No Coaching Situation Probe Until December
In Statement, Dr. W, W. W. Davis, Athletic Board Chairman, Says Critical Editorial Is 'Well-Written' But 'Premature'; Is No 'Understanding' Between Group and Coach Ad Lindsey
No investigation into the Jayhawk coaching situation will be made by the Athletic Board until December, according to Dr. W. W. Davis, chairman, in a statement to the Kansan last night.
"There will be no change in the football set-up until after the season is over," Davis said, "but I can assure you that the board will give the matter serious consideration at its next meeting, sometime before the first of the year."
taste, but I do believe it was somewhat premature and tended only to break down team morale."
Speaking of the Kansan's Tuesday morning editorial criticizing the present coaching staff, the athletic chairman expressed the opinion that "the editorial was well-written and of good taste," but I do believe it ****
"Why didn't the Kansan wait until after the season was over and then start its campaign, if the editors still thought it necessary?" Davies quolied.
In regard to rumors that Gwinn Henry, director of athletics and former grid mentor at Missouri university, would take over the team before the season ends, Davis remarked: "It's absurd. The Board of Regents made a decision two years ago do no active coaching, and, until they fit to revoke that rule, it will stand."
When asked if there was any "un-
understanding" between the athletic
board and Coach Ad Lindsay when
he was given another chance two
years ago, Davis remarked: "None
whatever. You can't make a coach
sigm a contract that he will win
many games. Of course, we did
expect the team would make a better
showing after the shake-up, but
maybe winning games isn't the
important thing after all."
Mathematics Professors Have Articles Published
"I hope we can all forget about this thing until after the season is over, and then, if a change seems inevitable," Davis concluded.
U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, G. B. Price, assistant professor of mathematics, and Phillip O. Bell, instructor of mathematics, have written articles which address the important issues of mathematical journals.
Professor Price's article, in the American Mathematical Monthly for October, presents a "Program for the American Mathematical Association." Mr.装配ation is related to Analytic Curved Surfaces," appears in the September issue of the Duke Mathematical Journal.
Professor Mitchell's paper, "The Study and Teaching of the History of Mathematics," appears in the October issue of National Mathematical Magazine. It was also presented as part of the Society for the Study and Teaching of the History of Science" in St. Louis January, 1936.

Little Boy Blues who blow their horns in the University band will not sit under haystacks fast asleep from Nov. 9 to 13, but will go to Washington, D.C., where they will show the President and others that Jayhawkers can do some things well.
That is, they will go if the student body unites in making small contributions. And a student body whose main claim to fame these days is that "our band can lick any band in the Big Six" really should.
At the revival meetin' in Hoch tabernaure last Monday, Dean Paul B. Lawson was introduced to the audience as dean of the School of Fine Arts. However, it seemed to bother him not at all. Which reminds me in a very round-about way that he sometimes says to his classes, "Why that's as easy as making hair grow on my head!"
The boys of Alpha Kappa Pai (business fraternity) showed their Continued on page 2

"Some people seem to think that socialism hasn't a chance unless labor can see it and want it," Miss Wygal said. "That is a very dark point of view. I believe that we should go into the Labor as a force that is less liable to lessees of the strong Democratic and Republican tendencies in this party."

After speaking of the work being done in the other parts of the country, a general discussion followed by the members present.
KANSAN SUBSCRIPTIONS

