Students Representatives N am e Landon Vice-President Gr i mes on Executive Committee NUMBER 103 Two University students were honored in the completion of the organization of the collegiate division of the Young Republican club yesterday afternoon in Topoca, where they met with prominent campuses over the state. Peggy Ann Landon, c38, was elected vice-president of the statewide organization and Bain Grimes, c39, president of the University Young Republic club was serving on the executive committee. The meeting yesterday completes the organization plans started during the Kansas Day gathering Jan 28, when the leaders of the college Republican clubs over the state first organize politically interested students. Miss Landon, in charge of all Republican women's activities in the colleges of the state, emphasized one of the aims of the club. "A purpose of this organization is to secure representation for Kansas colleges in the biennial state Young Republican convention." Grimes Explains Purposes O'Riley at Meeting The two officers chosen will represent the University club in the periodical meetings where the leaders of the club meet and plan the programs for the clubs. "I believe this organization will have a very definite value. It should be an aid to our Republican organization at the University, and will be of value to the state Republican organization as a direct means of establishing clubs at other Kansas universities and colleges," Grimes said, explaining the motives and purposes of the organization. Other officers elected are: Herb Stortts, Baker University, president; V. P. Tantz, Wichita University, second vice-president; Ralph Young, Washburn, secretary; C. R. Ferrell, Kansas State, treasurer. Harry O'Riley, b38, and Quentin Brown, b38, past president of the University Young Republican club, were instrumental in the completion of the organization plans yesterday.

We've heard you ask for it too many times. Coleman—the first Owl editor to be rushed by the Pih Phi's—estimates that there are only three people on the Hill who do not want dirt.

The customers who were separated from their five cents usually found that the Theta babies were running around outside or dancing. There is something about a nurse in white that we like better anyway. Continued on page 4 Reception Today Honors Octogenarian, Class of '75 By Frederic Fleming, c'40 Miss Kate Stephens paused, regarding the young man thoughtfully, and smiled as she said, "I have been thinking of contemporary life and my thoughts bring to mind a meeting of mine in the library at Columbia University with James Huhe Canfield. He jokingly exclaimed, I believe you take life seriously. What did you say to you?" He answered me with a prolonged 'No,' and a son of his fingers." With this anecdote, Miss Stephens, the 85-year-old former University professor, who will be honored at a reception this afternoon, dismissed The reception will be held in the men's lounge of the Union building at 3 o'clock, and is in honor of the birthday of Miss Stephens, who was born 85 years ago today in the town of Moravia, New York. She was brought to Kansas at an early age by her ailing father, who was seeking a healthful place in which to settle. The cultured family gave the youthful Kate the best of education at the University. As a major in Greek, she was a graduated in '75 and, receiving a professorship, she Students who plan to apply for scholarships (gift or loan) for 1038-1339 should file their applications before March 1 with Miss Persis Cook, executive secretary of the Committee on Scholarships, room 1, Frank Hall.

Miss Stephens has always shown a “strength of character” and an “emphasis of opinion,” to quote one of her reviewers. To the man of today this really means she was a woman, but now she confine her writings entirely to the classical subjects. She organized and campaigned from 88 until the legislators gave the University an appropriation for Corbin hall. Her famous battles of books are still relevant, and the world because she always won them. Miss Stephens' works are notable for their phrasing, fictive diction, and clear themes. Among the better known of her profile writings are: "Delphic Kansas," 1911; "The Greek Spirit," 1915; "Workfellows on Social Progression," 1915; and "Times at Laurel Town," 1928; "It is a college Miss Stephens that saved Lawrence told truthfully as it is possible."

Thirty-seven teams were entered in the three classes into which competition was this year divided for the first time. The contest lasted three days, the qualifying rounds being debated Friday, the semifinals Saturday morning, and the finals Saturday afternoon. Verne Birney, a member of the victorious Bucklin high school team, is a younger brother of Lawrence Birney, University of Kansas student who is prominent in campus activities. The unicameral system for state legislatures was the subject of debate for all entries. Newton; Mary M. Willis, Richard Oliver, William Staeter, Robert Lair.

