US Will Veto Anyone But Lie For UN Post
Lake Success, N. Y., Oct. 26—(U.P.)—The United States, unswerving in its support of Trygve Lie as Secretary-General of the United Nations, planned today to ask the General Assembly to extend his term—probably for another five years.
In the face of an American announcement that it would veto anybody but the Norwegian for the post, the U.S. won the support of the Security Council Wednesday when that 11-nation group rejected Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines and Dr. Charles A. Malik of Lebanon as candidates to succeed Lie.
But Jacob A. Malik, chief Russian delegate and no relation to the Lebanese delegate whom he nominated, informed the council that he had still other candidates to put into nomination. Russia's Malik was expected to ask formally for another Security Council meeting today and U.S. Delegate Warren R. Austin, who is the council president for October, was expected to call the session as soon as possible to clear the decks for action in the assembly next Monday.
Although Romulo and Lebanon's Malik both have long been considered pro-American, the U. S. abstained when their nominations were voted on in the council. So did Britain, France, Cuba, Ecuador, Norway and Yugoslavia. Only Russia, Nationalist China, India and Egypt voted for the two candidates—the ballot being identical in each case.
Austin said bluntly that the U.S. was prepared to use the veto to block the nomination of anybody but Lie. He said the U.S. believed that Russia sought to punish the Norwegian for his stand in the Korean war by ousting him from the position.
Pep Rally Friday In Fowler Grove
A pep rally at 9:45 Friday morning in Fowler Grove will begin the 1950 Homecoming activities on the campus.
Featured at the rally will be talks by Jayhawkers Bill Mace, guard; Dean Wells, left half-back, and Dr. Yak, traditional K.U. pepster, who will hand out "pep pills." Coach J. V. Sikes or a member of his staff will also be present, said Patsy Landis, cheerleader in charge of the rally.
Classes will be let out five minutes early so that students can attend the rally, Raymond Nichols, University executive secretary, said today.
D. R. McKeithan, employee relations man for the Phillips Petroleum company of Bartlesville, Okaa, and M. H. Guild of the company's research and development department, will interview senior engineering students Tuesday, Oct. 31, and Wednesday Nov. 1.
Engineers To Be Interviewed
Two schedules will be set up for the interviews. Mr. Guild will interview chemical engineers and chemists and Mr. McKeithan will interview all others. A third interviewer will be present if the students show enough interest to necessitate it.
In a letter to T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, Mr McKeithan said, "We are primarily interested in engineers, with emphasis being placed on chemical, mechanical, and petroleum engineers. In addition to these three classifications, I would like to talk to a few chemists and civil, architectural, electrical and geological engineers."
The schedules will be filled, as nearly as possible, with students who are to be graduated in February,
University Senate Vetoes Senior Exam Exemption
The University Senate vetoed a bill to allow graduating seniors with a "C" average not to have to take final examinations. A letter from the Senate was read to the members of the All Student council by Melvin Clingan, president.
On March 8, 1950, the council adopted a resolution asking the Chancellor and the University Senate to act on this bill. After much debate and counter-resolutions, the letter said, a bill was suggested, seconded, and passed that all seniors must take final examinations.
Donald Dirkss, College sophomore,
replaced Robert Orr, business senior,
as representative from the Y.M.C.A. Barbara Hagan, business junior, will replace Wilma Shore.
Miss Shore did not return to school
The Campus Chest which was to begin during the first two weeks of November has been postponed until the first two weeks of February. Pat Gardenirtire, chairman of the committee said that due to the conflict with Homecoming, Thanksgiving and Christmas it would be better to set the date ahead.
Isabel Martin, regional secretary for the World Student Service Fund explained the work of her organization and how funds from the Chest are used.
The elections committee said that the freshman election will be held Wednesday, Nov. 8. The council voted to place a polling booth in the Union so that more students may
The Norman Granz "Jazz at the Philharmonic" concert, appearing at Hoch auditorium Nov. 20, will be the third jazz group ever to appear at the University. Paul Whiteman was brought here around 1929 by the School of Fine Arts. Then, in 1947, the first Granz group was brought here by Student Union activities.

Jazz Group To Play Here On Nov.20
In 1947, a number of students asked the School of Fine Arts to sponsor Granz as a part of its regular concert course. But D. M. Swarthout, professor of piano, who was then manager of the concert course, refused to sponsor Granz. He called jazz musical "distortions and animalistic wallowings."
Prof. Swarthout's refusal to sponsor the Granz concert caused many jazz enthusiasts on the campus to raise such a furor that Student Union Activities decided to sponsor the event. It was such a success, both the main auditorium and the first balcony were filled with jazz lovers and skeptical fine arts students, that S.U.A. signed Granz early this summer to play here again this year.
Five appropriations introduced by Joe Wimsatt, treasurer, were passed by the council.
The Y.M.C.A. received $225; Engineering council, $150; the U.N. organization of the International club received $40 to pay for expenses of its program at the Community building Tuesday night; Alpha Phi Omega, professional service fraternity, $40; and the Forensic league, $100.
