Hill Barbwire Fences May Go
Barbwire fences are due to disappear from campus grounds, according to plans now being put into operation to construct a series of landscape pictures and beautify the unbecoming spots of the campus. The barbed wire borders will be replaced by barrier shrubs, said Donald Durell, instructor of botany and co-planner of this campus project.
The first of a series of the landscape pictures to be built is now underway just south of Spooner-Thayer museum. The sidewalks are being torn up and new rounded steps are being put in place of old ones. These new steps are less dangerous than the sharp steps and are more picturesque because they do not protrude above the level of the grass. The wall is being extended on south and this plot will be landscaped with evergreen, shrubs, and grass.
The round-cornered steps were planned by Poco Fraser, sculptor and Professor Durell. The steps were first constructed in full size models in clay.
The plan is to build landscape pictures throughout the campus. Pictures have been taken of certain bare spots and after these spots have been landscaped other pictures will be taken to show the improvement in appearance of these places on the campus.
All flower beds will be changed and planted with permanent flowering shrubs which will be in full bloom in the spring and fall. This will do away with the constant digging up and replanting of the flower beds.
In the bare parking in front of Snow hall ground covers which are green all the time will be planted instead of the trampled, dead grass, as an experiment.
These landscape pictures have been planned to beautify the bare spots on the campus.
Y.W.-Y.M. Hear War Discussion
The three Christian attitudes toward the War were discussed before a large group at the first Y.W.C.A.-Y.M.C.A. membership assembly held this year in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon.
Those participating in the panel discussion were Hilden Gibson, instructor in political science and sociology; Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion; and Rev. J. E. Bowers of the Trinity Episcopal church.
Miss Roberta Tucker, new Y.W. C.A. secretary, was introduced by Jean Stouffer, president of the organization. Plans are being made for the next Membership assembly to be held about the first of December.
The British fighting plane Defiant has twenty-one guns. There is a hydraulically turned turret firing four machine guns; fourteen machine guns in the wings close to the fuselage; two cannons synchronized with the propeller, and a third cannon firing thru the propeller shaft. The plane has a top speed of 350 miles an hour.

As Other Countries View The Election
Although vaguely aware of the international questions hanging in the balance of yesterday's election, few Americans, middle-westerners at least, realized with what intensity the whole globe watched the ticker tapes for an American presidential decision.
Rome-Berlin-Tokyo and assorted satellites looked for some indication of a weakening in the firm stand taken by the United States under President Roosevelt. Great Britain and her allies looked wishfully for a reaffirmation of these policies.
The following dispatches from foreign capitals indicate with what sentiments the election decision was received in the various countries:
London, Nov. 6.—(UP)—Britons, rejoicing over the apparent election victory of President Roosevelt, "our old and trusted friend," said today that the United States had dealt a powerful blow against Adolph Hitler.
Hailing President Roosevelt's indicated election victory as a sign that the tide was turning against world tyranny, British newspapers called him "The United States Churchill" today in expressing their joy.
Berlin, Nov. 6. — (UP) — Government spokesmen refused comment on the American presidentail election today and un-official quarters declined comment.
"From the beginning of the campaign we regarded the election as purely a United States domestic affair," a Nazi informant said. "Unless the election result tends to affeet European affairs directly continue to be relatively unimportant to us."

It was believed that there might be some comment after official quarters had studied the full returns.
Rome, Nov. 6.—(UP)—Virginio Gayda, commenting upon the reelection of President Roosevelt, wrote in the authoritative newspaper Giornale D'Italia today that it is difficult to distinguish between United States intervention in the war and so-called benevolent neutrality.
Italians expressed pessimism over the future of German and Italian relations with the United States as result of Mr. Roosevelt's election victory.
Tokyo, Nov. 6.—(UP)—Japanese expressed disappointment today at the indicated re-election of President Roosevelt, believing that it was an endorsement of his firm policy toward Japan.
Chungking, Nov. 6.—(UP)—High Chinese officials and leaders of the American colony cheered today at a reception at which news of President Roosevelt's re-election was read.
There had been hope that a change of administration might mean a re-orientation of American Far Eastern policy. No prospect was foreseen here of an alleviation of strained relations.
