M.S.C. Decides To Prohibit Smoking: Bill Is Same as Women's
The Men's Student Council has night voted to prohibit smoking on the first and second floors of Frank Strong hall and in "all buildings presenting a definite fire hazard at the University of Kansas."
By a vote of 11 to 4, the Council approved the smoking bill after five amendments left only the enacting section. The bill was placed a wholesale ban on smoking.
The M.S.C. action places men under exactly the same restrictions that
the W.S.C.A. laid down for women last Tuesday night. If the bill is published Wednesday morning "according to the constitution" it will become effective a week from Friday The Bill As Approved
The bill, as amended and finally approved, follows:
"Smoking shall be prohibited on the first and second floors of Frank Strong hall and in all buildings where there is hazard at the University of Kansas.
"The president of the M.S.C. shall appoint members of the Council to serve on a committee to determine which buildings present a fire hazard.
"Receptacles shall be provided in buildings where smoking is permitted.
"Receptacles shall be used where provided.

President Mullen said the section which states that "receptacles will be used where provided" means that failure to place cigarette butts in the receptacles would contain a violation of the bill and subject the guilty man to trial and sentence. The bill was delayed last night when the M.S.C. committee would meet to decide what buildings are "definite fire hazards."

City of Flint To Run Blockade
★ American Crew Held Prisoners Aboard Freighter Bound for Germany
Copenhagen, Denmark, Oct. 39—(UP) The captured American freighter City of Flint, with the Nazi swastika flying from her mast, steamed out of the Norwegian port of Tromsø late today, headed to a German port through perilis of Great Britains naval blockade.
Captain Joseph A. Gainard and his American crew of 40 men were prisoners aboard their ship as it set out to run the gantle of British warships in the North Sea with a command, Tromsoon dispatches said.
The City of Flint put out into a rainy and heavy sea at 4 p.m., supposedly heading down the Skagerrak, where it infiltrated waters of the Danish straits.
The City of Flint, captured in the Atlantic Oct. 9 by the sea-raiding German pocket battleship Deutschland, arrived in Tromsø shortly after noon today from the Russian port of Murmansk on the Arctic coast. The city was only until Soviet authorities turned it back to the German prize crew.
The American ship, putting in a second appearance at Tromsø since its capture, came into the Norwegian port under the Nazi flag and asked Norwegian authorities to send him there that summaries were needed.
It was suggested that the Nazi prize crew might be attempting to land Captain Gaimard and his crew at some neutral Scandinavian port, after which they could maneuver the captured vessel as they desired in trying to evade the British naval blockade.
See Prospect Of Cooperative Book Store
It was presumed that, after leaving Tromsoe, the Nazi prizewere would head for a German port in defiance of the British blockade after following Norwegian territorial waters as far as possible.
- Pachacoamoc Member Invents Surprise Bill at Close of Men's Student Council Meeting
A cooperative bookstore became a possibility last night as the Men's Student Council heard a bill to give 15 cents from every activity fee to a cooperative bookstore fund. This would mean that approximately 4,500 students would pay 30 cents yearly for a cooperative bookstore and would give the store a working fund of $1,350.
The bill was introduced in closing minutes of the meeting by John Oakson, c. 50, Pachacamaca, and came to a conclusion at the Council. **Reserve Fund** of $192702
Oakson pointed out that there was an activity reserve fund of $1,492.70 last July 1 and that this fund could well be used for the project. Similar attempts in the past were killed by the Board of Reevaluation and that the new board might be more lenient on the issue.
Should the measure pass the Council, it would be up to the W.S. G.A. to take final action. The activity fund is under joint control of both men's and women's councils. A P.S.G.l.motion by Russell Mosse<sup>30</sup>, referred the bill to the cooperative committee of the Council.
When Pachacamac's proposal for election cleanup came before the body, a motion by Mosser to strike out the enactment clause of the bill headed. This has the effect of killing the political reform bill altogether.
Foreign Language Exam Results Out This Week
In considering this proposal David Whitney, c'42, read Councilmen the results of the Pachacamac poll last week which showed that students favored the cleanup measure. The Pachacamac bill would limit house-to-house campaigning to a 7-day period and cut campaign literature to a statement of position and can- didates.
When P.S.G.L. Councilmen hinted that the poll was not accurate, Oak-son offered to conduct another poll under joint P.S.G.L. - Pacachamac sponsorship. A motion made by Pacachamac to ask the Kanan to assist in this poll was defeated by the P.S.G.L. majority.

