Palomar last week. Yesterday Littoyo received a telegram informing him that the original music scores could be copied in time for the Frolic Oct. 20.
Tickets will go on sale at the Memorial Union building, Bell's music store, and the College business office this morning. Littoy said. Because of the expected large demand for tickets a limit will be placed upon the number sold. Littoy urged students to get their tickets early to avoid the complications that existed last year when Kay Kyser played for the Senior Cakewalk. Floor space in the union ballroom is the same as that in Hoch auditorium the dance manager said.

"There will be no date on dates at the dance, but there will be a strict limit of 200 tickets to stags," said Leo Johnstone, e4, chairman of the Student Union Activities Department. The number of stages, begun last week, was to prevent the floor from being overcrowded, Johnstone said.

Richard MacCam, c'40, a non-smoker and editor of the Jawhawk—I think the question may resolve itself in time. Especially in the cold
A miniature poll of student opinion yesterday upon the ban on smoking in University buildings proposed to the Men's Student Council brought a flood of criticism that ranged from curt displeasure with the bill to proposals of compromise upon the measure.

Many were leached to be quoted but
the following had this to say:

Kirby Page Offers 3-Fold Peace Plan
- Only Small Crowd Hears Author's Lecture Lost Night at Fraser Theater As He Outlines Proposal
Author Kirby Page's challenging program for keeping the United States out of war was heard in Fraser theater last night by only a handful of University students, who listened to Page's three-fold desideratum on the course that America might follow.
"If we want to follow the first plan, we sell unlimited amounts of supplies to England and France without thought of cash or security; if we want to crush Hitler, let's put our military machine in operation; but if we want to keep clear of the war, let's get busy and do some work."
Said Page: "We can help Britain and France win the war. We can crush Hitler Or we can keep the world safe against war." Outlines Basics of Proposals
(2) Helping our neighbors and friends think clearly on what type of a war this is and pointing out that this is not a war between civilization and barbarism, but rather a war between an aggressor on one side and an oppressor on the other. Page emphasized the fact that "The war was caused by Hitter, but the allies caused Hitler."
The three-fold plan as laid out by Page consisted of: (1) writing letters to the President, senators, and congressmen urging them to keep the arms embargo and strengthen this law by putting limits on other commodities and using the cash and carry basis.
(5) Helping other people to think clearly on the consequences of a war that the United States would enter. America's entering the war would pile a debt on our country so high that it would result in our economic destruction. The war would result in the loss of 10 million men. It would also corrupt our religious system. Suggests Writing to Washington
Besides just writing letters ourselves, Page pointed out to the audience that they should each enlist a person every day for two weeks also to write letters to their representatives in Washington.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Page made another address to a group in Fraser theater, in which he pointed out that democracy, as it now exists, will be doomed if the United States enters the war.
"It is altogether possible," the speaker stated, "that if we stagger into a war we will never again enjoy democracy as we now experience it. War would mean the setting up of a war-time dictatorship in an oppressed country, every citizen of our country. Not only would this be the case during the war, but the emergency caused by the economic and social upheaval afterwards would require that wartime dictatorship continue."
The paper carried a picture of Doctor Coghill and an article describing his research work. He received his M.A. degree at the University and joined the teaching team in 2015 and is engaged with Doctor Coghill now is Engaged at Peoria where he is seeking to convert farm surpluses into valuable chemicals.
Recognition as a leader in the quest for cheap and practicable products manufactured from cereal grain and agricultural wastes was initiated by Coghill, holder of two university degrees, by the Peoria, Ill. Star,
Grad a Leader in Research
Wilson Says Council Favors Passage of Act
- No Action Taken at Meeting Last Night; Vote To Be Delayed for Two Weeks
A measure to remove the right to dance passes to W.S.G.A. members was brought into the W.S.G.A. council meeting last night. Indicators are strong that the bill will be denied, when it comes to a vote Oct. 24.
Women Split On Ban; To Kill Dance Passes
"I feel safe in saying," said Velm Wilson, c40, president of the W.S.G.A., after the meeting last night. The group will favor the dance pass bill."
Because of a constitutional ruling that action cannot be taken upon a bill until two weeks after its introduction, the W.S.G.A. was unable to bring the dance pass bill to a vote last night.
The dance pass bill as it stands at present in the W.S.G.A. is as follows:
Be it enacted by the W.S.G.A. of the University of Kansas;
Section II: That all members elected before March 9, 1939, shall be allowed to retain life-time passes. Members elected on March 9, 1939 and after that time shall be subject to this bill.
Section L. That all members of the W.G.S.A. executive council shall have passes to all University var. duties held during their term of office.
Section III. That this bill shall be in full force and effect from and after its publication according to the constitution.
Faculty Publishes 700 Books, Articles
Seven hundred books and articles, by 145 University faculty members were published between January, 1937, and December, 1938, according to a pumphlet recently issued by the graduate research committee.
The pamphlet lists material published in 30 fields of learning, and 23 faculty members who served as editors or staff members of publications related to their respective fields of teaching.
Three of the books in the list which attracted national interest were: "The Horse and Buggy Doctor" by Dr. A. E. Hertzler; "Better Basketball" by Dr. Forrest Allen and Danielle Amesi; "America" by Robert Seltentrue;

