Fourteen Speakers Review Pressing Campus Problems
Rollo Nuckles Wins Cup for Talk on 'Rules and Regulations'; Anderson Second
NEROISM IS RAPPEI
By PAUL V. MINER
Fourteen University students ripped roared, rented, and swore last night cussing and discussing every conceivable campus problem in the eighth annual campus problems speaking contest.
It was "nature in the raw," since the talks were informal, and those sponsoring the contest had no idea, other than the tropics, of what the speakers would say.
Rolla Nuckle, c33, won first place with a talk on "Rules and Regulations," Charles B. Anderson, c1uml, was awarded second with a speech on "Examinations for Faculty Members," and Henry H. Quigley, c35, took third place speaking on "Practical and Theoretical Education."
Attacks Campus Rules
Nuckles' talk was a sarcastic attack on various campus rules. Most of the rules which govern students, he said, may be blamed on one person—the
"I do not envy her the job, and I do appreciate the difficulty under which she works, but I can't see that she uses a computer. I know some of the rules she does," he said.
Nuckles termed the chapron rule at Watkins Memorial hospital as a mid-Victorian one which should either be abolished or a chapron provided by hospital authorities. The emphasis aplasia also came for his condemnation.
Chose Faculty Carefulness
Anderson, in his speech which won
the accreditation, pointed forward to the day when the present
institutions of learning became institutions for teaching, and members of the faculty would be chosen for their knowledge of a subject and their ability to transfer that knowledge to the stu-
Quigley, who won third place, declared that he believed education came from practical experience rather than from theorizing.
"You can take my Phi Beta Kappa key," he exclaimed. "I'll take my practical education, and I think I'll be as well off in the end."
University traditions and institutions from the wearing of freshman caps to the alumni, and from a discussion of the football team and the Negro student in athletes to Neuroman on Mt. Kidron for their share of exposure last night.
Audience Gets Chuckles
Audience Gets Chucked
Not many of the speakers seemed eager to shock the audience with breath-taking statements, but the audience got many a chuckle out of some well-aimed shot, and speakers were often applauded for some parry which seemed to strike at the root of a problem.
No women participated last night for the first time since the contest had its inception, Professor E. C. Buehler, of the department of speech and dramatic arts said. Women were not arrested. He said the case could not be explained their being on the sidelines.
That some of the speakers had ideas and solutions of problems which appealed to the audience was apparent from the nods of confirmation which could be seen when the speaker stressed some particularly good point.
**Penentiary Rules Exist**
"No penentiary inmates obey strict rules than women in the University," said Phil McKnight, co-talks for the group. "The University contains the largest group of snobs know of." he maintained.
Hugh Rundall, c35, said that the greatest problem was the lack of peep, due, he said, to the administration and the subservience of the students to it. "How can we have peep when our every stem is guarded?" he asked.
Woodrow Pennington, *CSU*, talked on the Jayhawker, explaining that unless it was given student support there was no way that it could not be published this year.
Dean C. Chaffee, gr, explained a situation which arose last year after a decision of the Jayhawker advisory board awarding a contract for the firm.
Has Plan for Flunkers
Logan Lane, c34, conten ed that grades lie at the bottom of most of the problems of the University. He advanced a plan whereby classes would be divided into two groups—the flunk

