Phone Strike Starts Over U.S.
(By United Press)
Telephone installation workers left their jobs in 14 cities today, threatening a nationwide communications tie-up and bringing the number of American workers idled by strikes to 389.000.
The strike of Western Electric company installation men for the Southwestern Bell Telephone company began in Kansas City today as about 100 men handling installation work for the telephone company left their jobs during the morn-
(Employees of the Lawrence telephone company had had no word of a local strike pending here today, union members said. A vote was being taken today among telephone operators in regard to a strike and results will be announced tomorrow. Lawrence phones, except those on the campus, were silent for a four-hour period Oct. 4 when telephone operators met to demonstrate their disapproval of an NLRB ruling.)
mg.) Threatened stoppages in the steel, meat, electrical and communications industries, plus a possible New York city CIO walkout, would add approximately two million other workers to the nation's strike total.

Cities affected include Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, El Paso, Tex., and San Francisco. New York workers were scheduled to go out at 2 p.m., after receiving assurances that other telephone unions in the city would honor their picket lines.

Latin America Needs U.S. College Men.
Latin America needs college men from the United States, Prof. W. H. Shoemaker, of the department of romance languages, said in his talk on "Our Relations with Latin America," last night in Fraser theater.
Although most Latin American republics specify that 85 per cent of their "white collar" jobs be held by natives, this country can furnish experts in the scientific, technical, and management fields, Professor Shoehm explained.
Shoehner Expansion:
“Our future relations with Latin America are more promising than with any other part of the world,” he declared. “Despite wide differences in culture and environment, we have much in common. There is no threat of war, a regional United Nations organization already operates, and our trade can expand,” he continued.

Even A Penny Deserves Respect It Buys More Than You Think

It isn't often a penny buys any thoughts, but sometimes a penny can be used for something else besides paying sales tax.
If the operator insists that a nickel must be put in the pay phone and the idea of spending a nickel for such an insignificant call seems absurd, a penny can be used with great success. It's all in knowing how and what's more, the penny comes back.
For instance, right here on the campus one cent will buy a squirt of ink or a swipe of paste at the library. Down at the post office you can buy a one-cent stamp to stick on that scenic postcard of the K.U. campus.
gum, one cent, please, is highly recommended.
On the practical side of life, any book store will be glad to sell a pencil, an eraser, or a few rubber bands for a penny. A bit of advice to the person who has a long wait in a train or bus station, a penny in the slot will bring forth "five salted peanuts." A little box of matches costs only one cent or, if you prefer, three match folders cost only one-hundredth of one dollar.

Lack of Space Snags Plans For Book Store
The campus book store will not be opened this year, and lack of a suitable location may hold it up even beyond next September. Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, told the All-Student Council last night.
"There is a possibility of using the proposed recreation room in the sub-basement of the Union as retail space for a book store in rush times at the beginning of each semester," Dean Werner said. "This would necessitate giving up the recreation room for about 10 days or two weeks at that time."
No provision for such a project was made in the plans for the extension to the Union building, Dean Werner told the group. He said the committee has investigated possibilities of establishing a book store in the basement of Spooner Thayer, but that other groups had already spoken for that space.
Mary Jo Cox, Council president, asked that the recreation committee meet with the book store committee and report their findings at the next Council meeting.
The Council voted last night to have published the names of all persons fined by the student court for violation of campus regulations.
Since most fines have been for either smoking or parking violations, the list will be published with smoking rules. The council smoking committee will meet soon with the buildings and grounds directors to discuss locations of smoking and non-smoking districts.
Transportation for the Council members who will go to Manhattan as guests of the Kansas Stats Student Council will be paid from the All-Student Council fund, the Council voted last night.
The All-Student Council will be guests at an informal dinner at the Gillette hotel at 5:45, and will attend the basketball game later in the evening. Members of the Jay Jones and the Ku Ku club will go with the Council to Manhattan in a bag which has been chartered for the trip. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, a visitor of women, has given the woman a return deadline of 1 a.m.
Members absent last night were Wendell Nickellet, Cecil Langford, Dean Corder, Robert Witt, Prinzana Jackson, and Lloyd Eisenhower.
K.U.-M.U. Debaters Will Meet Tonight

Orville Roberts, College senior, and Jean Moore, College junior, will represent the University with the affirmative on "Resolved, that the United States should adopt a program of compulsory military training."
Mr. Roberts is winner of the Missouri Valley conference debating contest, and Mr. Moore holds the conference title for extemporaneous speaking.
