Few Withdraw This Semester
Only ten more students have dropped out of school this semester than withdrew in the first semester last year, according to the figures of Dr. Laurence Woodruff, University registrar.
The enrollment this year is lighter, however, and the semester is not yet over. It is expected that more students will withdraw at the end of the semester.
Dr. Woodruff pointed out that many of the students who had dropped out would have dropped out anyway in the ordinary course of events. There is always a decrease of several hundred in the enrollment in the second semester, he said.
These figures may be compared with those of other colleges who have experienced sharp drops in the number of students enrolled, and large increases in the number of students who have dropped out in the middle of the semester, it was pointed out.
Pan-American League To Meet Thursday
The Student Pan-American League will hold its third session at 8 o'clock, Thursday night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Antonio Lulli, president of the League, will continue with his discussion of the general background of South America in order to dispell the false impressions which the average North American student has of South America.
Following the talk, a group discussion will be held.
Quill Club Meets Thursday For a Business Session
There will be a short business meeting of the Quill club in the Men's lounge of the Memorial Union building 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Pledging and Initiation will be discussed. Those who were not formally initiated last year are asked to be present. New pledges will be notified if their manuscripts are accepted. Manuscripts will be judged before the proposed initiation date which is De. 17.
Aspirants and pledges may attend the meeting Thursday.
Ice Cream ★★★ Flavors Slated For Change
New and fruity flavors of ice cream and perhaps less of them to replace some of the old standbys will probably appear on the Hill during December and January because of the War Production board's recent order to commercial manufacturers of ice cream to curtail their output for those months to 60 per cent of the October production in order to conserve butterfat for butter.
Ice cream fiendis will not have to suffer from inability to get their favorite food, however, or a lowering of quality standards because the WPB regards the product as a necessary food and the order provides that the formulas for its manufacture may not be changed although the coloring and flavoring may be.
The order was issued as a temporary measure to help relieve, during December and January, the most critical butter shortage in ten years. A "more comprehensive order" will probably be issued later, Clyde E. Beardslee, chief of the WPB's dairy product section, said.
Lovers of ice cream need not worry about a ban on ice cream in the future however because government officials said that they had no plans to suspend its manufacture. The WPB also pointed out that the actual reduction in output would be only about 20 per cent because the manufacture of ice cream during December and January is below that of October.

Snow Collection Gets 115 New Specimens
One hundred fifty different kinds of Anthomyidae have been found contained in a group of more than a thousand specimens sent away for determination last spring by the entomology department, according to Dr. Raymond H. Beamer, professor of entomology, who received the results of the determination last week.
The Anthomyidae is a family of flies to which belong such commonly known insects as the onion maggot, the cabbage maggot, and the spinach leaf miner. One hundred and fifteen of the kinds found are new to the Snow entomological collection, and therefore constitute a valuable addition to the collection, Professor Beamer said. The collection heretofore contained only 93 different kinds of the Anthomyidae.

By International News Service
Topeka — "Eatless days" instead of "meatless days" will be inaugurated soon by many Kansas restaurants, according to an announcement by Frank Faris, president of the Topeka Restaurant Association.
Mr. Faris said that many Kansas restaurants now are closing one day a week and operating shorter hours due to difficulties in obtaining help and supplies.
He looks for an increase in the number of restaurant "eatless days."
Frye and Thompson to Conference Dr. John Frye and Dr. M. L. Thompson, of the state geological survey, left yesterday evening for Oklahoma City, where they will attend the annual Oklahoma mineral industries conference.

15 French Ships Still At Toulon
By International News Service
Washington, Dec. 8—Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox reported today that 15 French warships at Toulon remained intact and presumably in Axis hands, while 50 other war vessels of the once proud French fleet have been scuttled.
Secretary Knox, giving the first complete and official picture of what happened to the main French fleet said that his statements were based on aerial reconnaissance made by United Nations fliers, apparently from new North African bases.
The navy secretary also told his press conference, at which the disclosures were made, that four French submarines had escaped to neutral or Allied ports.
The revelation by Secretary Knox indicated that sea and air forces of the United Nations ultimately may be called on to fight the former ships which remained intact.
Ministerial Psychology Explained by Rev. Hughes
The Rev. Fosberg C. Hughes of the Plymouth Congregational church spoke to members of the Psychology club yesterday on "The Way Ministers Use Psychology." The Rev. Mr. Hughes explained how ministers use psychology to deal with six different types of persons—the faithful, the careless, the difficult, the depressed, the pagan, and the down-and-out.
Lucile York. Psychology Club president, announced that the club would have its next meeting Dec. 21, with Kenneth Moore, instructor in the department, in charge of the program.

Afternoon Vespers Played by Simpson
Approximately a hundred people waded through the heavy snow Sunday afternoon to hear the organ vesper program by G. Criss Simpson, assistant professor of organ and music theory in Hoch auditorium.
The program was the one given last summer at the University of Michigan as part of the requirements for the Master of Music degree bestowed upon Mr. Simpson last June by that institution. Opening with "Toccata in F," by Bach with its passages for pedal alone, the program continued with a Choral Prelude, "Deck Thyself, My Soul with Gladness," and the lively "Sonata in G" by the same composer. Next was the "Fantasie in F- Minor," by Mozart. The Cesar Franch "Chorale in B Minor," as played by Mr. Simpson, was one of the high spots of the program.
At the close of the program, the entire third Symphony by Vierne was played.
