Student directories will go on sale this weekend said Jim Davies, Dodge City senior and editor of the directory.
Directory Sale Begins Saturday
The directories will be distributed to all organized houses and will go on sale in the Student Union book-store Saturday. Monday they will be available at the information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard and at Bell Music Co. Directories will be sold downtown so that merchants and Lawrence residents may buy them, Davies said.
Copies for official use for each telephone on the campus will be free. They may be picked up in the registrar's office Monday.
Directories will be sold to both students and faculty. The reason for the cost this year is because the advertising sold covers only about half the expense of the directory.

Extinction Faces Man, Eiseley Says
BY DOUG PARKER (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
We Look To Past
Man continues to look to the past, he said, and is in danger of acquiring a feeling of inferiority about his past because it provides him with rationalizations for things undone, and dreams defeated.
Man may follow the road of the dinosaurs if he continues to confuse progress with his mechanical accomplishments, Dr. Loren C. Eiseley, chairman of the department of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, said Tuesday night.
Dr. Eiseley, speaking in a deep, sonorous voice, said man has made himself a great shell of "rockets, sputniks and cars with fins," and sees himself dwarfed within the shell.
Dr. Eiseley, speaking before a large audience at the second Humanities lecture, said that man is so occupied with the world he is creating that he has already lost a sense for what may be missing in his society.
He said man has been struggling upward in an agelong effort with his life shaped by the blind forces around him. Often he would be thrown back down the ladder of evolution, but always he started crawling back, he continued.
"It is a failure to see that the triumph of the machine, without an accompanying inner triumph, means an atavistic return to competition and extermination," Dr. Eiseley said.
"The enormous wealth now poured by modern governments solely into development of implements of war reveals a kind of Leviathan echo from the age of dinosaurs.
Tears Important
"If, in another 50,000 years, man can still weep, we will know humanity is safe. This is all we need to ask about the onrush of the scientific age.
"The answer to our evolution as men does not lie in Mars or anywhere else across the void or in the skies. It lies in our individual hearts" he said.
"Somewhere in the past, a group of apes, gross, brutal, violent-tempered and with a paucity of words, had started to act like men, and now they were men, but not far enough, not nearly far enough," Dr. Eiseley said.
"Pehaps we have lost our pride," he said, "for we are standing in a bog full of frightful temptations in the shape of glittering objects which we mistook for civilization, but real civilization is on farther and hard to reach."
Dr. Eiseley will conclude his stay here with a talk at the History Club at 7 tonight in the Student Union Jayhawk Room.
In four days at Watkins hospital only 76 Asian flu shots were given. This brings the total number of students who have taken flu shots to 4,303 still 2,697 short of The Daily Kansan goal of 7,000.

Deans For Day Reign At KU
Miss Taylor,Two Assistants Attend Classes For Students
Sophie Stathopoulos, Kansas City, Mo. senior, is serving as Dean For a Day today. She and her three assistant deans, Dee Daniels, Beloit, and Ellen Proudfit, Kansas City, Kan., seniors, and Barbara Bach, Kansas City Mo. freshman, have taken over the Dean of Women's office.
ASC Proposes Admission To 2 New Events
The All Student Council Tuesday night passed a resolution to recommend to the Athletic Board that students be admitted to the freshmen-varsity basketball game and Jayhawk Follies on identification cards.
The game and Follies will be Friday night, Nov. 22, as a part of Homecoming activities. Council members favoring the resolution said students should not have to pay to attend the game, because ID cards state that they provide admission to "all athletic events."
Several proposed amendments to ASC Bill No. 2 were heard. They will next be considered by the Committees and Legislation Committee.
To Abolish Forced Primary
One amendment would do away with the forced primary, whereby ballots are printed and distributed to the polling places for primary elections for a party which has entered no more candidates than will be nominated in the primary.
Under the proposed amendment the party involved could ask for a primary if it wanted to, but the primary would not be necessary as under the present rule.
Polling Hours Change Proposed
Another amendment would change poll hours from 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. to 8 a.m.-5 p.m. This was suggested because few students vote during the early and late hours.
ASC Bill No. 17, dealing with traffic and parking matters, also was heard by the Council.
The women were elected Tuesday during All Women's Day. They are performing the usual duties of Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, and Miss Peg Hardman and Miss Patricia Patterson, assistant deans of women. Miss Taylor, Miss Hardman and Miss Patterson have attended the women's classes.
Despite rain, which began about moon and continued the rest of the day, over 1,600 KU women attended at least part of the All Women's Day program. A group of women representing the Kansas State College AWS attended the meetings also.
Milling crowds filled the lobby of the Student Union between each of the four sequences of talks. The talks began at 1 p.m. with ddisclasts began at 1 p.m. with discussions dealing with personal fashion.
Wedding Interest
Weddings seemed to be upper-most in most of the women's minds. The group listening to a Kansas City, Mo. bridal consultant tell about wedding etiquette was one of the largest.
Little known facts about the University was the subject of the 2 p.m. sequence while the 3 p.m. one was devoted to the arts. At 4 p.m. faculty personalities talked informally in non professional capacities to the women.
1.600 Attend Buffet
Over 1,600 women were served at the buffet dinner. Housemothers of organized houses also attended the buffet and the historic bridal show which followed.
Included in the show of about 30 costumes were nightgowns, bridal gowns, trousseau dresses and dresses for the mother of the bride. The show showed the progression of bridal attire throughout the years with the oldest costume an 1820 nightgown and the newest being a present-day bridal gown. The gowns are owned by Mrs. Ben Page, Kansas City, Mo., who narrated the show.
In case of a nuclear attack in which the U.S.State Department personnel would be partially wiped out, Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, would be one of 60 men chosen to take over the duties of the department.
He's In The Reserves For State Department
Before he was, assigned to this position, Dr. Ketzel had to work out a plan with the University whereby
DR. CLIFFORD KETZEL
they would release him from his duties immediately in case of an enemy attack. He also had to agree to leave his family behind to carry out the assignment.
The national defense executive reserve program which Dr. Ketzel is participating in was established by executive order.
Dr. Ketzel left today for a 3-day orientation program in Washington D.C. He will inspect the relocation site where the members of the program will take over duties of the State Department in case of emergency. They would be given top priority transportation to the relocation center.
Orientation meetings are planned semiannually to keep the 60 members of the program informed on the latest government developments. They will also receive priority government information to keep them informed.
