Famous Aviatrix Thrills Listeners With Personality
Large Audience Applauds Charm and Loveliness Shown by Amelia Earhart
By Julia Markham, c'35
Although listeners sat breathless on the edges of their chairs, it was not in her talk that Miss Earlah made her greatest personal triumph last night.
After "Flying for Fun," it was back-stage that she completely captivated those who were able to come within the sound of her voice. She patiently explained many things to a young amateur flyer who monopolized her immediately after she left the stage.
Her eagerness was what attracted most people. She is much more attractive in person than are the buoyantly grinning faces of her that have flashed from newspaper presses all over the world.
Draws Large Crowd
She had to leave for Des Moines immediately and could not accept an invitation by the Chancellor and Mrs. Lindley to stay overnight, nor sign autographs. But she bent over a rather crescent youngster who had crawled on a table behind her and told him that if he would write to her at Rye, New York, she would be glad to send him her autoright.
Miss Earhart probably drew more listeners from the fraternity and sorority belt than has any other speaker who has appeared on the lecture course. Notorious lecture-missers, their attendance might be partially explained by the convenience of being the glamor of a aviatrix in a 16-cylinder Franklin, or an interest in flying.
But after they came, they were under her spell. Backstage, a murmur of, "I'm she lovely," "I think she's darling." "She's swell," ran through the crowd, and continued in the various directions of the streams of people leaving the auditorium. Those who heard her seemed to take on some of her breathless quality for a little time afterwards. She made a hit.
Speeders Safer in Air
Of course the Phi Gams were there, especially a tall, blond man with a trick collar, who was especially solicitus of her welfare. Miss Earlart's father was married to the university and the chapter educated her at dinner last evening.
"Aapproximately 60 per cent of the success of any aviation expedition depends on the preparation—not only in checking of equipment but in the experience of the personnel," Miss Earhart explained in her lecture referring to her famous solo flight across the Arctic to her own personal satisfaction and not for any thing that it might contribute to aviation promotion.
Miss Earhart contends that if a speed of under 45 miles per hour is desired an automobile is safer, but above that mileage she says, "get into the air."
In regard to the woman's angle of aviation, she believes they have an important place. In the last three or four years their attitude has become much more positive and they said they constitute about 30 per cent of the total number of air passengers.
At the conclusion of her speech, Miss Earhart answered questions from the audience. She explained in answer to one query that she has had about 1500 hours in the air; and to another that she had used a land plane that she had caused the planet she believed that speed is the greatest safety factor in long distance flights.

Employment Drive a Success
ownpeople Are Becoming Student-
Help-Conscious, Says Elsworth
As the "Keep a Student in School Week" draws to a close, L. Ray Choate, the president of the Self-Supporting Students' association, announced that their drive to obtain employment for students has met with a great deal of success and co-operation.
The most important thing accomplished, according to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, is that the townspouse are becoming "student-help-conscious." "They are beginning to grasp the idea of giving their part-time jobs and work for room and board to Uni-Termini," Ellsworth said of their own education," he said. Ellsworth requested anyone knowing of any further chances for students to obtain employment to call the employment bureau, K. U. 175.
Not only have a great number of jobs been obtained for students immediately, but reports have been obtained of people who will later on give employment to students. Choate said. Lists of these possible employers have been compiled for information of the association's members.

