Clerks' Schoo To Be Held In January
Dates for the third annual County Clerks' school at the University will be January 16-17, it was announced today by Dr. Ethan P. Allen, director of the KU Bureau of Government Research.
The dates and program topics were determined by a committee from the County Clerks' association meeting with members of the University bureau. The school has been set for the two days immediately following the assessment school conducted by the state commission of revenue and taxation in Topeka.
The election laws, relationship between clerkes and other county officials, public speaking, budgeting and finance, and office supervision will be the subjects on the program. The faculty will be drawn from the University staff and outstanding off-campus authorities, Dr. Allen said.
Dr. Ernest Scharrer, an anatomist from the University of Colorado, will deliver a public lecture Thursday at the University, speaking on "The Brain's Blood Supply."
He will address a dinner meeting of the medical seminar on "Neuro-Secretions" that evening in the Union.
Colorado Doctor To Lecture Here
Dr. Scharrier recently discovered that certain secretions, long thought by anatomists to be passed from the nervous portion of the pituitary gland do, in reality, come from nearby brain cells.
Dr. Scharrer, who holds both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Freiburg, Germany, will lecture in Strong auditorium at 11 am.
The speaker will be the guest of Dr. Paul Roofe, head of the KU anatomy department, and Mrs. Roofe for a 3-day stay here.
Engineers Hear Dr. John Ise
Struggle of the world's lower income groups for a better life is one of the reasons for the present world unrest, Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, said at a recent initiation banquet of Pi Tau Sigma, national honorary mechanical engineering fraternity.
He said that upsurge of minority groups everywhere and a universal revolt against all imperialism are additional reasons for world unrest.
During the evening Charles Stephens, George Christopher, Paul Randall, Anthony Tiliacos, all engineering seniors, and Donald Creighton and Arthur Holmberg, engineering juniors, were honored as new members of the organization.

He said a realistic view recognizing the causes of the world trouble and support of real democracies abroad were the answers to the problem.
"Suppression of world insurgence force is an impossible solution." By ars.
"We should not support reactionary or fascist governments simply because they promise to fight communism," Dr. Ise said.
Bull Session Held Weekly At Union
An informal "bull" session which gives students an opportunity to meet other students, let off steam, or just ask questions in general meets at 7 p.m. every Saturday in the Music room of the Union.
There are no set topics, students may leave at any time or discuss any subject they desire. Several foreign students recently discussed the degree of conformity in American universities compared with that of European universities. Other topics which have been "aired" are MacArthur's dismissal and Greeks vs. Independents.

Panmunjom, Korea—(U.P.) —The Communists rejected today a United Nations proposal for a man-for-man exchange of war prisoners during a Korean armistice.

Kansas Railroads Seek Rate Increase
The Reds at the same time took back an offer made only a few
hours earlier to permit the American troop rotation program to continue if the Allies agreed to "neutral" policing of the Armistice.
Topeka, Kan.-A request for a general six per cent increase in interstate freight rates by railroads operating in Kansas was under consideration today by the Kansas Corporation commission.
