No Resubmission Of Liquor Law Till'48-Carlson
Liquor won't come to dry Kansas any quicker with a Democratic governor than with a Republican one, Frank Carlson, Republican candidate for governor, told 350 University students in a Hoch auditorium rally Monday night.
Carlson, faced with a solid Republican majority in the state legislature, hinted that action might even come a little slower with a Democrat at the helm.
Carlson classed the problem of what to do to keep the 200,000 Kansas war veterans in the state as of greater importance than the resubmission of repeal.
He stuck to his platform to submit the question of repeal to a public vote in the November, 1948, elections.
"The people wrote the prohibitory amendment into the constitution and it's their right to decide if it should be struck out." he stated.
"Some persons believe," Carlson added, "that if a certain candidate is elected we'll have liquor stores in a few weeks. That's far from true."
Any attempt to pass repeal without a public vote is unconstitutional, he said.
"Only 20 percent of the veterans who came from farms are going back to them," Carlson stated, "and it's up to us to find jobs for the remainder to keep them from moving to other states."
He promised that the Republican administration would sponsor an agency to aid Kansas veterans, and that it would aid in the development of job-creating industries.
"Kansas has a great future in aviation," he said, "and it's a part of our platform to see that industry developed properly."
Other jobs, he said would be created by the Republican-sponsored roads program. Better roads, he added, would make possible the proposed consolidation of small country schools.
Carlson blamed "national confusion" for the lack of proper student housing. Washington, D.C., has 18 agencies and 400 million dollars to solve them, he said.
"We don't need agencies or sub-sidies to build houses in Lawrence," he said, "we need lumber and plumbing supplies."
He cited a return to a more decentralized form of government as the best way to prevent further "regimentation and control" and to release the needed items for consumer use.
"We need something like the old 'town hall' form of government," he said. Carlson added that this, in effect, could be accomplished by greater interest in local government.
The Young Republican club, sponsors of the rally, provided cars at the door to take students to the city hall, where the clerk was holding late hours to accept registrations.
Lunchroom Available In Frank Strong
Students bring their own lunch may eat in the west basement of Frank Strong hall, Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, said today.
Tables will be provided and will be reserved from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., he said.
Persons using the area for eating purposes are asked to deposit refuse in the G.I. cans located in the hall.
Cheerleaders Need Two Alternates
Two alternate cheerleaders will be chosen at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Memorial stadium. William Spicer, chairman of the traditions committee, will be in charge of tryouts.
Regular cheerleaders, Virginia Urban, Joan Woodward and Dorothy Scroggy, will serve as judges.
Speakers For Editors Meeting At University
These are the speakers who'll appear before the annual meeting of Kansas newspaper editors at K.U. Saturday morning. They are, left to right, Oscar Stauffer, Topeka publisher, and Tom Yarbrough, St. Louis chief of the Associated Press bureau. The meeting here is sponsored by the Journalism department.
Supreme Court Justice To Talk
Wiley Blount Rutledge, associate justice of the Supreme court of the United States, will lecture at K.U. Dec. 2, 3, and 4, Dean F. J. Moreau, of the Law school, announced today.
Justice Rutledge will fill the "Judge Stephens lectureship" of the K.U. School of Law, and will speak to law students, faculty, visiting lawyers, and others interested on the campus.
Subjects for Justice Rutledge's lectures have not been announced but under the terms of the lectureship they will deal with the essentials of free government and the duties and loyalties of citizens under such a government.
Funds for the lectureship, which Justice Rutledge is filling, are provided by the income from a $30,000 bequest by the late Kate Stephens, a member of the class of 1875. Her father, Judge N. T. Stephens was founder of the School of Law, in 1878, and the lectureship was established in his memory.
Under the terms of her will, Miss Stephens, who died in 1938, set up a revolving foundation under which she would fall twice every seven years.
Administering the foundation is a committee composed of F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, chairman; Harry R. Wahl, dean of the School of Medicine; Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; John H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate school; and Charles M. Baker, director of libraries at the University of Kansas.
Kate Stephens joined the faculty of the University of Kansas after her graduation from the Graduate school in 1878, and soon became a full professor of Latin and Greek. She was one of the first American women to achieve that academic rank. In 1885 she went to the east where she earned a high rank in the field of American literature. She died in Concordia in 1938.
The Judge Stephens lectureship cannot be filled by a citizen of Kansas nor be awarded more than twice to the same man. Miss Stephens inserted this provision in her will to prevent "an inbreeding of ideas."
Justice Rutledge's experience has carried him through residence in many states. He was born July 20, 1894, in Cloverport, Ky. As a young man he taught in high schools in New Mexico and Colorado. Later he taught law at the University of Colorado and at Washington University. Following a tenure as dean of the College of Law at the University of Iowa, he became associate justice of the United States court of appeals for the District of Columbia in 1939.
In 1943 he was appointed by the late President Roosevelt to be associate justice of the supreme court.
Author Tryouts Will Close Nov. 1
Open to any student in the University, the contest is held to select members of the Quill club and those with acceptable manuscripts will become pledges. Although limited to 30 members the Club has room for about 15 new ones this year.
Budding K. U. authors will have their chance in the annual Quill club try-outs which close Nov. 1, Prof. John E. Hankins, of the English department, said Monday.
Each entry must be submitted in three copies, bearing the entrant's name, address, and telephone number, and each students may enter a maximum of three manuscripts.
Traditionally, the local K. U. chapter of Quill club was founded in 1900. Charter members were students in a creative writing class of the late Prof. E. M. Hopkins. In 1914 a chapter was established at Kansas State and a national constitution adopted.
At this time the letters of the Old Norse Runic alphabet were adopted as symbols and the K. U, chapter of the American College Quill club was designated as the Feoh Rune Chapter. These Runes, occurring in Old English writing, are the earliest tuetonic letters and were chosen by Quill club to emphasize the Anglo-Saxon element of the language.

Carlson Is Relaxed, Polite In Sea Of Campaign Duties
By BILL HAGE
(Daily Kansan Managing Editor) If you like a nice quiet life by the fireside, don't run for governor in Kansas.
Frank Carlson, who hopes to live in the governor's mansion in Topeka next year, is a good object lesson to those who think campaigning isn't a rough deal even at its best.
Although obviously tired after a day which included shaking hands with more than 2,000 possible Republican voters in packing houses, serum plants, and other places in Topeka, the aspirant to the state's highest office was genial and in good spirits which meeting Republican party leaders Monday at a downtown hotel before his speech in Hoch auditorium.
A little later, while sitting at a restaurant table with his 19-year-old daughter, Eunice who is a K.U. psychology major, the well-built World War I veteran showed effects of the nervous strain he's been under for more than five weeks.
He toyed nervously with a diamond ring on the little finger of his left hand, abstractedly rubbed his face as if trying to make it relax, clenched his deep-sunken eyes tightly shut as if they bothered him. Once, just after sitting down, he bent nearly to the table, his jaw muscles tightened and his shoulders stiffened as if his nerves were getting the best of him.
A few minutes later, after sitting still and talking over his daughter's prediction of a "close election," he seemed perfectly relaxed and ready to start the merry-go-round again.
He listened attentively to K. U. Republicans who told him of campus viewpoints and then remarked he was not planning any oratory but was just "going to have a lot of fun."
Only once did he ask anything about students' particular needs. "What do they want here in the way of housing?" he asked and nodded when told apartments were the most pressing need.
