Organized House Voting Looms On AWS Rules
Three changes in the AWS constitution will be voted on early next week in all women's organized houses. The amendments have passed the AWS Senate and House, and will be enacted if they receive a favorable vote from the women students.
Amendments are (1) that the runner-up for president of the AWS be chairman of the judiciary board. Under the present ruling, the president is chairman of the board.
(2) That the eligibility grade requirement for members of the House of Representatives be a 1. average rather than 60 per cent "C" which is required now.
(3) That the runner-up for AWS vice president be chairman of the standing committee rather than chairman of the elections commit-tee.
Women students will vote on the changes at a special house meeting to be conducted by the AWS representative in each organized house.

Roads Passable; Snowing to End With More Cold
Travel on Kansas highways is being discouraged by the Highwav Patrol today and tonight. Most of the state's roads are passable but some have become blocked.
U. S. Highway 81, between Newton and Wichita, has been closed due to ice and drifting snow. Roads in the northwest part of the state have been closed. The roads from Lawrence to Topeka and Kansas City are passable, but they are covered by packed snow and ice, according to the Highway Patrol.
One area accident occurred at about 10:15 am. today when a car overturned on Highway 50N, east of Baldwin. No information was available at the time on the people involved.
The snow in this area is expected to end sometime this afternoon or early evening. Only two inches has fallen so far although some drifts are about 2-3 feet deep.
A minor accident occurred in Lawrence this morning at 1628 Illinois st., when a car slid into a parked car. Very little damage was reported.
Temperatures are expected to be much colder tonight with some areas in Kansas expected to have zero temperatures. Clearing skies are forecast with new and colder winds moving into the area tonight and tomorrow.
Over the nation, a pounding Niagara river ice jam, the worst in 46 years, and the flood crest of Mississippi's Tombigbee river, were both a product of a series of spring storms across the country.
On the wind-swept Niagara river, the ice was packed 30 feet deep in some spots and was 55 feet high under the 75-foot high Lewiston suspension bridge. It was rising a foot-and-a-half every hour under the bridge.
The same storm pattern, only in the south, had sent the biggest flood crest in half a century rolling down on Columbus, Miss.- The raging river had already driven 1,200 persons from their homes and threatened today to force the evacuation of 1,200 more.
Spring Continues on Mt. Oread-

THE POOR FELLOW who continually is plagued by phobias doesn't have a chance in Kansas—at least not on these snowy spring days. There is always the chance that more sensitive Kansans may fall victim to chionophbia, which—to those who have a psychiatric dictionary handy—is fear of snow. More than likely, those twisted into chionophbia will be few, in Florida, or hiding in a greenhouse, so chionophbia probably will not have too great a tell. But if there is a word—and there probably is—for hate of snow, you can bet your last snowflake that most of us have it.

Paganini Quartet to Give Concert in Strong Monday
The Paganini quartet will be heard at 8 p.m. Monday in Strong auditorium as the final attraction of this season's Chamber Music series.
Members of the quartet are Henri Teminka, violin; Gustave Rosseels, violin; Charles Foidart, viola; and Lucien Laporte, cello.
Their instruments were made more than two hundred years ago by Stradivarius, and have been re-assembled a century following Paganini's death. These instruments were the most cherished possessions of the virtuoso, Nicole Paganini and it is from his name that the quartet takes its name.
The program includes quartets by Debussy, Mozart, and Alberto Ginastera.
Violinist Henri Temianka, who was born in Scotland of Polish parents, studied and lived in Belgium, the native land of his three colleagues. He has made solo appearances with orchestras performed sonata literature, given lectures, written articles for magazines including the Reader's Digest, This Week, and Etude, and has had his own chamber orchestra.
Gustave Rossele has played in quartets since 1933, giving concerts in Czechoslovakia, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, and Germany before the war. After the war, he taught at the Royal conservatory in Brussels. In October, 1944, he gave the Brussels premiere of the violin concerto by Chevreulville, who has been called the greatest living Belgian composer.
Charles Foidart studied at the Royal conservatory in Brussels and later became professor of viola at the same institution. Before joining the Paganini quartet, he played with the Belgian String quartet and the Monte Carlo String quartet.
Lucien Laporte received his training and experience both in Europe and in America. In France he was awarded a first prize at the Conservatoire National de Paris. Walter Damrosch heard this performance and brought him to America as cello soloist with the New York Symphony orchestra.