Petition for Band Credit Must Await November Meeting
College Faculty Refers Request to Committee for Report at Later
The petition of the University of Kansas band for academic credit was read before the College faculty at its meeting last night and since the petition contained no reference to need for speedy action it was referred, as is customary, to the Administrative Committee "for report." In the ordinary course this report will be received at the November meeting of the College faculty.
The faculty adopted the report of the Senate committee on R.O.T.C., whereby students in the College may offer toward graduation 12 instead of 15 hours of R.O.T.C. courses. These 12 hours are distributed 2 each in the first two years and 4 each in the junior and senior year.
The question of removing some of these courses from the professional credit classification was referred back to the Administrative Committee. Major Koening explained that the cutting of the number of credit hours in the College made for uniformity throughout the University and also brought the University in line with credits offered in neighboring institutions.
On the recommendation of the committee the faculty re-elected Dr. Beulah Morrison as secretary for the coming year.
The request of the Fort Scott junior college for University credit for its orientation course was referred to the College Administrative committee.
The Senate recommendation that the College, along with other departments of the University, appoint a committee to study the question of exemptions on the basis of examination or written tests or of exemptions to be obtained on the basis of proficiency acquired outside the University was approved and Dean Brandt was authorized to appoint the committee.
A letter from Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts asking that College credit be given for senior courses in composition in addition to the junior courses now accredited was referred to the Administrative Committee, as was also the request of the department of mathematics for permission to arrange a 5-hour course designed especially for those students who wish to fill the mathematics group with one 5-hour course and who had 1 hour of high school algebra. The proposed course would include algebra, some trigonometry, and some problems applying these principles.
Chancellor Lindley presided at the meeting in the absence of Dean Brandi.
ENGINEERING LABORATORIES
The mechanical and electrical divisions of the engineering laboratories are being repainted and cleaned up in preparation for the convention of the Society for the Promotion of Electrical Engineering, to be held here Oct. 27-28.

Robert Taft, associate professor of chemistry, spoke in Toneka yesterday at the annual meeting of the Kansas Historical Society. His subject was "Pictorial History of Kansas." Among the slides he showed was one taken of a free state battery during the border war in 1856. This is reputed to be the oldest picture in Kansas. Other pictures depicted the growth of towns and settlements in Kansas.
The hydraulics laboratory, the other division in the building, was redecorated and painted last summer. In addition the classroom was enlarged and Professor J. O. Jones's office was changed to a more satisfactory arrangement.

Golden Hurricane to Unleash Power Against Jayhawks
Trick Plays Will Be Used by Henderson's Men in Grid Battle Saturday
Every indication points to the most bewilderingly versatile attack the Hurricane ever unleashed. Although many who saw the games with Oklahoma and Washburn said the attack then was as hard as the second, much more are known inform that a mere half of the available Henderson trick plays were used even once.
Tulaa, Okla., Oct. 18—(Special to the Kansas)—The University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane settled down feverishly to work out its 1933 football destiny this week as the all-important game with the Kansas University Jayhawka approaches.
"How many plays does that fellow Henderson have?" has been the puzzled query on many occasions in the press box at Tulsa football games. The answer is simple but indefinite. "More than any team could learn well in a season's play."
National attention will be directed toward Shelly stadium Saturday afternoon as Coach "Gloomy Gun" Henderson's strong grid array attempts to stop and defeat the "team that outplayed Notre Dame."
Three Triple Threat Men
And this is the first year since Henderson came to Tulsa nine years ago who that Tulsa has had the kind of players who can use even a majority of his plays successfully. He has the heaviest backfield he's had here, and one in which are three authentic triple-threat men. The Hurricane can face the Jayhawks with a veteran backfield, averaging 180 pounds, in spite of the 160-pound Roy Berry. Or the brilliant 190-pound sophomore follow, Tack Dennis, can be substituted for the veteran, Everett Day. And Dennis being a triple-threat of the first order, Tulsa would have all three of the versatile players in at once. For Frank Greene and Berry can punt and pass as well as run the line and ends, and all three can kick from placement.
Reserve Power Strong
Tulsa has had as good running backs fields as this before, perhaps, but not replacements that could hold their own when a starting back needed rest. This year they are available. There is Howard Clarke, whose play in Berry's position at Washburn showed him ready for big-time competition. There is Woody Estell, whose running, blocking and pass-catching were features of the Oklahoma game.
Then there's little Joe Kahl, faster than Berry, who raced to a touchdown that was called back after he made 22 yards over the Washburn goal line. And Harold Wieckersham, blocker and defensive half back extraordinary, who stepped into the veteran Pad Lentz' drive from the touchdown drive against Washburn and Pia Lolette, a light fast back who can pass left-handed.
So Hurricane fans expect fireworks of the most brilliant and varied kind when the Hurricane sweops down on the Jayhawk here this week. And although none is predicting a victory over the powerful Kansans, everyone expects the most spectacular game in local history.
