Puff Pant Prom Produces Pretty Potty Princinados
"Heck, there wasn't any fellow who tried to crush the Frem," lamented a feminine-looking ROTC officer, as the last strains of the orchestra ended the annual Puff Pan for women only Friday night.
With the stag-line embellished by several "men" hands enough to merit "ohs" and "ahs", from the women present, and with "dates" turning out variously in uniforms, tuxedos, tails, and business suits, the Prom was told to be more successful than it has been for many years.
Prizes were given to Marian Dresser, buncel, and Barbara Goli c38 for the best dressed couple in the dress. Prizes were awarded prizefor the best dressed "star."
Helen Geis, c'40, and Jean Bailey, c'40, were awarded the prize for the most original costume. Miss Geis came as a football player and Miss Geis football queen. Lenora Grisselz, c'20, received honorable mention. c'20
Chaperons and judges were Miss Ruth Hoover, Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, and Mrs. E. R. Elbel. Clyde Byson's orchestra played.
Kibm Signs 'Frolic' Band
Floyd Ray. West Coast
'King of Swing.' Will
Plau for Frost Party
Floyd Ray and his Harlem Dictators have been signed for the Freshman Frolic which is to be held Friday, Nov. 19, Paul Kibm. varsity dance manager, announced yesterday.
"From all reports, Floyd Ray's band is rapidly becoming known as the West Coast's 'King of Swing'. Khim was. "Although his name is not so familiar in this part of the country as in California, where he bails from, his band has really been playing at the Palmer Park and the mid-western and eastern states." The band was invited to play in the Swing Concert held last summer at the Palmer in Los Angeles. Playing along with such bands as Benny Goodman, Ben Pollack, Hal Kemp, Laura Prima, and Jimmy Greer, the band has earned criticals to have more than carried off its share of the honors."
Featured with Ray's orchestra is Joe Alexander, the Harlem Bing Crosby. He is reputed to be one of the finest Negro ballad singers in the country. His own compositions will be rendered. Also the only known colored girls' rhythm singing trio "Ivy, Vern and Von" will be among the galaxy of entertainers. Johnny Alston, one of the stars, will present some "scat" songs.
The orchestra is composed of five brass instruments, four saxophones, and a rhythm section including piano, drums, bass, and guitar. Most of the arrangement and composition of special numbers is done by Ray himself, who is a saxophonist. He plays the clarinet and flute band is one of the few that entirely play music that has been arranged especially for it.
"Ray's company has a personnel of 18 persons," said Kihm, "and is one of the few colored orchestras that can play both sweet and hot music. We are promising a lively evening to Freshman Frolickers."
Brandendburg Announces S.D.X. Awards
"There are two advantages to this innovation of having practical newspaper men take over journalism classes for a day," commented W. A. Kansan, the editor-in-chief of Kansas, at the end of his day as "dean of the journalism department last night." It gives the students a chance to ask editors to explain and justify their practices in the field of journalism, and it gives both students an opportunity to understand the problems which confront each in his daily work."

"But what about the possible effect of the recent "red scare" here, on the pocketbooks of the regents taxpayers?" Mr. Bailey was asked.

'Innovation In Journalism Classes Has Advantages,' Says 'Dean' for a Day
"For instance," he continued, "we editors have become concerned with the need for a new journalism building at K.U. This morning, we had lunch with Chancellor Lindley to discuss the possibility of the erection of such a building as soon as possible."
Embroyé journalists squirmed in the stairs at the Sigma Delta Chi national convention in Topeka last night as George Brandenburg, chairman of the committee on chapter efficiency and professional achievement awards, spoke leading up to the announcement of the contest winners.
By the time the last chapter named—that of the winning organization—was read, young writers were fairly sitting on the edge of their chairs, ready to shout for the name.
The announcements were made at the convention banquet, where Kansas representatives were frequently called upon to explain the defeat of a football team which last week tied the Cornuskers.

The other winners, ranging from second degree of excellence down, were Iowa State, Indiana, Oregon State, Penn State, Northwestern Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Butter, Butte, Drake, Missouri
The speakers at the meeting were Henry J. Allen, editor of the Topeka State Journal, Irving Brant, editorial writer on the St. Louis Star-Times, and William Allen White, nationally famous editor of the Emporia Gazette, and an honorary member of Sigma Delta Chi.
Records made, business done, new national officers to be elected Sunday morning, were all forgotten while journalistic youngsters, journalism teachers and advisers, and practicing, newspapermen forgot dead lines, copy paper, cranky managing editors, and Monday classes and let the friendly spirit of an all-American bull session prevail.
Plans for the Hockey Banquet to be held in December will be discussed at the W.A.A. meeting in the gymnasium Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. All W.A.A. members are asked to attend.

