Many Applications for Ten-Cent Meal Made by Students
Permits to Be Granted or Basis of Scholarship as Well as Actual Need
Approximately 60 students interested in the "scholarship meal plan" proposed by Chancellor E. H. Lindley have made application to Henry Werner, men's student advisor; Miss Agnes Husband, dean of women; and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, Mr. Werner announced today.
NUMBER IS LIMITED
"The plan is strictly limited to men and women students who under the prevailing circumstances would be unable to attend the University unless assisted by the proposed plan," Mr. Werner said.
The plan provides that from 50 to 75 worthy students who would otherwise be unable to remain in school will be placed on the second week at an average cost of 10 cents each. Meals would be served on the third floor of the Memorial Union building, in a room large enough to please social life during meal times.
Although the University of Kansas has never used a plan of this nature before, the University of Wisconsin and the University of Missouri have found similar arrangements successful.
In considering the applications, scholarship, as well as need, is to be considered. Students who are not making suitable progress in their studies will not be considered in the selection, but this is a project to enable students of proper studious habits to continue their education.
Students wishing to avail themselves of this service are advised to make application on or before Monday, Feb. 6. Mrs. Elworthy, Mia Misshew, or Mr. Elworthy.
'Back-to-the-Farm' Movement Lead to Unusual Real Estate Conditions
Jump in Land Prices Seen
Emporia, Kan., Jan. 28 — (UP) “A back-to-the farm” movement when prices are so low that only a very few businesses can break even on their business has led to an unusual real estate condition in this part of Kansas.
Almost nobody is buying farms these days, according to the real estate dealers, but the demand for rental property is so great that rental prices have been shooting up. Good farm property cannot be sold because the prospective buyer wants to pay a fee, but they can't be 'rented' because the present tenants don't want to leave.
The farmers complain about their condition, but prospective renters find the farmer would rather stay on his place than to look for a livelihood somewhere else. This is not good because they desire to believe that a sudden jump in farm land prices will take place just as soon as business conditions improve.
Raleigh Macklin, e 33, Becomes Eligible for Training
Wins Air Corps Recognition
Raleigh Mackin, e33, was notified yesterday of his ability to enter training with the United States Air Corps. His application was accepted after he and passed all tests successfully at Pt. Leavenworth Mackin said.
Macklin was commissioned as spring from the engineer group of the University R. O. T. C. unit. He merited the title of "Honor Graduate," won the Chancellor's cup for leading the best drilled company in the military, his commission as a second lieutenant in the Engineer Reserves of Kannas.
The candidate went to Leavenworth last fall and passed all the requirements under the supervision of a regular army officer authorized by Washington, D. C., to give these tests. The application was then sent to the war department in Washington, D. C., for repositionment.
According to Macklin, the recognition crmse too late for him to make arrangements to attend the March term of encampment. He said, however, that he hopes to be able to attend the training camp at Randolph Field during the summer. Whether Macklin enters training this year will depend upon the appropriations that Congress makes for the AJ Corps and the training of cadets.

New Activity Plan May Be Presented for Student Vote
Objectionable Items in Old Ticket Will Probably Be Considered Singly
DETAILS INCOMPLETE
That a revised plan for the student activity ticket will in all probability be presented for the vote of the whole committee, and with the assistance of a statement by the joint committee on activities this morning. The new election, which will probably take place at the time of application, will provide developmental information for the councils.
At the last meeting of the Men's Student Council there was not a quorum present, therefore it would take no final action on the general activity plan. The men present felt that before the councils should take final action all the students should vote on a home-written revlan plan. Therefore they should attend the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. to conduct an election at the time of enrollment to supplement the information received by the first poll.
A revised plan will, in all probability, be presented which will allow the student body to vote on some of the objectionable items separately. Details have not been worked out yet, but will be discussed at Daily Kansan on Monday, Jan 14.
The joint committee on activities states that, "One thing it wants to make clear is that it is not its intention to keep any student out of school or prevent them from attending the few who might otherwise be forced to drop out. By the collective participation of the other students it can greatly reduce the cost of the activities. We will be approximately $8.75 with a separate vote allowed on the other items."

Japanese Defense Ready to Combat Possible Attacks
Sadao Araki, War Minister Admits Large Military Preparations for All Crises
JAPAN FEARS RUSSIA
Tokio, Jan. 26—(UP) Japan's national defense has been strengthened to meet "any emergency," Minister of War, Sadal Arakli, admitted during an interpolation in the house of peers today. His disclosure of recent attacks on the boat of the war minister's statement that Japan is striving to build a military force equal to that of Soviet Russia. In pointing out the need for adequate military equipment the war minister emphasized the recent statement by Josef Stalin that fulfillment of Soviet Russia's five-year plan had been hampered by the necessity of preparing nuclear weapons. The war minister warned, means that "Russia either expects Japan to attack or that Russia intends to attack Japan."
It was the first time Araki had opened discussion on Russia during his appearance before the diet to reply to interpolations. His remarks caused excited comment and recalled the war in 1904 between the Russko-Japanese战 in 1904 that Japan seize Siberia as a part of the Imperial Domain.
Without mentioning the prevalent fears in Japanese military circles of aerial attacks from Vladivostok on the Oka industrial area where the leading Japanese munition factories are located, he proposed Japan's present air defenses "insufficient." He recommended establishment of an air ministry. This suggestion was opposed by Minister of the Navy Minho Ooamu, who accompanied him to Tokyo, the home of peers. He cited the rejection of a similar idea in the United States.

