Dean Joshi Points Students To Task Of World Guidance
Christianity At Stake,
Says William Biby,
Describing World
Conditions
That no nation can live to itself and survive; that the United States, through the agency of the Great War which racked Europe, is coming out of its isolation young and vigorous; and that Europe and the world is looking to us for progress and real leadership, the words of S. L. Joshi of Baroda College, India, to the student body of the University.
Must Study Attitude
"K. U. men and women are called upon to realize this call of the world to them," said Mr. Poshi, "and I hope you will get the inspiration to acquire yourselves like men and women in the years of work to come."
Turning to the subject uppermost in mind, "The meeting ground of all the surviving streams of culture in the world is India," he said. "These are the Chinese, the Mohammedan, the Angle-Saxon, and the Indian. The Chinese culture remained closed there, but when there was built on the shores of the river Indus a great civilization which has made its influence felt.
Christians Must Act
The importance of acclimating the attitude of mind of the average Indian, said the speaker, can hardly be estimated if one wishes to obtain a complete understanding of him. He belives, for one thing, that the soul of man is just a fraction of the universal soul and that a birth is merely a reincarnation in the flesh of the permanent soul. The whole universe asserted Mr. Joshi, to the Indian is spiritual. Intellectual men of the empire, have penetrated this veil of disillusion and sought out the facts
"The crescent will supplant the cross in Europe soon if Christian influence is not brought to bear by America and England!" declared Wilhelm Neyler, a worker for the Near East Relief and a representative of the Cappar publications in Europe, in an appeal to University students for support of
"Today," continued the speaker,
"We are nearer war than we were in June, 1914. Civilization is right at the present time in worse jeopardy than it has been in centuries. And all the while we Americans are jazy,
warm and kind to people, young lives, perfectly oblivious to the awful conditions in the Near East.
"The fact that 1300 years ago there were 10,000 Christians over in those countries to every one there is today, and that for every person converted to the Christian faith, there are one hundred converted to the Mohammedan religion in Britain, who still persistently portraying the conditions which have come about.
"The Smyrna massacre can be blamed to America and Great Britain because they were lax in welding a Christian influence in those countries. They have lost more in the past 200 years than they've gained in all the time gone before."
Building temple in Paris
"Right now they are building a temple in Paris, France, that the Mohammedan community is spreading, and it can only be checked by the proper Christian influence. Two thousand years ago he sword to plant the cress wherever he fought his way, and it became a shrine."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOV. 3. 1929
he is determined to overthrow Chris
quality if he can."

Old Grads To Speak At Dad's Day Dinner After Football Game
University Commons Will Serve Meal in Their Building Instead of Gymnasium
Dad's Dinner is to be held at 6:30 o'clock Saturday evening, in the University Commons instead of in Robinson Gymnasium as previously announced, according to Dean Dyer.

U. quarterback, will give talks. The only chance for those who have not made their dinner to be in after William Allen White's address is that they may be able to come in after the dinner. Another addition to the program is a new song, "Our Fighting Dads" by Mark Mohler, the Unitarian minister, which promises to be a hit of the evening. All those who have made reservations will be at the Commons at 6:30 o'clock, so that the dinner will be over in time for events later on in the evening.

Crimson And Blue Rooters To Make Stadium Tremble
Students Are Conducting Sale Of Skull Caps In Downtown District
A riot of crimson and blue, waving back and forth in perfect unison! A bush. Then a resounding Rock Chalk from the throats of thousands of loyal Kansans who will make the concrete pillars of the Kansas Stadium shake in anxiety for the fate of the Oklahoma Sooners. That is going to be a feature of tomorrow's game with the lads from the south.
Caps on Sale Downtown
Assurance for the biggest feature of the occasion—outside the game itself—the rooter section (G) in a great, formidable rectangle of crimson and blue, flanked on either side by the white lines of steps, is given by the report that the men who are signed up for and assigned seats in the team have been colored felt headgear rapidly, in anticipation of the greatest demonstration of Jayhawker cheering which has ever been heard on old McCook.
The 250 crimson and the same number of blue skull caps have been ordered and are on sale today at Carl's by university students. Virg Miller, University cheerleader and pup generator, has announced that the cranium decorations will be on sale at the store until noon tomorrow, giving each and every man who holds a ticket for section G, an opportunity to buy one for the stipulated thirty-five coppers.
"The even numbers of rows in the stadium," said Miller this morning, "will purchase the blue caps and the odd numbers, the crimson. In case a color comes up, you can easily exchange tickets, and sit in the right color-row."
"We are going to have a great demonstration of unified cheering when the men in Section G get together and bust a lung on the Thunderclap and the old Rock Chalk. We are expecting every loyal Kansas roster in the section to have his cap tomorrow afternoon because we not only want to make a game that will stand out to other home games this year, but we want to make a good impression on the opposite side of the stadium tomorrow."
Miller explained that he and his assistants have a number of good stunts "on tap" and that they were ready to spring them as soon as the men have purchased their headgear. He wants especially to work up some offense against the striking demonstrators for the Nebraska game here on November 11.

"Marriage Of Kitty Is Played Before Well-Filled House
inson Today
"The Marriage of Kitty," a Cosmo Gordon Lennox three-act comedy, featuring Mercedes Desmore and Hilda Inglen, presented by Messrs. Laurence Clarke and Theodore Ross, Beverly Hilfiger, and Ronald Gymnasium this afternoon.
"Rosseromphalus," a huge success by Ibsen, will be presented at 8:00 clock night, and "Easter" by Auclair on Friday night, will close the engagement.
The play was a very snappy affair and drew much applause from the appreciative audience. The play well deserved the prominence as first of the series of three composing The Festival of Modern Plays because of its presence in it appeared the entire east of characters who present the three plays.
Because many persons holding tickets for the play tomorrow night will attend "Dad's Dinner" which will probably not be over until 8:30 o'clock, "Easter" is being delayed until that time.
Miss Ingle, playing the part of Madame de Semiano, a Peruvian widow, in "The Marriage of Kitty" has been pronounced by critics as one of the greatest Ibsen actresses of today. She has created five of Ibsen's heroes in the original casts at the Royal Theatre, Stockholm. Ibsen personally selected Miss England to create the role of Mother Ase in "Peer Gynt," of Regina in "Ghosts," and of Gerd in "Brand."
Miss Desmore who shares honors with Miss England in the play festival is an English actress who has for the past eight years been playing opposite Lou Tellegen and John and Lionel Barrymore.
Is Citizens' Duty To Vote
Professor Chubb Urges Students to Exercise This Privilege
"It is not only a privilege but a binding duty for ever citizen of voting age to exercise his prerogative," said Prof. H. B. Chubb, of the department of political science, in an interview today relative to the general elections on Tuesday, November 7.
"We claim we are a democracy," continued Professor Chubb, "yet we are not exercising the great debate upon ours. We must upon ourselves to express a choice. "In some European countries, laws providing for compulsory voting have been instituted. I would advise such a law in our country if in the future the great American people continue to be as indifferent as they have been in the past. Such a course should be taught and served as ours. Every citizen should be interested as a citizen without resort to compulsory methods."
"I sincerely urge every student of voting age in the University of Kansas to ascure his privilege on November 7. If there is any class of students who are intelligent ballot it should be the potential leaders of tomorrow."
