New Unit Will Be Started By Nov.1; Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois Chosen As Among 25 Additional Corps
(International News Service)
Washington, (INS) — The University of Kansas today was designated by the navy department as one of 25 additional educational institutions to have a navy Reserve Officers Training corps. Other Big Six Universities likewise designated are Nebraska and Missouri.
The unit will be set up November The University of Illinois was also included.
The unit will be set up November 1.
The new units were provided by recent legislation and are in addition to 27 units already in operation, Secretary James Forrestall said.
"We are pleased that our application has been approved by the navy," Chancellor Deane W. Matlote said this afternoon. "We are confident that young people will appreciate the opportunity that the Navy R. O. T. C. will afford."
Just how extensive the unit here will be is not yet known, local authorities said.
The navy program was started here July 1, 1942, when the machinist mates were given training. That ended in January, 1944 in favor of the electricians mates, which terminated last November.
The V-12 program for engineers and pre-medies was started on July 1, 1943, and is continuing until next November. The navy medical program was started in July 1943, and a flight-training program started by the Civil Aeronautics Authority in July 1943 gave way to the V-5 training which ended in August, 1944.
Juridicial Problems Face Conference
There are now 49 United Nations.
San Francisco, (INS—The United Nations conference turned to the great juridical problems of world security today after disposing of all pending political issues.
There are now 18 United Nations. The conference invited Argentina, White Russia, and the Ukraine to send delegations to San Francisco immediately but barred Poland for the second time.
The Polish invitation was pigconloled until a free government is established in Warsaw, broad enough to convince the United States and Britain that it is truly representative of all Polish factions. The conference juridical problems begin with the organization of four commissions, individually charged with the responsibility of formulation of different phases of the new security order.
Kansan Review Out Today Published Every Two Weeks
Men and women overseas no doubt will be interested in the content of the Kansan Review which came off the press yesterday and is ready for distribution.

Tummy-aches Among Children In Your Block?
"Yes, we have no bananas," Corbin hall mourned yesterday morning, after a two-day series of successful banana burglary.
Police who were called in Monday morning to investigate the disappearance of a crate of bananas found children's fingerprints on the broken kitchen window through which the thieves entered.
Early Saturday evening, during the janitor's absence, some youngsters removed the kitchen screen, entered, and stole more than half a crate of bananas.
The vandalism was repeated between 9:00 and 9:30 Sunday night, when presumably the same group of youngsters broke a window, entered, and carried away the rest of the bananas.

(International News Service)
A carefully-worded hint that the war in Europe may come to an end before this week is finished electrified the House of Commons today, for it came from the most cautious of all world spokesmen—Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Addressing parliament at a moment when Heinrich Himmler again was reported to have furnished a satisfactory answer to the allied demand for Germany's unconditional surrender, Churchill began with a disappointment and ended with a flourish.
New York—A radio monitor caught a message from Sweden today quoting Count Folke Bernadotte, Himmler's go-between, as saying that he bore no other surrender terms from Himmler than that he brought a few days ago when the German leader offered to surrender to England and the United States, but not to Russia.
"I have no statement to make," Churchill said when laborer Arthur Greenwood asked him to tell the House complete facts of the war situation.
Approximately 100 V-12's will be sent to the University for training which will begin July I, Lt. A. B. Copping, commander of the unit at K. U., announced yesterday.
This new group will take the place of the 100 men who will either graduate or be transferred in June, Lieutenant Coming said.
One Hundred V-12's Will Replace June Graduates,Transfers
The total number of V-12's on the campus will remain the same as it is now. about 300, he said.
Government Seizure Of Mines Threatened
A few changes will be made in the naval training program, Lieutenant Copping continued. Classes in naval science and tactics will be added to the course July 1 for those who ultimately will be sent to reserve officers' training.
Washington, (INS) — Surprise work stoppages in bituminous coal mines which brought an immediate threat of government seizure were blamed by United Mine Workers union today on governmental delay in approving the new wage agreement in the industry.
The Secretary of Interior Ickes reported to President Truman that a number of soft coal pits were shut down and that he was ready to take them over. Mr. Ickes also said he was prepared to take similar action in the anthracite field in which 72,000 miners are idle as a result of a separate wage dispute.
San Francisco Conference Is A.U.W.O. Discussion Topic
A review and informal discussion of developments at the San Francisco conference will be featured at a meeting of the Lawrence chapter of the Americans United for World Organization, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Prof. H. B. Chubb, president, has announced.
Members and others interested have been invited to the meeting, which will be held at the Chamber of Commerce hall in the WREN building.
Might Make An Announcement
"But the war situation is definitely more satisfactory than it was at this time five years ago. If information of importance reaches the government, during sittings of the house this week, as it might do, I will make a brief announcement, but only if the information is of exceptional importance."
Churchill then announced that the home office will issue a circular describing official measures to be taken when the time comes for V-E day celebration.
Allies Smash On
Troops of the United States Third and Seventh armies closed in relentlessly on Germany's last Bavarian cores of resistance.
On all fronts, meanwhile, the Al-lies pushed forward.
With Munich cleared by the American Seventh army, except for isolated nipers' nests, General Patton led fast armored units over the lasir river toward Berchutesgaden, now little more than 60 miles away.

Tokyo Radio Reports Attack on Borneo
A rapidly expanding war in the Far East was pictured by the Tokyo radio today which reported landings on eastern Borneo and British naval attacks, against Japanese-held islands in the Indian ocean.
The Japanese broadcast did not identify the Allied troops in the Borneo landings but said that a terrific battle was in progress in the eastern part of the island.
The Japanese also reported that the British Indian ocean fleet carried out bombardments against Car Hiscosar and Port Blair in the Andaman island west of Malaya and south of Burma.
In the southernmost Philippine islands of Mindanao the United States 27th division advanced 10 miles against what was described as disorganized resistance and reached within 17 miles of Davao.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 1. 1945
Kansan Comments British Brides of Yanks Learn U.S. Traditions Through Booklets
To be an American is one thing.
To become one is another. Few of us have much actual experience with foreigners of other countries.
We wonder how they learn to adjust themselves, and what they feel is most important to Americans.
British brides of American servicemen are learning American ways before they ever leave English soil. The British government has printed for their use pamphlets which attempt to explain what we are like, and why we are like that.
"In America," the brides read, "most of the people will start a conversation without much hesitation. But when you think it over, they have not really said much to let you into their lives . . . Actually, most Americans are shy below the surface; they talk to cover it up and to make you feel their friendly intentions while they gradually get to know you."
American humor, they discover, is something they must "learn to take calmly." Kidding "includes using insults as a sign of affection, but Americans, not being noticeably angelic, also use insults as a sign of anger."
One unwritten rule in American sports, it seems, is "that spectators may properly go quile wild and use violent language." But Britishars receive this thoughtful advice: "Don't be shocked; it is all in fun!"
Brides also receive lists of books which they should read to know American life in all its particulars, "Life with Father," "Cimarron," "The Scarlet Letter," "Main Street," "Gone with the Wind," "Kitty
Indian Display In Union Lounge
The People of India, an extensive display sent by the British embassy to various universities throughout the country, is on exhibit in the Union lounge, sponsored by the Student Union Activities Committee.
Foyle," "Of Mice and Men," and "Grapes of Wrath," are suggested as typical examples of our way of life. A notable listing is "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," which the pamphlet modestly entitles "A Tree in the Yard."
Letter to the Editor
We live and learn. It would be interesting to compare the reactions of the new Americans with what their pamphlets have told them to expect.
Three detailed maps, showing the prevailing religions, languages, and races of India, accompany the display.
Self-Government in India
The display has pictures and short biographies of political leaders and men of affairs of India and Britain.
Resources and supplies which are necessary for Britain's part in the war in defense of the Middle East are described in detail with illustrations.
Dear Mr. Beth:
The exhibit, which begins with the announcement "One out of every five persons in the world is an Indian," is divided into sections giving information about the Indian states, the Indian navy, army and air force, education, social services, agriculture and irrigation, and labor and industry.
The progressive steps to self-government from the time the crown took over under Victoria in 1858 are traced minutely with charts depicting changes in government in the last half-century.
(Note: the following reply was received in response to an inquiry from the Kansan to Time magazine several weeks ago following that magazine's misleading article concerning Elva Wallace, former University coed. It is reprinted in its entirely).
British Pamphlets
The display is accompanied by pamphlets published by the British Information Services on such subjects as "India's Right to Freedom," "India at War," "Social Services in Britain," "Progress in Government," "A Picture of India," "Britain's Fight Against Japan," "Britain's Future in the Making," and "Flying Bombs." The exhibit came to K. U. from
The editors of TIME sincerely regret the error and are very grateful to you for writing us about it. Thank you.
As it turns out, you are perfectly right in saying Miss Wallace was never enrolled in a psychology course at the University, and TIME was wrong in saying she did.
TIME's apologies for keeping you waiting so long for an answer to your wire about Elva Wallace. We have been busy checking on that point you raised about her attendance at psychology classes at the University of Kansas.
The exhibit came to K. U. from Wichita university, and will be seen next in Kansas City, Mo.

Prof. Leroy Moore To Review Book On Negro's Wants
Prof. Leroy Moore, Negro educator, who is working for his doctor of philosophy degree in chemistry at the University, will review a symposium book, "What the Negro Wants," at 2:30 p.m. Thursday on KFKU.
The book is composed of opinions concerning the Negro problems in America.
Professor Moore, Pratt, received his master's degree from the University and is now on leave of absence from his position as dean of Langston university, Langston, Okla.
"The book is written entirely by Negro leaders in the fields of education, labor relations, and literature and represents a thoughtful attempt to analyze the opportunities and difficulties of Negroes in American life." Prof. John E. Hankin, chairman of the book review committee, said, "Professor Moore is well acquainted with Negro leaders in the United States, including seven represented in the volume he is to review."

Rock Chalk Talk
BY PEBBLE BEACH
(Note: When Ens. Jimmy Gunn visited the Shack yesterday, he left behind one of his "sager" commentaries on life, love, and spring in general. When he wrote Rock Chalk Talk in 1943, he called himself "the sage of Mt. Oread." His latest offering follows.
the Spice of Life: It had been a long time since the Sage of Mt. Oread had been out in the light. For two years he had squatted in his musty cave, forgotten and alone. He was never one to bear a grudge for long, however, and presently he smiled, cracking off several layers of dust, and waving merrily at the bats freightened out of his long, gray beard. He sniffed the spring air, shook his locks, and opened his mouth to speak. I sat back expectantly, knowing that after two years of silence, golden words would come forth.
"Old friends are the best friends," said the Sage.
He sniffed the spring air again "In the spring an old man's fancy," said the Sage, "turns to what the young men have been thinking about all winter."
"Love is the lure before the trout, the cheese in the mouse trap, the red flag before the bull," said he.
"Love is the light that lies in women's eyes—and lies and lies and lies," spoke the Sage.

The Chi O's were entertaining with one of those rush weekends, and it happened that Liz Baker and the girl in her room were the same size. Saturday afternoon a picnic was the planned entertainment so Liz appeared in the customary jeans and white shirt. Hours later she came home and found the house trying to locate the guest's shirt. After an hour or so of dumping everything out of drawers and closets, they discovered the shirt walking down the hall on Liz's back.

"Love does much, but money does more."
"But marriage," quotc the Sage, shaking his head as he had shaken it so often before. "Marriage makes strange bedfollows."
And thus I left him to the solitude and back issues of Esquire he loved so well, combing the butterflies out of his beard and gazing fondly into the dear, old face of Spring.
"Love," said the Sage, "comes in at the windows, and goes out at the doors."

Extinct Skull Given To History Museum
A deer skull, of a kind extinct in Kansas for 80 years, has been given to the Natural History museum, by Prof. Raymond H. Beamer, of the department of entomology, Dr. Claude W. Hibbard, curator, has announced.
This is the only skull of a Kansas deer in the museum, Dr. Hibbard, said, and there is a question of whether it is of early Recent or very late Pleistocene time. The age of the deposits are uncertain, he said, but they will be investigated as soon as weather permits.
This skull was discovered by Professor Beamer, and Morris Teptz, of the Kansas research foundation, while fishing along the bank of the Kaw river.
This skull was found, by the collectors, in the same way the first fossil to be placed in the University collection, Dr. Hibbard said. The first fossil was found in June, 1877, by W.W.Tweed, N.P.Demings, and Prof. D.H.Robinson, while they were fishing along the bank of the Wakarusa creek.

To Study Or Not to Study Is The Question
One week ago students reluctantly admitted that the eighth week of the spring semester had arrived.
Although that meant that "spring had come" and summer vacation was only two months away, it also meant that mid-semester cramming for tests would begin again.
The idea was far from pleasant, but everyone at least made an effort and began taking stock of the lesson situation by counting up the number of laboratory experiments, mid-term papers, late themes, and sundry other_reports that he'd been planning to do "sometime next week."
14 E. 8th
That meant at least four weeks' studying to do in one night. That was worse.
Then professors began setting dates for quizzes, which involved reading everything they'd assigned since the last test.
But there were two alternatives.
But there were two alternatives. The first was (1) to live at the library all week, or at least until 10 pm, and then (2) to go home and run up the electricity bill by keeping the lights on, studying diligently,
and annoying the roommate.
That was bad.
Former Student Presented D.F.C.
S/Sgt. Kenneth E. Brooks, Tulsa, who attended the University of Kansas in 1937 and 1938 before entering the service, was presented the Distinguished Flying Cross at special retreat ceremonies at Boca Raton Army Air field, a technical school of the AAF Training command.
Sgt. Brooks, a veteran of 51 missions and 247 combat hours with the 15th Air Force, had been previously decorated with the Distinguished Unit Citation, the Air Medal and three Oak Clusters.
The DFC was awarded "for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Mediterranean and North African theatres of operation." Sgt. Brooks is the son of Mrs. Viola Brooks, 1206 South Denver avenue, Tulsa.
The second alternative was (1) to think it over carefully, (2) decide there was so much to do that it just couldn't be done, and (3) to forget about tests and ignore the fact that it was mid-semester after all.
Besides, there are still two months left before finals. Lots of time to do laboratory experiments, write papers, finish themes.

Only five weeks remain, Kaneleh observed, in which to play the seven rounds and the playoffs if they are to be completed before finals. Play Two Games a Week
There will be two games a week probably on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those games rained out will have to be played at the convenience of the teams.
The playoff will be among the four highest scoring teams in the regular schedule.
Seventy-five divided by the number of games on the schedule will be awarded for each game played plus 75 divided by the number of games for each game won.
In the playoffs the champion will be awarded an additional 25 points; the runner-up will get 15 points; third and fourth palce winners wil get 5 points.
A forfeited game will count as a game won, but not as a game played. In tie games, points will be divided evenly between the two teams.
Games Run Seven Innings
The games, to be played on the south field, will run seven innings, or less if the managers agree. Bats, balls, and masks, but not gloves, may be checked out from the equipment room. Each organization will furnish one official. Score cards may be checked out from the intramural office by the team managers and the manager of the winning team will be responsible for returning the scorecard to the office after the game.

Graduate Student Back From Overseas
Tech. Sgt. Reuben Klayer, graduate from the School of Pharmacy in 1941, was visiting friends on the campus Friday afternoon.
Sergeant Klayder whose home is in Neodesha, Kans., is a pharmacist with the 73rd Hospital unit in Rome, Italy. He has been with the hospital since it was established at Ft. Lewis, Washington, in July, 1942. The unit was sent overseas to Constantine, Algeria, and was moved in January, 1944 to Naples, Italy, then later transferred to Rome.
The sergeant has been in the armed forces 46 months and has served 26 months of that time overseas. He has a 45-day leave.
Nebraska and K.U. Thinclads to Meet
Jayhawk track and field men will play host to Nebraska's thinclads in the Memorial stadium Saturday in the second outdoor dual meet of the season.
Coach Ray Kanehl said this morning that he has not decided all his entries yet, but that more of his men will see competition in the Saturday meet than in the smaller contests in which the Kansas cindermen have participated recently.
Nebraska defeated the Jayhawkers 51-42 in an indoor dual meet Feb.
4. Kansas salvaged three firsts in the contest at Lincoln.
Lynn Leigh won the broad jump with a 20-foot, 2-inch leap, and Jarmarg placed first in the high jump at 5 feet $8 \frac{1}{2}$ inches. The mile relay team made-up of John Jackson, John Stites, Kenneth Danneberg, and Lynn Leigh took the third title.
Other Kansas men who placed in the indoor meet at Lincoln were Richard Hudson, Norval Jackson, Harvey Morrow, James Thomas, Ronald Hayenga, and Rolland Hamilton.
The first outdoor dual meet, April 14, was lost to Oklahoma 45-51, despite the outstanding performance of Leroy Robson in scoring 18 points.
McGaugh Awarded Second Fellowship To Chicago University
Maurice E. McGaugh, '39, has, for the second time, been awarded a fellowship to the University of Chicago, Robert M. Hutchins, president, has announced.
Mr. McGaugh was one of 94 graduate students from 31 states, Washington, D. C., Canada, and China, awarded fellowships. He received the fellowship in the division of physical sciences, but will continue his work toward a doctor of philosophy degree in geography.
The total value of the fellowships exceeds $85,000, and is granted from the university's annual budget of $594,912 for student aid. Last year the university presented scholarships and fellowships in a cash amount large enough to carry the expenses of a moderate sized community.
Before beginning his advanced work at the University of Chicago, Mr. McGaugh was an instructor in geography for the army air corps at Springfield, Mo.
He received his masters degree here in geography in 1941 and was a member of Phi Delta Kappa and Sigma Xi.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Watkins Memorial hospital, will leave tonight for Minneapolis, Minn., to preside at a business session of hte Council of the American Student Health association, held instead of the Council of the American Student celled because of travel restriction. Dr. Canuteson is president of the association.

With Bob Lilbridge, high point man, counting 13, the Kansas cinderdemen scored a total of 85 points, leaving Nebraska with 37, and the Manhattammen 12.
In that meet the Jayhawkers dominated the track, winning eight firsts, tying for another, and sewing up the meet with 13 seconds.
In the 1944 track season, there was no outdoor dual meet with the Cornhuskers, but the Nebraska tribe participated in a triangular meet here including Kansas State.

Quigley Strides Ahead
E. C. "Ernie" Quigley's campaign to knock out the stadium debt strides ahead. He announced yesterday that $25,000 will be paid on it June 1.
By using cash donations made in the present campaign to sell "F" bonds plus gate receipts from last season's football games, he will be able to apply this amount.
Quigley said that he had collected $13,900 selling "T" bonds here in Lawrence for this purpose. That amount put the city of Lawrence $400 over the quota set for it by Quigley.
The quota set for Greater Kansas City in the debt reducing program is $30,000. Quigley has worked since Saturday in the city and will spend the rest of this week there working for the campaign.

Germans Retreat Into Denmark In Face of Massive Allied Drive; Japan Says 5,000 Yanks in Borneo
(International News Service)
A German retreat through Schleswig-Holstein northward into Denmark was announced by supreme Allied headquarters today in the wake of a massive new Anglo-American thrust from the north bank of the Elbe river at Hamburg.
With the Nazis in southern Germany streaming toward temporary haven in the Bavarian redoubt, and a prisoner total of 1,500,000 for the month of April alone officially announced, a spokesman at General Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters disclosed the virtual collapse of enemy resistance in Northern Germany.
In the meantime, armored elements of Lt. Gen. Alexander Patch's U. S. Seventh army plunged an additional 30 miles eastward in Bavaria, reaching the vicinity of Rosenheim and cutting all enemy communications leading south ward to Berchtesgaden and the towering Alps.
Seventh Army Takes von Runstedt
Seventh Army Takes von Runstedt Field Marshal Karl von Runstedt was among the prisoners bagged. von Runstedt was taken by the American Seventh army, along with his son, chauffer, and personal physician when the doughbys stormed Bad Tolz, 25 miles south of Munich.
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, one-time U-boat commander and Nazi party disciple, presumably was piloting the keelwhaled German ship of state after Hitler's reported death. German broadcasts said that Joachim von Ribbentrop had been dismissed as foreign minister. His successor was identified as Count Schwerin von Krosick, German nobleman who became president of the reichsbank.
Russian troops crashed into the Wilhelmstrasse, the site of government headquarters in Berlin, determined to find Hitler's body if he actually is dead.

An announcement by General Eisenhower disclosed that Heinrich Himmler commander of the Nazi gestapo and minister of the interior, had made an admission that Germany is "finished."
Tokyo Reports Allied Borneo Attack Combined Allied and enemy reports reveal the spreading war in the Far East. The Tokyo radio says that 5,000 allied troops had taken part in the eastern Borneo landings, and reported new air and naval blows against the Jap-held island in the Indian ocean west of the Malayas.

President Truman Praises Leaders Of Allied Troops
(International News Service)
Hostilities in Italy came to an end at 7 a.m. today under terms of a capitulation agreement signed Sunday afternoon at the former Italian royal palace Castera on the outskirts of Naples.
Washington—President Truman today announced the unconditional surrender of all German forces in Italy.
The president stated:
"The Allied armies in Italy have won the unconditional surrender of German forces on the first European soil to which from the west, we carried our arms and our determination."
Mr. Truman then declared:
"The collapse of military tyranny in Italy, however, is no victory in Italy alone, but a part of the general triumph we are expectantly awaiting on the whole continent of Europe.
"Only folly and chaos can now delay the general capitulation at the everywhere defeated German armies."
The President said that he had dispatched congratulatory messages to the Allied and American officers who led our forces to complete defeat of the Germans in Italy.
"They deserve our praise for the victory," the President stated. "We have a right to be proud of the success of our armies."
"Let Japan as well as Germany understand the meaning of these events. Unless they are lost in fanaticism or determined on suicide, they must recognize the meaning of the increasing swift moving power now ready for the capitulation or the destruction of the so recently arrogant enemy of mankind.
The President addressed the congratulatory messages to Field Marshal Alexander and General Mark Clark, the Allied com- manders in Italy.

The halls of the building were filled with men and women—delegates, reporters, and people working in the building for the duration of the conference. Everyone looked purposeful; everyone was in a hurry. All through the building were military men dressed especially for their duties here. They wear white helmets, white gloves, and white leggins. Theirs is a tiresome job. I would say, for all day long they just stand, stand, stand. But still I hope they find compensation in getting to see some of the greatest national leaders.

Kansan Comments
Danforth Chapel Becomes Reality, But Will It Fill Student Needs?
Workmen have broken sod on Lilac Lane for Danforth Chapel. It will be fine to have a rustic place to worship in the midst of the secular pursuits which engross the campus. Perhaps students will frequent it more often than they do secluded, beautiful Barlow Chapel in Meyers hall. It will be fitting that students who fall in love here can be married picturesquely on the scene of their romance. The whole development will supply copy for the publicity department to convince the sedate population of Kansas that we on Mt. Oread are not too much of this world.
Please do not misunderstand. The University is to be commended for striding out in this direction. Mr. Danforth and other donors are to be thanked for contributing to the project. We appreciate their generosity and praise their time. But where on the campus come in—the students for whom it is being built and who will be given a chance to contribute once it is planned? Were they asked what they felt were the religious needs of the campus? Or was it given to them like a pat on the head?
The University does need, and desperately, a center of student religious activity. It needs a place where this activity may come together and grow instead of being scattered under a dozen different roofs and carried on in obscurity like an underground movement.
Will the new chapel with its limited capacity and singleness of purpose serve these needs? It will be a good thing in a small way if it does not stand in the way of something better, but as long as so much money is being spent, why not spend it on the beginning at least, of a religious center which would fill the needs of the students?

someone come up to you and whispered in your ear, "That's Westbrook Fegler sitting on that desk next to yours." He's an all right appearing fellow—tall and interesting looking, shaggy eyebrows; they reminded me momentarily of John L. Lewis. But wait, that's not all. As I was putting on my coat that night, the same friend tapped my shoulder and said, "Since I know you're interested, that's Walter Winchell standing there in the gray overcoat." Talk about poise, I'd say he has it. He's medium height, has the posture you admire, silvery hair, and clear searching eyes. You're right, I'll never forget April 25, 1845.
Today, I saw him—V. M. Molotov, Russian Foreign Commissar! As he stepped from the elevator, and strode toward the front entrance of the Veterans Memorial) building, he snuck to dialogue, new people, and entertainers, who stood in the lobby to get a glimpse of the distractions as they left the morning session.
What does Molotov look like?
Very much like his picture; he a rather short and slightly heavy, but smely and pleasant. You wouldn't be disappointed, but thrilled as I was to see the one who is representing Russia at this historical conference.
A few moments ago, I was asked to go down to the press room and wait for the first press release on Soong's, Molotov's, and Eden's addresses, which were delivered today.
As I sit here in the press room and wait, let me tell you what I see. This is a large room in the basement of the Veterans Memorial building. There are six long, long tables, and I counted more than one hundred typewriters on them. Scattered about are people from many nations absorbed with typing their stories; men and women both are wearing hats; some men are in their shirt sleeves; some are bareheaded. I just couldn't describe the place as order-

Surprise—when she took the top off,'out flew three huge green snakes. Just then Professor Ashton came in, and was practically de-speaked!

The troops included remnants of 20 German diving boats and six Italian Naval divisions which had fought behind the Nuba.
Total German forces in this area are estimated at nearly a million men.
The surrender was signed for the Allied by Lt. Gen. W. D. Morgan, chief of staff to Gen. Alexander.

"Happy" Chandler, the new baseball commissioner expects to see a sports boon after the war. Meeting the press for the first time since his election to the job a week ago, he said yesterday that baseball has two immediate responsibilities.
"We must provide some place for baseball's war veterans to play. We are obligated to find jobs for them," he declared, "and second, thousands of players have been wounded and will need rehabilitating and they ought to be able to see baseball games."
Chandler proposes to locate leagues close to government hospitals and in high schools and colleges in order to take advantage of all the opportunities to discover new baseball talent.
His idea is to carry baseball "back to the country" to capitalize on the rising emphasis on sports that he forsees.
Opening of Pool Is Popular With Men
Student response to the open hour for men at the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium has been good, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen head of the department of physical education said today.
"There are always men at the door before 5 o'clock waiting for the pool to open." Dr. Allen reported.
There is no direct check on the number of students who have taken advantage of the opportunity to use the pool, but "Phog" said today that plans are being made to keep a roll of the swimmers at the free hour so that an exact report can be made.
Dan Westerman, a student in the School of Education, is on duty to serve as lifeguard and instructor.
Dr. Allen announced on April 18 the opening of the pool, which had since 1942 been restricted to military personnel.

Blondie Borrows New Account
Wichita, (INS) — Elva Geraldine Wallace, 19, former University student, who left the campus following her arrest at Kansas City earlier in the year, was arrested here yesterday on complaint of Oklahoma City department store owners that she had obtained $400 worth of merchandise from them on other person's accounts.
Police said they understood that the mother was making the payments good and that the girl would be released today.
Organizations wishing to obtain a grade report for their freshmen and sophomores should send statements with these persons when they see their advisers. Grades are to be obtained from the advisers and not from the individual instructors.
Miss Wallace's arrest at Kansas City was for the same complaint. At that time she said she had obtained the materials to serve as Christmas gifts to campus friends.
Underclassmen To See Advisers
The advisers names and their office hours are posted on the bulletin board opposite room 229 in Frank Strong hall. Dean Ulmer urges students to consult this list and select a convenient advisory time early in that three day period so that much of the last day rush can be avoided.

Campus Gets New 200-Ib German Whistle Lugged from Italy by Donor, Capt. Haggart
Carrying a 200-pound whistle 25-000 miles requires a great deal of persistent effort but that is what Capt. Robert A. Haggart, a former student at the University and now of the U.S. Maritime service, succeeded in doing so that the University could have a new whistle.
Captain Haggart and the whistle arrived at the University this morning and immediate preparations are being made to replace the "factory whistle" that now announces the "shift changes" between classes with the new melodious three toned whistle, before VE-day is proclaimed.
Captain Haggart "obtained" the whisle from a 22,000 ton German transport vessel which the Germans scuttled in the Italian harbor of Leghorn when they had to retreat before the Allied forces. As near as the captain could determine, the name of the German vessel was the Orinka II, which had formerly been used in the South American trade and later at the outbreak of the war in transporting troops to Africa Captain Haggart also belives that the
vessel had been used in the evacuation of the Africa corps.
The whistle is an organ type whistle with three tones which can be adjusted to make different chords. It is one of the five whistles which Capt. Haggart and several others salvaged. "The other whistles have all been distributed," the Captain said. They tested the whistle by hooking it up to one of the steam lines on their ship.
Hannegan Is New Postmaster General
This morning, Captain Haggart presented the whistle to Chancellor (continued on page two)

Washington —(INS)— Robert E. Hannegan, Democratic National committee chairman, today prepared to take over his new duties as postmaster general, June 30, following his appointment by President Truman. He succeeds Frank C. Walker, who volunteered his resignation.
Churchill Said To Be in Gemany; Hamburg Taken
Paris, (INS)—Rumors circulated in reliable French circles tonight that the unconditional surrender of German armies in northern Germany, Holland, Denmark, and Norway may be forthcoming soon.
If the negotiations are successful, it is probable that an announcement will be made at the White House in Washington.
The end of the war in Europe grew nearer todaybut Allied armies kept hitting the enemy on all fronts.
(International News Service)
The British Second army forged a new juncture with Russian troops along the Baltic and captured Hamburg, the Reich's greatest port.
1. The London Evening Standard reported that fleeing Nazi soldiers believed a general surrender of the German army has taken place.
However the apparent eminent collapse of German armed might overshadowed for the moment the activities of the armies. Rapid developments included:
2. The semi-authoritative British Press Association reported that Commons was "agog" with speculation over whether Prime Minister Churchill may already be in Germany "for the surrender ceremony."
The reports of the newspapers, however, were totally unconfirmed from Allied headquarters. The possibility Churchill may be in Europe arose after his unexplained absence from Parliament became known.
Rolond Monson, Standard correspondent with the British Second army in the Wismar sector where the Britains made a new link-up with the Reds, said, "Panic-stricken hoards" of enemy troops were pouring into Allied lines, seeking safety from the Russians.
Reports Unconfirmed
Spearheads of the British Second marched into prized Hamburg at noon German time, shortly after the town's radio announced Hamburg would not be defended. The radio then left the air.
The British-Russian juncture near Wismar, between Rostock and Luebeck, gave the Allies control of virtually the entire German Baltic coast. A German pocket in the Schleswig-Holstein sector remained, but it has been cut off.

Special Whistle To Call V-E Day Convocation
President Vetoes Service Amendment
Plans for the VE-day convocation have been announced by the student-faculty committee in charge of the program.
Following the announcement by President Truman of the unconditional surrender of Germany, the University whistle will blow.
An all-University assembly, with appropriate program, will be held in Hoch Auditorium at 11:30 a.m. the same morning, if the announcement comes before 11:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
Washington, (INS) — President Truman today vetoed a congressional amendment to the selective service act which would provide deferment of essential farm workers of draft age.
Introduced by Elizabeth Baker, press club president, Mr. Moorhead told of the many famous cases he had covered, including the McErloy napping, the Chester murder, and the
The President in his veto message said, "In time of war, it is the paramount obligation of every citizen to serve his country to the best of his ability."
A fight to override President Truman's veto.
If the announcement comes after 11:30 on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, the assembly will be held the next Monday morning.
Mr. Moohead, who has covered crime news in Kansas City for the past 32 years, said that this upward surge can be attributed to the restlessness of returned servicemen and their longing to continue life in an adventurous vein.
(continued to page four)
On the day of the assembly, the 11:30 classes will be dismissed. All other classes will meet as usual.
Moorhead Explains Technique and Cases At Press Club Dinner
The committee in charge of the VE-day assembly is Raymond Nichols, chairman; Lloyd Shafer, freshman in medicine; Marjorie Free. College junior; Elinor Kline, College sophomore; Paul Conrad, College freshman; and Persis Snook, College senior.
An upward surge in crime can be expected with the return of the war veterans, William M. Moorhead, Kansas City Star police reporter, told Press Club members, journalism students, and faculty members gathered at the Colonial tea room last night.
Blackwell Thinks U.S. Looks Good After Three Months Under Nazis
Sgt. Robert Blackwell, former K- U. student, arrived in Lawrence yesterday after three months in a German prison camp.
A machine gunner in the 422nd Infantry regiment of the 106th division, Bob was taken prisoner December 16, the first day of the battle of the Belgian bulge, when his regiment was overwhelmed by a surprise German counter offensive.
"We got to Bad Orb on Christmas day, but we were moved in box cars to the Ziegenhiem camp a month later," Bob, a Sig Alph here from 1941-'43, tells.
Packed 60 to 65 in a car, the men sat huddled together with no room
to move or stretch their legs for five days.
"We'd travel a few miles and then sit off on a siding for what seemed like days. Of course, the Germans didn't care when we got there."
Prison Train Bombed
"We were given one loaf of bread for six men, twice, and a little molasses to put on it, while enroute to the camp." Bob remembers. "The one bottle of water they gave us didn't last long, so we had to moisten our mouths with the frost that our breath formed on the insides of the

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 3, 1945
Kansan Comments
Polish Question Slows Progress Of Peace Plans
The question of bringing Poland into the United Nations conference on international organization continues to hamper progress on this important subject. When the question of inviting Argentina was raised, the Russian Foreign Commissar, V. M. Molotov, again proposed invisiting representatives of the Polish government in Warsaw to the conference. The proposal was defeated in the steering committee and firmly opposed by American and British representatives.
The United States and Britain refuse to give up on the issue until the Polish government is "broadened" even if the Russians insists that Russia recognize the agreement on the Polish question which was reached at the Crimea conference There the Big Three decided that "the provisional government which is now functioning in Poland should . . . be reorganized on a broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from Poles abroad . . . This Polish Provisional Government of National Unity shall be pledged to the holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot. In these elections all democratic and anti-Nazi parties shall have the right to take part and to put forward candidates . . ."
Only two explanations have been given for Russia's insistent refusal to enlarge the Polish government in accordance with the Yalta agreement: (1) Stalin was opposed by his colleagues in the Kremlin hierarchy on his stand on Poland at the Yalta conference and had to retreat from the position he took there; (2) the present Lublin government is so weak that it can't be "broaden" without being taken over by the "democratic elements" which the United States and Britain want included and which Marshal Stalin promised to include at Yalta.
When Mr. Molotov raised the question of inviting Poland to the conference, he stated that it was unfair that Poland should not be represented. Perhaps Mr. Molotov was right. At least he could have questioned the justice of admitting the Argentine colonels before the Poles, who did not wait until they could see the glow of Allied victory over the horizon before they entered the war against the Nazis.-J.V.

car."
"The box cars were bombed once, though none was hit. About eight men tried to escape during the raid and all but one of them were killed by shrapnel. The Germans shot him."
Non-commissioned officers, who were in charge of the Ziegenhiem camp did not beat the prisoners, but they shot them if they got in their way.
"Those Germans seemed to think the only way they could prove rank among themselves was by screaming at each other." Bob added smilingly, "If we hadn't been so worn out, we would have laughed in their faces." Meals Consist of Tea and Soup
Hot tea, made from grains, and unidentified soup, and hard tack were given the men daily. The food varied in quantity, but never in quality.
"Most of us just slept or dozed from one meal to the next," Bob said, recalling the long days in camp.
The Ziegenhiem war prisoners were liberated by units of the American Third army on March 30. Some, political prisoners and those from conquered countries, had been interned for four or five years.
"The Americans were flown out of Germany into France, and they treated us like kings—new uniforms, cigarettes, candy, steaks, just about anything we wanted."
Prisoners Cook Midnight Snacks
"We came home in a convoy, by way of England. It took fifteen days and we ate everything in sight, even going to the ship's galley late at night to cook up midnight snacks," Bob says.
"About 1,500 of us arrived in New Jersey April 28,and believe me,the U. S. looked plenty good!"
Having regained most of the 35 pounds he lost while a prisoner of war, Bob leaves today for Larned and 60 days of home cooking, before he reports to Hot Springs, Ark., July 3, for reassignment.

