Julie (my heart's in Hollywood)
Heimbrook laughed hitherly yesterday while sorority sister Izzy Bash was applying the lip rouge to "unsuspecting" Stew Jones in an "itsy bitsy" game. When she discovered that she too had received a dose of war paint in a game which she helped make a permanent Thursday afternoon feature in the Kansas news room, Julie screamed. It turned out that Harry "Scoop" Hill was the instigator of the plot that "Sucker" Jones had held against his old-cross. For a time the incident threatened to produce a good old-fashioned Gamma Phight, but Hill's sturdy legs, which once carried him to safety from itsy-bitsy Dick Martin, again were victorious in a three-lap race around the Journalism building with Heimbrook.
Wednesday night, during the electrical storm, the lights in the vicinity of the Pi Phi house went out, and someone got the idea of using candles. One of the women, not being able to locate a candle-stick in the dark, found a Phi Delt bud vase, and put a lighted candle in it. Because of the "quality of the candles," he was given as a favor at one of the fraternity's parties, it exploded. It is said that if Dick Amerine had been in the position of his picture, his hair would have been severely sung. Besides that, a mirror was shattered, the finish on the wall was ruined, and the entire room was a mess. In fact, it was considered so important that the fire department went to see if Daisy Hoffman had seen it. The group which originally were in the Phi Delt vases, were not in the room at the time of the explosion, it was resorted.
Just the other night, institutions were made about the women who live at 1244 Louisiana, by a resident in the same block. She called the police, saying the women were in distress and made too much noise, and ordering cokes from nearby hangouts. Of course, we know what the com-

FALSE ALARM
By 'Scoop' Hill and 'Droop' Mitchell
By **Scopot** I will. False alarm! It might have been the annual nightshirt parade for all the 500 cars that swarmed on the Campus last night, honked and hooted, when Lawrence firemen gathered at Fraser hall for a fire that was not.
Gamma Phi's or Alpha Chi's. We have been assured that the alarm came from one of these houses. A member of the fire department said that the call came from the Alpha Chi house. Townpeople, pajama-clad students, and firemen came to see the alarm. The crowd after the University whistle signaled the alarm in response to a call from a telephone operator.
Members of Gamma Phi Beta told a Kansan reporter that the alarm was turned in from their house. The Kansan wonders if the call was to bring in late dates or to institute a rally.
The fire department reports that there was no specific alarm given at the time of the report. It merely attended the ambulance and the trucks attended the jamboree.
Engineers Rank High
High Standing of University Graduates Is Attested
High standing of the graduates of the University School of Engineering and Architecture is attested by an article by Prof. F, L. Brown, professor of applied mechanics, appearing in the current issue of the Kansas Engineer.
Professor Brown, who is preparing a roster of University of Kansas engineering graduates, found in a recent issue of "Mechanical Engineering," results of a study of the book of biographies, "Who's Who in Engineerment" by Dr. D. B. Prentice of Roe Polytechnic Institute.
When the 15,000 names of engineers, of the high qualifications required in order to be listed in the directory, are assorted according to their rank, the University of Kansas is found to rank twentieth in a list of 513 institutions.
Professor Brown points out that the number of graduates of eminence may depend in a measure on the age of the institution, or the size $ c^{*} $ its enrollment, as well as upon the nature of its instruction. Sixteen of the 10 institutions, having larger representation than Kansas, have an average enrollment about twice the 600 enrollment at Kansas. The University ranks next to the well-known Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Elect Art Lorenz President of A.I.C.E.
Art Lorenz, e'39, was elected president of the student branch of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers for next fall at the meeting of the society Wednesday. Other officers for the coming semester include Wilhelm Riedl, president; W ya Walker, e'1er, secretary; Richard Arey, e'unel, treasurer; and Paul Clemy, publicity chairman.
A new constitution was adopted at the meeting, as well as new programs for the coming year and an eligibility requirement which will eliminate all members with ten hours of C grade or less. All students are asked to watch for bulletins or notices concerning meetings.
