Quake Rocks Central Chile; Dead Unknown
- Chillan and Concepcion Completely Ruined; Mining and Industrial Section Hit Hardest
Santiago, Chile, Jan. 25—(UP)—The rich agricultural and coal mining region of South Central Chile tonight lay devastated by an earthquake that took an appalling toll of lives, with government officials reporting 8,000 dead in Chillan and Concepcion alone.
The government officially estimated the deaths in Chillan, one of the cities hardest hit by the disaster, and sets the figure, at 10,000 or higher.
Naval authorities received a telegram from the admiral in command of the naval base at Talchuano, the port of Concepción, which said: "Three thousand dead in Concepción."
Officials feared the death list would mount considerably when reports were received from all parts of the stricken area.
The earthquake occurred just before midnight Tuesday. Many persons, particularly in the smaller buildings, were wrapped under fallen walls and roofs.
The pilot of a special national airlines plane which the government dispatched to survey the earthquake area reported that Chillan, a city of 40,000 inhabitants, 320 miles south of Santiago, was "completely wrecked." He estimated that approximately 10-000 were killed there.
ON THE SHIN
Editor's Note: Guest-writing today is Schiller Shore, the backshop genius. Mr. Shore is notorious as an artist, author, and traveler. As a matter of record, he had to start traveling right after he laid the following column on the copy desk.
Nominations are welcome to the newly established Hall of Shame, in the Journalism bldg. We are using all the powers and treachery to keep clear of the committee on confirmations.
We promised Jimmy to take a dig at John R. Tye, but got cold feet. That boy is red-headed and clever with the scissors.

Upon hearing that we were going to "inject new blood" into this column, Mr. Goebel approached us and pocketed stuff full of goodies.

After crossing the Caribbean sea on a tramp steamer, Dawes and Boring expect to spend several months in skirting the continent of South America. Working their way eastward from Columbia, they say they will round the tip of the continent and then travel down the south coast of Cape Horn.
Both plan to resume their work at the University at the beginning of the 1930 fall semester.
From Cape Horn they plan to steer their course through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and the Latin American states to Mexico. A side trip to the Hawaiian island is a possibility, according to Dawes.
Tabloid Kansan To Convey News During Finals
NUMBER 82
No, you didn't lose half your DAILY KANSAN this morning. It was printed this way purposely so that you could keep up on Campus examination schedules and enrollment hours—through final week.
THE DAILY KANSAN is a product of students. The staff that has little matter of final examinations to go through, too, this week the same as you. But members believe they owe a service to their subscribers by giving them the news while school is in session.
The persons who make the news have given up that occupation for the next week and are concentrating on passing their final examinations.
In previous years it has been the custom to drop a few issues during final week. This year it was decided to keep the publication schedule intact but to print a few in tabuloid size. Four out of the next five issues will be tabuloid. Sunday's will be tabuloid. Monday will be tabuloid. The last two for this semester, next Tuesday and Wednesday, will be tabuloids.
Next semester, beginning Feb. 7 the KANSAN will be published as an afternoon paper. Subscriptions for the paper during the spring semester can be obtained at the Kansan business office for $1.75.

The clinic is a part of the Southwest Kansas League Tournament which starts Thursday afternoon and will be concluded Saturday night. Eight high schools will compete in the tournament.
Friday afternoon the Allen's will continue to Great Bend where Mr. Allen will referee a game between two independent teams that even have the same ex-jaekyah cager, will be a member of one of the two teams.
The Kansas coach and his wife will return to the University Saturday evening.
A New York court has ruled that candidates for police posts cannot be given extra credit because they must be college or have played football.
Eighty Men Apply for Air Training Course
★ Applicants Must Undergo Physical Exams Which Start Today at Watkins Memorial Hospital
More than 80 men applied yesterday for participation in the air training course to be offered at the University next semester. Earl D. Day, professor of mechanical engineering, will be expected about 125 applications.
Student applicants must receive certification slips from his office before they register for physical examinations at Watkins Memorial hospital, Professor Hay said. The examinations, starting this afternoon, will be conducted during the remainder of the week.
Hospital Will Approve 70
Nothing now remains in the way of the course, the final loose ends of red tape having been gathered in, when Ralph T. O'Neil, chairman of the Board of Regents, gave assurance that courses covering ground training—not now offered—will be approved by the Regents.
Watkins hospital will approve 70 applications from which the Civil Aeronautics Authority, sponsors of the project, will select a list for final physical checkup by a regularly certified examiner.

Republicans Rally For Kansas Day
The seventy-eighth anniversary of the admittance of Kansas into the Union will be a four day affair this year. The official day, Jan. 29, falls on Sunday, so the Republicans are planning on staging their rally over weekend, culminating with the big annual dinner on Monday night.
The first Kansas day was observed in 1882 when the young Republicans of the state met to start breaking up the power of the old-timers in the party. The Republican organization has held annual dinners ever since. The chief speaker this year will be Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, Gov. Payne Ratner and Continued on page 3.
