VICE-PRESIDENT CURTIS THREATENS TO THROW OUT 'HUNGER MARCHERS'
"These demands represent 15,000,000 unemployed workers in the United States and likewise the farmer. We haven't much confidence in you."
"I have come to one conclusion," stated Tad Yamada, one of the three Japanese boys who are on a good wifi tour, at the meeting of the International Relations club last night in the Central Administration auditorium, "and that is the unfriendly relations between Japan and Japan are due to the misunderstanding that is engendered by many agencies in both nations."
Washington, Dec. 6 —(UP) “The hunger marchers” laid their demands on the doorstep of congress today and incurred the wrath of Vice President Curts. Angry words were forthcoming after the marchers had moved on the capital in a peaceful two-mile parade.
Curtis rose from his chair, his face balanced with anger. For one time he shouted, "I'm going to leave." Then Curtis said, "Look here now, no reflections on me or I will put you out of the house."
The three Japanese students, Tadi Yamada, from the University of Japan, Tokio; Ranyuki Sumomiya, representing the Doshisha University at Kyoto; and Takao Kiyoshi, from the University in Tokyo are on a good will tour of the United States. They are traveling with Roger A. Pfiff, their adviser, and visit the colleges and Rotary Club in an effort to restore the feeling between Japan and the United States.

Clutch, A.M., with Mr. Mitchell, a delegate after which they were guests of the Rotary Club of Lawrence. They were visitors at the Mathematics club meeting in the afternoon and ended the day by speaking before the International Relations club in the Central Administration auditorium.
Rumors are being spread in both nations, Yamada explained, that the Americans intend to invade Japan sometime in the future, just as rumors suggest. In Japan is building up her military power solely for the purpose of making herself a world power in the Pacific ocean. "And this feeling will continue to exist," he went on, as long as we allow Japanese forces to lead the way in our national affairs."

reflections on me or I'll put you out of the door in a minute."
Yamada told of Japan's early history and the "Closed Door" policy which lasted from 1624 until 1853 when Commodore Peary entered the Japanese harbor and signed a treaty with the mikado of that nation. This was the first treaty, he said, that Japan ever concluded with an occident nation. From that time on, he added, there was no chance of a reunion until Japan reached its maturity in 1904 at which time it bested Russia in the Russo-Japanese War.
"The United States," he said, "refused to recognize our ability to take care of ourselves, and much misunderstanding and suspicion resulted. This unfriendly lasted until the World War when the soldiers from both nations fought against a common cause. After the war, the enemy feeling came into existence again.
Into the crowded office of the vice resident came a delegation of the archers headed by William Reynolds, resident of the unemployed council. mice stood guard around Curtis as tyroids began.

Students Produce 'Flu'
Symptoms With Red Hots
and Baked Potatoes
Wild rumors flying around the Hill past few days to the effect that Christmas vacation would begin early because of a bad "hil" epidemic, reminded members of the "permanent student body" of a similar situation several years ago. About the time of Christmas vacation, the student of the University "took to bed." Everybody was told to have a tempometer at 100 degrees Fahrenheit of getting a fever was used. Dog dogs and baked potatoes were eaten by the dozen, and proved to be the most popular form of obtaining the desired results.
School was dismissed ten days early that year—but that was four years ago
Classes had been resumed after the Thanksgiving vacation and the student hospital was filled to overflowing with students supposed to be suffering with a form of the "fat" or too much excitement that a large percentage of the student body had contracted the "disease" and that classes would be dismissed until after the Christmas holidays if there were as many cases as rumored. Word was received at the organized houses and the larger room at the school temperature when the health authorities visited the inmates that evening.
Holiday Hopes Crushed After Epidemic Denia

The Christmas holidays will start it week from next Saturday noon, as scheduled, it was announced today from the Chancellor's office. Nothing has occurred to justify rumors widely circulated that classes will be dismissed early because of an alleged flu epidemic.
"We had 29 patients in the hospital last night, and discharged 10 of them this morning. One day last week we had 39 patients in the hospital cases have been less than 35 Only two of all the flu cases we have had showed the least sign of complications, and in all cases the patients in the hospital only 24 to 74 hours.
"We have regular hospital space for 44 patients, and could easily take care of 60, if it were necessary.
"As a matter of fact, many of the patients we have had were kept at home until we could be more than because they needed hospitalization. By keeping them here, we gave them a needed rest, and at the same time prevented the spread of life-sustaining illness."
"We have the same difficulty that the library does," said Dr. Camestea. "Our customers come in large groups following the dismissal of classes, and it is sometimes a little while before at the moment of patients can be cleared."
Dr. Christensen said yesterday was a typical Monday, with a large run of dispensary patients, totalling 159 for the day.
Dr. Cuatnuez was asked if he had heard the reports that some of the fraternities were sending many paperwork to report the theory there is an epidemic.

Professor Skilton Explains the nine Numbers to Be Played by Famous Pianist
SECOND APPEARANCE
Joe Iitura, eminent Spanish pianist,
will appear for his second concert in
many years tomorrow evening at 8:20
in the University auditorium. This is
the fourth American tour Mr. Iitura
has made.
The following program will be presented:
"Caprice," for the departure of his beloved brother, (Bach-Gewässelfalt edition) (Bach); "Sonata in G minor; Opus 22. R (Schumann); "Variations on a theme of Paganin", (J. Brahms); "impromptu in A flat", (Schubert); "Brayences" (Debussy); Poisson d'or (Debussy); "Plains to La Maman"; "La Fete des Cygnes"; Suite, "Greycourt"; by Grandon; "Jeut d'Eaux a la villa d'Eroto" (Eton); (Lizatz); "La Campanella" (Paganiini Liszt).
Skilton Explains Program
With the idea of helping the audience better to understand and appreciate the program to be played by the Spanish pianist, Professor C. S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts has prepared an program index on the various numbers:
The Bach Caprice is one of the carol fast compositions in which instrumental music is written. Its popular program Music, which is popular with the general public, like to know what the music is about, but less esteemed by educated musicians.
The Brahms Variations are like a conversation in which many people express their feelings on the topic under discussion, a great variety of musical effects being employed in a series of progressive climaxes. It is one of the greatest compositions by Schubert. The Schubert Imprenta is one of the first lyric pieces for the piano, this composition having developed the short piano piece as well as the song.
Includes Debussy Compositions
The Dobatsky compositions represent the type of dissonant music employed by that composer in which an observing medium is employed. Melodies are fragmentary and indistinct, rhythm and tone-color being more in evidence. The Scheme is generalized for the four movements like the four sets of a play; the first an appeal to the intellect with a complicated form; the second an appeal to the emotions; the third a humorous movement; the fourth a brilliant and complex composition.
The Granados selections illustrate the metodle and rhythmic charm of Spanish music which has come rapidly to the front during the present generation.
The Lizet numbers show the high development of piano technique in which that composer has never been surpassed. The Campanella, or hell, in a transcription by J. A. playing inspired Lizet to become an equal master of the piano.
All the classes of the R.O.T.C. artillery and engineering units will meet tonight in a general mix at 7 o'clock in Marvin hall. The program will coincide with a joint exercise, both units, together with community song service led by one of the army officers. C.R. H. McMasters of Omana.
