To Evaluate Government Week
The All Student Council will evaluate its Government Week Program in a meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Pine Room of the Union.
Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior and ASC chairman, said the council would also hear the second reading of a proposed amendment. The amendment would prevent the filling of ASC vacancies occurring within eight weeks of a general election until after the election.
The amendment is designed to prevent "packing" the council with potential candidates for student body president just before elections. Under the constitution, candidates must have served on the ASC to be eligible to run.
The council will also discuss the possibility of selecting a candidate for queen of the Drake Relays, Patterson said. The ASC has received a letter from the Drake Relays Committee asking KU to enter a candidate if they wish.
Displays, Displays
Cafeteria Shows European Works
Displays of articles and literature from Russia, France, Germany and Spain have been arranged in the Kansas Union Cafeteria show windows by the Student Union Activities display committee.
Hand work, books, maps and a 3-stringed instrument are part of the display. The items are shown, according to Mary H. Clark, Kansas City, Mo. junior and display chairman, to arouse interest in foreign culture. She said it is hoped that the display will promote the use of the four foreign language tables in the cafeteria.
A balalaika, a small triangular musical instrument, a linen shirt and enameled eating utensils—all made in Russia—are featured in one window. The items were borrowed from Sam F. Anderson, instructor of Russian and German.
Mr. Anderson said the instrument is used for accompaniment and solos. The two lower strings have the same tone. The neck is narrow to allow the fingers to reach around easily. It is played with the fingers and thumb.
Spoons and ladles found in most Russian homes are included in the display. They are hand carved and designed from lacquered wood. Books and magazines from the Union Book Store and the Russian department are also used.
A long linen shirt, a rulashka, is also shown. Mr. Anderson said it is belted and worn on the outside of trousers. He paid $44 for it in Russia where it is the common dress shirt. He said Russian wives do delicate embroidery work around the neck and sleeves.
The display for other countries includes travel folders, menus, post cards, newspapers, magazines and water color prints.
To Hear AUFS Speaker
Dr. James G. Maddox, visiting American Universities Field Staff expert on Mexico, will speak to the History Club at 7 p.m., Wednesday in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union. He will discuss Mexican nationalism.
National Library Week Observed
Watson Library will observe National Library Week March 16-22 with a display, "Other Voices-Other Worlds," featuring literature from foreign countries.
Novels, essays, poems and textbooks will be in the show cases on the first and second floors.
Robert L. Quinsey, assistant library director, said the international display was planned to acquaint students with books from other lands.
Two visiting librarians, Miss Gladys Johnston, from England, and Miss Jill McLean, from Australia, are arranging the exhibit. Books from England, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Italy and Japan are included in the display. Books on foreign culture published in this country will also be shown.
The third in a series of engineering colloquiums will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday in 109 Marvin Hall. Dennis H. LeCroissette, assistant professor of electrical engineering, will speak on "Education in England."
Mr. Quinsey said most of the books would be available for reading when the week is over.
Vermont with 1/400th of the nation's population produces 10 per cent of the nation's machine tools, 40 per cent of its structural and monumental marble, 96 per cent of its asbestos and 33 per cent of its monumental granite.
To Hold Colloquium
Marcel Proust's Writings Shown
The vast novel recounts the hero's life (believed to be Proust himself) and various social circles in which he moved. It has no plot in the usual sense, but is closely woven together by recurrence of the same character and theme.
Illustrations explaining the life and work of the French Novelist, Marcel Proust, will be displayed in the Watson Library main lobby through March and part of April.
The exhibit includes photographs, sketches, biographical notes and photostats of original manuscripts.
Miss Helen Patch, visiting professor of Romance languages, is organizing the exhibit from materials sent by the division of cultural services of the French consular office in New York.
Robert L. Quinsey, assistant director, said that although Proust (1871-1922) wrote only one book, he is considered the greatest novelist in modern French literature. The English translation of the book, written in two volumes, is "Remembrance of Things Past." It consists of seven cycles.
Maddox To Speak Tuesday
Dr. James G. Marrox of the American Universities Field Staff will speak at the luncheon meeting of the Human Relations Discussion Group at noon Tuesday in 11 Strong.

Wings Over The Campus
Jayhawk Awaits Flight With Used Airplane
The 12-member Jayhawk Aerial Club bought a used airplane in November, rebuilt it, and is now waiting for favorable weather to rev up the propeller and fly into the blue.
The Jayhawk, long accustomed to maneuvering on the ground, is making another effort to get into the air.
Revived in 1947
Student flyers have been winging around the campus and Lawrence since as early as 1924. when a glider club was organized.
Flying clubs, dormant during World War II, were revived in 1947 and reached a popularity peak in 1950 when a former Powers model was hired to instruct students.
This first glider club was followed by others and in 1937 an airplane was acquired for student flight instruction.
The present group, the Jayhawk Aerial Club, is student sponsored and financed.
"The plane is for the members to do what they please with," said Edward L. Martin, Kansas City, Mo. senior and vice-president of the club. "We fly any time we can."
The airplane is a two-place Aeronca Chief painted yellow with blue trim.
Club members take lessons from an instructor at the Lawrence airport. Group ownership of the plane decreases the cost of the lessons.
Five Are Licensed Pilots
五 Are Licensed Pilots
Main said he believed five of the members are licensed pilots and the rest are still working on the qualifications.
Ownership of the airplane will remain with KU students in the future through a plan of buying