W.A.A. Meeting Wednesday
"Mr. Bailey," the Kansas reporter said, "I happened to overhear you and a group of the other editors talking over the events of the day. From what I gathered, most of you enjoyed your new jobs pretty well. How would you like to change places with Mr. Flint permanent?"
The Kansas City publisher smiled, recalling perhaps the years he had spent as principal of Wyandotte High School. "Yes," he said. "I have envy. I know how hard it is to permanently way of making a living—well, I think I'd rather take the work of an active newspaper man. There are too many interesting siders."

Casting aside their purported tradition dignity for the spirit of collective support of the football team, the University law students, yesterday afternoon, marched not austerely but conspicuously down the Hill and into the stadium and into a building that they ducted themselves, not dignified, but pointedly in favor of the Jayhawk gridders.
Loyal Laws
Loudly Laud
Losing Luggers
The "laws" previously banded together at Green hall about 1.30 p.m. From there they were led by their professors down the Hill and into the stadium. Each of the 150 future supreme court justices was adored by them. They took part in which leaf color to their roaring demonstrations during the game.
Yesterday's concerted support of the team by the "Laws" was the first time that any such demonstration has been held.
Howard "Tony" Immel, 138, reported to the police last night that his rooms in the Moody apartments, 1343 Tennessee, had been entered yesterday afternoon while he was at the football game, and clothing to the value of $500 taken. He told the police that the man had been taken from all clobbering but had not taken any money or other valuables.
'Tony' Immels' Rooms Robbed
Neighbors told him they had seen some one leave the apartment just before the radio brought the news of the Kansas State touchdown.
Mr. Immel announced last night he would pay a liberal reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the robber.

Sun spots, those gigantic solar turbines that cause magnetic storms disrupting the world's electrical communications, are at the peak of their eleven-year cycle and make a striking spectacle. They will be exhibited to the public with the six-inch telescope.
Dr. N. Wyman Storer, director of the observatory, will speak on "The Star of Day." There will be an astronomical exhibit, including a spectroscope through which the solar spectrum may be viewed. The solar imagery program will be literature related to K.U. School of Music will featurelections with solar themes. Everyone is cordially invited to this event.
"Pledges 26, actives fight! On to the Cotton Bowl." These were the crises of enthusiastic pledges Friday evening after their 26 to 0 rout of the annual battle for possession of the coveted Schiller Shore trophy.
The victory of the pledges over the actives was the first in the history of the fend, which began five years ago. So apparent was the demoralizing effect of the defeat on the actives that the activists resisted in protest against the raucous behavior of the pledges for the rest of the evening.

The game had hardly started, when McCoy ran wide around right end for a touchdown and the first six points. Although the pledges did not score in the second quarter, it was apparent that they could run around, through, or over the active line any time they wanted to. The potent ground attack combined with a perfect air attack rolled up three
McCoy scored the second touchdown on an off-tackle play in the third quarter. Then to make his day all the more complete, he scored two more touchdowns on end sweeps in the fourth quarter. One of the touchdowns came on a 35-yard around jump, and was the result of some good blocking on the part of the pledge team.
Pledges Score Early
Finish in the Dark
The game started rather late in the afternoon, and as a result was finished in the dark. But it was rumored around the Acacia house after the game that the activities had played in the dark all afternoon.

Two Hundred Kansas 'Eds' Talk Shop
Hugh Bailie, U.P. Head,
Addresses Joint Session
Of Editors and Sigma
Delta Chi
Two hundred Kansas editors and their wives, from almost every county in the state, attended the annual Editors' Boundaries discussions, held at the University yesterday and Friday.
Hugh Bailleil, president of the United Press and national honorary president of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, was the principal speaker on the Roundtable program.
At a joint meeting of editors and Sigma Delta Chi delegates in Fraser theater yesterday morning, Chin-ung Kim, president, accrued the editors to the University.
Following Chancellor Lindley's remarks, Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism introduced Mr. Baillie.
The American press is keeping the public better informed than even before despite the fact that these are days of unusual storm and stress in national and international affairs. Mr. Baillie said.
People Better Informed
"People today, the average people, of this country are far better informed, more sophisticated, more technologically advanced, self-willed well-matured, than ever before." Bailie said. "They know their own minds better than they used to, and the percentage of the population has declined greatly."
Baillie said more and faster travel, radio, sound newsreels and other factors have contributed to this improvement, "but the greatest single factor in keeping the people informed is enlightened is news and newspapers."
Propaganda Resisted
In today's turmoil of undeclared wars, unprecedented labor "unrest and conflicts of dictatorships vs. democracies, propagandists are more visible than the propaganda drive hasn't gotten to first base in the newspapers of America," Baillie said, "because the working press, and the desk men, and the publishers, have been on the front lines and offended it all about the line."
There is a tremendous responsibility on newspapersmatter to keep their personal convictions out of the news, he noted. "Occasional traitors" may try to sneak propaganda into the news.
Traitors Discovered
"Up to now at least they have usually been found out," he said, "and furthermore they have merited the contempt of their associates. I trust the day never comes when, because of any development of the future, such traitors to journalism will have the support and sympathy of their associates, or their employ, for them. Journalism is the journal of such. That day would be an evil one for human liberty in this country."
Speaking of wars, Ballie noted that in today's scattered undeclared wars the United Press has 25 full-time war correspondents at the various fronts, while during the World War, when correspondents' activities were severely restricted, only five or six were needed.

