WALKER IS CHAIRMAN
Rhodes Scholarship nominees from the University of Kansas will be selected at a meeting of the K. U. Committee on Recommendation, Oct. 22 according to the announcement made by Professor A. T. Walker, chairman
Persons who intend to apply for this scholarship are urged, by Professor Walker, to make out their applications as soon as possible. Application blanks and further details may be obtained at Professor Walker's office, room 202 Fraser hall. His office hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
A Rhodes Scholarship entitles its recipient to three years of study at the University of Oxford in England. Thirty-two scholars are selected each year, four from each of the eight districts in the United States. The 48 states have been grouped into eight groups or districts. Kansas is in district five and Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.
Each college and university in each state is permitted to select from one to five candidates. The all candidates from all the schools go before a state committee, which selects two candidates who in turn go before the district committee. From the district committee, in addition, the district committee selects four to receive scholarships.
Four From Each District
A candidate to be eligible must: 1. be a male citizen of the United States, with at least five years' domicile, and unmarried; 2. by the first of October, for the year for which he is elected, at the time of his election, passed his twenty-fifth birthday. In 1932 scholars will be elected to enter Oxford in October 1933; 3. by the first of October of the year for which he is elected, i.e., i. e. 1933, have completed an advanced degree or degree-granting university or college of the United States of America
Qualifications Are Varies
Selection of scholars is based on 1. literary and scholastic ability and attainments; 2. qualities of manliness, truth, courage, devotion to sympathy, kindness, mindfulness, and fellowship; 3. solidification of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and take an interest in their scholars; 4. physical vigour as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. Of these qualifications the first is of the most importance.
The scholarship entitles the student to three years' study at Oxford. Under some circumstances the student may take two years of work at Oxford and the third year at some other university. The third year of study may not be in the country of his birth but stipend of the Rhodes Scholarship is provided. Under normal conditions this amount would be in the neighborhood of $2,000. Under present economic conditions the exact amount of this stipend can not be determined.
Professor A. T. Walker, of the department of Latin and Greek, is chairman of the University committee on recommendations. Other members are Dean J. G. Brandt, of the College; Professor C. C. Crawford, department of history; Dean E. B. Stouffar, Graduate School; and Professor W. E. Sandhole, political science department. Professor is a former Rhodes Scholar, is also the secretary of the committee on recommendations for the state of Kansas.

Freshmen to Wear Caps Tomorrow but Paddle-Carriers Will Be Limited
At last, the poor bedwellied freshmen ets a break despite the fact he must eign wearing his freshman cup to sorrow.
The new rules adopted by the Men's Student Council at its meeting last week clearly delegate the powers of paddling to certain groups and prevent the vengeful sophomore from such tricks as hiding the crimson and blue flag behind bushes in order to trap the marynewer newcomer.
The new rules have nothing to say about the wearing of caps by men students of the University who have not completed 24 hours of freshman work in their respective schools. This will excuse these perennial members of the student body, who make up the stable and permanent elements of the freshman class, from annual cap-wearing and paddling.
Sacco-Vanzetti Judge Escapes Death Bomb
Justice Thayer Is Hurled From Bed by Terrific Blast
Worcester, Mass., Sept. 27, (UP) —judge Webber Thayer, who presided at he international famous Saco-Veneti murder trial in 11 years ago, escaped early today when his home on the West Side was wrecked y a bomb.
The white haired justice of the Massachusetts superior court suffered only bumps, bruises, and shock when hurried from his bed by the terrific blast.
The explosion damaged neighboring property and rocked a wide section of the city. Although the judge's 62 year old wife and a maid, Miss Joan Ashe, 32, were taken to hospitals, neither was seriously hurt.
Judge Thuyer received hundreds of death writs in connection with the trial and execution of Nicola Siao, a shoeworker, and Bartolomeo Vanzzetti, fish peddler, who were electructured in state prison in 1927 for the murder of a paymaster and his guard seven years earlier.
Liberal Support Is Sough
Police were inched to link the bombing with the Saco-Vanzetti case although conceiving it was strange that should have been so bong deferred.
Roosevelt Says There Is no Room for Two Conservative Parties
Aboard the Rosewood Special, Lally, N.M., Sept. 27, (UP)—Governor Franklin D. Rosseville, today bid openly for the progressive Republican vote of New Mexico before the Democratic state convention here.
"In these days," the Democratic presidential nominee said, "our party is the true representative of progressive democracy. Our party represents liberalism and we are there in no room in this country for two parties, both of them conservative."
United States Senator Bronx Cutting of New Mexico, leader of the progressive faction in this state, was in the midst of a platform built on the siding next to his private car. Cutting recently broke away from the old guard Republican organization of this state declining to be the forseeing presidential election.
The governor told the crowd his trans-continental trip was made for the purpose of determining the economic situation so that prosperity will be found in every part of the nation when he has begun under new leadership.
MERRILL WILL CONTINUE WORK FOR DEGREE FROM CHICAGO
Last year Mr. Merrill taught begin- nished classes in sociology in place of Poe M. Gist, who was on a year's leave to study at Northwestern University.
Francis E. Merrill, instructor in sociology at the University for the past year, left last night for Chicago where he expects to complete his work for a doctor's degree at the University of Chicago. For Dr. Merrill, Mr. Merrill will teach several classes at the Central Y, M, C. A. College in down town Chicago.
To Hear Series at Union
Everyone is invited to listen to the world series over the radios at the fountain and in the lobby of the Memorial Union building, Ozwin Rutledge, student manager, said today. Beginning Wednesday noon the radios will be tuned to the games throughout the entire series.
The old rule which commands the freshman to dick his cap with the proper reverence when passing through certain designated flag zones—established for the amusement of the up-perclassmen and excused under the embracing definition of University tradition—still holds good.
The caps must still display ribbons twelve inches in length; one of red and one of blue, the day before football games. Many freshmen resent this "sayy" touch to their bums of aunts who were doing nothing to relieve their feelings.
The hours of wearing the cephali adornment by the yearlings are from 8 a. m. until 6 p. m. except on the occasions of rallies and meetings at which freshman attendance is compulsory.
The Men's Student Council did more to clarify the rules regarding freshman caps this year, but like other law-making bodies the tendency toward statute making becomes a habit hard to break. In the good old days, the freshmen simply wore their caps or they didn't wear them. Those that didn't got a cap were Porter Loker and the burning of the caps depended upon a victory over Missouri in football. If no victory, the caps were worn in the spring.
Of course, reminiscence is out of order, for the old days were haphazard and efficiency has come to the University.
Orchestra Rehearsal Soon
More Students Are Wanted to Try Out for Wind Instruments
The first rehearsal of the University orchestra will be held at 7:30 p.m. thursday in In orchestra hall, according to an announcement made today by Karl O. Kuesteiner, associate professor in the School of Fine Arts. The orchestra will perform for the year, "Rustic Wedding Symphony," by Goldmark.

DEFENSE IS OBJECTIVE
