Nazi Sympathizers Laud Hitler Regime In Club Symposium
and Ise Criticize Der Leachr for His Connection With Capitalists
"Faesim will arise in this country when 49 per cent of the voters are radical," said Prof. John Ise, one of the speakers on the symposium on Faesim in the Club offered as its first effort in instigating thought on the campus concerning political and economic affairs. The meeting was held in the little theatre of Green Hall and an audience of townpeople filled the theatre.
J. F. Brown, assistant professor o psychology, in the second talk, said that Fiacunia in Italy and National Socialism were practically the same thing From personal observations he agree with Dr. Muslater concerning pre-Nazi Hitler's financial backers. Thysen and other industrialists, would not allow Hitler to carry out his liberal platform; that in fact, the party leaders never intended to carry out their printed ideals. He proved his point by citing a letter taken from R. P. Dutt's book, "Pascinia and Social Democracy." The latter, as a classicalist, advised the latter not to take too seriously the Nazi program.
Glenn Austin, c35, introduced Dr Herbert Muxell, exchange student from Germany, who gave the opening talk. In language which showed the surprising command of English that he has attained in his brief stay here (he is a native Englishman and internal strife, the unemployment and growing number of suicides which caused the rise of Hitler as the "unflying force" in his native land.
Mueller Not a Nazi
"We, the youth, certainly did not want the war," he said, "and didn't believe we should suffer for it." He declared that Fascism is not synonymous with National Socialism; that the latter is indigenous to Germany. He also denounced the idea of party stating that he hoped to become a member upon returning home.
Brown Defines Fascism
Leonard O'Bryan, former exchange scholar to Germany, in the third speech of the conference, political parties had reached prior to Hitler. He said that in 1930 he, too, disproved of National Socialism, but he made him believe in Hitler's program.
Professor Brown went on to define Facist dictatorship is unstable, reactionary capitalism existing because a government has an omnipresent radical threat.
Command Huey Loon
In the interview, he will use characteristic diplomacy, said he "agreed with all of them". He reiterated Professor Brown's definition of Fascism as "a generalized war that Versailles treally. He described Fascist "worship of one man" as illly; and mentioned the barbarian and sad character of the peculiar to Fascism not to nationalism.
"The Nazi treatment of Jews can be determined by his Hlerer's own statements regarding that race." Dr Ia said. Fascism would never crush America, but it could swer to a question concerning American trends under Communist threats he explained that if Fascism does arise he believes capitalism will act to deceive itself with a leader of the Hue Longtime communists, has now bras longer than Hitler."

Denell Stresses Women's Chance In Workaday Lif
Vocational Week Speake
Says College Training
Is No Assurance
of Position
"College women of today can be thankful so much is expected of them," said Mrs. Miette Denil, vocational guidance week speaker, at the WSGA luncheon at the Union building cafeteria this noon.
Mrs. Denell, director of the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupations, explained briefly that the bureau was responsible for coordinating college alumnus of 12 universities, who felt the need for a service to college graduates. Each month the bureau receives hundreds of letters from college students in lieu of traditional individual cases and seeking advice.
"College is by no means an assurance of a position but young women graduates have a better chance to meet present-day problems, and are better prepared for positions. College women of college age are more steadfast which will help them to know that the difficulties aren't too great," Mrs. Denell said.
In contrasting the lack of vocational opportunities for women a few years ago, it is now possible to exploit the possibilities of so many unchartered courses of today, Mrs. Denell suggested that as long as the future is uncertain women should be women of today to mold the future.
Wide Field Open
A few years ago the young women either went into teaching, were married or took up responsibilities within their family home, but today those women who go into teaching select it as a profession. Maryriage has now its place. Mrs. Raven or at least "marriage doesn't close one's mind" when new independent women have found work to be done and are contributing definitely to society.
To Honor at Tea
In closing her luncheon talk Mrs. Denell suggested as a keynote for Vocational Guidance week, the words of Dr. Nicholas Murray Burler of Colum-
nardus and I use our minds upon excellence and leave no stone unturned to achieve it.
This afternoon at 3:30 University women met Mrs. Demell at the W.S.G.A. given by Kappa Kappa Gamma in the lounge of central administration.
Tonight at 6:45 o'clock Demell will give an address on Corbis Hall, to which all University women are invited Her topic is "Vocations of Today" and will stress particularly the actual approach of looking for a position.
An invitation has been issued by KF KU to all students to visit their studio this week, while this station is celebrating its tenth anniversary week.
About 200 people will take part in the program to be broadcast Saturday night from the studio between 9:00 and 12:00 p.m. Allen Cannon, professor of dramatic art, is writing the continuity for the program in dramatic form.

