Landon Closes
Fiery Campaign
With Vote Appeal
Governor Speaks from Topeka. "We Must Hold Line of Democracy," He Urges
Topeka, Nov. 2,—(UP)—Governor Alf. M. Landon closed his campaign for the presidency tonight by urging the voters to go to the polls tomorrow and "vote as Americans for the future of America."
"The world needs a free America," the Republican nominee said in a radio address from the executive office of the White House, on Monday of Democracy. We do not fail."
Declaring that the voters will not go to the polls classified as workers, farmers, or recipients of relief but as "Americans," Landon in a simple 800-word speech, expressed his faith in the decision of the voters.
"Everywhere I have gone I have seen great numbers of men and women who have given both time and money in making clear, as they understand them, the issues that face the country," Landon said.
"To these men I want to pay tribute. There has been no campaign in many years in which they have been sensible of their responsibilities."

It is with great sorrow that must give the obtinary at the buria services of Mrs. Heinz's progeny My nerves are jangled with gries and my heart is filled with bereavement for after all, next to William Zupanc, I was closest to her in her hour of need. Bill, who is not only a ventilator and betraying politician, but quite a hand at the art of administering medical aid to less fortunate animals, he has been prosecuted that some person or persons should be prosecuted for their vicious treatment of Mrs. Heinz and that the tragedy was by no means her fault.
At any rate, Mrs. Heinz will not hear the patter of young feet upon the North Administration driveway as the poor little fellows were never so well cared for. His student body should cry with me for tomorrow Mrs. Heinz may die who knows, and besides Steven David is still without a namesake.
One of the A T O lads thought that he would pull a whizzer on the churches of Lawrence when registering by purporting to be an agnostic on the religion card. An officer from the Unitarian Church office with the following not written on the inside: "Agnostics welcome, rather desired, perhaps you would call me an agnostic. You will find no theistic flavor here." The note signed by the Rev. H. Lee Jones.

NUMBER 39
One pair of the campus round-abouters has asked me to issue a warning to the more demonstrative students of this school to hewear of the lonely road bordering the street, as they did at the moon or something a few nights ago and were held up by a stranger with a gun. If it was reported that the lad in question lost all that he had but the girl just laughed and laughed cause she saw the time that it was a water-gun.
Word comes that Prof. and Mrs. Hullinger watched the last football game through binoculars while seated cozy in his desk with their automobile Rumor has it that the professor likes to do things the hard way.
As yet no news has come as to the identity of the girl who appeared at the Miami Triad party in the green theater on Wednesday, and the Romeo's and Cassina's are still hounding me. I don't know why this column has to be used as a host and found department but it certainly is an organization from the student body for the sake of my own peace and tranquility.

