Allen to Promote Campaign Against Booing at Games
K Men Will Co-operate in Preventing Ill-Mannered Treatment of Officials or Players
TO BEGIN SATURDAY
Concerned over the increase of booing at basketball games throughout the Big Six Conference, and fearful of the effect it will have on the popularity and merit of college basketball, Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletes and coach of basketball at the University, announced that his influence towards a campaign to eliminate this booing as much as possible.
As a first step toward clearing up the situation he is promoting a campaign to begin at home games here, where booing has been in evidence some, although not nearly to the extent that he has encountered it at some other Big Six schools this season, Dr. Allen said today.
K Club to Assist
The University of Kansas letter men in the K club, through a letter from William Clinton, president of the club and center on the basketball team, have been asked to wear their K sweaters and assemble at the Auditorium at 7:15 Saturday night prior to the Kansas-Iowa State basketball game to receive instructions to their part in the plan to aid in securing co-operation from the home crowd against bioshocks of officials or players. Harold Dent, presiding officer, will be interviewed by Dr. Allen to give any suggestions he may have to as how the general student body may cooperate in the new move.
To Give Talk Before Game
Fitting into this general plan to inaugurate a strict anti-booping campaign will be a three-minute demonstration of the basketball skills and forms that start of the game Saturday night. This demonstration will be made by Forrest Cox, assistant basketball coach, with Ed Elab of the physical education staff, explaining the demonstration over the loud speaker. Many spectators at basketball games do not exactly know the rules and cases and the demonstration is to acquaint everyone with some of the more usual fouls.
Dr. Allen made clear that the conduct of the crowds at games here had not been bad at all compared with action at other schools in the conference but said that even the attitude here could be improved.
"The increase of booing which has been noted this season and which has been allowed to go unrestrained at the commencement, will, if permitted to go unchallenged, ruin the game of basketball." Dr. Allen said. "Booing is bound to give youngsters at the game the idea that they are not being officials are incompetent. The fact that the crowd at basketball is close to the playing floor makes booing demonstrations more personal to the players and a more entertaining or instrumental than at some outdoor sports."

Japanese Threats May Involve U. S in Serious Dispute
Group of 1600 Islands Included in Mandate Given
by League to Japan
CONCERNED
Copyright, 1982, by the United Press Geneva, Feb. 15—(UPP)-Japan's threatened withdrawal from the League of Nations may involve the United States and other powers in a serious dispute with Japan over the 1,000-island archipelago, an invader of 2,500 miles cast and west between Japan and the United States.
The islands, formerly German, are held by Japan under mandates by the League of Nations acting as custodian to the victorious powers in the World War II.
Nobody in Genova believes Japan will relinquish the islands when she quits the League although she will have no legal right to retain them. The island's population is vast, and strategic reasons. They control American communications in the Far East.
The United States has never recognized the League mandate as giving the islands to Japan and theoretically still claims a share. It is considered possible that Washington would assist the League to repossess the islands. Britain also is vitally interested Australia and New Zealand have Pacific island mandates for territory, navy and side strongly with the United States which would almost force Britain to a firm stand against Japan.

