Military Water Routine Quack Club Ballet
Members of Quack club, women's honorary swimming organization, presented a water ballet this afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. The ballet followed the regular meeting of the club at 4:30 p.m.
The first number was a military routine in the water with an accompaniment of martial music. Participating were Marjorie Rader, Betty Burton, Evelyn Herriman, Marty Shartel, Lura Smith, Shirley Davis, Nada Clifton, Gladys Bitter, Miriam Bartlett, Betty Gsell, and Cynthia $ ^{*} $ Gilmer.
Betty Allen and Lura Smith presented a duet number, and a group of eight swam in formation to a waltz number. The music was headed by Margaret Whitehead, president of the club. Others in the waltz were Jean Ott, Gladys Hawkins, Lucille Gillie, Lucille Comley, Peggy Benson, Peggy Ballard, and Betty Allen. A solo by Lura Smith was the closing number of the program.
The club plans to present a much larger water ballet in March, which will include all 30 members of the club. This program will be repeated in April for the Kansas high school play day.
How the Mind
H.M. Yankham Gambles Falls Into Error
H. M. Yankham was, above all things, a staunch patriot. He was also a firm believer in tradition and custom—wouldn't think of smoking anything but Luckies, refused to let any force of man or nature prevent him from playing 18 holes of golf every Saturday afternoon, and was firmly entrenched in the belief that coffee tasted like so much bilge water unless sweetened with two spoonsful of sugar, no more, no less.
So, as you might guess, the sugar rationing business was somewhat of a blow to H. M. Yankham. All the boys of the Club voluntarily decided to use a maximum of one teaspoonful of sugar in their coffee, as their part in the defense program. This was the kind of Club that didn't tolerate radicals or exhibitionists, and only the best people in town were included in membership, so Yankham tried to choose the lesser of two evils, and eliminate the second spoonful of sugar. But it just didn't work out. The man was in agony every meal.
Crucial Moment
Finally, in desperation, Yankham decided on a bold move. Those fellows could go to hell, he was going to take a second spoonful. But at the last moment, his courage almost failed. Two elderly ladies were watching from the table across the aisle. Should he sneak the sugar into his cup while they weren't
watching, or do it quite openly? He glanced at them again. Still staring at him, were they? With a cold, determined expression on his face, Yankham reached for the sugar bowl, and—
Next morning, he was rather surprised at the coolness with which the men at the office treated him. Most peculiar. Couldn't be that sugar business. Only people that saw him were the two elderly ladies. Then he heard the two fellows in the Accounts Receivable A to C Department talking: "Old Yankham a Nazi agent. My God, who'd ever think so. A boy with his standing selling out to a dirty bunch like that." Nazi, hell. Didn't he buy a defense bond every week? Wasn't he air raid warden of Maple Street?
Then the evening paper came out with a banner headline:
H. M. YANKHAM EXPOSED AS JAPANESE SPY Usually reliable authorities state that

- THAT LOVABLE... LAUGHABLE'LADY EVE' COUPLE...IN A MERRY MARITAL MARATHON!
prominent business man is actually Hideki Yakamoto a Jap agent.
What next? This afternoon he was a Nazi agent, now he became a Jap spy with an unpronouncable name. Those little old ladies must have done a Paul Revere act all over town, spreading the good word. Yankham Checks Out
Well, might as well wait for the thing to blow over. Gossip always burns out. Tonight he could listen to the symphony orchestra and relax. Yankham was just getting into his overcoat when he heard a crowd gathering outside the house. He could hear them chanting "Lynch him, get the ...!" Then the door was smashed into splinteres as the mob surged into the living room. In the distance, Yankham could hear the police siren, but he knew they would never arrive in time—

Smith Publishes Article in Latest Law Review'

PEGGY MORAN
Appearing in the latest issue of the "Virginia Law Review" is an article by James B. Smith, professor of law, on the relationship of government to society. The discussion is 80 pages long and is entitled "Jurisprudence and Constitutional Canon-Re to the States and to Congress."
In the opening sentence, Professor Smith gives the main purpose of the article. He states that "history records an instinctive natural desire in man for the expression of an inherent nobility, for decency in the intimacy of his family, and the opportunity for intellectual growth and wholesome expression." He maintains that all efforts of self-governing people along political lines are displays of such "instinctive natural desires."

RARE BIRD---find of Mr. Rinker made number five.
The saw-whet owl is a peculiar looking bird. It is about eight inches long, about as round as the average man's fist, has no ear tufts, is a light brown color streaked with white, and has the pointed and hooked beak characteristics of the owl.
FORUM WEIGHS--give peace terms for return to the status quo.
"Masked Rider"
"A saw-whet owl might sit in your back yard all his life, while you never knew a thing about it," Rinker said. "The rarity of the bird doesn't exactly exist in the fact that only a few of them inhabit the country, but it is because of the lifelessness of the bird that they are rarely seen."

The test of A. and M.'s defense will come in their ability to hold forwards Ralph Miller and Charlie Black in check. If the Oklahoma team can not do this, its chances of victory will be negligible.
For the last three games, Miller and Black can show a combined average of 34 points a game. With the scoring help that they get from the rest of the team, this makes for quite an impressive total.
The Aggie's forwards, Eggleston and Newman, both stand six feet one inch tall. Millikan and Taylor, the starting guards, also are twins for heights, measuring five feet ten inches.
