Local Pi Phi Chapter Says Mrs. Frank's Article Prejudiced; Writer Ousted From Organization
While there have been no special discussions at the local Pi Beta Phi chapter on the recent article by Mrs. Glen Frank, "Heartache on the Campus," which appeared in the April issue of Woman's Home Companion, the general attitude of alumnae and active members was that Mrs. Frank took a "very one-sided and prejudiced point of view."
Mrs. Frank, a Pi Beta Phi of 40 years standing and alumnae of the Missouri university chapter, was ousted from the organization by the Grand Council because of her article criticizing the American college sorority-fraternity system. Mrs. Frank spoke of her own experiences as a freshman at the University of Missouri and told of her own nervousness before she finally "made the grade." She also mentioned friends who were less fortunate, both of campus days and famous personalities who had confided to her that they still had "scars" from failure years before to make a sorority.
Greek Organizations Intolerant
who wished to join, than those that Mrs. Frank told of in her article." Agreed on Returning Servicemen
Mrs. Frank alleged racial and religious intolerance among Greek letter organizations, citing the failure of most organizations to accept Jewish students as members. It was pointed out, however, that a Jewish sorority member was queen of a recent PanHellenic ball on the M.J. campus.
Mrs. F, V. Warner, chairman of the Lawrence chapter advisory board, said she believed that Mrs. Frank based her article on anything but representative facts.
"It is foolish to say that sororites and fraternities should be stamped out," Mrs. Warner said. "There will always be clubs and organizations of some sort on any college campus, and students heartbroken over failure to get into a sorority would also be hurt at being refused admittance to any other club."
Mrs. Warner, who was a K.U. student from 1931 to 1933 agreed with Mrs. Frank on her reference to the attitude of servicemen returning to college after the war.
"Fraternities Must Stay"
"Clubs and cliques would form if Greek letter organizations were eliminated, and these probably would be more unfair and cruel to students
"Naturally the servicemen will feel fraternities and sororites are juvenile," she said. "They will think many other things are unimportant. But anyone who feels as Mrs. Frank does has no place in our organization or a similar one." MU.J. Phi's Quiet.
Pi Phi's at M.U. were inclined to refrain from comment on the action taken by the grand council.
"We didn't have anything to do with it," a chapter member said. "The grand council didn't have to get advice here."
"Mrs. Frank was a member more than 40 years ago," one member pointed out." and I'm sure things must have been far more primitive in those days."
Yanks Storm Okinawa Beach; Plug Ruhr Break
International News Service
The invincible strength of allied military might marched steadily along the road to Tokyo and Berlin today, storming over last-ditch defenses vital to protection of both enemy capitals.
On the Japanese island of Okinawa in the Ryukyu group only 360 miles of Japan itself, tens of thousands of Americans fanned out from an almost undefended bach-head toward the naval base and capital city of Naha. Enemy resistance continued surprisingly light. Two airfields and a landing strip were overrun by the Americans in the space of a few hours, and progress sall along the line was far ahead of schedule.
Front line dispatches said the marines and doughboys of the 24th army corps and the third marine amphibious corps which comprise the newly activated 10th army was threatening to drive a wedge across the eight-mile waste of the 60 mile-long island, only 325 miles from Japan.
The last official report of Adm. Chester W. Nimitz placed the invasion forces more than one third the way across the island last night. New Landings Reported
Meanwhile radio Tokyo declared that new American landings were (continued to page four)

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 2, 1945
Kansan Comments
Bright Future Is in Prospect For K.U. Culture
With the annual arrival of National Music week comes the realization that the University is doing all in its power to restore the cultural side of college life that prewar students knew.
When such acknowledged musical figures as Sigmond Romberg, Alec Tempelton, and Olin Downes, the music critic for the New York Times, feel it worthwhile to participate in the observance of Music week on a mid-western university campus, the aesthetic aspects of the University have an optimistic outlook again. This will be Templeton's second appearance at K.U., his performance before an audience of more than 5,000 persons in 1941 proving so popular that Fine Arts officials arranged for his return next Monday.
That same spring Lawrence Tibbett, currently of "Don't Fence Me In" fame, appeared for the annual festival and "made a hit" with students and townspeople alike. Ferde Grofe, noted American composer-conductor, was also featured on the Music week program several years ago when he directed the combined University band and orchestra in several of his own compositions, Albert Spaulding, famous violinist, and the San Carlo opera company, that presented "Carmen," were others who made the University outstanding for its spring concert course.
Perhaps it is due to the inspiration received from these great musicians that the University's own student music organizations, both vocal and instrumental, are again in the ascendancy after a temporary slack due to the first impact of the war. When a student organization is requested to travel to a city larger than Lawrence and there give five performances in one day, as the Women's Glee club did last week, certainly there is a bright outlook for the musical future of the University.
— J.F.
Volunteer Speakers To Explain Conference
Volunteers from the speech and drama department will meet in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 p.m. to make plans for conducting a speaking tour to all organized houses to explain the purpose and theme of the World Peace conference which will be held at the University under the sponsorship of the Student Religious council.
Delegates from organized houses will represent various countries at the conference, and will present the problems of that nation. At the meeting this afternoon the speech and drama volunteers will make up a schedule for the organization of the tour, and will consider the content of the talks.
Mine-Operator Contract Extended for Conciliations
Education Established in 1909
Washington — Extension of the mine-operator contract for one month while differences are being ironed out before the war labor board was agreed upon Sunday, and the threatened soft coal shut-down was averted. Conferences continued today.
The School of Education and the extension division of the University were established in 1909.
Coeds Fear Curfew
The coeds at the University of Pennsylvania recently rejected a "date curfew" imposed on them by the university. The curfew began on March 9 as a temporary arrangement until a permanent plan could be worked out and cut the deadline for dates on four to six nights a month and from 1:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.
The curfew was rescinded when representatives of the university's soroties and women's dormitories unanimously rejected the plan. The coeds declared that they feared for their poulity under the shorter dating hours.
Physical Therapy Scholarships Now Available
Scholarships for training in physical therapy under the $1,267,600 program of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are available immediately for classes commencing in June and July, Basil O'Connor president of the National Foundation announced.
As a result of the increasing use of physical therapy in the treatment of infantile paralysis and other diseases, and because of the acute shortage of trained personnel, the National Foundation is offering these scholarships for nine to twelve months' courses in approved schools of physical therapy. The scholarships will cover tuition and maintenance in accordance with the student's needs.
"There are opportunities at the present time for the full employment of 5,000 additional physical therapists throughout the nation." Mr. O'Connor said. "However, present day teaching facilities at approved schools can accommodate approximately only 1,000 students. Teaching facilities at these schools will be increased by additional teachers obtained through the National Foundation's teaching fellowships so that the training capacity of the schools can meet the full requirements of the profession."
Pointing out that there are only 2,500 qualified physical therapists in the United States, with more than half of them in the armed services, Mr. O'Connor said it would require several years to train the additional thousands of physical therapists needed.
Candidates for National Foundation scholarships must have two years of college, including biology and other basic sciences, or be graduates of accredited schools of nursing or physical education. Applications are made to The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, 120 Broadway, New York'5, N.Y.

Up at the break of dawn, Betty and some of her rudely-awakened friends journeyed from farmhouse to farmhouse, gathering chickens as they went. The only trouble, according to Betty, was that no one who passed the girls carrying 48 pounds of chicken in the

Temperatures May Drop Down Below Freezing Tonight
Severe damage to the fruit crop in Kansas is foreseen with the prediction that temperatures will be below freezing in this area tonight.
The mercury is expected to go as low as 20 degrees above zero in the west, and between 30 and 35 degrees in the northeast.
Now is the most critical time for early fruit. The period between April 1 and 14 is considered the dangerous time for frost, but on the average, freezing weather has not occurred after April 7. Fruit growers will commence to breathe easier by the end of this week should the forecasted frost not arrive tonight.

Crowds Overflow Lawrence Churches On Easter Sunday
Easter services were attended by church-filling crowds yesterday as congregations overflowed into aisles, balconies, and in some churches were turned away when even standing room was taken.

Eaves in Dyche Provide Nest For Owl Family
A nest of horned owls, living in exclusive quarters behind the columns under the northeast eaves of Dyche museum, have been in residence there for three weeks, Hallie Harris, Buildings and Grounds custodian, said this morning.
The birds have three new babies that have hatched recently. Workmen who were doing some carpenter work there sometime ago discovered the nest and had to move the eggs as it interfered with their work. They didn't think the mother owl would return to her nest after the eggs had been moved but three scraggly little owls now make the owl family complete.
These owls have been coming to Dyche museum to build their home every year for the past several years, Mr. Harris said.

Prep Track Meet Here April 21
Replies to invitations to the forty-first annual interscholastic track and field meet to be held Saturday, April 21, are expected sometime next week, Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association, announced this morning. Most of the high schools throughout the state prefer to test their teams before submitting a list of entrants. The Sterling Relays next Saturday will provide a test for some of the schools, Mr. Falkenstein commented, and will enable the schools to select their contestants before the deadline on April 15.
Last year in a heavy downpour, Wichita East won the class A title, while Clearwater headed the field of class B schools. Wichita North, Ottawa, and Topeka were other class A schools to finish near the top. Sterling, Haven, and Olathe School for the Deaf were the other top-ranking class B squads. Lawrence high school scored 21 points in the class A meet, while University high netter $6\frac{1}{2}$ counters.
It is too early in the season to state whether any records will be broken this year, although most of last year's stars have graduated. The heavy rain last spring kept the times slow and the distances short, preventing the contestants from shattering any records.

Bloch, Eastwood,and Mattern Combine Paintings in Exhibition
Here and There . . . Gunder Haegg, the fleet Swede, didn't get to run his farewell race after all Saturday night. Haegg was bumped from a plane on route from California to Buffalo and couldn't get connections to the New York track meet in time to perform . . . Babe Ruth, former king of the national pastime, has turned wrestling referee and is being flooded with offers from promoters from all over the nation. Ruth referred his first match back in 1920, just after he had been signed by the Yankees.
Professor Eastwood, who recently returned to the University after serving two and a half years in the photo-recommendsation and interpretation division of the Army Air forces, is showing 13 oil paintings. Among these are certain of his popular sand dune pictures, painted at Cape Cod, Mass., and one canvas entitled "Overdue," painted since his discharge from the army. His pictures have just been returned from exhibitions in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, an the Art association in Wichita.
Paintings by Albert Bloch, Raymond Eastwood, and Karl Mattern, professors of the department of drawing and painting at the University, are now on exhibit in the north and south galleries of Thayer museum.
In the past, each have had separate exhibitions and this is the first time that a combined show has been on exhibit. All of these men have won outstanding honors in competition with other painters in art shows throughout the country.
Professor Bloch is showing 15 pictures represented by such paintings as "The Frozen Wood," and "Blue Night." His paintings were exhibited previously in the Nelson Art Gal-
Professor Matter is exhibiting 15 pictures in all, including a number of new canvases not formerly shown, such as the portrait of Jan Chiapusso of the Fine Arts music faculty, and "The Birds Fly North," which was painted from memories of a river northwest of of Lawrence and Wild geese, he had seen and worked in with the combination of early morning.
Lt. Bert Shepard, amazing war veteran who has come back to play professional ball again after being crippled in a plane crash over Germany, has earned the admiration of every sport fan throughout the nation. Shepard has been giving demonstration workouts with both the Senators and the Yankees, and has shown up remarkably well. He fields bunts, pitches in batting practice and takes his cut at the plate with unusual skill and grace. Shepard has had no major league experience, although he played minor league ball with a White Sox farm. He lost his right leg just below the knee in the crash, and now wears an artificial limb. He was recently signed by the Senators, for whom he will coach, pitch, or pinch hit.

YANKS---leak-proof trap.
The hottest baseball feud of the current 1945 pre-season sessions, that between Leo 'the Lip' Durocher and his president, Branch Rickey, flashed into the open again last weekend after word that the Dodger manager was taking 'company' time to make radio broadcasts. The outspoken Brooklyn ball club president won out this time, however, Durocher stated later that he would give up his airways ambitions. Rickey commented that incidental stuff was all right, but baseball must still be the fiery manager's paramount interests.

Snook Asks Chancellor to Postpone Meeting With Council; Rescind Motion to Check Budget With Poll
Chancellor Deane W. Malott's visit to the All Student Council has been postponed at the request of Persis Snook, president, who told the chancellor that she felt it advisable for further business to be cleared up by the council before he came.
The motion to check the University budget, which controls salaries, against the teacher evaluation poll, made last week, was rescinded at the special meeting of the council last night. Dean Henry Werner reported to the council that a great deal of com-
he had been caused taking faculty members by the resolution to check salaries against popularity. Dean Werner said that some faculty members he interviewed felt that the resolution was all right, while others thought it was an administrative duty to check it against salaries, and still others felt that "it is none of the council's business."
Would Hate to See It Go to Board
Prof. Hilden Gibson, discussing the advisability of sending a copy of the evaluation of faculty members to the Board of Regents for consideration in setting up the budget, said, "There are many teachers who are not popular, but who are of great value to the University in other aspects such as research they conduct and the prestige connected with them. I would hate to see the poll go to the Board. It is extremely important, but it is not everything, in determining salaries of faculty members."
Dean Werner added that students' reaction to their instructors should be taken into account, but that it must not be considered the last word. "Roughly," said Dean Werner, "it should hold only about 30 per cent weight in final analysis." Free Heads Committee
Marge Free has been appointed head of the Freshman Week committee, with Elizabeth Baker, Eugenia Hepworth, and Don Cousins as members. The committee will draw up plans for a more detailed freshman orientation at the beginning of each year.
Fingers Are Brushes In Newly-Found Art Shown by Originator
Demonstrating the values of finger (continued to page four)
Miss Shaw discovered that there was a psychological reaction to finger painting when the children could express themselves in this individual way. Malajusted children were helped when they discovered that they could paint their troubles away and control them.
How she discovered the art of finger painting was revealed by Ruth Shaw, originator, in her talk to students of occupational therapy Thursday and students of design Friday.
Miss Shaw originated finger painting in a school for children in Florence, Italy. She was teaching at the school when a little Italian prince hurt his finger and asked to have medicine put on it. When she came back later in the day she found that the boy had smeared the medicine all over everything, and was having a wonderful time. This led to her discovery of finger painting, for the other children at the school wanted to smear things too.

Unlucky Break Sometimes Luck In Disguise
They say it happens just once in a lifetime, when Fate smiles on a person, instead of frowning.
Everett Stith, now makeup man and linetype operator for the Daily Kansan, was an air corps mechanic in the last war stationed at Coblenz, Germany, where the Yanks have returned. All his work was done on the ground, so finally a congenial pilot agreed to take him up for an airplane ride.
***
"Contact!" the flier shouted, and they were ready to bump down the runway. It would be a thrill for a man who had worked so long on flying machines, yet rarely flown.
But an interruption occurs. A captain bustles up to shout in the pilot's ear.
"Thought you were going to take me up for a ride."
Plans for Stunt Night Revive Memories of Early Musical Hits
The officer outranks both the pilot and Mr. Stith. What can a guy do?
Tentative plans for a forthcoming All-University Stunt Night, bring to mind the not too dim past when it was an annual occasion. The original amateur acts, Major Bowes' type of show was sponsored by the W.S.G.A. at the turn of the century, and it was in 1919 that the musical comedy idea was first hatched. The "Follies" they called it, and, according to old reviews, it "had the stuff."
"OK, captain, hop in. Sorry, Stith,
maybe some other day."
Something made him turn and watch the takeoff. With the motor purring, faster the plane sped, up if swooped, but--variety show which gave everyone on the campus, with the incination and an inkling of talent, to turn actor, dancer, or vocalist. "Spring Swing" proved to be such a success that it played for four nights in Fraser theater and later at the Granada theater downtown.
No sadder man was there in the United States Army that moment than Everett Stith, who nearly had tested his wings and flown.
"The Follies" gave way to today's annual carnival in 1936, but with characteristic enthusiasm, students took up the idea again in 1938, when they planned, wrote, staged and produced, "Spring Swing." It was a
There was an angry cough in the motor. Barely 50 feet in the air, the plane hesitated, went out of control, nose dived, and burrowed into the ground.
- * *
They say it happens just once in a lifetime.
Before he even reached the wreck, Mr. Stith knew the answer. The pilot was only scratched, but the passenger—the captain who had taken the mechanic's seat—was crushed to death.
Lewis' Workers Force Parley Recess
Washington—(INS)—The joint coal wage parley recessed today until 3 p.m. as reports reached the conference scene that John L. Lewis' soft-coal miners failed to heed his instructions to return to their jobs under a 30-day extension of the old contract. Reports circulated that the rate of absenteeism is running anywhere from 15 to 50 per cent.
Mr. Stith hasn't even been in a plane since.
Those recent meetings and plans for a show that would include all types of entertainment and represent a good cross section of University life, are signs of the revival of that outburst of energy seven years ago, which proceeded the production of "Spring Swing."

Dean Gilbert Ulmer
(International News Service)
Progress of all the American and British armies through the heart of Nazi Germany continued on all fronts today. In the American first and seventh sectors, resurging enemy fighting spirit precipitated some of the most bitter battles yet fought east of the Rhine.
Ulmer to Head Commencement Group As Chairman
Despite complete envelopment of the Ruhr valley and entrapments of German forces estimated as high as 100,000 men.
New Chairman
[Name]
Dean Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts, has been appointed new commencement chairman to replace Harold. G. Ingham, director of the extension division.
The commencement committee will meet today to discuss plans for the date of commencement. Don Alderson, vice-president and acting president of the graduating class, and Janet Sloan, secretary-treasurer of the graduating class will also attend the meeting.
Committee members include Harold G. Ingham, Margaret Anderson, Leonard Axe, Wealthy Babcock, Maude Elliott, Fred Ellsworth, E. Raymond Hall, Edna Hill, Robert McCloy, Raymond Nichols, Hermina Zipple, and E Brownne.
The committee has a difficult assignment this year in selecting the date of the commencement. Final examinations will not end until Saturday June 23. This, according to faculty members, does not give them time enough to certify grades so that the commencement can be held on Monday. Yet, the administration is aware that it will be difficult to keep parents another day beyond the convenient week-end trip.
As the allied armies battled toward Berlin Gen. Eisenhower declared that the Germans trapped in the Ruhr "were right for annihilation."
British sweeps through Naza holdout garrisons in Holland and American thrusts to points only 100 miles from Berlin, the enemy found strength to stage violent counter-attacks.
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's third army tanks were reported to be at least within 155 miles from Berlin and only 160 miles from a junction with the Soviet First Ukrainian army on the eastern front.
Field Marshal Montgomery's forces meanwhile were thrusting steadily into the heart of Germany and had cleared the town of Rheine. The British army division slammed into the outskirts of Osnabrueck, important German city north of Muenster.
Nazis Leaving Holland
Messages from Moscow told of increased Soviet pressure toward Vienna while Nazis reported troops of the third Ukrainian army only 15 miles from the Austrian capital. An official Russian communique described the siezure only $2^{2}_{2}$ miles from Bratislava, Slovak road lane and principle city. Slash at Oklima.
In the north, Gen. Miles C. Dempsey's British second army was revealed to be 100 miles or more east of the Rhine and sweeping northward in a giant arc to cut off Nazi forces reported retiring from Holland.
Enemy attacks against the first army presumably were launched somewhere near Eisenich southwest of Kassel, while those on the seventh army front must have been aimed at recently established bridgeheads across the Rhine near Karlsruhe. The first army occupied the German city of Kassel according to the German DNB.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 3, 1945
Kansan Comments
Closing Hours Lessen Import Of Curfew Issue
Now that our patriotic night club owners have retired behind their saluted consciences—now that the "Little Flower" has wilted and his blasphemers are silenced—we may well sit back, put our feet on the cuspidor, and take an objective look at the curfew.
The country as a whole has been bent, but surely not broken by this cruel blow. The activities of those who possess a great deal of leisure time have been curbed, of course. And that has led to a great deal of speculation on our national morals. One probably may say with a reasonable degree of surety that while the prevalence of some forms of night life has decreased, that of others has increased. Why, some people even predict a return to the days of the speakeasy. But, from amid all this abstract conjecture (on a very high plane, of course) comes the more or less individual clamour of those deprived of their pleasure.
Wherefore arises the tumultuous and vociferous shouting? We have a right to ask—we who are accustomed to our undearing good-nights at no later than 10:28. Oh, let it not be said that we could desire a better lot—merely, that we who lend joyous shouts to an emergency closing-hour extension find a little wonder in our hearts at the necessity of Fiorello's nightly hour of grace. We find no political, moral, nor hedonistic principles at stake—just a matter of fact.
Our question, then—"Who's abused?"

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
After reading "Kansas Comments," I had to chuckle. Why would you expect students to get interested in a plan to give themselves fairer representation in the ASC? Who wants to be represented in the biggest political fail on the Hill?
Can't you just see every student on the Hill waiting with anxiety for a chance to be represented in an organization that has all the power to decide where cars can be parked or where cigarettes can be smoked.
No one wants any part of a student government association that is controlled by one man, who can ignore anything the organization does, punish anybody any way he thinks fit, or regulate the lives of the students as he wishes.
If K.U. can get an ASC that can say something and do something, you will see the interest in both the elections and the organization grow
You said that the change was brought on the belief that students are dissatisfied with the present system of elections. It is not the elections, but the system of student government that they are dissatisfied with.
—Charles F. Smith
Museum Receives Montana Rabbits
Five rabbits from the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever laboratory were sent to the Natural History museum by Maj. William L. Jellison of the United States Public Health Service, Hamilton, Mont., Dr. E. R. Hall, director of the museum, announced.
They were sent to the museum as part of a cooperative study of certain animal-borne diseases being made by the staff of the laboratory in Montana and the staff at the museum.
These are key specimens, explained Dr. Hall, in that they establish the marginal occurrences of geographic range of the two kinds of rabbits.
Scientific identification of the rabbits is made here at the museum, and identification of diseases is made at the Spotted Fever laboratory.

Why Professors Get Gray
Dr. Frederick H. Krecker, professor of zoology at Ohio university, was explaining the principles of assimilation to one of his freshmen co-eds the other day.

But that same piece of steak eaten by a dog, he jointed out, develops into four legs and merely says "Woof!" The young thing just looked at him for a moment and then said gently, "Oh, come now, professor." (A. C. P.)

Football Rules Get Revision For College Play
The forward pass may originate anywhere behind the line of scrimage, the elbow block is illegal, and a second out-of-bounds kickoff goes into play on the kicking team's 40-yard线, it was decided by the national collegiate football rules committee yesterday.
Other rule changes adopted by the committee permit a substitute to report to any of the officials on the field, and enables the ball to be teed up one inch from the ground for kickoff.
First Meeting Since War
The revisions were made at the first meeting of the committee since shortly after the war began and included all members of the body except A. A. Stagg who was unable to get transportation from his home in Stockton, Calif., and "Fritz" Crisler of Michigan who is now on an army special service tour.
"The experimenting which the various conferences did last year," said Col. William Bingham, chairman of the committee, "was of great value to us in this session." Pass Rule Will Afford Game
Although the kickoff changes were the most unexpected of the revisions, the one likely to affect the game most spectacularly is the forward passing rule. By its provisions, the college game takes a lesson from professional football.
According to the new substitution rule, the game captain will not be able to reject the substitute, and the coach assumes all responsibility for the legality of the substitution.

The lure of the crowds has brought George (Babe) Ruth back into the spotlight again—this time as a referee in wrestling. Not that he needs the money, but that he wants to be where the crowds are is said to be Ruth's reason for joining the wrestling game.
By GEORGE RINEHART
"I like being with people and enjoy them, and I'll have an opportunity to see them as a wrestling referee. You know I'm no rookie in that league. I must have reefered at least 10 wrestling shows while I was in baseball," said Ruth.
The question is:
How will Babe see the crowd and keep his eyes on the wrestlers, or are such matches merely staged performances in which the grunt and groans increase according to the minute hand?
Too Much Is Just Too Much
Speaking of wrestling, it reminds the writer of a match back in the 'teens when a lumberjack and a policeman were matched in a rough midwestern town. The event in a big

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1945
42nd YEAR
NUMBER 124
V-12 Training Continued to Nov. 1; Number of Enrollees Unannounced; Navy R.O.T.C. Expansion Delayed
It is believed the burglary is being done by boys, probably of teen age because of the nature of the material taken.
The Navy will be on the campus from July 1 to November 1.
It does not take into account, however, the additional painting done to the statue of Uncle Jimmy Green in front of the law building which was done several nights ago in completion of the March 16 painting.
This was the announcement that came today from Washington regarding all college V-12 units and put at rest a rumor that navy training would end with this semester.
Notified of the extension of the training the Navy officials said they would be advised this month how many trainees they would have this summer. $ ^{4} $
The plan of establishing additional naval reserve officers training corps units which was previously scheduled for July 1, and which, it was hoped by many, would include this University, was postponed.
The twenty-seven R.O.T.C. units now operating in colleges and universities, the navy said, will not accommodate all students eligible on July 1 for transfer to the expanded naval R.O.T.C. program. These students, however, will be afforded necessary instruction in naval science and tactics so that their academic courses will not be affected.
That expanded program, the navy explained, was planned to permit transfer of V-12 officer candidates so that they could complete a full 8-term course in college.
The navy's announcement gave no reason for the decision to postpone establishmentof the additional naval R.O.T.C. units.
Continuation of the V-12 training means that the School of Engineering will continue throughout the summer giving training on a junior-

Prowlers Break Into Union and Gymnasium But Take Little Loot
Prowlers have broken into Robinson gymnasium and the Memorial Union building on several occasions during the last four weeks and obtained loot of various amounts.
The Union building was entered Saturday night and last night, whereas the gymnasium was entered a week ago Saturday night and the week before that.
Taken from the gymnasium were shoes, a new basketball, six bows, and 42 arrows. A pair of shoes was taken a week ago last Saturday night.
Three window screens were broken from the north side of the Memorial Union basement Saturday night. The prowlers failed to get into the book exchange and the Navy storage rooms because of iron bars, but did get into the kitchen where they found a supply of cakes. What they could not eat they scattered over the lawn.
Last night the prowlers tore the nailed screen from its frame, and, after entering the cafeteria, pried a refrigerator lock off. A careful check has failed to reveal the loss of anything.
Clothing Drive Sponsored By Y.W.C.A.
With 15,000 pounds of old clothing as their goal, members of the Y.W. C.A. world community service commission will sponsor the United National Clothing collection on the campus from April 15 to 21, Madelon McClure, chairman, said today.
This drive will be part of a national effort to relieve the 125 million people in liberated nations of Europe and in the Far East who are in need of clothing. There will also be a city-wide collection, but the campus drive to collect five pounds of clothing from every student and faculty member will be carried out separately.
Good substantial used clothing, for both winter and summer wear, is needed. Miss McClure said. Although the clothing need not be in perfect condition, it must be useful to the people who receive it. All garments should be clean but not necessarily pressed. This will be the only nation-wide clothing collection for overseas relief in the spring of 1945.
Plans for collecting the garments and places for depositing donations have not been definitely decided. A chairman will be appointed at each organized house to aid in the gathering of material. Y.W.C.A. chairmen conducting the drive are Rose Nell Curtis, College freshman; Dorothea Thomas, College freshman; and Madelon McClure, College sophomore.
Council Votes 5-1 to Change Election
The Kansan hadn't developed into a daily, being printed only on Tuesday and Friday. The press room was then in the basement of south Fraser hall where the Home Economics department now is found. Mr. Pennock and his foreman were the only regular helpers with two students working part time about the shop.
Mr. Quigley's short talk was concluded by a $100 bond donation by Pi Beta Phi, the second bond to be presented by a campus organization. Delta Gamma were the initial donors with a $100 bond gift in January.
Quigley Appeals To Campus Groups To Buy Debt Bonds
For 34 years Guy Pennock has been in the midst of the bustle of the University Press. Now as foreman of the press he recalls the date April 11, 1907, when he first began work as operator of the only linotype in the shop.
"When I began this campaign," said Mr. Quigley, "I set for myself an arbitrary goal of a bond a day, and let me tell you that I could sit still from now until next Oct. 23, if I wanted to—that's how far ahead we are."
Eugenia Hepworth was appointed head of the Stadium Drive committee, to be assisted by Kenneth Danneberg.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, met with the All Student Council last night to discuss a campus drive to erase the stadium debt.

"We now have enough cash on hand," he announced, "to pay off 40 percent of the total debt."
Mr. Quigley said that in former years, they had paid $5,000 annually on the debt, but that the interest on the debt exceeded this amount yearly.
Mr. Quigley said that he hoped to get a $100 bond or check from each of the 30 organizations on the campus, and that he would leave it to the council as to how to achieve this goal.

B-29's Hit Jap Aircraft Works on Home Islands

Washington, (INS)—The War department reported today that the latest three-pronged B-29 attack on Japan yesterday left smoke columns rising 7,000 feet in the air over the Tachikawa aircraft works, west of Tokyo.
"During the last war the staff was almost entirely women," he said. "Lucille McNaughton was advertising manager. Girls worked as press feeders, linotype operators and printers."
In comparing earlier Kansans with those today, Mr. Pennock said that the paper was larger than it is now, printed on a drum cylinder Scott. He added that the students seemed more anxious to send down copy in the earlier . . s, probably because it was a larger paper.

No Definite Plan Formulated Yet As Members Wrangle Over Policy
Student opinion and constructive comment ran rampant last night at the open meeting of the All-Student council, where students assembled to present ideas for a new election system.
Everyone present, Independents, Greeks, council members, navy students, seemed to have something to say. The discussion was orderly, but at adjournment time, no decision had been reached as to which plan, if any, students favored. Besides the three plans outlines by the council elections committee, other

Commencement plans will be discussed at the first meeting of the senior class at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon, in the third floor auditorium of Frank Strong hall, according to Don Alderson, class president.
Seniors to Discuss Commencement
The student-faculty commencemet committee decided at a Tuesday afternoon meeting that several issues should be considered by the entire class before definite dates and plans are made.
"We are hoping that all class members will be present," Alderson said.
Friday, the committee will meet to fix the commencement date. Traditionally, commencement activities are held for two days, beginning with baccalaureate services Sunday night, and erding with commencement on Monday, but as a war-time measure, it has been suggested that the exercises be held entirely on one day. The class will consider and discuss the two plans.
Present Plan May Be Advisable
variations or modifications of these plans were presented by student participants.
A vote was taken of those present to determine whether or not students at large felt that the present election system needed changing, with the results approximately five-to-one in favor of change. Present Plan May 1986
Persis Snook, president, and Don Cousins, navy trainee, reminded students, that regardless of the seemingly great need for a new system, the plan chosen must be given a great deal of thought and consideration.
Would Have I.S.A. Represent
"It would be better to keep the present plan for the spring election and change next year," said Census, "than to choose a poor plan and have it completely fail."
Mary Breed, College sophomore, suggested a system wherein council members would be elected from each organized house, and unorganized independents would be represented through the I.S.A. Miss Breed stated that this method would be real representation, because each representative would know exactly whom he was representing and would be in a position to understand more fully the problems of those he represented. Joan Burch, chairman of the A.S.C.'s elections committee, said that the plan suggested by Miss Breed had been discussed in the committee meetings, but that the committee

Kansan Comments Yellow Menace at K.U. Shows Need for Another Dandelion Day
Although recent cold weather has retarded them, dandelions will dot the campus with the first return of a warm sunny day, reminding us that the time is ripe for another Dandelion day.
Dandelion day.
Plans to wage a war against the pesky yellow weeds were not completed by the Jay James until May 10, last spring—too late to prevent seeds from scattering. In fact, dandelion diggers at last year's festival had such a good time that they concentrated little effort in competing with the 10-15 ton harvest of the first Dandelion day of 1941.
With the support of the Men's Student Council, two men students organized the one-day holiday for the entire student body. On the morning of April 23, 1941, 3,400 students accompanied by the faculty divided into 75 organized squads and by noon had eradicated approximately 30,000 pounds of dandelions. An impromptu carnival was held in the afternoon, and a "Dandelion dance" in the evening climaxed the celebration. At the carnival the co-captains of the team turning in the most dandelions were crowned king and queen of the day, and ice cream donated by a Lawrence cremery was the prize for all the members of the winning team.
When the first Dandelion day was
being organized, it was compared to a "razing day" held in 1920 when all University students combined their efforts to raze the old frame football stadium. It was estimated that $10,000 worth of work was done by the students that day. Pharmacy students who aided in planning the first Dandelion day in 1941 advocated that the festival be just as valuable as the "razing day" of 1920, for they revealed that for 21 years members of their school had been digging dandelions to make a drug preparation which made the dandelion worth $1.82 a pound. Taraxacum, derived from the dandelion root, is an officially approved drug which serves as a blood purifier and general tonic.
Only faculty members and their families observed Dandelion day in 1942, and no special holiday for the event was granted to the students. The event was entirely forgotten in 1943, but in 1944 it was observed with some of the old enthusiasm.
In these times of rationing that prevent picnics and parties popular in pre-war days, a Dandelion day would be most welcome. An all-University get-together to revive and strengthen a struggling tradition is in order. The time for a campus D-day draws near.
Physical Love and Attraction "Not Enough for Marriage; Need Close Church Relationship" ---Dr. Porter
"I don't know how anyone can say, 'here spirit begins and matter ends'," declared Dr. Elliott Porter, pastor of the Memorial Prebyterian church at the fifth marriage lecture, "Spiritual Aspects of Marriage," at Miami University.
Defining love as a fusion of romance plus high companionship, Dr. Porter emphasized the fact that physical love and attraction is not enough, that the possibility of the continual excitement of falling in love defies the laws of human nature.
"Statistics reveal that there is a greater chance for a successful marriage where both parties attend church regularly, and have a common relationship to some church home," asserted Dr. Porter.
He pointed out, however, that in many homes God is called upon by parents only when a child or some loved-one is dead or dying, and although many couples conscientiously go to church every Sunday many derive no spiritual comfort from the sermons.
Dr. Porter accented the need for an intelligent and loyal interest in the church, where couples may stand together in different ways. "Love should shine in different colors," he emphasized. "Besides being a mother, mate, daughter, you should be a competitor to your husband."
Accustomed to counselling the prospective bride and groom, Dr. Porter freely offered marital advice to an attentive audience. He stated that "before one gets married, he should have lived a figurative 1000 lives, some wretched, chaste, faithful marriages, some celibate and solitary years."
"Those who marry just to be happy," he continued, "will have incidental and shallow partnerships while those who strive to achieve compatibility with some tears and heartbreak will enjoy successful
marriages." Scoffing at the "carrots" who claim they never have had a cross word in 50 years of married life, he predicted, to quote Lippman, "love and nothing else is very soon nothing else."
Dr. Forter sees two stages in a man's and woman's partnership, the falling in love stage and the adaptation stage. The latter, he believes, is the more demanding, when the two must work their problems out together, but also is the one with the richer and more intriguing experience.
Strongly vetoing secret marriages, Dr. Porter urged couples to set up housekeeping as soon as possible, even though it's only one room over the butcher shop. There is no sense in isolating love from the business of life," he declared.
He warned the female audience against tucking themselves away in a love nest, reiterating that you can't perpetuate the excitement of falling in love. Voicing his own religious views, Dr. Porter concluded by asserting his conviction that "If elders have a higher loyalty to God by which they are bound, the basis for a successful family life is well-assured."—ACP.

