Directing the University
Band 26 Years
Joseph C. McGanles, 66, for 28 years director of the University of Kansas band and member of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts, died at his home here early yesterday. He had retired from active work in the University in the summer of 1934.
Mr. McCanales, a native of Endicott, Neb., was born Aug. 19, 1871. He came to the University of Kansas in the fall of 1907, with a B.S. degree from Kansas City. He enrolled in the School of Law, from which he received his LL.B. degree in 1909. In the meantime, he took over direction of the University of Kansas library organization of 24. During his student years he brought the band to a membership of 36, and obtained
During that period he built up the band to a membership of 45 men. One year he bought uniforms for this group. He began the practice of giving Campus concerts, and of good will tours into the state, in addition to playing for Campus events. The band had been first at Conference 1910.
more suitable uniforms. In the fall of 1909, the University employed him as band leader and instructor in band instruments, a position that he held until he resigned in the summer of 1919.
Built Band to 45 Men
In 1913 the University made provision in its budget for the band, and by 1925 membership had increased to nearly one hundred. At that time it was divided into a "red" band of 58 pieces for concert work, a "blue" band of 40, to be combined with the first on special occasions.
In 1919 Mr. McCancles resigned his position, but returned in the fall of 1921 as instructor in band instruments and harmony, and band director. In the fall he was made assistant professor of theory and wind instruments and director of the band, and in 1920 associate professors in band instruments and instruments and director of the band.
Master of Music in 1930
During these years he continued his training in music, taking courses at the Chicago Musical College, from which he received his bachelor of music degree in 1926, and his violin professor, William the cornet, his favorite instrument, under Weldon, and the violin under Henry Nurenberger. His musical compositions were numerous especially for cornet and for band "Onward Kansas" is perhaps its known of his band compositions.
“Mac,” as he was affectionately known by band members and students generally, was not communicative about his early experiences, but mentioned experiences as a troup $ ^{r} $ in theatrical one-night stands, and days parading with circus bands.
Mr. McCanles' brother, W. W. McCanles, received his A.B. degree from the University in 1909, and his law degree in 1908; another brother, John S. McCanles, was a student here in 1912.

Invite F. H. Guild To Aid Council
The Illinois legislative council meeting in Chicago for the first time since studying the Kansas council in session at Topeka, voted unanimously Monday to invite Dr. F. H Guild of the political science department of Kansai University of Kanazawa to research a university research bureau in Chicago for the purpose of gathering facts and information on proposed legislation.
NOTICE
Mr. Abraham Weinlood, sr., Hutchinson attorney, was guest speaker at the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity luncheon held Tuesday in the Union cafeteria. "Psychiatry and Criminal Law" was his subject of discussion, the faculty and students of the School of Law attended the meeting.

The Kansas council has been in existence since 1933, the first council of its kind in the country. The Illinois and Nebraska councils were formed in 1867 but first meetings this fall. Sixteen of the 22 members of the Illinois council spent two days, Nov. 18 and 19, in Topeka attending the regular November meeting of the Kansas council. The Illinois委员 were involved in research which is available to the council and legislature under the Kansas system.
All members of the Spanish Club are urgently requested to stop at the Spanish office this Friday to register names for the Christmas party.

Alabama Goes to the Rose Bowl
Crimson Tide Is Chosen
As California's Rival
For New Year's Day
Classic
Berkley, Calif. Nov. 30—(UP)—It's California and Alabama in the Rose bowl game at Pasadena on New Year's Day.
Priestley's announcement followed a telephone conversation with H. G. Crist, director of athletics at the southern university, and ended the conversation by saying the surrounding California's choice of an opponent for the holiday classic.
Kenneth Priestley, graduate manager of athletics at the University of California, announced tonight that Alabama had accepted the California bid.
Priestley made no mention of Fordham, the great New York team which many westerners favored after the game. Fordham eliminated itself from consideration.
The tall, thin California athletic director confined himself to the brief announcement of the Crimson Tide's acceptance. He did not reveal when the invitation had been accepted or when Alabama finished its season on Thanksgiving—in selecting the eastern representative.
California was chosen to represent the West on Nov. 22, after the Golder Bears had finished their season with a 13-0 victory over Stanford that gave them the Pacific Coast conference title.
As western representative, California was privileged to select its opponent—and California picked a player who has lost a game in the Rose Bowl.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 30—(UP)—After 24 hours of speculation and rumors of the wildest sort, it appeared tonight that the Pitt Panthers had voted against participating in any college game and were sticking by their guns.
Pitt Apparently Rejects Bid
It probably will never be known officially whether the Pitt players were offered a chance by California, West Coast Rose Bowl representative, to make their second consecutive trip to Pasadena, when they decided yesterday to turn thumbs down on all "bowl" bids.
Acceptance or rejection of a post-season game was a "closed issue" as far as the university is concerned. John Weber, university business manager, said as the denied that the players demanded spending money and a two weeks' rest before resuming practice.
But it appeared virtually certain that the Panthers were asked whether they would accept should a bid be tendered. In that event, Pitchuck closed the window a financial plum somewhere in the neighbor-brotherhood of the share of the gate receipts given the eastern football team.
The real reason why the player decided against a post-season game seemed to be that they had enough football and were content to rest on their season's record of nine victories and a scoreless tie with Fordham—a record which brought them the national recognition as the nation's No.1 team.
All CSEP students should have their time slips turned in to their supervisors at the end of the payroll period tomorrow.
In case any student has changed his address, it will be necessary to report it to the CSEP office so that there will be no delay in receiving his money. It is possible that the checks will be mailed from Topea in order that they may be received before the Christmas holidays.

