"I wish to commend those men who have had the courage to confess their participation in this affair," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley. "They are standing out and taking their punishment and they are not asking any mitigation of punishment.

"The aim in setting this particular punishment was to deal adequately and appropriately with the offense without interfering with the prosecution," he said. "Versity work," said Dean Dyer in commenting upon the affair. "In the absence of the Chancellor I should like to say that the seriousness of the whole affair has been multiplied many times." He alluded almost all the stories regarding the trip have been the result of vivid, but inaccurate imagination."

Different Creeds State Viewpoints to Sociology Club
Two Religious Sects Oppos Klan in Joint Meeting; Knights Are Upheld by Student
individuals representing four different viewspoint about the Ku Klux Klan gave four fifteen-minute talks Thursday night at a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan in Chicago. E.Vestro, c29, took the affirmative, presenting the Kliens's side of the issue. C.B. Jenkina, negro, M.S. Zimmerman, 126, Jew, and John Gretty, 124, who presented their viewpoint, all took the negative.
Walter Morrison, c.24, president of the Sociology club, presided at the meeting. Before the opening of the discussion Morrison stated that it was the hope of the club to get organized in a short time in such a way that the club would be a really active social organization, co-operating with the other clubs or members of the other departments of the social sciences. He asked us what we could do in every way they could to make the club of continued value in promoting future discussions.
Vestle Defends
"The clammy persons in this country lie under the pressure and those of foreign families. When the people criticize the Klan for being clamish, I think it is unjust because we are only copying the Negro, the slave, who was in charge in his talk. The Klan is accused of doing many things they do not do. Members of the Ku Klux Klan are under oath to unhold and defend the constitution of the United States," he concluded.
C. B. Jenkins, a negro, next gave his side of the issue. "If these people who are known as the Ku Klux Klan are Americans and law-abiding, they would find some way in which to prevent flaggering parties and tar and fother parties which are done under their insignia. If they permit these persons to continue doing these things, then they are innocent then they are just as guilty as if they did the deeds themselves," said Mr. Jenkins.
Jekkins Scores Ku Klux
"Parade as much as you please, you cannot scare people just because you are marching up and down the street at night in your wife's life or you can sit on a bench in States flag and if you members of the Klan are 100 per cent American then come out and take the pillow off your head as others do in the presence of the flag," continued Mr. Jenkins. "Those who pay least attention to the government are the ones who stand unacceptable to the klan. They are the undecided these as a rule."
“Principles of the creeds are not different to any great extent, but it is only their form that is different. If we are law-abiding people then let us abide by the law which says that a man may believe in any way he wishes about religion, and that he may subscribe to any creed he wishes,” stated Zimmerman. “Every man who was in the A. E. F. Church, or to himself the Knights of Columbus and Jewish Welfare Lodge did more for the boys in the front lines than did some if the better known organizations who carried on, in part, the same kind of work.”

REGISTRATION BY NOON FOR ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL EDITORS' CONFERENCE SURPASSES TOTAL FOR LAST YEAR
More Than Two Hundred Journalists and Instructors Arrive; Round Table Discussions and Talks Now in Progress; Seventy Kansas Towns Represented by Delegations
At noon today more than two hundred high school editors and faculty advisers had registered for the fourth annual High School Editors' convention at the University of Kansas. The delegates began to arrive early yesterday morning and continued arriving throughout the day. According to L. N. Flint, professor of journalism, the attendance has already increased over that of last year by at least ten per cent; at present more than seventy schools are represented.
High School Views
Honors for traveling the longest distance to the conference go to Garden City, whose four representatives traveled about 325 miles to get here.
Fifteen representatives from Burundi make their group the largest in attendance. Most of the visitors are here, for today only, however.
Official registration of the delegates began at 9 a. m. and the remainder of the morning was filled with round table discussions and talks by the members of the faculty of the department of journalism.
One delegate delivered a rather doubtful compliment when she looked admirably around the news room and saw the news paper office—so营扰上!"
Three enterprising journalists started a check stand and are considering buying a newspaper with the proceeds.
The best compliment of the day was received when an editor thought the library was a new wing of the Journalism building.
Credit must be given to the delegates for early rising. A group of three were on hand this morning within two or three minutes after eight, before any of the reception committee had shown up.
A discussion group in the department library was almost broken up by a slight commotion made by the workmen on the new library. "Another stone's falling," wailed a student, and led the dash from the room
'Lightnin' Will Play Here
Record Long-Run Performance Has Human Appeal
"Lightin' in" which comes to the Bowersock theater Saturday for a matinee and evening performance holds the world's record for long run performances in New York and ran for more than two years in Chicago.
Written by John Golden and Winchell Smith, the play has its primary appeal in its humanness of character portrayal, and its fidelity to life. The play's cast includes the late Frank Bacon, who played it in during its long New York and Chicago runs. Thomas Jefferson, a son of the famous Joseph Jefferson, takes the leading role, that of Mr. Washington as cast which will play in Lawrence.
The play is a character study of an old man who is more or less of a drifting, easy-going, careless soul, but who has the redeeming feature of being lovable and trustworthy. It is essentially a one man show.
Rhadamanthi Initiates Ten New Kansas Bards
Ten new members were initiated into Rhadamthii Wednesday evening. After the initiation services, each of the new members read an original poem. About twenty were present at the meeting.
The new members are: Margery
Day, c26; Etheter Freese, c24; Hert-
ber Ranson, c24; Eater Holcomb,
c24; Beverly Clark, c24; Adnaus,
c25; Earl Crucienkank, c24;
Mary Catherine Howe, c24; Mona
Fouk, c25; and Mary Kelleher, c27.
A ground hog is said to be making his home behind the power plant. He is very friendly, and does notresent being watched. However, none of the reporters have been able to get an interview yet.
"I wish to command the marked improvement noticeable in high school newspapers from five or six years now," said Ben Hilbs, incident commissioner. "We've called 'News for High School Panthers.' 'There has been a steady improvement in both the quality of news and the style. Also, I want to recommend that your paper have its primary interest of the stalkers,' he concluded.
In his discussion of "Business Success of the Paper," W. A. Dill pointed out the fact that the reader of the high school paper is a more intensive audience than those in city papers, and stressed this point in regard to the attitude taken by some of the advertisers in the high school paper. In his talk to the advertising and circulation managers of the high school newspaper, he discussed subscription campaign, the follow-up, conditions governing price and costs, delivery, and the day of publication.
According to Ivan Benson, instructor in journalism, the principal criticism of the high school paper as a workbook is that it lacks standard style. The reason for this was ascribed to the fact that the stuff of the paper changed about every two months. He suggested as a remedy that the newspaper should be followed by each succeeding staff.
"Practically every meeting seems to be but an appetizer for the one to follow," said Professor Flint this morning. "Our only difficulty seems to be that there is not sufficient space to accommodate the visitors. At the meetings, the rooms were full and overfowling."
Perhaps one of the outstanding features of the convention is that the principal speaker and guest of honor was Marcelus Murdock, editor of the Wichita, owes his own airplane which constitutes his hobby. He was due to arrive at moon but on account of a north wind was about an hour late.
Mr. Murdeck spoke at a meeting this afternoon and discussed the position of the editor and publisher. W. C. Simons, editor of the Journal-World, also spoke on the various issues of the journal. We were held each hour from 2 to 4. At 4:30 a "Seeing K. U." tour was conducted for the visitors.
Tonight the guests will attend the annual Press Club dinner to be held at the University Commons. Tomorrow afternoon they will be the guests of the Kansas University Athletic Associatio, and reserve seat tickets for the Kansas-Drake game have been presented to the delegates.
