Suggests Waiving Fees For 300
Maxman Proposes Plan To Let Special Students A t t e n d State Schools With Aid of NYA
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1937
Topeka. Oct. 13.—(UP)—Governor Huxman, in letter to Charles M. Harger of Abilene, chairman of the State Board of Regents, suggested that schools be waived to enable an estimated three hundred students to attend with the help of the National Youth Administration. The plan, the Governor said, was proposed by State Director Ann Laughlin of the state board. The students would be special students given vocational training.
The plan would affect only students who are not able to pay student fees and who could use NYA funds for living expenses. Many other states are using the plan, Huxman reported the state director as saying. No additional instructors would be necessary.
The Governor said it would give unemployed and untrained young people a chance to obtain training, and that he believed it "worth undertaking if it can be done under law." He asked Attorney-General Clarence Beck for an opinion on its legality.
Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, said last night that when the National Youth Administration, including the CSEP, was set up the government needed that the fees be included employed under the plan were to be remitted.
At that time the state attorney-general ruled that it was impossible to remit fees from a state educational institution to any student. Several states have refused to do the federal government changed its regulation in view of these rulings.
Nichols also called attention to the fact that several of the state schools have been conducting freshman college in several towns over the state the past two years, for the benefit of high school graduates who were unable to attend colleges. These classes offered the *regular education* course for classes under a resident instructor, who was paid by the WPA.
The freshman colleges were discontinued this year for the apparent lack of demand. Fully three-fourths of those enrolled last year asked for transcripts and are presumably in regular colleges this year.

We are wondering about the truth of the story that last night the police station received an anonymous telephone call saying that there was a man in the Gamma Phi house and to please come and get him. When the question invoked who was speaking the voice replied, "The man."
Two nights ago the Chi Omega fire alarm went off at 13:00 a.m. Fire drill was not very successful owing to the fact that more girls were trying to get in the house than were trying to get out!
It's an ill wind that blows no good. Since so many University professors have joined the Teachers' Union, which is affiliated with the A.F. of L, some are now stoping classes when the whistle blows.
Due to the success of their last few hour dances the Alpha Delta Pi's are considering doing some additional landscaping about the house
And there's the one about the girl who brought her professor a piece of cake to prove that yesterday was not the day when she will not meet classes tomorrow.

This happened in the Blue Mill. Peggy Angle neglected to cough up her sales tax (purposefully) and Charlie shouted out as she left the Mill, "Haven't you any little Huxman," Peggy Anne."

The plans for the sports-day will not be carried out in case of bad weather.
Capitulate To Mussolini Britain and France Ask Premier To Give Wa Back to Spain
London, Oct. 13—(UP)—Great Britain and France, fearful of embarking upon reprisals that might lead to war, late today capitulated to Premier Benito Mussolini and turned the Spanish "volunteers" problem over to the London non-intervention committee.
They said, however, that if nothing satisfactory can be worked out before the war, they should France and Britain will be prepared to take independent action.
a half hour session, ordered Lord Plymouth, chairman of the nearly-collapsed non-intervention committee of 27 nations, to call an emerger
Discuss Military Consequences The French government simultaneously discussed "military consequences" of Mussolini's attitude in a ministerial conference and agreed to delay any out right reprisals until Mussolini is given the last chance to collaborate.
An official spokesman for Britain and France said:
"If the negotiations (in the non-intervention committee) do not produce satisfactory results within a reasonable time, it will become necessary to recognize that such results will be a fortnight. The present state of affairs cannot be expected to continue."
Fortnight Is Deadline
Sources close to the British cabinet said it was decided that if Musolini refuses to co-operate in giving the Spanish war "back to the Spaniards" by withdrawing his thousands of blackshirts from the island and the Balearic islands, swift Anglo-French stabilization will follow.
The non-intervention body, term by dissension since its organization, was expected to meet Saturday, and the interim leader of the crisis that is driving Europe to war's cross-roads was expected to be fixed for two weeks hence.
Atlantic City, Oct. 13.—(UP)—Leaders of the Committee for Industrial Organization, in a tumultuous session late today, crashed "lef-wing" objections and went on record in favor of a policy supporting the sanctity of collective bargaining contracts and pledging co-operation in safeguarding the operation of the agreements.

