Europe Mobilizes Fighting Men; Stands By For War
London, Sept. 24—Europe mobilized at least 5 million fighting men tonight for a final decision within the next six days on war or peace. Disclosure that Adolph Hitler had given Czecho-Slovakia until Saturday to surrender the Sudeten lands to German fighting forces on threat of invasion, threw the great powers of Europe into a frenzy of preparation for any eventuality.
France ordered a partial mobilization of her 5,420,000 trained reserves in addition to more than 800,000 already under the colors. The French orders were "expected to put at least 1,500,000 under arms. Prominent Benito Mussolini, with a regular army of 450,000 and 1 million reserves, shouted to cheering Fascists at Padua that the "totalitarian nations—Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy—would fight together if war comes."
The home fleet sailed apparently for the North Sea as Prime Minister Chamberlain returned from Godeberg and laid before his cabinet Hitler's demands. Britain's army and reserve total 450,000 in the United Kingdom alone. Premier Edouard Daudier and Prime Minister Georges Bonom will fly here as they did last Sunday to confer with Chamberlain in regard to Hitler's demands.
In London newspapers called for a firm stand by Great Britain as Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain prepared to consult French government leaders today on the next move in central Europe.

Publisher. Daily Kansar
The committee picked by the Men's Student Council to meet with Henry Werner, men's student adviser, failed to take any action yesterday morning in the selection dance manager for the coming year.
Mr. Werner said yesterday that the present council did not know of the precedent of receiving applications in selection of the dance manager and for that reason the committee did not select a man. Applications will be received for the job by members of the MSC and by Mr. Werner during the coming week. However the present slate as selected by the MSC last Wednesday will be considered along with any new applications as might be handed in.
Mr. Werner said that "finding precedent in the selection of dance manager was not known to the present council, and, in order to secure a dance manager who will serve the best interests of the Union building I suggested to the Men's Student Council. The dance manager be selected by throwing open, application to any qualified and interested man."

Mr. Wrener said that "the present slate of five applicants will stand as already selected and may be enposition, which is one of the better
The committee agreed to his suggestion and have asked the council to take this up at their meeting, which will be Monday, Oct. 3.

West-hillbillies and others wil wait long hours at the Gamma Ph house for;
Suzy Lowderman—whom grammar would have called a cute tike. And most of we would agree with grammar. Mary Ewers—twin sister of Sig Alph Jerry. A two word description includes the word smooth.
Mary Anne Cook--who's parents have another daughter, Roberta. A beauty with her big sister's personality.
Now that all the boys are through with the work of rush week and registration and enrollment, and now that classes have started and everyone has plenty of time to play, perhaps the time has come when a few of the better playmates should be introduced.

