The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
NUMBER 149
Lawyer's Play Day Is Monday
There have been School of Business Days, Fine Arts Days, Engineering Days and just plain daze therefore, the announcement that the School of Law will have a "day Monday is not at all startling.
Youthful Barristers May Not Go To Classes, Judge Bratton Is Main Speaker
Classes are scheduled to be run off as usual but numerous rumors state that they will meet for only 10 minutes. Other rumors point to no classes at all. Last year all classes were "cut" and the young lawyers stayed out in their "nest" on the front steps of Green hall.
Starting at 2 p.m. will be baseball games. The freshman lawyers under the direction of Lee Brennissen, will challenge the sophomore class, which is to be managed by Harold Cook or Steve Houston and Burton Simmons. The senior Van Cleve, will challenge a team composed of faculty members and special students. The faculty team at present has not been able to elect a manager so may have to forfeit its game. The winners of both games will play for the Law School in partnership at the close of the afternoon.
It is reported that seniors will carry canes and will follow some sort of a formal dress attire.
The festivities of the day will con-
with the annual Law School dinner to be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union ballroom. The speaker of the evening will be Judge Sam G. Bratton of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, Albuquerque, N. M., and Quentin Brown, president of the senior class, will be tuastmaster. Honored guests of the evening include Governor Ann Russell and members of the state supreme court, Gov. Walter A. Huxman, former governor, Alfred M. Landon, and Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
There will be musical selections by the Law School quartet under the direction of Gene Haughey and composed of Preston Anderson, Omer Voss, Done Foss, and Eugene Pirtite. It is also being rumored that a humorous sketch is being prepared. At present the sketch is all a mystery but it is claimed that it will be unique and different.
Lawyers and judges who are alumni of the school have been extended invitations and all lawyers are invited to attend. They also are cordially invited to attend.
Tickets for the dinner may be purchased from members of the committee in charge of the arrangement or from the School of Law office.
on the SHIN by Mitchell and Wire
The Kanan Board is holding its annual whirl-bang tonight, with a dinner and entertainment thrown in for good measure. Marco Morrow of the Capper Publications will light the main speaker. The high light of the evening is the "Pee-Wow Kanan" which she poured out at the feed. She petrusches and bad licks of the year are aired in the little paper, with fun for all. Even the professors get to do a couple of squirms or so.
POME
A ball, a hoop, and a gold fish bowl. The juggler flung into the air. The gold-fish bowl, the hoop, and

the bar
Went flying around up there.
The juggler thot't it awfully strange
the audience thot't it droll.
For after a while came back to him
A fash-ball, gold hoop, and bow.
—Mary Jane Brice.
The color organ recital Tuesday night was a little disappointing to us because the man wouldn't let us because the inmands of his organ. He was very particular about who peeked into his play house. In fact, he even chased away the workmen who helped him set up the thing before he opened up his keyboards, which were in two trunks. The colors on the screen were, to us, preton but monotone. We preferred one of these ten-cent tubes in front of broken glass. Sev-

Independents Plan Drive
University Group Discusses Program for Next Year
Plans for organizing the independent students into groups which will be interested in social, intramura and scholastic activities on the Hill were discussed in the meeting of the Independent Student Association last night.
Max Sims, ed39, one of the eight students who attended the national convention of the association at Norman last week, presented the plan which has been used successfully there in organizing the industry that has destined to follow a similar plan of organization on this Campus.
The city will be divided into districts, each under the leadership of a student organizer who will contact every independent student at the beginning of the school year. The organizers and their assistants work with students in all the activities enjoyed by students of organized houses.
Two days of Independent activities will be planned to try to make the new and old independent students feel more a part of the University.
Susan Maloney, c'39, women's president of the Independent Student Association, presided at the meeting. Henry Werner, dean of men, presented several suggestions for organizing.
Application blanks for those interested in working as organizers or assistants were passed out. There will be copies of these application sheets at the main desk of the Union building. Anyone who was not at the meeting and are interested in working with this group is urged to fill out one of these sheets and leave it at the desk.
Alumni Election Plans Completed

Nominee for vice-president is Kenneth S. "Boots" Adams, fs, who was elected president of the Phillips Petroleum company last week. Vance H. Day, 12, representation of motor car manufacturers, is a nominee for the position of director. Submitted for the other directorship is the name of Claudie E. Chaffaf, 127, who is now an attorney in Hutchinson, and assisted Governor Huxman in his campaign.

"The Jayawk" ticket is headed by Clarence L. "Red" Burt, 90, who is in the construction business at Hutchinson.
Dolph Simons a Candidate
Jayhawker Hopes Receive Setback
Track Team Loses Foy,
Depended Upon To Win
Both Sprints; Aggies
May Upset Huskers
On the eve of the annual Kansas
On the State, and Nebraska triangular
track track another blow bites the
Jayhawkers. Lyle Foy, Kansas
sprinter picked to grab both dashes,
was called to Kansas City yesterday
because she was undergone and has undergone a serious brain operation.
Her condition is critical.
Last year at Manhattan, Nebraska emerged the winner with Kansas and Kansas State trailing in that order. This time the Husker, who have six of the eight indoor champions on their roster, are favored again, but will receive stiff competition in the Kansas State, either of whom may upset the dope cart and pull through for victory.
Only by a stroke of fortune will he be on hand to aid the Jayhawk cinderdem. Foy has beaten the best sprinters that the Huskers and Wildcats have to offer and was picked first in both races. Dawson of Nebraska, a strong 220 man, might have pressed him in the longer dashed.
Kansas State, according to Coach Hargiss, also has a good chance of winning the meet. The Wildcats are strong in the field events and the distances. Hackney of the State College will play Relays. Mitchell, Big Six two-mile-champ, will be picked as the probable winner in his event.
The Cornbushers, who conquered the Kannas by only a few points in their dual meet preceding the Kansas Relays, will have a great chance to win in the field events, particularly in the high jump and the broad jump.
If Foy returns for the meet Kansas will have the inside track for firsts in the short running events. Bird is the likely winner in the pole vault and Klamn, if he is in top shape, is expected to have little trouble in winning the mile run. Bird is not outright out in which the dayhawkers should finish in the lead. The Kansas quartet easily defeated Nebraska, but the Wildcats may give them some trouble.
SENIORS
The meet will be scored three ways. In addition to scoring it as a triangular meet between Kansas Kansas State and Nebraska, it will be scored as dual meets between Kansas Kansas State, Kansas State, and Nebraska.
Anyone interested is invited to come.
Five Kansas men will make their final home appearance and with this incentive will be trying hard to help their teammates come through with a victory before a home crowd.
Several records may be broken in favorable weather conditions prevail and the track remains fast. The tracks are still visible from rates in this section of the country.
