New Parking Rules Setup For Military Ball
The traffic and parking regulations for the military ball, as follows, are different from those previously announced. Entrance to the Military Science building will be gained from Michigan street west of Lindley hall. Sixteenth street will be one way going east between Michigan and Mississippi streets, and the drive behind old Fowler shops will be closed from the Mississippi street entrance.
Cadets and midshipmen of the military science organizations who have purchased tickets for the military ball and will be unable to attend are reminded that the tickets are not transferable.
Two police officers, a cadet and raidshipman will be on duty at each entrance to apprehend anyone who tries to gain entrance illegally. Student I.D. cards will be checked at the door.
Cadets may drive up to the Military Science building to discharge passengers and then proceed to the parking areas. Parking areas authorized for the ball are: zone C, south of Lindley hall; zone G, behind Robinson gym and Haworth ball; and zone F by the intramural playing fields. Parking will be permitted along Jayhawk drive.
Parking will not be permitted in zone E next to the Military Science building or in the drive leading to the Military Science building.
Anyone trying to gain admission to the ball by misrepresentation will be arrested, said Lt. Comdr. W. A. Mann, assistant professor of naval science.
A cadet in good standing who has not yet received his uniform is expected to attend the Military Ball in civilian clothes, Col. Edward F. Kumpe, professor of military science, said today.
Engineering Groups Will Hold Dance
Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau and P Tau Sigma, honorary engineering societies, will hold a semi-formal dance at 9 p.m. Saturday in the Military Science building.
Rollin H. Baker, acting director of the Museum; Harrison B. Tordoff, assistant curator of ornithology; William Stallcup, special graduate student; William Maben. College junior; and Robert Petitt, special student; were members of the expedition.
Warren Durret, and his band will play for the dance. Tickets are $2 a couple. Members of these organizations may each bring one guest couple.
During the five-day Thanksgiving vacation an expedition from the Museum of Natural History collected 60 mammals and birds near Grouse creek in Cowley county.
On a two-acre plot, 80 cotton rats were trapped. The expedition preserved some of these as specimens for the Museum collections.
Group Collects Mammals, Birds
The region around Cowley county is interesting in that a mixture of western prairie and eastern woodland animals occur. It is also a transitional area for northern and southern animals.
Mr. Tordoff said one of the purposes of the trip was to obtain records of migrating birds. Of special interest were mountain bluebirds which had migrated from the Rocky mountains and Smith's longspurs from the Arctic tundras.
What Was The Interest For 27 Years?
Twenty-five birds and 35 mammals, including shrews, various kinds of mice, and a bobcat, were brought to the Museum.
Hollywood—(U.P.)-Movie actor Wendell Corey rushed a 32-cent deposit recently to a Westfield, Mass., bank where he started a 68-cent account 27 years ago.
Corey said he would take no chance on letting a new Massachusetts law deprive him of the money he earned shoveling snow on the day before Christmas, 1923.
"That was my first bank account, and I remember it very well," he said. "I am sending money to bring it up to a nice round dollar."
Alumni Staff To Attend Meeting
A joint conference of the American Alumni council and the American College Public Relations association will be held in Kansas City's Hotel Continental Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Dec. 3-6.
Six University personnel will attend various meetings of the conference. They are Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association; Mildred Clofdelter and Marvin Small, assistant secretaries of the alumni association; Janice Johnston, assistant editor of the alumni magazine; Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the endowment association; and Tom Yoe, director of public relations.

Hitt Welcomes Principals To 2nd Conference
18 Visit Mines, Plants
Fifteen students and three faculty members of the department of mining and metallurgical engineering went on a two-day field trip through southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma.
The group visited the Galena smelter and pigment plant at Galena, lead and zinc mines at Picher, Okla., the central mill at Cardin, Okla., and attended a luncheon given by the Eagle-Picher lead company at Miami, Okla.
Monday they visited the foundry and shops of the McNally-Pittsburg Manufacturing company, the opc cut mines and coal washing plant of the Mackie-Clemens Fuel company, and the tile plant of the Dickey Clay Manufacturing company, all of Pittsburgh, Kan.
The second annual Principal-
Freshman conference began at 9:30
am, Thursday in Strong auditorium
as James K. Hitt, registrar, welc-
comed principals from 44 Kansas high
schools.
Members of the expedition were Justo Bravo, Roger Nowlin, John Walker, graduate students; Robert Bracy, Theodore Crane, N. E. Eberhart, Donald Lester, William Miller, Lawrence Morgan, Kermit Oswalt, Robert Reiswig, and Franklin Welch, engineering seniors; Richard Kapilla, Hing Lee, engineering juniors, Junius Van Lieu, special student; Kenneth E. Rose, associate professor of mining engineering; Frank W. Bowdish, assistant professor of mining and metallurgical engineering; and Hubert E. Risser, instructor of mining engineering.
Tomorrow is coming to meet you at a terrific pace--about 1,037 miles an hour at the equator or about 800 miles an hour if you are in the latitude of Washington, D.C., says the
The purpose of the conference was to help freshmen through the transition from high school to college, Mr. Hitt said.
