New Deal Saved Youths Says F.D.R. In Kansas City
Roosevelt Speaks Before 35,000 in New Auditorium Last Night; K. U. Group Demonstrates
By Dale O'Brien, c37
(Associate Editor, University Daily Kansas)
Kansas City, Mo. Oct. 13—(Special to the
Kanada)—President Franklin D. Roosevelt last night before an overflow crowd in Kansas City's new municipal auditorium; said:
He spoke before 35,000 persons who filled the city's new auditorium to capacity and to thousands more outside he brought his campaign for re-election. He also sponsored votes for voters in the home state of his Republican opponent, Gov. Ail M. Landon
Prominent in the crowd was the contingent of young Kansas Democrats, mostly from Lawrence and Topeka, whose chanted Rock Chalk yell resumed sonorously through the great hall. The group, composing itself prominently, bore a banner heralding "Rosewell will carry Kansas."
"The civilian conservation corps," he said, "was the administration's first move toward economic and social rehabilitation."
"Our fight—yours and mine—is to keep democracy safe by keeping it moving forward."
Covering almost the entire field of issues in the present campaign, the President stressed the conservation of youth and called for a joint effort to accomplish the New Deal.
"in such a fight it is an unhappy place to be on the sidelines; to the young people of America I say, join with us and preserve democracy in America."
He was accorded a tremendous ovation as he entered the magnificent new audiotour of the Democrat-controlled city
The President left at 6:20 for St Louis.

Word comes that it will be useless for any of the lads of the campus to ask for dates with any of the Theta pledges as they are camped for quite a spell in advance.

Navin Field, Detroit, Oct. 13, (UP)—Governor A. M. Landon the president President Roosevelt tonight to say whether the New Deal proposed to protect our rights and foster American initiative, energy and frugality.
The Republican presidential nominee shouted to a crowd of probably 15,000 during the 43-degree blasts of this vast baseball stadium, that the Roosevelt administration had taken the "first step" towards destruction of demons in the city of a permanent dictatorial form of government in the United States.
Landon Challenges Roosevelt in Talk To 15,000 People
"Such a tendency," he said, "must be endured and the nation must protect its heritage of free enterprise and innovation as opposed to national planning."
The Governor held his hands high over his head in response to the cheer of the crowd.
He pledged himself to repeal all acts giving "autocratic power to the president," praised the constitution as a charter that has served the nation well, and warned the American people that "We cannot ignore the warning in many countries where the charter of freedom is no more, we must not out of regard for any man or men, blind or armed for forces that are lose in the world."

Huxman's Talk To Be Broadcast
Mr. Huxman's talk will be broadcast over WHEN from 6:15 to 7:15, according to Joan Newbill, chairman of the University Young Democrats.
Walter Huxman, Democratic candidate for governor, will be in Lawrence tomorrow evening to speak at a dinner at the Eldridge hotel at 6 o'clock.
Reservations for the dinner may be made by calling Fitzgerald a Democratic headquarters downtown
After the dinner, Mr. Huxman will speak at an open meeting at 8 o'clock in the Jayhawk theater.
During the past few days the campus has been seething with charges and counter-charges concerning school spirit and the athletic situation of the University. To clarify the issues that have confused and flagrantly misconstrued, we are restating the policy upon which we have been acting.
On October 6, 1936, the director of athletics, Dr. F. C. Allen, made a statement to the effect that there was no school spirit on the campus. The Kansas published an editorial rebuttal to this statement wherein it was suggested that there was nothing here for the students to get excited over and cheer for. The Kansas meant that the type of football play used here was so dull and uninteresting that it had tended to lessen the spirit of the student body.
The Fire Will Burn
Seeking a remedy for this dormant school spirit, the Kansan suggested that if the coaches would give us a more open game, involving not only forward passing but deceptive plays, spinners, reverses, laterals and the like, this would arouse the interest of the student body which would in turn raise school spirit. The Kansan has contended all along that the school spirit was here—dormant and only needing something to start it off.
In following the policy established during the past week or so the Kansan has not tried to undermine the morale and
As his main point in his talk on traditions, Dr. P. C. Allen outed ways the university has been involved in school athletics. He suggested that the "K" club be in charge of the stadium games.
The Kansan feels that the majority of students favor the policy nursed.
In last night's resolution, the club stated. "In view of the former resolution made as a result of the 'funs' raised by the club," it wrote. The "k" club has passed a further resolution that it will not participate as a disciplinary body in Friday's nighttime parade. However, the "k" club will be allowed to play at a group of students in the parade."
The campaign has not been promoted by any fraternity or other groups who might have grievances against the coaching staff because their "favorite sons" have not been given the proper opportunity. In no way has the policy been influenced by outside organizations.
The Kansan is out to get no man's job.
In its resolution of last year, which came as a climax to much opposition to "K" club paddling, the club announced: It be known that the "K" club wishes to co-operate and help in the betterment of traditions, but has given the enforcement of such traditions back to the Men's Student Council."
and surroundings before, during, and
The promotion of school spirit is the dominant force of this campaign. In line with this policy the Kansan will support wholeheartedly the coming "Night Shirt Parade," no matter what the athletic situation may be.
It is rather fuitile to attempt to arouse student attendance for such an event by slushy words appealing to them to display their loyalty. It has been shown in the past that organizations such as the old "flying squadron" did little or no good. The night shirt parade is a tradition and should receive the support of the student body as such.
In its second regular meeting of the year last night, the "K" club decided that, in view of past happenings, it would hold a formal forcement at the nightshirt parade.
In the news columns today there is a statement of Head Coach "Ad" Lindsey wherein he says that he is in favor of the open football game. This statement is in line with the Kansan's contention that the open game will provide the spark necessary to kindle the smoldering school spirit into a roaring confaguration.
The fire will spread at Friday's night shirt parade.
'K' Club Decides Against Appearing In Body To Enforce Nightshirt Parade
One of the oldest and most firmly entrenched traditions of the University will be re-encrusted Friday night when nearly 2,000 Jawkayers, attained in ancient ancesting garments and hairy tops, will invade the business district in executing the 34th nightly shirt parade on the acre of the Kansas-Oklahoma football stadium.

Mr. Lindsey further stated, "I have always played as open a game as my material warranted, often sacrificing weight for speed.

football game, Dr. "Phog" Allen offered the following information concerning the experience of the Kansas football players
when you stop to think, Kansas has more green material than is realized. Many men who are letter men from last year were reserve material, and this year when it came for them to take regular positions on the team they have had to adjust themselves to those positions. Men who bowed up well in offense last yearave their defensive game to improve.
"When the boys went into that game they were jittery and before they had begun to settle down, Iowa State with the superior pungent of Poole, the wind to their advantage, and a few deceptive tricks on the boys. After that first quarter the Kansas men began to get lined out and played good football.
Kansas has the smallest population of any state in the Big Six Conference, and it is the only state to have two colleges. I am not saying nothing of the 10 other colleges in the state which draw students. I am not offering this as an alibi; these are
90 Per Cent Work
"Ninety per cent of the football players at Kanaas are working boys. The requirements for them to be eligible for a football game are that they must be at least 27 hours the two preceding semesters and maintain a C average in their studies. That means that a player must work, carry 12 hours a week, practice on the field, subject and still maintain a C average.
“His alternative is to carry fifteen hours a semester, manage his outside work and go out for football. From a survey taken only a few years ago only 32 per cent of the entire student body could make the requirements for varsity athletics. These are some of the reasons why it is important consideration when watching the University of Kansas football team perform on the field.”
