Wheeler Predicts Japanese Failure
Wheel Cycle Theory Works Again
"Japan is repeating its own history," Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler, head of the department of psychology, observed yesterday avering that "the behavior of Japan in the present crisis is true to form in relation to the present position on the climatic cycle."
"It is comforting to know," Dr. Wheeler said, "that Japan has never failed to split open in civil war after her aggressions, as has every other nation."
"For us right now," he continued, "it isn't a question of "whether" but exactly "when." Many factors other than the position in the cycle would have to be known before the exact date of breakdown could be predicted."
Dr. Wheeler holds in his theory that governments rise and fall on the cycles of climatic change.
There is no fixed length for the cycles but it is a multiple of a single sunspot period of 11.3 years. Dr. Wheeler contends that there are two great war epochs. One is on the change from a cold period to a warm one and after getting on the warm side, war epoch No. 1 takes place. It is the nation-building kind where the national spirit is on the upswing and governments are relatively democratic
The other war epoch, No. 2, breaks out on the warm side but occurs on opposite climatic transition, from warm to cold period. Here governments have become excessively centralized, despotic, and decayed. There is a falling curve of national spirit instead of a rising one, just before a breakdown into a civil war epoch. The civil war epoch stretches across the cold phase of the cycle.
Since the official beginning of Japanese history in the sixth century, A.D., Dr. Wheeler believes Japan has been far more aggressive during War epoch No. 2 than during No. 1. In other words, this country always reached the maximum of its imperialism, such as it was, during transition from warm to cold, while the majority of the worst wars in the Occident have broken out during the opposite transition.
Dr. Wheeler has plotted 204 engagements of international character involving Japan from her beginning in the sixth century to the present. Out of this number only 72 have occurred during war epoch No.1 while almost twice that number, 132, have occurred during war epoch No. 2, the type we are now passing through.

Top Ticket Vendors Win Cold Cream
Fresh out of cold cream? Is your face wrinkled? Do you suffer from dry skin? Here is the solution:
Five pounds of cold cream, wafing the sweet domestic odor of honey and attractively packaged in quarter-pound jars will be the prize extended to the girls' house which sells the most tickets to the benefit show, "Nothing But the Truth" starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard, beginning today at the Jayhawker.
L. L. Boughton, associate professor of pharmacy, will manufacture the cold cream. The cream, a product created by Boughton, has no "high sounding" name—it has no artificial, superficial, perfume—only the natural odor of the honey bee. The deliciously whipped emulsion will be awarded on the basis of number of tickets sold per house in proportion to occupancy.
The ticket sale is being sponsored by the American Legion and other civic organizations. Tickets may be obtained from the Chamber of Commerce.

"Rock Chalk Jayhawk, K.U." was composed by the late Dr. E. H. S. Bailey in 1886.

Geological Survey Reports Gas Waste In Kansas Oil Pools
Stewart and Jim Gillie, junior in the School of Business, represented the University at the tournament and won the negative division of the meeting. Having a schedule of eight debates, the team won five out of seven. Professor Buehler has not received a report on the other contest.
To provide a working basis for the development of improved means of operation and regulation of the Otis gas and oil pool, a bulletin has been published by the Kansas Geological Survey in collaboration with the Engineering Experiment Station.
This meeting at Texas University is classed as the most important debate meeting in which the University participates. Among the other contestants in the invitational debates were Texas U., Oklahoma U., Louisiana U., Southern Methodist, and Texas Christian.
Entitled "The Otis Gas and Oil Pool, Rush and Barton Counties, Kansas," the bulletin has been prepared by Eugene Stephenson, chairman of the department of petroleum engineering, and John Moore, petroleum engineer of the Kansas Geological Survey.
