'Jewish Report Angers Palestine
Washington. (UP) — Arab and Jewish leaders today gave an angry reception to an Anglo-American report recommending entry of 100,000 Jews into Palestine and rejecting the concept that the Holy Land should be either a Jewish or Arab state.
Neither Arabs nor Jews were satisfied. Arabs thought 100,000 Jewish emigrants would be too many. Jews complained that the report rejected their plea that Palestine be turned into a Jewish state.
Tokyo. (UP)—Allied authorities today seized an unidentified suspect in connection with a plot to assassinate Gen. Douglas MacArthur, as a huge May Day celebration came to an end.
Washington. (UP)—Secretary of Navy James Forrestal today renewed strong navy opposition to merger of the armed forces under a single secretary of common defense.

Fuller Returns As Coal Mediator
Washington. (UP)—Federal mediator Faul W. Fuller withdrew his resignation today and agreed to continue his work in efforts to settle the 81-day-old soft coal strike.

Leonardo, N.J. (UP)—Five men were listed as missing and presumed dead today as the navy opened on investigation into the munitions blast which wrecked the destroyer-escort Solar.
Thirty-five of the 165 persons injured were still in nearby hospitals 20 of them in serious condition.
Big Four Argue Over Italian Treaty
Paris, (UP)—The Big Four foreign ministers today confirmed their rejection of Austria's claims for the return of south Tyrol, but ran into a dispute over enforcement of the future Italian peace treaty, with foreign minister V. M. Molotov ranged against the representatives of Britain, France, and the United States.
New York. (UP) — A five-man United Nations subcommittee meets today to sift evidence on Spain which may help the UN Security council decide whether to take steps against the Franco government.

Cairo. (UP)-Seven persons were killed and about 50 were wounded at Alexandria today when police fired on students demonstrating against reported British plans to maintain permanent air bases in Egypt.
Galveston, Tex. (UP)—A waterfront strike, which wharf officials said had threatened thousands of tons of UNRRA food for starving Europeans, ended today as 7 patrolmen withdrew their picket lines and 2,000 dock employees returned to work.
ASC Gets Taste Of Pre-Election 'Shenanigans'
- Pre-election fireworks between campus Greeks and Independents started popping last night.
The All-Student Council, student governing body, was hit first, as Mt. Oread political leaders attempted to outwit each other.
Definite results were a bit hazy,
but this much was certain:
The Council didn't meet at its regular time because an Independent "boycott" left it without a quorum.
The council finally did meet later, after the deadline for its gathering, but under a protest which may make its actions illegal.
Cause for the absence of most Independent members of the ASC last night apparently was the scheduled installation of Howard Engleman, first-year law student and former All-American basketball star for K. U., into the group.
Independent spokesman claim that Engleman is to be the Greek candidate for ASC presidency. To be eligible, he must have served on the Council, and to make room for him on the Council—so the Independents said—Pachacamac had Glenn Warner resign as Interfraternity Council representative, to be replaced by Engleman.
Without a quorum, the Council representatives held no session at 7:15 p.m. the time scheduled. Later after the 8:30 deadline set for ASC meetings—Eugenia Hepworth, Fine Arts senior and ASC president returned to the Union, to preside over a meeting called when more Council members appeared.
At this later meeting, the Council installed Engleman.
One interruption in this delayed meeting came after the roll was called. Clyde Jacobs, a member of the Student Court, wrote out an "injunction" against Miss Hepworth, stating she had "no right" to conduct the meeting after the deadline. The ASC president held the meeting, anyway.
Dixie Gilliland, College senior, was appointed acting Council secretary, and reported today that members present were Betty Ball, Homer Evans, Marguerita Kerschen, Mary Jane Zollinger, Emily Stacy, Joan Anderson, George Darsie, Richard Nelson, Caroline Morriss, Carolyn Nigg, Glenn Warner, Lois Thompson, Seall Macferran, Charles Hall, Guy Ashcraft, Eugenia Hepworth, and Dixie Gilliland.
Members absent from the meeting included Dick Hollingsworth, Billie Marie Hamilton, Anna Stevens, Wendell Nickell, Helen Howe, Franzena Jackson, Shirley Wellborn, Jane Peterson, Carrol McCue, Emily Hollis, George Caldwell, and George Worrell.

Melton To Sing Here Tuesday
As one of the major events of Music week and the entire musical season, James Melton, tenor of the Metropolitan opera company and star of concert stage, screen and radio, will sing at 8:20 p.m. Tuesday in Hoch auditorium.
Mr. Melton's Metropolitan opera debut was in December, 1942, and his repertoire now includes leading ten roles in "Don Giovanni," "La Traviata," "Lucia," "Mano," "Mignon," "Lohengrin," "Madame Butterfly," "Martha," and others.
During the war, he was active in many concerts for bond drives, at base hospitals, army camps, canteens and war plants. His latest moving picture work includes a starring part in M.G.M. "Ziegfield Follies," and the forthcoming musical version of "Cimarron."
He matriculated at the University of Florida to study law, and transferred to Vanderbilt university where he studied voice under Gaetano do Luca. In 1927 he went to New York to sing at the Roxy theater and soon entered the radio field.
A contest among college bands
'Modern Classical Music Added To Swing Plus Basie Style Make Raeburn Rhythms'
In 1834, he made a concert tour with George Gershwin and soon was engaged by Warner Brothers for motion pictures, appearing in "Stars Over Broadway," "Melody for Two," and other films.
Boyd Raeburn's orchestra has been signed to play for the K-Club dance, May 11, Hal Hunter, varsity dance manager, announced today.
Raeburn, who has spent several months on the west coast building up his band and creating a new style, is making his first trip east.
"The stuff we play." Raeburn explains, "is modern classical music applied to swing. We've based it on the theory of modern music as presented by Hindemuth, the Harvard professor, and we follow the lines of the great contemporary moderns, Stravinsky and Shostavayov. Actually we are presenting new sounds in jazz by introducing extra notes in chords. Mix this was the adaptations of the Count Basie jump style and you've got Rhythms by Raeburn."
Since that time he has appeared in New York, Chicago, and on the west coast. Last year Raeburn's band was named the 11th best band in the country by the Metronome music magazine poll.
launched the leader on his musical career. He was studying at the University of Chicago, and entered his student-recruited band in a contest at the Hotel Sherman. His band walked off with top honors and was given a year's contract to play at the World's Fair, then underway in the windy city.
Raeburn gave up sports in favor of a musical career. He was catcher for the University of Chicago baseball team until he decided to give it up, so he could concentrate more time and energy on his orchestra.

'Dancing' Goes To Court
Over a desk littered with legal and semi-legal papers and memoranda, the Douglas county commissioners last February 20 quietly passed a resolution to prohibit dancing in places which sell beer. Young people of the University and the county were deprived overnight, as it were, of a favorite form of casual recreation. Fires of indignation flamed, and expressions of extreme displeasure were fired at the county lawmakers: complaints on the streets, petitions in the mail, formal missions of protest to the little room off the north corridor, first floor, courthouse.
Nothing happened. Then the flames of wrath died away to little more than lantern's glow. The dance-ban resolution was amended to allow dancing through certain hours, providing no beer was sold during that time. It seemed that the synthesis had been reached, and a feeling of vaguely discontented resignation prevailed.
One recourse remained. in an early fracs over the resolution, Commissioner Lou Griffith had said, in effect, "If you don't like this resolution, you can take it to the courts." Now Roy Borgen, owner-manager of the Dine-a-Mite inn on West 23rd street, has done just that. His petition, on which Judge Hugh Means will hold a hearing in district court May 9, asks for an injunction preventing the county commissioners, the county attorney, and the sheriff from enforcing the resolution in question.
John Brand, attorney for Mr. Borgen, says that there have been no Kansas Supreme Court decisions bearing on this subject, and to his knowledge, the issue has never before been presented to the courts of Kansas. That leave the decision entirely to the interpretation of the law by Judge Means, who has long enjoyed a reputation of strict fairness, honesty, and high legal acumen.
That the Feb. 20 regulation deprives Mr. Borgen's customers of a normal and generally accepted form of recreation cannot be denied, and the court again finds itself functioning in a manner so well foreseen by the framers of our constitution. When the elected legislative and executive officers of a democratic unit fail to perform in conformance to an individual's conception of his constitutional rights, that individual may petition the courts for specific interpretation.
Kansas law vests power in the county commissioners to regulate hours of closing, standards of conduct in retailing beer, and matters relative to the moral, sanitary, and health conditions of such places of business. Whether or not the divorce of dancing from beer retailing is within their jurisdiction or was intended or implied by the writers of the Kansas law will be decided May 9.
If this resolution is found to be within the law, the people of the community will have still another voice in the matter: the ballot —J.C.

Selection
Let some praise the honored victor. Chant his name unto the skies,
But let me sing of the forgotten one Who falls down on the field and dies.
Some sing of the carefree hero.
In kings some put their trust;
But I shall sing of the defeated man
Whose banners trail in the dust.
For there is a greater triumph than victory In the will to try again.
And those who fall short, but still fight on Are the nobler, strong men.

'It's A Good Time To Consider Teaching School As A Career'
By H. E. CHANDLER
(Director, Teachers' Appointment Bureau)
Seniors in the field of education have no worries this year as far as jobs are concerned. Already nearly 1,000 vacancies have been listed with the teachers appointment bureau, and it is likely that by September first at least 1,500 more will be reported. Kansas faces this year the most serious teacher shortage in the history of its schools, due primarily to four causes:
ONE. Military service, Red Cross, U.S.O., and various government activities took large numbers of teachers out of educational work. Probably half of these may not return to teaching.
FOUR. Married women who have been teaching during the emergency are returning to their homes, and single teachers engaged in returning servicemen are resigning to be married. The number of teachers thus lost to the schools will greatly exceed the number gained through return of service men to teaching.
THREE. Kansas colleges training teachers will graduate this year only about one-fourth as many prospective teachers as in prewar years.
TWO. War industry with high wages attracted many others. Practically none of these are returning to the classroom.
Any person of good health and character who can meet certification requirements of the Kansas state board of education can get a position any time. It will be at least five years and perhaps longer before a reasonably adequate supply of teachers is available.
With initial salaries for women ranging from $1800 to $2100 and for men from $2300 to $2600, with additional pay for those in specialized subjects and in coaching, teaching salaries are now comparable to those rein the new colorings and patterns—

'Love, Trust Basis for Leadership"-Alford
"Open-heartedness, love and trust in other people is the basis for successful leadership," Mrs. Christine Alford, Y.W.C.A. executive secretary, told members of the Y.W.C.A. leadership training course in the Union Tuesday night.
Mrs. Alford substituted for Miss Gretta Hagemann, Topeka, who was unable to attend, but is expected Friday.
Mary Morrill and Eugenia Hepworth, seniors and members of Mortar Board, will address the third meeting of the group at 7:15 p.m. today in the East room of the Union.
"Leaders must have a following." Mrs. Alford asserted, "Cultivate a personality that will draw people to you." Emphasizing the fact that Y.W.C.A. is a movement rather than a club in its scope, she explained some of the situations and jobs confronting 'the 'Y' leader.
"An organization depends upon its leadership," Mrs. Alford said, discussing the points of sincerity, faith, and humility made by Dr. Calvin VanderWerf in his address to the group Monday. The Y.W.C.A. has become a community center and has a responsibility there, she said.
"Definiteness without dictatorial tendencies should be the goal of a good leader," Mrs. Alford declared. "Service and leadership should be developed by participation while still in school and not left to slide until later."
Laboratory Dedicated
The mechanical engineering laboratory at K.U. was dedicated at a joint meeting of the Kansas City and University student branches of the A.S.M.E. Friday night.
SOMETHING NEW!

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Since the baseball season started in the majors, many players and writers have said that Bob Feller had lost his speed and a lot of his control. And it seemed that it might be so because he lost two of his first three games against second division clubs.
Feller became annoyed when the word started spreading that he had lost his stuff, and Tuesday he went out to prove that his critics were wrong. He proved it conclusively by beating the New York Yankees, one of the most powerful clubs in either league.
And, more than just defeating them by a slim margin, Feller hurled a no-hit, no-run game.
This is Feller's second perfect game in the majors. His first came on opening day of 1940 against the Chicago White Sox. It took just 133 pitches to subdue the Yankees, and that adds up to an average of only four pitches per batter. The men who began to whisper that Bob was on the down grade had better look again.
☆ ☆ ☆
After spending three years with the Marines, Ted Lyons is making a comeback with the Chicago White Sox at the age of 45. He is the oldest active player in the majors, and is still mowing them down at the plate for the White Sox. He pitches only on Sunday, but he can still win bill games.
Lyons went straight to the White Sox from the Baylor university campus in 1923, and he stayed there until he enlisted in 1942. He had been a star on the mound for Baylor, and he became one of Chicago's most reliable hurlers as a freshman in the majors.
Lyons wants to join the select circle of pitchers who have won 300 games before he hangs up his glove. He has won 260, but 40 more games seems a long way off to a 45-year-old hurler. But even if he doesn't attain his goal, he always will be classed as a great pitcher.
It seems to me that the least that could be done for the intramural softball teams would be to have the fields mowed.
If the athletic program as a whole is going to improve here, facilities will have to be kept in as good shape as possible. They aren't very good for intramurals, and the best condition is still not very satisfactory.
The grass and weeds are about four inches high, and fielders can't tell what the ball will do. It may stop a few feet in front of them, or it may hit a patch of heavy grass or weeds and careen off to one side.
Brown Injured in Softball
Ferril Brown, Business senior, fractured a bone in his left hand in softball game between Alpha Tau Omega and Sig Alph Monday, when he slid into home base in the first inning. The injury was treated at Watkins hospital. Brown is a member of Alpha Tau Omega.

Baseball Game with Sedalia Postponed Until Friday
Bad weather continued to handicap Jayhawker baseballers, when it forced postponement of today's game with Sedalia army air base. The Sedalia team was to fly to the game, but the plane was grounded because of take-off conditions.
The game may be played tomorrow or Friday, if conditions permit. Gene Hellman is Coach "Red" Dugan's choice to hurl for the Jayhawkers, if the game is played.

Teke, SAE, Pi K A Kappa Sig, Old Timers Win Men's Softball
Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Old Timers, and Sigma Chi were the victors in the fourth round of intramural softball play-offs on the intramural fields.
Kappa Sigma pulled from behind to defeat V-12 (A) 5-4. The winning runs came in the late half of the seventh inning, when a line drive over third brought in the tying and winning runs.
Addington, Pi Kappa Alpha, was the chief cause of defeat for the Kappa Alpha Psi ball club when he connected with two circuit clouts with men on base. The final score was 11-8. PiKA.
Sig Alph came through with a one run advantage in the late innings of the game to defeat Alpha Tau Omega. 8-7. Tau Kappa Epsilon played a fast and close game with V-12 (B) and was able to maintain a three run lead that they had compiled early in the game. The final score, TKE 8 and V-12 (B) 5.
Sigma Chi and Delta Tau Delta battled out a game that kept spectators on edge. A pitching duel between the two opponents was the high point of the tussle. Sigma Chi scored three runs and the Deltas none up until the first half of the seventh, but the Deltas brought across 2 runs and left a man on second base to end the game 3-2. Williams, Sigma Chi, and Baker, Delta Tau Delta, were the pitchers.
The Old Timers scored a 6-1 defeat over Phi Gamma Delta, after the Phi Gam hurler, Len Hartigan, was injured during play. A line drive to the pitchers mound struck Hartigan, knocking him unconscious and he was removed from the game. Hartigan was the third player on the Phi Gam squad to meet with an accident during intramural softball.

Roberts, Truman Talk Supreme Court Post
Washington. (UP) — President Truman invited former Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts to a White House conference today, presumably to discuss pending supreme court appointments.
Roberts resigned from the court last June.
The former justice spent about 20 minutes with the president, but would say nothing about his conference as he left the White House. To all questions, he replied, "no comment."
Las Vegas. (UP)—Gambling in the clouds was proposed today by two night club operators who plan to convert a surplus flying fortress into a flying casino.
Soft music, other entertainment, and gambling will be offered aboard the plane flying between Reno and Las Vegas, Duke Wiley and Eddie Alias, operators of the Casa Vegas, revealed.
Brownout Returns With Coal Shortage
(By United Press)
Illinois curtailed the use of electricity today and state and city officials across the country contemplated similar measures as coal supplies dwindled.
The shortage, caused by the month long soft coal walkout, already has resulted in the loss of 54,966,844 tons, according to the Solid Fuels administration. An estimated 65,000 workers are idle in coal-consuming industries.
Tokyo. (UP)—The Japanese government was ordered today by Supreme Allied headquarters to destroy the remainder of its fleet by April 30, 1947.
Nanking. (UP)-Chinese government sources said today Gen. George C. Marshall has proposed that the Communists hand Changchun over to Nationalist troops as part of a truce arrangement.
Hollywood (UP)—Twentieth-Century Fox has suspended filming of "Forever Amber," because it has "failed to measure up to standards." and Peggy Cummins, 20-year-old English actress, may be out as the star of the picture.
Foreign Ministers Hit Snag on War Crimes
Paris, (UP)—The Big Four foreign secretaries today ran into another deadlock—this time on the question of Italian war criminals—and decided to simplify procedure in an effort to facilitate its business.
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov objected to compelling Italy to turn over war criminals because the clause would infringe on Italian sovereignty, he said.
The ministers agreed to give Italy's Pelagosa to Yugoslavia with a provision for Italian fishing rights. Italy was allowed to retain Pianosa with a bar against fortifying it.
Tehran, (UP) — Prince Mozzaaf Firouz, government spokesman, announced today that the Red army has almost completed the evacuation of Azerbaijan and that the last Soviet troops may leave tomorrow.
Yokohamu. (UP)—Ryoichi Shimode, former Japanese war camp guard, was sentenced to 20 years in prison today for committing brutalities against American internes. He was the 44th war criminal sentenced by the Eighth Army commission.
His American victims included PFC James M. Mock, Kansas City, Mo.
Nations Prepare Franco Evidence
New York. (UP)—A UN security council subcommittee awaited replies today from the 51 United Nations whom it has invited to submit evidence of whether Spain's Franco government is a menace to world peace.
At least four nations—the United States, Great Britain, Poland, and Mexico—are preparing documents concerning the Spanish question, Russia, which opposed the fact-finding inquiry on the ground it would delay required action against Spain, may also submit information on the wartime tie-up between Spain and Nazi Germany.
The United States evidence was expected to expand the recent American "white paper" on Spain as to details on the presence of "obnoxious" Germans in Spain.
Britain and the U.S. have been pressing the Spanish government to send such Nazi agents back to Germany, but U.S. Security Council Delegate Edward R. Steffinian, Jr., said that Spain has been showing a "growing reluctance" to comply.
British documents are expected to show that in terms of armed might and industrial potential, Spain today is not a threat to world peace—the only condition on which the security council could throw a United Nations diplomatic blockade around Spain as proposed by Poland.
Poland has charged specifically that the Franco regime is sheltering Nazi scientists who are free to work on atomic weapons, but neither the United States nor Britain has given this accusation much credence.
Senior Class To Meet
The Senior class will meet at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in Fraser theater to discuss activities for the rest of the year, including the class gift and class breakfast, Keith Bunnell, president, said today. All seniors will be excused from classes for the meeting.
K.U. Promised 75 New Houses ---For Faculty
K. U. will have room for 75 more families to live on the campus next fall, but they'll be faculty members, not students.
This announcement came from Irving Youngberg, head of the University Housing office. The living units will come from the Federal Public Housing Authority, which granted the University the 75 houses in addition to a previous allocation of 110 units which comprise "Sunny-side," a veterans living area south of the Hill.
The 75 faculty houses probably will be ready about Sept. 1, and will be placed west of the Sunnyside addition. They will make it possible for the University to care for much-needed new faculty members.
10 Per Cent of Drive Quota Collected
About 10 percent, or $40,000, of the $500,000 quota for the University of Kansas War Memorial Drive fund has been collected, Kenneth Postlethwaite, drive chairman, announced today.
Of this amount $28,000 has been donated by the citizens of Lawrence. Mr. Postlethwaite also said that various Alumni associations throughout the country have pledged $300,000.
John Higdon, treasurer of the student war fund committee, said that in the campus drive, students have contributed about $1,500, while faculty members have donated $6,500. To push the drive among the students, a variety show is being sponsored May 10, and a Pan-Hellenic dance will be given May 29.
There will be two performances of the variety show, "Yucca, Yucaa" organized by University students, a matinee at 3 p.m. for the grade and high school students of Lawrence, and the regular performance at 9 p.m. Both performances will take place in Hoch auditorium.

Congress And The People
Monday the Board of the National League of Women Voters sat in Kansas City and drafted a telegram to the United States Senate urging legislation for a continuance of price control without the amendments the House of Representatives has written into the bill.
During the past two weeks the O.P.A. headquarters in Kansas City has solicited the frank opinions of the people of the Kansas City area on the subject of price control. More than 80 per cent of those who sent in their views were in favor of the continuance of price controls.
Also during the past two weeks, congressmen have received more mail on the O.P.A. issue than on any other single question in congressional history. Those letters and telegrams have been five to one in favor of continuing the O.P.A.
In spite of this overwhelming demonstration of public opinion, the House has written in nine crippling amendments to the O.P.A. Amendments which experts have pointed out will virtually make price control impossible. Economic Stabilizer Bowles said that the House had, "taken a step toward a joy ride to disaster."
Though the vote on the amendments was 355 to 42, those devitalizing measures were pushed through mainly by the bloc of Southern Democrats and Republicans, the same coalition which crippled the Patman housing bill.
It seems plainer than ever that this group is out to make the administration's record look as bad as possible with little regard for the will of the people or for the public welfare.
The opponents of price control present a seemingly good case and we will all admit that the record of O.P.A. has not been all good. But with our industrial machine still so far behind, it is hard to agree with the suggestion that now is the time to lift controls. To deny that some inflation is already here would be foolish but the conditions that exist today are "small peanuts" compared to what we would have if all controls were lifted now.
Labor leaders have already served notice that if prices are allowed to go higher they will throw all the recently negotiated wage contracts out of the window and demand higher wages. They say that those contracts were agreed to on the basis that the cost of living would be held in line by continued price control.
Many congressmen will be up for re-election this fall. It is difficult to see how they can reconcile their activities with the will of the people who sent them to Washington. It would be well for them to listen to the voters back home and forget their game of political football or there will be some new faces in congress after the next election.
With An Eye To Skirts
Many means have been devised for predicting the future and here's another to be added to the list. The long and short of it is—skirts, for oddly enough, there is an amazing correlation between the history of the United States and the length and width of women's skirts since 1776.
At Washington's inauguration, the ladies were wearing wide flat farthingals, doubtless another result of the French influence that was sweeping America. As the young republic began to strengthen its wobbly foundations, hopes began to grow and so did hoops.
The bigger the skirts the better, and they were reaching five-by-five dimensions when the French Revolution and the "new freedom" which was becoming the vogue came along and prompted women to discard their "iron cages," much as they had discarded their kings, for a less rigid and more democratic dress. Skirts shrank with nations as Napoleon, Josephine, and Empire dresses came into the spotlight, but as soon as Napoleon was safely out of the way, optimism and crinolinism blossomed forth together in a burst of glory.
In 1850 began a period of radical change and radical dress. Skirts spread right along with speculation and more often than not got out of control when they expanded beyond the margin of safety.
After the panies of '57, '67, and '73, when economy became the key-word, everybody cut down on everything, including skirts, but the late seventies and early eighties saw big business and skirts bustle forth together for a brave if brief time.
During the nineties women were deciding it wasn't going to be a man's world any longer and bustles went out with chivalry. As women crept out of their homes their ankles crept out of their skirts and saw the light of day for the first time after the turn of the century.
The incline was slow but the reactionary twenties which followed the great war hastened what otherwise might have taken years. This was no time for dilly-dallying, and skirts, along with everything else, went to a new high, only to crash with the market to a few inches above the ground.
Everyone and everything was low and tight and skirts were no exception. But as smiles grew broader and spirits rose, skirts followed suit.
Skirts had gone about as far as they could go when the atomic bomb burst a new world's rising hopes and skirts began to fall with men's faces.
Now, on the brink of destruction, or at the dawn of a new era, skirts may point the way to our ultimate destination. Perhaps by watching them we'll be keeping an eye to the future.—E.A.

A complete answer. We understand the following episode happened to a K.U. Beta. After waiting in K.C.for two hours for a train back to Lawrence, he noticed a streamliner about to leave on the adjoining track.
It's a small world. Helen Hark-razer, tired of telling people she was a sophomore in the college, decided the Gamma Phi-ATO hour dance was to change her way of life. When asked by her dancing partner what she was majoring in, Helen replied, "I'm a senior in aeronautical engineering."

And he's only a freshman. The Phi Delt pride and joy, Louie Sheppard, practically came to blows with his convocation date Tuesday. It seems Louie thought his name was read in the Phi Beta Kappa list and she wouldn't let him stand up and take recognition. (Some semesters it just doesn't pay to study.)
Upon asking the conductor if he could change trains and go to Lawrence on the streamliner, he received the following answer. "In the first place, you will have to buy a new ticket, in the second place, this train doesn't stop at Lawrence. Even if it did, all the seats are taken and besides that, we don't even go through Lawrence."

'Ample Future For Majors In English'
By J. H. NELSON (Chairman, Department of English)
The student who is majoring in English will find an abundance of opportunity to put his training into practical use at the present time.
As in the past, English training now finds its greatest practical outlet in teaching. English teachers far outnumber those in any other group; and fortunately the salaries paid beginning teachers are higher than formerly, ranging from an annual $1,800 in the eastern part of Kansas to $2,200 in some of the western counties. Not only the high schools, but some of the junior colleges of the state will need't increase their teaching staffs. For work in the junior colleges, however, teaching experience is ordinarily required.
Training in English has perhaps a greater indirect than direct practical value. It is useful and necessary, for example, for those who wish to do well in radio performance, in journalism, in the reviewing of books, and in secretarial work. A number of former majors in English at the University have taken up editorial work. There is, however, no assured means by which one enters this field. Those who do so sometimes begin in a clerical capacity with a publishing company.
Ellis County Oil Well
The writing of fiction, plays, and other works of literature is, of course, professional work—for those who have the particular talent needed and who are willing to undertake the hard and grueling work necessary for success.
Hays. (UP)—The newest oil well in Ellis county today was believed to be a 3,000 barrel-a-day well. The well was brought on land on which a major corporation had dropped its lease only six months ago. Drillers who hit oil in Arkauclek mile at 3,484 feet reported the hole filled 3,300 feet in five hours. An hour's pumping at 30 gallons an hour in a test failed to lower the level.

One Of Custer's Scouts Denies Men Were Drunk During The Last Stand'
White Crow, an Anikira Indian said Custer's men had been imbibing. White Crow said he ought to know. He had an uncle in the Battle of the Little Bighorn—known in the history books as Custer's last stand.
Bismarck, N.D. (UP)—An Indian claimed today that Gen. Custer's men were drunk when they made their famous "last stand," but one of Custer's scouts said there was a liquor shortage on the frontier in those daves.
On the night before the massacre," White Crow said, "a band of Indian scouts crept close to Custer's campfire and observed much firewater. When dawn broke the ground was covered with empty bottles."
His word was discounted by Jack Horner, 92, one of two survivors of some 1,200 scouts who served under Custer. He was at Ft. Lincoln, Neb., the day Custer and his men rode off to battle.
That was on June 25, 1876, when Custer and his cavalrymen were wiped out by Chief Gall and 3,000 Sioux warriors.
"That report is founded on legend, not facts." Horner said.
"I would have been numbered with Custer's dead if there had been enough horses to give every man a mount." he added.
When Chief Gall learned of this, White Crow said, he ordered an immediate attack.
Each man selected a horse, he said, until there was only one left. Two men bid for it himself and a woman bid for it. She was St. Joseph's I lost, because I was the worst.
"I lost because I was the youngest recruit." Horner said.
"The aged scout said that Custer liked a little nip now and then" but was strict in enforcing the rule of no drinking on duty.
White Crow, who has painted and written much of Indian legend, and Horner agreed on only one point—a big bay horse named Comanche was the only survivor on Custer's side.
Note: Comanche, sole survivor of Custer's last stand, is now in K.U.'s byche Museum of Natural History.
Dodge City Proposes To Rebuild Frontier
Dodge City (UP)—The Dodge City of "boothill" days when this western Kansas town was notorious as a frontier outpost may be reconstructed under a project proposed today by Mayor Bert Green.
Mayor Green suggested that a replica of the old "front street" be constructed. It would include a blacksmith shop specializing in souvenirs, a Front Street hotel with a front entrance a horse-stall for animals opened by rick rack hitching racks and several buildings constructed in the front manner.
Green estimated cost of the project at approximately $100,000, which he said would be a profitable investment for businesses catering to a tourist trade and possibly leasing the structures as moving picture sets.
The Russians made maps of Berlin while Leningrad was besieged.

SPINK BUILDING - ST. LOUIS, MO.
St. Louis, (UF)—Dr. Anton J. Carlson said today that men would be as healthy as rats, if they had to "scratch for a living."
Carlson, professor emeritus of physiology at the University of Chicago and retiring president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said that eating has become such a pleasant pastime that it has been overdone.
"If you leave rats on their own, they scratch around and eat only what they need." Carlson said. "They are like men, however. They will eat all you give them."
"I took one litter of rats and let them stuff themselves to their heart's content," he said. "Another group got the same diet but only on every second day. A third every third day, and a fourth every fourth day."
Carlson said that many scientist using white rats in their experiments were "off the scientific beam' because they let their rodents ea what they wanted.
He is engaged in studying the problem of whether undereating or overeating affects the life span of humans. And he has started by studying rats.
Carlson said the fasting rats scratched for food on the days their rations were denied them. They are restless and got a lot of exercise.
"Those fasting rats grew almost as large as those which stuffed themselves," he said.
"Rats are like men. Those which do not have to scratch for a living, who eat and sit and sit, do not live as long as they could."
Carlson said man might try to spend less time eating and more time "with his skull cap."
'Blankety-Blank'—Official G.I. Opinion of K-Rations
Washington. (UP) — The army quartermaster corps asked the G.I. who saw combat in World War II what he thought of "K" and "C" rations. The public relations officer cut out the swear words and made results of the survey today.
The GI's don't like beef or pork loaf, bouillon powder or lemon powder, the quartermasters finally discovered. Generally, they "diliked"rations used at the front, the army press release said.
The men said they preferred meat, crackers and biscuits, coffee, pork and beans, chocolate bars and cigarettes.
None of this information seemed to be new, but now it's official.
Spurs Jingle-Jangle At Horse Show
They strapped on their spurs and added a few modern touches to western riding Sunday.
The Spur club and equitation classes, sponsoring a horse show on the west intramural fields saddled themselves with a program calling for everything from horseback square dancing to a strip tease.
Gwennyn Gupton, doing the strip tease act for Eleanor Churchill, who fell from a horse and was slightly injured during another performance, galloped onto the field, removed a plaid shirt, and disappointed spectators by disobeying her horse instead.
Trick riders, Clarence Francisco, Carol Long, Martha Laffer, and Eleanor Churchill did high jumping on their horses. Caroline Merritt, Kathryn Eaton, Susan Wright, Patricia Foster, and Gayle Mott demonstrated English style riding. Carol Long, Martha Laffer, George Eisenhardt, Janet Belt, and Joan Hepworth, demonstrated Western style riding.
Two teams, playing basketball on horses, used rubber tires on the ground as goals. A sword battle and a square dance were program features.
Keeping things hot, Clarence Francisco ended the show by jumping his horse over flaming bales of hay.

No More Baldies On Front Row If False Hair Expert Has His Way
New, York, (UP)—Ten thousand bald heads in these United States are going to bob up wearing hair within the next few weeks, or Louis Feder will die trying.
The hair won't be real, but it'll have gal appeal—or so Feder claims and you can wear it even while standing on your hands in the shower.
Feder, Fifth Avenue false hair merchant, plans to open "Operation Toupee" two weeks from today if possible. Working alone, without even a bottle of hair tonic to encourage him, he'll sweep through Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Denver and on to Los Angeles. "I will establish headquarters in the main hotel of each city," Feder said, "and then I'll send out my call to the helpless."
"Marriages will take an upswing," Feder said, "and even divorces may be nipped in the bud—if we don't count California."
After humping into the Pacific Feder will rebound along the southern route carrying his wares to the blistered noggins in Houston, El Paso, and San Antonio, Texas. Then on to New Orleans, across to Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and on up through Virginia. Of course Feder will travel with his secret weapon—the tashav.
"Ten, thousand." Feder said today, Dexing his muscles and running his fingers through train schedules. "I'll put hair on 10,000 heads, or eat my own creations."
wreck weapon—the tassay.
"It'll overcome my natural male suspicion or resistance," he explained. "Once men see my new creation—even the he-men of the west—they'll be eager to wear it. They'll no longer be ashamed to wear toupees if you must call them that."
He expects all sorts of drastic changes to take place in these cities as he breezes through them.
The tashay is human hair, purchased from European peasants, which is fitted-piece by piece—to a net like base. When placed on the human skull it melts into the general bump-work and is hardly noticeable.
"Once it's gone, it's usually gone for good," he said.
Feder never claims that he can restore hair.
But he figures that the tashay is the next-best thing.
"I've even got one client who forgets and goes to the barbershop," he said.
Wichita. (UP)—Warrants today were issued against Max Cohen and Robert L. Carnahan charging them with maintaining a gambling establishment and maintaining and operating slot machines.
Cohen, Carnahan Face State Charges
The warrants were issued by County Attorney Pat Warnick as the latest development in his investigation of liquor and gambling activities in Sedgwick county.
Cohen and Carnahan were defendants last year in federal court hearings here and were found guilty to the charge of evading federal income tax.
Both paid $15,000 fines and were placed on probation for a four-year period.
Warnick, in filing the information and warrants against Cohen and Carnahan said, "It must be carefully noted that these two men are under sentence in the federal court and their sentences have been probated. "Before state court prosecution can proceed permission must be obtained by the state. Formal application has been filed in this regard. We have proceeded in this manner in order that no possibility may exist that the statute of limitations will run against any cause of action."
Kansas City Man Chosen
Topeka. (UP) — Gov. Andrew Schoeppel has appointed William E. Scott, Kansas City, an attorney, to the Kansas state board of health. Scott will fill an unexpired term ending next March. I. Willard Hayne, Kansas City, filled the position during the war. After Scott's return to civilian life, Hayne wrote to the governor that he wanted to resign in favor of Scott, who held the post prior to his entrance into the armed service.
Control A- Energy Physicist Urges
Pittsburg, Kan. (UP)—The greatest service rendered by the atomic bomb was to show that war cannot continue without self destruction, Robert A. Millikan, physicist and Nobel Prize winner from Pasadena, Calif., said here last night.
Reviewing the discovery of uranium as a source for atomic energy, Millikan said that since uranium was so rare and expensive its industrial uses were negligible and easily worth sacrificing for its military control.
He urged world leaders to permit small scale experimentation with uranium but warned that large scale mining and installation should be suspected.
Control.of uranium would involve watching only two localities, Millikan said. The Belgain Congo, where 90 per cent of our supply originated, and Northern Canada, where 10 per cent originated, were the two localities, he added.
Millikan also urged universal military training for this country.
No nation has order without a police force, he said, and there always will be international John Dillingers.
Kansas Wheat Crop In Good Shape
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—With average weather from now on, southwest and south central Kansas will combine a wheat crop up to 125 per cent of a 15-bushel normal, Harry Robinson of the Kansas elevators reported today.
Robinson, with recent reports from 25 to 30 stations in that area, said he could not agree with weathermen's reports that the southwest corner of the "Breadbasket State" was suffering from dangerous drought conditions. March "soaking" rains, following February precipitation, built up the subsoil moisture in fine shape, he said.
Even that part of the state wasn't hurt too badly as yet and precipitation immediately will enable it to make an ordinary 10-12 bushel crop, Robinson said.
The April 1 crop report estimated Kansas wheat production this year at 212 million bushels, second highest crop on record in the state.
"There is an area in northwest Kansas which will be hurt badly, if it doesn't get rain in the next two or three weeks," he said. "That area runs from Hays to Oakley and Colby and north to the Nebraska line, about three to four million acres. West of that, around Goodland and into eastern Colorado, the crop is in good shape."
The Chinese were the first to discover a practical method of paper making by the weaving of fibers.
Sterling. (UP)—A Sterling high school athlete, 17-year-old Dean Yeakel, was dead today of injuries suffered when the broken end of a vaulting crossbar pierced his body
Yeakel failed to clear the bar on the high school athletic field, and it
broke beneath his weight as he fell on the dislodged cross-piece. He died on the operating table at a nearby hospital.
Yeakel, described as an exceptional scholar, had tied for third place in the high school vault event in the K.U. relays. He was the son of Don Yeakel, a contractor.

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Major league stars who returned this season from the army and navy are setting a fast pace, both in hitting and pitching. It was a matter of speculation among all who are interested in baseball whether these men could come back after a layoff and take up where they left off in the big leagues. So far they are doing much better than expected.
The top two batting leaders in each league have been belting the ball at a better than .400 clip thus far, and only one did not see service in the armed forces. Vern Stephens of the St. Louis Brown is the only exception, and he was one of the leading batsmen before the war. The other three, Keller of the Yankees, Wietelmann of the Boston Brues, and Herman of the Brooklyn Dodgers are veterans.
Not only is this true in the percentage figures, but it is a fact in all of the hitting divisions that returned veterans are leading the way. In only two batting divisions in the National league are men who did not serve in the war among the leaders. "Red" Schoendienst of the St. Louis Cardinals and Dixie Walker of the Dodgers are up at the top in hits and home runs respectively.
In the American league only Stephens and Nick Etten of the Yankees are among the top men. Stephens is second in batting percentage, and Etten is second in runs batted in.
This holds true in pitching records also. In the National league all three of the leading hurlers, Sain of the Braves, Lanier of the Cardinals, and Jovice of the Giants, saw service.
In the American league there is one exception, Hal Newhouser, Detroit's ace hurler who was the league's most valuable player the past two seasons, is among the leaders with three victories and one defeat. But Spud Chandler of the Yankees and Mickey Harris of the Red Sox are leading the league with three victories and no defeats. Both saw service in the war.
Two no-hit, no-run games have been pitched this season, and the hurler in each case was a veteran. Ed Head of the Dodgers and Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians were the men who achieved this remarkable feat.
★ ★ ★
Other stars whose names figure prominently in baseball news from day to day such as Ted Williams, Joe Dimaguro, Bobby Doerr, Stan Musial, and Pete Reiser all served Uncle Sam.
It still remains to be seen whether these men can keep up the pace they are setting now, but they are off to a good start in their fight to regain the fame and honors which were theirs before the war. I believe that pre-war standards will be upped because these stars are trying harder now.
I believe also that the same will be true in most other sports. Veterans will be leading the way. It won't show up only in professional athletics, but it will be noticeable in college athletics.
You don't have to look very far to see evidence of this. Take our own campus, and you see, among others, Ray Evans, Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher, "Red" Hogan, and Frank Patte, all of whom will be starting next year for K.U.
These men are veterans, and it will be like this all over the nation. So it seems to be safe to say that the
Division III remained idle Wednesday while division I and II played three games each in the Intramural softball tournament. In division one Kappa Sigma and PT-9 were the victors while in division 2 Tau Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon came through as winners.
Kappa Sig Wins In IM Softball
Kappa Sigma and Kappa Alpha Psi battled out a slugfest until the seventh inning when Kappa Sigma gained a two-run advantage and took the game 15-13.
In division 2, Tau Kappa Epsilon defeated Jaycees by four runs, to take the game by a score of 8-4. The TKE's were able to come from behind after the Jaycees squad had taken the lead. Alpha Tau Omega competely swamped Battenfeld in an ATO walkaway by a score of 16-1.
PT-9 took an early lead over the Ten Eycks and was able to remain in the winning list after putting down a Ten Eyck rally. The final score was 13-8.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was able to hold a slim margin over Carruth during the seven inning game. The Sig Alph's started the scoring and the final inning found them in the lead by a score of 5-3.
Games to be played this afternoon are Beta Theta Pi vs. PT-7, Phi Kappa vs. Phi Delta Theta, Delta Upsilon vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Sigma Nu vs. Ships Company.
The Phi Kappa Psi and V-12 (A) game was postponed.

Jayhawker golf and tennis teams will clash with the Missouri Tigers Friday at Columbia. It will be the first time the teams have met this season, and the Tigers are an unknown quantity in Big Six play.
Coach William Shannon will take both teams to Columbia. Jack Hines, Earl Pickerall, Stan Rudey, and Bill Winey will represent the Crimson and Blue on the links.
Roy Shoaf, Bob Groom, Bob Barnes, and Charles Carson will try to keep their season record unblemished. The Jayhawker netmen have won five and tied one this season.

Sherman, Texas. (UP) — Monty Stratton, the big Texan who seemed destined to be an ace pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, then lost a leg in a hunting accident eight years ago, won his second straight hurling victory yesterday in the East Texas league—and it was a one-hitter.
Monty Stratton Wins Second Straight Game
His Sherman team continued to share the league lead with Henderson, thanks to Monty's fine pitching in last night's 6 to 1 victory over Greenville.
The big righthander showed the home folks, too, that they can ease their worries about his fielding. Despite the artificial leg, he handled four fielding chances perfectly.

Thinclads Meet K-State Saturday
Coach Ray Kanehl's thinclads have a dual triumph over Oklahoma and two team seconds at the Texas and Kansas relays to their credit on the outdoor track. They hope to sharpen their claws for the Big Six conference meet May 17 at Lincoln during the next two weeks.
Jayhawker strength rests mainly on the infield, but they are weak in the hurdles, dashes, and pole vault. If Kansas' power in the field events comes through as expected, the Jayhawkers should come out on top. Leroy Robison probably will tally the most points here, but he will have valuable help from Charlie Black and Karl Ebel.
Robison took third in the javelin and fifth in the shot put at the Drake relays. Robison hasn't been shut out of the top tier of shot putters in any indoor or outdoor meet this year. He also will be the Jayhawker's top discus entry.
Ebel captured third places in the javelin at the Texas and Kansas carnivals. His best heave was 193 feet, $94\frac{1}{4}$ inches. Black will go to the wire in the discus, shot, broad jump, and pole vault. Black may turn in a surprising performance. He scored 10 points in Kansas' victory over the Sooners.
Tom Scofield hopes to rebound from a disappointing performance at Des Moines. Scofield won the high jump at the Texas and Kansas relavs.
The team will be strengthened with the addition of Hal Moore and Wendell Clark. Moore made his outdoor debut two weeks ago by taking second in the Glenn Cunningham Mile at the K.U. relays, and he ran fourth in the two-mile at Drake. Clark will be making his first start of the season in the hurdles.

After Year, White House 'Prisoner Proves He Is Thoroughly Tru-Human
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington. (UP)—The political pundits have been spending their time pondering in print President Truman's first year in the White House. Only trouble with these babies is that they don't even mention the unimportant things which some—$^{\textcircled{1}}$
how add up to be among the most important of all.
This is what I mean:
The President took a long look at the dingy walls of his house and applied a coat of glistening white paint. He obliged a photographer during a blizzard by tossing a snowball at him. When spring arrived he favored another cameraman by assuming a Ferdinand pose, sniffing a flower.
He ate three Christmas dinners (the same Christmas) in Missouri; a few days later he ate two lunches in two hours at Kansas City. He mentioned his private shirt crisis and was deluged with white shirts, size 15½. He got a new yacht, equipped with two pianos, and spent as many weeks end aboard as he could.
He drove an electric locomotive. He flew in his four-engined Sacred Cow through a blizzard that grounded commercial air lines. He caused millions of men to struggle with bow fliess, then he turned the sartorial world inside out by appearing at the Jackson Day banquet in a dinner jacket and a bow tie with silver stripes. Adolphe Menjou said he should have stuck to black.
The president took up horse shoe pitching in his back yard; he uses the gold-painted shoes, his opponent the silver. Mr. Truman muscled in on a chile con carne luncheon at the senate and ate three bowls of same. As an art critic, he announced that he did not like the ham and egg variety of paintings.
He posed for his portrait in oils, in marble, and on film. The latter was a 45-minute ordeal, but the result (as you doubtless have noted) was an evening. He labbergasted the hired bob by writing up each morning at night.
thed the secret service by rising long before then and taking a stroll through the city. He called the White House "the prison." He got out of it whenever he could.
He did his banking personally on 14th street, where the cops had to hold back the crowds whenever he deposited a check. He discharged a dozen White House servants as an economy move. He went fishing in Washington state, wearing one of the loudest sweaters ever seen off the back of Bing Crosby.
He had the lawn sprayed with a special juice to kill the wild onions, but not the grass. His radio technique improved-perceptibly. He pinned medals on numerous heroes; pardoned thousands of ex-convicts who also were heroes in the war. He started to remodel the executive offices so as to include a radio and television theater.
His architect had the hole dug when Congress clapped down the idea. He postponed the atom test, planned to drop in on the Philippines next Fourth of July, and got dressed half a dozen times in a flat black hat to accept honorary college degrees. He listened so often to the "Missouri Waltz" he must have tired of it.
Some Texas Baptists denounced him when they learned he liked an

Texas Democrat
Can Fix You Up
You might try asking Rep. Wright Patman, Democrat, Texas. Twenty-five years ago he decided a good memory wouldn't do him any harm, so he took a correspondence school memory course. Now he's got a reputation for remembering facts and figures.
Among other things, he's memorized the calendar so thoroughly he can listen to any date as far back as 1752 and tell you what day of the week it was.
Patman said he first discovered how helpful it was to have a memory "like an elephant" when he was a young lawyer in Texas. He was trying a case involving the date of approval for a deed. The opposition, he added, "stated the day the deed was approved during the course of the trial."
Patman said his memory course has also proved helpful on the house floor. For instance during debate, he said, "I can memorize 12 points, use them in a speech and rattle them off just like that."
"I knew the minute the opposing counsel named the date it was supposed to be approved that that date was a Sunday," Patman declared. "However, I let them go ahead with the case. The business of approving deeds is not conducted on Sundays.
Pan-Americanism is the theme of the costume dance being given by the University Art club from 9 p.m. to 12 midnight tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Union Bernard Wardlow, chairman of the planning committee, said today.
"Needless to say," he continued. "I won the case on that seemingly insignificant statement."

Music will be furnished by Frank Stalzer's band and a floor show will be presented at intermission. Decorations will carry out the Pan-American idea. Costumes are optional for guests, but Art club members will be in costume.
Vets' Leave Time Explained By Elbel
An interpretation of the amount of leave time allowed veterans while in training under public laws 346 or 16 has been received by the office of veterans training service.
E. R. Elbel, director of veterans training service said that under the latest interpretation, the veteran accumulates two and one-half days per month leave while in school and can receive payment for this, however it will be deducted from his total entitlement.
Veterans having a large entitlement for training may desire to take advantage of his leave time, Mr. Elbel said, since he can afford to lose the time from his training allotment when he is not in school. only enough time to see him through school should probably stop paymen when he is not in school.
The veteran who is not going to summer school should have his training interrupted through the veterans office and have it resumed when he returns in the fall, Mr. Elbel advised. The veteran who is going to summer school should not have his training interrupted until the end of the summer session.
Lindley Hall To Get New Lawn, Sidewalk
Lindley hall will soon have a new front lawn, C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds, said today.
Plans include asphalt sidewalks to replace the present boardwalks and setting out of shrubbery. Delays have been caused by the Sunny-side housing project, since most available labor has been diverted to that project, Mr. Bayles said.
Officers to Attend R.O.T.C.
Three army officers of the Seventh Service Command will attend the University army R.O.T.C. inspection May 21, Capt. John D. Bradley, commanding officer, said today. Col James P. Murphy, Lt. Col. Charles C. Ege, and Maj. W. S. Aldridge will arrive from Omaha on May 20 and will leave the following night, Captain Bradley said.
Crafton To Continue Y.W.C.A. Leadership Discussion Tonight
To do two or three things well, is better than to do many things inefficiently, Mary Morrill, a member of Mortar Board, told members of the Y.W.C.A. leadership training course in the Union Wednesday night.
Eugenia Hepworth, also a member of Mortar Board, and Miss Morrill led an informal discussion on campus leadership at the third meeting of the group this week.
Mrs. Jessica Crafton will continue the series of meetings at 7:30 tonight, in the East room of the Union. She will discuss leadership.
Miss Hepworth pointed out that one doesn't need to be a leader at first, but a good follower, and that if one does the little jobs well, then she can be discovered for more important jobs.
Miss Morrill emphasized using discrimination in joining activities here at college. "Don't join everything" she warned, adding, "it is better to be an active member of an organization.
Miss Morrill and Miss Hepworth agreed that everyone needs some initiative and foresight to lead others, even though one can learn the qualities of a good leader.
Deadline for 'Bird' Articles Saturday
"Materials of Construction in the Aircraft Industry" is Dr. Furnas' subject. He will discuss alloys, plastics and fiberglass in relation to aircraft construction; the possible future role of atomic energy in aircraft propulsion; and the new trends in aircraft concerning speed, range and carrying capacity.
Candidates will meet with K-club members in the Kansan room of the Union Wednesday night, Robison added. The five candidates receiving the most votes will be announced next week, but the queen and her two attendants will not be announced until intermission of the dance.
The deadline for material to be submitted to the June issue of the Bitter Bird magazine is Saturday, Terry Herriott, editor, announced today.
The 23 entries will be judged to the 10 best sketches by Dean J. O. Jones, Dean Henry Werner, and Prof. R. H. Wheeler, and will be sent to Ralph Edwards of Hollywood for the final selection.
Manuscripts for the new issue, which will be published May 31, may be left in the Bitter Bird office in the basement of the Union, he said. No additional names of candidates for "faculty queen," and 23 character sketches have been submitted! Herriot said. The original deadline for entries was April 15, but was extended to today.
The spring meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical society will be held at the University of Kansas Tuesday. A dinner honoring the speaker, Dr. C. C. Furnas, director of research for the Curtis-Wright corporation, is scheduled in the Memorial Union building at 6:30 p.m. and will be followed by a meeting in the lecture room of the Chemistry building at 8 p.m.
Deadline for entries for queen of the K-Club dance on May 11 was extended until noon today, Leroy Robison, K-club president, said to-day.

The Interfraternity council, in its latest action, has legalized the paddling, providing it takes place "for disciplinary purposes, inside the fraternity house." This scene, naturally, was taken indoors, and with a very, very naughty pledge. (Daily Kansan photo by Ralph Andrea.)

Moscow Radio Attack Byrnes' 25-Year Plan
London, (UP)—The Moscow radio attacked Secretary of State James F. Byrnes' proposal for a 25-year Big Four treaty guaranteeing German disarmament today, charging that it appeared to be a cover-up for American refusal to carry out occupation obligations.
The broadcast gave for the first time an indication of why Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov opposed discussion of the treaty when Byrnes proposed it to the foreign ministers in Paris.
Washington. (UF)—Transportation Director J. Monroe Johnson today directed coal-burning railroads to cut passenger service by half beginning May 15.
Conference May End In Complete Deadlock
Paris, (UP)—The possibility of the Big Four Foreign Ministers conference ending next week in a complete deadlock between Russia and the Western powers, without a single major agreement, was discussed onenly today.
The only reason for expecting the conference to continue longer now appeared to be a hope of reaching compromise agreements on major issues. If no agreement on peace treaty drafts is reached, it seemed certain that the first peace conference originally scheduled for May 1 would be postponed indefinitely or discarded altogether.
Washington. (UP)—UNRRA Director General Fiorello H. LaGuardia today accused the British-American-Canadian food board of "trifling" with his efforts to obtain food for the hungry peoples of the world, after the board's representatives failed to appear at a meeting which he had requested to discuss how much wheat UNRRA could expect for relief purposes during May.

The newly-revised Surplus Property act also raised the veteran priority on other surplus purchases to the number two level, just below that of federal agencies.

35 Candidates To Compete For K-Club Queen
Thirty-five candidates have been entered in the K-Club queen contest, Leroy Robison, K-Club president, announced today.

Faculty To Judge Engleman Status
Howard Engleman's eligibility as a candidate for All-Student Council presidency will be decided by a faculty committee, representatives of both campus political coalitions decided in a four-hour session Thursday night.
Engleman is a candidate for the Pachacamac-N O W party.
Information on the faculty committee choice came today from Lois Thompson and Guy Ashcraft, P.S. G.L.-Independent, and Dixie Gilland and Bob Holland, Pachacamac-N.O.W.
They said that Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, has been selected to appoint a faculty committee of seven which will decide the legality of Engleman's nomination. Each party group will exercise one peremptory challenge in rejecting one member of the committee, reducing the number to five.
At the meeting, both parties pledged themselves to a clarification of Article V, Section 2 (a) of the "Rules Governing Student Affairs".
Corrections' In Greek Slate
Pachacamac - N.O.W. candidates for class offices listed in yesterday's Kansan should have read Ray Evans, instead of Richard Evans for president of the senior class, and Larry Brown, instead of Robert Brown for president of the sophomore class.
which reads in part: "No student shall be eligible for the presidency who has not served on the council."
At Thursday night's meeting, both groups apparently agreed that Engleman's installation into the ASC was legal. The disagreement came over how long Engleman should have "served" on the Council to satisfy a constitutional requirement.
Engleman was appointed to fill the vacancy left by resignation of Glenn Warner, interfraternity council representative.
The committee, as announced today by Dean Werner, consists of Professors E. R. Elbel, John G. Blocker, John E. Hankins, Paul D. Haney, and W. H. Shoemaker.
At the A.S.C. meeting, Clyde Jacobs, an Independent candidate, submitted an injunction denying the right of Eugenia Hepworth, president, to hold the meeting after the constitutional 8:30 deadline. The scheduled meeting at 7:15 was not held because of lack of a quorum.
K. U.'s own Dorothy Dix is turning over her 'problem children' to someone else.
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, will retire at the end of the present school year as advisor of women, after 12 years of setting closing hours, giving late passes, and supervising women students.
Having a soft southern accent brought from her native Kentucky, Miss Meguiar is a reserved dignified white-haired lady, who has endearded herself to K.U. women by the considerate manner in which she has handled their problems.
Coming to the campus in 1917 Miss Meguiar was made an instructor in the department of home economics and later became an assistant professor, a position which she will continue to hold, the Daily Kansan learned today. Her successor has not yet been named.
Her childhood ambition was to be a piano teacher, and boasts of once playing the pipe organ, "pedals and all."
Virginia Wickert was elected president of Jay-Janes, University women's pep organization, at the initiation dinner held Thursday night.
Collecting antique furniture is her after-hours interest and she thinks auctions are "just lots of fun, even though I seldom buy anything."
In 1939, Miss Meguiar was flown to New York City as guest of Life magazine to review an article and pictures showing student life at the University.
Miss Meguiar received her degree from the University of Chicago, and studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. She first taught at Pennsylvania State college and later at Chicago university and the University of Texas.
Miss Meguiar acted as Dean of Women in the absence of Dean Agnes Husband in 1927-28. She has been a member of the advisory board of Y.W.C.A. and W.S.C.A., joint committee of student affairs, and Omicron Nu, honorary home economic's fraternity.
Other officers elected were Emily Stacey, vice-president; Rosemary Harding, secretary; Shirley Well-born, treasurer; Barbara Meyer, social chairman; Edith Marie Darby, communications chairman; and Mary Zeller and Dora Ann Brown, assistant communications chairmen. Betty Jo O'Neal is the retiring president, and Mary Morrill, retiring vice-president.
Wickert, Wellborn, Stacey,Harding New Jay Jane Executives
The initiates include Mariette Bennett, Dora Ann Brown, Lorraine Carpenter, Shirley Corlett, Marian Minor, Barbara Meyer, Helen Mather, Lucien Land, Charlotte Price, Evelyn Cooper, Marjorie Robbins, Virginia Wickert, Mary Jane Zollinger, Shirley Wellborn, Anne Marie Stevens, Mary Zeller and June Peterson.
Shirley Wellborn was named honor initiate. Miss Florence Black and Miss Maude Elliott, sponsors, attended the initiation dinner.

Politicians Get Off Base
Through the maze that so often accompanies political activity, this much is apparent. Part of the business of the meeting was to install a new member into the council as interfraternity representative. Independents claimed that that representative was being installed at this time so that he could be eligible for election as A.S.C. president in the coming election, and that the vacancy was made on the council expressly for that purpose. To block his installation, they decided not to attend the meeting and thus keep the council from acting.
The scene was the Pine room of the Union and the event was the AU-Student Council meeting.
But what does matter to the Daily Kansan and to all students on the Hill is that parties have begun playing politics with the student council now in office. It is on that point that we register our objection.
Our parties are a vital part of student government and we certainly don't wish to stifle their activities, but they should know where to draw the line. The present council is in office to serve the entire student body and it should be allowed to do just that without hindrances from individual groups. Electioneering and party political activity are fine, but they have no place in the meetings and business of the council.
It matters not to the Daily Kansan who was primarily at fault in this bit of political horse-play. In fact, we are inclined to believe it was six of one and half-a-dozen of the other.
We have disagreements with the University administration, too, but this is one time when the students have made the mistake. What would your reaction be, if you were chancellor, and the students asked for more self-government after pulling a peanut-politician trick like this?
It doesn't add up very well for K.U. students eternally to holler their heads off about "not enough freedom in student government" and then to have the very groups that should be most interested in that student government come up with a stunt like this one.
Again we say, "more power to K.U.'s political parties," BUT don't interfere with the duly chosen student governing body to gain individual party ends.
We think that Thomas Huxley had education pegged about right when he said that the result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
The "marines have landed" returned to the news today, with the "invasion" of Alcatraz prison by a detachment of marines. Their job was to quell an uprising of convicts, and apparently they did their work well. Thank goodness one part of our armed forces remains ready to perform its duties.
'Jerk' By Definition
With forthright disregard for the purists, Charles Earle Funk, bachelor of science, doctor of letters, has decided to accolade the word "jerk" by including it in the next edition of the Funk and Wagnalls dictionary,—but there is a thudding anticlimax.
Where is the man's ear? A jerk is not merely unpopular; he is unpopular with overtones.
A drip, for instance, is unpopular because he is deficient socially; an ick because he is deficient musically; a dope, because he is deficient mentally. But a jerk manages triumphantly to combine all those deficiencies.
"Jerk" the lexicon will read: "An unpopular person."
A jerk is a spiller of knee-balanced buffets, an unhep stumbler over feet on the dance floor, a buyer of Brooklyn bridges—all at the same time.
Whatsamatter, Dr. Funk? —St. Louis Star Times
This may not be new but we still think it is one of the best descriptions of the "isms." Communism: If you have two cows, you give them to the government and the government gives you some milk. Nazism: If you have two cows, the government shoots you and keeps the cows. Capitalism: If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.
We agree with the Cleveland Press. What this world needs is more open minds and fewer open mouths.
Horace points out that the University got along without students last year, it got along without books this year, and it will probably have to get along without professors next year.
Well, who's next? Tommy Manville and his eighth wife have separated.
Jobby Lobby (IV): Dean Swarthout Says
'Kansas Calls For Well-Trained Public School Music Supervisors'
By D. M. SWARTHOUT (Dean, School of Fine Arts)
The call in Kansas and neighboring states for well-trained music supervisors and directors in the field of public school music remains urgent, as it has for the past several years.
not yet ready to take up their former positions or new ones until they have taken advantage of the present opportunities for additional study through refresher courses, or work towards a degree. Because of this, it seems evident that a shortage in music teachers, especially in men supervisors, is likely to continue for yet some time to come.
Salaries have been greatly increased during the past five years.
Even well before the beginning of the war, practically every graduate from the School of Fine Arts in school music who desired a position was placed. The call to military service of so many young men in charge of music administration in the schools brought about an acute shortage in music teachers, especially among those usually entrusted with the direction of the bands and orchestras over the country. While much of this work was taken over by young women, who in many cases stepped into the breach and did exceedingly well, yet the arrangement was in most instances considered an emergency one. With the return of the men from the service, much of this work in the larger instrumental groups is again being turned back to the men supervisors, with the voice and choral direction being largely in the hands of the women supervisors in music. In the smaller communities, however, the music supervisors will usually be in complete charge of both choral
The four-year bachelor of music education course at K.U. is, as constituted at present, a strong and comprehensive one. It is of interest to note that in the past several years, the number of K.U. students placed by the University teacher placement bureau in positions in schools in this part of the country, has been larger in the field of music than any of the other teaching fields. Likewise the requests made to the bureau for teachers has been greatest for teachers in music.
Colleges and universities maintaining music schools or departments have also felt the lack of capable men musicians for additions to their faculties and a recent survey by one of the prominent teacher placement bureaus of the midwest showed a strong call for well trained performer teacher musicians, especially those with at least a masters degree. The predominance of women in the field of music has made it possible to carry on the work in music over the country during the war with less adjustment necessary than was the case in other professional fields.
Because of the liberal government aid to servicemen, many of the returning veterans who previously were doing music supervision in the public schools are

An annual informal costume party maintains top billing among members of Delta Chi fraternity. On the social calendar for the remainder of the year are the spring formal, the "black and white" (formal), dances, and dinners.
The fraternity was founded at Cornell university in 1890 as a social group whose membership was restricted to law students. In 1921, the ban was lifted and membership was extended to men in all departments of college.
Kansas chapter, one of 37 active chapters, was installed at the University in 1923. The Delta Chi's favor the white carnation as the fraternity flower, and red and buff as colors. The pin is the Greek letter Delta superimposed on Chi.
Outstanding among the activities of members of Delta Chi in recent years was the installation of Dandelion day, founded in 1941 by Charles Wright.
Having returned to the campus this spring, after a three-year absence, members will move into their chapel, 1245 West Campus road, next fall.
Chapter officers are Solon Gilmore, president; John Burton, vice-president; Millard Dornblaser, secretary; James Sherman, treasurer; Richard Bryant, pledge counselor; Millard Musselman, rush chairman;

June 1 Deadline For Faculty Research Grant Requests
Faculty members desiring grants from the graduate fund for 1946-47 research projects are being asked to submit their requests in writing to the graduate research committee by June 1, J. H. Nelson, graduate school dean and committee chairman, said today.
Dean Nelson explained that grants cannot be paid directly as salaries, since the "research" item in the University budget is entirely from the maintenance fund. He added that amounts remaining from grants on projects now completed are to be returned to the fund.
He mentioned that each person submitting a request will be helping the committee if he obtains in writing the endorsement of his department chairman.
Information to be furnished with each application includes; the nature of the project and probable results to be obtained; present state of completion; amount necessary and specific purposes for which each portion is to be used; and an estimate of the amount needed to complete the project.

'Old Timer' Moves to Mankato After 35 Years in KU Shop
Miss Prater is a College junior. Mr McJones is a junior in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The wedding will take place in August.
One of the real "old timers" has left the campus.
When he came to the University print shop in 1911, he was the big shot—a smooth-running, hard-working, cylinder printing press. He printed everything—the Daily Kansan, magazines, and pamphlets.
He saw the first journalistic offerings of some pretty good writers, too. Among them were the late Raymond Clapper, columnist and war correspondent, Ben Hibbs, editor of the Saturday Evening Post; and Chet Shaw, executive editor of Newsweek.
Others were Chancellor Malott, Fred Eldsworth, alumni association secretary, Edwin F. Abels, publisher of the Lawrence Outlook, and J. W. Murray, managing editor of the Journal-World.
Before he came, two men were hired to dig a shallow pit, so when he was installed, he could be serviced from underneath. Before the men stopped digging, they were down 12 feet to solid rock, and they told the boss they'd have to have dynamite if he wanted it any deeper.
The Old Timer lost some work in 1822, when a new press was added, to take care of some of the book and magazine work. Two years later came a bigger blow—a duplex press to print the Daily Kansan. They say down in the print shop that it took the old boy several months to recover from that one. But he still used up lots of ink and white paper printing the larger magazines and books.
So now the Old Timer is going to work out west. Once again he'll be the big shot of his print shop. He's moving to Mankato, where he'll roll off the weekly Jewell County Record.
In 1941, a newcomer moved into the shop. He was an automatic book press, a speed merchant. From then on, the Old Timer got pretty slim pickings. As the years went by, T. C. Rythe, University press superintendent, began checking up. He found there just wasn't enough to keep the old boy busy anymore.
He outlasted everyone in the University press except Guy Pennock, plant foreman, and Prof. L. N. Flint, who once supervised the print shop. His 12-foot hole in the floor is being covered over and cemented, but he leaves a more valuable memory behind—the record of lots of work performed.

Reed To Appoint Several to Academies
Senator Clyde M. Reed, Washington, D. C., will appoint several men to vacancies at the United States Military and Naval Academies for the year 1947, a letter to Chancellor Deane W. Malot, announced today.
"In order to select my candidates it has always been my policy to require all applicants for appointment to take a competitive civil service examination, which is held once a year usually in July or August," the senator's letter stated. "This examination does not in any way substitute for the mental and physical entrance examination given by the Academies, Senator Reed explained.
The examinations are divided into three parts—algebra and plane geometry; English composition and literature; and United States history. To be eligible for the examination a man must be between the ages of 17 and 21; or if he has been a member of the armed forces for at least a year, he will be eligible if he is not more than 23 years old.
Application blanks for the examination may be obtained from the chancellor's office.

Choir To Give 'Requiem' In Memory Of K.U. War Dead
'Rest Eternal, Grant Unto Them, Lord'— Verdi's Mass To Be Sung at 4 p.m. Sunday
"Rest eternal, grant unto them, Lord; and let light everisting lighten upon them."
These words are from Guiseppe Verdi's "Grand Requiem Mass," to be presented by a 250-voice choir and the University symphony orchestra, in honor of the 225 K.U. war dead at 4 p.m. Sunday in Hoeh, auditorium $ ^{a} $
Sunday in Hoch auditorium. Part of the program, which will last an hour and a half, will be broadcast over KFKU from 4 until 5 p.m.
The "Requiem" performance will be preceded by memorial talks from Gov. Andrew F. Schoeppel and Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and a dedication of the University gold star flag. Invitations have been sent to the families of the University war dead.
"Many families are expected to attend the service and one mother is coming all the way from New York." Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the Requiem committee, said today.
The guard of honor for the gold star flag will be Roger Arnold, E. F. Burke, James Walker, James Bowman, R. D. Tiper, and Joseph Barrington, from the Navy R.O.T.C.; and John Black, Clarence Francisco, R. A. Nicholas, James Henderson, Leon Sherwood, and W. C. Stringer from the Army R.O.T.C. Former service-women who will assist in the flag-raising are Irene Marshall, Mrs. Adelaide Marquand, and Mrs. Priscilla Jones. Members of the University Veterans' club will serve as ushers.
The Verdi "Requiem," in Latin, has been given twice before at the University, the last time being April 30, 1929, in the spring music festival. The chorus taking part in the performance with orchestra accompaniment include the a capella端 and the combined movie end
When's glee clubs. Soloists will be Arts, Marie Wilkins, soprano; Miree Peabody, contralto; Joseph Wilkins, tenor, all instructors in the School of Fine Arts; and Reinhold Schmidt, bass, from Chicago.
"The idea of a memorial service first occurred to me last fall," explained D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts. "We surveyed the possibilities in the music field and hit upon the idea of presenting Verdi's 'Requiem Mass'."
"This concert mass had an interesting beginning," Dean Swarthout said. "After the death of the great Italian poet and statesman, Alessandro Manzoni, in 1873, it was suggested that a group of Italian composers write a requiem mass dedicated to this man who helped to bring about a united Italy."
"After submitting their work, it was found that most of the compositions were too mediocre for public presentation. The only selection of

fine quality was that written by Verdi," he continued.
"Centering his work around this one selection," which became the third movement (Libera Me) of the Verdi 'Requiem', the composer soon completed the 'Grand Requiem Mass' and dedicated it to Gioacchino Rossini, Italian composer. A mass of this type is not used in the Catholic church, but is of a more heroic conception." Dean Swarthout said.
Other members of the committee in charge of organizing the service and designing the souvenir programs are Miss Helen Skilton, Miss Dessa Bush, Mike Andrews, J. Sheldon Carey, Miss Gladys Hendrieks, and Miss Arvid Jacobson, all instructors in the School of Fine Arts. Miss Edna Hill, home economics professor, is in charge of making the gold star flag.
20-Year-Old English Bride Dies in Arms Of G.I. Husband
Nottingham, Eng. (UP)—Mrs. Joseph Cananzey, wife of a former paratrooper from Taunton, Mass., who flew to England to be with her in her last hours, died in her husband's arms.
Cananzezy had flown from the United States on funds raised by his fellow townsmen at Taunton. His wife, who would have been 20 years old Saturday, was a victim of tuberculosis.
The 22-year-old ex-GI married the English girl during the war. He said that before she died she whispered to him, "Goodbye darling. We will meet again where there are no partings."
Taunton residents provided the money for Cananzey's trip to England after doctors refused to allow his wife to be moved to the United States.

In three of the most recent no-hit, no-run games hurled in the majors, the other half of the battery has done more than its share to help give the pitcher fame.
Bob Feller, who admits that a catcher is the "best friend a pitcher can have," claims that he might not have been able to win either of his "near perfect" games had it not been for the hitting of his battery mate.
In his 1940 masterpiece against the White Sox, Feller needed a triple by Mets' Hemsley, which drove in Jeff Heath. "get the winning run in a 1. 1 to 0. game."
In Tuesday's no-hitter, Catcher Frankie Hayes slammed a ninth inning homer that gave his margin of victory.
Ed Head also got some important stick work from Catcher Ferrell Anderson when he hurled his recent no-hitter. Anderson got two hits in four trips, one of which was a home run.
--gooey pastry they serve at 5 a.m. tastes like horsemeat. And Andy was not loathe to let people know that his mount, Dark Jungle, had a terrific chance when they run for the roses on Saturday.
Anderson, who starred in football at K.U., for three years before graduating in 1939, is featured in story in this week's Sporting News.
Anderson played guard for the Jayhawkers, and was captain of the team his senior year. He signed All-Big Six honors in 1938.
He also starred for the Jayhawkers on the diamond, and was signed to a contract with the Yankees just 15 hours before he was graduated.
John Kimbrough, former Texas A. and M. All-American fullback has signed a contract to play professional basketball with the Los Angeles conferences.
Kimbrough played with the New York Yankees as a grider before the war, and was recently discharged from the air force.
"Jarring John" was the most widely heralded footballer in the nation when he was in college. He was considered the same sort of crusher on the gridiron as Doc Blanchard of Army is today. He was the most sought after player, when time rolled around to sign a professional contract, but the war interrupted his career.
My choice to take the American league pennant this year, the Boston Red Sox, is leading the way and is surprising most of the so-called experts.
Most of them thought Boston wouldn't have the hurling strength to capture the pennant, but they all conceded that Boston's hitting power would be the strongest in the league.
Jervis Breaks 1941 Record
The question mark pitching staff, however, has compiled the best early season record in either major league. The top four Red Sox hurlers have won 11 of the Boston club's 13 victories so far. Hughson, Harris, Dobson, and Ferriss have turned in some fine jobs on the mound.
A new intramural swimming record was set in the 50-yard breast stroke Thursday night, when Stanley Jervis, Beta Theta Pl, covered the distance in 29.6 seconds. The old record of 31.5 was set by Stevens of the Newman club in 1941.
Semi-finals were run off in the 50-yard breast stroke, the 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard free style, 50-yard free style, and the individual medley relay.
Bill Holloway, Alpha Tau Omega was the only man to qualify for the finals in three events, the 100-yard backstroke, 50-yard free style, and medley relay.

Rain Halts Yesterday's Game With Sedalia in Fourth
The game between the Jayhawkers and Sedalia army air base was called on account of rain in the fourth inning Thursday with the Crimson and Blue leading 10 to 1.
The muddy field and a steady drizzle made the game a slow contest with several errors and spotty playing. The Jayhawkers were credited with five hits to score their ten runs.
It is still too early to say that they will definitely win the title, but if early season performances are any indication, the other clubs will have a hard job trying to keep up the pace the Red Sox are setting.

Come the sun and a fast track, Lord Boswell will be mighty tough to fasten. He'll also be rugged in the mud, just to confuse the issue.

And, be it either sun or mud, Lord Boswell and Hampden will have their difficult times with the dark brown called Dark Jungle.

"It's going to take a lot of horse to beat us," Loturco bubbled through a gulp of coffee. "We can give them all trouble on either a muddy or fast track. The big worry is Lord Boswell, along with Hampden in the mud.
The guy sounded like a miniature Leo Durocher.

And, strangely enough, the feeling around the backstretch where men make their living off or horses is that the boy from Brooklyn has something there.

Most Horses Since 37 In Kentucky Derby
Louisville, Ky. (UP)—Prospects of an off track failed to narrow the field for the 72nd annual running of the Kentucky Derby today and 17 horses, the most to face the barrier in the classic since 1937, appeared to be sure bets to go to the post.
Their owners were scheduled to start laying the final $1,000 starting fee on the line beginning at 8 a.m. (EDT) and despite the forecast for unfavorable racing conditions it looked like all 17 would be at the barrier at post time tomorrow.

Our Superior Geology Department Expands 481 Per Cent in a Year
If you really want to learn about the history of the earth, you needn't hesitate about signing up for a 10:30 geology class in Lindley when it does follow that 9:30 English class in Fraser, because it takes only 10 minutes, if you walk fast enough, to go from the top of 14th street to Lindley hall. (And geologically speaking that's no time at all.)
The geology department is expanding. The space on the second floor recently occupied by naval trainees has been reconverted into classrooms, offices and laboratories. The new equipment delivered early this spring has been set up and there are plans for more development and improvement.
The number of students majoring in geology has increased in one year from 16 to 77 (481 per cent), and the number of students taking optional courses in geology is on the upgrade, according to Dr. L. R. Laudon, head of the department. This semester he said, 208 students are enrolled in one geology course. There are approximately 15 geology students in the graduate school.
Faculty members of the department combine teaching with research. Dr. Laudon stated that the
teaching staff will be enlarged and that "other specialists will be added to those we now have."
Dr. R. C. Moore, in charge of research, is cited in Who's Who in America for his research in petroleum geology, and for his authorship of geological publications. Dr. M. L. Thompson, professor of geology, is a world authority in his field. Dr. J. C. Frye, Dr. R. M. Dryer, and Dr. W. H. Schoewe, professors of geology, are authors of many publications on various phases of geology.
E. B. Stouffer, dean of the University, recently said that the geology department is "one of the best in the world," explaining that this due to its personnel of specialists.
Dr. Lauden commented, "One would expect to find a strong geology department in the Mid-West, where there is much oil production."
At the undergraduate level, three courses of study are available. The bachelor of arts degree gives a broad cultural background in geology, preparatory to graduate work. Those desiring more specialized technical training may obtain a bachelor of science degree. The degree of petroleum engineering with a geology option is available for students
wanting maximum technical training in a four- year course. Then you always can take a course in geology "just for the fun of it." Visit Lindley hall sometime to see the fossil, rock, and "earth" displays.

Reinforcements From Leavenworth Fly To Alcatraz Where Prisoners Continue Battle Against Recapture
BULLETIN
San Francisco. (UP)—Marines and prison guards were using bazookas, demolition bombs, hand grenades and other weapons of war in the riot at Alcatraz Island.
Reinforcements from federal penitentiaries at Leavenworth, Denver and McNeil Island, Wash., were being flown to Alcatraz Island to aid the guard force which is battling prison rioters, a spokesman for the Justice department said today.
The number of reinforcements being sent was not revealed, but the officer said between 20 and 20 officers were going to the prison where a band of desperate convicts, foiled in their attempt to escape, are now fighting grimly to avoid capture by U.S. marines and prison guards.
Explosions of hand grenades were shaking the penintentiary at five minute intervals, Jack Dailey, UP correspondent, reported by radiophone from a police launch which is circling the "Rock".
*As the struggle continued in great fury, Federal Prisons Director James Bennett announced in Washington that the remaining rioters had been cut off "and it's only a matter of time now before the whole situation will be under control."
On the island, Warden Johnston issued a terse order to "shell them out." Bennett said in Washington, however, that prison authorities indented to take the remnants of the poisoning prisoners "without loss of life." He indicated officials would move with extreme caution to "prevent further injuries to guards."
The rebellious convicts, armed with an arsenal of guns, continued to exchange fire with maneuvering guards throughout the morning. A barrage of tear gas and smoke shells whistled through the barred windows of the prison's main cell-block. They exploded inside.
fight that now had no apparent purpose except continued bloodshed. Avenues of escape were blocked solidly.
Approximately 16 kidnapers, murders, robbers and armed crime-hardened federal felons were united in an apparent fight to the finish-
Warden Johnston early today named five convicts "as the ring leaders who seized arms and shot officers who were hostages in their plot to make a mass escape."
He identified them as Joseph Paul Cretzer, 35, bank robber and murderer; Bernard Paul Coy, 46, armed robber; Miran Aden Thompson, 29, kidnaper-murderer; Sam Shockley, 36, kidnaper-bank robber; Marvin Franklin Hubbard, 34, kidnaper, and Clarence Carnes, 19, kidnaper.
Two destroyer escorts and five coast guard cutters and patrol boats maintained a tight blockade around "The Rock" to prevent any convicts from escaping across the mile and one-half wide channel to the main-land.
The detachment of more than 20 marines, many of them battle-hardened veterans of the Pacific war, went ashore from a patrol boat at 6:18 p.m., more than four hours after a convict overpowered a guard, seized his submachine gun and rallied other inmates in an attempted break.
The majority of the 300 prisoners did not participate in the attempted break. They were herded out of their cells and into a yard where, under the watchful eyes of armed marines, they spent the night in the cold.
The riot started just after 2 p.m. (PST) yesterday when Coy jumped Burch and seized his submachine-gun, pistol and keys to the cellblock.
Five other prison officers noticed the commotion and rushed to the gun gallery. They were cut down by fire from Coy and several other convicts whom he had gotten out of their cells.
Battenfeld To Be Only Scholarship Hall For Men Next Year
Battenfeld will be the only men's residence hall in operation under the scholarship plan next fall, Dean Gilbert Ulmer, chairman of the men's residence hall scholarship committee, said today.
Other halls, Jolife, Carruth, and Templin, will be used as regular University dormitories to provide housing for the expected all-time high enrollment next semester. Templin will be occupied by women students and the others by men.
Awards to these residence halls, in effect a financial grant of almost free rent while attending he University, previously have been made on the basis of scholastic record, character, and financial need. The great majority of men students expected to attend the University next fall will have government financial assistance under the G.I.Bill, Dean Ulmer asid.
under the GSA. Briefly Under the original policies the committee cannot continue to grant awards to the great majority of such applicants, who do not qualify under the financial clause, he added.
Halls were kept filled during the war, with scholarship grants still in effect, because the committee believed there were enough deserving students enrolled who required financial aid, he said. Since the halls filled, some students who did not meet the financial need requirement were admitted.
"Use of the halls as dormitories is purely a temporary measure," Dean Ulmer emphasized. "After this post-war housing situation has been remedied, we expect to return all present scholarship halls to their original and intended use, plus several others for which funds have been raised."
A Chem Student Went Through K.U. on $75
The "Brains in Bailey's Barn" haven't restricted themselves to the chemistry laboratories, according to the humorous reminiscences of Dr. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the department, at a meeting of the Chemistry club Wednesday.
Eating Exhibit A of a murder trial, a box of chocolates suspected of containing strychine, and wheeling a baby buggy down the dusty main street of Lawrence to meet a prospective student at the train station were only two incidents in the varied life of Dr. Bailey, former chairman of the department, Dr. Brewster recalled.
"The biggest failure of the chemistry department," Dr. Brewster quoted Dr. E. C. Franklin, former professor, as having said, "was to let William Allen White go into journalism, rather than chemistry."
College expenses for Dr. Hamilton Cady, former professor, amounted to a two-digit figure during the four years he was a student here. Seventy-five dollars cash, plus the money he received for commercial chemical analyses, paid his expenses. Dr. Cady was the professor credited, not with having discovered helium, but with having found a large commercial source of gas in Kansas.
The name "Bailey's barn," Dr. Brewster explained, fit the chemistry building at the time it was built. "It was a big barny building when there were about as many students in the University as are now in the department, but it has been outgrown for many years," he said.
The next meeting of the Chemistry club will be held May 16 with N. W. Storer, astronomy professor, as guest speaker.

Ancient Pieces Chosen For Display in Thayer
A collection of some of the oldest things in Spooner-Thayer museum has been chosen as the May "masterpiece of the month," to be displayed through May 11 in the main gallery of the museum.
Also included in the selection is a string of mummy beads, fastened with a scarab clasp, which is the emblem of resurrection. Composed of small clay figures and symbols which represent gods, these beads were put into the grave to ward off evil spirits which might try to harm the dead.
From ancient Egypt have come many objects which have been unearthed in the tombs discovered in the past two centuries. Among these finds have been small clay bronze figures which make up the masterpiece group. According to the Egyptian Museum at Cairo, these figures may date from 1000 B.C. to 30 B.C.
Italian 'Stork Club' Founded by Student
The "Stork Club" set up in Leghorn, Italy, by Red Cross worker, Margaret Murray, a K.U. student in 1941, is not a night club for soldiers, but a temporary home for prospective mothers who are married to American soldiers.
Miss Murray notifies the G.I. father when he has become a parent and provides care for mothers and babies after their discharge from U.S. military hospitals there.
Arabs Mobilize For Emergency
Jerusalem. (UP) — The Arab higher committee warned the British government today, a day after the Anglo-American commission recommended admission of 100,000 Jews to Palestine, that the Arabs will defend themselves against any encroachment on their rights.
The warning came on the heels of an Arab higher committee adoption of a resolution to organize civil disobedience and mobilize Arab youth "for emergency service."
The committee already has proclaimed a general strike of Arabs throughout Palestine tomorrow in protest against the Anglo-American report.
The extent to which the Arabs were prepared to go in civil disobedience and youth mobilization was not clear immediately.
On the eve of the Arabic general strike, Jewish quarters denounced Premier Clement Attlee's statement in the British house of commons yesterday that all illegal armies in Palestine must be disbanded before 100,000 could enter the Holy Land.

No State Benefits To Striking Coal Miners
Topeka. (UP)—The Kansas State Labor commission today announced that coal miners involved in labor disputes were not entitled to state unemployment benefits.
The commission said that following specific investigation of conditions they had reached a decision that unemployment benefits would not be paid to striking coal miners.
'Why We Say' Feature Begins In Daily Kansan
A new feature, "Why We Say," will begin Monday in your University Daily Kansam; to explain the obscure origins of common expressions which make our modern language so colorful. It is based n the theory that K.U. students at some time are curious about the background of the colloquialisms and figures of speech which roll off their tongues so easily and naturally.
A grant of several thousand dollars for research on tularemia has been made to Prof. Cora Downs of the bacteriology department by the National Advisory Health council of the U.S. Public Health service.
The University has not received final notice of the grant with an announcement of the exact amount of the grant, Professor Downs said, but it has been officially, approved as one of 13 Federal grants-in-aid for general medical research voted by the council at a recent meeting.
"Tularemia is of interest because it occurs in wild rabbits in Kansas. Professor Downs stated. "This grant will cover a part of an intensive and extensive study of the problem of tularemia being carried on at this University."
Other agencies are being asked to extend the study, Professor Downs added.
Professor Downs has published number of articles dealing with tula remia in scientific journals during the past 15 years.
"Why We Say" is the outgrowth of a lifelong hobby of Stan J. Collins. For many years, Mr. Collins has been delving through old records and books to track down the bases upon, which are built such everyday expressions as "take the cake," "win hands down," "grass widow," and "kick the bucket."
Flour Worth $25,000 Lost-
Atchison Warehouse Fire
The co-authors of "Why We Say invite your suggestions. If you would like to know the origin or some of your favorite expressions they will try to include it in the material appearing in this paper Simply write to them in care of editor, Daily Kansan.
Achison (UP)—Damage in a fi which destroyed the Blair Millin company's flour and bag warehous Wednesday has been estimated a $150,000.
To him, it has been a fascinating and never ending avocation and he explains that "kick the buckle" originates with the lowly pig and "win hands down" has nothing to do with the game of poker.
The estimate included $25,000 worth of flour, according to Blain Hackney, president, 36 of the company. Firemen stopped the flames in the two-story frame warehouse after 90 minutes and kept them from spreading to the adjacent building housing the grinding mill. The mill was not damaged.
Mr. Collins was graduated from the University of Detroit and was admitted to the state bar of Michigan. When war threatened, he did special espionage work for the F.B.I. and joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1942. He was honorably discharged in January, 1946 with a commission of Lieutenant commander after 46 months of service much of it on convoy duty in the Atlantic.

U.S. Reconversion Falters As Coal Shortage Spreads
BULLETIN
---
Washington. (UP)—Sen. Scott Lucas, Illinois Democrat, today called for criminal prosecution of coal strike leaders.
(By United Press)
Thousands of workers were laid off today, and more factories reduced their output as the coal shortage tightened its grip on the nation.
The coal famine already had plunged Chicago, Washington, and Philadelphia into semi-darkness, and five railroads had cut their midwestern
Engleman Case: He's Eligible
Howard Engleman's nomination for the presidency of the All-Student council was approved Friday in a unanimous decision of a five-man faculty committee.
The question submitted to the committee was a clarification of Article V, Section 2 (a) of the "Rules Governing Student Affairs," which reads in part: "No student shall be eligible for the presidency who has not served on the council."
The committee was appointed by Dean Henry Werner, at the request of the two rival campus political organizations, to decide the eligibility of Engleman, Pachacamac.-N.O.W. candidate, who will oppose Wendell Nickell, P.S.G.L.-Independent, in Thursday's election.
Engleman was installed last week to fill the post of Inter-Fraternity councilman, left open by the resignation of Glenn Warner.
"The language of the constitution could be considered as leaving the question open to reasonable doubt, but the committee decided it was not its duty to determine the 'intent' of the constitution if the action met the requirement of the 'letter' of the constitution," Prof. John E. Hankins, committee spokesman, said.
Other faculty members were Professors John G. Blocker, E. R. Elbel, Paul D. Haney, and W. H. Shoemaker.
Professor Hankins explained the P.S.G.L.-Independent contention as being that "the statement of the constitution was intended to mean that candidates for the presidency should have adequate experience in the council to make them valuable to the University when elected."
The opposing Pachacamac view, he said, was based on a literal interpretation of the constitutional provision in question.
Clyde Jacobs represented the P.S.G.L.-Independent parties before the faculty committee. Robert Holland represented Pachacamac-N.O.W. Professor Hankins described the meeting as "entirely amicable and good-natured."
The on again-off again Raeburn case is off today.
On-Again, Off Again Raeburn Is Off Now
The K-club varsity Saturday probably will be cancelled, if Raeburn's band is unable to appear. Hal Hunter, dance manager, said today. The committee will attempt to postpone the dance and have Raeburn play at a later date.
A telephone call to Raeburn's Hollywood agency this afternoon will decide the question which arose when a telegram was received by Hunter from Raeburn on Saturday. Raeburn's band travels by Army transport and due to the shortage of transportation, the Army has cancelled all plane reservations.
service sharply to save fuel.
Col. J. Monroe Johnson, director of the office of defense transportation, said the strike of soft coal miners will affect the railroads another year, even if the walkout is settled soon.
Johnson said coal which should be moving now will have to be moved by rail next fall. This, he said, will cause a freight log-jam at the time when reconversion is hitting its stride.
Meanwhile, the steel industry cut still further the flow of steel from blast furnaces and open hearths. The Carnegie-Illinois Steel corporation announced that it would close the world's largest steel mill at Gary, Ind., today.
All but about 50 of Chicago's 334 motion picture theaters were closed today, and officials said they would remain closed until the coal strike is settled.
In Washington congressmen and industry representatives charged today that United Mine Workers Chief John L. Lewis is seeking to make his union more powerful than the government by usurping the constitutional power of congress to levy taxes.
They testified before a house judiciary subcommittee which began considering legislation to outlaw royalty payments on industrial production. Lewis' foremost demand in the coal strike is a union-administered health and welfare fund for his miners. It would be financed by a royalty on all coal mined.
The hearings began amid a congressional clamor over the 36-day-old soft coal strike and amid indications that new government settlement moves may be imminent.
Rep. Howard W. Smith charged that the National Labor Relations board had failed in its duties by not acting against Lewis' demand.
Sen. Scott W. Lucas previously had warned the senate that the bituminous coal strike "could easily become an insurrection against the government" and demanded that the President seize the mines to stop it.
Smith said the national labor relations act provides that it "shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer . . . to contribute financial support" to any union. He said the NLRB, proceeding under this provision, should subpoena the UMW before it and order it to desist.
"If they failed to desist, then they should be called before the courts," Smith said.
In a scathing attack on Lewis, Lucas told the senate that the strike "is revolutionary in character and scope." Lewis, he charged, is following in the footsteps of those economic royalists whom he helped tumble from the throne in years gone by."
"This is one of those new breeds of strikes beginning to harass the United States which have no legal or moral justification." Lucas said.
Informed sources have indicated that Mr. Truman so far has developed no plan for seizing the mines. The Railway Express agency has banned all express shipments, effective May 10, except essential services.

