PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 4, 1939 Kansan Comment Discarded Calendar Pages Reveal Varied Story Three hundred and some odd days ago another calendar page was ripped off and people began making mistakes in dating the year of their Christmas "thank you" notes. Since then several hundred students have worn black togas and flat hats, while others slipped their feet into crepe soled shoes to hike up the Hill to the State U. for the first time. Twelve more ripped pages, every thirty days or so, disposed of 1938-leaving wondering freshmen less bewildered and skeptical seniors more uncertain. Everything didn't stop and start over again after '38 folded up the other night. Trains glided on through the night. Hitler was still a heel, restaurants poured gallons of black coffee into three-ounce cups, Japan didn't declare war on China, people ate breakfast the following morning, some were buried, Mussolini stuck out his jaw, traffic lights flashed at traffic, Murphy stepped into the attorney general's office, eulogies and phillipics were printed about the old year. School, however, didn't keep. Education was cut off at the source to allow students and professors alike to watch the turning of the last calendar page. But again, as last year, in spite of the high mortality rate of class attendance, professors stood on rostrums according to schedule. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ During the last months of winter and through the spring of 1938 Hitler anschlussed Austria into his loving admits. In the two wars, the Spanish Insurgents bathed in the Mediterranean at Vinaroz and the Chinese continued to retreat, even after trapping thousands of Japanese at Taierbehwang. Indignant Eden protested Chamberlain's appeasement of dictators by resigning, and Stalin liquidated brother-leaders in the "Trozkyite conspiracy." At home, Congress pigeonholled the Administration's reorganization bill, passed the 1938 AAA, filibustered for 30 days before throwing the anti-lynching bill in the waste basket, passed the Wages-and-Hours law, and appropriated billions for relief, public works, and armaments. Roosevelt appointed Solicitor General Reed to succeed retired Justice Sutherland, dismissed Chairman Arther E. Morgan of TVA, asked Congress for more money and a monopoly investigation. The Supreme Court upheld the PWA in granting funds to municipal electric plants, validated the Public Utility Holding Company Act's requirement that utilities must register with the SEC, and a three-judge court approved the TVA in Chattanooga. Richard Whitney and company failed, and Hines was arrested as a fixer for the numbers racket. On the Hill, students resented being called reds and the Kansan published letters and reprinted editorials opposing and rediculing the state legislature's proposal to appropriate $10,000 for an investigation. By the time the senate had finally killed the red investigation bill, basketball rooters found the Big Six championship dropped into their laps. Likewise, K. U. basked in reflected glory when Cunningham ran the mile in 4:04.4 at Dartmouth. The women elected Landrith W.S.G.A. president and Grimes won the top seat on the M.S.C. Spring Swing, first musical revue for many years, played to full houses and Winterset was taken on the road. Dirty messed up the business school election and a second one was held. Shortly after the Kelly murder suspect, Frank Brandon, was arrested, Pearson let down his hair in a magazine article and revealed himself as a "ghost writer." While co-eds and their brothers vacationed during the summer, Japan and Russia ended their miniature war over a Siberian border线, Spaniards siested and fought, the Czech crisis fermented, a refugee committee was formed at Evan with representatives of 32 nations, Roosevelt purged Democratic senators—many of whom were rt-nominated, Hughes circled the world scientifically and Corrigan wandered over to Ireland "because of a reversed compass." With Indian Summer and the closing months of the year, came Czechoslovakia's partition and much hullabaloo about the Munich peace pact. Germany retaliated a 17-year-old Jew's shooting of a minor German diplomat in Paris by fining German Jews 1,000,000,000 marks. The U. S. recalled Ambassador Wilson. Britain recognized Ethiopia as being Italy's private property and Daladier crushed the one-day strike protest against his decrees for longer working hours. At year's end, Indians were shouting for Tunisia. In the U.S. Hines was granted a mistrial. A hurricane killed 500 people and destroyed ten million dollars worth of property. The Republicans elected eight more senators and 80 representatives to Congress—which was unexpected—and the Yankees won the World Series—which was expected. Hull signed reciprocal trade agreements with Britain and Canada, Coster-Musica killed himself after arrest for swindling, and Hopkins was hitched to the Secretary of Commerce cabinet post vacated by Roper. In South America, the Lima conference accomplished little except the adoption of an American solidarity declaration. Chancellor Lindley dropped a bombshell into student and administrative circles by