Italy, Germany Discuss Spain's War Situation
Possibilities of a Non- Intervention Pact Among Foreign Powers
London, Jan. 14.-(UPI) British statesmen statement foresight that the Mussolini-Goering conversations in Rome may end foreign intervention in Iraq.
British authorities hope that the concrete result of the Mussolini-Goering will be designated at a later date. The pro-Western powers will agree to stop their nations from enlisting in Spain's armies. They hope, too, that this will be backed by an efficient system of espionage of men and munitions recruited abroad.
General Herman Goering's chief, Adolph Holt, too, has been impressed recently with the fact that his brother Francisco Franco may be very costly.
Franco recently sent word to Germany that he needed 60,000 more "volunteers," but Hitler's advisors told him that the Nationalist general was being called in for military, and they oppose such deep involvement in the Spanish muddle.

The Sigma Chi's held their annual "snow party" last night at which they "weathered" the pledges so that they might be able to stand the rigors of the winter. The pledges are all of them, minus all clothing except their shoes; then they get down in track position and are started on their trek by a bucket of water being thrown on from them from the top of the house. They are taken off first to the house and activated at different points tackle the pledges and roll them in the snow until they are thoroughly cooled off. The next step is to run them around the hedge and back again to the point where they again sued for water and the party is over.
Three Theta's appeared at the Journalism building trying to get the managing editor to write them an excuse for working so that they could stay with their mother after staying out to watch the "snow party." One Sigma Chi present suggested that they might chase the pledges past the Theta house and thus save the three girls and give all of the Theta's a break.
Wanted: Someone to stop Bob Busy, outstanding Journal-World columnist, from singing the "Music Goes Round and Round" during his daily morning meandering. He seems to have the idea that you should sing in your song, and any-way, singing in this kind of weather is a kajin to laughing at a funeral.
There is a Gamma Phi alumna in the department of English who has been noted for purposefully flunking every sorority sister who enrolls in her courses, but this year Jane Reid is reported as doing exceptionally well in a rhetoric course and is expected to break the well-established precedent, and should make University history.
The approaching marriage of Bob Schroeder and Janet Manning which is to take place Feb. 14, has brought the couple together ready rented an apartment along with another law student and they plan to move in Feb. 1, which presents the problem whether Bob Schroeder cut out his colleague or his wife.
--beginning of the evening was Fere-Gorfe's "Mississippi Suite" with the Tau Sigma girls at their best. The first movement of the suite, "Father of Waters," depicted the spirit of the great river through the rhythmic figures of the dance executed by the chiriness dressing in flowing robes of green and white. A solo舞 in this movement by Barbara Goll, c37, deserves special mention.

