Dr. Ralph L. Canuteson, director of the University health service, returned today from New York where he met Monday with the planning committee for the third national conference on health in college.
Anonymity is the theme—no sorority pins, no name tags. As the contestants enter the arena they will be given a number and "frisked" for any recognition paraphernalia.
No hats will hide those $25 permanents and gleaming peroxides. Date dresses will be the uniform. (Date dresses are "dress up" dresses, the Sunday morning type that is worn with high heels and precious nylons. Dean Ostrum, Jayhawker editor, says that blue jeans are positively forbidden.)
Four waiters in tux trousers and white coats will pass the refreshments. Beer will not be served, and the waiters have been trained not to drool.
The judges will be five married

Campus Election April 24; Amendment Proposed
Proposal To Change Method of Choosing Council Representatives From Schools
The date of the coming spring election was changed and an amendment proposed to change the allotment of representatives by districts at the All Student council meeting Tuesday night.
A new allotment changing the proportion between men and women representatives on the council to 11 to 5 also was adopted. This is an amendment to Article V, Section 2, b, of the Constitution of the Associated Students of the University. It takes the place of the allotment of 10 to 6 which was adopted by the A.S.C. at its last meeting.
Panel To Discuss ASC Seats Friday
A five party panel discussion to decide if the present system of giving All Student council seats to extra-curricular organizations should be continued, modified, or abolished will be sponsored by the University Daily Kansan at 4 p.m. Friday, in the Pine room of the Union.
Parties to be represented are Pachacamac, Progressive, P.S.G.L. Independent Women, and Pachacamac N.O.W.
Purposes of the meeting are to get opinions from party heads and to determine student interest in the matter.
If an agreement is reached, the discussion will be on the proposed amendment to the All Student council constitution, that representatives to the Council be elected from geographical districts, and not the four University enrollment districts as they are now, Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of student affairs, will act as moderator.
The amendment also favors an enlargement of the membership of the council.
"Any change in the existing system would require a constitutional amendment and a two-thirds vote of the council. No political party has such a representation so the question would not be one of party conflict, but the usefulness of the amendment itself." Mr. Tompkins said.
Army Day Planes To Fly Over K.U.
Forty B-29 Superforts of the 15th Air force will pass over Lawrence April 12 on the way to a simulated attack on Minneapolis, in observation of Army week. Advance announcements describe this as being the largest such maneuver of heavy bombers ever staged in the United States.
At Minneapolis, fifth army ground units are to display equipment and march in parades, and 15th air force planes of all types are to carry out mock attacks.
You'll Pay $7.50 For That Diploma Senior Fees Are Lower This Year, Evans Says
You pay to get in and you pay to get out of the University. Graduation will cost seniors $38.60 and up this spring.
The "up" is for invitations. But the senior can get by on $11.60. Part of this $7.50 in diskspace fee.
Assessment $ 4.10
Diploma 7.50
Ring (Men) 27.00
(Women) 21.00
The whole thing looks like this:
Invitations ... 10 to 45 cents
Arrangements may be made to buy more invitations. The deadline was Saturday.
Invitations ... 10 to 48 cents
The item, "assessment", will be paid by everyone. It is for cap and gown rental from the University, class breakfast, and class gift. Ray
Evans, class president, says this is lower than in previous years.
The class gift will be decided at a meeting of all seniors in Fraser theater at 9 a.m. Monday. They will vote on four projects:
ONE. An Oregon trail marker near Lindley hall.
TWO. Landscaping of the two triangles near Lindley hall.
FOUR. Lounge furnishings for the Frank Rest hall rotunda.
THREE. Landscaping of an area near Watson library.
Since the A.S.C. must approve the election report a month before the election, it was necessary to change the date of the spring election. The new date was set at April 24.
K-BOOK EDITOR CHOSEN
Anne Scott announced the publications committee's selection of the officers of next year's "K" Book. They are Harold D. Sandy, editor; Margaret van der Smissen, assistant editor; Harold Warwick, business manager; and Robert Combs, assistant business manager.
The council moved to send a letter to the faculty of the College, recommending that two new courses be included in the curriculum. One would be a class in the polling of public opinion, with the polling of the students on problems before the course; used as our lab work for the course; and the other a workshop in government class, open only to students holding office in campus organizations and representatives to the council.
A move to appoint a committee to ask the budget committee of the University for a minimum student wage of 60 cents an hour was passed, but the committee was not appointed.
The question of the change in allotment of representatives was brought up when the council voted unanimously to allow Donald Pomeroy, president of the Progressive party, to speak. The Progressive party has no representatives on the council. Pomeroy yielded the floor to George Caldwell, president of the P.S.G.L. party.
Caldwell, whose party sponsored the 10-6 allotment of the last meeting, said that the figures did not conform with the wording of the constitution. It reads, "The representation of the two sexes from each school (district) shall tend toward a mean between proportional and equal representation." He then presented the 11-5 figures.
CALDWELL INTRODUCES AMENDMENT
George Caldwell introduced, for the first reading, a proposed amendment to the constitution. Representatives to the council would be elected from geographical districts of the living places of the students, rather than from the various schools of the University as they are at present. The amendment will not be acted upon until the next meeting.
The new allotment divides the men and women representatives in the following manner: four men and three women to district I, the College; four men to district II, the School of Engineering; two men and two women to District III, the schools of Fine Arts and Business, and the Graduate school; and one man to District IV, the schools of Medicine and Law. In this allotment the students at the School of Medicine in Kansas City have no representation.
MOTION PASSES 10 TO 1
After much discussion, Duane Postlewaite moved that the amendment be adopted on the figures Caldwell well presented. The motion was seconded and passes by a vote of 10 to 1. Some of the representatives did not vote.
Five members were not present at the meeting. They were Emily Stacey, John Gunther, Paul Carpenter, Allan Cromley, and Lorraine Hammer.
