Foreign Student Wins ASC Award
A 1950-51 scholarship was awarded by the All Student Council Tuesday to Rafael Villasenor, engineering freshman from Mexico City.

A request for $555.58 by Don Porter, president of the Student Activities commission, was rejected by the Council after much discussion. However, the Council voted $50 for the commission so that it could begin its work. The larger appropriation will be considered at the next meeting.
Jack Howard, business senior, was appointed to the group on committees to fill a vacancy.
The Council also filled three vacancies on the student court. The new men are Joseph Kaufman, second-year law student, who will serve for one year, and Jerome Jones and Ralph Brock, second-year law students, who will serve for two years. A.S.C.

Nursing Club Plans Meeings
The Pre-Nursing club decided on Tuesday to meet at 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the home economics dining room in Fraser hall. All pre-nursing women are eligible.
Jennine Prichard, president, said the organization provides an opportunity for women to get acquainted before going to the Kansas City Medical center. She added that many of them will be working and possibly rooming together there and the club hopes to set up a contact now for them.
Plans were discussed for representatives from each specialized branch in the nursing profession to talk to the group at their meetings. The club also decided to use films pertinent to the nursing profession.
Miss E. Jean M. Hill, chairman of the department of nursing at the medical center, will meet with the group Tuesday, Oct. 10.
Miss Prichard said a special Christmas program will be planned and a banquet will be given at the end of the semester as a "farewell" to those who will go to Kansas City. Officers are elected each semester and the new ones will be installed at the banquet meeting.
Student Union Activities To Assign Committees

