Unauthorized Solicitors Again On Campus
Once again that old nemesis, the campus solicitor, has appeared at the university, this time in the form of magazine salesmen.
In past years, magazine salesmen, book sellers, and clothing experts have fleeced K.U. students by demanding down payments and never producing merchandise.
A crew of these salesmen, driving two new Plymouth station wagons with Douglas county license tags, have been reported on college campuses all over United States. They were apprehended in Lawrence and forced to buy the tags here. They gave their address as the Eldridge hotel, where they stayed one night.
A similar group that was chased from Lawrence once, are now serving time in the Norman, Okla., jail on charges filed by University of Oklahoma students.
Safety Group Meets Oct.7
The Kansas Conference on Traffic Safety, headed by Frank T. Stockton, Dean of University Extension will meet here Saturday, Oct. 7. The October program will be the first activity of the Kansas conference, which was organized in March.
Three hundred and thirty-eigh Kansas traffic fatalities during the month of September will receive considerable discussion by the conference which is comprised of the State Board of Health, Kansas Highway patrol, Kansas Farm bureau, Kansas Association of Insurance Agents, Red Cross, Kansas State Teachers Association, State Department of Public Instruction, State Highway commission, Kansas Motor Carriers association, Kansas Medical society, Kansas Department of the American Legion, Interstate Commerce commission, Kansas Motor Car Dealers association, and the Automobile Club of Kansas.
The safety program for Kansas, aimed at the grass roots level, is so designed that every community can participate. Invitations have been sent to mayors, Chamber of Commerce, school officials, chiefs of police and safety councils of towns, and cities throughout the eastern part of the state.
Speakers will include Bryan Wilson, acting safety engineer for the State Highway commission; Harold Pelligrino, assistant safety engineer; Raph Stinson of the Department of Public Instruction; E. Paul Amos of the Shawnee Mission Safety Council and Dean Stockton.
A similar conference is to be held Saturday, Oct. 14 at Fort Hays State College for the western part of the state.
Naval Research Calls Zoologists
Dr. E. R. Hall and Dr. Keith R. Kelson, University zoology staff members, left today for Washington, D. C., where they will devote most of the fall to special research.
Dr. Hall, director of the K. U. Museum of Natural History, is on sabbatical leave for the current school year. Dr. Kelson is research associate on a project directed by Dr. Hall and sponsored by the office of naval research. The study is of a confidential nature.
Dr. Rollin Baker, assistant professor of zoology, is acting director of the museum and Prof. A. B. Leonard is acting in Dr. Hall's capacity as chairman of the department of zoology.
Red Peppers Meet Wednesday
Freshman women interested in Red Peppers, freshman pep club, will not meet Thursday, as the Kansas was originally informed. The group will meet at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in Strong auditorium.
The freshmen will be introduced to the general outline of the Red Pepper program, learn the duties of club members, and vote on a regular meeting date. They will not nominate officers until the second meeting.
Book Rebates Hit New High
Rebates paid to students by the Student Union book store last year were the highest in the store's history, totaling $20,655.74 for the six month period from Jan. 1 to June 30, according to L. E. Woolley, store manager. The book store operates on a six月 fiscal unit.
In the past, the store has distributed varied colored rebate slips, each color representing the fiscal period during which the purchase was made. Last year this system was changed in favor of numbering the slips by period. This semester's period eight and the store is now paying on period seven tickets.
The store has had an increase in rebates every six months since its beginning. Mr. Wooley said it will depend upon enrollment as to whether rebates will increase or level off. He believes that even if they level off the bookstore will pay about $40,000 in rebates this year. Total rebates paid by the book store since its start $3^{1/2}$ years ago have been over $95,300.
Tryouts For Actors To Be Held By KFKU
The KFKU Players will audition prospective actors from 4 until 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, and again from 7:30 until 9 p.m. Thursday in the studio behind Marvin hall.
Miss Mildred Seaman, program director of KFKU, stressed the fact that no experience is needed. KFKU offers the chance to act while receiving training.
Rob Rose: Photographie Bureau
THE QUESTION IS, "DID HE CATCH IT OR DIDN'T HE?" Fullback John Amberg snakes in Charlie Hoag's long pass for the Jayhawkers only T.D. in last Saturday's thriller against T.C.U. The play occurred in the first quarter when Hoag ran to his right and made a running toss to Amberg over the goal line. The referee ruled Johnny caught the ball, some fans seated in the end zone swear he scooped it up on the bounce. What do you think?
KU Amateur Radio'Hams' Hold First Meeting Of Year
The University of Kansas amateur radio station, WOAHW, aided a traveling party in Oklahoma the past winter during an ice storm and within 10 minutes had given them the necessary warning to discontinue their trip.
This was the major accomplishment of the 1949-50 University Amateur Radio club.
Sixteen "hams" of the club met Monday evening for their first monthly meeting, with the hope of performing similar functions this year.
Headed by James S. Heaton, electrical engineering senior, this group of licensed amateurs are operating their own radio station under a permit from the Federal Communications Commission. The equipment is located on the top floor of the electrical engineering laboratory.
Prerequisite for membership is the operation of one's own radio station or the intention to do so
Little Man On Campus

"Your blind date is an Alpha Phi Omega—and all I can find out about him is that he is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty brave, clean, and reverent."
when one becomes an associate member. Associate members who plan to set up their own equipment have access to a code practice machine whereby they can learn to receive the required 13 words a minute to secure a class B standing as a radio operator. Seven members indicated interest to take examinations for class A rating.
Working with James M. Wolf, assistant professor of electrical engineering as their advisor, the club will repair their WOAHW transmitter. Another project will be the reconstruction of a ten meter beam used for transmitting short wave to distant points.
Each Tuesday and Friday at 12:30 p.m. WOAHW joins with other Kansas 75 meter phone nets for a roll call or an opportunity to transmit messages or a "rag chew."
Malik Smiles And Jokes--- But Isn't Happy
New York, Sept. 27—(U.P.)—When you meet Jacob Malik, Russian delegate to the United Nations, in the corridors these days, he sometimes smiles and even cracks a joke. But that doesn't mean he is happy. It means just the opposite.
The Korean war was three months old yesterday. Nothing has gone right for the Russians in those 90 days. Their puppet army in North Korea is now learning about war the hard way. None of Malik's projects in the U.N. has come out the way he wanted it to. Time now runs against Moscow instead of against the skeleton line of U.N. troops who held the bridgehead above Pusan until reinforcements arrived.
The Communists have taken short-range setbacks before. They have survived them and, in due time, pushed ahead as strong as ever. But in Korea they see their long-range plans—the conquest of the entire world—in danger.
Moscow's long-range plan is in danger because Korea alerted the world. It also unified nations who heretofore have been inclined to place their sovereign interest first and the problem of combatting Communism second. Yesterday, for instance, Foreign Minister Bewi Britain said he favored the general principles of maintaining a United Nations army to rush to the scene in case there are any more Koreas. If such a plan goes through, the democratic world will be able to give fire-department action to any blaze the Kremlin starts.
Sikes Calls Night Practice
In preparation for their game Friday night with Denver, the University of Kansas football squad will work out at 7 tonight under the lights at Haskell stadium. The practice will enable the players to get used to the lights before Friday night's game. Coach J. V. Sikes said anyone interested in watching the practice is welcome.
The short-range plans of the leaders of international Communism have been thwarted in Korea. Those plans called for a quick conquest of South Korea, establishment of another "People's Republic" and then, probably, a brief lull when they picked out another target for aggression. Now they are wondering how they are going to extract themselves from the Korean debacle without too much loss of face.