Even in Germany, where things are hardly normal, haystacks seldom are found parked across railroad tracks. So 2nd Lt. Harry J. Tyndale, Staten Island, N. Y., swooped low in his P-38 Lightning to investigate.
Close inspection showed it was an elaborately camouflaged locomotive. Tyndale brought his 50-calibre machine guns and 20-millimeter cannon into play to destroy his third locomotive for the day—and his first mobile haystack.

The two groups will be voted on by all the independent students, she explained.

Hulach Speaks to Y.W.C.A. Dinner Tonight at Henley
Charles Hulach, new regional secretary of Y.M.C.A., will deliver the main address at the W.Y.C.A. dinner tonight in Henley house.
The newly elected cabinet and members of the present cabinet will be guests of honor at the dinner, Rach VanderWerf, sponsor, said today.
Reviewing the history of intramural softball at the University, we find it to be the most consistent and possibly the most interesting of the spring sports since baseball fell into disfavor in the late thirties.
The last intramural baseball games were in 1937 when the Sig Alph's defeated an independent team, the Hexagons, 8-2, to win the championship of the three division tournament. A total of 30 ball clubs participated.
Back across the years the softball title was fairly well passed around among the various organizations. In the 1943 softball tournament, 21 teams participating, the Beta's were the victors after a winning steak of 10 straight. The runner up, defeated in the game 8-0, was S. A. E.
The Phi Delts won the softball crown the year before, and the Phi Psil's in 1941.

Press Meeting Called by Stettinius Viewed by Kansan Representative
By Eloise Knox
San Francisco — The morning of the third day of the Conference, Stettinius was scheduled for a press conference at the Veterans Memorial building. I welcomed a request to deliver a message to an I. N. S. reporter in the auditorium where the press in true form was assembled awaiting Stettinius' arrival. The place was brilliantly lighted; special lights had been set up for the occasion; cameras were here and there taking shots of the entire assembly and particular members of the press. Restlessness seemed apparent as these overworked newspaper people awaited the arrival of the already late Secretary of State.
As you enter the Veterans Memorial building, where part of the business of the United Nations Conference is being carried on, you immediately feel that you'd like to know lots about what is taking place.
All about you are people whom you keep trying to connect with one of the 48 nations who have delegates and representatives serving here in other capacities.
Signs of organization are everywhere. At the front of the lobby are booths for the post office, bank, telegram and radiogram, local transportation, express service, information and registration services.
Down the right corridor in this order are the offices of Associated Press, International News Service, Aneta, Agence French-Presse, Central News Agency of China, and Newseel Press Room. At the end of the hall is the large public office of Press Relations under the direction of Michael McDermott, special

Campus councils which will be represented at the meeting are the Inter-fraternity, Pan-hellenic, Inter-dorm, Inter-hall council for men, and Independent council.

Highest Sources See Settlement Of Poland's Fate
San Francisco - ( IN S ) - Highest authoritative sources at the San Francisco conference are expecting new hopes today that the "Big Three" will announce the settlement of the Polish problem within 72 hours to make Poland the 50th united nation.

“Flora Gave Me Fairest Flowers”

(Gretchainoff).
Or, isn't the quiet atmosphere of the University campus conducive to it's blowing after seeing so much action in Italy and Germany?
After a 25,000 mile trip, the new whistle is recuperating in a temporary experiment phase to make it's melodies more pleasing and more penetrating to the ears.
Demand for Speakers For Commencements Is Great This Year
The old whistle will continue to blow until the new one is perfected by power plant attendants, which will be either late today or Saturday morning.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 4, 1945
Kansan Comments Letter to the Editor Five Alumni Acc
To the Editor of the Kansan:
I have noted with interest your editorial of April 30, regarding the wartime slumpers with their inactivity alibi here on the K.U. campus. I wish to give you a little information about the proposed student peace conference.
When we of the conference committee postponed the actual conference until next fall, we did it with the realization that this conference was something bigger than the time remaining in this semester allowed. The proposed conference is not to be a stunt night but a well-thought-out event with active participants, not performers. The period of time between now and then is not a period of inactivity, but a period of intensive work and study for all the students on the Hill. Miss Bettie Bixby will act as chairman of the conference next fall.
The Committee on Materials has received informative booklets and pamphlets on many phases of the peace question which will be distributed among the students so that they will know what they are talking about when they "sit" at the peace conference. We are pleased to announce that many valuable materials have been presented to the group for use in preparing for the conference. One of these is the contribution of the Manchester Guardian by Miss Rose Morgan, English professor now retired.
We also feel that the events taking place right now will have much influence on the conference next fall. I think that everyone will realize that if this conference is to mean anything—to have any actual value, it must be done thoroughly, and must be well-planned. The students must do some actual thinking. For all the students to take part in it, each organized house and each individual student must have a responsibility.
We hope to climax this conference with a convocation or like event with an outstanding speaker and student participation. By working on the plan this spring, we are sure that the peace conference next fall will be a worthwhile activity.
Get busy now, reading and thinking on the vital points that will mold the future of America.
Anne Stevens, Chairman Materials Committee.

All graduates and former students, no matter where they live, may vote if they are paid members of the Alumni association, Mr. Elsworth said. Last year votes came from European and Pacific theaters. A person, not now an active member, becomes eligible to vote immediately upon paying dues for the coming year, Mr. Elsworth explained.
Ballots must be returned to the alumni office by June 23. "Secrecy is insured by the fact that all ballots received are kept locked until the official counting committee, appointed by the president, opens them just before commencement." Mr. Ellsworth said.

The King's English — No one is quite sure where they came from, or where they were going, but two Harvard men wandered into the Chi Omega house for a social afternoon Sunday, and a confused time was had by all. Conversation troubles between the eastern Yankees and the mid-western Yankees climaxed when one of the strangers asked Margaret Ott if Chi O had a "pull-o" team as well as a baseball team. Undaunted, Ottlet explained, "No we don't, but we need only three more horses." It was slightly later when the Easterner gathered courage to say that he "didn't know you played billiards with horses."
This Thing, Art — The life of a photographer is hard. He stands in the rain to snap the parade, he risks near death to get a close-up of the fire, and he gets trampled by festive co-eds and dates as they crawls under tables of the Dine-A-Mite of a Wednesday night. But it's all for the sake of art, and Bert Kintzel, Jay-hawker photographer, guarantees it was, and would someone please pass the nerve tonic?

See America First—In fact, know your own community first—or better still, stay at home. Pete Carey and Rens McClure have adopted the policy wholeheartedly—until next time. They had finally saved gas to take dates Mimi Nettles and Beverly Stucker to Kansas City on a small party Saturday night, and even the addition to the party of Nancy Thomlinson and Martha Ellen Woodward, Bev's Theta sisters, who were planning to meet dates in the City, made little or no difference. But when the car broke down in Eudora, and got fixed just in time to come back to Lawrence, sans party, that did it. Nothing has been heard from two stood-up dates.
Molotov to Remain At Conference Longer
V. M. Molotov, Soviet foreign commissar significantly postponed his scheduled departure for Moscow from Friday to next Tuesday, May 8.

Iowa Nine to Tangle With 'Skyers' at Ames
Ames, Iowa — After practically "stealing" their game from Ottumwa last Saturday at the Navy base, the Iowa State college nine will tangle with the "Skyers" in a double-bill return engagement at Ames today and Saturday.
Coming out on top by a 5 to 4 margin last Saturday, the Cyclones stole a total of 10 bases in their contest with the Ottumwa Naval Air Station squad, opening the attack with two steals to home in the first inning of the encounter.
INSERT - Iowa Nine on HO D
INSERT-Iowa Nine on H.O. D Sutherland probably will start Ralph Theobald on the mound in today's game. Ralph, a Navy V-12 trainee, held the Ottumwa team to five hits and fanned seven Ottumwa batters. He went the full nine innings in the cold evening game at the Ottumwa base.
Possible pitchers for the Saturday game are Bob Besancon, left-hander, and Tom Chudomelka. Both men saw action in the Minnesota game. Besancon may be a threat to the Skyer's left-handed batters. Today's game may also see Don Fink, outfielder, in action. Fink has been favoring a sprained ankle the past two weeks.
two weeks.
To date, the Cyclones have two wins over Simpson, one over Luther of Decorah, and a victory over the Ottumwa Navy nine. They have two losses, both at the hands of the Minnesota "Gophers," the team slated in pre-season picking to rule the Big Ten.

M.U. Dominated By Conservatives Says Professor
NUMBER 147
Columbia, Mo. (INS)—A University of Missouri professor charged today that the university is being dominated by a conservative administration element which seeks to suncree free expression of opinion.
The professor, Max Wolff, one of several faculty members who have received dismissal notices or have announced their resignations recently because, it was reported, their viewpoints and liberal teaching methods clashed with administrative views, spoke before an open forum in Columbia yesterday on "Freedom in Education."
Hayashi, Speaking at the forum, Wolff, a German refegee, likened the dismissals to the burning of the books in Berlin in 1933. Brigham said "the basic democratic attitude toward education is that the student is the center of interest. I have a strong feeling, after six years here, that this situation does not prevail at the University of Missouri."
Education.
Others at the University, who have been notified they will not be reappointed include Robert Brigham, English instructor Cecil Miller, instructor in philosophy, and Tero Hayashi, instructor in zoology.
W. C. Curtis, dean of the faculty,aid that Wolff, who received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Cologne, was being dismissed because he is "not a trained or competent historian," and because "the University is under no obligation to keep him."
May 31 Deadline For Guidance Entries
Registration for vocational guidance will not be accepted after May 31, unless applicants are going to attend summer school, Prof. A. H. Turney, head of the Vocational Guidance bureau, has announced.
Later registrations would not allow sufficient time for completing all the tests and observations before commencement time. Those students who are planning to attend a summer session may register later and continue with the testing during the summer.
Professor Turney announces that to date 375 persons have registered since the bureau started operating last August. He believes that the number will be at least 400 by the time a year has elapsed. When the bureau was first set up, they felt that 150 registrations would be a good enrollment for a year.

Some experiments have been made with high school students and non-college adults. He says the bureau hopes to do more of this kind of work depending upon the time element and results. ___

Big Five Support World Security Plan
San Francisco—The "big five" presented a solid phalanx today in support of their revised Dumbarton Oakes plan for world security after Russia and France closed the ranks by approving amendments of the other major powers.
V. M. Molotov, Soviet foreign commissar, gave Russia's endorsement to the last two amendments, proposed jointly by the United States, Britain, and China. These were:
1. The Revised Vandenberg amendment, giving the proposed general assembly of the new world order authority for "the peaceful adjustment of any situation, regardless of origin which it deems likely to impair the general welfare or friendly relations among nations." This means authority to review and revise existing treaties which might be the seat of future wars.
2. The Anglo-American plan for placing regional arrangements under the supreme authority of the proposed security council of the "new league" except for taking action against renewed aggression against either Germany or Japan.

Kansan Receives Three Notes From Zilch By Carrier Pigeon
The nursery, a part of the worldwide Save the Children Federation, is located in England, and is sponsored solely by students, faculty, and alumni of the University and by Lawrence townpeople.
The recent drive for funds for the Jayhawk nursery will be ended the last of this month, Miss Margaret Lynn, chairman, announced this morning.
Drive for Nursery Ends This Month
Each organized house on the campus has had a representative working in connection with the drive. Organized houses which have contributed to the fund are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Westminster hall, Harmon co-op, Watkins hall, Chi Omega, and Jolliffe hall.
Elmer A. Zilch, whose daring exploits and astounding inventions have made journalism history, has sent three notes by carrier pigeons to the Daily Kansan office, reassuring them that he will be in Lawrence May 9 to speak at the annual Zilch dinner.
For each contribution given to the nursery fund, the British government doubles the amount. The children in the home are all under 5 years of age and either have been orphaned by the war or their parents are in the service and unable to care for them.
England and the Continent upon official proclamation prepared to celebrate tomorrow as V-E day while the United States under the excitement of unconfirmed reports, impatiently awaited official proclamation from the White House.
An Associated Press report that final surrender had come, was branded as without official confirmation and as the result the press association was deprived of its privilege of sending out
Position Is Open
The messages came from the European war area, where Mr. Zilch is covering the fighting fronts for his daily newspaper, the New York Bleat. He is making a distinguished name for both himself and his publication with the unusual and fascinating stories he sends back.
Three references are required for the position, one of which should be from a faculty member, Miss Liebbrand explained. Applications will be acceptable until May 16, after which date interviews will be held on the basis of the references.
The position of manager of the W. E. C. book exchange is open for the summer and fall semesters Betty Leibbrand, present manager, announced. Those wishing to apply for this position should turn their applications into Dean Meguiar's office or the book exchange.
White House Says No Confirmation Of Peace Report
This is partly due to his unique outlook on journalistic writing.
"Journalism is journalism and facts are facts, and never the twain shall meet." Mr. Zilch insists.
Washington—(INS)President Truman officially said today that he could make no announcement of the end of the war in Europe until a simultaneous statement "can be made by the three governments, the United States, Britain and Russian.

Reporter Agrees With Adjectives Used To Describe Handsome Eden and Steffinius
BULLETIN
By ELOISE KNOX
I'm satisfied they're true—the adjectives writers use to describe the handsome British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, and our own Secretary of State, Edward R. Stettinus, Jr.
When I saw Mr. Eden this morning, he was accompanied by a fellow delegate. The British Foreign Minister seemed unconscious of the fact that people were gazing admirably at him as he left the building. Regardless of the responsibility which rests upon him, particularly now, he remains wonderfully tall and straight. I had hoped that Churchill would attend this conference, but
Anthony Eden at once commands your confidence.
I think you would be able to pick out Edward Stettinius in any crowd. His white hair, dark eyebrows, and even features contribute much to his dignified appearance. I saw him today as he left the meeting here, and again as he left the Plenary session at the Opera House with his military escort.
With luck, I shall see Soong yet; the time left to get a glimpse of him is growing short, but there's still time; keep your fingers crossed for me, won't you?
news from any place on the continent.
International News Service and the United Press news service could not confirm the report and awaited official announcement.
In the meanwhile American and Russian troops converged on Frague, he only remaining unsurrendered German army of any size.
London—(INS)—The British Ministry of Information announced late this afternoon, that tomorrow will be treated as V-E Day.
Prime Minister Churchill will broadcast at 8 a.m., C.W.T. and King George at 2 p.m., the announcement said.
Therefore, tomorrow, Tuesday,
May 8, 1945, will become V-E Day
in Europe and will be regarded as a
holiday. Wednesday will also be a
holiday, a statement said.
The Ministry statement said that in accordance with arrangements between the United States, Great Britain and Russia, Churchill will broadcast an official announcement proclaiming V-E Day in Europe.
Meanwhile, the Moscow radio signed off its North American transmission at the usual time of 12:30 p.m. E.W.T. today, N.B.C. monitors reported in New York. At no time, N.B.C. said, has the Moscow radio, which came on the air earlier than usual, mentioned a German surer-der.
Washington—The White House bad a blunt "no comment" today on a broadcast from London, that Truman and Churchill were prepared
Final Vespers Given By Fine Arts School
(continued to page four)
The season's final All-Musical Vespers, competing with ideal outdoor weather, drew a fair-sized audience to Hoch auditorium yesterday afternoon.
Laurel E. Anderson, University organist, opened with a selection by Bach, "O Hail the Brightest Day of Days."
The University A Cappella choir, directed by D. M. Swarthout, sang a group of four numbers.
For its contribution, the String quartet went to the English composer, Frank Bridge. His rather somber "Three Idylls" was played.
Another British work, the "Suite in E Flat" for band, by Gustave Holst, closed the program. This composition begins with a "Chaconne," whose bold theme is treated in the traditional manner. The second movement is a quaint "Intermezzo," and the third, a jaunty "March" which suggests a British regiment on parade.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 7, 1945
Kansan Comments Daily Library Circus Knocks Out Study Program of K.U. Students
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
See the greatest show on earth—hurry, hurry, hurry! Be a vev of beautiful babes, wild animals, strong men—all yours, if you step right up.
Never a dull moment here! Thrilling side shows with something happening every minute.
What has a three ring circus got that. Watson library hasn't?
求 求
Well, let's see—peanuts, soda pop ice cream—and that's about all, brother.
But then the Watson library "circus" is absolutely free. No cost to you ever. Music, laughter, gaiety, poise—all yours, gratis.
Perhaps you haven't noticed the commotion all hours of the day and night at Watson. If you haven't, it's because you've either making the noise, or you long ago gave up the idea of studying there.
K. U. has a fine library, complete with thousands of volumes and many reading and reference rooms. And what is it used for?
That's right—a meeting place for Joe College, Betty Coed, and all their rambunctious chums. It's really pathetic to watch the so-called "eager beaver" trying to study in the library.
There are people gallivanting up and down the stairs, making more racket than a herd of horses. There are the "students" who traipse outside for a cigarette every ten minutes, and whose conversations drift disturbingly through the windows. There are the lovebirds, who bill and coo at the next table. There are the giggling, gossiping pledges. There is every kind and size of noise in Watson, and it's practically impossible to get anything done there except reading the home town paper.
The library, whether you are aware of the fact or not, is the place for study. Any thinking student who possibly can, steers clear of the library whenever possible, but there are many times, when it is absolutely essential to work there.
There's a time and place for everything. The library's the place for study. So go play in your own backyard!—P.L.P.
Yolanda Meek, pianist and a pupil of Dean D. M. Swarthout, will present the third senior recital of the year tonight in Fraser theater.

The cork pops—Seen one evening just outside the reserve room of the library was "Corky" Baker, Phi Delt, blowing a kiss into the reserve room. We can't figure out whether this sign of affection was because of "Corky's" great love for leaving his studies behind him, or because of his great love for all the coeds in general in the reserve room.

You Ott to have seen them—Chi O's Margaret Ott and Pat Coolidge found themselves characters in the old story of blind date friends of a friend last weekend. However, the two well-khakiied specimens found everything too, too dull all evening, and at an early hour Ott and Coolidge suggested a return to the Chi O lodge in hopes of being able to entertain the two ace yawners there!
The sisters came to their aid willingly. Just as the two boys placidly sat down, in walked Bonnie Holden, garbed in hula skirt, plus umbrella over face. Behind her came Marilyn Sweeney in a giant Mexican hat that
covered all but her legs. In tripped Barbara Moffet in raincoat, boots, flirt hat, and ice skates tied around her neck, and Mimi Nettels with a towel over her head, housecoat on backwards, and a pillow tied around. Marge Kern was there in a long white evening coat, casually carrying a typewriter, and drawing up the silent procession was Margaret Kreider in black evening coat, carrying a waste basket.
The procession calmly passed through the room. Two stunned Looies looked again. "I say, sorority life has certainly changed, old boy," said one. "Best we go now," they agreed. They went.

Pfc. Mason Tells Of3rd Army Life
A description of German civilians in the territory of the Third army's advance is contained in a letter to a friends from Pfc. John D. Mason, son of Mrs. Grace Mason, 623 Indiana street.
Private Mason was a sophomore at the University when he entered the service in 1942. He is with an infantry division and has been overseas a year.
He writes, "As a whole the German people appear very healthy and reasonably well dressed. There is none of the near starvation that was so evident in the occupied countries."
Private Mason wrote that the German civilians both fear and hate the Americans, particularly the air corps men because of the bombing of Germany. "We have actually had cases of civilians coming up to us and asking how long it would be before they were killed," he stated.
"In one town we found recently a hospital where American prisoners of war were interned. They were really a happy bunch when we hit town. But what they told us of their experiences made us plenty mad. For example, they would march a lot across Germany and the civilians would kick and beat them, and even throw boiling water on them for no specific reason.
"You can probably understand a little better now why the men over here get so mad when they read of the way the German P.W.'s are treated in the U.S."
Second Lieutenant James R. Dominick, 21, son of man. and Mrs. Robert Dominick, 447 West 67th Terrace, Kansas City, Mo., has arrived overseas and has been assigned to the 14th Fighter Group, the second oldest P-38 group in the 15th AAF. Dominick is a P-38 Lightning fighter pilot.
J. R. Dominick, K.U. Student I=P-38 Pilot Overseas
Lt. Dominick was a student at the University and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon prior to enlisting in the AAF. He won his wings and commission at Moore Field, Texas, May 23, 1944.
Housing facilities for summer school students are being investigated by the Dean of Student Affairs in preparation for the summer term starting June 26.

Reduction in Sugar Allotment
Sugar rationing stamp No. 36 will cover four months instead of three. A 25 per cent reduction for the season was announced.
Richard Hudson was the paceetter in the two mile run, even though he lost first place to Morrison of Nebraska. Hudson led the way for the first five laps and then Morrison took a twenty-25-yard lead as they came out of the first turn on lap number six.
Notes on Saturday's Meet
Sportorials
Whitmore of Nebraska pushed into second place on the seventh lap, but early in the last lap Hudson regained the second spot. By now Morrison was 40 yards in the lead and the race was for second place. On the second turn of lap eight Hudson lost again, but in the straightaway he sprinted into second.
Nebraska almost had all three positions in the low hurdle. Norval Jackson, who finished third, was running in fourth place until McGeachen of Nebraska knocked over the last hurdle in the row and finished the race on the cinders.
After Owen Peck had set the high mark in broad jump, 20 feet 4 inches, the preliminaries were declared to be over and everybody took time out to watch the high jump. In the broad jump finals Peck's meet mark was never bettered so it stood as high for the meet.
Early in the javelin throw, Robison and Pierdert, of the Cornhuskers squad, had placed their best marks just a few inches of each other. In the finals Pierdert gained a 2-foot edge which stood until Robison's last throw.
The western belly-roll came off second best in the high jump. Bartkar of Nebraska, who took third, and Leroy Robison, who tied with Miller of Nebraska for second, used the new roll style. Jim Sargent, winner of the event, jumped orthodox, western-roll style.
Robison's winning distance of 173 feet $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches is $8 \frac{1}{4}$ inches better than his record-breaking performance at the Kansas-Oklahma dual meet April 14.

With the United States Third Army —(INS)—German radio broadcasts to the Third army front up to almost 7 o'clock tonight reported persistent announcements of a "complete capitulation" but at the same time the German-controlled Prague radio said German troops there would fight on indefinitely.
The German report brought no demonstration on the Third army front. One military policeman said: "I'll believe it when President Truman announces it."

Kansas Hails Her Famed Citizen, General Eisenhower of Abilene
In line with eventual opening of a second European front, the United States War department designated General Dwight D. Eisenhower as commander of the new war theater
He worked summers to finance his college education. Turned down at Annapolis because he was too old, (21), he went to West Point and received his bachelor of science degree in 1915. He joined the 19th infantry at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, after graduation from West Point, and was promoted to a lieutenant in 1916 Just before leaving Texas in 1917 he was promoted to captain.

He obtained his pilot's license at the age of 48.

(International News Service)
The most savage, destructive war in European war history will come to an official end today at 4 p.m. C.W.T. when the Germans accepting Allied terms for unconditional surrender will lay down their arms.
Reichsführer Karl Doenitz, successor to Hitler, broadcast the announcement that all guns would be silenced at 11 p.m. British double summertime.
Washington—(INS)—President Truman, speaking to a victorious nation, today told the American people that the hour of complete victory has come in Europe and that Germany has surrendered unconditionally to the Allied forces.
At the same time the President directed a grim warning to Japan that now that the war is over in Europe, the greatest military machine in all the world's history will be unloosed upon the Japanese homeland to bring about its utter destruction of unconditional surrender.
"This is a solemn but a glorious hour," he said.
The President sent the nation his victory broadcast at 9 a.m., CWT.
Eisenhower Informs
"General Eisenhower informed me that the forces of Germany had surrendered to the United nations," The President said, "The flags of freedom fly over all Europe."
The unconditional surrender, which ended the war in Europe after five years, eight months, and six days, was signed at Reims, France, at 2:41 a.m., French time, Monday. Col. Gen. Gustav-Jodl, new chief of staff for the German army, signed for Germany. For the supreme Allied command, the surrender agreement was signed by Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, chief of staff for General Eisenhower.
It was also signed by Gen. Ivan Susloparoff for Russia and by Gen. Francois Sevez for France. General Eisenhower was not present at the signing.
The major reason given for the delay in making the official proclamation of the surrender of Germany and the end of the war in Europe is this: that the German communication system had so badly disintegrated that it required hours to send the proper orders to all of the German commanders fighting in isolated and scattered areas.
Another reason for the delay, as explained by Churchill, was that the Allied powers insisted upon getting a clear-cut surren- (Continued to page eight)

White Flag in Berlin Does Not Mean End Of War for Troops
Is your man in Europe? Then, you want to know when he will be home.
The job if withdrawing our fighting forces from Europe, keeping their morale at a high level, reequipping them and turning them on the Japanese in the Pacific as soon as possible, presents an enormous mid-war problem.
According to military and naval authorities, it will be many months before most of the American soldiers come home, and few of them will come to stay. The defeat of Germany makes little difference in the case of the Navy, as a large percentage of our sea forces already are in the Pacific area, and other vessels will be left for patrolling and training purposes. Navy demobilization will not take place till the defeat of Japan, Admiral King says.
Some troops will stay in Europe as the army of occupation. It probably will be a year or two before replacements will make it possible for them to come home. Many of the service units of the ground and air forces will go directly to the Pacific to prepare bases for the combat soldiers following alter. Others—but few others—will be sent to the Pacific by way of the United States and a furious. Most of the men fit into these two latter categories.
Joseph Stalin
I
Russia's Premier
Josph Stalin became premier of Soviet Russia, succeeding Molotov, n 1941.
Russia's war aims were stated by tim in an address on March 6, 1942. They were in part "abolition of social exclusiveness, equality of nations, and integrity of their territories, liberation of enslaved nations, restoration of democratic libraries, and the destruction of the Hitler regime."
Stalin, who was born in 1879, oined the Russian revolution at the age of 15, and by 1897 was secretly sading a Marxist circle at the Seminary at Tiflis. He was arrested and xiled six times.
After the Russo-Japaense war in 1905 he became one of Lenin's most rusted lieutenants.
In 1934 Stalin became 1 of 37 members of the Presidium of the All-Union Central Executive committee, his first government position.
He has been married twice. His first wife, Catherine died in 1917. n 1919 he married Nadyezhda who died in 1922. He has two sons and one daughter. One son is in the Russian air force and the other is a captain in the artillery. Both have been decorated for valor.
Still others will be sent back here and demobilized. The wounded will be brought home, if possible, within three months. As many of the air forces as can be spared will come home on furlough, though Gen. H. Arnold says that a great number will be sent directly to the Pacific.
A point system giving credits for length of time in service, length of time overseas, combat decorations, and parenthood, has been worked out by the army to facilitate a fair method of discharge. Men with the highest number of points will be discharged first.
Though this plan applies to men in
the Pacific, as well as in Europe, it will take longer for replacements to reach them, and because they have farther to go, it will require more time for them to get home.

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring!
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red!
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—
for you the bugle trills.
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths

For you they call, the swaying mass,
their eager faces turning;
Here, Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still.
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound,

Memorials Will Not Repay Them
A piece of rock and bronze in the city park—a name inscribed! Are these the things for which the men we love are fighting and dying? Ask one of them.
They are giving life for life; they are buying freedom with freedom. In letters as high as the stratosphere stands their bequest: "To those who have never known the fullness of life, its joy and sweetness, we give our lives. To those who have never held freedom in their hearts and felt its steady pulse, no matter what the odds—to those, our freedom goes."
You who would shed public tears and raise high monuments, who would make speeches and eulogize the "glorious dead"—if it is in you to feel compassion and true grief, carry their plans to completion and fulfill their shattered dreams. Only thus will they not be forgotten.
When you look down on the poor and trample the weak, when you discriminate between black and white and Jew and Gentile, when you spend on wood and stone what might be spent on flesh and blood and spirit, you are breaking and denying the will they have written in blood and pain and loneliness.
Heroic Dead Command the Living To Remember Terrific Cost Paid
Is it more blessed to give than to receive? We should be able to tell you but it is a little late. Our sacrifice is over. The pain and dirt and hell in which we died means nothing to us now.
What does it mean to you? You who live in freedom and safety—you who LIVE.
We don't ask that you make heroic figures of our Unknown Memory. We were just men—men who did not want to die. We were not impregnated with a fanatical idealism which exacts death from its believers. Ours was a philosophy of life.
We wanted to be healers of men, not killers. We wanted to be engineers curbing the ravages of nature, not wreckers creating a devastation more severe. We wanted to be scientists reaching beyond man's knowledge for longer and better life. We want to be teachers freeing men from ignorance and intolerance. But most of all, we wanted just to love instead of hate. We wanted to work out better ways of living with our fellowman—not better ways of killing men.
What did we do? We fought and died — some of us with beards sparse on our chins, some with sons unborn, most who'd never have sons. We made the down payment on this thing called peace with our lives, with our potentialities, with our plans for our future.
Not what we were but what we might have been—that is the price of victory to you. Don't let a thing so dearly bought be lost by failing to keep up the installments until it's paid in full.
We see around us every day the suppression of thought, intimidation through economic dependence, attempted regimentation and indoctrination. And does this not remind us of the Nazi burning of the books? We see the suppression of news and have propaganda thrust upon us. And how does this differ from the Nazi censorship but in degree? Above all, we must guard against any attempt at a regimentation of thought. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press must be maintained as the means of expression for freedom of thought.
We have seen the Germans set themselves up as a race superior to all others. We have seen their persecution of other peoples—based on that premise. Is there not a very real parallel between that German attitude and the attitude of a great many Americans toward our racial minorities? The Negro, the Jew, the Japanese-Americans: they are Americans—but more—they are people, they are human beings. There is, and can be, then, no excuse for the underground persecution of the Negro, for the existence of anti-semitic feelings, for the exclusion of Japanese-Americans from our society.
Defeat of Germany Does Not Insure Absolute Destruction of Fascism
Germany is defeated! We like to think that its fall is the fall of European fascism—of fascism in the world. We feel that in Germany's defeat and Hitler's exit from power, an ideal is dead—an ideal odious to all democratic thinkers. But in so doing, we place ourselves on the brink of a dangerous pitfall. We must not fail to realize that the fight against the tendencies of fascism is not over. We must see the real meaning of democracy. Participation in government by all constitutes a very superficial type of democracy. Democracy encompasses much more than that.
We have observed both in America and in Germany the subjection of the interests of a great many people to those of a few. Real democracy has a very integral economic aspect. It does not mean a powerful few, a subjugated many—rather, the alleviation of the economic ills of all. Democracy means, if you will, the brotherhood of mankind.
Let us, then, not give up the fight when it is far from won. Let us pursue it to victory—beyond Berlin—far beyond the Axis—to a true victory for democracy.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 8, 1945
Mein Himmel, Was Ist Hier Los? There Must Be a Mistake in Script
Into the hands of German youth will be given the great statesmanlike mission of Washington which the corrupt democracy of the United States has trodden under foot; Adolph Hitler, told a group of dinner guests in June, 1933.
"The America of today will never again be a danger to us," agreed Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda.
In his blueprint for world domination, Adolph Hitler had a final, little-known chapter concerning his plan for dealing with the United States.
Hitler Could Save America
Hitler's firm, preconceived notion about North America in 1933 was that the continent would never again take part in a European war, and that with her millions of unemployed, the United States was on the brink of a revolution from which only he—Adolph Hitler—could save her.
Someone had suggested to Hitler that it might be of decisive importance for Germany to solicit the friendship of North America. Certain members of the Nazi party at that time had publicly emphasized the unique value of a friendly relationship with the United States.
To these un-asked-for opinions Hitler scoffed. "Whose friendship? The friendship of the Jewish jobbers and moneybags?"
On many occasions Herr Hitler had openly expressed his contempt for the existing government of the United States, exclaiming, "This is the last disgusting death-rattle of a corrupt and outworn system which is a blot on the history of this people. Since the Civil War, in which southern states were conquered, the Americans have been in a condition of political and popular decay. It was the American people themselves who were conquered, not the southern states."
Hilter told his associates that the declaration of German as the national language of the United States had been lost by only one vote in
Congress, and that the German component of the American people would be the source of its political and mental resurrection.
"I am firmly convinced," said Hitler, "that in a certain section of the American middle class and the farmers, the sound fighting spirit of colonial days has not been extinguished. We must awaken that spirit. National socialism alone is destined to liberate the American people from their ruling clique and give them back the means of becoming a great nation."
Hitter bragged that he would undertake this task "simultaneously with the restoration of Germany to her leading position in America."
"The American people is not yet a nation. The Yankees have failed to create a nation. Today this is being avenged. Their difficulties become insuperable."
In America," said Hitler, "we shall have men whom degenerated Yankeeedom will not be able to challenge. We shall succeed in making the new political and social order the universal basis of life in the entire world."
Herr Goebbels echoed Hitler's opinions saying, "Nothing will be easier than to produce a bloody revolution in North America. No other country has so many social and racial tensions. We shall be able to play on many strings there."
Hitler continued his treatise on what he planned to do with the United States, "It is a mistake to assume that there was ever danger from the United States in the last war. The Americans behaved like clumsy boys. The American is no soldier. The inferiority and dea-
dence of this allegedly new world is evident in its military inefficiency."
"This time," cried the chancellor, "there will be no new Wilson arising to stir up America against us. At the right moment a new America will exist as our strongest supporter."
Must be a mistake in the script!
George S. Patton
A.U.S.
George S. Patton was born November 11, 1885, on a ranch in San Gabriel, Calif.
He started his military career in 1903 at the Virginia Military Institute where he was known as a bad student but a good sailor, winning several sailing championships. He was also a great track athlete. He took part in the Olympics at Stockholm in 1912 and won first or second place in racing, swimming, and horsemanship. A day before the finals he set a new world's record in target shooting.

