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 level of the White House, for democracy. We dare not fail."
"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.
Declaring that the voters will not go to the polls classified as workers, farmers, or recipients of relief but as "Americans," London in a simple, 800-word speech, expressed his faith in the decision of the voters.
"To these men I want to pay tribute. There has been no campaign in many years in which they have been capable of their responsibilities."

It is with great sorrow that I must give the obituary at the burial services of Mrs. Heine's progeny. My nerves are jangled with grief and my heart is filled with witherecause 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, has been involved that some person or persons should be prosecuted for their vicious treatment of Mrs. Heine and that the tragedy was by no means her fault.
At any rate, Mrs. Heinz will
hear the patter of young feet upon

One of the A T O lads though that he would pull a whizzer on the churches of Lawrence when registering by purporting to be an agnostic on the religion card. A few weeks ago I went 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 favor here." The note was signed by the Rev. H. Lest
One pair of the campus roundabouters has asked me to issue a warning to the more demonstrative students of this school to beWARE of their own safety city. It seems they were looking at the moon or something a few nights ago and were up by a stranger with a gun. It was reported that the lad in question lost all that he had but the girl just laughed and laughed "fear she was the time that it was a water-gun."

Mt. Oread Played Part in Founding Of Lawrence and Early Kansas History
By Bob Richardson, c'37
The landscaping under way just west of Corbin hall, which promises to transform the present rockpipe 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 hilltop.
A group of Yankees on their way to California in '49, passing up the Kaw valley, rested on the top of a large hill some 40 miles out of Westport. They marked the natural beauty and apparent fertility of the valley stretching away in three directions.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
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 town was made by a member of the 48th District, Dr. Charles Robinson to governor the state.
Mt. Oread Meal
Later in the season, 29 settler 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. The camp building was the camp to be occupied by the first University building.
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 split-block structures. They might have seen the first argument of the pro-slavery and free-state settlers over title to the ground upon which the new town was being laid out.
Charles Robinson whose fancy had been taken some five years before by the site, acquired the land atop M. Oread. His first house stood about 100 yards south of what is now 12th and Louisiana.
Name Settlecat
With peace and the end of the political bickering, Lawrence boomed. Settled by well-educated New Englanders, the long present desire for a college in Mt. Oreau rests on the location of 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 U.S.A., was erected at the crest of Mt. Oread just west and north of the present site of Corbin hall.
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.
For six years the entire school
Through the troubled years of '56, '57, and '58, the fratestate and proslavery factions fought both in the polls and in armed skirmishes. "Sheriff John must 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 took point. Police searched for any signs of a party coming to the aid of the stricten town.
Secure University
Abandon North Hall
When in 1916 the last classes moved out of the old building, it was abandoned and stood forlorn on the old hilltop, its stern lines visible for miles about. In 1919 an army tank knocked down the remaining walls of the partly razed landmark as part of a demonstration in the Student Bond drive. Thus old North College gave its last patriotic bit to the state and the nation.
Today the Mortar Board fire basket which takes a vital part in University ceremonies, marks the site of the North College cornerstone. It is a symbol of the UAlbany campus, a reminder of days that were.
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 and scorched, leaving a white slate. Shortly after that time it became universally known as the White House.
Some new improvement has been made during nearly every administration. William McKimley 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 Coolidge'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 hung the presidential laundry in what is now the White House. Matson and Andrew Jackson evidenced 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 was gone. They were replaced until Millard Fillmore 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 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. This work was done under the direction of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
The White House now awaits the outcome of the election. The nature of its next improvement may depend upon whether Roosevelt as the thirty-first President or whether Landon will enter it as the thirty-second.
The Jeweled Bag
By Mrs. Robert Palmer All aboard! All aboard!
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, and apparently mechanically, she reluctantly stepped away, remaining disarmed as the grapple with her right hand. In the other she clasped a jeweled bag. Her matrinity companion dropped the coins in the receiver.
PAGE SEVEN
A young girl seated near the entrance hantily arose and walked to the rear of the coach where she reached for a ceiling-swing support. From the left, she led everyone else, at the woman who had entered first.
Her long black dress of soft velvet clung to her slim, mediish figure. A wide veil bedecked her flawless forehead. Walking to the bench and seating herself stiffly with the movements 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 were open but blank. The whites were 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 life lurking there. She might be thinking of heaven, 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 kind of thought, and only because of her little jewel bag held securely in her lan.
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 at her. She had a charge, reached out a firm hand and protectively grasped the arm near her.
My attention taken on fell the long, slender, graceful arms encased in black silk gloves so filmy 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 skin of her than in her body, packed heavily over the bag in her lap. There seemed to be sense perception only in the forefingers which pressed ceaselessly 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 chiselled death, dead but for the little jeweled bag of dope.
One Day
At dawning the stillness reigns
In coolness, but touched with warmth
Which lingers from passion's night,
And kindles the fire for day.
At twilight the shadows rule
In softness, but touched with strife
That lingers from trials of day,
And simmers in slumber's dreams.

Team of 1916, Captained by Lindsey Will Be Guest at Homecoming Game
By Morris Thompson, c'unel.
"Shades of 1918" "Hello Mac and 'Thereem here 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."
Thirty-three members of that team that beat Nebraska 7-3 before a Homecoming crowd in 1916 have been invited to attend this year's Homecoming tussle with Nebraska. As is usually the case, the men now fill a varied group of occupations, and live in scattered places throughout the United States and other American countries.
Lindsey Played in France
Two members of that team live in Lawrence. Others represent nine states, the District of Columbia, and Peru, South America. Nine members of the team are involved in a unique feature of this group of Homecoming guests lies in the fact that '16 team was captained by Adrian Lindsey, when they beat the traditional Homecoming rivals, 7-5. The Lindsey-coached team play Nebraska before a Homecoming crowd.
Lindsey Played in France
Lindsey, now head coach at the University, was named backhacking All-Missouri Valley team in 1966 and again in 1971. He later played halfback on the 80th division's team in France where he saw active service as a second lieutenant. He was chosen as EF. halfback, and soon selected baseman on the All-AEF. baseball team.
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 certainly they will be many.
These heroes of two decades ago will be featured in the Homecoming parade and will take an active part in all the traditional festivities. Those who have Cain invited are Ernest C. Arnold, e'1u; Elizabeth J. Bradley, e'1y; Blue Mountain, poor commissioner; Willard A. "Dick" Burton, e'16, Emporia, construction superintendent; George "Patsy" Clark assistant coach, Detroit, coach of the Detroit Lyons; John C. c'17, Merriam; Harry T. c'18, Merriam; John B.

**After All** by *Clarence Day*. N.Y. **Alfred A. Knopf**, 316 pages. And after all they are quite close. I mean the essays in this later paper laid out in *The Day Died* December "After All" is a revision and addition to "Crow's Nest." Unlike his father — remember "Life With Father" (1923), and "God and My Father" (1935), who saw only one side to every question, I see a hundred slider. "He could slip on a point of view like an overtower."
"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 outburst," Prometheus, Far-noll, Owl and the Pursuit Cat, and "setting bens" are brilliantly and amusingly refashioned.
**voiden Wedding,** by Ann Parrisi,
N.Y. Harper and Brothers, 343
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 poetry he rises to position of position of parent for their daughter's sufficiency, his strength of character he is unable to transmit to his children for he has weakened them too much by lavish financing them. At the anniversary, when all his children and grandchildren have assembled he realizes that his extra-travagant help has only hindered them from becoming the success they have become. They remember how their parents remember that he is the protective patricial 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 factual, aristatic, continuing from the 19th century until the golden wedding celebration.
