Shinster wonders if part of the explanation for winning the Iowa State game lay in the fact that the team was greatly inspired by noticing all their old friends from Dante's Inferno (the entire staff of entertainers including the very active personnel) were present at the game.
Silly sight—the K.U. bandman going through all the complicated formations without any hat or band instrument. Since he had gloves on maybe he was a piececo player who couldn't do his finger exercises.
Society note—One of the Shinster's undercover women covered the house-warming of the "Pour Boys," Lewis, Chamberls, Sifers and Van Cleave, at their eight-house house on Oread Sunday afternoon and managed to get the goods despite the fact that seventy-five people, thick cigar amoke, and flying fool obscured the view somewhat. All four of the "Pour Boys" appeared in the latest afternoon suits with gardenia hale (diole) and the Pi Phi's for the occasion—advice) Exciter for the afternoon was provided when Grace (nutz, we don't know her name either) tipped over an ash tray on a bed and started a conflagration. Chambers raced up with a brand-new butcher knife and proceeded to pare the black part out of the mattress. Was he in a stew?
Retraction: The Sig Alph's and the Phi Ghan begged Shimster to retract his statement concerning their borrowing the A.T.O.'s "Sunday best" clothes for their tacky parties. They let Shimster know that they never used anything that, the, Salvation Army refused!
The Sun is awarding daily possession of a brown derby to the person getting off the lousiest pun or joke. Today it goes to Kay Sloan (Landon Lodge) for the following—the DU's are going their own way, they will be organized as the leading fraternity as far as Hill social activities go. Sloan remarked apropos of this that soon their theme song would be

So many people, interested in the outcome of the thrilling horror play, called in to find out what caused the break, that Rollu Nankus, supervise, brought in to present the play again on Nov 2, at the same time, 6 p.m.
The radio class of the speech department which was presenting "The Crossroads," a version of a "Lights Out" program, written by Domnasse Lohnehern, e38, last night ran into unexpected difficulties. Just as the eerie winds, whistling through the windows, drew in the sardonic laugh of the old woman had reached their height—the transmitter of KFKU blew out, leaving the listeners with a dead radio. Being actors of the show-must-go-on school, the players continued their speaking and the sound effects kept on, in case the transmitter should come on again. And it did not happen until the broadcast, in the final words of the broadcast.

Scholarship of fraternity and sorority members at the University of Kansas last year showed improvement, while that of non-organization members showed a decrease. As a result, the University average for last was cut to 1.30, from the 1.34 of the year before.
The points are computed by Registrar Geo. O. Foster, by assigning a weight of 3 points to each credit hour of "A" grade earned by a student, two points for "B" one point for "C", none for "D" grades, and minus grades. A rating of 3.00, therefore, would indicate straight "A" grades.
Honorary fraternities and sororites continued to lead, but with a reduced rating (2.14 for 1936-7; 2.19 for the preceding year). National sororates, which were the fourth ranging group last year, moved into second place with 1.62, given in 1.58. CSEI student app上 with 1.71, dropped to third place with 1.57.

Fraternity men moved up from 1.31 to 1.33, and non-fraternity men dropped from 1.27 to 1.24. Sorority men moved from 1.25 to 1.29, with 96 (less than a "C" overage), to 79 and uninitiated fraternity pledge showing the poorest grades of all dropped from 71 to 60.
Among social organizations, Triangle fraternity continued at the head of the list with a grade point average of 1.85, compared with its peers at nearby colleges. It moved from third to second place, with 1.74; Delta Upslaion moved from tenth to third, with 1.49; Delta Tau Delta from eleventh to fourth, with 1.26.
The leading sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, was slightly below the ranking fraternity, but moved into its lead with 1.81 from sixth place in last year's listings. Sigma Kappa Theta has been the most active Old Latin Omicron Pi, with 1.73, dropped from last year's leading position. Pi Beta Phi, last year's ninth place sorority, went into fourth place with 1.72, and Kappa Kappa G a m m a dropped one place to fifth, with 1.68. Among the honorary fraternities at the university, Kappa Kappa G a m m a third place two years ago; at the top last year, went into second place this year with 2.64 grade points, compared with last year's 2.66. Pi Delta Phi, a small Romance language organization, with a 2.81 gradient point average, took the lead. Pi Mu Epsilon (mathematical Society), with Order of the Cofe (Jaw), which is fourth this year with 2.41.
Among the professional fraternities and securities, there was less change. Phi Delta Kappa (men's education fraternity) remained at the (to p. 20) minimum, in second place with 1.78. Phi Delta Kappa, incidentally, showed decided increase in grade points, going from 2.05 to 2.39 in the year. Sigma Gamma Epsilon (geology) came from ninth to third place with 1.74, displacing Theta Sigma Epsilon as the security now fourth with 1.72.

Start Search For Airliner Officials Express Little Hope of Finding Any Survivors
Salt Lake City, Oct. 18. —(UP) A single search party picked its way on horseback tonight through storm-wave mountain country to retrieve the Airbus giant that crashed last night with 19 persons aboard.
The party, which started from Evanston, Wyo., was beyond reach of telephone communication when other searching parties were halted by airline officials. It was headed by Sheriff Frank L. Narrasure of Evanston, and included Pilot Robert Berteson of United Airline, who first sighted the wrecked plane from the air.
The fate of the 16 passengers and a crew of three aboard the big twin-motored "Mainliner" was not known and manager for United Airline, said:
"We can't say definitely that all the persons aboard the wrecked airliner are dead, but we have no reason to hope that all of them are alive."
It was believed Sherif Narramore's party would be forced to camp tonight because the clay roads leading to the scene of the crash at Chaik Peak, Utah, near the Utah-Wyoming line, were made almost impassable by heavy rams and snow.

NUMBER 29
Chicago, Oct. 18—(UP)—In the opinion of B. John Beak, Leake, Chicago aeconomic instructor, accumulated static electricity of tremendous voltage is in a large measure responsible for the resulting loss of human life.

The trouble, he believed, could be corrected in airplanes by attachment of lead-off wires or wrist brushes on the forward wing tip.
