governor No.2,'Takin' The Cards And Playin' im As Smart As Possible,' Has 30 States Left
it's 18 down and 30 to go for Ellis Arnall, the dapper ex-governor of Georgia.
he has set out to cover all 48 states, and with 18 of them behind him he is showing no sign of fatigue Friday night backstage at Hoch auditorium. He man, who overnight has made the newsreels and national magazines, looked more like the winner than the $ \textcircled{2} $
user of the recent Georgia gubernial fracts.
Traveling mostly by plane, he is usting no time in making himself tter known to the nation. He exeets to finish his tour in about a ar. Apparently it's no strain; he vs he's having a "great time".
Mr. Arnall had just come from a conference with government officials Topeka. Asked how he felt surounded by Republicans, he commented that they seemed more reponsive than many of his Democratic ends.
“Perhaps they could use a few Democrats over there,” he said, he added that he considers himself a democrat with a small “d”.
peaking in a softened "Claghorn" rawl and twirling his derby hat in hand, Mr. Arnall told about his art in public life. He was active in hool politics at the University of the South. He admitted that his activities included the presidency of very major office on the campus.
According to Mr. Arnall, politics is an important part of campus life. "It's great activity and can't be emphasized too much," he asserted.
Recently in New York Mr. Arnall as a guest on "Information Please." e was a success doing everything citing poetry to singing Dixie.
Some observers have noted that this our looks like a pre-election campaign. Asked about presidential assasination, he drawled his stock answer, "you gonna take the calhds they deal me and play 'em smalt as possible." On the subject of the Georgia governorship, Mr. Armall feels certain that the state supreme court will reverse the decision of the lower court, which reulted that Herman Talmadge had been elected and was qualified
After he had answered a question in music he turned to Oscar Levant and queried, "Oscar, I thought this as your line," Oscar replied, "It was still you arrived. I'm the pretender ever. The man that asked Talented the greatest pretender I all enjoyed recounting the episode.
for the position.
As Mr. Arnall visited with University authorities backstage he was asked by a student to autograph his recent book, "The Shore Dimly Seen." He beamed, scrowled his name, and as he left he gave everyone his best politician's smile and handclasp.
The next stop for this Georgia whirlwind is Dallas. His schedule is close, and he's in a hurry most of the time. He must be—he hasn't had time to see his own newsreels.
She's Free, 21. She Liked KU She Will Return
Although she had been to the University once before, Ruth Morris, who was chosen "most popular girl on the campus" at Washburn university, enjoyed her second visit here much better.
Miss Morris was one of the eight weekend guests from surrounding colleges and universities who joined in the celebration of Student Union day. Saturday.
"You see my first visit was purely one of a business nature, but this time it was much more pleasant. Back in high school, I was a member of a choir that came here for the spring music festival, and we were so busy practicing that I didn't have too much time to enjoy myself," the peppy, 5 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inch blond visitor said.
As for her height she says that even though she has trouble seeing over tall persons in crowds, that added half inch does wonders.
At Washburn, Ruth is a senior majoring in philosophy. With a little persuasion and a lot more begging she confessed that she was "free and 21," with definite emphasis on the "free" angle.
"School and social activities up at Washburn are practically the same as here," she said. "Of course they aren't on as large a scale. I think that if I didn't live in Topeka where Washburn is so handy, I would have come here."
With a lot of difficulty the young woman was separated from her date long enough to get her opinion of the eight most dateable males, and particularly her own date.
"Gee, the fellows have all been swell, and I've had just a lot of fun with Bill," she whispered. "Everyone has been so nice that I just couldn't help having a fine time. I hope I can come back soon, because I really like it here."
Copies of the K-book, official student handbook, are available in the business office, it was announced today.

A.S.C. Cuts All-University Dances To Two In Spring
Poor Attendance, Financial Loss Factors In Committees' Decision
Because of lagging interest in all-school dances which has resulted in a large financial loss during the past semester, the All Student council social committee has announced that only two Varsity dances will be held during the spring term.
