HIGH SCHOOL EDITORS CONVENE TODAY
Fifteenth Annual Meeting Attracts 250 to University
Delegates Represent 41 Kansas Towns; Roundtable Discussions Under Way
The fifteenth annual high school newspaper conference got under way with the registration of delegates in the news room of the Journalism building at 9 a.m. today. Early this afternoon the number registering had reached 132 girls, 81 boys, and 38 instructors. Forty-one schools are represented.
William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, addressed the conference this morning, on "The Press In Europe."
"Many countries have throttled the press because of the conditions of democracy. Practically no country east of Germany has freedom of the pass as we know it. The reason is that so many dictators have come into power. They control both the news and editorial opinion. The system might be called 'government by leadership,'" said Mr. White.
Russian Famine News Stiffed
“At present,” Mr. White continued, “practically no one knows of the famine that has existed in Russia for the last 18 months, simply because American reporters and others were not allowed to go out and get news until just the last 60 days. Then their reports were censored and they were not allowed to use the word famine. They were, however, able to get the report by, by phrasing it, ‘increased rate of mortality due to malnutrition.’
General Background Necessary
"What We Expect of You" was the subject treated this afternoon by W. A. Bailey, editor of the Kansas City Kansean, in an address to the conference of Kansas high school editors at 1:30 in Fraser theater.
Mr. Bailey addressed his remarks mainly to the teachers in the audience, "Give your students a good general background, not only of English literature and composition," he urged, "but also in history, science, and economics. They will make use of this body of knowledge which qualifies journalism as a profession, every week of their careers as newspaper workers."
Objection to Radio Natural
Mr. Bailey also spoke at a session this morning on "Radios and the Newspaper." "Radio was babied through it infancy by the newspapers and these papers even gave generously space in their columns to radio news," he said. "News, however, the papers have not covered this advertising unless it is paid for."
"Also the radio has been broadcasting much news and it was natural that the newspaper should object to that. A resolution recently adopted by the news service prohibited broadcasting stations from sending out news dispatched by this service. The only exception was for news flashes of not more than 30 words, and the station must pay the news bureau for that privilege. In cases where the newspaper owned its own station the paper had to pay an extra amount for broadcasting the material of the news service."
The annual dinner will be held this evening in the cafeteria where the thirty-first year of journalism instruction in the University will be celebrated. An informal program of music, art tattoos, and other features is scheduled.
At 7:30 the famous trial of Peter Zenger will be staged in Fraser theater Delegates may attend the Internationale debate at 8:15 this evening between Cambridge and the University of Kansas in Fraser theater.

Religious Topics Discussed
Lunchroom Forum Hears Viewpoints of Three Religions
Father Ross, of Virginia University,
Rabbi Lazaron, of Maryland, and Rev
Everette Clinchy, of New York City,
spoke on the viewpoints of their respective religions at the Forum Lunch-
en club meeting today at noon.
Father Ross spoke on "National Council of Jews and Christians" in which he said, "Prejudices do exist and sometimes are aggregating in waves of bigotry, but a group may meet and talk over its troubles, bringing things to light which cause trouble to disappear.
These talks were a series of an "All-American Tour" by their three to emphasize the freedom of the Americans and to show that three men of different religious beliefs could be the best of friends.
The Reverend Everett Clinchy was the next speaker and he asked Father Ross if he would like to see a Catholic President, to which Father Ross replied, "I would like to see an American president who is a Catholic but not a Catholic President."
J. R Penner, grandfather of Catherine Penner, c36, Lawrence Penner, c34, and Elliot Penner, 31, died at his home in DeSoto Thursday morning. Mr. Penner was 75 years old, and seven weeks ago he celebrated with his wife, their golden wedding anniversary.
Rabbi Lazaron said "If one has sincere religious faith, and lives up to its ideals, there would need be no friction."

