Cokeless Varsity Opens Social Season
Collegians Get Color In Their Clothes
Although they will not admit it most men, and especially college men, are interested in clothes and fashions. They may not be able to tell you what length skirts are this year but they are quick to discuss collar and shirt styles.
Secretly all men love color and the college man is the least adverse to it. This year he is able to wear it to his heart's content in his socks, muffler, and mittens.
Most seaviles are soft woolly ones in the brightest of colors. Maroon, navy blue, and black have been replaced by bright yellow, powder blue, scarlet, green and tan. They may be solid colors or plaids and checks equally bright and warm.
According to the college man, the louder the socks the better. Plains and horizontal stripes are the favorites. Reds, yellows, whites and brown lead the plaid field while horizontal stripes come in different colors and the width of the stripe is a matter of personal opinion.
Stripes have crept into sport coats. Most of the new jackets are of shetland with a light basic background and the stripes are in shades of brown, blue, and gray, with some maroon and olive green. The coats, longer than last year's styles, are single breasted, three button models.
The corduroy or khaki hat is sweeping campuses all over the country. First seen in New Haven and Princeton, it has become such a favorite that women, attracted by its usefulness, are taking it up and it is predicted that they will soon be seen on as many co-eds as Joe Colleges. The new hats come in many colors and are worn in various ways.
The new fad for spring will be checks. Starting with the two tone check and the hound's tooth design in sports jackets, they are fast reaching out into scarves, mittens, socks, shirts, ties, and such accessories as belts and suspenders. Checks will come in all colors, but red and blue have the at lead at present.
All in all, it looks like a bright spring for the masculine side of the college population.
No Tuition For Exchange Students
Foreign students who attend the University or any Kansas school will be exempted from payment of semester fees according to a Board of Regents ruling which goes into effect for the first time this semester.
The Regents recently made this ruling with the proviso that a Kansas student be allowed to enroll in the corresponding foreign university with no tuition.
In case a Kansas student does not take advantage of the fee-free foreign education, however, the Regents ruled, it will not affect the exempt given to the foreign students here.
First Lady at Premiere
Guest of honor at the world's premiere of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," held at Washington, was Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, seen here with Raymond Massey, star of the Gordon-Goetz production adapted from Robert Sherwood's Pulitzer Prize play. The initial performance was for the benefit of the Newspaper Women's Club of Washington, and was attended by a distinguished official and diplomatic audience.
Seventy-Five Enroll In 'The Motion Picture'
More than 75 students had enrolled in the new motion picture course offered for the first time this semester at noon today. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, who will teach the course, expected nearly 100 by the end of enrollment this afternoon.
The course in which the films will be studied as an industry, a social force, and an art form, has been a pet desire of Professor Crafton for several years. Unexpectedly, his recent proposal for the class met with no opposition.
Fifteen movies will be shown during the term, according to Crafton. He will lead off with March of the
The remainder of the semester's work will include studies of foreign films, the great "Greed" of the 1820's, talkies, animated cartoons, and news reels.
Movies, a general survey. To show the development of the narrative film, six short films will be shown. This line of work will be completed with a showing and study of "Birth of a Nation."
Outstanding among films to be shown are: the uncensored "Love Parade" of 10 years ago; the crest of gang wave pictures, "Public Enemy No. 1," starring Jimmy Cagney; and Noel Coward's "Cavalcade."
Force Follows Prepaganda
Editor, Daily Kansan;
Having failed to bludgeon the brains of the students with their war propaganda, the reactionaries are now ready to call out the marines.
That is the meaning of the assault which has been launched against the American Student Union following the stand for peace it took at its recent convention.
fighting for "light and democracy," to condemn the steps of the Administration in destroying American neutrality and dragging the country into war, and to refuse to be rushed into joining the war hysteria being whipped up against the Soviet Union.
The "crime" committed by the A. S.U. convention was to refuse to accept Chamberlain's word that he is
Because the American student does not want to die in the trenches for imperialist greed, he is branded a "foreign agent." Because he has learned of the treachery of Woodrow Wilson, he is called a "Communist."
PROGRESSIVE.
Promised Jelly Joint Motif Doesn't Pan Out

The social wheel of the new semester was pushed under way last night with the opening varsity at the Memorial Union building ballroom.
The much advertised "coke" varsity turned out to be "cokeless" but the lack of beverages failed to stop the larger than av-
