LINDLEY LECTURESHIP---
ation, said today.
For 20 years Lindley, as Chancellor, gave his best to building the University and state. He had planned to spend his last years lecturing on his philosophy of life, and to help in establishing a worthwhile set of values for students.
It is believed that the lectures will be of interest to many Kansans owing to the fact that Lindley signed more than 50 per cent of the diplomas which have been issued from the University.

The committee in charge of the lectures was appointed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott and consists largely of University graduates.
Members of the commission

Then the orchestra was in hot water, musically speaking. Its members couldn't play while the vocalists were switching from one key to another. Finally Fuller volunteered to sing the whole work in the original key, high notes included. To the surprise of all concerned, it sounded better than it did in the lower key. That is the way it will be heard Thursday evening, providing a cold doesn't shift Fuller's voice back into bass.
"Ballad for Americans," first made famous by Paul Robeson, is heavy work for chorus, orchestra, and soloist. It depicts three great periods in the history of America—the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Machine Age. Powell to Robeson
Fuller, whose career is parallel to that of the famous Negro singer and actor, Paul Robeson in many respects, is known on the campus for his role in "Emperor Jones," his appearance with the K.U. Band in "Ol' Man River," his radio work, as well as for his work with the K.U. Serenaders, who also will be heard on tomorrow's program in the spiritual, "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho."

Announce Queen at Dance
Results of the contest will not be announced until the dance for two reasons.
Number one: It used to be a playful habit of the law students, traditional enemies of the engineers, to kidnap the woman chosen queen, so that she could not appear at the dance. Consequently the engineers decided to keep the winner's name a secret until the night of the dance.
The lawyers abandoned their whimsical custom several years ago, but, and here comes reason number two, a little mystery about the outcome of the contests helps to sell more tickets.
Speaking of tickets, they can be purchased by 75 cents in the lobby of Marvin hall. or from any member of the Engineering council.
The Hop will be semi-formal and will last from 9 to 12 o'clock. Red Blackburn's orchestra will provide the dance music. For the first time in its history the dance will be limited to engineering students.

JULIEN BRYAN---events, faculty, and townspeople tonight is shown by the following paragraph from the magazine "Program" for February, 1941:
"Julien Bryan, in his new lecture on South America has risen to heights never before attained in illustrated lectures. He has blended a verbal report of a situation that is almost an inferno with a pictorial report that supplements but never interferes with the spoken word."
Students will be admitted on activity tickets."
Bryan, who arrived in Lawrence from New York this morning was a noon guest at a luncheon given by Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, in the Old English room of the Union building.

buckle labeled as distinct scoring threats. Steve Meade and Dick Nolan make the Psi starters with Mike Sheridan as first relief man. Sealey and Arbuckle are fine long shots.
Gam Record Impressive
Champions of a tough division, the Phi Gams have a total-point record as impressive as that of Newman I. The Fijians have piled up 426 against their opponents 196. The Phi Gam's best game of the season was their 54 to 26 slaughter of the Beta's. Three of the first five scorers in Division II are Phi Gams Chain Healy, Larry McSpadden and Roscoe Hamric. Scoring averages are as follows:McSpadden—12.9, Healy—11.9, and Hambric—8.7. Harold Long, an ace ball handler, and either Wally Hinshaw or "Swede" Olson complete the starting lineup.

Jack Engle forming the hub of a stout defense and methodical offense, must rule a slight favorite over the Beta's. The latter's Bill Geiger and Fred Littooy, however, may furnish enough scoring power to shoot the Dragons into the semi-final round.
Newman II Favored
By virtue of it's 44-24 trouncing of Delta Chi last night, the tail Newman II's are given the edge over a hustling Hellhound crew. In Gene Sanneman and Elmo Maiden the Newman's have a pair of fast stepping forwards that should supply the margin of victory.
Sigma Chi "B" and Beta "B" are installed as favorites over Phi Delt "B" and Phi Psi "B" respectively, due to early season wins. The Sigma Chis nosed out the Phi Delts 21 to 20 while the Betas defeated the Phi Psi's 29 to 20. Coach Bob Woodward wishes to have his Beta outfit installed as title favorites instead of the Sigma Chi team.
Dr. J. Allen Reese, dean of the University School of Pharmacy, spoke to the pharmacy colloquy class yesterday concerning the trip which the University pharmacy students and faculty members took to the Lilly Drug company in Indianapolis.
