Approach Kelly Reward Mark
Fifty Y Dollar Needed To Reach Fund; State Patrol Aids Local Law Officers in Search
Slightly over $50 remains to be raised to the reach of the goal of $1,000 which county and state officers have set as the amount needed to circularize the country in an effort to prevent the murderer of Rosael Kelly.
Yesterday the total amount of money in the fund, both donated and pledged, was $46.37, leaving $33.63 necessary to reach the goal.
The contribution boxes, placed in various buildings about the Campus, were taken in and opened last night and yielded $262, making a total of $15.37 donated by students toward the College. The boxes will not be replaced.
The Kansas state highway patrol officers, as well as county and local officers, are still bending every injury into a slash the student last month.
The goal of $1,000 was set as the reward in order to make a convenient total to appear on circular maps. It also helped the state and surrounding territory.
Following are the contributions received to date: The state of Kansas, $500; Lawrence McTurmann, a professor from Topicks gave $60 each; Men's Pan-Hellenic Council, $77.90; Lawrence Journal-World, $25; e employees of Standard Oil in Topeka where Kelly's father works, $25; e members of the community equally donations, $9.50; and from the donation boxes, $15.57.
Letters from the Chancellor to faculty members resulted in several making pledges and a few making cash donations. The letters explained the plan for forming a memorial scholarship fund with the money donated in event that Kelly's slayer is not apprehended.

'Sky-Night' Well Attended
"Sky Night," the observatory open house, made a successful debut at the University observatory La Salle. The students' resumes, it was held under the direction of three graduate students, James Brown Edson, Helen Kuchs, and Sten Alexander. All three expressed interest in attendance and interest shown.
The feature of the evening was the planet Saturn, viewed through the observatory telescope. Many exhibits of astronomical instruments were displayed in various rooms of the observatory. Edson gave a short talk on the development of astronomy. Musical background was furnished by a recording of "Planetary Suite," played by the orchestra of the University Radio Service.
It is planned to show motion pictures in place of the lecture in future programs.
Italy Plans To Intervene
Into Spanish War in 'Big Way' If Non-Intervention Plans Fail
Rome, Oct. 27—(UP) —Premier Benito Mussolini prepared tonight on the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of his "march on Rome" which established Fascism, to plunge into the Spanish civil war on a grant of territory, and intervene in negotiations collapse, it was learned on excellent authority.
Authors in foreign quarters said Mussolini's plan called for intervention in a big way on behalf of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's Spanish insurgents, already, by Il Duce's own admission, have 40,000 blackshirt legionnaires. Russia said the number is near 100,000.
If the necessity arises, Mussolin probably could rush between 50,000 and 80,000 men to Spain.
Responsible Fascist leaders said Mussolini still sticks to a hope that it will not be necessary to send either blackshirts or regular troops to Spain to put down the "red menace," but negotiations will break down.

Stock Margin Requirements Are Reduced
Federal Reserve Board Apparently Is Aiming To Restrict Speculation Of 'Bears'
Washington, Oct. 27 - (UP) - The Federal Reserve Board tonight reduced the margin requirement for loans from $40 per cent and in a further, unprecedent move apparently aimed at restricting "bear" speculation imposed a margin of 50 per cent or short sales. The new regulations
They were announced as Wall street interests were demanding relaxation of government regulation of the securities market and a liberalization of the margin requirement. Financial leaders had criticized Roosevelt's administration on the grounds that "over-regulation" was responsible for recent market reaction.
While the Reserve Board issued the new regulations without any explanation whatever, they were evidently designed to encourage banks to raise the amounts of securities will need less cash to buy the same amount of stock.
New Laws in Security Prices
In the last six weeks the market, weakening under tremendous selling pressure, touched new lows in security prices for more than a year. Commerce department officials said there was showing a psychological effect on business creating uncertainties.
Rigid on Short Sales
At the same time, innovation of a margin requirement of 50 per cent on short sales is expected to discourage excessive speculation by "bears"—those who play the market in New York. It was also sold "slow" by making commitments in the expectation of borrowing to meet them after the decline. Until tonight's announcement the Reserve Board had no specific regulation governing short sales. The New York stock exchange, however, has lost 10 points' protection on such transactions. The Securities and Exchange commission, against which much of the recent criticism has been directed, declared it was not seeking a "cape-goat" for the market gyrations, but it was hinted in government reports that by short sales was responsible.
"Celling" at Lowest Level
The lowering of the margin on stock purchases changes a requirement which has been in effect since Feb. 1, 1936. Previously the margin requirements had ranged between 25 and 45 per cent, depending on the type of security. The present reduction brings the "ceiling" on margin requirements to the lowest level since the Reserve Board was given legal authority to regulate this field.

