Ebright Loan Fund Started
Law students may obtain loans of $250 at two per cent interest from the A. M. Ebright Memorial fund, said F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law.
Dean Moreau said friends of the late Judge Ebright of Wichita and Bartlesville, Okla., have set up a memorial fund in his memory. The fund was started shortly after Judge Ebright's death a year and a half ago. Approximately $2,500 already has been collected:
Any law student interested in obtaining financial assistance of this kind should make application by writing a letter to Dean Moreau. He will write to the board of trustees to make arrangements for the loan.
Dean Moreau said no student had applied for a loan, but any can do so at any time.
The student will have 10 years to repay the loan, Dean Moreau said. Judge Austin M. Cowan of the supreme court at Topeka and trustee of the fund is available for conference at any time.
Other trustees are Mrs. Ebright, John H. Kane, and F. H. Bacon, all of Bartlesville, Okla., and P. K. Smith, Wichita.
All persons wishing to make donations to the fund should contact any of these members of the board of trustees or see Dean Moreau.
Apologizes For Painting
A letter of apology connection with the daubing of sidewalks at the University has been received by the campus student council at Kansas State college.

Officials at Kansas State declined to divulge the names of students involved, but said the 18 would be expected to pay for the damage. An estimate of the damage has been fixed at approximately $50.

Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, welcomed approximately 50 deans and advisors to the 32nd annual state conference of the Kansas Association of Deans of Women and Advisors to Girls at 10:30 a.m. today in the Pine room of the Union.
Dr. Lewis Robbins, Menninger foundation, spoke on "Trends in Women's Education." He said we are now at the climax of the great conflict of marriage versus career.
"No longer is the cradle the symbol of womanhood but the lipstick, mirror, and girdle." Dr. Robbins said. "Colleges are now preparing women for professions, sophication, and cultural aspects of life.
"College graduates fail to produce enough children to replace themselves." When asked if it wasn't the right of a college graduate to produce works of art Dr. Robbins demanded, "What is more beautiful than a healthy child?"
Mrs. Will Menninger, Topeka,
spoke on "The Counsellor Helps
Herself."
Discussion followed Dr. Robbins speech...

'Hamlet' Will Be Nov. 2,3,4,And 5
The play, cut in length and reduced to half the usual number of scenes, will be directed by Professor Crafton, Jessica Crafton, Robert Calderwood,* and Frances Feist, who spent the summer acting in the New York production of "Harvey." Thomas M. Shay, instructor in speech and drama, is building a set for the play so scenes may be changed in about two minutes.
The presentation of "Hamlet" by the department of speech and drama, scheduled to begin on Monday Oct. 25, has been postponed to Tuesday, Nov. 2, Allen Craftton, chairman of the department, announced today.
A new curtain for Fraser theater, donated by the class of 1948, will be installed this weekend. The old curtain, which had been in use for twenty years, cost one-tenth the price of the replacement. An interesting sideline on the curtains is that "Hamlet" was the first play presented after the old curtain was hung.

Ticket sales will begin Thursday, Oct. 28, in green hall. The play will run for four nights.
An informal bridge party will be held by the University club in the club rooms at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Jayhawks Gunning For Second In Five

Specialist To Check Hearing
Students whose physical examinations indicated defective hearing may have their ears, nose and throat re-checked by Dr. E. L. Gann, otology specialist from Kansas City, any Thursday afternoon in Watkins Memorial hospital. The examinations are being made as part of the University Health service.
Dr. Gann said Thursday the ear tests are being made to find the students with hearing defects. He will then try to discover the cause and recommend a correction or treatment to prevent advancement of the defect.
Dr. Gann was graduated in 1937 from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and took his internship at Baines Hospital there. After serving several years in the Army Medical corps he entered Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore, Md., in 1945. He took three years of post graduate work in diseases of the ear. He is now associated with Dr. Laverne B Spake, associate professor of otorhinolaryngology, at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City.
The greatest number of hearing impairments seems to be the inability of the men to hear high pitched tones, Dr. Gann said. This may have been caused by the loud noises to which some men were subjected while in service.
Nine women passed the distance swimming requirement, the second in a series of three tests, for membership in the Quack club in Robinson gymnasium last night.
Quack Club Qualifies 9
Miss Ruth Hoover, club advisor,
said that other qualified students
would take the test tomorrow. Each
member must swim 15 lengths of the
50-foot pool.
The first test was held Oct. 8. Candidates demonstrated the front crawl, back crawl, side stroke, breast stroke and surface dive. In November, they will take the final test for membership in which they must do the standing front dive, running front dive, and back or front jackknife.
The students who passed, as announced by Miss Hoover, are Rita Carl, Nancy Cole, Sammy Cubbin, Ann Gage, Ann Hendershot, Barbara Ramsey, Helen Steinbuchel, Nancy Van Beber, and Allene Wenke.
Women's Glee Club Holds Picnic
Committees for the Women's Glee club were appointed at a picnic held Thursday at Potter lake.
Committees and members appointed by Miss Irene Peabody, director, were Joan Ausherman and Marilyn Lee, games; and Jacquelyn Baum, Nancy Sandeln, and Zelina Higginbottom, food.
Falkenstien, sports director for the station, will give a play-by-play description of the contest. The broadcast will commence with the kickoff at 7:30 p.m., central time.
Tenight's game will mark the fifth football game between the two schools. The last contest was in 1940.
The Kansas队 has won only one of the four previous tilts. That win came in 1933, when the Jayhawkers blanked the Colonials seven to nothing. George Washington university won all three games of a series from 1938-40.
The Kansas varsity will be up against one of the top offensive whirlwinds of the nation in the game tonight. The team boasts a top-notch running and passing back named Andy Davis. Davis was instrumental in a 20 to 12 Georgia Washington win over heavily favored Virginia last week. The Virginia team had gained recognition on the Associated Press sportswriter's poll before they were toppled.
The University varsity will not spend all their time in Washington playing football. They will see the University of Missouri vs. Navy game in Baltimore Saturday. Also, a sightseeing trip is planned for the team.
University footballers arrived in Washington Thursday. They had a work-out in Griffith stadium under the lights to relieve aches and pains from the long train ride.
The team will leave for Lawrence just after the Missouri-Navy game. They will arrive here at 5 p.m. Sunday.
There will be a large number of University alumni and boosters at the game. Alumni from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and areas surrounding Washington will attend the game. In addition, a number of Lawrence persons will attend.
A dinner will be held preceding the contest in Washington's Sheraton hotel for alumni and friends. A pep rally will be staged at this affair featuring K.U. songs and the famous "Rock Chalk" yell. A special section will be reserved for Kansas rooters at the game.
Lawrence guests include: Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott, Mrs. Jules Sikes, Mrs. Michael Getto, and Fred Ellsworth, alumni association secretary. More than 150 persons are expected to attend the dinner.
Coffee Planned By AWS Saturday
The Senate of the Associated Women Students decided Thursday to have a coffee at 9 a.m. tomorrow in the English room of the Union for members of the A.W.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
In order to interest more women in participating in the A.W.S. activi-
vity will visit all unorganized houses in which more than eight girls live.
The board is also making out a list of activities in which women indicated interest during registration. In this way it hopes to draw more women into activities for which they are best suited.
