Freshmen Hit Campaign Pace
Freshman politicians from both the Pachacamac and the P.S.G.L parties have taken to the road in the last few days as the freshman election battle opens the political season for the year. The candidates and their politically ambitious helpers have started the house-to-house, personal contact method of campaign. Freshmen who have not had a chance to meet the candidates will probably find at least one or two from each party knocking on their door sometime between now and the election Thursday.
Both parties will be out to win the two Freshman posts on the Men's Student Council, since control of the council may be decided.
Politicians on the Hill are watching the election with keen interest. Joe Stryker and Laird Campbell will run on the Pachacamac mac ticket for the council posts and Jujuius Penny and George Worral will oppose them on the P.S.G.L. slate.
Voting hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday. Engineering students will vote in the basement of Marvin hall; other students will vote in the basement of Frank Strong hall.

K.U. Chest Drive Nets $2,245.35
Free Delivery
Contributions to the Community Chest by University faculty members and employees have exceeded last year's total by 44.5 per cent during the current drive, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, chairman of the Community Chest Drive committee announced today. The drive netted a total of $2,245.35, under the direction of a committee which included Dr. J. H. Nelson, Sergeant William Kollender, and Allen.
Approximately 97 per cent of the faculty members and employees who were solicited subscribed to the fund. Students were not solicited, and those who did make contributions were refunded.
The quota for the University was 10 per cent higher this year, with the addition of the USO and the campus Y.M.C.A. as beneficiaries of the fund. Expenditures for Christmas decorations and a fourth of July celebration are included in the budget. Dr. Allen pointed out that those faculty members who contributed to the Chest and made an additional independent contribution to the Y.M.C.A. were ultragenerous, and exemplified a true spirit of cooperation.
Southeast Missouri State Teachers college (Cape Girardeau) has reduced freshman failures in chemistry 75 per cent since organization of a drill class in chemistry three years ago.
Faculty Adds New Curriculum In Management
A new curriculum in industrial management has been approved by the faculty of the School of Business, Dean Frank T. Stockton announced today. Students who wish to specialize in this field may enroll for the courses for the spring semester, Stockton said.
The curriculum will be of primary interest to students who wish to enter factory management in general, and such special fields as personnel management, purchasing production planning and control. Three new courses which have been set up to round out the curriculum, deal with industrial technology, labor relations, and collective bargaining, and the marketing of industrial products.
"At the present time there is an unusual demand for men who are trained in the various phases of plant and factory operation," observed Dean Stockton. "It has been discovered that the lack of adequate personnel for production planning, cost control, material control, and other supervisory functions has created a new bottleneck in the personnel market as it is related to the defense program. Through the industrial management curriculum, the School of Business will endeavor to provide a more direct servicing of the defense and other industries of Kansas and surrounding areas."