"Japan wants peace and if it is settled, Japan will do what most of the people want her to do. Japan surely did not want this war, because she was having trouble in the north of Manchukuo. China did not because Chiang Kai-Shek knew that the country was not prepared.
Burton Crane Defends Japan
The blame for this war does not rest entirely upon Japan, as some seem to think," continued Mr. Crane. "In politics, the Chinese have played their hand. They began with an anti-foreign campaign. China had a problem, that of unifying her people, and she did as Hitler began, with hating, first the foreigners, then the Japanese.
Insisting that Japan has found that she can only last against her weakest opponent a year. Mr. Crane spoke of a peak of the aspects of "Asia at War."
Foreign Team Debates Here Tonight Maloney and Voorhee Represent the University In Contest With Anglo Scottish Sound
"The peace of the world demands instead of boycotting Japan—a sure way to freeze out her fighting resources—that the world keep Japan out of the fascist group," said Burton Crane last night in the latest of the lectures presented by the Student Forums board.

and she imports all of the basic munitions
materials such as zinc, iron,
copper, cotton, and tin. Just before
this struggle began, Japan began
to use all of her gold reserve.
Then if Japan is boycotted by such
nations as Britain and America,
and if no peace is forthcoming, Japan
will have to enter into an alliance
with Germany or Italy, which I do
not think she will do.
"Resolved: That the American government cannot hope to keep out of European affairs to its own advantage."
The foreign team, composed of David Sealand-Jones, University of Wales, and Harold H. Munroo, Uni-
versity of Wales, have been the alternative side of the question.
Both members of the foreign team are veteran debaters. Sealand-Jones is a Glamorgan county honor scholar at the University of Wales. He spoke extensively in South Wales on political issues in 1835 and 1837, being a former exponent of the industrial society. He is a student of geology, Welsh, English, and German, and is an honor student in the department of European history.
Munroe and Sealand-Jones are or a tour sponsored by the Foreign Federal Union, in which they have debated at the Universities of Missouri and Iowa. Munroe is representing the Scotch National Union Sealand-Jones the English Nation Union.
Dean Paul B. Lawson will preside.
The Kansas team is likewise a veteran debating pair. Voorehes, who is president of the Men's Student Council, was the winner in the contest. He is a Summerfield scholar at the University.
Munroe, who has attended the University of Glasgow for 12 years, is connected with the Student Union Society, an extremely active debating group. A leader in religious activity, he has attended two International Missionary conferences of the world's Student Christian Federation. His course at the University of Glasgow has emphasized English, mathematics, French, German, Latin, and Greek.

In 1936, he was the winner of $50 first prize in the Kansas stat speaking contest, and won first place in oratory and second place in extemporaneous speaking in the Missouri Valley debate association conference.
Maloney, who was graduated from the University in 1937, is an assistant instructor in English and is doing graduate work here. Last year he won the annual junior-senior oratorical contest.

"The greatest part of the propaganda began last year, and it was fanned by such continued incidents as the Manchurian incident. Five truces were made and each time one side attributed the breakage to the other."
"I don't believe that Japan is allied with Italy," declared Mr. Crane, "and while I don't defend Japan," he concluded, "I do believe that Japan will be driven into the arms of Russia if sanctions are maintained."
"There is one thing certain if sations are placed on the country, Japan practically will have exhausted her resources by the end of March, and her fighting material will be impaired by June."
The meeting was presided over by Dean Moorehead, c'38.
Court Hears Trial; Now in Deliberation
Tony Immel Demands Penalty of Expense Assessment and Strict Probation for Damage on Aggie Campus: Student Who Gave Name of Charles Fleming Disclosed To Be Raymond Napier
At the conclusion of a two-hour hearing yesterday in the trial of six University of Kansas students and one student man who raided the Kansas State College campus early this month, Tony Immel, 3rd l, prosecuting attorney, demanded a penalty including assessment of the expenses incurred as the result of their actions.
Members of the Student Supreme Court began deliberation on their verdict, when testimony was completed at 4:30 p.m.

