Z229 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV NUMBER 84 Regents Name Two Buildings For Teachers Administration Changed To Frank Strong Hall And Chemistry to E. H. S. Bailey Chemistry Lab. Dr. Frank Strong and Dr. Edward H. S. Bailey, two former members of the University faculty, were honored recently by the Kansas Board of regents when that body officially named two Campus buildings after them. Henceforth the administration building will be known as "Frank Strong hall" and the chemistry "barn" will be designated as the E. H. S. Bailey chemical laboratories." Dr. Frank Strong, who came to the University in 1902, was the sixth Chancellor. He served in this capacity from 1902 until 1920, when he retired and became professor of constitutional law, a position he held until his death in August, 1934. A native of Venice, N.Y., he received his three degrees from Yale practiced law in Kansas City for several years, and then served as superintendent of schools at St Joseph, Mo., and at Lincoln, Neb. He came to the University when he was appointed president in 1900. Mrs. Strong is still a resident of Lawrence. Taught in Leipzig Dr. Edward Henry Summerfield Bailey came to the faculty in 1883, 10 years after he received his bachelor of philosophy degree from Yale. In the interim he had taught for seven years in Leipzig, Germany. He retired from active service in 1921 and died June 1, 1933. It was largely through his influence that Dr. Robert Duncan was brought here to establish the firs course in industrial chemistry ever brought here to establish the first university institution of higher learning. ours "Rock Chick JawkY.

He was a charter member of Sigma Xi, honorary science fraternity in 1890, and also played an instrumental role in the founding of the Kansas It was Dr. Bailey who, with two other members of the science department of 1886, composed the fam- City section of the American Chemical society. LAWRENCE. KANSAS. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1938 Buildings Were Never Named Although the two University buildings recently named have been completed for some time, C. M. Harger, chairman of the Board of Regents, points out that they have never been officially named. Construction of the administration building began fairly early in the administration of the man for which it is now named, and was completed shortly after he retired to be succeeded by Dr E. H. Lindley. The chemistry building, which was completed in 1900, has no name except the facetious one, "Bailey's Barn," brought about by the fact that it appeared too large for the department of that early date. Now the building is badly overcrowded by the departments of chemistry and chemical engineering and the laboratories of the School of Pharmacy. Highway Patrol Checking On 1938 License Plates Topkie, Jan. 31 (UP)—Members of the state highway patrol are not relaxing their vigilance in arresting officers equipped with 839 license plates. Superintendent J. B. Jenkins said today the patrol still was under orders to arrest those who have not purchased the new black and white Establish Scholarship In Petroleum Engineering Establishment of the George A. Spang memorial fellowship in petroleum engineering, to be awarded for the 1938-39 school year, has been announced by Eugene Stephenson, chairman of the department of petroleum engineering, recently established at the University. A stipend has been provided by the children of Mr. Spang, one of the largest manufacturers of cable tool machines that operate plants at Butler, Penn. While the scholarship is intended primarily for graduate research into some problem of oil field operation, it will also be appropriate for undergraduate of unusual preparation. Birthday Ball Makes Profit Large Crowd Plus Good Music Puts President's Dance Over An estimated number of 750 persons danced to the tune of more than $4,000 celebrating the President's birthday at the Memorial Union building Saturday night, the proceeds of which will be used for the Children's Infantile Analysis after deduction of approximately $100 for expenses. Final reports of the proceeds of he dance have not been made, but ticket sales at the door were unusually heavy, amounting to more than $215. Expenses of the ball were reduced by $20 when University officials donated use of the Memorial Union for the dance. The lobby of the Union was generally crowded and many attended as spectators. The crowd enjoyed the music of Red Blackburn. Clark Howerton, T38, was chairman of ticket sales on the Hill. Other students working with him on the sales committee included: Bill Conner, c'38; Bill Ferguson, c'38; Michael Cox, c'38; Bralp Wire, c'41; C. H. Mullen, c'39; Maurice Bridemont, b'33; and Charles Alexander, c'38. HAY by WIRE .wrong or right is he --finals are over. Everyone knows this but it is still a refreshing memory.

Oread With Hope To Victory Over 'Team To Beat in Big Six' Nebraska's Cornhuskers will sweep down on the University Campus Wednesday night and the prospective invasion carries with it much of the excitement of a Kansas-Nebraska football game, but not quite the same fear for Kansas cohorts. This meeting will be on the basketball court. Nebraska has come a long way in basketball the last few years, but the Jawahras still hold the position of the team to beat in the Big Six. Nebraska tied Kansas for the conference championship last year and was early season favorite for the title this year, only to have Kansas usurp that place as the season progressed. Kansas has not yet played the brand of basketball of which the players seem capable, but the Missouri game saw considerable improvement in their play and the game with Nebraska may see the Jayhawks making the most of their latent power. The Jayhawks have a strong pair of scoring guards in Fred Pralle and Dick Hearn, but the front line has not yet scored as consistently as expected. Consequently the forwards have been able to stay on the starting pair varying frequently. Forwards Still Undetermined Final examinations for the first semester kept the Jayhawks off the court for a week following their game with Missouri, but recent practice sessions have whipped the men back into shane. Don Ebling, sophomore, and George Golcey, 6 feet, 3 inch letterman, have been getting the starting call in recent games, but are not far ahead of Lyman Corlor, Loren Florell and "Swede" Johnson. Featureting the practices has been the accurate shooting of Harp and Ebling. The two sophomores have been swishing the net from all angles and should account for some handy points against Nebraska. Amen a Nebraska Threat Golay has shown more life and fight in scrimmages and may repeat his high point performance of the Kansas State game. Praille continues to be the team's most consistent scorer however. Nebraska, heavily favored to win the conference title at the start of the season, tripped over Missouri in its first league start. The Huskers' star forward, Paul Amen, was able to play only a few minutes in that game because of an injured knee and his importance to the team was shown in Nebraska's second Big Six game, in which Amen scored 17 points. The Husker star is in top shape again and should give the Jayhawk guards a busy evening Wednesday. Continued on page 4 Letters are listed corresponding to the last names of students. The forthcoming dinner to be given by the Lawrence chapter of American Association of University Women, Feb. 8, recalls that the University was among the first state universities to h ave co-education. The dinner is celebrating the centenary of co-education in America, and is to be addressed by Dr. Louise Pound of the University of Nebraska.