A.V.C. Breaks The Ice
At its meeting Tuesday, the K.U. chapter of the American Veterans Committee recommended that students eating at the Union cafeteria take only one slice of bread and further recommended that organized houses on the campus join in a food conservation campaign.
This action may seem relatively small but it is a step in the right direction that should be taken up by others immediately.
On April 15 we pointed out in this column that Cornell university had inaugurated a food-saving program—(no bread at evening meals and one meatless day each week)and we recommended that K.U. embark on a similar campaign.
Another plan has come to our attention. The students of Bryn Mawr college are not only reducing their own food consumption but are collecting food and shipping it to Europe. More than 800 packages of food and clothing have already been sent abroad by Bryn Mawr students.
These campus conservation measures should be adopted throughout the country. Students should demonstrate their full understanding of the present food crisis and their willingness to do their full share.
President Truman has pointed out that "every slice of bread counts." Americans are too often prone to adopt the attitude of "let George do it." But this is one time when every one must assume his responsibility. No one will quarrel with the Golden Rule. That principle must be applied realistically to this issue now.
The next two months will be crucial for millions of people in famine areas. Our sacrifice now will be minute compared with the immense good it will achieve.
To our knowledge, the recommendation of the A.V.C. is the first action of this nature by any University organization. May it not be the last!
Time To Reconsider
Eight a.m. classes next fall may well create a new problem for University women, an even earlier curtailment of nocturnal activities. Ten p.m. has been suggested as the probable closing hour for weekdays. If that decision becomes final there will no doubt be a wall of protest from both sexes.
The question seems to be whether it is best to be strict and protect the "youngun" or whether it would be better to treat University women as adults and trust that they "know when to come in out of the rain."
For the past few years, closing hours have fluctuated within 15 or 30 minutes of the present time. To the administration, the problem has been to stabilize a time to suit the various age levels of University women, from the 17-year-old freshman to the 22-year-old senior.
After observing some of the abuses of the present system for the past few years, one is led to believe that now is the time to consider a new plan, when the expansion of the University is bound to result in other changes of policy.
Although students will have earlier classes next fall, it is quite unlikely that they will retire earlier the night before.
Weekend closing hours present another problem. Easy modes of travel and the proximity of Kansas City and Topeka take many students out of town for weekends. Even the most pious student is reluctant to leave Kansas City at 11 p.m. in order to be safely back in Lawrence by closing hours.
On the other hand, the University woman feels obliged to stay out (because it is a 12:30 night) until the last bell has rung and the last date swept through the door. It is more socially acceptable to sit and stare at the walls rather than bid friend date adieu one minute before closing hours.
Other universities have recognized and handled the problem in different ways, from the rather conservative plan at K.U. to the other extremes such as no closing hours at the University of Chicago and 2:30 closing hours at the University of Wisconsin.
It should be worthwhile to investigate more thoroughly the systems employed at other universities. Women who are here for a good time will have their fun in spite of closing hours, and those who are here for an education will get their studying done whether there are closing hours or not.
A more liberal system of closing hours should be worth a trial. It might be found that University women would abuse this privilege no more than University men do.-H.H.
We second the words of General Eisenhower made in a recent address: "Our whole educational system must go beyond producing the best doctors, lawyers, or engineers. People must learn to live in peace with other peoples whose basic philosophy of life are different from their own."
Movie double-features cause some amusing combinations. Here are three recently playing in Kansas City; "Born for Trouble"—"It All Came True"; "Tomorrow Is Forever"—"Man Alive"; "Frontier Gal"—"Gay Senorita."

'Prospect Good For Engineers'
(Dean, School of Engineering and Architecture)
By J. O. JONES
The work prospect for students who will graduate in engineering this year is definitely good.
In spite of work stoppages, for one reason or another, most major employers of engineers are engaged now in planning for not only this year, but for 1947 and beyond. The shutdown of industrial plants, whether because of strikes, lockouts, governmental interference, or for other reasons, interferes with the production of goods, but has little effect on research and development work, and other long range planning with which the engineers are concerned.
Since the beginning of this semester, a number of personnel officers of major companies have been on the campus to interview seniors. Several more are scheduled to be in here in the next few weeks. The number of such officers who come each year is increasing. During the war the demand for technically trained personnel was acute, and many companies whose representatives had never visited the University of Kansas discovered that this state is not merely a fairly wide boundary between the Missouri river and the Rocky Mountains. The representatives of several of these companies plan to include the University of Kansas in their regular itineraries in the future. Already one from the Atlantic seaboard has been here. Another from the Atlantic and one from the Pacific seaboard are scheduled to come during early May.
Thus there is an accumulated deficiency in the number of technically trained men of 35 to 40,- 000. Although former students are coming back to the campus in increasing numbers, it will be several years before the supply will catch up with the demand
Not only is the outlook for this year good, but the next several years look promising. The number of men graduating in engineering each year before the war was about 15,000. The United States was the only one of the nations at war which did not require promising young engineers to continue in college until graduation. Consequently, in the years 1943, 1944, and 1945 the number of graduates declined to an average of less than 2,500.
Rock Chalk Talk BY MARILYN STEINERT
Talk about definitions. Professor Woodruff gave his biology class a choice of synonyms for the word sweat: a horse sweats, a man perspires, and a woman glows.
Baseball talk. Georgia Lee Westmoreland asked Alberta Cornwell what position she was playing on the team. Alberta replied "Right short." Georgia Lee then inquired, "May I play real tall?"
Observations on life. Professor Davis told prospective candidates for the presidency that, "When a man becomes president, he is out in his BVD's to the public."
Come and get it. As if to rub it in, Chi O guests attending the Sigma Nu party found the spotlight focused on the flag pole from which dangled a Chi O trophy.
As advice to new army recruits, Professor Davis said to think twice before speaking to a sergeant because "it's hard to tell a sergeant that there is much to be said for either side of a question."
The vicious circle. Keith Wilson borrowed two dollars from Sarah Smart when they went to hear Tex Benecki in Kansas City last week. It seems the dance was too expensive for Keith's funds. But no sooner had Keith pocketed the money when
Don May came up and touched him for a little. Don enjoyed the loan for about two seconds when Bill Sharp cornered him and borrowed some moola. The cycle was completed when Sharp was approached by Wilson for a little cash.
Tit for Tat. Evidently the girls at the Alpha Chi house won't be traveling far since the Delt raid the other evening. It seems the boys have quite a few pieces of Alpha Chi luggage and are willing to give them up only for the return of their trophies.
We see you. Every time the Signa Chi's eat dinner one of the waiters flips the light switch off and the boys start throwing water. Gene Miller thought he would fox the boys one night so he hid under the table until he thought it was safe to get out of the room dry. When he was just about to the door, "Splat," they let him have it.
Imitation that is. At a recent Alpha Chi rush week-ord, Dean Banker was entertaining with "an imitation of a goose. As soon as he was done, Jane Williams approached him and asked for an explanation of his imitation of a "duck." Jane's sorority sisters promptly and firmly led her upstairs, not only to explain the imitation but to give her some "fowl" education.
Parsons Plant To Burn TNT
Parsons. (UP) — Five-hundred-fifty tons of TNT will be burned by the army at the standby Kansas ordnance plant near here starting May 13, it was announced today.
The TNT will be burned in small amounts daily over a two-month period.
Capt. Donald M. McCrea, commanding officer, placed no value on the explosive but said its destruction would save about $300,000 that otherwise would be expended in keeping it in safe storage.
Kansas Wheat Reports Show 42. Million Bushels Stored
Topeka. (UP) -Wheat stored in Kansas as of April 1 totaled 42,337.000 bushels, federal-state agricultural statisticians have reported.

Linoleum Company Buys Student Designs
The designs of eight of the students in Miss Dessa Bush's freshman design class have been purchased by the Paraffine Companies, Inc., San Francisco, Calif., to be used as linoleum patterns.

Hollywood. (UP) — James Montgomery Flagg, the artist who glorified the American girl, blamed bobby-soxers today for undoing his life work.
Girls used to be luscious, he said dourly. Now they're plain indigestible.
"Everybody's laughing at American women," he said. "And why not? I'd laugh myself if I weren't so disgusted.
"A fine thing, when the most publicized American woman is the one who wears a man's dirty shirt, a sagging skirt and socks bagging around what pass for ankles.
"The bobby-soxers are running the American tradition of beautiful women."
The American girls Flagg draws are poised, serene and stately. They do not jitterbug, he said. They waltz to the buggy. And they are groomed to the teeth.
"I abbor sloppy women," he announced. "Teeth out of the comb, wrinkles in the stockings and hair everywhere — in the sink, on the soap, stuck in the hairbrush. And that's just the way they all are. Even my daughter. I can't tell her a thing."
Flagg, who just finished writing his autobiography, "Roses and Buckshot," came to Hollywood to paint a portrait of actress Rosalind Russell to illustrate her latest picture at RKO studios, "Sister Kenny."
Miss Russell, he said, was a woman of beauty and distinction. The kind who never would have been a bobbv-soxer.
"And I doubt that any bobby-soxer will ever grow up to be a Rosalind Russell," he added. "I sometimes doubt that any bobby-soxer will ever grow up. There aren't enough brains in the bunch to set fire to."
Not that brains mattered, he said. When he wanted intellectual conversation he'd go see a man.
"If women had an ounce of common sense in their heads, they would never dress like they do," he said. "The older women follow like sheep whenever a dress designer or a milliner dreams up a new silly fashion to make money.
"They lacquer their faces until they look like they would crack if a man touched them, they put rings on their arms like curtain rods and gold cuspidors on their ears. They fix themselves from head to foot in every possible seductive way and then they slap a man's face when he tries to seduce them."
"Every time I see a girl go bare-legged it reminds me of a raw leg of beef from the butchers' — and it's just as unappetizing. And that men's attire they affect — shirt and jeans
— is positively indecent.
"Do they know what every man — even a minister — thinks when he sees a girl go down the street in tight pants? He has an almost uncontrollable impulse to go up and slap her southern exposure."

'Y.M.'s Adaptability Is Causing Re-Growth Of Group'—Rogers
The Y.M.C.A.'s adaptability to local conditions around the world is causing a remarkable postwar regrowth of the association. H.B. Rogers, representative of the west central area council, said Thursday night at a reorganization meeting of the University Y.M.C.A., at the Union. About 60 students attended.
Ned Linegar, secretary, announced appointment of a nominating committee for Y offices, consisting of Dr. Calvin VanderWerf, Neal Woodruff, Luther Buchele, and Wendell Nickell. They will make public their selections of candidates in two or three days, Mr. Linegar said. Election will be held at the May 16 meeting.
In an introductory speech, Dr. VanderWerf said, "Educators do fairly well in training men to push their way to the top of the economic heap, but we often fail to give them a deep concern for the basic issues on which civilization rests. The Y.M.C.A. rounds out that area of education."
Mr. Rogers described the worldwide activity of the association, including a campaign for funds to replace bombed-out Y.M.C.A. buildings, and assistance to displaced persons in Europe.
"The policy of the Y.M.C.A. in training local officials to take charge of the organization has paid big dividends in post-war months," he said.
Parsons Man In Charge Of Labette County Flood Control

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Now that the Kentucky Derby has been run, a lot of interest will be focused on the revival on the Memorial day classic on the Indianapolis Motor speedway. The annual 500-mile race has furnished some thrilling incidents in past years.
Forty-six entries have been received to date for the May 30 event, the largest field in the history of the track. It promises to be one of the most interesting races of all time.
It is a grueling test for the drivers, and many have been killed or seriously injured. It is a dog-eat-dog contest from start to finish with each man trying to walk away with the winner's purse and a chance to go down in racing annals as one of the best.
The race has not been run since 1942, and, like the Derby, one of the largest crowds ever to attend is expected. It is a tiresome event to watch, but everyone is afraid to leave because something spectacular might take place.
Another classic is coming up soon, and that is the championship battle between Joe Louis and Billy Comm on June 19. The match will be staged in Yankee stadium in New York. The stadium has 85,000 seats, and all of them will be reserved for the bout.
Speculation as to whether Joe Louis will be able to retain his title against the younger Conn has been the topic among sports figures for weeks. We won't know until June 20.
Mike Jacobs should make a small fortune off the gate receipts. He has scaled the seats to run $10, $20, $30, $50, and $100 for the ringside seats. With a capacity crowd of 85,000, it doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure that both fighters and the promoter will take home a few chips after the battle.
Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter of all time, is scheduled to fly to Mexico May 15 for a conference with the Pasquel brothers about the Mexican baseball league.
It would be to the Pasquel brothers' advantage to pay Ruth even $50,000 because his name would add a lot of respect to the league.
Rumors have been circulating since he disclosed his plans for the trip that he would become the commissioner of the outlaw league. It is no secret that the Bambino would like to make some sort of connection with the game again, but he has always wanted to manage one of the big league clubs. Perhaps he might be persuaded to give up his managerial aspirations if he were offered enough cash.
Frye, Fishel, Abernathy Attend Two-State Meet
Prof. J. C. Frye, V. C. Fishel, and G. E. Abernathy of the Geological Survey attended a two-state meeting in Miami, Okla. Tuesday, called to discuss conditions of the water supply in southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma.
The immediate problem, according Professor Frye, is the decline of the water level in sandstone in the area from which such towns as Pittsburg, Baxter Springs, and Pitcher and Miami, Okla., obtain their water supply.

Thinclads Win 10 Of 15 Firsts
A pair of Jayhawk weight men, Charlie Black and Leroy Robison, turned in surprising performances as the Crimson and Blue swamped Kansas State, 86 to 45, in a dual track meet Saturday at Manhattan. Kansas captured 10 firsts out of 15 events.
Black was second high scorer with 14 points, only one point behind Kiser of the Aggies who took three firsts.

Charlie also took second in the shot put with a heave of 47 feet, and tied for second in the broad jump.
Robison came through with his best heave of the season to win the shot put at 48 feet, $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches. He also captured seconds in the javelin and discus events.
Johnny Jackson chalked up a double victory in the 220 and 440-yard dashes. Owen Peck took first in the 100-yard dash, and Harold Hinchie won the 880-yard dash. Hal Moore took the mile run, and the mile relay team came in first to complete the Jayhawkers' first place victories.

Russian Rouletteatal To Boy in High School
Oklahoma City. (UP) — Russian courier, the game you lose only once, proved fatal to 17-year-old obert Bruce Jewett, when the high school student demonstrated his technique to a 13-year-old girl friend her home.
The boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Newton C. Jeyewet, died three hours after father's new .44 caliber revolver a gaping hole in his temple. His friend, Carol Sue Paden, gave this account of his death to officers:
"Robert called me Tuesday afternoon and asked if I would go to a movie with him Tuesday night, and I old him that I didn't think mother could let me go, because Wednesday a school day. Then he told me that he had just gotten his pistol and iture was pretty. He said he'd bring love and show it to me.
"When he came to my house we were sitting on the divan in the living room and he showed me how he timed the pistol at a target pointing across the room. He pretended to shoot the pistol several times and I asked him not to do it any more so we unloaded it and put all but one bullet in his pocket. Then he snapped the pistol a few times with noth- in it.
He put one bullet back into the pistol and spun it several times and pointed it across the room and pulled the trumpet. Nothing happened.
He did this several times and then he asked me to put the bullet into the gun and spit it, so I did and he spun the cylinder again.
"The last time he did it I thought o saw the bullet go past the place where it fires, but when he put it up o his head and pulled the trigger it rent off."
Topeka Flour Mills Lack Wheat To Continue Business
newka. (UP)—The Page flour have closed because of lack wheat and the Ismert Hincke mill will be forced to close within two weeks, it was announced today. About 50 men were thrown out work by the Page closure and more than 100 will be out of work the Hincke mills close. Executives of the flour mills said they closed because the government is taking all available wheat supplies for exporting and domestic mills could get no wheat for grind-
'Iowa Coed Doomed To Spinsterhood'
Chicago (UP)—A shapely Iowa co-ed doomed herself to spinsterhood when she gave a speech declaring that G.I.'s would make poor husbands, ex-GI Harold W. Wynkoop said.
Wynkoop is president of the United Veterans of World War II. He said he would defend every man in the service against charges made in an oratorical contest by Helen Braden, 20-year-old blonde Iowa Wesleyan college senior.
Miss Braden won her way into the final round of the interstate oratorical contest at Northwestern university with a speech in which she said no G.I. ever could darken her doorway because he would be "crude and ruthless" and waiting for the government to offer "a bonus or a deal."
She said veterans couldn't be domesticated because they were unwilling to work, boastful over war exploits, hateful and lacking manners and refinement.
"She'll never get a man, if she keeps talking that way," Wynkoop said.
He said GF's had changed while they were out winning the war—but he was sure it was a change for the best.
"It might be a good idea if girls of Miss Braden's ikl followed suit," he said. "She apparently wants the kind of man she wanted when she was 17—a Joe College boy with nothing but frivolity on his mind."
The first public showing of a motion picture was at the Koster and Bell Music hall, New York, in 1896.

Grant KU War Dead 'Rest Eternal,' Is Theme Of Music Week Opener
By GRACE MUILENBURG
(Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
Approximately 2,500 persons attended the University presentation of Guissepe Verdi's "The Requiem," honoring K.U.'s 229 war dead, in Hoch auditorium, Sunday afternoon.
Soloists were Mrs. Marie Wilkins, soprano; Miss Irene Peabody, contralto, and Joseph Wilkins, tenor, all instructors in the School of Fine Arts; and Reinhold Schmidt, bass from Chicago. Gov. Andrew Sheepch, originally scheduled to speak, was unable to attend.
The "Requiem" was presented by a 250-voice choir composed of the men's and the women's glee clubs and the a cappella choir, accompanied by the University symphony orchestra, and directed by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
This memorial service was the beginning of the 23rd annual Music week sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
"It is our duty," he said, "to work progressively, in the months and years that follow, toward the organizing of a world government that will keep the world free from aggression."
Preceding the musical memorial service, Chancellor Deane W. Malott gave a memorial talk in which he stated, "our greatest tribute to the war dead will be in looking ahead, dedicating ourselves toward world peace.
During the dedication of the gold star flag, which followed, lights were dummed, and taps played. Standing guard of honor were Roger Arnold, Joseph Barrington, James Bowman, E. F. Burke, R. D. Tiper, and James Walker, from the naval R.O.T.C. and John Black, Clarence Francisco, R. A. Nicholas, James Henderson, Leon Sherwood, and W. C. Stringer, from the army R.O.T.C.
Irene Marshall, Mrs. Adelaide Marquand, and Mrs. Prisella Jones, former service women, assisted in the flag raising. Members of the University Veterans' club were ushers.
"The *Requiem*" was presented in its Latin text, in seven parts. An English translation appeared on the printed program. The theme throughout was "Rest eternal, grant unto them, Lord; and let light ever-lasting lighten upon them."
Members of the committee in charge of organizing the service and designing the souvenir programs were Miss Marjorie Whitney, Miss Helen Skilton, Miss Dessa Bush, Mike Andrews, J. Sheldon Carey, Miss Gladys Hendricks, and Miss Arvid Jacobson, instructors in the School of Fine Arts. Miss Edna Hill, home economics professor, was in charge of making the gold star flag
1940 Grad Named First Templin Fellow
Charles Roderick Burton, a former Summerfield scholar who was graduated from the University in 1940, has been appointed the first Templin Fellow in philosophy for the year 1946-1947, Prof. E. H. Hollands, philosophy department, has announced.
The Templin Fellowship was founded as a memorial to Olin Templin, a former dean at the College, for his work as a teacher.
Collection of the fellowship fund was begun a year before Dean Templin's death, largely due to the effort of Miss Anna McCracken, instructor in the K.U. correspondence study bureau. The fund now amounts to $6,600, and is handled by the Endowment association.
$308 Collected
In Campus Cancer Drive
A total of $303 in the University cancer drive has been collected from the University staff and employees, Ogden S. Jones, chairman, said today.
Students Accepted On Priority Basis for Geology Field Trip
Pre-registration for the geology field camp in Colorado this summer is this week. Dr. Lowell R. Laudon, of the department said today. Registrations will be accepted on a priority basis because of the large number of students wanting to go. Students with the largest number of credit hours in geology will be given highest priority, he said.
Registration will be accepted in 409 Lindley hall, as follows: graduate students, today; seniors, tomorrow; juniors, Wednesday; sophomores, Thursday; and freshmen, Friday. Incidental and laboratory fees are to be paid at the time of registration.
Located just north of Canyon City and southeast of the famous Cripple Creek, Garden Park, Colo., the camp is excellently situated for the study of almost all phases of field geology, Professor Laudon. Permanent buildings are located in Garden Park and campers are fed ranch-style at a nearby ranch.
Three courses will be available this summer for either five or six hours credit. Geology 49 is open to freshmen and sophomores, and courses 155 and 156 are open for juniors, seniors, and graduate students.
Students who have attended the camp in previous years have made trips to Helna Canyon, Red Monument park, the Royal gorge, Sheep mountain, the great sand dunes, Monarch pass and the Salida area, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs, Wind Cave, Florisant Lake beds, Leadville, Climax, and Gilman.
Dr. John Frye will be camp director this summer and Arthur L Bowsher, recently returned veteran from the China-Burma theater, will act as assistant director.
Newsweek Editor Visits University
Chester Shaw, executive editor of Newsweek and a graduate of the University in 1924, spoke to a group in the Journalism building Friday, answering questions about his magazine's organization, policy and collection of news.
"Newsweek tries to maintain an objective policy and an impartial attitude." Mr. Shaw emphasized.
He discussed the "battle baby" issues which were published during the war and distributed to troops, remarking that they were "an outstanding success, published at no profit."
The magazine published in Japan seems to be the biggest success," he commented, "because the Japanese are eager to buy the book."
Mr. Shaw served as a laboratory supervisor in the newsroom of the Daily Kansan for one year and on newspapers in Lawrence and Kansas City before joining the staff of Newsweek.
Cases of German war equipment captured during World War I are on display in the Union Lounge.
Newsweek is now publishing in 14 divisions overseas for the troops and the people of the countries.
The souvenirs have been presented to the University by alumni, students, faculty members and friends. The display is sponsored by the K.U. War Memento committee, and begins a permanent collection of mementoes of World War II. The permanent place has not been chosen. Contributions will be received at the Alumni office, Frank Strong hall.

San Francisco. (UP)—A sullen, tense peace reigned today over Alcatraz Federal prison where three convicts in solitary, confinement awaited possible murder indictments for their part in a bloody mutiny which cost five lives.
Mutineers Face Murder Charge
Warden James A. Johnston said an investigation thus far has disclosed six ringleaders in the three-day riot, three of whom were dead. He said they waged their bitter fight with only a rifle, a .45 caliber Colt automatic pistol, a knife and a few gas grenades.
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents moved cautiously through the twisted steel, uprooted fixtures, and bullet-scared concrete walls of the prison in search of evidence which the U.S. government plans to lay before the grand jury.
The final death toll when the battle ended Saturday showed three convicts and two guards dead. Fourteen guards were wounded, two critically. They were in the U.S. Marine hospital here.
The three convicts named by Johnston as actively participating in the riot were Sam Shockley, 36 Oklahoma bank robber and kidnapper; Myron Edgar Thompson, 29 kidnapper and slayer from Amarillo, Tex.; and Clarence Carnes, 19, Oklahoma kidnaper and murderer.
Johnston said the three convicts killed in the mutiny were Bernard Paul Coy, 46, Louisville, Ky., bank robber; Joseph Paul Cretzer, 35, Los Angeles, Calif., killer; and Marvin Franklin, Hubbard, 36, Tennessee kidnaper.
"There is a good chance that the evidence will be sufficient to indict the surviving participants for murder," Daniel C. Deasy, assistant U.S. attorney sad.
"It would be done on the basis that all the participants were part of a conspiracy to commit a felony—that is, to escape."
If it is proved that one or more of the participants "actually killed someone," he said, "the other participants would be part of that conspiracy and could be charged with murder."

"The more clubs, the more people there will be to believe in the ideas, pressure can be put on," he explained.

"In a few years the young people of today will be running the government, and these clubs are going to help them get a start in learning how to take over when their time comes," he said.

Government Proposal May End Coal Strike
Washington. (UP)—The government today handed the striking United Mine Workers and soft coal operators a proposal which, if accepted, would-bring an early end to the 37-day-old mine strike.
Terms of the proposition were not disclosed.
The operators negotiating committee immediately began considering it. The UMW planned to debate it at a session of the union's 250-man policy committee this afternoon.
The government's other mediator in the strike, Edward F. McGrudy, told reporters that the strike he had hoped hopes that the strike "would be settled shortly."
The Solid Fuels administration meanwhile prohibited delivery of soft coal to any householder who has more than a five-day supply.
It has limited deliveries to those public utilities, railroads, hospitals, food plants and similar users which have less than a 10-day supply. Deliveries to ships were restricted to ships and tugboats engaged in moving grain or coal.
Spain Denies Charge Of Helping Nazis
Madrid. (UP) - Spain denied today that she interfered with the repatriation of dangerous Nazis or the seizure of German property within Germany.
A 1200-word statement was issued by the Spanish government in an effort to refute charges made during debates at the United Nations security council that Spain failed to cooperate with the Allies.
Washington. (UP) President Truman will be 62 years old tomorrow and the best present anybody could give him would be a settlement of the coal strike.
Last year he received the German surrender.
London. (UP)—The house of commons today scheduled a debate tonight on the proposed withdrawal of British troops from Egypt. The debate was demanded by opposition leader Winston Churchill.
Washington, (UP)—Silk stockings will start coming back to some stores next week, ladies, but they're going to be "terribly expensive"—$3 to $5 a pair, according to the president of the National Hosiery association.
Ministers Reach First Big Agreement
Paris, (UP)—The Big Four foreign ministers today achieved their first major agreement, deciding to return Transylvania to Romania, thus abrogating the Nazi award of the territory to Hungary.
The ministers remained deadlocked on the question of navigation of the Danube river on which the United States and Britain favor internationalization while Russia proposes control by the Danube powers.
Benhem, Ky, (UP)—One man was killed and six men were injured in a flareup of violence today at the non-U.M.W. coal mine of the International Harvester Coal Co., here after pickets surrounded the mine, sheriff J. S. Cawood, of Harlan county, reported.
New York. (UF) — Renewed Iranian charges of Soviet "interferences" in Azerbaijan threatened another United Nations controversy over Iran today even though available evidence indicated Red army troops already have left that country.
Second Jay-Jane Tea Tomorrow
The second Jay-Jane rush tea will be held tomorrow from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Union, Betty Jo O'Neal, president announced.
The organized houses invited include Alpha Omicron Pi, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, Watkins hall, and Miller hall.
Independents-at-large and Delta Delta Delta will be entertained at a tea from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday in the Kansas room.
Library Needs Sunday Help
"The library will be open on Sundays only as soon as students express a willingness to work." C. M. Baker, director of Watson library, said today.
Trained personnel is necessary for efficient handling of the books, and the turnover of personnel prevents the accumulation of a skilled staff, he explained. Many of the 77 students now employed to take care of the 12 full-time jobs in the main library and jobs in the departmental libraries work only six hours a week.
Plans for next year cannot be made until more is known about the employment situation, Mr. Baker said.
Mr. Baker foreseees no enlargement of present library facilities luring the next year, and has announced no different schedule of tours to take care of next year's longer class day beginning at 8 a.m.
Mr. Baker explained the inadmissibility of opening just a part of the library for study on Sundays, since the only way to open a few rooms would be to erect wooden barricades, he said.
Aero Department Buys Wasp Engine
New equipment in the aeronautical engineering department includes a cut-away engine and an automatic pilot, Prof. William Simpson has announced.
An R-2800-C Double Wasp cutaway engine has been purchased through the Reconstruction Finance corporation. The engine is used to power such planes as the "Hell Cat," "Thunderbolt," and the "Black Widow."
An automatic pilot donated to the department by the Sperry Gyroscope company of Brooklyn, NY. arrived Tuesday. The gyropilot will not be put into operation for several months until additional equipment necessary for its operation can be purchased and a mechanic is available to assemble it.
The cut-away shows every working part of the engine and will be open to student display as soon as a stand, electric motor, and a drive mechanism are obtained.
The dance platform and picnic ovens under construction west of Potter lake will be finished before Commencement, Prof. Ogden S. Jones, chairman of the Union subcommittee in charge, announced this Monday.
Picnic Grounds Ready By Commencement
Work on the benches, tables, ovens and back wall of the platform, which is partially completed, will be started in a week, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Prof. George M. Baal, architecture department, has submitted designs for this equipment.

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of victory in Europe.
Because of the many complex problems that face the world, many people are becoming discouraged and pessimistic. They ask where the peace and security are which was to come with the end of the war. Faced with the difficulties of the world, some are again longing for a return to "normalcy." They want to turn their backs on the perplexing world issues before us.
Tomorrow is the first anniversary of victory in Europe. One year has passed since the "cease fire" order was sounded and yet real peace is still to be achieved.
On this day, one year after the end of war in Europe, it is appropriate that we take stock-of our position and the aims which we are seeking.
We must keep uppermost in our minds the immensity of the problem of achieving a lasting peace. The war had a dynamic effect on the entire world and the unity and cooperation needed to insure security must be on a world scale.
The American colonies, all located in one land, experienced many difficulties in gaining a peaceful unity. We must recognize how very much greater the problems of world unity are and not expect to achieve success overnight, but achieve that success we must.
It is therefore evident that we need to strengthen our patience, tolerance, and understanding for the long job ahead. That understanding must include respect for the viewpoints of others, even though those opinions seem to clash with ours. We must not assume that we are always right and that our opinions are indisputable.
But it is also important that we do not take the position of allowing the world to seek its solutions by the normal evolution of history. Our patience must be tempered by an everpresent diligent effort toward our goals. We must work actively for the aims of true peace and not become discouraged if our progress seems slow.
It is vitally important that we realize that the task ahead requires the active interest and effort of all. It is not just a job for our government and diplomats. It is a time that calls for greatness in the minds and hearts of all men regardless of their relative position in society.
It is appropriate that we pay homage today to the 155,000 young Americans who lie beneath white crosses in Europe. But it is also appropriate that we recall again the words of Abraham Lincoln: "It is for us the living, rather to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
If those who will never leave European soil could speak today, they would remind us that their deaths purchased only OPPORTUNITY for peace—it is our duty to LIVE for that peace.
What happened to the "queen promoters" last week? We've had a queen for practically every occasion but no one thought about a May Day queen.
Tell Your Representative
This places upon the voters the important duty of keeping their representatives informed of their opinions on important issues.
With this duty in mind, the All-Student Council drafted telegrams to Senators Capper and Reed at its meeting last week, recommending the continuance of price control without limiting its essential powers.
Many students will find a university education more difficult than ever next fall unless our economy is stabilized and the cost of living held in line.
Yet, in spite of the importance of public issues to college students, we are often prone to give them too little conscientious thought. Busy college life tends to restrict us to a routine which includes too little consideration of our responsibilities beyond the campus borders.
University students either are of voting age or soon will be. During college life is the time for us to develop a clear conception of the responsibilities of American voters.
Citizenship duties go beyond merely keeping informed on public affairs and legislation. They include discussion and fair appraisal of those issues and the communication of personal opinions to those charged with the job of law-making.
Now is the time for us to do what we can to frame the sort of society we want to work and live in after graduation. The number of college students is greater today than ever before, and still growing. Those students can exert a marked influence on congress by demonstrating a serious interest in its activities.
No intelligent legislator will discount the opinions of young citizens who take a conscientious and active interest in our government. It is our obligation to make our feelings known.

Eight Hungry Students Enrolled in 'Birds' Have Found Everything, But a Jayhawk
In 1752, the English parliament adopted the Gregorian calendar, dropping 11 days from the earlier Julian calender.
The meetings of the All-Student Council are open to all students and are announced in the Daily Kansan.
Letter to the Editor.
Freshman Says All Students Should Share In Decisions
(Editor's Note: On June 7, 1945 the Daily Kansan carried on its front page a six-inch story, under a large double-column headline, which asked students to contribute suggestions for the proposed memorial project, thus giving ample opportunity for those in school to make their wishes known. The selection of the present project was made from those suggestions by a committee that included University students.
To Fellow Students and the Daily Kansas: It is true that a new project of any kind cannot be acceptable to everyone. It should, however, be favorable to almost everyone.
Has it occurred to any of you that the new war memorial, surely a major project concerning each and every student on the Hill, has been slipped in under our very noses? Now, when the decision has already been reached, we are being solicited for money for a cause which many of us do not believe is right and which more of us would like to consider more carefully.
I demand that more of our own school and student questions be decided, not at a meeting of some select group, but rather in an open recognized and revitalized student council. Major issues, such as the war memorial proposal, should be decided before a student assembly by the students themselves.
Are we, as students, so unimportant that 'we have no voice in major issues on the Hill? Or is our school run on some of the very principles which our democracy has been fighting?
BRUCE T. BATHURST College Freshman
Those eight hungry students who wander around the campus before breakfast aren't crazy. They're studying birds, for two hours credit
At 7:30 am. on Tuesday and Thursday, Dr. E. R. Hall and Dr. Donald Farner, zoology professors, take the members of their Birds class out-of-doors to study early morning bird calls, and to learn to identify the birds by sight. On rainy days, the class has a lecture or studies the skins of birds in Dyche museum.
The class has taken field trips to Lake View to study shore birds — ducks, grebes, and sand pipers. Usually, however, they stay on the campus, where birds are plentiful in the trees of Marvin grove.
The class is conducted informally on field trips, with the two professors answering all the questions the students can ask.
Werner, Nelson Attend Chicago Meet
Early in the semester, one student suddenly stopped and asked the class to listen carefully to the new bluejay call he had discovered. Investigation proved the sound to be a chain clanking against the flagpole near the stadium.
It's a good class," the students say,
"but we've been hunting since February
and we still haven't seen a Jayhawk."
K. U. now has 20 students from other countries. This is a small percentage of the 12,000 who are enrolled in schools all over the nation. The problem concerning admittance of additional students arises from already overcrowded enrollment and language difficulties which would necessitate special English courses, Dean Werner said.
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, and J. H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate school, attended a three-day conference under the Institute of International Education, in Chicago last week.
The quota of foreign students admitted to the United States during the coming months was discussed, with special consideration given to those 25 per cent who attend universities and colleges under special scholarships.

The name is "Assault." A betting official at the Kentucky Derby Saturday was taking no chances with Ette Bennett. She stood in line for over an hour only to have him close the window in her face when she finally got there. She'd intended to place her money on "Battery" or some such animal.
More sporting news. By far the outstanding event of the men's intramural swimming meet Wednesday took place in the shower room after it was all over, according to Bill Sinis. It seems a coed became confused and walked out the wrong door.
Do you chew? That was the question at the DG party this past weekend. Mary Ellen Small was passing out "Sparkplug" at the expense of Bob Combs, Sigma Nu.
Eeeekek. Alpha Delt loving cups were finally restored to their proper place Saturday after an absence of several weeks.
In the midst of the spring formal a taxi driver delivered two boxes to the door, saying they were the gifts of "Hannegan and his Handymen." The first box contained the loving cups, all brightly polished. and the second one was full of little white mice, which all but broke up the party.
May the best man win. While out "soap-boxing" for her candidate recently, Elaine Thalman, Independent party leader, asked Ray Collins his political preference. "I'm voting for Boyd Raeburn," he replied.
A crowning climax. John Conard, who should know better, wants to know why we can't have just one more queen to reign over final week. She would have to lead the styles with wispy hair, jeans, sneakers; and a sloppy shirt.
Washington. (UP)—President Truman today signed the 1947 fiscal year War Department Civil Functions bill, carrying appropriations of $333,000,000 for more than 200 flood control and rivers and harbors projects.

Today's column is devoted to a brief report on an interesting new disease, histoplasmosis, that is receiving much attention in public health work.
--following recovery from a lung infected with Histoplasma, capsulatum, calcium was deposited during the process of healing. This produced, on the X-ray films, the "spots" referred to by the layman.
Histoplasmosis is an infection, of various organs of the body and the lungs particularly, by a parasite Histoplasma capyulatum. The disease has been recognized only rarely; reports of fewer than 100 cases are now in medical literature but evidently many mild cases are undiagnosed or mistaken for other fevers.
Attention was turned to histoplasmosis when someone found that
Tests for histoplasmosis will be made Tuesday at the Lawrence Community building, by the Douglas county health department, aided by the United States public health service and the Kansas board of health.
Appointments for the tests may be made this week, Dr. J. M. Mott, director of the county health department, said today. The tests are similar to tuberculin tests, and are free to K.U. students.
This interest in histoplasmosis was really a byproduct of the examination of the lungs for tuberculosis. For many years, doctors believed that calcium spots in the lung, as shown by X-ray, were almost certain evidence of healed tuberculosis of the primary or childhood type.
Then when the tuberculin test came into wide use along with extensive X-ray programs, critics of the tuberculin test claimed that it was not very accurate because they found in many persons with negative tuberculin tests. X-ray evidence of calcified spots in the lungs.
It was not uncommon to find X-ray films showing multiple calcified spots on the lungs, and if calcium represented only-healed tuberculosis, here were cases that had survived the widespread or military type of tuberculosis, and this disease
had generally been considered fatal. With the discovery that histoplasmosis and a few other infections might produce calcium spots in the lungs, the finding of calcified areas in the lungs assumed an entirely different significance. The tuberculin test resumed its rank as a highly accurate test.
had generally been considered fatal.
Preliminary surveys made of nurses, who were convenient guinea pigs, in several large cities showed that half the nurses in Kansas City, Kansas, 60 per cent in Kansas City, Missouri, 13 per cent in Detroit and only 5 per cent in Minneapolis gave positive reactions to histoplasmin.
Now surveys are in progress to map out areas where reactions to the test indicate evidence of past healed or present mild infections and the relation to finding of calcium spots in the lung X-rays.
The test is done exactly like the tuberculin test, by injecting into the skin of the forearm a minute dose of the histoplasmin. There are no bad effects. The test is read in 48 hours. A positive reaction produces a small area of redness and a hive-like swelling of the skin where the test was given.
Emphasis is placed on the fact that histoplasmosis does not, apparently, commonly produce illness, judging from the number of positive reactors who have no knowledge of the disease. It is interesting chiefly from its relation to finding calcium spots in the lungs.
This is about all that is known about histoplasmosis. Don't think you have it, even if you want to be different. In spite of the relatively high rate of infection, illness from the disease is extremely rare.

TERRY HERRIOTT
Ringmaster for the war memorial show, "Yucca Yucca," to be presented Friday night in Hoch auditorium, is Terry Herriott, a veteran of stage and radio experience and editor of the Bitter Bird.
Herrriot started his career with professional radio, moved out to the University of Wisconsin for a little schooling, and shortly after joined the army and later received a commission as a bombardier. He flew on combat missions until one day over Austria a bullet through his spine finished Terry's flying days.
Sent back to the States, he was put on public relations duty, speaking at bond rallies and before defense workers. After this came a period in the Hollywood studios of NBC.
So. Friday night when Herriott is emcee for the Memorial drive show, the sea of faces out front will be no novelty to him. He may even find time to hawk a few copies of the Bitter Bird.

Let's All Live in a Merry-Go-Round ---This Post-War House Is a Dream
Washington. (UP)—Do not pinch me. Or make loud noises. I'm dreaming about my dymaxion house of the future and I don't want to wake up.
The Beech Aircraft Corp. is tooling up in its Wichita factory to turn out 50,000 two bed-room, two-bath houses of aluminum and plastic next year. They've got air-conditioning, dish-washing machines, built - in vacuum cleaning systems, electric garbage choperoos, and other things to make you blink, including a price tag of $6,500, delivered, erected, and guaranteed.
I'm drooling. Or brickmasons, take warning; there'll be no $14-a-day jobs involved in building the circular house, first projected in 1927 by R. Buckminster Fuller, redesigned by him and redesigned again over the years, and now making folks like my bride and me moggle-eyed.
Fuller houses, Inc., and the airplane company opened their first showing of a scale model in the congressional room of the old-fashioned Willard hotel. One of my fellow reporters was so impressed he ordered a house for delivery next spring.
No termites, no ashes, no paint.
That got him. He put his name on
the dotted chair. I fidgeted on a gold-
legged chair while inventor Fuller
told about the house that's shaped like a merry-go-round, built like an airplane, and serviced like an automobile. The idea is, if the drain gets plugged or the lights won't work, the mechanic rushes over and fixes it free. All you do, according to Fuller, is sit there, feeling smug.
He is a citizen, round in shape and dynamically balanced, like his houses. His white hair and mustache are clipped closely, because he does not believe in extraneous decorations. He figures if a thing is efficient, like his house, it doesn't need any fringe to make it pretty.
He made his house round because a circular wall encloses more space than a square one of the same length. Furthermore he said it's stronger and what he needed was strength; his house weighs only four tons complete. He said this compares with 150 tons for houses built brick by brick.
The whole business rests on a hollow steel mast anchored in the ground. Inside the mast is the machinery which makes things tick, such as the ventilators, the vacuumes, the heaters, the dehumidifiers and—hold tight—the hidden drawers that slide up from somewhere with your winter clothes when you touch a button.
I must report that a house glistening like a B-29 and built in the

shape of an over-sized mushroom looks peculiar. Fuller says you'll get used to the looks; he says you'll really appreciate it when time comes to clean up the exterior. You don't do it with paint brushes. You use water from the garden hose.
The windows are plastic. Let them down and plastic fly screen automatically slides into place. The baths are deluxe, the front door looks like it came off an airplane and the inside doors—hold tight again—don't open. They fold, like an accordion. So much for the house.
"And maybe you'd like to know why we're in Washington," said Herrman Wolf, president of the concern. "We're not here to ask the government for anything. We just came in to let the housing authorities know what we've got."

NOT ON YOUR TINTYPE!
Grandma looks calm and collected as she poses for posterity, but she wasn't—not on your tintype! Getting her family ready for this picture was a long, weary business.
The day this photo was snapped, Grandma was up at dawn, wrestling with the old wood stove, coaxing the kettle to boil, cooking breakfast. And the day before, she ironed the mountain of clothes that had needed such hard scrubbing. The day before that—
But that was Grandma's life. She didn't know any other kind. Her way of housekeeping took lots of time, lots of elbow grease. In Grandma's gayest dreams she never imagined the time would come when a woman would have dozens of electric servants daily for the cost of a bar of soap.
Electric service—ready and willing around the clock and calendar—is a modern miracle Grandma missed by being born too soon. But electrical dependability (and cheapness, too) didn't happen by accident. Not on your tintype! They're the result of plenty of hard work and practical experience on the part of your neighbors who operate this company.

Versatile Elaine Thalman Majors In Music, Politics, Jayhawker
Elaine Thalman, College junior, is a music major whose hobby, by her own admission, is also music.
Just "on the side," during her first three years on the Hill, she has found time to work in the Independent organization, as an editorial associate of the Jayhowker magazine, and as a member of the personnel board of the Y.W.C.A.; and has maintained a better than B grade average.
Recently she has been doing research for the student government division of the student-faculty conference, sponsored by Mortar Board and Sachem.
Elaine was one of a small group of women who last spring made the first steps toward forming the Independents organization. She had been active in campus politics earlier, and carried her experience over into the formation of a new political party. At present she heads the women's activities division of the Independents.
Elaine sings in the A Cappella choir and serves as its treasurer, and plays the piano in her spare time. She admits her secret ambition is to fly, but doesn't plan to start learning just yet.
A native Missourian, but a confirmed Jayhawker, Elaine is from Kansas City; was attracted to KU by the music department. Her music major "in the College, not Fine Arts," is in preparation for a career in musical therapy. She is minoring in psychology.
In Lawrence, Elaine lists home as 1701 Ohio street. As a "veteran" Jayhawker, who has seen the change from a war to a peace-time campus, Elaine believes "K.U. is getting along pretty well, but I do think we should encourage students to take a greater interest in activities."
Ball Asks Compulsory Military Training
Syracuse, N.Y. (UP) — The U. S. must adopt, compulsory peacetime military training or face the alternative of "another period of disgrace" appeasement of aggressors such as marked the 1930s." Sen. Joseph H. Ball, R., Minn. declared in an address.
Ball spoke yesterday at Syracuse university where he received an honorary doctor of laws degree.
Compulsory military training will "see to it that America remains strong enough so that her voice in international affairs will be respected," the Minnesota Republican said.
Ball also advocated passage of the $3,750,000,000 loan to Great Britain. He termed the proposed loan "essentially a device to share with ourally, on a credit and not a gift basis, the raw materials and other resources needed for England's reconstruction."

'No Mills Shutdown,' K-State Prof Says
Manhattan (UP)-George Montgomery, Kansas State college agricultural economist, said today he expected no wholesale shutdown of Kansas mills, despite a desperate shortage of wheat throughout the state.
He said that waile the millers only prospect for domestic wheat supplies seemed to be what they had on hand and what they could buy in terminal markets, he believed mills would be allowed to grind accumulated government wheat for export.
Montgomery said that the over-all mill and elevator wheat supply is estimated now at 93,000,000 bushels. He compared the present supply with an estimated 209,000,000 bushels held by mills and elevators at the same time last year. At this time in 1944, Montgomery said there were 201,000,000 bushels of wheat in mills and elevators and in 1943 there were 362,000,000 bushels.
He estimated that supplies in public warehouses at present totaled about 34,000,000 compared with 99,-000,000 in 1945, 124,000,000 in 1944, and 212,000,000 in 1943.
Montgomery said the flour supply for approximately the next two months, until the 1946 crop was harvested, depended primarily on the amount of wheat on hand. He said his impression was that few mills had closed as yet and he believed relatively few would close.
He said Millers, after May 1, would have only a 21-day wheat supply on hand on the basis of grindings a year ago.
There may be temporary stoppages, he said, and some closings, "but I don't believe there'll be any wholesale shutdown."

Spectographs To Record Atom Tests Over Bikini
Oklahoma City. (UP)—The big atomic cloud which will blossom over Bikini atoll in July will have its picture taken by two air-borne spectographs installed in four-motored C-54 transport planes at Tinker air field here, it has been announced.
Dr. F. M. Frye, spectroscopist of Boston university on special duty with the "operations crossroads" army unit, said the, planes were the only flying laboratories of their kind ever developed. They will enable scientists to study the spectrum of the explosions of the atomic bombs, thus computing accurately the amount of heat energy generated in the blasts.
The light and heat measuring devices, he said, should provide data for further development of atomic power.
The laboratory planes will be tested at Rosweil, N.M., within a few days before being flown to a base near Bikini.

By BILL SIMS
The Big Ten conference officials are scheduled to meet soon, and one of the points for discussion will be the problem of filling the vacancy created when Chicago withdrew from conference athletics.
Nebraska and Pittsburgh have shown interest in becoming the 10th school according to reports from some of the other schools. It also would create a vacancy in the Big Six if Nebraska were extended and accepted an invitation to join the Big Ten.
Big ten. It seems to me that Nebraska would come closer to qualifying for the Big Ten than Pittsburgh. The Cornhuskers probably will build up another great football power with Bernie Masterson as the head master of the gridiron sport, Pittsburgh may do the same. But Nebraska seems to have a more equally balanced athletic program than Pitt. The Nebraska school always comes up with a good track team, and their basketball teams are no pushovers in pre-war days. Lincoln is more centrally located in regard to the other Big Ten schools than Pittsburgh, and this sometimes is an important factor when it comes to filling a vacancy.
** **
It will be interesting to watch devellopments and see what the conference officials do when the vacancy discussion comes up at the annual meeting soon.
If Nebraska does join the Big Ten, the Big Six will be faced with the job of filling a vacancy in its own conference. It may arise at the Big Six meeting May 17 and at 18 in Lincoln.
I predict that if this happens, Oklahoma A. and M. will be the new member of the Big Six. The Aggies have been in a conference in which only one school ever offered much more than passive resistance in athletics. Many persons thought that the Aggies would resign from the Missouri Valley conference soon.
There is no doubt that the Aggies would be able to hold their own in the Big Six. If they continue to produce teams of the caliber of the past several years, Oklahoma A. and M. would be a dominating factor in Big Six athletics. They would also add a lot of prestige to the league in the future.
Perhaps some of the schools would be afraid to have the Aggies in the same conference because of the terrific teams which have been produced there recently, but I believe the Aggies would do a lot for the Big Six. Even if Nebraska does not resign, the Oklahoma school may be tendered an invitation to join this league.
***
Another important matter probably will be brought up at the meeting in Lincoln, and that is the question of an athletic ear for the conference. For years some of the schools have tried to get this matter passed, but for some unknown reason it has not been done.
I.M. Swimming Finals Will Begin At 7 Tonight
Starting time for the finals of the Intramural swimming meet tonight has been changed from 7:30 to 7 p.m. because of a conflict with the concert in Hoch auditorium, according to James Richey, student intramural manager.

Medley Relay, 55; Beta, Navy, Phi Gam, SAE.
G. W. Bridges, engineering, and V. F. Smith, professor of architecture, appeared before the city council meeting last night to give their opinions of the relative merits of poured concrete foundations for buildings and concrete block foundations.
I believe that a czar could do a lot to build up prestige for the Big Six among other conferences and schools, and he could do a lot for the member schools in, clarifying rules and other matters.
For example, there was a question concerning the Kansas-Kansas Aggie football game in 1944 which would have been taken to the czar had there been one. His decision would not have changed the standings of the teams to any great extent, but it would have made a difference to the two schools.
There was a lot of discussion about Gerald Tucker's transfer to Oklahoma from Kansas State several years ago. This also would probably have been taken before the czar or commissioner.
If the conference officials, faculty members and athletic directors, will take a positive step forward and establish this office, it will be an indication that they are trying to improve conditions in Big Six athletics and not merely standing still. It's up to them to take the next step.
The Jayhawkers will entertain the Kansas State golf and tennis teams tomorrow. The Kansas linksmen will try to avenge an earlier defeat at the hands of the Aggies when they clash on the Swope Park course in Kansas City, Mo.
The Crimson and Blue needs a victory over the Wildcats to stay in first place in the tennis standings. The Jayhawkers have a good chance to annex the conference tennis title this year, but they can not falter once and take an undisputed title.
The tennis teams meet at 2 p.m. on the concrete courts west of the stadium.
Recommendations for Woman's Athletic association cabinet offices for 1946 and 1947 have been made. Marjorie Free, president, announced today.

The loss to Coach Red Dugan's Jayhawks assured Oklahoma the championship of the Bix Six conference baseball战. Kansas has a conference record of three wins and two defeats, while the Sooners closed its league season with five victories against one defeat.
against one defeat.
Saffel issued walks to the first two Nebraska hitters to lead off the eighth inning. Jim Sandstedt beat out an infield hit to load the sacks with no one away.
hewgood dropped a squeeze bunt in front of the plate. Saffel kicked the ball around in his anxiety to make a fielding play at home plate and Storck crossed the platter from third base with what proved to be the winning marker. Two more free tickets to first base by Saffel accounted for Nebraska's second run of the inning.
Jim Sandstedt, who relieved Ole Olson in the sixth, received credit for the victory.
Kansas had two big innings, the fourth and the sixth. Morrow's homer brought home Hayden, who had tripled, in the fourth to put the Jayhawkers back into the contest.

Fascism Gains Support In Italy as Nation Prepares For Election
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE
XIX
ited Press Staff Correspondent) while its fate is being debated at treaty meeting in Paris, Italy in a political ferment which presses a radical internal change within weeks.
The first national election since Fascist era is scheduled for June. At the same time, the voters are decide by referendum whether they want a republic or a monarchy. The parties and factions engaged the struggle are varied, and there such a division of strength that aspects for a stable single-party government, or even a strong coalition, seem questionable. A weak government would provide an ideal opportunity for the Communists or even the sinister neo-Fascists to take a bid for control of the entry.
The Italians are looking to the pris conference of foreign ministers or some relief from their economic bees. If their stagnated industry and trade are burdened by heavy operations and other restrictions, effect might be unfortunate.
This political fight is being con-
fected in a land where the masses
are starvation close at hand, unem-
ployment is frightening, and a large
amount of the population is in a
angerous mood, receptive to almost
by promised cure.
The London Daily Mail carried a report yesterday from its special correspondent in Rome, Alexander Iford, in which the writer observed:
"Far too many people are already linking back to Fascism as 'the old days' and if this peace treaty 'siness is dodged or shelved or engled again, Italy may start being dangerous country once more."
Among the parties and groups inled in the campaign are the cristian Democrats, headed by Preier Alcide de Gasperi; the Sollists; the Communists; the Monbists; L'Uono Qualnque (comm man" party); the Democratic men (a rightist group headed by statesmen); and the Neo-
ground.
the first three parties: Christian
charis, Socialists and commun-
iune in the coalition govern-
eered by De Gaspari.
the Christian Democrats form the largest single party, but the Socialists' under-Vice-Premier Pietro Mili, have agreed on joint action the Communists, giving that combination an edge. De Gasperi has me out strongly against the Communists. All three parties will vote a republic against the monarchy, the Monarchists have no large city backing but a strong popularlowing. They are making an engenetic bid for Catholic support, and the church itself is believed to favor monarchy as a proven force for ability and order.

Prince of Naples, who would rule under a regency if chosen. He at least has the advantage of being free of the taint of Fascist association which mark his father and grandfather.
The Common Man party of Guglielmo Giannini is an unknown quantity but apparently has a wide following. Its appeal is to the middle class. It opposes Communism and wealthy industrialists and might support the monarchists, Giannini stoutly denies being Neo-Fascist.
The Neo-Fascists may be more dangerous than had been thought. The organization certainly exists in considerable numbers, and apparently is well-supplied with funds salvaged from the dying days of the Mussolini regime. Some comes from plundering bands of Neo-Fascists at large in the mountains. Some of it is reputed to come from Spain.
Its leader is Carlo Scorza, last of Mussolini's ministers, a hunted man who has successfully defied capture. The snatching of Mussolini's body from its grave and the recent outbreak at the San Vittorio jail in Milan have been taken as evidence of the increasing boldness and strength of this group.
Chinese Student To Return in June
Mou Hui King, Chinese student from Peking, who was one of the outstanding graduates of the School of Engineering in 1944 will be on the campus early in June visiting friends before his return to his home land.
He is scheduled to sail from San Francisco June 13, according to a letter he sent to the alumni office recently.
King went to a Milwaukee company for a time after graduation and recently has been on duty with the Chinese embassy in Washington. He says he expects to devote his life to the rehabilitation of China.
He came to the University through an acquaintanceship with the late Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who met his father, a graduate of Harvard and now a surgeon in a hospital in Peking.

K.U., Lawrence To Cooperate In Food Drive
The Emergency Famine committees of the University and of Douglas county will meet at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Chamber of Commerce building, Eugenia Hepworth, acting chairman, announced today.
The University committee, appointed by Chancellor Malott and the All-Student Council president, will work with the community feminine committee in the conservation, collection, and contribution of food to save the starving peoples of Europe and Asia.
Members of the University committee will have a luncheon meeting at 12:30 p.m. Friday in the East room of the Union to plan their program and elect a permanent chairman, Miss Hebworth said.
Students serving on the committee are Eugenia Hepworth, All-Student Council; Alvin Ritts, navy; Dorothy Hoover, W.Y.C.A.; Margaret Eberhardt, Pan-Hellenic council; Edgar A. Thomas, Student Religious Council; Richard Pfister, Y.M.C.A.; Dean Ostrum, Inter-Fraternity and Jaybawker; Patricia Penney, Daily Kansan; George Caldwell, Student Forums board; Leon Bradlow, Student Housing Cooperatives; Lois Thompson, Independents; Dorothy Park, Young Democrits' club; and Russell Barrett, A.V.C.
Faculty members of the committee are Edwin Browne, public relations director; Miss Esther Twente, associate sociology professor; Leslie Walters, associate economics professor; Mrs. Christine Alford, Y.W.C.A. secretary; Hermina Zipple, Union director; Jeanne Ackley, Danforth fellow; and Ned Linegar, Y.M.C.A. secretary.
K.U. Will Cooperate In Food Conservation, Y.W. Secretary Says
"The Hill is ready to cooperate in conservation of food to prevent mass starvation in Europe, and some organized houses already are assisting," Mrs. Christine Alford, Y.W.C.A.secretary, told a joint meeting of University and civic leaders Friday.
Miss Kathryn Tissue, assistant professor of home economics, and Ned Linegar, Y.M.C.A. secretary, also represented the University, in a conference with Red Cross, agricultural conservation, and Chamber of Commerce officials.
Roy V. Cartee, general field representative of the Red Cross for north-eastern Kansas; Mrs. W. T. Douce, executive secretary of the Douglas county chapter; George H. Butell, chairman of the county agricultural conservation association; and George Hedrick, secretary of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, attended.
Four Former K.U. Journalism Heads Will Meet Again at Banquet
I. B. E.

Left to right, they are Charles Harger, of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle, who first organized the journalism
Crafton, Hageman Conclude Y.W.C.A. Leadership Series
"We have utterly failed in the pursuit of happiness," Mrs. Jessica Crafton told Y.W.C.A. members last week. Mrs. Crafton was the fourth of five speakers in the Y.W.C.A.'s leadership training course.
Miss Hageman explained that the leader of a group of committee must be a step ahead of the group, and that the leaders, especially those in Y.W.C.A., are responsible for the social development of each person in the group.
"Creative work is recreative, and the intellectual person is only happy doing that which taxes his mind and emotions. Happiness is the warm satisfaction of having done something for people around you," Mrs Crafton said.
Summing up the ways of becoming part of a community, Mrs. Crafton advised the women to find out how the community is being governed, to belong to groups such as the P.T.A., and to choose their own outside work.
Miss Greta Hageman, business and industrial girls' program director from Topeka, gave the closing speech in the series Friday afternoon.

"Daddy" Flint, dean of American journalism educators, who was department chairman 25 years and still teaches a full course, and Merle Thorpe, first department chairman here, and recently editor of Nation's Business magazine.
Examples of an ideal meeting, in which everyone participated, and an undesirable meeting, in which few contributions were made by members, were enacted under Miss Hageman's direction.
Inter-Dorm Election Postponed
Certificates of award were given to all women who had attended at least four of the five meetings.
The election of officers for Inter-Dorm council has been postponed until May 20, the last regular meeting for this year, June Peterson president, announced today.

Lure of Lucre Finally Claims Our John Ise
John Ise, K.U.'s own "curmudgeon" has finally broken down to the "lure of lucre."
Professor Ise, of the department of economics, has written a text for introductory economics entitled tersely "Economics," after as he says in his press, "resisting the lure of lucre and the blandishments of publishers for 30 years."
The volume runs 731 pages with each page divided into two columns, and frequent subheads and illustrations.
Professor Ise dedicated the book to his wife, who, according to his dedication, "cheered me by saying she thought it interesting."
Professor Ise says that in the book he has "attempted to point out some of the many weaknesses of our capitalistic system and to suggest corrections which I feel must be made if our capitalistic order is to avoid the world trend toward socialism or collectivism."
Dean Frank T. Stockton, School of Business says that "few books have been awaited with as much interest as Professor Ise's text" and he believes that the extensive interest in the book will cause it to be widely adopted.
Although this is his first text, Professor Ise is not a newcomer to the writing field having written for publication many times since he graduated from the University in 1908. Since then he has picked up four degrees, has been teaching since 1916 and has been a professor since 1920. Professor Ise specializes in economic theory, and land problems.
Forum Discusses Economic Problems
"Western civilization is something that will embrace the world. The study of it will give the student an understanding of the East as well as the West," W. E. Sandelius, political science professor, said in opening the Western civilization forum last night in Green Hall.
"Ideas of the Christian civilization are reason and concern for the other man. Democracy means the rights of man—all men. The problem is how to integrate the idea of a nation with the other fact which disturbs thoughts of unity and class conflict." Professor Sandelius added.
Student speakers, all of whom are college freshmen, and their topics for the forum were Virginia Joseph introduction and a brief sketch of the economic history of the world; Dorothy Scroggy Naturalism; Wilbur Noble, the Rise of the Bourgeois; Keith Wilson, Capitalism; Shirley Keith, the Radical Revolt. Professor Sandellus acted as moderator.
U.H.S. Wins Award For Human Interest In Newspaper Contest
University High school received honorable mention in the editorial and human interest story divisions of the 26th annual University contest for high school newspapers.
"Faculty members of the journalism department judged the contest, basing the ratings upon the merit of the competing entries." Prof. Elmer Beth, department chairman, explained.
"The contest shows," he said, "that a high standard is being maintained by Kansas high school journalists, their teachers, and advisers."
The following schools received first place awards in the contest divisions:
Fort Scott High school, news story; Summer High school, Kansas City, editorial; Holton High school, feature story; Newton High school, human interest story; Topea High school, interview; Parsons High school, sports; Pittsburgh High school, service to school; and Argentine High school, Kansas City, business management.
Copies of the announcement of first, second, third, and honorable mention awards have been sent to the high schools in the state and to newspapers in every county in Kansas, Professor Beth said.
Germany Was Licked Just A Year Ago Today
This is an election year with a presidential polling coming up in 1948. All hands in office are playing politics which is one of the basic reasons for difficulties on the home front. Strikes which were in a sense invited by the administration have hit production a staggering blow. Mr. Trump and his labor aides have permitted a soft coal strike to bring the country to what the White House itself describes as the brink of national disaster.
Washington, (UP)—Germany was licked one year ago today and in the ensuing 12 months the world has spun into a condition of economic and political crisis.
Over all lies the fateful shadow of man's conquest of the atom. The future of nuclear energy as a weapon and as a surce of power remains obscure. But the questions raised already have created fears, dissension and suspicion among the Allies who were joined one year ago in licking Hitler.
A new and perhaps more courageous congress will assemble. Washington next January. With two years of office assured members of the house before another election, the legislators may deal more directly with some of the hard jobs awaiting them.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Bad as the situation is, or could become, there is a brighter side of the picture. Except for the famine conditions abroad, which must be met immediately if they are to be met at all, there is time for the United States and the world to work out of the shadows. When the coal strike is ended, it is likely that the worst of the labor trouble will be over for a while.
The United Nations organization in which reposes the world's hopes for peace is jeopardized by big four controversies which at this moment have the Paris conference of foreign ministers in deadlock. In cracker barrel idiom, things are in a mess.

Opposition Groups Fire at British Plan To Evacuate Egypt
London. (UP)—The British government's plan for an Anglo-Egyptian military alliance and gradual withdrawal of British forces from Egypt drew fire today from opposition groups in both countries.
Winston Churchill and the Conservative party called the plan a radical and reckless policy endanger-

Arabs To Ask Stalin For Palestine Support
Jerusalem. (UP) — The Arab higher committee decided today to appeal through the Soviet embassy at Cairo to Premier Stalin for Russian support of Arabic opposition to the Anglo-American recommendations for Palestine.
The letter to be sent to Stalin committed the Arabs to "oppose by all means" any attempts to carry out the Anglo-American report on Palestine.
Railroaders Speed Strike Preparations
Washington. (UP) — Rai iraa workers today speeded detailed preparations for a strike scheduled for May 18, and a union spokesman predicted that the walk-out would prevent coal deliveries even though the bituminous strike were ended by then.
He insisted there would be a "total stoppage" of rail traffic except for troop, hospital and milk trains.

Pachacamac-N.O.W. Want More Activity Groups on Council
The Pachacamac - N.O.W. party pledges itself to inaugurate independent and effective student government by:
ONE. Action to eliminate the qualifications for ASC president which restrict it to a small group of student politicians.
TWO. Action to increase the number of extra-curricular groups represented on the All-Student Council to include all veterans organizations and all other important campus groups.
THREE. Action to insure 100 per cent cooperation with the Veterans Administration regarding all veteran problems and with the University administration regarding student housing.
FOUR. Action to provide for a fair distribution of student tickets for all varsity sports.
FIVE. Action to provide financial support for the Engineering Exposition.
SIX. Action to make the All-Student Council the voice of the student body only, and of no outside pressure groups.
To accomplish these aims and to meet each problem of the coming year with strong and aggressive student action, the Pachacamac-N.O.W. party asks for the support of all University students for its candidates for student office.

Political Fever Soars As Campus Awaits Election
Campus political temperature rose several degrees this morning. the day before election, with both parties splashing campaign literature generously, apparently in violation of a bi-party agreement with the administration.
Presidents of both men's parties disclaimed responsibility for the activity.
Jack Nichols, P.S.G.L. leader, said "Misuse of campaign literature violated P.S.G.L. instructions. All of our party's stickers were removed by 9 a.m."
Bob Holland, Pachacama president, called actions of his party members "unauthorized," and said that "in all fairness to the P.S.G.L., all offending signs will be removed as soon as possible."
Guy Ashcraft, chairman of the All-Student Council's election committee, said that he had notified both party coalitions of the administration's request against improper use of campaign signs.
"Imp proper use" of campaign literature, according to Raymond Nichols, University executive secretary, consisted of placing stickers and posters on cars, windows, trees, and other places from which they are difficult to remove.

WENDELL NICKELL
P.S.G.L.-Independent Ask Student Opinion Poll Every Semester
The P.S.G.L. - Independent platform for tomorrow's election is as follows:
ONE. Cooperation with the University administration in the problem of student housing.
TWO. Continued support of the veterans to provide wider opportunities for their participation in campus activities. Such support has been evidenced in the past by the P.S.G.L.-Independent motion enabling a veterans' representative to sit on the All-Student Council.
THREE. A student opinion poll sponsored by the All-Student Council at least once every semester.
FOUR. Improved recreational facilities for the use of the entire student body.
FIVE. A pre-enrollment survey, similar to that for the summer session, for regular semesters, to determine classes needed for the ensuing term.
TEN. Increased publicity to acquaint students more fully with student government and other campus activities.
(a) Direct primaries for all political parties.
SIX. Negro participation in the Big Six and in other intercollegiate athletics.
SEVEN. A revised election system with the following features:
(b) Proportional representation in elections.
(c) Abolition of the present districts to permit the whole student body to elect the 16 council representatives of these said districts.
NINE. Student representation on the University Senate.
EIGHT. Direct action toward the establishment of an international house in K.U.
ELEVEN. A system to develop student leadership more widely and make it more effective by preventing the concentration of important student offices in too few hands.
TWELVE. Financial aid of the All-Student Council for the Engineers Exposition.

Tomorrow Is Your Day
Tomorrow is election day at K.U. Candidates have been chosen and platforms announced. The next move is up to the student body.
During the past year there has been plenty of private and public criticism of the present governing body, some of it just, and much of it unjust.
Criticism is not a bad thing if properly administered. It helps to keep our student government on its toes and helps to mirror student opinion. But that criticism should be founded on an understanding of the facts and a real interest in student affairs.
Many students who never bother to attend a student council meeting and consistently ignore the polling booths on election day, are the first to raise their voices in criticism of the handling of student affairs.
One year ago only 50 per cent of the students thought enough of their student government to go to the polls on election day.
Council members devote many hours to various student issues in an effort to serve the student body properly. Their task is made more difficult when students take only an apathetic interest in campus affairs. The election of a student council does not relieve the student body of its responsibility in University affairs. We must demonstrate an active interest in such issues as may arise from time to time. Congress leans heavily on public opinion and likewise our student government has the right to expect any active interest from the student body.
There are still those who think of their voting right only as a privilege which they can utilize or ignore at their discretion. But it is more than that. It is a duty we must fulfill in order to merit democratic government. A student who ignores his duty tomorrow has little ground to criticize student government later.
A record number of students are on the Hill today and there will be even more next fall. That increased enrollment will inevitably bring new problems to the campus. It will be up to the student council, and all students in general, to be ready to meet those problems and find their solutions. Failure to meet present and future responsibilities will mean only one thing: a loss of power and prestige of student government at the University.
Let's go to the polls tomorrow and cast at least an 80 per cent vote. Show the All-Student Council that you are solidly behind it and expect it, not only to fulfill its obligations, but to strengthen itself for the added problems ahead.
Students moving along the walk by Fraser hall recently paid little attention to a tragic event that occurred there. Spattered on the side-walk, under the feet of passers-by, was a bird's egg that apparently had fallen from a nest. It was so badly crushed that even an ornithologist would have had trouble recognizing the species of bird that had laid the egg.
Only A Bird
The reader may pause at this point to say or think "So what? There are too many birds in the world, and particularly too many on the campus. Just look at those sidewalks." Many on the campus have a grievance against birds, for one reason or another. Had this egg hatched, it might have produced a delinquent bird which would take delight in making some stone bench on the campus untenable and thereby frustrate would-be fraternizers.
It might have produced the criminal type of bird which would come down to tree-top level and damage somebody's spring hat. Just as well, perhaps, that the egg lies where it is, beyond power to do any damage to a world that has seen too much damage already.
On the other hand, from this battered egg may have emerged a herald of spring, a cheerful welcomer, a challenge to the chill last stand of winter to do its worst, spring is coming, and the birds are back, and soon it will be warm. It might have given Mrs. Jones the occasion to phone her local newspaper and tell the editor she saw the first robin, and thus Mrs. Jones would have her brief hour in the sun. It might have become the bird which sits in a tree outside of your window, and sings in the morning, "May as well get up, the sun is shining."
It is unfair for any of us to pass judgment. The simple facts are, an unborn bird is dead, and somewhere a mother and father bird miss it. That's silly, you say, birds don't mourn, they are just birds. Just birds?
Perhaps a mother bird and her offspring, circling over the Normandy battlefields, looked down on the battered villages and the human debris, and the mother bird remarked to her youngster, "Come along, and don't be too much concerned about that business down there. They are just men."—W.F.
Evidently the whistling lawyers don't agree with James Flagg, the artist, who said, "Every time I see a girl going barelegged it reminds me of a raw leg of beef from the butchers."—But then again, maybe they do. There is a meat shortage.
'Political Science Helps Students In Not One, But Every Vocation'
Jobby Lobby (VI) : Professor Stene Says
By EDWIN O. STENE (Associate Professor of Political Science)
On the whole, studies in the social sciences are not designed as training courses for particular vocations. Rather their purpose is to prepare the student by way of giving him a broad understanding of human relations and of our social, economic, and political institutions—an understanding which should be an aid in whatever vocation the graduate might enter, and which should help him to become more effective in adapting himself to the customs and the needs of his community.
However, there are a number of specific vocational goals for which students in political science may prepare themselves. A certain amount of work in the field is essential to the teaching of social sciences in high schools; and a substantial number of majors in political science continue with graduate work preparatory to college teaching or certain types of government service. An optional major in public administration, and an interdepartmental major in personnel administration, are designed especially for those students who wish to enter the public service.
Opportunities in the federal service will be somewhat limited for graduating students of 1946, because a retrenchment is under way in many wartime governmental agencies. In the other branches of the government preferences will be given to war veterans and to war service employees whose positions are a bo lish ed. Nevertheless, there will be a few openings for new employees, and especially for college graduates with good academic records and training in certain branches of the social sciences.
State and local employment services will probably increase during the next few months, primarily because work will be resumed in fields where wartime retrenchment was necessary. Up
to the present, the state and local services, other than teaching, have provided relatively little promise for college graduates in the social sciences. There is evidence, however, of an increasing demand for trained assistants in personnel administration, in government planning and research, and to some extent in informational writing. Graduates who have prepared for positions in personnel administration may also find several opportunities with private business.
Veterans, who are entitled to preference in civil service ratings and appointments, may find it especially desirable to prepare for and seek employment in the public service. Such preparation should ordinarily include at least a few courses in political science, and it might often take the form of a major in that department.
Watch Those Vitamins, Spray Kills Tree Worms That Way
That white solution on the campus trees isn't a milkman's mistake. It's a palatable lead arsenate solution that the Building and Grounds men have prepared for a small green pest called the "inch" worm.
The "inch" worm attacks the leaves of the trees. If it is not checked in the first year of it's cycle, the worm will strip the trees of their leaves.
The power spray being used has a pressure of 400 pounds, enough to reach the tallest tree on the campus. The tent is attached to the tendon of Buildings and Grounds.
Buildings and Grounds also is investigating chemicals to clean up the dandelions, bindweed, and chickweed on the campus lawns. The chemicals overfeed the plants causing them to burst open and die, Mr. Bayles explained.
"It's like taking too many vitam-ins," he declared.

Ott and Fretwell, that is. At the Chi O pledge meeting the other night, Phyllis Fretwell, new this semester, was required to name each active. Phyl did right well until she came to Margaret Ot. She had the right idea, but the wrong pronunciation, when she said, "Margaret Oat."
"You're wrong, Fratwell," several actives cried gleefully, as they ran for the tar and feathers, Phyllis patiently replied, "I beg your pardon, but my name's Fretwell."
Four - wheeled personality. We thought walk-out days were over, but that is not quite the case with Gamma Phi and Sig Alph pledges. They staged one Monday night and one Sig Alph freshman asked Bill (everything-happens-to-me) Daugherty if he could borrow his car. "Sure," said Bill who didn't know they didn't intend to bring it back very soon.
But then it came time for Bill to pick up his date—and no car. It turned out all right since his date had a car but the frantic phone calls were a trifle embarrassing.
Now you see me, now you don't. Bud Wharton and Jim Tilson are becoming quite adept at pulling a disappearing act.
Guests at the Phi Psi house Saturday night greeted Bud and Jim, evidently coming in from an early show about 9:30, dressed in sweaters and slacks. The boys went upstairs perhaps to study, or to sleep, no one gage it much thought. However, said guests were quite amazed to encounter Bud and Jim again come out of the Pi Phi house at 12:30, dressed in suits and with dates in tow. The boys choose not to explain

A Year Later : Denazification of Germany Speeds On
Few Hitlerites Left in Office, U.S. Leaders Say
Berlin. (UP)—At the end of the first year of peace in Europe American Military government officials in Germany claimed a record for denazifying Germans which prompted Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clay to declare "We are now entering the final phase."
No one could say yet exactly how many Nazis there were to deal with in the American zone but denazification teams looking over the questionnaires of more than 1,250,000 Germans had labeled more than 300,000, or almost 24 per cent, as being Nazis or Nazi sympathizers unfit to hold positions of prominence or responsibility in German economy.
Of that number 85,000 were placed under mandatory arrest to await trial as major offenders. Another 75,000, whose ranks might possibly swell to 100,000 have been sorted out in prisoner-of-war cages to be transferred to civil internment upon their release as p.o.w.'s.
Having accomplished this, Military Government officials believed they had virtually completed their avowed task of "removing Nazis and militarists from public offices and positions of responsibility in important private enterprises . . . to facilitate assumption of power by democratic elements." The Military Government phase of denazification during the first year of peace was a house-cleaning job.
the final or punitive phase of the work has been handed to the Germans, themselves, to accomplish under a watchful Military Government eye.
However the first year of peace has not been too rosy for a known Nazi or Nazi supporter. According to recent military Government
D
GEN. GEORGE C. MARSHALL
Master strategist, confidant of President Roosevelt, Gen. George C. Marshall was America's army chief of staff during the last war. A brilliant planner, he now has turned to diplomatic peace-making, and today, a year after V-E day, he is back in China, trying to smooth the way toward the end of civil strife there.
Gallup-type poll surveys an average Nazi today has fallen from his Hitler era favored position to a standard of living slightly below the current average for non-Nazis.
These surveys reported that two-thirds of all the German people in the American zone admitted they were making enough money out of current earning to buy at least their daily necessities of life. Of the one-third which claimed they could not balance the budget without dipping into hoarded savings Nazis were predominant.
During this first year American action against Nazis has been mainly negative in nature. A Nazi has suffered more than other Germans as a rule in that he lost his good paying job, his standing in the community, and probably his house and furnishings have been requisitioned. His bank account has been blocked and he has been relegated to work as an "ordinary laborer," a term loosely interpreted to include any kind of work where he is not given authority over others.
Those held in mandatory arrest have at least one advantage over their excluded brethren at large—their necessities of life are provided them. During a recent visit to a civilian internment camp in Berlin, the only complaints to be heard from the men were that they were bored and had too much time on their hands (they are not forced to work).
The women—some of them young and comely—said they were bored, too.
Internee quarters were spotlessly
elean even though quite barren
looking. Everyone was required to
take a hot shower twice weekly.
Their food was served in interneer-operated kitchens and was of slightly higher caloric content than the minimum Berlin ration which, the command explained, was because they had only recently come off of several weeks of starvation ration due to a "miscalculation" in figuring the calory value of the food provided by German Central food rationing board.
Of course, all Nazis have not yet begun to pay the price for their sins. American authorities feel quite certain that unknown thousands—possibly 20,000 or more—have managed to elude custody, or at least screening.
These are believed to have built up hoards of food and negotiable wealth enough to enable them to forego the necessity of obtaining a food ration card at which point investigators usually get their first line on a wanted person.
However, before the second anniversary of the Victory in Europe is celebrated all Nazis should be bearing a fuller burden, both in penalties and responsibility, for paying and working toward Germany's reconstruction.
By that time the war-guilt trials

at Nuernberg should be completed permitting the dispatch of many lounging interned Nazis.
And by then, the recently adopted German "Law for Liberation From National Socialism and Militarism" should have been in operation long
enough to strip several thousand Nazis of, as a recent Military Governor's report described it, their "ill-accumulated wealth and prepare (them) for eventual rehabilitation."

Indian Problems Vital Templin Tells Club
"Our reaction to India's hunger problem may have a lot to do with the way they feel toward us," Leslie G. Templin, sociology instructor, told about 25 members of the Sociology club Thursday.
Mr. Templin spoke on the "Sociological Outlook in India," emphasizing that India has never achieved national unity because of her increased population, complexity of race, religion and language.
"Within the next six months there is a possibility of three to five million deaths in India from famine. We should help feed the Indians if we expect them to have a favorable attitude toward us later," Mr. Templin stated.
The University A Cappella choir will give two concerts in Kansas City, May 19, Dean D. M. Swarthout, director, said today.
"India has two outstanding problems—the problem of population and hunger, and the problem of her new constitution which Indian political leaders, Gandhi and Jinnah, are working on with three British cabinet members." Mr. Templin continued. "These two problems are a vital concern to the whole world in the post-war period."
Choir Will Sing In Kansas City May 19
The first concert will be at 3:30 p.m. at Southeast High school. The second concert will be at 7:30 p.m. at Linwood Presbyterian church.
Two-thirds of the spring concert which was given here will be sung at the afternoon performance. John Ehrlich, cellist, and Mrs. Alberta Stuhl, piano instructor, will play a Beethoven sonata as an intermission number. The full original program, will be sung at the intermission number, will be sung at the end.
Approximately 107 students will participate in the concerts, Dean Swarthout said.
Chimes, Italian Songs in K.S.T.C. Opera
Pittsburg, (UP) — The Pittsburg teachers college staged a production of "Cavalleri Rusticana" here Thursday night after a city-wide search for chimes tuned to just the right key.
Finally, Director Walter McCray used the college library clock chimes.
When the opera went on, all was sung in English except for the leading solo by Elola Turner of New York. Miss Turner, McCray found, had come prepared to sing the opera in Italian.

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
The Jayhawk track team has a good chance to capture the Big Six title at Lincoln, if it does as well as it has in the past two dual meets. Kansas swamped both Oklahoma and Kansas State in its only outdoor dual carnivals this season.
Kansas has one of its best track and field teams in years. The field events are in good hands when the Jayhawkers come up, but the Kansas are a little weak in the dash and hurdle events.
The addition of Charlie Black has added much needed strength in four events. The rangy All-American basketballer gives the team its only capable point-getter in the pole vault, and he has come along fast in the broad jump. Charlie won the discus event at Aggiieville, and he pushed Leroy Robison in the shot put so that Robbie had to make his best heave of the season to take first. You can count on Black to annex a few points for Kansas in the Big Six meet.
★ ★ ★
Leroy Robison is one of the most dependable performers Coach Ray Kanehl has on the team. Robison hasn't been shut out of the point-winner group in the shot put in any meet this year, and that includes three of the toughest in the country, the Texas, Kansas, and Drake Relays.
If Robison and Black can collaborate to take firsts and seconds in the shot put and discus events at the Lincoln carnival, they will give the Jayhawkers some valuable points toward the title.
Karl Ebel can be counted on to place high in the javelin. The young spear-thrower hasn't yet hit his peak in competition, but he has placed in all of the major meets this season and may come through with his best performance at Lincoln.
Tom Scofield should take first place in the high jump, if his Texas and Kansas Relays performances are any indication. He leaped as high as six feet, six inches to take firsts in both meets.
Bob Stoland is another potential point-winner in the high jump and broad jump. Stoland is making a comeback at 29, and he hasn't reached his former marks yet. Bob may come through with a place in these events at the Big Six meet.
Mel Stevens is another capable broad jumper, and has placed high in several meets this year. Stevens may be in the thick of the fight for top honors when May 18 rolls around.
With these men, Coach Ray Kanehl hopes to build up a big point advantage in the field events. Kansas should be able to stay about even with the other schools in the track events, and these extra field points would enable Kansas to win its first Big Six track title in several years.

Assault Will Be Odds-On Favorite In History's Richest Preakness
Baltimore. (UP)—Assault, who gave 16 other horses a "hot-foot" in winning the Kentucky Derby, became a probable odds-on favorite today to repeat his performance against a reduced field of about 10 starters in Saturday's 56th renewal of the Preakness Stakes.
The Texas colt, an 8-length winner at Louisville, was expected to go against at least four of the same horses he met there, but the field probably will be augmented by several others which did not compete in the Derby. McLaughlin's Cone K
The Maryland Jockey club made it extremely appealing for eligible owners to go out after the Pimlico gold by announcing that the prize purse would exceed $140,000 for the richest turf plum in American history if as many as 10 horses go postward.
In addition to Assault, owned by the King ranch and trained by Max Hirsch, the other eligibles from the Derby were Mrs. Elizabeth (Arden) Graham's Lord Boswell and Knockdown, the Foxcatcher Farm's Hampden, A. C. Ernst's Alamond, Robert Livie's Marine Victory and R. S.
The rest of the field was expected to include Borar Stables' Billy Bumps, William (Golden Greek) Helis' Phidias, Cedar Farms' Lovemenow, Walter M. Jefford's Natchez, Wheatley Farms' Miskleader, Mrs. George D. Wideners' Outoftheblue, and E. P. Taylor's Windfields.
All of these horses are quartered at Pimlico and are working out, with two of them, Lovenow and Natchez, overnight nights in today's six-furlong $5,000-added Survivor Stakes. How well they do in that sprint may determine whether they will go against the classier company in the mile and three-sixteenths Preakness.

Kansas Crushes Cornhuskers 18-3
Kansas gained an even split in its two-game series with Nebraska by crushing the Cornhuskers 18 to 3 Tuesday at Lincoln.
Jayhawker sluggers walloped four Nebraska pitchers for 17 safeties, and combined these hits with six Cornhusker miscues to turn the game into a rout. The Crimson and Blue batsmen were held to seven hits in Monday's game, but they unleashed their vaulted attack in five big innings Tuesday.
Bud French, starting his third game at second base for the Jayhawkers led the attack with two home runs, and Curly Hayden contributed another round tripper to the Kansas cahse. The Jayhawkers pounded out four homers in the series.
Ray Ocamb hurled his first complete game of hte season for Kansas, and let the Cornhuskers down with seven hits in a neat mound job. Charlie Putz was on the receiving end for the Jayhawkers. line score:

Home Talent Shines in 'Yucca
One man's version of college life is the basis of "Yucca, Yucca," all-student revue to be presented in Hoch auditorium, Friday night. Proceeds will go to the K.U. World War II Memorial Fund.
The program will begin at 9 p.m. with a warmup for the radio portion of the show, which will be broadcast over KFKU from 9:30 to 10 p.m.
A musical show, featuring "The Serenaders" and specialties interspersed through the continuity, "Yucca, Yucca" is a satirical treatment of life at college, a local 'Bare-foot Boy with Cheek,' according to Terry Herriott, master of ceremonies.
This part of "Yucca, Yucca" will consist primarily of specialty numbers. A brief intermission will follow the broadcast and the show will swing into an extensive takeoff on the intricacies of higher learning.
Act one portrays the "Coke Date," with the proceedings taking place inside a juke box.
The second act is set in a history class. "Any resemblance between this and history classes at the University," Herriott said, "will be purely coincidental. This is on the assumption that none of the Hill's history professors have adopted rhythmic verse as will be found in this act."
The grand finale concludes two hours of satire, songs, dancing, and music of "The Serenaders."
Among the student performers are Norma Kennedy, William Richardson, Mary Jane Zollinger, Georgia Lee Westmoreland, Harriet Harlow, Pertrand Morris, Carl Clark, Bevety Frizell, Martha Lou Little, Martyn Maloney, Robert Glover, Frank Harlow, James Sellars, Dean Paterson, James Barr, Todd Seymour, Raderick Mac刘涵, Hunter Billings, Charles Banfield, Mary Lou Mathows, Dessie Hunter, Loraine Mai, Vilet Orloff, and Harry McClure.
A leading light among the script writers for "Yucca, Yucca," is Shilay Corlett, College sophomore from Kansas City, Mo. Miss Corlett's dramatic ambitions take her East this summer where she will work with the Syracuse Players.
Other script writers are Bunny Lawyer, College junior, Carl Clark, College sophomore, and Herriott, College sophomore.
Independents Issue 'Kan Do' Today
The second issue this year, the Kan-Do includes names of the Independent candidates and platform of the party, names of Independent students on the honor roll, and other Independent activities.

Construction Starts on Housing Under Stadium
Construction began this week on the housing units to be built under the east side of the stadium, Irvin Youngberg, of the University housing office, announced today. The project, which will house 64 single men, consists of three units:
Two of the units, to house 32 men each, will be divided into two sections, each consisting of dormitory, dressing room, study room, and a small club room. A large recreation room is to be constructed for each of the two main units.
The third unit will be built on the southeast corner of the stadium, the site of present club room. It is to be an apartment to house the superviser, probably a married couple, for the two units.
The present archways in this section of the stadium will be filled in, except for space needed for windows. Each unit will have a door outside the stadium so that passage between the units may be gained without going outside.
The interior of the units will be painted concrete blocks with a regular plastered ceiling. No information on furnishings is yet available.
"The units are so planned that the track inside the stadium may still be used. The construction of the units makes it possible for a second story to be added later if necessary," William Richardson, of the architectural office, said today.
An estimated 120 days after the materials arrive will be necessary for completion of the project. Materials are on order now.

'Ki-Yippe-Yi Is All You Need To Sing Opera,' He Says
Melton Liked Hoch, Audience, Jayhawker Womer
(Daily Kansan Staff Writers)
By MARIAN THOMSON and SHIRLEY GUENTHER
"All you need to know to be a successful opera star is two cowboy songs," James Melton, leading Metropolitan tenor, told Daily Kansan reporters last night — and proved it. Two of his 10 encores were western songs.
Mr. Melton, accompanied by Carroll Hollister, sang Tuesday night in Hoch auditorium, as part of the Music week program sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
"I liked your audience, and I liked your auditorium," Mr. Melton declared afterward.
The audience liked him, too, calling him back for encores among which were "Serenade" (Schubert).
WHY WE SAY
by STAN J COLLINS & L J SLAWSON
"RED TAPE"
LEGAL ADVICE
This expression did not originate in Washington, D. C., although they use a lot of it there, for it refers to the old English custom of binding legal and official documents with red ribbon or
"An Explanation" (Colenidge-Taylor); "Waterboy." "Bess, Where is My Bess" (Gershwin); "The Old Chisholm Trail," "Soloilouqy," from "Carousel" (Rogers and Hammerstein); and "I Will Bring You Music," his theme song.
Backstage, he autographed programs and photographs, visited with a friend of his family, and talked about everything from his collection of antique automobiles ("all in running condition"), to the beauty of the K.U. campus and K.U. women.
Asked what he thought about Billy Rose's recent statement that no beautiful women go to college, he declared, "He's nuts, and you can quote me on that. Anybody who'd make a remark like that is a jerk, and you can quote me again."
Next week, he said, he is going home for a four-month vacation with his wife and five-month-old daughter. Margo, having appeared in 55 radio broadcasts, 55 concerts, and 15 operas since Oct. 1.
Mr. Melton, who has appeared in several motion pictures, including "The Ziegfeld Follies," which was shown in Lawrence last week, likes "concert work better than anything."
"You can't control your destiny in pictures," he explained, "and I like to control my destiny."
A beginning law student at the University of Florida, Mr. Melton changed his major to languages in his freshman year and now speaks five, fluently. Attending Georgia university in 1922-23, he became a member of Delta Tau Delta, and completed his college education at Vanderbilt university in 1924.
He has toured the concert stage since 1930, and made his Metropolitan opera debut in 1942.

Byrnes, Bevin Confer On 'Next Step' Policy
Paris. (UP)—Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin today conferred on what strategy to follow if Russia rejects the American proposal for a full dress peace conference in Paris June 15.
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov has the peace conference proposal under consideration and is believed to be consulting Moscow on the question. It was regarded as virtually certain that he will reject Byrnes' plan.
Washington. (UP)—The Commerce department has given once-secret details of Axis war developments including radar, to Russia and France although neither country has offered to share information on similar equipment with the United States. it was learned today.
Size, Weight Limits Put on Parcel Post
Washington. (UP)—The government today imposed drastic weight and size limits on parcel post because of curtailed train service due to the coal shortage.
Washington. (UP)—UNRRA Di-
torior Fiorello H. La Guardia said
that if nations which have
food shared it fairly with "have not"
countries there would be enough
for everybody to stay alive.
Postmaster General Robert E. Hannegan said most classes of merchandise will not be accepted for mailing if the parcels weigh more than 11 pounds or if their combined length and girth exceeds 60 inches.
LaGuardia told the 48-hour UNRA council the food shortage would begin to pinch this month when the daily bread ration of millions of Europeans would have to be cut from 200 grams to 160 or less because the wheat wasn't available.
London. (UP)—The Rome radio said late today that King Victor Emmanuel had boarded a steamer for Port Said on the Suez canal.
Plans to abdicate the Italian throne Saturday hit a snag when Palmiro Togliatti, communist leader, violently opposed the action. Communists objections to the abdication at this time were based on belief that it was a political maneuver by monarchists to improve their chances in the Italian elections scheduled June 2.
Garden City Boy Dies In Playground Mishap
Garden City. (UP)—Larry Paul Strom, a sixth grade student, was the second playground fatality in Western Kansas within a month when he was struck in the forehead by a baseball bat during a school play recess period Tuesday.
Cairo. (UP)—High Arab officials said today that Russia had agreed that the Palestine case should be raised before the United Nations organization and had promised to support the Arabs in such a presentation.
Tokyo. (UP)—A source close to the foreign office said today there was a possibility that Emperor Hirohito may decide to abdicate in the near future in connection with the forthcoming war crimes trials.
Larry, whose home was in Bazine, died shortly after he was taken to the hospital.
Last month a Sterling high school honor student died from an abdominal injury occurring when his vaulting pole broke under him.
Library To Open Sundays Until End of Semester
Watson library will be open from 2 to 10 p.m. each Sunday until the end of the semester, C. M. Baker, director, announced today.
The reserve and education rooms will be closed during the supper hour under the new schedule, but the main reading room will remain open. The "supper hour" period has not been specified by Mr. Baker.
Dixie Gilliland, chairman of an All-Student Council committee investigating the possibility of Sunday library hours, told the Council Tuesday night that the Chancellor assured her the library would go on Sunday hours next fall.
Reserve books checked out Saturday afternoon will be due at 2:15 p.m. Sunday, Mr. Baker said, in order to provide books for Sunday students.
During the war, insufficient student help made it necessary to close some of the desks during meal time and threatened to keep them closed every night.
Some library employees will work a seven-day week under the new plan. At present, volunteers will be used.