resigning, was granted a year's leave of absence, plans to teach later. The Jayhawk grid team fell to the cellar, and Gwinn Henry, replacing Lindsey, will coach next year. Earlier in the semester, the Board of Regents discovered few "reds" on the Campus. The University Band, aided by student donations, traveled to Washington, and Christian Mission week came and went. The M.S.C. pushed plans for a men's dormitory, the Board of Regents revealed plans for a ten-year building program, and Brandon was found guilty of the Kelly murder on a manslaughter charge. The School of Fine Arts acted and blossom Time, and the Dramatics Club, for some reason, presented Lilium. --day Evening Post route from which he clears, he says, approximately 78 cents a week. He told us that he had planned to expand his business in 1939 and add another magazine to his sales list, but that he finally made it happen, and that he wasn't quite sure what the administration was going to do. Politics, diplomacy, wars, business, school do not complete the story for 1938. As a matter of fact, there were even some beer and skittles, and a good deal of plain bread and butter living. Women swept up their hair, classical musicians protested the swinging of Bach, Roosevelt declared he did not breakfast on grilled millionaire and professed a preference for scrambled eggs. Joe Louis knocked out Schmeling in little more than two minutes; and radio anchored the men from Mars in a New Jersey swamp and turned them loose on a hysterical nation-wide audience. Premier Daladier is smarter than we thought. He's going to see Chamberlain before the Anglo-Italian talks, to emphasize that France doesn't want to give up her territory 'or British-Italian appeasement. Then there was the fellow who accepted a part-time WPA job because he'd heard that half a loaf was better than none. It's a popular superstition that a black eat across your path means bad luck. And that seemed to be the case recently in Vancouver, Wash. When a motorist swerved to avoid a black cat, the car plunged over a bridge, and a 15-year-old boy was killed. Of course, bad luck may cause an accident, and good luck may save you from an accident, but we suggest that if you keep your car under complete control at all times, you won't have to depend upon your luck to keep you safe. How long will you and I be lucky?

The basketball squad's holiday trip into Texas was highly successful not only in that Kansas won three games out of four, but in so doing transformed itself from an ordinary outfit into a smooth-fitting mechanism that must be rated high enough to successfully defend its Bie Six title. Cagers Win Three Holiday Games After dropping the first engagement to Texas, 34 to 36, the Jaya-hawkers came back the second night to drub the longhorns, 49 to 35, and then went on to sweep a two-game set from Southern Methodist University, 46 to 40 and 52 to 45. The Kansans put on high-scoring exhibitions during the last three contests to pile up an average of 10 points for each of the four tilt's. Seoring honors were divided up pretty well during the four games, Don Ebbling winding up on top with 40 points, four ahead of George Goaly. Also scoring consistently were Dick Harp with 28 and Bobby Allen and Lyman Corlis with 25 each.

Totals 19118 notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye We are starting the New Year in a puritanic mood, eschewing all mundane affections. This year we are taking our cokes straight, sacrificing the delicious debauchery that a squirt of chocolate gives. Belated Christmas thought: It is more blessed to give than to receive, but not nearly as much fun. Nor as economical. Reading about the President's train to train 20,000 student aviators one might think that the government has gone in for higher education. Walter Winchell glots every time his predictions are verified Lately he has been bragging about the number of news stories which broke first in his column, so maybe it's the right time to ask what happened to the suite at John Hopkins hospital, that according to Winchell the Duke and Dutchess of Windsor hired more than a year ago. At times we come to the conclusion that columning is a woman's job. When a lady columnist is pressed for time, all she needs is a scissors and a ten-cent cook book to complete her assignment. . . . We returned from vacation a little broader than when we went. Among other things we discovered that auction is still being played, that people still listen to Amos and Andy, and that in some communities Joyce Kilmer is considered a poet. After more than three years on the campus, we've yet to see a student sitting on the cement seat west of the law building. We had a thought-provoking discussion about business conditions, and the problem of labor and capital with a bright young business man not long ago. This young pillar of the status quo who enjoys the profits of a Saturday Evening Post route from which he clears, he says, approximately 78 cents a week. He told us that he had planned to expand his business in 1939 and add another magazine to his sales list, but that he finally made it happen, and that he wasn't quite sure what the