China Is Logical Place For Japanese Expansion
"The Japanese people are very much opposed to war but because of a powerful military government their wishes are not taken into consideration." Dr. T. Z. Koo, leader of Chinese students, asserted at the second of his lectures, "China Speaks," last Friday afternoon.
—SAYS KOO
Doctor Koo analyzed the situation with which Japan is faced, as in: The first place she has more than 70 million people in an area the size of California. Secondly, she is largely an industrial nation sorely in need of raw materials and machinery for her goods, and this is the crux of the situation that the Japanese government is trying to alleviate.
The logical place for Japan to expand is China, Doctor Koo said. "In order to more fully understand the Chinese situation we must
country," Doctor Koo said. For three hundred years the Chinese government was under the reigns of a powerful regime. In 1911 a new government was set up, but for sixteen years there was confusion. Finally in 1927, a convention met in Nanking and drew up a constitution comparable to that of the United States. This was published in 1934.

The new government was just beginning to function, said Doctor Koo, when the Japanese began war and halted the period of reconstruction which was just beginning.

Play Tickets Selling Out
Twice As Far
In tests made at DePauw University by Psychologist Paul G. Fay and Physical Education Instructor L. L. Messermith, it has been found that basketball players travel almost twice as far under the new rules as they did in the past. A metal "follower" (left), attached to recording instruments, is moved on a miniature court to correspond to the movements of each player. In four games tested it was found each man averaged four miles, as compared to 2½ miles under old rules.

Subject
Dale Carnegie, New York author,
radio commentator and lecturer,
will speak on "How To Win Friends and
things" at tomorrow night in
hoc auditorium
Attendance at Warrensburg State Teachers College in Missouri, several schools in New York state, and a commercial college in Baltimore, gave Mr. Carnegie sufficient background to conduct speaking classes in large cities in the United States, and in London and Paris. He has travelled as a lecturer in the United States and Europe.
Leading topics in Mr. Carnegie's lecture are: "How to interest people; how to make people like you; what to do with arguments; how to get co-operation; rules for happier interactions which have come out of experience and research work will be discussed.
Has Lectured in Europe
He was the imparsorie for Lowell Thomas and Sir Ross Smith in 1921 and 1922. His interest in Lincoln led him to do research work on the career of Abraham Lincoln, and in 1932 he presented the result of his labors in "Lincoln the Unknown." Conducted BBC Broadcast
Mr. Carnegie conducted a broadcast each Sunday over NBC on "Little Known Facts About Well-Known People," and in 1934 issued a book with the title of his weekly broadcasts. During the past winter he has also conducted a weekly newspaper article about historic histories of people who have been helped by applying his rules for happier living.
Mr. Carnegie is visiting his parents who live in Belton Mo., and will drive to Lawrence in time for the lecture.
Department Plans Student Circular
The department of English is preparing a circular, containing information about some 18 or 20 English teachers, to send to more than a half million students in the Middle West, South, and Southwest.
The circular will give the qualifications for college English teachers—their degrees, experience, publications, memberships, personal contact, selected group of teachers who are seeking appointments in this field.
Applicants must be properly enrolled with the Teachers Appointment bureau and seriously seeking teaching positions for the year 1938-39. They must have received, or be about to receive, a higher degree in English from the University and be especially recommended for college teaching by the graduate committee of the English department.
G. N. Bebout, instructor in English, is chairman of the committee. A similar bulletin, sent out last year, drew replies from a number of schools and several University candidates were offered positions.
To Hold All-University Oratorical Contest
Graduate Shoots Ducks With Her Camera
Because Lorene Squire, "32, was unable to shoot ducks with a gun, she took up the hobby ten years ago of shooting them with a camera. Today she specializes in duck photography and travels hundreds of miles into the wild lake country of Monitoba and Saskatchewan in order to catch these shy fowl in their natural habitat. Miss Squires has "braved" dust storms and heavy rains to bring back her pictures. In the March 21 edition of "Life" magazine there is a page and a half devoted to this feminine photographer's accomplishments.
Miss Squires majored in dramatics while at the University.
