United States Disregards Nazi Conquest
NUMBER 13.
- America To Continue Full Diplomatic Relations With Poland; According to Cordell Hull
Washington, Oct. 2—(UP)—The United States today refused to recognize the German-Russian conquest of Poland and served notice that it will continue full diplomatic relations with the refugee Polish govern-
Describing Poland as a "victim of forces," Secretary of State Cordell Hull issued a formal statement outlining this nation's policy and declaring that the "mere seizure of territory . . . does not extinguish the legal existence of the government."
Expect German Peace Offer
Although surface indications were that the declaration was simply a restatement of U.S. policy in similar international conquests, speculation immediately centered on the possibility that this government also was seeking to make its position clear in advance of an expected German peace offer to Great Britain and France.
The peace proposal is expected to call for the cessation of hostilities on condition that the Allied Powers agreed to end the war in the union of Poland as a "Fait Accompli"
By refusing to recognize the absorption of Poland, the United States, some observers believe means to convey that it is opposed in principle to a peace compact along such lines, a view held by Great Britain and France. Creech Minister Stays
This Nation's refusal to recognize the extinguishment of Poland follows the policy laid down at the time of Japan's seizure of Manchuria, now Manchukuo, and more recently when Nazi forces overran Ukraine. To date, neither conquest has been recognized and the Czech minister to the United States still maintains his legislation here.
"More than 20 years ago the United States recognized and has since maintained diplomatic relations with the Polish government," Hull declared. "Poland is now the victim of force used as an instrument of national policy. Its territory has been taken over and its government has had to seek refuge abroad."
Seizure Is Not End
He explained that in the eyes of American officials mere seizure of territory does not signal the end of a foreign government, and added:
"The United States, therefore continues to regard the govern- (Continued on page three)

Highlights of his program were: Weber's "Perpetual Motion" which Mr. Chaiapuo played with incredible speed, facility and accuracy; Chopin's "Scherzo in C Sharp Minor" which called for a technique not found with an ordinary pianist; and his own arrangement of the familiar "Valse Blüette" (Drugo.) Mr. Chaiapuo has established a custom of presenting in his concerts his own arrangement of

Former Chancellor E. H. Lindley was 70 years old yesterday, and it was just coincidence that Dr. Forest C. Allen, University basketball coach, delivered a letter from the former head of the University on that day.
Lindley Sends New About Former K.U. Basketball Stars
Especially strange was the fact that when the ex-Cahcnelor mailed the letter he was at the Imperial hotel, Tokyo, Japan, and that the letter mailed Se. 7 should travel half-way around the world and reach Lawrence on Oct. 2, Mr. Lindley's birthday.
The article discussed the merits of three former University basketball stars, Fred Prale, Ray Ebing, and Dick Wells. The clipping, the coach explained, was a column written by a sports editor.
In the envelope Dr. Allen found a clipping from the Japan Times and Mail, an English-language Tokyo newspaper. The clipping carried the following headline: "The Kansas Stars on the All-America."
The Japanese do not play football, Dr. Allen explained. Basketball ranks second to baseball as the third most popular sport; excellence of Japanese basketball and of their interest in the game is shown by the fact that they have won the Far-East Olympic cage tournament for the last three times.
The former Chancellor, too busy traveler to find time to write letters, sent only the clipping to Doctor Allen.
Union Building Architect Dies At Convention
Irving K. Pond, designer of the Memorial Union building, died last week while attending the convention of Architecture in Washington, D. C.
Mr. Pond was stricken with a heart attack after a reception for the delegates in the Mayflower hoistage after being taken to a hospital.
Prof. G. M. Beal, of the department of architecture, attending the convention, had conversed with Mr. Pond the day before he died. In the conversation Mr. Pond mentioned his intentions of sending the plans for the completion of the Memorial Union building, the design for the north wing, to the University's architectural division.
Among the other outstanding structures which Mr. Pond has designed include: Chicago Federal building; the Memorial Union building, the Jackson Institute, and the public hospital at St. John, New Brunswick.
The 82-year-old designer was a graduate of the University of Michigan and a member of the Institute of British Architects. In 1911 he received his Ph.D. from the International Congress of Architects at Rome and Venice.
Cosmopolitianism cost the university $3,000 this semester. Henry Werner, men's student adviser and president of the university committee, announced today.
Eighty-seven out-of-state students sought permission to pay only the resident fees. Fifty-eight of those applications were granted, thus saving that many students approximately $50 each.
'Cosmopolitanism' Costs University
Applications of 22 students were denied and 7 are awaiting the decision of the residence committee. In order to be excused from the high non-resident fee a student must have lived in Kansas at least six months. If this condition not met with the intention of evading the high fee, however, the student is disqualified.
Services of L.S.A. council members who fail to attend council meetings will be terminated without exception, the council decided in a meeting Sunday afternoon. Members who fail to attend any or any three meetings will be automatically retired from the executive board.