administration was going to do. Cunningham Sets Mile Record In Sugar Bowl G F L F 4 6 2 2 3 6 4 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 2 0 4 3 2 0 5 3 2 0 5 3 1 0 0 0 1 × 917 Once again the great Glen Cuningham showed his heels to aspirants of his mile supremacy throne Sunday at the Sugar Bowl track carnival. He turned in the fastest mile ever run in the South by reaching off the distance in 418.7 seconds or 2.42 seconds on his record last year. Cunningham's victory was by no means an easy one as Blaine Rideout, North Texas Teachers star, finished just one stride behind. Don Lash, who was recently given the Sullivan award as the outstanding athlete of the past year, finished third. Cunningham's victory wiped out rumors that perhaps the veteran miler would not engage in competition this year. In fact his performance was astounding, as during the past few months his training has been severely handed over to the varsity team. His riding long distances in a car to make addresses at high schools throughout the state of Kansas. With Cunningham's record performance already recorded and with Archie San Romani, former Emporia Teachers star, predicting this to be his best year, track enthusiasts of the nation can look forward toward a renewed rivalry between the fellow Kansasans who have topped the nation's leading milers for the past several years. 1939 Grid Games Scheduled Drake and Colorado Aggies have been added to the 1939 University football schedule. In addition a definite date has been set for the game with George Washington University. Drake will be played at Des Moines Sept. 20 in what probably will be the season opener for the Jayhawks. The two teams last met in 1927, with Kansas the victor, 7 to K.ansas and Drake have played fifteen games, the Jayhawks winning nine, Drake winning five and The Colorado Aggies are scheduled as Kansas' foe on Oct. 14 at Fort Collins, Colo. The teams have played only once before, that game being in 1931 at Lawrence. Kansas won 27 to 6. The game at Lawrence with George Washington has been set for Nov. 18. The two schools have a three year contract for games, the first of which was played at Washington this fall. Gwin Henry, director of athletics and new head coach, is looking for a ninth to round out next year's schedule. Four games are home games while the others are away from home. Although second round matches in the all-University fencing tournament are scheduled and ready to be played tomorrow night, there is still time to enter the first round. Performances should be should do so immediately at the intramural office in Robinson gymnasium. Fencers Open Tournament Tomorrow Night Men -Frakes vs. Price; Frame vs. Meyer; Whitney vs. Gunazin; Hath- away bs. bye. Pairing for second round duels to begin at 7:30 tomorrow night are: Sundstrom vs. Houston; M. Steel vs. Hurtgen; Wedell vs. Schroeter. Lawson To Attend Oberlin School Building Dedication Dean Paul B. Lawson, of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will go to Oberlin tomorrow to attend a dedication of a new school building. He is planning to stop in Norton tomorrow morning to talk at the high school, and attend an alumni luncheon. In the afternoon, Dean Lawson will speak at the Oberlin high school, later attending a Chamber of Commerce banquet where he will speak again. The principal speaker at the dedication is to be F. D. Farrell, president of Kansas State Agricultural College. Former Professors Visit Harold F. Bergstresser, assistant professor of accounting from 1924 to 1927 and Earl Moser, assistant professor of finance, 1928-1928, now director of sales for the state of Victoria of the Atlantic-Union in Melbourne, Australia, were recent visitors on the Campus. Berg-stresser is now vice-president of charge of sales for the Wyoming Gazell Paper company of Reading, Pa. Clyde Smith and his orchestra will play for the mid-week Varsity tonight at the Memorial Union building. Lindley Asks for Increase-- Continued from page 1 include repairs to foundations of Fraser; rebuilding of a weakened wall of the journalism building; refinishing of the law library; a service drive for the student hospital, and others. To meet some of these deficiencies, an increase of 20 per cent in staff numbers and preparation in maintenance repairs. Drastic cuts in departmental maintenance appropriations, especially in 1531-34, have caused postponement of the major part of the program of equipment replacements and additions. Request for $25,000 for each year of the biennium is made for this purpose, since the total needs of first importance is far in excess of this total, especially in some departments in engineering, where the approval of national accrediting agencies is in the balance. Calling attention to the Regent's program for 10 years of building for the state schools, Charcellor Lindley urges completion of Dyche Museum, now out of service for six UNION CAB CO.

He, however, insisted it would be $8 per square foot. I concurred in the argument and we discussed surrealism. After which, and out of a clear sky, he suddenly said that the answer to our little problem was $17.28. And I agreed with him again.
