He will explain the story of his life from ancient times to the present. Included in the programs will also be exhibits of astronomical instruments comparable to the exhibitions at the larger planetariums. These will include the spectroscope, transit, sexuit, chronograph, photographs or sky-pictures, and several valuable old astronomical books In addition, the sex-inch telescope will be available to visitors for observance of sky phenomena. At each "Sky Night," short talks will be given on various phases of astronomy at 8:30 and 9 o'clock. In the future, motion pictures showing astronomical movements will be given at the "Sky Night" in place of the lectures. During the lecture, a video will be conducted through the observatory to explain the objects on display and the use of the various instruments.

WOMEN STUDENTS ELIZABETH MEGUIAR; Adviser to Women Students Are Injured In Game Condition of Shannon Reported as Satisfactory After Sinus Operation Last Night The proposed plan for an enlarged intramural program received new impetus among the student sponsors yesterday, when two men were injured on the intramural field in a game of touch football between Phi Gamma Delta and Pi Kappa Alpha Walt Sherman and Haidu Hassan. In the student hospital as a result of a clash in which Shannon received a crushed sinus and Dunbam a gush over the eye. Shannon underwent an operation in the student hospital last night and Dr. R. I. Canutese reported that he would recover satisfactorily unless complications developed. Shannon also suffered a slight concussion. Operation Necessary The petition, sponsored by the men students of the University, which requests $1,290 for improvement and enlargement of intramural facilities, lays blame for the greater share of such injuries on the poor condition of the intramural playing field. Two other men, Louis Cohen am, Paul Marriot, were injured in a touch football game Monday after he Neither man was injured arously. The petition points out that the field has never undergone improvement, and is in a run-down condition making it dangerous to the participants. The field has a decided slope, which tends to cause collisions; it is used to remove holes and ditches, and level the surface. Field Is Dangerous The funds asked for in the petition are to be paid out of the reserve fund of the student activity fund. A grant for future years the petition suggests that a re-allocation be made of the student activity ticket fund, or that the activity ticket fee be raised enough to cover fund debts to carry the program. Approves Petition The petition was approved by the committee in charge of the reserve fund and will be put up before the Senate for further action in the near future. If the two governing bodies are favorable to the plan a committee will be appointed from each, to meet with the committee on intramural matters. A committee, definitely how the money shall be obtained and spent in future years.

Lewis May Organize New Party Indications Point to Independent Group in Congressional Campaign Next Year Washington, Oct. 21—(UP) John L. Lawson tonight placed his Labor Non-Partisan League on what appeared to approach a third party basis and pointed it toward the 1938 congressional election. The C.L.O. chieftain, who is chairman of the league, has drafted charters which soon will be issued to local N.P.L. units, and the latter are expected to operate on a dues-paying plan. The league claims an "inactive membership" of 3,500,000 and an additional 32,000 workers who are now engaged in an organization driver. Inactive Membership The league, it was learned, is pointing toward attempts in 1938 to elect its own congressional and state candidates in areas where it feels strong, and to liberate forces in weaker sectors, to back suitable nominees of the other parties. Although Lewis declined comment on the touchy question of the future, sources close to him said the partisan rhetoric is "of independent political action." Proof sheets of the new charters, which will be distributed within a few days, pledge the league to "acquire" the organized farmers of the country. Objectives in Charters The charters will be issued to state leagues and local units and offices "as the unit of labor's non-participation in the group as objectives of the group as follows: "For the primary purpose of independent labor, political action in assisting by every legitimate political means in the improvement of wages and working conditions of Americans labor, and to actively support the organized farmers of the country in their efforts to improve agricultural conditions; and, more generally, to preserve a protective group whose purpose is to secure the enactment of liberal and humanitarian legislation." Use in Future Campaigns "This organization," the charac-pledes, "will be used in election campaigns of the future to insure the nomination and election to public office of men and women who are not only pledged to support labor and other causes," whose record also justifies the belief that those pledes will be kept." Lewis' latest action in the political field follows a clearcut warning at the recent American Federation of Labor convention, that political candidates must oppose the C.I.O. if they want A.F. of L support. Play Tickets Go at Fast Pace Ticket sales for the dramatic production, "Beggar on Horseback," a new high school for first-day sales yesterday. There were 60 of the special season tickets sold to faculty members and Lawrence people, and over 325 student activity book tickets were exchanged for reserved seats before the office closed at 4 p.m. The special season ticket is a block of four, to be exchanged for a reserved seat before each play in the dramatic season.

