Here are a few of the things seen by the "eyes, curs, nose, and throat of the campus"; while trying to be a good child at the Miami Tripod barn dance
The Pi Phi's came army style that, is each one had a similar pair of boots. The girl was withdrawn, but we do know that a blind man could tell a Pi Phi anywhere, regardless of her clothes. George Robison turned out to be the hero of the siege, and when he let old Dobin go full speed down the hill and send a party of fun-hawkers to the ditch. Really the old bungy turned over and Gore egod gave a gash on his face.
The hoe-calling event was nothing to laugh at, because the first contestant had no more than started when a flock of boys came running to him. All they go to show that some men are not so stupid as old life they put out rush-week
The traveling man's great friend, the farmer's daughter, came in person but the boys out wile so she don't stay long . . . The place was fowl with chicken and ducks. Plenty of hay was left. They were ready to quite the place for the Hey Boy boys . .
. The best part of the Trind, according to all who know, was this Guernsey wasn't there to bother those who like to dance.

There's a romance budding if all turns out well, but we can't say much until Nebert Anuchuet, the Sigma woman, gets it. Betty Ruth (How 'my Doin') Smith he's very bad(b), but he wants the girl, and what a guy do for the girl.
Could anyone tell us what fellow (He must be a power) called a sorority house for a date recently, but the girl refused him because she didn't recall receiving his credentials, she called him back and took the date.
Lend your eyes to a rare bit of PhD Delt wilt; The Boys are now calling Speed Harkness, "Squirrelly." Oh yes, he peels his grape.
The psychologists are fooling the people again. They are experimenting with the monkeys, and the students of all classes are trying to decide if monkeys will learn from monkeys. This all came about when the professor was explaining how sociable the monkey can be. The little monks would hold hands and jump around, stomp and turn things勾ajngs, and even get very excited with varieties. New professors we have.
The Alpha Chi's have been teasing their kids again, but for once a wise freshman fooled the upperclassmen. It was a trick she used — the pledge to act like a lady at a Beta party. Whereupon the pledge turned to the active and said, "If I were a lady I wouldn't be at a Beta party." Some of the young lady on the right track

The bombers move with gurilla bands, one column moved from the southern tip of Eritrea on the north, another from the Italian Somali Coast. The attackers use Asab Base on the laa territory. Increasing resistance, the rough Perrigan, and illness are slowing down the Italian advance, according to the Ethiopian

Paddling Question Will Be Discussed In Forum Tuesday
Field Announces Meeting After K-Club Action; Students Express Oinions
Sentiment commenting the recent move of the K-Club in rellinquishing their duties as enforcers of the University paddling tradition led today to the announcement by Lyman Field, president of the Men's Student Council, that the first of the programs for open discussion of campus policies came from Fraser Hall in an effort to determine student opinion in regard to the question.
The open forums were an important plank in the program of the P.S.L.C party last year in the contest that was Field elected, and the controversy arising over the action of the K-Club, in enforcing traditions furnished an opportunity for all interested students to have been allowed the affair in the first of the forums.
Interviews of prominent freshmen yesterday disclosed some interesting viewpoints. Some of the upperclassman consulted stated that they favored padroning, and others consulted that other methods of enforcement might work to better advantage.
Paddling was begun here about 1893 as a part of the annual freshman hazening program, but this year it appeared as the last remnant of the original custom, other practices have been discouraged by the faculty from time to time. A vote passed in 1920 at the victory for the supporters of paddling by a majority of 412 to 247.
Following are the opinions from a few of the students interviewed:
Arnold Gilbert, president of Owl Society. "The custom of wearing fresh caprs should be retained, but I do not think it is. The tradition is the most likely
Woodrow Kipp, c39-"Paddling is one of the necessary traditions on the Hill, and I believe it should be continued. It involves a spirit of loyalty to 'the University.'"
to instil the proper spirit. I believe that the freshmen should consider themselves obligated and privileged to do what is required, even if they are not forced to do so."
Harry Young, *c$3* "Paddling and the wearing of fresh capres are a necessary part of freshman life. We could not go along satisfactorily without it."
Alfred Ames, chairman of the Peace Action Committee—"University life is changing. The old idea of having and punishment of freshmen is being replaced by a more mature, intellectual approach to learning, becoming more exciting because of it."
William Tholen, c.39—"Paddling is not objectionable. As long as the observing of traditions has been enforced in that way, it might as well continue."
De Short, c'39-"All school traditions should be upheld, but they should not be run into the ground. The freshmen should wear caps as the observance goes on, and the paddling when done properly is another tradition that should be observed."
Woyley Kaff, e36, president of Sigma Tau—Without "educating and similar students" in traditional, the school would become merely an institute. Paddling should be
Sol Lindenbaum—"I believe that the tradition of wearing fresh man caps can be made self enforcing through the spirit of the freshmen themselves. I don't believe there needs to be any physical compulsion."
Johnson to Appear Here
Former NRA Chief Is First Lecturer or Community Lecture Course
General Hugh S. Johnson, former NRA chief and recently retired as PWA administrator, of New York City, will appear here Thursday evening, Oct. 31, in the auditorium as the first lecture in a series that is currently commenced on the Community lecture course.
The topic of his lecture, which has not been announced, will deal with phases of national, economic, industrial or governmental importance which are of greatest interest at the time his lecture is delivered.
Following the address, the general will answer questions from the stage. According to Raymond Nichols, secretary of the school, he asks to seek John Johnson questions must submit them in writing to Mr. Nichols. This should be done immediately. If too many are sent in, the most important question out for the speaker's attention.