The accelerated dance program of the past semester received unexpectedly poor student support. This poor attendance at the Varsity dances is
Inactive Reserve Will Sign Navy Vets
K. U. navy veterans may enlist in the navy's inactive reserve this week when a traveling recruiting unit opens temporary headquarters in the lobby of Frank Strong hall.
Although the program is not connected with the University NROTC unit, Capt. J. V. Peterson, professor of naval science, urged navy veterans "to give the opportunity serious consideration."
Captain Peterson pointed out that the veteran enlist in V-6 (inactive reserve) in his present rating, longevity increases for every three-year period, he is exempt from selective service regulations, and he is eligible for advancement under certain conditions.
Enlistment in the inactive reserve does not take away advantages under the GI bill, Captain Peterson said. Reservists cannot be called to active duty unless a national emergency arises or war is declared. The reservoir may request discharge from V-6 at any time during peace.
Drills, classes, and cruises are voluntary and will not interrupt school or business, Captain Peterson added. Reservists will receive active duty pay and allowances for this time.
Qualifications are six months' active duty or any sea duty, and discharge from active duty must be under conditions other than inaptitude, unsuitability or disliability.
Ex-navy men up to 64 years old, and ex-marines or ex-coast guardsmen between the ages of 18 and 40 are eligible. No physical examinations are necessary.
Applicants for enlistment in V-6 should have original discharge papers, notices of separation (NavPers 553), and draft cards.
Three Queens To Play In Band Concert
Three Queens, a cornet trio composed of Jeanne Peck, Dorothy Brenner, and Anne Noe, playing "Annic Laurie a' la Moderne" will be on the program of the annual winter concert of the University band at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch auditorium.
Leo Horacek, cornet soloist and brass instructor, will play "Scherzo" by Goldman. Trombone soloist Gaylord Gasal will play "Pavane" by Ravel. William Sears will give an exhibition of baton twirling.
The program will consist of "L-Apprenti Sorcier", Duka's humorous scherzo; "Russian Sailors' Dance" for the free copy (flore); "Die Fledermaus Overture" (Moskowski) and "Spanish Dances" (Moscowski).
P-T Club to Reorganize
Physical Therapy club will have a reorganizational meeting at Watkins Memorial hospital at 7 tonight. Election of officers for the semester will be held.
the cause for the present deficit of nearly $700 assumed by the dance committee.
By limiting the number of dances, the committee believes student interest will be stimulated, John Gunther, chairman of the social committee, declared.
"When the student body indicates by its attendance that it wants more such dances, we will, again return to the previous schedule," Gunther said.
He explained that the aim of the social committee is to charge a minimum admission fee, operating on a non-profit basis for the benefit of the students. Increasing this charge would only harm attendance, he believes.
Karl Klooz, bursar, who is the financial advisor to the committee, agrees the only solution to the constant losses incurred at the dances is to reduce the dance program to only a few major events each semester.
Veterans who are by now better adjusted to the college routine or have depleted savings have caused this condition, Mr. Tompkins believes.
"This seems to be a recurring condition from time to time," Mr. Klooz said, referring to the lagging support.
The committee announced the appointment of George McCarthy, business junior, as business manager for the Junior Prom. scheduled for March 1. Matt Betton's orchestra, prominent Kansas State college band which has contracted to play for the dance, will appear at a cost less than the $500 originally called for; it also was learned Saturday
No new Varsity dance manager has been appointed as yet, but the matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the committee.
The quest for part-time jobs this semester has far exceeded the number of positions available to men students, Willis Tompkins, head of the men's employment bureau, said today.
At present about 30 applications are on file, though almost the same number already have been placed. Only a few specialized jobs are now available.
More Part-Time Jobs Needed By Students
"This demand for jobs has shown a decided increase over the number of applications received last fall," Mr. Tompkins asserted.
An extensive search for jobs is now being conducted by the bureau among Lawrence business establishments and University offices. Robert W. Taylor, College senior, has been added as part-time assistant to Mr. Tompkins and James Morrow, College sophomore, in interviewing and placement.
WEATHER
Kansas–Fair, warmer east and south today. Mostly cloudy tonight and tomorrow with light drizzle extreme west. Slightly warmer extreme east tonight. Low 32 to 36. Coldder west and north Tuesday.
