It's really funny the way some of our dear professors will carry on in a class. Maybe they are absent minded, who know? This time a prof in the School of Pharmacy walked in his morning class and assigned a lesson for the next day. He said that he had arrived an hour early and was distracting to another class.
LAWRENC, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1925
Who could pass up the new and different hour dances the Alpha Chi's are holding? They shuffle about on the side porch of their domicile, which is a good grade of concrete except for the cracks, and the music is in question as shoes are broken. We all know that boy danced for an hour over there, then he attempted to light a match on his shoe, and the result was a scorpion foot. It seems this unique dance floor tends to wear leather quite readily. But there is no reason to believe that the girls are blame, because we think they have been rated as an alluring the this year.
Someone sent us a story that is it is Ripley's line, but the Kanaan has made publication rights, so Mr. Ripley will have to stand by.
John Coleman, c38, while working in a Canadian lumber camp had summer was on a rift logs with several lumbar jackers, floating down the Saskatchewan wan river toward the bay market. Some one unequivably rocked the raft and the poor student left off the cold water to go back to the lake. His wrist watch and a pair of glasses.
Upon his emergence from the river Mr. Coleman discovered that he had left his spectacles resting on the river bank, a trivial search gave them up for leash.
Seven weeks later, while strolling on the river bank, he came upon his best eye-piece lying calmly on a nanny mirror. However, his watch hadn't run since.
Now that the college faculty has voted against paddling the fresh, et cetera, we think it only fair to look into the situation and see why such steps were taken, because the University is a school of many traditions. Of course you can't be a student of the University because they are supposed to be sweet and tender, but why the men would favor such a move is very queer, to say the least; unless one remembers that a number of the professors come from the East, and paddling is taboo in that region, so the informality of the West, and we'll call a few years to have our team.
From all indications Professor Wheeler is not on his dog psychology. A canine visited his class the other morning and came back for more every time he was escorted out. Wonder if members of the class fed the same way?

World Relations Club Meets
A small group of international relations followers met with Professor H B. Chubb last evening to discuss the future of the Relations club on the Hill this year.
The purpose of the club is to pro-
mote study of world problems in an
effort to further the cause of world
peace it is not a propaganda organ.
Similar groups are in existence in most American universities and colleges and in many European institutions of higher learning. They are sponsored by the Carriegie Foundation which furnishes literature and from time to time speakers to discuss current world problems. The local elicit organization is organized; the club is sponsored by Professor Chubb and Dean Henry Werner, A large amount of literature is available in Dean Werner's office.
At the meeting last evening, the chairman was instructed to appoint a nominating committee to consider officers for the coming year and to report at the organization session next week. The meeting will be held in the cafeteria at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24. A short program is also being arranged in the problem of international relations are tried to be present.
BUSINESS STUDENTS GIVEN
FIRST YEAR BAND CREDIT
At a recent meeting of the School of Business faculty, it was decided that students in the School of Business will be given one-half credit a semester for band without having first taken a year's hand without credit.
Commenting on the action of the School of Business faculty, Dean Stockton said, "Juniors' and seniors' time is short in the School and it seems unreasonable to require them to take a year's work without credit."
This new ruling applies only to the School of Business. These enrolled in the school are still required to take a year's band without credit before start to receive credit.

University Graduate Begins Boat Trip Down Mississippi River
Arnold Kretzmann, 34 and Gerald Braier of Borton, Kan., recently started a new job at the stewardship sippi river from Atcham, Kan., to New Orleans. Plans for the trip have been under consideration for a long time. Thursday were the men able to start.
Both men are anticipating many interesting experiences, and they hope to manage the trip in two or three weeks by traveling at their leisure. The teacher is prepared to stop for rest and amusement at different points along the way.
Kretzmatt attended the University of Kansas as a major in journalism. After being graduated, he secured a position as a reporter for the Horton Headlight.