Lost And Found Office Opens Today In Union
The University of Kansas lost and found department operated by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, was opened at 11 a.m. today.
Located on the second floor of the Union, the department is open from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. each weekday.
Twenty members of Alpha Phi Omega were present at the first weekly meeting Tuesday night. In making final arrangements for this campus service, members of this professional service fraternity agreed that pick up of lost articles in the main offices of each campus building would be made twice a week.
Jack Gerdel, engineering junior, lost and found department manager, said that of the 886 items turned in last year 253 were claimed. Better service could be possible, he said, if students would check with the office when anything is lost. Too few students realize that this office exists, he added.
A solicitation program is in progress at the present time which will end on Tuesday, Oct. 24, when new members will be accepted at a pledging ceremony. Officers expect the membership to compare with the 75 of last year. The only pre-requisite is membership in the Boy Scouts' organization.
At the business session, plans for the Campus Chest and the March of Dimes were considered.
Position Open On Jayhawker Annual
Students interested in applying for the position of advertising manager for the 1951 Jayhawker should pick up the instruction sheet and contract book between 3 and 4 p.m. today or from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday in the Jayhawker office in the Union.
ISA Wards Explained At Orientation Meeting
A goal of six wards has been tentatively set but there may be four with about 50 men in each one. They will begin separate meetings within the next two weeks to elect
The salesman selling the most advertisement during the two-week contest will be the new advertising manager.
There will also be a meeting at 4 p.m. today in the Jayhawker office for members of the Jayhawkter secretarial staff.
Independent men living in private homes and unorganized houses received "orientation" instruction as to the purposes of the I.S.A. ward system at an all-ward meeting and party Monday. Approximately 65 men, mostly freshmen, attended the meeting which included a social hour, separate ward meetings, and a membership drive.
"This first meeting was mainly to let the men get acquainted and to learn how many will be interested in the ward set-up," explained Raymond Stevenson, engineering senior. "They seemed very enthusiastic and told of many others they knew would be interested and who needed the contact provided by the program."
Roger Price, College senior, I.S.A. men's intramural chairman, signed up volunteers for a football team and expects to start playing games within the next two weeks.
officers and start planning their social activities.
The ward system is planned by the I.S.A. to provide men with companionship and an organized contact with campus activities.
An Inter-ward council is being planned this year and each ward will send one to three men as representatives. The council will be directly responsible to the I.S.A. In this way, it will be possible to maintain closer relationships between the men in wards and the entire I.S.A. program.
Officers elected within the next two meetings will hold office until March, when officers will be elected for a whole year, similar to the plan used by organized houses.
Americans To Go Beyond Parallel
BULLETIN
Flushing, N.Y., Sept. 27—(U.P.)—North Korea has expressed its readiness to end the Korean war on terms providing for United Nations elections throughout the country, withdrawal of Communist troops behind the 38th parallel, and confinement of United States forces to the Pusan bridgehead, highly reliable sources said today.
Only one instance of magazine soliciting by unauthorized salesmen has been reported by women students to the office of the dean of women.
Unauthorized Soliciting Rare
Nothing can be done about the off-campus soliciting, except to warn the women they may just be giving away their money, Miss Habein explained. No soliciting is authorized on the campus.
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, said that there is rarely any trouble with such salesmen in women's organized houses. However, a salesman approached a woman student on Oread avenue between 12th and 13th streets, which is off the campus.
Pre-Med Test To Be Given
Washington, Sept. 27—(U.P.)—Americans will fight beyond the 38th Parallel, if necessary, but U.S. forces will not undertake postwar occupation duties in North Korea. Experts said Secretary of State Dean Acheson and other highranking U.S. officials are sounding out other United Nations members with forces fighting in Korea for their reaction to the plan.
The Medical College Admission test, sponsored by the Association of American Medical colleges, will be given Monday, November 6. This test is recommended for applicants seeking admission for the fall term, 1951, to medical colleges which are members of the association.
This examination consists of tests of general scholastic ability, an understanding of modern society, and achievement in science. Scores on the test will be used by medical colleges to supplement other available data for determining admission.
Further information can be obtained from the guidance bureau,
Strong Annex B, or the physiology office, room 214, Haworth hall.
New Engineer Joins Radio Station Staff
Winn J. Lockett of radio station KHOZ in Harrison, Ark., has been hired as engineer for KFKU, radio station of the University. He will succeed Clarence Resch, engineer during the past year, who has been recalled to the armed forces.
Mr. Lockett, who worked as KHOZ as radio operator for the past 15 months, is a native of Evansville, Ind. He is a graduate of the Central Radio school, Kansas City, Mo.
Geomorphologists Take Trip
The geomorphology class is on a field trip to Colorado and New Mexico where they are making a special study of landforms.
The group, which will return Sunday, is under the direction of Prof. H.T.U. Smith of the geology department.
The final decision on putting it into effect would have to be made by President Truman after review by the National Security council.
Authorities said present American intentions are to send American forces across the 38th parallel only if the Communists continue the war.
Once the conflict ends, no American troops would be stationed there. But Acheson was understood to be willing to permit other U.N. nations to provide occupation forces.
The decision against the use of Americans is designed to avoid inciting Russia or the Chinese Communists, officials said.
2. A declaration that a democratic government for all of Korea must be set up by free and democratic elections under U.N. supervision.
The plan also may be aimed at encouraging the Russians and North Koreans to seek a peaceful end to the conflict
The measure, expected to go before the assembly's main political committee not later than Friday, probably will find several countries co-sponsoring it with Britain. The United States, with its armed forces the most heavily committed in Korea, probably will take no active part in the presentation of the resolution, which is expected to include these main points:
Britain circulated a resolution today among delegations to the United Nations General assembly, calling for elections supervised by a U.N. commission to unite North and South Korea.
1. A reaffirmation of the U.N. decree that a unified Korea, which eliminate the 38th parallel demarcation line, must be established.
3. Establishment of a stronger U. N. commission for Korea then now exists, probably including a larger proportion of Asians, to plunge into Korea's problems of reconstruction.
4. Approval by the General assembly of the provisions of the Security council resolution calling on all U.N. members to furnish assistance to restore peace and security in Korea.