Herrick B. Young, former press association correspondent in Iran and authority on Near East affairs, will be speaker at tonight's general meeting in Hoe auditorium at 7:45.
More C.S.E.P Funds Needed
The College Students Employment Project office is still receiving requests for students to be assigned, both to departments on the Hill, and to non-profit organizations off the Campus, such as the Lawrence city schools. The office is unable to meet this demand because funds are insufficient to put more students on the payroll.
Office Unable To Meet Demand for Additional Student Workers
"There are at least 30 students who are urgently in need of work." Miss Martha Tillman, executive secretary, declared, "and for whom we have no funds to grant jobs. However, a few of these can be taken care of at the end of this payroll period." (Nov. 2). The balance of the fund this month will not be large, because most of the students are working out their allotment time, Miss Tillman said. As soon as a vacancy occurs a student is assigned to take over the allotment. Several students will be placed at the beginning of the second semester.
Special Train For Aggie Game
Plans for the rally at Manhattan Saturday are rapidly taking shape according to Jack Nessly, c'39, head cheerleader. A special train of eight coaches will leave Lawrence at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning with the University of Alabama squad, the University band, Jay James, Ku Kui, and students.
"I believe that about two thousand University students will make the trip on the train and in cars," Nessly announced yesterday. "The rooters will sit on the fifty yard line on the Kansas section tickets may be obtained from the athletic office but they are going fast."
Religious Attitudes Discussed
The train will arrive in Manhattan at 11:00 o'clock and the parade will form at the Union Pacific station immediately with the band heading the procession. All students on the train and in cars are asked to be ready to march to the main district of Manhattan.
A rally held on the campus Friday morning featuring peep talks and yells will start the weekend festivities and the climax will be reached with the rally Saturday noon in the Manhattan business district.
Lepitus, King Reflect Ideas of Jewish and Negro Races in Matters Of Faith
A reflection of the religious attitudes of Negroes and Jews was presented last night when Irving Leptias, director of Jewish education in Kansas City, and Henry King, secretary of the Christian Movement among Negro students of the National Council of Student Churches Associations, addressed audience in Heeb auditorium last night.
Mr. Leptas, the first speaker, in discussing "Religion and Life in Judism" said, "It is impossible for one to understand the religion of the Jew without understanding those things which followed the closing of the canons of the Old Testament.
"Fundamentally, the Jewish people are students. This is evident in their language where the word for boy and student are the same. It is impossible for the Jews to believe that any boy would not by nature be a student. This love of study is" the basic element in the Hebrew religion which has grown up through a study of the words and stories of their words. We believe that it is not enough to accept the existence of God, we believe that you must live that existence in your thoughts."
Rev. King, who spoke on "Christian Requirements for Effective Living," said "God means for men and women to stand on their own feet. At the same time men and women must stand together. And you must stand with them. Your interest so wide that existence will have the qualities of life."
In conclusion Mr. King remarked,
"We may have race prejudice, or
we may have Christ. We cannot
have both. And in choosing Christ
we find a realization of the issues
and meaning of life."
According to his belief, Anglo Saxon civilization is doomed to decay unless the people themselves subordinate their wills to those of the community. For unless they do not they cannot find the will of God.

News May Bring Repercussions
International repercussions may come from innocently intended items, even in small newspapers of the United States, Herrick B. Young, member of the University Christian mission and formerly press association correspondent in the Near East, told the History of American Newspaper class at the University yesterday morning.
He related how General Motors had worked for weeks on a reciprocal agreement by which that company was to have the exclusive sales rights for motor cars in Iran in ex-operation marketing of Persian rugs in America.
On the very day the final contract was to be signed, the shah was shown an editorial filler item from a small Oklahoma weekly paper, with some comment to the effect that despite the change of the name of the country, his father's name, one of Iran, roses would probably continue to bloom as they had before.
To the shab, this innocent item was the reflection of the opinion of the American government, and he was insulted by the levity. Later he understood that the site had been constructed to contract invading millions never was signed.
Foreign governments, Mr. Youn,
said, generally subscribe to press
clipping services and often get distorted views of America and American ideas from the detached clipping that come to their attention.

