WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1928 THANK YOU Because of a heavy broadening schedule this week, the University radio station KFKU would have encountered difficulty in arranging its apparatus to conform with the Radio Commission's wave-length ruling which became effective Sunday. However, through the generous co-operation of Mr. Jackman, of the local station WREN, such trouble will be avoided. Mr. Jackman has offered the use of the station for the broadcasting of KFKU programs this week while the University station is being adjusted to the newly assigned frequency of 1220 kilobytes. The first KFKU program using the new wave-length will be broadcast tonight using WREN apparatus. Arrangements also have been made to broadcast the Kansas-Oklahoma football game and the all-University vspen program on Sunday. To make this possible it has been necessary for the WREN officials to enceint part of their programs for the week. THE DICTATOR Movie patrons in Kansas are not the only people who have to submit to censorship of the films. Benito Mussolini has prohibited the showing in Italy of the film, "Street Angel," the scenes of which were held in that country. Furthermore the commission which previously authorized the production was dismissed. We take it to satisfy the film censure failed to satisfy Mussolini's fancies. Periks II Dice figured that he might as well do the task himself if he wanted it done well. Anyway, Italian photon film will not have on opportunity to see this particular picture. The dictator of Italy seems to have unlimited power over his people. His word is law. His stern countenance and determined jaw jowbeak his character and make him feared and respected. How long will his unchanged and unwavering sway continue? Or will a revolution sweep him from his excalled throne of absolute dictation? It is not exactly pessimism for Americans to expect soon or later, some sort of eruptions in Italy other than volcanic. At all events the great masses of screen-lovers in America would resent the actions of a dictator who would suppress a picture in such drastic fashion. CHILDREN AS TEACHERS The Allied Patriotic Societies of New York City are sponsoring a plan whereby the children of foreign families in 10 public schools of the city will receive a series of 41 lesson leaflets, constituting a home study course for their parents. The children will be the instructors and the progress of the parents will be checked by public school teachers. Completion of the course will make it easy for the parents to pass the literacy test requisite to citizenship. The plan has been adopted by Dr. William J. O'Shea, superintendent of schools in New York, who will soon put it into effect. The final outcome of the project depends on a considerable extent on the attitude shown by the parents. In some instances it may be the means of disrupting the home life, since many parents are averse to receiving instructions from anyone, let alone their children. On the other hand, the more progressive the foreignborn parents would gladly advance in the ways of America under the supervision of their own children. American progress and unity will advance if foreign parents accept this instruction, since failure to understand the English language is largely responsible for many of the misunderstandings that arise among foreign-born people. According to Dwight Brannan, president of the Allied Patriotic Societies, there are 1200 foreign newspapers published in America, 368 of which are radical. If foreign people could read English newspapers as well as a foreign one they could get the American viewpoint, especially on matters concerning government, and thus pave the way to better citizenship. Besides, foreign people who expect to make a living in this country should be glad to learn the English language which would help them in their work. HAZING Hazing at the University of Oklahoma, together with any violent practice during fraternity initiation or "hell week," has been banned from that institution by a vote of the board of regents. The ruling is to be transmitted to the student body and to fraternity chapters at the school by the president of the university. The fortunate death of a student during a fraternity initiation at the University of Texas this fall has not hazed and "cell week" practices in an unfavorable light in that school. In at least two other southern state schools, fraternities have been frowned upon and removal of the fraternity system is being considered seriously because of the rough treatment accorded pledges during the probation period. The matter of having freshmen is a worn out tradition. In most of the colleges these practices are gradually dying out. Authorities and patrons of the school usually look with disapproval on the idea of hazing. The situation is not altogether serious at the University of Kansas. Some of the methods of general freshman "discipline" are distasteful and therefore questionable, but, on the whole, there is not much "rough stuff." In this connection, it might be well to recall that the inter-framerity council passed a resistance against "hell week" activities; Greek letter organizations should be reminded of this resolution. Since the process known as hazing produces no benefits, absolute abolition of the outgrown custom may we sincerely advocated. Today's Best Editorial YOU NEVER CAN TELL Whenever the world laughs at some ancient Chinese custom it is as well for the thoughtful to check their work before conditioning the idea completely. We have been reading about a collection of ship models, chiefly of China, owned by a United States navy company, S.C. The group contains a number of olivously interesting vessel types, those used on both salt and fresh water runs and all possessing an impressive world-wide practice. Admitted some of these have their advantages, such as the lashing with bamboo instead of sewing with thread of the stripe of rubber; the use of a method, we are informed, permits the irresistible windstorm to rip a single width, leaving repair a simple matter, whereas a heavily sewn sail would allow sail from side to side or end to end. But one of the customs of Chinese naval architecture that calls down laughter even from the naval officer is that of painstakingly drilling holes into corals to expose the seabed. For centuries, and maybe thousands of years, the Chinese have gone to additional trouble, accomplishing, according to our building theories, no matter how difficult they are. The steering device. The Chinese explanation of thus ridding the rudders is that the holes "let the water out." Obviously, therefore, the real purpose of this research is to discover theiquity. But who is prepared to declare positively that the system may not at some time and under some past condition have possessed a virtue so strong as to be practical in and in practice? All kinds of odd discoveries are being made in physical science, and some of them far stranger than that holes in a rudder can do. A blinded investigator may yet discover what the Chinese term "letting out the water" from the rudder may conceal some secret advantage. —New Orleans Times-Picayune German Chemist Is Developing Method for Making Waste Wood Into Edible Food (Dr. Friedrich Berti, Pisa German Chemist, *Written for Science Services*) Carbohydrates, taken directly or indirectly, whether by human beings or animals, are an important element of the energy of the sun. After undergoing certain changes they serve as fuel, to produce the various kinds of energy which sustain life. In plant-life nature produces carbohydrates in different forms, some of them being directly servable for direction on the part of most animals, others fit for use only by immature plants of so-called lower organisms, especially by higher mammals. Carbohydrates are essential for beings as we regards their elementary composition, but these small differences "Inside Stuff" --paris was created in the German and Antio- Hungarian press by a series of newspaper articles commencing on the subject in 1916, and perfected in 1916 or 1927.

