ASC To Publish Fall Directory; May Be Charge
The All Student Council will continue to publish the student directory, but there may be a small charge for it, the council decided Tuesday night.
The council considered two suggestions which would aid students who have no way of contacting their council representatives. One would set up a council member and the other would set up a suggestion box in the Union.
The directory receives a set amount from the student activity fund. This year it will get $1,000 extra from an appropriation by the council. **Might Possibly Be Free**
If the available money will cover the cost of publication, students will receive the directory free.
A. S. C. bill six states that the student directory manager will be chosen not later than May 1 preceding his term of office. Because no manager was appointed the past spring, the council set aside this provision indefinitely.
"If the student really wants or needs a directory, he will be willing to pay a small amount for it," George Robb, A. S. C. vice-president said. Considered Publicizing Selves
Willab Noble, College junior, was appointed Forums committee chairman. He will be assisted by two council members, George Pyle, College senior, and Edward Kelly, engineering senior.
New Course Is Offered
Students can now enroll in special work in creative writing from the time they are second semester freshmen through the Graduate school, because of a new course and three special sections of present English courses.
A two hour course called Creative Writing open to all juniors and seniors in the University is being offered this semester for a full year or one semester. It is under the direction of Prof. R. W. Stallman.
Special sections of Composition and Literature 2, 3, and 4 have been set up for freshmen and sophomores in the second year of writing and a "F" average in English.
Students are allowed to write fiction, poetry, literary essays, or anything creative in these courses.
Mid-week Dances To Start Tonight
The school year's series of midweek dances will start officially tonight with the Short Spin dance, planned by the union activities committee, at 7:30 p.m.
Charlie O'Connor and his band will start the evening off with one hour of solid music to get the audience in the mood for the intermission program.
During intermission, the audience will see a skit by the Delta Delta Delta sorority, and hear an accordion duet from Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and vocal numbers by Harriet Harlow, Delta Gamma sorority.
The admission is 25 cents a person. If the demand is great enough it will result in more dances during the school year, the committee said.
Literary Award Is Postponed
The $2,500 William Allen White award in creative writing will not be made in 1947.
An announcement from the University said the action was taken on a unanimous decision of the judges that since "the first winning work would set a standard for subsequent awards, they felt it should be of outstanding quality."
Several entries were returned with criticism and the suggestion that they be revised and entered again.
The announcement said the $2,500 competition for an original work, open only to University students, will be offered again next spring.
The judges were Frederic Babcock, literary critic of the Chicago Tribune; Kenneth L. Rawson, vicepresident of G. P. Putnam's sons, publishers, and Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The award, offered by $1. G. P. Putnam's, Sons, consist of a $1,000 prize and $1,500 an advance against royalties on the work when published.
Library To Remain Open

For the remainder of the semester the library will be open on Sundays from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m.

News Of The World
Can Aid Europe, Report Says
Washington—(UP)—A survey prepared for President Truman by a special government committee will say the United States has most of the resources to meet Europe's requirements under the Marshall plan if "some adjustments" are made.
The Krug committee was created by the president in mid-Jung to prepare a balance sheet of U. S. resources and their relation to Eurorap's anticipated reconstruction demands.
The special committee, headed by Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug, is expected to forward its report to the president later this week. It places social emphasis on the flexibility of the American economy to adjust itself to severe demands such as health care. The Thirty-third plenium divides only another in a series of tests that have been met successfully in the past.
Authoritative sources said the report indicates that supplies of wheat corn, coal, steel, conveyor belting nitrogen fertilizer, and some kinds of industrial equipment will be scarce at times during the next five years.
Officials familiar with the report guid it would advise Mr. Truman that certain export levels could not be achieved without voluntary or government-enforced allocations. In
the case of steel, for example, it suggests that European requirements be considered before those of non-devastated countries are met.
The report said spot shortages might occur in some areas but added that they would be of short duration and would probably not cause widespread difficulties. The survey of fuel projects was made by Dechard A. Hulley, president of the Lone Star Gas co., of Dallas, Tex., and chairman of the chamber's natural resources committee.
Washington — (UP) — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said today in a special report that the nation's fuel supply will be adequate for the coming winter, barring unusually severe weather and labor troubles.
