Austrian Royalist Speaks Tuesday
Otto of Austria, heir to the thrones of Austria and Hungary, will speak to students, faculty members, and residents of Lawrence in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. Tuesday. The subject of his lecture will be "Europe in Revolt."
Otto previously has indicated that affairs are brewing toward a revolt in Europe which may soon reach the boiling stage and wipe out the German $ ^{4} $
conquerors. When he was asked to describe such a revolt, Otto said, "You cannot describe an earthquake, and it is even more difficult to describe the eruption of a volcano."
The Archduke Otto is the eldest son of the late Emperor Charles and Empress Zita of Austria-Hungary. He was born on No. 20. 1912, and until his family was exiled he lived in Austria. The family was sent to Switzerland and then to the island of Madeira.
Home Destroyed By Hitler
After his father's death on Madeira, Otto and eight other children, and their mother moved to Spain where they lived until the monarchy was overthrown. They moved their residence near the old university town of Louvain in Belgium. When the home was destroyed by Hitler's panzer divisions in 1940, the family became seperated but was later united in America.
Otto of Austria first came to the United States in March, 1940, at the

Lecturer Will Show Future Home Films
College romances of the future may get a big boost if the servantless low-cost homes pictured in the color films to be shown by Wilfrid Laurier Husband, noted New York photographer-lecturer and University graduate in 1922, in his lecture in Fraser hall at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon ever go into mass production.
Lecturing and showing a color film on "How America Lives—Today and Tomorrow," Mr. Husband will show the part homes can play in winning this war and the peace that follows by presenting pictures of houses designed by Norman Bel Geddes, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gropius, Saarinen, and other famous architects and designers. These homes will be heated by solar radiation, have a kitchen that eliminates "dish pan hands," be equipped with two way television, and have insulated glass walls.
Has Appeared Twice
The program will be under the sponsorship of the University committee on convocations and the department of architecture and students and townspeople have been invited. Mr. Husband has appeared at the University twice before on the Community Lecture series in Hoch auditorium.
After graduating from KU in 1923. Mr.Husband followed a varied career of business, journalism, lecturing, and world-wide travel. He was
at one time advertising manager of the original Scribner's Magazine. His travels included trips to Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the Far East. While in India he filmed Ghandi's first civil disobedience campaign.
He has lectured on the Far East and world affairs. His interest in homes and architecture dates from his trips to Sweden and Finland before the war. He believes that homes are a vital channel through which democracy can be strengthened. He is a brother of Mrs. Waldemar Geltch, wife of Professor Geltch, who is professor of violin at the University.
Traveled in Europe
Prof. Joseph M. Kellogg, head of the department of architecture, announced that the speaker has presented his lecture on such lecture courses as the Town Hall of New York City, the Lorado Taft series at the University of Illinois, Columbia University, the University of Minnesota, and the Town Hall series of St. Louis.
Annual TB Drive Here Next Week
The annual Red Cross Tuberculosis drive, sponsored at the University by WSGA and MSC, with the assistance of the Jay Janes, will be on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. The Jay Janes will sell 10 cent seals on the campus, and boxes bearing the Red Cross insignia will be placed at various places on the campus to facilitate contributions. Bonds selling for $5 will be on sale at the organized houses.
This movement for a fund to combat tuberculosis is especially vital to Lawrence and its territory this year, Evelyn Nielsen, college senior, warned. Statistics show that tuberculosis is unusually prevalent in a defense area.
Tuberculosis is "a young people's disease." People contracting it ordinarily are in the 15 to 24-year-old age range, she said.
Last year's contributions totaled $400. The student committee hope that this year's figure will far exceed it.
'Ghost Back' Famed Writer Serves in Navy
Robert Greenlee Pearson, once a ghost-writer and now a lieutenant in the navy, returned to his campus hang-outs Friday while on furlough from Washington, D. C.
Pearson, who is with the public relations division in Washington, was graduated from the University in 1938 and was editor-in-chief of the Jayhawker that year. A major in English, he was active in many campus organizations, but the practice that brought him the most attention was ghost-writing. He was refused membership into Phi Beta Kappa, national honor fraternity, because he admitted selling lessons to lazy and less intelligent students.
Pearson worked his way through Kansas City Junior College by writing lessons for other people, and later sold some articles to University students. He guaranteed his work for a grade of no less than a B.
After his graduation from the University, Pearson was employed as assistant editor of Shell Progress magazine, the Shell Oil Company house organ, before entering the navy.
In a story published nationally under the name of Robert Greenlee, he admitted his ghost-writing.
'Don Giovanni' Will Be Given In Union Building
Records of the full opera, "Don Ciovanni," by Mozart will be played at 2:30 today in the English room of the Memorial Union building. Marian Smith is chairman of the music committee. The opera is one of a series of Sunday afternoon programs planned by the committee.
Alvino Rey Out; No Band for Hop
Just after the campus grapevine had started its efficient task of informing students that Alvino Rey's orchestra and the King Sisters were coming for the Sophomore Hop on Dec. 5, Larry McSpadden, dance manager, has announced that the "singing guitar" and its owner will not be available.
Faculty approval for the dance had been granted at a meet-
Labor Shortage War May Bring NYA Removal
That the National Youth Association, a government employment project for students from 16 to 24 years of age, may be discontinued next year for the duration of the war was the prediction made today by Miss Mary Nobel, secretary to Harry W. O'Kane, executive secretary of the NYA.
The prediction was based on the fact that four state NYA offices have been closed in the last four weeks. Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma state NYA offices have been discontinued. Kansas state NYA business is now handled through the regional office at Kansas City, Mo. All state offices which have been closed were taken over by the regional offices.
Out of 184 projects sent to the University NYA office by the offices and departments of the campus which wanted student employees, only 64 were filled, Miss Nobel stated. This year the University NYA budget was cut, but despite the decrease of funds, the office has more jobs than people wanting employment. Some of the projects had to be discontinued because there were no students to qualify for the work.

