Band Gives Fall Concert Tonight
Noisy Marches Will Be Replaced by Symphonic Pieces as Band Makes First Appearance
Appearing locally for the first time this year in its concert role, the University Band will play tonight at 8:15 in the Auditorium.
Tuba Solo
Directed by Russell L. Wiley, the band has spent all of its spare time during and since the football season on its concert program. Out of its 85 musicians, he and drum majors whose tactics will add variety to the performance.
Noisys marches that prevailed during the football season will find no echo in the soft strains of the "Battered Bride" and the rhythmic interpretations of "Headlines." The tuba, rarely heard as a solo instrument, will seem to capture which whammy it at Venise" is played by Rex Conner, fa'unel.
"Fantasie Original," one of the most brilliant songs ever written for bariote, according to Mr. Wiley, is the offering of James Van Dyck, fa38 "Headlines," Mr. Wiley calls "a modern musician idiom expressing a cross-section of life from the press-room standpoint."
With the exception of "The Bartered Bride," "Hienzi," and "Einzugmurmur der Bolaen," every number is exclusively for symphonic band.
Novelty Number w11 include "Whistling Farmer's Boy"; "Bucking Horse Parade"; twirting of fire batons by Robert Hampel, e4; and Jack Dalfer, d14; and music saw selections by the Stuckenbruck brothers e2, 20; and Harry cunl.

on the SHIN by alan asher
Several of the Chi Omega dolls walked out of their house yesterday morning prepared for whatever chilly winds might blow. Sans snow, sans skis, but not sunskiats, they appeared on the campus, a woman in pants is an odd sight in these parts anyway, but the curious "play suits" worn by lavis reminded one of a sea scout who takes them and puts into jeans for the first time. I expect that the girls will have their house-mothers sew them up in red flannels when it really gets cold.
News! Instead of the usual feminine fashion displays appearing in the Sour Owl, feminine models will be pictured in slik niglegnes in the next issue of that publication to cideider it and correspond to will date. Dec. 15, according to Bob Corey, business manager. That's isn't advertising, it's a joke.

Ho him! Things are coming to a pretty pass. One of the less fortunate males of the campus found himself quite penitious? (a few days ago and being in dire need of coin, decided to sell one of the books that he had purchased earlier in the semester. Can you guess his consternation as he found the market on books had crushed and made him unable to recover the purchase price of the volume? All of which goes to show one of two things: Students should develop so much interest in their courses that they wouldn't think of selling a book, or some provision

NOTICE
The marriage of the two students had been kept secret since September but he waded public when it was learned that the girl was missing. George Conover spent two days in the vicinity of Manhattan in search of her brother. Lawrence he received a card from his wife saying that she had obtained employment with a cosmetic company at Ponce City, Okla.
Last week in Kansas City, faculty and athletic representatives of the Big Six schools labeled themselves "distinctly hostile to the training table idea and to any system of athletic scholarships such as that used by southern schools."
Hypocrisy - or Are We Wrong?
The Daily Kansan labels their action distinctly hypocritical. It believes that the covert, keepive tactics resorted to, to a greater or less extent at this very time by all member schools of the Big Six to procure and keep good football material—of which those faculty and athletic representatives are undoubtedly aware—are much less intelligent, honorable, and effective ways of maintaining a football team than some form of *open* subsidization.
Mrs. La Dora Conover, the 18-year-old bride of George Conover, c37, who has been missing from Kansas State College since Wednesday, is safe and in Tulsa, Okla., according to a telephone call received by her student husband, William Spencer. The girls parents who reside in Ackhison were immediately notified that she had been located.
1. Why don't or can't those in responsible positions face the fact that the training table idea is, to say the least, a reasonable one to fit the requirements of present-day football players, football conditions, and football audiences?
Bakelite products will be on display in a new exhibit case in the corridor of Marvin hall the latter part of this week. The materials used in the fabrication of Engineering and Architecture by the Bakelite Corporation to show the versatility of the material, and the compounds and elements used in making Bakelite products will be shown from light bulbs to false teeth, will be exhibited.
Tomorrow morning the Daily Kansan will publish a questionnaire covering every major point of contention in the football-tactics battle. It solicits the earnest co-operation of all University students and asks that they answer the questions exactly as they feel.

