While the basic stand of both major parties is really the same, the popular conception is that the Republicans want to put the amendment to a vote and that the Democrats want repeal right now and get it over with. The truth is that neither party could legalize the sale of liquor in Kansas until late in 1948. First, two-thirds of all members of each house of the state legislature must approve the proposed amendment. Then, the proposal must be submitted, at the next election of representatives, to the voters for approval or rejection. The next election of representatives won't be until 1948. It's as simple as all that. No matter which party gets control of the legislature, Christmas eggnogs will be illegal for at least the next two years.-R.T.K. Yell Or No? The traditions convoitation from 4 to 5 p.m. today will offer proof to the administration of the wisdom of cancelling scheduled activities such as basketball practice for a student pep rally. If the interest shown by the students is not sufficient to make the rally a success few such activities will be permitted in the future. The convocation has been organized in response to complaints about the energy and variety of yells in the cheering section at football games. If the complaints are to be believed, many students are unhappy about the situation. Today is the time they can take some positive action about it—one way or the other. Ten years ago—A Halloween special at the Union fountain was pumpkin pie a la mode—and only 10 cents. (From the files of the Daily Kansan.) Lescher's Shoe Shop Phone 256 812 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Mass. Lochner Loosens Up After Speech, Tells Anecdotes Of Nazi Era Once the speech is over, the real fun begins. At least, that was the sequence Wednesday, after Louis P. Lochner, former Associated Press chief in Berlin, finished his Community Lecture series address in Hoch auditorium. He went to lunch with Raymond C. Nichols, K.U. executive secretary at the Union. ○ And immediately, he loosened up with some off-the-cuff anecdotes of the past two or three decades. *** His main sparring partner was Prof. Waldemar Geltch, Fine Arts violin teacher. He and Mr. Lochner talked music. The other guests listened. "I remember Franz Lehar once told me about the way he composed," the newsman related. "He said his studio was on a hill, overlooking a place where beautiful women used to bathe. "They were very comely, too," Lehar reported. "Every time I would start composing. I would grow a long beard—so that if I ever felt the urge to stop my music and go down to visit the ladies I would feel my stubby beard, and say to myself that no, these ladies would have nothing to do with an old bum like me." There was another story about Albert Einstein, "whose violin playing probably has been exaggerated—it was more like scratching," as Mr. Lochner put it. *** "I remember Einstein getting on a street car in Berlin during the inflationary period just after the first World War." he recounted. "That day I had exchanged one American dollar for 42 trillion marks, so you can imagine what the inflation was like. "Anyway, Einstein got on the street car, handed the conductor a huge sheaf of bills—something like five million marks for a ride, and then the conductor counted out another handful of change. "You have short-changed me, Einstein told the conductor. "And so they counted it all over again. "It turned out that the conductor was right, and when Einstein got off at the next corner, the conductor turned around to the other passengers, tapped his finger on his head, and said: "You know, that fellow ought to learn mathematics." Nazi fanaticsism had reached such a point just before America entered the war that when Mr. Lochner attended a Mozart music festival in Austria, he heard a speaker say. A few months before the war started, Fritz Kreisler, world-re- renowned violinist, went to see the AP newsman in Berlin. "The brave German boys who are falling on our war fronts are all dying for Mozart." "This is my most treasured possession," he told Mr. Lochner. "Keep it for me until after the war—my house may be subject to search." It was a beautifully finished Chinese scroll, and was left in Mr. Lochner's house when he came home from Berlin. *** After V-E day, the American went A bomb had dropped through five stories of it, carrying antiques, chinaware, and sterling silver into a basement rubbish pile. back to Berlin, and found what remained of the house. But the bomb hadn't exploded. The scroll was intact, and went to Mr. Kreisler recently in New York. It took Professor Geltch to add the finishing touch. He was telling stories of musicians he had known, and had started one about a jazz player whose name he couldn't recall immediately. "Let's see, now, what was his name," the professor mused. "Oh, yes, now I remember," he went on. "It was Jazzman-Paul Jazzman, the fat fellow who has the band." Music, Book Review In Union Tomorrow A book review and program of piano selections will be given at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Union, sponsored by the social committee of the All Student Council. This program has been arranged as a part of an expansion program of social facilities for students on weekend nights.
