Redivision
One of the political issues causing much strife in the All Student council, and outside, is the proposed amendment to eliminate representation from extra-curricular organizations.
Section 3 of ASC Bill 2 provides that one representative each shall sit on the council from the YMCA, WYCA, Pan-Hellenic council, InterFraternity council, Men's Dorm council, Women's Dorm council, Independent Student association, Cooperative Housing association, Negro Students association, and Jay Janes.
The new proposal would abolish all these except the Negro Students association. The nine other vacancies would be filled by election as reapportioned to the regular districts composed of the various schools of the University.
Whether it would be advisable to have substantially all of the ASC, rather than about two-thirds of it, representing the corrupt political practices on this campus, is not the question here. Obviously if any party finding itself in a majority at a council meeting wishes to pass or table the amendment, depending on which would be most favorable to the party, it will attempt to do so.
The Constitution of the Associated Students of the University of Kansas provides that "the All Student council shall consist of a president, a representative-at-large, representatives elected by various schools of the University, representatives elected by large and influential extra-curricular organizations on the campus, and two representatives elected by the freshman class."
It seems to us that this is an amendment to the constitution rather than to Bill 2, in which case it would have to be proposed by two-thirds vote of the council and ratified by a majority of voters at a regular all-University election.
It may well be that a different plan of representation would help cure student government ills. But the way this is being handled isn't even likely to get at symptoms.
Career Guidance
women's place is no longer in the home—exclusively.
But whether K.U. women plan to devote their lives to careers or to families, they can find meetings planned for their needs in the Careers conference next week.
Many of the women who have been invited to speak have been successful in combining homemaking with careers. All of them have achieved recognition in their various fields which include, fashion, personnel, writing, science, politics, and others. They should be well qualified to explain the professions, qualifications for getting into them and ways to advance.
That University authorities have arranged for attendance to constitute valid excuse for missing classes bears out the worth of the conference. This is not, however, something the faculty is trying to cram down your throat. Students did most of the planning with the help of the adviser of women, to give K.U. women opportunities for information not available elsewhere.

Personal meetings also will be scheduled for women who are making definite plans to enter some vocation. Questions from the audience
Men also may be interested in the opening convoction and in Dr. Foster's lecture on marriage Tuesday night.
Persons who attended a similar week-end series two years ago found the content of much practical value. This promises to be even more worthwhile because it deals specifically with more fields.
You probably can work in most of the discussions which particularly interest you without missing class. But if not, you are not likely to regret the loss of one or two classes in favor of this important program.
Dear Editor---are assured by the Enders with its amazingly simple construction. It's all one piece—no mechanics, no gadget! All you do is click the blade in and shave. Furthermore it doesn't clog, it's easy to clean and stays clean. Blades are sharp and long enough to easily right into your hand. Just try it. Your campus store has the new Enders at a special introductory price. You'll like Enders extra shaving.
Why Close Library?
Since first enrolling at K.U. in 1939, I fail to recall a single instance when the library and student union were closed during a convocation, but in a drive for more co-operation in the bell tower project the authorities of the University saw fit to do so. If the "open door policy" changed during my five and a half years' absence spent with Uncle Sam, I stand corrected.
It must be that I'm one of those bitter ones the committee tried to reach in an attempt to stimulate a "better attitude" toward the bell tower. The fact that there is enough criticism to warrant a convocation for this purpose only bears out the feeling that the proposed memorial is not popular. To clear up this question once and for all why not send each living K.U. veteran a questionnaire to poll their attitudes in the matter?
At any rate, closing the union and locking the library will never go far in smoothing my ruffled feathers. Besides the thought of buying my own tombstone isn't particularly gratifying.

(Editor's note: "Once and for all," the Memorial committee says the drive and bell tower plan cannot be changed, and that if you don't want to help build it, the memorial to our war dead will have to be built by KU. faithful who DO wish to honor those who gave their lives.)
A monthly average of 47,000 veterans filed applications last year to convert their national service to permanent government policies.

Dr. Clara Nigg Will Get Award
Dr. Clara Nigg, bacteriologist, will be presented the Distinguished Service award by the University at an all student convocation 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Dr. Nigg was voted the award in 1941 for her outstanding work in blood grouping, typhus, and virus diseases. In 1942 she discovered a new pneumonia virus. During the war she was in charge of typhus vaccine preparation for E. R. Squibbs & Son in New Brunswick, NJ., and is now head of their virus laboratory.
She was graduated from the University in 1921. Later she obtained her doctorate here and worked as an assistant to Dr. N.P. Sherwood.
She will speak to the Careers Conference at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the East room, at 10:30 a.m. in the Pine room, and at a luncheon Wednesday for guests of the conference.
