According to Professor Buehler this tournament is one of the hardest to win of any in the United States. This was the first tournament of Rhodes and Vess had entered his third, Professor Buehler said, year.
"Resolved that the State of Texas Should adopt the Sales Tax," was the question. Rhodes and Voss debated the matter and were affirmative during the seven rounds.
Other Universities who were represented are: Louisiana State, Mississippi, Baylor, Texas Christian Methodist, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

ON THE SHIN

Unverified, Uprolished, and Unforgivable, the following jottings were gleaned from Ye Shinster's little blue notebook and various waste-paper baskets. A few are slightly amusable—the majority have until now been considered unusable. With the exception of some personal reminders, such as, "Call Mariana Bantleen for a date," or "Ask the housemother why we never have chop suey," the drivel withfit set down represents a glimpse into the notebook. . . .
Congratulations to Pi Phi's for their new pledge, Margaret Barber—and to the Sig Alphas for the acquisition of Don Brown. Best matched couple at the Triad was Wayne Wilson and Marian Springer. Make mention of Mary Markham and Hernan Smith having fun at the same party. Look alike: Abel Lincoln and Cseke Hiatt. Most eligible person added in appling and a New Buck convertible. Woeful: Beta John David Stuart gets date for Wentworth ball and is disgusted to discover his mother has invited his little cousin for him.

"Europe is getting old and tired.
It has too many problems and no time to think of the future and of culture. We young people want to give to life something, so I chose America for my country."
Europe 'Too Old and Tired;' Gorin Chooses America
"This is not just another contest," says Edwin Browne, business manager of the Kanans, "but a contest set up with University students specifically in mind. University of Kansas students only are allowed to enter. It is not a nation-wide affair; just a local contest with the idea of increasing profit and fun for both merchants and students."
Browne pointed out a few things to remember. No entrant is required to make purchases of any kind; first announcement of awards and presentation of credit slips will be made at the Granada theater every Tuesday at 9 p.m.; ad blanks for signing will be found in the ad columns for today and every day during the competition.
All the freedom and liberty, all he enchantment that America holds
Although Gorin first came to America in 1834, the wonders of the 48 states have never ceased to amaze him. In four months he will become a citizen of this country, ending the process of naturalization he started eight days after landing in the United States.

Gorin has appeared on the radio with Grace Moore and on the Hollywood Hotel program. In the movies, he has been featured in such shows as "Broadway Melody of 1938." Opera and the concert stage know Gorin. "I like radio for its vastness," he said (it is estimated) 15,000,000 persons hear the Gorin broadcasts, "pictures for their interest, but the opera and the concert stage are my ideals."
Of medium height, with wavy hair and eyes that increase in depth when he talks of music, Igor Gorin could be termed a handsome young man. His English is spoken with a light accent and is noticeably free from many of the common words Americans use. His speech leans towards the more exact shades of meaning.

Three prizes will be awarded. An entrance fee of 10 cents is payable to Mr. Morley. All drawings are due March 18.
A new edition of the Sour Owl, called "Spicy Terror Tales," will be on sale on the Campus Tuesday morning.
To prove the hair-raising quality of the issue, editor Dick LaBan, c39, offers an explanation for it at the beginning of the magazine.
"On the stage you meet you and dience face to face. You see their reactions and you know what they are thinking, if I may say so. You can see them become happy because of your art."
Gorin was born in the Ukraine in Russia. In the Europe which is "old and tired," Hitler has taken Austria, where Gorin was educated, first in medical school and then in the Conservatory of Music. Hitler has taken part of Czechoslovakia, where Gorin was under contract to the Czechoslovakian opera company. And now Dur Fuerher looks with greedy eyes towards Gorin's birthplace, the Ukraine.
Here are the 10 commandments of the Kansan contest.

Gorin, who has developed a fine American "Yesh" in the past few years, tours every town in which he makes an appearance—on foot. "I like to see their main street, the stores, and I need the fresh air and exercise." His hobby is photography, that is, when he has time from his work. "I may get a vacation in July," his voice brightened, "but maybe not. There is some talk of putting me in another picture." German, English, Russian, Polish, French, Ukrainian, and Czechoslovakian are the languages Gorin speaks. "In song and talking, slan is the most beautiful, English next but in poetry, English is char-

Flying Program Gets Under Way
Await Arrival of Major Robertson To Draw Up Final Plans
Plans for the flying program will be mapped out this week when Major William B. Robertson, president of the company which has received the contract to train the University officials, Earl D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering, said yesterday.
According to Professor Hay, no definite plans can be made until Major Robert arrives.
Robertson will work out arrangements for the flight instruction with the local airport after he has looked at the flying facilities in Lawrence.
It was reported that the Robertson aircraft corporation would purchase several Cub sport type planes for the flight instruction which would be given under the direction of two Robertson pilots. Profession Hay said that nothing can be decided concerning the type of planes or instruction used upon corporation arrival next week. The chances are that local pilots will be used in instructing the student pilots.
The contract given to the Robertson corporation provides for the payment of $247.50 for each student trained. The University will stand the estimated $750 expense of the students the prerequisite ground course.
Final examinations of the applicants for flight training have been given and the results sent to Washington. Hay expects to receive the names of the 20 flyers selected sometime this week. As soon as they are named and plans with Major Robertson are completed, the initiatory course in student飞ings will get under way.
Although only 20 students will be trained this semester, say Hare, there may be an increase in the number of students that can take the training next fall. The present program is an experiment in the government's plan to train 5,000 college students to fly.

