LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1937
Rosamond "Windy" Bar and Mary "Love in Bloom" Fitzgerald, the triple-threat girls of The Repta are playing the field again this year using the ever-effective line of heckling.
Humble buttertails; Julia Heimbronk's date book looks like a diary Yes, the Gamma Phi's got Julie Roberts of the Psi Phi lodge. Roberts of the Psi Phi lodge will part with his frat pin Saturday, he hopes Well, anyway, he will win five bucks
Jody Stewart, Phi Pi, can't wait until her campus is lifted so she can get back in circulation again with Feni Durand, Phi Pai, Bob McNeil, and the rest of his house is in Wichita, will not attend the game there tomorrow. Oh yes, Mary Louise Eby gave him a date bid to the Chi O open house. Steve Houston, you know who he is, Sigma Nu, seems to think someone should visit over and over at Kappa house. Could it be a law low student, Steve?

Fred "Mouse Face" McCoy, chief magoul at the PHI Delt house, was a little too busy to answer the telephone when he was called not so long ago and told the freshman who answered the phone to tell his laundress that she could pick up his laundry that evening. It so happened that the lady on the other end of the room was talking to her and did the Kappa's start taking in laundry? (Advertisement fee to be collected.)
Betty Cole of the Theta house, bloom corporation, decided her shorts were too soiled to wear for a dancing class so went to class in a dress. She was following her teacher, who had much to her amazement she noticed a "K" man looking on with interest in his eye. She nonchalantly walked over to the window and said howdy in her own sweet way, but was her face red when she realized that she had dressed up for dance shorts? Maybe not though.

U. S. Ship Endangered
Japanese Gunboat Uses American Flagship for Screen in Shelling
Shanghai, Oct. 8—(UP)—Cruiser Augusta, flagship of the United States Aniatic fleet, was endangered today when a Japanese gunboat took up a position within 100 yards of it and beached, killing 36 sailors. Pooting across the Whangpoo river from the Anglo-American area of the international settlement.
Chinese gunners dared not fire directly at the gunbate for fear of hitting the American ship, and they accused the Japanese of seeking cover deliberately by firing from points near foreign vessels.
As it was, several Chinese shells screamed perilously near the Augusta and the crew of the American ship was called to battle stations.
Japan May Denounce Treaty
Tokyo, Oct. 8—(UP) It is highly possible that Japan will denounce the nine-power treaty which was signed at the Washington conference last year to protect its integral integrity, reliable Japanese informers told the United Press today.
"There can be no change in Japan policies," an informer said. "Japan is prepared to resist any sort of pressure that may be brought upon her. The war in China will be carried to a victorious conclusion and the corrupt Kuoimintong government in Nanking dissolved.
"When the government has to be overthrown we will demonstrate our friendship for the Chinese people by our action. We will not take Chinese people as their enemies and nouse these people in restoring order and improving their general conditions."
Italy Opposes Conference On Chinese-Japanese War
Rome, Oct. 7.—(UP) The Italian government僵住了strongly tonight that it would refuse to attend the projected nine-power conference on the Chinese-Japanese war even though it was one of the original signatories of the treaty signed in Washington in 1922.
Its only opposition to the proposal, it was stated officially, is based on the fact that the invitation for the conference came from the League of Nations, which Premier Benito Mussolini has consistently boycotted since the Italo-Ethiopian crisis two years ago.
London, Oct. 7 - (UP) "The British and French foreign offices are sounding out Secretary of State Cordial Hull to learn whether he and President Roosevelt will be willing to have the proposed conference of Japanese leaders in Washington; Japanese war take place in Washington it was disclosed tonight."
International Conference May Be Held in Washington

