The committee proposed last night to allow Council members to retain their privilege of attending varsity dances and to prohibit all "legislative" passes for all class parties. Oakson then moved to send the dance back to the committee for revision. His motion carried without dissent.

Nazi Peace Hope Seems Doomed Rome, Oct. 9—(UP)—The Fasciis admired today that Adolph filler's peace proposals seem doomed to collapse unless the Fuehrer's 'attitude changes radically.' ★ U.S. Refusal to Consider Mediation Offer Urges British Action Hitler's formula for peace, it was said, is breaking up on the rocks of a British determination to fight the war to a finish unless Germany loses "imperialism" which logic and experience she certainly will not make." Britain's stubborn defiance to Hitler's overtures, according to the newspaper La Tribuna, has been encouraged by the fact that "not even the government of the United States decided to take official notice of Berlin's suggestion that America act as mediator in reconciliation."

All the instruments of Barnet's band were destroyed in the fire that burned the Palomar, California dance police, last week. In a telegram received by Lattoo last Friday, Barnet's agents said that the Maestro would be unable to fill his engagement here Oct. 20. The舞manager later received a letter stating he was acquiring the band's loss in time for the big class party exited. Littoy expects definite word today from Barnet as to whether he will be able to play for the party. If he is unable to be here, another big "name" band is ready to be signed, the dance manager said. Regardless of who plays, tickets for the Frolic will go on sale Wednesday morning in the Memorial Union building, Bell's Music store, and the College Business office, Littoy anounced. Tickets were scheduled to go on sale Saturday night during the Iowa State Varsity but, because of the indecision, Littcoy decided to wait until Wednesday. He has declined to announce the name of the band that may take Earnet's place but gave assurances that it was as good as Barnet and played over the NBC network nightly. The mystery will be solved Wednesday morning when The Daily Kansas will announce the name of the band selected by Littoy.

For Ineligibility Eligibility rules last night barre, M.S.C. doors to three former members but the vacancies were immediately filled by political parties involved. In the past when vacancies occurred the depleted Council met and voted in new members. An incligibility was the signal for weeks of political bickering. The party suffering most from scholastic requirements was doomed to a year of impotence because, in reduced strength, it could not put party men in the vacancies. Louis Thompson, c'41, was the Pacachamac representative declared ineligible. He was replaced by Walt Meiniger, c'40. Scholastic delinquency ruled off two P.S.G.L. counselmen, Meier, and Meir, c'40. Rowland Rupak, c'41, and Russel Moor, gr. filled these vacancies. When there is a vacancy now, however, it is filled by the party which the incumbent may represent. This involves no change in the Council's voting balance which remained evenly split between Pachchai Vishnu and PSU, with 10 questions from each party dividing on questions; it still will be up to President C. H. Mullen to cast the deciding vote. W.S.G.A. Move On Dance Passes ★ Council Members Indicate Final Action Will Be Taken Tonight At tonight's meeting, W.S.G.A. will take a final stand on the proposed dance pass bill. The bill has been the subject of discussion in both W.S.G.A. and M.S.C. since the opening of school. Its proposed purpose is to limit free passes and put dances on a "paying basis." Action by W.S.G.A. has been delayed because of postponement of last week's meeting. No definite feeling has been expressed by members but it is expected W.S.G.A. will approve the bill. It is expected that a bill, similar to the one introduced last night by the M.S.C., will also be proposed at tonight's meeting. This bill would stop smoking in all Campus buildings, except the Memorial Union building Personal Relations Group To Have Dinner Tonight The Personal Relations group of the YWCA, and the YMCA, will hold a dinner tonight at Henley house. Doris Twere, c'42, and Ed Price, c'42 will be in charge of the dinner.

At a meeting last month the SJR representatives in the various organized houses had reported. Bill in Council Would Prohibit It in Buildings ★ Violation Could Be Punished by Trial Before Student Court; Measure Is Revolutionary Roscoe Born, c'41 A revolutionary measure prohibiting smoking in Campus buildings was introduced last night at the meeting of the Men's Student Council. The bill would affect student smokers only, making it necessary for them to step outside of all structures with the exception of the Memorial Union building to smoke. The measure it was said, has the support of Chancellor Malet who has been displeased with the disreputable appearance of buildings littered with cigarette stubs. According to C. H. Mullen, I42, president of the Council, the University of Kansas is the only state school in Kansas that permits smoking on the campus. This, Mullen said, has gained for the University a bad reputation throughout the state. The bill, if passed on its second reading in the Council, will become a law affecting the habits of all men students. Any student breaking the smoking law would be brought before the Student Supreme Court for trial. Penalty for the infraction could range from an official reprimand, loss of credit hours, to expulsion from school. Mullen, who had a guiding hand in framing the bill, expressed a desire for student opinion upon the measure, saying he believes that it vitally affects student interest in the University and in student government.
