Some say the Pih Pa's did and some say they didn't have a pig party in the Theta house the other night. If they did, then we'll give you the story, partially, as it came to us. The pig boy is a medium sized pig book through or crook (Park comes awful high now). They took the porker, gave him a greasing, painted the name of Kappa on the merry chase to catch the grounded turned him house in the Theta house. The gals who are to build a new home within the near future, whipped it up for a while; then JB Burrows starred on the merry chase to catch the grounded with one most of the time. (Now Harris is ruined scaly). Well, JB didn't attend a chance, so one of the Pih Pa's came back to pet the pig, and the last report had the pig leading a race down the street. This wasn't told to me; I only heard.

Saw a demure creature of the fair sex walking down the campus this morning with a cigarette in her mouth, and my dear you'll never guess—she was wearing those funny long pants that made her stand out away from a fat sailor. We understand that this young lady, or one with the same ideas, is going to start a new clan on the hill. We'll really go for the fan in a big way, especially if a certain blond on the hill will join the club. But the girls will be turning on bare-footed.
It's funny what a little name can do. A Phi Gam by the name of Erwin was supposed to have a date with the Theta Edenon, but a monkey wren got in the machinery, so Brother Rowland took the date Little Miss Edenon has a failing of forgetting the names of her dates or not knowing them, in the first place. At any rate, she thought her brother Rowland, so the evening was spent in running down the book store and Mr. Rowland himself.
They say the boys who will attend the Miami Triad horse show this weekend are somewhere on earth as to where they can get some farm clothes. The horses in their arrangements are clever arrangements for farm wear, and surely you could pick up some plow shoes on the east eighty which is owned by the Amenia boys. Which reminds us that last summer the police were watching that they would have to mow the lawn.

Student Forums To Be Established By M.S.C., W.S.G.A.
Combined Councils Set Up Machinery for Group Discussion of Problems
At the first combined meeting of the men's and women's governing bodies, the Men's Student Council last night passed a bill to permit the establishment of a series of student forums on subjects relevant to women's health; a series of free speech forums on local problems. The meeting, preceded by a dinner, was held at the Eldridge hotel, and was attended by about fifty persons. Prof. Henry Werner, men's adviser, and Prof. Elizabeth Megan, adviser of the committee, approved the idea expressed in the bill. The W.S.G.A. passed the bill subject to action by the budget committee. The bills call for a legislative appropriation up to $900, to be allocated between the two councils according to their respective capacities; approximately $500 for the M.C., $300 for the W.S.G.A., and $100 to be gathered from other sources. Kerneth Born, chairman of the Forum committee, indicated that the speakers could be secured for about $750 with an indeterminate amount to be spent for inclinations.
Free Speech Forums
Also included in the bill was a provision for the establishment of student free speech forums, presented by a committee headed by Robert Hewlett, c. 37 Forums will be held upon presentation of a paper to be discussed forth a topic to be discussed and designating one of the signers as a speaker. The free speech forum committee also may hold forums upon matters of its own choice, whenever it is deemed
Loren Lague, secretary of the M.S.C. and Ruth Learned, secretary of the W.S.G.A., assured the group that the condition of their respective treasuries would permit the expenditure of this money. It was stressed by Lyman Field in charge of the meeting, that the speakers were required to avoid conflict with the Diversity lecture course, which includes only four speakers this year.
Noted Speakers Here
Several speakers, some of world renowned, have been contacted for appearance at these forums. These speakers include Norman Thomas, Arna Lousec Schwartz, Susan Ginsburg, Senator Robert LaFollette, Sculater Hamilton Fish and William Jardine president of Wichita University and former Secretary of Agriculture. While the appearance of all of these men is uncertain at present, Born assured the group that definite arrangements for the most noted one was positive.
Fifteen speakers have been selected tentatively, and the program has been so arranged that a student-faculty focus is made on the same general subject, so as to permit discussion of the ideas presented. Care has been taken to see that subjects of popular appeal will be discussed in a variety of universal subject will be represented.