Former Hill Professor Buys Local Confectionary
V. L. Morrison, formerly an instructor in accounting and economies at the University and at present a partner in the Western Auto Support Corporation, will be mann's confectionary and will take possession of the store Tuesday.
Mr. Morrison, a University faculty member from September, 1927 to September, 1930, said the store will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, redefinete hand will be opened on the new management Thursday.

Correspondents' Bureau Gives First Place to John Slocum for 'Best Services'
John Stoch, c'41, writing for the Seneca Courier-Tribune, yesterday won the first place of $15 in the Official Student Correspondents Bureau contest. Second place and $15 went to Clarence Robinson, c'38, writing for the Newton Evening Kansas Republican. Third and a fourth places with prizes of $5 and $2.50 went to Kenneth Lewis, c'39, writing for the Topka Daily Capital, and Harold Nelson, c'39, writing for the Marion Review, respectively. Five prizes of $1 each went to: Nelson Sullivan, the Kansas City Kansan; Barbara Smith, the Waverly Gazette; Larry Blair, Oswego Independence Mall; Benjamin Adams, the City Traveler; and Mary Garrison, Ottawa Herald. The prize for the best single column went to Velma Wilson, who wrote for the Meade Globe News. Her article was on the "Red" investigation, and Mr. Dill said that it was exceptional. Honorable mention went to: Elizabeth Carruth, Nadine Wakefield, Franceline Zentmeyer, Rosemary Blakely and Agnes Mumert.
The names were announced by C. H. Mullen, c49, chairman of the Student Correspondent Bureau. The members of this bureau send colleagues, and the content is judged on the amount and quality of their work.
The bureau attempted this year to cover the entire state, an aim never before accomplished. The result is that it has grown ten times in effectiveness as compared to last year. The idea behind sending the news to the "home town" papers is to let the people know what the students from their town are doing on the Hill, also to give the general news of the Hill.
An example of the good work lone by the bureau came up during her "red scare." The people over the students idea of the students point of view.
WEATHER
Kansas: Possibly local showers and thunderstorms Friday and Friday night on and on Saturday; cooler temperatures on Saturday and in southeast portions Saturday.
Crowded Conditions Bring Need for Chemistry Building
The facade on the front of the Bailey chemical "labo" has a story to tell for itself. The letters, 1900 and 1930, tell that the building is antiquated.
EDITOR's Note: This is one of a series of articles in which we might be excited by the Campus which were available. The order of the articles does not necessarily imply that the computed answer was correct.
"The chemistry building is crowded to the bursting point," said Dr. H. P. Cady, head of the department of chemistry and discoverer of helium in natural gas, in stating that it would need a new chemistry building.
More and more students are entering the department each year. Several times this year students have suffered burns, which might be caused because there is not enough space per person in the laboratories.
A recent investigation presented the acuteness of the department of chemistry situation. The building is built beyond measure, and is not fireproof.
When asked if he preferred a new chemistry building to a new pharmacy building, Doctor Cady suggested that a pharmacy building could be placed in a medical building if and when one is obtained, as much as any other work. He feels that a new chemistry building is a necessity.
Even the section of the building that is devoted to the department of chemical engineering, which was remodeled in 1397, and includes 4,000 square feet of floor space, is overcrowded, said Doctor Cady.
'Sstudent space is what we need,' said Doctor Cady.
While no formal petition for a new building has been put in order Doctor Cady believes that one is much needed.
Newly elected officers of the Young Democrats are: Vern Dean, c'40, president; Keith Bunl, c'1nch, vice-president; Joan Newbill, '133, second vice-president; George O'Meara, th'36; secretary; Randy L. c'39, treasurer; Paul Smart, b'39, public agency; Marvin Funk, gr, head of the speakers bureau; and Sonny Hale, c'40, social chairman.
