India Gives Up Council Seat
Lake Success, N.Y.—(UP)—India withdrew today from the long fight with the Soviet Ukraine for the 11th seat on the United Nations Security Council.
Five staff members of the Kansas Engineer left today for Wichita where they will study phases of airplane production at the Boeing Cessna, and Beechcraft plants Thursday and Friday.
The decision, announced by Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit of the Indian delegation, resolved in Russia's favor one of the bitterest American-Soviet deadlocks in the UN General Assembly. It assured the election of the Ukraine to succeed Poland on the Council Jan. 1.
in the court. She served notice that India proposed to raise this question formally at a later date.
Mrs. Pandit emphasized in her withdrawal that India is not accepting present geographical allocation of seats on the Security Council which she said "is so unfair to Asia and leaves such vital and well defined areas without representation in the council."
The UN General Assembly arranged to meet tomorrow to ratify formally the election of the Ukraine to the vacant Council seat.
Thursday
Making the tour will be Joe Beeeler,
editor of the magazine, Fred Gartung, Joann Ruese, and Barbara Hurue, all engineering juniors.
Engineer Staff To Study Aircraft
John Thiele, feature editor said the trip is to give the staff stories about aircraft manufacturing.
Program Represents Education Week
"Where Do We Go From Here?" a 30-minute dramatization of the conflict over reorganization of the Kansas rural school system, was presented over K. F. K. U. Tuesday night as a special feature of education week.
The program described difficulties that were encountered by the legislature and education officials when they attempted to do away with one-teacher schools in the state.
The program was written and directed by Richard Courtney. He appeared with Loren Kennedy, graduate student, as narrator.
Highlight of the program was the dramatization of the battle in the state supreme court which resulted in declaring the rural reorganization bill unconstitutional.
To Lead Conga Line
Bolivar Marquez will lead the conga line at the "Conga Capers" to be held at 7:30 tonight in the Union ballroom. The dance will be sponsored by the Independent Students association.
Sigma Tau Elects Forty-Six
Forty-six men were elected to join the Sigma Tau fraternity at its meeting last week. Initiation of new members will be November 24.
Those Band Uniforms May Be Ready Nov. 22
Those new band uniforms will be here someday, but not for the All-Musical Vespers Sunday, Prof. Russell Wiley said today. The girls will wear formals and the boys dark suits.
If there are no further delays, the uniforms should be delivered for the Homecoming game with Missouri Nov. 22, Professor Wiley said.
The band will play at the convocation Friday when Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska will speak.
K Club Will Reorganize
The Kansas Letterman's club, known as the "K" club, is going to reorganize after a year of inactivity, according to Harold Moore, engineering senior and track letterman, who is leading the reorganization drive. In a letter addressed to all lettermen, Moore stated that the first meeting will be held at 7:30, Thursday, in Lindley hall auditorium. He also asked that every letterman attend if at all possible.
KU Architects Are Also Music Lovers As Radios Entertain In Lindley Annex
Problems of natural lighting, heat and health factors in building construction can be better studied by architects today with the recent development of the sun machine.
According to Moore, the biggest trouble in keeping the "K" club's activities moving smoothly is the tendency toward the formation of cliques among each individual sport. He believes that the differences can be ironed out, and K. U. lettermen can become a worthwhile organization.
"Not since before the war have the athletes been a real influence upon campus activities as a group," Moore said, "although an attempt was made to reorganize the lettermen last year."
The heliodon, or sun machine, at the University is the only one of its kind in the world. Designed by Prof. George M. Beal of the School of Architecture and Engineering, it is used by the architectural students for studying natural lighting conditions.
Professor Designs Only Sun Machine
A model home, for example, is placed on a glass table base. Then a powerful floodlight, representing the sun, is turned on and adjusted to any desired latitude over the model. The adjustments to various latitudes give the architect an opportunity to study the angle of the real sun's rays in any given spot on the earth.
58 Enrolled In Secretarial Class
Fifty-eight persons have enrolled in the Secretarial Techniques course sponsored by the Jayhawk chapter of the National Secretaries association, Mr. Quincy Atha, field representative of University Extension said today.
Additional enrollees are expected when the first class session is held at 7:15 tonight in 103 Frank Strong.
