ON THE SHIN
by jimmy robertson
Your correspondent has it (and it's wrong hell help him!) that Monte Merkel passed five pounds of peanuts last night at the A. D. P. house when he announced his "friendship" with Selma Hensler, Mr. Merkel being one of the better known football players, we can all expect to see pictures of the couple in the Kansas City Star should their "friendship" develop into something romantical.
And speaking of peanuts, Ye Shinster's probesue will look more like a tomato than usual when he has finished using it to roll a peanut from Green hall to the Union building. In front of witnesses he told Don Wood, dance manager, that if more than $900 had been paid for Jimi Hendrix he would perform the athletic feat. The correct answer was $25. . . not quite the $900 that some of us had been led to believe.
Perhaps the best of local dance band authorities is "Gus," the shoe artist at a Hill tonorsal parlor. Bands are his hobby, and he tells me that not until the last one has finished disturbing the eater at around 2 a.m. does he retire. Add and reminisce: the first time Gus ever put a mirrored window on him and felt so self conscious that I kicked dust on them as I walked through the playground in front of Brick's.
Feeling that Christmas is far enough past, most of the boys have blossomed forth in new neck-neck this week. They're covered the day after. Continued on page 2
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1939
Ellen Payne Leaves Job To Marry History Instructor
Ellen Payne, versatile leader of the Y.W.C.A., who resigned Monday evening as general secretary of the organization, is the youngest woman who has held that position at the University. Her forth-coming marriage to Theodore Paullin, instructor in the department of history, was given as the reason for the resignation.
Graduating from Kansas State College in 1936. Miss Payne took up her work here in September. 1936. Besides being a member of Mortar Board, a member of Delta Delta Delta social sorority, and president of the Y.W.C.A., Miss Payne was graduated with the highest grades ever to have been made in Kansas State College.
Her talents are far from being limited to the making of grades. She is a poet of no small order, having had her work published in the Kansas City Star, the Kansas Magazine, in the Delta Delta magazine and in the Kansas State Collegian. She was a member of the Quill
Club while in school. She plays a good game of handball, and likes to hike, and has taken part in many camp sessions during the summers. Last year she was conference leader at the Etes conference.
"I have been very happy for the privilege of working with Ellen Payne, and I am very sorry to lose her, but she since will remain in Lawrence, I hope she will continue in close relationship with the organization," Eddie Parks said concerning the secretary's resignation. In a letter to Mrs. Joseph King, chairman of the advisory board Miss Payne wrote, "It is with a combination of regret and joy that
A view of the secretary's office and her sitting room, both in Hennley house, reveals that Miss Payne likes ships, for she has a number of ship pictures about her rooms. Perhaps this may be attributed to the fact that she was born in the coastal state of Massachusetts.
During her three years as general secretary in the Y.W.C.A. here, Miss Payne has proved that youth and efficiency can be combined, for, according to Eddie Parks, c'40, president of the local organization, the secretary has been most successful. She has brought into closer harmony and cooperation the Y.W. and M.Y.C.A. the president said.

However, she has spent most of her life in Manhattan, where her father is a member of the faculty in the agricultural department of Kansas State. The "Y" secretary graduated with a major in education and a minor in psychology. Preparation for the WYCA position through extensive work in the cabinet organization as cabinet member, president, and representative to national convention.
C. S. E. P. Employs 248 Men And 147 Women Students
Of 922 applications for jobs received in the CSEP office during the summer and fall of 1938, 338 students were granted jobs, it was shown by a survey of the students. The survey was made under the direction of Miss Martha Tillman, executive secretary of the CSEP.
Of the students on the payrol 248 are men and 147 are women.
A summary of the data in the survey includes a comparison of the ages of the students in relation to their classification in the University, and the number employed from each class.
"The study was made," Miss Tillman stated, "in order to give us a clear picture of the financial level of the students working under the program. Although conclusions were often made with very vague information as basis, this study is still quite comprehensive, and the material contained in it serves as a basis for charts and graphs to help workers clearly be understood." Nearly Half Support Self
Also listed is the percentage of state residents and non-state residents, and a comparison of the location of student homes and the type of homes from which students come.
It was shown that the family incomes of 80.6 per cent of the workers is less than $1,500 yearly. Forty-four and three-tenths per cent of the workers are entirely self-supporting.
Farm Parents Lead
Miss Tillman indicated she considered the income and occupation groups the most interesting in the survey. From farm families and towns of less than 2,000 population come 50.4 per cent of the CSEP workers. More than one-fourth of the parents of the children in these programs are farmers. This group far outnumber any of the other occupation groups. It is seconded only by the laborers, who represent 10.9 per cent of the workers' families.
Miss Tillman hopes the survey will enable the CSEP office to judge more completely the situation of every student employed under the NYA, both this semester and next
Debaters Attack, Support Pump Priming Program
Condemning the present program of government spending the University of California debate team met the Kansas team yesterday afternoon in a cross examination debate in the Little Theater of Green Bay, Wisconsin, debate team Bernard Sharpio and J Riger Wollenberg.
- California Speakers Call For Holt To Use of Public Funds In Attempt T o Bolster Business
Bob McKay, £39, and Leo Rhodes, b'35, representing the University, defended Roosevelt's present program, debating the question "Resolved: That the United States should cease to use public funds, including credit, for the purpose of stimulating business."
The first speaker for the affirmative was Bernard Shaprio. "We are not Republicans and we shall not criticize Roosevelt as he is criticized by the Hearst paper. Chamber of Commerce and the American肚 but we are trying to find a way out." Planning A Necessity
Shapiro pointed out the past history of economics in this country, mentioning the past economic crises in this country.
Quoting the President as saying the United States would soon be "an eight billion dollar country," he attacked him because of his contention that prices have risen and wages have not.
"We must have economic planning. Call us Socialists if you want but unless the industries are concerned it will be no solution to the problem."
Mckay, the first Kansas speaker pointed out to the affirmative that they had misunderstood Roosevelt's plans.
Negative Uphold New Deal
Wollenberg, of California, an swered McKay's speech by discus sing price fixing.
Those fellows you see going around with red faces are the same ones that were dead sure the Jay-hawks would have an easy time winning by 15 or 20 points . . . After leading 3 to 2 very early in the contest, Kansas went behind and could not knot the tally until 10 minutes of the last half had passed . . .

