WOMEN TO BREAK ETIQUETTE RULES AND GET OWN DATES
Then There's the Goodnight Kiss to Worry About: the Auto Food and Drinks
Although 1930 isn't listed as a leap year on the calendars, the men of the University are due for a thrill that ordinarily comes only once every four years. The university has its own prospects. The reason for this joyous exuberance is the fact that a Leap Year variety, conforming in every respect to the quaint old traditions surrounding such an event, will be held in a building on the evening of December 13.
A announcement of the special party by Jack Morris, varsity dance manager, has caused more than one harried request for an event. The sigh of relief, and offer prayers to the kind providence that for just this once will place him in the favored position of being invited to a brief evening, if never again, Joe College will know the thrilling of waiting in comfort at his home while his date arrives. A related rented car to be delivered.

Hays Choral to Give Program
Hayes — the W. S. T. C. hays Choral Society in Chicago, and Henry E. Mallow, will present Rossini's "Stabat Mater" on the night of Dec. 18 with the assistance of Rollin Bridges, a former Chicago.

What sweet revenge it will be for him to say, "I'm really just terribly sorry, Betty, but I've put a splitting headache and I'm expecting my parents to arrive any minute, so I quenit me is impossible for me to go. It is cer- tain that you ask me to ask me and I know you'll understand. Maybe some other time."
And there is also the possibility of a romance. Will any girl who, unknown to me, tell you about her admiration, take this chance of bringing her admiration to his notice? The thought
On the other hand, Betty Co-eed is a bit flustered and thrown off balance by this unexpected turn of affairs that has so unceremoniously reversed the hat in her eyes. She now call without fear ofensure the cute boy with the curly brown hair that sent thrills and chills running through her when they dined at open house restaurants, and she parted to and from the party, drinks at intermission, and perhaps food afterward. That takes money and that new dress that Bettie bought last week has gotten better. Maybe one of the sisters can be pertuaded to advance a small loan.
Now the Expense Turns
But the financial worries are not the greatest that Betty will undergo for this brief hour or so of pleasure. She is dressed in a skirt and sily little up going to some fraternity house and calling for the boy friend. What it he is not ready and she has
And then the party--should she take Joe right home, or should they take it to her office on such occasions as for the girl to bestow a goodnight kiss on her company? Betty is experiencing some pain because of over these and similar points of Leap Year etiquette. And the worst part that Emily Post has nothing to say about is her own
Despite all the problems and doubts Joe and Bette are eagerly looking forward to attending, you'll be glad won't be so bad after they once start dancing and the goeow and rhythm of the band will liberate their literatizing memory of possible social errors. It will be "be moment joyous" and the band will be "happy."
The Leap Year variety will be the last party of the year and also the last one before Christmas vacation. Arlene Simmons and his hand will play for
the dancing from 9 until 12. Jack Mory-
who, is in charge of arrangements
for the party, said, "Girls are to
ask for and take their dates to the
party and those girls who prefer to stay
at home will be invited, but the
will be admitted without a date."
'Death Not Due to Alcohol
Witness in Shepard Trial Discredits Statements of Defendant
Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 8 — (UP) —
Testimony that alcoholism did not contribute to the death of Mrs. Zeana Shepard was used by the government to help identify Ms. Shepard, who is charged with her murder. Major Paul Hawley, army medical officer of Major Shepard at death of Mrs. Shepard, was a witness.
Each motor represents a special type of alternating current motor, and will be used to drive various points of application. "These motors are designed to start directly across line, and have unusual starting torque that allows them to light little disturbance to lights and other electrical apparaiting when the motors are in operation." The motors were secured as a long time loan from the company through a leasing agreement with the Kansas City branch manager.
The School of Engineering and Architecture has received three 10-horsepower motors, each a particular kind "They are to be used for thesis and general laboratory work," said Prof. R. Murray, the electrical department of the school.
"In the presence of Mrs. Shepard," Major Hawley said, "Major Shepard told me he believed Mrs. Shepard's illness was due to the excessive use of alcohol. She replied that she had not done anything like enough alcohol to kill her."
Major Howley's testimony was regarded as a high point in the government's testimony and he was still on bail when the court took no recess.

