To Report For Jobs Every Two Weeks
Men wanting jobs must report every two weeks to 228 Frank Strong hall, office of the dean of men, between 2-4 p.m. on week days, and from 9-12 a.m. on Saturdays, to keep their applications active. This rule is set up to eliminate the "dead timber" Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, asserted.
"We have between 300 and 400 applications for jobs. Unfortunately there are many who don't want jobs body. We feel that those not interested will drop out," Mr. Tompkins added.
Instead of phoning applicants when a job occurs, the bureau will send out a form card which is to be returned by a set date. If the card is not returned the job goes to someone else. This is also a recent rule.
A file for miscellaneous jobs is being set up. This will enable the bureau to place persons for "short" jobs more rapidly. Students should watch employment bulletins outside the office for job openings.
Hild Released From Hospital
Wayne Hild, freshman engineer who was injured in an automobile accident Friday night, was released from Lawrence Memorial hospital Sunday.
The accident occured when the Chevrolet coach in which Hild was passenger collided with a parked Plymouth sedan belonging to L. E. Siler of Sunbower. The Chevrolet had swerved to avoid hitting a black Nash coupe which stopped in front of it without warning.
Hild was admitted to the hospital for treatment of lacerations on his head and face.
Typed Directory Will Be Furnished For Election
Typewritten drafts of the student directory will be furnished to the student election committee for the election Oct. 22, James K. Hitt, registrar, said today.
"The list will be complete and accurate as far as the student's name and classification is concerned." Mr. Hitt said, "but a further check for additional information must be made before the directory can be issued."
Veterans' Class Cards Must Be Turned In
Veterans who are anxiously awaiting that first subsistence check must make sure their class schedule cards are filed with the Veterans Training service, Dr. E. R. Elbel, director, said today.
A letter from the regional office of the Veterans Administration in Kansas City states that if all necessary forms reach that office today, veterans will receive their subsistence checks not later than Nov. 2. Dr. Elbel related. The Kansas City office is processing from 500 to 600 forms a day, the letter said.
All necessary forms are now in the Kansas City office, Dr. Elbel explained, except where the K.U. office has been unable to get veterans' class schedule cards.
Mertz Will Speak At Town Hall Meet
Edward Mertz, director of education for the Kansas farmer's union, will speak at the Y.M.C.A. town hall meeting at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow night in the Kansas room of the Union building. His subject will be, "Cooperatives in our free enterprise system."
Thomas Page, political science instructor, and Keith Martin, economics instructor, will lead the panel discussion following the speech.
This is the first meeting for the town hall series, and is sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. cabinet and the cooperative committee. The special theme of the meeting is, "Social responsibility," and the general theme of the series is "Pointing up social issues."
Entries Exceed Twenty' Mark In Float Contest
Twenty-three floats have been entered in Friday night's Homecoming parade and rally, the Lawrence chamber of commerce said today. The deadline is still two days away.
First entry was made by Alpha Tau Omega, second by Phi Delta Theta and the third entry was made by Pi Kappa Alpha. Although parade positions are assigned in order of entry, plenty of good places are still available to those who enter floats before Wednesday noon.
Regardless of whether houses entering floats need transportation furnished them by the chamber of commerce, the houses must register their entries by the deadline. The chamber has promised to find trucks to carry floats, if trucks are requested
No private cars or commercial vehicles will be allowed in the parade and cars decorated with streamers will not be considered floats.
Prizes offered in the float contest are $10 for first place, $8 for second place and $5 for third, fourth and fifth places.
Clarence Bleissner, Lawrence chief of police, has been named grand marshal of the parade which will include the Lawrence police department, an array of the colors of the University and various veterans' and service organizations, the K.U. band, the Jay Jane-Ku Ku float, cheerleaders and Jay Janes, more than a score of organized house floats, the Haskell and Lawrence Memorial high school bands and floats and the Community Chest float.

Little Man On Campus
By Bibler
Hosler Takes Wood Alcohol For Medicine—Feels Fine
This must be what they call 'higher education.'
Wilda Hosler, Corbin hall, had a cough, drank wood alcohol, and lives to tell it.
This morning she swallowed her medicine from the wrong bottle. "They look so much alike," she insisted.
Watkins hospital-authorities advised her to call a doctor. The doctor told her to drink two glasses of milk. As a consequence, Wilda's condition is satisfactory, but the psychological effects were frightening.
