ASC Asked To Raise Hungary Student Fund
The All Student Council has been asked to join the KU-Y and the Student Religious Council in supporting Hungarian students by sponsoring an emergency fund raising campaign.
Ralph Varnum, Kansas City, Mo., junior, Tuesday told the ASC that the KU-Y and the council have authorized the World University Service to cable $500 to be sent abroad and have proposed that the ASC sponsor a campaign to raise funds to reimburse the local WUS.
The proposal asks the ASC to authorize the campus chest, as the official campus collection agency, to raise the money.
"This is a chance for students to help fellow students abroad and for KU to set a presedent among universities in aiding Hungarian students." Varnum said.
This drive will not replace the spring campus chest drive. No solicitations will be made in houses, he said. The KU-Y has pledged continued support of the project and will make up the amount not raised by the students.
All petitions for Hungarian support must be given to the KU-Y office by Thursday.
The Student Athletic Board was asked to investigate an ID card transfer to football and basketball games without charge and an activity ticket for student wives. The committee will meet with A. C. (Dutch) Lonberg, athletic director, and will make a report after Thanksgiving.
ASC Visits Postponed
ASC Visits Postponed
The "Meet Your ASC" visits to the dormitories and houses have been postponed until Thanksgiving. The committee in charge recommended that five groups of three persons be appointed to visit houses during dinner hours Nov. 28, 29 and Dec. 3.
A bill to raise the salaries of the Jayhawker editor and business manager to $650 was passed. A parking bill amending the constitution and defining regulations was also passed.
CROP Needs More Funds
CROP, the Christian Rural Overseas Program, is soliciting throughout Douglas County for donations to help Hungaran refugees.
"We hope to have the Lawrence community covered by Saturday," said the Rev. Dale E. Turner, county CROP drive director. "Volunteer solicitors are badly needed right now.
Uncovered Lawrence areas would produce at least $1,000 if reached by solicitors. Rev. Turner estimated.
"In itself this is considerable," he added, "but really it means that $20,000 in badly needed food will not get to some hungry persons—perhaps some of those Hungarians whose courage we have found so admirable."
Anyone wanting to contribute two or three hours time should contact Mr. Turner or Lowell R. Risk, city drive chairman.
Freshmen-Return The Questionnaires
Freshman men should complete and return the questionnaires sent them by the Office of the Dean of Students, 228 Strong Hall before leaving for Thanksgiving vacation, William 'Butler,' assistant dean of men said today.
Dr. Butler said the object of the 1,000 questionnaires is to obtain information about the men's adjustment to university life in financial, employment, housing, academic, extracurricular, religious, and student service matters.

