Russia Will Expel 800,000 Persons From Large Cities
LAWRENCE. KANSAS. MONDAY. JANUARY 16, 1933
Expected to Involve One of Greatest Shiftings of Population in History
TO CLOSE BY APRIL 15
Moseley, Jan. 15—(UP)—One of the great shifts of population in history, expected to involve the expulsion of many African migrants and sian citizens before April 15, entered its first phase today. The move is aimed to drive "socially undesirable" people from the cities to places where they can work, as they are coal and lumber producing region
Every citizen will have to have a passport for identification and to show his occupation. The Council of People Commissars issued detailed instruction for enforcement of the decree obliging all persons to carry identification papers. Those who are refused identification are required to remain in 10 days at their own expense.
The instructions indicated that the first orders would be issued Jan. 20 and that the entire process must be completed by April 15. The transfer will impose a staggering problem on transportation facilities.
The first victims of the decree are expected to be the Kulaks (prospered peasants) former priests, merchants, aristocrats, private traders and others who do not contribute to the soviet industrial program.
CITIES GROW TOO FAST
Five-Year Plan Causes Housing Crises Chamberlin Says
"The decree by the Russian Coun-
of Peoples Commissars orders 800,
600 citizens to be the larger citie
of Russia, and to be given power to
arrest the abnormal growth of RUS-
IAN cities, "William Henry Chamberlain
former Russian Correspondent for the
Russian State Department.
In commenting on the expulsion of citizens from the cities, Chamberlin said that although the move seemed like a drastic step it was characteristic of the war time measures of the five year plan. "The government evidently felt that the overcrowding in the cities made the step necessary.
"Moscow and Leningrad," explained the former Russian correspondent, "have been growing at the rate of one-half million a year. This abnormal increase has been caused by the growth of industrial building brought by the five year plan. As a result of this increase in population, an acute housing condition has developed, as building has not kept pace with the rapid gain in population.
"Besides the housing condition in the cities, the migration has caused the people to neglect the fields. As a result the food production has been lessened, while the demand has been increased."
RUSSIAN EXPERT ARRIVES
The journalist summarized the whole situation when he said: "In pushing forward industrial development Russia has sacrificed its standard of living. The ordering of the people back to the fields is merely an attempt to strike a balance between production and demand."
Chamberlin Here for Community Lecture Tonight at 8:20
William Henry Chamberlin, foreign correspondent and author, arrived here this afternoon for his lecture tonight at 8:20 in the University auditorium.
.
As the fifth number on the community lecture course, Chamberlin will explain the economic aspects of the Soe Plan and balance the Balance Sheet of the Five Year Plan.
"Chamberlin comes here at an opportune time," said Professor F. H Guild, head of the department of political science. "Every one is talking about economic councils, and as Russia completed its first Five Year Plan as recent as Jan. 1 the lecture should be double interesting."
When the author-lecturer finishes his talk here tonight, he will leave for an engagement at Washington University in St. Louis. Chamberlin's schedule of lectures is said to call for an apology. He has not spoken. Even though he was contracted last summer to speak here, it was difficult to find an open date.
According to the students and faculty members who have heard Chamberlin speak before, he has an interview with the president in keepes his audience interested.

STUDENT PAPER IS TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD
Started as a Weekly Publication in 1889, Became a Semi-Weekly in 1904, Tri-Weekly in 1907
PRINTED DAILY IN 1912
Journalism Classes Began as an Experiment Under Professor Hopkins
The University Daily Kansan became of age today.
The University Kansan, a weekly publication, was founded in 1898 but died the following year. In September, 1904, the Kansan was published as a semi-weekly. This continued until May 15, 1907 when it became a tri-weekly, after which, on Jan. 16, 1912 it became a daily.
The publication which preceded the present paper but which were unable to survive were the Courier, the University Eastside, and the University News. The Courier and the University Fashion were published only one year after it was launched; in turn came the University News, a weekly, which lived until November, 1884.
No Active Writing at Time
When work in journalism first began in the University, the University had no printing plant, no newspaper, nor any money to finance such an undertaking. According to Dr E M Hoppe, the university is one of the most of the Hill publications come and go, the journalistic activity at this time consisted of a few students writing for an imaginary paper and later papers of Lawrence and Kansas City.
When Professor Hopkins came to the University in 1889 there were two publications, the University Review and the University Courier, rival publications. These papers were issued by students who had no supervision, who served in any way they could and who issued the paper at their own expense.
In about the year 1902, the country began to discuss schools of journalism. The University administration considered the idea and decided that the University should have such a department if it were possible.
Representative Publication Formed Later an effort was made to establish a representative publication. A University association was formed from the student body and its members elected the newspaper board.
Henry Allen, Ewing Herbert and other leading newspapermen of the state at that time were questioned and the first classes in journalism were begun as an experiment. Professor Hopkins, then head of the department of journalism, asked the students to ask asked to care for the newly installed department. In 1903, however, there was no newspaper for the classes to work upon, so the new department asked the University publishing association to transfer to that department, the management of the Kansan, that the publishing association did.
Call for Volunteers
were a dozen or so students who were not fierce well. The first year there were a dien or so students who were not fierce well. The next year the number for smaller and it was necessary to call for volunteer reporters from the freshman rhetoric
The Kansan organization, as handed down to the journalism classes, proved to be inadequate and the new board, under the supervision of stitutions, rules, bylaws, and so forth of several of the publications of Eastern universities. After this investigation the Kansan had its foundation on the work of Dr. Richard Harvard, and Princeston at that time.
After a few years, several changes in the journalism department were made. The journalism classes were transferred to the chairwoman of the State Board of Regents. He was assisted by Professor L. N. Flint, who was't this time alumni secretary and as such, had charge of the establishing of a printing plant at Columbia University.
Later the department was established with Merle Thorpe, present editor of the National's Business, as its head. He succeeded by Professor Flint in 1915.
