on the SHIN by Don Hays
Shinater has received another letter from a boy who seems to have the idea that "On the Shin" is a matrimonial column. Far surpassing the former letter, which inquired about "Spaniel" Springer, this latest masterpiece asks the name of the "little red-headed girl who was being carved up by the owner of a shoulder last Saturday night after the rally." The request also goes on to state that "the reason I did not sign this is because I go steadly, but if I knew who that girl was, I would quit my steady." Evidently the girl in question has it "it." If any of your gentle readers can find the object of the young man's affection, please send him an agony, or cabbage on to her yourself and let us know the date of the marriage.
NUMBER 42
Doris Johnson has at last made the grade! Not satisfied with the 10 year type of boy found in the modern colleges and universities. Doris has at last elevated herself to the range of the high school boys and was seen at the Country Club last Friday night. However, particulars are unavailable and perhaps she was there in the capacity of chaperon.
Instead of the customary "Blackface Act," Betty Cole pulled the "Whiteface Act" the other evening at the Theta blockhouse when she asked her boss to bring with powdered sugar and got a decided backfire. Rumor has it that she had to take her glasses off and clean them before she could find the piece of pie again. We've heard she did the same before, but now we've seen one.

It was a big weekend, but none of the gigantic events can compare with the pin-hanging between Granny Wilhelm and Virginia Sheldon. However, they have a diet, good ole Granny has decided (of course with the Sheldon permission) that the gals should have packages of chewing gum m rather than the traditional, stuffy chocolate. They are trained to supply the brothies with guest-size bottles of tomato juices in place of cigars.

Douglas County Health Association Announces Date of Opening Sales Camion
"The Tuberculosis Association has won the confidence of a wide public," Chancellor Lindley said yesterday in a message to the association members. "Because of this confidence it has been able to finance its operations without entailing heavy burdens on any one person."
“In the amazing conquest of the ‘great white plague,’ the society deserves an enormous share of credit” the Chancellor concluded in his
Makes Plans for Drive
Presided over by Mrs. Seba Eldridge, executive secretary of the Douglas County Tuberculosis and Health Association, accomplishments of the society during the past year were reviewed and plans made for the drive for funds in Douglas county. Following the luncheon Dr. C. Herrig, executive secretary of the Kannan State Tuberculosis and Health Association, told 302 people out of 100,000 died from tuberculosis. Only 55 death result from the disease out of the same number of people.
He said that several years ago a quarter-million lives were lost annually in the United States from the disease. In 1935, the number of deaths had been reduced to two-thirds of that number. As a result, it is hard to believe that there is every reason to believe that the disease can be eradicated.
K.U. Students Protected
Noting that University students are protected from tuberculosis better than any other group in Kansas, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said that until 1953 diagnosis was made on physical examination only. As only the advanced stages of tuberculosis could be detected by this method, tuberculin test was instituted in 1953.
More than 6,100 students have passed through the clinic until this car. One of every three students has positive reactions to the test.
Prior to 1938, for two years, the Douglas county association aided in the expense of the tests. Special chest clinics and X-rays were provided. Or else a year is financed by the organization on the Hill.
Mrs. Ethel Lynn, Lynn, nurse, gave a case study of "follow-up work" which she does in tuberculosis cases discovered in Lawrence.
Local Children Treated
Other phases of the work were explained by Mia Electa Kindleberger, city school nurse, who told of the four Lawrence children and their families. The American Legion preventator at Independence, Kan, She also told about the work being carried on in the Lawrence schools for the determination of students needing observation as possible tuberculosis
Miss Ruby Fairbairn, county Red Cross nurse, spoke concerning the clinic consulted here on the first Monday of each month by Dr. C.F. Taylor of Norton. She also explained that the Douglas County Association supports monthly chest X-ray procedures by Doctor Jones. Other benefits derived by tuberculosis patients provided by the local organization, include needed codiver oil and milk for tuberculosis patient here.

