Two hundred tickets have been sold at the Athletic office, Earl L. Falkenstein, financial secretary to the Athletic Association said today, and many more from K. U. are expected to attend the game. The Jay Janes have chartered a bus and will leave the Memorial Union building at 7 p.m. for Kansas City.

Money from Dance To Buy Yarn For Bundle Knitters
Plans for a Bundles for America dance to be held in the Crystal room of the Hotel Eldridge at 8:30 tomorrow night were announced by Mrs. F. J. Moreau chairman of the Bundles committee. Admission will be $1 a couple and the proceeds will be used in buying yarn to make garments for the men in the Army and Navy. Shaving and sewing kits for the men in service will also be purchased.
Clayton Harbur and his band are offering their services and the Hotel Eldridge has donated the use of the Crystal room. Tickets are on sale at Brick's, the Blue Mill, and the Hotel Eldridge.
New Bundles Group Retains Old Directors
In a short meeting held during W.S.G.A. tea yesterday afternoon, a representative group of Hill women decided that the University organization of the Bundles for America would continue under the same direction as before. Mrs. C. J. Posey will act as general chairman, Mrs. Lewis Young and Mrs. Will Johns, Jr., as heads of the committees. The group will work in conjunction with downtown chairman Mrs. F. J. Moreau.
Cleared up in the meeting also was the apparent contradiction in the organization's work shown recently by newspapers. A letter from Mrs.Wales Latham, national president, explained the set-up. Receive Specific Requests
"Bundles for America, Inc., has received during the past week specific requests and requisitions from commanding officers of the Army and Navy totaling 81,000 garments for immediate delivery. The organization does not request its branches to make any garments until they have been specifically requested by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard.
"Bundles for America also received last week an emergency allotment of 31,700 pounds of worsted yarn from the war production board in Washington, in order that work would not be held up even a day in production of these urgently needed garments.

"The official attitude of the Arm
Nearly all Hill food handlers have taken tuberculin tests, physicians at Watkins Memorial hospital announced today. Those few who have not yet reported are urged to do so soon. Similar tuberculin examinations are being given to several members of the faculty.
The tuberculin examinations are in accord with a ruling adopted by the University in an attempt to control tuberculosis. The University's action in requiring tests of food handlers and of faculty members followed a vigorous campaign by the Daily Kansan in the spring of 1940.
Psychological examinations for all new students except graduate students and Summerfield candidates will be given in room 306. Fraser hall at 2 p.m. to-morrow. The examination will last about two hours.
This examination is required of all students entering the University for the first time and is part of the official enrollment schedule.
Fine Arts Students To Give Program At Dance Tonight
Students from the studio of Mrs. Alice Moncrieff, professor of voice, will present a patriotic program before the dance sponsored by the city WPA Recreation council in the auditorium of the Lawrence Community building from 7:30 to 9:30 tonight.
E. M. Brack, tenor, will sing "The Star Spangled Banner," and Edgar Haage, baritone, will sing "Spirit of Kansas." Eugene Jennings, fine arts freshman, will accompany the soloists.
Russ Chambers' band will furnish music for the dance. The program and dance are open to the public without charge.
Red Cross Needles Fly In Fraser
The Red Cross sewing room opened Tuesday morning in room 116, Fraser hall, offering University women an opportunity to sew for civilian and military needs. The work consists of both hand and machine sewing for foreign and domestic groups.
This is an entirely voluntary project. The Red Cross committee urges each University woman to take part. Several organized houses have made plans to sew in small groups, and the Women's Self-Governing Association and other organizations have also made arrangements to sew.
Hours which the room remains open are from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday and from 2 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The sewing room is not open on Monday.
This Red Cross group was organized under the direction of a committee of faculty women, townswomen, and students. Mrs. Paul B. Lawson is chairman of the committee.
Contrary to general opinion, yarn is still available for women wishing to knit for the Red Cross or Bundles for America. Yarn for Red Cross knitting may be obtained at the sewing room, and yarn for the Bundles for America work may be obtained at the W.S.G.A. teas in the women's lounge of Frank Strong hall on Wednesday afternoons.
Mrs. Henry Werner is in charge of the knitting for Bundles for America.

The lectures, which will be presented each Thursday evening in Fraser theater, are open to the citizens of Lawrence and surrounding communities as well as to the students of the University. The course will consist of 15 lectures, and will offer one hour of college credit.
"How the War Came to Europe" will be the first lecture given by C. B. Realey, professor of history, at 7:30 this evening. This lecture will include discussions of the English and French policy versus the Axis and of what measures could have been taken to prevent the present war.

The World at War, new lecture course designed to present a basis for judgment of problems of America at war, attracted 365 students on the first day of enrollment at the University.

Realey To Speak To World War Class Tonight
"We must stabilize all classes as much as possible this week, so that any student who makes application for a change of schedule after Saturday morning will have to have the most unusual of reasons," Dean Lawson said.
Students enrolling for the first time, or enrolling late, will enter the gym through the north door, while students desiring to make a change in their present enrollment schedule will go to the east door.
Veta B. Lear, assistant to the dean of the college, said this morning that no figures could be given out as yet on the change in the number of students enrolling in the College this semester. The work of speeding up the enrollment process has left little time for the office to tabulate the figures.
