New Dean of Law at Kansas University
The appointment of Dr. William L. Burdick as dean of the University of Kansas law school is viewed as well earned and practical for the institution. He has served competently as acting dean and led the university during an emergency, ensuring continued faithful service. Additional Italian troop movements toward Ethiopia are noted, with one way ticket counts tied to the Ethiopian government's compliance with Italian aims. The piece also predicts possible postmaster general surplus announcements if the chain letter craze endures.

Lawrenc e Municipal Airport Proposed as Emergency Landing Field
Immediate consideration should be given to using Lawrence Municipal Airport as an emergency landing field when Kansas City airport weather is unsatisfactory. A linking field lights and telephone would have prevented the Macon crash. The port is among the state’s best, improved last year for 11 000 dollars, fog rarely blocks it, and it is 35 miles west of Kansas City. City leaders should seek federal aid to equip it for emergencies. Former King George of Greece says he will return to the throne when his country requests him, after the Venizelist revolt.
