Ratner Pledges Realism In State Administration
By Bill Mills, c'41 (Special to The Kansan)
- Justice Dawson Gives Oath to Governor Who Urges Decentralization of Responsibility
Topeka—Payne H. Ratner, 44-
year old successful Republican
gubernatorial candidate, was awn
gubernator of Kansas yester-
day at high noon.
Though hampered by a throat infection which threatened to keep him from making his inaugural address, the youthful Parish's lawyer promised the people of Kansas an administration based on realism The Governor gave his speech immediately after taking the oath o from Chief Justice Dawson in the Topeka High School auditorium.
The inauguration ceremonies were preceded by a parade through the business section, in which the retiring executive, Walter H. Huxman and his successor rode together in an open car. The parade was inspired by the return to power of the G.O.P. after a two years absence. Democrats were able to win only one state office—Associate Justice Harry K. Allen was re-elected to the supreme court.
Parade Precedes Ceremonies
Ratner, in furthering his belief in realism in state government, re-called the philosophy of Thomas Klineau and governs best which governs least."
"I intend always to frankly face the facts. To be a realist is to hold fast to true facts," the new Governor said.
The new executive promised that in the next two years he would bring about more local governing and less centralization of power.
"The lessons of recent years should also help us to realize that opportunity, after all, is of more importance than security." The former state senator said that he believed the government should

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10. 1930
Off in a merry mood last Satur day night to do a little partying, dropped in on the Alpha Chi's at the Union Ballroom. Trumpet-playing maestro Clyde Smith was head of the department of music and doing right well by the consumers. However he quit being his usual jovial sel when I told him his outfit sounder like a nickelodeon, and from then he used me for a mute everytime danced too close to his horn.

Theence at intermission time to the University Club with Professor and Mrs. Blocker to find another party in progress. Nobody offered me any punch, but I had a lot of fun any-way. It was there that I first heard of the "John Paul Jones," $n$ dance craze that is been sweeping the place for five or maybe 10 years unknowingly to most of us.

The thing is a sort of combination that is a cross between the old-fashioned square dance and the Big Apple. Its purpose is to get all the couples up. Before it was all over I was mixed up thoroughly. Botany Professor Mix called the舞. Ever so frequently he would blow a whistle and say something like "Right hand to your partner" or "Promenade" or "Men go the other way." These directions were invariably climaxed with "Everybody dance."
I noticed that Advisor to Men Werner and his wife left the party a little before midnight—possibly to check up on the homecoming time of Theta daughter, Jean. The rest of the school masters danced on until nearly 12,15, at which time the orchestra suddenly got up and left.
Edwin Browne, that exponent of propriety, was cruising around the curve on Mississippi street not long ago in his 1926 Buck when a beautiful blush, walking upward from the Union Building, caught his eye. he says he just glanced at her. Maybe so. But while he was glancing on car run up the curb and almost did a little de-landscaping.
Class of Adagio Dancers To Appear Between Halves
Between halves of the Kansas State-University basketball game tonight, the adagio dancing class, under the instruction of Frank Pace, will be a public demonstration, accompanied by the University of Kansan band.
Because the floor of the auditorium will not permit it, the demonstration will not be a definite adagio routine but it will show the possibilities of the class, a new organization will be given, and will be taken by several students.
The following will take part:
Frank Anneberg; Frances York,

Make Plans For University Town Meetings
a tentative plan for "Town Meetings of K. U." was announced today by Jim Bounds, director of the Student Union Activity Board.
The "Town Meetings of K. U." would be held every Thursday evening at 8:30 in the Memorial Union building. The discussions would follow the program "Town Hall of the Air" which is on the air over a national hook-up every Thursday night from 8:30 to 9:30. A professor or student instructing would be lead the discussion and to answer questions. The meetings would begin with the new semester.
Henry Werner, adviser of men, belongs to a similar group which meets on Thursdays to listen to the broadcasts. There are several such groups in Lawrence and the National Inter-Fraternity班 is encouraging the practice among fraternities on various campuses.
The nature of the program on the air is a panel discussion. Two well-known people present sides on the topic of the evening, which may be either political, economic, or social. For example, a recent discussion was on the Wagner Act and the one for this Thursday will be "Do we have a free press?" One half of the hour was devoted to asking view points. The remaining half is taken up with the answering of questions submitted by the audience.
The "Town Meetings of K. U." would be for those students and instructors who are interested in the facts of timely topics and who either know them or wish to learn them on theories they would like to advance to an interested group.
Blazing youth on the Wheaton College campus have formed a New Red Heads Club.
"Liberal students and liberal professors were called 'reds' because of modern ideas." Graebner stated. "The assumptions of the investigation

Graeber and Don Henry, who was killed in action Sep. 3, 1927, left for Spain immediately following final examinations in the spring of 1927. The two students agreed that in the event that either was killed the other would inform the parents. On Oct. 3, Henry's parents received Graeber's letter informing them of the death of their son. Upon receipt of the letter Ed Henry, father of Dem, demanded an investigation of supposed communistic activities on the University Campus.
The second voting district in the University system is now composed of the Schools of Fine Arts, Education, Pharmacy, and Business. From this section only three men are chosen.
A committee of three, appointed last night by Grimes, and headed by Farmer, was formed to regard amendments to the bills governing methods of choosing dance munitions; two members of the two members of the committee are Howard Rankin, c'42, and Clarence Peterson, c'42.
Chairman of Journalism Department In Accident
Bill Farmer, c'39, presented the Council's reorganized constitutions. During the Christmas printed Farmer revised the printed manuals which govern the body's duties, powers, and privileges.
Prof. L. N. Fint, chairman of the department of journalism, received slight injuries when his car was struck some 20 miles west of Lawrence Sunday. The accident occurred at 3 o'clock in the afternoon when he was driving to Toppea with Mrs. Flint and friends, Mrs. Margaret Pearson Spelman, Dean of Women at Haskell Institute, and her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Pearson of Lawrence. A car coming from a crash collided with the Flint car. While none of the persons were seriously injured, all were bruised as a result of the collision.

