Greek Architecture, a course in the University Latin department, is presented to students by means of slides. The pictures not only make it possible to view the pieces of art about which the students read, but also materially increase interest in the course.
Although this course belongs to visual education, it is only possible by existence of general photography. It is just one idea of what photography is doing to clarify and arouse interest in various fields.
Lectures in photography including all technical phases of that field, being offered once every two weeks, have begun spontaneously following a general demand by interested students. These popular sessions (standing room only) have resulted in the desire for co-operative equipment with which each member may experiment.
Such intense interest cannot be ignored. If this much enthusiasm is expressed without the reward of credits, regular courses offered in general photography would probably fill beyond capacity any room assigned to such classes.

Republican address, 1933:
"Millions of persons who voted Democratic in 1932 are turning against the administration because of its change in policies since the election."
Republican address, 1935:
"Millions of persons who voted Democratic in 1834 are turning against the administration because of its change in policies since the election."
Republican address, 1937:
"Millions of persons who voted Democratic in 1936 are turning against the administration because of its change in policies since the election."
At Least Out in the Open
While Americans shuddered last week at news of more military atrocities in China, a malicious fate was concocting events to be perpetrated on home soil which would bring the awfulness of death closer to home. Thirty-three men died Saturday in an A laabama mine explosion, and nineteen lives went out in an airplane crash in the mountains of Utah.
But the Oriental situation and related events, although lacking any significant developments in recent days, continues to be frontpage news. Perhaps the most important item concerns something which may not be fully realized for many years, namely, the definite abandonment of the isolationist tradition in America. It came first in the President's Chicago speech, which indicated he means to give more than mere moral support to international peace efforts, and is confirmed now with announcement of the American personnel to sit in the Nine-Power Treaty conference called in Brussels for October 30.
If recent events do prove to be the beginning of a trend toward internationalism in American state policy, the month of October, 1937, someday will occupy a prominent place in history.
A gesture of an international attitude, it is true, was noted when America participated in negotiating and signing the Nine-Power treaty 15 years ago, but any progress along that line was counteracted by the indubitable isolationism of the recent neutrality legislation. Since Jefferson described "a nest at-home nation in affairs of state. Are we to witness now a fundamental change in policy? As Shakespeare would have said, "it is a consummation devoutly to be wished."

Like Us
The great interest occasioned by the recent journalism conference, exemplified by the record-breaking attendance, again raises the question, "Why could not this same thing be done in other departments and schools of the University?"
High school students who have expressed a desire to enter some special field make personal contact with students and professors who are actively working that field. These acquaintances do more than volumes of literature.
For 19 years the journalism conference has proven successful. Arousing greater interest in the field of journalism by such a conference gives the young people of the state a chance to see the opportunities and workings of that field at their state University. The same has been true of the band festivals, then why not in other fields?
Destruction And Creative Art
Spanish art is not dead.
Salvador Dali, Spanish artist, took four prize in the thirty-fifth annual international exhibition of paintings at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh with his "Soft Construction of Boiled Beans," subtitled "Premonition of Civil War."
It is of the modern school, as the title implies, and the artist, as a great artist should, feels deeply the soul of his country and his times. But here are not the shy senoritas, here no gaily decked toreadors, or azure skies, for Dali feels the soul of his country—he paints of the horror of war.
A handful of disproportionately large boiled beans occupies the near foreground of his picture, and that is the end of the boiled beans. The rest is "premition of civil war." The main figure in the picture is a masterpiece of grotesque execution. It represents a withered hand and forearm grasping one end of a mass of flesh, while a decomposed foot and calf support the other end. Atop this horizontal image is mounted a grinning death head, staring crazily into the sky, as if passionately searching that sky for some "ideal." It is the bad dream picture of war. It is the real picture of war.
Spanish art is not dead, but it speaks of death. It reflects the soul of the country.

