Freshmen of Universit Initiated Last Night With Program in Stadium
By Philip W. Edwards
In a fan of light which illuminated the north end of the stadium and shone on an audience of some three thousand persons, the new students of the University were initiated yesterday evening with the impressive cereal which made them a part of the school and traditions of the school.
The speakers platform, situated directly in front of the north curve of the stadium, was decorated with the colors of nation and school. An illuminated seal of the state of Kansas occupies a prominent position on the platform.
Doctor Strong Presidios
In the front of the platform were seated Sheffield Ingalls, Atchison banker and president of the alumni association, the principal speaker of the university, Richard W. School of Law of the University who presided in the absence of Chancellor Lindley; Mrs Hannah Ohlert, retire assistant professor of Latin of the University and member of one of the early graduating classes; Mrs. A. M Wilcox, daughter of former Chancellor Marvin; Mrs. Caroline Spangler widower of former Chancellor Spangler Mrs. Martha Spangler Mrs. Barbara Snow, Registrar G. Ouster, Dean D. M. Swartborn of the School of Fine Arts, and Paul Parker, c28, cheer leader.
At the rear of the platform were seated the students who took part in the ceremony as representatives of their classes. These were: graduates, Dick Strawn and Rose McColloch senior, Clarence Munns and Lois Straight; juniors, Harold Jorge Segura, Paula Berry, Paul Stouts and Ruth Breidenbart; cremens, Jim Hodges, and Holen Marke Parry.
The program was opened by the reading of scripture by the Registrati. Following the scripture reading Miss Hannah Olver told of the establishment of the University, briefly tracing the history of the school down to the present time. She spoke of the opening of the University on old North College Hill in Lincolnshire, and of a fire fighter rescheduled on old North College Hill by the Mottersh society and of the signifier of the basket.
Alumni Welcome Freshmen
Sheffield legals was the next speaker. He offered a welcome from the older alumni to the new and restless young. "We great you, not fear and terror for you," he said, "that you have arrived, booted and spurned, to fight the fray as true soldiers," he said. The speaker brought handclamps from the listeners when he spoke of his knowledge of the younger generation and his confidence in their ability because of that knowledge. He expressed the hope of being invited to University and this modern world in their entirety so that the ideals of both might be clearly grasped.
"Be not backward," said Mr. Inglisa "Be torch bearers. Let your lights so shine that men may see your good works. It behooves you to be willing to as to render the maximum service to our follow men." The speaker closed with a tribute to the faculty and an admonition to the new students to give as well as they could in order that their lives here and her former might be happy
Torch is Lighted
At this point a bugle call gave the signal for the lighting of a torch on top of the hill. The torch then carried through the camp and down to the Rock Chalk pile by runner. The torch bearer hesitated here and moved upright, brought the front to the stadium.
In the interim Doctor Strong gave an address to the new students on the initiation and entrance into the University. "In the name of the Chancellor," said Doctor Strong, "I call on you to give great loyalty to the highest ideals offered by this University."
Doctor Strong then gave to the freshmen the Athenaean oath of loyalty to the University of Kansas. During the oath the seal of the state was imprinted on the back of all lights were turned out and a burglar call sounded in the night air. Far up

Thirteen Fraternities on Hi Received Punch Boards and Watches
On a complaint from the University students local police yesterday arrested A. J. Tucker, Reno, Nova, purge of punch boards to college men, Tucker, formerly a fraternity jewelry salesman, was arrested as he approached a local fraternity house to sell his trade.
Trucker's project is centered in a pinch board with a cheap strap watch to the prize. He had mailed punch boards and watched to the secretories of local fraternities together with intelligence officers, who were told to sell the punches, totaling $21.90, the lucky number receiving the watch. At the appearance of Trucker with the password given in the letter the secretary was to turn over the proceeds and receive a watch for fourier, or if he preferred $21.90 in each.
Thirteen fraternities on the hill had received the watches and pouch boards prior to Tucker's arrival Wednesday. However, at the time of his arrest he was just starting his rounds, having vilied only three houses. He had secured $13 at his house, 10 per square mile, and the ratten of his board at the third house.
Tucker expressed surprise at being apprehended by local authorities since he has made successful calls to other college campuses in the western states, but he paid his fax of $50 more was released.

