5 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV France May Break With Britain Will Denounce United Front If Italy Is Not Forced T o Relinquish Hold on Sea London, Oct. 25.—(UP) —France threatened tonight to break away from her united front with Great Britain at tomorrow's meeting of the non-intervention sub-committee unless Premier Mussolini is forced to abandon his Fascist hold on Spanish Morocco and the Balearic islands. France, angered by three new "pirate" attacks on her merchant shipping close to the Baleairies, was ready to insist upon not only a swift agreement for withdrawing all for-ignition "volunteers" from Spain, but the curbing of Italian activity in Morocco and the islands. Unless this settlement can be assured quickly, the French government is reported ready to denounce the United States and reain "full liberty of action." Unidentified Seaplane Attacks French Air Bass Perrigan, Franco-Spanish Frontier, Oct. 25. —(UP)—The French government, angered by three "pirate" attacks on her shipping within 24 hours, dispatched warships to Nicaragua, then moved there where this morning an unidentified seafloor machine-gunned the French air-mail base. The government announced in a communique that a warship was rushing to Minorca, tiny Loyalist island off the coast east of Spain, to seek the identity of the raider and "take necessary steps." Neutral militia members on the front feared that the plane, if identified might prove to be an Italian from neighboring Majora, Spanish insurgent base. on the SHIN by Don Hays Imagine the Della Chi's horrison when they received word that their "good-boy," Jack Vaughan, was detained at the iron-barred mansion in Kansas City and not be returning promptly on Monday to begin school once more. It assured that they would be crushed into Job, who promptly called the cops to get things straightened out. Much to his dismay, the cop arrived, called the truck driver by his first name, was answered in like manner, and proceeded to steak Jack to the "ug." Bond was raised, and Jackie is now in the city on bond awaiting a hearing. He goes to show—don't let a city truck burden you because you can't beat a machine. Frances Kabler had to cope with a kickish situation at the ACA brawl the other night due to unavoidable circumstances. She wore a pirate costume which left her knees showing. Smoky, her date, kept wondering why she always giggled every time he danced with her all evening and didn't find out until the evening. Frances explained how the hairy "chap" of his cowboy costume tickled her knees while dancing. Our vote for real school spirit goes to the Cottage. Both the Iowa State and the Oklahoma pennants on the field are wreaths in commentation. However, we wonder what they'll do with the rest of the pennants of the Big Six. If—just if, mind you—Kan-Am wreaths their Big Six season undefeated. Society note—Virginia Wallace, fw, of Kansas City, made her weekly visit to the University the past week and attended the spring last Sunday, so she will spend next sunday dinner with the Delta Chi & Jimmy Nally. Darned nice of her to alternate with the two break (or a rest) every other week. One might think that Bob Allen, Delta Tau hopeful, could at least wash his face before coming to Sunday.

Women Students All women students planning to make the trip to East Lansing, Mish, Saturday, must sign up in the office of the adviser to women. 220 Administration building, and have their parents file a written permit with the adviser to women. ELIZABETH MEGUIAR, Adviser to Women Advisers Recommend Changes N e w Freshman System To Be Continued in Fall With Fewer Enrollment Week Conflicts Criticisms of the new freshman advisory system were offered at a meeting of the 65 freshman advisers recently, in the central Administration auditorium, along with suggestions regarding the adaptation of the plan in the fall of 1938. Henry M. Werner, men's student adviser, said that there is bound to be a proposal for a Freshman Week which will not conflict with the activities of enrollment or registration. "It will mean a pre-enrollment or post-enrollment program," he stated, "although we don't know yet which would be the most advantageous." TO form Directing Committee Dean Werner also said that of the list of suggestions offered in the advisory committee, one was the proposal to form a committee for the direction of next year's advisory activity. "To suggest the magnitude of the task of forming efficient machinery to operate the advisory system, consider this; we must secure the cooperation of Geo. O. Foster, reagent chemists; the schools of; the men's pan-ballistic and women's pan-hellenic councils of the University health service; and of Dean Nelson, as chairman of the Freshman Week committee. All the activities which interfered this year with our training will instead of piling up on one another they will progress in an orderly sequence." To Form Directing Committee "I shall choose five of those whom I consider most interested and who have been most efficient in the advisory work this year to work or the list of suggestions, and build next year's program," he stated. "I will have no more than five members, because it must be flexible." Among the list of suggestions are the following: Mid-senior grade information could be obtained from the College F Liberal Arts and Sciences office as soon as possible, instead of waiting or the unsatisfactory list which is to Dean Werner's office. Desire More Meetings More meetings should be held with freshmen to check on scholarship study conditions, and difficulties o' all kinds. There should be no more that seven to ten boys in one group. Large groups are too difficult to handle. Meetings should be held at places easily found by freshmen. In the past, many were unable to find the meeting places. Freshman advisory meetings should not be held when they will conflict with men's rush week, physical examinations, psychological examinations, and Freshman Week lectures. It was also thought by the advisers that fraternity pledges, although aided by pledge training within the fraternity group, would find it helpful to attend the freshman advisory groups. One noticeable handicap this year, it was said, was the lack of knowledge displayed in discussions about the Campus and general information found in the K-book. "It is from this list of suggestions and comments that the committee of five, which I will announce shortly, will form the schedule for next year's advisory system," said Dean Werner. "Another meeting of freshmen and new students with their advisers, to be held soon, will be announced from my office," he concluded. An extra card on the registration card would be helpful in getting names and schools of freshmen and new students. Freshmen be more efficiently aided if they arrived in Lawrence from four days to a week early. Advisory meetings should not occur until freshmen are called during registration, enrollment, and Freshman Week. Next year, the advisory board intends to take more care in assigning groups to advisers with similar interests. Groups of men interested in engineering will thus have an advisor in the Engineering School, and likewise in other schools the same plan will be followed. Pledges Should Attend Henry To Speak At Pep Rally Tooting hosts, school cheers, and Gwin Henry, making his first pep talk to the students of the University will characterize the pep demonstration to be held at 10:20 o'clock Thursday morning. It was announced by Bill Bailey, Ku Ku president last night. The rally will be held in front of Robinson gymnastium. The cheerleaders will lead the cheer from the back, and the team has been secured for the occasion. In their meeting last night, the Ku Ku's made plants to attend the Nebrasa game Nov. 6 in a body, and the Ku Ku's made a card display for the agile tilt. Blering horns, shattering cries from some fifteen hundred students' lungs, and strains of the Alma Master from an impromptu band greeted the members of the Jayhawk footworkers in a special train at the Santa Fe station early Sunday morning. Although many of the celebrators had spent the entire night cruising around Lawrence and loudly proclaiming the Kansas victory, they were still shouting in the train pulled in from Oklahoma. Hilarious Rally Greets Winning Team at Train As each man stepped to the train, he was hoisted to the shoulders of the students and carried to a waiting car. Especially did the student, who stood beside Biling, the two who figured in the winning pass, appeared. Rallying continued at the Eldridge hotel, where the team ate breakfast, until Ad Lindsay and Mike Gesto had delivered request letters to the hotel. The haunted celebrators adjourn to get a little much-needed sleep.

