both colored and both residents of Champaign. have been ordered to report in Chicago for induction into the armed forces, the Champaign-Urbana selective service board anpounced Friday Dr: F. L. Will Is Guggenheim Award Winner Dr. Frederick L.

Will, assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Illinois, has been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim memorial fellowship for 1945-46, it was announced today. The fellowships, awarded annually to approximately 50 persons, are for research and for creative work in the fine arts, including music. Research in the theory of knowledge, with special reference to the problems of empiricism, will be conducted by Dr. Will, beginning Sept. 1, 1945, under his fellowship.

DR. F. L. WILL He will spend his time studying and writing on the project and will consult with scholars at other universities when it is desirable to his work. Professor Will's research will be concerned mainly with certain fundamental problems dealing with the validity of scientific methods.

If he finds it necessary to leave Champaign-Urbana for any extended period, he will be accompanied by Mrs. Will and their two children, Katherine, age six, and George, age four. Here Since 1938 A native of Pittsburgh, Dr. Will received the bachelor of arts degree from Thiel college, Greenville, in 1929 and did graduate work at Ohio State university, receiving the M.A. degree from institution in 1931, and at Cornell university where he took his doctorate in 1937.

While at Cornell, Dr. Will was a Susan Linn Sage scholar in philosophy from 1934 to 1936, a Susan Linn Sage fellow in 1936 and he served as part-time instructor in philosophy in 1937. Prior to studying at Cornell, Dr. Will served as an assistant in the department of education of Ohio State university and taught in the Uhrichsville, Ohio, high school for one year. Professor Will joined the philosophy department staff of the University of Illinois as an instructor in 1938 and was appointed an assistant professor of philosophy in 1941.

Reward "Unusual Capacity" The statement from the Guggenheim foundation of New York, in announcing the fellowship, said: "The fellowships are intended for men and women of high intellectual personal qualifications who have already demonstrated unusual capacity from productive scholarship or unusual creative ability in the fine arts." In explaining the topic of his project, Dr. Will said today: "The theory of knowledge that branch of philosophy which is concerned with the nature, criteria, and ways, of attaining genuine knowledge. is concerned with questions about meaning, logical validity, truth and error, and therefore embraces, among others, the field of logic and the study of scientific method. "Empiricism' is a term used broadly to refer to the point of view in philosophy which emphasizes the fundamental role of experience or sense observation in the process of securing knowledge about the world." Two other of Illinois faculty members had been University, honored with Guggenheim fellowships, Dr. Raymond E.

Criet, formerly of the department of geography, received a fellowship for 1940-41. Studies of the human geography of the Venezlean Andes and the grasslands of the Orinoco river basin were conducted by Dr. Crist in South America. At the present time, Dr. G.

Reading cers are, reading from the left, 'Anything Goes' Sprightly Show By DOROTHY COHEN Extremely diverting though somewhat unpolished, the Illini Union's Saturday night presentation of the musical comedy, "Anything Goes," offered something different in entertainment for University of Illinois circles and Champaign-Urbana townspeople. Stirred on by the able direction of Mrs. Olive Goldman, the cast as a whole. more so than any individual performer, is deservling of praise for its untiring effort to accomplish as difficult a task as a musical production. The performance was well-received by a near capacity audience.

patient despite poor acoustics and occasional back-stage hubbubs. With action set aboard the S. S. Illini, bound for Europe at the end of World War II, the plot revolves about various characters on the ship. Hope Harcourt, portrayed by Lynn Hannah, and her fiance, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, an English diplomat played by Jerry Mendelson; Billy Crocker, a World War II veteran played by Jack Lanagan; Reno Sweeney portrayed by Meyers and her troupe of dancers, The Angles, on their way to entertain the Army of Occupation; the Rev.

Dr. Moon, a ganster in disguise, done by V-12 trainee Rudolph Bukovsky; Bishop Dodsonportrayed by Jim Griswold, and his three Siamese. converts, and many more. Colorful costumes and attractive scenery played a vital part in the presentation as well. Lending a cheerful atmosphere to the university auditorium was the cast's performance of such Cole Porter compositions as "All Thru The Night," "I Get A Kick Out of You." "You're The Top," and the title song, "Anything Goes," to the music of Mendel Riley and orchestra.