Prof. Lind and Frederick Hard, president of Scripps College, will make up the subcommittee of the Committee on Qualifications for the inspection.
First Section Of Jayhawker Due Monday
The fall issue of the 1957 Jayhawker will be distributed in organized houses Saturday and Sunday and will be available in the information booth Monday and Tuesday, Steve Schmidt, Salina senior and business manager, said today.
The new system of distribution in houses will be a convenience for students, Schmidt said. The book will also be available in the information booth for a few days after publication and then in the Jayhawk office in the Union.
Connie Cloyes, El Dorado senior and editor, said the first issue has pictures of all freshmen and new students living in organized houses. There are also articles about schools of the University and feature pictures of campus life.
The cover picture is of "Uncle Jimmy Green," the statue in front of Green Hall, and it was designed by Brent Kington. Topeka senior.
This is the first time in several years that the fall issue will be distributed before Thanksgiving. The second issue is scheduled for publication before Christmas vacation.
The Jayhawk is in five sections. a binder and four magazines, issued through the year. The entire book must be purchased.
Dean-For-A-Day To Be Interviewed
Dean-for-a-Day Marilyn Mundon, Coffeville senior, and Joy Immer, Kirkwood, Mo., senior and AWS president, will be interviewed on "News-makers" at 6:30 tonight on KUOK.
Miss Immer will answer questions about the activities of AWS and All Women's Day, held Tuesday.
Interviewers will be Ruth Daniels, St. Francis junior; Ardeth Nieman, Independence, Kan., junior and John Branigan, Kansas City, Mo., senior. The moderator is Bill Harmon, Topeka senior.
Deans-For-A-Day Take Over Jobs
Maybe Marilyn Mundon will have those closing hours extended. Miss Mundon, Coffeyville senior, chosen Tuesday as Dean-for-a-Day at the All Women's Day election, began her duties at 8 a.m. today, aided by assistant Dean-for-a-Day Kay Davis, Kansas City, Mo., senior.
"Opportunities for chemists today are much better than in the '30's." Dr. Arthur Davidson, professor of chemistry said today. In the 1930s, a man with a Ph.D. would get a job paying up to $2,500 a year. Now it is quite different.
According to Dr. Davidson, the chemistry department has a steady stream of chemical industries asking to interview students. Such companies as Phillips, Conoco, Standard Oil of Ohio, Bell Telephone, and Dow Chemical have already visited the campus.
'Today Chemist Has Opportunity'
Asked how important is a man who knew or had done some work in catalysis of acids and bases, Dr. Davidson said, "Catalysis plays a part in a number of industries. We use catalysis in synthesis of ammonia toward the end process of manufacturing nitrogen fertilizer. We use it in the petroleum industry to get better grades of gasoline. Its also used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber."
Dr. Davidson said as far as industries are concerned there is no direct application, since most industrial labs, in addition to industrial research, will carry on general research.
"However," Dr. Davidson said, "you never can tell what you can get until you're actually out on the job itself."

DEAN FOR A DAY—Marilyn Mundon, Coffeyville, and Kay Davis, Kansas City, Mo., both seniors, outline the duties of their short-term
executive positions. Miss Mundon (right) is Dean-for-a-Day, and Miss Davis is her assistant.
- Miss Mundon was chosen by Gamma Phi Beta sorority to run for the post, and Miss Davis represents Alpha Chi Omega.

Speaks At Convocation
At the All Women's Day convocation Tuesday, Mrs. Kate Hevner Mueller, professor of education at Indiana University, spoke on "Women in Political Action."
"There will always be a demand for the educated women to do the world's work." Prof. Mueller said.
The best way for a woman to begin, Prof Mueller explained, is to join some organization. She particularly recommended the League of Women Voters, which she described as "extremely democratic," the Business and Professional Women's Club, the American Assn. of University Women, and federated women's clubs.
Cites Two Advantages
Prof. Mueller said there are two advantages to be gained from women working in politics—the advantages for our society and for the individual woman.
"By being interested in the work of various civic and government organizations, one may become a better member of society and may help others to vote intelligently."
Traveling and meeting other people "makes you a more interesting person," she said.
She suggested ways the college girl can become a world citizen. "You can take government courses." she said. "You must read the newspaper, get into college activities, and take a realistic point of view."
After Mrs. Mueller's talk, forum discussions and a picnic supper were held. A vocal quintet, Martha Crowley, Pittsburg sophomore; Bonnie Dinsmore, Oklahoma City, Okla., Sheila Nation, Chanute, Beverly Runkle, Pittsburgh, juniors, and Merrilyn Coleman, Lawrence senior, announced the Dean-for-a-Day and her assistant in a song.
Well, Tell Us-What Number Is He?
The yelling crowd jumped to its feet, the hot dog vendors ignored their customers and turned to watch the field. The Jayhawkers were on the 5-yard line trying for the all-important touchdown that would put them ahead of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
At this crucial moment the spectators cheered the team with a rousing yell, "Come On Big Red."
A young coed nudged her date and whispered, "What number is Big Red?"
Weather
Strong northerly winds, snow and blowing snow warning northwest and extreme west. Cloudy and turning colder with increasing northerly winds east portion. Low tonight 15 northwest to 40's southeast. High Thursday 20's northwest to 30'S east.
