New Set-Up For Debate Contests
Three Classes of High Schools To Be Divided In t o Twelve Districts For State Tourney
High School debate under a new set-up, and with an extemporaneous speaking content added, will come to the University Feb. 25 and 26.
The debates are upon the adoption of the unicameral system for state legislatures, and the extermpaneous speeches will be on some subtopic of government control of advertising. Speakers will have one hour notice of the exact topic, to provide for intensive preparation.
Entries for the debate tournaments represent 29 Class A, 44 Class B, and 43 Class C. Distribution in the districts is such that in some cases schools of one class may be transferred to another for competitive finals. Mr. Ingham anticipates 30 or more schools to be in the finals. Each debate team has a minimum of four.
With the taking over of the activities of Kansas High School Debating League by the Kansas State High School Activities association, came also the setting up of three classes of schools instead of the two which had prevailed for years in the past. The high school students are those having an enrollment of 500 or more students; Class B, 209 to 500; and Class C, less than 200.

For Republicans and big business only! It seems a young couple were going to have their baby christened. They had decided to name him Horace. The moment came when the clergyman inquired the child's name. The father looked down at the infant in his arms as a moment his hesitation ended "Franklin Delano." The baby was christened. Immediately after, with anger in her eye, the wife demanded to know why.
"Well," said the husband, "I looked down at him. He was smiling so winningly, but all the time he was soaking me, so nothing else seemed to fit."

Former Professor Enters Governor Race
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 91 1920
Dr. W. A. McKeever, former professor at the University, has entered the race for the Republican nomination for governor of Oklahoma. He says that he hopes to state how to live within its income.
Doctor McKeever was professor of child welfare at the University for seven years beginning in 1913. He was a member of the staff without pay during the school year 1920-21. He has fostered a movement in Kansas and Oklahoma for betterment of small cities. In 1920 he offered a prize for the city which would prove it to be the best place in which to rear children. Thirty-six Oklahoma cities entered the contest.
Protest Tax Reforms
Small Business Against Legislation A im e d at Large Corporations
Washington, D.C. Jan. 20—(UP) Little business men, who are protesting vigorously to President Roosevelt that they are suffering acutely from tax reforms aimed at large corporations, soon will be invited to the White House to air their complaints against the New Deal and propose means of curbing the recession, it was announced tonight.
Steven T. Early, White House secretary, revealed the President's plans to balance the economic complaints and suggestions of the crossroads merchant against those given in a series of recent conferences with the nation's outstanding business, industrial, financial and banking leadership. The president pictured affected in the new business legislation which Mr. Roosevelt is expected to propose to congress soon.
The Chief Executive, according to Early, instructed his aides to select at random from stacks of White House mail a group of representative leaders of little business. Many have asked to be heard personally by Mr. Roosevelt, which will be determined later by Mr. Roosevelt, it was stated.
The 1938 tax act proposed to exempt little business, which comprises 90 per cent of American corporate entity under the profits levy and which has main restrictions of capital gains, tax to throw up surglush capital.

Jayhawkers Defeat Tiger Quintet
Kansas Five Wins Third
Big Six Conference Tilt
In Downing Missouri
37-32
The University of Kansas Jayhawk dampened the championship hopes of the University of Missouri five Wednesday night by taking a fast game 37 to 22 on the Columbia court, before 5,000 fans. The victory was the third in Big Six play for the Jayhawkers. The loss was Missouri's second against a single victory.
After a tight first half, which saw the score tied seven times, the Jayhawkers set the pace throughout the second half and set up a 6-point lead that held up to the end of the game. The Jayhawkers led at the half 23 to 21 by virtue of baskets by Corlis and Pralle in the last two minutes, to overcome a 21-19 Missouri lead.
Thirty Fouls Called
Captain Brown, Tiger center, played only a few minutes during the game owing to effects of a recent illness. Florell, Kansas' skyscraper forward, was held out of the game by Doctor Allen because of an attack of intestinal flu in the pre- game warmup.
The Jayahawkers' victory was brought about by smoother all-round play than their opponents could show. Superior ability at hitting the basket and a defense that kept the Tiger offense muffled in the second half, meant the difference between victory and defeat.
Although 30 foul were called during the evening, the game was not unduly rough. Sixteen foul were against Missouri and 14 against Kansas.
Tigers Make First Score
The game started off with the two teams matching baskets until Cooper, Tiger forward, put the Missourians ahead with a beautiful one-handed shot. Harp retaliated and knotted the count with a long shot, and Kansas then moved ahead to a 10-5 advantage.
Missouri rallied to the game at 11-all, and then went ahead with a free throw by Halsted and a goal by Keireys. Ehling and Schmid scored on charity tosses, and Johnson got a rebound basket to give the Jay-hawkers an 2-point lead. A few minutes later, the score was tied by Burchfield. Harvey traced baskets and the score was knotted at 19 apiece. Keireys gave Missouri the lead with the basket, but Kansas came right back with goals by Prale and Cortis to take a 23-21 half-time lead.
Hold 6-Point Lead
Beginning the second half, the Jayhawkers moved ahead with baskets by Harp and Cortis for a 6-point lead that the Tigers threatened but could not overcome. Except for a short period, the Tigers were never when the Tigers came within 2 point of a tie, the Jayhawkers were never in danger in the second half.

