JAYHAWKERS FACE CRUCIAL GAME IN NORMAN
Independents Win Freshman Election By Large Majority
Dorothy Willetts and Margaret Alberty Become New Council Members
Two independent candidates won the freshman women's election yesterday with overwhelming majorities, although each had six opponents. Dorothy Jane Willett was elected vice president, and Margaret Jane Albery won the race for secretary. The successful candidates were John McCain and the Women's Self. Governing Association and will have a vote on the council.
Both women attained a majority or the first count of the ballots. Under the proportional representation system used, if no one candidate has a majority of the votes cast on the first count the one with the lowest number of votes is eliminated and the second choice is retained unless necessary in yesterday's election.
The number of votes cast was small, totaling only 149. Miss Willetts received 87 votes, and Miss Albert 88. Miss Tully received more than 15 votes apiece.
Commenting on the freshman election, Julia Jencks, president of the Women's Self Governing Association said, "There are two line, outstanding candidates. One will be them as members of the W.S.G.A. Council. We know that they will prove able representations of the freshman class. In view of the fact that only a small number of the freshmen voted, we hops that the election next spring would be able to see that the independents have realized the extent of their power."

How About Overshoes With the

... What People Do. What

Forums. Let Us Say Who.
An alumna left with us an unkind word after the game Saturday. He stepped in a pool of water and mud while leaving the stadium, and requested that something was said about the condition of the walks leading to the arena
The following human interest story was submitted to us by a big shot writer. Call it what you please, but I prefer interpretation of the Kessler concert.
Kreisler had his audience enchanted you could have heard a pin drop. One young fellow was so over come by the magic of the romantic pieces that he forgot himself and affectionately put his arm around the fellon next to him
A group of amateur journalists kept their neighbors amused by suggesting possible headlines for the story of the concert. The suggestions ranged from "Fritz Fiddles Furiously to Full House" to Cups Up Out Before Capacity Crowd."
When the featured artist seemed to be a bit show in appearing, one of the bright boys suggested that he probably broke his G string.

Looking around furtively to see if anyone was watching her, one coed slipped off her shoe and wigged her toe through a hole in her stocking . . . and the other were changed in the auditorium chandelier . . .

Tribesmen Defeat Italians
Addis, Adaba. Oct. 31. (IDP)—Wid Danilij tribesmen have inflicted severe defeat on Italian columns in the torrid desert region near Nussa Ali, the government spokesman announced tonight. The Danilij were led by warriors of the Assai Mara triad, and fell upon them at night in two victorious battles.
Fifteen Italian soldiers were killed in the first fight when the Danajis attacked an Italian supply train near Mussa Alli.
The following night the Dainnii who had been armed by Emperor who had been captured in column which included infantry, artillery, and tanks, and killed many
Murphy Denies Charges Of Political Affiliation
Beta President Denounce Handbill's Statements as Unfair
In a statement to the Kansan late last night, Franklin Martin, president of Beta Theta Pi, vigorously attacked the charges contained in a Freshman Pachacamac publication appearing on the campus yesterday morning.
Explainting that the Beta fraternity as a group was not interested in politics. Murphy stated emphatically that the charges were absolutely untrue and constituted an unfair attack upon his fraternity.
The statements referred to by Murphy were contained in a handball distributed on the campus entitled "The Freshman Machine," which included a special exception to the charge that the first meeting of the freshman independent organization was held in the Beta house and insinuation that the "Beta Machine" was financing their campaign.
In explaining his reasons for presenting the statement, Murphy complained that in the past it has been the policy of the American academy to gleave out the Beta fraternity as a target for derogatory criticism, and emphasized that it is time such practices cease.
Franklin Murphy,
Pres., Beta Theta PI
"As president of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, I wish to state unequivocally that the unfair attack contained in the handball appearing on the campus yesterday was not a man political meetings have been held in this house and the implication that this fraternity has been financing and supporting a political campaign this fall, but that it is not a matter as far as Beta Theta Pi is concerned, and I do not choose or intend to enter into any further discussion with any of the Hill political groups on this

