on the SHIN

One of the freshmen, who seemed to come from nowhere, entered the Gamma Phi house Sunday evening. He was greeted at the door by Katherine Cassidy, who asked if she could call some he for him. He told her he was in search of his date, so he told him to buzz up stairs. Well, his date caught him as he was getting to the second all up bazz and see her some time.
A certain queen of the campus was greeted by her father last week, who came up to the game. He questioned the girl as most fathor did, and was asked if she attended church each Sunday. Much to the surprise of the co-eed, the father decided to remain in Lawrence until Sunday evening, and much to the surprise of the father, the young girl could not find the church Sunday mor-
We wonder how much longer the K club and Austin will heckle about the paddling deal. Probably the K club will make a final statement, and Austin (unless he's changed) will keep up the fight for months to come. Maybe the freshmen can vote on the paddling question again. If so, that would be good defense for Austin year tried to make the fresh better boys.

The next major issue of the Hill should be for bands at the mid-weeks. A recorded program might be all right, but why not take the girls home to dance. Then too, the stage might be taxed, and the money collected from them might make up the difference for them. (Then on the other hand it might not.)
It doesn't pay to be too optimistic in this day and age of automobiles and Kiddy cars. The other night Bety Eddie walked out the door, walked out of the house aboard of her date and jumped in a nearby car, but to her amazement she was informed that the two would walk. Of course she was embarrassed, but she took it like a man.
Things have started to happen in this old country. Right when we were waiting for Hauptmann to be executed and the depression to end, K.U. came up with a football team. Something we thought impossible. Well it here, so we went to the stadium to watch the coaches. If we lose a game, then the usual wowing can begin.
There is nothing like a true story from dear old Corbin, but there is something like trouble ahead when a little publicity is given the girls. We received a very interesting letter concerning the knock down and drag out the girls had recently, and expect a response. The girls are too scared we could give you a blow by blow description and tell the names of the pugilists.
A man asked a fresh the number the jersey a certain football was wearing, and the boy replied, "Well the boys are down at the house has 36 on it."

Mid-Week Varsity Draws Big Crowd To Hear Records
Amplifying System Proves
Inadequate To Carry
Music To All Parts
Of Ballroom
The largest crowd of the year to attend a mid-week varsity dance packed the ballroom of the Union building last night to witness the inauguration of phonograph recordings in place of the customary orchestra.
Reaction of the dancers was decidedly unfavorable during the early part of the rehearsal, because they had the amplifying system. Students, when asked if they liked the new kind of music, answered with a vigorous "No." As students seemed to become more accustomed to the amplified recordings and apparently were more satisfied.
It was the first time in the history of mid-weeks that an orchestra was no hired to furnish music.
Large Crowd Attends Dance
Large Crowd Attendees Dance
Because of the huge crowd on hand for
the recording, the amplifying system seemed inadequate to carry the music to all parts of the ballroom. By next Wednesday night, however, Bill Cochrane, manager of the Union building, plans to have the amplifying system reproduction of the recorded music.
Cochrane Announces Number
It is planned to equip the building with a larger amplifier and to enlarge all the speakers placed above the dance floor. The audience will be crowded if the crowd surpassed expectations. Stags free from the ten-cent charge of the past two years, appeared early and in large numbers, and 15 minutes after they started, the 200 limit had been reached.
- Searcite Announcements Numbers
Cochrane announced the numbers as they plowed and expressed appreciation for the criticism offered by the students.
"We hope the students attending the mural week classes enjoyed our first recorded danza," he said last night. "We have a lot of students planning improvements on our amplifying system which will give more satisfactory tone reproduction. Due to the unusually large crowd, our present performance is inadequate for such a heavy load."
The use of recordings at the dances is a result of the failure of the Union building management and the local Musical Department for orchestras for an hour's shaving.
To Continue Recorded Music
The Union has demanded a resumption of its music performances over several years ago. For the past two years orchestras have played the hour dances for $2 a man, a total of $25. When notified recently that a minimum price of $20 per person would effect this fall, Cochrane protected that the budget of the Union building would not allow the increased expenditure and armed to record music as an alternation.
"Until the musicians decide to play ball," Cochrane says, "recorded music will be used." Meintime, the Union League of musicians dollars per man or nothing" ultimately
There will be no charge for stags at the mid-weeks as long as recorded mule is used.
Addresses Club at Ottawa
Skelton Also Directs Playing of Original Compositions
The University woodwind quintet under the direction of Professor Skilton, besides two numbers by Beethoven, played three numbers by Provenzano. They were "Autumn Night," in "Pascal Style," and "Alegretto."
Charles S. Skilton, professor of organ, gave an address at the meeting of the Skilton Club at Ottawa University last night.
The following are members of the quintet: Helen Rice, flute; John Schaume; John Makey, clarinet; Romona Harper, bassoon; and Milliary Lefron, french horn.
A pop rally for the football team, leaving for their tilt with Michigan State Saturday, will be held at the Santa Fe Station at 7 a.m.
Veuil Werd, head cheer leader,
is anxious to give the team a big
send-off and urges that everyone
be given the opportunity given
by a few of the players.
NUMBER 23
In Tuesday's Kansas the statement made by Bill Cochran concerning the mid-week variations was only part of the facts involved. In order that the present attitude should not be one of condemination for the musicians, the students and instructors have tried to work out some plan would play for these parts.
Musicians Answer
The musicians' union feels that their side of the controversy should be presented. We have offered the plan of playing the parties for $35, but we also want to see more action from the unions.
The original price for a mid-week variability was $45, but due to the depression and the fact that there was no compulsory activity ticket and badge required, it was cheaper.
Date Set for Election Of Freshmen to W.S.G.A
Vice- Pres. and Secretary Will Be Selected October 31
Now that there is an activity ticket and stags have been charged and the University has a record enrollment, we feel that the price we ask is justified. Since all other plans offered have been refused, we hope that some satisfactory arrangement may be worked out in the future.