Hallowen will not pass unnoticed at the University this year. An announcement of a Masque Varsity Saturday night in the Union ballroom was made yesterday by Paul Kihm, dance manager.
Distrusts Blanket Terms
he asked to define the term "radical," he replied. "If it is possible to define the term radical, you should one who discontented with the capitalistic system, and advocates a complete change, while a liberal is content merely to modify." He went on to say, however, that he had a distinct distrust for such blanket terms, making the point that "anyone who is any good at all cannot be pigeonhole." In order to perpetrate the term "radical" would probably denote an extremist of any kind.
The varsity will be complete with horns, noisemakers, and all dancers wearing masks and costumes ranging from overalls to "tails." All dancers are to remain masked until intermission.
To Hold Masque Varsity Saturday
Louie Kuhin and his orchestra will
urnish the music for dancing from
12 until 12 o'clock. There will be no

The grade average required for practice teaching has been lowered, it was announced in a statement from the office of the School of Education yesterday. In his major department, the practice teacher must have an average of 1.5, and in all other work an average of 1.1.
A fourteme from Russell L. Wiley's band will let loose with the strains of the Alma Mater, and strike the chord for the famous Rock Kid, Eric Clapton, over Mr. Oread, acclaiming the distinction of the Jayhawk eleven.
In addition to the grade point system, students, in order to teach at the Oread Training School, must have the approval of their major departments, and have fulfilled the academic course requirements. These are five hours general payment, two hours public speaking, and nine hours in the fundamentals group in the School of Education.

England and France will be eventually drawn into war. Mayor La Guardia will be re-elected in New York... Being absorbed in cats keeps one from becoming a good chess player.

"America is indeed fortunate that its fascism appeared in the image of Heart, instead of a Huey Long," Doctor Bates said. He pointed out that Heart's connections with liberalism were so remote that his influence is limited by lack of that contact.
Does Not Follow Comics
He feels that the current Hearst retrenchment is attributable to an adverse public opinion created by the American Newspaper Guild activity, the American teachers, and the students at Bates' Bates. "Hearsr, Lord of San Simione." "I'm ashamed to say, I do not." Doctor Bates replied to a question as to whether he followed the comic
now "dinned with battle cries," and that the individual must choose for himself.
Does Not Follow Comics
Hears a Repellent Symbol
Doctor Hates feels that "Hearstian fascism" is perhaps the greatest single boon to American liberalism, as it actively sets itself up as a repelent symbol, stimulating truly liberal groups to greater acuteness. He said that Mr. Scales made no impulse to the control of his newspaper empire at his death. He attributed this to the fact that the organization was merely a projection of the Hears personality, and that it could not continue in the same pattern after his death.

Many Spartan Players Again Meet Kansas
Jayhawkers Have Y e t
To Score a Single Point
Against Michigan State
Grid Team
By Bill Tyler, c'29
For three years, Jayhawk football teams have been striving in vain to reach the Michigan State goal line. Shut out without a single point, let alone a victory, the Jayhawkers will invade East Lansing and bring the long point fame as well as the Snart's string of victories.
Looking back into past history, one finds that the Spartans won the series opener in 1934, 6 to 0, at Lawrence. The next year the Kansans went to East Lansing and were defeated 42 to 0. Last year State University lost to the 1838 score by one point, winning 41 to 0.
This Year's Record Good
This year Coach Charley Batchman's Michigan State team again has an ace, Travis Kelce. They have defeated Wayne University, 19 to 0; University of Michigan, 19 to 14; Missouri, 2 to 1; and Marquee, 21 to 7. The only game the Spartans lost was to the strong Manhattan College eleven, which handed them #3 to 10 defeat.
Five of the men on the Spartan squad made touchdowns against the Jayhawkers last year. They are Gaines, Pingel, Clolek, Nelson, and Diehl. If State uses the same startling lineup they put on the field against Marquette last Saturday, the Jayhawker veterans will need only to be introduced to Rockenbach, a guard, and the center, Alling.
The starting line to be used Saturday will probably be composed of Alling, center; Schroeder and Rockenbach, guards; Swartz and Speelman, tackles; and Nelson and Diebold, ends.
The quarterback position will probably be filled by Diebold although Bruckner, a sophomore, has been a great player and Coolidge will start as halfbacks, with Cielo, a boy who last year showed many Kansas fans how foot-ball should be played, also seeing Kowatch will fill the ball at fullback.
This game marks the end of the grid relationships between Kanaas and Michigan State. Spartan officials have expressed regret at losing the game, but are hoping to see the teams meet again some future season.
Marks End of Rivalry
New Directories Available Today
A limited number of copies of the student directory will be available at the registrar's office this afternoon according to Bruce Cottier, editor.