Ninth Army Threatens Hannover
VIENNA STORMED - - -
Shaef's reconnaissance pilots have spotted indications of an enemy retirement from North Sea ports, while the U.S. ninth army is seriously threatening the great German industrial city of Hannover. Troops from the Ninth kept a German army of 100,000 hopelessly trapped in the eastern sector of the Ruhr valley pocket, while 75th division men uncorked a new attack six miles northeast of Dortmund.
Hamburg was reported in progress, while from Paris came word that the French government, with General Charles de Gaulle presiding, was informed that French first army troops had captured teh important southern German city of Karlruhe.
A dispatch from 21st Army group headquarters disclosed that the British 11th armored division had scored a new 8-mile advance to cross the Weser canal north of Osnabruck.

Men With Education Become Officers
Through research work done in the Army, it is shown that education wins rank. A high school is practically essential to advancement in present-day American life, whether it is civilian or military.
A sample group of 163 service men was selected for study from a typical midwestern county seat of 6,000.
One man won a commission with less than eighth-grade training through his inherent capabilities. Though an unusual case now, it would have been a common occurrence a few generations ago.
There were 78 per cent of the men who had an eighth grade education that stayed at the private-corporal level. Of the men who were high school graduates, 21 per cent of them advanced to officer rank and 55 per cent stayed at the private-corporal level. The figures show that for the men with some college training 53 per cent advanced to officer rank, while only 27 per cent remained in the lower ranks.

Jade was known in China as the "lucky stone" and the Chinese sages have always revered it above all other stones. They believed that jade was a protection against misfortune, considering it an omen of good luck, slow and sure.
Confucius compared jade to virtue, saying that it is warm, liquid, strong, and firm like politeness, and like truth it gives out a bright rainbow.

Denver—(ACP)—Peacetime military conscription was favored by a scant majority of University of Denver students in a sample ballot conducted by The Clarion poll staff this week.
Denver U. Favors Postwar Conscription
The poll results showed that more women voted "yes" than did men. Most of the men gave negative opinions and stated that they felt such policy would not be sufficient to prevent wars. Those men in favor of this proposal stated that it would serve to build up the coming generation physically.
Of the 300 students contacted at the School of Commerce and on campus, 54 per cent voted in favor of the proposed plan while 44 per cent voted the plan down. Two per cent were undecided in the matter.
Other reasons given for peacetime military conscription were that it would prevent future wars, promote national health, and maintain national safety.
"Training such as this would be a means of being safe instead of sorry," one girl answered, while another wrote, "I am not so optimistic that I believe in permanent peace."
"A large trained military organization is not conducive to peace," a Commercial claimed. While most of the voters wanted some type of peace-time conscription, 51 per cent of students voting believe that no action on the plan should be taken until after the war. Only 37 per cent want immediate action on the plan, and 12 per cent were undecided. This would indicate that even those
Those opposing the issue for the most part agreed that a peacetime drafted army would only lead to more wars.

Plan three, eliminating organization representatives, sets up three divisions, Greeks, organized Independents, and unorganized Independents. These divisions in turn will be divided into divisions of men and women, each to be represented proportionately.

All Games May Be Transferred From Neutral to Home Gridirons
Washington—A general plan for "localized" travel conservation by colleges was submitted to the Office of Defense transportation yesterday by Asa Bushnell, spokesman for eastern schools.
Embellie will confer with J. Monroe Johnson, ODT director, next week on the plan "to make it jibe with what baseball is doing," the ODT said. Organized baseball has voluntarily reduced its travel an estimated 25 per cent.
One of the principal effects of curtailment of travel by colleges will be the transfer of games in all sports from neutral to home fields. As an example, a Mississippi State-Tulane football game scheduled for Memphis, a neutral field, probably will be switched to New Orleans, Tulane's home gridiron. The ODT pointed out that the possibility of its localized policy remaining in effect into the football season depends upon the war with Japan continuing that long.
There was no comment from the University athletic office this morning on the report, which, if it should go into effect, might cause the transfer of two of K.U.'s games next fall. The Missouri game would be moved from Kansas City to Columbia, while the T.C.U. game would either go to Ft. Worth or come to Lawrence, depending upon the decision of the officials of the two schools.
Intramural Dates, Point System Set
The dates for the men's intramural tack meet, and the system of scoring were decided last night a meeting of the managers committee. Ray Kanehl assistant intramural director, announced this morning.
The preliminaries are scheduled to be run off April 16, and the finals April 18, except for the high jump, pole vault, and discus which will be finished on the first date.
In track events requiring preliminaries, one point will be awarded each man to reach the finals. In the 440-yard dash and the half mile run, the first five men to cross the finish line will get one point each, and in the relay events, the first five teams across will be given one point per team.

Fall Squad Looks Promising to Shenk
Yesterday was the first day of the current spring football practice session that the 1945 candidates for the national fall sport were forced inside, head coach Henry Shenk stated this morning. A chalk talk was held last evening instead, and the players ran a few laps around the indoor track.
The cold weather today will not hinder practice this evening, Coach Shenk added. Workouts will be held as usual, including scrimmages and drills.
Promising candidates for the fall squad include Gordon Reynolds, end; Charles Moffett, back; Cecil Langford, center; Dud Day, guard; Dorwin Lamkin, tackle; Mike Kay, guard; Don Stockdale, guard; Milford Collins, Charles Conroy, Dan Westernman, James Sanders, back; and Bob Burch, tackle.

Staff Increase
The University Press' staff has increased to five regular employees and 20 students helping around the shop. Two other members, J. E. Barnes, pressman, and E. G. Stith, linotype operator, have been with the press for many years. Mr. Barnes began work in 1919, and in 1922, Mr. Stith started working for the University Press.

Major league baseball fans will see ten or more sets of brothers in action when the curtain rings up soon. Never before in the history of the national game have so many fraternal sets cavorted on big league diamonds.
The Brother Act
By EARL BARNEY
The Hammer brothers; Garvin and Granville, play ball for the Phillies; Elmer and John Riddle form a battery for the Reds; while Mort and Walker Cooper have been famous as the Cards brother combination. Only the Giants, Cubs, Indians, Senators, and White Sox fail to possess at least one of the seven sets of brothers remaining.
The Waners Still Play
Going on down the list we would find Gus Mancuso of the Phillies and his brother Frank of the Browns; Ray Haworth with the Dodgers and Myron with the Browns; and the Walkers, Hub, recently discharged by the Army, rejoins his brother after an interval of twelve years when both were the property of the Bengals.
Infield Jack Tobin, outfielder Lloyd Christopher, and catcher Bob Garback of the Boston Red Sox all compete against brothers who are well established in the major league world. Jack is the younger brother of pitcher Jim "no-hit" Tobin of the Braves, Lloyd is younger than brother Rus Christopher, pitcher for the Athletics, while Bob is the older brother of Mike Garback, Yankee first string catcher. Perhaps one of the most famous brother combinations of all time, Paul and Lloyd Waner, are still in the big time. Paul is now on the roster of the Yankees, while Little Poison is serving with the Bucs.
Other great combinations have been dispersed by the war. Joe Dimmagga, the great Yankee outfielder, and Don of the Red Sox are in the service, leaving brother Vince of the Phillies to carry on. Dixie Walker of the Dodgers and his brother Harry of the Cardinals were separated when Harry joined the Navy. Ed Sauer joined the Cubs shortly after his brother Hank enlisted in the Navy. Both Dickeys, Bill of the Yanks and Skeets of the White Sox, are also in the Navy.
Other Brother Sets
No compilation of brother combinations can ever be complete, however, without mentioning the famous "Me and Paul" combo of other days.

With such widespread use of the T formation, it was inevitable that the elbow block should come into use. Quigley pointed out. The basic blocking technique in the T offense is the body check, and the elbow block became a crime with its abuse, he explained.
"One of the most exciting plays in football is the runback of a kickoff, even if it carries only a few yards," he remarked. Ta-Formation
"The change in the forward pass rule should have been made years ago. It means that now the forward pass will carry a little glamour of surprise offense."
The Jayhawk athletic chief also expressed his approval of the new ruling on out-of-bounds kickoffs. The original rule was intended to penalize the offensive team for kicking out of bounds, but it had the opposite effect, Quigley explained. The kicking team often aimed for the sidelines to prevent a surprise play on the runback. The new penalty puts teeth into the rule," he said.

Football has taken up the slack it lost during three years of play with no meetings of the rules committee, commented Ernest C. Quigley this morning, speaking of the changes announced by the national committee.

"The rule enabling substitutes to report to any official on the field will add to the continuity of play." "Quig" declared.

The game will be speeded up by this change, because precious minutes are often wasted while a substitute passes by the umpire and the field judge to find the referee.

Jack McShane defeated Bob Bayles, 21-1,21-1, in a first round singles game and trounced Owen Peck, 21-2, 21-7, in his second round encounter. John McGucken won over Jerry Wildden, Sigma Chi, 21-8, 21-2.
The other change he proposes that the penalty for an illegal forward pass be five yards from the spot of the play instead of from the line of scrimmage.
COMING
Quig had two suggestions for future rule changes, innovations that he believes should be in the game now. One is to have the ball brought in 20 yards instead of 15 when a play is run out of bounds. Such a change would give more operating space for the players but has met with opposition from coaches. Other Change Proposed

Russia Breaks With Japan UNIVERSITY Daily Kansas Jap Cabinet Quits Owing to Dispute
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1945
42nd YEAR
Yanks 136 Miles from Berlin; Showdown on Okinawa is Near
(International News Service)
The day's grist of news from all battle fronts was a triumph of Allied arms against a faltering army.
On every one of the seven separate fronts in Western Europe, American, British, and Canadian troops piled up impressive gains and the armies of Soviet Russia in the east moved to the fringes of storied Vienna.
The great Allied drive to bisect Germany from west to east and join with the armies of Russia for the final kill carried U. S. third army troops to points within 136 miles of greater Berlin today.
Near for Junction with Russians
Near top SUNSHINE
Forward elements of the Third army surged into Muelhausen, 136 miles from the outskirts of Berlin, and this new gain of Patton's troops place them 168 miles from the last reported Russian position in the east.
NUMBER 125
U. S. Ninth army troops reached the ancient city of Hamelin, 25 miles from the major rail center of Hannover.
The second armored division of the Ninth army rolled forward 25 miles to reach the Weser river.
British Move Near Bremen
Reuters reported that the British Seventh armored division is within 38 miles of Bremen.
Overhead, Allied bombing fleets dealt devastation to Germany's few remaining worthwhile targets.
Premier Marshal Joseph T. Stalin announced the capture of Bruck, 18 miles southeast of Vienna.
American troops on Okinawa prepared for a showdown fight with the Japanese as indications mounted that the enemy garrison, estimated at between 60,000 and 80,000 troops, was getting ready to turn the lower portion of the island into a bloody battlefield.
General Douglas MacArthur announced another invasion by his troops, this time at Masbate island.
Buses Accommodate With Extra Schedules
For the third consecutive Sunday, Rapid Transit buses will accommodate West Hills' residents with service five times a day primarily to allow church attendance in the morning and theater attendance in the afternoons, according to J. J. Wilson, manager of the Rapid Transit Co.
"If loads warrant sending the buses on Sunday, the schedule will continue," Mr. Wilson said. "However, because of tire and gasoline rationing, insufficient loads may force us to abandon the project," he stated.
Dr. Lucy Barr has been doing war research work in the department of bacteriology with Dr. C. M. Dows since March. Dr. Barr was graduated from the University in 1930 and received her doctor of bacteriology degree in Minnesota in 1934.
The new schedules for Sunday service have been distributed to various houses on the campus.

Concert Series Program Told
Next year's concert series, including six programs and a possible seventh complimentary recital with Bronislaw Huberman, violinist, was announced by Dean D. M. Swarthout, manager of the University Concert course.
The first three programs of the 1945-46 series will include Argentinita and her Spanish Dance Ensemble, Blanche Thebom, mezzosoprano, Metropolitan Opera company, and the Ballet Theater with a symphony orchestra and 80 people.
Fourth in the series will be the return engagement of the Don Cossack chorus and dancers of 30 men, directed by Serge Jaroff. The Russian troupe scored a hit with a University audience when it appeared for the Concert course in 1942.
Mr. Huberman has promised that if a satisfactory schedule can be arranged he will make a return performance to compensate for his inability because of illness to complete his recital here last December.
Robert Casudeau, French concert pianist will play for his first performance in Lawrence, and James Melton, tenor. Metropolitan Opera company will sing for the last scheduled program in the series.

High School Students Arrive For Festival
Judges Choose Queen Nominees Tomorrow
Representatives from each of the schools will present one-act plays Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning in Fraser theater. Also scheduled for the festival are extemporaneous speaking, oratory, radio drama and prose reading events.
Approximately 150 students from the fifteen Kansas high schools that are participating in the University's annual Speech and Drama festival, will arrive here tomorrow afternoon.
From approximately 250 photographs of contestants for the Jayhawk beauty queen,40 will be selected by a committee of eight judges tomorrow night to attend an informal tea Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in the Kansan room.
From this selected group of women fifteen will be chosen to be photographed. These photographs will then be sent to Hollywood for the final judging.
The judges who will choose the fifteen women are: Christopher Thomas, freshman medicine; Bob Ramsey, Engineering junior; Harold Warwick, College freshman; R. J. Atkinson, Engineering senior; Bob Stewart, freshman medic; Leon Thomas, College sophomore; Charles Cowan's, freshman medic; and Dewey Nemec, Pharmacy senior.
Wheeler's Ties Aren't Loud; They're "Just Colorful"
University students have been invited to attend the events beginning at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater. No admission will be charged.
"My ties aren't loud," the professor explained mirthfully. "They're just colorful. Drab and colorless things bore me."
Ambitious R. H. "Loud Tie" Wheeler, professor of psychology, plans to design a schizophrenic pattern and paint such a tie himself this summer.
As he thoughtfully pondered the situation, he added, "I've been falsely accused of wearing ties that don't blend. Of course, my ties aren't the same color as my suits, for wearing your entire costume in the same color is a sign of stagnation."
Have you considered the novelty of a fluorescent tie?
"Color boosts my spirits," the already spirited professor declared. "A gay tie helps me to remain gay."
Likes Colorful People Too
Colorful people appeal to Professor Wheeler, so also do colorful things—including ties.
Likes Colorful People Too
His collection, which displays the results of 15 years of conscientious labor, contains enough ties to wear a different one every day during a semester. His favorite tie brought $20.50 for the War Chest drive last fall.
Cities in all parts of the world and all over the United States are represented in Professor Wheeler's hobby collection of ties. He has no favorite color, as long as it's "colorful," but his favorite cravats contain unique, uncommon, unusual, remarkable, and rare designs. Hand-painted ties are about the only type that fulfill these requirements, he has found.
Collection Over Fifteen Years
An exclusive tie firm in Atlantic City, was tipped off somehow about Professor Wheeler's mania for ties. As a result he receives pattern samples periodically from them, but "They're too commonplace," insists Professor Wheeler.
(International News Service)
Russia broke with Japan today.
In reprisal for Japanese aid to Germany and Tokye's war against the Anglo-American allies, Soviet-Russia denounced the 5-year treaty of neutrality and non-aggression signed with Japan on April 13, 1941.
Soviet foreign Commissar Vyacheslav M. Molotov called the Japanese ambassador to the Kremlin and informed him that the pact signed with much fanfare four years ago has been unilaterally abrogated.
The news came at a moment when Japan was involved in another cabinet crisis provoked by the sudden resignation of
These advisory periods, a part of the general advisory system, are to aid students having some difficulty with their class work early in the semester.
Freshmen and sophomores in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, whose names appear on the four weeks report list, are to see their advisers Monday and Tuesday, Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, announced today.
Underclassmen To See Advisers In Grade Check
Another list of all freshmen and sophomores in the college and their advisers will be posted so that any underclassman may consult his adviser if he wishes. However, it is not compulsory unless the student's name appears on the four weeks list. The advisers' office hours will be posted to aid both adviser and student to make appointment plans.
The list will appear on the bulletin board opposite room 229 in Frank Strong hall early Monday morning.
Haines Completes Engineering Unit
William Haines, senior in the School of Engineering, has just completed a salt saturation unit valued at $1,150, which will be moved from Fowler shops to Lindley hall soon, according to Prof. Paul G. Hausman.
Students in the chemical engineering department, who are enrolled in design classes under Dr. Thomas T. Castonguay, are also taking welding classes in the department of shop practice, under the direction of Professor Hausman. This is in order to correlate the work in design with the actual construction problems, according to Professor Hausman.
Y. W. C. A. Delegates To Meet in Topeka
"These actual construction problems have proved very valuable to the chemical engineering students during the past few years, and such a plan is in keeping with modern educational trends," he said.
Delegates from the Y. W. C. A. will attend a meeting of the Topeka Y. W. C. A. Saturday afternoon. Plans are being made by both chapters for the national conference, April 14, and the delegates will listen to ideas discussed in a workshop from 2 until 4 p.m. Saturday. At least two women, and perhaps five, will go.
The Schools of Arts, Engineering Law, Fine, Arts, and Pharmacy were established at the University in 1891.
Premier General Kumar so, because of the admitted gravity of the war situation in the Pacific and inability of his military leaders to stem the tide of American advances.
The Russo-Japanese treaty had stipulated that the agreement was to last until April 25,1946,but that if no notice were given by either signer of the pact before April 25 of this year, the treaty would be automatically renewed.
Molotov told the Japanese ambassador that the international situation no longer is like that under which the treaty was signed; that Japan is an ally of Germany who is an enemy of Russia and that Japan is an enemy of the United States and Great Britain who are allies of Russia.
The action of Russia was expected in many diplomatic quarters.
The reaction in Japan was the hastening of the cabinet crisis.
KFKU Initiates Series of Three New Radio Programs
Three new program series will be heard over KFKU during the months of April, May and June, Miss Mildred Seaman, director of radio, announced today.
Students of the School of Fine Arts will present a 15-minute recital at 2:45 p.m. each Monday. Gorgia Weinrich and Allen Rogers will initiate the series with two piano recitals. Nine other Fine Arts students will perform in May and June. They are Helen Pierson, violinist; Martha Lee Baxter, 'cellist; and Norma Lutz, Ruth Russell, Nadine Brewer and Zendra Cass, all vocalists. Yolande Meek, Margaret Snodgrass, and Bettilou Gregory, pianists, will also be heard in this series.
Continuing a series of programs from last semester concerning Russia, a new group entitled, "Know France," will be presented at 9:45 every Monday night, sponsored by the department of Romance Languages. All phases of French life will be discussed by the following faculty professors:
D. L. Patterson and F. E. Melvin
French history; H. B. Chubb, French politics; H. C. Tracy, science; W. E. Sandellus, foreign policy; John Ise, French economy; Miss Mabel Elliott, social aspects; R. G. Mahieu, Miss Mattie Crumline, and J. N. Carman, French literature. French

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 5, 1945
Kansan Comments
Campus Scene Altered Again By War Workers
Lindley hall will soon be the home of 200 Sunflower Ordnance trainees. The University will try out a new experience in its history. It is probably the most striking effect the S.O.W. has had on the campus, but in its three years of existence, the plant has made an equally striking impression on Lawrence.
In the short span of 36 months, the powder plant workers have flooded this city. Local citizens have seen representatives of every nationality walking down Massachusetts street.
Times have changed since May, 1942, when actual construction work on the plant began, 16 miles east of Lawrence. One hundred farm families were moved out of their homes to make way for the new industry. Today those farms have been converted into an independent city of 5000 separate buildings, some of them weird powder magazines encased in earth-filled barricades.
University upper-lassmen have watched the Sunflower powder plant develop virtually in their own back yard. Many of them have worked there part-time to put welcome cash into their pockets.
Upper-classmen also have watched Lawrence change from a friendly college town to a crowded and more impersonal war center. The familiar jelly-joint hangouts are no longer filled with "hiya Joe" collegians. War workers have taken over. They deserve priority. Direct contributors to the war effort should have every privilege.
It is hard to realize how swiftly times have changed. The happy-go-lucky atmosphere that college students used to enjoy is now at a low ebb. Frivolity has gone with the war. Shocked into early maturity
Letter to the Editor
I wish to correct an error in the Daily Kansas story yesterday concerning the proposed change in the election system, which has caused many false impressions among students.
To the editor:
The All Student Council did not vote upon any change in the election system. The only vote taken of any kind was a mere check of the opinion of those present, the majority of whom were not council members. All of the council was not in attendance last evening, and not every member chose to vote.
The story mentioned the fact that the vote was "of those present," but the headline gave a new slant to the story. That is what the students read.—A council member.
Paper Situation Is At Critical Stage
Topeka, April 5. — The continuing need for waste paper despite developments in the European war theater was emphasized today by M. B Gourley, chairman of the Kansai Salvage Committee.
"With the end of the war in Europe," Gourley said, "there will be an immediate and pressing need for packaging material for trans-shipment of supplies to the Pacific theater. Thus, rather than permitting a let-up in effort, the situation calls for constantly increasing salvage of waste paper in order to meet new developments."
Further cuts in allotments of wrapping paper, paper bags, and newsprint all serve to emphasize the seriousness of the paper situation, which is now in its most critical stage in the entire war.
by the world-wide conflict, the campus has become sobered. Lindley hall's new residents will be one more step in bringing war closer home. F.A.R.

April Fool's day was slightly on the delayed side this year at Corbin hall when everything was in an uprear Monday evening, but originality made up for the lack of promptness. Tables were exclusively decorated with no table clothes, and with cans of vegetables, and strainers. Dust pans and paper towels adorned the walls of the dining room. One was fortunate if he had a relish fork or a butter knife for silverware.
Rock Chalk Talk
Changing the custom a slight degree, milk, water, and coffee were served in vinegar jugs, pitchers, relish dishes, and sugar bowls. The waitresses, who were the practical jokers, wore green lettuce leaves in their hair and corsages of carrots and radishes.
The finale came when the guests put their dishes under the table and gaily strolled out of the "mad house" (after the meal was served, of course).

Hurriedly Helen signed the little pink overnight slip and started to leave when she discovered that the librarian had given her "Care of the Children." She returned the book exclaiming, "This is a very interesting book, but I'm quite sure it won't take the place of the "Constitution of the United States."

In the hall outside Mr. Beth's office in the Journallism building is a display board depicting the course of the war in 1942 newspaper headlines. The headlines were taken from large daily newspapers and will be a permanent exhibit in the new School of Journalism which is to be established at the University There are two other display boards for 1943 and 1944 which are not or exhibit at present. The entire exhibit shows the trend and the turning points of the two wars.
Mr. Beth has the newspapers which show the results of the combining of the New York Evening World and the New York Telegram after the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain had purchased the Evening world, the Morning World, and the Sunday World. The Morning World had an Associated Press membership so, in order not to forfeit rights to the membership, Scripps-Howard published a four page newspaper with nothing but Associated Press news on the front page and three full pages of advertising. A copy of this newspaper is also on file with Mr. Beth.
months of the war," Mr. Beth declared.
Have you read a newspaper recently which doesn't stress a story of some war? Or, as you read the headlines in the daily papers heralding "good news" concerning the war in Europe or the Pacific, have you thought of the headlines of the newspapers in 1942 when it seemed as though we were losing both wars?
Newspapers showing such events can be found in the majority of newspaper offices and Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the University's department of journalism, has his share of interesting newspapers.

In his office, Mr. Beth keeps copies of newspapers which he feels are interesting to all University students as well as to the inhabitants of the "Shack." In the top drawer of a cabinet in his office are three New York newspapers, the Daily News, the Daily Mirror, and the Evening Graphic, which filled their entire front and back pages with the story of the death of Charles A. Lindbergh's infant son in May, 1942. Other newspapers in the collection tell of the electrocution of Richard Hauptmann, the kidnapper and murderer of the baby.

Our fighting men are using telephones, wire, switchboards, and other communications equipment in huge quantities. And Western Electric workers, peacetime suppliers to the Bell System, are busy meeting those needs.
An invasion fleet of several hundred warships uses some 48,000 telephones—from 1,500 on a battleship to 10 on a motor torpedo boat. That's as many as are used by most cities of 160,000!
That is why there are not enough home telephones right now. But we are looking forward to the day when the Bell System can again provide telephone service to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Two Newcomers Join Oklahoma Cinder Squad
Norman, Okla. April 5—Two Sooner Pinocchios who never or jumped competitively before this season are members of the 16-man University of Oklahoma track squad that left here Friday for the Texas Relays Saturday at Austin, Texas.
They are Homer Sparkman of Anadarko, Okla., blocking back the last two years on Oklahoma's Big Six conference championship football, and Carlos Mcullough of Fayette. Mo., an intramural swimmer-boxer who played last fall on Oklahoma's all-victorious junior varsity football team. Both are navy ROTC students here and if you'd told them six months ago that they'd be on the Oklahoma track team, they'd probably laughed in your face.
Like Geppetto, the wood-carver who fashioned a puppet that became a real flesh and blood character in the story Walt Disney made famous a while back, John Jacobs, veteran Sooner track coach, has made formidable wartime track men out of Sparkman and McCullough, neither of whom ever wore a track suit until this year.
Although most football players wouldn't even run a half a mile, Sparkman was clocked in 2:00.5 while losing the 880 by a step to Bob Umstadt, Texas's Southwest conference champion, in the Southwest exhibition meet three weeks ago at Forth Worth, Texas.
McCullough broad-jumped 23 feet in last week's Skyjacket Invitation meet here, getting off one leap of 23 feet 6 inches that was foul by only the length of one steel spike.
Both were in school here last winter and spring but did not come out for track. Sparkman was out for spring football. McCullough, who played basketball, softball at Fayette, Mo. high school, didn't know he had any track talent until Clarence Vicklund, Sooner distance runner, talked him into coming out. McCullough broad-jumped 18 feet his first week and then Jacobs began to work with him. Both graduate with navy commissions in June. At Austin, Sparkman will anchor the Oklahoma two-mile relay team and also will run in one other relay. McCullough will broad jump.
Neither lad is a world-beater by any means, but when measured against the fact both were totally inexperienced before the 1943 season began, their marks are good and reflect a world of credit on them and also upon the Sooner coach.

Ames, Iowa, April 5—Coach Chick Sutherland's Cyclone baseball squad split on Saturday for an inter-squard game preceding the opening date with Simpson next Friday and Saturday. The "A" team walked away with a 3 to 0 decision in 6 innings.
Iowa State Baseball Squad Warms Up For Friday Opener
All of the scores came in the fifth enning when hits by Beckerle, Chu-damelok and Fink drove in Scott, Voelkers, and Beckerle. The luckless "B" squad went scoreless in the short run game.
The practice session failed to disclose any definite first string nine for the coming 2-game affair with the Indians. It may be that Sutherland will not name a starting team until the day of the Friday appearance.
Performing on the winning team were Scott, Fink, and Voelker in the left, center and right field spots. Beckerle was at third, Jackson at short, Heidel at second, and Jensen at first. Theobold and Chudamelko pitched with Phelps behind the plate.
Avery, Pfium, and Jones played the outfield for the "B" squad, with Myers, Ongero, Shock, and Block in the infield. Halverson and Bescanon were on the mound with Ron Johnson catching.

After a game, the heart rates of players return to normal far more quickly than that of coaches who spend the time "sweating blood" on the bench.

Freezing Temperature Injures Fruit Trees; Late Plants Unhurt
The peaches, plums and apricots have been damaged by the low drop in temperature Deal Six, Douglas county farm agent said this morning. The mercury dropped to a low of 26 in some parts of Lawrence last night and C. J. Posey, Co-operative weather observer, reported his lowest temperature reading at a scant 29.
The freeze did not injure the apple or pear orchards. The pears were not in full bloom and a check of some of the local apple orchards seemed to indicate that the trees had not been damaged. "We hope that our apple trees stood the freeze in good shape," Mrs. W. E. Koehring commented, "however, we won't be able to know definitely about our crop for 10 or 12 days."

Betty Jo O'Neal, college junior, has been appointed chairman of a committee to investigate having a fifth annual Dandelion Day, which the Jay James plan to sponsor, Mary Olive Marshall, president, announced today.
Although plans are tentative,
Dandelion Day, which was first suggested by Charles Wright, Topeka, and Bill Farmer, Paola, has been a yearly event at K. U. since its institution in 1941. Until 1944, Dandelion Day was an all-day affair, but last year University authorities vetoed this plan because of the intensified war program. The occasion was an afternoon event last year, with digging beginning at 3-30, climaxed by a picnic and a street dance in the evening.

The correspondent quoted a dispatch in the Moscow newspaper Pravda which stated, among other things, that submarine crews had gone through torpedo maneuvers and that "the maneuvers gave excellent results."

U.S. Over Weser Near Hannover
His academic training ended with the elementary grades, but he received a broad musical education under private instructors. Most influential of these was Dr. Louis Kelterman, famed musicologist. Mr. Downes has lately advanced the idea of musicology schools for training critics. He himself had no real training in the literary field.

Mr. Downes, who will speak here for the second time, will discuss "The Place of the Artist in the Modern World." He will arrive here by plane to participate in the opening event of Music week.

At the northern end of the western front, Canadian troops pushed to the west and north in drives which threatened to isolate all enemy forces in Holland, and cut supply and communication lines leading to German V-bomb installations.
A new U. S. First army showdown drive toward Berlin was under way today, adding impetus to the nine-army assault across Germany which included new crossings of the Weser river and a thrust at Hannover. The British radio said that Allied troops are less than 2 miles from Hannover.

London, (INS) — The Moscow radio tonight reported resignations of the Czechoslovak government in exile with headquarters in London.
President Eduard Bene received the members of the Czech government yesterday and accepted their resignations, the broadcast said.
Formation of a new cabinet is expected, Moscow added.
Armored units of the U. S. First army pushed forward 20 miles toward the Weser river in the area east of Paderborn, while infantry troops reached the river 10 miles above Kassel.
Third Army Still Advancing
U. S. Third army infantry advanced 13 miles along a 30-mile front, pushing at one point to within 58 miles of the Czech border.
Fighting on the U. S. Seventh army front was centered in the city of Heilbronn and Wuerzburg.
The French First army advanced to the Necker river south of Heilborn.
As Allied armies battered their way across German territory, General Omar N. Bradley, commander of the 12th army' group, declared in a broadcast from Coblenz that "this time we must leave the German people with no illusions about who won the war, no less than who lost the war."
On the eastern front, Soviet troops were reported to be battling in the cutskirts of Vienna proper. Dispatches reaching Moscow said that Russian tommy-gunners, street fighting veterans of the battles for Stalingrad and Budapest, had been assigned the task of cleaning Nazi snipers and machine gunners out of the cellars and attics of Vienna.
Bombings on Rail Centers Continue The endless Allied air war went into another blazing day with heavy American bombers, escorted by fighters, blasting the big German rail terminal at Halle, Saxony, and Leipzig.
"He taught me to drive. Now perhaps I can teach him to fly!" This was the enthusiastic comment today of diminutive Mrs. Irene Tice, senior in the College, after winning the distinction of being the first member of the Jayhawk飞翔 Club to fly solo. She was referring to her husband, an Army doctor whom she has not seen for over three years. He is now working in an evacuation hospital in Manila.
"Good Instructor" Is Reason
Mrs.Irene Tice First Member Of K.U.Flying Club to Solo
When asked how she happened to be the first student to fly alone she replied, "I had such a good instructor." However, this answer does not seem sufficient since her instructor, Don Ong, son of the owner of the Ong Aircraft corporation who provide the flight instructors for the K.U. course, also is instructing some eight or nine other members of the club. As for Ong, he says Mrs. Tice did a very commendable job, in fact, maneuvered several three-point landings.

Flying Gives New Perspective
"I've been walking on air ever since," Mrs. Tice exclaimed. She said she has never soloed over the campus but she wants to do so. "It gives you a new perspective. The
As to her sensations while in flight, "Well, that other seat looked kind of empty," she admitted. "But I'm not the type that scares easily." Mrs. Tice is slightly over five feet tall.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 6, 1945
Kansan Comments False Spring Wrought By Nature Reminder to Man of Futile Wars
Nature wars against herself and so does man.
We looked with apprehensive eyes at a belated onslaught of winter against a newly-blossomed spring. When had there been such splendor of redbud—such gold of forsythia bushes? When had the lilacs drooped so low with unopened clusters? And the orchards! The orchards and fruit trees that dot the countryside—the lilting fragrance of peach and plum and pear—when had they held such promise of bounty?
All this we saw and loved, then winter returned momentarily. In one freezing night with wind and ice Nature fell on herself and ravaged the pregnant spring. Black were the lilacs and barren the trees in the morning. Why must the forces of nature conflict? Why with one hand should she cut off the other?
Nature destroys herself, but there's man—what of him? This creature of nature endowed with intelligence
—what of him? What of the spring-time of man? What of the manhood that strives for the stars through test tubes and microscopes? What of minds that have sought to understand and live the ethics of Jesus and Socrates? Surely here, in a wisdom that has bull-dogged the elements, man has proof of his ascendency over those elements.
The answer? You know it too well! With his hands in a strangle hold about his neck, man is killing himself. Nature is not so vicious as he who would lop off an arm or a leg at the expense of the rest of his body rather than find the cause of the malady and remedy it. The intelligence that might be finding better ways of life has turned to more effective means of death—means of blasting to bits the work of man's hands and the flesh of his flesh.
Blackened buds and blossoms, broken lives and dreams—neither will ripen for harvest.—R.E.

There is a Nov. 14, 1931, edition of the San Francisco Call Bulletin with the front page devoted to a life-sized picture of the largest baby born in San Francisco. The baby weighed 14 pounds and 7 ounces.
There are Paris editions of the Chicago Sunday Tribune; bound copies of the Chicago Sun which were published a month before the newspaper actually went on sale; copies of the Hartford Newsday which experimented with offset lithography (this permits the inexpensive publishing of pictures because it does not require engravings), extras of the Daily Kansan telling of the Anatomy building fire, the Pearl Harbor attack edition, and a 1937 April Fool edition shouting in black headlines, "Faculty strikes" and "No classes until decision is reached."
Although there is no complete file known to exist of the New York Evening Graphic, called the most sensational New York tabloid, Mr Beth has four copies including two Saturday editions with the rotogravure section. One of these copies contains the story of Celia Cooney, notorious woman ganster. There are also copies in the collection of the New York Evening Post when it was a tabloid in 1933.
One of the most unusual-looking front pages of the collection is the front page of the Oct. 5, 1942, edition of the Emporia Gazette, published by William Allen White. A small amount of printing is on the front

page, giving the weather report and unimportant local news but the other columns are marked "censored." Mr. White had set up the front page as it should have been printed, with the national and international events filling the columns. He then had marked out all this news to show what stories could not have been printed if the paper had been published in any of the Nazis' nations.

There is a copy of the Detroit Daily which is important for its editorial without words. The column this edition with the exception of reserved for editorials was blank for two pictures in the center. The top picture showed coffins of four high school students and, beneath it, the picture of the three men, who had murdered them, behind prison bars. The editorial is entitled "Michigan Justice."
Mr. Beth says that these newspapers are just a few of the many in his possession but that they are among the more interesting. The history of the world, as well as the history of journalism, can be found in such collections of newspapers.

