No Corsages At University ASC Suggests
The only flowers that will be seen at University social events will be wallflowers, if a recommendation by the All Student Council is observed by students.
The A. S. C. recommended that male students not buy corsages for social events on the campus. The Council decided that such a move would help students cut, down expenses when otherwise they would feel obliged to buy flowers for their dates. The student council at Kansas State college recently passed a similar recommendation.
Toveka, Kans.—(UP)—Snow—the state's first this fall—was forecast for northwest Kansas tonight amid rapidly falling temperatures and a strong chill northerly wind.
Details of the revised Kansas State college-University of Kansas peace pact were not available at the meet mine if the peace pact has been that the school offended will detering. The amendment would provide broken. In the past, the school whose students committed the offense decided that point.
Members of the faculty advisory committee to the Council are Dear J. H. Nelson, Prof. J. Neale Carman Miss Florence Black, and Miss Kathleen Doering.
New Joint Peace Pact
Clayton Submits Claim
Ruth Clayton, former advertising manager of the Bitter Bird, submitted a claim to the Council for $33 for advertising commissions. Before approving her claim the Council voted that Miss Clayton submit statements from Lawrence business men showing that she had been paid for advertising space in the magazine.
Donald M. Johnson, College junior, was appointed prosecutor for the student court. New associate justices of the court are Dorothy Scroggy and William Conboy, College juniors.
The Young Republicans club will meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the recreation room of the Union for a "get acquainted" meeting.
Wayne Ruppenthal, Council representative, said that Gair Sloan has been chosen freshman alternate cheerleader.
The pact was amended at a joint council meeting at Manhattan last week and copies of the new agreement have not yet reached the University, said James Waugh, Council president.
Young Republicans Club Will Meet In Union
All students are eligible to attend, and membership will be accepted at the meeting. Amusements and refreshments are planned.
Weather: Snow!
A revised forecast by the U. S. weather service also predicted rain in the state's northern counties by early tomorrow.
"Snow and rapidly falling temperatures with strong northerly winds northwest tonight, changing to rain spreading eastward over northern third by morning. Elsewhere partly cloudy and cooler tonight. Low temperatures near 32 degrees northwest to 50-55 southeast. Thursday partly cloudy, cooler southeast and extreme east. Clearing west."
Temperatures will dip to near freezing in the northwest tonight in a cold front's offensive from the Rockies that is due to chase Indian summer weather from all of Kansas, at least temporarily, in the next 24 hours.

Little Man On Campus
By Bibler
"Ive had a lot of encouragement and compliments from the cast which helped a lot. We have a good cast and a good" director, that's what really counts," she added.
A suggestion that her performance might have accounted for this reaction was greeted with a modest scoff.
Cast and Director—Good
"Just knowing that the audience likes the play is thrill enough. The audiences have been wonderful. They have been with us from the moment the curtain went up to the very end," she said.
In Spite Of Heavy Armor And Helmet Van Biber Still Likes 'Joan'
Butterflies in her stomach, curlers in her hair, and loaded down with a suit of mail complete with visored helmet, Joan of Arc, in the person of Darlene Van Biber. strode across the stage.
She has no particular event to remember as her biggest thrill before the footlights.
"At last I've learned to carry all this stuff at one time," she remarked as she arrived for Tuesday night's performance, early as usual.
For a girl who was to step before the footlights in an hour or so, to portray one of the more difficult roles in recent theater history, the leading role in Maxwell Anderson's "Joan of Lorraine," Miss Van Biber seemed calm as a veteran.
Began Career Early
If she had any qualms about attempting the characterization, it wasn't because she was taking over a role made famous by Ingrid Bergman. It was because of the difficulty of the role itself, she explained.
No, she didn't begin her acting career as soon as she could toddle onto the stage, as most stage veterans swear they did. She began by giving a reading when in the fifth grade. In fact, Darlene had several members of the "Joan" company believing a fictitious tale in connection with that memorable performance. She told them that Professor Crafton appeared back stage after the program and urged that she major in mathematics.
The role of Joan is her favorite. This selection is made from several parts here at the University, more at Graceland Junior college, and the title role in "Mrs. Miniver" at Wichita East High school.
Ingrid Didn't Count
Darlene holds another distinction few students ever attain. She will never be a senior although she will graduate next spring. She won't have sufficient junior-senior hours until that time and will be classified as a junior meanwhile. Long Way To N.Y.
As to her ambitions after graduation, Darlene has no definite plans as yet.
As for the stage—"The theater is in New York and that's a long way from Lawrence, Kansas," she called as she hurried on her dressing room to smear on a little greasepaint.
"Radio would be very interesting but it is pretty hard to get into," she remarked.
No building construction is being planned by the University in the area west of Potter lake picnic grounds, Dr. Leonard Axe, director of University services, said today.
Building Materials Just Stored By Potter Lake
The building materials are placed there, Dr. Axe added, for want of a better storage space, and will be used for any other annex constructions in the future.
Reds Knock Out French Cabinet
Paris, Oct. 22—(UP)—The government socialist Premier, Paul Ramadier, pressed by Communist threats of continuing strikes and weakened by Gen. Charles De Gaulle's victory in Sunday's municipal elections, decided unanimously tonight to resign.
The surprise decision followed a meeting of the full council of ministers under President Vincent Auriol this morning at which it was decided to call a special session of the French parliament Oct. 28. Government sources indicated the move was designed to enable Ramadier to reorganize his cabinet.

21 New Courses Approved For College Credit
Twenty-one new courses were approved, and a new option was established in paleontology for the degree of bachelor of science in geology at a meeting of the College faculty Tuesday.
Changes Effective This Year
Requests from the departments of botany, German, mathematics, and sociology for the addition of new courses were referred to the administrative committee for recommendation and action at the November faculty meeting.
The administrative committee reported changes in course numbers, course descriptions, and course prerequisites which will become effective next semester. Most of the new courses will be added next semester with the rest becoming effective next fall, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, said.
A junior-senior course in the principles of physical science for five hours credit was approved. The new course is primarily for juniors and seniors who have not taken a previous course in physical science. The course will cover all of the physical sciences and will stress their relationship to each other. N. W. Storer, professor of astronomy, will direct the course.
Three New Art Courses
Three courses will be offered in the department of drawing and painting for students who wish to understand and appreciate art but are not interested in becoming artists. The courses are Survey of Italian Art, Survey of North European Art, and Introduction of Pictorial Art. All are for junior-senior credit.
A survey course in American history was approved for junior-senior credit. A course in Roman Decline and Medieval Origins was also added in the department of history. The new course will show the relationship of ancient history with medieval times.
Four new courses were approved for the department of geology. They are Advanced Historical Geology, Photogrammetry and Geographic Interpretation, Economic Geology of Non-Metals, and Ore Petrography.
