'Owl' Gets Sweeter
NUMBER 27
First Glimpse of New Humor Publication Brings "Oh's", "Ah's"
Five campus leaders expressed "Oh's!" and "Ah's!" of approbation yesterday afternoon when they got their first glimpse of the page proofs of the new streamlined "Sour Owl" which will hit the University Friday morning. Their exclamations changed to absorption in the content of the Life-magazine-styled campus humor magazine as they thumbed through the 32 pages of the photographic first edition.
Betsy Dodge, editor of the magazine which has been entirely renovated to meet a demand of the student body for a Sour Owl of a better quality, also saw the first results of her efforts toward the publication of a graphic presentation of University life. Commenting on the magazine's first issue in the new photographic form, Miss Dodge said: "The Owl (continued to page eight)
400 High Schools Asked To Newspaper Conclave
More than 130 reservations have been received by Elmer Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, for the twenty-third annual High School Newspaper Conference to be held at the University Friday and Saturday.
Notices were sent out Thursday to 400 high schools throughout the state of Kansas, and today has been the first possible date to receive any response. Barring floods, Beth expects a large number of high school students to be on hand this weekend. Teachers' Council Also Meets In conjunction with the student conference, the Kansas Council of (continued to page eight)
Council Meets, Hears Supreme Court Ruling
This decision, which men students, especially politicians, have been waiting for since the first meeting of the Council, will leave the distribution on the Council standing at ten men from each political party.
In its full decision, which was read to the members of the Council last night, the court declared:
The Court's decision was as follows: "The holding of this court is that David Watermulder may act as president pro tempore with all the powers of president, but that he does not fill the office, and consequently there is no vacancy to be filled."
☆ ☆ ☆
"We are not in favor of a compromise student government. We think it is deplorable that a constitution for University students should be so contradictory within itself that its effect is practically a nullity. Yet the duty of this court is not judicial legislation but only one of interpretation."
This was the effect of the final decision of the Student Supreme Court last night when it decreed there was no vacancy created on the Council when Dave Watermulder became president after Bob McKay left school.
The pachacamac party no longer holds the controlling vote on the Men's Student Council.
Decree Ties M.S.C Vote Ten to Ten
The court went on to explain that "If the result of this court is unsatisfactory, the way is clear for amendment."
Frolic Hours Changed
The complete decision of the court as read to the Council will be found on page three.
The Freshman Frolic, Oct. 31, will be held from 9 to 1 a.m. in the Memorial Union ballroom instead of from 8 to 12 o'clock as originally scheduled in the K-Book, Jim Burdge, dance manager, revealed today.
Women's closing hours will be extended to 1:30 a.m. for those attending the dance, Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, announced today. Women not attending the Frolic will observe the 12:30 ruling.
★★
No Midweek Tomorrow Night
Russ Chambers will play for the dance next week.
Because of the two-hour Scotch Varsity last week, there will be no midweek tomorrow night, Keith Spalding, president of the Student Union Activities Board explained today.
Charlie Spivak and his crew, who will play for the Frolic, are being featured Oct. 25 at Purdue's Homecoming dance. From there "The Band of 1941" will travel westward to be on the Hill Oct. 31.
Spivak will bring Garry Stevens, ear-soothing vocalist, the Starduster, and Bunny Shawker.
With a rhythm and swing style designed to appeal to Joyhawk dancers, Spivak's sweet arrangements have a full richness, and his swing numbers really "rock."
Dave Whitney, early fall appointee to the Council, has been barred by a decision of Student Supreme Court.
Pachacamac Nominates Freshmen
Dudley Hannstine, independent student, was nominated by the freshman inner circle of the Pachacamac party as their candidate for president of the freshman class. The nomination, along with those for the other offices, was made at a meeting Sunday night.
The other men nominated were John Bradley for treasurer, and for the two posts on the Men's Student Council Joe Striker and Laid Campbell.
Consider Calendar, Old Songs
Prospects of making a school calendar and of publishing sheet music of old University songs were discussed at a meeting of the Men's Student Council held in the Pine room of the Memorial Union last night.
The idea for a student calendar, with pictures of Hill life on it, to be sent out over the state and given to the students on the Hill, was turned over to the Traditions committee. Dave Watermulder suggested there were many old University songs students had never heard. The Council asked that the social committee find if it would be possible to have copies of the music and words printed for distribution to students who are interested.
The Student Statewide Activities Commission was voted $135 for use in its campaign to promote interest in the University throughout the state.
Watermulder was elected second representative to the National Student Council convention Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Lincoln. Willis Tompkins, elected at a previous meeting, will be the other representative.
A bill to investigate the labor conditions of working students was read. The bill will not be voted upon until a second reading.
Three committees were appointed.

Germans Go South Big British Error
By David Whitney Kansan United Press Editor
FOREIGN DEVELOPMENTS The emphasis in the Russian war shifted to the south today as German armies drove deep into the Donets industrial basin, evidently sweeping Marshall Budyeyny's forces before them.
While the German tank corps made only small advances on Moscow the German High Command claimed the capture of Stalino, important steel fabricating center.
The Russian armies of the south now seem to be drawn up for a defense of the town of Rostov, which stands at the approaches to the Caucasus oil fields.

ODDITIES OF THE DAY
In London the Agriculture Ministry made public a serious error they had recently made in announcing a plan to "improve a considerable area in the neighborhood of Llanfairpwilggyngligerchwndrob - willoilliogagogoo, Wales." The name should have been spelled Llanfairpwllcwyngligercychwy - rndrorwllalanosylizogogoo.
Prizefighter Maxie Baer announced in Denver that he wanted to join the navy. But he made clear that he wasn't retiring—just resting.
