"NIGHT TRAIN"—Members of the Ralph at the KU Homecoming Dance Saturday. Marterie orchestra tune up for their appearance
SUA Group Lauds Homecoming Dance
The Homecoming Dance this Saturday is being lauded by its perpetrators as the best to date.
According to David White, Prairie Village sophomore, publicity chairman for the group, and Robert Swan, Topeka sophomore, general chairman of the SUA dance committee, the dance will offer more this year than has ever been offered in years past. They point to the following:
Two bands, one operating in the ballroom, the other in the cafeteria of the Kansas Union.
Four entrances to the dance, to aid in avoiding congestion.
at no charge and refreshment delivery provided.
Private rooms available for groups
The highlight of the night will be the nationally-known orchestra of Ralph Marterie. The Marterie band has been chosen as the number one college favorite in both Down Beat and Cash Box magazines. In addition, the band has had more hit records than any other group. It will be in the Union Ballroom.
Another band from Kansas City, will provide music and entertainment in the cafeteria.
The dance is scheduled from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Saturday with closing hours extended until 1:30 a.m. Tickets are available at $2.50 per couple.
Education Research Council Plans Study of Crucial Issues
The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
The interdisciplinary approach will be used in the conferences, Dean Anderson said. So that they can contribute their unique specialties to the reinforcement of educational research, conferees will come from such fields as sociology, statistics, and many other academic areas outside of education.
Judge Elmo Hunter of the Kansas City, Mo., Court of Appeals will be guest speaker at the Nov. 14 meeting of the KU Chancery Club.
Dean Anderson said the proceedings of the conference would be published.
The Council for Research in Education, a coordinating group organized in 1960 by 20 national associations, will seek financing from philanthropic foundations. The decision was reached at a two-day meeting of the directors last week in Washington, D.C.
Judge Will Speak to Law Club
A coffee and grill session will follow the meeting. All interested prelaw students are invited to attend.
The Council for Research in Education, of which Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, is chairman, is planning a series of conferences on the crucial issues in American education most in need of research.
No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. —Booker T. Washington
"We hope these proceedings can be a catalytic agent to stir up the educational world to focus better its research efforts on the significant problems that bar the American educational system from greatness." Dean Anderson explained.
PARIS — (UPI) — Paris' first American-style "key club" has announced it will try to impose the Chicago no-pinching rule on the Frenchman. Frankly, the odds are not good.
They will dance on customers' tables, cast languid glances, laugh, smile, caijole, and—in what will seem an outrageous breach of logic to the Frenchman—discourage all pinching.
Burton Browne, who opened his "Gaslight" club Saturday night, is adamant about this point. They can look all they want, he said, but they must observe the American rules on pinching: don't.
Between us, "Millie" is not the perfect American model—she's eminently more pinchable. The five other imported girls, including three Americans, a Briton and a Canadian, have the same qualifications.
THE CLUB'S DECOR will follow the American style throughout.
HIS HOSTESS, "MILLIE," described as "a perfect American model from Chicago," said there would be "no pinching" signs up all over the club, located off the Avenue Des Champs-Elysees.
"We imported typical American girls and wild west and roaring twenties atmosphere because we believe Frenchmen will like them as much as true Americans do," Browne said.
Paris Club Wants No-Pinching Rule
And at least one of the girls, green-eyed Robin Fitzgerald of Chicago, is all ready to prove it.
"I would love to meet Frenchmen," she said, adding, with a glance at Browne "although I understand I will have to do this out of the club."
BROWNE SAID 110 U.S. "Gaslight Club" customers have flown over to introduce Frenchmen to the secret door key and the delights within on Saturday night.
Then, the best guess is, the Frenchmen will show the Americans that there's nothing more against human nature than a stifled pinch.

This type of English proficiency examination has been given for the past three years.
Two hundred and eighty-five English proficiency examination papers have been questioned or failed on the first reading, according to James E. Seaver, associate professor of Western Civilization and chairman of the committee in charge of the English proficiency examination.
On Oct. 12 approximately 930 students took the examination. The students were given two hours to write a theme on one of 18 different topics. Of these 930 students, 285 have not passed on the first reading.
The second group of papers has been given to the graders, Prof. Seaver said. Since each grader only has about five papers to grade, the exams should be completely graded by this weekend or early next week.
cent of the students did not pass the examination. However, the percentage of failures usually runs between 30 and 40 per cent.
LONDON — (UPI) — Pop Singer Don Fox, who became chairman of a "marriage without sex," society last weekend, resigned yesterday when his wife told him she was expecting a baby.
No Sex Chairman Resigns
Even though this particular examination had more topics than the others, Prof. Seaver said he expects the same ratio of students passing and failing.
