Jayhawks, Huskers Tangle in Big Six Game Tomorrow
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1939
- Rangy Nebraska Team Has Won Four of Nine Non-Conference Tails Against Strong Opposition; First Big Six Contest for Northern School; Miller Probable Starter For Crimson and Blue
Coach "Phog" Allen's Jayhawk basketeers are going to plunge into something besides a bathbub this Saturday night.
The team, which was just barely able to nose out Kansas State Tuesday for its initial Big Six victory, jumps into the same arena with Nebraska's rangy Husker outfit in Lincoln and before the affair is over they may wish they'd taken a bath
The Huskers have one of the tallest outfits in these parts and they've been running up some fiercely scores against top-notch opponents. Nebraska has won only four and dropped five but some of the teams that have dotted its slate are Minnesota, Stanford, U.C.LA, California, and Woming.
Much improvement has been made in the Jayhawkers' of fensive maneuvers the last two days, but whether they've come far enough along since the
Huskers Have Rangy Team
tensive manikins the last two far enough along since the Wildcat donnybrook remains to be seen.
Coach Harold Browne's lads have averaged 37 points to their adversaries' 44 in nine contests, a record that has been maintained in the way of a scoring effort.
Sophomore Al Randall, 6 foot, 7 inch, high scoring center, is going to be one of the chief wonders of the Kansas队. Not a man of the local roster can honestly say he is a great player, but sophomore in the Husker starting quintet. He is 6-4, and plays guard. Goaly and Miller To Start
To get all the height possible into the Jayhawk line-up, Coach Allen has just about decided to start his injured star, Ralph Mille, at one forward and George Golsy, senior, at the other.
Miller is 6 feet, $1\frac{1}{2}$ and uses every bit of it to good advantage. Gravity, $6\frac{3}{4}$, has been showing plenty in taking rebounds. The last two days in taking rebounds.

Six foot Bob Allen will likely draw the opening "quarterback" assignment and the guard berth will go to Lyman Corlis and Dick Harp, both standing 6-2. Jawhawk Offense Picks Up
In a 20-minute practice game last night this outfit downed a second squad, 28 to 13, in a high scoring affair. The loser's team was composed of Howard Engleman and Hoben Durand, both from primum, center and Bill Hogben and Fonil Durand, guards. Hogben was playing a whale of a game with the "seconds," scoring frequently, besides doing a good job guarding
ON THE SHIN
by jimmy robertson
Comes the time of the year when seniors go to see professors bearing tales of woe, only to hear them say reassuring, "I'll think it over and see what can be done about it." Sitty Deming went to visit a teacher yesterday with such a tale, telling him that she needed that extra grade-point to graduate. No words of cheer were forth coming when the professor looked at her coldly and said, "Miss Deming, the only thing for you to do now is go home and pray."
Having waited two weeks for the Sassity Editor to emerge from the doldrums and start dishing up stuff about who's whose, Ye Shinster has decided to tell all and sundry that Economics Instructor Vant Kebker married a woman and has passed out ojigs so nobody can say he is stingy except Ye Shinster as usual didn't ring the bell.
And all this talk about some Theta from Oklahoma is secretly married is unadulterated gossip. If it was true that she is correct, it was three Theta's.

Hardin, Mont. Jan. 12—(UP)—Plans were announced today to return the only survivor of Custer last stand—Capt. Keough's horse, Comanche—back to the scene of the slaughter.
Now in a storeroom at the University of Kanaa in Lawrence, Comanche's mounted body would be held on board by an honor guard of Lodgeaires.
Montana Town Wants Comanche
Chancellor E. H. Lindley said had night that he had heard nothing whatever concerning the removal of the horse, Comanche, from the University. He added that nothing would be done about the matter here until University administration heard from officials in Hardin, Mont. There is a rule of the Board of Regens that no property of the University goes off the Hill unless it is accompanied by an University official and has official sanction to be removed.
The ceremonies would be held in Hardin June 25, the sixty-third anniversary of the massacre.

