Plans for a big rally at Lincoln were announced at the KuKu meeting last night in the Kansas Room of the Memorial Union building.
WEATHER FORECAST
Partly cloudy, becoming fair in afternoon, cooler in southeast.
Plans for a torchlight parade Thursday night were discussed. The parade, sponsored by the KuKu's and the Jay Jane's, will form in front of the Memorial Union building at 10 p.m.
Roy Edwards, president of KuKu's and head cheerleader, said the rally would start at the Union Pacific station in Lincoln at 11:30 Saturday morning when the train carrying the K.U. band and students arrives. From the station the group will parade through the streets of Huskerville.
The new members of the organization were welcomed and the merit system was explained to them by Edwards. The merit system, Edwards said, means that each member must be present at all rallies, games, and meetings. Three absences for a member causes his name to be dropped from the roll.
Bob Groom, freshman independent from Wichita, was elected president of the Pachacamac Freshmen inner circle Sunday night. Groom will lead the party in the coming freshman election.

Three other officers were elected at the meeting. Harry Grimmshaw, Delta Tau Delta, vice-president; Charles Cowan, Sigma Chi, secretary; and Bob Mann, Templin hall, treasurer.

Appoint Seven To Decide on Hall Contract
Decision on whether to accept or reject contracting bids on the University's proposed Jolliffe hall will be made by a special committee of seven early next week, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
Only money available for the new men's cooperative dormitory is the 50,000-dollar gift presented to the University by O. Jolliffe of Peabody last spring.
Members of the committee appointed by the Chancellor to make the decision are these: Henry Werner adviser of men, chairman; George M Beal, professor of architecture; Verner F. Smith, architect for the hall; Hermina Zipple, Union building director; Karl Klooz, bursar; Leonard Axe, professor of economics; and Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor.
Bids were made Monday at the State House in Topeka on the general contract, and on the heating, plumbing, and wiring contracts. About twelve interested companies gave estimates.
If built, the new Joeliffe hall is expected greatly to reduce the housing problem for men here on the Hill. Proposed site of the building is directly east of Templin hall.
"Join" Is Y Theme At Banquet
Starting off the year's program with a membership banquet, the Y. W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. expect a crowd of 600 to pack the ballroom at 6 o'clock tonight, to enjoy food, fun, and fellowship.
Harry O'Kane and Miss Roberta Tucker, "Y" secretaries, will outline the year's schedule of events and the combined Y.M.-Y.W.C.A. program.
Highlight of the banquet will be an address by Dr. Paul Weaver, professor of philosophy at Stephen's College, Columbia, Mo., who will speak on problems facing modern college youth.
Topeka alumni will rally tomorrow night in the Hotel Jayhawk, Saul D. Kass, program committee chairman, has announced.
Coaches Gwinn Henry and Vic Hurt will address the gathering. Pictures will be shown of the Kansas-Washington game. The Topeka high school football squad will be guests.

Scoot Somers Fills Vacancy of Ruppenthal
The first peaceful meeting of the Men's Student Council was held in the Fine room of the Memorial Union building last night. Although the Pachacamac party had a one vote majority over their political opponents because of the absence of one P.S.G.L. member, they did not use it.
Scoot Somers, Pachacamac, was appointed to fill the vacancy created when Hal Ruppenthal was drafted last week.
Hear from Mullen
The dance committee outlined the possibilities for a new type of dance to be held later in the year. Dave Watermulder, president, read a letter from C. H. Mullen, president of the M.S.C. in 39-40 and honor man on the Hill last year. Mullen suggested that his experience showed the council better off if it acted in the interests of all, rather than for one political party.
Joe Brown, Pachacamac, and Willis Tompkins, P.S.G.L., were elected to represent the council at the Middlewestern Convention of the National Student Federation at Lincoln, Neb., on Oct. 25 and 26.

Journalism Speaker on CampusTomorrow
The functions and the freedom of newspapers in war time will be discussed in Journalism Building 102 tomorrow morning by Charles V. Stansell, associate editor of the Kansas City Star. Mr. Stansell will speak at 9:30 and at 10:30 o'clock, and he will be entertained at noon in the Student Union at a luncheon arranged by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
"Everybody on the campus is invited to attend the meetings," explains Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism. "The freedom of the press is guaranteed to everybody, not only to newspaper publishers, and Mr. Stansell's talks should, therefore, be interesting and vital to all students and faculty members. Room 102 is a large lecture hall, and we'd be pleased to have scores of guests."
The department of journalism is bringing Mr. Stansell to observe National Newspaper Week, an annual event arranged to emphasize the importance of the newspaper as an institution in this democracy.
Once again women lead the men in Hill scholarship. The 1940-41 scholarship report released today from the office of James K.Hitt, acting registrar, shows the all-women average for the year 12 above the allmen scholastic standing.
Rating highest as a group are the honorary fraternities and sororities. Of these 24 organizations, 18 have more than a two-point average. Pi Delta Phi, romance languages, is high with 2.61, and close on its heels comes Phi Beta Kappa with 2.58.
In 1939-40, women beat the men scholastically by an even wider margin, standing .26 ahead of the all-men average.
Only active members have been considered in figuring the standings of organizations. In cases of apparent ties, the figure was carried to four places to determine comparative standing, and the organizations were listed accordingly.

Freshman Debaters To Try for Team In Green Tonight
Tryouts for positions on the freshman debate team will be held at 7:30 tonight in the little theater of Green hall, E. C. Buchler, professor of speech, said today.
The topic for debate will be, "Resolved: That all able-bodied male citizens should be required to complete a year of military training before the age of 21." This topic will be argued as a permanent policy, disregarding the present system of selective service.
Debaters trying out should be ready to give a five-minute speech either for or against the issue.
