ON THE SHIN

ANNE MILLER went to Saturday's game with Jack Townsend. So carried away with excitement was Jack that he pounded and so forth upon him, and the game ran from the game looking as though she had been playing in the Kansas line.
SELDMO DOES a columnist admit his stuff is fiction. But in Sunday's edition there appeared a Herman Addington story. Its stirring title, its intriguing plot, and its brilliant descriptions resulted from Ye Shinster's collaboration with a member of the faculty. A solemn promise is hereby given that you will not be annoyed by any more such stories.
BOB PEARSON, ex-ed of the JAYHawk, authors a story of high-geared romance in the January issue of College Humor under his real name—Robert Greenlees Pearson. Oldsters will remember that last spring Bob was accused of writing stuff under other people's

On To Washington
One of the most gratifying signs that I have ever seen is this theremometer boiling over the top. This was made possible only by the physical effort that every organization on the Hill gave to the cause. I want to take this opportunity to thank sincerely everyone one for the fine way that they supported this drive. This drive has been so successful that anti-agitated and we are deeply grateful to everyone who made it possible.

Erica Moriin, violinist, will open the University Concert Course series at 8:20 p.m. tonight in Hoch auditorium. Activity tickets will admit students, and single admission tickets are $2.00, $1.50, and $1.00.
Erica Morni, who has been pronounced by leading critics to be the greatest woman violinist now appearing before the public, is a Viennese by birth. Her father, Oscar Morni, was a professor of music and
The M. S. C. has many functions. It selects the student directory and variety dance managers. It regulates Hill parking rules.

the head of a conservatory in Vienna. He was descended from an Italian family of professional musicians, one of whom settled the Alps and settled in Austria.

Campus journalists have written numerous articles debunking the efforts of the council, and many students have come to picture members of this body as political squabblers who watters rather than sincere lectorators.
The Radio Speech class presented a half hour radio version of "Everyman," a sixteenth century English morality play, last evening over station KFKU as the second of a series of historic dramas.
Medicine Humane Hertzler Says
Presented in the vigorous manner of its era under the direction of Rolla Nuckles, instructor in the department of speech and dramatic art, the play demonstrated the close relation between the church and drama existing before the Elizabeth period.
Radio Class Broadcasts Second Historic Drama
Arthur E. Hertzler, M.D., founder of the Hertzler clinic at Halstead and author of "Horse and Buggy Doctor", spoke last night before an audience which overflowed Frank Strong auditorium. Dr. Hertzler, professor of surgery in the School of Medicine, talked on "The Essentials of a Medical Education."
University freshmen will go to the polls tomorrow to select the nom who will represent them in student government.
Dr. Hertzler said he believed medicine was the most humane profession. In case of war, doctors will take a patient as well as for their own soldiers.
"Medicine can only be learned by studying patients," he declared. "Instead of requiring the student to take three years of preparatory training, he should be taken out of high school and placed immediately in the medical school for a period of six or seven years." The student would spend time on a vast number of things which are useless to the profession?
The difficulty of the pre-medic education of today is that the students get fundamental sciences and then believe they can discard the information unless they unlearn the student keeps on studying a course, it is not worth much.
To vote intelligently for officers the freshmen must know the effect their ballot will have—this year and next year, they must be the University Council Is Important
Campus Parties To Induct Frosh Into Hill Government
Two from the "dinky-cap" class will be chosen as representatives on the Men's Student Council, and, though they will largely follow the same pattern of leadership, duty is to cast their votes in the best interests of the freshman group.
The next production to be presented over the air will be Molere's "A Doctor in Spite of Himself."
Concluding, Dr. Hertzler said the only way to practice medicine is to practice medicine. The doctor must keep up his interest in his profess-