'Present Russia Improves Past,' Declares White
Communism Levels Stand ard of Living, Which Is Still Below American Plane
"Russia, following 15 years of living under a low standard, is ready to move to the next higher strata, a level not yet the equal of our own, but somewhat higher than that of the middle Europe, will move to Russia." Russia moves she will move as a unit.
"The present Russian government is here to stay," declared William Allen White, veteran Kansas editor, speaking this noon to members of the University faculty at a luncheon at the University club. Mr. White, who has just returned from an extended tour of Russia, told his audience of his reactions to our experiment and following his address, conducted a question forum.
"I think that one definite accomplishment of communism in Russia has been the spread of the standard of living. The difference between the very rich and the very poor is immeasurably less than it is in capitalistic nations." Mr White continued, "Their standard of living, however, is now lower than Americans could be forced to endure without revolution."
Living Standards Leveled
Explaining that Russia, at the time of the Communist revolt, was without capital, Mr. White declared that the burden of supplying the capital for the first ten years of communism had been met. As a result, most products were taken and sold to build Russia into an industrial nation, and it was the peasant farmer who suffered.
Family Weakened Incidentally
"That industrial building," Mr. Wnse said, "has thus far taken the form of getting machines to make machines, but now the Russians are ready to use the machines they have made, and to start production of commodities."
The fact that women in Russia are forced to work outside the home has weakened the family as an institution, Mr. White pointed out. "I do not believe, however," he continued, "that it is the intention of the Russian philosophy to weaken family ties. That comes merely as an incident to the main goal, the building of a communist state."
Another Move Coming
Predicting that the next great use of Communism would come when the next higher strata of living would be reached, the speaker expressed the opinion that when the Russian people with a better standard of living and more leisure time, were able to turn their attention toward the rest of the world and its manner of living, that the communist experiment would be faced with the necessity of justifying itself in the eyes of its people.
More than 150 members of the University faculty attended the luncheon Mr. Covee speaks this evening in Kan-州, meeting of the Missouri Press Association.

Large Crowd at Lecture
Sara G. Laird's Talk on "Lamb's London"
*Very Well Attended*
Nearly 200 people attended a lecture entitled "Lamb's London" given by Sara G. Laird, professor of English, in room 206 Fraser hall yesterday at 4:30 p.m. The lecture was open to the public, and the guests included not only students and instructors of the English department, but also many guests from Lawrence who were interested in the subject discussed.
During her leave of absence from University duties four years ago, Miss Laird spent several months exploring the old haunts of Charles and Mary Lamb. She illustrated her talk with pictures of Lamb and the London which he mentions in his literature. The personal touch added by the lecturer's actual edge of points discussed was a feature, which held the audience's attention.

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 17—(UP)—Witt the championship already won by Nebraska and only two conference games scheduled, the Big Six football season will near an end tomorrow.
Kansas State will play Oklahoma at Manhattan in the most important game as far as the conference standing is concerned. They are now tied for second place with three games won and one lost.
Iowa State and Kansas will meet at Lawrence in the other conference con-
The game at Manhattan will close the Big Six season for Both Kansas State and Oklahoma, and the only remaining Big Six game will be the Missouri-Kansas classic scheduled for Nov. 30 at Lawrence.
Nebraska, Big Six champion for the third successive time, will play Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh in an important intersectional contest. Nebraska is still unbenust and untied, and considerable contest has been aroused in the context.
Missouri, at the bottom of the Big Six standing, will renew an old rivalry with Washington University at St. Louis. The teams first meet in 1890, the first intercollegiate football game played by Missouri.
All teams, however, have several intersectional games remaining on their schedules.
Dr. Allen Remembers Past Football Dreams on Eve of Birthday
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, is in a particularly retrospective mood today. On the eve of his forty-first birthday he is finding it pleasant to let his mind drift back to the sports seasons that have been significant to him. Dr. F. C. Allen, coach of football games, he remembers another famous meeting between the two teams.
Thirteen years ago, Iowa State came to Lawrence with as bright an array of material as it had had for some seasons. It was on the night before this game that Dr. Allen had one of his two famous prophetic dreams. He dreamed that he saw an airplane sail over the field during the game, and in it were John Bum, "Dutch" Lornburg, Wint Smith, and Harley Little. Dr. Allen took that as a symbol that Kansas would sail away with the victory next day.
Following their coaches advice, next day the Jayhawkers come to receive. Kenny Welsh, dimutive Jayhawker fullback, ran back the kick- off 25 yards. On the next play, Little took the ball down and cut down and the only score of the game.
Later the same years, Dr. Allen's dreams came true when Kansas fought back in the second half to tie Nebraska 30, just as he had dreamed they would.
For many reasons, Dr. Allen has had a more romantic dreams.
But there are other memories. Seventeen years ago, Dr. Allen coached Warburgens Teachers, and on his thirty-first birthday his team handed him a 31 to 0 victory over St. Louis University, just a point for each year.
Dr. Allen is afraid 48 points are too much to expect tomorrow.

