UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
The suppressed and depressed get a break.
VOL. XXIX
University Topics Discussed by Nine Leading Students
No. 107
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1932
Subjects Include Problems of Athletics, News Suppression, and Sororities
BUEHLER IS CHAIRMAN
Evelyn Swarthout, fa 32, presented an argument for culture at the University, illustrating Lawrence as the "Athens teacher" who encouraged students to learn from enjoying good music, and stated that a great many students with enterprise tickets never used the concert course tickets which would adorned them about $1,000 worth of talent yearly.
Topics ranging from the suppression of news in the University Daily Kansan to arguments favoring fraternities and sorceries, the exposure of athlete submissions, and the institution of the University, operation of the W.S.G.A., and failure of students to use tickets for attractions for which they have already paid, were featured in the tale of nine prominent students in a contest held last night in Fraser theater.
Joe Knack, 'C32, former managing editor of the Daily Kanan and remembered for his famous clash with the K club, characterized the editor-in-chief as a "manly member." He said that the management editor was "no more than a desk man who has no final say in printing controversial subjects," and quoted several instances of what he declared was an act of malice on the news by the administration.
The nine students and their topic in order of appearance were as follows Myra Little, c32, who spoke on "The Meaning of W.S.G.A." The main point were, that the dean of women "dare not be a victim of the stigma" And, an appeal for the stamping out of the clique spirit to make Kansas a place for Democracy.
Kansan Policy Criticized
Knaek called the Chancellor "a darned poor newspaper man," and gave as taboo subjects for editorialization, prohibition, birth control, and all politics except Brinkley. He concluded by saying, "If the people will be allowed more leeway, the Kansan will be a better newspaper."
“An Unjust Charge Against Fraternity,” was the subject chosen by Kathleen Asher, c32. She said that “the student who chooses to group are always the ‘best’ in that group.” “Man was not created democrat,” and concluded, “Each student, fraternity or non-fraternity, is master of his fate, the captain of his soul” as he wrote.
Master of ceremonies Professor E. C. Buehler of the department of speech and dramatic arts, who had begun the process to build a new stadium in Kansas when "a debater was more prominent than a football player," and "when the K.U. and Baker debate team were kicked out of the train to Baldwin," introduced the next speaker, Wilfur B. Furar Jr., *c*33, by saying that if he spoke as well as he played tennis, it would be a good
The talk, entitled "Problems Created by Athletics in General," concerned both general problems and specific situations both here and all over the country. Concerning general situations in athletics here and elsewhere he said that (1) athletics tend to congregate in certain lines of activity, (2) athletics are often found at schools, (3) certain professors have the reputation of being favorable to athletes and give "the usual" "D" to athletes to pass them, and (4) "D" in the coaching of athletes makes out enrollment schedules for athletes to keep them eligible."
University Organizations Discussed
Hilden Gibson, c33, who was introducted by Professor Bucher with a loom of threads. He belonged, announced that his subject was "The Over Organization of University Life." Presenting in a satirical manner, Gibson contends that confronts the student, he states that not being content with all of the organized restrictions placed on the individual must be made to the individual must organize himself.
Going into the more particular problem of ways and means of developing a football team, Coen illustrated how we might be able to identify, and pointed out that of the 156 groups charted by the University, all of which as groups maintain at least the "C" requirement for graduation from the university. The average was a "D plus" average. He advocated the paralleling of coaches salaries and stability of positions with those of professors, and argued for the removal of financial ties between the athletic de
Quoting names of organizations in a stream, Gibson said. "Whenever an idea comes along we organize it, and sometimes we organize and then wait for

New Eight-Cylinder Ford Will Be Shown in Marcl
Price Not Announced, but Promised in Low Wid
Field
Detroit, Feb. 11. (UP) Henry Ford today announced creation of a new eight-cylinder Ford to augment the company's efforts to ensure everyone "must be willing to do business without a profit to start the normal processes of business and industry."
Specifications of the new V-8 were not announced but production starts next week with the first showings scheduled early in March. The price was not disclosed other than that the model will be in the low priced field.
"The public has suffered a lot and deserves a great deal. It deserves much from the manufacturer and from now on from all of us in at every conference." Ford said.
Ford revealed that the plans to place the eight-cylinder car on the market were delayed a year on account of the depression. For the last months Ford made a few changes in its management. The new model takes the Ford name-product away from the four-cylinder field for the first time since it abandoned the two-cylinder car. In September 2015, Eldison rode in one of the new eights more than a *year* ago when here. Twenty eight were built in the old Edison laboratory at Dearborn.
the idea." He closed with an appeal for an "organization to unorganize this institution."
Mary Wachter, c34, gave a picture, in "What About Sororities?" of college life on the campus, and watched by the movies, "College Humor," and "Life." She defended the displaying of pins by comparing it to a little girl and her mother, and she insisted, teachers" waving their Phi Beta Kappa keys under students' sweatpants, "the shoulders of 'the products of Henry Ford.'"
Russel Strobel, 134, president of the Men's Student Council, touched several students with a speech about "Government or Politics." He made a general attack on the faculty of the School of Law, and opposed the statement by Myra Little, that what the students believed was as the W.S.C.A. was concerned. He said that the student council should not be a policeman in the case of campus violence, but it was, it was "better than faculty control." Strobel ended with the remark, "If this be trespass, make the most of
Education Is Standardized

Peculiar Scale of Values"
Education Is Standardized
Characterizing college education as a standardized pooring into molds of the individuals exposed. He compared two different state reformatory and chinon state reformatory at which he spent a week this fall. The main parallel between the two was evasion or attempted evasion of rules, no matter how well they were entered either of the institutions.
A fairly large audience, probably as indicated by the pre-contest conversations and political affiliations representatives with a personal interest in the speakers, heard the criticisms. Heads were craned in various directions as jobs struck or were intended to represent the audience or forces represented in the audience.
Kell's speech included a discussion of "bull feats" and ended with an appeal for as much attention to unadjusted body language in ley horses" and brushes on athletics, suggesting the retaining of a psychiatrist to examine and aid mat-adjusted athletes.
Chancellor Lindley, Dean Agnes Husband and others whose policies were censored were in the audience.

