X-Ray Test Pictures At Hospital
Announcement was made today from the Watkins Memorial hospital that a large number of students have not yet called for the results of their x-rays, which were taken the opening week of school with the physical examinations.
More than 700 of the 1100 x-rayed save not obtained their pictures, and he proofs are still at the hospital.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, stressed the value of these x-ray pictures saying that they will serve the same purpose as a written report signed by the Kansas State Board of Health. He pointed out that they may be used in applying for positions or in any case where a health report is required.
Dr. Canuteson asks that students who had x-rays taken but have not received the pictures call for them at the hospital during clinic hours. If unable to call in person, a student may send a signed permit to allow another person to obtain his x-ray picture for him.

Lawson Speaks At Kiwanis Convention
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, spoke Sunday evening at the opening service of the Kiwanis convention in Kansas City, Mo. The subject of his address was "Kiwanis and the Church."
The opening service was a memorial dedicated to Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas members who died during the past year.
Two junior backs from Kansas City are likely to play the leading roles in tomorrow's football game at Manhattan, as Gwinn Henry's Kansas Jayhawks, led by Ray Evans, clash with the Mike Zeleznaksparked Kansas State Wildcats.
Both men were sophomore sensations last fall, and Evans has been going great-guns this year. Zeleznak, however, has yet to get going, and might be due for a rash of touchdown runs tomorrow afternoon. Zeleznak is, in addition to his dangerous stabbing runs off tackle, a fine passer, punter, and signal-caller.
Evans and Zeleznak will be renewing a feud which began in their high school days when Evans performed for Wyandotte and Zeleznak starred for Ward. Last year in the Jayhawk victory over the Aggies Evans turned in a fine performance, whereas the Jayhawks kept Zeleznak well under control. Missing from the Jayhawk lineup, however, tomorrow will be three other faces which played a leading part in the Aggie defeat-Ralph Miller, Denzil Gibbens, and Hub Ulrich-all lost through graduation.
The Javhawk line, hit hard at the guard posts by injuries, will present a patched-up lineup against the Wildcats. Don Johnson will replace Carl Hird at a tackle position, so that Hird can fill a guard vacancy

Air Force Has Champ Life Saver
(ACP)—If the army Air Forces technical training command doesn't have the champion life saver of the services, it is waiting to hear from somebody who can dispute the record of Corp. Johnny Lounsbury of 596 School Squadron here, who has saved more than 500 lives in six years at Jones Beach, N. Y.
Quiz Kids Faculty Trips On Cabinet
Last nights Quiz Kids on the Brainbuster program did one of the most remarkable jobs of answering questions of any of the programs. Only four tickets were given to members of the audience sending in questions which stumped the faculty members. The one question which was outstanding because of their failure to answer it was in regard to the President's cabinet. None of the Quiz Kids were able to name the members of the cabinet. Nearly all of the other questions were answered expertly. The questions which were fired at the brainbusters all pertained to the Army and the Navy.
Free tickets were given to the naval officers' dinner on Navy Day, Oct. 27, to Janet Malott, Bob Malott, son and daughter of Deane W. Malott; Edward Nelson Tilson college sophomore; and Martha Dooley, fine arts sophomore.
The last in this series of brain-buster programs will be presented Thursday. The Quiz Kids on this program will be six students from Oread High School and Lawrence Memorial High School. These students will be selected from the American Government classes. Questions on this program will be pertinent of current events. Jim Gillie, business senior, will be the master of ceremonies.

Jan Savitt's orchestra, perhaps the last "name" band to appear on the campus for the duration, will have an audience of at least 700 dancers, in addition to spectators, when it performs tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium from 9 to 12, after completing a tour of the Mid-west. Ticket sales are estimated at near the 400-mark, with another day remaining.
Savitt and his musicians are making their second stand at the University, having played for the Sophomore Hop two years ago. While more prominent in the East, the orchestra has conducted successful tour through the Mid-west.
Vernon McKale, president of the MSC, requests that no corsages be worn at the dance.
Savitt's high-ranking is due to the fact that Savitt is a great violinist with a classical background and has directed his talents to modern music.
One thing stands out in the Savitt style above all other characteristics; the kick it gives ordinary tunes and polished standards alike. Its infectious off-beat lends style to the drabest of tunes. Savitt achieves this by finding just the right tempo for every number he plays, to locate the particular emphasis a song will take, and then "rearranges" the tune to fit. One of his most famous arrangements is "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise."
Four years ago, Savitt took the Tophatters out on a tour of barns, ballrooms, and theaters in the East and near mid-west, winding up with with an engagement at the New York

YM YW Plan Finance Drive
The YWCA-YMCA finance drive will begin Tuesday evening following a banquet for the members of the finance committees for both organizations. The banquet, which will be held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, will feature Dr. Paul B. Lawson as guest speaker.
During the three-day drive, which will end Friday evening, no definite membership fee will be asked of each member; however, each may give or pledge as much as he desires. Only those students who have registered with either of these organizations will be contacted. The goal set by the YWCA is $400; while that of the YMCA is $600. The drive is to raise funds and to advertise the work and service of the two groups. Calendars, listing the program of the organization for the year, will be distributed to all members.
