'Chutes Are Safe Pilot Tells School
"Making a parachute jump is just as safe as stepping off your own back porch," Sergeant E. B. Murphy told 63 students in the Civilian Flight Training course last night. The parachute chief from Fairfax airport in Kansas City said "There was never a case on record where a parachute failed to open because of the parachute or its packing."
In the demonstration of the parachute and its use, Dale Luehring c'42, aided the instructor by donning the air life belt. With one pull of the ripcord, the small pilot shuttle shot from the pack. The larger silk umbrella followed immediately. The chute had opened and 68 yards of silk covered the table. "This sheer silk can stand to strain fluid over 4,000 pounds," the veteran of 13 years in the U.S. Marines said.
The parachute expert was accompanied by Mr. Vince Green of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, who is in charge of the Civilian Pilot Training program. John P. Norris, also of the C.A.A., arranged for the demission. Norris is a member of the Private Flying Development Section.
"We don't expect that any of you students will ever have to use a parachute." Norris said. "But if you know something about it, you know something about it."
Class Schedules Available Soon
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, announced yesterday that enrollments will be available in a day or so.
Deon Lawson urges all freshmen and sophomores to see their advisers sometime during the next week to talk over their enrollment for the coming semester. "Students who make out preliminary schedules with the aid of their advisers will be able to avoid some of the confusion that is often found on the enrollment floor," he said.
Any freshman or sophomore who has difficulty in finding his adviser in invited by Dean Lawson to come to the College office for assistance.

Police Search for Prof Who Didn't Come Home
On a perfect night for a murder,
Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology,
stepped out "just to mail a letter"
today night and never came home.
When notified by the professor's wife, the local police force went into action. Patrol cars were out, searching parties were formed, newspapers got ready for a big story. WREN interrupted regular broadcasting to give descriptions of the professor.
For four hours the hunt went on, and when all their efforts gave no clue, searchers were about to believe they had escaped away by the night's dense for-
Come 12 p.m., 1 p.m, or even 2 p.m—the atmosphere is frigid—the sun has been below the horizon six or seven hours and the earth is desolate and cold. It is at this uninviting time that a peculiarly clad figure stands before the mirror dabbing bits of goo on her face.
How To Sleep in a Dorm Or a Fashionable Way To Freeze
At 9 p.m., however, Professor Eldridge walked into his home entirely unaware of the search underway for him.
He had merely neglected to mention that he was meeting one of his sociology classes for a dinner session that evening.
Surmounting her head is a pointed snow cap, her feet are enclosed in the lower chambers of pink Dr Dentons. A long fuzzy scarf dangles beneath its back. Under the woofer bathrobe bits of an angora sweater can be seen.

Stagettes Do All Cutting at Tonight's I.S.A. Dancing
A college version of Doisy Maze will ride the dance floor at the Vice-Peron Varsity, LA S. A. leave year party, in the center of the campus, from building from 9 to 12, clock together.
She will not only invite Lil' Abner, but escort him to the party, do all the "cutting" on the dance floor. The event has to be "stuck," it means to be "stuck," and discover how much trouble men have with their date's paraphenalia.

Cold winds are rushing hither and yon over dormant forms. The strangely attired one who now could be mistaken for a visitor from Mars, travels quickly in a memorized fashion to the side of an unoccupied bed.
Only women stags will be admitter o the dance.
Mrs. Graves was the mother of Alfred J. Graves, Lawrence, former instructor in the department of journalism. Other survivors are Walter Graves of Omaha, and Ralph E. Graves of Wichita.
A mumbled curve is heard as she snatches a pillow from under the head of a snoring form. With effort she lifts the 10 covers and two fur sweaters up, then falls into between two ice weights with numbed extremities she falls asleep.
Funeral Services for Mother Of Former Instructor Today

Concert Feb. 26 Is Opera Ballet
- Son Francisco Company Will Replace Gieseking Concert Next Month
The San Francisco Opera Baller,
formerly scheduled to appear at the
University as an extra concert attract,
will be here Feb. 26 as a regular concert course presentation
placing pianist Walter Gieseking,
Dean D. M. Sworthth announced
yesterday.
Arrangements for the concert were made after repeated telegram exchanges with New York concert managers. The change will enable students to see and hear the dancing group as a part of activity book admissions, which do not include extra concert presentations. Persons holding season tickets for the concert course series will be admitted on tickets for the concert by Walter Gleasing.
The change became necessary when it was learned that the tightly-drawn British blockade would prevent the German artist from coming to this country for a tour that included over 40 concerts.
Dean Swarthout said that the west coast ballet company required a higher fee than did the pianist, but the cancellation of the German's tour in addition to a small concourse is due by the dancers group made possible their appearance as a regular feature of the concert series.
The San Francisco Opera Ball begins its yearly tour immediately after the close of the opera season in November. The company on tour is led by the artistic artists appearing in the regular opera season with the famous company.

A Rugged Wildcat
Bruce Reid, smooth-passing senior forward, will be in the starting lineup for Kansas, having nudged out Don Eling - at least for the present — with his brilliant playing the last four or five games.
Early season prognosticators hardly gave the State outfit a mention in the Big Six picture, but young Jack Gardner has already whipped together a better than average team. Combine with this old jinx the K-Staters have held over Kansas the last few years and you can see where they might give Dr. F. C. Allen's pennant-bound cagers some trouble tonight.

This will be the second Big Six game of the season for both teams, each having played Oklahoma last week-end. The Jayhawkers won impressively, while the Manhattanites were drubbed badly after staying on even terms for three quarters.
In the front line with Reid will be Ralph Miller, the brilliant shot-
Dick Harp, senior captain, and Johnny Kline, big junior rebounder, will hold down their regular back-court posts, and Bob Allen, who has shaken off a provoking charkyhure, will be at his usual quarterback pouch.
Gardner has nominated three seniors and two juniors for his starting quintet. At forwards will be Joe Robertson, senior, and Chris Langvart, junior. The guards will be taken care of by Melvin Seelye, senior, and Norris Holston, junior.
Feid Causes Trouble
Allen saw the Wildcats play a tough DePaul team in Chicago last Monday night and announces without hesitation that his boys are going to be in for a tough evening. "They are big and rough," he declare, "and are showing a lot more finesse the Kansas State teams of previous years."
The old belief that nothing good can come out of Kansas State is liable to be disproved tonight when a stubborn Wildcat basketball team arrives on Mt. Oread for a clash with the Jayhawks at 7:30 o'clock in Hock auditorium.
The area of the visiting team is Kevin Reid, hulking senior who caused the Jayhawks no end of trouble in the two games last year. Reid is a fine rebounder and picks up a lot of bats from his positional near the basket.
Sophomores Dan Howe, Jack Horack, and Dick Checkfield have been performing nobly for the Wildcats, so far, but tonight Coach Garner has decided to bank on what few veterans are in the game. *Ticket For Kansas*
Seelye was the slick quarterback who caused the football players no end of trouble on the Memorial stadium turf last November, and those who saw him in Chicago report that he got into a neat ball handler on the court.
This will be the nineteenth time these state rivals have met on the hard-ground, since their series started in 1846 and their careers hold a 38 to 31 edge in victories.
In games this season Kansas has a much more impressive record with 8 wins out of 9, while K-State has won only four out of nine. The only common opponent besides Oklahoma has been Baker. The Wildcats deserved the Baldwin crew by two points, while the Jayhawks swamped them, 34 to 18, in the Topeka tournament.

The present plan of those in charge of the room is to play a complete work every Friday night. "Fault" was chosen to open the series because of popular demand by both students and faculty members.
