Set Minimum Quota for Air Training Here
With only 76 students having applied to enroll for Kansas University's aeronautical training, no maximum quota was set by the Civil Aeronautical Authority; it was announced by Prof. Earl D. Hay of the department of mechanical engineering, yesterday afternoon. Only a minimum number of 50 was applied to the University.
The Extension Division has announced that it is also offering a similar aeronautical course by correspondence. The course consists of two components in the work that may be required in an application for a pilot's license.
Professor Hay said that the other 10 schools in the state had so great a number of applications that they all have set maximum totals. The University's school does not interest students enough to warrant this.
basket training will be taught in two sections. Each student will be given one and one-half hours of flying time a week, which gives the student some 50 or 60 hours in the air during the training.
Classes in this course will begin about Oct. 1. The ground
Students of the School of Engineering are allowed the credit of two to three hours as a technical option; or five hours credit as a non-technical option. A fee of $2 is required of each student in order to cover the expense of a physical examination, textbooks, and insurance.
This course is given on an 18- week schedule of two two-hour sessions a week. This is the same groundwork training which requires 72 hours that is taken in the campus course. The extension course may be any student in a school that offers this other aerospace training.
Three companies have applied for the contract of the air training. Included in this group is the Ashcraft Brothers School of Lawrence which had the contract for the training last year.
The subjects included in the extension course are: history of aviation, civil air regulation, navigation meteorology, and parachutes.

Twenty uniformed and fully equipped football teams will take the field Oct. 3 to begin the new Independent Student Association intramural season, Dave Whitney, c42 general manager of the organization, said yesterday.
Student areas of Lawrence have been divided into 10 districts, Whitney said, and each is expected to contain from 100 to 125 Association members. Every district, if independent plans are carried out, will enter a 6-man team and an 11-man team in the coming football contests.
Each team will wear a different uniform. These uniforms, along with standard athletic equipment, will be furnished by the central council of the LSA, at no added expense to members.
District boundary lines were decided according to the population

Visual Bureau Receives 250,000 Feet of Film
- University Is Named To Distribute Large Deposit For Area West of Chicago Doubling Supply
The University bureau of visual education today was designated as distributing headquarters for the Modern Art Film library for all territory west of Chicago. An initial shipment of 250,000 feet of an eventual deposit of nearly one million feet of film has been received by the bureau, Fred S. Montgomery, secretary, announced.
The new deposit will more than double the bureau's rental loan supply, and will make it one of the biggest international film in the United States.
The first shipment of the new supply came Monday, following a conference several weeks ago of University officials with John E. Oblot, director of the Museum of Modern Art Film library of New York.
The Kanas film bureau already has about 800,000 file of film which it sends out each year to high school and other educational agencies, but the new connection with the Modern Art Film library will make this service one of the most complete in the United States.
Send to Schools
The New York film library was founded in 1935 with the aid of a Rockefeller Foundation grant. Educators, who for some time have realized that a study of economics, sociology, history, and science can be made vivid through the use of movies, have welcomed the service of the library. Detailed study of American and foreign life can be made as far back as 1805 when the first movie was projected on a screen for public entertainment. Six Series Ready
Six complete series of film programs are available, providing a review of the history, the technical and aesthetic development of the motion picture in the United States and three foreign countries. Each program in the series lists about 40 films by directors or note of explanation and information.
A short history of the animata cartoon also is included. Adults as well as children will enjoy seeing again the paintings from the magic-lantern era, first produced in 1879; the "Drame Chez les Fantoche" by Enle Cohl, the second of the pioneer French cartoons, produced in 1907; "Gertie the Dinosaur" by Winsor McCay, one of the earliest American animations, 1909; and "Mut and Jeff" by Bud Fisher, one of the first cartoon series, produced in 1918.
Walt Disney's production of the "The Four Musicians of Bremen" was produced in 1922 and marks his entrance into the cartoon field. Four more Disney productions are included to show his progress in the cartoon field up to the present time.

The freshman caps tradition, many years old, is dying this fall at the University where it has been active in the past. For sometime the tradition had been inflicted with a disease called "depression," but not until recently its serious condition been realized.