Amid the confusion of the awakened girls, the robber escaped. Police could find no traces of him.
Lawson Gives Reasons For 'Why College?
Freshmen Orientation
Lecture Brings For othr
Discussion of H i g h e t
Learning
Of all the college students in the world, Dean Paul B. Lawson pointed out in his freshman orientation lecture, more than half attend educational institutions in the United States. This he said, because the university nation values education as a means of preserving the safety of the future.
Dean Lawson's topic in this address was "Why College?'" Speaking to the freshman class in Fraser the teacher asked how lessons in answer to this question.
First, looking in the question from the point of view of the taxpayer, Dean Lawson reminded the students that it cost each of them only $50 a year to attend the University (exclusive of activity and hospital fees) which are used in extra-curricular activities. The state of Kansas provide approximately $250 more, annually, for each student. It thus becomes the debt of each student to the state to fit himself to be a useful citizen of the state. Continuing, Dean Lawson said, "you will not be the kind of a student when you are graduated that you are not while you are in college."
Second, Dean Lawson said, college affords an excellent opportunity for every student to practice honesty. He will be exposed to it and to dishonesty as well, and it is up to him which course he wishes to follow
Can Practice Honesty
Third. "We come to college to inform ourselves about as many interesting things in the course of human knowledge as we can," said the dean. He explained that the group was made up of students who make certain that every student attained some breadth in his education.
"A good citizen is a tolerant person, and tolerance is something that should be learned in college," said the speaker in stating his fourth reason for a student's attending college. He emphasized the point that tolerance is a mark of education. Fifth, continued Dean Lawson, college should develop the student's inquisitiveness. People should wont become accustomed to really becoming educated. "A truly educated mind will not turn its back on knowledge in any field," the dean said.
Example of 'Pure Democracy'
Example of *Pure Democracy*
The best mark of a liberally educated person is the insatiable desire to forge shear, and make him take his sixth point. Every educated person should be always attempting to better his last performance in any field.
The seventh reason for going to college, according to Dean Lawson, is to develop the spirit of friendliness. "I often think," he said, "that college is one of the best examples of pure democracy to be found." He added upon their own qualities, and not upon their wealth, their background, or any other relatively unimportant basis."
The next orientation lecture for freshmen will be held Thursday, Oct 4 when Prof. U. G. Mitchell on "What is Scholarship?"
Detroit, Oct. 7—(UP) —Father Charles E. Coughlin's charges that appointment of Hugo L. Black to the supreme court demonstrated "personal stupidity" on the part of his team, which included a public rebuke from his ecclesiastical superior, Archbishop Edward Mooney.
Archbishop Rebukes Coughlin for Charges
"... the prudent council" the Archbishop said in a statement in this week's Michigan Catholic, "we would have kept Father Coughlin from using the words 'personal stupidity' to describe a recent official action of the President of the United States."
Coughlin's criticism of Justice Black's appointment was included in a typewritten "interview" with newspapermen in which he announced that Archibishop Mooney would "be responsible for censoring his coming series of radio addresses.

Firing Squad
Salamance, Spain, Oct. 7. (UP)—Harold E. Dahl, aviator sentenced to death by a Spanish insurgent court martial, was pardoned today by Gen. Francisco Franco. He arranged to go as soon as possible to his bride who waited across the French frontier.
It was indicated that the 28-year-old flier from Champaign, III., who wept with joy at the news, would be released within a few days from the whitewashed prison cell where he has been held since his Loyalist plane was shot down behind insurgent lines July 12.
Beads of perspiration stood on out Dahl's forehead when his lawyer brought him the news and a bottle of alcohol in his his escape from the firing squad.
"Phew!" was his first comment as he flopped onto his bunk, exhausted from suspense.
France's pardon, announced six simultaneously with the death sentence recommended by six officers of the court martial, was said to have been influenced by the general death sentence and similar relations with the United States.
In Caures, his bride broke down and sobbed, "I'm so madly happy." She said she would attempt to kill the Salamanga as quickly as possible.

