New Cheerleaders To Perform Before Judging Group
Attention all freshmen and sophomores who have somewhere deep down in their hearts a desire to become one of those few select persons that lead the group in the yells for the old state U! If you be one of this group you must have your application in the office of Henry Werner, men students adviser, room 1, Frank Strong hall, before 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. Then report to the west track of
Memorial stadium at 4:30 p. m. the same day.
Roy Edwards, head cheerleader and president of the KuKu's stressed the fact there were five berths empty on the squad, four for freshmen and one for a sophomore, and that by noon today only eleven applications had been turned in at Werner's office. This, he said, is a very small number.

Skorga Recaptures Kansan Contest Lead
Weekend voting again boosted Henry Skorga to the lead among the men candidates in the Kansan's Holiday Excursion contest. Ruth Kelley's slim lead among the women was distinctly threatened by the Independent Student Association's candidate Georgia Mae Landrith.

Among the men Kenneth Ketchum, independent, had fallen into second place. He was followed by Ray Evans, Phi Delta Theta, and Kenneth Nicolay, Delta Tau Delta. In fifth place among the men is Eldon Beebe, the I.S.A.'s male candidate.

17 New KuKu's Will Perform For Actives
Seventeen University men became KuKu's at the pep club's meeting in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building last night. The organization then went ahead to plan the traditional day of antics for the initiates.
Activity Tax Is a Mistake
According to Karl Klooz, Bursar of the University of Kansas, the business office will not collect the 59 cent tax on activity books until tomorrow morning. This is due to the fact that this Federal Admissions tax will not become effective until Oct. 1. Prior to the passage of this bill, educational, charitable, and religious organizations were ex-

To Speak On China
Dr. J. A. Miao, commissioner of health of Yunnan Provincial Health Administration at Kunming, China, will speak in Fraser theater at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon on "China at War."

For the past year he has been in the United States, working at Harvard on a fellowship awarded him by the Rockefeller Foundation. He has just received the degree of Master of Public Health from Harvard. He is stopping here on his way back to China.
Whitney Problem Ties M.S.C. Hands
The political battle over the constitutionality of the appointment of Dave Whitney to the Men's Student Council still rages. There was no M.S.C. meeting last night as scheduled.
All P.S.G.L. members showed up at the Pine room of the Memorial Union building for the meeting, but no Pachacamacs were present. They maintain that the P.S.G.L.council members were notified yesterday afternoon that the meeting had been called off.
Dave Watermulder, president of M.S.C. said this morning, "The only reason the student council meeting was called off last night was to avoid further friction between the parties until the question of the constitutionality of the appointment of Dave Whitney to the council has been definitely settled. As soon as the question is settled, a meeting will be called, but not before."
The P.S.G.L's did not make a quorum. No business was transacted.
The question was referred to a faculty committee of three last Saturday night. The following report
from the committee was turned in to the Kansas:
Report of the Faculty Advisory Committee
Concerning alleged vacancy on the Men's Student Council. September 27, 1941.
By mutual agreement of the parties, all questions concerning the validity and application of Bill No. 3 were reserved for future consideration.
The primary question submitted to the Committee Saturday, September 27, 1941, was whether, upon the facts presented, Article 5 of the constitution caused the office of president to remain vacant. A majority of the Committee authorized the chairman to report to the Chancellor that the Committee's answer to this question was, "Yes."
The collateral question of whether, under the facts presented, a vacancy occurred on the council became moot upon the answer to the primary question.
J. B. SMITH,
Chairman, Faculty Advisory Committee. Watermulder said that the new
Supreme court, composed of two men from each party, would be sworn in at 1:30 this afternoon. The men sworn in were Bill Douce and Bill Hunzicker, Pachacamacs, and Chad Case, P.S.G.L. The three new members will meet with Bob Marietta, P.S.G.L. member of the council, and select a fifth member for chief justice. After the chief justice has been chosen the court will sit on the case and make a final decision. He said that he hoped that the court would be able to hand down a decision on the question either this afternoon or tonight.
