(International News Service)

The way was cleared today for early American and British occupation of Naples when German defense lines outside the historic city crumpled under terrific Allied onslaughts and the Nazis gave up their bitterly defended strong points in the mountain passes.
A spokesman at the headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in North Africa said that prospects of early conquest of Naples were "very bright" and all battle front dispatches indicated the Germans soon would evacuate the city.
U. S. Army Reported Near Naples
Latest reliable advices placed maps of the United States fifth day only 18 miles from Naples, and unless all present indications are countervened by unexpected circumstances, it appeared likely that within the next 24 hours the Stars and Stripes would fly over the metropolis.
A London report said the Americans had surged into ancient Pompeii on the southeastern fringe of Naples.
Dispatches from General Eisenhower's headquarters made it clear that Nazi destruction of the city and its military installations now is complete.

Council System Was Organized During Summer
The All-Student Council, which originated last spring when the Men's Student Council united with the Women's Self Governing Association, spent an active summer getting organized on its new system, with Clarence Engle acting as president in the absence of Peggy Davis.
The main business of the Council last summer consisted of revising the old WSGA and MSC bills and drawing up new bills of its own. The nine bills passed by the Council during the summer were on legislative procedure, elections to the Council, parking on the campus, creating a permanent archive in Watson library for all University publications and documents, smoking on the campus, judiciary procedure, provision for Council keys, committees to the Council, and the election of class officers and freshman representatives to the Council.
The ASC also provided for the publication of a summer student directory, investigated and found justifiable the $2.50 rise in the summer student health fee, and considered plans for selling activity tickets to the military groups this fall.
Women serving on the ASC during the summer were: Jill Peck, Janet Marvin, Doris Larson, Frances Perkins, Claudine Scott, Mary Martha Hudelson, Ruth Krehbiel, Grace Curry, Kathryn Bonewits, Betty Woodring Hall, Maxine Jones, Phyllis Wickert, Doris Bixby, Caroline Baker, Florence Harris, Louise Alderman, and Paula Reeve.
Men on the Council were; Thornton McClanahan, Reed Whetstone, Harlan Cope, Clarence Engle, Joe Beeler, Ben Matassarin, Alex Roth, Dick Miller, Harlan McDowell, Frank Gage, Mou Hui King, John Sells, and R. J. Atkinson.
Sixty ROTC juniors and seniors received their calls to OCS or army camps; Richard B. Stevens was elected president of the Alumni Association, he is a Lawrence lawyer and a member of the class of 1925; a "war-time" journalism minor of two semesters was announced by the department of journalism; twelve alumni were cited for distinguished service to their country.
Summer Activities Reviewed; Semester Crowded With Events
For the information of former students who weren't enrolled during the summer, there follows a resume of what happened on the campus in the University's first full summer semester:
Prof. H. P. Cady, former chairman of the department of chemistry and discoverer of helium in a Kansas gas field, died May 26 at his home.
Clarence Engle was elected to head the All-Student Council for
the summer, since Peggy Davis was not enrolled during the session; J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, resigned June 2, the resignation effective August 1, the Registrar's office announced that nearly 1,100 students were enrolled for the summer semester and the five weeks session.
One hundred sixty-seven women started training as aeronautical technicians June 8; the ISA planned a social function for every week to keep Hill society alive; the sailors, marines, army medics, Rottsies, naval air cadets and civilian students, plus many of the faculty, worked during two days and nights to keep the Kaw from breaking its dikes and flooding north Lawrence.

WEC Revises House Rules
The summer activities of the All-Student Council consisted mainly of revising the old WSAG rules and changing the closing hours for University women.
The WEC adopted the following closing hours, effective from July 14 until the beginning of the five week session: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; 10:30 p.m.; Wednesday and Sunday, 11 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 1:00 a.m.
The 1 o'clock closing hour on Friday and Saturday nights did not prove satisfactory for continuance in the fall semester under present conditions on the campus, and the WEC changed the closing hours to 12 o'clock on Friday night and 12:45 on Saturday night. Closing hours on the other nights remained the same.
Another action of the WEC was to send out letters to all high school girl graduates in the state, encouraging them to come to the University this fall.
Members of the Women's Executive Committee last summer were Doris Larson, president; Kathryn Bonewits, vice-president; Doris Bixby, secretary; Caludine Scott, treasurer; Phyllis Wickert, Mary Martha Hudelson, Frances Perkins, Betty Woodring Hall, Jill Peek, Paula Reeve, Janet Marvin, Ruth Krehbiel, Grace Curry, Caroline Baker, Maxine Jones, Louise Alderman, and Florence Harris.
Saturday Classes Stay, Lawson Says
Suggestions for doubling class work on Friday or Monday to eliminate Saturday classes were stopped by Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences when he said today this would be impossible.
In this accelerated program the students have enough work to absorb in one day without adding another day's assignments, the Dean said. Lack of space would also handicap such a move, and some thought is being given to arranging for more classes on Saturday rather than abandoning the present ones.
Orchestra To Start Rehearsal Thursday
The University of Kansas orchestratra will hold its first rehearsal of the year in Hoch auditorium. Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, according to Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of the University band and orchestra.
"We expect to have a 70 piece orchestra this year, and the prospects are looking good," Professor Wiley stated. "Both the orchestra and the band will be presented in a formal concert this fall and will be heard regularly over KFKU throughout the year."
Tryouts for the orchestra are being held Wednesday and Thursday nights and possibly another night this week, according to Professor Wiley.

'A' Gas Coupons To Be Reduced
Dr. Ralph Canuteson, chairman of the committee on arrangements, urges all students that qualify to donate a pint at this third drive, as many are eligible for their silver button, signifying three pints of donations. A bronze button is presented on the first giving. "When the blood is needed, it is needed in a hurry," said Dr. Canuteson, "and especially following the campaigns in Sicily and Italy."
The information, according to Representative Brown (R) Ohio, chairman of the informal group, was based on a "rather well established report."
The maximum time required at the Red Cross bank is one hour for the entire process.
Representative Johnson (R) Indiana, said he had received the same information from an independent oil dealer in the district. The dealer he said, added that the original reduction order had been held up by Price Administration Prentice Brown for the time being.