Tichnet's Speech on Finance Ends Meeting of Business Teachers
"The Position of the United States Treasury and Its Implications" was the subject discussed by C. C Fitchner, dean of the School of Business Administration at the University of Arkansas, yesterday morning after a gathering of economists. Dean Fitchner's address ended the two-day session of the thirteenth annual meeting of teachers of economics and business in Kansas colleges and junior colleges. Several important governmental political events have affected the United States treasury were enumerated by Dean Fitchner.
Points Emphasized
Special emphasis was given the following points:
1. Expansion of the national debt has been associated with expenditures for relief and "pump-priming" to stimulate business for the past six years.
2. Regular federal expenditures will be based on a high plateau for the future and reflect a change of government relations to income and expenditures.
3. Because of the accumulation of Social Security funds, old age pension, and the like, the treasury has been made up by a hand at be end of the fiscal year.
4. The treasury has ceased to be the dominant inflationary agency of the United States government.
5. As shown by recent subscriptions of bond issues, the credit of the United States is high.
6. A sound fiscal policy would require that pumping process policy be reversed and debt be reduced by the trimming of expenditures.
7. The treasury has control over bank reserves and money markets which should be relinquished to the Federal Reserve system.
Gagliardo Traces Union
A general review of the trade union agreement was presented by Prof Domenico Gagliardo, principal speaker Friday afternoon.
Professor Gagliardi traced something of the history of the trade union in the United States, and something of the origin of the disputes between the American Federation of Labor and the CIO., and added a bit on how now being made to bring reconciliation between these two groups.
Organization Extended
"There has been tremendous growth in the membership of the trade unions," said Professor Gagliaro, "not only in an increased membership of established unions, but through the extension of organizations into steel and other basic industries.
"Both the aggressiveness of the C.I.O. in organizing and the national labor relations law have made possible this extension of membership."
.
Public opinion, according to Professor Gagliardo, has been more favorable to the A.F. of L. than that the C.I.O., largely, he said, as a reaction against C.I.O. procedure of a year ago.

Intra - Kansas Classic:
Editors Are Guests
It was all Kansas State in Memorial stadium as the fighting Wildcats topped the Kansas Coyahawks from their top perch in the Big Six by a 7-0 score. The one touchdown margin was not an indication of the difference between the two teams as they dominated the play throughout, and kept Kansas from making any serious threats.
The Kansas State touchdown came with less than a minute to play in the first half, with Cleveland scoring standing up after a Cleveland-to-Atlanta game. The Jayhawkers' five-yard line. Cleveland's great kicking kept the Kansas team back on its heels the rest of the game. The Kansas line, which屯鳆ched kansas's great forward wall was out played through Wilkens, who hold the Jayhawkers to 50 yards from scrimmage.
The game, which saw Kansas State reach its peak just a week after the great Kansas State against Nebrer, so it was played before some 19,000 guests' Day fans who braved a high wind to view the intra-Kansas classic. Kansas Editors were guests at the game. The Jayhawkers

Use of cards by the cheering section, an innovation so far as the University of Kansas is concerned, produced a favorful impression upon the crowd attending the game, as did new evolutions by the University band. The band; new maneuvers had been presented at Nebraska last year, and seen previously by a home crowd.
State Starts With Rush
Kansas State started its offensive activities shortly after taking Dougless' opening kick. Brugs and the Wildcats beat the Navasota for good gains, and the Wildcats were on. The Jay-Hawks tightened up however, when K-State generated too far into the verticie, and took the ball on down.
Replegue's superiority in punting durin<sup>1</sup>, the first quarter kept the State team back in its own territory. A cross wind which was blowing south and east was a handicap to Briggs, the K-State kicker.
Coach Wey Fry sent in almost a complete new backfield to start the second quarter. He sent his ace.