SIMPSON'S SUIT MAY BE SETTLED OUT OF COURT
London, Jan 14—(UP)—Ernres Aldrich Simpson's slander suit against Mrs. Joan McKeenich Sutherland may be settled out of court, but such a suit has never been so timely told the United Press tonight. The suit, which charges that Mrs. Sutherland remarked that Simpson was "well paid" for not contesting Mrs. Walls Warfield Simpson's dislike, was filed a week or 10 days ago.
Roosevelt Is Urged To Consider Laborers
Important New Dealers Say Amendment Is Needed
Washington, Jan. 14—(UP)—President Roosevelt has been urged by important New Dealers to recommend maximum hour and minimum wage legislation to Congress immediately to forestall scutting of his program by organized conservative foes and powerful fides, it was learned tonight.
Strict secrecy surrounds Mr. Roosevelt's plans to achieve the social objectives of the invalidated NRA. Congressional leaders say they have not been advised of the White House program. This was clearly indicated when Senate majority leader Joe P. Robinson and Speaker William S. Bankhead publicly endorsed the need of a constitutional amendment. Fewer than 48 hours later, Mr. Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress and said a constitutional amendment was not a "vital" need. He said the social goals of the Deal could be under the Constitution of the U.S. Supreme Court would interpret the fundamental law of the land more liberally.
The President is expected to outline his position more clearly in his inaugural address. He has not closed the door on a constitutional change. Recent White House visitors say Mr. Obama's proposed revision is rejection if it becomes apparent that the problem cannot be met by legislation.
Demands for Expanded Government Relief Program
UNEMPLOYED TO PARADE
Washington, Jan. 14—(UP)-Jobless delegates assented they represented more than 1,000,000 unemployed, converged on Washington tonight to "impress upon Congress" through a mass demonstration to their demands for a greatly increased government relief program.
David Laffort, president of the Workers Alliance of America, and leader of the so-called relief camp, and it would be "the largest demonstration and parade of unemployed President Rossetti took office in 1923."
If tomorrow's "disciplined demonstration" fails, Laffer warned "we are determined to continue to fight for our program with every lega means—a real hunger march, if necessary."
THE MID-WINTER CONCERT
The mid-winter concert by the Westminster A Cappella choir will be given Sunday evening at 7:30 at the First Presbyterian Church. The choir presents a group of choral numbers, both with organ accompaniment and unaccompanied.
An adaptation of one of the themes from Wagner's "Lohengrin" will close the program. Solo parts in this number will be taken by Ted Val Sloan, bantone; Alice Marie Meyn, soprano; Phyllis Armstrong, conductor; and Dennis Hodges Caino, a member of the choir, will give a violin solo.
The anthem from Braham's "German Requiem" entitled "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place" will open the program. This will be followed by a performance, which will include the new unaccompanied anthem by Charles Sanford Skilton of the School of Fine Arts faculty entitled "Love Divine." A second group of unaccompanied anthems will be from the Russian featuring numbers from Tchokhawny, Kossilyi, and Gretcheniawoff.

Students Meet To Hear Report On Interviews
K. U. Welfare Committee Explains University Needs to State Legislators
The 200 students of the University Welfare Committee will meet this afternoon at 3:30 in the Central Administration auditorium to hear the results of their collective efforts over the holidays and to make new plans for obtaining the Regents' requests for the University. The committee, organized through the traditions committee of the Men's Student Council, consists of students from nearly every county in Kansas who arranged before the holidays to approach and explain to their state legislators the needs of their community. The men may know better how to consider them when they are considered when appropriations are voted.
Eddie Rice, 138, will preside at the meeting which will hear what results have been obtained from the 139 reports turned in thus far by these same students after their holiday efforts.
Rice To Preside
Because of the cuts in appropriations during the recent six years, research work has been curtailed, classes have become crowded, and professors are leaving the University for other schools for better positions and higher alarms. Because these three conditions adversely affect the value of diplomas from Kansas, the M.S.C., and these students have taken a more active role in the program. During the depression operating funds were cut approximately 25 percent while the enrollment increased markedly.
University Needs
The Regents are asking for the University an addition to the stacks of Watson library, completion of repairs to Dyche museum, and restoration of Oread campus. A number of appropriations are needed for the University of Kansas Hospital in Rosedale. After having approached legislators on these needs of the University, the committee turned in reports on their efforts The executive group of the committee has tabulated the findings.
The executive committee consists of the following: Do Vourhees Martin Witherins, Phil Rump, Bok Thorpe, C. H. Mullen, John Malone Eddie Rice, Rain Trap, Clyde Creed Jr, and Harry O'Riley.
Missouri, Oklahoma
Win Basketball Games
ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
In the basketball games played the early part of this week Missouri defeated Iowa State 31-28, and Oklahoma won a non-conference game from the Oklahoma Aggies by *r* score of 30-24.
The Architectural Society met yesterday afternoon for a short business session. The secretary's report followed new office were elected:
In the Missouri-lowa State game the Tigers took advantage of the erratic shooting and ball-handling of the Cyclones to build up a 17 to 6 advantage in the first half. Iowa State failed to score a basket until the last minute of the opening half, when Captain Fleming finally counted with an under-basket shot. Iowa State picked up in the last half and nearly caught the final hit. Fleming biting and scoring 15 points for individual scoring honors, despite the fact that he missed eight free throws.
The Oklahoma Sooners won an upset victory over the Oklahoma Aggies before a crowd of approximately 5,000. It was the first defeat for the Aggies, who had previously won eight straight games. The Sooners led all the way, guarding sensationally and freezing the ball in the winning minutes of play to keep the Treured Aggie on the floor. Connelly and Martin were the stars of the game as Oklahoma finished on the top 30 to 24. Connelly was high-point man with 13 points.

