Parents' Day Posters Out This Morning
Prize of $5 for Best Design: Weddell Is Main Speaker at Annual Banquet Saturday
A prize of $5 will be awarded the winner poster. It was at first intended to place the posters on all the bulletin boards over the Hill and determine the best effort by gradually eliminating them. The poster that disappeared first was to have been named the host. But when it was assigned to display the designs in the Memorial Union building on the day of the parents' visit, the first method was discarded. The placards will be placed in locked bulletin boxes.
Students in the department of design have matched their artistic abilities in a contest for the best poster advertising Parents' Day, Saturday, and the finished products will be placed on bulletin boards around the Campus this morning.
At the banquet, which begins at 6 p.m. Saturday, three prizes will be awarded for attendance. The parent or parents who came the longest distance for the celebration, the par-
greatest number of children now attending the University, and the organized house with the largest percentage of parental attention be given award consisting of projects of department of design students. In case of ties duplicate prizes will be given.
The general committee for Parents' Dy hopes that an fortunate incident which occurred at the banquet last spring will not be repeated Saturday. The Alpha Delta Pi sorority was declared winner of the prize for the largest percentage of parents attending the banquet, but when the awards were given out, no member of the sorority, no alumnus nor a parent was in the room to receive the award.
Henry Werner, men's student adviser, who with Elizabeth Meguil, advisor to women, is supervising general arrangements for the banquet, said yesterday attendance probably will be on Monday in the Kansas-Oklahoma football game in the afternoon and Supreme Court Justice Hugo Weddell, a University alumus, as principal speaker of the evening.

Take your notes as you have been taught to do. Then buy three three-by-five filing cards. Look over your notes and use a red pencil. Some parts are easy to remember. The most interesting vexet devil?" That formula in chemistry or name in history or declension in Latin. These are the key points in the lecture. Write small and enter these high spots on your three-by-five cards. One side of such card shows "The real posers in any one lecture."
Now you have the difficult points all together on cards—uck those cards into your pocket. Then, during the spare moments of the day, use these cards. The ten minutes before dinner or waiting for a date, or loafing after one. Your success in any course isn't to depend so much on getting day's work, although that is not necessary, but not forgetting the work that has preceded. You have the key points of this and other courses in your vest口袋 notes. Here is where the system enters
Outstanding Flyers Charge Lindberg
Moscow, Oct. 10—(UP)—Charges by 11 outstanding Soviet Russian flyers that Col. Charles A. Linderberg played a significant role during the European war crisis by informing British officials that the Soviet air force was weak, tonight enmeshed the American aviator in a bitter international w rangle.
Soviet Russians S t a t e
Colonel Informed British of Weak Air Force During Crisis
The denunciation of Lindbergh in a letter to the newspaper, Pravada, was based on allegations that appeared in London publications. The American flies' aviation accomplishments were derided, and he was accused of making his flying visit to Russia last August "under instructions of English reactionaries."
The bitterly phrased letter was signed by several flyers who helped entertain and honor the Lindberghs on their summer visit here.
Do you have perplexing troubles when examination time comes around? Do you worry and cram and still go to class in a harsh state of mind? Take a tip - do it this easy way - and be rid of the horrors of that pre-quiz strain! Prof. F. B. Dains of the department of chemistry recommends the following plan of study, titled "Digging In."
The sensational charges were made as Lindbergh and his wife left Paris by airplane for Berlin to study aviation production in Germany.
P. S. G. L. Party Will Meet Tonight
"He came to Russia uninvited under the instructions of English reactionaries in order to testify to the weakness of Soviet aviation and provide Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain with arguments for capitulating at Munich," the letter said, adding, "The paid air Lindbergh has duly performed his duty to his besses."

Opening gun of the fall political activities was fired yesterday by P.S.G.L. when temporary freshman chairman Fred Eberhardt, c42, announced a meeting on Monday at 813 p.m. The order of business will include the

Bv Bill Barley, c'sp
Get busy at the beginning of the term. You will find that your pack of cards rapidly grows. Mix them all together—chemistry, French, history, math, and biology. Now be careful. Every morning select a certain number from that pile for review—let us say ten. Make it an absolutely rigid point that these ten are read over carefully during the course of the day. You may use them in a schedule. When where or how you read them take little difference, but get them rea
d and be thorough about it.
Then replace them. One card came early in the course. You know everything on it thoroughly. Place it on the bottom of the pile, it will be quite a time before you meet it again. Another you are not so sure of Put it in it in the middle across it again in say, two weeks. Finally you meet a card which represents a lecture today. It was difficult and you know that you have not mastered it. So put it near the top where you will get at it again in the very near future.
The idea is to guarantee that you keep reviewing your entire world during the course of the year. Also, that you keep seeing the stuff you have mastered in rather long intervals, while you have the material you have not mastered served up to you every few days.
Another point, Do exactly the same thing with the books you read
