Quick Solution On Arms Aid Program Seen
Washington, Sept. 26—(U.P.)-Foreign affairs experts in congress hoped today to bring about a quick agreement on the arms aid program, approved in different versions by the house and senate.
Spurred by news of the Russian atomic blast, Chairman John McKee, (D.-W.Va.) of the house foreign affairs committee called for an immediate meeting with senators to compromise the two versions. Chairman Tom Connally, (D.-Tex.), of the Senate foreign relations委员会 said the conference might get underway later today.
Connally said impact of the Soviet explosion improved prospects for approval of the full $1,314,010,000 passed by the senate rather than the $819,-505,000 passed by the house.
The chief house-senate difference to be ironed out was the spending figure for aid to pact nations in Western Europe. The senate voted a flat one billion dollars for the pact nations. The house trimmed this item to $580,495,000. The senate also wrote in an optional fund of 75 million dollars from which President Truman can draw to aid non-Communist China if he wishes.
Other congressional developments:
Atomic: Chairman Clarence Cannon of the house appropriations committee said the Soviet atomic blast would make no difference in U.S. defense spending. "We have been prepared to repel attack for some time," the Missouri Democrat said.
Communists: Sen. Herbert R. O'Conor, (D-Md.), came up with a five-point program to strengthen immigration laws to cut off the flow of Communist agents in and out of the United States. His program would relieve the immigration service of all but law enforcement duties and would provide for closer cooperation between immigration officers here and U.S. consuls abroad.
Farm: Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.), predicted the senate would agree to his compromise farm price support bill calling for flexible supports between 75 and 90 per cent of parity.
Military Pay Raise: The senate was expected to approve today a $302,000,000 pay raise for servicemen.

A Good Place To Relax Found In Music Room
Most students welcome the chance to relax. Often during the day they have spare minutes with no place to go. At such times the Memorial union music room comes in handy.
The music room first offered its comfort and pleasant surrou-
ings in '18, following a grant from Andrew Carnegie. Five-hun-
Glee Club Holds Tryouts Today
Tryouts for the K.U. Men's Glee Club will be held from 4 to 6 p.m.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 27
and 28. Room 131 in Strong hall will be used for the tryouts.
"If you really like to sing don't hesitate coming out," Dale Ferguson, president of the club said. "You needn't be a Caruso or a fine arts major. The glee club is strictly for enjoyment and relaxation between stuffy classroom hours."
Debate Tryouts On Thursday
Forensic league activities for the year will get under way with a league meeting Tuesday and debate tryouts Thursday.
The league will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the English room of the Union to discuss activities it will feature during 1949-50. These activities include intercollegiate debate, intramural speech programs, and the expansion and development of a speaker's bureau.
Try-outs for a debate on the question "Should we have nationalization of industries" will begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Green auditorium. Debaters should have a five-minute speech for either side of the question prepared for the try-outs.
"This year the forensic outlook is as bright and promising as anytime in the past," commented E. C. Buehler, professor of public speaking. He is beginning his 25th year teaching speech at the University.
"We will make a real effort this year to give forensic experience, especially in contest debating, to a greater number of K.U. students," Professor Buehler said. "We feel that there is much fine forensic talent on the campus that needs to be uncovered."
Students interested in debate should contact Kim Griffin, assistant professor of speech, or Professor Buehler.
The dinner, sponsored by the deans of the various schools, was held in the Kansas room of the Union. Mrs. Malott and the wives of the deans were guests. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harris, Ottawa, representing the board of regents were also present. Mr. Harris is chairman of the board of regents.
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, presented to Chancellor Malott a painting of a western scene. Raymond Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting, painted the picture.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott was entertained Sept. 23 at a dinner given in honor of his 10th anniversary as chancellor of the University.
Dr. Chowla To Speak Today
Dr. S. Chowla, visiting professor of mathematics, will speak on "Combinatorial Problems" at a meeting of the Math colloquium at 5 p.m. today in 203 Strong hall.
Malott Celebrates 10th Anniversary
classical and semi-classical records, six volumes of Graves dictionary, a record machine and a speaker were provided in the grant.
