Conch John Bumn of the freshman basketball team will coach the varsity basketball squad while Doctor Allen Hearn works with them on Friday and Saturday. This has been done to keep the varsity in heavy practice prior to the first game of the season.

"With every school entering team in every athlete event in the Big Six conference, athletes in the schools a whole promise to be much better and much easier handled during this time," Doctor Allen said this morning.
Society to Convene Here
Stauffer Addresses Meeting o Mathematicians
E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School, was the principal speaker at the convention of the southwestern section of the American Mathematical Association in St. Louis Saturday. General papers occupied the morning meetings of the convention and Dean R. V. Cameron comprised the afternoon program.
Prof. Florence Black, of the department of mathematics also attended the St. Louis meeting and read a paper as part of the program. The room extends as far east as the Rocky mountain region.
The society voted to hold its next meeting at Kansas University. The school is named for the 1850s urday following Thanksgiving, Dean Stouffer was rededicated secretary of the school for six years, and Prof. U. G. Mitchell was chosen chairman of the program.
Class Will Visit Schools

Experiments Throw New Light on Bane of Radio Listeners
Scientist Shows That Changes in Atmospheric Pressure Cause Static
Chicago, Nov. 30- Changes in atmospheric pressure may be one cause of static, greatest bane of the radio industry here to the American Physical Society by Dr. Richard Hamer, assistant professor at Pittsburgh. Not only static, but the related phenomena of earth curvature and the planet's magnetic, which make the compass needle change its direction, may possibly be explained similarly,
Doctor Hanner described a series of experiments he has made to站立 this possibility. He took a glass balloon that was placed earth and connected the top and bottom to a sensitive galvanometer. On account of the amount of slight current flowed through the circuit, which was indicated by the galvanometer. When the balloon was chained suddenly, the current varied also. Precisions were taken to present any effect due to the pressure of soil in the same way pressure on a telephone diaphragm decreases the pressure of the carbon grains in the soil.
When the galvanometer was replaced with a capacitor, the capacitor was placed to the top of the variation pressure within the tube was found to produce an electrical change in the capacitor's voltage.
Doctor Hamer explains this effect as apparently being due to a term called electron-electron interaction of the electrons, the atoms of elec tricity, in the earth when the pressure
"The experiments," says Doctor dummer, "seem to afford all explanations of the many various factors that cause waves, especially in the case of reception. Possibly harmonic changes cause variations in earth currents due to wave interference and surface soil resistance. If these are large enough to produce observable magnetic effects, they may explain some of those of the earth currents."

More Candidates Are Needed for Success of Women's Gun Team
Two Hundred Candidates Art Wanted to Tryout for Rifle Contest
At aton today there were 100 women who had signed for vifle practice. Since actual firing will not come, we are asking the rest of this week for students to enroll. It is hoped that the number of women enrolled will be increased considerably there may not be a team. The women's rifle team is the only woman's organization which is inter-species and cooperates with the association keeps the team from firing elsewhere but the contests are held in the respective schools and organizations.
There have been 12 matches scheduled so far but it is expected that there will be 20 before the season starts.
"Shooting is a fine training," Idean Meyer, sponsor of the team, said. "It has been found that she who have done the beat at shooting is the ones who have had experience and who have the interest."
The dollar gc which is required of all who enroll is used for purchasing sweaters for the 10 women who get the highest marks at the end of the first week. The first elimination will occur shortly after Christmas. At this time the squad will be cut to 50. Two weeks later the squad will be reduced to 30. The remaining members will compete in the various matches. The 15 students who make the best marks in the previous week are those who take part in the contests the following week.

Y. M. C. A. Forum Hears Negro Talk on Race Problems
Clement Richardson Tells of Modern Aspects of Inter-Racial Conflict.
Characterizing the present development of inter-racial adjustment as the Negro Renaissance, Clement Richmond, Ph.D., published a national school for Negroes at Topeka, traced the steps by which interracial maladaptation are coming to be settled in his address today most likely to the Y. M. G. A.forum at Myers Hall.
Declaring that most of the misunderstandings which exist between the race, and the popular conception of race differences were the result of a lack of awareness of its related emotional fallacies, Mr. Richardson showed how conferences and congresses throughout the country, especially in states where they overcome them and build up a truer and more logical relationship. The first conference of this nature took place in Atlanta following the "misintermediate" incident of 1909, the Atlanta riot.
Since then in such towns as Nashville, Atlanta and Fiske, inter-racial discussion of mutual problems has paved the way to a situation that is rapidly approaching the goal of realizing whites and Negroes have set.
Members of both races in the United States have grown up in possession of their own values, and the other that are based on fallacies which, Mr. Richardson said, must be understood. "The text taught that white men are oppressive, cruel, irregulous, and unjust, so has the white man been taught that the black man is oppressive, and such feelings, based on conditions that existed during three days, induced by intelligent reasoning."
The Negro has discovered
hite man is generous. During the
war, he took part in the war,
p arm feeling that they were not
nighting to save the Union, but
also to remove the stain of slavery.
he white man's black schools and
schools for the Negro I over the South and in the North.
be white man has done much to disl-
fe the feeling among Negroes that
their race is negative, according
o Mr. Richardson.
Likewise the Negro has, by his varks, dispelled the popular idea that whites are more gentlemen than blacks. Lawrence, Mr. Richardson said, is one of Douglas County's wealthiest truck gardeners who gave me the opportunity to Center in section of the state, is known as the patato king, and is owner of a larger farm where I have done all the manual labor of the South. He part 300JECT. Injected into his body Richard declared that it is a good thing that the Negro is shifftless, or there would be no work for any one man.
As a youth Mr. Richardson was subject to the contact of a white family in his childhood, which he much to steer him into the channels in which he later started his career. His early education was at Harvard University; later he attended educational institutions of a broader nature, graduating from Kansai University. Throughout his life he has been trained to see with his eyes what is important and prejudice. This latter ability is, he inferred in his speech, necessary before the proper adjustment between two peoples.
During the discussion period following his address, Mr. Richardson said that the matter of segregation is still a topic of great importance and situations was a matter of individual inclination. Some Negroes, he said, enjoy the competition which is offered by white students where there is no segregation. He said he felt that more training in leadership may be obtained in Negro institutions where they may hold class offices, engage more fully in school activities, and provide a assistant with members of their own race.
In response to another question, he bounced ahead to the stage where they would compare with other schools. There are many fine Negro high schools that may be classed as universities. Educated Negroes are yet limited in number there being no more than 100. Mr Richardson feels that Negro migration from the South has accomplished a great deal toward walking away from the South and ready new schools are sprouting up, new interest is being taken in problems of race, and the tendency is for future for the Southern Negro.
Later this afternoon Mr. Richardson spoke before the inter-racial group of the Y. M. C. A.
