in the recent intramural basketball tournament made yesterday show that the Beta's, winner of the playoffs and of second place in the B league, walked off with first place honors with 66.8 points.
Other organizations and their point totals are: Kappa Alpha Psi, 38; Kappa Sigma, 38; Phi Kappa Psi, 34.2; Sigma Chi, 32; Phi Gamma Delta, 34.2; Delta Tau TDelta, 30.4; Draft Dodgers, 26.6; Dicks Demons, 26.6; Tau Kappa Epsilon, 22.8; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 22.8.
The Residence Halls and the Phi Delt's, finished in a tie for second place with 55.6 points apiece, while Sigma Nu garnered 53. These points won will be counted toward the sweepstakes trophy presented at the end of each school year.
Braddy and Ashton Wrote Articles For Folklore Quarterly
The intramural football tournament played last fall was also won by the Beta's, giving them an easy first place in total points thus far.
Two articles by members of the faculty of the English department appear in the January issue of the California Folklore Quarterly.
Haldeen Braddy has written an article entitled, "Chaucer's Wandering Herbert and Cabenza deVaca's Report of Bad Thing," in which he points out that a character introduced in Chaucer's "Pardoner's Tale" is similar to a character who turns up in early folklore of America.
John W. Ashton's article, "Folk Rhymes and Circular Jingles," concerns a type of popular song which goes on endlessly, with the end of the song serving as a "re-beginning" of the same song.

Notes on the National Intercollegiate opening night in K.C.
By Loren King
So that the lads from Eastern Washington would have something to do while in Kansas City, their English professor, Dr. G. M. Dressler, traveled with them and conducted daily classes for the Savages. It must have worked too well; the Savages lost their game with Doane College, Crete, Neb., 54-51 in the tournament's first upset.
High score in the meet so far was piled up by Pepperdine, Los Angeles, in defeating Peru State Teachers, Peru, Neb., 77-42. The all-time high in the tourney is 83, set by Indiana State, Terre Haute, Ind., in 1942. Pepperdine's tall center, Nick Buzolich, 6 feet 7 inches, was responsible for 28 counters, high for the evening.
One of the Kansas teams in the tourney, Wichita University, lost its game with East Texas State, Canyon, Texas, 54-43. The Wichita
Lt. Lloyd Svoboda Wounded While Serving in Germany

'Phog to Coach Five More Years
Our own "Phog" Allen, in his announcement that he will serve five years longer as a basketball coach, has insured himself a niche in athletic history, according to a correspondent quoted in C. E. McBride's sports column in the Kansas City Star. Other conference coaches, the writer suggests, should be willing to concede to 'Phog' three championships in those five years, leaving only two to fight for.

McIntire Promoted To First Lieutenant
James E. McIntire, 22, of Clay Center, bombardier on a B-17 Flying Fortress, has been promoted from second lieutenant to first lieutenant. Lt. McIntire is a veteran of more than 30 Eighth Air Force bombing attacks on German industrial targets and military strongpoints in the path of Allied armies on the Western front.
Allen for Change In Free Throw Rule
Before entering the AAF in February, 1943, he was a student in the University. He is a member of the 34th Bomb, Group, a unit of the Third Air Division.
She was graduated from the University in 1940 and has been in the navy for two years.
Another rule change has been proposed by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, proponent of the 12-foot goal, this time calling for revision of the present free throw procedure. Dr. Allen said yesterday that intentional fouling would be eliminated by the giving the free-throwing team the ball out of bounds at mid-court whether or not the free throw is made. This practice would eliminate the time-consuming lining up around the free-throw alley and would make it impossible for 7-foot giants to fight for missed free throws.
The present war-time play, which he considers an interlude between normal serious periods in the history of athletics, would make the ideal time for trying out rule changes such as Dr. Allen's latest, the Jayhawk coach insists.
Statting that the game is getting a bad name from its rough and rioting nature, Allen pointed to the out of bounds after free throws as a welcome lull in the game which he described as being pell-mell.

Lt. Comdr. Buhl Transferred East; Headed V-12's
A. H. Buhl, commanding officer of the navy unit of the University, has received his orders and will leave tomorrow for training duty on the east coast. Lt. A. B: Coppling will assume command of the three V-12 units.
On their way to the coast, Lt. amdr. Buhl and his family will pend a short leave at their home in Detroit.
"Living in Lawrence has been pleasant," said Lt. Comdr, Buhl this morning. "We want to thank everyone. From the Chancellor's office on town and including the townpeople, for helping to make the navy programs here successful."
Speaking of Lt. Copping who will relieve him, Lt. Condr. Buhl said, "It has been my pleasure to be shipmates with Lt. Copping for the past four months. He relieves me with my best wishes for the Navy V-12 unit for the duration."
Lt. Comdr. Buhl came to Lawrence at the commissioning of the first navy unit here and has been in command since July, 1942.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary in the Chancellor's office said this morning, "The entire University will miss Lt. Comdr. Buhl. For 32 months he has been commanding officer of the Naval Training programs of the University and much of the credit for the high ratings given by the navy to the University for the programs is due to the high standards, the fine sense of discipline, and the willnigness of Lt. Comdr. Buhl to cooperate fully and completely with the University faculty. The University wishes him the best of luck in his new assign-

BILL TO BAN BOOK IS INTRODUCED
Topeka, Kansas, (INS) — A Boston accent crept into the Kansas legislature today when the house committee on education sponsored a bill to ban from the accredited list of high schools a book which the legislature charges tells "all the tricks of graft."
The book, "Government in Action," was written by Joseph D. McGoldrick, New York city controller, and Prof. Robert E. Keohane of the University of Chicago and his wife Mary, a former Grand Rapids, Mich., teacher.
Meanwhile the legislature voted a 2-million-dollar fund for a new state office building, and allotted $40,000 less money for the welfare program than in former years. Welfare agencies said they did not need as much money now, but thought that more might be needed later.

Alas, the work of the twenty oily, whitewash - splattered Independent women who gave Uncle Jimmy Green a bath last Saturday has been runied. Today Uncle Jimmy stood bedecked in a gay coat of St. Patrick's green, with a contrasting vest of red.
Gay Green Suit Follows Bath For Uncle Jimmy
St. Patrick's day frolicers jumped the gun on the lawyers and gave Uncle Jimmy his traditional coat of paint one day early. The paint job is a work of art, having been skillfully applied. Lawyers are beginning to wonder if fine art students or the engineers are their traditional enemy.
It was with broad smiles on their faces that the engineers passed Green hall this morning. Could it be that the Hobnailers decided to comply with the Independent women's hopes that all engineers would stay in bed St. Patrick's day and so did their painting a day early?
Executive members of the Student State-Wide Activities commission were assigned seven counties each for the purpose of a more thorough organization of activities at a special meeting held yesterday, according to Fred Ellsworth, faculty advisory member.
Seven members of the executive committee will arrange meetings with the county chairman and reporters from each county to promote student activities which include letters to high school seniors and distribution of University of Kansas display boards throughout the state.
County Reporters To Send Out Letters
What ever the answer or whoever the culprits, this fact is evident Uncle Jimmy needs another bath.
The executive committee is composed of Frances Morrill, general chairman, Marjorie Free, Jerry Simpson, Mignon Morton, Sue Diggs, Bill McGregor, and Pat Graham.
St. Patrick's Day Traditional For Engineers' Celebration
"Whereas in the ranks of the engineering department there are many of noble birth and Irish blood, and whereas the ancestors of many of our illustrious students came from Erin's Isle, and whereas St. Patrick was an engineer, therefore, be it resolved that the engineering department take a holiday and attend the morning prayer meeting in a body."
With this resolution, which despite its Irish note, was composed by a student named Leo Brandenberger, originated the traditional celebration by engineers of St. Patrick's day. March 17. The resolution was adopted by some of Missouri university's engineering students, and on the first day of celebration in 1903, a number of engineers attended "prayer service" on St. Pat's day, and afterward assembled in the library to pledge allegiance to their patron saint. Following this assembly, the students paraded around the town, singing Irish songs.
In 1904, a motion was made to cut classes, but a professor of mechanical engineering compelled all seniors to attend classes on March 17. As a recompense, the seniors celebrated
In 1905, the St. Patrick's day celebration began to take the form which it has since maintained at the University of Missouri. In those celebrations, St. Patrick makes a personal appearance, and all seniors bow before him in a public ceremony. St. Patrick knights each senior tapping him with his staff, and each one in turn kisses the Blarney Stone. The Senior banquet of 1904 was replaced by a St. Patrick's Day ball.
St. Patrick's day with a banquet in the evening.
The St. Pat's ball became a fixed feature at schools observing the feast. An important part of the ceremony at the ball is the ceremonial entrance of St. Patrick, garbed in a green robe. After the maids of honor enter one by one, the Queen of the ball is ushered in and crowned by St. Patrick. Heralds introduce the maidens of the queen and the queen herself, with a trumpet fanfare, this part of the ceremony being copied after the Veiled Prophet ball. The Queen is usually attended by two small girls who act as train bearers, and sometimes two other little girls scatter flowers in her path.

Grad Sends Lizards From South Pacific
Dr. Claude Hibbard, curator of the museum of Modern Vertebrates, received five specimens of preserved lizards from the South Pacific sent to him by Morton Green, who was graduated in '39, and received his master's degree in '42.
These specimens were added to the scientific collection at Dyche museum.
Dr. Hibbard also received a box of fragmentary fossils from the vicinity of Rifle, Colo., from Dr. Tell Ertl, an assistant professor of mining engineering last year.
Duke and Wally Leave Bahamas
London — The Duke of Windsor, former British king, has relinquished his Bahama governorship, a post into which he stepped almost five years ago.
This announcement from the colonial office, was made without any explanation or comment, and once again brings the former king and his duchess, the American-born Wallis Simpson Warfield, back into the news.
Speculations as to where the duke and duchess will go are varied. Some papers say that they may settle in Canada, as the duke is owner of a ranch in Alberta, but most agree they will go to Paris.
The diplomatic correspondent of the Express said Windsor's resignation was prompted by his wish not to begin a second term of office in the Bahamas and by the reported poor health of the duchess. Served Nearly Five Years
A government statement in Nassau said the news was not surprised and the duke himself at a press conference pointed out that he had served almost the 5-year maximum tenure of his office.
W, L. Murphy, 58-year old colonial secretary to Bermuda will succeed the duke, said the colonial office. He has served as acting governor on several occasions. Bahamas Prospered Under Duke
The duke's administration over the Bahamas was highly praised for increasing prosperity and aiding the workers by authoritative sources, although they were surprised that he quit so near the end of his term.
The Windsors will probably stay in the United States until plans for their removal to France are completed. They have a palatial home in Paris, which they leased in prewar years, and it is understood that they will retire from public and live there.

Coblenz Capture By Third Army Promised Soon
(BULLETIN)
International News Service
With the U. S. First Army Across The Rhine, (INS) — The Cologne-Frankfurt autobahn was cut in two places in the northeast section of the Remagen bridgehead today by American first army troops who penetrated four other towns aside the six-lane highway, one of the prime objectives of the Rhine crossing.
An all-out attack by veteran troops of the United States third army which promises early American capture of Coblenz, great German fortress city at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle river, was reported in battle front dispatches today.
The headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower confirmed that troops of the third army's fourth division had struck out across the Moselle in two additional places and charged forward 12 miles.
A security news blackout shielded most details of the new progress. Attack Coordinated
The first army continued to exploit its bridgehead across the Rhine at Renagen, gaining two additional miles on the western front. Breslan Expected to Fall
The University is again conducting its annual contest among high school journalists to help in promoting and encouraging the work being done in journalism in the high schools of Kansas. The judges, members of the faculty of the department of journalism, have set April 5 as the closing date.
The attack was in coordination with an attack by troops of the American seven army commanded by Lt. Geo. Gunderson M. Patch and Jacob L. Devers' sixth army group.
High School Papers Submitted in Contest
Premier Marshall Joseph Stalin's drive proceeded. Russian troops drove to the Baltic sea, bisecting German forces attempting vainly to defend Stettin, Danzig, and Gdynia. Other Russian units slammed out against fading Nazi opposition in Koenigsberg and Breslau. The latter city, capital of Silesia, is certain to fall within a short time.
The principal Pacific battlefronts —Iwo Jima and Luzon in the Philippines were marked by final mopping-up operations against Japanese remnants.
The contest is open to any high school in Kansas which publishes a printed, lithographed, or mimeographed newspaper or which conducts a page or department of school news in the downtown paper of its city. Only one entry may be submitted by any one paper but each paper may enter all divisions.
The divisions are news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to school, business management, and miscellaneous.
Three newspapers will be designated as winners in each division and the names of the winning papers and schools will be sent to all Kansas schools.

Kansan Comments
Myths Rejected By Authorities On St. Patrick
With tomorrow's traditional wearin' of the green in honor of St. Patrick, shamrocks and legends of the driving out of snakes and toads by the well-loved saint will come to mind. However, no mention of such miracles is made in the books of authority.
Reliable records of the life of St. Patrick are scarce and it is not easy to form a clear conception of his personality. It is generally agreed that Dumbarton, Scotland, was the birthplace, in the year 387, of this man whose Roman father held an office in the church in Gaul or Britain. It is believed that St. Patrick, when 16 years old, was captured by a Druidical high priest. After tending flocks of sheep in Ireland for his cruel master for six years, he fled to Britain to become a priest.
Several years later he was given the name of Patrick (meaning father of his people) by Pope St. Celestine I, who sent him, in the year 433, from Rome back to Ireland to establish the faith among the Irish pagans. It is said that on this mission St. Patrick plucked a shamrock from the sword to explain, by the shamrock's triple leaf and single stem, the doctrine of the Trinity.
Actually St. Patrick's importance in the history of Ireland and the Irish church is that he brought Ireland into touch with western Europe and more particularly with Rome. It was also this saint who introduced Latin into Ireland as the language of the church.
His principal work was organizing Christian societies already in existence upon his arrival and planting the faith in the regions under the sway of Druidism. For this we honor St. Patrick, who was never canonized at Rome but who, since his death on March 17, 1552 years ago, has become a saint merely by popular usage.
Poetry Manuscripts Will Be Due by May 1
Manuscripts to be considered in the Carruth Poetry Prize contest must be submitted before noon, May 1, at the Chancellor's office, according to Prof. John E. Hankins of the English department.
Three prizes of $50, $25, and $15 for first second, and third places will be awarded. In addition, a volume of poetry will be presented to each contestant awarded honorable mention. Announcement of the winners will be made sometime in June, and the winners' names will appear on the commencement program.
The contest, held each year, is in memory of William Herbert Carruth, a onetime member of the German department and author of many poems, the best known of which is his "Evolution."
Departmental judges will be John E. Hankins, Miss Helen R. Hoopes, Miss Rose Morgan, and Haldeen Braddy. Outside judges have not yet been selected.
The contest is open to all students of the University, and the poems may be of any length or classification. No student may submit more than one poem, and no poem previously published will be admitted to the competition. Three typewritten copies signed by an assumed name are to be submitted, accompanied by a sealed envelope containing the real name and address of the author. On the outside of the envelope should be written the assumed name of the contestant and the exact title of the poet.

In that same year, 1845, the Mexican War was imminent. Railway Express service was 6 years old. The colleges were few. Now, a century later, America is fighting a global war, the colleges are counted by thousands, and our service is nation-wide.

Today, the colleges are training students for the armed services; and the rail and air facilities of Railway Express are being largely utilized for the speeding of war-good shipments. So, to help all concerned, please do three simple things with your 1945 home packages and baggage: Pack them securely—address clearly and adequately—avoid abbreviating state names.

'Hub' Meyer, President Kansas Press Association, Will Speak On American Press Here March 28
H. A. "Hub" Meyer, president of the Kansas Press association and publisher of the Independence Daily Reporter, Independence, Kans., will speak to members of the journalism department and will be the guest of the Press club at a dinner Wednesday, March 28.
He will arrive Wednesday morning and address the Elements of Advertising class at 11:30 a.m. and the History and Art of Printing class at 3:30 p.m. Mr. Meyer's subjects will be the wartime problems of publishing and post-war developments which will affect the press. Any students interested in journalism may attend either lecture, There will be a question period at the close of each address. At the dinner Wednesday evening he will speak on the recent activities of the Kansas Press association and the future of the American press.
Born in Ohio
Mr. Meyer was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, but he lived most of his earlier life in Washington, D.C. He was graduated from the Staunton Military academy and from George Washington university. For six years he served as assistant to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, where, according to Mr. Meyer, the newspaper bug first bit him when he handled the press relations of the department.
After serving as a captain in the air corps during the first World War, he entered the oil business where he looked particularly after publicity, press, and public relations matters. In 1940 he and his son, Herbert A. Meyer, Jr., who was graduated from the journalism department here in 1936, purchased the independent Daily Reporter. Most of Mr. Meyer's work has been with publicity and public relations work, which interested him in the newspaper publishing field.
Third Year As President
The Kansas Press association is an organization whose membership includes nearly all the papers in the state—approximately 400. Mr. Meyer's visit will be the third consecutive year that the president of the association has spoken to the journalism department. Last year, Pete McKechnie, of the Kiowa County Signal at Greensburg, was a guest, and in 1943 C. W. Wheeler, business manager of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle spoke. Each year the presidency alternates between the publisher of a daily and a weekly paper.
Proficiency Exam Taken By 150 Juniors and Seniors
Results of the required English proficiency examination, taken Saturday by 150 juniors and seniors, will be announced within the next five weeks, John B. Virtue, associate professor of English, said today.

Carelessness Provides Job For Mendoza
Pablo Mendoza is his name.
Pablo Mendoza is his name.
He is the short-statured Mexican whom one sees jabbing at bits of paper and other discarded material about the campus.
Some have referred to him as one-jab Tony because they say that if he does not succeed on the first jab there is no repeat.
When Mendoza came to the campus a few years ago, his income was from the sale of the paper that he collected and sold to the junk dealers. Now he is on civil service pay and his income has increased probably 600 per cent—he gets $92 a month.
This situation had led administration officials to realize that the carelessness of students is causing them real expense. And students are really careless, they say. On one occasion Mendoza was off duty a month with a broken arm. During that time the campus gained the appearance of abandoned picnic grounds.
Charge Dropped Against K.U. Coed After Arrest for Falsifying Credit

Iceland Base Censor Tells Experiences At Press Club Today
The only explanation given by the state prosecutor at 2:30 p.m. today was that he released Miss Wallace "in view of the fact that she is young and that this was her first offence. Furthermore, the two complaining witnesses, Peck's and Harzfeld's didn't care to prosecute."
Censorship and newspapers in Iceland will be the topic of an off-the-record discussion by Gordon Sabine, new instructor in journalism, at the first Press club meeting of the Spring semester. The meeting will be at 4:30 today in room 107 of the Journalism building.
Kansas City. Mo—(INS)—Mar. 19
Mr. Sabine, who has just been discharged after two and a half years in the armed service, was an Iceland base censor for 18 months. He will give a short talk, and then club members will hold a round table discussion. Members of Press Club and anyone interested in journalism are invited to attend the meeting.

Charges of obtaining merchandise
under false pretenses were dropped
today against 19-year-old Elva Geraldine Wallace of Wichita, Kans., pretty, blonde, University of Kansas coed accused of charging $100.17 of merchandise to the accounts of two Kansas City women. Miss Wallace charged $272.29 worth of merchandise to another account last December.
The charges were dropped at the request of the management of the department stores at which the bills were charged.
In a talk with Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, yesterday afternoon Mrs. J. W. Wallace, 1244 North Topeka, Wichita, said that her daughter would withdraw from school. Miss Wallace accompanied her mother to Lawrence and returned to Kansas City with her.
"It is my belief that the girl was sincerely sorry for what she had done," Miss Meguiar said this morning.

