Six Groups Will Benefit From Drive
Six organizations will benefit from the Campus Chest drive being conducted from Nov. 7 until Saturday.
Students may contribute either to all of these health and charitable agencies by giving to a general fund, or you may choose to which ones you wish your money. to go. The organizations are as follows:
The American Foundation f o r Overseas Blind, incorpated, n ished a i l l p m e n t for blind European children. This includes textbooks.
styluses, and typewriters. The foundation replaces equipment lost during the war and gives new equipment to help schools for the blind expand.
C. A.R.E. sends food packages to European and Asiatic countries. The food varies with the nationality and customs of the people. C.A.R.E. also sends packages containing such articles as soap and blankets to these countries.
The committee on friendly relations among foreign students helps students from other countries when they first come to the United States. It meets students at ports of entry, sees that they find temporary quarters and aids them in making travel arrangements.
Closer to home is the work of the Lawrence Community chest. It supports the Lawrence branches of the Salvation army and the Boy and Girl Scouts. It supervises the Lawrence Mental Health clinic. On campus it helps finance the Y.W.C.A., the Y.M.C.A., and the Lawrence Housing office.
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis maintains research clinics and hospitals. It also makes grants of aid to persons stricken with infantile paralysis and aids in their rehabilitation.
The sixth organization in the drive is the World Student Service fund, through which students in this country help students in European and Asiatic countries. The organization supplies X-ray plates for tuberculosis hospitals, and dental equipment.
String Quartet To Play Tonight
The Hungarian String quartet will open the University Chamber music series at 8 p.m. today in Strong auditorium.
The program will be as follows: "Quartet in A Major" (de Arriaga), "Quartet in F Minor, Op. 95" (Beethoven), and "Quartet in D Major" (Franck).
Engineers Have Microwave Lab
A radio wave short enough to rest in the palm of your hand is being experimented with in the new microwave laboratory of the electrical engineering department at the University of Kansas.
Dr. Chai Yeh, professor of electrical engineering, and James Wolf, assistant professor of electrical engineering, are setting up the new equipment with microwaves next semester when the microwave laboratory course is added to the electrical engineering curricula.
The ordinary radio broadcast wave length is about 300 yards long
Television and radar are two of the many possible uses for microwaves. They could be used to relay television in place of a coaxial cable, the present connecting link between stations. Radar is fundamentally a system of microwaves.
Housewives in the future may use microwaves to broil steaks. Food can be cooked evenly inside and out with the waves.
The microwaves are piped around like water. During the past war plumbers installed microwave equipment on ships. The four-inch waves have a frequency 3,000 times greater than ordinary radio waves. Microwaves cannot be conducted by copper wire. Wave guides made of rectangular brass pipe $1 \frac{1}{2}$ by 3 inches are used to guide the beams in the University laboratory. They are projected in the desired direction through a brass horn.
Microwave antennaes 1 inch long serve the same purpose as radio towers.
University Rule On Drinking Model For Dormitory Rule
WEATHER
KANSAS—Ideal fall weather is forecast for Kansas the next few days. The forecast calls for generally fair weather today, tonight and Tuesday.
No uniform ruling has been established for sororities, but their policies are similar to the dormitory regulations. All pledges are forbidden to drink in Douglas county and outside the county if they intend to return to the chapter house afterward.
The rules governing drinking in dormitories are elaborations of the University rule which forbids the "possession of alcoholic beverages at any University function, or on the premises of any organized house, or in rooms in private residences."
afterward.
Active members in 7 of the 12 sororities are also denied the right to drink in the county. Every house makes an exception in the case of cocktail parties in private homes.
"Disorderly conduct resulting from drinking" is punishable in the same manner in each dormitory according to an Inter-Dormitory council ruling. The offender of the ruling receives a warning from an executive board after the first offense, a weekend campus and a letter to the offender's parents after the second offense, and is removed from the house after the third offense.
