Ise and King Discuss Hitler At Union
Eilah Gible, C4, 40, vice-president of the Y.M.C.A. introduced the three speakers. At the conclusion of the addresses, the speakers questioned each other, and then members of the audience were allowed to ask questions.
In setting the scene for the following opposing speeches, Mr. McCluggage compared the recent political maneuvers abroad to a football game. "The democracies, from one fumble after another, have advanced in the reverse direction and the ball is now in Hitler's hands."
European Political Situation Is Subject 'o Debate Sponsored by Y.M. and Forums Board
Mr. Ice took the stand of facing the issue, and of setting out to remedy the situation. On the other hand, Mr. King, with his hope for complete neutrality of the United States, presented the idealistic point.
"The future of democracy and civilization depends upon stopping Hitler.ow," declared John Ise, professor of economics, and "trying to stop Hitler with military force is worse than the consequences of having Hitler." stated the Rev. Joseph King, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, at the first meeting in attendance at the Memorial Union ballroom.
"The United States, as the most powerful nation in the world, should encourage all the liberal forces and bolster up Great Britain and France in opposing the dictatorships abroad." Professor Ise excelsaled. "Furthermore, the threat to this country in the world would be ahead of this country can be its democracy if Europe gets under the control of Fascist dictators."
The introductory speech, presenting the background of the current European political situation, was given by Marion McCuggleage, associate professor in the Department of Forum was sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and the Student Forums Board.
LAWRENCE KANSAS TUESDAY OCTOBER 4. 1988
Reverend King avered that America was headed straight for Fascism if she went to war. This would mean that the state street government control, and that there would be no freedom of speech or of the press."
Mr Ise declared that Hitler would not have taken part of Czechoslovakia had the United States taken it. He also took part in France, Germany and Russia against Germany.
The forum was well attended, and there were many more questions sent up to the speakers' platform than could be answered. The audience became keenly interested as the professor and the minister good-naturedly attacked each other's views.

Hitler Into Sudetenland
Seger, German Sudeten, Oct. 3. —(UP) - Adolph Hirte rode in the Sudetenland today as the conquering Caesar, pledging the protection of the "German-steel and sword" while his army imputed modified martial law and threw neighbors of the Czech army all fight.
Declares Martial Law.
Part of Czech Army
Is Jailed
To the cheering Sudanese Germans of Egar, the proud and beaming Hitler delivered a seven-minute speech proclaiming that "they would never again be torn from the reich."
He told the 3,000,500 Sudeten that Germany stood ready to draw the sword for them and that they must stand ready to do the same should the German land and the German people ever be menaced.
"This greeting is at the same time a vow that this region will never again be torn from the Reich. Over this greater Reich is laid a German shield protecting it, and a German word defending it," he announced from a tribure in the main square of this riot-town town.
"In this community the will of the German nation will now be the fate of its future, and no power in the country can any longer threaten this future."
Bety Barnes, c29, and Kermit Franks, c40, will have charge of the program. The discussion will concern personality development and the problems relating to that subject.
A plan will be developed through which the commission meetings will discuss these problems, which are brought before this first meeting.

A Jay Jane Gift
License plate decorators, in the shape of footballs with "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." written on them, have been ordered by the Jayanes. The decorators can be obtained from the Jayanes Thursday in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall. These plates, the Jayanes believe, are a permanent way of identifying University students and alumni.
Jayhawker Training Table Is Approved
Local Athletic Officials
Say Plan Will Go Into
Effect Immediately; Will
Serve Even Meal
In a conference late yesterday afternoon between Gwinn Henry, director of athletics, and Dr. W. K. Davis, chairman of the Athletic Board, it was decided that the training table for football players will go into effect here as soon as proper arrangements can be made.
The Big Six conference voted to allow the training table at the meeting of faculty representatives at Columbia, Mo., Saturday. The plan was suggested by athletic directors at their conference last May and put over for action by the faculty officials this fall.
Before the meeting at Columbia the local Athletic Board authorized Dr. Davis to support the plan.
The Athletic Committee is anxious to get bids for the meals, and until that time it is not definite as to how many players will be served, or where the dining hall will be located.
The only restriction placed on the conference members was that not more than $1,000 could be spent for food and that no instruction could be given at the table. The schools were not required to adopt the new standard because it was necessary to establish the training table if they desired to do so.
"There are 51 athletes on the varsity squad, but it will be up to the director of athletics and Coach Adrian Lindley as to who will be eligible for the training table." Dr. Davis stated last night.
The faculty head believes that the players should be served as close to the practice field as possible, and institutional Union building may be used.
Coach Lindsey was very much in favor of the plan, saying, "The training table is a great thing because all the boys will get a chance to get a good, warm, balanced meal after practice." The coach explained that the football men return to their fraternities and boarding houses to find that the evening meal is over and they have to take left-overs.