Nazis Withdraw North of Saar
(International News Service)
A German withdrawal north of the Saar river eastward toward the Rhine was officially reported by supreme headquarters today. Armored units of the United States Third army under Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, drove four miles through the Saar, forcing a major Nazi withdrawal from the area of St. Wendel. The Third army's threat to vital Siegfried positions mounted by the hour. Clean up Coblenz
A spokesman for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower announced final complete cleanup of all German opposition of the Rhine river city of Coblenz.
Meanwhile German troops on the Seventh army front to the south have virtually completed their withdrawal into the Siegfried line and have begun violent counter attacks in the Sarr-Brucken area. New Blow at Jap Islands
United States naval headquarters at Guam finally confirmed a new and powerful aircraft carrier b l o w against the Japanese islands of Honshu and Kyushu. Aided by land-based superfortresses, some 1700 carrier planes, presumably from Adm. Mark Andrew Mitscher's giganic task force 58, ripped and tore at vital enemy installations on these two islands.
Charm Editor to Speak To Women Here Tuesday
Miss Dorothy Huston, mid-west editor of Charm magazine from Chicago, will address university women at 3:30 Tuesday afternoon in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Miss Huston is being brought to the University through the efforts of the Independent Student association.
No admission will be charged and all university women are invited to hear the talk which will stress poise and make-up.
Discussing the role of the United States in world affairs during the next 100 years. Hawthorne Daniel, navy war correspondent, author, and authority on the Pacific, will speak on "Uncle Sam Returns to the Seven Seas," in Fraser theater at 8:20 p.m., Wednesday, under the auspices of the Community Lecture course.
In his lecture Mr. Daniel analyzes the colorful, romantic interplay of economic, industrial development, sources of basic raw materials, rate of population increase, competition of other nations, racial initiative and industry, religious and moral integrity as factors in the rise and fall of world power. He will discuss the significance of the tremendous shift of sea power which has occurred during the present generation, as well as the development of air power.
Forecast American Leadership
Long before the Germans offered their theory of Germany as the "Heartland" of a world to be dominated by them, Mr. Daniel was pointing out that North America—not Germany—was bound, to become the most influential portion of the world. In July, 1939, two months before Germany invaded Poland, he told an audience, not only that the war in Europe was coming, but also that France would fall, that Scandinavia would be invaded, and that the United States would be forced to fight Japan.
The uncanny accuracy of these forecasts resulted from Mr. Daniel's long study of world developments from the beginnings of the "industrial revolution" and the American revolution. It is this study, on which Mr. Daniel has spent much of his time for twenty-five years,

Kansan Comments
Report Throws Unfair Blame On University
This weekend the University's name was smeared unjustifyably on the front page of the Kansas City Star in connection with a theft reported to have been committed by a K.U. student. Not only did the Star place the University in a bad light, but the newspaper report also emphasized the theory that the psychology training, which the student received at the University, played a large part in her undesirable attitude toward the offense.
Such an event serves as an unpleasant but striking example of the responsibility of every individual in upholding the reputation of the organization of which he is a member whether it be a class, a school, or any other group. A good reputation is hard to establish and even more difficult to maintain. Years of working, planning, and struggling to overcome obstacles stand at the basis of every institution. But in the stroke of a minute, the weakening of a link can break a strong chain representative of years of labor.
It is unfortunate that the actions of one individual often reflects upon the group of which he is a member. Racial differences, dissension among various sections of the country, and even wars often are the results of snap judgments—of judging an entire group by the improper behavior of an individual member. One of the chief evils of society is the tendency to allow surface impressions to influence the opinion of an important issue. It is surprising that one of the powerful organs that form public opinion would interpret an event in such a way as to encourage snap judgments.
If it is unfair that the University suffers because one of its students misbehaved, it will be reminded that the public is alert. Though outawaken surprisingly fast upon being rudely jolted by an event other than the ordinary commendable events which they usually ignore.

Theory Attracts Wide Attention
His theory that the oceans connect the world and do not, as is so often contended, divide it, is attracting wide attention, both here and abroad.
Turned from Military to Journalism
Born in Nebraska, Hawthorne Daniel was forced to resign from the United States Naval academy because of an injury received in athletics, with the result that he turned to journalism. After studying at Columbia and New York universities, he became a reporter on the Omaha Bee and went from there to the editorial staff of the World's Work Magazine. For seven years he was curator of printing and publishing at the American Museum of Natural History, and secretary of the museum's scientific staff.
Widely travelled from the Arctic to the Tropics, Mr. Daniel served as an officer in the U.S. Navy and U.S. tank corps on duty in European waters, in England and France, during the First World War. He now devotes his time exclusively to writing and lecturing.

Among the more important errors in the Star's story was the one identifying Miss Wallace as a psychology major.
Not in Phycology Department
"Miss Wallace has had nothing to do with the department of psychology," Dr. R. H. Wheeler, chairman of the department, said this morning. "She is not one of our majors nor has she taken any courses in our department."
The Star had said:
"The advantages of a neat appearance,pleasant manner and cheerful outlook in getting along in the world had been discussed in her studies in psychology at the University, Miss Wallace recalled."
To give students in his 9:30 general Psychology course the right idea, Dr. Wheeler assigned them the last chapter in the text this morning—the chapter on "Personality." Pledge to Security Pedicu
Pledge to Sorority Broken
Miss Wallace was pledged to a sorority last fall, but the pledge was broken by the sorority before Christmas. "Relations between her and the other girls in the sorority were incompatible," Miss Meguiar said.
Miss Wallace has been living at 1247 Tenness, which is a rooming house not a sorority house as the Star reported. The V-12 student dance to which the Star referred was the engineer's Hob-Nail Hop. Gown Was for Hob-nail Dance.
A black gown which Miss Wallace charged at Peek's was the one she planned to wear to the dance. At the same time she purchased a blue dress for Easter. The two totaled $68.05 and were charged to the account of Anna J. Hodge, of Kansas City. Before buying the dresses, she had charged $32.12 worth of charms for a charm bracelet, against the account of Mildred Lieb, Independence. In December Miss Walace bought $272-.93 worth of clothes from Harzel'd, charging them against another woman's account, the story related.

It seems they sold it to the Kappa pledge class last fall for $100 so they could buy it back this spring for $25. The Sigs have painted said car white now, which THEY think is an improvement. Chick Kouns, honorable member of the fraternity says, "The only trouble with the car is that you can't trust it."

Serenades beneath your window, free horseback rides, or a trip to the movies with the dean brought high prizes in a recent War Bond auction at Mary Washington college, in Fredricksburg, Va. Best of all, however, was the "shark's eye," which absolutely guaranteed a handsome husband—according to a South Pacific legend.

Esterle Is Queen Chosen by Engineers At Nobnail Hop
Elizabeth Esterle, College freshman, Kansas City, Mo., was crowned queen of the engineering students' Hobnail Hop, Saturday inght, at the dance in the Military Science building. Miss Esterle, a pledge of Delta Gamma sorority, was elected by popular vote of men students attending the dance, and was crowned by Lynn Leigh, engineering senior, who was dressed in the traditional garb of St. Patrick.
The coronation took place at eleven o'clock, when Miss Esterle and the four maids of honor, candidates for the title of queen, entered the ballroom and passed down an aisle to the band platform. V-12 students formed a guard of honor with an arch of slide rules under which the five candidates passed. Following the crowning, St. Patrick and Miss Esterle led the dance in honor of the patron saint of the engineers.
Miss Mabel A. Elliott, associate professor of sociology, reviews the book, "People, Church, and State in Modern Russia," by Paul B. Anderson in the February issue of the American Sociological Review.
A typical St. Patrick's day motif was the green lighting affects in the Military Science ballroom. Caricatures of the professors of the School of Engineering and Architecture decorated the west wall of the room, and huge figures of dancing sailors and jitterbugging coeds, drawn by Bill Riehle, PT-6, adorned other walls.

Grid Practice To Begin With Many Gone
Spring football practice which was scheduled to start this afternoon probably will consist of no more than checking out uniforms, head coach Henry Shenk announced this morning.
"Rainy weather will keep the players off the field today, but we may get a little practice in tomorrow if it clears off," Coach Shenk commented. Prospects for next fall's grid eleven is somewhat of a question mark, since most of last season's squad members will be off the Hill then, being transferred by the Navy or drafted into the armed forces.
Weather permitting, the men will drill on fundamentals for a few weeks, and play a few intra-squad practice games. About forty men reported for the first practice last spring. Marquette university and the University of Wichita are new schools on the Jayhawk football schedule next fall.
Schaake Appointed Assistant Grid Coach
Elmer Schake has been appointed assistant football coach for the 1945 season, E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, announced today. Schake, who lettered in football and basketball at KU, from 1929 to 1932, came to the University athletic department from five seasons coaching at Lawrence Memorial High School. He was captain of the 1932 Jayhawker football squad and chosen All Big Six quarterback. In 1932 he played pro football for the Portsmouth, Ohio, Spartans, under George "Fotsy" Clark, former KU. coach.

The ElDorado Surprise
The Kansas high school AA bas ketball tournament has taken a strange turn in the last week, and no one knows quite how it happened. El Dorado, an Ark Valley five which finished behind Wellington, Hutchinson, Wichita North, Newton, Wichita East, and others in the Valley this year, will play in the finals of the tournament next weekend at Emporia, but none of the other teams are left in the race. This fighting cage five, starting its season dismally and not improving much by mid-season, has gained momentum the past few games, and has been setting a terrific pace in tournament play. The El Dorado cages edged out Salina Saturday evening, conquerors of Newton on the preceding night, to win the western bracket and gain a seeded berth in the coming finals.
Columbus Wins Semifinal
Meeting these two Western fives will be Topeka and Columbus. The latter cagers slipped past the Trojans last Saturday night in a real thriller, to become Eastern champions for 1945. Columbus was an unknown quantity this season, meeting few teams with which a comparison could be made. The Trojans lost the regional to Lawrence a week ago, but came back to defeat Coffeville and Wyandotte on successive nights. Turner Comes Through
By Earl Barney
Anthony and Turner in class A, and Halstead in class B seem to be having things pretty much their own way in turning back each and every opponent. The Anthony five won the Western semi-finals Saturday night by routing Hoisington 56-37, while Halstead had a field day at Attica's expense, 51-21. The strong Turner five defeated Seaman of Topeka and Highland Park of Topeka on successive nights by wide margins, indicating it will be a strong contender at Emporia.
A. A.U. Tourney Begins
The National A.A.U. basketball tournament got under way in Denver Sunday night with seven cage fives getting into the second round. The favored fives will not take the court until tonight or tomorrow night. As usual, the Phillips 66 cagers of Bartlesville, Okla., are ceded No. 1 in the tourney, but the 20th Century Fox team from Hollywood is sure to give the '44 champions no little trouble. The strong Kansas City Pratt-Whitty basketeers did not take the court last night, being one of the seven favored teams to draw a first round bye.

Football coach Henry Shenk eyed the damp atmosphere this morning and complained "I knew that just as soon as we started spring football practice it would begin raining. We only had about three or four days of decent weather last spring," he concluded.
Spring Practice Blues
It is expected that Gene Phelps and Dick Howard, civilian students will be back for summer workouts and will be available for the squad next fall.

Dorado from the Ark Valley League; Columbus from Southeast section, and Topeka from the Eastern section.
"Therefore, spring and summer practice is a must for all candidates in order that they may learn their fundamentals and plays," Michalske says.
All Navy or civilian men interested in football have been invited to the meeting. Michalske explained that spring sessions are more important than ever at the present time.
Spring football practice will begin tomorrow at Iowa State college, Mike Michalske announced Saturday. The squad met Thursday evening for a brief pre-practice meeting.
Two preserved bats were sent from Luzon to Dr. E.R. Hall, director of the Dyche Museum of Natural History, by Capt. C. Mohr, zoologist.
Spring Football A 'Must' at Iowa
"Under the accelerated program at Iowa State college, little time is left for practice sessions in the fall. All practice sessions will be brief and there will no fall pre-season practice as in normal times.
Dr. Hall explained that these bats were sent because of a doctor's thesis, "Mammals in the Philippines," written by Prof. Edward H. Taylor. Prof. Taylor was formerly a professor in the zoology department and before that was chief of the Philippine bureau of fisheries for many years. He is now on leave from the University and is in the armed service.

Dr. Allen Is District Governor of Rotary
The internationally known basketball coach became a member of the Lawrence Rotary club in 1919 shortly after joining the University staff. Last year he served the club as president.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen has been elected governor of the 123rd district of Rotary International, according to information contained in a telegram from Howard Quigley of Olathe, who is completing a term as head of the district.
The vote was conducted by mail among 1,200 Rotarians in the district. This is a new procedure in electing a district governor. It is customary for the office to be filled by election at a district conference but a federal clamp on conventions caused cancellation of a meeting scheduled to be held here next month.

A feature of the vespers will be the premiere performance of a newly composed song by Carl A. Preyer, of the School of Fine Arts. It will be sung by Miss Moore, associate professor of voice, with an accompaniment of violin, cello, organ and piano. The number, written within the past few months, in the opinion of several musicians who have heard it, is said to be one of the finest compositions Professor Preyer has yet done.
University Quartet to Play
In keeping with Palm Sunday will be three religious numbers by the Women's Glee Club, and the opening number, a selection by Handel with Laurel Anderson at the Organ. The Symphony orchestra will play "Andante Cantabile" from the 5th Symphony by Tschaikowsky.

Closing the program will be the "Gallia" by Gounod, sung by the University A Capella Choir of 90 voices, with organ accompaniment and Miss Moore singing the incidental soprano solo
Frank Thomas Heads Valley Falls Schools

He received notice of forty such vacancies this Monday, and as soon as the annual spring school meetings take place there are sure to be many more. He hopes that by consolidation or other arrangements that there will be enough teachers to keep the schools' going.

Nazis Report Wide Bombing Of Germany by 8th Air Force
London, (INS) — For the 36th consecutive day, "American Eighth airforce bombers and fighters swept over Germany today amid enemy reports that wide areas of the Reich were under an attack by a 100-mile-long sky train.
Group Medic Bill Awaits Approval
A bill which permits the organization of nonprofit insurance companies to prepay medical bills of any citizen who wants to join is expected to be passed by the Kansas senate today. It was approved by the committee of the whole yesterday, and after being passed by the senate today, it will await only the governor's signature to become a law.
The bill was introduced in an effort to help medical men, and those osteopaths wishing to use it, head off socialized medicine. It provides for a non-profit insurance project, under the supervision of the insurance commissioner, which will be organized solely to protect the small salary worker from financial stress caused by unexpected medical bills. Since those completely unable to pay for medical attention are taken care of by social welfare plans, it is the "middle class" of workers whom this bill is intended to aid.

Newell to Manage School of Medicine
Charles B. Newell, Baxter Springs,
resigned Friday as director of the Kansas civil service department, which he helped to build, to become business manager for the School of Medicine, including Bell Memorial hospital at Kansas City.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that Mr. Newell would return to his alma mater in the new job at the same time that Fred V. Allvine, acting chairman of the civil service board announced the resignation, effective March 31. Mr. Newell was graduated from the School of Business in October, 1934.
Pfe. Richard W. Carlgren, an A. S. T. P. trainee in the freshman class of the School of Medicine, was honorably discharged from the army on March 15, by Lt. Col. W. L. Mc-Morris.
Eye Defect Means Honorable Discharge
Mr. Newell was appointed civil service director by Gov. Payne Ratter in 1941, the year the system was established under a constitutional mandate. He tangled repeatedly with politicians opposed to the merit system but won praise for his work in a legislative council investigation last year. He was formerly unemployment compensation director in the state labor department and was in the purchasing department of the old Kansas emergency relief corporation.
The discharge was the result of a physical profile recently given all members of the army, Colonel Mc-Morris said.
Mr. Carlgren failed to meet the requirements for a commission in the Medical Corps upon completion of his medical training due to defective eye-sight.
Yanks Drive Toward Ruhr Valley; Third Army Captures 20,000 Nazis In Record Seizure West of Rhine

I. S. A. Plans Series Of Spring Dances And Elects Officers
Pat Graham, College sophomore was elected vice-president of the Independent Student Association, and Shirley Wellborn was elected secretary at the first meeting of the newly elected council, Jack Nichols, president, announced this morning.
The I. S. A. also discussed plans for several dances this semester, the first one of which is scheduled for April 14. They will also sponsor a sweetheart dance about the middle of May and plan to have a "tacky" dance and a weiner roast sometime in June, Nichols stated.
The council made no definite decision concerning the V-12 representatives last night but will probably decide who the V-12 representatives will be at their next meeting, Nichols concluded.
Albert Kvasnicka Awarded D.F.C. For Action in Italy
The headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower did not confirm the German claim, but a spokesman told of a fresh 11-mile advance by the third army under Lt. Gen. George S. Patton which led to a prediction that all German forces still west of the Rhine faced annihilation.
Staff Sergeant Albert F. Kvasnicka, Wakeeney, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism while serving as tall-guner on a B-17 Flying Fortress operating from a 15th A.A.F. base in Italy, according to a field dispatch from the 15th A.A.F. in Italy.
Sgt. Kvasnicka entered the University and enrolled in the School of Engineering in 1939. He entered the armed forces in December, 1940, and served overseas 22 months in the Asiatic-Pacific theater of operations before going to Italy.
Sgt. Kvasnicka was awarded the decoration on a mission deep into German-held territory. The plane in which he was flying was struck by anti-aircraft shells which wounded two gunners, damaged two engines, tore huge holes in the wings and fuselage, and completely destroyed the electrical and oxygen systems.
Sgt. Kvasnicka went to the aid of the stricken crewmen and, when one became unconscious from lack of oxygen, he gave the unconscious man his own oxygen supply. He gave first aid to both men, and flight surgeons credit him with saving their lives by his speedy and competent action.
The third army plunged to within nine miles of Mainz, an anchor point of Adolph Hitler's deepest Seigfried line defenses. As the third and seventh armies moved rapidly toward a junction it was announced that between 15,000 and 20,000 German troops were captured by Patton's army. This broke all records for previous enemy seizures.
A veteran of 35 combat missions, Sgt. Kvasnicka has also been awarded the air medal with three oak leaf clusters.
Soviet troops closed in on the last German center along the Baltic and Oder rivers.
Tokyo reported that Adm. Mark A. Mitscher's gigantic carrier-based plane attack on the home islands of Japan was continuing into its third day.
Further publication of the Kansan Review became problematic today when sales continued too low to guarantee expense of printing.
Details were awaited meanwhile from Gen. Douglas MacArthur of the progress being made on his latest amphibious invasion of the Philippines. This was the mass assault on Panay islands in the center of the Archipelago. The Japanese were taken by surprise and latest reports indicated a rapid American drive toward Ililo, Panay's leading city,
Sales Must Increase If Review Continues
"Those in service cannot blame women students solely for this negligence," said one of those in charge of the weekly. "Not one fraternity on the campus has taken on group responsibility in sending the paper to friends in uniform."
"Unless organizations respond promptly and the copies are called for regularly, there is no other course than to stop publication." said Miss Joel Fant, chairman of the circulation committee.
The Review has been exceedingly popular with the service men who have been fortunate enough to have friends on the campus to send it to them.
The Y.M.C.A. has been most diligent in circulating the Kansas Review, obtaining weekly between 306 and 400 copies. Faculty members likewise have been sending out the Review.
A meeting of the Kansan board will be held this week to determine the future of the weekly paper.
Senate Committee Hedges On Army Promotion Policy

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 20, 1945
Kansan Comments
Kansan Kansans Proud Of Scoffing By Countrymen
Attention was drawn in a recent issue of a news magazine to a survey made in 50 of New York City's business offices, in which the questioner asked members of the front-office personnel if they could tell him where Kansas is located. To some of the easterners, Kansas is a person, others felt sure that Kansas is a shortened name for Kansas City. Many had never heard of this strange word; a few guessed that it might be in the south while others seriously stated that "it is out near Pennsylvania."
Undoubtedly there are missing links in the education of the interviewees. However, Kansans should blush with shame to realize that they are responsible for not "putting their state on the map," at least in the minds of their fellow countrymen. The situation is not much improved by the knowledge on the west coast that Kansas does exist, but, as the cinema has so kindly informed the world, is a bick state populated by uneducated, simple people who roam dusty streets in cowboy boots. Surprisingly, Kansans clap with glee when a green county cousin in the latest movie announces that he hails from Kansas.
Perhaps we should be thankful that our state is unknown to part of the country, for those who are aware of its existence have been allowed to think of it as a backward barren region. It has already been demonstrated that too many citizens of this state are satisfied with the latter impression for they seem unwilling to do anything to alter it—to them, it is un-Kansan-like to publicize or to prove our worth.
Why the people of the Jayhawk state cherish the ridicule thrown at them evidently is peculiar to this state alone. It would seem that this is the relic corner of America where progress is unknown. We appear to be striving to retain all those good old-fashioned pioneer characteristics that distinguish us from the rest of the advancing world. Crumbling sidewalks and miserable streets are considered quaint in Lawrence instead of dangerous to public safety, symbolic of stagnation, and a hindrance to modern developments.
Arthur Glenn Receives Rank of Technical Sergeant
Arthur D. Glenn, 20, has been promoted to the grade of technical sergeant, according to an announcement recently made at the 15th Air Force heavy bomber base in Italy.
Sgt. Glenn attended the University of Kansas before he entered the service May 28, 1943. He is a gunner on a B-24 Liberator bomber and is a member of a veteran group commanded by Col. Thomas W. Steed. The group has own more than 200 combat missions against strategic targets in southern Europe and the Balkans.
Sgt. Glenn's home is at 909 Johnstown avenue, Salina, Kansas.
K. U. Medics Receive Commissions
Thirty-six Kansas university medical school graduates who attended Medical Field Service school at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., were graduated recently, according to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
All received commissions as lieutenants in the army medical corps.
The campus unit of the Red Cross is sponsoring a 20-hour first aid course at the University of Chicago.
University Offers New Extension Class
The post-war conservation course to be offered under the guidance of the School of Business and extension division will begin today in Kansas City in the Hotel Phillips.
The course, War Contract Readjustment and Settlement, will consist of a series of lectures to be held at weekly meetings for 10 consecutive weeks. It is offered as an aid in planning and in procedures used in rapid conversion from one war production job to another and in post war conversion to production of civilian goods.
Speakers from Chicago, St. Louis, Wright Field, Washington, Baltimore and Detroit, in addition to participants from this area, will discuss and interpret government regulations and legislations.
In order to accommodate the expected 225 business men, lawyers, and accountants attending from the Kansas City area, each meeting will be divided in to two sections to be held Tuesday and Wednesday of each week.
West Visits Campus For Consultation With Veterans
Paul W. West, new regional field training officer of the veteran's bureau of Kansas City, Mo., will be in the office of Prof. Leonard H. Axe until Thursday to consult with University veterans.
Mr. West was appointed to his new position Feb. 28, and this is his first visit to the University as regional field training officer. He has charge of all veterans attending any educational institution in 56 counties of western Missouri and 10 counties in eastern Kansas.
Before his appointment in the veterans bureau. Mr. West was in the army. He enlisted as a private and in the three years he was in the army he worked up to a captain's rank, before receiving his honorable discharge.
Former Student Hit By German Bomb
Cpl. Bill Feeney, managing editor of the Daily Kansan in 1942, was wounded in the leg recently when a German bomb dropped within 30 feet of him.
In a letter to L. N. Flint, professor of journalism, Corporal Feeney told of being a part of the Roen river offensive and stated that it was "a tremendous and terrible thing to see." He wrote that he was wounded when he failed to take cover "because our artillery was making such a noise that I couldn't hear the German planes come in.
"The medics have been wonderful. We are very well treated, and have the best of everything," the letter said. Corporal Feeney said that he didn't think that there would be any permanent effects from his leg injury.
Prof. John G. Blocker, of the School of Business, was the principal speaker at the monthly dinner meeting of the Kansas City chapter of the National Association of Cost Accounting at 6:30 last night in the Hotel President. His subject was, "Standard Costs in the Postwar Period."

