Announce Frosh Women Nominations
Freshman Co-eds Will I
Vote for Vice-President
And Secretary at Polls
Thursday
A small group of freshman women listened to the reading of the nominations for class officers of vicepresident and secretary, at the meeting in central Administration auditorium yesterday afternoon.
Doris Stockwell, c39, president of the W.S.G.A., read rules regarding the election, which will be held in the rotunda of the Administration building from 3 to 5 p.m. The method of first, second and third choice balloting will be used in counting the votes.
Candidates for the office of vice-president accepted are: Betty Jean Van Deventer, Betty Kimble, and Carolyn Green. The petitions of Jean Robertson and Jean Boeswil for nomination for this office were presented to the W.S.G.A. council upon until the W.S.G.A. council passes upon them tonight.
Velma Wilson, chairman of the election committee, explains the election count method as follows: "In counting the votes, the name of the woman with the fewest is thrown out, and the votes are redistributed among the remaining candidates. This process is continued until one of the candidates has enough votes to take over." Thus, it will be the choice of the largest number, although not the first choice of all voters."
For secretary of the class, the petitions of Lenora Grizzel, Bernadine Hall, and Louise Owens were accepted.
The women elected will replace Harriet Stephens, c'40, and Velma Wilson, c'40. They will have a voting position on the W.S.G.A. council.

We're still trying to figure out who started the fire in the Kappa driveway and what the purpose was. It seems that the key girls are blaming the Phi Gams for the arson act but the Sigma Chis' students are and that they were the one's called the local fire department.

These tickets are for seats on the 40- and 50-yard lines in the heart of the Kansas section.
Bill Bailey, president of the Ku Kui, urges that every student attending the game buy rooters. The rooters will be in one section.
It was after a similar rally two years ago that an inspired Jay-hawker squad invaded Cornhusk territory in a battle of which the outcome was not determined until the last few minutes of play.
The team will leave for Nebraska at 5 p.m. Friday and will arrive in Lincoln at 10 p.m.
A rally will be held at the station both here and at Lincoln. The band will be at the station in Lincoln when the train arrives. It will lead a parade through the streets of Lincoln, where short rallies will be held on the street corners and at the Cornhush hotel.

S t a t e I Instructors To Hold Two-Day Session: Lord Marley Will Be Featured Sneaker
Lincoln, Nc., will be the center of conference attention as the stage all set there for the entrance of a big contingent for the Big Six crown.
Two general sessions, seven de-
partmental meetings, and at least 25
roundtable meetings, will comprise
the official program for Kansas State
Teachers Association meeting, which
will be held on Wednesday, Friday
and Saturday of this week.
This weekend promises to be the best of the current Big Six season in that it will determine the potential champion and go a long way toward unravelling the heap as it now exists.
Kansas will oppose Nebraska in a game that will find two good lines pitched against one another and where victory will lie in the difference of the backfields. To the Big Six title, if we can judge by past performances a and comparative scores. If the Cornhuckers beat the Jayhawkers their path to the crown will be much easier, as they have only the Wildcats standing in their way. Kansas, on the other hand, displace of Missouri and Kansas State—a really tough assignment.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will welcome the teachers to the Campus at the first general meeting, Friday morning at 9:30, after which Mrs. Dorothea Brande, author of "Wake Up" will speak with that on her topics.
Lord Marley, deputy speaker of the English House of Lords, will talk Friday evening on "The Danger of War." Immediately preceding his talk, Asa Converse of Wellsville, member of the Kansas house of representatives, will talk on "Educational Legislation."
One of the newer conferences will be "Newer Movements in Education,"—Nursery schools—Adult education," with Dr. J. W. Twente of the University as chairman. Principal speakers will be from the W.P.A. state organization, which is directive both adult and nursery school programs.
Banquets for a half dozen or more groups have been arranged for Friday evening, with probably the largest one for University of Kansas graduates. Emporia and Pittsburg teachers colleges, McPherson College, and Kansas Wesleyan also will have dinners, as will the Pi Lambda Theta, and the Kansas Association for Childhood Education.
Hold Departmental Meetings
Girl Reserves and Hi-Y will have breakfast meetings at which problems will be discussed. Roundtable will be provided for P-TA, school librarians, and school board members, as well as the group meetings of staff and students in biology, history, modern languages, physical sciences and so on.

