The University Extension bureau of institutes and conferences, which regularly schedules large conferences such as Girls' State during the summer months, is working on arrangements to handle the meetings on a limited basis.
All basic and annual summer conferences are being scheduled, E.A. McFarland, director of the bureau said, but because of the construction no new institutes are being added.

Shaw Chorale To Give Concert
Robert Shaw has an impressive history of past achievements, although he is only in his early thirties.
From 1938 until he entered the Navy in 1945, he directed the Fred Waring Glee club, which meant rehearsing and preparing repertoire for five shows a week.
The Robert Shaw chorale will present a concert in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4. Tickets are available in the Fine Arts office.
He organized a mixed chorus, the Chapel choir, which sang sacred music for radio broadcasts and public performances in New York. The small group grew larger until it became a full-time project, with concerts at nearly all of the leading music halls.
While juggling these two assignments, Shaw also found time to prepare choruses for the Aquacades at the New York and San Francisco exposition, and for Broadway shows, including "Carmen Jones," "Laughing Room Only" and "The Seven Lively Arts."
In 1948 he was appointed choral director for the Berkshire Music festival at Tanglewood, Mass. He is also head of the choral department of the Julliard School of Music.
Libraries To Close Saturday
35,000 Expected To View Final Game
Watson and Lindley libraries will be closed at 12:30 p.m. Saturday for the Homecoming game. This will give student assistants at the library a chance to see the game.
The Homecoming weekend was officially opened at the Doc "Yak" student pep rally this morning.
A crowd of 35,000 spectators is expected for the Missouri-Kansas 60th annual football game. If the weather is agreeable the number may be boosted
Injured Tigers Will Be Out To Upset KU
Bv CHARLES BURCH
An injury-ridden but fighting bunch of Missouri Tigers will be out to upset the well-balanced Jayhawkers at the Homecoming game tomorrow.
While Kansas is near top physical condition Missouri is having backfield trouble, especially at quarterback.
MU's Vic Eaton, one of their three leading freshman passers, won't see any action in tomorrow's game. He has taken a turn for the worse following an attack of glandular fever. Junior guard Palmer Glarkson and freshman halfback Jack Fox are also out with injuries.
Tony Scardino, sparkplug of Mizzou's aerial attack which is being heavily relied upon, has an injured ankle and may see only limited action.
Both Eaton and Scardino are cogs in MU's spread formation as well as in Faurot's famed split-T.
Seven of the Missourians and Kansans will finish their college gridiron careers. MU's Junior Wren, however, will be watching from the bench with a fractured wrist.
Coach J. V. Sikes can call on his entire squad for action with the exception of Don Mudloff, tackle, and George Michale, end. Both are freshmen reserves.
Co-captain and end Bill Schaake is still in a weakened condition from an attack of glandular fever but will see at least limited action.
It wouldn't take too much rugged action, however, to change KU's backfield. Bob Brandeberry, Bud Laughlin and Charlie Hoag are still on the mend. Brandeberry's ankle is still causing him trouble. Hoag's injured groin muscle, which has kept the speedster benched much of the season, apparently has relented enough for him to return to action
After a brief practice session today the team will go to Topeka to spend the night to avoid the pre-game excitement of Homecoming. They will return Saturday morning.
Schmidt To Be Soloist
Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, will be guest soloist in the University of Illinois production of Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" Sunday.
Appearing with Professor Schmidt will be Dorothy Bowen, Dorothy Clark, and LeRoy Hamp, all of the Illinois music faculty, and a 140 voice oratorio society. They will be accompanied by an orchestra of 50 members.
Edward F. Arm, governor of Kansas, and Forrest Smith, governor of Missouri, will be among the guests attending the game. They will be the guests of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and Mrs. Murphy.
Other guests include Andrew Schoeppel, senator from Kansas; James T. Blair, lieutenant governor of Missouri; Errett P. Serriwner, representative from the second Kansas district; Ennis Whitehead, former chief of the air defense command; and the University board of regents.
Chancellor Murphy and Governor Arn will participate in the presentation of the Homecoming queen and her attendants during the half-time of the game.
The three queen finalists are Jeannine Neihart, education senior; Mary Ream, College sophomore; and Janice Brown, fine arts freshman. The queen's identity will be disclosed at the Jayhawk follies tonight following the Varsity - freshman basketball game.
The Jayhawk Follies will be presented by 30 members of the KuKu and Jay Jane pep organizations under the direction of Don Dixon, assistant professor of speech. The Follies will be presented in Hoch auditorium immediately after the Varsity-freshman basketball game which will start at 7 p.m. today. Admission price for the game will be 50 cents.
The traditional "burning of the tiger" pep rally will be held following the Fellies.
The escorts chosen to accompany the queen and attendants to the Homecoming events are John Riederer, fine arts junior, representing the K club; Robert Ausherman, education senior, representing the KU band; and Charles Garney, business junior, representing the KuKu-pep club.
The 98-member Missouri band will parade down Massachusetts street at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. The 100-member KU band will perform with the Missouri band at the football game.
The Homecoming dance climaxing Homecoming activities will be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Union ballroom. Music for the dance will be furnished by Gene Hall and his orchestra. Admission will be.50 cents a person.
The queen will reign at the dance and intermission entertainment is being planned by a committee of the Student Union activities.
Alumni registration will begin at 4:30 p.m. today in the Union and continue through noon Saturday morning. There will be an open house for students and friends in the Union lounge immediately following the gale.
Three carillon recitals will be presented by Ronald Barnes, University carillonneur, during the weekend. The recitals will be heard at 6:30 p.m. today, 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday.
