Late night is set for Homecoming
In past years late night permitted KU women to stay out one hour past regular closing time with the purchase of a 50-cent SMOP (Scholarship Money Our Purpose) ticket.
A special homecoming late night will be held this Saturday for all KU women in organized living groups, the Associated Women Students (AWS) announced Monday.
This year AWS is requesting junior, senior and graduate women to buy SMOP tickets as a donation to the AWS Memorial Scholarship Fund, although due to the new closing policy, only freshman and sophomore women will actually need the tickets in order to stay out till 2 a.m. Sunday.
Late night will probably be the only source of income this year for the scholarships which go each spring to KU women selected on the basis of grades, activities and need. Six $250 scholarships were awarded last year. A total of 37 have been given since the fund was started in 1948.
The Student Labor Organization (SLO) will meet at 8 p.m. tonight in Parlor A of the Kansas Union.

Representatives of all interested campus groups, including the Civil Rights Council (CRC), the ASC Human Rights Council (HRC) and campus ponucal parties will attend the open meeting, according to Mike Youngblood, Shawnee Mission junior and president of SLO.

When it comes to politics,is big business a Mugwump?
Some sharp tongues define "mugwump" as a political animal with his "mug" on one side of the fence, his "wump" on the other. Clearer heads claim it a stamp of independence. The definition and corporate stance Western Electric takes is strictly nonpartisan.
But nonpartisan as WE must be, we recognize that, to be an effective citizen, the individual must become a political partisan. And it means being more active than just showing up at the polls. So we do our best to encourage our 170,000 people to express their political leanings - in whatever direction.
We do it by sponsoring a "Democracy in Action" program that takes no sides, but explores all angles. WE people - white collar, blue collar - lead it. Long before elections, courses are given at WE locations. Background subjects include such Soc. and Eco. considerations as -The Persistent Problem of
Unemployment...The Negro's Long Struggle .. America's Balance of Payments. Booklets are handed out that answer questions like: "How can I get started in politics? How can I use my talents to serve my party?"
Before elections, Back Your Party rallies are held. Bunting and posters hung. Politicians from both national parties are invited to speak. A dialogue develops.
Thousands of WE people participate. It stirs up their political juices. Helps make them better informed, ergo; better citizens.
As a national company, in the Bell System to make ever-better communications equipment, we believe such basic communications are vital. It's also fun!
