Some low I.Q. sent me a note asking for information about a person who was invited the rudish bed in front of the Chemistry building. Most likely it was some underpaired professor who is trying to make ends meet and at the same time not neglect his hobby—teaching.
Three follows hit me at the same time this afternoon trying to get another plug for the Community Recreation class. To tempt your correspondent they related a blow by blow tumble taken by H.R.H. Bob Childs, prex of the not too subtle seniors. If this barn bracing is so good why not get Elibl's class and the Phi Gams to "do-ci-do" it out some evening in one of the respective barres?
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 20 1097
The use of psychology came in handy for Don Hansen, head of the second year laws, when he was trying to think up some way of invigorating Joyce Platt into going on one of those walks. He stood beheaded between reciting poetry and singing nursery rhyms. By the way Don, the next time you drop an item in our box, finish the story.
Hard Luck story—While Lyman was unuploading the glassware from his girl-bailing coupe, Virginia Bevely gossiped about the weather and Lyman. Sure enough he wasn't the best catch on the campus but whatwhatever? —She was a hard luck girl and couldn't expect anything much. Why? What, why? He paid 50 cents for a hair cut just 30 minutes before the Indian sealhed him."

For use in Hollywood, McFarland has been studying music for a decade.

Wally Buys New Clothes
Trouseau Is Estimated To Have 100 Costumes And Will Cost $20,000
Paris, May 19—(UP)—Mrs. Wailly Warfield, who has been "eating her lunches standing up" to insure perfect fittings for her wedding trouseau, will have a $20,000 wardrobe in her trunks when she departs on the Austrian honeymom with the Duke of Windsor. The trouseau—more chic than Elizabeth—dresses Duckens of Kent for the coronation—was estimated tonight to contain 100 costumes.
But Mrs. Warfield bought them at "cut_rate" prices.
Paris courtierers, anxious to serve the famous fanciee of the duke and explaining that she has "the perfect figure for smart clothes," gave her generous discounts.
They regard her as an unofficial mannequin, since every garment of her wedding trousseau will be designed in new papery throughout the world.

Strikers
Make Truec
Detroit, May 19—(UP)—Fifteen hundred striking workers of the Consumers' Power company went back to their posts tonight under a "temporary truce," resuming power and light service to 300,000 residents of Michigan's Saginaw valley.
The stiflers voted to abide by "orders from Governor Frank Murphy" and send delegates to his office in Lansing tomorrow to negotiate with power company officials on demands for wage increases.
The striks called at noon today, when company officials failed to heed a union ultimatum, had affected four cities including Saginaw, Bay City, and Flint in addition to floods of small towns and villages.
Scores of large industrial establishments were closed, applying approximately 60,000 men out of General Motors and other factories.

