Bemito Mussolini Claims Sovereignty Over All Ethiopia
Italians Cheer Dictator
As Conquered Territory
Is Officially Classified
As Foreign Empire
Rome. May 9—(UP)—Benito Mussolli tonight proclaimed to the world that Italy finally has an empire. '
"We have ambitions to create a new Roman empire," II Duce proclaimed at the formal annexation of Ethiopia, and he built the King Victor Emanuel is its emperor.
II Duce, the man of destiny, achieved the zenith of his power, as he gave his speech from the balcony of his palace. In the square below 350,000 people cheered him. His proclamation said that the city was elevated little Victor Emmanuel to the status of a King-Emperor, was heard by 38 million people throughout Italy.
"Ethiopia's destiny is sealed today, 1935," Mussolini cried in a hushed speech. "You have only a few moments before he drowned the grand clamor of the头颅 of Facitis. 'Italy will defend Ethiopia against anyone with the blood.' Museo."
II Duce proclaimed Italy's full sovereignty over all of Ethiopia, giving the newly conquered land the name Abyssinia. He sent a force to British Empire. The tussling of Haile Selassea from his throne brought long over-shadowed Victor Emmanuel out of obscurity and put him in the class of obeying and being VIII who also is a King-Emperor.
It took Mussolini only 11 minutes to tell his people and the world of the outcome of the African campaign. His words caused rejoicing not surpassed in the memory of the oldest living Italian.

Dogs Keep Busy on Library Visit
... Yo-Yo Essay Interviewed

Ditty Seat ... Jayhawker Editor Time . . .
Two dogs on the Campus, lasting for battle, engaged in a three-round fight in the basement of the library the other night. The halls and corridors of that hallowed edifice were filled with gutters, with shards of glass scattered while the people in the place witnessed the debacle with great animation and excitement. After a few minutes of fang snapping, and after both had made a couple of passes at each other, the two canines were seized by onlookers and were transported to the barn where they knew the participants in the fray said that one of the pups was a member of the Campus four hundred, while the other had been born at the animal house. The contention was the result of a sambuing given the animal house pooch by the lorraine wearing "quad-
A most for news is a necessity according to the professors who deal out essentials of journalism. A reporter for the Kansan was down in the mid-town district. The reporter, Filipino boy who carried, emblazoned across his chest, a shield, that proclaimed him 1936 Yo-Yo champion. The future journalist sensed news written on that bit of traveling and approached the reporter and awarded that you are the Yo-Yo champion."
Something unintelligible was answered, so the reporter tried a new attack. "Is it very hard to learn to spit one of those things as you do?"
The Yo-Yo kept spinning, and the questioned youth turned and said something else, also not understood by the interviewer.
"Skip it." uld the disgrudged student. The Yo-Yo's kept up their work of climbing the strings.
Strange places are sought by University students to hang their girls' pictures, but Russ Frain, freshman track coach at the university, man has the most unique position as yet uncovered by any of the correspondents to this column. Russ has carefully located his girl's likeness immediately before she leaves for college; he goes to bed the last thing he sees in

Ninth Forum To Have Jardine As Lecturer
Farm Situation May Be Discussed By Secretary Under Coolidge; Will Be Tuesday Night
Agricultural theory, which may form a major part of the farm plank of the Republican party platform this year will be discussed here this week by William M. Jardin, president of Wichita State University, United States secretary of agriculture.
The forum, which is the ninth and last of the series of student forums informing students about the Student Council, will be held in the Memorial Union ballroom at 8:15 Tuesday.
Onnoses Equalization Fee
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, 3UNDAY, MAY 10, 1936
Long an opponent of the equalization fee and similar farm aid programs, Jardine, as secretary under the Coulodge administration, fought the proposed McNary-Haugen bill, and in doing clashed with the group headed by Henry A. Wallace, now secretary of agriculture.
He has remained silent throughout the present administration, refusing interviews on the subject of the farm pro-
gram, and has criticized the farm situation, which may be discussed publicly for the first time Tuesday evening, will be used as a groundwork in the formation of the agricultural party at its convention next month.
Jardine's contention at that time was that farm prices were high enough, but that land values had been inflated by post-war speculation. He advocated enrichment of agriculture through diversified farming and better schools. He also urged the government to open agricultural marketing, similar to that later adopted in the Farm Board.
A "dirt farmer" most of his life, Jardine has achieved a wide fame as an agronomist, and has carried his experience into the various official positions which he has held. Born on a ranch in Idaho, he received a B.S. degree in agriculture from the Agricultural College of Utah, and earned degrees from Campbell College, the Agricultural College of Utah, and Laffayette College, Easton, Pa.
In 1918, after serving for five years as dean of agriculture at Kansas State College, he was appointed president of that institution. In 1925 he was selected by President Coolidge as secretary of agriculture, and served in that capacity until 1925. He later was appointed minister of education, and was presided over the president of Wichita University.
He has traveled extensively, and has written numerous papers on the subject of agriculture.

Dignity of Classroom Is Upset As Musicians Swarm Over Campus
NUMBER 152
A series of weird, jungle-like sounds filtered through the door. The professor looked up, started—even the class awakened. The sounds continued–primitive, walling. To the professor, who had spent much time in Travannah, he noticed a character. . . Cobras twisting litlely in the beating sun to the rhythm of a charmer's quack (Hindu term for flute). His dreams were dispelled suddenly, however, when just a faint semblance of music filled the room. He growled and strangled for the door.
Several chirms from one of the visiting bands took their flutes from their lips, stood there gaping. Then, without a word being spoken, they moved away. Perhaps it was the dangerous professor, but who can say?
They were everywhere, these band youngsters. One had to be careful to see that he was stepping on solid earth, and not on several small bandsters. Things, to be trite, had come to a pretty pass. . .
But they played well, so they may consider themselves forgiven.

Stouffer on Inspection Trip
The model was made in 56 different pieces. The slides of the real specimen were projected upon some hundred feet of flawless white pine and the patterns traced there to the thousandth of an inch. After the patterns had been cut they were glued together in a manner that allowed the smooth, smoothed, and painted in contrasting colors, in order that demonstrations might be clearer.

The wooden model of the brain stem, which was fashioned from a thousand different cross sections of a real specimen, is made entirely of white pine and measures about 4 feet long and 3 feet in diameter. It lays on its stand like a small cement mixer or skull of some prehistorical monster. The surface structure is so constructed that it allows the complex mass of interwoven fibers and nerve tracts like the viscera of a car engine.

used in teaching the structure of th nervous system.
Model Is Unique
Dr. H. C. Tracy said that the mode is unique. Only once before has a three dimension model been attempted a brain stem of an infant, constructed from wax was fashioned by Dr. Sabih of Johns Honkins.
The cooperation of the CSEP made possible the completion of the mode in a comparatively short space of time Unnecessary delays were eliminated and a schedule of work was furnished by the staff, Fletcher, instructor in anatomy who supervised and did much of the actual work; Woodrow Campion
*m'uncl, CSEP student, who did muec of the routine work; Paul Pennington custodian and technician of the anatomy department; and Miss Olae Seser-Stern, for the department, drew the plans and painted the finished model.
There are five other CSEP projects under way at the present time in the anatomy department. The one attracting much attention at present is being conducted by John Pierce, c38, in color blindness. Correspondents are being directed to the division of color blindness among students in the different schools. Over 2500 students have been tested since the project was started.
