General Butler Is Student Forum Speaker Tonight
n of Marine Corps Will Discuss 'War Is a Racket,' Activity Books Admit
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, former commander-in-chief of the United States Marine corps, will speak on "War Is a Racket" at 8:20 toight in Hoch auditorium, in the second of a three-day event sponsored by the Student Forum Board.
Since his retirement from the marine corps in 1931, General Butler has been engaged in a campaign
for world peace. He has spoken in more than 850 cities and towns. His lecture tonight will consist of a de-nunciation of "murder for profit and an outline of a program of control.
Butler's recent book, *War Is a Racket*, covers essentially the same material as his address tonight. It reflects the program of control of war in the future.
On a leave of absence in 1924, General Butler reorganized the police force of Philadelphia. At the time of his retirement, he had been in the marine service for a third of a century. He served in the Spanish colony of Morocco in various other activities, including the Chinese revolution of 1927-28.
General Butler spoke here in 1932 on the situation in China at that time. He also told of some of his experiences in Philadelphia.
Activity books will admit students.
Butler was described by Lowell Thomas as "the very figure of a fighting man stepping out of the battle, including the battle of Philadelphia."
ON THE SHIN
by Jimmy robertson
While A. O. Pi activities were in meeting Monday night their pledgings snaked off to town and bought pipes. When actions emerged from the chapter room they found the parlor looking and smelling like a pool hall. And speaking of A. O. Pi's that new cream-colored Buck floating around the Hill belongs to their Dorothy Netherton.
Somebody called Joe Cochrane as Lothirio yesterday and he went around looking real happy—your kind, sort of beaming. Then some-body suggested that he look up the word, thereby puncturing his categorical imperative. Joe discovered the word "gay seducer."
Joe Brown's idea of delightful debauchery is croubling in a hill joints drinking cherry phosphates. Sometimes he drinks five or six at a time. Maybe somebody should give Joe a lecture on the virtues of temperance.
Several times this year I've referred to social suicide as social harakari. Which proves that even I can make an occasional mistake because the word should be spelled harakari.

"It should be a very interesting debate," Professor Buehler remarked, "because the visiting debaters are from the country debated. They both have wide views Christopher Paget Mayhew his father of the British Labour party while Philip Nokes is a Conservative."

*A Crowd of 1,500 Persons Sees a Superior Varsity Team, Led by Howard Egleman and George Golay, Roll Over the Fighting Frosh In an Uninteresting Contest
Dr. Ise study in Germany under Von Fisch and in England under Dr. Imms, whose laboratory research has received world wide attention.
The film to be used, "Can Insects Learn," was viewed with great acclaim in both Europe and the United States and is believed by some authorities to be the best movie of insect life ever filmed. A former student of the department of entomology here, who heard the lecture and saw the film in Chicago, wrote to the department of entomology saying that Dr. Ise's film was the best he has ever seen.
He Paced Varsity
A vastly superior basketball squad steam rolled its way to an easy 44-18 victory over the freshman squad last night in the opening game of the 1938-1939 cage season. Although they won in a walk, the Allen men showed little spark and played litlessly throughout the game.
The film, part of which shows experimental work on bees concerning their ability to discern colors, should be of interest to students of animal science, as well as those interested in insect life. The lecture is open to the public.
Religion Increases In Student Body
Howard Engleman, sophomore forward, led the scoring with 16 points. Cameron stood out for the Frosh with 6 points.
Increasing percentages of students at the University are reporting themselves members of some religious denomination, according to a study of registration figures, just before by George O. Foster, registrar.
In 1933, 1,272 men were reported as church members, or 70.7 per cent of the total registration. This year, with total University enrollment increased nearly 1,000, the number of men church members is 2,285, or 73.9 per cent of the men reporting membership, or 43.6 per cent are members or affiliated.
Among the women, the percentage has decreased from 79.4 to 78.3 per cent for membership, but the percentage in church affiliation is 94.5 per cent.
Methodists are most numerous, with 1,220 among the 4,140 reporting church preference. Other denominations with large representation are: Presbyterians, 797; Christian, 449; Baptist, 275; Catholic, 271; Episcopal 232; Congregational 222; and Lutheran, 170.
WREN To Broadcast Imaguration
The imagination of Pres. Wells
of Indiana U. will be broadcast to
morrow over WREN at 11 a.m.
Engleman had several "hot" streaks, the biggest coming in the third quarter when he scored six points in three minutes of play.
Hopelessly outclassed, the Frosh fought back to the best of their ability, but were unable to shake the strong variity defense. When they were able to shoot, however, they were remarkably accurate. In the first quarter they made one goal out of two attempts and in the third, they were able to ring the bell for two out of three.
From the opening whistle, the Varsity went out for blood. Big George Golay drove the first score into the basket after scarcely one minute of play. With this start, the Varsity pushed the count to 12-0 in the first eight minutes of play. It was not until just before the first quarter gun that the Froshe were able to score with Miller Cameron tipping one in under the basket.
Varsity Takes Early Lead
The score at the end of the first quarter was 17-2 in favor of the Varsity. Dick Harp was the sparer of the Varsity attack in this period.
Jack Flood, freshman forward opened the second period with a long shot which brought the crowd to its feet. The Varsity came back when Durand drove one in on a set-up and the game settled down to a passing duel. As far as this quarter was concerned, he held tight holding the Varsity to 12 points while they scored eight of their own. Engleman Makes Three Straight
Engleman opened the second half with six straight points and the Woodward of the Fresh dumped two goals through the netting. The game was slowed down considerably by numerous substitutions at this point. The teams ended at the end of the quarter was 37-14 in favor of the variety.
Cameron started the final period out by driving a hard one in under the basket, but a minute later Dick Harp stole the show with a beautiful arch shot from far out in the center of the court. Another tally by Cameron and two goals by Engleman ended the game.
Both teams played ragged basketball, but at times the varsity showed flashes of future greatness. The Varsity defense was at all times nearly air tight making the Fresh shoot long shot; Dick Hart, Lyman Corner and Neal Lydell worked well throughout the contest. The forward combination of Ebling, Kappelman and Logley looked good at times.
One thing that was especially apparent was that Kansas will have a wealth of strong strength reserves. The team has a breech tree men deep. Doctor Allen lost
