Kansan High In National News Contest
Des Moines, Nov. 16—(UP) The University Daily Kansan, student newspaper of the University of Kansas, today won second place in the editorial division of the student newspaper contest.
The contest is sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, which concluded its twenty-fifth annual convention here tonight.
Two Kansas delegates who attended the Sigma Delta Chi convention, Prof. Siegfried Mickelson, chapter adviser, and Larry Winn, chapter president, are expected to return today.
The K.U. chapter entered the chapter efficiency and professional achievement contest, but no results were received on this late last night.
The University of Michigan publication received first honors, and the Daily Orange of Syracuse University third place, according to W. W. Waymack of the Des Moines Register and Tribune who judged the contest.
Gory Antics Lend Punch To Shindig
They carried 'em in instead of out at the Phi Chi's traditional bloody ball last night.
The brothers in the medical bone took a busman's holiday what with jittering in dissection garments in a Kansas room decorated in an M.D. motif, and drinking punch from a skull.
And they used an ambulance to pick up the dollies; even carried them into the Memorial Union building via stretcher.
Girls had an inking of the probable character of the party when invitations in the form of prescriptions were issued; but few were prepared for the gory details.
Take the matter of the punch for instance. Not content with drinking the stuff in chemical beakers, filled from the skull, the cadaver kids must come up with yet another way to make the intermission juice more palatable.
Hence a lancet, shoved into the body of a brother, brought forth aauseating red stream of punch from what proved to be a concealed hot water bottle. All this to the accompaniment of a few screams and a lone crack of "Shoot the blood to me bud."

A piercing scream.
A trip to the hospital.
Two bones fractured in the little finger.
One bone fractured in the index finger.
An enforced vacation from a N. Y.A. job in the Graduate School office where her work consisted of writing.

Kansans Near Goal Twice In First Period
Washington, D.C., Nov. 16— (Special to the Kansan)—Walt Fedora, George Washington fullback, roared around right end on a 19 yard touchdown jaunt early in the fourth quarter here today to give the blue-clad Colonials a 6 to 0 triumph over the University of Kansas in a hard-fought intersectional game.
A crowd of more than 5,000 fans which included Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott, watched the contest in Griffith stadium. Display Stalwart Defense
The Jayhawks, still on the rebound from early season failures, displayed the same stalwart defense which last week held Oklahoma's

powerful Sooners scoreless for three quarters. But today the Colonials kept pounding away at the Kansas forward wall and on the fourth play of the final period their persistence paid dividends as Fedora sprinted 19 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
Inability to gain consistently within the George Washington 20- yard line proved costly to the Jayhawks, for several times Gwinn Henry's athletes drove deep into Colonial territory only to lose the ball on downs or because of fumbles.

Jail Fails To Change Dewey's Mind
By DON WELTY
Topeka, Nov. 16—(Special) Not changed in the least by his new surroundings, Alexander Harlow Dewey found himself in the toils of the law here Friday evening after draft officers and the Federal government decided to do something about his refusal to register for the draft.
Quite a different scene from his Tennessee street Lawrence room where he awaited arrest for a month, Dewey was facing actual charges of draft dodging after his arraignment before commissioner John Williams in court here. Dewey's bond was set at the arraignment at $500, and the former student settled down for a long stay in his new home in the jail cell as prospects seemed vague of any action being taken before Dec. 2.
Still A Philosopher
Dewey still expounded philosophy at every opportunity as he had while still in Lawrence awaiting arrest. His spirits were still high, as though his philosophy included something additional in the nature of "stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." He still plans to return to the University of Kansas "when and if I ever get out of jail."
Dewey has now only to wait conviction, as he had previously gone to the Douglas county draft board and admitted not registering on the designated day, Oct. 16, and the arrest Friday night made the government position plain.
Dewey had enrolled in the College as a freshman, but he dropped out on the last day for withdrawal. His home is in Faithfield, Conn., and he is 22 years old.
Best Speaker Will Get Cup
A silver loving cup will be presented to the winner of the Campus Problems speaking contest finals, to be held at 7:30 Tuesday night in Fraser theater.
The eight finalists, who were chosen from 17 entrants in the preliminary contest Nov. 12, are Jim Gillie, Dwayne Oglesby, Ed Price, Hal Ruppenthal, Karl Ruppenthal, John Scurlock, Joyce Standiferd, and Maxine Walker.
The judges in the final contest will be W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, A. W. Davidson, professor of chemistry, and R. A. Heady, instructor in the department of journalism. Robert Sullivan, sophomore law, will be chairman of the contest.
