Streit Urges Swift Action By Democracies
The plan advocated by Mr. Streit proivides for an international organization of mankind. During the war, the United States and other democracies would unite, according to this plan, to form the nucleus for the larger organization which would follow, as the 13 colonies began as the nucleus for the United States of America.
Emphasizing that we need to act during the war, Clarence K. Streit asserted in a lecture in Hoch auditorium Tuesday night, that the United States must lead the way in any plan for the establishment of wor peace.
The federal union commented Mr. Streit, would be organized much on the same plan as the United States with a common currency, common postal system, common citizenship, and common trade regulations. The governing body would be a two-house representative body. An executive would enforce the laws, which would be laws applying to individuals since it would be a government for the people.
Authority Now Divided
Although federal union was first proposed as a means of preventing war, it is now advocated as a plan for winning the war sooner with less loss of life. With the nameless, shapeless Anglo-American alliance we now

Language Exam To Be Saturday

These examinations will be given at 10 a.m. Saturday in room 107, Frank Strong hall. Dictionaries are permitted and there will be several furnished. However, students are urged to bring their own and avoid the time lost in sharing the same dictionary with sorel persons.

Twirler
Miniature
Major Leads
"Major in miniature" is Jerry Baker 7 years old, who will handle a baton with the rest of the twirling staff of the University Band at its first field day showing, "Gay Nineties Days," Saturday. After a twirling demonstration for Director Russell L. Wiley, Jerry was admitted to band membership as a major. "He's out of the mascot class," Wiley said.
Jerry, who is in the second grade at Cordle School, moved to Lawrence from Kansas City where he had been a member of the "Majorsite Corps," of George Rhoades, one of the four University twirlers. Last year he appeared with the Lawrence High School Band.
This is the first time Jerry has played with a university, but he is rather unconcerned about the whole thing. What really excites him, is the chance to see a big football game. Jerry is somewhat of an optimist. He doesn't doubt but that K.U. will win.
The size of the crowd won't bother Jerry because he is accustomed to appering before large audiences. Last year he won the "Discovery Night" program at the Tower Theater where he appeared for a week's engagement of four shows a day.
Jerry is the son of Mr. and Mrs O. S. Baker of Lawrence.
Your activity slip must be turned in to Kansan Business office by Saturday, Oct. 17, if you want your Kansan delivered. Organized houses must turn in as many slips as they want copies of the Kansan.

Scrap Push

A second drive is planned for Oct. 30 by the Men's Student Council, it was learned today, and the KuKu Club is holding their scrap iron for the MSC.
The Coed Volunteer Corps will make plans this evening at an officer and platoon meeting in the Pine room $ ^{o}f $the Memorial Union building for a final day push to bring the total pounds as high as possible, Jill Peck, major of CVC, said today.
The CVC, in cooperating with Dolph Simons, state chairman of the nation wide scrap iron drive, is planning to use the one-half cent a pound paid for the scrap to buy gifts to send to KU men in service overseas. These gifts must be sent by Nov. 1.
Mr. Simons will provide trucks to collect scrap metal that could not be transported to the pile in front of Fowler shops. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, has reported approximately 500 pounds to be picked up; Sigma Nu's have an unestimated large pile; Mott's Stables turned in 500 to 600 pounds; Theta's reported 500 pounds; and the Pi Phi's know of approximately 1000 pounds. "The Christmas cheer for boys not here" pile is estimated at 2000 to 2500 pounds.
Malott Appoints Committee For Homecoming
Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today the appointment of a committee to coordinate activities for the Homecoming weeks, Oct. 29 and 30.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, is chairman of the committee. Serving with him are George Hedrick, of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, representing the community; Lieutenant O'Hara of the Naval Training Station; Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College and last year's homecoming chairman; Marge Rader, WSGA president, and Vernon McKale, MSC president, student representatives.
Events being planned for the Homecoming weekend include a rally and entertainment in Hoch auditorium Friday night, navy graduation ceremonies on Saturday morning, and the Kansas-Nebraska football game in afternoon.
Concerning Homecoming, Chancellor Malott said, "In view of the war conditions and the obvious difficulties of travel, it seems unlikely that as large a number of alumni will be returning for homecoming as in former years, and I do not find a very strong interest in the usual homecoming festivities this year. Therefore, a large and active homecoming committee such as we have had in former years does not seem to be required in planning for the forthcoming Kansas-Nebraska football game weekend."
The committee appointed by the Chancellor will act as a steering committee to coordinate activities already being planned to take care of the various suggestions which may arise in connection with the homecoming.
Replogle Into Navy As Trainer
Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach, today announced his enlistment in the physical education division of the navy.
