Grace Moore To Open Series In Hoch Monday
Miss Moore will continue her concert program with four selections, "Come Buy" from Shakespeare's "Winter Tales" (Buzzi-Pecia; "None but the Lonely Heart" (Tschaikosky); "I Know My Love" (arr. by Hughes); "Ecestasy" (Rummel). Her closing number will be "Aria: La Mamma Morta" from "Andrea Bovrier" (Giordano).
Grace Moore, soprano, will open the University Concert series at 8:20 p.m., Monday, in Hoch auditorium. Miss Moore is an internationally known opera, radio, concert, and screen star. Activity tickets will admit students to the concert.
“Air de Venus” from the opera “Theses” (Lully); “Serenade de L'Amant Jaloux” (Gretry); “Air of Cleopatra” from the opera “Julius Caesar” (Handel); are the opening numbers on Miss Moore's program.
For the second part of the evening's concert Miss Moore will sing "Air de Lia" from "L'Enfant Prodigue" (Debusy); "Ninon" (Franck) "La Maison Grise" (Messager); and "Toi Seule" (Tehalkowsky).
Recently Miss Moore published a book, "We Are Only Human Once," in which she relates the important events of her concert life. She has been decorated numerous times by foreign governments, and has received a number of medals and awards.
After intermission Otto Herz, accompanist to Miss Moore, will play two piano solos, "Bercuse" (Chopin) and "Rondo Alla Turca" (Mozart).
Miss Moore and her husband, Valetin Perera, have a farm in Connecticut which they call "Far Away Meadows." She spends her summers at the farm preparing her concert work for the winter season.
The Union board at Minnesota University has originated a plan for talent classes for students. Included are piano and tap dancing classes and a baton twirling group.
All seats for the concert in the reserved sections have been sold. D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts and manager of the concert course, said this morning, but admissions are on sale in the unreserved sections of the auditorium. Persons who have ordered their season tickets should call for them at the Fine Arts office in order to avoid congestion at the box office Monday evening, Dean Swarthout said.

British Seize Nazi Gun Site On Dutch Island
(International News Service)
(International News Service)
Crack British commands on the Dutch island of Walchen today had seized half of Flushing, site of the biggest German guns in Holland. Several miles of the island's west coast also were in Allied hands.
Heaviest fighting apparently was under way in the port area of Flushing as the British troops attempted to free the Dutch port of Antwerp from the dominating Nazi guns.
To the southwest on the mainland, Canadian troops took 2500 prisoners in mopping up operations in the Scheldt pocket. Heavy engagements meanwhile were fought for possession of Maas river crossings as British and Polish troops slashed at rear guard forces guarding the Nazi flight across the river.

'Limey'Bill Will Write To KU Coed
With the exception of visitors, and permit holders, no person is permitted to park on the campus between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and between 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Permit holders may park during these hours only in their assigned zones. Parking is unrestricted on Lillac Lane between 13th and 14th streets; on the north side of Crescent drive, and on the west side of University drive. Where the curbs are painted orange parking is forbidden at all times.
Bill (we hope he'll excuse us for Americanizing his name) went on to say that he picked Kansas University because, when he was in high school before the war, he used to correspond with a girl attending a college in Kansas which he believes was in Topeka. Among other vital statistics, Bill enumerated, "I am twenty years of age, architect by profession, sailor at present by necessity. Height is 5 feet, 9 inches, built in proportion, brown hair, blue eyes, willing to exchange photographs. Sports are golf, swimming, ice-hockey, football, and most other outdoor sports. My hobbies are black and white sketching, amateur wireless, and dancing. I think I have a good sense of humor (self-praise is no recommendation, however), and I can take a joke. Last of all is that I will write regularly if some kind young lady will take pity on me."
By way of reply to the unappreciative United States sailor who wrote to Life magazine recently debunking the femmes fatale of Kansas, came a letter addressed to the "rector" of Kansas University from an English sailor who evidently is of the opinion that Kansas girls are strictly all right. The sailor, William Ford, a telegraphist in the British navy, wrote; "I hope you will not think ill of me after reading this letter. The reason for this letter is that I would like to correspond with one of your students, a lady preferably. The definition of the sex of the pen pal is because I find I can write fluently to a girl and I can assure you that it will be strictly platonie."
Bill gave his address as:
Parking permits are granted to students for the following reasons:
(a) Physical disability as evidenced by certificate from the Student Health Service; (b) for reasons of employment wherein a car is necessary; (c) distance of residence from the campus as determined at the beginning of each year by the parking committee.