'Anything Goes' Dance Will Be Held Saturday
Lloyd Promises Big Events Will Comprise Varsity Entertainment
"Sophistication is tabe at the next varsity," Gene Lloyd, varsity dance manager, declared yesterday afternoon in announcing a special "Anything Goes" dance to be held in the Memorial Union ballroom, Saturday night.
"Your blue overalls," he said, "will meet Taxadox on the same level, and both will be appropriate for the occasion. If you harbor an ambition to off your dance dance steps, here's a way up: go up a Virginia Reel, that's all right, too."
"Expect anything?" warns Lloyd. He has hilt his second varsity as one of "1001 surprises" and plans to have an opening in snapping up any time during the dance.
Several organized houses have been called and a request made of them to send their freshmen dress suitable for graduation. The Lloyd promises, will be in novel dress.
"In the past," he said, "we've had three hours of straight dancing. At 'Anything Goes' we expect every student to lose his sophistication and have little excitement, but he plenty of excitement and things so one knows about; maybe me too."
Louie Kuhn's orchestra, with Deco Short presiding, will furnish the music. The admission charge will be 75 cents.
Recorded Music Approved
Variety of Recordings at Mid-Week Pleases Dancers
To meet this new type of competition, efforts are being made to speed up service and maintain safety, the major device having been made within recent years.
Present at the smoker was Professor Trevidtola, who expressed much satisfaction with the manner in which rail-roads re-operated with the state in gathering data to solve transportation problems.
The amplifying system had been greatly improved since the first variety and plans now are being made to perfect the speakers—especially the one in the center of the ballroom which seem easy to carry, the extra heavy load.
The second all-recorded mid-week varsity was met with much enthusiasm. The students attending expressed their approval of the variety in choice of the numbers recorded, according to Gunnar Mykland, T38.
Manager Cochrane says, "I am very well pleased with the working of the new amplifying system. I am also grateful for the program in meeting with the approval of those attending. We shall make an attempt to get more new releases this week so that the dance next week will feature all of your favorite numbers."
Attorney Talks at Smoker
Bruce Hardy, 174, general attorney for the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe railroad at Topeka, spoke Tuesday night at the school of Business smoker in the Alpha Kappa Pi house. Mr. Hardy spoke as a speaker to an audience as a whole, from the wagon stage to the present era of development. He emphasized that in the last 15 years the railroads had virtually a monopoly on passenger traffic, but with the advent of the training industry, new businesses arise which the railroads had to face.
Bruce Hurd Addresses Business Group At Alpha Kappa Psi House
Within the past few days two letters were received by the Kansen and published in all good faith. Because of publication of one of the letters one student feels that his character has been attacked. While the Kansen cannot share fully the feelings and points of view of Charles Anderson and Ross Borders, it takes this means of acknowledging regret that the incident occurred.
The Kansas regrets that students of the University of Kansas within the past two weeks have apparently overlooked good taste and common decency in the way individuals have been assaulted in the Campus Opinion column.
The Daily Kanan, since it is the student publication of the campus, welcomes all communications from individual students who have something to contribute to the better understanding of problems that arise from day to day. The editors, however, frown upon attempts of individuals to use the Campus Opinion columns to give vent to personal ill-feelings.
The Kansan further regrets that the good will and intentions of the editors have been imposed upon to gain publication of such matter.

Joint Student Councils Approve Forum Measures
Discussion Idea Received Faculty Sanction Yesterday
The bill providing for student free speech forums and forums on world affairs, passed Tuesday night by the Men's Student Council, received another impetus toward final acceptance by the W.S.G.A. budget committee that its treasury contained sufficient funds to pay for its share of the expenses.
The Men's Student Council passed the bill at a combined dinner meeting of the two councils at the Edgirdle University Center; all councils ever have taken concerted action on student measures, and the presidents of both bodies expressed satisfaction with the results obtained. It is hoped to make an annual feature
The bill was to become effective, contingent upon its passage by the W.S.G. A which you unaccent to whether
upent upon its passage by the "Wis-
er A," which was uncertain as to whether
its budget would permit such an accu-
sion. Mr. W.C. Brown worked out
worked by the forum committee,
the W.S.G.A. will contribute about $300
toward the total of $600 to be obtained.
Faculty members expressed them-selves as being well pleased with the bill. Prof. W, E. Sandelius, of the political science department, said he was entirely in accord with the idea and with the machinery set up.
Prof. W. R. Maddox said, "The forum idea, to be successful, does not require the participation of a large number of students. A small body, seeking merely to discuss the problem, and not to decide it, can accomplish a great deal."
The report of the W.S.GA. budget committee will be presented to a special meeting of the W.S.GA. today for formal approval.

