Chet Friedland, peddler of those very excellent Beech-Nuties, beet- foot of the New York-to-Kansas immigrants, lays the responsibility for his new track record to a stadium rat. The rat, the first he had ever seen, took out after him on the track, and Chet, mistaking it for some beast of prey, raked like all gush-darn to get away from it. Chet claims he was carrying a package of Beech-Nut Cheeses in his hand.

Business Dean T alks Before U. of K. C. on 'Some Persisting E c o nomic Fallacies'
"Teachings of university professors in engineering, chemistry, and mathematics are readily accepted by the general public, while the teachings of of university professors are disregarded," said Frank T. Stackton, dean of the University School of Business in a fall yesterday morning before students of the University Kamala Palin University for Fellows" was the title of Dean Stackton's speech.
Failure of the economist's idea to "not accuse" was blamed in part on the reference of the professors, but more to the fact that various group leaders had been forced unable to obtain desired legislation, not matter how unground economically
He pointed out a number of fallacies such as nationalism with its battery of protective tariffs, the AAA which added the high-cost producer group, and reduction of working hours which didn't bring new business. Opinion to the introduction of new machinery, he said, is not good economics. He also dislikes the Townland plan for the same season.
"My examination of persistive economic fallibilities is limited to those which ignore cost considerations, which prepare protection to high-cost productions, which favor high-cost certainties," said Dean Stockton.
According to Dean Stockton, "The economist has seen his ideas concerning workers' compensation, old age pension, and unemployment benefits come into their own. If he keeps penging away, perhaps he can witness new accomplishments in the future."

Colleges Need To Liberalize
Wheeler
"Modern college education is a book-seek in which 50 per cent of our best minds cannot learn adequately" is the view expressed by R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, in discussing the plan to better faculty-student relations presented by the Freshman Course at Carnegie Mellon University afternoon in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.
"There is no question in my mind that we need to liberalize—to informialize—academic education at the college level," said Dr. Wheeler in considering the plan. The Freshman Council's plan was initiated last year by Rudi Reckner, McCann, c40, Kermit Franke, c40, Don Henry, c39, C. H.

Edward VIII Becomes
Private Citizen; N e w
Ruler May Be Albert
Or Perhaps George VI

London, Dec. 10. — (UP)—Albert Duke of York, will be proclaimed the thirty-ninth King of England tomorrow—according to the throne that Edward VIII abdicated yesterday for the love of Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson.
Before the week is over Edward probably will be off English soil. There were reports here and in Copenhagen today that he would buy a cattle in Denmark, because Col. Charles A. Lindbergh once remarked "Sensational guests interest the Danes only five minutes, then they
Edward plans to marry Mr. Simpson as soon as her divorce becomes absolute, or sooner if legal arrangements can be made.
Today Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor, sitting alone in front of a log fire at his country estate at Fort Belvedere, still was King of Great Britain and Emperor of India. He will remain to until Parliament passes an act of abdication introduced there yesterday by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. The moment Edward VIII lifts his pen after signing that act of abdication he ceases to be king.
That document may be signed before 10 p.m. today, an hour when he is scheduled to go on a world-wide hook-up to deliver a farewell message to the empire. The Daily Express in its report of the news of that broadcast to its readers with a three-column headline reading:

London, Dec. 11. (UP) — The Duke of York was trying to decide tomorrow whether to take the name of George VI or Albert I when he mounts the throne of the British Empire to rule over one-fourth of the world's people. He was torn in his indisposition between a desire to assume the first of his Christian names, Albert Frederick Arthur George, and the desire of his mother, Queen Mary, to perpetuate the name of his father, George V.
"Being a teacher of English at the University of Kansas has been fun these 45 years, but it has never been more fun than now, declared Dr. Edwin M. Hopkins, yesterday afternoon. Dr. Hopkins, who retires from his teaching at the end of this year, reviewed unusual details of his "checkeder" life in a talk before a crowded room of students, faculty, and friends gathered to do him honor, in Fraser hall.
More than 4,000 throats cried: "God save the king!"
The Duke, standing on the steps of the brown stone house, smiled and rodded to the people, then danced inside with them. Then they swam in a river, which awaited him.
After 46 Years, Teaching Never More Fun Than Now, Says Dr. Hopkins
The crowd remained, its about swelling in the hope that the royal family might appear on the balcony. So thickly pressed were those around the gate that mounted police aboard for three minutes to clear
"One of the greatest rewards to a job like mine," he said, "is the respect, confidence, and appreciation of students, and the knowledge that I cannot alight in any section of the book without finding a friend there."
