Offices to be filled at the meeting by the new council members are business manager, vice president, social club director, secretary, and publicity director.
Independent students who are not at present members of the ISA may secure tickets for the spring semester for $1 at the organization's office in room 1 of Frank Strong hall. A ticket for the spring semester will include admittance to two major ISA Varsities, three to five dances given by the independent social clubs, a women's style show, and participation in intramurals on ISA teams.
Main problem facing the new council is that of reorganizing the independent social clubs into functioning organizations with active officers, lively names, and working programs.
According to President Fred Robertson, college junior, the council will discuss the main objectives to be secured during the semester "in order that the council won't spend too much time piddling with minor details and let the main purposes go hang."
First regular meeting of the new Independent Student's association central council will be held in the Memorial Union building Sunday afternoon. At this meeting council officers will be elected and plans for the spring semester will be drawn up.

Clapper's Editorial To Highlight Next Jayhawker
A total of $1,610 was granted by the Loan Scholarship committee to 31 students for second semester use during the committee meeting yesterday afternoon in the office of Henry Werner, men's adviser.
Carrying a guest editorial on "Opportunities for Youth" by Raymond Clapper, nationally known political columnist, the mid-winter issue of the Jayhawker will appear Monday, Feb. 24. Also featured will be stories and pictures of the current basketball season.
Thirty-six students were interviewed by the committee. Three were denied loans and two more were deferred for later decisions. The interviews will be continued this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
The loan fund, which now amounts to $40,000, was begun when the senior class of 1894 donated $342.30 to the University for student loans. Since that time the fund has been increased by gifts from other classes, gifts from private individuals, and interest from the fund.
Grant Loans To 31 Students
Picture sections will include final week shots, events in a professor's typical day, eighteen professional organizations, and the regular group of candid snapshots. An article on former professors who have become famous after leaving the University will be another feature.

independent baseball experience, is invited to come in anytime and talk to me regarding baseball this spring," said the new diamond coach today. No formal call will be issued until the early part of next week, and early training will begin shortly thereafter. The first few weeks will be spent in conditioning.
"We want a hitting team," he said, "and if a player can hit, we'll take a chance on his fielding."
Doctor Allen stated, "From all indications we have one of the toughest schedules with the least available material in years." The Jayhawkers open the season with Kansas State here April 4 and 5.

Record R.O.T.C.
Enrollment;
Bi-Weekly Drill
Enrollment for the spring semester in the University R.O.T.C. courses exceeds by far the enrollment at any previous time for spring semester, Col. Karl Baldwin, post commandant, announced today.
With the prospect of drilling twice weekly beginning March 3, 620 University men signed up to boost the spring enrollment over last years record high. This year's spring enrollment follows a record-breaking fall enrollment of 716 men with 657 still in the ranks at the close of the semester.
This figure was far above the expected number of enrollees. The usual number for the spring semester is around 550 to 575 students. The number of men joining the Corps differs with the percentage of men dropped with the usual enrollment loss of the University in the spring semester.
Eighteen men in the advanced course are not included in the total of 620 students because the advanced course quota issued by the War Department made arrangements for only 110 placements and these had already been filled. No quota is assigned to the basic course.
Of the 620 students enrolled, 50 men enrolled for the first time and 30 of these have had no previous training in R.O.T.C. work.
Work Under Way On Research Lab
Excavation work on the site of the new engineering research laboratory has been proceeding for more than a week.
Wooden frames have been constructed for shaping the stabilized earth blocks used in the building, but so far only experimental blocks have been made. W. C. McNown, professor of civil engineering, has been testing the blocks for resistance to heat and cold. The blocks are gray-brown in color, have a face dimension of 6 by 14 inches, and are 4 inches in depth. It is estimated that between 30,000 and 35,000 such bricks will be used. Present plans call for two walls of brick, with a two-inch air space between.
Stabilized earth is relatively new as a building material, although it has been used in highway construction.
Education Enrollment Changes
The south tower of radio station KFKU must be moved to make room for the new building. equipment and a specially-trained crew of workmen will be needed to remove the tower from its present location.
Any student in the School of Education who wishes to make changes in his enrollment schedule may do so Saturday morning in the Education office, 103 Fraser.

Proving to Dr. F. C. Allen that he was right when he described their team as the "finest Kansas freshman quintet in the last 20 years" will be the aim of a brilliant crop of yearling cagers tonight when they tangle with the Jayhawk varsity. The game will start at 7:30 in Hoch auditorium. There will be no admission charge.
"Both groups are requested to fill the cards as accurately and completely as possible and return the card to the hospital directly or give the cards to the house president who will return the cards to us." Dr. Canutesn urged.
Doctor Canuteson asks that the cards be sent to the hospital as speedily as possible since compilation of data will require a great amount of work.

Marquette Grid Game Scheduled
Marquette University became the ninth team on the Jayhawks' 1941 football schedule this morning when Gwinn Henry signed the contract for a game with the Golden Avalanche at Milwaukee, Oct. 18.
Malott To Hutchinson
This completes Kansas' grid-iron schedule for next fall. Scheduling of the Marquette game follows closely on the heels of the naming of Tom Stidham, former Okla h o m a coach, as head grid mentor at Marquette. Other non-conference teams to be met by Kansas in 1941 include Temple, West Virginia and Washington.
Data from the control group, composed of members of rooming houses, sororities, dormitories, and family groups will be used to determine the efficiency of the newly discovered vaccine.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott left this morning for Hutchinson where he will speak to the evening meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
To tabulate results and efficiency of the recent influenza inoculations to faculty members and students, Watkins Memorial hospital has mailed 850 questionnaires to the group which took the vaccines and 850 to a control group which was not inoculated.
Doctor Allen and Frosh Coach Gordon Gray seem to have the wrong slant on the basketball engagement. Court fans expect Howard Engleman to lead his mates to a decisive triumph over the yearlings. In fact, some are predicting a 10 to 15 point margin of victory.
Looks For Close Game
But ask "Phog" the probable outcome and he shakes his head, not too mournfully, however, for those cloud scrapers will be on his side a year hence, towering over his Big Six opponents.
Two Freshmen Quintets
"Phog" is confident that his boys will walk off the court victors but thinks that fans are rating the frosh squad too low. He has promised that his cagers will not go on the court with the mental attitude usually reserved for non-conference games—such as the Wichita contest. Usually the team is keyed up more for Big Six opponents.
He promises an all-out offensive with the regular lineup starting the game. The varsity will have no pity for the freshmen. It seems the yearlings have been quite boisterous in their claims for the game. Backed up by that scant 33-31 loss early in December, the fresh cagers have been predicting a reversal for the Allenmen.
Coach Gordon Gray has revamped his lineup and now has two capable quintets ready. With added practice he has developed a strong second five. A few of his cagers have improved rapidly since the previous game.
Approximately 800 agriculturalists and farm home-makers are now attending the seventy-second annual farm and home week at Kansas State College.