Most worthy praise perhaps was an interlude between scenes, an impressive Siamese dance by talented Carmie McKemi and Glenn Craft. Another added feature was Sydney Rushakoff's performance of the title song, as well as "the confession scene" in the second act when the entire cast, led by Reno Sweeney, confess their sins, climlaxed by Ralph Hines singing "Blow, Gabriel, Blow." In addition to The Angels, a ballet and a tap chorus and a vocal chorus of students, both civilians and naval trainees, participate in the course of events. A second performance of "Anything Goes," will be presented at 8 p. m. Saturday in the university auditorium.

Treasury Cites Prof. Fletcher Stanley Fletcher, University of Illinois assistant professor of music, who presented a piano concert at 4:30 p. m. Sunday in Smith music hall, recently received the U. S.

Fletcher Gives Bach Program By WILLIAM JUDY Stanley Fletcher added a brilliant and moving reading from challenging works of Johann Sebastion Bach to his record of local achievements as a piano artist when he appeared in recital Sunday afternoon in Smith music hall. Displaying the technical excellence and spirited which Champaign-Urbana audiences have associated with his name for nearly eight years, he also gave ample evidence that his talents are being guided toward a dynamic maturity. This writer, who had not had an opportunity to hear Professor Fletcher for about two years, was impressed with these signs of growth, which through rigid selfdiscipline, are bringing the soloist a greater freedom. "Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue," the concert's climax, unfolded a succession arresting contrasts in alternation of quiet passages with crashing sonority.

Professor Fletcher handled this number, which is supposed to strain at the limitations of whatever is medium used to perform it, with much skill and strength. ability to reproduce the harpsichord character of Bach was particularly evident in the two fugues from the toccata in minor and in the "English Suite" in A minor. The intelligence and feeling with which these works were projected made them convincing reminders of the variety of appeal which capable performers can evoke in the music of Bach. Professor Fletcher opened his program with "Concert in the Italian Style," showing mastery of intricate dynamics with which the composer reproduces the effect of two instrumental choirs in contrasting lines.

The little ship stopped in a vilTag in Holland for Christmas Eve and started up toward Antwerp in the morning after the mine sweepers had gone through. "The Nazis were aiming at the supply area in Antwerp, but they didn't have a chance to get to it. Every soldier along way was armed and serious," the merchant marine engineer recalled Thursday as he visited with his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Cushing, and his stepdaughters, Betty and Merna, in their home at 206 South Cedar street. V-2s Are Worst Buzz bombs and V-2's were flying hard over Antwerp a few weeks ago, Cushing said.

"At night you could see them from the bridge and they flared up for four or five minutes at a time. They had ack ack guns set up and they were shooting down a good percentage of them. The V-25 are the worst. You don't hear anything and all of a sudden an entire block is gone. When you are in port everyone who is able pitches in on the rescue work.

"A good part of the people there speak English. They like the Americans best, but they were better fed under the Germans. For instance, they have had no butter at all for over a month. Under the Germans they got a small piece once a month. The ration system is not so closely controlled as it is here, and We figured that coal taking, around the black market is over.

$120 a ton, butter, $36 to $40 a pound and soap 50 cents a cake. The people are SO proud they could be starving, but they wouldn't ask for a Luxury Items High This pride, he recalled, contrasted with the situation in other countries from North Africa through England, Italy and Holland. "In North Africa the natives were so starved that we never had to empty our garbage pails, They took everything we had left. The English would ask for the little luxury items they thought we had. "It Italy you could trade everything.

Cigarettes were worth about $10 a carton and soap from 75 cente to $1. Sardinia was the most desolate place of the lot. It had been wrecked in about an hour and a haut and we were about the first ship in afterward. The people were so starved they ate the mouldy bread we threw out. The town of Augusta, Sicily, was blown up, but the people there seemed the healthiest of any we saw.

figured it was because an ricultural section and there were citrus fruits and nuts for them to eat." Life aboard a Liberty ship is pretty agreeable, Cushing has concluded. The food is good while it lasts and the sleeping quarters are good. It is a hard job though, and the rocking and rolling of the wartime craft is terrific slow progress through sub-infested waters and air attacks are dangerous.