Saga of a sailor—One KU V-12, it seems, has succeeded admirably in getting his wires crossed. The gregarious gob had been writing to two nurses for some time—one who lived in Lawrence and is now in Kansas City and the other from his home town. And each girl has been getting the same ol' line from the amorous seaman. Twas all very well and good perhaps, until the two girls, who had been friends all along, got together during a vacation here in Lawrence and started comparing notes. Determined to repay the V-12's generosity, the two plotted, and the result was one embarrassed sailor.
The Lawrence nurse called the V-12 immediately on arriving in town and asked that he come down. Being the co-operative type, he compiled, and was greeted affectionately at the door. During the greeting, the other nurse walked in, and the two girls laughed at the plight of another man, foiled again.

Jayhawk Stands As Kindly Bird For Orphans
The Jayhawk nursery for evacuated infants and war-orphans has been one of 21 such nurseries carried on in Great Britain under the Save the Children federation, explained Miss Margaret Lynn, chairman of the Jayhawk nursery committee in Lawrence today.
This nursery was undertaken by members of the University and alumni, and the Lawrence community. The British Ministry of Health matches the American gifts, so only half of the total maintenance has been provided by the sponsors.
From February, 1942, it was housed in Foxhill, a man-house belonging to the late Captain Fitzroy, speaker of the House of Commons. A few months ago it was necessary to give up the manor house at Rugby and to transfer the children to another place. The original name was transferred, and the new house wears the plaque which carries the Jayhawk picture. It is said that the children take a sort of merry pride in their connection with the queer, crusty bird. The new place is at Barnstaple on the North Devon shore.
"The 35 children in the nursery were mostly from the ruined homes of Birmingham," said Miss Lynn. "When the children reach the age of five, some can be restored to parents or friends, others are sent to schools adapted to their age."
Two out of every three persons in England, both men and women, are working full time in the armed forces, civilian defense or munitions, and their children are in great need of the care which these nurseries offer. Some of the children at the Jayhawk nursery have been orphaned by bombings of many of the cities in England.
The faculty, alumni and friends of the University donated $3,500 last year to establish and support the Jayhawk nursery for one year under the auspices of the Save the Child federation. "These children are given nourishing food and learn to play and sleep peacefully," said Miss Lynn, "and gradually the horrible memory of the bombings will be erased."
"Once more Kansas is being asked to keep alive its humane connection with the needs of our ally," concluded Miss Lynn.

K. U. Intramurals Successful
K. U. sport enthusiasts, participants and spectators alike, should feel immensely proud of the fact that intramural sports on the Hill have continued to function so completely in spite of war-time difficulties.
O. U. Has Trouble
Other campuses throughout the nation are not finding the going as pleasant as it has been at K.U. At Oklahoma, for example, the situation is getting desperate The following quotation is direct from the Oklahoma Daily, O.U. campus paper:
". . . the wartime intramurals here are a failure. That failure is not due . . . . the director of the program, or his assistant . . . The fault lies with the students, with the heads of every house and group on campus here is an appalling lack of organization."
oxing Receives No Support
A recent boxing tournament on the Sooner campus almost died on its feet because of poor support, while only fifteen men entered the swimming meet. Only two independents and about a dozen Navy trainees entered, the rest coming from the organized houses.
Orchids to Our Directors
Naturally, this column feels proud of the intramural program at K.U under the very active direction of r. F. C. Allen, director of *intraurals*, and his very able assistant, ay Kanehl, one tournament after other has seen its successful comebin in the past semester and a liff. Two fairly popular spring sports, handball and golf, are being played at the present time with more entries than either the Sooner boxing tournament or swimming meet. More Activity at I-State
At Iowa State, the situation is not so desperate as down Norman way. The Cyclones go in for volleyball in big way and a tournament is being held at the present time. Two leagues, one of fraternities and one of independents, have been organized, with a round-robin system of play to be used in each league. Softball Starts Soon
Every one on campus is looking eagerly toward the opening of the intramural softball season the latter art of this month. Crowds have always been good at these games with competition close in every game, touch football, basketball, and softball are the three big sports of the intramural season, and now only softball is left. Entries from every organization wishing to enter a team due on April 23, and entry blanks will be sent out by the intramurals fice very soon.
eahawks Play Host
The Iowa State Cyclones, the Missouri Tigers, and the Iowa Preflight eahawks will tangle in a three way rackmeet at Iowa City tomorrow afternoon.
The Iowa Staters are favored over the Tigers from Columbia, although the Seahawks are expected to win most of the first places. Missouri's outstanding entry is Ed Quirk, shottter who is also under contract to the Metropolitan opera company. Quirk was selected in a tryout last summer and will sing with the Metropolitan upon graduation this spring.

Kansans Number 195,000 in Service
Kansas has 195,000 citizens in the armed forces, Gov. Andrew Schoeppel announced today.
Commenting on the great part the state is taking in the war, the governor pointed out that many Kansans were in the ninth armored division that crossed the Rhine at Remagen, and that the federal guard units drawn early into service have given a good account of themselves.
Trainees at Fort Riley likewise have had an important part in the war, and, of course, there is Kansas's own Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Governor Schoeppel also directed attention to the many supplies provided over the state by various ordnance works and the vast food supplies furnished by the state.

Pledges Growing For Memorial In Kansas City
To meet the need for improved social and recreational facilities on the Kansas City campus of the University School of Medicine, alumni are being acquainted with the scope of a proposed student union building. Preliminary pledges of $40,000 have already been collected.
Plans for the building anticipate social and recreational rooms in the basement and first floors with four dormitory floors above. Double dormitory rooms would house 100 students, and twenty single rooms would offer space for alumni and visiting doctors.
To Be Francisco Memorial
A memorial for Dr. C. B. Francisco, the social and recreational features would include meeting rooms, reading room, study rooms, cafeteria, snack-shop, extra classrooms, and possibly a chapel.
Bowling alleys would supplement the game rooms and cafeteria in the basement floor plan.
Washington, (INS) — Secretary of State Stettinius revealed today that a note has been received from the French government asking for more details on the Yalta agreement with respect to liberated areas.
Ball Room Extension Planned
Tentative plans provide for a ball room extension of the main building affording a large dance or assembly room with stage and floor capacity for 200 couples.
France Curious About Yalta
The legislature has made it possible to build an adequate student union around an endowment by issuing bonds to be retired in 20 years from the net income from dormitories, classrooms, cafeteria, and student union dues.
Plumbing Unrepaired In Fraser Hall After Workmen Quit
The three plumbers, who had requested a raise from 70 to 90 cents an hour through the regular state civil service channels, were told at the time of their resignation that the administration would consider their case at its convenience, preferring to deal with wage questions affecting a larger number of employees at one time. The men had given the required week's notice when they quit, Mr. Nichols said.
The campus has had no plumbing service the last 29 days because the University still has been unable to replace the three plumbers who quit their jobs March 10 for higher-paying commercial positions.
Efforts are being made to replace these men, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today, but attempts have been unsuccessful. The University is prepared to pay higher wages of new plumbers, Mr. Nichols added, but he designated no specific salary increase.
Restroom facilities for women are out of order in Fraser hall, but employees of the buildings and grounds department said they did not know "when or how anything would be done" on repairs.

It was also the first time that it had ever happened to Jack Dees, the 28-year-old father, who piloted a B-25 bomber in the African and Sicilian campaigns and who received his army discharge January 1. The present Dee's apartment is big enough for only two and that is the reason that the father hastened from the hospital shortly after the birth of the babies to look for a place to move his family.
Meanwhile the three little girls were starting life by an adjustment to small quarters. They were in an incubator three feet long, with an 18-inch width and height. Two lay side by side and the third was cross-wise at their feet.
The glass incubator was at the front of the nursery, just before the window center. They had a window audience most of the day.
Committee Plans Graduation Day
Commencement activities will begin with the senior breakfast, Sunday morning, June 24, and end with commencement that night, according to plans made by the student-faculty commencement committee at a meeting Friday afternoon.
Following the 7:15 breakfast at the Union ballroom, baccalaurate will be held at 9:30 in Hoch auditorium.
The Alumni association will meet in Fraser at 2 p.m., and at 4:45, a supper will be given in the Union ballroom for the seniors, their families, alumni, and faculty members.
The committee decided to hold all the activities on one day following a meeting of the senior class at which the class voted for such a plan. The plan was adopted because it allows students to get away a day earlier and makes it possible for more parents to attend the exercises, according to Dean Gilbert Ulmer, chairman of the commencement committee.
Commencement will begin at 8 p.m. in Memorial stadium.
Nazis Scorch Own Cities; Japs Reinforce Okinawa
Yanks Wage Tough Fight For Okinawa
International News Service
In the Pacific there was every indication that the battle of Okinawa was developing into one of the toughest of the Pacific war as Jap defenders estimated between 60,000 and 80,000 troops laid down a terrific concentration of all types of fire.
The enemy defense of the island is radiating from Shuri at both Tomb Hill and the low ridge north of Kakazu, with our forces getting to the Japs at an increasing cost of casualties. The doughboys were forced to withdraw from the Kakazu ridge but still controlled the elevation although not exactly occupying the top.
Meanwhile a Japanese Domei dispatch declared that "the imperial navy has been mobilized for a grand offensive and special attack corps planes are taking off for the Okinawas.

The Artist Is Becoming a Real Part Of Human Society, Downes Says
There is still, Mr. Downes feels, a gap between the artist and society. This, he says, is partly a carry-over from the past when the artist was set
"The artist will become more and more a real part of human society." Olin Downes stated today in his convocation speech.
Mr. Downes, New York Times music critic, spoke today as the opening event of music week. Chancellor Deane W. Malotti introduced him as a "musician, author, critic, and great human being."
The University band played before and after the lecture. Still a Can However
"I am one of those," he said, "who dislikes the concept of the artist in the past, when he was treated like a child or a plaything of the public."
Still a Gap, However
Mr. Downes says that the war is

aside as something only responsible to churchmen or kings, and partly because of the irresponsibility of the artist who is unwilling to meet society.
He cited Archibald MacLeish's idea that irresponsible writers are ignoring the important things about them, and paralleled this with his disgust for the gap between society and the musician owing to the artist's living in another world. He blames some of this irresponsibility to the "profound immorality of society" and the cynicism which the last war created. But to a large extent these men are falling by the wayside, he believes.

German Fire Engulfs 10,000 Square Miles
International News Service
Huge fires engulfed 10,000 square miles of northwestern Germany today, indicating unprelailed Nazi destruction of key cities in the path of Allied armies hanmering through the suburban outskirts of Bremen and Hannover. The Brussels radio reported British troops already in the suburbs of Breman. Frontline dispatches indicated the early fall of Hannover, major communication center, and BBC reported that American ninth army tanks are within sight of the city and have reached a point three miles from its center.
The U.S. First army was within 138 miles of Berlin as units of Lt. Gen. Hodges's forces smashed east to Duderstadt, northeast of Nuelhausen. Trapped in western Holland are an estimated 80,000 Germans, supreme headquarters said, as Canadian forces carved their way toward the Zuider Zee north of Zwolle.
Non-Combat Troops Taken
General Eisenhower's headquarters said these soldiers were mostly noncombatant troops, whose capture will simply mean 80,000 Germans for the Americans to feed.
Anks 58 Miles from Czech Beder
Alliance
The Americans and British may be slowed down by the German-kindled fire. One returning reconnaissance flyer who described the blowing flames over an area of 10,000 miles said: "It looked like the end of the world."
One hundred fifty seniors from 75 high schools in Kansas took preliminary examinations in seven cities in Kansas Saturday as candidates for Summerfield scholarships.

Kansan Comments Discarded Clothing Welcomed By YWCA for War Victims
Next Sunday will be the beginning date for one of the most practical campaigns of this war—a national clothing collection for the deprived people of battle-torn countries overseas.
Many students attending the University through the generosity of their parents or working their own way through college do not have much ready cash to donate to the frequently recurring drives seeking monetary support. The coming campaign, however, does not ask for actual money, but merely for the old clothes which were probably destined for the next rummage sale.
Easter clothes, purchased only a few weeks ago, undoubtedly substitute for some of the outfits which have been worn since early high school days. Then there are the seemingly insignificant items, such as mittens and gloves—even those with holes which easily can be darned—faded head-scarves, sweat-shirts that have become a little too
baggy, saddle shoes that have curled up at the toes, now unfashionable ear-muffs, shirts with frayed collars and cuffs, and old sweaters.
Play Festival Termed 'Best in Many Years'; Many High Ratings
Some of this may sound like junk to those who have always been able to replenish their wardrobes at the first sign of wear, but to war victims who have not been able to rescue their clothes before bombs destroyed their homes, such garments will be exceedingly welcome. Surely we university people can afford to contribute this much for overseas relief—we, who have not even been restricted by clothes rationing.
Although you may think that you don't have any clothes here that aren't essential, if you go home this evening and cull your wardrobe with a really critical eye, at least one spare article of clothing is bound to be uncovered. It is this article that the Y.W.C.A. asks that you donate to the clothing collection when its solicitors come around next week.
"The best one-act play festival in many years," commented Gerald L. Pearson, principal of the University high school, today, on the annual University Speech and Drama festival here Friday and Saturday.
Of a total of nine Kansas high schools participating in the play contest, Prof. Allen Crafton, of the department of speech and drama, who acted as judge, awarded five first division ratings. The winning schools were Wyandotte, Turner, Washington Rural, Bonner Springs, and Rosedale.
More than a hundred participants were guests of organized houses on the campus, Friday night.
Thirteen schools were represented in the extemporaneous speaking, prose reading, radio drama, and oratory events. Arkansas City, Wyandotte, and Topeka high schools, in class A, won the greatest number of first division ratings. Bonner Springs and Washington Rural were awarded the largest number of firsts in individual events for class B schools.

Brewer, Lutz Win Music Club Awards
Nadye Brewer, freshman in the University's School of Fine Arts was the winner in the young artists' class of the sixteenth biennial audition for young artists and student musicians, sponsored by the National Federation of Music clubs held Friday at the Wyandotte High school in Kansas City. Miss Brewer was also the recipient of the $50 cash award offered by the Kansas Federation of Music clubs.
Norma Je Lutz, junior in the University's School of Fine Arts, was the winner in the student musicians class for women's voice.
Those entering from the University of Kansas were Ruth Russell, junior in the School of Fine Arts; Patricia Cloud, freshman in the School of Fine Arts; Norma Jean Lutz; and Nadyne Brewer.
The winners are eligible to compete in the district contest which will be held April 30 in Kansas City, Mo.

A trio grows in Lawrence-Hidden talent was brought to light when Dud Day, V-12, his guitar and trio, entertained Kansas City bound train passengers recently. The only trouble was that the passengers got a little tired of hearing loyal-to-his-home-state-Dud play "California" over and over again.

Ale, ale, the gang's all here—Question of the week: Why did they refuse to serve John McGuckin, man
realized.
Integration between all kinds of men and all kinds of thought in days to come will change the greatest handicap of men, the separation of spirit from flesh, he emphasized. Toscanini Outstanding Leader
Another man who knew his art but could be with society at the same time was Paderewski, pianist and stateman. The former premier of Poland, Mr. Downes believes would have with his ideals saved the Polish nation from the disaster that Pilsudski brought it to. The critic believes that the Paderewski was the man responsible for the recognition of Poland in his time.
He concluded that the artist must not be a symbol of which we dream, but a part of our intreigate living, the seen proved by the unseen and the unseen proved by the seen. Radio and Phonograph Bridge Car
Toscaniini stands out in the world as a man who tried to get away from the gap between the musician and human society. This was the man who refused to play the Fascist hymn and when beaten and imprisoned fearlessly accused his dictator of being a murderer and a coward.
In an interview, Mr. Downes said that he believed radio and records have played a large part in bridging the gap and making music "accessible" to the people; also, that music has become an absolute essential in the life of our army.
"Toscaniini fought with open weapons as a musician, effectively using them," he explained. "He projected to the principles which he believes and pays allegiance. He cannot be swerved from his purpose and will fight for his art with a deathless purpose not aloof. And if he lives his art will be one of the working forces of the world about us. Paderewski Linked With Society
of the world and sophisticate, when he visited one of Kaysee's brighter night spots recently? McGuckin insists that it was all because he was with Bill Kanaga, who happened to be talking baby-talk when the waitress came along.

David Arata or Clif Hargis, right end; Dorwin Lamkin, right tackle; Dud Day, right guard; Cecil Langord or Don Stockdale, center; Bob love or James Irvin, left guard; Bob Birch, left tackle; Gordon Reyolds, left end. In the back field will be James Sanders, right half; ommy Sinclair, quarterback; Milard Collins, fullback; Charlie Moffitt or Tom Conroy, left half.
name Will Be Close
"I'll probably be a pretty good title" commented Coach Shenk his morning, "since neither team will have much in the way of anense." Dick is still pretty quiet about his squad preferring to wait until he has seen them practice before predicting the outcome of the contest.

A Letter from Mordy
Sportorials
By EARL BARNEY
Jim Mordy, former Kansan sports editor, writes from Great Lakes that life in the navy is "pretty good." Mordy reports that Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Texas A. & M., Missouri, and Wisconsin are represented as schools in his group. Jim was glad to learn that his high school, Halstead, won the class B basketball title although we don't believe there was ever much doubt in his mind as to the merit of the Halstead five.

Track Meet to Wichita
Most of the dates for the various high school tournaments have been set, word comes to us from E. A. Thomas, head of the K. A. A. The state track meet will be held at Wichita on May 18 and 19; tentative dates for the high school baseball play-offs are May 10 and 11 at the same place. The time and place for the state golf meet and the state tennis meet have not been set. A canvas will be made of schools taking part in these sports and a site centrally located will be named. Track Marks Stand
Among a few of the track predictions that Brutus Hamilton, famed track coach now in the service, made ten years ago concerning track marks which still stand are:
are:
That the best any runner could hope to do would be to clip 27 hundreths of a second off the 100 yard dash record of 9.4 seconds; that if anyone ran the mile in 4:01.66 he would be turning in an unbeatable performance; that the seven-foot high jump mark would never be reached; that a pole vault leap of 15 feet is possible; that a leap of 27 feet in the broad jump can be made.
The only mark not yet reached is the broad jump distance, as Jesse Owens leap of 26 feet $8 \frac{1}{4}$ inches still stands. Cornelius Warmerdam is the only human, however, who has been able to leap 15 feet with the aid of a pole.

Independents Plan Party to Help YWCA In Clothing Drive
A party, combining a good time with helping the YWCA in their drive for old clothes, will be given for the Independents on April 20, Rosalie Erwin, president announced
The Old Clothes party will be in the Union lounge from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. with admission price being one piece of clothing to be donated to the drive. In this way persons living in unorganized houses can have an opportunity to contribute. As a part of the entertainment, stunts will be given by the various houses represented.
Final plans for the party will be completed Thursday at the council meeting.
Five prisoners at the Leavenworth federal penitentiary commandeered a laundry truck and the driver and escaped after stealing some officers' uniforms to which they changed.
Six miles north of Lawrence they abandoned the truck and stole an automobile belonging to Lyle Weeks, a farmer, freeing the driver of the truck.
Escaped Prisoners In Vicinity, Armed Wearing Uniforms
Then they fled north, but a tire blew out at Williamstown and they abandoned the Weeks automobile for another and continued north. From there the trail was lost.
The escaped prisoners had been employed on a golf course and were able to overpower the guard in making their escape.
No Neutral Nations to Be At California Conference
Washington, (INS) — Neutral nations have been definitively ruled out of the San Francisco conference, Secretary of State Stettinius said today. He added that 42 national organizations in the United States have been invited to send consultants to the conference in a plan to reach out to the crossroads of America for participation.
Capacity Crowd Hears Templeton
On - the - moment improvisations brought enormous applause as Alec Templeton played before a capacity audience last night. The artist, who plays the piano entirely by ear, has been on a concert tour for the past 33 days, returning to New York each weekend to play for the New York Sunday concerts.
The last half of the program, made up of Templeton specialties, proved to be most enthusiastically received. Combining "One Meat Ball," "Rhapsody in Blue" (Gershwin), "Warsaw Concerto," "Albumblatt," (Wagner), and "Star Dust," (Hoggy Carmichael), which were suggested by the audience, he composed a melody which he played in the style of various composers.
Five notes suggested by the audience were organized into a tune which he played in the styles of Bach, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, and Ravel.
The last improvisation included Tschakowsky's "Piano Concerto," "Candy," "Accentuate the Positive," and "Hymn to the Sun," which he also played in the style of various composers.
"Second Prelude" (George Gershwin) and "Polka" from the "Golden Age" (Shostakovich) were encore numbers preceding the intermission.
Encores following the scheduled program included vocal impersonations of "Ole' Man River" in the style of a baritone and a typical Englishman. Ruy Vallee was also impersonated singing the "Call of the Valkyrie."
(continued to page three)
Speaking on his experiences in the Polish campaign, as a Russian prisoner of war, and as a member of the Polish underground movement, Jan Karski, author of "Story of a Secret State" will be presented by the community lecture course at 8:20 p.m. in Fraser theater, Monday. Activity tickets will admit students.
Traveling back and forth all over the Fortress Europe, he had many encounters with the Gestapo. Finally caught by the enemy in the Slovakian mountains, he attempted suicide by slashing his wrist only to awake, in a German hospital, evidently considered too valuable to be permitted to die. He later escaped with the help of doctors and nurses, who, like himself, were members of the Underground.
Born into a well-to-do Polish family, Lieutenant Karski was educated and trained for the diplomatic corps at the University of Lwow, and at Geneva and London.
When he was sent to the United States to report to President Roosevelt and the State department, he brought with him 1,200 pages of Underground documents on microfilm.
As an officer in the polish artillery, he was captured by the Soviets, imprisoned in Russia, and won his release by posing as a German who was to be exchanged and sent back to the Reich to work. Jumping into a forest from a moving German prison train in the middle of the night, he walked for 12 days until he reached Warsaw. When he found that many of his friends and family had been killed, and the Army virtually wiped out, he contacted the Polish Underground and became the official courier between the Underground in Poland and the Polish government in London.
PolishP.W. To Lecture
Mr. Karski has received his country's highest military decoration, the Virtuti Militari. It is his conviction that Poland will take an important place among the other great democracies of the world.
Blind Student Pianist Meets Alec Templeton, Famed Maestro
"This certainly is a privilege, Mr. Templeton."
(They all say that, he thought.) “Ah, Mr. Templeton, there’s something more you should know. Miss Long plays the piano, too.”
"How do you do, Miss Long," Just another nice young co-ed, he thought.)
Bv Norma Dymond
The internationally famous musician was here for a concert in Hoch auditorium. He met many persons during the day, but when he was introduced to Frances Long, the conversation took on a more personal interest.
"Yes, Mr. Templeton, she does.
And she's blind, too."
"Oh, do you? How interesting." (Seems like everyone I meet plays the piano.)
"Mr. Templeton, this is Frances Long."
Blind? Another blind pianist?
And then Alee Templeton, himself
probably the most famous blind pianist
the world ever has known,
K. U.'s own and only blind pianist had the thrill of her life last night. She met Alec Templeton.
The two sightless musicians talked several minutes. Miss Long, who is a special student in the School of Fine Arts, and who studies under the direction of Allie M. Conger, associate professor of piano, was interested in Mr. Templeton's reaction to transcribing music into Braille.
"It's a great help for many persons," the concert and radio artist replied. "But I find it's too slow for me—I learn my music from victrola records and from having an assistant tell me the notes."
And Miss Long, who started teaching piano last May and now has 11 pupils, wondered whether the subject of harmony really is as important as a music school would have its proteges think.
Like most great pianists, Mr Templeton's favorite still is classical music. he told Frances.
really was interested.
"Yes, indeed." Alec answered.
"I've taken a lot of harmony. I don't know where I'd be without the background."

Romberg to Play 'Midbrow' Music
Sigmund Romberg, Hungarian-born composer, with his "Middlebrow Music" will appear at 8:20 to tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium. He will bring with him three vocal soloists and a 50-piece orchestra.
"Middlebrow Music" is his name for his own compositions and those of Lehar, Friml, Strauss, Kreisler, Kern, and Gershwin, whose selections he will play for the third musical program of the festival this week.
Mr. Romberg, who was trained in his native country by his father, is able to play the violin, piano, 'cello, trumpet, and drums. His favorite instrument is the organ on which he composed some of his hit tunes.
The artist has the ability of learning from memory a new piece by playing it over once, being able to scan music in whole parts, and taking three measures in a glance.
His library of music, containing 5,000 scores, ultimately will be presented to the Library of Congress, Washington.
Annual Art Exhibit Will Be on Display
The annual High School Art exhbit will be on display in the lobby of the Memorial Union building all day Friday and Saturday morning.
This exhibit has always been held in connection with the High School Art conference which is held yearly in the spring, but due to ODT restriction on travel the conference will not be held this spring.
Any junior or senior high school student may send work to be exhibited. Only 10 pieces are allowed to be exhibited from each school. Art students may submit paintings, drawings, commercial art, or handicrafts. There are no prizes given, the work of the students is sent here just to receive criticism and each piece of work has a criticism written out for it and then sent back to the teacher and child.
These criticisms are thought to raise the quality of are work over the state, and to make every child feel that his work is important. By these criticisms instead of prizes, art instructors believe that the exhibitor feels as if he is working to improve himself. These criticisms are helpful to the teachers, because by these they know if they are working toward the right goal. University students who are training to teach art find these exhibits and criticisms to be of great help to them.

around to the east of the city and cut the six-lane autobahn super highway to Brunswick. Third Army Snashes "Burrier"
The German radio said that Lt. Gen. Patton's United States Third Army had smushed the southern German province of Bavaria which the Nazis described as their "fortress barrier."
The Third gained nine miles on a 25-mile front, cleaned up enemy resistance south of Gotha and sped north to link up with United States First Army troops northwest of Muehlausen.
The Russians continued savage fighting in the heart of once-leVELY Vienna.
Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's Seventh Army sped south and east to Geislingen on the road to Stuttgart.
Germans virtually trapped at the north seaport of Breman and Ende den were reported making desperate efforts to flee those towns, increasingly menaced by steadily advancing British forces.
Other Russian troops in Czechoslovakia and beyond Vienna surged forward for an eventual junction with Allied armies sweeping forward on the Western Front. The Soviets hailed the capture of the East Prussian capital of Koenigssberg as a major triumph. Marines Gain on Okinawa.
The Ruhr pocket behind the lines was further reduced. The Ninth Army drove three miles and reached a point southeast of Essen.
Ruhr Pocket Reduced
Complementing the ground action, United States Eighth Air Force heavy bombers — 1300 strong — smashed at seven airfields for Nazi jet planes in the Berlin area.
Fighting on the vital Pacific islands of Okinawa mounted in fury but American marines driving toward the northern end of the Jap stronghold made advances up to 4000 yards.
The marines seized half of the Metebu peninsula and 10th Army Forces smashing toward the southern end of the island fought a bitter battle from cave to cave for costly minor gains.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 10, 1945
Kansan Comments
Japan Suffers Diplomatic Defeat With Cancellation of USSR Pact
Japan suffered a diplomatic defeat last week with the resignation of the Koiso cabinet and Russia's denouncement of the 5-year USSR-Japanese neutrality pact which the two nations signed April 13, 1941.
The primary cause of the cabinet's resignation and the denouncement of the pact is attributed to the success of allied victories in Europe and the Far East. The pact was signed at a time when Japan believed herself to be on the horizon of her golden opportunity—the dawning of her day of supremacy in the Orient. Under the leadership of the "younger officers," Japan made her attack on the United States, confident that Germany and Italy would keep the U.S. and Britain busy in the West while she insured her own immunity from attack by securing the neutrality pact with Russia. Little did she dream that the United Nations would become such a mighty force, that she would be swept from the sea and air, that Italy would be easily defeated, or that she would one day be threatened by invasion.
It now is evident that the pact was partly a product of Nazi ingenuity. German militarists realized the potentialities of a treaty which would relieve Japan or her worries on the Russian frontier, thereby rendering both hands free to direct an attack on Singapore. Such an offensive, they predicted, would divert American munitions and British naval strength from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At that time the Soviet army poised along the long northern frontier of Japan's continental dependency of Manchukuo was a potential restraining force on Japan's southward adventure—for that reason securing the neutrality of the Russians in 1941 was considered a major victory by Japanese militarists and nationalists.
The pact also was an advantage to Russia, however, for she was able to concentrate military attention on her western front. Today her denouncement of the neutrality pact, which she admits is no longer in tone with present conditions, is again safeguarding Soviet interests, this time in view of a Far Eastern peace settlement. In addition, the cancellation of the treaty emphasizes the solidarity of the bond among the western allies.
The resignation of the Koiso cabinet has been cited to have a causal connection with the denouncement of the pact. Most outstanding factor is the appointment of Admiral Baron Suzuki as new premier of the Japanese cabinet. Premier Suzuki was considered a "moderate" in pre-war years and an opponent of the extreme army cliques of the program of conquest. He represents the "elder statesmen" and may be front man for a Japanese peace offensive seeking to avert defeat by an effort to split the Allies—a move similar to that recently taken by Germany.
Sooners to Hear Swarthout
But Marshal Stain has exhibited a stiffening attitude against her Eastern neighbor. The denouncement of the neutrality pact renders her free to enter the war in Asia by the time the Allies have gathered forces for the kill in the Far East.
Six Tons of Freight to Troops
Dean D. M. Swarthout will speak at the second session of the A.W.S. Career conference at the University of Oklahoma on April 18. He will discuss "Music."
Since coming overseas a Railway Operating battalion in the Mediterranean theater moved more than six and a half million tons of vital freight to frontline troops.
Prof. W. W. Davis of the history department has solved everything as far as the international situation goes. To quote the professor: "We all want peace; the trouble is, everyone wants their own piece."
Then there's the one about Jack Schroll, Sigma Chi. who just loves to play bridge. Some of the boys got together for a hot game over in PT10 the other night and Jack started off to a roaring stands till bidding "the king of hearts."
If you saw Courtney Cowgill down around Potter lake about 10 p.m. Friday, it wasn't because she was thinking of going for a swim. Just the same old trick—Courtney's sisters (that's the Pi Phi's y'know) had sent her down to catch a few snipes. (Not cigarettes!)

Chicago University Asks About Survey Of K.U. Teachers
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, recently received a letter from Mrs. E.H. Storer, head of the college evaluation staff, University of Chicago, inquiring about the survey on teachers and courses which has been conducted here.
Walter Wilson Is Improving
In her letter, Mrs. Storer said that she had heard, through devious routes, about the survey which was being taken at the University of Kansas. Plans for a similar survey at the University of Chicago are being made. Mrs. Storer asked for one of the questionnaires and any advice or information which could be given.
The condition of Walter E. Wilson, state treasurer and alumnus of the University, who was stricken with paralysis Sunday morning at his home in Topeka, is slightly improved. At the Stormont hospital it was said last evening that he had regained consciousness. Mr. Wilson was graduated in pharmacy in 1895.

Alumni Squad To Have Weight And Experience
The weight and experience of the alumni team will be stacked against the spring varsity's better condition, in the football game in Haskell stadium Friday night, George Dick, the alumni coach said this morning.
win the early
Coach Dick's list of players totals only 16 so far, with three of that list yet to report; Bill Mowery, Jayhawk letterman in 1944, Clarence Douglass, All-Big Six back in 1937, and Dick Sklar, All-Big Six in 1935.
A good backfield, selected from Bob Miller, Don Faukner, and Jim Weatherby all letterman from last year; Edward Nims, a fast wingback on the 1944 varsity; and Dick himself at quarter or fullback, will carry the alumni's hopes, outweighing the varsity backfield by 10 to 20 pounds per man.
The line will average 200 pounds which, according to Henry Shenk, varsity coach, outweighs his line a good 20 pounds. With only four nights of practice however, the alumni men will be in no real condition for a game, Dick said, and will tire early.
The alumni will meet the Varsity's T-formation attack with a modification of the same, a "T-wing" formation.
Sports School Held in Rome
Allied Headquarters, Italy— Fifty American soldiers and officers recently inaugurated classes of the Mediterranean Theater's central sports school in Rome.
The school provides refresher courses in athletics to Army personnel who will serve as instructors and coaches in a post-war sports program for soldiers. Classes are held in the gymnasium and athletic grounds once used by Mussolini to train Fascist troops.
The classes will be given over a period of three months with a new cycle of students every 12 days. At the end of each cycle the soldier-students will return to duty with their outfits to begin an expansion of the unit's athletic program.
Eight civilian athletic consultants, each an expert in his field, have been assigned by the War Department to administer the coaching program. Dean of the faculty is Dr. Seward Charles Staley, director of the University of Illinois School of Physical Education.
His assistants are:
Ethan Allen, whose big league batting record was an even .300 and the "inventor" of the all-star games between the American and National Leagues.
Cecil Isbell, former Green Bay Packer player and Purdue University football coach.
William J. (Billy) Cavanagh, boxing coach at West Point since 1918.
Howard (Hobby) Hobson, baseball and basketball coach at the University of Oregon.
Bill Hargiss, University of Kansas track coach who is credited with being the discoverer of Glen Cunningham.
George T. White, Connecticut AAU commissioner and Eastern Intercollegiate Association football coach.
Dean D. Nesmith, athletic trainer at the University of Kansas.
Major E. A. Baggett, Special Service Officer, is commandant of the school.

This is one of the many precautionary measures taken by Union Pacific—and other railroads—to protect passengers and freight shipments.
A long the Union Pacific main line-between stations-a signal flashes red. The train slackens speed and stops. The engineer grabs the whistle cord...one long and three short blasts. That's a signal to the flagman. It is his duty to give adequate warning to any train following. To do so, he walks a sufficient distance to the rear to insure full protection.
Safe transportation becomes increasingly important in wartime. Trainloads of troops and essential materials are constantly on the move over Union Pacific's Strategic Middle Route uniting the East with the Pacific Coast.

Just as the flagman protects his train, so is it the job of all Americans to provide for future security by buying bonds and saving them. Thus we can help stabilize industry and encourage the American trait of individual enterprise and initiative.

K. U. War Memorials Should Be Practical Campus Says
Kansas University's memorial to the dead of World War II should take a practical form, a cross-section of students and faculty members said today.
E. C. Quigley: There should be no thought in anyone's mind other than having a complete new field house as a war memorial. It is undoubtedly the most practical and most sorely needed addition to the university. By complete field house, I mean one with a sizeable auditorium to seat thousands at a basketball game and one with a summer and winter swimming pool.
An all-university program for V-E day to be in Hoch auditorium was proposed by the majority of students and faculty, though there was some diversity of opinion within the groups concerning celebration of victory in Europe.
Campus Opinions
Students and faculty wholeheartedly vetoed the idea of a statue or a monument, placing emphasis on the addition of a new building to the campus.
Danny Watson, V-12, overseas for
Daily Kansan
two years: An addition to the Union building or something useful for students would be the only fitting memorial. There should be a celebration of V-E day, but a quiet and serious one.
Joan Veatch, editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansas: The memorial should be something practical such as scholarships, but certainly not any statues. V-E day will be a day that everybody will remember, but I don't think that a big celebration will serve the purpose, because there is much more work to be done.
E. C. Buehler, professor of speech:
An all University convocation would be a fitting observance of V-E day.
This assembly should be lead primarily by serious-minded student leaders, and should consist of a worship service and an appraisal of what V-E day means to us. There should be no parade. It is considered barbaric to get drunk and cheer at the funeral of a friend, and this applies doubly for our celebration of a war that is not yet over.

