Band Not Striking Merely Petitioning for Consideration
K
izations
Members Ask for Same Recognition Granted to Similar Organ-
By Lawrence Penner, c 21
After oil the oil and crying of "strike" has died down and the smoke of the controversial war has cleared it will be discovered, much to the dismay of those who like "civil wolf" that the University band has merely petitioned the Administration of that same institution for the consideration of a number of points which the members of the band feel should be seriously considered and granted if possible.
The band is not striking. Instead the men are working through the proper channels to have their grievances heard. The band is loyal to the school as can best be shown by this honest, determined attempt to make membership in the band attractive enough to assure the quality and size that has been so characteristic of the organization here-tofore.
By Lawrence Penner, c34
Bandmen Play at Rallies
The band has ever been present at convoctures, rallies, and games, when certainly they would rather be seated beside their "best girls." On hot, stuffy days they donsed uniforms and smothered under the woolly heat emitted from their stoves. And they froze their ears and hands and tended the merry tune, "I'm a Jay-Jay-Jay-hawk," and apparently were proud of it—and for what?
Once they gained gym credit and escaped the daily routine in stuffy gym classes. Gym was then compulsory and no credit toward graduation was given. Then came the change in which the band was made a victim of circumstances which changed gym to a credit non-compete counted hours course. The trade-points to credit. The incentive to band membership was thereby removed.
Work Similar to Other Groups
Work Similar to Other Groups too, other University activities of the same order as the band were receiving credit for their work. The nature of the band's work is the same as that of any other band, glee clubs, orchestras, church choirs, and so forth, with all the additional work thrown in. Besides being a concert band with its regular weekly rehearsals, concerts, and the like, the band must give extra service on call for almost any excuse for celebration in any kind of weather. On these grounds, the bandmen are asking for credit.
Asks for Co-operation
This is not a fight against the administration. It is a fight by the band for what it considers only a fair and satisfactory means to insure maintenance of one of the most desirable and patriotic institutions in the world—the University. It wants assurance that the old band tradition of loyalty and spirit to the University will be preserved.
The band must be continued and the members will fight for this cause as long as there is any hope because they realize that as things stand at the present time the band is gradually disintegrating.
They will never admit defeat but they cannot win alone. The administration has been petitioned and will do what it consciously can. There should be no need to petition the student body for help. The fact that there is no one bandman acting as agitator shows that it is a co-operative move. The band asks that same co-operation from everyone concerned.
They are striving to strike that spar which will flame into a drive, not onl the band, by the by the administration and student body as well, to bring the best band in the valley back into it own.
MAC SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED
Statement Is Issued to Allay Rumor Concerning Action
Members of the University issued an official statement yesterday afternoon saying that there had been a great deal of misunderstanding concerning reports published and rumored that Director J. C. McCanley was responsible for the petition issued on Tuesday, May 14th. Daily Kansan which carried the complete petition was the official report of the band.
The official statement made by Robert Slater for the band is as follows:
We want it clearly understood that we don't in the least appreciate and certainly will not tolerate such an unfair treatment of others, and be responsible for the entire content of
some of the articles printed, but "Mac" moss assuredly can not be blamed for even that small par. The fact is that he read the newspaper's accounts.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1933
We feel entirely justified in everything we have undertaken and believe we have done the proper channel. We want you who have grievances to come to us with them as we are solely and entirely responsible for what initiative has been taken.
The band did not play for the Freshman-Varsity game yesterday because its services were not solicited and its performance was not the outgrowth of the petition.
Efforts are being made at present by the Tulsa athletic management to have the University band there next week, and also for a parade earlier in the day.
Friday afternoon the University bank held a drill for the selection of student drum majors. Those selected were Dwight Bridges, Norton, and August Anneberg, Leavenworth. If the petition of the band is favored at the faculty meeting Tuesday, fittings for uniforms will be made at once.

Comedy Duo to Broadcast
Callahan and Patterson Will Begin
Skits over WREN
The Hill comedy team of Callahan and Patterson will go on the air tomorrow at 5:30 p. m. beginning the first of a series of 15 minute broadcasts every afternoon except Saturday and Sunday.
George Callahan, '31, former technical director of Fraser theater, has written the continuity for the script, which concerns two Arkansas hill billies. He will be assisted in the skis by James R. Patterson, 'c34.
Both Callahan and Patterson have appeared in numerous campus productions, singly and together. Callahan has directed the W. S. G. A. musical comedies for several years, including the 1932 edition.
This will not be the first time that the two comedians have appeared on a radio broadcast, but it will mark another series of regular continuity series of sketches.
"We are beginning with only two characters in the radio act, but we hope to make use of other Hill talent later," said Callahan. "As the story progresses we hope to bring in other characters from time to time."
Need More Employment for Successful Drive
Ellsworth Urges Additional Jobs Be Provided
"More co-operation is needed to make the 'Keep the Student in School' campaign a success," Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, stated yesterday. "The people solicited show an appreciation and a friendly spirit toward the campaign, but more jobs need to be provided for the present."
at Present
One real-estate man has offered a house-renting job to a student. Two men, at the suggestion of one of the faculty members, are going to collect tin cans and ashes once a week with a truck. Two other men are going to make and sell a gutter protection to a building contractor to investigate the development of a device to reduce the amount of gas used in a gas burner.
L. Wray Chatoe, president of the Self-Supporting Student association, states that so far none of the students have reported on their campaign cards to him. It seems that there are not many odd jobs at present, but the students soliciting in this campaign report that there is a very favorable attitude among those they see and more jobs promised for the future.
There will be a number of odd jobs offered during the next football games. Levine, the concession man, wants to work up about 20 men for his crew for the next game. The different flower shops will provide several jobs, also, like those in the stadium for the games. Any student who can arrange to work at these football games should arrange to do so with Fred Ellsworth or Choate.
Football Scores
A preliminary canvass of the business houses on Massachusetts street shows that there are over 200 students working on that street alone. This proves that the business man have already employed a number of students. In view of this, Chote states that, "We feel that in this emergency aid will be forthcoming and the students will not have to drop from school."
Approximately 35 working students attended the weiner room last night in the Daisy field. The group was accompanied by Fred Ellsworth and Mrs Bryant, assistant to the Dean of Women.