work is small. Previously, only the freshman president was allowed a vote on the men's council; the two members are an innovation this year.
The Pachacamac Society now has a 10-8 majority in the council, excluding the Pachacamac president of the group, Blaine Grimes, c.39, who votes only in the case of a tie. It is also unclear whether League this fall elects both of its candidates to the offices of representative, the council will be split 10-9.
Pachacamacs Hold Majority
10; but Grimes will be able to cast the deciding vote in favor of Fachaemea. Consequently the Rising Sun party will still retain power—provided that an unexpected party riff does not disturb its peace.
In the freshman election of last year, the P. S. P. G. Leaguers won the office of president—by a bare majority of four votes (172-168) and strengthened the then held in the M. S. C. The previous election had narrowly gone to Pacchacamane. But with the loss of student council caused the balance of power to shift and P. S. P. L. surged forward 17-10.
The Pacachaean Society was originated with the beginning of the two-party system at the University in 1912. During its 26 consecutive years of activity it has been opposed by a number of national groups; these were: Black Mask (1921-26), Independent (1926-30), and the Oread-Jayhawk coalition (1931-35).
Early in the year 1935 the P.S.L.G. organized. Since its nasal day, it has been victorious in the 1935 major and the 1937 freshman election.
This year, the two parties oppose one another once more. The two dance managers and the council representatives will be chosen by proportional representation—a system of voting introduced last spring. The other offices will be chosen by straight voting.
*Thermometer Overflows to $929.42 Mark; 103 Leave at 5 O'clock This Morning on Lengthy Journey; Stay Tonight at Evanston, Ill., To Play Concert
With the thermometer overflowing at $293.42, the campaign for the completion of a fund to send the University band to Washington was completed last night. The original drive was for $800 but when it was found out yesterday that the buesss would cost $200 more than was originally estimated, Dean D. M. Swarthout came to the rescue with a $100 contribution from the Concert Course fund.
This morning at 5 o'clock the band, 97 strong, left for Washington, D.C., in three large busses. They will arrive in Evansville, Ind., tonight at 6 o'clock where they play a concert and spend the night.
Hey! Right This Way Folks
Blossom Time Promises Every Attraction But Trained Seal
"There is everything in this show but a trained seal," said Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins, director, in describing the operetta "Blossom Time" that is to be given Monday at 8:20 p.m. in Hoch auditorium.
Nearly a hundred persons are at work on the production and it will be the most elaborate performance of its kind ever given at the University. Fifteen years have passed since a Hill organization has attempted a musical play of this magnitude.
The show will appear with professional artists, supported by a student cast, taking the leading parts. Professor Wilkins and Marie Wilkins, who sang leading roles with the Schubert Brothers show in New York, will portray the handsome Franz Scholler and the charming Mizi.
Jack Laffer, c'39, takes the part of Franz Schubert, famous nineteenth century composer. Laffer songs Schubert's "Serenade" and "Song of Love." Maxine Pendleton, c'41, sounds and gives a graceful ballet dance. Other leading parts in the operetta will be taken by students selected from the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. A selected group from the University Symphony Orchestra will also take part.
"Blossom Time" is built around a fascinating love trianglet. The trouble begins when Mitzi mistakes Schubert for Schober. The similarity of names is fatal in the play. Included in this musical show is comedy, tragedy, and almost anything that a theater so-we would desire.
Bellahran, played by Arlaine Goodjohn, fa'39, is in love with Franz Schober. When she is led to believe that Schober loves Mitzi, she tells Mitzi that a man whose initials are "F. S." is a secondnel. Mitzi gets the wrong impression of Franz Schu-bert whose initials are also "F. S."
Schubert is in love with the beautiful Mitzi, but he cannot make an impression, and his best friend, Fraro Schober, becomes Mitzis's suitor. The resulting sympathetic complications set in, both in Schubert and in the concerto.
Activity tickets will admit and students wishing to get reserved seats may do so by calling at the office of the School of Fine Arts.
Dr. Ise Will Speak To Freshman Commission
Dr. John Ise will speak on "Am I get an Education?" at the Freshman commission meeting of the Y.M.C.A. tomorrow afternoon announced Kettner, vice-president of the Freshman Council, yesterday.
The meeting will be held in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building at 4:30. All freshman men are invited to attend. Bill Miller, president of the Freshman Council will preside.
Replige Removed to Kansas City Max Replige has been removed from Watkins Memorial Hospital to Kansas City where he will receive treatment for the fractured jaw the Huskers left on him. He was taken over yesterday and his stay will be indefinite.
Besides the band members and Director Wiley those who made the trip are C. F. M-Creight of the Bur-sar's office; Kenneth Postwethite, secretary; Marvin Goebel, publisher of the University Daily Kansan; Bill Farmer, chairman of the committee soliciting for the drive; Blaine Grines, president of the M. S. C.; Dick Martin, highest ranking solicitor in the drive; Dick Rice, and Mrs. Owen Carl, chaperone.
Professor Wiley made the following statement last night following the completion of the drive:
"The band is deeply grateful to the faculty and to the student body and to friends downtown who have voluntarily contributed to the success of our campaign. It is particularly grateful to the following student organizations for their splendid cooperation:
"Men's Student Council, WGSA, KuKu's, Jay Jane, Fraternities and Sororites, University Concert Course, University Daily Kansan, Independent Students, Department of Dramatic Art, Orchestra, Glee Clubs, Women's Dormitories. Particularly to those individual students who have worked so hard on the various committees in pushing the campaign through to the finish."

Myra E. Hull Contributes Articles to Quarterly
MyrA E. Hull, author, and instructor in English, has contributed two articles to the Kansas State Historical Society Quarterly this year.
