The twelve-hour service around here is amazing. An article appeared in the column concerning a girl wearing sasha pants, and here is what we get in the
Dear Scoops on the Shin; And so revolutions have their beginnings. But my dear, they are slacks, and as for your suggested clan of "smoking sailors", it's a one man army, because this is K.U. and radicals belong in Algebra but not Math, because Barefoot-alas! you give me ideas—but kid's sails (white incidentally) and minus socks are the regulation (since you might not comprehend the last article of apparel-socks on the Shin, may come from other sources). Thanks just the same for the free publicity, only it’s entirely too ambiguous to help the cause—the Journal World News better. Am I a jealous of this blonde.

Another good story comes from the library; this time it concerns a lady of high renown—no other than Andy Anderson, who has for many years been on the library staff. She known for her wit and her attention to detail. A freshman was making his first visit to the library and was having some difficulty with the card index. Finally he spied Miss Anderson and asker her for the necessary combinations to secure a book. She gave the woman an offer to play a plus a sales talk about the library. He was somewhat elated over the knowledge he had gained, and after thanking the librarian for her service, he said, "Gee, you ought to work here."$^{20}$
Every now and then a boy has to be everybody his girl friend, but there comes a time in this puppy love when the lover should be a little considerate. It is said that not long ago "Bull" McElfrick, Sausage Center's girl to the University of Georgia, man over a date he had with Al McCure's girl. So Martha, being a human, was going to break a date with Bulla, in order to have fun with Al. The time was set for Saturday night, and all was well until Bulla became very jealous; and in his own way, he pitched against her. "Martina if you break that date with me Saturday, I'll break the date to the Triad." He knew he bad her, because she didn't have time to get another date to the party. A good threat, Bulla
One of Professor Reale's students insists that we tell this one on him. But we will give the professor credit for a novel idea. It seems that he dropped in the Jahyuk for a cup of coffee, and as he hipped, he realized the liquid was steaming hot but so an ice bucket had to be ordered. Then our friend would take the cake followed with a cup of the coffee and all went well.
People were wondering, yesterday,
who the party might be that issued the
hard bills concerning the "Red Salute."
It was a new bill. The purpose of
things purpose it was plenty clever.

Anderson Resigns His Post as PSGL Chairman
Student Leader's Move Comes as Surprise to Party
Charles Anderson, 136, announced his resignation as chairman of the Progressive Student Government League last week. Mr. Anderson has his associates in the organizations, as he had made no previous statement of his intentions. Ross Robertson, general secretary of the PSGL, would call his appointment to elect a new chairman.
Anderson refused to amplify his reasons for resigning, but said, "Certain facts have made it impossible for me to be a successful leader of the Progressive Student Government League." He also suggested that he should organize and of the PSGL senate.
Both Robertson and Sol Lindenbaum, president of the Pachacoan political party, expressed regret that Anderson found it necessary to take this step. Anderson said he would preside his reason for action at the next meeting of PSGL.
Anderson said that three weeks ago he was appointed a member of the committee to review ticket requirement. He had presented a petition to the Men's Student Council for six dollars to repay him for the tickets he was unable to use because of work.
Lyman Field, president of the Men's Student Council appointed Logan Lane and Jillian Meyer, all claim that although he has asked Lane to call a meeting several times, Lane has refused to do so. Lane says he has authority from Lyman Field to postpone the meeting.
Anderson did not advance this as a reason for his action, but stated that since the council had adopted a resolution that he would not be defending her, he felt they should take some action on the matter. Kenneth Born, another member of the committee, said, however, that Lane was planning to call him into the office soon to make some definite action.

Accused of foolishly advertising a motion picture which they termed "subversive," officials of the three organizations began an investigation early this year that uncovered a portion of those promoting the bit of ballyhoo for the picture.

New York, Oct. 18, (UF)—President Roosevelt tonight retreated his pledge to "do his part in keeping America free of the threats that move along the road to war."
Roosevelt Reaffirms Stand
Arrangements have been made for the Ku Ku's to make the trip to Lincoln for the Nebraska game.
His message, prepared on ship-board off the west coast of Panama, was sent to the Herald Tribune for comment problems and read by Mrs. Roosevelt.
" their interest in these great questions is rooted deep in the conditions of their own lives," he said. "When our economic system fails to sustain an adequate standard of life it is the responsibility to face the most poignant privation."
President Reiterates Pledge to Keep America Free of Entanglements
The President lauded the study of public affairs, particularly by women.
"I have pledged myself to do my part in keeping America free of those influence and risk that I must read to war. I want to feel at all times that I have the sustaining influence of a healthy, sound, and, above all, American opinion on the subject."

