She took over the position last year, after traveling for a year with the World Student Service Fund. She previously was a student secretary for the YWCA at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Some were glum. Others let off feeling with a bad word or so. Still others were smiling broadly this morning.

A coffee hour, sponsored by the YWCA at 4:30 p.m. today at Henley house, will feature Miss Lois Crozier, regional secretary of the Student Christian Movement in the Rocky Mountain Region. The meeting, under the direction of Betty Bixby, is open to all students interested, according to Rachel VanderWerf, WYCA secretary, Miss Crozier will speak on the subject, "Choosing Vocations in Accordance with Christian Beliefs."
Should Dewey obtain but 101 electoral votes, he will have made a better showing than Willkie in the last election for the Republican standard-bearer of 1940 obtained but 82 to Roosevelt's 449.
Here are the scattered returns to our poll:
Airing scattered public opinion, the Kansas presents viewpoints gathered from various sections of the campus. It may or may not be representative, certainly "all presidents have not yet reported."
Whatever their sentiments, most students shrugged their shoulders, and accepted the fact that we will be looking at the world through "Roose-velt colored glasses for another four years."
Hilden Gibson, political science professor: "I am very happy that we are getting rid of Ham Fish and Gerald Nye. I only wish Mrs. Luce could have been added to that disguised list."
Deane Postlethwaite, sophomore:
"I think it was the lesser of two evils."

Julia Ann Casad, member of the YWCA cabinet: "I don't think there was much choice between them."
Fourth Term Set In Landslide Vote
Doubtful States Give President Certain Victory
(International News Service)
[National Infrastructure Service]
President Roosevelt was assured almost certain triumph in three doubtful states today as late returns indicated that he held comfortable margins over Governor Dewey in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Missouri.
Roosevelt won easily in Illinois but Republican Governor Dwight H. Green was erected as 7,404 of the state's 8,748 precincts reported 1,762,290 votes for the Democratic candidate to 1,570,665 for Governor Dewey.
In Pennsylvania an early lead favoring the Republican candidate declined as the hours passed and by midmorning President Roosevelt had assumed a commanding 101,000 vote lead with 8,090 of the state's 8,197 precincts reporting. Mr. Roosevelt had been credited with 1,771,892 votes to 1,670,736 for Dewey. Roosevelt Takes Missouri
Missouri, with hardly less than 300 precincts unreported, gave President Roosevelt 20, 22 votes to 682,-708 for Dewey. Dewey took an imposing lead in early tabulations but a Democratic sweep of most state offices began shortly before daybreak. The lead in a close race Gov. Forest C. Donnell and former Attorney General Roy McKitrick swung back and forth in pendulum fashion, but to all appearances tabulation of the soldier ballot will be necessary to decide the winner.
Another Roosevelt foe, isolationist Senator Gerald P. Nye, South Dakota, also was defeated by Democratic Governor John M. Moses as he sought his fourth term.
Meanwhile bitter anti-administration leader Hamilton Fish, stormy veteran of 12 terms in congress was decisively beaten by Augustus W. Bennett, Independent Republican.

University students will send off the football team Fridav night when it leaves for Manhati o battle with the Aggles, with a rally at the Union Pacific station at 7 p.m., Jim Conard, head cheerleader, announced today.

(International News Service)
A Democratic victory approaching landslide proportions appeared certain today as President Roosevelt led his party to a decisive wartime triumph in a record-breaking 50-million vote.
The Democrats retained decisive control of the United States senate and appeared to have cut substantially into Republican strength in the house of representatives.
In gubernatorial races it appeared almost certain on the basis of incomplete returns that Democratic standard bearers had
Nutrition Authorities Featured in Movie To Be Shown Thursday
Students and faculty members are invited to attend a technical motion picture entitled, "The Recognition and Treatment of Vitamin Deficiency." to be given at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas room of the Union building, Prof. C. F. Nelson of the biochemistry department has announced.
The film, sponsored by the department of biochemistry, is a clinical symposium featuring four eminent authorities on nutrition. It was presented at the 1944 meeting of the American Medical Association in Chicago, having been prepared with the cooperation of the food and nutrition board of the War Food Administration and the United States Public Health service.
Three will be no charge for admittance, Professor Nelson said.
Rythe to Show Film On Historical Trial
"The Story That Couldn't Be Printed," a dramatic motion picture which depicts the sedition trial of John Peter Zenger, will be shown in room 102 of the Journalism building at 4 p.m. Friday. T. C. Rythe, instructor in charge of the History of Journalism course, invites all interested persons. The showing will take only 15 minutes, Mr. Ryther said.
A major Hollywood studio produced the picture. The climax of the 1735 courtroom scene is the daring and stirring address to the jury by Andrew Hamilton, a Philadelphia lawyer. His arguments against the English sedition laws, and the jury's acquittal of the German journalist who published the N.Y. Weekly Journal, were important in the development of the American concept of freedom of the press.
Those who have seen the film praise it as being an exciting, stirring, and well-staged presentation, a demonstration of how the movies can make history live,
whittled sharply into Republican dominated states.
As the unofficial count of ballots secured completion it also appeared certain that the Sunflower state had been established as the chief Re-publican stronghold in the nation.
GOP Sweeps Kanass
A tabulation of returns in Kansas showed that G.O.P. candidates captured every contest with the possible exception of a few widely-scattered real offices.
After a count of more than 40 million ballots early afternoon reports indicated that President Roosevelt had amassed a total of 21,645,552 votes to 18,903,849 for Dewey. Governor Dewey was leading in only 12 states, for a total of 191 electoral votes compared with 36 states for President Roosevelt announcing 430 electoral votes
A student section at the Missouri-Kansas game in Kansas City on Thanksgiving day has been reserved. Tickets are on sale in the athletic office, Earl Falkenstein, athletic association secretary, announced this morning.
In the senate Democrats apparently had clinched 22 senatorial contests; the Republicans eight with five still undecided. Early returns indicated that Republican gains were rapidly being whitted so that contests were thrown into the doubtful column.
Democrat House Control Likely
The prospects of certain Democ-
tric house control were empa-
sized when with only 32 districts in doubt 22 Democratic cucumbers

The section is in the north part of Ruppert stadium, where most students are expected to sit. These planning to attend the game are asked to get their tickets as soon as possible to be assured of a seat, as the main part of the grandstand is already practically sold out.
Mr. Falkenstein also announced that a block of tickets to the Kansas-Kansas State game next Saturday in Manhattan are available at the athletic office. Students planning to attend should make arrangements as soon as possible.