Missouri Downs K-State 45-37
Columbia, M., Feb. 25, (UP—)
Missouri moved into a tie with Kansas for first place in the Big Six竞赛，45 to 37 victory over Kansas State.
The game was listless and marred by ragged offensive play. Both teams seemed content to play a waiting, slow breaking type of basketball. The only time either team hit much of a hot streak was early in the second period when John Lobsinger, Blaine Currence, and Harlan Keirsey popped in three quick baskets for Missouri.
Homer Wesche, Kansas State's leading scoring added to his point total by scoring seven field goals and two free throws for a total of 16.
The lead see-sawed back and forth between the teams during the first half with Missouri holding a 24 to 23 lead when the period ended.
The Tigers defense faltered shortly before the half ended and Glenn Bones Wesche and Reid got eight points in quick accession with less than 5 shots. Cooper put马斯 in the lead in the ring, a one handed shot from the ring.

Breaks Phog's Mark
Adds Scoring Punch
It was Bark Nite in Hoch auditorium last night as Howard Engleman led the Jayhawkers to a 59 to 45 victory over the Oklahoma Boy Seats before a gasping record crowd of 5,080. Kansas led at the half, 25 to 23, the result of a desperate heave from the center of the court by Ralph Miller as the gun went off.
Englan wasn't the only Kansas satellite, however. Bruce Vorm and Ralph Miller, who scored nine points before he went out on fouls early in the second period, were sand in the hall bearings of a tauted high-scoring Sooner machine. Voran, with his left-handed shots glued largely from rebounds on Kansas offensive sallies, rang the buckets for 12 points. He also scored two free throws.
Engleman cashed in on a new scoring record. Kansas cashed in on a smashing victory and a big advance toward another Big Six title. The Jayhawkers will be harder to stop now than the run in a pair of silk hose as they trew that familiar bunting. Oklahoma didn't cash in—they took a raincheck on a possible title, and checked out heading toward Lincoln where they will attempt to lift their morale and title chances.
As the game ended the crowd stormed on the court and mobbed Engleman and the whole Kansas team. The 14-point margin of victory was a big one.
Engleman cashed in on a new Kansas scoring record as he dropped, swished, banked—and poured every sort of a shot through the hoop to amass a total of 27 points. The old record was held by Dr. F. C. Allen himself. He scored 26 points against Emporia in 1906, as he led the Jayhawks to a 60 to 14 victory.
BRUCE VORAN
Engleman was unstoppable as he scored baskets from all over the court to put the skids under a group of bewildered Sooners, who came to Kansas with hopes for a big step joward a Big Six championship, but look two steps in reverse to every chug they made forward.
Voran is another first year man who stood out in last night's game. Voran scored 12 points using his left hand push shot to good advantage.
The Kansas victory, coupled with Missouri's 45 to 37 defeat of K-State, shoved the Sooners into third place as the Jujahawkers and Tigers staged a duo march to the head of the Big Six parade.
Jimmy McNatt scored 16 points to lead the Oklahoma attack and keep the Sooners in the game. He received aid from Mesch and Mullen.

he scored nine and eight points, respectively, but their efforts weren't rough. The determined Jawhayk, every man realizing that a defeat would eliminate them from title consideration, were hawking the ball and the Sooners as they piled up a substantial last half lead.
The Jayhawkers took the lead with four minutes remaining in the first half and made it permanent. At one time in the second half—with seven minutes to go—Kansas had a 14 point lead. The Sooners were trying desperately to close the gap, but the defense tempted the Jayhawkers, their scoring, and the timer's watch rolled on.
The Allen crew, at the head of he parade for the first time this season even though it is with someone else, faces a monumental task n trying to hurdle Missouri at Columbia Thursday night. The winner if that game in all probability will be this season's champions. Okliaima, although not out of the reckoning, faces just as monumental a ask in its next two games against Braska and Kansas State.

that the Jayhawkers stymied. It was McNatt and four other players—when McNatt went out so did the Sooner offensive and chances for victory, but even McNatt couldn't turn the last night. Oklahoma's passing also contributed to its downfall. He and his teammates any as they threw the ball away time after time in the second half.
The crowd, largest in history for Kansas home game, was treated to a fast tilt and vented its vocal makers made a questionable decision.