Men and women—boys and girls, rather, for they were all of sub-college grade—entered classes on a parity. A.A.U.W. To Celebrate Centenary of Co-education The Tokyo government conveyed "profound regrets" and promised a thorough investigation and appropriate punishment of the offending soldier. Allison was slapped Jan. 28 while he and Charlie Riggs, a member of the faculty of Nanking (American) University, were investigating mistreatment of a Chinese woman who allegedly was a kidnapped from University property. On instructions from Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Joseph Grew, Ambassador to Tokyo, launched a stern protest and demanded satisfaction in 24 hours. That women at the University early felt their independence is evidenced by minutes of the College faculty. In April, 1883, as appears from the record, the case of one Dora Stubbleford, of Lawrence, and later of Coffeville, came before the faculty. It appears that although registered as a sub-freshman, Miss Stubbleford had evinced a desire to enter the university's computer program. The professor in charge of the course told her she could not, whereupon, to quote the faculty minutes, she had spread the report among the students that she would speak anyway. On the appointed Bitter cold which rolled southward from the frozen MacKenzie Basin and for the second time in a week laid a paralyzing blanket of snow and ice accross the Middle West through the Atlantic seaboard Monday night. Professor Doan To Speak At Journalism Conference Edward N. Doan, assistant professor of journalism at the University, and recently elected president of the National Association of Teachers of Journalism, has accepted an invitation to speak at the meeting of the Southwestern Journalism conference at Waco, Tex., March 25-26. Washington, Jan. 31 (UP)—Japan's apology for the slapping of Acting American Consul John M. Alison at Nanking by a Japanese soldier was accepted by the state department today as satisfactory and the incident was considered closed. The lowest 24-hour reading was recorded at White River, Ontario, where it was 50 degrees below zero. The highest 24-hour reading north of Sault St. Marie, Mich. Temperatures fell 46 degrees in 24 hours in the Middle West and a blizzard howled across the northern peninsula of Michigan where wreathy residents just were beginning to swim.

The faculty concurred in the action, and the young woman was duly suspended until the latter part of the month. "Oh, I knew those girls; there were none finer. Two of them were daughters of Lawrence ministers. But, then, they were sub-freshmen. One of those girls, I recall, used to amuse her fellow students by making faces, and once Professor Robinson caught her at it. The minutes are silent as to the nature of the "disorder," but Miss Hannah Oliver, professor emerita of human development in those days, gives this explanation: Minutes of the College faculty exist back to Jan. 1, 1870, the fifth year of the University, and early pages are filled with reports of faculty action in matters of discipline. However, only one case involved young women. In April, 1870, three young women were cited for "disorderly conduct in the class room," and were laminated. "We really appreciated our opportunities in those days," continued Miss Oliver. "There wasn't much levity, for we were all anxious to get as much as we could from our University education." 'Gold Shirts' Fight Troops In Mexico Followers of Political Exile Rodriguez Kill 25 In Skirmish Near Texas Border in Tamaulipas Matamoros Mexico, Jan. 31 (UP)—More than 25 were killed today when armed troops identified at one place as Mexican fascist "gold shirts" fought with federal troops and police in the state of Tamaulipas near the Mexico-Texas border, it was reported tonight. Travelers returning from Ramirez 30 miles from here, said that 18 men had been killed in fierce fighting there. Military and police authorities refused to confirm the report. However, United States newspaper men who attempted to go to Ramirez were turned back by the officials. Mexico City dispatches said the revolutionists were identified semi-officially as members of Los Dorados—the "golden shirts" who follow Nicolas Rodriguez and are opposed to regime of President Lazaro Cardeno. It was also reported that the bands crossed into Mexico from the United States. Rodriguez, in exile, had been traveling up and down the border. Authorities admitted that four persons were killed this morning in a battle between officers and armed snugglers. Unofficial estimates set the number at seven. Chief of police Miguel Cardales said the men had been identified as members here had been identified as members of the "gold shirts."

Oklahoma Still Paces Conference Sooners Score Victory Over Wildcats; Remain Undefeated in Big Six Basketball Race Standing of the Teams: Led by McNatt, sophomore ace who paced the night's scoring with Norman, Okla., Jan. 31.

Missed free throws: Kansas State, 12: Oklahoma 10. Officials: John Lance, Pittsburgh Teachers, and John Bolds, Kansas. Oklahoma's decisive victory last night over the down-trodden Kansas State Wildcats definitely establishes the Sooners as the Big Six title favorites and removes all but the 'innest possibility that the 49-46 victory over Kansas in the opening conference game was a "fluke." The Oklahoma offensive powerhouse which has rolled up 151 points in three games appears much too potent at this stage of the race to mount a convincing pass or Nebraska and should coast over other conference opposition. However, the Sooners face their critical test Saturday night against the Cornhuskers. If Oklahoma can take this hurdle successfully, there will be few bumps remaining on their road to the championship. Chinese Forces Smash Japanese Advance Shanghai, Feb 1 (Tuesday);—(UP) Chinese forces, throwing all available reinforcements into the attack, smashed at the spear head of the japanese advance near Ming Kwang today, slaughtering more than one thousand Japanese, according to Chinese reports.