Gentlemen's Agreement Ends School Feud
★ First Truce Between Kansas State and University Signed in 1929; Councils Now Have Understanding
A wedding may have broken up Martin-Coy feud but it was stricter-strictly a "gentleman's agreement" that ended paint-daubing and head-shaving wars between K-Slaters and University men.
In 1929 the first truce between the two schools was signed. Before that it was the custom to form marauding expeditions and daub the other Campus with paint before the annual football game. Heads were shaved, clothing torn, and paint liberal spread over each Campus.
When, in 1936, the "gentlemen's agreement" seemed inadequate and rivalry again flared, men's student advisers and student councilmen from both school metros and met that any offender would receive "serious punishment" from his own school. First case under the law was in 1937 when six University students, caught on the K-State grounds, were fine $44.30 by the Student Supreme Court here.
The paet which is now in effect between the two schools is:
"AN AGREEMENT entered into by the Men's Student Council of the University of Kansas, and the Student Council of Kansas Agricultural College, on behalf of their students, that they forever all manner of school rights and pre-game activities between the two schools.
"WHEREAS: These fights and activities have grown to such proportions in the last few years that the friendly relations of the two institutions are in danger; that unpleasant publicity results to each school; that there is serious danger of grave injuries; that property is damaged and ruined.
"WHEREAS: To avoid such serious results the above named Men's Student Councils covenant and agree on the part of each institution that this shall constitute a formal treaty, calling to a close all such rights and activities, to be in effect henceforth and forever, and binding all Student Councils in the future to recognize and enforce the said treaty.
"WHEREAS: If from time to time various members of either student body in violation attempt to carry on, or do carry on, such fights and activities, the Student Council of the institution the said students represent agrees to mute out serious punishment for such violations, that the dignity and intent of this document may be preserved."

Fraternity Roof Burned in Blaze; Loss Unknown
Although the amount of damage was unknown last night, flames destroyed the roof above the storage room and in spots over adjacent halls.
The fire originated in a storage room in the south wing of the third floor. The other two fires were small ones which originated in the bathroom closets, one Sunday night and one last Wednesday night.

Charles Curry, c.41, Phi Delt president, said nearly all luggage stored in the trunk room was destroyed. A number of blankets and towels were also burned.
Double-features came to the campus of the University when Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones"; and William Sarayan's "My Heart in the Highlands" were presented on stage of Fraser theatres last month.
The curtain-raiser was "The Emperor Jones", a dramatic monologue featuring Lorenzo Fuller, 'f4, 40; the Emperor He was aided by: Rolla Nuckles, as Smithers, a cockney trader; Neil Halliday, ed'43; a native chief; Warner Littlejohn, 'c40; a witch-door who executed an intricate and ghastly dance; Louisa Horse, 'c42 as a native woman

The program notes listed the "Jones" piece as a "tragedy of fear" and as a bit of impressionistic drama it doubles His its value. Last night's reenactment revealed that there is lots of dramatic talent among the negro students of the Campus; that their peculiar gifts are adaptable to such a theatrical carriage.
Not the least of the attractions of this play were the trees of the forest which the stage crew had created.
Rolla Nuckles, of the department of speech and dramatic art, directed the O'Neill bit, and as far as we can see, directed it well.
But "My Heart's in the Highlands was the high spot of the evening's entertainment. It seemed to achieve fully what "The Emperor Jones" attempted—a strikingly new method of dramatic expression. And let us warn future spectators of the play to enter into the spirit of the thing. It must be done to enjoy it.
William Saroyan (pronounced *Sar-ian*) has written an epic if ever one was and its presentation last night was worthy of it. Most interesting character of the plot probably was the boy Johnny, played by Laurence Musick, a young Lawyer in New York City who out in a manner we think a boy out

Jack O'Hara, c42, discovered the fire while the men were eating at about 6:30. When the trucks arrived, the fire had spread to the roof and was gutting the south third floor rooms.

Keast is returning when glass, shattering from a skylight, struck him. He was treated at Watkins Memorial hospital.
Flight training in the University's aeronautical classes will begin about Nov. 10, according to a report received from the Civil Aeronautics Department of Proof EI Hay, department of mechanical engineering, yesterday.
Flight Training To Start Nov.10
The delay in this phase of the air school study is due to the many requirements on the flying facilities that must be checked by the government before flight instructions can be given. Checking of these requirements $w_{as}$ completed last week and the government is ready to grant permission for the start of this training.
Forty-eight students are active in the ground work study and are eligible to start the air instructions. Some of the original applicants have dropped out and others have applied for their positions. The active number is still short of the quota of 63.
The flying instruction in this school will be given in five new Aeronica planes powered with 65-horsepower motors.
Designers Will Exhibit At Cornhusking Event
