Send Journalism Notes
Notices have been sent out to 400 high schools throughout the state by the department of journalism, giving a schedule of the events to take place at the twenty-third annual High School Journalism Conference to be held at the University Oct.24-25.
Committees made up of Press Club members have been busy for several weeks preparing the program and the entertainment for the conference.
Guest speakers will be Bert Brandt, manager of the Kansas City Bureau of Acme Newspapers, Inc.; R. W. Reed, news editor and military commentator for the Kansas City Star; Hilda Mauck, novelist and short story writer for various national popular magazines; and Dolph Simons, business manager of Lawrence Daily Journal-World.
Entertainment will include the Kansas-Iowa State football game; a journalism banquet in the Memorial Union building; the Nightshirt Parade; a tea given by the women of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority; and tours of the campus to Dyche and Spooner-Thayer Museums.
Elmer Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, said today the conference has been split into two meetings-one for students and one for teachers. Arrangements have been made for teachers to attend their own meetings and make it back in time to the general sessions and discussion programs.
Two official delegates from each high school have been invited to attend the conference. They and their teachers will be furnished free rooms Friday night. Unofficial delegates may attend, but will have to rent rooms for themselves.
Registration and arrangements made for delegates will be taken care of in the newsroom of the University Daily Kansan.
Women Will Vote On Constitution
The new revised constitution of the Women's Self Governing Association will be voted on at a meeting of all University women in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
All women who have activity tickets are eligible to vote on the constitution. At least one-fifth of the total number of women on the hill must be present at the meeting before a vote can be called.
Billiard Team Needs Five Men
A five-man team is needed to represent the University in the Telegraphic Billiard Tournament scheduled for Oct. 31. Applications are being taken by Dale Bruce in the game room of the Memorial Union building.
The first telegraphic tournament will be pocket billiards. The winners will attend the National Intercollegiate Individual Pocket Billiards Championship tournament which will be held at Houston Hall at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Nov. 15.
High scorer in each of four sections; northern, southern, eastern, and western, will take part in the individual championship tournament. High scorer in each section need not necessarily be on the winning team.
The travelling expenses of the sectional high scoreer, plus $25 for other expenses, will be allowed the individual sectional champion on the trip to Philadelphia for the plav-off.
The local tournament is under the direction of the Student Activities, Keith Spalding, president.
Open House for Mars Hill to See Stars
Open house for the planet Mars will be held tomorrow night at the observatory. Prof. N.W. Storer is inviting the entire Hill in for an evening of star gazing.
Observatory doors will open at 7:30 and close at 10:30. Last year over 500 people came to take a look. Tomorrow night's viewing should attract an even larger crowd since it will be 1953 before the planet Mars is any what later than was expected be- closer to the Earth.
A 6-inch telescope will be used, and if conditions are favorable, the planet will be magnified several hundred times. In case of bad weather the open house will be postponed.
The date for the showing is somewhat later than was expected because of Marvin hall's getting in the way. Up until a few days ago the planet came up early in the east and was blacked out by massive Marvin until late at night. Margo Is Paula

Launch Drive for Community Chest Fund
The University got into the spirit of the 1941 Lawrence Community Chest drive this morning when letters were mailed to all faculty members and employees informing them of the needs of the various organizations and of the goal of $12,163.44. The University Y.M.C.A. is included in the Chest this year for the first time and is slated to contribute $550.
The Hill has been divided into departments and about 50 members of the faculty will solicit funds. The campus executive committee consists of Dr. F. C. Allen, Sgt. William Kolllender and J. H. Nelson.
Col. James Dusenbury, commandant of the R. O. T. C., has been chosen as the speaker for the kick-

To Rally Team Twice Tomorrow
Two rallies tomorrow will give students a chance to air their windpipes and give Kansas varsity footballers a rousing sendoff to Marouette.
The usual morning rally will be held in front of Robinson gymnasium at 10:20. Roy Edwards, president of the KuKu's and head cheerleader, will lead the rally. Some member of the team will give a short talk. Students are asked to be 100 per cent present and in velling condition.
A second rally will be held at the Santa Fe station at 12:55, when the team boards the train to go to Milwaukee, where they will meet the Marquette Hilltoppers Saturday afternoon. Edwards asked that all who could possibly attend the rally at the station do so, for, he said, "It is here that the team members get their last ideas of how strong the student body is behind them. These yells and cheers are the only thing the team members can judge us by."
Coach Gwinn Henry will be called upon to give a short talk to the group at the station and, if time permits, some member of the team will be asked to say a few words.

will take place on Nov. 1.
Because of a conflicting engagement in the east, Spivak was almost lost to Frolic dancers, and it was only by angling and date-switching that Burdge and his committee succeeded in obtaining the band.
Tickets Now On Sale
The Frolic will be held in the Memorial Union ballroom from 9 to 12 p. m. Friday, Oct. 31. A limit of 750 couples is to be enforced.
Tickets cost $2.00 plus tax, and are on sale at the Bell Music Store, University Business Office, and at the hostess desk in the Union building.
Spivak is the "catch" of the dance season, having been acclaimed by trade paper and music magazine editors as the bandleader of 1941. He has broken every attendance record at the Glen Island Casino in New York, birthplace of such top orchestras as Larry Clinton, Dorsey Brothers, and Glen Gray. Spivak Broadcasts Nightly
Chosen by schools, colleges, and universities as "the fastest rising band of 1941," Spivak's crew are heard from coast to coast fifteen times a week on Columbia and Mutual networks.
Spivak, "the man who plays the sweetest trumpet in the world," was recently acclaimed by Dorothy Kilgaillen, Broadway columnist, as the successor to Glenn Miller, as king of the juke box. His recordings are breaking records, with such favorites as "Time Was." "It's So Peaceful in the Country," and "Hey, Sit Down, Bud."
Crime Marches on; Truxal Slugger Still at Large
The person who slugged and robbed Fred Truxal in the South City Park Monday night is still at large, Lawrence police reported today. As yet, no clues have been discovered.
Truxal is showing continued improvement, Dr. R.I.Canuteson, director of the University health service, said today.

Plans have been completed for a leased wire account of the game to be received at the men's lounge in the Memorial Union building, with the play-by-play account being relayed to the crowd over a public address system, Keith Spalding, president of the Activities Board, said today. which is seldom received in this section.