The University of Wichita Players will present "There's Always Juliet" at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9. in Praser theater as their part of an exchange performance arrangement with the Kansas Playhouse. The Web's own company owns its own scenery and stage furniture, which have been constructed especially for this play.
In John van Druten's comedy of manners, "There's Always Juliet," two people, an English woman and an American man meet at a party, fall in love, and decide to marry. Their three-act romance offers an opportunity to poke a little good-natured fun at the English and the Americans.
The leading characters, Leonora Perry Coate and Mr. Dwight Houston, are played by Miss Betty Neely and Mr. Cliff Hunt. Both of these people took minor parts in the performance of "The Late Christopher Bean" last year and have appeared in important roles in "Holiday," Heidy on Broadway and "Bling." Other members of the cast, Miss Maria Weigand as Florence and Charles Yazel as Peter Walmley, will be new to Fraser theater audiences.

Students to be examined have been chosen through the tuberculin tests given at the beginning of the semester.

Newland Encephalitis Victim
Death of Engineering Senior is Second From Same Disease; Had Been Ill a Week
William Robert Newland died at 8:45 last night of encephalitis, after having been confirmed for a week in an isolation ward in the Wakirk Memorial Hospital in Toronto caused by this disease in the last ten days.
Newland was a senior in mechanical engineering, and had just returned from an inspection trip to Chicago and Milwaukee with 32 other senior engineers, when he was stricken with this non-contagious form of sleep sickness. He was taken to the hospital a week ago yesterday where his case was diagnosed as encephalitis. He was placed in an isolated ward and given two special nurses who had no other patient to care for routine days ago, his condition became critical, and showed no improvement to the time of his dead last night.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Mary Newland, 142 Indiana street;
a twin sister, Ethel Chapman, who
is a junior in the College; and two
sisters, Elizabeth Cheyenne,
Wyo., and Miss Elizabeth
Newland, who is a graduate nurse
Funeral Wednesday
Funeral services will be held
2 p.m. Wednesday at the Rumsey
Funeral Home. The body later will
be reburied in Coke, Colle, where
Newland was born.
Other relatives include three aunts, Mrs. Marry Maddox, Miss Margaret Hart, and Mrs. Alice Davis, all of Lawrence.
This is the second case of encephalitis at the University in several years, both of which have proved fatal. Dorothy Spencer died November 27 after a two-week confinement. As far as known at present, there is no connection between the disease and the inspection trip at the time of her illness. They had no classes or interests together, although they lived in the same block
No Other Cases
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of health service, repeated his statement last night that there are no other cases of encephalitis in the hospital and that Canauteson stated last night. "At present there is not even any other suspected case of encephalitis. The disease is non-contagious, and it is just a strange coincidence that two cases occur in such a short period of time."
There are three different types of encephalitis: the "sleeping sickness"? which is confined to Africa; the epidemic type, which is very rare; and the non-epidemic type, of which these were cases, and which may follow colds, measles, sinus infection, or influenza.
His father died in 1952 of meningitis, and later his younger brother died of a similar sickness. The disease remained related, according to Dr. Cametonu.
German Club Meets
Newland was 21 years old
The German club meets at the home of Doctor Springer, professor of German, at 7 p.m. tonight for a pre-Christmas program. The hour has been changed to 7 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. in order to dismiss the meeting in time for the band concert in the auditorium.

King Must Choose Side In 48 Hours
British Statesman Says 'Constitutional Crisis' May Be Forced to a Decision
London, Dec. 7. - (UP) Edward VIII must choose within 48 hours between Wallis Warfield Simpson and the throne of England, a statesman high in the British government told the United Press Council to make the decision within 24 hours, the statesman said.
"He must act quickly as the support which the people have been extending him is decreasing."
The statement followed a frantic last minute effort on the part of friends of the harrassed monarch to work out a plan which they believed might enable Edward grace for it a brilliant American woman.
This effort centered on the declaration made last night in Cameron, France, by Mrs. Simpson who said that she "wished to avoid any action or proposal that would hurt or damage His Majesty or his property, if such action would solve the problem, to withdraw forthwith."
The statement on which rests the hopes of those who are striving desperately to keep Edward on his throne reads:
"I have, throughout the last few weeks, invariably wished to avoid any action or proposal which would damage his Majesty or the throne.
"Today my attitude is unchanged and I am willing, if such action would solve the problem, to withdrawn forthwith from a situation that has been rendered both unhappy and unenclosed."
London, Dec. 7- (UP) - Walter T. Monckton, a legal advisor to King Edward, and Sir Waltar Peacock, receiver general of the Duchy of Cornwall, conferred with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin tonight.
They were accompanied by two detectives who arrived with them at No. 10 Downing St., in a royal automobile. Some observers believed the conference was further evidence that the king was planning to abolicate, and that Monkton and Sir Walter were arranging the legal and financial step. When he was made aware of Wales, the King received revenues totaling 50,000 pounds ($250-600) annually from the Duchy of