Northwestern University Co-eds Don't Consider Pipe A Man's Smoke
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1832
Evanston, Ill., Nov. 16 – (UF) Co-eds at Northwestern University have taken up pipe smoking. The fad started after the girls won the right to smoke in soorty houses and has become so wide spread that merchants have had to increase their stocks of pipes, including corn cobs. After a few months of the briar has resulted in lowered consumption of cigarettes could not be learned. Merchants are wondering just how long the co-eds will continue the fad.
Tiger Publication Raps Bottle-Toting Alumni
Missouri Student' Declares Drunken Grads Tear Down Ideals
Columbia, Mo. Nov. 16—(UP) —The Missouri Student, University of Missouri student weekly, today charged that the homecoming celebration last week was an occasion for "dunknerys by alumni and "debauchery and moral fifth"
"The celebration did not serve its true purpose of providing for old college friends meeting again," the paper charged. The homecoming was in connection with the Kansas-Missouri football game.
"The Ideal Crumples" was the title of the editorial, which said in part: "A toast to hundreds of returning lumb. battle-harden, staging, insurrection; a toast to those coming; a toast to drunken mobs on the campus, howling, destroying property; a touch to those who turned laureacy into deacuchery and the desacuchery and filth of the day."
"A sincere toast, however, to a return to homecoming with an honest pilgrimage to renew old images and stories, which will be a touch for which they have a real love."
Dissatisfied With Cheering
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, has suggested that the student section move to the east side of the stadium for the next football season.
Alumni Do Not Get Benefit of Studen Noise
As Don Eklon, c33, president of the Ku Mus, said, "Under existing conditions the alumni just don't bear the yells, they can't see the card displays—in short they miss the show. I believe that most alumni return to a footfall just about as much for the show as they do to the Kansas team in action."
There has been definite dissatisfaction and disappointment expressed by University alumni concerning the tradition fire and spirit as evidenced by them. There can be only one reason for this and that is because the alumni are sitting with the students and all the noise goes to the other stands. Then the alumi go home and complain about the lick of enthusiasm of the Kansas
To overcome this false impression Dr. Allen and Clyde Miller of Topeka suggested at the Notre Dame rully that the students move to the east stadium and hit the rulie produced by the Kansas roosting section, Dr. Allen asserted.
UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF TALENT RETARDS SELECTION OF CAS
The cast for "Maid in Hollywood," the W. S. G. A. musical comedy which is to be presented in Fraser theater the night of Dec. 5, 7, 8, has not yet been definitively selected. One of the reasons for the delay has been the abundance of talent which has appeared at the tryouts.

Suspension Rules May Be Changed by Faculty Group
Suggestion Is Made for Voluntary Reinstating on Probation After Failure
IS FAIR TO STUDENTS
Possible changes in the rules of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences relating to students failing in a large part of their work, were discussed by the College faculty at its meeting last evening.
It was suggested that rules for liberal restatement, on probation, for a semester following a semester of low grades, would be fair to the students, but some students would be in line with practice in other divisions of the University.
Under the present rule, students failing in 40 per cent or more of their work in a given semester are suspended, but may be reinstated upon petition and a suitable showing before a committee of the College faculty.
Of 34 students on probation, 12 petitioned for reinstatement, and all 12 were permitted to re-enroll.
Last Year's Report Is Given
The discussion followed the report of the following:
that for last spring semester 75 students were suspended under the 40 per cent rule. Of these 23 applied for reinstatement, 18 wereMITmitted to enroll for the fall semester.
"The committee has perhaps been too lenient," said Associate Dean Lawson, reporting for the committee, "but we have considered the times. Since the real purpose of suspending the poor student was not punishment, but rather to have him try a period of regular work away from books, and since such an effort would be necessary, the mittee has been inclined to let those desiring to try again to do so.
No.52
Grants Four Degrees
The faculty approved the recommendation of Dean J. G. Brandt that four students who had completed all courses in the required degrees be granted them, as follows:
Bachelor of Arts, Frances Irene Browne; Carl Steacy Pickell; and Helen Rattle Humbur.

The faculty also granted several changes in courses upon recommendation of the administrative committee. The department of journalism was permitted to offer a course in newspaper circulation problems, in alternate years. The faculty then issued the paper administration, now given each year, be awarded in alternate years.
Permits Changes in Courses
The department of botany was permitted to offer a new course in laboratory demonstrations, in the summer session, and the department of political science was permitted to a number of its courses. This department was also allowed to restate the content of its course in municipal government, in keeping with the enlarged scope of the course.

