Paleontologist Gives Lecture On Dinosaurs Dr. Brown Illustrates Talk With Slides and Motion Pictures; H has Hunted Over World
Z229
Doctor Brown has made expeditions to Asia, Europe, South America, and throughout southern Canada and the western part of the United States. According to the lecturer, North America has more dinosaur remains than any of the other countries he has visited.
The majority of the specimens secured for the American Museum of Natural History have been obtained from Utah, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming. Other countries, however, also have contributed to this collection, evidenced of diurnal eggs Doctor Brown has found has been in Mongolia.
"The records we have obtained about dinosaurs, show the reptiles lived some 150 or 200 million years ago and became extinct at the end of the cretaceous period, which dates from 60 million years." Doctor Brown said.
Has Made Many Expeditions
A large crowd braved a dizziness rain last night to attend an illustrated lecture presented by Dr. Barrum Brown in Hoch auditorium. Doctor Brown, who is an outstanding international paleontologist, was introduced by Chancellor E. H. Lindeh. His subject was "The Mammals Presented with illustrative pictures and slides to illustrate his speech.
Doctor Brown, a graduate of the University in 1897, is curator of the American Museum of Natural History. He is to have an article in a forthcoming issue of the Natural History magazine.
By Lee Powell, c'40
He explained that some of the creatures were of immense proportions, some known to have been nearly a hundred feet long. The dinosaur reached its greatest size in the second period or jurassic. They were usually creatures with long necks, long tails and short legs. It is possible that the brain of the dinosaur often weighed less than an ounce.
Attained Giant Size
The cretaceous period saw the dinosaur species as a much smaller animal, with the exception of the tyrannosaurus, or the flesh eater.
Doctor Brown drew his lecture to a close with the presentation of a reel of film taken from the "Lost World."

Hugh Samson, Secretary.
Department of English.
Paris, March 9. — (UP) –Premier Camille Chaucepte announced tonight at Matiagn palace that he and his 40-day-old government will resign tomorrow in favor of a cabinet turning to the right for support. It was reported in the corridors of Parliament that Chaucepte's decision to open the way for a wider coalition government that will completely banish the Communists from its majority, was dictated by a desire to sell part of France's new $477,567,000 loans to arm Grant.
According to these reports, as ye unconfirmed, Prime Minister Neville Chamberland of Britain refused to help France market her bit more than was demanded was installed, based on a majority excluding the Communists.
Chautemps, who had headed two, Popular Front cabinets and plunged from one crisis into another, said his entire cabinet would resign after he appears before the chamber of deputies at 9:30 a.m. (5:30 a.m. C.S.T.)
He will explain the crisis provoked by revolt among his Communist and Socialist followers of the Populist Front against his demands for power rule by decree in coping with the nation's financial and social difficulties.

Tommy Dorsey's
Doon and Dee Draws
Don't Dictum
This was the dictum of Leo Fitzpatrick, station manager, whose engineer "pulled the plug" during a broadcast by Tommy Dorsey, whose band is considered one of the hotest of the hot.
"In't im fogley to oppose swing music." Flippatrick explained, "but there's plenty of music for them to swing without desecrating old ballads that our mothers used to sine."
Dorsay was cut off the air while he and his band were "comin' through the rye" in a dither of swing on a program broadcast from Springfield, Ohio. Listeners were left suddenly with their left toes raised in an ecstatic caper. A moment of silence, a voice announced in a most serious tone that "something more refined" would be offered.
Fushing this along are the Camera Club, the journalism department's lectures on Newspaper Photography, and the unaffiliated, out-on-their-bike students. The Campus wontly snapping "pix" of any and all unposed subjects.

Feuermann
To Play Cello
Noted Austrian Artist
Is Presented in Fifth
Number of Series
Emanuel Foumeram, one of the most remarkable cellists of the age, will be presented next Monday, March 14, at 8.20 p.m., in a concert in Hoch auditorium. The appearance will be the great Austrian cellist's first in this part of the country. Critics all over the United States are extravagant in their praise of him.
Feuermann made his debut, when only 11 years old, with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Felix Weingartner. He had studied first with his father, a gifted cellist, and later with Julius Klengel.
When only 16, he was called to a professorship at the Conservatory of Music in Cologne. From there he went to head the cello department of the famous Berlin Hochschuler fur Musik, a post he held until three years ago when he became a political exile.
Three years ago Feuermann was invited to make his New York debut as guest artist with the New York Philharmonic Symphony under Bruno Walter. This appearance, together with his ensuing recitals, did well and immediately cross a widespread demand for concerts throughout the country. His subsequent tours have been heavily booked.
Critics report Mr. Feuermann as "playing the cello like a great violinist." He has an amazing technique, clean and substantial, which can place every resource of the instrument at his command. University musicians report him to be of a romantically impassionate temperament, with a smooth tone sense and ability for inspired interpretations. He has been compared to the great Casals.
In addition to having a vast concert following in Europe, the artist is a favorite solo performer among the great orchestral conductors on his tour. He has often sequently with all of the major symphony orchestras there.
The Lawrence concert next Monday will be the fifth in the University concert series.
Election Tomorrow
For Y.W. Advisory Board
The Y.W. Advisory Board will meet at 7:30 tomorrow at Henley house. New members will be elected to the board and a candidate will be selected. The advisory board will be selected. Miss Rosemary Ketcham, professor of design, will preside.
W. S.G.A. constitution will be presented to the voters in the election. They are:
2. To make the office of treasurer a two-year position.
1. To allow a Miller hall representative a non- voting seat on the council.
3. To change the scholastic requirement for the office of council secretary from three semesters to 've semesters.
It is a unique system by which University women choose their officers. W.S.G.A. regulations prohibit electioneering, therefore there is no active campaigning as in the men's election. Candidates were introduced at an election tea yesterday, but aside from that there is supposedly no contact between voters and prospective officers.
Frowning upon the party system, which for more than 25 years has formed the basis for choosing men's officers, W.S.G.A. forms its ticket in a mass meeting of women. This year a new feature was injected into the procedure in the form of a committee received applications and checked the eligibility of the prospective candidates.
Officers to be chosen are: president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the council, representatives from the College and the School of Fine Arts, a point system for each of the three upper classes.
Women choose only the vice-president and secretary for next year's classes. The president, treasurer and two dance managers are elected in the men's voting near the end of the semester.
Members of the nominating committee for the election were: Marjorie Harbaugh, c38 and Doris Scherman, c38, representing the mortar board, senior women's honor society; Doria Stockwell, c38. W.S. G.A. president; Grace Valentine, c38, council member; and Jane Roberts, c38, chosen from the student body at large.
Thomas Mann Talks Next Week
Thomas Mann, Nobel prize winner, once described in the New York Times as the "greatest living man of letters," will speak in Kansas City March 14 at the Music Hall auditorium. It is his first American lecture tour, and this appearance will be one of twelve throughout the country.
Doctor Mann's topic, "The Coming Victory of Democracy," is particularly interesting in view of the fact that a tale from Germany, his native land,
Unable to suppress his views on Nazi domination, he has been deprived of property and citizenship. He now lives in Switzerland.
Recognized as one of the foremost protagonists of democracy in Europe, especially "in relation to culture," Doctor Mann has also written a number of important novels, including "Buddendrobes," "The Magic Mountain," and recently, "Joseph in Egypt."
The department of English has announced that students may secure tickets for the speech at a reduced price. The admission price of $1 is reduced to 75 cents for those who buy their tickets on the Campus. They are for sale in room 203, Fraser hall. This is by special permission of Max Bretton, director of the Center in Kansas City.
