The results of a minor accident proved to be rather unusual one night last week. Clyde Nichols started to play the guitar and the car was stopped when he ran into the fender of someone's car. Gentleman that he is, Clyde went in and told the owner of the car what had happened. "It's not my fault," he doesn't think anything about it." So Clyde forgot the matter and went home. The next day, however, he received a phone call and he is going to receive a bill from his company how congenial people get at times.
The Joachawker is sponsoring a trip to the Rose Bowl for a girl and also a boy, where they play soccer while, we suggest they give Ned Brandon and Betty Lea McMurray each one a ticket.
Gentleman Gene Haughey nearly found himself without friends last Sunday when he was trying to be the man of the minute. Gene, with three other Phi Delta, had waited a long time to meet someone who knew he were getting rather "put out" when two couples left and the boys were able to rest themselves and try some of Charley's best which is not too good. At this time, a very good friend of Gene's walked in with her mother. Good old Mary Margaret Manary, and a beautiful young girl. His brothers they would have to move. All went well except that the boys had to eat in another hash stand. Gene isn't rating so highly with a few boys.
It's about time the students were organizing a Landon club on the Hill especially when the Governor has the power to give it direction. Can't you just picture Alf at the controls of the airplane in which we are riding, and won't it be great to land in a field of prosperity? We call that "Landin" with Landon." Maybe the senior would favor a little prosperity, and maybe they will be looking for is a job.
The boy who was so kind to call us about the air at the Pi Phi house one day, was given the first degree last night, when the fellow he accused applied iodine. Boy, that Vogel plays rough.
Tae isn't necessarily an index of the intelligence of the Theta pledges, but it is a remark that slipped from one of their members. On a certain Monday night when it thundered, firing were tested an active inquired sly of a struggling pledge. "Who is the new rush captain of Phi Beta Kappa?" After a few seconds of silence and knotted browns, with deep concentration, she didn't know him in fact she didn't even know how many pledges they had on the hill.
Just a reminder: Will the Student Council please act immediately in the interest of the many who want our little dog friends locked up?
Psychology Meeting Held
Myron Messenheimer Speaks to Students and Instructors
Myron Messasubimier, gr. spake at the psychology department colloquium last Monday. He discussed the literature of the contemporary movement, and then turned to John Hull, Hall of Yale, which is called The Goal Gradient Hypothesis of Learning.
Professor Hull is developing the thesis that the nearer an organism is to a given goal, the more effective are the stimuli that set off the reactions. By a study of animals in mazes, he is trying to get quantitative measurements increasing strength of stimul the nearer the animal is to the food goal.
The next department colloquium will be held Nov. 4, with F. T. Perkins, of the physics department, as speaker. Mr. Perkins will discuss the recent PhD candidate Shaddey Theun. Phase Theory of Growth." Professor Snoddy's work indicates that learning can be predicated by means of the entropy equation.

Chamber of Commerce Hears State Legislator's Views on University
Dallas Knapp, of Coffeyville, a member of the state legislature, chairman pro tem of the Senate, and chairman of the Ways and Means committee, addressed the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to Senator Bob McCann, an unusually large number of the University faculty members. He was introduced by Senator C. E Friend.
Mr. Knapp gave an informal talk on his experiences in the legislature. His subject was "KU, past, present, and what it should be."
The speaker presented several reasons why schools of higher learning encountered problems obtaining appropriations. He cited the example of the individual elected to the legislature who knew nothing of his business, and not nothing but a hindrance to the others.
Students themselves may cause difficulties, the speaker declared. As an illustration, he told of a student who entered college, was graduated, and then decided to take law. He was unsuccessful in probation, and finally dropped. His probation also blamed this particular University. Mr. Knupp maintained that the student should not have been allowed to enter the School of Law in the beginning.
Katherine Hurd, I34, was chosen Kansas Beauty Queen of the American Royal Livelock Show in Kansas City Monday evening. Miss Hurd was announced the winner at a dinner party given in the gril of Hotel Muehshebi from Pittsburgh,emporia, and representatives from Pittsburg, Emporia, and the University of Kansas.
Mr. Knapp also spoke of students who came to college because it is fashionable when professors and staff hold a significant position, and persons point them out as examples of the uninfluenceability of students.
KATHERINE HURD IS CHOSEN QUEEN AT AMERICAN ROYAL
Others representing the University were Daisy Hoffman, c;38; Martha Nazman, c;37; Patricia Lyman, c;38; and Alice Team, c;38. The women were escorted by John Chandner, editor of the Jayhawker for 1833-36. Judges for the University include Leonard, leader, and Taylor Lewin, public director of the Mushlebach hotel.
It is interesting to wonder what inspiration served our predecessors in naming Kansas towns. The names of Gypaul, Saline county; Silica, Rice county; and Omaha county, suggest that those substances have been found or are abundant there.
It is curious to note that a town in Grant county is called Ulysses, and that the names of other historical characters are perpetrated by the names of Cooleidge, Hamilton county; Washington, Washington county; and Jefferson, Monongomery county. Someone with an Italian name has been named Cierno, Summer county; Achilles, Rawlins county; and Virgil, Greenwood county.
But what could have been the inspira-

