English Debaters Amusingly Uphold Sponsored Radio
By Max Moxley, c'uncl.
Sloan and Hacker Defend American System of Broadcasting Programs
Amusing anecdotes and sarcastic jab at the opposition kept the audience in continual laughter Friday evening when the University debaters met Cambridge in an international debate on the question, "Resolved: that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control." The Kansas debaters upheld the negative side of the argument. No decision was rendered.
The Cambridge team was composed of Alastair Sharp and Michael Barkway. Kansas was represented by Gordon Sloan and Charles Hackler. Professor E C. Buchler, director of forensics, presided as chairman.
Mr. Sharp, a native of Scotland, began the debate with a word of appreciation of the hospitality which was extended to the Cambridge team during its three weeks' stay in America. "Like a snow ball being rolled through the snow, we get bigger and bigger as we pass through America," he said.
British System Outlined
British System Outlined After expressing his dislike for the sponsored radio programs prevalent in the American broadcasting system, Sharp outlined briefly the characteristics of the British system. "The radio in England, he pointed out, is a governmental monopoly with one man, the director general, at its head. This director is responsible for all programs that go on the air. As a part of this system, each Englishman who operates a receiving set must obtain a license from the government.
Gordon Sloan, in opening the argument for the University, welcomed the Englishmen to the campus. Sloan then began a comparison of the relative efficiency of the British and American systems of broadcasting.
"The driving force of competition vital to all industries, has developed a broadcasting technique in America which can never be duplicated in a system in which the entire program is directed the direction of one man," he asserted.
Displays English Wit
He stated that while we Americans may pick from a dozen or more programs, the Englishman is confined to two.
Brookway, as second speaker for Cambridge devoted most of his time to the refutation of the argument Sloan presented. In a manner of which only an Englishman is capable, he remarked that "Mr. Sloan should have put less fire into his speech and more of his speech into the fire."
"We do not object to a few minutes of actual advertising, but to the kind of programs sponsored by the advertisers who are concerned with only those types of programs which appeal to the majority."
Charles Hackler, in concluding the main argument for the University, spoke of the tedium of the Sunday radio programs in England.
"While it may be true," he continued,
"that Englishmen have only two programs from which to choose, in America the wave lengths are so entangled that the American usually has at least two programs at one time.
Paris Broadcasts Used
"If the efficiency of their sets permit, Englishmen may tune in on beautiful Sunday concerts, broadcast from Paris, which are sponsored by English advertisers," he stated. He also argued that under a system controlled by the government; only politicians belonging to the party in power would be permitted to speak over the air. This tends to undermine the voices of other interests of the people. He elaborated on the appeal which the American radio programs hold for all the classes.
During the five minutes allowed each speaker for rebuttal, Sharp, in answering Hacker's statement, that English concerns advertise over the French radios, commented that many Englishmen run over to Paris to do things which they are not permitted to do in England.
Defends American Programs
In defense of the American programs,
Hackler asserted that culture must not be pushed down the throats of the people as is being attempted by the British.
Barkway closed the debate by voicing the opinion that it is better to have the air at the disposal of the majority party, or the party in power, than in the hands of the wealthiest party, as is apt to be the case under the American system.

Homecoming Committee Launches Publicity Plans
Folders Are Available to Students for Distribution
The Homecoming publicity campaign is to be launched by the Homecoming committee this week with the distribution of "letter-stuffers" containing a homecoming invitation and the schedule of the homecoming program.
These folders will be available for general distribution in the registrars office, the business office, and the alumni office, and students are asked to procure these and send them out in their personal letters, in fraternity and sorority letters or any manner in which they will advertise the Homecoming game.
The alumni office is sending newsletters concerning homecoming to 25,000 graduates and former students, inviting them to be present. Posters on the campus will advertise the program, and news stories will follow the progress of the Homecoming plans.
Merle Smith of Kansas City is representing a committee of anonymous alumni who are assisting in giving publicity to the homecoming. The committee has opened an account in the Plaza Bank of Kansas City under the name of the Kansas Advertisers with John O'Keefe as treasurer. They have initiated the plan of having every filling station attendant in Kansas City ask customers for a week in advance if they are going to the Missouri-Kansas game.
