Council Ready To Disclose Election Plans
"Final plans for the coming election of representatives to the new All-Student Council will be ready for publication tomorrow," said Vernon McKale, MSC president this noon. MSC and WSGA are meeting today to complete those plans, McKale said.
The election bill, which contains rules for apportionment of representatives, balloting, political parties, electioneering, and so on, was passed at the joint meeting of the two Councils Tuesday night with the provision that a section, ruling the 10 organization representatives from having a vote on political matters, be presented to the student body at the coming election in the form of an amendment to the new All-Student Constitution.
This amendment, which will be printed at the bottom of all election ballots for students to vote on, reads:
"Group members on the All-Student Council shall vote on all issues except those on which an objection of 25 per cent of the elected representatives is voiced. They shall, however, possess all other rights and

Enemy Fleet Is Near New Guinea
The full menace of Japan's offensive concentrations north of Australia was driven home by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters today with the disclosure that a gigantic enemy invasion fleet riles ready for action only three days sailing time from Allied defense positions on the island of New Guinea.
While Allied onslaughts in the European and North African theaters continued in the form of a devastating new RAF raid on the Ger-

Negro Blood Designated --Red Cross
Giving an explanation of the above policy to the Kansan, Judge Frank R. Gray, chairman of the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross, repeated information received by him from the St. Louis headquarters in charge of this district. He said that this is not a policy of the Red Cross but that the organization acts only as intermediary between blood donors and the army and navy.
Army, navy, and Red Cross policy requires that blood from Negro donors be so designated, according to a telegram from B. Ganby Robinson, Washington, D.C., medical doctor of the American Red Cross, received by the University Daily Kansan yesterday.
The question was raised on the campus last week when the mobile blood unit was taking donations in Lawrence. In order to clarify the question for its readers, the Kansan wired to National Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C. The following answer was received: "It is policy of the army navy and Red Cross that blood from Negro donors he so designated."
These orders do not come only from the army and navy medical staffs, Judge Gray explained, but are backed by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy who are carrying out requests of the men in service. It seems that white men in the army and navy prefer white blood, he said.
Silver Collection Adds Two English Tablespoon*
After the blood has been collected, Judge Gray said, it is turned over to the army and navy. The Red Cross does the collecting according to the instructions given by the government.
Two English tablespoons have recently been added to the silver collection in Spooner Thayer museum. The spoons are a gift of Mrs. Sarah D. T. Robinson.
The collection which was begun by Mrs. J. S. Barrow, of Napa, Calif., consists of American, English, Italian, and French silver.

The Coed Volunteer Corps sold $18.45 worth of defense stamps yesterday in cooperation with the nation-wide bond and stamp drive. This total was received by CVC representatives at the desk in center Fraser hall and by Minute Maids, campus stamp sellers, who are identified by CVC arm bands.
The five Minute Maids are Mary B. Todd, fine arts junior; Margaret Boxmeyer, College freshman; Jane Priest, College freshman; Comora MacGregor, first year law student; and Jean Fergus, College freshman. Comora MacGregor and Mary Todd were the highest individual sellers with sales of $5 and $3 respectively.
The drive which started Monday in the lobby of Hoch auditorium at the time of the band concert will come to a close tomorrow.
CVC members from sororities and organized houses act as representatives for the desk sale in Fraser hall. Yesterday girls from Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Miller hall helped. Today the representatives were from Delta Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Westminster hall, and Watkins hall. Tomorrow sellers will be supplied from Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Alpha Delta Pi.

Marine Corps Also Must Take Test
Forty new naval aviation cadets arrived today at the University of Kansas for their preliminary flight and ground school taining, Kenneth Razak, coordinator of the C. A. A. War Training program at the University, announced. The cadets, who have been taking their preparatory training at William Jewell College, Liberty, Mo., arrived at 11:05 on the Union Pacific and marched up Massachusetts Avenue on their way to the Tau Kappa Epsilon house where they will be quartered.
The men, who will remain here eight weeks, will be given 240 hours of ground school training, and 30 to 40 hours of flight training. Razak is director of this program which is now an integral part of naval flight training procedure.
The written test of the qualifying examination for all men enlisted in Class V-1 (accredited college program), U.S. Naval Reserve who will have completed four or more semesters (or six or more quarters) of their college course on July 1, 1943, is to be given on Tuesday, April 20, in 305 Bailey laboratories, Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, coordinator of military information
A new class of cadets will be received every eight weeks, Razak explained. Forty are already in training here, so that the University will have constantly a group of eighty navy cadets in flight training.
The training is given under the direction of the school of engineering and architecture in which the cadets are given their ground school training.
From here, the men go to naval pre-flight training centers.

High School To Give Eight Week Session
The plan is to offer three courses, each carrying full unit weight equivalent to a year's work. The three courses will be plane geometry, junior English, taught by Miss Mary Fee; and world history, taught by Miss Ruth Litchen.
The University high school will have a summer session which will coincide with the eight-week session of the University, June 14 to Aug. 7, according to an announcement by Madison Coombs, principal.
The classes will be held in the morning, 8:30 to 12:30, broken in the middle of the morning by a short
(continued to page five)
for students at the University, announced today.
The examinations will require two sessions, one beginning at 9 a.m. and the other at 2 p.m. Dr. A. H. Turney, of the School of Education, will be in charge of the examination. Premedical and pre-dental students may be excused from the tests, if their credentials and departmental standing is in order. However, such students are being urged by the Navy Department to take the tests in order that they may qualify for other duty if not selected for medical or dental training.
Marine Corps To Take Exam
Doctor Woodruff announced also that men enlisted in Class III(d) U. S. Marine Corps, who are in their freshman and sophomore college years as of the date the examination is given, must take the tests at the same time as the V-1 enlistees. This test is for the purpose of qualifying them for participation in the college training program to be inaugurated about July 1.
The test for the marines will be the same as that given to class V-1 men except that certain parts of the prescribed test will not be required to be taken by the marine reservists. However, any marine reservists desiring as a matter of interest to take those parts of the test not required may do so with the understanding that the scores made on those parts will not in any way militate against them, but might be of value as the basis for estimate of aptitude for certain courses of study.
Doctor Woodruff has asked all V-1 students and marine reservists who plan to take the tests to see him at once at the Registrar's office.