Wartime college spirit at K.U. gave place to something else in 1918, just as it has this war year of 1945.
There were no rallies, no bon fires, no night shirt parades before a football game, and the Oklahoma Sooners romped through the Jayhawkers to a 33-0 victory in the first football game of the season on Nov. 8, 1918.
The prospect for leaves looked rather gloomy for the Student Army Training Corps command at the University before the Armistice, and it looked doubtful if they would observe Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The Marine corps section had been disbanded and there was to be no

Battle of Europe,Begun on D-Day Will Be Cited as One of World's Greatest Military Undertakings
The battle of Europe, destined to go down in history as one of the greatest military undertakings with perhaps the greatest consequences at stake, was begun by the Allies on June 6, 1944. D-day, when they hurled an armada of 4,000 ships, 11,000 planes, and whole divisions of airborne troops across the English channel for the invasion of France.
Six months later Allied troops had crossed the German frontier, fought on the "sacred soil" of the Reich—something that Hitler vowed never could happen—and were at the gates of the Ruhr and inside the Saar, industrial sections necessary to Germany for her to continue the war. Germany had taken a terrific pounding from the air, fortress cities had been captured in drives that reached the Rhine and the defenses that guarded the way to Berlin.
Alled Drive spree Between two and three million men were employed in the offensive over a battle line that extended some 450 miles from the North Sea in the north, to the Swiss border in the south. In the first 28 days of the invasion more than a million Allied troops, were landed, and the movement continued with the later capture of ports in France and the Netherlands.
Allied Drive Spread Over France ...
In the first 100 days the Allied forces swept through France from the west and the south—the invasion from the south opened on Aug. 15 and eight days later Marseilles fell. Once through the German defenses in the west, the drive of the Allies spread out over France.
Early in July the Ninth American army engineered a breakthrough in the Normandy peninsula at St. Lo and Caen, opening the way for an Allied drive on the land and in the air. The main Allied offense was directed eastward to Paris, but there was also a curving advance
The American First army launched one spearhead for Luxemburg and the German westwall; a second spearhead struck more to the north toward Aachen and Duesseldorf, on the way to Cologne and the war industrialized Ruhr. American, British and Canadian armored columns advanced through crumbling Nazi defenses across the Somme and Marne battlefields of World War I. Allies Take Four Large Forts
The advance of the first army into Germany—the first invasion of the western Reich in strength in this war or the last—was made 98 days after the Atlantic Wall had been breached. The Siegfried line was cracked at Uebach, by the U. S. first army. Aachen, the first German city to be captured in this war, was seized on Oct. 21.
to the Sine. Canadian and British armies veered to the north to free Belgium and repeat the operation for the Netherlands.
After 50 months of German occupation, Paris was freed in August after four days of fighting in which thousands of unarmed citizens and 50,000 armed men routed the Germans out of the city.
The advance against Paris was made by the Third army which continued its drive toward the Rhine and later joined the American Seventh and French First moving up from the Mediterranean.
Fight on World War I Battlefields
Four large ports, essential to the Allies for the transfer of troops and equipment, were taken during the summer and fall drives—Brest, a former U-boat base; Calais on the Channel coast was a prize of the Canadians who also gathered in Le-Havre, another channel port; and Antwerp in Holland was captured by the British.

field armies was begun in mid-November with a drive eastward into Germany, France, and the Netherlands. On Nov. 20 the American Seventh and French First armies entered the great fortress city of Belfort on the south, and on the following day, Metz, another fortress city, was captured.
Highlights in Life Of Montgomery
Montgomery took command of the Eighth army while it was fighting Rommel's Afrika Korps in North Africa. He whipped the United Nations' forces into a cohesive fight unit and the result was a major Allied success sending Rommel's Korps fleeing across the desert.
In the minds of many persons he is associated with a black beret or and Australian slouch hat which he always wears.
he was on the Dunkerque beach on May 13, 1940.
The French forces continued their drive to take Saverne, and the Ninth army drove for the Roer river, encountering heavy German resistance before the Colonne plain. The U.S. Third Army struck for Saarbruecken and Sarreguemines where they forced crossings on the Saar and opened the way to ran advance into the Reich basin. The third army smashed into Saarlautern and fought into the Siegfried line at two places. Germans Open Counter-offensive
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, the stern disciplinarian and deeply religious commander of the British Eighth army, was born in 1887.
In the western Reich—the home of the Rubr—the Germans stood on the Fhine almost 100 miles within' the frontier.
He is a widower. In 1927 he married Betty Carver who died in 1937. He has one son:

Why, aggressive, incisive in speech, he has become famous for his self-confidence, absolute calmness and self-control.
The German Army opened a counter-offensive on the western front on Dec. 17 on a 50-60 mile front between Monschau and Trier on the borders of Belgium and Luxemburg. The attack, directed against the southern flank of the American First army, was the first heavy blow struck by the Nazis since the invasion of France. The German counter-offensive was aimed to relieve the Allied pressure against the Ruhr and Saar industrial areas so vital to the German military machine.
Allies Check Nazi Gains
The weather, keeping the American Air forces on the ground, aided the Germans' offensive. Their advance penetrated a distance of 40 miles into the American lines when the weather cleared. When the U.S. air force again went into action, the German gains were slowed to a mile or less a day. At the same time the

Peace Masquerades
★ ★ ★
"Peace! Armistice terms signed by Germans this morning! Fighting to cease at 2 p.m!"
These were the headlines blazoned across front pages of many newspapers Thursday, Nov. 7, 1918.
Peace! Waves of celebrations swept the country. The war was over!
And then the headlines changed. No armistice had been signed. The too-eager press association reporter who had issued the statement admitted it was not a verified report. There was still a war.
All America waited again, after the noise and excitement of the false armistice had died away.
Lawrence waited, too. This was Thursday. Papers serving the city had not published the erroneous report. Verified releases said Foch had delivered the peace terms to the Germans at 5 p.m.
Saturday. "Armistice envoys wait for word from Berlin. Germans must answer by Monday, 11 a.m."
Another day of waiting, wondering. Then Sunday, Sunday night. Lawrence went to sleep, with suspense and expectancy under the surface.
But the night operator at the Santa Fe station was awake. Toward morning the keys clicked out the words everyone was waiting to hear.
"Huns quit! World War ends. Germans accept terms."
Railway telegraphers flashed results as press associations called sleeping editors to the telephone. Wires began to hum, presses began to turn. The war was over!
Shrill whistles woke the sleeping citizens of Lawrence, who looked at alarm clocks pointing to 4 a.m., and then realized what the sound meant.
Sleep vanished.
Mayor George L. Kreeck ordered bells and whistles turned loose. As people stumbled through the dark toward town, the lights were turned on. Cars filled the streets, honking at noisemakers who overflowed from the sidewalks. Everyone was making ingine with pans, horns, guns, anything.
Monday was a day of unrestrained joy. A hastily-formed committee planned a celebration at McCook field at 4 p.m. That night the Bowersock theater was the scene of a longer and more serious program.
The Salvation army joined the throng of people. Then the police department and the fire department swelled the parade.
Eighteen men from Lawrence, composing the last draft quota, left on Armistice day for Camp Funston, since they had received no orders not to report. These same men returned home the next day, the "first veterans" to come back.
That was Lawrence in 1918. Now, 27 years later, once more the wires carry flashes of the defeat of Germany.
"Feace! Germans accept terms."

Former Professor Sees Hilter's Old Bierhalle
Hitler's bierhalle, where the now noted Nazi party formulated itsressive ideals, was seen in 1936 by Dr. E. F. Engel, former professor of German at the University.
Professor Engel was in Germany
at that time with his family, as one
of the nine educators sent by the
arl Schurz foundation at Philadelphia to study the educational
system there. He is a former graduate of the University and was for
twice a faculty member.
"This Munich beer hall," Dr. Enel explained, "was one of many here young Germans met and formed fraternal groups called kneibe."
"The bierchail is a traditional and popular social institution for the youth who consume as many as 33asses of beer in one evening."
"It is there that under the influence of dring and soothing music the various movements of Germany have been startled."
litler Began Ideology in 1920
"And it is there that Hitler in 1920 fell in with a group of about disatisfied men, launching the medical ideology, that has brought disaster to Germany," Dr. Engel aid.
"The little party soon expanded
lining the hall to its capacity of a
undred, taking it over some nights,
saying only for their beer."
or, Engel was in Germany a number of times earlier and was able to see the country under the so-called free reichs; first under the Kaiser, then the ill-fated Weimar republic, and finally under Adolph Hitler.
It was in 1923, he explained, that Germany was politically discontented and economically weakened so that the party felt strong enough
to make its unsuccessful "扑uch". He continued the history of Hitler's rise to power by telling of his release from prison, and the election of the uptset to the chancellorship in 1933. Their plurality was sufficient to defeat the 30 other German parties, whose wrangling brought the failure of the republic.
Leader's Credit Hitler
"It is at this time that his leaders credited him with saving the country from the violent communist party," he added.
Dr. Engel, on his visit to Potsdam, suburb of Berlin where Hitler became chancellor, stood in the pulpit of the Garrison church where the dictator made his promise to reassert the master race and avenge the Versailles treaty.
From the administrator of education in Berlin, Dr. Engel received a pass to enter any educational institutions in Germany. In 1936 he could see the Nazi ideology already stamped into the minds of the youth.
"I saw them stand and give the 'heil Hitler' salute, and I read the texts on German history that deliberately had been changed to coincide with Nazi beliefs," he explained.
"Hitler as a man," he concluded, "was an unimpressive person with a poor physique, but his gift of speech and vigor of address brought him his mass following."

Zukhov Hailed As Efficient Red Chief of Staff
He entered the army in 1915 as a private. After the revolution in Russia he received an education and became prominent by his fighting in Mongolia in 1938.
Zhukov's slogan is "every man must fight like 10." That is the reason for the German defeat in Russia which he says was caused by the Germans being used to easy victories and "what they found here was real war that they were not ready for."
His contributions to the victories is said to be the elimination of a lot of bungling and clerical disorder of the army's administration.

Now Is the Time for All of Us to Re-double Our Efforts to Bring World War II to a Close.
But the war is only half over. A powerful and cunning enemy is threatening our security in the west. He will use every device possible to defeat us.
Our boys are out there giving their lives for America. We at home can do our part by working at a defense job, eliminating absentism (Japan's 7th column), and by buying that extra War Bond. Let's Go America.

V-E DAY--der from the government of the German people as well as from the German military command.
In Victors Hands
After signing the surrender, the German General Jodl, declared, "With this signature, the German people and armed forces are for better or worse delivered into the victor's hands. In this war, which has lasted more than five years, both have achieved and suffered more than perhaps any other people in the world."
Then the President declared that the job, however, is only half done.
"If I could give you a single watchword for the coming months, that word is—work, work, work.
"We must work to finish the war. Our victory is but half won. The west is free, but the East is still in bondage to the treacherous tyranny of the Japanese.
"When the last Japanese division has surrendered unconditionally, then only will our fighting job be done."
In his V-E day proclamation, officially notifying the nation of the end of the war in Europe, the President said:
"The Allied armies, through sacrifice and devotion and with God's help, have wrung from Germany a final and unconditional surrender. The western world has been freed of the evil forces which for five years and longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken the lives of millions upon millions of freeborn men.
"They have violated their churches, destroyed their homes, corrupted their children and murdered their loved ones. Our armies of liberation have restored freedom to the suffering peoples, whose spirit and will the oppressers could never enslave."
The President set aside Sunday, May 13, as a day of national prayer.
He said in a news conference in which he read his message to the nation and his proclamation of victory to a room full of assembled correspondents that it was eminently fitting that the day of prayer should also be Mother's Day.
day of prayer should thus be the unconditional surrender of Germany and the final cessation of hostilities in all of Europe, he directed this challenging warning to the last Axis partner, Japan:
"The Japanese people have felt the weight of our land, air, and naval attacks. So long as their leaders and the armed forces continue the war the striking power and intensity of our blows will steadily increase and will bring the utter destruction to Japan's industrial war production, to its shipping, and to everything that supports its military activity.
"The longer the war lasts, the greater will be the suffering and hardship which the people of Japan will undergo—all in vain. Our blows will not cease until the Japanese military and naval forces lay down their arms in unconditional surrender."
Then the President gave his formula of what unconditional surrender means in precise terms to Japan.
"Just what does the unconditional surrender of the armed forces mean for the Japanese people?
"It means the end of the war."
Malott Tells of Plans
In a statement concerning victory in Europe, Chancellor Malott said today. "In keeping with the spirit of solemnity and continued purpose which marks the close of the war in Europe, the University of Kansas holds to its appointed tasks observing only in an all-student convoction, the cessation of the hostilities against Germany."
"Let us in this hour of victory dedicate ourselves to the high purpose not alone of peace, which means war's end, but of a peace which is lasting, which will lendure with surety through the years to come."
"Thus, do we consecrate the day to the memory of 134 gold stars, honoring the sons of K. U. who will never return."

V-E...JAPS NEXT TRUMAN SAYS
'Big Five' In Accord But Latin American Nations Indignant
San Francisco—(INS)—The "Big Five" were in complete accord today in a charter for world security but only after appeasing Russia at the price of provoking a major revolt among Latin American nations.
As peace came to the western world on Europe's battlefronts, open warfare broke out in the United Nations conference.
Latin American spokesmen openly charged the United States with double-dealing and with abandoning the Monroe doctrine after selling it to the nations be-
The magnitude of Russia's victory in the "Big Five" agreement on amendments to the Dumbarton Oakes formula for world security was only beginning to sink in on startled delegations. The Brazilian, Pervidian, Uraguayian, Mexican, Bolivian and Cuban leaders held indignation meetings protesting the American decision on subordinating the Chapultepec regional agreements to the new world security order.
Walter Martie and his orchestra, with vocalist Dolores Morgan, will play for the semi-formal dance which will be from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.
Their spokesmen threatened a fight in the conference itself to overthrow this "Big Five" decision.
The Russians, after days of secret negotiation with the United States and Britain, with China and France tagging along, disclosed their g reat victory at a news conference held by V. M. Molotov, the Soviet foreign commissar.
I.S.A. Sweetheart To Be Crowned Saturday Night
The candidates are Giselle Roy and Willa Wolfe, Corbin; Pat Dodge, Tipperary; Ruth Brown, Locksley; Gracie Piros; Miller; Lula Hughes, Watkins; Betty Young, Jolliffe; Mary K. Booth, Foster; Mary Olive Marshall, College senior, and Eleanor Albright, College senior, representatives of unorganized independents.
An I.S.A. "Sweetheart" will be crowned at the dance in the lounge of the Union building Saturday night, Jack Nichols, I.S.A. president, has announced.
A queen and two attendants will be chosen from ten candidates nominated by organized houses and from representatives selected by the unorganized independent students.
Senior Class Meeting To Be Held Friday
Reports of the various other committees also will be made.
Malott Explains Responsibilities Of Peacetime
Firm action and perennial watchfullness are the responsibilities of each individual for the establishment of a lasting peace, stated Chancellor Deane W. Malott at the special V-E Day convocation this morning in Hoch auditorium.
"We must avoid the errors of yesterday, in order to establish a peace which will endure," Mr. Malott said. Accurate and disinterested information is the first responsibility of the individual. "Above all else, the information which we receive and to which we give credence must be disseminated from disinterested sources, free from the grasp of a seeking propaganda."
Clear Thinking Necessary
The second responsibility for individual aid in winning the peace is clear thought and understanding. We face the most difficult problem in history, a great challenge to those who have faith in democracy, Mr Malott said.
A report of the gift committee's work will be presented for the approval of the class of '45 at the class meeting to be held in the third floor auditorium of Frank Strong hall, 10:30, Friday, according to Donald Alderson, class president.
Seniors will be excused from their 10:30 classes to attend the meeting, he announced.

News Of Victory Taken Calmly As Students Look To Pacific War
All over the campus this morning there was a serious undertone as students went on their regular rounds of classes. Students were happy and thankful that the European war was finished but they said
(continued to page four)
The voice of President Harry S. Truman was coming from the radio as millions of Americans listened this morning to the official announcement of the victory news that had been rumored for more than a week.
The crowd quietly dispersed at the end of the president's speech only to re-group a moment later at the announcement of a transcription of Prime Minister Churchill's address.
A few eyes met but no smiles were exchanged. There was no sign of joviality or celebration as the President of the United States reminded the people of the big job yet to be done in the Pacific.
In the lounge of the University's Memorial Union building a crowd of V-12's, DuPont engineers, and a scattering of civilian students going to the cafeteria for breakfast grouped around the radio and listened to the words telling of Germany's unconditional surrender with a solemn intentness.
The K.U. alumna financed her way through college by campus employment and found time to take part in many campus activities. A booklet written by her and published by the Alumni Association is entitled "It Ain't So Hard to Keep Going If a Feller Can See He's Going Somewhere." It was an idea expressed by a Kansas farm hand.
Jay Janes Founder Dies in New Jersey
Mrs. James, a member of the class of 1925, married Wallace James, engineering '25. Of their three children, Dorothy, the eldest has been in communication with Mary Olive Marshall in making plans to come to the University next year.
She had many acquaintances on the campus and in Lawrence.
Mrs. Dorothy Macivor James, founder and first president of Jay Janes, died Saturday evening at her home in West Caldwell, N.J., following an extended illness, according to word received by Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
Fight Ends 4 p.m.; Sunday Set Aside As Day of Prayer
(International News Service)
While proclamations of Germany's unconditional surrender were simultaneously broadcast from London and Washington today, the Moscow radio made no mention of the surrender and there was no indication that the Russians were celebrating V-E day.
Informed circles in London believe the Soviets will celebrate tomorrow. In an eagerly awaited broadcast, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that the surrender agreements will be ratified and confirmed in Berlin today.
Previously, German Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz had broadcast the announcement from Flensburg that the "cease fire" order to all German forces would become effective at 4 p.m. C.W.T. bringing Europe's five and one-half year war to its official end at that hour.
The German surrender, Churchill said, was signed at 2:41 a.m. yesterday at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters. Hostilities will cease, he said, at one minute after midnight Wednesday morning.
In China, Chiang Kai-Shek hailed the allied victory in Europe today and declared that "the whole stupendous weight of humanity will now come down upon Japan."
The President set aside Sunday, May 13, as a day of national prayer.
day of prayer should also be Mother's Day.
As Mr. Truman proclaimed the unconditional surrender of Germany and the final cessation of hostilities in all of Europe, he directed this challenging warning to the last Axis partner Japan:
"The Japanese people have felt the weight of our land, air, and naval attacks. So long as their leaders and the armed forces continue the war the striking power and intensity of our blows will steadily increase and will bring the utter destruction to Japan's industrial war production, to its shipping, and to everything that supports its military activity.
"The longer the war lasts, the greater will be the suffering and hardship which the people of Japan will undergo—all in vain. Our blows will not cease until the Japanese military and naval forces lay down their arms in unconditional surrender."
Then the President gave his formula of what unconditional surrender means in precise terms to Japan.
"Just what does the unconditional surrender of the armed forces mean for the Japanese people?
"It means the end of the war."
In his V-E day proclamation, officially notifying the nation of the end of the war in Europe, the President said:
"The Allied armies, through sacrifice and devotion and with God's help, have wrung from Germany a final and unconditional surrender. The western world has been freed of the evil forces which for five years and longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken the lives of millions upon millions of freeborn men.

White Flag in Berlin Does Not Mean End Of War for Troops
Is your man in Europe? Then, you want to know when he will be home.
The job if withdrawing our fighting forces from Europe, keeping their morale at a high level, reequipping them and turning them on the Japanese in the Pacific as soon as possible, presents an enormous mid-war problem.
According to military and naval authorities, it will be many months before most of the American soldiers come home, and few of them will come to stay. The defeat of Germany makes little difference in the case of the Navy, as a large percentage of our sea forces already are in the Pacific area, and other vessels will be left for patrolling and training purposes. Navy demobilization will not take place till the defeat of Japan, Admiral King says.
Some troops will stay in Europe as the army of occupation. It probably will be a year or two before replacements will make it possible for them to come home. Many of the service units of the ground and air forces will go directly to the Pacific to prepare bases for the combat soldiers following alter. Others—but few others—will be sent to the Pacific by way of the United States and a furlough. Most of the men fit into these two latter categories.
Joseph Stalin
Russia's Premier
Joseph Stalin became premier of Soviet Russia, succeeding Molotov, n 1941.
Russia's war aims were stated by tim in an address on March 6, 1942. They were in part "abolition of racial exclusiveness, equality of nations and integrity of their territories, liberation of enslaved nations, restoration of democratic liberties, and the destruction of the Hitler regime."
Stalin, who was born in 1879, oined the Russian revolution at the age of 15, and by 1897 was secretly sading a Marxist circle at the Seminary at Tiflis. He was arrested and silenced six times.
After the Russo-Japaese war in '905 he became one of Lenin's most rusted lieutenants.
In 1934 Stalin became 1 of 37 members of the Presidium of the All-Union Central Executive committee, his first government position.
He has been married twice. His first wife, Catherine died in 1917. In 1919 he married Nadyezhda who lived in 1932. He has two sons and one daughter. One son is in the Russian air force and the other is a captain in the artillery. Both have been decorated for valor.
Still others will be sent back here and demobilized. The wounded will be brought home, if possible, within three months. As many of the air forces as can be spared will come home on furlough, though Gen. H. H. Arnold says that a great number will be sent directly to the Pacific.
A point system giving credits for length of time in service, length of time overseas, combat decorations, and parenthood, has been worked out by the army to facilitate a fair method of discharge. Men with the highest number of points will be discharged first.

Yes, G. I. Joe Is Marching! By the Bitter Price of Blood, Sweat and Tears, He Has Gone Through Berlin: The City That Symbolized Nazism and the German Reich. But He's Not Laying Down His Arms Now! He Knows the Battle Is but Half Won, That He Has a Tough and Cunning Enemy to Lick in the West, That He Must Have the Best Equipment and the Best Training Possible to Lick Japan. Let Us, Here on the Home-Front, Take the Same Stand! At This Crucial Time Many of Us Are Prone to Adopt the Attitude That the War Is All but Over! More Than Ever, G. I. Joe Needs Help From Us in the Form of Vital War Supplies and the Moral Support That Comes From Letters Sent by Loved Ones.

O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN!
Dedicated to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who led in the struggle to give freedom to all peoples of the world.
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful
trink is done.
O Captain! my captain,
trip is done.
The ship has weather'd every rock, the
prize we sought is won.
The port is near, the bells I hear, the
people all exulting.
While follow eyes the steady keel, the
vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red!
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is fung—
for you the burtle trills.
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths
—for you the shores crowding.
For you they call, the swaying mass,
the their eager faces turning;
Hove, Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still.
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound,
its entrance closed, and done.
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores! and ring, O bells!
* But I, with mournful tead.
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Memorials Will Not Repay Them
A piece of rock and bronze in the city park—a name inscribed! Are these the things for which the men we love are fighting and dying?
Ask one of them:
They are giving life for life;
they are buying freedom with freedom.
In letters as high as the stratosphere stands their bequest: "To those who have never known the fullness of life, its joy and sweetness, we give our lives. To those who have never held freedom in their hearts and felt its steady pulse, no matter what the odds—to those, our freedom goes."
You who would shed public tears and raise high monuments, who would make speeches and eulogize the "glorious dead"—if it is in you to feel compassion and true grief, carry their plans to completion and fulfill their shattered dreams. Only thus will they not be forgotten.
When you look down on the poor and trample the weak, when you discriminate between black and white and Jew and Gentile, when you spend on wood and stone what might be spent on flesh and blood and spirit, you are breaking and denying the will they have written in blood and pain and loneliness.
Heroic Dead Command the Living To Remember Terrific Cost Paid
Is it more blessed to give than to receive? We should be able to tell you but it is a little late. Our sacrifice is over. The pain and dirt and hell in which we died means nothing to us now.
What does it mean to you? You who live in freedom and safety—you who LIVE.
We don't ask that you make heroic figures of our Unknown Memory. We were just men—men who did not want to die. We were not impregnated with a fanatical idealism which exacts death from its believers. Ours was a philosophy of life.
We wanted to be healers of men, not killers. We wanted to be engineers curbing the ravages of nature, not wreckers creating a devastation more severe. We wanted to be scientists reaching beyond man's knowledge for longer and better life. We wanter to be teachers freeing men from ignorance and intolerance. But most of all, we wanted just to love instead of hate. We wanted to work out better ways of living with our fellowman—not better ways of killing men.
What did we do? We fought and died — some of us with beards sparse on our chins, some with sons unborn, most who'd never have sons. We made the down payment on this thing called peace with our lives, with our potentialities, with our plans for our future.
Not what we were but what we might have been—that is the price of victory to you. Don't let a thing so dearly bought be lost by failing to keep up the installments until it's paid in full.
Defeat of Germany Does Not Insure Absolute Destruction of Fascism
We see around us every day the suppression of thought, intimidation through economic dependence, attempted regimentation and indoctrination. And does this not remind us of the Nazi burning of the books? We see the suppression of news and have propaganda thrust upon us. And how does this differ from the Nazi censorship but in degree? Above all, we must guard against any attempt at a regimentation of thought. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press must be maintained as the means of expression for freedom of thought.
Germany is defeated! We like to think that its fall is the fall of European fascism—of fascism in the world. We feel that in Germany's defeat and Hitler's exit from power, an ideal is deo—an ideal odious to all democratic thinkers. But in so doing, we place ourselves on the brink of a dangerous pitfall. We must not fail to realize that the fight against the tendencies of fascism is not over. We must see the real meaning of democracy. Participation in government by all constitutes a very superficial type of democracy. Democracy encompasses much more than that.
We have seen the Germans set themselves up as a race superior to all others. We have seen their persecution of other peoples—based on that premise. Is there not a very real parallel between that German attitude and the attitude of a great many Americans toward our racial minorities? The Negro, the Jew, the Japanese-Americans; they are Americans—but more—they are people, they are human beings. There is, and can be, then, no excuse for the underground persecution of the Negro, for the existence of anti-semitic feelings, for the exclusion of Japanese-Americans from our society.
We have observed both in America and in Germany the subjection of the interests of a great many people to those of a few. Real democracy has a very integral economic aspect. It does not mean a powerful few, a subjugated many—rather, the alleviation of the economic ills of all. Democracy means, if you will, the brotherhood of mankind.
Let us, then, not give up the fight when it is far from won. Let us pursue it to victory—beyond Berlin—far beyond the Axis—to a true victory for democracy.

Truman Proclamation Includes Warning to Japanese Militarists
(continued from page one)
In the United States, the spontaneity of New York's initial demonstration of joy died down and the metropolis set out to follow the more temperate, official celebration of V-E Day as other American cities were doing.
Front dispatches from Frank Conniff, I.N.S. correspondent with the ninth army at the Elbe river said that firing along that front already had ceased.
The patriot radio at Prague announced that the Germans in Czechoslovakia had agreed to the unconditional surrender terms and had been ordered by their commander to cease firing.
Subsequent broadcasts from patriot sources in Prague said some German units were disobeying the orders of their superiors and were looting and murdering Czech civilians.
It was significant that on the event of the victory announcement, Reichn furher Doenitz broadcast to the German people that the Nazi party had disappeared.
Apparently Doenitz, Hitler's successor assumed that the German commanders in the field would obey his orders for unconditional surrender. He said he had sent them the surrender command two days ago.
War clouds still darkened the Pacific, where American and Allied forces scored new gains against the Japanese.
In the furious battle for Okinawa's southern areas, powerful American warships of the Pacific fleet trained their long naval rifles on enemy strongpoints and helped break the stalemate existing along the Nahu battle line.
Many pillboxes, blockhouses, and other structures above the Nahai city were destroyed by the United States battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. Assisted by this sea bombardment as well as by swarms of war planes, troops of the United States 10th army hammered their way forward in all sectors.
MALOTT EXPLAINS---the Star-Spangled Banner. Prof. G. Criss Simpson substituted at the organ for Jerald Hamilton, who was taking an induction physical. Wendell Nickell, V-12 student, presented the invocation, followed by the singing of the hymn "O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand."

(continued from page 9) cable, and the American people must have faith in the success of them. Mr. Malott pointed out certain questions which lie before us, the answers of which must come from the American people for the organization of peace. Such questions are: "Why did the last peace fail? What price are we willing to pay for peace? What shall we do with our ships? What shall we do with our airplanes? What should be our policies in foreign trade?" Mr. Malott explained that the price of a lasting peace would be much less expensive than war.
"Upon the seriousness with which we analyze and think through the great problems before us depends the future of us all."
Act Now
Steps to preserve civilization and life must be put into effect as soon as possible. Our war veterans will soon be back, longing for the peace and security they left behind.
We must realize our common obligations, and pay less attention to our personal privileges, in order to cure the ills of the world, he continued. The peace must be won not one time, but many times, and we need thousands of 1-man armies to do it. He quoted Stuart Chase as saying that the chance of life for any man shall depend upon his willingness and ability to contribute to the welfare of mankind.
The University of Kansas' sacrifice of 134 men is a challenge to us that we shall have an enduring peace. "We must realize that perseverance in the cause of peace is as important as the initial wise action on its behalf. Peace has never before meant so much to each of us; its realization has never before been such a personal responsibility." Smuck Presides
Persis Snook, president of the All-Student Council, presiding over the program, introduced Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins, who led the audience in singing the first and last verses of
(continued from page one) the Pacific war is too far from being over to celebrate.
NEWS OF VICTORY
Donald Alderson, senior class president — "The proclamation morning came as an anti-climax. I took it rather casually yet realizing that it would mean the homecoming of many persons all over the world as well as former K.U., students. One of the nicest things to think about is that this will help the University get back into its normal stride."
Mazzie Lane, College junior.—"My reaction is just like everybody else's. I think it's wonderful but there is still a big job to be done."
Virginia Rader, College senior— "It's wonderful but I'm not going to do any celebrating until the Pacific war is over and Bob comes home."

Dolores Sulzman, College senior—"I've stayed up so many nights in the past two weeks hoping to hear this news and have been at the "Shack" so many times ready to put out an extra that I really couldn't get much enthusiasm worked up. No, I'm not going to celebrate."
Charles Moffett, College junior—"I got up this morning especially to hear the President's speech. It was something that we had been waiting for and knew was coming but it lost none of its effect for me. It was very impressive."

Peace Masquerades
★ ★ ★
"Peace! Armistice terms signed by Germans this morning! Fighting to cease at 2 p.m."
Peace! Waves of celebrations swept the country. The war was over!
These were the headlines blazoned across front pages of many newspapers Thursday. Nov. 7, 1918.
And then the headlines changed. No armistice had been signed. The too-eager press association reporter who had issued the statement admitted it was not a verified report. There was still a war.
Lawrence waited, too. This was Thursday. Papers serving the city had not published the erroneous report. Verified releases said Foch had delivered the peace terms to the Germans at 5 p.m.
All America waited again, after the noise and excitement of the false armistice had died away.
Saturday. "Armistice envoyes wait for word from Berlin. Germans must answer by Monday, 11 a.m."
Another day of waiting, wondering. Then Sunday, Sunday night. Lawrence went to sleep, with suspense and expectancy under the surface.
But the night operator at the Santa Fe station was awake. To-ward morning the keys clicked out the words everyone was waiting to hear.
"Huns quit! World War ends. Germans accept terms."
Railway telegraphers flashed results as press associations called sleeping editors to the telephone. Wires began to hum, presses began to turn. The war was over!
Sleep vanished.
Shrill whistles woke the sleeping citizens of Lawrence, who looked at alarm clocks pointing to 4 a.m., and then realized what the sound meant. Sleep unmanned.
Mayor George L. Kreeck ordered bells and whistles turned loose. As people stumbled through the dark toward town, the lights were turned on. Cars filled the streets, honking at noisemakers who overflowed from the sidewalks. Everyone was making inge noise with pans, horns, guns, anything.
The Salvation army joined the throng of people. Then the police department and the fire department swelled the parade.
Monday was a day of unrestrained joy. A hastily-formed committee planned a celebration at McCook field at 4 p.m. That night the Bowersock theater was the scene of a longer and more serious program.
Eighteen men from Lawrence, composing the last draft quota, left on Armistice day for Camp Funston, since they had received no orders not to report. These same men returned home the next day, the "first veterans" to come back.
That was Lawrence in 1918. Now, 27 years later, once more the wires carry flashes of the defeat of Germany.
"Feace! Germans accept terms."

ormer Professor Sees Filter's Old Bierhalle
Hulter's bierhalle, where the now-attended Nazi party formulated its passive ideals, was seen in 1936 Dr. E. F. Engel, former professor of German at the University. Professor Engel was in Germany that time with his family, as one of the nine educators sent by the url Schurz foundation at Philadelphia to study the educationalcem there. He is a former graduate of the University and was for years a faculty member.
This Munich beer hall," Dr. Enlil explained, "was one of many here young Germans met andemed fraternal groups called neibe."
"The bierhale is a traditional and "pular social institution for the buth who consume as many as 33 classes of beer in one evening." "It is there that under the influence of dring and soothing music the various movements of Germany have been started."

n. Engel was in Germany a num-

the country under the so-called
three reichs; first under the Kaiser,
Aden the ill-fated Weimar republic,
and finally under Adolph Hitler.
It was in 1923, he explained, that Germany was politically discontented and economically weakened so that the party felt strong enough to make its unsuccessful "putch." He continued the history of Hitler's rise to power by telling of his release from prison, and the election of the upshtart to the chancellorship in 1933. Their plurality was sufficient to defeat the 30 other German parties, whose wrangling brought the failure of the republic.

"It is at this time that his leaders credited him with saving the country from the violent communist party," he added.
Dr. Engel, on his visit to Potsdam, subburb of Berlin where Hitler became chancellor, stood in the pulpit of the Garrison church where the dictator made his promise to reassert the master race and avenge the Versailles treaty.
From the administrator of education in Berlin, Dr. Engel received a pass to enter any educational institutions in Germany. In 1936 he could see the Nazi ideology already stamped into the minds of the youth.
"I saw them stand and give the 'heil Hitler' salute, and I read the texts on German history that deliberately had been changed to coincide with Nazi beliefs," he explained.
"Hitler as a man," he concluded, "was an unimpressive person with a poor physique, but his gift of speech and vigor of address brought him his mass following."
Lt.-Gen. Bradley
Omar N. Bradley, a native of Missouri, was graduated from West Point in 1915 with a prophetical is prediction which said "his most prominent characteristic is 'getting here.' Some of us some day will be ragged to our grandchildren that sure, General Bradley was a class-Date of mine!"
While at West Point he won letters in baseball and football. Upon graduation he was commissioned a lieutenant in the infantry.

Charles De Gualle, French leader, was born Nov. 22, 1890. He was exiled from France in 1940 and condemned to death by Marshal Petain's government because he set up a Provisional French National Committee in London with himself as head.
Zukhov Hailed As Efficient Red Chief of Staff
Described by the newspaper, Pravda, as one of the most brilliant Soviet officers, Georgi K. Zhukov, an expert with tanks and parachutes, was made chief of staff of the Russian army in February, 1941.
He entered the army in 1915 as a private. After the revolution in Russia he received an education and became prominent by his fighting in Mongolia in 1938.
Zhukov's slogan is "every man must fight like 10." That is the reason for the German defeat in Russia which he says was caused by the Germans being used to easy victories and "what they found here was real war that they were not ready for."

