New Dates Set For Registering Of18-Year-Olds
Selective Service registration for men who became 18 in July or August will take place in the week beginning Dec. 11 and ending Dec. 17 in accordance with President Roosevelt's announcements on Nov. 18.
The president also set the registration dates for those men who became 18 in September and October for the following week and the registration for those who became 18 in November or December for the week Dec. 26-31. Men becoming 18 after Dec. 31 will register on their birthdays or, if that falls on a Sunday or a holiday, the day following.
As the act is now, only students of accredited secondary schools will be granted induction postponements. It does not, according to Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, chief of the selective service, include postponements for students in elementary or grammar schools or for students of the college on university level.
Local boards were instructed last month to reclassify men with convictions of crimes. Deferment will not be granted these in the future unless they are disqualified morally and not eligible for a waiver under new army standards.

"Rights or Resign Is Council Resolve
By Bill Haage
Men's Student Council members last night resolved that the entire Council would resign if governing rights allotted to them and allegedly appropriated by the administration are not returned to them.
Religious Week Is In Progress
A resolution passed unanimously by the Council states that student governing rights have been arbitrarily taken from them,
The Rev. Warren Grafton, minister of the Country Club Christian church, Kansas City, Mo., as speaker at tonight's banquet, will emphasize the theme of the week, "The Relevance of Christian Faith Today." For cabinet and faculty members primarily of all church and student groups, including YWCA and YMCA, the banquet will be given at 6:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union building.
Show "Back To Jerusalem"
Today through Thursday has been set aside by the Student Christian Federation as the Religious Emphasis week—the period during which all church groups of the University and groups from Lawrence churches combine to effect a united Christian impact on students. Annual observance of this week started with special services in the various churches, Sunday continuing today with a banquet, a moving picture tomorrow and three meetings Thursday — convocation, luncheon, and discussion group.

Werner Represents University on NYA
Henry Werner, adviser of men, has received an appointment by the National Youth Administration as a member of the College Work council in Kansas.
The council is composed of one representative from each of the five state educational institutions, universities, agricultural colleges, teacher's colleges, junior colleges, and denominational schools. The council considers the regional work program of the NYA and problems connected with it.
There will be a meeting of the Kansas council Saturday at Kansas State College in Manhattan.
and the resolution calls for the mass resignation of all members of the Council, with no provision being made for their replacement.
Stating that the members will "be done with the illusion of student government where no chance for student government exists," the resolution cites a list of grievances against the administration, and demands that "some workable plan of active student participation" in school government be set up. Committee Named
It names a committee headed by Bob White, College senior, to confer "frankly and openly with the Chancellor to ascertain exactly what power and scope" the MSC "possesses in the eyes of the administration." Other members of the committee are Vernon McKale, Council president, John "Scoot" Somers, and Carl Unruh.
Touched off by the shortening of Christmas vacations, the resolution states that this and other decisions, which should have been made only after consultation with the MSC, have been made without consulting the Council.
Decisions Made
Other decisions which have been made by the administration and which the MSC asserts should have been made in conjunction with the Council include: depriving students of control of the activity fee; denying freedom of the press; taking over from the Council decisions on campus parking and varsity dance rulings failure to consult with the Joint Committee on Student Affairs, a committee of faculty members and students which is supposed to aid the administration on school management; and depriving the students
