LAWRENCE, KANSAS,TUESDAY, JANUARY 12. 1937
Professors Sandelius and Osma Will Also Talk on Related Subjects
A debate, listed as the "main bourn" on ASU official posters, between Prof. A. M. Lee and Prof. John Lee, will be the featured event tonight as the co-conducted symposium entitled "Shall We Renain Neutral in Spain?"
The symposium will be held tonight at 8 o'clock in the Memorial Union ballroom. The discussion will not be limited to students. All interested townpeople are invited to attend.
The affirmative stand will be taken by Alfred M. Lee, professor of sociology and journalism, and the critic, Professor in the department of economics.
Before the "main bout" is held, there will be two preliminary speakers, Prof. J. M. Osa, department of romance language, who have a wide acquaintance with the present Spanish situation, and Prof. W. E. Sandelion, of the department of romance, who present a background for the debate.
NUMBER 74
Greg Hines, c'37, will serve a chairman.
The symposium is being conducted by the American Student Union. Plans by the ASU to help a student rally in support of Spanish democracy went awry when the organization was denied the use of campus buildings for that purpose by the university. In such a rally would be contrary to tech neutral policy of the United States government.

Maxine Woody, Chi Omega, tried to repay Frank Harwi, Pila Gam, for passing the ticket down the aisle to her which gave her a free trip to the Rose Bowl, but her sorority sisters intervened. Likewise, we tried to reveal more information, but Kansan heads intervened also, in that they did some censoring. However, if anyone would like to know the details, ask the aforementioned if they won't talk, ask this amenization.
Yau Wai Wong, who works in the bacteriology laboratory was in the dressing room recently changing his clothes and had progressed to the point where he was sans clothing when in walked one of the lady assistants. Wong did an about face, scampered through the door and out into the hall running and clattering in his native Chinese tongue. The doctor entered the opposite direction—and from the display of speed it was difficult to determine just which of the two was the more embarrassed.

Advanced Fine Arts Students Give Recita
With the Auditorium half-attributed of its seats and sound square emanating from under the stage at various times, the advanced student of the School of Fine Arts bravely presented a program of organ, piano violin, harp, voice, and cello music last night.
The audience, composed mostly of Fine Art students, tried to oversee these irregularities and to forget the echoes reverberating through the building. Their imaginations were strained considerably.
The program began with two impressive org声机: "Nun Kun Der Heiden Heiland" (Bach) and "Das Alte Jürgen Vergangen" (Bach) by Gerald Cole. These reminded one of convocations until one looked at the wide, empty space surrounding the organist.
The program continued with piano compositions "Segundida" (Albenziz) by Martha Boucher "Pridele" by Elena Bonifaci and back "Sinning Song" (Mendelssohn) and "Sherzo" (Mendelssohn) by Georgia Sue Rueer "Tocata" (Leuchterziky) by Jean Eichenbergh and Mary Jane Bursen "Lass-Bisss" by Mary Jane Bursen.
Violin solos were "Prelidium ad
Allegro" (Kreisler) by Carrie Nichols,
and the first movement of "Con-
templare" (Ferrier) by Charleine Barber, "Lolita
La Danseuse" (Tournier) was played on the harp by Elizabeth
Searle, and "Elegia" (Fiure) was played in the cello by Arthur Fielder.
"Summer" (Chinamide) was sung by Alice Marie Meyn; "Viss' d'Arte, Vicei d'Amore" from "La Tosca" (Pucci) by Mary Louise Zimmermann; "Gwine to Hebb'n" (Wolle) byude Dorsay; and "Hear Me Winde and Waves" from "Sciip" (Handel) by Chris Neisenwang.
W. S.G.A. will hold no more meetings until next semester unless announced.

Everett, Wash, Jan. 11, (UIP). A farm youth stumbled upon the little Charles Mattson in the woods near here today, and touched off the search for the murdered kidnaper who seized the child 15 days ago.
Body of Kidnaped Boy Found Badly Beaten Had Been Left in Alder Bushes; Found by Hunter
The 10-year-old victim apparently was beaten to death about four days ago. One blew had crushed in her teeth, and another knocked out several teeth.
Last night the abductor dumped the body in a shallow depression about 200 yards off a main highway, and drove away an automobile.
Search was started immediately for an ex-convict believed to have signed the name "Tim" to the note, asking $28.00 ransom, which was left in the Mattson home when Charles was kid-naped.
There 19-year-old Gordon Morrow found it today, when he chased a rabbit into the alder thicket which concealed the body. County officers, federal agents, two friends of the victim's father, and finally Dr. W. W Mattson, the bereaved parent, identified the body. The physician drove to Evevert from his home in Tacoma where the abduction occurred last Dec. 27. Federal Bureau of Investigation took the body after the gathering all around the scene. They obtained auto tire marks footprints, and photographs of the scene. They also hope to find fingerprints on the body.
Found by Hunter
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, with a record of having solved every major kidnapping of the past several years, led the search.