Five sororities list a number of places within the county where their activities may drink. They felt they were unable to enforce a rule for bidding the drinking of beer in the county, and that by approving a limited number of places they had created a rule which was more flexible and more easily enforced.
Fines, confinement to house, and letters home are used in different proportions for punishment of violations in almost all of the houses.
The repeal of prohibition was cited by six sorority presidents as having resulted in more lenient regulations.
The strongest punishment is a $10 fine, a week's campus, and a letter home for the first offense; a $25 fine, a two weeks' campus, and another letter home for the second offense; and the lifting of the pin for the third offense.
31 Women Vie For Queen Title At Tea
Thirty-one University women competed for the title of 1949 Homecoming queen at a tea in the Union Sunday. The name of the queen and her two attendants will be announced at the Jayhawk Follies Friday night in Hoch auditorium.
Candidates were judged on "beauty, personality, and other queenly attributes the judges believed to be important in selecting a Homecoming queen," said Emil L. Telfel, chairman of the Homecoming queen committee.
"We are just as nervous as you are," the judges, two University instructors and three Lawrence businessmen, frankly admitted to the queen candidates.
Each candidate was escorted into the Kansas room where she was given a cluster cor�age of white chrysanthemums tied with white ribbon. A card bearing a number and her first name was pinned below her corsage.
Tension mounted as the women assembled outside the Pine room where the judges were waiting.
The women were then divided into five groups. A judge joined each group and began an informal conversation to test more accurately the poise and personality of the would-be queens. The groups were rotated every 10 minutes so that each judge had ample time to become acquainted with the various candidates.
Coffee and cookies were served while the judges mingled with the contestants. The judges then adjourned to the Kansas room where they deliberated on their choices. One judge said that it was a "very tough job because we have never seen 31 women who were more qualified to be Homecoming queen."
The five judges took ballot after ballot until they narrowed their choices to seven candidates who appeared on the final ballots. These ballots were tabulated on the basis of four for first, three for second, two for third, and one for fourth.
Look Out, Girls Thief In Action
The woman who will be queen received 13 votes; runner up, 11; and third place. 8. Mr. Telfel said.
The patie purloiner of the University of Kan is on the rampage again. Coaintains were received by police from four victims last week. Since that time a student at Monchonsia hall reported underclothing was removed from the line behind the house.
Details of the tea and judging were worked out by Mr. Telfel, Jack Wichert, and Theodore Wagner, members of the Homecoming queen committee. They were assisted by the following student committee members: Robert Carl, journalism senior; Gerald R. Friedeman, and Mary F. Hercules, business seniors; Picard, Perkins, maries junior; Kathleen O'Connor and Marvin L. Rowlands, journalism seniors.
Reports indicate that the purlorer has been active since shortly before school started this fall. Women living in unorganized houses, in dormitories, and faculty women at Sunnyside have quietly suffered the loss of underthings from clotheslines.
The case is reminiscent of similar incidents in '47, when women of Jolliffe hall revealed the theft of nearly 70 articles, and other organized houses were also hard hit.
Best Judge Given Tinfoil Crown
A judging contest took a novel twist when 31 University women competing for the *Homecoming queen title* Sunday decided to prove that turn-about is fair play. When the contest was finished, the candidates voted for the most outstanding judge.
In an unrehearsed mock ceremony the "most outstanding" judge was presented a silver crown made of tinfoil taken from cigarette packages. He was also given an inscribed coffee cup trophy and was promised a kiss by a woman who, it was later revealed, was his wife.
Names of judges were not released so that they cannot be telephoned by candidates, their friends, or relatives. The judges' names will be published when the Homecoming queen and her attendants are announced.
A girl's football game, a soap box derby, and a class gift were among the things discussed at a meeting Sunday of officers and committee chairmen of the class of '50.
