GOVERNORS' MEETING IS A "FIFTH WHEEL"
So Says Gov. S. E. Baldwin On Mount Oread Today
GOV. HODGES HAS SAME BELIEF
Two State Executives Don't Think Much of Meeting Which Both Attended This Summer
The governors' conference, or "House of Governors," held in Colorado Springs this summer, which monitored the Bureau of Information Geo. II, Hodges of Kansas both attended, was characterized as a "fifth wheel" and a meeting where "he did not get a single idea of benefit to the state of Kansas" respectful morning, following Governor Baldwin's chapel speech.
"I have never anticipated the initiation of any important measures of reform by the governors' conference," Governor Baldwin said. "It is an extra-constitutional body. I have a feeling of apprehension with regard to the number of acts of constitutional device affecting the relations of the states to each other or to the United States, under our constitutional scheme.
"I fear the governors' conference is something of a fifth wheel and the fact that it has been attended of late only by a minority of the states and that still fewer of them have contributed anything to its support tend strongly to support this view. "Says Governor Hodges: "During my attendance at the governors' conference in Colorado Springs this summer, I did not gather a single idea that was of value to the state of Kansas, and I was there for five days at college fellow attention. That I am a new man at the governor job and that I am not in a position to speak as older governors can, but I got more ideas from Tom Tynan, warden of the Colorado penitentiary, than I did from the governors' conference."
The wives of faculty member and the women of the faculty will give a Halloween reception a Green hall tonight from eight o'clock until eleven for the new members of the faculty and their wives. The hall will be decorated with autumn leaves and the Halloween idea carried out in the table decorations. No arrangement has been arranged for the entertainment. Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, Dean and Mrs. J. W. Green, and Professor and Mrs. F. E. Kester will receive.

Author of "Idle Idol" Puts on "The
Spartans" in K. C. Soon
Geo. Bowles, a former University student prominent in dramatics, and now with the Kansas City Star, paid the Daily Kansan a visit this morning. Bowles is an old Kansan man of the days when the tri-weekly was published in the basement of Eraser ball.
Bowles is best remembered here for putting out probably the best original musical comedy ever done by a University student, "The Idle Idol." Since then he has successfully staged "the Skylarks," which ran at the Auditorium in Kansas City last spring, and has written another, "The Spartans" which is now the show with Laura Lee and later with Lucerne Denni, the Kansas City composer. Bowles expects to make a "killin'" with his new play, which deals with the sufferings of a bunch of society swells turner over to a physical training sanitarium for two weeks on a lost wager.
PROBABILITY IS THE GUIDE OF OUR LIVES
Governor Baldwin Gives
Scholarly Talk In
Crowded Chapel
MAKES ETCHINGS ON OREAD
Journalism Department Turns Out Cartoons by New Process
More distinguished guests were a chapel this morning than the 'University of Kansas has seen for a long time. Two governors, an ex-governor, and the members of the Board of Administration were present. Gov. G. H. Hodges of Kansas and ex-governor E. W. Hohe came to Lawrence to greet the distinguished juror and scholar, Simeon E. Baldwin, governor of Connecticut.
Governor Baldwin read a forceful address from which we quote: "We are philosophically bound to believe in the existence of God. The motto of the old Phi Beta Kappa society was, 'Philosophy is the guide of Life.' As a judge I say, 'Probability is the guide of life.' Whatever a court decides on, the balance of probability must be accepted as true. I accept God because it seems that God has such a divine power. The starry universe, the people of heaven, the physical laws which govern us all, are evidence that there is a power higher than ourselves."
Perhaps the largest crowd of the year heard the governor. The antiquated auditorium in Fraser could accommodate all who wished to attend.
BOARD TRANSACTS ONLY

By the use of a chalk plate outfit, which was received by the University printing department yesterday, plates for cartoons can now be prepared by the department. Heretofore the drawings were sent to Topeka where the old style zinc plates were made.
The chalk plate outfit consists of a zinc plate which is covered with a layer of chalk. The artist draws his picture directly on this chalk plate cutting the chalk away with a sharp steel knife. A layer of hot metal is then poured on the plate. When the metal has cooled it is removed, dressed down, and is then ready for use.
The cartoon by Maly which appeared in the Daily Kansan yesterday was the first cartoon to be made at the University by the new process. A second "homemade" cartoon appears today.
NEBRASKA WILL NOT BAR ROSS, THE NEGRO
City Papers Hint At Broken Athletic Relations Between Schools
The following article was printed in the Topeka Capital this morning under a Lincoln, Nebr., date line, while only papers printed similar dispatches:
Norman, Okla., Oct. 31. (noon)—As regards the outcome of the game this afternoon Coach Owen will make no prediction but believes that with no chance to win, the Sooners should win a third victory over their old enemy, the Jayhawkers. Oklahoma rooters struggle the hardest kind of a struggle but are relying on the strong backs of the team, trick, even though the line is weak.
"I shall ask the board or regents at the meeting next month to pass a rule forbidding such agreements seeking to bar any player on account of his color," was a part of the chancellor's statement, and this is taken as final as to Nebraska's move in the matter.
That Nebraska university would withdraw from the Missouri Valley conference if the University of Kansas continued to persist in the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" seeking to bar Ross, the Nebraska colored player, was practically admitted by Chancellor Avery today in a public statement, following the receipt of a letter from Mr. Karran, school, asking that Ross be barred because he is a negro.
"SORRY I CAN'T SEE THE CORNHUSKERS SHUCKING."
The athletic board may sever relations with Kansas, anyway, as a result of the team's participation.
"No," said E. T. Hackney, president of the Board of Administration, in session here today, "the Board will not be able to attend the Nebraska game. We'd like to, but we leave for Washington about that." "I'd like to see the game," he said. "I haven't the slightest doubt that we'll walk all over Nebraska, and I'd like to see the fun."

"If we beat Kansas here today it will be by our superior speed," said Coach Owens to the Oklahoma squad before the game. Courtright, the fast Sooner back who won the Kansas game last year with two kicks from placement spent considerable part of the week practicing kicking crossbar consistently from different angles. Owens' smile was much in evidence all morning showing that the former K. U. star is well pleased with the development in speed which the Sooner machine has undergone.
