ASC Will Back Freshman Dance Extra Jayhawker
One-half of the cost of a freshman class dance will be underwritten by the A. S. C. and $15 will be added to the $60 already budgeted by the Y. W. C. A. as a result of a meeting of the All-Student Council last night. Council members also voted their approval of sending the Jayhawker profits back to the Jayhawker advisory board for the publication of a fourth issue of the magazine.
Dewey Nemec, council treasurer, was asked to find out the amount of money in the council treasury and how much will come to the council from the winter semester activity tickets.
Investigate Quiz Files
Investigation of possibilities for quiz files in the library will be conducted by a special comitee composed of Jean McIntire, College freshman, Laura Jean Templeton, sophomore in the School of Fine Arts; and Bob Campbell, College sophomore. The committee will find out how other schools run similar files.
In asking the Council to underwrite one-half the cost of a freshman dance, John Irwin, freshman engineer, said that the estimated expenses would be $300.
Jayhawker Receives Profits
Any profits the Jayhawker makes after it has created a $2,000 emergency fund go to the council budget, according to the A. S. C. bill of publications. Last year's profits, which were between $500 and $600, are in the process of being transferred to the council. The council will not, therefore, be appropriating any money to the Jayhawker by its action, but will be expressing its approval of sending the profits back to the Jayhawker council. In making a request for a return of the profits, the Jayhawker staff indicated that it would turn back any amount not used in putting out the fourth issue.
In the absence of both Persis Snook, president, and Doris Bixby, vice-president, Jack Button, council secretary, was in charge of the meeting.

British-Greek Policy Outlined
London — (INS) — British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden today outlined Britian's policy in Greece before a turbulent house of commons, but promised that Prime Minister Churchill will appear tomorrow to more fully answer the question of members.
Eden said the future status of Italy's colonies in Libia and Tripoli must wait upon the consideration of the United Nations at the end of the war. He denied any knowledge of an agreement between Russia and France for the ceding of the Ruhr, the Saar, and the Rhine valley from the Reich.

Kinda' Slick Out Today
University students who had 8:30 classes this morning were surprised when leaving at 9:30 to notice that it had been raining during the hour and were literally knocked off their feet when they learned that rain was not only wet in the air, but also ice on the sidewalks.
Several grinders (?) upon emerging from the library unknowingly started down the steps. After a series of turns, flops, rolls, and sideswipes, they regained their composure feeling like they had just taken a ride in a General Sherman tank, muttering, "Kind of slick out this morning, isn't it?"
New Navy League Hopes for ROTC Here
Although the hospital reported no admittance as yet of any students with broken bones, misplaced vertebrates, or mutilated faces, the day is not over, and several students who no doubt hate to miss classes for any such minor things may go later. (Sarcasm intended).
