A constitutional amendment to recognize the Associated Women students in place of the Executive Women's board will be voted on in the all-school election Nov. 6, Betty an der Smissen told A. W. S. members Tuesday.
A two-thirds vote is necessary to dopt the amendment which is very important to University women, Miss *z*u der Smissen explained.
Approximately 1000 women at-

Speakers will be James Lawrence, news director of radio station KSD St. Louis, Robert Blakely, editorial writer for the Des Moines Register and Tribune, and Larry Miller, secretary-manager of the Kansas Press association.
Lawrence, '37, will discuss the problems and methods of televising news. His station, KSD, is the only working television station between Chicago and the Pacific coast. Lawrance also edited the world's first two facsimile newspaper.
He added that the school of Education provided positive guidance to students for teaching positions on a high schooldl level in Kansas public schools.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, said he is pleased with the success of the new practice teaching program in public schools for education seniors.
Dean Smith is a recent victim of interviewer Tom Yoe, director of University publicity, on KFKU's "Calling the Deans on the Carpet." Asked if he earned his salary, Dean Smith answered, "Are you kidding?"

"Now there you are, sir, the very latest in professor's ready-to-wear. Note the roomy full droop in the back—and now that clothing materials are no longer a problem, we managed to allow for the traditional comfy bag at the knees."
KFKU, Moving To New Home Looks Ahead To Better Days
KFKU, the University radio station, will move into its long-promised new home this week.
KFKU's new building is directly behind Marvin hall and west of Hoch auditorium. It includes a large studio, a small studio, a control room, a reception room, and an office for the program director. The control room
Winners will be given the trip next summer for the best essays on "The Influence of Swedish Settlers on a Community or Region." The contest is open to undergraduates.
Inquiries about the contest may be sent to G. H. Lundbeck, Jr., managing director, Swedish American Line. 636 Fifth avenue, New York 20, N.Y.
May Cancel Flying Course
Six free trips to Scandinavian countries with all expenses paid will be awarded to first and second prize winners of an essay contest sponsored by the Swedish American Line.
"The flying and ground school course will not be offered next semester unless students wishing to take the course in the spring semester let their desires be known," Ammon S. Andes, assistant professor of aeronautical engineering, said today.
Fifty men were enrolled in the course when-funds were provided for it on the G. I. Bill but since the Veterans Administration has cancelled payment for the subject, few students have taken it.
Only three persons enrolled in the course this semester so the project was dropped altogether. Ades said.
Contest Winners To Get Free Trips
"The minimum cost for the flying school is $340." Professor Andes said.
connects the two studios.
Late in 1940 architectural plans were released for a one-story 13-room building which would include space in one wing for a radio station. The building went up in 1941, but KFKU stayed where it was—its studios in an engineering shop building southwest of Marvin hall and its offices in Fraser hall.
Engineers Moved In
Of the new accomodations, only the office will be occupied immediately. Mildred Seaman, program director, will move in this week. Records and transcribing equipment will be moved from Fraser hall where KFKU has shared space with University Extension.
The department of aeronautical engineering, which was also waiting for new quarters, moved into what was to be the new radio station. Recently, the department of aeronautical engineering moved into a quonset hut west of Mervin hall.
Broadcasting will not begin in the new building until the two studios and part of the control room have been sound-proofed. F. T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, said that he hoped the studios would be ready before the end of the present semester.
Await Soundproofing
According to Dean Stockton, the use of two studios will enable KFKU directors to liven up their program schedule. They have been previously handicapped in not being able to run two "live" broadcasts successively. Having only one studio they have had to follow their programs of local origin with recorded programs in order to have time to set up the studio for the next local broadcast.
Dean Stockton hinted improvement could be expected in KFKU's future programs.
Tympany Symphony Back For Encore
The pneumatic hammerers in the west eardrum of Watson Library have another week to pound. Construction of the library annex will then move into a more quiet phase, according to the workers. So if you like to study in an atmosphere less enchanting but more sedate than Gene Krupa's rumpus room, come back to Watson next week.
Christmas Loss Is Easter Gain
You'll have a shorter Christmas vacation but a longer Easter recess during the 1948-49 academic year, according to the calendar approved recently by the University senate.
