Faculty Gives $1,600 to City Community Chest
Pledges amounting to $1600 have been turned in by University faculty members and employees to the University division of the Lawrence Community Chest drive, according to report from Harold G. Ingham, campaign chairman.
Funds from this community chest drive will support the budgets of the following organizations: YWCA, YMCA, Boy Scouts, Joint Christian Council, Girl Scouts, Salvation Army, USO, Social Service League, and 4-H.
It is expected that last year's total of $2,254.35 will be reached or surpassed when all pledges of employees have been received, despite the fact that a large number of faculty and employees have left for military service or other government positions, and some are making contributions through the residential drive. However, these factors are offset by a large number of new subscribers and the increased amount of individual pledges this year.
"I am very optomistic and appreciative of the response," said Mr. Ingham, explaining that solicitation thus far has been done mostly by mail.

YM-YW Drives In Final Phase
"Over the top" reports Mrs. Calvin VanderWerf, executive secretary of the YWCA, of their finance drive, while the YMCA is just going into the stretch, according to Harry O' Kane, YM secretary.
According to officials, the drives were only among members of the organizations and the funds raised are to be used at the University.
Both organizations used teams in their campaigns, the women dividing into two sides captained by Marjorie Rader and Jeanne Shoemaker. Marian Hepworth was in charge of the campaign. Dub Hartley, treasurer of the YM, is supervising that campaign and is using 12 teams to solicit from members.
Fine Arts Program Canceled
A goal of $400 was set for the women's organization and $450 was subscribed, said Mrs. VanderWerf. The YM has collected $450 toward its mark of $600 and expects the drive to be completed tomorrow, Mr. O'Kane stated.
The second Fine Arts School faculty recital has been postponed until Nov. 9, D. M. Swarthout, dean, said today. Miss Irene Peabody, mezzosoprano, associate professor of voice; and Karl O. Kuersteiner, violinist, professor of violin and orchestra, will appear on the program.

Hopkins Recommends Draft for War Work
... Into Training Centers
"We are mobilizing our fighting men through Selective Service. Now we must mobilize our civilians. A Selective Service for war work at home must distribute our man-and-womanpower fairly, firmly, and efficiently." Thus wrote Harry Hopkins, Lend-Lease Administrator and Presidential adviser, in the current issue of the American magazine.
The President's right-hand man paints a stern picture of a spartan life in his article. These measures may be regimentation. Hopkins says, but it is* ___
the way a democracy must act to defend itself against aggression. "Workers will go to the spots where they are needed most. Through forced savings and taxes our spending will be limited. Rationing and priorities far more widespread than at the present time will determine the kinds of food, clothing, housing, and businesses which we shall have and they will affect every detail of our daily lives.
Train All Students for War
Hopkins strikes even nearer home when he discusses the possible conversion of our universities and the regimentation of education.

"Every college and university should be turned completely into an army and navy training center. For instance, every boy of eighteen or over in Harvard, or the University of Chicago, or Stanford, should be in the armed services. The army or
Corresponding to state and national trends, little interest in today's election is being shown at the University. According to the county clerk's office, only 17 students had voted out-of-the-county ballots by noon. Indications were that the total would be less than 100.
Students Scarce At Polls Today
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, stated that his office had received no requests from students to be excused from classes in order to return home to vote, or to vote in Lawrence. He said no provision had been made for such excuses, but the office had urged students to vote.

Naval Reserve Must Make 'C' Grade Average
Naval Reserve students must keep their scholastic standing up if they don't want to be inducted into the navy as apprentice seaman, a letter from the Ninth Naval district to Laurence Woodruff, registrar for the University, states.
Mr. Woodruff said that as far as he knew, there were no examinations on deck for the reservoirs, and that the main thing the reservists had to worry about was keeping their grades up to the University's standard.
The University will be provided a list of all students who are enrolled in V-1 or V-7, and the navy asks that they be informed of any lapse in the enlisted men's grades. After the commencement of the second semester, the University will report to the navy the names of any students who have not met the scholastic standards or who have failed to return to school.
The letter from the navy quotes a ruling established by the Bureau of Naval Personnel:
"A student is considered to be 'in good standing' as long as his academic record is maintained at the level or above that required by the institution for the conferment of a bacccalaureate degree. A student will be considered as 'not in good standing' if he failed at the end of any academic term, quarter, or semester to maintain normal progress (i.e., to maintain the scholastic average required by his institution for the conferment of the bacccalaureate degree) even if the institution is willing to allow the student to continue on probation."
The University of Kansas requires a scholastic average of a "C" or better to receive the baccalaureate degree. Therefore, a "C" average must be maintained by the naval reservist if he doesn't want to enter the navy now with the ranking of an apprentice seaman.
The campus is filled with midshipmen at all hours of the day and night. It is important, therefore that all campus drivers:
ATTENTION CAMPUS DRIVERS
1. Exercise the utmost caution and alertness.
2. Take particular care at night, as there are military units moving about the campus during the hours of darkness.
3. Remember that military units (marching men) have the right of way at all times.
5. Avoid unnecessary noise near buildings housing military men, many of whom are working during the night hours and must therefore sleep in the day-time.
4. Adopt a 20-mile an hour speed limit on the campus.
I call upon each student to cooperate in the interests of the University's full cooperation in the war-training program.

Love Scene and Folk Song
Devi Dja soiled in the following number, the Balinese "Lotus—Tundjung Biru." Her grace is well displayed in this mythical ceremony in which she is entranced, receives the spirit of the Goddess for which the dance was named, works herself into a near-frenzy, and falls exhausted.
A Javanese love scene, "Pustoko" was performed next by Devi Wani and Mimah. Glittering costumes and graceful movements of the dancers characterized this number.
The only vocal number, "Buayan", a folk-song and lullaby of Sumatra, followed. Devi Dja sang the solo part, while the rest of the company formed a chorus.