Callahan Picks Actors Popular With Audience
Says Four Leads Are Sure to Gain Attention in Play Revival
Four of the actors in "Uncle Tom' Cabin," which will be presented this season's revival Feb. 7, 8, 9, by the University Dramatic club under the direction of Allen Crafton, are sure to attract attention according to George Callahan, the business manager of the Kansas Players.
*Elizabeth Crafton, James Patterson, Marcia Ritter, and James Christy*, runs the statement, "are certain to catch the attention of all who see Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery drama
Elizabeth Crafton, playing the role of little Eva, will be making her debut as an actress. During rehearsals she has shown that the others in scenes like "Hawks" are playing on their ties to play with her. Her performance will be fresh and interesting.
"James Patterson will have another comedy role in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." He is cast as the fighting, tobacco-chawin' Yankee who becomes a Quaker just to please a Quaker mason for whom he cares. His inability to handle the stereotypes while he acts like a Quaker provides plenty of comedy.
"Marcia Ritter, who plays the part of Topsy, will be remembered as the stuttering and grimming be-actress of the second scene of 'Maid in the Mist' (2013). She is given more of a chance to display her unusual talent for comedy. In James Christy, the Dramatic club has found a man who can play Uncle Pat McGee's son, but senses a voice that is unusual in its depth and sorthity. Christy will undoubtedly be a success after his first appearance, for he has had acting experience and knows how to get the role of both himself and the score he is in.
"The secretes between Elizabeth Craffon and James Christie as Eva and Uncle Trom will show why this old play has lived as lore as it has."
Tickets for "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be on sale beginning Feb. 3 in Green hall.
'State Should Create Jobs $ ^1 $
C. J. Beckman, State Commissioner o Labor, Addresses Economics Class
C. J. Beckman, state commissioner of labor, addressed in labor economics instructed by Domenico Gallardo, associate professor of economics, yesterday. He outlined the structure and functions of what he considered a creative department of labor for the state of Kansas.
The abolition of the present system of state employment agencies and the reestablishment of employment bureau in charge of local officials was recommended by Mr. Beckman. He would also add to the functions of the state department, which officiates the task of creating jobs and preparing for unemployment relief.
Mr. Beckman also urged the creation of a state safety engineer with power to inspect factories, mines, and other industries employing groups of men. An important part of the work of the safety officer is the formation of safety first movements among the industries of the state.

Drastic Reduction in State Expense Urged by Landon
Consolidation of Bureaus and Personnel Decrease Advocated in Program
THINKS OF TAX PAYER
Toppea, Jan. 28 — (UP) — Sweeping organizations in state government, standard to effect drastic reductions in expenditures and, at the same time, to improve security, were urged upon Kansai to be Kansas legislator by Governor Alf M. Landon.
Must Think of Tax Dollar
In his second special message to that body, the Republican executive launched a drive for consolidation and elimination of bureaucracy and commission of personnel and cuts in salaries and economy in city and county government.
Tersely, in simple, unadorned language, Landon demanded that the law-makers do their "duty" to a tax- burdened citizenry, at the same time, avoiding any curtailment of the legitimate functions of the state govern-
Must Think of Tax Dollar
"Every dollar spent by the state of Kansas is a tax dollar," he said, "whether direct or indirect means."
"The tax dollar represents hard work, worry, economy and saving and doing without on the part of some citizens.
"The state and its subdivisions should obtain one hundred cents of actual value for every one hundred cents spent.
"Let us faithfully, consciently and firmly attend to the state's busi-
ness," he said. "We should regard all pork kernel propositions,
provide what help is needed at reasonable salaries only, and see that the best values for every dollar spent."
Outlines Definite Program
The governor outlined for the legislators a definite program of consolidations and eliminations.
He painted a picture of waste and extravagance in the functions of many burcaes and commissions. He told a story of inspectors for different boards to see how they handled same day-one of them to see if it was clean, the other to see if it was safe. He told some inspecting boards, working on a fee basis, seeing in their income simply an opportunity to hire more inspectors, to collect still more records.
"Our state structure" explicaes Landon, as a preliminary to his specific recommendations, "in a structure of divisions, with divided responsibility."
Too Many Bureaus
"During the past decade there has been an increase in departments to regulate the different professions, trades, callings, and business activities. New bureau and paid inspectors resulted."
"In many instances these inspections, duties, and responsibilities are duplicated and overlapping.
"In a time of business chaos, such as new exists, we must be willing to face challenges and be willing to rate in cutting out unnecessary expenditures and in eliminating bad motive."
Must Use Economy as Base
"Government must continue, but we must carry forward on a solid basis of economy.
"Every business and every person in the nation has been compelled to reduce overhead and to retrench. Individuals are spending less money. The state must adopt this policy. It is important to us to consider where we can save."
The governor then dealt individually with his definite proposals toward these ends.
His suggestions included:
Combination under one department of the authority, duties, activities and responsibilities of the state oil inspector, state fire marshal, and hotel commissioner, and transfer to this new department of duties of the state treasurer "insofar as they pertain to enforcement of the cigarette law."
To Transfer Enforcement Duties
Transfer of the enforcement duties of the state vehicle commissioner and his inspectors to the state highway commission, and attachment of other duties of the vehicle commissioner to the new commissioners. Transfer to the highway department of the duties of the public service commission with respect to motor vehicles.