of local appeal in Missouri. The Billikens are somewhat of an unknown quantity, and are not expected to give the Tigers much trouble. Missouri found a belated scoring punch against Iowa State last week, and if she gets some good quarterbacks may run up the ride.
Washburn has not taken it on the chin so much this season that one might say they were a bit slap-happy, goes down to Manhattan to play Kansas State. The game has no other importance except that it will be a good chance for Wes Fry to try out some hitherto untrained material. However, Washburn may "come back" against the Whitfield Cardinals play again in Colorado College team was commendable.
Iowa State's Cyclones, who have taken on the role of stouge for the rest of the Big Six teams, will again be led to the slaughter when they travel to Norman to play Oklahoma. Judging from the play of the soonsers at Manhattan, the Iowa State boys will be "gone with the wind" and it will be a weary train ride back to Ames.
Washburn To Play Aggies
The big game of the weekend at Lincoln should be the focal point, and a win for Kansas would be something to "tally" about. Kansas hasn't beaten Nebraska in twenty years.
Fire Chief Seeks Hat Among Hill Collectors; No Questions Asked
Ingalls called Mr. Wren Sunday afternoon to report his loss, and to request its return. The hat, a heavy white one, costs about $11 or $12, and, said Chief Ingall, is difficult to replace quickly. He explained that the heavy hats are used only when entering burning buildings, and consequently this one was left in the car while extinguishing the fire.
Mr. Werrier has asked that the hat, which is probably now adorning the wall of some student in the neighborhood, be returned. "Whoever it was took it," it said "has had to come back." He restored to its owner. Otherwise the chief will have to purchase a new one, which means $11."
The fire chief asserted that he did not wish to cause any trouble for the person involved; he just wants the person to be careful and expense of purchasing a new hat.
Professor Buchier will outline the activities of the speech department. These include debating, oratory, and extemporaneous speaking contests. He will also describe the plans for tryouts for these functions.

Speakers Rally Tonight
The meeting will be over by 8 p.m. in order that all who wish to hear Sinclair Lewis speak will be able to do so. Everyone interested in participating in speech activitie is urged to attend.
Two new types of competition to be held sometime during the school year will be announced at the meeting. One is an extemporaneous speaking contest and the other is an oratorical contest, which will have "peace" as the topic of discussion. In addition, School Law will be the subject.
CIO Seeks Political Control
Detroit, Nov. 2.—(UP)—The Committee for Industrial Organization's first attempt to seize political control of a major city was expected tonight to attract an all-time record of more than 400,000 voters to the polls in tomorrow's municipal election.
Officially, the election will be strictly non-partisan, under provision of Detroit's charter; no party or faction will be identified with the winning candidate.
The battle between the warring labor factions is not clearcut for only the CIO is seeking political control. The A.F. of L. has merely joined with common enemies of the John L. Lewis organization; its one empire in the election is to elect candidates not supported by the CIO.
But for all practical purposes the CIO candidates—just enough to gain complete control of the city government—had a distinct and highly organized political party. Its five councilmanic candidates are high officials of the United Automobile Workers' union.

With only two days remaining before the election, fresh politicians today were making last-minute drives for voters among non-fra
Despite the fact that an ineligibility epidemic among the Men's Student Council members has practically nullified the importance of the election, fresh voters in the rooming house districts are expecting the usual eleventh-hour rush of campaigners.
Interest in the campaign apparently has not been dampened by the M.S.C. uphawks which left P.S.G. L, with a 17 to 9 majority over H. C. W. The freshman president of no immediate benefit to either party.
Expect Large Vote
While there are no indications of a record vote Thursday, party leaders said a number not far below the all-time high would cast ballots.
from the strategy of both parties to date, it is apparent each is willing that the race be decided on the merits of the candidates. There is no need for a general consensus rather a remarkable co-ordination in the opposing parties' policies
Both devoted a plank to the endorsement of Dean Werner's student advisory program, and in further similarity, pledged support to any movement designed to stimulate school spirit.
An unusual feature of the campaign is that each group chose to stake its chances on the same tactics employed in the 1936 campaign. As in last fall's election, Pacachamac named a Lawrence non-fraternity man, Rae Riggs, c'40 as its presiden-tor and James GLA, again chose a non-fraternity, Summerfield scholar, Bob Brockett, c'40, as its nominee for president.

