TWA Strike Cancels Flights
Washington. (UP) - Pilots of Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc., struck for higher pay today and a few hours later the company cancelled all flights on its domestic and international system for a 24-hour period.
David L. Behncke, president of the Air Line Pilots association, said the walkout "is a full-fledged strike in every sense of the term" but that the union would take precautions to avoid inconvenience to the public or to the government.
He said airmail enroute when the strike began would not be delayed while passengers would be taken to a division point.
Freight now enroute in the United States is being transferred to other means of transportation. The airline has notified the U.S. government it cannot accept mail for shipment and is now transferring mail to other means of transportation.
Transcontinental flights were stopped at Kansas City when pilots waived away from their planes and settled their aircraft in their east or west coast destinations.

To the students who found Daily Kansan circulation boxes empty when they looked for a copy of Friday's paper:
We're Sorry
We apologize for not being able to distribute enough papers in time to satisfy everyone's interest in the news that day. We started the press three hours early, but even that reserve supply of papers was exhausted quickly.
Again, we're sorry for the disturance, but Homecoming doesn't come every week, you know.
To the instructors whose afternoon classes were slightly disrupted by students,reading the paper:
Freshman Vote Can Decide Balance Of Power On Student Council
Incidentally, Friday's Kansan, the biggest since the war started, also had the largest student circulation in campus history.
By BILL HAGE (Daily Kansan Managing Editor)
Tomorrow freshmen students go to the polls to elect class officers and two All-Student Council representatives.
The election will be of importance particularly to the four main campus political parties because the balance of power on the A.S.C could be upset if the minority faction wins both council seats.
The Pachacamac-N,O,W. combina-
The Pachacamac-N.O.W. commission have a 10 to 7 majority of voting members. (In "and" one-fourth of the elected members dissent on an issue, group representatives are not counted as voters/members.)
If the P.S.G.L.Independents faction should win tomorrow, the absence of only one member of a party could change the balance of power for that meeting.
Although campus politics is usually spoken as Greek and non-Greek, the division is not rigid. During the past spring's election, Howard Engleman, successful Pachacamac candidate for council president, received more votes than the total possible from fraternities and sororites.
The usual policy governing choice of candidates is that HS.G.L. and Independents swap places on the ballot while Pachacamac and N.O.W. dicker for each other's support.
The Independent women's party was formed in the fall of 1944.
To acquaint tonight's voters with the various political parties, the Daily Kansan here presents thumbnail sketches of the parties in alphabetical order. A fifth party composed of men from the Sunflower barracks is planning a write-in campaign because the group was not the largest candidates to be included on the ballot.
INDEPENDENTS
Membership is open to all women students not affiliated with a social sorority. Until last spring, the Independent were a part of the Independent Student Association but now have no connection with the I.S.A.
Party policies are determined by a senate composed of 12 women from University dormitories and 12 members-at-large who live in organized or unorganized rooming houses. The members at large are elected to the senate by the Independents cabinet on the basis of past service in the I.S.A. or the Independents party.
Other party officers are John Irwin, vice-president; Glenn Kappelman, secretary; Mike Winsor, treasurer; and Earl Stanton, campaign manager. Members of the executive council are Ong, Stanton, Jim Swenson, Bob Barnes and, Don Pomeroy. BSCI
The executive body of the Independents party is the cabinet. It is composed of four dormitory women. Alberta Moe is president, Marjorie Vogel is vice-president, Sheryl Holland is secretary, and Maxine Bell is treasurer.
N. O.W.
Effect of the merger was to combine forces of the sorority elements of both old parties. While no nonsorority women are members of N.O.W. now, independent women are eligible for membership in N.O.W. Bonnie Holden, N.O.W. president, states.
N. O.W., women's party, was formed the past spring as parts of two former political parties, the W.I.G.S. and the P.W.C.L. merged
Pachacamac now represents men from 15 social fraternities. However, membership in the party still is open to both Greeks and independents, Donald Ong, president, says.
In addition to the president, other officers of N.O.W. are Betty Mallonee, vice-president; Nancy Goering, campaign manager; Dolores Custer, secretary; and Alice Goldsworthy, treasurer.
In 1943, however, the independent movement began organizing and all independents who had been members of Pachacamac pulled out of the party, leaving only fraternity men.
Pachacamac, men's party, was formed just before World War I and then World War II was completed of both fraternity and independent mgen.
PACHACAMAC
The Progressive Student Governing League was formed in 1955. Then as now, its membership included both Greek and independent men.
The party's membership includes Beta Theta Pi and four organized men's dormitories and men from unorganized houses, George Caldwell, P.S.G.L. president, states. Membership is open to any student, he added.
P.S.G.L.
P. S.G.L. is controlled by a senate which elects party officers. In addition to Caldwell, members are Wilbur Noble, vice-president Dale Rummer, general secretary; Austin Turney, recording secretary; and Eugene Casement, activities chairman.
University Club Men To Hear Sauer On 'Inside Of Football'
An off-the-record discussion of the "Inside of K.U. Football" will be the feature of the first men's smoker of the University club, to be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the classrooms, $1007 \frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts street.
Coach George Sauer will speak to the smoker, and will diagram the top plays of the Nebraska-K.U. grid game Saturday. He also will show motion pictures of the entire game.
W.S.S.F. Campaign Will Start Nov. 4
Split $5,000 two ways and you get
$2.500.
Half of $5,000 is KU's quota for the World Student Service fund for which the campus campaign opens Nov. 4. The other half goes to the Community Chest fund.
Donations for the World Student Service fund will go overseas to rehabilitate foreign students and universities in war-torn Europe and Asia. This money will be used to buy books and construct new buildings and other educational facilities.
The first W.S.S.F. drive was held on the campus in January, 1944. Books were collected and sent to students and allied prisoners of war all over the world.
100 Try For Waiver
Of Language Requirements
This year's national goal has been set at two million dollars. A portion of this fund will be used to support two large tuberculosis rest homes in southern France and Switzerland, as well as student war victims.
Campus chairmen are Meredith Heinsohn and Keith Congdon.
One hundred students took the language proficiency examinations at 10 a.m. Saturday in Frank Strong hall. Those who pass the tests will be relieved of the University language requirement.

'Russia Casts Cloud Over War's Goal'
The political interest of the Russians, "has cast a cloud over the whole purpose of World War II." Tom Yarbrough, St. Louis Associated Press chief and former war correspondent, declared here Saturday Mr. Yarbrough was speaking to 325 Kansas editors at the University's annual editors day. The record group also heard Oscar Stauffer, Topeka, Kansas publisher, report on his recent tour of the British zone of occupation in Germany.
What we have now "isn't true peace," Mr. Yarbrough declared. "The situation now is merely a continuation of the war, by other means."
"The Paris peace conference was just the battle of Paris. I don't think we're any nearer one world than we were at the end of the first world war."
