Freshman Dorm Will Be Ready By November 1
North College hall lacks only detailed interior finishing before it will be turned over to the University by the B. A. Green Construction Co. builders.
The hall, which is located at the north tip of Mt. Oread and is connected to Corbin hall by a corridor, will house 181 freshmen women.
Setting Nov. 1 as the approximate date for completion of the building, Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, said that the ball will be ready for occupancy for the second semester of this term, if furniture deliveries are made on time.
North College hall will supplement the other university womens' dormitories in a plan for housing all freshman women. The plan will go into effect at the beginning of the 1351 school year and will defer pledging to sororities until the fall of the sophomore year.
The seven story building will have an elevator, independent telephone switchboard, laundry facilities, all tile baths, and a dining room.
The $625,000 building, which is being constructed with state appropriated funds, was named in honor of the University's first building, North College, which was located on the same tract of ground.
Actors Plan Weekly Plays
There won't be a lack of entertainment on the Hill this year if the University Players have anything to say about it. Thomas Shay, instructor of speech, outlined a plan for a play each week of the semester at a meeting for prospective players Wednesday.
Yers Wendelson will be given in the Little theater in Green hall as a part of the University Players' laboratory work. The first play, "Fumed Oak," will be presented Oct. 10. It is a comedy by Noel Coward.
A week later the second play "Augustus Does His Bit," will be given, It, too, is a comedy.
Actors have not yet been chosen for parts in the plays. The first tryouts will be at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. today. It is not necessary to be a University Player to try for a part
Students will direct and stage plays as well as act in them. Plays will be given without sets and with few props. Shay believes it is the acting and not the dress that makes a show click.
The Little theater was completely remodeled the past summer and comfortable seats have been installed. There is no admission fee for University Players' productions.

South Koreans Advance; Americans Capture Suwon
Korea, Sept. 22—(U.P.) The Americans came back today to Suwon—their first headquarters in the Korean war.
A surprise thrust by the American Seventh division captured the city and its important air strip, 17 air miles south of Seoul. Suwon's fall, along with headlong advances by 'Americans and South Koreans in the Pusan beachhead, brought the jaws of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's nutcracker drive in Korea to within 100 miles of each other.
On the south coast-U.S. 25th division within eight miles of Chinju and hoping to reach the city tonight.
Fierce Communist resistance was stalling Marines attempting to clean out Seoul's western suburb of Yongdungpo, but on the North the Marines had plunged into the city's outskirts. They were on the eastern slope of Ansaan mountain overlooking the west gate prison about two miles from the center of Seoul.
Here was the picture around the Pusan perimeter;
On the central Nakton front—U.S... Second.. division.. captures Chogve, six miles west of the river.
On the Waegwan front—U.S. 24th division drives 18 miles up the main Pusan-Suwon-Seoul highway and enters Kumchon, 100 miles southeast of Suwon. U.S. 1st cavalry drives 30 miles southwest of Waegwan.
On the northeastern front-five South Korean divisions capture Hunghae and Kigye and advance so rapidly they lose contact with advance headquarters.
Suwon was the terminal point of the first American airlift to Korea, and was visited by General MacArthur on June 29. On July 5, it fell to the Communists.
Aliens To Receive Award For Course
The State Printer in Topeka is preparing an attractive certificate to be awarded aliens in the state who have completed the University's correspondence course in naturalization.
This course prepares the alien for his citizenship exam. In the history of the course no one who has completed it has failed the citizenship test.

French Fight Rebel Patrols
Saigon, Indo-China, Sept. 22—(U.P.)
—Sskirmishes broke out today between French troops and Vietminh Communist troops along colonial route no. 4—the invasion route to Indo-China from the Chinese Communist border.
French officials said their troops ran into Rebel patrols while en route from Thakee to Dongke, which the Rebels captured and later evacuated. No major battle has developed yet, the officials said.
The officials said that French troops have been in a position to re-occupy Dongke for some time but that they were proceeding toward it cautiously because of the operations of snipers.
At Lackay and Pakha, two other key points in northern Tonkin province, Communist activities were confined to sniping.
Meantime, there was no new information on French operations in southern Tonkin province, where fresh Communist outbreaks were reported to have occurred on the heels of the Communist attacks in the North.

Directors of the University alumni association will meet in the office of Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. After the business meeting they will attend a luncheon and then go to the T.C.U.-K.U. football game.

Cheerleaders Patricia Ames, a senior in the College, and Sam Clemons, junior in the School of Business, both stated that the pep turnout this morning was the best they had seen in a long time. They expect the rally tonight to be one of the best ever held.
The Hawk's Nest, formerly the Palm room, will be presided over by a huge female Jayhawk sitting on her nest. An egg, allegedly discovered near Potter lake and which is believed to be a Jayhawk egg, will be hatched at 8 p. m.
A car rally of perhaps 100 cars will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday and will end at the Union where Gov. Frank Carlson will talk to the student body.
The game will start at 2 p.m. with Gov. and Mrs. Frank Carlson watching from the student section for the first half and with Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott for the second half of the game. Accompanying the governor to the game will be Margaret Granger, president of Student Union Activities; Paul Coker, S.U.A. vice pres
On the Pohang Front, Korea. Sept.
22—(U.P.) Five South Korean divisions attacked on a 40-mile front along the northern rim of the Pusan beachhead today and advanced as much as six miles in the first eight hours.
Enemy columns were falling back in disorder along most of the front under a hail of bombs and shells from the Allied air fleet and warships cruising off the east coast.
Two former enemy strongholds fell in short order. They were Hunghae, on the east coast five miles north of Pohang, and Kigye, 10 miles northwest of Pohang.
The new "big push" was part of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's master plan to crush the North Korean Communist army south of the 38th parallel. Another phase of it is the Marine drive in the Seoul area.
The South Koreans were moving so rapidly in some places it was almost impossible to keep up with their advance positions.
The 7th division, driving north from Angang, was also approaching Tosong.
The South Korean 3rd division, which appeared to have made the longest gains, recaptured Pohang and Hunghae, then swept northward to within two miles of Chongha. One unit of the 3rd also was moving toward Tosong, about four miles west of Hunghae.
South Korean officers reported the morale of their soldiers "very high."
The 8th and 6th divisions were moving north of Uihung and Kusan. They moved so rapidly there was no accurate indication of their present whereabouts. But both divisions are driving toward the general area of Andong, the Reds' major supply distribution point for weapons and men brought to this front from Seoul.
Their engineers cleared the last of the enemy mines from the Yongchon-Angang-Pohang highway and the road was reopened to traffic for the first time in nearly two weeks.
The Bureau of Correspondence Study of the Extension Division has announced the placing of a new course on their curriculum. It will be a course called Driver Education and will have $ \frac{1}{2} $ unit high school credit.
Any driver in the state may take the course which is directed toward enabling the student to pass the state drivers license test. The course is part of a statewide safety campaign and takes one semester to complete. There is no actual driving included in the test.
Drivers Get New Course
The high school course in driver training being offered with actual behind-the-wheel training enables the student to automatically receive his license. The correspondence course offered by the University does not.
Two texts are used in the course, "Sportsmenlike Driving" and "Man in the Motor Car". These are supplemented by regulations supplied to each student by the Kansas highway patrol.
Physics Professor To Lecture On Math
Max Dresden, associate professor of physics, will lecture on the "Algebratic Theory of High Spin Particles" at the mathematical colloquium to be held at 5 p.m. in room 203, Strong Hall, Monday, Sept. 25.