Geologists Plan To Erect Monument
Hope to Preserve Sand stone Concretions In Kansas
The committee before submitting their report to the director of the National Park Service of the Department of Interior, made a study of 101 individual concretions of the region, some of the largest of which were 27 feet in diameter. Those members of the committee who were most interested in the research besides Professor Schowee were Dr. Horr, also of the University of Dr. L. C. Harv, and St. State Teachers College, and Dr. C. E Burt of Southwestern College, Winfield.
Through the efforts of the Kansas committee on Natural Areas and Biology, of which Prof. W. H. Showe of the department of geology is chairman, a national monument may be erected a short distance southwest of Minneapolis county seat of Ottawa county, for the preservation of numerous concrections of South Dakota sandstone which exist there.
The concretions which have been known since 1818 are of the dominant rock bed in north-central Kansas. They were caused by the action of underground water which formed the rock, and then deposited calcareous cement between the sand grains. Cementation beginning at various scattered points and continuing outward was responsible for the spherical shapes of the concretions. The canyons have long been recognized as excellent examples because of their distinctive size, number, shape, accessibility, and for details of cross-bedding which was caused by the transporting agent of the sand which could be depleted at an inclination.
At the present time in many of the concretions the tight cement is being removed by sub-weathering, but still more by campers and pienicers who find these rocks ideal ovens for their fires.
The investigations of the committee have been financed by two grants of $50 each from the Kansas Academy of Science, and the Graduate Research committee of the University.
Under the chairmanship of Chas.
P. Woodbury, 12, Kansas City, Mo.
a committee of 27 members of the
graduating class of 1912 will hold
a meeting in the alumni office Sun-
day afternoon at 3 o'clock.

The committee will meet in order to make plans for the class of 1912s quarter-century reunion which will be held on June 5 and commencement on June 5, 6 and 7.

Political Ghost Bobs Up Despite Examinations
M.S.C. Meets Wednesday
To Replace Vacancies
Left By Ineligible
Members
By Morris Thompson, c'uncel Kansas Political Writer
Politics, like the poor, is always with us. Some members of the Men's Student Council and some lay students feel that it should be treated as a duty to be alert and be sure to be aired. But skeletons in themselves are news, and, anyway, politics has always been a fundamental part of human relations, and all such fundamental urges and forces should be spoken of with no feeling of shame or embarrassment.
Now that we have established politics as a distinct part of Hill life, we may plunge into an analysis of the difference between the two major Hill parties.
Just what the score is between Pachacamac and PS.GL at present is a matter of who gets the first jump, and it appears from PS.GL's determination to hold the regular meeting on the Wednesday night of final week that party is determined to have PS.GL as part of Macra's vulnerability that developed as a result of the mid-stemer eligibility report.
Who Has Power?
This report definitely vacated the position of Tom Brown, ph37, and temporarily suspended Jake Young. Then in a second lesson Fred Pralle, c38, pending grades at the semester, thus leaving the score standing at this writing as 13-10 in favor of P.S.G.L., with one seat available to be filled before the semester end.
Deadlock Avoided
Had the newly developed minority party failed to take steps to fill this position before the next semester, it is possible that semester reports might have released the restraining order on the three disabled Pachacamacs and resulted in a deadlock in the council. In such an event an agreement as to Brown's successor might never have been reached.
But with the publication for petitions to fill the vacant chair and the meeting scheduled for the Wednesday night preceding the end of the semester, it appears that P.S.L. Gull will have the upper hand with a resulting majority of 14-10 to start activities in the new semester.
An unusual situation exists in the fact that both Young and Hemphill are members of the council only as class presidents, and the vacancies left by their suspension cannot be filled by the usual council procedure; even if they are declared definitely ineligible on their semester's grades. The two students of the Poor Canes now suspended should return to the council, P.S.G.L. will still have a 14-13 edge—the one-man majority that has figured so strongly first or one side then on the other in council procedure all year.
Quarantine to Lift Sunday
One Sig Alph in Hospital; 24 Are
Quarantined
Twenty-four members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity have been ordered to remain in quarantine until Sunday morning.
Charles Herold, c'uncel, pledge of the fraternity, was diagnosed on Monday morning as having scarlet fever. The hospital at once called the Sig Alpha house and requested that none of them leave. Those having 8:30 classes having left were contacted and asked to return home. The Dick test was given to all members of the fraternity Monday noon, and a temporary quarantine was placed on the students until 24 hours. At the end of this time, Tuesday noon, the members were examined by R. I. Cautaneus, director of student health, and 24 were found to have positive reactions.
Dean Lawson, of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will speak Monday afternoon at 4:30 tlw the Freshman commission of W.C.A. on "Courses in the Curriculum for Women Students." This is one of four sessions this group by faculty members on some phase of University life.

