Start Action To Elect New Chancellor
- Committee Representatives of Cabinet and Senate to be Announced Monday
Machinery started in motion to select a new Chancellor for the University to succeed Chancellor E. H. Lindley, whose resignation becomes effective June 30, when the University Senate yesterday afternoon selected a dozen faculty members to work with the Board of Regents in locating a new administrative head.
The University Senaic, composed of deans, professors and associate professors, was called into special session by Chancellor Lindley. He transmitted the request of the Board of Regents who desired a faculty committee to work with the regents' special committee, of which Dr. H. L. Snyder of Winfield is chairman, in choosing a new Chancellor.
The Senate authorized its advisory committee to select a faculty group of 12 members to work with the Regents' special committee. Three of the faculty group will be members of the Chancellor's Cabinet which meets Monday to choose them when the entire personnel of the faculty committee will be announced.
Chancellor Lindley in transmitting the Regents' request to the Senate made clear that he intended to have no part in the selection of his successor. He said further that after June 1 he was "laying down administrative duties 100 per cent" and that members of the faculty were not given any special problems after that time with the new Chancellor."
"Of course," he continued, "I shall be glad to talk with any of you about fishing, or hunting or what happens in the University admissions problems."
He assured the Senate, however,
that he would be willing to advise
the new Chancellor on any Uni-
ties he could find if such advice was
desired saying:
"I the new head of the institution desires information that I may have at my disposal, I shall be most happy to assist him, but that is as far as I intend to go, once I have appreciated my administrative duties."

Crusading Shinster Wins New Mirrors For Union Building
The "little boys," who were the brain-children of Shuster Robertson, admit that they are firm believers in Santa Claus today—they were given the mirrors which they so badly needed.
The mysterious story of the "missing mirrors" was revealed after some questioning and goes something like this:
One Sunday morning following a football game last year, the original large and luxurious mirror was found torn from its moorings on the wall. There followed the purchase and installation of smaller and less expensive mirrors, but alas, they too disappeared. Then the came walls of Robertson's "little boys," with the result that the junior went into action with a hammer, some tasks, and the mirrors.

Jayhawkers Lose Doubleheader
★ Bow to Oklahoma A. and M. 25 to 19 in Game Last Night At Stillwater As Both Teams Play Raggedy; Kansas Displays Poor Eye for the Basket; Connect only 6 out of 65 Times.
Last night's game, played before a crowd of 5,000 was contestted bitterly most of the way and play was ragged at times. The scoring was opened by Reid who made a free throw. Engleman followed with a field goal, but the Angies soon overcame this lead and never were headed, although the score was tied several times.
With Oklahoma A. & M. leading 10 to 9 in the first half Coriis made a free throw to tie the score at 10 and 10 Slade, high point man for the Cowboys, came through with a long shot and Pate slipped in for a shot under the goal. This ended the scoring for the first half, with the reading Oklahoma A. and M. 14, Kansas 10.
In the second half the score was tied at 17 to 17 on a free throw by Bob Allen. Linn then put the Ax-3 before him and scored with a made tip-in to the score at 19
had counted only five. Evidence that they were getting plenty of shots lies in the fact that the Jayhawks shot 65 times tonight. Yet only six of those 65 shots were good.

Stillwater, Okla., Dec. 10.-The Kansas Jayhawker basketball team bowed twice to the Cowboys of Oklahoma A. and M. over the weekend, losing 25 to 19 tonight and 21 to 15 last night. The games were the first to be played in the new $500,000 field house at Stillwater.

Renick broke the tie and Slade scored again, which combined with several free throws, was the winning margin. Kansas battled to the end. Coach Allen using a total of eleven players, but the Jayhawkers were unable to get the ball to go to Washington even a "medium warm" night yet this season as far as shooting is concerned.
Okkalaan A. M, on the other hand, had a "not" man last night in Slade, junior forward. Slade made him an ace. They were from far out on the court.

Will Put Displays In Union Building
- Music Appreciation Hour To Be Included In New Plans of Committee
Many new ideas were brought back by the delegates who attended the Memorial Union convention at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis last week, where plans for Union building activities were presented by 'representatives from 33 universities.
Soon after the Christmas vacation, one of these plans will be put into effect in the Memorial Union building on this Campus. Outstanding exhibits from the Spooner-Thayer and Dyche museums, and the School of Fine Arts will be placed on display. These will be displayed in a way that student who might never trouble to go to these places will have a chance to see most of what they contain.
A music appreciation hour is planned for the near future. This feature has been very successful at the University of Minnesota, where more than a thousand students attend every afternoon. The Universities of Iown, Cornell, Purdue, Brown, and Illinois maintain lending libraries of phonograph records.
Another plan which will be attempted is the setting up of a personnel department. This department will hand out questionnaires to all new students. These questionnaires, when filled out, will indicate what the student is interested in and how much of the building will attempt to include most of these interests in the year's program.
The aim of the Memorial Union building management in making these plans for the future is to co-ordinate student activities in the building.
University representatives who attended the convention were: Leo Johnstone, c40; Walter McCrosky, c40; Porter Rilchie, c32; Mary Wagner, c19; and Miss Hermine Zipple, director and Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union building.
Vocal and Instrumental Music In Recital
A student recital was given Thursday afternoon at 3:30 in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
Following is the program: vocal solo, "O Del Mio Dole Ardor" (Gluck), by Virginia Ginca; c³9; piano solo, "Nocturne" (Scriabin, Nina Griffith, fa39; "Lullaby" (Cyril Scott), song by Barbara Edmonda, c40; "Prelude, Opus 34" (Johannes Hülsen), melody mini on the piano; two vocal selections "When I am Lai in Earth" (Henry Percell) and "Canterbury Fair" (Kenneth Leslie-Smith), by Edmonda Mercer, fa39; and a violin solo, "Hungarian Airs," played by George Lepor, e39.
