The program will be an hour in length and will be broadcast over KFKU. It is open to the public. on the SHIN by Don Hays Since so many slugs have been wondering why we have been waiting space with discussions of the new technology, I am following to prove its practical value. Problem: To prove that freshmen have no real value. Hypothesis: "Foo" times "goo' equals 1. Step 1: Solving for "goo" and multiplying by 2, 2 "foo" equals 2/"goo". Theorem: Stop times go equals traffic. Stop equals 1 go. Substituting in equation 1 and spelling stop backwards we get: Step 2: "Foo" equals 2 pots/0. Since a pot over nothing is equal to a freshman we have: Therefore: Many equals "foo" plus more. Many minus more equals "foo." Step 3: (Modern accepted theory.) Many men smoke but "too many chew." By differential integration we discover that "foo" is less Step 4: Since many may be more than more or less than more, we find that "for" can have no real value, and is an imaginary quantity. Conclusion: Since "foo" equals a freshman, and since "foo" has no real value, it is now evident that a freshman has no real value. Tonight the freshmen will throw the first class party of the year, which Lessons Come High . what of the recent "senational" disclosures of the Balfour papers? Has the United States learned her lesson, or will we be the dupe in the next war? Can the American public carry propaganda and it as such? Honest Thief, Dishonest Public Is the code of ethics of the thief higher than that of commercial concerns? Is the public any more honest than professional thieves? Read the Editorials . . . page 2 Read the Editorials . . . page 2 What Did We Buy? Reports that the entire 39,000 seats in the stadium will be put on sale for the Homecoming game with Missouri have started murmurs of well-justified indignation among students who; theoretical,y have activity ticket seats somewhere near the 50-yard line. In an attempt to clarify the situation, the Kansan last night was assured that the statement did not include the student section, and fears were in part allayed. However, last Saturday at the Kansas State game when only approximately 19,000 persons attended, a large percentage of those in the student section were admitted on paid tickets and were not students. Many students were forced to sit in seats that were highly undesirable, while many others stood up or sat in the aisles. An estimated crowd of at least a third more will certainly not alleviate the situation. Students are not quite sure what they bought when they purchased their activity tickets, but when they have a reserved section at the games which do not draw crowds, they naturally assume that the same will be true for the good games. Is it? Second Band Plays Student Directors and S o l o i s t s Perform for Small Audience By Virginia Roach, c'40 By Virginia Roach, c 10 A small but appreciative audience listened to the concert given by the second division band of the University yesterday afternoon in Hoch auditorium. The concert consisted of seven numbers, each one directed by a student from the School of Fine Arts. This plan gives the students a chance to display their ability to direct before an audience. The directing of the following students was a feature of the concert: Kenneth Shook, f4; Richard Rice, f4; Louis Maser, f4; umel; Eleanor Gregory, f4; Rex Conner, f3; and James Van Dyck, f39. These directors received fine co-operation from every member of the band, each section responding nicely to the baton. An obe duct played by Eleanor Gregory and Robert Forman was well received by the audience. It is interesting to know that Robert Forman wrote the second part which he played. Zentih Fowler, c29, featured as a clarinet solist, played a difficult composition with clarity and tone quality that earned for her much praise. The band, which was organized to give men and women who cannot play in the regular concert band an opportunity to receive actual playing experience on instruments other than their major instruments, promises to develop into a good secondary concert band. Broadcast Frosh Debates The first of a series of radio debates was presented Wednesday night over KFKU when a freshman team from Kansas State College debated a University team. The visitors took the negative of the question "Resolved That the several students should adopt a system of legislature, Betty Kimble, c41, and Leslie Thompson, c41, represented the University. In this series of eight debates presented by the freshman squad there will be one more inter-collegate contest while the rest will be intra-squad encounters. The intra-squad debates will have been from 2.30 on Friday, on Fridays. London, Nov. 18—(UP)—Great Britain has persuaded the dominions to make broad tariff concessions for an Anglo-United States trade pact by arguing that such an agreement will be construed abroad. “It would not against totalitarian regime,” it was reliably earned tonight. The final debate will be an inter- collegiate affair. Dec. 8, at 8 p.m. against a team from the University of Missouri. Fencing Team To Meet britain Seeks Trade Pact The government, it was said, brought strong pressure on the dominions to bring about concessions and early support for the pact in a belief that the "moral and psychological" effect of a reciprocal agreement would far outweigh any trade advantages or disadvantages. The University fencing team will meet in Robinson gymnasium Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. Members