To Probe Ship Sinking
Sinclair Lewis, Nobel prize winner and outstanding contemporary novelist and playwright, will appear tonight at the University to open the community lecture course. He will peak on "The Novelist as Prophet."
Elen's speech was the most vigorous in his entire career. He was en route to Brussels for Wednesday's Far Eastern Peace Conference when the house passed its vote of confidence, rejecting a butterfly motion and right to comment in reply to King George's address of last Tuesday.
His Most Vigorous Speech
Mr. Lewis has not been making stage appearances for the past ten years, and this is his first visit to the University since 1926. At that time he came here to gather material for a book
More than one hundred members of the Student Correspondents' Bureau met for the second year yesterday in room 102, Journalism building.
The foreign secretary's attack on Italy appeared to mark an exhaustion of British patience after months of cautious diplomatic movements on Eden's part in an effort to stem Il Duce's warlike defiance.
It was apparent from Eden's speech that Britain is ready to discuss the colonial plan with Germany, but is angry with Mussolini for his fascist "birthday" speech in Rome in which the dictator asserted his power and urged an up return of the Reich's war-lost possessions in Africa.
"We offer our co-operation to all, but we accept dictation from none." As Eden attacked Duce in a speech which he himself discribed so being "appalling frankness," Britain's biggest warship, the battle cruiser Hood, steamed into Barcelona on the Spanish east coast to investigate the sinking of the freighter, Jean Weems, by a "prate" airplane, allegedly with Italian markings.
John E. Hankins, associate professor of English at the University will speak at a meeting of the Wichita section of the Kansas State Teachers' Association, Friday, on "The Genesis of Poetry."

"There are far too many students at K.U. who don't have enough money, more than there are who have not much," Paul B. Lawson, dean of the college, told the correspondents in speaking about the working students at the University. More than a fourth of the students enrolled in the University are entirely self-supporting, while most of the body is partially self-supporting, and only a third have pledged fraternities or sororites.
Editors Co-operate
people, the leaders of their group.
Another source of news, Mr. Dill told the group, was the University Daily Kansan, in which appeared names of students active in University affairs.
C. H. Mullen, director of the bureau, read several reports received by him from editors over the state which indicated their willingness to print news of University students from their respective communities.
"It has been very gratifying," Mullen said, "to see the co-operation in the state have maintained in the student correspondence plan."
The organization is sponsored by the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. A first prize of $15 and a second prize of $10, together with six other prizes, will be given to students who work in the bureau. The awards will be based on both quality and quantity of news sent by students, printed in their respective papers.
Ninety-four students are now sending news of the University to more than 90 counties in the state. When full organization of the bureau is completed, podiens are expected to be sending news to the 105 Kansas counties.

'Main Street' Most Famous Mr. Lewis' greatest fame probably came from his book, 'Main Street,' which was written about the town in which he was born. Sauk Center, Minn. In recent years his novel, "It Can't Happen Here," has been widely read. An earlier novel, "Arrowsmith," was written in 1928 byIZE, which Mr. Lewis did not accept.
Mr. Lewis spent his childhood in Minnesota. He attended Yale, and later worked on papers and magazines in five states and Washington.

The author is prepared to bring to his audience the sharp humor and deep penetration for which his writings are noted. In his writings since "Main Street," he has attacked practically every phase of American life, including the militant Milton Waldman, writing of contemporary American authors, say, "Of the host of figures who undertook, just after the war, searchingly to inspect and unmercifully to castigate the self-satisfaction and erudence of life in the United States," and Mr. Lewis L.

Japan Uses Flying Fortress
Shanghai, Nov. 2. —(UP) -Japan launched her great flying fortress airplane into the sky at 8 am. today. The plane is carrying three lines along the Shanghai front.
Two planes were believed to have been flown here from Japan proper. It was understood they carry small weapons and guns, heavy machine guns and bombs.
The bombardment was the heaviest of the long battle for control of Shanghai and the Yangtze river delta.
The Japanese were keeping their attack some distance from the British and American defense lines in an effort to avoid additional complications with Washington and London.
