Hey, Boys! Dutch Dates! Two Bands Tonight
A double Scotch is potent medicine—especially if it's a two-hour midweek with both Clayton Harbur's and Russ Chambers' bands fizzing it up.
The dance will take place in the Memorial Union ballroom from 7 to 9 o'clock tonight. Admission will be 15 cents per person, date, and 20 cents stag. Roy Edwards, student chairman, is stressing the Dutch angle with women contributing the price of their tickets.
The entire proceeds will go to provide shelter for British children living in bombed areas. The benefit is being held in cooperation with the American branch of Save the Children Federation.
Having a dance instead of outright contributions is the idea of Henry J. Allen, recent lecturer here, in order to give the students fun
and entertainment for their money along with the feeling of having shared with those in need.
Both bands are donating their services for the evening. Russ Chambers' will play from 7 to 8 o'clock, and Harbur's from 8 to 9 o'clock.
Professor A. J. Mix of the botany department is the faculty adviser for the program.
State Nutrition Meet Draws Four To Manhattan
Four delegates from the University will attend a state-wide nutrition conference in Manhattan Friday and Saturday to formulate a state program of nutrition in relation to national defense.

Those attending from here are Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service; Viola Anderson and Kathryn Tissue, professors of home economics; and Hermina Zipple, director of memorial union and dining service.

The meeting will be conducted by Dean Margaret Justin, head of the home economics department at Kansas State College. She was appointed chairman of the state committee on nutrition by Gov. Payne H. Ratner. Twenty others comprise the committee.

Commending the correspondents on their real service to the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malott yesterday afternoon opened the first county correspondents meeting of the year in the Union ballroom.
After the Chancellor expressed the indebtedness of the University to the hometown reporters for their work in bettering the public relations of the University, K. W. Davidson, director of the University news bureau, briefly explained to the assembled correspondents the new system of help they are to receive on their weekly dispatches to hometowns.
The bureau will issue weekly news releases containing news tips and stories about the University. These will be available every Friday at the Alumni office in Frank Strong hall, headquarters of the correspondents. Stamped envelopes will also be provided.

Tickets are now on sale for the Hawaiian Hoola, a special varsity to be held from 8:30 to 11 o'clock Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom. Prospective "Hawaiians" may obtain ducats in the sub-basement office of the Student Union Activities Board or from salesmen who will contact all organized houses, Nation Meyer, chairman of the Union Social committee, announced today.
The Hoola varsity will feature Clayton Harbur's band, the Modern Choir, a Hawaiian quartette, and costumed "hula" dancers. Entering through a grass hut, dancers will find the ballroom decorated to represent a scene from the islands.
Local Police Find No Clues In Truxal Slugging Case
Admission will be 40 cents, date or stag, including tax.
The condition of Fred Truxal, college junior, who was beaten and robbed of $4 late Monday night by an unknown assailant in South City Park, was much better today, according to Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service.
At noon today the Lawrence police said they had no clues on the slugging.
W.S.G.A. Hears Their Revised Constitution
The revised constitution of the Women's Self-Governing Association was read at an open meeting of the organization in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building last night. The new constitution will be voted on at a mass meeting of all University women to be held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Three new officers were installed. They were, Virginia Gear, vicepresident; Colleen Poorman, representative of Miller hall; and Eileen Smith, representative of Watkins hall.
Two women were elected to represent the W.S.G.A. at the National Student Council convention to be held in Lincoln, Nebraska, Oct. 23, 24, and 25. They were Barbara Reber and Nadine Hunt.
Virginia Gear and Mary Francis McAnaw were chosen as the council's representatives to the forums board, and Marjorie Rader was selected representative-at-large.
Dramatic Club Makes Year's Plans Tomorrow Afternoon
All members of the Dramatics Club and interested students are requested to be in Little Theater, Green hall at 4:30 p. m. tomorrow.
Purpose of the meeting is to present the policy of the club to the members and to formulate plans for coming productions, it was announced by David Watermulder, president of the club. Plans will be made for the first social event of the year.
Announcements will be made concerning faculty advisers, relations with the speech and drama department, and the production of one-act plays throughout the year.
Women Say "No Frills" For Parties
No decorations will be used at sorority parties this year, the Women's Pan-hellenic Council decreed at its meeting last night. The dressing-up of parties was held to be unwise in the face of rising prices. Some of the sororities will give decorations money to aid-to-Britain projects.
The council meeting last night was held at the Gamma Phi Beta house. Following the business meeting, council members were entertained at dinner.
Meetings this year will be in the various houses at 4:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month, and will be followed by a dinner at the house. This practice will take the place of exchange dinners.
The program for the year, approved by the Council, will include three projects: revision of rush rules, compiling of working rules for the sororities, and revision of the Pan-hellenic constitution.
Sue Johnston, president, announced that the council will be entertained by Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 28 at Miss Meguiar's home.
Officers of the Council are Sue Johnston, president, Alpha Chi Omega; and Barbara Koch, secretary-treasurer, Gamma Phi Beta. Official delegates are Alpha Chi Omega, Reola Durand and Evelyn Schroeder; Alpha Delta Pi, Annette Woods and Barbara Whitley; Alpha Omicron Pi, Olga Carl and Bernice Moody; Chi Omega, Virginia Gear and Mary Kay Brown; Delta Gamma, Audene Fausett and Charline Johnson; Gamma Phi Beta, Marynell Dyatt and Mary Ewers; Kappa Alpha Theta, Doris Johnson and Jane Stites; Kappa Kappa Gamma, Jeanne Sunderland and Jean Fees; Pi Beta Phi, Martha Alice Horner and Kathryn Ann Hall; and Sigma Kappa, Jeanne Moyer and Mary Frances Sullivan.
The next regular meeting will be Nov. 4 at the Alpha Chi Omega house.

New Streamlined "Sour Owl"
That new streamlined "Sour Owl," giving a Life magazine presentation of the University has gone to press and will be issued on the Campus Friday, Oct. 24, Betsy Dodge, editor of the revitalized University humor magazine said today. The "Owl" will be entirely different this year, Miss Dodge commented. The object is to give the students a humor magazine they will not be ashamed of and will enjoy reading. The new issue consists almost entirely of picture narratives of "life at the state U."
Ettinger On Cover
The first issue will feature the University Jayhawkers with a graphic "shot" of Don "Red-dog" Ettinger for the cover page. Also in the magazine are picture stories of such fall activities as a typical sorority-fraternity pledge walkout, a first midweek date, the W.A.A. Sports Powwow, as well as some candid shots of subrosa entertainment offered in Lawrence.
"The magazine has retained a few
of the most popular features of the 'Sour Owl's' of the past," Miss Dodge went on to say. "One of these features is the Sour Owl Dating Guide which will contain the pertinent specifications of Hill freshman women. The Owl also will contain a new type of gossip column, cartoons, and jokes.
"The magazine will speak in Life magazine were publishing
special issue for the University." Miss Dodge said, "and we are especially pleased with the art work in the first issue. The magazine contains the work of Herb Kauffman, Owl photographer, and Jean Brock, who obtained the outstanding cover shot."
The Owl will be sold at a subscription price of $1.50 for 10 issues or 20 cents for each current issue.
