Judge McDermott Will Speak Today Before Students
LAWRENCE. KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1835
Distinguished Jurist Wil Discuss "The Supreme Court" at Convocation
George Thomas McDermott, judge of the United States Circuit Court for the tenth judicial circuit, will speak at an all-University Convocation at 10 o'clock this morning on "The Supreme Court."
From 1928 to 1929 McDermott served as judge of the United States district court for Kansas. He was appointed to his present position in May, 1929.
"Judge McDermott is one of the distinguished jurists of the middle west and a brilliant speaker" said Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
He is a graduate of Southwestern College at Windfield. He received his LLB. from the University of Chicago in 1910. He began practice in Topeka.
Judge McDermott's talk this morning will probably prove the contrasting views between the strict construction and loose construction of the Constitution.
Judge McDermott spoke at an Armistice day convocation here several years ago. He lectures at times for the Washburn law school.

on the SHIN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
Union Manager Willy Cochrane tells us that this 300 limit on Junior Prom tickets is no joke, no publicity gag, nor anything else but the straight goods—and furthermore that the reason for the limit is so there will be more room to dance and there might be a good party. Furthermore, he says that the impossible at K.U. has happened and that more than two-thirds of the tickets are sold already. Alive Simmons' name and picture in the papers brings back memories of the days when he was 130, you had to hours were spent going up to go a dance because it was the thing to do to be seen there, and our organized houses weren't yet on their milk-and-cracker You Can't Do That rules. We hear that Arlie has a good band and hope the Prom will bring back more of those memories.
If there's anyone who didn't get a good look at Sister Mysterious Manary at the Pan-Hel party last Saturday night, we'll request her to make another public appearance tour of the Union building. How the "modern" girl would sing and scream if she had to wear thatowl in block.
We thought that Frank Allfack had charge of the shoe department at Harzel'd's and we find that he has just any number of odd little uses. Passed there yesterday and there he was draped in the window like a corpse, had a bunch of artificial violets in his hands, a happier-in-death smile on his face, ete really looked nice, and then later we saw him draped in one of the latest beach suits for milady—just can't imagine how ducky he'd be at Palm Beach
It grieves us to hear that one of the last of those marvelous, hard-to-find college girls of the type who generally is ready for any good time and doesn't specially give a d——has gone the wrong road at last. Friend Annie Hubbard has a pair of those Mrs. Astor Go to Hell spees with the chain on them.
From the A.T.O. ranch comes the sad tale of how touchy Touchy Eagle made a trip to the office of Dean Agnes the other day. Someone called him and hurriedly and right mightly he cut a class, got his hair cut, padded a shine on his boots, and hid himself away to the trysting place. After about an hour of waiting someone asked him what he wanted and it came out in the wash, he wasn't needed around him so he concluded that Werner's office must be his destination. Imagine the surprise and relief when he finally discovered that it was a joke and he wasn't on the carpet for anything. Once in a great while practical jokes are a fine thing but something like that can very easily cause heart-failure you know.
'Hold That Line' Comes Near Filling Popular Conception of College Show
By Lena K. Wyatt, c'35
By Lena K. Wyllat, e35 "Hot rythm," snappy, wise-cracking dialogue, beautiful girls and beautiful clothes—that is the popular conception of a college show. "Hold That Line," W.S.G.A. musical comedy presented for the first time in Fraser Park on Friday night, can be tingled by Gilling the bill. Musically, the comedy is decidedly a success. Catchy tunes, such as the title song, Red Blackburn's composition "Big Dog," "Only You," and "Jungle Rhyme" will run over and over again in your mind, proving their effectiveness.
The dancing is good. The singing is unusually enjoyable, and will make you remember Dorothy Ann Martin for her lovely voice and attractiveness. The dialogue moves swiftly, for the most part, taking several clever digs at Hill organizations. Miss Bramwell has proved that humor need not be risque to draw laughs from a college audience.
William Bracke carries away more than his share of the scenes as Percy, a Beta freshman, who is profuse in the utterance of words almost as big as he is, (which is saying something), but who lacks that ability attribute so nee-
Baumgartner to Conduct Tour to Pacific Coast

Doctor Baumgartner will offer courses in field zoology, cytology and graduate research, and Dr. W. A. Hilton and assistants will offer courses in biology of vertebrates and biology of invertebrates.
Six hours of graduate or undergraduate credit can be earned and applied on a degree at the University. Field trips along the beaches for collecting and studying sea animals will form a major part of the work.
the costs will be little more than usual. Living quarters will be provided in conveniently situated cottages where they can like.

