Lawyers Start Snow Battle But Are Forced To Retreat
Lawyers, plying their time-honored tradition of sitting on the steps of Green hall to heckle passers-by, found one stunt which boomeranged this week.
Several of the junior shysters thought it would be great fun to put some of that snow lying around to use in the form of snowballs. They were pelting students passing Green hall with great success until some of their victims caught on.
The resulting hail of snowballs drove lawyers behind pillars and inside Green hall itself. The barrage continued until one snowball smashed a window on the west side of the main entrance.
With that the would-be besiegers sheepishly folded their books and silently stole away.
Winter feuds were not limited to snowballing the lawyers. Down on Tennessee street it was fraternity against fraternity until they pooled their resources and pitching arms against the sororities in the vicinity.
A fort erected on the front lawn of Carruth hall was demolished and the girls driven to cover by a group of "unknown men," but an emaciated snowman by Templin hall escaped damage.
Even two skiers were seen scooting across Jayhawk drive and vanishing down the slopes of Mt. Oread back of Green hall.
Which brings up a question. What has Colorado got that we haven't—besides a 67-57 victory over K-State.
Snow Won't Bring Flood In Kansas
There is little prospect of flood conditions in this area after the heavy snow, according to V. C. Fishel engineer in charge of the ground water division of the State Geological Survey.
"A quick thaw followed by some heavy rains might possibly flood the Missouri river," Mr. Fishel said, "but it is not likely the Kansas river will rise to any alarming degree. The Missouri river flows down from the Dakotas where the snows were heaviest."
The snowstorm will prove to be more beneficial than detrimental, he added. "The wheat crop received moisture it ordinarily needs about this time of year."
"Ever since the flood last summer," Mr. Fishel said, "the underground water table has been declining and this affects water supplies in localities throughout the state."
Food In England Is Cheap But Austerity Cuts Rations
London—U(P.)—England is the home of austerity, and this is what austerity means;
Meat, bacon, butter, margarine fats, cheese, sugar and tea are rationed. What there is of food is relatively cheap for the English worker, however.
The worker gets about 16 cents worth of meat each week for himself and the same amount for each member of his family. Meats differ in price but steak, for example, is about 37 cents a pound.
That shows how little meat he eats, even when the meat ration goes up slightly over two shillings a week, which it does in peak periods.
The average manufacturing worker makes 165 shillings ($23.10) a week. The average metal worker gets about 179 shillings ($24.76) and the building trades worker 161 shillings ($22.54).
He also gets four ounces—three or four slices—of bacon a week. Bacon is from 37 cents to 44 cents a pound.
He gets three ounces of butter. Butter is 31 cents a pound.
He gets four ounces of margarine at 15 cents a pound: one and a half ounces of cheese at around 28 cents a pound; and two or three ounces of tea at around 56 cents a pound.
An article by Ray Moffatt, engineering senior, entitled "Radio Relay Spans the Nation," gives the reason for employing micro-waves in television circuits and the methods of its use.
A head of lettuce costs 14 cents.
The same type of micro-wave transmission to be used in televising Friday night's KU-Kansas State basketball game is explained in the Kansas Engineer, student engineering quarterly, published Thursday.
A head of lecture costs 14 cents.
Austerity doesn't much affect the night life, sports attendance and movies. Since food is subsidized and cheap, the British family has money left for some entertainment.

Journalists May Join University Women
An editorial and a preview of the 33rd annual Engineering exposition, were written by Bob Kipp, engineering senior and retiring editor.
Word that the AAUW board of directors has voted to admit recipients of the bachelor of science in journalism degree to full membership, was received today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Full membership privileges are given only for degrees that represent broad, general education without excessive professional specialization.
A picture of a 230 ton hydraulic generator rotor recently installed in Finland is the frontpiece.
Regular features of the magazine include "Slide Rule Slips" and "Progress in Science," written by Gene Rogers, engineering sophomore. The latter outlines some of the latest problems and techniques in the field of engineering.
Engineering students may pick up their copies in the lobby of Marvin hall.
Two hundred and ninety-four journalism, education, college, and fine arts students have registered to take the spring semester proficiency examination in English composition to be given at 2 p.m. Saturday.
