Rock Chalk Action Defeated As ASC Decides Four Bills
A bill proposing the sponsorship of the Rock Chalk Revue be switched from the YMCA to the All Student Council was defeated by a large majority in an ASC session last night.
The group took action on four proposed bills which came before it for second reading and final action.
The Council was in an uncharacteristically cooperative mood and the bulk of the business was decided by substantial margins.
The much-publicized Rock Chalk revue bill was defeated by an overwhelming majority.
A hill to establish a "little Hoover commission" to study reorganization of the administrative branch of student government passed without a single dissenting vote.
A bill to establish a permanent labor committee was passed with only three Pachacamac members of the Council voting against the measure.
The Council passed an amendment to the ASC bill on procedure which would do away with the chancellor's option of allowing a bill to become law by not submitting a message of veto within the two-week period provided. It would require that he
A companion measure to alter the procedure for requesting a referendum on measures passed by the Council, was defeated.
The measures which were passed last night must now be presented to the chancellor for his approval on behalf of the Board of Regents. According to the present bill on procedure, he may sign or veto each bill submitted, or he may allow it to become law by taking no action within the specified two-week time limit.

Total Vote Tops Previous Record
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower won the Daily Kansan sponsored presidential preferential election yesterday, polling 1,552 votes to 747 for Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson in a record vote.
The total of 2,299 valid votes topped all previous marks for such an election or comparable poll on the campus.
Sen. Richard Nixon scored an even greater victory for the vice presidency drawing 1,566 votes to 733 for Democratic candidate Sen. John J. Sparkman.
Representatives of the Daily Kansas, the KU Young Republicans and Democrats, and Alpha Phi Omega, scouting service fraternity, worked at the polls. The counting was supervised by James W. Drury, associate professor of political science.
Of greatest importance was the vote cast by persons over 21 years old. Here the balloting was much closer with Gen. Eisenhower drawing 525 votes to 360 for Gov. Stevenson. Those under voting age gave
The 67 per cent backing for the Republican nominee fell right in line with previous student action in the elections of 1944 and 1948. In 1944, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey polled 63 per cent of the vote while in 1948 he received 66 per cent.

Woody Herman's Band To Appear Here Tonight
New stars and old favorites in the entertainment world will be presented in Hoch auditorium tonight when Woody Herman's Caravan of Stars appears here.
Arrest of three members of the Herman band on a narcotics charge will not affect the concert.
Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said the men, arrested Monday by Salt Lake City narcotics officers, were not "key" members of the band. They were released on $1,000 bond and allowed to continue the tour.
The new band, Mr. Herman's third organized band, will present many special acts to make the caravan one of the biggest and best shows to appear in recent years.
The quartet became popular when Duke Ellington heard them sing and took them to New York. They made their first big hit on the CBS radio network and later in the recording business.
The Mills Brothers will be one of the best-known features of the evening. The quartet, which will be 23 years old this fall, has long been known for their recordings of such popular songs as "Tiger Rag," "Lazy River," "Paper Doll," "Till Then," and many others.
Their first record "Tiger Rag" was the first record to sell over a million copies. Since that time they have
become one of the best selling teams in show business.
Another old favorite is Dinah Washington, "The Queen of the Blues." She began her professional singing career in a Chicago theater at the age of 15.
From there she went to sing for Lionel Hampton, and her career was well on the way to success. Since then she has been lauded as "the finest female blues singer since Bessie Smith."
Some of her most popular records have been "Evil Gal Blues," "Homeward Bound," and "I Know How to Do It."
Perhaps one of the least known acts to appear tonight will be Lou Dailey "Mr. Everybody." He is one of the latest additions to the caravan.
Mr. Dailey was working in Montreal when he was signed to travel with Woody Herman. He is from Philadelphia and gained his first-stage experience while in the Army.
In the Army he toured the Pacific doing shows for the Army Special services. Some of his most famous impersonations include Robert Mitchum, Johnnie Ray, Jerry Lewis, and Bette Davis.
'The Morning Star' Opens Tonight
CORNELIA HARRINGTON
After eight weeks of technical preparation and four weeks of rehearsals, the re-organized University Theater under its new director, Dr. John Newfield, will open at 8:30 tonight in Fraser theater with Henry C. Haskell's play, "The Morning Star."
Technical improvements such as a new stage rigging system, new switch board, new lighting of auditorium and stage, and the fully equipped Theater Workshop will make more rapid and efficient scene-shifting for this year's productions.
The first of this year's productions is a medieval story of Abelard and Heloise which takes place in 12-13th century Paris. The play is divided into eight rapidly moving scenes. There will be two short intermissions throughout the play.
The cast for the play consists of 29 faculty members and students
