Students Say 'Keep U.S. OUT'
M.S.C. Plans War On Dance Passes In First Meeting
By Roscoe Born, c'41
In a move designed to put variety dances and class parties on a paying basis, a bill was introduced in the initial M.S.C. meeting last night to invalidate Council dance passes when their holders retire from office.
now in the Council will allow former Council members to retain their passes while in school. Present members, however, and those to follow will enjoy these privileges only while actually serving.
The move came in response to pressure last year from the Daily Kansan and popular student opinion to eliminate the large free attendance at dances which virtually prevented financially successful dances. The bill
A decision on this bill will be made at the next council meeting.
Recent resignation of Edward Sheley, Pachacamac representative from District Three, which left Pachacamac in a 9-10 voting minority, was recognized and his position filled early in last night's meeting. There was some speculation that election laws would defer the appointment until regular spring elections; had this ruling beenspring elections; had Majority would have been even more secure. Professor Maddox of, or part of, the University however ruled that the position would be filled by the Rising Sun party. Robert Wilkins, e40, was appointed and sworn in.
A motion was introduced by David Whitney, c'41, to appropriate $212.50 for the Independent Student Association in response to a petition from that organization. The motion was defeated by an 11 to 9 vote, all Pachacamac members voting in favor of the motion. In 141, P.S.G.L. opposed the motion because of the uncertainty at present of the Council's budget.
A second motion to grant the IS. A $15 fund was immediately carried, with a promise for further help and support that not get funds from other sources.
President C. H. Mullen, 142, appointed four new committees in keeping with four promises made by P.S.G.L. last spring. The new appointments included committees to investigate the scattered class conditions of the School of Business. A similar committee to investigate financial straits of the Engineering Exposition was created. Irving Kurman, c40, was made head of a faculty of engineering, a possibility of founding a bookstore at the University. Mullen also created a committee to investigate appointments of managers for intramural teams.

Freshman Folic
Won't Be In Hoch
Says Fred Littloy
Hope that the Freshman Frolic on Oct. 20 might be held in Hoch auditorium dwindled last night when Fred Littoso, 141, varsity dance manager, announced that his efforts to obtain the auditorium floor had been unsuccessful.
was uttered by Charles McCreight, executive in the Business Office, who declared that the auditorium had been used for the motion picture last spring and the understanding that only one dance each year would be held in the auditorium.
Official "no" to his proposition
McCreight pointed out, however, that the floor space in the Memorial Union building and the medium was approximately the same.
Ticket sales for the Frolic at which Charlie Barnet, "King of the Saxophone" is to play—will open Oct. 7 at the Iowa State Varjey. Littoy said. Advance price will be $2, gate sales. $2.25.

Pair of One Act Plays Here Late In October
★ O'Neill 'Emperor Jones and Sorayona's First Effort on Tap for Campus First Nighters
The first dramatic performance for this year will be in the form of two long one-act plays—Eugene O'Neill's epic melodrama, "The Emperor Jones," and William Saroyan's comedy, "My Heart in the Highlands," which was a Broadway hit last season. The date set for the plays is Oct. 23, 24, 25, and 26.
Troytools for the plays will be held in the Little Theater, Green hall at 4:30 Tuesday. In "The Emperor Jones" several parts, both for men and women, will be available for negroes. Troytools are open to all University students, whether members of the dramatic club or not.
Eugene O'Neill's play is being produced for the first time on this campus, but it was given in 1923 by lawyers at the Bowersock theatre.
William Saroyan is an Armenian who now lives in California. His most famous work, "The Man on the Flying Trapeze" was released several years ago. "My Heart's in the Highlands" is Saroyan's first play, and he calls it an experiment in "the American fable."
Oil Conservation Advocated by Ise
O'Neill was twice Pulitzer prize winner, and once the winner of the Nobel prize.
How Do You Vote On War And Neutrality?
"America has vast resources," he stated. "But her resources are not unlimited and unless care is exacerbated, she may come in all too short a time."
The plays are to be directed by Prof. Allen Crafton.
Serving as adviser to the Federal Monopoly committee in its investigation of the oil industry, Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, declared at Washington yesterday that war and threats of war required that all federal and national governments be more alert to petroleum conservation.
The oil business, Dr. Ise stated is largely controlled by 20 large integrated companies with certain fields of management suggestive of monopoly. Last year the investment of the 20 companies was almost two-thirds of the industry's total, Dr. Ise testified.
D: Ise recognized the efforts of some states to decrease the waste of oil and its by-products. But, he stated, more legislation is necessary to support the federal government or successful conservation.

Enrollment Rises In Grad School; But College Shrinks
Topping the list of schools with increased enrollments, the Graduate School this year records a rise of 44 students in its registration over last year and thirty-two graduates are now in school as compared to 283 in 1938.
With 686 students, the School of Engineering and Architecture has its largest enrollment since the World War. In the College, however, the number is 80 below that of last year. Also showing decreased enrollment is the School of Business with 19 less than the 1538 total.
In the School of Fine Arts the
rollment record was broken by 13.

