He toured the campus under the guidance of Chancellor Deane W. Malott and spoke this afternoon to the International Relations club, Forums board, and History club at the Memorial Union.

Otto will talk this evening on "Europe in Revolt." He has said previously that European conditions "at the present time are such that revolution may be expected at any time."
The Archduke has lectured at universities and colleges throughout the country and has visited every state in the union. First-hand information is the basis of his lectures on this growing revolt in Europe. At present he is residing in Washington as a representative of Austrian national interest.

Prep Seniors May Enroll Here For Spring Term
Universities may be augmented next semester by a group of select 17-year-old high school seniors, if a plan recommended by the National Education Association is carried out
Chancellor Deance W. Malott stated, "The plan has been given some thought here and elsewhere, but no definite conclusion has been reached concerning the feasibility of such an action."
The recommendation, as announced yesterday by NEA officials in Washington, calls for 17-year-old youths to combine their last year of high school and first year of college. They would be given a high school diploma and credit for a year of college work.
The association believes that the year of college life will better prepare the youth for military service when they reach the minimum draft age of 18, and that boys who have already started a college education before going into military service will be more likely to return to college after the end of the war.
High school and college officials are generally believed to favor the plan. Should the measure be adopted, high school and college authorities would act together in selecting the students to be given the benefit of the plan.

Rader Formulates Plan To Eliminate Cliques
In an effort to do away with combines in the women's spring election, Marjorie Rader, WSGA council president, has formulated a plan which she presented to WSGA council Sunday night. The council will meet a week from tonight to vote on whether to present the plan to all University women. In order for this new plan to become a part of the constitution, one-sixth
of the University women must be present when it is read, and three-fourths of the women must vote favorably for it.
The plan presented by Miss Rader and generally approved by council members is this:
The officers of the executive council, class officers and school representatives shall be elected by the members of the executive council to be elected by that house; one representative from each Greek house to be elected by that house; one representative from each of the three
organized independent houses, Watkins, Miller, and Corbin, each girl being a resident of the house from which she is elected, and seven representatives from the independents-at-large, elected by only the independents-at-large.
Two of the seven independents shall be elected to fill the two freshman class offices, and shall be elected the first week in November. One of the remaining five independent representatives shall be a Junior in the

Turkey Day Game Closes Grid Year
By J. DONALD KEOWN Kansan Sports Editor
For several Jayhawk football stars—possibly for the entire team—Thursday afternoon's game at Columbia against the heavily-favored Missouri Tigers may be the last game of their college careers. Graduation plus service calls is expected to deplete Jayhawk football material drastically before the 1943 season gets under way.
Hoping to end the dismal 1942 season with a bang, Ray Evans and his mates will be out to stop the Steuber-sparked Tigers.
Tuberculosis Drive To Start Next Monday
"The aim of the two-day tuberculosis drive is to see that everyone on the campus is wearing a double-barred cross," was the way in which Evelyn Nielsen, college senior, emphasized the annual drive scheduled by the WSGA and the MSC for Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
One cent stamps will be sold on the campus by the Jay Janes. Every one who buys a stamp will be given a double-barred cross. Boxes in which pennies can be dropped will be placed in the Union building.
Bob Cole, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, has volunteered to take charge of the bond selling to the fraternities. Other organized and semi-organized houses are being sent explanatory letters concerning the drive.
"If the houses wish, they may buy a $5 bond or 500 penny stamps," Evelyn Nielsen explained.
The Owl society, honorary organization for senior men, will also help in the drive.
The money obtained in the drive will be given to the Douglas county tuberculosis clinic at Lawrence. Surveys prove that 71.2 per cent of the tuberculosis cases are found in defense areas. Recent cases of tuberculosis have developed in Lawrence.