This Week
Leaders among men students of the University pledged their support to in appeal Jayhawk today in reply to an appeal made yesterday by John Eerkelbe, c34, editor of the publication. Statements were issued by representative from various colleges and several campus leaders who are members of organized houses.
Harold Harding, T34, candidate for president of the student council last year, issued the following statement his morning: "The 1533 Jayhawker, constructed upon the proposed plans, will be the first book ever published here. The book has been a prize winner in national competition for many years. This year it will be a prize winner with students on the campus. Each purchase of his new all-University annual will be an incentive to these needed alternatives in polite."
To be Representative
To 68 Representative
Dean C. Chaffee, gr, says: "The present policies of the Jayhawker staff will make the organization a more representative this year than ever before. New is the time to encourage hat policy with our support and by purchasing this annual, of which we will all be proud."
"Berklebike has given me every reason to believe that this year's annual is to be an impartial representative of student life and student activities on our campus. In view of this fact I heartily recommend that every K. U. student supports the Jupiter Club, which is to be the students own book," said Chevey S. White, cl3, president of the Kayhawk club.
Lloyd Metzler, another leader, said, "Freshmen and sophomores, as well as upperclassmen, will be interested in the subject. A number of yearbooks have embodied kaleidoscopic reviews of every phase of University life, portrayed accurately and interspersibly by a great variety of pictures." The book's theme is "the year's book will be equally interesting."
Campus Leaders Prased"
Members of the Jayhawk staff were pleased with the attitude taken by the team, and helped make possible another Jayhawk, "Berkebie said. "Without their support we would have failed in our campaign."
Jayhawk week, which has been in progress since Monday, has been successful thus far, according to John Rugh, c34, business manager of the company. "We book sales this far this week we are assured a Jayhawk for this year. Scores of students have already answered our appeal for support, and have purchased books, or assured us purchase books in the near future."
PICTURE DEADLINE IS SET
Sloan Urges Seniors to Co-operate With Jayhawker Staff
The deadline for senior pictures to appear in the 1933 Jaffray hawker was set for Dec. 15, according to John Berkshire, c'34, editor of the publication. No pictures are to be accepted after that date.
Gordon Sloan, president of the senior class, in a statement this morning, urged all seniors to co-operate with the Jayhawker staff. "I want to urge every member of the senior class to place his or her photograph in the Jayhawker this year," he said. "The book is very largely dedicated to our interests and is worthy of our support and port. The book supports our support more this year, and the staff has come more than half way by reducing the cost of pictures."
Beauty contest pictures will not be accepted later than Nov. 29. The staff declined to make any statement in regard to who would judge the beauty contest this year. "An unusually large number of pictures have been entered."

New Fee System to Be Presented to Student Body
Future of Activity Ticket Discussed by Council and W.S.G.A. Last Night
The compulsory tax plan, when definitely formulated, will be presented to the student body at a mass meeting during a regular convalescence period, the Men's Student Council and W. S. School. On Wednesday night, following the mass meeting students will be allowed to vote on the plan.
SAVING IS EFFECTED
If the compulsory student activity ticket is not established," Harold Denen, c33, president of the Men's Student Council, said. "such worthy activities will have to be abolished before the financial stress further. Forced by the financial stress this year, these organizations have used all their reserve funds to carry on."
The students would save money themselves if the compulsory plan were adopted, according to council members. For the payment of a relatively small fee each semester, the student would be entitled to the concert course, Union privileges, and possibly the Jay-hawk. The approximate saving to the student in case such a plan is adopted would be about five or six dollars, Denton said.
Committes composed of members of both councils were appointed to investigate the problems and report a probable solution.
"In studying a list of leading colleges," said Denton, "I find that the number of students pursuing public safety fee. They maintain that this plan gives the students a much cheaper rate per ticket, promotes more awareness of the only logical means of finance."
Some Fees May Go for Union There is a possibility, according to the Councils, that part of the money secured from such fees, if the plan is adopted, will be used to complete the purchase of the complement of the ballroom, recreation room, and meeting rooms would be included in this project.
Discussion of the honor system included criticism of honor system used in other schools and of the system used in the School of Law here.
"I am of the opinion," said Helen Heaton, fa33, president of W.S.G.A., "that such a plan can be developed with a modified honor system and gradually work up to the plan desired. Nevertheless, a standard must be set up now that the evolution of the plan should be accomplished as soon as possible."