By far the most entertaining act at the recent Corbin pajama party was the Nancy Young version of Lauren Bacall, the Hemingway heat wave.

Covering the recent visit of the Jack Benny radio troupe for their newspaper, the St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press, was "quite a thrill" for Misses Jean and Jane Jones, 1944 graduates in journalism. Jean attended a luncheon for Jane Wyman, movie actress.
The twins have been doing reporting, feature writing, and editing on the News-Press since last July.

Hell week at the Alpha Chi Omega house was quite the hot affair this year. Jo Ellen Hall spent her meal times dogging the footsteps of the houseboy until the poor lad became so nervous and distraught that he considered submitting his resignation. Jo Ellen, incidentally, ran up her mileage and increased her appetite several hundred times. Mary Lee Asher, a victim of active ire, was ordered to pop the question to the man repairing the pipe line—namely, "Why don't you have seven children?"
It happened long ago when coeds were still serenading the PTs. The moon was bright, the songs were sweet, and a Beta pledge leaning too far out the window to see it all came tumbling down to the cold, hard ground.
Freezing Wind Forces Students To Don Overcoats
All thoughts of picnics, swimming, boating, hiking, and other such activities connected with drowsy spring weather were quickly forgotten this morning by students as they rolled out of bed with the temperature outside just a little above freezing.
Although an all-day rain finally stopped last night, the wind changed to the north and caused those with 8:30 classes to drag out their overcoats from the mothballs, where they had put them last weekend, and

trudge off to class thinking how nice spring had been while it lasted.

Capt. Fred Eberhardt Killed on Iwo Jima
Capt. Fred Eberhardt, one of the University's outstanding students, is among the dead on Iwo Jima. This information and the story of his battle career were told by his brother, Lt. Charles Eberhardt, 22, in a letter to his father in Salina.
Captain Eberhardt, 23, was an honor student, a Phi Beta Kappa, and president of Beta Theta Pi fraternity while at K.U. Although he was called into the marine corps a month before graduation in 1841, he was given his degree. The brothers, Charles and Fred, joined the marine corps together and trained and fought side by side for nearly four years. They were on Iwo Jima with the Fourth marines.
"I cannot tell you the date and place of his death," Lieutenant Eberhardt wrote, "but I can tell you that I was there and that he was killed in action leading his men in the way which has made him a near-legend in our regiment. He died instantly, from an artillery shell fragment.
"He was concerned with all mankind's suffering and ignorance and greed and malice, and he hoped some day to be a part of the educational or administrative system which would work toward eliminating those illies. Fred's greatness so far was shown only on battlefields, and the loss of that greatness is a loss which extends far beyond our family."
In a postscript, Lieutenant Eberhardt told his father he had been wounded in action, was in the Mariana islands, and was recovering. The Eberhardts have a third son. Ensign Chris Eberhardt. 24. Now back in this country after assignments in the South Pacific.

GROUP MEDIC---years prep experience at center weighing 230 pounds. Roster Holds 14 Civilians
The insurance will be written chiefly in group form and an individual paying monthly on a policy would have all normal medical bills paid. Under the new bill, a husband and wife would be able to buy a policy which would protect them against many surgical and medical bills. The policy holder has a choice of physicians or surgeons, but if the doctor selected is not a member of the association he would be paid only 75 per cent of the fee which would go to a member. The remainder of the fee would be paid by the insured member. The corporation is to be organized and financed by medical men exclusively
Medical men are to contribute at least $5,000 as a surplus for the organization. The same plan that was followed in the organization of the Blue Cross, which pays hospital bills and is used by the University, is being followed in this project, and the same group of medical men who helped promote the Blue Cross is promoting the new organization.

Looking over the records of the abbreviated 1945 football squad, we see that one-third of the men have had experience at guard or are reporting at guard. Coach Shenk's spring gridders are short on tackles, only three showing up so far, but the greatest shortage is in the backfield. Of the first group to turn out, only three are backs. Of course more will show up, some of the 10 to 15 expected to check out suits today will probably be backfield men, and Shenk said this morning that Charley Moffett, stellar back from last season, will check out Monday.
1945 Team May Tip the Scales
Coach Shenk's list of new players promise us at least two men with plenty of what the Jayhawkers needed last season, heft. Charles Betsher, one of the greenhorns entering this season with no previous experience, lists as his qualification 250 pounds. Also in the heavyweight class is Earl Stanton with three
Fourteen of the present roster are civilians, most of these being 17-year-olds. Kansas is the home state of most of the civilians, although there are quite a few from Kansas City, Mo.
Simplots Defeat Nebraska
in the second round of the A. A. U. tourney in Denver a high scoring mark was equalled last night when the Simplots from Burley, Idaho, ran up a score of 98-35 over Mitchell, Neb. The scoring was passed around to all members of the winning team, the high mark being only 21 points, pitched in by Frank Fulmer, forward.
Another high score the same night was chalked up by Allen-Bradley, Milwaukee, over the Denver Toner-Mapelli entri, 81-35. Phillips 66, Bartelsville, the tournament favorite, eased through its tilt with Greeley, Colo., Lions, 60-37.
Robert L. Treece Killed in Action Parents Notified
Pfc. Robert L. Treece, 21-year-old son of Prof. and Mrs. E. Lee Treece, was killed in action in Belgium on January 7, the parents were informed by a telegram from the War department Wednesday night. He had been reported missing in action since January 7.
Bob Treece was born in Lawrence January 6, 1924. He was graduated
from Lawrence Memorial High school in February, 1943, and he enlisted in the army the following month. He went overseas last June and was in England until last September. He was serving with Co. L, 112th Infantry regiment of the 28th Division when he was killed.
He is survived by his parents and a brother, Lt. Richard F. Treece of the navy, who now is serving on a destroyer escort in the Pacific. His father, E. L. Treece, is associate professor of bacteriology.

Religious Theme Will Be Subject For Essay Contest
A first prize of $100 and two other prizes of $75 and $50 will be awarded in the annual Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Essay contest for the best essays written by students of the University on the application of the teachings of Jesus to some problem of the present day.
Each contestant must, not later than April 16, hand in at the Chancellor's office a sealed envelope containing the real name of the contestant and a tentative outline of the discussion. Three copies of the essay itself must be handed in at the Chancellor's office by May 14.
Prof, Lulu Gardner this morning expressed the hope that students would not hesitate to enter simply because they were not "students of the Bible."
Students desiring further information on the contest have been advised to confer with Professor Gardner, 303 Fraser.
According to Professor Gardner, the donor gafe the money so that "the student will, in a measure, be compelled to study for himself Jesus' life and teachings. This, in itself, will be a good result, in addition to broadening the field of the student's thought."

Nazi Troops Reported in Chaos As Yanks Gain on Western Front; Carrier Planes Cripple Jap Fleet
(International News Service)
With a rapidity reminiscent of the French army's collapse in 1940, the once-mighty German war machine fell apart in bits and pieces on the Western front today.
American third army forces smashed within five miles of the industrial Rhineland city of Ludwigshafen while farther west the third army units entered Homburg and enveloped Neunkirchen. At least half of the estimated enemy forces in the Saar-
Mosele-Rhine area were accounted for by Lt. Gen. George S. Pa. a's raging troops.
Path $s$ seventh army drove the enemy eastward and the right flank of the French army crossed the Lautter and captured Berg.
Along the Remagen bridgehead,
Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodge's 78th
division captured Duel.
Rhine Bridgehead Extended
The bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine is now 25 miles in length and eight miles deep.
With Allied bombers again attacking German targets in force, Russia's threat to Berlin mounted with new Soviet gains along the Baltic and Oder river.
Report Jap Ships Sunk
Although complete reports were not available, first-hand dispatches confirmed Admiral Nimitz' announcement of a crippling blow to the Japanese fleet by carrier-based American planes at undisclosed anchorage in the inland sea. From 28 to 30 Jap ships of all categories were sunk or damaged and some 600 enemy war planes destroyed in the gigantic assault.
University Receives Magazine Donation
Today is the first calendar day of spring. Evidently the weather man was aware of the date and ordered an ideal spring day.
The University has received notification from C. M. Goethe, Sacramento, Calif., that 100 subscriptions to the Junior Natural History magazine have been entered in the name of the University. The University is allowed to determine to whom these subscriptions will go.
Last year at this time the temperature was struggling to climb up into the 40's and a cold wind was blowing over the campus. So far this year the month of March has had relatively few high winds, but 10 days are left and anything can happen in the way of cyclones.
In a letter to the University, Mr Goethe recommends that the subscriptions be sent to one elementary school in each of 100 Kansas counties.
In accepting the gift, Chancellor Malott said, "Knowledge of local natural history acquired in youth brings resourcefulness in uses of natural resources later on."
As evidence of the University belief in this, Chancellor Malott cited the requirement of a course in biology for freshmen and sophomores beginning with the next semester.
Weather Cooperates With Calendar Date
Easter Causes Exam Change
The date for preliminary examinations for the Summerfield scholarships has been changed from Saturday, March 31 to Saturday, April 7 owing to Easter vacations in some of the Kansas high schools.
Coincident with this announcement comes the information that examinations will be held in the following seven towns in the state: Concordia, Dodge City, Hoxie, Lawrence, Parsons, Salina, and Wichita.
Examinations will begin at 9:30 in the morning and last throughout the day. One-hundred and 56 nominees from 75 high schools will take the examinations.
Faculties Pick Candidates
Nominees for Summerfield scholarships are chosen by their high school faculties. The examinations are administered largely by high school principals, but sometimes by their faculties.
Nominees may take the examinations at the place of choosing depending upon which town may be the closest.
Allotments to scholars are such as to guarantee their necessary expenses. By the ability of each candidate and of his family to share his expenses, the amount of the allotment is determined.
The Summerfield scholarships are maintained by a fund provided by a graduate of the University, Mr. Solon E. Summerfield of New York City. Approximately 10 are awarded annually to the best graduates from Kansas high schools.
Photo Exhibit Reveals Secret War Devices
(continued to page three)
K. U. students and faculty members will have the opportunity to study one of the most secret developments of the war in a photographic exhibit to be displayed in the lounge of the Memorial Union beginning March 17, according to Broderick Johnson, instructor of journalism.
The exhibit, "The Camera Reveals the Enemy's Secrets," consists of 15 large posters which show the spectacular operation of the United States navy photographic interpretation unit and explains some of the methods used in photographic reconnaissance. The display is being sponsored on the campus by the department of journalism and the Union Activities committee, under the direction of Mr. Johnson and Alberta Cornwell, College sophomore.
The vectograph, a picture which reveals details in three dimensions when seen through a polaroid viewer, is a feature of the exhibit.
It has been impossible until now to tell how the navy photographic interpretation unit operates, and even in this display only a few of its phases can be shown. The broad and intricate scope of the work, how-

New Composition For Voice Offered
For a first performance a new composition by Professor Carl A. Preyer, for many years a leading figure in Kansas music circles, and the School of Fine Arts music faculty, will be presented at the Palm Sunday all-musical Vespers program, 4:00 p.m. Sunday in Hoch auditorium.
The title of the new composition is "The Lord Is My Shepherd." Meriabah Moore, soprano, Fine Arts voice faculty, will sing the number, with an accompaniment of an instrumental ensemble background of organ, piano, violin, and cello, to be played by Ruth Orcutt, Allie Merle Conger, Waldemar Geltch, and Raymond Stuhl, respectively, was arranged especially for the program by Professor Prever.
"The Lord's Prayer," one of Mr. Preyer's religious songs is now used by many prominent artists.
Election System To Be Investigated By A.S.C. With Probable Change; Faculty Loss From Low Wages
A special committee for investigation of the present campus election system and the possibility of making a change in the system was appointed by Persis Snook, president of the All Student council, on the recommendation of Joan Burch, at the regular meeting of the council in the Pine room of the Student Union building last night.
Lindley to Serve As Dormitory
Lindley hall will be available for living quarters to 200 engineers, chemists, and other employees who will begin arriving April 3 for a 5-week training course at the Sunflower Ordnance plant.
The University is offering Lindley to all those who cannot find housing facilities elsewhere in Lawrence, as an accomodation and contribution to the war effort, according to Raymond Nichols, executive secretary. The entire building will not be needed and classes will continue there as scheduled, although the moving of certain departments from other buildings to Lindley will be postponed temporarily.
Miss Burch will head the investigation committee. Marjorie Free and Donald Cousins are other council members who will

Students Should Buy Career Clothes
Naturalness is the most important point in making the most of opportunities, Mrs. Dorothy Huston, midwest magazine editor, told 150 University women yesterday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
"Don't copy anybody else; be natural." Mrs. Huston, who was introduced by Patricia Graham, vice-president of the L.S.A., insisted. She explained that the business world presents changes in the manner of dressing and doing things and that a lot depends on how a person looks in seeking and holding a job. "Don't be caught after graduation without proper clothing for the business world," Mrs. Huston warned the juniors and seniors in her audience. "Plan your wardrobe now and be prepared."
Dressed in a flowered jersey dress, black hat and pumps, with black earrings, a wedding ring, and a small gold bracelet as her only jewelry, Mrs. Huston demonstrated how to stand, walk, and sit. "Hitch yourselves to a star," she advised. "Pull yourselves up from the ankles and the hips and you will make a wonderful impression."
"Make-up does a great deal for some of us but it does too much to the rest of us." Mrs. Huston said in warning her audience not to use too much make-up. She advised the use of brown mascara instead of black because "black mascara makes women look hard." Rouge and a foundation cream are not needed for classes, Mrs. Huston said, and when they are used they should be used sparingly. Using a lipstick brush is a "neat trick" and gives a more natural appearance, she said. "Put the lipstick on your lips, blot the excess, powder your lips, moisten them, and then forget it."
In giving points for the care of the skin, Mrs. Huston said that care of the skin now will prevent problems later. She gave cleansing with soap and water as well with a cream, lubricating, and stimulating the skin as the requirements for a beautiful skin.
Avoid Too Much Make-Up
Suntans Injure Skin
"A tan is beautiful but the more often you tan the tougher your skin becomes," she reminded her audience. She advised the use of oil or cream on the face, shoulders, and arms to keep the skin from drawing up when exposed for a long period to bright sunshine.
In an interview after her talk Mrs. Huston advised University women to get some experience after being graduated before going to New York to look for a job.
serve on the committee, and Miss Snook will appoint representatives of campus political Miss Burch said, "and other middle large. Interested faculty members will also be asked to aid the committee's investigation, Miss Snook said.
Low Salaries Cause Resignations
Shafer and McIntire Sworn In
The report of the special committee investigating recent faculty losses was made by Miss Burch, who said that all data gathered by the committee indicates that faculty members who have left K.U. left because of wages. "There has been no salary increase at K.U. to balance with the higher costs of living" factions from the student body at western colleges have seen fit to make salary adjustments." Miss Burch's report will be submitted to Chancellor Malott for his approval with a letter to the Board of Regents requesting a hearing.
The request for a hearing before the Board of Regents was written by committee members, who feel that the Board should realize that K.U. students know the situation and want to know such circumstances exist on the K.U. campus. "The fact that we bring it up may compel them to act," Miss Burch added. The committee hopes to have a conference with the chancellor soon, and Miss Snook explained that the chancellor would be asked to meet with the council concerning his opinion of this move.
Ted Shafer and Louise McIntire were sworn in as new members by Miss Snook. Shafer represents the School of Medicine, and Miss McIntire is representative from the Schools of Fine Arts and Business to fill the vacancy left by the resignation last week of Beth Beamer Dimond.
The council discussed the possibility of a student drive to raise money for the Danforth chapel. Further plans for this drive will be discussed next week.
Johnson Addresses New War Course
Courtney Johnson, assistant to the president of the Studebaker corporation, at South Bend, Ind., discussed the entire range of problems in contract readjustment and settlement at the dinner meeting of the staff of the University's new extension course in war contract readjustment and settlement held last night at the Hotel Phillips, Kansas City, Mo.
About 100 enrollees were present for this first meeting of the course which will meet each week for 10 consecutive weeks. The lecture will be repeated tonight for the second section of the class.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 21, 1945
Kansan Comments
Proposed Bill For Highways To Aid Farmers
The future was made brighter for the Kansas farmer yesterday with the approval by the highway committee of the house, of the senate bill which provides for a postwar highway building program and a one cent gasoline tax increase.
Under the provisions of the bill and related plans developed by the administration, an average of $4 will be returned to counties for every $1 of taxes paid on gasoline in the exempt category. County commissioners would be allowed to decide on development of adequate secondary road systems which would include farm-to-market, school bus, and mail routes. The state highway department or the federal government would not dictate the improvements, but the control of placing and constructing the secondary roads would be a local responsibility.
Although Kansas has become increasingly industrialized since the outbreak of war, farm products are its chief contribution. But the country roads in many counties are so poor that farmers cannot get to town with a heavy load. After every rain, the county engineer corps may be found frantically trying to fill in mud-holes. In some counties the situation is so bad that entire roads have sunk.
Under the present budget approximately $11,000,000 is set aside for road maintenance for three years. When this is divided among 105 counties, it can be seen that the sum is inadequate. With the new allocations made possible by the bill, the counties will be able to make the products of their farm regions accessible in the market at all times of the year—mud will no longer isolate the farm.
State allocations to the individual counties on the 3-year basis will continue. It has been estimated that 90 per cent of the people of Kansas will live within two miles of a good hard-surfaced road with improvements on 12,000 miles of secondary roads made possible by the highway bill.
Although several big eastern oil companies have established active lobbies in Topeka in a determined fight to defeat the highway program it is believed that their lobbying will not be very effective in many places. Members of the legislature at last seem determined that their districts shall have good roads.

"Been whistled at by a parrot?"—has become a common campus question at the University of Texas since Joe, a Brazilian parrot, was recently lost. A former student visited not long ago, bringing the bird to his family. They are extremely worried as the parrot's vocabulary consists of nothing more than "Hi" and "Go Away."
Library Displays Rare Editions Of Noted Works
Display of two rare editions of the works of Machiavelli have been placed in the show case of the Library circulation room. One volume is a 1550 edition written in Italian and belonging to the library, and the other is a 1720 copy in English, lent by Dr. John Ashton, professor of English.
Along with these two editions, more recent copies are shown for comparison of form and print. A new book, "Accent on Power" by Valerius Marcu, on the life and works of Machiavelli, is shown and will be available for reading. The display will remain in the library for two weeks according to Mildred Hershey, reference librarian.
Dr. Sanderson, Coleopterist Visits Friends and Relatives

Don Cousins desires that the public be notified of his latest publication, "The Love Life of Don Juan Cousins," which will probably appear in the next issue of the Jayhawker. The only reason that this review of one semester's dating might not be published is that the Jayhawker photographers are having a considerable amount of trouble getting film for pictures of all the Cousins' women.

If anyone would like to know why the Phi Gams have been appearing en masse wearing saddle shoes, it's because they beat the Betas to the fire sale. Wally Rouse was particularly pleased as it has been two years, according to his brothers, since he's been able to find size 14 in "this particular style."