Truman May Seize Railroads
BULLETIN
Washington. (UP) - President Truman said today he was contemplating government seizure of the railroads if necessary to keep them running.
At the same time the president said in regard to the coal strike: 1. It is slowly approaching the status of a strike against the government.
By Bibler
2. He is considering calling in John L. Lewis, head of the Mine Workers union, and the mine operators for a joint conference.
Meanwhile the government acted forcibly to conserve coal supplies.
In twin moves to stretch vanishing coal supplies, the civilian production administration last night drafted a directive authorizing the rationing of manufactured gas, and asked utility companies in 21 states to restore wartime dim-out regulations.
CPA Chief John D. Small warned that soft coal stocks on hand for emergency distribution were "less than the countrv would normally consume in one 12-hour period."
The association of American Railroads estimated that 2,000 passenger trains would be discontinued by tonight's midnight deadline. It predicted that freight carloadings would be down 75 per cent over the corresponding period last year.
The situation was complicated further by a threatened nationwide railway strike set for May 18, which would cut out coal deliveries altogether.

The Chancellor will be "dispossessed" tomorrow.
The board of regents will take over his office for an all-day meeting, and K.U.'s "chief" will have to find another place to hang his hat.

Among the expected issues to come before the board tomorrow is the question of retirement age for administrative officials and faculty of the University.
This was the first smoker held by the fraternity since it was disbanded in 1943 because of the war. Marion Wade, president, said ten active members of the fraternity are in this vicinity now. New pledges are being accepted, and plans are being made to open a house next fall if possible, he added.
There is a trend toward greater use of electricity in airplanes, Ralph Ayers, superintendent of the radio and electrical engineering staff of Trans-World Airline at Kansas City, told students Wednesday night at a smoker of Kappa Eta Kappa, professional electrical engineering fraternity, at the Union.

The department of buildings and grounds got some free assistance at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, when a group of Pachacamac - N.O.W. supporters met to clean up campaign literature from the campus, at the request of Dean Henry Werner.
"I called the presidents of both parties yesterday morning and requested them to have offending signs and stickers removed," Dean Werner explained. "At 4 p.m., P.S.G.L.-Independent signs had been removed, but Pachacamaca's remained, so I called Bob Holland again."
Holland, Pachacamac' president,
said today that because of classes
and intramural baseball games,
it was impossible for him to get a
group of any size together before
5:30
The crowd was estimated at 200 persons, who spent about 30 minutes removing posters from trees and lamp posts and scrubbing white-washed sidewalks.
Both political coalitions made improper use of posters and stickers, Wednesday, in violation of a biparty agreement, Dean Werner said.

U.N.'s Real Work Horse
Ever since the United-Nations came into operation in London in November, attention has been sharply focused on the activities of its Security Council. This was a natural result of the difficult world problems that have faced it from the beginning.
But during the past week the real agency for the furthering of lasting peace began its meetings in New York with little fanfare. That agency is the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization.
While the Security Council is charged with the settlement of international disputes, U.N.E.S.C.O. is pledged to the all-important job of preventing such disputes by the promotion of world understanding and respect.
The preamble to its constitution reads in part as follows: "The states, parties to this constitution, believing in full and equal opportunities for education for all, in the unrestricted pursuit of objective truth, and in the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, are agreed and determined to develop and to increase the means of communication between their peoples and to employ these means for the purposes of mutual understanding and a truer and more perfect knowledge of each other's lives."
The constitution clearly states that this organization has no authority to interfere with national educational matters that are purely domestic. However, it does pledge to "give fresh impulse to popular education and to the spread of culture; by instituting collaboration among the nations to advance the ideal of equality of educational opportunity without regard to race, sex, or any distinctions, economic of social; by suggesting educational methods best suited to prepare the children of the world for the responsibilities of freedom."
U. N.E.S.C.O. has cut out a big job for itself and yet it is a job that must be done if we are to have any assurance of lasting peace. Ignorance and lack of understanding have been great contributors to wars in the past. Even in America, with our comparatively high level of education, there is wide-spread misunderstanding and suspicion.
The work of this organization must of necessity be planned on a long-range basis and its activity will be inconspicuous in comparison to the more explosive issues in world affairs. But this in no way decreases its vital importance.
We will do well to keep an eye on U.N.E.S.C.O. The success or failure of its program will determine to a large degree whether the world will achieve a permanent peace based on universal understanding and respect between nations.
The University of Oklahoma's threat to withdraw from the Big-6 if Negroes are allowed to compete in conference athletics reminds us of the spoiled little boy who picked up his marbles and went home because the boys wouldn't use his rules.
The report of the mill fire in Atchison last week made no mention of the loss of life. No, there were no lives directly lost but we wonder how many hungry Europeans may die through the loss of $25,000 worth of already very scarce flour.
The Last Straw
The nation has been plagued by much labor strife during the past several months and conditions have often been described as "very serious." But somehow through it all Americans have tried to maintain a feeling of confidence that all would turn out all right.
Call it morale or call it a firm belief in the American way of life, it has helped pull us through some difficult times.
However, the present coal strike has so disrupted our economy that our morale is beginning to sag. And now, when we are in need of higher spirits, we are about to lose one of our morale boosters.
The creator of the famous Varga girl is about to go out on strike unless he gets higher wages!
That would be too much. Somehow, in spite of all the inconveniences of strikes we could always look to the lighter side of life to keep our spirits up—and who has done more to keep up morale than Mr. Varga? In case of doubt, ask any G.I. who went abroad through the courtesy of Uncle Sam.
If Varga quits work, what will G.I.'s and collegians paper their walls with?
Please don't quit, Mr. Varga.
What's happened to the Atlantic Charter? President Truman and the state department seem to have completely forgotten it. We refer to the proposal for a virtual military bloc of the Americas. As if international suspicion was not great enough, new fuel has been added to the fire. It is hard to see how they can reconcile this new proposal with the Atlantic Charter and the spirit of the United Nations.

The business placement bureau has scores of contacts with firms located in all parts of the country. Representatives from two or three of these firms visit K.U. almost every week to interview students and make job offers. Also the demand in the midwest, especially in Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, St. Joseph, and St. Louis, is increasing due to a general movement of certain types of industry from the east to the midwest.

Jobby Lobby (VII): Dean Stockton Says
Demand for Business Graduates Will Exceed the Available Supply
By F: T. STOCKTON (Dean, School of Business)
The work prospect for graduating seniors in business is very good this year. In fact, the demand for graduating seniors will exceed the supply available. There will be positions for all who want them and are qualified.
The reconversion to peace has increased the demand for all college graduates in the field of business. The increase is in evidence this year and will continue, we believe, for several years.
This spring there are approximately 45 graduating seniors from the School of Business, 10 economics majors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and 12 graduate students, who will be available for jobs. By June '47 there should be close to 200 graduating seniors. It is our belief that business will have a growing demand for well qualified K.U. graduates in accounting work, sales work, production work, merchandising, industrial management and personnel fields.
Specific fields in which the demand far exceeds the supply are the public and industrial accounting fields. One reason for this is in the increased complexity of accounting systems necessary to give full information in view of present government controls and the complex tax laws.
There is a very good demand for graduates in all sales fields. This demand will undoubtedly last for the next five to ten years. When production of consumer goods gets underway, normal competition should be resumed and increase the demand for graduates in the merchandising and marketing fields. With the increase in competition and the increasing demand for a better understanding between labor and industry, a new and very important work is open to graduates in industrial relations and personnel work.
In conclusion it is our belief that well trained students in business administration and all areas of business study have an excellent opportunity to get good jobs in 1946 and for many years to come.
Litchen Will Teach Citizenship at K-State
Miss Ruth Litchen, University High school social studies teacher, has been added to the staff of the workshop in citizenship education at Kansas State college June 24 to July 20, Dr. R. A. Walker, director of the Institute of Citizenship, announced today.
Miss Lichen is a former president of the Kansas Council for Social Studies. Other members of the workshop staff will be Robert E. Keohane, University of Chicago and senior author of the state approved civics text, Evan E. Evans, superintendent of schools at Winfield; and Charles E. Hawkes, superintendent at Salina.
The workshop is designed to help teachers of the social sciences in high school and colleges improve their teaching for better citizenship. Some high schools in the state are planning to send their civics and social science teachers to the workshop, Dr. Walker said.
Shenk Heads Recreation
Henry Shenk, professor of physical education, has been appointed one of the city recreational commissioners. This committee of five will be in charge of all supervised recreation in school district 60, which includes Lawrence.
Rock Chalk
By PAT FOSTER
Life is just like a guessing game. Some people simply don't believe in studying for quizzes. Alfred Seelye, assistant professor in marketing, gave a true and false test recently. There wasn't a sound in the room until a loud "clunk" came from the back of the room. Who flipped that coin anyway?
Steaks are hard to get, too. Four Sigma Nu's and their dates were all set for a big steak fry at Lone Star lake. Dick Parsell and Bob Dougherty could hardly wait to get there as they had been anticipating the steaks for days. They even thought they knew of a short cut. Ray Binnicker and George Polk waited in car with the food for over an hour. Dick and Bob were seen at the "Mite" about 10 o'clock eating their seventh hamburger.
Whoops, a close call. In a capella practice Monday, Dean Swanhorn asked a few students to move the piano for him as he sorted some music. They gave the huge grand a push and it went rolling across the floor. Luckily they were able to stop, it a few inches from the Dean just as it a stopped to pick up some music.
Hubba, Hubba. Why is it that there are so many K.U. women standing in front of one of the side shows at the carnival? Their dates couldn't be inside the show "Tempation and Peaches" or could they?
Do or die. Tommy Thompson, ardent student politician was "positively furious" Monday morning. She went around all over the campus tearing off Boyd Raeburn stickers. That other political party had its nerve pasting them everywhere. Wonder where Tommy has been keeping herself these days?
Paris. (UP) — Gen. Charles De Gaulle today refused an invitation by the French government to take part in the French victory celebrations May 12.

Band Members Are Awake For That First Class
So you think you're abused because classes are going to start at 8 a.m. next fall.
Before you feel too sorry for yourself, just remember that members of the University band will be setting their alarm clocks even earlier, to get to rehearsals at 7 a.m.
During the football season, they will be drilling on the football field in the early mornings, to be ready to perform for football fans, at home games or out-of-town contests. Last season they made two trips with the team.
In the spring, the band usually makes one or two concert trips, playing an average of three concerts a day. This means that two or three extra rehearsals have to be called, in addition to those every morning. The band's weekly 30-minute broadcasts over KFKU next year will involve still more rehearsals.
Members spend about 225 hours a year with the band, in rehearsals and concerts.
"It's worth it," they say, as they sit on their front row seats at basketball games, and get excused from classes for band trips.
One thing is certain—they're always awake for their first class.

Rhodes Scholarships, Held By Six Kansans, Will Be Available Again in October, 1947
"You know what my ideas are,
See that you carry them out. If you
don't, I'll come back and worry you."
With this tense comment Cecil Rhodes closed his last will. Written in simple, clear phrases, it has sufficed to send more than a thousand scholars to Oxford since the death of the British internationalist and statesman in 1902.
The awarding of Rhodes scholarships from the United States will be resumed in October, 1947, according to the chairman of the local committee on the Rhodes Scholarships, Dean J. H. Nelson. During the war the awards were suspended, but beginning next year 32 appointments will be made in the United States. In addition, a number of war-service appointments will be available to former members of the armed services.
The Scholarships pay an annual stipend of 400 pounds, ($1500 to $2000), for a period of two years, and they lead ordinarily to a degree at Oxford University in England.
To be eligible one must be an American citizen, male, unmarried (except for holders of war-service appointments), between 19 and 25 years of age, and college trained in the United States through the sophomore year.

state committee, which selects candidates to go to a district meeting at which the finalists are selected.
Any student desiring further information should see Dean Nelson or Professor W. E. Sandelius, who is chairman of the committee for Kansas.
The first scholarships were offered in 1904. Earl W. Murray fortunately gained one for the University. He later returned to teach Latin here. G. E. Putnam, a graduate of 1908 who also attended Yale, next went from Mt. Oread to Oxford. He returned to K.U. as an economics professor. C. A. Castle, University of Kansas Rhodes scholar in 1914, entered government consular service. L. P. Miller, 1916, became a journalist abroad. E. S. Mason, 1919, and Ralph M. Howey, 1925, both traveled from K.U. to Oxford to professorships at Harvard.
An investigation by the trustees of the Rhodes Scholarships Fund revealed that educational work later claims a majority of the Rhodes scholars.

"Victory Untying Her Sandal" is not an original, but a cast of the real marble statue, which dates from the last quarter of the fifth century B.C.
"Helen Aphrodite," "Victory of Naples," "The Faun," and busts of famous persons of that period, such as Pericles, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius are among the casts in the museum.

These were made by a commercial company from Boston, the largest valued at approximately $100 each, according to Miss Mary Grant, professor of Latin and Greek and curator of the museum.
Evidently Grecian bootleggers had a hard time subsisting. The Greeks simply stored their drinks in large jars. Two of these genuine antiquities are in the collection. One is encrusted with sea shells.
Another antique is the lid to a Roman burial urn, with a gable representing a house roof. This urn lid is similar to some on display in the Vatican galleries. One cinerary urn in the K.U. collection has an inscription, "To the Deified Shades."
The most valuable single piece of art in the collection is a small figurine of the god Eros which probably dates back to the third century B. C. Miss Grant explained.
Anna McCracken to Chicago To Attend Philosophy Meeting
Miss Anna D. McCracken, of the correspondence study bureau, is in Chicago attending a meeting of the western division of the American Philosophy association at the University of Chicago this weekend.
This will be the first meeting of the society since 1941. The association was founded by four philosophy professors from the Universities of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa.
Miss Grant also has a collection of old Roman coins dating as far back as 300 B.C., some nails, keys, nail stilus, arrow points, and locks.

In early days the "big boss" had a car-
pet in his private office—so when called

the carpet" and took a tongue lashing.
Coming Back? Tell It To Hitt
All students planning to attend the University either this summer or fall are asked to inform the registrar's office this month so that the University can make plans for enrollment.
James Hitt, registrar, said today that students may insure themselves a place in the University under the priority system by signing up in the registrar's office on the main floor of Frank Strong hall during the month May.
No avoid congestion, students are asked to sign up at the office according to the following schedule, the distrister stated. (Letters are for final letter of last name)

May 20-25 F,P,A,Y,U,V,C.K
May 27-June 1 J.M.X.I.L.T.R.
"This is not a pre-registration in the sense that it will eliminate registration in the fall," Mr. Hitt said,
"but checking in this way will help avoid congestion in the fall and give us a chance to check on students before they call in the office this fall."
Government Argues Congress Guarantees Work for Inductee
Washington. (UP)—The government argued before the supreme court today that congress intended the draft act to guarantee each inductee a year's reemployment, regardless of any union seniority rules.
Assistant Attorney General John F. Sonnett, counsel for Abraham Fishgold, a war veteran and Brooklyn welder, challenged the interest of a CIO union in the super-seniority case. Sonnett asked the court to declare void an appeals court ruling that denied Fishgold's absoluted right to reemployment.

'Difference Between Fact, Theory Must Be Made In College Chem'
The theoretical tail sometimes wags the pedagogical dog even in chemistry, but here, as elsewhere, it is an undesirable condition.
The use of chemical theory as a tool, not as a creed, is advocated by Harry H. Sisler and Calvin A. VanderWerf, professors of chemistry, in an article recently published in the Journal of Chemical Education.
Modern theory as a tool in teaching elementary college chemistry has been used by the authors, and has been successful as a basis for interpreting additional knowledge, rather than a loose bundle of unrelated facts which slip from the individual's memory one by one.
Adverse criticisms of undergraduate chemistry courses are not unusual, the authors point out, and the criticisms are not entirely unjustified. Memorization of a mass of more or less interesting and related facts has been required, but the broad, underlying principles in terms of which the student may evaluate and correlate the facts he has learned have been ignored.
"Our theories are and always will be imperfect," Professor Sisler and Professor VanderWerf admit, "but recent developments in the fields of physics, and physical and theoretical chemistry have led to the discovery of a few broad, basic concepts in terms of which we believe it is possible to organize thoroughgoing, integrated, and internally consistent courses in inorganic chemistry at the elementary college level."
Attempts to apply the modern theoretical principles in KU.'s chemistry courses lie in the use of a revised periodic table which lists the 92 elements in order of their atomic number, increasing atomic weight, and gradation in properties, and in the explanation of the formation of chemical bonds which hold the elements such as sodium and chlorine in combination in compounds such as common salt.
The concepts must be introduced as early in the course as feasible and,

if repeatedly and consistently applied and explained in connection with the descriptive material presented, will systematize and simplify the beginner's study, the authors advice. Differences in physical properties such as boiling points, melting points, and solubilities among the groups of organic chemistry including the commonly known alcohols, ethers, and acids may be explained this way.

Clear-cut distinctions between fact and theory must be maintained, the authors emphasize, but the student may soon be led to realize that should new theory replace the present one, it probably will have been fashioned by the present concept, and that the new can best be understood and utilized by those who were thoroughly familiar with the old.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Two of the best attractions of the spring sports program will be offered here tomorrow. The Missouri Tigers invade Lawrence to clash with the Jayhawkers on the cinders and on the tennis courts.
This will be the last opportunity for students and sports fans to watch the Crimson and Blue thinclads perform on the home track this season, and it will be the last meet for the Jayhawkers before going to Lincoln for the Big Six carnival.
The Kansans have come along fast since taking to the outdoors and it should be a real battle for top honors tomorrow. Missouri will present much stiffer competition than the Jayhawkers have faced in their other two dual meets, but the Kansans will be slight favorites because of their strength in the field events.
--world of collegiate athletics.
Tomorrow's tennis matches also should be the best played here this season. Kansas journeyed to Columbia last week rated as favorites over the Tigers, but the Jayhawkers were lucky to come home with a tie. It took some beautiful net smashes from the racquets of Roy Shoaf and Bob Groom to take their doubles match and gain a tie.
The Tigers will have their claws sharpened for tomorrow's encounter. If they can defeat the Jayhawkers, it would mar the Kansans undefeated record and make the title race closer.
The netmen are enjoying their best season in several years, and they should win the Big Six championship if they can get by Missouri successfully. It will be a real battle.
With two fine sports going on right under our very noses, the students should turn out and give these teams some support. Both events will take place on the stadium grounds, the track meet in the stadium proper and the tennis matches on the concrete courts west of the stadium.
Student interest in these spring sports has never been as high as it should be, even in the roles of spectators. Between 2,000 and 4,000 students turn out for every football or basketball game, but comparatively a handful turn out for track, tennis, or baseball games in the spring.
There should at least be several hundred students at these sport contests. There is every reason why we should give out support to these teams, if we are to build up the name of Kansas university in the
Golfers Beat K-State Here
The Jayhawkers handed the Kansas State Wildcats their first Big Six conference defeat on the golf links, $16\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$, Wednesday on the Swope Park course in Kansas City. The victory also avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Aggies at Manhattan.
Jack Hines, Jayhawker ace, captured medalist honors with a three-over par 75.

<K-Stater Says He'll Live to 150 (And in Manhattan, Too)
Manhattan. (UP) — Twenty-two-year-old Robert Bolivar DePugh, a student at Kansas State college here, vowed that he'd live to be 150 years old—and cited family statistics to back up his prediction.
DePugh said he was out to beat the longevity of Thomas Parr, who reached 152 years.
DePugh, who registered from Kansas City, Kan., said his own family tree included five great-grandparents who are or have lived to be more than 100 years old. As far as he knows, all still are living.
Let's all get behind these teams and other Jayhawker teams with out wholehearted support. It's up to us whether Kansas takes the hgh road or the low road on the athletic fields.
See you at the stadium tomorrow afternoon.

Fu Manchu's District Of London is Pretty Tame Stuff To Othman
FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Coresondent)
London, (UP)—Hush. Subterranean passages. Fumes of opium. Fingers fog clutching at your throat. Secret docks. The insidious Dr. Fu Manhu. His cellars of Pennyfield street. Limehouse. Shhhh.
tell you friends, I'm going to
save my solider sue every British
active yarn writer who's scared
be those many years with tales of
porror in Limehouse.
Having left my wallet in the office, Iult and gone two days without a save (so I'd look suitably tough) I went a night in Limehouse, where understood every third man was a murderer and every female was an operative of Fu Manchu.
I kept looking behind me (you'll understand if you've ever been attached to British detective tales) but nobody swatted me on the head with a lead pipe pipe pulled me into any inful den. The streets were deserted. These was no fog.
The only Chinese I saw were playing cards. They scarcely looked up when I poked my head in the door. There were ships at the docks and few sailors struggling up to Pennyfield street where more imaginary deeds of dastardly have been performed probably than anywhere else in the world.
Whole blocks of Limehouse were leveled by the blitz bomb, bilt there still stood a place called The Anchor that looked suitably mysterious from without. Dim lights, one small door, strange noises seeping out. I ventured in.
The Anchor was a saloon selling nothing but mild beer. There were some sailors inside quaffing same. Two of them were playing a darts game and arguing about it. That's the noise came from. The bar seepers, a portly lady with authority in her hiss, hushed them, but a beer and staggered into the treehouse night.
down the street was the far-
rer Charles Brown's hangout
on to all sailors over the world,
the piano was tinkling "I Can't Give
Anything But Love, Baby."
folks inside, mostly sailors and carmellled girls, were guzzling beak beer and singing about love. They sounded plain awful. The flags if the world fluttered in the eel-crust. Two waitresses in felt hats with caters hustled growlers of beer to the customers. This looked tough, al right, but I was getting braver. I swaggered to the bar trying to look like a character out of Sax Johmer, banged on the beer drippings tuckling across the mahogany, and ordered a gin. "Gimme a double
gin," I told the overworked barman.
"I am very sorry, sir," he said,
"but double gins are strictly against the law. I can sell only single gins, but you can have two of those."
A fine thing, Limehouse, and here a hard-boiled character named Othman couldn't even buy a double slug of gin.
I took two singles, poured them in the same glass, and joined in the choral work. A double gin at Charlie Brown's turned out to be half an inch of yellowish fluid in the bottom of a water glass, with little more wallop than a strawberry malted milk.
I got out of there with my regard for my tery writers at low ebb, but the worst still was. to come.
I hoofed down Ming street, where some fictional tales worse than death also have been perpetrated, and it pains me to report what I saw. The citizens of the district were lining up to spend a Limehouse night at the cinema watching Clark Gable smooth Greer Garson.
The shame of it. Tomorrow I sue.
Nimitz Foresees 'Push Button' Navy
Washington. (UP) - A push button navy of ships driven by atomic power and firing jet-propelled atomic missiles guided by radar was foreseen as a possibility by ranking U.S. admirals today.
Adm. Chester W, Nimitz, chief of naval operations, said the future navy "may include battleships powered by an atomic plant, protected by unbelievably stout new materials, and firing jet-propelled missiles instead of 16-inch shells."
"It may even include submarines of very high speed, making long voyages far beneath the sea to surface suddenly off some distant enemy shore to launch their missiles and then hiding themselves in the ocean depths against retaliation."
His statements were included in "battle stations," a report on the navy in World War II.
To Investigate Dispute

Harvard Doctor Claims Atomic Energy Cure
Dr. Saul Hertz, a research associate at both Harvard medical school and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, described his treatment with radioactive iodine therapy of hyperthyroid.
Boston $ ^{u} $ (UP)—A Harvard medical researcher has claimed the first successful cure of a disease by the application of atomic energy.
Victims of this disease, he said, may be cured by artificial radioactivity at a cost reduced from the present $200 and $300 to $2.50 if the army releases the necessary elements.
Dr. Hertz, who also is a navy commander, said his form of internal X-ray treatment was highly successful in curing hyperthyroid or exophthalmic goiter, commonly called the "non-evied" type.
Once the army makes available the radioactive iodine, this new method may eliminate the need for hospitalization or surgery, Dr. Hertz said. Formerly, exophthalmic goiter could be cured only by an operation.
Dr. Hertz explained that when internal beta irradiation is applied to goiter it kills the overactive cells and leaves only a normal goiter. Other organs of the body are not affected by such treatment, he said.
On Houdini's death in 1926, his library on magic was left to the National Library of Congress.

Beer Hearing Is Postponed By Amendment
Roy Borgen, owner of the Dinea a Mite cafe, today amended his petition to restrain the Douglas county authorities from enforcing the beerdance resolution, postponing the hearing in the petition originally set for this morning.
The amendment, filed with the clerk of the district court this morning, states that the ruling of the commissioners is aimed directly at the individual conduct of Mr. Borgen's customers. No date has been set for the new hearing.
The original ruling made by the commissioners has been amended to state that dancing is prohibited in places licensed to sell cereal malt beverages during the hours when the beverages are sold.
The amendment to Mr. Borgen's petition said that immediately after the adoption of the regulation by the county commissioners, posters printed with the ruling prohibiting dancing were posted by the sheriff in all places affected by the resolution. Public announcements also had warned persons against dancing in places licensed to sell cereal malt beverages.
At present, Mr. Borgen permits dancing between 8:30 p.m. and 12 midnight on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with a cover charge. Beer is not sold during this time.

Coach Ray Kanehl will send the same track men to the starting post against the Missouri Tigers at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow at the stadium as he did against Kansas State. The Jayhawkers overwhelmed the Aggies 86-45.
The contest will be the Jayhawker's last meet before next week's conference carnival in Lincoln and will offer a good chance to compare KU. strength with favored Nebraska. The Huskers defeated Missouri, 75-56, last week.
Kansas hopes to use its winning weight pattern for its third consecutive outdoor dual title. The Jayhawkers will pin their hopes on Charlie Black, Leroy Robison, Karl Ebel, Tom Scofield, and Bob Stoland in the field events.
Johnny Jackson and Hal Moore are Kanehl's top hopes to take track events, with Harold Hineche running a close third. The relay teams will have their hands full against the Tigers, but they hope to come through with victories in these events.

Pledging support to American scholarships for foreign students, the A.S.C. appointed a committee for the project, at its meeting Tuesday night.
Members of the committee, who will work with Dean Henry Werner and the finance committee, are Carolyn Nigg, chairman; Betty Ball, Franzena Jackson, and Wendell Nickell.
A committee to send letters to other universities concerning foreign students, and asking suggestions, includes Marguerita Kerschen, chairman; Carroll McCue, and Joan Anderson.
"Students of Europe need help and a small quota of approved foreign students should be given scholarships by American universities," Dean Werner told the council.
The council went on record as supporting the food conservation program.
The A.S.C. bulletin committee has completed plans for publishing a paper "explaining the projects carried out by the council this year." Dixie Gilland, chairman, reported.
Tryouts for next year's cheerleaders will be at 7:30 p.m. May 27, in the Union ballroom, it was decided.

Congress May Outlaw Union Coal Royalties
Washington. (UP)—A house juci- tary subcommittee today agreed to approve a bill aimed at outlawing the tonnage royalty demands of John L. Lewis.
The decision came as the senate also prepared to consider labor legislation in the heat of anger at the coal strike. When it completes work on the British loan, set for late today, the senate will take up anti-strike bills.
No Atom Research In Franco Spain
New York. (UP) -Great Britain has informed a United Nations subcommittee investigating Franco Spain that British military intelligence agents have been unable to find any traces of atomic weapon research there, it was learned today.
Bevin Says Molotov Blocks Conference
Paris. (UP) — Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin today accused foreign Minister V. M. Molotov of trying to block the holding of a peace conference.
Bevin said that Molotov's insistence upon Big Four agreement on all fundamentals of the peace treaties before submitting them to a 21-nation peace conference constituted, in effect, a veto over the treaties.
Italy Accepts Humbert II As King
Rome. (UP)—The Italian cabinet today accepted Humbert II as king of Italy, but only after lopping off the traditional designation "by the grace of God and will of the nation."
The cabinet sidestepped a government crisis by its compromise on the wording of the terminology to be accorded Humbert, what ascended the throne on the abdication of his father, Victor Emmanuel III.
Nelson Wins Carruth Contest
Betty Jean Nelson, College senior is the winner of the $50 first prize in the annual Carruth poetry contest it was announced today. Her entry was a sonnet sequence, "Three Seasons."
William J. Feeney, College senior, was awarded second prize of $25 for his ironic comment on war "Christmas Pageant." Third prize of $15 was won by George E. Osborne, graduate student, for a concert, "Tot Gabrielle."
Honorable mention and a book of poems of their own choosing went to Janice Oehrle, College freshman; Bernice Schear, College freshman; and Tomas Leflar, graduate student.
Wilda Horton, College junior, was elected president of the Home Economics club for next year at the last meeting of the semester Thursday night.
Judges were Prof. John Clardi, University of Kansas City English department; William Howie, former instructor at the University, now studying at Harvard; and Prof. John Hankins, department of English.

Engineers Meet Monday
A convocation for all engineers will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday in Hoch auditorium for the nomination of representatives to the Engineering Council, Dean J. O. Jones announced today.
Washington. (UP)—Pres. John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers (AFL) today ordered soft coal miners back to work for two weeks beginning Monday.
His only condition was that the mine operators agree to pay retroactively any wage increase that is eventually negotiated.
Lewis said in a telegram to all local union heads:
"This action is the contribution of the UMW to our nation's economy, which is being imperiled by the stupidity and selfish greed of the coal operators and associated financial interests and by demogues who have tried to lash the public mind into a state of hysteria rather than grant justice and fair treatment to the men who mine the nation's coal."
Lewis' surprise announcement came shortly after President Truman summoned the mine leader and a representative of the operators to meet with him in the White House later today. Both sides accepted the invitation.
Lewis gave copies of the telegram to reporters in the presence of the 200-man policy committee, which he said had approved the truce.
"The coal to be mined during this two-week period can be utilized for consumption by essential facilities and the nation's health and security thus safeguarded while efforts to negotiate a contract continue." Lewis said in his telegram.
House Group Extends Draft To July 1
Washington. (UP) — The house military affairs committee today approved legislation to extend the draft law until July 1.
Committee chairman Andrew J. May asked the house for unanimous consent to bring the measure up for immediate floor action, but was blocked by a single objection. The house then gave unanimous consent to consider the measure on Monday.
The senate yesterday hastily passed the legislation which extends the draft for 45 days from the present expiration date of May 15.
An appeal for final approval of the new K.U. book store went to the state board of regents, meeting on the campus here today, and authorities thought the store will "almost certainly" win approval.
Regents Weigh Bookstore Proposal
The University band will play a concert at the Topeka high school Monday, Russell L. Wiley, director, announced today.
Band to Give Concert At Topeka Monday
The regents met in the office of Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and heard him and heads of other state schools present requests. Later they lunched at the Memorial Union, and toured the campus.
The 110 piece band will make the trip in buses, leaving at 9 a.m. and returning sometime during the afternoon, he said.
This is the fifth trip the band has made this year. Recently the band made a concert tour of southeastern Kansas, playing concerts at Iola, Chanute, and Coffeyville.
Students interested in the U.N. convention who have not previously registered may do so this week at the Student Organization window of the Business office.

John L. v. The Nation
what seemingly started out as just another private quarrel between John L Lewis and the bituminous coal operators has now developed into a nation-wide problem that threatens millions of Americans.
Already Chicago is dimmed out as it never was during the war, and, if the strike is not settled by next week, the city will experience a blackout comparable to those endured in the war by European communities.
Hitting closer yet to the country as a whole is the decree that railroads must curtail passenger service 50 per cent by next Wednesday; even now freight business is being limited to necessities. Most steel plants have closed with the result that in other firms dependent upon steel products scores of thousands are being laid off. This widespread unemployment is crippling reconversion at a critical time.
Has the United States come to the place where one beetle-browed man can dominate the scene so completely as to directly affect the daily life of nearly every citizen in an adverse fashion? If so, then something is drastically wrong.
It might seem to some that this argument concerns only those in the coal business. But when such a lack of agreement threatened the livelihood of everyone in the nation, it is obvious that the issues involved are everybody's business.
Perhaps the only solution is to arouse "everybody" to such an extent that national leaders cannot ignore their dissatisfaction. But before the people can become articulate in their demands for action they must understand all the facts. The frantic frustration which is so evident throughout the nation today certainly indicates a doubtfulness as to what the dispute is about.
The most controversial point is the demand by Lewis for a 10 cents a ton royalty on all bituminous coal produced, and it is likewise the occasion for failure to enter into a new contract. And without the latter, the miners insist, they cannot work because it would be trespassing and a violation of the law.
The 10-cent royalty would go into a miner's health and welfare fund controlled completely by Lewis. This would place many millions of dollars in the hands of a man who has not, during the past 40 days of strike, cared a bushy-eyebrow about the nation's welfare.
Following this proposal, Lewis demands the recognition of the mine supervisors' union which would allow foremen to organize and then the adjustment of wages to an expected demand of 20 to 25 cents an hour more.
Up until now the Lewis-union men and the owner-operator group have been engaged in a hare and tortoise race, with Congress a late entrant. Several senators and representatives have become sufficiently disgusted with the affair to start definite action.
The first indication of this came last month when James Petrillo and his musician's federation were slapped with a law prohibiting the high-handed practices used against the radio and music industry. Now a bill is before Congress to outlaw special production payments to unions which would knock the props from under Lewis and his demands.
It's about time that someone started protecting the citizens. Powerful unions and big business have been fighting too long at the expense of the public. Now is the time for the citizens to express their desires effectively and bring a stop to this "batting practice" in the future.C.E.
More often than not when someone says "it isn't the money it's the principle of the thing." it's the money.
A Task Well Done
Dr. F. C. Allen, head of the cancer fund drive, has reported that Lawrence has gone over the top in its quota. In the Red Cross drive, the polio drive, and now in the cancer drive the people of Lawrence have shown an unselfish desire to do their part, and more, in a worthy cause.
Credit is due to those who conducted the drive. As Dr. Allen has pointed out, contributions were completely on a voluntary basis and the committee in no way tried to apply pressure to secure donations.
The people of Lawrence and the surrounding area have done it again
A special note of appreciation should go to Stan Schwain of the Commonwealth theaters for his whole-hearted co-operation in these fund campaigns. At the risk of offending some of his patrons, he gave the drives his complete support. In the cancer drive, $1,458.25 were contributed by theater patrons, the highest theater total of any of this year's campaigns. To this total the theater management added its contribution of $100.
But most of all, the people of this area themselves are to be commended. University students should come in for their share of that praise, too. Students are ardent theater patrons and, without a doubt, they contributed a sizeable amount to the theater contributions.
The people of Lawrence can well be proud of their record in voluntary fund raising campaigns. Their generosity will help to bring new hope and courage to the hearts of those less fortunate.
Continuation of Price Control Favored By Ise, Sandelius
Price control should be continued in a form that will allow it to carry out its duties efficiently, is the opinion of John Ise, professor of economics, and Walter Sandelius, professor of political science, as expressed to a Daily Kansan reporter.
"I favor it," Professor Ise said, and then added, "for a limited time. As long as Europe is starving we can go to back on rationing as well."
Professor Sandelius sided with O.P.A. on a condition that there be "more efficient and conscientious law enforcement."
"There are some incompetent people in office; back of that is the attitude of the people in countenance the black market," he said.
Hardest hit by lifting of price restrictions would be those with a fixed income unlikely to increase, or veterans and faculty members.
"Increased production as a result of releasing restrictions will not prevent inflation." Professor Sandelius commented.
Both of the professors agreed that lifting of the O.P.A. price restrictions would bring about inflation.
Professor Ise scoffed at the idea that prices would not rise. "The means for production are present," he said, "and producers would not be crying for a removal of price restrictions and holding back their products if they were not hoping for an increase in prices."
Here Professor Ise took a liberal view and pointed out two points for removal of price control.
Secondly, he pointed out that under O.P.A. we buy items graded higher than they should be. "Butter, for instance, once had 10 per cent of the total graded as the best; now, in order to get it in the higher price range, 90 per cent of it is classed as first class butter."
"This wasn't O.P.A.'s fault," Professor Ise declared. "Advertisers applied pressure to congress to prevent the O.P.A. from doing the
grading of the products as well as setting the price for the grade."
An Editorial
Now Let's Settle Down To Work
By LEMOYNE FREDERICK
(Daily Kansan Editor-in-chief)
Now it's over for another year. It was hardly a quiet election campaign, but K.U. has seen some that were much noisier.
That's behind us now. Our new student government representatives have been chosen, and the future is what counts.
It would be foolish to assume that the new council has smooth sailing ahead. There are plenty of problems that call for attention now, and the days ahead will only multiply those problems.
In the past we have too often been prone to take little interest in the student government once it was elected. It is certainly their job to do the major share in seeking solutions for campus problems. But they can achieve little success without the whole-hearted cooperation of the student body. Their responsibility is to serve us. Our responsibility is to support them.
It is relatively unimportant to which party you belong now that the election is over. The student body has made its choice and now it is up to all of us to give the council our full support.
By cooperation, effort, interest, and devotion to those things which will advance the welfare of all students and make K.U. a better university, the new council can fulfill its obligations. If it fails in any of these attributes the All-Student Council will become a student government in name only.

"But Doc, I'm all right." Paul Ducan went home one recent week- end feeling a bit under the weather. Not willing to confess to his mother that he was suffering from a hang- over, he told her that he had not been feeling w lately.
Despite his protests, Mrs. Ducan insisted on accompanying 'him to the hospital for a complete physical. Thus Paul (why don't I keep my big mouth shut) Ducan spent the better part of the weekend in the hospital.
But that's not all. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with him and recommended that he see a dentist. Again, despite his feeble protests, Mrs. Ducan took Paul to a dentist.
When Paul (I wish I hadn't told that lie) Ducan returned to school Monday he was minus two teeth.
They laughed when I walked by the Union. Getting up late and having to make an 8:30 class, a certain K.U., coed dressed in great haste, grabbed her books, and was rushing madly by the Union when she noticed curious stares and then unabashed amusement from fellow students. Looking down, she noticed an unmentionable article of clothing trailing from her notebook.
Do as I say and not as I do. A certain Independent, active in polities, was literally running-around dragging students to the polls to vote. Then one of her victims asked her, "Have you voted yet?" "Oh my gosh!" she gasped as she rushed home for her activity book.

"There really is honor among thieves," according to C. A. Bliesner, Lawrence chief of police, who spoke to members of the Reporting II class Wednesday on crime and its detection.
"We no longer use the 'third degree' to wrest a confession from a person. The only pressure we use is talking and having all the evidence we need to convict him," he said.
Mr. Bliesner explained the police blotter, fingerprint records, and criminal records of persons apprehended in Lawrence.

O.C.U. To Apply For Admission to Missouri Valley Loop
Oklahoma City, (UP)—Oklahoma City university will formally apply for membership in the Missouri Valley athletic conference when representatives attend the annual meeting of the circuit at Wichita tomorrow and Saturday, Athletic Director Mose Simms said today.
The OCU officials were invited to attend the meeting as observers by Dean C. H. McLeroy, Oklahoma A. & M. college, Stillwater, president of the conference.
Dr. C. Q. Smith, OCU president, Director Simms and football coach John (Bo) Roland will attend the meeting.
OCU, Simms said, plans to operate under Missouri Valley conference eligibility rules, since the school is meeting some conference members on the football field this autumn. OCU is reviving football this year after an absence of five years.
"We expect to offer an application for membership in the conference," Simms said, "although primarily we are attending the faculty representatives' meeting to discuss our problems and to familiarize ourselves with the conference regulations."
OCU has scheduled Wichita university of the conference for a football game this fall and hopes to book Oklahoma A. & M., conference champions in all major sports, and Tula university, in basketball and minor sports this year and possibly football in 1947.
"We believe the Missouri Valley membership would greatly enhance our athletic program." Simms said, "and, in turn, we believe we have the city population, drawing power and stadium to add strength to the conference, since Washington university of St. Louis is withdrawing from the league."
Taylor Commended As Editor of Army Paper
Pfc. Charles B. Taylor, former University student, has received a commendation from the commandant of the marine barracks, Kodiak, Alaska, for his "initiative and industry demonstrated in the publication of the Kodiak Gyrene, the unit newspaper."
Taylor is editor of the Gyrene, a weekly news organ containing items of the unit and the men of the garrison.
Pfc. Taylor, advertising manager of the Daily Kansan in 1943, enlisted in the marine corps in 1945. His home is in Lawrence.

Salaries Boosted For Wichita Teachers
Wichita, (UP)—The Wichita board of education has voted a 25 per cent general increase in the salaries of school teachers here for the 1946-47 school year.
The increase was made subject to the board's ability to realize additional revenue through an emergency tax levy. In the event insufficient funds are obtained, the salary increases will be prorated from the money available.

The classes of 1896, 1906, 1921, and 1936 are scheduled to hold reunions and Mortar Board is planning a group meeting. With other organizations expected, Mr. Ellsworth said it will be necessary for alumni to make arrangements in advance for meal service and rooms.
Four Classes Plan Reunions
A priority plan will be worked out for tickets for the University luncheon on June 17, Mr. Ellsworth explained, since the expected demand for tickets is far in excess of available facilities.

THE K.U. VARIETY SHOW
Each of the other acts showed a degree of talent seldom seen on the Oskaloosa stage, particularly of note being the pleasing voice of Harriett Harlow and the dancing of Georgia Lee Westmoreland.
A world premiere was held in Oskaloosa last Monday night, but went unnoticed by a majority of the townspeople. A group of K.U. students, through the courtesy of the K.U. Memorial Association, came up to Oskaloosa for the first public presentation of their new student variety show, "Yucca, Yucca," for the benefit of the University of Kansas World War II Memorial Fund.
The show was a light musical variety and everyone seemed to have a good time including the audience. Terry Horiott, the Master of Ceremonies, stole the show with his takeoff of "Red" Skelton's radio announcer skit, and his commentary throughout the program was indeed clever, although his style was cramped by the partly high-school age audience.

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
The Kansas baseballlers received a much needed boost, both in the field and at the plate, when Bud French reported after the spring football drills.
French, one of the most promising grid candidates for next fall, has added a lot of power to the Jayhawkers' stick work, and has taken over the third spot in the lineup. The former Kansas City Central high star pounded out two home runs in the second game with Nebraska Tuesday, and has been belting the ball at an admirable clip since joining the club.
French took over the second base position in the series with Nebraska, but he probably will be moved to first base for the next four games in an effort to strengthen the infield. This would move reliable Ots White back to second base, and Curly Hayden would return to the outer garden.
If French comes through on first, the Jayhawkers should finish in the runnerup spot to Oklahoma. The Sooners clinched the title when Kansas lost to Nebraska Monday. Kansas entertains Missouri next week for a two-game series which will finish the season for the Jayhawkers.

Why can't the Big Six conference have varsity swimming competition? Most of the other big conferences conduct swimming on a varsity basis, but the Big Six has not done so since 1941. The war caused the dropping of some of these spring sports, but most of the conferences resumed them this year.
Perhaps the conference officials will decide to take up swimming on a Big Six basis next year when they meet at Lincoln May 18. I believe it would be a good thing for the general sports programs at the conference schools.
Some of the swimmers who participated in the intramural meet recently could hold their own against any other school in the Big Six.
Bull Holloway, who holds the N.C.A.A. Jr. College record for the 100-yard backstroke; Stanley Jervis, who set a new intramural record in the 50-yard breast stroke; and Bob Martin, former state champion who finished second to Jervis, to mention only a few, could pile up some points for Kansas in a Big Six meet.
Coach William Shannon's golf team came up with one of the biggest upsets of the season when it
Jervis, Burke Spark Beta Theta Pi To Six-Point Swim Meet Victory
Beta Theta Pi, sparked by Jervis and Burke, walked away with the intramural swimming meet held this week. Navy and Phi Delta Theta were 6 and 8 points behind, respectively.
The diving event was won by Kachinkas, Navy, and the second place went to a fellow blue-jacket, Miller, Navy. Irwin, and Lindsay Phi Delta Theta, tied for third place.
Jervis, Beta Theta Pi, swam the 50-yard breast stroke in 29.7 seconds to take the race and also to break the former record of 31.5 which was established in 1941 by Stevens. Second place went to Kachinskas, Navy, third place to Martin, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and fourth fell to Olander, Phi Gamma Delta.
The 50-yard medley was another first for Jervis, Beta Theta Pi, with a time of 32.1 seconds. The following places went to Martin, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, third to Erwin, Phi Delta Theta, and fourth Holloway, Alpha Tau Omega.
McKay, Phi Delt, won the 100- yard free style swim with a time of
trampled Kansas State Wednesday. The Aggies had beaten the Jayhawkers $10\frac{1}{2}$ to $7\frac{1}{2}$ in Manhattan earlier in the season, but the Kansans came back strong in the return match to win $16\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$ in Kansas City.
It was the first defeat for the Aggies this season, and the Jayhawkers were rated as the underdogs. They wouldn't believe the pre-match dope, but gained sweet revenge for that first defeat.
The golfers have had some tough luck this season, but they can still finish with a 500 average. Bad weather has hampered their practice sessions and also caused poor playing conditions for some of their matches.
The Jayhawkers don't offer any alibis, however, but they all plan to have a better season next year.
59. 2, just 1.2 seconds away from the record set in 1941. Wachtel, Navy, second, Smith, Sigma Nu third and Miller, Sigma Nu, fourth.
The 100-yard back swim was won by Holloway, Alpha Tau Omega, in 69.8 seconds. The second and third places went to Harlan, Sigma Nu and to Anderson, Beta Theta Pi.
The time turned in for the 50-yard free style by Burke, Beta Theta Pi, was 69.8 only one second behind the standing record. Second place was captured by McKay, Phi Delta Theta. Third place went to Holloway, Alpha Tau Omega and fourth to Stucker, Phi Gamma Delta.
In the 150-yard medley relay the Navy team was winner in 56.7 seconds. Second, Beta, third, Phi Gamma Delta, and fourth, Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Phi Delta Theta pulled a surprise when it won the four-lap-relay after having turned in a comparatively slow time in the semi-finals. The time for the winner was 70 seconds. The next places went to Beta Theta Pi. Navy and Sigma Nu.
Scoring for the meet was as follows:
Beta Theta Tia, 35%1; Navy, 29; Phi Delta Theta, 27; sigma Nig, 15; Alpha Tau Omega, 12; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 12; Phi Gamma Delta, 11%1; Sigma Chi, 3; Phi Kappa Psi, 3; Kappa Sigma, 2.

Radio waves are used to carry your voice across the seas to telephones in other lands...across water barriers here at home...to vessels plying inland waters and to ships out at sea. And before too long, radio links will provide telephone service for cars and trucks.
Radio relay systems that will carry long distance messages from city to city are now in the advanced experimental stage.

A.V.C. Finds Students 25 to 1 For O.P.A.
Nearly 900 signatures were obtained to the American Veterans Committee petition asking for the continuance of a strong OPA, the committee announced today.
Duplicate copies of the petitions have been sent to Senator Arthur Capper and to Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, chairman of the Senate Money and Banking Committee now considering the House-amended bill.
"It is gratifying to find that such a large majority, almost 25 to 1, of the students approached, were in favor of a strong OPA," Russell Barrest, AVC chairman, stated. "We could have had 5000 signers if we had taken the time but we wanted to get the petitions to Washington in time to do some good."
The local AVC chapter is sponsoring a public OPA meeting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Prof. Alfred Seeley of the economics department who was with O.P.A. headquarters, will speak.
The petition read "Whereas the Office of Price Administration has done a worthwhile job under difficult conditions in warding off inflation we the undersigned petition that the OPA be continued without crippling amendments."
Capper Differs With A.S.C. on O.P.A.
"I feel that bureaucratic controls should be relaxed, and the O.P.A discontinued after a possible limited extension," Sen. Arthur Carp wrote in a letter to Eugenia Hepworth, A.S.C. president, in answer to a telegram sent him by the A.S.C. urging that he "support the continuation of the O.P.A. with its present power for another year."
Sen. Clyde Reed, to whom the same request was sent, has not replied.
"Like you," Sen. Capper wrote, "I realize the dangers inherent in any wild inflationary developments, especially when demand exceeds Lapply. However, I feel that the O.P.A. should be discontinued, and bureaucratic controls relaxed. I believe the House has done a fairly good job in this direction."
The letter was read at the council's meeting Tuesday night. The merits of filling out an all-school petition on the question were discussed, and Marguerita Kerschen and Joan Anderson were asked to continue their work on the project.
The telegrams were sent in response to a request from the University of Texas, asking that the A.S.C. also contact their senators asking for the extension of the O.P.A., Miss Hepworth said.
Speech Class Hears Anders
Miss Quintilla Anders, director of the speech clinic at the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City, Kan., discussed some phases in her clinical work, at a 3:30 meeting of the afternoon speech correction class Wednesday in the home of Miss Margaret Anderson, 1126 Louisiana.
100 Pelicans Soar Over Mt. Oread
Approximately 100 to 200 white pelicans soared over the University of Kansas campus Tuesday morning for about two hours, Donald S. Farner, assistant curator of birds at Ducke museum said.
It is rare in this part of the country to find them in such large numbers, he added.
"They were apparently following the course of the Kaw river westward toward Topeka."
Professor Farmer is finishing plans for the bird banding station soon to be set up here. Interested in banding young birds he wants to specialize on colonies of red-winged black-birds and purple martins.
Color Prints Display in Fraser
Some new color prints from Switzerland are on the bulletin board on the third floor of Fraser, Sam F. Anderson, German instructor, said today. The periodical prints show costumes, resorts, painting and art, he said.
The Campus Comes Out Of the Dark
It's tough but when the campus lights come on again—and they will tonight, according to W. C. Sanderson, maintenance engineer—the recent blackouts will be only a memory.
Mr. Sanderson said that all the lights on the campus have been turned out at 11 p.m. during the recent "damp" spell because of transformer trouble. He explained that light cable insulation has been found to be weak in certain places in the ground. The water soaked earth has caused a "ground" and the transformers, in turn, "heated."
Most of the weak spots have been found near a gas line, he said. When the gas line was laid some of the workmen probably "chopped" too close to the light cables.
Tonight the lights will remain on all night and transformers will be checked, he said. If they are still "heating", other weak spots will be sought and remedied.
"But," Mr. Sanderson said, "there will be no more lights out on the Hill unless there is an emergency of some sort."

New President Has Long Record Of Leadership
Howard Engleman, president-elect of the All-Student Council, will bring a wealth of experience to the presidency when he takes office this spring.
Engleman came to the University in 1837 from Arkansas City where he'd made an outstanding record in high school athletics and scholarship. In his sophomore year at K. U, he was a regular on the varsity basketball squad and broke a longstanding record set by Coach F. C. Allen by scoring 27 points against Oklahoma.
In his junior year he was a starting player on the Jayhawk squad which went to the N.C.A.A. finals before being beaten by a red-hot Illinois team. After that tournament he was chosen captain of the N.C.A.A. all-star team.
In his last year of competition, 1940-41, he was conference high scorer with a sizzling 16.5 point average a game.
He was graduated in 1941 from the School of Business. During his four years at the University, he was elected a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business fraternity, was on the Dean's honor Roll, and was elected to membership in Sachem, senior men's honorary fraternity. He was also president of the Business school during his last year here.
Following graduation he went to work for Phillips Oil company and played on the independent Phillips Oilers. Later he was given a lieutenant's commission in the navy and during his three years service saw action in Philippine waters and was wounded in an engagement off Okinawa.
Engleman, a tall blond, returned to the University to study law, at the beginning of the spring semester
10 Students Honored For Union Activities
The Union Activities picnic, rained out of Dean Paul B. Lawson's yard, was held Thursday in the Elbow room of the Union.
Members of committees were honored for their work during the past year. They were LuAnne Powell Martha Yingling, Terry Herriott Keith Wilson, Lucille Mahieu, Rosemary Alderman, Mary Longnecker Joan Warton, Virginia Joseph and Dorothy James.
Members of the Union Operating board and guests were Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Waters, Dr. and Mrs. Lawson, Dean and Mrs. Henry Werner, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Klooz and Miss Hermina Zipple.

K.U. Meets Tigers On Diamond Today
The Jayhawkers were to play the Missouri Tigers today in the first of a two-game series at Columbia. The second game will be played tomorrow. The Jayhawks need victories in both games to stay in second place in conference standing.
Coach "Red" Dugan still was juggling the lineup and batting order in an effort to strengthen the team Bub French probably will take over first base with Otis White returning to second base. Curly Hayden was slated to return to his left field position.
Probable Kansas lineup: Anderson, rf; Pritchard, ss; French, 1b

Tom Saffell, who lost a tough game to Nebraska Monday, probably will hurt for Kansas today against the Tigers. Ray Ocamb will pitch for the Jayhawkers tomorrow.
Surplus Jeeps Sell for $523
Fort Riley. (UF)—An average price of $523 was bid here yesterday at the War Assets Administration surplus sale of 133 jeeps in which 350 registrants participated.
The total sales were only 90 per cent of the catalogue ceiling price, a check of the purchasers disclosed.
Divide Vote By One Number Greater Than Number To Be Elected—Complicated, Isn't It?
W. R. Lear, Hiawatha, bid the highest price at $621.
The proportional representation system of counting ballots used on this campus was inaugurated in 1934 to prevent a party that is slightly on majority among voters from swinging the election its way disproportionately.
The "bad example" of the proponents of the plan was cited many years ago when Tammany elected all 30 members of the New York assembly, when a proportional distribution of assembly members would have given it only 19 members.
Under the proportional representation system the votes are all taken out of the boxes and checked for voided ballots first rather than being checked for this one-by-one as they come out of the box.
The total valid vote is divided by a number one greater than the number. This increased quotient is the "quota" that each A.S.C. candidate must receive in order to be elected.
The ballots are then sorted into
quotes according to the first choices. In the College this year, when four women were to be elected to council and there were 771 votes cast for women in the college, the quotient was found by dividing five into the 771 and adding one and the quota became 150.
A candidate is automatically elected, when the quota of 150 first has been reached. The remaining votes over the quota go to the second choice on the ballot.
When all the ballots have been credited to first choices, and the excess ballots credited, the one candidate who is then lowest on the poll is declared defeated and his ballots transferred each to an eligible candidate indicated for the next choice.
The low candidates are declared defeated one at a time and their ballots transferred. It may happen that the last person elected does not have a full quota of votes, but nevertheless will have more than those candidates defeated.
Miller, Theta Win In Women's Softball
Kappa Alpha Theta defeated Gamma Phi Beta, 22-12, and Miller hall beat Kappa Kappa Gamma; 7-4, in the women's intramural softball games Tuesday.
Kappa's Parker and Gunsolly, and Miller's Green and I. Rothenberger played a strong game backed by hard fighting teams. Gamma Phi's pitching-catching pair was Urban and Brown against Theta's battery of Fadler and Francisco.
Tippieray outplayed Alpha Omicron Pi, 8-3, Watkins hall defeated Sigma Kappa, 21-3, Alpha Chi Omega won over Pi Beta Phi, 24-2, in games played Wednesday afternoon.
'You Can't Win,' Price Tells Math Club
"You can't win." Charlotte Price, president of the Math club, told members Thursday afternoon at a regular meeting.
Miss Price showed students the futility of betting by explaining the playing of horses and slot machines. She gave mathematical proof that the "bookies" never lose, and demonstrated the workings of a model slot machine.
The essential disadvantage in gambling," she said, "is that a person can't gamble over a period of time and win because he keeps gambling whether successful or not, always hoping greedily for more."
The annual spring picnic will be May 22, it was announced, and a prize will be awarded at the picnic for the person who has given the best program of the year.
Lois Harkleroad and Dale Rummer were nominated for president and June Montgomery and William Stoner for secretary - treasurer. Election will be at the picnic.

Gas Explosion Kills Kansas City Men
Hutchinson. (UP)—A chain of accidents brought death Wednesday to Louis E. Gilchrist, fireman second class, Raleigh, N.C. He was killed when a Hutchinson Naval Air station truck overturned in answering an alarm near the station.
Six other sailors and one civilian suffered minor injuries in crashes which led to the alarm. After two cars collided head on, a third machine struck the wreckage and kindled a fire which destroyed two of the cars.
Housing Discussed By 22 College Deans
"Where will we house more students and faculty members?"
This was the major problem discussed by Dean Paul B. Lawson and the deans of 22 other state universities last week, at their annual meeting at Columbus, Ohio.
In roundtable discussions, the deans learned that many more students are applying for entrance than any state university can hold.
"Just how the universities can give the veterian the fair chance he deserves," Dean Lawson said, "and how they can supply the much-needed additional faculty members with sufficient salaries and houses for their families are problems being met by colleges and universities throughout the country."
Dean Lawson returned to the campus Wednesday.

In games played Wednesday Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Sigma, Ten Eycks, Delta Tau Delta, and Battenfeld came out on top.
Bob Beeler, Sigma Chi catcher, was injured trying to field one of the Old Timer's bunts. Beeler, in an attempt to pick the ball from the ground, stepped on his finger with a spiked shoe. The finger was broken and the skin torn in several places.
The Tekes won from the Sig Alphs 7-4. in a Monday game.
Phi Delta Theta outscored the Jaycees, 10-2. Battenfold defeated V-12 (B) 12-10 in a high-scoring game, and the Delt's came from behind to beat Delta Upson, 6-3. The Ten Eycks swamped Fi Kappa Alpha, 15-5.
Votes for Boyd Raeburn—those K-Club varsity stickers were effective—served to relieve the tension among glassy-eyed counters gathered in the smoke-filled room in Frank Strong hall last night.
Beta Theta Ki, Pappa Sigma, V-12 (A), Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Phi Delta Theta also won games Thursday.
Kappa Sigma defeated Beta Theta Pi, 7-5. The Beta's took the lead in the first inning, but Kappa Sigma came back in the second to tie the score at two-all. A five run rally in the third provided the winning Kappa Sirs runs.
The Beta's had to rally in the fifth inning to defeat the Ten Eycks, 6-4. The Ten Eycks took an early lead, but sporadic scoring enabled the Beta's to keep within reach.
"It looks like a long night, doesn't it?" an observer taunted, surveying "the people's choice," waiting in rows of plain wooden boxes, carefully padlocked. (He was then put to work.)

An Editorial
Now Let's Settle Down To Work
By LEMOYNE FREDERICK
(Dilly Kansen Editor-in-chief)
Now it's over for another year. It was hardly a quiet election campaign, but K.U. has seen some that were much noisier.
That's behind us now. Our new student government representatives have been chosen, and the future is what counts.
In the past we have too often been prone to take little interest in the student government once it was elected. It is certainly their job to do the major share in seeking solutions for campus problems. But they can achieve little success without the whole-hearted cooperation of the student body. Their responsibility is to serve us. Our responsibility is to support them.
It would be foolish to assume that the new council has smooth sailing ahead. There are plenty of problems that call for attention now, and the days ahead will only multiply those problems.
By cooperation, effort, interest, and devotion to those things which will advance the welfare of all students and make K.U. a better university, the new council can fulfill its obligations. If it fails in any of these attributes the All-Student Council will become a student government in name only.
It is relatively unimportant to which party you belong now that the election is over. The student body has made its choice and now it is up to all of us to give the council our full support.

U.N.'s Real Work Horse
Ever since the United Nations came into operation in London in November, attention has been sharply focused on the activities of its Security Council. This was a natural result of the difficult world problems that have faced it from the beginning.
But during the past week the real agency for the furthering of lasting peace began its meetings in New York with little fanfare. That agency is the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization.
While the Security Council is charged with the settlement of international disputes, U.N.E.S.C.O. is pledged to the all-important job of preventing such disputes by the promotion of world understanding and respect.
The preamble to its constitution reads in part as follows: "The states, parties to this constitution, believing in full and equal opportunities for education for all, in the unrestricted pursuit of objective truth, and in the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, are agreed and determined to develop and to increase the means of communication between their peoples and to employ these means for the purposes of mutual understanding and a truer and more perfect knowledge of each other's lives."
The constitution clearly states that this organization has no authority to interfere with national educational matters that are purely domestic. However, it does pledge to "give fresh impulse to popular education and to the spread of culture; by instituting collaboration among the nations to advance the ideal of equality of educational opportunity without regard to race, sex, or any distinctions, economic or social; by suggesting educational methods best suited to prepare the children of the world for the responsibilities of freedom."
U. N.E.S.C.O. has cut out a big job for itself and yet it is a job that must be done if we are to have any assurance of lasting peace. Ignorance and lack of understanding have been great contributors to wars in the past. Even in America, with our comparatively high level of education, there is wide-spread misunderstanding and suspicion.
The work of this organization must of necessity be planned on a long-range basis and its activity will be inconspicuous in comparison to the more explosive issues in world affairs. But this in no way decreases its vital importance.
We will do well to keep an eye on U.N.E.S.C.O. The success or failure of its program will determine to a large degree whether the world will achieve a permanent peace based on universal understanding and respect between nations.
The University of Oklahoma's threat to withdraw from the Big-6 if Negroes are allowed to compete in conference athletics reminds us of the spoiled little boy who picked up his marbles and went home because the boys wouldn't use his rules.
The report of the mill fire in Atchison last week made no mention of the loss of life. No, there were no lives directly lost but we wonder how many hungry Europeans may die through the loss of $25,000 worth of already very scarce flour.
The Last Straw
The nation has been plagued by much labor strife during the past several months and conditions have often been described as "very serious." But somehow through it all Americans have tried to maintain a feeling of confidence that all would turn out all right.
Call it morale or call it a firm belief in the American way of life, it has helped pull us through some difficult times.
The creator of the famous Varga girl is about to go out on strike unless he gets higher wages!
That would be too much. Somehow, in spite of all the inconveniences of strikes we could always look to the lighter side of life to keep our spirits up—and who has done more to keep up morale than Mr. Varga? In case of doubt, ask any G.I. who went abroad through the courtesy of Uncle Sam.
However, the present coal strike has so disrupted our economy that our morale is beginning to sag. And now, when we are in need of higher spirits, we are about to lose one of our morale boosters.
If Varga quits work, what will G.I.'s and collegians paper their walls with?
Please don't quit, Mr. Varga.
What's happened to the Atlantic Charter? President Truman and the state department seem to have completely forgotten it. We refer to the proposal for a virtual military bloc of the Americas. As if international suspicion was not great enough, new fuel has been added to the fire. It is hard to see how they can reconcile this new proposal with the Atlantic Charter and the spirit of the United Nations.

—From the St. Louis Star-Times
The business placement bureau has scores of contacts with firms located in all parts of the country. Representatives from two or three of these firms visit K.U. almost every week to interview students and make job offers. Also the demand in the midwest, especially in Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, St. Joseph, and St. Louis, is increasing due to a general movement of certain types of industry from the east to the midwest.
Jobby Lobby (VII): Dean Stockton Says
Demand for Business Graduates Will Exceed the Available Supply
The work prospect for graduating seniors in business is very good this year. In fact, the demand for graduating seniors will exceed the supply available. There will be positions for all who want them and are qualified.
BY F. T. STOCKTON (Dean, School of Business)
The reconversion to peace has increased the demand for all college graduates in the field of business. The increase is in evidence this year and will continue, we believe, for several years.
This spring there are approximately 45 graduating seniors from the School of Business, 10 economics majors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and 12 graduate students, who will be available for jobs. By June '47 there should be close to 200 graduating seniors. It is our belief that business will have a growing demand for well qualified K.U. graduates in accounting work, sales work, production work, merchandising, industrial management and personnel fields.
Specific fields in which the demand far exceeds the supply are the public and industrial accounting fields. One reason for this is in the increased complexity of accounting systems necessary to give full information in view of present government controls and the complex tax laws.
There is a very good demand for graduates in all sales fields. This demand will undoubtedly last for the next five to ten years. When production of consumer goods gets underway, normal competition should be resumed and increase the demand for graduates in the merchandising and marketing fields. With the increase in competition and the increasing demand for a better understanding between labor and industry, a new and very important work is open to graduates in industrial relations and personnel work.
In conclusion it is our belief that well trained students in business administration and all areas of business study have an excellent opportunity to get good jobs in 1946 and for many years to come.
Litchen Will Teach Citizenship at K-State
Miss Ruth Litchen, University High school social studies teacher, has been added to the staff of the workshop in citizenship education at Kansas State college June 24 to July 20, Dr. R. A. Walker, director of the Institute of Citizenship, announced today.
Miss Lichen is a former president of the Kansas Council for Social Studies. Other members of the workshop staff will be Robert E. Keohane, University of Chicago and senior author of the state approved civics text, Evan E. Evans, superintendent of schools at Winfield; and Charles E. Hawkes, superintendent at Salina.
The workshop is designed to help teachers of the social sciences in high school and colleges improve their teaching for better citizenship. Some high schools in the state are planning to send their civics and social science teachers to the workshop, Dr. Walker said.

Life is just like a guessing game. Some people simply don't believe in studying for quizzes. Alfred Seelye, assistant professor in marketing, gave a true and false test recently. There wasn't a sound in the room until a loud "clunk" came from the back of the room. Who flipped that coin anyway?
Steaks are hard to get, too. Four Sigma Nu's and their dates were all set for a big steak fry at Lone Star lake. Dick Parsell and Bob Dougherty could hardly wait to get there as they had been anticipating the steaks for days. They even thought they knew of a short cut. Ray Binnicker and George Pol waited in car with the food for over an hour. Dick and Bob were seen at the "Mite" about 10 o'clock eating their seventh hamburger.

Do or die. Tommy Thompson, ardent student politician was "positively furious" Monday. morning. She went around all over the campus tearing off Boyd Raeburn stickers. That other political party had its nerve pasting them everywhere. Wonder where Tommy has been keeping herself these days?
Whoops, a close call. In a cappella practice Monday, Dean Swarthownt asked a few students to move the piano for him as he sorted some music. They gave the huge grand a push and it went rolling across the floor. Luckily they were able to stop it a few inches from the Dean just as he stopped to pick up some music.
Hubba, Hubba. Why Is it that there are so many K.U. women standing in front of one of the side shows at the carnival? Their dates couldn't be inside the show "Temptation and Peaches" or could they?

Band Members Are Awake For That First Class
So you think you're abused because classes are going to start at 8 a.m. next fall.
Before you feel too sorry for yourself, just remember that members of the University band will be setting their alarm clocks even earlier, to get to rehearsals at 7 a.m.
During the football season, they will be drilling on the football field in the early mornings, to be ready to perform for football fans, at home games or out-of-town contests. Last season they made two trips with the team.
In the spring, the band usually makes one or two concert trips, playing an average of three concerts a day. This means that two or three extra rehearsals have to be called, in addition to those every morning. The band's weekly 30-minute broadcasts over KFKU next year will involve still more rehearsals.
Members spend about 225 hours a year with the band, in rehearsals and concerts.
"It's worth it," they say, as they sit on their front row seats at basketball games, and get excused from classes for band trips.
One thing is certain—they're always awake for their first class.

Rhodes Scholarships, Held By Six Kansans Will Be Available Again in October, 1947
"You know what my ideas are. See that you carry them out. If you don't, I'll come back and worry you."
With this terse comment Cecil Rhodes closed his last will. Written in simple, clear phrases, it has sufficed to send more than a thousand scholars to Oxford since the death of the British internationalist and statesman in 1902.

The awarding of Rhodes scholarships from the United States will be resumed in October, 1947, according to the chairman of the local committee on the Rhodes Scholarships, Dean J. H. Nelson. During the war the awards were suspended, but beginning next year 32 appointments will be made in the United States. In addition, a number of war-service appointments will be available to former members of the armed services.
The Scholarships pay an annual stipend of 400 pounds, ($1500 to $2000), for a period of two years, and they lead ordinarily to a degree at Oxford University in England.
To be eligible one must be an American citizen, male, unmarried (except for holders of war-service appointments), between 19 and 25 years of age, and college trained in the United States through the sophomore year.

The first scholarships were offered in 1904. Earl W. Murray fortunately gained one for the University. He later returned to teach Latin here. G. E. Putnam, a graduate of 1908 who also attended Yale, next went from Mt. Oread to Oxford. He returned to K.U. as an economics professor. C. A.

Besides the tweezers, there are the beautiful women themselves. One named "Victory Untying Her Sandal," is placed near the doorway. "Victory Untying Her Sandal" is not an original, but a cast of the real marble statue, which dates from the last quarter of the fifth century B.C.
"Helen Aphrodite," "Victory of Naples," "The Faum," and busts of famous persons of that period, such as Pericles, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius are among the casts in the museum.

Evidently Grecian bootleggers had a hard time subsisting. The Greeks simply stored their drinks in large jars. Two of these genuine antiquities are in the collection. One is encrusted with sea shells.
Another antique is the lid to a Roman burial urn, with a gable representing a house roof. This urn lid is similar to some on display in the Vatican galleries. One cinerary urn in the K.U. collection has an inscription, "To the Deified Shades."
The most valuable single piece of art in the collection is a small figurine of the god Eros which probably dates back to the third century B. C. Miss Grant explained.

WHY WE SAY
by STAN J. COLLINS & L.J SLAWSON
"ON THE CARPET"
In early days the "big boss" had a car- pet in his private office—so when called in for a reprimand the victim stood "on the carpet" and took a tongue lashing.
All students planning to attend the University either this summer or fall are asked to inform the registrar's office this month so that the University can make plans for enrollment.
Coming Back? Tell It To Hitt
James Hitt, registrar, said today that students may insure themselves a place in the University under the priority system by signing up in the registrar's office on the main floor of Frank Strong hall during the month of May.
To avoid congestion, students are asked to sign up at the office according to the following schedule, the registrar stated. (Letters are for initial letter of last name)

"This is not a pre-registration in the sense that it will eliminate registration in the fall." Mr. Hitt said,
"but checking in this way will help avoid congestion in the fall and give us a chance to check on students before they call in the office this fall."
Government Argues Congress Guarantees Work for Inductee
Washington. (UP)—The government argued before the supreme court today that congress intended the draft act to guarantee each inductee a year's reemployment, regardless of any union seniority rules.
Assistant Attorney General John F, Sonnett, counsel for Abraham Fishgold, a war veteran and Brooklyn welder, challenged the interest of a CIO union in the super-seniority case. Sonnett asked the court to declare void an appeals court ruling that denied Fishgold's absoluted right to reemployment.
'Difference Between Fact, Theory Must Be Made In College Chem'
In the United States, 500 million barrels of oil were discovered in 1942.
The theoretical tail sometimes wags the pedagogical dog even in chemistry, but here, as elsewhere it is an undesirable condition.
The use of chemical theory as a 'tool, not as a creed, is advocated by Harry H. Sisler and Calvin A. VanderWerf, professors of chemistry, in an article recently published in the Journal of Chemical Education.
Modern theory as a tool in teaching elementary college chemistry has been used by the authors, and has been successful as a basis for interpreting additional knowledge, rather than a loose bundle of unrelated facts which slip from the individual's memory one by one.
Adverse criticisms of undergraduate chemistry courses are not unusual, the authors point out, and the criticisms are not entirely unjustified. Memorization of a mass of more or less interesting and related facts has been required, but the broad, underlying principles in terms of which the student may evaluate and correlate the facts he has learned have been ignored.
"Our theories are and always will be imperfect," Professor Sisler and Professor VanderWerf admit, "but recent developments in the fields of physics, and physical and theoretical chemistry have led to the discovery of a few broad, basic concepts in terms of which we believe it is possible to organize throughgoing, integrated, and internally consistent courses in inorganic chemistry at the elementary college level."
Attempts to apply the modern theoretical principles in K.U.'s chemistry courses lie in the use of a revised periodic table which lists the 92 elements in order of their atomic number, increasing atomic weight, and graduation in properties, and in the explanation of the formation of chemical bonds which hold the elements such as sodium and chlorine in combination in compounds such as common salt.
The concepts must be introduced as early in the course as feasible and,

if repeatedly and consistently applied and explained in connection with the descriptive material presented, will systematize and simplify the beginner's study, the authors advice. Differences in physical properties such as boiling points, melting points, and solubilities among the groups of organic chemistry including the commonly known alcohols, ethers, and acids may be explained this way.
TONIGHT Through Saturday
Clear-cut distinctions between fact and theory must be maintained, the authors emphasize, but the student may soon be led to realize that should new theory replace the present one, it probably will have been fashioned by the present concept, and that the new can best be understood and utilized by those who were thoroughly familiar with the old.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Two of the best attractions of the spring sports program will be offered here tomorrow. The Missouri Tigers invade Lawrence to clash with the Jayhawkers on the cinders and on the tennis courts.
This will be the last opportunity for students and sports fans to watch the Crimson and Blue thinclads perform on the home track this season, and it will be the last meet for the Jayhawkers before going to Lincoln for the Big Six carnival.
The Kansans have come along fast since taking to the outdoors and it should be a real battle for top honors tomorrow. Missouri will present much stiffer competition than the Jayhawkers have faced in their other two dual meets, but the Kansans will be slight favorites because of their strength in the field events.
--world of collegiate athletics.
Tomorrow's tennis matches also should be the best played here this season. Kansas journeyed to Columbia last week rated as favorites over the Tigers, but the Jayhawkers were lucky to come home with a tie. It took some beautiful net smashes from the raucacets of Roy Shoaf and Bob Groom to take their doubles match and gain a tie.
The Tigers will have their claws sharpened for tomorrow's encounter. If they can defeat the Jayhawkers, it would mar the Kansans undefeated record and make the title race closer.
The netmen are enjoying their best season in several years, and they should win the Big Six championship if they can get by Missouri successfully. It will be a real battle.
With two fine sports going on right under our very noses, the students should turn out and give these teams some support. Both events will take place on the stadium grounds, the track meet in the stadium proper and the tennis matches on the concrete courts west of the stadium.
Student interest in these spring sports has never been as high as it should be, even in the roles of spectators. Between 2,000 and 4,000 students turn out for every football or basketball game, but comparatively a handful turn out for track, tennis, or baseball games in the spring.
There should at least be severa hundred students at these sport contests. There is every reason why we should give out support to these teams, if we are to build up the name of Kansas university in the
Golfers Beat K-State Here
The Jayhawkers handed the Kansas State Wildcats their first Big Six conference defeat on the golf links, $16\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$, Wednesday on the Swope Park course in Kansas City. The victory also avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Aggies at Manhattan.
Jack Hines, Jayhawker ace, captured medalist honors with a three-over par 75.

K-State Says He'll Live to 150 (And in Manhattan, Too)
Manhattan. (UP) - Twenty-two-year-old Robert Bolivar DePugh, a student at Kansas State college here, vowed today that he'd live to be 150 years old—and cited family statistics to back up his prediction.
DePugh said he was out to beat the longevity of Thomas Parr, who reached 152 years.
DePugh, who registered from Kansas City, Kan., said his own family tree included five great-grandparents who are or have lived to be more than 100 years old. As far as he knows, all still are living.
Let's all get behind these teams and other Jayhawker teams with out wholehearted support. it's up to us whether Kansas takes the hgh road or the low road on the athletic fields.

Fu Manchu's District Of London Is Pretty Tame Stuff To Othman
B FREDERICK C, OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Concordonet)
London. (UP)—Hush. Subterranean passages. Fumes of opium. Fingers of fog clutching at your throat. Secret docks. The insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. His cellars of Pennyfield street. Limehouse. Shhhh.
Save my collector sue every British detective yarn, writer who's scared me these many years with tales of horror in Limehouse.
Having left my wallet in the office
ault and gone two days without a
have (so I'd look suitably tough) I
pent a night in Limehouse, where
I understood every third man was a
murderer and every female was an
operative of Fu Manchu.
The only Chinese I saw were playing cards. They scarely looked up when I poked my head in the door. There were ships at the docks and a few sailors struggling up to Pennyfield street where, more imaginary deeds of dastardy have been performed probably than anywhere else in the world.
I kept looking behind me (you'll understand if you've ever been addicted to British detective tales) but nobody swapped me on the head with a lead pipe not pulled me into any sinful den. The streets were deserted. There was no fog.
Whole blocks of Limehouse were leveled by the blitz bomb, but there still stood a place called The Anchor that looked suitably mysterious from without. Dim lights, one small door, strange noises seeping out. I ventured in.
The Anchor was a saloon selling nothing but mild beer. There were some sailors inside quaffing same. Two of them were playing a darts game and arguing about it. That's where the noise came from. The bar keepers, a portly lady with authority in her hiss, hushed them. I used a beer and staggered into the timehouse night.
Down the street was the far-
red Charles Brown's hangout
down to all sailors over the world.
The piano was tinkling "I Can't Give
Me Anything But Love, Baby."
some folks inside, mostly sailors and marsecled girls, were guzzling weak beer and singing about love. They sounded plain awful. The flags of the world fluttered from the ceiling. Two waitresses in felt hats with
customers. This looked tough, alright, but I was getting braver. I swaggered to the bar trying to look like a character out of Sax Rohmer, banged on the beer drippings trudging across the mahogany, and ordered a gin. "Gimme a double
gin," I told the overworked barman.
"I am very sorry, sir." he said,
"but double gins are strictly against
the law. I can sell only single gins,
but you can have two of those."
A fine thing, Limchouse, and here a hard-boiled character named Othman couldn't even buy a double slug of gin.
I took two singles, poured them in the same glass, and joined in the choral work. A double gin at Charlie Brown's turned out to be half an inch of yellowish fluid in the bottom of a water glass, with little more wallop than a strawberry malted milk.
I got out of there with my regard for my tery writers at low ebb, but the worst still was to come.
I hoofed down Ming street, where some fictional tales worse than death also have been perpetrated, and it pains me to report what I saw. The citizens of the district were lining up to spend a Limehouse night at the cinema watching Clark Gable smooth Green Garson
The shame of it. Tomorrow I sue.
Nimitz Foresees 'Push Button' Navy
Washington. (UP)—A push button navy of ships driven by atomic power and firing jet-propelled atomic missiles guided by radar was foreseen as a possibility by ranking U.S. admirals today.
Adm. Chester W, Nimitz, chief of naval operations, said the future navy "may include battleships powered by an atomic plant, protected by unbelievably stout new materials, and firing jet-propelled missiles instead of 16-inch shells."
"It may even include submarines of very high speed, making long voyages far beneath the sea to surface suddenly off some distant enemy shore to launch their missiles and then hiding themselves in the ocean depths against retaliation."
His statements were included in "battle stations," a report on the navy in World War II.
To Investigate Dispute
Washington (UP)—President Truman today ordered the appointment of an emergency board to investigate a wage dispute between 13 leading American airlines and the Air Line Pilots association.

Old-Time 'Circuit'
Preacher Back to Russell
Russell. (UP)—The old-time circuit-riding preacher returned to Russell county today in the person of a recently discharged navy chaplain.
The Rev. S. Ben Finley announced he would hold services each Sunday in Methodist churches at Vincent, Luray, Waldo, and Paradise.
The Rev. William H. Jenkin, pastor of the Russell Methodist church, probably the county's largest congregation, already is doubling as minister of the Bunker Hill church.
Harvard Doctor Claims Atomic Energy Cure
Boston. (UP)—A Harvard medical researcher has claimed the first successful cure of a disease by the application of atomic energy.
Dr. Saul Hertz, a research associate at both Harvard medical school and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, described his treatment with radioactive iodine therapy of hyperthyroid.
Victims of this disease, he said,
may be cured by artificial radioactivity at a cost reduced from the present $200 and $300 to $2.50 if the army releases the necessary elements.
Dr. Hertz, who also is a navy commander, said his form of internal X-ray treatment was highly successful in curing hyperthyroid or exophthalmic goiter, commonly called the "pop-evel" type.
Once the army makes available the radioactive iodine, this new method may eliminate the need for hospitalization or surgery, Dr. Hertz said. Formerly, exophthalmic goiter could be cured only by an operation.
Dr. Hertz explained that when internal beta irradiation is applied to goiter it kills the overactive cells and leaves only a normal goiter. Other organs of the body are not affected by such treatment, he said.
On Houdini's death in 1926, his library on magic was left to the National Library of Congress.

Beer Hearing Is Postponed By Amendment
Roy Borgen, owner of the Dinea-Mite cafe, today amended his petition to restrain the Douglas county authorities from enforcing the beer-dance resolution, postponing the hearing n the petition originally set for this morning.
The amendment to Mr. Borgen's petition said that immediately after the adoption of the regulation by the county commissioners, posters printed with the ruling prohibiting dancing were posted by the sheriff in all places affected by the resolution. Public announcements also had warned persons against dancing in places licensed to sell cereal malt beverages.
The original ruling made by the commissioners has been amended to state that dancing is prohibited in places licensed to sell cereal malt beverages during the hours when the beverages are sold.
the amendment, filed with the clerk of the district court this morning, states that the ruling of the commissioners is aimed directly at the individual conduct of Mr. Borgel's customers. No date has been set for the new hearing.
At present, Mr. Borgen permits dancing between 8:30 p.m. and 12 midnight on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with a cover charge. Beer is not sold during this time.
Eight finalists were chosen from 18 soecht contestants Wednesday night in preliminaries of the speaking contest sponsored by Delta Sigma Rho The contest will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser theatre.
Eight Finalists Chosen For Speech Contest
Subject for the contest is "Postwar Problems of the University of Kansas." A silver trophy will be awarded the winner. Members of the speech department are judges.
Those selected for the finals are: Kenneth Beasley, Robert Bock, Ben Foster, Harold Harvey, Kathleen Howland, Joe Merritt, Dorothy Scroggy, and Frederic Thomas.
Other participants in the preliminaries were Eugene Fisher, Keith Wilson, Glenn Varenhorst, Wayne Hird, Maxine Bell, J. L. Callahan, Holdreth Stong, John Bergstrom, Paul Wisner, and Paul Dilabal.

Track Men Meet Tigers Tomorrow
Coach Ray Kanehl will send the same track to men at the startping against the Missouri Tigers at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow at the stadium as he did against Kansas State. The Jayhawkers overwhelmed the Aggies 85-45.
The contest will be the Jayhawk's last meet before next week's conference carnival in Lincoln and will offer a good chance to compare KU. strength with favored Nebraska. The Huskers defeated Missouri, 75-56, last week.
Kansas hopes to use its winning weight pattern for its third consecutive outdoor dual title. The Jayhawkers will pin their hopes on Charlie Black, Leroy Robison, Karl Ebel, Tom Scofield, and Bob Stoland in the field events.
Johnny Jackson and Hal Moore are Kanehl's top hopes to take track events, with Harold Hinchee running a close third. The relay teams will have their hands full against the Tigers, but they hope to come through with victories in these events.

A.S.C. For Aid To Foreign Students
Pledging support to American scholarships for foreign students, the A.S.C. appointed a committee for the project, at its meeting Tuesday night.
Members of the committee, who will work with Dean Henry Werner and the finance committee, are Carolyn Nigg, chairman; Betty Ball, Franzena Jackson, and Wendell Nickell.
A committee to send letters to other universities concerning foreign students, and asking suggestions, includes Marguerita Kerschen, chairman; Carroll McCue, and Joan Anderson.
"Students of Europe need help, and a small quota of approved foreign students should be given scholarships by American universities," Dean Werner told the council.
The council went on record as supporting the food conservation program.
The A.S.C. bulletin committee has completed plans for publishing a paper "explaining the projects carried out by the council this year." Dixie Gilland, chairman, reported.
Tryouts for next year's cheerleaders will be at 7:30 p.m. May 27 in the Union ballroom, it was decided.
Student checks can be cashed at the business office after July 1. Shirley Wellborn, chairman of the special check committee, said, but the committee has no information about the size of checks, or the cost of cashing them.
New council members will be sworn in at the third A.S.C. meeting after the election, Eugenia Hepworth, president, announced.

K-Club Won't Select A Queen This Year
No K-Club queen will reign this year, Leroy Robison, K-Club president, announced today.
Thirty-five candidates had been selected by their organized houses, and K-Club members were to have voted Wednesday night on a queen and two attendants for the K-Club dance Saturday, at which Boyd Faeburn's band was to play.
Raeburn's Hollywood agent today told Karl Klooz, bursar, that Raeburn can not afford to charter a plane to come this far. No other big name band can be contracted, so the dance has been cancelled, Mr. Klooz said.

Dr. Norman Hill, chairman of the political science department at the University of Nebraska, will speak on "The United Nations and the Possibility of Permanent Peace" at the mock U.N. conference in Hoch auditorium Saturday, Donald Ong, chairman of the planning committee, said today.
Delegates from 10 midwestern colleges are planning to attend the conference, Ong said. Kansas State, which recently held an International Security assembly, will send five persons. The University of Missouri also will sent five delegates.
Atomic bomb control, the Spanish question, and the Japanese, German, and Italian peace treaties will be discussed during the sessions from 10 a.m. until noon and from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
On each issue, students will be asked to vote as individuals and not to give the views of the nations concerned. Conclusions as to what K.U. students are thinking on each question will be the result of this conference. Ong said.
Officers of the conference, speakers and secretaries will be seated on the stage. The basketball floor will be cleared and tables and chairs set up for delegates. Some seats will be retained for spectators.
All issues will be presented in general assembly. No sessions of the security council will be held, because the participating nations then would be limited to 11, Ong explained.
A raised platform will be set up below the stage where Buford Trible, special student in the College and radio announcer at WREN, will see as commentator to summarize issues before votes are taken.
Each organized house to which one of the 27 major countries of the United Nations has been assigned is studying two questions, Ong explained. Four or five nations are considering each question. A person has been appointed to summarize the questions of each nation, and another will summarize for the four or five nations on each question.

Regents Approve Student Bookstore, Increase In Fees, Allen's Resignation Bookstore Ready This Fall. Werner Says Allen To Devote Full Time to Coaching Incidental Fee Upped $15 A Semester
K. U.'s student bookstore will become a reality this fall, according to Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, if a manager can be found and contracts made for securing books in time for the semester opening.
The Board of Regents approved the bookstore which will sell books and supplies for classrooms and laboratories, in their meeting here Friday.
Interviewing of applicants for bookstore manager will begin Tuesday afternoon in the office of Karl Klooz, bursar, and will be conducted by a sub-committee of the Union operating committee, Dean Werner announced.
"Whoever is accepted must be an experienced bookstore manager," he said, "since he will make contacts with the faculty about the order list, and will be responsible for finding and ordering the books."
Arrangements will be made to convert the sub-basement of the Union into space for the bookstore immediately after this semester is completed, Dean Werner said.
The bookstore will absorb all of the present offices in the sub-base-basement of the Union, the W.E.C. book exchange, 17 feet of the recreation room and part of the hallway. The south door will not be open except for the delivery of books, and as an employees entrance, he said.
"One of the big questions is where to put these offices which must be vacated," Dean Werner commented. "We are going to try to build three offices between the two pillars and the east wall in the men's lounge in the union," he said, "but this has not yet been approved by the operating committee."
Her Roommate Really Put Her Foot Into It
Today Martha is ready to give her senior recital, but her cello isn't ready. And judging from the cello's looks, it never will be ready.
Four years Martha Lee Baxter has been looking forward to the day when she and her cello would be presented in a senior recital.
Another cell won't do for Martha As she's only five feet and 90 pounds of cellist, she has been using a three-quarter size cello, end the School of Fine Arts can't locate another similar cello anywhere around.
Martha was practicing yesterday and set the cello down when she went to answer the telephone. Her roommate came into the room, failed to see the cello, stepped right in the middle of it, and made it good only for termite food.
Alpha Phi Omega Initiates 13 At Dinner Meeting Sunday
Thirteen new members were initiated into Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, at a dinner Sunday night at the Hearth.
Martha may be able to give her senior recital later, but until a cello can be found, the recital scheduled for tonight has been postponed indefinitely.
Initiates are Richard Houseworth, Fred Gableman, Warren Shaw, Sidney Johanson, George Waugh. Lawrence Exley, John Awald, Cecil Chapplewol, Floyd Eoosman, Thornton Cooke, Charles Smith, Oren Stanley, and Robert Franklin.
VIEW FOOTBALL CLUB
Dr. F. C. Allen will resign as chairman of the physical education department July 1 and devote his full basketball and teaching, Chancellor Deane W. Ma-
DR. F. C. ALLEN
teaching, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
Henry Shenk, head football coach last fall, will replace Dr. Aller as head of the department, Chancellor Malott said.
Dr. Edwin R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education since 1939, will be in charge of research and graduate programs in the department.
Dr. Allen first coached the K.U. basketball team in 1908 and 1909. He then left the University, returning in 1919 to serve as professor of physical education and basketball coach. He has never coached a lastplace team.
In addition to turning out championship teams, he has written two books, "My Basketball Bible" and "Better Basketball" and is the author of "Organization and Administration of Physical Education and Athletics in Higher Education."
He is one of the founders of the National Basketball Coaches association, has served on the National Rules committee, and associated in the founding of the N.C.A.A tournament. In 1936, he was responsible for basketball's first spot in the Olympic games. He was an organizer of the Kansas Relays.
Dr. Allen will continue in his present position of professor of physical education and will teach classes in professional curriculum in the department.
Shenk, a K.U. graduate, acted as football coach from 1943 to 1945. He was made instructor in physical education in 1941, assistant professor in 1942.
Elbel, recently returned from the Army air forces, was a member of the research staff in the Aviation school of medicine, Randolph Field, Texas, during most of his service career.
Smith Attends Law Institute Convention
Composed of judges, lawyers, and law teachers, this institute has been working for the last 25 years on rephrasing the American common law," Dean F. J. Moreau, of the School of Law, said.
Professor Smith is a life member of the organization which is meeting at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Prof. J. B. Smith left Saturday to attend the 23rd annual convention of the American Law institute in Philadelphia.
Fees for the summer session and other short terms will increase proportionately.
Students' incidental fees will increase $15 a semester, and all laboratory and class fees will be abolished, effective immediately, the state board of regents decided at its meeting Friday in Chancellor Deane W. Malott's office.
Students in laboratory courses will continue to pay for any breakage of equipment.
The change will apply to all schools of the University excepting the School of Medicine. Resident medicine students will pay $100, instead of the present $30, while non-resident medicine students' fees will increase from $85 to $175.
Fine Arts students will continue to pay extra charges for private music lessons, and for the rental of practice instruments.
"This increase in the incidental fee from $25 to $40 is really a convenience to the students," Chancellor Malott said. "It will eliminate their paying several small extra fees at the Business office, and having to get refunds and pay other fees when they change classes."
The University will obtain little additional revenue from the change, he said, for additional cost to students not enrolled in any courses with extra fees will be offset by the savings to others in courses with large laboratory charges. The University catalog lists about 300 courses with additional laboratory or course charges.
Students To Pay $5 Yearly Union Fee
A $ 5 yearly Union fee has been established at the University at the request of the All-Student Council and the Union Operating committee, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
The money obtained will be used to finance the Union's operation and the addition planned for the building. Chancellor Malott explained.
First of these will be a one-story structure to the north, with soda fountain facilities, he said. Charles Marshall, state architect, is completing plans for the addition, which will be constructed as soon as labor and materials are available, probably this summer.
The state board of regents approved the establishment of the fee Friday.
"The Kansas statutes require such a fee, if the Union plans to expand," Chancellor Malott said.
Summer session students will pay a $2 Union fee.
Newman Club Pays Tribute
A "living rosary" was the Mother's day tribute offered by members of the Newman club, UNiversity Catholic club, at Danforth chapel last night.

