The women will induct new officers and proceed with the same parking bill; however, this will be only their second reading of the bill.
Both organs of student government, the Women's Self Governing Association and the Men's Student Council, will meet tonight, each to lick its wounds and recuperate from the respective freshman elections held last Thursday.

Grad Runs Co-op Meet Of Seven Central States
Four University students, members of the Jayhawk Co-op, were delegates to the Central League of Campus Cooperatives convention in Kansas City, Saturday and Sunday.
The convention, which represented seven colleges from five states, was held in the Consumers Cooperative Association plant in North Kansas City, Mo.
Jerry Fielder, last year's president of the Jayhawk Co-op a University graduate, was responsible for organizing and ting the convention. $ ^{*} $
Jerry Fielder, last year and a University graduate, wa conducting the convention, the purpose of which was to organize a regional federation of central states campus cooperatives.
The New England states, Great Lakes states, and Pacific coast states already have organized such federations as the one this group is organizing, said Garth Thomas, graduate, one of the K.U. delegates.
The purpose of such a central organization, Thomas said, is to help organize new campus co-ops, and to distribute information in regard
to co-op memberships, financing,
buying, and other problems.
A provisional program was set up and a temporary board of directors selected at the Kansas City convention. The duty of this board of directors will be to draw up plans for a much larger campus cooperatives convention which will be held here in April. At that time provisions will be made for permanent federation and a paid coordinating executive secretary.
Hectic Weekend Causes It
The University representative on the board of directors is Paul Gilles, college sophomore.

Throckmorton merely grunted.
Undaunted, I tried again. Raising one eyelid approximately two millimeters, I allowed my stentorian tones to reverberate throughout the room. "Throckmorton, it's 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, and we've got an 8:30 which we have neglected to study for, and if you don't get up pretty quick, we're going to be cramped for time."
This argument evidently aroused the competitive spirit in my sleeploving companion, for he, with one great effort of his marvelous physique, literally hurled himself to one elbow.
Assuming his best Socratic air, my strange bedfellow surveyed the depressing scene before him, and uttered his usual words of greeting for a particular hour, "Ugh."
Action Is Needed
Ignoring this rather obvious attempt to draw me into academic argument, I again impressed my friend with the urgent need for action. Acquiescing, he nonchalantly swung one leg over the edge of the bed and proceeded to encase it in a rather old, smelly sock.
This startling statement caused me rather sketchily to survey the eventful segment of time to which my companion referred. Visions of rallies, parades, nerve-wracking football games, mixers, and allied forms of entertainment and exercise impressed me with the thought that such doings did indeed require the type of physique which only Charles Atlas could give you.
Looking up from this arduous task, he remarked that week-ends were obviously capitalistic institutions designed to bring more business to the upper-class doctors.
The past week-end was a rather horrible example. One would think that one night of joyful abandon would suffice for one week, but Saturday the entire campus was again rallying to the cause. Of course, one couldn't miss the game. The boys were really in fine fettle for the
"It has always been a mystery to me the lengths to which the human organism will go in o ler to convince itself that it is having a good time. Points to Example
My chum evidently had been pursuing the same line of reasoning, for he broke precipitately into my thoughts.
Sophomore Hop Tickets Placed On Sale Monday
"Speaking of the football contest, old thing, makes me wonder if the student body doesn't work as hard to win as the players. I, personally felt like a sixty-minute left guard after being the recipient of several hearty blows from an excitable old grad on my left. And, of course, at the varsity Saturday night, several excellent brands of broken field running were in evidence."
Tickets for the Sophomore Hop, Dec. 14, with Larry Clinton's orchestra, will go on sale Monday, Fred Littooy, dance manager, announced today. They may be obtained at the Memorial Union or at the Bell Music office for $2.
So saying, we dashed madly out the door in order not to miss a particle of that 8.30 lecture, which is always the high spot of the day for us.
fray, and gave a creditable account of themselves. One might almost say we won a moral victory, although the statement has a bad taste to many old-timers."
One of the most talked of bandleaders in America today is Larry Clinton. He is the "miracle man" of the music business, gaining instantaneous recognition of his early attempts in the musical world. At 14 he first tinkled the piano professionally. Ten years later, when he was playing the trumpet for Ferde Grofe, he had learned to play every instrument in the band.
“Well,” concluded my companion, tying a rather scuffed shoe, “I hope my profs feel better than I do today, because they're to turn in the mid-semester reports, which is always a rather ticklish spot for yours truly.”
As a parting thought, we remembered to be glad that we had an extra day to regain our composure, and perhaps some of the sleep we had missed.
Not only has Clinton composed such hit songs as "My Reverie," "Dipsy Doodle" and most recently "Our Love," but he arranges for Glen Gray, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey and others.
Cold, isn't it?
Dean R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education spoke last night to the students of Haskell Institute in an Armistice Day program.

Molotov Talks With Hitler In Berlin
By UNITED PRESS
Soviet Premier V. M. Molotov was in Berlin today for conferences with Adolf Hitler on which may hinge Axis plans for continental organization of Europe and an offensive to strike at the British Empire, root and branch, from the stormy English channel to the China seas.
The British took a gloomy view of the Molotov conferences and doggedly hewed to their tasks of war, raiding the great Italian naval base at Taranto for the first time by air and aiding their Greek allies to smash at disorganized Italian troops in the frontier mountains of northern Greece.
Molotov arrived in Berlin shortly before noon accompanied by 32 aides. Within an hour, he had gone into conference with Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, who met him at Anhalter station. Few Facts Known
There was vast speculation as to the purpose and possible outcome of the Molotov discussion but few concrete facts.
It was noted in Berlin, however, that the welcome for Molotov was not as elaborate as some which the Nazis have provided in the past for distinguished foreign statesmen despite the fact that this is Molotov's first visit beyond he soil of Russia and he first occasion in history that a Soviet premier has visited a foreign land.
The British view of the conference was that whatever its result it probably would be bad news for England. One thing was generally assumed - British efforts to wean Soviet away from Germany now have little prospect of success.
However, it was revealed in Moscow that Sir Stafford Cripps, British ambassador, conferred there yesterday with the vice-commissar for foreign affairs, Andrei Vishinski, as Molotov's train was rolling toward Berlin.
In London and the Balkans it was believed generally that Turkey, and the Far East were the most likely subjects of Nazi-Soviet discussion. Istanbul expressed some doubt that an agreement affecting her status would be reached, and Sofia pointed

Open House Soon For Observatory
N. W. Storer, associate professor of physics, said today that no visitors came to the University observatory last Saturday night. Cloudy weather prevented clear visibility, and therefore the moon couldn't be observed through the 6-inch telescope.
Another open house will be held at the observatory within the next two weeks. Two planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will be the probable objects of observation.