NUMBER 112
The play is not without weakness. The group scenes do not hang together. The principal characters carry their parts well, but receive little support from the good-looking young ladies and gentlemen who provide the atmosphere. Also, the words of the actors are not plainly distinguishable at all times. These faults are not to be ignored. The character's shoulders. He has understated a large job and the fact that the comedy as a whole is good may be attributed to his direction. Lack of time seems to be the one handicap of the production.
Miss Brunwell deserves much credit for the construction of the comedy. With a few changes in dialogue and proses, she might be accorded professional merit.
The play opens in the New Deal Night Club where university students have gathered for College Night. Bracke appears as the freshman and is taken under the wing of Lila La Rae played by Berneta Brooks, who is more experienced in the ways of she. She shines off on his efforts to a "line."
In this scene, Red Blackburn presents his "hit" number, "Big Dog", which promises to outlast the musical comedy run. The scene closes with the arrest of Alan Stuart, played by Paul Hammons, on charge of stealing a car, Stuart realizes that a trick has been ouyed on him by Jimmy Trent, acted

(Continued on Page Three)
Chancellor E. H. Lindley who was guest at the W.S.G.A. council meeting last night made a short talk to the members, congratulating them on their year's work and especially on their study of social problems which involved the different women's groups on the Hill.
"You have just scratched the surface of the social life of the women on this campus," he stated. "W.S.G.A. has a chance of reaching the inner parts of this life through skill and technique in handling its problems as they arise."

Zupanec Oration Wins First Place In Forensic Meet
Second Prize in Annual Jun ior- Senior Speech Con test to Edward Powers
William Zupanée won first prize, an award of $15, in the fourth annual junior-senior oratorical contest held last night in the Central Administration auditorium. "Skyscraper Cave Men" was the subject of the winning address. Edward Powers won second place with an oration entitled "New Deal of Prosperity." He was awarded the second prize of $10. Prof. E. C. Bucher acted as chairman of the meeting.
Justin Hanner rebulked present day court systems in "What of Public Trial." He said that the public has been failed in trials when convictions are based upon circumstantial evidence as was the case in the recent Hauptmann trial. We went on to say that the constitution gives the right to speedy and public trial and that it is up to the public to see that the system of American jurisprudence is not threatened.
Zupanec, winner of the contest, clearly explained the parallels between the cave man's reasoning of "an eye for an eye and a life for a life" to the underlying principle of revenge commended in the recent Haapamure trial.
Elizabeth Bush in her "Holy Prayers in Horses' Ears," attacked the stand which America takes on war. She gave examples of the preparation which other countries are continually making in addition to those being made in America, and pointed out the great suffering which war has been, communalized.
Burt Hammers in his talk on "The Aristocrat" attempted to justify the fortunes at the top of the ladder by stating that those below in imitating his actions.
Arnold Friesen spoke on "A New Religion for a New Day." In his oration he expressed the need on a new stand on religion and stated the difference between beliefs in the old religion and the new. He said that convictions in the old beliefs were in the interpretation of the supernatural, while religion today must become truly supernatural. Soon, he began using terminology, but believers in the new religion must take into consideration scientific facts.
"The primal cause of war is instinct," said Edward Ghilchrist in his plea to the parents of America to mold their children into the habits of peace and away from the destructive habits of contention.
"Germany has her Hitter; Italy has her Mussolini; and the United States has her Roosevelt," Edward Powers said in speaking on "New Deal or Prosperity." He declared that the New Deal has not struck out at the cause of the depression, the high tariff, but has merely toyed with the surface manifestations of this deep redded condition.
In his speech, "The False Face of Communism," Roland Welborn, after staling that he is not a communist, went ahead to say that the ideals of communism are the most perfect ever created in the human mind. Communism is not anti-God仰望 but a progressive collective economy, he said.

