- Cooperative Book Store Issue Up Again Monday; Must Pass Both Councils To Become Effective
First definite step toward low-cost books for students may be taken when the Men's Student Council reinforced by two newly-elected freshmen, meets tomorrow night.
At the last Council meeting two weeks ago, John Oakson, c'40, a Pacchacamac spokesman, proposed to place 15 cents from each activity fee in a fund to establish a cooperative bookstore here. Such a ruling would not make students pay a higher activity fee, Oakson said, but would merely redistribute the present sum to make room for the cooperative.
To accomplish the redistribution both the M.S.C. and the Women's Self Governing Association must pass the measure. The Council's bill will be before the body for the second tomorrow night; this time for action.
Since about 4,500 students pay two activity fees annually, the proposal would build up a $1,350 fund for the project in a year's time. There is also an activity fee surplus fund of $1,492.70, part of which could be used for the bookstore, Oakson pointed out.

Holiday Means Nothing to Medics, Laws. Engineers
University students can no longer sleep in peace, even on Armistice Day.
The Board of Regents overlooked the fact that yesterday was Armistice Day and a national holiday when they made up the University calendar. Consequently students taking work in the School of Law, the School of Medicine, the School of Pharmacy, the appointment classes turned out at their usual early morning hour to attend Saturday morning classes.
Campus Speaking Finals Tuesday
- Files Show Students Use Some General Topics Year after Year
Tryouts for the fifteenth Campus Problems Speaking contest prove repetition of thought, idea and personal prejudices among K.U. students from year to year. Finals for this year's contest will be 8 a.m. Tuesday in Fraser hall.
Files kept on past contests show that a freshman in the College won the first prize of the contest held. In this year, 1925, Sewell Woran captured the judges' unanimous approval and the silver cup with the subject, "As Seen Through Wide Eyes."
The following year, 1926. Constance Nuckles, sister of Rolla Nuckles, row an instructor in the department of speech and dramatic art, won the cup with, "Forensics at K.U."
Bangs Wins in 1933
In the several years this contest has been held only one other woman has taken first prize. Dorothy Bangs, c'63, received the honor on her speech, "Orientation Courses in Our Curriculum," in 1933.
Two students took first in the context two consecutive years Robert Thorpe, c'37, won in 1934 and 1935 on the topics, "Physical Training," and "The Need for Semi-Organized Houses at K.U."
Donald Voorhees, c38, subjects,
"Platforms and Platitudes," which concerned the present student government, and "Sixteen Cylinder Mythology," gave him the cup in 1936-37.
Two Sides in the Desk
Last year, "Two Sides of the Desk," won the prize for Emmet Park, b'41.
The silver cup, presented to the winner of each contest by the department of speech at the University, will go to one of the following students: Russell Baker, c;42 Gladys Huber, c;41 Irving Kuraner, c;40 Mary McAnaw, c;42 Richard Lovett, c;41 Robert Nelson, c;42 Katherine Merry, c;41 Robert Nelson, c;41 David Rice, c;41 or Karyl Rupitten, '141
'Two Sides of the Desk'
These students will compete in the finals Tuesday. Their subjects include discussions on advantages of organized houses, campus politics, activity tickets, student finances at KU, and the great problem faced by all graduates, trying to find a job.
Among the topics to be heard in the finals are those which have been popular in the speeches for several years. Two of these concern activity tickets and campus politics.
After Nebraska kicked off t
The second quarter saw a new Nebraska team. Rohrig, squat fast fullback went into the Cornhusker backfield and proceeded to head a goal-ward drive that ended with the fullback smashing over the line on a cut-back over tackle. Rohrig did his own honors by place-bicing a bulls-eye making the count Nebraska 7 and Kansas 0.

Nebraska smashed the ball to the Jachawk 12-yard line after five plays. Rohrig, the scourge of the afternoon, was chased back to the Kansas 24 on a fake pass where Kansas took the bill. The half ended with Bunsen plunging into the line for a four-yard gain.
The third period was played mainly in dayhawker territory. Hopp's punt early in the period kept Kunzebank in an upbeat goal.

Crowds were noisy and excited. Hundreds milled through hotel lobbies. The lobby of the Corbuskhan hotel was the scene of almost constant dancing. Nebraksan, conflicted with last night, are ill-taught tonight.

The quarter ended after Sulliyan's delayed buck took the ball to the 33. The score still remained Kanas 0, Nebraska 7.
The last quarter saw a never-say-die Dajhay team taking to the air in the last few minutes of play in a desperate effort to even up the score. With 45 seconds left to play Nebraska took time-out. On resumption of play Miller, back into the game for Kansas, hurled a long pass from the 38 to Amerione in the 18. Kansas called time out with five seconds remaining to play. The next pass from Miller was incomplete as only one second was left in the game. Miller threw an incomplete

Cornhuskers practice a slightly different method in carrying out parties and dancing. Dancing is slower. There is little jitterbugging. No cutting is sanctioned at house parties. Nebraska escorts take their dates from one house to all other houses.
Good breaks and a rejuvenated Kansas line that played heads-up football all afternoon combined to make the game a thriller. In the second play of the game Nebraska fumbled on the 44-yard line with Kansas recovering. Kansas advanced the ball to the 29-yard stripe whereupon Ralph Miller was sent in for Sullivant.

Red Cross Drive Beqins Tomorrow
★ Bert Nash To Collect from Independents, Nelson from Organized Houses
The K.U. Red Cross Drive will go into full swing tomorrow morning, when all University faculty members and employees will be contacted by members of the roll call committee and by special letter from Prof. E.C. Buchler, chairman of the drive sometime during the day.
Bert A. Nash, professor of education, will be in charge of contributions from all unorganized students and H. J. Nelson, associate dean of the College, will be head of donations from all organized houses.
Red Cross headquarters will be in Prof. Buchler's office, room 6, Green hall.
Quota Raised
Pointing out that the quota of the local Red Cross chapter has been raised from $4,855.54 to $5,750 this year, Buchler said. "The committee urges fullest cooperation of all faculty members and employees to make the K.U. Red Cross Roll Call a success."
The same general plan as used last year for carrying out the drive will be followed this year. The main feature of the drive is to keep the nuisance and inconvenience of perforated door campaigning at a minimum.
Complete cooperation from the faculty members and employees will make personal cavity unreachable. Baldwin said.
Jay Janes Cooperate
The Jay James, women's pp organization of the University, are cooperating in the drive by maintaining stands for student contributions in Frank Strong and Fraser halls two days of the campaign.
Some of the services rendered by the Red Cross are: health inspection of school children by Red Cross nurses; free immunization clinics held once a year at 10 points in the county; child welfare committees to give medical aid to the children whose parents are financially unable to give it to them; and many safety services.
John Stutz, Roll Call Chairman
John G. Stutz, county Roll Call chairman said. "The acceptance of individual as well as collective responsibility toward fellow citizens who are in need is a distinguishing mark of our civilization. The American Red Cross is designed and organized to assist the private citizens in discharging that responsibility."
Other committee members of the local Red Cross drive are: Mrs. C. B. Holmes, publicity chairman; John Stutz, county chairman; and Mrs. Fred R. Isaacs, chairman of the Douglas County chapter.
Hamlet To Be Second Radio Play of Year