WREN will broadcast the rally which will be held the night before the game. A somewhat different plan is going to be used this time for the rally. The parade will begin at South Park and go down Massachusetts to the Kaw river bridge. It will turn west from the bridge to Vermont and then back去 Eighth street where the rally will be held.
The program as outlined so far begins Wednesday noon with the registration of alumni. The Law-Medic game and the annual Turkey-run will take place Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday night there will be a radio broadcast- rally, and the torchlight parade, a huge rally, and a mixer dance. Thursday morning some kind will be held, and at 12 m, the pre-game program will start at the stadium and continue until the time of the kick-off at 1 p.m.
Football Queen to be Chosen
The varsity football queen for the Homecoming celebration will be selected by the varsity football team by Tuesday. The queen will be selected from a list of candidates representing the Hill sororities.

Dr. Burdick Tells Young Journalists Influence of Press Today Is Great
Dignity of Puff Pant Prom Upset by Arrival of Cambridge Debaters
Amidst feminine and pseudo-feminine obs and abs, two real 'he-men walked into the Puff Pant Prom Friday night received the warmest kind of welcome.
Officers for the Kansas Council of Teachers of Journalism and Kansas Interelastic Press Association were elected at the concluding sessions of the fifteenth annual conference yesterday. High school editors attended the round-table sessions where faculty members of the department of journalism presided. Teachers of high school journalism presented papers before other instructors in their conference sessions. The delegates attended the Kansas-Iowa State game following the two-day conference.
Paul M. Johnson of Arkansas City was chosen president of the Kansas Council of Teachers Journalism Other officers elected are: W. M. Moore of Parsons, vice president; and Helen Reardon of Leavenworth, secretary-treasurer. It was decided that the same officers would be retained for the K.L. P.A. The present president is from the Topeka high school, and the editor of the Parsons high school paper is vice president of the association.
At the dinner held for the editors Friday evening, Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice president of the University faculties, in the absence of Chancellor E. H. Lindley, welcomed the visiting high school journalists. He recalled that 50 years before he was in school his college started a student paper the Philippian.
Speaking further Dr. Burdick sait 'We formerly spoke of three great influences in public affairs, the church, the school, and the press. Now, fewer persons are being influenced by the media, and we are under the influence of newspapers.'
Burdick Welcomes Editors
The women spent a bad half hour trying to decide whether they were really authentic. While they were wasting time making up their minds, the two debaters gave all the girls a big whirl in the best English manner, don't you know? When the sweet young things felt themselves grasped firmly in real masculine arms for a change after having suffered in the fish-like embrace of their "dates" all evening, they completely lost their heads and started giggling and flirting in the best American manner, Who, me? One poor misguided
"There is nothing in human experience that the newspaper does not draw on for its material, and it demands of us a courage to be honest, honest,
tone that the newspaper does not demand on for its material, and it demands of its workers the highest degree of character, honesty, probity, and justice." At one of the instructors' round-tables, Miss Annie Hopkins, instructor journalist at Dickinson County community high school stressed the importance of students being on current events of the day when she spoke on "Keeping Abastof the Times." She recommended the reading of the magazine "Current Events" in order that students become more familiar with prominent figures and more interested in the reading of newspapers in general.
Other Instructors Speak
Other round-table leaders were Casie Fern Jones, Wellington, who spoke on "Putting Out the Magazine"; Miss Lucy Burns who had as her subject, "Teaching the Editorial," and W. M. Moore who spoke on "Training the Business Staff."
Other Instructors Speak
After a reception in the louge of the Union building given in their honor, the Cambridge debaters were urged by some practical jokers to go on upstairs where they could observe the proceedings. Partly through curiosity and panny through ignorance, they went up.
Mrs. Hazel Pullman gave a report of the two National Scholastic Press association meetings. She said that 700 persons attended the recent meeting in Atlanta and that about 1000 delegates were at the Chicago convention.
soul thought she was daming with the Prince of Wales and is still suffering unmercifully.
At last, with all their womanly, or was is manly ire aroused, the "dates" decided to gang the intruders. However, they miscalculated their amassed strength or rather misjudged their opponents'. One of the lads started swinging a hefty left in the best professional boxing manner (which proves debaters to be too brave). The men felt themselves to be vanquished. They covered up their defeat as best they could by falling back to leave a narrow passageway to the door.