Professor Earl D. Hay announced yesterday a new minimum of 50 student pilots to the enrolled in university Air School this year.
Not long ago, each year the campus budded with hundreds of simple-looking young men gadding aimlessly about with blue and crimson capes perched rakishly on their heads. These young scalywags were called red ribbons in the wind. These little hats with pretty crimson and blue ribbons streaming in the wind. 8-

Death of Old 'Freshman Cap' Tradition Seems Imminent
Cosmopolitan Club To Meet Friday for First Party
The Cosmopolitan Club will hold its first meeting of the year in the form of an informal party Friday night, Sept. 29, at the parish house Episcopal Church. All the University students are invited to attend.
Any student may be a member of the Cosmopolitan Club, the purpose of which is to encourage a feeling of friendship between students of the various races and nationalities and to promote freedom of thought and expression among the students.
Those ribbons hooked beneath the button, and when some K-man said "button," the freshman cursled and placed his forefinger on the button. Some students say those were great days while others claim the hazing was unnecessary. Those who were for the caps based their arguments on the idea of school tradition. Those opposed said such practices

size the freshman and bewildered and isolated them even more than ordinary matriculation procedure.
Freshmen said they didn't want to be dominated by the upperclassman or any small group of "enforcers." All compulsion regarding caps is
goal! The Freshman cross is left, to itself to either carry on or kill the cap tradition. The KCuboid sold the sales touched a new low. Only a few of the bombs may be seen on the Hill.
Apparently the class of 1943 is striking a critical blow at the traditional freshman cap. Perhaps the freshman feel that they don't need a specially built cap to distinguish 'hemselves.
Students Poll Slight Lead For Embargo
- Sentiment Still Strongly Supports 'Peace Unless Attacked' Proposal in Kansan Survey
By Harry Hill. c'40
Eager willingness to record, opinions on issues that possibly involve their lives was manifested by University students yesterday as the second day of The Daily Kansan's neutrality poll swelled the total vote to nearly 2,000.
Distribution to fraternity and sorority houses was completed Monday night and the incoming Greek ballots were checked yesterday while classrooms again were canvassed.
Peace Sentiment Predominant
Peace continued to be the popular sentiment, with more than 75 per cent of the voters favoring no American fighting unless this country is attacked. The results of the poll last night:
I favor keeping America out of war unless attacked 1,507.
I favor going to war if the demographies are threatened defeat 324.
I favor retaining the existing neutrality laws which prohibit the sale of airplanes and munitions to all nations at war. 879
I favor changing the laws to permit selling munitions and supplies to all combatants who will pay cash for them and carry them away in their own ships ... 871.
Majority Favor Embarzo
Major surprise of the poll developed in the unexpected lead of supporters of an embargo policy over those who favor selling for cash. The campus survey, part of a mid-1970 poll being conducted by Kansas State University, first instance of a major opinion against cash and carry.
Even though the count was virtually even on the opposing proposals, the slight margin of the embrogar wings was seen as a significant decision. There was no apparent reason for it unless the remark of a law school student expresses a general view:
"What do they mean by cash? Do they expect foreign nations to pay in dollars and cents or is short term credit intended?"
Tabulation of the ballots will be completed by Kansan staff members today. The ballot will appear in the Kansan today for the last time. When the final count is finished, results will be forwarded to the Kansas City State along with the votes to elect a president. Include the University poll in its general survey, sending the ballots to congressmen in Washington.
Fee Payment Lags Behind; Deadline Is Thursday
Because registration records have been broken this year, indications at the business office are that the final rush for the payment of fees will be more than can be handled, Karl Klozus, bursar, said yesterday.
Payments at noon Monday were 235 behind those for the same period last year
Deadline for payment is 5 p.m.
Thursday. A penalty of 50 cents a day is added each day after the deadline.
Enrollment of students who fail to pay their fees by next Wednesday will be canceled.
Dr. J. S. Alford, '06 Dies in Los Angeles
Dr. Joseph Savage Alford, 96, died Saturday in Los Angeles. While a student at the University, Dr. Alford was captain of the basketball team. He won letters in basketball and football.
During the World War he served as captain. Previous to that he was with the Kansas National Guard on the Mexican border.
W.S.G.A.Seconds Men's Action On Dance Privilege
With the action that the M.S.C. has already taken, coupled with the sentiment prevailed at the W.S.G.A. initial meeting last night, dark clouds appeared to be gathering over Council dance pass privileges.
"Although we did not take official action on the dance pass matter last night, sentiment is strongly in favor of invalidating him." was the comment made.
by Velma Wilson, c40, president of the W.S.G.A.
The two Council factions harmonized on the issue although they did not hold a joint-meeting to discuss it.
The dance pass bill as it now stands in the Council allows members to retain their passes while in school. Present members, however, and those to follow will enjoy these negatives only while actually serving.
As pointed out at the W.S.G.A. meeting, the dance pass issue has reached the lime-light in an effort to put varsity舞 and class parties "more paying bases" by eliminating free tickets to Council members
A bill was introduced at the first meeting of the Men's Student Council last Monday night that would do away with the dance pass tickets. A bill to be made by the Men's Student Council until its next regular meeting.
The present investigating committee serving the W.S.G.A. is composed of Jean Robertan, c41; Betyl Cebey, c40; Mary Garrison, c40.
The members of W.S.G.A. are to hostas at a tea for some 200 university women in the Women's Club on Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock.
General feeling prevailed to hold the W.S.G.A. freshman election sometime before the Freshman Frolic, Oct. 19.