The Christmas vacation is shortened from 15 days—a full two weeks and three weekends—to 11 days, or nine school days and two weekends. This saves three school days, according to the report of the calendar committee. The 1948-49 Christmas vacation will begin at 6 p.m. on Dec. 22 and classwork will resume on Jan. 3. For the present term the classes will be on Joo Dec. 20 and classes resume on Jan 5.
Easter Vacation Preferred
However, the 1948-49 Easter recess has been expanded from four school days and a weekend to a full week including two weekends. This cuts two class days from the spring semester.
The orientation period, which took eight days this fall, has been shortened to six, saving two days for classes.
With the five schools days saved, the opening of the 1948 fall semester has been pushed back one week. The first day of orientation will be Sept. 13. This term is was Sept. 8. Fewer Class Days
The 1948 fall semester will have 92 class days, compared to the 93 for the present fall semester. The 1949 spring semester will have 90 class days compared to 92 for the 1948 spring term.
Opening day for the 1948 fall semester is Sept. 13, with semester examinations beginning Jan. 20 and ending Jan. 27. The 1949 spring semester begins Jan. 28, with semester examinations beginning May 26 and ending June 2. Commencement is on June 6.
The eight-week summer session in 1948 and 1949 will begin June 8, with the 1948 session ending Aug. 7 and the 1949 session Aug. 6. The closing date is 10 days earlier than that of the 1947 session, which began June 16 and closed Aug. 16.
WEATHER
Tonight's minimum temperatures are forecast to range from freezing in northwest Kansas to 50-55 degrees in eastern Kansas. Saturday's afternoon temperatures will likely remain under 65 degrees in the northwest to 75 in the east.
Occasional light showers were predicted for the eastern third of the state this afternoon and early tonight. It will be fair in the west through tomorrow.
Newman Club Schedules Barn Dance For Tonight
Newman club members planning to attend the club's Halloween barn dance tonight should meet at 8 p.m. at the Union for a hay rack ride. No other organized transportation will be furnished.
William Conroy, president, urged all members to attend, either with dates or as stags. Dress will be in barn dance tradition, and masks should be worn for the Halloween theme.
Congress Ready For Price Battle In New Session
Washington — (UP) — Congress greeted President Truman's call for a special session today with signs of willingness to tackle the problem of high prices but without reviving price controls and rationing.
Mr. Truman's proclamation called for the legislators to convene Nov. 17, in the first special session since 1939.
Speaking over all major radio networks at 9 p.m. (CST) tonight, the President will explain his decision to recall congress to consider "the alarming and continuing increase in prices" and the economic crisis in Western Europe.
From both the White House and congress came indications that serious consideration would be given to attacking the price problem through an allocation program—a quota system for buyers of steel, grain and other scarce goods. The aim would be to prevent big buyers from bidding freely against each other and thereby forcing prices up.
Despite the great interest in prices, there was no evidence that congress would shy away from the accompanying foreign relief problem, although the Republican majority will demand a detailed case to support requests for emergency aid. It was understood that the administration may ask for about one billion dollars, providing 642 million dollars to help carry France and Italy through the winter.
Perhaps reflecting recess talks with their constituents, congressmen appeared particularly interested in Mr. Truman's move to link the domestic price situation with foreign aid.
Congressional leaders who attended the President's pre-announcement conference at the White House Thursday came away with the impression that he had no intention of asking for rationing and price controls but posposed to recommend an allocation program to deal with prices.
Flu Shot Station Moved To Union
The temporary station for influenza vaccine has been moved from Marvin hall to the Union, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, said today.
Since only 97 shots were given Thursday at Marvin hall, the station was moved to the Union earlier than expected. Dr. Cunateson explained. Over 200 shots were given at Marvin hall on Wednesday.
Home Study Courses For Army Reserve
Shots are available for all students, members of their families over six years, faculty members, and University employees. The station will be open from 9 a.m. to noon, and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. until the demand for the vaccine falls off.
Home study courses in air science and military tactics are now available for reserve corps members, Col. K. E. Rosebush, professor of military science and tactics, said today.
The courses are designed to keep reservists informed of developments and changes in the army, he said. They will provide a means for enlisted reservists to obtain a commission and reserve officers to get promotions.
Reservists may apply for the courses through air reserve training detachments or air force headquaters.