Knox Enjoys Thrilling Last Day At Conference; Sees Soong
By Eloise Knox
This afternoon as I sat in Section U. Box II, of the Opera House for the Ninth Plenary Session, I think I couldn't have been happier. Because of the generosity of Jack Hamley, of the San Francisco I.N.S. office, I was given a press pass which admitted me to the conference itself! And I can't wait longer to tell you, Soong was one floor below me to the left. Once you located him, he was easy to find again. Among the group he was with, his most distinguishing characteristic was his attentiveness to the speaker. He seemed to be drinking in every phrase, and forming opinions constantly.
Opera House Commands Attention
Opera House Commands Attention
The Opera House is a beautiful building. The stage background is in dark blue; the 46 flags are draped in half moon fashion a few feet in front of the back wall; the carpets on the stage and in the aisles are a gorgeous light blue; the seats are henna in color, and looked very comfortable.
The delegates do not appear to have designated sections, but sit where they prefer. There were a few women in the delegation section (first floor) this afternoon. Balconies Packed, Cameras Roll
outcomes Packed, Cameras Roll First balcony, where the box seats are, was filled with people of the press and photographers. Constantly, as speakers delivered their addresses, the camera men and women are busy both on first floor and in first balcony. In the newspeople's press boxes, telephones are installed so that reporters can constantly keep in touch with their offices.
Both balconies above were packed. Opera and field glasses were seen everywhere, and people were obviously craning for a better look at the delegates on first floor. Reporter Turns in Pass
Reporter Turns in Pass
It's all over for me; I turned in my pass tonight; I had hoped to keep when I found I couldn't, for that little piece of paper had admitted me it for a souvenir, but didn't fuss to the most eventful, most thrilling week of my life.
I left the scenes of the United Nations Conference activities knowing that a great work is being done there. And I feel confident that if the best efforts of these trained men are guided by Him who doeth all things well, the United Nations Conference on International Organization will accomplish its purpose.

One high point as the announcement that there will be from 8 to 16 per cent more gasoline available for civilian use.
The flood lighting of the Washington monument and the capitol dome night told Washington that the coal browntown was over. The dome will be darkened again today as it as been since Pearl Harbor but brownout regulations for the public at large are lifted permanently.
More 'A' Gasoline
BOFA and the petroleum administration said the predicted 50 percent increase in A-card gasoline stations probably must wait 30 days least, pending studies of army and navy fuel needs. Except possibly
for tires, no other alleviations of rationing now is in sight.
No Conventions Yet
The office of Defense Transportation said it was not "even considering" lifting the prohibition against conventions, because the transportation problem will grow more serious as emphasis shifts to the Pacific war.
A spokesman said OPA in general would stand by its policy of holding reconversion prices on washing machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, and other long absent goods to the 1942 level.
Metnowhile the war department today advised all the theater of war commanders to put into effect the new selective service provision that 18-year-old inductees are to have six months of training before going into combat. The message went immediately after President Truman signed the law at the White House.

Chapultepec Security Pact Is Authorized
San Frisco—(INS)—Latin America won a momentous victory in the United Nations conference today when the United States agreed to authorize the use of the Chapultepec security pact to suppress local aggression in the western hemisphere. This means the nations of the western hemisphere can maintain peace among themselves without obtaining unanimous approval of the "big five" or the world security council before acting.

The two extreme ends of the band risers had to be removed to pull the blue curtain for the background against which the 8 by 12 foot American flag was dropped from the center. Screens were used to "camouflage" the risers behind the flag and to complete the setting the 38 United Nations flags were carried over from Frank Strong hall. These flags were placed in their standards with 19 flags flanking each side of the stage.
Europe 'At Peace'; Guerilla Fighting Still Continues
(International News Service)
Europe embarked on its first whole day of peace in more than five and one-half years today when the guns of war in the continent's most bloody conflict were officially silenced at midnight.
But the problems left in the wake of war furnished emphatic evidence that Europe's troubles did not end when Germany signed a final document of unconditional surrender.
Renegade German fliers attacked Prague and other areas of Czechoslovakia in the hours preceding the arrival of Soviet forces which liberated the country.

Goring started his career as a prisoner with a fanciful tale to the effect that Hitler had sentenced him to death on April 24, but that he had escaped with the aid of his "own" airmen.
Field Marshal Albert Kesesch, German commander-in-chief on the Western Front since early in March, also was captured.
With President Truman's ultimatum to Japan for unconditional surrender still ringing throughout the world, American forces and those of their Allies hammered relentlessly at the Japs in the Pacific.
In Moscow and throughout Russia celebrations of the tremendous victory over shattered Germany were in full swing. The Russians were not told officially of the complete capitulation until the early hours of this morning, Premier Stalin preferring to await the signing of the ratification of the surrender terms in Berlin before proclaiming final victory.
The increasing attention to early victory that will be given there was highlighted by a formal announcement by Gen. Harold McNarney, Allied commander in the Mediterranean that American veterans of the Italian campaign are already on their way to the Pacific.
E.S.M.W.T. Program To Be Discontinued On June 30
The Engineering - Science - Management War Training program of the extension division will be discontinued on June 30. Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
The program, beginning in December, 1940, has had an enrollment of 50,000 with classes in 41 cities in Kansas and in four of the larger cities in Missouri.

Kansan Comments
Students Get Orchid for Reaction To News of Victory in Europe
Students took victory in Europe very much in their stride yesterday. They took it calmly and happily with none of the backslapping, well-bottled exhilaration which might have accompanied the president's announcement of Germany's surrender.
Most students thought about the future. Sweethearts here were picturing their men, covered with dirt and mud in flithy trenches, who could stop hearing guns for a while and who could actually plan now to come home. What the men over there were thinking is not hard to imagine: home-cooking, a real bath, and the girl back home.
People had a lot on their minds yesterday. Convocation brought a record turnout of thinking University men and women, who found peace in their minds as they listened. Even the old luddy-duddies who usually have no interest outside their textbooks, had absorbed enough of the general spirit to go to Hoch. At 11:30 everyone was walking in the same direction—toward the auditorium, and that is somewhat unusual for a morning convocation.
When it was over, students remembered Truman's declaration, "If I could give you a single watch-word for the coming months, that word is—work, work, work," and went to classes. Business was as usual on the campus. Everyone seemed to remember that he was only through the first half of the long, bitter experience of war. Ensuing months would be grimly difficult, but students, judging from their actions yesterday, were ready.
Conference Reporter Returns
Eloise Knox, University Daily Kansas representative at the United Nations Peace conference in San Francisco, arrived on the campus at noon today to resume her studies and her duties as bookkeeper for the newspaper. She was commended on every hand for her interesting sidelights of the conference.

Mailcarrier's Son Killed in Action
Mrs. Josie McGhee, campus mail-carrier, has received word that her son, Sgt. Lee R. McGhee, was killed in action April 15 in Germany. He previously had been reported missing in action.
He went overseas in September, 1944. He had been wounded twice and reported as missing twice.
Survivors besides his mother are two brothers, S/Sgt. Paul L. McGhee, in England, and Cpl. Linn P. McGhee, Fort Lawton, Wash.

Clean Sweep. Gene Moore, fair-haired boy of the speech department, while walking along Massachusetts noticed an auction in progress. Not wanting to buy anything, Gene sauntered into the place and began to bid on the different "treasures"—harnesses, saddles and other odd things. Before the afternoon ended, Buyer Moore was the proud owner of a broom—a lovely broom broom, eight feet long and four feet wide.
***
What next. Now the Sigma Chi's can boast of a beautiful hunk or a V-shape as the Gamma Phi's and Chi O's call him. This isn't a new super weapon or anything. No, it's just Gene Roberts, the Sigma Chi's newest claim to fame. Another name for Gene in current circulation is "Tarzan." Since Chick Kouns, Gene's favorite barber, left a few weeks ago, the V-Shape has been going without a haircut and so the Tarzan qualities have been cropping out.
Oh, for the life of the old Navene. There are some wonderful prospects for husbands among the V-12's on this hill. They're gaining such good experience in the house-cleaning line. From 10 to 4:30 Saturday, the little sailors worked industriously cleaning PT's. It took Bob Bayles, Fiji, only two hours to swab down a deck—maybe it was sun stroke. One could find other Navy men hidden in different locations about the campus. A favorite hide-out was the bush behind the Theta house.
The boys of PT-5 were looking forward to a nice evening. Along with their blankets and mattresses airing on the front lawn was the sign "Blanket party tonight—as soon as it gets dark."
Come sunny days, and sighing winds, the Sigh boys grab their dates and go on a picnic. Sunday afternoon was the time for the great event and from reliable sources everyone had a wonderful time.

Robot Bomb Brings Elmer Zilch To Lawrence for Annual Z-Day
Yesterday was VE-day. Today is Z-day!
What's Z-day? That's when Elmer Zilch, noted newspaperman, publisher, and scientist, speaks to members of the journalism department at the annual Zilch dinner.
When he arrived in the United States in 1943 for the annual banquet, he was greeted with large street demonstrations in New York, Chicago, and Eudora, as he journeyed to Lawrence. However, this year he will fly directly to the Shack from Allied headquarters.
Mr. Zilch will arrive late this afternoon. Due to last minute conferences with "Ike" about the peace terms, he was unable to leave Europe until today. It is rumored that he is making the trip on a modified robot bomb, which may be sighted over Lawrence around 6 p.m.
The Shack is making elaborate plans to insure a hearty welcome for the Plumed Knight of Journalism, as Mr. Zilch is often called.
Mr. Zilch was born in Upper Queens, New York, in 1880. He was a rather backward child, but at the early age of 14 he began saying such simple words as "blonde," "beer," and "dice." He attended school in his home town, but gave up striving for an education after several long-
suffering teachers twisted his arm.
suffering teachers twisted his arm.
After a long and varied career, Mr. Zilch founded the New York Daily Bleat, and has devoted most of his time and effort to his newspaper since then, except when he has done research work on type lice.
The dinner will be at the Colonial tea room at 6:45 p.m. The highlight of the night will be the presentation of the annual Zilch award to the student who has done distinguished work in the journalistic field during the past year.
To all members of the journalism department. May 9, 1945, will go down in history as Z-day.

Capt. C. J. Bridgeman, British officer in the 15th Punjab regiment will lecture at the University next week, R. J. Nichols announced today.
Captain Bridgeman, granted leave from the Burma front where he has been five and one-half years, also saw action in East and North Africa.
At the outbreak of the war he volunteered for the Indian army, where he was commissioned early in 1940, later entering the 15th Punjab regiment.
During 1943 he experienced fighting on the Burma frontier, spending a great deal of the time with the most forward troops.
Two of his brothers were with the R.A.F. One has been killed in action and the other has been a prisoner of war in Germany for three years.
The date and place for the lecture will be announced later, Mr. Nichols said.

The cast includes Mary Lou Mathews, Marjorie Dinsmore, and William McGarry, College freshmen; Virginia Urban, Joan Harris, and Clyde Jacobs, College sophomores; Ruth Ann Bird, college junior; and Lee Baker, engineering junior.
Shack Rats Get "Low Down" At Zilch Dinner
'Forts' Hit Hard at Japan; Veterans to Come Home
Amid a bevy of South Sea island beauties, Elmer A. Zilch, patron saint of journalism, arrived last night at the annual dinner held in his honor at the Colonial tea room by the department of Journalism, after "a long but rapid trip from Europe via German submarine, pony express, yacht, and wheelbarrow."
While awaiting the arrival of Mr. Zilch the 65 journalists and their guests were entertained during dinner by skirts and impersonations given by students and classes of the department.
Expressing his regret at having missed last year's dinner, Mr. Zilch explained that at the time he was hanging by his toe nails by order of the Emperor. He told of his dramatic escape after a member of the underground cut his toe nails, thus freeing him.
Following the skits, a "fakeuty" meeting was held by the six members of the journalism staff at which time departmental plans were discussed. During the meeting a new member, Edwin Browne, University publicity director, was initiated. He took the journalists oath on the conventional stack of newspapers.
Charles Moffett, College junior,
was master of ceremonies.
World Thrills to Bright Lights Again After Many Months in Darkness
The street lights cast a soft glow over the campus as usual. One could still see the long string of lights at the war plant. But other than that, few were aware that theater marquees and restaurants and night spots of cities in many parts of the world once again were brightened by lights.
Washington, (INS) — The War department made public an elaborate system of partial demobilization of the army and disclosed that some doughbills will be discharged within the next two weeks.
Veterans Must Have 85 Points by May 12 To Receive Discharge
The lights went on again last night.
The University band, directed by Russell L. Wiley, presented a program at Topeka High school, yesterday.
The method of discharging heroes of the nation's victorious armies is based on a "point" system. Veterans who have achieved a "critical point" of 85 can expect to be discharged. Points will be given for:
One point for each month of service since Sept. 16, 1940, and one additional point for each month of overseas service; five points for combat credit for each award for distinguished service in actual combat; and, twelve points for each child up to a limit of three children.
Perhaps the difference was not noticeable to students on the campus, but in Lawrence, many gave quick gasps of pleasure when they turned into Massachusetts street and saw the multicolored neon signs blazing forth once more.
There was no difference in the appearance of the K. U. campus, but in Times,Square in New York,the
The 85-piece organization opened its concert at an afternoon assembly of the school with the "Star Spangled Banner," followed by the "William Tell Overture," "Joeanie with the Light Brown Hair," and First Suite in E Flat for Military Band" (Holtz).
Listed as eligible for the five point combat credits under the record provision are holders of the distinguished service cross, Legion of merit, silver star, distinguished flying cross, soldiers medal, bronze star, air medal, purple heart, and bronze service or battle participation stars.

Up on the Hill there was no change.
Only points scored as of Saturday May 12, will be taken into consideration in determining eligibility of release.
In London, and Paris, and Moscow, many children saw something besides the bleak, black night for the first time in their lives.
Now those peoples of the lighted cities await the illumination of the world which is still swathed in the darkness of war and devastation.
In San Francisco, peoples from many nations saw for the first time from the Top of the Mark the city in its full beauty at night.
Last night, the lights went on again for many peoples of the world.
Great White Way came back into its own.
One out of five men students who have enrolled in Indiana University for the current summer semester is a veteran of the present war.
Mortar Board, Sachem Sponsor All-Day Confab
A one-day conference to discuss student-faculty solidarity will be sponsored by Mortar Board and Sachem, Saturday, May 19, Beverly Bohan, Mortar Board president, has announced.
About 60 faculty members and students have been invited to the all-day meeting, which will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The group will meet in Frank强强 hall Saturday morning and from there will go to the Lawrence Country club.
This conference is an experiment in student-faculty relations, Miss Bohan explained. Its purpose is to further understanding between those who operate the University and carry on its educational program and those who are here to learn, she said. Plan Tentative Program
A tentative program has been planned around the question, "How can we add to the effectiveness of our University's educational program so that its end products will be more responsible citizens capable of doing a more efficient job of living?"

Blood Bank Has Made Last Trip
Blood donor activities at the University will be discontinued with the closing of the Red Cross Blood donor center in Kansas City, Mo., Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, chairman of the local committee, announced this morning.
Two hundred students have given blood since April, 1943, when the mobile unit of the Kansas City center made the first of seven trips to Lawrence. University students and Lawrence citizens have contributed 2,963 pints of blood.
Those who have given blood nine times are Leslie L. Waters, associate professor of economics, and Jo Lee Abbitt, College junior. Wallace Lee, United States Geological survey, and Kaye Townsend, College junior, have each given blood seven times.
Jay Janes to Have Initiation Dinner
A formal initiation dinner will be held by the Jay James at the Colonial Tea room at 6:30 tonight, Mary Olive Marshall, president, said today.
At the regular meeting yesterday members voted to donate a sum to the Flower Fund in memoriam to the Jay Jane founder, Mrs. Dorothy Maclvor James, who died Saturday at her home in New Jersey. The Flower Fund is an emergency fund set aside by the University for deserving students.
Three minor changes in the constitution were proposed and accepted by the group.
400 B-29'S Raid Eight Vital Targets; More Nazi's Taken
International News Service
The largest force of United States Super-Fortresse s ever to strike at Japan provided the Japs today with the first clear-cut indication that America's Pacific war leaders were not idly boasting when they pledged mounting blows against the "remaining enemy."
Swarming from bases on Tinian, Guam, and Saipan, some 400 of the mighty B-29's raided vital targets on three of the four main islands of Japan. Four of the Super-Fortress targets were fuel installations; the other four were kev air drones.
In Europe today victorious Allied commanders turned to the difficult task of enforcing the unconditional surrender terms signed by defeated Germany.
In Scandanavia, British and Norwegian troops took control of Oslo, and General Franzie Boehme, the Nazi commander, agreed to withdraw his troops from 48 Norwegian localities before tomorrow at midnight.
The Nazis turned Copenhagen over to a British naval force which immediately turned the administration of the port over to the liberated Danish authorities.
While Goering, Keschring, and Quisling, added to the bag of imprisoned Nazi leaders, Soviet leaders in Berlin have found at least four bodies, one of which may be that of Hitler. None have been definitely identified, however.
In the Pacific, General MacArthur revealed that elements of the 24th infantry division swarmed ashore on Samal island in another successful amphibious landing.
Seniors, including those who will have 15 hours or less to complete after July 1, will be excused from their 10:30 classes tomorrow to attend a class meeting in Frank Strong auditorium.
"It is very important that all seniors be present to hear the explanations concerning the coming commencement activities. Plans for the senior gift, the budget, and caps and gowns will be made," Donald Alderson class president, said.
Seniors Will Meet At 10:30 Tomorrow
Business to be discussed with the class includes the memorial gift which is presented to the University by the graduating class each year. Robert Buechel, gift committee chairman, will present the committee's plans to the class for approval.
The class will adopt a budget for the commencement activities. Items in the budget will include the amount each senior will be assessed for the gift, the senior breakfast and the cap and gown fee.

Kansan Comments We Gripe of Food Rationing Here; They Have No Food To Ration
"I have more food than I can eat; they faint with hunger in the street." America in the world of today!
America in the world Oh, yes, we have food rationing We are forced to abide by OPA rules and live by the law of the red and blue points. We are gallant in the face of such starvation.
A little hard to explain, then, that Americans consumed more food in the past year than ever before? A little embarrassing when Clarence Pickett of the American Friends Service Committee tells us that the official daily ration in France is 1500 calories while nutrition books declare that the average college student needs 2000 to 2300; a working man up to 3000.
man up to 3000.
If the garbage from the dining rooms of every house on the Hill were fed to Frenchmen instead of to Kansas pigs, perhaps 70 percent of the men of France would not have lost ten pounds in the last three months. Perhaps 50 per cent of the children there would not have tuberculosis in some form.
Unpleasant to reflect on, isn't it that the tables of Europe hold less and poorer food than we throw away?
If you read these words, murmur "Too bad!" and reach your hand back into that bag of potato chips, may you feel starvation some sweet day yourself. May you know the gnawing, aching pangs of hunger, and dream nights and days of having just one small piece of beef heart with which to quiet them.
with whom to quarrel.
The time has come for us really to ration food! Do with less! Sacrifice a little! For the sake of peace, let us share our bounty with a starving world—S.R.E.
Slides on Dante's 'Inferno'

Hankins of the English department in Fraser theater, May 15 at 7:30 p.m. While showing the slides, Professor Hankins will comment on the entire "Divine Comedy" (Dante) and its relation to the "Inferno."
ChineseChildren Visualize War In Art Display
An exhibition, "War Pictures by Chinese Children," made by children between 7 and 13 years of age in experimental schools in Chengtu, is on display now on the second floor of Spooner Thayer Museum. The exhibition was brought to this country by the American Friends Service committee.
Often the pictorial subject is of the struggle between China and Japan. One young Chinese pictures a big Chinese boot stepping on a tiny Japanese spider, and a landscape with the sacred mountain of Japan already bearing at its peak the flag of China, while crowds of allied planes fill the skies. The drawing is hopefully entitled "Fujiyama Next Year" by its 13-year-old artist.
Miss Mai-Mai Sze, daughter of the former ambassador to the United States and a graduate of Wellesley, has written an article concerning the exhibition. She writes in part as follows:
These drawings and paintings by Chinese children were done in some of the experimental schools in Chengtu. It is today the refuge of several colleges and the home of many of the new educational methods in Free China.
"Some of the children have chosen traditional Chinese subjects to illustrate their points, using the old formulas for brushwork. A few wild geese at the edge of a pond, drawn with dry nervous strokes, manage to convey the tenseness of "Alert for Emergency" with surprising concentration in the movement.

The making of this map was carried on in Kansas cooperatively by the state and federal geological surveys. Copies of the map are available from the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D.C., or from the State Geological Survey University of Kansas, Lawrence.
"The most striking differences between these drawings by Chinese children and those by children in other parts of the world, are apparent in brushwork, in color, and in the use of space."

Ouch—If you've noticed a patch on Orville Roberts' neck, his girl didn't bite him, his whiskers didn't grow too long, he merely woke up thirsty the other night. He got up, got a glass of water, drank the water, put the glass on the window sill, and went back to bed. The next morning due to natural forces (the sun shinning through the glass on his neck) he woke up burned. It all goes to show you that the early bird gets the worm while the late bird gets the burn.

Give a Little Whistle — Everyone
The United States Geological survey, with the co-operation of the Kansas Geological survey, has published a new topographic map, the Moscow quadrangle.
Survey Issues Map Of Moscow Area
The map, covering an area of about 14 by 18 miles in Grant, Haskell, Seward, and Stevens counties, Kansas, shows streams, lakes, roads, houses, towns, and railroads of these counties. The shape and elevation of the land surface are shown in detail by contours printed in brown.

The students all looked bewildered until she explained: she thought it was V-E Day, because it was the first time she'd heard the new whistle.

That means combat telephone wires must be laid down with every forward push. And communications crews must work continuously repairing the breaks in lines torn by tanks and amphibians and blasted by artillery and mortars.

Alumna in Service Get Promotions
Two graduates of the University department of journalism have received promotions in their military work, according to word received by Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairan of the department.
Cpl. Meriam A. Abele, '43, writes her new job in combat intelligence with the 3rd tactical air division headquarters at Key field, eridan, Mississippi.
Corporal Able, following her adduction from the University, was reporter on the Ottawa Daily Herb. In September, 1944, she joined a WAC and was sent to the Coffville air base where she retained until her recent transfer to avail field.
Miss Abele's job concerns the keeping of one of the huge situation maps in the war room of the public relations office. These large-scale maps of the battle areas are flattered on sliding panels and day day ranges in the various fronts are recorded on them. The maps are used by officers for daily orientation in the war's progress.
Corporal Abele is from Lawrence. Sarilea Sherman, 43, who has a civilian job with the AAF in Hawaii, has been promoted fromickam field to a position in theadjustant General's office at AAF headquarters in Honolulu.

tion, both students and faculty members will take part in a panel discussion of the fundamental policies of K. U. in regard to physical, mental, and social development of its students.
Four topics will be presented and discussed by student groups which have studied the problem and have a definite plan of action to offer. These will include a discussion of orientation of new students, civic responsibilities, training of leaders, and current trends in progressive universities.
Delegates to Sneak
As a summary, each delegate will be asked to state the two or three points which he feels have been most important in the conference, Miss Bohan said. The closing statement will be made by a student.

(continued from page one)
George Rhodes, former student and drum major at the University, gave a short performance of baton juggling and an act with fire batons. Concluding numbers by the band were "Onward Kansas" and the Alma Mater.
Two selections were played by the mass band consisting of the University band and the Topeka band. The selections were "Jericho Rhapsody" and "1812 Overture."
Next Saturday's rural meet with Missouri had no counterpart in the 1944 track season. Last year's only meeting between the Jayhawkers and the Tigers, besides the Big Six meet, was an indoor meet at Columbia in which the Tigers bowed to the Kansas cinder experts, 67-37.
Harvey Morrow, the lone Jay-awk entry in the pole vault this year won that event last year.
Rolland Hamilton, one of Canch Kaneh's milers in the current outdoor meet, won the mile at Missouri, and William Schell scored second.
The Jayhawk trackman have a score to settle with the Tigers for a thorough beating in an indoor dual meet at Columbia Feb. 17. Norval Jackson counted the only uncontested victory of the meet, running first in the 60-yard low hurdle.
Other firsts in the 1944 indoor meet were chalked up by Tom Scofield in high jump, James Richey in the 440-yard run, Whitson Godfrey in the 2-mile run, John Hawley in the 880-yard run, Frank Stannard in the low hurdles, and Robert Lillibridge, in the broad jump.

Horned Owls Forsake Dyche Museum Nest
By LOREN KING
The family of great horned owls which nested under the eaves of the Dyche Museum of Natural History has now departed, according to D. F. Hoffmeister, assistant professor of zoology.
A study made by research workers at the museum indicated that from March 12, when the young owls were hatched, until the last one left the nest about April 28, they had grown nearly 2/3 adult size and were capable of limited flight. During the month of incubation of the eggs the parent bird while on the nest was often surrounded by snow.

In the pole vault, Harvey Morrow tied with Furnish of Missouri for first place, and in the hurdle Dean Patterson ranked second.
At the 1944 Big Six track meet in Lincoln, Neb., Coach Kanehl's thin-clads had another successful encounter with the Missouri men. Coming out second in the meet, only 10 points below Iowa State, Kansas scored 24 points more than the Tigers.
Kansas took seven firsts in the conference contest while the Cyclones has only two, but the I-Staters scored heavily enough in seconds and thirds to build up their lead.
We see that Ivory Bird, Jayhawk letterman in 1944 enlisted in the Canadian army Wednesday. Bird, who played football for Kansas after his medical discharge from the United States Army, injured a shoulder in a practice session last fall and cracked to Coach Shenk.
"Oh, that's nothing; I'll be out for practice again in a day or two."

Politicos to Battle Three-way
B-29'sContinue All-Out Attack On Jap Islands
International News Service
Meanwhile Japanese reports said Allied forces "crossed a stream" and a heavy coastal battle is now raging on Okinawa island. Marines Near Naha
American ground forces set the stage for capture of the islands capital city, Naha. Sixth division marines moved to within a half mile of the city after bridging the Asa river estuary in the face of bitter Japanese resistance.
Three fleets of American E-29 superfortresses smashed at the Japanese homeland today in the continuation of the all-out strategic air offensive against Nippon's war industries and air installations.
About 50 Mariana - based bombers made the day's third assault, hitting the Miyazaki air field in the industrial cities, Miyakanojo and Nittagaharar on Kysushu, southernmost of the Japanese homeland islands.

Japs to Be Crushed Under B-29 Raids Doolittle Promises
London—(INS)—A promise that Japan will go down to defeat under the crushing impact of attacks by fleets of B-29 superfortresses 3,000 strong was headlined in the British press today.
Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle, commander of the U.S. eighth Army Air Force, told of plans to send more than 2,000 B-29's over Japan at a single time.
Doolittle said that if Japan continued to resist, that nation would feel the full weight of a bomber force greater than the 2,400 planes the eighth flung at Germany, according to a report in the London Evening Standard and, stressed Doo-little, they would be superforts.

An Editorial
Understanding Is Issue of Meet
Successful educators long have recognized that more cooperation and more actual progress can be achieved in schools and universities if there is a high degree of understanding between those who carry on the university's educational program and those who are there to learn. To further such understanding is the purpose of the student-faculty solidarity conference scheduled for next week by Mortar board and Sachem.
The trial conference to be given next week is merely a small scale example of similar conferences now held four times a year at the University of Michigan. Groups of students and faculty members have been chosen carefully by the sponsoring organizations to insure interest in the project.
The members of the trial conference will form panels to discuss problems pertinent to the University. Although all those attending the conference will join in each discussion, Mortar board and Sachem have assigned particular discussion topics to specific panels whose members will previously assemble all available information on their discussion topic.
If the first group shows real interest in the new project of faculty-student cooperation in working out effective programs for the University, more organizations may be encouraged to continue the conferences.
Next week constructive suggestions on University issues and problems can be analyzed intelligently. Discussion by both faculty members and students should bring all aspects of the issues under consideration; conclusions reached should be the best for all concerned. Both groups will better understand the problems of each other and will discover how those problems are related to the solution of each campus issue.

epidemic of "bangs," a new hairdress making the rounds, Helen Ramsey, Jolliffe hall, tried to make the big decision: should she follow the mode?
After several unsuccessful attempts to see how her new coiffure would look, she gave up and took an afternoon nap. During the big sleep, Helen's hair got a quick crew cut.
The guilty barber is still undiscovered, but Helen will now follow the style, at least until her hair grows out.
CORRECT FOR COMMENCEMENT IN 1860
This member of a Senior Class of that year is fashion-perfect for the occasion. Top-hats were sine-qua-non, and voluminous neckcloths muffled the spotless linen. Co-education was becoming fashionable, too.
That year, 1860, civil war was looming on the country's horizon. College campuses blazed with patriotism. Railway Express was ready, at the first summons, to put its services at the nation's command. Today, America is fighting a world-wide war. So, to help all concerned, please do three simple things with your 1945 home packages and baggage: Pack them securely—address clearly and adequately—avoid abbreviating state names.

Maggie Kalim, perturbed about the situation, put Laura in a box and took her to the veterinary to discover the little dog's feeble trouble.
Three saddened Corbinites learned that Laura's barking apparatus had been removed about three weeks ago.

42nd YEAR
Confab Planned For University on Personality
Social security through personality adapted for success in marriage, business, and society will be discussed at an all-University conference May 25 and 26.
Planned in order to bring before University students a phase of education which is not stressed through regular academic channels, the conference, leaders hope, will register student interest in personality study and improvement. If the conference proves valuable, it may be a foundation for additional work in personality development at the University. Will Last Two Days
The two days devoted to personality study will open Friday morning with an all-University convocation at which Robert G. Foster, author of the book "Marriage and Family Relationships" and director of the family life department at the Merrill-Palmer school in Detroit, will speak on "How to Make Marriage Work."
Stephens Representative Here
Speakers Friday afternoon will be Miss Marie P. Sealey of Rahway, New Jersey, and a representative of T.W.A. from Kansas City, Mo. Both will talk on the general subject, "Getting and Keeping a Job."
Stonehouse Representative Here
At the final session of the conference Saturday morning Miss Mauri Helda, chairman of the personality appearance program of Stephens college will speak on the "Do's and Don't of Manners and Grooming."
The conference is being planned by a committee named by Dean Paul B. Lawson and headed by Miss Edna Hill of the department of home economics. Those serving on the committee are Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, Margiss Marcet Anderson, Miss Ruth Hoover, Miss Lucille Aust, Prof. H. B. Pepinsky, Mrs. Evelyn S. Claassen, Donna Jean Nichols, Mary Olive Marshall, Betty Jo Evelyn, and Mary Morrill.
Baldwin Sends Art To Chancellor Malott
Nine posters by Japanese artists, sent from Melbourne, Australia, by Col Karl T. Baldwin, former head of the department of military science and tactics, have been received by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The posters which were found in a print shop in Manila include four original paintings in color which were evidently in the shop awaiting transfer to plates from which reproductions could be printed.
All but one of the posters is written in English. "They attempt to show that by collaborating and cooperating with the Japanese, the Filipinos will co-prosper," Colonel Baldwin writes.
The posters will be displayed by the design department on the third floor of Frank Strong hall. Later they will become a part of the K.U. collection of "War Moments."
Commons Burial Service Today
Madison, Wisc. — (INS) — Burial services will be conducted in Madison today for Prof. John R. Commons, a member of the University of Wisconsin faculty for 28 years, who died in Raleigh, North Carolina, last Friday. He was 82.
High Germans Not To Be Treated Friendly
Paris (INS)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that drastic measures had been set in motion to prevent captured Nazi and high German officers from being treated on a friendly basis.
General Eisenhower said:
"My attention has been directed by press reports to instances of senior United States officers treating Nazi and high German officials on a friendly enemy basis.
"Any such incidents have been a direct violation of my expressed and long standing orders."
Class Schedules Ready This Week
The schedules for the summer school sessions will be ready the last of this week, the summer session office reported today.

Mahoney Awarded Air Medal
Scholarships for 1,000 physical therapists are being offered to students with at least two years of college work by the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, Inc., the Foundation has announced
A guidance and counseling workshop summer session will be held for two days beginning July 2. Conferences and discussions will be held on the increasing role of the guidance and counseling programs in the educational programs today. W. T. Markham and Dolph Camp, supervisors of occupational information and guidance, will speak at the conference.
There is an acute shortage of physical therapists according to the foundation, because of the increasing number of servicemen in addition to patients suffering from infantile paralysis, and injuries as a result of industrial accidents. An additional 5,000 therapists are in demand, 1,500 short of the number now enlisted in the work.
The first students to receive scholarships will start school in July and will be finished by March 1946. They are available to graduates of accredited schools of nursing and colleges offering a B.S. degree in physical education, as well as to all men and women who have had 12 semester units in biology and basic science.
"Two Down and One to Go," a war department film, was shown to all members of the army unit this afternoon in the Military Science building, Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant of the R.O.T.C. at K.U., said today.
This motion picture, which will appear in theaters throughout the United States shortly, shows the strategy of the Allied high command in carrying on an all-out effort against Italy and Germany and a holding campaign against the Japanese during the past three years, Colonel McMorris said.
War Film is Shown To Army Unit Today
The foundation has set aside $1-267,600 for scholarships, teaching fellowships and general development of the field. Scholarships cover tuition, books, maintenance and transportation to schools. Five or more schools have been approved for the training and students are permitted to state their preference of these.
It also shows the set-up for reemployment of personnel not required for further combat duty in the Pacific area, he added.
Members of the faculty with sons in the service were invited to attend the showing of this special film.

Kansan Comments
Peace Planning Gives Students Chance to Help
We realize that a United Nations conference is underway at San Francisco. But we fail to realize that the events at San Francisco, combined with what will happen on the floor of the Senate when the results are considered, may determine the kind of a world in which we are to live.
The question which concerns all of us is this:
How can you and I play a part in shaping the course of events so that we will have a fighting chance to avoid the anguish and tragedy of another war?
One answer lies in the campaign to enroll students in the Americans United for World Organization, which will soon begin on the campus. This nationwide movement headed by Henry J Kaiser plans to enroll ten million members. Its purpose is to insure effective and responsible participation of America in the United Nations effort to establish lasting peace. Immediate objectives of Americans Unified are; win the war; make sure that the Senate carries out the will of our people; encourage free flow of trade; and fight bias, discrimination, and antidemocratic tendencies, which sow the seeds of war.
decisions, whether so. Few intelligent Americans take issue with such aims. The job now is to achieve a militant organization on this campus to support these objectives.
Effective action is imperative. Not since Civil War days has there been a time of greater need for prompt and realistic facing of issues. If we as part of the youth of the nation, who clearly understand the sorrow and disaster of modern warfare, support the Americans United for World Organization, we may be able
to do our share in the prevention of future warfare—R.W.
Emadee Gregory Will Give Recital
A senior recital in piano, the fifth in the series of senior recitals, will be given by Emadee Gregory, a pupil of Dean D. M. Swarthout, at 8 tonight, in Fraser theater.
Miss Gregory came to the University in 1943 from Lovington, Ill., and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Gregory of that city. Before coming to K. U. she was a student at James Millikin University where she was awarded a scholarship in piano under Jose Echaniz now on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music, and was awarded piano scholarships for the study in Chicago under Edward Collins and Mossiae Boguslawski.
At Millikin University she was a member of Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Iota, national music sorority.
Her sister, Ruth Gregory, now Mrs. Walter Caugerh, attended K. U. from 1932 to 1935 and was a student of piano under Dean Swarthout. She graduated in钢琴 in 1935 and in violin under Professor Waldem Geltch in 1935. Her mother was a student under Dean Swarthout while he was at Millikin University.
Her program on next Monday evening will feature works from Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Poulence and the opening movement of the Moszkowski Concerto with Dean Swarthout at the second piano.

