Students Get 7,095 Seats At OU Game
Sections F through R in Memorial stadium, containing 7,095 seats, will be reserved for University students Saturday, Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg said Monday.
"We want to dispel all rumors that the athletic department is selling tickets twice, or is not reserving enough seats." Mr. Lonborg said.
"At present there are 6,640 I-D cards on the campus. Add to that figure the 245 faculty members, 800 students' wives and medical students and you have 7,685. About 300 students work at the games, either as ushers, selling programs, concessions, working in the press box, or playing.
That leaves 7,385, only 270 over the seating capacity. Those 270, less than 4 per cent of the 7,385, will be students' wives who won't come, students who are sick or go home or just don't like football.
"We realize that the student body is part of the team and every effort is being made to assure every student of a seat."
The trouble at the Nebraska game resulted when a workman put a rope up between sections D and E instead of between E and F, hence causing a conflict over 640 seats.
Kollmorgen Is On Group
Dr. Walter M. Kollmorgen, chairman of the geography department at the University will leave Sunday. Nov. 12, to consult with the President's Water Resources commission
The commission was formed by President Truman to study the entire program of water use and control in the United States. It consists of about 50 employees who have done considerable research work and formulated their results into comprehensive reports.
The commission has asked Dr. Kollmorgen to edit reports and ascertain that principles and policies set forth reflect the best interests of the country. He will prepare for publication selected parts of the reports and will study particularly the findings on the Missouri river basin.
Admiring Work Bad For Seven
This old axiom came true for seven University students who are now spending their "idle" hours campus off of the walls of Memorial stadium.
"The culprit always returns to the scene of the crime."
Had these seven, whose names were not released by the University disciplinary committee, been content to perform their paint job and not return to view their "work of art" the next day, they might still be enjoying life at Mt. Oread.
Early one October morning these seven decided to brighten up the pioneer statue east of Fraser hall by splashing paint over it. After daylight that morning they came back to view their work only to be caught by the campus police.
The group scraped up enough cash to pay for the removing of the paint, $26.57, were given a trial, and sentenced to clean signs off the stadium walls.
Kenneth E. Anderson and William C. Cottle, associate professors of education, are co-operating with Lawrence school officials in a study of school problems associated with the life adjustment program of the National Education association.
Two Professors Study Schools
Dr. Anderson is conducting studies on hidden tuition costs, extra-curricular participation, students who discontinue school, and what graduates do after leaving school. Dr. Cottie is checking the guidance facilities.
The study will determine the cost of schooling excluding the cost of food, clothing, and transportation. The reaction of high school graduates to their education will be a point of consideration. The characteristics of students who leave school without graduating is another object of the study.
Donald B. Deaver Elected To Council
Donald B. Deaver, engineering freshman, will be the freshman representative to the Engineering coun-
sultant a result of election the past week.
Two Departments Offer Seminar On Cybernetics
The Engineering council is the student governing body for the School of Engineering and Architecture.
A seminar on cybernetics is to be offered by the departments of physiology and anatomy, beginning Thursday. The seminar wil be held at 4:30 p.m. each Thursday in room 101, Haworth hall.
Cybernetics, a relatively new field, is "the science of communication and control in the animal and the human," whose discipline grew out of the realization that many biologists have many problems in common relating to the communication of information and the control of activity.
A similar function is performed in the animal body by certain parts of the nervous system, which act to keep blood pressure and body
For example, the operation of an automatic pilot in an airplane depends upon the continuous reception of information by the mechanism from the control surfaces of the plane. This information is then
faces in such a way as to maintain the plane on a certain course.
Participating in this new science are men from such widely different fields as physiology, communications engineering, genetics, and anthropology.
At the first two meetings of the series Dr. Kenneth Jochim, professor of physiology, will present a general introduction to the field and outline some of the basic principles underlying special topics to be taken up later.
temperature within a normal range by making use of information sent into the nervous system from various sensory organs.
At later meetings, students and faculty members will present various topics in anatomy and physiology related to cybernetics.
Half-Million Kansans Vote; US To Elect New Congress Off-Year Vote Booth In Green Serves Absentees Kansas To Be Heavy special in-state absentee vot booth has been set up in the
Washington, Nov. 7—(U.P.)-This is general election day when free men and women decide which party shall control the new 82nd congress which convenes next Jan. 3.
Upward of 40,000,000 persons are expected to vote in 47 states.
If the congressional contest is close, the winner may not be known until mid-day tomorrow or even later.
The congressional victor will get a big boost toward the White House in 1952.
To be elected: 36 U.S. senators.
432 U.S. representatives. 32 governors. Thousands of other officials ranging down to constable and town clerk.
Democrats now control the house and senate. Republicans need seven seats, net, to win the senate and 49, net, to win the house. Non-partisan polls forecast Republican gains but not enough to win control in either house.