Hitler Repeats Desire for Peace
★ Fuehrer Promises, How ever, Strong Action if Allies Refuse Offer
Berlin, Oct. 10 - (UP) - Fucher Adolf Hitler retreated his desire for peace today but accompanied it with a threat that rejection would find the allies facing a united Germany ready for unprecedented war and demand "the place in the world that is our due."
the declared that "no terror of the moment or forecast as to the length of the war will frighten us."
In an address opening the winter relief campaign and timed to precede by a few hours the speech of Premier Edouard Daladier of France in the first allied reply to German peace proposals, Hitler declared:
"No power on earth can force Germany to her knees. War must forge the German people more and more together. Let no one think of his own sacrifice but of the greatness of the sacrifice of the whole.
"We will show the world we intend to see as we see fit and will be able to demand the place in the world that is our due."
Urging that sucessors of the German people would insure victory, the Chancellor declared that Germany would be attacked by military or economic power."
"Nor," he added, "will they wear us down psychologically."
Bob O'Neil Confined In Hospital
Kuraner, c' 40, headed the committee and delivered the following report at the council meeting Monday night:
Bob O'Neil, c42, sophomore end, was admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital yesterday for treatment of a knee injury. The attending physician said O'Neil probably would be送到 the hospital for several days.
Phi Delta Kappa Elects Officers
Phi Dr. Kappa, honorary educational fraternity, held its annual election Monday at Oread High School. The following officers were elected: R. W. Browning, president; C. H. Brown, gt. vice-president; J. S. Crawford, gt. secretary-treasurer; and Prof. J. W. Twentz, sponsor.
Committee Scorns Limit On Campaign Funds
"Before and after the regular spring election last year The University Daily Kansan, casting about for an issue to exploit, hit upon the expenditures for their elections by political candidates and political parties. In consideration of the
Editor's Note: Hill elections last spring saw excessive expenditures by candidates and political offices. Fearing that virtual purchase of political positions might be in store for next year, Kansas suggested editorially that campaign expenditures must be submitted to submittees and perhaps future limitation. In response, the M.S.C. created a comma after each recommendation to make recommendations. Irving
Kansan's editors, President C.H. Mullen appointed a committee to investigate the matter. In a meeting committee came to these conclusions.
those who can afford to spend the those. Furthermore, parties could sell the offices at their disposal to the highest bidder.
"The problem of money in elections is vital. Obviously if the success of a candidate depends on the amount of money he is able to spend, government soon degenerates into government by the rich—
"Here at K.U. the problem is a a minimum. Excessive amounts of money are not spent on elections That this is so can be by far the larger number of men on this council are not in the upper student income groups.
(Continued on page three)
That some money is necessary to run an election is undeniable, and its expenditure should be and is looked upon as a matter of course. Outside of the columns of the Kansan, the committee could find no body of opinion that felt at all deeply about the size of party funds. The M.S.C. has at its disposal no offices that are worth selling and
W.S.G.A. Council Divided on Bill To Curb Smoking
- Ruling Prevents Group From Voting on Measure Until Oct. 24; Outcome Is Unpredictable
Outcome of the measure remains in question because of conflicting attitudes within the group.
Highlights in the bill propose that its acceptance would lessen the fire hazard and improve the appearance of and good will toward the University and that smoking would be prohibited in all buildings on the Campus except the Memorial Union building.
A divided opinion met the bill to can smoking on the Campus when it was introduced before the W.S. G.A. council last night. Final action will not come until Oct. 24, because of a ruling which prevents vote on the measure until two weeks after its introduction.
The bill also provides for a W.S.G.A. disciplinary committee, responsible to the W.S.G.A. and the Chancellor, which shall punish any violations as it sees fit.
Some in Favor
Those who favored the bill as it stands, affirmed that the University buildings look messy because of the cigarette butts that are strenuous over the halls and that passage of the bill would improve the looks immersely. In addition, passage of the bill would require a service as a highly needed fire-preventer to "fire-trap" buildings on the Campus.
Others, however, felt that it will be no easy matter to pass the bill because of student opinion.
One member said that if the students must step outside to smoke, the crowds that would gang up outside of several buildings would look even more terrifying than to see the cigarette smiles piled up in the halls. **Roots of Bill**
Other important business transac- tated at the meeting included the approvals of $15 for Mortar Board, honorary scholastic society; $3 to the Jayhawk Nibble; and 3 1-2 per cent of the yearly W.S.G.A. income to be granted to the University band for trips this year.
One of the roots of this present "smoker's ban" bill runs back to the opening of the new Hutchinson Junior College at which a student pleaded in his speech "to try to keep the new college campus looking neat and not too aggressive with cigarette butts like the campus of an Eastern Kansas University."
And with him will come Madame Arkle, dealer in Salem-school witchcraft, to soothsay for spook-dodging dances in the Memorial Union ball room.
Independent Council Laughs at Spooks, Plans Ghost Party
The occasion for this pixie convention is the Independent dance this Friday the Thirteenth. And choosing that luck-forsaken day is only the first on the list of 1.S.A. unorthodoxies. To the layman Halloween is Oct 31. But to President Obama it is Independents a scheduled holiday is a trifle. So the 1.S.A. is having a Halloween dance on Oct. 13.
The little man who wasn't there will be there Friday night.
Convention will suffer again when the Independent dancers hear the music of two different bands in one evening. Both Clyde Siple and Dale Turner turn on the premium, one playing before intermission, the other after.
But only the hardy will hear music Friday night. The usual entrance to the ball room will be barre and would-be dancers must run the guillett of an I.T.A. fun house where they are admitted to the dance.
Except that dancers will not be masked, the varies will have all the effects of a Halloween party, with horns, whistles, and serpentine.
