The All Student Council Tuesday ordered the president, James Logan, to set up a committee to investigate unsatisfactory student housing. The results of the investigation will be turned over to the University and state housing boards.

World War II were closer with Germany than with India.
A constant flow of people and ideas between Asiatic countries has always kept that continent in a state of flux and elasticity. Religions, wars, floods, and famines are among the factors responsible for much of this movement.
Dr. Chakravarty emphasized that this movement of people and ideas fostered much of the early development in Europe and is still an influencing factor throughout the western world.
The idea that Asia is sub-divided into isolated sectors is one of several misconceptions held by the West. These "bad negatives" give people a bad picture of the situation in Asia, he added.
Asia is responsible for many inventions, the discovery of minerals, advances in science and mathematics, and the development of several religions and philosophies.

6,479 Students Are Registered In University
The University has a student body of nearly 6,500. James K. Hitt, registrar, reported today.
During the first week of classes 196 students enrolled late bringing the total on the Lawrence campus to 5,969 and at Kansas City to 510.
On the Mount Oread campus there are 4,757 non-veterans, approximately 10 per cent more than the pre-war high. There are 1,051 fewer veterans, which accounts for all but 42 of the enrollment decline.
Hitt expressed doubt that the registration figure would become much larger. There will be more late enrollees but withdrawals will probably cancel them in the official Nov. 1 report.
The new freshmen number of 1058, is 70 more than in 1950. However 210 fewer advance standing and special students entered this year. There are 4,152 men and 1,817 women, with the ratio of slightly more than 2 to 1 approximating the pre-war figure. At Kansas City there are 312 men and 198 women.
With 2,427 students, the College is K.U.'s largest school, followed by the school of Engineering and Architecture with 992 and the Graduate school with 770.