Patriotic Plus
With victory as its theme, and followa a patriotic scheme throughout the entire performance, the 40th annual University symphony orchestra concert, under the direction of Karl O. Kuersteiner, will be presented Thursday, Dec. 3 at 8 o'clock in Hoch auditorium.
Featuring among the 400 persons taking part in the concert will be a concerto presented by four men now in training at the Gardner Naval Training Base.

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony will be performed by the Tau Sigma ballet of 25 members. Beverly Bliss will direct the ballet.
of student leaders and faculty members Thursday afternoon, and the contract was on its way to Chicago where the orchestra is filling an engagement.
However, the Kansas City agency through which McSpadden was contacting the orchestra phoned Friday night to inform him that because of transportation problems and a holdover engagement in the Windy City, Alvino Rey would be unable to play here on the scheduled date. chestra may be in this territory in There is a possibility that the or later part of December, but further information along this line is indefinite.
According to McSpadden, there are no bands of any distinction playing in this region in the near future.. On occasions, name bands make appearances on short notice, but even in such an event there would be too little time for arrangements and promotion to make a successful dance. From the present standpoint, therefore, any hopes for holding the Sophomore Hop on Dec. 5 are scanty.
Air Force Men Seek Recruits Here Tomorrow
An enlistment board, headed by Maj. W. A. Barrett, of the United States Army Air Corps, will be at the University tomorrow to accept enlistments of students in that branch of the service. For students who have already completed their physical examinations, the enlistment board will give the mental or screening tests in Watkins Memorial hospital, beginning at 2 p.m. Those who pass these tests will be sworn into the Army Air Corps Reserve.
Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, coordinator of military information. said yesterday that those who have not taken their physical examinations, may take the mental or screening tests, and the board will make an appointment for physical examinations later.