of the team and all those who are taking elementary or advanced fencing are urged to attend. Sky Night To Be Held With Homecoming Activities A special Sky Night will be presented next Wednesday evening at 8:30 at the University observatory as a part of the Homecoming program. Dr. N. W. Storer, assistant professor of astronomy, will demonstrate his research in fresh retouch escape and talk on a famous twin-star exhibit. James Edson, who is connected with the staff of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., will lecture on Mars, the earthlike planet. In his talk he will summarize the physical conditions of the different planets and will discuss possibility of life on them. He will also illustrate his talk with photographs of the different planets. Sky Night has been popular in the past and much knowledge can be gained by attending these lectures. The scheduled photographing of the eclipse of the moon Wednesday night was prevented by heavy layers of clouds which made the taking of pictures impossible. Rehearse For Vespers Choir of One Hundred Begins Practicing for Christmas Music The Christmas Vesper choir held its first rehearsal Tuesday under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout, of the School of Fine Arts. The choir is made up of 100 voices from the University, who will have part in the candle-light processional and recessional and will sing four Christmas numbers on the program to be presented Dec. 12. Rehearsals will be held in the Administration building auditorium this afternoon at 4:30 and next Tuesday at the same time. According to a report from the Fine Arts office, those who did not report for the first rehearsal and fail to report this afternoon will be dropped from the choir since there is a large waiting list. The Westminster A Capella choir has given up its Tuesday rehearsal to allow rehearsal time for the larger group.

The tall and partly bald statesman, who usually wears an ancient frock coat, was informed of the award in New York City, where he is making a lecture tour, crossing for international harmony. The award committee gave the prize to Lord Cecil for "distinguished and important work in the League of Nations," and for "promoting peace by helping the President Wilson, organize the League of Nations." Lord Cecil, fourth Englishman b receive the peace prize since its establishment in 1901, will be give 158,463 Swedish crowns, or $40,850 He is opposed to aviation because he knows that not even the advantages of civil flying can outweigh the horrors of air warfare. He often has described himself as "an incurable idealist." United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the Nunsen Refugee Bureau in Geneva, which aid pro- vocation in Iraq, were consoled with Lord Cecil for the awards. For many years he was referred to as "Britain's Woodrow Wilson," because of his championing of the League of Nations. The new Nobel peace prize winner said he was "utterly surprised" that the award had been given him. "I should have thought that Cordell would have been secret of state would have been a most admired choice," he said. New York, Nov. 18.-(UP)-Lord Cecil of England, Nobel prize winner, declared tonight that "rehabilitation of the League of Nations" was the greatest single hope for peace. He added that it was not necessary to "referee比赛 but use the national several small schools which should be adjusted." Peace Prize Winner Hopes To Adjust League Student Given Essay Mention James M. Bradfield, c38, has received honorable mention in the assay contest sponsored recently by the Atlantic Monthly. He is the third University student to be so honored in the last four years. Bradfield's essay, "Proclaiming My Religion," was recently published in the magazine's supplement and was used in a number of interviews from all parts of the country. A big round-up will be planned at a lunchroom held next Monday noon at the Jayhawk hotel in Topeka, Lacius Eckes will act as president. William L. Butler has invited the Kansas coaching staff to be guests at a rally held in Kansas City, Tuesday, Nov. 23. At the time of Bradfield's entry in the contest he was enrolled in a writing course instructed by Rose B. Morgan, associate professor of English. Rallies Planned by Alumni Kansas; Partly cloudy Friday and Saturday; slightly colder in extreme southeast portion Friday. WEATHER Approximately three hundred independent students crowded their way into the Memorial Union ballroom last night for an hour dance. It was the first time an Independent student's dance had been judged by a judging from last night's response, it bids fair to become a permanent feature. The feature of the dance was the "cutting" by both men and women and the lack of a large stag line. A carefree air of abandon expressed itself as the Independents trucked and danced to the music of Red Blackburn's band. The group all over the floor; finally the crowd resolved itself into one large group for a "Big Apple" dance. At the close of the hour an announcement was made that the Independents would meet Monday evening at 7:30 in Pine Room of Union building to discuss plans for future dance and social activities. Scholarship Group Elects Six Seniors rtn Beta Kappa Names Outstanding Scholars of 1938 Graduating Class Of College Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity, last night announced the election of six seniors in the College of Liberal Arts.

