9,000 Dimes Is Campus Goal To Fight Polio
Nine thousand dimes is the goal set by the University march of dimes committee.
This campaign, which is part of the national drive to fight infantile paralysis, will be participated in by every major student organization on the campus.
Beginning Monday and lasting through the week, it will be ended by a semi-formal dance in the Military science building Jan. 25 featuring various stunts and an intermission floor show, William Perkins, committee chairman announced today.
Collection booths will be set up in Watson library, the Union, and Frank Strong hall. They will be manned during the five day campaign by personnel from all organizations participating.
All organized houses will compete for the largest per capita contribution.
"We hope that student generosity will be as great toward this cause as it was in 1922 toward another charitable cause, when $2,200, the largest donation in the country, was raised by the University for aid to starving Czech students," stated Dean Henry Werner, whose office of dean of student affairs will be a "clearing house" for the campaign.
Organizations participating will be the All Student Council Ku Ku's, WM.C.A., Y.W.C.A., Jay Janes, K club, Inter-Fraternity council, Independent student association, Union activities, Mortar Board, Pan Hellicide, Alpha Phi Omega, and Sachem.

Congress Introduces Bills To Repeal Wagner Act
Washington. (UP) — Nearly a dozen major labor bills have been introduced in the house and senate. Two of the measures seeks to repeal the Wagner labor relations act, which guarantees collective bargaining rights and sets up machinery for enforcement.
Most of the others are designed to amend the Wagner act. Several would outlaw the closed shop. Others would create new agencies with broad powers to handle disputes threatening the public welfare or would empower federal courts to enter many labor disputes with injunctions.
Southern Senators May Filibuster Anti-Filibuster
Washington. (UP)—Southern senators organized forces today for all an-out fight against Republican antiflubuster legislation. While no definite strategy was adopted, some of the Southern Democrats indicated they might resort to a filibuster to defeat antiflubuster legislation.
Several acknowledged that their immediate fear was that Republicans were clearing the way for passage of anti-poll tax, anti-lynching, and mandatory fair employment practices legislation.
'Largest Block Market Ring In Sugar' Is Smashed
Albuquerque, N.M. (UP)—Operation of what was termed the largest sugar black market ring in the nation's history was believed smashed with the arrest of a Hobbs, N. M., bottling plant owner.
Operations involved four states, including Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, and Colorado. U.S. District Attorney Everett M. Grantham said that A.M. Bartlett, the bottling plant owner, had been arrested for alleged violation of sugar rationing regulations, and that a former sugar rationing clerk was sought.
Vet Wage Ceilings Attacked
Washington. (UP)—Congress was told that ceilings placed on incomes of veterans in educational and on-the-job training programs are creating hardships and causing many ex-servicemen to lose "all hope for the future." Rep. Errett P. Serviner, (R-Kan.) made the charge in a house speech introducing a bill to repeal the ceilings.

AVC Broadcasts 'Dear Everybody,' Appeals To '1947 College Man'
"Dear Everybody," the KFKU program sponsored and produced by members of the local American Veterans committee, is being transcribed and distributed to broadcasting stations throughout the Midwest through the AVC Kansas City regional office.
The next broadcast of "Dear Everybody" will be at 2:45 p.m. tomorrow, when the topic will be law legislation.
"Dear Everybody" is particularly addressed to the "1947 college man,
BusinessDemand Exceeds Supply
Students who will graduate from the School of Business this February face a radiant aspect so far as the labor market is concerned.
According to Frank Pinet, director of the Business placement bureau, demand for the February graduates exceeds the supply by 400 per cent.
"Approximately 90 per cent of Business School graduates are placed by the bureau," related Mr. Pinet. "This is a relatively high percentage considering the fact that all graduates do not use the placement bureau's services."
The service was started in 1927, two years after the School of Business was organized in the University. Since that time, it has acted as liaison between job-seeking graduates and industry.
"The placement bureau is not only open to Business school students," Mr. Pinet added. "We will interview anyone who is contemplating entering the field of business. Engineers, Spanish, French, and English majors, or anyone in any field of study are welcomed and urged to come in with all the vocational desires. There seem to be the misconception that the placement bureau is for business majors only.
"Naturally the salary corresponds to the type of work one is seeking, his qualifications and the prospective market for his particular talent." Mr. Pinet continued. "The majority of openings are in the Middle West and geographically speaking, wage agreements have been quite satisfactory."
Between three and five firms send representatives to the bureau's offices each week, so if you are ready to start on your career in the near future, go to the second floor of Frank Strong hall and see Mr. Pinet.
Russian Club Will Sponsor Movie On Russia Today
A movie. "This Is Russia," sponsored by the Russian club will be shown in the projection room of the visual education division, basement of Fraser hall, 4:30 today.
Mrs. Sam Solovieitchl, instructor of Russian, will explain the movie at the regular meeting of the club, Tuesday.
who doesn't do doctor, he misses out. the ten weeks that it has been on the air, it has covered housing, consumer problems, the atom bomb, and many other serious topics of the day, but it has endeavored to do this in a manner that makes a point without lecturing.
Russell Barrett, assistant instructor in political science, is script writer, producer, and plays the character of "Father" in the program. Other members of the cast include Thomas Rea, College sophomore, as the "Vigilant Vet": Roberta Sanderson, College freshman, as his wife; and Henry Haworth, College freshman, the announcer, and also the voice of the "Senator," an individual not dissimilar to the celebrated Mr. Claghorn.
"We try to approach questions on a fairly down to earth and practical basis, without reading off long lists of statistics and quotes that might bore our listeners." Mr. Barreti said. "We even include some humor to keep our listeners awake."
An average broadcast has the conventional introduction by the announcer, then fades into a letter being read aloud by the "Vigilant Vet." In his letter, he states the problem of the day, then the scene fades away to an imaginary living room parlor, where the discussion is carried on between himself, his wife, and "Dad." At some time during this discussion, they turn on the radio, and on comes the Senator, who seems to have all of the characteristics that the 1947 college man presumably should not have.
One change in the program was made by the violinist. Because of recent performances of the "Mendelssohn Concerto in D Minor" at KU, listed on the program as the second number, Mr. Stern substituted the "Concerto in D. Minor" by Andrea Wieniwski.
Isaac Stern, Russian-born violinist,
presented a concert to a large audience in Hoch auditorium Monday night.
At the end of the program Mr. Stern presented two encores in answer to audience request. The first was "Hora Staccato" by Dinicu, transcribed for violin by Heifetz, and the second was "Slavonic Dance in E Minor" composed by Dvorak and transcribed by Krisler.

But They Came From Here
Call it "housing" if you will, but this is what the Andes family movea from when the signal finally came to move into Sunnyside. It's an old, patched-up stone and brick garage, and it was unheated. But—as Professor Andes said—it was "better than nothing."