League Will Apply Pressure Against Italy Immediately
...
Will Take Action Despite Refusal by Austria and Hungary to Co-operate
Genova, Oct. 10- (UP)-Officials of both the assembly and the council of the League of Nations said today the UN has condemned the mum pressure to Italy as rapidly as possible regardless of the attitude of Austria and Hungary" which yesterday refused to join in sanctions against Premitru Mussolini and his fastening.
The officials would not discuss military measures, but it was apparent many of them envisage eventual military action in the case of aerial XVI of the covement if warranted.
None of the delegates appeared much worried about the attitude of Austria and Hungary. Neither of these nations is important as a source of supply of essential materials to Italy. Their exemptions of sanctions would be important only if Germany defied the terms of the agreement in Italy, using Austria as a transient region through which to send war materials to the Italian frontier.
British delegates believe Germany will co-operate with England although they admitted Chancellor Adolf Hitler might demand a foreign loan to compensate him for the loss of Germany's Italian market.
The British said sanctions would be applied swiftly and with maximum effectiveness, and the minimum of provocation. Pressure will not be administered in small doses, but will be应急 immediately on the largest possible scale.
Italy, on the other hand, remained jovial at the Austrian-Hungarian stand. "The road remains open," the Italian leader said. "We have two central European nations had made known their stand. The Italians hope to receive raw materials from Germany and wheat and other farm products from Hungary, both by way of Austria."
Other League powers still believe despite Italy's optimism, that the measures which approximately fifty nations will adopt at tomorrow's assembly session will cause Premier Mussolini soon to sue for peace.
ADDIS ABABA IS ISOLATED
Capital of Black Empire Looks Geneva for Salvation
Addis Ababa, Oct. 19—UP) “The capital of the black empire, a welter of rumor virtually isolated from the world, looked anxiously toward Geneva tonight for the League of Nations’ salvation from invading Italian armies.
Communications with the Front were disrupted. The government was officioally backed by the Mussolini-packed city, from the Emperor to the beggars in the gutters, was ignorant of the fate of the Ethiopian tribesmen, relied on the advance of the Italian legions.
The uncertainty added to the mounting fears of the populace that Adibs Alabae, like Aduwu and Adigrat in the north, would be bombed by Italian war planes, several times reported flying toward the capital.
The government hoped that tomorrow's session of the League of Nations' assembly and the almost certain sanctions against Italy would halt Mussolini's powers. Opposed to this policy to be saved by international diplomatic intervention, the Emperor was being pressed by advisors to order massed counter-attacks. It was pointed out that although fighting so far between the Ethiopians and the Yemen militants it is known here, has been only minor stretches of guerilla warfare. The Ethiopians have demonstrated they are unafraid to face white men armed with modern weapons. An infantry attacked on a grand scale might crush the enemy, but they quickly felt this position, advocates of immense and complete resistance felt.
PUBLISHER EXPLAINS METHODS OF INCREASING CIRCULATION
Edwin Abels, publisher of the Douglas County Republican, spoke before the class in newspaper administration and research. "Newman Circulation Methods."
He explained the uses of contests, solicitors and other means of increasing the circulation of weekly papers. Mr. Sullivan was graduated from the University in 1914.
Museum Receives
Mr. George Reed Adds Indian Antiques To Collection
Sponner-Thayer museum has received a box of Indian relics from Mr. George Reed, of Seattle. Years ago, Mr. Reed sent a large collection of antiques to the museum, and he continues to add it.
The collection consists of a head-dress which Mr. Reed values at $50, moocas, beads, beads tools, and many other items. The collection have been dug from graves of Indians.
Mr. Reed's home formerly was in Topeka, where his father established the Topeka State Journal. Mr. Reed was a reporter during the Carrie Nation raid, and it was unbroken beneath left in the saloon. It now lies in the Spooner- Troy museum.
Student Councils to Hold Discussions on Forums
Joint Governing Committee Formed to Promote Free Thought
The Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Governing Association will meet at dinner Tuesday night to discuss the establishment of a series of student forums, it was decided at the M.S.C. meeting last night. The meeting will be held in the Eldrids Hotel at 6:30. Bob Willhua, esp. eng., is in charge of arrangements.
Thorpe said that petitions signed by at least 25 students, stating clearly the question to be discussed and designating at least one of the signers to speak on the issue. He also stated a member of a committee appointed by the M.S.C. to supervise the forums. The forums will be held within ten days after the presentation of such a petition. Thorpe also stated that forums at its own discretion discuss any subject. Neither the M.S.C. nor its agent, the committee, will be responsible for any opinion which may be expressed on the forum platform. The forums will be maintained with the highest impartiality.
Much discussion was caused by the disciplinary action taken by the K club at the St. Benedict's game Saturday on one of its members, Glenn Austin. Gouden Gray appeared for the K club. The council finally passed a resolution that the paddling of two upperclassmen at the game was not within the jurisdiction and that promised to take the matter up at a meeting of the K club to be held today.
A joint forum committee of 19 members has appointed a sub-computer on student free speech forums, with Bob Thorps, c37, a non-member, as chairman. The purpose of this committee, as outlined by Thorpe, is "To promote freedom of thought on the campus by the students," and students' student speakers may appear and express themselves without fear of repression by outside influences."
The action hinged upon the question whether a man automatically became a member of the K club upon winning his letter, regardless of whether he was in sympathy with the purposes of the club or with the purpose of serving the K club ever since he won his letter, and Saturday he refused to assist in painting freshmen at the game. The council also voted to approve $10 to use in getting better cheerleading uniforms for the K club leader, appeared and asked for $10 to record the megaphores and to procure better-looking sweaters. The council decided to give the present uniforms to the freshman cheerleaders and buy new uniforms arrangements with the athletic department to record their issue and collect them at the end of the year.
Logan Lane, treasurer, presented a number of bills, including the year's N.S.F. dues amounting to $20.25, authorized by the council to pay them.