Wyandotte Wins Extemp Contest Runners-up in the respective divisions were Allen Connell, Hutchinson; Mary Walker, Oberlin; and Virginia Lusy Snyder, Cullison. The topics discussed by the field of 18 contestants were all concerned with some phase of advertising. The entrants drew their subjects early in the afternoon. Each contestant was allowed one 3-by-5 card for purpose of memoranda and talked between 5 and 7 minutes. H. D. Ingham, director of the extension division, who supervised the debate and speaking contests, to tie the extemoparous speakers that hereafter he hoped to hold the speaking contests and the debate tournament separately. Under the present plan the number of some of them is badly congested, as some of them are competing in both events. “Conservation of gains” as distinguished from conservation of oil or conservation of any other natural resource, was suggested by the director who were addressed briefly at their dinner Friday evening by Cabellier Lindsley 'Shun Dumping Mind.' Says Chancellor Lindley To Visiting Debaters The Chancellor said he was amazed at the improvement in the spoken voice of recent years. Not only has widespread training in music aided in improving the speaking voice of the American, but also his analysis of subjects, and his presentation of ideas in spoken words. "Don't have a 'dumping mind," said the Chancellor, who explained that a "dumping mind" is one that forgets entirely all the information that for a time had appeared important. Some lawyers, complete masters of a subject during a trial, forget all about it soon afterward. "My suggestion to you is that, when the stress of debate is over, you sit down calmly and analyze what you have learned about your subject. Ask yourself what are your definite conviction(s) in this, which you will have conserved ideas that will be a great vain to you as a thinking person." Hooper Released From Hospital Warren Hooper, ed'41, who was injured in a tumbling class last week, was released from the student hospital Friday evening.

Meet New York, Feb. 26—(UP) -Glenn Cunningham, the least tired Kanan, tonight run the second fastest 1500-meter race in history, clipping 1.5 seconds off the indoor world record and making eight hours of a second of the outdoor mark. Cunningham was clocked in 3:48.4 as he raced to victory in the feature event of the sixteenth national A.A.U. indoor track and field championship before a cheering crowd of 15,000 at Madison Square Garden. The former indoor mark of 3.4.99 was set in 1936 by Geneveks of the NY.AA, who was second to the great Glenn tonight. The world outdoor record is 3.47.8 set by Jack Perry in 1962 and the 1966 Olympic games at Berlin. Cunningham's record was the most remarkable of an evening that produced new world markets in the 600-meter run and 65-meter high performance and bookelling the performance by Ben Johnson in the 600-meter sprint. Almost as remarkable as Cunningham's run was the failure of San Romani of Emporia, Kan., to do better. He was. He was nosed out on the last lap. Cunningham never ran better than he did tonight. Had he received a sterner opposition — Venske never was closer to him than 10 yards—on the last lap he might have shattered Lovelock's outdoor mark because he was comparatively young, and that turned the first quarter in 61.6 seconds, the half in 2.04.8, and the third quarter in 3.05.2. March 11 Is Date For Junior Prom The Junior Prom, only formal all-school party of the year, with Mal Hallett and his recording and radio band furnishing the music, will be held the evening of March 11 from 10 until 2 a.m., in the Memorial Union ballroom, instead of March 4 as previously announced. Paul Kihm, varsity dance manager, says of Hallett: "Although he has never played much in the Middle West, Hallett is rated by Metronome and Downbeat critics as one of the foremost dance bands in the country. We're paying more for him than we have for any other band this year, so we can promise an outstanding attraction." Last summer Hellett and his band alternated with Glen Gray at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. He has played for a number of college par- Don. Wood, F'39, explains that authorities on the subject rank Hallett's orchestra among the best in the country. To Discuss Hospital Training Senior women interested in graduate hospital training are invited to meet at the home of Dr. Cora M. Downs this afternoon at 30th Grad. Graduation for a new student will be subject of a discussion, which will be followed by an early supper. Applications for Watkins hall and Miller hall residence scholarships for 1938-1939, or for the renewal of such scholarships now held, must be made by March 1, 1938, with Miss Elizabeth Megua, chairman of general scholarship committee, room 220, Frank Strong hall.