"Students trying out should be able a talk for two or three minutes in Spanish." Gilberto Robles, c29, president of the organization said. "They may also combine with others who are seeking membership in the club and give a short drama, playlet or dialogue.
Those wishing to try out should turn their names in to some member of the faculty of the department of Spanish or to Robles.
whether the students are taking any Spanish at present is not as important as whether or not they are able to speak the language, for all of the meetings of El Atencio will be connected in Spanish."
in the hill side at the Rock Chalf several fires were lighted and precisely the torch heaver from North Ridge brought up heights to the tower down to the stadium.
Ceremony of Torch Enacted
The torch was handed first to Stef-
field inguis, representing the alumni
of the university, and then to
switissaries of the graduate school, the

German Dirigible, Now Out on Sea, Is Sailing Steadily
Crew of Huge Airship Hopes to Land in New York Sunday Night
Off Route to Avoid Storm
Wind North of Azores Forces Fliers to Leave Course for Safety
The Zoppele reported "all well" today but did not divulge her position. She was believed, however, to have been the Atlantic by way of Māruba.
Hortn, Azores, Oct. 12—(UP) The Graf Zeppelin at p. 7 m, Greenwich time (1 p. m, EST) had passed the Azores to the south and was in latitude 37.43 north, longitude 33.43 west.
The Graf Zeppelin, flying from Friedrichsburg, Germany, to the United States, apparently was over the South Atlantic today, making her way to this country to the south of a city where she is moving as far down as the Acores.
May Pass Bermuda
Because of the storm, the dirigible was expected to continue her southern course, probably continuing to the United States by way of Bermuda and New York. Then it arrived at N. J., her destination. It was uncertain that she would pass over the Anorax, not only because of the trampled weather to the north but also because it would mean a wide northward incursion instead of a straight lift to Bermuda.
The Awores are about 690 to 999 miles due north of Madeira. The Graf Zeppelin was chewed by the people of Madeira and the passengers waved greetings from the cubin windows.
When the Graz Gefelp琳in reached Madiera, she had covered 1,500 miles of road, which he left at 12:51 a.m. or CST, Thursday. He took the digible approximately 20 hours to make the speed gap of about 63 miles in four.
May Arrive Sunday Night
May Arrive Sunday Night
The speed he made for it
would appeal to the Grif Zapplin
could not reach New York until some
time Sunday night.
When the Graf Zeppelin left Friedrichshafen, Doctor Eckner expected to make the flight in about 70 hours. However, the machine was fueled for almost twice that amount and one Spanish aerial engineer official said there was only half as much fuel as half the world and that thus there was no reason for fear if the speed was greatly diminished.
There are plenty of provisions aboard the Graf Zeppelin for the added hours which the flight will require. Thousands of pounds of food are prepared in the electric kitchen for serving on this flight. Choice veals, sausages and fresh vegetables and fruits were stored away. The menu arranged was as complete as the trans-Atlantic steamboat lines.
Thus there was little chance of any of the payees—some of whom paid as high as $3,000 for the honor of making this first flight—a-suffering.
Hurra Report Unconfirmed
At Hottus, the report was at Hottus, reported at 7:35 a.m. cMST that the Graf Zoppelin had passed over Medium. The report was
The British steamer Gymnastic reported at 5 a.m. on, FNT, that she had sighted the Graf Zepellan at 7 degrees west and 30 north. That is a point on the southwest of Africa and about 140 miles from Madrid.
Previous to the report from the Gameric, the Graf Zeppelin was last officially sighted at Castellon, on the east coast of Spain. At even a speed, she would pass beyond Glatirath by this time, and since she had been in all three of our warships, she pierced little doubt that she was over the Atlantic.
At 12:30 a.m. she notified the GIBraltar wireless station that she was passing that vicinity, the wireless station at Labon announced.
Not Seen at Strait
Watchers at Gibraltar reported that the Zeppelin was not seen there, and previous to the report from Lisbon it
