J.E. Walters To Give Job Tips Tonight
Job-hunting seniors will receive tips on "How to Find a Payroll and Get Your Name on It" from Dr. J. E. Walters, director of personnel at Purdue University, at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Fraser theater. Dr. Walters will discuss how to choose your prospective employer, how to contact companies and make applications, and how to interview a prospective employer.
This lecture is the first of three forums on employment sponsored by the Alumni Association and the class of 40. As director of personnel in the schools of engineering and science, and professor of personnel administration at Purdue University since 1926, he has counselled and placed thousands of Purdue graduates. He has been employed as personnel and management consultant for several industrial concerns. Since 1933 he has served as Secretary of the Indiana Personnel Association.
Author of several books, he discusses in his latest book, "Modern Management," the management and personnel methods of 233 companies investigated in 1933-34 during a leave of absence from Purdue. Using this background, Dr. Walters will speak both from the standpoint of placement officer of a large university and from his extensive contacts with business and employment opportunities as an employer.
Although his remarks will be designed particularly to give the grad-

Third Jayhawker Out Thursday
The latest issue of the Jayhawker will be ready for distribution Thursday. Richard MacCann, c'40, editor said today.
Harry Hill, c'41, in his article entitled "Wanted: an Assembly Line," deals with the University's problems. The satire written by Roderick Burton, c'40, about how people study, illustrated by caricatures and photographs, should bring back memories of the hectic final week. An editorial discusses the grading system.
The basketball situation is brought up to date, and there are two action pictures of the sport by Hale Branine, e'43. The activities going on in Dyche museum are described, and the School of Fine Arts is given pictorial recognition.
Besides the articles written along the central theme there are several other new features, MacCann said. One article reveals what professors do in their spare time—if any. Religion on the Hill receives attention in a feature article.
For the first time this year two-color art is being used within the magazine, MacCann said.
Stars Tomorrow
Miss Alma Louise Gray, dramatic student from Wichita University, who plays the feminine lead in "Her Master's Voice" to be presented tomorrow night in Fraser Theater. The Wichita Players bring a cast of seven in the popular modern comedy by Clare Kummer.
Record-- Mis-Parks 16 Times
What to do about a student driver who violates parking rules more than four times never occurred to Men's Student Councilmen but they had to face the problem last night.
The law assigns penalties for each of the first four offenses but when a student violated the law more than that the parking committee didn't know how to handle the case.
The student in question managed to mis-park his car 16 times and the parking committee appealed to the M.S.C. for penalty assignments for the last 12 offenses. Considering, the Council placed a maximum of $5 on each violation beyond the first four.
But the unkindest cut in the case of the habitual violator—the student didn't have a license to park his car on the Hill in the first place.
Stops Plans To Take M.U. Game to City
By Jay Simon, c'40 Kansan Sports Editor
Plans to take the Missouri-Kansas championship basketball game to Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Friday night fell through at noon today when Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that he did not want the game to be taken away from the campus.
Early this morning Dr. F. C. Allen issued a statement that he would be willing to give up any home floor advantage that his team would have and allow the game to be taken to the huge auditorium, if satisfactory arrangements could be made with all parties concerned.
The Kansas City Star was pushing the game and Dan Partner, of the paper's sports staff, had contacted Coach George Edwards of Missouri. Edwards was*
tickled to death with the idea of getting to play the game in Kansas City.
Mizzou Coach's O.K.
It had been planned to allow the Mens' Student Council and the Women's self - governing Association to vote on whether or not the game would be taken to the City. If their permission was given, all that would have been necessary was to get the conference's permission
DR.F.G.CALLEN, to play on the neutral court, and arrange transportation for the students holding season tickets.
Consensus concerning the ballet was that it was great entertainment; that the two-piano accompaniment was good though a bit on the sloppy side; that the ballerine were as pretty a crew of girls as one would be apt to find
Players Approve
Even the dancers looked surprised last night when a large audience in Hoch auditorium here gave the San Francisco ballet one of the warmest reception accorded any terpischorean group that ever showed in Lawrence. Seldom do Mount Oread audiences become so enthusiastic over any sort of an entertainment that they will demand three, four and five curtain calls as they did last night.
Doctor Allen hit upon the idea last night at Ames after the Jayhawkers defeated the Cyclones, 42 to 29 to make a "natural" of the Missouri game. He asked the players what they thought of the idea and they were unanimously in favor of the plan.
Even Dancers Liked It---- Enthusiastic Audience Sees San Francisco Ballet
Here is the statement that Doctor Allen gave out this morning:
this side of Hollywood; and that it wasn't the best ballet to appear on the stage of Hoch hayloft.

The first half of last night's program was devoted to "Coppelia" which is as standard to the eurythmic world as the rendition of "Nar(Continued on page five)

Over 600 Sign Petition Asking Waring for Song
That modest little item about Fred Waring's willingness to write a song for the University if enough student interest was shown, appearing in last Wednesday's Kansan, started a one-man drive for student interest 'hich may culminate in K.U.'s having a new school song.
Originating the idea in his own room where a group of fellows were reading The Kansan, Bill Hogle, b'41, began this display of school

Move to Halt Game Brawls With K-State
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Goalposts and heads were marked for protection last night when the Men's Student Council, began action to secure with Kansas State a treaty to prohibit post-game brawls on the part of too-enthusiastic rooters.
President C. H. Mullen, l'42, said he would write to the student council at Manhattan immediately to try to get the concils from both schools together for a meeting or a banquet.
Promises Punishment
Arrangements similar to these led up to the existing pact to abolish pregame activities such as head-shaving and paint-daubing expeditions to opponents' campuses.
The pact promises violators drastic punishment. Though it was successful in abolishing pre-game destruction, the treaty did not deal with the somewhat recent practice of cane-raising when the game was over. Mullen said he feared that if something was not done, athletic relations between the two schools would be impaired.
Urges Change
The Council heard the smoke question again last night when Jim Postma, '141, introduced a bill which would penalize smoke-law violators in a different manner. The bill provides that a first offender be fined from $2 to $5, for second offense, $5 to $10. For a third offense, the bill stipulates, the student will be suspended from school for a semester. The bill will receive vote at the next meeting, March 11.
Eligibility rules brought M.S.C. careers to an abrupt close last night when it was announced that Ray Buzzell, b'41, Lester Olmsted, gr., and Ray Napier, e'40, had failed to meet scholastic requirements.
Vacanacies were filled by Moyne Lichlyter, m'42, John Weatherwax, c'42, and Bill Doee, c'41.
The Council gave its approval to a K-Book organization bill which

Carrie Watson Bruised in Fall
Miss Carrie M. Watson, librarian emerita, is in Lawrence Memorial hospital suffering from painful hip bruises received when she fell as she was leaving Watson library about 6 o'clock last night.
Her physician said today that Miss Watson had not broken her hip in the fall as had been feared, but that further X-rays would be necessary before saying whether she had suffered any bone fractures.
Miss Watson had requested that she be taken to Lawrence Memorial hospital when her physician was called.