Good Health For All
Kansas officials report satisfactory progress on the plan they are developing for voluntary health insurance. Other states also are working on similar projects in the hope of removing the argument of public need for Truman's national bill when Congress has done with more pressing matters.
Another stock argument is that such a plan would lower medical standards. How? The doctor's first motive is supposed to be service to mankind, not profit. Granted that there are mercenary ones, they must do better tonsillectomies than their neighbor if the world is to make a beaten path to their door. The certainty of having bills paid would be another incentive that few physicians always have now.
When the President's plan for universal health insurance first was presented, opposing interests cried in horror-stricken tones "Why, that's socialized medicine!" That term of course implies something inherently dangerous to most Americans.
The idea that doctors themselves, especially those with a wealthy clientele, have been so careful to publicize, is that socialized medicine automatically would be a mass-production system. Just why it should not be a plan for the individual to continue to go to his family doctor and have standard fees paid from the fund to which he has contributed has not been explained.
That state education is a benefit, scarcely anyone will deny. Why then should provision for an even more fundamental necessity, physical well-being, be any less democratically administered by governmental agencies?
Voluntary programs are good for those they reach. The flaw is that those who need help worst are not included. Many persons suffer all their lives for defects which improvident parents fail to have corrected when they are children.
To many families with limited incomes, voluntary medical insurance is a luxury that they feel they can do without. Those same people will put off going to a doctor until it is absolutely necessary because they feel they cannot afford it, and often the trouble advances beyond cure, or at least easy cure.
least easy cure. Each year there are approximately one hundred million cases of sickness in the nation, and about fifteen million of these are serious. During the war the army rejected three and one-half million persons as physically unfit. Another two and one-half million were considered remedial 4-F's.
It is certainly evident that our national health needs attention, and any plan that is to be successful must be framed to apply to all citizens. We cannot quarantine disease with today's mobility of population. A system of health insurance available to all seems the only logical answer.—A.B.
What's Democracy, Anyway? German Youth Asks in Confusion
Berlin, (UF) — Democracy has German boys and girls all mixed up. They can't decide what this new force in their lives really is.
force of Sixteen youths, under 21, born shortly after or before Adolf Hitler rose to power, tried to define it in the new American-licensed youth magazine "Horizon."
Until the war ended, democracy was to them only a whipping boy for Dr. Goebbels. This is what it is now:
To Hans-Joachim Hackbarth, 12, who lives in a badly bomed section of Berlin, it means: be busy, work a lot, never become a soldier and never become a party member.
"Then," he explained, "you can go through the darkest woods without being afraid of death."
Poldi Klein, somewhat bitter, wrote "In Germany today, we call it democracy if a democratic party takes up a revolutionary plan against the still-wake democratic state."
Rita Schrattenholz believed that a true democracy can reign "only when the have-nots are in possession of the economic and political power."
The definition of Brigitte Guttstadt was that a democracy must have, above all, complete freedom of speech, conscience and press.
Communist—"Democracy is not
A youth named Klaus Budzinski said he interviewed several Germans and got the following definitions:
Mathematician—"If each of the four German democratic parties has its own character, does that imply that democracy has none?"
Gerhard Mechau asked, "Is it democracy if in one occupation zone dictators are placed before the German youth and attempt to cram into them a uniform conception of life?"
communism, but communism is democratic."
Clergyman—"A repentant Nazi is more liked by God than 99 self-complacent democrats."
Cheese Attacks Man While Traffic Waits
Young Hans Schmidt was the briefest of all.
"Democracy?? he asked. "I don't know. I am completely confused."

Paul Bretengard, the driver, was knocked unconscious by a 90-pound block of cheese which hit him on the head. He was not seriously injured.
The truck turned over on the bridge,ripping out ten feet of guard rail and spilling its cargo.

Rock Chalk Talk
—From the St. Louis Star-Times
By MARILYN STEINERT
Sorority bediam. Confusion ran rampant at the Chi O house the other evening. It all started when Regina McGeorge threw a glass of cold water on Jo Larson in the bath-tub.
A few minutes later Regina received a call to go down to her mail box and get some ballots left by someone for Union activities. Needless to say, Joo Larson was not surprised when Regina came back and said they weren't there.
At this point Pat Strang got into the act by putting a teddy bear under the covers at the foot of Jo's bed. But Jo was not going to let her get the best of her so she and Mollie Wilson took a stuffed owl out of the closet and put it at the foot of Pat's bed.
Professor Davis went on to say that, "if the income tax system was run right there would be no unemployment because half the people in the country would be in jail and the other half would be building more jails to hold them."
Just doing her duty. Everything was so confusing during last week's election campaign that one of the girls working at the polls tried to
Pat let out such a shriek when she got into bed that Mollie took the owl out. But as she did, Pat Pearson sat up in bed, saw the owl, screamed, and ran out of the dorm, which just goes to show you that it's the innocent bystander who gets it in the end.
Good publicity, that's all. Becky Vallette was in search of a topic on which she could write an editorial for editorial class. After searching high and low, Becky proceeded to comment on campus politics. But she was very surprised to see campaigning start a week and a half before election. "Who is Boyd Rae-burn, anyway, and what is he running for?" she asked.
Those confusing taxes. Professor Davis, in giving an example of how confusing the income tax situation is, said that one income tax expert tried to help one man compute his taxes and finally ended up by saying, "That's the best I can do for you. I'll see you in the federal pen."

Letter to the Editor... Kansan's Sport Spotlight Is Out of Focus, Says Junior
To the Daily Kansan: Bill Sims, in his column "Spotlight on Sports," has on several occasions criticised the students, the faculty, and the alumni for their failure to support the K.U. athletic program.
However, Sims' column has consisted, for the most part at least, in a rehash of the professional baseball program which had been printed earlier in more detail in the local and Kansas City papers.
Despite the fact that there are several spring sports teams, about which we hear all too little as it is, Sims fails to bring us any "spotlight" about our own teams. He seems to prefer to report news concerning the various professional teams in the country.
Inasmuch as the Kansan is a school paper, let's have more feature articles about our own track, baseball, tennis, and golf teams.
J. D. KABLER College Junior
If Mr. Sims wishes to criticise anyone for not supporting the athletic program, he need look no farther than his own desk. Let's hear more about what's going on in our own back yard before we go peering over the fence a block away.
(Editor's note: We checked up on all the "Spotlight" columns that Sims has written and arrived at the following figures: columns devoted to local sports—20, columns devoted to non-local sports—11, and columns devoted to a combination of local and non-local sports—8. On the assumption that many students do not have time to read another daily paper regularly, we attempt to provide a well-rounded news diet without restricting ourselves entirely to local events.)
Malott Is in K.C.
Chancellor - Malott is in Kansas City on University bushness today and will return to the campus this afternoon.
He showed, and explained slides of pictures he had taken on his visits in the Atlantic area as an army aerial weather forecaster.
You Can Live On A Shoestring In Azores---Chronic
"I talked to a gardener in the Azores who, on 20 cents a day (which he had been making for 20 years), was supporting five children," Chronic said.
"Go to the Azores, if you want to live cheaply." John Chronic. J graduate geology student, told members of the geology club Thursday night.
He described the people as "happy folks, who make lots of wine and wear no shoes." He commented that the women have large feet and may wear wooden shoes on Sundays.
In North Africa, the natives live closely in groups, building houses within three feet of each other, Chronic explained. Cattle-raising and grain-growing are the only important industries.
"They live on the road where they can talk to everybody," he said. "This is their only means of contact with the outside world."
He also showed pictures of Newfoundland, Greenland, and The Bermudas.
The Rev. Dr. Harold G. Barr, instructor of religion, gave the Bacca-laureate sermon at Hamlin high school Sunday. He spoke on "A Heavy Load Alone."
He described the Icelanders as independent, prosperous people who live in isolation. They support themselves by raising sheep and by fishing, he said.
"African women wear 'sheets,' he said, "and one can see nothing."
Governor Approves Hays Walkout (He Didn't Mean To)
Barr Speaks at Hamlin
Topeka. (UP) — Gov. Andrew Schoeppel said today he didn't realize that Hays college students were in a mass walk away from their campus when he gave them an excuse at a veterans rally in LaCrosse last week.
He said a quick glance convinced him they were a clean cut group of young people and that he recalled one or two occasions in his own college experience when a note from the governor would have been a tremendous help.

C. H. R.
CHARLOTTE PRICE
With her ability to remember names and faces, Charlotte Price knows and is known by almost everyone on the campus.
Always in a hurry, she has had a busy four years of college. From Kappa Phi pledge to president, she has helped the chapter grow from a membership of a few to a membership of 130 college women.
Although she is majoring in Math and has been president of the Math club, she has found time to sing alto in the First Methodist church choir and to teach a Sunday school class.
In addition to her interest in music, Charlotte has been active in sports, being vice-president of W.A.A. and a member of the senior basketball team.
During the hectic week of enrolling, she is the one who gives the last check on the enrollment card as the students pass out of the pen.
At basketball and football games, Charlotte can be seen in her Jay Jane swater and skirt. She is also a member of Y.W.C.A. Mortar board, the Independents, and recently was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Armed with a teacher's certificate, Charlotte will be teaching math to high school students next fall and on the side will slip in cheers about the fun of being a "Jayhawk, up at Lawrence on the Kaw."

Summerfields Are Men with Promise of Future Usefulness
It takes more than brains to be a scholar.
It takes more than that certain inexplicable quality which everybody likes to stamp simply as "impeccable character."
Solon Summerfield, University endowment donor, had definite ideas about scholars—he said they needed more than brains, or "impeccable character," when he first gave a scholarship fund of $5,000 to K.U. in 1929.
Since then, more than 200 men have attended the University on Summerfield scholarships, awarded to them because they were "men of superior ability, high ideals, and definite promise of future usefulness," as Mr. Summerfield believed they should be.
When Mr. Summerfield, now president of the Gotham silk hosiery manufacturing company in New York City, gave $5,000 to K.U. in 1929, he made more provisions. For the academic year 1930-31, he would deposit $10,000 with the Endowment association, $15,000 for 1931-32, and for each succeeding year thereafter, $20,000. The $20,000 is now used as Mr. Summerfield suggested.
To qualify for one of these scholarships, the student first is nominated by his high school principal. Then preliminary examinations, to test his personal ability and training, are held in the spring at various points over the state. If he succeeds here, he still has far to go. Only a limited number of those making the best showing on this test are invited to enter the final examination later at the University. From these are chosen as many as the Summerfield fund will permit.
"I desire," he said, "that the income from the fund shall be distributed to scholars who do not have means sufficient to enable them to carry on their studies most advantageously. The scholars shall be guaranteed a reasonable living income by having their private resources supplemented, when necessary, by payments from this fund.
"I hope," he continued, "that there will be no distinction between those who receive financial aid and those who do not. I do not wish the acceptance of aid to carry any legal obligation for its repayment. My reward will come from the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped these boys accomplish more in the world than they otherwise could have done.
"I trust that every reasonable means will be faithfully employed in estimating the qualifications of candidates for these scholarships, so that they may be awarded only to the most capable and most worthy of the candidates."
K. U. men who hold Summerfield scholarships are J. Earl Barney, Clyde E. Jacobs, D. Allen Rogers, J. D.Kabler, Warren L. Kump, Robert W. McJones, Robert L. Bailey, George H. Caldwell, Dale I. Rummer, James R. Bowden, Dean T. Collins, John E. Crump, Hal M. Davison, Delmer F. Harris, James C. Henderson, Charles W. Marsh, Wilbur B. Noble, Donald E. Owen, William L. Stringer, Austin H. Turney, Jr., O. William Vandiver, W.Glenn Warner, and Gerald G. Wilson.
Kansas Bumper Wheat Crop Prospect Gone, Survey Says
Chicago. (UP) — Kansas, the nation's biggest winter wheat state, lost hope of a bumper crop, according to a survey by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway company.
Immediate rain, however, still could produce a normal or better crop, the survey said. It covered reports received up to April 27.
The southwestern portion was hit worst and it appears doubtful if this corner of the county will raise wheat as 50 per cent of what wheat as last year, the report said.
A similar condition prevails in northwestern Kansas, but a good crop is expected from the mid-central portion. However, all Kansas except the eastern third needs moisture, the report showed.
The state had been expected to produce 212,175,000 of the government's national forecast of 830,636,000 bushels.

Considering The Price of Man, He Really Isn't Worth A——
By ALVERTA NIEDENS (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
Such a lot of machinery for such a little guy, and he's practically worthless, too.
In line with post-war prices, man, who used to be considered worth about 89c, is now priced between $1.25 and $1.50, according to Prof. R. Q. Brewster of the chemistry department. "And most of that goes for taxes," he said.
When Mother-Nature squirted man into his gunny sack and woman into a sugar sack exoskeleton, she was practical, economical, and not the least artistic in her work. How was she to know what Varga would do with the result? How could she realize the possibilities of a "Petty's-eye" view?
Like tossing together a spring salad, she stirred in some oxygen (72% to be exact), a little hydrogen (13½ pounds if you weigh 150 pounds, and 10 pounds if you weigh 110 pounds), tossed in a handful of carbon (13½%), a few shots of nitrogen and calcium, plus a pinch of iron (4½ grams), a speck of iodine (20/1000 of a gram worth % of a mill) and a few other chemicals including sulphur.
It brings your ego down, when accused of having "water on the brain," to admit that you are $72\%$ water, and a trifle of that is likely to be on the brain. And $18\%$ of you is fat, some of which likely has gone to your head.
How can little girls be made of sugar and spice, and everything nice?

'Hydraulic' Leg May Be Answer To War Maimed
Berlin. (UP)—A new and revolutionary "hydraulic" leg, which American doctors believe will answer the prayers of thousands of legless war veterans the world over, is being tested in Germany today.
Even in the 'testing stage, the unique device is producing results never before achieved. During early experiments, war veterans with one leg completely missing have walked up and down stairs and steep inclines with such ease that a casual observer would never know the difference.
The leg itself is a simple yet intricate mechanism. The piston and cylinder of the device are contained in the calf of the leg. To the piston are connected the shafts which control the ankle and knee movements.
The new leg works on the hydraulic principle. It has been produced by American doctors, physicists, and physiologists working with German scientists at the United States air forces aero medical center in Heidelberg.
Since these two joints provide flexibility and must move freely, Dr. Henschke and Mauch faced the problem of controlling these movements. They finally decided that the leg's hydraulic mechanism would be controlled by means of a belt around the waist which contained a small rubber bladder.
It is the product of research by two young German scientists, Dr. Ulrich Henschke and Hans Mauch, who theorized that the ultimately perfect artificial limb would incorporate both medical and technological principles and should be put on a thoroughly scientific basis.
In normal walking, the action is nearly automatic. While walking up and down stairs, a slight expansion of the muscles causes the piston to close slightly, thus locking the motion in the required position.
Dr. Henschke pointed out that the abdominal muscles are among the body's strongest and are not used particularly in walking, although a sensibility is felt by the motion.
The ankle motion of the appliance reproduces normal action so closely that it is hardly noticeable. This control enables the waiver to balance on the artificial leg at a quarter knee bend.
With this new hydraulic limb, doctors believe there will be freedom of motion instead of unyielding rigidity.
13-Foot Sea Horse Found in Mexico
Acapulco, Mex. (UP) — Reports reached here today that a 13-foot long sea horse has been washed ashore at a beach near here.
Rosendo Batani, a local resident, went to the beach and came back verifying the reports.
"I saw the dead sea horse with my own eyes and it is every bit 13 feet long and six feet in diameter." he said. "I informed the National Historical Museum of the find and they will send men to dissect it."
The reported sea horse is the largest over seen in this vicinity. Most sea horses are less than eight inches long.
Night or Day? Coal Shortage Solyes This Problem
Washington. (UP)—The first scheduled night game of the American League season, which was to have been played between the Washington Senators and Cleveland Indians, was converted to a day contest because of the coal shortage.
President Clark Griffith of the Senators said that he had complied with a request of District of Columbia officials, who have instituted a "brown out" to conserve fuel, a measure made necessary because of the prolonged coal strike.

Midget Can't Make Choice Of Generosity, Muscles, Or Mustache
Portland, Ore. (UP)—Dottie Wenzel, the singing midget, had a full-sized problem today.
She's in love with an acrobat (midget).
She has a ring from a drummer (midget).
And a standard-model guy wants to marry her.
Dottie, who's 21 and weighs 37 pounds, took her problem to Henry Kramer—height five foot eight—manager of the midget troupe in which she stars.
She figured Kramer ought to know. He's been married to a three foot three midget for more than 10 years.
"A midget wife knows who's boss," Kramer told her. "Midget women never yowl for nylons. They get plenty because they can wear size eight which is much women can't. An midgets always have normal children.
"But women are always patting my wife on the head. Her hair-do bill is awful. I have to get all her shoes from a midget shoemaker in Chicago who's short of help. Takes six months.
"And I can't ever take my wife to the maze. Somebody's likely to sit on it."
"Honest, Dottie, I don't know."
"Tony Vendola's the generous one," she said. "He gave me the ring. Harry Klima's an acrobat—and daring. He's got glamor and muscles."
"But that full-sized man," she murmured, "he's got a curly black mustache."
She paused for a moment, weighing Tony's ring and Harry's muscles

Better Road Building Studied by K-State
Manhattan. (UP)—Kansas highways will last longer and require less upkeep as a result of a study of problems in concrete construction in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Western Missouri, Kansas State college has predicted. Research was completed with the cooperation of the Kansas Engineering Experiment station and cement manufacturers of those states.
A type of deterioration and disintegration has occurred in the region in concrete projects using so-called "sand gravel" aggregates. Concrete structures which contain sand and gravel from this area have a tendency to form cracks that shorten their lives, observations indicated.
The investigation sought to find the causes of deterioration and methods of overcoming it.
Charles H. Scholer, head of the department of applied mechanics, who administered the project, said complete results of the investigation had been released to manufacturers who aided in the research program.

By BILL SIMS
Jay hawker tracksters looked mighty good against the Missouri Tigers Friday in the dual meet at the stadium. If the Kansans can keep up the same pace in the Big Six meet Friday and Saturday at Lincoln, it will be a real battle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers for the title.
title.
Missouri was heavily favored in the track events in the dual meet, but Kansas showed surprising results in these races. The Jayhawker field strength came through as expected and piled up a quick lead over the Tigers.
Coach Ray Kanehl will take a much improved squad to Lincoln over the one which participated in the Big Six indoor meet in Kansas City. The Jayhawkers finished in fifth place in the indoor meet, but I believe they will take first or second place in the outdoor carnival.
out place if injuries this week don't hand-cap Kansas, the Crimson and Blue may surprise even the most optimistic fans with its performance on the Nebraska cinders. But it will be a battle all the way, and the Jayhawkers can't afford to let over-confidence creep into their systems.
***
If the Jayhawkers can capture the Big Six track and field championship, it will be the first Kansas has won since 1934. Glenn Cunningham was captain of the last Big Six track championship squad from Kansas, and he was one of the most heralded tracksters in the nation at the time.
The Jayhawkers took 10 firsts in the Big Six outdoor carnival that year, and Cunningham and Ed Hall accounted for six of them, each winning three events. Cunningham had not run in more than two races in any meet that year, but Coach Bill Hargiss entered him in three events that day. And Cunningham came through to win all three races.
It was Glenn's last year in the Big Six conference, and it was a fitting way to end his career in collegiate competition. He went on to become the outstanding miler of the time, and he may go down in track history as the greatest of them all.
Sidelights at the track meet. . . Charlie Black continues to amaze fans with his versatility. "The Hawk" went to the broad jump pit Friday and took one jump. It was good enough to take second place so Charlie went back to the discus event. . . Harold Hinchee, top Jayhawker half-miler, was handcapped by a bad knee. If it's in good shape at Lincoln, Hinchee will garner some points for the Kansas cause. . . Dexter Welton is one of the most improved performers on the squad. He was classed as the underdog in the hurdles in the O.U. and Missouri meets, but he broke the tape both times. Other hurdlers had better take notice. . . Karl Ebel scored an upset by taking second place in the discus. Black and Robison have had better throws consistently all season, but Ebel gave a fine performance Friday to win over both.

Williams displayed bruises which he said he collected from a crowd of young fans after the Red Sox' double victory over the Athletics at Philadelphia Sunday.
"I like the kids and I'll take their cheers anytime in place of boos but they had me worried." Williams said. "They crowded around and whacked me until they had me aching and I was lucky to have a big cop come along and rescue me."

K.U. Loses Two Games to Tigers
The Jayhawkers lost two close games to the Missouri baseballers, 5-4 and 7-5, Saturday at Columbia. The losses knocked the Crimson and Blue team into fourth place in Big Six standings.
Big Six starred Tom Tennill held the Tigers to seven hits in the first game, but they scored the winning run in the last half of the seventh inning. Missouri's Jack Morgan slugged out a double with John Feldman on base, and Feldmann's run broke the tie. Missouri scored four times in the first inning, but the Jayhawkers rallied to tie the game up in the fifth inning when they sent Missouri's starter, Wayne Feldman, to the showers.
It was practically the same story in the second game. Ray. Ocamb hurled for the Kansan, and the Tigers had another four-run first innning at his expense. Ocamb steadied after that, and pitched a tight game. The Jayhawkers tied the score at five-all in the fourth inning when Red Hogan slapped out a triple with the sacks loaded.
The Tigers filled the bases in the sixth with an error, a hot smash at third, and a bunt that went for a hit. Missouri scored the winning runs before Ocamb could regain his poise, and the Jayhawkers were held scoreless in the final frame.
The Kansans will seek revenge when they entertain the Tigers for a two-game series Friday and Saturday on the home diamond. This series will close the season for Kansas.
Netters Down M.U. To Move Near Title
The Jayhawker tennis team took an abbreviated match from the Missouri Tigers Friday, 1-0, to climb another rung closer to the top of the Big Six championship ladder.
Bob Groom downed Missouri's Ray McNally 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, in the only match played. Roy Shoaf and Rip Manning of Missouri were tied at 5-all in the third set of their match when a driving rain forced them to stop. Shoaf won the first set 9-7, but Manning came back to win the second by the same score. Manning had Shoaf down 4-0 in the third set, but the Jayhawker rallied to tie at 5-all.
The team plays its final match of the season against the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday at Lincoln. Kansas beat the Nebraskan 5-1 earlier this season on the home courts, and is favored to repeat its earlier success.

What We Need, Says Bankhead Is A Good 10-Cent Handkerchief
FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington. (UP)—Let us join Sen. John H. Bankhead of Alabama today in contemplating the pitiful case of J. P. Kellogg, who discovered when he started to sneeze in Memphis, Tenn., that he'd forgotten his handkerchief.
Kellogg is one of the leading cotton planters at Hughes, Ark. He'd dropped over to Memphis to sell his crop at 27 cents a pound. He was strolling down Beale street when $^{\textcircled{9}}$
the sneezed came upon, him. He reached in his pocket. No handkerchief. He ducked into a dry goods store. He bought a bandkerchief. Just him $1.
Sneezes, as you know, are peculiar things. Best cure is a shock. Kellogg was shocked, all right. He filled his new, unsneezed inanderkerchief to Senator Bankhead. The senator, as it happened, had a couple of OPA experts on his blue carpet, trying to bludgeon from them a simple explanation of their cotton pricing policies:
He whipped out Kellogg's handkerchief. Senators Theodore G. Bilboe of Miss, George D. Aiken of Vt, and Clyde R. Hoey of N.C., examined it carefully. So, did Goeffrey Baker and Gardner Ackley of the OPA.
"You will note that it is a good ten-cent handkerchief." Sen. Bank-head said. "It might even be a two-factor-a-quarter handkerchief. You also will note that it carries an OPA ceiling price tar of $1."
Senator Bankhead read aloud the letter which accompanied it. Planter Kellogg reported that he had placed his new handkerchief on the scales and that it weighed, including the price tag, half an ounce. This indictment was made $32 of handkerchiefs could be made from 27 cents worth of his cotton.
Planter Kellogg said he did not think this was right. "This OPA is kneeling the farmer over the head," he said. "The farmer's share of the $1 handkerchief is less than one cent. It seems to me that a group of incompetents up there in Washington is playing to the grand stand." Senator Bankhead stowed the handkerchief in his pocket for further reference. He asked the OPA kindly to explain it.
Ackley looked at Baker. Baker said he couldn't explain it. He said somebody seemed to have made a mistake. He said the Chamber of Horrors exhibit, wherein the National Association of Drygoodsmen displayed a room of cottongoods with cockeyed price tags, also showed some mistakes. He said the senators should not pick out the mistakes, but should look at what he called the broad, general picture of IPA's accomplishments.
Ackley, an earnest young man with gestures, obliged with a statement about escalator clauses, mean
averages, sample polls, wage-price relationships, time lags, world supply, speculative markets and other items which, I regret to say, meant little to me or the senator.
"I still don't understand it." Senator Bankhead said. "Can't you put it in words so a farmer can understand it?"
Ackley said he'd he'd. He did try.
So did Baker. Senator Bankhead was unimpressed. I'd tell you more, but I left. I had to go shopping for a handkerchief. It only cost 50 cents, or $16 per pound, but I still think Planter Kellogg's got an argument.
CIO Out to Get Million Members In Southern States
Director Van A. Bittner of the CIO southern organizing committee, speaking at an organization rally, said "we are going to organize all unorganized southern workers into the CIO to bring genuine collective bargaining that will in turn bring higher wages and higher living standards."
Atlanta. (UP) — CIO officials, launching their $1,000,000 southern organizing drive, said today the campaign was "economic, not political" and their only goal was to organize "at least a million southern workers as soon as we can."
He said "The only thing wrong with Bilbo is the type of medicine the voters feed him. They're his doctor. If the majority of citizens in Mississippi belonged to the CIO, Bilbo would be one of the greatest labor crusaders in the senate, because he'd be fed a different kind of medicine."
Bittner said the CIO was "not out to beat Senator Bilbo of Mississippi, or any other candidate."
The veteran labor leader praised Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia and said Georgia voters rendered a "great service to humanity" in electing him.
Bittner said "If we organize the workers, they'll solve their own political problems."

Hamilton Names University Food Drive Chairman
Co-chairmen of committees for the University food conservation drive were appointed at a meeting of the University promoting committee for food conservation Friday. Billie Marie Hamilton, who was elected chairman of the promoting committee, made the appointments.
Buford Tribble and Margaret Eberhardt are to head the publicity committee. Jeanne Ackley and Richard Pister are projects committee chairmen, Dorothy Hoover and Lois Thompson are convocation chairmen, and Edward Thompson and George Caldwell are chairmen of the correspondence committee. Co-chairmen will choose their own assistants.
Leslie Waters, economics professor, told the group that if food conservation is to succeed in the United States, the majority of its citizens must cooperate. He suggested that if food conservation is emphasized at the University, students can persuade citizens of their home communities to conserve food.
The committees plan to visit each organized house.
Love and marriage will be discussed and questions answered at a series of forums beginning this week, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and the W.Y.C.A., Arthur Partridge, chairman announced today.

'Yucca-Yucca' Earns $800 for Memorial
"Yucca, Yucca" may have no literal definition, but its presentation in Hoch auditorium Friday night meant an $800 boost for the memorial drive fund.
A syncopated history lecture by Herriot, who also served as master of ceremonies, accompanied by the rhythmical clapping of his "class," and the Bali boogie song and dance team of Betrand Morris and Carl Clark brought the greatest response from the audience.
The all-student variety show, directed by Terry Herriott and sponsored by the memorial drive committee, featured songs, dance, and comedy by University students.
The "Four Tense Men" quartet, featuring William Richardson, and the piano boogie of Norma Kennedy also held the spotlight.
Roderick Maclvor, Hunter Billings, Dessie Hunter, Loraine Mai, Violet Orloff, Georgia Lee West-moreland, Frank Harlow, Robert Glover, Charles Banfield, and Mary Jane Zollinger.
The show which has been performed at Oskaloosa, was taken to Winter General Hospital in Topeka Sunday, and will be given in Wichita Friday.

Coal miners returned to the nation's soft coal fields today to relieve sorely-pressed utilities and industries, but the refusal of some miners in Pennsylvania to go back to the pits clouded the two-week strike truce.
Miners Still Strike In Pennsylvania
(By United Press)
More than half of Pennsylvania's 100,000 miners failed to return to work today, and coal production was less than 50 per cent capacity in the Pittsburgh district and less than 25 per cent in Altoona.
In general, others of the 400,000 striking United Mine Workers returned to the pits to begin the two-week moratorium called by their president. John L. Lewis.
Their return was too late to avoid the general closing of Ford plants where 110,000 eventually will be affected. Chrysler also laid off 10,000 workers because of a parts shortage.
Another 10,000 were laid off at the Briggs body plant, and Packard faced a possible shutdown if Briggs is unable to supply needed parts.
As temporary peace returned to the coal mines, violence broke out in another labor dispute at West Hartford, Conn., where pickets clashed with police at the strike-bound Pratt and Whitney division of Niles-Bement-Pond company.
The threat of a nationwide railroad strike May 18 still stood. With a temporary solution of the coal crisis effected, observers were awaiting some indication from President Truman on whether he would seize the railroads. The strike date was set by engineers and trainmen of major roads.

(Daily Kansas Staff Writer)
The atomic bomb test scheduled for this summer on Bikini atoll may be known officially as "Operations Crossroads" but to four former K. U. students it might well be called "Operation Homeweek."
Three graduates of the University and the son of a former chancellor are included among the civilian newspapermen and photographers accredited by Joint Task Force One to cover the Bikini atom bomb tests.
Jerome Beatty, representing American magazine, was graduated from the department of journalism in 1908. For many years he was publicity director of the Famous Players-Lasky corporation and later held the same position with the Universal company. A world traveler and a leading free lance writer, Beatty has written for many leading magazines.
Representing the Columbia Broadcasting System at the tests will be Bill Downs, the first U. S. Radio correspondent to reach Berlin after Allied forces moved in. Downs won the right to parachute into the city by drawing lots with other broadcasting company; representatives. Downs majored in journalism at K. U. and was managing editor of the Daily Kansan in the fall of 1936. After he was graduated in 1937, he worked with United Press and later joined C.B.S. in London.
Ernest K. Lindley. Washington correspondent of Newsweek magazine, will represent that magazine at the tests. He is the son of the late Chancelor Ernest K. Lindley.
Lindley was graduated from Idaho university. He attended the K. U. graduate school in the fall of 1920, then went to Oxford university as Rhodes scholar. He started his newspaper career on the Wichita Beacon and in 1924 joined the staff of the New York World. Later he joined the New York Herald Tribune, but left that paper to become Washington correspondent of News-week.
Bert Brandt, '39, who gained international fame as a war photographer, will represent Aenea Newspictures. Brandt hitch-hiked across the English channel to get the first invasion pictures of it to London and Brand majored in English minored in journalism at the University.

Council To Hear Fraternity Charged With Illegal 'Spiking'
A hearing on a KU. fraternity which is charged with "spiking" a Lawrence youth before he has been graduated from high school will be held by the executive council of the Inter-Fraternity council tonight, the Daily Kansan learned today.
"Spiking" is a "mutual promise to pledge between fraternity and prospective member," and constitutes "informal pledging, fraternity leaders explained."
The fraternity involved is Phi Gamma Delta, and a preliminary hearing on its case was held at the Inter-Fraternity council meeting Monday night. The youth is Charles Steeper, leader of the Serenaders, a dance orchestra composed of Lawrence High school students.
"Spiking" apparently isn't specifically against any of the provisions of the Inter-Fraternity council constitution, which has been in force for five years. Some council members believed, however, that the practice may come under a clause penalizing any action "deterimental to the fraternal system." If found "guilty" of such a practice, the Phi Gams may be subject to a maximum penalty of a $50 fine and forfeiture of social privileges for as long as a year.
A spokesman for the fraternity said today the group had "no comment" to make until after tonight's hearing.
FCC Issues First Radiophone License
New York. (UP) — Radiophone service has become a reality in St. Louis, the American Telephone and Telegram company reported today. A motorist in that city may have a telephone installed in his car for $15 a month, plus $25 installation charge.
The Federal Communications commission has issued the first such "operating license" in the country to the Southwestern Bell telephone company, St. Louis.
Mobile radiophone equipment has been installed in St. Louis for some time, but the FCC's action in granting a license put it on a commercial basis for the first time.
The service is so new that hardly any vehicular subscribers exist.
As soon as they increase numbers will be assigned and published, a spokesman for the company said.
Three classes of vehicular service is offered:
One. A general two-way phone between any vehicle and any regular wire phone outlet, or another mobile unit.
Two. A two-way radio dispatch system between a customer's office and mobile units, such as trucks, buses or cabs.
Three. A one-way radio signaling service to comply with pre-arranged instructions.
Rates for a three-minute call over the system within the city limits will run between 30 and 40 cents.
A call from a vehicle is picked up at one of the city's five receiving points and transmitted to the customer with which connects the customer with a regular operator.
Radiophone facilities are operated on an experimental basis in 33 other cities, including Kansas City, Ft. Worth, Dallas, Houston, and Oklahoma City.
Committee Approves House Draft Changes
Truman Will Act If Senate Fails To Extend Law
Washington. (UP) — The senate military affairs committee voted unanimously today to accept house amendments to the draft act in an attempt to keep the measure alive after the midnight deadline.
The house amendments would ban the drafting of fathers and teen-age youths.
Senate acceptance of the amendments would avert expiration of the draft tonight and provide a 45-day extension until July 1.
Meanwhile the White House announced that President Truman will issue an executive order preserving the selective service machinery if congress fails to vote an extension.
Such an order could not authorize induction, but would preserve the administrative machinery of selective service for possible future use.
Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, Col., said that none of the committee members were entirely satisfied with the house amendments. However, Johnson added that they agreed to ask senate acceptance of the house provisions to "keep the system alive."
Favorable action by the senate on the house amendments would avert the need for a joint senate-house conference and send the extension measure to President Truman's desk for signature.
Asked if this included the possibility of a "talkathon" extending through the midnight deadline, Langer replied, "It's anyone's guess." Committee chairman Elbert Thomas, Utah, then took the committee proposal to the senate floor.
One possible stumbling block appeared to remain in the way of draft extension. Sen. William Langer, N.D., told reporters that he would talk on the proposal.
He served notice that before July 1 the senate will be called upon to act on the committee-approved one-year extension.
Sen. Warren R. Austin, Vt., told members that the senate "never has been in a worse dilemma," and that acceptance of the house restrictions appeared the only immediate solution.
House administration leaders said the two amendments adopted-by the house virtually killed effectiveness of the draft anyway. So many groups of men have been exempted from peace-time conscription that the teen-agers remain virtually the only profitable field for the draft boards.
The 45-day draft extension without any exemption for teen-agers would have caught 80,000 high school and college youths who have been deferred until the end of school terms this spring, selective service officials estimated.

Our Second Chance
One year ago this spring plans were begun for a campus peace conference to study closely the vital world issues that had to be solved to insure a lasting peace. This laudable project was aimed at giving University students a better understanding of the problems of peace and help to stimulate interest in international affairs.
It was postponed until fall. When the fall term arrived and the plan was revived, there was only a flicker of interest in the project, and it died as a result of that disappointing lack of interest.
But that conference was never held.
Now the student body has a chance to redeem itself for that dismal failure. A mock U.N. conference will be held Saturday in Hoch auditorium. The entire day will be devoted to a thorough discussion of the problems facing that international organization and the peoples of the world.
Such conferences are not new. Many colleges and universities have held them, and many of these conferences have become a real part of campus life, continuing throughout the school year. Kansas State college has already decided to continue its mock U.N. conference next fall.
Whether we like it or not, the United States must face the fact that its position in the world today places on its shoulders a tremendous responsibility. The future of world peace will be greatly influenced by our willingness and ability to meet that responsibility. We can ignore the problems of the world and invite world war III or we can recognize those problems and work diligently to solve them and thereby promote a lasting peace. The decision rests with every citizen.
But perhaps you think you know all there is to know about this complex and unsettled world. If you do, then you don't belong at the University. There are four men in Paris who can use you, or perhaps you would prefer to join these eleven diplomats at a semi-circular table in Hunter college in New York.
The groups sponsoring this conference have promised to exert every effort to present information of vital interest to all students. Various organizations have been designated to represent the member nations of the United Nations. But all this effort will be of no avail if the student body fails to give whole-hearted support.
Unless you're ready to present a formula for world peace to one of those two gatherings, your duty is to attend the University U.N. meeting Saturday.
This conference is for every student in the University, just as the problems of the world are vital to every student on the campus.
Saturday is the day to demonstrate that K.U. students have not forgotten the tremendous cost of the last war and that we are fully aware of the world calamity a third world war would mean.
It is your duty to spend next Saturday in Hoch auditorium.
To All Non-Voters:
Two months ago a poll was taken of student opinion concerning various campus problems. Eighty-three per cent of those polled said that K.U.'s student government did not have sufficient power and was not fulfilling its duties to the student body.
In the light of that poll, last week's election was a great disappointment. Less than one-half of the students went to the polls to cast their votes for next year's All-Student Council.
When Mortar Board and Sachem took their poll, 57 per cent of the students said that the University administration was at fault for the condition of student government. If this is so, it is easy to see one of the biggest reasons. Why should the A.S.C. be given any more power to serve the students when more than half of those students are too uninterested in student government to participate in its election?
If the A.S.C. has failed to fulfill its obligations to the students, we need go no further than the apathy of the students themselves to find a major reason. The student body has failed in its responsibility to the A.S.C.
We believe the A.S.C. has accomplished much in the past for the welfare of the student body. Whether it has accomplished enough, is problematical. But it has done enough to merit the support of the student body.
One of our political science professors often quotes the following axiom: "A people's government is only as good as the people deserve." The lack of interest in last week's election and the general passive interest throughout the year makes us wonder if K.U. students deserve any student government.
To those of you who did vote, we have no special praise, for you merely performed your democratic duty. To those of you who ignored the polls, we have nothing but sharp criticism. You have failed to demonstrate that you deserve the improvements and projects which you hypocritically expect the All-Student Council to carry out.

Three Seasons
(Spring—The Arrow)
This is the knowing from the depths of time;
This is the germ wherein all life has birth:
The wisdom of the endless-turning earth,
The magic which inspires the poet's rhyme—
And to this theme of every pantomime
Ever there come all men, of drought and dearth,
And while the gods look down in epic mirth,
Each touches heaven—far, far above the grime.
This the enchantress knew of, Lilith, fair
As sunrise, and deceitful as the flame
That plays about her glowing, gleaming hair;
This is the ecstasy that none can name,
A bondage old when even earth was new—
The light-held blossom which this instant grew.
(Summer—The Spell)
Had I not marked when first this scroll began,
This wondrous dream, this burning bush as bright
As blazoned sun in shadeless noonday light—
Had I not kept a record of its span,
And traced its thousand parallels in man
Back through the coiled-up years till mortal sight
Grew dim; and had I not embroidered night
With heart-warm dreams of how old stories ran—
Had I not thuswise learned that time repeats
Itself, and lovers loved as now we do
In Helen's time and Deidre's, and Eve's,
I should have claimed that these undreamed-of sweets
Were self-created, self-immortal, new,
And sworn to what my spirit yet believes.
(Autumn—The Scar)
Now is it strange indeed that I should lie Unmoving, in a frozen emptiness,
While yet the idle wind, with soft caress,
Tangles the hair of long-stemmed grass and rye;
Even before the harvest time is by,
My heart, its store ungarnered, shelterless,
Knows winter over-soon; upon it press
The memories of a spring that promised high.
Well—nothing lives forever, so they say,
And something more but lately have I learned—
That joys first treasured are with surfeit spurned,
That moons and stars must die at break of day,
And weariest lesson, that when summer's gone,
That wind-swept heart still wakes with every dawn

This Is Good, Oregon Congressman Decides As He Munches on Cast-Off Navy Food
Washington. (UP)—Rep. Walter Norblad, Oregon Republican, spurning a nevy warning that he would get dysentery, lunched in the house restaurant today on food salvaged from the navy's Astoria, Ore., garbage dump.
Norblad ate navy-stamped canned meat pork, dehydrated cranberries, and drank lemonade prepared fresh dehydrated lemon juice
“This is just a sample,” he said, “but it was all I could get in my suitcase. I could have brought a lot of things.”
"It's a lie. I think it's better food than you get in the house restaurant."
Asked about the navy's dysentery warning, Norblad said:
Norblad, a freshman house member and World War II army veteran, offered to share the food with other house members and newspaper reporters. All preferred to stick to the restaurant fare of diced beef goulash.
The navy said that people in Astoria who ate the discarded food got dysentery.
Norblad said the navy had thrown on the dump canned foods of all kinds, cereals, paint, new paint brushes, brass fire nozzles, cartons of toilet paper, powdered soap, and other articles.

Missionaries Wail When Buying Army Surplus In India
By FREDERICK C. OTTRMAN.
(United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington. (UP)—All's well the ends well, I guess, but what he pens to a missionary when he be a horse from his own government is enough to make even a man God grit his teeth.
My story is one of those fantasies involving our government things it would prefer, to forget, you are a contributor to you church's foreign missions, you'll interested:
When the war ended, the army announced that it had $480,000,000 worth of surplus in India. I said later that the figure would have to be revised upwards to perha $500,000,000. American missionary operating schools, churches, hospitals and model farms through vast Indian nation looked covetous, upon it.
The medicines, the X-ray machines, the ambulances, and the out clothes could do wonders to help the Indians, the dominies decided. They formed a kind of purchasing organization known as the joint. Protestant - Catholic commission, to see if they could do some business
They discovered that the Foreigre Liquidation commission wanted them to pay the full wholesale price for medical material and to add 25 per cent for the freight bill from India to India. Then, to their amazement, the Indian government insisted on a 30 to 60 per cent duty charge.
He said he tried to buy a $4,000 X-ray machine, but his own government wanted $5,000. He needed a $251 microscope, but the FLC demanded another $51 for freight
"So it is," wrote one of the dazed missionaries, "that British firms can sell the same kind of new material; to us in India, but at a lower price with lower freight rates and lesser duties."
Another missionary wrote that the material was not guaranteed as added: "purchase of surplus in India is a very risky business," mentioned the hiring of coolies by the army to tear up mosquito nets and tarpaulins; he said could not understand this.
More in sorrow than in anger he added that sometimes the missionaries weren't even allowed inside army camps to inspect the goods for sale. Neither did this make sent to him.
Sen. James M. Mead, N.Y., chairman of the War Investigating committee, demanded that the state department give the missionaries a break. The FLC announced soon thereafter that it would allow them a 40 per cent discount. Our government simultaneously entered into an agreement to sell all its 'surpluses' to the Indian government. The missionaries didn't get to buy much stuff at a price, but still indicated they were grateful.
The Catholics got $423,362.35 worth of material, some of which was salvage, for $142,823.70. This included seven horses worth $295.75 to the army, which they bought for $369.67. They also bought thousands of shirts, pants, and bed sheets, which had cost the government $34,268, which were worn out insofar as the army was concerned, and for which they paid $190.67.
A commission from the Indian government is now in Washington, negotiating the price for all the surplus in India. This is a hush-hush operation, for reasons unknown to me, but apparently it will be a bargain. Terms include provision for the American missionaries to buy from India the American supplies they need to help the Indians. Presumably then they will not have to pay import duties.
I saw no list of supplies sold to the Protestants, but they made a similar deal. They mentioned 50,000 aided clothes they got for five cents each which they said were valuable to them, no matter what the army felt.

Two students, showing off the
muspus, were non-plussed when one
their guests asked whose names
The 10 names actually represent en- who have contributed directly the progress of the type of medial service provided for college students: general medicine with emphasis on prevention of illness.
Hippocrates-established medicine por: a sound case analysis basis. tany of his aphorisms are as true day as when he wrote them in the th-century B.C. For example: "Persons who are naturally fat are apt to ie earlier than those who are slender."
Memorial Hospital, carved in e stone. After only a moment of sitation, one replied that those are the names of the donors of e building.
A half century later Galen, anther Greek physician, developed natomy to the point where he was caching by dissection, of pigs rather am humans.
Theories of the physiology of body fluids were extremely hazy until the early 17th century when William Harvey, English physician, demonstrated the circulation of the blood in a closed system of arteries and veins.
Ambroise Pare, French army surgeon, advanced surgery by using the feature to control bleeding.
In the 1800's Joseph Lister, English surgeon, introduced aesic surgery (not Listerine), but until the days of Crawford Long, Georgia dentist, surgery was done without ceft of anesthesia. Long observed characters in this biography in *ether*, help them escape an illness, and so he tried the method on one of his patients, thus reducing ether anesthesia and an aesic argument as to whom thedit goes.
In preventive medicine, Rhazes, ersian physician, described measles and smallpox in the 1st century. When Edward Jenner, English physican, successfully produced immunity to smallpox by inoculating his patient with cowpox he did not now the basis for his accomplishment, but only that it worked.
Louis Pasteur, French chemist, in the 19th century laid the foundation for preventive medicine. In studies on fermentation of wine he earned how to sterilize liquids, and his process is used today in medicine and in pasteurization of milk. And as all movie goers know, he enveloped vaccine.
Last is Sir William Osler, Candian born but active in the United States and England as well. Until his death in 1919 he was the outstanding modern teacher and clinician.
Perhaps the student was not far wrong; those are the men who we us, if not the hospital, modern dineie.
Car, Train Crash Fatal To Ellinwood Woman
Ellinwood, (UP)—The second fatal rode-crossing accident in West central Kansas in two days Thursday cost the life of Mrs. John Richardson. 22; wife of a recently discharged veteran.
She was killed instantly when she drove her car onto the Santa Fe rails ahead of a passenger train. Highway Patrolman Jim Geisendorf did she was driving alone four miles southeast of here on a country road.
A similar accident occurred earlier in the week near Fowler when Rock Island passenger train struck truck, killing its only occupant.

Hume, Gibson Speak At Library Meeting
The northwestern division of the Kansas Library association held an all-day meeting at the Union Friday.
A panel discussion "What do I expect of the Public library" was held in the morning.
In the afternoon Dr. David Hume, assistant professor of chemistry, discussed the development of the atomic bomb. Dr. Hume worked on the bomb project at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science, spoke on the social implications of the atomic bomb.
Library trustees met in the Pine room of the Union in the afternoon. Mrs. J. D. Colt, president of the Kansas Library trustees, and Mrs. Harry Umburger, secretary - treasurer, lead a discussion on the general problems of libraries.
University To Offer Third Fire Course
The third annual short course in "Fire, Casualty, and Marine Insurance" will be offered at the University June 25, 26, and 27 sponsored by the extension division and the Kansas association of insurance agents.
The three day program will be arranged so that whether the student is connected with a large city agency or a one-man agency, he can apply_what he learns in the course to his particular locality. Registrations will be in the Union building June 25.
Sociologists to Topeka
Twenty-three University women, upper-class sociology majors, visited the state boys industrial school at Topeka Friday to entertain the 15- and 16-year-old boys there as one of their sociology projects. They have visited the industrial school several times this year, Miss Esther Twente, sociology professor, said today.

Since 1873, Grateful Seniors Have Given $50,000 in Gifts
Since 1873, seniors have been grateful for graduation and have given the University about $50,000 in senior class gifts.
In the beginning, classes were small and so were their gifts. "The Temple of Karnak", an engraving, was presented by the class of 1873. Classes of '74 and '75 also gave engravings. The class of '90 left "several gifts" of rare books.
In 1894, the seniors started a "loan fund" with $324.50. Succeeding classes up to 1901, and the classes of 1910, '16, '17, and '26 added to this fund, with amounts ranging from $13.25 in 1910 to $500 in 1926.
Among other earlier class gifts were bird baths, '03; stone bench on the campus,'14; Seth Thomas clock in the library,'18; and the base for the Pioneer statue,'20.
In the 1920's, gift amounts rose from several hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars from each class. The climax was reached in 1930, when the senior class gave $3000 to play for the service elevator in the Union, and purchased an insurance policy on the life of its president. The policy will provide $2500 at the 25th anniversary of the class.
During the late '20's and throughout the '30's, the senior classes centered their giving on "Union" needs—leaving money for the building of the the Pine room ('36), the English room ('38), and the Kansas room ('39). The class of '28 bought furniture for the Union and the class of '29 bought a piano for the Union ballroom. The seniors of '41 gave $1500 for the new wing of the Union
The class of 1940 gave $1500 "to help on the men's dormitories." The seniors of '42 were deliberate in their giving. They spent $1054.50 for U.S. defense bonds; the reunion group attending commencement in 1952, the maturity class of the bonds, will choose the class gift.
The recreational area around Potter lake was a gift of '43, the flagstone walk at the dance pavilion a gift of '44, and the crabapple trees a gift of '45.
The present senior class, with its proposed archway to the Memorial Drive, holds the "gateway" to all of these gifts. It has been suggested that they make this archway a real memorial by placing the names of their class members who were killed in war on a plaque on the gate
These are: Dean Broyles, Belleville; Alvin Carsten, Stockton; James Ferguson, McPherson; Charles Kelley, Hutchinson; Johnny Musselman, Iowa; James Richardson, Lawrence; John Stran, Rockford, Ill.; Harold Waldecker, Hutchinson; James Zoellner, Tonganoxie; Lt. Morel Dunham, Kansas City, Mo.; and James Loveless, Topeka.
Monkeyshines Stop New York Traffic
New York. (UP)—Monkeys—best guesses ranged from 40 to 70 of them—took over in a block-square area of lower Manhattan today after escaping from a pet shop.
They stopped traffic at busy Church and Fulton streets, drew huge crowds of onlookers, and caused storekeepers to lock their doors and windows and call for police and firemen.
The monkeyshines started when the animals escaped from boxes at a pet shop, went out a fifth floor window and scattered over the roofs. Some got to the street, others into nearby buildings.
Two of them scampered into the Trinity Mission house just as a boy's choir was starting to practice. The music stopped. Twenty-five boys laid down their hymn books and took up the chase. They got the two—in bags.

Lawyers To Attend K.U. Alumni Reunion
University alumni attending the State Bar meeting in Wichita will be guests at a K.U. reunion lunch-con, May 24, in the Lassen hotel. Approximately 200 alumni will attend the gathering.

Start Rationing, K.U. Group Asks
The University food conservation committee voted unanimously to send a letter to government officials requesting the adoption of rationing again at their meeting in the Union last night. Committee members were appointed co-chairmen of publicity, convocation, correspondence, and project committees at a meeting last Friday and have begun working with assistants to plan the University food drive.
Dorothy Park, Fine Arts freshman, was appointed secretary of the food conservation committee by Billie Marie Hamilton, chairman.
35th Division Plans 1947 Missouri Reunion
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The 35th Division Organizing committee announced Monday that a divisional reunion would be held in Kansas City, June 5, 6, and 7, 1947, commemorating the division's activities in the invasion of Europe two years ago.
Col. Mahalon S. Weed, president of the World War I 35th Division association said President Truman and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, along with other military personnel from Allied countries, would attend the three-day reunion.
The 35th division, which was organized from units of the Kansas and Missouri national guard in the spring of 1917, has about 150,000 members who served with the division in World War I and II and in the national guard during the interim period.
At a meeting in Topeka Sunday, officials named Maj. Gen. Ralph Truman, cousin of the president, as reunion chairman.
President Truman was a captain in the field artillery of the 35th division during World War II and was a member of the 35th division association, Colonel Weed, said.

University Band In Peace Pipe Pageant; 1,000 To Honor Indian War Veterans
The University band will play with the Haskell band at the "Pageant of the Peace Pipe" May 20 at Haskell institute, Russell L. Wiley, band director, announced today.
A cast of 1,000 will take part in the pageant in honor of the American Indians who served in World War II
The bands will combine to form one band of about 150 pieces, Mr. Wiley said. Indian, marshal, patriotic, folk dance, and some descriptive music will be played, he said. The mass band will be under the direction of Mr. Wiley and Bill Cato. Indian director of Haskell band.
Members of the Hilltop Riding club of Lawrence, and other riders from Lawrence, Baldwin, and Lone
Fifty Haskell students in full Indian costume were to parade down Massachusetts street from the court house to the Wren building at 1 p.m. today if the weather permitted. The costumes will include doekin, garments, feathered headresses, and ornaments of actual tribal dress
Star will take part in the pageant.

Physical Therapy Clinic (Exercise Instead Of Pills) Opens at Watkins Hospital Today
Fifteen minutes of exercise and liberal portions of heat and water instead of pills and capsules may be the doctor's prescription if you go to the physical therapy clinic which opens in Watkins Memorial hospital today.
The new clinic is in the west wing of the hospital basement, in space formerly used as an overflow ward and classroom. The clinic has seven treatment booths, a reception room, and ample storage space for equipment.
Miss Lilyan G. Warner, physical therapist on the health center staff, is to be in charge of the clinic. Miss Warner is an instructor in physical therapy and faculty advisor to physical therapy students here. She joined the student health center staff this semester.
As an added service to students,
Dr. Gordon M. Martin, assistant professor of physical medicine and director of physical medicine at the University of Kansas hospitals, will be in the clinic an afternoon a week for physical therapy consultations.
Dr. Martin is consultant in physical therapy on the Student Health Service staff.
Only in the past decade has physical therapy been included in medical curriculum, but now the medical world realizes the importance of physical medicine as a profession, hospital doctors commented today.
Physical therapy is "that branch of medical science which uses physical measures in the treatment of injuries and diseases." Such agents as light, heat, electricity, water,'massage, and exercise are used, instead of pills.
Physical therapy won recognition as a profession in World War I and rapidly expanded during World War II. It played a vital role in the physical rehabilitation of wounded, injured, and crippled patients. During the war in military hospitals, physical therapy was prescribed for about 50 per cent of the patients. In civilian hospitals where physical treatment was available about 10 per cent of the patients received this treatment.
With physical therapy, patients may be effectively treated for fractures. sprains, strains, some skin diseases, postural abnormalities, arthritic conditions and muscle and nerve injuries.
KUJ is one of five midwestern schools accredited to train physical therapists. A total of 21 schools in the country is accredited by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical association to offer this training.
Physical therapy treatment was given by nurses before Miss Warner joined the staff. One 11 by 13 foot
room with two booths and a small office were the only facilities. Equipment included one ultra violet lamp, one diathermy (deep heat machine), and six infra-red lamps.
Equipment in the newly-opened clinic is valued at $3,000. It includes two ultra-violet lamps, a ceiling model salarium, a local stand lamp, six bakers for heat treatment, one low voltage generator for testing of muscles and exercising of muscles with injured nerve supplies, and two whirlpools.
The clinic will be open to private non-student patients as well as to students.
New Concert Dates For Band, Orchestra
The date for the spring band concert to be held in Hoch auditorium has been changed from May 20 to May 27, and for the orchestra, from May 27 to June 2, Russell L. Wiley, director, announced today.
"This is the finest band I've had since the bands of pre-war days, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to present it to the public on May 27." Mr. Wilev said.
This change was necessary so the band could take part in the "Pageant of the Peace Pipe" at Haskell institute, he added.
Featured soloists for the concerts will be Leo Horacek, cornetist; Marshall Butler, pianist; and William Sears, baton twirler. The concert will include "Seigiefd's Rhine Journey" (Wagner), "American Rhapsody" (Wood), the first movement from the "Symphony in B-flat." (Fouchet), and "Choral March and Fugue" (Gullman), he said.
Liberal Arts Lack Practical Application Eldridge Writes
Preparation for citizenship by means of books, lectures, discussions, examinations and term papers is about as absurd as learning to swim by correspondence, Prof. Seba Eldridge of the sociology department declared in a recent article written on the shortcomings of the liberal arts colleges.
Professor Eldridge's article, "The Liberal Arts Colleges—A Diagnosis of Its Shortcomings," appears in the Journal of Higher Education.
A defect of the liberal arts college, according to Eldridge, is the emphasis placed on rote learning of lecture and reading material, and the lack of actual application of the material to life situations.
all their students meant to be sociologists," he says. "What the students need in sociological principles is a thorough grounding in community work."
He accuses instructors of teaching subjects which interest them as professionals, although few students intend to major in their particular
Sociologists commonly teach as if field.
Professor Eldridge claims also that the typical liberal arts college does not acquaint its students with the problems and responsibilities of life that face them after graduation. The work required of a student lacks purpose and direction.
The third great shortcoming of colleges is that they fail to deal with the students as individuals, he says. He deplores that many go through four years of college without being well-known to instructors or administrators. Guidance of the student in his education depends on learning the student's capacities, limitations, and needs, Professor Eldridge declared.
Menninger Board To Continue Clinic
Topcka. (UP)—Spokesmen for the newly-created Mennenger Foundation, set up to operate the internationally-known Mennenger clinic and sanitarium here on a non-profit basis, said today that the institution would continue to accept patients on a nationwide basis.
They emphasized that it would not become a "charity" hospital and that charges would continue for care of patients, with funds going to the non-profit foundation for expenses of operation, research and 'educational work in psychiatry.
The foundation's educational program will be directed toward training psychiatrists for nationwide service, they said.
Dr. Karl Menninger, who founded the institution with his father more than 20 years ago, announced this week that he and his brother, Brig. Gen. William C. Menninger of the Surgeon General's office of the U.S. army, had turned over the establishment to the foundation.
Assets estimated at $500,000 comprised an outright gift from the Menninger family and other stockholders in the sanitarium corporation, except for a few shares held by outsiders and purchased by the foundation.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
Bv BILL SIMS
Tom Scofield, the Jayhawkers ace high jumper, holds the highest mark in that event this season, according to statistics just released by the Minnesota university sports publicist. The data was compiled for the annual N.C.A.A. track and field meet which will be held June 21 and 22 at Minneapolis.
Scoffield and Ken Wiesner of Marquette share the top mark of 6 feet, 6 inches for the season. Scoffield has a chance to break the tie at the Big Six outdoor carnival Saturday. He almost cleared 6 feet, $8\frac{1}{4}$ inches at the Kansas Relays, but his hand knocked the bar off after his body had cleared it.
Scofield uses an unorthodox combination of the western-roll and the belly-roll to scale the heights, but it pays off and that's what counts.
Tom is favored to win the Big Six crown, but he will have to have a good mark to do so. His chief competition probably will come from Iowa State's Dwayne Feekin, who won the indoor crown by beating Scofield. Tom evened things up by defeating Feekin at the Kansas Rellays, and he is out to recapture the title he shared in 1944.
Coach Ray Kanehl has come up with another fine performer in the person of Wallace Desterhaft, a navy trainee. Desterhaft runs the 440-yard dash and also runs on the mile relay team. He made his first appearance before the home crowd in the dual meet with Missouri Friday, and he took second place in the 440-yard run.
Desterhaft transferred to Kansas from Purdue in the navy unit, and he was one of the top performers for Purdue.
He has been bothered by bad feet this season, and he has participated only in the dual meets with Kansas State and Missouri, taking second place in both meets in the 440.
His addition, gives Kanehli two capable performers for this event at the Big Six meet. Johnny Jackson has not been defeated in this race this season, and he is favored to take the event at Lincoln. If Desterhaft isn't handicapped by his feet, he will give Jackson a battle for top honors. Kansas may finish first and second in this event, and it would be a big boost to the Jayhawkers' title aspirations.
Roy Shoaf has lost only one set in match play this season against the best players the other schools could offer.
Sidelights on the tennis team—Bob "Bitsy" Barnes plays a fine game even though he has been bothered by a bad shoulder. He was shot in the right shoulder with a rifle bullet while he was serving with the 42nd Division in Europe, but he has come back to gain one of the spots on the varsity tennis team.
The tennis team averages 6 feet, one inch, even though Barnes is only 5 feet, 7 inches . . . You can always tell when Bob Groom is behind in a game. He starts talking to himself. He just keeps repeating "Oh, red HOT."
Azerbaijan Break May Cause Civil War
Tehran. (UP)—Negotiations between the Tehran and Azerbaijan governments collapsed today and the visiting delegation left for Tabriz.
Jaafar Pishevary, leader of Azerbaijan, and his colleagues silently boarded a Russian plane and departed for Tabriz without signing the agreement with which Premier Ahmed Ghavam had sought to avert the threat of civil war.
(Editors note—There are two Azerbaijans listed in the world's news. One is a province in the northwest corner of Iran and its capital is Tabriz. The other is a republic in the southeast corner of the U.S.S.R. and its capital is Baku. The one referred to in this story is located in Iran.)
Final Golf Match Today With Nebraska
Coach William Shannon's Jayhawkier linksmen were to play their last match of the season today against the Cornhuskers at Lincoln, Neb. The Jayhawkers swamped the Cornhuskers in the first match 17 to 1.
PT-7, ATO's Win In IM Games
Jack Hines, Bill Winey, Phil Wade, and Peter MacDonald were to represent Kansas in the Big Six golf finale.
Carruth, PT-7, Old Timer's, Alpha Tau Omega, and Phi Gamma Delta added another mark to their win column by defeating their opponents Monday on the intramural softball fields.
Carruth held a one-run advantage in a high scoring game played with Battenfield. Runs were scored by both teams in every inning, but Carruth was able to maintain a one run lead to win 16-15.
The game between PT-7 and PT-9 was a walk-away for the former team. The final score was 7-1 in favor of PT-7. The advantage in the game was taken by PT-7 early in the game, never being seriously molested.
The Old Timers and Ships company battled out a seven inning game that fell to the Old Timers by a score of 4-3. The one run advantage which took the game was constantly threatened by the navy men, but they couldn't fill in the gap between the scores.
Phi Gamma Delta and Delta Tau Delta battled through eight innings of play with the score tied at the end of all but one inning. The Phi Gams were able to stage an eighth inning rally to break a 6-6 deadlock and win the game 7-6.
Alpha Tau Omega shut out the Phi Kappa's 7-0 behind the fourhit pitching of Bill Holloway and Frank Palmer.
The ATO's forged into a two-run lead in the second inning, and clinched the game with a four-run attack in the first half of the seventh, when Fred Coulson's double with the bases loaded drove in three runs. The Phl Kappa's threatened to ruin the shut out twice, but tight fielding staved off their attempts.
Babe Ruth Will Meet Mexican Officials
Ruth is accepting the invitation Bernard Pasquel, vice-president of the league, to "visit" Mexico. The one-time "Sultan of Swat" will be accompanied by his wife; his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Flanders, and Rud Rennie, sports-writer for the New York Herald-Tribune.

Quiet Beauty, Sanctity of Danforth Chapel Inspire Student Weddings, Special Services
"It's like a new baby in a family."
Sam Elliott, custodian, says of Danforth memorial chapel. "Everybody wants to do something for it."
-
In addition to weddings, several organizations have used the chapel for special services. The Y.W.C.A. conducted an Easter service there on April 16, and the Music Appreciation club held a Lenten service in the chapel.
Mr. Elliott, or "Sam" as he is known to his friends on the campus, visits the chapel three or four times a day, running the vacuum over the carpets, dusting the pews, and "cleaning up."
Mrs. Donald Brodie, wife of the pharmacy professor, plays the organ for an hour daily from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m., and on Thursday nights the Christian Science student group meets for devotionals in the chapel. University High school will have a baccalaureate service there June 2.
Several couples have said "I do" before the altar in the chapel. The first service there was a wedding March 20, just after the carpets had been put down and two weeks before the chapel's dedication. More ceremonies are planned, two of them on Commencement day and two on June 18.
"I like to sweep the sidewalk or pick up a cigaret butt or do anything to keep it as lovely as it was intended to be," Sam remarked. "The chapel is open day and night, but most of the time I stay away and leave people alone. That's the way they want to be—to meditate or pray."
O
At 7 p.m. Sunday the Newman club, an organization of University Catholic students, will present a living rosary and candle-light coronation of the Virgin Mary in the quiet beauty and sanctity of the chapel.
"Many more are using the chapel than we ever dreamed would—the chancellor, the men who built the chapel, and myself," Sam beams proudly and happily.
'No Need to Worry,' Gandhi Tells Indians
London. (UP) — Mohandas K.
Gandhi was quoted by the New
Delhi radio today as saying there
was "no need to worry" about the
new breakdown in negotiations for
India's independence.
Washington, (UP)—The joint Canadian-American Muskox 81-day expedition to the Arctic proved that military forces can operate above the Arctic circle, American military observers said today.
The broadcast said Gandhi warned a town meeting against believing the British mission had done nothing to help the situation.
The health of the 50 men who made the trip was "slightly improved" at the end of the trip over what it was at the start, an army medical observer said.
The tractor-propelled snowmobiles used in the expedition carried the party over the Arctic wastes without serious breakdown. The snowmobiles received gasoline dropped from American army planes guided to the party by radar and loran systems of navigation.

We're hypocritical about the good fit of the clothing we sell—whether you pay our lowest or top quality price. And whether you're short and lean or short and squat: tall and thin or tall and fat our fitting will improve on nature!

Student Groups Hold Mock UN Conference Saturday
Plans Started More Than A Year Ago Materialize After Much Controversy
The question marks after countries are larger this year, but the peace conference that has had a long and controversial career will materialize here Safurday when student delegates make Hoch auditorium their Hunter college.
This conference has no connection with the ones planned last year, Donald Ong, committee chairman emphasized.
Plans were started a year ago April by the Student Religious council for a two-day student world security assembly to be sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., the American United groups, Forums board. and the administration.
This spring conference was postponed until fall, as the committee felt that plans could be more adequately prepared and sponsored later.
Plans for the conference were born again in a burst of enthusiasm in the fall. Each organized house was to fly the flag of the country it represented. Foreign students were invited to sit with the delegates representing their respective countries.
This, too, died quietly upon recommendation of the committee chairman that the Forums board and two members of the conference committee formulate a project to replace the one scheduled.
A series of discussion groups in faculty homes was substituted by Forums board this year, and John Ise, professor of economics, opened the first and only public discussion with his speech, "The Fundamental Requisites of World Peace," at the home of Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The mock UN conference to be held Saturday is being sponsored by the International Relations club; Forensic league; alpha Phi Omega, national service society; Pi Sigma Alpha, national political science society; and Delta Sigma Rho, national debating society.
These groups set up an executive committee to organize the campus conference when the idea grew out of an International Relations club convention held at Emporia recently, Qag said.
Members of the committee are Ong, chairman; Shirley Wills, secretary; Virginia Neal and Richard Hawkinson, International Relations club; Orville Roberts, Pi Stigma Alpha; Jean Moore, Delta Sigma Rho; Charles Crowley, Alpha Phi Omega; Buford Tribleb, Forensic league; and H.

Miners Return to Work After Coal 'Truce'
(?)
Monday saw the beginning of a "truce" in the soft coal strike, and miners went back all over the country. The scene here shows them loading a car in the O'Kay mines, Marissa, Ill. Mine operators have agreed to a
demand by John L Lewis for the United Mine Workers on three million dollars in back pay, but balked at a new Lewis request for 70 million more in payroll checkoffs.
Now You Know-It's Those 'Dead Areas' In Hoch That Bore You, Not the Speaker
"I can't hear a thing!" a girl sitting under the balcony during a recent convocation in Hoch auditorium complained.
"Maybe you could if you'd keep still," answered a neighbor who was trying to hear the speaker.
But the girl's trouble didn't come from talking too much. She just happened to be sitting in one of the "dead" seats in the auditorium. Sound waves refract from the walls of the auditorium, bouncing back to the ears of the attenders. Sometimes, these waves meet at one point, making "dead" areas such as the one in which this girl was sitting.
However, the planning of the inside of the auditorium and the type
Signs of Spring: Studying . . . or Something
of sound absorbing material used in the walls has cut down to a minimum the dead areas in the room.
The big blue amphifier which hangs above the orchestra pit in the auditorium also is an aid to the audience. In use for over six years, it has been kept in constant repair by the building and grounds department.
B. S. R. JOHNSON, INC.
During each convocation, a special monitor makes a "hearing" trip around the auditorium to determine whether or not the amplifier is pitched too high or too low, or whether the volume is good for the size of audience.
You know it's spring when happy couples get together on the University lawn to study . . . or something. Shown here are Mary Margaret Huse, College
freshman from Tulsa, Okla., and Ross Baker, also a College freshman from Peabody. (Daily Kansan photo by Ralph Andrea.)
"We could blast them right out of their seats," C. G. Bayles, super-intendent of buildings and grounds, stated, "or we could pitch the amplifier so low everyone would have to strain to hear what was going on."
Luckily for the audience, this doesn't happen. A pilot circuit, operated behind stage, prevents or remedies disorders of this kind.The monitor who makes the rounds of the auditorium to check the sound, carries with him a telephone. Whenever, he discovers an area in which the waves are pitched too high or low, he phones the pilot circuit, and the volume is increased or decreased accordingly.
So if you happen to be one of the persons who "can't hear a thing," don't complain. Just change seats, if there are any empty seats left.
Campus Raises $2,672 In Memorial Drive
A total of $2,672 from pledges, cash, and "Yucca Yucca" has been collected toward the $10,000 campus goal for the K.U. war memorial, financial chairman, reported this morning.
Ten organized houses have not turned in their contributions yet, Higdon said. The committee plans to keep the drive open and to try to teach unorganized students, he added.
Pharmacist to Meet Tonight
The first meeting of the University student branch of the American Pharmaceutical association will be held at 7:45 p.m. today in 305 Boiley Chemical laboratories, Donald Brodie pharmacy professor, announced today. About 20 out of town guests are expected at the meeting, Professor Brodie added.
Supersonic Planes To Fly Experimentally in 7 Months
Langley Field, Va. (UP) - Within seven months supersonic planes, built to exceed the speed of sound -750 mil es an hour, probably will be flown experimentally.
Well-informed sources made the disclosure during the first public inspection of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics laboratories since the war started.
If you do, you are one of the few college students who have such knowledge, according to J. Sheldon Carey, professor of ceramics, in a recent article in the Bulletin of the American Ceramics Society.
Do you know that glaze is not colored paint, or that show-card colors are not used for painting paitery and figures?
"Ceramics is more than the dabbling with a handful of clay, yet how many persons realize this?" Professor Carey asks. He maintains that teachers and students have not reached fundamentals in their study of art.
Ceramics Is Not Just Dabbling
This educational thought is directed toward the man in the street "who need not be an artist, but who must be given the opportunity to see, choose, and appreciate the beauty around him. The boy of today is the man in the street tomorrow and all efforts in ceramic education will be built toward and for him for complete success," Professor Carey explains.
The coming need for a more universal form of self expression is leading toward the development of a curriculum which will include ceramic art as a vital part of the educational program, he says.
Clay is an inexpensive medium with which a child can create, train his mind and muscles, and acquire sensitiveness in seeing the things around him. He has something tangible to work with and excel in as well as enjoying the feel of the clay. Clay provides a basis of thinking and creative together.
The inability of teachers and lack of enthusiasm for ceramic art has held back its growth in the modern school system, Professor Carey asserts.
If the individual is given the opportunity to approach ceramic art from a beneficial and appreciative standpoint, Professor Carey believes it will not be long before he will demand from the manufacturer different products with a greater variety.

Tokyo. (UP) — Soviet Russia's delegate to the four-power control council was informed today by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's personal representative that the United States does not favor communism—either at home or in Japan.
Communists Cut Manchurian Railroad
Mukden. (UP)—A force of 10,000 to 20,000 communist troops was reported today to have cut the Tientsin-sin-Mukden railroad — lifeline of nationalist forces in Manchuria— at two points outside the great wall northeast of Shanghaikwan.
The report came as semi-official Russian sources disclosed that Soviet troops have completely withdrawn from Manchuria, except for Port Arthur where they remain under terms of the Russo-Chinese treaty.
New York. (UP)—Russia is expected to end her boycott of the United Nations security council, at least temporarily, tomorrow when the 11-member council meets to discuss procedural rules proposed by its committee of experts.

A.S.C. To Give $500 To Aid Foreign Students
A $500 appropriation for foreign student scholarships was approved by the All Student Council in a meeting last night.
Carolyn Nigg, chairman of the foreign student scholarship committee, told members that K.U. has a proportionally lower number of foreign students than most universities, due to the failure of the state legislature to waive fees and to a lack of scholarships.
The proposed fund would aid students from China, and the Eastern European countries, as it is believed that the economic need there is greater than in Latin and South America.
Franzena Jackson, Negro representative to the council, recommended that the A.S.C. take action on Negro housing problems. She reported that before the Union cafeteria was opened Sundays, Negro women were forced to eat from cans, if they failed to make other provisions for weekend eating, and that their expenses were higher in comparison to students because of the necessity of eating out so often.
Miss Jackson, Mary Zollinger, George Caldwell and Emily Hollis were appointed to recommend to the administration that it take action for better Negro housing.
The council approved a request by George Caldwell that Prof. W. W. Davis, K. U. representative at the Big-Six athletic conference Friday and Saturday, initiate a motion at the meeting to abolish racial discrimination in the Big-Six conference.
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs; Leslie Waters, economics professor, and Wendell Nickell, student representative, were appointed to a committee to select a manager for the co-operative book store which will be opened next fall. One applicant has been interviewed to date, but not accented.
Emily Hollis reported that a dozen tile cigarette disposal containers soon will be placed in the basement of Frank Strong hall by the buildings and grounds department.
Anna Stevens and Shirley Wellborn were appointed to investigate the hiring of a psychiatrist for the University.
Donald Ong, president of the International Relations club, was granted an appropriation of $100 to be used for the United Nations conference here Saturday.
The council voted to draft a letter ai the O.P.A. requesting the renewal of rationing in accordance with the food conservation drive which will begin on the campus this week.
it was reported that Gayle Mott, equitation instructor, has leased he Elmer Brown farm and is willing to let the University use it for recreational purposes.

Robert McJones, Elmo Geppelt,
and James Waugh are the candidates for president of the Engineering council. Vice-president nominees are Morris Borene, William Young,
and Harry Dalby. Ralph Moody, Tylon Schuerman, and Floyd Svoboda are running for secretary-treasurer.
The School of Engineering will hold its election to select representatives from the various departments and classes to the Engineering council from 8:30 a.m. until after 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the basement of Marvin hall.
Teen-Age Boys Get Draft Reprieve
Washington. (UP) — Teen - age boys, prime source of new military manpower, today received a 45-day reprieve in stop-gap legislation extending the selective service act until July 1.
The senate passed the houseapproved extension bill less than six hours before selective service was scheduled to expire last midnight.
A war department spokesman said the ban on inducting youths of 18 and 19 would disrupt the army almost as much as complete stoppage of the draft. Few desirable men remain available in the group aged 20 through 29—the only ones now eligible.
As finally approved by congress, the stop-gap bill extended the draft authority for 45 days. In the interim, congressional leaders hoped to work out a one-year extension without such restrictions.
Most of the single men in the age group who have not already seen military service have been combed over and over by selective service boards.
Selective service officials said that there were only about 72,000 potentially eligible men in the 20 through 29 group, and that about half of these would probably be rejected for physical disability. The others—deferred during the war or recently re-classified—could be called up immediately if necessary, selective service said.
But the house amendments cut off the only good source of new manpower that the army wants during the 45-day extension—the 18 and 19-year-olds. The house stipulated that only single men 20 through 29 may be taken.
Selective service recently has been drafting single men 18 to 25. The age limit of 25 and the present ban on drafting fathers were matters of regulation, not law.
It was estimated that around 30.000 might be obtained from this group.
Spring Semester Examinations Begin June 6
Examinations will begin June 6 and continue through June 13.
You can start planning your train schedule back to "ye old hometown" now, because the examination schedule was released by the chancellor's office today.
Students enrolled in Spanish, German, and French, I, II, will have examinations not exceeding one hour and 50 minutes, although the courses are five, four, and three hours.
The schedule is arranged so that it is seldom possible to have two examinations scheduled for the same afternoon or morning, but persons having 12:30 and 4:30 classes may find themselves in this situation.
Excluding these exceptions the schedule is similar to the one for last year with five, four, and three hour courses having examinations lasting two hours and 50 minutes, and two and one hour course examinations scheduled for one hour and 50 minute periods.
Gibson Gets Leave To Work at Harvard On 'Human Relations'
Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science, will be granted a year's leave of absence from the University next fall when he will go to Harvard university on a fellowship to do human relations work, the Daily Kansan learned today.
Gibson was chosen by the University for the fellowship and will be doing the same type of work as Dr. Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology, who is now at Harvard on a one-year appointment as research associate in human relations.
Ethan Allen, political science professor, will direct the Western Civilization course during the coming year, Professor Gibson said.
Three or four other universities will be represented by staff members selected as research associates, he added. Colgate, Ohio State, and Kansas are the three universities which are represented in human relations at Harvard at the present time.
Mr. Gibson plans to resume his teaching duties here in the fall of 1947, he said.
'Spiking' Case Recommendations Go To Full I-F Council
Results of an Inter-Fraternity executive council hearing on the alleged "spiking" of a high school student by Phi Gamma Delta will go to a meeting of the full Inter-Fraternity council Monday for final decision, Keith Bunnel, council president, told the Daily Kansan today.
The Phi Gams had been accused of "spiking" Charles Steeper, Lawrence High school senior, in violation of Section I of Article 7 of the council constitution, which prohibits any action "deterimental to the fraternity system" on the K.U. campus
A penalty will be recommended for the action, but "this may be changed or entirely rejected by the full council." Bunnel pointed out.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy and cooler today with diminishing showers central and east ending during the day. Clearing and cooler tonight, low 37-42 northwest to 50-55 southeast.

Side-Stepping The Issue
On May 7 the Cardinal Guild, Iowa State's student governing body, voted not to back the issue of Negro participation in Big-Six competition and turned down a proposal to circulate a petition among Iowa State students to determine their opinions on the matter.
Their reasons, as printed in the Iowa State Daily Student, were that student opinion was not needed on this issue and that it would be of no consequence in any action which conference officials may take.
The reasons given by the Guild for this action we believe to be wholly inadequate and appear to be only an effort on their part to side-step the question.
We cannot agree with their reasoning. The opinion of students in the Big-Six schools definitely is needed on this question, and those opinions should be weighed heavily in any decision made by the conference athletic committee.
Each year several hundred students from the six conference schools take part in athletic contests as representatives of their respective student bodies. Those contests are of great interest to the majority of students at all schools. It naturally follows that their opinions should be considered in determining how the athletic program is run and who is allowed to participate.
The present "gentlemen's agreement" is not in keeping with our principles of liberal democratic education. Few will deny that our sports program has a real and important place in college life. As such it should be open to all who wish to participate, subject only to two restrictions; the present explicitly stated eligibility rules and the individual's own ability.
KU., Kansas State, and Nebraska students have expressed themselves in favor of abolishing the present discriminatory agreement. Before last week's action at Iowa State, the student paper at that school had strongly advocated a similar stand and the athletic department at that school had gone on record favoring a "revision" of the agreement in question.
When the members of the conference athletic committee meet at the end of this week in Lincoln, Neb., they should remember that they are representing not only their respective school administrations and athletic departments, but also the students at their schools.
It is their obligation to take into close consideration the opinions of those students in reaching their decisions.
The Job Isn't Finished
Senator Capper's reply to the A.S.C. telegram regarding O.P.A. was disappointing.
Not that we expected him to agree with the opinions expressed by the council, but the reason he gave for discontinuance of the O.P.A. we consider rather weak.
Senator Capper's objections to price control seem to rest on the fact that it is a bureaucratic control and he is against bureaucratic government.
We will agree with him that bureaucratic government that affects our national economy is not in keeping with the spirit of our society. But that is only half of the story.
The O.P.A. was brought into power to handle a particular situation which could be handled only by control administered by such a bureau. Few quarreled with its needs then, and it is only common sense that it should continue until its job is finished. To object to it merely on the basis that it is a powerful bureau and that we don't like such bureaus is short-sighted without determining whether it is still a necessary factor in our economy.
Many who assume that relaxation of controls will bring production up to demand more quickly, neglect the labor factor. When controls are lifted, prices are sure to rise and thereby increase the cost of living. Organized labor has already served notice that if this happens, unions will demand higher wages and if they don't get them they will refuse to work. If the higher wages are granted, we will take one more big step up the spiral of inflation. If they are not granted, labor will strike, production will be stifled, and uncontrolled prices will continue to rise on the relatively scarce supply of consumer products.
Rather than throw the O.P.A. out or weaken it so that it can't do its job properly, it seems we can stave off inflation more effectively by making price control more efficient and by giving the O.P.A. the support and personnel it needs to keep our economy from running away during this critical reconversion period.
Evidently all popular books don't make good movies. Film production of "Forever Amber" has ceased in Hollywood because it doesn't "measure up to standards." That announcement came a week after the Book Industry Committee revealed that readers of "Forever Amber" ran a close second to the number of Bible readers for 1945.
1946 Carruth Poetry Contest Christmas Pageant
Second Prize
Christmas Eve, 1944—I'm a sort of shepherd tonight;
My flock is Headquarters Company, one hundred twenty men;
Sleep well, comrades, your shepherd is cold and weary. But he watches his post in the usual military manner.
A cold wind wailing across the Ardennes forests, Drives snow whipped powder-fine against my helmet, Makes tiny, tinkling, tinny sounds when it hits, I could imagine it was church bells, if I wanted.
But I don't. I only want these two long hours to end;
Then crawl into the hayloft and go back to sleep.
I certainly would like to go to Liege tomorrow.
Should do something — after all, it's Christmas.
Why do I stand guard each Christmas Eve? Last year it was Oran, and it was raining. This year it's Belgium, and it is snowing. What next year? China, and a sandstorm?
But why count in years. It's foolish. Count by days, or count by parts of days. Or count by nothing. Only stand and wait. I'll wake some morning and find it's all over.
Wonder if I can go to Liege tomorrow;
Get a drink or two — between buzz-bombs.
They tell me parts of town are flattened.
I hope that Henri's bar is still intact.
There is a sound—a truck or tank or shell, listen;
No, it's none of them, it is something else,
A cold, harsh, metallic, inhuman chuckling,
Pilotless, monstrous buzz-bomb, headed toward Liege.
I can see the flickering light of the exhaust now, There is your star, shepherd, coming out of the east; Overhead now, passing on through the scattered clouds Gone, no, there it is, fading in the distance.
Sputtering, flickering, no light, the sound is gone. Then, a splash of gray light on the horizon, And a sullen rumble, rolling across the hilltops. I've seen it before. I know what's happened in Liege.
Christmas Eve, and the smell of powder in the air. Tumbled bricks, tumbled homes, and in the street The dead lie twisted, until someone comes along To dignify their passing with a blanket or a sheet.
A special Christmas pageant for you, shepherd,
All the ingredients—the star, the bells, the manger,
Now, what more can you ask for, shepherd?
I'd just like to know—where are the Wise Men?

Senior Expresses 'Disgust'
With K.U.'s Voting Procedure
To the Daily Kansan: I would like to express my utter disgust at the manner in which Thursday's election was conducted. There was no such thing as a secret ballot. The ballot booths were not private in any sense and were insufficient in number.
Persons who were supposedly there to assist not only seemed reluctant to give information, but were actually guilty of misinforming voters as to the manner of marking the ballots. After each person had voted, their ballots were taken by the "assistants" who preceded to read each one, often making comments upon them.
The voting polls were disorderly and there were entirely too many persons milling around who were neither voters nor workers at the voting tables.
If the elections cannot be conducted so that the vote is fair and secret, why not just have a show of hands? At least no one could vote more than twice that way.
JEAN MACFARLANE College Senior amod sto
Two Juniors Agree. With Flagg's Criticism of Girls
Frankly the desire to have a date with a woman does not stem from her ability to play football or converse on great topics. Normally enough, we like to go out with a woman who is easily recognizable as such and wears high heels and a pretty dress, and above all with a frank and open mind who doesn't think she is just about the finest person on the campus. Is that asking too much?
To the Daily Kansan: This letter will have no effect on the attitude of girls on the Hill, however, that is beside the point. It is the function of any newspaper to sample public opinion on topics of interest or concern in its locale, and it is to this end that this letter is written.
Recently the Kansan published an article written by the prominent artist, James Montgomery Flagg, wherein he decries the dress and mannerism of the modern girl. We are heartily in accord with Mr. Flagg. It is a point which has been gnawing at us since our advent here, and Mr. Flagg has now crystallized that vague discontent for us.
Judging by casual impressions garnered in the Union, between classes, on the street and just about everywhere, our concensus as veterans is that University girls, by their revolting outfits of bobby-sox, blue jeans, filthy fiddle shoes, and baggy sweaters, along with descending attitude, are naive children playing at being worldly.
After coming back from a grown-up world, so to speak, this is all pretty discouraging. And to top it all off, the girls wonder why so many of the boys spend their weekends in Kansas City or Topeka.
We admit that the "teen age" is the six or seven years period between childhood and adult womanhood, between blissful ignorance and grown-up responsibility. But when does the transition start?
And to those of you who say, "Well, if you don't like it you know where you can go," we say only. "We have been there and find, briefly, that we like it much better."
I cannot see that going to class in a moldy sweatshirt, sneakers, and a purple handanna would gain'ine much, but that is nearly the male equivalent of the present female attire at this University.
Possibly we have said too much, but an occasional airing never hurts the closet.
Dare we hope for a microscopic improvement?

Texan Designs For College Buyer
New York. (UP)—A dress manufacturer came out of the west today with a collection of youthful casual costumes that seem certain to take the back-to-college buyers by storm come August.
For Justin McCarty of Dallas appears to have proven that even in these days, well finished, smartly tailored young clothes can come within a modest budget.
Highlight of his first New York showing in 19 years of business was a group of simple woolen dresses perfect for school, office, or casual town wear, priced to sell in the vicinity of $25.
His favored colors for the trim classics are muted—beige, warm gold, and a moss green—all, perhaps, inspired by the sand and sage of his own Texas.
A two-piece gabardine dress in beige featured shirtwaist type sleeves ending below the elbow, a high collared neckline. Another in the same material had a true long shirt sleeve, a similar neckline trimmed, as was the other with an under collar scarf.
A moss, green flannel dress had a fly front, more shirtwaist sleeves, a gold kid belt and gold ornaments on its asymmetrical high collar.
McCarty showed a number of skirt combinations which may well take the bobby soxer and her older sister out of the sweater and skirt set. The skirts, in plaid woolens featured unpressed pleats all around. The blouses, in a variety of fabrics, were too pretty to want to cover up. One red one, shown with a red and grey plaid skirt, had short bell sleeves, a high neck.
The manufacturer's suits were also designed for the younger buyers, casual, with brief jackets, some boxy and double breasted, others snug replicas of the Eisenhower battle jacket.
They're a wearable group of clothes that Texas and her sister states may well be proud to don.
Sunflower Dames Elect Lucas President
Mrs. Walter H. Lucas Jr., has replaced Mrs. Robert P. Hagen as president of the Sunflower K.U. dames. Mrs. Carey A. Hortenbower is the new vice-president, elected at a meeting last week.

Note: Gordon E. White had emergency appendectomy. Condition good.
Conscience-Stricker
An allegro tempo blended into beautiful pianissimo harmony sound the key-note for the achievements of Mary Jane Vogt, College senior and music major.
Centralia, Wash. (UP) — Centralia's city commissioners received a $15 check from a former resident for light pole insulators he said he broke — 25 years ago.
Every day is a busy day for Mary Jane. With an eye to a future in the field of music education, she teaches the do-re-mi's of music to two classes in the Lincoln school in North Lawrence and one class in the McAllaster school daily.
In addition to the practice teaching and her regular college classes in which she has a grade average of
well over B. Mary Jane also finds time to study organ, take part in the Girl's Glee club, and serve as an accompanist for members of the faculty in the School of Fine Arts, and for voice students at recitals.
"The recitials don't take much of my extra time," she admits. "I always attend them anyway."
On Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings Mary Jane is accompanist for the Christian Science church.
Miss Vogt has been chosen as a member of the PiLambda Theta and Mu Phi Epsilon, national honorary sororities of education and music. She is a resident of Watkins hall and a member of the Student Union Activities association.
Classical music is Mary Jane's first love, but she has no aversion to popular music unless it has an overdose of jazz. Her hobby is collecting records of classical music, and next to music, her favorite pastime is reading.
"How can you manage to accomplish all this and still keep a high grade average?" she is often asked.
"Plan your work," she replies. It's that simple.

Union Music Room Offers Quiet, Relaxation For Lovers of Gershwin to Tchaikowsky
Only a door separates the noise and confusion of the Union lounge from the quiet of the music room. There for several hours each day an attendant will play any music requested.
The studio is equipped with a chair-side phonograph and speaker cabinet, a collection of more than 700 records, a card index set of composers and titles, and a set of musical dictionaries, gifts from the Carnegie foundation in New York, in 1939.
Several years ago, the music room was located in what is now the East room. When the navy came to the University in 1943, that room was taken as an officers' club. Then the equipment was switched to the officers' club. Then the equipment was switched to the English room, but dinners interfered with the music schedule.
Finally a section of the women's lounge was partitioned off, a new door cut from the main lounge into
that section, and the room padded so that the acoustics would be the best possible.
Attendants in the room are Harold Timmerman, Engineering junior; Harry Kirsnher, College freshman; and Humberto Trujillo, Spanish instructor from Columbia, South America.
The most popular records, so the attenders say, are Dvorsak's "New World Symphony," Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," Tschaikowsky's "Sixth Symphony," (Patetiche), and his "Romeo and Juliet Overture." Among the oldest are a set of Richard Strauss conducting the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.
Timmerman conducted a poll of music room patrons at the end of last semester to see what records they would like added to the collection. Next year, for the first time since the beginning of the war, new records will be purchased.