Ed Henry To Aid Lindley In Probe
Father of Slain Student
Says He Has Uncovered
Some Convincing Proof
In Son's Trunk
Ed. R. Henry, Dodge City, will appear on the Campus next week to assist Chancellor Lindley in the investigation of alleged communist activities among University students and faculty. The investigation received yesterday by the Chancellor.
Mr. Henry said in the letter that he felt he had uncovered some convincing proof which might aid in the investigation of activities which he believes were partially responsible for his son's enlistment in the Spanish conflict in which he met his death last month.
The letter follows:
"Your kind message received
"Your kind message received.
"You say you will assist in any investigation I desire. I would want any investigation by a fair, impartial committee is all.
"I believe I have some convincing proof but it will be impossible for me to bring it there," he said. "I am obligated to agree with you, E. R. Henry."
Find Communistic Evidence
A news story yin the Dodge City globe yesterday quotes Mr. Henry a student whose academic influence has piled up as the family has proceeded with the minute examination of the boy's effects. Membership application blanks and stubs, giving names and addresses of students, indicate young Henry has been handling applications at U.C.L.A., the American League, the American Student Union, and the Y.M.C.A., in all three of which he was active. Innumerable pieces of official communist literature have been found, some of them in large enough quantities to warrant receipt of them for distribution, according to the store in the Globe.
Henry said in the statement to the Globe that the material found in the boy's trunk ranges from Boy Scout and Sunday school mementos to Marxist literature and finally to a communist organizer's manual.
Investigation by Committee
"His family indicated," says the Globe, "his associations had led him from a normal love of peace, church and home to the communism, and thence to the war in Spain that spelled his doom."
Henry told the newspaper that he intended to leave the investigation to the committee to be appointed at the University and to stay out of it except for the assistance he can render. The examination of the slain youth's personal papers was commenced by the police and the significant portions sealed to be placed in a vault until they are needed.

Six Wichita Men Declared Ineligible
Wichita, Oct. 8 — (CP)—Hope for a Wichita victory with the invading University of Kansas football team received a set-back when it was announced that six players on the Shocker squad would be intelligible for action. The players were ruted out because of a pre-game incident, and it is to play under Big Six conference scholastic eligibility rules. Three of the six players would have been in the starting lineup.
Hopes for a Victory
Over Jawahawk Team
Fade as Three Regulars
Are Benched
Prof. W. W. Davis, chairman of the athletic board, said last night that the Big Six rules suggested that as nearly all players play only under conference rules of eligibility when playing non-conference games, but did not remember whether or not the contract for the game stated specifying which team would be played under Big Six standards. Names of the players reported to Prof. W. W. Davis for the game could not be obtained.
Tomorrow the Kansas Jayhawkers meet the Wichita Shockers on the gridiron in the Wichita University stadium in what has the aspects of one of the most interesting games of the year. Interesting because it will provide an answer to the question whether a team from a smaller state can come out on top against a larger school whose team is beginning to remake a place for itself on the football horizon.
Certainly in the history of Wichita football there has never been a game that has caught hold of the Shocker fans as has this one. For years the Wichita supporters and school officials have practically been daring the University athletic officials to schedule a game with them.
Finally the game was scheduled last spring, and since then the Wichita enthusiasm has been building up to the boiling point. Newspapers have given it the most ballyhoo, possibly, of any game the Jayhawkers have ever figured in. It is "do or die" in Shocker-Land.
In spite of "plus" in Wichita papers to the effect that the Kansas team has been given orders to wallop the Shockers so impressively that they will not be obligated to schedule them next year, the Jay-hawkers have gone ahead preparing for the game as they would for any other. It is simply that the Kansas team realizes that Wichita has a good outfit and that it is going to take a lot of playing to down them.
Up to last night the names of the players making the trip could not be obtained, nor could the starting line. However, a fair idea of the players who would be ready to go into the sound of the whistle was secured.
The game should also be interesting from the color standpoint. Kansas has two outstanding backs in umpire and Sullivan. On the Vichita team there is the "great" player, and on the brilliant player. In addition, both quads are expected to use many orward and lateral passes.
In the line for Kansas will probably be Hardacre, end; Boslevac and Ward, tacken; Anderson, guard; and Warren, center. At the other end of the way, Anderson will be in shape by tomorrow. If not, Russell Chitwood will start. The same thing is true at the other guard position. If Stapleston the leg heals in time, he will be a starter. If it is not well positioned, Siblack will be given the call.
Coach Ad Lindsey was undecided to as of which two backfield combinations to start. In one is Wiencke, Amerine, Douglas, and Divens. In the other is Repogle, Caldwell, Sulvant and Maoner.