Mt. Oread Played Part in Founding Of Lawrence and Early Kansas History
Later in the season, 29 settlers came to make ready for a permanent location. Their first camp was made and their first meal was cooked on the point of that same hill, which they named Mt. Ordea. The camp was almost on the exact spot it was by the first University building.
With peace and the end of the political bickering, Lawrence boomed. Settled by well-educated New Englanders, the long present desire for a college was satisfied in 1962, when she joined the State University in Lawrence. Amos W. Lawrence again came to the front with a gift of $15,000 and the first University building, later to be named North College, was built just west and north of the present site of Corin hall.
By Bob Richardson, e37
Observers on that hill might have seen the arrival of the second party, the building of a mushroom town of tents and thatched houses with a few scattered log cabins and spittle-block structures. They might have seen the first arguments between the pro-slavery and free-state settlers over title to the ground upon which the new town was being laid out.
A group of Yankees on their way to California in '49, passing up the Kaw valley, rested on the top of a large bill some 40 miles out of Westport. They marked the natural beauty and apparent fertility of the valley stretching away in three directions.
The landscaping under way jus*west of Corbin hall, which promises to transform the present rockcliff and weedpatch into a presentable park, brings to mind the part played in the history of Lawrence and the State of Kansas by that very hill-top.
Mt. Oread Meal
In the early summer of 54, a party looking for a townsite to be settled by freestate emigrants from Boston, were referred to the valley overshadowed by that hill for consideration. The recommendation was given to Dr. Charles Robinson, expedition, Dr. Charles Robinson, later to be governor of the state.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Charles Robinson whose fancy had been taken some five years before by the site, acquired the land atop Mt. Oread. His first house stood about 100 yards south of what is now 12th and Louisiana.
Name Settlement
Through the troubled years to '56, '57, and '58, the freestate and proslavery factions fought both in the pollss and in armed skirmishes. The war was rebuilt better than before. Strife continued. In 1863, Quantrill's men, a band of border guerillas, burned the town again and shot down some 183 citizens while their lookouts on top of the north bank struck the city with signs of a party coming to the aid of the stricken town.
The settlement after much discussion and rejection of the proposed names of Wakarua and New Boston was finally named Lawrence in honor of Amos' W. Lawrence, a Boston merchant who had been instrumental in financing the immigration to the town.
Secure University
Abandon North Hall
Today the Mortar Board fire sasket which takes a vital part in University ceremonies, marks the ite of the North College corner-ments, a symbol of the University's birth, a reminder of days hat were.
In 1916 the last classes moved out of the old building, it was abandoned and stood forlorn on the old hilltop, its stern lines shaking. The army tank knocked down the remaining walls of the partly rared landmark as part of a demonstration in the Student Liberty bond drive. Thus old North College gave its nickel bit to the state and the nation.
Bathtubs Once Controversial Topic In White House
Receiving its annual coat of paint the White House, America's most famous mansion, passed his 144th birthday as the home of the chief executive. Thirty-one presidents have occupied the mansion since its completion in John Adams' administration.
The original building, called the President's House, was made of buff sandstone. During the War of 1812, British soldiers failed in an attempt to burn the building, but the stones were charred so it wreaked in 1818, and burned. Shortly after that time it became universally known as the White House.
Some new improvement has been made during nearly every administration. William McKinley had the first telephone installed and Woodrow Wilson was the first to install a motion picture projector.
The first radio was purchased for the White House during Calvin Coidge's term. And in spite of Coolidge's many economy measures, the White House was given a new roof, and the executive offices which had been built by Theodore Roosevelt were enlarged.
Many strange things have happened in the executive mansion. The story goes that Mrs. John Adams once hanged the presidential laundry in what is now the famous East Room. The attendant was so horrified that son evidently did not agree upon the usefulness and convenience of bathrooms, for history says that Dolly had them installed and Andrew ordered them removed when he took office. They were not replaced until Millard Flint took office nearly twenty years later.
The most recent improvement was the installation of a complete electrically equipped kitchen and a storage space which workman made by tunneling under the front drive. This allowed Mr. Rosewell to direct of
The White House now awards the outcome of the election. The nature of the race is uncertain upon when the Roosevelt is the thirty-first President remains in the
House, or whether Landon will enter it as the thirty-second.
The Jeweled Bag
By Mrs. Robert Palmer
She had just stepped between the white blocks outlining the safety zone. Quite obviously she either did not hear or did not care to hear the repeated summons of the urgent street car conductor. With total unconcern, she reluctantly stepped the remaining distance and graphed the other's movements. Then the other she elapped a jeweled bag. Her matrially companion dropped the coins in the receiver.
A young girl seated near the entrance hastily arose and walked to the rear of the coach where she reached for a ceiling-swing support. From the length of the car she then approached the door at the soffron who had entered first.
Her long black dress of soft velvet clung to her aim, modish figure. A wide veil bedecked her flawless forehead. Walking to the bench and standing on the steps, moments of a puppet, she seemed unaware of her surroundings. Her eyes were focused on no definite object; like the sleeping eyes of a snake, they reflected off the floor, their almost colorless, forming clear pools around the dark pupils.
From across the aisle I contemplated her, in the hope that when she met my eyes, I would find some way to explain. But thought she might be thinking of heavens, in the next I was sure she had had many glimpses of hell; and then I knew she wasn't thinking at all—she had long been incapable of that strenuous activity. She existed for a while, and now she wowed 'a haul held securely in her lap.
The woman beside me shuddered. The mother across the way distracted the attention of her small daughter by pointing to something along the street. The matron, seeing these gestures, glanced with eyes of pity and concern at the boy on the firm hand and protectively grasped the arm nearer her.
My attention then fell on the long, slender, graceful arms encased in black silk gloves so flimy that they completely exposed her soft, fine-textured, motionless fingers. Each was perfectly shaped. Immediately there flashed to my mind the cold, white, stone model fingers used in a still-life art class. I have seen more life in the rested hands of a corpse and in a still life picture of the jeweled bag in her lap. There seemed to be sense perception only in the forefingers which presseaslessly on the bag.
The body was there but the soul was gone. The body still moved conventionally, but it did not care to. In the slugs and molluscs of a cheap wax museum there is far more expression of life than in her deathless-lifeless face. A face of chiseled death, dead but for the little jeweled bag of dope
One Day
At dawning the stillness reigns
In coolness, but warmed with touch!
Which lingers from passion's night,
And kindles the fire for day,
At twilight the shadoww rule
In softness, and touched with strife
That lingerings from trials of day,
And simmers in slumber's dreams.

