VOLUME XXXII
Dr. Albert Wiggam To Present Second Lecture in Course
Noted Scientist Will Inter pret Laboratory Discoveries for Students Oct. 31
Dr Albert Edward Wiggam, noted interpreter of science, will present the second lecture of the year at the University auditorium Oct. 31 at 8:00 p.m.
Dr. Wiggum tells in a popularized form scientific discoveries. His peculiar value to American life is that he knows how to come out of a laboratory, where he makes experiments in the language they understand, what the scientists are doing. He is equally at home with a Vermont farmer or a Vienna scientist. He knows the language of both, and he makes a work of standing up for what he sees and interpreting one to the other.
Dr. Wiggem is thoroughly familiar with the results that have come out of the investigations in the living sciences of biology, psychology, and anthropology—these sciences that have to do with the practical problems of health, happiness, and success and future of the coming generations. Dr. Wiggem has not spent all of his life in the laboratory, and because of the does not write and talk brawny, technical language that the public cannot understand, but writes and lectures in the simple, vigorous English of the average intelligent American.
Dr. Wagman is the author of "The Fruit New Decalogue of Science," "The Fruit of the Family Tree," "The Next Age of Man," "Exploring Your Mind," "The Marks of an Educated Man," and "Sorry But You're Not About It."
Dr. Wigam does not claim to be an outstanding scientist. There are other men who know as much about science as he does, but he knows, as few of his generation knew, how to put those records in to the living language of the people.
Speech Contest Announced
Campus Problems Discussion Set for Nov. 14
The department of speech and dramatic art will conduct a preliminary contest Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. in Little Theater, Green hall, to select eight finalists in the annual Campus Problem speaking contest.
All men and women students of the University are eligible to enter the contest, according to Miss Margaret Anderson, assistant professor of speech and dramatic art. W.S.G.A. donates a loving cup to the winner.
"Speeches in the preliminary contest will be four minutes long and confined to some campus or local problem," Miss Anderson said, "the topic is limited in this way because it is felt the best work is done on a project by the student. Any student in the University is eligible to compete."
For the past two years a winner has been selected after one contest; the run-off method of selecting a winner this year marks a return to the system used the first seven years of competition.
The eight speakers selected Nov. 14 will be judged by a faculty committee in a final contest held in Fraser theater, Nov. 20.
Last year's winneer in the contest was Dorothy Bangs, c'36.
O'Bryon Speaks to Rotary
Leonard O'Bryan, who recently returned from Germany where he spent four years working on his Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Marburg, spoke yesterday before the Lawrence Rotary club.
Exchange Scholar Discusses Presen Social Condition of Germany
Mr. O'Brien talked on past and present conditions in Germany. He brought out that four years ago Germany had 27 political parties and was in a state of hopelessness. Hitler has altered this situation by means of three devices, 1, city unemployed were more likely to labor cause deprived confinement; labor causes decreased, and government subsidies granted for private purchases and construction.
These three devices have reduced unemployment from 6,000,000 to 2,500,000. According to Mr. O'Bryan, economic conditions in Germany are not good, but there is hope that the Hitler's plan will work.
The German people, Mr. O'Bryan says,
are not in accord with all of Hitler's
practices but they follow him hoping for
the best.
Nightshirts, Food, Bonfire, and Rally To Be Features of Annual Celebration
NUMBER 29
The "night shirt parade" grew out of the "town and gown night." It was an annual custom, in the early days of the University for the "hill men" to "take over" the parade. This annual fight much property was damaged. In trying to subdue this oberabundance of spirit the "town and gown night" developed into a "night shirt parade." It was supposed to be finally annually after the first football game.
As years passed much of the rowdy enthusiasm over the "night shirt parade" died. Today the parade is a public event. The disturbance of earlier letter.
In 1919 the entombment was great. Everyone took part in the celebration. It was such an event that the celebrating not only meant a bon-fixture, some people would have been killed but also the jerking of troglodytes and raising a rumpus in general.
In 1920 Chancellor E. H. Lindley stated that the celebration was one which would do credit to any university." That year 1200 students plus many townpeople took part in the parade. They marched down the street to the bridge in column of four and then returned in the customary "snake
During the height of the ceremony when the students were all gathered in the middle of Massachusetts street, an enraged motorman in a street car drove the car into a group of students and seriously injured two of them.