which Hardin, Mont., wants to return to the scene of the final picturequee and grusome Indian massacre known as "Custer's Last Stand," now is stabbed in a stall under the stage of Hoch Auditorium. Comanche, the only survivor of the Custer massacre which took place in Wyoming, June 25, 1876, was the favorite mount of Captain Myles Keogh, a fighting Irishman who was in command of Troop I of the 3rd Cavalry, a gilding, fifteen and one-half hands high, and weighing approximately 940 pounds. In regard to color, Comanche might be termed as a claybank, a chestnut, but not a buckskin. The Army supply depot in St. Louis purchased Comanche and he joined the Seventh Cavalry near Ellis, Kan., in 1871. Comanche was first ridden by Captain Keogh during a skirmish with a band of Comanche Indians, and that is how
Comanche died in 1891 at Ft. Riley and Army officers brought the remains to Prof. Lewis Lindsay Dyche of the University of Kansas to be mounted. Will Wyland assisted in the taxidermy, Professor Dyche who wanted the horse for the museum, promised Army officers that he would keep good care of the horse, and he also promise to exhibit him at the Chicago World's Fair if the horse were per-
ina and could live on what little the prairie offered.
Three days after the Custer Massacre a burial patry discovered Comanche who was severely wounded but alive after the battle. The horse was in a critical condition but because it was Captain Koegh's forebear mount and as no bones were broken, several members of the party gave Comanche first aid. After recovering, Comanche was sent to Ft. Lincoln and was allowed the freedom of the post. He was the only living thing that wandered at Comanche camp during the upramp from the commanding officer. It was not an uncommon sight to see the famed horse trross across the parade ground with head held high and prince proudly to his place at the front of the line of Keogh's old troop.

Union Heads Clarify Political Meeting Ban
- Operating Committee Will Permit Student Sponsored Organizations To Meet in Building
The privilege of University student political groups to hold meetings in the Memorial Union building was upheld in a resolution passed by the Union Operating committee in its regular meeting yesterday afternoon.
The committee also decided that the facilities of the dining room, ballroom, and soda fountain should be available solely to student and faculty organizations.
Action upon the political ruling was provoked by a misunderstand- in? between the Young Republicans and Young Democrats this fall. The Democrats were not allowed to have a speaker at a dance in the ballroom; the Republicans were permitted to have a political speech at a banquet.
But following the alteration, a temporary ban was placed on all political meetings in the Union. The Resolution passed Wednesday states "as long as political groups are student sponsored they should have the use of the Union building provided room is available."
Specific Ruling Held
The seeming inconsistency was explained by the fact that a specific ruling disallowed political speeches and hiding, A. Pelliton
Amarvee A. Pelliton
The decision stating that use of the building shall be confined to University use was made in answer to a petition from townpeople to be allowed use of its facilities. Kloor House Committee
Arguments for the decision were that if any city organization were allowed to use the buildings, there could be discrimination against none whatsoever; and that the Union should be needed with student activities alone.
Members of a. deliberative subcommittee which advanced the proposals were: Karl Klooz, burrar, acting chairman; Jeanette January, c39; Leo Johnstone, c40; Elizabeth Johnson, c41; and Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union building.
Legislators Will Visit Wednesday
Kansas legislators will be the guests of the Statewide Activities Commission Jan. 18. C H. Mullen, c39, presided as chairman of the Commission which met at 4:30 p.m. in Frank Strong auditorium.
Legislator guests are to go with relatives, friends, or acquaintances wherever possible. The Kansas statesmen visiting the Campus will be assembled at the Memorial Union and will be met there by student hosts between 5.15 and 5.30 p.m. Jan. 18.
The Commission is made up of representative students from every county in Kansas. Each member is to be the chairman or co-chairman of his county. He is responsible for the entertainment of the legislators from his section of the state. He may write to the legislators and their wives and invite them to visit him, but this action must be checked with headquarters in the Alumni office before the letter is sent.