"America," he said, "will always remain a land where no man is master and everyone is privileged to serve his country."

Many Kansas Towns Featuring Airmail Week
The " pick-up " airmail flight it. Kansas City, by way of Osage City, took off at 2:20 yesterday afternoon. The flight at first postponed until 10 clock this morning, because of weather conditions, was almost two hours behind the schedule.
Pointing to changes brought about recently in our banking system which have made savings secure, and legislation that guaranteed the farmer a reasonable return for his product, Mr Payne added that if he had paid President, he has provided for a social security plan that will have a far reaching effect on present and future generations.
The special cancellation was a given, however, to the special airmail letters all day yesterday. These letters will be sent by train and will be sent by air from there to the nearest city on th airmail route to their destination. "Pick-up" flights were made to 125 Caucasus towns to feature national airlines.
"A dictatorship is sowed with the "seeds of discontent, and the breeding grounds of Fascism and Communism lie among the poor," declared Mr. Payne as he explained the Roosevelt policy of security for Americans. "Mr. Roosevelt realizes that political and economic freedom are the two prime factors of any democracy."
Young Demos Hear Payne Olathe Lawyer Predict: Re-election for Huxman Club Elects Officers
Predicting that Kansas voters will break a precedent by re-electing a Democratic governor next November, Mr. Howard Payne, Olthe attorney and member of the state Board of Regents, addressed a meeting of Young Democrats last night for the coming year were elected.
get a building first," he said, "and we (the department of chemistry) could for a time utilize the vacated space created by the department of biochemistry and the School of Pharmacy.
Equipment in the chemistry building is valuable and if the building should burn down, not only would the state have to replace a building, but equipment that is worth thousands of dollars.
Varsity, Frosh Nines Clash Today
The freshman baseball squad will go out this afternoon in full force against the tutored variety nine in the hope that they can teach their superiors a few fundamentals of the game.
Yearling Team Strong in Every Position; May Start Burge on Mound Against Brass
The first year group has only held practices for a few weeks, but in this time Dean Nesmith, Fresh coach, has uncovered numerous players who have shown smooth performance that they have had a great deal of experience.
Several of the boys have played Ban Johnson law, Ballence Hensley, who will cover center field, comes from Dodge City where it is said that he rates among the very promising ball players of that league. Frank Bukaty, third sacker, has played with the Prince Howard club of Kansas and has played Ed Hensley in have based position, is said to have had experience on the New York University squad before coming to Kansas.
in the recent practice sessions, the Frosh have proved that they have a fast, speedy infield which is just as good if not slightly superior to that of the varsity. The outfield seems to be about on an equal basis with some seasoned players patrolling the positions.
Along with a very good infield, an average outfield, and a fine pitching staff, which will also include Norman Evers and Maurice Belshe, the freshman boys can boast of their power at bat. If Hensley, Bukaty, and Hall display their effectiveness this afternoon, the varsity will have to be up to par in every department.
Completing the lineup for the freshman team will be John Burge, who played with the Lawrence Ban Johnson team last season as a starting pitcher, and Lewis "Red" Thompson calling signals behind the plate. Lanky T. P. Hunter was held at shortstop. He will be at shortstop. In left, will be Edwin Dumler, and at the right field post, Paul Yankee.
On the other hand the freshmen will not find it any setup in clashing with the varsity nine. Earlier this week the Jayhawkers played exceptionally fine bail behind the two-hit pitching of Red Dugan in downing the Kansas State Wildcats 3-1.
As the season closes, the local team seems to be displaying its best brand of ball. With Anderson coming out of his batting slump, and Holcom and Kappelman continuing to bat the ball with the same effect, he should be just about an even representation of quality on both sides.
The starting hurler for the varsity has not been definitely announced, but it will probably be Brass, with others of the stuff filling in for practice for the league Tigers or Issaquille Tigers the first of the week.