The annual Kansas State-Kansas dinner will be held Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. at the Dine-A-Mite. This dinner is held in connection with the peace pact between the schools. The members of the A.S.C. will be hosts to the Kansas State student government body.

UN Forces Prepare For Knockout Drive
Tokyo, Oct. 26—(U.P.)—United Nations vanguards raced through North Korea within artillery range of Manchuria today while U. S. Marines swarmed ashore at the head of 50,000 reinforcements for the Allied knockout drive.
The new landing will put 170,000 Allied troops on the march toward the Manchurian and Soviet frontiers.
South Korean 6th Division units expected to reach the Yalu river frontier between northwest Korea and Communist Manchuria today. They sped through Kojang, only 18 miles from the border, without opposition last night.
Waiting behind the 1st Marine Division to land were 20,000 troops of the U. S. 7th Infantry Division, some 2,000 South Korean Marines and assorted administrative and engineering units. They were moved by sea from Inchon on the Korean west coast after liberating Seoul last month.
In the northeast, more than 20,000 U. S. Marines hit the beaches at Wonsan in snow flurries and headed north behind other South Korean forces already 120 miles above the port.
The 300-ship armada arrived off Wonsan last Friday, but had to wait outside until Allied minesweepers had cleared safe channels through more than 2,000 mines in one of the densets minefields in history.
Last Rites Paid Jolson
Hollywood, Oct. 26—(U.P.) The cream of show business gathered today to bid farewell to the greatest entertainer of them all—Al Jolson.
Final services for the beloved "Mammy" singer were set for high noon in the lavish Temple Israel on Hollywood Boulevard, just a few feet away from a theater where Jolson sang his way into the hearts of three generations of fans.
The funeral ceremony was private, but Jolson had so many close friends that all the Temple's 1,500 seats were filled.
His thousands of fans, the "little people" who stuck by him through 51 fabulous tune-sprinkled years, were given a chance to pay their last respects, however. The Temple doors were opened for two hours this morning and the public was allowed to file past the white marble altar, where "Jolie" lay in a bronzed casket between giant candelabra.
It was reported in New York that the 64-year-old Jolson left an estimated 4 million dollars to Jewish, Protestant and Catholic charities and three New York universities.
After the 30-minute ceremony, Jolson's family and a few close friends were to take his body to Beth Olam cemetery, where he will be interred until a family shrine for final burial can be designed at Hillside Memorial park.
When the Wednesday night dress rehearsal ended about 160 cast members and a half dozen directors and writers breathed a tired, contented sigh. Thomas Shay, co-director of the Follies, said the show was organized amazingly fast. Prof. William Simpson is the other director, Clayton Krebhiel, Women's Glee club director, directs music.
The show is divided into three skits all consisting of pantomime, musical and speaking scenes. Dramatic bits and individual acts will be included.
Mr. Shay will narrate much of the script, which is written in rhyming verse. Talking and singing roles will be interspersed with the narration.
The nightshirt parade will be enacted in the first skit. Most of the scene shows student celebrators urging the Chancellor, played by Jack Stewart, business senior, to get out of bed and join in the fun.
The atmosphere of the second skit changes from the festive mood found in the first. Blonde Nancy Lindsey, College junior, opens the scene by singing the sultry "St. Louis Woman." Her second song tells of some woman who wishfully longs, "If I could shimmy like my sister, Kate."
When the can can dancers kicked onto the stage at dress rehearsal the show stopped temporarily as all hands gaped at the seven masculine beauties. In these roles are Allan Thomas, College sophomore, and John Millard, Stanton Barnhill, Larry Sigler, John Beeder, and Paul Worley, College freshmen; and Richard Cameron, education freshman.
While coaching at K.U. in 1920, "Phog" Allen had a dream, which tipped him off on a play. The dream is acted out in the second skit. K.U.'s football team defeated Iowa State 7 to 0 in the game where Dr. Allen used his dream play. Marilyn Dubach, College sophomore, plays the "Spirit of Worry" that visited Dr. Allen.
During the third skit, "Phog's" dream play is put into action by two teams consisting of 13 student actors. They are: Charles Shara, education senior; David Fisher and Marvin Reed, education junior; Darrrell Rhudy, pharmacy junior; Donald Seba and Robert Dula, education junior; Daniel Eckermann and Martin Bisaha, Norman Bitner, Robert Carpenter, Arthur Dalzell, Jim Rissen, and Wesley Sante, education freshmen.
Homecoming queen candidates,
Constance Maus and Ada Hatfield,
College sophomores, and Alice Ruth Walls, fine arts junior, will be introduced to the audience before the finale. Crowning of the queen will be at halftime of the Homecoming game Saturday.
Buildings and grounds and the traffic bureau are portrayed during the show. Student cups and pots provide the humor in these sketches.
Because the Varsity - freshman basketball game precedes the variety show, no seats will be placed on the court. Students may sit on the floor if they wish, Don Powell, chairman of the Homecoming committee, said.
Canuteson To Attend Meeting
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University Health service will go to Emporia tonight to attend a meeting of the Kansas Heart association at the Broadview hotel. Dr. Canuteson is president-elect of the association for the coming year.
