Justice Black To Make Reply By Radio
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 1. 1937
Supreme Court Justice Answers Charges of KKK Membership at 9:20 Tonight
Washington, D.C., Sept. 30 (UP)—Supreme court Justice Hugo L. Black will reply personally by radio tomorrow night to charges that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan that nine robed men who must dispense equal justice to Protestants, Cahiochs, Jews, and Negroes.
The former Alabama senator, who in four days will turn the black cloak that traditionally removes its wearer from political squabbles, decided to return home and summits the bench, and do it in a manner no member of the tribunal ever has attempted. On those rare past occasions when the supreme court justices have talked by radio, lawyers deliver austere formal addresses.
Black will speak for 20 minutes starting at 9 p. 30. E.S.T. Friday, it was announced by Kenneth A. Berkeley, general manager of the N.B.C., and in Washington office. Both red and blue networks of N.B.C. will carry his words, as well as the stations of the Columbia and Mutual chains—as vast a network as that compared to current on important state occasions.
Black's choice of this medium was in line with what he told newspaper reporters at Norfolk, Va., yesterday. "We're in Europe and we European vacation with Mrs. Black. He refused to comment on the Klan charges and said that he would make his reply "in a way that cannot be done" and so the public car hear him."

Hell week is here for some of the fraternity pledges and as usual there are sad stories to tell. The Sigma Tau neophytes were wheeling autos of the toy, not toying, type yesterday.-The D.U. youngsters found it necessary to don their twins held in them on the front lawn of the Chi O. house. After finding and unifying their habitat, piece by piece, they hustled into said paraphernula and were padded all the way home.-The old bathroom ticker tape signing gag is bringing the blushes and laughing signatures of years past.-We have yet to hear of any pledges chewing tobacco and being coated with the delicate tacies used as perspiration.-The Ph Delta had a posterior warming for their freshmen last night.
Jean Bailey spent a most enjoy- able morning in her classes yesterday- day reading an article on a subject of no little interest. The title, "Ant Sex Leaf," divided me as well and the lecture—well, who cares about the lecture?
Dick Newlin was all over the Campus yesterday dulled out in one of his nasty attires. Composition: A tan checked coat with a sprinkle of green, tan flannel shacks with a dash of wrinkles, green shirt tipped with a white collar and capped with many a red dog was ahunting. Under all ten shoes of much plainness, and over all, Dick Newlin.

Raises Fees
N e w Financial Policy
C a l l s for Payment of
Dues Each Year
A new membership policy for the Y.W.C.A. to go into effect immediately was announced yesterday by its president, Eleanor Slaten.
"The extra funds thus received will be used for the expansion of the Y.W.C.A." Miss Slater explained. "Outstanding speakers will be brought to the University, and some of the money will be used to send a delegate to the National Student Conference in December."

In addition, the $2 for the $2 for a four-year membership will be given the opportunity in the coming W.Y.C.A. finance campaign to pay $1 for this year's membership
The purpose of this new finance drive, Miss Slaten said, is to increase the proportion of funds contributed by students. A considerable part of the Y.W.C.A. funds now obtained from the legislative appropriation and through private and club donations.

