ISA Council Lays Plans For 'Jay Talk'
Z-229
Joy Miller, college freshman, was appointed editor-in-chief of the mimeographed paper that soon will appear bi-weekly. She has announced that positions for assistant editors and business manager are available. Students interested should leave appliactions at the I.S.A. office.
The purpose of the paper, said Robertson, is to provide a means of informing members of the LSA. of the social program of the organization and to unify the association.
Distribution methods have not yet been worked out, but the paper probably will be delivered to the residence of each subscriber.
Fred Robertson, president of the association, said that the paper would sell to independents at a subscription rate of 5 cents for six issues. It will consist of two sheets mimeographed on both sides.
Spring Semester Enrollment Drops
A final check of enrollments in all the schools of the University revealed a total of 3,623 students who have paid fees for the second semester and 41 others who have enrolled but have not yet paid their fees, Bursar Karl Klooz said this morning.
The check, completed yesterday afternoon, shows a decrease of 250 from last year's total of 3,877 paid at the same period of fee payments. However, this figure does not necessarily indicate a greater drop than usual in University enrollment, Klooz said.
It shows a smaller decrease compared to last spring's enrollment than the fall enrollment figure which showed a decrease of 300 compared to

In Convocation Tomorrow Angell Will Probe War
NUMBER 94.
The power of the German system of totalitarianism and the scope of its influence will be discussed by Sir Norman Angell, British journalist and author, at the 10 o'clock convocation tomorrow in Hoch auditorium.
Students who can do without that mid-morning coke will hear Sir Norman, who has been lecturing in the United States since July, discuss "How A Nazi Victory Would Affect America."
Many Eastern universities, among them Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia, have heard Sir Norman
discuss the subject of German aggression. As the author of several widely read books on the subject, Sir Norman's latest book, "America's Dilemma; Abone Or Allied" is a strongly presented argument favoring America's intervention in the war through aid to Britain.

Tentative plans for future trips include one-day operations on The Topeka Daily Capital, The Kansas City Kansan, William Allen White's Emporia Gazette, and other Kansas dailies.

Build-By-Fee Plan Gets OK From House
A proposal to allow state schools to build student union buildings and dormitories financed without cost to the state through student fees and rentals was approved for passage by the house of the Kansas legislature yesterday.
The measure is designed primarily to allow Kansas State to build a new union building, but applies equally to the University and other state-supported schools, including the School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan. A similar proposal has been referred to committee in the senate awaiting house action.
The bill provides that only two such buildings may be financed at any institution at one time. Each building may not exceed a total cost of $300,000. The bill would authorize the Board of Regents to lease state grounds to non-profit organizations for the construction of buildings of the two types mentioned. The state assumes no liability, but the buildings become state property when the costs are retired.
Another measure of interest to University officials was the teacher's retirement proposal which the senate yesterday decided did not cover the employees of the larger state institutions, denominational schools, and municipal universities.

As Big Six Representative--ley will come at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he directs the Uni-University of Wisconsin Band playing "Onward Kansas" before the convention of bandmasters and representatives from the 10 leading music publishing companies of the country.
Wiley Will Direct 'Onward Kansas' At Music Meet
Russell L. Wiley, director of the University Band, left this afternoon to attend the American Bandmasters' Association convention in Madison, Wisc.
Wiley, the only Kansas member in the association, is also the association's sole Big Six representative. The organization, strictly "the elite" among American bandmasters, has a membership limited to 77 of the outstanding band directors of the United States.
Big moment for Bandmaster Wiley will come at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he directs the Uni-University of Wisconsin Band playing "Onward Kansas" before the convention of bandmasters and representatives from the 10 leading music publishing companies of the country.
The piece, composed by Jack Laffer, a University graduate in 1938, will be played from the manuscript copies.
Composed by Laer
The Madison convention is the
annual meeting of the association. Its main purpose will be to discover and develop new band music, revise old publications, and make transcriptions from orchestra literature to new band arrangements. Great interest is also taken in the development of band repertoire for high school, college, and professional bands.
Forty-six numbers will be played by the University of Wisconsin and Madison Municipal bands, approximately 35 of which will be played from manuscript copies of new band music.
Also useful to the band directors will be a display of sample band programs. Each bandmaster attending the convention submits a number of programs which his band has used in the past. The collection will be exhibited for display of each bandmaster's selections.
Wiley was voted into the organization two years ago, but since that time he has had to take a 12-hour examination and receive final confirmation by the group before becoming an active member. His membership had not been confirmed at the time of last spring's convention in Hagerstown, Md., and he did not attend.
"It is my ambition," said Wiley, "to have the convention meet on this campus next year, but that will require the consent of the association.
"The sponsoring school takes a huge responsibility upon itself, having to learn as many as 50 new band arrangements from manuscript copies, and then being able to play them under guest conductors when the convention meets."
The Madison convention lasts until Sunday afternoon.