Mikan, c      DePaul
Kurland, g    Okla. Ags
Ferrin, g     Utah
St. Louis, Mo., March 21 — Averaging six-feet-five and capable of scoring 75 to 80 points per game, the 1944-45 All - America Basketball team selected by The Sporting News is composed of Wynold Gray of Bowling Green, Ohio, and Howard Dallmar of Pennsylvania at forwards; George Mikan of DePaul at center, and Bob Kurland of Oklahoma A. A. M. and Arnold Ferrin of Utah at guards.
Six-foot-nine Mikan and sevenfoot Kurland were hailed as two of the outstanding players of the year. Though both are centers, they were placed on the first team because of their ability to fill any position. Mikan is a repeated, having also made The Sporting News honor five of 1943-44.
Gray has been acclaimed by all who have seen him as one of the shiftiest players in the game, with unusual scoring, as well as playmaking, ability. Dallmar, a former Stanford star, was the main reason why Penn won the Ivy League crown and almost single-handedly engineered the lone死def of Army. He is a rebound man deluxe. Ferrin, key man in Utah's drive to the mythical national title last season, was rated even a better man this year and piloted the Utes to an undefeated conference season.
On the second team are Bob Dilley of Valparaiso and Fritz Nagy of Akron at forwards, Vince Hanson of Washington State at center, and Herb Wilkinson of Iowa and Billy

A Strong Intramurals Program The announcement this morning that there will be no baseball or tennis teams representing the University will certainly release a lot of experienced performers for participation in intramural sports. In the tennis and softball tournaments coming up soon competition is sure to be rough.
Although the number of men entered in the current handball tournament is better than was originally expected, most organizations are eagerly awaiting the advent of the softball season. Competition in this lively spring sport is always spirited, and this year is certain to be no exception.

Last year, because of a lighter enrollment of male students and a late start, only eight teams were entered. Phi Gam's, Blanks, Beta's, Phi Delt's Sigma Chi, Delt's, Phi Psi's, and Battenfeld all had teams entered. The Blanks won the title, winning seven and losing no games. The other teams finished in this order: Phi Gam; Delt, Beta (tie); Battenfeld; Sigma Chi, Phi Psi (tie); Phi Delt. The Blanks then proceeded to win the play-offs, nosing out the Phi Gam's, to make a clean sweep of the season.
Aggies Are Highly Rated
The NCAA semifinals at Kansas City Friday and Saturday are beginning to edge out the state high school tournament in the basketball limelight. The tourney will see the four top collegiate teams of the West, Oregon, Oklahoma A. & M., Arkansas, and Utah. The Aggies are perhaps the most highly touted team of
f(continued from page one)
the four, rated third in the nation not so long ago. The Utah cage team will be a vastly different aggregation from the five which won so many contests this season, since Arnold Ferrin was drafted into the Army and Fred Sheffield will be left behind. The Aggies seem to be the best bet for the Western and probably the National title although the Oregonites may perhaps contest this viewpoint rather hotly.
PHOTO--ever, is presented in such a manner that the operation can be understood by viewing the posters in sequence, Mr. Johnson said.
Working with photographs taken by high speed reconnaissance planes from 50 to 35,000 feet above the enemy, navy interpreters analyze and identify objects that are mere pin-points. Identifying minefields, barbed wire, machine gun nests, and underground installations are all in the day's and night's work of navy and marine experts. Another phase of the work is watching the Japs construct defenses and airfields under the jungle growths until the proper time to strike.
From aerial photographs taken over the enemy's innermost defenses that never before have been seen or mapped by U.S. forces, the photographic interpreters can in a short time reveal what is there and what is being done. They then reconstruct the enemy's territory on models that are used to study and plan future operations.
K.U. Will Not Have Baseball or Tennis Teams This Spring
There will be no baseball or tennis teams representing K.U. this spring, Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the Athletic Association, announced this morning. Lack of intercollegiate competition was given by Mr. Falkenstein as the dominate reason.
Other colleges in this vicinity and in the Big Six are, not attempting to participate in most of the usual spring events, except track, and competition would have to have been with service organizations.
Last year the University tennis team was very successful, winning most of its matches, while the baseball squad lost the majority of its games. No Big Six authorized games or matches were scheduled, although the conference teams did meet each other to some extent.

Americans Open Fight for Ruhr; Nazi Camps Hit
International News Service
Troops of the United States first army opened the battle for the Ruhr valley today in the wake of the third army's stunning victory in the Saar-Pallatine which wiped out or doomed an estimated 100,000 German soldiers.
While first army troops attacked along the Sieg river, some 11 miles south of the Ruhr basin, speeding third army columns cut the last good east-west highway in the Saar pocket.
Soviet troops drove steadily closer to Danzig and Stettin, while heavy air attacks were made on targets in Hungary.
German army encampments in concentration centers in the Ruhr were battered by more than 1300 heavy American bombers and 700 Mustangs. The initial blow of the aerial onslaught on the Ruhr was concentrated on nine enemy army camps.
Louisiana Urges Participation Louisiana college urges greater student participation in college affairs as practical training for adult responsibilities.
On the Russian front Premier Joseph Stalin announced that the Red army has launched a powerful new offensive 47 miles south of Breslau, smashing German defenses and gaining 25 miles.
Louisiana Urges Participation
A spokesman for Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower said the third army now controls the Rhine from Coblenz to Ludwigshafen.
The Remagen bridgehead was again expanded slightly. Americans moving northward are now in control of a seven-mile stretch on the southern banks of the Sieg river. They also are in control of a 14-mile stretch along the six lane Cologne-Frankfort autobahn.
In the Pacific, widespread attacks on Japanese objectives, and mopping up in the Philippines featured the war news.
Two student concert artists, Gorgjia Weinrich, junior, and Allen Rogers, sophomore, will appear in a two-piano recital, Wednesday evening in Fraser theater.

Miss Weinrich, Kansas City, is a piano major in the studio of Jan Chiapusso. She has already appeared in several recitals in Kansas City and will appear with the University Symphony Orchestra soon. In the National Music Festivals, she receiver four first ratings and three ratings of highly superior in auditions held by the National Guild of Piano Teachers.
Allen Rogers, Topeka, a student in piano under Carl A. Preyer, has appeared frequently in recitals in Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City. For three successive years, he received a division 1 rating in the National Music festivals. Last year at the honors convocation, he was top ranking freshman and was given the Fi Kanna Lambda proficiency award.
A Kappa Lambalu protested where He was granted also the Mu Phi Epsilon gift scholarship and recently has been awarded a Summerfield scholarship.
Journalism Picture Shown Tomorrow
The organization and routine of a modern daily newspaper was shown in a sound motion picture in room 102 of the Journalism building at 2:30 today and will be shown to classes again at 9:50 and 10:30 tomorrow morning. The picture was filmed for the Minneapolis Star-Journal and the running time is 21 minutes.
Journalism students of the University High school attended the movie this afternoon, and students from Liberty Memorial High school will attend tomorrow. Anyone interested in seeing the successive stages in newspaper publication may come at either hour, Prof. Elmer E. Beth, acting chairman of the journalism department announced.
Daniel Foresees North America As Trade Capital
North America, with Canada and the United States leading the economic world, will be the capital of trade in all directions, Hawthorne Daniel, navy war correspondent, who addressed the community lecture course audience in Fraser theater last night.
"Canada has surpassed her mother country owing to her many natural resources," asid the speaker. "Her population of 11 million is still growing, while Great Britain's population is becoming static."
Most people fail to understand the forces of nations by sea, explained Mr. Dainel, because schools fail to teach adequate geography. Flat maps which are used most are inaccurate because the world is divided into two hemispheres with each edge in the ocean. Decans Connect. Not Wild.
Oceans Connect, Not Divide
"This appears to make the oceans divide, whereas they really connect the world," said Mr. Daniel. "The oceans are the great highways of the world, and the continents divide the world."
Dividing the world into oceanic areas, Mr. Daniel makes one portion the Pacific-Indian area and the other the Atlantic area. "The Pacific-Indian Ocean area is British, with the exception of Britain herself. More force from 'Great Britain would solve many problems,' believes Mr. Dainel, "but England (continued to near two)

Veterans to Star In Army Show Saturday Night
Seven veterans of the battle for Bastogne will be featured in the free Army show which will be given at 8 o'clock Saturday night in the Community building. The show was organized by Maj. Gen. C. H. Danielson, commanding general of the Seventh Service Command.
The battle of Bastogne is one of the most inspiring stories of courage and heroism to come from Europe so far in this war. Bastogne is the little Belgian town where Gen. Anthony McAuliffe answered German surrender demands with his famous one-word reply: "Nuts!"
The show includes, besides the veterans, 51 officers and enlisted men, the 306th Army Service Force band from O'Reilly General hospital, a 17-piece swing band, a 27-piece male chorus, a solo pianist, the "Camp Crowder String Quartet" and a G. I. impersonator. Several of the musicians have done concert work with leading symphony orchestras.
The show will be given for the workers of the Sunflower Ordnance works Saturday afternoon.

Quig Nearly Misses Own Party Celebrating 64th Birthday Secretary Plans Boss' Surprise
"My, what goes on here?" queried E. C. Quigley, as he stepped into his office this morning to find a huge birthday cake on his desk. It was a surprise birthday party given for "Quiq" on his 64th birthday by Mrs. Broderick Johnson, Mr. Quigley's secretary. The party almost fell through due to "Quig" himself.
Finally the guest of honor arrived,
and accepted the cake with a big
Mrs. Johnson had informed Mr. Quigley that there would be a man in the office to see him at 10 a.m. today, and at 9:45 Mr. Quigley still hadn't appeared on the scene. Mrs. Johnson called his home, and learned that Mr. Quigley was going to Topea, but that he would stop by the office for a few minutes.
That's what Quig thought, but a few minutes later, the entire physical education staff filed into the office, with plates in hand. Ice cream was served to the coaches, Mrs. Hulteen, Dr. Allen's secretary, Earl Falkenstein, Quig's right-hand man, Mr. Broderick Johnson, Charles Moffett, and George Dick.
The guest of honor had to hurry off, and trustingly left the remainder of his cake on his desk. The rapid diminishing of the cake can be attributed to the frequent visitors in the athletic office today.

New York, (INS) — Dean Virginia Gildersleve of Barnard College, only woman delegate to the San Francisco world security conference, declared today that at the parley she would speak for women in the new world as well as for youth and "its faith in the vision in the better world."

The modern composer, who by his critics has been named among the top music writers of today and been compared with men like Strauss and Lehar of a generation ago, will present a group of his outstanding scores, from "Maytime," "Blossom Time," and the "Student Prince." Along with these he will give some selections from Tschalkowsky, Ravel, Strauss, Kern and others.
The Hungarian born, world famous composer is of a family of artists and writers, and is related to the wife of Johann Strauss. Actually Mr. Romberg never attended a music school of any kind, although he studied and mastered the violin and learned the rudiments of the piano from his father's teaching. He began his career in Vienna in the Nineties by playing with school bands, being able to play the cello, trumpet, and drums along with his mastery of the violin and piano. Mr. Romberg has been called a "giant among music makers of the world."

Letter to the Editor
(Editor's Note: Early in November a telegraphist of the British navy requested, in a letter to the dean (addressed to the "rector") that his address be distributed among the University coeds who he hoped would consider starting a "strictly platonic" correspondence. The sailor faithfully promised that he would "write regularly if some kind young lady will take pity on me." Dear Sir:
Would you please oblige me by returning my sincere thanks to all coeds at your university who offered to correspond with me. I regret that I cannot thank them personally but, believe me, I did appreciate their open-mindedness in being willing to write to a total stranger.
I would also like to add my apologies for addressing my letter to "The Rector." Please excuse this slip on the grounds of my unfamiliarity with American terms. I am, yours sincerely—Bill Ford.

Of these three colonies, Canada is the most likely to fill her Mother's shoes as one of the wealthiest economic nations of the world. "The peak for British increase in population will probably be reached during this decade," noted the speaker, "but Canada will keep on growing."

One of the first questions, following Mr. Daniel's lecture, was "What about Russia?" The lecturer had not mentioned the Soviet Union in his analysis and prediction of world economies.
Russia, Mr. Daniel's answered, will figure along side the United States and the British Empire in world trade. These three powers should be able to establish a balance and maintain peace. The one difficulty will be the fact that Russia maintains an economic system which is so different from that of the other two powers.
"The Soviet, however, is coming in our direction," he said. "This makes me very happy."
Then after some thought, he added, "And we are going some in the Soviet's direction. With this, I'm not pleased."

Absent-minded professor — The other day Liz Baker, Chi O, was pondering over an Editing II quiz—in an empty class room. Suddenly Gordon Sabine, new journalism instructor, burst in, asking to borrow her pencil. Hastily writing this note, he tacked it on a nearby board: "Elizabeth Baker, please see me immediately." Well, he isn't quite that absent-minded—you see Mr. Sabine had never met Liz!

JANUARY 1953
In their interesting war work Bell Laboratories' scientists have been on a new kind of hunt. They have tracked down different materials for those now hard to get, found others that would serve in special conditions, and have detected in captured equipment the kinds of material the enemy uses.
This laboratory, ready to move anywhere on short notice, runs down "crimes" against good telephone service. Finding these threats is one of the many jobs of the Bell Telephone Laboratories' scientists.
TRACKING DOWN TROUBLE
The "criminals" are such things as threads of lint, traces of acids, or sulphur compounds in the air any of which might damage telephone equipment.

Rohrer Is Promoted At Italian Air Base
Captain Charles S. Rohrer, who received his bachelor of science degree in mining engineering in 1934, was recently promoted from first lieutenant in Italy at Peninsular Base headquarters.
927 Mass. St.
A chemistry instructor, Captain Rohr师 taught at Hunter college, New York city, before being commissioned as a first lieutenant in the Chemical Warfare service. He has been overseas since May 5, 1943, in England, Africa, and Italy.

German Books Sent To KU by Alumnus
Captain Rohrer is passive air defense officer for his headquarters. After instructing in similar work in the United States for nine months in the War Department Civilian Protection schools, he was chosen as one of four officers to develop passive air defense for American forces in the North African Theater of Operations. It became Captain Rohrer's responsibility to handle a greater portion of the air raids on Naples and it has been his job to follow up and aid in the development of passive air defense from its very beginning in North Africa through Italy.
The president of the University of Washington holds a reception annually for the parents of all freshmen.
Captured German books printed by the Nazi government for distribution among the German troops for propaganda purposes, were received recently by Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, from Lieut. Kalman Oranetz, '40.
Lieutenant Oranetz, who has been stationed with the headquarters of the European civil affairs division for more than a year, submitted the 34 books for distribution to the German department or to any others interested in Nazi trends of thought during war years when America was cut off from close study of the German people.
The possibility that these books might be added to the war memento collection of historical and social significant items was suggested by Mr. Ellsworth. War memientos already received by the University include court regalia from Aachen, the flag official of Naples, and weapons from the South Pacific.

Cyclones Start Baseball Drill With 23 Players
Ames, Iowa-Starting the 1945 baseball season without the services of pitcher Mel Kleen, the Iowa State Cyclone baseball team may have a rough row to hoe. Coach Chick Sutherland moved his squid outside Monday as light drills started.
The squad has been cut to 23 members, and Sutherland will start organization of candidates to see what material he has on hand with which to build his team for the coming season. Gene Pheips, Wells, Minn., letterman from last year's squad, is expected to report at a later date to bolster the lineup. In addition to Pheips, Sutherland has Don Halverson, Tom Chudomelka, Dick Scott, and Howard Voelker, who have seen action with the squads of last year. Chudomelka was on the 1943 team but spent a year in the army since that time.
As it appears now, Iowa State College will be the only Big Six school to have a baseball team this season. Consequently, there will be no Big Six schedule. Last year, the Cyclones played college teams from the University of Kansas and the University of Minnesota and service teams from Ottumwa and the Seahawks. It is expected that service teams will make up the major part of opposition this season in the absence of college baseball teams.

All four games are expected to be close, for the cage squads seem to be fairly evenly matched this year. El Dorado, however, is given an edge over the Capital City five, while the Salina-Columbus contest appears to be anybody's ball game. El Dorado and Columbus won the semi-final championships by downing Salina and Topeka respectively.
Tomorrow the four class A and B teams will go into action. Pairings were announced earlier this week. Saturday night will see the finals in all three divisions. Advance ticket sales, according to Emporia sources, have not been too lively as yet, although the crowd may possibly exceed current hopes. Anthony, Halstead, Eureka, and Madison give every indication of supporting the tourney with crowds of spectators, having purchased considerable blocks of tickets already.

Sooner Sleight-of-hand?
By EARL BARNEY
more examples of that old Sooner luck comes to us from down Norman way. At last Saturday's 22nd annual Southwest Exposition track and field meet at Ft. Worth, Tex., Coach John Jacobs thinclads wive five of six coin flips for trophies and ribbons.
The Oklahomaans tied with Texas A. & M. in the mile relay, but won the flip to determine who would receive the handsome trophy, and also won three of the four individual trophies. Bill Wilson, Sooner polevaulter, tied two Texas opponents for first place but won the "ood" man flap for the first place trophy.
All this, of course, couldn't help but remind us of the Drake Relays of 1928 when four men tied for first in the pole vault event. Among these four were Bruce Drake, now Sooner basketball coach, and Johnny Bryce, both members of Jacob's Oklahoma team. On the flip to determine who would receive the trophies, Drake won the gold watch and Bryce the gold medal. Such luck! . . .

critic: "If the finals had been run off last week there is no doubt in my mind that the Wildcats would have continued their rush straight to a title. They were playing good ball. Don't get the idea that they won by flukes! They were just better than their opponents, especially on the nights they met and defeated Hutchinson, Wellington, and Salina in that order."

"Columbus was what surprised yours truly most. Unheralded and practically overlooked in watching Chanute, the Titans smacked the state champions . . . trumped Chanute . . . and then coming through against Topeka . . .
Comments from others on Columbus
"In their march the Titans have beaten teams which tried to outrun their zone defense—and they have beaten teams which tried to freeze the ball outside the zone . . . Chanute lost trying to outrun them and Topeka found the southeast Kansas outfit too accurate at the free throw line."

"I have no regrets at growing old, and Dr. Burdick "because I feel that I have lived through one of the most interesting eras in the history of the United States." He pointed out that he had lived almost all of the latter half of the historically important period of this country—the period form 1776 to 1945.
The chapel, scheduled to be erected by June, will be slightly changed from original plans to accommodate the painting. A Missouri artist is completing work on the painting which is 5 feet, $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches by 3 feet, $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches in size. The painting will hang on the east wall of the chapel.

Western Front Push Planned To Finish War
International News Service
The radio waves of Europe vibrated today with persistent reports from both allied and enemy sources that a new big push designed to end the war on the western front with a minimum amount of time is about to begin.
Moanwhile, the United States first and third army troops cleaned out the last centers of Nazi resistance along the Rhine.
Lt. Gen, Courtney Hodge's first army forces struck out from the expanding Remagen bridgehead area east of the river northward toward the Ruhr valley. Lt. Gen, George F. Patton's third army captured the city of Mainz after a siege of 48 hours.
All the facts at hand made it apparent that the 21st army group under command of Sir Bernard Montgomery, British field commander, has completed preparations for a surge across the northern regions of the Rhine.
London told of a growing Soviet threat against southern Germany with increased Russian gains toward the Moravian gap which leads into Austria, while American bombing planes again ranged over the perimeter of Japan to deal new blows to the Pacific enemy, diminishing active strength and potential resources.
Five corners will be given by the Women's Glee club in Topeka next Thursday. The group, under the direction of Irene Peabody, already have a full schedule with performances planned for the All-Musical Vespers, YWCA vespers, and the Music week festival.
Master of ceremonies on the trip will be Don Cousins, V-12 junior; who will play a saxophone solo. A skit will be presented by Martha Laffer, Nancy Slater, Anne Scott, and Margaret Hall.
In Topeka they will give a program at the Topeka High school morning assembly; during the noon hour they will sing for the Rotary-Father-Daughter luncheon at the Hotel Jayhawker; and in the afternoon will give a performance at Winter General hospital. In the evening the club will give a concert at the Air Base hospital, along with singing at the Base Service club.
Women's Glee Club Will Fulfill Five Engagements in Topeka
Responding to a request of the Council of Social Agencies in Kansas City, Mo., the University Guidance bureau represented by Dr. A. H. Turney, yesterday entered in a consultatory capacity upon a plan to provide vocational guidance for out-of-school youth in the Greater Kansas City area.
During Music week, the Glee club will appear April 12 to sing choral numbers, assisted by Norma Jean Lutz, mezzo-soprano, and Frances Sartori, flutist.
Newly-elected members of Glee club are Margaret Hall, president; Jane Malin, business manager; Beverly Stucker, secretary; Norma Jean Lutz, student director; Mildred Carpenter, librarian; Marjorie Fadler, assistant librarian; and Anne Krehbiel, accompanist.
Wednesday they will present several numbers for the YWCA vespers and on April 30 will appear in the annual spring concert in Hoch auditorium.
A. H. Turney Assists K.C.Social Agencies In Youth Guidance
Represented at the conference Thursday afternoon were the central council of the agency, the Y.M.C.A., the W.Y.C.A., children's bureau, U.S. employment service, and several business concerns.
Dr. Turney is a member of a committee to study standards and costs of such a guidance service which will be mainly for the aid of postwar youth not in service.
The recommendation of Dr. Turney and Miss Elizabeth Wilson, guidance program chairman, that standards and costs are an essential pre-requisite, caused the committee to consider such action immediately.
Although the problems of out-of school youth are not an immediate concern of the University, it has been the policy of the University to supply consultants where needed in the belief that non-collegiate problems and collegiate problems are entwined.