Senate To Fill Athletic Board Membership
IfBody Will Meet Today
To Select At Least
Six Faculty
Members
The University Senate will meet today to elect at least six faculty members to the newly established Athletic Board.
Naismith is ineligible because they are members of the department of physical education; Professor Smith, who died recently was a member of the faculty; Dr. William Fillie; the membership of Chancellor Lindley and Bursar Kleoz was made ex-officio by the Board of Regents thus leaving only Dr W. W. Davis, Dr R. C. Moore, and Dean Stockton eligible for reconsideration. Three students were not affected by the changes since they were duly appointed by the Alumni association and the student body as provided by the Regents. Before this, Chancelor Lindley appointed the new members of the board as vacancies occurred as well as those being filled. It was believed that too much power was concentrated in too few hands.
The newly established Committee on Management of Athletics must be composed of men who are able to devise much attention and time to prepare for the season. For several months before the new set-up will be functional smoothly,

May Elect Only One Man To Hill Position Left by Brown
Pachacamae and P.S.G.L. may reach a deadlock within the next few weeks if the Men's Student Council elects only one member to fill the vacancy left by Pachacamae Tom Brown, phi 37, who was disqualified from membership by the committee on eligibility. Fred Pralle, c38, former athletic representative and also a Pachacamae, was suspended, but only temporarily, pending his final standing at the end of the semester.
Prof. G.W. Stratton, department of chemistry, chairman of the eligibility committee, said yesterday that Pralle was declared ineligible at mid-semester under an additional ruling which requires a maintaining classwork average and which went into effect this semester.
Before the disqualification shake up, Pachacamac held a one-vot majority in the M.S.C. An electoral deadlock will result if but one member is declared permanently ineligible.
The Council's legal process of petition and posting notice gives it at least a ten-day, or at the most, a three-week recess, regarding negligibility in which time Praile has a chance to reinstate his stand.
If both men are multiple at the time of election, PS.GL. will, by a deciding vote of two, swing their votes against each other by electing two PS.GL. men.
Hands Off In Strike Is Roosevelt's Plan
Washington, Jan. 11- (UP)—President Roevitz is watching the automobile strike situation closely, but will not intervene personally until all other avenues to peace have been closed, it was learned tonight as fog and postponement to a “munching of mind” conference of union leaders.
A Pennsylvania airline central air-net transport, hearing Honor Martin, head of the United Automobile Workers, and John Brothro, secretary of the CLO from Detroit, to a meeting here with John L. Lewis in return to Pittsburgh tonight when it countered fog over Pennsylvania.
The conference here was postponed until Martin and Brothy arrive.
When it is held, assistant secretary of labor, Eward F. McGrady the President's abstentious trouble-shoot, will be at Lewis' elbow. He will enter the conference and plan into the conference, but his presence will emphasize the seriousness with which the administration regards the General Motors dispute
FOUR MORE PLANTS TO CLOSE
107,000 Will Be Unemployed by Wednesday Say Officials
Detroit, Jan. 11—(UP)—General motors executives said tonight there would be 107,000 of their employees out of work by Wednesday as a result of strikes called by the United Automobile Workers.
Strikes have crippled assembly lines, they added, and will force them to close down four more plants within the next two days.
Mediation efforts shift to Washington tonight, and Gov. Frank Murphy, who tried last week to force the state to stop Lansing, the state capital. He will keep in touch with the situation and may resume mediation efforts later.

Fifth Democratic Chief Has Few Criticisms of G.O.P. Program
—the fifth Democrat ever to be elected to that office. He succeeds All M. Landon, also a University product.
Walter A. Huxman, graduate of the Kansas School of Law, 1914, was inaugurated yesterday as the 27th governor of the state of Kansas
The famous old battered Landon hat went out of the Governor's office yesterday. A spruce new derby on the immaculate Mr. Huxman went in.
Governor Huxman, with 10 other state officials, was sworn into office at an elaborate ceremony in the auditorium of the Topeka High School that allowed that packed the building. The other officers inaugurated were:
State Auditor: George Robb, Salima, Republican.
State Treasurer; J. J. Rhodes,
Council Grove, Republican.
Inst. Repharmon
State Superintendent Public Instruction:
W. T. Markham, Yates Center, Democrat.
Insurance Commissioner; Charles F. Hobbs, Baldwin, Republican.
State printer; W. C. Austin, Cot
Leutenant Governor; W. M. Lindsay, Pittsburg, Democrat.
Supreme Court Justice* Hugo T. Wedel, Chanute, Republican.
Robert H. Harry K. Allen, Topka, Democrat.
Secretary of State: Frank J. Ryan, Kansas City, Kan. Republican.
Attorney General: Clarence V. Patterson
Say, Pittsburgh, Democrat.
Supreme Court Justice: Hugo T. Wedell, Chanute, Republican.
Governor Huxman has no illusions regarding his office and the likelihood of having a smooth, untroubled reign.
"I cannot but feel." Governor Hoxman said in his unusually brief address, "a tinge of sadness when I realize that of the many that now accept me and sing my praises, some will denounce, others will criticize and yet others will feel disaspirated in me before I retire from office."
Made for Promises
The new Governor's address contained no criticism of the Republic regime and be made few provisions regarding his acts in office.
Alf M. Landon, as the retiring governor, spoke words of advice, warning and caution to the incoming administration. He showed no dismay or haterness at leaving the court, which has held for the past four years.
Preceding the inauguration ceremonies a parade through Topeka streets was held in honor of the new governor. At the head of the columns of victors in November's elections marched the University of Kansas Band. Many other bonds from over the state also marched.
Prominent in the parade to the inaugural ceremonies and adding to the military dignity of the occasion was Harry H. Woodring, secretary of state. Also from the national capital and of high ranking in the parade was Guy T. Helvering, federal commissioner of revenue: United States Sen. George McGill, and Lynn Menon, democratic national commiteeer.
Military Salute
After the inaugural services the Governor and Mrs. Huxman were driven to the State House grounds where a 19-gun military salute was fired. Following the salute the gun crews fell back into formation and were reviewed by Mr. Huxman. The Governor defied all precedents set by former incumbents of his office and ordered the commissioned officers of the troops as well as the commissioned men in charge.
Noticeably lacking in Topeka was the spirit and noise that usually attends political gatherings in the Kansas capital. The only unexpected occurrence was during the inaugural ceremony when an apparently incubated member of the Kansas City, Kan., delegation heckled Governor
