Hill's Males To Choose Valentine Queen
Choosing beauty queens is Hillville's most popular indoor sport but in all the myriad queens chosen here, no Kansas co-ed has even been named valentine Queen and had her picture in Life magazine.
That's what will happen to some campus beauty,however, if she can fulfill three requirements:
1. Submit your most flattering picture to the K.U. news bureau (Journalism building) before noon Saturday.
2. Along with your picture hand the gentleman in the News Bureau $1.50. Forthwith he will get an engraving of your picture. It will appear in the Daily Kansan. 3. Be chosen tops in a general campus election by Hill men on Jan. 16.
To the gal whose picture-balloots number greatest goes the title, Valentine Queen, and her picture will be printed in the Feb. 14 edition of Life.
The contest is being sponsored here by Life magazine, the Men's Student Council, and the Daily Kansan.
To Print Entries' Pictures
Pictures of all the local entries will be printed in the Kansan along with ballots. While women cannot actually vote in the election, there is nothing in the rules to prevent feminine coercion of the franchised sex.
The gal selected as second by Kansas men will receive $5 worth of tickets to the Lawrence theaters. Stan Schwann, general manager of the theaters, said today.
But being chosen as the University Valentine Queen isn't all: when your picture gets to Life's editors, they will put it with the queens chosen from other campuses and out of the whole pile of pulchritude will come the campus Valentine Queen of the Nation.
Election On Jan. 16
Polls for the election will be open from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. Jan. 16. Polls will be manned by workers from the Kansan staff and from the Men's Student Council.

332 Students Inoculated At Hospital By Noon
Influenza inoculations are underway at Watkins Memorial hospital, with 332 vaccines given up to noon today. The influenza vaccine was recently developed by the Rockefeller institute.
Physicians hope to complete the inoculation of approximately 1,200 students and officials of the University within the next few days to determine the effectiveness of the vaccine.
. Numbers already innoculated are: Corbin hall, 43; employees, 35; faculty members, 33; Gamma Phi Beta, 6; Nu Sigma Nu, 10; Pi Beta Phi, 15; Phi Beta Pi, 14; Phi Chi, 14; hospital staff, 19; miscellaneous, 19; Watkins hall, 15; Alpha Omicron Pi, 4; Alpha Delta Pi, 1; Beta Theta Pi, 6; Battenfeld hall, 23; Chi Omega, 8; Delta Upsilon, 7; Miller hall, 10; Sigma Kappa, 4; Kappa Alpha Theta, 6; Alpha Chi Omega, 5; Templin hall, 4; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 1; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 6; Phi Kappa Psi, 8; Phi Delta Theta, 3; Kappa Sigma, 1; Kappa Kappa Gamma, 2; Carruth hall, 5; and Delta Tau Delta, 1.
The vaccine, which produces no reaction, is administered in a single dose and is expected to immunize for five or six months. It is not given to students who have just recovered from influenza or who have colds.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service said today, "If students are going to take the vaccine, they should do it immediately. Influenza cases are gradually, but steadily increasing on the campus and everywhere."
Volunteers are members of sororities, fraternities, and other organizations. Physicians believe that by inoculating half the members of each organization and leaving the other half untreated, they could establish the vaccine's value.
More Than 1,200 To Attend Clinic
An expected 200 to 300 music high school supervisors from over the state began registering for the annual music clinic at 2:30 this afternoon, and, along with more than 1,000 high school musicians, will begin the two and one-half day run of the clinic tonight.
The University band and orchestra will boost the meet into its first action tonight with a reading demonstration in Hoch auditorium. Russell L. Wiley, clinic chairman, explained that the numbers on the program tonight are only partially prepared, and the organizations will have to struggle through by reading the music as they go along.
Mr. Wiley said that all through the clinic, the University organizations will correct and smooth out their numbers in the demonstrations for supervisors, and that the band will, after finishing a number, ask a visiting supervisor who has worked on the number to take the group through its paces.
Because of the fact that several demonstrations will be going on at the same time, supervisors may miss some things they want to hear, but Wiley explained that time did not permit any other procedure.
Two Kansas City music firms are exhibiting band instruments, both old and new, for the benefit of the high school musicians.