Nation's Fuel Supply Termed Adequate For Winter
Unions Still Responsible
Washington—(UP)—The National Labor Relations board served notice on unions today that their decision to by-pass the board does not exempt them from responsibility under the Taft-Hartley law. The new labor law makes unions, as well as employers, subject to penalty for unfair labor practices.
Reporter At Quisling Trial Studies Journalism At KU
Reporter at the Quisling trial in 1945, and former German prisoner that's the story of Caspar H. Brochmann, Norwegian journalism student and instructor of German at the University.
A reporter for the Norwegian Journal of Commerce and Shipping for the past two and a half years, Brochmann reported the Quisling trial as one of his first big assignments.
Competing with over fifty reporters, including representatives of the Associated Press and the United Press, he wrote all his stories in longhand and dispatched them, unedited, direct to the linotype operator at his newspaper. He reported the trial every morning from the courtroom. At noon he rushed to his paper and wrote the headlines for his morning stories.
Gets "Beat! On Verdict"
On the day when Quisling was to be sentenced, Brochman stood outside the doorway of the courtroom when the sentence was being pronounced and then hustled the news to his paper. The majority of the newsmen were prohibited by officials from leaving the room until all the complete sentence had beer read. As a result, Brochmann's paper was the first paper in Oslo to receive the results of the trial.
New Students May Take Make-Up Examinations
Psychological examinations for new students who failed to take the examination on Sept. 8 will be given in Hoch auditorium at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Make-up aptitude examinations for those absent on Sept. 9 has been scheduled for 2 p.m. Oct. 18 in Hoch auditorium. This schedule has been made so that all may attend the home football game.
YM Freshmen Hear Linegar
"You are the ones who make the Y. M. C. A. what it is," Ned Linegar, executive-secretary, told freshman members at their first meeting of the year yesterday in the ballroom of the Union building. Mr. Linegar said that the Y. M. C. A. membership is voluntary, democratic, and belongs to the students of the University.
Jack B. Pringle, College sophomore, invited the students to attend the Student Religious council every Thursday at 4 p.m. in Meyers hall.
"The main function is to present to the students the importance of self-life." Pringle said, explaining the role the council plays on the campus.
"Nine-tenths of the world's education has been disrupted," said Glenn E. Varenhorst, College sophomore, "and the Y. M. C. A. should help re-establish education in the world."
Bruce T. Bathurst, College junior, pointed out that even though 60 to 80 per cent of the students do not take part in University activities, the ones who do are preparing themselves for a "final bearing in the business world."
Regular meeting time for the freshman 'Y' will be Tuesday at 7 p.m. The place will be announced later.
Progressives Build Party Platform
A policy of strict cooperation with student government is the goal of the Progressive party, Paul D. Barker, president, said Tuesday.
In addition to advocating Negro participation in sports and higher wages for students employed by the University, Barker said that the party will attempt to unite politics with social activities to tone down University politics as a limelight.
"I am sure Quisling expected the death sentence, but he tried to play innocent," Brochmann said. "He tried to tell the court that what he had done was right from a national point of view.
Quisling Given Fair Trial
"Quisling had every opportunity. He had one of the best lawyers in Norway for his defense counsel. It was proved that Quisling lied a lot. However, it is my personal opinion that he believed as he testified," Brochmann said.
Arrested by the Gestapo after the invasion of Norway as a member of an underground newspaper, the Norwegian reporter spent three and a half years in a concentration camp. After his release he joined the Norwegian Journal of Commerce and Shipping. While at K.U. he sends articles to his paper in Oslo. Americans Catch Errors
The new student believes that Norwegian journalists have more freedom in writing because they edit and copyread their own stories. But he admits American journalists have a more scientific and technical system of preventing errors.
Brochmann, who comes to the University through the Institute of International Education, is a part-time instructor in German. He is enrolled as a journalism major at the University.
Trade Series Begins Soon
The first of a series of foreign trade courses to be sponsored in Kansas City by the University Extension division will be held in about two weeks. This was decided at a recent meeting of the Kansas City Foreign Trade club, F. T. Stockton, director of the University Extension division, said today.
Plans for courses in foreign trade documentation and export merchandising were completed. Two-hour training will be held once a week for 12 weeks.
Several follow-up courses will be offered later. They will cover customs procedure, foreign trade financing, and legal aspects of foreign trade.