Seniors to Order Announcements By April 21
NUMBER 129
Orders for graduation announcements can now be placed in the business office, announced Hazel Jones, chairman of the senior class announcement committee.
Y. W.C.A. committees and commissions will hold a stay-at-home convention on the campus Saturday, April 14, from 3 to 8:30 p.m., to replace the cancelled national meeting planned at Grand Rapids, Michigan, Frances Janes, commission chairman, announced today.
Two groups will discuss "Leadership, and Financing the National Budget," and "Inter-racial Activity in Community Y.W.C.A." in the Kansas room in the afternoon, after which Patricia Creel's dramatic commission will present a sketch.
"All orders must be in by April 21, as the printers must have the orders to begin working on them within the next two weeks," Miss Jones explained. Samples of both announcements and of personal cards, with their accompanying price lists, are on display at the business office so that the students may make their choice immediately.
A second meeting of the entire senior class has been tentatively scheduled for Monday, April 30, according to Don Alderson, president. At this time the seniors will vote on the class memorial which will be proposed by the memorial committee. The design for the traditional peace pipes which will be smoked at the senior breakfast will also be announced at this meeting, stated Alderson.
Y.W.C.A. Convention To Be Held Saturday
Dinner will be served in the University Club room at 5:30 p.m., followed by two more discussion groups, "Y.W.C.A. Work in Other Countries," and "Public Affairs."
Alderson assumed the duties of president of the senior class when Joanne Johnson, who was elected president last spring, graduated in February. He appointed Betty Learned as vice-president to fill the vacancy which was left when he took over the duties of president.

Kansan Comments
Self Interest Cause Nations To Alter Policy
Chile announced last week, after four hours of congressional deliberation, her declaration of war against Japan—another Latin American late comer to the bandwagon of publicity claimed belligerence toward the Axis. She was preceded only a few days by Argentina's tardy announcement of her state of war with the Axis.
The military oligarchy of Argentina, although its program is in a state of chaos, has been determined to free the nation from the economic domination of Britain. For this reason they have been greatly influenced by German industrialists who have played an important part in helping the "neutral" Latin American country to achieve economic independence and stability. At the same time the Allies realized that the Nazis were imposing a Hitler-Mussolini-Franco way of life.
Long before the Chapultepec conference, the United States and other South American allies had warned Argentina that she must denounce her Nazi businessmen before she would be allowed to confer with her neighbors on postwar problems. At the recent conference in Mexico, the United Nations made it plain that they intended to keep the pressure on Argentina.
It is no coincidence, therefore, that Argentina now realizes the advisability of joining the Allies in their fight against the Axis at a time when her new enemy is staggering under the powerful blows of the United Nations. The Colonels have received the signal from Argentina's cattle owners, land barons, and industrialists who realize that the Nazis are disintegrating — that it's time to change horses—a policy shift identical to that of Franco who first congratulated Japan for her administration of the Philippines and then expressed horror at the atrocities revealed in Manila.

By CATHY PILLER
Last weekend Thelma Stutz, A.D. Pi, found herself stuck on a street in Ottawa waiting for a tardy cab to carry her to the station. Just as she heard the train whistle in the distance, a car approached. She waved at the uniformed driver, threw her bags in, and urged him in very annoyed tones to hurry. After they reached the station and he had taken her bags out, she inquired as to how much she owed him. "Lady," the driver told her, "the police are always glad to do a good turn for a damsel in distress."

For awhile Fiji Rens McClure's girls wondered why, after two dates, Rens disappeared and then a few weeks later always returned. But now that they have found out he is only making people happy by cheerening up three girls in each sorority house and doesn't like to get off his well-organized schedule, the girls all feel better about this "God's gift to women."

After several days of playing tricks on their Pi Phi sisters, Sue Schwartz and Dottie Warren decided to stop all their mischief. Everything seemed to be forgiven and forgotten until suddenly the calm was broken Friday eve by an end-it-all-forever solution carried out by the whole chapter which ended in throwing both Sue and Dottie in Potter lake. The only one who won't agree that this was a successful feat is Pat Billingsly who got so carried away over the girls' welfare that she jumped in too!
Exactly three weeks ago, R. J. Atkinson put a fine faint snake in Bill Chestnut's bed. Not a word has been said about the incident thus far. The Phi Psi's are wondering if it just up and crawled away or if Bill could be so nasty as to end a long-lasting feud by letting it run loose in the Alpha Chi house.

Godoy in Topeka
Arturo Godoy, one of the few boys to go the route with Joe Louis in a championship heavyweight bout, will make his initial Kansas appearance this evening at the Municipal auditorium in Topeka. The South American heavyweight champion will meet Jack Suzek in a three round encounter. Godoy is currently staging a comeback attempt which he hopes will land him in the Garden later in the year. The South American also lasted eight rounds in another battle with the Brown Bomber before the dusky Detroiter put him to sleep.
First Division Teams?
This being the time of the year when managers of the sixteen major league ball clubs start telling the world how strong or weak they will be around the middle of the season, it is interesting to note how many strong clubs there are going to be. According to the latest count, this will be the first time in the history of either major league that eight ball clubs will finish in the first division in both leagues.
Sideline—A headline the other day in a certain paper read: "Dodger batters weak at plate." Most interesting, we are forced to observe, but we'd like to know any other place they could possibly be in such a state of affairs.
Haegg to Go Home
Gunder Haegg, star Swedish necktie salesman and former holder on the world's middle record, announced yesterday that he had not received permission to stay in the U.S. and run in any more meets, but mus return to his employer in Sweder immediately. Haaken Lidman, however, his fellow Swede and ace hurdler, will remain for an outdoor tour that may include a west coast tour and an appearance in the Penn Relays. He may even get a chance to stay for the outdoor AAU championships, now scheduled for June 30 Lidman cracked the high hurdle mark in a Rhode Island meet the other day in a race in which all four contestants broke the existing world mark of 15.8. Lidman was timed in 14.4 over the 110 meter course.

High Schools Send Entries for Track Meet on April 21
Six Kansas high schools have sent in their entries for the 41st annual interscholastic track and field meet in Memorial stadium April 21, Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association said today.
Hanesville, Axtell, and Oksaloosa, class B; Holton, class A; and Wichita East and Atchison, class AA; have reported an average of 15 boys each.
About 40 schools, the same number as that of last year, are expected to be entered by the deadline, April 16. Mr. Falkenstein said.
The meet will include all standard events, and each school will be limited to two entries in each event.
The three classes, AA, A, and B will be used to designate the size of the school, although the official classification includes only the two, A and B.
One of the early entrants, Wichita east, was the winner of the A division title last year. Clearwater was champion in class B.

Col. W. L. McMorris, professor of military science: The memorial should be useful and not a glorified monument. It should take the form of a building or a scholarship. There should be no frivolous celebration after V-E day, because it is just like a football game with the first half finished. If there is a celebration it should be of a serious nature, a day of thanksgiving that further suffering on a European battlefield has ceased. Classes should continue as usual, but perhaps an hour service could be held in Hoch auditorium.
Mike Kuklenski, Ku Ku president and veteran: We need a place for students to go, like they have at Boulder. As for V-E day, I think we should celebrate.
Dean Henry Werner: There is only one kind of a monument and that is a living one. I am in favor of additions to the Memorial Union building and to emphasize the fact that it is a memorial. There should be no celebration after V-E day, because it is really only one phase of a large war. I want the celebration saved until after both wars are finished and then—oh, boy!
Add to Union
Charlotte Price, College junior: A building in commemoration of the war dead is my idea of a fitting tribute. Classes should be continued as usual on V-E day and no celebration except the worship services that the churches are planning.
Bill Jenson, V-12: I'd like to see an extension of the Union. As for V-E day, we might as well celebrate, for the whole nation will. I think a memorial service in Hoch is a good idea.
Beulah Morrison, professor of psychology: I was a student during the last armistice, and that day was one of unrestained joy. There should be no celebration as such, but I am in favor of a day's vacation from classes, if it is for a purpose of observance of armistice. War memorials such as the many built after the last war are of no use and should not be built this time. A memorial should honor the ones who gave so much for their country and should keep before the future generations the price of war. The memorial should be in the form of a building. People should be reminded by a memorial; they forget so easily.
Rachel VanderWerf, secretary of the Y.W.C.A.: A religious center or a research foundation established at the University would make a fine memorial. There will be celebrations and I think they had better be planned and on the serious side.

Faculty Asked to Contribute To William Allen White Foundation As Part of National Campaign
With the purpose of raising $3,000 for the use of the William Allen White foundation, a letter from the faculty commission of the foundation was sent to each faculty member of the University of Kansas today. R. Edwin Browne, publicity director, announced.
The local campaign is part of a national drive to raise $200,000 in order that the late Mr. White's "flaming spirit and example may inspire the youth of Kansas," the letter explains. No part of this fund will be used for rebuilding and equipping Fowler shops, since an appropriation for this was made in the recent session of the Kansas legislature, and no contribution will be used for the ordinary expenses of the School.
Rov Roberts Heads Committee
The income from the foundation will give the William Allen White School its own distinctive character. It is not to be "just another school of journalism," Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star and chairman of a committee soliciting newspaper editors over the nation. explains in his letter.
The foundation will provide scholarships, lectureships, publications, regional forums and conferences, and other activities designed to give K.U

The unique orchestral arrangement placed all the players facing Romberg, standing at the extreme right of the stage. Placards upon an easel at left stage announced the sequence of numbers.
Selection from two programs made up the performance. "The Rosamunde Overature" was followed by "Tales from the Vienna Woods," "Military March" from "The Desert Song," "Barcarolle" from "Tales

Dr. W.W. Peters
London — Historic Weimar, birthplace of the German republic after World War I, and the literary and intellectual center of Germany, surrendered today without a shot being fired. The mayor rode out of the city on a bicycle to surrender.
Dr. W, W. Peters, president of McPherson Colelgc, will speak at a meeting of united student religious groups on the campus at 6 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas room of the Union building. Dr. Peter's subject will be "The Christian Basis of Peace."
The talk, sponsored by the Student Religious Council, will be followed by a discussion period and refreshments.
Dr. Peters has been doing work in the fields of education and religion for 15 years. In 1932 he received his doctor's degree from the University of Illinois and taught in that University from 1928 to 1936. He was for three years, dean of Drury College in Missouri and president of Mr. Morris College in Illinois for three more years.
In the religious field, Dr. Peters is vice-president of the General Education board of the Church of the Brethren and is president of the Council of Church-Related Colleges of Kansas. He was a signer of the Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant Declaration on World Peace.

Dandelion Day Set For Next Wednesday With Picnic and Dance
For the preservation of lawn and order at the University of Kansas, Dandelion Day has been set for next Wednesday.
Digging will be concentrated in only two areas, around Frank Strong hall and in front of Watson library, Betty Jo O'Neal, Jay Jane chairman of Dandelion Day, said today. There will be no districting of the campus as in previous years.
Don Cousins' V-12 band will play for a street dance in front of Bailey chemistry laboratory from 7:30 until 9 p.m.
H-Hour of D-Day is 4:30, when students, faculty, and V-12's will begin to dig to help rid the campus of its yellow "fever."
Competition will be individual rather than group, with a $25 war bond to be awarded the best dandelion diger. Runners-up will be presented theater tickets.
Each digger must bring his own digging implement and a container. Miss O'Neal said, and diggings will be weighed in at the end of the day.
Digging will continue until 6:30, when an all-school picnic will be held in Fowler grove, with food furnished by the organized houses. Tired diggers will have their fill of sandwiches, potato chips, apples, ice cream bars, and cokes.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 12, 1945
Kansan Comments M.U. Plans for Medical School May Keep Students from K.U.
In view of Missouri's plan to establish more adequate medical education through its state university, Kansas university may lose many potential medical students from the neighbor state. It can not be said, however, that the Missouri legislators should not pass the bill providing for the last two years of medical training in Missouri. The real issue at stake is whether the school for the last two years of medical training should be established in Kansas City, Mo., or at Columbia, Mo., where the university offers the premedical training.
The primary cause of the shortage of physicians in Missouri's rural areas has been attributed to the fact that the state is not training its own doctors. When the older physicians die there are no young ones to take their places, and a critical problem has resulted—for many families living on isolated farms it would be impossible to obtain medical aid in an emergency. In many counties that once had 25 medical men, there are now three or four—and those men are more than 60 years old. There are now only 1,300 physicians serving people of Missouri outside of Kansas City and St. Louis. Of that number 812 are more than 65 years old; and 391 are older than 70.
Another reason for the need of a medical school in connection with the state university is the fact that it is almost impossible for 2-year medical students at the University of
Missouri to enter the medical schools of other states, for they take only the "cream of the crop" and limit their classes chiefly to the lower classmen in their own schools. Supporters of the medical school movement advocate that if Missouri medical students could receive training in their own state university, they would be more likely to return to the communities from which they came to practice their profession and would thereby help to alleviate the problems of rural medical care which are now so acute.
The curators of Missouri university do not agree with many Missouri doctors that the school should be established in Kansas City. The Missouri State Medical association has pointed out that no amount of spending on a hospital an dother facilities for the school could provide, in a small city such as Columbia, the variety of medical cases needed for study. The association reported that among almost 70 approved medical schools in the United States only four maintain their two-year advanced training school in cities with a population less than 60,000. Nearly all of them are in cities much larger. Those who would like to see the medical school established in Kansas City, maintain that setting up the school in Columbia would be asking the state to spend a large amount of money for facilities inferior to those that are being offered free of charge in Kansas City.

Those not in organized houses are asked to bring clothes to Meyers hall during the week of April 15 to 21. There will be a box placed in the hall for the donations, Miss Mcclure said.
The Y. W. C. A. goal is 15,000 pounds of clothing, for both winter and summer wear. At least five pounds is needed from every student on the campus to meet this quota. Those going home over the weekend may find clothes at home suitable for the drive, Miss McClure suggested.
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said, "If you have any old suits that you think you could wear for six more months, give them away."
This nation-wide clothing drive needs the support and interest of both faculty and students, Miss McClure explained.

Mr. Romberg in his pointed showoff manner played several numbers on the piano. Ann Andre, third soloist, sang "One Kiss" and "When Hearts are Young."
Other solos were "Will You Remember" by Miss Schools, "When I Grow Too Old to Dream," by Miss Byron, and "Deep in My Heart" by Miss Andre. Romberg's "Close as Pages in a Book" was sung as a duet by Misses Schools and Byron.
The female trio closed the program with "Song of Love."

Alumni is Slated To Trounce Varsity
"I'm playing for rain," said football coach Henry Shenk today when questioned concerning his hopes for a victory in the annual varsity-alumni spring football game at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at Haskell stadium.
Practically the entire varsity backfield is built around Charlie Moffett, Shenk added, and the all Big Six back last fall is now in the hospital. The varsity mentor's prayer for rain is based on the hope that a wet field would cause postponement of the game, giving Moffett time to recover and get back to the gridiron. Varsity Has a Light Backfield
"Otherwise, we haven't got a prayer," Shenk moaned. "Our backs are so little and green, that those big guys will murder us." With Moffett off the field, the varsity eleven will have no lettermen in the backfield, and only one player. Milford Collins, has even played college football previously.
The alumni line will average over 200 pounds per man, with plenty of experience at every position. The alumni backfield will boast five or six good backs who were lettermen on Crimson and Blue elevenes of the past few years, and will outweigh the varsity backs about twenty pounds per man.
Dick May Use New Plays
Shenk gloomily predicted that the alumni eleven could run last year's varsity plays and beat the spring hopefuls tomorrow evening, but he is hoping that George Dick, acting coaching of the older players, will try some new formations.
"Our boys will have the fight and scrap," Shenk concluded, "e'ven though our only hope to score is to intercept a pass or block a kick somehow."

Wilson's Practice Halted by Wind
Norman, Okla., April 12-Although he hasn't had any practice this week because of the boistrous wind. Bill Wilson, University of Oklahoma pole-vaulter, is mad enough to give a pretty good account of himself when Kansas comes here Saturday afternoon for a dual track and field meet.
The terrific Oklahoma south wind of the past five days has raised havoc with Wilson's pole vault practice and ruined the McAster boy's usually placid disposition.
When Wilson runs down the straightaway carrying his 16-foot bamboo pole, the wind often blows down the standards and the cross bar ahead of him before he can reach them to try for the height.
On other occasions a sudden gust of wind prevented his hooking the vaulting pole in the planting box.
In desperation, Wilson turned the standards around so that the cross bars couldn't blow off. However this boomeranged on him too, if he cleared the height, the breeze carried him clear out of the landing pit. If he missed, he couldn't knock the cross bar off and laying upon it, was blown to the ground with the bar and the standards on top of him.
Baffled, Wilson finally threw his vaulting pole up in the stadium, kicked the cross bar out in the middle of the field and walked off.
The Sooner vaulter hasn't had a minute of practice this week. And this is the week he wanted very much to practice. Wilson's opponent here Saturday is Harvey Morrow, Jayhawker ace, who has beaten Wilson four times out of five the past two years.

A 1945 Kentucky Derby?
By EARL BARNEY
Optimistic managers of the Kentucky Derby are preparing to stage their annual classic providing the war in Europe is over in the next few weeks. Entry blanks for the throbred racing feature were mailed yesterday, conditioned on the lifting of the government ban on racing—promised shortly after VE day. This year's mile and a quarter race of the Roses will carry a purse of $75,000 plus accumulated entry fees, in addition to the traditional gold cup.
Date. Is Indefinite
Originally the date for the seventy-first Derby was May 5, but the racing ban clouded the issue. Now horsemen are saying that Derby candidates would have to be conditioned for a month after the date of the race is definitely known. This would place the date of the race sometime in the latter part of June, if the war ware to end by the first part of May.
Over 500 race horses are now quartered at the Downs, and many are on the breeding and training farms around Lexington. Derby possibilities this year include Free For All, Pot O'Luck, Flying On, Best Effort, and Bon Mann.
Winn Is Optimistic
The following notice was included in the book of entry blanks, signed by Colonel Matt. J. Winn, president of the Downs: "As we go to press with these entry blanks for our spring stakes, we, of course, do not know when VE day will be or what may be the wishes of the War Mobilization Director. We are sending out blanks in order to be ready to proceed with plans for our meet if, and when, such action is agreeable to the government. In the event it should be decided not to run one or more of these stakes, entry fees for such stake or stakes will be refunded."

Fredonia Relays Are Tomorrow
Entries in the Fredonia reels, one of the annual warmups for the Kansas relays here at K. U., have been fair this year. Fifteen schools have entered the meet scheduled for Friday, while about six more schools are expected to compete. Feature of the relays this year is the creation of a new class, AA, into which the larger class A schools will be placed. The relays to be held here in Lawrence April 21 will also be divided in such a way, giving the medium sized schools at least a fighting chance. The Fredonia reels together with the Sterling reals are held each year just before the Kansas relays, thus providing a warmup for aggressive Kansas high schools.

For the preservation of lawn and order at the University of Kansas, Dandelion Day has been set for next Wednesday.

Significance of Democratic Battle Now Realized as Harry S. Truman Takes Over Presidential Duties
The true significance of the battle in the Democratic convention last summer will strike millions of American citizens today, for the man decided upon as a compromise between two opposing sections in the Democratic party is the new president of the United States—Harry S. Truman. Only five months ago, voters who cast Democratic ballots were mindful that the former senator from Missouri might become the chief executive of the United States at the most crucial period in the history of the nation.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 12, 1945
M.U. Plans for Medical School May Keep Students from K.U.
In view of Missouri's plan to establish more adequate medical education through its state university, Kansas university may lose many potential medical students from the neighbor state. It can not be said, however, that the Missouri legislators should not pass the bill providing for the last two years of medical training in Missouri. The real issue at stake is whether the school for the last two years of medical training should be established in Kansas City, Mo., or at Columbia, Mo., where the university offers the premedical training.
The primary cause of the shortage of physicians in Missouri's rural areas has been attributed to the fact that the state is not training its own doctors. When the older physicians die there are no young ones to take their places, and a critical problem has resulted—for many families living on isolated farms it would be impossible to obtain medical aid in an emergency. In many counties that once had 25 medical men, there are now three or four—and those men are more than 60 years old. There are now only 1,300 physicians serving people of Missouri outside of Kansas City and St. Louis. Of that number 812 are more than 65 years old, and 391 are older than 70.
Another reason for the need of a medical school in connection with the state university is the fact that it is almost impossible for 2-year medical students at the University of
Missouri to enter the medical schools of other states, for they take only the "cream of the crop" and limit their classes chiefly to the lower classmen in their own schools. Supporters of the medical school movement advocate that if Missouri medical students could receive training in their own state university, they would be more likely to return to the communities from which they came to practice their profession and would thereby help to alleviate the problems of rural medical care which are now so acute.
The curators of Missouri university do not agree with many Missouri doctors that the school should be established in Kansas City. The Missouri State Medical association has pointed out that no amount of spending on a hospital an dother facilities for the school could provide, in a small city such as Columbia, the variety of medical cases needed for study. The association reported that among almost 70 approved medical schools in the United States only four maintain their two-year advanced training school in cities with a population less than 60,000. Nearly all of them are in cities much larger. Those who would like to see the medical school established in Kansas City, maintain that setting up the school in Columbia would be asking the state to spend a large amount of money for facilities inferior to those that are being offered free of charge in Kansas City.

Roosevelt devoted the 1928 campaign almost entirely to the interests of his friend, former Governor Smith, but when the votes were counted he had been elected governor and Smith had lost the state for the presidency.
The first year of his term as Governor was smooth and successful but in the last year he had been harassed by scandals involving Tammany politicians and others who had given him support. Many though these developments seriously hampered him when he sought the Democratic omination for the presidency in 1932.
Roosevelt was a native of Hyde Park, N. Y. He was graduated from Harvard with the class of 1904 and in 1907 from the Columbia University School of Law.

This gift was possible because the San Diego museum had received a large private collection of bets. Since many of these bats were duplicates, they wanted to place these specimens in a center of research and advanced teaching, so they sent them here, Dr. Hoffmeister said.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 12, 1945
Alumni is Slated To Trounce Varsity
"I'm playing for rain," said football coach Henry Shenk today when questioned concerning his hopes for a victory in the annual varsity alumni spring football game at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at Haskell stadium.
Practically the entire varsity backfield is built around Charlie Moffett, Shenk added, and the all Big Six back last fall is now in the hospital. The varsity mentor's prayer for rain is based on the hope that a wet field would cause postponement of the game, giving Moffett time to recover and get back to the gridiron. Varsity Has a Light Backfield
"Otherwise, we haven't got a prayer," Shenk moaned. "Our backs are so little and green, that those big guys will murder us." With Moffett off the field, the varsity eleven will have no lettermen in the backfield, and only one player, Milford Collins, has even played college football previously.
The alumni line will average over 200 pounds per man, with plenty of experience at every position. The alumni backfield will boast five or six good backs who were lettermen on Crimson and Blue elevenes of the past few years, and will outweigh the varsity backs about twenty pounds per man.
Dick Mav Use New Plays
Shenk gloomyly predicted that the alumni eleven could run last year's varsity plays and beat the spring hopefuls tomorrow evening, but he is hoping that George Dick, acting coaching of the older players, will try some new formations.
"Our boys will have the fight and scrap," Shenk concluded, "even though our only hope to score is to intercept a pass or block a kick somehow."

Wilson's Practice Halted by Wind
Norman, Okla., April 12- Although he hasn't had any practice this week because of the boistrous wind, Bill Wilson, University of Oklahoma pole-vaulter, is mad enough to give a pretty good account of himself when Kansas comes here Saturday afternoon for a dual track and field meet.
The terrific Oklahoma south wind of the past five days has raised havoc with Wilson's pole vault practice and ruined the McAlester boy's usually placid disposition.
When Wilson runs down the straightaway carrying his 16-foot bamboo pole, the wind often blows down the standards and the cross bar ahead of him before he can reach them to try for the height.
On other occasions a sudden gust of wind prevented his hooking the vaulting pole in the planting box.
In desperation, Wilson turned the standards around so that the cross bars couldn't blow off. However this boomeranged on him too, if he cleared the height, the breeze carried him clear out of the landing pit. If he missed, he couldn't knock the cross bar off and laying upon it, was blown to the ground with the bar and the standards on top of him.
Baffled, Wilson finally threw his vaulting pole up in the stadium, kicked the cross bar out in the middle of the field and walked off.
The Sooner vaulter hasn't had a minute of practice this week. And this is the week he wanted very much to practice. Wilson's opponent here Saturday is Harvey Morrow, Jayhawker ace, who has beaten Wilson four times out of five the past two years.

A 1945 Kentucky Derby?
Optimistic managers of the Kentucky Derby are preparing to stage their annual classic providing the war in Europe is over in the next few weeks. Entry blanks for the thorbed racing feature were mailed yesterday, conditioned on the lifting of the government ban on racing -promised shortly after VE day. This year's mile and a quarter race of the Roses will carry a purse of $75,000 plus accumulated entry fees, in addition to the traditional gold cup.
Date Is Indefinite
Originally the date for the seventy-first Derby was May 5, but the racing ban clouded the issue. Now horsemen are saying that Derby candidates would have to be conditioned for a month after the date of the race is definitely known. This would place the date of the race sometime in the latter part of June, if the war ware to end by the first part of May.
Over 500 race horses are now quartered at the Downs, and many are on the breeding and training farms around Lexington. Derby possibilities this year include Free For All, Pot O'Luck, Flying On, Best Effort, and Bon Mann.
Winn Is Optimistic
The following notice was included in the book of entry blanks, signed by Colonel Matt. J. Winn, president of the Downs: "As we go to press with these entry blanks for our spring stakes, we, of course, do not know when VE day will be or what may be the wishes of the War Mobilization Director. We are sending out blanks in order to be ready to proceed with plans for our meet if, and when, such action is agreeable to the government. In the event it should be decided not to run one or more of these stakes, entry fees for such stake or stakes will be refunded."

Fredonia Relays Are Tomorrow
Entries in the Fredonia relays, one of the annual warmups for the Kansas relays here at K. U., have been fair this year. Fifteen schools have entered the meet scheduled for Friday, while about six more schools are expected to compete. Feature of the relays this year is the creation of a new class, AA, into which the larger class A schools will be placed. The relays to be held here in Lawrence April 21 will also be divided in such a way, giving the medium sized schools at least a fighting chance. The Fredonia relays together with the Sterling relays are held each year just before the Kansas relays, thus providing a warmup for aggressive Kansas high schools.

Americans 40 Miles From Reich Capital
International News Service
Despite a security blackout, the following reports were received:
The triumphal march of allied armies everywhere in the world continues today as the tottering Reich was dealt staggering blows, but allied successes were tragically beclouded with the death of President Rosevelt.
Troops of the United States Ninth army which crossed the Elbe at Magdeburg may now be at points less than 40 miles from Berlin. Unconfirmed Paris broadcasts insisted that Allied paratroopers have been dropped in advance of the fast-rolling tanks, possibly only 15 or 20 miles from the German capital.
Units of the United States First army already may have penetrated into the outskirts of Leipzig, key communication center and railway hub of central Germany.
The hard-riding Third army, under command of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., is well on its way to Dresden, logical point for a junction with Soviet troops advancing from the east.
Moscow reported intensification of Soviet drives against Berlin from the Odor river bridgehead. A joint Allied-Russian push into Berlin was a distinct possibility to be reckoned with in the next few days.

Friday, 13th, Comes As Anti-Climax Today
Friday the 13th holds little significance today for students and faculty, who feel with the entire nation and world, that the traditionally unlucky day came one day early.
Troops on the western front, informed last night of the death of their commander-in-chief, are surging toward Berlin and may be in the city before the end of the day
Friday the 13th may be a lucky day after all!
Kansan Publishes Early Extra Edition
The University Daily Kansan, by publishing one of the earliest extra editions in the country, yesterday speeded to the campus the news of the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. First word came to the Journalism building at 4:55 p.m. An hour later, at 5:58 p.m., the extra edition was rolling off the press. Within a half hour, the circulation carriers had delivered-1,500 copies tgroup houses and to several campus distribution stations.
The regular press run had just been completed, but the print shop employees had not yet left when the news flash came. Within five minutes the crew was at work, making over the type forms for the extra.
Smooth co-operative between the printers, the student staff members, and other students who volunteered made the speedy extra possible.
K. U. Whistle To Blow When Nazis Surrender

If the proclamation comes in the morning, students are to assemble in Hoeh auditorium at the 11:30 hour for an official recognition program. If the news comes in the afternoon, the program will be at 7:30 the same evening. If the declaration of V-E day is at night, the all-school assembly will be at 11:30 the following morning.
This asserably program will be K. U.'s official observance of V-E day,
Audience Solemn At President's Death Hears Hymn of Praise
In memory of the President, a solemn audience stood in a moment of silent prayer last night before hearing the appropriately reverent "Hymn of Praise" given by members of the School of Fine Arts at their annual Festival concert.
Dean D. M. Swarthout lead the University A Cappella choir and Symphony orchestra in Mendelssohn's sacred cantata, which opened with the impressive chorus, "All That Hath Life and Breath, Sing to the Lord."
Meribah Moore, soprano, Irene Peabody, mezzo-soprano, and Joseph Wilkins, tenor, sang solo and duet roles. The chorus closed the 30-minute number with "Ye Nations, Offer to the Lord."
"The Legend of Miana," done in three parts, was sung by the Women's Glee club and directed by Irene Peabody. Norma Jean Lutz, soprano, gave an outstanding solo performance, and Frances Sartori gave the flute obbligato. Anne Krehbiel was accompanist for the number.
Campus Flags at Half Mast In Mourning for President
Fletcher's "Song of Victory" was sung by the choir and accompanied by the orchestra and Prof. L. E. Anderson at the organ. The concert came to a close with the words "God save our Motherland! Land of the Free!"
Dean Swarthout announced that (continued to page three)
Flags on the campus today are flying at half staff in the mourning of the death of President Roosevelt.
By an order of President Harry S. Truman, flags on all federal buildings will be flown at half-staff for the next 30 days. Cuban and Porto Rican flags will fly at half-mast for three days, and Argentina has decided upon eight days of mourning.
Special Train Takes Body To White House
Aboard President Roosevelt's Funeral Train, Warm Springs, Ga.—(INS)—Franklin Delano Roosevelt began his final homeward journey today.
The body of America's great wartime president, stilled by death, was placed aboard the presidential special train shortly before 10 a.m., at this little wayside Georgia station.
A few moments later, the sad journey back to the White House for funeral services, and on to the Roosevelt ancestral home overlooking the Hudson River at Hyde Park, N. Y., had begun.
The funeral train, with the president's grief-stricken widow and the sorrowing members of the little secretarial staff who accompanied "The Boss" on his journeys, will arrive in a mourning capitol at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Funeral services will be held Saturday in the east room of the White House.
Mr. Roosevelt's body will not lie in state for public view.
In Warm Springs, Ga., a crowd of several hundred friends and neighbors of the Georgia countryside were gathered at the railroad siding where the late president's body was placed aboard the presidential special train.
Quickly assuming the fallen mantle of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Mr. Truman summoned the army, navy, and air corps high commands to the white house for a war conference which lasted 50 minutes. Secretary Stettinius conferred with him also.
Mrs. Roosevelt walked slowly to the train on the arm of Secretary Stephen Early, and Vice-Admiral McIntyre, the President's personal physician. A double lane of 2,000 paratroopers from Fort Benning surged shoulder-to-shoulder, rifles at salute.
Washington — (INS) — President Harry S. Truman, overseas veteran of the first world war, today assumed active command of the nation's armed forces, with a pledge to carry on the global conflict to a successful conclusion on all fronts.
President Truman proclaimed Saturday, April 14, as "a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States" in honor of Mr. Roosevelt.

The death of Mr. Roosevelt, 31st president of the United States, at 3:35 p.m. yesterday, cast a pall of deep sorrow over Washington.
From Capitol hill to Embassy row, scores of diplomats, congressmen, labor leaders, politicians, and "common men," paid their respects to the departed chief executive, who died on the threshold of the greatest Allied military victories in Europe and the Pacific.
Among messages of condolence pouring into Washington were those from Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshall Josef Stalin. Churchill said Mr. Roosevelt's death was the "loss of the British nation and of the cause of freedom in every land," and, to himself personally, a "dear and cherished friendship which was forged in the fire of war."
In England, the British house of commons adjourned today immediately after assembling, in respect to the late president. Condolance Messages Sent

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 13, 1945
Kansan Comments Fellow Countryman Must Strive To Achieve Goals of Great Leader
"He died in action, on the road to victory," was one commentator's statement on the death of President Roosevelt. The President, too, made the supreme sacrifice. The Commander-in-Chief gave his life in the fight for democratic ideals just as did those who now lie still on the battlefields.
It is up to us, the fellow countrymen of one of the greatest leaders of all time, to keep alive the ideals for which he gave his life—to bring to realization the work that he had planned but did not have time to complete.
It is time to pledge ourselves again to democratic ideals, to achieve the goals set before us that our President may not have died in vain, for "He stands before the nation and the world, the champion of human liberty and dignity. He has rescued our people from the ravages of economic disaster. His rare foresight and magnificent courage have saved our nation from the assault of international brigands and dictators. Fulfilling the ardent hope of his life, he has already laid the foundation of enduring peace for a troubled world and the well-being for our nation. All mankind is his debtor. His life and services have been a great blessing to humanity."
This last paragraph of the 1944
Independents Decide On Direct Primary
Plans for selecting candidates for the University election were decided upon at an Independent council meeting last night, Rosalie Erwin, president, announced.
Election candidates will be selected by petition and these persons will be nominated by direct primary action. Students nominated will be candidates in the all student election May 17.
Miss Erwin will appoint persons to the finance and primary elections committees before next Thursday when a mass meeting of all Independent women will be held.
The Old Clothes party to be held April 20, will be under the auspices of the I. S. A. and will be for all Independent students.
Democratic party platform has new significance as a tribute to the leader for which it was written.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn into office in March, 1933, his courageous words gave immediate hope and renewed faith to a nation hysterical and almost beaten by economic depression. Last night, as Harry S. Truman was sworn in as his successor, Roosevelt's inaugural message of 1933 still rallies the nation and the world to have faith in the power of man to solve problems that seem insurmountable:
"... We need not shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.
"... The only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
"In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days."

