Lewis To Lecture Tuesday
Author and Nobel Prize Winner Will Speak on "The Novelist as Prophet" at 8:20 p.m.
Author and winner of the Nobel prize for literature, Sinclair Lewis speaking on "The Novelist as Prophet," will open the Community Lecture Course in Hoch auditorium Tuesday night at 8:20.
Lewis rose to fame upon the publication in 1920 of "Main Street," which was his seventh book. With causal comments on small-town life in America—its complacency, ugliness and standardization of ideas—he established a form of satirizing the manner of living followed by the majority of his readers
in the works that came from his pen in rapid succession after "Main Street," he attacks every feature of "The Great Gatsby," the charlatan, the social work, hotels. The best known of these books are "Babbit," "Arrowwash," "Elmer Gantry," "Dodsworth," "Ann Murray," "Dorsetshaw," and "Art." It can Happen Here."
Edited College Magazine
Born in Suket Center, Mim., a prairie village of 2,000 inhabitants, Lewis derived much of the material for his novels from the town in which he spent his youth. While attending Yale, his literary ability became evident when he wrote for the college magazine and became one of its editors. He varied the academic and cultural life of his class as board a cattle boat to Europe and a brief period away from Yale, helping in an attempt to found a modern Utopia in New Jersey.
For ten years after receiving his A.B. degree in 1907, Lewis lived in every part of the country, writing for and editing newspapers and magazines in Connecticut, New York, Iowa, California, and Florida. He reported to the New Haven Journal and Courier, the San Francisco Bulletin, and the Associated Press. Later, he was successively assistant editor or editor of Transatlantic Magazine and Frederick A. Stokes company, Adventure, and George H. Doran company.
Refused Pulitzer Award
Returned to the Law Lewis refused to accept the Pulitzer prize awarded to "Arrowsmith" as the best American novel of the year. But in 1930, the morning papers carried the news that, for the first time, the Nobel prize had been reserved by the Swearne Academy for an American author.
General admission to the lecture will be 25 cents, plus tax; reserved seats are 50 cents, plus tax. Students will be admitted on presentation of their activity tickets and identification cards.
Since his marriage to Dorothy Thompson in 1298, Lewis has lived much of the time on a farm in the hills of Vermont. For the past ten years, Lewis has been absent from school and first visited the University in 1298.

The D. U. boys got themselves into a short bind in planning for their party Friday night. About ten days ago they got their heads together and found that they all had dates. Things worked out pretty well, however, as the lads just imported a few stems from other lodges on the Hill. Rumour has if (your Shimster didn't) go) that the imported stems did a lot better.

Of Guess-Whats
Spaniards, Sheepherders, and guess whats, mingled and frolicled with sirens (a little thread bare), hitchhikers, and pretty pink pajamas last night at the masque-cosmet variety in the Union ballroom. A medium-sized crowd attended the show, but only a few, as both sexes tried to sight a familiar earnark upon which to establish identities.
Music was furnished by Louie Kuhn and his orchestra of tramps. Fire crackers and pumpkins provided atmosphere for the motley crowd. At 10:30 noisemakers (as if they were needed) and serpentine and confetti were thrown to the crowd by the orchestra.
Pachacamacs Lay Platform
raetty Freshman Council Announces Five - Point Resolution

The platform:
1. Through non-partisan co-operation, to back Dean Werner's student advisory plan.

The Pacchiacean platform, according to party leaders, is a consumption of ideas expressed by freshmen in the freshman council. Members of the freshman council were asked to gather such suggestions as they might encounter in their associations with other freshmen who have formed the basis for the platform.
Charles Osborne, c'41, president of the Pachacamac freshman council presided at the council meeting.
The platform was announced in a statement by Harold Wilson, c'41 campaign manager for the Pachacamac freshman group.

