'Self Government Or a Swivel Chair Administration?'
—LANDON
Abbas Landon train en route to Los Angeles, Seattle, 19-（UP）-Gov. Ali M. Landon summoned the voters of the great South tonight to defeat "attacks from within" against the "Americaian way of government."
Pressing the Republican offensive against the New Deal as he campaigned toward the scene of Tuesday night's major address at Los Angeles, the G.O.P. presidential nominee reviewed his earlier proposal for the solution of the farm and trade problems for the industry of the farmers, laborers and industries.
He spoke to colorful western crowns in New Mexico. Ten gallon hats waved in a salute and cowboy cries pierced the roar of cheers that greeted him.
"As the campaign progresses," Governor Landon declared in a 25-minute address at Albanyquerque, "it is becoming increasingly clear that a clash of ideas of government is a clash of ideas of government."
"One idea that politicians know best what is good for you and should run your lives out here in New Mexico from a swivel chair in Washington. The other is that you are still capable of self-government.
"Once I am elected President, the American idea of constitutional government of personal freedom will be precarious. We must defend any attack on our freedom that comes from within that is an real threat to us, without during the World War."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1836
It seems a couple of girls who were whoooping it up in one of Dean Meaghan's rooming houses the other night, and she'd been trying to Hillade. When the delivery bye came, he handed them a small container of pineapple sherbet. According to one of the houses in question, "it would have all it right, but it just wouldn't mix."
The girls wish that they could spend the rest of the school year at home because their mothers aren't always erasing their necks around doorways, keeping an ever-watchful eye at the keyhole, or in other ways protecting them from prying eyes. Girl girl put it to "Now, when mother was a girl, she did well her by herself. She had a good reputation and there得 got a good husband. We can't figure out why the house-mothers think they have to be so watchful, as most of them shouldn't know anything about the pitfalls of masculine company, not only that they're not safe but that bad to be watched themselves when they were little girls."
On the subject of rooming houses, some of the lassies of the campus are complaining of late that the rules governing girls' rooming houses are a pain in the neck. (Figuratively to the girls but literally to the housemothers.)
On the other hand there are some nice house-mothers. They even regret having to abide with the rules by run, throw the milk out and the gutter. One girl said that her house-mother was not big but she still was treated like a dog and since she couldn't sit on the porch with her children she were forced to lean up against trees.
The students at the University of Oklahoma either have a perceived sense of humor or else they don't read the "My Hat, James" column written by Fred Coombs in the Oklahoma Daily. At least he is still holding down that column and I'd get fired after two weeks of slowing quotation from his column (Hope you don't mind playing stoope Fred);
"I make a lot of money making comments like that. Not many friends, but a lot of money."
"Sometimes I mention my own name in my column. (See issue of Oct. 7). It's a good policy. Gets my name before the public."
"Another thing I like to do is assume intimacy with my readers. I seems to plank a mnemonic chord it generates that I parloe the anatomical expression."
I had to look up the word viscera but I wonder if Mr. Coombs meant the

Kansan Has Had To Fight For Right To Maintain Its Freedom
By Bob Richardson, c'37
The recent controversy in which the Karaan has taken so important a part is not the first in which the publication has been engaged nor was the Board informed of this.
Back in the spring of 1914 when the burning issues were the tugge and thereby to move the Kansas-Missouri game back to Kansas City, *V. Kansan* dithered sitter up the local police over allowing the posting of handbills, in isolation of a city ordinance on trees adjoining the campus.
Lo and behold when the investigation got under way the "squirrel printers" (whether this referred to the fact that the bills appeared high up on the trees or whether it alluded to nuts no one knew about) would be taken into account by certain members of the student council.
Three councilmen, who refused to honor subpositions in connection with the prosecution of the case, were dragged from their beds by the local 'coppers' and marched away to jail. The students were paying fines and standing the cost of removing the offending posters, the student representatives were released.
Council Got Peeved
Through the whole proceeding, the Kansan gave the story full prominence and was not always especially favorable toward the Council. The Council, much peeved, passed a resolution condemning the stand of the Kansar editors and declared since the Kansar under council jurisdiction was therefore under council jurisdiction.
Acting on this assumption, they declared the position of editor-in-chief open and announced that they would select a successor to the incumbent
John C. Madden, the offending editor, now a New York advertising executive, refused to vacate his chair and continued in the editorial columns to polite him at the student government organization, accusing it of holding "star chamber sessions" and usurping authority not belonging to it.
Editor Refused to Resign
The matter became a most important issue on the campus and despite much adverse criticism, Kansan editors stuck by their guns.
Long series of opinions from students and faculty printed at the time seems to show that most students were behind the Kansan. The 8 o'clock publication organization, sent in a campus opinion declaring that it had just as much right to dabble in the Kansan's affairs as did the Student Council and declared the editor-in-chief reinstated on which he had never relished.
This statement backed by the support of the student body ended the affair and the Kansan established definitely the precedent of determining what it believed right in spite of pressure from outside groups.
Frosh Beauties
Will Be Presented
In Sour Owl
The second edition of the Sour Owl will be distributed tomorrow. Among other features, this month will be the freshman beauty content,
The CSEP will be rated as a lead article and a discussion of its value in and around the University in helping the students will be featured.
A new satisfit will be used this month. This new effect is attained by photographing clay models. The Sour Owl staff of artists made figures in clay and painted them into models to the photographers in the hope of attaining new attitudes and effects.
The feature article expected to gain the attention of the entire women student body is the one entitled "How Do You Like Your Women?" This article will be answered by the big men or the campus.
According to latest returns, the five leaders in the freshman beauty content as announced at the varsity on Saturday are still at the top of the list. These are Jana Johnson, Vira McDowell and Janice Johnson, Dennis Johnson, and Mary Fitzgerald.