from the libraries of distinguished personalities in the England of the eighteenth century comes the unique display of bookplates now being shown on the third floor of Watson library. This small part of the Arthur Wellington Clark Collection represents only a portion of the nine thousand prints collected by the University faculty. Alfred Houghton Clark, former head of the Art department, gave them to the library in 1927 as a memorial to his brother.
Down on the first floor of Fraser and back in the corner is a room very few students know. Only those who are making home economics their major course are familiar with it. This room is used for this course in textiles. There are many looms—small models of navajo Navajo looms, small hand looms or large looms of the Colonial type which is run by foot—all these may be found.
The group includes the ex libris plates of prominent literary men, royalty, and statesmen of that period: Thomas Campbell, the poet; Henry James Poe, acclaimed poet laureate of the Bostonian novel that succeeded him in that honor, and Laurence Sterne, the great humorist-author of "Tristan Sandy." The Soup plate is the work of Thomas Bewick, eminent as a wood engraver in England at the time. Other literary leaders represent this period: Arthur Yousuf David, the

Weaving, which has been a part of the general course in textiles since 1914 is undertaken to illustrate the construction of fabric. Each student does some work with each of the common types of weaves in order to secure a cohesion of quality and to understand the terms used in the texte-world.
Articles made on these looms are woven of yarn, cotton, and linen. The yarn used are specially ordered to secure colors suitable for hand weaving except when they are dyeed by the students themselves to give expression to their designs. The yarn and dyes are most often used to secure a special shade which can not be ordered. Linen towels, floor rugs, table scarfs, handbands, scarfs for wear around the neck—all these may be woven on the several looms in the department. However this is only one part of the course; scarves only a reargame amount of the time.

Mechanical Devise Lets 'De Lawd' Walk on Eart!
"The Green Pastures," Connelly's Classic, to Be Presented Dec. 17
One of the most interesting features in the presentation of "The Green Pass" is that it is a classic coming to the campus Doc. 17, 16, and the mechanical effect that enables Richard B. Harrison as "de lawd" to walk the campus straight out his wayward "chillum".
The idea is old, dating back to the thundering chariots race in *Ben Hur*; but its present application is new, and it is set in a musical comedy staged by Arthur Hommerstain, and known as "Good Boy." In this show a small army of girls, dancing in wild cattails under their feet, proves a sensation.
Some $25,000 was paid for the mechanism, with the corresponding heavy maintenance charges and additional expense when it became necessary to move the slow. After the New York presentation, just one such effort was made in Boston, and the "Good Boy" became "Good Bye."

Kansas Players Melodrama Halts Former Criticism
Bernita Brooks' Portrayal of Family Monarch Is Noteworthy Part of Performance
By Joseph Doctor, c'35
The latest dramatic attempt of the Kansas Players, the three-act mystery melodrama, "Double Doors," is worthwhile if it for no other reason than the success of faculty members in the cast. It is a student play from beginning to end.
Evidently the players cannot forget the last year's criticism that they were putting on too many high-brow plays, for they have gone to the other extreme to offer a highly melodramatic play that is simple, and in no way mysterious, because the audience knows who the villainess is from the very start, and it knows exactly how she will be found out in the closing lines of the play. To every melodrama is a breach of proper comediculture. It is totally melodrama.
It is the story of the three children of a rich old family left with a great fortune and a great name. Victoria Van Bret, the eldest of the three, is a stern old仔er determined to keep up the dignity of the family. She has three sisters—Hannah, sister, Caroline, and is determined to stamp out the romance of the young brother, Rip, who marries a nurse in the opening act.
Victoria Attempts to Starve Anne
Almost kisses to savor Anne
In old mansion is a secret room, sound-painted and decorated in which Victoria administers the family trust. She administrates the estate as she refuses to let Rip and his bride have even the wedding presents they receive. After the couple returns from the wedding trip she heaps insults on the bride, Anne, and attempts to break down her morale to a point where she will leave Rip. Anne and Victoria battle furiously over the matter; they argue. Anne finally wins out when she incites her husband to rebellion against the old spinster.
Victoria lures Anne into the secret room to die of starvation, just as she and her husband are getting ready to leave. Victoria over her sister's power and informs of the secret room, and Anne is rescued. Victoria then is forced to sign a document giving the Van Brien riches to the family, which she gently dies of heart failure.
Berneita Brooks Outstanding
The ability of Bernicia Brooks as Victoria Van Bret is the outstanding part of the play. The rest of the cast fades into the background when she is on the stage. She managed to make the audience hate her so thoroughly that it actually cheered and applauded when Farrel Straw, as Irap Van Bret, finally defied her. After her splendid performance in "Eva the Fifth," this new one of the old spinster further demonstrates Miss Brooks' ability and versatility.
The play is inadequate as a vehicle for the student actors cast in the parts. It is weak in plot and action, with few outstanding lines. While there have been many examples of this past, the Kansas Players should remember that there are many people on the campus who feel that student actors can handle heavy roles well, and it would be well to mix some of the heavy actors into the roles nounced what their play will be in February, probably waiting to see how this play is received. They are hampered a great deal by lack of interest in their plays, which forces them to abandon some productions simply unable to find sufficient talent.
Such ability as is demonstrated by the actors available, would, however, warrant the selection of a greater variety of plays than they have had this year. Campus playgoers, such as they are, are lovely behind the Kansas experiments in a wider variety of dramatic attempts would be well received.