Students Start Contributions
Students wishing to help in the apprehension of the person who fatally injured Russell Kelly, began leaving their contributions in the boxes provided for that purpose in Campus buildings, yesterday. Some boxes have been made to the bursar's office within the past three days.
Because of the construction of the boxes, they will not be opened daily, so no exact count of the contribution may be made. A count will be made Saturday.
Kelly died Friday, Oct. 1, from injuries received a week previous at the hands of an unknown man. They were involved in a minor traffic accident.
The members of the old editorial board who are still in school here, along with other students and faculty members interested, form the committee who will attempt to get the Dove out Monday or shortly thereafter.
Dove To Fly Next Week
The conditions and principles per-tine $\textcircled{v}$ to Don Henry's trip to Spain and the character of the man as his friends knew him, will be the theme of this week. A new report by a member of the Dice's editorial board last night.
Liberal Paper Devoted To Don Henry and 'Red Scare'
Interesting articles are promised pertaining to the current "red" fur, and a test will perhaps be given the truth, if any, of the current reports concerning the Communist party and its supposed bearing upon what happened here, if anything has happened to justify an investigation.
Contributions may be sent to Mary K. Robb, representing the editorial board, at 1652 Mississippi street.
The deadline, according to the report, is tomorrow for anyone wishing to contribute to this issue of the Dove
'Red' Scare In Sour Owl
The recent "red scare" on the Hill will be the subject of one of the feature articles in the second issue of the current year's Sour Owl, Campus humor publication, which makes it appearance tomorrow, according to a report from the Sour Owl office last night.
"Campus radicals, as well as those really frightened by news stories in some papers recently, should be interested in the Sour Owl article," said a spokesman for the Owl last night. "It contains comments that should do much to clear up state-sponsored hate and marks the Sour Owl's first departure from its usual policy of publishing only light humor.
Other articles in the new Sour Owl
are contributed by Dave Hamlin, last
year's editor, Mary Lewis, Gene
Lloyd, Bill Fey, John Oakson, and
Ray Buckley. Also included will be
public pages about Campus celebrities.
These nominations mean that both men are elected, according to the statement made by Dean Crawford. Both graduates are now consulting engineers. Riggs was formerly a professor of civil engineering at the University of Michigan. Noyes is the choice of zone 4, which includes nine states making up all the west coast and most of the far western states.
A great deal of interest was aroused a few days ago by the Owl's announcement of a series of pictures dealing with the activities of "the love bug." Editor Coleman said, and students are awaiting with interest issues of the Owl, curious as to methods used in treating the subject.
Two University graduates, Henry Earl Riggs, 86, and E. N. Noyes, 97 were nominated for the presidency and vice-president, respectively, of the American Society of Civil Engineers at its meeting in Boston, 11 February 1928. C. C. Crawford of the School of Engineering and Architecture.

Old Custom Will Return To Campus
K-Club To Start Using
Paddles on Freshmen
In Attempt To Promote
School Spirit
With the action of the "K" Club in returning to the practice of promoting school spirit by the paddling of freshmen, the Campus will again echo with lusty swats. After a lape of two years, the custom of hazing is to be resumed tomorrow morning.
Wade Green, president of the "K" Club, announced that unless all freshmen stay on the south side of the Campus drive tomorrow, they will be eligible for the line of "K" Club. A total of 125 of Robinson gymnasium. All necessary crossings to the north side must be made through four special lanes in front of Green hall, the Chemistry building, central Administration building and Snow hall.
The history of paddling and the freshman cap tradition has been long and turbulent. The custom was started about 1883, although at that time it had no official sanction. However, it gradually grew in popularity and finally received the approval of the Men's Student Council.
Short rallies will be held between class periods all day Friday. Wade Green further urges that all students in the University participate in these activities to work up pep and enthuisma for the Iowa State game Saturday.
Until the spring of 1934 the tradition was enforced jointly by the "K" Club, the Ku Kul', and the members of the Men's Student Council. At that time the council passed a resolution vesting the responsibility entirely in the hands of the "K" Club, assisted by a traditions committee with a council member as its chairman.
No Paddling
A growing controversy over the merits of the system of hazing reached a fever pitch after the St. Benedict's game in 1935 when the "KC" club paddled one of its own players to death because he refused to carry a paddle.
By means of letters to the Kansan, students waged a bitter fight against the system. As a result, the "K" Club passed a resolution abolishing paddling; and referred the question of addition to the Men's Student Council.
The council then agreed to abolish paddling as a means of enforcing safety standards and continue to do duty as a means of enforcing attendance at pall rallies.
Bureau Issues Films Catalog
The bureau of visual instruction a part of the University extension service, has just issued a 70-page cat- file on how to use visual aids for has rent for Kansas schools as a part of their educational program. Outlines for the teacher are sent in advance of films, which are distributed in the time of the included showing.
The bureau does not sell films or equipment, but has available information of interest to schools planning to install projecting equipment. The University has an exchange program with Colorado by which, on two weeks notice, films may be obtained from the Colorado film library.

Armstrong and companions, en route to the K.U.-Wichita game, were traveling about fifty miles an hour south into Wichita on the outside of a four-lane roadway when Walser goined, north turned in front of her, and spared her headed for a filling station on the west side of the road.
Another north bound auto attempt to pass Walser was forced into the ditch although Mr. Walser decreased the speed of his car. A crash was unavoidable when the Walser struck the roadway in front of Armstrong.
No one in either of the cars was believed to have been seriously injured at the time of the accident, according to the first reports.
Word of Mr. Walser's death was received by Armstrong today in a letter from the victim's son in Wichita.