Students, faculty, and employees of Kansas University today joined the nation and the world in deep mourning at the loss of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Despite political views campus reaction to the President's death was almost stereotyped in a simple, sincere grief.
K. U. Grieves President's Death As Nation Goes Into Mourning
Mary Breed, College sophomore; Despite my political views, I feel it is the worst possible thing that could happen now. I immediately started worrying about Truman.
L. R. Lind, professor of Greek and Latin: It is a great blow to all liberty-loving people and we will all have to work harder than ever before. As for Truman, if he has any independence at all, he will go on as Mr. Roosevelt would have done. Truman needs our faith above all else.
Eric Eulich, Business junior: My first thought was of Truman, and what a poor substitute he would be.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College: It is a great tragedy for a nation to lose a great leader in times like these. We had looked to Mr. Roosevelt to see us through the war and the peace settlements to follow. Perhaps a personal loss is greater than the loss of a nation's leader, but as individuals always fight and get back on their feet, so will our nation recover from this great shock. Truman needs our backing. I think it is unspunging to damn a man before he's had a chance to prove himself. We must give him a chance
Mary Morrill, editor of the Jaya-hawker: I couldn't think or feel anything except how very sorry I was. I do feel that Mr. Truman will carry on as Roosevelt has planned.
Mr. Richardson, a carpenter working in Fraser: Politics don't enter into my feelings now at all. I did
Lonnie Kelley, president of Y. W.
C. A.; I didn't believe it at first.
My first concern was for the international situation, and the loss of a man whose diplomacy and contacts meant so much for the peace.
not always agree with Mr. Roosevelt,
but I liked him. He wore himself out for the United States.
Gene Cernforth, V-12: I feel he's one of the greatest presidents we have ever had. Of course, I wonder about Truman.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics: The loss of our president is a loss to the world of a fine man who knew the international set-up thoroughly. We must learn that no man is indispensable, and that we can carry on. I hope and think that the new president of the United States will prove to the world that he is an able successor to Mr. Roosevelt.
Patricia Maxwell, College freshman: The death of Mr. Roosevelt now will leave him a place in history with Lincoln, whereas if he'd lived he probably would have been placed along with Wilson in the history books.

COLLEGE FADS AND FANCIES CLASS OF 1850
Fads and fancies in college costumes are by no means modern phenomena. Here is a gay undergraduate of the Class of 1850. Observe his flowing collar and tie, his super expanse of Panama brim, and his studied air of nonchalance.
This was in 1850, when America was basking in peace. The Golden West was opening up, and Express Service was keeping pace. Today, there are few fads and fancies on the college campus. They have given place to the uniformity and efficiencies of war time. Thousands of students are concentrated on the needs of the nation in arms.
Railway Express is devoting its nationwide services, both rail and air, primarily to speeding war material. To help all concerned, you can do three simple things with your 1945 home packages and baggage: Pack securely—address clearly and adequately—avoid abbreviating state names.

Truman Offers Services
President Truman's first official announcement was that the San Francisco conference would go on as scheduled. "It will be my effort to carry on as I believe President Roosevelt would have done and I am therefore asking the cabinet to stay with me," the 32nd president said in assuring that he would carry out Roosevelt's policies. The new president further stated that he would hold no news conference in the immediate future.
When notified of the President's death by Mrs. Roosevelt, Mr. Truman asked "What can I do?"

The annual spring contest between the varsity football squad and the alumni will be played at 8 o'clock this evening in Haskell stadium. Henry Shenk, head football coach, will have charge of the varsity players, while the alums will be under the tutelage of George Dick, former all Big Six end for KU.
The varsity candidates used last evening's practices to brush up on kick-offs and puncting. Milford Collins will probably carry most of the burden in the latter department. Shenk plans to experiment with the newly acquired T-formation, while Dick has announced that he will use a variation of the same system.
Coach Shenk was still none to optimistic over the fact that his charges will be no match for the bruisings which the alums are expected to hand out under the lights tonight. Experience, the backbone of the alumni eleven, will be almost entirely lacking on the varsity team since some of the players have never played any high school football.
The contest will close the 1945 football season until early next autumn, when the call for the fall squad will be issued.

The western front received the news at midnight and all troops in that area were notified at once. Gaiely in Paris subsided within three minutes after the word reached there. American soldiers were said to have "vanished" from the streets, Moscow heard the news before 3 a.m. and Churchill was notified just as he was retiring.
Charles De Gualle ordered all flags be flown at half staff in France and expressed his sorrow that the world had lost one of its greatest leaders. A Russian ambassador stated "his death is a great loss to all the people of the world." Churchill made no statement until after he had announced the president's death to the House of Commons at 11 a.m. today.
Pope Pius cabled both Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Truman. Lady Chiang Kai-shek sent her deepest sympathy and Governor Thomas E. Dewey wired a message of "deepest sympathy" to Mrs. Roosevelt. Herbert Hoover, only living ex-president said "While we mourn the President's death, we shall march forward."

Clothing Drive Begins; 15,000 Pounds Goal
With a goal of 15,000 pounds of clothing or five pounds from each student and faculty member, the campus drive in the United Nations Clothing collection started yesterday under the direction o the F.Y.W.C.A.
The first collection will be made from organized houses tomorrow, and the final collection will be made Saturday, Madelon McClure, chairman of the world community service commission, announced tday.
Clothes Needed Badly
In the liberated countries of Europe alone, more than 125,000,000 persons are in need of clothing, shoes, and bedding. Good substantial used clothing, for both winter and summer wear is needed, Miss McClure said. Although the clothing need not be in perfect repair, it must be useful to

War Not Inevitable Declares Dr. Peters To Religious Groups
Dr. Peters, one of the signers of the Pattern of Peace—a declaration by Jewish, Catholic and Protestant churches, was brought here by the Student Religious Council in preparation for the Miniature World Peace Conference to be held next fall. He spoke on the Christian basis of peace and pledged his generation to a "more serious effort and better job this time."
"War is human nature, but it is not human nature controlled by the intellectual and the spiritual." Dr. W. W. Peters, president of McPherson College, told assembled student religious groups in the Kansas room last night.
'Winning the Peace' Now Considered
"I feel encouraged," Dr. Peters said,
"because, during the last war, we were not even talking about winning the peace as almost everyone is doing now. We actually thought the job

Peace Conference Postponed Until Fall
The student world peace conference planned for this spring has been postponed until next fall. Betty Bixby, chairman of the organizing committee, announced today. The student religious council and other representatives who would have been delegates at the convention felt that the plans could be more adequately prepared and sponsored later; she said.
An organizing committee with representatives from every organization has begun planning for an all-university program, with convocations and meetings, to be held next fall. The administration can cooperate more fully then, Miss Bixby said, and new developments from the San Francisco conference can be considered.
The positions of Russia and other European countries in regard to international peace will be more certain by fall, she added. A definite date for the conference will be decided later.
Eastwood Rides But Rain Stops 150-Mile Jaunt
Prof. Raymond Eastwood, department of drawing and painting was late to class today for the first time in 20 years.
And all because of the elements.
The story started at 11 a.m. yesterday when Professor Eastwood boarded his two-wheeler at his family home in Coffeyville, some 150 miles south of Lawrence.
At 12:30 p.m. heavy rain forced him to take refuge under a graveyard tree in the tiny village of Morehead.
When the rain stopped, the professor was thoroughly soaked, but un-daunted. He rode for two hours more, when headwinds became so strong he had to gee off and walk, wheeling his "bike" alongside.
That was fine for passengers going to the big city, but it didn't get Prof. Eastwood to Lawrence.
At Thayer, he dismantled the "bike" and boarded a bus. But a few miles later flood water on the highway made the bus detour at Jola, and go through Ft. Scott to Kansas City.
This morning, after hours of waiting, he started to take a 6:45 bus for the University.
"You can't bring that bicycle on here," the driver told him.
"But I've brought it with me all the way from Coffeyville," Eastwood cried. "I've ridden it, and pushed it, and carreid it, and I'd feel as if I were deserting an old friend to leave it now"
The bus driver won, though. Prof.
Eastwood expects to get his bicycle
(by express) just any day now.
Karski to Speak On Polish Campaign
And he plans to consult the weatherman before taking future trips.
Jan Karski, a member of the Polish underground and Russian prisoner of war, will be presented by the community lecture course in Fraser theater at 8:20 p.m. tonight. Activity tickets will admit students.
Experiences in the Polish campaigns as an officer in the artillery will comprise his talk this evening. "Story of a Secret State" a book by Mr. Karski, was among the Books of the Month two years ago.
Mr. Karski will speak informally with political science students in the Union building at 4:30 today.
Truman Affirms War Goal As Allied Troops Push On
'Don't Stop the Review Men Overseas Request
Truman Tells Aims In Talk to Congress; No War Leader Shift
"Whatever you do, don't stop publishing the Kansan Review," wrote a service man from the Philippines.
Despite the uncertainty of the weather, students will dig deep on D-Day in an attempt to win the $25 war bond that is being offered to the best posie-puller. Runners-up will receive theater tickets.
The new president told the world through a joint session of Congress that he would carry on, "with all my strength and with all my heart" those ideals of liberty and peace which Franklin Delano Roosevelt had proclaimed. There was a running note of personal humility and religious reverence in Mr. Truman's first presidential address.
Pres. Harry S. Truman today reiterated the United Nations' goal of "unconditional surrender" for Germany and Japan, promised a world peace organization to end all wars, and pledged an administratio of vision, courage, and tolerance.
Diggers to Vie For War Bond
This appeal, similar to others, caused the University Daily Kansan board to resume today the publication of the weekly newspaper with this issue combining two weeks of campus news.
International News Service
In reaffirming the United Nations goal of smashing Germany and Japan into "unconditional surrender," Mr. Truman declared there would be no "unnecessary or unjustified suffering" imposed upon the enemy people.
He closed with a dramatic prayer, to the Almighty God to give him "an understanding heart to judge thy people" and to "discern between good and bad."
Betty Jo O'Neal, Jay Jane chairman, said that rain would not alter D-Day plans unless it begins raining early Wednesday. If the weather man orders an early rain, then D-Day will be postponed. However, if it starts raining late in the afternoon, students are to assemble at the
Through a plan by which the newspaper will be sponsored each week by a different organization, the Kansan Review will be given without cost to individuals or their group representatives in amounts not to exceed five copies. In larger amounts there will be a small charge to pay for part of the cost.

Truman Closes With Prayer
Ruth Tippin is editor and Dorthe McGill, College senior, is manager of the publication.
The paper this week was sponsored by the Independent Student association and by the All-Student Council.
Resumption of publication came after an appeal from service men. It was discovered that the Kansan Review, sent first class in personal letters, provides speedier news to the men overseas and is eagerly sought. Newspapers sent by the publisher take weeks and even months to reach the rapidly moving armies, but

Kaw Wakarusa Flood Waters Threaten Area
Possibility of floods as dangerous as those of last year are reported by the Chamber of Commerce as the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers continue rising.
The 23.3 foot crest of the Kaw is expected to be reached at midnight tonight following a 19.6 foot mark at 9 a.m. today. Lowlands to the south are covered by the slowly-rising Wakarusa.
Following 3.8 inches of rain over the weekend, Topeka expects the Kansas river to reach a crest of 25 or 26 feet there before the end of the day. The river stood at 22.1 feet in Topeka this morning.
Buses from Tulsa have dispensed operations, since last night, the Santa Fe bus depot reports. Buses from Wamego to Manhattan are detouring off highway 40 which is flooded. East bound buses are still in operation.
Santa Fe Trains from the west stopped arriving last night, and none are expected to arrive today, the Santa Fe depot reports. One train from the east arrived eight hours late this morning. All Union Pacific trains are coming through as scheduled.
Most of the difficulty arising from floods is south of Ottawa where the Marais des Cygnes was four feet out of its banks last night at Quenemo. Lowlands between Sedgwick and Wichita were beginning to flood.

Two Fresh Attacks Shake Reich Again; Reds a Triple Threat
Two fresh allied offensives, one from the south and another from the east rocked the tottering foundations of Nazi Germany today.
(International News Service)
With 18 U.S. Ninth army divisions massed at the Elbe river for the final drive on Berlin and the Third army only eight miles from the frontier of Czechoslovakia, American troops in Italy opened a general attack all along the line.
A Triple Threat from Russia
Eleven B-29's Missing Over Tokyo
While the air strikes in Japan were blessed with success Adm. Chester W. Nimitz revealed that Yank troops occupied Keisu island in the Kerama group west of Okinawa.
Eleven B-29's Missing Over Tokyo In the Pacific, 11 B-29 Super-Fortresses are missing from the Sunday attack "in very large force" on industrial areas in southwestern Tokyo, the war department announced today.
Meanwhile French troops intensified their assaults against Bordeaux, Nazi-held port on the Atlantic coast.
At the same time, according to Berlin announcements, the army of Soviet Russia set in motion a triple threat. One mighty Soviet group struck from bridgeheads along the Oder river straight for Berlin. A second attack to the north, bringing the great Baltic port of Stettin under direct artillery fire for the first time. A third drove powerfully east of Vienna along the approaches to Berchtesgaden and Adolf Hitler's national redoubt in the Bavarian Alps.
A short memorial service for Franklin D. Roosevelt was held yesterday afternoon in Hoch auditorium by the Navy V-12 unit of the University.
V-12 Unit Holds Memorial Service
In the Philippines, three powerful American columns poured out from three directions from Jap-held Baguio, summer capital of the islands.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 16, 1945
Kansan Comments
All University Will Benefit By Foundation
All members of the University faculty have received letters from the faculty committee of the William Allen White Foundation in which they were invited to contribute to the $200,000 fund. The faculty goal has been set at $3,000. Appropriations from the fund will be used only for furthering the means of giving students and faculty members a better understanding of the world today and their part in its affairs.
By contributing to the fund of the Foundation, faculty members will give material aid to scholarship, lectureships, regional conferences, and publications—all services which will be available to the entire University. Mr. White was internationally known because he fought for tolerance and against bigotry—he sought always to spread knowledge. Members of the Foundation committee believes, therefore, that the best way to commemorate Mr. White is to establish a fund which would be the means of carrying on his great work—in truth a living memorial to ideals that will never die.
Actually the William Allen White Foundation is dedicated to the service of the entire state and of the University, its faculty and students, not merely to those connected with the new William Allen White School of Journalism. The foundation is not a part of the school—its headquarters, for convenience and appropriateness, are to be established in the School of Journalism—a memorial to a great Kansas editor, beloved by the world—a former student of the University.
Leaders of the foundation movement believed that the School of Journalism commemorating the Kansas editor would be an appropriate headquarters for the memorial, and, realizing the potentialities of the Foundation, University officials and the board of regents, approved of its establishment. They believed that by contracting lecturers and educators of wide renown, the University would grow as a great center of learning. Members of every department would benefit because they would become better acquainted with representatives of the whole field of modern thought.
Faculty members will have reason to be proud of their contributions that will mean so much to the University, for not only will they receive many of the benefits of the Foundation, but they will be helping to carry on the work of William Allen White and all that he stood for in American life.

DON'T STOP--wander into every meeting on the hill—Oh! How they do get around. Wednesday, Bill Chestnut attended the YWCA clothing drive meeting. Of course, he was a little out-numbered by the opposite sex, but what male isn't these days. Maybe it was just the case of the president having to find new clothes for his brother Phi Psil's. You know, cords and ski sweaters do wear out with time.

“If students could only realize the eagerness of the former KU, students and graduates for campus news, they would mail them widely and regularly.” Miss Tippin, the editor said after having received urgent appeals for more Kansan Reviews. “One potential University student even sent a cartoon he had drawn of a doughboy in a trench reading the Kansan Review.
Copies may be obtained at once at the Kansan business office. Representatives of houses may obtain copies for their organizations at the time they call for the University Daily a Kansan.

Rock Chalk Talk

SCOTT
Harem-scarem —Chick Kouns is having his troubles with his harem in the Kansan advertising department. One of the many things which add to his troubles are the voices of Pebble Beach, Cathy Piller, Pat Glover, not to mention business manager, Nancy Tomlinson, babbling over the phone when he calls to make a date with Marge, his Chi Ogal. It is even a feat for this super ad salesman to talk himself out of those predicaments.
***
KAT's and dog—The Theta's are having quite a time with their new addition—a doggie named Smudge. She has four white socks, a white tip on her tail and a very dirty face. Saddy Phipps and Marge Snyder are responsible for this outcast of dogdog, but the KAT's love her just the same—even though she does drink their cokes, smoke their cigarettes, and eat their pins. They are thinking seriously of naming her Smudge Pot.

Brain work—The other night sitting on the gym steps, the Dee Gee's noticed the number of chimneys (about the only things that do smoke these days) on the chemistry building. After much deliberation, they found the number to be 22. Carol Stuart and Bobbie Field were stumped as to why there should be so many chimneys on one building until "Abe" Lincoln came up with the bright remark that one was erected every time a chemistry student received a degree. After completing a chem course, one usually gets a monument—only it's made of granite and inscribed with the life history.

Loss to Alumni 7-0 Ends Season Of Spring Practice for Varsity
A touchdown late in the fourth period on a pass from Bob Miller to George Dick gave the University alumni a 7-0 victory over the Varsity at Haskell stadium Friday night. Threatening weather kept the attendance down.
Neither goal was threatened until the final period. With but four minutes to play, Miller tossed a pass to Dick for a distance of 10 yards, and the quarterback carried the ball 12 yards farther to score standing up. Bill Chest dropkicked the extra point.
The game wound up four weeks of spring practice for the University squad. It will open the season Saturday night, Sept. 22, against T.C.U under the flood lights of Ruppert stadium in Kansas City.
The game Friday night showed that Coaches Henry Shenk and Elmer Schaake must develop a passer and a kicker before next fall if the team is to be effective. Jim Weatherby, punting for the alumni, kept the Varsity back in their own territory most of the evening.
Charlie Moffett has been ill for a week and was unable to play against the alumni. Hub Ulrich, K.U. All Big Six end a few years ago, played end for the grads. Dick, who made the touchdown was honorary 1943 Jayhawker captain.

"Night Club Girl"
Line prospects seem to be a little better with a reserve list giving depth to the forward wall now bolstered by the return of six lettermen. Gallaher and Paetz, ends; Cole and Bond, tackles; Fathauer, veteran guard; and Riding, veteran center, are the lettermen who have reported for spring drills.
In addition to this material, Michalske has the following line material from which to build his defenses this fall: Jensen, end; Pusch and Johnson, tackles; Voelker, Hufman, Spindler and Hayes, guards; Lindgren, center.
Pusch and Johnson are both transfers to the school. Hufman was on the squad a year ago as was Hayes. Spindler, another transfer, played on the B squad at Purdue a year ago. Lindgren was also a Cyclone squad member last season.
Only Two Backs Return
In the backfield department, only two out of the first 12 backs have returned. Ten of the first 12 backs have disappeared completely and picking looks a little on the slim side. Dick Howard and Chuck Heidel are the only two veteran backs to report and Howard is the only first string back.
Backfield candidates who are now shooting at berths on the 1945 squad are Hiserodt, a squad member a year ago; and Litwicki, who was out for the squad last season. New backs are Koob and Hinkley. Healy is another back prospect. Graham, a 140-pound back from Ankency, also has shown promise despite his size.

Promising Line Candidates
Also marked as promising are the following line candidates: Weinberger, Zlomke, Abrahamson, Wahl, Bunge and Rapp. These men may find a spot for themselves by the time the 1945 schedule opens at the Cyclone school.

Despite Leroy Robison's great performance in scoring 18 points, high for the day, Kansas was defeated by Oklahoma 75-51 in an outdoor dual track and field meet in the rain and wind at Norman Saturday.

The Jayhawk weightman, Robison, set two meet records in winning the shotput with 43 feet 6 inches javelin, 172 feet 8 inches and discus, while he shared first in the high jump with another Kansan, Jim Sargent.
Kenneth Danneberg equalled the track record in the 100-yard dash with a time of 10.3 seconds, against the wind.
Richard Hudson, taking second place in the mile run, pushed the winner, Oklahoma's Clarence Vick-lund, to a new track record of 4 minutes, 35.8 seconds.
In the high hurdles, Norval Jackson placed second and Sargent third. Sargent also ran the low hurdles in third place.
Second place in the two mile run went to James Thomas, Hudson taking third.
Danneberg and John Jackson earned seconds in the 220, the broad jump and the 440 respectively.

People Are Ends
Man is not a means to an end, Dr. Peters said, but an end. Things are means, not ends; people are ends, not means to an end. If we accepted this, he felt that we could never find ourselves injuring our fellows.
Answering the old argument that war is human nature and that human nature cannot be changed, Dr. Peters vigorously affirmed that human nature can be changed in its sense of values and that spiritual values are the supreme values.
Moral Law Govern World
"Nations cannot live unto themselves," he emphasized, "but only friendly nations can maintain peace. Justice cannot be meted out with vengeance. It must be administered with the long, rather than the short, view."
The Jewish - Catholic - Protestant declaration of peace which Dr. Peters signed, was read without opposition on the floor of Congress. It stated that the moral law must govern world order and contained recommendations for colonies, minorities, international organization, and a just, social order.

Two Disciplinary Barracks Prisoners Captured at Hannibal
The five men were in the vicinity of Lawrence last Monday when they took three ration books and a model-A Ford from Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Weeks, who live six miles north of Lawrence, after tying up the couple.
Two of the five United States disciplinary barracks prisoners who escaped last Monday were captured Friday at Hannibal, Mo., according to a report by the Ft. Leavenworth public relations office.
Lt. Col. William Wurgler, public relations officer, said that he had been informed that three men answering the descriptions of the other fugitives held up a farm couple at Osborne, Kan., late Thursday and fled with $600 and their automobile after tying up the man and woman. He had no other details.
The five prisoners escaped from a worker detail at the Ft. Leavenworth golf course after overpowering their guard and five fellow inmates.

The German anti-Hitler underground movement does not exist. Jan Karski, Polish underground officer, told an audience of 200 in Fraser theater last night.
No Anti-Hitler Group in Reich, Jan Katski Says
After being introduced by Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, Mr. Karski explained that anti-Hitler papers were printed by the Polish and other underground organizations of Europe to undermine the German population. Ironically enough, this gave the world the impression that there was an organized anti-Hitler movement inside Germany.
As official courier between the underground in Poland and the Polish government in London, he said that danger of the underground activities have been greatly exaggerated.
The situation of the European Jew is the most tragic in Europe today, Mr. Karski stated because Germans, who believe the Jews provoked the war, also believe they must die in agony as punishment.
"The Polish youth propaganda problem by the Germans was combated by the underground after the closing of all Polish high schools, universities, technical schools, and confiscation of Polish textbooks," Mr. Karski continued, "by teaching puns in underground schools."
He made a plea for the necessity for American leadership in solving European problems."American democracy is the democracy Europe wants and expects. We prefer it to the Russian." Mr. Karski stated.
When asked what action should be taken with Germany following the war, Mr. Karski said the Germans should be organized so that they would not be able to wage another war, no matter what steps might have to be taken to do this.

No Announcement Of VE-Day Until All Germany Cleared
Eisenhower
There will be no announcement of VE-Day until all important enemy pockets on the western front have been wiped out, General Eisenhower told a group of United States radio correspondents yesterday.
The general said he did not believe there would ever be a formal German surrender.
"Nazi units, including divisions, corps, armies, and finally army groups will give up separately as they exhale their ammunition and gasoline, or find themselves hopelessly trapped by Allied encirclement," he said.
Praising the size and skill of the Russian armies as well as his own, Eisenhower said the Soviet drive from the east could be expected when ground conditions permitted.
Spanish Club to Give Pan American Day Program for Campus
The supreme commander declared that he was not interested in which Allied army would finally enter Berlin. He pointed out that his single purpose in this war always has been to crush the German armed forces. He said he was not interested in geographical points.
Colorful costumes and music will highlight the Pan American day program to be presented publicly by the Spanish club with the cooperation of Latin American students, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Frank Strong auditorium, Fina-Gomez, program chairman announced.
A short play, "Los Recien Casados" or "Just Married" will be presented. Miss Diaz-Gomez will explain the story in English for those who are not Spanish students.
Latin American students, dresses in native costumes, will present some typical dances with South American music accompaniment. A couple from Brazil will do the zamba in the costume of that country.

Although the Kansas river at Lawrence is rising, it is not expected to reach a dangerous stage or exceed the 23 foot crest, the Chamber of Commerce reports today.
Dandelion Day has been postponed until April 25, Betty Jo O'Neal, Jay Jane chairman, announced today. Because of the recent rains and tomorrow's forecast of cool weather, the committee felt that a postponement would be most advantageous to make the day the success it has been in the past.

"How long will we be here?" everyone asked.
"Can't tell," was the reply.
Time staggered on. Came the dawn, passengers arose from cramped positions to find there was no water on the train. Disheveled women, men with day-old beards and dirty, thirsty, children limped into the station to freshen up, send wires, and choke down a little breakfast.

Kansan Comments
WARNING
"Regardless of how many times you've been strafed by ME-109's, and shelled by 88's there's always time to read the Kansan Review."—Pfc. James E. Jake, artist who contributed the above cartoon.
Students Responsible for Filling Servicemen's Request for Review
Postal officials sent out a request last week that newspapers not be sent overseas servicemen because they add valuable weight and space that can be utilized for more highly prized letters and vital materials of war: For this reason alone the value of the Kansan Review for servicemen is increased. Because it is enclosed in envelopes with personal letters, its rapid delivery is certain.
The Review was not designed primarily for convenience of mailing, however—the real reason for its existence dates back to February when the Kansas board decided to devise a way to publish a news sheet for the former K.U. students now in service—for those who yearn for news from "home." Because the Kansas board had no desire to make a profit on the publication, the Reviews were first offered at one cent a copy to pay the printing expenses. It was hoped that those who are on the campus now would be glad to send them with personal letters to their friends.
After a few of the issues containing condensed stories of campus events had reached the men overseas, "thank you" letters began coming in from the four corners of the earth; they thanked the publishers of the Review for bringing a touch of home—a bit of news that otherwise was not available. Those letters were the determining factor. Since Kansan Review is playing an important part in the happiness of our former classmates, the Kansan board resolved to continue publication — to try to convince the civilian students that the Review is appreciated and that it is successful as far as the persons for whom it is published are concerned. Of course, the news is old to those who are on the campus when the events occur, but to one who sees mud and death every day, a few reminders of cherished days at K.U. are valuable—and pleasant memories make the fighting more bearable.
Several campus organizations have agreed to pay for part of the expenses of publication so that the Review may be continued. Letters of reply and indirect words of approval have proved that overseas servicemen want to receive the Review. It is up to their friends on the campus to see that copies are sent to them regularly.
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
I received the February 12 issue of the Kansan Review, and I was more than happy to get it. It was sent to me by Rev Harold G. Barr, a member of the K. U. staff and my former minister at the First Christian church in Lawrence.
I didn't get to attend K.U..as I planned, and if it weren't for the war, I would have been in my freshman year there, but if and when I do get back, I still plan to enter K. U. Before entering the army, I was studying interior decorating and art at Haskell.
I am sending you a cartoon to let all you Jayhawkers know how good it feels to get the Kansan Review, and I know other Jayhawkers who have seen continuous combat will feel the same way when they receive it. Regardless of how many times you've been strafed by ME109's and shelled by 88's, there's always time to read the Kansan Review.
Yours truly.
Pfc. James E. Jake, somewhere in Europe.

Whitney Selects Art For State Exhibition
Following the art exhibit staged in the department of design the past weekend by 27 high schools, one piece of work from each school has been selected to be sent over the state on display, announced Miss Maude Ellsworth, chairman of the exhibition. The art work selected for this purpose was chosen by Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design.
The high school conference, which the exhibit, was cancelled because is usually held in connection with of war regulations on transportation. Miss Whitney explained. It hoped to have a conference as well as an exhibit next year. Every piece of work was criticized by the judges, and the criticisms were sent back to the children and teachers.
The schools represented in the exhibit were Bomer Springs, Manhattan, Newton, North Newton, Parsons, Salina, Scott City, Shawnee Mission, Wichita, three schools from Hutchinson two schools from Lawrence, five schools from Kansas City, Kan., and four schools from Topeka.
The judges were pleased with the variety and number of mediums and subject matter according to Miss Ellsworth. The judges thought that the entire exhibit showed that Kansas children were becoming aware of beautiful color, line, and form, she continued, and that independence of thinking was being shown on the part of the students.

Groups from Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska were represented.
Representatives from the University of Kansas were John Marshall Wetmore, Luther Buchele, John Scurlock, Edwin Gray, and James Mundell, Jayhawk Co-op; and Pat Allen, Mildred Whitted, Peggy Bentley, and Lois Harkleroad, Harmon Co-op.
The students from the University presented a play, "Education Begins at Home," which portrayed the cooperative living method as compared with consumer's cooperatives.
Possibilities for improvements of the system were discussed at the various meetings, and a banquet was attended.

2nd Hit
Coach Shenk's decision to shift the Jayhawk grid team into T-formation for 1945 is in line with what is going on all over the nation, according to the results of a poll of 150 "big name" coaches reported in the Kansas City Star's sports column.
Questionnaires sent out by Capt. Chink Coleman, head football coach at Wentworth Military academy, produced a survey of the coaches opinions on recent rule changes, especially the one permitting forward passing anywhere behind the scrimmage line.
The Swing Is to the "T"
Besides showing that a majority of those answering agreed that the change will open up the game, the poll revealed that 60 per cent of the coaches reporting plan to use the "T" next year.

Germany Severed By Yank Third Army
International News Service
Veteran troops of the American Third army plunged across the Czechoslovak frontier today and slashed Germany proper into two segments.
Dashing 200 miles or more from the Rhine, the Third spearhead bisected the enemy homeland and crossed the border into Germanheld Czechoslovakia annexed to the Reich in the early days of Nazi triumph. Persistent German radio reports said that Soviet troops have launched their final all-out offensive against Berlin from their Oder river bridgehead received confirmation in Moscow today.
British Approaching Hamburg
The United States Ninth army, stymied at the Elbe river by unexpected last-ditch German resistance, ploughed its way into Magdeburg. The entire portion of the city lying west of the river was cleared of Nazi troops, American Seventh army troops are inside Nuernberg, western gateway to the inner fortress, and the Russians are pounding toward its mountain stronghold from the east.
To the west and north, British armored units surged to within 20 miles of Hamburg, Germany's greatest port. Canadian troops at the same time swept beyond liberated Appeldoorn, in a broad advance toward Amsterdam and Rotterdam. A Reuters report said that the troops had reached the Zuider Zee at a point 20 miles from Amsterdam.
Fall of Baguio Imminent
The Free Netherlands radio said today that the Germans have blown up the great water lock at Muiden, six miles east of Amsterdam, and the waters of the Zuider Zee are cascading into a 20-mile stretch of the lowlands between Amsterdam and Utrecht.
In the Pacific, fall of the Philippines summer capital of Baguio was imminent. Marines fighting on Okinawa tightened their noose around the bitterly-defended Motobu peninsula. Two-thirds of the Ie island near Okinawa invaded on Monday, already is in American hands.
Floods in Lawrence Are No Danger Now
Flood dangers in Lawrence are non-existent since the fall of the Kansas river to the 20.4 foot level, the Chamber of Commerce reports today.
NUMBER 134
Floodwaters of the Marais des Cygnes river, continue raging as many one story buildings are almost completely under water.
The state weather bureau at Topeka reports continued fair weather in this vicinity until Saturday.
Washington—(INS)—Men and material already are being re-deployed both from Europe and the United States to the Far East, it was learned today on the most responsible authority.
Men and Material Are Re-Deployed to Far East
This action is being taken without waiting for any official declaration of V-E day by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander-in-chief of the European theater of operations, it was disclosed.
PWCL Retains Party As Third Political Factor
Believing that an undesirable condition on the campus could be avoided by the retention of PWCL rather than the organization of an all-Greek political party to contest the Independent party in campus politics, leaders of PWCL decided at a meeting last night to maintain the party that will lie the third factor in the coming spring election.
Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and a group of independent students are the organizations that compose PWCL. In the past, most of the independent women's dormitories have been affiliated with the party.
Independent students who are not in sympathy with another political group will be encouraged by PWCL to maintain their attitude of co-operation within a Greek-Independent party.
The present plan of the political organization leaders said is to maintain the principles of the old party in the hope that there can be a continuation of the co-operation of independent and Greek students—an arrangement that has avoided undesirable outcomes—have resulted on other college campuses.
Marie Wilkins Gives Hometown Concert

Clothing Collection Totals 500 Pounds At End of First Day
Nearly 500 pounds of wearing apparel were contributed by twelve campus organizations in the first day's collection for the United Nations clothing drive yesterday.
"It was a fine response," said Dean Henry Werner, who is aiding the Y. W. C. A., sponsors of the drive, "The clothing already is being sorted ready for shipment."
Chi Omega made the greatest contribution from the women's group and Delta Tau Delta from the men's. It was necessary for the collectors to make four trips to the Chi Omega house in transporting the sorority's gifts.
Also included in the liberal response Tuesday were Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, Locksley hall, Tipery hall, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Battenfield and Carruth halls.

killed, President Truman expressed the sadness of the nation over the end of a great career.
Mr. Truman said: "The nation is greatly saddened again by the death of Ernie Pyle. No man in this war has so well told the story of the American fighting men as American fighting men wanted it told. More than any other man, he became the spokesman of the ordinary American in arms doing so many extraordinary things. It was his genius that the mass and power of our military and naval forces never obscured the men who made them." MORE
Needed Little Sleen
Forty-four years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, Ernie Pyle was a tough, wiry man, who learned to get along without much food or sleep during three years living with and writing about American boys on the battlefronts of the world.
Born on his father's form near Dana, Ind., Pyle, Pulitzer prize winner and author of two best sellers, decided at an early age that his interests lay in other fields.
Ernie enrolled in journalism at the University of Indiana in 1919 because he heard it was a "breeze." He was editor of the campus paper and manager of the football team in his senior year.
quinting school a few months before his graduation, he begin work as a reported on the La Porte, Ind., Herald-Argus. Four months later found him on the copy desk of the Washington News.
Chubb Heads Local 'Americans United'
After working the News staff for three years, Pyle's great dislike for "desk work" caused him to turn into a roving reporter. On August 8, 1935, Pyle's first travel column appeared in Scripps-Howard papers. His column, at the time of his death, was bought by 366 daily papers and 310 weeklies.
For the next five years after turning reporter, Ernie roamed the Western Hemisphere writing about (continued to page four).

Several organizations in this community will meet at 7:30 tomorrow night in the Chamber of Commerce room, WREN building, to organize a Lawrence chapter of the "Americans United" organization, Prof. H. B. Chubb who has been appointed chairman of the chapter, announced today.
"Americans United for World Organization, Inc., is attempting to unite all American organizations that are interested in mobilizing public opinion behind the San Francisco conference. Henry J. Kaiser, membership chairman, is making a coast-to-coast appeal to enroll at least 10 million Americans.
"Let us get behind this mobilization of public sentiment in the United States, behind our new leadership, and do everything possible to prevent a World War III," Professor Chubb said today. "I hope that everybody in this community will have an opportunity to enroll," he said.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 18, 1945
Kansan Comments Military Government in Marshalls May Be Key to Pacific Peace
With the European armistice near, and ultimate victory in all combat theaters a certainty, peace-time planning takes the spotlight. The world depends on such planning to restore rights to liberated peoples.
For that reason, problems of international organisation are being hammered out daily in the very workshops of war. Disarmament, relief, rehabilitation, and government stabilization are insistent controversies which meetings such as Dumbarton Oaks, Bretton Woods, and the pending San Francisco conference will help decide.
Most Americans have a vague knowledge of such peace problems. They realize that sections in Europe already in the post-war classification are attempting to solve these very difficulties. But few know what is being done in the Pacific.
In that region, the initial phase of peace planning began last year with the installation of military government in the Majuro Atoll of the Marshall Islands. Five proclamations were posted to lay down fundamental rules of governmental supervision on the Islands. Framed especially for the Marshalls, the proclamations were a synthesis of
Allied experience in the Caribbean, North Africa, and Italy, and knowledge gained from international law and treaties.
The Japanese penal code and native customary law have been retained. Offenders of existing laws are punishable by a military court which has the power to try all civil offenses and crimes arising from the war.
The proclamations cover commercial practices, set up a currency system, provide for a moratorium on debts, and forbid transfer of land or buildings without the consent of the military government.
The degrees provide for the suspension of all Japanese authority in the Marshalls, with Admiral Chester W. Nimitz exercising full civil authority as military governor. The natives have been assured that their customs, laws, and property, will be respected.
Insignificant as the Marshalls may seem to the average reader, the proclamations open a new era of American history in that region. The introduction of Military Government points toward security in the Pacific.-E.A.B.
50 High Schools Enter Journalism Contest
Fifty Kansas high schools have entered the 25th annual high school newspaper contest conducted by the department of journalism. Exactly 353 entries in the eight divisions of the contest have been received. Last year, 52 schools submitted 218 entries.
The Kansas contest does not consider the size of the school as a factor because the whole newspaper is not judged. Each school newspaper staff selects the best articles it has published during the year and enters each in the appropriate one of these divisions: news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview story.
Entries are being judged by faculty members of the department of journalism. Announcement of winners will be made in about two weeks; a broadside containing the complete list will be sent to every school and to many newspapers in Kansas.
Two divisions, service to the school and business management, are judged on the basis of special reports on activities and accomplishments of the newspaper. The eighth division is for miscellaneous entries, such as columns, cartons, humor departments, and illustrations.