Manhattan, Feb. 11 — (UP) — The hearing on the fraternity tax suit here neared completion today. Judge C. E Vance, Garden City, who is conducting the hearingured testimony in the case, brought it to a cloak this afternoon.
STUDY IS SUPERVISED
In the three days of the hearing in March, Kansas State Greek organization asked for a demonstration of their property stricken from the tax rolls, numerous phases of fraternity and sorority.

Scotson said that the Betts's maintain a chapter library which contains some volumes not available at the college library, and encyclopedias were included he said.
Helen Mangleleider, treasurer of Pi Beta Phi sorority, declared that organization did not make a profit on its operation. In later testimony it described that the group maintained at a profitable margin which is turned over to other departments.
"Hell weck" came under the testimony when A R Jones, faculty advisor for Phi Sigma Kappa, was asked by Smith if during that period the boy came in the house to study or be on campus. The girl's sole responsibility was弊败 as a receptive rope.
Witnesses for the fraternity said that they had been closely supervised schematically and were required to take part in one or more educational activities, such as music, art, dance.
Fraternity fees approximate $12-500, $15,000 and $13,500 leisium showed. Five per cent of the $15,000 is allowed for social activities. Should a decision not favor the Grecian two years taxes would immediately come due.

Administration Designing
Plans for More Credit
Project Would Put Billion
Idle Dollars Back
Into Business
Washington, Feb. 11—(UP) The administration threw all of its power today to federal officials in the country's business back to prosperity. The project would put to work, according to an explanation provided by a spokesman of the government, one billion dollars in gold now lying idle in the vaults of the federal reserve bank.
By the natural working of economic laws, this would add eight to ten billion dollars per year in facilities. This would be in addition to the fund the government hopes to get back to work through its two billion dollar reconstruction finance corpora-
Ogden Mills, secretary-designate of the treasury, described it as technically accurate. It also justified its contained in the Seagull-Glass measure. It was advanced publicly after conferences with Senate and House committees. The Seagull of the house banking and currency commission, said the bill would be introduced in the house this after-
In substance its effect would be to broaden the scope of securities which have been issued by the reserve system. That would, the administration holds, permit bankers to broaden similarly the scope of securities issued by banks to a quickening felt through the whole business fabric from the vast business manufacturing establishments down to the very smallest businesses, the first to sense the purpose of the new project. Today in Wall street business showed its effect. Stocks rallied sharply on Monday. There were new signs of optimism.

Calls Stalin 'A Darn Good Political Boss'in Giving Credit to Leader
Lindley to Emporia
Chancellor E. H. Lindsey will go to Emporia tomorrow to attend the Lincoln day dinner of the College of Empson, which will probably make the journey by train.
COUNTRY IS FORDIZED
"Good man, a political boss and a darn
stalin," said Dr Burma A Jankini,
who was running for the post given before the morning luncheon today in the private dining room of the Union
Press.
Doctor Jenkins was in Russia in 1928 and 1930. In his opinion the five-year plan will be a success. "While the full quoted call for in each department of the government may not be entirely realized, by 1933, the plan will be practically completed under the statute partnership of Stalin," and Doctor Jenkins.
The Russian people while living under very great difficulties take hikes and go on rides when they may live in comfort. "The Russians have agreed to be poor for the present so that they may be rich in resources," he said of the country that will bring in gold so that they may purchase machinery and increase their efficiency," stated Mr. Balkovich.
Not Affected by Depression
"The plan is to "forzize Russia" declared Doctor Jenkins. Even in no short a time the Russian peasant has begun to approach the mechanical efficiency of the machine and try to get rid of the oriental disgrace of time before she can hope to become efficient," continued Doctor Jenkins. "In spite of bad food and poor living conditions the children of Russia are as children of the United States."
Doctor Jenkima found that the average wage of a doctor of the Russian was from $10 to $7 a month. The highest salary paid by a doctor in Russia was $150 a month. “There is no unemployment in Russia,” be stated, “Russia is so depressed that she was not affected by the world depression.” Doctors were told to a question register that subject
Russia Under Reign of Terror
"At the present time Russia is under a reign of terror. There is no freedom of speech; a man is afraid to speak to Russians in public. I was in conversation at the present time in the weather," said Doctor Jenkirk. "After talking with many Russians it is the belief of Doctor Jenkirk that Russia should not have religion on a broad and scientific basis."
Tonight at 7 p.m. Doctor Jenkins will continue his talk under the title "Which Way America," in the Central Administration auditorium.

Friendship for Captain of Kansas Team Brings World Champion for Exhibition
OUTLOOK FOR 1932'GOOD
Tilden's choice of Lawrence for an appearance 'was largely influenced by his friendship with Willow Cron Jr, his team for the University team this season.
Big shots of the tennis world will parade in Lawrence on the night of March 11, with the arrival of William T.

Tennis was formerly a very popular sport at the University, according to Dr. Allen. The turnout last year when Coen and his team-mates brought the Big Six championship here indicates that tennis is a class sport in stiff strong in Lawrence.