Questionnaire Sent to Five Per Cent Of Students Gets 207 Replies From 211 Received. All Favorable; May Mean Administration's Approval
One hundred per cent support of a proposal to conduct a Wassermann survey of the campus beginning next year is the startling result of a poll of student opinion conducted by mail and announced last night by two student investigators in charge of the assay.
The American Student Union in a meeting last night unanimously voted to present the Men's Student Council with a petition not to reintroduce the tradition of compulsory freshman caps. The action came after the K Club and Ku Kui's, men's pep organizations, adopted on successive nights this week resolutions to secure enforcement of Hill traditions.
A.S.U. Petitions Against Frosh Caps
"If the cap tradition is not of sufficient worth to perpetuate itself without the use of force, it should die as death," the petition concluded.
The petition objected to the freshman cap tradition on the grounds that such treatment serves to ostracize the freshman and bewilder and isolate him even more than ordinary matriculation procedure, and that past experience has shown freshmen to be opposed to domination and discrimination by "upperclassmen or any small group of 'enforcers'."
Greg Hines, c'38, was elected delegate to the American Youth Congress to be held in Milwaukee July 2-5, and Jizek "Ezek" Cole, c'40, Summersfield scholar, was selected for enrollment in the summer school course conducted by the League for Industrial Democracy from July 20 to July 30. About 30 students from various colleges in the country attend this school.
Of 223 questionnaires sent to 5 per cent of the student enrollment, 207 replied favorably toward a suggestion that the Wassermann test be included as a part of the routine physical examination. There were no negative reports. The 16 from whom
The A.S.U. also voted a picnic for 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Phi Chi Members Are Named in Suit
Thirty-seven members of the 1934 Phi Chi fraternity were named as defendants in a court action yesterday when Roy Lawrence fitted suit in the district court to recover $1,010.00 allegedly due on two promissory notes signed by the fraternity officers on May 19, 1934.
The money was due, it was alleged, for groceries and foodstuffs supplied to the fraternity in 1933 and 1934.
One promissory note for $757.22 was made to Roy Lawrence, due in six months from May 19, 1934, and the other promissory note of like date was made to Lawrence Drive In Market, and later assigned to Roy Lawrence. The officers of the fraternity signing the notes were Robert Sherwood, president, and Hugh M. Swainey, treasurer.
University Club Elects Robert Haggart President
The suit has nothing to do with the present members of the fraternity as the members involved have all been graduated.
Robert Haggart was elected president of the "university club Tuesday evening. Other officers are: vice president, Leonard Axe; secretary, Charles Louk; treasurer Clifton Ramsey.
new members of the board of governors include Richard Howey and Karl Kueerstainer.
What Would Carrie Nation Have Done?
Topека, May 19—(UP)—Mary E Dobbs, secretary of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, today, demanded of Attorney General Eric Holder a commissionation of a person who threw a handbill in her office today.
"Drink your beer every day.
"Drink and throw your pills
"There's nothing like beer to overcome that tired feeling."
*answers could not be obtained had either moved, withdrawn from school, or were dead.
Possibility of such a survey appeared last Feb. 13 when Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, received word that the state board of health may obtain co-operation of the University Service and federal funds to make possible Wasserman tests, indicating the presence of syphilic infection, on students at the University of Kansas and Kansas State College, Manhattan, if such surveys were authorized by the schools.
Sounds Out Student Opinion
Doctor Cauthesen began to sound out student opinion concerning the proposal, and about a month later, working with the University administration, arranged for the student poll.
Informed of the results last night after completion of the poll, Doctor Canutement was enthusiastic. "Such a survey would prove of tremendous value," he said, "not only to the students, but to the United States, in aiding the movement to stamp out the disease." He also expressed the opinion that the questionnaire itself had been of great educational value, creating a different attitudes toward the subject and awakening a consciousness of the need for checking the disease, as well as the publicity concerning this survey," said Doctor Canutement, "about two dozen students have come to the hospital for Wasserman tests."
Doctor Canuteen will attend a meeting of the state section of the American College of Physicians where he will confer with Dr. M. W. Husband, director of the Kansas State College hospital, to determine the possibility of getting the surveys authorized and procedure outlined.
Kansas State May Make Tests It was learned that the decision on whether or not the Wassermann tests will be administered at Manhattan rests entirely with President Farrel. The state's education department defines a pilot of student sentiment before considering the advisability of making the test available.
The tests, said Doctor Catunesse, would serve three purposes. They would reveal presence of syphilis in a few cases. Tests conducted at other schools have shown that about one-tenth of one per cent of the students in a university have positive reactions. Speedy treatment of these cases would effect cures. The survey would bring to the attention of the probes students the general diseases, and serve an educational campaign. Lastly, the statistics would be available to the United States Surgeon General and be of considerable importance in the war against venereal disease.
Will Involve Tremendous Task
TREMENDOUS TASK
The tests, if conducted, would probably be under the supervision here of Doctor Sherwood of the University School of Medicine faculty, and at Manhattan under doctor Doah head of the bacteriology department there. It would be a tremendous job, said Doctor Cautenison, to administer 4000 Wassermann tests. The tuberculin tests given incoming students at Watkins Memorial hospital can be administered at the rate of 400 a day. One person spending all his time merely taking blood samples would require 10 days for the task.
Doctor Cainutson expressed the hope that the overwhelming sentiment in favor of the survey would influence administration to take favorable action.