Fred McCoy, 37, of McPherson, is still confined to Watkins Memorial hospital. Although he remains very weak, he has shown slight improvement times to improve he will be allowed to have visitors by the last of the week.

Bill Asher Resents Anderson's Charge Of Non-Importance
Iolds That Class President Has Important Voice in Council's Proceedings
Freshmen leaders yesterday were discussing with resentment the charge by Charles Anderson, P.S.L. prestigious faculty staff officers were in title only.
"It cites aspersions upon the ability and privilege of the men of the class of 39 to participate in student government," said one freshman.
William Asher, c'38, president of last year's freshman class emphasized the importance of freshman officers.
"The statement made by P.S.GL leaders yesterday." Asher said, "regarding the usefulness of freshman students at P.S.GL, their P.S.GL really recognizes the true scope of self-government on the hill." Charles Anderson, who was a freshman seven years ago, states that, "the officers of that class have no power in student government whatsoever." Seven of the officers say that statement is positively false today.
"Three years ago a Pachmach student council, recognizing the need for wider class representation and the ability of students to contribute, ceded that thereafter the freshman class should be represented in the Men's Student Council. The president of the freshman class was admitted to the university, and two other college affairs. He was appointed to various committees. Although having no vote, he shared responsibility with older men in directing the general political self-government at the University."
"The leader of this next freshman class will have this same opportunity, and yet the PSGL insists that the sole purpose of electing freshman officers, 'is to decide whose pictures shall appear in the Jawhaker."
"From these statements it is apparent that the P.S.GL believes in minimiz- ing the costs of training. I am wondering whether the attitude of their leaders is not calculated to re-strict the scope of student government at the university rather than to widen it."
Earhart Joins Purdue Staff
Famed Aviatrix To Be Consultant on Women's Careers

Dr. E. C. Elliott, president of Purdue, also announced that the noted availiat will serve as technical adviser to faculty at the department ofomatics department of the university.
GINGHAM FROLIC IS ATTENDED BY NEARLY 300 WOMEN
Approximately 300 women attended the Gingham Frolle, sponsored annually by the W.S.G.A. and Y.W.C.A., that was held at the Balloon Halloween day afterparty.
Specialties during the dance included: a solo, "I Love Life" by Mary Louise Beltz, accompanied by Anna Lee Hazen; a tap dance by Dorothy Garlinghouse, and an interpretative dance by Virginia Hawkins. A folk dance opened the party. Music was furnished by Lulu Kubu's orchestra.
Catherine Holmes, c'38, was chairman of the Frolic.
"The Constitution of the Men's Student Council specifically provides for Freshman officers and an election to fill them. Therefore, that it is its duty to fulfill the function required of it as a party by nominating the most outstanding men from the freshman student council for those offices."
Regardless of the action of any other organization on the Hill, we shall present to the freshman class a ticket merrifying their most significant indication. The Morte Welsh, Secretary of the Pacha-mac Society.