Riotious Students Jam Free Owl' Show In Noisy Rally
After the show was over, cheer leaders stood at the exits with tin buckets to receive contributions for damaging the damaged door and glass.
Excitement increased as it grew nearer to the scheduled time for the doors to open. The crowd surged forward, pouring through the four doors opening on the street. In the rush to get into the theater, one of the north doors was snapped in two, as many pressed against it, and glass in the box office was shattered when someone was shoved into it.
At the Dickinson theater last night, a free show was also staged for University students. No demo student is present.

Missouri Rally Will Be Heard Over Mutual
National Network Will Broadcast Game, Dance. And Pre-Game Activities On the Campus
A whirlwind climax to the Homecoming celebration Nov. 25 will be staged in the Memorial Union ballroom immediately preceding the Missouri game when a one-hour hour rally and dance will be held a d broadcast over the Mutual Broadcasting System.
Because of previous commercial commitments the Mutual system will be unable to carry the rally over its entire chain, but some 25 stations will in-operate in broadcasting what has been called the 'Mutual rally of its kind to take the air.
The Mutual system, through WHB of Kansas City, will broadcast a play-by-play description of the Kansas-Missouri football game over a coast-to-coast network, and in order to portray what it believes to be college spirit in the modern manner the WHB staff will also broadcast the final rally, over a partial network that will include stations in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and on the Pacific coast.
The Puff Pant Prom, the annual all-women dance sponsored by the W.S.G.A. will be held Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Many of the Hill's musical and pep groups are co-operating in staging the milly, called by a WHB executive ("the band"), or "the nationalizer," and it is expected that nearly all students who remain in Lawrence for the game will attend the rally to generate one final burst of enthusiasm. Pep bands put Kansa on the radio map.
"All men seen with dates before 11 o'clock Friday night should be socially ostracized," is almost an ultimatum by the prom committee. "You shall shiver shivering in your sheets while the girl friend borrow your pants to go puffing to the Puff Pan Prom."
The dance will be ended in time for students to move to the stadium for the kickoff, then removing fears of being knocked out as a parter of the Turkey Day contest.
Males Barred From Co-ed Hop
Four contest will be staged during the ovening. Prizes will be awarded to the best dressed man, best dressed woman, best dressed couple, and to the best dancing couple.
Clyde Bysom's band, which made its initial appearance on the Hill at the last mid-week, will provide inspiration to "swing out."
Tickets for the Prom are now on sale at Robinson gymnasium.

Former Prime Minister Of Great Britain Was Noted as a Leader of Laborists
London, Nov. 9. — (UIP) — James Ramsey Macdonald, who came from the highlands of Scotland to serve three times as prime minister of Great Britain during some of the most eventful years in world history; died tonight aboard a liner carriage to South America for his health.

More than once a political outcast because of his hatred of war, Ramsey MacDonald died as the vessel steamed west of the Azores.
The body will be returned to England from Bermuda, where the Retina del Pacific is due to arrive Monday. McDonald, who was born in a two-row cottage in Lissoumie, England, rose to the highest position within the grasst of the British commer-

A Laborite to the last, a man of the people, he explained that he did not want to bequeath a title to his son, Dominion Secretary Malcolm川汉章. He haman hamper the latter's political career. Another son, Alister, is an architect.
Although Donald's political followers were a negligible force in voting strength, his personal prestige and strong personality carried immense weight in all England as he was considered, even by the conservative government, as one of the empire's best assets.
His favorite daughter, Isabel, was attempting late tonight to reach the other members of the family, participate in her travel is traveling in the north of England.
Doctor McKinnon, a son-in-law,
said he was informed that the former
prime minister "passed away peacefully." "We assume that it was a heart attack," the doctor said, "because he had not been well for some time."

out Women's Pan-hellenic present a scholarship cup each year to the sorority attaining the highest scholastic standing. She further recommended that if any sorority should have the highest scholastic standing, she consecutive years in the cup would become its permanent possession.
The guests of honor were Mrs. E. H. Lindley; Mrs. William Dehn, grand president of Gamma Phi Beta; and Miss Mary Clay Williams, grand president of Chi Omega. Each was asked to say a few words of greeting.
Mrs. Dehn expressed a desire that the need for sororites on the college campus be recognized as being more than to provide places for girls to stay. Miss Williams expressed her happiness in seeing so many girls gathered together who were striving for the same purposes.
