Students Like New Sour Owl
The November issue of the Sour Owl, with its emphasis on humor, was selling faster this morning than did the October issue.
Eight To Speak In Contest
---
In about two hours this morning, 416 copies were sold. This number surpasses the one-third mark of the total first-day sales of the October issue, which was about 1,200 copies.
On the whole, students questioned about the magazine seemed to like this month's issue better than the previous year. Similarly, liked the emphasis on humor.
Eight students will compete in the finals of the annual campus problems speech contest to be held at 8 p.m. Thursday in Strong auditorium.
Robert Brown, engineering junior,
said. "I like the cover; it's very true
to life. This issue is much like the
old Sour Owl, same jokes."
Harry Elliott, college freshman, said, "Much better. It's funnier this time."
Sue Hershey, College junior, said, "It's a big improvement. The old Sour Owl is back!"
Rita Speekin, education senior, said, "This issue is much more rounded than the last. The humor is funny!"
The talks will average seven minutes on any problem of general campus or student interest.
The finalists, chosen from tryouts Tuesday, are Maxine LeRow, Alfred Sim, Sam Moore, William Nulton, Otis Simmons, Lessie Hinchee, Sue Moyer and Patrick Sullivan.
Judges will be Allen Crafton, professor of speech; Richard Schiefelbusch, assistant professor of speech; and Donald Dixon, assistant professor of speech.
Donna Kempster, education senior said, "It looks more interesting than the last time."
Robert Hill, engineering junior, said, "Very similar to the Show Me that MU puts out."
Driver Education Instructor Named
J. C. Witter has been appointed as instructor in the driver education program of the University Extension.
Mr. Witter is a graduate student in education and is working on his doctor of philosophy degree. He was superintendent of the Fowler schools for six years.
The driver program now has three instructors. Two students have finished the course, 18 are taking it now and 28 will begin the course soon.
Musical Duo Is Successful But Retiring
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II are two of the most successful but most retiring men of show business.
Since 1942, they have written five hit shows and one musical film. They have produced such successes as "I Remember Mama" and "Annie Get Your Gun" as well as their own "South Pacific" and "The King and I."
Their popularity is reflected in "Rodgers and Hammerstein Nights," a musical to be presented at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Richard Rodgers first gained fame as the musical half of Rodgers and Hart, a tie-up which started while Rodgers was still a freshman at Columbia university. Together they wrote the Columbia Varsity show of 1920, and went on writing shows together until Larry Hart's death in 1943.
Oscar Hammerstein II, friend of Rodgers, had already achieved his position as the foremost of American lyric writers before joining forces with Rodgers professionally.
From the early '20s, he had worked with such composers as Jerome Kern, Sigmund Romberg, Rudolph Friml and Vincent Youmans, supplying lyrics "Rose Marie," "Sunny," "The Desert Song," and "Show Boat." He has written songs for about 50 shows.
Hammerstein had been toying with the possibility of turning Lynn Riggs' play "Green Grow the Lilacs" into a musical show when Rodgers approached him to collaborate on such a project. The result was "Oklahoma."
"Musical play" was the name they chose to describe their subsequent works, "Carousel," "Allegro," and "South Pacific."
The box office at Hoch auditorium will open at 7 p.m. today.
Under Classmen To See Advisers
College freshmen and sophomores are to see their advisers today, Thursday and Friday.
Kansas State Historical Society Topeka, Ks.
Lists of students and their advisers and their office hours are posted on the bulletin boards opposite the College office, second floor Strong.
Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, urges that all students see their advisers. He pointed out that the advisers are anxious to help the students and the whole program is set up for the benefit of the students.
Foreign Students Want To Know U.S.
Foreign students were invited to attend the meeting of the campus affairs committee Tuesday night and to present any problem that they thought should be ironed out.
The problem of getting accustomed to American ways and meeting people was the one that the majority of students felt needed to be studied.