WEATHER
The members of the Student Statewide Activities Commission were asked to fill out a report telling who their legislators are, who is going to entertain them or entertained. These reports are to be filled out and turned in to the Alumni office not later on Saturday, Jan. 14.
The guests will be given tickets to the basketball game, that night, between Kansas and Missouri. They will be delivered back to Hoch auditorium in plenty of time to get 'into the game at 7:38 p.m.
Kansas: Mostly cloudy. Local rain or snow in ice; slightly colder in northeast portion today; tomorrow probably fair.
The University Daily Kansas will become an afternoon paper beginning with the first issue of the spring semester, Feb. 7.
A Change We Think You'll Like
The Kansan will be issued five times a week, the same days of the week as at present. The only change will be that your paper will reach you late afternoons.
The Sunday Kansan will continue to reach you early Sunday morning as in the past.
This is a return to the plan of publication followed by the Daily Kansan until four years ago.
You have had one semester of reading a morning paper. We plan to give you one semester of an afternoon paper and at the end of this school year we will canvass student sentiment to learn your preference as to a morning or evening publication.
This matter of a change has been under consideration for some time. Last Monday the Kansan Board voted to recommend that this change be made. Yesterday afternoon the Journalism faculty voted to endorse the Kansan Board's action.
We believe you will like the change.

Ira Cram Closes Series Of Petroleum Lectures at University
Ira H. Cram, chief geologist for the Pure Oil company of Tulsa, Okla., yesterday expressed the opinion that the time is not imminent when the entire petroleum supply of the United States will be exhausted:
Publisher.
In the last of a series of four lectures on petroleum geology, Mr. Cram analyzed the pres oil reserve and outlined prospects for turbine drilling in the field "The Future of Petroleum Geology." He spoke in Worthinghall.
"Every time we find a new field," Mr. Cram said, "we add to the present crude oil reserve, but at the present time subtract from the future reserve. Undoubtedly a time will come when our entire oil supply is exhausted. I do not believe that time is imminent."
The speaker stressed the importance of oil in our present life by enumerating a list of present conveniences which would be impossible without it. More than thirty million motor cars and trucks would be delivered within the channels of trade would approximate $3,750,000,000, he said.
The geologist described hydrogenation of coal and the use of oil shale is possible sources of fuel and lubrication for internal combustion engines when the underground pools have been completely utilized. Present coal resources in the United States are equal to thousands of billions of barrels of oil through the hydrogenation process, he said.
Great Source in Coal
“As to the future of our reserves,” he said, “I an optimistic. In the first place, the geological picture has been changed drastically by increases in number of wells although there are still many of this fact. Secondly, great areas look as attractive as present producing areas did before their discovery.”
"Between now and the time when we have a resort to coal and oil shale," Mr. Cram said, "the task of geologists is to continue to meet the year demand for petroleum in our country." I think this means that companies will employ more and more and better and better petroleum geologists.
"Sixty per cent of the automobiles in the United States are owned by persons making less than $30 a week," Mr. Cram stated. "Can you imagine such owning curbs if you were able to get 70 cents a gallon for petroleum?"
"The use of present geophysical methods in exploration for oil is on the downgrade. Tomorrow may see some new methods on the upgrade, should seize this opportunity to exert their science to the fullest."
Optimistic on Future
Band Concerts To Be Broadcast
★ First of Six Programs To Be Played Monday Over Kansas Network
The University Band will broadcast the first of a series of six concerts over the Kansas network next Monday night from 8 to 8:30. The program will originate over WIBW and will be broadcast from Hoch auditorium. WIBW has offered the program to 10 other stations on the network, most of which are expected to accept.
The programs, to be heard over a period of 12 weeks, will be broadcast on the first and third Mondays of each month. Recordings of one of the programs will be submitted to the Columbia Broadcasting company in autumn in an autumnation of a possible nation-wide hook up on that network.
Ben Ludy, publicity director for WIBW, belts that there are not enough good bands available for radio broadcast. Band programs have proven to be one of the most popular forms of radio entertainment because of the difficulty of obtaining units of broadcasting caliber.
Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, has sent out 150 announcements of the radio series to band directors in Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Kansas. The entire band of 94 members will take part in the concert series and expect to play a total repertoire of 40 numbers.
The entire expense of the series is being borne by WIBW as one of their educational features. The program for next Monday evening is:
"Parade of the Gendarms," (Lake); "Procession of Nobles" from the opera "Blada" (Rimsky-Korsekov); "Flight of the Bambole" (Bscherzo from the opera "Legend of the Tsar Sullan") (Rimsky-Korsa-kov); "Three Kings," tri for coren; (Walter M. Smith); "Midnight Dust" overture, (Paul Yoder); "Star Dust" (Carmichael-Yoder); "March of the Steel Men" (Bestering-Alford).
College Seniors To Enroll Early
Early enrollment for seniors will be allowed on Jan. 18, 19, 20, and 23, for those who are making their college education of courses before graduating.
All who are eligible for early enrollment should first come to the College office, where the procedure to be followed in enrolling will be described to them, according to Dean Nelson.
Theatrics Are Used By Orchestra
All students in the College will have the opportunity to discuss their schedule of studies for the next week and advisers within the next two weeks.
By a Staff Writer
All freshmen and sophomores who wish to do so should go directly to their advisers. Office hours of the advisers are posted on the bulletin board opposite the entrance of the building. Visitors to see major advisers will find office hours posted on departmental bulletin boards.
C. H. Mullen, c39, chief Sachem, announced yesterday an important meeting of the senior men's honor society at 4:30 this afternoon in the Pine room.
- Semi-Filled House Hears 36th Annual Concert; Solioits Are Charlene Barber and Arloine Goodjohn
The orchestra probably worked the hardest on "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" (Mozart), into which Conductor Kuesterinter introduced some theatries for the occasion. The stringed orchestra played the first movement, "Allegro," then the stage lights were dimmed and the second and third movements, "Romanez" and "Menuento," were played antipersonally by the String Quartet and the Woodwind Orchestra actively.
Which a Symphony
The University of Kansas Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Karl Kuesterstein, played its 36th annual Mid Winter concert last night to a semi-filled house in Hoch Auditorium.
The two quartets apparently played from high in the second balcony where they could be heard but not seen. Alex Fielder, flutist with the orchestra for many years, shone in this number. Following the two quartet movements the lights on the stage were brought up and the stringed orchestra carried on with the "Tondo."
For their symphony the members of the orchestra performed Schubert's familiar "Unfinitied Symphony" and did what Schubert neglected to do.
Solists of the evening included Charlene Barber, fa'39, violinist who played the Adagio movement from "Romantique Concerto" for violin and orchestra by Goddard. Miss Barber plays her senior recital next week and if her performance last night is an example of her art the public will do well to hear her again. Played by French Proves, Dufourf
The other solist was Arloune Goodjohn, fa 40, soprano, one of the stars of "Blossom Time." She sang St Saens" My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from the opera "Samson and Dellah". Singing it in the unfamiliar French was difficult for Miss Goodjohn. Too much accompaniment particularly in the heavier sections of the orchestra hindered Miss Goodjohn's scoring the success she made in the oneretta last fall.
Director Kuersteiner opened his concert with the Overture to "The Battered Bride" (Smetna), on which the orchestra needed more practice.
The audience did enjoy the familiar "Epana Rhapsody" (Chabrier) despite its slow spots. The concert closed with "A Night on Bald Mountain," which was performed which the Director and the orchestra were well applauded by the listeners. Several persons in the auditorium even yelled "Bravo!"
Approved Rooms To Be Listed
A list of approved rooms available to students for the second semester will be issued within a
proximately two weeks by the Committee on Health and Housing, Willem Leonard, c39, rooming house inspector for men, said yesterday.
Those having approved rooms vacant may list them by calling Mrs. Frank Parker, secretary of the employment bureau, in the alumni office. All such entries must be made by Jen. 20.
