UNO May Vote 'Cool Off' Delay
New York. (UP)—The United Nations security council may adjourn today until Monday or Tuesday for a "cooling off" period, after a second public hearing of Iran's case against Russia, council sources said.
Russia's chief delegate, Andrei A. Gromyko, who walked out of the council when delegates insisted on hearing Iran without granting a Soviet-demanded adjournment, said that he was not sure whether he would attend today's meeting, but other members did not expect him.
Polish delegate Oscar Lange, sole supporter of Russia, was believed in touch with Gromyko discussing tactics for the meeting to be at 3 p.m.
The council was ready to hear an Anglo-American plan which it was hoped would take some of the heat off the Iranian crisis and possibly induce Gromyko to call off his boycott.
Meanwhile in Moscow, the council's decision to discuss Iran in Russia's absence was interpreted by Red newspapers as a gesture of hostility toward the Soviet Union.
Strike Won't Affect K.U. Coal Supply
"The threatened soft coal strike will have no direct effect on the University heating or power system," C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said today.

"The University will be indirectly effected." Mr. Bayles remarked, "if the soft coal strike should last very long. A coal strike would effect the steel industry so that they could not furnish us with pipe and other supplies which we are-planning to buy for underground use at the various buildings.

Dandelion Day To Be April 10
Dandelion Day will begin this year when the whistle blows at 4 p.m. April 10.
The day's program will include Y. W.C.A. refreshment stands on the campus and a two hour street dance that night, under the joint sponsorship of the All-Student Council and the Jay Janes.
This is, of course, in addition to the usual dandelion digging which begins at 4 p.m. and continues until the end of the dance.
Begun in 1941, Dandelion Day has existed in varying forms since. In 1942, when students were not able to get the desired time off, the faculty members devoted an afternoon to uprooting the weed.
Organizing Dandelion Day this year is a Jay Jane committee, Jane Miller and Anne Young, co-chairmen, and the A.S.C. social committee. Billie Hamilton, chairman.
The dance, to be financed by the All-Student Council, is being arranged by the Union Activities committee.
Other committees appointed for Dandelion Day include: Pritz - Rue Cawood, chairman; Weighing - Virginia Wickert and Edith Darby; Y.W.C.A. food stands, Marjorie Robbins.
Tentative dance plans call for a two-hour street dance in front of the library.

Memorial Drive Asks $10,000 From Students
The campus campaign to promote interest in and raise funds for the $500,000 World War II Memorial begins April 8.
The goal set for University students is $10,000, Nancy Tomlinson, chairman of the student drive committee announced at a dinner meeting of the group last night.
Hildreth Stong, Engineering junior, is in charge of publicity for the project. A four page paper, edited by Catherine Piller, College sophomore, will be given out to all students on the beginning day of the drive.
Members of the Forensic League, under the direction of E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, will give talks on the campanile, carillon, and proposed memorial drive in all organized houses. A forum board in the Union is planned for students not living in organized houses. The committee feels that much antipathy toward the memorial is caused by a lack of knowledge of what it actually is. Miss Tomlinson said.
A variety show, sponsored by the student committee, is planned for early May, with Orville Roberts, College senior, and Ann Alexander, Fine Arts freshman, in charge.
The student committee will meet to check progress on campaign plans in Green hall at 7 p.m. Thursday.

enter the contest because no individual can win this honor twice.
Moore and Roberts will participate in the extemporaneous speaking event, of which Moore is defending champion from last year's conference. They will argue the affirmative side of the debate, "Resolved that congress should pass compulsory legislation for arbitration for labor disputes." Jim Crook, Business junior, and Robert McKay, graduate student, will defend the negative side of the issue for the University.
