Court Deliberation Continues
N o Decision Reached
In Secret Meeting; Two
Recommendations for
Consideration
By Harry Hill, c'40
The Student Supreme Court will continue deliberation today in the trial of six University of Kansas students and one former student, charged with painting the Kansas City College campus the night of Nov. 9.
No decision had been reached last night before the court after a secure meeting yesterday afternoon. Testimony in the case was completed in two-hour hearing Tuesday.
Sam Mellinger, 3rd l, one of the five justices, said last night that the court had not arrived at a verdict, but would meet again today to con- clude. Tom Iae, 3rd l, chief justice, could not be reached for comment.
The court is considering two recommendations of the Men's Studen Council, presented through its attachments to the Court. The conclusion of Tuesday's hearing.
Two Recommendations
The recommendations were: That the men be assessed $44.30, the amount of the bill submitted by Manhattan authorities for cleaning up and the fees of the Riley county shrift; and that the men be placed on strict probation, violation of which would result in expulsion.
At their trial Tuesday, the seven defendants admitted they went to Kansas State for the purpose of painting the campus, but testified they were not aware of an inter-conflict that led to stop such pregame activity.
Following the court's decision, the Men's Student Council and Chancellor E. H. Lindley must approve the penalty before it is final.
Action To Make Examples
The defendants told the court they believed G. W. Welch, special watchman and deputy sheriff who accosted them, to be a Kansas State student.
Chief Justice Ise stated at the trial that the purpose of the court action was not to make examples of the students involved in the present case. The judges' policy which will serve as precedent for similar trials in the future.
The jurisdiction of the Student Supreme Court in this trial lies in a pact established between the University of Kansas and Kansas State College in 1929 to "abolish forever, all manner of school fights and pregame activities between the two schools." Under the agreement, it is the duty of the representative council of either school to "severely punish" offenders from its own student body.
Expulsion from the University is the maximum sentence which may be levied by the Student Court, although such punishment was not allowed. The other possible penalty is the deduction of University credit.
Japan Sends More Soldier To China for Big Attack
The six University students involved in the trial are: Herman Jansen, e; 38, Darrell Mayer, e; uncil;俞May, e; 39, Thomas Devlin
Shanghai, Thursday, Dec. 2 — (UP)
— Japan today was reported to have landed 50,000 soldiers at Chinian in an apparent drive on the metropolis of Canton, a principal source of Chinese military supplies.
Foreign military attaches said that if Canton is taken, a vital blow will be struck at huge trade of the British crown colonies of Hongkong, and the already tense relations between London and Tokyo thus strained further.
Hongkong exists almost exclusively upon commerce with Canton, the financial and commercial center of south China.
When Is a Court Not a Court?
Does the student court really have any power? Do its decisions mean anything? How could it be reorganized to form a valuable part of student government?
Is the independent organization possessed of a valuable idea, let itself be bogged down with parliamentary squabbling?

So he dabbled like having to turn anyone away on the last two night's performances, as we had to do for the first play. I urge everyone to make his reservation at the earliest opportunity to avoid the possibility of sell-outs."

New One-Mill Tokens To Rectify Coke Taxation
Collegians need no longer plank down two-mill tokens for cokes. Along with other taxpayers, they can now demand change when a two-mill token has been paid as tax on a five-cent purchase, for yesterday one-mill tokens came into general use in Kansas.
The man who is snagged in on a coke date can now pull a Sir Walt Raleigh stunt. He may not pay for both cokes - or cups of coffee this kind of weather - but he can pay them with cash. He can buy his pocketbook, since he has become to paying a four per cent tax on his five-cent purchases.

Will Give Band Concert Tonight
t i b u t e to McCanles Is Outstanding Selection On Program; Jauhawk Trumpeters To Play
At the dress rehearsal of the Uni-
versity band last night, Director
Russell L. Wiley put the finishing
touches on the three week's work in
in preparing the organization for
the thirty-first annual fall concerts
that is to be presented tonight in
Hoch auditorium at 8 o'clock.
The band has been working for the past three weeks with this concert especially in mind. As a rule, it is the practice of the organization to sight-read symphonies, overseeing the numbers for the practice in rhythm and tempo. One group of this type of music is placed on the racks of the musicians each week. It is the plan, announced Director Wiley, that the band will sight-read 250 numbers before the close of the year.
Tribute to J. C. McCanles
Perhaps the outstanding performance of the program will be the musical tribute to J. C. McCanles, but next in line comes the number including the three Jayhawk Trumpeteres. They will play a number that was written especially for the three aces of the trumpet world and plays them at the Arena Bomb Master's' convention in Toronto, Canada, in 1924. It is a very difficult number, said Director Wiley, and these three students of the University are able to handle the number excellently.
Director Wiley has headed the organization for the past four years, and has made much progress with the organization during that time. He is also a C. J. McCleses, who had been in charge of the bands for 26 years.
Uniforms Designed by Wiley
With Director Wiley came a new design for the uniform of the band. The band is still wearing the same type of uniform that Wiley designed for the Kansas University band. He changed the uniform from time to time in rather a minute manner. The uniform tailoring company for the band was located in the uniform in its catalog. Even the emblem on the hat was originated by Mr. Wiley. It is the fighting Jay-hawk with the burst of sun for a background, which he used with permission of copyright owners.
The program will start promptly at 8 p.m. and last until shortly before 9:30 p.m. The admission will be delayed, those not holding activity tickets.
A. Van Horebeck Is Seriously Ill
A Van Horebeck, gardener foreman of the University's building and grounds department, is seriously ill in Lawrence Memorial hospital.
Confined with bronchial pneumonia, Mr. Van Horebeek is under the care of Dr. Donald S. Coburn of Kansas City.
His wife underwent an operation a few weeks ago and just returns from the hospital Nov 21. Mr Vai was discharged on Friday at the following Tuesday.
He has been an employee of the University since 1922.
Mr. Van Horebeke, who is 53 years of age, is a native of Belgium, having come to the United States after the World war.

"controls the destinies of one-fourth of the inhabitants of the earth." Emphasizing the economic side of America's isolation policy, he said that the debate must deal with America's power in a world economy.
"If Europe does not sell her goods to America, she cannot buy American's products," he said. "American tourists have furnished protection to enable American farmers to plow under their crops."
"The issue is war," declared Voorhees in his first statement, indicating that the University team, defending the negative side, took a political and military view of the question.
"There will be a war in Europe," he emphasized, "and if we enter European affairs we will get into 'hat war.'
England's Position
"The position of England is: 'You will be happy if you mix in European entanglements.' What they mean is—'We will be happy if you form European entanglements'," was Voortheen's opinion.
"How can we hope to rally public support in the United States around a policy of mixing in European afar—or at least staying out of war?" he concluded.
Continuing the affirmative's arguments, Munroe of the Anglo-Scottish team, speaking in a conversational manner, said that in the stupidity of its economic policy, the United States has been equal to Great Britain.
"Since the World War," he said, "the only great international idea was Woodrow Wilson's: that peace is indivisible."
America's Position
Munroe said that America's policy of peace at any price encourages aggression and, in the end, makes war inevitable.
"The only alternative," he said, to a half-hearted neutrality policy which America originated but now remains under the control of many among the nations of the world.
"if economic collapse comes in Europe, America will also suffer economic desperation," Munroe declared. "The idea of world peace can exist only with America's co-operation where now chaos is increasing."
In presentering further arguments of the negative side, Maloney said, "We are proposing that America decline
