War Memorial To Be Boosted At Homecoming
A speaker will direct the attention of the audience to the display just before the "Star Spangled Banner' is plaved.
Persons attending the homecoming football game with Missouri Nov. 22 will see a World War II memorial display behind Frank Strong hall on the site of the proposed campanile.
"White washed stones will spell in the words; 'this is the site of World War II memorial' or any other appropriate words which can be worked into the space," said Bruce Bathurst, chairman of the student memorial association committee.
A rocket or other fire works will be shot off from that spot if the size of the crowd on the hill doesn't interfere.
Red Barber To Assist
Collection centers for those wishing to contribute to the fund will be located on the campus.
Red Barber or his assistants will be asked to include a short talk on the memorial in their color broadcast on C.B.S.
A speaker will present the story of the memorial to persons attending the K. U. Hullaballo in Hoch auditorium at 10:40 a.m.
Alumni will see the campus with the aid of student guides who will put in a word for the campanile. Markers will show the route of the proposed driveway.
Organized houses will display a 24 by 32-inch cardboard picture of the tower, and a wooden replica of it will be set up on the campus. Campaign Is Successful
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Memorial association said that the campaign is going into the home-stretch and alumni throughout the state and elsewhere are giving generously. Work will begin when $280,000 is collected. Students and alumni have given more than $150,-000.
Carl V. Rice, Kansas City attorney and vice president of the Memorial association, told the committee that he is giving his time and money to the memorial because study of other campaniles has shown him that K.U.'s campanile will be the finest in the nation if not in the world

Russian Art Is On Display
Russian handwork, money, and art reproductions, some dating to the 17th century, are on exhibit on the third floor of Fraser hall by Mrs. Rachael Soloveitchik, Russian instructor.
Tapestry from Middle Asia, two vases and a plate, hand carved from Ural mountain stone, were contributed by Nicholas Gerren, fine arts graduate student.
There is also a cigar case made of Koralian wood, pictures of Moscow, a Byzantine icon of the 17th century, a Ukranian shawl and clay animal whistles made by soldiers while on leave from the front during World War II.
Money dating back to Empress Catherine's reign and up to the present, both paper and coin, are on exhibit.
Pictures of the Moscow Art theatre, Lenin's mausoleum, the Kremlin and the Cathedral of St. Basil are shown, as well as reproductions of gold and silver embroidered church vessels.
In addition to a snowplow the buildings and grounds department has a grader for use this winter in removing the snow from University streets, Supt. C. G. Bayles said today.
Buildings, Grounds Have Snow Grader
The use of the grader may be quite a problem though. Bayles added, because of the parked cars that will be lining the sides of the streets. Otherwise the wide planer on the front of the machine could pile all the snow in the center of the street where trucks could haul it away. Bayles said that the buildings and grounds department is ready for any bad weather—the gardener and construction crews will shovel and haul away the snow, while the truck crew will sand down the slick pavement as in previous years.
Silverware Exhibit Shown In Frank Strong Hall

Carlson Blasts At Hollywood Group
Emporia, Kan.—(UP)—Gov. Frank Carlson of Kansas, in an armistice day address yesterday, charged that 10 Hollywood personalities who refused to tell a congressional subcommittee whether they were communists were hiding "behind the safeguards of freedom of speech and press."
Some of the hard-wrought silver items were made at the first national conference for silversmithing teachers at Providence, R. I., last summer. Included is a silver pitcher made by Carlyle H. Smith, instructor in silversmithing, who attended the conference.
In denouncing the group of writers, directors and producers, Carlson suggested that they be invited to leave the country. "Those who do not believe in the American way of life should go to the country where they are more welcome," he said.
The sub-committee, which recessed its hearings last week, has recommended that the Hollywood group be cited for contempt of congress.

'US Can't Use Food In Fight'
The United States can not be a world granary and should not use food as a political weapon, Dr. L. J. Pritchard, associate professor of finance, and Dr. Milton Vogel, executive secretary of the Kansas Council of Churches, told the Y. M. C. A. town hall forum Tuesday.
"To keep food from starving people is wholesale murder," Dr. Vogel claimed. "Why use food for political exploitation? If church groups were allowed to distribute food, there would be no discrimination as to who got the food."
Marshall Plen Is Turning Point
Dr. Vogel said that only recently has the United States started using food as a weapon. He cited the Marshall plan as the turning plan in use of food as a weapon. Food should be used to give life, not take it, he said.
"We can't cover the deficit of food in western Europe, Greece, the British Isles, and Japan," Dr. Pritchard said. "Even now we are living off our food capital. There is a severe drain on our food resources in the United States."
Professor Pritchard listed four reasons why there is a severe drain on world food resources. First, eastern Europe no longer produces as much and does not export food to western Europe. Second, Europe as a whole is below pre-war food production levels because of the war and droughts. Third, droughts in the southern hemisphere have cut down food productivity. Finally, the United States is eating more per capita than in 1939. This is because of a 10 per cent increase in population since 1939, and near full employment at record wages.
Let Churches Distribute Food
Dr. Pritchard said, "If we carry through our commitments in Europe food prices in the United States will rise."
Gifts Coming In For Friendship Train

Roommates' Noise No Problem To Elmer
The noise and distraction of fellow roommates has no effect on Elmer Stegman, College sophomore. Elmer's nine brothers and six sisters quieted those fears long ago.
Elmer is number three of an original family of 18 children, 16 of whom are still living. In his own words, Elmer Says the 15 men of his college "wooming house make the place" just like home."
Elmer hasn't lived at the family home in Plains, Kans., since 1937, but he can still remember the days of the depression when a big family had to stick together if they were going to eat.
over six states but was farther apart than that during the war, when six of the boys were in service. Elmer was a technical sergeant but found himself outranked by his brothers in erades from lieutenant colonel down. He was county treasurer of Meade county before coming to the University.

YWCA Discusses Civil Liberties
1. To strengthen the machinery
The committee has put civil rights into four groups:
The committee was appointed in 1946 to investigate civil rights in the United States and reported on October 29.
The President's civil rights committee was discussed at the political effectiveness meeting of the Y.W. C.A. Tuesday.
1. To strengthen the machinery for the protection of civil rights.
2. To give security and safety to persons.
3. To have rights to citizenship and privilege.
4. To have freedom of conscience and expression.
Minority problems influence the question of civil rights, the committee reported. Negroes are the greatest minority group, with Jews next, and then Mexicans. The committee found that persons are more interested in the minority question now.