Kansan Comments
Forum Coffees Reveal Interest And Hospitality
As part of a new "tradition" at the University, the fourth of a series of coffees was held this week in honor of a guest speaker of the University. These coffees, the first of which was held early last fall, have proved to be more successful than at first was anticipated, according to their student chairmen.
The guest of honor often has welcomed the opportunity to speak to the informal groups and has given an off-the-record report more interesting and to the point than the speech which was prepared for the formal assembly. In most cases, the guest speakers have been very willing to answer questions concerning interesting personal experiences and professional duties.
To insure the guest an appreciative audience, members of the Forum committee extend invitations only to those students who are recommended by their professors as being especially interested in the field in which the guest lecturer has become noted. Faculty members teaching courses related to the speaker's field also are invited. Expenses are met, to a large degree, with funds allocated to the Forum committee from the profits of the Union carnival which was held last fall.
Members of the Student Union Activities board originated the project last September, and the Forum committee was appointed to develop the plans. Through these informal entertainments, it was hoped that outstanding guests of the University would be made to feel more welcome on the campus and among the student body. It also was believed that the coffees would provide an opportunity for underclassmen to meet and converse with some of the outstanding men and women of America.
The Union Activities board and the Forum club are to be complimented for making the coffees possible. Not only will they serve as symbols of the University's hospitality toward visiting speakers and artists, but the coffees also will give attending students excellent opportunities to discuss important issues of the day with experts in all fields of knowledge. All this will do much toward creating a favorable impression of Kansas University in the minds of the visiting artists and lecturers. Their comments, as they travel to other sections of the country, constitute a major factor in building the reputation of the University.
Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday, partly cloudy tomorrow.
Kansas Bill Hikes Post-War Gas Tax
A postwar highway bill, center of a bitter debate in the Kansas legislature, passed the house of representatives yesterday with a margin of only three votes.
The bill was previously passed by the senate, achieving a bare constitutional majority of 21 there. It will now be sent to Gov. Andrew Schoepp, who supported it with his full weight.
The measure provides for a postwar tax of one cent a gallon to be added to the state's three-cent gasoline tax, to match Federal road funds. Non-highway fuel is not exempted on the extra penny.
Governor Schoeppel said last night that state engineers would start immediately to help counties set up secondary road plans. He described the bitterly-fought bill as "a constructive piece of legislation" to give both counties and the state "their greatest opportunity to get more roads and better roads than they have ever had before."
Capital and Labor In Extension Class
A class in applied psychology, sponsored by the extension division and attended by members of the International Ladies Garment Workers union and the Associated Managers association began last Monday night at the Hotel Phillips in Kansas City, Mo., announced Guy V. Keeler, director of the Engineering, Science, Management War Training program. Enrollment has reached 150.
The course, which will last 12 weeks, meeting every Monday night, is under the supervision of Dr. Roy Browning, head of the extension center in Kansas City. Expenses will be divided between the union and the manufacturers' association. Miss Elizabeth Cass is teaching the course
"This is an excellent example of capital and labor getting, together in one class for the purpose of discussing their problems together," Mr. Keeler said.
This class is one of many being taught regularly in Kansas City and other localities under the direction of the extension division.
Miss Frances Abts, journalism graduate in 1844, addressed a professional meeting of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, in the Journalism building yesterday afternoon.

Miss Abts, a former chapter member, told informally of her work and experiences as police and city hall reporter for the Kansas City Kansan.

The folly of feudin': The Dee Gees have a new feuding partner, in the form of the Sigma Chi's, their West Hills neighbors. But they brought it all on themselves this time. Wednesday night the gals made off with the prize package of the Chi lodge—their newly acquired, newly painted jalopy—and took it to the Dee Gee house for a remodeling job. When the Sigma Chi's arrived, the beautiful black and white paint job had been painted in vicious colors with wings and Beta Theta Pi written on the sides.
Foolosophy: Lighting three cigarettes on a match these days isn't unlucky, according to the campus fag fiends. It's just unlikely.
That was too much for the boys, so they laid waste to the house on the Hill, painting everything in sight, with special emphasis on anything in shorts resembling female legs. The merry whirl came to a halt, when Guynelle Jones, in pursuit of an invader, stumbled and broke her big toe. It's funny, but Guy, in Watkins hospital, can testify that it hurts, too.

Father fumes over fees: Then there was the father of a College freshman, who receiving his off-spring's request for payment of his fees, bitterly addressed his check to the business office at Frank Strong "Haul."
Novel name: Duke D'Ambra, local photographer, has been dubbed "Forever D'Ambra" by the Dramatic Workshop crew whose picture he took so long to take this week. Duke's favorite explanation of his real name is "Just call me Duke, 'cause I ain't no count."

N.C.A.A. Meet Opens Tonight In Kansas City
The rousing climax to the surprising 1944-45 basketball season, the N. C. A. A. western play-offs, will start tonight in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium when Oregon tangles with Arkansas and Utah mixes with the Oklahoma Aggies. The first game begins at 8 o'clock, and the second contest will start at 9:30.
All four cage squads will be ready to go, but the Utes will be minus the services of star players Arnold Fertin and Fred Sheffield. Oklahoma A. & M. and Arkansas are the pre-game favorites, although anything is liable to happen when so much is at stake.
The Eastern play-offs began in New York last night as Ohio State won out over a fast moving Kentucky team, 45-37. The New York university Violets won the other finals slot by outsourcing Tufts college, 59-44. The division champions will meet for the national title next Tuesday in the Empire State capital.

Sooners Acquire Two New Grid Coaches To Bolster 1945 Coaching Staff
Norman, Okla., March 23 -The first complete coaching staff in three years is handling Oklahoma's Sooners in the current spring football drills.
With 15 letter men, including the four all-Big Six stars Dale Lobow, W. G. "Dub" Wooten, Merle Dinkins and Bob Mayfield, gone from Oklahoma's Big Six championship clubs of 1943 and 1944, Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster secured two new coaches to help him mould a team that it is hoped will make a respectable showing next fall.
Harry Phillips, the University of Arizona's line coach of 1942, is one of them. Wooten, Oklahoma's honor co-captain and all-Big Six end of the last two years, is the other. Phillips will handle the Oklahoma line, Wooten the Sooner ends.
Phillips is being borrowed lend lease from Arizona which gave him leave of absence. Capt. Orville Tuttle, now a marine, has the job anytime he can come back to it. Similarly Phillips is bound to Arizona whenever Coach Miles Castell calls

Japs Report New Yank Landings
International News Service
Tokyo today reported an electrifying new development in the Pacific—an "attempted" American landing in the Ryukyu chain of islands at the very threshold of Japan.
American headquarters remained silent on the report.
Japanese garrison forces were said to be "fiercely" engaged in "intercepting". the Yank assault troops, which were described as numbering in the thousands.
It is known that the United States has a task force in the vicinity of the Ryukyu islands which are represented on the map as a chain of dots extending southwest of the Japanese mainland at a distance of not more than 150 miles. The islands are midway between Japan and Formosa.
Radio reports from Tokyo said that the attempted landings had been made on four islands, the largest of which has the base of Nahu.
Formosa was heavily bombed over the weekend and a reconnaissance flight revealed that the southern part of the large island has a virtual blackout because of the destruction of utility properties.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, is in Beatricle, Neb., where he will speak before the Y.M.C.A. today.
A total of 174 inches of rain fell in this community during the weekend. Most of the water fell during the deluge of Saturday forereon which turned streets into small rivers.
A wind that developed cyclonic proportions ripped a roof off a building at DeSoto Saturday, and severed a power line that served the Sunflower Ordnance works.
Heavy rains in the Osage and Lyon counties area Sunday sent the waters of the Marais des Cygnes and Neosho rivers over their banks.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 26, 1945
Kansan Comments Letter to the Editor Kansas Nearing
Dear Editor:
In your editorial of March 20, you stated that there are a number of Kansans who consider it "un-Kansan-like to publicize or to prove our worth." When I read the editorial, I wondered how many other students who saw it realize the truth of your statement. I also wondered how many of them would dismiss the whole idea from their minds, thinking that even though Kansas is an object of ridicule, it is too late to do anything about it.
I, for one, am inclined to believe that it is not too late to "do something about" the ridicule Kansas receives. Kansans should hang their heads with shame instead of clapping when movies scoff at the Sunflower state. Are we really proud of having country boobs with hayseed in their ears represented as coming from out state? Are we proud of having some moron who mumbles a few unintelligible words say he comes from Kansas? If we don't take pride in all this, no one would ever know it by our actions.
Surely not all of us think our fellow Kansans are something laughable. Those who remember John Brown, who although a fanatic, crushed for a worthy ideal and had the courage to die for that cause, cannot think we've never had anything but hicks in this state. And have we forgotten that Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the ocean, and Carrie Nation, another nationally-known crusader, were Kansas products? There are hundreds of others—among them Raymond Clapper Gen. Dwight Lisenhower, Martin and Osa Johnson, William Allen White, Dr. Charles M. Shelton, and Glenn Cunningham. These people prove that in business, professional, theological, and agricultural life, Kansans have been and are leaders.
Next time somebody takes a crack at Kansas, let's let them know that our state and the people in it are not laughing matters.
A Loyal Kansan.

Kansas Nearing Industrialization Report Shows
Kansas' economic progress during the conversion and reconversion period following the war will depend largely on what can be done with ten Kansas plants, in the opinion of Leslie Waters, associate professor of economics at the University of Kansas, whose book, "Kansas Manufacturing and the War Economy, 1940-44" is being released at the University of Kansas Press this week. A complete census of manufacturing in Kansas during that period, the book is the first in a series of economic studies "which are intended to provide material basic to development of a stronger economy in Kansas."
The study shows an increase of 230 per cent in manufacturing in Kansas during the four-year period, with over 90 per cent of the total gain made by the ten firms and their subcontractors.
Manfacturing Was on Decline
"The chief export of Kansas in the 1930's was population," Professor Waters pointed out. From 1900 the number of manufacturing establishments in the state had been declining, the study shows, but the war arrested that trend. "In the post-war period we want to export manufactured goods instead of our most valuable assets—our young people," he declared.
"During the war period the state's economy has shifted from that of primary manufacturing (flour mills, etc.) to industries requiring highly skilled labor," he explains. "The state is sure to have an abundant supply of labor thoroughly conditioned to the factory system, but skills are fleeting. How many employees will the ten war plants retain?" Professor Waters asks.
May Expect Mass Unemployment
"A certain amount of mass unemployment is to be expected in Kansas during the transition," he predicts. "Employment requirements of ten large establishments may easily decline by 70,000."
"Great strides were made during the conflict toward a desirable balance among industry, commerce, and agriculture," he points out. "Can the new equilibrium be retained? Yes, if the challenge of the times is faced squarely, and conquered by foresight, intelligence, courage, and knowledge."
Professor Water's book was financed by a special appropriation for industrial research by the Kansas State Legislature. The study covered 70 per cent (153) of the firms in the state turning out 95 per cent of all manufactured goods in the state and was made through the Bureau of business research of the School of Business of the University

Star III, Topeka Loses to Salina in State Tourney
With their star center running a temperature of 102 and still playing sketball, the Topeka Trojans topped the state high school baseball AA championship to the Satta Maroons, 45-43, at Emporia Saturday night. Halstead scored a reat in the class B division by deating Pretty Prairie, 44 to 30, while the Anthony Pirates sank the errer hopes to take the class Aown.
in the feature attraction of the ming, the Maroons slipped into an 12-3 lead, but the Topeka five whittled at the lead, cutting to 36-32 going into the last quarter. The score was then tied by Apizic's toss with thirty seconds remain—but Lippolt then was awarded free throws and made both of good. Maurice Martin, star Troop 6 ft. 4 in. center, was suffering influenza, but made the trip show. The tall cager scored 13 shots before leaving the game on in the final quarter, sinking the initial City five's hopes.
stead Again Winner
Halstead had more trouble winning out over Pretty Prairie than it had predicted. The Pretty Praise went into an early lead, behead 24-23 at half-time. But in third quarter the Prairie guard had been guarding Halstead's scorer, England, went out via the route, and was joined shortly by of his teammates who had been most of the Pretty Prairie ing. From then on it was all ahead, giving the Ark Valley five bird title in four years.
we tall lads from Anthony were too much for the Turner five, the Western Kansas team lead from the starting whistle. Many observer predicted that the class allist could defeat the best the bracket had to offer, and others id have liked to see a play-off be en the different class champions.

The Oklahoma Aggies, winners of the N.C.A.A. western playoff in Kansas City Saturday night, will clash with New York University tomorrow night in the second meet of the National N.C.A.A. at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Oklahoma Aggies To Clash With N.Y.U. In N.C.A.A.Meet
De Paul, Chicago, will meet Bowling Green, Ohio, tonight in the opening game of the tourney.
Aggies Have Victory
The Aggies, with a record of 25 victories and only four losses, outclassed the University of Arkansas Razorbacks to the tune of 68-41 Saturday night. Arkansas, primed for a shut down defense against big Bob Kurland, the Aggie 7-foot center, found him feeding the ball to other hotshots on the Oklahoma team.

Mikan Shoots 53 Points
Led by George Mikan, who shot an amazing 53 points in defeating Rhode Island State March 21, the De Paul Faul Demons are favored to capture the title that slipped from them last year when St. John's upset them in the championship game.
The winner of the Oklahoma A. and M.-N.Y.U. tilt will be matched against the winner of the De Paul-Bowling Green game for the mythical national title Thursday night in the Garden.
St. John's fell before Bowling Green in the semi-finals this year. The Ohio team's chances were shoved up a notch when it was learned that a leg injury forced Mikan out of practice Friday. Sparked by Don Otten, and Wendol Gray, Bowling Green came up strong through the preliminaries, and could possibly unseat the Blue Demons if Mikan is not up to par.
N.X.U. Beats Ohio State
N. Y.U. turned in a startling performance, beating Ohio State in an overtime period, 76-65, to take the eastern N.C.A.A. title. The Buckeyes were riding with a 10-point lead two minutes before the gun when N.Y.U. began to pour them

By EARL BARNEY
One of the few exceptions to this rule is Oklahoma A. & M. The Aggies do have a very fine defense, as has been shown time and again in some of their games this season. The "Goalie" ruling actually did more to cause this high scoring slurge than almost any other thing, as is shown in the case of the Aggies, Bob "Foothills" Kurland, 7 ft. Cowboy star, did mostly defensive work last year and the year before last, but now he is the main cog in the offensive wheel.
Martin Earns Our Respect
Such basketball teams, it is true, throw any semblance of a defense to the winds and attempt to score as many points as they possibly can in the 40 minutes of playing time. The teams bring the ball down the court as rapidly as possible and drive in for one shot after another. In so many attempts to score, they develop fine offensive stars, as, for example, Mr. Mikan.
through to tie the score. Three quick baskets in the last two minutes of the extra period carried the Violets out in front.
George Mikan's amazing feat of scoring 53 points in the National Invitation basketball tournament against Rhode Island State last week is causing comment all over the nation. Most of it is to the effect that perhaps basketball has turned into a sort of force, and has lost all of its former skill and teamwork. One source even hinted that perhaps the game was on the way out, having lost most of its sense of competition.

day night. Martin, a former Lawrence boy, was ill with infleunza all day Saturday, yet he insisted on making the trip to Emporia with the team. After Topeka had slipped behind badly in the first quarter of the ball game, "Moo" asked to be sent in, and, with a temperature of about 102, he sparked his team to a rally that all but won the ball game. Fans all remarked that if Martin had been in the game the whole time (he went out of the game on fouls in the fourth quarter), the Trojans would have wonds down.

"HANGOVER SQUARE"
The tournament this year more than ever accents the fact that such a title means very little as to the quality of a basketball team. Such fine ball clubs as Newton, Wellington, Junction City, Hutchinson, and Wichita North all went out somewhere along the route, all of them by very close scores. Topeka and Salina are fine teams, we admit, but the other aggregations all showed much more power at one time or another. Salina, from our point of view, however, is the most consistently good ball team in the state, while the Topeka outfit is probably the hottest in the state when they really get going.

Anthony, though, is better than most, if not any class AA teams the state can offer. The Turner lads were no pushovers, yet the Pirates won hands down. Observers commented that the boys could have

Weather Forecast Typically Spring As Wind Blows
Spring—a delightful time of the year — when wool comforters are pulled off beds and deposited on fire escapes and front lawns for the inevitable sunburn, the premature freckles.
According to predictions offered by the weatherman, Dandelion Day may again be in the offing. Continued mild weather, occasionally cloudy, but no rain, promise to keep up the unsteady tempo of spring weather.
And spring, also being indecisive, alternating between hot and cold, is the season of "fries," picnics, and all other forms of entertainment synonymous with the great outdoors.
Graduate Sells Marionettes As a Business
Hazelle's marionettes accidentally made money!
Thirteen years ago Hazelle Hedges, now Mrs. Hazelle H. Rollins, was graduated from the School of Fine Arts. She instructed in marionette making at the William Rockkill Nelson Art Gallery for a season and later studied marionettes with Tony Sarga in New York.
Characters were made for friends who requested them and when friends suggested she show the samples at the National Toy Fair in New York, she did so. So many orders were received that she found she was in the manufacturing business with no factory and no employees.
That was ten years ago. Today Hazelle's marionettes, which she made to represent fairy tale characters, are shipped all over the United States. If it weren't for the war, her business would thrive throughout Europe also.

Joseph Knitzler To Play Violin Here, April 10
Joseph Knitzer, violinist, will appear as a feature of music week for the Annual Young American Artist recital. The management of the University Concert course will sponsor the recital to be given April 10, in Fraser theater, free of admission charges.
The Annual Young American Artist recital was inaugurated several years ago by D. M. Swarthout, as a part of the music week program. "Honorable mention" was given to the University by a national survey made a few years ago to determine what schools were interested in helping the young Amrican artist gain recognition by his own countrymen.
Mr. Knitzer, whose concert manager is one of the largest in New York city, has been acclaimed by the New York Telegram as belonging with Viroval and Menuhin. Already he has appeared as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia, Detroit, Denver Civic, Harrisburg, Atlanta and National Symphony orchestras. As soloist he has played on the Ford Sunday Evening hour, Kraft Radio hour, and at the Ann Arbor and Worcester festivals.
Young concert artists who have performed in other years for the Annual recitals are:
Dalies Franz, Rosslyn Tureck, Eunice Norton, Sydney Foster, William Harms, Evelyn Swarthout, pianists, Helen Marshall, Virginia Haskins, Mary Louse Beltz, vocalists, Carrol Glenn, Henry Farbman, Sylvia Lent, violinists.

Argentina Declares War; Peace Rumor Unfounded

With General Eisenhower flatly stating that the German army is a "whipped army" Russian troops breaking through Danzig, and Argentina declaring war on the Axis powers, the world today witnessed the greatest military debacle of all times.
Three New Courses Offered in Wichita
Collapse of all organized enemy resistance in western Germany became an imminent possibility with unimpeded American and British advances deep into the heart of the crumbling
Three new extension courses in personnel management will be offered in Wichita beginning in April according to Guy V. Keeler, of the extension division.
The opening class in statistics will be held April 17, and will be taught by Dr. Philip H. Stephens, director of research of the Farm Credit administration.
Each course will meet for two hours, twice a week, for 12 weeks.
The labor relations class will be taught by A. A. Knapp, for many years personnel manager for the Coleman Lamp Co. The first class will be held April 24.
The course in employment procedure will be taught by L. H. Mosser, U. S. Employment service, and will begin April 16.
These courses are being offered under the direction of the School of Business and the University extension division.
Walking On Lawns Ordered Stopped
A. H. Gerard, traffic officer on the campus, wishes to inform all university students that walking on the lawns must be stopped. He has contacted the V-12 commander so that the V-12's will be well aware of the violation and University High school students will be notified by their principal.
Mr. Gerard said that the students get used to walking over the lawns in the winter and do not break the habit when warm weather arrives.
Ickes Says Independence For Philippines Harmful
Washington—Secretary Ickes said tonight that the United States should "give the Philippines whatever it wants," but expressed the view that independence now would be harmful.
"We want to aid the Philippines, whose loyalty to the United States during the war has been above any possible question," the interior secretary said.
"But I fear that the war has made inroads into its economy, its people and its government, too severe to permit a complete break with the United States at this time.
"I believe that a high commissioner should be sent to the islands as soon as possible."
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's third army tanks now are 100 miles from the border of Czechoslovakia, an N.B. C correspondent in Paris reported.
Main Defense Line Broken
General Eisenhower told a special news conference that Germany's main defense line on the western front has been definitely broken. Unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, he added, will be imposed and not negotiated. One quarter of a million Germans had been captured west of the Rhine, the Allied commander-in-chief said.
As Eisenhower spoke, seven separate Allied armies in overwhelming strength were swarming east through the heart of Germany from the Holland-German border of the north, through the Ruhr valley and deep into Bavaria on the western front while on the east mighty Red army forces were plunging toward Vienna on their southern flank and viping out remaining Nazi resistance on the Baltic flank.
Supreme headquarters confirmed a 33-mile dash by the U.S. first army, plunging to the East and a spokesman predicted an early breakthrough in the 21st army group area to the north.
Third Army Near Czech Border
Meanwhile, the White House made public the official text of an order by President Roosevelt directing American ambassadors and ministers to remain at their posts.
Dispatches from the third Ukrainian army front said that the Austrian border zone was already within the sound of Russian heavy guns. Argentina Joins War
The news that Argentina had declared war on the Axis powers came from Buenos Aires.
(News of the order caused a wide flurry of rumors that Germany had surrendered.)
Presidential Secretary Jonathan Daniels said the President had sent a memorandum to the secretary of state and members of the cabinet pointing out the importance of all chiefs of mission (ambassadors, ministers, etc.) remaining at their posts during this critical time and a similar message to members of the cabinet agreeing, as he felt, they should stay at their posts.