General Johnson to Be First Program Speaker
ueries Will Be Answered by Administrator October 31
From these sources, he came singularly equipped to the gigantic task of Recovery Administrator of NRA. In June, 1953, following hard upon the heels of his resignation from NRA, he accepted the position of Administrator for Progress in the city of New York. He has just resigned that position.
General Hugh S. Johnson, former NRA chief and recently retired PWA administrator of New York City, will visit the community讲座 Oct. 31, as the first lecturer on the program of the Community lectures. General Johnson is a man whose personality and intelligence mark him as one of the outstanding men of the time.
The University of Kansas is one of the few groups who will hear General Johnson in the Mid-west. A lecture engagement previously arranged in Kansas City, Mo., has been cancelled because of conflicting dates.
Few people know that when General Johnson comes to Lawrence, he will be joined in a march from Benton in Fort Scott. A graduate of West Point with subsequent A.B. and J.D. degrees from the University of Calgary, he marches both in the infantry and cavalry.
Favored oversees during WWI, and is present at the time of the United States participation in the World War. Repeatedly sought by General Pershing as one of his staff in the AEF, he was withheld to take charge of Army Purchase and to set as representative for the army in overseas war, then in complete control of industries.
Provost Marshal During War
**JAMESon to XISSEV**
An especial interest part which he will give to questions submitted to him. These questions should be given in writing immediately to the office of Raymond Nichols, secretary to the President, and change them in order of their importance for General Johnson's consideration.
Independent Women Meet
Kansas Games to Be Broadcast
Football fans who are unable to attend the Kansas-Kansas State football games have an opportunity of hearing it over four radio stations. Stations WREN and WDAF will broadcast from brooks in the press box, with WBD well on tap from temporary booths at top of the press box.
Co-Ed Clubs Sponsor Meeting Las Night at Westminster
Last night's meeting, the second of the year, was devoted to discussion of the coming freshman election. Announcements concerning the freshman mass meeting to be held Thursday and the following Thursday were made.
The method of voting was explained to the women. They were given an opportunity to become acquainted so that they might be better able to select their own candidates for office. All women were required to vote in election tea and to vote in the election.
The Independent women of the University held a meeting at Westminster hall last night, under the sponsorship of Co-Ed Clubs this year are hoping to interest Independent women to take more interest in University activities.
Plans are being made for similar meetings to be held throughout the year to acquaint independent women with the campus life and how to cope with them.
It is even more curious (and confusing for postmasters) to know that White Eagle was in Wichita, but that Wichita is in Wichita, but Bedegrad wick county; that Dodge City is in Ford county; that Lyons is in Rice county, not Lyon; Ottawa in Franklin, not Otaway; Bellevue in Franklin, not Coffee, county; and Elk City in Montgomery, instead of Elk county.
Other Kansas towns are Cuba, Bavaria, Norway, Denmark, and Canada. Many of the towns are known for their names and derive their meanings then you have a wealth of Kansas history, information, and intriguing coinage, suggested by the names of Kansas town.
Then there are towns called Cedar, Cedar Bluff, Cedar Point, and Cedar Vale in Smith, Decatur, Chase, and Chauqua counties, respectively. Lost River is in Johnson counties, respectively. Clearwater, Kansas, is in Sedgewick county, and Coldwater is in Comanche county.
Great Britain Appeals For Eleventh-Hour Peac
foreign Secretary Pleads for War Settlement by Oct. 31
London, Oct. 22. —(UP)—Sir Samuel Hoore, foreign secretary, appealed to Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy today from the rostrum of the House of Commons to make peace with Ethiopia before Oct. 31. On that date the League of Nations sent a message and money war aimed at forcing the Fascist government to sue for settlement.
The peace plea featured an address of more than one hour in which the fo- cation of a United Nations British's foreign policy in a crisis which he said, easily could involve all Europe.
"We are doing our utmost to find an eleventh hour peace formula. There still is pressure we can apply. Our pressure can be applied. Cannot it be used for another attempt at a settle-
Although his words fell on a tense, hushed parliamentary audience, everyone knew Sir Samuel was addressing Rome when he said.
"Talia still is a member of the League. Commit this chance be used as so to lead our team in pursuit along this unattractive road of economic action against a fellow member, our old friend."
Sir Samuel laid down the following outline of government policy:
1. Military penalties against Italy are impractical because pre-conditions of such sanctions, namely collective agreements at Geneva, never existed.
2. The government does not contemplate closing the Suez Canal, and it is only dangerous and provocative to talk about it.
"We have not the least intention of interfering with the domestic affairs or other people," he said.
4. The government is not hostile to fascism.
The foreign secretary was cheered thunderously. The government enjoyed an overwhelming majority of 421 in the House.
3. Economic pressure now proposed is intended to limit the war, not expand it; shorten it, not extend its duration.
4. The government is not hostile to

Kansas Editorial Meetings To Have Record Attendance
Plan to Give 350 Editors and Wives Tickets for Football Contest
A record attendance is expected for the meetings of the Kansas Editorial Roundtables, to be held here Friday and Saturday. Prof. L. N. Flint, head of the journalism department, already has received more than 75 answers to the inquiries generated by the meeting will close Saturday in time for the editors to attend the Kansas-Kansas State football game as guests of the University athletic department.

