Spring Elections In 10th Week A.S.C. Decides
An amendment to the All Student council constitution specifying that the 10th week of classes of the spring semester will be the time for the University general elections was passed last night.
Freshman elections will be held on Thursday of the seventh week of school, according to a second section of the amendment passed by the council. Approval by the chancellor is required for the amendment to become final.
A second amendment was passed which named the official positions to be filled at the freshman election, and also outlined voting eligibility.
The council also acted on an appropriation for the Victory dance held Monday, yearly budgets of several committees, and a second U.N. conference for the University.
Request for an appropriation to cover expenses of the victory dance Monday was made by the council treasurer, Carroll McCue. The council decided to delegate funds to pay for the band and a trophy presented to the team. An additional request to cover the rental of the hall and public address system will be investigated further.
The council withheld further action on the dismissal of two students for illegal "scalping" until a report is made by the special committee appointed to investigate the affair.
Yearly budgets of the statewide activities committee and the Women's executive council were appended. The Women's Executive Council received $250 and the W.E.C.$200.
The request for appropriation for the national United Nations con- fidence to be held on campus next fall was submitted and the motion was tabled pending further investigation.
Absent members of the council were Charles Hall and Wilmer Landon.

A bill providing that vacancies of class representatives to the council will be filled by appointment of the council president was submitted for consideration at the next meeting.
Eloise Hodgson, head of the public relations committee urged council members to support the drive to sell Christmas seals now underway at the University.
Bowl Game Remains Doubtful Possibility
Indications today show that the University football team probably will not play in any bowl game New Year's day.
Several football squad members indicated unofficially to the Daily Kansan they intended to "vote against any bowl bid" if the matter reaches them.
But Coach George Sauer still plans to leave the campus Dec. 12 to start his coaching tasks for the East-West game in California.
The signs were thede, despite the announcement that K.U. was in line for a Sun Bowl spot.
A faculty athletic committee will meet tomorrow to consider "several" bids K.U. has received.
And from the realistic financial point of view, the athletic office can see no profit in any bid yet received by the Javhawkers.
Playing in a bowl brings honor and prestige to Mt. Oread, they maintain, but it shouldn't be a losing proposition from the checkbook standpoint.
Main trouble is in the fact that any bowl not yet filled is so small that even at today's high prices, a football crowd couldn't do much more than pay team expenses.

U.S. Cuts Travel Shipping Again
Washington. (UP) The government drastically restricted railroad freight, parcel post and passenger traffic because of dwindling coal supplies.
It upped from 25 to 50 per cent the reduction previously ordered in the passenger service of coal-burning railroads.
Because of the freight embargo limiting the size of parcel post packages, K.U. students can no longer ship laundry bags home if the bags weigh more than 18 pounds or are more than 18 inches in length or more than 60 inches in length and girth combined. Otherwise the coal strike will have little effect on University life.
Classes will not be dismissed as the University heating plant uses fuel oil. Lawrence will not revert to a brown-out because city lightning facilities use natural gas and fuel oil for power.
The transportation situation for students over the Christmas holidays is uncertain now. Two Union Pacific trains serving Lawrence were taken off runs Nov. 24, but local officials predict few other cancellations.
Ray Evans will be asked to speak at the next freshman Y meeting Dec. 17, it was decided at the Y.M.C.A. meeting Tuesday afternoon in Myers hall.
Branch trains usually running every day between Lawrence and Leavenworth, Salina and McPherson, Junction City and Concordia, and Salina and Beloit, will run every other day for the duration of the shortage.
YMCA Will Ask Evans To Speak
Local Santa Fe officials have received no orders to cancel runs.
Also, plans for a combined party with the Y.W.C.A. were discussed Plans for other Y projects were tabled until the next meeting of the cabinet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Y.M.C.A. office.
Modern Choir Tonight
The Modern Choir rehearsal will be held at 7 tonight instead of 7:30 tomorrow night, due to the Fine Arts recital. It will meet in Frank Strong auditorium.
Kansan Will Show Films Of M.U. Game
Color films of the K.U.-Missouri football game will be shown to students at 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser auditorium.
This event, sponsored jointly by the athletic department and the Daily Kansan as a public service, will be free. The films are being shown because of the high interest in the game and the small number of students who were able to see the game in Columbia, Mo.
"Vic" Bradford, assistant football coach, will explain the plays. The film takes about an hour to show, and will be repeated at the Lawrence Community building, on West 11th street, at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
Dr. J. M. Jewett, of the State Geological Survey, and Bruce F. Latta, of the U.S. Geological survey, returned to the campus today after a field conference in Saline county with soil scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Return From Field Trip
Mr. James Burrows, chief of the retraining service at the Wadsworth Veterans hospital, will speak on "Organization of Occupational Therapy Departments in Veterans Hospitals" at a meeting of the Occupational Therapy club at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 103 Frank Strong hall.