Jayhawkers To Play Washburn and Bethanv
Swedes To Play 'B' Squad
Invaders Coached, by Schaake Should P rove Formidable Foe H ere Saturday
Old home week will be celebrated starting at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon when Coach Elmer Schaake tricts his Bethany College Swedes out on Memorial field to do battle with the Kansas "B"队.
Schake, a former star Kansas quarterback, will have three former Lawrence High boys in his starting lineup, and his captain and backfill is a former Jayhawk freshman star. Bethany will also be offering a for-profit college class for the state of Kansas tutored the Swedes for five years during the early 1920s. One of the three Lawrence men is Ernest Ireland, former freshman star here, who is one of the most accurate passers in Kansas. Ireland quarterback, was an all-Kansas Conference selection in 1936. The other two are hienen, Kephart being regular fiftie tackle and Matthew, 1 feat guard.
Bethany Backs Outstanding
Leading the Bethany team is Johnny Warren, 185 pound fullback, who played fresh football at KU. Warren is shifty for his weight and a dependable ground gainer. His running makes the Sweed backfield outstanding in the Kansas Conference. Giannangelo and Altenborg add speed, deception and power at the halffalls.
Altenburg is a former Lindorsch. High all-around athlete who made the Bethyn first team in his freshman year, Ireland, the quarterback, is fast but his chief threat is his forward passing and the "B" team boys will have to put up a sturdy pass defense to stop him.
Has Played Two Games
Bethany will have the advantage of two previous games this season. In their opener they lost to the strong Kearney, Neb. Teachers 6-0, and last week the Augusta (III.) team beat them 12-0. Both of these teams are exceptionally strong this year, however, and the fact that Bethany held them down makes them look like for middling opponents.
The Kansas lineup will consist of those men who do not see action in the Washburn game tonight. The back壁 will probably be light but he will probably get some to light when the new men get a chance to show their stuff.
A between-halves feature will be a resume of the first half of the Nebraska-Minnesota game over 11 kills. No other games will be announced.
Student activity books will admit students to this game.
Frosh Women To View Latest Campus Styles
Campus clothes as worn by the student will be the general theme of the tea and style show to be given morning in the Memorial Union ballroom.
The event is under the auspices of the Federation of Councillors, an organization formed this year to aid new students. All fresh women are invited to attend whether or not they have been called by their councillor.
Tea will be served from 3:30 to 4:30. The style show will be at 4 o'clock.
The aim of the Federation of Counsellors is to help the freshmen to know what to wear and when to wear it. Problems of whether or not to wear a hat and gloves, a formal or informal gown, sport or street clothes, and sandals or sport shoes will be solved for the new student.
The tea is only one of a number of events planned to acquaint students with one another and with Hill Cockell in its charge of arrangements.

Athletic Office Predicts Sellout of Washburn Game
The University of Kansas athletic office reports that the sale of tickets for the Washburn game has been good and that the season will be a complete sellout at the Lawrence and Toptea offices.
Tickets are being sold at $1.01 and $1.53. These prices include both the federal and state taxes.
A limited number of tickets to the game will be sold to students for $5.1.
There will be no special trains or buses to take spectators to the game.
Flying Club Interests Students
Forty air-minded men and women met last night to voice their enthusiasm in organizing the first University of Virginia Bloody experience to its members.
The plane is to be purchased with club fees, which are divided into stock shares and each member is entitled to sell his stock at any time. The fees, which are to be payable over a forty month's period, will include stock in the plane, insurance covering damage to the plane by accidents, mechanic service, and a student's permit.
The $3 charge an hour for flying includes飞费 expenses, hungar storage fee and a reserve fund to handle repair expenses.
A Curtiss Robin, powered with an OX5 motor, will probably be the plane used in the club. It has recently been relicensed by Department of Commerce inspectors as a ship in first-class condition.
After the meeting, students visited the airport to inspect the considered ship. A meeting will be held next week to elect officers and plan the program. All students are invited to attend the club meetings.
Price Addresses Pharmacy Group
The Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion, spoke at the weekly pharmacy colloquy yesterday on the importance of religion in the lives of the people today and its relationship to science.
Running in cycles, continued the speaker, religion first is essential in the lives of the people; second, it is not so essential; third, it becomes incidental, and in the last stage it becomes irrelevant.
Religion has at this time, according to Reverend Price, become an elective in the school life of a student and may play as important a part in the student's life as he wishes it to.
"The critics of religion often say that it fools the people and acts as a refuge for the weak and unhappy, that it stands in the way of progress, that it is a defense mechanism, that it provides more than mere, life is here and we should take it as it is and make the most of it." However, Reverend Price countered saying that the finest idealism in the world is born of rejection. And in reality, a man must have a religion or a substitute or it.
In closing his talk, Reverend Price stated that religion is not to be condemned because of the magical or surface ideals that are left over after the rituals. For the people of today to face facts squarely and put them to the test."
At the close of the program it was announced that the annual School of Pharmacy picnic would be held next Thursday and all students of the school are invited to attend.