Smooth Sailing
A railroad's roadbed has a lot to do with travel comfort. A well-built roadbed does away with annoying, sleep-disturbing bumps...like a boat breasting a choppy sea. It gives you "smooth sailing."
The kind of gravel used for roadbed ballast is an important factor. Union Pacific uses a special, sturdy type of crushed granite which stands up particularly well under wartime's heavily loaded freight and passenger trains. Then, too, it acts as a "cushion," resulting in more comfortable riding and less wear on locomotives and cars.
★ Listen to "YOUR AMERICA" radio program on Mutual nationwide network every Sunday afternoon. Consult your local newspaper for the time and station.
Thus, even the ballast used on the railroad's roadbed plays its part in the efficient, 'round-the-clock transportation of troops and essential battle-line freight over Union Pacific's Strategic Middle Route, uniting the East with the Pacific Coast.
★ ★ ★ ★
Future "smooth sailing" over life's highway can be assured by holding tight to the war bonds we now have . . . and, as an extra measure of economic protection, buying as many more as we can possibly afford.

Jim the Cop a Well-known Figure to K. U.Students for 21 Years
If you're in Lawrence for three minutes, four years, or a lifetime, one person you are sure to meet is Jim Messer. He stands at the intersection of 14th and Massachusetts, a whistle between clenched teeth, arms upraised, and twinkling eyes, behind a pair of glasses, darting from one side of the street to the other. "Hi, Jim," someone calls from a passing car and Jim puts his hand to his cap in a cheery greeting. A 7-year-old boy runs along the sidewalk. "Hi Jim," he trebles and Jim shouts back, "Hil!"
Just Call Him Jim
Jim—as he is known to all his friends, and that he says includes everyone—joined "the force" in Lawrence in 1924, after working as a farmer, a road supervisor, and deputy sheriff of Johnson County. During the first six months covering his beat in the river district, ne broke eight billy clubs' over the rebellious heads of street fighters.
"The public's a lot different now than it was then," Jim admits reluctantly.
Speeding Protocols
As the campus "cop" from 1930-1933, Jim kept the students down to the regulation 15 miles per with a shake of his finger and a broad smile.
Sneeding Professors
"But those speeding professors gave me trouble," he remembers.
There were no parking zones or stop signs on the Hill at that time and Jim assumes the credit for putting them there.
a steak fry with a group of Chi O's and Betas in an abandoned cornfield several miles out of town that turned into an unroarious night of "run sheep run" and "hide and seek," is one of Jim's favorite memories of campus life.
campus life.
Born and reared in Lawrence, Jim has vivid recollections of watching K.U. football games through a four foot high "peep hole" when the field was located where Lawrence Memorial high school now stands; ice skating on the Kaw river; and toboganing down the snow-covered mud of 14th street in the winter.
Born in Lawrence
Jim was born in Lawrence at 1339 Pennsylvania street, not far from the University's former football field which was on the corner where Liberty Memorial High school is situated.
"I saw the majority of the games played there and I could have shown you every knot hole in that old wood fence." Jim chuckles.
He lived for awhile on a 313-acre farm northwest of Olathe but later became supervisor and deputy sheriff of Johnson county. In 1924, he and his family returned to Lawrence and he joined the police force. He talks with pride of his five sons and one daughter; Ernest, 38, drill instructor at Ft. Riley; Carl, 36, assistant lieutenant of the fire department at Sunflower Ordnance works; Gerald, 32, Pleasant Grove; Alice, 30; Donald, 28, gunners mate in the Navy at Pearl Harbor; Harold, 17, who wants to enlist in the Marines before he is 18 years old in July.
Smile Is Free
Jim's philosophy of life is simple and sincere. He says "a smile doesn't cost anything and it may do a lot of good. I've taught my children that and they have found out that it is the truth. I speak to everybody and try to help them if I possibly can.

but not admit her to the Opera house. Miss Knox described Mr. Molotov as "pleasant and dignified, but not outstanding in appearance."
She said that the lower floor was packed with delegates of note, who were impossible to pick out. The session was described as very formal a speaker stepped to the platform, gave his speech, shook hands with the Commissar and left. Mr. Molotov spoke in Russian and had to be interrupted.
"Anthony Eden," she declared," is all that you have read of him. He was one of the most handsome men at the conference, and was distinguished from the rest by his carriage and appearance." Soong Americanized
Mr. T. Soong, whom she saw very close at hand, was completely Americanized with his dark rimmed glasses and business suit. He spoke English with fluency and seemed at ease and aware of his responsibility, vet nervous and always in a hurry
She stressed that "Mr. Molotov's departure does not at all mean that Russia has left the conference, for there are a number of important delegates still participating."
Miss Knox confirmed the report that that the Polish question is the most "talked about" matter, but that the attitude of the people the day she spent at the session were not as antagonistic.
Delegates Work Hard
"The delagates are working hard at their jobs, and realizing the importance of their positions, are using complete subtlety," she further added.

"There's no need for pressure as far as a campus drive is concerned." Dr. Allen continued, "because students and faculty at K. U. have enough intelligence to contribute wisely."
Faculty members have been contacted by letters from Dr. Allen, with war bond application blanks enclosed.
Dr. Alen is working with Irving Hill, Douglas county chairman. Plans for contacting students will be announced this week.

Kansan Comments Is Athletics Meant for Students? Only Two Games Here Next Year
Students have been expressing wonder at the football schedule for next fall. So far, only two games have been scheduled to be played in Lawrence: Iowa State on October 6, and Kansas State on November 17. In addition, there is an open date, October 13, on which a game will probably be played here.
The game with Denver, however will be played there again next fall Games with Oklahoma, Wichita University, Nebraska, and Marquette will be played in Norman, Wichita, Lincoln, and Milwaukee, respectively. Moreover, contests with Texas Christian and Missouri are scheduled to be played in Ruppert Stadium in Kansas City.
A quick look over the records of the past five years points out the big decrease in the number of home games for 1944 and 1945. In 1940, 1941, and 1943, four games were played in Memorial stadium; in 1942 five games were decided on home territory. Last year students saw only two games at the stadium, and watched the Washburn game at Haskell.
The athletic association seems to have good reasons for such a policy. It admits that the prime motive is the advantage of large gate receipts in the larger cities. The secretary of the association estimates that the receipts of the Missouri game, played in Kansas City last year, were from six to nine times greater than they would have been at Columbia. The Texas Christian game probably doubled what the amount would have been at either of the schools. The Office of Defense Transportation opposes games not being played on either campus, but the theory here is, if the people cannot come to the games, we must take the games to the people.
It would seem that the idea of athletics being for the students is out of date. Are intercollegiate contests now being held solely for their pocket-liming possibilities?
If wartime considerations can be held responsible for the policy now being followed, the last large question which arises is, will the athletic association be content to give up the big money after the war? The reasonable assumption is that it will not, especially in view of the new stadium being planned in Kansas City with the expressed purpose of luring college games there. Unless students voice their objections pretty
-T.M.
loudly, it appears that $600,000—the cost of Memorial stadium—will have been wasted, and "home games" will be things of the dear, dead past.
Lois Crozier to Speak At Y.W.C.A. Meeting
Lois Crozier, Topeka, regional secretary for the Y.W.C.A. will be on the campus to meet with University women Wednesday and Thursday.

F. R. Kenny Wins A.S.C.E. Award
Forest Robert Kenny, a former student in the department of civil engineering, has been granted the annual award of the Kansas section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The award, announced by G. W. Bradshaw, student chapter advisor, was presented at the monthly meeting of the Kansas section at a dinner in Topeka Friday night.
Kenny, an ensign in the Seabees somewhere in the Pacific, enrolled at the University in the Navy program in the fall of 1942 and left in November of 1944, having earned credits which made him eligible for graduation in June of this year.
The first annual Law banquet in honor of "Uncle Jimmy" Green was held at the University in 1905.
Rock Chalk Talk
Sir Galahad—Never let it be said that Elton Hoff, Beta, isn't a perfect little gentleman when it comes to aiding damsels in distress. When fellow classmate Sarah Jane Worsley had to have nutrition for her mosquitoes (which are raised from mere infants in class), Elton gallantly offered a tender morsel in the form of one Hoff arm. However, after one bite, the little fella' found Elton so sweet that he just couldn't stay away. Which might explain welty wittle Elton Hoff.

She didn't Karo — Betty Bixby,
He's a vicious circle--Rumor has it that the Union fountain would have sunk to bankruptcy long ago if it hadn't been for Earl "Round Man" Stanton, Fiji, and perpetual purchaser of that famous double-dip ice-cream cone of his.
The original crab apple—Just as Bob Buechel was in the middle of one of his better descriptions of what crabtrees would do for the campus, at the meeting of the senior class Friday, "Pinky" Schirk nearly upset the apple cart with his pertinent query, "And what commercial value will the apples have, please?" Seems that "Pinky's" post-diploma plans include a little stand on some street corner, where he will be known as "Apple Pinky."
The Moore, the merrier—In American Government class, Jean Moore nearly caused a minor riot when during a discussion that brought in the remark, "You can't serve two masters." Moore piped up with "But my father's married, and he has a business."

Battenfeld Wins Tight Game from Phi Delt's
Battenfeld, the Blanks, Sigma Chi's, Kappa Sig's, Beta's and the Sigma Nu's came out on top in the six intramural softball games played Thursday.
The Battenfeld-Phi Delt game was a tight one, with Tom Saffel pitching for Battenfeld, allowing the losers only three runs to the winners' 4. Aylward knocked a home run for the Phi Delt's. Ball pitched for the losers.
Bringing in nine runs in the first inning and seven in the second, the Blanks overwhelmed Pi Kappa Alpha 16-0. Palmer pitched for the winners.
The Sigma Chi's held the Phi Gam's to a no-run game while they run up 7 scores. Williams pitched for the winners; Hargis, McVey, and Bayles hurdled for the Phi Gams.
Scoring six runs in the fifth inning, the Beta's defeated Duke's Mixture 8 to 4. Schwanzle pitched for the Beta's, and Close and Graham were on the mound for the Mixture.

PARTIES ANNOUNCE—
(continued from page one) W.I.G.S.-Pachacamac parties stated the following three-point platform:
1. Our candidates will wholeheartedly encourage immediate progressive reforms in the election system, assuring a fair representation of all groups on the campus; that is, veteran, navy, civilian, Negro, Independent, and Greek students.
2. Our candidates will cooperate with any plan, either new or now in operation, irrespective of party or organization origin, that is for the student benefit; specifically, the activity point system, the student teacher evaluation poll, quiz files in the library, a student banking system, "The Last Resort", etc.
3. We advocate student initiative in University affairs as displayed in Sachem-Mortar Board Conference for faculty-student solidarity, and will support and encourage similar plans in the future.
Coach A. M. "Mike" Michalske said before the game that might be hickofs but that the ball would be played to four downs and if the required yardage were not made the ball would change hands on the spot.
The following platform has been announced by Mary Morrill, president, the Progressive Women's Cooperative League:
1. Strive to make every University organization and activity effective by diffusing leadership among more individuals through means as a point system.
Spring Practice
The practice game at the end of the Cyclones' spring football drill was conducted a little bit differently from the one here. In the intra-squad game played Saturday after the Iowa State-Iowa Seahawk dual track and field meet, there was no punting.
2. Promote better and more conveniently located living conditions for Negro students.
3. Work for closer cooperation between administration and students with more active participation of students on faculty committees.
5. Study the interests of returning veterans and discover how those who have been away from schools for some time can be drawn into collegiate circles.
4. Promote an international feeling on the campus, thus bringing about a closer association among students of different nationalities.
6. Assume a responsibility for the activation of a Student check casing agency, the bill for which has been passed by the All Student Council.
7. Promote a constructive council program for the efficient administration of those duties which, although clearly within the council's power, have been neglected in the past.

Mrs. Kramer said that she was fairly well prepared for our customs after knowing American soldiers stationed in Australia. The soldiers get so excited over a good home cooked meal, and one of the first things they did after being introduced to an Australian was to show pictures of loved ones at home.
A big percentage of the American soldiers in Australia have expressed a desire to go back after the war, she said. They see great possibilities and opportunities in Australia, which has an area of 52 thousand square miles and a population the size of that of New York.

Hankins to Lecture On 'Inferno' Tonight
An illustrated lecture, entitled "Dante's Inferno," will be given Prof. John E. Hankins in Fraser theater at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
ater at 1:00 p.m.
The lecture will be illustrated with slides from engravings of the French artist, Gustave Dore.
The Inferno is part of Dante's Divine Comedy which is a dream of a journey through the next world divided into three divisions of Hell, purgatory, and paradise.
College women seen wearing gold tassels at Kansas State April 27 were the newly elected members of Mortar Board.
soldiers showered the women with candy, flowers, and other gifts, something an Australian man never does unless he is practically engaged. Mrs. Kramer thinks that it is a fine custom and the Australian women like it a lot.
There is no comparison between college life in the two countries. Social life rather than academic is stressed more in the United States. Australian colleges have no sororities or fraternities, which she believes, are the reason for the lack of social life there. Australian girls don't date until they are 17 or 18 years old.
See American Movies
After seeing American movies in Australia, Mrs. Kramer said she had the impression that all Americans were a type of people who bragged about their country and that they were artificial as shown in the Hollywood version. But after arriving in America and visiting several large cities, she said she realized that Americans don't brag; they are just enthusiastic about everything.

ASC Designates Voting Districts For Tomorrow
University men and women who are in schools with too small enrollments to have separate representatives to the All-Student Council, will vote in other assigned districts in Thursday's general election. Mary Breed, A.S.C. elections committee chairman, said today.
These arrangements were made at the A.S.C. meeting last night, because the A.S.C. constitution prohibits mep voting for women and women voting for men for A.S.C. representatives.
The 11 women in the School of Engineering and the seven women in the School of Medicine will vote with the women in District III (Fine Arts, Education, Business, and Pharmacy).
The 94 men in Division III who are not entitled to a separate representative will vote with the men in Division II (the School of Engineering and Architecture).
Polls will be open from 7:30 a.m.
until 6 p.m. Thursday.

Coast Guard Officer To Interview Students
Lt. (jg) Mable E. Martin, personnel procurement officer stationed at St. Louis, will be at the University May 25 to interview 17-year-old male students for enrollment in the Coast Guard Academy Preparatory school, Groton, Connecticut.
In a letter to L. C. Woodruff, registrar, Lieutenant Martin said that she would discuss the requirements, opportunities, and advantages of enlisting for the preparatory school course which will convene in August for one year.
Upon completion of the preparatory course a person is qualified for the cadet examination in May, 1946, for entrance into the regular Coast Guard academy, Lieutenant Martin stated.
Graduates from the academy four-year course receive the bachelor of science degree in engineering and are commissioned ensigns in the coast guard. This is the only branch of the armed forces selecting its cadets through competitive examinations rather than by congressional appointments, Lieutenant Martin said
Textile designs by four students in the design department have been purchased by a St. Louis manufacturing company, Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department announced today.
Interested 17-year-old male students may make appointments at the registrar's office in Frank Strong hall with Los Klock.

The designs were made by Shirley Crawford, Fine Arts junior, Jean Saffell, Fine Arts senior, Joyce Hartwell, Fine Arts junior, and Marjorie Pollock, Fine Arts junior.
Many textile patterns purchased from K. U. Design students were used in this spring's dresses made by the concern.
SupremeHeadquarters Discloses Doenitz Is Prisoner of War
Paris—(INS)–Disclosing officially that Karl Doenitz is a legal prisoner of war, although his services are being used in the administration of Germany, Supreme Headquarters today outlined detailed duties of an American military government which will smash militarism and wipe out Nazism.
The AMG setup was described in detail by Lt. Gen. Lucius Clay, deputy military governor, in Germany for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhour. We are going to take a firm realistic policy, General Clay said. We are going to establish a military government in Germany and the Germans are going to know it's a military government.

Trade barriers will have to be freed and economic problems of all nations met if we are to avoid another war. This was the opinion of the community forum meeting concerning "Problems Emerging from the San Francisco Conference" in the Liberty Memorial high school last night.
It was agreed that the United States would have to adopt friendly relations with Russia, said Prof. H. B. Chubb, state and local chairman of Americans United for World Organization which sponsored the meeting.
Short constructive arguments were presented by Professor Chubb on political questions and by Prof. Leslie L. Waters on economic questions arising from the conference.
Mrs. Mildred LeSuer explained the basic idea behind world organization. After panel discussion the meeting was opened to the audience for questions and opinions. Rev. Theodore H. Aszman presided.

of war.
Capt. Bridgeman is making a 3-months lecture tour of the United States and Canada speaking on his experiences in the Burma campaign, as captain of the 15th Punjab regiment of the Indian army.
Mr. Bridgeman feels that the Japanese will sue for peace shortly after they begin to feel the entire weight of allied might against them. Morale Will Break in Japan
"There will be a breakdown of morale in the Jap home land and the entire war machine will collapse," he predicted.
Speaking of the famous Japanese "suicide" soldiers he said, "This personal zeal to die is not bravery but pure fanaticism and it is an aid to us."
He explained that the Japanese recognize no such thing as a prisoner
"If a Japanese falls in a mission, or realizes that capture is imminent, the only honorable thing he knows to do is to take his own life. The few who have been taken alive usually have been so badly wounded that suicide was a physical impossibility," he said. "In the Burma theater Japanese propaganda was continued to grow love."

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 16, 1945
Kansan Comments Election Thursday Will Be Success Only If Majority of Students Vote
At least a few people on this campus are of the opinion that tomorrow is a crucial day in campus history. It might very well be. The fact is, however, that the election will decide little or nothing, if it turns out to be the expression of the opinions of a very few hundred students. A good turnout, on the other hand, would make evident to those elected the interest which there is bound to be, in spite of professed disinterest, in student government.
There has been some question concerning the province of student government. That province is very real, and in the most restricted times, wide. The cynics and pessimists who protest that our All-Student council does nothing, and can do nothing, would be very surprised, indeed, if they should awake to find it abolished. Its influence is felt in every walk of University life; the influence is none the less real because it is not recognized.
The only way that the province of student government can be widened is increased interest and increased activity on the part of competent, far-seeing, and judicious leaders. Such leaders are to be found, to a greater or lesser extent, on the slates of candidates prepared by all factions for this election. Whatever may be wrong can be corrected only by student interest in the elected representatives, by contact with those representatives, and expression of opinion to those representatives.
The newly organized Independent movement on the campus is, to be sure, an influential faction. The Independent students cannot, however, be assured of proportional representation to the council on the basis of members enrolled, but must depend upon the voting majority. The Greek letter societies, as well, cannot be represented according to house memberships, but must produce the votes.
University students are, presumably, above the average in intelligence and in civic spirit and interest. perosity when in the last three elec It does not speak well for our sutions, a far smaller proportion of us took the trouble to vote than was true in state and national elections—from whose voters the "average" comes.

portance of our problems is not the excuse. The point is that citizenship starts early, and at home.
Therefore, the urge should not be to "vote this," or "vote that" or (this year) "vote the other," but merely to be sure to VOTE!

Rock Chalk Talk
By CATHY PILLAR
Sleep-talkers — People are amusing, especially people who talk in their sleep. Pi Phi's recently tried an old trick, putting Mary Gayle Marsh's hand in a pan of water. They told her she was in swimming and asked her if Oliver Samuels, her Phil Delt, was there, too. "No," said Mary Gayle. "Oliver isn't here yet." Was she getting tanned, they wanted to know "No, I don't tan very well, and Oliver only gets red."
Joan Woodward also amused sisters one night when she sat straight up in bed and demanded of Eleanor Pack that she give her some of "that bitter pop corn."
At the Phi Delt house Jim Burwell was quoted as saying in his leem "Say, isn't she a nifty number?拜, go on now—beat it!"
Just a little "billed" up. — Tuka Wright, Theta, recently received an invitation to a midshipman's ball in Chilea. She sat right down and in great excitement wrote out an affirms reply. But the boy was just a little startled when he got the

Buggy?—When the Delta Gammas sent Dainty Small and Bobby Thiele over to the Military Science building to get their anchor light from the Pan-Hell dance, they didn't know what they were doing. Ardent students of entomology, the twosome spent more than a few minutes catching bugs. Proud of their prize insects, both of them rushed home—minus the sign!

Word Received From Lt. Tompkins
Lieutenant Tompkins, a Phi Beta Kappa while at the University, wrote that Guerilla bands have been a big help in taking Pacific islands but are going to be a post war problem, "doing more looting, in some instances, than the Japs."
The Graduate Magazine reached him aboard ship in the Philippine islands area and was the next best thing to a letter from home, Lieutenant Tompkins informed the alumni secretary.

ALLIES---discouraging mass suicides because they were so depleting the Japanese strength."

Allies Want Hirohito Alive
According to Capt. Bridgeman, the Japanese emperor is much more valuable to the Allies alive than dead. Because Allied generals feel that Hirohito's death would unite the Japanese, they have ordered the bombing of his palace to cease. ...
Asked if the Chinese would be able to carry much of the burden of the war he replied, "Everyone realizes that the Chinese are very tired and not unified. We must expect to bear the brunt of almost all the fighting."
"In my opinion, the Russians will get into the war," he said. He added that "Russia's interest in the Far East is naturally great and I'm sure that the Allies will receive all the material aid that she can give them and quite possibly she will contribute actual manpower."
Burma Is Greatest Victory
"The Burma campaign represents the greatest allied victory against the Japs so far," he said.
"The Burmese hate the Japs," he said. "As our army pushed the Japs back, the welcome we received from the natives was amazing and as soon as we arrived the native men were rushing to headquarters to volunteer to fight with the allies."
Captain Bridgeman owns a tea plantation in India and had spent some time there before the war. It was here that he learned to speak the native dialects and became acquainted with the country.
Before being sent to Burma he participated in the early North African campaigns and was stationed for 6 months on the Russian-Prussian front.

Flames Destroy Manufacturing Area in Nagoya
International News Service
Seven million pounds of incendiary bombs were rained down on Nagoya in the second massive super-fortress raid on that city within four days and airmen who participated said today that the results probably were more devastating than in the earlier strike.
While the nation awaited official word on results of the pre-dawn assault by upward of 500 Marianas-based B-29s, returning crewmen said they unloaded their fire bombs from 10,000 to 12,000 feet altitude, watching the incediaries turn the target area into a sea of flames.
In the 16-square-mile target area was the Mitsubishi aircraft factory as well as the industrial city's important water front sector.
On Okinawa meanwhile, the battle raged for possession of Shuri and Yonabaru, main stay of the Japanese defense line. Increasing in fury the fight was revealed already to have cost the United States 10th army 20,950 in dead, wounded and missing through Tuesday.
Topeka (INS)—The William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas will offer courses in all subjects related to journalism including radio and motion picture technique if plans begin here today are carried out.
Security Is Greatest Desire, Crosier Says
Security is the one thing that people are looking for in the world today, Lois Crozier, Rocky Mountain regional secretary of the W.Y.C.A., said at the all membership meeting yesterday afternoon. "It is inner security that is the answer to the problem of this human search," she said.
The foundation planning for establishment of the school will hold a meeting here this afternoon with Henry Allen presiding.
Miss Crozier, who spoke on "Charm on the Inside," was introduced by Lonnie Kelley, president of Y.W.C. A., in the Men's Lounge of the Memorial Union building. At the business meeting it was decided that the last meeting of the year will be June 10 when officers will be installed. An informal discussion on the Estes Park Summer conference was held after the talk and refreshments were served.
Miss Crozier also stressed that the best answer for the need of security is a sense of belonging in the group, this being the cause for sororities and fraternities.
Journalism to Include Movie Technique
"We are limited in our capacities by being tied to the external world and the egocentricities within ourselves," she explained. "We must all find our own inner security by finding out about ourselves and our various complexes and sense of humor."

Karl Koerper To Be Speaker At Annual Kansan Board Dinner
Karl Koeper, '22, radio consultant for OWI for Missouri, will be the principal speaker at the annual Kanan Board dinner to be held May 30 at the Colonial tea room, Dolores Sulzman, board chairman announced today.
Mr. Koerper, a graduate of the journalism department, is one of the five representatives of the radio broadcasting industry who, together with five representatives of journalism schools, make up the newly organized National Council on Radio Journalism. This council is setting up college standards for the training of radio specialists in news and other presentations.
Rain Doesn't Dampen Response At Concert
At the departmental dinner honorary and achievement awards will be presented to Kansan staff members who have made outstanding contributions to the Kansan and the University this year.
In spite of the gloom of a rainy night Katharine Kufahl, pianist, received an enthusiastic response from a fair sized audience in her senior recital presented last night in Fraser theater.
Miss Kufah wore a gown of white mousseline do soie, with three-quarter length sleeves and a wide collar of lace.
Her initial selection, the BachHowe "Sheep May Safely Graze" and the "Cuckoo" (Daquin) were especially popular with the audience. "Ballet of the Happy Spirits" (Gluck-Friedman) was an interesting selection in light tones.
Nancy Teichgraber, Ruth Russell, Margaret Ott, and Mary Margaret Smith were ushers for the recital. Members of Chi Omega sorority and Mu Phi Epsilon, of which Miss Kufahl is a member, attended the recital as groups.

Erwin Awarded Wm. A. White $300 Fellowship
Rosalie Erwin, college junior, has been awarded the $300 William Allen White Memorial Fellowship, Dean J. H. Nelson, chairman of the aids and awards committee announced today.
Bob Bellamy Killed In Action on Okinawa
Lt. Robert Bellamy, former drum major of the K. U. band and winner of a national baton twirling contest, was killed in action with the marines on Okinawa.
She was given the award because "in her capacity as president of the Student Religious Council, and by her personal attitude, spirit, and leadership in this position" she had done most toward meeting the requirements for receiving the award, The Rev. Edwin F. Price, chairman of the judging committee said.
Lieutenant Bellamy was a student in the School of Pharmacy from 1941 to 1943. He was a leader in campus activities and interested in student affairs.
He was active in Y. M. C. A. work, was intramural diving champion, a freshman councillor, and a member of Pershing Riffles, an R. O. T. C. unit. He was also treasurer of Phi Psi.
Peck Chooses Jayhawk Queen 'On Location'
Made available for the first time to the University by the Hillel Foundation, the award will be made annually to the junior student who does most to promote inter-faith anity on the campus, in the judgment of the faculty committee.
Word of Lieutenant Bellamy's death was received at the Phi Kappa Psi house yesterday morning when Kenneth Bellamy, brother of the marine officer, called from Philadelphia to deliver the news. Later in the day a telegram from Lt. Bellamy's parents at Colby also reported the death.
Gregory Peck, Hollywood star has chosen the 1945 Jayhawker queen, having judged the 15 pictures while on location, according to a wire received by Mary Morrill, editor of the magazine.
One of the most important musical events of the calendar year at the University is scheduled for 8 p.m. next Monday when the University A Cappella choir, under the leadership of Dean D. M. Swarthout, presents its only concert of the season.
Mr. Peck told Miss Morrill that judging from the pictures he saw, K. U. must have the most beautiful women in the world, and that choosing the queen was a "grim task." He is working on "The Yearling" set in Florida, and the pictures were sent there.
The name of the queen will not be disclosed until the commencement issue of the magazine is published, however, Miss Morrill added.
The organization, consisting this year of 86 selected voices, under Dean Swarthout's direction, has won wide-spread recognition as one of the finest singing groups of the country. It has been honored three times in recent years by being asked to appear with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, and on one occasion was featured as a solo group with this important organization. Until transportation facilities became so difficult the choir appeared each season in concerts at Kansas City and often at other nearby cities.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary speaking from the floor in a discussion following the round table session, reported that there are 7,000
A Cappella Choir To Give Concert

(continued to page two)
Professor Axe said that 70 veterans under the jurisdiction of the Veterans Administration already are taking work at the University and about 50 per cent of them are married with the result that their demand for apartments and houses already are proving difficult to meet. Ellsworth Presents Facts
The program was presented in the form of a round table discussion directed by R. Edwin Browne, University director of publicity; Prof. Leonard Axe, director of the veterans service bureau; and Registrar Laurence C. Woodruff, chairman of the veterans advisory committee.
K.U. Housing For Veterans May Be Early Problem, Staff Members Say
A University enrollment of possibly 6,000 and an acute housing problem at the end of the war with Japan was the prediction made yesterday at the luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce by three University staff members.
University graduates and former students in the armed forces, and that 2.000 of that number were enrolled in the University when they left for the service, of whom 85 percent have replied to a questionnaire sent them that they intend to resume their studies at the University after the war.
The audience of business men was told that in all profession the number of veterans will ill attend the University under go programs will be limited he number the city of I can accommodate.
Program Based on Equity
The speakers explained that the University has a program for the handling of veterans which is based on the philosophy that as little distinction as possible will be made between the veteran and the regular civilian students. Experience thus far has shown that the veterans fit into the regular school nite and become easily adjusted to becoming (continued to page four)

Jap Fascists Out
New York, (INS) — Formal steps were taken by Premier Kantaro Suroki today to dissolve the Imperial Rule Assistance association, Japan's Fascist party, and will convert it to an instrument of mobilization of the civilian volunteer corps for defense of the Japanese homeland.
American diplomats speculated to-day as to whether such a move was the beginning of a peace feeler or one to placate Russia.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 17, 1945
Kansan Comments Can World Safely Have Optimism Over San Francisco Conference?
22—Can World Safety edit. —The optimistic faith of the world now rests in San Francisco. The representatives of the nations of the world are meeting there with the avowed purpose of setting up a world community to insure peace. We wonder whether the world has a right to its present optimism. We question the results of the dissensions present in the conference.
With the support of (actually under the pressure of) the South American republics, the United States brought about the admission of Argentina to the conference. This was done in the furthering of a western hemisphere policy which is basically imperialistic. It also has been pointed out that Argentina may still be the seat of fascism in the Americas. Argentina declared war on the Axis at a time suspiciously close to the deadlift for admission to the Conference.
The Moscow Polish government has been denied admission. This was done because of a feeling that it does not really represent the people of Poland. But this is begging the question. We may as well face the fact openly now that a number of the small Balto-Slavic states will be under Russian domination after the war; and certainly the denial of faith in Russia now will not prevent that from happening.
The future of the British Empire is a question which has not yet been brought entirely out of the dark. The problem is whether a world community can operate effectively with cliques of nations within it, and whether imperialism shall remain as
an economic system. This may not be faced openly at the Conference, but it will have to be dealt with in the near future.
Are the delegates to the Conference really there to do what they say they are—or are they still playing at international politics and the survival of the fittest nations? Certainly, as we can see from the past, the latter will get us nowhere. There is even the possibility—and this should be a sore spot to all Americans—that a member of the American delegation is treading in the footsteps of World War I's Senator Lodge.
It is clear that a breakdown in policy must occur somewhere. If not, we gain nothing. But where? When?—N.W.
Sunshine Returns
Although the rain seemingly has stopped, the question of floods still is pertinent.
The Kaw river was expected to overflow this morning between Lawrence and Kansas City and its crest will not be reached until tonight. The Big Blue and Platte rivers last night were rising rapidly and residents were cautioned that floods might result.