OT Club To Hear Burrows
ATO, Kappa Sig Return To IM's
Kappa Sigma and Alpha Tau Omega have been reinstated to intramural competition by action of the intramural executive board Tuesday.
"It is the feeling of the intramural department that both houses have shown a fine spirit in accepting the penalties imposed," Donald Powell, intramural director, said.
"Each organization has urged that it be reinstated, and due to their excellent attitude, the board decided in their favor."
All points earned by the two teams before their disqualification will be counted, Powell said.
The two teams were suspended from competition Nov. 13, for an "unprecedented display of unsportsmanlike conduct" in a touch football game.
Nationalism Fosters Militarism—Realey
"Nationalism promotes militarism and imperialism," Prof. C. B. Realey of the history department told his audience at the Union committee's "coffee forum" Tuesday afternoon in the Kansas room of the Union building.
Other bad points of nationalism are:
It's responsible for most of the modern wars; and it promotes arrogance and self-assertiveness on the part of the citizen toward the foreigner."
Good points of nationalism Prof. Realey mentioned are; it promotes security, prosperity, and an answer to the fundamental need to belong to something, and it brings about the unity of a large number of people.
"Nationalism," he said, "is devotion to the interests of a national state. The term has been so associated with reactionaries and other undesirables that people dislike to be called nationalistic. What we call patriotism in ourselves, we call nationalism in others."
Site Plans To FWA
Plans for the proposed sites for the 10 new K.U. buildings have been submitted to the district engineers' office of the Federal Works administration in Kansas City, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today. When the F.W.A. approves the plans, construction will be started as soon as possible.
Court Recesses As UMW Hints Strike May End
Washington. (UP)—Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today deferred position of contempt penalties on John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers (AFL) amid indications that Mr. Lewis was considering the possibility of calling off the national coal strike.
There was no positive indication that the strike actually would be called off. But it was learned on excellent authority that Mr. Lewis' attorneys had asked Judge Golds-borough what the situation would be if the strike were called off this afternoon.
Judge Goldsborough judged Mr. Lewis and the union guilty of contempt Tuesday for their refusal to obey a temporary court order of Nov. 18 to cancel the walkout of 400.00 soft coal miners.
At 9 a.m. today, the judge called union and government counsel into his chambers for conferences, while the 65-year-old UMW chief strode nervously back and forth in a jury room adjoining the court chamber or conferred with legal aides.
AFL chief counsel Joseph A. Padway was the one who, it was reported, raised the possibility that the mine shutdown might be ended.
He was reported on good authority to have asked Judge Goldsborough what penalties Mr. Lewis and the UMW might expect if, belatedly, they obeyed the Nov. 18 restraining order.
Judge Goldsborough's reply was not learned. Presumably, he would solicit the government's recommendations. The government's attitude was not learned either.
Judge Goldsborough had originally deferred sentencing until today to give government and union counsel a chance to advise him as to what they believed the penalties should be.
The government had indicated it would recommend a jail sentence for Mr. Lewis and a heavy fine-perhaps as much as $200,000 a day until the strike ends—for him and the union.
Judge Goldsborough found the defendants guilty of both civil and criminal contempt for refusing to obey his court order. Under the rules of civil contempt the judge may impose any penalty he considers appropriate.
The prolonged series of discussions in Judge Goldsborough's chambers gave weight to the report that Mr. Lewis was exploring the possibility of ordering the miners back to work.
WEATHER
Kansas—Fair and continued mild today, tonight and Thursday except partly cloudy north Thursday. Low tonight in the 40's except mid-30's northwest.
The Children's Hour-
Sunflower Toddlers Will Vie For Titles
From the睡iest baby to the most bashful tot, the babies of the K.U. veterans will be in there trying.
Vying for titles of the happiest, the most attractive, the sleepiest, the most bashful, the best looking, the best personality and the oorieriest, the K.U. toddlers will go on parade in their baby contest at 3 p.m. Thursday at the Sunflower K.U. Dames club room.
Any offspring of Sunflower veterans attending the University are
eligible for this battle of "personality" in which measurements and other scientific criterion will be ignored.
About 100 children from babies to kindergartners have been entered in the contest sponsored by the K.U. Dames.
Upon arrival with his proud mother Thursday, each toot will be decorated with a large sunflower pin bearing a number. After the children have been divided into four age groups, the most attractive baby will be selected from each section.
A tiny king and queen will be chosen from the four groups at large and the other titles will be bestowed on children from any of the four groups.
Judges for the contest will be Prof. R. H. Wheeler, head of the department of psychology; Henry Werner, dean of student affairs; and Miss Edna Hill, professor of home economics.
And judges ex-officio probably will be 200 mothers and fathers, proudly displaying their sons, and daughters.
