NUMBER 67
Two Students Expelled From Washburn College
Seven Others on Probation for Conduct in Night Club Parties
Topeka, Jan. 5- Two students were expelled and seven placed on probation from the law school at Washburn College here yesterday. The action was taken by Dean Harry K. Allen, following night club parties held by the Delta Gamma sorority and the Phi Alpha Delta, legal social fraternity.
Students who attended these parties intoxicated are those who are affected by Dean Allen's action. The names of the students were not given. "Expulsion, or being placed on probation, was severe enough penalty without making their names public," said Dean Allen.
Some of the students were included on the list for their own conduct and others for being responsible for the parties. The action was taken because of the conduct of the students at the parties in which the parties were conducted.
"The two students who were expelled have already left school, and the others will remain on probation," Decar Allen stated.
Lake May Be Built at M. U.
CWA Project Would Result in Forty
Acre Body of Water
The basis for such a lake is already there, he explained. A 37 foot dam was erected for the purpose at the time the Memorial stadium was erected. This stadium occupied one branch of a system of canyons which extend south of the city. The dam which will be the western short of the lake closes off another.
Columbia, Mo., Jan. 5—(UP)—Students at the University of Missouri will have the CWA to thank for a 40-acre lake upon which to sail and beside which to dream if present plans materialize, according to C. L. Brewer, athletic director.
Work of clearing out the basin will be the last CWA project for the University, it was explained. If there is damage to a dam, it is safe to damage it. If not—well, the dam is still there.
Miss Hull in Radio Talk Remarks on His Ability of Expression
Honors Ingalls Anniversary
In a radio talk last evening over station KFKU, Miss Myra A. Hull of the English department honored the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John J. Ingals, distinguished United States senator from Kansas, orator, essayist, and poet. It was Ingals who said, "My grandfather attended the University of Kansas, in 1873."
According to Miss Hull, Ingalls's mastery of vocabulary, his aptness of phrase, are proverbial. Remarkable also was his skill in adapting his manner to his audience. In political debate he was terse and epigrammatic, in repartee sharp, and decisive, like the play of lightning; like Swift he was a master of stINGing sarcasm."
In her talk, Miss Hull said that of all Kansas poems, only three would live, one of which was Ingalls' sonnet "Opportunity."
The men's employment bureau of the University is asking those who want and need work for the second semester to keep in close touch with the office. A few jobs have been filled since Christmas, and Fred Elsworth believes that there will be some more jobs at the beginning of the second semester.

Six Brick Piers Will Support Sidewalk to Watson Library
What are the brick piers for in the pit of old Snow hall, ask a great many curious students.
The brick piers in the pit of old Snow hall are for a sidewalk that will extend from the front of the library to the street. There are six piers about ten feet apart and about eight feet wide which will support the sidewalk even though the dirt settles into the pit. The rest of the ground on either side of the walk will be leveled off, and sod will be placed.
Irion Surveys Conditions Found in Modern Schools
Illiteracy Not as Common as in Former Years Says Educator
"The educational system has not failed entirely, when we view the fact that pupils today can read better than 25 years ago, spell better, and are better informed on facts of current interest than their ancestors," said Professor Theo W. H. Irwin, dean of the School of Education, at the university of Missouri, in a talk to the Kansas School of Education convocation yesterday.
"The important thing," said Professor Irion, "is to change our philosophy of education from an individualistic point of view to a more social aspect."
The speaker surveyed briefly, the current condition of the nation's schools today, pointing out the fact that more children are demanding educational opportunities each year, and that less money is being made available for this purpose. Already some 2000 schools throughout the United States have been closed.
An illustration used by Mr. Irion in the course of his talk was, that at the Century of Progress when the adults were in the science buildings they were somewhat perplexed at some of the displays but that an explanation was always received from some pupil as to the exact meaning of the work.
"In addition to changing our philosophy we must change our teaching materials to deal with social and economic problems of today rather than with facts concerning the past," continued the speaker. "Teaching needs to be professionalized so that those entering the profession will think of it as a life work rather than a stepping stone to something else."
McPherson Votes Out War
Poll Shows 50 per cent of Students Would Not Fight
McPherson, Kan—(UP)—In a recent poll 50 per cent of the students voting at McPherson college, declared they would refuse to take up arms for the United States to go to war with any nation.
Two possibilities were offered the students: first, if the nation was attacked, and second, if the country entered in any war.
One-half of those voting said they would refuse to fight for their nation "under any conditions." Twenty-three percent indicated they would take up arms if drafted to prevent an attack upon their country. To 21 per cent the reason for attack was taken as determining their attitude toward war.

Cyclones to Open Basketball Season Against Nebraska
Missouri Will Play Kansas State Tomorrow; Jayhawks Idle Until Tuesday
Pre-Conference Play Standing
| | W | L | Pct. | Pts. | Op. |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Kansas | 4 | 0 | 1.000 | 139 | 80 |

Winning slightly more than half of their 26 pre-season non - conference basketball games, Big Six basketball teams will swing into action against each other this week. Iowa State, victor in four of its five, early games, will be host to Nebraska in Ames tonight and is favored to take the lead in the conference race.
The Cyclone team has been very impressive in its first games while the Huskers, defeated in four of their first seven games, are the early expectations of their coach.
Tomorrow night, Missouri, the team favored along with the Kansas Jayhawkers to cop the conference title this year, will tangle with Kansas State, the weakest five in the loop, if the results are to be taken as a criterion.
Kansas Favored for Title
No other games are scheduled for this week as the Big Six begins it sixth year of competition.
Kansas, conference champion for the last three years, is the outstanding favorite to win this year's title on a basis of early performances and reserve strength. The Jayhawkers are handicapped only by the lack of till men who might control the tip. The Kansans have no towering giants like those of Iowa State, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The presence of a veteran for every position, however, and several very promising sophomores, among them Ebling, a forward who had led his mates in scoring to date and who is fourth in the individual scoring averages, is considered an indicator that the awkward will be hard to replace this year.
Ok!ahoma Also Undefeated
Kansas leads the conference in pre-conference standings having won all four of its games, two of their practice ults against Kansas State. Oklahoma similarly is undefeated, the Sooners have played but two games. With but one game lost Iowa State is likewise inundated by Alabama with four losses and two victories and Missouri with one win and two losses stand next. Kansas State trails with but a long victory in six starts, a two-point win over Colorado University.
Kansas has scored 139 points to 80 for their opponents in non-conference games to date, for the best averages of the competing teams.
Tenight's games will mark the sixty-fifth meeting of the Cornhuskers and the Cyclones. Iowa State is favored to win by a good margin, but the Huskers cannot be counted entirely out of the running. The Nebraska showing has not been impressive, but the Huskers are in control of schedule than any other Big Six team.
Handicapped by the loss of regulars from last year's team and by the lack of available material this year, Kansas State is not expected to put up much of a fight against the Tigers tomorrow night.
Kansas does not get into conference play until next Tuesday night when they open against Nebraska in Lincoln. The two teams both games from the Huskers last year.