"Individuals are now in the history of the meetings." Last year 208 editors registered at the journalism building during the various sessions.
Meetings Held Since 1906
Since 1906, the editors of the state's outstanding dailies and weeklies have been convening at the University for discussion of the important newspaper problems of the day, in 1921 taking the form of roundtables. In recent years, prominent journalists from outside the state have been guests at the meetings, work on various forms of newspaper works and conducting discussion groups.
Principal speakers in Friday's and Saturday's metings will be Elmer T. Peterson, editor of "Better Homes and Gardens"; W. K. Weller, field representative of the Missouri Press Association and member of the faculty of the University of Missouri School of Journalism; Cif Fltr Storm, Washington correspondent for The Topkeilaady Stork Secretary of the League of Kansas Municipal and Edward N. Doan, assistant professor of journalism at the University.
"Wrangle List" Discussed
NUMBER 32
Each year the visiting editors submit subjects for discussion in the various roundtable groups, and this “Wrangle List” this year contains a variety of topics that should make the meetings valuable and interesting. Among the subjects sent in are, “What should we do with the free advertising from the state and federal departments?” “Are sliding space advertising practices crucial to our business?” and so should we interpret the news provided we know what it is all about”, “What part should country town editors play in politics”, and many others.
One editor observes that "the fellows probably will get started on some subject and discuss it all morning, so I guess there will be enough to talk about."
During their sojourn here, the editors will be in charge of officers of the Press Club, who will arrange for their housing and entertainment. The reception committee, as announced by Professor Flint yesterday, is composed of Margaret Hunt, Sherry Sibley, Harry Valentine, and Jim Porter. Ruth Stolland is chairman of the housing committee, and is assisted by Harry Lane and Allen Meriam.
Registration will begin at 9 o'clock Friday at the journalism building. The meetings will be concluded before noon Saturday.

Flying Squadron's Fate Is Undecided Question
K-Men May Not Help Force Attendance at Rally Friday Night
Whether the leather paddle, as a means of enforcing University tradition, is to be used at night or day night seems to be an open question even though it has been sanctioned by many colleges.
It has long been the custom for the K Men to search organized and rooming houses a short time before the traditional day. A former wardroom part. The Men's Student Council recently voted to again sanction the forming of a flying squadron of both K Men and Ku Kus, the men in the organization, according to their own discretion.
Following the recent furl over the paddling of freshmen, however, the K Men have withdrawn from all tradition duties and are flying squad-duties to the Ku Ku's.
The entire question of flying squadrons and paddles will undergo another discussion at a meeting of the Men's Student Council tonight. The K Club may consent to take their usual part in an emergency mission, but decide not to undertake the job with the result that there may be no flying squadron Friday night.
Gordon Gray, president of the K Club, yesterday reiterated his statement made earlier in a speech heaped upon the K Men for their efforts in enforcing traditions, they would have no part in the paddling of freshmen or other rules pertaining to traditions.
In regard to the Night Shift Parade Friday night, he stated that the K Men they would help in other way they could in organizing and conducting
Gray, Betty Tholen, president of the Jay Jones and Ruth Stockwell, vice president of the women's pep organization, will lead the parade. The 12-block snake dance of men students, clad in blue, took place at the UConn building prompted at a 73-foot clock and held in South Park, where a pep rally will be held.
The University band will be out in full force and in uniform. At band practice last night, the members of the band were joined by the players and not palasames as had been suggested by a few of the members. Russell Wiley, director of the band, promised its 100 per cent co-operation in the celebration of the state football game here Saturday.
After several pep talks in South park at the end of the parade, free "eats" will be served through courtesy of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
The rally will end at 8:45 o'clock and three downtown theatres will be open to costumed paraders at 8 o'clock. They will be the Varsity, Dickinson and Paula Dardenwood theatres and a special theatre will have a special feature for all Jawhackers clad in their pajamas.

W.S.G.A. Changes System of Points Limiting Activities
Council Has Busy Evening Handling Problems of Several Groups on Hill
Miss Julia Jencks, president of the W. S.G.A., asked that the council support the Night Shirt Parade Friday night. Plans for the mass meeting of freeman women tomorrow to nominate class officers were discussed.
Changes in the point system limiting the number of activities in which any one woman may participate were one of the factors that led to a regular meeting of the W.S.G.A. last night. The council also voted to give $30 to Jayanes, women's pep organization, for the expenses of the group on their tour of the Nebraska game at Lincoln, Nov. 9.
The object of the point system is to protect rather than to restrict the women in carrying children, and women from carrying more activities than her strength will allow and to be overweight.
Points given for three officers of the council—point system manager, college representative and fine arts representative—were lowered to 20. These offices are responsible for the treasurer of Quack club, women's swimming organization, will receive 20 points as does the president of that group. Holders of temporary offices such as class teams, members of play casts and coaches, and committee members will receive no points.