Varsity Reserves Defeat Freshmen in Practice Game
Only Yearling Touchdown Comes on Last Play; Veterans Score 20 Points
In a contest of straight football the varsity reserves defeated the freshmen team 20 to 7 this afternoon at the Memorial stadium. It was an even battle through the first quarter of the game, but the reserves pushed over a touchdown late in the second period and two more in the third quarter.
Then in the last six minutes of play, with a fresh backfield led by Hapgood, the freshmen marched 50 yards down the field, finally scoring on a pass from Hapgood to Kincard over the goal line in the last play of the game. Coody
Frosh Merits Tested
The main purpose of the game was to test the merits of the fresh and give the reserves experience under fire. The coaches were pleased with the work of the yearling backfield, mentioning especially John Warren, Bill Decker, Happgood, Glannangelo, and Lewis. In addition, Jimmie and Siegle played the entire game, as did Dees and Phelps for the reserves. cfBwGap-ehftmeg-
One of the features of the game was the run of Bob White, for the reserves, who covered 53 yards behind good interference. Fred Harris also made some runs during the first quarter. Bob White made two of the reserves' touchdowns and Bloomfield made the other. Brinkman missed the first try for point, while Kell converted the other two.
The game was restricted to straight football on the part of the reserves because of the presence of the Tulsa University team who played in Topka last night and stopped over for the game today. The Jayhawkers play Tulsa next week and Coach Lindsey did not allow the reserves to attempt a single pass although the team completed nine passes for good yardage.

The play of the reserves was marred with many fouls which drew penalties totaling 77 yards.

Famous Aviatrix to Arrive by Car for Lecture Here
Amelia Earhart Will Open University Lyceum Course Tuesday Evening
Miss Eaarth has been accorded enthusiastic receptions at home and abroad. She has received honors from England, France, Italy, and Belgium. In Rome she was received by Mussolini, in and Brussels the King and Queen of th Belgians honored her. In the United States she was accorded the Gold Medal of the National Geographic society, and President Hoover, by special resolution of Congress, bestowed upon her the Distinguished Flying Cross, the first woman to be so honored.
When Amelia Earlhard arrives in Lawrence to open the lecture course at the University Auditorium next Tuesday night she will step out from behind the wheel of a 16-cylinder Franklin instead of crawling from the cooktop of a plane. The world's foremost aviatrix uses a car to make short flights from London to Paris, abandoning the mode of travel she has helped to make famous.
Previous to crossing the Atlantic she was a member of the staff of Dennis House, settlement center in Boston, where she had charge of girls' activities. Since then she has been aviation editor of Cosmopolitan magazine and has written many articles. She is also the author of two books. The first, "Twenty Hours and Forty Minutes," is a description of the "Friendship" flight. Her second book is called "The Fun of It."
Miss Earhart is prominent in aviation circles. She is vice-president of the National Aeronautical Association and has been identified with many aviation activities. She co-operated in the founding of an air-line between New York and Washington and is now vice-president of the organization. Miss Earhart is a member of the National Contest Committee and of many other committees having to do with aviation education.
In private life, Miss Earbart is the wife of George Palmer Putnam, New York publisher, explorer, and author. Her father, Edwin Earbart, was graduated from the School of Law in '89, and she is now with Gianmario Gamma. The local fraternity will participate with a dinner Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Earbart.
GAZETTE LAUDS EARHART
Editorial in Emporia Paper Recommends Talk on Aviation
Amelia Earhart is not just another celebrity to the Emporia Gazette as witness the following editorial. William Allen White, the Gazette's famous editor, never knew Miss Earhart, (he once wrote) but he attended school here at the University with the famous flever's parents.
Aviation, better than any other one thing, represents the speed, the daring, the scientific accuracy, the amazing disruption of this generation. And Amelia Earhart,
So when Amelia Earlhart, the world's most famous aviatrix and one of the world's best known women comes to Emporia Friday evening to give her address on "Flying for Fun," in the Lowery Building. This is this town will see and hear the most modern thing going. Incidentally, the town will see a woman who is worth seeing, and hear aviation discussed in entertaining terms by one who was visiting the city, typically any place an airplane, guided by skill and knowledge can take a person.
Here is a show you shouldn't miss if you are interested in aviation—and who isn't? or if you get a kick out of seeing celebrities who really are celebrated or enjoying the thrills, give you one of the most interesting evenings of your life, whether you are a man or a woman, and it also will give you something to do and about. For Amelia Earhart is one of the most notated notables who ever came to town. The Women's City club is entitled to stick a large, curly, floaty balloon in its bonnet for bringing her here.
Devon Francis, who was graduated from the University in 1924, was the guest of Professor and Mrs. W. A. Dill for a few hours Friday evening. Mr. Francis has been working for the Associated press in Denver, Los Angeles, and other western cities, and was on his way to the Columbus office of the Associated Press.
