Rush Week To Hands Of Pan-Hel
Release Lists To Aid Small Sororities
Small sororities it was believed today, will benefit from changes recently made in girls' rush week with regard to dates and rules. The new plan places rush week in the hands of the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council. Heretofore the University has assumed the responsibility.
★ Rushees To Pay $5 Fee; Won't Live in Corinb Hall Will Be Housed in Approved Rooms and Hotel
Rush week has been moved up to Sept. 11 so the old break between preferential dinners and enrollment will be avoided. Preferential dinners will be held on Thursday night and bids will be offered Friday morning.
The changes have been effected by the Pan-Hellenic Council and a group of sorority alumni.
Available Names
The Pan-Hellenic council will publish a pamphlet containing information about the University which will be sent to every graduating senior in high schools of the state university. The intent intends to attend the University.
One of the most important rulings in regard to the smaller sororities is a "release list" which is to be published and given to the names of girls who are available.
The usual $5 rushing fee will be paid by the rushes. Of this fee $5 will go to the sorority which she pledges and $2 will aid in defraying council expenses. The fee imposed to prevent girls from going through rush week "just for the ride," it was said.
Won't Use Corbin
Corbin hall will not be used this year to house rushees because the regular residents will already have arrived owing to the late rush week start. Girls will be housed in approved rooming houses and the ho

Dance Manager Post May Be Filled Illegally

This was revealed today when Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, said that the dancer manager bill had not yet been approved by the Chancellor which is mandatory before a bill can become law.
Another provision in the constitution states that the bill becomes a part of the constitution after it has been published in the Daily Kansas. This has not yet been done. Would You Conference
Principal change in the selection of the Varsity Dance Manager was that part of the new bill which read that "The Varsity Dance Manager shall be chosen from a slate of candidates from the University at Albany, a state as a student states was chosen by the Men's Student Council.
Henry Werner, men's student adviser, when approached concerning the apparent mix-up, said that the best thing to do might possibly be to call a meeting between Blaine Grimes, c39, ex-president of the Council, and C. H. Mullen, c39, president of the M.S.C., and the two council advisers, W. R. Maddox, and E. O. Stene, assistant professors of political science. Whatever they decide would determine the course of action the dance manager committee would take, Werner suggested.
Union Must Approve
Leo Johnstone, e40, president of the Student Union Activities committee expressed hope today that the matter would be cleared up in time for the Varsity Dance Manager to be present at the K-Book committee meeting to fix next year's Varsity Dance dates Monday.
Littlow's selection for the Dance Manager position has not yet been approved by the Memorial Union Operating committee. This approval is necessary according to both the Dance Manager bill and the new one.
"In view of the fact that I was unavoidable unable to be present at the meeting of the Dance manager committee on Saturday, May 20, I feel quite unqualified to vote on any of the candidates. This is said without any reflection on the merits of any candidate."
Concerning his part in the Dance Manager committee's selection of Littoo last Saturday, Werner said:

27 Dead Aboard Trapped Squalus; Others Well
- Kansas Youth Among First Seven Survivors Brought to Surface; Diving Bell Is Used in Rescue of Submarine Victims; Rush of Water May Have Caused Fatalities
Portsmouth, N. H., May 24-(UP)-Navy divers who went to the bottom of the Atlantic today reported 27 men trapped aboard the sunken submarine Squalus were "undoubtedly dead" and 32 others were alive and well.
Water Rushes In
Twenty-five other survivors remained in the submerged craft waiting to be rescued. It was believed the dead bodies would be brought up last.
Seven of the survivors were brought to the surface in a specially constructed diving bell being used in a disaster for the first time in the history of the United States navy.
The rush of water into several compartments of the submarine apparently was responsible for the fatalities but no one could determine the causes of deaths until divers had penetrated the chambers and removed the bodies.
Women Map Budget Plans
Among the seven brought to the surface was Gerald C. McLees, Richmond, Kan., Carol Nathan Pierce, Kansas City, Kan., also was a survivor but still was in the submarine.
★ W.S.G.A. Allots S1,136
From Activity Ticket Income to Organizations

A sum of approximately $1,136 from the W.S.G.A. income of next year's activity tickets will be allotted to various organizations, it was announced by Jean Robertson, c'40, chairman of the budget committee, at the Council's final meeting in the Memorial Union building last night. This amount is just an estimate that does not include other incidentals that will present themselves in the future.
The bill asking for an appropriation of $100 to the Student State-Wide Activities Commission presented by C, H. Mullen, c39, president of the commission, at a meeting on May 24, passed by a unanimous vote in view of the commission's record in the work it has done.
Other highlights on the 1939-40 budget are: $100 to Mortar Board, honorary scholastic organization; $140 to the student directory; $50 to the vocational education; $50 to the K-Book; $100 for housing (inspection of homes for student occupancy); and $30 to the Jay-hawk Nibble fund (freshman dinner originated last fall).
A parking committee composed of Mary Garrison, and Betty Jane Bodington, c'40, was also elected.
The regular Wednesday afternoon teas will not be held at the Memorial Union building next year it was decided at the meeting. In addition, women lounge in Frank Strong suite to facilitate more members.

Draft Dodger To Be in New York
Doug Dodger to Be in New York
Washington, May 24. — (UP) — Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the World War draydog who fled to Germany to escape prosecution, is aboard the liner Bremen and will arrive in New York tomorrow, his attorney said today.
Earlier a message of hope had come from the crack rescue ship, Falco, standing 240 feet above the submerged submarine and dropping divers to the ocean floor to the side of the craft.
Divers to Craft
"Divers on deck," Falcon flashed. The message told waiting navy officials that one of the 40 divers dispatched to the rescue had reached the Squauli and had contacted dredgers through tapping with the trapped men.
The first diver who first reached the Squalus merely made a contact with the men inside. There was no response. The two those aboard were suffering.
When it had been established through the tappings that there still was life aboard the submarine, the crew were fastening a plant diving bell through which the seven men were brought to the surface.
Other divers waited on the Falcon, 240 feet directly above, ready to take their turn at the bottom, 16 miles out from the coast where the Squalus went out for a trial dive yesterday and settled when one of her high-speed induction valves failed to close.
As he worked, the diyer continued to tap. the sides of the submerged craft cheering the men inside who had waited 30 hours at 1 p.m. to be rescued. He made no attempt to tell them anything in code.
Several compartments of the Squalus had been flooded, but it was believed that if any men were in those chambers they would have been able to close emergency valves and keep the water before it went over their knees.
As the navy men worked swiftly and calmly to lower a giant diving bell through which the men might be brought to the surface, the hours before the nooses waiting began to tell on the nerves of relatives of those below.

Nazi Danzig Senate Protests Attack on German Driver
Danzig, May 24—(UP)—A German chauffeur, driven into Danzig from Elbing, in East Prussia, asserted today that he was fired at hut not struck after having passed Polish customs officials.
The Nazi Danzig senate sent a strong protest to the Polish diplomatic representative as soon as it heard of the allegation. At the same time it handed in a new note in answer to Polish protests against disorders during the week end, as the result of which a Polish official chauffeur killed a Danzig German.