Vulgarity on This Side of Atlantic Is 'Good Clean Fun' in England
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
London. (UP) — The sun was shining at 6:30 p.m. when I elbowed into the New theater (built in 1903) for a highbrow British evening that locked nobody but one lowbrow Higgle when the comics went after American.
The ladies in the dress circle other with blunt swords. I gulped. It was funny, all right, but still I gulped. All I know is that the performance by Laurence Oliviers old Vic Theater company of "The Critic" would have crimsoned the face of sliding Billy Watson himself.
I had better tell you about it, because the 32 members of the troup comprising Britain's premier repertory company make aviation history Sunday by flying aboard a Pan American constellation to New York for a six week stand. If the boys use their swords on Broadway as they did on St. Martin's lane, my guess is that the joint'll be raided and the whole company hauled to the clink.
The evening was a wiedo one, beginning with the sundown curtain which started during the blitz and which the British decided they liked. So I had to pay the usherette in the white apron 10 cents for a program, make a deal with her to bring me a cup of coffee and cookie between the acts (because that is the custom) and try then to understand Olivier and company in Sophocles' tragedy, "Oedipus Rex."
It was the most tragic tragedy of all about the king who married his own mother and then put out his eyes. Never did I see a bloodier scene than that. The ladies who later giggled were weeping when the lights went on.
The next half hour of the program (after the coffee which could have been hotter) found the same actors performing in R. B. Sheridan's old comedy, "The Critic, or a Tragedy Rehearsed." They wore white wigs and satin knee breeches, and Olivier used a hatpin to keep on his tricorne. The dialogue was so brittle that it cracked before it reached me.
That probably was the fault of my ears. Everybody else thought it was hilarious. Came finally the climax, and hold onto your seat; the cardboard waves were bouncing across the stage, the plywood clouds were floating by, the British fleet was firing upon the Spanish armada, and the swordmen were doing their stuff at the footlights.
Somebody was shooting off guns, the New theater was filling rapidly with gunpowder smoke, and then according to the plot everything came unstuck. Olivier was snagged on a passing cloud and couldn't get off. Miss Nicoletta Bernard lost her white satin dress, while Sir Walter Raleigh and the Arl of Leicester, played by Michael Warre and Michael Ragnan, did things with those swords which simply aren't done in the American theater. Not if there are any cops around.
The curtain crashed down and the orchestra, including the lady violinist who'd knitted placidly through the whole performance, played God Save The King.
I left dazed. For what is vulgarity on one side of the Atlantic becomes good clean fun on the other. The thing that pains me now is that I was booked to fly home on the plane with the actors and Mrs. Vivien Leigh Olivier. I figured it would be all right to get chummy with Scarlett O'Hara and maybe pat her hand if the transatlantic movie got scary.

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Assault, double winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, has a chance to become the seventh horse in turfdom history to come home first in the Big Three when the Belmont race rolls around the first week in June.
The Texas fireball became the 12th horse to take both the Derby and the Preakness stakes, but only five of the other 11 horses which had accomplished this feat could capture the triple crown.
Assault won by a neck over Lord Boswell in the Preakness, but many experts believe that Lord Boswell will win the Belmont because of the added distance. The Belmont track is a quarter-mile longer than the Preakness oval.
Lord Boswell made a terrific drive on the stretch, but he couldn't overtake Assault. With the added distance, I believe that Lord Boswell will come home the winner and spoil Assault's chance to go down in racing annals.
* *
The major league baseball races are proving that you can't judge by pre-season dope how the teams will fight it out after the season starts. The American league race was forecast as the closest in many years, but the National league was conceded to be more or less a walkaway for the St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Boston Red Sox, leading the American league, are 10 games ahead of the fourth place club and $ _{14}^{2} $ games in front of the tail-end Philadelphia Athletics.
It is a different story in the senior circuit. Brooklyn is leading the pack, but only nine and one-half games separate the Dodgers and the last place Philadelphia Phillies. And this race was supposed to be a runaway.
The season isn't near finished yet, and a lot could happen between now and World Series time. But it seems unlikely that any team in the National league can turn the race into a rout without getting a good start. The American league fight could turn into a close contest, but the Red Sox seem to be off to a commanding lead.
--doors, are red and blue 880 threats. Either could take the title, but they will have to outstep such middle distance speedsters as Nebraska's Bobby Ginn and Dean Kratz; Jim Cunningham of Kansas State; and Bill Chronister, Missouri.
Coach George Sauer was pleased when he learned that Warren Riegle, Jayhawker captain and All-Big Six end in 1944, would be back in school next fall.
Biele was a navy trainee and was transferred in mid-season, but he had left his mark on the Big Six schools against whom he had played. Although he played in only six games that fall, he was named to the All-Big Six team.
He will be a welcome addition to the Jayhawkers next fall, and he should make a big difference in the forward wall strength. He is a driver on defense, and a fine pass snagger on offense. With Riegle and Schnellbacher on the receiving end and Red Hogan and Ray Evans slinging the passes, Kansas will have a fine aerial offensive.
Davis Cup Team Will Play in Kansas City
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The United States Davis Cup tennis team will participate in the Heart of America Invitational Tennis tournament here at the Rockhill Tennis club, June 3-9, Hal Surface, Jr., tournament director, announced today.
Surface, eighth ranking amateur player in the nation, said that the United States Tennis association had informed him that the Davis Cup team would compete in a warm-up match here the week before they meet the Phillipine team in St. Louis.
Surface, who has invited the top ranking college players to participate in this year's tourney, said that the top amateur players were now assured of competing in the first postwar annual midwest tournament.
Kansas Is One of Four Track 'Favorites' In Wide-Open Big Six Meet Saturday
Kansas, a dispointing fifth in the Big Six indoor track meet just two months ago, will go to the post as one of the favorites for the conference outdoor flag Saturday when loop thinclads converge on Lincoln for their 18th annual meet.
The Jayhawkers also were top rated in the indoor scuffle at Kansas City but flopped resoundingly when Johnny Jackson and Hal Moore were forced out because of illness. With these two point-gatherers back in the harness along with an imposing array of weight men, league track experts have cast KU in a four-way fight with Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma for the crown.
None of these four can be counted out of championship consideration. And with the steady improvement evident in both camps, both Iowa State, the defending titlist, and Kansas State, easily could finish in the first division.
The only thing certain about the carnival is that it will be the hardest fought, closest conference meet in the two-decade history of the affair. The situation is so unpredictable in at least six events that nobody is paying much attention to a form chart. The scramble for points, especially after first and second place in the broad jump, high jump, pole vault, mile, two-mile, and discuss throw, will involve as many as nine men per event.
Unbeaten in three outdoor dual meets and winners of second place in the Texas and Kansas Relays, Kansas has enough ammunition to win. Jayhawker strength starts in the weights and extends stoutly through the middle distances, high jump and broad jump, before fading out with singletons in the pole vault, dashes and hurdles.
It's no secret that Ray Kanehl's gang expects to pick up 20 or more points in the three weight events alone with Charlie Black, Leroy Robison, and freshman javelin flinger, Karl Ebel, on the implement range.
Black and Robison have a good chance of running one-two in the shot put. The angular basketball All-American owns a mark of 47-9 $ _{3} $ and Robison one of 48-2 $ _{1} $ . This is the best pair of records for that event in the conference.
Black could rack up a double by coping the shot and discus. His pitch of 141-11 $ _{3/4} $ against Kansas State two weeks ago is the second best heave of the conference season. Only Missouri's Mel Sheehan with a mark of 144-3 is better. Robison should place somewhere along the line.
Ebel, the strong-armed lad from Hillsboro, will duel Herb Grote, Nebraska's rotund defending champion, for the javelin banner. Grote has brushed 200 feet this year and owns the current Big Six record of 216-4, but has been ailing for the past two weeks, missing the Cornhuskers' final duel with Missouri. Ebel's best throw is 193-94. Robison, who has won the crown for the past two years, should land points in this event also.
Kansas will field double threats in the quarter and half. In addition to the undefeated Jackson in the 440, Kanehl will pull the wraps off a newcomer, Wallace Destershaft. The towering former Purdue runner chased Jackson home in both the Kansas State and Missouri duals, breaking .50.0 each time. Jackson owns the conference's two best times at .49.4 and .49.5.
Harold Hinchee, who finished second in the indoor field, and Andy Lunsford, twice his conqueror outdoors, are red and blue 880 threats. Either could take the title, but they will have to outstep such middle distance speedsters as Nebraska's Bobby Ginn and Dean Kratz; Jim Cunningham of Kansas State; and Bill Chronister, Missouri.

Six Jayhawkers will toe the takeoff board in the broad jump with Black, Scofield, and Mel Stevens, all good bets to better 22 feet. The remaining entries are Owen Peck, Dexter Welton, and Stoland.
The high jump clash will be between Tom Scofield, Kansas leaper, and Dwayne Feekin, his two-time conqueror from Iowa State. The Jayhawkers figure to tap this event for secondary points with Bob Stoland and Norb Zimmer.
This will be one of the meet's toughest races, ranking with the 440 and mile. The latter will feature a wide-open scramble between Kratz, the defending king; Ginn, Bill Arlen, Iowa State indoor champion; K.U.'s Moore, and Leasure, of Kansas State.
What the Hawkers are able to do after the above group of events will tell the tale of whether or not they can lug home their first gonfalon since 1834. The point-getting will be left up to Black in the pole vault, Peck in the 100, Jackson in the 220, and Welton in the hurdles. None of them figures for better than a second place, but if they come through, Kansas should score slightly more than 60 points—a total good enough to win 13 out of the previous 17 years.
Jacksonville, Fla. (UP) — Law-breakers in this city taste the full irony of life when they arrive at the police station or the county jail — both located on Liberty street.

These Days, 'Well-Bread' K.U. Students Take One Slice of It
engers ancient

CY Mass.
CO.
The conventional slice of bread and butter is no longer just a handy item to hold in your left hand or a shovel to push that least pea on your fork.
Students, it's a luxury! The bread shortage has hit the campus.
Organized houses are attempting to solve the problem by serving rolls until the flour shortage dwindles their now abundant supply. Although no one seems to know the exact amount of flour on hand, as long as the rolls continue to come in pre-shortage quantities, there is no danger of breadless meals.
"Patients at Watkins Memorial hospital are being asked to state the amount of bread they want with their meal as an effort to curb the present shortage."
Miss Marion Truhlson, dietician explained. "By taking such measures whereby the consumption equals the supply, the problem of waste is eliminated."
The union cafeteria is also fastening the lid on the breadbasket a little tighter, according to Miss Zipple, director. Students are asked to eat only one slice of bread at a meal instead of the accustomed two or three.
There is no prediction that there will ever be bread lines to correspond with the nylon and white shirt lines. It is entirely possible, however, that in the near future you will be glad to open that laundry bag from home and find that your cheese and crackers have made way for a substitute—a delicious loaf of homemade bread.
Electronic Brain May Solve Oil Problems
Tulsa, Okla. (UP)—An electronic "brain" which can solve within minutes- mathematical problems virtually unworkable on paper was offered without royalty to the oil industry today by The Carter Oil company, whose scientists developed it.
Officially named "the electrical oil pool analyzer," the device will predict the life history of an oil field and determine how much water pressure must be kept on an oil formation for the most efficient withdrawal of petroleum over a period of years.
Oscar C. Schorp, president of the oil company, announced at a dinner there last night attended by scientists, educators and oil writers that Carter Oil company was relimquishing its patent rights to the machine, which was developed over a five year period by Dr. W. A. Bruce, 35-year-old physicist employed by the firm.
Bruce explained that the analyzer based on the fact that electric- under "pressure" from resistors condensors, reacts similarly to
petroleum, briquethed oil

into the device through elec-
onic means.
"It should be a boon to the conservation forces," Bruce said. "The

Tokyo. (UP)—Sgt. Kelsey K. Draper, Caldwell, was one of the three army fliers killed when two planes crashed recently during bad weather. Fifth air force headquarters have announced.
The planes were enroute to Nagoya from Atsuji when the crashes occurred. Another of the A-26 Douglas "Invaders" made a crash landing, and a fourth returned to Atsuji.

robot may indicate that too speedy production is being carried on, hastening an early end to the oil field under study. The calculations from the analyzer will outline the proper rate of withdrawal."
The device has been used in several states on an experimental basis and preparations are now under way to install one of the analyzers in South America, where, Bruce said, "it will feel the pulse" of oil fields on that continent.
Bruce set up the first model of the "brain" in 1942, after studying an electrical device which records the flow of heat through substances as developed by Columbia university. New York. The device is operated through a maze of switches and dials on its six-foot square walnut cabinet.
The inventor took undergraduate and post-graduate work at Washington university, St. Louis, before joining the Carter staff eight years ago.

Cold Weather Damages Kansas Wheat
AUGUST 23, 1956
Temperatures which deeped to 27 degrees and lower in western Kansas damaged wheat in test plots at Garden City. Inspecting the results here are, left to right, Alvin Lowe, Harold Stout, and L. M. Sloan. The wheat crop previously had been hurt by drought.
Operators Reject Welfare Fund
Washington (UP)—Soft coal operators today rejected John L. Lewis' demand for a $70,000,000 welfare fund on the ground that it was "a new social theory and philosophy."
It ended whatever small hope there was that the miners and operators could go to the White House with an agreement today—as requested by President Truman last week.
The operators' decision forced the prolonged wage negotiations into a new deadlock. It was disclosed in a statement read to Lewis and other United Mine Workers leaders at the opening of today's bargaining conference.
Lewis' demand involved a seven per cent payroll assessment. Miners would not have to contribute to the fund, but the union would administer it.
The operators said the union had proposed no restrictions upon the expenditure of the money and that the industry "unequivocally rejects" the proposal.
William Kornhous, Jr., who enrolled as a College freshman for the spring semester and withdrew March 1, suffered a mangle hand from the blast. Kornhaus' home is at 1043 Indiana street.
Former Student Killed In Explosion
Edsall Cantwell, College freshman last semester, was killed in a chemical shop he had improvised in the garage of his parents' home, 3723 Gillham Road, Kansas City, Mo.
Cantwell, who was majoring in chemical engineering, lived at 1332 Louisiana street while attending the University. During vacations, he manufactured fireworks at his home, earning a large part of his University expenses.
Jay James To Announce New Members Next Week
Relatives said he had obtained an order for 1,000 gross of firecrackers from a Kansas City fireworks distributor, and presumed he was operating a machine devised for their manufacture at the time of the explosion. He was killed instantly.
The blast ripped off the roof of the brick garage, and shattered windows within a 100-foot radius.
New members_elected to Jay Janes University women's pep organization, will be announced after the last in a series of membership teas Monday afternoon, Virginia Wickert, president, said today.

Truman Asks Miners, Operators to Arbitrate
Washington (UP)—President Truman today asked the deadlocked miners and essoft coal operators to submit their dispute to arbitration
Truman proposed to the miners and the operators that each side submit their basic differences to an arbitrator, with the miners remain at work during the period of arbitration—even after the present two-week treue expires, May 25.
He said he asked the miners and operators to agree on an arbitrator. If they could not agree, then the President would propose an arbitrator.
The president announced his request after talking briefly with John L. Lewis, president of the mine union, and Charles O'Neill, representing the operators.
They told him that their negotiation had collapsed and that further sessions would be "useless."
Asked what he would do if the two groups rejected his arbitration proposal, the President deferred his answer until such a situation arises.
Australia Blocks New UN Members
New York (UP)—Australia charged day that the United Nations security council would be usurping the plections of the general assembly if opps a proposal to pass on new membership applications in se-committee sessions.
During its session this morning the council adopted—with minor amendments—34 new working rules proposed by its committee of experts Australia, however, raised strong objections to additional rules on admitting new members to the UN and the question was put off until tomorrow.

British Suggest Plan For U.S.of India
London. (UP) — Prime Minister Clement Attlee told commons today that a British cabinet mission had submitted a plan for a United States of India to the Indian congress party and the Moslem league.
Tokyo, (UP)—Shigeru Yoshida, a steely, little 67-year-old man who has spent most of his lifetime in Japan's diplomatic service, was appointed premier of Japan by Emperor Hirohito today after receiving the endorsement of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
The appointment of Yoshida, a moderate, to succeed Baron Kijuro Shidehara climaxed a 25-day stalemate wherein political parties held conferences nearly every day in an effort to find a man who could win enough support from various groups to organize a cabinet.
The British plan for India transition toward independence provided for a central government corresponding roughly to that of the United States, embracing both British India and the independent states.

Call Me An Old Fuddy-Duddy, But—
A bad case of "hypersensitive sex consciousness" has hit the "younger generation," Dr. R. H. Wheeler, psychology professor, declared to a capacity crowd in the opening session of a series of talks on "Love and Marriage" at the Kansas room of the Union Wednesday.
'We Are Too Sex-Conscious'---Wheeler
The series, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., will continue at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday with a talk by Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service and Daily Kansan columnist, speaking on "The Physical Aspects of Marriage."
Dr. Wheeler's talk was on "The Psychological Aspects of Marriage."
"We have been going through a period of decadence," he continued. "This is bad because it saps the vitality of the country, and the birthrate goes down.
And whenever the birthrate goes down, a period of hyper-sensitive sex consciousness prevails."
The psychologist criticised current attitudes on "social relations" among young Americans.
"Call me an old fuddy-duddy or whatever you like," he said, "but when I was a young man, we wouldn't think of dating seriously a girl who'd let us kiss her on the first, second, or even 10th date. We certainly wouldn't think of becoming familiar with her before the time we wanted to become engaged.
"And if a girl let us maul her, she was the next thing to a prostitute."
The secret of a happy marriage, he pointed out is "self-discipline, willingness to compromise, and doing something for your mate, rather than expecting him or her to do something for you."
Negro Housing Plea To Malott
A plea for better Negro housing will be made to the administration and Chancellor Deane W. Malotl soon, according to Franzana Jackson, chairman of the committee investigating the Negro housing problem
There are about 135 Negro students in the University now. Miss Jackson said. She added that many prospective Negro students have been turned away in the past because of the lack of adequate housing for them.
The committee, composed of Miss Jackson, Mary Zollinger, George Caldwell, and Emily Hollis, will meet Tuesday to determine and to outline the Negro housing needs.
Negro students she said, live throughout the residential section of Lawrence, and many of them had difficulty in finding places to eat during the weekends before the Union cafeteria was opened on Sundays. She contended that the only other eating places for Negroes are "hamburger joints."

Sick Elephant Finds Kansas Doctor Knows
Minneapolis.-Not very many elephants get sick around Kansas farms, so Dr. John S. Haley, Minneapolis veterinarian, hasn't been practicing his specialty lately.
But when the circus came to town last week, it brought a performing elephant with the tummyache.
Dr. Haley knew just what to do.
His job with the Chinese army in Burma and South China for two years was treating elephants.
Library Use Sunday Will Determine Hours
Definite closing hours for the library during the Sunday night dinner hour will be determined after a check is made of attendance at Watson library Sunday, according to library officials.
Last Sunday's attendance was not considered representative because so many students were out of town for Mother's day.
Little Man On Campus
Students checked out 323 books on the library's first open Sunday, between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. Peak attendance was 87 at 3:30 p.m. and 84 at 8:30 p.m., according to a check made by C. M. Baker, director. The low point of the day, was 36 students at 5:30 p.m., when students left for their dinner hour.

Peace Confab On Germany Still Stymied
Paris. (UP)—Secretary of State James F. Byrnes fought for three hours today for his proposal to call a peace conference on Germany for next November, but was stymied by the failure of V. M. Molotov to receive new instructions from Moscow.
The Foreign Ministers council, which will adjourn after today until June 15, wrangled through a morning session over the proposed peace conference on Germany. A decision was deferred until later in the day.
Molotov was reported to be awaiting instructions from Moscow regarding the November conference. In lieu of such a directive he stood fast against Byrnes struggle for council approval of his suggestion.
A private meeting of the council, scheduled for this afternoon, was expected to be the last before the adjournment.
The conference neared its end with the American delegation laying down a virtual ultimatum that Russia must change her attitude during the recess or the western powers will sign separate peace treaties.
Two rather prefunctory windup meetings were scheduled for today to discuss Germany and initial revisions in Italian armistice terms, but the real work of the conference was ended in complete failure.
The western power delegations realized fully that separate treaties would mean a final split between the east and west. There was no inclination, however, to back down from what Britain, France, and the United States consider Molotov's obstruction tactics.
Thomas Mix, graduate student from Topeka, will direct the summer recreation program in Lawrence, Henry Shenk, chairman of the recreation council, announced today.
Molotov's refusal to fix a peace conference date or put Austria on the agenda for the June session left little real hope in the western delegations that the situation will be changed materially by June 15.
Tom Mix (But Not The One You Think) Will Head Recreation
The recreation program has been planned to last from June 17 to about Sept. 1, and will include softball, baseball, and other sports.
Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, assistant professor of English, will speak at a dinner meeting of the Poetry society of Kansas near Hutchinson on June 4.
Mix is a graduate of Washburn university at Topeka. He has coached at Havensville and Wamego and next year will be coach of all sports at Boswell junior high school in Topeka.
Helen Rhoda Hoopes Will Speak to Poets
She will discuss "The Idiom of Poetry," a book by Fred R. Pottle, Yale professor.
Allen To Speak At Baldwir
Affen To Speak At Baldwin Dr. F. C. Allen, director of physical education, will speak on "Life's Compensations" at the commencement services of Baldwin high school on May 24.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy today and tonight, except few light showers extreme west this forenoon. Somewhat warmer west and north central today. Low tonight near 45 extreme northwest to lower 50's south east. Friday partly cloudy east, increasing cloudiness west, somewhat warmer east.

Inconsistent Diplomacy
Recently President Truman proposed to Congress that we enter into extensive military collaboration with the rest of-the Americas. It is difficult to see how Mr. Truman can square that proposal with the foreign policy he has repeatedly proclaimed.
Such a military collaboration would almost certainly be viewed by many foreign countries as a proposal to set up a military bloc in the Americas. Such a bloc would be in direct contradiction to the spirit of the Atlantic Charter which we are pledged to support.
Regardless of how high our moral aim in such matters may be, we should remember an important point in international diplomacy. It is not only how a nation looks to itself but how others see it that often weighs heavily in international relations.
Mr. Truman's plan would make it possible, among other things, for us to sell or transfer military equipment to any nation in the Americas. The aim of this is to have American armies equipped, in so far as possible, with standardized'weapons. Furthermore it is advocated that a close military liaison be set up between the chiefs of staff of the separate American nations.
The plan is based on the existing mutual-aid treaty among the American nations, on the presumption* that a strong military collaboration between those nations is a rational adjunct to such a treaty.
We have consistently frowned on Russia for trying to extend her sphere of influence, and yet this proposal amounts to our doing much the same thing in this hemisphere. The fact that we, and not the Russians, are doing it does not automatically make it more correct.
It is common knowledge that Russia hates fascism and it is also apparent that she has little love for the British Commonwealth. Yet, in this one proposal, we suggest the establishing of close military ties with a South American country under a fascist regime and with Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth. And all this, only a few weeks after we disclaimed any desire for an Anglo-American military alliance and condemned the fascist regime of Juan Peron.
By the advocacy of peace-time military collaboration superimposed upon our treaties, we would only add momentum to the struggle for power positions in the world and promote a consequent armament race while adding little to the promotion of world peace.
To adopt a plan such as this one may well be interpreted as a lack of full faith in the United Nations and the international armed force which is to back up its decisions.
There's at least one bright note in the nation's economic picture. Your share of the national debt is now only $1,959.28, a decrease of $38.24 during the past 60 days. At that rate it will only take eight years to wipe out the debt.
The campus memorial drive is still $7,000 from its goal with the spring semester rapidly drawing to a close.
Then And Now----20 To 1
The response of this year's student body is in sharp contrast to the support students gave to the World War I memorial project. In fact, the contributions in 1920 seem nothing short of amazing when compared to the very light donations so far given in the present campaign.
In the former campaign, the schools of the University carried on a contest to see which school would contribute the most. Law school students won the contest with an average contribution of $71.26. The medics trailed with an average of $33.50 per student.
In the present campaign, the student quota is only 2 per cent of the total amount needed. Thus a student body that is larger by 1,400 students has been asked to give only one-twentieth as much money.
The student body contributed $200,000 to the World War I memorial; that was 20 per cent of the total cost. At that time the enrollment numbered 3,342.
The average student donation after World War I was $53. Today students are being asked to give an average of two dollars.
It is evident that the present campus quota for K.U.'s World War II Memorial is very moderate. University students after the first world war met their somewhat staggering quota. We should emulate their spirit and generosity in meeting a much more modest goal before the spring semester ends.
The war isn't over. It has just changed form from bombs to eight-cylinder cars. Kansas highway fatalities for 1946 are already 100 per cent above the same period last year.
The recent cloudy weather should have been welcome to many of the University's coeds. Those sultans were getting pretty red.
1946 Carruth Poetry Contest
Third Prize
Time's not alone the ticking of a clock,
Nor plodding days extending on to years;
Nor waxing moons and setting suns; nor tears
And smiles whose very inconsistence shock
Our weary hearts, confuse our minds, and mock
The steady beat of hours. Nor yet are biers
And cradles time. Each when my love appears
Time sounds a tick; each when she smiles, a tock.
Then ask me not to count the hours with grains
Of sand on sand; nor shadows from the sun;
Nor gears and springs, two hands upon a face.
But let me mark the time each second gains
By knowing that I love you twice again
As did I when that second took its place.

Bibler Isn't Appreciated In Fine Arts, Art Student Says
GEORGE E. OSBORNE
Graduate Student
To the Daily Kansan: Someone is getting a raw deal, and I want to complain about it.
Dick Bibler, the Daily Kansan's clever cartoonist, is also an art major. Instead of being proud of his achievements, however, some of his fine arts professors are reluctant to give him credit for the fine job he has done and the promise he shows. Instead, they go to the opposite extreme to make him uncomfortable.
Bibler walked into an art class one recent morning, only to have a professor point to him and say, "That's Bibler. His-stuff stinks."
That's not the way I've heard it. Maybe the so-called artists don't recognize genuine talent. Or maybe the so-called artists don't like seeing Bibler making a bigger name for himself and more money then they'll ever make.

K.U. Housing Units To Come From Texas
The 186 demountable housing units allotted to the University by the Federal Public Housing Authority will come from Abilene, Texas, rather than Wichita, Kan., as originally planned, Irvin Youngberg, director of housing, has announced.
The Wichita units were already filled with G.I.'s there and the federal authority asked permission to switch the K.U. allotment to the Abilene houses.
The units to come from Abhene are four feet wider and 20 feet shorter than the Wichita units.
Southbridge. (UP) — Nearly every other American has blue eyes.
Tearing down of the units was to have begun yesterday, according to the contract, to prepare them for delivery to KU. immediately. The new type of building will fit the site which has been* prepared south of the University, Mr. Youngberg said.
The (Blue) Eyes Have It
A nation-wide survey by the American Optical company revealed that 48 per cent of the nation is blue-eyed, 37 per cent brown-eyed and 15 per cent gray-eyed.
Rock Chalk

And it was cold too. Hoyt Baker kept his date waiting the other night about an hour. The reason? Someone stole all his trousers, at least that's his story.
Insubordination. Nancy Jackson and Helen Harkrader, "Bring 'em back alive" hunters, succeeded in getting out of a two-hour study hall Wednesday night. After teaching up the entire Gamma Pi house in their search, they finally admitted that they really hadn't seen a mouse after all.
Everything's up to date in Kansas. Bonnie Oswalt has her dates or modes of transportation lightly mixed. In an oral report in geography she said, "In 1889, a group of people in the east packed up their stationwagons to come to Kansas."
Initiation consists of kneeling behind a booth while an active member pours a bit of coffee on your head. Dues are 10 cents a day—five for the coffee and five for the juice box. (Note to Sigma Nu actives: bet you can't find them.)
How did she know, Becky Vallette was very unpopular Tuesday afternoon. Someone left a jar in the Daily Kansas news room of what Becky thought were white grapes. They were small white boiled onions.
Shucks. Koli Amini, the Persian Lamb from Iran, is working a new trick on the campus. He lures an unsuspecting person by telling him that he has a sensational picture to show him. After unfolding a piece of paper about ten times, the victim practically loses an eye when a big spring pops out of the contraption.
The library is too dull. The latest exclusive club to form on the campus is the Sigma Nu pledge class Coffee Club which meets every morning at an undisclosed cafe.
Isn't nature wonderful? Elmer Beth, head man of the department or journalism who teaches Law of the Press, was holding a review section for a quiz outside the "Shack" or evening when a flock of birds flee over. He interrupted his lecture momentarily to say, "$'+]*"**! those birds," as he brushed his hand across his head.

Emotional Upsets Cause Diseases--Allen
UNION CAB CO.
Phone 2-800
Jayhawker Building
A broken heart can cause a heart disease, Dr. Sylvia J. Allen, Kansas City psychiatrist, told the Psychology club at a meeting yesterday in the Union.
"Emotional disturbances can cause physical ailments. All physical illness has its psychic component. Ulcer, arthritis, heart conditions and their psychic components have been studied a great deal." she explained
Dr. Allen is a psychiatrist at the University of Kansas hospitals and was formerly a psychoanalyst at Mennenger's hospital at Topeka.
The field of psychology has undergone indicative changes and has settled down to become one of the important fields of medicine, she said.
"The war has taught us many things about psychiatry." Miss Allen said. "One of these is the running diagnosis. Before the war, a diagnosis was made and the patient was marked with a specific psychological disease. Now the diagnosis is written giving the probable trends toward certain diseases and other symptoms which can be studied and improved."
The problem of the psychiatrist now is to get the people to listen to them. Miss Allen said. "The changes cannot go too fast because public opinion won't stand for it," she concluded. "The people want a fast cure and this is not possible. There is no short road to a change in the personality."

Socially Speaking
By MARTHA JEWETT, Society Editor
The rain, lack of sleep, and school in general has everyone on the campus looking rather sad. Perhaps spring will return so everyone can take advantage of it soon, but then who ever feels like cracking books and such stuff, even in rainy weather. One happy thought is that on May 30 we all get a vacation. Even one day will help lots.

K.U. To Ask State Aid In Student Housing
The University has received permission from the state board of regents to appeal to the governor's emergency fund board for $75,000 to aid in student housing, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today.
If granted, the money will be used to move buildings from a war plant site to the University to house from 300 to 400 men students, Mr. Nichols said.
The money alloted universities throughout the country for veteran housing by the Meade bill was used by K.U. to provide the 185 units now under construction on "Sunny-side," Mr. Nichols added.

Garter Snakes May Not Be Harmless After All
Chicago. (UP)—Garter snakes and so-called harmless types of reptiles may not be harmless after all, according to the American Journal of Veterinary Research.
Two California veterinarians decided to check on the "harmless" snakes while investigating causes of Salmonella infection in a flock of turkeys. Twenty-six per cent of the snakes were carriers of the germ which had caused sickness among the turkevs.
"This relatively high incidence in snakes on ranches indicate the reptiles, like birds, may serve as important reservoirs of Salmonella," the research report concluded.

Psychology Important In Treating Disease, Dr. Coleman Says
"It is more important to know what kind of patient has a disease than it is to know what kind of disease a patient has," Dr. James Coleman, instructor of psychology told Pre-nursing club members at a meeting in Fraser dining room.
Dr. Coleman spoke on "Psychology for Nurses." Lorraine Carpenter, president, presided.
"Psychology factors are becoming more and more connected with physical ailments. Certain types of personalities can be typed to have certain diseases," Dr. Coleman said.
More people in the United States suffer from mental illness than from tuberculosis, cancer, and infantile paralysis, and more hospital beds are filled by mental patients than all other diseases combined, he added. More than 600,000 patients are in state institutions for the mentally ill and each year 180,000 more enter these institutions.
At this rate about five per cent of the population will be in mental hospitals during their lives and another five per cen will be permanently incapacitated by mental disease, he said. About 15 per cent of all college students need psychotherapy, he explained.
Psychiatric nurses are badly needed, in hospitals now, because 85 per cent of the persons having physical ailments need psychotherapy. Dr. Coleman said.
Nurses are expected to be wise, understanding, and able to gain the confidence of their patients. Psychological training helps them in this, Dr. Coleman concluded.
Now Everyone's Using 'Two-Bit' Words
Akron, O. (UP)—The weatherman is thinking of putting more scientific language into his weather reports.
Before the war, people used to call up and say "Hey, is it gonna get colder?"
Now he says they want to know if a "warm front is coming over" or "What kind of air is behind the clouds?"
Weatherman Ray Robinson blames it on the army and navy courses in meteorology.
He's Delbert Dalby, owner of an Amarilli-Denver truck line, and his hobby is collecting mechanical pencils.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
We will have our last chance to show how much support we intend to give spring sports tomorrow and Saturday when the Jayhawker baseballers entertain the Missouri Tigers for a two-game series.
By BILL SIMS
Only two conference games have been played here because bad weather has forced the cancellation of others, and the attendance at those two games was pretty good. But it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been.
With over 5,000 students enrolled in the University, there should be between 500 and 1,000 athletic supporters of all sports, not just football and baseball. The whole valley should resound with the cheers of loyal Kansas fans when these two teams meet.
The Tigers won the first two game series, and the Jayhawkers will be out to get revenge. They will be fighting to win, so that Kansas can move up the conference ladder into second or third place. That's all the more reason all of us who possibly can should be out there rooting for the Crimson and Blue.
If the students show the athletic department that they will support the so-called minor sports whole-heartedly, you can bet your bottom dollar that the athletic department will do everything it can to build the minor sports into major sports at Kansas. They'll cooperate with us if we'll co-operate with the teams and coaches.
Once again it's up to us to show them that we mean it when we say we'll cooperate. Let's all be down at the baseball diamond for these two games.
\* \* \*
Kansas boasts one of the best hurriers in the conference in Tom Saffell. He has won two and lost two in Big Six competition, but he has had a lot of tough luck. Errors have been his downfall in both games, and his earned run average is low in the four games he has worked.
Saffell probably will get the cah to hurl against the Tigers tomorrow. It will be his second home appearance this season, and, in his first, he let Kansas State down with two hits. If Saffell gets good support from his teammates, he will be hard to beat.
Saffell has been called the best Jayhawk hurler since Knute Kresie was mowing the opposition down in 1940 and 1941. Saffell has a fine assortment of curves, a good drop, and a pretty fair fast ball, and he also is one of the best hitters on the team.
\* \* \*
Tribute should be paid to all of the men who have represented Kansas in athletics this year. All have done their best to give Kansas good teams, and they have done a pretty good job.
It's true that we have won only two championships so far, but only the Oklahoma Sooners have done as well so far as titles are concerned. If the Jayhawkers can come through at Lincoln in the track and field meet, Kansas will rank right up at the top of the Big Six all-sports standings.
Kansas is definitely on its way up in Big Six athletics, and next year the Jayhawkers should do even better. Ernie Quigley and his staff are to be congratulated for a swell job this year. The Crimson and Blue will no longer be the doormat of conference athletics.
'Cowboys' Are Chosen All Sports 'Champs'
Stillwater, Okla. (UP)—Oklahoma A. & M. won three major sports championships of the Missouri Valley conference to clinch the all-sports honors for the 1945-46 year.
The Aggies took first places in football, basketball and track, tied for second in tennis and was third in golf.

The little Sauers, George and Dana, already have been converted from their Nebraska upbringing and are enthusiastic Jayhawkers. During spring practice, they decked out in their red sweaters with the Jayhawker emblems and watched Daddy, Coach George Sauer, direct his gridmen. Here they get "in the huddle" with Frank Pattee, fullback, and Hubert Grubiss, end. Coach Sauer says they think no one ever had a Jayhawk until they came to Lawrence, since they always proudly out at seeing the emblem somewhere else, "Look! There's a Jayhawk like ours."
Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa,
and Phi Delta Theta were the winners in intramural softball games Wednesday.

Sigma Chi defeated the Sigma Phi Epsilon team by an overwhelming score of 17-7. The Sigma Chi's took the lead early in the game and held it throughout the encounter.
Sigma Nu played a hard fought game with Delta Upsilon but was able to hold a four-run advantage with a final score of 8-4. The lead was threatened several times but the Sigma Nu team put down the rallies without damage.
Phi Kappa forged ahead in the last innings to defeat the Tau Kappa Epsilon squad by a score of 8-4. The TKE's took the lead early in the game but were unable to hold the Phi Kappa team down.
The game between PT-7 and Kappa Alpha Psi was postponed until today by agreement of both teams.
Phi Delta Theta walked away with the game with Alpha Tau Omega by a score of 11-2.
The Jayhawkier linksmen, who finished their pre-tournament season with four victories and five defeats; will compete in the Big Six golf tournament Friday and Saturday at Lincoln, Neb. The results of the tournament determine the winner of the title and also the standings of the other teams.
Golfers Will Compete In Big Six Tourney
Coach William Shannon probably will use Jack Hines, Bill Winey, Phil Wade, and Peter Macdonald in an effort to give Kansas a championship. Oklahoma, undefeated in Big Six competition this season, is favored to capture the title, but either Missouri or Kansas could upset the favorites.

A.D. Pi's, Corbin Hall Chi O's, Harmon Win In Women's Softball
Three of the closest games of the season were played in the woman's intramural softball tournament Wednesday, when Alpha Delta Pi defeated Gamma Phi Beta, 2-1, Chi Omega won over the Independents, 4-3, and Corbin hall defeated Locksley, 4-1. Harmon Co-op won over Alpha Omicron Pi, 12-2, in a later game.
Each team was fighting for honors in its division and for qualification into the semi-finals. Land and Anderson pulled through a win for Alpha Delta Pi over Gamma Phi's Urban and Brown. Curtis and Jones for Chi Omega held down the Independents, whose battery was Strobel and Stuber. Corbin's Horseman, and Pyle scored their second win against Locksley's strong battery, VanderSmisson and Bedell, giving Corbin second chance for honors in its division. Battery for Harmon was Stoll and Bozarth, and for Alpha Omicron Pi, Voth and Burthscher.
In a late game Tuesday, Tipperary hall defeated Harmon 9-1. Battery for Tipperary was Cultra and Lenski and for Harmon, Stinebaugh and Stoll.
19 Tracksters Go To N.U. Tomorrow
Nineteen Jayhawker tracksters will leave at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning for the Big Six outdoor track and field meet at Lincoln, Neb. Coach Ray Kanehl and trainer Dean Nesmith will accompany the team.
The Jayhawkers are determined to upset favored Nebraska and bring home the championship. It will be a close meet, and a bad break in one or two events might spell the difference between victory and defeat. If the Kansans win the title, it will be the first for the Jayhawkers since 1934.

G.I. Goes Courting In Paris Armed With Double Malts, Banana Splits
(By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN)
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Paris (UP)—You think, like I used to think, that an American Gl woos a Parisien mademoiselle with cognac and a dish of truffles? Haw! He does a better job of it, and quicker, with a double chocolate malted.
It's the doggoneed thing I ever saw—French cuties being lured into big evenings by American city slickers using pineapple marshmalow sundaes with cherries and whipped cream on top as bait.
Who among the lovelies of Paris wants bubbly water when she can get a genuine double dip strawberry ice cream soda and two straWS that signal with slupping noises her need for a refill? The champagne Charlles have not got a chance
The scene of this gooey debauchery is a genuine American soda fountain known as the Sugar Bowl and operated by the army on Rue Du Havre. It is smack dab against the department store Printemps, where floor walkers wear Prince Alberts and salesgirls hope against hope to be invited next door.
The Sugar Bowl, called also GI Heaven, is a conscious effort by experts in the psychology of home-sickness to drop into the center of Paris a piece of Wichita, Kan., or perhaps Pittsburgh, Pa.
It's all there—a row of gleaming malted swiseroes, a red tank that gushes cokes, jars of chopped nuts, syrup pumps, and—behind piles of banana split dishes on the back bar—a mural depicting the Statue of Liberty. Miss Liberty looks pretty happy and well fed as if she also had just consumed a three-flavor special with pecans and caramel syrup.
An ice cream soda costs 10 francs or about eight cents. A malted for his girl sets back a khaki-clad swain 17 francs. I ordered up a chocolate ice cream soda for myself, and the French waitress, a pert trick with blite eyes and a fluffy apron, said:
"Hokay beeg boy, eets coming up"
She said she spoke no English. Whatever it was she did speak car-
d a Brooklyn accent. I hope this spatch does not sound too spoof-
ly, because it is remarkable how od that soda tasted. I've only seen without sweets now for two weeks, and I crave sugar like De Quincy craved opium. So the Sugar
Bowl not only promotes romance and cements internation relations in rich chocolate sauce, but it provides calories where calories most are needed. That isn't all.
The upstairs, reserved for hardened rounders, is a beer and ice cream parlor. I wish I were young again and had a zinc lined stomach. Then I could follow the custom and drink my beer with my ice cream, alternating sips and bites until the time came to order more beer and ice cream.
The Sugar Bowl's fame has spread so far and the demand for the gooey refreshments has become so wide that numerous enterprising Frechmen have set up their own soda parlors. The poor devils simply have not got the knack or the ingredients
Their ice cream is watery sherbet. They use siphon bottles to make sodas. Their sweetening is saccharine, and their signs "American soda fountain" are downright libelous to an institution I never realized before was so important.
Western Kansas Wheat Shows
Highest Acreage Yields
Manhattaq. (UP) — Western Kansas counties took average-yield-per-acre wheat honors in 1945, Harry Baird, extension district agent at Kansas State College, has reported
The ten high counties in the state in average wheat yield per acre were Stanton, 31.6 bushels; Hamilton, 30.4; Cheyenne, 30.1; Kearny, 28; Wallace, 28; Lane, 25.6; Rawlins, 24.9; Wichita; 24; Grant, 23.7; and Scott, 22.7. The average state yield was 15.5
Hamilton county harvested 128,000 acres for a total production of 3,891,000 bushels. Although 50 counties harvested more acres than Hamilton county, only 12 had a greater total production of wheat. Thomas county was first in total production with 5,600,950 bushels harvested on 252,570 acres, at an average yield of 22.2 ancre.
Ford county's 402,000 acres were the largest number harvested. The average yield was 11.3 bushels and total production 4,543,000 bushels.
Sugar has 70 non-food industrial uses.
Freckles Are 'The Vogue' In Hollywood
Hollywood. (UP) — The new fad in Hollywood is freckles, and Paramount, which has installed a "freckling" department in its makeup salon, bets you'll be applying them soon, too.
If you're born with freckles, makeup artist Wally Westmore says, display them proudly. If you don't have 'em, you can get them from Westmore without even going out in the sun.
Betty Hutton, who has some freckles herself, got the movie stars freckle-conscious when she picked as her favorite photograph a color shot in which all her freckles are prominently shown.
Other freckle-faces started showing them off, among them Paulette Goddard, Veronica Lake, Myrna Loy and Diana Lynn.
Then Westmore installed his freckling department, for the benefit of stars who spend too much time under the kleig lights to get out under the sun.
A technician has received careful training in the highly developed art of applying freckles of all shapes, sizes and shades.
The department came in hand during the filming of the new co-starring picture for Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald — "Welcome Stranger" in which young Wanda Hendrix has an important role.
Miss Hendrix, recently signed by Paramount, has a "peaches and cream" complexion. Not a freckle anywhere, she says.
Her role called for her to portray a typical 12-year-old freckle-faced youngster. As a result, she reports early each morning to Westmore's new freckling department for a liberal application of small, light-toned, early-spring shade freckles.
"I left them on when I went home the first day," she said, "and my mother wanted to know if I played hookey and went to the beach. The good thing about Mr. Westmore's freckles is that you can be sure you'll get them where you want them."
Westmore himself predicts his freckles will take their place along with the upswept hairdo, runproof leg makeup, cakeless powder, painted toenails and artificial eyelashes.
Pike's Peak is named in honor of Zebulon Montgomery Fike, who was unable to complete the ascent of the mountain during a nineteenth century expedition.

Voting At UN Mock Conference Will Reflect K.U. 'World' Attitude
487024
Voting at the mock United Nations conference Saturday in Hoch auditorium will show not only the sentiments of the nations of the security but also the way K.U. students are thinking on world problems, Donald Ong, chairman of the planning committee, said today
Students who have not signed up for active participation but who wish to attend the conference as spectators may ask any questions they wish during the sessions, Ong stated. The audience will be polled by written slips.
by written instructions.
The various issues will be discussed, followed by a polling of the security council. This poll will show the attitude the 11 nations actually have toward the problems. A vote of the general assembly will be taken, in which students will be asked to respond with their individual opinions. Ong explained. This will give K.U. students' attitudes toward these same issues.
SATELLITE 90-minute rest period from 10:55 a.m. to 11:05 a.m., has been arranged before the discussions of the Spanish question by Robert Bock and atomic bomb control by Richard Scovel.
Committee reports will be given at 10:15. The committees and the representatives who will report from them are trusteeship, Kathleen Howland; scocial, humanitarian, and cultural, Dale Judy; legal, Shirley Wellborn; political and security, Terry Herritt; economic and financial committee, Patricia Creel, and economic and social council, Keith Wilson.
The morning session will begin at 10 a.m. with the welcoming address by Chancellor Deane W, Malott.
The economic and social council is the only one of the committees provided for by the Constitution of the United Nations and includes 18 nations. The other five committees were set up by the U.N. to conduct their own business in general assembly.
Peace treaties will be discussed during the afternoon session beginning at 2 p.m. Paul Mason will lead the discussion on the German treaty, Jim Crook on the Japanese treaty, and Hal Friesen on the Italian peace treaty.
Another 10-minute rest period will precede a summary by Buford Trebble, who will act as commentator.
The closing address by Norman Hill, author and political scientist, will begin at 3:25 p.m. Mr. Hill will be available for informal questioning after the conference adjourns, Ong said.
Tables for the delegates will be placed on the basketball floor in the shape of a V, coming to a point at the foot of the stage, Ong said. A
raised platform will be placed at the point for the use of the commentator. A microphone will be placed on this platform and another microphone on the stage on which the speakers will be seated.
Phillips, Inventor Of'Network Analyzer, To Instruct at K.U.
Emery B. Phillips, inventor of a "machine that will do nearly everything but think," will join the staff of the electrical engineering department in July, Dean J. O. Jones of the Engineering school announced today.
The "network analyzer" will solve any problem that can be expressed in algebraic terms. Simultaneous equations with an infinite number of unknowns can be solved by adding the required number of operating units to the original machine.
The "analyzer" will be delivered in July, Dean Jones said. It was originally scheduled to arrive in April.
Mr. Phillips will supervise the operation of his machine in addition to teaching several electrical engineering courses. He is on now on the Oklahoma A.M. staff at Stillwater, Okla.
All the electrical circuits of the most complicated power system can be simulated in miniature on the analyzer. Mathematical computations which could take months to complete can be determined in minutes or hours.
The machine also may be used for studying the transmission of sound, high frequency radio waves, flow of heat, and the flow of water or other fluids through pipe systems. Studies in these fields at the University will be made by research staffs and advanced students.
Sociology Club Meets Tonight
Miss Dorothy Einert of the South- hard school of Topeka will speak at a meeting of the Sociology club in room 110 Fraser hall at 7:30 p.m. today. Her subject will be the group work program at the Southhard school. Election of officers will be held.

'Step Up Folks,' The Carnival's Coming to Town
"Step right up folks, try your skill, only one cent, one hundredth part of a dollar, hurry . . . hurry."
Such sounds will come from the Military Science building tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. when the University band and orchestra hold their spring carnival. The carnival is for members of the band and orchestra. It is the first one the organizations have held, according to Frank Stalzer, student band director.
A dozen booths featuring everything from ring tosses and penny pitching to gambling with roulette and dice games, will be the central attraction, Stalzer said.
Bob Wilson's band from Kansas City will play for the dance beginning at 9 p.m.
A floor show of band and visiting talent will present a program at intermission, Prof. Russell Wiley said.
About 75 persons attended the initiation meeting of the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical association in Bailey Chemical laboratories Tuesday night. J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, presided.

But at a press conference today, the technical directors of the tests said that their primary interest is in the supersolar heat the bomb develops, its unearthly pressures, and the weird nuclear effects.
Washington, (UP) — When the atomic bombs go off at Blikini atoll this summer, the main scientific interest will be not in what their super blast does to target naval ships but in the efficiency with which their insides are converted into energy.
The tests have been advertised as being designed primarily to find out the effect of the new weapon on navies.
Rear Adm. William S. Parsons, deputy commander of the tests and the navy's number one nuclear physicist, said scientists hoped to take advantage of the category of myth and to reduce it to an understandable reality.
Their secondary interest will be in the
steel, fighting ships.
"The first priority," he said, "is to test the bomb as something producing temperatures such as were never observed before on this earth, and to measure its tremendous pressures.
"The second priority will be to measure the effect of the bomb on birds."

Scotch Is Scotch, But Where Can You Buy It Now, Anyway?
Chicago. (UP)—Ten whisky-gulping experts came up for air today and decided that Scotch is Scotch, whether it's made in Scotland or the United States.
The ten self-styled experts announced their findings after taking a blindfold test in which they tasted four brands of imported Scotch and two brands of domestic, Scotch-type whisky.
The test was held by the Illinois state liquor control commission, which wanted to prove that domestic Scotch is just as good as Scottish Scotch.
Charles Fleck, chairman of the commission, said the test had proved it. Hereafter, he said, Illinois will relax its whiskey law, so that domestic brands may be labeled American Scotch, instead of Scotch-type whiskey or imitation Scotch.
The test was conducted in the office of the Illinois commerce commission. The first official imbiber was Ben Paul, who owns a wholesale liquor company. Paul said he ought to know. He buys thousands of gallons of Scotch every year.
So he sniffed and sipped and missed four out of six guesses.
Frank Weaver, president of the Illinois liquor store association, did better. He got four out of six right.
"After two drinks," said John Mack, hotel president, "all it proved to me was that Scotch is something to drink and I wanted more."
Bald-headed James O'Brien, editor of the Illinois Beverage Journal, was the last man at the bar. He downed six drinks in a hurry and guessed right six times.
"Which proves what?" he asked. "I never drink Scotch anyway. I'm a Bourbon man."
Then he added:
"The whole thing is inconclusive because where can you buy Scotch now anyway?"

Engineers Developed Bomb, Vagtborg Says
"Today's science is tomorrow's engineering and the next day's industry," Dr. Harold A. Vaatborg, president of the Midwest Research Institute of Kansas City, told about 300 persons at the annual Engineer Banquet Wednesday night.
"An excellent example of this is the atom bomb." Dr. Vagtborg said. "This bomb was experimented with by scientists for a number of years, but engineers developed it for working use and industry produced it."
Dr. Vagtborg stressed the importance of "Imagineering" to the group.
"Just because science has conducted research on a new method or device nad has failed to attain success, don't consider the task impossible. Application of basic knowledge rather than carrying on the reearch of others is many times helpful. Just remember that where others may fail you may succeed." Dr. Vagtborg concluded.

UN Defers Albania's Request To Join
New York. (UP) — The United Nations Security council today unanimously adopted an American proposal to defer for two months action on Albania's long-pending request to join the UN, which Russia supports and the United States and Great Britain oppose.
Russia today handed the council's subcommittee investigating Spain a document which reportedly listed examples of close cooperation between the German and Spanish general staffs during the war.
The council adjourned without setting a date for its next meeting.
American Request for Food Too Late, Stalin Says
Washington. (UP) — Soviet Premier Josef Stalin has, in effect, rejected an appeal by President Truman for Russian help in the world food crisis, it was learned today.
Stalin said the American request was too late.
The tone of Stalin's letter has irked President Truman, who told his news conference yesterday that the United States was doing more to help the food crisis than any other nation.
Byrnes Returns For Big Four Report
Paris. (UP)—Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and his delegation left for Washington in a U.S. army plane today to tell the American people why the big four conference failed.
Byrnes said, however, that he was not discouraged. He hoped the next session, June 15, would reach major agreements, although the past three weeks' talks have only heightened the deadlock between Russia and the Western powers.
Allied Tribunal Rejects
Plea To Dismiss Too's Trial
Tokyo. (UP)—The Allied military tribunal ruled today that it was a fair court which can pass judgment in the Japanese war criminal trial without prejudice.
Deliberating only four minutes, the tribunal rejected all defense motions to dismiss charges against Hideki Tojo and his co-defendants. The defense had claimed that judges representing victorious nations could not act impartially toward their defeated enemies.
Wavell, Gandhi Approve British Plan
London. (UP)—Viceroy Wavell of India said in a broadcast over the New Delhi radio today that the British proposals for India constituted a "blueprint of freedom."
Also informed sources said that Mohandas K. Gandhi probably will advise the all-India Congress party to accept the British government plan on a trial basis.
This expectation contrasted with reports from Moslem league quarters that M. A. Jinnah probably would remain aloof from the proposed interim regime although he may permit individual league members to join it.
Railroad Places Embargo
Chicago. (UP) — The Burlington railroad today placed an embargo on livestock and perishable freight that cannot reach its destination by noon tomorrow. The embargo was placed to avoid a pile-up of perishable goods and livestock in the event of a railroad strike.
Truman Orders Seizure Of U.S. Railroads
BULLETIN
Washington. (UP)—President Truman today ordered government seizure of the nation's railroads immediately after being advised by union leaders that they could not settle their dispute with the carriers.
The seizure was the government's final effort to head off the nation-wide strike called for 4 p.m. Saturday. But there was no certainty that the railroad men would work even for the government.
Washington. (UP)—President Truman called a conference with railroad union and management representatives this afternoon in an 11th hour effort to prevent tomorrow's strike without seizure of the carriers.
President Truman told his news conference yesterday that he still was hopeful of a settlement in the deadlocked railroad dispute, but reiterated his intention to take over the lines if no agreement was reached before tomorrow's strike deadline.
The rejection of arbitration proposals in the coal controversy apparently left the President with no choice but to exert his wartime seizure powers to keep the mines running after expiration of a two-week strike truce May 25.
In a letter to the President, the operators indicated willingness to arbitrate questions of wages and hours, but not Lewis' demand for a $70,000,000-a-year welfare fund to be financed by the industry and administered by the union.
An army air force spokesman said today the air transport command is making plans to take over and operate about 1,000 freight and passenger planes in event of a railroad strike. These planes belong to private, non-scheduled air lines.
Negotiations between the railroads and the brotherhoods of railroad trainmen and locomotive engineers were broken off after a 45-minute meeting yesterday at which management rejected a new wage proposal offered by the unions.

Our Daily Bread
The University food conservation committee began its work in earnest this week. They will make a concerted effort to secure full student cooperation in the program of saving food.
Their campaign will not be restricted to one particular plan but will try to attack the problem from every possible angle to accomplish the maximum good.
The primary aim of their campaign is to get all students to pledge to eat one breadless meal each day. Members of the committee will visit organized houses on the campus to obtain all possible support for this idea and to impress upon the students the necessity of eliminating food waste and conserving scarce fats and oils. Though independent students are harder to reach on such things, the committee hopes they will co-operate on their own initiative.
The Union cafeteria will be asked to eliminate the serving of cake and to serve only one slice of bread with each meal. It is also planned to have a plate of food on display each day at the cafeteria showing a typical meal in one of the famine countries.
The committee is preparing menus to be sent to houseothers showing how source food can be conserved and how diets can be supplemented with more plentiful foods.
Recognizing that the present shortage of food will probably last into next year, the committee will also ask organizations to cut down on banquets during the rest of this semester and during the next school year.
A special box will be provided at the I.S.A. dance Saturday night for food contributions in connection with the food collection drive.
The committee will endeavor to secure a convocation speaker for next fall who has a thorough knowledge of the world-wide food conditions.
Committee members will also talk with all Hill restaurant operators and ask that they co-operate by reducing the amount of bread they serve with meals.
This is the program that has been planned. Its success or failure will be in direct proportion to the co-operation given it by the student body.
There should be little doubt in anyone's mind about the seriousness of the situation and its magnitude. It cannot be solved by any group of persons or any government agency. The basic responsibility rests on every individual.
The University food conservation committee has made the kick-off. It is now up to you and me to carry the ball.
Chubb And Gagliardo Favor Welfare Fund For Miners
Favor of a miners welfare fund, disapproval of union administration of this fund, and possible government control of the mines were discussed by two University professors with a Daily Kansan reporter Thursday.
The two men were Prof. H. B. Chubb, department of political science, and Prof. D. Gagliardo, department of economics.
Professor Chubb felt that it is unreasonable for Lewis to want sole control of welfare fund management. "It will give unions more control of the administration of the mines and a whip-hand over the miners."
"Very desirable," Professor Gagliardo replied when questioned as to his feeling about the fund. "My major objection is that it is intended to be administered by but one person. Every one is interested in a problem of welfare."
Professor Chubb favored the plan of putting a sum equal to 7 per cent of the payroll into a welfare fund, and also favored government mediation.
"The government has got to be the arbitrator," he said "because it is the public that is being pinched. Unfortunately, we always wait until a crisis and then pass prejudiced legislation."
The question of what should be done if the matter is not settled during the "back to work" truce brought an emphatic answer from Professor Gagliardo.
"It is foolish to say that our
government cannot operate the mines if necessary. There may be less efficiency but it can be done," he declared.
"Do you mean to suggest that in a nation of 140 million people a mere 800 thousand can force their will? To say that a nation that has just won a war could not run a few coal mines is silly!"
Professor Chubb took the other side of the argument and felt that were the miners to refuse to work for the government, nothing could be done to force them.
"And what if the miners refuse to work?" the reporter asked.
And who will pay the price of the strike, the increase in wages, and the welfare fund royalty?

Education Restricted To Books Produces 'Educated Fools'
She is formerly of Clay Center.
By KENNETH BEASLEY
Some years ago the heir to the throne of the Middle East country came to the United States. His purpose was to avail himself of the wonderful opportunity that existed here in the line of education. After a somewhat lengthy stay, he went back to his little backward country, and with him went some five different degrees which he had received from some of our leading universities.
In just a matter of a few years his father died and he found himself at the head of the government. One of his ministers remarked to him that he should certainly be able to do something for his country, considering all of the education he had. The new ruler replied somewhat sadly; "I wish I could do something, but all of my knowledge is in books. I am just an educated fool."
These three words "an educated fool," are the greatest significant postwar problem that this university or any university has to face. It is a problem which has been greatly accentuated by various war developments.
We have been repeatedly made to realize the importance of education and how much the future of the world depends upon that one factor, an educated citizenry. In reality, its importance has almost been overemphasized to the point where we consider the road to eternal peace is the road leading through four years of college.
It has been so over emphasized that we now consider that success in the material or spiritual sense is dependent upon those letters following one's name. And those who don't have them, we say, are doomed to a position of just existing, incapable of progressive thought, incapable of giving service to the progress of civilization.
The strange thing about this problem is that this one is that cannot be charged to the administration, and it is one that cannot be charged against the faculty. We, the students, are responsible for this wrong concept of what education is and what its practical value is because we have failed to use our power of reasoning on the subject. Therefore,
since it is a student-caused problem, it must necessarily be a student-answered problem.
That this parasite of false conception of education is undermining this campus and daily recruiting new believers is evidenced by three particular incidents that have happened here. The first, since it is the most recent of the three, deals with the proposed United Nations conference here on May 18.
The committee working on this program, I have been told, are faced with the difficulty of finding 31 people out of the 5,000 enrolled here to serve as chairman of the various delegations. Seemingly no one has time to study the problems of tomorrow. Such percentage of interest among the leaders of tomorrow does not speak too good about what the future will be like.
The second reason that indicates that the students have strayed from the fold of the true meaning and purpose of education is the lack of attendance at many of the concerts and lectures given here by people of authority.
At these functions, the sole purpose of which is to broaden our cultural outlook, the proportion of townspeople and faculty members is altogether out of proportion with the attendance of the student body. This is just a case of not seeing the forest for the trees.
The third reason that suggests that the student should re-examine the aims and goal of an education is the lack of support at the America at Peace lectures sponsored by the faculty to present general background material on our problem of today.
At one of these meetings, the chairman actually offered a public apology to the speaker for the small attendance that evening.
These are the facts. They can be substantiated by more if desired. The picture painted appears quite dark, but not so dark but that applied energy upon the part of each student could lighten it considerably.
No one denies that it helps to know that there were four crusades during the middle ages, that Milton
Letter to the Editor . . .
Capper Forgets Duty As Congressman, Says Sailor
To the Daily Kansan: In the May 10 issue of the Daily Kansan there appeared an article which was a bit amusing to me.
This article concerned the letter received from Senator Arthur Capper in reply to a telegram sent to him by the A.S.C. asking continuation of the O.P.A.
In the senator's letter he said, "Like you, I realize the danger inherent in any wild inflationary development especially when demand exceeds supply. However, I feel that the O.P.A. should be discontinued and bureaucratic controls relaxed."
I am not voicing a personal opinion either way on this matter, but I think that Senator Capper should be sent letters and telegrams informing him that he was elected to represent the people and to act as the people want him to and that he is not privileged to run the country any way that he himself sees fit.
It is my belief that a large number of the country's representatives have forgotten that they are representatives, and not rulers and that out country's government is still "by the people, and for the people."

Primitive, Classic, Cowboy Dances Are Features of Tau Sig Recital
If you hear a Shostakovich waltz or "Sentimental Journey" as you pass Robinson gymnasium at night during the next two weeks, it will be neither a Fine Arts recital nor a songstress after one of the intramural games.
It is a part of the preparation of Tau Sigma, dance sorority, for its invitational recital to be given in Fraser theater on May 29.
Miss Gloria Smith, instructor in physical education, leads the 24 members through various types of interpretative dances.
"Percussion" means more to the members of Tau Sigma than a set of drums at the rear of an orchestra. In dancing, it is the beating of two surfaces together. In a primitive ritual dance now being prepared, the rhythm is made by beating the hands and feet on the floor, with no musical accompaniment.
Light and heavy dancing are differentiated by level of the movements, Miss Smith said. In heavy dancing, low levels are used with dancers working near the ground. Sinister and unnatural events may be insinuated.
Light dancing employs movements that are made upward. The interpretation of the Shostakovich waltz is as light as the Golliwogg's Cakewalk because of the nature of the music and the manner of dancing that is in harmony with the style of the composition.
Tau Sigma does not restrict its interpretation to conventional numbers where graceful movements of torso, arms and legs serve to convey the means of music.
A medley of cowboy ballads will be presented in the program. The dancers come in as if on horses. All the activities of a cowboy's day are interpreted by a series of movements lasting only a few minutes.
This invitational recital is the first one to be presented by the group, Miss Smith said. The main difficulty in presenting a program now is that of obtaining material for costumes. The costumes for this program are being made of dyed feed sacks.

William A. White's Autobiography Chronicles His Successful Career
A. H.
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
(By United Press)
**
"The Autobiography of William Allen White" (Macmillan) is a chapter from the pages of America. It is the story of a successful American, not success measured in riches or position, but the success that comes with being a sane leader who fights for justice and security for all in this nation.
William Allen White has become a legend as the "Sage of Emporia." In his autobiography, which was left incomplete by his death in 1944, White charmingly and honestly chronicles one of the most-amazing careers in journalism.
White's fame as a newspaperman was international. He knew the great and the small. Born in Emporia in 1858, he began his brilliant career as an editor in 1895, when he purchased the Gazette and settled

down to edit it for almost half a century.
White, as he depicts, had vanity and a conscience. He wanted success, he says, and he found it. He liked to mingle and put his influence behind the politicians, whether on a national or a county scale. But his conscience and his biting editorial pen led him to support virtually every advance in science, economics and politics. Doing that on a "country newspaper" does not always make for a successful one. The editor阻拦 against evil
The editor crusaded against evil but he was never one to hold grudges. As an impartial editor, White looked always for both sides of a question, sometimes to the fault
White was an intellectual adventurer, forever seeking the why and wherefore. He either sought out or was sought out through the years by virtually every one worth knowing.
of finding some good even in an incurably "bad" person.
He was a power in Republican politics. His autobiography is as crystal clear as his editorials and the reader is the richer for knowing those who figured in Republican politics.
To weigh the scales to find in what field the man contributed the most would be difficult, but to say that at least as a public servant he offered as much as any man would not be far from the truth. Probably his greatest contribution came in his fight against the Ku Klux Klan. Sane and clear, he warned again and again against the swelling economic balloon which burst finally in 1929.
White never did find quite the answer to what he thought was the

Regretfully. White died before he could finish his autobiography. The autobiography encompasses the years from 1868 and 1923, the point at which he was interrupted. However, his son takes up* from there with letters, editorials and unpublished material left by his father and completes it in commendable fashion.

They Eat Cake, Candy, and Doughnuts, But
'Let Us Have Lettuce' Is Motto Of Spooner Men
Rabbit food? Well, maybe . .
The men at Spooner hall like lettuce, too.
"And they like it plain—no fancy trimmings for them," says "housemother" Sam Elliott.
He should know, because he helps them operate their own snack-bar in Spooner hall at 10 every night.
It isn't every day they get as much lettuce as they did recently, though.
On a shopping tour one afternoon Mr. Elliott saw some nice looking lettuce in one of the stores. He asked for five or six heads to take to his "boys," and before he was through talking to the merchant, he found he had not six, but 27 heads of lettuce—all there was in the store.
That was the most popular item on the counter that night according to the Spooner "housemother." The men ate 24 of the heads and put the other three on ice to stay fresh for the next night.
"No salads are served at the Spooner lunch counter," he said. "The fellows just cut the lettuce heads in two and eat them as they would eat apples. They say it's better that way."
'And I got all that for 25 cents, he added.
Other popular items at the Spooner snack bar are cake, doughnuts, pie, milk (both plain and chocolate), candy bars, and the two gallons of coffee that Mr. Elliott makes for them every night. He makes the coffee in Fraser hall and carries it to the lunch counter in a two-gallon milk can.
Financed by the men, the lunch bar has been in operation since shortly, after the beginning of the semester, Mr. Elliott said. To start it, each man gave 25 cents to buy the first night's food supply. Since then, the enterprise has paid for itself.
Day-old cakes and pies, and other bakery goods are bought for half-price, and sold by the piece cheaply enough, so all the men can afford to patronize the counter, but at the same time make enough money to replenish the supply for the next night.
The men help do the shopping,
and have a lot of fun doing it, Mr.
liott said. They sell their milk

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
A lad who only a few short months ago was downing 15 eggnogs daily because he was so underweight today is the most bombastic tennis player in the Big Six.
He is Roy Shoaf, Topeka, who paced Kansas to its first conference net championship since 1937 with a near perfect individual season. The Jayhawkers need only to bump off Nebraska, whom they already have blasted once, Saturday at Lincoln, to close an undefeated season.
A large chunk of the credit should go to Shoaf, now a 200-pounder who lashes the ball with all the gentleness of a Ted Williams. Playing No. 1 all season, Big Roy has chopped down eight consecutive opponents and dropped only one set in 18, spearheading the Mt. Oread foursome to seven wins and two ties. He and his doubles partner, Bob Groom, also are undefeated.
Manning grabbed the middle set, 9-7, after Shoaf took the first one by the same count. The big Topekan roared out of a 0-4 deficit in the third stanza to knot the count at 5-5 before rain halted the rally.
That's the kind of a player Shoaf has been all spring. He and Groom have swept from behind four times this season to pull out doubles tiffs that were needed for K.U. victory. Shoak doesn't let things bother him. Against Manning he bagged five games in a drizzle that turned K.U.'s cement courts into a slippery dance floor.
Roy dropped his first singles set of the season in last Friday's dank dreariness to Rip Manning, clever Missourian, who played the dark-haired blaster to a tie although Kansas was clinching the title with a freak. 1-0 triumph.
Shoaf lost the avoirdupois while serving a hitch in a German prison at Barth. He was captured by the Nazis, when shot down on a B-17 bombing mission just five miles from Allied lines. The ship which Shoaf piloted was hit over Berlin and managed to limp almost back to friendly ground when the last engine puffed out. That was November '44.
Roy doesn't care to talk much about German prison life. "It was simply that nobody got enough to eat," he explains. "They didn't treat us too badly."
When he was picked out of prison camp at the war's end, Shoaf wasn't in good shape. He had wasted from 200 pounds to 128. In addition he was troubled with continual chest pains. Army doctors prescribed tennis as a cure for the latter. Swinging a raquet would loosen his chest and rebuild sagging muscles, they said. This wasn't a difficult routine for the former flier. He picked up a raquet at every opportunity in addition to gulping down the dozen or so daily egg-nogs.
Shaof's victory over Washburn's Johnny Christner, the little left-hander who has long been in the king row of Topeka, raquet-wielders, when the two met this month in a Jayhawker-Ichabod dual, was the signal for a lot of lifted eyebrows in this territory.
The towering Jayhawkhe—he is 6-feet 4-inches—was just another tennis player in the weater of talent at Topeka high. He wasn't too high ranked in city play. But today it's a different story. Shoaf surprised Christner, 7-5, 7-5, and it was no accident.
Of Shofa, his coach says: "He is without doubt the best player in the Big Six. He chills 'em with that backhand."
The husky bomber loves to take 'em on his off-side and is just as sharp down the line as he is cross-court. In addition he owns a booming serve that has produced 155 aces this spring.
Roy entered K.U. in the fall of 1940, but by the time he became a sophomore in 1942, war had lifted tennis off the Big Six sports calendar. He went into the army air corps in August '42, gaining the rank of first lieutenant. Now he is a pre-medic and a straight A student.
Track, Tennis, Golf Team Members Look For Season Laurels At Lincoln
Kansas' track, tennis, and golf teams are in Linecoln today and Saturday for the annual Big Six championship battles for spring sports. The Jayhawkers already have clinched the Big Six tennis title, and they hope to score upsets to win the track and golf pennants.
The Jayhawker netmen play Nebraska tomorrow, and a victory will give the Kansans an undefeated season. Kansas won the title by beating Missouri in an abbreviated match last week. but they haven't let up and are out to

defeat the Cornhuskers tomorrow.
The Jayhawker tracksters are scheduled to battle the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Missouri Tigers, and Oklahoma Sooners for the outdoor track and field championship. The closest meet in the Big Six history has been forecast.
The Jayhawkers will be weak in the dashes and hurdles, but they hope to overcome this with additional strength in the middle distance races. Johnny Jackson has not been defeated in the 440 this year, and Wallace Desterhaft has run close seconds to Jackson in the past two dual meets.
Kansas will pin its hopes for the title on the weight men, Charlie Black, Leroy Robison, and Karl Ebel. If these three ace performers can pick up 20-25 points in the field events, Kansas will be hard to beat. Black, who has been high scorer in the past two dual meets, may repeat in this capacity at Lincoln.
Harold Hinchee and Andy Lunsford present a real challenge to other 880-yard run contestants. Both are slated to give Dean Kratz, Nebraska's defending champion, a battle for top honors in this event.
Harold Moore will bear most of the burden in the distance races for Kansas. He will run the mile and two-mile races. If Moore can come through, the Jayhawkers should build up a big enough margin in the middle distance $d$ distance, and field events to take the championship.
The Jayhawker linkmen also will compete in the annual Big Six golf tournament. Oklahoma is heavily favored to win, but the Jayhawkers would like to take second place in the final conference standings. Missouri, Kansas State, and Kansas will battle for the runner-up spot to the Sooners.
The Jayhawkers won four and lost five matches this season against Big Six schools, but they hope to do better with that experience under their belts.

Dog Forfeits $1,200 Left By Mistress
Philadelphia. (UP) — An aging Boston Terrier named Boots has walked out on a $1,200 trust fund which would have kept him in bones for the rest of his life.
Boots received his legacy in June 1944, when his doting mistress, an 81-year-old widow, died.
For some time, Boots lived the life of the rich, but apparently he wasn't happy. Early last year, the nine-year-old Terrier just up and left home where he had been in the care of his mistress' aunt and principle legatee of the estate. He never returned.
So Orphans Court Judge Grover C. Ladner ended the trust fund and declared Boots had forfeited his inheritance.

Patton Is Given Belated Credit For Planning St. Lo Breakthrough
New York. (UP) — Gen. George S. Patton, even though dead, was right back today where he always liked to be—in the middle of a hot argument.
Col. Brenton G. Wallace, a staff officer under "Blood and Guts," has written a book called "Patton and the Third Army", which is sure to burn the army's brass.
Wallace claims that Patton was chiefly responsible both for the planning and execution of the famous St. Lo breakthrough, which swept on past Avranches and eventually hurdled all the German armies out of France.
Battle plan credit, up until now, has gone uncontested to shrewd Gen-Omar N. Bradley, who later commanded the 12th Army Group, and many experts have laid the brilliant execution of the plan at the door of Lt. Gen. Joseph L. (Lightning Joe) Collins, a corps commander in the First army.
But Wallace, who served as assistant chief of staff in G-3 (liaison) for the Third army writes:
- * *
"The First Army was given credit, whereas General Patton planned it and executed it and used not only First Army troops but also a number of his own Third Army units."
Wallace, however, gives Bradley credit for his foresight in placing Patton "in charge of the breakthrough itself."
With his Third Army dander really up, the Colonel also charges that the rolling Thirders — presumably after they captured Argentan — were ordered to stop in their tracks and not allowed to close the bloody Falaise gap, which would have trapped the entire German Seventh Army and might have ended the war then and there.
"A restraining line was placed along the north of our present positions behind which we were not to move," alliance said. "History may one dayplain this matter more fully."
Theat Shortage Closes Russell Milling Company
Russell. (UP)—The Russell Milling company, normally processing some 1,100 barrels of flour daily, today announced it would shut town immediately because of the heat shortage.
Mill officials said stocks on hand would be held here in an effort to supply the town's needs. They indicated that with careful use by consumers, the supply should be adequate to meet needs until wheat becomes more plentiful.
Commission Suggests Group To Insure Freedom of Press
New York. (UP)—The United Nations commission on human rights recommended today the creation of a subcommission to assure worldwide freedom of information and of the press.
The commission over-rode an objection by Alexander Borisov against referring to the subcommission all documents received, without regard or their source.

Baker U. Professor Returns from Europe
Baldwin—Dr. Harold W. Guest, head of the economics department at Baker university, returned to Baldwin Monday after 10 months in Europe.
Dr. Guest taught at the Army university at Biarritz from July to March. When the school closed he was transferred to Germany for a lecture tour for enlisted men.

Topcka. (UP)—A delegation from Hartford, scheduled to be flooded by the dammed up waters of the Neosho river under a flood control program, today was to discuss the town's plight with state officials.
Allies To Blame For Rise of Nazism Funk Tells Court
Robert V. Smrah, senior engineer of the state's water resources division, said present plans called for complete flooding of the Lyon county town of 491 persons by a reservoir to be located below the confluence of the cottonwood and upper Neosho rivers.
The rebuilding of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake was so successful, London officials applied to San Francisco officials for guidance in the postwar reconstruction of London.
Nuerberg. (UP)—Walther Funk, former Nazi economics minister, told the war crimes court today that the Allied reparations policy after the last war caused Germany's economic collapse, widespread unemployment, and mass dissatisfaction.
Funk, testifying in his own defense, sought to put the blame for the rise of Nazism on the Allies.
"It was absolute nonsense that Germany should pay tribute on the one hand while on the other the creditor nations should refuse to have the debt paid in the only possible way—by goods and services," Funk said.
He blamed the international race to build tariff walls, "especially in America," for the 1929 depression.
Funk admitted that he thought Germany's problems "could not have been solved through economic measures alone." He therefore supported the fuhrer principle, he said, because "the democratic parliamentary system was unsuccessful in Germany with no tradition in it."
Funk pictured himself as a holder of titles without responsibility in both the economic and propaganda fields. He attributed most of the responsibility to Hitler, but reserved a measure of economic determination for Hermann Goering.
The witness admitted that he supported Nazi laws excluding German Jews from cultural life, since he regarded them as a "pernicious influence—non-German and not artistic, especially in the fields of painting and music."
Egyptian King Plans Campaign
Jerusalem. (UP) — Arab leaders said today they believed King Farouk of Egypt was organizing a campaign to halt a swing of Arab states toward Russia. They made clear they do not expect Soviet help in Palestine.

Senate Plans Teen-Age Draft
Washington, (UP)—A new senate drive to draft teen-aged boys was touched off today by President Trumon's order for conscription of childless men 20 through 29 years of age.
Senate Democratic leader Alben W. Barkley announced that he will ask the senate to take up a teenage draft bill early next week.
The senate military affairs committee scheduled a meeting Tuesday to plan support for legislation authorizing conscription of the 18- and 19-year olds, including 80,000 students already found fit for service.
Teen-agers were exempted from the draft in the recent stop-gap extension of selective service until July 1. The new proposals would draft them after that date, and take the pressure off older men.
The senate previously has gone on record in favor of teen-age conscription for a limited time. The house would not agree.
President Truman, in a stinging robuke to congress, late yesterday stopped up the maximum draft age from 26 to 29 in an effort to save the "near wreckage" of the selective service system and make up for the loss of the teen-agers.
Mr. Truman told a news conference that he had signed the emergency draft extension reluctantly and only because "conditions would be worse without it." He pointed out that the act kept intact the draft machinery and preserved the veterans' reemployment rights.
The president said he had been informed by Lewis M. Hershey, selective service director, that the teen-age ban would reduce men under 28 who could be inducted each month from 35,000 to approximately 5,000.
Most men in the 26-through-29 category already have seen armed service or have been deferred on physical or occupational grounds.
Selective service said the president's raising the draft age will increase available manpower by only about 13,000 men, with perhaps one-half of these unit for induction. The 20 through 25-year class, it was estimated, would yield about 59,600 additional eligible draftees.
Officials Recover Haddam's Band Instruments in Idaho
Washington, Kan—Ed Peterson, sheriff, and H. N. Hyland, county attorney, Washington county, last week recovered 24 band instruments stolen from the Haddam High school building in February.
They drove to Pocatella, Idaho, where the thief had been arrested for another crime.
Life Can Be Beautiful and Fun With a Box,a Paint Brush,a Wire
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, but if he'd had more artistic sense, he might have appreciated the wall.
Speaking to the KU. Dames Wednesday in the Union, Arvid Jacobson, design professor, suggested that walls be painted such colors as red and coral making a long room appear shorter, and cool colors as blue to widen a room.
He told shortages forced him to make "ersatz" furniture from orange crates, joining the crates, stapling leather on the shelves, and covering the outside with a lunch cloth or wallpaper. He explained that a bookcase built on this order would cost approximately $1.10.
Mr. Jacobson advocated taking a small, wooden, inverted salad bowl and attaching strips of wood to the base, drawing wire through the wood to attach a bulb and lamp shade, making a substitute lamp.
He displayed slides of his Washington apartment, where he used peach, ivory, and blue-green to lighten the room color. He explained that dark colors on a high ceiling make it appear lower, and light colors on a low ceiling make it look higher. For room distinction, he advised using fiber board Venetian blinds, if your stay's temporary, and having the bed spreads match drapes.
Several persons wanted to know what to do with fire places in the summer. He said that putting tall plants in the fire place were decorative, but added that screens defeated
To make a room lighter, Mr. Jacobson suggested using colors that reflect the light, like yellow, green, and orange, and shunning reds—colors that absorb the light.
"Everybody wants to know what's behind the screen, so you might as well be really honest and try not to hide it from everybody," he replied.
the purpose.
In concluding, he suggested sewing several shag rups together and making one large rug to accent a room. For large, single rooms he advocated building partitions and painting the walls various light colors.
'No Place Like Home, Costa Rican Says
"You don't appreciate your home country until you get out of it," Jose Portuguez, engineering junior, who has been away from his native Costa Rica for three years, told Latin club members at Henley house Wednesday night.
A movie, "Americans All," was shown at the meeting.
"We are proud that Costa Rica has more teachers than soldiers and more schools than police stations. We are known in Europe and in the Americas because we have no army, no navy, and no air corps," the Costa Rican student continued. "Although many of the other Central American countries have dictatorships, Costa Rica has kept its democracy."
"One of our first presidents, Mauro Fernandes, became interested in Costa Rican education. He taught us to live in a democratic way. The rest of the presidents have followed this tradition."

Business School Graduate Saves Professors From Horrors of Scrawled, Illegible Papers
Faculty members may not know it, but Miss Martha Bone, of 1000 Mississippi street is saving some professional eye-straining and perhaps a few choice side-comments by taking a collection of scrawled, half-legible sheets of paper and converting them into a spick-and-span, typewritten thesis or term paper.
Miss Bone was graduated from the School of Education in 1929, and returned to Lawrence recently after working in the offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the War Production Board.
Her most difficult work this spring has been in typing the rough draft of a thesis in French, but she is helped along by a background in French and Spanish. Since there are no appropriate typewriter characters, the student must add his own foreign language accent marks with pen, after the thesis is finished, she added.
The job of typing papers for students often turns out to be a headache, Miss Bone said, laughing. Such things as distinguishing a "u" from an "n" provide the most trouble.
"I never make changes in spelling and punctuation unless the student has first agreed to allow me to make corrections," she explained, "but it is hard to let an obvious mistake pass."
"If the student will take a little extra time and care in preparing his paper so it will say what he wants it to say; a better job — and a better grade — will result," she said.
O.P.A. Must Keep Control, Seelye Says
"The Office of Price Administration must keep an essence of control for at least another year," Alfred Seelye, associate professor of economics, told the American Veterans committee at a meeting in the Kansas room of the Union Wednesday.
Professor Seeley returned to the University in February after four years with the O.P.A. in Washington, where he was head of the research department of the OPA, which analyzed prices and production with regard for establishing price ceilings.
"During World War I the wholesale prices were up about 98 per cent, while such prices during the last war increased 38 per cent. If price ceilings were taken off now, the inflationary prices increase would expand greatly," he said.
The price of food products went up during the war because the Farm block in Congress prevented the OPA from putting ceiling prices on farm products either raw or processed, he said. There was a great demand for agricultural materials so the prices went up rapidly.
Amendments now before Congress wish to eliminate subsidies, prohibit the OPA policy which regulates prices on reconversion items, and form a new base period for profits and prices, he said.

Literary Crisis Exists Now, Maurois Says
"France and America are going through a literary crisis but the time of construction and happiness will come back," Andre Maurois, French author, told a large audience in Fraser theater Wednesday afternoon.
"French literature has remained very important to France even during these difficult years," the scholarly white-haired gentleman continued. His subject was, "From Proust to Hemingway."
Mr. Maurois was introduced as one of the few men, to influence thinkers in two countries. He writes in English about the French and in French about the English.
"The American novelists who had the greatest influence in France around 1930 were Hemingway, Falkner, Steinbeck, and Caldwell. The writings of these men who had been disillusioned by the war and the depression appealed to cynical young Frenchmen," Mr. Maurois continued.
Mr. Maurois said that; the French will come back to Proust, although they are not reading him much now. In his opinion, Proust is the most important French novelist of the 20th century.
Mr. Maurois spoke in French the French club Thursday night.

Iran Troops Clash In Local Fighting
London. (UP)—The situation in Iran seemed to be well in hand with "no more than local skirmishes" between central government and Azerbaijan forces so far, an Iranian embassy spokesman said today.
He said Premier Ahmad Ghavam was determined not to yield to any demands by the Azerbaijan leaders which violated the Iranian constitution.
The Tehran radio said the Soviet embassy there denied that the Russian evacuation of Azerbaijan was conditional upon Iran giving Russia 51 per cent of the shares in a joint oil company.
Radio Tabriz said Central government troops opened up mortar barrages against two Azerbaijan frontier posts. The broadcast said other government troops attacked Kurdish positions in Kurdistan, a mountainous province adjoining Azerbaijan, three days ago. The Central government troops were repulsed by the Kurdish tribesmen, suffering casualties and losing 37 prisoners, it said.

There was no immediate Tehran confirmation of the attacks from the government of Ghavam. Negotiations between Ghavam and Azerbaijan representatives led by Jaafar Pishevari broke down last week, and Ghavam said he might find it necessary to use force against 'the Azerbaijan regime.

Nation's Colleges Can't Meet Fall Demand
Washington. (UP) — More than two million persons, including 970,-000 veterans, want to go to college next fall, but only one million, including 680,000 veterans, can be accommodated, John W. Snyder, conversion director, has reported.
His report urges President Tuman to appoint a "national commission on higher education" to study problems of housing, campus facilities, books, and teachers during the summer, and to report in time for consideration by the next congress.
It proposed that the institutions themselves raise teachers' alieres to competitive levels and make more effective use of their present campus facilities.
Snyder based his prospective figures on continuation of the draft without exemption of 18 and 19-year olds. The enrollment of 970,900 veterans represents 9 percent of those eligible under the G.I. bill of rights. The increase over previous figures is due to the liberalization of the G.I. bill and the large number of veterans who are having difficulty finding the kind of job they want.
The report noted that the federal government will spend about six billion dollars for college education of World War II veterans.
Jay Janes Hold Tea For Independents
Independent women were to be the guests of the Jay Janes, University women's pep organization. at a tea today, from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Union, Virginia Wickert, president, has announced.

"Our last delivery of meat was two and a half weeks ago. We have been using the small amount of meat in storage, but the larder is emptying," she said.
To save regular white flour, the cafeteria tries to use biscuit mix, which also saves on shortening, and every scrap of dry bread and every drop of usable fat are saved, she added.
Kinzer, Miller Chosen For Summer Faculty

Automobiles: No.1 Killers
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the automobile industry. Since 1895, when there were four registered cars in the nation, the industry has made great strides. In 1941, the last normal production year before the war, 3,744,300 cars and trucks came off the assembly line.
Through those years little has been spared to develop cars that would give the American driver more pleasure, convenience, and speed. The automobile has become as commonplace in our life as the kitchen sink. But, as has been the case of other social benefits, we have carelessly lost sight of its true value and turned it into an agent of destruction.
In 1945 we killed more people on our highways than were slain on the war's battlefields. We are well on our way toward exceeding that goal in 1945; an ironic manner of celebrating the automobile's fiftieth birthday. Statistics tells us that to be most likely to avoid an accident, one should drive in the North Atlantic states, in a city with a population of more than 10,000. To be even safer, make the journey before 5 p.m. on Tuesday or Wednesday in a car at least two years old. The driver should be between 45 and 55 years old.
Figures show that deaths in the North Atlantic states are 18 per 100,000 persons, or 9 per 100 million miles. Twice as many are killed in rural areas as in cities, and twice as many accidents occur on Saturday and Sunday as on Tuesday and Wednesday. The other three days of the week show 20 to 30 per cent more accidents than the average.
Aparently bad weather is a minor factor, since 85 per cent of the accidents occur on clear or cloudy days. Mechanical failure of the automobile accounts for only 5 per cent.
Although few figures are available for the age of the car, the new ones, less than two years old, have been in most of the accidents reported. The age of the driver is more important; those under 20 have had three times as many accidents as the drivers between 45 and 55. Absolute speed seems to have little correlation, but relative speed for conditions is an important factor in accidents.
Two-fifths of all persons killed by automobile mishaps are pedestrians. If war is useless slaughter, surely there is even less to be gained when a family climbs gaily into a car bound for a picnic and ends up badly mutilated corpses along the road.
Safety program campaigns such as the Green Cross in Kansas City are being sponsored as civic projects throughout the country. A great deal can be accomplished by backing such plans to make the people accident-conscious.
Much more can be done by teaching persons how to drive, by enacting and enforcing laws requiring the passing of mental and physical tests before a driver's license is issued, and by removing hazards from roads.
After fifty years, it is time drivers were beginning to take some responsibility for their actions—A.B.
A Course In Marriage
A course of three talks on love and marriage is being presented at the Union building under the sponsorship of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.
This is a commendable project. The war through which we have just passed has had an adverse effect on the social relations of the nation. Our social structure is in dire need of stabilization.
The institution of the family has lost its true meaning to many people during the trying war years. Not only the shockingly high divorce rate but also the wide-spread growth of juvenile delinquency mirror this condition.
The college-age youth of today and those who will follow must restore marriage and the family to a high place in our social institutions.
The University of California has had such a course for six years, and it has proved an unqualified success. This year's class numbered 600. The course is conducted mainly on a question and answer basis and no phase of sex and marriage is ignored.
There are some who will question the value of such a frank discussion of subjects that have always been of a hush-hush nature.
This is not because today's youth have greater immoral tendencies than former generations, but it is largely due to changing social conditions that have altered our mores. Life has become more complex; modern society creates many problems and tensions that demand a firmer devotion to high morals and the real values of life than ever before.
It is true that love and marriage are largely matters of personal adjustment but what is too often forgotten is that social relations have undergone great changes. Some of these changes have caused us to lose our sense of real values.
When a love and marriage course was suggested at the University of California, the students were asked to express their opinions on the proposal. They voted it into the curriculum by an overwhelming majority.
A similar course at K.U. could be of great value in producing citizens of the highest moral and social standard, citizens that would help restore a stability to our society.

A Larger, Better-Paid Faculty Is Important K. U. Problem
By FREDERIC THOMAS
K. U. lost 85 members of its faculty to the service of their country. Of this number 35 were on military leave, from which two-thirds have returned. But of the remaining 50, less than 8 per cent have returned.
Our state legislature meets next January, February, and March. What kind of an appropriation will
Where will we get them? What will we pay them? Where will we get the funds to pay them? These are questions of great importance to the University today.
Why haven't they come back? The answer is that there is no incentive to return to a university where the wage scale is so much lower than in other universities and in most branches of business and industry.
We are expecting a maximum enrollment of 6,800 students here next fall. There are 5,200 here at present. We will need at least 100 more teachers to supply adequate instruction for that expected enrollment.
It is true that there is a shortage of teachers throughout the nation but the chief reason that K.U. is faced with this problem is our low salary scale.
we get? Will it be the same as we have received in the past 15 years, one that gives K.U. the "Oscar" for the lowest salary scale in the mid-west?
The only way that this University can continue to produce leaders in all of its different fields is to retain its present well-qualified faculty and secure new faculty members to lighten the already heavy load on our present staff.
Our present administration has been fighting a losing battle with the state legislature because it has had insufficient help from our Board of Regents, our legislators, and the people.
It is also the duty of our governor to review the tax appropriations and appropriations for our educational institutions in the state. Why can we not put our finger on him to emphasize this important need?
It is up to all of us: students, faculty, Board of Regents, and administration to put on an all-out effort to raise the level of K.U. faculty salaries and to get additional funds to add to our staff.
If we succeed in doing this, in getting an adequate appropriation from the state legislature, we can gladly relinquish the "Oscar" we now have for underpaying our educators.
Berlin Keeps Reputation Of 'Suicide City'
Berlin. (UP)—Berlin, long known as a city of suicides, is maintaining its reputation.
Nearly 350 Germans have taken their own lives by various means so far this year, and authorities fear a sharp increase in the suicide rate when diminishing supplies force the occupation authorities to impose a food ration cut.
Police reported 187 suicides in January, but only 46 in February. Authorities do not consider these figures particularly alarming in comparison with the 1938 records which show that even before the war an average of 175 Berliners took their own lives.
From August through December last year, 927 suicides were record-
over the same five months, an increase over the same five months, in 838 when 888 suicides were reported.
Compared with other European
nations, Germany's suicide rate has always been considered high. Psychiatrists believe the explanation lies in the fact most Germans become dependent easily and are acutely sensitive to economic and political reversals.
Hanging is the most popular method of committing suicide, police records reveal. Other victims take poison, cut their throats or wrists and hurl themselves in front of onrushing underground trains.
Records show that an average of one person daily meets a quick death by jumping in front of an approaching subway train in the British sector of Berlin.
Although a suicide wave was predicted last fall when natural gas was restored, few "gas" victims have been reported.
Letters to the Editor
To the Daily Kansan: I'm connection with the recent letter in the Kansan about the spring student election, I would like to add one more blob of mud to the K.U. electioneering mound.
Sophomore Agrees With Student Election Criticisms
When I went to vote, the official found my name in the directory, and lo-and-behold it was already marked out. Since my activity ticket had not been punched, I was allowed to vote but when the ballots were counted and checked, one of them must have been voided, but which one?
As for the election officials whom Miss Macfarlane mentioned in her letter, they registered amusement, if anything, when the duplicity of my vote was discovered. No one looked my ballot over though probably because I stood by and watched until it was deposited in the ballot box.
One isolated case could have been due to a mistake, but when several others, also independents, and at least one of them with the same last initial as mine had the same experience, there could be some healthy termites among the rotting planks of discarded party platforms.
Some of our party members aren't showing much basis for being en-trusted with student government.