PROF. RUSSELL RETURNS FROM ENGINEERS MEETING
Symphony-Dance Recital Is Given To Large Crowd
Orchestral Selections And Dance Numbers Are Well Received By Audience
By Ken Postlethwaite, c'38
The first half of the evening's program was devoted to four numbers by the orchestra opening with Mozart's "Overture to Die Enfuehrung aus dem Dernal!" This composition was performed on bass clarinet, the orchestra and, with but few exceptions, they performed adequately. Most difficult and elaborate of the orchestra's presentations was Mozart's "Symphony No. 35 in D Major." Of the four movements: Allegro con spirito; Andante; Menudo and Presto the second, Andante, enjoyed the most finished performance.
A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the return of Director Karl Kuersteiner and his University Symphony orchestra to the concert stage at the Auditorium last night. The evening was the annual recital of Tau Sigma, University dancing sorority.
Five String Section
In the symphony the fine string section of the organization showed off the instrumentation Director Kuersteiner's interpretation of the entire symphony followed closely the spirit of the music.
"Danse Macabre" (Saint-Saems), a wizard, ghazaly number featured Concertmaster Robert Sedore, f.37. His superb tone on the violin received fine support from the rehearsal team of the ensemble and be made of Alex Fielder, c.ucn1 whose artistry on the flute showed forth in a brief solo part which he played. The final offering by the orchestra was the familiar "Finlandia" (Sibelius). The amount of volume in this number is sufficient to subdue the energy of the orchestra seemed to hold musique to the minimum.
Dancers Entertain Crowd
Dancers Entertain Crowd
The Tau Sigma dancers made it the first night of evening to "Concert Piece for Dance and Orchestra" composed by Charles McManis, fc. 17. It was the first public performance of the composition. The dancers kept the number from falling into complete disrepute through their distracting the audience from the music. The composition left the audience with the feeling that it might not be too pleasant to hear uncompanied by the mad, dizzy music. This much may be said for the composer that nothing has ever been heard just like it.
"Mardi Gras" Presented
*Mardi Gras* Presented
the offer, and most extravagant
fringe of the season. Derfee
Gore's "Mississippi Suite" with the
Tau Sigma girls at their best.
"Huckleberry Finn," the second movement, was not the best for it showed that the dancers had reheared more with Paul Whiteman recordings than they had with the orchestra. Their movements were, at times, noticeably imperfectly synchronized.
"Croelle Days," the third offering of the dancers, exhibited Jeanne tippealn, c40; in a slow solo performance by six durely dressed dancers.
The final movement of the suite "Mardi Gras" was quite breath-taking. For the first time in many years men entered this annual exhibition of dancing and quite stole the show. The men who did the muscle work in a group of adagio舞们 were: Bernice Humphrey, c'38; Geral Wafralen, c'40 and Harold Humbert, c'40. The women whom they threw blithely about were: Nellie Marie Roberts, c'28 and Fern Hill, c'40.
Berry Saysley, c'40; Ruth Worley,
ed 37, and Reba Corbate, c'39, formed the background of the Mardi Gras number with a lively exquisite rou-
ting.
The lighting effects throughout the "Mardi Gras" number were especially helpful to the various scenes. Credit for them goes to Iden Long director; John F. Long; Leland Coopir, f'aunel Harvey; Barkel, caryl