By a process of elimination, according to Ames, the committee then decided to call up Mr. Glen W. Dickinson, manager of the Dickinson theater. "Since the Dickinson theater stood a fair chance of benefiting from this program," Dickinson said. "we thought it wives to have its views on the matter. If he, too,所 the perpetrators of this star upon the common sense of several student or

President of K-Club
GORDON GRAY
I wish to make this statement to the student body as a whole and to all others who might be interested.
"We, the K-Club, have to the best of our ability regulated and enforced traditions on this campus as we have seen fit. This authority was granted to us by the Student Council. Now that we have handed all authority back to the K-Club, we must continue to build school spirit and be loyal to all our athletic teams, and we will co-operate in every way to promote enthusiasm at the University of Kansas."

Britain Seeks a Showdown

italy Faces a Stolid John Bull Who Threatens to Increase Pressure
While Italian soldiers in Ethiopia were getting ready Thursday to meet the first determined Ethiopian opposition, Premier Benito Mussolini was being pressed hard by the world's most powerful and diplomatic antagonist—Great Britain.
Events of the last 48 hours surely must have convinced II Duce—if he ever even doubted—that John Bull means business. Britain not only rebuffed the attempt, through Premier Pierre Laval of France, to get the British home fleet out of the Mediterranean, but countered with a sharp reponse. The French would allow the British battleships to refuel and repair in her Mediterranean bases in case of war between Italy and Britain.
It now becomes increasingly likely that Britain will increase the severity of the border conflict to the extent of blocking the Italian coast or closing the Suar Canal. Similarly it becomes increasingly probable that short of this is likely to now involve Italy.

This action, following the resolution against paddling passed by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, throws a new and unexpected light on the problem of tradition enforcement which recently has been the subject of much controversy.
Lymean Field, president of the Men's Student Council, had planned to turn the college faculty resolution over to the College of Arts and Sciences speech forum committee for consideration at a forum to be called for this purpose, in order to have a basis for discussion about the nature upon which the Council could act. Following is the text of the K-Club
Following is the text of the K-Club resolution:
"to the Men's Student Council. Charge them to help ensure that K-Club was charged with the task of enforcing the Freshman Cap Tradition. The club as a whole has attempted to fulfill the desires of the council in order to ensure that members be to unanimous opinion among the entire membership of the club as to the practice of paddling freshmen. In fact, it is exceedingly doubtful as to whether such practices prove of the traditional method of paddling freshmen for not wearing caps. It would seem that true traditions do not need to be enforced. Where enforcement is necessary, they cease to
In view of the above facts and since the K-Club has been subjected to a great deal of criticism in attempting to fulfill the wishes of the council; we hereby wish to make it clear that from this date, the K-Club will have no part in the pudding of freshmen or in the preparation of other rules pertaining to traditions.
Signed:
Gordon Gray,
President K-Club
Werner Applauds Action
When asked to comment on the action of the K-Club last night, Dean Henry Werner, Men's Adviser, expressed the belief that the decision of the K-Club represented a dignified and statismanlike attitude.
"they are to be commended," he said, "both on their leadership and its influence." They will feel to take, but, in taking it, they will find that they are placing themselves on that plane of public estimation; they are entitled. Move power to them."
Custom of Paddling Is Old
The history of paddling and the freshman cap tradition has been long and hectic. The custom was started about 100 years ago, but the official sanction. However, it gradually grew in popularity and finally received the sanction of the Men's Student Council.
In reply to protests against wearing the cap in 1919, Dr. Frank Strong, at that time chancellor, said that the United States had been a board of Regents to oppose hawing, and remarked that the freshmen should be willing of themselves to conform to the tradition of wearing the cap. However, the protesters in the cap was freely permitted on the campus.
K-Club In Control Since 1934
- K-Club In Control Since 1934
* Until the spring of 1934, the tradition was enforced jointly by the K-Club, the Ku Ku's and the members of the Men's Council. The men of the Council passed a resolution vesting the responsibility of enforcement entirely in the hands of the K-Club, to be assisted by a tradition committee with a council member as its chairman.
In an election hall last fall the University decided not to fail the University decided by a vote of 412 to 347 in favor of continuing the tradition of the as it stood.