Washington. (UP) — American military government officials in Germany have reported to the war department that there are 50,000 and a proportion number illegitimate children in Berlin alone throughout the country.
Homeless Nazi Children Pose Problem to U.S.
The Nazi desire for an increased birth rate and a resultant state sanction on illegitimacy was given as the cause. By law the Jugendamt (welfare department) is the legal guardian of every illegitimate child born in Germany, the report stated.
834 Vermont Phone 182
Most of these children are placed in foster homes or institutions when they cannot be given care by their mothers or by relatives. The child may be placed for adoption when the mother grants permission.
German child welfare authorities report to the military government officials that the whereabouts of many of the mothers is unknown and hence it is impossible to place their children for adoption. They have more requests for adoptions than they have children who can be placed.
Under the Nazi system, all foster or adopted children were placed in homes of "reliable party members" irrespective of the welfare of the child. Military government authorities are reviewing these placements, which were made prior to the occupation.
The child welfare and youth programs of the Nazi Reich collapsed with the capitulation of Germany. Occupation forces were faced with the problem of providing care for expectant and nursing mothers, indigent and working mothers, orphans, illegitimate homeless children, neglected and handicapped children and juvenile delinquents.
Child authorities are faced with the serious problem of caring for a large number of children evacuated during the war from areas subject to air attacks. Many of these children started homeward without assistance from welfare authorities when the war ended.

'Style,' Not 'Love,' Is Principal Attraction In Dress Designers' Attendance at Movies
Hollywood. (UP) — A few hundred of the millions who see movies in the United States every week don't go for the plot, the romance or to see their favorite stars. They go to study up on the latest in movie fashions.
Designer Travis Banton found that out when it was announced that he was creating 13 gowns for Lucille Ball, described in the script of Universal's "Lesson in Love" as "the best-dressed girl in America."
"They don't care whether Brent or the 'other man' gets the girl—or which
"The minute the story hit print I was snowed under with letters, telegrams and long-distance calls from designers and gown manufacturers all over the country," Banton reported.
"They'll be sitting there in the dark theater, sketch books on their laps, pencils poised for a quick outline of the gowns," he prophesied.
They wanted to find out when the picture would be released and it was pretty apparent to Banton that they weren't half as interested in what Miss Ball was going to do as in what she was going to wear.
girl. They come to see what is being done in Hollywood in the way of new fashions."
And after seeing the gowns, we can assure the designers that Hollywood is doing plenty.
The attitude of the women's wear industry, Banton learned, is no different from that of furniture manufacturers, architects, interior decorators and other businessmen.
"They have learned that Hollywood tries to keep a jump ahead of the rest of the country in everything it does." he opined. "So sharp-eyed specialists scout all the big pictures with an eye to getting a headstart on their competition.
Naturally, the screen has to forsee future trends and try to guess when the public will be wanting and wearing when the movie is shown a year from now."
That's why a few moviegoers ignore the action to get a new fashion trend or innovation in interior decoration down on paper before it's too late. And the studios don't care — as long as they pay the price of admission.

Clashes With Russia Mark U N Conference in Hoch
'Most Hopeful' Age Group Seeks Further Understanding of International Problems
Clashes between Russia and the western powers were the basic problem in the mock United Nations conference held Saturday in Hoch auditorium, as well as in the real United Nations organization.
"The age group represented here is the most hopeful in the world." Chancellor Deane W. Malott said, opening the morning session of the conference at
"Young people are tolerant of the points of views of others, in comparison with older people," he said. "At this conference, you will be able to give expression to your own beliefs and thinking."
ing session of the conference at 10 a.m.
Terry Herriott, speaker for the Russian delegation, debated vigorously with representatives of the western powers on all questions of atomic bomb control, Franco Spain, and the peace treaties of Italy, Germany, and Japan.
The continued clash throughout the conference between Russia and the rest of the world forced Russia to present a list of minimum demands, including complete deindustrialization of Germany.
"Russia is surrounded by an unfriendly world, in which the atomic bomb is being held over her head," Harriott said.
He accused the United States and Great Britain of wanting a strong Germany as a protection against Russia.
The security council was not polled on the question of the German peace but the question, as summarized by Buford Tribble, chairman of the general assembly, remained whether Germany should be made into a completely agrarian economy or be given limited industrialization under control.
Polling of the security council determined how the members of the real United Nations would vote on the questions. Members of the general assembly then were asked by Donald, Ong, secretary-general of
It Takes More Than 'Tired Dogs' To Stop Bock
There's nothing like the comfort of home, even in a UN conference meeting, to Robert Book. College sophomore.

Later, when he participated in a WREN broadcast, he repeated the performance.

the conference, to vote as individuals to register student opinion.
The Atomic Development authority, as a means of controlling the atomic bomb, was adopted by the security council. Delegates from the general assembly and the audience gave it almost unanimous support.
Economic sanctions, in the form of commercial boycott, against Franco Spain were given the support of the security council and general assembly. Great Britain dissented, but abstained from voting rather than exercise her veto power.
The time limit of the conference forced incomplete discussion of the Italian, German, and Japanese peace settlements and no vote was taken from the security council. The student opinion poll showed that students favored the 25-year disarmament program in Germany proposed by Secretary Byrnes, opposed the return of the monarchy to Italy, and were almost equally divided as to
"The United Nations is a going concern—but where is it going?" Dr. Norman Hill, author and head of the political science department at the University of Nebraska, asked the delegates to the United Nations conference in Hoch auditorium Saturday.
'People Essential To World Peace'
Closing the conference with his discussion of "The United Nations Organization and the Possibility of Permanent Peace," Dr. Hill asserted that "Keeping the peace is too much to ask of any organization. It takes more than machinery. More important than the machinery are the people."
Amendment and practice are ways of improving the United Nations, he said, if the peoples of the nations can develop their thinking and practices to the point where the organization would become useful in their hands.
Dr. Hill suggested as improvements the give up by the United States of the traditional idea that problems must be submitted to the senate before they are sent to an international court of justice, a strong agreement on the control of atomic energy, a movement for disarmament, economic cooperation, a realization that getting along with Russia is a two-way street, and revision of the thinking of Americans, Russians, Englishmen, and people everywhere along "grander" lines.
whether the United States should give way to the Far Eastern commission in administering the Japanese peace.
Ong explained that the general assembly committee reports read at the opening of the conference were to show how the working of the regular UN conference is constructed.
These reports were from the trus-
Research, Not Audience,
Made Meeting Worthwhile
There were fewer than 75 persons in the audience for the mock UN conference on the campus Saturday, but those who attended "went away with a more thorough knowledge of the UN pattern," Prof. H.B. Chubb, faculty adviser for the meeting, declared today.
"It is the research work of the delegates that makes a conference of this kind desirable and worthwhile," he explained. "We'll have another meeting next year, and plan it earlier."
Missouri, K-State Send Representatives
Visiting delegates at the U.N. conference included representatives from the University of Missouri and Kansas State.
Delegates from Park college, University of Kansas City, and Rockhurst college did not arrive. The K-State students attended only the morning session of the conference. They took notes, but did not participate in the discussion.
The students from Missouri represented the International Relations club, the Student Federalists, and the Political Science club. Frank Tseng, a Chinese student at the University of Missouri, sat with the Chinese delegation. The other students represented part of the Great Britain delegation.
The University of Missouri is planning to hold a similar international relationship discussion next fall, probably under the supervision of the Political Science club and the history department.

Delegates Talk Franco Sanctions
Eight delegates to the mock United Nations conference participated in round table discussion from the WREN radio station at 1 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
The afternoon discussion, "Should the United Nations pose economic sanctions against Spain?" was carried on by Joan Veatch. College senior; Robert Judy, College freshman; Frances Francisco, College junior, and Robert Bock, College sophomore. Virginia Neal was moderator.
At the 8:30 broadcast on the Atomic bomb, Donald, Ong., College junior; Russell Barrett, Collegesenior; Richard Hawkinson, College sophomore; and Terry Hermiett, College sophomore, participated. Bufford Tribble served as moderator.
Most delegates had little time in which to prepare their broadcast speeches, but for the most part, kept the discussion well organized.
In discussing whether the United Nations should pose economic sanctions against Spain, Miss Veatch advanced the idea that such a policy would create an international situation encouraging another civil war in Spain. Judy maintained the UN should break off diplomatic relations with Spain in order to stamp out Franco's fascism.
The Acheson report (a plan forcing nations to give up their sovereignty to keep cooperation among nations, and which also asks that nations publicly reveal their atomic bomb knowledge) was attacked in the atomic bomb discussion by Ong, because "it would take more than three years to put the report into operation, and it demands that a nation expose itself too much by revealing its atomic information."
Barrett, disagreeing, declared, "One to three years is better than 20 years of wrangling and warfare."

Just Thruppence For 19th Century Fun at H'English'amstead'eath
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Hampstead, Eng. (UP) - Ere we are on 'ampstead' eath where his seem to be against the law, the poet Keats once tossed a lady in the pond, and a 'usband still' is 'arrassed'.
The trouble is the Easter fair, spreading up from the pond where Keats, in a better mood, also wrote his ode to a nightingale. All over the place, mates, are these darts games, penny pitchings, gypsy quoets, a merry-go-round, lemon squash stands and side shows, including one displaying the world's biggest rat and smallest race horse in the same tent, thruppence.
So it's thruppence here and sixpence there and the little woman always asking for more, and it makes you think of giving her the Keats treatment. The pond's 'andy. Or so a weary Londoner told me over a bitter at Jack Straw's castle tavern while his wife bounced (sixpence more) on a gilded tiger in the most magnificent carrousel I've ever seen.
But let us skip matrimonial difficulties and get along with my attempt to describe an English fair. It's straight out of the last century, even to the steam callope, the pearl buttons on the suits of the costermongers and the cockney women in black overcoats peddling fresh boiled wheels, cockles and mussels.
Fresh boiled whelks are undersized oysters, I hope. They taste like brass door knobs.
Priscilla Lee, the gypsy queen and a confidante (her sign says) of King Edward, sits in a mirrored wagon drinking milk between jousts with the love lines of a hundred sweaty hands. The knock the bottle off the ledge game turns out to be a phony. The bottles are made of iron, the baseballs of cork.
Harvey's sporting games offers darts at odds of 20 to 1 against you for such sorry looking prizes as tin cake pans, water glasses and pottery dogs that obviously survived four years of the blitz. Grooms modernized amusements is more of the same.
A girl who couldn't have been more than seven presided at one table, on which were three dozen boxes of matches, a scarce commodity in England. Toss your penny and if it land on a box, you get it. Most of her customers were no older than the manageress. One youngster with a penny to toss looked no more than five.
"See the girl in the den of death with the lions" the next sign said. I wasted sixpeace of my employers' money. The lions turned out to be singular, and he was sleepy. A plump lady in pink hosies was in
there with him, though, reading a book.
For the thrill seeker, there were swings which you worked yourself by pulling a rope. There was a small merry-go-round powered by the hands of a 19-year-old boy, while a red-faced gent (you think he could have been Fagin?) helped with an occasional push.
One of the drawbacks of an austerity fair is the lack of food except those door knobs. Genuine lemons littered the lemon squash stands, but the drink itself came straight from a chemical laboratory.
Everybody had a good time, even so, except for my friend at Jack Straw's castle. If the auditor back in New York is worrying about my expense account, I have good news. It only cost me two shillings before I finally landed a button smack dab in the middle of an old phonograph record on my table and thereby won a pot of genuine (doubtful) paper carnations. These I presented to a rosy cheeked youngster. Her smile, I think, was worth 40 cents. Even to the auditing department.
France Has Wine But No Bottles
Hollywood (UP)—America's thirst won't suffer in the least when liquor and beer production is greatly curtailed by increased grain shipments to feed Europe's undernourished millions that is, provided bottles can be found for the huge stock of fine champagnes which were safely hidden in French underground wine cellars during the German occupation.
France ended the war with enough of its best wines to fill 120,000,000 bottles, according to Count Robert de Vogue, the head of the 200-year-old champagne firm of Moet & Chandon, who is touring the United States to re-establish business connections.
WHY WE SAY
"Our only problem," he explained "is the shortage of champagne bottles."
Local housewives, who can't buy milk at the corner grocery unless they turn in an empty bottle, could sympathize with the Count.

Park Avenue 'Snob Appeal' Invades Cinema
New York. (UP)—It won't be long before some 8,400 New Yorkers will have their own private movie house, with love seats and eager beavers in the loges.
It's going to be on swanky Park Avenue too, with a licensed beautician in the ladies powder room. A lounge set will be installed in the lounge.
Walter Reade, veteran New York showman, is building the new theater and he said today that it would be completed before September 15. It will be a 600-seat super-deluxe stadium - type house, operating strictly and frankly for "snob appeal."
"There will be no double features and no standing for my patrons," she said. " Their troubles will be over after they buy their annualickets.
Seats will be sold on membership basis only, and the memberships will be good for a year. Reade said that the price a ticket would run around $50 "plus a little added for taxes."
They're thinking about opening the matinee to the ordinary trade, but haven't quite made up their minds as yet. If the matinee operates on a closed basis too, it means around 12,600 exclusive clients.
At present Reade plans to run two shows a day for his private clients days a week, which means that 8.400 can be accommodated each week.
"We won't have any trouble filling the seats," the Reade office said. "Americans love that exclusive label. We have already had requests for about half the number we can handle."
Reade guarantees his patrons that they'll have the "52 best movies of the year" but he admitted that they might run a few weeks behind the regularly scheduled Broadway houses.
Each "member" will get a plastic card with his seat number marked on it. All the movie-goer has to do is to show the card to the doorman. The cards will be transferable, but the management will reserve the right to pass judgment on all strangers who enter.
Reade said that the buildings, which is being erected on the site of a former art gallery, is already about 60 per cent completed.
There will be no lowly "coming next week" ads in the lobby. Instead the patrons will feast their exclusive eyes on a continuous display of paintings, sculpture and jewelry.

It was a tired but happy busload of Jayhawkers who returned from Lincoln Saturday night with the Big Six track and field crown. The boys had done a grand job in winning the title, and they were worn out.
Coach Ray Kanehl was a happy man, and he had nothing but praise for his boys. He said he couldn't get used to the feeling of being the coach of the champions, but he added that it would be a nice habit to get into.
Ernie Quigley and Prof. W. W Davis, faculty athletic representative, came into the dressing room after the meet to congratulate Kanehl and the boys.
The boys were still a little nervous after that mile relay which decided the championship. Jay-hawkers were sprinkled all over the infield and several were in the stands while the race was on, but every one of them was cheering for his teammate who was running at the time.
It was a crowd of 4,000 against perhaps 40 Kansas fans, but you could hear those Jayhawkers yelling.
The Nebraska sports writers were a downhearted bunch when Wallace Desterhhaft broke the tape in the relay, and Kansas had won the title for the first time since Glenn Cunningham and Ed Hall combined to take six firsts between them back in 1934. It won't be that long before the next Kansas victory because practically everyone on the team this year will be back next, and with a little added strength they can successfully defend their title
Charlie Black is just as sharp with a deck of cards as he is with a basketball. He and Dean Nesmith were playing a friendly game of bridge against Leroy Robison and Bob Stoland on the way up to Lincoln Friday.
Charlie needed the rest of the tricks to make his bid, and he didn't have much left in his hand. It looked like he didn't have a chance. He had one trump left, and he used that trump on three consecutive tricks to make the bid.
--to award points on a 10-8-6-4-2-1 basis. This accounted for the high scores of the teams.

The partisan Nebraska crowd was very happy when the totals up to the javelin event were announced and the Cornhuskers held a seven point advantage because it knew that Nebraska's Grote was winning the javelin. But you should have heard the groan that went up when it was announced that Kansas had won second, third, and fourth.
The Kansas javelin throwers, Robison, Ebel, and Henoch, were trying so hard that they fell down one after the other on consecutive throws. One of the sports writers from Lincoln asked me if it was a new technique Kanehl had worked out for the boys.

A fighting, driving band of Jayhawkers came from behind four times and then staved off a determined Nebraska challenge to win the Big Six outdoor track and field championship for the first Kansas title since 1934 at Lincoln, Neb. Sutrel
K.U. Wins Track Crown in Thrilling Finish
The hard-won victory enabled the Jayhawkers to maintain their undefeated outdoor record and become the third Kansas Big Six champion this year to go the conference season undefeated. The basketball and tennis team also accomplished this feat
The final score was 117 points for Kansas to 114 for Nebraska, but the meet was even closer than the score indicates as both teams fought for every valuable point. Missouri placed third with 95 points, Iowa State was fourth with 56, Oklahoma fifth with 53, and Kansas State last with 30.
The Jayhawker mile relay team of Andy Lunsford, Johnny Jackson, Dick Shea, and Wallace Desterhaft won the deciding race in 3:29.8 in the closest event of the day. Desterhaft broke the tape about two strides ahead of the Nebraska man, Harvey Stroud, who had beaten him in the open 440-yard dash earlier in the afternoon.
The race proved a fitting climax to one of the closest Big Six meets in history. Lunsford, the first Kansas runner, finished on almost even terms with the Nebraska man, but the second Cornhusker took about a 5-yard lead on Jackson. Jackson overtook him on the turn and came in five yards ahead.
Shea, third Kansas man, and the Nebraska entry ran a close race, but the Nebraskan gave his anchor man a two-yard lead on Destaher. The big Jayhawker took the lead on the first turn and kept it all the way, although he had to fight off Stroud's challenge on the home stretch.
Stroud pulled up to within a stride of Desterhaft, but the Kansan wasn't to be denied. With both runners giving everything they had, Desterhaft ran his best race of the season to give the Jayhawkers the race and the title.
Superior strength in the field events proved the margin of victory. The Jayhawkers totaled 78 points in the five field events to Nebraska's 31. But the track men came through with enough points to keep Kansas in the running and again when the chips were down to combine strength to give the Jayhawkers their first Big Six victory in 12 years.
Leroy Robison of Kansas won the individual scoring honors with 22 points, followed closely by Bob Crowson of Missouri who won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes and scored 20 points. Jayhawkers Charlie Black and Tom Scofield tied for third place with 17 points each.
Norman Pederson of Iowa State leaped 24 feet, 10 inches in the broad jump, two inches better than the old mark registered in 1941. Pederson had a stiff wind at his back, and meet officials announced that his mark would not be recognized as a conference record.
Two new marks were established,
but only one will be recognized.
Scofield and Dwayne Feekin of Iowa
State each bettered the old high
jump mark by leaping 6 feet, 4
inches, % of an inch higher than the
record set in 1933.
Meet officials and track coaches decided at a meeting Friday night that six places would be given instead of five. In accordance with the N.C.A.A. rules governing track meets of this type, they also decided
Kansas started strong with Charlie Black, Leroy Robison, and Karl Ebel taking first, second, and sixth in the shot put. Hal Moore finished second in the mile run to keep the Jayhawkers out in front. Johnny Jackson won the 440-yard dash, and Wallace Desthert took third to give the Crimson and Blue an advantage of 13 points in the first three events.
The Jayhawkers scored only one point in the next two events, Owen Peck taking sixth in the 100-yard dash, while Nebraska tallied 20 to take the lead. Scofield's tie for first and Norbert Zimmer's tie for third in the high jump put Kansas back in front by three points, but Nebraska scored 10 points to Kansas' one in the 880-yard run to regain the lead. Andy Lunsford finished sixth in this event.
Kansas scored 14 points in the broad jump, and Nebraska went scoreless to enable the Jayhawkers to forge back into the lead with 88 points to Nebraska's 87. Scofield took second, and Stevens finished third for Kansas.
The Nebraskans tallied nine points in the pole vault, and Kansas' lane entry, Black, tied for fourth for three points. Nebraska held a 13-point lead at the completion of 10 events.
Robison, Black, and Ebel came through with third, fourth, and sixth places in the discus to put Kansas on top again by three points. Jackson's fifth in the 220-yard dash gave the Jayhawkers two more points, but the Cornhuskers scored 12 and recaptured the lead.
Robison, Ebel, and Bruce Henoch captured second, third, and fourth places in the javelin to offset Nebraska's first, and the Jayhawkers took the lead again. Kansas' 18 points in the javelin gave the Crimson and Blue 107 points against Nebraska's 106.
In the 2-mile run, Nebraska tallied five points to none for Kansas, and the lead changed hands again. N.U. maintained its lead by scoring four points in the 220-yard low hurdles, with Dexter Welton taking sixth for the only Kansas point.
The officials waited until the javelin throwing was completed to start the mile relay. The announcer read the totals, and the crowd buzzed with excitement as the officials got ready to start the deciding race. More than 4,000 tense, yelling fans were on their feet as the runners went to their marks. Then came the most thrilling race of all, and the crowd was a disappointed lot as Kansas came home the winner
The Big Six probably will have to wait a long time before it produces another championship meet as close and exciting as this one. The marks may be better, but the finish of the 1946 meet will long be remembered.

Netters Win Big Six Trophy
K. U. netters made a clean sweep of the Big Six conference singles, doubles, and team championship when they closed their season, with a 5-1 win over Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday.
In 10 matches, the Jayhawkers won eight and tied two. Roy Shoaf and Bob Groom, number one and two men, were undefeated in singles and first in doubles.
Charles Carson and Bob "Bitsy" Barnes, played three and four spots in singles and number two in doubles, completed the team.
It was the first undefeated tennis year for KU. since 1937.
Golfers Place Second In Big Six Tourney
Kansas linksmen upset the pre-tournament golf dope sheet to take second place in the Big Six golf tourney Friday and Saturday at Lincoln, Neb.
Oklahoma, tournament favorite,
captured the championship with a total of 608 strokes over the 36-hole match. The Sooners also took individual honors with Coe shooting 71-72 and Anderson following close on his heels with a 72-73.
The Jayhawkers were doped to come in fourth behind the Sooners, Missouri Tigers, and Kansas State Wildcats, but Coach William Shannon's golfers shot steady rounds to take second by six strokes.
Phil Wade, Jack Hines, Peter Macdonald, and Bill Winey represented the Jayhawkers in the tournament. The Jayhawkers should do even better next year with all these men except Hines returning to give Kansas a veteran squad.

Tigers Combine Timely Hitting With Kansas Errors to Win Doubleheader
By BOB MOORE
(Daily Kansan Sports Writer)
The Missouri Tigers combined timely hitting with several Kansas micsus to subdue K.U.'s diamond performers, 7 to 5 and 8 to 4, in a doubleheader here Saturday.
These losses in the season finale cost Kansas a chance of finishing second in the conference standings and also of attaining a .500 win-loss record in this year's play. The final tabulation shows four victories and six defeats.
In the first game, Kansas struck quickly to score five runs in the first two innings of play. Four of these counters came in a big second inning, but from then on, the Jayhawker attack was held in check by the Black and Gold's tight defensive play...
After scoring three times in the first frame, the Missourians got a single marker in the third and punched across three more tallies in the sixth innning to gain a hard-fought victory.
The Jayhawker scoring in the second contest was confined to the second and third innings, two runs being stored in each. The latter inning was featured by "Red" Hogan's long double high on the right field embankment. The Tiger's big barrage in this game included a 4-run third stanza which proved enough to win.
Both teams hit the ball hard, but fast and adept fielding in the Missouri outer garden staved off the Kansas attack.
Centerfielder Bill "Red" Hogan's play stood out both at bat and in the field. Shortstop Milford Pritchard made several sensational plays in the first game. In the third inning, he went far to his left for Moran's hard smash and made a back-hand flip to second for a force play.
Scoring in the first game:
His absence from the second game because of injury greatly hindered the Crismon and Blue chances. Scoring in the first.
In the top half of the first inning, Missouri garnered three runs on three hits, including two doubles. In the home half of the initial frame, Kansas scored once when Pritchard singled and scored on Hogan's single to center.
In the next inning, the Jayhawkers countered four times on four safeties. Tom Saffell pulled to deep short, Charlie Putz was hit by a pitched ball, and Verle Anderson singled to center to fill the bases.
After fielding Pritchard's grounder, the Missouri third-baseman threw wild past second base allowing Saffell and Putz to score. Bud French drew life on a fielder's choice as Anderson was thrown out at home plate Pritchard and French scored on "Curly" Hayden's single. Missouri scored a singleton in the third on Feldman's single and Spinks' triple, and three counters in the sixth on four singles, two of which were bunts.
Scoring in the second game:
Missouri scored once in the second stanza when Eichelberger singled, stole second, and scored on a passed ball. Pitcher Ray Ocamb misjudged the catcher's throw to the plate.
In the Kansas half of the same inning, t the Jayhawkers scored twice on two hits. Hogan singled to center but was forced at second by Hayden. After Dale Morrow had walked, Putz scored Hayden and Morrow with a double to left field
The big Missouri third frame was topped off by Constantino's three-run triple. Constantino later scored

on Spinks' hit past Ocamb. In the same inning for KU., French singled and scored on Hogan's double to right field. After Hayden had singled him to third, Hogan stole home to conclude the Kansas scoring.
The Tigers scored lone runs in the fourth, sixth, and seventh stanzas. In the fourth, Bus Entsinger scored on Wackerle's double. Wackerle singled and scored on Feldman's single in the sixth. Missouri's last run came on doubles by Eichelberger and Constantino.

Got An Old, Worn-Out Street Car Around? Just Give This California Collector the Word
Hollywood. (UP) — If you're tired of waiting for a street car, see George Bothwell. He has just about cornered the market.
Bothwell, of Tarzana, Calif., collects streetcars. Although his hobby involves a rather heavy initial outlay, it brings handsome returns when a movie studio is in need of some odd vehicle.
It was thanks to one of Bothwell's odd vehicles that actress Myrna Loy had her first ride in a horse-drawn car.
The scene was in the Jack Skirball-Bruce Manning production at Universal, "So Goes My Love," Don Amache did not invent the streetcar. In this picture he invents a gun.
The horse-drawn streetcar was a part of an 1869 Greenwich village street scene, constructed on stage 12 of the Universal lot. It's the biggest stage on the lot, which gave art director Lionel Banks many of lee-
Banks went to work creating fronts of buildings, stores and tenements. The street railway running through the set stopped him only for a moment. Then he contrived a way to laur 300 feet of tracks about the stage,
It was Bothwell who provided the streetcar for the tracks, saving Universal what might have been a nationwide search. The trolley, which he bought from the Los Angeles street railway company years ago, was one of more than a hundred parked in a huge barn on his ranch.
"Isn't that cute!" exclaimed Miss Loy as she hopped in the car.
"Do you pay the driver or do you feed the horses?" she gigged.
Skirrall said he'd paid for the driver, the horses and the streetcar and let's have no more delay in returning all three.
Miss Loy jogged down the studio street six times before the take was perfect. She was a little ruffled when she got out.
"Next time," she said, "I'll take the train."
Tetanus antitoxin, used to prevent lockjaw, is an antibody obtained from the blood of horses; unless renewed it gives the human body, only 10 days' protection.
Flavor Memory With Reality
It'll soon be over, those four years at K.U. Busy years they were, with heartaches, disappointments, and triumphs. Long years as you looked forward, short as you look back. Years that will be filled with memories, years that you will recall as the happiest of your life.
But don't depend upon memory alone. Ease the twinge of home-sickness you know you're going to feel, with a daily visit from old K.U. itself. A visit made possible by your copy of The Kansan. You'll be surprised how much it will mean to you and how you'll enjoy that satisfying rendezvous with an old friend.
And now your senior days here on K.U. campus are drawing short, you realize that with you will go memories, memories that you can recall when next fall the campus swarms again with your friends—and you aren't here to be with them.

Education Of Voters, Poll-Workers Is Needed To Improve Balloting
A "school" for poll workers and publicity of the Campus election ballot were suggestions made that might improve the voting system, members of the All-Student Council elections committee and E. O. Stene, professor of political science have agreed.
The suggestions arose after charges were made by Jean MacFarlane, College senior, in a letter to the Daily Kansan that there was no such thing as a secret ballot in the recent University election; that some of the poll workers were guilty of giving false information; and that the number of voting booths was insufficient.
"There were no clear instructions about whether or not poll workers should check ballots for inaccuracies." Rosemary Harding, Independent political chairman, said in answering the first charge.
"I know that at several polls the workers were glancing at the ballots," she said, "to check for ruined ballots made by marking the ballots with X's rather than with numbers of preference."
Fewer ballots would be declared invalid if a "mock" ballot were printed in the Daily Kansan before the election, she declared, so that the voters could be instructed before they reach the polls.
"About 3 percent of the proportional representation ballots for A.S. C representatives were thrown out." Professor Stene revealed. This amount is low as compared with regular elections, and especially lower than in other elections held under the proportional representation system of counting votes."
"Many times the ballot is folded in correctly by the voter," he said, "and in order for the worker to cut the number off it must be unfolded. This could be remedied by having the number written or printed on the back, but would be an added expense."
***
"It is the voter's privilege to fold his ballot," Dixie Gilliland asserted. She explained that often the voter handed his marked ballot to the poll worker without folding it, and that it was practically impossible not to appear to be reading it.
"It was confusing to have poll workers instruct their successors coming on duty each hour of the day or to try to tell people their duties over a telephone." Miss Harding pointed out.
A school or meeting for poll workers was suggested by Miss Harding a means of instructing poll workers of their duties in advance. About 400 workers were needed in the recent election, she said.
In reply to Miss MacFarlane's charge that the number of balloting booths was insufficient, Professor Stone said that it was impossible to get more at the time.
Guy Ashercraft expressed his belief that there were sufficient voting booths to handle the voters.
"The difficulty arose between classes, even people crowded to the trails." No. 2543.
Members of the A.S.C. elections committee are Ascraft, chairman, Emily Stacey, Lois Thompson, and Miss Gilliland. Professor Stene is the faculty adviser.
Prime Ministers Discuss U.S. Bases
London. (UP)—Diplomatic circles said today that empire prime ministers, who are meeting again after a 10 day recess, were willing to grant the United States full facilities but will refuse to yield any sovereignty of Pacific or Atlantic buses.
These circles said the question would occupy a prominent place on the agenda, and the future status of Atlantic islands now held by the United States under 99 year lease would be reviewed.

'Laws' Support Memorial Drive
Full support for the scenic drive and campanile as the K.U. World War II Memorial has been voted in a resolution passed by students of the Law school.
Howard Engleman, first year law law,
put the proposition before the 48
members of the first year law class.
He reported almost unanimous sup-
port. The exact vote was not re-
corded.
"It has come to the attention of the Law school, through statements made by alumni in the state, that the proposed war memorial is not receiving the support of the University students," the resolution states.
"The students of the Law school hereby desire to refute that allegation and hereby to state that they give full support to the Memorial."
Justice Hugo T. Wedell, president of the Memorial association, commented, "We find support of students of the Law school particularly gratifying because it represents student backing for the Memorial. And since 90 per cent of the men in the Law school are veterans, we can feel that the Memorial meets with the approval of the men who served in the armed forces."
Closing hours for women who attend the pageant at Haskell institute tonight will be at 11:15 p.m. Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, announced today.

G.I. Bill Prohibits Flight Instruction Without Credits
No student veteran may take flight instruction under the GI. "Bill of Rights" without college credit, E. R. Elibel, of the Veterans bureau, said today. The order came from the Kansas City Veterans administration.
Veterans have been allowed to use part of their entitlements on flight courses for which they are not receiving college credit. In the future, they must pay for such courses themselves, if they are not receiving college credit. Mr. Elbel said.
Students who are now taking flying courses under the GI. Bill of Rights without credit will be allowed to finish their courses, but no additional approvals of this type can be given, he said.
Library Attendance Up One-Third Sunday
Peak attendance at the library on the second Sunday it has been open was 135 persons, as compared with 87 the week before, C. M. Baker, director of the 'library, said today.
Whether the library can continue to stay open, especially during the dinner hour on Sunday, depends on
The reserve room and the main reading room stayed open through the dinner hour, but the other rooms were closed from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. The fixed meal schedule of student help makes it impossible to keep all the rooms open during the dinner hour, he added.
Union Activities To Elect Tuesday, Not Today
Union Activities president, vicepresident and secretary-treasurer will be chosen at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in the music room, Alberta Cornwell, president, announced today in a change of plans.

Big Six Approves New Schedules
Rumors were plentiful with the Big Six faculty athletic representatives met Friday and Saturday in Lincoln, but only one fact really was certain—conference schools may play a 10-game football schedule.
The athletic directors decided this. It had been adopted as a war measure with the only limitation that one of the 10 teams had to be a service team.
Most conferences allow 10-game schedules, and the athletic directors decided it was time to get in step. It will be a definite help to the teams and the schools. Some of the teams were playing schedules with two open dates under the old rule, and the new regulation will enable them to operate without too much layoff during the season.
Of course, the schools will make more money as a result of the extra game, and this will help defray expenses and keep equipment in better shape.
It was rumored that the question of Negro participation in varsity athletics would be left to a "gentlemen's agreement" between the member schools. Under this provision, Negroes may participate if the schools concerned agree to permit them to do so.
Other questions brought up—and supposedly passed—limited the basketball schedule to 24 games, provided for a basketball training table, the probable resumption of the residence rule, provision for basketball playoffs to erase ties, and an agreement to allow underclassmen to participate in the East-West Shrine football game next year.
Tue 24-game basketball schedule includes holiday games, tournaments, and N.C.A.A. playoffs. Schools will be limited to an 18-game schedule with these three exceptions.
The basketball training table win allow each school to feed its basketballers at the evening meal. The cost must not exceed $000, and it will exist from Dec. 10 until the close of each individual season. A football training table of the same type has been in force since 1938.
No definite action was taken on the residence rule, but the representatives informed athletic directors to be ready to resume this rule by Sept. 1, 1947.
Basketball ties will be played off on neutral courts in order to select the Big Six representative for the N.C.A.A. playoffs.
The representatives decided to extend the eligibility for the East-West game to include underclassmen because of the scarcity of seniors at every Big Six school.

Tabriz Reports Iranian Situation Has 'Eased'
Tehran. (UP)—Signs of conciliation in Iran's "civil war" appeared today when Tabriz reported that the situation there had eased and Tehran officials played down reports of Azerbaijani border skirmishes.

A United Press dispatch from Tabriz said martial law and the curfew were lifted there late last night with the explanation that tension was subsiding.
A Tabriz broadcast left the gate open to further negotiations when it said that further attacks by central government forces along the border would make a peaceful settlement impossible.
Army Plane Crashes Into N.Y. Skyscraper
New York. (UP)—Flying through fog, a two-engined army airplane crashed through the 58th story of a New York bank building in Wall street Monday night, killing the pilot and the four passengers.
The plane was due at Newark at 8:46 p.m. The pilot contacted the Newark control tower at 8:10 and reported he was flying blind at 6,000 feet. The plane crashed into the 927-foot building a few seconds later.
Officials said the pilot perhaps mistook the East river for the Hudson in the low overcast and banked for what he thought was the glide into the Newark airport.
About 500 people were in the building at the time. None of them was injured.
Government Move Increases Suit Supply
Washington. (UP)—The government, in a new move to speed shipments of men's suits to retail stores, today extended until the end of the year the incentive price program on rayon lining.
The program, originally scheduled to expire June 30, gives the rayon producers a 10 per cent increase. It was put into effect in January when suit manufacturers reported that a shortage of lining was delaying shipments of suits.

Truman Orders Seizure Of Nation's Coal Mines
Washington. (UP)—President Truman today ordered Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug to seize the bituminous coal mines of the nation tomorrow.
Mr. Truman signed the seizure order at 1 p.m. today.
Now He's Glad To Be Back on the Ground
Phi Gam's Lose Social Privileges
The Phi Gam's had been found guilty of violating Section 1 of Article 7 of the Inter-Fraternity constitution, which states that no fraternity shall perform any action that shall be found in the opinion of the Council to be deterrimental to the fraternity system on the campus.
Phi Gamma Delta fraternity will have no social privileges during the fall semester as a penalty for "spiking" a high school student, the Inter-Fraternity council decided last night.
The fraternity had been charged with illegally "spiking" Charles Steeper, Lawrence high school student. Since Steeper was in high school and not enrolled in the University, he was not eligible for pledging.
Krug will determine the actual hour of seizure.
The fraternity may have no authorized parties, and may have no women guests except relatives in the house from September, 1946, to January 15, 1947, the council ruled.
The council, in accepting the recommendations of the executive committee which met last week, found that such action was detrimental to the fraternity system and would lead to open and unrestricted pledging of men who had neither enrolled nor gone through Freshman week.
J. R. Danneberg was elected Council president for the fall term and will be installed at the next meeting. Other officers elected include Roy Shoaf, vice-president; Keith Congdon, secretary; Lloyd Eisenhower, treasurer, and Charles Hall, representative to the All-Student Council.
Krug was instructed in an executive order to take over and operate

Geologist Chronic Picked First Atom Bomb Target
By GRACE MUILENBURG (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
The man who picked the first atomic bomb target, Hiroshima, is now a student-instructor on the campus.
John Chronic, graduate geology student, was an aerial weather forecaster in one of three reconnaissance planes that went ahead of the atomic bomb-carrying plane on its mission over Japan.
master's degree in geology from this University, where he enrolled this spring.
"We weather forecasters knew we were on a secret mission the first time we were instructed to select a target over Japan," he said, "but we didn't know its nature. The second time—and this was when Hiroshima, which I reported on, was chosen—we had a better idea of what was about to happen.
He is president of the geology club, an instructor in petroleum engineering, and plays the snare drum in the University band. His military service record includes three air medals, five battle stars, and a unit citation.
"After spending 1000 hours over the Atlantic and the Pacific, sometimes confronting gales traveling at the rate of 90 to 100 miles an hour, sometimes getting lost, and sometimes almost running out of gas, I'm glad to be back on the ground—far from oceans," he said
"We radioed our message in code to the bombing plane and then we 'beat it'. Looking back later, we saw the smoke."
Chronic was graduated with honors from the University of Tulsa in 1942; his major was petroleum engineering. He had three semesters of cadet training at the University of Chicago. He plans to get his
ive order to take over and operate the mines in such a way as to "preserve the national economic structure in the present emergency."
The soft coal mines are now operating under a two-week strike truce by the United Mine workers which expires at midnight Saturday.
Charles G. Ross, White House press secretary, said the miners and the operators had been "sounded out" as to the appointment of Krug, who also is solid fuels administrator. He said that Krug was "acceptable to both sides."
Mr. Truman in ordering the seizure acted under powers conferred on him by the Smith-Connally war labor disputes act and the selective service law.
The order authorized Krug to negotiate with the union for "appropriate changes in the terms and conditions of employment" during the period the mines are operated by the government.
This authority was made subject, to national wage and price stabilization policies as determined by the wage stabilization board and the economic stabilization director.
Krug was instructed to permit the mine operators to continue their managerial functions to the maximum degree possible consistent with the order.
Krug, in this section of the order, was given authority to apply the wage stabilization board for changes in wages and working conditions following whatever negotiations with the union he deems necessary.
The Little Man is coming—in a souvenir booklet.
The order contained standard seizure provisions authorizing Krug to request army protection for mines properties and for persons desiring to work in the mines.
He's the brain-child of the Daily Kansan's outstanding cartoonist, Dick Bibler, and he'll appear on the campus soon.
'Little Man Will Appear In Book Form
"We've checked through exchanges of every other college and university paper published in the United States," they pointed out, "and there's nothing that even approaches the Little Man."
"Little Man on Campus" is the best cartoon appearing in any college paper in the country, according to Daily Kansan executives.
The souvenir booklet will have 30 of Bibler's cartoons, many of them brand new, and a few of them the particularly popular ones which have appeared in the Daily Kansan, and which are reprinted.
Memorial Corporation To Meet Saturday
The University of Kansas Memorial corporation will meet Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in the Pine room of the Union, to elect officers and fill vacancies on the board.

A Case Of Poor Reason
Last week the Topeka Daily Capital took occasion to criticize a group of K.U. students and a worthy University project.
★
We consider their remarks, as printed in an editorial May 14, to be surprising and disappointing. The editorial was not only erroneous in the facts it assumed but expressed an opinion that was narrow-minded and short-sighted.
On the evening of May 10 a group of 20 University women went to the Boys' Industrial school at Topeka to lend assistance in the school's rehabilitation program. The evening was devoted to entertainment for the boys at the school 15 years of age and older. The entire program had the complete sanction of the school authorities and the girls were accompanied by a University associate professor from the department of sociology. The project was planned to help restore confidence in those who are confined there and to combat the feeling that they are social outcasts, so they can take their places in society when they are released.
The Capital said that the girls "remained at the school from early morning until late at night." That was definitely not true.
The editorial went on to say that "there is cause for grave concern" over the project and "... If it is 'rehabilitation' to allow this at the Boys' Industrial school, it would be equally consistent to try 'rehabilitation' at the state reformatory at Hutchinson and at the state penitentiary at Lansing by staging similar dances—and few would approve of such programs."
This type of reasoning we believe to be completely erroneous. To compare the inmates of the Boys' Industrial school with the criminals confined in the state penitentiary is the height of illogic. The entire theory behind such an institution as the state industrial school is to rehabilitate young boys who have committed an offense against society, to teach them a trade, and to return them to society in a manner that they will become useful normal citizens.
A program of social entertainment we believe to be entirely within the limits of such rehabilitation efforts, as long as it is properly conducted.
The editorial in the Capital also said "... Some of the boys who are confined at the place will make good after they are released. But some of them will not, and they are not the type of individuals who can associate safely with decent girls from the University of Kansas or anywhere else."
Here the Capital seems to imply that the girls who went to the school were children. The facts are that their average age was 21 and they are all sociology students who were fully conscious of the nature of the project. They went to the school of their own volition with the sincere desire to in them and wants them to make a real success of their lives after they be of assistance by showing those confined there that society is interested leave the school.
The girls returned to Lawrence feeling that they had accomplished much good during the evening they spent there, only to have the Capital publish its sharp criticism.
The editorial said that if any more of these parties are held "the public will rightly rebel and demand an end to such spectacles." We sincerely hope that the public mind is not as narrow as that expressed in the Capital's editorial.
It is regrettable that the Capital with its wide circulation throughout Kansas should have circulated such an unwarranted criticism of members of the state university without checking on the facts and using at least a minimum amount of reason.
Rock Chalk Talk
Thanks, thanks a lot. The neat little sigus posted 'round the campus which say "Please—Please—PLEASE" (and mean keep off the grass) inspired some Joe with a college humor to attach a tin can beneath the one in front of the journalism Shack.
By JOAN HARRIS
Modest, too. A most appealing want ad in the past few issues of the Kansan was inserted by Bobby Ricks. It says, "Date for the big navy dance by campus" most eligible and available young bachelor. Must be crazy about aviators and drive a car and call 120."
Make up your mind. The most comfortable character at the UNO
conference in Hoch Saturday was Bob Bock, Delt, who sat with his shoes off through the entire procedure. That night he put them back on again and went over to the Sigma Kappa spring formal to dance for three hours with Eileen Deutchman.
Something fishy. To add that artistic touch to the Kappa formal Saturday, Nancy Hulings planned a big fishpond for the basement. All would have been fine if she hadn't gotten overly eager and put blueing in the water. The effect was artistic but killing.

'Art Students Needed In Every Business'
By MARJORIE WHITNEY
(Associate Professor of Design)
(Associate Professor of Design)
The prospect for positions for students who have trained themselves in any one of the many fields of art and occupational therapy is excellent. These fields of art include creative design, art teaching, advertising, ceramics and the many other allied fields.
The increase in demand for occupational therapists has come about because of the necessary establishment of occupational therapy departments in veteran hospitals and to the increased interest in the value of this treatment in general hospitals. A conservative estimate would be that the occupational therapy schools of present can fill only one tenth of the demand for girls in their profession.
Art teaching is also a profession in which the demand for teachers can not be filled. Not only are there many fine opportunities in this state but recently Detroit, Mich. asked if the University of Kansas could furnish them 30 art teachers. The same is true throughout the country. The demand can not be filled.
In the advertising profession a student has the opportunity of selecting work from a wide field including display work, fashion illustration, layout work, lettering, packaging, letterhead, poster, etc. Artists for these jobs are in constant demand in the large cities; opportunities are limited in small towns. The reconversion period has developed jobs in this field because of the increase in advertising new and revised products. Each manufacturer is attempting to present his product to the public in the finest form possible. This makes use of the artist in not only redesigning but in packaging, display and advertising.
For a similar reason the creative design field will also experience a definite "boom" that will reflect directly in the increased employment of creative designers. This is a tremendous field that covers manufactured articles from furniture to the printing of dress fabrics. A strong indication of the need for creative designers is indicated by the number of designs that are purchased from the students in the design department each year by prominent manufacturers and studios in New York and on the West Coast.
Every modern business demands the services of trained artists, and the demand increases yearly.

Two Coeds Offer Challenge To Williams and Connell
To the Daily Kansan: In the May 15 issue of the Daily Kansan, we read with amusement two junior boys' criticism of the dress of the average girl on the K.U. campus.
We were amused because we really don't think the two vets who expressed their dislike for college girls' dress had any right whatever to do it.
After all, aren't they seen every day in ragged flying jackets, far more filthy than anything we ever wear, and which they say they are too proud to have washed?
Don't they wear horrid grey,
green, brown, and pink get-ups
thrown together from their already
threadbare, uniforms?
They have everything handed to them on a silver platter. The government is buying their education (whether they deserve it or not), they have all books furnished, housing is no inconvenience, and in short they have the best of everything.
And what are the "mannerisms" they speak of. Would they have the college woman a drinking, swearing, revolting image of the ones they had in every port and at every army town?
After all, a girl gets awfully tired of hearing her escort make little "war remarks" every time he sees an airplane or a man in uniform. We assume these little gestures of dry humor are designed to show, modestly of course, that deep down underneath he is really not such a hero, any more than we are. Apparently the war is going to last verbally until the last veteran is married and will commence to see reason under a woman's tutelage.
We would like to see if these men who have "come back from a grown-up world" have the ability and courage to speak on the subject at a round table discussion against two admittedly inexperienced college girls.
We sincerely believe they might do something about their own mannersism. When it comes to common politeness, we believe these high and mighty returned heroes could take a few lessons.
Returned heroes, you may consider this an open challenge. We call your bluff.

Girls' Campus Wear Chosen For Practicality, She Says
To the Dell Kansas: 'She lovesly; She uses Pond's' but Connell and Williams don't like her, Heels, hose, and dresses seem to be what the boys want, so let me make a few comments.
First, boys, bear this question in mind: What specialty would there be in a date if the girls wore such attire everyday?
I don't believe anything will ever replace the general sweater, skirt, anklets (if you please), and saddle shoes (which have been worn in colleges for ten-odd years) for the following reasons.
Heels and hose would definitely, be out of place on the campus even if everyone wore them. Ten years ago girls in colleges wore *hose* with oxfords but the style has changed due to practicality, warmth, and more recently, war-time scarcity of rayon, silk, and nylon hosiery;
Three-inch leeels are hard on one's feet after a few short hours, not to mention everyday wear. If you married a woman who had worn heels all through her college career, you would most likely be paying doctor bills for the rest of your life.
Sweaters and skirts are by far more practical than dresses, just ask anyone who went to college ten years ago. However, I believe your point was concerning sloppiness. According to the opinions of those who know, there is more sophistication displayed in coed schools than in private women's colleges, whose prime function is to produce well-groomed young ladies.
Concerning the girls in Kansas City and Topeka, what do they wear to school on week days? Frankly I have failed to ever see a girl on this campus go out on a date who was not properly attired for the occasion. Stick around on week-ends and see for yourselves. And beside, the majority of us try to look halfway decent even at 8:30 in the morning.
I agree that jeans have their place at picnics and equitation classes only. However, women are not the owners of all those dirty saddle shoes—and how about those yellow cords and those "rare" blue jeans accompanied by scanty T-shirts displayed by the freshly discharged veteran?

Third Place: Post-War Problems Speech Contest
College Junior Discusses Whether Vets Should Join Fraternities
The often debated question of the worth of fraternities has recently been given a new twist. Added to the old problems concerning fraternity life is, "Should a veteran enjoy a fraternity?"
In recent years it has been a popular vogue to criticize Greek letter societies and to do everything possible to destroy them. The average G.I. has been brought up on this unjust criticism.
He has been led to believe that fraternities are "kid stuff," that they take up too much time, are too expensive and above all are snobbish and undemocratic. Although these criticisms are justified in some cases, they are, for the most part, greatly over-emphasized.
By BEN FOSTER
Fraternities are certainly not "kid stuff." Although they are for high school-age boys, their purpose is to make men of these boys.
What can they do for a veteran who has matured during his time in service? They can help to make him an even better man. If we consider the fraternity from the purely monetary standpoint, the veteran can't afford not to join.
Living in an unorganized house, as most veterans do, costs almost $65 a month for room and board alone. The house bill of the average fraternity man is about $50 a month. This not only includes room and board but also fraternity dues.
Fraternities certainly do not make too much time from school work. They require that their pledges be in study hall every week night with
the exception of Wednesday and at any time during the day when not in class. Also, in order to be initiated a pledge must have at least a C average.
The greatest criticism of the fraternity system has been that it is snobbish and undemocratic. This, to a certain extent, is true. However, much of this criticism is unwarranted and due to misunderstanding. A fraternity is no more snobbish than any other campus organization
They differ from other organizations only in that they are limited because of lack of space in their chapter houses. Any man who is interested in joining a fraternity may indicate that interest at the beginning of a school year and he will be rushed by the fraternities.
The greatest thing that a fraternity can do for a veteran is help him become re-adjusted to college life. He will be with a group of men of his own age group, many of whom are also veterans, who understand his problems and will help him with them.
A fraternity will help him regain the social graces which he may have lost during his time in service. A fraternity builds a feeling of respect and admiration for the University as no other organization can
Last of all, a fraternity can help a veteran become a greater asset to his community and country when school days are over. 11
What then is the answer to the question "Should a veteran join a fraternity?" Obviously the answer is yes.

How to Stay Out of the Hospital

By R. I. CANUTESON, M.D.
(Director, University Health Service)
Defective hearing is not at all uncommon in young people. Use of the audiometer in routine examinations may be insufficient. Under line hearing losses that would otherwise pass unnoticed.
In spite of good anatomical protection of the delicate hearing receiver of the middle ear, it is subject to a great variety of injuries and insults. Leading are infections such as common colds, excessive noises of modern life and the handkerchief.
There is nothing so effective in forcing infection producing secretions into the Eustachian tube (soft collapsible tube leading from throat to middle ear) as a forceful blowing of the nose, when one or both nostrils are held shut or are blocked by swollen membranes. The handkerchief is essential in protecting the public from your coughs and sneezes, but it also is responsible for many ear infections and subsequent hearing loss.
Measles, diphtheria, sinusitis and
infected tonsils take their toll in impaired hearing. Congenital deafness, of which a small percentage is due to syphilis, handicaps thousands of youngsters.
Then there are many caes of ear injuries resulting in hearing loss. Blows on the ears sometimes incurred in diving or boxing, or concussion from explosives often break the ear drums. If no infection occurs, the membrane heals with normal function; but when infection follows, hearing may be damaged.
Although man has long since departed from his amphibious state, swimming need not damage normal ears. But if you have ear or sinus infections avoid diving or underwater swimming. Occasionally in diving or in water games, normal ear drums are broken. At such times you will be fortunate to be swimming in clean water.
War injuries emphasize the damage that repeated or continuous loud noise can produce on the ear drums and inner ear. And this is not confined to war areas. Industrial and city noises and the incessant blare of radios can produce the same results. At the same time it appears that a generation is growing up that hears best only in the presence of loud noise.
Many cases of beginning hearing loss can be arrested by adequate treatment; cleaning up infections of nose, throat and sinuses, and by removal of obstructing tonsils and adenoids. A fancy little operation offers relief in some cases.
For cases where hearing loss is advanced, modern hearing aids are a great comfort, but don't let yours get to that state.

Cave Man and Date Couldn't Take Moonlight Boat Rides, Profs Claim
If there had been a K.U. during the Pleistocene era, about 25,000 years ago, there wouldn't have been any boating parties on the Kaw river, because there was no Kaw.
There was no eastern drainage during this period, and all the rivers flowed south, according to a recent article on the "Westward Extension of the Kansas Equus Beds" by John C. Frye, geology professor, Dr. Claude W. Hibbard, curator of the museum of vertebrate paleontology, and Dr. A. B. Leonard, associate zoology professor.
A series of piracies by nature which turned the Saline river toward the east and captured other south-flowing rivers as it went, formed the rivers of Kansas.
In the vicinity of the Saline and Smoky Hill rivers is a terrace in which have been found numerous species of pre-historic life. Similar specimens have been found near McPherson leading scientists to believe the river flowed in that direction.
Specimens found in this terrace include skulls of prairie dogs, molars of pre-historic horses, and land and water mollusks, snails, and clams.
These specimens were found near a high-level valley, called Wilson valley, and were of the type usually found in wooded areas and in deep still water. This indicates the valley probably was a wide permanent stream of fairly deep water bordered by timbered slopes. So little is known of the invertebrates of the Pleistocene era that it cannot be certain whether the species are of the beginning or closing stage of the interglacial period.
In one digging the lower jaws and parts of skulls of prairie dogs were found, but there were no indications of the dog town. However, a dog town was found lower in the digging, but no skeletons or other indications of the dogs. Further searching may show the age of these remains.
Nearby excavation turned up mollars of horses, disproving the theory that no horses were present in Kansas until the Spanish came.
The tallest living tree in the United States, 364 feet high, is a California coast redwood in Humboldt State park. Some claim it is the tallest tree in the world.
Fireman Drops Dead at Banquet
Topeka. (UP) — Fred W. Baer, Washington, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters dropped dead at a banquet of the Kansas State Firemen's association here last week.
Baer had just begun to address the gathering. A former lieutenant in the Kansas City, Mo., fire department, Baer had opened his speech with a humorous story concerning his experience at a fire years ago.
He stopped the narrative and fell backwards. Many of the dinners thought it was part of the story and a wave of laughter swept the audience. However a companion sitting next to Baer at the speakers table saw that Baer was ill and called a physician.
Baer died before the physician arrived. The inhalator squad of the Topeka fire department and three physicians attempted to revive Baer unsuccessfully.
Baer had been president of the International association for 27 years.
Horace Greeley founded the New York Tribune in 1841.
'Penrod' Readers Mourn for Tarkington
Indianapolis. (UP)—A generation of Americans who grew up reading "Penrod" and "Seventeen" mourned today the death of Booth Tarkington, one of the nation's best loved novelists.
Tarkington died Sunday night at the age of 76 in his rambling, tree-shaded home just four miles from the scenes of his boyhood. He died of a bronchial obstruction.
His wife, Susannah, was with him when he died. Friends and relatives said death was not unexpected. He had been ill for almost two years and spent the last two months in bed.
Private services will be held in the big, English-style Tarkington home Thursday, and burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery here.
Even in his last illness, the "gentleman from Indiana" retained the sly wit and gentle sarcasm that made his novels among the most widely read in American literature. Before he died he had been writing a story to be published serially in the Saturday Evening Post.
Tarkington, whose understanding and love of children was written into "Penred" and "Penrod and Sam," had no control of his own life, relatives or friends.
His closest relatives were three sons of the late James, all of whom live here.
Cecil John Rhodes, the greatest of he African millionaires, went to africa for his health.

Snyder 'Wants To Be Alone' With His Piano and Flowers
Paul Snyder, associate professor of piano, prefers having interesting pupils and being left alone to the life of a concert pianist. Professor Snyder joined the School of Fine Arts faculty last fall.
A concert tour in Europe from 1933 to 1936 gave him a taste of the concert artist's life. He played in such cities as Milan, Rome, London, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm. Previously he had studied for four years in London, three in Berlin and Italy, and two at the University of Chicago.
Farming is one of Professor Snyder's specialties outside the music field. A victim of the housing shortage in Lawrence, he calls his farm in Michigan "home." It was there that he spent three of the war years farming before coming to the University and, "didn't touch a piano during that time."
Hopes of buying a farm near Lawrence have not been realized, but he came to Kansas prepared. Specializing in anamylis and begonias, Professor Snyder has about 200 plants in the university greenhouse now. He explained, "I had hoped to find a house by spring and wanted to have some flowers to set out immediately."
Before coming to K.U., Professor Snyder tough for three years in the Horton institute in Kansas City, gave private lessons while in Europe, and taught in Chicago after his return from the tour.
He was married in 1925, and has two children. Mary, 16, is studying art in the Cranbrook school near Detroit. Christopher, a blond 10-year-old, is in the fifth grade at Pinckney school and "is engrossed in studying the cello at present," his father said.
Professor Snyder has appeared in recitals in Kansas City, Emporia, and it the Cranbrook school, as well as on the University faculty series this year.
'And When They Got There
The Postoffice Was Bare'
Chicago. (UP)—The radio call came in clear:
"Squad 22 . . . Squad 22 . . . meet beautiful blonde in distress at Beverly Hills post office. . . That is all."
The crossing policemen prick up their ears and their speed.
When the cops arrived at the postoffice, there wasn't any blonde to play postoffice with. Disappointed they reported the mystery.
Beverly Hills is a district on Chicago's far South Side, as well as the California home of movie stars.
The highway police's radio engines checked into the radio call. It came, he learned, not from his own station, but direct from California state police.
Somehow, by some freak of the airlines, the call intended for California cops was heard by Illinois policemen. By a further coincidence, the Bedford Park autos are numbered similarly to those of the West Coast officers.
All women students planning to attend the conference at Estes park, Colo., from June 10 to June 20 may contact the W.Y.C.A. Mrs. Christine Alfred Y.W.C.A. secretary, said today. Arrangements for transportation and other details will be made.

Moving was under the supervision of Mrs. Anita Yoder, geology librarian; W. H. Schoewe, geology professor; and Arthur Bowsher, graduate student.
"Library hours will remain the same as they were in Snow hall." Mrs. Yoder said. "The library will be open afternoons and evenings during the week and from 9 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday."
Several new pieces of furniture, including a librarian's desk, and reading tables, have been added.
"There are more than 8,000 volumes in this library." Mrs. Yoder explained. "Many of them were acquired by an exchange service, whereby the geology survey departments of various states and foreign countries send us their publications in return for ours."
The United States supreme court first met in 1790.
Besides containing geological publications, the library also contains material on mining, chemical and petroleum engineering, geography, and astronomy.

SPOTLIGHT
SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Coach Don Faurot of the Missouri Tigers has graciously bestowed the 1846 Big Six football championship upon the Jayhawkers, according to C. E. McBride, sports editor of the Kansas City Star.
It is about this time of year that opposing coaches start giving away the conference title, and you will hear periodically from now until next fall the moans and groans of all the head men of the football staffs.
The question was brought up when Missouri's trainer said that the Tigers would go to the Rose Bowl next January 1 if they ever went. So Faurot promptly shed some crocodile tails about Missouri's chances in the Big Six race next fall.
Perhaps Faurot was trying to put George Sauer on the spot, but I don't believe he can succeed that way. Jayhawker students and fans know that Kansas will have too many weak spots to challenge the Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners for the title next fall.
If Faurot would be so kind as to send about a dozen of his more than ample supply of good linesmen to Kansas, the Jayhawkers might have a chance for the championship. But you can't win the conference title with an inexperienced line, regardless of backfield strength.
It will be a big mistake for anyone to start thinking in terms of a Big Six championship for the Jayhawkers next fall. Perhaps in two or three years the title may become a reality on the Kansas campus. At any rate, Jayhawker football destiny is looking up.
The Jayhawkers have made rapid strides in Big Six sports this year, and they should continue to do so next year. Kansas won three league championships, more than any other school.
The basketball, outdoor track, and tennis teams were undefeated in conference competition. It is a real feat for one school to produce three unbeaten champions, but the Jayhawkers hope to repeat in all three sports next year.
Kansas finished second in golf, fifth in football, fifth in indoor track, and fifth in baseball for a record that is much better than that of last year. But it can stand a lot of improvement, and I believe we have the coaches who can put the Jayhawkers right up at the top of the heap in Big Six athletics.
Sidelights . . . Several Nebraska sports writers and fans at Lincoln asked me what the Jayhawkers thought of George Sauer, and I got the impression that perhaps they would liked to have had him at Nebraska next year...
Coach Dana X. Bible of Texas has come out with the recommendation that colleges not be allowed to contact high school athletes. I wonder whether the fact that he will have 65 lettermen back next fall had anything to do with his suggestion.
Another item from down Texas way concerns Bobby Layne, the boy who passed and ran the Longhorns to victory over the Missouri Tigers in the Cotton Bowl this year. Texas won 10 baseball games to take the league title with a perfect record, and Layne hurled seven of those 10.
Bob Fenimore, star Oklahoma Aggie halfback who will be drafted this month, may perform for Army on the gridiron next fall.

Bandman Beach Is Confused by Danneberg Interested in Medicine, Advertising, Nancy
P. B. Niles
JOHN BEACH
John Wesley Beach, organizer, director and first trumpet player for the Johnnie Beach orchestra, has one ambition in life these days—to figure out his business manager, J. R. Danneberg.
A month or so ago the manager of the Estes Park dance pavilion came through Lawrence and stopped off to audition the Beach boys. Beach thought he had a contract for the summer sewed up, but Danneberg said that he could get a better price.
So out went Danneberg with the dance club owner, spent an evening talking business, and came back with glowing reports of his success in making a deal. Since then they haven't heard one word from the manager and no contract has arrived.
That was until yesterday. The manager called, arranged for the Beach band to come out to Estes park for the last part of the summer, agreed to all the terms in Danneberg's offer and wished them good luck. Now Beach is trying to decide whether Danneberg has been holding out on him or whether the lad is just lucky as a business manager.
Beach is a pre-medical student who got his start in the navy V-12 program at Louisiana State university. After several months of service as a pharmacist's mate on training vessels off the coast of the States, he was sent to Harvard where he

Although he can enter med school next fall, he's thinking of going into advertising for he got a taste of selling advertising for the navy paper at L.S.U. and he thinks it's a lot more fun than dispensing pills.

A Boiled Octopus Isn't Bad Eating, But Once Is Enough, Says Othman
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Rome. (UP)—It's a good thing my squeamish bride wasn't with me today. I've been eating octopus soup with clams, including the shells, dropped in artistically among the tentacles.
I figured if I were going to have a look at the place where the emperors used to toss the Christians to the lions and then take a peek at the new king in his Palazzo (which could◀
Shutting my eyes and trying not to recall my bride's horror at lesser delicacies, I plowed in and I can report that a young octopus boiled tender in proper spices isn't bad eating. It's reminiscent of the rattlesnake some Texans fed me in Washington a few weeks back. I followed same with spaghetti and fragile which means not frogs but strawberries. Away I went then to look over the Coliseum.
ing in his Palazzo (which could use a new coat of orange colored paint) I'd better have some solid nourishment. The waiter at the restaurant Tibernum Margutta called the manager who called the cook who said the fish soup was magnifico. How was I to know he meant octopi with pink legs six inches long like radish tails? Ah, well.
This is where Emperor Flavian forced the town's criminals to fight tigers and on dull Saturday afternoon fed Christians to the lions.
The cages for the Christians and lions still are intact, and I should say that there wasn't much difference two thousand years ago between the lion and Christian accommodations.
The Coliseum looks much as it did in your ancient history book (remember?). Only histories don't say much about modern day Romans tagging onto suckers like me, trying to sell us genuine imitation cameos and replicas of the Coliseum in solid lead. I had so much trouble shredding these babies that I probably missed some of the sights. The 2coliseum in any event is a whopper and if it weren't falling to pieces Billy Rose undoubtedly would try to lease it for the Roman water follies.
So I had an Italian aperitif, and shagged across town to the Palazzo Quirinale, a neat little shack several blocks square which the new King Humbert calls home. Folks gather in the square out in front every night or so at sunset for a look at him, and I guess I was in luck.
When the people had cheered long enough, the police in their swallow-tail coats with red bindings stood at attention, the doors of the upstairs balcony opened, and two flunkies in full dress suits rolled a royal flag

across the rails. You should have heard the Romans cheer.
Pretty soon the king came out in a sky-blue uniform, squinted at the setting sun and took a bow. He waved to his subjects and he bowed some more. From where I stood he seemed to be a nice looking citizen except for his hair which is getting thin on top.
The citizens yelped then for the queen, and pretty soon she came out, too. She was a handsome woman in flowered blue and white dress, and when she had been cheered sufficiently her husband motioned for their children to come outside. These included the 9-year-old Prince of Naples, a blond youngster with a pleasant smile who is expected by some Italians to be the next king. But let us not get involved in Roman politics. It's more complicated even than the American variety. And almost as noisy.

It was a satisfaction to see the king, but hard on the feet, and anyhow I got fascinated with the cops in those long-tailed coats with brass buttons down the backs. They also wear swords.
They have red stripes down their pants, and they top themselves off with tricorner hats like Napoleon's. They are the most magnificent police I've seen anywhere in the world, and when they also wear whiskers they look ferocious. They seem to be as polite as they are deluxe, and

Topeka. (UP)—Gov. Andrew Schoeppel has announced that he will join the law firm of Foulston, Siefkin, Bartlett, and Powers, Wichita, after completing his term of governor and shortly after the first of the year.
Gary, Ind. (UP)—A 71-year-old judge showed a towering 35-year-old defendant in Lake Superior court that he means what he says when 'he calls for order.
Sackett seized him around the neck, and down went Underwood again.
Sackett went into action.
Virgil grew angry at Mrs. Norma Devine, a witness for his wife, rushed to the witness stand and smacked her in the eye.
When He Says 'Order,' Judge Means 'Order'
The judge got up, climbed back on the bench, smoothed his hair, sentenced Underwood to 90 days in jail and fined him $200 for contempt of court.
I think it probably would be a pleasure to be arrested by a blue-coat straight out of Gilbert and Sullivan.
But contempt was not among them.

Hollywood. (UP) — Dancing teacher Kenny Williams predicts that jitterbugging is on its way out and the waltz is on its way back in. It's about every 50 years. Williams has observed, that the waltz returns to popularity, then slips back into second or third place behind some hot jump dance.
His conclusions were strengthened by his experiences teaching the Charleston to high school hepcats for the 20th Century-Fox technicolor musical, "Margie," starring Jeanne Crain, Alan Young and Glenn Langan.
"The kids had no trouble learning the Charleston steps, but they complained that the music was too fast. That indicates to me that dancing is slowing up again."
Williams said the waltz first became popular in 1850.
"It caused plenty of talk at the time. It was the curse of the generation and the dance of the devil, according to thousands of ministers."
"But people kept right on waltzing until 1860, when the first of the
'hot' dances—the polka—was introduced. It keeps the jitterbugs of the period jumping until 1880, when a dance called the can-can was taken out of the dives of Paris and made respectable."
But a reaction set in after that, he said, and by 1900 waltz again was the top favorite.
"As usual, the people couldn't keep their feet on the dance floor long, and by 1910 they were jumping again to the cakewalk. It held its own until the one-step, fox-trot, maxize, bunny-hug and so on became popular.
Those fads gave way in 1925 to the Charleston, the dance craze of the century, he said. Theaters all over the country sponsored Charles- contests and no vaudeville show was complete without a couple of the leg-knockers.
"Since then, the dancing has been slowing down," he said. "And I'm looking for the regular 50-year revival of the waltz quite soon."

Byrnes May Refer Treaties To UN
Washington. (UP)—Secretary of State James F. Byrnes' surprise threat to refer European peace treaties to the United Nations assembly if the Russians continue to veto a peace conference was certain of strong senate support today.
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich., who accompanied Byrnes to the unsuccessful foreign ministers meeting in Paris, plans to make a short statement in the senate today —preliminary to a longer report on the meeting later.
Byrnes made his threat last night in a radio report on the failure at Paris—a failure which he placed on the shoulders of the Soviet union. It was part of what Byrnes, disappointed but not discouraged, called America's "offensive for peace."
Rvrnes said:
"The objective of our offensive is not territory or reparations for the United States." The objective is peace—not a peace founded upon vengeance or greed, but a just peace, the only peace that can endure."
This came after Byrnes outlined Russia's demand for reparations from Italy and her original demand for trusteeship over an Italian colony, as well as Britain's current insistence upon British trusteeship over one Italian colony.
American officials said Byrnes' threat to refer the entire peace treaty matter to the United Nations was a surprise. To their knowledge he had not revealed his "ace" to Soviet foreign minister V. M. Molotov in Paris.
Byrnes promised to return to Paris June 15 with determination to reach agreement with Russia on outstanding issues about peace treaties with Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Finland.
At that time he will renew his demand for calling a peace conference of all 21 nations that fought against the Axis in Europe for July 1 or 15.

1,000 Tribesmen Re-Enact History In War Memorial
The K.U. band and five other University students participated last night in the "Pageant of the Peace Pipe". Indian celebration at Haskell institute, honoring the 500 American Indians who were killed in World War II.
More than 1,000 Indians gave thanks to the Great Spirit for peace and prayed that it should continue "as long as the sun shall shine and the rivers run to the sea."
The K.U. band under the direction of Russell L. Wiley opened the pageant with a 30-minute concert. Francis Adams, College freshman, played the part of La Salle in the memorial pageant. The students who played in the Haskell band are Benjamin Nelson, Engineering freshman; Jack Marlar, College freshman; Dale Wing, College freshman; and Finn Burnett, Fine Arts freshman. Burnett also plays in the K.U. band.
In ceremonial costume, Indians from 76 tribes danced the pipe dance in honor of their war dead. The peace pipe was smoked by the Indian chiefs representing 'their different tribes and by a party of white men who were special guests. The guests included Tom Evans, Kansas City, described as the only white man who ever attended Haskell institute. He represented President Truman at the ceremony. Alfred M. Landon, presidential candidate in 1936 and former governor of Kansas, also was present.
More than 1,000 Indians re-enacted the history of the wars between the Indian nations and the white men from the French and Indian War down to the unconditional surrender of the Japanese.
Ten thousand persons watched by Indians veterans, who now attend Haskell, portray the flag raising scene of Iwo-Jima, paying tribute to all their fellow tribesmen who went to the Happy Hunting grounds because of the great war.
The first public demonstration of ether as an anesthetic was at Massachusetts General hospital, Oct. 16, 1846.

The University has been allotted $75,000 from the state war e gency fund for housing veteran students.
Jay Janes, women's pep organization, lost representation on the All Student Council Tuesday night when the Council voted representation be granted to the Y.M.C.A.
The Y.M.C.A. had a representative to the council until the organization became inactive during the war. The restriction of the Council membership by constitution to 30 members necessitated the elimination of some group to make way for the YM's return...
Y.M. Replaces Jay Janes On Student Council
The foreign student scholarship committee reported that three applications have been received from students in European countries. The applicants, residents of Holland and Norway, are eligible for entrance to the University under existing ergulations but will need guarantee of subsistence in addition to the scholarship allowance.
Dean Henry Werner recommended that presidents of organized houses be contacted so subsistence might be arranged for these students. George Worrall and Carolyn Nigg were appointed to the selection committee of foreign students.
The Council appropriated $100 to the Y.M.C.A. for reorganization. Twenty-five dollars was appropriated for advertising and publicity for the food preservation program.
George Caldwell interpreted for the Council the Big Six ruling on Negro competition in varsity athletics. Caldwell then moved that the Council recommend to the university administration that a definite provision be made as soon as possible permitting negro athletes of K.U. be eligible for varsity intercollegiate competition. The motion carried.
The council will meet next Tuesday at 7:15 in the Pine room of the Union. Installation of new members will be made after the meeting.

primary physical aspect to consider is that of the health of both individuals involved.
"If a couple is in good health," he said, physical defects or bad hereditary histories can easily be excused. For a happier marriage, couples should try to look always for the good qualities in each other. Background may often be overlooked."
"One of the faults of our educational system is that most courses beat around the bush and never get
down to facts which are so essential to couples considering marriage," he added.
Knowledge of sexual relationships is essential before marriage, Dr. Cunatesson said, in a question and answer discussion after his speech.
Length of engagement and marriage age are a matter for personal choice, he said, the important thing being the compatibility of the young couple. Compatibility he defined as similar likes 'and dislikes, similar thoughts, and similar outlooks and ethics.
The concluding address in the series on marriage will be made by the Rev. Mr. C. F. Hughes, of the Plymouth Congregational church, on Tuesday. His subject will be "The Moral Aspects of Marriage."

A Harness for Old Muddy
For many years the season of spring has been synonymous with the season of floods for millions of people along the Missouri river and its tributaries.
During the first four years of the 1940's those floods destroyed nearly 150 million dollars worth of property and inundated 2,250,000 acres of land The Missouri river basin covers a 10-state area, is 1,300 miles long and 700 miles wide, and embraces one-sixth of our land and seven million of our people.
In spite of this river's great importance to the Middle West, concerted efforts for its control and development were not begun by the Bureau of Reclamation until the late 1930's.
During 1944 two plans were presented to Congress for the control and development of the Missouri river valley. One of these was a Missouri Valley authority plan modeled on the T.V.A. The other plan was a system of development and control by army engineers, often called the Pick-Sloan plan.
The plan finally adopted was the Pick-Sloan plan, now referred to as the Missouri River Basin Plan, and backed by a two billion dollar fund.
Last week construction began on the Kortes Dam and Power plant, 60 miles southwest of Casper, Wyo. This is the first major project in the Missouri River Basin plan which calls for more than 100 dams, 150 irrigation projects, more than 20 power plants, and hundreds of miles of flood-control levees and dikes.
The present program is designed to accomplish much in harnessing "Old Muddy" but critics of the plan continue to press for the adoption of the M.V.A. They point out that the present project concentrates too much on various flood control measures along the Missouri river with too little attention to the reclamation of eroded land and proper control of the many tributary streams and rivers.
They stress the fact that the area drained by the Missouri and its tributaries far exceeds the Tennessee valley area and for that_reason there should be a more unified and comprehensive program that will benefit all the inhabitants of the valley as the T.V.A, has done in its area.
The present plan is a good start but it should be only the first stage of a larger program in turning the Missouri into a servant of the Middle West rather than a destroyer of its land and property. At a time when the Middle West is looking forward to its greatest era of industrial and agricultural development, the harnessing of the Missouri river and its tributaries will be a major factor in its future.
We see Spike Jones, the orchestra leader, has thrown his hat into the ring for governor of Oregon. It might be a good thing if he won. There are plenty politicians playing the role of Nero nowdays and they could probably use a leader.
As if things weren't bad enough, Secretary Vinson has admitted that the multi-billion-dollar loan to Britain would result in a direct economic rivalry between Anglo-American interests and Russia.
One radio commentator recommends that we send John L. Lewis to the next peace conference to bargain with Molotov.
Mississippi Care
Reconversion Director Snyder has recommended that the national government take steps to cope with the needs of greater college accommodations for more than two million students. Representative Rankin of Mississippi was quick to voice the opinion that it was purely a job for the states to handle. He said, "We are taking care of our people in Mississippi and other states can do likewise."
In the school year of 1942-43 Mississippi spent less than any other state per child on primary and secondary education, only $34.60. Also she paid her teachers the lowest salaries in the nation, an average of $654 per school year. Is that taking care of a people's education?
We don't know about the condition in Mississippi's colleges but if her primary and secondary schools are any indication, we would hardly say that Mississippi is "taking care of her people."
We find out that the women of the country own or control 65 per cent of the nation's money. Now we know why the country is in an economic mess.
When President Truman first entered the race for Senator from Missouri, his biggest backers were a group of railroad men. Now the railroad men are giving him one of his biggest domestic headaches.

Zoologists Need Initiative, Good Grades
By RAYMOND HALL (Professor of Zoology)
An ability to impart to others, by writing and speaking, what the zoologist discovers or recommends is a must. Initiative and a bump of originality, as in other undertakings, are two of the zoologist's most useful tools.
In the past three weeks the department of zoology and the Museum of Natural History have received requests for four histologists, two physiologists, one paleontologist, nine general zoologists, five ichthyologists and five mammalologists.
The demand for general zoologists, ichthyologists and mammalogists is expected to continue
Some of these positions are in universities and colleges, where a combination of teaching and research is required, but most of them are in research organizations, as for example, federal and state agencies. The salaries offered range all the way from $2,000 to $12,000 per year. Openings are for persons who have obtained the master of arts degree or the doctor of philosophy degree and do not take into account the scores of openings for senior students and beginning graduate students who are needed at K.U. and other universities to serve as teaching assistants at stipends of $750 to $1050 while continuing work for higher degrees.
A genuine interest in wild animal life and the out-of-doors is one recommendation for success but in itself not enough. Practical experience on the job and good grades in courses are other essentials. By means of field courses in summer session and between sessions when students do their work on the Great Plains and in the Rocky Mountains, K.U. provides "on the job experience." Good grades work out this way: when a request is received for a vertebrate zoologist to work in Nebraska or Tibet, three good students are recommended. All are interviewed and one is chosen. The poor student hears about the best jobs only after they are filled!
Rock Chalk Talk
By STUBBS and SHELDON
First reactions. Marjorie Star must have thought Corbin hall wa having a picnic breakfast the other morning.
When the 7:30 bell rang, Mari jumped out of bed, glanced out the window at the pouring rain, groped in the closet, and started out the door and down the steps putting on her raincoat as she went. She was nearly to the first floor before Bobe Parker, also a bit drowsy, noticed her and remarked, "New robe, Mari?"
But maybe she knew what she was doing. They had grapefruit for breakfast.
That smooth Potter mud. Bob Southern and Carl Meyer might have appreciated a water-proof covering of some sort one evening last week when the Kappa Sig pledges decided to give their pledge trainers a surprise dunking party.
A wolf at any age. Mary K. Sims found out Friday that when it comes wolfing age doesn't make any difference. She was on a train with her brother enroute to Burlington, Ia. and happened to be sitting in the club car between two very happy middle-aged gentlemen who became increasingly inebriated and insisted on becoming better acquainted. Finally her brother came to the rescue, leaving two sad and dejected men.
Attack and counter-attack. The D.G.'s paid a "visit" to the Sigma Nu lodge while the boys were at a Theta hour dance last week.
Used to their neighbor's pranks the Sigma Nu's set out across the clearing in seach of vengeance, and the D. G.'s. When the forces met, pandemonium broke loose in the D.G. abode. Bob Dawson is still nursing bites on his leg and some D. G. must be a jujitsu artist for Bud Seaman sailed through the air and landed with a thud in Dick Parcell's face.
Anyway the Sigma Nu's regained their loving cups and peace, if only temporary, has returned to the West Hills neighbors.
Kittens for sale. Dean Donald M.
Swarthout will soon be putting out a sign reading, 'Please--doesn't
someone want a kitten?", if he doesn't find a way of getting rid of 13 of them soon. The Dean gives daily reports to his a cappella choir on the rapidly changing number of feline boarders.
Open house. Monday evening during chapter meeting, three unidentified D.U.'s took advantage of the situation and removed the front door of the Gamma Phi house. But three Gamma Phi pledges sitting at an upstairs window couldn't miss seeing their door traveling down the walk on six legs.
After much persuasion the door was returned to its hinges. It seems the feud started when four Gamma Phi's attending a dinner at the DU, house removed their dinner bell.
A ripping good time. Elaine Thalman must have enjoyed the a capella choir trip to K.C. Sunday, As she was stepping out of the bus, she ripped the side off of her coat and then she sat down on a splintery chair and got five runs in her nylons. But she didn't say a word—Sunday, you know.
"Welcome home, Conk." Eugene Conkin has made big plans for his "veteran comes home" party. It seems he doesn't think the first one was staged properly, so he plans to drive to DeSoto and take a train to Lawrence for the real thing. (Notice: University band required, and all feminine volunteers please phone 975.)
The girl and the squirrel. Screams from the roof of the Tri Delt house brought the girls to the roof en mass. Norma Jean Snyder had been taking a sun bath when a squirrel dropped to the roof and started chasing her (or so she says). Armed with brooms and mops the girls finally persuaded the squirrel to leave.
But that wasn't all. That evening he returned and hid in Bobbie Meyer's closet. There were more screams and more swinging of brooms and mops before he left. Some people just don't know when they aren't wanted.

Housemothers Club Continues Activities
Sewing for Bundles for America, packing boxes for overseas, and doing work for the County Convalescent hospital has kept the University Housemothers club busy during the war years.
Formal meetings of the club are held four times during the school year, but its work of helping the Red Cross and the needy at the hospital goes on all the time.
The organization also gives a $50 scholarship to a needy student each year. This scholarship was established in 1923, and each year the scholarship commission chooses a person most worthy of this gift.
The almost 30-year-old University House Mothers club is primarily a social group organized to provide a definite place in University society for the housemothers. Card parties, luncheons, and an annual picnic are on the calendar of events for them each year.
First organized with about 30 members, the club soon grew until it could not hold meetings in the various organized houses. During the depression years when many of the houses had to close the membership dwindled, but now it is back to normal again.
Guests were Wade Arthur, Charles Aylward, Charles Banfield, Richard Barton, William Bennett, Jack Brownell, Marshall Butler, Frank Campbell, Anderson Chandler, Lawrence Diehl, Malcomb Dryden, Everett Gille, John Kangs, Charles Hall, Donald Harris, Ralph Hedges.
Mrs. Annie Pillsbury Young and Mrs. Gertrude Pearson were early president of the organization. Mrs. Ralph Baldwin has been president for several years, and has been re-elected for next year.

Wiley's 'Westerners,' Mattern's Caricatures, Ventriloquists Dummy' Entertain Carnival
Cowboy music, caricatures, and ventriloquism entertained about 200 band and orchestra members and their dates at a carnival in the Military Science building Friday.
"Find out what you really look like," was the sign over the booth where Karl Matter, associate professor of drawing and painting, drew caricatures.
The post-war counterpart of the cowboy band that once entertained K.U. crowds appeared when Russell L. Wiley, band and orchestra director, dressed in cowboy regalia, and his 30-piece outfit, made up of members of the University band, played during intermission.
The finale of the rodeo was Ben Shanklin's singing "Empty Saddles," as Mr. Wiley explained "the cowboy rides into the forest never to return and his lonely horse comes back to the corral."
Alvin Haggard and Constance Cultra, as Frankie and Johnnie, the tap dance team, did "the most difficult steps ever attempted by man," as Frank Stalzer, pianist, played the wedding march.
"Doc" Brown, ventriloquist, and
his dummy, Dennis McGinnis, were featured at intermission. Playing all characters in a puppet show, "Your Neighbors and Mine," Mr. Brown led the actors through the plight of an inebriate returning home at 3 a.m.

Blue Jeans May Be Comfortable, But Your Posture Is Better In A Formal
"Good posture is a 24-hour of the day need, every day of our lives," Miss Joie Stapleton, physical education professor, declares in an article of a professional education journal. On the campus this is just as true, she told the Kansan in a recent interview.
"The craze for blue jeans and other informal attire is not conducive to good body posture," she said. "Women in general are very careless, but a woman is enough of a showman to ^
want to take a formal evening gown she is quite different from what she is swaggering along in a pair of blue jeans.
"Even the veterans are slumping and letting down now that they are no longer under military discipline."
By "posture," Miss Stapleton means good body position for the task at hand, whether it is standing, walking, sitting, or playing a game, not the popular misconception of the "tin soldier" at parade attention.
"Changing habits of bad posture at college age is just like trying to reform a solid vase into a brand new shape," she declared. "The place for correction is in the primary grades or before. Some functional changes could be made, but very often bad posture gets so well established that changes in body structure have taken place."
Not all of the poor body alignment on the campus is the student's fault. Miss Stapleton believes.
Most of the chairs in the University are built to the same pattern and size, but students aren't. The practice of taller men putting their feet on the rungs of the chair ahead of them is undesirable, but not unexplainable, she said.
"Good body position depends upon a balance in which the least possible strain is exerted. When students sit for three or four hour a day in ill-fitting chairs conductive to poor body alignment, some negative results are inevitable," Miss Stapleton observed. "At college level, with the importance of other problems facing them, students make posture take a back seat.
"The whole business of personal appearance and what it means to an individual is receiving so much emphasis from Hollywood authorities and others that some are giving special posture training to their personnel who are required to represent the firm to the public," Miss Stapleton said. "Posture-trained personnel is more efficient," she added.
"You don't build a house from the second story down." Miss Stapleton remarked, emphasizing the feet as the base for posture. "To many persons, posture means 'inhale, chest out, stomach in, chin up, and look smug', she added.
In physical education classes, posture correction is indirect, consisting mainly of learning the difference between bad and good form required for a particular sport, Miss Stapleton explained.
"Posture has not been emphasized lately by physical educators," Miss Stapleton said. "Correct posture training must start with the very young child before he develops poor body position.
"At college age," she summarized, "it is too late to improve most poor posture without a real effort, but it can be done."
Wheat Harvest Jobs Available—Werner
Forty men have applied for work on the wheat harvest this summer and more are needed, Henry Werner, dean of men, announced today. The men will be paid $7 to $10 a day with room and board. Work in Kansas will begin about June 13.
The type of work most frequently chosen by applicants is tractor and truck driving. Other types are combine operating and wheat scooping.
Men will start with the Kansas wheat harvests and gradually work northward. "If they wish, they may work all summer and go on up to Canada." Werner added.
Applications may be made in the Dean of Men's office from which they are sent to Kansas State College at Manhattan. The survey is being made by Frank Blecha, state supervisor' of emergency farm labor.

Socialite Joins Circus As Horseback Rider Despite Parents' No
New York. (UP) - Elizabeth Wight, pretty 19-year-old socialite from St. Louis, is an enthusiastic salesman for the circus among the social set of her home town.
"I think it's so wonderful I could talk anybody into it," she smiled.
But Miss Wight — Bunny to Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey—does more than talk. She acts.
acts.
The socialite - performer rides horseback, skips rope with the ballet girls and rides the elephants, and she's learning the "cloud swing", a tranzee act.
"But I don't want my mother to know," she whispered.
Mother, Mrs. Ira E. Wight, Jr., and father, a former lieutenant-colonel, were shocked when Bunny joined the circus.
"But mother came on and met all the wonderful people and saw what it was like and changed her mind," Bunny said.
Now her brother Ted, 17, wants to join the circus and her St. Louis friends who have seen her want to join.
Bunny came to New York two years ago after graduating from Garrison Forest, a girls' school near Baltimore. At first she took a secretarial course in the mornings and attended the School of American Ballet in the afternoon. The next year she worked a half day, mostly modeling, and studied ballet.
Last February she joined the circus in New York and was sent to winter quarters at Sarasota, Fla., as a production girl. Calling on her ability to ride, a training she received at the Wight farm near Clarksville, Mo., she proved she could get in the act.
Now she wants to tour with the big top. She will, too, "if mother will let me."
Study Flood Control
Silverdale. (UP)—A comprehensive army engineering survey and study of flood control on the Arkansas river, including irrigation and soil conservation, was underway here today.

School Spirit Ran Rampant In Days Of 'Wa Hoo! Buchu!'
Robinson Gym Was Scene of Noise Confusion—and Even Egg-Throwing
"Hyperbolic paraboloid, Tangent to a helicoid; Round ellipsoid prolate spheres, We're the K.U. engineers."
This is not a problem in geometric design. It's just an old "school" yell the engineers used to give at pep convocations held in Robison gymnasium.
"You bet we can," Miss Lea answered.
"We can remember those days, can't we?" Dr. Paul Lawson, dean of the College, remarked to his assistant, Miss Veta Lear.
"It must be 15 years since we've had one of those convocations," Dean Lawson continued.
"Or maybe 20," Miss Lear added. College students always replied to the engineers' yell, Dean Lawson said, with:
"You've got the yell.
We've got the knowledge;
Rock chalk, Jayhawk K.U. College."
And the law students, he said, sang:
"We are, we are, we are, we are, the K.U. Laws;
We are, we are, we are, we are,
we are the K.U. Laws.
It's all because of him, our dear old Uncle Jim.
We are, we are, we are, we are,
we are the K.U. Laws."
"But when the lawyers started singing, the engineers began 'yelling' again," Dean Lawson commented.
He explained that the greatest rivalry existed between the law students and the engineering students, who were better organized than students of other schools because of their centralized locations for classes. College students, then as now, attended classes all over the campus, he said, and were organized "loosely."
Miss Lear nodded, and they both laughed.
"Miss Lear," he asked suddenly, "remember the time the engineers and the lawyers were throwing eggs at each other?"
Raising his right hand, Dean Lawson told how one of the faculty members tactfully tried to stop the "nonsense" by saying "Gentlemen, please."
"But just then an egg splattered on his white vest," Dean Lawson said, lowering his hand into a clenched fist. "And he yelled, 'Up and at 'em, you.' Are you going to let them get away with this?"
"I guess that was about the last of those 'school spirit' demonstrations," Dean Lawson added. "They gradually died out as convocations began to be held in Hoch auditorium."
The "school" yells at one time were printed in the K-books, the 1920-21 K-book the last to contain them.
The yell of the School of Pharmacy was:
"Erydictum, glutinosum;
Chronodendron, tomentosum;
Wa Ho! Buchu!
Pharmacy, pharmacy. K.U."
The medical students had this one:
"Castro condy! Tonsillitis!"
Vermifuge appendicitis!
Anatomics orthopedics!
Bet your life we're K.U. medics."
From the School of Law came:
"Jayhawk, Jayhawk, Jayhawk, we
Rock chalk, Jayhawk, double
Rock chalk, Jayhawk, double L.B."
Among "tips for new students" in this 1920-21 K-book, was one urging them to "go to rallies called to learn the yells and songs, to meet the coaches and players and to become imbued with the Kansas spirit."
Also, there was a notation concerning the caps that the freshman men were requested to wear "through the football season, and after April 1st, unless you win the Olympics from the sophomores." It was referred to as a "distinctive mark which will enable you to be recognized easily and make acquaintances with your classmates."
Dean Lawson said that freshmen, wearing their caps, were "paddled as they walked up and down the campus.
"But those days, too, are gone forever," he said. "I don't believe the
returning veterans would stand for it."
Junior League Organized
Stafford—American Legion Junior baseball teams are being organized as a league in Stafford, Hutchinson, Pratt, and Lyons. League winners will compete in district and state tournaments.
Besides games to determine league winners, the teams will compete with towns in other leagues.
Housing Committee Set Up To Handle Graduation Visitors
A University housing committee has been created to facilitate the reserving of rooms in Lawrence for visitors to the graduation exercises.
Dean Gilbert Ulmer, chairman of the committee, urged members of the class of '46 desiring rooms for their guests to contact Miss Mildred Clofdelter, assistant secretary of the Alumni association, by mail as soon as possible.
Dean Ulmer said he believed that there will be adquate rooms available for visitors but that requests should be made early so that they may be processed and the last minute congestion held to a minimum
The housing committee will have its quarters in the Alumni office until June 16. After this date the committee will be moved to registration headquarters in the Union.
Questionnaires have been mailed by the Alumni association to all classes having reunions to ascertain theousing needs of returning alumni.
All rooms available for the period June 15 to June 17 inclusive may be reported to the committee for immediate listing.
Republicans To Choose Successor for Skovgard
Most prominently mentioned as potential Marshall county offerings are Rep. Fred S. Beattie, Vermillion, and R. G. Thompson, Irving.

ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
Now that all Jayhawker varsity sports competition has been completed, attention will focus on the playoffs of the intramural softball tournament which starts Monday.
This tournament always has drawn a lot of interest on the campus, and the playoffs this year should be one of the best in many years.
years.
Only two teams, Phi Delta Theta and PT-7, are undefeated in league play, but the other teams were evenly matched. Many fans think the two undefeated teams will meet in the final game for the title, but others believe a dark horse will upset this pre-tournament dope.
If these teams should come through the playoffs unscathed, the final game should produce one of the hottest pitching duels in intramural history between Loren Burch, PT-7, and Ray Evans, PhD Delt.
There has been a lot of discussion this season as to which of these two is the better pitcher, and each man's fans will give his reasons for supporting his favorite at the drop of a hat.
Both are excellent hurriers, and much can be said for each one. But the final decision will have to wait until the two teams meet.
\* \* \*
I believe the intramural system at K.U. could stand a few changes which would help clear up some of the confusion about certain points.
As the system works now, each team furnishes one official for its own games. Before the war, officials signed up before each sport started and were instructed how to officiate at a rules interpretation meeting. These men were paid a small sum for working each game. This salary was taken from the fund which was built up by a small fee for each team participating in that sport.
It seems to me that better officiating was the result. It also did away with many charges of partisanship and biased umpiring. No man was ever assigned to work a game in which his team or organization was competing.
If enough men are interested in seeing some change made in the present system regarding the officials, the intramural office probably would be glad to co-operate in setting up a new standard. Let's have your ideas on the matter.
The faculty athletic representatives continue to beat around the bush concerning the question of appointing a commissioner of Big Six athletics when they met at Lincoln.
It was rumored that the athletic directors had recommended a man for the job and had sent their recommendation to the faculty committee, but nothing was done except to table it until the next meeting which will be held this winter.
It seems to me that a commissioner is needed now more than ever, and I think the faculty representative should take a definite stand, one way or the other. It's time the Big Six gets its head out of the ground and takes some positive action.
Intramural Tennis Golf Into Finals
The men's intramural tennis tournament has advanced to the semi-finals, and these matches must be played this week.
John Shelton, Beta Theta Pi, tangle with Jerome Wildgen, Sigma Chi, for one of the final berths. Bill Daugherty and Bill Howard, both members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, clash in the other semi-final match.
Bob Cyan, Delta Tau Delta, has advanced to the finals in the men's intramural golf tournament. His opponent in the title match will be decided when Harry McClure, Phi Delta Theta, and Jerry Ewers, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, play their semi-final game.
PT-7, Phi Delt, Beta, Sigma Chi Kappa Sig To Men's Softball Finals
PT-7, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and Kappa Sigma have gained intramural softball tournament playoff berths. The playoffs start Monday with eight teams competing for the championship. The other entrants will be decided this week.
PT-7 and Phi Delta Theta are undefeated in league play. The Phi Delf's have finished their schedule, and PT-7 plays its last league game today against the V-12 (A) team.
Sigma Chi won the Division III title with six victories and one defeat. Old Timers, Ship's Co., and Phi Gamma Delta finished the season tied for second place, and preliminary playoffs to determine which two of these teams would enter the final tournament started Tuesday.
The Phi Gam's defeated the Old Timers 7 to 2, but the Old Timers protested the game to the umpires. The protest was referred to the intramural office. The protest came when a Phi Gam scored on an overthrow at third base, and the Old Timer third baseman claimed that the Phi Gam spectators blocked his vision so that he could not throw to home plate.
Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Sigma tied for second place in Division I, but the Beta's defeated the Kappa Sig's in a playoff game 23 to 8 Tuesday to take second place. Both teams will enter the championship playoffs Monday.
Carruth holds second place in Division II, but it plays the Phi Kappa's today to complete its schedule. If the Phi Kappa's score an upset victory, Carruth will be tied with Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon for second place, and a playoff will be necessary to determine which team will enter the playoffs.

Map-Makers Fix Postwar Atlas, Cross Their Fingers, Hope For Best
Chicago. (UP) — "When is a nation not a nation?" is a question that has Rand, McNally and company, the commercial map-makers, peering puzzling at a globe.
To school children it's very simple. A nation is a country that shows up as a globe of red or of yellow on a man
But Rand McNally has to decide how big that glob should be, or whether it should be on the map at all.
And that calls for global thinking
Back in that era for global thinking
Back in 1939, Czechoslovakia almost broke off diplomatic relations with the map company when it smeared Germany down over what had been Czechoslovakia.
"We had quite an exchange of correspondence with the then Czech minister of the government in-exile to the U.S." according to Dr. Carl H Mapes, Rand McNally's research geographer.
"But it was a matter of fact and record that Germany had taken over what had been Czechoslovakia. In determining when a nation isn't a nation, we ask who controls the customs, ports, banks and so forth. If you wanted to go to Czechoslovakia in 1839 you'd have had to apply to the German government for your visa."
"Our duty as map-makers," Dr. Mapes said, "is to show the world as it actually is, not as it is wished it is. We have been accused of being pro-Nazi, pro-Japanese and color-blind."
After V-J Day the company waited for the diplomats to announce squatters' rights and define boundaries. But when the council of foreign ministers exploded in resounding silence in London last fall, they decided to go ahead with the publication of new maps.
Nervous break-downs did not become the occupational disease of mapmakers until 1931. That was the year Japan took over Manchuria from China and dubbed it Manchuko.
Then Italy gobbled Ethiopia, having Albania for dessert. Rand McNally rushed to the colors, but China, Ethiopia and Albania thought they were the wrong colors.
Their forthcoming atlas will show nations as determined by three things:
One—Armistice terms.
Three—Bilateral treaties.
And then company officials will retire to air-raid shelters to await the wrath to come.
Pony Express Brings Gala Hutchinson Mail
Hutchinson. (UP) — Around a mile-long table, running down the center of Hutchinson's main street, citizens celebrated the 75th anniversary of the town's founding in a picnic Thursday climaxing a week's observance of the Diana Jubilee
The frontier celebration went into full stride last night when "pony Express" rider Paul Long dashed up to deposit his bag of mail, including letters from President Truman to Wagon Boss Jay Wooten and from senators, congressmen and other notables. Long and other riders had carried the pouch from St. Joseph, Mo.
Approximately 100 couples, all married more than 50 years, took part in a special golden wedding ceremony.
Navy Asks For Ships With Atomic Energy
Washington. (UP)—The Navy has asked congress for funds to develop atomic energy plants as a source of power for propelling ships—particularly submarines.
Capt. R. D. Conrad, director of scientific planning for the naval office of research and inventions, urged the house appropriations committee to grant $1,500,000 for the necessary research. He said that submarines will soon be "obsolescent" unless greater power plants can be developed.

Californià Gets Shipyard Houses
Richmond, Calif. (UP) -- "Vet Village," part of a vast housing project, where workers in Henry J. Kaiser's bustling but now almost deserted shipyards once lived, is the University of California's answer to the housing problem brought on by a record enrollment of ex-servicemen.
When the spring term opened in March, the Berkeley campus found itself with a total of more than 15,000 students — 92 per cent above last year's enrollment — with a record total of 4,000 veterans enrolled under the GI Bill of Rights.
The college was faced with an acute housing problem because few of the 64 war-closed fraternities have reopened and an always-present San Francisco bay area shortage of housing left few vacancies for veterans.
The immediate solution was the Richmond Housing authority, a sprawling collection of two-story apartment dwellings which at its wartime peak housed 20,850 shipyard workers who labored in Kaiser's four shipyards here.
Still in business, but now renting only to veterans, the RHA turned over a total of 30 units to the college—15 to house single veterans and 15 for married ex-servicemen. In addition to the servicemen who quickly filled "Vet Village," several hundred married ex-GF's went directly to the RHA and rented quarters.
Housing authority officials estimated as many as half of the 4000 veterans enrolled are quartered in the Richmond project.
Since single men receive only $65 a month under the GI Bill of Rights for subsistence, the college offered the furnished apartments to ex-servicemen for $12.50 a month per student. Usually, two men share a three-room apartment, which includes bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath.
Married men, granted $30 by the government, usually pay rent of $30 a month — or even less, if they seek a rent adjustment from the housing authority and prove their inability to pay the regular rate.
A "housemother" serves as supervisor over every two apartment houses in "Vet Village." None of them yet has reported any difficulty in enforcing discipline or the few house rules set up by the university, barring frequent violations of the 10:30 weekday curfew imposed on lower classmmen.
"It is somewhat difficult" one supervisor explained, "for an ex-army major in his 30s to have a 21-year-old upper-classman tell him he has to be in by 10:30 p.m. during the week."
Babylonians used the first wheeled vehicles about 3,000 B. C.
The college also grants meal tickets at low weekly rates and preserves the armed forces' custom of "seconds at chow" in an effort to help the ex-GI meet his budget.

Maybe He Didn't Know French, But, Ooo La, That Folies Bergere
By FREDERICK OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris. (UP)—A motherly looking woman with marcelled white hair in the lobby of the Folies Bergere said did I want to see them weegle?
My knowledge of French is limited to the restaurant menu. Even then I frequently get creamed fish when I expect lamb stew. The Folies Bergere can't possibly corrupt my morals.
The theater wasn't as big as the lobby, but it was fancy in an 1880 style with red plush seats, a pipe organ, an enormous orchestra tottling full blast, and a series of church bells on the proscenium which went bong to emphasize the jokes. The show began like a cheap burlesque and then to my everlasting amazement it turned into the most elaborately staged and costumed review I ever saw.
I said what weegle? She produced a postcard with a nude figure on it. When held in front of an incandescent lamp it wegged. For 50 francs, she said, it would weegle the rest of my life.
Minsky's was never like this. The lobby was cavernous. Around the edges were shops selling the weegle postcards; handsomely framed oil paintings of the stars fully clothed, half clothed, and unclothed; dolls and statues of same; photo albums of ditto; and books of jokes; some of which I understand aren't politic.
It made productions like "Oklahoma" and "Up in Central Park," look small time.
The girls came out in swirls of brocades, sequins, satins, silk, furs, ostrich feathers and taleum powder.
The show lasted from 8:15 until midnight, with 20 minutes out for a glass of weak beer, and the longer it continued the more surprising became the thousands of yards of glitter which went into the gowns.
The stage swirled. New sets came down from above without the curtain ever falling and the designers achieved numerous effects of perspective by placing the performers of hidden hooks all the way to the ceiling.

Homemaking Courses Proposed Requirement For College Coeds
'All Girls Are Going To Be Homemakers For Themselves or Family,' Lawson Says
A request that two courses, Fundamentals of Homemaking I and II, be required of all College women students for graduation unless substitution is made of an alternate program was read at the College faculty meeting Tuesday.
These courses to be voted on by the faculty in their June meeting would be offered as junior-senior courses for three hours credit each.
By Bibler
"All girls are going to be homeowners either for themselves or their families." Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, commented on the new proposal. "These two general courses or the alternate would give the students a better idea of homemaking as a whole, than the present system of free election."
"If this measure is passed," he said, "we will be setting a precedent that other universities will watch with eyes wide open." The dean explained that letters from other universities have expressed their interest in this project, a step that has not yet been taken by a university in the home economics field.
The three alternate programs which may be chosen instead of the two general courses would meet the needs of students who remain in the college only a year or two, of the students who expect to major in home economics, but have not yet made a definite decision, of those who prefer more laboratory work, or for some reason prefer more intensive working in special areas, Dean Lawson said.
At the present time many women students enroll in one or more courses in home economics which they elect freely. Fifty-eight per cent of all women students now enrolled in the college have taken or are enrolled in at least one course in home economics. Sixty-two per cent of the senior women will have taken one or more courses before graduation, and of the freshmen women approximately 56 per cent have already taken or are enrolled in one or more courses in home economics.
This requirement would not be retroactive. It would apply to students entering this fall or perhaps not until the spring semester of 1947, Dean Lawson said.
Additions to the home economics summer session course, approved by the faculty include "Marriage and Family Relationships," to be taught by Dr. Robert G. Foster, Merrill Palmer School in Detroit.
Dr. Foster is nationally known in the field of marriage and family relations. He lectured on marriage at an all-university convocation last year. This summer, he will also teach a graduate course. "Problems of the Pre-School Child," and give lectures on marriage and the family.
Summer session courses primarily for high school home economics teachers adopted at the meeting are "Recent Developments in the Field of Textiles" and "Present Day Housing Problems."
The high school algebra course given at the University for no credit and the course in intermediate algebra carrying three hours credit have been combined into "Elementary and Intermediate Algebra" which meets five times a week for two hours college credit. This arrangement will save the student one semester's work in mathematics, the dean said.
The course in Human Relations will emphasize the case method of study. If passed by the faculty, it will carry three hours junior-senior credit. The course is based upon the Harvard studies of Dr. Carroll Clark, professor of sociology, on human relations.
Fundamentals of Homemaking will be a two-semester course giving three hours of junior-senior credit length semester. Fundamentals of Homemaking I will discuss the characteristics of successful home and family life, personality interactions in successful marriage, the care and guidance of the child, maintaining family health, the selection of good diets and the essentials of good nutrition, and the prepara-
K.U. Donor Dies In Wisconsin
***
THE AUTOMOBILE MAN
ORLANDO JOLLIFFE
Orlando Joliffe, 89, donor of funds used to purchase Joliffe and Foster halls by the University, died Tuesday at the home of a niece, Mrs. George Warren, at Sturgeon Bay, Wisc., where he had gone to spend the summer.
Funeral services will be held Thursday in Peabody, Mr. Jolliffe's home.
His contributions, totaling $50,000,
were presented to the University
in the belief that in order for college
students to be instructed properly
they must live wei.
In 1942, the university purchased the former University club, at 1505 Ohio, with funds provided by Mr. Jolliffe. This hall was named for the donor. Later the same year, the former Acacia house at 1200 Louisiana, now Foster hall, was added, also as part of the Jolliffe contribution.
Both halls are now occupied by women, but according to University officials, they will be used eventually as residence halls for self-supporting men, as originally intended.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott said today. "In the death of Orlando Jolliiffe, the University and the youth of Kansas have lost a loyal friend. It is our hope at the University of Kansas that we may continue to perpetuate his ideals in the operation of Foster hall and the other residence hall which bears his name."
Mr. Jolliffe was for many years president of the Peabody State bank, and served three terms in the Kansas legislature. Other business interests besides banking were oil, cattle, and farming.
The discussions in Fundamentals of Homemaking II will include the management of the family's resources, housing and its relation to successful family life, the preparation of budgets, consumer problems, buying selected articles, and the selection and care of clothing.

Resolutions advocating an international atomic development authority and a vote on the state prohibition question were carried at a meeting of the Young Republicans club in the Kansas room at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The international atomic authority discussed would have the power to inspect all possible facilities in every country for signs of secret atomic work. A civilian committee would be created to regulate atomic use in the United States.
The resolution covering a "wet" or "dry" Kansas, which was unanimously adopted, calls for a popular vote following the next session of the state legislature. The vote would either make Kansas "bone-dry" or permit state controlled, privately operated and owned package liquor stores. The advertising of liquor would be prohibited.
Fred Thomas, College junior, was elected chairman of the Young Republican club. Other officers elected were: Jean Francisco, College junior, treasurer; and Sarah Stuber, College sophomore, secretary.

Ong To Head International Group
The International Relations club held a dinner meeting in the English Room of the Union Tuesday night. Prof. H. B. Chubb, faculty advisor, spoke on the success of the UN conference held by the students Saturday.
Officers elected for next year were Donald Ong, president; Dick Hawkinson, vice-president; Eloise Hodgson, secretary; and Robert Boch, treasurer.
Plans were made to hold another UN conference December 7, next year. This was the last meeting of the club this year.
Western Civilization Valuable, But Too Much for Ill-Prepared Freshman
The consensus of the group was that Western Civilization is a valuable course but that it places too much of a burden on freshmen as their preparatory work is insufficient.
Robert Ryberg presided over the meeting. Sixteen students and one proctor were present.
Evaluation of Western Civilization was discussed by students taking the course at a forum Tuesday night in Green Hall.
An entrance examination for reading and understanding ability and acceleration of the course with three tests during the semester and one
comprehensive test were suggestions offered.
Virginia Rogers, College freshman, pointed out that there were too few books for the number of students taking the course.
Clinton Hurley, College freshman, suggested that a group of professors get together and weed out the facts the students are told to disregard and put the material of the course in two large books or volumes which the students could purchase.
John Stauffer, College freshman, commented that students could get more from the course, if there were more than the one examination on which the grade would depend.
UN Says Iran Stays on Agenda
New York. (UP) — The United Nations Security council refused today to remove the Iranian case from its agenda after Iranian ambassador Hussein Ala expressed doubt that all Red army troops have left Iran.
After hearing Ala contradict his own government and charge that the Azerbaijan army had been equipped, trained, and uniformed by Soviet officers and agents, the council adjourned discussion of the Iranian case "for a short time" with each member retaining the right to raise it at any time.
He told the council flatly that the Iranian government "has no authority in Azerbaijan province" — the area to which it sent a commission to determine whether the Red army had left.
Ala, whose charge that the Soviet Union was still interfering in Iran was repudiated by his government yesterday, was called to the council table at the suggestion of the Netherlands delegate.
U. S. delegate Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., opened today's meeting with a demand that the council keep jurisdiction over the Soviet-Iranian dispute in view of the contradictions between Iranian statements in Tehran and those by Ala here. He also served notice that the United States still may ask for an independent United Nations investigation of the Iranian situation.
The council rejected a Polish proposal to send the Iranian government a telegram asking whether it was satisfied that Russian troops have left. Poland would have requested a yes or no answer.
Lt. Condmr. R. W. Fleck will meet with all naval reserve officers attending the University or officers who are living in the Lawrence community at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater. Condmr. R. J. Baum, executive officer of the University naval unit, said today.

Eight Dorms For K.U., K.C.S.
Parsons. (UP)—Eight dormitories to be moved from the new "standby" Kansas Ordnance plant here to relieve the housing problem at the University of Kansas and Kansas State college will accommodate about 1,100 persons, Capt. Donald M. McCrea, commanding officer, said today.
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel announced yesterday in Topeka that $75,000 granted each school probably would be used to move the dormitories to Lawrence and Manhattan.
Capacity of the dormitories is not known, but each dormitory has 150 rooms, Nichols stated. His information came from a phone call from Irving Youngberg, director of housing, who is conferring with the Federal Public Housing Authority in Fort Worth, headquarters for this housing district.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, told the Daily Kansan that he had received information this morning that the University would receive three dormitories from the Parsons plant.
Mortar Board initiation and election of officers for the coming year were held last night at the Chancellor's home.
Hamilton Elected To Head Mortar Board
Much of the furniture was moved to other housing shortage areas, Captain McCrea said, and now furnishing for only about 100 units still is at the plant.
The dormitories were built in 1942 when the KOP was in full production. However, housing never became so serious as anticipated, and the units were never filled to capacity.
Officers elected were Billie Hamilton, president; Emily Stacey, vicepresident; Lois Thompson, program chairman; Mary Breed, election chairman; Patricia Penney, song leader; Alberta Cornwell, corresponding secretary; Octavia Walker, recording secretary; Helen Howe, treasurer; June Peterson, historian; and Dixie Gilland, social chairman. Mrs. Mary Hughes, a transfer from another school, was also initiated.
Four Alma Maters For Smith, K.U.'s New Y.M.C.A. President
Holder of a men's residence scholarship, Smith lives at Carruth hall. He is said by some members of the hall to be the "motivation" behind all their social affairs.
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, retiring dean of women, was presented with a gift and refreshments were served in her honor.
Dancing and fishing are two of his extra-curricular activities, and he enjoys life much more when it is interspersed with dogs and cheese crackers.
Smith served on the committee which reorganized the Y.M.C.A. after two years of inactivity, and succeeds Luther Buchele as president.
Being a "motivating influence" and keeping up with a wanderlust take much of the time of Dean Smith, recently elected president of the Y.M.C.A.
For two semesters he lived at Watkins Memorial hospital where he held a part-time job.
He has a total of four alma maters, three acquired while in the army. His K.U. loyalty was preceded by semesters in the army specialized training program at Iowa State, South Dakota State, and Kansas State colleges, training to become an engineer.
As evidence that all is not frivolity with the new "Y" president is the fact that he was listed on the Dean's Honor roll in the College last year.
A College senior from Selden, Smith will enter the School of Medicine next fall. He is a member of Phi Beta Pi, professional medical fraternity. Since high school, he has been interested in medicine concerned with social work.
BULLETIN
Washington. (UP)—The railroad strike began at a p.m. EST today despite fervent White House efforts to prevent it.
Union and management representatives were still meeting at the White House when the deadline passed.
Philadelphia. (UP)—A nonunion crew boarded the Pennsylvania railroad "The Clocker" at 4:10 p.m. (EST) shortly after the regular crew had left their jobs. The railroad announced that despite the strike, crews "willing to work" major trains had been found.
Washington. (UP) President Truman met rail union and management representatives in the White House in a last desperate effort to obtain an agreement and avert a railroad strike scheduled for 3 p.m.
With the zero hour rapidly approaching, Mr. Truman called in management representatives while the chiefs of the two strike-threatening railroad brotherhoods were still in the White House.
He had been in conference for more than an hour with A. F. Whitney, trainmen president, Alvanley Johnston, engineers president, when he decided to summon carrier representatives.
There was no immediate indication whether the carriers were called in to consider a possible new proposal that might have been acceptable to the two unions. Whitney and Johnston had held out against a settlement offer made by Truman last night. The offer was accepted by 18 other unions and the carriers.
The White House conferences followed by a few hours separate discussions by John R. Steelman, presidential adviser with union and management officials.
The outcome of the crucial White House probably will determine whether the nation will be plunged into the worst transportation crisis in history.

A Time For Greatness
The following story was told in connection with a recent discussion of atomic energy and the future of the world. We believe the point it makes is worth repeating.
The incident related here took place during the 1960's. The world had just experienced a devastation beyond description. For 20 years the countries of the world had jockeyed for power positions while engaged in an armament race—a race based on atomic power.
The peoples of the world had not been able mentally and spiritually to cope with demands forced upon them by this revolutionary scientific development. They had failed to create a social and political structure to meet this technological advancement. The inevitable result of their failure had come.
Two apes came out of a deep cave to view the desolation. They had been fortunate enough to survive in the underground cavern. All around them there was no sign of life. The atomic war had been thorough and complete.
After wandering through this desolate world for many 'miles, they came upon a human body still intact. The apes nudged the body and rolled it over but there was no sign of life.
Finally the male ape turned to his mate and said, "My gosh, ma, do we have to start this thing all over again?"
The story has a humorous twist, and the first impression is that it is exaggerated. An atomic war will hardly eliminate homo sapiens from the earth.
But nevertheless there is a sober lesson in the story. An atomic war can destroy the type of society we now have. The world is at a critical crossroad and we can go forward to a greater, fuller life only by recognizing the fact and meeting it resolutely and intelligently. Or we can ignore the responsibilities that are ours and risk the entire future of modern society. The stakes are too immense to leave the future in the hands of fate or put our trust in any haphazard plan for the solution of the problems that go with the development of atomic fission.
It will soon be a year since the first atomic bomb exploded in a New Mexico desert. In that period we have accomplished relatively little toward setting up control machinery for atomic energy. The immensity of the problem of control explains to a great degree our slow progress. But we must continue to keep in mind the fact that we must find a successful solution and that we are working against time.
The technological advancement resulting from successful atomic research is so revolutionary that it demands an equally revolutionary advancement in the thinking and spirit of mankind.
It is truly a time for greatness—greatness in the hearts and minds of all people regardless of their place in society.
Where Was Everyone?
Visiting delegates to the campus U.N. conference Saturday expressed great surprise at the very small attendance. After seeing the publicity given to the meeting in the Daily Kansan and on bulletin boards all over the campus, they expected a large number of students would attend. Frankly our surprise was just as great.
This is one case where the excuse of lack of information will not hold up. There was certainly adequate publicity about the affair.
One hesitates to assume that K.U. students have little interest in international affairs and the future peace of the world. But it is hard to explain the very poor attendance last Saturday in any other way.
The great amount of work and research done by the student delegates was evident in the material which they presented. It is hard to see how any student who attended could not gain some valuable information from the conference proceedings.
Those who organized and took part in the conference are to be commended for doing a fine job. The lack of interest by the rest of the student body was disappointing and deplorable.
The delegates devoted a great amount of effort in preparing for the meeting. All that was asked of the remainder of the students was that they attend at least part of the session and benefit from the work of the delegates. That seems like a fair bargain.
Modern Rustlers Vex Kansas Cattlemen
Wichita (UP)—Cattle rustling that plagued stockmen of the old West today had returned, with modern equipment, to the ranges where thousands of head of cattle shipped from the plains of Texas and Oklahoma are fattening on Kansas grasslands. Farmers blamed the black market.
Rustling was reported heaviest in
Kingman, Harper, Barber, and Sumner counties.
Charles L. Weathered, Norwich stockman, offered a reward of $100 for information leading to the capture of rustlers, and predicted if rustling continued other donations would boost the reward to $1,000.
Home Economics Majors Needed In Schools, Hospitals, Nurseries
Jobby Lobby (X) :
By MISS VIOLA ANDERSON (Associate Professor of Home Economics)
During the war and the months following V-J Day, departments of home economics have been unable to find graduates to fill the many vacancies.
At the beginning of hostilities, many dietitians left their civilian occupations and were sent to all parts of the world with the armed forces. A considerable number still remain with military assignments or are attached to veteran's hospitals. To keep civilian hospitals operating during the war it was necessary to "freeze" a few essential dietitians in their positions and to carry on with a reduced staff. These hospitals, as well as commercial establishments, are now trying to fill their vacancies.
The demand for home economics teachers for high schools is heavy. Salaries have materially increased during the past two or three years, but the number of graduates applying for positions is inadequate, and it will be several years, probably, before the high schools of Kansas are able to secure as many teachers as they desire and need.
It has been difficult to find a sufficient number of well-trained nursery school teachers, also. Nursery school and child study programs are developing rapidly in colleges and universities.
Public utilities and appliance companies discontinued much of their home service work during the war, but are now planning enlarged programs. Air lines and industrial plants are needing help with their feeding problems.
Government services, such as the Farm Security Administration and the Extension Service, have suffered from the shortage of home economics-trained women capable of doing this type of work. There are several vacancies in Kansas which should be filled immediately.
In the field of communications those who combine ability to write with a good radio voice and personality and with home economics training will find a place to exercise their talents.
design, textiles, or interior decoration, are concerned. Students interested in these lines of work must break ground for themselves or go to other states.
Kansas is virgin territory as far as commercial work in clothing
During the past few months requests have come to the home economics department at the University of high school and college teachers, tea room and cafeteria managers, hospital dietitians, home management supervisors with the Farm Security administration, and for assistants in home service departments of utility companies.
Study beyond the four-year undergraduate program is necessary for college teaching, for membership in the American Dietetic association, for all the better positions in the child development program, for many of the government positions, and for research in any field. To encourage graduates to continue their studies many fellowships and teaching assistantships are offered by the leading colleges and universities. These usually provide stipends varying from $350 to $700 a year.
Home economics graduates are vitally concerned with consumer problems, housing, and general community problems. Active participation by trained women in attempts to solve these problems is necessary if the best interests of the home are to be served. Whether the graduate is a homemaker, teachers, dietitian, or engaged in some other line of work, she will have opportunities to work for the general welfare of the home and community.
The department of home economics offers several curricula designed to provide a liberal education while training for homemaking and for earning a living. It believes that a liberal education is the best foundation for any specialized training and that with this foundation and some specialization, both the short period in a profession or vocation which is the experience of most university women graduates and the longer period of homemaking should be well served. For those who make a life work of a profession or vocation outside the home, this liberal program provides a sound base upon which to build.

BTO—Mike Nichols turned on his charm Saturday morning to persuade an elderly farm woman to let the Sigma Chi's use her ducks in their pond at their party. He promised to take good care of them and to feed them well. They would have good clean water to swim in and he knew they would have lots of fun swimming around at the party. On the way home Mike was fulfilling his promise and was fondly holding one of the ducks in his lap. The inevitable happened.

Miss 88 Keys Sees Black and White Circles After Long, Hard Accompanying Sessions
"Miss 88 keys of the K.U. accompanying world" is Marjean Carr, a junior majoring in piano.
"Accompanying three senior_ recitals and the 'Seven Last Words' at the Presbyterian church in one week was fun and interesting, but everything was whirling around in black and white circles by the end of the week," Miss Carr laughed.
A student of Miss Ruth Orcutt, associate piano professor, Miss Carr is a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary music sorority. The organization has chosen her as its delegate to the national convention this summer in New York City.
This dynamo of the ivories began lessons at five years of age and has been going full swing ever since. She began her accompanying career in junior high school when she played for the glee clubs.
"As to my hobby," Miss Carr exclaimed, "accompanying is my avocation and I hope it will be my vacation. However, accompanying is still a man's world and is a hard field to crack."
This tireless worker enjoys her hobby and says, "After the hours of practice, I often know the program better than the soloist. You'd be surprised how much foreign language I pick up after playing for those French, Italian, and German selections."
"Trying experiences come and go in this field," she sighed. "When the music falls from the piano and you catch it with one hand, all you can do is pray that the other hand is still up there playing. Once when I was playing for a singer in Wichita, someone left the stage door open and the pages of the music blew back and forth. The audience was swaying right with me as I played with alternate hands and lunged every other minute to grab a page."
“One of the most embarrassing experiences I’ve ever endured,” Miss Carr grimaced, “was when I was playing the organ during church. The hymnal fell with a one, two, three whang, hitting all three manuals. I turned three shades—one with each sour chord!”
Miss Carr's only grievance is that after she practices the soloists' music, there is hardly time for her own practicing.

Carruth Winner Says Poetry Is Matter of Emotions; Feeney Hates Scanning; Osborne Likes Rhythm
Three poets, three poems, and three opinions as to what constitutes a good poet or poem are represented by the winners of the 1946 Carruth poetry contest.
poetry contest.
"Poetry is a matter of emotions and ability to express yourself," Betty Jean Nelson, author of the first-prize poem, "Three Seasons," commented.
William J. Feeney, whose "Christmas Paget" won second place, said he felt ill-qualified to list the merits of a good poet, but that he tries to work out a flow of words and a theme because he dislikes being confined to rhyme pattern.
George E. Osborne, whose "To Gabrielle" took third prize, writes poetry purely for his own enjoyment as an escape from heavier things, and likes a rhyme pattern as a structure on which to build.
Miss Nelson, College senior majoring in English, won second prize
Better Brush Up OnHandKissing MasterWolfSays
Hollywood. (UP) — There's been a lot of erroneous hand-kissing in Hollywood, on the screen and off, that's going to stop when a Frenchman here gets his say.
He is Paul Coze, the energetic and capable technical adviser on Darryl F. Zanuck's "The Razor's Edge" at 20th Century-Fox. There is a lot of hand-kissing in the picture by Clifton Webb and other French characters, and Coze stands by to see that none of it is muffled.
"The rules for hand-kissing are as strict as the rules for table etiquette," he said, "and a few lessons in them wouldn't hurt some of the pseudo-gallants around Hollywood who affect hand-kissing like they do cigarette holders and accents."
Here's what he told the cast about hand-kissing, and if you're an avocational hand-kisser you might well take notes.
Ooze feels so strongly about the whole thing that he did a book, which covers his specialty as thoroughly as Emily Post covers other matters of etiquette.
"Kissing the hand means equality of rank or that the lady is of superior rank," he said. "For example, a well-known and wealthy banker might kiss the hand of a music-hall star in order to make her feel that she is his superior."
"But the same banker will not kiss the hand of the old governess or the one who has been caring for his children for 20 years and is considered a part of the family."
Then Coze went on to outline what he called "typical amusing mannerisms" in kissing the hand of the lady with whom one is flirting.
If the lady wears one of the new above - the elbow gloves, well, maybe the man had a better idea in the first place.
when she attended the University in 1844. A year's experience writing verses for a greeting card company furnished her with practices in revising and improving style in poetry, she said.
“There was nothing I hated more in high school than scanning poetry, so I swore a mighty oath that, if I ever wrote poetry, it would be such as to defy any known method of determining whether it was iambic pentameter or dactylic hexameter, or what have you” Feeney declared. He is a College senior and journalism major.
Osborne said, "I like sonnets because it is satisfying to fulfill the limitations and still say something; a poet should have something to say." Although he is a graduate student

Insects, Drouths, Wind and Rust Didn't Daunt Early Kansas Settlers
What the Kansas plainsman called courage the Easterners called stupidity in the early discouraging years of wheat farming.
Easterners couldn't understand why Western farmers fought against the elements, Prof. James C. Malin, of the history department, comments in a recent article in the 'Kansas Historical Quarterly.'
Professor Malin's article, an historic agricultural study, tells about "The Soft Winter Wheat Boom and the Agricultural Development of the Upper Kansas River Valley."
Wind, wheat rust, grasshoppers, chinch bugs, droughts, and winter-killing threatened and destroyed some of the wheat crops during the decade 1872-1882. Mr. Malin wrote in the first part of his three articles, but at the end of this period, a new series of favorable reports were recorded.
The relative success of wheat farming in the middle 1870's, he said, brought about a "wheat fever," and the diversified farming methods had been adhered to earlier in the decade were neglected. The wheat boom replaced the corn belt and the upper Kansas river valley became known as "the Golden Belt."
Various strains of wheat were introduced during the wheat boom, their faults and merits being publicized in the contemporary newspapers. In his second research article on soft winter wheat, Mr. Malin tells of leading farmers and their experiments.
Adaptation to weather, soil, and climate conditions was required by the rugged Kansas farmers through the early discouraging years of wheat farming.
Modern machinery, new methods of farming, and control of crop hazards have long since been introduced. In a few months the farmers will harvest the golden grain with little or no thought about those who found wheat raising profitable despite their somewhat crude methods.

'University R.O.T.C. Lacks Quantity'
The University army R.O.T.C. has quality but lacks quantity, inspection officers said Tuesday following their annual inspection of the unit.
The inspection consisted of an examination and demonstration of all practical material covered during the past two semesters, and an inspection of the facilities available to the unit, such as the buildings, drill grounds, and the maneuver area.
Plans for the enlargement of the R.O.T.C., which now has 20 members, were discussed Tuesday at a luncheon given by the University in the Old English room of the Union building.
Those present were the inspection officers, Col. James P. Murphy, Seventh service command; Lt. Col. Charles C. Ege, and Major William S. Alldredge, Second army; Capt. J. D. Bradley, University R.O.T.C. commandant; Dean Paul B. Lawson, College; Dean J. O. Jones, School of Engineering and Architecture; Dean George B. Smith, School of Education; and James K. Hitt, registrar.
K.U. Purchases Six Army Surplus Planes
The University is purchasing six army surplus planes, but will have no place to put them until steel to construct a hangar can be obtained. J. O. Jones, dean of the School of Engineering, revealed today. The type of planes is as yet unknown.
The proposed hangar will be built at the local airport, east of the present hangar. Work was begun on the site last winter but was halted because of the steel shortage.
The planes are to be used by the students in aeronautical engineering. They are not to be flown but will be used for study purposes only.
The Boy Scouts were organized in 1910.

Bv BILL SIMS
Jim Richey, student intramural manager, has done a fine job this year in running the intramurial program, but he has been criticized by many for certain conditions and disputes which have arisen.
It seems to me that this criticism has been unfounded and unjust. Richey has acted as impartially as it is humanly possible to act. Just because he is a member of a fraternity which usually comes up with pretty good teams doesn't mean he tries to give his team an advantage.
Regardless of the individual who is at the head of the intramural program, some persons will criticize him whether that criticism is just or not. Anyone should know that under the present system the intramural program will present a lot of headaches, but I believe that Jim Richey has done as good a job of running the program fairly as anyone could have done.
I would like to see the intramural board reactivated because I think it would get rid of a lot of personal issues, both fair and unfair.
The student intramural board, under the pre-war setup, consists of one senior, two juniors, three sophomores, and four freshmen. The senior member was in charge, but all controversial issues were voted upon by the entire board. Under this system charge of partisanship were rarely, if ever, made.
Most persons I have talked to are in favor of returning to the intramural board system of running the program. There is far too much paper work concerned for one man, and this board with 10 members would help solve this problem.

The faculty representatives accomplished very little regarding the question of Negro participation in Big Six athletics at their meeting in Lincoln.
The committee merely put into writing the old "gentlemen's agreement" which has been in effect many years. Once again the committee failed to take any positive action on a controversial matter.
Under the "gentlemen's agreement" provision, Negroes may participate in competition between two schools which allow them to do so. In other words, Negroes attending Kansas may participate against Nebraska if they agree to permit it, but when Kansas plays Missouri or Oklahoma, they could not compete.
This sort of provision might work in track, tennis, or golf, but it wouldn't work in football or basketball. Football and basketball teams are built around certain key players, and you couldn't have a man in a key position if he could play only in a few contests. Big time athletics don't work that way.
The faculty committee came out with a high sounding declaration which meant very little. Let's hope that they accomplish something at their next meeting.

E. C. Quigley Cautions Jayhawker Athletes To Safeguard Eligibility In Summer Months
E. C. Quigley, University athletic director, today cautioned Jayhawker athletes who will compete in outside competition this summer to take every step in safeguarding college eligibility.
"Any men who are playing baseball or some other organized sport during vacation have only to secure permission from our faculty representative, Dr. W. W. Davis," Quigley pointed out. "A man is allowed to play on an outside amateur team if he is certified by his faculty representatives. If he doesn't take what little trouble it is to let us know in such a case he is quite likely to lose his college eligibility."
a case he is quite likely to lose his college record. Rule No. 7 under the Big Six code reads: "A student shall be ineligible to represent his college in athletic contests who engages in such contests unattached or as a representative of any athletic organization not connected with his college, whether in term time or vacation. Provided, however, that a student may be allowed to participate unattached or as a representative of any outside amateur athletic organization during the summer vacation, if he has secured permission from the faculty representative of the institution involved."
Carruth, S.A.E. Meet In I-M Softball Today
Carruth tangles with Sigma Alpha Epsilon today in the first game of a preliminary intramural softball play-off between the three teams which tied for second place in Division II. Alpha Tau Omega drew a bye in the first round and will play the winner of today's game tomorrow.
Phi Kappa defeated Carruth, 4 to 3. Wednesday to make a playoff necessary to determine which team will enter the championship tournament.
Phi Kappa took an early lead when Hill hit a home run to left field after consecutive singles by Warnen and Mahoney in the second inning. Carruth tied the score at three-all with single runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.

'Ah, Paris In Spring!" Othman Gets Misty-Eyed, Sentimental
By FREDERICK OTMAN (United Press Staff Correspondent)
Paris (UP)—Ah, Paris in the spring! Chestnut trees flowering white. Ancient gray buildings turning purple in the dusk. Rain glistening on Montmartre's cobblestones.
See? Every reporter visiting Paris has gone misty-eyed at its beauty and sat himself down at his typewriter to bang out a sentimental masterpiece. These essays mostly have come up goo.
Paris is the last stronghold of the plus four.
The gents who wear 'em usually accompany same with long white socks. The ladies dye their hair orange, lemon and pale strawberry color, except when they dye it sky blue or lavender.
Well, sir, I've got that sentimental feeling. The urge is strong to make a fool of myself in print. And what would you do? Talk about the formal gardens of the Tuileries so lovely that they almost hurt? Mention artists still trying to capture in paint the greenish-gray color of the Seine?
That is where the reporters get bogged down in adjectives, poor devils. Poor Othman. I've geed and hawd long enough:
I saw two men stop each other on the street, smile, say "aha," kiss each other soundly on both cheeks, shake hands, and go on their way. The chambermaid at the Hotel Etats Unis is my slave. I presented her with a piece of soap.
The bicycle built for two is a popular Parisian vehicle. Mademoiselle always rides behind, where she does most of the leg work.
A man in a beret in Paris does not look so foolish as a man in a beret in Hollywood.
Dinner for two last night cost me nearly $30. But as the waiter pointed out, it was a good meal. It certainly was, including strawberries in cream so thick it could be eaten with a fork. This was black market eating at its blackest, and I feel ashamed of myself.
There aren't enough taxis. The buses aren't much help, because nobody, including their conductors, has much idea where they're going. The city's dark bread has a nutty flavor, and probably is good for the teeth. Every girl I've seen has beautiful choppers.
Anybody who drinks water when he can get wine is regarded as a
dope. I've been thirsty for a swig of ice water ever since I've been here. Fashionable young men wear lace handkerchiefs in their breast pockets.
The house, which so far has one completed room, is the dream of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Snyder. And Snyder hands all the credit for it to book learning, both at the public library and in the Navy.
The ladies mostly have slightly different shapes from those at home; more curvy.
Malden, Mass. (UP) — A public library card was the passport to a seven-room, two-bath home now in the making at Malden.
American movies eight years old line up customers around the block. Order a cup of coffee and a bottle of liquid saccarine comes with it.
Months ago, the Snyders talked over the possibility of building with their own hands the home they'd always wanted. It had to have, for example, a basement playroom with an open fireplace, a living room with more than ordinary window space and a good-sized kitchen.
So Snyder acquired a lot from the city of Malden by paying its back taxes. The lot was on a hill-side composed of about 80 per cent rock, but Snyder just burrowed his way through by alternately heating the rock with a blow torch and pouring on cold water until the rock split.
'Booklearning' Beats Housing Shortage
I'm now going to have another vin blanc, get my suitcase and scram-scram. Me sentimental about Paris? I'm about to weep. Sounds silly, but it's true.
Then, guided by public library books on carpentry, masonry and other crafts, Snyder-aided by his wife and his father — built the seven-room house. The floors and the plumbing and the electricity aren't in yet, but Snyder's idea is to go slowly and pay for everything gradually so that he'll own his home outright.
Despite lucrative offers from house hunters, Snyder intends to keep the house, once it's built.

Congress May Hear Truman On Strike Crisis
Washington. (UP)—Sen. Harry F. Byrd, (D.-Va.), said today that President Truman is giving "full consideration" to Byrd's request that he appear before congress and ask additional powers to cope with the strike crisis.
Byrd first made his request in a statement Thursday night. He repeated it directly to the president today when he went to the White House as part of a group to witness the signing of legislation raising the pay of federal employees.
"I urged him," Byrd told reporters, "to come before congress to ask for whatever is necessary to stop strikes, if he needs any additional power, and for the power to punish those who are guilty of breaking laws.
"He said he was giving his full consideration."
Asked when he thought the president should appear before a joint session of the House and Senate, Byrd said, "the sooner the better."
"Iif the strike is not settled today, I think he ought to come tonight or tomorrow morning, to dramatize the situation."

What's The University Coming To? Now That Long Line-to-Pay-Fees Is Eliminated
University students for the summer and fall sessions no longer will face the prospect of sweating a long line for the payment of fees. All fees must be paid in advance of enrollment during the registration process Raymond Nichols, University executive secretary, said today.
Summer session students who were registered for the spring semester, 1946, will not be required to register again but will only call at the business office, according to the letter system, for fee cards and payment of fees.
All fees must be paid before enrollment, excepting private music lessor fees, and organ or piano rental fees, which are payable within four days after enrollment. Students who register will pay their fees during the registration process.
Students admitted to the University for the first time, and former students who have not been enrolled during the 1945-'46 school year, must register. Fees will be collected from such students at the time of registration.
Despite Strike K.U.Has Food For Two Weeks
Lawrence Supplied For Only Five Days; Little Relief Seen
You won't starve—yet. The railroad strike won't hit the K.U. beltline for about two weeks, a check of the University food service and organized houses revealed today.
The Union cafeteria Thursday received enough meat to last for three days. Miss Hermina Zipple, director, said, and more may be trucked in soon. The cafeteria gets chickens, fresh vegetables, and bread locally, and has enough canned goods to last for two months, she explained.
"The strike would have to last at least two weeks before we felt any shortage." she said.
University housemothers reported that their present supplies will last for about two weeks.
Lawrence citizens may be hungry within five days. Locally-owned grocery stores, some of which have up to 80 per cent of their produce shipped in, report that their supplies of perishables will last from two to five days. No meats are expected.
Five trains came through Lawrence Thursday night and this morning. The Santa Fe Chief which left Chicago last night was due here at 1 p.m. today.
Chain stores can hold out for about five days with present sources of fresh produce with lettuce, onions, and radishes being purchased from local farmers.
"Right now we can take care of anyone in any direction," he said.
Flour supplies will remain adequate, local bakers asserted, as all their flour is trucked in. They fear a possible shortage of wrappers and cartons, which are shipped by railroad.
Railroad officials said that the trains were manned by officials who had been engineers and brakemen. The trains were not overly crowded and only five persons from Lawrence decided to take a chance on traveling.
The Lawrence bus station reported only normal activity and travel. Extra cars are available if needed according to C. S. Woodland, manager.
Mails were still moving, according to W. B. Kirby, superintendent of mails. Nothing but first class matter is being accepted, and that with a maximum weight of one pound. Enough trains ran last night to clear all mail from the post-office.
As to the possibility of flying the mail out, Mr. Kirby said that if it became necessary, the government would use any means to keep the mail moving.
The local airport reported only one charter flight yesterday and it could not be definitely attributed to the strike.
Western Union reported an increase of telegrams saying "can't come" or "Won't start."
Engineers To K.C.
Twenty engineering students and Prof. E. S. Gray, department of mechanical engineering, are in Kansas City, Mo., today, inspecting mechanical engineering processes and manufacturing methods.

Needed: Some New Tools
On Wednesday President Truman affixed his signature to the housing bill, climaxing many weeks of debate, committee hearings, public discussion and an adequate portion of political shemanigans.
The bill as finally approved provides the following: a subsidy fund of $400,000,000; an increase of one billion dollars to the government reserve to insure home mortgage loans; the continuance until December 31, 1947, of the priorities and allocation authority for scarce building mate-
This preference to rentals in the purchase or rental of new homes, price ceilings on new homes; broad authority entrusted to the housing expeditor to issue directives to other governmental agencies regarding prices of building materials; and authority granted to the housing expeditor to curb the exporting of scarce building materials.
Although the bill lacks some of the features which Wilson Wyatt considers essential to a successful housing program, it should provide a good foundation on which to alleviate the present conditions.
But aside from the bill itself, Congressional action in this instance again brings into sharp focus the great need for an administrative reorganization of our national legislative branch. A great deal of precious time was consumed in considering this bill; much more time than it should have required. Congress is trying to do the work required of it by the present day world with tools that are out of date.
Members of Congress are already looking forward to the summer adjournment with many important issues still to be decided. To mention only a few: the army-navy merger plan, the British loan, the McMahon atomic energy control bill, the draft issue, the question of continuing price-control, and fair labor-management legislation.
Without a doubt, only a few of these problems will be solved before adjournment and yet they are all of great importance. For some years now it has been evident that congressional procedure must be speeded up and made more efficient. The many problems facing the country today make that need even greater.
Congress has recognized this necessity and a special joint committee was appointed to study the problem and make recommendations. That committee submitted its report on March 4, 1946, but little definite action has been taken since then to remedy the situation.
No one would have given a man a hammer and saw and told him to build the Empire State building; likewise Congress must have the proper tools to do its job.

Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science and sociology, considers the Trieste situation a matter of British policy versus Russian policy. "The United States," he said, "is simply backing up the British policy against the Russians."
Trieste, one of the five important ports on the Adriatic, was annexed to Italy at the close of the first world war. Currently, Russia favors a plan of giving the city to Yugoslavia, while Britain and the United States favor Italian ownership. James Byrnes, secretary of state, recently singled out the Triest difference as the focal point of the Paris foreign ministers conference disagreements.
"What to do with the seaport is a problem with several possible solutions. As far as general justice is concerned, I say give it to Yugoslavia. Italy has enough ports without Trieste," Professor Gibson stated. "Probably the best bet," he declared, "to make it to a free city."
"Population in the country around Trieste is probably predominately Yugoslavian, but the city of Trieste is probably predominately Italian." Professor Gibson said.
"I don't think the Italians want Trieste so much, but the Italians don't want it to go to Yugoslavia," he replied when asked what the Italian position is.
Professor Gibson countered question with question when he was
"Our position in the Trieste matter is a little strained anyway." We are in the rather difficult position of ardently supporting the claims of an axis enemy over the claims of an allied nation in a matter dealing with reparations.
"America takes the odd view that it is perfectly all right for us to back any other nation on any of its policy. But when Russia even backs up its own national policy then up goes the cry 'Red Russian Communism' from America.
asked for an opinion as to why the Russians backed Yugoslavia's claims.
"Why are we backing the plan for letting Italy keep Trieste?" Professor Gibson asked.
This led Professor Gibson to account for the position as evidence of American support for British policy and against Russian policy, "Which is nothing new," he added. "We've been supporting British policy since shortly after the Revolutionary war."
Buehler On Speaking Trip
Letter to the Editor . . .
Immediately following his return from a successful debate trip to West Point, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, left Tuesday afternoon for northeastern Nebraska to deliver two high school commencement addresses. His first address was delivered Wednesday night at Gering, Neb. Thursday he spoke at Minitaire, Neb. He will return to the University today.
Appreciation Voiced For Support of U.N. Conference
To the Daily Kansan: After reading many letters to the editor in which the staff of the Daily Kansan was bitterly criticized for failure to cooperate with the University's extracurricular activities, and after listening to 30 minutes of even more bitter criticism at the recent student-faculty conference, we feel it only proper to enter a few kind words and register our sincere thanks for the splendid manner in which the staff of the Daily Kansan cooperated with the United Nations Conference.
We found the managing editor and the staff more than willing to print every bit of news that we could possibly dig up, with the result being seven full-column stories, four on page one, and three on the back page, which is considered the number two spot on an eight-page paper. An editorial was printed before the conference, and a full-page spread following the conference.
These figures are quoted in order to lay the cold facts before those who so freely condemn the Kansap
The failure of students to turn out in large numbers can not be laid in any way at the door of the Kansan, but only to the students themselves, for all had heard of it. To those who say that the Kansan publicity failed to accomplish its purpose, in view of the small audience attending the conference, allow us to state that that publicity was perhaps the largest single factor inspiring the interest of the actual participants in the conference; and that that interest was what made the conference a success.
This letter makes no attempt to evaluate Kansan cooperation with similar efforts in preceding semesters; it may have been good or indifferent. We would like to take this opportunity to express our real gratitude to the present staff.

K. U.'s Pied Piper. Stephen Garrette was seen walking down Massachusetts street Saturday afternoon blowing bubbles with a bubble pipe, carrying a big yellow balloon, and followed by a crowd of curious spectators. Stephen defends his actions by saying that it was his last fling before starting to study for finals.
Was her face red! Martha Hutchinson was sitting on the front steps of Hopkins hall with R. H. Wilde, who had just returned from the Pacific, when J. P. Powers came up the steps and greeted Martha with, "Hi Hutch, what did you do with your fliance?" (Some people and their big mouths—who did you think that was with her, J. P.?)
Advertising pays. The advertisement in the Kansan soliciting a date for Bobby Ricks for the navy dance brought overwhelming results. Not only did Bobby get a date but he got dates for three of his buddies. Bobby was still being deluged with calls Wednesday night when Ima Chast phoned him and asked if he would like to take her to the navy dance. Bobby (always a gentleman) told her that he was sorry but he already had a date but wouldn't she like to meet him for a coke at 8. At 8:30 Bobby was seen sitting in the Cottage, quite alone. He can't understand why she stood him up, after all she phoned him first.
Stop that ringing. Bob and Harry Foster didn't get much sleep at home last weekend, because their friends had advertised their apartment for rent. It was two in the morning and the phone was still ringing, so Bob and Harry wrapped the phone in a blanket and put it in the closet. No sooner was this done when the doorbell began ringing. When they opened the door, they found a long line of expectant apartment hunters. What Bob and Harry want to know is—don't people ever go to bed?

20 Years Brings Big Flying Increase
Washington. (UP)—Some 5,782 of our bolder citizens made airline trips in 1926. To handle this traffic there were 400 airfields, listed as "invisible density station of enemy."
Old hands around the civil aeronautics administration were recalling these and other facts today as civil aviation celebrated its 20th anniversary under federal regulation and promotion.
On May 20, 1926, Pres. Calvin Coolidge signed the air commerce act establishing government supervision of the new industry.
This year CAA estimated, 10,500,- 000 customers will travel on the airlines.
Twenty years ago we turned out 658 civil aircraft. CAA says we will produce 50 times that number -32-900—this year. In 1927, we had 1,572 certificated pilots. This year their rolls should reach 345,000.

Most High Schools Are College Preparatory, Shoemaker Writes
"Colleges are much more concerned than formerly with the integration of high school study and experience" W. H. Shoemaker, professor of romance languages, writes in a recent publication of School and society.
A Professor Shoemaker's article, "When Are High School Courses College Preparatory?" was prompted by the statement of two Stanford professors, who he says, urged high schools to offer language work independent of college requirements because they claim high school language study is not really college preparatory.
According to Professor Shoemaker, the Stanford men said statistics show only three pupils out of a beginning foreign language class of 35 continue the same language in college and only one majors in it. They claim this proportion is so small that it can't be called college preparatory, he says.
"It should be pointed out only seven of the 35 go to college" Professor Shoemaker comments. "Three out of seven seems a satisfactory proportion."
"The long interval of time elaping between high school language work and college language work, and the fact that a student's grades were low partially account for studying different languages in college than in high school. Others of the 35 will be more interested in another field and may pass a proficiency language test to discontinue language study altogether," Professor Shoemaker says.
The Stanford men, Professor Shoemaker points out, imply that high school language study is not college preparatory" unless the same language is continued in college. Professor Shoemaker says that this is absurd and offers proof by saying "try to apply this statistical test to American history, physics, football or the bass drum."
The conception of what courses are "college preparatory" held by both colleges and high schools is broader than that applied by the California professors, according to Professor Shoemaker who lists this preparation under three general headings; a linguistic tool, a knowledge of foreign things and expression, and a critical attitude toward all human though and expression.
In the absence of high school preparation, the college has to do the preparatory job; without the colleges the high school course is apt to become another "blind alley"
course. So colleges and high schools find common cause, he says.
"Colleges are not amuglly satisfied with their requirements and they are ready to cooperate with high schools in their common problem—educational growth of maturing young men and women," he concludes.
Former U.S. Communist Boss Meets Molotov in Moscow
Moscow. (UP) — Earl Browder, former American communist leader, said today that he has met with V. M. Molotov, Russian foreign minister, since the Big Four conference in Paris and that he has been received everywhere "as an old and trusted friend of the Soviet Union."
However, Browder in a press conference at the Moskva hotel here said he is "out of politics" and "I am not a member of any political party at this time."

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS
By BILL SIMS
One of the biggest improvements that could be made in the intramural system would be the awarding of trophies for individual sports to the winning team, instead of giving one award to the winner of the point sweepstakes.
The single award for the team compiling the most points in all sports throughout the school year causes too much emphasis to be placed on intramural sports. Several organizations have talked men into competing in intramurals who could have made varsity teams in the same sports so that the team could win points toward the sweepstakes award.
Individual trophies for the different sports would do away with a lot of this, since there wouldn't be as much competition for one big award. It would give more teams a chance to win something in the intramural program, and it would be a much fairer system of reward.
Many teams or organizations participate in only three or four sports, but often they win the title in this sport. Since they don't compete in all of the athletics, they don't have a very good chance to win the sweepstakes. They should get a trophy for winning that sport, instead of some team that they beat getting an award just because it participated in every sport.
If an independent organization won a tournament, the team members should have a choice of a trophy or individual awards.
I believe that this is a necessary stop that must be taken to clear up the intramural system and make it a good natured athletic contest instead of a bitter dog-eat-dog affair.
The major league race for top honors in the home run slugging department should be one of the most interesting in several years. Most of the prewar stars are back, and they are giving evidence that the layoff didn't hurt their batting eyes very much.
eyes Very hard.
With only one-third of the schedule completed, batters are clipping off home runs at a rate which will far surpass the top marks of the past two or three years.
Joe DiMaggio and Charley Keller of the Yankees and Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox are fighting for the lead in the American league with DiMaggio registering nine to top Williams by one.
Vernon Stephens won the home run title last year when he paired 24 for the St. Louis Browns. The winning total this year may double his mark, and it could easily approach and perhaps go over the 50 mark.
In the National league Johnny Mize tops the list with seven, but several others are capable of taking the lead at any time. The National league total for the season probably will not approach that of the junior league, but it should be better than last year's mark.
Although in most human beings, one eye is dominant, and does most of the work of seeing, there is no evidence that the same condition exists in animals.

SAE-ATO Meet In I-M Playoff
It was one of the tightest games of the season, and each team made only one error. Carruth scored its lone tally in the fifth inning, but it looked like it might be the winning run.
Ewers, the first man to face the Carruth hurler, Stout, touched him for the only safety up until the seventh inning. The Sig Alph's combined a walk, an error, and a single to tie up the score one-all in the first of the seventh.
Daugherty, Sig Alph shortstop, singled to open the eighth frame. He stole second, took third on a fielder's choice, and then stole home to give the Sig Alph's a one-run advantage. They put the game on ice in the last half of the eighth inning with tight fielding.
Sauer, Quigley Speak to Gridders
Coach George Sauer and Ernest C. Quigley, director of K.U. athletics, spoke to 35 of next year's potential gridiron stars at a football mixer sponsored by the athletic office in the Kansas room of the Union Thursday.
This was the last meeting of football coaches and players before the beginning of summer practice, July 1. The players were commended by Coach Sauer on the interest they have shown, and the following six men were given special awards for having a perfect attendance at this year's spring practice:
"Red" Hogan, Ray Bray. Bud French, Bill Fischer, Bob Bathis, und Mike Grobus.
Other speakers for the event included Capt. John V. Peterson, director of Navy V-12, at the University, and W. W. Davis, faculty representative of the athletic board.
Ball Teams Travel Despite Strike
New York. —(UP)—A schedule quirk which called for a complete slate of six night games, and the last-minute use of airplanes, buses, and chartered taxi-cabs enabled major league teams to get to new playing sites today despite the nationwide railroad strike.
for one of the few times since the start of night baseball in the majors, all of the six contests scheduled will be tonight instead of this afternoon, giving the clubs several extra hours to reach their destinations.
The extra time was expected to come in particularly handy for the Cincinnati Reds who were making a 400-mile highway jump between Buffalo, N.Y., and their home park in seven pre-war model taxicabs. The Reds left Buffalo at 8 p.m. Thursday and the trip was expected to take at least 10 hours, barring breakdowns, flat tires, and steaming radiators.
The Reds got stranded in Buffalo, en route home from Boston where they faced the prospect of missing tomorrow night's game with the St. Louis Cardinals, but Secretary Gabe Paul arranged for the taxi-cabs when he was unable to get plane or bus accommodations.
The Cardinals fared better. A minimum squad of 22 players, Manager Eddie Dyer and Coach Mike Gonzales, was scheduled to leave New York by TWA Stratoliner at 9 a.m. However, it was a regularly scheduled flight and the team was to go only to Dayton, where a bus has been chartered to complete the jaunt to Cincinnati. The Cards will operate without their star, Marty Marion, who declined to make the trip by air.
The Chicago Cubs were able to get out via Pennsylvania Central from New York for Pittsburgh only when the airline was able to arrange an extra-flight.
Will Stay With Cardinals
New York. (UP)—Three St. Louis Cardinal players—pitchers Max Lanier and Fred Martin and utility infielder Lou Klein—were reported late today to have reconsidered their decision to jump to the Mexican league and will stay with the Red-birds.

'Tragic Gap' In Food Supply, Need To Keep 40 Million People Alive
Chicago. (UP)—A "tragic" gap of 10,000 tons of breadstuff--needed keep 40 million people alive exists between the world's most currently available supply and its needs before fall harvest time, former President Herbert Hoover warned today.
In a report to the nation on his ground-the-world tour as President Truman's food ambassador, Hoover appealed to Americans to save every possible scrap of foodstuffs, to farm-to-bring all grain to market.
"If the present harvest prospects continue favorable, relief will come to the world within a few months," said Hoover. "By September, new supplies should be available, and the immediate crisis will ease."
But lest the distant prospect of relief curtail efforts to feed the hungry now, Hoover warned that he had "seen with my own eyes the trimmest spectre of famine in 'all he history of the world'" in his rip through 25 countries.
If relief were stopped, he empha-
ized, 300,000,000 persons would die
the slow death of starvation.
"If we can succeed in persuading
every man and woman, every na-
tion to do their utmost, we shall
naster, this famine," he said.
Hoover said that by substitutions, reshuffling, sacrifices in America and other surplus areas, the gap between minimum breadstuff needs and maximum supplies had been increased since March from 11,000,-1,000 tons to 3,600,000 tons.
"There are Americans who believe it right, and a duty, to feed women and children even of a surrendered enemy. No one is the enemy of children."
"There are others who believe that the only hope of a peaceful world is to save the enemy peoples from starvation and start build them into peaceful cooperative peoples. There are other ways of caring for the immense useful times the enemy has committed against all mankind, believe in 'an 'e' for an eye', and 'a tooth for a tooth'. To these, let me say that to esp 500,000 American boys in garments among starving women and children is unthinkable.
"It is impossible because, being mericans, they will share their in rations with hungry children; is impossible because of the danto American boys of sweeping ectious diseases, which rise from one."
Robert Frost won the Pulitzer prize three times.
Yoshida Installed As Japanese Premier
Tokyo. (UP) - Premier Shigeru Yoshida and his compromise cabinet were formally installed by Emperor Hirohito today, beginning a troubled administration whose chief duty will be obtaining diet approval of the new Japanese constitution.
The emperor bestowed the premier's robes upon Yoshida in a palace ceremony six days after the 67-year-old political veteran started forming a cabinet.
James Russell Lowell was the first editor of Atlantic Monthly.
Great Bend. (UP) — implement dealers of the state will meet here this evening to discuss a proposal that they lock their doors as a protest against what they termed a "squeeze play" in price controls.
Implement Dealers Fight Price Squeeze
A preliminary meeting was held Tuesday, with 40 implement dealers present, to discuss the situation under which they charged the OPA was forcing dealers to absorb price raises to manufacturers.
The statewide meeting, expected to attract 500 dealers, will be asked to agree that, the OPA rescinds the maximum price regulation covering that situation, that all dealers in Kansas lock their doors.

Rail Strike Hits U.S. Commerce 'Worst Blow In History
Rail Strike Coal Mining Stops, Food Shortage Grows
(By United Press)
The nation was struck today by the full impact of the railroad walkout which disrupted the lives of millions, threatened their food supply, and dealt commerce and industry the severest blow they ever suffered.
As the most crippling strike in the nation's history spread over the 227,000-mile network of rails, these were the major developments:
ONE. Millions were stranded but some roads managed to run a few trains manned by supervisory employees and railroad officials.
TWO. Steel mills banked furnaces almost immediately and the flow of metal was reduced drastically.
THREE. Coal mines began closing again and industry spokesmen said 99 per cent of bituminous production would be halted by nightfall.
FOUR. Government authorities planned to impose a severe brownout on 21 eastern and midwestern states next week if the strike continues.
FIVE. Large cities such as Chicago, New York, and Pittsburgh suffered shortages of fresh foods and meat almost immediately with the prospect of almost none at all within a day or two.
Railroad stations, the scene of mulling throats late Thursday, were deserted today. At Chicago, trains stood in long rows in the silent sheds and yards of the nation's greatest rail center.
The only roads operating were the Illinois Central, which has been under government operation since last summer, and the Bangor & Aroostock, over which trains still chugged their way through 603 miles of Maine potato fields.
At Philadelphia, however, the Pennsylvania announced it would maintain limited service between New York, Washington, Chicago and St. Louis. The Trailblazer to Chicago and the Jeffersonian to St. Louis were scheduled to leave New York late today.
Assistant Postmaster General Gael Gullivan predicted the strike would result in "civil insurrection difficult to quell" if it is not ended within 72 hours.
The effects were felt swiftly Within a few short hours steel mills and other industries began closing down in the east and thousands were thrown out of work. Industry's life-lines had been cut, and more industrial shutdowns were anticipated today.
The shipment of food was reduced to a trickle. Already housewives had begun stocking up, and large cities such as Pittsburgh and Chicago were threatened with almost immediate scarcities of perishable fruits and vegetables.
Hundreds of thousands of travelers and commuters were stranded. In large metropolitan areas, computers dependent on the suburban service of strike-bound roads had a hard time getting to work. Thousands staved home.
Travelers on streamliners and crack trains found themselves immobilized in such isolated whistle stops as the desert town of Carlin, Nev., population 750, where the two sections of the Southern Pacific's Challenger came to a stop.
A spokesman for the association of American railroads said the walk-out had resulted in "almost a 100 per cent shutdown." A few trains were being run by foremen and supervisory employees and in some cases by members of non-striking unions. But these were only a few of the 17,500 passenger trains and 24,000 freight trains run normally each day.
Studebaker Closes
South Bend, Ind. (UP) — The Studebaker corporation announced today that it would close its plant, idling 9,000 workers, if the railroad strike did not end.
Post Office Limits Mail to First Class
Washington. (UP)—The post office department today issued a drastic strike-emergency ban against all mail except first class letters and postal cards.
Even the first class mail must be limited to one pound.
With few exceptions, the embargo bans second, third and fourth class mail. These classes comprise principally publications and parcel post.
The nationwide embargo, first of its kind in the long history of the U.S. mails, will remain in effect until the railroad strike is settled or until a better system can be worked out.
Few Trains Move From Kansas City
Kansas City. (UP)—Several crack passenger trains, manned by supervisory employees, tolled into Kansas City today and continued enroute to distant points with only brief delays.
The Rock Island Rocket left for Minneapolis only two minutes behind its regularly scheduled departure time at 9 a.m.
The Santa Fe's Ranger arrived from Chicago at 7:01 a.m. and yardmen said its departure would be about an hour and a half behind schedule.
That road's eastbound Grand Canyon Limited, enroute to Chicago, arrived at 6:40 on a schedule calling for departure at 8 a.m. It had not left at 9:15, but was expected to get underway within a few minutes.
The Santa Fe Chief, running eastward from the coast, arrived at 5:25 a.m. and departed approximately on schedule at 6:07.
One local train, the Kansas City Southern running to Neosho, Mo.. was ready to depart.
The Rock Island Rocket, southbound, was expected to leave approximately on time.
Kansas City terminal executives said no crack trains had been halted here or in the immediate territory.
Meanwhile, executives of four railroads announced completion of lie-in arrangements with bus lines to accommodate passengers caught in route by the strike.
Greyhound bus lines were to haul Union Pacific passengers while the Santa Fe Trailways took on passengers of the Burlington, Santa Fe, and Missouri Pacific Inves. In each instance, service personnel were to be given preference on crowded buses.
Psychology Club Plans Picnic Monday, Frizeeil Announces
The Psychology club will hold a picnic Monday at Holcomb's grove, Beverly Frizzell, president, announced today.
The pressman was Ed Barnes, army veteran who has been with the Press about a year. Press officials originally promised the second run on Little Man for "not before Monday," but Barnes worked overtime and finished it early this morning.
A University Press pressman who worked half of Thursday night made possible the appearance of the "Little Man on Campus" souvenir cartoon booklet in its second printing on the campus today.
The group will leave from the psychology department office at 4:30 p.m. Cars will be provided for transportation. Those who plan to attend may call at the department office.
LMOC Fools Us, And Arrives Early
Sales of the booklet now have neared 1,000 copies. It is available at the Daily Kansan business office in the Journalism building, and at tables in the lobbies of Frank Strong hall and the Memorial Union.
Leaders Drive To Settle Dispute
Washington. (UP)—The government, its rali system crippled, drove with desperate urgency today for settlement of the coast-to-coast train strike before it brings hunger to cities and wrecks the nation's industrial life.
Presidential Adviser John R. Steelman met anew with rail union and management officials. He held out "hope" that the day-old strike could be ended by nightfall. Few shared his faint optimism.
The two striking unions-engineers and trainmen 250,000 strong—and the railroads still were-wide apart on their demands.
President Truman summoned his cabinet to a morning meeting to analyze the strike.
It struck its first staggering blow at 4 p.m. Thursday and, hour by hour, spread like a withering plague across the land until virtually every train came to a standstill.
Only a few passenger trains kept moving. They were manned by irregular crews of supervisors and other non-union engineers and trainmen.
Within six hours, the strike was reported nearly 100 per cent effective.
Settlement efforts snagged on union demands for rules changes, which were described as the "most important issue." The railroads and 18 other brotherhoods accepted, but the trainmen and engineers rejected Mr. Truman's compromise proposal for a $1.48 a day pay raise but no rule changes.
Hours after the strike began there was no evidence of violence. But army troops stood ready to carry out all necessary orders to safeguard life and property. The Federal Bureau of Investigation watched for any violations of the Smith-Connally anti-strike law or any law prohibiting trespassing on federal property.
The engineers and trainmen are willing to settle for an 18 per cent raise, with a minimum boost of $1.44 a day. But they are holding out for some rules changes which would mean more money to the workers.
There was little prospect that army troops would be called upon, except possibly on a limited basis, to run the trains. Only two army railroad battalions are in the United States.
The Smith-Connally law actually does not prevent a worker from striking, but provides penalties for anyone encouraging or inciting a work stoppage in an industry that has been taken over by the government.

Zorya, the announcement said was shot while cleaning his gun.
These Two Helped Decide Rail Fate
NB
Sidelights of the Strike
Des Moines, (UP)—The regular engineer of the Rock Island's Kansas City Rocket was a passenger aboard the fast passenger train when it left here. When the train pulled in to the station after the strike deadline, the engineer took off his work clothes, put on a business suit and purchased a ticket for his home in Missouri. A railroad supervisor took over the controls for the run to Kansas City.
Albany, N.Y. (UP)—Even homing pigeons were stalled by the railroad strike. A shipment of approximately 300 en route to Lyons, N.Y., were stranded here by the walkout.

Indianapolis, (UP)—Pullman passengers aboard a New York bound train were living in the cars today. "Go ahead and live on the train," railroad officials told them when it stopped for the strike.
Boston (UP)—Travellers stranded in Boston by the railroad strike still could get to New York today—by taxicab. The cab drivers would haul five passengers the 250 miles for $125, or $25 each.

Los Angeles (UP)—A woman approached the information desk at the Pacific Electric depot for "Accurate Information."
"Last Saturday I bought a lot of groceries to tide me over. The strike was called off, and the food spoiled." she told the information clerk. "Now I want to know how much to buy today."
. . .
Washington (UP)—Coal production was checked prematurely by the railroad strike today while John L
Lewis considered government contract proposals.
Government and industry officials expected 90 per cent of the bituminous industry to be idle by nightfall because of the railroad's failure to deliver coal cars. Even before the rail walkout, more than half the United Mine Workers (AFL) had refused to report for their jobs in the government-operated mines.
It was explained that empty coars cars were delivered at night and that many mines would have no cars today. Few mines have storage facilities.
Advocates of strike restrictive foresaw speedy victories as a aftermath to a 14-hour session which lasted until 1:15 a.m. today and so them batter one major triumph through opponents who had stall action for two weeks. The senate an hour early at 11 a.m. too to resume its drive for a labor b

STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Our Campus, From The Air, Shows Beauty and Vision
This unusual air view of the University campus, the first postwar airplane picture taken of Mt. Oread, captures the beauty and depth and vision that mark "The Hill". The picture was taken from a Buehler-Ware Flying Service plane, by Ralph Andrea, Daily Kansan staff photographer. Andrea used Super-pan film, and shot at f11 with an exposure of 1/345th of a second. He was using a Speed Graphic press camera, and had to lean far
out the side of the plane to catch this much territory. The proposed Memorial Drive around the campus, honoring the service of K.U. students in World War II, will start near the Memorial Union, and follow a path behind Frank Strong hall, allowing room for a campanile at the Rock Chalk cairn. Its exact route has not yet been determined, alumni officials have told the Daily Kansan.

No 'Superseniority' For Veterans
Washington. (UP)—The supreme court ruled today that re-employment guarantees of the selective service do not give veterans "superseniority" over non-veterans.

Seniors May Still Pay Diploma Fees
Forgetful seniors who did not pay the $7.50 diploma fee by the deadline Saturday may still pay the fee without an increase in the regular amount, Karl Klooz, bursar, said today.
Records have not been compiled yet to show whether any members of the graduating class did forget to meet this deadline. Mr. Klooz said, however, that undoubtedly some of them neglected to pay the fee. If a senior should completely disregard the diploma iee, he cannot graduate, Mr. Klooz added.
Library May Open On Memorial Dav
"If we have enough student help Thursday, the library will remain open during the Memorial Day holiday," C. M. Baker, director. said today.
Attendance at the library showed a slight increase Sunday over the two previous Sundays. Peak attendance was 146 students at 4 p.m., 11 more than on May 19 and 59 more than May 12.
The library will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the period between semesters and will follow its usual policy of opening at 7:30 am. during the summer session, Mr. Baker said.
The fact that classes will begin earlier next year will have no effect upon the time the library opens, Mr. Baker said. There is a need for help for the summer session, he added.

Dr. W. L. Burdick, former dean of the School of Law, is critically ill in the Lawrence Memorial hospital. Physicians described his condition as "fair" at noon today.
Dr. Burdick came to the University in 1898. He became acting dean of the School of Law after the death of "Uncle Jimmy" Green in 1919, holding the position until 1922. He served as temporary chancellor of the University in 1925, was acting dean of the School of Law in 1934, and was elected dean in 1935. He resigned in 1937, at the age of 77.
There was no evidence that Lewis and Krug were any nearer agreement than they were last week on an interim union-government contract.
Washington. (UP)—In a grim mood, John L. Lewis today continued negotiations with the government while most of his soft coal miners defied President Truman's decree on strikes against the government and refused to work in the federally-controlled mines.
Lewis conferred again with J. A. Krug, coal administrator, as the government tried to solve the new industrial crisis resulting from resumption of the coal strike.
Lewis conferred with Mr. Truman for a half hour last night, at the president's call, but the conference broke up without a word from either side.
Despite the legislative threat hanging over their heads, most of the miners refused to work without a contract, even for the government.
The new shutdown threatened the nation with another industrial crisis before it was fully recovered from last week's railroad strike. Coal production during a two-week work truce provided no permanent relief to an industrial machine crippled by the recent six-week coal strike, which the White House then called a "national disaster."
Railroads probably will be among the first affected by the new stoppage in coal production. Their fuel supplies already were depleted by the earlier coal strike.
WEATHER
Kansas—Fair to partly cloudy today, somewhat warmer east, scattered thundershowers west late afternoon or night and slightly warmer extreme east tonight. Tuesday scattered showers or thunderstorms and not quite so warm central or west. Low tonight near 60.

American people have a reputation for their ingenuity and resourcefulness. They're so resourceful that they make laws to protect themselves and then rush out seeking the quickest means of beating the law.
The O.P.A. and John Doe
The department store clerk whispers to you that he can get you a couple pairs of nylons. Naturally they will be a little high, but you do want them, so what's the difference? After all, you reason, I wrote to Washington and asked them to continue O.P.A. Why don't they crack down on these people who break the rules?
The latest fad is to write your congressman pleading for extension of O.P.A. and then turn around and take part in a racket to beat the price ceiling.
You want a late model automobile on a trade-in basis. The dealer asks you, in fact, implores you, to buy his model and at the proper ceiling price. He hands you a few dollars for your pre-war bus, gives it a paint job, and sells it for the $400 ceiling. Of course, the new buyer will be lucky if it gets him from the garage to his home.
Raise cain with your butcher; he'll get your meat. Not at the ceiling price, but what does that matter as long as we have the O.P.A. to guard against inflation? And, anyway, your purchases are small; they don't amount to much.
Too many Americans, it seems, have the diseased conception that all that is needed to meet an economic crisis is to produce the proper legislation to correct the condition.
It doesn't seem to occur to people that the black market lives off patronage and that the only way to fight it is to refuse to give that patronage. It would take a modern army to track down the black marketeers in one industry alone.
They fail to realize that each and every person is a cog in the nation's economy and that we will have economic stability only when enough people recognize that their actions count, and decide to temper their narrow self-interest with some consideration for the welfare of the rest of society. —C.H.
Individual initiative and private enterprise are being smothered all over. The other day a New Jersey man was fined $50 for making his own car license plates.
"Is the average farmer an optimist or a pessimist?" asks a Kentucky editor. He's both. He's an optimist in the spring and a pessimist in the fall.
Whenever you are tempted to scorn women's fashions of the day, just go up to the attic and look at some of the illustrated magazines of 20 years ago.
The Fancy Lightly Turns
Long a rival but never a conqueror of a typical Kansas spring, study habits are once again slowly losing ground. Nature is showing her superiority. Studying from books should be done when the nights are long, the weather cold, and the distractions few.
Spring is the season when everything comes to life. Birds start winging northward, rabbits hop lively through the fields, and college students lose their inhibitions.
What chance does a tricky assignment in calculus have against a walk in Marvin Grove? That is, if the walk involves a boy and girl strolling hand in hand. Even a leisurely saunter along campus drive in the farflung shade holds more enchantment than a stuffy classroom or library.
And what Jayhawker has ever left K.U. without peering from the causeway into the shallow mysteries of Potter lake on a mellow afternoon? Or has failed to find complete relaxation of resting on the grassy slope north of Frank Strong? There the cares of this world drift high into the sky and the future looms Kaw-ward, appealing and satisfying.
Many an attractive spot on the campus creates a sympathetic response when old Mr. Sun sends forth his strongest power. Hell's Half Acre and the hospital love seat provide a radiant view of the Wakarusa valley. Strolling down the slopes and across the fields brings spring to many a heart-thumping couple.
As each little cloud stops to have a word or two, a purifying spirit cleanses the soul. Life no longer has an ugly aspect but is truly beautiful. Once more a higher power has permeated the inner person and presented the real values of living.
Study habits aren't stopped by spring, the classroom is merely changed-C.E.
Is the old crack about "if we had some ham, we could have some ham and eggs, if we had some eggs" going to apply now to bread and butter?
Safety sloan observed on the back end of a truck: Strive To Be A Wreckless Driver!
Requiem
I heard the rustle of the elm leaves that May day
And I saw the wind touch the proud old cedars.
The sun was warm and clean and soft,
Across the fields where a meadowlark was singing,
And I read upon the stones names worn down
By the sun and wind and rain and snow—
My grandmother and grandfather, my aunt and great-uncle.
Names? no not names, but living people
Whom my mother's voice had gently touched
And had made real to me.
And suddenly, we were very close;
I and they, the living and the dead.
I knew then for the first time
What a very small barrier there is between life and death.
And I felt the glorious rapture of immortality
That is mine and theirs.

Nose for news. Prof. W. W. Davis told his American People class the other day that "The American newspaperman is the darnedest rustler imaginable. In time we'll even know the make of Stalin's underwear."
Brother! When Stan McCampbell and Jim Neuner were passing through Toledo recently they passed a sign saying "Home of Toledo Scales." Jim came up with the brilliant question, "Is that a fish market?"
You can't take it with you. When three Chi O's, Mary Daugherty, Pat Barron and Shirley Husted, went to Pittsburgh for a week-end, they happened to take along an extra suitcase. The suitcase belonged to Barbara Moffett and contained her notes to be studied for finals. Pledge court hasn't been very easy on the girls. They have to carry suitcases around packed with bricks.
Mother nature. Recently the Ph.

evening at Lake Linge. At least it
was peaceful until Bob Halliballup put a small frog in George Waugh's drink. George took a drink and half swallowed the creature. He got the frog out of his mouth and tossed it into the bowl of ice where it was still hopping around when the boys left.
Well really. In the mad scramble for a Daily Kansan in center Ad one p.m., Virginia Wickert, Corbinite, got stuck. She succeeded in grabbing a paper and turning around, but it was no go from there on—her sweater was caught and was slowly unravelling right out in front of Chancellor Malott and everybody. When most of the papers were gone and people were leaving, she found part of her sweater hooked up on the shirt button of a very apologetic classmate.
Meat is meat nowadays. With meat getting scarcer, some people don't know when they are well off. Eddie Sheldon, Sigma Chi, asked what they were having for dinner the other evening. He was told they were having pork. "Where'd we get it? I don't want to eat any cheap pork."

MARTHA JEWETT, Society Editor
Including today, there are just seven more school days left until finals begin. With Memorial day as
Vacation, there will be a sight lull in this week, as every student begins to get that "why didn't I start studying the first week of school" ceiling. One happy thought could be that you can begin with such an idea next fall, and see how long you can keep it up.
For those who don't really need to study or can keep a clear conscience, the University band will present its spring concert tonight in Hoch auditorium.

A Killer?
NFB
Ralph B. Baumann, 21, was in a coma for six weeks before May 3. he told Los Angeles police, and now he thinks he may be the "phantom killer" responsible for the slaying of five Texarkana residents. The Texarkana area has been fearing the return of the killer, and now Baumann wants to go back there and see whether he had any connection with the slayings. (NEA Telephoto)

Lido, On Shores Of Sea Of Galilee Offends Sensibilities Of Christians
By JAMES GRIEVES (United Press Staff Correspondent)
Tiberias Palestine. (UP)—Along with weightier issues the Anglo-American inquiry commission on Palestine found itself concerned with the Club Lido, complete with swing band, on the south shore of the Sea of Galilee.
The commission's hitherto unnoticed Recommendation No. 7 said the Lido, "with its dancing and swing music on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, offends the sensibilities of many Christian people."
The controversial report on the commission's findings has prompted investigation along various lines. One likewise seemed in order to determine what caused its slightly alarmed observation on the club Lido.
Here today is this correspondent's own report on that that investigation conducted unofficially and single-handedly:
I took the road from Capernaum, where Jesus taught after leaving Nazareth, and entered Tiberias through a shady eucalyptus grove surrounding the old round towers of medieval forts.
To my left a signboard invited all to the worldly premises of the "Galilee Lido."
It was a small cafe, somewhat fashionable in a shabby way, with
a broad terrace overlooking the lake and the Syrian mountains on the eastern shore. Alongside was a row of bathhouse cabins leading to the breakwater harbor for pleasure boats.
The cafe was jammed with holiday celebrants from Tel Aviv and Haifa. They were dressed mostly in poor copies of Hollywood play suits and bare-midriff bathing suits. The wives of successful merchants were in sport dresses and platform shoes.
There were tourists in shorts, and reclining convalescents who had spent the morning in the hot springs nearby. There was a sprinkling of red-tarbushed Effendis. The crews of police and customs boats, in their immaculate whites, seemed to be permanent patrons.
The manager said the owner was a German subject who had been in an internment camp for the last five years.
He was a descendant of the German Templars who migrated to Palestine about 80 years ago to found a community along the strict lines of the early Christians. Some years before the first world war he had found it consistent with the community creed to open the first dancing club on the shores of Galilee since the days of the wicked Herod Antipas, who founded Tiberias.
After the late war began, the custodian of enemy property took over. The present manager abides by instructions from that office, which invited him to renew his lease a few days before the inquiry commission's report was issued.

"I am a good Christian myself," he defended himself, "and I vouch for the fact that not the slightest indeceency has taken place on the premises.
"It is up to the Palestine government, however, to give the order that my swing music should be replaced by a chamber quartet playing Beethoven and Debussy."
All right, Palestine government,

One of the finest men in baseball retired from active playing participation, when Ted Lyons terminated his 21-year mound career Saturday when he took over as manager of the Chicago White Sox. He replaced Jimmy Dykes after Dykes had been ousted because the White Sox had been in a tailspin.
Lyons went straight to the White Sox when he left the Baylor university campus where he had starred on the mound. He joined the White Sox in 1923 and pitched for them until he enlisted in the marines in 1942 and he took up where he left off when he received his discharge this year.
Although he lost four_and won only one this season, he could have won them all with a few breaks. The amazing part of it is that he went the distance in all five games. He also had pitched 23 consecutive complete games before joining the service, and that gives him a total of 28 complete games in a row. Very few pitchers have accomplished this feat.
Lyons is the logical choice for the manager's job for the White Sox. He is one of the most popular players ever to wear a Chicago uniform, and is a shredman Lymons. Lyons is popular both with the fans and his teammates, and that means a lot in professional baseball. He will have a difficult job ahead of him, but my guess is that he'll come through successfully.
Angelo Bertelli, former Notre Dame. All-American passer, has caused a lot of comment with the report circulating that he signed a contract recently to play with Boston in the National football league next fall.
Slip Madigan, coach of the Los Angeles entry in the new All-America professional league, claims that Bertelli had signed a contract to play with Los Angeles next fall. Madigan has filed court action to get an injunction to prevent the ex-Notre Dame star from playing with any other team.
It is easily understandable why these teams are after Bertelli. He is one of the greatest passers in gridiron history, and he also is a fine quarterback and works in the T-formation system with perfection.
Bertelli could mean the difference between victory and defeat on a medicore team. He is a natural athlete and sparks any team he

Phi Delt, Ship's Company, Phi Gam PT-7 To Men's Softball Semi-Finals
They took him to a hospital where he told the doctor that his legs had been taken and developed the doctor told him it was no laughing matter.
Phi Delta Theta meets Ship's Company and PT-7 tangles with Phi Gamma Delta in the semi - final games of the intramural softball playoffs today.
With a single healthy practice swing the man had broken both legs in two places. He still thinks it's funny, but he'll be doing all of his laughing from a hospital bed for the next two months.
First round games were played Friday and Saturday because of the holiday Thursday and the chance that rain might force postponement
From down Texas way comes the story of a very odd accident on the golf links. It seems the golfer was on the first tee waiting for the fairway to clear, and he decided to take a few practice swings.
WHY WE SAY
plays on. It will be interesting to follow developments of the case.
He limbered up with a couple of short swings and then really stepped into one. Other members of his party laughed when he fell down, but when he told them he couldn't get up, they began to worry.
You golfers had better watch out on the links. You might not know your own strength.

BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL
POOL
30'

In rotation pool, the balls must be taken in order except the 8, which is pocketed last; if the 8 is between you and ball you want to pocket you are out of luck and so "behind the 8 ball."
The Phi Delt's collected 16 hits off Kaufman, Sig Algh pitcher, and combined these with several costly Sig Algh errors to rack up 14 runs, seven of which were scored in the first inning.
Phi Delta Theta defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon 14 to 5. PT-7 shutout the Beta's 6 to 0. Ship's Company beat the Kappa Sigma 8 to 0. and Phi Gamma Delta repeated an earlier victory over teh Sigma Chi's 2 to 0.

Ray Evans hurled no-hit, no-run balls for four innings and struck out eight Sig Alph batters. Charles Ball took over the pitching chores in the fifth and held the Sig Alph's to five hits.
PT-7 scored three runs in the first, added another in the fourth, and tallied the final two in the fifth inning. Harmon, navy first baseman, was the big gun in the navy attack with three hits which drove in three runs.
Ship's Company shutout the Kappa Sig's 8 to 10. Troyer let the Kappa Sig's down with six hits, and Ship's Company collected 11 safeties off Heisler. The navy tallied four runs in the third inning and four in the sixth to advance to the semi-finals

POWER-FLOW EMBULLES
The old cry of "Get a Horse" is revived in this picture, which shows the scene of an automobile dealer's display window. Out of cars to sell, the dealer put in a replica of one of the old-time horse-and-
buggy means of transportation, which did a good job of filling up space. The picture was taken in Nevada, Mo. (NEA) Telephoto)
If You Go To Rome, Don't Ride In Fearless Francesco's Jeep
B FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
He blows his horn at 'em.
Rome. (UP)—No New York taxi ever will scare me again. I've been seeing the sights with Fearless Francesco, the driver of the office jeep, who believes in giving pedestrians a sporting chance.
The idea was to look over a hunk of ancient Roman aqueduct, take a squint at a 14-story marble birthday cake with gold trimmings erected in honor of the father of the little king who doesn't live here any more, and maybe stamp my feet on Mussolini's private balcony,
I figured without Francesco. He tramped on the gas and we roared down the Corso Umberto, scattering his fellow Romans like bantam chickens. Francesco bared his white teeth in a smile, indicating he was at peace with the world. He was amazed when I insisted that he halt instead of plowing through a crowd of perhaps 200 citizens in the middle of the street.
There was no way of telling whether they were royalists or Socialists or folks just passing the time of day. They turned out to be none of these. They were Romans shooting craps on the main drag and using a wall built in the fifth century for a backstop.
Only I was surrounded by at least 50 black marketeers now, mostly in their teens, trying to sell me cigarettes Americanos for $1.35 a pack. Francesco was biting his fingernails. His job was to show me monuments, not his prospective victims.
Francesco said he didn't believe I should join the game. He said he believed it was crooked.
It broke his heart when I insisted he wait while I investigated a black market shop established on the sidewalk. Such a stock I never expect to see again. It included two telephones yanked out of the Italian phone system, typewriters, binoculars, brassieres, rayon stockings,inned fish, checked socks and one item the proprietor did his dead level best to sell me.
A few steps further down the street was another smaller crowd. I never saw the like. Here was a agent operating a portable roulette wheel. Francesco said it was crooked too. He wanted to be on his way.
If I'd only been in the market for a fine Malacca cane with a sword inside, it would have been a barbain at $4.
Francesco said he thought I ought to get it. He said it would be hard in case of banditti. He also said how about us getting on with our sightseeing?
I held on tight while he careened over holes in the pavement, and we got to the Forum Romano where there were the remains of buildings
erected BC. There also were some guys making speeches at each other. They seemed sore. Just politicos. Francesco said. Pay 'em no attention. I took his advice and this was a mistake. Later on the police arrested the whole shebang and I wasn't there to see em. I was looking at monuments.
The one honoring the abdicated king's father is magnificent. Francesco said so. I still claim it looked like a wedding cake with a troop of golden horses on top.
The place at Venezuela Palace where Musso used to howl down from his balcony to mobs was a grave disappointment to me. It's not nearly so big as the newsreels indicated. It's in use now as an Allied army car park.
I got to talking to a guard, who said he certainly wished he were back in Chicago. "Where it's not so dusty" he said. As for the balcony of the Musso, I must report it is an undersized job, barely big enough for two people if they hold their breaths. Furthermore it was locked.
I'd have liked to have flexed my muscles on it, but they'd gone limp, anyhow, riding with Fearless Francesco.