Life's embarrassing moments—While walking to an 8:30 class in Frank Strong with Mo Marshall, Beverly Mendenhall noticed that her companion was carrying an interesting looking can labeled "Adam's Peanut Brittle, a Real Nutty Surprise"—it turned out to be quite a nutty surprise! Just as the two reached the rotunda, the lid accidentally popped off, and out sprang three green gingham snakes, each measuring a yard, no less. Two went wild and fortunately did not hit anyone, but the third draped itself gracefully over a slender stem of the ornamental grass decorating the center. The snakes are now back in Mo's zoo at 1234 Oread. Visiting hours, 4 to 6.

V-12 Tests Cause I-M Track Finals Postponement
Finals in the intramural track meet are postponed until tomorrow because the V-12 students are taking the navy strength tests today. Ray Kanehl, assistant director of intramurals announced this morning.
The meet will begin at 4:45 p.m. in the Memorial stadium.
In yesterday's preliminary meet, qualifiers were determined in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the 120-yard low hurdles. Four events, shot put, high jump, pole vault, and 440-yard relay, reached the finals.
George Darsie, Sigma Nu, won the shot put; while the 440-yard relay was taken by the Phi Psi's. "Fed" Stucker, Phi Gam, and Odd Williams, Sigma Chi, tied for first in high jump. Top mark in the pole vault was shared three ways, Tom Sinclair, Phi Psi, Dan Westerman, and Fred Daneke, Kappa Psi.
300 Guests Attend Annual Hi-Home Night
Three hundred students and guests were present at the 21st annual Hi-Home night given by University High school last night in the Kansas room of the Union.
Those invited were parents, alumni, friends, teachers, and practice teachers of the U.H.S. student body, Ruth Litchen, supervisor of social studies, announced today.
An informal reception opened the program with a display of student work, representing every department and including painting, pottery work, maps and graphs.
Austin Turney, Jr., senior, acted as master of ceremonies for a program of music, speakers, and dancing. The string quartet, mixed chorus, and square dancing troop were the performers.
Speakers were Gene Tait, U.H.S. student; J. W. Twente, dean of the School of Education; and Mrs. Marvin LeSeur, parent.
Refreshments were served after the program in the Old English room.

Swimming Pool Open For Civilian Men Five Days of Week
The swimming pool in Robinson gymnasium will be ope ntc civilian men five days a week from 6 to 6 pm, it was announced today by Dr. F. C. Allen, head of the department of physical education.
The University's conversion to wartime training in 1942 made it necessary to reserve the pool for military personnel. When the navy's machinist's mates, electrician's mates, V-12's and V-5's, plus the Army's A.S.T.P. were crowded into the pool, the civilians necessarily were crowded out.
Since that time, the pool has been used only by members of servicemen.
Ashton Lecture Replaces Recital
Dr. John W. Ashton will give a lecture on "The Creative Idea," at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater, in place of the customary weekly recital of Fine Arts students.
Dr. Ashton, chairman of the department of English, will point out certain common elements in music and literature as a general means of communication.
The lecture will be the second in a series of three lecture-discussions designed for Fine Arts students, but open to the public.
The series, sponsored by the department of organ and theory of the School of Fine Arts in cooperation with various departments of the College, has been arranged by Laurel E. Anderson, professor of organ.
The new president is one of the foremost history students in the country and has a prodigious memory. He cannot be stumped on any question concerning any military campaign from the days of Genghis Khan through Gettysburg to this war. When he first came here as a senator, he bought maps of Gettysburg and then went to that historic site to walk the battlefield with his maps in his hand.
Truman is a gay man and talkative. He is a good listener, but when he has something to say he says it. And that's the way it will be as this admirer of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson leads his country through the greatest crisis in history, with a firm hand dictated by great American common sense.

Students not connected with the Union will be considered, Miss Hepworth said. Applications must include the qualifications for the position applied for and list the past activities of the student applying.
ERNIE PYLE---who will build the dance pavilion near Potter lake, has said that he cannot guarantee completion of the project before the end of August, because of the help shortage and the seepage of a spring near the platform site.
In April, 1944, he flew to England to await D-day. His articles were becoming noticeably filled with his "profound weariness and complete horror of the war."
(continued from page one)
He was increasingly haunted by premonitions of his own death as his months under battle fire passed.
Awaited D-Day
"Instead of becoming used to danger, I become less used to it as years go by. I've begun to feel that I've about used up my chances," he told a friend in Normandy.
While on the Western Front, Yyle was a "tent mate" of Bert Brandt, K.U. graduate, and ace war photographer who appeared at the University in a January convocation. He stayed to witness the liberation of Paris, before returning to the United States and his home in Albuqueque, New Mexico.
Left for the Pacific in March
Ernie again took up his travels and his column when he left for the Pacific area on a carrier the last of March. The "salt-water doughboy," as he lately termed himself, stopped in Hollywood to watch the production of "The Story of G.I. Joe," a movie about the infantry and the man who knew them best—Ernie Pyle.
In what was probably his last moving picture, a newsreel shot which was shown in Lawrence this week, Pyle was pictured in a landing craft heading for the Okinawa beach.
Senior life saving is required for those wishing to take the water safety course, offered April 30 to May 5. Miss Ruth Hoover, professor of physical education, announced today.

Several faculty members attended an informal luncheon at the Colonial this noon with Mr. Mann.

Nazis Throw Thousands of Men Against Ninth in Counter-Thrust; Russians 25 Miles from Berlin
--become grateful to "those who, comprehending the immense value of education, give their financial support so generously. People like these are helping to develop Pan-Americanism," he declared.
BULLETIN
Germany launched a counter attack against the northern flank of the United States Ninth army forces inside Germany, using tanks, self-propelled guns, and thousands of infantrymen, the Nazis retook the towns of Diesdorf, Lindhoff, and Haselhorst, all west of Stendhal. A CBS broadcast said the Germans have picked up 16 miles in the counter thrust but said the attack was not considered a serious menace to American positions.
International News Service
The gigantic armies of Soviet Russia pivoted for an early blow at the heart of Germany today as troops of the United States First army overwhelmed Leipzig, fifth largest city of Nazi Germany.
"Deep penetrations" already have been made by the Russians, German broadcasts said. Soviet spearheads were reported only 25 miles from Berlin and reports persisted that paratroopers or advanced armored echelons had reached points perhaps even 10 miles closer to the capital.
No German Resistance in Ruhr
The Soviet thrusts from the captured town of Wriesen toward Strausberg, a close eastern suburb of Berlin was reported today by the Nazi DNB.
No German Resistance in Ruhr Berlin admitted that German resistance in the Ruhr pockets had come to an end. The entire area was overrun, with a total bag of prisoners still too great to be counted.
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's Third army is well inside Czechoslovakia. His troops cut the autobahn in several places 10 to 25 miles southwest of Chemnitz. Other troops pushed closer to the Czechoslovak border on the heels of armoured units which crossed into the Sudetenland yesterday.
To the north, troops of the British Second army thrust to the banks of the Elbe river in several places. The north seaport of Hamburg was virtually encircled and the fall of the harbor was inevitable.
New gains were made by both American and British forces as the intensified spring offensive in Italy went forward toward Bologna. Marines Reach Northern Okinawa
In the Pacific, marines of the United States 10th army reached the northern tip of Okinawa while other leathernecks mopped up enemy pockets on the west coast of Motobu penninsula.
On le Shima, doughbags of the 24th corps scored what Adm. Chester W. Nimitz described as "substantial gains."
Students Celebrate Pan-American Day
Pan-American day will be observed in a program to be presented by the Spanish club and Latin American students at 7:30 tonight in Frank Strong auditorium. An invitation to all students has been extended.
Authentic South American dances and music will also be presented in celebration, Pina Díaz-Gomez, program chairman announced.
Fernando Torres will replace Evan Rounda, who is ill in a short Spanish play. Both are Latin American students in the University.
Sigma Xi Brings Dean Macelwane To Speak on Campus
Dr. James B. Macclawen, dean of the Institute of Geophysical Technology, Saint Louis university, will speak at the annual meeting of Sigma Xi at 8 p.m. in Fraser theater. The public is invited.
Sigma Xi, honorary scientific society, brings one or more scientists to the campus as guest speakers each year. Dr. Macelwane will speak on "The Interior of the Earth."
As one of the pioneers in the field of seismology in North America, Dr. Macwelwane will illustrate the origin and occurrence of earthquakes, the location of the great seismic belts of the earth, and the methods used in locating major earthquakes.
Dr. Macwelane received the A.B.
A.M., and M.S. degrees from St.
Louis university. He took his Ph.D.

The parent of a proverb is "the people."
"Familiarity breeds contempt and children," is a good example of the proverbial sayings that are being collected by an American Dialect society committee. Dr. Ashton has been serving as state chairman of the committee since it began its work about a year ago.
Proverbs Sent From All Over The Country
Such phrases as, "Brevity is the soul of wit," "A ring on the finger is worth two on the phone," and "I punish her with good words,' said the man when he threw the Bible at his wife," have been coming in from all over the country.
"We get curious and apparently local proverbs such as, 'He wins the fried egg,' meaning, he gets the booby prize," says Dr. Ashton. "He has no more sense than a June bug in a hail storm," is typical of colloquial expressions."
The committee is interested in all sorts of sayings from folk proverbs, such as "Misery loves company," to modern proverbs such as, "Candy's dandy, but likker's quicker," according to Dr. Ashton.
Everyone who carries on ordinary conversations probably makes use of some of these traditional sayings each day, according to Prof. John W. Ashton, of the University English department.
"Students have been our best source but we are hoping to get in touch with older people who are likely to remember older proverbs. We welcome contributions from anyone and want people to send in any that they know," said Prof. Ashton.
Former Home of the Machinist Mates Transformed Into a Place of Activity
Fifteen practice rooms became ready for use at the first of the spring semester and replaced the practice rooms which were formerly on the second floor. The alumni office and the endowment association office have been moved to second floor from the basement.
The auditorium has been redecorated with the walls a light green, an aqua proscenium arch, and blue backdrop curtains.
Third floor of Frank Strong hall has become a regular place of business after slowly being transformed from a home for sailors to a place for classes.
Some of the design department's class rooms are not completed and will not be finished until summer. Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design, said. Five Records Net Information
The ceramics room, the class room for pottery and sculpturing, two small exhibit rooms, and the art education room have not been completed.
Practice Rooms Now on Third
The pottery and sculpturing class room has four rooms opening from it. These branch rooms are to be used for a glaze room, a kiln room, a plaster room, and clay room.
The auditorium which was finished about a week ago will have its first student recital in three years on Sunday afternoon when Ruth Russell will present the first senior recital of the year.
Five Rooms Not Completed

Mario Rodriquez Expresses Hope Of Pan-Americanism on KFKU
Real democracy to Mario Rodriguez, exchange student at the University from Costa Rica, is the presence at the same time of freedom and responsibility.
Mr. Rodriguez made this statement recently in an address over KFKU in observance of Pan-American Day which is being held today.

These qualities, freedom and responsibility, are to be found in every act of persons in the United States, the exchange student said. Neighbors Should Be Friends
"Pan-American Day was instituted to remind the people of North, Central, and South America that we are neighbors, and that as neighbors we should be friends," Mr. Rodriguez said. "The recent conference at Mexico City marks a new step in the growth of Pan-Americanism. With this mutual understanding the future of the Americas is bright."
He States Solution for Unity
Mr. Rodriguez expressed his delight in seeing "how the American people enjoy learning about South America," and said that it was his belief that "learning about a country's aspirations for the improvement of its people brings us closer to that country."
There are many people from the United States in Costa Rica and they enjoy "our full affection and esteem," Mr. Rodriguez said. "I should like to express to you my country's hope that fraternity may forever be a beacon to light the destinies of the Americas. That hope is the hope and the meaning of Pan-Americanism."

He had been dead approximately three hours, Coroner C. Rumsey said.
Death, the coroner said, was from carbon monoxide poisoning. The boy had entered the garage, closed the door, and had lain down on the seat of a station wagon after startling the motor. Fumes from the exhaust caused the death.
Four University graduates have been placed for the fall school term. H.E. Chandler, head of the teachers appointment bureau, announced.
Mother Was Grief Stricken
Eight members of the Jawhawk Flying club have soiled, C. H. McMillan, manager of the local airport, announced this morning.
Grief stricken over the death of her son, Ellis shot herself through the chest at 7:45 this morning in the bedroom of her home. She used a German lugar pistol that her husband had brought home from the First World war.
The only motive friends could give for the death of the boy was that he had been arrested on a minor traffic violation yesterday and didn't want to face his mother following his arrest. The charge was (continued on page three)

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 19, 1945
Kansan Comments
Room Shortage To Be Faced At Graduation
"No room, no room!" That might be the reply which dozens of seniors will hear when they attempt to find rooms for their parents and relatives at Commencement time.
Hotel accommodations already have been refused to several students, who have attempted to make their reservations early. The explanation is that war workers are occupying all available space on a semi-permanent basis. The same is true of tourist homes and cabin camps in this immediate area. Because graduation day activities have been scheduled for early morning on the day after final examinations, parents and alumni can not be housed in the various dormitories and Greek houses.
To relieve this situatoin, senior committee members and faculty advisers are urging Lawrence students to offer rooms in their homes for their friends' parents when they arrive for the graduation exercises. The office of the adviser to women, working in conjunction with the Alumni association, is planning to keep in contact with the list of townspeople who usually co-operate by providing rooms during rush week. Faculty members probably will be asked to accommodate as many visitors as possible in their homes.
Even so the housing situation will be inadequate, according to present estimates, and seniors are being urged to ask their parents not to come until the day of commencement. It may be necessary to change the baccalaureate services to a later hour so that more out-of-town visitors can wait to make the trip on Sunday morning.
The food problem is nearly as bad. One of Lawrence's leading restaurants will close on June 1: the University cafeteria will not be able to serve a Sunday lunch because it is already scheduled to serve the senior breakfast and the alumni supper. The city's restaurants are already taxed to their capacity in meeting the regular Sunday crowds.
Alleviating this situation somewhat will be the supper, to be provided by the University in the Union ballroom Sunday evening for all seniors, alumni, parents, and other guests. The problem of Sunday noon accommodations remains, however. It has been suggested that the various houses should try to take care of the guests of the members in their own groups, if at all possible.
Although it is early to be thinking about these problems, it is well to know the situation which exists and make plans accordingly. The University will do all in its power to aid, but it is up to the seniors, their parents, and the alumni to make this task as easy as possible.-J.F.

It was said that young Ellis left a note in the car attributing his actions to his arrest. It was also believed that his mother was informed last night that he was to appear in court soon.
School officials said that Otto had not participated in high school affairs to any great extent.
Col. Ellis Returning
army in the crossing of the Rhine river.
The father, Lt. Col. Otto Ellis, Sr., and an older brother, Lt. Lindley Ellis who was graduated from West Point last year, are in Europe with the American armies. Colonel Ellis was contacted by the Red Cross and is returning home. He and his older son met recently on a battle front for the first time in 18 months. Colonel Ellis recently was awarded the Croix de Guerre with palms citation signed by Charles De Gaulle for his exceptional services in the liberation of France. He has been an army officer since the first world war, and was with the Ninth
Phyllis Ann Ellis, a student in the University during the 16-week summer session, but this semester in nurse's training in St. Louis, was notified of her brother's death last night. She did not know of her mother's death until she arrived home at noon today.
The bodies are at the Funk mortuary and no funeral arrangements will be made until Colonel Ellis returns from overseas.
Mrs. Edna Lindley Ellis was the daughter of the late Judge and Mrs, C. E. Lindley of Lawrence. Her father, a probate court judge, was a distant cousin of the late Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
Mrs. Ellis was a member of the Congregational church of Lawrence, and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She had been quite active in war work and was taking a nurses' aide course at Watkins Memorial hospital. Although a victim of poor health for many years, her health had been much better lately.
Lt. Col. Ellis and his family resided in Hiawatha, Kan., for 10 years while he was instructor of the National Guard of Northeast Kansas. The family moved to Fort Riley in 1935 and came to Lawrence at the outset of the present war to live in the house formerly occupied by her parents. They spent much time in remodeling the house which is situated on the edge of the campus.
She was a special student in the School of Fine Arts in 1914, but transferred to the College in 1915. She was in the University until 1917, but did not graduate.

Kansan to Have Own Reporter At San Francisco Peace Parley; Eloise Knox Will Make Trip
The University Daily Kansan will have a correspondent at the San Francisco Peace conference, the Kansan board announced after a special meeting called yesterday by Dolores Sulzman, chairman.
Eloise Knox, freshman in the College and bookkeeper of the campus daily was appointed, and will leave Saturday for San Francisco to spend two weeks $ \textcircled{2} $
covering the world security meeting.
Arrangements are being made with a press association for Miss Knox to work with their staff at the conference.
Will Feature Sidelights
"I hope to bring a student's-eye view of the conference back to K.U.," she said. "Kansan readers will already know the big news of the conference from reading accounts by International News service reporters."
"But I hope to send storeis from the side-lines about personalities of the conference as I see them," she continued, "and in general get stories from an angle that would interest our generation, since it is this generation fighting this war."
Miss Knox had an opportunity to go to San Francisco last year, where her cousin is justice of the peace of Alameda, Calif., but she turned down the invitation because she felt she could not leave her job.
"But when I was invited to come during the conference, I told myself I couldn't miss it," she said. Interested in International Affiliate

Below the suicide note, the boy had written in pencil, "When I was in the sheriff's office, I told them outright that if they called up my mother this would happen."

P.S.G.L. Leaves P.W.C.L. to Join Independents
The Progressive Student Governing League decided last night to align themselves with the Independents, Don Alderson, president of the party, announced this morning. "It has always been the policy of P.S.G.L. to work with the party best representing independent women, since P.S.G.L. is the men's independent party on the campus," Alderson stated.
Last year P.S.G.L, united with the Progressive Women's Co-operative League, since the latter party was more representative of independent women at that time.
A convention for the nomination of P.S.G.L. party candidates has been set tentatively for April 30, at which time the organization will choose its candidates.
Typical music and dances drew much applause from an enthusiastic audience at the Pan American day program last night. W. H. Shoemaker, professor in the Spanish department expressed the hope for even better Pan American relations.

On that memorable afternoon, a score or more of universities and colleges throughout the country had responded to invitations sent from Mt. Oread earlier in the year. The entire Missouri Valley conference was on hand; the Big Ten was well represented; several Southwestern conference schools were represented; even the University of Pennsylvania sent a team to Lawrence for this initial presentation of K.

land, outstanding K. U. athlete in 1894, transferred to Pennsylvania in 1895, and while he was there, the now famous Penn Relays were founded. Although these early relays were small, Outland was impressed with the possibility of such a show as a valuable addition to middlewaters sports.
Dr. Outland explained his ideas to Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, some years later, and "Phog" was enthusiastic over the plan. In 1920 plans were made for the first relays in 1923.
Some of the world's greatest track talent—Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke, Jim Bausch, Earl Meadows, Don Boydston, Clyde Coffman, Fred Wooloctt—have received the plaudits of thousands of Kansas Relays spectators.
In 1942, Glenn Cunningham was referee of the 20th annual Kansas Relays which were the last to be held;

Nazi 'Redoubt' Is Allied Goal
The armies of democracy, on the march for total extinction of Nazi tyranny, opened their assault upon Adolph Hitler's last ditch "national redoubt."
At a moment when Soviet troops in overwhelming numbers were thrusting into the main defenses of Berlin on the east, the United States Seventh army, supported by units of the French First army, closed in on the industrial city of Stuttgart, western gateway to Hitler's hideout in the Bavarian Alps.
Stuttgart is being encircled the headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower announced. Its seizure will unhinge Munich's entire western line of defense.
American-Soviet Link-Up Due
In the wake of Soviet broadcasts reporting that "the time has come" for a link-up with Russian and American troops, somewhere in the heart of Germany, Berlin appeared almost under a state of siege.
German reports placed the Soviets only a dozen miles away from the Nazi capital after admitting that Berlin's "main defenses" had been breached. (German broadcasts yesterday reported Russian units driving toward the suburbs of Strausberg, which lies only 10 miles from the eastern boundary of Berlin. This distance, London reports, "may now be reduced by half," which would place the Russians five miles or less from the German capital.

While in Lawrence Mr. Leisy will be a guest of English department faculty members.

Kansan Comments City Day May Have Possibilities As Training for College Students
Wednesday was City Day in Lawrence. Thirty-eight high school girls and boys took over the city offices for the annual day of rule.
The city chiefs learned the students' slant on municipal government. The young participants in the American Legion-sponsored program got new ideas on the workings of our city.
Movements such as Boys' and Girls' City Day and Boys' and Girls' States, in which high school representatives from all over the state meet for a week of political training in state offices, are invaluable in giving future voters of this country a living lesson in civics. Many of them say, "I learned more about government from that experience than I ever not from any book."
If it does a constructive job for high school students, why wouldn't it enlighten college students on several subjects. How many average men and women on this campus know the duties of city officials, or even who they are? How many know where the city government buildings are located, where court is held, and where the mayor's office is?
Unless they have had actual contact with the city, few students are informed about the town they live in. Why not let enrollees in college courses get down-to-earth experience on the matter? Anyone can visit city offices, but unless there is an incentive, few students will take the time to learn.
It is an idea. Meanwhile, the American Legion is to be commanded for its sponsorship of a worthwhile project.-E.A.B.

Rock Chalk Talk
The eyes have it: Then there's the coed, who, when sighing over her sailor's big black eyes, says she just can't get over their "jet compulsion."

Close shave: Dauntless Dan Westerman, Sigma Chi, had a date with mischievous Meredith Gear one night last week, and was foolish enough to make a bet with her. Driving home, Dan stopped in front of "Ad" in his jalopy, and said to Meredith, "Bet you can't drive my car from here to the Chi O house."
Meredith took him up on the bet, and successfully drove to the house. Sunday found her at the Sigma Chi house to collect her bet wins.
Rather odd, to say the least, but Meredith's end of the bargain had been that if she won the bet, she would get to shave Dan's legs. So, over she went, complete with towel, shaving cream, and razor, and performed the delicate operation in the living room of the Chi house, while amused guests and parents wandered through on Sundav visits.
This is what Dan would call "bet repulsion."

Were you speaking to me?—Yours truly was giving her dog a run in the local park one Sunday, when to keep the pup from running in front of a car, she was forced to call, "Here Honey!" Honey is the blond cocker's name. At that moment "Luscious" Luehring, Sigma Chi, was driving by-and almost wrecked the car to see who was calling him. The
I had to call you on the phone:
"Dainty Small," DG, was delighted one night to get a call from Bill Kanaga, PT-5, her steady, but somewhat chagrined when the conversation began to dwindle and finally ceased. Heavy breathing on the opposite end of the line made her gasp to amused sorority sisters, "Why—Why, he's asleep!"

**Pinning by proxy:** Woody Runyan Phi Psi, lost his Phi Psi pin not long ago. Calmly ordering a new pin, and overlooking his carelessness, Woody forgot the loss immediately. But one day, Dick Stevens, high school boy who works at a local shoe store, reported to Earl Crawford, Phi Psi, that a high school girl classmate of his was sporting a Psi pin. Investigation netted the following facts:
Woody had sent the pin to the laundry, where the girl worked. She liked it, took it, wore it, and was the envy of the high school girls. Woody looked her up (and down), got his pin back, and remarked, "Hmmm. Not a bad looking chick either! I must look into this" Just reverse of the normal procedure, we'd say.

Chemistry Will Revolutionize Daily Life
-VanderWerr
Recent discoveries in chemistry will make the standard of post-war living the highest ever known Dr. C. A. VanderWerf told the University's Chemistry club at a dinner in the Memorial Union building Friday night.
Dr. VanderWerf told of the different areas in which chemistry would revolutionize daily life, and of some of the advances being made in such fields as plastics, synthetic rubber, synthetic fibers, high octane gasoline, chemotherapy, food, and insecticides. He stressed the impact of these developments upon the economic life of the nation and the world.
"In recent years due to the work of chemists and chemical engineers, chemical technology has advanced to the point where every man, woman and child in this country could enjoy a standard of living after this war far higher than anything the world has ever known before." Dr. Vander-Werf said.

"Until the boys come home' or until somebody writes some good dramatic plays for all-girl casts, all we can do is call off the production of plays," Prof. Allen Crafton said today.
Scarcity of Males Causes Spring Plays To Be Cancelled
"Stage Door," the spring play to be presented by the department of speech and drama, has been cancelled, owing to the lack of male actors. Professor Crafton announced.
"This play is about as easy to cast from the standpoint of men actors as any play we could choose," Professor Crafton explained.
"The only plays left that we could cast are badly written, second-rate plays for all-girl casts. There seems no point in giving a bad play which would, with justification, be criticized by our audience," he added.

Kansan Comments Folks Back Home Will Miss News About Sons From Favorite Writer
With Ernie Pyle died one of the strongest links between the American fighting man and the folks back home. More than anyone else he humanized the most complex and mechanized war in history. His earthy columns carried the realness of war because they told the story of the G.I.
Early in his war correspondent career, when the ranks were beginning to push back the Germans in North Africa, the shy self-conscious columnist learned that his job was not with the generals and their stratagems but with the one-time garage mechanics, clerks, and taxi drivers who had no one else to tell their story. At first he wrote as a conventional war correspondent covering the news as the others did. The change came one day as he was rushing across a North African airfield to attend a press corps meeting with Admiral Darlan. To dodge the spattering bullets of diving Stukas, Mr. Pyle dived into a ditch just behind a G.I. The soldier was killed the next instant. The correspondent's publishers received a story of the stranger who had died in the ditch.
Overnight Ernie Pyle became America's most popular journalist because he was writing of the men about whom people at home wanted most to hear, the little man, the G.I.'s in the trenches.
Ernie Pyle said that he was really a letter writer—"so the folks back home can see it the way it is," but he did more than write chatty letters. He brought the life and the problems of the American soldier to the realistic level. Even the War Department and the high command in the field, arting the Pyle columns as top morale-builders, scanned his columns for hints and even adopted his suggestion to give soldiers 50 per cent extra pay for combat service.
Silver Star Awarded Posthumously to Grad, Capt. James Hartzell
The Silver Star, awarded posthumously to Capt. James S. Hartzell, has been presented to his widow, Mrs. Helen A. Hartzell, 1525 New Hampshire street, by Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, CAC, representative of the commanding general of the Seventh Service command.
The citation stated that when his tank was subjected to direct enemy artillery fire on July 7, 1944, Captain Hartzell sustained severe burns about the face and hands. He refused medical aid until he had driven to the rear, obtained supplies of fuel and ammunition, and brought them forward to his company.
The late Captain Hartzell was graduated from the University in 1941. He completed the full ROTC course in June 1941 and received his commissioned in July. He sailed for overseas duty in February 1944. At the time of his death in combat he held the rank of captain and commanded an armored tank company.
The Purple Heart was awarded posthumously to Captain Hartzell in September 1944 for military merit and for wounds received in action.
Surviving Captain Hartzell are his widow, Mrs. Helen A. Hartzell and two children, Ruth Elaine, 3, and Mary Jane, 1.
Capt. Allen to Return Home After Three Years Overseas
Capt. Marvin B. Allen, son of Mrs. Nellie Allen, 1407 Kentucky street, is awaiting transportation home at a rotation camp, according to word received by his mother.
Captain Allen has been in the Pacific area for the past three years in the searchlight anti-aircraft division of the army.
He was enrolled in the University's School of Engineering when he entered the service in 1940.
America will long pay tribute to the man who shortened the distance between the home front and the battlefield, who helped her civilians to understand the sufferings and heartaches of her figthing men.
A.U. Chapter Formed Mass Meeting May 2
Representatives from 23 organizations formed a Lawrence chapter of the "Americans United" organization at a meeting Thursday night.

A mass meeting of the "Americans United" organization will be May 2, Professor Chubb announced. "At this time persons who wish to join the organization may do so," he said. At this meeting they will discuss problems growing out of the San Francisco conference.
Ashton Discusses Art and Literature
Art and literature should be concerned with a symbolic and formal presentation, Dr. John Ashton, professor of English, stressed in his lecture to students in the School of Fine Arts, Thursday.
Dr. Ashton, in his talk on the "Creative Idea," pointed out that science uses analysis, but art and literature use "material variables" and cannot be pinned down to exactness.
The lecture was the second in a series, sponsored by the department of organ and theory, to replace the regular Thursday afternoon recitals. Laurel E. Anderson, professor of organ, introduced the speakers in Fraser theater.
"The artist makes us see things we pass by every day and don't notice," he added, "and he makes us understand them better."

He's just a little shaver — Larry Smith, V-12, really shows enthusiasm when he gives speeches for speech class. Choosing the subject, "How to Shave," the other day Larry proceeded to drag out brush, shaving lotion, razor, mirror, and after-shave lotion, and demonstrated the art of shaving before the entire class. Opening with the remark, "You girls think you have a hard time, look what we fellows have to go through to be beautiful." Larry even cut himself once just to prove his point.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed Burkhead — "Mother" Dona Burkhead, Chi O, has decided that she just doesn't have a way with the kiddies.

Seems that the little dears saw the whites of her eyes, didn't want to play with her anyhow, so fired some buckshot her way.

Mayberry, Mix Find Dandelion Killer
D-Days at the University may become things of the past only to be remembered by those who dug diligently each spring to help rid the campus of the dreaded enemy of lawns, the dandelion.
"This solution does not kill the plant after one application, Dr. Mayberry said, "but five applications a year for about two years should kill the plant entirely."
Last fall these two men sprayed the dandelions in front of Snow hall with a ferrous-sulphate, a well-known chemical used on the invaders of lawns. Two sprayings were done last fall and another this spring. The results have been satisfactory, Dr. Mayberry reports. A marked contrast is evident in front of Snow hall where the experiment was performed. The golden flowers are now nothing more than black ashes.
Many will appreciate the elimination of this day of work that has become simplified through experimentation by Dr. M. W. Mayberry and Dr. A. J. Mix, professors in the botany department.
Bob Miller, Jim Weatherby, and Leroy Robinson obliged the D.G.'s with some fancy waiting on tables last Wednesday night, as a thank you for the number of tickets sold at the D.G. house to the Varsity-Alumni football game. Dressed in white coats and bow ties, the fellows even sang as they served . . . other sorority songs. Taking the spotlight was Lynn Leigh, who ran into the dining-room with fists clenched every time the bell was rung, screaming, "I always come out fighting when I hear that bell." The first time this happened, the other waiters obligingly ran in and mopped Lynn's fevered brow with a rag dipped in a pail of water. The second time they did likewise except that they heaved the pail at a table full of ducking D.G.'s, who were quite amazed to find the pail was full of pieces of paper instead of the expected water.

... The track was in the best condition in some weeks for the meet Saturday. Times in all events were very good, with competition close though one-sided. One of the most thrilling races was the second heat of the mile relay, final event of the day. Topeka had already won the first heat, turning in a fast 3:36.7 time. Lawrence and Wichita North, possessing two of the best relay teams in the state, were scheduled to battle it out in the second heat. The first North righ runner pulled into an early lead, but he was pushed by the lead man all the way around the first lap.
The baton was passed twice smoothly enough, and then the third part of the Lawrence team, a tall Negro, fell in behind the second North trackster, the two runners now leading the field. As they rounded the far turn at the end of the backstretch the LMHS runner attempted to pass the North man, and for a while the two were running in a dead heat. Between the last two turns, however, tragedy befell the Red and Black home towners. The big colored boy suddenly lost his stride, and pitched headlong onto the track. Dazed as he was, he finally arose and continued the race. But the cause was hopeless. Although he was only in third place, the North high runner was so far ahead, that not

even Jesse Owens could have caught him.
The All-American football league seems to be doing its utmost to outdo its twenty-five year old rival, the National Football League. Big question now is whether the embryonic conference can live up to its advance notices. Yesterday a board of directors voted visiting teams a top guarantee of $15,000, $5,000 more than is guaranteed by N.F.L.
Another interesting sidelight to the directors meeting arises in the proposed Kansas City franchise. Dr. D. M. Nigro, representing a K.C. group, had asked for the league's eighth franchise, but action in the matter was deferred when he made it known that an acceptable playing site would probably not be available in the immediate future.

"How long can this go on?" students ask one another as they pull sweaters on over their heads. "Spring is here, or hasn't somebody let Mother Nature in on the secret?"
Yesterday the highest temperature was 61 degrees between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. At 7 p.m. it had dropped to the lowest temperature yesterday—48 degrees.

Almost Unknown to 135 Million Truman Becomes Their Leader
Editor's Note: Continued from Wednesday.
By Caswell Adams
Wash. — (INS) — When President Harry S. Truman was chosen vice-president, he said:
"This job has been called the graveyard of politicians. I guess I'm in it."
'Emblem That Nodody Knows' Is Honorable Discharge Button
He belittled himself,but now that
Termed "the emblem that nobody knows," the discharge button will be seen in ever-increasing numbers on the campus and recognition of it is important.
It is the identification of one who has served his country in the armed forces—it is the Honorable Discharge button.

vice-presidential seeming unimportance, but no belittling now.
One of the first men to visit the President's office after he sat at his desk for the first time Friday morning was Secretary of State Stettinius. The Secretary was announced and the President ordered that Mr. Stettinius come in. As the Secretary he has come to the peak job in the world, he feels the weight of the position greatly, also remembers his advanced to the desk, Mr. Truman smiled affably and said:
"I should have kept you waiting. You kept me waiting once for an hour and a half when you were Lend Lease Administrator."
Already the President has startled the secretariat in his office by bobbing out of his chair every so often and wandering out the door into the ante-room where the high officials of the nation wait to see him. He grabs one by the hand and pulls the man into his office.

