Rehearsal schedules have been hampered by ineligibilities and difficulties in casting the part of "Johnny," an 11-year-old boy in "My Heart's in the Highlands," demand more time to put final touches on the two productions, Professor Crafton said. Laurence Musick, a junior high school student, is now to take the part of "Johnny" and rehearsals are again under way.

It is the story of a poet and his son who attempt to live beyond reality. Much of the time they are successful. But even a poet gets hungry and must descend to the very stark reality of having to buy groceries without the necessary cash. The cast, now complete, for "Emporer Jones" includes: Lorenzo Fuller, "Emperor Jones"; Rolla Maunchers, "Nuckitches"; Louise Harris, a native woman; Neil Holi- lday, "Lem"; Sidney Dawson, "Jeff"; Warren Littlejohn, a witch doctor; Marvin Moon, a prison guard; Lee Huddleston, an au- ctioneer; Lloyd Bell, the buyer; and the couples are: Stanley McLead and Reola Durand; Fred Blakemore and Margaret Ivy; and Jim Burdge and Eleom Crossland.

Lawson will preside. Faculty Will Vote Degrees Climatic conditions are not favorable for a prolonged world war, said Prof. Raymond H. Wheeler, chairman of the department of psychology here at the University, to a class yesterday morning. "The fighting now going on ought to bog down before it lasts very long." Professor Wheeler continued, "and civil rebellions should break out as a result of which our existingships would be democratized. Climatic Cycles Unfavorable For War, Says Wheeler Professor Wheeler bases his belief on six years of intensive research on the effect of climatic conditions or human behavior. Aided by assistants and NYA students, Professor Wheeler has prepared many colored maps, showing the general climate of the world, and the resulting mixtures and wars. The maps have been photographed and made into a film. Democracy, individualism, and strong demands for liberty appear during cold periods, while warm per- Demands for Liberty - Senate Leaders Withdraw Proposal for 90-Day Loans To Kill Disputes Drop Credit Plan In Neutrality Bill Washington, Oct. 16. - (UP) - Chairman Key Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to date abandoned the 90-day credit provision of the neutrality revision bill in favor of a strict cash-and-stock deal to purchase of American products by European belligerents. The credit clause was one of the most disputed proposals in the bill. It would have empowered President Roosevelt to authorize short-term credits under certain conditions. Powerful groups in both parties opposed it on the ground that it would increase American loans to war debt defaulting nations and might involve this country in war. when the senate began the third week of general debate on the legislation, Pitman announced the administration's surrender. He offered an amendment eliminating the credit section. In an accompanying statement he said he did so to "avoid confusion or misunderstanding." It always was the intention of his committee, he said, to require settlement in cash or its equivalent as Attorney-Attorney-Grand Frank Murphy. Majority leader,Alben W. Barkley,D, Ky., would like to conclude general debate this week and start voting on amendments next Monday. But the isolationists said after a meeting today that the talk-fest would continue. They said they were not filibustering and had no intention of doing so unless the leadership tries to "crack down." About 25 graduate students of economics and business and the teaching staff of the School of Business will hear Dr. John Isele build his experiences in Washington, D.C. Thursday night at the first of a series of meetings for the New York Preceding Doctor Isele's talk, dinner will be served at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Union building. The end of general debate, they emphasized, does not forecast an immediate vote. They cited amended rules offered and others be prepared. Chandler will visit the public junior college at Iola today, and the Catholic school for girls at Paola tomorrow. Professor Chandler is state sponsor of colleges and visits all colleges in Kansas except state institutions during the year. Dr. John Ise To Relate Experiences in Washington John Lintner, instructor in economics and political science, is in charge of arrangements. Chandler To Inspect Colleges Psychological Grades Available Psychological test grades are now available in Prof. A. H. Turney' office, room 107, Fraser hall. iods have the opposite effect, according to Professor Wheeler. "Climatic transitions from warm to cold are accompanied by social wars or revolutions carried out by a liberty-minded middle class which sets up a strong central government eventually to dictatorships," he said. "World wars come on an upwash from cold to warm, which are nation and empire-building times. The first war of Napoleon are good examples." Major world-wide economic depressions occur in the long drought periods, which mark the waning of a warm epoch. These periods, he said, are "dead from the standpoint of human activity." "We have been on the warm side since 1897." Wheeler said, "and we have just been through a long, hot drought period not only in Kansas but the world over, and if the signs are reliable we are nearing the end of our century." We have having lower annual temperatures, which, if history repeats itself, should be accompanied by a strong revival of democracy." "Warm periods produce abstract science, art and literature, usually classical, while cold periods produce concrete art and literature which might be called 'romantic.' Professor Wheeler said that winners were probably colder when our grandfathers were young and they had to wear red flannels to keep warm. He predicted that if the cycles run true to form, about two-thirds of the coming century would be colder. Revival of Democracy Salvation Army Begins Drive So far $60 has been received from the University. Last year's contributions reached $250, a 75 per cent increase over that of the previous year.

