UNESCO Plans Speech Events For UN Week
The science committee will work on an occupation file that will instruct future scientists on how they may work for peace.
The U.N.E.S.C.O. council will observe United Nations week beginning Sunday, by providing a series of talks by foreign students.
The speeches will be at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 18 to Thursday, Oct. 1 in the Kansan room of the Student Union. The speeches will be informative of the various countries presented by foreign students.
In addition a program of activities for the three committees of the U.N.E.S.C.O. council has been completed.
The cultural committee will sponsor a song contest open to all organizations, houses and groups. Each organ must be from a foreign country, sung in either English or in the country's native language. A trophy cup will be awarded the winner. This committee will also sponsor a scroll in Frank Strong hall signed by students as evidence of their faith in the United Nations. The education committee will have "coffee time" discussions with foreign students, and individual correspondence with students in other countries.
Dues have been set at 50 cents a member for the semester. Students interested in joining the organization should attend the next meeting or see Bruce Wilder, chairman of the council.

By Bibler
Investigation by campus officials of the painting of the large letters "K.S" on the sidewalks of the campus has not revealed any clue to who the offenders were. L. C. Wood-duff, dean of men, said that although "K.S" is an abbreviation for Kansas State this is not reason enough to place the blame on Kansas State students.
Eighty reservations have been made for the University alumni meeting to be held in Washington, D.C. Friday, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, said today.
Among those attending from Lawrence will be Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W, Malott, Mr. Elsworth, Dolph Simons, A.D. Weaver, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Carman, Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Constay, Mrs. J. V. Sikes, Mrs. M. J. Gatto and one of the football coaches, whose name will be announced later.
The white letters were painted at entrances to Hoch auditorium, Frank strong, Marvin, Snow and Fraser halls early Monday morning. The numerals reading "K-State 37, Arkansas 6" were still wet on the street in front of Fraser hall when persons with 8 o'clock classes first started arriving on the campus. Building and grounds workmen had all the paint removed by noon. A paint bucket and a large broom were found behind bushes near Green hall.

Miss Habein III With Pleurisy
Local Guards Drill Students
Miss Margaret Habein is at her home ill with pleurisy. She is expected to return in time for the 32nd annual meeting on Friday of the Kansas Association of Deans of Women and Advisors of Girls.
Thirty-five University students who are members of the National guard in other cities are doing drill each Tuesday night with Company H of the 137th Regiment, in Lawrence.
The men are released from their own companies on order from their commanding officers and allowed to drill with another company, Lt. Maurice H. Knott, commanding officer of Company H, said today.
Men in the National guard must attend a two-hour drill session each week to remain members. This system whereby a man may drill with another company when he is away allows the man to retain his status.
Bautista Murillo, College sophomore from Costa Rica who is publicity chairman of the club, said that its object is "to promote friendship and peace throughout the world." He added that membership is open to all students "who would like to meet congenial people from other countries and who wish to enjoy interesting programs prepared by the foreign students of this campus."
Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, will talk to the International club at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Student Union. He will talk on the role of the United States in international affairs.
status.
Those who enlisted in the National guard prior to the president's signing of the peace time draft act, are deferred from other peace time military service. Members of the National guard from this area go to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., for two weeks training maneuvers each summer.