Soviet Encirclement Of German Capital Almost Complete
International News Service
International News Service Russian soldiers seized the Nazi eagle by the neck and began to ring the life out of it today with almost complete encirclement of Berlin.
British Three Miles from Bremen British troops battling toward Bremen advanced to points within three miles of the southeastern outskirts of the great northern seaport.
With official news of a junction between Soviet and American forces in central Germany expected hourly, Russian tanks rumbled through the streets of the capital six abreast.
Soviet advance guards operating far to the west and southwest of Germany's capital sent wireless messages to the United States first and Ninth armies which said: "Stay where you are. We are coming to meet you."
Stockholm dispatches said the first Ukrainian and first White Russian armies had made a junction in the heart of the capital after swinging around its boundaries north and south.
Close in on Bavaria
A security blackout hit developments on the Italian front, but American and British units were reported advancing up to and probably beyond the Po river on a broad front. British troops stormed Ferrara and American units moved into La Spezia, once Italy's greatest naval base.
In a sweeping drive into Adolf Hitler's Bavarian national redoubt, three large areas of southern Germany already have been isolated by French and American troops closing in on Munich, the birthplace of Nazidom. Latest reports placed advanced allied units only 50 miles from the great city, capital of Bavaria.
Troops of the United States Seventh army and the French First army have captured Ulm on the Danube. Augsburg is now in direct threat of Seventh army troops only 44 miles away while Third army forces are closing in on Regensburg.

Kansan Comments California Conference to Guide Destiny of Entire Human Race
In speaking of the San Francisco conference which begins tomorrow in California, Secretary of State Stettinius declared that "it is one of the great turning points in history. The decisions made there will guide the destinies of the human race for generations to come." Only two weeks ago, however, a feeling of unpreparedness prevailed and many believed that the United Nations simply were not ready for a world security conference.
Today, in the face of the inevitable defeat of Germany and new Japanese losses in the Pacific, the need for the conference is even more urgent. The Big Three disagreement on the Polish question must be threshed out and the question solved immediately. This subject shares interest with the new compromise trusteeship plan announced to be under consideration as a method of military control for Pacific islands released from Japanese domination.
All this means a great deal to each of us as Americans. The decisions related to the Polish question and the trusteeship plan, among many others, will determine our attitude toward the charter of the international organization which is to be drawn up at the conference.
The first steps toward tomorrow's meeting of more than 40 allied nations, were taken in 1943 by the British, Russians, Chinese, and the United States when they agreed that the establishment of a "genuine international organization . . . for the maintenance of international peace and security" was necessary. The Moscow Declaration in 1943 recorded their approval, and almost immediately the United States senate adopted the Connally Resolution
Two Display Boards To Tour the State
Two display boards depicting activities and class work at the University have begun a tour over the state, sponsored by the Student State-Wide Activities commission.
The display boards, which are decorated in red and blue, will be shown at the high schools in Olathe, Fort Scott, Paola, Blue Mound, Parsons, Independence, Coffeyville, Iola, Winfield, Arkansas City, Wellington, Anthony, Harper, and Medicine Lodge.
One of the boards is now on display in the center of Frank Strong hall. Some of the pictures on the board are of occupational therapy classes, aeronautical engineering, veterans talking with Dr. Leonard Axe, students in the vocational guidance office, coaches and players, and two students drinking pop in the Union fountain.
School of Business Does It Again!
The office of the School of Business has moved again!
For the fifth time since the coming of the Navy,the office was moved Saturday.
"We moved from the first floor to the second, down to the basement, back to first, and now, back to second," said Dean F. T. Stockton. "Our history for the past three years might be classed as office-hopping."
The new offices located at the west end of the second floor in Frank Strong hall are not yet completely furnished and will not be until office equipment becomes more available, according to Dean Stockton.
supporting the Declaration.
This week at San Francisco the general proposals for the plan of organization as agreed upon by technical experts at Dumbarton Oaks will be incorporated into a charter which our government, with other United Nations governments, will be invited to ratify. National selfishness must have no part in the decisions made at the conference. Our representatives will aid in drawing up plans which will determine the duration of the peace for which we are still fighting. We must be certain that those plans are not the spoils of power politics but the framework for the guarantee of international peace and human rights.

BY CAROL STUART
As Mary Lou Matthews, D.G. walked calmly down the campus the other day, she suddenly stopped in front of a bus stop and stood staring in puzzled silence at two empty shoes sitting side by side on the red cement. "Buses surely do go fast these days," she finally decided as she proceeded shakily on her way.

Music loves?—Don Cousins, V-12 band leader, certainly has "his boys" well trained, much to the regret of the fellows' Saturday night dates. At the K-Club dance one girl timidly suggested to her date that they dance for awhile instead of just standing in front of the orchestra all the time. Half a dozen of the band boys turned on her and said in amazement, "Can't you see that he's busy?" As for Cousins himself — not even the impatient hand of his date passing back and forth in front of his admiring eyes could waver his attention from the famous band leader — or was it Les Brown the boys were so interested in?

S-S-Sure It's S-S-Spring!
It happened at 6:30 on the night of March 20. *
Although no one heard a gong or a shout of "Hurrah," it happened. Quietly and with no ceremony the sun crossed the vernal equinox and—it was spring!
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 24,1945
No one raced madly around throwing windows open or took the blankets off their beds, but students did shed winter coats for lighter spring jackets and rain coats.
A few skirts and sweaters were exchanged for cotton dresses and anklets were forgotten as coeds trotted to classes with stockingless feet thrust into old "saddles" or moccasins. White accessories became the style as the V-12's exchanged their blue hats for white ones.
A few sun baths were taken by the eager ones and a slight tinge of pink (preferably called "tan" by the same eager ones) appeared on the winter paleness of the skin.
And, now, a month later, students are wondering what the rush was. The ever-new spring feeling of freedom disappeared with the reappearance of black clouds and cold winds. Students were yanked back into winter clothing and spring outfits were again pushed into the back of the closet, but this time with an "it can't last much longer" touch. Campus Fights Winter
The campus, refusing to be fooled by Old Man Winter, went blithly on its way with spring house cleaning. Ten storm doors, erected every winter to keep some of the cold wind out of the buildings, were removed in a half day by a crew of eight men.
The trees fought to keep their newly sprouted buds from being jerked away from them by strong winds as did students who clutched hats or scarfs. Lilacs blossomed with an arrogant air, as if knowing the beauty they lent to the scene. The grass, knowing that it had a reputation to keep, grew so fast that it had to be cut even before the return of the cold weather.
The dandelions, not to be outdone by the grass, seemed to thrive on the cooler weather and waved brazenly in the faces of those students planning D-Day.
Gardeners Await Sprnig
The street lights along the campus drive started their spring vacation, not going to work until 8 p.m. wheras in January they started their vigil a little after 5 p.m.
Ivy turned green and began to climb along the walls of the buildings lending them an Old-World enchantment.
No flowers have been transplanted, but the beds were prepared a few weeks ago and the gardeners are waiting for the return of warm weather before setting out the plants.

ALMOST UNKNOWN—
(continued from page one) to him. Mr. Truman will be entirely different.
He moves rapidly and thinks as rapidly. He never acquired a law degree, yet he is conversant with the law and follows legal arguments as well as trained and experienced men with years of court work behind them.
Senator Homer Ferguson, of Michigan, one of the four Republican members of the famed Truman committee (the Senate Defense Investigating committee) said today:
"Harry lacks the training of a lawyer but he has the same determination of a lawyer to solve problems by getting the facts. That was our method. Get the facts, study them and then act."
"There were some times when the facts were hard to get and once Attorney General Biddle had some records that he wanted and he wouldn't turn them over.
"So we talked for a few minutes and Harry called for a subpoena and we got the records. That happened twice. Imagine a Democratic senator having the spunk to challenge the Attorney General of the United States.
"But that's the kind of a man he is. After we cleared up an aeronautical slow-up when we dropped into the Cincinnati airport and, unannounced, went to the plant and found men playing tick-tack-toe, reading magazines and doing everything but work, we uncovered trouble in a Detroit company. We were talking about investigating and Harry said:
"Now, it was pretty unprecedented for a senator to go into his own state to investigate, but Harry just said: 'Precedent has no power here at all.' And later on when there was a sugar investigation in Kansas City and some trouble with an Ordnance plant near there, Harry went right down to his own state to get the facts. He got 'em, too."
"Fergy you go up there and get the facts."

What the earth is made of still remains a mystery to the scientist, Dr. James B. Macwelwane, dean of the Geophysical Technology Institute of St. Louis university, told Sigma Xi members in Fraser Theater Thursday night.
Macelwane Says Earth Still a Mystery
"Because the amount of heat being activated by minerals in the earth is unknown, we cannot definitely say that the earth we are dealing with has a stony mantel and a nickel-iron core," the speaker said.
Although the geologist can see only the thin outer surface of the earth's crust, the geophysicist through application of physics principles and aided by geophysical apparatus, has been able to predict the occurrence of valuable ore deposits.
With the aid of picture slides, Dr. Maclwane illustrated the methods used in locating major earthquakes, and the different zones in the deep core of the earth.
The lecturer is one of the pioneers in the seismology field in North America. He has been instructor and professor at various universities in the United States. He is the author of several textbooks on seismology.

"MURDER IN
THE BLUE ROOM"
Music Laboratory Sounds May Be Products of Future Artists
From the top floors of Hoch auditorium and Frank Strong hall, mingled music classics coming from some 30 practice rooms give promise of real artists, some who might even become nationally known.
These rooms, the music laboratories of the University, although not sound proof have been compactly built to enable the young musicians to make the most of their three hours of practice, the minimum quota for majors in applied music excepting those majoring in voice.
At the beginning of each semester, music students gather early at the Fine Arts office to sign up for a room at a convenient time with the rental values corresponding with the number of hours to be used each day practicing. The rental charges are used to keep the pianos in these rooms in repair. In spite of the war, the demand for these rooms was unprecedented this semester.
Students Sign Early
The practice rooms in Frank Strong hall have been completed just recently. Previously, they were on second floor in rooms now occupied by the Endowment and Alumni associations. These newly finished rooms each have an upright Steinway piano. A large high window in each room brings in light and fresh air to assist the musicians at work. One room has two pianos for students working on two piano arrangements.
Students have access to three organs. The two rooms housing the smaller organs are on the main floor in Hoch auditorium. The large organ in the main auditorium is used by the advanced students and for music lessons.
Also Organs Accessable
From early in the morning to 9 o'clock at night,excepting Sunday, practice is carried on.Monitors are in both buildings during night practice.

Medic Students Engineers Keep 3-Semester Plan
The School of Engineering will retain the three-semester navy calendar even though other schools of the University will revert to the twoterm basis, Chancellor Deane W. Malott said today.
Army and Navy medical students in the present class and the new class arriving in September will also remain on the three-semester basis, the School of Medicine has announced.
Engineers Use Navy Schedule
Civilian engineers will continue in the same program as the navy, Dean J. O. Jones, School of Engineering said. A new 16-week semester will start in the School of Engineering July 1.
Whether a new V-12 group will enter the University in July has not been officially disclosed yet by the navy office.
In order to synchronize the University schedule with that of the Navy college training program for engineers which began with some 500 trainees atthe University, the first regular 16-week summer session for the engineering students opened July 1, 1943.
Medical School Accelerated
Subsequent semesters for the engineers opened the following November, and March, 1944, which completed the first year of the three-semester plan.
The School of Medicine began June 3, 1942, with an accelerated program which enables students to receive a degree in three years. Students who enrolled then as freshmen in the School of Medicine will graduate this June, instead of the regular graduation in June, 1946.

Annual Inspection Of R.O.T.C. to Be Next Monday
The annual inspection of the University's R.O.T.C. senior unit will be held Monday, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, professor of military science announced this morning.
Col. Malcom E. Craig, director of military training, Headquarters 7th Service Command, Omaha, will conduct the inspection. He will be accompanied by Capt. John Rackley, signal corps.

"The University has always received an excellent R.O.T.C. rating in the past. It is expected that a similar rating will be attained this year although the enrollment due to war-time conditions is extremely small," Colonel McMorris said.
Union Activities Will Give Interviews
Interviews of applicants for the positions of president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer of the Student Union activities will be given within the next two weeks, Eugenia Hepworth announced this morning.
"There have been several good applications from students not previously connected with the Union and we feel that the interviews will help us to decide," Miss Hepworth said.
The interviews will be given by the Union Operating board.
WEATHER FORECAST Cloudy with light rain.
Sour Owl Staff Freed From Ban
Sour Owl staff members are once more participating in student activities from which they were barred last November by University authorities, after publication of the humor magazine. The ban was officially lifted April 10.
The magazine, sponsored by the All-Student Council, was classified as "unavailable" by postal authorities and became the center of an all-university controversy last fall. The staff was barred at that time from all future participation in University activity.
Profits from the magazine were turned over to the all-student council and are at present in a separate fund, according to Persis Snook, council president. No decision has been made as to how the money will be used, she said.
Clark Henry and Harold McSpadden, editors; Bob Ramsey, business manager; Georgia Paulette, secretary; Jason Dixon, photographic editor; Bill Kanaga, feature writer; Bob Cowling, cartoons; J. A. Mayer, ad layout; and Hugh Schirk, advertising manager.

Close Combat Delays Yank-Red Junction
Washington — (INS) — House-to-house and hand-to-hand fighting in the battle for Berlin today appeared to explain the further delay in the "Big Three" announcement of the joining of Russian and American forces in Germany.
Anticipation of the formal announcement of the juncture remains on an hour-to-hour basis.
London reports said it was believed that the Russians had asked that the formal tri-power announcement be withheld until occupation of Berlin by Russian forces is completed.
Almost Unknown to 135 Million, Truman Becomes Their Leader
(Editors Note: Continued from yesterday's Kansan.)
He plays Chopin particularly ex-
Playing the piano is his favorite hobby, and he is proud of the fact that he once took a lesson from the great Ignace Paderewski, who taught him the intricacies of a minuet.
When Mr. Truman, as vice-president, had his picture taken at the Press club here playing a piano, with Lauren Bacall, the movie actress, perched on top of the piano, friends called to warn him of such publicity and he was advised to say that he didn't know the picture was being taken, "I knew it was taken," he answered. "But I had to let the picture be taken or act like an old stuffed shirt."
partly. He has a large collection of records, all classical. He has no use for the popular tunes, but can play them when there's a party and Mr. Truman is brought to the piano for a "sing."
Several weeks later he went to Chicago and his friends gave him a small dinner. When Mr. Truman entered the room, there was a piano in the corner, with a clothing dummy from a department store on top of the piano. Mr. Truman took one look, laughed, and walked straight to the piano and started to bang out some old favorite tunes.
Truman and Stimson Go Into Conference
Spoken and written thoughts that Mr. Truman's lack of contact in the international world would handicap this country were put definitely at rest today by Edward D. McKim, of Omaha, who has watched the presi-
(continued to page four)
Washington — (INS) President Truman today made an unscheduled and sudden visit to the war department, where he conferred for about 20 minutes with Secretary of War Stimson and other military leaders.
Shortly after Mr. Truman entered Stimson's office, General George C. Marshall, chief of staff, and Admiral Ernest J. King, naval commander-in-chief, joined them.
Yanks Crack Gate To Nazi Redoubt; Push to Danube
Moscow—(INS)—Berlin has been completely encircled by Russian troops, Premier Joseph Stalin announced tonight in a special order of the day.
(BULLETIN)
In the wake of giant British planes that showered six-ton earthquake bombs on Adolph Hitler's mountain chalet at Berchtesgaden, fast-moving American troops cracked open the gateway to Germany southern redoubts today.
Last year he was unable to speak since he was detained in a Japanese concentration camp, where he was placed after giving Emperor Hirohito a hot-foot during a gin-rummy game.
Since Mr. Zilch's escape from the prison camp, he has been covering the fighting fronts in Germany for the Daily Bleat, where he has gained a name for himself by Roman-riding two tanks at once.
However, Eleanor Zilch, his wife, substituted for him at the dinner, which is the most elaborate banquet known to civilized Kansas.
Announcement that the biggest bombs of Britain's arsenal had been dropped on Hitler's notorious villa and S.S. guard barracks nearby followed disclosure that U. S. Third army units had reached the Danube, the principal natural line of defense guarding southern Germany's "inner fortress."
Elmer A. Zilch Rides Once More On Army Trucks
The doughbys affectionately call him "Gluefoot Zilch."
When Mr. Zilch traveled here by dog-sled in 1941, it was his first visit to the Middle West. Believing that he would have to "rough" it, he pitched a tent near the journalism building and lived on a week's supply of canned goods and water.
The journalism department has received word that Elmer A. Zilch, the patron saint of journalism and editor of the New York Daily Bleat will be in Lawrence May 9 to speak at the annual Zilch dinner.
Mr. Zilch, who is famed for his discovery of type lice and the invention of the Zilch Zippy linotype, first spoke to journalism students and faculty members in 1941. Since then his visit has become an annual event.

San Francisco — (INS) — Leaders of the "Big Four" delegates resumed their conferences here today on the Polish representation issue and other pressing matters concerning the establishment of a peace organization.
Meanwhile government leaders of 46 United Nations marshalled in the midst of mankind's greatest carnage to open the historic congress today for the outlawing of future war.
K C U. Dames, Organization for married women students or wives of students, was formed here in 1910.
The conference opens at 6:30 p.m. C.S.T. Secretary of State Stettinius will preside. His first act will be to introduce President Harry S. Truman, who in a speech broadcast from Washington will welcome the delegations to America.

In Berlin, subways became the leading battleground of Europe. Soviets Hold Half of Berlin
Soviet troops, already in possession of one-half of Germany's blazing capital, and forging a steel ring around the rest of it, plunged underground in pursuit of Nazi forces fighting a last-ditch battle.
Concrete information on the progress of fighting was meager. The Hamburg radio reported the Russians had broken through German defense lines near the Ostkreutz station.
The Soviet high command confirmed previous dispatches disclosing that troops of the first White Russian army and those of the First Ukrainian army had linked up inside Berlin.
Patton Near Austrian Border
Coincident with a British Second army offensive against the oncegreat North Sea port of Bremen, American forces under command of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton reached points within 18 miles of the Austrian border.
Student recitals will be resumed tomorrow with nine members of the School of Fine Arts performing at 3:30 p.m. in Fraser theater.
German resistance in Italy crumbled following allied crossing of the Po river in force, and thousands of prisoners were taken. The war in the Pacific was confined to mopping up operations against the Japanese on Okinawa and the Philippines.
Instrumental Quartet Will Be Featured On Student Recital
Marjorie Cooper, junior, will open with a piano solo "Humoreske" (Rachmaninof); Leona Moreland senior, will sing "Die Jungle Nonne" (Schubert); and Lucile Rothenberger, sophomore, will continue the program by playing "Sonata. Opus 81" (Beethoven). Frances Hodges, freshman, will play "Chaconne" (Durand-Salvedo) on the harp.
Patricia Burke Cloud, freshman, will sing "Oh Patria Mi'n" from the opera "Aida" (Verdi). An ensemble with Margaret Snodgrass, piano; Peggy Kay, violin; Ruth Russell, viola; and Martha Lee Baxter, 'cello; will close the program. They will play "Piano Quartet in G minor" (Brahms).
There will be another recital next week. The following Thursday Prof. C. P. Osborne, philosophy department, will talk to students of the School of Fine Arts on the "Problems of the Aesthetics."

Kansan Comments YWCA Drive Gave Chance to K.U. To Exhibit American Generosity
By collecting one ton of garments in its clothing drive last week, the YWCA helped the University to take part in a worthwhile nation-wide project. The United National Clothing Collection, which was a united effort on the part of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation administration and various relief agencies of the United States, will be an effective gesture of peace toward the destitute people of liberated countries throughout the world.
Henry J. Kaiser, national chairman of the drive, has reported that the clothing contributed in local drives throughout the nation will be distributed free to men, women, and children in war-devastated countries. Organizers of the drive hope that the returns, which are to be collected by April 30, will be sufficient to cloth more than 125,000,000 persons in the liberated nations of Europe. Records show that more than 30,000,000 of these needy people are children.
It is gratifying to know that the American people can be called upon, as the more fortunate members of a large world family, to give help willingly to their fellowmen in distress. The drive was the only answer to the great emergency. Manufacture of the necessary quantities was impossible because the needs of the armed forces and the limited output of civilian goods completely absorbed any surplus stock. A nationwide donation was the only alternative. Mr. Kaiser expressed the hope that the traditional generosity
Exhibit on India Sent to University By British Embassy
A 3,000 pound exhibit on India will be on display in the Union lounge either tonight or tomorrow, Eugenia Hepworth, Union activities chairman, has announced.
The exhibit was sent to the University by the British embassy in connection with the British War Information service. The exhibit will consist of photographs showing India's resources, its military forces, and how it is cooperating with the war and with the world.
"We expected a much smaller exhibit and that is the reason for the delay in presenting it," Miss Hepworth said.
Charlie Black Given Flying Cross in Italy
Lt. Charles B. Black, Jr., has been awarded the distinguished flying cross in Italy with the 12th air force.
Lieutenant Black was in his final semester at the University in the department of physical education when he entered the service in February, 1943. He was forward on the University's 1942 "Iron Five" basketball team.
Mrs. Black, the former Lovena Morgan, who also attended the University, and their baby daughter are making their home with Lieutenant Black's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Black, 1709 Louisiana street.

of the American people would not fail to be exhibited again in this campaign which set a goal 10 times greater than that of any previous drive of its kind.
Most contributors experienced a feeling of satisfaction and personal responsibility as they donated clothing for the unfortunate of the world. Their contributions soon will be shipped to the war-torn countries on the basis of the greatest immediate need and available shipping space. The clothing then will be distributed free to the needy without discrimination of any kind. The Far East, including the Philippines, will receive a share of the donations if conditions favorable to distribution exist.
Every item of the University's contribution will help the United States and the United Nations in renewing for unfortunate war victims a hope in the fellowship of nations—a desire for international cooperation to help all those in need.

George, has a hidden talent somewhat similar to Alec Templeton's but then again, it is somewhat different. Anyway, George has enlarged upon Templeton's plan and sits down at the piano to play chopsticks with one hand, scales with the other, while singing "Carry Me Back." The talented V-12 has been known to perform his skit over and over for as many as 14 times. All we're waiting for is his senior recital.

Saturday night saw Nancy, looking her prettiest with her date at the door of the dance, for more than a few minutes, arguing with the ticket taker. It seems that Nancy was slightly perturbed with Don as he had sold her a ticket to the Varsity football game, held a week before, instead of a ticket for the dance. It is reported that Nancy finally traced Don and entered the舞 an hour late.

Sen. 'Happy' Chandler Elected New Czar
To fill the shoes of the late Judge K. M. Landis, Sen. Albert B. (Happy) Chander, of Kentucky, was elected baseball commissioner yesterday.
A unanimous vote of the 16 major league club owners or representatives named the former governor of the blue grass state to the job with a 7-year term at an annual salary of $50,000.aller Is Available
Leslie O'Connor, the commissioner's secretary, a member of the board of three that has ruled over baseball since the death of Kenesaw Mountain Landis, November 25, 1944, reported that the new commissioner would take office within a reasonable time. In Washington, Chandler said he would be available immediately.
Commissioner Chandler was chosen after a quiet four-hour discussion during which the fireworks previously expected did not occur. The group favoring immediate selection of a successor to Judge Landis was prepared for a long fight which failed to materialize.
Committee Reports
There was little argument after the committee of four, composed of Alva Bradley, of Cleveland; Don Barnes, of St. Louis Browns; Sam Breadon, St. Louis Cardinals; and Phil Wrigley, Chicago Cubs, made its report.
Although the club owners declined to name the others who were discussed, it was learned that Gov. Frank J. Lausche, Ohio; Bob Hannegan, chairman of the Democratic national committee; James A. Farley, and President Ford Frick of the National league were mentioned.
Chandler, as a graduate of the University of Kentucky and Harvard Law schools, becomes the second lawyer commissioner of baseball. Judge Landis served on the federal bench until he was chosen to set baseball's house in order after the Chicago White Sox scandle of 1919.
Softball Intramural Blanks Available
Intramural softball entry blanks can still be procured at the intramurals office, Ray Kanehl, assistant director of intramurals, announced this morning. Eight teams have already entered the tournament, and more entries are expected within the next few days.
Play in the league will probably not begin until the rain ceases for sure, Mr. Kanehl said, and the playing fields are in shape. This may not be until the latter part of next week. A single round robin tournament will be played.
Women's Softball Games Cancelled Because of Rain
Socball games to have been played at 4:30 p.m. today between Gamma Phi and Sigma Kappa, Kappa and Harman and Miller and Pi Phi, have been called off because of the bad weather, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced.
The games will be continued to be called off if weather conditions remain the same. Miss Hoover said.

Col. Powell Receives Bronze Star Medal For Medical Work
Col. Lyle S. Powell, 52, former instructor at the University, recently has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal "for meritorious service."
Colonel Fowell is a medical officer for a field headquarters of the Chinese Combat Command in south-central China. He arrived in China in February, 1944, after a brief period in India, and was sent to the Hengyang area of eastern China. He joined a group of Americans engaged in advising, supplying and training the Chinese armies in their battle against the Japanese aggressors.
In addition to treating the Chinese soldiers, Colonel Powell also operated a school for Chinese military medical men until he was recalled to the American base at Kweilin to act as surgeon of the large body of American officers and enlisted men in that city.
Floods have again become a threat as the rainfall continues, reaching an amount for the past three days at noon today of 1.40 inches. The rainfall from 7 p.m. yesterday to noon today was .66 inches, according to C. J. Posey, cooperative weather observer.
Floods Threaten As Rains Continue
However, cold weather, forecast for tonight, may result in the end of the rain. A near freezing temperature is the forecast for the western part of the state tonight, with a low of 40 to 45 degrees in the eastern section.

Dates, Locations For State Meets Are Decided
Dates and locations for the state high school golf, tennis, and track meets have been definitely decided. E. A. Thomas, commissioner of the Kansas Activities Association, announced from Topeka yesterday. The golf event will be held at Salina on May 11 and 12; the state tennis meet at Topeka on May 11 and 12; while the state track meet will take place at Wichita, May 18 and 19.
The state baseball meet, the first one in the history of the association, will probably be held at Wichita on May 10 and 11. The finals will be held on Friday night under the lights of Wichita's Lawrence stadium.
Entries in the baseball meet have not been determined. However it is planned to select the strongest eight teams in the state to compete in the two day event, on the condition that each team have at least two starting pitchers. Teams playing ball throughout the state who could be considered tournament possibilities at the present time include Dodge City, Newton, Wichita East, Wichita North, Wichita Cathedral, Winfield, El Dorado, Pittsburg, Wyandotte, and Topeka. Some small schools may wish to enter, but the pitching problem may be a problem to them.
First round games will probably go seven innings, while final and semifinal contests will go the full nine innings route. Pitchers will be limited to one full game, while the problem of working parts of all the games has not been fully worked out yet.
Crook, Moore Participate In Panel Discussion
Jim Crook and Jean Moore represented K. U. in a panel discussion with four participants from Emporia at 4:30 p.m. Friday in the Little theater of Green hall.

"MURDER IN
THE BLUE ROOM"
Since the apple in the garden of Eden, people have always wanted what they could not have. Valuable items have always been rare, or they ceased to be of value. Things out of season have been considered a luxury because they are hard to get. What could be more out of season than flowers in winter? Yet, here in the University greenhouse, flowers bloom all four seasons.
University Has Flowers Blooming In Greenhouses All Four Seasons
Greenhouses Here for Thirty Years Two greenhouses, a conservatory, plus a 10 acre nursery for plants in the summer, are located in the sloping area behind Fowler shops. Mrs. James Reiter, assistant greenhouse foreman reports that the greenhouses and the nursery have been here for more than 30 years, and the conservatory was built three years ago.
Conservatory for Show Purposes
The east greenhouse and the nursery supply plants for the flower beds on the campus. Extra flowers are cut for offices, and for social functions of the University, she added, and the conservatory is used for show purposes.
Flowers and plants in the west greenhouse are used for classroom study. Mrs.Reiter explained. Prior to the war some botanical experiments were carried out, but these have been temporarily discontinued.
Pastel snap-dragons, red, pink, and white geraniums, carnations, and yellow, orange, and rust chrysanthemum's are but a few of the multi-color variety of flowers that bloom at the greenhouse.
In summer, the 10 acre nursery with yellow, purple, and white iris, splashes of red and pink peonies, danity tube roses, and majestic gladioli, form a sea of blazing color.
Frost in May Threatened
The flowers are put in the beds the first part of May, Mrs. Reiter said when most of the danger of frost is over. The weather did the unexpected last year, she continued, when a freak snow storm occurred the 15th of May. To keep the plants from freezing, from 7000 to 10,000 tin cans were used to cover them.
The conservatory building was shipped here from Kansas City three years ago, Mrs. Reiter said, to accommodate some tropical plants

Walking into the room is like walking into a tropical scene. A 25 foot banana tree, with banana's on it almost ready to pick, stands in the center. Other tropical plants include a fig plant, with figs, cocanut plants, sent a year ago from Hawaii, and a southern magnolia tree. The temperature is kept at 73 degrees during the winter to protect them.
Students from the drawing and painting, and design departments use the conservatory as an inspiration for compositions, or modify the flowers for pattern designs.
Colored tropical birds, blue, green, and yellow, from Australia and Brazil, sing amid palms and red bougainvillea. A long pool, running the length of the room, filled with goldfish, completes the picture.

'Phog' Thanks Faculty, Students For Generosity
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, chairman of the campus Red Cross drive, said today he wished to express his "hearty thanks" to those who had been so generous and cooperative in making the Red Cross drive a success.
Dr. Allen said he felt the contributions were exceptional with the reduced personnel, especially military and naval, from last year. He highly commended the students on their part.
Dr. Allen commented that he had not set a quota for the campus drive for he felt that all K. U. students and faculty could be relied upon to contribute intelligently to drives of this kind.
Faculty donations were $2,710.50.
and students contributed $1,473.37
a total of $4,183.87. Last year's
drive netted $4,555.11.
"Had we had the same number of persons on the campus this year as last, 'Im sure we would have exceeded last year's total,' Dr. Allen said.
"Many faculty members and their wives contributed generously downtown, too," he added, "and we weren't able to count these contributions on the Hill total."
Jay Janes Donate $100 to Stadium Debt
The Jay Janes will give a $100 bond in the current drive to erase the Memorial stadium debt, Mary Olive Marshall, president announced today.
The Jay Janes voted to give the bond in compliance with E. C. Quigley's request that various student organizations on the Hill aid in the drive. The bond will be presented to Mr. Quigley sometime next week, Miss Marshall said.
The formal spring intiation of Jay Jane pledges will be held Thursday, May 10, Miss Marshall also announced. The initiation dinner, followed by the formal ceremony, will be held at the Hearth.
Dance proceeds from the All-University dance to be sponsored on May 4 by the Student Union activities will go into the Danforth Chapel fund, Eugenia Hepworth, president, announced.
Dance Proceeds To Be Given to Fund
The informal dance will be in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. The Navy V-12 band will furnish the music.
In addition to dancing there will be added attractions which have not yet been announced. ___
Headquarters for the I. S. A. and Independents have been set up next to the Jayhawk office in the subbasement of the Union, Rosalie Erwin, Independent president said today.

University Receives Grant of $52,257 For Nursery Project
The University has received a federal grant of $52,257, allotted by the Federal Works agency, to cover cost of maintenance and operation of child care projects in Lawrence and at Sunflower Village, Senator Arthur Capper has announced.
The fund will aid in the maintenance and care of the 247 children served by the five units, according to Mrs. Ralph W. Bunn, administrative director of the University Nursery schools. The grant will cover the period ending June 30, 1945.
The child care program, which includes five units in Lawrence and Sunflower Village, is sponsored by the University. The nurseries in Lawrence are located at the Unitarian church, 1201 Vermont street, and the University Nursery school, 1100 Missouri street.
A double nursery school and an extended care school are the three units at Sunflower Village.
K.U. Has Second Largest Circulating Film Library
Rainfall Occurs On Half of Days In This Month
Mr. Montgomery became interested in the showing of pictures as a sideline to his teaching. The University has had a Bureau of Visual Instruction for 38 years, having its beginning in 1907. In the department there are only five full time people and 20 assistants. This department now ranks second in its size to all departments of its kind in the United States. All Educational Films
A motion picture running 24 hours a day for a month could be shown by the Bureau of Visual Instruction if its complete library of 4,000 reels was placed end to end in one continuous film, Fred S. Montgomery, director of the Bureau, said today. And, he added, the subjects would include everything "from molecules to mountains, from Hannibal to Hitler."
All the films that the department handles are educational ones. The department has an estimate of 4,000 reels and the Museum of Modern Art has about a half million feet of film. The department has shipped some 25,000 reels to 41 states, most of these going to schools, churches, and other various organizations. To acquire a motion picture a certain
The total rainfall from 7 a.m. yesterday until the rain stopped last night was 1.42 inches, according to Prof. C. J. Posey, cooperative weather observer. So far in April, rain has fallen on 14 out of the 28 days.
Cancellation of the Adele Anderson recital was announced by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts today.
Anderson Recital Tomorrow Cancelled
The sun has, temporarily, at least, replaced the rain and cool winds that have prevailed during the past several days.
Miss Anderson, soprano, was to appear tomorrow in Fraser theater for a short voice recital. She received word today that her mother is critically ill following a heart attack and is returning immediately to Seattle.
However, with four days remaining in the month there is still a chance of overtaking the record rainfall of 9.11 inches for the month which fell in April, 1944.
The Little Blue river was a half foot over its banks at Hanover last night, and the Neosho river was still flooding at Parsons and Oswego. A bridge between Ottawa and Garnet on the Mariais des Cygnes river has been washed out, and buses are running behind schedule because of the detour they are forced to make, according to information received from the bus depot.
The artist was in Kansas City for a recital yesterday, and after visiting here was to go to New York for an audition with the Metropolitan opera company.
Miss Anderson was to have been the guest of Miss Mabel Elliott, professor of sociology.
fee is charged according to the desired picture.
The Bureau of Visual Instruction now handles only 16 millimeter films. This size film is not very inflammable because it is a safety size film, but when it gets extremely hot it will melt.
Mr. Montgomery thinks that the showing of motion pictures is doing a magnificent job to educate the people. Showing motion pictures builds attitudes, teaches skills, creates by animation, and can recreate It is a proved fact that more ques

Russians Storm Heart of Berlin As Reuters Reports Yank-Soviet Link-up on Central German Front
There were bright prospects that the "big four" would lead the 46 delegations to early solutions of the confrontial trusteeship, Polish and Argentine issues.
(International News Service)
The Russian "three vote" bid and the veto power of the "big five" in the security council are equally important. However, they are not likely to be settled in the early days of the conference.
Russian troops stormed through the heart of Berlin, almost to within hand grenade range of their main objective—Adolph Hitler's chancellery on the Wilhelmstrasse.
Moorhead To Speak At Journalism Dinner
William B. Moothead, who has been the Kansas City Star police reporter for more than 32 years, will speak next Wednesday to members of the journalism department at a dinner at the Colonial tea room.
San Francisco, (INS) — The United Nations conference for a new world security organization moved solomly toward its first business session today under a plea from President Truman to give suffering humanity a "better world" with enduring peace.
Big Four Solemnly Begins Business Session Today
The newspaper Red Star, official organ of the Russian army, reported that the Soviets now are in the geographical center of Berlin, closing in on high-ranking administrative buildings which the Nazis defended with grim tenacity.

"The biggest loss in help has not been among the carriers as much as the clerks."

