Dr. Frank Herron Smith will use as his subject Wednesday morning at convention, "Japanese Ambition and American Hope."
For the last ten years Dr. Smith has been working among the Japs in Korea, and as the personal friend of Mr. Shin during his great influence in shaping the policies of the Japanese government in Korea. Before going to Korea Dr. Smith spent four years in missionary work in this country on a year's furfult.
His experience in Japan and Korea has given Dr. Smith a very good insight into the aims and purposes of the Japanese and he can give some very interesting sidings on Japanese foreign relations which have a great impact on his life in Japan, according t a statement by Professor E. F. Engel today.
Dr. Smith was graduated from K. U. in 1902. He attended Garrett Biblical Institution at Chicago from 1902 to 1905, and went to Japan the next year. He is now the foreign pastor of the First Methodist church here. His father, Dr. E. Smith, has charge of the University Hospital.
While in school Dr. Smith was a "member of the famous" *Jayhawk Quartet* which made a name for it and the University all over the state.
NO SPORT FOR FRATS
Lack of Time to Practice for Football.
It has been the custom in the University, for fraternities to vie among themselves for honors in football, baseball, and basketball. Since there have seen no visible signs of such competition this year, the Kanan has undertaken a campaign of investigation.
Owing to the absence of men in charge of these activities from their raternity houses—they were all either in bed or in class—the Kansas forced to work out this initialropodonna somewhat in the dark, because she had been home and although no definite information could be secured, due to the lack ofans, and the absence of their headmaster, a few facts were gathered.It has been tradition here that onlyanities of the same order shouldpete in these games. The three critical organizations, Phi Chi, Phi Psi, and Nigma Nu, for individuals, so the lawyers-to-be, and the potential engineers will be unable toup against them.
NUMBER 32
b] The Phil Chi's were unable to re-
entertain on any foullight schedule as
morning, and it is possible that b
 games of this nature will be play
this season. This is possibly ower-
to the lack of time to devote to
actuee, due to the increased amount
casualties prevalent during the
better months. However, they say
Cay are going strong for a baseball
Eli basketball wringed belt, their
playing, and as the sea-
odometers and baseball again
dries into its own, we are guaranteed
in good exhibitions of Pan Helenic
orts. But in the meantime, what
but some football.

D. S. C. Award Goes to Former K. U. Student
William R. "Ching" Meyers, Lawrence, and former student, was recently awarded the distinguished service cross for extraordinary heroism in action near Baulny, France on September 28, 1918. He was wounded in the shoulder by a machine gun bullet but continued to render first aid until wounded a second time. He was later awarded a decorative department of the Thirty-Fifth Division. Mr. Meyers is now connected with the Lawrence Mercantile company, a concern recently organized by business men of Lawrence.
UNIVERSITY IS SHOWN TO BE DEMOCRATIC
Students Holding Elective Positions From Many Walks of Life
That every student has his chance in the University of Kansas is shown graphically by an investigation made of the occupation of the students who hold the most important elective positions controlling the operations, facilities, Children of farmers, working for firemen, and clerks are included among the lists made up of the principal all-school organizations.
Of the four class presidents, one is the son of a mechanical engineer; another of a farmer; another of a farmer; and another of a retired farmer.
The girls in charge of leading student activities include the daughters of a brickmason, of a farmer, of an icecream maker, of a doctor, of a merchant and a clerk.
The captains of the two most popular athletic teams, football and basket ball are sons, one of a widow and another of an employer of a seed house.
R. O. T. C. Plans to Buy Permanent Camp Site
The father of the president of the Men's Student Council is a civil engineer; the father of the editor of the Jayhawker, the K. U. annual, is a merchant; of the business manager, an advertising man, of the magazine, a businessman, a retired groerman. The editor of the Daily Kansan is the son of a widow, who formerly lived on a Missouri farm.
As soon as possible the K. u. unit
as the R. O. T. C. will have a permanent camp which may be used as a base on the ground and end trips of the unit, according to plans announced by Major Harold Burdick this morning. The plans would involve several plots of ground containing several acres, and equipped with buildings.
The government is to provide motor transportation to and from this camp for all members of the unit.