Admittance will be charged of persons outside the University who attend the forums at which the most attractive students will be admitted free to all forums.
The completion of the list of speaker rests upon the action of the budget committee, which will meet this afternoon.

Last Night
Freshmen Debate Squad Announced by Buehler
Eight men and a woman were selected for the freshman debate squad last night by E H. Bueller, professor of French at York University in Mykland, who will have charge of the team chosen. They are as follows: Irving Kass, Roy Steinheimer, Gevene Landritt, Elbison Smith, Lawrence Birchfield, Erik Schoenker, Richard Jones, and Earl Stenrucken
The first speaker, Iveng Kass, taking the affirmative side, stressed the fact that socialized medicine is practical or it would not be expanding as it is today. The second speaker on the affirmative side, Roy Stenheimer, made the theory between the development of socialized medicine and that of education.
The subject for debate was Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of voter registration available to all citizens at public expense.
"Government control of medicine would be an evolutionary step rather than a revolutionary one," stated Lawry, also supporting the alternative.
William Farner pointed out the inadequacies of the present system of medical attention. He argued that at the present time there are millions who have been diagnosed with cases of their health status. Lastly, he contended that there was no great use of preventive medicine under the present system, but that a socialized medical service would provide periodic examinations and preventative measures.
Neal Hambleton, negative speakers brought out the issue of cost with the contention that the expenditure for a system of socialized medicine would increase as much as the expenditure would increase the state budget far beyond its limit. Gevene Landrith, speaking for the affirmative, presented and repeated some arguments that might arise against the expansion of a system of socialized medicine.
APPLICATION SHOULD BE FILED FOR RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
Earl Stuckenbruck, speaking for the negative, contended that the establishment of a system of socialized medicines would tend to destroy the medical profession as a profession and would put it under government control.
Eldon Smith, speaking for the negative, contended that such a plan would tend to lower the standards of the medical system because the personal physician had no experience increases his practice by the high quality of his service, and that under the proposed system the doctor would re-orient himself for his work no matter well be did it.
Applications for the Rhodes Scholarship should be filed this week, according to Dr. A. T. Walker chairman of the committee nominating candidates
It will take some time for the committee to check the references; therefore, in order to receive fair consideration from the committee, the applications should be turned in to Dr. Walker's office before Oct. 21.
Richard Jones, representing the affirmative, stated that the men high in the medical profession and those who four higher taxes, attack the plan say necessary. He then showed that these men were wrong; that socialized medicine is not revolutionary, but the next logical step for the government to take.
Five completed applications are already in, and several more have been taken but not yet returned.
Faculty Approves Four New Courses For College Credit
A. B. Degrees Voted to 42 Persons Who Finished Work Since Last Semester
at a meeting of the College faculty yesterday, A.B. degrees were voted to 42 persons who have completed their work since the June Commencement. A resolution of regret of the death of Prof. H. C. Thurman, who was chairman of the department of German at the time of his death last summer, were adopted. Forty new members of the teaching staff, including several instructors and three professors, were formally introduced by the chairmen of their respective departments.
The administrative committee reported action in changing pre-requisites in courses in the departments of geology and of philosophy, and a change permitting campus presentation of a course prescriptive for admission by the department of sociology.
App.ove Keyboard Course
The reinstitution committee reported that in the spring semester of 1955, 81 students failed in 40 per cent of their work. Of these, 34 petitioned for re-institution, 26 petitioned for the 120 students on probation because of low scholarship, 68 failed to meet requirements. Of these, 26 petitioned for reinstitution, and 17 were permitted to re-entrol. Of the 131 who were scholastic, 111 last spring, 43 are now in the university.