As time passed, the records wore out, and a budget was allotted for a new record library. Part of the new selections were made in accordance with suggestions by students, Miss Hermina Zipple, union manager said.
In 1947 a browsing room was added with $400 allowed each year for purchase of a permanent reading library. Selection of these books are made by a committee appointed by the Student Union activities together with a faculty adviser.
During World War II the original room, now the East room on the third floor, was used as a service club.
Part of the collection includes best-sellers, as well as a backlog of many selections for the permanent library.
No records have been kept, in the past, as to the number of students using the room, but a checking system will be inaugurated this year by Mrs. Abbey Henry, program director. Miss Zippe said.
It is hoped that in the proposed new wing, a large and separate browsing room will be available.
Jupiter Gives Unique Show
A large number of townspeople and students saw one of Jupiter's 11 moons pass in front of the planet during the observatory open house at Lindley hall on the evening of Sept. 23.
The moon was not visible in front of the planet, but many of the observers were able to see the shadow of the moon on the planet during that period.
Also seen were the parallel belts across the diameter of Jupiter that astronomers believe are caused by the high speed of rotation of the planet. Jupiter, largest of the planets, shines with reflected sunlight and is second only to Venus in brightness.
The show was made to order for the observers. The moon started across Jupiter at 7:34 p.m. and passed the opposite rim of the planet at 9:51 p.m.-just within the 7:30-10 p.m. m. hours set for the open house.
The astronomy open house was the first of the fall season. The telescope was in charge of Don Monger, College junior, and Robert Brownley, graduate student. Dr N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, said other viewings would be held in the near future.
J. Eldon Fields To Head Proctors
Professor Gibson will devote his time in sociology and human relations, including off-campus work in human relations.
Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science, is turning over his duties as director of proctors in Western Civilization to J. Eldon Fields, assistant professor of political science.
Paul Lawson, dean of the College, confirmed the announcement of the change.
To Hold Tryouts For Glee Club
Tryouts for the University Women's Glee club will begin at 3:30 p.m. today in 130 Strong hall, Miss Irene Feabody, associate professor of voice and director of the group, has announced.
Tuesday will be the last day of the tryouts. They will also begin at 3:30 p.m. in 130 Strong hall, Miss Peabody said.
Rhodes Names Due Oct.25
Applications for the 1949 Rhodes scholarships to the University of Oxford in October, 1950 should be made at the Graduate school office before Oct. 25, J. H. Nelson, dean of the school announced today.
"Only those with excellent records and who are well-rounded in their interests have any chance of being selected." Dean Neison said.
To be eligible an applicant must be (1) unmarried and a male citizen of the United Sates, (2) between the ages of 19 and 25, and (3) have completed at least his sophomore year by the time of application.
Thirty-two appointments from the United States will be made from the applications. The scholarships are awarded for two years and a possible third year if the student's record and plan of study made it advisable.
Two candidates from Kansas were selected in the past year. They were William J. Barber from Abilene, who was attending Harvard university and Thad Marsh, Lawrence, from the University.
Mr. Marsh left for England Sept. 17 to take advantage of the scholarship. He graduated with a 2.82 grade average.
Dr. Emory Lindquist, president of Bethany college, is secretary of the Kansas committee on selection for the Rhodes scholarships. Dean Nelson, chairman of the University committee on the scholarships, asks those who believe they can qualify to come to his office for an interview.
161 Students Enroll Late
Late enrollments of 161 students the past week increased the University's enrollment to 8,754, James K. Hitt. registrar, reported today.
Attendance on the Lawrence campus has gone to 8,320. There were no late enrollments at the Kansas City division of the School of Medicine, where the resident students total is 434.
Hitt said there have been a few more students registering late this year than in the previous three post-war years. However he expects few more enrollees and predicts that the official attendance record as of Nov. 1 will vary little from today's total.
Tickets Still Left For Spike Jones
Students were given first chance at the tickets. They are on sale at the bursar's office, 121 Strong hall, and they will be sold downtown starting today. Mr. Elsworth said.
Over one-half the tickets to the Spike Jones Musical Depreciation show Tuesday, Oct. 4, have been sold, Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary said this morning.
The proceeds from the show will be used in building the memorial campanile. "There are lots of good seats left," Mr. Ellsworth said.