Adams Urges Increased Pay for Navy Officers
Secretary Makes Stirring Plea For Service in Annual
Report
The report pictured the Navy as being far below the strength permitted by legislation. The additional officers with which to man present vessels and those which will be deployed are not included.
Washington, Dec. 8—(U.P.) A stirring plea for more adequate pay for naval officers, coupled with better prospects for promotion, was made last night by Secretary of Navy Adm in an annual report to President Hoover.
There were 5,492 officers "of the line" in the Navy at the beginning of the 1831 fiscal year, July 1, the report revealed. There were 4,983, in all branches of the services.
To accomplish this he asked that each scouter and representative be allowed access to the U S Naval Academy. Even this would not provide sufficient officers with the training.
Adams suggested that "immediate steps be taken to increase the allowed officer strength from the present 4 to 5 percent" and enlisted increased strength to 3.5 per cent."
Expansion of the 1,000-plane, five-year aircraft building program, authorized in 1928 by Congress, to provide an airplane capable of the new light cruisers, built and building, was made in the report. Adams estimated this would be sufficient to meet its aviation requirements, commissioning of the new airplane carrier now building at Newport News, Va.
The report revealed that another reorganization of the United States Fleet was under consideration and probably would begin in early 1932.

Kavanagh Believes in Death Penalty to Curtail Crime
Speaker Opening Lectures Says Kansas Needs Cap- ital Punishment
'ENGLAND IS A MODEL
Judge Marcus A. Kavanah, who is to speak tonight at 8:15 in the University Auditorium, on "The Crime Crisis" firm believer in capital punishment.
In a recent number of Collier's Weekly he compares the ratio of murders in Kansas, which does not have any homicides in Oklahoma, such as Nebraska, which enforces it and recaches the conclusion that Kansas is safer if she adopted the death penalty.
"if someone's life is to be taken," the judge argues, "it is more just that that of the murderer should be the one. Capital punishment is justified in that it prevents the death of other innocent people to protect them from desperades."
"England is a model for the whole world in the way she controls crime. A large measure of her effectiveness results from her sure and speedy application of the death penalty. America could do well to follow her example."
Judge Kavangah will discuss this question and others relating to crime tonight in his lecture, which is the first one this year on the community jail. You may be obtained by holders of student enterprise tickets. Those who have been doing in doing this may obtain their tickets at the box office before the trial.

Dean Shaad Action in Big Six Meeting Ratified by Board
Adoption of North Central Standards Will Cause Stringent Rules
SQUABBLE IS CLOSED
The University of Kansas athletic board after spending two hours yesterday listening to Dean George C. Shaad's report as faculty representative, approved his action, which led to restatement of Kansas in the Big Six.
Code Settles Authority
This action, which came as a result of the action instigated by W. A. Tarr, of the University of Missouri, seemed to be an important factor in the squabble in the conference over the subsalzation of athletics. Whether or not the action of the Kansas representative is a concession to the other Big Ten, it is a doubtful question, however.
The Big Six conferences, of which Kansas is again a member, will place very stringent regulations on the colleges in its reiter in order to comply with requirements of the Central Association of Colleges and Universities for membership. This regulation section this section of the country, has placed very definite regulations on the conduct of its accredited conferences. The code states where the administration of the athletic policy should rest, and what authorities should be the role of those involved. The code states where the "payment of money to students for services as athletes, hiring athletes or the equivalent of such procedure, and not permissible" says the report.
No. Special Offers Allowed
The report finally states that all athletic funds must be either audited by the athletic office or handled through the institution's budget.
The final pledge which precedes the signing of the article sties that no member of the conference shall hold a vote on its acceptance in the area of the North Central association which may have been dropped from that conference for failure to attend, nor is it possible for the same reasons may be dropped from the accredited list of that association because of violation of or failure to comply with the aforementioned athletic standards.
It further prohibits the personal solicitation of prospective students by athletic coaches through the offering of scholarships, tuition fees or money or jobs. The coaches must receive a salary commensurate with their services and cannot take more than a
woman is a member of this association. The cost of the big conference meetings set up before the conference can be recognized as accredited by the organization.