Experimental Films Project Abstractions in Light
The second film, "Synchrony No. 2," divorced itself completely from the accompaniment of Wagner's Song to the Eventual which was written by Warner Bros. Doric columns glained in classic severity, a gothic arc of light up-
The game will begin at 3:30, with activity tickets admitting.
The productions were the first of a series created for the purpose of entering fields hitherto unplumbed by the commercial movie organizations, stated Prof. G. M. Beal of the School of Engineering and Architecture, who directed the movies the aid of the University Convention Committee.
"Rhythm in Light," the first selection, was an interpretation of Grieff's "Antira's Dance." A foreword stated that the movie was an artist's conception of the mind's processes while listening to the music. Concrete elements were few and the artist depended upon lights which whirled about, first resolving into definite and then into nebulous shapes.
By Frederic Fleming, c'40
A small audience witnessed a showing of three experimental films in abstractions of light yesterday afternoon in Fraser剧场.
"Parabola," aided much by the ballet suite from Milandh's "La Creation du Monde." was considered by a majority of viewers as the best of the three. Here only abstract forms constructed by Rutherford Boyd, noted sculptor, were employed. The film confined itself almost solely to the geometric parabola and its variations.
Many likened it to submarine life creations of shell-like flowers, and transparent leaves. Ivory towers seemed to rise, sway, and fall evolved into parallel constructions, crashed together and faded into misty nothingness. This piece was enthusiastically praised by Bernard "Poc" Moore, who noted that the trend shown by the movie is awraisesworthy.
It is inevitable that the performance will be compared with the recital given May 3, by Thomas Wil-

Arraign Kelly Slayer
Topeka, May 19—(UP)—Frank Brandon, a Negro, was charged today with first degree manslaughter in the fatal beating of Russell Kelly, University of Kansas student, last fall.
Brandon, who admitted that he had had a fight with a man on the highway east of Topeka, insisted that he was innocent. He told police that the man with whom he fought was not Kelly.
The Negro was formerly a janitor at the Shawnee county courthouse. He had been arrested several times for fighting.

Thirteen Will Be New Summerfields
Winners of Scholarship Awards Are Chosen From Select Group of 33 Students
Prof. Olin Templin, chairman of the Summerfield Scholarship Committee, yesterday announced the names of 13 Kansas high school senior men who will receive that award. These men will enroll in the University next fall. They are:
Maurice Baringer, Arkansas City; William Carson, Longton; Paul Diegel, Atchison; Fred Eberhardt, Salina; George Kettner, Cottonwood Falls; Don Mosser, Summerfield; Clarence Peterson, Larned.
John M. Peterson, Page City (Logan county); Edwin Price, Lawrence; Fred Robertson, Owatowate; Richard Puddle, Dodge City; Keith Spaulding, Wichita (North High School); and Albert Wernert, Norton.
The 13 were selected from the group of 33 who were invited to the University in mid-April, following competitive examinations given throughout the state to more than two hundred candidates.
Summerfield scholarships were established in 1929 by Solen Summerfield, '09. New York manufacturer, whose original plan was to give 10 young men $500 a year each on which to attend the University. The number chosen is no longer fixed, however, and the amount of the scholarship depends upon the student's financial need.
Renewal of the award is made annually if the student has made a satisfactory grade average during the two semesters' work. The scholarships are granted purely upon the results of the final competition test.
Fifty-five University graduates have been Summerfield scholars since the award was instituted. More than fifty are now enrolled here.
Pi Lambda Theta, honorary education soriority, held election of officers and its annual Strawberry Festival last night at the home of Miss Ruth E Lilchen, 1830 Alabama street.

Zoologist of Carnegie Museum Visits Campus Offices
Dr. Stunley Truman Brooks, 28, curator of recent invertebrates at Carnegie museum in Pittsburgh, Pa., visited the Alumni Association office and the department of zoology yesterday. Doctor Brooks has a felony conviction and is a commission from the British government to study zoological life and historical data in Newfoundland, where he has studied previously.