Erwin David, education senior from Holland, said that he thought the best way for foreign students to learn American social customs and make new friends was by living in an organized house.
Klaus Ziegler, graduate student from Austria, said: "The international club should have more Americans in it, and not be exclusively for foreign students."
County Clubs Elect Officers
Permanent officers for county clubs of Statewide Activities were elected in the Statewide Activities convocation held this morning.
Plans for future activities of the county clubs were discussed and the methods by which these plans would be carried out.
Members of the clubs were issued instruction pamphlets outlining the purposes of Statewide Activities and what its members are expected to do.
Statewide Activities is an organization designed to help publicize the University. Its chief aims are to spread goodwill for the University among people in the state counties, inform prospective students and their parents of the opportunities at KU, and promote and encourage student activities at the University.
Deadline Extended For Queen Pictures
The deadline for receiving pictures of candidates for the Military Ball queen contest has been extended until Friday.
The deadline was extended because many organized houses are planning to enter a candidate but have not had time to submit a picture, Capt. Virgil E. Phillips, supervisor of the ball committee, said.
WEATHER
Generally fair this afternoon tonight and Thursday, little changes in temperatures, lows tonight 25-32, high Thursday 50-55.
Orientation week was another problem that bothered many foreign students. Most of them said that they wished that more information would be sent to foreign students about academic processes at KU so they wouldn't be so confused when they enrolled.
Several students said that they considered individual contacts the best way to really become acquainted with new friends. They added that teas, speeches and other group meetings did not give them a chance to become personally acquainted with other students.
Rather, they decided that every student on the Hill should think of himself just as a member of the campus and not of a particular nationality or race.
The group concluded that the social problems of university life at KU for the foreign students were more important than the academic ones. Also that foreign students shouldn't feel like outsiders or that the American students should consider them as such.
The campus affairs committee will discuss the instructor evaluation sheet at its next meeting, which is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 5.
TKE's Ordered On Probation
No other action was taken against the fraternity.
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity was put on probation by the disciplinary committee today for the fraternity's action at the Loyola game. Nov. 10.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, said the probationary period will last until April 1, 1952. The fraternity officers were put on personal probation and will be particularly watched.
Robert Dring, fraternity president, said if the fraternity took part in another action of this sort, the disciplinary committee "could make it hard on us."
Dring said that the 14-foot nude had been destroyed: "We don't need it any more."

Pocket Radios Keep Hospital Halls Quiet
A silent system of communication enables a student admitted to Watkins hospital to relax comfortably and sleep while the patient in the next bed listens to his favorite jam session.
"The necessity for a quiet radio system came about when the number of patients playing radios with the volume all the way up, got so numerous that the hospital's quiet halls became a state of pandemonium.
"Some consideration had to be given to that occasional patient who was really sick," Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said.
It was decided that through the Watkins endowment, set up to maintain hospital equipment and student comfort, the purchasing of a silent system of communications would improve the situation.
The attic is used to store three radios that are tuned to three main networks, although they may be tuned to any station.
listen until he falls asleep," Dr. Canutson said.
By pulling a string the patient may select one of three stations. The system is also set up so that a phonograph may be plugged into the master system and records played on one of the channels during the hours when no interesting programs are broadcast.
The receivers are specially designed to fit the communication system and will burn out when used on a regular radio.
"A patient can put the receiver in his pajama pocket and read or
"The intercom system, installed at the same time as the radios, saves the nurses a great amount of work and makes possible closer attention to patients." Dr. Canuteson said.
If a patient has a question, he presses a button and asks a nurse who replies over the intercom.
A nurse can sit at her desk and, using the intercom, switch to any patient's room to check if he is getting along properly. The apparatus is sensitive enough to pick up a patient's breathing.
An intercom at the front and back doors of the hospital enables anyone needing hospital facilities at night to talk to a purse.
"Workmen began on the dual project in August but because of shortages of materials spasmodic progress was continued until completion this week. The total cost of this project was almost $8,000," Dr. Cauteson said.
