ON THE SHIN
by jimmy robertson
Chancellor E. H. Lindsey is a very busy man who shouldn't be bothered. Most students wouldn't want to embarrass themselves by bothering him unwittingly. Therefore Shinater deems it his duty to expose the unfunest of practical jokes and warn you to tear up any note you may find on your desk asking that you "call 892 and ask for E. H". It's an ancient gag that some moron revives periodically.
Alpha Chi's say that their prize freshman, Estelle Eddy, is able to quote from Confusious, but that every time she quotes him she does so at the wrong time. When asked for a specific example the girls merely blushed and giggled. They all acted like it was something real naughty.
Who's Those and Other Nonsense Tom Yoe, editor of the Jayhawker has been arm - in - arming it with Theta Jane Montgomery quite much of late, which may be one of the reasons why Tom does most of his editing after closing hours . . . Phil Russell is soon to tos a coin is inciding between Fattie and Howell. Better than make up bikini fins and then toss a tuxedo trainer . . . Trakmen Bert Brantz quits running around in the stadium long enough to run after Lois Hays and gain a lap or two on competitors.

Players Revive Old Stage Hit
The play had its first New York performance in 1923-24. It was revived not long ago on the New York stage. Of the production, the February issue of "Stage" says: "We approached the revival of 'Outward Bound' with some of the same uncertainty with which one takes an old beloved book down from the shelves. Would it stir the heart and the imagination the way it did 14 years ago? But we needn't have worried, for it was still a profound sentimental experience."
By Lois Wilson, c 41 "Outward Bound," a play received on Broadway 15 years ago with great acclaim, is the victim of forbidden stage classics by the Kansas Players beginning March 27 in Fraser theater. Tense drama is rampant in this play by Sutton Vane, where an outboard boat carries a cargo of dead persons, all unaware that their lives are over, into a mysterious "Beyond."