Politicians To Hold 'Good Will' Meetings
P. S.G.L. Invites Fresh For Tomorrow; Smoker To Be Held Wednesday By Pachacamac
To climax activities in the freshman election campaign, both parties last night announced "good will" meetings to be held previous to Thursday, when fresh voters go to the polls.
Pachacaca extended an invitation to all freshmen to attend a smoker Wednesday night, at which the party candidates will be introduced. P.S.L.G. is sponsoring a similar meeting Monday night at which its slate of freshman candidates will be presented to prospective yearling voters. Both motions are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. at the Memorial Union building.
At the Wednesday night meeting, Pacchacoma will introduce Rae Riggs, c41; presidential candidate and Harold Hardy, h41; Larry Winn c41 and Bill Douce, c41; candidates for treasure and two dance manager positions respectively. No upperclassman will address the meeting, it was said. Cider and doughnuts will be served.
Attempt To Bring in Voters
Don Voorhees, c38, president of M.S.C., will speak at the P.S.G.L gathering. In addition, the following candidates will be presented: Brock Brocken, e41, for president Ernest Klema, e41, for treasurer; and Benjamin Bajp, e41 and siRenko, e41, for dance manager positions.
The announcement of these meetings, as the campaign narrows down to a three-day period, indicates that Hill parties will attempt to bring voters in to meet their candidates rather than risk missing some of the large rooming houses in a hurry house-to-house canvases.
Campaign Time Short
This strategy apparently is the result of an unusually short campaign. Although both Pachaacamac and P.S.G.L postponed the opening of campaign activities until less than two weeks before election day, the race was a spirited battle with most of the usual vice-getting devices finding use.
However, veteran student politicians see several outstanding features of the campaign which distinguish it from previous elections. In the first place, handbills, which in past campaigns have played an important part in party propaganda, have been conspicuous by their absence. Political observers point out that party placards are not commonly similar, even to the duplication of one plank. Both P.S.G.L. and Pacachanea endorsed Dean Werner's Student Advisory plan.
The Oreada and Orophilians were constantly fighting back and forth and Editor Noyes directed a severe blast against the hated Orophilians in one of his issues. Noyes noised "What are you doing to the aforesaid persons (Orophilians) were on the rampage. To speak emphatically, they had a must-tear-
Issued Editorial Blasts
The Oread Gazette was the official publication of the Oread Society and was written entirely in long hand. The editors in 1872 were E.B. Noyes and Lolie Bell and their most appropriate motto was "Si se realizes al tiempo realized the value of advertising even at that early date, however, as they had a paragraph on its importance. The ad read, "Of the value of this paper as an advertising medium it is hardly necessary for us to call special attention to our advertisements of second-hand books."
Appear In Recital Tomorrow
Students of the University of Kansas in 1872 didn't go around shouting "rally" at every opportunity when the football team came through with a victory or two. Their big reason probably was that there was no football team in 1872. But even so, they had more important matters upon which to use their enthusiasm. Battles between the Creatures and the Giants meant that most of the students' time then, and they probably took their literary societies just as seriously as the modern studies do their football.
There were about one hundred empty seats in the balcony at the Monday night performance, but every seat was filled for the other three presentations. Tonn said. In addition to this, chairs were placed in the main floor aisles to accommodate more people and many sat on them during the balcony acts, stood throughout the self-scaffold performances.

Rally' Has Supplanted Battle Cry of Literary Groups
"Beggar on Horseback" was the most successful play ever produced at KU, if ticket sale records are a reliable index. Ticket Manager Gerald Aitken said that a total of 2749 activity tickets were exchanged for reserved seats and 245 season tickets have been sold to Lawrence citizens and faculty members. This is nearly twice the number of season tickets sold last year as attendance is the highest in the history of the dramatis department.

Rallies Ruffle
Readers' Repose After
Railroad Rampage
the cheering and enthusiasm of about 150 students did not stop when the train with the University of Kansas arrived for Michigan for Michigan Friday morning at 8:41.
A parade of cars formed on the campus and the hocking of horns and cheering of the students made it almost impossible for the professors to attend the students in the classrooms, and as a result, most classes were dismissed
The parade halted in front of the Administration building and students, abandoning their cars any moment before the parade. Central Ad. where all cheered and some formed a dance, which wound up and down the halls of the building. At first the K.U. wellers were dressed as school children today" soon replaced them.
The students then returned to their cars where they received instruction from a volunteer leader to block traffic in front of the library—and, so the sacred portals of Watson Library were invaded for the first time. One of the officials in the library tried to stop the students, but with yells of anger and shouts of abuse they easily up the steps to the second floor where another "rally" was held. Such rallies continued throughout the morning.
"More pep and cultuism than I've ever seen," was the remark of nine students, who were on board to hill watchers and witnessed the morning's activities.

Jayhawkers Lose In Fourth Period
Last Quarter Drive Nets Spartans Two Touchdowns and Safety After Teams Battle Everly for Three Scoreless Periods; Aerial Attack Is Deciding Factor
After holding the Michigan State Spartans for three quarters, the Kansas Jayhawks lost for the fourth successive time to the superior reserve strength of the Spartans and the chess-like tactics of Coach Charles Bachman. A staunch Kansas line forced an aerial attack from Michigan State which, coupled with a driving wind, finally netted them two touchdowns and a safety.