Senate Groups Oppose Truman Labor Requests
Washington. (UP)—President Truman's request for authority to draft workers who strike against the government touched off an historic battle today, with organized labor and some conservative senators joining in a rapidly-developing fight against it.
Alben W. Barkley, senate Democratic leader, reported after a White House conference that settlement of the rail strike and hopes for settlement of the soft coal dispute do not eliminate President Truman's desire for the sweeping powers he requested in a special message to congress.
Administration leaders believe they can beat down senate opposition to the emergency bill by midweek, particularly if the coal strike continues.
In extraordinary sessions Saturday night, the house quickly passed the bill giving Mr. Truman the emergency powers he requested, and the senate passed its own version of the house-approved Case bill for strike control.
"The time has not arrived when we can safely proclaim that either hostilities, the emergency, or the war have, in fact, ended." Snyder said.
In the house today. Republicans and southern Democrats planned to ask quick approval of the senate version of the Case bill.
The house-approved bill, in line with Mr. Truman's request, was drafted as purely an emergency measure and applicable only in cases where the government has seized an essential industry whose operation is vital to the national economy.
Under the bill as passed by the house and sent to the senate:
ONE. The president could set a deadline for resuming operations in any seized property and establish wages and working conditions for the period of vowement operation.
TWO. Company officials and union leaders would be obliged to resume operations or be subject to a maximum penalty of $5,000 fine and one year imprisonment.
THREE. Individuals who failed to return to work or engaged in a concerted staple would be liable to lose all salary and would lose all seniority rights.
FIVE. Net profits during government operation, after paying necessary expenses and "just compensation," would go to the government.
FOUR. The government could appeal to district federal courts for injunctive relief to enforce the criminal penalty provisions.
SIX. The authority would expire June 30, 1947, unless removed earlier by formal cessation of hostilities, presidential proclamation, or concurrent resolution of congress.

Scientist Tells of New Atomic Poison Gas
Washington. (UP)—An atomic scientist warned Monday night that use of biological warfare and a newly-developed atomic poison gas could kill millions of people in a future war.
W. A. Higinbotham, chairman of the Federation of Atomic Scientists, told the national committee on atomic information that "through use of controlled disease, aerial attack or sabotage could set forces at work which would kill men, women, and infants in their homes. Radioactive materials, he added, could be used to trap people in bomb shelters and caves.
Whitney Opens Campaign Against Truman's 'Insincerity
Cleveland. (UP)—A. F. Whitney, head of the railroad trainmen, today opened his campaign against President Truman, charging the president with misrepresentation and broken promises, and threatening to "spill over the country" proof of Mr. Truman's "insincerity."
Whitney also charged that the strike was called off half an hour before the president went on the air with his speech to congress, which he interrupted to announce the settlement. The White House said today that President Truman did not know, before he began speaking to congress that the rail strike had been settled.

VFW Charges Employys
With Misusing GI Bill
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—Joseph M. Stack, commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, today charged that many employers were making a racket of the on-the-job provisions of the GI bill of rights.

Coal Strike May End As Officials Work Out Details
(By United Press)
Settlement of the soft coal strike was reported near today, but threat of a nationwide shipping tie-up June 15 increased.
An informed Washington source said that barring an unforeseen breakdown in the negotiations, UMW President John L. Lewis appeared certain to win a more liberal welfare fund than he was offered originally by the mine operators.
Some Washington sources believed a contract might be signed before nightfall for the period of government operation of the nation's soft coal mines. "Some progress" was reported after a $6\frac{1}{2}$-hour conference yesterday, and union attorneys were meeting with government representatives to "work out details."
The nation's economy, still shaken by last week's railroad strike., was threatened again as Lewis' 400,000 soft coal miners struck for the second day in defiance of a government plea to help the nation in "a time of crisis."
The solid fuels administration estimated coal production yesterday totalled less than 10 per cent of normal daily output. SFA reported that only 20,000 miners worked, most of them non-union workers or members of the independent progressive mine workers.
Renewal of the stoppage yesterday after a two-week truce brought immediate possibility of drastic freight embargoes and further passenger curtailment on fuel-short railroads.
Brownout orders were prepared for wide areas as power plants ate into ebbing coal stockpiles. Steel mills prepared to slash already low production schedules.
The department of speech and drama will hold its annual dinner at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the English room of the Union, Prof. Allen Crafton has announced.
Awards will be presented by the department heads to outstanding students in forensics and drama during the past year.
Speech Department Dinner Tomorrow
Special awards will be given for the best single acting performance, the most helpful single contribution to the play, and the best oratory and debate. A membership in Delta Sigma Rho, debate society, will be awarded for the best record in speaking.
Final Love, Marriage Lecture at 4:30 Today
The last of a series of three lectures on love and marriage, sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A., will be given at 4:30 p.m. today in the Kansas room of the Union. The Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes of the Plymouth Congregational church will speak on "The Moral Aspects of Marriage."
Questionnaires will be passed out to determine the student reaction toward these lectures and to aid in setting up a similar program for next year.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy, scattered showers and thunderstorms central and west today and most of state tonight and Wednesday. Slightly warmer extreme east, cooler extreme west today. Slightly cooler west tonight. Low tonight middle 50's, cooler Wednesday. Windy today and Wednesday.

Strikes And The Public
When President Truman addressed Congress at Saturday's historic session, he spoke straight from the shoulder. He was forced by the course of events to say things which no conscientious president would choose to say, under normal circumstances. But in this case there was no alternative.
His strong words brought sharp and unwarranted replies from officials of the two unions involved. P. O. Peterson, general chairman of the engineers' union said, "Our position still is that the president has just betrayed American labor and the American public as well."
A. F. Whitney, president of the trainmen's union, said in a speech, "Let us return to the job . . . and undertake to restore confidence on the part of the public and let us pray that the men on the hill (Congress), who would crucify labor at this time by the enactment of more vicious legislation, cool off and refrain from acting while they are mad."
The terms which the two unions finally accepted were in line with the wage increase policy which had been recommended by the government throughout industry: a pay raise of 16 cents per hour, retroactive to January 1, and an additional two and one-half cents per hour effective May 22, when the strike began, and no change in working rules for one year.
President Truman clearly singled-out Whitney and Johnson, leaders of the two striking unions, as being primarily responsible for the tie-up. These two men led a handful of workers in a strike that not only jeopardized the entire nation but also cast its shadow to other lands. Such an action was not only a matter of concern between the two groups involved. It was a matter affecting every citizen in the country.
The emergency measure proposed by President Truman will be criticized by many as contrary to the spirit of American life. But the effects brought about by strikes in vital industries, such as the railroad strike, are likewise contrary to our American life.
It should be kept in mind that the extensive powers requested by the President are for use only where the public welfare is directly threatened. To strike against an industry is one thing. To strike against the people and the government is quite another.
It is an inescapable fact that the nation's economy has become so interrelated that no industrial or labor leader has the right to take work-stoppage action without consideration of the public welfare.
It would be well for all such leaders to remember the following words of the pledge of allegiance to the American flag: "One nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all." Strikes that divide and cripple the nation cannot be tolerated.
All conscientious Americans hope the long-term legislation asked by the president will establish a plan of labor-management relations that will rid us of costly strikes and help the nation achieve greater prosperity. Such a program is long overdue.
No. Anything But That!
A new pinnacle of technological progress will be reached soon, with the announcement of the combining of two of our most vital present-day utilities—the telephone and the automobile. Successful experiments have been conducted in an auto, equipped with special two-way telephone, passing through New York traffic, all the while maintaining constant touch with a transmitter miles away. Only lack of material and manpower is keeping these auto-telephones off the market.
A golden era dawns. Businessmen can contact their offices from the highway Taxi, bus, and truck drivers can communicate with their headquarters while en route to their destinations. A new order of driving courtesy may arise. The pandemonium of bleating horns usually resulting from a traffic jam will be replaced by a friendly phone call to the errant driver, "Excuse me, sir, but the light has changed to green," or "Madam, you're blocking traffic, please move on." Perhaps Junior will summon his date by phone instead of disintegrating the neighborhood tranquility by Wagnerian blasts on the horn (although we're skeptical of this last possibility).
However, like many inventions designed to benefit man, this auto-telephone may be perverted to evil ends. We can be sure that it will encroach on one of the remaining hide-outs of the hen-pecked husband, as his wife, sitting at home, can be a remote control back-seat driver. Peer into the future with us, and visualize an auto-phone conversation:
Wife: "John?" Husband: "Yes, dear?"" Wife: "How fast are you going?" Husband: "Only 25." Wife: "Oh, no. Your son Archie picked up your car on his radar set, and he clocked you at 40. You better slow down." Husband: "Yes, dear." Wife: (suspiciously) "John, who is that in the car with you?" Husband: "Nobody, I'm listening to the radio." Wife: (sarcastically) "What program, John's Other Wife?" Husband resignedly turns off the radio. Wife: "John." Husband: "Hmm?" Wife: "We're going out to dinner tonight. You'd better get a haircut. And, John, this time try not to look so seedy. Every time we go out you forget to shave, and another thing——"
A maniacal glint appears in John's eyes. He jams the accelerator to the floorboards, swerves suddenly from the road, and plows into a tree, with a sickening impact.
As the scene closes, we hear, from the midst of the wreckage, the petulant voice of the wife over the auto-phone receiver, "I swear I don't know what's come over that man." -W.F.

All's well that ends well. The TKE's filed into the ADPI house Saturday noon bearing gifts of sandwiches and loving cups, and proceeded to picnic in the living room. When a call was received from the TKE house that several ADPI's were there making a raid, the guests promptly left to catch the culprits, putting the furniture on the front lawn as they went. But they finally replaced the furniture and everyone made up with a snappy game of softball.
Question of the week. What will Keith Wilson do with the stack of literature the WCTU sent to the Jayhawker office?
What a joker! Lois Repstein, jester of the May Festival at Corbin last week, sat on Chancellor Malott's lap and was fed potato salad and large bites of spring onion, until she realized onions didn't agree with her. Later, during a game of London, Bridge, Mr. Feist and Professor Coleman caught her on "my fair lady" and received sound kisses. She spent the rest of the game trying to get caught again, but they were too wise. She had already had her two scents worth.
Cool, cool water. Harvey Scott was trying to fix the sprinkler on the hose when Ray Binnicker turned on the faucet. Funny, but that shower didn't seem to cool Harvey off a bit.
Air-minded. Judging from the way Bob Williams "flew" back from Topeka in 30 minutes Saturday, he better get some wings for his car or he may be getting some of his own with the accident rate climbing as it is.
Watch out for that man. The abnormal psychology class went to the Topeka State hospital Saturday. When one of the inmates, under halucinations of persecution, was asked to pick out a suspicious character in the group, he looked around and finally chose John Peterson.
At least Bob knew where he was going. Al Welch and Jack Peeler got lost on their way to K.C. the other night and went back and forth between Oskalaoosa and Leavenworth, not once, but twice! Need a compass, fells?
20 See French Film, 'Carnival In Flanders'
About 20 persons attended the special showing of the French film, "Carnival in Flanders." Thursday night in the Little Theater in Green hall. The showing was sponsored by the department of Romance languages.
Prof. Arvid Jacobson, of the design department, spoke Thursday night at the Sunflower club meeting. The subject of his speech was "Interior Decorating."
"Carnival in Flanders," which won the Grand Prix for the best French film of 1936, tells the story of an episode in a small town in Flanders during the reign of Philip II of Spain. The dialogue is in French, with frequent use of English sub-titles.

Socially Speaking
MARTHA JEWETT, Society Editor
With practically every organized house giving a spring formal lately, the social whirl on the campus has really kept spinning.

How to Stay Out of the Hospital
.
By R. I. CANUTESON M.D.
(Director, University Health Service)
Chronic alcoholism is a rarity in the college age group, but the makings-emotional instability and the idea that cares should be drowned are no less common than in other groups. And so this data may not be amiss.
Recently groups studying chronic alcoholism reported that almost one-third of the population of the United States uses alcoholic beverages. Three million become excessive drinkers, and 750 thousand become chronic alcohol addicts, burdens to themselves and to society. These are not all men. There is an increasing amount of alcohol addiction among women.
In terms of cash outlay alone, the cost of maintaining drunken persons in jail is about 25 million dollars. Care of alcoholic addicts in mental hospitals adds another 13 million dollars. No estimate is made of the cost in loss of usefulness of the victims or in terms of disorganized families.
The alcoholic addict is considered to be a medical problem. In the search for the basis of alcohol addiction, various groups are working, but with limited resources. Appropriations and contributions to official and voluntary agencies for work on tuberculosis amount to about 150 million dollars a year, for infantile paralysis about 18 million and for alcoholism 500 thousand. Annually seven billion dollars is spent for alcoholic beverages, more
Habitual excessive drinking costs another 175 million dollars a year in crime—crime committed by persons under the influence of alcohol, under the urgent necessity of procuring alcohol or in the process of profiting by its illegal sale. Along with crime attributed to alcoholism is the increasing venereal disease rate—now of almost epidemic porportions.
250 Attend Navy Farewell Dance
Frankie Masters and his band played for the navy farewell dance held in the Military Science building Friday night. About 250 Navy men and their guests attended.
During internmission, Comdr. R. J. Baum of the University Navy R.O.T.C. gave a short farewell speech, Norma Kennedy, Fine Arts junior, gave a vocal and piano solo, and the Navy octette, Clarence Erickson, Dexter Welton, Edward Roper, Bernard Domann, Robert Koenig, Robert, Weintraut, Charles Banfield and Robert Westmacott, sang the navy farewell hymn.
than twice the amount that goes to our public school systems.
Education seems to be the solution for the control of excessive drinking; no solution is yet offered how to pick out the potential victims of alcohol addiction.
The majority of the 28 million dollars spent in a recent year by the liquor industry for advertising through various channels stressed the social advantages of alcohol consumption. Little emphasis was placed on the 750 thousand alcohol addicts or the 13,500 cases of alcoholic psychosis now in mental hospitals.
The peron who finds solace only in drinking or who cannot have a good time unless he is relaxed with alcohol, doesn't need alcohol; he needs a phytchirist. It might be well to recall what the pharmacologist says about alcohol: Internally it is a narcotic widely used as a stimulant but it may do more harm than good.
Turkish tobacco recently has been grown in the United States.
An Explanation
Several students have asked why the Daily Kenson published the souvenir booklet, "Little Man on Campus."
The answer is simple: Dick Bibler's LMQC is so unusual and so distinctive a mirror of the lighter side of K.U. Life that the Daily Kanson thought students would appreciate a more permanent record of his cartoons than the newspaper provided.
Students also have caked "Who makes all the money on this booklet?"
Again the answer is simple:
You do. You, the student-body,
will benefit from every cent of
the small profits on the Little
Man. No individual received
anything—either pay or commission—from the sale of the booklet.
Even the salesman worked as a service, not for pay.
What profits there are go directly back into the Daily Kansas, to make it the better student newspaper it continues to be.

Surrealists Portray Their Own Muddled Minds, Mattern Says
Surrealist paintings show just how disorganized people's minds are, according to Karl Matterm, associate professor of art.
"Dali is an admitted paranoid and the rest are men over 60 trying to go back to childish imagery."
These statements referred to the latest art exhibit in Spooner-Thayer museum with the title, "Mystery in Pain," consisting of fifteen paintings by artists of the surrealist school.
Mr. Mattern says that all surrealist paintings stem from a Dutch painter, Hyronimus Bosch, who painted "Heaven, Hell, and all the little devils".
"Don't try to find the meaning of the picture in the title. They give you a hint, but when you try to find it in the picture it isn't there," Mr. Mattern said.
An example of the kind of picture in the exhibit is Dali's "Imperial Violets." A telephone is the main object, with a few dead fish at the side.
inns type of painting is practically dead. The average man won't stand for being shocked for no reason," according to Mr. Matterm.
Campus Gets Ready For Commencement
In preparation for commencement exercises, the front lobby of Hoch auditorium, the basement of Fraser hall, and the hallways of Lindley will be painted, C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said today.
Mr. Bayles has requested that students make use of the 38 cigarette containers that have been put at various places on the grounds.

The professor traced the course and progress of the highway on a projected map, and gave the reasons for the failure of the army engineers to successfully complete the pipe-line project. Among the reasons given were general inefficiency and lock of experience of the engineers in charge of the project.
The speech was illustrated by approximately 100 colored photographs projected on a screen. Many of them were scenic shots taken in the MacKenzie and Franklin mountains.

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
Bv BILL SIMS
The Mexican league continues to grab the spotlight from time to time with its raids on major league clubs, although several injunctions have been granted restraining the Mexican league from pilfering players from the Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants.
The St. Louis Cardinals are the latest victims, Jorge Pasquel and his associates came out of the Cardinal camp with a .500 average when they signed Max Lanier, Fred Martin and Lou Klein. The St. Louis outfield, Stan Musial, Terry Moore, and Enos Slaughter, refused to sign contracts with the Mexican league.
The signing of Lanier might mean the pennant for the Cardinals, because he was their leading hurler with six victories against no defeats. Martin, a rookie, also was counted upon to help the St. Louis cause in the title fight. Klein had been relegated to the utility infielder role, although he formerly played second base regularly for the Cards.
The loss of the three outfielders would have put the finishing touches on the St. Louis chance to win the pennant. Musial is the club's leading hitter, and the three are recognized as the best outfield in the National league.
Many observers believe the Cardinal wage scale had a lot to do with the jumping to the Mexican league because it has been an acknowledged fact that Card salaries have always been low.
Over in the American league the spotlight is focusing on Dave Ferriss of the Boston Red Sox. Ferriss is the pitcher who gained acclaim last year by winning eight consecutive games as a rookie at the start of the season.
Sensational rookie pitchers in the majors, with few exceptions, have had poor records the following season. Ferriss threatens to be one of those exceptions. He has won seven games without a defeat this season, and he may match his mark of last year.
Ferriss leads the hurlers of both leagues with his perfect record, and teammate Mickey Harris is close be-hind with seven victories and one
PT-7's Burch, Phi Delt's Evans Pit Skill in Softball Title Game
Loren Burch and Ray Evans tangle in what should be a hot pitching duel when PT-7 and Phi Delta Theta fight it out for the intramural softball championship which will probably be played Friday.
PT-7 advanced to the finals by defeating Phi Gamma Delta, 1 to 0, Monday. Burch and Hartigan, Phi Gamur hurler, hooked up in a pitcher's battle, and the game was the closest played this season.
Burch held the Phi Gam's to one hit. Jim Richey, Phi Gam left fielder, beat out an infield hit in the first of the sixth inning to spoil a perfect game.
Hartigan, pitching his best game of the season, let the navy team down with two hits. Pumphrey singled in the first inning, and Cohen beat out an infield hit in the last of the sixth inning.
Leroy Harmon scored the winning run for PT-7 in the last of the fifth inning. He got on base on Hartigan's error, stole second and scored when Van Ert, Phi Gam catcher, threw the ball into center field trying to make the putout at second. This was the break that decided the game as the navy team fielded lightly behind Burch's stellar hurling.
The Phi Delt's outscored Ship's Co. 6 to 1, to earn the second berth in the finals. Jacob, Ship's Co. hurler, allowed the Phi Delt's only four hits, but they took advantage of several errors to win.
Ray Evans held the Ship's Co. batters to five safeties, and he kept them well scattered. Each pitcher walked three men. Evans struck out six to Jacob's two.
Ship's Co. prevented the Phi Delt's from scoring in the first inning by pulling a nifty double play, but the Phi Delt's came back in the second to pile up four runs. Lear tripled to center field with two
defeat. If these two can maintain this sizzling pace and Tex Hughson and Joe Dobson can come through with their share of victories, the Red Sox should have little trouble keeping ahead of the pack in the junior circuit.
men on base to help the Phi Delt cause.
Ship's Co. rallied in the last of the second to tally its only run on two walks and a hit. Tight fielding by the Phil Delt's put out the fire.
The Phi Delt's scored their final runs in the fifth inning on a hit by Kaufman, an error, and two consecutive walks. Neither team threatened in the sixth or seventh innings.

Children's Health Doesn't Affect Growth; Evans Contends
"There is no consistent and marked difference in the growth of healthy and ill children," Miss Mary Evans, home economics instructor, stated in a recent article published in the American Journal of Diseases Children.
A daily record kept by the school nurse at the pre-school laboratory enabled the examiners to divide the children studied into five groups. Healthy children, those with mild diseases of the respiratory tract, those with prolonged illnesses, those with measles or chicken pox, and those with infections of both the respiratory and digestive tracts made up the five groups.
In a study made of 93 children who attend the pre-school of the University of Iowa. 64.5% of their fathers were professional workers or held important managerial positions, 28% were merchants or held minor managerial stations, and 7.5% were skilled laborers.
The study attempted to find out if children who have frequent and severe colds during winter months grow less than children who are healthy, and if children who gain the most weight from fall to spring are more healthy than those who gain the least.
The children were measured in the fall and six months later in the spring. Measurements taken were stature, weight, girth of arm, girth of leg, girth of chest, width of hip, and thickness of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Group one, of the healthy children, was compared with all four of the other groups. While some slight variances were found in the weight of healthy and ill children, there were no marked differences to indicate that the healthy child grows more rapidly than does the one who sick.
"We must remember," Miss Evans warns, "that these children came from homes of relatively high socioeconomic levels. The children received better than average care of health at all times and special attention while they were ill. They were kept at home until such lingering signs of illness and fatigue and listlessness had disappeared."

Tale of "Jack the Giant Killer" May Be True
"Jack the Giant Killer" may have been a true story, according to Dr. H. H. Lane of the zoology department who gave a talk on the recent discoveries of prehistoric man this week at the monthly meeting of the Wilson club.
He reported that in the last ten years, traces of several races of giant men, with teeth six times the size of normal teeth, have been discovered in China and Java. These discoveries suggest that some of our legends are perfectly true.
According to Dr. Lane, some of our folklore tales were based on mis-interpretations, such as the story of the Cyclops. The story of the one-eyed giant was based on elephant skulls. The hole in the skull, taken to be the eye of the giant, was merely the nasal socket of the elephant.
Another misinterpretation was made when a fossil was discovered in the Late Renaissance; the leg and knee cap bones of an elephant were misinterpreted to be bones of man. At that time, Adam was assumed to have been about 120 feet high, he said.

Postwar Delinquents Need Readjustment, School Head Says
Wichita. (UP)—Youth problems are being greatly increased during the post-war period, Lawrence H. Gardner, superintendent of the Boy's Industrial school, Topeka, told the Kansas Probate Judges' association meeting here Thursday.
"It is the function of the industrial school," he said, "to rehabilitate, re-educate and re-adjust boys emotionally, mentally and physically to fit into their social groups. The boys committed to an industrial school have not been able to adjust and adapt themselves to the rules and regulations of the social group in which they found themselves.
"The school must act as a part of the child welfare program in caring for them, and also as an educational institution." Gardner explained.
The judges' association meeting in Wichita will be held in conjunction with the 64th annual meeting of the Kansas Bar association. The Kansas Judicial association also will hold meetings.

Potter Picnic Grounds Tennis Courts to Be Finished This Week
The concrete dance pavilion west of Potter lake, and the new tennis courts south of the stadium will be ready for use this week. Prof. Leonard Axe, director of the University services, said today.
Because of the labor shortage and a lack of supplies, work on the dance slab has been delayed for several months, Professor Axe said. A stone mason was obtained last week, and the work will be finished soon, he said.
The rock wall, a stone retaining wall, and two of the three ovens are completed and work was started on the third oven today. Sod has been filled in around all of the bare spots and the brick fire-places are finished with the exception of the iron grills, which are being finished by the department of Buildings and Grounds.
The tennis courts, are completed except for grading and putting up backstops.

Bitter Bird Changes To Variety Magazine
London. (UP)—The Soviet Monitor quoted a radio Moscow broadcast today charging American occupation authorities in Japan with "strange tolerance toward thinly-veiled Japanese military formations and allied associations."
The '46-'47 Bitter Bird will be a variety magazine and not strictly a humor magazine, Terry Herriott, editor-in-chief, announced at a staff meeting Monday night.
Soviet Fears Probable Jap Underground
despite last week's disruption of service. The scene here shows trains pulling out of the Pennsylvania rail yards. (NEA Telephoto)
The broadcast described a "co-operative farm" in the village of Thimakidzu, near Thiba, and claimed the farm staff included three Japanese generals, 29 colonels and lieutenant colonels, 39 majors and hundreds of lower ranking military personnel.
Plans were made to publish six issues and to increase the editorial staff to 19, the business staff to 12, and the publicity staff to 9, plus contributors, cartoonists, artists, copy checkers, rewriters, idea men, and photographers for next year.
New staff members will be announced soon, Herriott said. There are still openings on the staff and those wishing to work for the Bitter Bird may leave applications at the Bird office in the Union on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., he announced.

Coyan Defeats Ewers In IM Golf Final
By virtue of some great clutch putting, Bob Coyden, Delt, defeated Jerry Ewers, Sig Alph, in the intramural championship match played over the Lawrence Country club course yesterday. Coydon had to withstand Ewers' strong comeback on the last nine to win 2-1.
Coyan got off to a fast start and was three up at the turn. He won the first, second, fourth, and eighth holes while Ewers was winning the ninth. On the last nine, Ewens hit his stride and took the first and third holes to leave Coyan holding a one-margin.
Both golfers parred the 13th, Coyan took the 14th, and the 15th hole was halved to give Coyan a two-up lead going into the last three holes. On the 16th hole Coyan sank a 10-foot putt to halve the hole, and repeated this performance on the next hole to win the match.
Ewers shot a 39, 37-76 while the winner was wired a 36, 37-73 total. Coyan's shots to the green were the deciding factor. Coyan had defeated Libby, Ph Gam, and Ewers had downed McClure, Phil Delt, to reach the finals.

Petrillo Challenges Restraining Law
Washington. (UP) — Justice department officials today accepted the challenge of President James Caesar Petrillo of the American Federation of Musicians (AFL) to test the constitutionality of the anti-Petrillo law.
Petrillo ordered a strike yesterday at WAAF, a Chicago radio station, when it refused his request to double the number of its musicians. The recently-approved anti-Petrillo law makes it a felony to require, or attempt to require, a broadcasting station to hire more persons than it needs.
In calling the strike, Petrillo expressed the "sincere belief" that the federal law directed at him is unconstitutional.
French Patent Atomic Process

Coal Settlement Expected Today
Washington. (UP) —Officials of the United Mine Workers held a hurried conference today simultaneous with a union announcement at Columbus, Ohio, that a UMW-government agreement to end the soft coal strike has been reached and that details now are being discussed.
There was no official word here that an agreement had been worked out. However, J. A. Krug, coal administrator, and John L. Lewis neared an accord on details of a government wage contract necessary to start the flow of coal from strike-bound mines.
The White House was reported to be expecting completion of the contract today.
Meanwhile, Krug directed operators of all idle mines east of the Mississippi, except Michigan, to hold all loaded cars at the mines to provide an emergency supply for essential purposes.
With coal stocks already low because of the recent six-week mine walkout, the new strike has cut coal production to about 10 per cent of normal.
Lewis and the UMW negotiating committee spent three hours with Krug yesterday afternoon, beginning their second week of conferences since President Truman on May 21 seized the bituminous mines. Another 50-minute conference was held last night.
Meanwhile, the government acted to prevent a threatened nationwide maritime strike scheduled for June 15. Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach called union and management representatives for joint conferences to prevent a walkout of 200,000 seamen and longshoremen that would affect 3,100 ships in every major U.S. port.
In another major labor development, New York state mediation officials settled the one-day general strike which had paralyzed Rochester, the state's third largest city.
Approximately 48,000 AFL and CIO workers at Rochester were to return to work today after a strike called in sympathy with public works employees who struck May 16 over a demand for union recognition.

Alford Replaces Elliott on A.S.C. By Y.M.Vote
Gene Alford, Engineering freshman, was elected All-Student Council representative of the YMCA in that group's Memorial Union meeting Tuesday night.
The election recalls Wesley Eliott, former YMCA representative who served for only one meeting on the ASC, and took place in the same building and at the same time Eliot was being installed on the council.
Elliott was named ASC representative last week by the YMCA cabinet. He is the group's vicepresident, and was to serve on the council "to be certain that the YMCA seat was reserved there," Ned Linegar, executive secretary, told the Daily Kansan today. The YMCA was given back its council place just last week, after losing it during the group's wartime inactivity.
Alford's election, according to Mr. Linegar, was an "obvious political move," but "will be perfectly all right with the YMCA providing Alford remembers that he is first a YMCA man, not a representative of any other group," he told the Daily Kansan today.
Mr. Linegar referred to the apparent "packing" of the YMCA membership by members of the Pachacamac political party. Pachacamac members, who refused to be identified, agreed that the group "packed" the meeting with members who had joined the YMCA the past week.
Mr. Linegar explained to the group that if the YMCA representative on the council "voted in such a way as to descend to the low levels of moral conscience," he would feel impelled to "advise the YMCA cabinet to recall that representative and replace him with a man who would truly represent the group."
The YMCA now has 144 members, 48 of whom joined in the past seven days, Mr. Linegar told the Daily Kansas
tive secretary of the campus YWCA. activities on the campus, and is the son of Mrs. Christine Alford, executive secretary of the campus LWCA.
Earl Stanton, Pachacamac campaign manager, pointed out at the Tuesday meeting that Elliott's selection was "undemocratic," and called for a representative selected by the "group as a whole."
Alford, Elliott, Wilbur Noble, and Bruce Bathurst were nominated but the voting centered on the first two. Alford won over Elliott. S3-22.
After this business, the meeting heard a talk by the Rev. J. E. Wonder, former army chaplain, on "Foxhole Religion," and saw motion pictures of the K.U.-K-State 1945 football game, shown by Henry Shenk, former football coach and new head of the University physical education department.

Next month one of the best-known figures on the campus will step out of the difficult job she has handled well for the past 11 years.
Few persons realize how hard it is to be adviser of women, or the importance of decisions she must make. Rules, which to students are trying and unnecessary, are to her long-pondered compromises merging the various wishes of thousands of University women, their parents, and anyone else who has an interest in the University.
Since living and social conditions are such a vital part of college training, the institution's success is based to a large extent on their handling of these problems. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar's responsibility has been for the moral standards of the University.
The burdens of many women's personal problems have been no small weight for Miss Meguiar's slender shoulders; but, as one student put it, "she has gone out of her way to help people." Illness, financial problems, family tangles—these she has helped others to straighten out.
Her soft white hair, dark eyes and gracious manner have lent dignity to campus affairs, including many for which she has opened her own home. "Lizzie's Lodge," as Mortar Board members have reminiscently referred to it since a circus party there, has adapted itself equally well to delightful formal occasions. Her Kentucky hospitality has been extended to Greek and Independent, to faculty wives and working students, to home economics and engineering majors alike.
Above all, Miss Meguiar has been fair. Rules which would appear to restrict college women she has shown to be a guard against injustices as well. She has been quick to stand up for students against unfairness by others. To women who have shown responsibility she has returned her faith and trust. She has administered rules as practically as possible.
Her insistence that "surely there are more newsworthy persons than I," while a trial to reporters, has manifested a trait that has done as much as anything else to earn her the respect of the campus.
"It's very nice to be back and see all my friends," she said when she returned after an illness last year. This seems to sum up her attitude toward the women and relationships which have been her job as adviser of women.-A.B.
With strikes on all sides of us, no one has yet proposed a strike against finals. That would be the final blow.
Pink Lemonade World
The youngsters on our street were selling lemonade yesterday. I had a glass and asked them how business was, and didn't tell them that there are some who argue that free enterprise doesn't exist any more.
Life is so beautifully simple to one of that age. The girls were explaining that they could cook—the older said she could "make" eggs and bacon, "sorta."
The youngest, a big-eyed child with braids more than half as long as herself, announced eagerly that she could make toast. Eggs, too, she added, a shade less confidently, and happily still.
One of the little boys, not to be outdone, declared that he could cook, too. Apparently the other frankly could not; but when it was suggested that perhaps he could wash dishes, he indicated with the age-old perfect disgust of little boys that he knew a great deal about washing dishes.
A puppy lives at their house, too. One might realize that, on noticing that the morning paper consists of scattered shreds, or on hearing lonesome howls from the backyard when his little friends leave him tied alone
These are the things that make growing up or growing old not so bad. Marbles, cooky jars, playing circus in the backyard—these are in a world outside of the adult realm of dishonesty, hate, and superficialities; yet they live in the adult heart and help keep hope and happiness astir.
We hear rain on the roof, and remember long-ago carefree Aprils and bunny salads at a tea-party. We smell fresh-baked bread, and live again the golden days of past Septembers, a panorama of new pencils, spicy-sweet fresh pickles, and Drop the Handkerchief. We live every Christmas in a peace and joy that is as near the naivete of childhood as those who have left that land can ever approach.
May men be forgiven for the sorrows their selfishness, quarrels and petty adult matters have forced on the world's children. And may they find new hope in the frank, enthusiastic faith of children. as perennial as the sun. If only the goodness of childhood could be retained, tempered with mature judgment, what a good world man could have!
Let's not tell them, just yet, what a mess we are making for them. The approach which has not sidestepped disillusionment can get more directly to problems.
As long as there are children, or people who still keep a flicker of a star in their eyes, the world will surely be bright and good.—A.B.

Eight K.U. Students Voice Objections To Increased Fee
To the Daily Kansan: We, a group of students, feeling ourselves to be typical of all students in this University, wish to protest against the increase of fees, particularly the $15 increase in incidental fees, as approved by the Board of Regents.
We base our disapproval on the following points:
1. Class and laboratory fees seldom amount to $15 for students in the College and most of the other schools.
★
2. Including laboratory fees in the incidental fee is not particularly saving because breakage of laboratory materials will still have to be paid. If we must pay this additional amount, why not include as one of its benefits a provision to take care of this breakage of materials?
3. According to the bulletin of the University of Kansas, 48 per cent of the students are entirely or partially self-supporting. With rising living costs, many of these students are finding it difficult to stretch their budget enough to cover the present fees. We already know of several students who have stated that they will be unable to attend the University next year because of the added cost of attending school here.
4. Many of the upper classmen have completed all laboratory courses. Would it be fair for them to pay someone else's fees?
5. One purpose of the new regulation was to equalize fees among the schools. It does not even accomplish this purpose since fine arts students will have to pay for practice rooms and lessons in addition to the new fee and medical students will be subject to an unbelievable increase in costs.
It has been our belief that this state university was for all those who wished to prepare themselves for vocations or professions. Now it has apparently become a University only for those whose income fits the upper brackets.
If the purpose of the decision of the Board of Regents is to cut down enrollment, it will no doubt accomplish its purpose. However, we feel that limited enrollment could be
To the Daily Kansan: The auto accident that occurred Monday morning at Oread and Mississippi, though not serious, might have been avoided entirely if the traffic cop had been in position in the center of the street. Instead, he was standing on the corner, casually watching the cars go by.
Traffic Should Be Directed Between Classes Says Junior
Getting names and details after the accident seems minor compared to their prevention and the protection of the students who are driving and crossing the intersection during class changes.
Why have a policeman on the campus at all if he doesn't protect us? Is his only job putting red tickets on cars parked in the wrong lots or along the wrong streets, or splitting hairs over orange lines?
College Junior (Name withheld by request)
Perhaps it was too early this morning for him to be waving his arms or had he already done his setting-up exercises for the day? Since we can't change our class schedule for him, maybe we should change our cop.
brought about in a more satisfactory and democratic manner.
We suggest that the Board of Regents publish an itemized account of what will be done with the additional fee, because we, as students of the University of Kansas, feel that we have a right to know how our money will be spent.
—Maybelle St. Lawrence, College Sophomore; Jo Ann Rossillon, College Freshman; Evangeline Fratt, Fine Arts Sophomore; Reva Dwyer, Fine Arts Freshman; Vera M. Hodges, College Freshman; Mary E. Moore, College Freshman; Betty Parsons, College Sophomore.
(Editor's Note: The elimination of laboratory fees by an increase in the incidental fee is a step that a majority of the large colleges and universities have already taken. The principle of students assisting in the payment of costs in other departments and schools of the University is not new. The incidental fee has served this purpose in the past. The increase is merely a continuation of that policy.

A true gentleman. Hoyt Baker, a true gallant from the old school, while playing in a golf match one afternoon, was carrying Billie Simmons over some really rough territory. Uh-huh, you guessed it; they both went down in a heap.
That mysterious call. Last week Pat Foster mentioned in this column that a mysterious girl had been calling Jack Greer and not revealing her identity. The calls still persist and the "female-phoner" also called Pat and threatened her not to mention the incident again. Needless to say, Pat is very frightened; Jack is perplexed and disgusted; and the "girl" is still determined.
Room wanted. Late one night, Bud Seaman was groping his way into his room in the dark. He bumped the divan and the leg just "acci-dentally" happened to fall off. Needless to say, the Sigma Nu actives weren't the least impressed by excuses and told him in low sweet tones to fix it. Armed with a very strong glue, Bud complied. Came the dawn, and the actives discovered he had glued the leg on another seat and not the divan. Anyone have an extra room for rent?
education, the fees in some of the schools, such as engineering and medicine would be exorbitant. To spread out that cost involves a principle similar to that employed in taxation. Paragraph one of the above letter seems to neglect consideration of the science departments in the College.
Raymond Nichols, University executive secretary, pointed out that, "Our fees have been comparatively nominal when one considers the fees in other schools of similar size." He also declared that laboratory costs have risen considerably during the past few years.
Before this action was taken, a member of the faculty of Kansas State college made a survey of 20 large colleges and universities in the country and found that the majority of them are following much this same system of increasing incident fees and eliminating laboratory fees as much as possible.

'Novel' Advice and Criticism Given Free In Writing Laboratory
Need free advice and criticism on your latest novel or poem? Then take it to Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, English instructor and critic for the writing laboratory.
<
Mrs. Calderwood says that most students have the mistaken idea that the writing laboratory is helpful only to persons who need some additional help with their fundamental English grammar and punctuation before taking the English proficiency examination.
Mrs. Calderwood has had excellent luck selling her book reviews. She said that if enough students showed an interest in modern writing, perhaps meetings could be arranged next fall with different writers and novelists coming in to give short talks offering suggestions about what kind of stories are selling best, how to succeed in selling stories, and discussion of modern writing techniques and styles.
"We are always glad to help students who come to us for this reason but we do have another function, that of criticizing and offering help to advanced students who write novels, short stories, book reviews, poetry or any literary work they are uncertain about" she explains
Students who are interested enough in fiction writing to climb the five flights of stairs to the writing laboratory in Fraser with their manuscripts find understanding and constructive criticism waiting for them.
A grid team from Fort Lewis, Wash., once participated in a Pasadena Rose Bowl game. Known as Camp Lewis back in 1918, the post lost a 19-7 count to the Mare Island Marines.

Western Kansas Hunts Rain-Bearing Snakes
Liberal—Western Kansas citizens are trying a new way to get rain—they're collecting snakes.
The Koshare Indians, appearing in Garden City and Liberal this week, have asked Kansans to help them find the live bullsnakes they hold in their mouths for the authentic rain dance.
The tribe is a scout troop from La Junta, Colo. Under the direction of their leader, "Buck" Burshears, the boys have studied Indian lore and constructed authentic costumes for their dances.
South Pass in the Continental Divide in Wyoming was considered the halfway mark on the Oregon Trail.
Eisenhower, Nimitz Ask To Train Nations
Washington. (UP)—The two top leaders of the nation's armed forces, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, appeared before the house foreign affairs committee in support of President Truman's proposal to let the U.S. train and equip the armies of other western hemisphere nations.
Eisenhower said that before World War II many Latin-American nations were militarily equipped by foreign nations and that foreign military and naval missions were present, including "some from Axis powers."
Champ Sheep Shearer
Navy Has Program To Keep Reserve Pilots in Training
Craig, Col. (UP)—Obra Meyers, 41-year-old Mi nnersville, Utah, farmer, sheared five sheep in 12 minutes, 31 and four-tenths seconds to win the world's sheep shearing championship here.
The Navy does not want to let its hot pilots cool off, Lt. Comdr. R.W. Fleck told about 50 reserve officers at a meeting in Fraser theater Thursday.
For this reason a two-phase program has been approved by Congress, he said. Between now and July 1 reserve officers on inactive duty may report to the naval air Reserve station nearest their home to fly at least two hours pilot time a month. Beginning with the new fiscal year, July 1, the newly completed Naval Air Reserve program will provide 100 hours flying time annually for pilots in the ready reserve, those who have had sea duty, and 50 hours a year for standby reserve aviators, he stated.
This long-range program will help keep the naval air arm prepared for any national emergency, he said. In addition it will enable pilots who have returned to civilian life to do some flying with modern naval craft at regular navy pay. Flying days will continue also for aircrewmen, and ground personnel will be able to keep abreast of the latest developments in postwar naval aviation, he said.
Two weeks training duty at sea will be offered each year, during the summer vacation period, to all reservists who have flown eight hours a month during four drill periods to maintain their fleet proficiency, he said. Non-flying officers and enlisted personnel will attend 48 drill periods a year.
The reserve Marine squadron will be organized separately, he said.
Show Fever Films
Films or, the control of yellow fever, dengue fever, and malaria, through the control of the mosquito, were shown by Dr. H. B. Hungerford to his medical and entomology classes Thursday in Snow hall. Seventeen students were present.
K.U. Chapel's Vesper Hour Has Varied Audience
Danforth chapel, spiritual haven of the University, appeals to both students and townpeople, according to Mrs. Donald Brodie, organist for the chapel's vesper hour.
The organ vesper hour begins at 4:15 p.m. every day. Attendance is lighter on weekdays than on Sundays, Mrs. Brodie said.
During a typical vesper hour Wednesday, a professor, three elderly women, and a student strolled in to look at the stained glass windows and at the furnishings. A sailor and a woman student listened to the organ music.
"To aspire nobly, adventure daringly, and serve humbly," as stated in its dedication, is the chapel's reason for being.
County Correspondents'
String Books Due Monday
County correspondents of State Wide Activities must turn in their string books to the Alumni office by Monday to be eligible for the annual writing prizes, Elizabeth Evans, chairman of the county correspondents, announced today.
First prize will be $25, second $10,
third $5, and fourth, 10 prizes of $1
each. Awards will be made before
June 12, she said.
"Judging will be on a basis of quantity and quality of material written during the year," Miss Evans explained. "The size of the correspondent's town also will be taken into consideration."
Truman Will Seek Re-election,
Wallace Tells Reporters
New York. (UP) — Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace stated flatly recently that President Truman will run for reelection in 1948.
"And I am going to support him." Wallace told reporters at LaGuardia field who asked him if he would be a candidate for the presidential nomination.
Storer Tells Chemists Stars, Earth, Sun Are Of Same Composition
The stars, the earth, and the sun all have the same chemical composition, Prof. N. W. Storer, of the astronomy department, explained at a recent meeting of the Chemistry club
Professor Storer spoke on "The Chemistry of the Stars." Slides illustrating galaxies of stars, spectrums, and graphs were shown.
The elements of the stars are determined with a spectroscope which records the spectrums of the different elements by producing sets of colored lines. No two elements have the same set of lines in the spectrum.
The earth is situated near the center of a galaxy, a group of stars, that is so large it would take 100,000 light years for a ray of light to go from one side to the other.
The sun is a star although it is below average in size and temperature as compared with other stars. The earth is so distant from other stars, however, that if the hottest star were to shine on a telescope on the earth for a year it would produce only two calories of heat, he said.
Those nearest the earth appear to be travelling away from the earth but in reality they are not. According to Professor Storer, the illusion is caused by the universe's expansion.
He illustrated the expanding universe by explaining the action was like blowing up a balloon with ink spots on it. The spots would get farther apart, not by traveling away from any one spot but by expanding. If one were on one of the spots, however, it would seem the rest were traveling away from it.

DEMOTION IN ENGLAND.
Scientists Search For Roman Relics Amid Odors of London Fish Market
London. (UP)—A search for relics by which it is hoped the exact date of the first Roman city in the London area can be determined is being conducted today on a blitzed site in the eastern part of the old "City of London"—through the courtesy of the city's fishmongers.
Not far from the ancient Roman basilica court once stood and where sprawling "Leadenhall Market" stands today, smelling strongly of fish, archaeologists of the Society of Antiquarians and the London City Corporation Museum have uncovered "Roman layers" rating from the 1st century to about 200 A.D.
At present there is not much to see—a trench about 10 feet deep and about 16 feet below street level and about four feet wide and a dozen long. Halfway down the sides can be seen parts of an old wall.
"Tudor-period remnants of some ecclesiastical buildings which probably stood near here" is the way Adrian Oswald, City Corporation or "Guildhall" archaeologist expressed it.
Other traces—a bit of Roman pottery and green glazed Roman glass and a chip of red "dinner ware such as the Romans imported from southern France" — do not amount to much, but they do hold out hope.
Oswald, a short, stocky young man of 37, who recently was demobilized from the British army after six years, is directing the on-spot "dig." The evacuation is sponsored by and paid for by the Society of Antiquarians and under the supervision of W. F. Grimes.
"What we hope to find is the date of the first Roman city, which it is believed, but never has been comparatively proven, stood around Corn Hill."
Although the City Corporation is assisting in the search, the permission of the Fishmongers, who own the property and the hulks of battered buildings which surround the site had to be obtained before any digging started. Incidentally, the Fishmongers own the "treasures" thus far uncovered as well as the oyster shells, animal bones—including a wild boar's jaw and teeth—which inevitably are found in "Roan layers."
"In a short time we hope to have something to show for our work," Oswald said. "We have found two layers thus far in the short ditch we have uncovered. We still have live to 10 feet farther down in which we should find Roman layers.
That would be about three blocks from the present "dig" where the Bank of England now stands. The actual foundation lines of the old Basilica have been found, as well
as other traces of a Roman city in this area, but it is believed that such grand buildings actually were part of the second or third growth of the original city.
Oswald also hopes perhaps he may find below the undisturbed layers of "Roman" some traces of the existence of a "British city" which may have stood on or near this spot before the Romans began building.
The actual existence of such a city has long been debated by British students and many concursive arguments both proving and disproving its existence have been produced. If is possible that since this site apparently has long been undisturbed that some indications of a camp or town preceding Londinium may be found.
"We chose this site," Oswald said. "because it is the only one on the spot which has been blitzed and which still is not encumbered with debris. Also, it has not been torn up too much. We know the area in which we wished to dig and just looked for a spot which would not give us too much trouble."
That may seem rather a hit-or-miss way to go looking for traces of a city which has been gone for 20 centuries, but Oswald and his cohorts had produced tangible evidence that Romans had been on that spot, even if it is only a garden or a rubbish heap, and they are confident of further finds.
$64 Question Proves Simple For Hollywood Movie Researchers
Hollywood. (UP)—If you think the $64 question is the penultimate in posers, see petite Ann Harris, head of the Selznick studio research department. She answers 'em for a living.
Miss Harris doesn't look like the popular conception of a research expert with horn-rimmed glasses and a slightly musty odor about her.
expert with horn-rimmed glasses a She is young and attractive, with dark hair and snapping black eyes, and smells like nothing but Chanel No. 5.
"I thought the saturation point had been reached when I supervised the research on 'Gone With the Wind,'" the diminutive walking encyclopedia said. "But 'Duel in the Sun' has been even more of a headache.
"We learned that before 1919 you could shoot pool in Texas although it's illegal now," she said. "And that's only one. We verified that the U.S. flag had 38 stars in 1883—that one was easier than learning that ranch dinner-gongs were called 'hash hammers.'"
She also discovered that chuckwalla lizards are common to both Arizona and West Texas; that wild horses usually can't be herded into a corral if someone is sitting on the fence, and that Palominos were not as popular in West Texas during the time of the story as they were in California.
"We found that the 1873 model Winchester rifles, either 44- or 45-caliber, which used the same ammunition as the Colt revolvers of the same caliber, were the most popular in the Southwest then."
Miss Harris used 441 reference books, was asked and answered 812 questions and spent 1,528 research man-hours on David O. Selnick's $5,000,000 technicolor film of Texas in the 1870s.
Governors Convene To Discuss Problems
Board Recommends Changes In Army Regulations
Oklahoma City. (UP)—The 38th annual governors conference convened here today to discuss conservation, tax, and veterans problems, but apparently it will ignore strikes and labor legislation.
"The first requisite for anyone interested in making research a career is an insatiable curiosity." Miss Harrison said. "Equipped with that, finding the answers is not only a career, it's fun, too."
Washington (UP)—A special army investigating board today recommended revolutionary changes in army regulations to correct abuses by officers and to strengthen the rights of enlisted men.
Unless some governor bolts the prepared schedule the question of strikes and what to do about them will be overlooked. But the meeting is groggy from effects of the rail strike which compelled President Truman, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, and other headline attractions to cancel plans to come here.
The "gripe board," headed by Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle, blamed the caste system abuses on a minority of poor officers and remnants of Prussian Militarism in army routine.
"The present system does not permit full recognition of the dignity of man," the board concluded.

SPOTLIGHT
ON SPORTS
By BOB MOORE
Much has been said, but little has actually been done, about getting the University a fieldhouse.
During the war, when travel restrictions limited crowds. Hoch auditorium was big enough. But it is not adequate now. This fact was evidenced last winter when thousands of sports enthusiasts were turned away from Jayhawker cage tilts, with the resultant financial loss to KU.'s athletic coffers.
Kansas basketball prospects for next year are exceptionally bright. But the team's drawing power still remains the same here, even if the Crimson and Blue quintet is a contender for national honors. Dr. F. C. Allen, Jayhawker cage coach, has asked for a new fieldhouse seating 13,000, some 5,000 fewer than Dana Bible's proposed fieldhouse at Texas would seat.
One of the big difficulties blocking the early building of a new fieldhouse at the University is that Kansas State made the same request a number of years ago. Several years ago, when prominent state legislators were in attendance at an Aggie basketball contest, several life-like dummies were dropped from the rafters to impress the dignitaries with the possible dangers of the crowded condition.
Iowa State has already made plans to build a two-million dollar field-house. Such a building would not be used solely for basketball, but also as a center for other sports events and attractions of all kinds. It would also have adequate gymnasium facilities, which are badly needed at K.U.
You might ask why not play our basketball games in Kansas City? In the first place, the gate receipts are cut too many ways. The auditorium is hard to obtain and the floor is too hard or lacks spring. Then, too, the team should practice where it plays, and Jayhawker students should have priority at their own athletic contests.
It looks as though K.U. is second in line when it comes to legislative assistance for fieldhouse projects. But do Kansas basketball and sports followers need to wait years for this potential money-maker to materialize? I don't believe so.
Why not start a campaign now to sell fieldhouse bonds which on maturity will pay enough interest to make the investment profitable? I believe such a move would meet with success—especially among K. U. alumni. They would be providing for some future financial security as well as enjoyment for themselves.
---
While on the subject of athletic additions to the University of Kansas, we shouldn't overlook the necessity of having better golf facilities for the students. The present situation is undesirable from both the Lawrence club members' viewpoint and the students'.
The Lawrence Country Club cut their course from 18 to 19 nine holes shortly after the start of the war. This made for crowded conditions during the war period, especially with 'the influx of new people working at Sunflower. Originally the club was private, but it let these newcomers play anyway.
Now with the war over, an increased number of students have taken up the game. However, several weeks ago the club raised the green fees to alleviate the crowded conditions. Many students continue to play golf at the increased rate, but for some it has become too expensive a pastime. A nine hole course for K.U. students would be welcomed by both University and Lawrence golfers.
***
If the University of Kansas is ever going to have a really successful baseball setup, one of the first things that should be done is the improving of the baseball field's drainage. The present condition is deplorable.
When it rains, the playing field becomes a quagmire. Water drains down the Hill to the field and stops.

Washington. (UP)—The fighting heart of Walter Johnson gave him a chance today to pitch one more shutout—against death.
'Big Train' Fights Against Death
Several games this spring had to be postponed that normally could have been plaved.
Critically ill with a stroke, the immortal 58-year-old former hurling star for the Washington Senators, rallied and showed the same great courage that had given him an all-time major league record of 113 shutout victories during his 21-year career.
How can reliable Big Six baseball standings be determined when often each member school plays only about half the remaining schools? That was the case this year when Kansas played but three conference members-Kansas State, Nebraska, and Missouri.
His family was summoned from nearby Alta Vista, Md., to his bedside last night at Georgetown hospital, after he had taken a sudden turn for the worse Tuesday.
Scheduled games with Oklahoma were postponed and Iowa State was not even scheduled. If Big Six baseball is to progress to the point it should, this situation must be remedied.

'Oldsters' Are Favored In Indianapolis Race
Indianapolis, Ind., (UP)—Two veteran drivers who often have shared the heart-breaks of the sports world's toughest test, the 500-mile Memorial Day automobile race at the Indianapolis Speedway, were favorites today as they awaited the start of the 30th renewal of the motor classic.
Co-favorites for the first renewal since 1941 are Ralph Hepburn of Nu Vuys, Calif., and Rex Mays of Long Beach, Calif. Hepburn turned in a record-breaking qualifying time of 133.944 miles per hour.
A record crowd of 175,000 fans are expected to pour approximately $1,000,000 into the till tomorrow. Admission prices range from $3.00 for the right to stand in the infield to the $18.00 box seats in the grandstand at the middle of the stretch. The cheapest seat, and every one has been sold for months, is $7.50.
Hepburn will be starting his 15th speedway race tomorrow, while Mays will line up for his ninth start. Hepburn finished second in 1937, a scant three seconds behind the winning Wilbur Shaw. Mays was runner-up in both 1940 and 1941.

Defeating the sophomore class softball team, 5-4. Tuesday, the seniors became undisputed champions in the softball class tournament. The juniors won over the freshmen, 5-2, to take third place honors.
Marita Lenski pitched to Ruth Green for the seniors and Maxine Gunsolly hurled to Joan Anderson for the sophomores. This was the closest game played during this softball season. Marjorie Kaff, sophomore, hit a home run which made it anyone's game. In the last inning the seniors had a hitting streak and forged ahead to win.
Horseman pitched to Fadler for the juniors in a game with little excitement. Battery for the freshmen was Stoll and White.

KICK THE BUCKET
Pigs when killed, were often hung over a bucket while bleeding—it was not uncommon for the pig in the thrashing of death to kick over the bucket—we still say "kick the bucket" referring to death.
Hay Fever Victims May Find Hope In Chemical That Kills Ragweed
Washington. (UP)—Get out your spray guns, hay fever sufferers. There's hope for you in the sensational and comparatively cheap new weed killer developed by the Department of Agriculture.
The chemical—known officially a commercial names—is death to ragweed, No. 1 troublemaker for hay fever victims.
Later spraying will prevent ragweed pollen from forming, he discovered.
L. W. Kephart, one of the department's crops and soils experts, has found that 2.4-D will destroy *Agweed plants*, if they are sprayed with the chemical early in the season.
But, because ragged grews grows su abutantly from coast - to - coast and border-to-border of the United States it's going to require a large-sized, prolonged battle to kill off the plant to any extent by this method.
Ragweed pollen, he explains, travels for miles and is found even at sea.
Kephart thinks that 2,4-D probably could do a lot for hay fever sufferers in New York City, for instance.
However, the less ragweed pollen in the air the fewer the sniffles caused by this particular irritant.
"New York is relatively remote from agricultural areas," he explained. "Because of this you'll find less ragweed pollen in the air there."
"Municipalities in the Manhattan area could use 2,4-D to kill the ragweed in the vacant lots and neighboring fields and wipe out that source of the pollen."
A campaign along these lines could take most of the ragweed-brooked sneezes out of the Greater New York air, he believes. Various spraying machines could be used and possibly devices such as manufactured fog for wartime smoke screens.
But he doesn't think such a program would have much effect in a city like Indianapolis which is surrounded by farm areas.
Stamping out the ragweed in farm teas poses many problems, he intended out.
Chief among these is the fact that agweed grows often in great abundance in clover fields. Farmers would balk at using 2,4-D here, Kephart reasons, because the chemical kills clover, too.
Generally, the chemical destroys broad-leaved plants and is harmless to the narrow-leaved plants, such as grains. Kephart thinks it may be used effectively against the weeds which hamper corn and wheat crops, for instance.
It is already helping farmers to get rid of the troublesome wild onions which infest many pastures. Cows feeding on these pastures give onion-flavored 'milk' which is unmarketable for dairy uses and results in extensive losses for farmers.
Guam B-29's Break Payload Record
The chemical is proving a boon to golf club owners and the average home-maker is finding that he can rid his lawn of the major problems of dandelions and plantain with about $1 worth of 2,4-D.
Tokyo (UP)—Army B-29's stationed on Guam have broken the world's records previously held by the Soviet Union and Germany by lifting heavier payloads to new heights, Lt. Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead, commanding general of the Pacific Air command, has announced.
On May 15, Maj. Finlay F. Ross, Jr., Wichita, lifted a 2,200-pound load to 45,000 feet altitude, surpassing a former Soviet mark by 5,000 feet.
The official record showing the results for the "marathon" project were:
The day before, Lt. John P. Tobison, Fall River, Wis., flew an 11,000-pound load to 42,780 feet, smashing previous United States army record of 24,205 feet.
Records made earlier that week included new marks for 4,400, 22,000 and 33,000-pound payloads. The latter was carried to a height of approximately 6,200 feet.
Washington. (UP)—Arab nations today were expected to renew their strong opposition, possibly in the form of violence, over the state department's announcement that the United States fully endorse immediate admission of 100,000 Jewish refugees into the Holy Land.
In its statement on the Palestine report, the state department said decisions to consult with Arab and Jewish groups did not alter its determination to press for speedy transfer of the 100,000 Jews from Europe to Palestine.

East Kansas To Get 101 Miles of Highway Surfacing, Paving
Topeka. (UP)—The Kansas State Highway commission has announced that bids would be received and contracts let by June 12 for construction of more than 54 miles of federal and state highways in the first highway division of Kansas. Southeast Kansas will get 47 miles of new roads.

Ohio High School Graduates One Boy
Fincastle, Ohio (UP)—Valedictorian, honor student, class president, and boy most likely to succeed
—that is the unchallenged record of John William Martin, who tonight will be graduated as the only member of the class of 1946 at Fincastle Eagle High school.
John once was one of the 10 members of the class of '46, but the war and attraction of war industries in nearby cities left him without a classmate at the beginning of his senior year.
Young Martin will receive a college scholarship as the outstanding member of the class, an annual award at Fincastle. His class work actually compares very well with that of seniors elsewhere in the same county.
His commencement invitations have been printed in maroon and gold, the school colors. His class motto, chosen by himself, is "ambition has no rest."
The late Irvin S. Cobb, Paducah, Ky., was the first registered guest in the Irvin Cobb hotel, opened in that city in 1929.

Irwin, Thalman Nickell Elected ASC Officers
The All-Student Council for the 1946-47 school year was sworn in at a Memorial Union meeting Tuesday night, with Howard "Rope" Engleman, newly-elected president, in charge.
Council business included the selection of the top Committee on Committees, discussion of basketball tickets for next year, a report on the Negro housing situation, and an amendment to the ASC constitution.
Officers of the council, elected at the meeting, were John Irwin, vicepresident; Elaine Thalman, secretary, and Wendell Nickell, secretary. Nickell was re-elected.
Engleman, winner over Nickell in the campus election earlier this month, had another minor contest with his former opponent during the appointment of committee members. Engleman appointed Glenn Warner, Irwin, and Emily Stacey, but Nickell challenged his choices.
"I'd like to remind the president that a member from each political party plus one from the organizations must be on the committee," he said. "It doesn't seem to me that sufficient consideration has been given in choosing the members of this important committee."
"So far, you have chosen all Pacchacamacs, forgetting that politics shouldn't enter into the work of the council."
Engleman thanked Nickell for "putting me right on that point," then added:
"However it may seem to you, I am not appointing people because of political affiliations. I was considering those who have served capably before and have a little experience. No one feels more sincerely than I that party warfare must cease, now that the election is over."
He then appointed Nickell to the Committee on Committees, instead of Irwin.
The council voted to send Irwin and Owen Peck to ask the athletic and business office to work out a plan to have no basketball ticket in next year's activity books, to reduce the price of the activity book and to place basketball tickets on sale to students for two weeks before the season opens. They will request the "season" tickets to cover alternate games, so twice as many students may see some of the play.
Helen Howe, also on that committee, reported that Irvin Youngberg, University housing director, has assured her that "no single Negro men will be turned down for rooming accommodations next year." Youngberg explained that married couples will be on a "first come, first served" basis, she said.
Franzene Jackson, chairman of the committee on Negro housing, reported that investigation disclosed that most Negro students live in generally poor quarters, too far from the campus, poorly lighted, and with inadequate closet space.
An amendment to the constitution was passed to change the number of committee members from five to three. The change now goes to Chancellor Deane W. Malott for his approval.
A sub-committee of the scholarship committee was appointed to learn whether the University wishes to exchange students to South America or Russia. Carolyn Nigg, scholarship group chairman, presented a letter from the U.S. state department to the campus YMCA, explaining that the government is providing travel and maintenance funds for qualified students on such exchanges.
Communists Dominate Election
Prague, (UP) — Almost complete official results in Czechoslovakia's postwar election revealed today that the Communists have become the strongest party in the country and, in combination with lesser Marxist groups, may have won control of the 300-seat parliament.

Danforth Fellow Goes to Chicago Post
Jeanne Ackley, recent Danforth graduate fellow, has gone for a short visit to her home in Columbus, Ohio, before taking a position as secretary of the Y.W.C.A. at the University of Chicago.
Miss Ackley assisted numerous religious organizations on the campus since September. A farewell dinner was given for her at Henley house.
A Danforth fellow is a graduate who has been voluntarily interested in student religious life, and has been awarded a fellowship grant enabling her to spend a year in residence on a college campus. The fellows are not official representatives of any national organization but they spend a year learning and contributing as they may to all student religious activities and organizations. They are not obligated to join any particular organization after completion of the fellowship.
The Danforth graduate fellow is provided for by William H. Danforth of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Danforth gave the University its newest building, Danforth chapel.
Navy Training Pays Off, K.U. Men Agree

King, a member of the Feature Writing class taught by Harold Wilson, journalism instructor, described the campus photography business of Henry "Hank" Brown.
Chicago. (UP)—Defiance of the "anti-Petrillo" bill, James Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians today called a strike against radio station WAAF of Chicago, charging that the studio refused to double the number of musicians it employs at the demand of the union.

Dr. O. O. Stoland of the physiology department will address the organization.

Hughes Concludes Marriage Forum
Knowledge of human anatomy is not a knowledge of sex, the Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes of the Plymouth Congregational church told students attending the final lecture of the Love and Marriage forum Tuesday in the Union. He spoke on the "Moral Aspects of Marriage."
Earlier lectures in the series, which was sponsored by Y.W. and Y.M.C.A., were presented by Dr. Raymond Wheeler and Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, Arthur Partide introduced the Rev. Mr. Hughes.
"Sex has no single purpose," the Rev. Mr. Hughes said. "It provides for the reproduction of man and for his emotional maturity."
Discussing the meaning of marriage, the speaker declared that "marriage is the height of moral obligation, neither a control device nor a communal enterprise."
Adequate preparation for marriage is the only cure for divorce, he maintained.
And We Thought The War Was Over
A discussion period followed the lecture. Evaluation forms were passed out to determine student reaction to the forum in lieu of establishing similar programs next year.
Speaks at Michigan State
Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry, spoke to members of the faculty and chemistry department at Michigan State college, East Lansing, last week. His topic was "The Organic Chemist Discovers the Electron."

Dietrich Wins Business School Honor Award
F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, announced that Dietrich was eligible with other first semester seniors because his work had been interrupted by military service. Dietrich served with the army air forces in the Pacific.
Leonard Dietrich, business senior, received the Alpha Kappa Psi Medallion, annual award to the highest ranking man in the junior class of the School of Business, at the Business smoker Tuesday night.
Professor Leslie Waters, director of the K.U. bureau of business research, said that the bureau hopes to aid businessmen in this area by publishing articles telling about topics of importance in the business field. The bureau plans to begin publication of a monthly bulletin next fall, he explained.
Dr. Clarence McGregor, industrial analyst with the Federal Reserve bank in Kansas City, Mo., and instructor at the University from 1929 to 1932, spoke on "Business Research."
OPA Boosts New Car Prices From Four To Eight Per Cent
Washington. (UP)—New automobiles will cost you from $33 to $167 more than former ceiling prices.
Dr. McGregor said that at present business research may be compared to "Topsy" because it is "just growing." He told of work done by business research bureaus, including studies of management problems and business trends.
The OPA boosted prices another 4 to 8 per cent yesterday in granting the third price increase this year. OPA promised consumers, however, that there will be no further price advance "until actual operating experience at normal volume is available."
The new ceiling prices apply to all new passenger automobiles made by Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Hudson, Nash-Kelvinator, Packard, and Studebaker.

Anthracite Miners Refuse To Work
(By United Press)
The nation's 400,000 soft coal miners started back to the government-seized mines today to work under a new contract, by 76,000 anthracite miners struck at midnight on orders from John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers.
Also, more than 200,000 commuters were without transportation between New Jersey and New York as the result of a strike against the Hudson & Manhattan railroad. The brothershoods of trainmen and locomotive engineers said their strike was 100 per cent effective.
In another major labor dispute, seven maritime unions representing 200,000 seamen and longshoremen demanded 22 to 35 cent hourly wage increases at a government wage conference held to head off a strike scheduled for June 15.
Holiday Accidents Kill 109 Persons
(By United Press)
Americans observed their first postwar Memorial day in pre-war style. The same old automobiles sped over the same old highways to bring a return of the peacetime automobile accident and death rate.
At least 109 persons were killed in accidents; 34 were drowned; and 31 died from falls, fires, and other miscellaneous causes.
The greatest number of motorists since 1941 warmed over the highways to begin a four-day week end of travel. The safety council said at least 329 persons would die in week-end traffic accidents
Stalin Declines Truman's Invitation
Washington. (UP) — President Truman disclosed today that within the past 30 days he had invited Marshal Josef Stalin to visit Washington, but that Stalin declined because of poor health.
Mr. Truman told his news conference that he had not proposed a formal Big Three meeting but had simply invited Stalin here for a social visit.
Stalin's health has long been a topic of conversation in diplomatic circles. President Truman's statement was the first official word that the Soviet leader's physical condition has not been good.
Britain May Ration Bread, Flour
London. (UP) — John Strachey, Britain's new food minister, warned the house of commons that Britain's food position is so critical that bread and flour which were ration-free all through the war may be put on ration points.
Strachey made his statement after Herbert Morrison, lord president of the council, told commons that under a new agreement reached at Washington the combined food board had been asked to allocate 1,165,000 tons of grain to India and 675,000 to the British zone of Germany between May and September.

Stettinius Offers UN Resignation
Washington. (UP) — President Truman said today that Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., had submitted his resignation as U.S. representative on the United Nations Security council, but that the president is trying to persuade him to remain on the job.
Mr. Truman at his news conference that Stettinius sent a letter of resignation to the White House president has not yet answered it.
Washington. (UP) — President Truman appealed to the senate today to reinstate the work-or-bedraft provision in the emergency strike control bill he asked of congress last Saturday.
Mr. Truman said both he and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes wanted Stettinius to stay. The president added that Stettinius' desire to resign had been a surprise to him.
His desire to quit was disclosed amid circumstances which indicate differences between Stettinius and Byrnes, and dissatisfaction by Stettinius with the way Byrnes ignores and by-passes him on all important issues.
President Truman said he hoped that Stettinius would reconsider the resignation, and that he thought Stettinius would stay on the UN job.
President Appeals For Work-Draft Provision
Mr. Truman he would not act upon Mr. Stettinius' resignation until he had sent his a letter requesting him to remain as U.S. representative at UN.
Stettinius told Mr. Truman in his letter of resignation that he thought the original job he assumed on UN—to stay with it until the organization was well under way—was completed.
However, the origination currently is in the midst of a grave crisis with considerable skepticism, even in Security council circles, about the future of the organization.
At the same time, he told a news conference that he had not yet determined whether to sign or veto the Case labor bill, which establishes new restrictions on strikes in private industry.
Another "Love and Marriage" series probably will be conducted next year, Ned Linegar, Y.M.C.A. secretary, announced today. The results of the evaluation forms which were passed at the last series this year, have been tabulated and the cabinet will decide how the course is to be run.
More 'Love' in Fall, Courtesy Y.M.C.A.
The majority of the 68 students who turned in the evaluation forms favored a course on love and marriage for credit or a series of eight lectures. Some of them, however, favored personal or group counseling, Mr. Linegar said. The majority also thought that economical and practical aspects of marriage were underestimated in the series this year.
Y. M.C.A. will be active during the summer, Mr. Linegar stated. The cabinet will meet soon to make plans for the summer session, which will include helping with orientation, he said.
Library Hours Not Set For Final Week
Library hours during final week are not yet definitely set, according to C. M. Baker, director of the library. The usual schedule from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. will be maintained if student help can be obtained.
The library, open on Memorial day between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., recorded an attendance of 170 at 11 a.m., the largest during the day, but according to Mr. Baker the number was sufficient to keep the library open.
The summer session schedule has not been determined because of the help shortage but probably will be nearly the same schedule as the regular session, he said.
Jean Moore Given Highest Award At Speech Dinner
Jean Moore, college junior, received the annual Delta Sigma Rho award, highest honor to the person with the best inter-collegiate speech activities record, at the Speech Arts dinner in the Union Wednesday night.

Burch vs. Evans In 'Dream Game' For Softball Championship Today
Members of the faculty who have not sent in a report of the texts they intend to use in the summer and fall semesters are requested to do so immediately, the W.E.C. Book exchange announced toady.
By BILL SIMS (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
Burch has compiled a remarkable record in the softball history books. Last year he hurled 13 consecutive victories for the Blanks who won the title undefeated. He continued his winning streak in intumurals this season by pitching nine consecutive victories, including five shutouts.
time at the plate when facing Burch.
He has given up only 13 hits in nine games, hurling two no-hitters, four one-hitters, one two-hitter, one three-hitter, and one four-hitter.
Burch vs. Evans—the game softball fans have been waiting for all season. The "dream" game will come true when PT-7 and Phi Delta Theta clash for the intramural softball championship at 4:45 p.m. today on the intramural field.
Both teams are undefeated, and the game should be the best and hardest fought game in several years. Rumors are circulating that odds are being given either way you want to bet, and fans of both pitchers are arguing loud and long over the relative merits of their favorite.
Burch has struck out 104 batters in nine games for an average of 11.5 per game. His best average was 13 batters in a five-inning contest against the Ten Eycks, but his highest total was 15 against Pi Kappa Alpha.
Evans, who hurled five games for the Phi Delt's, also has compiled a good record. Statistics are not complete on Evans' pitching, but he also has caused opposing batsmen plenty of grief at the plate.
Evans has a blazing fast ball, and batters usually pop up or go down swinging when facing him. Although he has not hurled as many games as Burch, Evans has been the spark of the Phi Delt team with good hitting and fine fielding. He was used in left field in the games he did not pitch.

One World of Crosses
The people of America have again observed Memorial Day. Heartfelt homage has been paid to those who have died to preserve this nation.
This is as it should be. But even more important is that each American reserve a corner of his heart to carry the thoughts of that day with him throughout the entire year.
We find ourselves faced with many perplexing problems. The achievement of true peace, security, and happiness still seem far off. To many thousands of Americans who lie beneath white crosses around the world and to those who have gone to watery graves in the world's seas, eternal peace has come.
Their sacrifice was life itself. For us the living, the future likewise will call for sacrifices, but those sacrifices can give us a fuller, better life if we will but face the future in the courageous and unselfish spirit of those who died to preserve the flame of freedom.
On July 19, 1945, a war correspondent made this entry in his diary:
"Like so many other remote Pacific islands, this island too, now has its cemetery. Clean and fresh and blessed with peace. Its grass is cropped and the graves are well tended."
"You walk along the ordered rows that ripple off into the distance. Neat white crosses and, side by side with these, the six-pointed Stars of David. Then more crosses, and more stars—mingled, mixed up. They lie as they died—together, in the same cause. Men of many faiths, races and colors, side by side, not questioning each other's right to lie there. For here, at last, they found the universal brotherhood for which they fought."
The forces that bind people together in a common cause in time of war are too easily and quickly tossed aside when the direct military threat subsides. Again we find ourselves reverting to a feeling of narrow self-interest. And yet we must find a binding force in the greatest of all causes—the cause of lasting peace, freedom, and happiness.
In January, General Eisenhower spoke these words in an address: "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. Yet there is one thing to say on the credit side—victory required a mighty manifestation of the most enmobling of the virtues of man—faith, courage, fortitude, sacrifice.
"If we can only hold that example before our eyes; moreover, if we can remember that the international cooperation then so generously displayed points the sure way to the success of the United Nations, then the war can never be regarded as a total deficit.
"I have heard people say that wartime unity was based only on necessity. The necessity for cooperation has not passed. Nations that joined together to defeat ruthless enemies have even greater reason to remain united for the peaceful settlement of their differences lest new Hitlers rise to throw the world into a chaos more awful than the shattered countries of Europe present today. That is what we squarely face.
"We must not assume that this crusade for promoting mutual understanding can be successfully conducted exclusively by others—by the world's statesmen and political leaders. Each of us, however humble, has a part to play."
"to the end it will be the citizens of all countries who must outlaw war. Until the peoples of the world understand and respect the interests of their neighbors, the victory will elude us. All must march together toward peace."

The G Phi's were allowed four strikes and six outs while the Phi Delt's batted left-handed. The Phi Delt's graciously dropped the ball at every opportunity. Bob held the players, tripped them, and managed somehow to keep them from ever passing first. The only two runs were made by Ray who picked up the bases and carried them with him as he walked around the diamond.

Help. Peg Wynn nearly lost her roommate, Jean Kopp, the other day. She brought a couple hampsters (they look like the cross between a chipmunk and a mouse) home to Miller to observe their behavior. Jean dashed into the room, not knowing the curious little creatures were there, and practically broke the door down getting away from them. Peg has moved her pets to another room—where women are women.
Everyone loves a lover. Meg Wenski and friends journeyed to K.C. Sunday to a wedding. On the way home on the bus, Meg was carrying the bride's bouquet. The friends, or should we say fiends, informed the people on the bus that Meg had just been married by proxy. As Meg departed from the bus, everyone sang. "Here comes the bride."
How about a few "sober" serenades, fellas? We don't know much about music, but please, remember our poor ears.
Enough of this chicken. The army wrote to Ralph Coldren about his insurance a few days ago, and he wrote back immediately to tell them that he didn't like their "command type" of letter. He was no longer taking orders from any one (except the wife) and that they would have to write again and say "please" just once. Now he's wondering if there is such a thing as a civilian court martial.
THE GRADUATE
Where there's a will there's a way. Dixie Gilliand is a little nearer to her ambition. About a month ago she wrote a story for the "Feature Writing" course on how she had changed her mind about being a career woman and really wanted a home. The title was "I Wanta' Get Married". Dixie became engaged over the weekend.

'Dual Jobs Policy Of Navy Rebuked
Washington. (UP)—Two senators have rebuked the navy for expecting Vice Adm. Charles A. Lockwood to fill the dual jobs of fighting the Japanese at Guam and running a ships store at Pearl Harbor.
Chairman James M. Mead, Democrat, New York, of the senate war investigating committee and Sen. Homer Ferguson, Republican, Michigan, criticized the navy's assignment policies after hearing of widespread irregularities at the Pearl Harbor store.
An official navy report given the committee yesterday said that civilian employees of the navy's submarine ships service store walked off with $60,000 worth of cash and merchandise. The report also revealed that some $500,000 worth of goods was imported in navy ships to be sold in local civilian stores, an "Alice-in-Wonderland" naval officer assigned shipping priorities to musical powder boxes, and morale-building ukuleles, imported by the navy, later turned up in a civilian store's "anniversary sale."
Sunday dinner guests at Ricker hall were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reece, Kansas City, and Mr. and Mrs. Loren King, Lawrence.

Phi Beta Kappa Adds 29 Members To Kansas Chapter
Since its organization, the Kansas Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has had 1621 members. At 5:30 p.m. Monday, 29 seniors will be added to this number.
The first chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was organized on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va. This chapter grew into the present national fraternity which includes more than 140 of the best institutions of learning in the country. Phi Beta Kappa exists for the ideals of fraternity, morality, and literature.
On April 2, 1880, eight members of the faculty at the University of Kansas organized the Kansas Alpha chapter, the first chapter to be organized west of the Mississippi river. Eighty persons on the faculty are members of the Kansas Alpha chapter.

and Samher Bala. Those persons elected in the fall and initiated in March are Beverly Waters, Mary Morrill, Jean Kaufmann, Muriel Stember and Wendell Nickell.
Officers of the Alpha chapter are Prof. W. E. Sandelius, president; Miss Veta Lear, vice-president; Prof. L. R. Lind, treasurer; and Raymond Nichols, secretary.
Another election for Phi Beta Kappa in the Graduate school will be held at commencement time, Miss Lear said, and for other persons who were ineligible at the time of the last election.
Churchill Warns Against Use Of Palestine as Military Base
London. (UP)—Winston Churchill told commons today that British use of Palestine as a military base for defense of the Suez canal would prejudice seriously Britain's hope of "gaining the aid of the United States on the Palestine question."
Churchill gave enthusiastic approval to the recommendations of the Anglo-American commission on Palestine, but said the task of carrying out the recommendations was "too much to put on Britain single-handed."
The "ink" ejected by the octopus when it is attacked is not a "smoke-screen." The jet of "ink" forms a definitely shaped object in the water which serves as a decoy to distract the enemy's attention while the octopus changes color and darts off in another direction.
"It's all, Greek to me!"
But, that familiar lament is not a valid excuse according to L.R. Lind, professor of Latin and Greek, in his article published recently in the Classical Journal, "Toward New Frontiers in the Classics."
"I have little patience with those who insist that only a few students can profit from the study of the classics. It is absurd for anyone to study accurately such subjects as science, history, or philosophy without some knowledge of the culture tradition." Professor Lind asserts.
The general tendency is to ignore the natural correlation of the classics with English, the modern languages, history, or philosophy, he says.
The scientists are among the most ardent defenders of the classics for they realize their significance as an indispensible scientific tool, he observes.
It's a dead-letter quarrel to consider the relative merits of an exclusively scientific or classical training. Both sides recognize the need for a harmonious relationship between the two. The problem is to find a rational balance, Professor Lind explains.
"The classics have passed into a partial eclipse and stand in danger of becoming known to only a few students.
Too often the classics have been taught as a body of noble examples, and as a storehouse of lofty ideals, which has turned some students against them," he says.
In the endeavor to make real to the students, the relationship of the Greek and Roman to his family, state, and religion, Professor Lind suggested joint action with the modern languages, English, mathematics, philosophy, and science to the fullest extent permitted by the subject matter and departmental barriers.
He also suggests that all languages "be thrown into one camp."
"Fortunately many teachers of modern languages do realize the close and necessary connection between the ancient, medieval and modern phases of the study of language and literature," he commented.
Governors Urge Laws
Banning Utilities Strikes
Oklahoma City. (UP)—The national governors' conference adopted a resolution today urging the federal government and the states to enact laws banning strikes in public utilities and other industries "which might jeonardize the health and safety of the people."
This is the last day of a three-day meeting of the 38th annual governors' conference. This afternoon's meeting will be a closed session to hear B. Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief of staff, and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, chief of naval operations.

Britons Propose Memorial to U.S. Dead
Cambridge, England. (UP)—An offer to raise several buildings as a permanent memorial to American dead buried in England has been made by the East Anglian town of Bishop's Stortford.
The gift, offered in memory of "the Americans who gave their lives for the cause of peace in this war," is being considered by U.S. army officials.
The town has proposed to erect the memorial buildings in the U.S. military cemetery situated on the slopes of a hill on the outskirts of Cambridge. The cemetery, one of the largest in England, contains the bodies of more than 6,000 Americans. It was opened by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower in 1944.
In offering its gift, Bishop's Stortford asked that it be accepted in order that "the cemetery, which

Along with all the other muddle in China, a terrific black market is being conducted openly, with U.S. army goods and other scarcer commodities for sale at fantastic prices.

The Chinese youth here apparently didn't like the idea at all. (NEA Telephoto)
Soil Moisture Holds Key To Grass Crops
Washington. UP)—Agriculture department soil experts are looking forward to the day when Western cattlemen can dig a hole in the ground in the autumn and forecast accurately how many cattle or sheep their range will support the following season.
Oscar K. Barnes, of the Laramie Wyo., soil conservation research division, has reported that a six-year study of soil moisture on the Western ranges disclosed a definite relationship between fall soil moisture and the ensuing year's grass crop.
Barnes said preliminary studies begun in 1940 had indicated that the moisture in the soil in the fall had more to do with next year's grass crop than rainfall during the growing season.
In 1940, he said, soil moisture was low in the fall followed by a scanty spring rainfall. The result was a serious lack of forage during the grazing season.
During 1942-43, however, the November soil moisture was high. Despite below-average rains during the growing season, he said, forage during the grazing season ran about 759 pounds to the acre—far above average.
In 1945, rainfall during the growing season was far above average yet the grass crop dipped to a below-average 471 pounds to an acre. Barnes said the answer was that soil moisture in November, 1944, was below average.

U.S. Plans Facilities On Pacific islands, iceland
Washington. (UP)—The U.S. joint chiefs of staff plan for postwar American bases calls only for rights to use facilities on the Australian mandated island of Manus and Brit-ish islands in the Pacific, it was learned today.
American plans for Iceland call for "joint use" with Iceland of military facilities there. But as Iceland has never had an army or navy it would amount to a U.S. base, maintained and garrisoned by Americans.
American officials deny that negotiations have started with Denmark on the Greenland area.

Limiting Sovereignty May End War--Gibson
National sovereignty must be limited if its existence is not compatible with the elimination of war, Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and sociology, declares in a recent bulletin of the bureau of Government Research.
"The scientists may be new to politics, but they are not naive," Prof. Gibson states.
"They realize that a world state cannot come into being full blown, at least not at this juncture of world history. However, we must proceed, they insist, to the solution of the most immediate problem—the internationalization of the control of atomic energy."
The bulletin, entitled "Your Government" is a summary of a series of Atomic Energy conferences which were held in eight Kansas towns and cities between April 1 and April 10, sponsored by the University. Organized by Professor Gibson and the extension division, the conferences featured nationally known atomic scientists as discussion leaders.
Whether or not this epoch which atomic energy is ushering in will be one of ruin or progress depends on the use to which atomic energy is put by the people who now possess it, the citizens of the United States, Professor Gibson writes.
The philosophy of the American Federation of Scientists on atomic energy, as reported in the bulletin, is: "There is no secret. There is no defense. There must be international control."
"Until such international authority is created, there remains the vexing problem of civilian versus military control of atomic energy in the United States. The scientists would remove the control of atomic energy from the War department and place it in the hands of a civilian commission," Professor Gibson asserts.

SPORTS
Bv BOB BONEBRAKE
By the time K.U. sports fans return to the Hill next fall, they'll find a new, eight-lane bowling alley awaiting their pleasure at the corner of Ninth and Mississippi streets. This is a completely commercial venture, naturally, but that shouldn't keep us from having some University leagues in this sport.
All of which just goes to prove one thing—the K.U. student is interested in recreation, and when it comes to that, some sport is a good provider.
The Kansas City Blues have broken the spell of the past few years and are now out of the cellar of the American Association baseball league.
Before the war, the Blues boasted a championship club, but the war pulled all of the winning material to the bigger leagues, and left the Blues with next to nothing.
A return of many of the old stars has strengthened the Kansas City outfit, and now it is pushing a top division berth.
In case you, too, were wondering about whether the way Ray Evans pitches in the intramural softball league, the K.U. coaching staff has declared it's completely legal.
Incidentally, there should be more fast balls-hurled in this afternoon's game between PT-7 and the Phi Delt's than in any other this year.
The legality question came up because Evans produces such terrific speed that many of his opponents didn't believe he possibly could do it legally.
A demonstration before the coaches was arranged, and now Ray has the official OK.
The two teams are meeting for the championship, and Loren Burch, navy pitcher, can throw 'em just about as hard as Ray. The two will oppose each other from the mound, and the batter who gets any kind of a hit for either side is going to have to be good.

Those two tennis toppers, Roy Shafg and Bob Groom, will be the first KU. men to enter the national intercollegiate tournament since the days of Len Prosser and Junior Coen. 15 years ago.
Prosser and Coen reached the semi-finals of the national play in 1931, the year they and the University team were riding high. Since then, each has gone on to win the Kansas City and sectional tournaments.
How far will Shoaf and Groom get? That depends on many factors. One of the more encouraging viewpoints is that now Segura and his doubles partner are no longer eligible for the intercollegiates (having used up all their eligibility), the field is wide open for someone else to step in.
Indianapolis, Ind: (UP) -George Robson, of Los Angeles, a slender little guy who never before had been able to collect a dime from automobile racing's richest event, went on the gold standard today as the result of his victory in the 30th renewal of the 500-mile Memorial day event at the Indianapolis Speedway.
The Jayhawkers stand little chance to come home with any championship crown, but the mere fact that they are entering will spread the name of K.U., and will give one more instance that the athletic department here is supporting all sports, not just the money-makers.
Robson Wins $43,800 In Speedway Classic
The Californian covered the 500 miles in four hours, 21 minutes and 16.71 seconds for an average speed of 114.820 miles per hour. His victory netted him first prize money of $20,000 and to that he added a lucrative $13,800 out of the lap money and approximately $10,000 in accessory and endorsement money.

John Philip Sousa Band, Galli-Curci Were First Music 'Giants' To Perform in Hoch
The John Philip Sousa band concert in 1927, a highlight of the University's 43-year-old concert course, was the first musical event to take place in Hoch auditorium.
Sousa played in Hoch two weeks before it was formally dedicated with a concert by Amelita Galli-Curci, Metropolitan coloratura soprano.
The concert course grew out of a May festival organized in 1903 by Charles Sanford Skilton, dean of the School of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1915. During this time, it was held in Fraser theater.
When Harold Butler became dean in 1915, the concert were given on the second floor of Robinson gymnasium. By using the semi-balcony, about 1500 persons could be seated. Well-known artists, but not the "giants" of the music world, were asked to appear, Dean D. M. Swart-out said. When Hoch auditorium was built, international artists could be considered for the concerts.
Such famous artists were the violinists Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman, and Albert Spalding. Pianists on the concert course have included Artur Rubinstein, Alec Templeton, Ignace Paderewski, José Hofman, and Serge R赅manoff.
Ernestine Schumann-Heink John McCormack, John Charles Ponsle, Gladys Swarthout, Rosa Ponselle, Marian Anderson, Lauritz Melchior, and James Melton are among the famous singers who have appeared on the concert course.
Concert artist fees today are between $800 and $4,000, Dean Swarthout said. The most expensive are coloratura sopranos, then violinists

'Le Secret,' 'Baba-Yaga,' 'Primitive Ritual,' Spanish Gypsy' Highlight Tau Sigma Recital
Tau Sigma, honorary interpretive and modern dance sorority, presented its first recital since 1941, to a near capacity audience in Fraser theater Wednesday night.
By VERA STROBEL (Daily Kansas Staff Writer)
Open 7 to 12 p.m.
11th and Haskell
Jane Johnson, College sophomore, was the hit of the program in her solo "Spanish Gypsy." The audience saw her solo again with the chorus in "Le Secret," an interpretation of a girl trying to keep her engagement a secret from her friends.
The program consisted of a mixture of classical dances and light dances. "Fantastic Dances" told of a peasant girl caught in an air raid. Gloria Smith was soloist. "Primitiveittual," a dance accompanied by drums, marimbas, and the clapping of hands told a weird story of native worship. Imogen Billings sang the "Nicean Creed." Movement patterns depicting the words were done by Rosemary Hall, Eloise Hodgson, and Joan Power. The "Golliwogg's Cake-Walk was a duet by Miss Smith and Alice Ackerman. "Sentinelal Journey," a jitter-bug number told a story of a train's arrival and the happiness of the group boarding it.
Perhaps one of the more popular numbers of the night's entertainment was the Cowboy Ballad, an interpretation of a cowboy's daily activities. The chorus sang "Home on the Range" by the campfire, spun ropes, and rolled cigarettes. Loretta Phillips interpreted a rider being thrown by a bucking bronco.
A more serious dance Baba-Yaga was a Russian legend of witches who lwelt in a hut and collected human ones scattering ehm as they soured through the night.
Other members of the chorus were Mary Alford, Patricia Barron, Mary Daugherty, Patricia Elledge, Jo Ellen Hall, Mittimaude Hunter, Glenda Luehring, Beverly Mendenhall, Mary Moore, Shirley Oelschlaeger, Libby Prentice, Marilyn Steinert, Barbara Varner, and Georgia West-moreland.
Violet Conard, Lucile Land, Joan Lippelmann, and Jane Topping were in charge of properties. Dressers were Ina Crabtree, Geneva Laman, Vonnie Lee, and Phyllis Smith. Usheres were Jeanne Cooper, Helen Kaiser, Pearl Leigh, and Donna Mueller.
Faculty sponsor was Gloria M. Smith, instructor of physical education. Accompanists were Margaret Merrifield, pianist and Frankie Holland accordianist. Choreography was done by Loretta Phillips and Miss Smith.