Carlson's Daughter Predicts Close Race
Eunice Carlson, 19 - year - old daughter of Rep. Frank Carlson, Re-publican candidate for governor who speaks here tonight, predicts that this year's gubernatorial race will be a close one.
"I wish I were old enough to vote," the blonde junior who's a psychology major from Concordia sighed.
An active member of the K.U. Young Republican club, Miss Carlson is aiding her father's campaign indirectly by helping to solicit memberships to that organization. Politics is not new to her because she has lived more than half her life in Washington, D.C., with her congressman father.
She decided to attend the University because she wanted to 're-acquaint myself with Kansans.'
"After all, I had spent only three school years in Kansas and they were my first three." Miss Carlson added nastily.
She has not overlooked the possibility of living in the governor's mansion at Topeka, believing it would be "grand, because I'd be so close to home."
A member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, Miss Carlson is chapter marshal. She is also active in Y.W.C.A., and the Sociology and Psychology clubs. Although not considering any particular career, she is training for personnel work.
Although Representative Carlson has campaigned for office for the past 12 years, his daughter has never accompanied him on a tour. She usually has been in school during campaigns. She plans to continue her work at K.U. regardless of the election.
Adroitly sidestepping election issues, Miss Carlson declared, "my political views are the same as my father's."
Miss Carlson characterizes herself as the outdoor type, listing her favorite sports as football, fishing, and horseback riding. She is a former member of Spur club, women's equestrian organization.
27 Students Take Western Civ Test
Twenty-seven students were in Snow hall Saturday morning to take the first Western Civilization examination this semester.
Grades will be mailed to those students who left postal cards in the Western Civilization office in Fowler shops. Otherwise, grades may be obtained from the registrar's office at the end of the semester.
The next test will be given Jan. 18 for those who have finished the required two semesters of work or who feel they are ready for the final exam.
No More Parking Permits To Be Issued This Month
No more parking permits will be issued until November, the University parking committee has decided.
By then, it can be determined how effective the new zoning system is. Applications for November approval now are being accepted at the business office.
Approximately 1,000 permits have been approved. Permits which have not been picked up at the business office will be cancelled.
Carlson Will Speak At 8 Tonight In Hoch
Frank Carlson, Republican candidate for governor, will speak at 8 onight in Hoch auditorium at a rally sponsored by the K.U. Young Republicans club.
The Republican candidate's main reason is coming here, Groom said, is to tell the students "the truth on some of the controversial questions of the campaign."
He will have a special message to University students and veterans and take a definite stand on the liquor question, housing, and school problems, Robert Groom, state college, said today.
Bob Douglas and his band will play at the rally.
Class Cuts Expensive Under G.I. Bill
Class cuts are expensive luxuries for veterans.
If a married veteran cuts three class periods in one day, it will cost him $3 or $1 a course hour. For a single veteran, the figures are $2.17 a day or roughly 72 cents an hour—deducted from his accumulated leave pay.
Under the G.I. Bill of Rights, veterans in training are entitled to accumulated leave pay at the rate of "2½ days a month, not to exceed 30 days for a 12-month period." Unauthorized class absences, however, are deducted from a trainee's leave entitlement at the discretion of the Veterans administration, according to Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of K.U. veterans training service .
Trainees are paid at the same rate as that on which their subsistence allowances are based but cannot receive the leave pay unless they request it. Dr. Elbel explained.
If a trainee requests payment for leave, it simply means that his accumulated leave time will be deducted from his period of entitlement to training under the G.I. Bill, Dr. Elbel pointed out.
"Thus, if a trainee has a short period of entitlement, he ought not request leave time," Dr. Elbel cautioned.
Class absences caused by illness are reported to the Veterans administration in Kansas City and the decision as to whether or not such absences are authorized is up to the regional office, Dr. Elbel said. Sick absences under Public law 16 (for disabled veterans) are given more leniency than those under Public law 346, he added.
Midweek Dances Outgrow Union
The midweek dances have outgrown the Union and will be held in the Military Science building, Larry McSpadden, Varsity dance manager, said today.
These dances are to be sponsored by the social committee of the All Student Council instead of the Union Activities.
No Midweek dance will be held this week because of the transfer of the Midweek arrangements.
