Charles Fink Commits Suicide
Charles Richard Fink, age 19, a pre-medical junior in the College and a resident of Little Rock, Ark., died at 12:15 last night in the Lawrence Memorial hospital from a self-inflicted bullet wound in the right temple. C. A. Fink, father, will arrive tomorrow to take the body to the family home in Little Rock, Ark.
Charles B. Rumsey, coroner, and police stated that Fink committed suicide. No further investigation of the death will
be made, Mr. Rumsey said.
Found at Santa Fe Station
As a substitute proposal, the association recommended expansion of the Reserve Officers Training Corps program already carried on in colleges and universities.
The student, an employee of the Railway Express company at the Santa Fe station, was found on the floor of the office by Frank Penner, agent, who went to the station a few minutes after midnight to see how the young man was getting along in his work as an extra clerk.
Fink was still breathing and was taken by an ambulance to the hospital where death occurred a few minutes later.
Investigation has revealed that Fink was seemingly in good spirits when last seen at the arrival of the 10:58 train from which express was received and placed under his direction. Friends disclosed that he had been depressed lately
Bullet Passed Through Head
The 38-calibre pistol which Body Skinner, sheriff, said young Fink used in taking his life was one that Fink carried in his line of duty as guard of express material. He evidently placed the gun at his right temple and the bullet passed through the head and came out behind and below the left ear.
Iowa City, Iowa—(INS)—The Association of Governing Boards of State Universities and Allied Institutions went on record as opposed to present army and navy proposals for post-war compulsory military training for youth.
Fink had been employed by the express company as night man since Nov. 1. He was born March 20, 1925 in Jefferson City, Mo. He attended Wichita East high school, Washington university, at St. Louis, and he entered the University of Kansas in September, 1943. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Fink, 2115 North Palm, Little Rock, Ark. He was an active member of Sigma Chi fraternity.
Training Opposed By College Board
Closing their meeting at the University of Iowa Sunday, the association adopted a resolution condemning the proposals because the delegates held that such training would not "preserve the peace of the world or contribute the maximum to national defense."
ASC To Investigate Sour Owl Publication
A public apology will be made by the All-Student. Council for the trouble caused by the "Sour Owl" published recently under the sponsorship of the council, it was decided at a special meeting at noon. After discussion of the matter by the council, a committee was appointed to work on the notice and report to the council at a meeting at 9 o'clock Thursday night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Dean Henry Werner, representing the administration, made a report to the council at noon. The Dean stated that he had "sewer worse issues of the magazine, but that in the past the trouble was diffused; this time it

It's a far cry from the mustache-cup days and the shoe button era, but the rivalry between the Universities of Kansas and Missouri is as rampant today as it was in 1891, when civil border warfare was legalized and put on a football field! Kansas won the first clash 22-8, in fact, they took 13 out of the first 18 games played.
K.U. Leads In Bouts With M.U.
After that things evened up some, but at the present, K.U. still has an edge over the border state for the number of games won. Recent years whitted the score down, but the tie stage hasn't been reached yet.
Rival teams meet in Kansas City for the first time in 34 years tomorrow. Back in the "23-skiidoo" time when the bird cage hats and the shirtwaist-garbed coeds were the vogue, police stations were jammed with students and rooters whose enthusiasm got out of hand. Free-for-alls, black eyes, and cracked shins were expected aftermaths of the football fracas.
Whether after-game eruptions on the part of the spectators has quieted down or whether it is the lull before the storm of the returning thousands in the armed forces, will be seen after the war.
The University of Missouri will have no band at the game and Missouri cheersers will rely on the K.C. (nottingham, co. utica)
College Faculty Will Meet Dec-4 To Discuss Vital Course Changes
(continued to page two)
The language departments came in for praise for their action in adding laboratory training to their basic courses, and the College in general was commended for its distribution of requirements.
The committee concluded, however, that there has been too great a swing away fr n the elective system, and that, although the program should not be too rigid, the unpreparedness of many students for college work and certain weaknesses of the curricula make it advisable to establish certain courses designed to correct such conditions.
A special meeting of the College faculty has been called for Monday, Dec. 4, to consider six curriculum changes which were proposed to the faculty in its regular meeting yesterday.
The committee praised the work of the College over the past years and lauded its thoroughness. It commended the willingness of the University to modify the curricula to meet student needs, and pointed out the many new major subjects and the opening of courses by one school for the benefit of students from other schools as evidence.
The report of the committee on curriculum and program presented to the College yesterday proposed new courses in English composition and English literature, speech, mathematics, biology, and western civilization, and a plan by which students may, in their sophomore year, apply for a special major and direct their studies under proper guidance to training for specific work.
Vanderbilt Representative Tells of Nursing Opportunities
(Editor's note: During the next week, the six curriculum changes will be discussed more fully in daily articles in the Kansan.)
"I am glad to find so many K.U. girls interested in nursing," Miss Sara Jean Colville told a Kansan reporter today.
Miss Colville, former head nurse at Vanderbilt University hospital, spent yesterday and today talking with University women interested in the nursing profession. About 30 girls have had personal interviews with her.
The nursing representative said that the three programs which are being stressed for graduate nurses are the rehabilitation program, public health, and a psychiatric nursing program.
Miss Colville believes that more girls would be interested in nursing if they knew of the many fields into which they may go after they become graduate nurses. She stated that she finds college girls practical and realistic, and that freshman girls are her most enthusiastic listeners.

Long's Arm in Sling

is still carrying his arm in a sling,
and may not be ready to go tomorrow.
Otherwise the squad is in a battered,
but determined, condition.
Shenk stated that the K.U. eleven would take the field expecting to start against Bill Dellastatious, all-star Missouri back who has been injured for some time, even though Simpson did not list him among the 37 Tigers to make the trip.