Dove Will Soar
Over Campus Tomorrow
With Pet 'Gripes'
The Dove, a Hill publication presenting within its four pages discrimination of the most insignificant many student "grips," and facts affecting student ideas and opinions, will appear on the first time in two years. The purpose is to promote real opinions of the students, according to George Lerrigo, editor-in-chief. Although there may be attempts to suppress the epigrams, the openness of the bulletin will print any article that suggests it is not authentic. "The life of the publication depends on the contributions that the students wish to turn over to the staff for publication, and for that reason, we recommend it for use in later issues." Lerrigo says.
The paper, put out whenever there has been enough material handed in to fill its four pages, will be run by George Lerrig, e35, editor-in-chief and Jack Penfeld, e36, who has recently taken over the job of managing editor in the place of Ed Willeford, e35 who recently resigned.
Boyce Makes Inspections
Prof. Ernest Boyce, chief engineer of the state board of health, returned yesterday morning from an inspection trip to Daring and Parsons. Professor Boyce was investigating complaints made by officials in the two cities of sanitary conditions from slaughter house drainage.
State Board of Health Will Remedy . Slaughter House Drainage
"The method of handling drainage was found to constitute a public health concern and will be remedied in the immediate future by action of the state board of health."
Saturday Professor Boyce was in Cheney, conferring with Ludwig Schmidt, petroleum engineer for the United States bureau of mines. Schmidt is in charge of a co-operative project with the Kansas state board of health conducting a study of salt water disapalement from petroleum fields.

dance." The celebration was held on Saturday night, after the football game. In 1922 the parade was held Saturday night with an estimated number of participants of 2000. In 1925 the chancelor headed the procession in a truck. The parade was an enormous affair.
In 1926 we find that the freshman element began to interfere with the celebration. From then on the parade has developed mainly into a freshman parade. Notices are sent to fraternity houses asking that all freshmen put on their night garb and join in the celebration.
Of all traditions which have been preserved the "night shirt parade" is the most spectacular and most enjoyable. The men student body of the university is urged to turn out in full force Friday night and make the parade a real success as it has been in other years.
Geology Group Returns From Colorado Field Trip
Eighteen Students Make Study of Mountain Minerals
Prof. K. K. Landes of the geology department, and 18 members of his minelogy class returned to Lawrence Sunday from a field trip that took them to a number of interesting points in Colorado, and which, according to Professor Landez, revealed some unusual features for the group to observe and study.
The class left Lawrence last Wednesday noon and drove to Hays, when they spent their first night. Leaving Hays early Thursday, they drove it over the highway and over night to get an early start on their proposed observations the next morning. Friday, the group set out on the old road stage which took them to the Peter's Dome, a large mountain lying south of Pikes Peak. After climbing it, the glacier sent the remainder of the day observing a cryolite mine and finding a crevice in the ceiling. Professor Landes reports that each member of the group obtained a good specimen of cryolite, a substance that can only be found in two other areas of the earth in Russia and Greenland. A fluorite mine was also inspected on this Dome, and a few gold prospects were observed. Most of the specimens were taken from outcrops where observations being made from inside a mine.
Saturday morning the group drove over Ute Pass to visit a few gem矿 located north of Florissant, Colorado. Here the microscientist collected three kinetics of quartz crystals, and some graphic granite. After leaving these interesting deposits, they drove east through the Garden of the Gods, and on to Goodland, where they spent the night. They were then returning to Lawrence Sunday evening.
Gives Liquid Air Lectures
According to Professor Landes, the trip proved to be so successful and interesting that he plans to make this same trip ever again. He also gave special thanks for the benefit of his miniculture classes. Those who made the trip were Jean Beckner, c;35), Phil Brighton, e;uncil); Jones Clerk, c;46), Preston A. Cole, c;35), Dean A. Fitzgerald, c;46), Fred M. Ellis, e;uncil); Ellis Gordon); Frank R. Holtzbargel, b;35) Grace Kheroe; Raymond P. Kerchoer; Pierson Lyon, c;35) Charles Manlove, c;7), W. B. Nebbutt, c;35) Daniel S.

Morgan Harick, assistant instructor in chemistry, is giving the second of a series of liquid air demonstrations in Oklahoma this week. His lectures will be given in the colleges and universities of that state.
Chemistry Instructor to Hold Demonstrations in Oklahoma This Week
The process used to obtain liquid air from gaseous air is explained and also the various uses to which the product can be put. Alcohol and kerosene are the most commonly made into a candle and burned like tallow; nails are driven with a hammer of mercury made before the audience by the use of liquid alum. Aluminum is burned, and an air blower is used to motor driven by liquid air is operated.
