John Ise may be a lot of things to the believers in the status quo, but to the walking students on the floor he is one in a row. Give me a gift you a life in his old buggy even if it is only for a step or two. For years now this kindness on the part of Ise has made him the favorite of a lot of students who never see him in a class under him! I don't have a class under him!
Shagging with the kids: The mid-week was a dinger last night. The only gripe is that the stag line has not found a place to stand as yet. For the stags' information, the spot is in the center of the room around the pillars across from the orchestra. Try it.—Among those present was Prexy Voorhees of the M.S.C., big feet and all-white hair. Bencil and was asking everyone if his suit was new—Truckers included Dave Oberlin and Joan Taylor, and not bad—Max Nickelli was entertaining his pals with a bit of Hugh Herbert pantomime—Mostly people danced.
We're not turning scientific, but we ran into a tempting experiment at the mid-week last night. The Johnson sisters were running such a close race in being cut that we posted counters to keep the score. Helen (the younger) ran a smooth 16 each heat for two five-minute heats. Dori (the older) ran her first the second lap came in with only five. Neither a record but they're keeping it in the family at any rate.
R. B. Quin, of the light-footed Kappa Sigs, is laying down money that he will appear in two dimensions in every Sour Owl this year. Another thing about R. B. is his lack of ego. When someone mentions the subject of who the best-looking man on the Hill is he pipes up with, "Oh, an, and" When dancers are performing discussion he comes on with, "What makes me that way?" We have wired Hollywood.
One of the German exchange students found a dollar bill ('other morning and turned it over to Wiley of the bandsters. Wiley waved his hand and said, 'Please for someone to identify it. No one would. That band should go places.'
Society: The Owl staff enjoyed a late afternoon tea yesterday midst the blare of the Cottage jammers. The concession banquet consisted of chocolate cake with sticky marshmallow frosting and spooked cokes. Another item to come out of undistributed profits.
Duce Goes Home To Plan Peace Pact
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1927
Berlin, Sept. 29—(UP) —Premier Bento Musello, lontraining a cold with hot lemonade, left Berlin today at 3:51 for Italy where he will conclude plans for a four-power pact with Italy, Italy, Great Britain and France.
Over a luncheon at the chancellery, Fueber Adolph Hitler and the Italian premier discussed the possibilities of bringing Poland into accord as a fifth member, and Hitler was said to have assured his support as the bulwark for their Rome-Berlin axis.
Hitter was said to have impressed Mussolini with the importance of swift settlement of the Spanish crisis. He intimated that the early conclusion of war in Spain would simplify bringing about of a four-thirds victory against the Nazi-Fascist dictators and security against Soviet Russia.
Hitter frankly told Mussolini that he must solve his Mediterranean problem alone. If by so doing Mussolini should promote more amiable relations among powers of western Europe, he could strengthen the Rome-Berlin unity.
Mussolini was said to be insistent that Hitler pay a return visit soon. German quarters, however, said that it would be impossible until late next spring.

Views on Nazi Rule Discussed
Contrary to widespread belief, the German people are not objecting to their strict Nazi rule. This opinion was supported by Sam Anderson and Stanley French in an informal discussion of present-day Germany at the W.Y.C.W. meeting held at the Henley house yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Anderson, a German major at the University, and Mr. French, who graduated in '37, recently returned from a summer spent in a tour of Germany and the German-speaking countries. In his comments upon Hitler and the Nazi party, he noted that the author of mail, prohibition of secret societies, and anti-Jewish propaganda apparently have not affected the faith of the majority of citizens in the policies of their leader. Visiting his friend who lived in a German village, he had an opportunity to observe the reaction of the people to the Nazi form of dictatorship.
Anderson, who visited Berlin, Munich, Vienna, and other cities, stressed particularly the valuable contributions which Germany has made to the cultural world and declared that few other countries have so rich a history of architecture, artists, and musicians are outstanding in their achievements. he said, opportunity to study in Germany is profitable.
Kansas: Generally fair today, wit slight rise in temperatures; partl cloudy in west portions Friday.

Tokyo, Sept. 30—(UP) A certain quarter, presumably the war office, has been informed that Soviet Russia is furnishing China with men and ammunition in her war with Japan, the Domeli agency reported today.
Council Control Is No Certain Matter. Campus Politicians Learn
Soviet Reported Sending Arms to China
Also, it was asserted, the Soviet is transporting munitions to the rear bases of the former Chinese communist armies which are opposing the Japanese in northern Shansi and eastern Suiyuan provinces.
According to the report, the Russian officers are assisting in the direction of the defense of Nanking, and Marshal Dassilai Bluecher, commander of the Soviet far eastern army, is in daily radio-telephone contact with General Lepin, the Soviet military attache in Nanking.

A short story, "A Kind of a Svm-
bol," will be read by Kenneth Lewis

contest and who is chancellor of the Quill Club. Two short-shorts, "Decision," by Agnes Mumert, and "Triumph," by Karl Krauss, will also be read.

Alumni Teachers Will Convene
The recent purge, taking five Pachacamaca and two P.S.G.L.s, is but one of many such incidents in the past few years of Council history. And strangely enough, the majority is usually in different hands when the vacancies are filled by new entrants, in disguise, or in anticipation of the fatal hand of the eligibility committee, have also figured heavily

in the altogether unstatic nature of the Council control.
Employed as Research Assistant
Last year, Pachacamac converted a deadlock into a one-man majority by electing the president of the freshman class, only to lose him. Then after the mid-mesester report. But some irregularity was discovered on the filing of P.S.G.L. petitions, and after a struggle that carried over into the second semester, Pachacamac pushed through with a two-member group.
After the spring election last year, Pachacamac still had a one-man edge, and launched the freshman battle this fall with a possibility of stretching the gap a man farther; he used his hand, and P.S.G.L. now rules the roost with a maximum possibility of a 17-major victory.

Black, however, indicated on landing that he might make a radio reply to the charges later.
Washington, D.C. Sept. 29—(UP) —Supreme court Justice Hugo L. Black rested tonight in nearby Alexandra at the home of his wife's brother-in-law after refusing on his arrival from Europe at Norfolk, asking answer questions regarding his alliance membership in the Ku Klux Klan.
Refuses To Make Statement
The justice and his wife stopped in Alexandria on their way from Norfolk without visiting Washington, where he is scheduled on Monday to take the supreme court seat at the retirement of Willa 7andventer.
"When I have any statement to make on the subject," Black said, "I will make it in a way that I can be notated and so the public can hear it."
He set foot on American son as Norfolk, Va—the smiling man who refused to take cognizance of accusations that already he was pledged to a doctrine of discrimination against Jews, Catholics, and Negroes at the time he took the oath of supreme court justice.
There was a moment of silence and then, from the rear rank of the newspaper men clustered around him came this question, "Will you answer this one question Justice Black—are you a member of the invisible empire, Knights of Ku Klux Klan?"
Accuses Press
The smile left Black's face, then slowly he said, "I have already made my statement."
Black move toward the gang-
plank as the City of Norfolk bumped
into her birth. Newpaper men shot
questions at him.
"Does your statement mean that you are preparing to make a radio speech?" he was asked.
"Well, some parts of the press might fail to publish all of what I said."
"Are you going to take your seat on the supreme court bench Monday?"
Now Located in Court Office "I have already made my statement."
"Shall we say that your are un-
needed about a radio statement?"
"You read my statement, didn't you?
you want to weigh overcoast across his arm."
Then he was gone. He walked down the gangplank waving at the people at the pier and got into a waiting automobile.
The last word he said in Norfolk was in response to a question as to where he could be located here. He may any office in the supreme court.