The majority of those enrolled are from Lawrence business offices. In many instances, the fee for the course has been paid by the employer. Mr. Atha said.
The only place on the campus where learning and listening to music is combined—outside of the School of Fine Arts—is in Lindley annex.
While drawing, future architectural engineers enjoy over the radio the "relaxing and pleasant" language of the poets.
" 'Ma Perkins,' 'Bride for a Day, and 'Life Can be Beautiful,' is out," Earl Gerharter, engineering senior said. "We don't want to know what happened to 'Our Gal Portia' when she faced 'Widow Brown.' Our favorites are Arthur Godfrey and Fred
"To satisfy him we've got to listen to them too, because he's the biggest guy in the class." Den Noyes, engineering sophomore remarked.
Harold Stewart, engineering sophomore, enjoys listening to the Oklahoma Hillbilly Ramblers.
Waring."
"Everybody agrees that music is enjoyable to listen to while working in the drawing class. However, we don't listen to long-haired music; we get too nervous. The semi-classical kind is the most soothing."
Major Fight On Foreign Aid
Washington—(UP)—The Administration bumped into strong Republican opposition today on its plan to ask congress for $2,567,000,000 in new funds for Europe and the Far East during the next seven months.
A major fight to trim the total appeared certain. Chairman Robert A Taft of the Senate Republican policy committee said he was "absolutely opposed" to the "excessive" proposals and that he would present his case to his committee at a meeting tomorrow.
The coming battle concerned not the need for aid but the amounts. Senate and house committees dealing with foreign affairs approved a report holding that communist "demagogy and sabotage" made American assistance imperative to war ravaged democracies abroad.
Secretary of state George C. Marshall said today that the present estimate of $597,000,000 in emergency aid to Europe probably would have to be boosted if congressional approval is delayed too long.
He said he thought the emergency aid program shoul be approved this month and the long-range Marshall plan by early March.
'Hitler-Imitator,' Vishinsky Charges
At the 30th anniversarya dinner of the Foreign Press Association Tuesday, Vishinsky cited as an example "a statement by one of the most prominent American statesmen published in the New York Times of June 24, 1941," which said:
New York-(UP)—Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky, in a thinly veiled attack upon President Truman, charged the "imitators" of Hitler with "propagandizing the same crazy ideas" to destroy Russia as the former Nazi led did
"If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many as possible . . . "
That statement was made by Mr. Truman, then senator from Missouri, two days after Germany attacked Russia, Vishinkisdy did not mention the President's name, nor did he finish the quotation which ended, ".. although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances. Neither of them think anything of their pledged word."
Mix Is Mixed Up In Gas Explosion
During the game, the jet in the hot water heater went out, permitting gas to collect in the jacket. Not wishing to miss the game, he rushed to the basement and thrust a match in without waiting for the gas to thin out.
A casualty of the Nebraska game was Dr. A. J. Mix, head of the botany department, even though he stayed at home.
"I got to hear the end of the game though and thought I would lose my mind during those closing minutes," said Dr. Mix.
Result: a nicely done left hand with second-degree burns.
Should Register Now For Aptitude Test
November 15 will be the last day for registering for the Professional Aptitude test for entry in the School of Medicine. All students wishing to enter the School of Medicine in the fall of 1948 are required to register at the Guidance Bureau for this examination.
Research Director To Speak To Chamber Of Commerce
Harold Vagtborg, director of the Midwest Research institute at Kansas City, Mo., will speak at the general membership meeting of the Lawrence chamber of commerce at 12:30 tomorrow in the Hotel Eldridge
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, will have charge of the program.
Enjoy A Rest On A $1 A Day — Get Sick And Go To Watkins
"Hey, Bud, tell the landlady that I'm going to the hospital and won't be out for a couple of weeks," calls the ailing student to his roommate.
He takes along his suitcase, portable radio, and a week's supply of books, all of which he thoughtfully collected for a long visit. He is a member of the minority. Only one of every three patients moves in "bag and baggage" when admitted to Wat- kins hospital.
Contrary to the misleading story told freshmen by upper classmen that "once in the hospital, you'll never get out," the average stay is about three and a half days. An appendectomy requires only five days today. A few years ago it took 10 or 12.