Moffett Leads Rugged Life Battling Off Troubles in Hospital
(After three weeks in the University hospital battling bronchial pneumonia, Charles Moffett, varsity football and basketball player, now has recovered. At this time he can see the humorous side of his plight. This article, written after his long sick-bed siege, is presented "all in fun." Moffett says, because the excellent medical care he received was the only thing which brought his rapid recovery—The editor).
Have you ever thought of the pleasant (?) situation of lying in a bed for weeks with four walls with little Jayhawks on them staring down at you as though you resembled an ancient museum piece? No—well don't, because the thought becomes disgustingly real upon entering the hospital.
After being tossed into a bed, the first three days are spent sleeping, with an occasional display of life at meal times. Having caught up on your neglected beauty sleep, the room you are held in-in-er-ah-rather convalescing in—begins to become very depressing. On the wall in front of you are 15 supposedly birds or Jayhawks looking out of one eye as if to say, "Don't look that way at us, bub, you don't look so human, either." You wonder what they mean by that.
Also in the room are three doors at which you stare for hours. There's the door to the hall, the door to the er-ah-uh—and then there's the closet door.
The monotony of the day is broken though by the radio. So you listen to such soap operas as "John's cousin's step-brother's other wife" or "Why mothers-in-law cause trouble." These continue until late afternoon when the great Dick Tracy, "Hop" Harrigan, etc., all come forth to face the dangers of the underworld. Then in the evening when the good programs are scheduled, some joker in the neighborhood plugs in his newly-invented electric dandelion digger and all that comes from the radio are loud br-br-br-brack sounds that might come from the Bronx as some "bum from Brooklyn" walks by.
As long as the radio won't work you decide to read some magazines only to find you read everything available the last time you were "in."
One nice thing about a hospital, however, is the regularity of everything.
Promptly at 7 a.m. every morning some sweet nurse (you think she must be sweet, but can't pry an eye open fast enough to see) comes in with a cheery "good morning" and pokes a thermometer $53\frac{1}{4}$ inches down your throat and leaves. So you drop off to sleep again with your mouth wide open and the thermometer slowly disappearing from sight. In a few minutes, however, back comes the nurse and frantically grabs the last quarter-inch of the vanishing thermometer. After a tug on your arm that threatens to leave you with one arm longer than the other, she takes your pulse, and if by this time you've managed to open one blood-shut eye your pulse rate jumps to a dangerously high point because she's not bad, not bad at all! Maybe she looks ever better with both eyes open.
Breakfast is served at 7:30 and by this time you are fairly convinced that another day has begun. Still sleepy, as proven by the fact that you nearly drowned three times in your oatmeal because you couldn't hold your head up, you decide to go back to sleep.
After snoozing away for about an hour, you suddenly become aware of several people in the room, with bright lights and prongs, knives and other vicious looking instruments staring you in the face. And before you know what you're saying, you've confessed to cheating on three exams, two paintings of Jimmy Green, picking campus flowers and walking on the grass, and several other crimes.
You practically faint with relief to learn that it is not Dean Lawson, the Chancellor, and other University officials in the room, but only the doctors making their daily morning rounds to see what your chances are for survival, and also to make a prediction on how many weeks before you can be paroled-er-uh -rather dismissed.
It's too bad that those court terms slip in, but then you remember no other room has bars over the doors and windows. You really don't mean to give the impression, either, that you have been in here a long time, but not many people come in with a little head cold and celebrate two birthday anniversary before (continued to page four)

Twelve Jayhawker Track Men to Go To Lincoln for 17th Big Six Meet
Twelve Jayhawk cinder men will compete in the 17th annual Big Six track and field meet at Lincoln, Nebraska Saturday.
The Kansas field and track men will compete against two teams that it has not previously met this year on outdoor tracks; Iowa State, and Kansas State. The Iowa Team team won an indoor meet in Kansas City, March 4, at which Kansas State and Oklahoma were not represented.
Coach Ray Kanehl reported today that his entries in the conference meet will be much the same as for the Nebraska-Kansas dual meet here May 12 and the dual meet with Missouri the following Saturday. Desh Chan Chosen
In the 100-yard dash he has entered Kenneth Danneberg. Owen Peck, and Ernie Bauer, with Danneberg and Peck also running the 220. Lynn Leigh is the single entry in the 440, and Henry Raab in the 880. The Kansas miler, Richard Hudson, will compete in the distance runs, the mile and the two-mile, with James Thomas also in the latter.
Norval Jackson and Jim Sargent are entered in the high hurdle, and Jackson in the now barrier race.
In the weight department, Leroy Robison and Bauer are slated to handle the shot and the discus. Robison and Bauer will be joined by A. L. Chase in the javelin. Five Selected for the Jumps
17. Selected for the Jump
Sargent and Robison will do the high jumping and Danneberg, Peck, and Leigh will broad jump.
The mile relay team shows a change, Rolland Hamilton replacing John Stites. Running with him will be John Jackson, Leigh, and Danneberg.
Coach Elmer Schaake will take the team to Lincoln, because Kanehl will be leaving tonight for the Cornhusker capital to attend a coaches meeting tomorrow.

they get out.
After lunch each day, a nurse comes in and pulls down the blind, turns off your light and radio, rolls down your bed and shuts the door leaving you the impression that you are to go to sleep for an hour. But, instead of waking up at one o'clock you snore on until 3 p.m. when another nurse comes in with a thermometer which soon begins its inevitable journey to your tonsil's. However, the heroine nurse again rushes back in time to prevent the loss of a valuable thermometer. You are lying on your stomach when the nurse decides to roll up your bed so if your back doesn't get broken you wish it had, because you will never be able to walk straight again
The rest of the day is spent about the time except for a mid-afternoon meal that they call evening dinner. But that's not so bad, because your food has just the right amount of time to digest before they put you to bed with the chickens.
While reading you fall asleep and at 9 p.m. a nurse wakes you up and tells you it is time to go to bed. Gee, thanks!
Of course, that 3-hour siesta you had in the afternoon leaves you completely wide awake now so you lie there in the darkness thinking about the day you may get "sprung" from here.
Even in the darkness you can see those little Jayhawkers on the wall staring, staring, staring. Oh-yawn-hm-m-kind of sleepy after all . . . wonder what civilizaton is doing these days . . . snz-z-z- . . . wish somebody would knock out that "-!---$-" street light so a sick man could sleep . . . snz-z-z- . . . wonder if I'm getting "stir" crazy . . . 15 staring Jayhawkers . . . snz-z-z-
PT 10 Wins Title;
PT 6 Second Place
In Swimming Meet
PT 10 came from behind yester day to win the A bracket V-12 intramural swimming tournament with 17 points. Runner up was PT 6 with 14.
PT 6, leader in the meet until yesterday's competition, won the first event in the second half the 600-foot free style medley relay. William Widder, swimming the first lap, 100 feet, Joseph Rocks, swimming 200 feet, and Dan Chase, who swam 300 feet, won the relay for PT 6 in the time of 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
The team from PT 10. Lawrence Lamb, Homer Hoover, and Harold Phelps, rated second, clocking 2 minutes 35 seconds. The PT 8 relay team and diving entry forfeited by not showing up for the competition. PT 10 Overcomes PT 6 Lead
Winning first and second in the diving contest netted PT 10 enough points to overcome the PT 6 lead in other events. Harold Phelps took the top honors with a score of 90 points on his four dives, and Fred Daneke took second with 67.1 points. Lewis Stong of PT 6 placed third with 63.2, and William Frohoff, also of PT 6 was fourth with 50.9 points. In addition to the required swan, jackknife and back dives, Phelps did the back flip tuck; Daneke, the $1\frac{1}{2}$ flip; Stong, the straight cutaway, and Frohoff, the back flip. The bracket B, tournament comprising entries from PT's 5, 7, and 9, will be staged Monday and Wednesday of next week.
Services Held for Curtis Hesse, Wamego
Funeral services were held in Bryan, Texas, May 13 for Curtis J. Hess, 39, curator of the Museum of Texas A & M College, whose death followed recurring heart attacks. The body was shipped to Wamego, home of the Hesse family.
Mr. Hesse is survived by his mother, Mrs.C. V Hese and a brother, C. G. Hese, both of Lawrence.
Until 1929 Mr. Hesse was connected with the Museum of Paleontology at the University of Kansas. He received his B. A. degree here in 1928 and his M. A. degree from the University of California in 1933
The high percentage of officer talent furnished by athletes and coaches seems to establish the fact that there is no finer preparation for war where than intercollegiate athletics. Its premium on quick thinking, strength, endurance and the indomitable competitive spirit have become the trade mark of the American athlete anywhere.
Athletes Become Officers
This tribute to college athletics was suggested by a recent survey of several hundred former Oklahoma University letterman which showed that 91.5 per cent of them were officers, and 77.7 per cent commissioned officers.

Big Six Outdoor Meets
FRIDAY - SATURDAY
GENE AUTRY in "RED RIVER VALLEY"
In the 1944 outdoor Big Six track meet the Jayhawkers made the best showing in seven years. Although the meet went to the Iowa State Cyclones the Kansas chinderne came in with a strong second. The Jayhawk thinclads won seven firsts in the meet to Iowa State's two, but a smaller squad limited the number of second and third place winners, giving the Cyclones the edge.
The points were awarded on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis and the Iowans scored heavily in the also-ran department, totaling 67 to the Jayhawk mark of $56\%$.
hawk made Oklahoma finished third, Missouri fourth, and then Nebraska and Kansas State in that order.
The meet was the climax of a great season, the first one under the direction of Coach Ray Kanehl who formally turned out championship teams at Wichita East High school. Cellar Dwellers in '43

"THE GREAT MIKE"
The season before, Coach Henry Shenk, now head football mentor, took only four men to the Big Six meet at Lincoln but managed to salvage one first place. Tom Scoffield the high jump with a height of 6 feet $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch. Kansas finished at the bottom of the conference that year.
Delving even further into the past we find the Nebraska Cornhuskers winning the 1942 Big Six outdoor track title. Starring Harold Hunt, who cleared the bar on the pote vault at 14 feet 5-8 inches, the Nebraska cinder men amassed a total of seven first places. Kansas State finished second in the meet, and Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas filled out the list in the order named. Cornhuskers Keep the Title
The Nebraskans started a winning streak at the 1939 Big Six competition when they won the meet, that year staged at Ames, Iowa, with a score of 56 9 / 10 points. Bob Stoland, Don Bird, and Ray Harris were Jaya-hawk stars on the track and field that day. Kansas tied with Missouri for fourth as Oklahoma took second and Kansas State third, leaving Iowa
Softball to Be Played If Diamonds Are Dry
The games scheduled in the A league to be played on the fields east of Memorial stadium are, Battenfeld vs. Oldham's Oldsters, on diamond number 1, K. A. Psi vs. Beta on diamond 2; Phi Delt vs. B Duke's Mixture, field 3, and Delta Tau vs. Sigma Nu, field 4.
The men's intramural softball games scheduled for today will be played if the team managers decide that the diamonds are dry enough, Ray Kanehl, assistant intramural director said this morning.
B-league games scheduled for this afternoon on the fields south of Robinson gymnasium are Phi Gam vs. Phi Psi, field number 1 Sig Alph. vs. Blanks, field 2, and Sigma Chi vs. Pi KA., field 3. The Kappa Sigs are byed in this round.
State in last place.
Nebraska continued its winning habit through the conference meets of 1940 and '41. Kansas finished fifth in the 1940 meet during which three meet records were broken. Cornhuskers Ed Wibbels and Herb Grote outdistanced the marks in discus and javelin. Both records had been held by Kansas men, the 155-foot 11-inch discus mark by Thornhill, and the 208-foot 11-inch javelin record by Herringyon.
The Cornhusker's 1941 title was snatched late in the day from the Missouri Tigers who thought they had it cinched. Gene Littler of Nebraska, anchor on the mile relay team sprinted down the stretch to overcome a 10 yard lead by the Missouri team in the last event of the afternoon.
The score was $61\frac{1}{2}$ for the Nebraskans and 60 for the Tigers. Iowa State was a surprise third place winner with $30\frac{1}{2}$ points, Kansas State fourth with 27, and Oklahoma edged the Jayhawkers out of fifth place 23 to 22.

An experiment in student-faculty relations will be sponsored by Mortar Board and Sachem in a one-day conference at the Lawrence Country Club tomorrow.
Sixty faculty members and students have been asked to attend the meeting, which will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Discussions will be planned to further understanding between those who operate the University and those who are here to learn.
A tentative program has been based on the question, "How can we add to the effectiveness of our university's educational program so that its end
citizens capable of doing a more efficient job of living?"
After a panel discussion, four topics will be presented and discussed by student groups. At the conclusion of the meeting each delegate will state the two or three points which he feels have been most important.

You Can't Win! Times Change In Half Century
If you're planning, for any reason, to sue the University of Kansas, forget it.
It is impossible to sue the University, according to Dr. W. L. Burdick, former School of Law head, in answer to a reporter's query. He went on to explain that since the University is not a corporation, it can neither sue nor be sued.
The Board of Regents, however, does constitute a body corporate and therefore can be sued, but, according to the supreme court, "the Board's liability to be sued is very limited, and only in a few matters could a suit be maintained against it."
It can't be done.
The Board of Regents possesses the highest authority in University affairs but it has only that authority delegated by the state statutes, expressed or implied. It too, can overstep its authority and according to the courts, it has, several times.
According to Dr. Burdick, one such case occurred about 50 years ago. At that time a $5 fee was charged to each student for the support of the library. One student refused to pay. He refused on the grounds that the Kansas constitution guaranteed free education. The court agreed with him and he won his case!
But wait a minute.
That was 50 years ago. Since then the statutes have been changed and students can now be assessed for usage of books, labs, and for breakage of such things as test tubes.
David Hinshaw of New York, former Emporian, was named chairman of an executive committee of sponsors now engaged in raising a memorial fund to be used in fostering the broad aspects of journalism, in addition to the regular courses taught by the University. It is anticipated that the W.A. White Foundation fund will reach at least $200,-000. More than $40,00 already is in the treasury.
So that incidental fee you pay is legal after all.
Martin Fruhman of Dallas, Texas,
attended the board meeting and outlined a plan for interesting various industries in the purposes of the William Allen White Foundation. President Allen and Chancellor Deane W. Malett reported on their
White Foundation to Purchase $30,000 of Federal Bonds

The finance committee of the William Allen White Foundation, inc., was directed yesterday to purchase $20,000 worth of government bonds to be deposited in a Lawrence bank, as will the additional money to be raised for use in connection with the already-established William Allen White School of Journalism. This was the first investment of the Foundation, coming from funds subscribed to memorialize the famous Emporia editor who died last year.
At a meeting in Topeka yesterday the incorporators, acting in the capacity of trustees, elected W. C. Simons of the Lawrence Journal-World, vice-president. Karl Klooz, business manager of the University was named secretary-treasurer. Henry J. Allen of Wichita is president of the Foundation.

Washington, (INS)—The charred and battered hulk of the USS Franklin, 27,000 ton恩斯 type carrier, afloat at Brooklyn navy yard, today defiantly threw the lie at Tokyo claims that she had been bombed to a watery grave 60 miles off Kyushu last March.
As a member of Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's carrier task force striking at Nipon's battle-shy navy in the sacred inner sea, a dive bomber left her a roaring inferno and a geyser of explosions.
The story of how her gallant and valiant crew beat back the flames is one of the most thrilling to come out of the war. It came the morning of March 9. The task force was pressing

Bomb racks had been loaded, and gasoline tanks were in the process of being filled. Suddenly out of the mist dived a Japanese bombing plane. There had been no warning and it was too late to stop its spray of bombs.
Scenes of indescribable horror took place. Men were blown off the flight deck into the sea, burned to a crisp in a searing white-hot flash of flames that swept the hangar deck, and others were trapped in compartments below and sufficated by smoke.

Kansan Comments
Germans Win First Victory Of Occupation
With the announcement of supreme headquarters Allied expeditionary force of the "iron rule" to be enforced in Germany by occupational troops and the U.S. group council, which will take over after SHAEF finishes, there arises the question of whether Nazism actually can be crushed under this regime.
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, although an Allied prisoner of war temporarily is being used to carry out duties in connection with the feeding, disarmament, and medical care of the German forces. It is denied by the Allies that the use of Doenitz and other selected German officers is a recognition of the "Flensburg group" as the government of Germany. Authorities in London were shocked when they heard a German officer report that he had been ordered to take over the area occupied by troops of Field Marshal Montgomery. Some believed it an unquestionable victory for the Wehrmacht—an act which would not force them to bow in humility, but with pride. It was the realization to recover from their battle wounds of a scheme carefully planned and swiftly managed by the Wehrmacht.
But supreme headquarters announce that they plan to carry out three major aims in the American occupation: Smash all that is left of Germany's potential to make war, smash all vestiges of Nazism, and see that all war criminals are caught and punished. With these three goals, the four Allied nations will have a trying task to prove that they can stand together in carrying out their reforms for Germany. They still deal with a deadly and cunning enemy—one who remains to be beaten in spirit.
The first phase of occupation finds the enemy still on top, still at the head of his people. Plans for Allied extermination of Nazism must be more definite and accurate than were the initial phases of Allied occupation if civilization is to witness the elimination of its most bitter enemy—J.V.

Four Teams Vie For Top Honors In Softball
With a series of lopsided scores the men's intramural softball tournament passed the fifth round yesterday.
In the A league Battenfeld blanked the Oldham Oldster team 28 to 0 for the longest score of the day. The Phi Delt's turned, what looked for the first three innings, like a tight game, into a rout by tripling the count on Duke's mixture, 18 to 6. On the other end of the field Delta Tau defeated Sigma Nu, 11 to 4.
Only two of the three games scheduled were played in the B league, the Blanks being credited with a victory over Sig Alph by forfeit. Phi Psi beat Phil Gam 20 to 7. while Sigma Chi walloped Pi K. A. 23 to L.
23 to 1.
Yesterday's results failed to drop any of the undefeated teams from top running. The Beta's and Battenfield have yet to stumble, and the Blanks and Kappa Sig, after winning two, coasted through the fifth round on a torfelt and a bye.
Kappa Alpha Psi, one of the teams of the A division, has dropped out of the tournament. Ray Kanehl, in charge of the intramural program, said yesterday.

Owen Maloney Freed From German Camp
Lt. Owen Maloney, a prisoner of war in Germany since January 31, has been liberated, according to a War Department message received yesterday by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Maloney, Tulsa, Okla.
Lieutenant Maloney was a senior in the University's School of Engineering and Architecture when he enlisted in the summer of 1942. One sister, Marilyn, is a College junior.
He was a navigator-bombardier on a B-24 Liberator which was lost on a mission over Austria, near Vienna. The message spoke of Lieutenant Maloney as being "returned to military control," but did not state where he had been imprisoned or when he might be returned. The telegram also informed his parents of no increase in grade to first lieutenant.

Charles Black Receives D S C And Promotion
Capt. Charles Black, outstanding forward on the "Iron Five" that dominated Big Six basketball in 1943, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, it was announced in a letter to his mother in Lawrence from headquarters of the 12th air force.
The letter signed by Brig. Gen Chidlaw read:
Chishaw "It is with pride that I take this opportunity to write and tell you that your son, Lt. Charles B. Black, Jr., has earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for superior performance of duty in action against the enemy.
"Despite a heavy overcast which forced him to fly at minimim altitude and through accurate enemy ground fire, Lieutenant Black made repeated photo runs over vital enemy targets, thereby contributing greatly to subsequent tactical operations.
"His courageous act richly merits this high honor and I share with you the pride I know you feel. Airmen like your son, by their great courage and perseverance, maintain peak standards of combat efficiency and encourage the devotion to duty which marked our progress toward ultimate victory."
Black has been promoted to captain since the letter from his commanding general was written. He has one year of college competition coming after the war and has expressed his intention to return to K.U. Dr. Allen once called him, "The best man I ever coached."
Iowa State to Send Twenty-four to Meet
Ames, Iowa—Coach George Bretnall, Iowa State College track mentor, has named 24 Cyclone cindermen to make the trip to Lincoln, Neb., this weekend to compete in the Big Six outdoor track and field championship tomorrow afternoon.
Although the squad won the Big Six indoor event at Kansas City, it will be somewhat weakened for the outdoor classic. Ted Moorman, high point man on the squad, may not compete because of a pulled leg muscle, sustained while working out for the Drake Relays. He has not competed in the last 3 meets, the Drake Relays, the Minnesota-Draka-Iowa State College triangular and the Iowa State College-Seahawk dual meet.
Weak spot in the squad is in the weight events and the addition of the discus and javelin events in the Saturday meet at Lincoln will give other teams a point advantage in that department. Missouri, with Quirk and Bangert in the shot and discus and Crowson in the sprints, will have 28 certain points in these events which gives them a point advantage before the meet which will be almost impossible to overcome.
The spring issue of the Jayhawker will be distributed either next Monday or Tuesday, Mary Morrill, editor, said yesterday? The magazine was scheduled to be ready this week, she said, but because of a delay in printing it will not be available.

Each organized house will represent a country, according to size, and all students in these houses may participate by working on the committees that will meet before the final session to decide upon the issues and proposals to be made. Delegates will be sent from the houses to meet and decide the country they will represent.
Preliminary Planning Started
The preliminary planning has already begun and a spring organizations group is being formed. To explain plans to the students the speaking committee will go to the organized houses during dinner Tuesday and Wednesday to ask for delegates to help with the preliminaries and to decide upon a chairman and the committee heads for the conference.

U.S. Fleet Near Kyushu, Jap Quarters Report
(International News Service)
Jap quarters said today that a formidable U.S. fleet is provelling the waters of the far Pacific, aiming possibly at the southernmost island of Japan.
Student-Faculty Understanding Is Mortar Board, Sachem Aim
Only last weekend carrier-based war planes of the U.S. Pacific fleet hammered 18 Jap airdromes on Kyushu and Chikoku, destroying or damaging at least 284 planes.
However, American airmen in the last week have stepped up considerably their assaults on Kyushu, from which island the Japs have mounted considerable air opposition to the Yanks in the Okinawa islands, 325 miles to the southwest.
The tough leathernecks engager the fanatic Jap defenders in hand-to-hand fighting as they pushed forward one prong of a pincers closing in on the town. Timed with this blow was a 400-yard gain by units of the 77th division bringing the doughbags within a few hundred yards of Shuri.
In the vicious battle for Okinawa, elements of the first Marine division drove forward in a bloody gain of almost a half mile and smashed the outer defenses of the Jap bastion of Shuri.
Following up earlier reports that a powerful task force steamed out of the Marianas islands several days ago, the Jap broadcast intimated that the floatilla may be heading for Kyushu. This was pure conjecture, however, in for fact the presence in those waters of any fleet unit other than those supporting the 10th army in Okinawa went entirely unconfirmed in reputable Allied circles.
Engage in Close Combat
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz said the Yanks were meeting the heaviest kind of resistance on Okinawa. Nimitz also reported that the 6th Division Marines beat off a strong enemy counter attack in the ruins of Naha, Okinawa's capital.
The "Shack" literally had its top blown today when high winds lifted chunks of its tiled roof and flung them down on the tarred roof of the journalism annex. The damage was slight.

Kansan Comments
Independents Deserve Praise From Students
The Independents deserve a round of well-earned applause for their part in the recent political election.
They managed to develop in three months one of the most closely-knit, unified organizations this University has seen. That it could grow out of a small bull-session one night early in February is a credit to its leaders.
The group was organized three months ago, when students attended the new organization at its first mass meeting. Independents looked ahead, and formed a political party to participate in the student election. They held a primary of their own to work out their slate fairly, and more than 500 students cast their ballots in the preliminary election.
It was hard, plenty hard to organize scattered independents who thought they had no reason to be interested in the election. Greeks could tell their members how to vote and lay down the law, but with Independents it was far different.
Without compulsory methods, they had to depend entirely on enthusiasm and spirit to get voters to the polls. Last week, for example, every candidate was introduced in every organized and unorganized house on the hill to promote interest. The campaigning was vigorous.
Many times during the past three months it would have been easy to have shelved the whole thing and called it quits; for anyone with less determination, the project would have fizzled. But the leaders had faith, and the members believed in them. They were not trying to beat out other organizations on the campus; they were trying only to establish a few of the rights which they deserve so definitely.
Independents are off to a good start. Right now, however, their strength lies in the hands of a few leaders who have not been afraid to get out and work hard. Besides this nucleus, the organization needs many more interested participants who will forward their cause. Through quantity as well as high leadership it can be strengthened.
That is ahead. Righ now University students should be thankful for a group which has done so much to infuse a new spirit of interest into campus affairs. The cubby-holy little office in the Union building bears close watching; out of it a center of vital leadership may grow
Graduate Killed On USS Franklin
One University graduate was killed and another barely escaped injury on the U.S.S. Franklin, naval carrier, when it was struck by Japanese bombs off the southern coast of Japan March 19.
Lt. (jg) John Elliott Penner, intelligence officer on the carrier and who received his masters degree in journalism from the University in 1936, was killed in the attack. Lt. Chester Spray, gunnery officer and a graduate of the School of Business in 1940, was on the last bomber which left the carrier just 20 seconds before the first explosion.
Nine bombers left the carrier on a mission and Lieutenant Spray was aboard the last one to take off. The two officers were in the same squadron.

Keith Congdon, Mary Morrill Julia Ann Casad, Anne Scott, Joanne Riney, Rosalie Erwin, and Wendell Nickell discussed various features of this topic.
An evaluation of the conference was presented at the close by Lonnie Kelley and Chancellor Malott.
This conference was planned as an experiment by members of Mortar Board and Sachem as a service to the University, Miss Bohan said. It is hoped that it will initiate and encourage programs designed to develop a new maturity in K.U. students, she said.

Good Safety Record Achieved Under Bayles' Supervision
No deaths or serious injuries resulting from accidents have occurred since C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, began as head of that department of the University 18 years ago.
He said that the employees carry no workman's compensation policy. This is explained by the fact that the state carries no insurance of any kind. The exception at the University is that they do carry boiler insurance in the power plant, but public liability, property damage, fire, burglary, and theft insurance is not carried.
"We've been fortunate." Mr. Bayles said, "but we've also taken every kind of precaution to prevent accidents. On the whole, the work is not hazardous, most of the workers having maintenance jobs. A job may call for their getting on top of the highest roof to repair it, but caution has prevented any mishaps."
No Workman's Compensation
Minor injuries occur occasionally, and are treated with first aid equipment at the headquarters building. If necessary, they are taken to Watkins Memorial hospital where care is given. Outside of minor first aid treatment, other medical attention must be paid for by the accident victim.
Must Go to Claims Committee
If the injury should be extensive and cost'y, the only legal way in which the victim can be compensated is to go to the claims committee of the state legislature. Compensation may be granted through legislative action then.
Mr. Bayles said it would be well for persons to realize that if they or their property at the University were injured or damaged in any way by vehicles belonging to the state, these persons cannot sue for that would be suing the state, which law has prohibited. It is necessary to remember that they can be repaid by taking the same action as the injured worker, which is by applying to the claims committee for compensation for damages.
Precaution Needed, Bayles Says
Precaution, he urges again, is the best measure for preventing accidents. At the power plant electrical
equipment has been fenced in. Steel helmets, goggles and an air supply are supplied to men in the steam house. Electricians wear rubber gloves as protection from high voltages.
The automobiles and trucks are kept in good condition. Experienced, reliable drivers are selected to drive these vehicles as a protection to themselves and to those who will come in contact with them every day.

Delta Tau holds an 11-4 victory over Sigma Nu and a tie with Battenfeld in addition to one in the win column as the result of a forfeit.
The Sigma Nu team will remain idle until Thursday, collecting a victory on a bye in tomorrow's round. Blanks Meet Fliam Gam's

Great Britain's Elections Delay 'Big Three' Meet
London—(INS)—A further delay in what is considered an urgently needed meeting of the Big Three was seen today as the result of the political situation in Britain which probably will involve a general election early this summer.
It is believed that Prime Minister Winston Churchill is prepared to ask King George VI for a dissolution of Parliament to permit the elections to be held either the first or second week of July.
"There seems to be no possibility of harmony," Churchill wrote to Deputy Clement R. Attlee, labor leader today in setting the stage for the dissolution of parliament. Attlee had represented labor in the coalition government.
Cabinet Shakeup Eminent
Likely too, was an immediate cabinet shakeup, with the removal of key laborite ministers.
The delay in the Big Three meeting is much the same as that last summer when President Roosevelt's position as a leader became less effective for the time being owing to the approaching elections. It was uncertain as to whether he would be the spokesman for the American people or not. The same situation now exists as to Churchill and not until the elections are held will he be certain as to his backing from the British people.
Situation Similar to U.S.
Churchill will ask his people to back him until the end of the war with Japan. He had maintained that an election now would have a tendency to slow up operations at a time when they should be most effective.
Five faculty members attended meetings called by the regional office of the War Labor board in Kansas City Friday and Saturday. All are chairmen of three-party panels and represent the public in the hearing of labor disputes; the other two members of the tripartite panels represent labor and management respectively. Officials of the regional board explained labor legislation, War Labor board policies, and major problems faced by the panels when conducting hearings and in making reports to the regional board.
Five Faculty Members Attend W.L.B. Meet
The panel chairmen from the University who attended were Prof. Leland J. Pritchard and Prof. Leslie L. Waters of the School of Business; Prof Walter E. Sandelius and Prof. E. O. Stene of the department of political science; and Prof. Elmer F. Beth of the department of journalism.
Induction of 30-Year-Olds Halted by Selective Service
Washington, (INS) — National Selective Service headquarters today virtually halted the induction of men 30 years or older. Registrants who are "regularly engaged in activities essential to the war effort or other useful work" will be deferred.

C. V. C. Gets $267.10 In First Two Days Of War Bond Drive
Total for the first day and a half's sales of bonds and stamps by the C.V.C. for the Seventh war loan drive is $267.10, Beverly Waters, chairman, said today.
Two hundred and twenty-five dollars in bonds have been sold and the remaining $42.10 in stamps, Miss Waters said.
These totals are exclusive of the sales being made under the auspices of the women's Pan-Hellenic council and those being turned into Dr. F. C. Allen, campus chairman.
Miss Waters said that the faculty has been quite co-operative in the C.V.C.'s drive, but that student participation was being sought. The bond sales to date have been made solely by faculty members, Miss Waters said.
Final Choir Concert Pleased Audience
The A Cappella choir, directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout, presented a fine concert last night, judging from the audience response.
Knowing that this was its last public appearance as a mixed voice choir this year, the group put forth a great effort to make this a success-performance. A group of Russian numbers was highlighted by Ruth Reisner, soprano, who sang "The Lord's Prayer" while the choir projected a soft choral background.
(continued to page four)
Prof. Allen Crafton, chairman of the speech department, has ended the season's presentation at the Resident theater, Kansas City, without even appearing on the stage.
Crafton's Stage Season Inactive
Professor Crafton was to be the guest actor for the University of Kansas City players in three plays, including two Noel Coward numbers and one by Thorlon Wilder, which were scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
When he arrived in Kansas City for a rehearsal Friday of "The Family Album" he found that the script in Kansas City had a different dialogue from the one he had been studying, in addition to six parts of songs he was to sing.
No explanation of the varying Coward play, with and without music was available, but Professor Crafton said there was not ample time for him to learn the new dialogue, let alone the parts of six songs.
J. A. Mayer, training and research coordinator, will address University students at 2:30 Friday afternoon in Fraser theater. His talk will be on "Getting and Keeping a Job."
700 Servicemen Overseas Take K.U. Correspondence Courses
Mr. Mayer is being brought to the University through the Personality for Successful Living conference which will be held on the campus Friday and Saturday. He will stress aspects of keeping a job, illustrating his lecture with his own experiences with employers.
J. A. Mayer to Speak Friday in Fraser
More than 30 colleges and universities are participating in this program. Kansas state teacher's colleges at Pittsburg, and Ft. Hays are the only other institutions participating in Kansas other than the University.
The University sends the text books with the instructions to the student and is responsible for the books if they are lost for reasons due to war conditions. Several books have been lost in bombings and the loss of transports while enroute to their destination, H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division said. Lose Books in Evacuation
More than 700 servicemen are taking correspondence study courses from the University in connection with the U. S. Armed Forces Institute, Miss Ruth Kenney, correspondence study secretary, said this morning.
In this program the government pays half of the cost of correspondence courses taken by any member of the armed forces. The other half of the cost is paid by the enrollee.
"Undoubtedly, some sets of books were lost in students' possession due to the hasty evacuation of the Belgium bulge in January and February." Mr. Inham explained.
The servicemen, stationed in Burma, the Philippine and Aleutian islands, Germany, North Africa, Australia, and the South Pacific, have a choice of 111 courses under 26 departments of study. "Many of the addresses on our mailing list are to San Francisco and from there go to the postoffice at New York and all parts of the world," Miss Kenney said.

Indiana U. to Provide Fund In Name of Ernie Pyle
Some of Ernie Pyle's "unsung heroes" and "little fellows," who are interested in journalism, will be provided for at Indiana university by the newly established Memorial fund in the name of the famous war correspondent.
A Pyle Memorial room will also be established where numerous items, connected with his student days at the university and manuscripts and photographs from his active newspaper days.
Kansan Reviews Are Free To Students for Mailing
Provision for scholarships and lecture ships in expanded training in journalism and allied fields has been determined as the foremost objective of the Fund.
The noted journalist, when at the university last fall to receive an honorary degree, spoke of the need for collegiate training for young men and women interested in newspaper, public relations and radio work. He explained then that trained people are in demand in newspaper and allied fields.
There is no charge for the Kansan Review except where it is obtained in large amounts for personal use, Nancy Tomlinson, business manager of the Daily Kansan reminded students today.
"The sponsors of the Review are taking care of the major expense to insure distribution," she said. "There are a few copies left of the last issue, and as eager as the men and women in service are to get them, I feel that every copy should find its way into their hands."
Miss Tomlinson urged that organize houses have their representative, get sufficient copies of the Review when they call for the Dally Kansas.
Among the hundreds of individual gifts sent to the university foundation were checks from men in service who felt the famed correspondent wrote in their names to the folks back home. These gifts, which have been unsolicited, have ranged from $1 to $500.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 22,1945
Kansan Comments
Hill Conference Opens New Era Of Cooperation
A new era of student-faculty cooperation in the progressive education of responsible adults has been opened at the University of Kansas. At least the vision has been seen. Mortar Board-Sachem's confab was the longest step yet taken in this direction.
Thinking together as adults and playing together like younsters, men and women of the faculty, administration and student body gained a better understanding of the motives, problems and hopes in the mind of each for making this university more effective in educating students to become "responsible citizens capable of doing a more efficient job of living."
Administrative problems, they found, arise in trying to steer a course between the wants of the student body on one hand, and pressure groups, public opinion and the Board of Regents on the other. Our university has been a follower of public opinion more often than a leader, especially in incidents concerning the mores and morals of the day.
These student responsibilities to the university were recognized: participation in its program, evaluation of these programs, assumption of leadership in improving them, and encouragement of others in the student body to active participation and criticism.
Discussions of policy, traditions, student government, leadership, and progressive educational trends in other universities, aroused plans for action.

Vot Next—After Katherine Kufahr's senior recital last week, her sisters gave a reception at the Chi O abode. Enjoying the evening was Jan Chiapusso, Kathy's teacher. Good byes said, Professor Chiapusso went into the mail room in the hall to pull on his "gooledhes."
Just as said professor leaned over, Ed Shive, who had been talking to Jean Cody on the house phone, bounded out of the phone booth across the hall. Since the hall is quite narrow, Ed hit Mr. C. in—anyway, he went sprawling into the mail room. Pulling his head out of a mail box, Professor Chiapusso said flatly, "My word, they even keep sailors in the closets!"

Theta-ma-jig, Ette Bennett played hostess to the Theta chapter in Ottawa this weekend. Sun-bathing was the order of the day Saturday and Sunday as is obvious from the "well-done" pinkish tinge worn by all Lila Doughman, Katie Burchfield, and Lee Thompson, spent their time thinking up and carrying out practical jokes. Loly O'Leary, however, wonders what's so practical about having cigarettes blowing up in her face. She is still brushing tobacco from her hair. Little did she suspect as she lit that "free" fag that half of it would shoot cannon-like to the opposite side of the room!

Spring has sprung thought Jim Conard, so why not wear a spring suit to the Pi Phi formal? He did, but the double breasted coat hit him at the waist, and his trousers (no, they weren't rolled) sneaked up to the knee region. Jim was a little hand-i-capped all evening, he had to keep his hands in his pockets to make the coat look longer.

Story of Campus' Elusive Spring Ceases To Be Funny In May
Funny stories cease to be funny after a certain length of time. Hence the sad story of the moon, the stars blue skies, and warm, sunny days.
A few weeks ago the weather was funny, "Ha! Ha!" but that was the time when coeds were still wearing skirts and sweaters to classes. Then the sun came out over the weekend—also over several hundred happy students—and winter clothing was sent home.
Blue Monday rolled around. Tuesday followed as usual and after that came Wednesday. The sun was busy adding up his 85 points and refused to come out until the weekend
The aforesaid weekends were spent in taking sun baths, drilling, playing tennis, and, well, various other activities. But as Monday tumbled around on the heels of Friday the sunning (sometimes spelled with a "t") suits became a trifle chilly and were discarded for more practical dress such as summer dresses and sheer blouses which were the only items left in the closet.
This morning the sun decided to add to the confusion of students by appearing in the middle of the week. But students take heart, the Navy can't be wrong and just notice what the V-12s are wearing today.
Mary Tayler, Dean S. Sims Married Friday
The marriage of Mary Taylor daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Glenn C Taylor, Lyons, and Dean S. Sims son of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Sims, Miami, Okla., took place May 18 at St Paul's Episcopal church in Kansas City, Mo.
The bride who was graduated from the College in 1944, majored in bacteriology. She was a member of Chi Omega. Mr. Sims was a journalism major and was graduated last semester. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.
Shirley Crawford, sorority sister of the bride and fine arts junior, was maid of honor. Mr. Sims' father served as his best man.
Guests from Lawrence who attended the ceremony were:
Mary Sims, Joanna Wagstaff, A Evans, Sue Diggs, Mrs. Vance Elder, Madeleon McClure, Beverly Bohan, and Anne Young.
Following the wedding, a reception was held in the Hotel Continental.
A daughter was born to Ens. and Mrs. Robert F. Norris, Topeka, at 9 p.m. Wednesday at Christ hospital. Ensign Norris was a junior in the School of Business when he left for the navy in July, 1943.
Daughter for Ensign and Wife
Mr. and Mrs. J. Homer King, Lawrence, have announced the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Mary Evelyn, to Tech. Sgt. Max Gott, U.S. Marines, son of Capt. and Mrs. J. R. Gott, Osawatime.

