Economics Group Confers to Study Current Problems
Outlook for Agriculture in Any Direction Not Promising, Ise Declares
Thirty or more instructors in economics from a dozen Kansas colleges, and members of the technical committee of the Governor's Economic council, spent Friday and Saturday here at the University considering research problems, and made progress toward formulation of a program whereby duplication of effort may be eliminated. P. T. Stockton, president of the University of Business, presided at the meeting.
Problems of taxation, farm relief, banking, and agriculture were discussed by those present.
Information regarding the number and location of closed banks in Kansas was laid before the meeting, and was followed by discussion by Dean Stockton, and by W. H. Spencer, dean of the University Business of the University of Chicago.
Dean Spencer declared national control of banking is inevitable, but some speakers expressed the belief that small banks, necessary for the business of smaller communities, may possibly continue under state control.
A at a meeting of the sub-committee or agriculture held Friday afternoon, John L. professor of economics, spoke on agricultural Adjustment Administration."
"The A.A.A. does not attack the real problem of maldistribution of wealth," Professor Ise declared. "There is no promising outlook for agriculture in any direction at the present. Unless there is a change we will be headed toward peasant farming. Why destroy wealth by allowing land to lie idle when we could trade it off for something we need and ought to have? We are deliberately planning a poorer life when we should utilize the resources at our disposal. Effect a discriminate use of land instead of making farmers leave some land idle. The government might buy up part of the undeveloped land and re-forest and cultivate it, thus employing more people and producing more wealth."

The conference of instructors will meet next year at Manhattan, it was decided at the meeting.

Press Regulation Under NRA Codes Is Editors' Theme
Roundtable Groups Discuss Tugwell Advertising Bill in Several Meetings
Effects of NRA regulations on the press proved one of the central subjects for discussion at the annual Kansas Newspaper Roundtables, held at the University this week end under the direction of the department of journalism.
That, and the Tugwell advertising advertising bill were declared by some to be menaces to prospective advertising, while other speakers held that as long as people had desires there would be need for advertising.
Henry J. Allen, publisher of Wichita and recently returned from Russia, was the principal speaker. He said he believed the United States should resume diplomatic relations with that country, as the Russians are now "United States-minded," ready to buy American goods.
Charles Younggreen, of Chicago, former president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, told the editorial force that restores public confidence.
Restores Public Confidence
Restores Public Confidence Regarding Germany, Mr. Allen predicted a change there shortly, either in the form of a revolution, or of war with France, Russia, too, he said, nears wa with Japan.
Don D. Davis of Kansas City, Mo., president of WHB declared that while broadcasting had cut in on the issuance of "extras" by newspapers, it at the same time created greater interest in the scenes of the news, making it necessary to buy newspapers. Entertainment is the principal field of the radio, he said.
Will Convene at Wichita
ATTEND HASKELL DINNER
“There are about 2,200 boys in this state drawing salaries of $30 a month, as a result of the government conservation project,” the speaker stated, “and they are on the whole a pretty contented group. The first of these camps, he told his audience, at East Pittsburgh, and since then there have been several others established.
Clint Craig, of the Pleasanton Observer Enterprise, was chairman of the discussion at the Weekly Roundtables. The question, "Should a paper run all items sent in by country correspondents?" was discussed. The material should be edited as it creates interest in the community, but the amount edited depends on the number of people available if you have correspondents, cities, correct their mistakes and tell them how they can improve, it was brought out in the discussion.
The directors of the Kansas Press n-association, meeting late Friday, decided the 1324 convention of that organization shall be held Jan. 19 and 20 at Wichita. G.R. Atherton, a member of the Forestry, Fish, and Game commission of Kansas, addressed the editors on the subject of the "Reforestation Camps of Kansas."
Oscar Rose, of the Lyndon Herald, discussed the question of "Freedom of the Press." In the proposed newspaper NRA code, there will be a commission which will have the right and authority to grant licenses to publish newspapers. "Mandates of the commission may be enforced by ratification of the license," she said. The license is a newspaper dictator it would not be, and there shall be a Free-Press. If the license is put into effect and there is not a liberal dictator it will be a serious offense, as newspaper men would be denied criticism of political happenings."
Rose Discusses Question
This is a serious threat to the American people not only to the newspapers, and must be given time and thought. It requires you to get newspapers to get personal contact and print material to educate the public against danger to their liberty.

Freshmen Find Out About College at First Hallowe'en Varsity
The party was dignified with the title "Hallowe'en Varsity," but dignity ended with the title. Amid the agrarian splendor, left over from the game of chess, the dancers tripped fantastically over huddled shucks of corn.
K-AGGIE PASS BRINGS 6-0 VICTORY
The threatening clouds of approaching mid-semester quizzes were forgotten by the students. The price of hogs fell from the minds of the visitors from Kansas' far-flung counties. Stock and bond quotations were of no importance to guests from the cities.
Climaxing a hectic day, Bill Phipps's band and his trio stars, Red Black Milk squeezed them in until the stags were well high pucked among the corn shucks. At midnight, they called it a day. In fact some went even further and called it a—well day!

Crowd of 17,000 Watches Kansas Lose Big Six Tilt
Wildcats Intercept Tosses in Final Period to Halt Scoring Drive by Jayhawkers
By Theno Graves Kansan Sports Editor
Under perfect football weather and before a crowd of 17,000, the Kansas Aggies took advantage of the breaks yesterday afternoon to wip from the Jayhawkers by a score of 6-9. It was a pass, Lee Morgan to Oron Stoner early in the second half that gave the McMillin men their points.
defend the south goal which gave the Jayhawkers advantage of the wind. During the first quarter Kansas played its best football, while the Aggies came back strong in the second quarter. All during the first half neither team seemed to hold much of an advantage. Coe, a former starter, was an inspiring talk during the intermission, for soon after the third quarter started they punted to Kansas' one-yard line, where Dumm kicked back to Stoner, who motioned for a faint catch, but was tackled by several Kansas men. Kansas, because of this play, was penalized 15 yards to place the ball on their own 9-yard line, with the Aggies in possession. After a try at the line which failed to gain, Morgan stepped back to the 20-yard line and dropped a perfect pass into the waiting arms of Stoner. Grilling was sent in to kick for point but failed when the ball went wide.
Kansans Held for Downs
After the six points had been scored, the Jayhawks seemed to realize they had a ball game at hand, and then began to show a brand of football that looked good. After carrying the ball down the field to the Aggies 20-yard line the Kansas were held for dows and the opponent on another spurt, but it was short lived.
In the fourth quarter Kansas attempted to score by opening up on passes, only to find their attempts fruitless after the Kansas Staters intercepted passes on two occasions to kill the Jayhawks hopes. Russell and Weller made several good gains for the Aggies in the last few minutes of play. The game ended with the Aggies in possession of the ball in midfield.
The statistics show that each of the teams made seven first downs. Kansas made 125 yards from scrimmage for 95 for the Angies.
Kansas State presented a good line, and the play of Griffing and Flentrope was outstanding. Backs who carried the ball were Russell and Wesson were Russel, Stoner and Graham.
Tackles Played Well
Milo Clawson and Peter Mchringer, tackles for the Jayhawkers turned in a good game as did Dick Sklar, Frank Watkins, Zonnie Kvaternik, Dick O'Neil and Ernie Casini. Beach played his usual excellent defensive game. Peterson did a great job of ball lugging the short time he was in the game. Ole Nesmith and Fred Harris made several nice broken field runs.
Dan Blaine, Aggie end who was injured early in the first quarter of yesterday's game, did not suffer a fractured shoulder as was first suprapatients. He was the student hospital last night revealed that no bone had been broken.
