Co-ops, Building Trade Are Studied
Studies of the Kansas co-operative movement and the retail building materials industry of Kansas and Missouri are being made by the University Bureau of Business Research. The reports will be published sometime this year, Leslie L. Waters, chairman of the bureau said.
The report on the Kansas co-operative movement will be compiled by Vernon Ferguson, instructor of business commerce. It will be a survey of the movement from the early Granger organization of the 19th century to the modern co-operative groups. The Kansas Co-operative council is financing the project.
Paul Briley, graduate student, is preparing the study of 1300 retail building material dealers on a grant from the Southwestern Lumberman's association. The survey is designed to aid retailers in curbing or expanding business expenditures.
Babe Ruth To Hospital
New York, Jan. 12-(UP)-The doctor with professional firmness said it was a "routine checkup" but the fanns were wondering and worrying again today about Babe Ruth being back in the hospital.
You, Too, Can Be 'Ageless,' Says This Psychologist
Cleveland—(UP)—Trouble with this country, according to the only psychologist in the world who specializes in old age, is that "too many persons die at 40 and are not buried until they are 70."
But don't worry about it, says Dr. George Lawton. The next time the little woman plucks a gray hair from your head don't rush to buy a rocking chair. Instead, learn to be "ageless."
But don't worry about it, says Dr. little women plucks a gray hair from y chair. Instead, learn to be "ageless." Dr. Lawton is a New York psychologist who is author of the book 'Aging Successfully.'
Being ageless is easy, he said. The most important thing is to be mentally flexible. According to Dr. Lawton, that means to adopt new ideas, new interests and new friends.
Keep Your Wrinkles
"Keep your wrinkles," he advises "Don't cover them up. It took you at least 40 years to get them.
"But be willing to take a chance, Live in the future and the present, never in the past," he said.
According to Dr. Lawton, that doesn't mean trying to be a "middle-aged pixie or a refugee from maturity" by wearing bobby-sox and spouting the incoherent language common to teen-agers these days.
"Youth is wasted on young people because they aren't mature enough
Large Crowd Hears Snyder
A capacity audience applauded the excellent technique and sensitive interpretation of Paul Snyder, in his faculty piano recital Sunday. Mr. Snyder's interpretation of the melodic Mozart Sonata in F Major, K 332, was outstanding.
Mr. Sruder began with the intricate Sonata in G Minor, Op 22 by Schumann, and councled with four Ballads (Chopin) where he again displayed his exceptional techniques to the receptive audience.
An exhibition entitled "A Century of Photography" is being shown at the Sooner-Thayer museum until Jan. 26. This exhibition was sent by the Museum of Modern Art of New York.
to enjoy it," he said. Lawyers Wrong Leaders
The 12 panels describe the development of photography and illustrate it with some of the first daguerreotypes and calotypes. It traces by illustration the development of the photograph as a record-in-Civil War scenes, travel pictures of the 1850's and 70's. Atget's views of a Paris that no longer exists, and the social documents and news photographs of the present.
Photography's important role as a tool of science is shown from Muybridge's early experiments in arresting action and Edgerton's millionth of a second exposure which can even stop the flight of a bullet. Micro-photography, telephotography, and serial photography are all illustrated.
Spooner Features Photography Art
The last two panels show pictures by such outstanding American and European photographers as Adams, Lynes, Evans, Sheeler, and Cartier-Bresson.
Student Committee Conducts Meeting
The Student Memorial committee met Saturday and discussed methods of presenting the World War II memorial campaign to new students.
Convocations, coffees, and forums were among the plans discussed. Committee members are:
Like almost everybody else in the country. Dr Lawton has some beefs about the way the nation is being run. He says the country's leaders are not growing old in the right way. And he particularly doesn't think a country should be run by lawyers. Business men would make better leaders than the barristers because they must always look to the future to stay on top, he said.
Robert Malott, Roy Shofu, Milo Williams, A. L. Chase, James Sanders, Robert Drewelow, William Howard, Ruth Brown, Robert Brock, Clis Hill, and Bruce Eaustur.
"Lawyers have the worst kind of mind for the job," he maintained. "Law is based on precedent while business must always cope with unfamiliar problems immediately."
The doctor—he's a Ph. D; from Columbia—is 47 himself. But it doesn't worry him, he said. He's "ageless."
Crew Abandons Burning Ship
New York-(UP)-Fire in the engineroom forced 46 men aboard the army war dead transport Joseph V. Cennolly to abandon ship today, 900 miles east of New York, the port of embarkation reported.
The men—45 crewmen and one army man in charge of bringing war dead back from Europe—took to open lifeboats to await five ships rushing to their rescue.
The coast guard said today the S. S. Merrison R. Walte had reached the position given by the crew of the burning Liberty ship before they abandoned ship today, but had not spotted any lifebeats. It continued to circle the area.
Three coast guard spotter planes sped to the position reported in the Connolly's S.O.S. to search the men, adrift in the open sea since 4:51 a.m. EST.