That should be obvious; but it seems hard for some of the "intelligent" to comprehend how a work, perform a different function from a cow; so do newspapers, books, pamphlets, quarterly reports, and on each, own its own paper. The particular job of the newspaper is to present day-to-day developments. It deals only with the surface events, and it does not include the events. The meaning of the events can only be understood when placed in relation to the environment. That is why intelligent newsmen editing real-entilgled消息的音效。 Our Contemporaries THIS ATTENDANCE PROBLEM ATTENDANCE PROBLEM Must the time present because of the provenance of "cotteting" among the students, particularly upperclass and the student disorders is cut off or the blame for this human schoolly interest, and there are many in the various centers of learning who are interested. The present discussion of class cutting as an evil brings to the form a problem which really has two sides: on one side, it reduces nearly all other universities as well; exerts tremendous effort to check daily attendance in all classes. In the meantime, teachers are taken to check the roll of every meeting. Instructors in such courses are given an opportunity of checking of class and counting checking in an effort to lure the presence of each student regularly and punish those who are present. No doubt, in the freshman courses, there is a good reason for this endowment. Students are enrolled in a system presupposes that the students enrolled in the course have but little interest in the work, and will not pay attention to it unless they are forced to do so. Such a condition may exist in some of the introductory courses in the CS department. It is true that even in the more advanced stages of the work there are certain students who show little interest in meeting certain numerical standards. It does seem illogical, however, to assume that the majority of students in their advanced word have no interest beyond that which they are taught and whose use of certain chemical specifications which they must meet. On the whole, we feel that the overwhole majority of students, as they progress with their university studies, have those tithes in which they are most interested. They become sure of the fields in which they wish to study, and their interest is not regulated by the form of study, whatever they may be. This fact has become an obsession that many individual professors have entirely abandoned the reliance of their students on teacher milke, and occupies class time and class effort that could better be devoted to discussion of the text. If a student does not attend his class, he himself is the loser. If he is interested in the work, he beats the competition and is possibly able. Absence hinders not at all the work of other members of the class. In view of these facts, endure energy to "take flight" like wanted leaders in high school even like ruler of high school methods. Let us have a little less of this deliberate war propaganda that has entered the domain of the press. A certain well-known columnist, who officiated at the opening gazer, declares that the next war will be between Japan and America and that our Pacific coast will be the field of a great conflict. Also, he tells of a future conflict that will center in City, Boston and Washington will be utterly被迫 by a winged, foreign host unless we get ready for war. The Daily Cardinal. The power of the press is a mighty thing. Millions read what the papers say. History shows us that the press was a powerful force, and the mark嵌ucupully gave the press a false story of the conversation between French and German at the French ambassador. The night after the papers came out, France declared war on Germany—and lost. WAR AND THE PRESS "Build more planes," is his cry "War is inexitable if you do not." Agriculture, by gradual development in the course of thousands of years, has produced in very large quantities a rather small number of edible and non-edible forms such as makes them available for use as food for human beings or for cattle. Nature produces still larger quantities of carbohydrates which are stored in the stomach of men and beasts. Their main representative is the wood pulp which is contained to a very large percentage in the waste product. + divide them into two classes, by reason of their vastly different amount value. Need Use for Waste Wood Immeasurable quantities of such waste produce valuable products especially in the form of corn stalks. A considerable part of such waste can be converted to an economical way. In producing lumber, at least 50 per cent of the wood falls off as waste, being used in the construction of buildings. Bringing up wood means destruction of cellulose, that inner chemical substance of wood, so valuable commercially. Need Use for Waste Wood The present environment request for print paper steadily diminishes our stock of wood in the present, while higher energy costs and supply. A possibility of turning the forest waste into human nutrient or folder for cattle might considerably influence agricultural and forest palm oil production. A number of processes to realize chemically the reactions of hydrolyzing woodshulp have been developed in recent years. In this country, having been carried through many years ago, right here in this country, near Chicago. The aim of all these processes has been to reduce the use of harmful product, to be used in the manufacture of alcohol. All these methods have failed economically until now, because they have not yielded enough economical results. Product Gas Nutritive Value While the production of alcohol has been the ultimate goal of all these processes of hydrating wood palmetts in high temperature, the transformation of wood palmetts into foodstuffs has been developed during the last twelve years under my supervision. In Germany some fifteen years ago Wilkisset found by the action of highly concentrated hydrochloric acid that carbohydrates and finally