Turks Break Faith Nazis Declare
Berlin, Oct. 19, —(UW)—Germany tonight delivered an implied warning to Turkey after the latter's signing of a tri-factor pact with Great Britain and France and negotiated a closer collaboration with Russia.
Turkey, strategic ally of Germany in the world war, was said in an officially - inspired Nazi statement to have swerved away from her home in Europe, and that security in a manner that may bring severe repercussions in the Balkans.
Nazis said that Turkey's chief concern now must be what Russia's reaction will be to the signing of the pacts with Britain and France. The Turks have now come strongly under British influence, it was said
"It can be taken for certain that other states of the Balkar entente will see in Turkeys' attitude a re-punciation of the preservation of neutrality which is one of the most difficult states of the Balkar states," a statement asserted.
The decision of Turkey to enter into limited mutual assistance pacts with the allies, regarded as a rebuff to both Soviet Russia and Germany, served to increase Nazi support for obtaining further support from Russia for bringing the war to a speedy finish.
Prizes will be awarded for the champion hog-caller of the Campus Saturday night, Oct. 28. The contest will be held during internession of the barn dance in Robinson gymnasium.
University Hog Callers Will Compete at Dance

Robertson's Condition Improves
"Watchful waiting" seems to be the policy of P.S.G.L at present.
On the following evening the Women's Self-Governing Association meets to pass on an identical bill to regulate smoking by women.
The smoking question will be decided for men when the Men's Student Council meets Monday night. At that time the anti-smoking bill will pass either into law or into the ash can. The only thing that could delay action would be a proposed amendment to the bill. This would give the Council a breathing spell of two weeks.

After the banquet, roundtable discussions for all phases of engineering will be conducted by out-going engineers in Kansas and Nebraska.

- Four Desire Vice-Presidency and Two Secretaryship of Freshman Class
Only six women filed application yesterday to run for the vice-presidency or secretaryship of the freshman class. Four nonnives will head for vice-president and two for secretary, on election day, Nov. 2.
The small number of women aspiring for official heights was disappointing, the committee viewing the applicants said, although it coincides with the number running last year.
The following will be candidates in the coming election, vice-president, Jean Brock, Anne Lewis, Martha Anne Hall, and Betty Jenix; secretary, Ruth Moritz, and Anna Hoeffman.
A committee of five W.S.G.A. members interviewed the applicants at the Memorial Union building. All nominees were required to be taking their first semester in school, and carrying at least 12 hours of school work. The women serving on the committee were: Velma Milton, c'40; Mary Garrison, c'40; Maurine Gray, c'40; Maurine Mong, c'40; and Agnes Murert, c'42.
All freshmen women are eligible to vote in the election on Nov. 2. A special committee of the W.S.G.A. will be in charge of the voting, which will take place in the center of Frank Strong hall.
The officers elected will take their seats on the Council at the first meeting following the election.
Hinman Outlines Education Program To Sasnak Club
More than a hundred members of Sasuk, physical education majors, and special guests gathered in the Kanana room of the Memorial Union building last night to hear Strong Himman, director of physical education at the Kanana school, speak on qualifications of physical education teachers.
Hhimn advised that prospective teachers in the field of physical education strive to build high characters, that they develop pleasing personalities. He told Sasank members to show initiative. "We must be leaders if we expect to develop leaders," said Hhimn.
Max Replogle, president of the club, served as toastmaster and introduced the special guests of the evening. E.B. De Groot, new addition to the physical education faculty, was introduced.
Earlier in the program a group of eight students, working under the direction of Miss Jane Byrn, presented the Jayhawk version of the polka.