Threaten Foreign Zone
American a nd British Troops Guard Against Attacking Forces
Shanghai, Oct. 28—(UP)—Every man able to bear arms in the International Settlement was placed on emergency call today as Shanghai's banks and banks of Soo Chow creek, threatened to spill over into the foreign zone.
Five thousand American and British troops manned barricades stretching the length of the creek which forms the northeast boundary of the foreign zone. They were unarmed, "shoot to kill" any attacking force.
Settlement Threat
Threat to the settlement, where there are more than 2,000 American jockeys, was evacuated early in the war, was the most serious since hostilities broke out here on Aug. 14.
Thousands of Chinese soldiers, wishing to escape being cut off by advancing Japanese lines in Chapier across the creek from the foreign zone, were being pressed back against the American defense sector.
Settlement Threat Serious
British riflemen, using gun buns,
smashed lanes through frantic Chinese
who clustered at the settlement
border and permitted a thin line of
wounded civilians to trickle over the
border.
Close Brides and Roads
The British closed the bridges across the Soo Chow between Yuyuanch and Markham roads to all traffic as thousands of trapped Chinese, unable to escape to the west, attempted to pour into the settlement.
The British consul-general, Herbert Phillips, issued a warning to all British nationalists living in the west section of the settlement to be prepared to evacuate "on instant notice."
Fires gained a strong foothold in Chapel and were moving toward the settlement early today, fanned by a brisk south wind.

Bates Traces Present Day Propaganda
Says World Has Spent Over Half of Its Time In War or International Trade
"Since the world has spent more than half of its time either in war or international trade, propaganda plays an important part in the history of the world." said Dr. Ernest S. Bates in a lecture last night in Hoeh auditorium.
Chose Purposeful Dishonesty
Doctor Bates' lecture was the apparent result of considerable experience in dealing with social, political and religious problems of national scope. He has written various books about such questions, notable among which are "Heart: Lord of San Simon," "The Story of the Supreme Court," and "The Bible Designed To Be Read as Literature."
in dealing with the business of propaganda, Doctor Dates suggested two phases under which propaganda falls. He classified it as all kinds of publicity-honest as well as dishonest, and legitimate as well as illegitimate. The phase that he chose was that of purposeful dishonesty.
"The most intelligent nations have made the greatest use of propaganda, not only to influence the outcrop of their own nationals as well," he said.
Keep Own Ideas Straight
"Russia has taken the lead in circulating false information concerning the status quo within the country. Russia is a good example of a country that has not been under own country as well as outside," according to Dote Bates.
The speaker said that "in America since the war we have been relatively free from government propaganda, but this doesn't mean that the country has been free from it. Freedom of the press questions have provided a fontain for propaganda and the owners and publishers have not failed to take advantage of this fact."
With all of this false information surrounding us the speaker raised the question as to what we should do about it. His answer was that one should begin with himself and keep his own ideas straight, and not accuse others without questioning. "Being skeptical? Yes." Yes, said Doctor Bates.
Fifty-fifty Chance for War
In speaking of the possibility of another great war, Doctor Bates said, "There is a fifty-fifty chance that the United States will be involved in another European war within the next twenty years, and very likely the United States will hold up against to 'save the world for Democracy'"
Following the lecture an open forum was called for the purpose of questioning the speaker on his views and the reasons for his silence were answered by the speaker.
Doctor Bates was brought to the Campus through the agency of the Students Forums Board by the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. It is the plan of the board to bring outstanding speakers to the Campus throughout the year to discuss questions of current interest. The board also plans to sponsor student debates and discussions upon timely questions.
Play Not To Run An Extra Night
"Beggar on Horseback" will not be given an extra night, Prof. Allen Crafton, director, announced last night. Because of the additional cost of royalty, orchestra, costumes, etc., Professor Crafton said that it would be too expensive to try to give the show on Friday night.
Many students have inquired as to whether or not the play would be given an extra night, as one play was last year.
There were 150 empty seats at the Monday night performance, which might have been filled. For this, and the additional reason of the added expense, Professor Crafton has decided not to give the play on Friday.

The K.U. Flying Club will meet today at 7 p.m. in room 116, Marvin hall. President F. M. Selkerkorn, vice president of the club, both men and women, interested in learning to fly for $3 an hour, are invited to attend.
