on the SHIN by Virgil Mitchell
At the Big Apple varsity Friday:
A tid bit in a blue cap with much of that stuff grandma used to trim petticats with—Only one white Palm Beach in the crowd—the Corners were full of "Truckers" —truckin'-The Chancellor watched the show from the Pine Room—some say he smiled, the others say he frowned, so ask someone else-Best "Shine" goes to Terry Lilly-,he sure made a hole in that Apple
Best crack of the season came from those kissable lips of "Brody" during his show at the Big Apple. Brody was calling names, as they were called to him from the floor, for the trucking contest. Some wiseware called "Dean Meguiar". Several puscherons took up the role of a guard in name and unwittingly called for Dean Meguiar. His exact words were: "Dean Meguiar, yes we must have him"-and from the way he never cracked a smile we know he didn't know what it was all about.

Conscientious freshman: A lad with his freshman lid clamped tightly in one hand approached an upperclassman in the basement of Fraser one day last week and asked where he could get a "turd" slip as he was late to class.—Which reason did he ask? Drinking reporters, "Flash" Morris and "Bing" Cochrane. Flash and Bing were back from the haunted house fire and halfway through their copy when the fire department finally got to the scene. This is no reflection on the fire department as these boys were in the vicinity of the house when the fire started. Thus, they are more likely to be ledge of the place it might be added that both lads are familiar with the house, having among the best customers of the ghosts.
Woo In The Afternoon: Challis Hall is of the opinion that some of us have missed something during our freshman year, or years. The inspiration for such a conclusion came from a fancy pair of between classes tanimizers, one Ray Riggs and one Lucilia Forrest. They were playing a game where things on with the other hand, every twenty paces for an about face and then a rather youthful scene of heaven off the silver screen. I'm beginning to think I missed something, too.
items for my Memories: John Deter and his Yale wardrobe circulating over the campus before his return to the East. The rain, Carl Smith's editorial on "My Darling", and cellophane lumberjacks-Freshman Harold Haney asking Frances Hurf for a kiss in the Union fountain—bob Hoffman filling up his coke while no one is looking-Jack Townsend's affection for his hires help—the feminine side, of course.
Coming event: The weekly trucking class will be held as usual Wednesday evening just before closing hours on the front lawn of the Chi Omega's. All trucks will be expected to come.
First rehearsal of Men's Glee Club will be held Monday afternoon at 4:30, in room 23. Administration building. All old and new members please be present.

New Sour Owl Will Have Exclusive Photos On Kidnap Mystery
Exclusive and authentic photos of the kidnapping last Tuesday of the mysterious "woman in black" who visited the Cottage at "jam session" on Saturday, the first issue of the new Sour Owl, which will appear Tuesday morning.
The Sour Owl photographer, informed that a celebrity might be visiting the Cottage, was busy photographing her when the gang of students entered, shot at her with a knife and spilled her from the scene.
The cameraman succeeded in getting several excellent shots of the whole happening, and the photos will be given a prominent position in the Owl, according to James Cole-Collier, editor of the humor magazine.
Other features will be Dave Hamlin's autobiographical sketch, "How I became a Sour Owl Editor," an article concerning the tea-dancing situation, "Why Not Dance," and several others of interest.
Instead of selling subscriptions, as was done last year, the present staff will depend on single-use sales. The sales manager will direct streets Tuesday morning for 13 cents.
Karl Kleoz, Bursur of the University, has announced that about 250 students have not yet paid their fees. These students are being penalized 50 cents for each day of tardiness.

As yet po contracts have been let for the broadcasting of football games, the board was told by Gwin Henry, athletic director. Communications from several teams had been received, he said. Earlier the board indicated that any station be permitted to broadcast games upon payment of a $100 fee. At Director Henry's suggestion, the fee was put at $25 for distant stations not broadcasting. He decided that WOI, of Ames, is planning such a broadcast of the Kansas-Iowa State game.

Forty-two Students Given Residence Status
His eyes twinkled with the humor which has helped him to make numerous friends and which has aided him in overcoming his initial speech difficulties. A laugh and a twinkling eye are a universal language. Hans is a typical German boy. He was born in middle Germany in a small town near Leipzig. After fishing what corresponded to grade school and high school Hans studied the University of Munich for a semester, and the Martin Luther University for four semesters. His course of study included history, German, English, and teachers' training.
Forty-two students have been granted residence status and 30 have been denied by the residence board, according to Henry Warner, adviser to the governor. Six petitions for residence status are still pending for residence

In Germany we have lights at each desk for night work," he went or to explain. Such was Hans' rec-
German Classes are Like Ours
The University of Kansas is similar to the universities, according to Martin. The classes are conducted in much the same way; some being lectures, others discussions or laboratories. Class attendance is less compulsory and the students are allowed to take their own. Thus they are not burdened with routine classwork. Fewer examinations are given in German schools.

