Sars Will Be Forbidden on Hill If Traffic Violations Continue. Chancellor's Office Announces
A number of violations of the speed limit of 15 miles an hour within the military zone which is the University of Kansas have been reported lately, and the military commandants, the University's administration, and the Lawrence police department, have issued warnings and further requests for the cooperation of the motorists. A continuance of violations will re-
suit in a complete closure of the campus to traffic, the Chancellor's office said today.
Marching columns have the right of way at all times, and military traffic is particularly heavy with approximately 2,300 service men in attendance at the University. With the new semester opening in November, and more civilian students coming, the traffic between classes is expected to be even heavier.
"The importance of this observance cannot be overemphasized," said Mr. Bliesner. "We are going to enforce the law. That is absolutely essential in insuring safety of life and limb of the military units on the 'Hill' and we will cooperate to the limit in bringing such a program about."
C. A. Bliesner, police chief, today reiterated the intent of the Lawrence police department to assist the University in enforcing the 15 mile speed limit.
Students, Staff Support Drives
A total of $762.25 has been contributed by civilian students in the WSSF drive in the last report given by Eloise Penner, chairman of the student drive. A faculty drive made under the supervision of Dr. F. C. Allen, director of the University campaign in the National War Fund drive has netted $904.05, according to returns he received this morning.
"I am deeply grateful and agreeably surprised at the generous attitude of the faculty and employees," commended Dr. Allen. "Most of the money we have received has been sent to my office without the contributors being solicited. Ninety percent of the contributions have been given in cash rather than pledges."
The contributions of the civilian students to date have been as follows:
Central committee, $112.10; Watkins, $57.25; Miller, $46.50; Sigma Kappa, $45.50; Gamma Phi, $48; Delta Gamma, $57.50; Kappa Kappa Gamma, $63; Kappa Kappa Teta, $99.50; Alpha Delta Pi, $27; Alpha Omicron Pi, $41; Pi Beta Phi, $26.50; Alpha Chi Omega, $40.50; Delta Upsilon, $6.50; Beta Theta Pi, $25; Tau Kappa Epsilon, $20; Phi Delta Theta, $29.50; and Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, $17.
Solicitors will visit the PT's Thursday night rather than Tuesday, as was previously planned. There will be a table in the Union for the machinists' mates Wednesday and Thursday for their contributions. Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer; A. C. A. Mikelman, assistant commanding officer of the V-12's; and Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, acting commandant, have assured the committee their support.

Cpl. Broten Asks Women To Join WAC
"Replace the 959 men from Kansas who have been killed in the war. That's the objective of the WAC recruiting campaign that is in progress now," explained Cpl. Mary Broten, from the Kansas City, Kansas, WAC office, is in Lawrence this week to talk to all women interested in enlisting. Her office is in the Jayhawker theater building.
On Sept. 27 a campaign was begun to recruit as many women as there have been casualties in the war, Corporal Broten said. The quota for the nation is 70,000, while for the Second Congressional district, in which Lawrence is located, the quota is 137. Gov Schoeppel is the head of the recruiting campaign in Kansas.
All women who volunteer from Kansas will go through their basic training in the same company, Corporal Broten promised. They will have a state flag, and each will wear a Kansas shoulder patch. Friday, Oct. 22, the first group of enlistees is leaving Topeka for Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga.
"The age requirement may be lowered to 18." Cpl. Broten said. "When the WAC became part of the regular army it was lowered from 21 to 20 years. There are many girls that would make capable WACs who are too young to join now. Of course, some girls of 18 are not old enough, but the recruiting officer could decide that."
Women who enlist will have from two to four weeks to wait before they are called.
Student Recital To Be Tomorrow
Four students from the School of Fine Arts will present the regular student recital at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater.
The recital will open with Emadee Gregory's piano solo, the first movement: Largo maestoso-Allegro risoluto from Sonata Tragica in G Minor" (MacDowell). Barbara Huls will play a violin solo, "Allegro Assal" from "Concerto in'A Minor" (Bach).
The October issue of the Graduate Magazine will be mailed to subscribers tomorrow, Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, announced today. Three thousand five hundred copies are being printed.
Two voice selections will be sung by Betty Dell Mills, "Hills" (La Forge), and "Four Ducks on a Pond" (Needham). Yolande Meek will close the program with a piano solo, the allegro moderato movement from "Concerto in A Minor" (Grieg). The orchestral parts for this number will be played on the second piano by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Graduate Magazine Mailed Tomorrow
This 28 page magazine has eight pages devoted exclusively to military news of alumni of the University of Kansas. More than 500 persons are mentioned in this publication, Ellsworth said.

Military Science Building Done Before Deadline
The new military science building has been practically completed and the finished building will be turned over to University authorities next week, Basil Green, contractor, announced today. Deadline 'or completion was November 1.
While American and British veterans gained from two to five miles in Italy after dislodging the Nazi from the entire
Work on the building, which was started in 1941, was suspended in February, 1943. When the state appropriation became available, the contract for completion was given to Green, who started work to complete the building in July, 1943.
The project, which was launched in the spring of 1941, has been a combined University, state, and federal affair. In order to secure the assistance of the federal government in financing the building, it was required that the University put up $25,000 in cash, which was secured through individual contributions. When this requirement was met, the Government appropriated $142,709 of WPA funds. The Kansas legislature at its last session appropriated $69,000 to complete the structure.
Built of native Kansas limestone, the structure is one of the most modern and utilitarian in the Middle-West. No details are available as to specific uses of the building after it is turned over to the University authorities, but it will be used for military purposes.
Patsy Piller, College junior, has been appointed chairman of the Statewide Student Activities commission for the coming year, Peggy Davis, president of the All-Student Council announced today.

Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, is the faculty adviser for the commission. According to Mr. Ellsworth, the purpose of the Statewide Student Activities Commission is to spread knowledge of the University and good will for the University over the state.
Miss Piller succeeds John Kreamer, chairman of the commission last year. He is now a second lieutenant in the army.

An army estimated to number 250,000 men was being pulled out of the Crimean peninsula. The Nazis were reported taking everything of value along with them, including livestock, as they pounded westward with the Russians in hot pursuit.
Coincident with their land offensive. Allied air forces carried out a blasting attack against a vital Nazi artery along the Adriatic between Ancona and the harbor of Pescara; Liberator bombers blasted four bridges on the railway line between the towns, completely paralyzing enemy communications. Other Allied bombers attacked objectives in the Dodecanese and on the island of Crete, while American heavy bombers, escorted by fighters, roared out from bases in Britain against western Germany.
At the same time as the reported evacuation from the Crimea, Soviet forces plunged ahead all along the Dnieper front, leaving only one railway line open for expected Nazi abandonment of Dniepropetrobsk, great industrial center in the Dnieper loop.
Tickets to each performance will be priced at 75 cents plus tax for all men in uniform, Dean Swarthout said. They will be general admission tickets for any seat in the unreserved student section on either the main floor or first balcony, he added.
New details were awaited from the Southwest Pacific on the latest defeat handed to Japan. In the second raid within a week on the Japanese base at Rabaul, 60 more enemy planes were destroyed and three Japanese ships disabled.
Tickets may be purchased at the Fine Arts office or at the box office on the night of the concert.