Cold Prevention to Be Experiment Tried by Hospital
New Gargle to Be Used by Students Volunteering for Scientific
Tests
The pharmaceutical laboratory, which has its headquarters in New York and branch divisions in various parts of the United States and Europe, will supply the gargle in return for scientific information received.
In an attempt to prevent common colds among the University students, Dr. R. I. Cautenos, director of the student health service, is issuing a call for between 100 and 200 students who have at least two or three colds during the winter to report voluntarily to the dispensary for record information.
These students will be given a gargle and an experiment will be carried out to determine whether its use will eliminate colds or reduce the number of them. All that will be asked of the students is that they use the gargle once a day and report to the hospital occasionally.
Caused by Virus
Cause by Virus
"Common colds rank at the head of the list of disabling diseases," Dr. Caunnteson said, "recent studies bear out theories that it is caused by a filterable virus, probably produced by bacteria already existing in the respiratory tract."
During the year 1932-33, health records at the dispensary show that from 2738 students reporting for treatment the doctors saw 3850 cases of colds. Some students reported as many as three times for treatment of colds through the year. Of this group 330 were in the hospital for a total of 1000 days. The remainder or 3520 of the students, missed 4000 class periods.
An experiment of this sort is now being carried out by Dr. D. F. Smiley, medical director of Cornell University, Dr. Smiley has selected 60 students and 60 faculty members who use the gargle every day and make note of each application on printed slips. At the end of three weeks, each individual reports to the director as to whether or not he has had a cold. If any individual notices symptoms of pharyngitis or coryza, he will note this and at the same time use the gargle more frequently.
To Act As Controls
A third group of 60 students having the same history of susceptibility to cold, will be followed at the same time and will make their reports every three weeks.
Dr. Arthur F. Coca, who represents the pharmaceutical laboratory that will furnish the gargle, is editor of Journal of Immunology, as secretary of the Immunology society and was formerly a member of the subject at Cornell University.
Any student interested in co-operation with the test is asked to report as soon as possible so that the record of colds may be investigated and he can receive information regarding the test. Unless a sufficient number arrange to take the test it will not be worth the effort, Dr. Cansuten said.
Rifle Team Scores Wanted
First Elimination to Start Soon, Says Rowen Longshore
At a meeting of the women's rife team last night in the Fowler shops the women were asked by Rowena Long-shorn, captain, to turn in their scores politically work so that the first elimination might be made Friday, Nov. 22.
Each woman is rated according to her improvement during the preliminary instruction which extends over a six week period, followed by elimination comes four weeks later.
Intercollegiate matches will begin about the middle of February and close the last of March. Tentative arrangements have been made for matches with the following schools: University of Missouri, Washington University of St. Louis, University of Maryland, University of South Dakota, University of Michigan, University of Vermont, Kansas State College, Carnegie Tech, and Ripon University of Wisconsin.
The men's team will start eliminations after the women have completed them.
Guild Demonstrated Magic
Professor F. H. Guild, of the political science department at the University, was in Topeka yesterday to give a demonstration of magic before the House of Representatives. There is an entertainment program for the house of representatives every day just before the afternoon sessions beating.
