Chancellor Says No More About Charges
Howard Payne's Accusation Concerns Alleged Political 'Hair-Splitting' At University
Chancellor E. H. Lindley had nothing more to say last night concerning the charges made against him Friday by Howard E. Payne, a member of the University Board of Regents and chairman of the Democratic state committee's speakers bureau, that the Chancellor had used "hair-splitting" political discrimination against Young Democrats at the University.
Dinner. No Dance
Chancellor Lindsey said that there had been no distinction between the political groups and that he had only been carrying out a rule inaugurated by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs which prohibited political speeches at public舞会 at the University. The rule says nothing in regard to dinners. The Union building is open for any University group to hold its meetings whenever desired.
Payne, in a radio address Friday evening over event WREN charged Democrats had been denied the right to present their candidates at a dance given by the Young Democrats in the Memorial Union building earlier in the fall and that the Young Republicans were invited to attend a dinner given in the same building Friday. Deines the Charges
Dinners at the University do not have to be authorized but dances come under the supervision of the adviser to women or men's student
Plans were made last spring by the Young Democrats to hold two dances for University students the nights of Sept. 30 and Oct. 21. The first dance was authorized and held in the Union building with the provision that no political announcements be made as provided for by the rule laid down by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs. In these rules, neither of the student political parties would be permitted to hold a free dance which would include political talks. Both clubs could hold dimers and have partisan talks but neither could hold a dance for these reasons.

A visiting minister here for the Christian Mission appeared as guest preacher at one of the Lawrence churches Sunday. The local minister preceded the visitor's sermon with a lengthy prayer, "Please forgive me," and gave guidance to the speaker's words, and give guidance to the congregation strength."
Sir Robert Rhode pulled a Sir Walter Raleigh for Lady Eleanor when she visited the city Saturday. As Mrs. Roosevelt was leaving the Woman's Club, Sir Robert opened the limousine door for her. Then he took his place beside the driver. On the way to the Eldridge, Lady Eleanor complained of the collisions in his coat which she gently declined. The Robert gallantly offered his coat which she had declined. The Hillbillies who had gathered at the hotel saw him help her alight and shake her hand as she thanked him for his kindness.

Homecoming Group Plans For Parade
Offer Twelve Cash
Prizes for Decorated
Floats; Will Feature
Hobo Contest
At a meeting yesterday, the Home-
coming Parade Committee made
plans for one of the largest and most
traditional Homecoming celebrations
The parade this year, to be held on the eve of the Homecoming football game with the Cornhuskers, Friday night. Nov. 4, will include the usual decorated floats, the tottchlight paraders, and the University band. In addition the Lawrence Memorial High School band, the Haskell Institute band, and the Lawrence rum corps have been invited to participate.
The committee approved the suggestion that the Hobo Daze hobbes be urged to take part in the parade, and decided to offer cash prizes of $2 for the tackiest dressed man, woman, and couple.
Prizes for Floats
The Jay James, and the Ku Kus will be asked to co-operate with the parade committee in giving prominence to the hoboes' participation in the parade by contacting all the organized houses and the independent men and women in charge. They will be urged to "encourage" their freshman members to take part
Last year there were 32 floats in the parade. This year, in all probability, there will be as large a number, and the committee is offering one more prize than last year. First prize in the float competition will be $10, awarded by the Daily Kansas; second prize, $8; third prize, $7. For the next nine floats there will be awards of $5 each. In all, $80 will be given in prizes in the parade competition for floats and dress.
More Colored Flares
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will be requested to furnish trucks to carry parade floats. Floats planning to have floats are asked to get in touch with the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at once to receive designation of their places in the parade. Each house must give the secretary the name of the person n charge of its float committee.
In order to add color to the parade itself, the committee voted to do away with the aerial display which has been customary in years past and use the money thus saved to buy colored flares, to be carried by those in the parade. More than three hundred of these flares will be used.
Judges for the float competition will be chosen in the same manner as last year—to represent no organizations or groups on the Hill. Judges for the Hobo contest will be chosen of one member of the Jay, the Ku Kus, the K-Men, and from each of the Pan-Hellenic Councils.
Non-Campus Judg $ ^{\mu \nu} $
As a means of minimizing the danger of fire or injury, it was decided that the old form of torch—the kerosene can lamp—will be dispensed with this year, and flares will be used throughout the procession.
This year, in order to do away with the congestion that has marked some parades in the past, an effort is being made to gain the prohibition of all parking along the route of the parade, from South park down Massachusetts street, and to radio station WREN.
WEATHER
Kansas: Fair today and tonight rising temperatures today.
Wage-Hour Act Is Applied To Industry
Seven State Governors P l e d g e Co-operation With Andrews in Enforcing Statute
Washington, Oct. 24—(UP) -Em-
ployers, workers, state officials, lab
organization, and the general public
joined with the federal government
today in applying for the first time
Fair Labor Standards act to 11,000-
000 men and women employed
in interstate industries.
From governors of seven states—four in the deep south—came pledges they would co-operate with the wage and hour administrator Elmer F. Andrews, in enforcing the statute which fixes an immediate 25 cents an hour minimum wage and provides for payments cash at a rate of one and one-half time for all work in excess of 44 hours a week.
President Wm. Green, meantime, announced that the American Federation of Labor has established a nation wide network of educational and enforcement agencies in 520 cities to make the new law effective. Similar to the Connecticut are being formed in about 500 other committees, he said.
Check by Labor
In a circular letter to the agencies and to all of the affiliates Green called upon organized labor to assume responsibilities for seeing that the new standards are enforced. He enclosed adffault forms on which violations of the act can be reported, but warned as did Andrews, against hasty protection during the initial investigation and apperation.
'Fine Spirit' Praised
Green emphasized that the act's provisions are beneficial to business as well as labor, but added that his organization would guard against any attempts by employers to cut wages or lengthen hours under the pretext that such action is sanctioned by the wage-hour law<sup>12</sup>. He also called upon university students to establish higher standards than set by the act through labor organizations and collective bargaining.
Praising the "fine spirit" shown by a majority of the nation's employers, Andrews said he "would find reports that some firms were closing rather than to pay the 25 cent hourly minimum." He reiterated that the act is a compromise and probably will confer with President Roosevelt regarding the entire matter when the Chief Executive returns from Hyde Park tonight.