Some Directories Left At Bookstore
There is still time for you to get your copy of the student directory. The student book store has approximately 125 copies remaining to be distributed to students. A large number of faculty directories are yet to be picked up from the registrar's office.
Several copies will be kept to replace worn or lost copies in University offices, Har'el Lill, directory editor, said today.
Eight thousand copies were printed, and 6,000 were distributed to students.
Aggie Head Lauds Kansas
Kansas will become one of the best financially balanced states in the union, Dr. Henry G. Bennett, Oklahoma A. and M. president said at a meeting of the Kansas Press association in Topeka Friday.
Bennett declared that Kansas is already one of the leaders in agriculture which he described as the world's most important business. He predicted further increases for the state in agricultural production through research, care, and the elimination of waste.
Kansas has the three necessities for big industry—fuel in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas; labor, and capital, Bennett said.
It Ain't What A Guy's Ancestors Did-bird he created had spindley legs, a large bill, and large eyes.
He paid tribute to Kansas athletic teams and praised Dr. Forrest C (Phog) Allen who he said was "responsible for the best basketball in the country being played in this area."
Hospital Has 4,621 December Calls
Watkins hospital was busy as usual during the month of December. Even with the 20-day Christmas vacation the hospital had 4,691 clinic calls. Of this number 912 were for influenza vaccine. One-hundred forty-seven students were admitted to the hospital.
Henry Maloy, a student at the University in 1910 was the most important figure in the process of giving the Jayhawk a physical being. Up until that time, the Jayhawk had no particular form or personality. Maloy drew the first Jayhawk. The
During October there were 4,110 clinic calls and 155 for flu vaccine. There were 153 students admitted to the hospital for treatment, with six vacation days during the month.
Jayhawk Is A Self-Made Man
What is a Jayhawk?
The earliest use of either word seems to have been in 1841 when a party of adventurers from Illinois, who called themselves Jayhawkers, made the nickname famous in Death Valley. There are references to Jayhawkers in Texas history. The name became common during the territorial troubles and was at first applied to both sides, but finally stuck to the anti-slavy side and eventually to all the people of Kansas.
When the Kansas football team met Georgia Tech in the Orange bowl the Jayhawk became nationally known. Many persons, including Guy Butler, sports editor for the Miami Daily News, were confused as to the history and origin of the bird.
The Jayhawk is really a myth, being neither beast, fish, nor fowl. It received its name from two birds that frequent the Missouri valley—the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome bird, and the sparrow hawk, a genteel killer who is a courageous and cautious fighter.
The old hesperornis, a prehistoric swimming bird, resembled the Jay-hawk in appearance. The skeleton of this bird attained a length of six feet from tip of beak to the end of was four' and a half feet. He had not only the big strong beak like that of the modern Jayhawk, but his outstretched toes, and his height upper and lower jaws were armed with a row of very sharp-pointed teeth.
Perhaps the Jayhawk does have a modern cousin in the form of the toucan, a large billed brilliant bundle of feathers. In 1928 a toucan which was owned by the Pi Upiens fraternity is supposed to have died suddenly after a smashing football defeat at the hands of Missouri. The humiliation evidently was too much for the bird's pride.
Nevertheless, the fact does remain that the feats, traits, and virtues ascribed to the Jayhawk are purely traditional instead of factual.
Bitter Bird Needs Humor Writers
The Bitter Bird publication staff will meet at 4 p. m., Wednesday, in 203 Frank Strong hall. Byron Shutz editor, said today. All staff members and anyone interested in writing for the magazine are urged to come to this meeting.
"We are anxious to get people on the staff who can write humorous stories as the February issue will attempt to contain more humor," Shutz said.
Shutz said that the position of circulaton manager is now open and applications are being taking for the job.
The Bitter Bird advisory committee will be present at the meeting to help plan the forthcoming issue. This committee acts purely in an advisory capacity and it is their duty to advise the staff its business operations on the quality of copy submitted and its asset to the magazine and the University, and to lend their publishing experience to the staff in matters of make-up and general content.
Anyone who has a Bitter Bird subscription can get the last issue at the business office, Shutz added.
Dyche To Get Indian Relics
The display will be combined with the present display of fire arms which will be relabeled and regrouped in their original where collected by Mr. Shultz in Clay county, where he has been working on it most of his life.
A collection of Indian reliess donated by Floyd Shultz, Clay Center, will soon be placed in Dyche museum, Carlyle S. Smith, assistant curator of anthropology, said today.
The guns which are on display now range from flint-lock muzzle-loaders to weapons from World War One.
Professor Smith said that there are too many duplications in the present collection and some of the specimens are not truly typical examples of their class.
"The inferior ones will be stored to make room for this Indian display which is a very important addition to our collection," Professor Smith said.
Pick Numbers For Concern Persons attending the Duke Ellington concert will have a chance to select part of the program.