Johnson Declares Farmers' Problem Demands Solution
Unemployment and Cur-
currency Difficulties Are
Among Principal Questions
Speaking in his characteristic vigorous manner, Gen. Hugh S Johnson last declared that a solution of the farm problem must come before permanent recovery can be realized in the future. It is the experience of persons in the University auditorium.
His topic being "Good-bye Farm Export," the former head of the NRA sought to promote its situation and outlined his proposals for restoring prosperity to the farmer—at least bringing his income back to parity with those exceeded by 13 percent of farm prices in 1921.
Before going into his ideas of the farm question and its solution, General Johnson outlined two other touchstones, as he termed them, which would be necessary before recovery of a periwinkle can hang its hat in the United States.
Solutions Outlined
In his discussion of the complicated farm problem, the speaker paid particular attention to the foreign policy of the United States, in regards to its farm product.
"Those two procedures," he said, "were the prudent administration of the money affairs of the United States and helped relieve unemployment burden in the country."
Economic Policy a Failure
The foreign policy of this country has been a failure and that the AAA had fallen down in respect to taking care of the
"It gets up the farm price on the domestic market and that is all to the benefit of our farmer," a spoke of the Roosevelt farm administration agency, "but as far as helping the farmer to dispose of his products in countries, the AAA falls on the job.
Johnson a Native Kansan
The former administrator of the one prefaced his address with a brief discussion of his early days in Kansas. His birthplace was Fort Scott and according to him any man should feel a thrill in coming back to his native state.
Following the completion of his prepared speech, General Johnson answered a list of questions which had been sent in by members of his audi-
"Brother and cousins graduated right here at the University, each falling, in succession, her to a traditional name such as Elizabeth. I served it reliably. I did not come here to lay claim to that one, I have been called names enough, some a lot worse."

Students will find a high-brow mage on the campus this morning. The "Sophistication Number" of the Sour Owl goes on sale today.
Owl Spreads Wings Of Sophistication on Hill In Today's Issue
The page for colored students is an innovation in Hill publications. It be a regular group column conducted by the group of Alpha Phi, alpha, fraternity.
Besides the regular gossip and joke columns, there are three new features: a new movie review column, a fashion column, and a page devoted to colored students.
Other features in the Sour Owl are "Owl Squire's Fashion Nerts." "Varistorius." K.U. Through a Bunghole, a parody on Winsley Walch.
Pope Would Grant Italy Mandate Over Ethiopia
Editorial Will Point Out Unfair World War Distribution
In the view of the holy father, the mandate should be granted to Italy to avoid confluration.
The Pope's viewpoint will be revealed in a leading editorial in the next issue of the "Civilita Cattoliza". The publication will appear Saturday.
On one night each year, according to the best tradition, departed spirits return to roam the earth. This night was originally known as "all halloween evening" but through the passage of years, the unwieldy term was shortened to halloween. The strange happenings on the last night of October have long been held at the door of ghosts, witches, and hobble gobbles. Perhaps spirits still are in halloween stains, but likely most of them come in bathed form.
The editorial will contend, in out-spoken fashion, that the League of Nations should not hesitate any longer to grant a mandate over Ethiopia to it if it wishes to prevent still greater suffering in Europe and perhaps in the whole world.
Rome, Nov. 1- (Friday) - Pope Plus early today came forward squarely in favor of granting Italy a mandate over Ethiopia.
Spooks, Spirits, Witches, and Goblins Roam and Romp on All Hallowe'en
The editorial will point out that Italy is entitled to a mandate, if not by the consideration of strict justice, at least in certain respects. Italy received nothing in the "vast distribution" of mandates over the former German colonies at the end of World War II.
(By The United Press)
The "Civitale Cattolica" is the lead Catholic publication of the world and its most important editors are written under the direct supervision of the holy father. This has been true to the foundation of the publication in 1849.
The editorial will conclude by urging Catholics of France and Great Britain to strive for a broader understanding of Italy's necessity.
L. P. Rankin and J. D. Ingle, graduate students and assistant instructors in the department of chemistry, spoke at the Brines and Other Sources conference yesterday at 4:30 p.m. in the chemistry building. Mr. Rankin talked on the subject "On Making Explosives" and Mr. Ingle's subject was "Modern Materials." The students came from Brunes and Other Sources."
A favorite pastime on that evening used to be the decoration of fraternity and sorority houses and lawns. The trees in front of the Theta house were nicely adorned with long strips of paper one morning so not many years ago. On the same morning, a large sign above the door proclaimed that this building was intended for neighboring lawns in the back of the Pai Pat house, several barrels of cans and
Club Hears Instructors
(would you believe it?) bottles were artistically strenued. On the door of the D. A. P.店 was a sign, common place, "Men at Work."
On one expedition the personnel o which included a number of wel known campus personalities, a bright young fellow amused himself with throwing bails balls against the sides of houses. Just north of the stadium he tossed one through a window. An indignant householder armed with a terrifying expression and a large bag marked the discovery of one of the most famous sprinters in Kansas track history.
As seems to be the case with most University traditions the observance of halloween has tarnished in the past but is now being celebrated, the custom to hold an all school costume party in recognition of the season. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes and record crowds attended. There is usually quite in order on former halloween halls.
Quite in contrast to these lively activities of previous years, students last night went back to the ancient interpretation of halloween. They went inside the ghost of the blue eagle and other early political experiments. The only stunts reminiscent of previous years that seemed to be in vogue last night were a couple of skit-drag演习 on the bodies and bodies of automobiles. Of course University students may have had no part in such puerile activities but an equation in differential calculus neatly accounts for this. We look like the work of grade school children.