Kansan Comments
Rhine Crossing Raises Hopes Of Near Victory
With the new crossing of the Rhine and the "final defeat" of Germany under way, officials fear that dangerous optimism once again will capture the home front as it did in September. At that time wild predictions by many authorities as to the date of Germany's defeat caused war workers and the majority of others working for the war effort to slacken their production of essential war supplies and their contributions to the needs of the fighting men.
We paid a blood price for that optimism. However, it is doubtful that Germany will be able to repeat the miraculous comeback which she demonstrated last fall. To the surprise of all, the Rhine suddenly has ceased to be a great military barrier. Seven allied armies now have crossed the Rhine to join in the March to Berlin which is little more than 200 miles away. Russia's new spearhead stab toward Austria threatens Germany's back door.
These factors, in addition to the reports of the heavy rates of capture of enemy troops has submerged Nazi morale to great depths. Germany's hour indeed has been sounded in the west. If low morale, the slow response to Allied attacks, and the prisoner toll continue at their present rates, the final hour should not be far in the future.
Six Design Students Sell Textile Designs
Textile-designs by six students in the department of design of the School of Fine Arts have been purchased by the Barret Textile corporation of New York City, Miss Marjorie Whitney, professor of design, revealed today.
In buying the designs the firm complimented the University department of design for the fine work submitted by its students. Two designs were purchased from Mary Olive Marshall and one each from Helen Pepperell, Peggy Robinson, Lila Boughman, and Margery Burton.
The Barret company is one of two leading exclusive drapery firms in the country according to Miss Whitney.
Lt. Owen Maloney German Prisoner
Lt. Owen Maloney, Tulsa, is a prisoner of war in Germany, according to a message received yesterday by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Maloney.
Lieutenant Maloney attended Lawrence public schools and was a junior in the School of Engineering and Architecture when he enlisted in the summer of 1942. His sister, Marilyn, is a College junior.
He went overseas last November and was with the 15th air force in Italy. He had been reported as missing in action since January 31 when the B-24 bomber on which he was a navigator went down over a target near Vienna.
Dr. Henderson Visits Here; Returns to Washington, D.C.
Dr. Lyman Henderson of the University of Entomology and Plant Quantantine, Washington, D.C., has been visiting in Lawrence the past few days. He returned to Washington yesterday.
The University now has 114 students, former students, and graduates who have died during World War II, according to records in the alumni office as of March 1. In addition 28 have been reported missing in action.
114 Alumni Killed in War; 28 Missing
The total number of men in service as recorded in the alumni office is 4,606 and 159 women. Those who have reported as prisoners, four of whom are already released and safe again, total 29. The number of discharged reported is 45. The grand total of persons recorded in the alumni office as now in service or ever having been in service is 4,981.
Of the 28 missing in action, no hope is held for smoof them, but the parents and near relatives have not yet reported to the alumni office on having received official notification from the War or Navy departments that the person in question has been declared dead. In other cases in the missing in action list, it seems most likely that good news will be coming through soon.
All these figures for each group are not presumed to be complete. In fact, many names are in the process of being put on the records now. Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, will appreciate greatly the assistance of anyone who will report information about military service of any K.U. man or woman.
Graduate Is in Paris After Visiting Front
Waldo Bowman, graduate of the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1923, has just returned to Paris after spending two weeks at the front. In a letter to his mother, Mrs. C. O. Bowman, he said that he had seen Brig. Gen. Ewart Plank, Lawrence, who is in command of a unit at the front.
Mr. Bowman is stationed in Paris on business for the government and for the Engineering News Record, of which he is editor. He wrote that his office and hotel room were seldom heated to more than 45 degrees and that many people had no heat at all in their homes. He said that he wanted to see again the Rhine bridges and Cologne, the outside walls of which are still standing.
Students who have moved since registering last September or November must turn in new addresses to the registrar's office as soon as possible, L. C. Woodruff, registrar, declared.
Turn in New Address to Registrar
The office requests this because of constant calls that have been received there about students who cannot be located due to wrong addresses.

Cest NOT la Guerre — Although she was unaware of it, Mrs. P. H. Klinkenberg, Alpha Omicron P housemother, recently made some arrangements in keeping with these times of shortages. When a mysterious package came for Sally Jones (Since Yerkes has been added, and the Alpha O has quit school), Mrs. Klinkenberg set about to forward it, and, in doubt, insured it for $50. It was some time later that Sally wrote her sisters—the package contained three boxes of Kleenex.

We haven't heard the last report yet, but we presume someone thought of the pin before it was too late.
Inside Stuff—"we drifted apart —" goes the popular song, but according to the modern co-ed version the lyrics under-rate the circumstances. "Drifted, nothing." says he, "We were drafted apart."

Life's Little Embarrassments— Mary B. Todd Cavert, Gamma Phi, has been renewing old acquaintances. Last weck she ran into buddy-buddy Martin (Bud) Hatfield, and the two stopped near the steps of Snow to catch up on all the latest. Sub-consciously, Mary dug her toe into the dust near the sidewalk. When she struck a clod of dirt, still talking, she simply concentrated her efforts on removing it. It was several minutes before she turned to find the "clod" was the toe of a meek male standing behind her.
Graduate Wounded In France Dies
Maj. Henry F. Thorne, who was seriously wounded in France last December, died in an English hospital sometime in January, according to word received by the chemistry department.
Major Thorne received his bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering in 1936.
Watkins Memorial hospital was dedicated in 1932.

The Younger Generation—Heading Chi Omega's list on how to divert a dull Sunday is Cynthia Houch, 10-year-old sister of Chi O Sally Houch. For four hours straight she discussed everything from scouting to why the sun rises at 10 minutes after 7 these morning. The chapter was worn out by the time, when, ready to leave, she declared solemnly "So long, Slugs, see you in a slot machine."
Ah, Nature — It undoubtedly was true devotion that prompted the loyal Gamma Phi sister unselfishly to offer her glass of "ginger ale" to everyone within range. Disappointment followed as sisters reported, "too sour." It was Mary Ann McClure who finally tasted, liked, and drank the beverage—and suffered the consequences. We hear that stuff comes in tablet form, too, and tastes "just like candy."
Rodriguez to Speak Over Station KFKU
Mario F. Rodriguez, a graduate student in the Spanish department, will speak on "Pan-Americanism" over station KFKU at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 11.
His talk will be in celebration of Pan-American Day, which nationally will be observed on the following Saturday. Because of station schedules, it was necessary to broadcast his speech earlier.

Flag Designed For Today
Have you ever wondered what campus "Betsy Ross" designed the University of Kansas flag on the north tower of Fraser hall opposite the Stars and Strikes?
The blue and red emblem was born in the latter months of 1939. Eleanor Grider, then a freshman in the School of Fine Arts, submitted a design for a new flag to the art department, with 250 other entries made by students in the department of design
On November 23, 1939, the results of the contest were announced, and Miss Grider's flag was chosen to fly from the top of the oldest building on the present campus, Fraser hall. Her design was a blue field trimmed in red, with K.U. in red letters trimmed in white and placed in the center.
A picture of the flag waving from the highest peak of Mt. Oread appeared in the Graduate Magazine for February, 1940.
In the December 6, 1939, issue of the Daily Kansan appeared the following statement:
"The new flag was raised to a pole atop the north tower of Fraser hall this morning for the first time."
Sgt. Ralph E. Coldren, Leavenworth, has been awarded the Air Medal for his sustained operational flight over enemy territory, according to a dispatch from the 15th army air force in Italy.
The 23-year-old bombardier attended the University where he majored in journalism before enlisting in the air force in 1943. He served as managing editor of the Daily Kansan.
Miss Grider, who was a junior in the School of Fine Arts in 1942, is now married to Lt. Willard A. Burton, Jr., also a former student. She is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. R. L. Grider.

As the flame is to the moth, so is the University of Kansas to men and women from every corner of the United States—from New York to California, from Washington to Florida, from New Jersey to Arizona.
Besides having students enrolled at K. U. from every part of Kansas, any list of enrollees shows a high percentage of out-of-state attendance by members who must have a special reason for coming from states halfway across the country to go to college on Mt. Oread.
University Attracts Students From All Corners of the U. S. To Study at Parent's Alma Mater
Adelane's
When several of these adopted Jayhawkers were asked what made them decide to come to the University of Kansas, they gave a variety of answers. The principal deciding factor seemed to be "like father, like son," for the majority of students interviewed had fathers, mothers, or brothers who had either been graduated from K. U., or had attended school here previously.
Mary Alford, College sophomore from Sioux City, Iowa, said, "My family was originally from Kansas and my father went to school here, so I decided to go to K. U., too."
Betty Bacon, College sophomore from Lakewood, Ohio, gave the same reason, "Both of my parents were students here, and I came to K. U. because I liked the University better than I did the schools in Ohio."
Some Return to Native State
Jane Sweeney, sophomore in the School of Fine Arts, who is from Crawford, N. J., replied, "My father received both his bachelor's and master's degrees from K. U., and my brother was a student here, so all I ever heard about college centered around the University of Kansas—and I decided I wanted to attend school here also."
K. U. Is Parent's Alma Mater
Barbara Gibson, College freshman is from Oak Park, Ill., and she said, "Both my. parents went to school at K. U., so I am, too."
Beverly Waters, junior in the College, Dearborn, Mich., lived in North Dakota when she first started to K. U., but she came because, "I used to live in Kansas City so I knew the campus and liked the school better than any other university."
Marylouise Rowsey, College senior from Omaha, Nebr., answered, "I came to K. U. because the department of journalism was highly recommended. The school is just the
right size for practical experience on student publications, and all around work."
Follows in Father's Footsteps
Betty Jo McAninch, College junior from Mount Ayr, Iowa; and Barbara Barcroft, a College junior from Seattle, Wash., are both former Kansans who returned from other states to attend the University of Kansas.
Peggy Sue Biggs, junior in the College, is from Ponca, Okla., and she said, "My father attended the University of Kansas, and since we used to live in Kansas City, I wanted to come to school here."
Mary Louise Samson, College sophomore, Roswell, N. M., explained, "My brother went to school here and I liked it so well that I came to K. U., too."
Opinion shows that out-of-staters appreciate the advantages of the University of Kansas as much as the native Rock Chalkers do.
Sister Kenney, Nurse Demands Investigation
Minneapolis, (INS) — Sister Elizabeth Kenney, famed Australian nurse, today demanded an investigation as the only condition to which she will remain in this country. The nurse refers to a long-standing argument between various members of the medical profession as to the treatment of spastic paralysis, including poliomyelitis and other diseases.
Eldridge Article Is Printed
An article, "The Person and the Social Situation," by Seba Eldridge professor of sociology, appears in a recent issue of "Social Forces" in a sociological magazine.
Miss Scott Visits at Marysville Miss Grace Scott, a member of the Watkins Memorial hospital staff, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Sam Scott and their daughter, Barbara Jane, at Marysville, Kan.
Enrollment Increased a Thousand
Enrollment Increased a Tablesand
At the University of Illinois the enrolment shows an increase of more than a thousand since last fall, boosting the number of students to 5.815. This is unusual, as the K.U. enrollment has remained just about the same!

Four Fraternities Enter Ten Men In Golf Tourney
Four fraternities made the deadline for entries in the men's intramural golf tourney to be played on the Country club course, entering a total of ten men.
The light turnout can be partly accounted for by the weather, Ray Kanehl, assistant director of intramural athletics said this morning. "It was a poor weekend for qualifying," he explained. Sigma Nu, Deltau Tau Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Chi handed in their lists of entries yesterday.
Bob Holland and Bob Stewart will represent Sigma Nu, R. A. Miller, team manager indicated.

The Phi Psi entries are R. J. Atkinson, Bill Chestnut, Rudy Carl, Marshall Fryer, Eddie Brunk, and Jack Miller. Carl is the team manager.
Delta Tau's single entry is Bob R. Moore, and the only Sigma Chi qualifier is Bill McGarry.
No Rule Change In Basketball
"Speak no evil, hear no evil and see no evil" was the motto of the national basketball committee which meeting during the invitational basketball tournament in New York, said no major revisions would be made in the playing code for next season.
At the same time, the gambling cardinal was given a nice coat of white-wash for its Easter season when the National Association of basketball Coaches designated Harold G. (Ole) Olsen, of Ohio State chairman of the N.C.A.A tournament committee since 1939 as the coach who has made the greatest contribution to basketball in the past year and issued a statement on the coaches' attitude toward gambling.
"The coaches," hey said, "recognize and accept their responsibilities with respect to supervision of their layers. They also feel that games away from the college campuses have promoted wholesome interests and have contributed in general to a improvement of basketball."
James St. Clair, of Southern Meadstone, said the changes made last year had been favorably received because they had been studied and perimented with before adoption. Referees have said they do not use the 30-second substitution rule which cancels time out charged against a team when a substitute is not in. They likewise do not like the technical foul rule which assesses too severe a penalty, giving a person fouled a free throw and possession of the ball, too. They did the foul do not like the responsibility of "diagnosing" an injury and playing play when a played apparently is hurt.

The defeat of Bowling Green sets up De Paul to play the winner of tonight's N.Y.U.-Oklahoma. Aggie tomorrow, also in the Garden, for the mythical national championship.
Holding the victors scoreless for the first five minutes, Bowling Green scored eleven times before its power faded. The points thus garnered had to satisfy them through the first half as the slow-starting Chicagoans ran up their count to make the score read 30-22 at intermission.
While Mikan scored 34 points, the De Paul quintet held a tight defense against the Falcons, limiting their high count to 17, chalked up by Don Whitehead. Eight minutes from the end. Don Otten, Bowling Green's sparkplug went out on fouls and with him went the Falcon's strength.
Mikan scored a new individual 3-game standard of 120 points on 49 field goals and 22 free shots. He boosted De Paul to a team record for 3 nights, a total of 244 from 100 field goals and 44 free goals.
Track Meet Entries To Be in Tonight

R. R. Strait, of the athletic department, who coaches the University High Eagles said today that sports at the pint-sized but high-powered school will continue into the spring.
"As soon as the weather is warm enough and the ground is dry enough I'll have them out training for track," he said.
Sportorials
Strait, an instructor in the University, explained today why he is coaching the high school team. He has been in charge of the practice teaching program in the athletic department and formerly had students majoring in physical education to coach athletics at University High Last year George Dick, now a graduate student, handled the sports program for the Eagles.

Spring intramurals are all Greek so far. The basketball tournament last semester gained real talent as well as color from the Independent teams entered, and the hand ball and golf tourneys could have been made more interesting if Independents had entered.
He expects to enter the Eagles in the Interscholastic Track and Field meet scheduled here on April 21. His star will be Roger Olmstead who was one of the mainstays on the University High basketball team. Olmstead has been invited to accompany the Haskell track and field team to a meet at St. Joseph, Mo., April 20, but will probably decline in favor of the Interscholastic meet here.

Peace Meeting To Be Held Here Last Part of May
The "K.U. world peace conference," organized by the Student Religious council, will be extended to include all the organizations at the University wishing to participate, Dorothy Wynne, president of the conference committee, announced today.
"So much interest in the conference has been expressed by faculty members and students that the conference committee voted to invite all organized houses and other organized groups to take part," Miss Wynne said. The miniature conference will be held during the last week in May when the San Francisco conference will be in session. "It is hoped that this miniature conference will make the University students internationally minded." Miss Wynne explained.
All Organizations to be Included
The plan to include the organized houses was submitted to the house presidents yesterday by Rosalie Erwin, chairman of the Student Religious council. The houses will decide whether they will take an active part in the conference and report to the Students Religious council immediately. Information concerning the assigned countries will be sent to those houses deciding to participate. This information will include a large map of the country, a bibliography, and a number of books and pamphlets.

Germans Retreat North of Ruhr
(BULLETIN)
Reconnaisance pilots flying over the battle line between Bockholt and Dorset following the British breakthrough reported to the supreme headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower on the riotous German retreat.
Word of the smashing success already achieved by British Field Marshall Sir Bernard L. Montgomery and the 21st army group in the latest Rhine breakthrough east of the Wessel-Rees area came simultaneously with front-line reports describing crumbling resistance everywhere by German forces.
A German retreat north of the Ruhr valley in the wake of a violent British army offensive turned into a route today duplicating the disorganized Nazi military situation over increasingly wide areas of central Germany.
New York—(INS)—Capture of the Great Baltic port of Gdynia was announced today by Premier Marshall Joseph Stalin in a special order of the day.
The first army plunged 60 miles east of the Rhine and the third army reeled off from four to six miles.
United States ninth army operating south of the British made slow but steady gains. The United States seven army broke through south of the third army bridgehead advancing eastward to the Main river.
Seventh army forces now are 33 miles cast of the Rhine.
The Women's Glee club will make a trip to Topeka tomorrow to give five concerts with especially arranged programs under the direction of Irene Peabody. Don Cousins, V-12 junior, will accompany the 39 members as master of ceremonies.
The group will give the first of their five concerts for Topeka High school in a morning assembly. At noon they will sing, by special invitation, at the Rotary Father-Daughter luncheon given at the Jayhawker hotel, and in the afternoon they will give a performance for the Winter General hospital. In the evening two concerts will be given, one at the Topeka Air Base hospital and the other at the Base Service club.

representatives from organizadistricts based on proportional representation; (3) instead of 16 members being elected,26 members will be elected and the 10 representatives from organizations will be eliminated.
Plan 2- (1) Abolish organization representatives; (2) abolish present system of districting schools; (3) establish two districts on the basis on division on men and women; (4) the representation of the two sexes from each division shall tend toward a mean between proportional and equal representation.
To Discuss Plans Tuesday
Plan 3-(1) Elimination of representatives from organizations; (2) establishment of three divisions; Greeks, organized Independents, and unorganized Independents. Representatives on the All Student Council of the three divisions on basis of proportional representation and in turn within those three divisions representation between men and women.

Legislators Pass All School Bills
By stopping the clock and working into the wee hours of the morning the state legislature ended its session today with the passage of four school bills and a road bill.
The school bills included plans for reorganizing the grade schools and the high schools; reorganization of state school administration, and an emergency finance measure. Making possible such consolidation is the road bill which will provide good roads for children to travel to school at more central locations. Elimination of the small inefficient and unprofitable schools will be possible.
Through efforts of the interim committee the legislature was able to take great strides in school improvement and pass four bills where normally they would have passed one.
Some of the actions of the legislature of special interest to students on the campus are:
Expressed opposition to organization of a Missouri Valley authority.
Prohibited any preacher under 21 years of age performing a marriage ceremony.
Struck down Memorial day blue laws prohibiting baseball, racing, carnivals, and circus showings on that date.
Refused to collect taxes on co-operative organizations.
Failed to restore convention system for party nominations.
add to codify mensal law.
Refused to grant a new soldier

Refused to change the liquor laws. Declined to abolish capital punishment.
Refused to prohibit race discrimination in public dances.
Established the fourth Saturday in September as American Indian day.
Exempted men and women in military service from paying income tax on stipend received for military services.

Students Make Plans For Vacationless Holiday
Easter Society
Campus Activities To Be Dormant With Students Gone Over Weekend
Campus social activity will hit a new low for the semester this weekend, for, in spite of the fact that Easter vacation has been eliminated again this year, in keeping with the Navy program, nearly all students who live close enough to Lawrence are planning to go home for the weekend.
Enid, Okla., (ACP)—Dean Stephen J. England was recently recommended by the Department of Religious Education of the United Society to work on the advisory committee revising the American Standard version of the Bible.
An Easter vesper service, sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. for students and faculty members, at 4:30 p.m. in Fraser theater, will conclude the week's Easter activities. The program, under the direction of Patricia Creel, will present an Easter devotional service by Miss Creel's Y.M. C.A. dramatics commission, and will feature several numbers by the Women's glee club.
This committee consists of representatives of the major Protestant bodies and includes Dean Weigle, head of the committee and dean of the Yale Divinity school. Prominent in founding the committee was the late James Moffatt. Dean England is the only representative of the Disciples brotherhood. Revision of the Bible is under the sponsorship of the International Council of Religious Education.
Other Easter week highlights included a vesper program Sunday afternoon by the School of Fine Arts, and various services by church groups in Lawrence.
Dean England To Help Revise Bible Version
The duty of the committee is to revise the American Standard version in the light of recent manuscript discoveries and to modernize the diction. At present, England is working on the books of Genesis and Amos and a section of Psalms.
In making the revision, various portions of the Bible are assigned to scholars who revise the American translation, mimeograph copies and send then to the committee members. The committee, in turn, using all available source material, make suggestions and send back criticisms. Portions of the Bible may be returned a number of times to committee members before a consensus of agreed revision is reached, Dean England explained. The New Testament is now in the hands of the printer and the committee is working on the Old Testament. It is hoped that publication will be made by the end of this year.

