Freshmen Voluntarily Don Caps Tonight in Mass Meeting To Preserve Hill Traditons
Aroused by Duty and Desire to Keep Alive Old Customs, Frosh Arrange Program in Auditorium Promising to Be Full of Fire and Entertainment
NUMBER 12
By Kenneth Graeber
For the first time in the history of the University, freshmen to-night will don the traditional dinky cap of their own free will.
Aroused by the duty devolving to them by the action of the Men's Student Council last year in abolishing the "persuasion" at the hands—and paddles—of the "K" Men, freshmen will assemble in the Auditorium at 7:15 tonight, to carry out on their own initiative a cap-donning ceremony to demonstrate their loyalty to the old traditions.
man Council of the Y.M.C.A., but has spread generally to all first-year men. The tacit approval of the administration has been obtained, but the assembly will be entirely under the control of the freshmen themselves, Boll Brooks, c 40, will be in charge.

Ceremony to Be Repeated
The official cap-turning ceremony will be repeated at the Washburn-Kansas University football game, not at the Varsity-Freshman game as previously announced. All freshmen will sit together in a special section, and will have their seats reserved by all and there public perform the rite.
The only non-freshman to appear on the program will be Bill Townsley, president of the Ku Ku's campus camp organization, whose task it will be to instruct the gathering of tyros in the University yella and cheeses, and who will certainly outline Hill's transference for the benefit of those not familiar with them.
Four freshmen are scheduled to speak at the assembly. They will explain their stand on the question and discuss the honor they see in carrying on voluntarily this fine old tradition. They are Elijah Zeke Cole c:40, Frank Bunge, c:40, Richard McCann, and Jack Leedy of the same class.
Council Pleased With Sentiment John Phillips, president of the Men's Student Council, issued the following statement:
"The Student Council is highly pleased with the fine sentiment which the mass meeting of the freshmen indicates. If the meeting is conducted successfully as planned, it will demonstrate that the freshmen have accepted the sporting proposition of handling the task with serious assurance and like spirit and real loyalty."
All freshmen are urged to procure their caps sometime today if they have not already done so, at either Carl's, Ober's, or the Palace.

W. S.G.A. and Y.W.C.A. to Lead Procession Founded Years Ago
Women To Sponsor
Lantern Parade
Tomorrow night the University women will gather at Myers hall for the annual Lautern Parade and supper Twenty years ago the W.Y.C.A. and the Catholic school girls participated in the Lautern Parade as an opening event for freshman women, who were guided by only a few upperclass women. The custom then was for the older women to wear knee-high socks and candle stands around the campus, thus explaining the origin of the name. However, the Parade proved so popular that a supper was added, and the event has become an outstanding tradition both new and older women students.
At six 3 o'clock the participants will gather for an informal supper and social hour. Following that the group will form into lines for the procession, which will slowly wind its way down the hill to the home of Chancellor and Ruth Learned respectively, the presidents of Y.W.C.A. and W.S.G.A. this year, Martha Peterson and Ruth Learned respectively, will lead the procession. Each couple in the line will bear a lighted lantenr. Arriving on the lawn of the Chancellor's house, the women will serve cake. The girls will greet the group with a short address.
Because of the uniqueness and spectacular beauty of the event, the number attending it has increased from 125 in January to 400 in the supper, as reported by members of W.Y.C.A. and W.S.G.A., show every indication that this year's Latern event is going well.
A penalty of 50 cents per day for those who have failed to pay their semester fees goes into affect today for a period of five days. After next Wednesday, persons who fail to pay their semester fees will be brassaded from school.

Charges Roosevelt Administration With Selling Farmer "Down the River"
The Roosevelt administration, through its reciprocal trade program, has sold the United States' farmer "down the river," the Republican presidential nominee charged, in a slashing attack on the policies followed by the New Deal in negotiating trade agreements. "They have hurt the farmers," he asserted; "they have taken more of their income than him from getting as good prices as he otherwise would. This is a scandalous situation.
Landon Promises Market Protection For Farmers
Calls are coming in for student workers which the employment bureau has trouble filling because so many of the 621 applicants have not as yet turned in their class schedules, telephone numbers and other information needed to find them quickly, according to Mrs. Parker, office secretary of the employment bureau.
Employment Bureau Has Jobs But Applicants Fail To Leave Schedules
Following up his declaration at Des Moines for a free and independent agricultural policy based on "ownership of the land by the man who works the land," the Kansas governor said that he was not opposed to reciprocal trade agreements if properly negotiated nor would he favor a policy of monopoly in the land it is sound only in cases which cannot be met by a general tariff program.
*Reciprocation is valuable only when non-competing commodities are to be exchanged between two nations," he declared. "In some cases it may be difficult for a person to present administration been interested in using the principle in its proper manner it would have made agreements only with our customers, but when it (an agreement) is made with a competitor or the other is almost certain to lose."
Government Got Bad Deals "In too many of the present agreements we are the fellow who got the 'blind horse.'"

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 24. (UP)—Governor Alicia M. Landon climbed his appeal to the national agricultural belt tonight by pledging the Republican party "to protect the American market for the American farmer."

