SOCIALLY SPEAKING
ELINOR BROWNE, Society Editor
Parties scheduled for the weekend range from the sublime to the ridiculous. At the Army and Navy R.O. T.C. formal ball tonight sophistication and "swishy" formals will take the spotlight. Charles Steeper's band will furnish the background.
At the Union carnival tomorrow night anything can happen. Booths sponsored by organized houses may range from dice rolling to kiss-o-meters. The winning booth will receive the "Karnival Kup." Charles Steeper and his band will play for the couples who want to dance. At intermission, more entertainment is planned.
Several costume parties will be held by organized houses. The Kappa Sig's "Red Dog Inn" will be in western style. Those attending the Sigma Nu party will be dressed as upstairs chambermaids and butlers. The Pi K.A. "Twelfth Street Brawl" also will be in costume.
Plaid shirts and blue jeans will be the attire at the Thanksgiving dance to be given by the Sigma Chi pledges and the Sunflower Dames' barn dance.

The library has a new asphalt tile floor and a new ceiling. All the oll plaster was removed, and metal laths were used in replastering. The central part of the ceiling consists of material which will deaden the sound of moving chairs.
Radio Club Elects Gratny,
Cole, Carroll To Offices
Paul Gratty, Engineering junior was elected president of the University Radio club Thursday. Zane Cole was elected vice-president, and Lewis Carroll activities manager.
Although no constitution was set up, the object of the club was declared to be assisting members in obtaining radio licenses and in learning radio code.
The club is now carrying out a search for a small room to hold transmitting equipment. Once the equipment is located, the members will operate it themselves to send world-wide radio messages.
Police Station Smells But Oh. So Sweet
Somerville, Mass. (UP)—Somerville vilels smell swell.
An ingenious member of the police department rigged up an atomizer on the door of headquarters so that every time it is opened a sweet-scented disinfectant is sprayed into the building.
So frequently is the door used, however, that the office smells like the perfume department in a store.
COEDS' CORNER
'Woody' Heads Student Union, Has Finger In Other 'Pies'
Managing Student Union activities is no small job, but Joan Woodward, College junior from Kansas City, Mo., still gets her finger in many other "pies."
A major in speech and drama, her major interests are dabbling in the fields of law and bacteriology, with a great deal of "Unionology."
"Woody," who is the president of $ \textcircled{4} $
Woody, who is the president of Student Union activities, is also chairman of its executive board. She is secretary-treasurer of the junior class, a member of the Forensic league, W.A.A., and Pi Beta Phi sorority. She also is on the social committee of the All-Student Council.
Before the present chairman for Sunflower activities was elected, Joan served in this capacity, running two unions simultaneously. She was a member of the committee which planned Homecoming. This is her second year as a cheerleader for K.U.
During her first two years at the University, "Woody" belonged to Tau Sigma, Dramatic workshop, and was on the Jayhawker magazine staff.
When a freshman, she was on the freshman executive board. That year, the freshman class, for which she was social chairman, was the only class that gave a party, which makes "Woody" proud.
"Woody" is breaking a precedent set by former Union activities presidents. In previous years, the president has lost from 10 to 15 pounds a year. But this year, the executive board has monthly dinners, which if anything, are causing the scale to go the other way.
The Union carnival Saturday night is sponsored by Union activities, but "Woody" gives most of the credit of its management to Keith Wilson, vice-president.
She is leaving Monday for week's trip to the University of
JOAN WOODWARD
***
Michigan to study its system of unions.
"Next fall, when my Union presidency expires," she said. "I'd like to start being in plays, because I love it." She was in the play "Hay Fever," last year.
Through her cheerleading, "Woody" has acquired a special talent in singing.
"During football season I have about one day a week when I have my natural voice," she said. "It helps though, because in the coming sing, I'm going to sing bass for the Pi Phi's."

About 70 will wear navy dress blues with overshirts hats.

students, will wear olive drab.

Clinch Speaks To Frost On Unemployment Relief
Eighteenth century France had shovel leaners and hole diggers as adept at the art as any 20th century W. P. A. worker, Vermie Clinch, graduate student, told members of Phi Alpha Theta, national history fraternity, at a meeting Thursday afternoon in the Kansas room of the Union.
Clinch, fraternity vice-president, used his graduate thesis "Unemployment Relief During the Period of the French Revolution" to show parallels between unemployment relief problems that beset the French republic and those of modern America.
Rose L. Coughlin, president welcomed prospective members who were served coffee and introduced to student and faculty members of the club.