A seven-man Committee on Redistricting which will study the University voting situation and prepare a revised system of student records. The committee arrived late night at the regular meeting of the Men's Student Council.
Kenneth Graebel, former University student, denies that he was in fluenced by any communistic or organization to enlist in the Spanish Loyalist army, reviewed his expences of the past '8 months.
"Probably the most important steps the committee will take," said Blaine Grimes, c39, president of the M.S.C., "will be to give the School of Business more adequate representation on the Council. In view of the rapid growth of this school and the fact that many students pedient to give it a stronger voice than it has in District II at the present time."
The Council is represented or the committee by four members Clifford Willis, gr. Bob McKay Wills, Jr. gr. C9; and Richard McMellen, 139.
W. R. Maddox, assistant professor of political science, was named to head the committee.

It will be recalled that John Hunt was secretary of the Y.M.C.A. while Graeber was a student here. Hunts resigned following charges that he had been instrumental in obtaining enlistments in the Spanish army.
When asked for his reasons for going to Spain he mentioned "liberal ideas" and "a desire for travel and hardy adventure."
committee were not true, when they assumed our decision to go to Spain was fostered by any University organization."
"When Don and I reached New York we joined quite a large group bound for Spain. And incidently I hardly knew Don until he came down to see me after he had heard that I intended to go to Spain. So we decided to go together."
The two students were separated for the first time at the close of this training period. Both were as assistants in our wives' care, as were most of the Americans.
"The Spanish government is solvent. If the United States would lift their embargo enabling the Loyalist to obtain necessary supplies the invasion of Spain by Fascist nations would be ended." Graeber stated upon being questioned about the future of the war.
"Upon arriving in Spain we were assigned to a hospital training school for one month, and contrary to common bleief we were allowed to choose our branch of the service." Graeber said.
When asked about his use of the word invasion, he explained: "In October the government decided they were able to defend their country

Y.W.C.A. Secretary Resigns Post
The resignation of Miss Ellen Payne, general secretary of the local Y.W.C.A., was accepted by the advisory board of the Y.W. last night to join the cabinet. The resignation will become effective June 19.
It was announced yesterday that Mss Payne and William T. Paulham, instructor in the department of nursing, were married in the latter part of June.
Miss Payne become general secretary here in March, 1936, replacing Mrs. P. F. Walker. The retiring secretary is a graduate of Kansas State College, where she was a member of Delta Delta the sorority and Mortor Board. In 1938 she was co-chairman of the Student Christian Movement in the Rocky Mountain region.
Mrs. Joseph King, chairman of the advisory board, will head a committee composed of Mrs. Marvin LeSouer, Miss Helen Titsworth, and herself, for the selection of a new secreary.

Close One Last Year
After the defeat at Norman, close followers of the Jawhawkers began pointing out how the team dropped last year's opener to the same Oklahoma contingent, then came back with nine straight league championship. They are hoping Kansas will be able to repeat that feat and that the team can start rolling toward the title with an impressive victory tonight.
The Jayhawks have dropped only one Big Six game to their state rivals since 1929—a 33 to 32 overtime thriller in 1937—but last year the Wildcats gave everyone a scare here because they were barely nosed out, 35 to 33.
Kansas State has won only three games this year in eight starts, but it boasts two of the loof's leading scorers. Honer Wesche with 77 and Ervin Reid with 66 rank one-two for his teams during non-conference games.
Wesche was high-point man at Ames Saturday night with 15 markers. However, that ranks him no better than third place in the Big Six scoring race. Howard Engleman's 17 points against the Scooners and Carpin Corbin of Oklahoma is in the runner-up slot with 16.
Look Bad Against C.K.C
The Wildcats have dropped four games to Central conference teams this season, losing to Southeastern, Fort Hays State, and twice to Emporia Teachers. Doane College and Colorado State have been the only teams to fall before the K-State loopers this season, the latter dropping two at Manhattan just before Christmas.
Although Coach Allen was decidedly dissatisfied with the Jayhawkers showing against the Sooners, there were few shifts for the game tonight.
Howard Engleman, who has been coming along brilliantly in the last few games, will start at forward with Don Ebbing, and the rest of the team. Greg Kappelman, center, and Dick Harp and Lyman Corlins, guards.
Engleman Has Basket Eye
Engleman can really pour them through the drygoods when he gets away for shots in close. If this opening five fails to click, Dr. Allen plans to shoot Ralph Miller or Bruce Reid into the milling to feed the ball to Engleman. Both are ex-actors in "The Big Bang." Bruce Vornan are also fine floor men and are expected to see a lot of action at the "quarterback" post.
Miller played more than 10 minutes Saturday night, but his knee is still very weak. It was early in the second period of the game that the three stars of last year's Frosht outfit, Miller, Egglen, and Allen, took over the front line trenches and rapid attack as he'd lead scores after the Jayhawkers trailed at the intermission 21 to 14. Allen and Miller were passing in to the Ark City flash and he was hitting the basket.
Tonight's captain will be Lyman Corlis, who played the entire 40 minutes against the Sooners and who has been playing steadier ball than any man on the squad. Dick Harp, who has been swiring 'em during practice lately, but who can't seem to connect when he gets in the game, will hold down the other sentinel job.
92 Points for Wesche
Starting for the Wildcats will be Ervin Reid and Joe Robertson, a pair of juniors, at forward, and George Kramer and Clarence Dierker, at center. The team will encease center Herman Wesche will complete the opening line-up.