Reciprocity Has Place
"The Employment Bureau's best service both to students and employers is its continued operation through the daily, hourly work of everyone every day. All members of the student

body should "nik it up" both ways—to students who need work and who have not taught to get in touch with the buroeu, and with persons who have work that result be done by students or who should be done for the students for an earnest something.
"Many times we have told employer that it made no difference to us whether they took student workers through our bureau—just so they hired students who were about to change our policy on that, however, in view of several things which happen every fall. We think that we shall do more urging of hiring through the bureau." Mrs. Parker, office secretary, knows her boys, and can be relied on to send students who are capable of must have the work to stay in school."
"The answer to these problems." Mr. Ellsworth continued, "is co-operation from all sides. We know we will get what we need when everyone knows what is needed.
Co-operation Is Needed
Mr. Ellsworth concluded, "One plan which we seek to develop more is that of a definitely lined out schedule of odd jobs through the year by faculty members and other friends. Some persons report that they will have a minimum of five hours a week for lawn mowing, yard care, window washing, floor waxing, and the like. The Employment Bureau sends boys to work temporarily until the employer finds just the lad who suits him or her. After that, contact between the householder and the student worker is maintained directly without going through the bus system for a student and he has the equivalent of a regular job."

Sour Owl Makes First Flight Monday
The Sour Owl, remodeled and the Reconstructed by Drew Hamlin, well-known on The Shin columnist of last month, had a special appearance on the campus Monday.
The Owl, which has been masque-riding as the campus humor magazine for the past few years, will appear on the cover of this issue on to many features attempted by the bird for the first time. Articles and stories by Hill students and faculty members have been incorporated into beer and more interesting magazine.
According to Hamlin, the first issue contains more than 40 pages of cartoons, photographs, and the usual run and adaptation to the special stories and articles.
The Photographs of campus personalities, a few original cartoons and a special section devoted to the activities on the Kansas State College campus at Manhattan are some of the new offerings. You'll also consider a better interest in the magazine.

Though both the offensive and defensive play was still rather ragged, it showed considerable signs of improvement. Douglass and Staplen were particularly outstanding with the Napoleon was consistent in his ground-gaining attempts for the backfield.

Roosevelt to Carry Campaign to Midwest And New England
Hyde Park, N.Y., Sept. 24 —(UP)—President Roycewell will carry a vigorous re-election offensive into the strong industrial East, the Midwest and the Rocky Mountain states, it was learned tonight at the conclusion of a survey of the political situation with the Democratic high command.
For one and a half hours the chief executive sat at the conference table of his Hyde Park home while party leaders presented reports on the campaign outlook and he, in turn, set forth his ideas and product of the fight in the closeout weeks.
Mr. Rosevelt, it was undertook
pic to speak in Denver, Omaha, Chili-
sland; moreover he has tentatively
approved arrangements for personal
appearances in connection with non-pol-
ical activities in Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The dates for these visits have not been fixed, but at no time will he be away from Washington more than five days before the trip or contemplated trip to the Pacific coast.
Two dozen or more party chiefs attended at the invitation of the Presidency to Hyde Park house. All of them stated previous to the meeting that they knew each other.
"This is a chowder party," one of them laughingly remarked.

Varsity Tentative Lineun
varsity kendive named
Although he is not certain, A. Lundy
invested that he would start the
following imap: Saturday, ends, Hanna
and Seigle; tackles, Anderson and
Ward; guards, Moreland and Gearturf;
center, Lutton; and one of the following
combinations in the backfield: Wiencke,
Paronto, Shirk and Masonner; or Douglass,
Happgood, Glannangebe, and Repoile.
The first combinations of backs is composed of one veteran, Wieniec, and three sophomores, while the second four sophomore, Replogle, and three veterans.
The fresh lineup is still questionable. However, Bill Hargis, last night that he would start the following eleven: ends, Frazer and Hardin; tackles, Carlton and Rhule; guards, Davis and Schanker; center, Turner; and four of
Bill Hargiss
the following men for backs: Amerine,
Cadwalader, Thomas, Lanter, White,
German, Nourse, and Ebling.
Amerine suffered a foot injury in practice, and though he has been out for practice, it is doubtful that he will suffer any major injury. The Lanter are also suffering from injuries, and their starting is doubtful. The sudden departure of Thorn and Orange from the squad to the University of Pennsylvania has taken two capable sergeants.
Frosh Line Outweighed
The starting lineups indicate that the fresh will enter the game outweighed 10 pounds to the man. The yearling line concedes an advantage of 16 pounds to the man, while the respective backfielders are on more even terms. As a team, the freshman earns 179 pounds to the man, while the varisity scale in at 189. The freshman line figures out 181 pounds to e man, and the varisity 197. The sophomore backs, with Wiencke, average 154 pounds. The senior veterans, predominate, stand at 170, while the fresh weigh out 176 average per man.
Both coaches promise to substitute freely, so that no one need worry that the name will lack ten.
At half-time, a fresh and variety team, under the direction of Tommy McCall and Ed Khelps respectively, will take the field for a few educational plays. These teams will demonstrate the various major penalties, formations, etc.
The following men will officiate: Dr. L. E. Bice, Hays Teachers, reference; John Carmody, Midland, umpire; Armin Wren, Midland, field guide; Elmer Lusten, Yale field uclef.
The game begins at 2 o'clock, and all holders of activity tickets will be admitted. The regular admission is $1.
Two Hundred Licenses Issued to Students
Vee Tucker, chairman of the Traffic Committee, said today that approximately 200 license permits to operate automobiles on the campus have been issued. The Ruckus could substantiate the rumor that the Student Governing Council will have charge of firing or arresting violators of the traffic rules.
