"Athletics for Women Combats Smoking," He Said
"Competitive athletics for university women is a means of combating the tenency to smoke," said Dr. F. C. Allen in an address before the Kansas State Teachers' Association at Twek, this afternoon.
"College men playing on American artery teams are using lower cigarette packs," Dr. Allen, and he believes that the reason for this is that educators have failed to direct the activities of the young women toward some vital actin continuing masters of the house
Defeats Only General Slump
He said that he did not believe the modern young women to be any worse than those of other generations, but that the men, due to the disciplinary rules of the athletic field, have definitely formed habits which stop them from doing the things that would harm their development for this training. He declared that the athlete has learned that proper habits are necessary in order to win and that successful athletes were emulated by younger boys.
"I have no formula for female education." Doctor Allen stated, "But my notion is that women do not play enough. I do not mean inter-college competition, but I do mean competition. This will make better sports and also play in the men's athletics as well as be emphasized the more they play."
There will be swimming tests for women Saturday morning from 10 to 11.—Miss Margaret Barto, physical education department.
Republicans Take Election Results With Equanimity
Party Satisfied to Continue Senate Numerically With Majority in House
Washington, Nov. 5.—President Coolidge and his political associates are taking election results with equanimity.
(United Press)
There is no dismay at the situation.
The United Press was told today reliably that the White House is "not taking tragically the defeat of Sen. McCain and Dive and five Republican senators."
In fact, the Republicans, now taking stock for the first time since the 1960s, are in the process of holding the senate numerically even if not with workable control, and are therefore
The defaults are viewed as only the general slump of mid-term election; in fact, even less of a slump Dum many other administrations have尝.
While there was a personal sorrow over the political passing of friends and countrides, there was a firm belief the result would not react to the deterrent of the party or Mr. Coolidge.
Republicans retain numerical control of the senate by an eye-lash in contests which covered but 23 states. House is not involved. House in contests which covered every state. If the Republican can pass no program legislation, at least they can prevent the opposition from passing legislation, it was pointed out.
Same Situation Previously
They have no program for additional reform. They do not desire any tariff legislation and they want to hold off a while on tax reduction. They are content to let things stand in they are. It isn't the same as if they had a plan of reform and lacked the majority to it across.
As for Mr. Coolidge suffering an loss of prestige because of the deat, and particularly because he enforced Butler in his home state, Reubilicans say that is a hasty conclusion.
Virtually the same legislative situation existed in congress in 1922-1924. The group some times designed as Republican "insurgents" held a similar balance of power and in the next election Mr. Coulidge was elected President. He was ultimately ever obtained—seven million votes more than his nearest rival.
Wet-Dry Fight Blamed
Wet-Dry Fight Blamed
Their position, it was suggested, is
est illustrated by the comment of a
New Jersey congressman.
"Well, we lost one congressional district," he said. "We lose it every other year. Every time we have a presidential candidate we carry it and every non-presidential year it goes back to the Democrats."
The wet-dry fight in several states is blamed largely for Republican upets, and in the circumstances the president's associates find no cause for dismay for themselves nor any cause for Democratic rejoicing.
Auditorium Walls Rising
Front Will Be of White Stone Like That in Library
The concrete floor for the new auditorium is now completed, and the wooden framework is being removed. Workmen started the front today, which is to be built of white stone with a stained-glass window of material as is used in the library.
The structural steel work is finished with the exception of a few side wall plates. The brick wall will be about sixty feet high when completed. All of the brickwork will be faced with white brick with the exception of the bottom and so forth. These places are to be put in temporarily and will be torn out when the wings, which are included in the plans, are added.
It is expected that appropriations for these wings will be granted by the state legislature this winter, in accordance with what may be finished according to plans.
All students possessing enterprise tickets must present them with their seat tickets for the game Saturday or Sunday at the ticket—Ralph Albin, athletic office.

Musicians From Kansas City Secured for Varsity

"I feel that this orchestra is as goo, as any in this section, and this dance should be the best variety so far this year," said Pennington.
"There seems to be an opinion among some of the students that the crowds at the variates are so large that it is difficult to dance," continued Pennington, "but although the variance dance is popular, the number at the last two seemed to be just enough for the size of the hall."
According to Pennington it is the aim of the managers to give the students the muscle they like, and it was the job of the bassist that, as curated the Kansas City orchestra.
