WSGA Votes a 'Hands Off' Stand On Council's Dance Pass Fight
By JIM SURFACE
An unwillingness to quibble about passes to the Freshman Frolic was expressed by the W. S.G.A. last night in a meeting in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building.
Jean Robertson, c'41, treasurer of the W.S.G.A., urged that the group go on record, not as opposed to the
passes, but rather against any reocurrence of the farcial battle which took place last year when Fred Litttoy, l'41, dance manager last year, first invalidated party passes.
Littoy relented on this, the first campaign of a battle, which later developed into a major war. However, the two subsequent class parties for last year recognized no passes although there was great hurling of accusations and gnashing of teeth.
Now with the issue once again imminent the W.S.G.A. is seeking to prevent another flare up such as the one last year.
Near the end of the school year the storm subsided long enough for Litttoy to get elected again as dance manager for this year.
Routine business of the group of women legislators consisted of the installation of Nadine Hunt, c'43, as a new member, a discussion of the Lantern Parade planned for Thursday night, a report of the Forum Committee, and the passage of three appropriations: one for the Student Statewide Activities Commission; one for the Y.W.C.A.; and one for the Housing Commission.
The body also went on record as in favor of cooperating with the other 47 states of the nation in the presentation to Mrs. Knute Rochne, widow of the late football coach, a floral display composed of the state flower of each state in the Union.

Detroit's pitching ace, "Buck" Newson, moved along smoothly to earn a well-deserved victory. Big "Bobo" set the Reds down with only eight hits.
Big Paul Derringer lasted only one and a third innings today as the Detroit Tigers turned loose their vaunted power to smother Cincinnati 7-2 in the first game of the World Series this afternoon.
The Tigers' big second inning started with singles by "Hank" Greenburg and Rudy York. Campbell then bunted and was safe on Werber's high throw, filling the bases with none out. "Pinky" Higgins, the next batter, singled, scoring Greenburg and York. Catcher Sullivan walked, loading the bases again and Newsom forced Campbell at the plate.
Detroit's leadoff man, Dick Bartell, slammed a single to center field, bringing Higgins and Sulli- van across the plate. The fifth Tiger run scored on McCoskey's single. This ended Derringer's stay on the pitcher's mound, "Whitey" Moore coming in to replace him. Moore pitched brilliantly during the six and two-thirds innings he worked, striking out seven men.
Moore had only one bad inning, that the fifth. After he struck out Greenberg "Whitey" watched York (continued to page five)
Think Nazis May Drive In South
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press News Editor
Great Britain prepared to day against a possible new axis offensive in the Mediterranean area, with Nazis taking charge of German and Italian military operations.
While aerial attack and counterattack continued with terrible monotony in British and German territory, the Germans were reported by London military sources to have "taken de facto charge" of Italian operations and apparently to have moved troops in Italy. Suez Canal A New Objective
The North African front—where Fascist forces have been stalled for more than two weeks after invading Egypt—was believed to be the most likely point for any new operations, with the Suez canal as the objective. British sources also have reported the Axis powers attempting to gain greater control of French Syria, presumably for a double attack on Suez, but the French government at Vichy denied these reports.
Developments in the Mediterranean area, however, did not appear likely to divert either British (continued on page 5e)
Will Decide Time Change In December
A proposal to move the University class schedule from 8:30 o'clock to 8:10 o'clock in order that the lunch hour will coincide with that of the city schools was made by Prof. M.E.Rice at the first meeting of the University Senate meeting held yesterday.
The motion was seconded and made the first order of business at the next meeting in December.
Chancellor Malott spoke briefly on the importance of a re-appraisal of the entire curriculum of the University by departmental heads to ascertain whether or not education has kept up with economic and social developments. Dean Paul B. Lawson also emphasized the necessity of a re-evaluation of the curriculum.
Young G.O.P.,s Meet To Plan Ratner Reception
College Young Republicans will meet at 8:30 tonight in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building to reorganize after the summer months, Bill Douce, e'41, head of the organization, announced today.
The meeting is important, according to Douce, because plans will be discussed for the reception of Gov. Payne Ratner when he comes here late in October.

When Will K.U. Men Register?
James B. Hitt, assistant registrar,
said this afternoon that registration for University men under the selective service act would be held Oct.
16, instead of Oct. 15 as was announced yesterday by T. R. Gerrhart, county draft board member.
Hitt indicated that a relatively small number of registrants was expected at the University, and that the registrar's staff probably would be able to handle the signing of registration cards without additional volunteer student help.
The registrar's office, he said, volunteered its services a month ago for students affected by the draft law, and that he had not been notified if any change in original plans.
Carrying out the national scheme of registration, Hitt said that students of the ages 21 through 35 would register as they would for absentee ballots. As yet no plans have been made for registration places. He said that the enrollee would have to fill a simple form of personal information in duplicate, keep one form and
return the other for the files of the federal selective service commission. Hitt said that the registration machinery would be completed at least two weeks before registration date, so that every student concerned could be notified.