Great Christian Leader Considers Five Aspects Of Modern Awakening
Intellectual awakening, social reform, economic development, political change, and new spiritual consciousness were the five fields of revolution in India which Dr. E Stanley Jones, outstanding Christian leader, discussed for his audience yesterday afternoon in Frazer theater.
After pointing out that India as it is today is a land rich in contrasts, Dr. Jones launched into an attack upon the statement that the East is the "Unchanging Earth" "For Dr. Jones commented, "in India there is nothing but change. In fact the new emperor of the country is revolution, and life is being recast by a series of very rapid and complete changes. For India knows no gradual change."
Developments Cover Five Fields These new developments which cover the fields of intellect, society, economics, politics, and religion were taken up separately by Dr. Jones.
Intellectually, he pointed out. India has turned her back on the past. And where formerly one age merely followed the pattern of the preceding age, the India of today looks forward to a society where materiality has a new significance. She is seeking to rid herself of the materialistic world and help her material and spiritual worlds.
Caste System Breaks Down
Very closely tied up with these new movements in the social change which is accelerated by the breaking down of the caste system. "In the past," Dr. Jones said, "India has sat by the roadside and tapped her forehead as she bewailed her fate but now she is beginning to doubt the consequences of the caste system. Where the outcasts once accepted their fate, they are now in open revolt."
Political and economic changes are coming to India through similar avenues. And both avenues are greatly controlled by the powers of the English government, which is seeking to develop India along moderate lines. As evidence of the numerous changes Dr. Jones pointed out the new freedom of the Indian woman.
Women Organize Clubs
"These women," he said, "have organized their own clubs, and to a person attending their meetings the ideas discussed seem as reflections of the twenty-first century. All have adopted the idea that the world was made for woman as much as for men."
In the struggle of the Indians for independence and freedom from British domination, Dr. Jones emphasized the fact that these people carried on a war where there was meek submission and respect for the enemy without any bitter hatred.
Finally Dr. Jones brought forward the great spiritual changes which are going on in India today. "Every month there are 12,000 Indians who are being converted to Christianity. And this," he concluded, "is the greatest triumph of all."
to $2,300, and of this sum $1.-
50 has already been secured.
The balance of $750 must be
gained through donations.
A steering committee consisting of the heads of the M.S.C., W.S.G.A., University Daily Kansan, Ku Ku's, and Jay James has been organized to consider ways and means for collect-ir the money.
Work will be carried on through independent and organized houses as the subscriptions are gathered. At 4:30 this afternoon the group will meet in the office of the Daily Kansen to formulate detailed plans. Ar-rangements will be made to collect donations on the Campus.
Of the $1,550 assured the band for their 2,400-mile jaund, the largest single item is a $600 allotment from the band's own travel fund. The Men's Student Council will give $200; the W.S.G.A., $200; band members' personal donations, $500; and a concert en route, $50.
Will Play Two Concerts
The organization will play two concerts on its way to Washington. The first will be at Evansville, Ind., Wednesday evening, Nov. 9; for the members will receive two meals and a night's lodging. On Thursday and Saturday nights the musicians will sleep in the busses.
The second concert will be played at Wheeling, West Va., or Pittsburgh, Pa. Although arrangements for this program are not yet definite, Mr. Wiley is confident that they will be completed without difficulty if the trip is made. For the second performance, Thursday night, the men will be given one meal and $50. Busses Cost $2,000.
Busses Cost $2,000
Charge for the three buses carry the band is the $2,000. Three hundred dollars will be expended for meals on the way to Washington. On the return trip, band members will buy their own meals.
At 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, the caravan will leave the Campus. It will reach Evansville at 6 o'clock on
Pref. Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, spoke yesterday in favor of the trip. Said Mr. Wiley;
"The band is on duty from September until June. The boys rehearse five mornings a week at 7:30; this is a saxophone realized by a few persons on the Campus. I feel that they deserve this proposed trip to Washington. Only 5 of the 96 boys have ever seen Washington, and the trip will be planned as an educational one. The band would greatly appreciate the co-operation of the students in making this dream a reality."
ie evening of the same day, and eat night will play a concert.
night night will play a candle.
On the road at 7 a.m. the next day,
Nov. 10, the group will either go to
cheering or Pittsburgh for its second
music concert. Following the
concert that night they will embark
once more and drive all night to
reach Washington Friday morning.
Will Tour Capital
Friday afternoon and evening, and Saturday morning, will be spent sight seeing the nation's capital. Friends and alumni in Washington will furnish the travelers with three meals and lodging Friday.
Saturday afternoon, Nov. 12, the band will broadcast over station WRC on the NBC network. After performing at the game, members will start home immediately and reach Lawrence about midnight, then the return to only short rest rests and passes for neapls will be made.
Student members of the steering committee leading the campaign for contributions are: Blaine Grimes, c'39; C. H.
