On the Shin

To some of us doses, Spring can never be anything more than an excuse for being lazy. To others it's an excuse for being woo-zy. So for them as likes this sort of thing, we offer:
THE DEPARTMENT OF LOVE
Hand-in-handing it about the Campus are Pachacamaca's brain Seth Grey and Chi Omega's actress Jean Brown. . . While Pi Phi Boby Smythe's away, Sigma Chi Rex Darlern dates everyone in the Pi Phi house who doesn't wear two pins—and some who do. . . Bob Brockett is in a mood blue since Alpha Chi Fran Anderson left him sitting without a date to the Junior Prom—and probably because of a Kappa Sig name o' Bob Leidig. . . Pi Kap's Harry Caldwell and Bob Wilkins continue to fuss and feud over Theta Hollie Tanner, but betters now give the edge to Wilkins. . . Sigma Chi Dick Mize and Kappa Jean Egbert are about ready to steady—but there are those who say 'tis false.
That commotion you heard or saw in Watson library one recent day was probably caused by Sigma Nu pledge Barrett Van Dyke after a more experienced freshman administered the well-known "hot foot."
Bill Hyer, of Sigma Chi and Hyer Boots, joined the equitation class and urged his brothers to do likewise—the better to sell them boots. Hyer's only claim to fame is his ability to recite Kipling's "Boots" and work a commercial into it.
Initiated on a Saturday, Chi O freshman Anna Jane Hoffman received an orchid from Jack Parker he following Monday. Muttered Annie: "It was darling of him to send it, but what am I going to do with it?" Not that it makes any difference, but come to think of it, we never did find out what she did with it.

Quill Club to Meet Tonight
Quill Club will meet at 7:30 o'clock tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building for a program of original manuscripts. These will be read and discussed by the group.
Legerdemain With a Stick--- Coming Billiards Expert Makes Cue Ball Talk
Charles C. Peterson, the man who challenges anyone to "show me the trick shot I can't make at billiards," will give an exhibition of plain and fancy billiard shots in the recreation room of the Memorial Union building at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The exhibition is being sponsored by the Memorial Union activities committee.
Peterson is touring the country to popularize billiards in schools. He is employed by the Association of College Unions, which took over the idea after Peterson first popularized it with a tour of 1931 that included only six schools.
Peterson gained his fancy shot skill while touring from 1906 to 1923 with Willie Hoppe, former world champion and one of the sport's all-
time greats.
After an automobile accident took some of Peterson's perfect touch, he decided to concentrate upon trick shots in tours with Hoppe. He does the "West Point" shot, wherein the cue ball, after striking the first object ball, curves around a tube, caroms a cushion, backs into the tube, which does an about-face und-r the impetus and rolls the ball out against the other object ball.
He has been playing billiards for 45 years and is now the world's greatest trick-shot billiard artist. Since mid-October he has stopped at 60 colleges in his tour and he expects to make it 206 before June. He expects a total attendance of 150,000.
Student Opinions On Air Tonight
National problems is the subject for discussion in the fifth Student Opinion broadcast tonight at 8 o'clock over WREN. Five University students will discuss topics ranging from foreign affairs to the farm problem. Judges for tonight's contest are P. Caspar Harvey, professor of speech at William Jewel College, Liberty, Mo., and B. W. Maxwell, professor of political science, Washburn College, Topeka. The third judge has not yet been announced.
The speakers and their subjects are: Jean Crawford, "How Foreign Affairs Affect the United States;" Irving Kuraner, "National Politics"; Mac Wynne, "Farm Problem;" Ronald Milan, b'40, "Relations of Capital and Labor;" and Gerald Smith, ed.11, "Seeds of Crime."
Smith to Address Geologists

No University of Kansas oratori will enter the state peace oratorical contest to be held April 12 at McPherson college, unless some unexpected source of funds is found, Prof. E. C. Buehler said today.
Student orators of Kansas have for the past decade participated in the state peace oratorical contest in cooperation with a national system of contests. Two wealthy Quaker women in Pennsylvania have for many years sponsored the cause of peace through the contests. Nearly 40 states hold contests each year for cash prizes amounting to $120.
Martin Maloney, who graduated in 1937, won first place in the state and third prize nationally three years
ago; Paul Moritz was the K.U. representative a year ago.

Twelve colleges were in the state contest last year.
Ralph W. Wood was the first caretaker appointed by Crane after he purchased the island. Then Wood's brother Cameron took the job and brought his wife with him. Eaton succeeded the last fall.