Class Of '50 Plans Gift
The meeting was held at the home of Dean and Mrs. L.C. Woodruff, and also included Miss Margaret Habeim, dean of women; Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women; Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary; Mrs. Ellsworth; Donald K Alderson, assistant dean of men and Mrs. Alderson.
A football game between two women teams, complete with would-be cheerleaders, coaches, and half-time activities, is being planned as part of Senior Class day to be held next spring. Also, plans are being made so soap box derby down Mississippi street, said Charles Steeper, activities chairman. The class day may be a two-day event.
An information booth, ink fountain, swimming pool, and campus clocks were among those things suggested as gifts to the University from the class of '50. Arrangements will be made for students with ideas to make suggestions for the class gift, said Robert Bennett, gift chairman. There will be an attempt to get as many suggestions for the gift as possible.
Among other things discussed were an old-fashioned cake walk, a satirical class prophecy booklet, and dramatization of the class history. The next meeting, to be held Sunday, Dec. 4, will include all members of the various senior class committees as well as those present at the Sunday meeting.
Lane Opposes US Assistance To Yugoslavia
Bv KAY O'CONNOR
The United Staes should not give aid to Yugoslavia until Tito makes good his promises of free elections, restoration of the four freedoms, and release of political prisoners.
This was the opinion expressed by Arthur Bliss Lane, former United States ambassador to Poland, at it. In 2013 this morning in Eoch auditorium.
"I do not believe that in helping Tito we are benefiting the interests of the U.S. or Europe," he said. "I cannot approve of the United States giving Yugoslavia a 3 million dollar airplane and limited air plane equipment until Tito keeps those promises made at the Teheran conference in 1943.
To send these goods now implies that the U.S. approves Tito's policies, just as did the 90 million dollars we sent to Poland during the Soviet appeasement period after the war, he commented.
Tito now has the second strongest army and secret police in Europe. He has no non-communist members in his government. He has confiscated American property in Yugoslavia without making any compensation for it. He has fettered elections and taken many political prisoners.
"If we are to assume a position of morality internationally, we can not afford to be known as the countryside poet. The Atlantic pact," Mr. Lane said.
The former ambassador traced the development of Soviet and Tito control of Yugoslavia. He commented that we should have recognized Tito's attitude toward the United States by his Tito.
When the Yugoslavs revolted after their government signed a pact with the nazis, it was Mihailovich who led them and took a band to the hills to fight the invading Nazis. In 1946 Tito had him executed as a "pro-Nazi."
In 1947 the Cominform (Communist Information bureau) was established in Belgrade. During the war the U.S.S.R. had stopped public action of this bureau to cut down criticism in the democratic countries. With the cold war it started the Cominform again.
The break between Stalin and Tito came when late in 1947 the U.S.S.R. determined upon a more drastic policy of collectivization and control of peasants. Tito felt that Yugoslavia was "not ready" for this development and he resisted it. He was the only satellite strong enough to do so, for he was the only one who controlled his army and secret police.
Miss Skinner Satirizes Heiress, Artist In Sketches
By EDWARD J. CHAPIN
Taking a quick glance at the foibles of American women, Cornelia Otis Skinner, actress and authorex, produced a few hilarious moments in her satirical monologues Nov. 11 in Fraser theat
Miss Skinner was not altogether original in her subject matter, nor did she hesitate to place her characters in time-worn situations.
The American housewife in Paris trying out her newly-acquired French on "garcon" may have amused more scholarly members of the audience unaccustomed to such standard routines, but it left sympathetic French I students cold.
Miss Skinner was entertaining in the sketch in which she assumed the character of a Boston club woman, just back from Arizona to lecture
club members on the vanishing Indian.
Romping around the stage like Betty Hutton, she performed a stage-shaking war dance and later froze as stiff as a cigar-store Indian while club members presumably inspected her moccasins.
Other scenes which Miss Skinner satirized were the too-rich heiress vacationing on the Riviera, a mother telling her son the facts of life, and the Parisian artist.
Miss Skinner took three curtain calls.