M. S. C. Plans To Study Dormitories
Professor Chiapuso opened his program with four Chopin Ballades. Each displayed his superb technique. His second group included three selections arranged by Godwyk, Schubert's "Molto Allegro" which was popular with the audience; "The Cuckoo" (Daquin) which Mr. Chiapuso had arranged himself the group concluded with Mozart
Committees To Survey Needs and Possibilities Of Housing Plan for Men at University
A program to make a survey of the needs and possibilities for men's dormitories at the University was introduced in a meeting of the M.-S.C. by Blaine Grimes, c39, president of the Council, last night.
But those who crowded into the auditorium were well repaid for their efforts despite the heat. There is no doubt the excellence of Mr. Chiapuso's technique and though one may or may not then appear earlier and to us, heightening interpretation of the numbers he played.
Within a few weeks the investigations will be summarized. Although dormitories could not be included within the present University building program, other means of financing the project might be found if the reports are favorable, members of the council believe.
If you didn't go to the concert that night it is, perhaps, just as well for you couldn't have gotten in if you had. The auditorium in Frank Strong hall was packed to hear Prof. Jan Chiapusio in Chapman Hall, which were placed in the aisles and many persons sat in the halls outside to hear the recital.
The committee appointed by Grimes last night to investigate the University dermitory possibilities consist of Bob McKay, c40; chairman, Bill Farmer, c40; and William Mulligan, c39; who will study other campus dermatitis is Mullen, c39; chairman; Fred Lauter, b38; and Claude Burns, c39
And it was hot. Spectators who had nothing to do but sit and listen fanned themselves with their programs, nipped their brows and the men even took off their coats. It must have been plenty warm inside the black tuxedo Professor Chapusso was wearing, without the exertion it required to play a full-length, heavy concert program.
two committees were appointed by Grimes to study the plan. One committee will investigate the house situation on the Hill; another will review men's dormitor systems at other colleges.
Constitutionally, nine nominees for the position are to be named by the Council and one of these selected by a special committee, but the members bowed to a precedent of former years in sanctioning all applications.
Working smoothly in a rapid meeting, the Council also voted to accept petitions from the student body for the University dance management, provided the decision is approved by Chancellor E. H. Lund-
Chiapusso Presents Concert To Capacity Audience
As a routine matter of business, the Council also approved the renewal of an agreement to appropriate three and one-half per cent of the net student activity ticket funds to the University band.
ALPHA PHI OMEGA
If Chancellor Landley passes c. the ruling made last night, the special committee will meet within a few days to choose the dance manager. Members of the committee would have to be invited, cunm, C39, C. H. Mullen, C38, Bob Marietta c. 40, and Heury Werner, adviser to men.
At the previous meeting of the Council Bill Seitz, b39; Jack Townsend, b38; Phil Russell, c40; Irwin Bornstein, b42; and others positioned for the position.
There will be an important meeting of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, at the Pine room tonight at 8 oclock. All members are requested to be present.

"Sonata in B Flat Major." The Rondo movement of the Sonata is apparently a tuneful favorite of Mr. Chiapusso's for throughout the movement he hummed the melody semi-audibly.
The third section included three Ravel members "Jeux d'Eau" (our favorite); "La Valeille des Cloches" (another huminger-dinger with the artist doing the humming) and "Abbadone" (the most modern of this modernistic trio.
Mr Chiapusco concluded the program with a number aimed to please the musical layman yet arranged sufficiently difficult to astonish the best musicians in the crowd. It was Strauss' good, old "Beautiful Blue Danube" waltz with a full complement of runs, trills, and arpegion that detracted not from the melody yet furnished much food for musical thought. In this number the artist hummed again.
Humming is in fairly good professional repute. Toscanni is an inveterate hummer, often humming so loudly as to interfere with the performance of the persons he is directing. Mr. Chiapusso is only a light hummer and just audible during the softer strains.
Mr. Chiapusso lived up to his repression last night as being one of the nation's outstanding pianists. He has a touch, speed, facility and ease of performance that is not only pleasing but invigorating to hear.

"This year's squad has a chance to become the greatest in Kansas' history," said "Phog" when speaking of the chances for the year. The 1937-1938 championship crew wow by sheer courage and the superb play of one man—Fred Praille. This year, "Doc" has veterans in every position and a brilliant group f sophomores.

team so the Jayhawk can be properly tested and faults in play can be corrected before the trip to Stillwater.
Major problems facing the Kansas coach today is how to fill the big shoes of Fred Pralle who finished his college career last spring Dick Harp, regular last year is back. There is little doubt but what he will be one of the men who will go to one of seven men—Corilis, Durand, Florall, Nees, Kline, Messinger or Hogban.
All of Kansan's forwards last year will be out again this season. Battlefing for the starting positions will be Golay, Ebey, Johnson, Sullivan, Engleman, Arnold, Geiger, McKinley and McCaslin.
The all important center, or "quarterback" position will be missing the services of Sylvester Schmidt who graduated last spring.
