Colleges
Seek N.A.A.U.
Showdown
Demand Changed Representation on Olympic And Other Committees Governing Sports
Washington, Nov. 16—(UP)—College athletic authorities demanded a showdown with the National Amateur Athletic Union tonight on control over American participation in Olympic games.
The long-amoldering dispute flare at a meeting of committees representing the NAAU, the National Association of Lawyers, and the National Association of Oarmenters.
The present 13-man committee consists of six N.A.A.U. representatives, four college representatives two appointed by the Olympic president, and one elected by the committee.
The colleges demanded majority representation on the Olympic sports committee to direct wrestling, track and field, rowing and swimming Majority representation is now vested in N.A.A.U.
The colleges are also pressing for five representatives on the new nine-man committees governing wrestling, swimming, track and field, and rowing. Three would represent N.A.A.U. and one would be appointed by the Olympic Association president.
Majority representation on the committee would give the colleges control over the appointment of the trainers and coaches for the Olympic athletes. The N.A.A.U. now exercises that control.

Gamma Phi crecents will open their mid-winter season and brow into society this Saturday evening when the girls add a few curls, jump into a formal and sport a corsage at their party in the Union building. With several Kappa's and Sigma's participating, dance should resemble a Saturday night variety except it's f-r-e-e- . . . punch too!!

The virtual problem provided some difficulty due to the fact that so much money is going into the new house that there is really little left to set a good table. The girls solved the problem by denying themselves milk and hamburgers and some of the choice tid-bits served on guest night.

Photograph Lunar Eclipse Moon Eclipse Expected To Begin at 12:09 Tomorrow Morning
The University observatory plan to make photographs of tonight's eclipse with the Pitt 27-inch reflecting telescope. The big instrument under construction the past ten years, is nearing completion, and can be used for simple astronomical tasks such as photographing the moon.
The eclipse of the moon is scheduled to begin at 12:09 tomorrow morning, and will reach its maximum extent at 2.18 a.m., when about 15 percent of the moon's diameter will be obscured. The eclipse will end on December 31.
Use Telescope Further
Within a few days the telescope will be put to further use. Efforts to see an astroid that has approached uncommonly close to the earth will be made, Dr. N. W. Storer, assistant professor of astronomy, announced today. At present the astrologer should tell you that it cannot be seen, but it is traveling so fast that it is expected to be visible just before sunrise.
This astroid, observers say, approached to within 750,000 miles of the earth, or less than half the distance the nearest known object (except the moon), has approached to 'the earth.
"Astronomically speaking, that is decidedly close," said Dr. Storer. Discover Asteroid Oct 28
The astroid is estimated to be about one-third of a mile in diameter, and was nearest the earth on October 30. Since that date it has been receding rapidly. It was discovered by a Danish observer on Oct. 28, and later was observed by at least two other observers. Its nearest approach it was moving with exceeding rapidity, some five deeres an hour.
At its nearest, the astroid was only about three times as far from the earth as the moon is.

Brussels, Nov. 13—(UP)—Japan's spokesman today described the Far Eastern Conference"s condemnation of Japan as "laughable," and initiated an immediate motion to end the war in China would be entrusted to Germany and Italy.
Japan Defies
Nine Power Pact
The defiant statement was another blow to the conference's ill-fated efforts and came at a moment when delegates, convinced that the United States congress will reject any proposal to "force" Japan to give up her war, prepared to admit complete failure and go home.
The spokesman said that the United States, Great Britain and the other 13 powers which joined in branding Japan as an outlaw had "disqualified themselves" as future mediators in the Far East.