The faculty approved the recommendations of the administrative committee that the one-hour course in keyboard harmony, by the school of Fine Arts, will be offered to the department of economics be permitted to offer two new advanced courses—economics of imperfect competition, and fiscal administration—and that the department of speech and dramatic art be permitted to course No. 11, general play production.
On recommendation of a committee headed by Prof. C, C. Crawford, Miss Florence Black, of the department of mathematics, was elected secretary of
Report Card Explained
In connection with the subject of absences, he reiterated previous statements that the College has no rule that permits any student a given number of "cuts," nor were absences before holidays "double cuts."
Dean Paul B. Lawson, who presided at the meeting, explained the new form of report card to be used when students are found to be falling behind in their class work. He added that the same record would be used to report excessive absences.
Following is the list of college students recommended by the faculty to receive the A.B. degree. Most of them work in the recent summer session.
"The only rule the college has" he said, "is that a student with "excessive demeanor" should be dewn with a failing grade." "Excessive absences" may differ with students of the college.

Laval Proposes to Ease Anglo - Italian Tension
Britain to Withdraw Home Fleet; Italy to Stop Her Troops
ADD Directory Oddities
Swarthy little Pierre Laval, the butcher's son, who is premier of France at this critical hour, popped up again with another look to restore peace in hemisphere.
Laval proposes that Great Britain take her home fleet from the Mediterranean, and Italy halt her troops in the Mediterranean tension eased, the government heads of Britain, France, and Italy would sit down around a table, possibly with Pope Pius at the Vatican City—and allow the civilian crises without further bloodshed.
(Copyright, 1935, by United Press)
The French scheme appears to be a result of Laval's conversation Monday with British ambassador Sir George Clerk, Italian Ambassador Vittorio Cerutti, and Papal Nuncio Luigi Magliore.
The British pretend not to know about it yet, and the Italians issue "diplomatic denials." Nevertheless, neotimes may reach a stage soon where a public statement can be made. The French expect a formal note from France as as she cabinet has had an opportunity to study the proposal.
And incidentally, there are also three Robert Armstrongs and three Elizabeth Thompson: Robert Fred Armstrong, Robert McIntyre Armstrong, and Robert Armstrong Thompson. Robert Elizabeth Thompson, Laura Elizabeth Thompson, and Mary Elizabeth Thompson.
In addition to the oddities of the Student Directory published earlier in the week the fact has been brought to the writer's attention that of the 47 Smitha listed in the directory, there is not one John Smith!
Eighty-three girls are known as Mary, and Dorothy may be heard almost as
The British may take the attitude that any further peace move must come from the nation branded aggressor, and if it Duce wishes to indicate his specific intentions, all he needs to do is retreat and abide by the League decision.
Laval, of course, is making a desperate bid to save France's interest. He doesn't give a soub about war in Africa. He fears a continental conflict.
Laval fears Britain's effort to enforce sanctions may involve her in hostilities with Italy because France would be accused of breaching the League accord to aid Britain.
As in the case of the recent France-British exchanges regarding a European aggressor, another diplomatic "ring around" the United States that Britain demobilize in the Mediterranean, British is expected to counter: Does France expect to cooperate with Geneva procedure, or does it expect to maintain its outside outside the League? Is France prepared to declare her attitude irreversibly in案 case Musolini refuses to end his war with Ethiopia and strong measures that economic sanctions become
Barring a miracle, Laval's attempt is doomed to failure. Meanwhile, there still is no conclusive test between Italian and Ethiopian arms. The Italians are advancing steadily in Oepedao with the 150,000 troops massed by Ras Nassib south of Jijiga. In the north, the Italians have occupied Aksum without resistance, and aviators report they can advance 100 miles straight ahead without encountering Ethiopian troops. Poorly, if only his progress was that easy.
But to make up for this the G. R. Smiths are in abundance. There is a George Rockwell Smith, a Gilbert Rubenstein, a Robert Smith, and a Gordon Roy Hill.