All Five Parties Under Discussion In Forum Debate
Approximately 300 students heart, the representatives of free different parties present their discussions of the issue in a Memorial Union ballroom. Night in the Memorial Union ballroom.
William Zupanzer, c37, representing the Republican party was the first to argue that the president out that the present political situation might be claused into the following two types: that of "blinding barrages," and the "our leader is above criticism."
"I cabled Moscow for speech number 127 but all I received was a red tie." Lee Born supporter of the Communist party remarked upon taking part in a campaign for a communist organization was a legalized political party and intended to carry on its campaigns in a peaceful manner being violently opposed to war of any kind. "We are pledged to fight that Communism which has been turned into a state."
Norton Knight, representing the Farmer-Labor party, discussed the policies of the farm labor legislation. "The world is becoming a battlefield," he said. Communism on the one hand and Fascist mom on the other", pointed out Martin Maloney, speaker for the Democratic party. "I can scarcely believe that any large group of people in the United States are willing to take either of them."
The Socialist party was represented by John Pierce, who also wore a ree tie but who had no explanation as to where he obtained it. Pierce pointed out that the young Chion of Bichon and also that the failure of "old deal" and "new deal" even during the working stage of capitalism, had two thirds of a million unemployed people, because would give employment to an eliminate artificial scarcity.

Students Armed With Fly Swatters Could Combat Flies If Each Killed $ 5 \frac {1}{2} $ Daily
By Homer E. Jacobus, e'39
19. You instructor is 6 feet tall.
4,000 students of the University carried fly-swatters with them as they do purves and pens, and if each one killed $5\frac{1}{2}$ flies daily throughout the school year, they would affect the work possible for the same number of female flies to carry out the task. Paint it yourself. A single female fly lays on about 1,000 eggs in a lifetime. Four thousand female flies laying 1,000 eggs apiece would produce 4,000,000 flies. If 22,000 flies were killed during for 180 days, approximately 4,000,000 flies would "hit the dust" but in reality these figures misrepresent, for the life of an adult, just months and we find we are not nearly so strong as our little winged competitors.
At the present time, flies are so numerous in the schoolrooms that they are often called "mummers" seeking shelter in warm places for the winter months, for a few survive in that manner, but the majority of flies do not seek shelter. In the current state—at least not in this climate
The comment housefly is one of 40.00-
species known, but entomologists believe that eight or ten times that many really exist. The housefly represents the family Miacidae, which includes most familiar flies about houses and stables.
If conditions are favorable, the cycle from egg to fly is from 10 to 12 days. Eggs laid on horse-mamure or decaying matter match within six to eight hours. The larvae are legless, soft, and crustate, and are known commonly as "maggots." After four or five days of existence, their skins become brown
Scholarship at the University last year showed a definite increase over that of the year before. This information was based on the annual scholarship re-entry data for the fall 2016 semester.
Nu Sigma Nu moved from fifth to second place in professional society group. In the musical organizations relative positions remained the same. The three leading places in other organizations are in the same order as last year, but the Men's Studios Council is in fourth place was sixth last year.
Rise in Grade Point Averages Proves That Students Are Smarter—Maybe
Among the national sororities, Alpha Omicron Pi, last year's eight place group, moved to the lead. It was followed by Sigma Kappa, which was ranked second by Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma, in fourth place this year, was tenth last year.
Triangle retains its lead above the national fraternities, but Sigma Alpha Mu, in 15th place last year, moved into second place.
In the honorary fraternity and sorority group, Pih Beta Kappa moves from third place to first; Omicron Nu from 13th to second, and Order of the Clof (law) from seventh to third, dialoging Pi Mu Epsilon.
Rankings in the sports group are much the same as in past years.
General Standings
won the honorary fraternities and sororites retained their leading position in the general classification of students, the CSPEI students moved from third to second place, and with an increased rating. Their standings, it is believed, will continue to rise in our senior security women above security women, last year's second grade hold-*

But as we are bothered with flies, as they, too, have their own troubles. They reach their largest numbers in North America from July to September, but die rapidly toward the end of the season from cold, from fatal fungal diseases, or because they are infested with red-dish miles which suck their juices.
and hard, making a case in which the true pupa forms, and from which the perfected fly emerges five or six days later. Because this total life cycle spans only about 10 days, it is possible in warm seasons of flies to exist in one season.
Wilson Elected Frosh Law President
If 4,000 students should start carrying fly-swaters, the housefly might possibly have a few additional worries.