Sooners Favored Over Jayhawkers in Game at Norman Tomorrow; Ferrel Anderson Added to Injured List That Includes Douglass, Shitk, Ametine, Cannady, Burnette, and Hardace STARTING LINEUP KANSAS (190) RE OKLAHOMA Wind (190) RT Young (195) Anderson (195) RG Ball (184) or Mordeld (194) (180) C Parks (220) Stephanton (180) Thomas (190) Bobleave (182) Dugger (183) Weinecke (182) LEQ Mercell (188) Weinecke (182) QR Mercell (188) Ropley (182) HBG Corto (165) Douglass (165) FB McCullough STARTING LINEUP On the other hand, the Kansas eleven, hopeful though handicapped by injuries, is gunning for another upset that will put Two-Milers To Oklahoma Close Race Expected Between Halves at Norman Tomorrow The Jaihawk two-mile team, led by Ernest Klann, who finished second in the two-mile team race against Missouri last week, will swing into action against the Oklahoma Sooners tomorrow, between halves of the Oklahoma-Kansas football game. The same team that made the Missouri trip—Klann, Toleman, Hassan, Ryan, and Hepner—will go into against the smooth-striding Sooners. Comparative dope, compiled from the competition of both teams so far this season, points to a close race. Last Saturday the Oklahoma team was defeated by Nebraska in Lincoln by a 32 to 23 score. "Speedy" Howell, number one man of the Oklahoma team, finished third in the race, coming in behind Nebraska's Andrews and Brown. Kansas lost to Missouri at Columbia last Saturday 24 to 31. Ernest Klamm, number one man for Kansas, finished second to John Munski. Missouri's ace, in the slow time of 9:59. Klaim's best time for the two-mile grind is 9.47, and much hope for a Kausa victory over the Sooners depends upon his ability to negotiate the eight laps around the track in speedy time. All of the Jayhawk runners have been showing steady improvement in practice sessions. The race will be held on the sophomores on the squad some valuable experience and this, coupled with the improvement of the team, should go far toward chalking up a victory for the Jayhawks tamor- In Recital At Park College Evelyn Swarthout, pianist, and daughter of Dean and Mrs. D.

Miss Ruth Swarthout will spend the winter in New York City taking advanced study in metal work and jewelry designing. them right in the conference race. Such an upset would be all that is necessary to fire the Kansas supporters with enthusiasm and remove memories of last season. Anderson May Be Out However, clouds of gloon start moving in last night when it was learned that Ferrel Anderson, requi- tular guard, had bruise that night CLARENCE DANIELS The fullback position is also causing the coaching staff a lot of worry. Douglas, 200-foot scoring leader of the conference, is often the most vulnerable and back it is doubtful that he will be ready to go at the sound of the whistle, although he is listed in the starting line. Camnady, the first reserve in line, is huddling around on an ice rink and is doubtful he will see much action. Amerine, Shirk Improved Hardware is another on the injury list with a bare leg. However he is expected to start the game. Divers will be backs that are far 'ton son' foot. consolation, how- ever, in the fact that Amerine has been given th MAINWICE CANNADY doctor's "O. K." and will be ready to play for the first time in two weeks. He played with a bad leg since the Washburn game, looked much better yesterday afternoon, and should get into the game. From all aspects the Sooners are the favored team. Only one man on their sound will be out of the game because they have an unskilled backfield man who, however, was not needed to the Nebraska. And on season's records the Sooners hold a big edge. The Oklahoma team has lost only one game, the first of the season to Tulsa, the first to Jacksonville and taking Texas and Nebraska. Broadcast over WKY Kansas has played much weaker teams, winning from Wishburn and Iowa State, and losing to Wichita. On the basis of series records, Kansas has the edge with 17 wins since 1903 against 12 victories for the Sooners. Four of the games have been ties. The game will be broadcast over station WKY, Oklahoma City, at 900 kilbcles. Mrs. Louisa McCracken Dies at Granada. Colorado Mrs. Luisa McCracken, mother of M.