In silence, but with the greatest dignity, the two debaters took each other's
The two Cambridge men later declared they were "fascinated." They are seriously considering introducing such an idea into England and left their hands over the girls so they can write all the particulars of such affairs to them. Oh, yeah?

Chalice Subject of Talk
Ancient Communion Cup Will be Lectured on by After
The Antioch challenge, a communion cup that was buried in the sacking of Antioch about the fourth or fifth century, and which was exhibited at the recent world's fair in Chicago, is to be the subject of the lecture by Dr. Dinsmore Alter, professor of astronomy, which will be given this morning at 9:30 in the college class room of the First Presbyterian Church, which will be accompanied by a series of lantern slides from the pictures of the relied work on the outer cup.
The cup was found in 1910 and has been examined by Dr. Gustav Eisen, noted biologist and archeologist of the history of sciences, in San Francisco, Calif.
The chalice is really two cups, the outer cup being a wonderful piece of deep silver relief work of two figures of women, all of which has been definitely established.
The outer cup, quite definitely made in the first century, was no doubt for the purpose of protecting a very crude silver inner cup. It is because of the crude-ness of this inner cup that the term "body" has been connected with the chalice.
The Antichoch chieuse is by far the oldest relic of the kind in existence. The proofs of the authenticity of the cup are said to be absolute.
W.Y.C.A. Tea Planned for Today
The industrial and service committee of W.Y.C.A. will hold a tea this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Henley house, for discussion of a project of recreation among junior high school girls.

By Merle Heryford
Kansan Sports Editor
Paced by Manning, White, and Ole Nesmith, the University of Kansas Jayhawkers ran and passed their way to a decisive 20 to 6 victory over the Iowa State College Cyclones here yesterday afternoon. Behind a line that clicked mechanically the Kansas backs put on a brilliant demonstration of power and speed that kept the small crowd on its toes most of the time.
Before the game was three minutes old the Jayhawkers had scored a touchdown on a 30-yard pass from Manning to Casini, and O'Neil had kicked the extra point. The touchdown play was the second called by the Kansans after they had recovered an Iowa State fumble on the Cyclone 35-yard line a moment earlier. Casini caught the ball just as he raced over the goal line.
Score In Last Half
The other Kansas touchdowns came in the third and fourth quarters. Duplicating, in point of time at least, the first touchdown, the second came when scarcely three minutes of the third quarter had elapsed. White intercepted a Cyclone pass on the 50-yard line and returned to the Iowa State 40-yard marker. A scrimmage play failed to gain, and then White took the ball around end for a touchdown after breaking away from four or five Cyclone tacklers. Nesmith added the extra point from placement.
The last touchdown like the second came on a 40 yard run. Neumith, starting out around end, cut back through tackle, barely escaped being run out of bounds on the west side of the field and into the play line. His kick from placement failed.
Cyclones Score With Long Run
The Iowa State touchdown was the result of another spectacular long run in the second quarter. Allender, versatile Cyclone halfback reversed his field and raced 50 yards for the score after being slowed up by tacklers at several points. The kick failed.
Although Manning's pass was responsible for the initial and winning touchdown, it was White and Ole Nesmith that were the real stars of the Kansas offensive. White who was substituted for Harris in the first half and who later played most of the last half was the Kansas spark plug. Possessed of speed and unusual passing ability, he bucked the Cyclone line for long gains, outspaced tacklers, and hurled deadly passes for gains.
Nesmith Good Line Plunger
Nesmith Good Line Finger
Nesmith was the surest of the line-
plungers. Twice he broke loose for
long gains of 40 yards or more, one of
them a touchdown. The other placed
the ball in scoring position on the Iowa
State ten yard line, but pass plays failed
to take it over.
For Iowa State there was one name,
Allender. The big halfback hurled
most of the passes, did the punting,
attended to the safety duties, scored the
lone Cyclone touchdown and nearly
counted with another.
Statistics show that the Jayhawkers made nearly twice as many yards from scrimmage and out-punted and out-passed their rivals.
