(continued to page eight)
Captain John C. Craig, famous explorer and deep-sea diver, will present a graphic word picture of the situation in the Philippine Islands, accompanied by colored moving pictures in his lecture at 8:20 tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
Students will be admitted by activity books; reserved seats are 50 cents and general admission will be 35 cents, plus tax.
Captain Craig is competent to speak on the Philippines and its link in today's chain of significant events. Six months ago, Craig realized the strategic importance of the Philippines, America's last frontier in the Pacific, and $ ^{*} $
Three K.U. students escaped injury late yesterday and one received slight injuries when a car in which they were riding overturned on Kansas highway No. 10, four miles west of De Soto. The students, all members of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, were traveling toward Kansas City when their car collided with a vehicle driven by Dr. S. A. Watson, 77-year-old Gardner veterinarian.
get out to get the lowdown. Receiving cooperation from various branches of American service, Craig interviewed representatives citizens and officials to get as straight-forward and unbiased a report on the Philippines as he could.
Craig, winner of a motion picture academy award, will run his beautifully colored documentary film on the Philippines in conjunction with his lecture. The color, life, and pleasures of the Islands will be shown along with photographed sections of the islands still marked "unknown" on maps.
Speculating on what will happen in 1946 when the Philippines are to receive their independence, Craig believes that the inhabitants would be much happier under continued democracy, that the Filipinos themselves dread their independence which would be snatched up by Japan. But they would not risk "losing face" by asking for a change of plan.

"President Quezon has built his political organization on the promise of independence," Craig states. "To back down now is to lose face. The political machine cries independence in 1946, and in their

The institute was sponsored by the School of Law, the Kansas Bar Association, and assisted by the Douglas County Bar Association.
The institute gave attending lawyers an opportunity to study intensively the technical subject of taxation under expert guidance. A clinical discussion on special problems brought up by attending lawyers followed the regular session.
In charge of the institute were Prof. Tupy, Ellis D. Beves, and (continued to page eight)

Templin Fund 80th Birthday Marks 58 Years of Service
Plans for a movement to establish a Templin Fellowship Fund at the University as a memorial to Olin Templin, member of the University staff in various capacities for the past 58 years, were announced yesterday on the occasion of Professor Templin's eightieth birthday.
After having spent nearly six decades on Mt. Oread as a teacher and administrator, Professor Templin is still active as secretary of the University of Kansas Endowment Association.
Contributions have already been received for the fund which has a goal set at $12,000, approximately $200 for each of the years Professor Templin has served at the University. A large part of the amount is expected to come from former students of the professor.
Noted Alumni Give
A contribution from ex-President Herbert Hoover in recognition of Templin's work with the United States Food Administration during the first World War is among the early contributions received. William Allen White, Emporia publisher and a University of Kansas alumnus, has also added to the fund.
Definite arrangements concerning the Fellowship have not been made but preference for the awarding of the Fellowship will be given to students of philosophy, the subject Professor Templin taught for many years. Letters are being sent to all living former students of Templin with an explanation of the project and solicitation for contributions to the fund.
MSC to Vote On Point Plan
The Men's Student Council will consider the activity point system bill when it assembles in regular meeting tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
The bill calls for a definite limit on the number of extra-curricular activities in which one student can participate at one time. The ruling would apply to men only.
Dave Watermulder, president of the council, indicated yesterday, however, that the vote may be deferred because of the involved system of activity points that must be devised. The committee which presented the bill drew up a tentative point system, but recommended that the council revise and add to it.
Since the bill was introduced at the last regular MSC meeting, council procedure means that final vote on the measure should take place tomorrow night.
May Not Vote on Question
Bill Limits Student's Activities
Under the proposal, each Hill activity would have a certain value in points, the top allotment being four points for president of the council. The limit for each man would be from 5 to 6 points, according to whether his grade point average was below or above 1.5.
The system would be administered by a body known as the Men's Student Activities board, which would be composed of six members: the president of the MSC, the president of the Inter-fraternity council, the president or a male representative of the ISA, members of the MSC representing both political parties, and a faculty member appointed by the Chancellor. The board's objective would be to prevent any student from becoming overburdened with activities, and also to assure others the opportunity of participation. The Student Supreme Court would have final authority in all cases.
Consensus Bill Will Pass
Watermulder and other councilmen have expressed the belief that the measure will pass when it has been satisfactorily worked into shape. Some opposition is expected, although no political issue is involved.
Another matter to claim council attention tomorrow night will be a bill to set up permanent organization for the annual publication of a University calendar. This bill would make the calendar pay for itself, a situation which does not exist this year. The calendar was financed by the University Reserve fund and sold at half cost this year, Water-mulder said yesterday, for the sole purpose of introducing it to the students. If the bill is passed, the price of future calendars will be raised to cover theoe ff fffff raised to cover the cost of publication.
Jayhawkers! "Know your university."

Origin of traditions and customs of the University of Kansas as well as history of the University itself will be discussed by F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
In his lecture, "Vision That Be came a Fact," Professor Melvin will explain University origins in light of new findings made in connection with the 75th anniversary celebration last spring.
Difficulties he has encountered in securing historical records and pictures relevant to his research work; the part the University has played in the development of Kansas; and the work of the first committees that attempted to write K.U.'s history are among the subjects that Professor Melvin will discuss.