Hughes, famed radio priest, tonight remlinquished control of the weekly newspaper, "Social Justice."

Chinese Stop Japan's Push British Anger Mounts Against Japan Following Shooting Shanghai, Oct. 26 (Tuesday)—(UP) Desperate Chinese armies, encouraged by increasing prospects of foreign pressure against Japan, woke Tweedon Mastas' long-prepared "bush puff" dead in its trains today again. More than 60 hours after the great apanese offensive in the Shanghai rea had started, the Chinese still were all holding their principal key actions at dawn today, and in some cases were beating the Japanese sack. Meantime British anger at Japan reached new heights following Sunday's shooting to death of a British soldier by a Japanese naval aviator. The British military command let it be known that their men had been armed with automatic rifles and told to shoot without hesitation in event of new raids on their positions by machine-gunning Nipponese flers. The Japanese strove in vain to alay British wrath as they feared that the latest of their attacks of foreigners would react potently against them at the pending international conference in Brussels in which sheirly suggested that China be designed to guarantee China's territorial integrity, will attempt to find a formula to end the Chinese-Japanese conflict.

Council Swears Seven Members K' Club Not Allowed To Paddle; Committee To Study Union Work-Conditions With a new lease on eligibility the Men's Student Council last night swore in seven new members and deliberted, board reports, and discussed for what is probably one of the most sessions in the history of the body. The men sworn in were: C. H. Mullin, treasurer; Frank Bynum, medical representative; Wilbur Leonard, College representative; Bryce Bellard, pharmacy representative; George Gaines, business representative; George Gaines, business representative; and Eljah Cole, freshman representative. The business of the Council was chiefly of a miscellaneous and relatively unimportant nature. Paul Kilim, dance manager, made a report of the business of the Council ($20) was voted to the students correspondence bureau on a reconsideration of a motion tabled at the lost meeting. Perhaps reflecting the general student athletic enthusiasm, the august solens voted a unanimous thanks and commendation to two illustrious members—Don Eling and Emil Weinecke. Weinecke was game captain for the memorable Kansas football game in Oklahoma last week, and Eling hurled the spectacular pass to Dick Amerine, who scored the winning touchdown. Some discussion was held on the various methods of promoting and preserving student spirit and the comparative methods of different plans. No definite action was taken. A motion was defeated to allow a free speech freedom in the campus unless the individual violently objected. A committee was delegated to study the problem of disposal of the money voted from the activity reserve fund for improvement of intramural and free-play facilities, and to report to the Council on the most advisable ways of spending those funds. The contracts for the business manager and editor of the Sour Owl were read and a committee was appointed to act on this question. The labor committee of the Council was authorized to study student working conditions in the Memorial Building and to the Council at the next meeting. Play Opens To Large Crowd "The largest opening-night audience we have had in some time," commented Prof. Allen Crafton last night as he stood in the wings and gazed out at the crowd. "The production of the Kansas Players" "Beggar on Horseback." The play, which is a farce-comedy written by Kaufman and Connellly, expresses a new type of comedy known as "expressionism." The revolving stage, built and used for the first time for this play, was demonstrated to the audience in one scene when the lights were only partially dimmed so that they could see the stage in operation. The play will be given nightly until Thursday. The cast includes: Prof. Robert Calderwood, Prof. and Mrs. Allen Crafton, Rolla Nuckles, who carried the logs; and Roberta Cook, Rosamond Baere, El- Waite, Ruth Baere, Jean Perry, Marjorie Crane and Jane Coats, as a supporting cast. C.I.O. and A.F. of L. Peace Heads Meet in Washington Washington, Oct. 25. —(UP)— Peace delegates represent two great armies of organized workers met around a council table here today, quickly cleared away preliminary obstacles and placed to "tar" the unauthorized. They have split the American labor movement for almost two years. In two relatively brief "organization" sessions, delegations representing the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization removed the main object of the exercise by agreeing to begin the actual attempt to settle their differences at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