Ku Ku's Will Lead Students' Cheers At Demonstration
Request School Supporters to Meet This Afternoon for Farewell Celebration
Loyal University students will carry their team enthusiasm to the football practice field this afternoon in what is expected to be a mammoth demonstration of faith in the Jayhawkers' ability to trounce Oklahoma tomorrow. Last Saturday was the first time in five years that the Kansas team has won its first conference game of the season, and the previous time that the Kansas captured the Big Six flag.
All students are requested to meet in the central lobby of the Administration building promptly at 4:30 for the pep meeting. They will snake up and get their seats on the Chal Cairn to the football practice field, where the Ku Kai, aided by the cheer leaders and Jay Janes, will direct a half-hour of cheering and singing school songs while the football team brings up its last practice of the week.
New Cheerleader on Duty
New member on DLC
Clyde Nichols Jr., c36, newly selected head cheerleader, will lead the cheer.
Walter Ramney, newly elected president of the Ku Ku's, said last night that the club would step out of its past role in fostering school spirit, from now on. He said that each fraternity on the Hill will have four members in the Ku Ku club instead of two as formerly, and one as men will be elected to membership.
The football team will leave for Oklahoma City tonight in a special pullman attached to the 16.57 Santa Fe station, where they will not disturb the players at that hour, as they will retire soon after the pullman is placed on a siding at 9 o'clock. The first stop will be at Oklahoma City at 7:43 a.m., Saturday. Breakfast there will be served by where squad members will rest and wait for the bus which is to take them to the field at Norman at 11 o'clock. They will be taken directly to the field for the game, which will begin at 2 p.m. The team will arrive in Oklahoma City immediately after the game.
Band Already on Way
Ninety members of the University band left at midnight last night, en route to Norman. They will participate in a combined band with members of the Oklahoma City university band in Oklahoma City this afternoon at 4 o'clock. They also will take part in a K.U. parade and attend a Kansas State parade will be staged at Norman field between halves of the football game.
A number of other university students and faculty members are expected to be in the stands at the kickoff. Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen, director of athletics, will leave Lawrence early this week to attend Kansas State Teachers College, at Pittsburg. He and George Nettles will drive to Oklahoma City from there and accompany the team to Norman.
The Jayhawkers and Sooners played a 7 to 7 last year on Memorial field when George Hapgood completed a long forward pass to Stukey in the last over.
This year Captain "BILL" Jones, nationally famous football coach, has started Oklahoma's grid machine into one of its most successful seasons in several years. The southerners have lost two games-out of five but the other four are still strong and Nebraska Cornhuskers, two of the strongest teams in this section.
The Karsans, on the other hand, made one of the most surprising comebacks in football history with their clean-cut victory over Kansas State last Saturday. If the spirit and drive in that game revealed that, Kansas has had a hard-fought Big Six football championship since the days of Schaum and Beach, and the rest of the greats on the championship team of 1930.