War Scare Is Why.. Air Studies Hang Back

--Hay Believes
By Huck Wright, c'40
If you don't plant seeds, you can't raise turms; and if you don't have students, you can't run an air school. And when only 70 air school application blanks have been filled out of 230, then something is wrong—here is the story:
Since 1917 the enrollment has more than doubled. The total number of university students then reached 20,486 while the number is now 4,413.
When the air school began last year, students virtually beat down the
Dept. Farl D. Hay's office in
When the air school began last door in Prof. Earl D. Hay's office in a mad clamor to "get into the air school."
That was last year. But this year there is a war going on somewhere in Europe that might some day involve the Red, White and Blue.
And there's where the rub comes in. . .
There are many who believe that the University air school sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Authority to offer joker in the army's military deck.
Many parents feel that their sons would be among the first to see action in the air if the United States should become involved in a foreign war.
When a man signs up for the air school, Professor Hay declares, he does so with the intention of receiving government-sponsored training that will enable him to manipulate a plane when he is out of school. And merely because he has had the training and actual service in war time may also prove a man driving a truck will be dragged into herding armored tanks.
The University air school, however, has no more to do with diving men up for battle than do the Boy Scouts or the Girl Reserves.
Air School Physical Exams Star
The same answer goes for the draft. The air school student will not be expected to see duty any longer than will any ordinary citizen.
Ah, but there is the matter of the draft. What then?
Wilkins Family Presents Concert
The air school is definitely not op erating on you'll-make-good-fodder plan and there is no "tie-up" between the student and an American intervention in a European war.
Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice and Marie Wilkins opened the faculty concert series last night before an attentive crowd in Frank Strong auditorium. The couple sang several solo numbers and two duets. Their selections were chosen chiefly from works by Mozart, Strauss, and Brahms.
Preliminary physical examinations of applicants for the University of Kansas Civil Aeronautics training course were begun yesterday at hospital, according to an announcement by Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service.
Missouri Game Set for Nov. 25
★ Kansas Officials Agree With Tiger Coaches; Make Decision Sunday
The Tiger-Jayhawk football game, an annual Turkey Day affair will be played here on Saturday, April 28th. Athletic office unmounted Sunday.
The change from Thanksgiving was necessary because the two states will celebrate the holiday on a different date.
"The change to Nov. 25 will give our team a full week of rest before their final game," said Coach Gwinnell, in hearty approval of the plan.
At a Friday meeting the Athletic Board was unable to reach a decision. Approval by the University of Virginia did not prevent before the final agreement was made.
The sole objection was that the Oklahoma-Nebraska game will be played on the same day; this was a minor issue, however.
I.S.A. To Give Tea This Afternoon
Through the cake-and-tea medium, the Independent Student Association will attempt to get Hill women to know more Hill women, 3:50 o'clock this afternoon in the image of the Memorial Union building.
All University women are invited to the Association's first afternoon function of the year.
The Council met Sunday to map out the year's program, and announced a men's smoker immed-ate Wednesday the morning midweek.
Rooming houses will be districted this week, and initial work on men's intramural competition begin. Dorothy Schroeter, c42. I.S.A. social chairman, has planned a series of district exchange dinner dances in the new room on the third floor of the Union building.
Districts are to include approximately 70 men and women.
Majority Favor No Participation In Europe's War
★ Kanson Poll Shows Split
Sentiment for Embargo or
Sale of Munitions, Supplies
To Combatants
By Harry Hill. c'40
If the University of Kansas is in any way a measuring stick, American college students overwhelmingly favor keeping the United States out of war unless attacked.
This sentiment was reflected strongly 1,000 opinions were tabulated in the pon on neutrality which The Kansan is conducting on the Campus in cooperation with the Kansas City Star.
Balloting will continue today in classrooms with Kansan staff members collecting the results. Students who do not get an opportunity to answer the neutrality questions in class may fill out the ballot in the Kansan and deposit it in boxes in Frank Strong hall, Wasson library Journalism building. Ballots also will be available at the Kansan office.
Keen America Out
Three-fourths of the 1,000 opinions collected yesterday in the first day of polling showed a definite majority in favor of keeping entirely out of the current European war unless the United States is attacked. About one-fifth indicated that America should enter the conflict if the democracies are threatened with deafness.
Sentiment on the question of selling or embargoing airplanes and munitions to all combatants was equally divided. Half the voting students favored changing the existing laws to permit selling munitions and supplies **➢** all nations on a "cash and carry" basis. Only 19 more were for prohibiting the sale of all nations at war.
Seek 4,000 Opinions
The propositions listed in the poll are:
I favor keeping America out of war unless attacked:
I favor going to war if the democracies are threatened with defeat;
I favor retaining the existing neutrality laws which prohibit the sale of airplanes and munitions to all nations at war:
I favor changing the laws to permit selling munitions and supplies to all combatants who will carry them or carry them away in their own ships.
About 4,000 opinions will be taken at the University. Final results will be tabulated here Wednesday night and forwarded to Kansas City where the Star will include them in its general figures for the midwest. The ballots will be sent by the Star to congressmen in Washington.
Some students chose to answer none of the listed propositions, wrote their own ideas on the margin and back of the ballots. One vote wrote, "I think the present neutrality laws make America an ally of Germany." Another declared, "We should sell only to the democracies and for cash."
A man said, "Capital is making a drive for credit. We will pay for it in blood." He did not explain.
One woman student checked only the first point and frankly admitted, "I do not know enough about this thing to give an answer." Another woman, daughter of an army officer in Washington, declined to mark a ballot because "of my father's position."
Philip Koury, a member of the Star's staff, was on the campus yesterday supervising the opening day of the poll. He said a similar survey was being conducted at the University of Missouri.
Women's Pan-Hel Plans Meeting
Women's Pan Hellenic is planning regular monthly meetings at which there will be some special program. The type of program has not been specified but will include talks by special guests visiting the sororites.