Flood Loss Increases
Lite and Property Toll Leads to Appeal for Federal Aid
(By The United Press)
Boston, Sept. 24, — (UP) — New England still counting an ever increasing loss of life and property, appealed today for national assistance to help it repair the damage caused by the worst disaster, in history.
The governors of five states called a conference with WPA administrator Harry L. Hookins on Monday to coordinate relief and reconstruction programs in the 450 cities and towns ravaged by hurricanes, floods, and fires.
Federal and state authorities estimated it would take 30,000 men six to eight weeks to rehabilitate the region. With the gradual restoration of communication the full effect on Tuesday's viable outcome appears momentary.
Practically everyone and his brother jammed into the Union building last night to take part in the well-known Chancellor's Reception, which takes place once a year at the beginning of the school year.
Damage in New England, New York and New Jersey was estimated at $350,000,000 and the known dead including two killed in Quebec, numbered 608. Both figures may rise.
Crowd Jams Union Building To Receive Official Welcome
Dr. Lindley and the majority of the faculty greeted both old and new students with handshakes and formal greetings to make everyone feel as important as possible and heartily welcomed. For instance, if one was officially recorded on the registration books as Joe Deakle, he might be introduced to that effect at the beginning of the line, then by the middle of that line he should recognize himself to be Don Jokes and end up as being Bjee Blow, the Eskimo. But all in all, a free舞 is a free dance and each one who attended was offered a chance to meet a great many of his present or future instructors.
Two More Grads Get Teaching Jobs
Prof H. E. Chandler, director of the teachers' appointment bureau, announces the placement of two University students in teaching positions.
Marion Drake, A. B., 31, will teach mathematics at Newton; and B. F. White, A. M., 26, has been supervived of schools at Mulvenant.
Friday, Professor Chandler will go to Oranga, where he will give the dedication speech at a recently erected high school building.
'Blossom Time' Cast to Work
"Blossom Time" rehearsals, under the direction of Joseph F. Wilkins, professor of voice, will start this afternoon at 2:30 when the cast of 19 begins work on their parts in Frank Strong hall.
Professor Wilkins has received all speaking parts and vocal scores, the scenery was built during the summer and this week select groups of 15 men from the Men's Glee club and 20 women from the Women's Glee club will begin work on the choruses.
"Blossom Time," which will show Nov. 14 in Hoch auditorium, is the first musical play to be presented at Campus in approximately 15 years.
The nucleus of characters around which the play is built up is composed of Franz Schubert, Mitzi Schuber, and Mr. Kranz. These parts will be played by Jack Lafleur, c'29, Professor Wilkins, Mrs. Wilkins and Fred Lake, c'unel, respectively.
Arleen Irvine, b'39, has been elected president of Tau Sigma, professional dancing sorority, for the coming year. She will be assisted by Betty Smith, c'39; Viera Garaldine, Geraldine Ulm, e40 treasurer.
Sigmund Romberg adapted Franz Schubert's scores for "Blossom Time," and the dialogue and lyrics were written by Dorothy Dennelly.
Arleen Irvine Elected Tau Sigma Head
The women will hold their first meeting of the year at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Robinson gymnasium. Tryouts for the sorority will be held throughout the coming week. Miss Jane Bynn, 32, former active member of Tau Sigma, will be an assistant in the department this year.
Students Arrive Better Prepared
—SAYS SNYDER
"I Inspiration gained from the instructors and not from the physical aspects of the institution is what mattered most from their colleges," he continued.
Regent Addresses Those Who Attend Seventy-Third Annual Opening Convocation
The group of students that has come to the University of Kansas within the past few years assuredly come better prepared, physically and educationally, than those of 40 or 70 years ago," Dr. H.L. Snyder of Winfield, member of the Board of Regents, told those attending the seventy-third opening convocation of the University Friday morning. Dr. Snyder expressed the good news that he had been told, of their plans for a ten-year building program for this and other state educational institutions..
"I doubt if you can find in America today a man who looks back upon his alma mater because of his experience," he said in a situation with great pride, he said.
"We have been hearing much the last few years about the lack of opportunity for the young men or young women of today because of the economic depression which has existed for eight or nine years.
"You will find thousands and hundreds of thousands of men who remember the institution of their choice in education as having been filled with men who not only taught facts as known but also with many unfamiliar, temporarily expanding facts, anticipating changes that come in the world.
Sophomore Star
"I have a feeling that perhaps the very thing which we consider a difficulty now may result in producing a group of men and women who will more nearly measure up to the requirement of many students, any generation that has passed before them. In the group of students that come to the University today, there is about the same percentage who come with desire to obtain an education that will fit them for better living, and by better living I mean their training in law, medicine, journalism, business, teaching, or any of the vocations that are

