The 1950-51 student directory will be distributed Oct. 15, i present deadlines can be met, William Buechel, College senior editor of the directory, announced.
Meeting this deadline will be as difficult task Buechel said. The big task is fitting in the new names, address, and telephone number corrections that are handed in to the registrar's office. There are 75 to a 100 changes coming in each day. As the proofs are all ready printed the new name must be inserted on a master sheet.
Smith is the name that wins the popularity vote this year. There are 64 Smiths, 60 Johnsons, 55 Browns, and 34 Jones. The names range from Abbey to Zvonicek and the hometowns of these 7,502 represent five continents and Pacific island*
Clubs that fail to register at the dean of men's office also cause delay. All organizations which want to be in the book should make application at the office immediately.
European students come from Norway, Switzerland, Finland, Italy, Holland, and Germany; Asiatic students come from Siam, Lebanon, India, Iraq, and Japan; Africa sends an Egyptian student and others come from the islands of Hawaii and Trinidad. South America is represented by Peru and students from
North America are from Mexico to Canada and Brooklyn to Los Angeles.
The directory is compiled with the co-operation of the offices of the chancellor, dean of men, dean of women and registrar. Buechel said that due to the efficiency of these offices, the directory will be available to students earlier than in previous years.
The first two days that the directory is on the campus it will be distributed various points convenient to the students. After that it can be obtained at the book store. A student may get a copy by presenting his identification card.
The directory will have a complete list of all students enrolled at the University, including those at the medical center in Kansas City, Mo.

It will also contain a list of faculty members, organized houses, scholarship and residence halls, administrative offices, and other places of importance to students.

Lake Success, N.Y., Oct. 3—(U.P.) Western powers rejected today Russia's plan for ending the Korean war.

Vishinsky, in an impromptu press conference, told newsmen he could not accept the Western Korean resolution, sponsored by Britain and seven other nations, because it provided that U.N. troops would occupy the country until elections were held and that, under such procedure, "free and impartial" elections would be impossible.

Four KU Students To Direct 'Crusade'
A four-student committee will direct the campus drive for signatures and donations in the Crusade for Freedom.
Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism and campus chairman for the Crusade, announced today that Melvin H. Clingan, All Student Council president, and Marjorie L. Crane, president of the Jay Janes, have been appointed student chairmen. Committee members are Sterling S. Waggener, second-year law, and Joseph P. Wimsatt, College junior. Waggener is assistant to M. C. Slough, associate professor of law and county chairman of the Crusade.
Spearheaded by the four-student committee, the drive for signatures and donations started to roll this week. It opened officially Monday and will end Saturday, Oct. 14.
The committee mapped plans for covering the entire campus, Professor Telfel said.
Jay Janes and members of the Forensic league will canvass all fraternities, sororities, and the larger University residence halls, he explained. The schedule is being worked out by Miss Crane and Waggener.
Forensic league members who will give talks are William Conroy, Heywood Davis, Betsy Dillon, Patricia Gardenhire, Patricia Glover, Win Koerper, Mary Lou Lane, Steve Mills, Tino Rattar, Kent Shear, Fred Six, Jack Stuart, and Keith Wilson.
The Jay Janes will bring the Freedom scrolls and contribution cartons to the houses, start them off, and leave them there to be picked up by Forensic league members who will follow a day or two later to explain the purpose of the Crusade.
Jay Jones will also take turns at Crusade for Freedom tables to be set up in the rotunda of Strong hall and in the Student Union, Miss Crane said. The tables will contain
Freedom scrolls and a contribution carton.
In addition, the girls will canvass department offices for signatures, and will help to post scrolls on bulletin boards around the campus, she said. They will be aided by the faculty Crusade committee of Jack Wichert, assistant professor of economics; John J. Scollay, instructor in English; and Theodore Wagner, instructor in mechanical engineering, Professor Telfel added.
Monday Clingan asked students to "sign the Freedom scrolls in all seriousness and conscientiousness.
"Where possible, couple your signature with contribution to help the crusade financially," Clingan said. "The money will send a radio voice of the United States behind the Iron Curtain . . .
"The Crusade for Freedom is the latest edition of our nation's attempt to reach those behind the Iron Curtain with truth. It is designed further to combat the effects of the Stockholm Peace Pact . . . which belittled American unity and purported to prove that we in this country are not behind our government.
"Thank you for your help. And remember, one day such thanks will be echoed many times in many lands and languages."

- An American scout pilot said a truck convoy 100 miles long was moving from Manchuria toward Byongyang, capital of Red Korea.
At the same time, Chinese Nationalist intelligence sources said that most of Chinese Red Gen. Lin Piao's 4th field army already has crossed the border from Manchuria into North Korea. This report was without confirmation.
The South Korean 3rd division was battling rear guards at Chonjin, 30 road miles north of the border, while the South Korean capitol division struck west from Yangyang which is 13 miles north.
At the western end of the border, U.S. Marine units were encountering stiff resistance from Red rearguards. The 7th Marine regiment was drawn into a trap today just inside the town of Ulyongbu, 18 miles south of 38th parallel, which stalled its advance for the second day.
Meanwhile, South Korean troops were thrusting into Red Korea through the breach made yesterday near the eastern end of the 38th parallel border.
A spokesman for Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Tokyo confirmed reluctantly today that South Koreans had attacked in force north of the border, but refused to say whether American troops would cross the 38th parallel.
