VOLUME XXXV
Induct 1200 Students Into Fold
Chancellor Administr
Athenian Oath to New
Members; Band Makes
First Appearance
A brisk, invigorating night overhung by moon-pierced clouds witnessed the oath of allegiance to the University from the throats of 1200 new students in the stadium last night. In the flickering shadows of a fire ignited by a torch borne from old North College hill, Chancellor E. H. Lindley administered the Athenian oath to all new students.
The torch, ignited from a fire in the fire basket atop the historic hill where the first settlers of Lawrence built their fires 83 years ago, and where the first building of the University stood, was carried from the hill to the Rock Chak Cairn and on into the stadium in a colorful ceremony that involved members of the university faculty, and Fred Blitch, alumni secretary, who represented the 20,000 alumni of the University. Members of Mortar Board and Sachem also participated in the ceremony.
As the new fire illuminated the great seal of the University, the new students heard a reading of the scriptural description of the University; and as Hannah Oliver, '74, professor emeritus of Latin, explained the significance of the seal and Chancellor Lindley made a brief explanation of the historical background of the fires and torch used in the ceremony.
The ceremony was held in the north bowl of the stadium. A platform bearing the principals in the ceremony was placed on the playing field near the northeast curve of the bowl.
Martin Maloney read a poem especially written for the occasion by Florence Snow, daughter of archely Chancellor of the University.
After the freshmen donned their caps, the president of the sophomore class reaffirmed the fidelity of the upperclassman to the University Chancellor Lindley stated the obligations of fealty.
The entire body closed the ceremony by singing the Alma Mater and giving the Rock Chalk yell. The University band, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, furnished the music for the ceremony.
on the SHIN by Virgil Mitchell
Whether or not, it's an indication that swing, rhythm and music are coming to their own in the leisure hours of the most energetic class of young people. Those young people are college students. But here is another opinion.
A step in the right direction: Jack Townsend announces that arrangements have been made to have an orchestra every lunch and dinner hour, starting Monday, at the Meeran Opera. Does this mean tea dancing?
swing, swing, swing, swing, everybody's swinging. That's the temp of today, and it seems to me that all the Joe and Josephine Colleges are set to up that truckin' tempo for the first time in years, as many daily routines—let's continue what's fast becoming a campus custom!"
That's what Jane Coats has to say about it, and Jane is a gal that knows her swing. Now let's hear from last year's Shin artist:
In England everything stops for tea, and tea begins flowing about 4 o'clock. At the State U. the dean of men and the dean of women have hoped for years that the students would show a little more English background, but to be the main difficulty seemed to be to get the students interested in tea. The way to do this is to add 'dancing' onto the end of the tea and move the location to the Union dining room or ball room, away from the beer joints, thus engaging the interests of temperance and the diffusion of liberal culture without the terrifying effects which so often accompany such diffusion." And that, folks, was "Diddle"

Chinese Warn Foreign Shipping
Shanghai, Sept. 17 (Priday) — (UP) China warned foreign shipping today to stay outside the 122nd meridian off the Chinese coast between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. indicating the Chinese government was pre-emptive but a fret of war planes to attempt to break the Japanese blockade.
Chinese were distressed at Washington's limited munitions embargo, pointing out that it reacts directly in favor of Japan and further reduces China's chances of obtaining essential military supplies. They feared that America would be overwhelmed by the United States neutrality law, which would be an additional blow.
As the general war which startles outside Peiping the night of July 7 entered its seventy-third day, the conflict increased in magnitude and the pressure on Beijing This was instanced by President Roosevelt's order prohibiting transport of munitions to either side in ships owned by the United States government, and by Chinese Ambassador Wellington Koo's appeal at Geneva for foreign assistance and protection by the League of Nations.
The whole military situation appeared to be developing in Japan's favor and there was a prospect, despite China's bitter resistance, that the country would have more duration than the one year which observers heretofore have forecast.

Hamilton Fish Accuses Speaker of Membership In Ku Klux Klan
Washington, Sept. 16 (UP)—Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Dem. Mont.), leader of the oppositior which frustrated President Rosnevelt's supreme court program, demanded tonight that the President name an "impartial board" to investigate published reports that Supreme Court Justice Richard Muir Ku Klux Khan. Wheeler asserted that if the President failed to act, "the Senate should do so."
Meanwhile the controversy raging about the new supreme court justice's alleged life membership in the Klan spread to the house leadership, forcing Speaker William D. Bankhead, (Dem, Ala.), to issue a vigorous denial that he ever belonged to the "invisible empire".
Bankhead's statement was prompted by a suggestion from Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., (Rep.N.Y. 1), that "it might be well to find out the status of the speaker in view of the fact that he, like Black, is a native of Alabama and because it was the speaker's brother, Senator John Bankhead, who assured the Senate that the newly appointed justice was not a member of the hooded order".
Hugh Johnson Charges Move Toward Dictatorship
Chicago, Sept. 16—(UP)—General Hugh Johnson, one-time kingpin of the New Deal's National Recovery Administration, charged today that "under the seduction of ballyhoo, bribery and charm we are moving
. . . straight toward as rigid a dictatorship, as there is on earth."
Johnson, speaking before the National Hardware Association on the existence of Constitution Day, charged that President Roosevelt "seeks power to influence the decisions of all the federal courts—of the supreme court by appointment to it of a majority of puppets of his own mind, not hilfully, Ku Klux Klan from the forks of the creeks, like Sarah Black".
It was Johnson's only direct reference to the controversy over Black's supreme court appointment. The principal objective of the New Deal he said, is "to give us a new form of government, not within the constitution, but in spite of the constitution".
To Discuss Football Situation

More Jobs Reported To Employment Bureau
Several more jobs were reported yesterday to the Men's Student Employment Bureau.
Most of the positions that have been turned in have been odd jobs, although a few permanent ones in exchange for room and board have been reported. These odd jobs are welcome to add as an incentive to a student's income, Fred Elsworth, alumni secretary, said.
Up to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon 575 boys had registered, putting at the disposal of the employment bureau student workers skilled in nearly every line. With an increase in the number of students wanting work it is highly necessary that everyone co-operate with the bureau in assisting students to secure positions.
