All this was and is yeetr- year. "WHAT TO DO?" Back in the old days of yore, when the KU Ku's made noise while the football team made touchdowns, there was perfect harmony. 'There is now a discord. "Things isn't what they used to be when Ma and Pa went to college." But times have changed. "We don't want the Ka Ku's to sell programs. We don't want clever and entertaining stunts. The Ka Ku's don't need a free trip to a football game," means the athletic office. "We want rosters," the athletic off use tried to cry. The Ku Kui's rooted. "We want to help the athletes" the Ku Kui's used to shout. "We don't want the athletes to sell programs. We don't want the band to play every minute during the half. The athletes don't need the money from the program sales," proms the Ku Ku's. All this was said but yesterday, Now the Ku Ka's speak only to Jay Janes and athletes speak only to Phog. THE NEW STUDENT INITIATION Memorial stadium will be the scene of the Fourth Annual New Student Initiation this evening at 7:00. The purpose of this initiation is to symbolize the rise of the Hill traditions. The initiation ceremony was started with the class entering the University in the fall of 1924. The members of that class, who were the first to have the Athenian oath administered to them at the stadium, today are seniors. The New Student Initiation has developed with the class, and now it is one of the most impressive ceremonies of the year. So this evening, the new students and many of the upperclassmen will assemble in the west stadium. There will be no procession this year. On a speaker's platform on the cinder track will be the chancellor and perhaps a few representatives of the administration, representatives of each of the four classes, and an alumni representative. The chancellor will give the welcoming address, and during the speech, a runner, carrying a torch, will start from old North College Hill, the site of the first University building and present site of Carolin hall. The runner will wind his way to the Administration building, and then to the Rock Chak cairn, where he will pause to commemorate the outstanding events in the life of the University. From there, another uniformed runner will take the torch from him, bear it down to the stadium and band it to an alumni representative. The ceremony is simple and impressive. The carrying of the torch from the site of the first University building to the present site symbolizes the growth of the institution from a manager start to the great power that $|b|$ today. The pause at the Rock Canyon calls is symbolic of the respect that the students of the University of Kannas have for its traditions. The concluding part of the ceremony is the administering of the Athenian oath, which is repeated by the new students in unison. After that, the Crimson and the Blue, and the "fresh" is prepared to make his appearance on Mount Orne the following morning with a little blue bonnet pulled securely over his locks. THE CHINESE SITUATION THE CHINESE SITUATION Why did Kiang Kui-shi resign as military head of the Nationalist armies of China? Obstacles and presented themselves in such array that immediate success for his policy was impossible. Communicative elements of his party had attempted to discredit him. The policy of compromise with the privileged foreign states found little sympathy in the "no compromise" policy of the radical group. This according to Harold S. Quigley, in Current History magazine, and disagreement with his Russian adjuvant Borodin, was the cause of Chiang Kui-shi's resignation. The Nationalist party has suffered a split. It was only with the retirement of Chiang Kaishek that there could be any hope of reconciliation between the radical and conservative groups. LICHTENSTEIN Before the flood Liechtenstein was one of the wealthiest little nations in Europe. Agriculture and stock raising were very highly developed. But now all the cattle safely repose on Lichtenstein, one of the smallest principals in the world, is now a mess of mud. The little nation has an area of 65 square miles, about one twentieth the size of the average county in Kansas—and a population of nearly 10,000 people, fewer than the city of Lawrence. But it is big enough to undergo national tragedy. The little country is now a huge bog, with only house tops and church steeper protruding out of the mud. When a dam in the Rhine river holding 5,000 feet of water broke Monday night, the fledgling. The cows and the children were taken to the high land, and the adult population, as soon as the water had receded, went in to clear out the debris and mud.

Dressing Well Isn't a Matter of Luck If the woman across the street and her deburuate sister always look stunning as they leave the house, don't lay it to luck or extravagance either. Their clothes budget is probably no larger than the rest of the women's in the neighborhood. The real reason probably lies in the fact that they carefully study some good fashion magazine and then do their buying at a store which their own knowledge tells them has the stylish things at the right time.