into sulphate carbohydrates and finally into glucose. On the banks of these laboratory results we worked out my purpose in transforming all of our hundred parts of any dry wood about seventy-five parts of crude foodstuffs, containing 80 per cent of pure carbaryl or penta-carboxylated pine carboxylates is obtained from the dry wood. This product proved to be of high nutritive value and equal to any other foodstuff of like starch. In order to make it digestible to the raising of pigs, successful experiments have been made to transform the primary product, glucos, for nourishing human beings. We have now successfully transformed a cleaning process for this purpose and have produced pure glucose. Considerable difficulties had to be This goes to show that the press is a dangerous thing to tamper with. A work is often taken for granted, work is so broadcast, are not talking preparedness. Either through ignorance or because they are taking war and using all their power to cause one. Even if conditions are so bad as they say, they are stiring up the fires in their backs that every avenue toward peace will be closed. They are instilling a hate that will never help but keep war from occurring. Even if the nation were wooled unprepared, the people should not be able to help. How much better is the way the government and a few cool-headed men are going about it. For five or six years a Chicago lawyer has been training for the training of youth. Cool man like Colonel Lindbergh are assisting the airplane industry in the United States without a doubt. His government has just recently in...a momentous decision in regard to armament, and not because of the advice of these leaders. Let's not forget the cynical comment that Bismarck made after he saw that the press had been his tool. its effect had been, he said, that "of a red rag stamped on you, the iron must not let this happen to her." The Butler Collegian overcome during the twelve years of development of the technical methods and apparatus. The most difficult problem has been the separation and concentration of hydrochloric acid, with no less serious and hard work on the part of a rather large staff of chemists, engineers and workmen to be done to find the correct analytical method for containing leakages of hydrochloric acid vapors, constructing acid proof vessels and attending to many other details. Rather large amounts of capital had to be invested before an equipment could be operated without difficulties. In Germany, which is not producing sufficient agricultural carbohydrates for cattle food and which has a small amount of energy in the new this industry may become an important factor in its economies. But it may also prove useful to the United States, because the waste material of the waste material in the councils, for instance, begins to be a serious question on account of the increasingly destructive activity of methane. Obviously, the particular technical problems in every country have to be solved, but that is justifying the fact that it takes perseverance, faith and a good deal of optimism, not to speak of time, for prescribing an adopting a new industry of that kind.

Hugh Bently As Others See It --- SHALL ROCK CHALK DIE? A disappointing report is broadcast by the University Daily Kansas at Lawrence, and reprinted in the Kansas Press. It concludes with U.S.'s famous old battle cry, "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, K. U," is dying out. No longer, we learn from the Kansas Mountains how to survive in campus tradition, no longer is it the yell攒 up for emergencies on the football field, no longer is it the loudspeaker, no longer is the sidelines who dedicate their vocal resources to honor and vowery of the battles for the Crimson and the "New students are unfamiliar with it," says the Kitan, dependently, "and when it is suggested, when it is suggested." And so that's the state of things in the cheerleading-season. We have a suspicion that this news will be received by the old grads, taxpayers and all the other sturdy oaks of Kansas with that sort of dimayt in their minds. We feel that if the new students are unfamiliar with Rock Chalk, it should be made familiar to them; in the old days, most prospective students knew the swing of it before they were thrown into life, who have difficulty concealing their boredom perhaps are so dead to human motion that it were OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. VXII.

NOTICE TO FINE ARTS STUDENTS: Rock Chalk put the University of Kansas on the national map before it had much else to recommend it. It was known from coast to coast before he met the Hardyys and the other famous names were turned loose to spread the K. U. gospel. Let Rock Chalk die? not until Monnael Green has crumbled up. Until Uncle Jimmy Green has climbed down off his pedestal in front of the law building and trudged off into abjaclation, with his head bowed in shame. The hills for the second quarter are now due and have been mailed to students. Through error in copying, the bills for the second quarter were abbreviated first quarter. Students will please disregard the error and arrange to take care of these bills without delay. If this announcement is not clear, no new students, the matter will be explained further at the Fine Arts office. D. M. SWAETHOUT, Dean. Prospects at K. U. have never been bigger; faculty, administration, recreation and sports are clicking at top speed. Athletic presic­tive looks to be well on the way toward complete restoration; the coach is getting ready; the players plainly appear to the most careful visitor to the stadium. Now in the tinge not to let Rock Chalk die off is to allow it to continue and give it that old-time volume and ring of defence which puts chills and terror into the spines and hearts of the enemy across the field in days past. wantful to expand further effort upon them, but more profitable to concentrate upon the younger ones and save money to the same goal of paralysis.