Maybe the starving民兵 have come to our mountain for refuge, but I'm sure it's the Turks who gave Thanksgiving. Anyhow, there are certainly several queer looking, bright-colored headresses running around the Hill these bleak, wintry days. (Yes, that's an animation of dead objects, but you get the idea.) Officers of the Kansas chapter are President, Mary Grant; vice-president, Domenico Gagliarlo; treasurer, Jenkins; secretary, Raymond Nichols. Counsellors To Hold Party for Frosh Women The Federation of Counsellors, an organization formed this year to aid new students, will hold a party tomorrow afternoon from 3 to 5 in Room 1014.

Starving Armenians?--No, Just Co-eds Setting A Stylish Pace This is one of a number of parties planned to acquaint students with each other. Dorothy Trekell is in charge of arrangements. All freshman women are invited to attend, whether or not they have been called by their counsellors. Paris, Nov. 18—(UP) Germany formally asked Japan on Nov. 6 to end hostilities in China, pointing out that Japan was weakening herself and lessening her potentialities in fields, it was really reported tonight. Germany Asks Japan To Stop Jean Thomas, c'uncl. Visitors to the Campus probably take a look and say, "Oh my, how quaint. Do you suppose they'll have a street dance tonight?" But on see-and look the day, yes, the wooden shoes. When Grandma got her loom out and started weaving, and sat with a book and knitted between the Searfs Keep Ears Warm 'ines, she thought she was making it possible for some poor soul, Grandpa, for instance, to keep his neck warm and his beard intact. Then along came the industrial revolution, which boosted the value of wool, and took such work as knitting and sewing for the home. This change was instrumental in the disintegration of the family group, we're told. But the factory operators, too, thought that they were aiding someone in keeping his neck warm and cold-free, and helping him to keep down the expense of Vaporub, when they knitted multi-colored scarfs of Continued on page 2 Jayhawkers Leave for Arizona Thirty-three Start for Tucson; Douglass Left at Home as Injuries Force Lindsey To Start Make-Shift Backfield; Game Captain Hardacre and Replogle May Not Play A squad of 33 weary University of Kansas football players and their coaches left yesterday morning by train for Tuson, Ariz., where they meet the University of Arizona tomorrow. Clarence Douglass, star fullback, was left in Lawrence as the result of an attack of flu. It is hoped that Douglass will be in condition for the Missouri game next Thursday. Floyd Ray's Dictators Will Conduct Yearlings Annual Dance Frolickers Swing Tonight Freshman Frolickers will attract Mount Urethan's social spotlight tonight when Flory Ray and his Hardware team perform at the annual yearling class dance. Ray, whose popular swing style won the favor of West Coast dancers last season, has just started a tour of the Middle Wing in which the Frolic will be one of his first engagements. Two more first-string men who are making the trip. Forrest Hardacre and Max Replogle, are not expected to play because of injuries. Hardacre, senior left end, has been named game Joe Alexander is a crooner possessing a smooth baritone style remarkably similar to Bing Crosby's. Attractions other than dance music have been features of the Dictator's appearances. Floyd Ray himself is arranger for the band, which accounts for the predominate of jazz music in the group's repertoire, type in the group's repertoire. Ivy, Vern and Von, are a girl's rhythm trio whose distinctive harmony arrangements of "hot" numbers were an important reason for the orchestra's popularity among Coast dance goers. Johnny Alston is a featured vocalist with a "hi-de-hi" style which will please Hill dancers who specialize in Calloway fans. His specialty, "seat singing," will be one of the highlights of the evening's entertainment Advance ticket sales for the Friol indicate an unusually large crowd or a freshman dance, according to a statement by Paul Kihm, varisty vice managing director of entertainment and enjoyment, "Kihm said last night. Closing hours tonight will be 1:30, contrary to a previously printed announcement. The dance will be semi-formal. Admission is $1.75 at the door. $1.50 advance sale, stag or date. KFKU To Carry Homecoming Rally A Homecoming dinner hour rally will be broadcast from station KFKU Wednesdays evening, Nov. 24从6 to 6:30 clock. Those who will appear on the program are Chancellor E. H. Lindley, the Gleen Club, the Ku Ka's and Jay Janes, Gwinn Henry, the University band Capt. William I. Brady, Guy V. Keeler, and R. E. Elbel. The Homecoming parade, consisting of more than thirty floats from nearly all of the organized houses, will begin at 7:30 o'clock. The parade will be led by a float entered by the Jay James. Following the parade and rally, the University observatory will conduct another Sky Night.

Large Shipments to Hongkong HOSPITAL SCHEDULE Manila, Nov. 19 (Friday), (UP)—British armies shipments to the area are reaching Kongkong in such volume that warehouses are jammed, according to reliable private messages from the British crown colony today The student hospital will be open from 10 until 12 a.m., for emergency cases only duping the Thanksgiving holidays. Dr. Canuteon announced yesterday. The new hours will go into effect Thursday and continue through Sunday. captain, but his injured knee received in the Nebraska bat, probably will keep him out of the game. One Regular in Backfield Coach Ad Lindsey was undecided as to his starter at the left end position when the squad left Lawrence but indicated that it might be Bill Arnold, sophomore from Garden City, who turned in a good performance in the last 10 minutes of the K-State game. Dave Shirk may possibly start but it is expected that Lindsey will not use him unless absolutely necessary because of the ElDorado star's injured leg. The announced starting backfield for Saturday includes only one regular, Masoneer at quarterback, but his three mates, Meier, Richardson and Cannady, have been showing up well in practice and may give the Wildcats plenty of trouble. Kenny Caldwell and Don Ebring are two reserves who are expected to see a *a*t action. The loss of Douglass puts a heavy load on the speedy Cannady, who will have to play most of the game. Harlan Lanter, sophomore fullback, is the only replacement in case anything happens to Cannady. Smilanich a Triple Threat The rest of the line will be the same as in former games with Boslevac, Stapleton, Warren, Anderson, Ward, and Sibilanck getting the call. Reserve linemen will probably see action, however, as Lindsey realizes what he needs more than anything else as the Missouri game approaches. If Kansas is to defeat the Wildcats whom they tied 0-0 here last year, they will have to stop "Bronce." Simulant triumphs in third; 298-pound smashing fullback. Simulant does much of Arizona's ball carrying in addition to his passing and punting activities. Arizona has a veteran line headed by a powerhouse at center, Tom Greenfield, and Gray, 170-pound The Wildcats have dropped only two games this year and one of these losses was an 18-13 defeat by Cincinnati of the strong teams of the South. The Kansas team should arrive in Tucson at 7:00 tonight with a good night's rest in store for them before the game. The train was about an hour late getting into Lawrence yesterday morning, however, and may pull into Tucson later than expected.