Dime Does Not Pay Quartet, Report Has Announced
A perusal of the annual report of this Student Organization Fund proves enlightening. This is a service offered to students, who are acting as bank treasurer and auditor.
For instance, by referring to it, any ambitious quartet could recognize the futility of singing at a banquet of the Associated Students of the School of Business, as the report shows that forty cents was paid to a quartet last year at that function, and by very elementary reasoning, we could conclude that the members of the quartet made ten cents apiece, which is definitely discouraging to quartets.
In spite of this unexpected expense, however, in the long run they cane out better than the sponsors of the variates. Another way not to make money is to sponsor a variety. Out of eight such varieties, we selected profit with the K Club variably barely shipping under the wide with a profit of 28 cents.
There is an indication of a spirit of playfulness among members of the University, band in an item showing disbursements of $1.50 and $6.67 for broken windows in buses on trips to Bonner Springs and Topka.
A potential campus crise wave is indicated by the fact that last year students publicly protest that a teacher of there is anyone who likes to appear optimistic about flaming youth, he may derive some cheer from that $101 of the cheeks were taken up.
British Reject Proposal To Withdraw Home Fleet
NUMBER 28
Mussolini May Reduce His Forces if Britain Will Comply
(Copyright, 1935, by United Press)
Benito Mussolini's attempt to get the British飞 off his front doorstep failed Wednesday. The British cabinet devised a plan, which would go from the Mediterranean — a decision which may be indicative of how far Britains intend to push League since 1945.
The question was popped to Britain by France's Premier Pierre Laval, but there is good reason to believe the French government has refused the veror Teruvii, II Duce's envoy to Paris. Mussolini was willing to reduce his forces in Libya—a threat to the Suziz Canal—if Britain would denobilize the military stretched across Gibraltar to Suzix.
British *Antisemitism* is Silea. That law that Britain was unwilling to withdraw a battlefield as long as Italy occupied Ethiopian soil. On that basis, it looks as if British battlefields have moved to Europe. Obviously, Britain doesn't want war. What motive, then, does she have for risking an incident between Italian and British vessels which might cut off all American ships after 10 years, after the "war to end wars"?
Paris, Oct. 16—(UIP) The British cabin decision to refuse to withdraw the home fleet from the Mediterranean to temporarily set back in Premier Laval's efforts to settle the Italo-Ethiopian crisis by diplomatic negotiation. Although the door has been closed for the time being on one phase of the deal, a new French feel conciliation has not become impossible. Laval still has not answered renewed British questions regarding France's attitude about the use of French naval dockyards in the Mediterranean in case Britain loses its future participation in the League of Nations, as well as her entire future continental European policy, depends upon the French answer: The British question evidently has been insignificant and the British fleet might be employed by the League to enforce a naval boycott of Italy. Massolini has asserted this would be regarded as an act of war.

K Club To Discuss Paddling Proposal In Meeting Tonight
Some Prominent - Students Express Opinions on Resolution Passed by Faculty
That the K club will devote all of its regular meeting tonight to a thorough re-consideration of freshman paddling was last night in a statement by Gordon Gray, ed'36, president of the club.
Grav Makes Statement
This action is to be taken as a direct outcome of the controversy raging around the question, following its revered yesterday by a resolution against the practice passed by the faculty at the School of Business, Men's Student Council, said last night that he would turn the resolution of the faculty over to a committee for consideration. He reiterated the statement that the action of the faculty was deemed not necessary excepted to request a representative of the faculty to appear at the next regular meeting of the council and present personally the faculty's viewpoint
Gray makes statement Gray's statement to the Kansan follows;
"In view of the extreme controversy raging around the question of freshman paddling, the K club plans to devote all of its regular meeting Thursday evening to a reconsideration of the problem.
"Every aspect will be thoroughly discussed, with the idea of clarifying, once and for all, the K club's position in regard to the matter."
A Kansas reporter obtained the following comments on the problem from other members of the student body last night.
Jack Miller—"Paddling as practiced at present is ineffective and does not foster the proper appreciation of University traditions."
Opinions Are Varied
The vetted President, of the Ku Kua's—The severity of the practice has the potential to threaten the use of leather paddles. I believe enforcement should be continued in the present manner."
Dorothy Lewis, vice president of W. S.G.A — I think it is a very nice tradition, as long as it is not carried to ex-labor. It cannot picture the campus without it."
Frank Allen, chairman of the tradi-
tions committee." No suitable substitute
has yet been offered for paddling in
maintaining University traditions.
That is what a more advantage-
mentous approach to accomplishing this
can be developed."
George Guernsey, president of Sachen—"I entirely favor the present system of enforcement."
Several Onnose Paddling
Kenneth Born—I am unequivocally opposed to this practice. Faddling is a childish method of preserving a moronic tradition."
Cycle Nichols-"Paddling when done maliciously loses its effectiveness as a method of enforcing campus tradition or fostering school enthusiasm."
Julia Jenks, president of W.S.G.A.
"I think that the practice is part of
the tradition of the campus; as long as
it's a musical injury, it should be continued."
Dorothy Fry—"I am opposed to the practice, and I think it should be discontinued. Student traditions can be changed by other means, and with less furor.
Grad Enroute to Argentina
Alan Coogan Has Journalistic Post in Buenos Aires
Alan Coogan, 34, who arrived here Tuesday night for a short visit with his mother, Mrs. James Coogan, left yesterday morning en route to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he has been working on a new project at the United Press news service office.

His latest appointment is in dis- tress.
As Coagone expects to remain in Buenos Aires for a period of six years before returning to the United States, he made the flying visit from New Orleans the first of this week to visit his relatives here.