KFKU Studio Is Hectic Place When Student Radio Stars Gather
Every Monday afternoon in the studios of KFKU, bedlam breaks loose with the arrival of 20 or 25 student radio stars. For at 6 o'clock on Monday evenings, the radio speech class of Rolla Nuckles prepares written by Mr. Nuckles or one of his students, and enacted by members of his class.
Studio Turns Bedlam
From one corner of the studio one hears "Chop-sticks" as played by two or more of the talented musicians in the group. Tordir love scenes are being reheared in another corner, and through the control-room window the director Fran Greenbaum guides the actor his labor as he heads for naught. The famous writing team of Myers and Bradfield expound the plot of their latest masterpiece, "Ghosts is Ghosts," a mystery drama to end all mystery dramas, as Art Wolf supplies music for the Chie Hockett and Leigh Greenstein for their mood music in Rubinstein's "Melody in F").
At about this point the studio door is slammed behind dear teacher as he enters to restore decorum. As he resumes his post by the control window the rehearsal continues, amid letteringers of Myers and Buddief.
When everything seems to be quieted down, then it's time for someone to stumble over the thunderstorm and commotion, the barber shop quartet polishes up on "Harvest Moon" as Nuckles pitches the thunder out the window. Along with the thunderstorms that Ghosts in Ghosts is, and its authors.
Meanwhile the hours speed by and at 5:50 it is decided to get down to brake assists and start rehearsing (the program goes on at 6). So the piano is locked, the sound effect room closed, the magazines removed from the room, and the cast zips through the script in a final effort. Shortly after the performance, the white haired Nuckles offers up a sleeper prayer for success.
The program doesn't always keep the air, once it takes it. Take last Monday evening for example: A "Lights Out" mystery thriller was being given in a perfec- tion that touched lightning lent at thoroughly realistic background for the actors, who were measuring up to the occasion nobly, when presto
The Roving Reporter
By John Bondeson
Scheduled for today is the appearance of the Dove. The first number for this year is a memorial edition, in memory of Don Henry killed in Spain on the war front late this summer.
Favors Principle
Because the Dove always causes controversy, several persons were questioned as to their opinions of the sheet. The following eight re-answer questions did not generate sensitive answers to the question: "What do you think of the Dove?" Betty Wasson says: "It's a case of 'ignorance is bliss' and I'm quite happy!" I know very little about the Dove, and have no desire to know more. I'll take the Sour Owl anyhow (How about a raise, Culeman?)
And in favor of its principle comes:
"The Dove is a very necessary publication,
since it gives a medium of expression for ideas that would otherwise go unpublished on the web." This was written by Samuel Paul.
Off went the transmitter, and the play was being read into a dead mike.
Bill Farmer, politician, defends the right of expression with this statement: "I am more in favor of the principle of it than I am of its contents. I defend the principle because I feel that freedom of expression should be allowed on all sides. It is also true that the writers in the book might get the inside on stories which might not otherwise be published."
Says Bill Grant, Sour Owler:
"Maybe the Loyalists need more men!"
A Program Last
Of course the cast didn't know that, and those in the control room didn't tell them, thinking that may be the blown-out tube could be replaced before the broadcast was finished. It was fixed just in time to happen when the station announcer, and the play was lost. However, because of the flood of mail and telephone calls, that particular play will be rebound soon so that the murder-loving FBI can hear the end of the play.
Jim Bradfield's tense reply to the question was: "It's a mis-begotten bird" "Yeah," said Rhode, an amo-
noid. "I said, 'put bet he give it the bird, all right.'"
"Who was it," wrote Dick La Bane,
"who said: "I will not agree with
what he says, but I will defend with
my life his right to say it?"
The cast seems to maintain a degree of seriousness during the actual broadcasting of the program, but as soon as the closing announcement is made, all is again lost. The piano playing is resumed, often with a potential or would be Tibbett airing his tonals, the thunder machine, which was used last year, is newly stocked with the broadcast, begins its steady dim again, and Nuckles crabs into his car, and takes a bottle of aspirin.
Has Never Read It
"Ive heard of it, but I've never read it," said Dot Fritz, singer of songs. "Maybe I can form an opinion after reading it."
Doctor Held for Questioning Offers To Solve the Murder
South Bend, ind, Oct 20 —(UP)—An eccentric, middle-aged psychiatrist, Dr. Douglas W. Owan, offered from his jail cell tonight to h e l p solve an "almost perfect" crime—the murder of school-girl Melba Moore. Steadfastly he maintained his own innocence in the crime.
The Viienne-educated physician, an expert in mental ailments, a Boy Scout leader and amateur criminologist, gave back the same answer hour after hour as Sheriff Hosinski questioned him.
"I don't know what it's all about," he said.
The crime was without clue and without apparent motive. The girl was killed a week ago tonight when an automobile in which she was riding with two friends was hit at a parking lot. The girl was 16 and a high school student.