The lowest average stay for each student was 2.8 days in 1929 and 1930. From 1942 to 1945, the average rose to 4.7. A large number of army and navy students were required to go back on active duty upon release
Winter is here. For proof look at the construction shack west of Watson library.
With modern methods of heating, the campus had lost the pleasant, cozy look associated with smoke curling from a chimney. But the wooden construction shack has brought back some of that atmosphere.
Free tickets for the student-faculty parties, Nov. 19, may be obtained tomorrow and Friday in Frank Strong hall and Student Union. Independent Student association will be in charge of distribution.
May Get Passes To Free Parties
Robert Hamilton and James Peterson were appointed publicity cochairmen at the ISA meeting, Monday night.
The building has a chimney, and early in the mornings smoke pours from it, reminding the student to turn his coat collar up, and to hurry a little faster towards his classroom, where he can be warmed by a fire and the comradeship of fellow students.
Winter? Of Course! See The Smoke?
Revision of sections of the ISA constitution were discussed.
Funeral Services Held For Dr. Preyer
Funeral services for Carl A. Pree-
er, professor emeritus of the School
of Fine Arts, were held this afternoon at the Congregational church in Lawrence. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery.
All music classes in the School of Fine Arts were dismissed for the funeral.
Professor Preyer died Nov. 10 at the age of 84. He had been active for 52 years as a teacher of piano and as head of the School of Fine Arts piano department.
Laboratory Assistant Dies
At Home This Morning
E. C. Ricketts, 57, laboratory assistant in the bacteriology department, died early this morning at his home, 1818 indiana street.
Mr. Ricketts had been on sick leave from the University since Oct. 1, 1943. He was a laboratory assistant for 23 years.
from the hospital. They remained in the hospital a day or two longer because they had no other place suitable for rest.
From 1946 to 1947 the average was 4.2 days. Many were pneumonia patients, although there were few minor colds. The average was raised by faculty members and families who were hospitalized for a longer time because of a chronic illness.
Come to think of it, where else except Watkins can you get room and board for $1 a day?

"An increased rate of reactions among students tested for tuberculosis has been noticeable since veterans have returned to school," Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, told the bacteriology club Tuesday.
Saturday: 2 p. m. to end of game, Kansas- Oklahoma A & M football game.
He said that the increase is a result of the slightly higher age group of the veterans. Many veterans who were not infected when they joined the armed forces returned as "reactors" after being exposed to the disease among the civilians of other countries.
The program schedule for the Union activities weekly radio series for the remainder of the week is: today, 6 to 6:15 p. m., Supper club, WDAF; 6:15 to 6:30 p.m., News of the World, WDAF; and Records, ac-activities.
Thursday; noon to 1 p.m., Records, activities; 5:30 to 6 p.m., Records, activities; 6 to 6:15 p.m., Supper club, WDAF; 6:15 to 6:30 p.m., News of the World, WDAF; and Records, tivities.
Dr. Canuteson showed x-rays taken by Watkins hospital and discussed methods used in diagnosing the disease among students.
Since 1932 all new students had been tuberculin-tested until the war made the acquisition of sufficient quantities of tuberculin difficult. At that time miniature X-ray machines came into general use and the slogan "Have your chest X-rayed" was popularized by the army. Until two years ago X-ray was the only method used. Now X-ray and testing both are used, Dr. Canuteson said.
meaty sticks will find the "heat's on." The supply of fuel oil by Dec. 1 will be 500,000 gallons as compared to 90,000 gallons at the same time last year. Although this may seem to be a big reserve, W. C. Sanderson, maintenance engineer at the power plant, thinks it will be gone by next spring.
Union Radio Series
It'll Be A Hot Time While The Fuel Lasts
Come winter and students and faculty alike will find the "heat's on."
He said the power plant was built to take care of an enrollment of 4,000 students and with more than twice that many now the plant will be strained to capacity this winter.
In addition, two of the boilers have been condemned for use except in an extreme emergency. A new boiler has been ordered but it will be next year before it will be in use.
Because of the increasing use of gas in heating private homes the University supply is limited throughout the coldest weather which further depletes the oil reserve, Mr. Sanderson said. He pointed out that in near zero weather the boilers burn 12,000 gallons of oil in a 24-hour period.
