Expressing the policy of the reorganization plan, the convention voted this "as an effort to instill in our students a strong employer and employee by strengthening the alumni and undergraduate chapters, and not to commit Sigma Delta Chi to either a pre-labor or anti-labor program which now is being carried on may be carried on in college by other journalistic groups.
In recommending that the resolution be made a permanent part of the plan submitted to college and alumni chapters, the statement of policy was in reference to opponents fears that the reorganization, which is scheduled for October, would groups, would be merely a counter group to be used in combating the American Newspaper Guild or other journalistic groups.

Sorrowful Students Sadly Subside Saturday
With nothing to celebrate, University of Kansas students remained sad Saturday evening, docilely attending free midnight show.
Wildcat roots yanked up one goal post, but their strength waned and the other is still standing. Other disturbances neither marked nor marred the day. The main event, between 2 and 4 clock in the afternoon in the stadium, was enough to var an otherwise perfect day.
A wire from the whistle valve to a window in Watson library was discovered yesterday. In frustrations over the loss of the more industrious men of the University had intended to toot the whistle until kingdom came. Powerhouse employees, however, lack the machinery to cope with the day to prevent such disturbances.
By blowing at 8:10 yesterday morning, the whistle made a blue Monday bluer by rushing professors and teachers who were 10 minutes ahead of schedule.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, attributed the discourteous disturbance to the fact that the whistle chain had become fouled and caused the early morning rush.
In preparation for National Art Week, students in the department of design are exhibiting part of their work at the New York City Bell Music commune of Lawrence.

Congress
Special Session T or n
By Dissension Thirty
Minutes After Official
Opening Yesterday
Washington, Nov. 15—(UP) Congress convened in special convention at noon today and within thirty minutes the House was torn by discussion which threw administration leaders back on their heels and raised the spectre of revolt against President Roosevelt's legislative program.
The explosion was touched on when Rep. Ralph Church (Rep. III), objected—after reading the President's message—to a unanimous concurring vote. The day, Tempers软了 and order was restored only when Rep. Raymond J. Cannon (Dem, Wis.), still wearing his overcoat, walked into the house well and moved adjustment until he spoke, speech-making field day is expected.
Attack Legislation
Both chambers convened with nothing to look forward to except the President's message, owing to failure of committees to have crop control, wage-hour, and other legislation ready.
Rep. Arthur Lannoech (Dem, Ohio) kept the ball rolling with repeated attacks on pending wage-hour legislation, and Minority Leader Bertrand H. Snell (Rep, N.Y.) poured oil on the fire by demanding outright repeal of the undistributed profits and capital stock. Other congressmen attempted to speak and the chamber was roaring as though experience had struck it when the oversteamed Cannon moved to adjournment.
Desire Quick Action
The House convened with galleries crowded, news, cameras, clicking away and microphones busy with broadcasts.
A roll call was ordered and Speaker of the House William B. Bankhead was forced to rap for order continually because of the huddle. Three
tives out of 432 answered them.
Penning readings of the President's message—an appeal for quick action on his four-point program—the house run through routine business.
President Asks Congress For Speedy Legislation
Washington, Nov. 15—(UP) President Roseveil warned congress today that there has been a bipartisan proposal that it be combated by swift action on his legislative program and by revising tax laws, particularly to aid small business also to remove inequalities from all.
He said in a message to the legislature as they assembled in a special session, that the business deal was "better than proportion," and cautioned that with the exercise of "ordinary prudence" there is no reason why we should offer a prolonged recession before a general economic paralysis.
But, the chief executive emphasized the slump has had the effect of decreasing the national income "and that is a matter of definite concern." The immediate task is to try to increase its private capital, he said, adding, "obviously government cannot let nature take its course without regard to the consequences, and if private enterprise does not respond, the government will have to intervene." He appealed to congress and the nation as a whole to co-operate.
Mr. Roosevelt reaffirmed his determination to balance the 1988-30 law, which he said there should be revisions of the tax laws, there should be none which should reduce aggregate revenue and the burden of those unable to pay.
Almost simultaneously, a new threat to the budget's budget-balancing plan came from the opening meeting of the United States conference of mayors, where Mayor Fiorello H. Lauren of New York warned that unemployment would be severe if that the present slump continued, congress will have to appropriate additional relief funds.
