Jayhawks Seek Colorado Victory
Party Denies Dissension Within Ranks
By Reginald Buxton, c'40
★ M.S.C. President Declares Bill Presented Merely as 'Feeler' of University Student Opinion
The Progressive Student Government League denied last night any dissension within its ranks but still takes no definite stand on the anti-smoking bill. C. H. Mullen, 142, president of the Men's Student Council and co-author of the bill, expressed himself as being in harmony with his party.
A statement signed by Bob Marietta, c'40, chairman of P.S.G.L declared that party harmony "has been at a maximum." According to Marietta, Mullen presented the Anti-Smoking bill as a "means to sound out student opinion on a problem that was not only affecting the University itself but was attracting state wide attention."
The signed article continued with "When we (P.S.G.L.) formulate our stand it will be reasonably based on every possible aspect of the problem." No indication as to what direction the party will awing was given.
Mullen was vague in giving his stand on the bill. His purpose in introducing the bill was "to sound our student opinion upon the question." My position now is the same as it was the night I introduced the bill."
Usually a bill is not introduced by any legislator unless it has his support. Mullen's stand at present indicates that he does not intend to go farther out on the limb until he is sure of his party's own stand. Marietta evidently does not intend to give the party "yes" or "no" until he knows which way the political winds are blowing.
Football Coaches Address Grads
Chancellor Mollett has assured his strong support of the bill, going so far as to say that even if the council fails to pass it, a difficult situation the problem will remain his.
Gwinn Henry director of athletes, Vic Hurt, head line coach, and Harry Lansing, assistant coach, were speakers and guests of honor at a meeting of graduates and former students of the University last night in Kansas City, Mo. Motion pictures Kansas-Iowa game were shown.
In addition to electing officers for the Kansas City Alumni association plans were made to honor Chancellor Deane W. Malott in the near future
Past presidents of the association, which includes the K.U. Club of Kansas City, the Jayhawk Club, and the Relays Club, presented a slate of officers to govern all alumni activities in Kansas City.
War in Brief
By the United Press
Berlin—Germans call Chamberlain's speech "shameless' insult to German people" and the German warriors. The Germans call the "war is now on in earnest."
Helsingifors—Finland orders Finnish ships out of the gulf of Finland to avoid possible Russian blockade; Finnish army of 300,000 is in position to resist invasion; civilisations complete evacuation of threatenings; Greece is cheered by diplomatic representations made in Moscow by United States and the neighboring northern countries.

Washington Co-Eds To Get Civil Aeronautics Training
Seattle, Wash. (UP)—When federal aviation authorization allowed the state of Washington a quota of six women out of 200 students under the Civilian Pilot Training program the number looked safe enough.
Yet the University of Washington department of aeronautical engineering, one of the institutions designated under the program, has received applications from 14 women.
The successful six entrants probably will be determined when the rigid physical examination is made.

University authorities were not entirely in sympathy with the type of humor displayed in the new creation and began an investigation. The "culprits" were not discovered and the investigation was dropped, but a result being that the Snake Owl received some valuable publicity.
A group known as the "Owl publishing Company" (as all the work was done at night) fostered the humor sheet until it was taken over by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, in 1924.
Student Takes'Room To College When Barracks Are Full
Clemson. S. C. (UP) - Otis H. Shipman, a senior in Clemson Agricultural College here, neglected to send in his registration card this fall, but that didn't keep him out of school.
Finding no room for him in the barracks, Shipman went to Dr. E. W. Sikes, college president, with his tale of woe. The result was Shipman decided to "build" himself a room.
He returned to his home in Brevard, N. C., and built a trailer, to become the college's first trailer student.
But Shipman's troubles were not over. He had to move the trailer to college, and a license to tow it. The car was a passenger car would have cost $30.
Finding a suitable location for his "rolling room" was another problem, but Shippman solved that, too. He is "behind the college laundry."
The law said nothing about contraptions drawn with a farm tractor, so Shipman hitched his trailer to 'be tractor and set out.
A tire on the trailer blew out and delayed him one night, but he slept in the trailer and com- 60-mile rip the following day.
Display Photos Of Cathedral
- Pictures by Sangez
Placed in Show Case
Of Watson Library
Photographs by Emanuel Sanguiz of the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris have been placed in the show case at the entrance to the second floor reference room of the Watson library. The four pictures show outside the cathedral which was built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
Two pictures of portals show the preaching and death of St. Stephens and the Last Judgment. The latter portal is typical of all gothic cathedrals. There is much delicate artistry in the stone, both on the tympan and on the stonework above them to the lower arch, and on the door pests.
An interior scene shows the vaults which are formed by the crossing of three ogives, the diagonal ribs of an arch. Fourteenth century architecture relating to the life of sculptors appears in the enduresse of the chair.
Another photograph shows a side view of the entire cathedral and features the Portal of St. Stephens.

George Jean Nathan, dramatic critic for Newsweek and Eureka, renamed for his caustic comments on mediocre dramas, praised the play in his weekly column by saying, "It is as bony, imaginative, and utterly entertaining that we come the way of the local stage in a long spell." Fellow critics Burke Mantle, while criticizing the play during its production, voted with

Chitwood received a twisted knee in last Saturday's game—and although he probably will play Saturday he will not start
Nathan to award its author the Critics Award.
Seroyan's play was mentioned as eligible for the Pulitzer prize and won the Critics Award.
The plot of the play is built around a poet and his 11-year-old son, Johnny. The two of them put forth all efforts to live divorced from the world of reality, and to descend to earth only in a moment's notice of the true facts of a human's necessity for food. Since none of the poetry ever sells, their groceries are not delivered to the door. The story begins nowhere and end nowhere with action taking place both inside and outside their house at the same time. It is neither realistic nor conventional.
"Emperor Jones" is an entirely different type of play. It is a psychological tragedy manifesting race psychology.
Tickets for the plays will be reserved as before and sales will begin next Thursday joining. Active tickets will be exchanged for reserved seats.

The Colorado Farmers, coached by Harry Hughes, lost by one point to Brigham Young University last week. Still smarring from the one point loss, and playing on their home grounds, the Farmers will probably keep the Jayhawkers busy tomorrow afternoon.
The siege gun of State's attack is John Peterson, a triple-hater that handles fullback lutes for the Aggies. Another nan the Jayhawks must keep ab on is Richard Cavanaugh, aophomore who is rated as one of the best backs the Farmers have in many a year.
At the tackle posts there will be no changes, with Monte Merkel and