From 10 a.m. to noon, each principal held individual conferences with University freshmen who were graduated from his high school. In addition, a number of high school English instructors met with members of the department of English faculty to discuss high school preparation for college English courses.
Interviewed during the individual conference period, Floyd C. Smith, Iola principal, said "I believe this program is a step in the right direction, because there is a big gap between high school and college work."
Ronald McDonald, College freshman from Iola, had a suggestion for his former principal: "It might help if there were some kind of comprehensive reading course in high school."
Beloit principal, E. M. Chestnut, said "The University is making a conscientious effort to help freshmen get through their first year here."
His former student, Robert Godwin, education freshman, agreed with him: "I think it is worthwhile, and I enjoy meeting with Mr. Chestnut."
"I think these meetings can help each high school to plan a better college preparatory course," said Frohman Meeker, Garnett principal. "Most of us have a tendency to neglect the student who is planning to attend college."
Bruce Ewbank, College freshman from Garnett, had a complaint about the use of libraries here should be more fully explained to new students."
After a complimentary luncheon in the Kansas room of the Union, the principals completed individual conferences, toured the campus, and visited classes.
At a concluding meeting held at 3:15 in the Kansas room, they discussed the merits of the conference program.
Need Psychiatrists, Says Dr. Menninger
Members of Mortar Board and Sachem acted as guides for the principals.
Chicago—(U.P.)—One of the nation's leading psychiatrists said today that there is an "urgent need for at least 18,000" more trained psychiatrists in the United States "if even the minimum demands for mental health services are to be met."
Dr. William C. Meninger made the statement. He, his brother, Dr.Karl Meninger, and their father, Dr. Charles F. Meninger, were honored last night for their work in psychiatry at a dinner in Chicago commemorating the 31st anniversary of the founding of the Meninger clinic in Topeka, Kan.
Professor Berger To Talk On Fronch Painter Gericault
"The present war is a vivid and tragic example of man's failure to deal with his fellow man in a healthful manner. . . It is evidence that we live in a distressed and distressing world where men fail to understand men and often cannot even get along with themselves," Dr. William Menninger said. He added that the "danger is certain" that the present war situation will "bring about further demands of the limited resources of psychiatry."
Klaus Berger, assistant professor of art history, will speak on the French painter, Gericault, at 3 p.m. Sunday, December 3 in the Art Museum. Professor Berger has written a book on Gericault.
Debate Squad Grows To Record Membership
This year's debate squad is the largest one the University has ever had. Thirty-five students are participating members of the squad, 22 of them freshmen and sophomores.
squad, 22 of them freshman. "This is indicative of the current trend toward greater student interest in debate activities," said William Conboy, advisor for the freshman-sophomore group.
Simpson To Give Recital Sunday
G. Criss Simpson, associate professor of organ and theory, will give an organ recital at 4 p.m. Sunday in Hoch auditorium. The concert, which is open to the public, is one of a series of faculty recitals sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.

Mexican Film Showing Today
A Mexican film, "Donna Barbara," will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium.
Dr. Kim Giffin, director of debate at the University, said it is a healthy thing to have a large number of debaters.
"If the democratic methods of discussion are currently suffering a setback, it should only stimulate students in their efforts to learn better principles and techniques, and motivate teachers of debate and discussion to greater efforts in their task of spreading the democratic philosophy," he said.
Some of the outstanding debates in which the K.U. squad has participated so far this year are: the Kansas High School debate and speech institute, held at the University; Steve Mills and Kent Shearer, College seniors, against a Wichita team; and a kickoff tournament at Manhattan Nov. 11 for inexperienced debaters.
Today and Saturday, Win Koerper,
College and law junior; Haywood
Davis, College junior; Jack Stewart,
and Eugene Balloun, business seniors
will be at the Iowa debate tournament.
All four will participate in a
variety of activities and be rated by
their skill in discussion, debate,
extemporaneous speaking, and oratory.
Three other tournaments and exhibitions are coming up this year. At Pittsburg Dec. 8 through Dec. 10, debaters are entered. They are Elizabeth Dillon, College senior; Orval Swander, business junior; George Howell, and William Nulton, College sophomores; Stuart Conklin, William Crews, Carolyn Hammond, Lessie Hinchee, Mary Anne O'Neill, and Richard Sheldon, College freemen.
Members of the squad who go on tour, or to tournaments and exhibitions, have their travel and living expenses paid for by the Debate fund.
A tournament will be held at McPherson after the Christmas vacation, and at Purdue university Jan. 12 and 13. Conboy said that personnel for these debates has not been decided.
Sometime this semester, Steve Mills and Kent Shearer will participate in exhibitions for high school students in St. Louis and Columbia, Mo.
Later this school year, Lee Turner, second year law student; and Guy Goodwin, College and law, will debate in the Texas tournament, the national high school question, "Resolved, that the American people should reject the welfare state," and the college question, "Resolved, that the non-communist nations should form a new international organization."
Debate is part of the over-all forensic program under the direction of E. C. Buehler, professor of speech.
