Harry R. Hanson, engineering junior, pled guilty to a charge of obtaining a parking permit by fraud before the Student Court Tuesday night in green hall. Chief Justice Robert Foulston deferred judgment until the next court session, to be held December 2.
Charles F. Hall, first year law student, was Hanson's attorney. Hall entered a plea for leniency on the grounds that the defender had voluntarily gone to the dean of men and admitted his misdemeanor.
The court also heard appeals of parking violation charges by Robert G. Coshow, Max E. Hayes, and Arvon G. Gerstenberger. Five of six charges were upheld against Coshow, who was fired $7. Hayes was fined $5 on four of his six charges. One charge was upheld against Gerstenberger, but he was not fined as this was his first offense.
Three students failed to appear and charges against them were automatically upheld. They were: Marko L. Haggard, $7; Wilmer C. Andes, $1; and Leslie S. Thompson, a first offender.
William C. Elbrader, John S. Smith, and Daniel J. Westerman appealed fines imposed upon them for charges of violation last spring. Westerman said he did not know violations had been charged against him until he attempted to register this fall and was told he would have to pay an $11 fine before he could do so.
Ku Ku's To Escort Queen, Attendants
The parking space will be so limited visitors may have to leave their cars in the business section and walk the remaining distance to the stadium he reported. There will be no one-way drives and all parking space has been utilized. Drivers will just have to wait their turn and be patient if they want to leave the stadium in an orderly manner, Bliesner stated.
The police department has no record of a serious wreck at a football game and five or six motorcycle police will be on hand to maintain that record. "It would be an aid if students left their cars at their homes to make room for visitors." Chief Bliesner said. Campus Police On Duty
The campus police will have men on duty at the Union and Hoch auditorium Saturday morning. Following the game, a traffic officer will be on duty at the intersection of Mississippi and Jayhawk drive and at the circle at the end of Jayhawk drive, West Campus road traffic will be routed south, after the game, Robert Corwin, head of the K.U police said.
The homecoming queen and her attendants will be escorted by Rodney Armstrong, Victor Pirnie, and Eugene Innis during homecoming ceremonies this weekend. The party will sit in the Ku Ku section which will be reserved on the fifty yard line.
Also sitting with the Ku Ku's will be the Froshawks, the freshman pep organization, and a number of graduate lawyers who will be wearing spats, top hats, and carrying canes in the old traditional manner.
C. A. Bliesner, chief of Lawrence police, reported 32 extra traffic police would be added to the regular police staff to direct traffic at the game Saturday. Chief Bliesner reported 12,000 to 15,000 visiting automobiles are expected in Lawrence before the kickoff of the Kansas-Missouri game.
All parking permits with the exception of permits for Zone "T" will be honored but students are asked to leave their cars at residences.

'Blithe Spirit' Will Soar When U Players Take Over
Bigamy is a crime, but when the offense is unpremeditated and the poor chap is confronted by his two wives at the same time, he is more to be pitied than censured.

Madame Arcati, the medium, will be played by Joan Woodward, College senior. She is supposed to provide Charles with the background he needs for his writing, but she goes far beyond this and becomes anything but helpful. One of her first acts is to go into a seance and bring back Elvira's (wife number one) spirit. Elvira will be played by Bee Brady, College sophomore.
a bigamist in the next senior, plays the part of Charles Condomine, an author, who became wife returns from the spirit world a virtual bigamist when his first to make his life miserable with her antics.
The unhappy author worries around for several months, as the two wives trade punches, until he wishes that Adam's rib had been left alone. Finally, when on the verge of madness, he is rescued by Madame Arcati and Edith, Condomihie's maid, who discover a way to get rid of Elvira. Then, the routine of the household settles down to near-normal again. The maid is plowed by Vivian Rogers, College senior.

Short Spin Mixer Dance To Be Tighton In Union
Harlan Livingood and his orchestra will play for the dance.
The Armanav passed a resolution Tuesday to investigate the possibility of forming a junior all-student council. The council, independent of the all-student council, would be composed of groups interested in student activities with no campus political affiliations.
Admission will be 25 cents per person.
Under this plan representatives would be chosen from groups who have no voice in student affairs. This organization would act as a collective voice exerting pressure upon the all-student council, an Armanav officer said. Although the junior council would have no power it would give a more representative voice of campus organizations than the present political arrangement. Armanav officials reported.

Price Control Sidetracked
Washington - (UP) - The joint congressional economic committee today sidetracked President Truman's requests for price control and rationing power. It decided to give first consideration to other proposals in his anti-inflation program.
The committee's action indicated that Mr. Truman's request for emergency power to impose selective price control and rationing faced almost certain defeat in the hostile Republican-controlled congress.
Chairman Robert A. Taft announced that the committee would consider these points at the special session:
Three. Extension and strengthening of export controls.
One. Restoring controls on installment buying and restricting bank credit.
Four. Promoting the sale of livestock and poultry at weights and grades representing the most effective use of grain.
Two. Regulating commodity exchanges.
Five. Enabling the agriculture department to expand its conservation program and authorizing measures to increase foreign food production.