Riley Will Operate on Field a Manhattan While Receiver Stays in Lawrence
Wilson Riley has efficiently installed a high powered wireless plant, at 1027 Mississippi Street, for the purpose of keeping students informed of the progress of football games played away from home. The students can be accurately informed of the progress of the team by plays rather than scores at the end of the season. Students play through the air to instruments in Lawrence, and it will be posted the instant that it is received.
Wilson Riley's instruments are capable of sending within a radius of 1000 miles and able to receive messages over 2,500 miles. He has recently communicated with wireless stations in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, and New Mexico, and says that it is easy to get in touch with Missouri and Alabama University, or Missouri and Alabama game the second the ball is passed by the receiver.
"It is a very unique way of accurately reporting the progress of the game by play, and I will willing to do that," he said. "The depe back to Lawrence football enthusiasts," is what Mr Riley told a Kansan reporter this morning when asked if he would donate his games and equipment for that purpose.
SOPH MIXER SUCCESS
Robinson Gym. Was Scene of Get-Together Meeting
The Sophomore Mixer, given in Routon Gymnasium, Friday evening, October 22, easily came up to the stair dard of other years, and although the crowd did not gather until late, it was well attended.
A. V. Reynolds was in charge of the affair and conducted it in an interesting manner. After the Sophomores had assembled, Mr. Reynolds introduced the class officers to them, and each one made a short talk following his introduction. When the speeches had been finished, the crowd was numbered, the odd numbers moving to the end of the even ones to the right. In this way each person was enabled to meet everyone else who was present.
After the Sophomores had become acquainted with one another, a fivepiece orchestra took its place on a small platform at the south side of the gymnasium, and the dancing began. Practically all of the dances were announced as tag dances, as many more were likewise in evidence, and this system likewise aided the students in acquainting themselves with one another.
This did not conclude the evening's program, however, as dancing was interrupted on several occasions in order to introduce other numbers. The students pronounced that Windsor would make a short speech. "Sandy" Windsor would make a short speech. "Sandy" was thoroughly "steamed up" and gave the students a regular old-time "peep talk." Following this he led the crowd toward the chalk which fairly raises the roof.
"Who Was Who" is a new book over at Spooner Library, which the students will find as indispensable as "Who's Who". To learn the details of the career of a distinguished man who has so far been necessary to look up in the books of "Who's Who", the annual volumes of which are confined to those still living but it is not the biographies of the living, only, that are required. So the biographies of all prominent the lives who died between 1857 and 1916 have been re-collected and collected into the present volume - "Who Was Who".
Later in the evening, refreshments were announced and a line was formed to pass by and receive the "eats." This served as an iued diversion, and the elder which was served was thoroughly enjoyed.
During the latter part of the entertainment, the K. U. pictures were presented by the gynaeum. The dancing was in process during practically the entire evening, and aloft the flor was well-filled with couples, it was not crowd-

Athens, Greece, Oct. 28—The election of Admiral Condorius as regent of Greece was considered certain today. The chamber of deputies will elect reagent to rule the country until Prince Paul or another ruler is selected.
Admiral Condouriotic Probably Will Be Chosen Regent
The Premier was quoted by the Athens correspondent of the Daily Mail as saying there was no doubt Paul would accept the crown.
On October 3 he was bitten by a monkey which had attacked his pet dog. His wound became infected and several operations for the removal of flesh were necessary. He was in a condition for many days. Nested surgeries were hurried to Athens, but the king wore grieve despite their efforts.
Athens, Oct. 26—King Alexander died at 5:20 last night.
Alexander became king in June, 1917 after his father, King Constantine, had abdicated on the demand of France, Great Britain and Russia. The Russians were then guarded the constitutional liberties of the Greek people.
In the spring of 1920 reports were circulated telling of the lack of harmony between Alexander and Premier Venizelos, but a statement from the premier in which he paid tribute to the king's patriotism disposed of these rumors. One point over which the king's mongarchic marriage to Mile Manos, daughter of a former aid-decamp to his father, which is said to have taken place in November, 1918.

"OH, OH, CINDY" HITS WELL WITH AUDIENCE
Initial Performance of Y. W.
Play With 350 in Cast Put
on Without Confusion
MALOTT STARS AS FAIRY
Betty Bradbury as Temperamental Follies Star Leads in Desert Adventures
Last night, at the Bowersock theatre, "Oh, Oh, Cindy" was staged for the benefit of the Y. W. C.A. It was enjoyed, and voted successfully by the large crowd which was more than 20,000 people. No any minor defects in presentation.
As Nero plied his violin industriously, the while Rome was immersed in an engulfing conflagration, he milt him and murmur to murmur, "Well, I will never ask you to home talent play." However, it is more probable that Nero didn't make this commentary and rather regrettely lost his chance to be able to witness such a production.
To Deane Malot, "Manager of the Folles" and around whose efforts to please his leading lady the theme of a fault, must go to the honors of the production that ran wild before a full house. The part of Cinderella Van Alkyne, the temperamental Folles star, was well taken care of by Betty Bradbury, who gave a lively portrait of "Cindy." Dal Barry, who played the part of Sheriff Bettroth to Cindy, carried off her from the court, his singing being one of the most delightful features. Bonnie White was also pleasing in soils, but she encountered a difficulty in making her voice carry. Other singers seemed to have this same trouble. Dorothy Madoa, like white, Cindy's negro made, good use of her lines, and rolled her eyeballs "vamping" Friday and Saturday, slaves of Robinson Crusader in Cindy's Dreamland, Mark Waggoner, in a song feature, "Come Along to the Movies," where seven characters showed the audience at a motion picture show, and clever a imitation of an incipient
Elisie Frisbie, who had stage direction of a revue entitled, "Songs of eustardy and Today," was really amazed by the kept audience in continuous motion. The appearance of Lora Mack, a solo tenorer, was much too short.