Woodbury Killed In Auto Crash
★ He Was a Booster for Memorial Stadium and Union Building
With the death of Charles P. (Tod) Woodbury Sunday morning, the University lost an alumnus who had contributed heavily to University sports and the Memorial Union building.
Woodbury died a few hours after he was injured in a motor car collision five miles north of Flatley City. He was enroute to Kansas City from St. Joseph, where, as the president of the Kansas City Bar association, he met with the bar association during closing the annual meetings of the Missouri Bar association.
His heavy sedet met head on with a motor car containing two St. Joseph couples. Woodbury was alone when the car when the accident occurred.
The only Republican member of the Kansas City council, he had figured recently in helping rid the city of the Pendergast regime.
The councilman was the father of five children. The oldest, Charles P Woodbury, Jr., was a student at the University in 1937 and 1938.
Charles Woodbury served as president of the Kansas City alumni association for two terms from 1920 to 1922 and was a great booster of the memorial campaign for the stadium and Union building at the University during which $160,000 was subscribed in Kansas City.
He won football letters at the University in 1910 and 1911 and track letters all four years from 1909 to 1912. He played halfback on the football team and starred on the trac队 as a pole vaulter.

New Trail For Lantern Paraders
- Y. W.C.A. and W.S.G.A.
Will Sponsor Annual Trek
To Chancellor's Home
Thursday Night
By Jean Hipshaw, c'41
By Jean Hinshew, c 41
Aided by the glow of gently bobbing Japanese lanterns,
University women will wind their way along a new path,
Thursday night in the traditional Lantern parade.
The Lantern parade, this year holds special significance to both new and old students: to new students because it is a tradition of the University of which they are now to become a part, and to older students because their steps will lead them a different way—to the home of the University's new Chancellor, Deane W. Malott.
W. S.G.A. and Y.W.C.A., for 23 years have jointly sponsored the Lantern parade. It was originally begun as an opening event for freshman women, but became so popular that it has become a tradition for both new and older women students. At 5:45 all University women will attend an informal dinner in the Memorial Union building. Following the dinner, the group will slowly wend its way to the home of Chancellor and Mrs. Malott. As is the custom, the presidents of Y.W.C.A. and W.S.G.A. Edna Mae Parks, c'40, and Velma Wilson, c40, respectively, will lead the procession. When each couple bearing a lighted lantern arrives at the Chancellor's home, the women will surrender.
Greetings are to be made by both Velma Wilson and Eddie Ma Parks. Chancellor Malott will return their greeting with a short address.
The Lantern parade is one of the University's oldest traditions. All University women have been asked to make this year's parade a success.
Campus Rules Bring Warnings
University traffic rules went into effect yesterday and with them came the usual amount of first-day violation. George Snyder, Campus patrolman, said that he had given many warnings and issued numerous tickets imposing fines for a number of infringements.
The greatest violations were caused by persons parking in foreign zones. Each car with a tag must be parked in its respective zone. Many have given the excuse that George has not yet received them. "This is not a valid excuse," says George. "No tag—no parking."
He also added that riders on running boards will not be permitted; that all stop signs must be recognized and that excessive speeds will not be tolerated.
No more warnings will be given and the tickets will immediately be turned in to the Men's Student Council for judgment.
Library Still Receives Magazines from Europe
All European magazines in the periodical room of Watson Library are coming through at the present time, but the library is expecting that the war will stop some of them soon. Some of the magazines on display in London are now coming from rural towns in Wales and England.
Few new magazines have been acquired for the periodical room this year. "Photo Technique" has been added to bring the number of magazines on photography up to three. "Events," current event magazine; "Caras Caretas," Spanish magazine and "The Catholic World." news monthly, are other new periodicals.
Architecture Society Meets Tonight
The local chapter of Scarab, nat-
ural and architectural society, will hold a
snoker at Eagles hall, at 7.30 p.m.
Gammon will be played and refreshe-
ted by members of the par-tment of architecture are invited.