Lectures By Jones, Koo Open Christian Mission Week Here
Discuss Faith And Chance
Rev. E. Stanley Jones Says Evolution Theory Does Not Rule Out God
The Rev E. Stanley Jones, speaking at the opening meeting of the University Christian Mission Sunday night on the topic "In an Age of Science, Can We Behave?" said no evidence of evolution does not rule out God."
"Less faith is required to believe in God than to believe in chance," said Dr. Jones. "A scientist has figured out that the chances of the man's death are better taking the form we know, one is in en trillon 420 billion times.
"Which, I ask is the greater evidence of skill and power—the driving of one billboard ball directly into a pocket, or the driving of one against another," he says. "Once another, until finally a desired one is driven into its pocket?"
"Some science and some religion may be irreconcilable, but real science and real religion supplement each other. Science uses precision instruments to try and test; religion explains in terms of values just as important, even though intangible. Science can analyze a mother's tears as mucus and salt, but only religion can analyze their real worth.
"Science says, 'Test, try, prove.' Religion says, 'Have Faith.' By faith! I do not mean credulity that believes anything it is told, but the faith that is open-eyed and explorative."
Greeks Hear Mission Speakers
Beginning last night and throughout the week, guest speakers are appearing at all the organized houses. The speakers are delegates to the University Christian mission, meeting at the University this week.

Life, Religion Must Relate Says Chinese
Christian Leader Speaks To Audience of 1,000 At Mission Week's Second Meeting Last Night
Dr. T. Z. Koo, Chinese Christian leader brought a background of Oriental culture modified by an American outlook on Christianity to bear on his theme last night when he told more than one thousand persons attending the Christian Mission meeting how to answer the problems of a struggling modern world.
"The way to relate our religion to the critical stage of our present life will come when we do two things," said Dr. Koo. "First we must take our life as we are living it today, and let our experiences illumine the body of truth that religion has given to mankind of truth and use it to challenge the way we are living now."
Dr. Koo cited the fact that we are living in a rare history-making period when the old capitalistic order of life is perilously close to crumbling before a communist society is struggling to be born.
he did not attempt to say what position should be taken in the matter, but in his smoothly forceful manner he thrust forward the fact that it is imperative for Christians to study the question and answer it for themselves and for the world. To illustrate his points Dr. Koo related personal experiences he knew while working in China and demonstrated how his own feelings were entirely impersonal toward lower classes of laboring Chinese until he "came to know God," and could see life from other persons' points of view.
At the end of his speech, Dr. Koo played two oriental songs on his purple bamboo flute which represented moods of Chinese feeling. The first piece was "Joyes to an Anner" and also "Joyes to a Chinese Bamboo Flute," a Chinese lullaby.
Continuing the theme of the feeling of international relationship through a common bond in the love of God, Dr. Koo told approximately 100 persons remaining for a brief question session of the work of American missionaries in war-ridden China.
"If men ever saw God walking among men, our people have seen it in the help of missionaries during the past 12 months," he declared.
After he had explained the fundamental differences between Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, Dr. Koo added a touch of humor to his convocation address yesterday morning in the auditorium by saying that in the Christian religion you are taught to love your enemies—which is not hard to do when you are separated Japan from China. "But now," he said, "the enemy is almost sitting on my doorstep waiting to be loved."
Because time did not permit a complete discussion of his general topic, "The Heart of Christian Living," Dr. Koo discussed only the phase which dealt with the Christian faith in personal living. The two other phases were spoken of last night.
Until he was 14, Dr. Koo's own religious background was that of his native country, China, and its Buddhism. He attended Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.
"I have known Christ," he declared. "He has taken my ideas of God and transformed them into a man, with whom I can communicate."
"God is an abstract word to some people," he said, "but Christ can make it clear for you.
"Your soul learns how to speak to God as a Father and not as a cosmic urge or state of equilibrium."