NOTES OF TEXAS-KANSAS TILT
This column should be heeded,
"Notes from a Dying Reporter."
Spectators and players left the stadium feeling all in after what probably was one of the most, if not the most, thrilling game ever played on Memorial stadium field. At the half somebody shouted, "Who would ever think we could do this to Dana Bible." Before the game was over it looked as though Bible still had the old Indian sign on the Jayhawkers.
Russell Chiwild, diminutive but scrapy Jayhawk regular end, was taken to the Watkins Memorial Hospital yesterday evening following the Texas game in which he received a head injury midway in the fourth quarter.
CHITWOOD TO HOSPITAL
The Kansas squad still looks like the best in years, if for no other reason than because Lindsey has some reserves to work with. Bill Bunsen, Replogle, Sullivan, Bukaty, Burge, Massare, Crown and Jenkins, to mention only a few, don't weaken the team a bit when they're in there.
It was reported that he had received a slight concussion, but that he was progressing well and would probably be released from the hospital today or tomorrow.
By Bill Fitzgerald, c'39
"That hot sun seemed to have a stimulating effect on the Texans, while the Jayhawkers seemed to be wilting a bit as the game went on. Two drum majors stalled during the game," he added, "not playing 'The Tiger Hat' either."
Ralph Miller could have it picked up a lot of votes for governor after that first quarter. He was doing a great job of ball carrying, passing and kicking all afternoon, and certainly lived up to advance notices. The blocking for that 95 yard run after a pass interception was perfect. The Texans watched Ralph score from prone positions.
Jim Reed, Washburn publicity
man, is expecting Washburn to give Kansas a whale of a game here, and we are inclined to agree with him. Jim slipped on his hunch that Wichita would beat Army, but he misused them that far very often.
Speaking of game stars, you couldn't leave out Bryan and Lawson of the Texas team. If they had caused any more trouble the outcome wouldn't have been so favorable. Bryan had to hand a real bain a real hand when he was replaced by Davis in the fourth quarter, but Davis was as hard to hang on to as his predecessor. We're looking for Texas to go ahead and win a good share of its games, if they can patch it up. The Kansas backs weren't having much trouble finding the holes when they opened up.
First Half Offensive, Led by Miller. Is More Than Texas Can Equal in Late Aerial Rally; Fighting Lindseymen Thrill Crowd of 11,000 With Spirited Play
By Lester Kappleman (Kansan Sports Editor)
The first anniversary of the rebirth of a football spirit was celebrated yesterday afternoon by the Kansas Jayhawkers, and in the wake of the festivities, Texas of the mighty Southwest Conference suffered a 19 to 18 defeat.
But it was not without trepidation on the part of 11,000 astounded spectators, that the victory was obtained. A huge 19-point lead, amassed by heads-up and fighting Jayhawkers in the first period, almost melted away in a last half, which saw the Longhorns' famed aerial offensive sweep to three successive touchdowns, and then fail to achieve victory by the margin of

Replies went in for Amerine. Rebeph points over the ball in the fumble and Kansas took the ball at mid-turn.

a dropkick
Victory lay in the sure right toe of little Chester Gibbens, who raced into the fray to dropkick the point after the last Jayhawker touchdown, and then trotted out to resume his place on the bench.
Footballs filled the air during the last half when the Texans opened up with their aerial circus and it looked for a while like the basked wrestle the Kansas lead, but the game ended with Ed Hall, Kansas fullback, holding tightly to the ball on his 21-yard line.
Ralph Miller, sensational sophomore back, lived up to all advance reports in the first half of the game, when he personally led the team to their first two touchdowns. A recovered Texas fumble on the Longhorn's 48, launched the first Kansas offensive. Alternate passes and runs placed the ball on the five-yard stripe, where a short pass, Miller to Shirk, netted a touchdown. Hall 'netted to convert for the extra point.
Two minutes later, Miller, after fumbling a punt on his own 32, intercepted a Texas pass by Dawson on his own 5-yard stripe, cut over to the west side-line and streaked 95 yards to the second Kansas touchdown. The Kansas fans, the most effective seen by the Kansas fans in a long time. Every Texas man was down as Miller needed into the open.
The Joyhawkers completely dumfounded the crowd with another quick scoring thrust late in the second period. Bill Bunsen, who replaced Hall at fullback, was stealing the show with his running and passing during that quarter until Frank Bulaty reeled off 28 yards to the Texas 43. Max Repogle then skirted around left end, then cut
oack and raced 12 yards, until he was knocked out bounds on the ball. On the second play Hall hit center for the necessary yard and the touch-down. It was here I h a t Gibbons and made valuable contribution to the Jay-

The Texans threw their first effective offensive into gear early in the third quarter, when after taking the ball on their own 13, a series of passes from "Bullet" Gray, David Robinson and Devon carriers carried the ball to the Jayhawk 20. A 15 yard pass by Befus Bryan to Captain John Peterson, who carried it 5 yards to the goal line, netted the score. A fake
