Lost Wallet Is Tragedy To Student
The opening of college is a thrilling time for any college freshman.
To Ruth Resiner, $ 823^{1/2} $ Missouri street, it was a time when she could begin her study of voice in the School of Fine Arts, and she was happy as she went through the line of registration.
Her father, H. E. Resiner, an employee of the Lawrence post office, had given her the money for her tuition and other expenses of the semester—$190 in cash. He gave her his worn brown bill fold in which to carry the money, and she noticed his Masonic lodge card in the identification pocket. There was nothing to bar the realization for which she had dreamed ever since she was a

Varsity Features Jack Collins Tomorrow Night
Featuring Jack Collins and his 10-piece band, the first Varsity dance of the winter semester will complete tomorrow's festivities which begin with the K.U. -Olathe Naval Air Base football game in the afternoon.
Mr. Collins and his "Gentlemen of Rhythm" have become well-known in this section of the country, having been signed up for engagements during the past few years at the Hotel Muehlebach, the Plamor, Hotel Continental, and the Kansas City Arena, all in Kansas City, and the Frog-Hop and the Robudux Hotel in St. Joseph.
The dance, which will be informal, will be held from 9 to 12 in Hoch auditorium and is open to all University students. Tickets may be obtained at the door that night, Elinor Kline, acting varsity dance manager, has announced.
He has also hed experience playing for state and national conventions, private parties, and banquet dance work. During the past few months, the band has toured the country with several U.S.O. camp shows and has the distinction of playing at every air base in the state of Kansas.
Since only one other party has been scheduled for tomorrow night, the Varsity dance committee is expecting an unusually large crowd, according to Miss Kline.
An explanation of how election returns are gathered, tabulated analyzed, and reported to the nation will be presented at an open meeting at 4:30 p.m., Monday, by Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism. The talk will be given in room 107 Journalism building. The department is scheduling the talk as a general service to the University and invites anybody interested to attend.

The three polls in Fraser, Marvin, and Frank Strong halls opened at 8 o'clock this morning and will be open until 5 this afternoon. All students may cast their ballot by presenting their fall semester activity book or the green card on which their fees are listed to one of the three poll judges at the poll booths,
In addition to the student vote, 60 faculty members have returned their ballots to the YMCA office in Frank Strong hall. Ballots were sent to each faculty member by the Student Forums Board and are to be returned by mail to the YMCA office by 5 p.m. today.

A survey of the student national election polls conducted at noon today revealed that 366 students had cast their votes for their respective candidates in the straw vote being held at the University today.
The results of this straw vote will be announced tomorrow morning but it is very probable that they will not be indicative of the trend of the nation's polls next Tuesday due to the fact that Kansas is largely a Republican state.
David Battenfeld, poll worker, said that he was encouraged by the voting at noon today and that he was hoping that everyone including the Navy will turn out to vote before the polls close.
Bandleader for Varsity
Jack Collins whose 10-piece band will play in Hoch auditorium tomorrow night for the first varsity dance of the winter semester.
First Convocation To Be Monday
Particularly timely will be Monday's convocation speaker, W.G.W Woodhead, dean of journalists in China, who will discuss "How War Came to the Far East." Speaking in Hoch auditorium at 10 a.m., he will be the first convocation speaker of the new semester.
Recently released from long imprisonment by the Japanese, Woodhead is considered a topmost authority on problems and questions in regard to the Far East and especially China, said Raymond Nichols, executive secretary.
Woodhead has spent 40 years in China and has written three authoritative books about the country's affairs. He was editor of the Peking-Tienstin Times. The British, Belgian, and French governments have decorated him for his public work. Because of his association with emperors, presidents of China, political, social, and industrial leaders of that country, Woodhead has the true picture of the part the Far East has played and will play in this war.
The schedule of Monday classes will be:
8:30 classes meet ... 8:30- 9:05
9:00 ... 9:05- 9:50
Convocation ... 10:00-10:50
10:30 classes meet ... 10:50-11:35
11:30 ... 11:35-12:55
The University band under the direction of Russell Wiley will play at the convocation.
Bob Elbel Gains Semi-consciousness
Robert Elbel, V-12 trainee, who was injured last Friday in Peabody in an attempt to jump from a moving train, regained semi-consciousness for a few minutes last night, according to Charles Moffett, KU half-back, who was accompanying him at the time of the accident.
Hutchinson naval hospital authorities, where Elbel was taken following the accident, have reported that in the event he does regain complete consciousness, it is probable that he will not recognize anyone for several days.
Jayhawks to Try For 3rd Victory With New Squad
Gunning for their third victory of the 1944 gridiron season, the revamped and untested Kansas Jayhawkers will take the field at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Memorial stadium against the Olathe Naval Air Base Clippers.
The Kansas lineup tomorrow will be almost entirely different from anything seen so far this season. Tackles have been moved to ends, ends to tackles, backs to tackles, quarterbacks to fullbacks, and fullbacks to blocking backs. Coach Henry Shenk has been experimenting all week in hopes of hitting on a winning combination for tomorrow's battle with the Clippers, and he has not hesitated to shift the squad where he has felt it would do the most good.
Seahawks Defeated Clippers
The Clippers from Olathe have not been too impressive so far this season, having been beaten decisively by the Iowa Seahawks while managing to eke out victories over comparatively weak eleveens. Last Saturday the navy men were held to a 6-6 tie by the 611th field artillery from Ft. Riley. A consistent star for the Olathe team has been Arnie Langner, 180 pound star fullback. Other above average Clipper Lacks include Joe Fuste and Walter Herkal.
Band Will Play at Game
The K.U. band will be at the game tomorrow, it was learned today through Professor Wiley's office. Students will be admitted on either their winter session activity books, their receipts for the winter semester, or their series of cards which were given them at the end of the enrollment line Wednesday. Ticket sales for the game are below average, but good weather should bring a crowd for the affair. It will be the next to last home game for the Jayhawks this year.
Probable starting lineup for Kansas.

If enjoyment may be judged by noise and merriment, the Republicans, Democrats, and Socialists had a rousing good time at their political rally in Fraser last night: Painted banners, printed propaganda signs, and a loud speaker system, the latter operated for the benefit of the Democrats, added to the rally's hilarity.
The Democratic and Republican speakers, Jack Button and Jack Ramsey, were heckled with boos and cracks and encouraged by cheers, while the Socialist speakers, Sheila Stryker and Sarah Marks, had a quiet but attentive audience.
Bob Gibbon, Forums Board chairman, opened the rally with a short talk and closed it by urging all students to go to the polls and vote.