The times are faster in the races and the distances greater in the throwing events at the end of the Jayhawk outdoor season than they were at the beginning, as one might expect.

By LOREN KING
Better yet was the javelin throw that won the event in the dual meet with Missouri at Columbia, May 12, a distance of 179 feet, 3 inches.
In his next performance, at the Nebraska-Kansas dual meet in Memorial stadium May 5, Robinson tossed the winning distance of 173 feet, $4\frac{1}{4}$ inches.
expect. The most consistent improvement during the season was shown by LeRoy Robison in the progressively greater distances of the four first places in javelin taken by him in the outdoor season. Robison's first javelin title was made on a 172 foot 8-inc throw. It was the best at the Oklahoma-Kansas dual meet in Norman April 14, and set a meet record.
Interesting to note is the fact that in winning the javelin event at the Big Six outdoor meet in Lincoln, Neb., May 19, Robison threw the shortest of any of his winning distances of the season, 168 feet, $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Other Kansas First
Another meet record fell at the Kansas-Oklahoma dual contest also at the hands of Robison. The shot put mark set by him at that meet, 43 feet 6 inches was the best in the history of the meet.
Kenneth Danneberg won the 106 yard dash in two of the season's outdoor dual meets; with Oklahoma there, and with Nebraska here. The first one was in a relatively slow time, 10.3 seconds, but the second. three weeks later showed a time of 9.9 seconds.
This is not, however, the best mark in the 1945 Jayhawk weight division. In the meeting with the Cornhuskers here Ernie Bauer won the shot with a heave of 44 feet 5 inches.
Richard Hudson, showed improvement between the Nebraska and Missouri meets, winning the first with
a time of 4 minutes 42.4 seconds, and one week later cutting the winning time to 4 minutes 38 seconds against the Tigers.
Wichita North Takes AA Title
A big wind kept the performances at the Kansas state championship meet in Wichita May 18 and 19 down to average or below. One feature of the meet, however, was that Wichita North took the class AA title away from Wichita East, last year's champion and three-time winner of the K.U. Interscholastic track and field meet.
North scored 37 points to Easta 32½. Other class AA scores were Summer 25, Wyandotte 21, Shawnee-Mission, 16 Columbus 131/6, Wellington 11, Salina 10, Lawrence 10, Ottawa 9, Topeka 9, Hutchinson 9, Fort Scott 9, McPherson 8, Junction City 4, and Manhattan 31/3.
Garden City won the Class A title with 31 points and Pretty Prairie repeated in the B division with 22 points.

Council to Vote on Point System Next Week After Third Reading; Final Vote Postponed Last Night
Campus Blooms In Navy White
"Yum! Look good enough to eat!" That was the female reaction.
"Humph! Look like pajamas!" That was the civilian male reaction.
Uniform of today, however, is whites and raincoats, described by one coed as a "gruesome twosome."
Too good to last, the pleasant springiness of W-day faded into oblivion today, and the sailors feel "just too ducky" in their whites tromping through the drizzle.
Yesterday was the long-awaited W-day of the navy, when the K. U. trainees blossomed forth in their whites on an untypical sunny Kansas morning.
Each spring new comments are heard on the whites, most of which are favorable.
"They really brighten up the campus," is heard most often.
Prize comment of this season came from one freshman who moaned, "I just can't recognize a soul. You can't tell where their white suits end and their white faces begin!"

A small handful of army or civilian men usually sniff disdainfully a V-12 saunters by and remark, "Dig those short pants! Gad, man, who poured you into that suit?"
A.E.F. Officers Seize Flensburg Leaders
Flensburg, Germany—(INS)—Officers of the Allied expeditionary force today arrested all members of the so-called Flenburg German government, together with the remaining members of the German general staff.
The prisoners included Grand Adm. Karl Doenitz, and Col. Gen. Gustav Jodl. The latter signed the initial surrender for Germany at Reims.
Meanwhile, it was learned that Adm. Gen. Hans Von Friedebung one of the German signatories of the unconditional surrender, committed suicide.
'Worst of War' Seen in Manila Karl Baldwin Writs Malott
"Fort Santiago, where the last stand was made, is largely a mass of battered stones," he reported. A low flight over Manila Harbor, Cavite, and Regregidor showed the last two places battered beyond imagination, he said.
Quantities of abondoned Japanese AA guns and heavy ordnance, burned - out Japanese airplanes, truck convoys, tanks, and railway trains show the efficiency of the Allied air attack which the Colonel said was "superb."
Manila, the city blasted by internal bombs, will have to be rebuilt, is the belief of Col. Karl T. Baldwin, former head of the department of military science and tactics, who recently wrote Chancellor Deane W Malott.
Colonel Baldwin, who sent a collection of nine posters by Japanese artists to contribute to the "War Memento" collection of the University, is now military attach in the American Legation at Melbourne. Manila Three-fourths Gone
"In and around Manila, you see the worst of the war." he wrote. "At least three-fourths of the city proper is gone."
Allied Air Attack Superb
"The harbor is full of sunken ships—mostly Japanese. Only 60 or 70 show above the water, though there are probably over 200," he continued.
Colonel Baldwin's room which was spared internal bombs, had no door, no mirror, and no window panes. Three shell holes went through the room.
The activity point system, All-Student Council Bill No. 15, will go to a third and final reading at the regular meeting of the council next Tuesday, Persis Snook, president, said today.
The council heard the second reading by Robert Buechel, secretary, last night, when the final vote was postponed to next week.
The purpose of the activity point system, according to Martha Ellen Woodward, point*system committee chairman, is to regulate and limit the number of offices a student may hold in campus organizations and the number of campus organizations to which he may belong. Miss Woodward said the activity point bill, if enforced, would bring about more efficient leadership, and active participation in campus activities. Committee to Manage
The point system, according to the bill, will be managed and directed by an activity point system committee (A. P. S. C.), composed of one faculty member and three students, to be appointed by the council president with the approval of two-thirds of the council. The commit-

Churchill to Form New Cabinet
London—(INS) —Prime Minister Winston Churchill resigned his office today and immediately accepted an invitation from King George to form a new government.
Churchill's resignation, which automatically resolved his war cabinet, was predicated solely on refusal of the British labor party to accede in continuation of the coalition government up until the moment of Japan's complete defeat.
Shortly thereafter, it was announced that Parliament will be dissolved June 15.
The new interim government will not include representatives of the Labor party, one of the strongest elements in the major parties.
Churchill was in conference wilt King George for 50 minutes this morning in presenting his resignation and receiving his commission to form a new government.
It was expected that the campaign would be extremely spirited, the Conservatives taking up the argument that Churchill should remain until the end of the war with Japan, and the Laborites seeking immediate reforms such as nationalization of natural resources, better housing and working conditions, and a policy of government more friendly to the Russian government.

Kansan Comments
Student Interest May Influence K.U. Curriculum
Matters discussed at the student-faculty conference last Saturday included the question of student participation and interest in the shaping of curriculum. Chancellor Maltot made the statement that all curricular changes that are made are the results of faculty appraisal of student needs and desires—that they come indirectly as results of the wants of the student body.
wants of the student life This is true, but too few of us take an active interest in such affairs. We sit around and gripe about courses, teachers, and teaching methods, but we do not know how to take any direct action.
The reason for this lies partly in our half-knowledge of the reasons behind the curricular adjustments that are being made. Not many of us, we may probably safely conjecture, have taken the time to read a recent report by a faculty committee on new requirements in the College. We have heard the phrase "Western Civilization" thrown around recently, but we do not really know what the new course is
Constantly, we should ask ourselves what we want to get out of four years in the University. We should then determine whether our needs are being filled or not, and if not, what is necessary to fill them. The University wants to adjust its curriculum to fit our needs.
In the future, there may be some student representation on the faculty Committee on Curriculum. Until that time students should find out who are the members of that committee, and let them know what we want. First of all, however, we must begin to think about the problem.—N.W.

The freshman art class will visit the William Rockhill Nelson art galleries in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday. E. L. Knapp, Lawrence, has provided a truck for their transportation, according to Prof. Karl Matter, their teacher.
Want to Meet Mary Truman? Here's How
Tired of the local talent, men? Bob Meyer, Northwestern university student, has the solution—provided you can elude the F.B.I.
As Bob prepared to leave one weekend for Washington on business for his father, a friend kidded him, "Why don't you get a date with Mary Margaret Truman while you're there?"
So on Saturday afternoon Bob was standing before the big yellow brick Blair house. Inside is President Truman's office—outside are two secret service men.
"It's all right," Bob told them,
"I'm a friend of Mary Margaret's."
"I'll like to see Miss Mary Mar-
"I'd like to see Miss Mary Margaret," he announced to the butler. A voice from the library just off the hall said. "I'll see him, Jim."
The voice belonged to Mary Margaret's father. Attired in a gray, pin-stripe suit, he looked up from his deck, smiled and asked, "So you're a friend of Mary Margaret's?"
By this time Bob was properly speechless, but he managed a rather weak. "I wanted to see her."
"I'm sorry," her father said, "but she has gone to a weekend party in Virginia. I know she would like to meet you if she were here."
Bob walked out of the house and into the street. He was wondering what the federal laws said about ignoring the F.B.I. and gaining entrance to the President's office in search of an old friend he had never met.

Ink Spots—Hypo needles have lots of uses, to hear the Nu Sig's tell it. Not long ago, some of them filled a hypo needle with blue ink, and injected it into an unsuspecting bowl!
Some of the plants they plan to visit are North American Aviation co., Pratt and Whitney, Aircraft industries, Wilcox Electrical Manufacturing co., Sheffield Steel, and Phillips Petroleum.

Margaret Eberhart Marries Lt. Shanklin in Unique Ceremony
Fashions First
Guests attending the wedding of Miss Margaret Eberhardt and Lt. Benjamin W. Shanklin, who were married last night in the First Baptist Church, in Kansas City, had a taste of the unusual.
The bride, who resigned from the faculty of the design department of the University March 1. to be married, provided her own ring and also that of the bridegroom. She entwined the strands of gold wire into a massive ring for her husband, and for herself, she used a more intricate delicate, design. She also designed her engagement ring, the stone of which was a brown diamond found by her husband while in Alaska.
Another touch of the unusual was in the ceremony itself, which was removed from the commonplace.
The bridegroom stood in the choir loft and sang "I Love You Truly" to his bride as she stood at the rear of the sanctuary waiting for the wedding march. At the altar, the two recited the vows from memory.
Besides the bride's touch in designing the rings, her skill was also a point of interest in the floral display, where a vase shaped by her and glazed by a formula she devised, was used. She made the vase white
here at the University.
The father of the bridegroom, the Rev. C. H. Shanklin, officiated at the ceremony.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Shanklin will go to Camp Lee, Va., where he is stationer with the quarter master corps. He recently was commissioned after spending three years in Alaska. Lt. Shanklin has served most of his time in the army as a chaplain's assistant. He plans to enter the ministry following the war.

Call Tokyo Blast 'Greatest of All Manmade Fires'
(International News Service)
Large fires were still burning in Tokyo today after 500 B-29 superforts unloaded a torrent of some 700,000 fire bombs on the Japanese capital.
The raid began two or three hours before sunrise Thursday (Japanese time). Returning airmen termed the raid the "greatest man-made conflagration in history."
They said that explosions "like lightning" were visible more than one hundred miles out at sea.
On Okinawa, the United States 10th army overcame stubborn Japanese resistance to hammer out important gains, and on the island's east coast, the veteran 7th division continued its drive.
The Yanks pushed to positions 1200 yards south of captured Yonabarau, seizing two important hills near the town of Taira.
MacArthur revealed that steady progress by his forces in central Mindanao had carried two convergent spearheads to within 8 miles of each other.
50 Per Cent More Gas Released on A Cards
Washington, (INS) — Beginning June 22, the A card value of gasoline rations will be increased 50 per cent from four to six gallons, for civilian motorists all over the nation.
4—MORE GAS RELEASED
Harold L. Ickes, petroleum administrator, said last night that for the first time since July, 1941, he has the satisfaction of providing more gasoline for civilian use.
"We have looked forward to this day for a long time," he said, "and victory in Europe now makes it possible."
On June 11, B card ceiling will be increased to 650 miles a month throughout the country. At present, the B card ration differs in various sections.
Coast Guard To Talk To 17-Year-Old Men
Interviews for 17-year-old men students interested in enrolling in the Coast Guard Preparatory school, Groton, Conn., will be given tomorrow in the registrar's office by Lt. (jg) Mable E. Martin, personnel procurement officer stationed at St. Louis.
Interested students may make appointments in the registrar's office in Frank Strong hall with Lois Klock.
Lieutenant Martin will discuss the requirements, opportunities, and advantages of enlisting in the preparatory school which will open in August for one year.
Upon completion of this course a person is well qualified for the cadet examination for entrance into the regular Coast Guard academy, Lieutenant Martin said in a letter to the registrar.
Graduates from the academy's four-year course receive a bachelor of science degree in engineering and are commissioned ensigns in the Coast Guard, Lieutenant Martin said.

Americans United Membership Drive Successful So Far
The drive for membership to the Americans United for World Organization is in full swing with some organized houses giving 100 per cent support, Patricia Graham, acting chairman, announced today.
Thirty-one students spoke in 25 of the organized houses at dinner last night explaining the aims of the Americans United to possible members. They will go to 17 more houses tonight.
Speakers will report at the Union Lounge between 7 and 9 p.m. tonight with the money received and a list of the new members. Summer addresses of those joining are being taken so that bulletins may be sent to them during July and August.
Americans United is a national organization with Henry J. Kaiser, ship construction head, as membership chairman, and Harold Stassen, one of the United States' representatives to the peace conference, as a member of the organization's executive board.
The chief aim is to get the ratification of the treaty for the United States to join a world peace organization. There is some doubt that the treaty may go through since 20 senators already have opposed any form of world league and only 33 vote will defeat such a treaty.
Americans United hope to get 10 million members and feel that a list of names this size will bring more attention to the senate than individual letters. The group has no definite peace plan which it is seeking to have adopted.
77th Hospital Unit Expected Home Soon
The 77th evacuation hospital unit, organized at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, may be coming home soon from Europe, it has been announced.
No decision has been made regarding the use to be made of the 77th. A high ranking officer of the medical corps said the Kansas City outfit probably would not be called upon for service in the Pacific.
U.S. Halts Chicago Strike; Seize Trucks
Chicago — The government announcement that it would take over Chicago's strike - bound trucking lines which have halted work of 6-500 truck drivers for a week saw the work stoppage near an end.

Less than an hour before the W. L. B. action, the Office of Defense Transportation, under order of President Truman, said it would seize the motor carriers of the Midwestern traffic center at midnight last night to keep vital food and war products on the move.

Call Tokyo Blast 'Greatest of All Manmade Fires'
(International News Service)
Large fires were still burning in Tokyo today after 500 B-29 superforts unloaded a torrent of some 700,000 fire bombs on the Japanese capital.
The raid began two or three hours before sunrise Thursday (Japanese time). Returning airmen termed the raid the "greatest man-made conflagration in history."
They said that explosions "like lightning" were visible more than one hundred miles out at sea.
On Okinawa, the United States 10th army overcame stubborn Japanese resistance to hammer out important gains, and on the island's east coast, the veteran 7th division continued its drive.
The Yanks pushed to positions 1200 yards south of captured Yonabar, seizing two important hills near the town of Taira.
MacArthur revealed that steady progress by his forces in central Mindanao had carried two convergent spearheads to within 8 miles of each other.
50 Per Cent More Gas Released on A Cards
4—MORE GAS RELEASED
Washington, (INS) — Beginning June 22, the A card value of gasoline rations will be increased 50 per cent from four to six gallons, for civilian motorists all over the nation.
Harold L. Ickes, petroleum administrator, said last night that for the first time since July, 1941, he has the satisfaction of providing more gasoline for civilian use.
"We have looked forward to this day for a long time," he said, "and victory in Europe now makes it possible."
On June 11, B card ceiling will be increased to 650 miles a month throughout the country. At present, the B card ration differs in various sections.

Americans United Membership Drive Successful So Far
The drive for membership to the Americans United for World Organization is in full swing with some organized houses giving 100 per cent support, Patricia Graham, acting chairman, announced today.
Thirty-one students spoke in 25 of the organized houses at dinner last night explaining the aims of the Americans United to possible members. They will go to 17 more houses tonight.
Speakers will report at the Union Lounge between 7 and 9 p.m. tonight with the money received and a list of the new members. Summer addresses of those joining are being taken so that bulletins may be sent to them during July and August.
Americans United is a national organization with Henry J. Kaiser, ship construction head, as membership chairman, and Harold Stassen, one of the United States' representatives to the peace conference, as a member of the organization's executive board
The chief aim is to get the ratification of the treaty for the United States to join a world peace organization. There is some doubt that the treaty may go through since 20 senators already have opposed any form of world league and only 33 votes will defeat such a treaty.
Americans United hope to get 10 million members and feel that a list of names this size will bring more attention to the senate than individual letters. The group has no definite peace plan which it is seeking to have adopted.
77th Hospital Unit Expected Home Soon
The 77th evacuation hospital unit organized at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, may be coming home soon from Europe, it has been announced.
No decision has been made regarding the use to be made of the 77th. A high ranking officer of the medical corps said the Kansas City outfit probably would not be called upon for service in the Pacific.
U.S. Halts Chicago Strike; Seize Trucks
Chicago — The government announcement that it would take over Chicago's strike - bound trucking lines which have halted work of 6-500 truck drivers for a week saw the work stoppage near an end.
The War Labor board told the striking members of the Independent Chicago Truck Drivers Union that it would review the industry's wage problems when work is resumed.
"These trucking lines with about 20,000 employees handling vitally needed war and civilian goods have been unable to operate for nearly a week because of a labor disturbance.

This year, the club named the late Charles H. Sessions, former managing editor of the Topeka Daily Capital, to the hall of fame. His picture is to be placed in the University's journalism building beside that of the 27 men previously honored.
The Quarter Century club began its activities in 1931 when the department of journalism established it and asked the editors of 25 years (continued to page three)

Himmler Dead; Takes Own Life
BULLETIN International News Service

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 24.1945
Kansan Comments Doubts of Today May Decrease Chances of Peace for Tomorrow
The night before he died, President Roosevelt wrote, "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith." Every person who now is sick of war, who years for a guarantee of peace, must heed those words, for only those who are not in doubt as to what they want and who are determined to secure what they want ever bring into reality their goals.
For many idealistic individuals, the San Francisco conference has spelled failure. In less than one month they expected all immediate solution to the problem which has faced civilization since its beginnings—the problem of eliminating wars. They condemn and mistrust representatives at San Francisco, not stopping to consider that they themselves are equally responsible for the outcome of all plans made for peace.
The first step toward insuring success at San Francisco, is to be individually informed. Only by knowing what is taking place, how our nation stands with regard to other nations in the various issues involved, can we know whether our country is taking the right course of action. The United States must be faithful to its ideals and it must not accept a sham, undemocratic, international organisation which cannot prevent war. The people are the deciding factor. They still hold the reins on their representatives. Letters, votes, and polls will tell those representatives if they are following the wishes of those whom they represent.
We must not assume that peace cannot be won for our children and their succeeding generations. We must be determined as individuals that it shall be done. Instead of distrusting the actions of other countries which we do not understand, we must take time to investigate the reasons behind their actions so that we do understand. Perhaps we will discover that it was our country which was unfair.
Instead of turning our backs on San Francisco because its results seemingly have been inconsequential, we must individually take the responsibility of seeing that no mistakes are made this time. Doubting that this can be done is the shortest way to World War III—J.V.

The recent Kansas legislature, passed an act relating to county coroners, the disposition of dead bodies, and expenses of burial, amending prior sections of the law.

Any coroner or his deputy who, over the protest of the immediate family or next of kin of the deceased, delivers or causes to be delivered the body of a deceased person to a particular undertaker or funeral establishment, shall be deemed guilty of a me demeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $1,000 and upon conviction shall forfeit his office.

Every two years the ballots go to all the editors in the state and they are asked to say if they have yet reached the 25-year mark. If so, their returned ballots are counted in the election. Otherwise, they become nomination ballots.
Each year the department of journalism sends to club members a ballot containing the names of Kansas writers who have died during the third year preceding, plus the names of some 15 or more who died earlier and who each year have received several votes for the hall of fame.
Some years the editors have elected only one, other years two or three to the hall of fame.

Rodriquez, Spanish Instructor Knows a 'Wolf' in Two Languages
Mario Rodriguez is learning English fast. In fact, he can even point out the differences between a Latin-American "wolf" and the United States kind.
"In South America we call him a 'tenorios,' the black-haired Costa Rican explained. "Don Juan Tenorio was a 'novel' figure—I mean he was not real, but a character in a book, who liked to make senoritas fall in love with him."
"A man who is like him we call a 'tenorios,' he concluded. That's a wolf then—Spanish style. Media Group."
Mario Came Here Last October
Mario came to K.U. from San Jose, Costa Rica, last October as an assistant instructor in the Spanish department, where he is a first-lass example of his "direct method" of learning.
"We learn better by experience," he said in nearly perfect English with a heavy Spanish accent. "If I do not know what something is I ask someone, 'How do you call that in English?' Then when I am told I have had the experience and remember."
Stand by Is Little Black Book
Mario's little black book is his in-fairable aid in understanding college slang. Don't be surprised to hear him say that some "slick chick" has been "polishing the apple," or humming "Don't Fence Me In" with a Latin-American rhythm.
Whenever he hears a new expression, down it goes in his pocket-sized notebook, to be reviewed that night and tried out the next day.
Besides phrases such as "what's cooking?" and "take it easy," Mario jots down sentences like "How much postage is necessary?" for future use. Have Fewer Intimacies in Costa Rica
"In Costa Rica we have slang words but we speak more formally to acquaintances and become intimate only with our very, very good friends," he observed.
Mario recalled that the first month at K.U. was the hardest.
Besides, everything was not new to Mario. North American boogie-woogie and hot dog stands have penetrated across the border, he explained.
"Everything was very strange," he said, "But I had read many books about the United States and the students were so friendly that I soon could understand what was said."
San Jose Is Like Kansas City
"San Jose is like Kansas City, only smaller," he said. "Costa Ricans like American boys and when they are at dances we play slow music for them," he added, as he sang a slow Spanish song very similar to those on my juke box.
"Besides," Mario continued, "everyone studies English in Costa Rica all through high school, and teachers are even trying to get it into the elementary schools. We combine grammar and conversation, so I knew the logic of what was said, but not all the words."
Mario is interested in politics and intends to return to San Jose some day and enter into that field.
"But you cannot learn about the United States in one year," he said. Thinking Language Is a Problem
Mario still gets perplexed at times, though.
"I am getting to speak and think in English," he said, sounding puzzled, "but when I am resting I am in troubles. I do not know which language to think in."
Rainfall Totals 2.21; Floods Threaten Area
Flood conditions are threatening Lawrence again as heavy rains, totaling 2.21 inches, have poured down after a forecast yesterday of "light showers."
The Kaw river is at 18.3 feet and still rising, according to reports received here today. The river bed limit is 24 feet and it is expected that the river will overflow in the lowlands tonight.
The rain started before 8 o'clock this morning and continued steadily until noon. The Wakarusa river south of the city was overflowing its banks in low places this afternoon
The crest of 25 feet is expected to reach Topeka at midnight and 22 feet is the maximum the river is expected to reach at Lawrence.
Charles W. Wright Is Campus Visitor
Lt. Charles W. Wright, Marine-corpsman and a graduate of the School of Fine Arts in 1941, was a visitor on the campus yesterday.
He will leave soon for Camp Pendleton, Calif., where he will be stationed.
Lieutenant Wright was on Guadalcanal as a pharmacist mate in the navy. He transferred to the marine corps and was sent to the United States where he went through marine boot camp and later to officers school.

New Era in Sports; G.I.'s Return
New Era in Sports; G.I.'s Return
Sports are destined for a new golden era after the war, if the army's special services division athletic training program is as popular with the G.I.'s as the Army expects it to be.
More than 75 per cent of the men in inactive European theaters are expected to choose sports for the main part of their new "duty" which must be selected from the S.S.D. three part program of training in theatrical entertainment, music, arts and crafts; sports and games; and education.
New Champions
As a result of the S.S.D. athletic program which provides enlisted men and officers alike training in all popular competitive sports and a comprehensive course in the functions and methods of the athletic coach, new champions in every field of sports will undoubtedly be developed and the net will be a more glorious sports era than that which followed the last war.
Groups of top-flight civilian professional coaches organized in this country last winter, are now in Europe teaching the G.L.s the fine points of everything from ping-pong to football.
Suppliers Will Benefit
"Such a vast project will have its home-front impact too." points out the current issue of Liberty magazine, for "upward of ten million dollars have been allocated to buy athletic equipment, all of which must be produced in this country. This means that the Army is absorbing about 90 per cent of the present output of our sporting goods industry."
If the G.I. who thinks he's a sprinter turns out to be a gold-briller and loafs down the track every day, and proves equally inapt at all other sports, he will be dropped from the sports program and urged to take up one of the other programs where he has a better chance of success. But every effort will be made to develop men who show special aptitude in sports.
Obstacle Courses for All
While we're on the theme of things to come, here's something that Naval trainees and army veterans will "read 'n weep." Bernie Bierman, head football coach at Minnesota, says that the setting of physical fitness standards will be an integral part of post war development in physical education programs for high school, college and university students, and that a standardized "obstacle course" may prove the solution.
Coach Bierman, who was an officer in the Marines for nearly three years before receiving a discharge last October said, "We learned as a result of our physical training program at Iowa Preflight school that any individual's degree of physical fitness may be accurately measured by his performance on a well-planned obstacle course."
Alumnus Promoted At Personnel School
Leo W. Rhodes, '40, was promoted last week to the rank of captain at the School for Personnel Services, Lexington, Va. He is stationed there as personnel officer and assistant adjutant of the school.
Nine separate courses are taught at the school. More than 1,000 military personnel, men and women, both officers and enlisted men are enrolled in these courses.
Last month the school was awarded the Meritorious Service Unit plaque by Maj. Gen. Joe N. Dalton, director of personnel, ASF.
Captain Rhodes entered the army in April, 1942. His wife, the former Adelyn Cast, is with him in Lexington.
Second Round Swim Entries Are Announced
Two PT's, 5 and 9, have turned in their entries for the second round of the B-bracket V-12 intramural swimming tournament in the Robinson gymnasium pool Friday, Chief G. W. Gathings, director of the V-12 athletic program, said today. PT 7, originally a contestant, will not be represented because the team forfeited the first round Monday.
In the three-lap free style relay, the entries for PT 9 are Leroy Robison, Emmett Sullivan, and J. W. Blanton. Robison is the third class swimmer and will race the first lap, 100 feet. Sullivan, the second class entrant, will swim the 200-foot lap, and Blanton, the firstclass swimmer will make the final 300-foot lap.
The diving contest will match W. F. Burgess and Dud Day, both of PT 9 against the PT 5 entries, who are vet unannounced.
Three styles of dive will be compulsory for each contestant, and a fourth will be optional. The dives will be judged for form on a basis of the difficulty of each style. Required dives are the swan, the back dive, and the lackknife.
PT 5's entries in the free style relay are George Darsie, second class; J. W. Riich; first class, with the third class entry unannounced.
The scoring for all events is on a basis of five for a first place, three for a second, and one for a third. At the end of the first round competition, PT 5 was in the lead, but a tie for first in the under-water race remains to be run off between T. L. Batchelder of PT 5, and Vance Reynolds, PT 9.
Board to Interview Activities Applicants
Twelve applicants for president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer of the Union Activities commission will be interviewed at 4:30 p.m. Monday in the English room of the Union building by the Union Operating board.
Members of the Union operating committee are Henry Werner, dean of student affairs; Hermina Zipple, director of the Union food service; Elizabeth Meguiar, dean of women; Ogden Jones, of the geology water laboratory; J. O. Jones, dean of the School of Engineering; Donald Cousins, V-12 junior; Doris Marie Bixby, College senior; and Eugenia Hepworth, Fine Arts junior.
Selections will be made then from the applicants, Eugenia Hepworth, president of the Union activities, said.

University Graduate Gets Seven Planes On Last Mission
Capt. Ray E. Hartley, '42, has been credited with the destruction of seven German planes in his last mission over Germany, according to word received by friends here. Three of the planes were shot down in the air; the other four were destroyed on the ground.
A member of the 351st fighter squadron, Captain Hartley was a psychology major at the University. His home is in Kansas City, Mo. He completed his initial 95 missions in Italy, and was transferred to Germany after a leave at home.

Band Will Give Spring Concert Monday in Hoch
The formal band concert will take place 8 p.m. Monday, in Hoch Auditorium, Russell L. Wiley, associate professor of band, announced today
Highlight of the program will be "America" by Ernest L. Williams, an American composer, Professor Wiley said. It is Indian themes interwoven with a hint of jazz, and the organ joins in climax with "America the beautiful."
Eugene Arnold, band president, will play a cornet solo, "Bride of the Waves" by Herbert L. Clarke. Doris Turney, violinist who recently gave her senior recital, will play "Cubana" by David Bennett. Eight clarinetes will play in unison "Concertino" by C. M. von Weber.
Margaret Snodgras will play the organ for "America," and "Mannin Veen," a Manx tone poem by Haydn Wood will be presented.
Included in the concert will be one opera overture, several marches, and several modern pieces by American and English composers.
Three hundred ninety-three members from 29 organized houses joined the Americans United for World Organization in the two day drive, Patricia Graham, acting chairman, announced today.
Americans United Lists 393 Members From 29 Houses
With the weatherman's promise of a sunny weekend, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, Health director of Watkins Memorial hospital, wants to give his annual warning to enthusiast sun bathers.
Last Monday, after two days of sunshine, six students suffering from severe cases of sunburn were admitted to the hospital.
The report of membership on the campus will not be complete until Tuesday, because 11 of the houses have not yet reported. Unorganized students are told they may join by notifyng Prof. H. B. Chubb or Patricia Graham, Corbin hall.
"These beautiful tans are very becoming," said Dr. Canuteson, "but they should be acquired gradually and not at three-hour periods. The sunbather should not stay out in the sun more than 15 or 20 minutes at first and then the time should be lengthened gradually and at regular intervals.
Houses with top memberships are Kappa Alpha Theta, 29, Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Chi Omega, 25, and Tipperary. 22, Miss Graham expects at least 150 more to join by next week.
The organized houses also chose their permanent delegates to the mock peace conference which the Americans United organization will sponsor next fall. Each house will represent one country at the peace conference. Each delegate is allowed to bring six preferences as to the country his house wishes to represent and present these preferences at a meeting of all the delegates Monday afternoon.
Canuteson Issues Annual "Sun Bathing" Warning to Students
Allen Receives German Sword
A German dress sword was received this morning by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen from Capt. John Piftsch, who received his master of arts degree in education at the University in 1942.
No letter accompanied the package, so Dr. Allen does not know how Captain Pitsch acquired the saber.
Captain Pfitsch, who is with an anti-aircraft artillery group in Germany, is formerly of San Antonio, Texas, and received his bachelor of arts degree at Texas university in 1940.
While at K.U., Captain Pfitsch was active in intramural sports, Dr. Allen said. He captained a team known as Pfitsch's Pfeugerville Flashes.
Pierson Will Give Senior Violin Recital Sunday in Fraser
Helen Pierson, violinist and pupil of Waldemar Geltch, will appear in the second of three senior violin reitals in Fraser theater at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Miss Pierson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence N. Pierson, Lawrence, has won high honors in the field of music. While in high school, she received a first rating in both district and national music contests. Her earlier violin study was done under Conrad McGrew.
At the University she has taken a prominent place in musical events and for the past year has been concertmaster of the University Symphony orchestra. She has appeared in recitals here, as well as in Omaha, Topeka, and Leavenworth.
She is a member of Mortar board, Pi Kappa Lambda, honorary national scholastic society, and Mu Phi Epsilon, national music sorority. She is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha social sorority.
Yolande Meek, who recently gave her senior recital in piano, will accompany Miss Pierson.
'Forts' Return To Bomb Tokyo Twice in 3 Days
International News Service
B-29 super fortresses in very large force returned to Tokyo today to rain devastating firebombs on the Japanese capital for the second time in three days.
Professor Mattern explained that when he saw the downpour he decided that the trip would be postponed, but when Mr. Tnapp, one of the women's fathers, who was to drive the truck, showed up and the women said they wouldn't mind getting a "little" damp, he felt that it would be all right to go ahead and make the trip. "Besides," he said, "I got to ride in the cab of the truck all the way."
The armada concentrated its latest devastation in the modern Marun-uchi district, so near to the imperial palace that the Mikado's residence probably shuddered with concussion from the explosives.
The latest assault, announced the war department, was similar in size to the 550 plane raid on Tokyo Wednesday when 4,500 tons of incendiary bombs were dropped on the city in the greatest attack in the Pacific air war.
Cowling Appointed New Dance Manager
Robert Cowling, Engineering senior, has been appointed varsity dance manager for the school year, 1945-46. Persis Snook, acting president of the All-Student Council, has announced.
About 500 of the giant bombers carried out the attack on the target area, just north of the Shinagawa sector which still smolders from the record-smashing raids of May 24.
Mr. Cowling will succeed Mariette Bennett, College junior, wha has been manager during the past semester.
'Nelson Gallery or Bust' Is Fine Arts Motto, Rain or Shine
The students were very well protected. They had a tarpaulin covering them which was completely waterproof—in spots, and not more than 24 of them got wet.
He was chosen by the social committee of the All-Student Council, Miss Snook said, and will take charge of the activities immediately.
Washington, (INS)—The OPA today was reported planning a sharp cut in sugar supplies to industry. Manufacturers will receive only half or less of the 1944 supply.