Movie Added To Lecture Series
"The Human Adventure," an 8-ree talk picture which sketches the rise of man from savagery to civilization, will be shown Feb. 10. A contract was signed yesterday by the management of the Community Lecture Course which will bring to the University Campus and the community this educational film.
The picture was produced by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, under the scientific supervision of Dr. James H. Brested, archaeologist and historian, and director of the museum of the film is by his son, Charles Brested, executive secretary of the institute.
The film, which required more than three years to complete, grew directly out of the researches and explorations of the Oriental Institute. The picture carried the audience by airplane through the lands where civilization first arose. Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, Iraq, and Jordan followed in dispatched 14 expeditions. Eight of these are observed while engaged in the scientific recovery of the lost chapters of the human adventure.
A few of the interesting items pictured in the film are: the tomb of King Tutenkhamn; the great temple of Amon at Karnack, 2000 years under construction; excavation and occupation by Solomon in 1000 B.C.; 14 layers of civilization in the explorations of the Hittite cities, at Alisher; the mule-square city founded by the Assyrian emperor, Sargon II, at Khorsabad; the Babylonian cities at Tel Amar, in the ancient city of Nineveh; the great work of Darius the Great.
The distributor of the picture,
Wendell G. Shields, of Rockefeller
Center, will provide modern sound
for the showing at the University.
The picture is being added to the regular program of the lecture course, and holder of season ticket number 1006. The student admitted without additional cost.
Dean To Explain Placement Help
A meeting of all seniors interested in using the facilities of the business placement bureau this spring will be held this evening at 7 o'clock in the Administration auditorium.
Dean Frank T. Stockton will ex- plain the operation of the bureau, the use of qualification records, and will also give information which will be helpful to the students who pre-examine themselves for interviews.
The business placement bureau is being set up earlier than usual this year due to the large number of seniors enrolled in college. Students seeking employment with business concerns upon graduation in June. Requests from business concerns for satisfactory dates to interview men are being made.
Dean Stockton has already received letters from General Electric, Firestone Tire and Rubber company, and the Goodyard Tire and Rubber company. Representatives from the Firestone company have definitely arranged to be here on Feb. 9 and 10, and those of the Goodyard company plan to visit the University on March 23.
NOTICE
There will be a pledge meeting of the Sigma Gamma Epsilon fraternity at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Geology building.
It is essential that all qualification records, accompanied by photographs, be on file in the School of Business office not later than Jan. 1.
Expenses which the defenders will be assessed if the court follows Immel's recommendations total $44.30 according to a letter from Manhattan authorities. A $28.30 charge by the Riley county sheriff for returning the men to Lawrence, and a $16 expenditure for removing paint which the men spread on campus property, make up the total bill.
eil, which he represented in the trial, Immel further asked that the students be placed on strict probation, subject to expulsion for breach of probation requirements.
In a surprise move at the opening of the hearing, Eddie Rice, 3rd l., attorney for the defense, announced that Charles Fleming, one of the "non-student" defendants, is Raymond Napier, c.40, who had given the name Fleming as an alias at the time of the arrest in Manhattan.
Decision To Affect All Seven
The discovery of Napier's identity will not change his status in the final decision, it was brought out in the trial, because all seven defendants will be affected by the court's sentence. Through a provision in the Student court charter, persons who are not University students, involved in any case heard by the court, may be governed by its decision by declaring their willingness to submit to its jurisdiction.
The decision of the Student court will be passed on to the M.S.C. for approval and then to Chancellor E. H. Lindley for final sanction. Do Voorhees, c38, president of M.S.C. was un certain last night might be made known that the verdict would be made before the final ruling of the Chancellor.
Two Hours Questioning
Completion of the questioning in two hours was made possible by concessions on the part of both counsels. Tom Ise, 3rd l, chief justice of the court, stated at the opening of the trial that the purpose of the hearing was to enable members of the body to determine the penalty, rather than to prove or disprove facts of the case. In keeping with that policy, each of the seven men admitted participation in the painting of the K.S. C. campus, thereby eliminating a great amount of questioning.
Besides Iac, the chief justice, members of the students court who will fix the penalty are Sam Millett, Philip Nohle, c.39, and Bishall Gough, 3rd l.
In a further step toward elimination of testimony, Immel, on behalf of the Student Council, permitted the supposition that the men did not know of an interschool pact abolishing such pre-game activities as painting the rival campus, to be introduced as a fact in the case.
Ray Kinney To Speak On Student Situation
