Frosh Frolic Nears Sellout Littooy Says
\* Dance Manager Predicts 'Full House' of 600 at Friday Dance; Barnet Uses Ellington Arrangements
"With almost 450 of the 600 tickets to the Freshman Frolic Friday night already sold, it looks like Charlie Barnet will play to a full house," Fred Littoy, '14, student dance manager, said last night.
After the Frolic, Barnet will go on to Kansas City to fill an engagement at the Pla-mor. He and his group of swingers have risen to dance band fame in a comparatively short time.
Barnet is using most of Duke Ellington's arrangements to take the place of the ones that his organization lost when the Palomar ballroom in Los Angeles burned during his engagement there.
"There'll be a minimum of agony from grinding heels and swinging elbows since we've limited the sale of tickets to 600," said Littoo, "and that should insure maximum enjoyment for the dancers."
The general counsel of the Congressional committee now investigating the legal basis of the National Labor Relations Board, has requested Robert M. Davis, professor of law, to aid in interpreting the power of the police on constitutional law involved in the Wagner Act.
Tickets are on sale at Bell's music store, the College business office and the Memorial Union building.
Congress Asks Advice of Davis
Professor Davis has also been invited to attend and testify at hearings held by the committee in Washington, and to write his views on specified constitutional and legal situations involved in the investigation.
On The
SHIN
By Reginald Buxton
It isn't true that Alpha Chi Mary Margaret Cosgrove is married to Phi Psi Kri Owens. But it is true that the lass returned from Colorado with a weird nuptial tale and a dine-stone diamond on her left hand. She is now a bride to Miss Margaret's own story. After this we demand more proof than a tale and a ring before we print marriage announcements.
Wayne Whelan has disrupted the Sigma Chi house by installing a private phone. We're all wondering if the phone is for Theta Ciel King and whether he would be in danger or for his supposed "steado" of Washburn, Mary Alexander.
Neat ad campaign—Agnes Mumert singing "Especially for Woo."
Not taking the rumor about no student-owned cars seriously, Theta's Jane Blaney and Betty Muchin have both purchased new 'mobiles —Jane a Mercury and Betty a LaSalle. Something tells us their fathers aren't in the farming business.
We prophecy—that Delt pledge Bill Perdue will call up Gamma Phi Margie Heimbrook two days before his house party for a re-deate on the grounds that he won't have to tend bar after all. Margie will have to decline because she has been signed by Charlie Soller for the affair. The whole thing will end with Percula dragging Pi Phi Jean Anderson—that is, it will if we haven't spilled something.
Once we broke our clubs after (Continued on page three)

Hoesly Attend Bi-State Meeting
Miss Ola Hoesly, associate professor in the department of home economics, attended a meeting for the home economics teachers of Kansas and Missouri in Kansas City Mo. Tuesday.
Though Pachacamac is in a minority in the Council, their decision become even more important last night as Lester Olmstead, gr., P.S.L. Councilman, came out independently in favor of the smoking ban. Should P.S.L. now decide to oppose the measure, they will contend with Mr. Olmstead. P.S.L. president of the Council has already declared himself in favor of the proposal, irrespective of what his party decides.
PS.GLW was still noncommittee,
yesterday. Bob Marietta, c40, president,
said their decision was delayed because "some new things came up yesterday afternoon." The party stand is still a question "until we see how these things develop." Marietta said.
The anti-smoking bill was dealt its first blow yesterday when the Society of Sachen, honorary society for senior men, decided by a 2-1 vote not to support the measure. The Society gave the following statement of position: "Believing that the fire hazard is negligible inasmuch as smoking is now largely confined to fireproof buildings, and therefore not affected by the installation of sand urs, we think that the privilege of the student body to smoke in University buildings should be preserved."
is complete, probably Friday night.
Smoke-bill action moved into a new stage yesterday as the Pachacamae political party began a poll of men students to determine popular opinion on the proposed ban.
When the M.S.C. meets Monday night the smoking bill will be the chief item on their order of business. It is up to the Council to reject or approve the ban at that time. On the following evening the W.S.G.A will meet to pass on an order passed, the bill will be published in the Daily Kansan and will go into effect 10 days later.
This is the first Hill organization to oppose the bill, five having voted to support it.
The number of straw balloons in each of the nine schools will depend on the number of men students in that school. Seth Gray, c40, president of Fachumac, said that his party's position would be decided when the vote.
Along with Sachem's statement came one from Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, approving the no-smoking proposal. "I am in favor of burning smoke in buildings because of fire hazards, appearing to be a danger to the impression of untiness it, gives visitors," Meguiar said.

R.O.T.C. Adopts New Infantry Drill
United States Army after many months of experimentation at various army posts of which Ft. Bening, Ga., was the principal testing grounds. There is no goose-stepping as used by Germany and copied by Italy or elaborate fancy parades with mass troop such as used by the Russians. This drill is a kind of its own, a scientific drill. It has been simplified
This year the Hull's own "army", the ROTC, has adopted the new regulation infantry organization and drill which replaces the antiquated set-up and drill established by Frederick the Great and introduced in the United States with slight variation by Count Von Steuben at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War.
This new drill was adopted by the
(mobilization) and to make for greater efficiency in the field of battle. From the colonel down to the private there are many new changes which make it difficult for each soldier to alter his old drill habits of complicated movements and snappy manual" of arms and learn anew a movement, but the number of movements and a less precise manual of arms.
The changes, along with the Gar-
and rifle which is replacing the old Springfields, will make the infantry one of the best drilled and equipped units in the world, experts say. The new rifles are automatic in nature. Compared with the Springfield they were more accurate and efficient because of the elimination of ticking and their lightness in weight.