Malott Urges Councils Pass Smoking Ban Freshman women class officers will be elected Nov. 2, in the center of Frank Strong hall, Velma Wilson, c$4, president of W.G.A.G., announced yesterday. Applications for freshmen are due at the Memorial Union building. Freshman Women's Election Is Nov. 2: Applicants To Meet - M.S.C., W.S.G.A. Quiz Chancellor on Merits of Proposal at Joint Meeting Opinions Unsettled Chancellor Deane W. Malott appeared before a specially called joint meeting of the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. last night and urged the rather dubious Councilmen to pass the proposal to ban indoor smoking. "I will be terribly disappointed if you allow students to smoke," that "That would show a state of mind of the students which would disappoint me a lot." Malott again pointed to the fire hazard and messy appearance caused by smoking inside buildings. "It is my responsibility to protect this property," he said. The Chancellor speculated that if Fras尔 hall or a similar building would burn it would necessitate night classes, Sunday classes, and inconvenience everyone in the University. Furthermore, the Chancellor added, smoke and stubs which are common in the buildings show bad housekeeping, and are not conducive to good public relations. "It is our responsibility that cigarette cigars sit on the floor," he said. "The W.S.G.A. council is anxious," said Miss Wilson, "to have as many interested women as possible to run for these offices." When asked how the no-smoking bill would be enforced, Mallett said: "That depends on who solves the problem." The Chancellor said, however, that he had not considered what would happen if the Councils refused to act. "I have too much in the students for that," he said. The bill was presented, he continued, "to see if you people as student government advocates could and would tackle the job. If you think it takes too much time and responsibility you will say no." All applicants must be taking Jim Postma, I42, presented a petition signed by 91 law students opposed to the bill. Only three members of the combined Councils spoke in favor of the measure. There were numerous incidents, violently opposed to the smoking ban. Speeches in Topoka, Lawrence, and Baxter Springs will be made by Chancellor Deane W. Malott today and tomorrow. At noon today he will speak before the Topoka Chamber of Commerce, the victims of Today." Tonight "Amunition" will be his subject when he speaks to the University M.Y.C.A.

Holds Parley--- Brewster Power, c'40, P.S.G.L. representative, made the resolution "because the bill which is in committee to that effect will not receive action soon enough to help the Freshman Frolic." PROF. HENRY WERNER Men's student adviser, who held a meeting of Campus representatives yesterday to discuss the student adviser and his role in Malawi spoke at the meeting. No Two Sides To Smoking Question Chancellor Says Expressing his faith in University students, Chancellor Deane W. Malott yesterday told 50 Campus leaders that he was "sure" about this (an smoking) question2. The 50 students met in Fram- Strong auditorium at the request of Henry Werner, men's student ad- viser, who said he thought several questions regarding the cigarette could be cleared up in that manner. The group voted unanimously to invite Chancellor Malott in to explain his side of the smoking ban. Malott said he thought student government an experiment and that the bill against indoor smoking would be carrying it farther than it has been before, a testimony pass this bill it is a justification for student self-government," the Chancellor said. Peace Group Plans Discussion on War The Campus Peace Group, organized recently by the Student Christian Federation, will hold its second meeting tonight at 8 o'clock in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. Mary Jane, c'41, chairman of the temporary executive board, will preside at tonight's meeting John J. O.

Kirby Page Books On Sale Kirby Page Books On Sale Books written by Kirby Page, noted lecturer and author who spoke on the Campus recently are on sale in the Y.M.C.A. office, John J. O. Moore, executive secretary of the organization announced yesterday. Legality of such a move was questioned by Pacachacm representatives, who declared that, according to the constitution, all legislative acts must be bills. If the action is by bill rather than by resolution 24 days must pass before it goes into effect. Powell said he introduced the resolution because immediate action was necessary to help make the Freshman Froli a financial success. David Whitney, c.422, a Pacachacm spokesman in the Council, declared that resolutions were out of order because the constitution does not deal with these objections. C. H. Mullen, '142, president, ruled the resolution in order. In opposition to the proposal, Emmet Park, c'41, Pachacamac, said he thought it was the "height of absurdity for a council to vote lifel out of the only privilege it has." Pachacamac seemed to stand behind this statement as they voted solidly against the resolution. John Oakson, Wat Mattei, c'40, both Pachacamacas, were not present for the vote. Whitney refused to voice because he thought the motion out of order. The anti-pass bill which is now in committee will not come before the council until Oct. 23, three days later the freshman Folic.
