Doubt on Peace Move With K-State
"Not Peace But the Sword," or rather a small dagger, was thrust into peace negotiations between the two governing councils of Kansas State and the University of Kansas as a letter from the Manhattan group was read last night in the meeting of the Men's Student Council.
In announcing the choice of an emblem to be used as a reward to the victorious team in future football games between the two schools, a letter from the Aggie student council evoked much comment at the point where it referred to "these two great? universities" and at another point where it was stated that any ceremony concerning the emblem at the K.U.-K.-State game must be limited to five minutes because of the fact that they want to present their Homecoming Queen at that time.
K.U. Gets A Chance
The thesis of the epistle was to offer students at the University of Kansas a chance to see the emblem by sending it to the M.S.C. for display. The emblem is to go to the winning team. M.S.C. members did

M. S.C. Seeks Frolic Passes
Old Feud Renewed
By Jim Surface, c'42
The smouldering coals of an old fire burst again into flame at the M.S.C. meeting last night in the Pine room of the Union building when near the close of an uneventful session Dave Whitney, c'42, suggested possible action by the group to obtain passes to the Freshman Frolic.
Referring to section 7 of bill number 14 of the constitution which says, "that student council passes shall be honored at all combined parties," Whitney urged the Council either to demand the passes from the dance manager, now Fred Littooy, l'41, or else amend the constitution on that point.
A Refund
Russel Mosser, gr., pointed out that the contract signed by Littooy with Tommy Dorsey for the Freshman Frolic specifically forbade the issuance of passes. In this light Whitney sought an arrangement whereby student council members would be refunded the price of the ticket on appearing at the business office after the dance.
In the midst of the discussion Dave Oberlin, e'42, queried: Who Runs Who
Who Runs Who
"The point is,are we running the dance manager, or is he running us?" This provoked a unanimous musing, and the question was dropped until the report of the dance committee.
John Bremyer, c'41, nominated Sunday night by the P.S.G.L. senate to fill the place left vacant by Don Ebling, '40, was sworn in along with George Nafe, e'41, Pachacamac choice to take George Rippey's vacancy.
The legality of the move has been questioned because of the fact that the constitution provides that all petitions for filling vacancies shall, like all other petitions, be handed in at least seven days before action can be taken.
A Temporary Budget
In routine business, a letter of thanks was voted to Miss Hermina Zipple, manager of the Memorial Union building, in appreciation for the banquet she provided for the combined meeting of the W.S.G.A. and the M.S.C. Last year's committee appointments were read again and the cheer leaders for this year were announced.
The next order of business was the temporary budget, of which the appropriations for housing, and the one for the Student Directory were approved. The remaining budget items will be referred for further consideration.
Soviets, Japanese May Settle Dispute
Squad of 12 Yell-Leaders To Inspire K.U. Fans
If Kansas fans don't yell with gusto this year it won't be for the lack of inspiration or leadership. Yesterday atftmro a squad of 12 cheerleaders was chosen, the largest in the school's history.
Bob Wright, b'41, will lead the group consisting of four women and eight men. Four leaders, Billie Doris Jarboe, b'42, Mary Thompson, c'42, Roy Edwards, c'42, and Hal Ruppenthal, c'42 will be at all games, and the rest will alternate.
Moscow, Oct. 1—(UP)—An attempt to improve relations between Soviet Russia and Japan was expected today as the press emphasized Nazi statements of friendship between Berlin and Moscow and asserted that the United States "actually is in full association" with Great Britain's war effort.
The others chosen are Althea Shuss, c'44, Mary Ellen Brown, c'44, Anna Jane Hoffman, b'42, Cannon Cain, c'44, Jim Wahl, c'44, Bob Knox, c'43, and Joe Lindsey, c'44. Roy Edwards will head the junior group.
The Soviets, it was emphasized by the government Izvestia, firmly intend to remain neutral in the war insofar as the course depends on Moscow. But the newspaper declared that "the United States role (continued on page five)

Memorial For Lindley On Oct.13
The University will pay its official tribute to the memory of the late Chancellor-Emeritus Ernest Hiram Lindley at 4 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, Oct. 13.
The memorial services, which will be held in Hoch auditorium, also will be broadcast by KFKU for the benefit of many friends of the late Chancellor in the Middlewestern area who will be unable to attend.
Principal speakers for the services will be Henry J. Allen, governor of Kansas when Dr. Lindley came to the University 20 years ago; William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, and Roy A. Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, both personal friends of the former Chancellor and alumni of the University; Dean E. B. Stouffer of the faculty, and Fred M. Harris, chairman of the Board of Regents and former board member during Chancellor Lindley's 19-year administration.
The University a capella choir, directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts will sing, and Professor Charles S. Skilton will provide organ music before and after the service. Chancellor Deane W.

Jump Gun on Draft Regulations
Registration of University student "enrollees" under the Selective Service Act will jump the gun one day, T. R. Gerhart, draft board member, said today.
The "R" day for the nation is Oct. 18, one month after the signing of the draft law; but registration for Douglas county will be Oct. 15. University students will
Nationally circulated figures concerning the number of men to be called in the first draft have given many University men a false sense of immunity. The one-hundredth-of-one-per cent liable for military service applies to the nation as a whole, but it would be possible for
25 per cent or more of the male students on the campus to be called. All men on he campus, students and faculty members, between the ages 21 and 35 must register. And all are subject to call.
Although University and college students are granted exemption from training until next July, they may expect to be liable to call at
that time. Peititions for deference of service will be handled by he applicant's home draft board.
Registration of draftees will be handled in the same manner as voting. Draft boards in each county will handle details of the system, but the actual selection of draftees will be carried out in Washington. Baker University students will register under their registrar in a
set-up similar to that to be used here. The Haskell Institute enrollment will be similar, but facilitated by the fact that the institution already is under federal supervision by the War department.
The Douglas County draft board is composed of T. R. Gerhart, county clerk; Dr. F. H. Bell, Baldwin, and Bruce Cameron of Lawrence.
