Huxman to Speak Tomorrow Night Lawyers Will Honor Burdick
BY JOHN HARVEY
Dr. William L. Burdick, professor of law, will be the guest of honor at the Burdick Day banquet to be held at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night on his eighty-first birthday in the Kansas Room of the Memorial Union building by alumni and students of the University School of Law.
One of Dr. Burdick's former students, Walter A. Huxman, ex-governor of Kansas and now judge on the United States circuit court of appeals, will speak on changes in the practice of law before the court as seen by a judge on the court. Justice William A. Smith of the Kansas Supreme Court will also speak.
Burdick as the guest of honor, will speak to the students and alumni. F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, will introduce the guests. Ernest Deines, third year law, will be the toastmaster.
"Hah! Of course you don't know.
You're not supposed to know. We
DR. W.L. BURDICEL
don't even care what the law in South 'Caroliner' is. The Kansas Statute is controlling."
Again this year, students in the School of Law hear Dr. William L. Burdick growl approval when "I don't know" proves to be the correct answer.
That same gruff expression of satisfaction has stamped points of law inelibly on the minds of students of the School of Law for two generations.
Not Last Class
Each year seniors in the law school who take Roman Law or Criminal Procedure believe themselves to be members of the last classes to be taught by the former dean. Each year it is believed that Burdick will grow tired of meeting classes each morning and will retire at the end of the year.
But each fall he returns with renewed vigor to meet his classes for another year.

K.U. Band To Swing Out Monday
The University Band will blare, swing, and trill through its thirty-fourth annual Spring Concert in Hoch uaditorium Monday evening. The program, composed of 14 numbers by both old and new masters, begins at 8 o'clock and will last approximately two hours.
Students are awaiting the concert with a great deal of anxiety, espec-
ally since Wally Kunkel, college sophomore, figured that Bob Jenkins, fine arts sophomore, will bounce his drumsticks through four miles of space while beating the kettle drums-for the evening's performance.
Included in the program will be "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" (Alford) and the Strauss Valse
"Stories of the Vienna Forest," as well as many other popular numbers. Solo appearances will be made by cornetist Horacek, fine arts senior, and trombonist Leslie Sperling, fine arts senior. Student directors who will have an opportunity to prove their ability are Richard Tippin, fine arts senior, and Arthur Harris, graduate student.
Movies Watch Dandelion Plan
Wanna be a movie actor?
You do? You really can be one—easily. All you have to do is join a dandelion-pulling team, come to the campus on Dandelion Day, and pull dandelions.
Several major film companies are negotiating with Charles Wright, Dandelion Day commander, for movie rights on the day.
You can be an actor. Of course your contract might be a 10-year job, but you should be able to flash your smiling face before the film-
The first dandelion digging captain to name the members of his team, Richard Westfall, education senior, today announced the following as competent grubbers: Bill Langworthy, Bob Barnard, Byron Schroeder, Fred Coulson, Pat Niemson, Julien LePage, Don Thompson, Jean LePage, George Latham, Dalton Holland, George Westfall, Don Ettinger, Jack Weaver, Bill Weaver, and Lee Thorn.
Wright has also contacted "Life" and "Time" magazines. They have shown a marked interest in the day, and it is probable that they will have reporters and photographers on Mt. Oread to cover the event.
grinders at least once during the day.
More good news—the dandelions are coming thick and fast, and are growing like regular like weeds. If they continue the killing pace, Dandelion Day can be held April 2, the date for which it is tentatively scheduled.
Littooy Cancels March 28 Prom; Sets April Date
All you guys and gals who rushed around getting dates to the Junior Prom are granted full privilege to curse under your breath—that man has done it again.
Early this afternoon Fred Littouy, varsity dance manager, threw a monkey wrench into next week's weekend with his announcement that the Junior Prom had been postponed and the
Schedule Only Skilton's Works For Tribute
Friends of the late Charles Sanford Skilton will pay tribute to his memory at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium when a program will be given consisting entirely of his compositions.
In charge of all arrangements is the Lawrence Music club of which Mrs. Clifton C. Calvin is president and Mrs. Maurice W. Clarkson is program committee chairman.
Both Mrs. Calvin and Mrs. Clarkson are former students of Professor Skilton and last fall conferred frequently with him as to the character of the program and as to those who might take part.
It was Skilton's desire that the "American Indian Fantasie," one of his most successful compositions be played by Powell Weaver, Kansas City composer and organist. Weaver will close the program with this number.
The University symphony orchestra will open the program with the Frelude to "Electra" and the two Indian dances, "Deer Dance" and "War Dance," two compositions (continued to page eight)
Coughs Increase Watch lt!
Have that cough treated, students If the number of coughs at the Leland Stowe lecture Wednesday night is indicative of the number of colds on the campus, more students should be treated at Watkins Memorial hospital.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, today urged all students with colds to report at the hospital.
*March 28 dance date cancelled.
The dance has been postponed until the middle of April because the name hand which Littooy had been trying to sign up for the March 28 date found bookings elsewhere.
The current situation is reminiscent of the Sophomore Hop. Larry Clinton was booked for the dance at one time, cancelled; then the dance was postponed again before Jan Savitt finally put in appearance.
No provision has been made by Littooy for the Senior Cakewalk, scheduled in the K-book for May 10.
Plan Interviews For Marine Corps
Men students who receive their degrees this year will have an opportunity to gain appointments to the candidates' class of the Marine Corps reserve when Lieutenant Robert D. Tapplett, U. S. Marine Corps, and a medical examiner visit the University Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Interviews and preliminary physical examinations will be given to interested students between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the office of the University military department.
Applicants who are accepted will be enrolled in the candidates' class which begins about July 1, 1941.
If the applicant is commissioned a second lieutenant at the end of the three month training period, he will then be given a three month officers' training course. After graduation from the officers' school the applicant will be assigned to troops for the duration of the emergency.
Pharmacy Class Returns
Members of the senior pharmacy class, Dean J. Allen Reese, and Dr. L. L. Boughton, assistant professor of pharmacy, returned to the campus yesterday from Wichita, where they attended the meeting of the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association.