Bloch's Paintings Shown in Thaver Museum
"Unicameral Legislature," a new book by Prof. E. C. Buehler of the department of speech, has just been released by Noble and Noble, publishers, New York. The book is a debaters' handbook dealing with all of the primary phases of unicameral legislature in state governments.
Buchler's Debate Book Is Released
Shown in Trayer Museum
A recent collection of oil paintings by Prof. Albert Bloch of the department of painting, with a few of an earlier date, are now being exhibited in Spooner-Thayer museum. They will be shown there until Nov. 10.
The book was written and designed for high school debaters, since the question for state high school debate tournaments in 85 states this year is to be asked by the several states should adopt the multicultural system of legislature."
The book does not give specific arguments in either the affirmative or negative, but rather presents main ideas that explains the best points of each side.
The first section of the book is an analytical discussion of the question. The second section is a debate brief presenting the principal arguments in support of adoption of unicameral legislation. The remainder of the book is devoted to reprinted articles from current books and magazines on the subject. The book contains a lengthy list of references, a reference material in the last pages.
This is the first exhibition of oil paintings held by Mr. Bloch at the University since the spring of 1855 and whose exhibitions include water colors only.
The present collection of paintings will be shown at Malvane museum, Washburn College, after the close of the exhibition here. An invitation has also been received from the Wichita art museum for a month's showing of the exhibit there next spring.
Mr. Bloch is represented by work in the permanent collections of the Chicago Art Institute, the Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington, the Columbus Gallery of Art at Columbus, Ohio, and in many private collections in the United States and Europe.
Professor Buehler had a debate book published last year entitled "Government Ownership of Public Waste" was the author's criticism of Medicine, also a debater's handbook, published two years ago.
Loyalist Military Leaders Arrested for Conspiracy
Valencia, Spain, Oct. 20—(UP)—Two of the highest military leaders if Loyalist Spain during the first eight months of the civil war, Gen. Manuel Mineser, were arrested today for 'conspiracy against the republic.'
They will be tried by a special judge of the supreme court and are liable under military law to sentences of death before a firing squad
Former Student Visits Here
German Language Table Meets
Margaret Craver, '29, who is in charge of craft classes connected with the Wichita Art Museum, visited the department of design and the jewelry department, specializing in jewelry designs. Since her graduation she has studied metal work in Chicago and New York. While here she exhibited one of her own pieces, a lip-biting carved set with a large caledony and four moonstones.
A German Language Table supper was held last night in the dining room of the Memorial Union building at 5.30. The German language was spoken entirely throughout the meal. Approximately fifteen members of the department of German were present.

We're sorry to report that Norma "Kay" Slawn took us seriously about the Brown Derby for the loudest pump and in all due seriousness, submitted another one for today. With the understanding that she'll quit, we'll give her credit for the one today and tell all that they call her "Lin" at the Arrow mansion. You're supposed to inquire, "why?" and you'll joyfully slap you on the back and shout, "It's short for linenament because I'm so cool and soothing." Liniment is a good remedy for sore necks also.

The Last Word is never spoken at Western Electric
The urge to "make it better" is always there
WHEN you approach old problems with a fresh viewpoint, you often get outstanding improvements.
For example, wires for telephone cable had long been insulated by a spiral wrapping of paper ribbon.
Refusing to accept this as the "last word," a Western Electric engineer mixed a wood pulp solution in a milk bottle—poured it on a wire—the pulp stack. The systematic development of this idea resulted in a new and more economical insulating process—making an insulating covering of paper right on the wire!
Such originality leads to improved manufacturing processes and better telephone apparatus for the Bell System.