Ervin Reid tossed in four buckets and two free throws to give Wesche able assistance.
"Bosevelt has set a program that he intends to be permanent, with moderation, of course," McKay said. "The past crises have run until wars have brought them to a halt. However, in 1929 nothing was done. Things went from bad to worse. Then the government began to have a program to make a unite attack upon this problem, regulating the spending from time to time."
Right after the second period began "Phog" sent Ralph Miller into the milling with the home forces trailing by nine points . . . Then things began to happen . . . The

Bobby Allen's fiery floor play and his headlamp dives after loose balls made the olds think of brother "Mit".

U. S. Envoys Predict War Before Summer
★ Kennedy, Bullitt Report to Congressional Committees European War Invitable Over Italy's Demands
Washington, Jan. 10- (UF)—General European war before summer over Italy's demand for French colonies was predicted today by the American ambassadors to France and Great Britain in secret testimony before congressional committees which will weigh President Roosevelt's $2,000,000,000 national defense program.
It was learned from an unimpeachable source that Joseph P. Kennedy, ambassador to the court of St. James, and William C. Bullitt, ambassador to France, informed a joint executive session of the house and Senate affairs committee that they believe a general conflict inevitable.

\* Wildcats Lead 20 to 12 at Half; Allen's Men Display Brilliant Offense and Tight Defense in Final Stages; Wesche Is High Point Man of Big Six Basketball Contest
By Milt Meier Kansan Sports Editor
I. S. A. Drive Starts Monday
Combining a desperate offense with an amazing defense in the last half of the game, the Kansas Jayhawkers managed to stagger in the winner in last night's Big Six basketball encounter with the Kansas State Wildcats. The final score was 33 to 29 for Kansas, but only after a listless first half in which the Wildcats led to 10 to 12 did Coach Allen's Cagers start a consistent scoring assault on the篮
- Membership Fee Set At One Dollar; Hope For 1500 New Members
The Independent Student Association will begin its drive for new members next Monday, it was announced by Charles Alexander, Isa, chairman of the national executive board of the L.S.A., last night. The membership, to cast a dollar, will entitle the purchaser to three dances to be held during the L.S.A. convention here March 31 and April 1. Two of these dances will be played by Hill bands and the third is to be played by a nationally known orchestra.
Any independent student may sell memberships and will be entitled to a ten per cent commission from all sales. The L.S.A. expects to have a majority of the independent students in the association by March 4. This will mean more than 1,500 new memberships.
At a meeting of the LSA. last night Lloyd Estes, c'42, was appointed to the council. Other members of the council are: Susan Malone, c'38; Tom Roames, c'40; Cynthia Golden, Fielder, edunil; and Charles Alexander, fs. Due to the amount of time required of members of the council Nancy Fleming, c'40, and Ray Phelps, c'1, resigned from the council. Charles Alexander left for the University of Oklahoma last night to confer with Dean J. F. Prinkle, c'1, resigned regarding the National convention of the LSA. to be held here March 31-April 1.
The loss of Wesche, all-Big Six center who led the scorers with 14 points, and Kramer, didn't help the Aggies' cause.

Kansas: Considerable cloudiness today and tomorrow. No decided change in temperature.
*Wesche went out on fouls with seven and one-half minutes of the last half gone and Kramer followed him to the bench a minute later. With these two men gone, the State offense rested on Reid, who was a thorn in the side of the Jayhawkers all evening.
But by this time it didn't matter, as the Kansas score had mounted to 21 against the Wildcat 22—the offense was clicking—and the Jay-bawker defense was tighter than before. He stumped a stamp. Corlis is *Suplurk*
Lyman Corlis and Ralph Miller easily were the standouts for the Kansas cause, although "Cotton" Engleman led the Jayhawk scorers with seven points. Corlis was all over the court, like a tapelin, intercepting passes. His rebound work was good, and he scored six points when they met in the 10th quarter around with plenty of accuracy and despite his "football" knee scored six points in the球队 to help clinch the game.
From the opening moments of the game the Wildcat, supposed to be the quarry of the favored Jayhawkers, reversed its role and turned hunter, bewildering the Kansas team with accurate shooting.
Kansas, on its first half shots from the floor, was cold as Siberia. Engleman was having the most trouble but all the team was bothered with shots rolling around the rim of the hoop and coming out. Only two of 27 shots were made in the opening period, as an invisible hand seemed to put a zipper on the basket.
Early Aggie Lead
Aud started the scoring for Kansas State with a goal one and one half minutes after the opening whistle. Engleman retaliated to tie the score at 2-all. Harp made it three on Dreier's doulfer to give Kansas the lead for the final 10 seconds time in the field. Cortis missed throw and Ervin Reid looped in another basket to make it four in three for the Wildcat.
Harp tied the score on Kramer's foul, but Wesche began his volley on the basket with a long shot from the side that swished through the net. Harp and Boes missed gift tosses and a moment later Wesche made it seven. When the next opponent who was substituted for Kappelman, made it six to seven with two free throws as the result of Kramer's foul.
From this point on out, the Wildcats pulled away from Kansas and