These rewards were presented to the band for having the largest number of players—252—and for the excellence in playing.
Unique Scenery to Be Used
Egyptian Settings To Be Featured ir "False Gods" Nov.4
"The scenery to be used in the production of the play, 'Fails Gods,' which will be given Nov. 4, is different from any which has ever been used in this section of the country." E. C. Buehler, the park's director and dramatic art, said yesterday.
The setting of the play, which is a thesis production dealing with religion, history, and culture, is composed of a series of platforms and Egyptian pillars that can be changed by various combinations into three settings necessary for the production. Four platforms are constructed for Thoueris, and Amon-ra, have been constructed and will be used in the set. The theme of the play is abstract, and the mystery has been designed to fit this theme.
Seventy costumes for the 40 members of the cast are being made by the University, as these were not available at any of the costume supply houses.

Handbill Mystery Of Past Few Days Solved Yesterday
Potter Admits Printing and Distributing of Bills; Denies Knowledge of Purpose
The "one thousand mysterious hand-billings" appear on the campus Thursday morning, last night turned out to be a picture of a picture to appear at a local theatre.
Prints Student Objections
Using a hit of psychology and capitalizing the names of a group of University students, came out enumerating the objections which were apparently held by the student liberal groups against the show.
Friday evening Bert Potter, 36, an employee until Wednesday evening of the Deluxe cafe, admitted having printed statements on his shirt that questioned concerning the bills, it was found that he did not know the meaning of several of the words appearing on the sheet. He declared he did not know that the bill was "iberalism" and "reactionary."
Chief Will Johns of the Lawrence police force last night said:
"All I want to say now is that Potter is the man who had the bills printed and who distributed them. A warrant will be issued charging him with distributing handbills without a permit from the city. He violated a city ordinance."
Employee Cannot Be Found
Yesterday evening Potter, formerly an employee of the theatre chain which operates a theatre in Lawrence, could not be found.
When questioned concerning his knowledge of the show and its objectional features, Potter said that he had seen the picture in Iola. It was learned then that the picture has not yet been shown in Iola. He said that perhaps he had "seen it in some other town."
Louis Siebers, manager of the Dickinson theatre, disclaimed all knowledge and wisdom she had known of the sheet was Thursday afternoon when one of the employees, a student at Oread High School, came downtown with the bill, showing it to her.
Reporter Interviews Dickinson
Reporter Interviews Deckion Sibers told a reporter for the Kansan theater, who was out of town, and would not return until Monday.
A few moments later an usher called saying that "Mr. Dickinson wants to see Siebers."
Several minutes later, the reporter for the Kansan was granted an audience with Mr. Dickinson.
Dickinson Denies Participation
Dickinson Denies Participation Dickinson denied having had anything to do with his behalf. However, he admitted that the idea is a "good publicity stunt."
Dickinson said that he thought perhaps some of the "boys," meaning his employees, had been acquainted with Potter. Dickinson said that he had discharged Potter as projectionist at a theatre at Hertington.
Field Protested Picture
Lyman, Field, president of the Men's Student Council, had written a letter last week to the theatre protesting the showing of the picture which throws several groups on the Hill into an unfavorable light.
A week ago last Friday, a group of students representing several groups on the Hill went to the Dickinson theatre and then finally arranged to have an advanced showing of the picture. The student groups are in deadline for the show—and last Wednesday.
The student groups said that they would begin a campaign Thursday morning by means of the Campus Bulletin of the Kansan against the show.
Handbills Appeared Thursday
Handbills Appeared Thursday
The handbills appeared on the campus Thursday morning, "stole the thunder" of the campus groups, and appear as though the liberal groups were distributing the handbills.
The psychology of the handbills was, of course, to arouse the curiosity of the students to such a pitch that they would want to see the picture. The handbills exhorted the students not o' see the picture.
Explanatory Slide Shown
A slide will be shown at the theatre after each showing of the picture, telling that the organizations on the Hill are in no way to be construed as the
