WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24, 1941 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE SEVEN Peterson Gives Schedule For Modern Choir Plans for the first separate concert of the Modern Choir were announced today by Clarence Peterson, director. With 14 members returning from last year's group, Peterson will select 12 to 15 new singers at tryouts this weekend. The choir is scheduled for an appearance at the Union Building Hallowe'en Party, but it is expected earlier concerts will be presented at midweeks and before other groups. The choir also will be featured on the annual Homecoming broadcast. Peterson emphasized that the choir would be glad to assist any campus group with programs. Basses and tenors are especially urged to try out in the Memorial Union Ballroom at 3:30 p. m. Friday and 9 a. m. Saturday. A pianist is also needed. The group will practice two hours a week throughout the year. The first undertaking of the choir will be the recording of three original theme melodies, accompanied by the University Symphony orchestra. The songs were composed by Peterson, and will be used as introductions to KFKU broadcasts. Members returning are Chestine Wilson, fa '43, Miriam Bartlett, c '42, Sally Connell, c '43, Betty Jeanne Hess, c'43, Betty Leimbert, c'44 and Larry Nelson, c'42, Jack Coyle c'42, Grier Stewart, c '42, Larry Henley, b '42, Bill McElhenny, b '42, Scotty Knox, c '43, Bob White, c'43, Jim Sherman, c '43 and Don Mitchell, b '42.

Armed Vessels- But Congressional Isolationists in both houses promised the president the "toughest" battle he has had if he seeks repeal of th act—which would permit American flag ships to go to British and other ports now closed to them—or merely asks that the prohibition against arming those ships be lifted. "Arming merchant vessels would be the first step in breaking down the Neutrality Act — another step leading toward war," said Sen. Charles W. Tobey, R., N. H. "He will have the toughest fight in congress he ever had," said Sen. D. Worth Clark, D., of Idaho. "Repeal would put us into the war zones and many of our ships would be sunk," said Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y. "It is just a trick to get us into the war by subterfuge and there will be a tremendous fight in the house." But there was no indication so far that the administration congressional majority on foreign policy was shrinking although some persons conceded that a battle over repeal of the act or for an amendment to permit arming of ships would be a better than lively contest. Chairman Tom Connally, D., Texas, of the Senate foreign relations committee and some other administration supporters indicated before Mr. Roosevelt spoke of arming ships that repeal was coming in time but not immediately. Others felt that the administration would prefer to feel out Congressional temper with the new lend-lease appropriation before raising too tumultuous an issue as neutrality repeal. On the most recent major question of foreign policy before Congress the House sustained Mr. Roosevelt by a single vote last August on extension of service of the citizen soldiers.

The Extension Division of the University of Kansas has completed plans for conducting classes through the department of sociology of the University, for social workers in the north central counties of Kansas, under the sponsorship of the North Central Association of Social Workers, of which Marvin Rosene of Belleville, is president. Dr. Carroll D. Clark, chairman of the department of sociology at the University, will offer a course in social pathology, for The extension course has been designed first to aid social workers in Special schools: Dorothy Roberson. The organization meeting is to be held at the Belleville high school building on October 3. Dr. Carroll D. Clark, chalogy at the University, will offer a period of twenty-five weeks; one session a week. The course will be given for social and welfare workers, teachers, and other interested persons of Cloud, Clay, Jewell, Lincoln Republic, Washington and Mitchell counties. Classes will be at Belleville as the focal center of the project. If for any reason next week's decision should be against an immediate request for repeal or modification of the act, Mr. Roosevelt could continue with the program already undertaken of arming American-owned vessels which escape restrictions of the act because they fly the Panamanian flag. At least nine such vessels already have been armed and one of them, the Pink Star en route to Great Britain in a Canadian convoy, was sunk Sept. 20, presumably by a submarine. Those nine were requisitioned Danish vessels. The Maritime Commission estimates that there are more than 100 additional American owned vessels, of which 45 are owned by the government and chartered to private operators, operating under the Panamanian flag. They could be armed and already may be receiving armament. The nine requisitioned Danish "Also, it will enable those desiring to prepare themselves for graduate professional schools of social work, to earn credits toward the A. B. degree and likewise to fill prerequisites for various courses in schools of social work. It will enable practicing social workers on the job to broaden their knowledge and find stimulation that will help them in their work.' strengthening their basic knowledge of social and personal relationships whatever their stage of educational advancement," said Dr. Clark. There apparently authentic reports here that some American merchant ships were carrying small caliber machine guns for "target practice." They would be useless against a submarine but might pink a low flying air raider. vessels were equipped with guns — presumably United States Naval guns—in Atlantic ports. Mrs. Maria Reyes, of Nicaragua, died recently at the age of 123 years. Lend-lease appropriations authorizing the President to aid any country whose defense he regards as vital to our safety provide the financial means of arming American-owned vessels under Panamanian registry. Far from all—perhaps only nine—of those vessels have been armed, however. The merchant ships Sessa and Montana, both requisitioned from Denmark and registered in Panama, were unarmed when they recently were sunk enroute to Iceland. It is presumed that the vessels armed so far are trading directly with Great Britain. The Jewish year 5702 began September 22. WANT ADS BOYS: Furnished kitchenette apt. for 2, 3, or 4.