Mattsons View Kidnap Suspect
RAYMOND ROGERS.
Manager.
St. Paul, Jan. 20—(UF)—J.
Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bureau of investigation,
announced tonight that bodies of Charles F. Ross and J. Atwood Gray had been recovered near Spooner, Wisc., approximately 80 miles from Lake.
BULLETIN
Ross was the retired manufacturer of greeting cards and valentines, who was kidnaped by Peter Anders near Chicago last Sept. 25. Gray was Anders' accomplice, slain in an argument over division of Ross$30,000 ransom.
Hoover's announcement was handed to newsmen by Edward T. Guinane, head of the fb.i. at St. Paul.
St. Paul, Jan. 20—(UP) -Murie and William Mattson, the only persons who saw the kidnapper and murderer of their 10-year-old brother Charles, were taken to San Francisco to view Peter Anders, 30, confessed kidnaper and murderer of Charles Res, wealthy valentine manufacture, it was revealed here today.
Whether they identified Anders as the bearded man who stole the boy from his father's home in Taicoua was not to be found out. Only they and the department of justice agents present know that. However, there is a marked resemblance between Anders and the sketch of the Mattison kidnapper, as drawn from descriptions provided by the young witnesses.
J. Edgar Hoover, head of the department of justice's bureau of investigation, said earlier that Anderson had once been a logger in Washington and had lived in Seattle. The former was raised by his family as to reason payments it wants inserted in a Seattle newspaper.
A newspaper in San Francisco reported without confirmation that the children had failed to identify Anders, Dr. William W, Mattson, their father, would not comment on this, although he did admit that his children had been taken to view the suspect.

The revue, scheduled for April 5 and 6, will be a variety show featuring vocal solos and ensembles, musicals, improvisations, ensembles and dramatic interludes.
Plan To Start Practice
After Finals; Musical
Comedy Arrangements
Near Completion
Under the supervision of Lynn Hackler, faul., a staff of musicians is completing the work of arranging the original music to be used in the production. All except two or three selections have been approved, and are in Hackler's hands. Arrangements for orchestra, vocal ensembles, and soloists, who will be announced in the near future, according to Coleman's statement.
Plan to Submit Music
When asked for an interview, he sat for a long time trying to figure out just why he should be getting the “breaks” now. Then he admitted that he was fattered, that he did like it, and that he’d tell anything I wanted to know. This is what I found out:
"The publicity staff is planning," said Coleman, "to submit the musical compositions to the advertising agency representing the orchestra and Guy Lombardo, who successfully introduced 'many' hit tunes."
Tom's average day begins when he barely makes his 9:30 class every morning and ends after he has finished delivering his papers along about 3 o'clock in the morning. When
"These two popular bands introduce more 'hit' numbers than the others," he continued, "and it will be valuable publicity for the show if any of them are played. We also intend to send copies of the songs to nearby radio stations and dance orchestras."
"While the arrangements of music are being made," added Coleman, "the dance directors, Jayne Coats, c.39, and Catherine Dunkel, ef38, are devising dance steps and routines which will be put into use in the second semester, the second semester when the chorus is called for practice."
Change in Chorus List
Several additions, changes, and replacements have caused a change in the chorus list, which now appears as follows:
Regulars: Mary Neel, o'cum, Charlene Barber, fa '39; Mary Lour Borders, fa '39; Virginia Apple, c'41; Jean Eichener Bob, fa '39; Betty Ann Yankee, c'41; Maxine Miller, c'41; Irvine Irvine, fa '39; Beth Smith, c'41

Paper Carrier; Proof Reader Is Also New Kansan Editor
J. H. Taggart Speaks At Kansas City Meeting
J. H. Taggart, associate professor of economics, defined and explained "Current Economic Trends" before the Junior Chamber of Commerce at Kansas City, Kan., Wednesday night. He talked for the Kiwanis Club at Leavenworth on the same subject Tuesday night.
"from office boy to President," a
a sentence contained in many a man's
biography; but when a paper carrier,
a proof reader and an editor are
wrapped up into one and the same
person who carries 15 hours in the
College on the side, there you have
something of somebody. That somebody is Tom Ellis, new editor-in-chief of the Kansan.
By Virgil Mitchell, c'39
At the Kansas City dinner, Cheney Prouty, 29, was presented with an award for distinguished service in local civic affairs.
Before Tom came to the University in the fall of '34, he had been spending his time teaching school, working on pipelines, railroads, cement mills, filling stations, beer joints, chop houses, and doing a little farming now and then. Between these jobs Tom spent his time bumming around the country seeing things from underneath.
Tom Ellis came to the University with $50 and a decade of hard knocks for recommendations. Today he says he is in debt. He owes $17, but figures he can have it paid off by the time school is out in the spring.
Last spring Tom was one of the recipients of the Schott Award, given to seniors in the department of journalism. Journalism is Tom's first love, although he says he would like to be a college professor when he gets out of school. He knows the Kansan from the top down and is active in all the processes of putting it out.
The new editor is a little older than the rest of us. He is of medium height, his head is half bald, and he is a typical Irishman, but claims to be English. His friends know him to be a person who will not be argued out of anything. His professors know him to be an expert in the logical examination of an individualist.
He is a pacifist, an idealist, and enthusiastic about everything. But he cannot see anything strange about being the editor of a paper and currier boy too.
Moore and Wilkins Will Give Radio Recitals