Easter Rabbit Holds Preference Over Kansas Cottontail This Week
I am the Easter "Wabbitt." There are all kinds and shapes and sizes of "wabbits" in the world, but I am the most famous of all.
There is Bugs Bunny with his inevitable query, "What's up, Doc?," and there's Walt Disney's little Thumper. There's Peter Wabbit and Breer Wabbit. There's the little cottontail "wabbitb" of the woods and the angora "wabbitb." But everyone knows me and likes me the best. I am the Easter "Wabbitb."
How I came to be associated with the Easter celebration and all its many customs is a long story, dating back "furry many long ears ago." What a tale!
The rabbitt was the pagan emblem
Dying of eggs became a worldwide custom through the first dying by children in Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome, in which the eggs were painted red for joyousness of the festival and the blood shed on Mt. Calvary. In Christian society, the eating of eggs was forbidden during Lent, and it has since became traditional to search for and eat eggs on Easter Sunday.

Kansan Comments Hopes for Peace Overshadow April Fools' Pranks on Easter
For the seventeenth time since 1776, when this nation began official operations, Easter and April Fool's Day will come in together next Sunday.
White rabbits and gaily colored eggs will be around to delight freshly-scrubbed little boys and girls. But it is doubtful that practical jokers will have much place in the Easter setting, for the dawn of peace is near. Church and prayer will be uppermost in the hearts of people everywhere. Their thoughts will be centered on those men and women who are represented by stars in the windows. Next Sunday will be a day of remembrance and hope for all of us.
The past year has brought tragedy to many lives. The invasion in Europe followed by reverses in the Rhineland, blood-soaked Iwo Jima, and the Philippine campaign—all are memories colored with grief.
But Easter comes Sunday as a beacon of bright faith. With it comes the assurance of victory on all fronts to reward our confidence in the trying days of the past dark years. American troops are plunging deeper and deeper into German territory; their success encourages prophecies that the war in Europe will be over before another Easter, and even before another Christmas. Knockout blows against Japan are scattering her big hopes to the Nipponese winds. The 1945 Lenten season will be remembered as a period during which sacrifice brought victories.
This Easter, peace does not seem far away. There is no reason however, to clothe our thinking in rosy optimism. Many thorns must be removed before we can return to our pre-war happy-go lucky attitude.
Human suffering will not disappear with the armistice. The wounded must be cared for, and battle-worn countries must get to the work of rebuilding. The effect of this war cannot quickly be erased from the blackboard of history.
We will have much to think about as we go to church next Sunday.—E.A.B.

Because of the changeable spring weather, the V-12's on Purdue's campus had their uniform changed four times in one morning. Biggest shock came when a PE instructor told his class that the uniform of the day would be swim trunks' n paddle boards. Then there was the sailor who was caught wearing a white hat instead of the blue. Surprising the officer, he pulled his blue from a pocket—boasting that he was always prepared. Yes, the fellows suddenly became quick-change artists!

1945 Football Team To Use T-Formation
The Kansas football eleven will run some of its plays from a "T" formation this fall, head coach Henry Shenk announced this morning. The ruck out for spring football practice at the present time are experimenting with the grid sensation of 1944, and indications are that they will employ it in many types of plays. Inexperience Is Keynote
Although about half of the 35 men now out for football practice have never played the game before, Coach Shenk is highly pleased with fall prospects. Shenk hopes to built a team around lettermen Charlie Moffett, Gordon Reynolds, Dorwin Lamin, Don Stockdale, Cecil Langford, and other men from last year's squad who will still be on the campus.
While most of the practices up to the present time have been in the form of drills, some scrimmages have been held. Practice will be concluded in two weeks with an intrasquad game.
Eain Hampered '44 Practice
Spring practice last year began on March 27 and lasted about a month. Many of the men who were out for football then, however, were not on the Hill last fall when the season began. Weather conditions, which have improved considerably in the last few days, hampered practice last year to the extent that very little was accomplished. The rain which greeted practice this spring prevented any outdoor work for the first few days, and the present fine weather cannot last.

Aggies Triumph Over N.Y.U.
The Oklahoma Aggies are the National Collegiate A.A. champions by virtue of their 49-45 victory over New York university, Eastern title holders, last night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Bob Kurland, the Oklahomaans '7-foot center was too much for the New Yorkers to stop, as he tossed in 22 points and fed the ball to his team-mates for the remaining count.
Kurland shot 15 points in the first half and managed to keep scoring in spite of a desperate N.Y.U. rally in the last period. His terrific performance earned him the vote as the outstanding player of the tourney.
From the whistle, it was a close game, with the lead changing hands six times before the half when the Aggies got things under control and pulled ahead 26-21.
When the Violets threw a two-man guard around the tail Aggie center after the intermission, Cecil Hankins took over and led the Oklahoma onslaught by running his own count to 15 points for the game.
In the last five minutes New York tried to pull victory out of the fire just as they had done in beating Ohio State in the last two minutes of an overtime period for them to win the Eastern N.C.A.A. championship.
The Violet coach tried to stretch out the game in the last minutes by sending in a number of substitutions.
The Aggie victory sets them up to play De Paul of Chicago, winner of the national invitation, also in the Garden, tomorrow night for the mythical National Collegiate championship.
The De Paul-Aggie fight will be significant because De Paul dropped the Oklahomaans from the national invitation tourney last year by a 41-38 score in the semi-finals. Both Kurland and George Mikan, the De Paul long boy went out of that game on fouls.

Into our possession yesterday came a clipping from the "Denver Post" of last Wednesday containing a sports column written by Jack Carberry, the Post's nationally known veteran writer of every sort of sports event. The item strayed from us somehow, but we'll try to reproduce it as best we can. Carberry Comments on Phog
Mr. Carberry, long a supporter of the annual Denver A.A.U. tourney, was concerned with the visit of "Phog" Allen to his fair city. Phog, he claimed, said he had come to town to watch some good basketball. Friend Carberry, however, knew that couldn't be the case, since the K.U. cage coach was there on an early tourney day, when none of the fancy teams were yet in action. Allen Is Quoted
Our fellow writer pointed out that Coach Allen is an outspoken opponent of the A.A.U. tourney, and also repeated Phog's comment that the brackets looked as if they were padded with weak teams this year in order to draw a few more customers. The strange part of the story, however, is that Mr. Carberry, long a staunch backer of the amateur tourney, then proceeded to criticize the very fundamentals under which it operates. He pointed out that, though war time restrictions limited the field this spring, ordinarily no teams from either the East or the Southeast came to the tourney. Such unusual representation thus drips the fans of the opportunity of Viewing some of the better amateur teams in the nation. There'll Always Be Allens?

We Run Across An Article
By EARL BARNEY
TONITE and THURSDAY
Our esteemed journalist concluded his remarks with the comment that there will always be the Phog Allens, criticizing and ridiculing a thing until it has either improved or fallen by the wayside—and Mr. Carberry doesn't want the A.A.U. tourney to fall by the wayside.
Incidentally, the tourney itself is a Kansas City baby, having first
VARSITY
seen the light of day in the western Missouri metropolis. When the baby had grown to a size where it could take care of itself, it hopped across our state to the mile-high Colorado capital, where it has continued to this day. Kansas City has also been the father of the western N.C.A.A. finals, being the only city in which the tournament was able to make money for a long time. It was, incidentally, Dr. Allen who finally put the entire tournament on a paying basis.
What Will Denver Do?
But whether or not the Denver tourney can become a truly national tournament is a real problem. Denver is not the basketball capital that Kansas City seems to be, although large crowds do turn out to see their favorites in action. Denver, too, is not a centrally located city, and many an eastern team just couldn't see going back West to play in some tournament they had never heard of. So if Denver insists on keeping the A.A.U. enterprise within its territory, it will have to try some trick that hasn't been thought of yet.

Track Squad Trains For Oklahoma Meet
The University of Kansas track squad has been speeding up the tempo of its workouts in preparation for the outdoor meet April 16 with Oklahoma, Coach Ray Kanehl announced today. The Big Six outdoor event is scheduled to take place May 19 at Lincoln.
So far this season, the Crimson and Blue thinclads have turned in an average performance, winning one of three dual meets and salvaging 12 points in the Big Six indoor meet last March 3. They dropped meets to Nebraska and Missouri, while trouncing Oklahoma here on February 10.
Jim Sargent has been a steady performer in the high jump, while Norvall Jackson has placed regularly in the hurdles. Lynn Leigh, Dean Patterson, John Jackson, Kenneth Danneberg, Richard Hudson, Harvey Morrow, and John Sites have done most of the placing in the other events.

William R. Downs, C.B.S., Will Be First Newscaster to Reach Berlin; Graduate in Journalism from K.U.
William R. Downs, Jr., Columbia Broadcasting system news-caster, and graduate of the University in 1937, will be the first United States radio correspondent to reach Berlin.
Downs got this perilous privilege when the four big broadcasting systems drew lots, and the Central Broadcasting system came out with the lucky draw. At first CBS said it might be any one of their correspondents, but later definitely named Bill
Downs as the Jumper Will Drop From Plane
The plan is for him to drop down into the invaded city by parachute from a bomber during the first phase of the entry into Berlin. No other news correspondents will be allowed to drop by plane, or land by plane until Downs is in the city. The broadcast will probably take place from a German radio station, if there is still one in operation, and if not, he will broadcast from a 60,000-watt mobile transmitter, which is packed on an Army truck. The historic newscast will be carried by all the networks.
(continued to page three)
Bill Downs, 30, quiet, and bespectacled, has never yet jumped from a plane. He was formally with the United Press and was a night manager with the Denver UP soon after graduation. From there he was transferred to the New York UP and then on to the London branch in 1941.
Headquarters in Paris
He joined with the Columbia Broadcasting system in 1942 in London and is now in France. His headquarters are in Paris. He was one of the first in the Rhine area when the Allies broke through at Remogen. Now assigned to the Twenty-First Army Group, he has been plodding along with the land forces in western Europe since D-day.
Meyer
He majored in journalism here and was the managing editor of the Daily Kansas in the fall of 1936. He is well-remembered by the journalism faculty who describe him as an aggressive, red-hot newswound.
Handout Methods Threaten Freedom Of American Press
"Political propaganda must be destroyed as an instrumentality of government," he stated. "Public information should never be restricted to the handout methods and to paid articles by public servants in favored publications."
Danger to be a free press is becoming more imminent as the executive branch becomes more powerful and the legislative branch less important, H. A. "Hub" Meyer, president of the Kansas Press association, said last night.
Addressing 30 members and guests of the University Press club at the Colonial tearroom, he pointed out that the liberties and rights of the American people had been submerged under the power of bureaus, and if this power remained unchecked, the American system of checks and balances would be destroyed eventually.

Prize Winners, Club Members
VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT
A Jayhawkier Smile to match the new Jayhawk she holds in her hand is worn by Jeanne Gorbutt of Topeka. College freshman, on the occasion of her winning a $50.00 war bond for the best entry in a contest to choose an official emblem for the newly organized Jayhawk Flying club. Hers was the unanimous choice of the judges for the first award presented by the Ong Aircraft Corporation who provide flight instructors for the course.
Consisting of a fighting Jayhawk with extended wings and a sunflower in the background, the design was thought by judges to best exemplify the spirit of the University and the state in general. The second prize design of Austin Harmon and Victor Hogg was likewise appropriate.
RAF
"I'm only eight hours ahead of you," says Chancellor Deane W. Malott (right), "and I'm going to try to keep ahead." The occasion was the initiation of fifteen members to the newly organized Jayhawk Flying club. Members will learn to fly in one semester under a program approved by the Civil Aeronautics administration. Chancellor Malott has been taking flying lessons for several weeks. In the picture also are Don Ong (extreme left), and O. H. McMillan, flight instructors.
"Taking a chance" five years ago started "Hub" Meyer, now president of the Kansas Press association, in the newspaper business.
Contradicting the adage that "newspaper men are born and not made," Mr. Meyer considers college education a definite asset to rapid advancement in the newspaper field.
Introduction of women into the news room and advertising department have kept the Daily Reporter going, Mr. Meyer asserted. Before the war, very few women were employed in his office, but now they constitute the major part of his staff.
Meyer Believes College Education Asset to Rapid Advancement
(continued to page four)
He was nicknamed "Hub," Mr. Meyer disclosed in an interview today, because one of the football heroes of his day also bore that name.
At the present time, he is editor and publisher of the Independent Daily Reporter.
After prep school at Staunton Military academy, he was graduated from Washington university with a major in law. While working as assistant to the Secretary of the Interior and handling the press relations of that department, the newspaper bug bit him.
Allied Armies Reported Fighting Near Hanover Halfway to Berlin; Russians Cross Austrian Border
(BULLETIN)
Moscow, (INS)—Premier Marshal Joseph Stalin in an order of the day announced tonight that Soviet troops have reached the Austrian frontier.
(International News Service)
The greatest military sweep in history overwhelmed the major defenses of western Germany today as allied armies operating under an airtight news security blackout were reported surging toward Hannover, only 140miles from Berlin and other last ditch garrisons of the crumbling Reich.
With Society troops reported operating at the border of Austria, the possibility of an Allied-Russian junction in the interior of Germany mounted steadily.
K.U. Debaters Win Contest With Nebraska
Also scheduled for the tournament in Wichita today is an extemporaneous speaking contest on post war problems and an oratorical contest. The University will be represented by Orville Roberts and Jean Moore.
Accompanied by Prof. Buchler, three K. U. debate teams left for Wichita this morning, where they will meet debate teams from Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota, Iowa State university, Kansas State college, and Wichita university.
K. U's debate team, composed of Orville Roberts and Jean Moore, won the decision last night in the debate with the University of Nebraska, with their negative arguments on the question of compulsory military training. About 75 persons were present. The debate was a practice session in preparation for the Missouri Valley Forensic League tournament at Wichita University today, Prof. E. C. Buehler, coach, said.
Patricia Miller, College sophomore, presented the Biblical version of Easter, and Shirley Corlett, College freshman, gave a short talk on "What Easter Means to Me." She stressed the fact that while Easter means colored eggs and new bonnets, it also has a story to tell to people all over the world who are fighting to restore again to Easter its true meaning of peace, happiness, and prosperity.
Speeches and Music Combined in YWCA Easter Vespers
An Easter vesper service was presented by the Y. W. C. A. in Fraser theater yesterday afternoon. The program opened with a piano prelude played by Carolyn Nigg, College freshman, after which patricia Creel, chairman of the dramatics commission, read a poem, "I Heared the Agony of God." The Women's Glee club, under the direction of Miss Irene Peabody, sang "We Praise Thee O God," by Sataren.
The Glee club sang two more numbers, Bach's motet, "Jesu."

The more popular numbers on the program were Haydn's "Adagio in C minor," the current "Jamaican Rhumba" by Benjamin, and "Petes," by Debussy. The final offering "Artist's Life Waltz" by Strauss was so popularly received, the team gave "Cowboy Tune" as an encore. The most extended work on the program was Saint Saens' "Variations on a Theme" by Beethoven.
Enthusiasm for the performance was so great that applause stopped the program twice.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 29,1945
New Constitution Will Depend Upon Interest of Student Body
Students who were enrolled in the University in the spring of 1943 will remember the election on April 1 of that year in which they voted to adopt a new constitution for a unified student government. The Women's Self-Governing Association and the Men's Student Council joined to form the All-Student Council, completely changing the system of student government at the University. The new plan was adopted because the students believed that they could attain a government more completely representative of all students, more efficient because of centralized management, and more effective because of direct co-operation of both men and women.
Now another change to the constitution has been proposed. A political reorganization committee composed of students representative of most of the important factions on the campus, has drawn up three plans for a new election system that will be submitted to the student body for acceptance or rejection. All three plans call for elimination of the 10 council members who represent campus organizations. In other respects the plans differ.
Council members base their desire for changing the election system on the belief that students are dissatisfied with the present system and that it is possible for the entire student body to be more fairly represented.
When the constitution was changed in 1943, the majority of the very students for whom the plans were formulated, refused to vote or even take interest in the issues involved. Perhaps that is why proposals for changing the constitution are being made so soon—if the students in the spring of 1943 had been interested in their government organization and if more students had contributed their opinions and ideas concerning the issues involved, perhaps the undesirable features of the election system could have been discovered before it was approved. Actually only 522 students voted that spring to decide whether the constitution for a unicameral system of student government should be adopted. Exactly 303 of the total number of votes were women; only 217 men took the trouble to vote.
Kansas Boosts School Progress By New Laws
By familiarizing himself with the three proposed plans and their provisions and by discussing their advantages and disadvantages, the student will be able to help decide whether the present election system should be retained, or one of the three plans adopted. Only by such preliminary discussions will the student be able to vote intelligently for or against another change in the constitution.
The ASC seriously is striving to improve the election system to give every student fairer representation. Unless the entire student body enters into the discussions and carefully thinks out the merits and disadvantages of the three proposed plans, we again may fail to adopt a plan providing the fairest representation.
The Kansas senate has just stamped with approval the doom of the inadequate educational system which has been ours since sod house days. Reorganization of rural schools, high schools, and the state department of education is the objective of the three school bills passed in this session of the state legislature. While it may not be a complete solution for the problem, this action is at least a step in the right direction.
Why has Kansas education failed to keep up with the progress of the rest of the state? Why have we allowed our educational system to be ranked with only the deep South below us? Educators have torn their hair for years and far-seeing legislators have labored long to remedy the situation.
The rural school problem has been particularly distressing. Small districts, low standards, inadequate funds, short terms, low salaries, and teachers with limited training are characteristic. A schoolhouse in every other section of land was logical in 1880 when there were 50 or 60 youngsters of school age in every community. Today that number has dwindled to ten or six, and approximately two out of every seven rural schools are closed. The new bill provides for consolidation of small districts and, because consolidation and transportation go hand in hand, a new highway bill to improve roads also has been passed.
Will consolidation impair the solidarity of closely-knit rural communities? The school always has been the center of the community
activity. Something warm and close will be lost but a greater good will come with the increased opportunities for the younger generation. Better equipped schools and competent, well paid teachers will go far toward removing the obstacles which confront rural youth.
The high school reorganization bill will eliminate some small high schools and transport their students to larger schools. Taxation will be on a country-wide basis. Thousands of acres now untaxed for the support of any high school will come under the provision to help equalize the expense of education.
Striking directly at the roots of the trouble, the third bill concerns the reorganization of the state department of education. No longer may just anyone be nominated and elected to the office of state superintendent of public instruction. Qualifications have been fixed so high that only a limited number of
Rock Chalk Talk
By EDDY BRUNK
After all the various sorority initiatives on the Hill last week, there should be a lot of under-cover syncopation in the City this weekend. Syncapitation, according to Webster, is "an irregular movement from bar to bar."

These Sigma Chi's really have a line that sticks with 'em. Joe Bukaty, Chi, and Nancy Stephen, Kappa, were studying the stars one night about a month ago, when their eyes fell upon the bright lights of the Sunflower Ordnance works. Joe slyly sighed, "That's Kansas City, Nancy." Nancy murmured "Oh," in assent, taking it all in. Three weeks later she found out she had been led astray. That's okay, Nance, we all have our dense moments.
Olivia Garvey, D.G. initiate, is quite proud of her newest accomplishment. When congratulated upon receiving her pin, she will thank you cordially. Then it happens. She will display a D.G. bracelet on her wrist, a D.G. lapel pin on her coat, and a D.G. crest on a chain about her neck. And she claims she has numerous replacements at home.
***
Charlie Moffett, Delt, and Mike Nichols, Sigma Chi, have real inter-ratenity spirit. Both boys are courtin' Mary Lou Souhewy, Kappa, and in order to keep things on a fair and square basis, the boys and their respective frats serenaded Mary Lou together one night last week. That's real cooperation. At least, Mary Lou didn't have to get out of bed but once that night.

When summer time comes, and Olivia comes out garbed in a swimming suit, don't be surprised to see a D.G. anchor tattooed on her arm.
Nelle Claycomb, Pi Phi pledge and culinary expert, made the prize suggestion of the week in her foods class Wednesday. When asked what she would do if she had three quarts of milk too much, Nelle replied, "Give it to the cat."

Chubb to Speak at Fort Scott
The Kansas board made a survey to estimate the number of copies which could be sold weekly, and on this basis it was decided to discontinue the Review, Miss Sulzman said. She explained that evidently the students on the Hill do not write to former students and alumni but rather to friends who have not attended college here.
Prof. H. B. Chubb will speak before the Rotary club at Fort Scott tomorrow. "After Victory" will be the subject of his address. This discussion is in connection with the San Francisco conference which will meet in San Francisco, April 25.