President Truman made a surprise election-eve get-out-the-vote beoorded by Re-publican National committee chairman Guy G. Gabrielson.
There are nearly 100 million potential voters. But half of them are not registered and all those registered will not vote. The failure of eligible citizens to exercise the franchise is one of the most challenging problems facing the republic.
The campaign ended with a thunderclap of bad news from Korea. American troops there suddenly are held with fire in guard of China's countess millions.
Republicans sought to make much of that as the campaign died. Far East foreign policy was a top issue throughout.
But the Democrats have prosperity and the fruit of vast patronage long enjoyed to protect their political position.
New York and Ohio are the main events. What looked like a shoo-in Republican victory in New York state has turned into a close contest. Republican Gov. Thomas E. Dewey is going all out to protect his reputation and political life by winning re-election over Rep. Walter A. Lynch, Democrat. Mr. Dewey is charged with bribing his way to the gubernatorial nomination.
In Colorado, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio the administration is teamed with organized labor in tremendous effort to break conservative bulwarks of the Republican party.
In New York City, the polls indicate election of Vincent Impelleteri as mayor. Mr. Impelleteri is an Independent Democrat who took a long chance by running despite refusal of the Democratic organization to accept him. He is acting mayor now. His opponents are Tarmany-backed Justice Ferdinand Pecora, Democrat, and Edward Corsi, Republican.
In Connecticut, California, Pennsylvania and Michigan the Republicans are hammering hard at the Democratic left.
Sen. Robert A. Taft is the top personality in this general election. He seeks return to the senate against an unprecedented combination and organized labor opposition. The Democratic senatorial nominee is State Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson.
A special in-state absentee voting booth has been set up in the basement of Green hall for today's elections. The booth will be open until 7 pm today.
The booth was set up for students who are eligible to vote in Kansas, but are unable to get home to vote in their home counties. The students mark their ballots at the booth and ballots will be sorted and sent to the students home counties.

Kansas Voting Weather Mixed
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 7—(U.P.) More than half a million Kansans voted in mixed weather conditions today—favorable in the west, cloudy, cool and showery in the east.
Republicans were favored as the Sunflower State named a United States Senator, a Governor, six Congressmen and a host of state, district and county officials.
Kansas has has all Republican Congressmen for eight years. The Democrats have been shut out of the U.S. Senate from Kansas for 12 years and out of the governorship the same length of time.
The candidates for the top jobs are:
For Senator — Governor Frank Carlson, Republican; Paul Aiken, Democrat; Verne L. Damon, Prohibitionist.

Labor sought to unseat Representative Scrivner and replace him with young Milt Sullivant, war veteran and onetime University of Kansas football captain. Two years ago Labor put Scrivener's home county of Wyandotte in the Democrat column by a substantial margin but the other eight counties of the district went Republican to send him back to Washington.
Larry Ryan, the only Democrat ever elected Secretary of State in Kansas, seeks re-election against Paul Shanahan, who was majority floor leader in the House of Representatives during the last legislature
A battle of two friendly Irishmen is one feature of the Kansas election.
Lieutenant Governor Frank L. Hagaman was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. If Governor Carlson wins the U.S. Senate seat, he would serve the unexpired term of the late Senator Clyde Reed and leave the governorship vacant for Hagaman for almost two months before the regular term of the new chief executive begins in January.
