Harbur To Play For Midweekers
Something new and different tonight. A midweek in Union ballroom from 7 to 8.
Girls with freshly powdered noses will whirl their skirts hoping they are bright enough to catch the eyes of cagey males, who will (for a change) cluster around the pillars and line up in front of the bandstand. ___
Clayton Harbur will take his turn at the baton.
It will be another one of those things—but fun.

MaleModes By Phil McCarthy
PART I — PUFF PANT PROM For once, the girls are going to make this column. Yep, our quick glimpse of what girls think we look like revealed all sorts of things. For instance, Annabel Fisher was very correctly attired in Jim Waugh's tux. The only thing you could raise an eyebrow about was the fact that she had the coat buttoned from right to left . . . which only goes to show that habit is habit.
Another thing . . . Marjorie Owen's costume included an empty rum bottle. All we want to know is where she got the idea.
PART II — FELLA'S SOX
To dispense with this item of apparel, we shall approach it from the inevitable (we still hope) angle of spring. It seems that solid colors are still to be in high favor, especially with the soft woolens for campus wear. A popular deviation is the Argyle plaid pattern which seems to hold its own during any season.
PART III - GIFT IDEA
The safest thing in the way of apparel to give some boy might be the new leather cuff-link set. The little brown gadgets come in a leather drawstring bag and would be appreciated both for utility and novelty. Give him a set and if he doesn't like them, take them away from him . . . because he doesn't know the score!
PART IV — SUIT OF THE WEEK
... is that new one of Dwight Horner's. It's a solid light green covert in a three-button single-breasted model! Seems to fit right in with the currently rising popularity of solid colors for spring suitings.
CORBIN HALL . . .
... will hold an hour dance from 7 to 8 tomorrow night which will feature Marjorie Henry's 14-piece all-girl band making its first public appearance.
A.A.U.W. . . .
... will hold its second meeting at 7:30 tomorrow night in Frank Strong auditorium. The program number will be a film circulated by the Secret Service, showing how to detect counterfeit money. Following the film, a Secret Service agent will be on hand to answer questions.
BUSINESS SCHOOL . . .
BEAT OKLAHOMA !!
This meeting, sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, is open to all business students and to anyone else who is interested.
... executive board will meet at 7:30 tomorrow night in the Kansas room of the Union building.

Laffer's "Onward Kansas" Makes Bandmasters Hum
RUSSELL WILEY
"Onward Kansas," the Kansas march composed by Jack Laffer, will be published in the near future, Russell L. Wiley, director of the University band, announced today.
"The march will need re-editing
and simplification," said Wiley, "before it can be published. It is a difficult number, and it must be made practical for the prospective 25,000 high school buyers."
Wiley, who recently directed the University of Wisconsin band playing the march at the American Bandmasters' convention in Madison, said that he had definite publication offers three hours after the number was played.
One thing led to another, the Japanese sewed up Shanghai with barbed wire and machine guns. Europe went off like a barrel of firecrackers, and Miss Patrick found herself forwarding letters from France to China. All perfectly legal, of course.
"The piece went over big," Wiley said. "People even hummed it at the dinner table."
The French youngsters went back to France, but continued to write now and then. It seems the family gadded about considerably and after the brother and sister had been in France a while their mother went to Shanghai. The youth grew up and went into the army.
It all started five years ago. The French youngsters were visitors in Hollywood. They were brother and sister, the boy about 16, the girl 17. They wrote a letter to Miss Patrick and told her she was their favorite actress. They wanted a picture.
"For such sweet words," she said, "they could have had a dozen. They wanted to know if they could bring the pictures to me and have them autographed. I told them, certainly. They did and that's how we got acquainted."
Publisher contracting the piece is Gamble Hinged of Chicago. It will be published as soon as it is re-edited and satisfactory agreements can be made with Laffer, the composer, and Allen Crafton, professor of speech, who wrote the words.
Hollywood, Calif.—(UP)—Gail Patrick is playing postoffice but keep your seats, men it's not that kind of game.
Star Plays Postoffice For France-China Mail
This is serious. The tall, dark and gorgeous actress got into the postal business through a series of events which started with the writing of a fan letter by a couple of French youngsters and included wars on opposite sides of the world.
Then came the blitz, the world fell apart as far as they were concerned, and with delays in the mails, censorship, and frequent changes of address, they were unable to get in touch with their mother.
Here enters Miss Patrick again. "They found," she said, "that if they'd send the letters to me, and have me forward them, they would get through all right."
Miss Patrick is busy now with the shooting of "Love Crazy" at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer but finds time to keep up the France-Hollywood-Shanghai postal relay and occasionally toss in a letter of her own.