Team of 1916, Captained by Lindsey, Will Be Guest at Homecoming Game
"Shades of 1916" "Hello, Mac and Remember how we took Nebraska?" and other such remarks will fill the air as the members of the team of 16 meet as the guests of the Homecoming Committee at the Homecoming game with Nebraska, Nov. 7.
PAGE SEVEN
two members of that team live in Lawrence. Others represent nine states, the District of Columbia, and New York. Three members of the 16 team live in Kansas.
Thirty-three of the team that boat Nebraska 7-3 before a Homecoming crowd in 1916 have homecoming ties to Nebraska. As is usually the case, the men now fill a variety group of occupations and live in scattered places throughout the United States and other American countries.
An unusual feature of this group of Homecoming guests lies in the fact that his '16 team was captured by Adrian Lindsay, when they beat the traditional Homecoming turn-up to see a Lindsay-coached team play Nebraska before a Homecoming crowd.
Lindsey Played in France
Just what differences these warriors of '16 will detect between the 36 edition of Lindsey football and the '16 model is purely a matter of speculation, but it is certain they will be many.
Lindsey Played in France
Lindsay, now head coach at the
St. Louis Lady Eagles, played back on the mythical AB-Missouri Valley team in 1916 and again in 1917. He later played halfback on the 89th division's team in France where he saw active service as a second lieutenant. He was chosen Ab-A basketball, and also was selected as second baseman on the AB-EEF baseball team
These heroes of two decades ago will be featured in the Homecoming parade and will take an active part in all the traditional festivities.

"After All," by Clarence Day, $ N X_{g} $ Alfred A. Knopf, 316 pager.
And after all they are quite clever — I mean the essays in this, his last publication, for Clarence Dier day later. The second addition to "Crow" Neek.
Unlike his father -- remember: "Life With Father" (1835), and "God and My Father" (1835), who saw only one side to every question. Clarax asks her handmaid, "He could slip into a view like an overcoat."
This is the kind of book that can only be announced, not reviewed or criticized, for it is just Clarence Day, more cutting in his humor, more sharp in his outlook than ever before. Washington, Pride and Prejudice, Fuzzy Cat, and "setting bens" are brilliantly and amusingly refashioned.
"Golden Wedding," by Ann Parrisi,
N.Y., Harper and Brothers, 943
pages.
"Dan Briggs came first" is the opening sentence of this story of a Boston family, and Dan Briggs comes first in all the events from the time he leaves boarding school until he and his wife celebrate their golden wedding. From poverty he rises to the top of society, where his life-sufficiency, his strength of character he is unable to transmit to his children for he has weakened them too much by lavishly financing them. At the anniversary, when all his children and grandchildren have assembled he realizes that his extravagant help has only hindered them from becoming the success he期望 him to achieve. Of the long table he remembers that he is the protective patriarchal head, he remembers his success, his pre-eminence and he is satisfied.
Little local color of the times, 1870-1920, is brought in. The discourse is on this day. On this day to day, year to year, until the golden wedding celebration.