Varsity Downs Frosh In Season Opener
A varsity squad that displayed some old time fire was the pleasing sight that greeted some three thousand fans in the season's opener yesterday afternoon in Memorial Stadium. When the final gun barked the Varsity had piled up a 32-0 score over what has been called the most promising freshman crew in years.
Freshman Team Is Considered Best in Years but Yearlings Are Unable To Hold Fast-Blocking Veterans; Last Touchdown Made After the Gun; Score, 32-0
The feature of the game was the blocking and tackling displayed by the Varsity. Blocking was one of the forgotten arts of last year's team but they went at it yesterday as though they might use some blocking as a useful weapon this season. The line was charging fast and the Fresh backs were rushed so fast that the usually slowest have time to set the ball away accurately on passes and d points.

They cut the Big Apple Friday night at the Memorial Union ballroom, with a grand mixture of "trucking," "Sury Q." "pecking" and "shamus" by fifty-some ardent fans of this new dance mode.
'Big Apple'
Proves Popular
With Students
Termed by students the most unusual and enjoyable variety dance ever given, the Big Apple variety initiated the seasons dance program and demonstrated the abilities of the new dance manager, Paul Khim.
Featres "Trucking" Contest
Louie Kuhn and his orchestra furnished the music for the fad dance and Dale "Brody" Shroff acted as master of ceremonies. Highlights included performances by two of the Hill's colored students, and a trucking contest for both individuals and partners. Contest judges were Bob Pearson, James Coleman and Virgil Mitchell. Winners of the singles conten was Alice Marie Meyn and Bill Southern. Winners of the partners contest were Jack Richardson and John Lester. The music was awarded by the Granada theater and Bunsey-Allison flower shop.
"Cut the Big Apple'
The climax of the planned program was the cutting of the Big Apple right after the intermission. More than fifty dancers formed a circle covering a large part of the dance floor and danced the Big Apple to the calls of Master of Ceremonies "Brody" Shroff.
Individual talent came to the force in the "shiners" of individuals called by the members of the apple. Among the most popular "shiners" were Terry Lilley, Jackie Mitchell, Hugh T. Jones, Jane Coats, Bette Wasson
Comedy Substituted For Drama
Dramatic Cl u b Drops Austrian Play in Favor O f Farse; Rehearsals Begin Tomorrow
"L'Aiglon," the Austrian court drama, which was to have been the first production of the season by the Dramatics Club, will not be given. Instead, "Beggar on Horseback," a riotous foe-comedy, will be precluded at 25, as a substitute. Preliminary rehearsals for the new play will be held tomorrow night at 7:30 in Fraser.
It was found that Lee Schubert, who holds the American rights on 'L'Aiglou', will not release the play for amateur production except by special written permission. It would have taken 10 days or two weeks to get permission after clearing all of the red tape connected with it. Since the first production is schedled, a lot of time goes back head of the speech department, felt that too much time would be waited in waiting for the permission.
Read Forty Plays
Professor Crafton and Rosa Nuckle-
ness, instructor in the speech depar-
ment, read 40 plays Friday in an
effort to find a substitute for
basketball.
"Beggar on Horseback," the play chosen, was written by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. Kaufman was one of the co-authors of last year's Pulitzer Prize winner, "You Can't Take It With You." Connelly is the famous author of "Green Pasture." "Beggar on Horseback" remembered Broadway productions of the last few years.
Professor Crafton says of this play, "It is the best example of the so-called 'expressionistic drama' we have in America today. Although most drama of this type is serious, it is often comedy which we feel will be an immediate success with students of the University."
To Use Revolving Stage
The play is not heavy drama in any sense of the word. It runs its characters all over the theater; it dramatizes the dream of the leading male character; it is riotous, satirical comedy of the highest type. The play will use 30 characters in 12 movies. Among other things, "Beggar on Horseback" will use a revolving stage in its production, the first time this stage equipment has been used in this part of the country, outside of Kansas City. Plans for the revolving stage are now being prepared by Professor Cuffin Don Dixon, technical assistant of the department.
Orchestra Will Play
The play will use an orchestra of 8 or 10 members. Favier String Trio, usually used.
The orchestra will play incidental music throughout the performance and at least one long composition.
No formal tryouts will be held because of the lack of time. Professor Crafton feels they will enough to cast the play without tryouts. If possible, parts will be assigned on the Monday night reading of the play.
Orchestra Will Play
Brown Elected President Of Senior Law Class
Officers for the senior class in the School of Law were chosen in an election Friday morning in Green hall. F. Quentin Brown, business manager of the Kansan, was elected president of the class of '38.
James Molby was elected vice-president and Ruth Bordner was elected secretary and treasurer. Miss Bordner has served in this capacity all three years of the class's existence.
Browna and Molby are both members of Phi Alpha Delta, legal fraternity.
Radio Speech Class
To Present Play Over KFKU
The radio class of the department of speech and dramatic art will present the first of a series of one-act plays for KEU, at 6 p.m. tomorrow.
"The Barge of Time" is to be the first play. It is a radio dramatization of three scenes of college life written by Rolla Nuckles, instructor in the department of speech, who is also director of the radio series. The cast will include about 25 members of the radio class.