Plenty of Gas For All With 'A's Up to 6 Gallons
Remember when you used to drive in a filling station and say 'Till 'er up'—back in the days of Sunday drivers and plenty of tires?
Then remember when the gasoline supply began dwindling and you started walking to the corner grocery instead of driving the car that half-block?
Along with restrictions on how often Junior could have the car for dates came "A" stickers and gas coupons and closed-down service stations.
—And four gallons of gas a week.
That meant instead of driving in and telling the attendant to fill up the tank, you said, "Four gallons, please," if you were lucky.
but beginning June 22, motorists can heave a sigh of relief—because the four-gallon days of a two-front war are over.
Next month "A" card holders can dream of feeling like a one-car family again, instead of mere pedestrians. Next month gasoline rations increase 50 per cent.
Of course when you think about it, 50 per cent of four gallons still isn't a tankful.
But you can drive in and say, "Fill 'er up—with about six gallons, please," anyway.
Independents to Elect President, Chairman At Meeting Thursday
Election of officers of the Independent organization will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, in the Men's lounge of the Union building, the elections committee announced today.
Officers to be elected are president of the organization, and chairmen of the activity, welfare, and political divisions.
Petitions signed by 50 students will be submitted for candidates for president. These are to be turned in to the Independent office by 5 p.m. Wednesday. The candidates will be voted on at the mass meeting.
Other officers will not need petitions, but will be nominated from the floor Thursday night.
Also at the meeting, a change of the Independent constitution will be discussed.
Members of the elections committee are Jack Nichols, chairman; Anna Marie Stevens, Mary Jo Cox, Lee Alexander, Eugene Casement, and Elaine Thalman.
steamer. Near a Mexican village where the ship had stopped, it caught fire and burned completely. The family lost all its clothing, and Dr. Stirton's scientific equipment was ruined.
Burning Ship Does Not Stop Dr. Stirton, '25, on Fossil Hunt
Mrs. Stirton and their son returned to Horton to live with her family while Dr. Stirton, "with his shirt hanging out," went on to Columbia.
But with the aid of the Geological Service of Columbia and six major oil companies who were interested in finding the geological date of certain lands, Dr. Stirton obtained funds, equipment, and Personnel and after nine months of working in the field, he has returned to America.
World Crises Shouldn't Bluff Marriage-Foster
Not even a burning ship could stop Dr. R. A. Stirton, '25, curator of vertebrate fossils at the University of California, on his trip to Columbia, South America, to search for fossils leading to important discoveries about the migration of vertebrate animals from North to South America. Dr. Stirton gave an illustrated lecture yesterday to the Zoology club.
In 1834 Dr. Stirton's curiosity was aroused by seeing two small fossils from the bad lands near the Magdeleena river. He received the 1945 Guggenheim Fellowship which made the trip possible.
Last fall he left Los Angeles with his wife and son on an Argentina
"The world is always at the brink of aprecipice and marriage cannot wait for a time when there is no crisis," Dr. Robert G. Foster stressed today in his convocation speech in Hoch auditorium.
Dr. Foster, who is director of the family life department at the Merill-Palmer school in Detroit, spoke on "Making Marriage Work," and at 11 a.m. in the Memorial Union building answered questions to interested students. His speech was the beginning of a two day conference on Personality for Successful Living. Dean Paul B. Lawson introduced the speaker as a "consultant of hundreds of thousands on marriage problems."
"The future is no different from the past or the present," he said. "And it is a question of the suitability of the match; whether it can meet what happens in war, depression or inflation."
He believes that marriage to the returning servicemen should be held off for a period of three months since there is a maximum number of women, which will cause hasty decisions. Men will also be too quick to settle down and will not be so careful in the choice of a mate.
In pointing out what makes marriage succeed and fail, Dr. Foster explained that there are many erroneous and contradictory theories put forth by authors. For example the overrated idea that twin beds are the cause of family disorganization or the conflicting belief that money is either a depressing or saving influence on family life.
"For a successful marriage people must decide first, whom they are to marry, not just the first one to come

War bond and stamp sales by the Coed Volunteer Corps for the Seventh War Loan drive have reached $399.50. Beverly Waters, chairman, said today.
Of the total, $200 in bonds have been sold.
To the first two days' sales of $267.10 has been added $122.40, of which $75 was bonds bought by students.
C.V.C. Bond Sales Reach $399.50 Total
The booths in Frank Strong and Fraser halls will close at 4:30 today, ending the C. V. C.'s part in the campus campaign.
Women's Pan-hellenic council is also selling bonds and stamps in the drive.
Although the bond campaign in Douglas county in which the campus campaign is included moved slowly this week, it made sure progress.
Spirited competition was being shown in the Retail division's contest which will end at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The results of the contest will be announced at 9 p.m. from the stage of the Jayhawker theater. Arrangements to give the announcement simultaneously from the other theaters have been made and there will be loud speakers in front of each theater to announce results to those who gather there, according to manager Stanley Schwan.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 25, 1945
Kansan Comments Is the New Activity Point System The Real Answer for Leadership?
The activity point system should be analyzed in the light of its possible effect upon student life as it approaches the All-Student Council for its third and final reading. So far debate in Council has centered around the mechanics of the bill rather than on its advisability.
Exponents of the bill claim that by limiting participation of students in organizations and restricting the number of offices one may hold more leadership will be developed. With deadwood cut away, the organizations are to be infused with new life.
The need of more leadership and new life in organizations is a real one but is the activity point system the answer or does it just seem to be the easy way out? Will it actually accomplish these things?
Will it clear organizations of driftwood or will it cause a concentration of more capable students in certain groups with a consequent drying up or weakening of smaller organizations? Will it create leadership merely by making a place for it or would it be better to make an effort to get all students to participate actively in organizations and do away with the choice of the same person for any number of offices? Most of all, would it create the feeling of responsibility in choosing activities?
Students at the University have been struggling for generations to be recognized as adults. They have pleaded for the responsibilities which should be theirs as such. They have been jealous of any infringement on their freedom.
Does it not seem like backsliding, then, to impose a system of regimentation which admits that students do not have enough brains to limit their own activities? Can we ever again honestly petition for more voice in our affairs if we accept such childish limitations?—S.R.E.

Spring, ah spring. The season when a young man's fancy nightly turns to thoughts.
Spring — pinchcseason. Typica preparatory conversation:
"What ya' gonna' wear?"
"Jeans."
"What ya' gonna' wear?"
"Jeans."
"Gooh, what'll poor Jean wear?"
"Gosh, what'll poor Jean wear?"

"Learn to be a good husband and a good wife by being a considerate and interested companion," he said. "Wives should make their husbands feel that they are the biggest spot on the map. Inflate his ego." he added.
The first year of marriage is the most important one he warned, because it is then that a couple is confronted with meeting every type of problem and making all plans for future life. It is then that a man and woman must learn the art of quarreling successfully.
In conclusion he emphasized that the returning soldier will not be changed in his basic living patterns, for they are permanent. His advice is that since men are going to be men, regardless of certain, disabilities, live life, assuming that it can be normal.

Robinson Pool To Be Rebuilt
Plans have been drawn for a proposed remodeling of the pool in Robinson gymnasium and work is expected to begin as soon as materials are available, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, chairman of the physical education department, revealed this week.
The pool will be lengthened 10 feet, the floor sloped to give a graduated depth, a tiled scum gutter and curbing installed, and lanes for competition will be marked, according to the plans.
Dr. Allen said that the project has been in preparation for about a year, and that the blueprints, prepared by Roy Stuckey, state architect, and George Marshall, assistant, are now in the hands of Prof. Leonard H. Axe, director of University services.
The proposed extension will make the pool 60-feet long, the minimum regulation length for competition.
Teaching of swimming will be facilitated by the graduated depth provided for in the new plans. At present, with no variation in depth, there is no shallow water for beginning swimmers, except when the level is lowered for that purpose.
The pool as now used was built into the gymnasium in 1912 under the direction of Dr. James Naismith who was the head of the physical education department at that time.

Former Student, Liberated from Germany, Writes of 'Old Glory' Flying Over Moosberg
The sight of the stars and stripes flying over Moosberg was the greatest thrill of liberation. Lt. Robert Fenton, Lawrence, wrote Mrs. L. E. Fenton, his mother, on his recent liberation from a German prison camp.
Mrs. Fenton, who is auditor at the Eldridge hotel, received two letters and a cablegram Wednesday from Lieutenant Fenton, the first personal word she had had from him since Dec. 30.
Mrs. Fenton first heard of her son's liberation in a telegram from the secretary of war, May 17, which was followed by a Red Cross message the next day.
A Day to Be Remembered
"You will no doubt be as happy as I," Lieutenant Fenton said. "When I tell you that I am well in every way. I cannot describe to you how elated we were when our troops streamed through the gate. We shouted, danced, and cried. It will be a day I'll long remember. The flag was raised only a matter of minutes after the last shot was fired."
Lieutenant Fenton's cablegraph stated that he was in Paris and hoped to be home soon. A V-mail received yesterday said that he was in France at a base for recovered military personnel.
Expects to Be Home in June
Lieutenant Fenton who was a student at the University in 1938 and 1939, entered the service in January, 1942, and was a bombardier on a B-17 when he was taken prisoner Nov. 13, 1943.
In a letter to his older brother, who is in the navy, Lieutenant Fenton wrote, "Td be solid wood between the earphones, if I hadn't learned something through these experiences. I may sound like an oldster talking to a youngster, but I know that what you have to do is take these things and like them."
Took Academic Subjects
"I expect to be home before June 15, at least," he wrote. "As near as I can learn, I will be shipped to Ft. Leavenworth."
Lieutenant Fenton wrote his mother that while in camp he was taking German, Spanish, psychology, calculus, and photography. The Red

Lieutenant Fenton wrote his mother often that he wished to continue his education which he had interrupted before the war.
The prisoners at Stalag Luft III, a camp for army air corps officers where Lieutenant Fenton was during most of his imprisonment, was apparently well-treated, Mrs. Fenton said. The men did their own cooking, cleaning, and sewing.

Truman Calls For Landon, Dewey
(International News Service)
Truman gave every indication today that he is going to draw on every American political thought to run the nation at home and abroad.
After he conferred with former president Hoover on the feeding of war stricken Europe, the chief executive announced that he is inviting two other outstanding Republicans to the White House, Thomas E. Dewey of New York and former governor Alfred Landon of Kansas.
Representative John Rankin (d) $ \textcircled{4} $
Mississippi proposed in the House that Hoover be invited to reorganize the government's entire food machinery. Said Rankin: "He knows more about the food situation than any other man who has anything to do with the subject."
This was the first time former president Hoover had been in the White House since he left it March 4, 1933, to drive to the capital to attend the inauguration of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, his successor.

Last Conference Given by Miss Helda Saturday Morning
"Appearance is one way to express your personality." Miss Mauri Helda, chairman of the personal appearance program of Stephens college and former Power's model, told University women in Fraser theater Saturday morning. Miss Helda's talk on "Do's and don'ts of Dress and Manners" was the last in the conference series on "personality for Successful Living."
"Personal appearance improvement is not an end in itself, but a means to enable one to meet daily experiences successfully," asserted Miss Helda. Looks will slip into the background when a woman has acquired the ability to make the most of herself, she said.
"Etiquette is really a matter of being kind and considerate, but knowledge of what to do helps to give one command of the situation," the speaker said.
Miss Helda stressed health, cleanliness, and good posture as basic factors in a good appearance, and suggested that college women should be more careful to get proper rest.
"Being well-dressed is not a matter of money but of intelligence," the speaker emphasized. "Follow the rule of subtraction in using accessories."
Betty Jo Eeverly introduced Miss Holda. Techniques of dress, makeup, and hair styling were demonstrated with the help of Marilyn Carlson, Nancy Goering, LaVerne Keeven, and Patricia Glover.

Miss Sealy, suggested that the individual job hunter, survey the kinds of jobs available in her own field and then plan a campaign to get the position that looks suitable.
The speakers attended a student coffee in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Fifty guests attended.

Okinawa Cracks As Japs Reported Leaving Area
(International News Service)
The final phase of the battle for Okinawa, bloodiest in the Pacific war, appeared clearly in sight today.
Official announcement told of the withdrawal of Jap garrison troops from strong points of the Naha lines. Dispatches described it as crumbling.
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz announced that Jap troops were moving south of the fortress city of Shuri, and were brought under fire by mass attacks of warships and planes of the United States Pacific fleet. Japs were killed by the hundreds Saturday. Planes Locate Enemy Position
Battleships, cruisers and other units of the fleet were notified of the enemy's maneuvering by patrol planes soaring over the front. Immediately the men of war brought their naval rifles to bear.
The Japs have been using their cave positions as mainstays for their stubborn defenses.
The Seventh division sent three combat patrols forward, one of which reached a town two and one-half miles from Yonaharu. McWilliams said that the Yanks met only 20 Japs but that the rest fled into hills leaving large supplies behind them. Torrential rains continued.
Mustangs Attack Jap Homeland
American Mustang fighter planes, led by three B-29s harassed the Jap homeland today, strafed and bombed airfields in the vicinity of Tokyo on the east coast of Honshu for 40 minutes around noon today—(Jap time). In Washington, meanwhile, war department officials estimated that 40 square miles of Tokyo were wrecked or burned by U.S. superfortresses. The devastated area is roughly twice the size of Manhattan Island, and less than nine miles the area of San Francisco.
Nimitz announced also that Pacific fleet carrier planes staged neutralization raids against Jap airdromes in the Sakishima islands and struck at other installations on the northern Ryukyus. Five enemy planes were downed and seven enemy surface vessels were destroyed .
Houses Give Choice Of Countries Today
Betty Bixby, chairman of the spring organization for the conference, will preside at the meeting.
Delegates from most of the organized houses on the campus will meet at 4:30 p.m. today in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, to discuss plans for the mock world peace conference to be held next fall.
Each delegate will present a list of six countries which his house prefers to represent in the conference. These preferences will be presented later to a committee who will decide finally the country that each house will represent. Countries will be appointed according to the size of the houses.

That situation is the result of freely-running condemnation of the Soviet Union by critics who either do not know the truth, or deliberately disregard it. They go around yeling that we are being pushed around by Russia, and that "we might as well lick them, too, while we're at it."
Now this state of affairs, if it were not for its serious implications, would be almost ludicrous. We have not the slightest grounds for war against Russia, nor any reason or desire for such a war. Neither of us has any territory the other wants; there have been absolutely no "incidents" of any kind; and at the meeting of the two armies in Germany, it was amply demonstrated that there is an inclination between our people to get along together admirably.
Certainly Russia has adequate reason for suspicion of the western world. Until Germany's attack on her, all the western countries treated Russia with superciliousness, unfriendliness, and even contempt. Some of us may have thought there was good reason for such treatment.
True enough, our methods of effecting political change are different, and our economic systems highly divergent. The fact remains, however, that the Soviets saved many lives for the Western Allies at the expense of their own, and shortened the war appreciably. Certainly, we cannot attain our laudable goal of a civilized family of nations by considering Russia a stepchild.
Undoubtedly Marshal Stalin will, after a period, be inclined to relax his suspicion and questioning attitude. It is up to us to bring about his trust as soon as possible. A helpful state of mind would be to imagine our own leaders in his position. As long as we regard skepticism a normal American trait, we might as well look upon it as a healthy sign in Russia, too.
There is no doubt that the forthcoming meeting of the Big Three which is projected by Mr. Truman will accomplish much today calming Stalin's misgivings. We need not yield to Russia's every demand; diplomacy doesn't work that way. Neither should we expect her to accept any less security than she feels is necessary. There is certainly a happy medium. We must realize which differences are superficial and concentrate upon the eradication of those which are not—T.M.

Letters to the Editor
We are to have an all-University quiz file.
We can see the library one hundred years hence. The shelves are lined with volumes of old quizzes, some dating back as far as 1945. We take down a rare old edition, thumb through it—Inorganic Chemistry II, Davidson, spring semester, 1945, Vol. IV, Call No. 660, D142. It is dogeared and worn. There is talk of removing it from circulation. We move on to the new quiz shelf and look over a few recent quizzes by contemporary professors. None of them, however, come up to the high standards set in the Twentieth Century—the golden age of quiz writers.
There are no books in the library, there are no students; it is early in the semester. The few librarians are idle but there are several statisticians busy computing quiz grade averages relative to the number of old quizzes studied, and plotting these on graphs. There is one long-haired, lank, bespectacled student sitting at a table reading what appears to be a book. The librarians are curious. "Where did he get that book?" they say. "Must be a mental case."
After four weeks a throng of students presses into the library. There are not enough chairs. They stand about the walls, lean against the radiators, all feverishly studying last semester's quizzes. Then they leave and don't come back for another four weeks. This all began with the 1945 Student Council's "bring quiz files to the masses" movement.
Seriously, we think it is very fine of the Council to attempt to eliminate the unfair situation now existing on the campus, in which some students have access to old quizzes, papers, and reports, and some don't. Now nobody will have to study, for it is a fact that among the numerous discouragements to studying, quiz files rank high.
It may be, however, that with an official quiz file, professors will begin to change their questions and assignments thus making a more equitable and sound system all around.
Information about permanent positions in the Kansas City vicinity are available in the office of men's student affairs, room 228 Frank Strong hall, Dean Henry Werner announced.

Lt. Allphin, Liberated Arrives in New York
--his nickname of "Van" forever. So, during one of the intramural games last week, "Toughie" Burwell hit a single to right field, which the fielder missed. Just as Jim approached third base, he saw the ball whizizing his way, so he very calmly stopped it with his head, bouncing the ball about fifty feet, while old "Toughie" came in for a homer.
Lt. Robert C. Allphin, Lawrence,
University student in 1939 and 1940,

Sportorials
By LOREN KING
Carl Hird, Sr., father of the football players, Wayne and Carl, Jr. shot a black squirrel this winter on his farm six miles west of Lawrence.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, saw the tanned hide Saturday and, remembering a controversy that raged in the Kansas City Star's sports column a few years ago as to the existence of a reported black squirrel, he wrote the Star's sports editor, C. E. McBride, describing Mr. Hird's rare prize.
"The squirrel is jet black with a tan abomen," Dr. Allen said today. "I asked him what he thought he was shooting. He said he thought it was a civil cat. It was partly hidden by a branch, and he wondered how it could have been in a tree if it was a civil cat."
Carl Jr. played football for Kansas in 1942 and is now in the navy. The brothers played against each other when Olathe Naval Air station played here the past fall. Carl was the captain for the Clippers, playing tackle. Wayne played at center for the Jayhawkers.
Large Scale Evacuations Threaten Army Athletic Program
In the eyes of the Star's McBride, incidentally, the great sports program which has been underway in the European area for several months may be wasted.
The speed with which the soldiers in Europe are being returned home or transferred to the Pacific war is the cause of the writer's concern. The program will have to be curtailed if it is carried on.
Two former Kansas coaches, Bill Hargiss and Dean Nesmith, are mentioned as among those who have been engaged in coaching army men who in turn would take over the work in the post-war days of the occupation period.
One result McBride sees of the intensified coaching program, that has been going on is that it will make the returning soldiers more athletic-minded in the golden age following the war with Japan. Big Ten Commissi
Ten Commissioner Will Be Boss While the Big Six conference considers the question of a commissioner to run the show, here what's doing in the Big Ten. Its new commissioner, Kenneth L. "Tug" Wilson, has been given virtually unlimited powers and is expected to crack down on subsidizing athletes.
After six months' debate, the faculty committee and athletic directors gave Wilson, successor to the Late John L. Griffith, the authority to enforce legislation regarding eligibility, and to determine whether athletes have been "recruited."

McComas Awarded Silver Star for Gallantry
The Silver Star for "gallantry in action," has been awarded to Lt. Col. Edward O. McComas, former squadron commander in the "Flying Tigers," fighter group of the Fourteenth air force, by Maj. Gen. C. L. Ghennault, commanding general of the Fourteenth.
Colonel McComas, whose home is in Winfield, Kans., was a student at the University in 1940 before he entered the AAF.
Managers to Meet To Schedule Play-off
Intramural managers will meet with Ray Kanehl, assistant director of intramurals, in room 203 Robinson gymnasium at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Dates for remaining make up games in the softball tourney and for the championship playoff will be decided, and future intramural events will be discussed.
George March To Be Independence Official
George M. March, associate engineer in the University water laboratory, has been employed as the first city manager of Independence, according to an Independence city commission announcement.
Mr. March said that he was resigning his position as sanitary engineer for the Kansas Board of Health. He was not certain of the date he would assume his new duties but the family, including Mrs. March and their daughter, Jo Anna, plans to move to Independence in the near future.
He served as city manager of El Reno, Okla., for two years, leaving in 1939. Before joining the State Board of Health staff he was employed by Black and Veatch, Kansas City engineering firm, in construction of army camps and air bases. He was assistant engineer at Camp Robinson and Camp Chafee, Ark.; on air base projects at Jackson, Miss., and at the Independence air base for a year before returning to Lawrence to accept the post at the University.
Mr. March completed his work in the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1909.

Nation to Honor War Dead on Memorial Day
Tribute to the slain fighting men of this war will be uppermost in the minds of the majority of the American people tomorrow as they gather at the nation's cemeteries for appropriate music and memorial addresses.
Although it is a holiday in the United States, elsewhere in the Pacific islands, in Europe, in England, India, and China, only Americans will be paying tribute to those white crosses which mark the graves of many of their comrades so recently fallen.
Originally a memorial for Soldiers
The first purpose of Memorial Day or Decoration Day, as it is sometimes called, was to pay tribute to American soldiers who had died in the service of the country. In 1868 John A. Logan, then Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, appointed the day for army services to honor men killed in the Civil War Since then, it has come to the decoration of family graves as well.
Originally a Memorial for Soldiers
The day originated with the Southern states, but was officially appointed by General Logan. It has an added meaning then as Memorial day was the date of discharge of the last Union volunteer of the Civil Far.
Is Holiday in Most States
Tomorrow it will be observed as a holiday in all the states with the exceptions of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and North and South Carolina. Virginia will observe the day, but it will be called the "Confederate Memorial Day."
William Joyce Arrested by Allies
London — The arrest of William Joyce, the lord "Haw Haw" of nazi propaganda, by Allied forces was reported today in a Reuter dispatch from a British Second army front.
Joyce, during the war, used to broadcast tirades against the Allies by Nazi transmitters.

The highlight of the evening,
"Concertino," was played by Rudolf Carl, Orville Roberts, Wayne Patterson, Eric Ericson, John Burnau, Carol Terrill, Barbara Clark, and Alice Hobbs, clarinetists playing in unison.

"Cubana, South American Rhapsody" (Bennet) which featured Doris Turney, violin soloist, was one of the outstanding numbers on the program. Weinberger's "C zeeh Rhapsody" was given by the band with rigorous spirit.
Climaxing a year of early morning rehearsals and a customary dress rehearsal Sunday night from 7 to 12, the University band, directed by Russell Wiley, presented its annual spring concert last night.
After opening the program with the National anthem, the band played "Die Meistersinger Overture" (Wagner). "The Bride of the Waves" written by Clarke, and featuring Eugene Arnold, cornet soloist, followed the overture.
"Yesterday I received the illusion that I was once again in school," recently wrote Lt. William C. Cavert, who received the bachelor of arts degree in the University's economics department, to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, in telling of a lecture given by a German professor of history that he attended.
Attends Lecture in Germany
The lecture was given in a school room in central Germany to a group of officers on the development of Germany from Charlemagne to the present war, Lieutenant Cavert said.
Band Concert Present Climax To a Year's Practice Sessions
"The lecture followed the same trend of events that I had learned, with one exception." Lieutenant Calvert wrote. "I'm sure that Professor Patterson would never agree that every war the Germans have fought was forced upon them or that every German leader has been a great hero. For instance, 'Ludendorf and Von Hindenburg bought gallantly in the West but were defended by the superior numbers of allied tanks and men'.
Tokyo and Yokohama, twin cities on Tokyo bay, were seething today, one from American-set fires, and the other from a political upheaval in the Nipponese navy.

Some 450 American super-forts, flying with fighter escorts, touched off the huge fires in the industrial shipping centers of Yokahama.
"Hitler offered peace four times to France and England, he stated, but they chose war. Germany, he thinks, is a peace loving country."
"I asked one question, 'Why did America declare war on Germany?'

Jap Navy Commander Replaced
In Tokyo, the Jap ministry, obviously burned up over Nippon's failure to check the successful invasion of Okinawa, shook up its high command.
Admiral Soemu Toyoda was removed from the post as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese combined fleet, and was replaced as commander-in-chief of the over-all naval command and as commander of the naval escort command. The three posts were given to Vice-Admiral Ozawa, formerly vice-chief of the naval general staff and president of the naval staff college.
Still Battle for Shuri
The capital city of Naha, lying on the west coast of Okinawa was virtually captured by marines of the sixth division.
On Okinawa, meanwhile, the bloody battle for Shuri raged with undiminished fury despite adverse weather and terrain conditions. The Japs still resisted fiercely around this key stone bastion, which already was surrounded on three sides.
Gen. MacArthur's troops on northern Luzon heightened a pincers on several thousands of Jap troops on the villa verde area.
In China, Chinese forces battled along the approaches to Pinyang on a drive into Japan's lifeline to Indochina and Singapore.
Allen Awards Bonds At Theater Drawings
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, director of physical education, awarded seven prizes to the best salesmen in the retail division of the local Seventh War Loan drive last night at the Javawker theater.
First prize, a $100 bond, was awarded to Mrs. Wanda Edmonds, who sold bonds of a maturity value of $18.475.
Four winners of $100 bonds in the drawings after the retail awards were made by Johnnie Armel, Bert L. Williams, Kenneth Dougan, and Mrs. Bess Cooke. Twenty-seven $25 bonds were also given away.
The three local theaters were crowded to capacity for the drawings, with crowds gathering outside to hear the announcement of winners. Traffic in front of the Jayhawker theater at 9 p.m. was tied-up for several blocks.
The free bond drawing was the dimax to the first two weeks of the seventh War Loan drive, which will continue throughout the nation until fully 1.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 29, 1945
Kansan Comments Think of Tomorrow- What Does It Mean?
The soldier was sitting on the steps—smoking, and looking over the campus. It was good to be home again. Spring on Mt. Oread wiped away all the grim days of death and filth and foxholes.
It was then that Joe College, the crew-collegian, rushed up and joined the crowd in front of Ad, pulled out his cigarette, lit it, and threw down his match—hard. You could tell he was disregusted.
"Damn it, I'm in a bitter mood Tomorrow's Memorial day. So what? We go to classes. No mail; the stores close; but we gotta go to school.
"I'm sick and tired of this place. You come up here with just enough money to get board and room and cigaret, and then they beat your brains out from every side to get you to donate to silly stuff—some nursery deal over in England, some student service fund for preachers in China. And then you take your shirt off and give it to some dope in France.
"Sure glad I'll be out of this hole next year. No football games in the stadium; no football players. Another thing is the food up here. We've got as much right to steals as anybody. But where are they? Packed away in some big bastard's stomach, or else over in Europe.
"College is a hell of a mess. No fun any more—no big parties with name bands, Just books, and term papers, and quiz files. Those joes oversea—sure, they gotta take a lot, but they get a bang out of life."
rific bang out of life. Cartons to spare, plenty of beer and bourbon. And some other things.
He stumbled a little as he got up. It was hard to get used to a leg that wasn't your own, but he'd learn.
LETTER FROM—
(continued from page one)
He said, 'I am told it was because President Roosevelt had to do something to curtail unemployment, or have his party go out of power."
Nazis Belief Strong
Lieutenant Cavert said that the only significant thing that he learned that day was "that the middle aged, intellectual group of Germans have that staunch, block-headed nationalism which has been attributed to them; that they were and are enthusiastic Nazis. In my mind, it is no longer just the young people we must cope with, but everyone." Cavert Sees Some Alumni
In closing Lieutenant Calvert told the alumni secretary about some former University students that he had seen recently. They were Lt. Thomas O'Neil and Max L. Wymore, students in the School of Engineering from 1940 to 1943; Lt. Clare Colman, College student from 1940 to 1943; and George R. (Dick) Mankin, a graduate of the School of Engineering in 1943.

Martins and McCoys—or, the Sig Alphas and Sigma Chi's. For then big sweetheart dance Saturday night, the Sigs borrowed a hose from the Sig Alphas to supply their fountain in the back yard with water. About half of the party was planned outside, and the Sigs spent the afternoon working hard to get the yard in shape. Along came the big downpour about 5 p.m. and with it a phone call from the Sig Alphas saying, "Do you want to borrow another hose or have you got enough water over there?"
For the safety of women and children we suggest a stone wall between the two houses.

Assuring the journalists present that radio news can never supplant the newspaper but will always supplement it, Karl Koerper, '22, vice-president and managing director of KMBC, addressed 60 guests and staff members of the Daily Kansan at the annual Kansan Board dinner at the Colonial tea room last night.
The Council resolved to place the report of the Point System Committee, headed by Martha Ellen Wood-

British to Intervene In French Fight In Syria, Lebanon
London, (INS) — British foreign secretary Anthony Eden today told the house of commons that General Sir Bernard Paget, British commander in chief in the Middle East, had been ordered to intervene in Syria and the Lebanon in order to prevent further bloodshed. Eden told the house that the situation in Syria had deteriorated further with fighting between French and Syrian forces spreading throughout Damascus.
Cries of "shame" greeted Eden's recital of the bombing of Damascus by French airplanes. Eden said the Syrian governor of Hama had appealed to the British Ninth army to arrange an armistice so he can evacuate the many dead and wounded from his city.

Seniors to Have Cakewalk After 5-Year Blackout
The Senior Cakewalk will be on June 9.
Featuring Dutch Holland's band, the Cakewalk will be an informal dance this year—from 9 to 12 p.m. in the Military Science building, Mariette Bennett, University dance manager, announced.
Students "cakewalked" to the slide music of Will Osborne in the Union ballroom in 1940. The previous year Kay Kyser and his "Kollege" played for the Cakewalk in Hoch auditorium.
Until five years ago when the shortage of good bands, the shortage of men and just the general shortage caused it to put in a disappearance, the Cakewalk was the climax of a year's social activities.
Before 1925, the Cakewalk resembled a senior party more than a dance. These old parties were held in the gymnasium where the students recited readings, served punch and wafers, and waltzed a little on the side. In those days the Cakewalk was planned for the night of a full moon. After 1925, it was made an all-school dance, with the best dance band available.
Committee chairmen in charge of dance arrangements are Ruth Prentice, Robert Bayles, and Kathleen Hazen.
Margaret Kay Gave Recital Last Night
Margaret Kay, violinist from the studio of Waldemar Geltch, presented her senior recital last night in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
Miss Kay opened her program with "Intrada" (Desplanes-Nachez) followed by "Gavotte from the Sixth Sonata" (Bach); "Concerto, D Major" (Tschakowsky); "Nocturne, E minor" Chopin - Auer); "Slavonic Dance" (Dvornak - Kreisler); "Cradle Song" (Reger); "Perpetual Motion" (Novacek). Her final selection was "Zigeunerweisen" (Sarasate).
She wore a gown of white marquette with fern-shaped jet ornaments at the waist and on the left shoulder. Her ushers were Mrs. Barbara Parsons, Doris Turney, Drawn Straus and Elaine Howard.
Elaine Talley, coloratura soprano, will present her senior recital June 4.

Shuri Bastion Hit From Three Sides As Okinawa Totters
International News Service
The keystone of Japan's defenses on bloody Okinawa tootered on the brink of disaster today as United States Tenth army forces smashed down on Shuri.
The enemy citadel was besieged from three sides. The Shuri bastion on southern Okinawa began crumbling as elements of the Sixth Marine division and the army's veteran Seventh slogged through mud and rain to slam shut the enemy's sole avenue of escape south.
Sixth division leathernecks struck out from captured Naha on the west coast and the army's Seventh, slashing from the east coast, were some 3,000 yards apart to the south.
Organ Students To Give Program
Six organ students from the School of Fine Arts will present a student recital in Hoch auditorium at 3:30 p.m. today.

Allen Rogers will play a Bach selection, "Preflate and Fugue in D minor" ("Pastorale" (Frank) and "In die ist Freude") (Bach) will be played by Margaret Snodgrase, followed by "Festival Toccata" (Fletcher), played by Anne Krebhel.
Mrs. Mary Jean Ader will close the program with "Finale from Fourth Symphony" (Widor).

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MAY 31, 1945
Kansan Comments
English Election Will Determine Postwar Cabinet
A general election in England is to be held early in July. The issue at stake is really the question of what kind of a peacetime government the English people want.
Predictions are already being made on the outcome of the election. Most of them seem to be to the effect that the Conservative party still has the edge on the Labor and Liberal parties. There is no doubt that the short time the latter parties will have for organizing may affect the election. However, these parties are stronger in England than they ever have been.
The parties have been working together for some time in the wartime coalition cabinet. Yet a few days after the cabinet was reshuffled, a trivial discussion went on in the House of Commons, in which the split was strictly along the old party lines.
We wonder whether Churchill is the kind of man to hold the peace-time premiership. His record in prosecuting the war has been excellent. On the other hand, his attitude up to the present time on the problems of peace must be considered. He and Stalin do not seem able to trust each other. With his conservative background, Churchill seems to favor the continuance of the long-standing British economic system of imperialism. The fact the system exists may be a factor definitely inimical to a permanent peace.
Then, of course, no one knows just exactly what type of government the Liberals and Laborites would give Britain.
Let us hope that the British people make their choice on the basis of its effect on the whole world and on the keeping of peace.—N.W.

No New Sports After Completion Of Old Events
"No new spring sports," was the decision of the intramural managers at a meeting with Ray Kanehl, assistant intramural director in Robinson gymnasium Tuesday night.
Reporting the results of the meeting, Coach Kanehl said yesterday that the group agreed to play off the unfinished handball and golf events by June 16 and to undertake no new competition. The softball tournament, now also past the originally scheduled finish date will be concluded as soon as possible.
Handball Bogs Down
The handball doubles tourney reached the quarter-finals before it bogged down. One of the quarterfinal games was played, putting the Phi Delt team, John McShane and John McGuckin into an upper-bracket semi-final position, and one was forfeited to the Beta team of Jerry Simpson and Bill West, thus giving them a berth in the semifinal lower bracket. The McShane-McCuckin combination defeated a Phi Psi team, Tom Sinclair and Rudy Carl to win their semi-final spot.
Quarter-final games remaining to be played are the one between the Sigma Chi team, J. J. Wildgen-Bob Duboc and Burris Jones-Norval Jackson (Phi Fsi); and the Frank Brosius-Buzz Hargis (Phi Gam) vs. Howard Joseph and Bob Neustrom (Beta) match.
First Winners to Meet Beta's
The winner of the first will be matched with the Simpson-West Beta team in the semi-finals, and the winner of the second will be the semi-final opponent of the Phi Delt team. McShane and McGuckin.
One contestant on the golf tourney reached the third round, Bill Chastnut, Phi Psi. Chestnut is the only lower bracket semi-finalist, and there are no semi-final spots filled in the upper bracket. One of the upper-bracket quarter-final spots has been reached, by R. J. Atkinson, also Phi Psi.
Five Golf Matches to Go
Matches waiting to be played are Marsh Fryar, Phi Psi, vs. Chris Thomas, Phi Gam; Jerry Simpson, Beta, vs. Charles Aylward, Phi Delt; Jim McEvers, Beta, vs. Jack Miller, Phi Psi; Kirk Scott, Phi Delt, vs. Eddie Brunk, Phi Psi, and Rudy Carl, Phi Psi, vs. Frank Broiusus, Phi Gam.

This contest was a bit unusual from other archery contests in that it was a mail shoot.

It was the first of its kind to be had in Kansas, Miss Stapleton said. Four Score High
Ruth Hibbs, Joan Justice, Pearl Guger, and Leah Smith shooting columbia rounds for the first time; were the four highest of the six rounds shot.
Ruth Hibbs was high with 49 hits and a 207 score, Joan Justice was second with 41 hits and a 161 score, Pearl Guger came in third with 42 hits and a 152 score, and Leah Smith was fourth with 43 hits and a 151 score.
A columbia round is of 24 arrows, shot from 30, 40, and 50 yards, Miss Stapleton explained, and the highest possible score is 72 hits and a 648 score.

The University of Wichita took first place in the contest with 203 hits and a 885 score, and K. U. came in second with 175 hits and a 671 score. Baker university and Kansas State college withdrew because of bad weather.