V-Bomb Attacks on England Cease In London, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced to Commons that Nazi V-bomb attacks on southern England and the British capital have ceased. Simultaneously, the security blackout covering details of these assaults was lifted partially and correspondents reported 1050 V-2 bombs hit Britain killing 2754 persons and injuring 6523. The assaults started Sept. 8, 1944, and ended last March 27.
In northern Italy, German control seemed to be disappearing. Both Genoa and Turin were reported liberated by Italian patriots and street fighting was said to be in progress inside Milan.
The Americans crossed the Danube at three places, while far to the north the British Second army occupied Bremen and pushed ahead in fighting nearly as bitter as that facing the Russians in Berlin.
Advancing Allied armies pushed northward from the Po river toward the Brenner pass, sweeping beyond Mantua to points within less than 20 miles from Verona.
BULLETIN
New gains were made on northern Luzon Islands. On Okinawa also American marines pushed ahead but their progress was slow and Japanese defense bitter.
New York, (INS) — The Swiss Telegraph agency said today that it had received "reliable reports" that Benito Mussolini had been captured by Italian patriots in the town of Pallanza on the west shore of Lake Maggiore.
The Swiss dispatch, disclessed by the O. W. I., said that the report indicated that Mussolini reached Fallanza after fleeing from Milan.
Moscow, (INS) — The Capture of Brutenn, in Czechoslovakia, was announced tonight by Premier Marshall Joseph Stalin in his second special order of the day. The first announced the fall of Stettin, Baltic port for Berlin.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 26,1945
Kansan Comments World Looks to San Francisco For Machinery of Lasting Peace
"The work of the peace is not for one of us but for all of us . . . It will come only through the cooperative effort of all." Echoing those words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, delegates from 46 nations are sitting shoulder to shoulder at San Francisco this afternoon in the first full-day session of the latest United Nations' search for peace.
At the California conference, more bricks will be added to the generally hazy peace structure, on the foundation laid at Dumbarton Oaks and Yalta. With rosy-tinted visions of the future, representatives are expected at this meeting to decide certain technicalities of the postwar federation of nations.
To frame the world peace machine, the conference is expected to follow the Dumbarton Oaks plan, which provides for an international organization split into five sections: the 11-nation security council, the assembly, the international court, and two advisory groups including the military staff committee and the economic and social council.
One of the major problems facing conference representatives is the question of the security council voting procedure. The present plan gives five permanent seats on the council to the Big Five: Russia, China, Great Britain, the United States, and France. The remaining seats are to be rotated among all other member nations for 2-year periods. Seven of the 11 votes would be necessary for a majority.
The following voting plan will be offered at San Francisco by the United States, Britain and Russia:
When the council is only debating whether a nation is threatening the peace, or when it recommends peaceful solutions, the council majority vote must include only the Big Five nations not involved in the dispute. But when it comes to cutting off a nation economically, or sending troops against it, the majority vote must include all the Big Five, even if one of them is involved in the dispute. It is believed that i
Women's Advisory Headquarters Moved
The adviser of women's office is now "open for business" in room 121. Frank Strong hall, after a residence of three years in room 104, Fraser hall.
The moving Monday will allow the home economics department to take over room 104 Fraser. In addition to private offices for Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, women's adviser, and Miss Marie Miller, assistant, a large reception room is also available.
Publisher Accepts Burdick Treatise On Criminal Law
A treatise on criminal law entitled, "The Law of Crime," recently completed by Dean William L. Burdick, dean emeritus of the Law School, has been accepted by a New York publishing company.
The work, made up of two volumes, is a result of Dr. Burdick's 47 years of teaching experience at the University, Dean F. J. Moreau, of the Law School said today.
Dr. Burdick, who celebrated his 85th birthday anniversary March 23, retired from active teaching two years ago.

the top powers split on such an im-important decision as a war vote, it will mean war, anyway.
"No nation of the world will be denied the right to have a fair hearing of its case on the Security Council, and . . . the equal, democratic rights of all nations will be respected," Edward R. Stettinius stated at the Inter-American conference ir Mexico City on March 5.
The manner of formal registration of decision is, however, of less importance than the fact that there must be some form of world organization which can provide a world forum of opinion. This is the important issue which delegates must decide.
"If we do not want to die together in war, we must learn to live together in peace," President Truman said last night in opening the meeting. The world looks to SanFrancisco for its assurance to living.

Troop E remained at its post and held off the enemy until such times as reserves could come up and decisively repel the enemy attack.

Rock Chalk Talk
BY ANNE SCOTT
Girl on the flying trapeze—Was it love of school or just the circus coming out in her? We haven't decided, but Ina Roderick seems to like swinging from windows. The other day fellow Corbinites imprisoned Ina, Ruth Prentice, Bobbe Jane Parker, and Betty Jennings in their room on third with a clothes line tied across the door. Poor Ina, frantically determined to get to her 1:30 on time just once, decided to escape from the window. With the three other girls holding her arms, she swung above the cold pavement. She swung and she swung until she was over an adjoining porch balcony. There she dropped, panting but happy. It wasn't until then that she began to worry. Oh, that pavement would have been hard and cold, especially from the third floor—and she had a good (?) excuse to miss that 1:30, too.

San Antonio, here they come—Off to be bridesmaids in San Antonio "Nammy" Moore and Marge Snyder didn't realize, as they left the KAT house, what a send-off they soon would receive. As they waited for the 6:50 train at the Santa Fe station, they noticed five-vaguely familiar figures hiding in a parked car. The jig was up so Theta sisters, Lila Doughman, Katie Burchfield, Saddly and Ginny Phipps, and an obliging freshman who had gone along to blast the guble, crept from their limousine. Dresses in an assortment of jeans, anklets, heels, long coats, and blankets, they besieged their departing sisters with a lunch pail, bouquets (only two weeks old), True Confession magazines, and rice. With a heralding ta-ta-ta from the bugle, our embarrassed bridesmaids—to be climbed on the train—rice dripping at every step. Spectators "Ku Ku" Kuklenski and Keith Congdon were just a little bewildered by it all.
Naney Love, Fi Phi, and thinking he was quite alone broke out into said song. Unknown to Georgie, Burris Jones and Jack Miller also were rambling through the hall. So, at dinner that night George was greeted by his arrangement of the popular melody. Maybe KU has a new Frankie on its hands!

Prof. D. L. Patterson Relates Experiences In World War I
A holiday war correspondent. Prof. D. L. Patterson of the history department called himself today, as he told of his experiences in World War I reporting the stalemate on the western front in 1916 and 1917.
"I got credentials as a correspondent from the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times and Chronicle-Telegraph where I had formerly worked, went to France when my classes were over in the spring, and then returned for the fall term," Professor Patterson related.
He covered the entire western front, going into the trenches which stretched from sinside Belgium at the north to the Swiss border, he said, and sent weekly dispatches of feature material to his papers. He spoke of working with such well-known reporters as Floyd Gibbons, Charles Edward Russell, and Junius B. Wood.
Picture of First Old-Style Helmet
Picture of First Old-Style Helmet Professor Patterson claims the distinction of having photographed the first American soldiers to wear the famous old style steel trench helmet. The first U.S. troops to go into the front lines had to be supplied with French helmets while the American
version was being put into production, he explained.
"Correspondents were quartered with command posts in the rear in those days." he said, "and not allowed to go directly into the trenches where the fighting took place."
Sees Yanks March Into Paris
He remembers when Floyd Gibbons broke the regulations to get a closer view of battle and lost an eye from machine gun fire to pay for his brashness.
Professor Patterson worked for seven years on the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Gazette-Times and its evening edition, the Chronicle-Telegraph, and was city editor when he left to take up teaching. He went first to the University of Wisconsin where he both studied and taught, and came to K.U. in 1908.
Mr. Patterson was in Paris when the first contingent of the American army marched through on July 4, 1917. The cheering was tremendous, he said, nearly as great as when small units from the French army were brought to Paris from various points at the front for the Bastille Day celebration just 10 days later.
The Latest Model in Modern Housewives On Display at Home Economics Cottage

The K. U. home economics practice cottage was built new for the home ec department 15 years ago.
It is well-furnished, although there have been no current additions or changes because of the war.

All home economics majors must spend six weeks of their junior or senior year living in the cottage,

where they carry on the normal processes of homemaking. Before going to the house, the future homemakers have had basic courses in foods, nutrition, and home management, and they put to use at the cottage what they have learned in the classroom.
All the little details involved in home living are brought together in the home economics cottage where emphasis is placed upon combination and joint execution of such things as buying, preparing meals, serving, budgeting, housecleaning, and entertaining.

Landscaping the house receives special attention, and plans for planting that will make the house especially suited to a university campus are to be carried out soon.

K.U. Track Team To Enter Events In Drake Relays
Jayhawk track and field men will compete in four events at the Drake Reliefs in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday. Ray Kanehl, track coach announced today.
Leroy Robison, who set a new meet record in the javelin at Norman, Okla., April 14, will throw the stick in the Iowa meet, and Jim Sargent, who tied with Robison for first in high jump at the Oklahoma contest, is also entered in that event in the Relays. Sargent won a first in high jump at Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 3.
A team composed of John Jackson, Owen Peck, Kenneth Danneberg, and Richard Hudson will represent Kansas in the sprint medley. Danneberg equalled the track record at Norman in the 100-yard dash.
Coach Kanehle is not sure who his mile relay team will be, but he expects to use Lynn Leigh, winner of the board jump in the dual meet with Nebraska, John Jackson, Danneberg, and either Hudson or Rolland Hamilton. A Kansas mile team made up of Jackson, Leigh, Danneberg, and John Stites took first in the Nebraska meet.
In last year's Drake Relays, Robison placed third in the javelin, and the mile relay team placed fifth. Lynn Leigh, Frank Stannard, Bob Lillibridge, and Jim Richey, comprised the 1944 mile team.
Kansas placed one second and four thirds in last year's Relays.
Kanehl and his cindermen will leave at 6:50 p.m. tomorrow, and will return Sunday morning.

"Special deliveries have increased and are coming in at the rate of about 3,300 a month," he said. "This and the difficulties with packages improperly wrapped, due to the paper shortage, create more work."
Other difficulties arise from servicemen's wives using their husband's free mail privilege for sending letters to friends. At least three or four cases have been discovered in Lawrence the assistant disclosed.
Even with increased package mailing few cases of insured parcel losses have not arisen. Not at any time have registered packages been lost during the history of the post-office he further explained.
A wine bottle poorly wrapped, recently caused trouble for the receiver, when it came through spoiled The contents soaked the package and exposed the parcel as containing alcohol, an illegal item to send. Abuse of Mail Privileges

The Faces Change

"Where'd you come from," seems to be the query this spring when the college football player out for spring practice eyes his coach. This spring has seen the largest nonmilitary turnover of coaches in recent years, with Bernie Gierman's return to the Minnesota campus and Tuss McLaughry's release to Dartmouth the only two with a military slant.

Notre Dame, the usual pace-setter in anything pertaining to football, did the same this year in naming Hugh Devore to succeed Ed McKeever, ex-Irish mentor who filled in for Carl Snavely at Cornell. Snavely had recently accepted a position as head coach at North Carolina. Cleam Crawle, line coach of the Ramblers from South Bend, also left to become head man at Iowa, while Adam Walsh, another Irish assistant, was signed as head coach of the Cleveland pro outfit.
Two well-known Irish alumni, Buck Shaw and Creighton Miller, also have migrated to greener fields. Shaw formerly at Santa Clara, has replaced Stub Allison at California, while Miller is chief assistant to Howie Odell at Yale.
Returning to the gridiron this fall are Vanderbilt, Princeton, and Detroit. Bobby Bartling will handle the Commodores, Charles Baer, ex-Ilinii assistant, will be at Detroit and Charles Caldwell will move from Williams to direct the Tigers.

V-E 'Draws Near' As Eisenhower Tells of Junction
(International News Service)
Washington, April 27 (INS)—President Truman today announced the long expected junction of American and Soviet armies at Torgau, on the Elbe river, 75 miles south of Berlin.
The President tersely asserted, "The enemy has been cut in two!"
The juncture took place when patrols of the two armies met at 2:40 p.m. EWT April 25.
A junction in force of large units of the two armies followed at 2 p.m. EWT yesterday (April 26).
Units of the American 69th Division were the first to meet the Soviet armies.
President Truman said that the junction does not mean that the hour of final victory in Europe is here, but, he declared "The hour draws near."
The President called upon the American nation not to relax efforts on the home front in any manner until our enemies are finally subdued in Europe and in the Pacific.
Mr. Truman hailed the junction of the Anglo-American armies with the Soviet forces as a "great triumph of Allied arms and Allied strategy" and "a tribute to the courage and determination of Franklin Roosevelt as no words could ever speak."
Simultaneous announcement of the junction but with different statements were made also in London and Moscow.

The battle of Germany moved into its final stage today with official announcements in London, Washington, and Moscow that American, British and Soviet armies have joined hands at Torgau, on the Elbe river.
Formal announcement was made in the three major world capitals the moment Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower flashed word from his supreme headquarters in Paris that an initial patrol junction expected on Wednesday had been expanded into a solid, unbreakable fusion of Angle-American-Russian solidarity.
At the same time American Third army troops rolled over the Austrian frontier today in a giant thrust which saw cooperating columns capture and outflank Regensburg, key point in the German defense line. Regensburg fell to the 65th and 71st Infantry Divisions at 3 p.m. (9 a.m. EWT).

A.S.C. Rates Applause for Survey But Faculty Holds Key to Success
Other than a small note in the Daily Kansan several days ago indicating that the All Student Council committee on faculty evaluation had submitted its findings to the administration. few students have heard much about it since the poll was taken.
A great deal of work was done by the members of the committee—work which has not been recognized as it should have been. It is obvious that the original poll had to be organized and supervised by the memembers of the committee. Their big job, however, came after the evaluation blanks were returned from the students. The members of the committee, with the valuable assistance of the committee's faculty advisers, digested, in as fair a manner as possible, the contents of the individual blanks into comprehensive reports on each faculty member. A discussion of the method used has no place here, but it was so planned as not to diminish the validity of the report at all.
The next thing to be done, of course, was to get copies of the report to the people who have use for them. A copy was submitted to the administration. Letters were sent out to all members of the faculty, inviting them to request copies of their personal evaluations by the students. We hope that the ASC will be delibuted with requests.
But the important question is the results of the affair. It remains to be seen whether the faculty is really more interested in teaching students than subjects, whether its members are really interested in students' opinions of them. It remains to be seen what use the administration will make of the report. One administration representative, however, made the statement that the report came remarkably close to already existing administrative opinion. One interesting result—shortly after the

Prof. Gibson Warns Against Optimism At Last YW Coffee
Prof. Hilden Gibson, of the political science department, discussed peace conferences at the final meeting in the Y.W.C.A. series of four coffee-hours on current affairs last night.
Professor Gibson said that the United States must look ahead and plan for the future, and not be misled by the optimism of today. He stated that there are two main ways of preventing war—either to have an international force with enough power to surpress uprisings, or to remove the forces that cause disagreement, such as economic instability.
The San Francisco conference will probably result in a modified League of Nations, with the United States as a member, he believes. Professor Gibson also warned that definite plans should be formed now to avoid a post-war depression. After his discussion, he answered questions asked by guests.
The meeting was at the home of Dean J. H. Nelson. About 40 guests attended.
Graduates Elected Directors of Society
Victor Conquest and James K Stewart, both graduates of the University, have been elected directors of the Chicago Section American Chemical society.
Mr. Conquest, a research director for Armour and Company, Chicago, received his master of science degree from the University in 1920. Dr. Stewart, who is a technical advisor in the Sherwin-Williams company, Chicago, was graduated in 1915.
The Chicago Section is a professional organization of 2500 chemists and chemical engineers engaged in a wide variety of industrial and educational activities in the Chicago area. It will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year.

Servicemen's Gifts On Display in Library
An exhibit of gifts sent by servicemen from outside the continental United States is on display at the library.
Included in the display is a sequin jacket from Nancy, France, donated by Jean Boardman; a bracelet from Paris, owned by Rosamund Rowe, a compact from Nancy, and a handkerchief with the French translation on it "At last and forever," both donated by Caroline Morrisr.
Three French notes are displayed, a 50 franc note donated by Evelyn Sutherlin, and two five franc ones owned by Caroline Morris and Everett Sutherland. The blank spaces seen on the French notes contain water marks, when held up to the light. These marks are to guard against counterfeiting.
This exhibit will be changed Wednesday, Miss Mildred Hershey, reference librarian, announced, and a display on gifts from the Pacific and India will replace it. The third week, articles from the rest of Europe will be shown.
The library will be happy to display any article students bring in from overseas servicemen, Miss Hershey said.

The platform committee of the Independent Women's Political Party met last night in the Union building to draft a platform for the coming election.
A change in the name of the party also was discussed to avoid confusion of the organization with the separate Independent Student association or with the unorganized independents.
Committee members are Elaine Thalman, College sophomore and chairman of the committee; Donna Mae Wingerson, College junior; Mary Arlene Wisner, College freshman; Anna Marie Stevens, College junior; Louise McIntire, Fine Arts junior; and Jean McIntire, College freshman.
Another meeting of the committee will be held at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Memorial Union building.

Whoever pitches for the team from Carruth, won't be the one Earl Barney wanted. In rounding up a softball squad for his own house, the erstwhile sports editor found himself minus a hurler but knew of a coed pitcher who, he says, is good enough to suit him.

The question is, can he use her?
Barney declares, "there's nothing in the rules to stop me."
But Ray Kaneh says it can't be done. "The women have their own intramural program, and if we allow Barney to use a woman pitcher, it would set a precedent that would soon have things mixed up."
There the matter stands. Barney still hasn't filled out his team.
Nergo Question Revived
The question of Negro participation in major league baseball is revived again in Washington, this time by Rep. Vito* Marcantonio, (A. L., New York). He has called for an investigation of the extent of what he termed discrimination in employment because of "race, creed, or color."
The New York congressman thus continues in line with the precedent set by his state in its anti-discrimination labor legislation of a few months back.
The investigation asked for in his resolution would be made by the secretary of commerce.
Representative Marcantonio said that some Negro players are good enough to play in the top leagues, and pointed out that the proposed investigation would concern only the National and the American leagues, where no Negroes are playing.
The chairmanship squabble which upset yesterday's steering committee meeting, caused deep concern in the United States delegation headed by Sec. of State Stettinius, who had been expected to preside throughout the conference without opposition.

Il Duce Hangs Head Downward In Death in Patriot Revenge
Milan, (INS)—The bloody bodies of Benito Mussolini, his once beautiful young mistress and six of his public followers were hung head down in a public square before being surrendered to a vengeful populace, it was revealed today.
Milan, the city in which Musso-
olini conjured up a tyrannical Fascist
dream, was taken under control by
the Allies in the wake of a bizarre
demonstration of contempt in which
the populace reviled the dead form
of the executed dictators.
The battered body, lying with that of his mistress, Claretta Tetacci and 17 others of the fascist regime, presented one of the grimmest scenes of the war.
Crowds Break Through Guards
Crowds Break Through Guards
The remains of Mussolini and his cohorts, flung down in the Piazza Roretto, a public square, after being brought to Milan by patriot forces
Mussolini's end came on Saturday, when he and the members of his following were seized and shot in a village named Como, near a lake on the same night. Just prior to a fatal shot in the back he received from a firing squad, Mussolini was reported to have made a last desperate plea for his life by shouting, "No, No." Brought to Milan by Truck
which had executed them, were set upon immediately by angry crowds which burst through a cordon of guards.
The bodies of the former Duce and the others, including numerous ministers of the Nazi-sponsored fascist regime were brought by truck to Milan.
Persons in the milling crowds which gathered, spit on the limp forms of the Fascists and some dashed close enough to kick the shaven head of the dead Mussolini.
Premature News Of V-E Day Sweeps Nation
Premature celebration of V-E day swept the nation Saturday night, and students in Lawrence and surrounding cities were swept into the wave of jubilance over the reported surrender of the "master race."
Students weekending in Kansas City said that elation over Germany's supposed surrender resulted in an overflow of all the city's night spots.
Radios were turned off by many offer the first news had come through, and they didn't learn until Sunday morning that the President had announced there was no foundation for the rumor.
Reporter Sees San Francisco At Beginning of Peace Conference
Eloise Knox
(Editor's note: Eloise Knox, the University Daily Kansan correspondent at the San Francisco conference, is working with the International News Service, while attending the conference. Her first story, which was received by the Daily Kansan today, was airmailed from San Francisco Friday.)
San Francisco — This entire city shows signs of unusual activity. Hundreds of shiny army cars are being used exclusively to transport the delegates from place to place. Special buses also are provided to transfer larger groups. Automobiles not having the necessary "Press" or the official red and green stickers are not permitted within one block of the Veterans Memorial building and the War Memorial Opera house.
Genie Moore, College sophomore, and Orville Roberts, College junior, made a "clean sweep" of the newly initiated speech tournament Friday and Saturday at the Missouri Teacher's College in Warensburg, Mo. Prof. E. C. Buehler, University debate coach, announced today.
All afternoon, as we drove through the streets of San Francisco we saw people who were unmistakeably from far countries here for the conference.
K.U. Takes Top Place In Debate Tourney
Moore was awarded first place in poetry reading and oratory, and Roberts took first as the top debater at the tournament. The two University entrants tied each other for first place in temporary speaking. They won the debate division.
Visit "Home" of Orientals
After dinner in Chinatown, we visited the Palace, St. Francis, Sir Francis Drake, and Mark Hopkins—
Jimmy Byrnes' curfew failed to stop the celebration, which went on into the night.
the five official hotels. To me, the Mark Hopkins was the highlight of them all. The delegates from China, Great Britain, India, Lebanon, Liberia, Luxembourg, and Syria will be "at home" there during the United Nations Conference.
(continued to page four)
The general consensus of students Sunday morning, even those who were nursing headaches, was "It was fun while it lasted."

Two Students Injured In Bus Accident Friday on Highway 40
Janiie Ruth Nattier, College sophomore, and Mary Ruth Spiegel, College freshman, were injured in a bus accident Friday afternoon on highway 40 about six miles west of Lawrence.
(continued to page three)
Miss Spiegel was standing near the front of the bus and received cuts over her right eye and a sprained shoulder.
Miss Nattier was standing in the aisle at the time of the accident and received a broken index finger on the right hand.
The accident happened when a west bound Santa Fe bus carrying 54 passengers crashed into a culvert and turned over on its right side
While premature whopee reigned unconfined throughout the country, K.U. journalists, also carried away on an emotional jag by the phoney victory announcement, raced for the Shack to get the long-awaited V-E extra on the streets.
By approximately $13\frac{1}{2}$ minutes after 7, all lines were busy, Chicago INS was contacted, several radios were tuned way up (listeners waiting for a flash that would put "Laura" off the ether), the linotypes were warming up, the Daily Kansas's newsroom, composing room, press, and circulation, were ready for anything in the way of a confirmed report. Many papers, feeling that the confirmation was just a formality, went all the way and made a nice profit on their surrender extras.
The Chicago office of International News Service assured the Kansan that they were on the job and would be kicking through with the confirmation "momentarily."
Paul Zook, linotype operator; Tom Buckley, new ad manager; and Liz Baker, newly appointed editor-in-chief, were calmly working at their respective duties in the Shank, when Suilzman blew through to put them in the "know" on the surrender bulletin and started calling in the staff.

Stockholm Says Nazis Surrender To Big Three
Fresh reports of a new surrender offer by Heinrich Himmler heightened the tension in the world capital today as triumphant Allied armies made another juncture in Germany and continued the methodical dismantling of Hitler's Third Reich.
(International News Service)
Usherms at the concert, members of Phi Mu Alpha musical fraternity, will be Merton Anderson, Lawrence; Ted Gettys, Wayne; George Ton, Wichita; Bob Fountain, Sabetha; and Frank Stalzer, Kansas City.
Forty Chosen to Take Summerfield Finals
Don Cousins, V-12 student from Washington, D. C., will act as master of ceremonies of the concert program. Miss Irene Peabody, professor of voice at the University, is the Glee club director.
Glee Club Gives Concert Tonight
Combining a comic quartet, piano variations by the accompanist, and special entertainment from the master of ceremonies, with their own singing, the University of Kansas Women's Glee club will present a spring concert at 8 p.m. today. The group composed of 70 voices, will be celebrating its last appearance of the 1944-45 season.
Richard T. Kirchhoff and Austin Turney, University High school, are among the 40 finalists for Summerfield scholarship who will take the final examination at the University May 7 and 8.
The Stockholm radio reported that a new surrender, this time addressed to the United States, Great Britain and Soviet Russia, will be communicated "within the next few hours." The intermediary, the neutral radio continued, again will be Count Folke Bernadotte, chairman of the Swedish Red Cross. "Acceptance will come before the end of the week," the Stockholm radio reported with equivocation.
Robert L. Bailey and Franklin E. Fearing, Lawrence High school, are the two other Lawrence boys selected from a group of 150 to take the final examination.
Other students in Kansas who are finalists are Marvin G. Alexander, Leavenworth; Jo E. Anderson, Concordia; William D. Angle, Wichita East; Richard B. Barnett, Topeka Norman Baumann, Sylvan Grove, James R. Bowden, Wichita East; Key Brower, Hutchinson.

Conference to Decide Argentina Invitation
Washington, (INS)—The steering committee of the United Nations conference got down to business today on the question of inviting Argentina to meet with the other United Nations on drafting a world security organization. Observers predicted that Argentina would be invited along with White Russia and the Ukrain, but they insisted that Russia's bid for recognition of the Lublin Polish government would be turned down.
Rumors Report Hitler Dead
The capitulation reports completely overshadowed the actual fighting on the front, and persistent rumors in London held that Hitler was either dead or dying and that the next 48 hours may produce a vital development. The authoritative British press association even went so far as to speculate on the possibility of a May Day announcement tomorrow proclaiming the end of the war in Europe.
Other unconfirmed rumors in London said that Churchill may get up in the House of Commons tomorrow and make a sensational announcement.
But while these reports continued to circulate, the war itself went on with thunderous monotony.
Germans Drop Parachuters
Soviet troops constricted the hopeless defenders of bombed and fireravaged Berlin into a small area and burst out onto the Unter den Linden, the Reich capital's principal thoroughfare.
Gen. George S. Patton's Third American army swept unchecked toward Berchtesgaden and into Austria and the American Ninth made a new juncture with Soviet armies in the German town of Appelndorf, three miles west of Wittenburg.
Brochelm Virtual End of War in World
Battlefront dispatches said the Germans were dropping parachuters into Berlin as last-ditch reserve in the hopeless battle. The United States Seventh army marched trismphantly into Munich, birthplace of Nazism and liberated 38,000 half-starved and cruelly-tortured political Dachau, the dreaded Nazi concentration camp. Only a little while before, 27,000 American and British prisoners-of-war were freed at another camp at Mosseburg.
Proclamation End of War in Italy Gen. Mark Clark proclaimed the virtual end of German military (continued to page four)
Independents Extend Date for Petitions
The date for the return of petitions selecting primary election candidates of the Independent Party has been extended until tomorrow, Rosemary Harding, political chairman, has announced.
The petitions for all student council members or class officers must be signed by 35 persons and turned in to the Independent's office in the basement of the Union building. Students nominated by the direct primary election will be candidates in the all student election May 17.
Today had been set as the last day for the return of petitions. "Returns have been good but a few persons started late with their petitions so we are extending the time an extra day," Miss Harding explained.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 30, 1945
Kansan Comments Wartime Slumpers Must Abandon 'There's A War On' Inactivity Alibi
We need a swift kick in the pants. The time has come for students of this University to get out of the rut of lazy disinterestedness in campus activity. The war shouldn't be used as a mere excuse for postponement of campus events.
The Coed Volunteer Corps was organized two years ago so that University women could do their share in the war effort. Last year meetings were held weekly or bi-monthly, and CVC members were hard workers in the war drives. Plans were made early this year for its continuation, but the project seems to have died out completely. The war, certainly, was not the reason for the blackout of its activity, for CVC was created to promote interest in the war effort.
Recently the dramatics department cancelled production of plays for this semester because neither men nor women would take the time to try out for parts. Two-thirds of the Dramatics club failed to show up for tryouts. Not even a handful of the 1612 women or the 1165 men at this university were interested enough to promote what should be an outstanding part of college life. Why is it that men and women students at the University of Kansas City, at the University of Missouri, at all the other schools surrounding us, can find times to participate in school plays? If they can do it, why can't we?
What about the proposed student peace conference which was to be held The New York Times even endorsed our idea with a favorable write-up. Now we learn that the conference has been postponed until next fall, because "it is just a little late in the year for such things."
We have blamed our inactivity on the war long enough. If the excuse were rational, other universities throughout the country would also be sitting back on their laurels. And yet their worthwhile activities are going on as it did before the war. We must kick ourselves into activity soon; we've got it coming!
The idea of an all-University stunt night was excellent. Each house on the campus was to contribute entertainment. The whole thing, it was thought, would increase friendly relations between groups at Mt. Oread. It started out in a big way. It has now faded into oblivion.
Mathematics Oldest Science; Used More Than 2000 Years
Picture yourself in in a moth-eaten, bearskin "sarong," plodding, bure-footed, to your 8:30 class in Fraser hall each morning. That is, of course, ignoring the fact that Fraser hall, or any other of the campus structures, would be non-existent; that you would never have heard of an 8:30 class; and that you would be snoring away in the nearest and coziest cave.
The science of mathematics has that great an influence on our daily lives.
lives. "Our familiar newspaper would be comparatively empty, if originally, somewhere, a basic knowledge of geometry had not been known." Dean E. B. Stouffer, of the Graduate School and mathematics department, mused, "and there'd be no maps, either."
Even Slot Machines Are Affected Even the "one-armed bandit" of slot machine fame, which greedily eats up "small change" and rarely expresses its thanks, can be reduced to a formula.
"Slot machines are mechanically adjusted by calculating the field of probability—with the probabilities in favor of the machine." Prof. Stouffer explained.
Lacking mathematics, the alarm clock would be silenced to the immense relief of many early risers; the "Clock-watcher" group of humanity would be completely eliminated; and world affairs would be regulated by an hour glass. Though an extra period of uninterrupted sleep in the morning and a schedule less resembling a railroad timetable, sounds like the answer to the harried student's prayer, the disadvantages of the situation rather outnumber the advantages. Just as there would be no time limit on sleep and recreation, so there would be no method of blowing the "five o'clock whistle" after a "hard day at the office."

The List Is Endless
Gasoline rationing would certainly present no problem for the eternal pedestrian of the mathematicless world; the tire shortage would be a myth; and the war effort, not to mention the war itself, would be non-existent, as they are known today.
The list is endless.
For more than 2000 years, mathematics has helped the world to be a scientific and luxurious—if not always civilized existence. Mathematics is not only the oldest science, but is also as new as any advancing by leaps and bounds in all directions.

Thayer Exhibit Shows Designs For Needlework
"Tomorrow's Neddlework," an exhibition of 47 original designs for needlework, and 104 adaptations of these designs in wearing apparel and home furnishings, is on display now in the basement galleries of Thayer museum.
The display is sponsored by Woman's Day and is based on a series of eight articles that appeared in this publication during the past eight months.
In the exhibit, such familiar forms of needlework untilized are:
Crochet, knitting, applique, and embroidery, in hats, bags, dresses, rugs, and table linens.
The original designs were created by such well-known artists as Norman bel Geddes, creator of Futurama at the World's Fair in New York; Winold Reiss, famed in this country and Europe for his paintings of North American Indians; Raymond Loewy, industrial designer of locomotives, airplanes, and architecture; Ionika Karasz, Gustav Jensen, Lucille Corcos, and William Bolin.
Adaptations into actual garments and home furnishings from the designs were made by Elizabeth M. Roth, needlework editor of Woman's Day.
The display is mounted on a series of panels, designed by Xanti Schawinsky, noted display designer, to set the principle that any woman can create her own needlework designs by adapting to her own purposes the form, pattern or motif of the things about her. She need not be limited to traditional needlework designs.

Before, I had regarded luggage as only a necessity and a convenience, but the many, undistributed trunks, huge bags, and brief cases parked in the lobby were of special interest. One was marked "Chinese delegation," and other "England." Our only clue to the owner's names were three initials.
Talk to Chinese Delegate
At the Mark Hopkins, we saw many Chinese and other Orientals. We spoke to one tall, young Chinese, who was wearing the much to be desired official button, to find where he came from. "Somewhere in China," he told us.
After the excitement of the lobby, we went up to the top of the hotel. From the elevator, we stepped into a beautifully glassed in, dimly lighted skyroom. From four directions, we looked out across San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda. These cities are all very brilliantly lighted again.
Arabian Delegates Interesting
There were many types of people there, many persons wearing the official delegation button, some navy men, a few army, some wearing Canadian uniforms, some of New Zealand. Probably the most interesting people in the place were the five Arabian delegates, Ug Ibn Rihan, Jabar Ibn, Abdullah, Said Ibn Mugairin, Sulaiman Ibn Hamad and Zied El Jauhar. They were dressed in flowing robes and white headaddress held in place by gleaming gold head ropes.
Never before (but I hope to again) have I seen so many beautifully attired women. Not just one, not half a dozen, but many more were wearing orchid corsages, and others equally as rare. Gorgeous furs were seen everywhere.
All around us was life and gaiety. But as we departed, a casual glance several stories below disclosed a watchful soldier behind an anti aircraft gun in readiness for a possible Japanese sneak raid. At that moment, we realized anew the seriousness of the mission which brought celebrities the world over to the Golden Gate City.
Alert for Possible Raid
After leading the league with five straight victories, the Chi Sox were tripped yesterday by the 1944 American league champions, the St. Louis Browns. Losing two games to the Browns, 3-2, and 10-4, the White Sox are still pacing the American circuit, but by a scant margin.
It was the Chicago cub that stopped the Brown's early victory streak last year after the first nine games of the season.

Illinois Again Repeats
At the Drake relays Saturday the University of Illinois track squad, despite illness and injury, won three relay titles, the 880, the sprint medley, and the mile, to repeat for the third straight time as the outstanding team of the meet.
Bv LOREN KING
Their star spinner, Bill Buster pulled a muscle in the left leg in the 880, forcing the Illini to lose their 440 championship by default.
Top individual performance of the meet was turned in by Billy Moore of Western Michigan who came within 1/16 of an inch of the Drake relays record in a 14-foot pole vault. Moore is the national A.A.U. polevault champion and his Saturday mark was the best college mark of the year.
Moore's Performance Good
The new baseball commissioner, Sen. A. B. (Happy) Chandler has made his first decision.
Boston Wins Decision
Dutch Nieman of the Boston Braves hit a homer in the ninth inning, giving the Braves a victory over the Dodgers, 8-6.
Leo Durocher, Brooklyn manager,
with his tongue in his cheek, wired
Clandler, . . . "Hereby file protest."
Chandler jokingly said that he would give the game to Boston.

K.U. Area to Fill $8,000,000 Order For Sports Material
This area is expected to fill an eight-million-dollar order for sports equipment for the army, it was disclosed today by officials at the Kansas City quartermaster depot.
The order is seen as a move to relieve tension among war-weary Gi's who have to stay in Europe after VE day.
Two former University athletic directors, serving in Europe with the army of specialized service, will receive benefits from the equipment. They are H. W. Hargiss, former head football coach and track coach at the University, and Dean Nesmith, athletic trainer at the University.
