Campus Chest Slogan Selected
"The money you give will make nine live" has been selected by the Campus Chest slogan committee as the slogan for the Campus Chest drive to begin Nov. 11.
The nine refers to the number of organizations the Chest is supporting.
A plaque will be given to the organized house giving the largest amount per person, Richard Smith, college junior, announced today.

The English department is sponsoring a library orientation tour to acquaint students with the use of the library, the resources there, and the materials available. We began Monday, Nov. 2, and will continue through Thursday, Nov. 11.
Members of the slogan committee were Norma Lou Falletta, college senior, Diane Foltz, pharmacy senior, Fred Heath, college sophomore, and Hubert Dye, college senior.
Ninety-five sections of freshmen English are visiting the education department, the reference room, the circulation department and card catalog, the periodical department, and the undergraduate library.
The library orientation plan has been divided into three parts this year. The first part consists of class discussion of the library in general. Literature used is the "Reader's Guide" and a floor plan of the Watkins memorial library. The second part consists of instruction and the third part consists of an assigned exercise to consult some library media.
Explanations of the particular library departments visited in this tour will be given by library staff members on their own specialty. Albert Kitzhah, assistant professor of English, said he considered this plan a "service function." He con- dicated that everyone has to do it. This is the only department that has the students at one itme." He consider it as not only a benefit to the English department, but to all other departments.
Panel Scheduled On Segregation
The movement on the campus to revive the issue of race discrimina-
ron in Lawrence will receive another salvo tonight when the Sociology club stages an open panel discussion on racial discrimination in the KU area. The meeting will be held in 12 Strong-E, at 7:30 p.m.

Bramble, pastor of the Lawrence Methodist church; L. H. Houston, businessman and manager of the Bell Music store, and Dr. Charles K. Warriner, assistant professor of sociology and human relations.

Mexican Government Offers StudyGrantstoU.S.Students
The Mexican government, through the Mexican-United States commission on cultural cooperation, is offering 17 grants to U.S. students for study in Mexico during the academic year beginning March 1, 1954.
The deadline date for the scholarships has been extended to Nov. 15 and all applications, with all supporting documents, must be filed not later than this date.
A Japanese print, "The Wave," has been selected by the Museum of Art as the master work for the month of November and is now on display. Dr. Klaus Berger, chairman of the history of art department, said today.
Japanese Art Best of Month
"Japan was not opened to trade with the western world until the 1860s, so it was not until then that the rest of the world had a chance to study Japanese art," he said.
Eleven scholarships are for graduate level students and pay tuition and 800 pesos, about $164, a month. Six undergraduate scholarships are also offered. Preference will be given to junior and senior students in the awarding of undergraduate scholarships.
"The Japanese painting is being hown because of the influence of similar Japanese art on American artists such as James Whistler," Dr. Berger said.

All applicants must be prepared to begin their studies by the first of March, 1954. Candidates under 35 years of age will be given preference.

Blind Foundation Benefits From Chest Campaign
For Quality Photography...
STUDIO Call 151
Bv ELIZABETH WOHLGEMUTH
There are 14 million blind people in the world—and the greatest majority of them live in the Far Orient and Near East, according to a recent report by the American Foundation for the Overseas Blind.
Editor's note—Fourth in a series of articles explaining organizations receiving benefits from the Campus Chest drive.
The foundation will receive 20 per cent of the Campus Chest funds.
Miss Helen Keller, international relations counselor for the foundation, who recently returned from a trip to the Near East, said, "In all my travels through Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, I found only two or three good schools and organizations for the blind. These shining lights in a vast sea of ignorance and social degradation require constant vigilance to keep them burning."
Blind children in foreign lands are growing up helpless and unattug. Adequate facilities for their care and education are needed or they will be condemned to live as beggars. They need special schooling to gain the normal child's knowledge and acquire skills that will enable them to become self-supporting men and women.
To equip these schools braille writers, embossed maps, braille plants for printing test books, and special tools for vocational training are needed, the society reports.
"For centuries blind people in the Near East have existed as beggars, shrunned by society and excluded from normal family and community activity. The children cannot hope to conquer blindness or overcome ignorance and poverty without our aid," Miss Keller said.
Ancient Rome built a road system that stretched from northern Scotland to the Euphrates river in Asia Minor, the National Geographic
Society says. Parts of it are still in use.