First Humanities Lecture Tonight
Alexander Meiklejohn, educator, philosopher, and author, will speak on "Inclinations and Obligations" at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater. This is the first humanities lecture of the 1948-49 season.
He was a member of the United States delegation to London at which the charter for U.N.E.S.C.O. was formulated and recommended for adoption.
The lecture is free and is open to the public.
Students Aid In Registration
Students who wish to register in Douglas county to vote on the wet-dry amendment to the constitution can get free transportation to the city clerk's office by using the car pool set up in front of Frank Strong hall. Registration closes Oct. 22.
More than 20 automobiles will be available today.
Harold Knupp, College senior and DeWitt McCluggage, junior, are in charge of the car pool.
"This is practically a spontaneous move on the part of individuals." Knupp said. "No one organization is sponsoring the effort, although the main body of cars comes from members of the Young Republican's club."
Knupp and McCluggage are for repeal. They believe that about 80 per cent of the eligible student body will vote "yes" on the amendment.
"The bootleggers around Lawrence are making entirely too much money," McCluggage said. "Kansas is wet now. We might as well keep it under control."
A Kansas resident cannot vote absentee on constitutional amendments, according to the state attorney general's office. To vote for or against repeal, University students must declare Lawrence to be their legal residence and register here.
Payroll Warrants Arrive For Faculty
Distribution of faculty payroll warrants began Monday, Karl Klooz, bursar, said today. The warrants .which usually arrive about the middle of the month arrived Oct. 9.
Civil Service and student employee payroll warrants have not arrived yet, the bursar added. They are expected shortly.
Tells Of Bells At Alfred University Which Inspired Him To Be Carillonneur
To study carilloning in Belgium next year is the ambition of George Tappan, fine arts junior. He attended Alfred university in New York where a carillon has attracted many people from all parts of the United States. He is now studying music here and is interested in the carillon planned for K.U.
"Alfred university's earillon contains 35 ancient bells with an interesting history," Tappan said. They are 17th and 18th century bells, 18 of which were cast by Hemony, a famous name in bells, in 1674. They were originally on an estate in Europe, but before the first world war a family fled the estate because of political difficulties and the bells were buried on the estate.
Later a brother of the family returned, dug up 18 bells, and sold them to Michiels and Michaux company. Alfred university bought the bells for their carillon. There are still nine bells on the estate which the university hopes to get some day.
There are 16 bells in the carillon cast by Dumery in 1745, obtained from a church in Belgium. The last of the 35 bells was cast by Van den Gheyn in 1784.
The bell tower on the Alfred university campus is at the foot of a group of hills. The bells are played Friday evening for 45 minutes and a recital is given every Sunday afternoon. A rounded program of folk tunes, classical music, and modern pieces is played, Tappan added.
Annual Debates Of High Schools Begin Friday
The University will play host to Kansas high school debaters at its annual debate institute Friday and Saturday.
The debate question is: "Resolved, that the United Nations now be revised into a world government."
The student division of the United World Federalists is sending Dr. Vernon Nash, vice-president of the United World Federalists, and Bower Aly of the University of Missouri and editor of the "Debate Handbook."
Mr. Aly will discuss the more technical aspects of handling this topic from a debater's point of view, said Hobart Hanson, debate manager.
The chancellor replied that the "contract under which Mr. Cunningham has been speaking under the auspices of University Extension was signed a year ago and bookings arranged during the winter and spring. Subjects on which he was authorized to speak are 'Running Around the World,' 'Olympics of 36,' 'Fit to Win' and 'Life as a Stewardship.'
"Dr. Nash, a former Rhodes scholar, has traveled throughout the world studying this question," he added. "He will have a great deal of valuable information and bibliography to contribute to the debates."
Mr. Aly will bring M.U.'s debate team to compete with K.U.'s debaters in a demonstration debate at 7 p.m. Friday. Following this practice debate there will be criticisms by competent judges and an opportunity for questions from the audience.
The debates are sponsored by the Kansas High School Activities association. They are designed to encourage better participation in speech activities by Kansas high school students.
Newsmen Get Malott Reply
Great Bend, Oct. 12—(UP)—The Great Bend Tribune Monday published a telegram from Deane W. Malott, Chancellor of the University of Kansas, in answer to the newspaper's query as to Glenn Cunningham's status in the University Extension.
The newspaper asked Chancellor Malott about Mr. Cunningham's status as a result of recent talks by the famed miler. The paper said that those talks have drawn editorial fire because of his prohibition stand.
Chancellor Malott said that "we do not have any speakers on the University Extension roster to discuss the liquor question although Mr. Cunningham would presumably have any citizen's right to express himself to his youthful audiences as part of discussing any of the above subjects."
The Tribune said editorially that officials of University Extension "must have been naive indeed to book Mr. Cunningham for a speaking tour if they consider that they had no 'speakers to discuss the liquor question.'"
By the same token, the editorial continued. "Officials of the school where Mr. Cunningham was to speak must have been just as naive if they were surprised when his talks turned into pleas for prohibition."