Students at the University who plan to remain in the state after graduation will be affected either as parents or as teachers by the school acts of 1945. They should become familiar with them.

Tropical Gardens In Full Bloom South Of Main Campus
An experience of viewing the tropies without setting foot off the campus can be simulated through a visit to the tropical conservatory situated behind the Buildings and Grounds shops. Banana trees, a Bougainville vine loaded with red flowers, climbing to the roof of the glassed-in garden, and specimens of maranta, philodendron monstera fiscus, stag horn ferns, and a fine assortment of cactii and foliages, are growing there.
The sunshine, warmth of air, the singing and chattering of tropical birds, the scents of the many blooming flowers add to the effect of a southern clime. A pool filled with water plants of unusual size and fish are quite attractive.
Showers Threaten; Temperature Drops
Students turned to raincoats and their accessories today as clouds and a lowered temperature threatened to drive off another sunny spring day. In comparison with the reading yesterday at 9 a.m., the temperature dropped 23 degrees. The reading this morning at 9 o'clock was 51 degrees.

"These press agents, or so-called information experts, have been charged with playing up administration activities, glossing over errors and even concealing facts which might produce an undesirable reaction on the part of the people. Those employed in government positions look upon the press merely as a tool or instrument to serve the purposes of some of those in administration."

Entry blanks for the men's intramural track meet are made out and can be obtained at the office of Ray Kanehl, assistant intramurals director, he announced this morning.
Kurland, star of the Oklahoma A. & M. five, has been cited as the outstanding player in the recently completed N.C.A.A. play-offs, while Mikan stole the National Invitation show by scoring 120 points in three games. For both five the titles were their first major championships.
Both boys have plenty of support from their teammates, and tonight will undoubtedly see who has the more backing. Cecil Hankins has proved the Aggies' best operative, while either Whitey Kachan or Gene Stump of the De Paul team can hit consistently. Hankins got hot against N.Y.U. in the N.C.A.A. finals Tuesday night and scored 15 points for the Aggies while Kurland was boxed up in the third quarter.

What the news releases didn't carry concerning the Denver Ambrose - Bartlesville Phillips championship A.A.U. contest last Saturday night is this:
Sportorials
In the third quarter of the ball game, the Ambrose five held a 40-27 lead over the Oilers, but Jack McCracken, Denver star, had fouled three times. Instead of pulling McCracken and playing tight ball the rest of the way, the Jellymakers then tried to run up as large a score as they could. In the last quarter, however, McCracken fouled out, and with him went the Denver five's lead. Blowing 12 point lead in eight minutes is somewhat of an achievement, but the Jellymakers did it.
How Did It Happen?
By EARL BARNEY
Denver sports pages have spent the first part of this week trying to figure out just how their hometown team accomplished the feat. The easiest explanation seemed to be this. The Phillips' speed and elusiveness, not just on the first stringers but down to the last substitute, more than anything else caused the excessive fouling, which after all, is why the Jellymakers lost. Four Denver men, including McCracken, left the game via the four route. The Jelly-
Contest to Draw 18,000 Fans
Watkins, Kappa, and Pi Phi are the winners of the three divisions in table tennis, Miss Hoover announced today.
The contest, together with the Bowling Green-New York university game which preceded it, is expected to draw over 18,000 screaming fans. Six out of the seven tournament double-headers this season have drawn over 18,000 fans to the Garden.
Pi Phi, Kappa and Watkins Hall Win Table Tennis Games
hackers. Gamma Phi and Kappa won their games automatically last night when Locksley forfeited to Gamma Phi and Delta Gamma forfeited to Kappa.
Kappa Semi-finals will be played Monday at 4:30 between Watkins and Pi Phi, Miss Hoover said, and the finals will be played Wednesday at 4:30 between Kappa and the winner of the semi-finals.
Another instance of Denver folly is the following. With one and a half minutes remaining and still possessing a 1 point lead, Denver star, Ace Gruenig, elected to shoot a free throw when most of the spectators thought he should have taken it out of bounds. Gruenig missed the toss, giving the Phillips team the ball, and eventually, the winning bucket.
Incidentally, the A.A.U. still plays basketball under the old four foul ruling, which ousted many a player who would still be playing on a college floor.
To Score or Not to Score?
According to a late report from Boston, Negroes will be given equal opportunity with other races to play major league baseball in Boston this season. The city council of Boston has demanded equal opportunities for colored players, and threatened to oppose Sunday baseball unless the Negro was given a right to make the grade in the majors.

Of all days in the year, April Fools day enjoys a character of its own in that it, and it alone is consecrated to practical joking. The custom is for persons, usually the younger generation, though adults are often given to the temptation, to practice various impostures upon their unsuspecting neighbors.
For successful April fooling, it is necessary to have considerable degree of coolness and a straight face. You should also have the inside news on what particular aspect of everyday living the victim is most ready to be imposed upon.
The best time for April fooling is around breakfast time, when few have had occasion to remember what day it is or have had a warning from some early victim of pranksters.
An Ancient Custom
The wide prevalence of the practice indicates that it had a very early origin, and many explanations are offered, none in agreement, for the celebration. The origin of the tradition seems lost in the mists of antiquity, but the impression prevails that the custom has something to do with observance of the spring equinox. In India, for numberless centuries, the feast of Hule was ob-

Brazilian Novelist And Editor to Speak In Fraser Hall May 8
Erico Verissimo, Brazilian novelist and editor, will speak at Fraser theater at 4:30, May 8, according to Raymond Nichols, chairman of the University convocation and lecture committee.
Social Case Work Studied by Class
Mr. Verissimo is now a visiting professor at the University of California. Before coming to California, he was editorial director of a South American publishing house which began publication of Portuguese editions of well-known American authors such as Carl VanDorn and John Dewey.
Author of a Brazilian best seller,
"The Black Cat on the White Snow."
Mr. Verissimo spent a year in the
United States gathering material for
the book which is a series of
sketches on American life.
The Synagogue Council of America, representative religious body of American Jews, has dedicated the observance of Passover "to the liberation of all mankind from the yoke of slavery." Terming the Yalta agreement a "new declaration of independence and interdependence," Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein, council president, said, "The tyrants of our own time will be humbled and brought low as was Pharaoh of old." Saturday has been designated as Passover United Palestine Appeal Sabbath in a proclamation signed by leaders of the American rabbinate. On that day sermons will be devoted to the importance of Palestine in shaping a secure future for Jews convicted by war.
Passover packages will be distributed to Jewish service men to make conformance with Jewish customs possible. Wounded Jewish service men in overseas hospitals will receive Passover packages for the first time, Ralph E. Samuel, chairman of the city Army and Navy

Passover ceremonies, observed by Jews throughout the world, began at sundown Wednesday night and will continue for a week. The "feast of unleavened bread" will commemorate the deliverance of the Hebrews from Egyptian slavery.
Passover was ushered in with sundown services in synagogues and was followed in thousands of homes by the ceremony of retelling the dramatic tale of the Eodus. Final Passover holy days will occur this year on Wednesday and Thursday, on which days synagogue services will be held in the morning and on the preceding nights.

Allies Override German Resistance; Isolate Ruhr Industrial Valley; German Eastern Wall Crumbling
BULLETIN
Navy Veteran Heads V-12
Moscow—(INS)—Red army troops captured the bottled Baltic port of Danzig and reportedly occupied Kuestrin 35 miles east of Berlin today as the enemy's eastern front began to cave in all the way from its northern flank to the approaches to Vienna.
The operators complained it would cost them 180 million dollars a year if they agreed to her proposal.
Lewis and the United Mine Workers had agreed to her proposal that they drop their demand for 10-cent-a-ton royalty, and it was thought that this would pave the way for settlement because the operators had contended this point alone stood in the way. They however found other points on which to take issue.
Washington, (INS) — The war labor board today summoned representatives of the bituminous coal miners and operators to a public hearing tomorrow to show cause why the present contract which expires April 1 should not be extended.
Miss Perkins said she had proposed an extension of the present scale with new agreements to become retroactive.
After a conference of miners and operators last night Frances Perkins, secretary of labor, said that the operators had rejected her last-minute proposals which she earlier said the miners had accepted.

W. L.B. Orders Coal Hearing
Lieutenant Copping says it is hard to tell what the effects of V-12 training programs will have on post-war
Before joining the naval reserve in February, 1943, Lieutenant Copping served as high school principal in New York beginning in 1931. He was graduated in 1931 from New York State College for Teachers, Albany, with a bachelor of arts degree. He received his master of arts degree in 1935.
With almost 35,000 German prisoners taken in the last 24 hours alone, huge Allied armies smashing across the Reich flattened out sporadic nests of enemy resistance today, isolated the Ruhr valley, and plunged through to points little more than 175 miles from Berlin.
After joining the navy, Lieutenant Copping attended the Naval Indoctrination School, Fort Schuyler, Bronx, N. Y., and the Armed Guard Schools at Boston, Mass., and Little Creek, Va. He served at sea as an armed guard officer from July, 1943 until November, 1944, in the American theater and European, African, and Middle Eastern theaters.
Lt. Arnold B. Copping, USNR, who has been with the University Navy program since Nov. 10., 1944, is the new commander of the V-12 unit. Lieutenant Copping takes the place of Lt. Comdr. A. H. Bubl, who has been transferred to the east coast for further training.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 30,1945
Kansan Comments Selfish Interests Are at Base Of Political Evils in Elections
Students do not want student government on this campus. They want politics—policies played with loaded dice! Oh, yes, we have a two-party system—one party for half the houses on the Hill and the other party for the other half. Quite as logical as if everyone in New York had to vote the Republican ticket and everyone in California the Democratic.
Now we are faced with an immediate decision. Three plans have been presented for a new system of selecting representatives to All-Student council. We must choose or reject.
Is it the system which is at fault or are we faced with a more basic problem?
A house built of shoddy material will be a weak structure no matter what style of architecture is used. A student government built of selfish interests rather than reflective thought an dtrue concern will fail no matter what the method of election.
Is it heresy to suggest that differences of opinion might be cultivated within an organized house? Party leaders seem to think so. It is an inviolate tradition that every member of a group be poured through the same mold to register the same vote at the ballot box. Truly, democracy is at work!
If this is the way the students feel, if houses are placed above collective good, then best we sit in our precious houses and rot. Let the administration have complete control of student government. But pray God there will come a day when a new generation of students will arise who are not afraid to think! May there come men and women who will face the issue squarely and cultivate the true politics of individual rather than group choice.
Until that day comes we fail and student government is a cheap imitation. Will it be today or tomorrow or will we never see it? The decision is ours.-R.E.
Miss Snow's Book Views Early Kansas
Pictures on My Wall: A Limetime ♮
Pictures on My Wall: A Limetime in Kansas, a book of memoirs, by Florence L. Snow, was published the 15th of this month by the University of Kansas Press. This new book was reviewed recently by John E. Hankins, professor of English, over KFKU. Mr. Hankins edited Miss Snow's book, and it is through him that this review of her book is made possible.
Pictures on My Wall is divided into eight chapters, written in the form of personal letters to friends and relatives of Miss Snow. By concentrating on what will interest the addressee in each case, she succeeds in interesting the general reader. She has combined material of historical and social interest with the intimate charm of the personal letter.
The order of Miss Snow's chapters is roughly chronological; there is no attempt of a day-by-day or year-by-year record. Instead, she centers each chapter around a theme of general interest and thus gives us the high points in her life. In general, the chapters may be grouped as follows: chapters I and II concern her childhood years in Baldwin and Neosho Falls; the next two chapters concern her college life and the year immediately following; chapters V, VI, and VII concern her early maturity when she lived in Neosho Falls; and chapter VIII concerns the last 25 years, during which she has lived in Lawrence.
First Chapter Addressed to Brother
A. Chapter Addressed to Brother
The first chapter, addressed to Miss Snow's older brother, recalls the period of her earliest childhood, the youthful adventures and enjoyments common to children in small Kansas communities. There is the background of the "border troubles" during and after the Civil war, and contact with the Indians through her father, who was an Indian agent. The second chapter, perhaps the most entertaining in the entire book, concerns the half-forgotten visit of President Rutherford B. Hayes to Kansas in 1879. She tells how he came to visit Neohos Falls, then a town of 1,000 people.
Neesoh Falls, though not a county seat, had an excellent site for fair grounds and was chosen the location of the annual district fair. Miss
Snow's father was treasurer of the organization. In 1879, when it became known that President Hayes was planning a tour of the country, someone suggested that it would be nice to have the president of the United States as an added attraction at the Woodson County District fair He was invited, he accepted, and he came bringing with him Mrs. Hayes and General Sherman. The climax of the chapter comes when Miss Snow, then a hero-worshipping little girl, was kissed by General Sherman.
Neosho Falls Typical of Kansas
In chapter VII we see Neosoh Falls as a typical Kansas community. As a money-raising venture, the ladies of a local church decided to make a state quilt. The state of Kansas is obligingly shaped like a bed quilt except where the Missouri river slices off one corner. Raising money for the local Methodist church gives a good picture of small town religious activities.
The religious interest is also evident in Miss Snow's third chapter, the account of her college days at Baker university. She was caught up in this atmosphere of high idealism, and it has affected her later thinking. She was a classmate of Bishop W. A. Quayle. Her description of him as a youth has considerable historic importance.
The fourth chapter is an account of Miss Snow's trip to Washington, D.C., to visit her mother's brother, James Harlan, who had been first president of the University of Iowa, a member of Lincoln's cabinet, and

Mary, as equally obligingly, took it. Dean kept expecting her to give the pin back but he finally had to ask forgetful Mary for it. Said Dean, "I really enjoyed being pinned to you, but could I have it back now?"

Jim was instructed to wash the ladder as one of his first duties on arriving at boot camp. He gathered soap, water, and a brush, climbed out on the fire-escape, and began washing the ladder. A while later, the C.O. walked by and shouted "What in the h--- are you doing up there?" Mordy replied, "I was told to scrub the ladder, sir." The officer recommended that Jim buy a Blue Jackets manual, where he would find "ladder," navy definition, means stairs.

Ring Ching Swing: Pledges at the Arrow lodge presented a new version of the well-known Pi Phi song, Ring Ching Ching, at Monday night entertainment this week. They banged on their glasses vehemently, as chapter members do in ordinary rendition of the song, turned to Mrs. Alt who always holds her breath during the glass-banging, and remarked, "Just call us crystal- cracking mammas."
Literary historians will find the fifth and eighth chapters quite valuable. She gives material which cannot be found anywhere else, much of it could be discovered only by tedious investigation. How many people know, for instance, that W. H. Carruth's poem, "Each in His Own Tongue," with its famous lines, "Some call it evolution and others call it God," sprang from an exchange of remarks between the author and Chancellor Snow as they looked out over the Wakarusa valley?
Friendship With Eugene Hamilton Chapter VI is the most personal and perhaps the most sincerely written of them all. It recounts Miss Snow's long friendship with the English poet, Eugene Lee Hamilton.
Early in life Lee Hamilton had given up a promising diplomatic career when stricken with paralysis that confined him for many years to a wheel bed. There he composed and dictated three volumes of sonnets. Attracted by his poems and by a newspaper account of his life, she wrote to him in sympathy. When he regained his health, the English poet visited America and spent a fortnight at Neosho Falls with Miss Snow's family.
In physical appearance of binding, paper, and type the volume is super-

Aggies Whip De Paul, Take Title In $50,000 Red Cross Benefit
The Oklahoma Aggies, N.C.A.A. champions, defeated De Paul of Chicago, winners of the national invitation tournament, by a score of 52-44, in Madison Square Garden, New York, last night, taking possession of the mythical nation cage title in a benefit game that netted the Red Cross more than $50,000.
The anticipated race for scoring honors between the two giant centers, 7-foot Bob Kurland of the Agyies and De Paul's 6-foot, 9-inch George Mikan, failed to materialize. Mikan was sent off the court by five fouls after 14 minutes of play.
When the Blue Demons lost Mikan they converted to a defensive type of game and pinned down the Cowboys. They maintained the five-point lead gained early in the period and at half-time had an advantage of 26-21 over the victors.
Hold Chicagoans Scoreless
Coming back strong after intermission, the Aggies, led by Cecil Hankins, held the Chicagoans scoreless for five minutes while they pushed ahead 30-26.
Hankins Shoots 20 points
Kurland, who counted 10 points in the first half, spent the second period controlling rebounds and feeding from the pivot.
Hankins shot 20 points, setting the pace for the Cowboys who outplayed the Blue Demons through the final period. The Aggies reaped 16 points from 25 fouls called against De Paul, committing 16 themselves. Three De Paul regulars, Jack Allen, Gene Stump, and Whitey Kachan fouled out in the last five minutes.
The defeat of the Chicagoans gave Coach Iba his greatest victory in 18 years of coaching, and made up for the two-point loss to De Paul earlier in the year. ___

EASTER LILIES—
(continued from page one)
Most pot lilies come from Oregon, Washington or northern California. These are Croft lilies, originated by Department of Agriculture from Japanese and Bermuda seedlings.
In spite of their hothouse appearance, lilies are hardy creatures, will grow in gardens from Maine to the Guf — though "forced" florist bulbs seldom bloom again. Big headache of the trade is to gage time and heat to make the blooms come out just right for Easter.
Spanish Superstition Persists
When early Spaniards came to our West, they linked the wild Passion Flower to Easter. "See," the Fathers said. "The corona is like a crown of thorns. Here are the wounds, the nails, and ten colored parts for the faithful Disciples. This is the Passion Flower!" It was an omen of good, they said. Today Southerners who find an early blooming one say their luck will change—Pathfinder.
Sportorials

More gossip on the state basketball tournament. Although no state teams were selected at Emporia, two sports editors, V. A. Davis of the Emporia Gazette and Stu Dunbar of the Salina journal, who were on hand throughout the tourney, made the following selections.
following is Emporia Gazette: Class II—Lipoldt, Salina; Martin, Topeka; Anderson, Salina; Apitz, Topeka; Linville, Salina. Class A—Truby, Anthony; Copenhagen, Anthony; Menaso, Anothy; Clark, Eureka; Cather, Anthony. Class B—England, Halstead; J. Hess, Pretty Prairie; Turner, DetoSto; Jones, Pretty Prairie; Smalley, Halstead.

Zone Defense Predominates
Of the twelve teams in the finals, only two, Topeka and Pretty Prairie, used the man-to-man defense. Halstead, in winning its second success-
sive Class B title, ran its victory string to fifty-one consecutive games, which we believe to be the longest in the history of Kansas basketball. Irish Under Fire
Ned Irish, who has continually refused to state how much he earns for promoting basketball games at Madison Square Garden, may get a chance to appear before a grand jury sometime next week. Court officials are trying to recall the same grand jury before which Brooklyn college basketball players involved in a bribery deal testified last month. Although we don't suspect the highly successful Garden promoter of any connection with the sensational bribery exposes during the last few months, it seems that Eastern officials are taking no chances. If the figures finally divulged by Irish as being his Garden earnings didn't jibe with his income tax report, the promoter may be in for a little trouble, however.
Gunder Haegg, Swedish middle distance star who has made a complete flop of his latest visit to the U.S., will make his farewell indoor start at the Nigagara A.A.U. meet. Haegg will be running against Jimmy Rafferty, who has beaten him three times so far.

Wide Variety of Pranks
Early American settlers brought the customs to America. Pranks range from pinning a sign on an unknowing person saying "Kick Me"
In England, the custom began in the late 18th century, and in Scotland, the gullible party is called the April gowk, gowk being Scotch for cuckoo.
served by sending people on foolish grounds.
April fooling became customary in France after the adoption of the reformed calendar by Charles IX, 1564, making the year begin at Jan. 1. It had previously been common for people to exchange New Year's calls and gifts on April 1, under the old calendar, and many conservatives objected to the change. So wags accordingly began sending mock gifts and making calls of pretended ceremony on that day.

to telling one to call a certain number (unknown to him as the number of the zoo) and ask for Mr. Camel, who is said to have expressed the desire to talk with the victim. Mr. Fish at the aquarium and Mr. Lamb at the butcher shop are very popular personalities on April Fool's day, too. Grown-ups, though less destructive with their methods, are given to telling one another falsely that they have smut on their faces, holes in their sock, egg on their ties and so on.
April Fool's day, 1945, has a unique distinction in that it is also Easter Sunday, so when you get all dressed up to go to church, be careful, 'cause it's April Fool's day!

New Ruling Affects High School Game
A new rule in high school basketball intended to stop the "end of procession" of substitutes into closing moments of games was announced today by H. V. Porter, secretary of the National rules committee.

“Under the new rule,” Mr. Porte said, “it will be illegal for any play to re-enter the game if he is with drawn during the last four minute of play. The only exception would be in case of a tie, and for a tie gam each overtime period will be treate the same as the last four minutes.
Mr. Porter explained that the run was made because coaches have a habit of sending in substitutes al most everytime the whistle blow near the end of the game for the purpose of stretching the game.