Brailsford Gives Reason for Lack of Disarmament
NUMBER 102
English Lecturer Says, 'As Long as Nations Are Selfish They Will Not Disarm'
TELLS ABOUT JAPAN
"So long as the selfish people of still more selfish nation continue to have selfish interests in disarmament," declared H. N. Braisford in his lecture last night in the University Auditorium, "there will be no disarmment."
Braithold, author and lecturer from England whose speech concluded the University of Kansas lecture course, asked the audience, "Why Don't the Nations Disarm?" and then proceeded to answer his own question. For an hour and a half an audience listened to a man who has been connected with international affairs for many years, explain the reasons that Great Britain, in particular, did not help but did nothing but talk about disarming but took no steers to disarm.
'Talk to Kill Time'
"This talking is only used to kill time while each nation tries to think up ways in which to disarm the other fellow," Bräuland said, "and to disarm themselves as little as possible." Great Britain and the United States were involved in a recent explanation, he was better acquainted with the facts concerning these nations.
The League which has met at Geneva this month, he said will probably do nothing but prove to the world that there has been a breaking down of the war between the two sides, which are so essential for the maintenance of world peace. "They are met," he said, in the illumination of the fires of burning Shanghai. They will probably compare Shanghai with their own city, as to the ease with which it can be defeated. Japan a little note telling her that she must desist, for it is against the rules of the League to use armed force to gain one's ends. Then sit back any
Brailford said he was willing to wager that if the League had been composed of the nations who were neuronal, he would have been drastic action taken and Japan would have obeyed the rules that she herself helped to make. "One cannot," he went on, "expect nations who for navies and guns to maintain their boundaries, whose own past history cannot bear a close scrutiny, to invite that inspection by telling another nation she is using the wrong procedure."
Does Not Spare England
Braulford never once spared his own country and their interests. He admitted that Great Britain probably had scifftish motives for trying to add sentiment to the war, reducing the arms by one third. Great Britain advanced the idea of making battleships smaller instead of cutting down on the number. "I am perfectly sure," he said, "that Great Britain has new ideas for packing more instruments of murder inside a ship of about 10,000 miles even on a ship of 35,000 tons."
He then went on to point out that with the large number of fueling stations which the Empire possesses, there was a real need for more inexpensive* for Great Britain.
Following the speech several questions were asked pertaining to the Japanese question. He said that Japan with her naval bases so close to her own ships could "white" down any nation which attacked her, just so long however, as Japan's natural resources lasted.
Brialford addressed English majors and other interested students this morning at 11:30 in Fraser theater, speaking on the concept of progress as it has made itself apparent in modern times.

FOUR MONTHS
OF JAYHAWKER
WORK MISSING
Berkebile, Editor, Discloses Prank Which Has Caused Loss of Large Number of Prints
CANNOT BE REPLACED
Work of Engravers Has Been Stopped by Loss of Pictures
A prank that has been turned into a serious catastrophe was discussed today by John Berkebile, editor of the 1933 Jayhawk. Four months of careful work in photography of Hill personalities, scenes of football games, and early semester events were found missing Friday, Feb. 3.
On that Friday morning John Clark, the snap shot photographer for the Jayhawker, was to deliver four months of prints ready for the engravers. When Berkebile did not find those prints by Friday evening he called Clark and the photographer said he had dropped the newspaper through a window early Friday morning.
Since the windows of the Jayhawker office are always locked, Clark must have dropped the pictures into the michels and the W.G.S.A. book exchange.
Prints Not in Room
Berkley went immediately to that room but did not find the photographs. He began inquiries among those who had used the room that day and everyone said that he had not seen the plates in that room at anytime.
Berkley called Clark and the photographer agreed to make the entire group of prints over again and when he had not produced $8mm by last Friday Berkley called him again only to find that a water pipe had burst in and so the printer destroyed all the plates from which new prints could be made.
The majority of these plates cannot be replaced by the Jayhawk, accorded the positions of the mascots of football scenes and the football squad, certain committees and groups that meet only once or twice a year. The men's teams are at Roseale this semester.
Engravers Await Copy
This latest setback in the work of this year's book puts the Jayhawker at a loss. He has been asking for these prints for the past week and last night Berkebile bad to inform them of this latest mistreatment by stopping the work on the
Berklebe and John Rugh, business manager, made the following statement this morning: "We believe this to be a prank of some person who could not know the tight place in which he puts the Jayhawker. We are willing to give a liberal reward to anyone who returns the prints to the Jayhawker office. We will not ask any questions. If this prank is to disaffect his identity he may leave theprints anywhere in the Union building, such as the fountain, the main desk, or any other place where someone is likely to find them."