Kansas Graduate Completes Coating On Telescope
Rhawker, winners of the Dealer taglion. Rho national debate tournament will meet Logan Lane, 136, and Charles Hackler, 133 of the University, in Fraser theater at 4:30 this afternoon. The question for debate is: Resolved: That all collective bargaining should be negotiated through non-company unions safeguarded by law. Both debaters from California have participated in more than 100 intercollegiate debates.
The aluminum coating of the mirror of the world's largest telescope at Mt. Wilson, Cal., has just been completed successfully by Dr. John Strong, gr26. Doctor Strong invented the method of coating mirrors with aluminum, which allows objects in the field of astronomy. The undertaking was the biggest job Dr. Strong ever attempted. The coating process involves the evaporation of aluminum in a vacuum at high temperatures. While Doctor Strong has coated other mirrors with outstanding success, his recent work concerned a mirror which has a 100 inch diameter the largest application he has attempted.
The use of aluminum instead of silver as a reflector in telescope mirrors saves money and increases efficiency. A 60-inch aluminum coated mirror is as effec- tive as the standard type. Nor does aluminum have to be reemplished as often as silver.
Dianmore Aller, professor of astronomy, has said that Doctor Strong's invention has advanced the possibilities of astronomy 50 years.
Doctor Strong is now a physicist at the California Institute of Technology. After being graduated he received a degree from the University of Michigan.
Bryan to Show Movies Of Russia and Siberia
Globe - Trotting Adventurer to Describe Soviet as He Saw It
Julien Bryan, author, traveler, and photographer, will appear with his amazing new motion pictures of "Soviet Russia and Siberia" at the University Auditorium, March 21, as the sixth number of the University lecture course.
"Soviet Russia and Siberia," the dramatic sequel to "Soviet As It Is," is a vivid portrayal of very real people. Mr. Bryan is a keen observer and authority on Russian people. He has just returned from a four-week trip in União with a record of what is happening under the second five-year plan.
His pictures show the people at work, their homes, hospitals, actual trials in the people's courts, Ozark prisons in Siberia, Soviet aviation, Maxim Gorky, Novgorod and its churches, Soviet surgery, the new theaters where actors mingle with the audience, the remarkable children's theater, religious rites, fishing collectives, the complete story of the collective farm, a trip down the Voils, and scores of other interesting subjects photographed with an insight into human nature that makes Bryan pictures inapparable.
One of the most interesting tribes he visited were the Tungus, who migrated from Manchuria to Northern Siberia 1,000 years ago and live to this day much like the American Indians. They live in wigwam houses on their land, have imprinted horns or dugouts, and have implicit evil spirits in medicine men who exercise evil spirits with drums.
Mr. Bryan also visited Olon Islam in Lake Baikal, where he found the former leper colony had been transformed into one of the biggest fishing communities in the Soviet Union, with 9000 fishermen, all collectivized. The spets had been moved to a hospital near kurtsk.

Editor to Uphold American System In Speech Tonight
Charles Scott to Present Eighth LID Lecture at Unitarian Church at 8:15
Charles F. Scott, editor of the Iola Daily Register and former congressman from Kansas, will give the eighth L.I.D. lecture tonight on "The American System a Success, Not a Failure," at 8:15 in the Unitarian church.
Mr. Scott will defend the present economic and political system against the originally scheduled speakers of the series. He is a graduate of the University, a former regent, and was three times president of the Alumni Association. He was in charge of publicity for the Republican national campaign in 1832, and besides his national political activities, he also played a state policymaker. Mr. Scott has traveled widely, making the trip to Europe, two to Asia, and to the South Seas. He has written a book based on his travels, "In the Far East."
The Rev. Joseph F. King will be the chairman for the evening. Before the lecture Mr. Scott will be the guest of a dinner at the Colonial Tea Room.
In an editorial which appeared in the Register soon after the series began, Mr. Scott stated, "The Register is strong for academic freedom, and if the members of the University faculty think they are doing what they are hired to do when they furnish leadership for a course of lectures the avowed purpose of which is to destroy the faith of students in their system of government this paper is not disposed to quarrel with them—upon one condition: That condition is that they show equal activity in promoting a course of lectures the purpose of which is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
"Isn't it fair to inquire whether they are doing that?"