FACULTY RECOMMENDS ABOLITION OF PADDLING
Delegates Favor Non-Importation of All Italian Products
Resolved:
Resolution Points Out That The Subject of "Enforcing Traditions" Probably Is a Matter Within Powers of Student Governing Bodies; Yesterday's Vote Was Unanimous
League Proposes Boycott
Text of the Resolution
2. That, in our opinion, the continued sanction of this practice by the student body is entirely inconsistent either with the dignity or with the ideals of the University.
1. That this Faculty regard the public infliction of corporal punishment for the infraction of arbitrary rules as a childish practice which is discreditable to the aggressors, to humiliate, to the oppressors and to make many of those who are compelled to witness it on the campus.
Captain R. Anthony Eden, of Great Britain, suggested that all members stop importing from Italy. Italy's chief ex-seller, the French company Olayo cheese, choco, apaghette, and fruit.
The economic sub-subcommittee swung its attention to paralyzing Italy's war industry, but discovered that non-league controlled nations produce many of the goods which must be enlarged if Italy's African arm is to be choked off.
Geneva, Oct. 15.—(UP) —A general boycott of all Indian products was favored by many delegates tonight as the government opposed attacks against India for attacking Ethiopia.
3. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Men's Student Council with the recommendation that they earnestly consider the abolition of this practice.
New Ruling Into Effect
At a recent meeting of the faculty of the School of Business it was voted that all advanced standing credits will not be counted in the graduation has completed a year's work in residence with a C average. This regulation is in line with the rule adopted last spring which made a C average in the business program graduating in 1968-37 and thereafter.
The School of Business faculty also voted to accept a maximum of 20 hours of correspondence study credit toward a degree. This must not contain more than 12 hours in professional credit courses.
Advanced Standing Group Must Have C Average in Year's Residence
The resolution declared the opinion of the faculty that "the public infliction of corporal punishment for the infraction of arbitrary
Objection to the padding of freshmen was voiced by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts of the University at its meeting last evening, in a resolution addressed to the Men's Student Council, urging that the practice be abolished.
Credit in band also was approved for all semesters of the junior and senior years, without a preliminary non-credit year of hand work.
Members of the faculty, pointing out that the subject of "enforcing traditions" was probably a matter within the power of the student governing bodies, nevertheless objected to being subjected to the spectacle of students being paddled.
STUHL AND WILKINS PRESENT FACULTY CONCERT MONDAY
Raymond Stubl, collist and a member of the School of Fine Arts and Mrs. Marie M. Wilkins presented the third faculty rectal Monday evening.

Dean Werner Speaks
rules is a childish practice which is discredible to the aggressors, humiliating to the victims, and highly offensive to many of those who are compelled to witness it on the campus." The resolution, after brief discussion, was adopted unanimously.
When asked to comment on the resolution last night, Dean Werner said that he believes that it is a perfectly constitutional approach to the question.
"There can be no doubt," he continued, "that any person or body of persons can approach the Men's Student Center (for relief from an akimone situation)."
"It seems to me that the faculty had a perfect right to make a petition of sort. It is the belief of the faculty that the department should give an undignified reputation to the school. Since the faculty must share in that reputation, their procedure was
"It must be understood that this is in no sense a mandate, and I do not believe the students will interpret it as such."
"The interpretation of this motion as a mandate would mean that we do not have student government."
Field Promises Action
"The spirit in which the resolution was presented—that of a genuine interest in student self-government and student affairs—is certainly gratifying," said Lyman Field, president of the Men's Student Council, "For it brings students and faculty together on a plane of equality in no far as student achievement. It is fundamental to real self-government at the University."
"The fact that the faculty have shown their interest in paddling, as definite but non-mandatory, will be well relied upon," he said. "A displaced request that I promise will receive immediate and earnest consideration." Field said last night that he would appoint a special committee immediately to investigate the situation in order to ensure that he has comprehensive report to consider at the next regular meeting.