Jayhawks Cinch Tie By Clipping Huskers Kansas Spurts in Second Half To Nose Out Nebraska. 50-47; Victory Assures a Title Draw With Oklahoma; Pralle a n d Kovanda Lead Teams in Points Scored By Elon Torrence, c'39 Kansan Sports Editor Income Tax Bill Delays Senate Action on Red Resolution Until Monday The Jayhawkers rallied in the last five minutes to take the tilt. With Nebraska leading 45-42, Golay was fouled by Parsons Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 26—(Special) The Kansas Jayhawkers assured themselves of at least a tie for the Big Six basketball title tonight by taking a thrilling game from Nebraska's Cornhuskers, 50 to 47, before 7,000 spectators. Kansas was one point behind at the half, 29-30. Fred Pralle, Jayhawker guard, scored 6 field goals and 2 free throws for 14 points and a tie with Kovanda and Amen of Nebraska for shooting honors. The authority for this prediction is Senator Claude Bradney, Columbus, president pro-tem of the senate and Republican floor leader. Discussion of the income tax bill backed the Muir-Carper joint house resolution off the senate calendar again yesterday, but the investigation of state institutions definitely will be acted on tomorrow. it," Senator Bradenay told a Kansan reporter, "your resolution will definitely be brought up Monday." After lengthy debating, the tax bill was passed by a vote of 33 to 3, along with amendments suggested by the committee on taxation. But it was too late then to drive into subversive activities. Clock-room rumors indicated that voting on the proposed "red" investigation will be close, with heated debate from both sides. Senator Richard Sanders was to lead the opposition along with Senator Don Allen, Valley Falls. Senators Warren of Fort Scott and Skovgard of Washington are expected to present arguments in favor of the resolution, as they are calling for a more serious resolution which is also on the calendar for general order. Just how strongly Senator Warren favors such an investigation is not known, however, for his bill calls for a probe only of appropriations and expenditures for state schools. The senate measure, calling for a $15,000 appropriation as compared to $7,500 proposed by the house, may not come up in the Senate during the special session adamantive debate on the measure for Tuesday night, which would leave a two-day calendar that probably will not include the Warren-Skogvard resolution. The senate convenes for a short session tomorrow morning, at which time the investigation may be discussed, although it is probable that the measure will not be aired until afternoon. Will Hold Tryouts For 'Winterset' Tomorrow Froel. Allen Crafton, of the department of speech and dramatic art, has stated that there is still time to try out for parts in the play "Winterst" as the cast has not yet been announced. Tryouts for both "Winterst" and the Dramatic Club will begin at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Y.M.C.A. Representatives Speak at Farmers' Meeting As part of a program of "traveling forums," three representatives of the University Y.M.C.A. spoke to students meeting in Olive Lake night. The subject of the forum was the new farm bill or Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1838. Gorges Thomas, c30, discussed the provisions of the act, with especial reference to the wheat farmer. Affirmative and negative sides of the crop control provisions were presented, with Richard MacCam c'40, upholding them, and Virgil Mitchell, CB25. Mitchell was a discussion was held afterward. Fresh meals were served, in the form of some thirty home-made pies. John L. Hunt, Y.M.C.A. secretary acted as chairman of the meeting.

Schmidt Opens Scoring Ebaugh added a gift throw on Harp's personal to make the score 46-44 in favor of Nebraska. Then Harp swished a long shot through the basket and Golay made good on another long one from side court. Amen scored a free throw, at Ebbing's expense to whittle the lead to a single point with only a minute to play. Not satisfied with this slim margin, and the decision proved fruitful when Golay put the game on ice by making the score 50 to 47, when he same batsman in both teams played good ball and during the first half neither team would miss the basket.

Amen then put the Huskers ahead with a field goal and Reid tied the game up again at 4-all. Parsons made another goal and Amen and Dohrmann sank free throws when fouled by Schmidt and Ebling to give Nebraska the lead again. Harp and Ebling came back with baskets to even the score again at 8-all with only 4½ minutes of the game gone. Parsons scored a basket for the Cornhuskers and Ebling scored one for Kansas to put the game at a tie again. Prainle then made two baskets and Harp a free throw to give the Jayhawks a five-point lead, but Kovanda, Parsons and Doelmann sank field goals in rapid succession to make the score 16-15, Nebraska. Huskers Lead at Half Huskers Lead at Half Praille drove in for another basket and was fouled by Ehaugh on the try. Praille also made good his free kick. Kovanna made a basket to even the score once again, this time at 13-all. Reid made good on a goal for Kansas and Parsons put another through the hoop for Nebraska. Pralle and Ebling came through for the Jayhawkers but the score was tied again at 24-all when Amen made a couple of his shots good. Schmidt was fouled by Parsons and tallied on his free throw. Then Parsons, Kovanda and Werner hit the basket for Nebraska while Harp hit again for Kansas to give the home team a 30-27 lead. With only a few seconds remaining in the game, he did not swaited through the net as the half ended. The score at this point was 30-29. Nebraska. Harp opened the second half score by tipping in a basket. Nebraska staged a scoring spree that t gave them a 36-31 lead.

Missouri Here Thursday Golay, Praille, Schmidt, and Ebling made good on tries at the hoop, which, added to Praille's free throw, gave the Jayhawkers a 40 to 36 lead. Kovanda put two through the basket and Amen further added to the Husker cause by duplicating the foot as well as adding an extra step. It was at this point of the game that the Jayhawkers stared their rally. Both Oklahoma and Kansas have yet to play Missouri. The Sooners Congrated on page 4