New Parking Permits A Campus 'Must' Order
Parking stickers are a "must" for students and faculty members who bring their automobiles to the campus, according to Frank Brown, chairman of the traffic committee who announced today that permits not purchased since June, expired yesterday.
Application for the permits by students and those doing part time teaching are made at the office of the men's student adviser, room 228 Frank Strong hall. Faculty members and employees of the University will apply at the business office. A fee of 25 cents will be charged.
The speed limit on all the thoroughfares of the campus is 20 miles per hour. This 20 mile per hour speed limit is in force at all hours and must be rigidly observed. Violators of this rule will be given tags requiring them to report to the Lawrence police court. Penalties for illegal parking and other violations of the traffic rules consist of a series of fines. The fine automatically increases with each successive violation. Students are required to pay their before being permitted to enroll for the succeeding term.

Enrollment of civilian students is 10 per cent more than a year ago at the University of Kansas, after registration of additional students for the winter term. The number of women taking work now is the greatest in the history of the University, according to Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar.
Approximately 600 civilian students registered this week. These, added to the number enrolled in the summer and fall terms who remain in classes, bring the total of civilians to about 2200. In addition, there are 500 military trainees left at the University. About 50 Army and Navy medical students registered this week. The number of military trainees is only about one third of what it was in October, 1943.
Jayhawker Features Freshman Life
Nov. 20 has been set as the approximate publication date of the first issue of the 1945 Jayhawker, according to Mary Morrill, editor of the magazine.
The issue is dedicated primarily to freshmen, Miss Morrill said, although a six page section has been devoted to independent students; returning veterans, homecoming, the new Vocational Guidance bureau, and the School of Engineering are featured.
Included in the special freshman division of the magazine are a story on freshmen training by R. J. Atkinson, an expose of freshman women written by Don Diehl and illustrated with photographs posed and taken by Charles Fisher. Pictures of outstanding freshman personalities, a feature, "The Jayhawker Goes on a Walkout" and pledge pictures will also appear in this section.
An innovation in this issue will be a short history feature, giving off-the-record moments of the 19th century Jayhawk, said Miss Morrill. Cartoon illustrations accompanying the excerpts have been done by Mary Olive Marshall.
Candid shots with explanatory captions collected under the title, "If You Dated the Dean" take Shirley Henry through her memorable evening with Dean Lawson. The new navy band, directed by Don Cousins merits a page.
The condition of Robert Elbel, V-12 sophomore who suffered a fractured skull Friday afternoon when he fell from a moving train in Peabody, has been reported as unchanged by his parents, Major and Mrs. E.

Ballots will have the names of the candidates for president, vice-president, U.S. senator, and governor and the four parties represented on this year's Kansas ballots will be represented.
Together with an explanatory letter, ballots are being sent to all faculty members who are being asked to return the marked ballots to the polls before 5 o'clock tomorrow.
Since Forums board appointed campus party chairmen several weeks ago, politically-minded students have been actively spreading propaganda for their parties around the campus on bulletin boards and in organized houses. Last Tuesday the Democratic co-chairmen entertained Thurman Hill, and Robert Lemon, Democratic candidates for United States senator and governor, at a coffee in the Union Building.
Elbel Is Unconscious After Injury Friday
The Republicans and Democrats have each appointed members of their party to be at the polls throughout the day. Forums board has appointed an additional person for each poll.
Two types of fruit bat with a wing spread exceeding two feet have been received at Dyce museum from the South Pacific theater, Dr. Raymond Hall, director of the museum, has announced.
Surgeons at the Hutchinson naval hospital, where Elbel was taken from Feabody, operated Saturday to remove pressure on the brain caused by the fracture, relatives in Lawrence said today. Elbel has not regained consciousness they said.
Fruit Bats Arrive From South Pacific
The shipment, received last week, contained 13 specimens of the bats, multi-colored parakeets, s.e.v.e n birds, eleven lizards, and several nice embryos.
The collection was donated to the University by a friend in the armed services now serving in the South Pacific, Dr. Hall stated.
