UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXIV Coronation Is Under Way George VI and Queen Elizabeth Give Banquet For Guests London, May 10.—(UP) The pomp and splendor of the million-dollar spectacle revolving around King George VI's coronation opened officially when the 41-year-old monarch and his Scottish queen entertained 450 guests at a state banquet in Buckingham Palace. The "certain raiser" of the world's most extravagant pavage pane had its setting in the palace's white and gold ballroom—120 feet long and 60 feet wide—that was built for Queen Victoria. The King, showing no sign of weariness after a hectic day of final dress rehearsals and last-minute preparations for Wednesday's ceremony, sat at the head of a large oval table chatting amiably with his guests, gathered from every corner of the world to pay him homage. NUMBER 151 His commoner queen. Elizabeth, sat beside him. She wore a gown of gold brocade and a diamond tiara. The monarch wore the gold braid and epaulets of an admiral of the British fleet. Halfway down the room sat James W. Gerard, former U. S. ambassador to Germany and one of President Roosevelt's official envoys to the coronation. He wore tight-fitting knee pants made to measure in England "because American tailors can't make good clothes." The other U. S. representative Gen. John J. Pershing, was resplendent in his $600 General Grant uni form. The state banquet moved smoothly in contrast to the earlier events of the day, when police reserves had to be rushed to Westminster Abbey to protect the king and queen after they were almost mobbed by a jubilant thong that smashed down guard lines. on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris Each organization competing in th Inter-fraternity sing was require to have a sixty per cent representation of the total membership to compete. It now comes to light that the Phi Dell's the winners, had the sixty per cent all right, but six of the members were instructed merely to stand on the stage and not sing—so they won. CHI OMEGA PARTY — Roberta Mitchell received two corsages, one from her date, and the other (as the card read) "From An Admirer"—one poor girl couldn't find her date at internation and was saying "Honest I had a date," while her two corsets pointed at her work. "Didn't anybody lose anything?" — Prank borg Berg parler rather than the Beta party and was content with self-entertainment by resting one elbow on the piano and calmly leafing through a magazine. Reports indicate that the geologists who last week went on a trip to Colorado viewed it more as a vacation than part of the schoolwork and really had a time. The one girl who took the trip didn’t have occasion to spend her time alone—the Beta's Lea Johnstone was the first to start the rushing but was framed by competitors in the field who framed-up the young lady's role, leaving Johnstone to look-on and console himself with the fact that it was his idea in the beginning. 1 2 3 A. D.P. Party-When the balloons were released from a fish net hanging from the ceiling, the formality ceased and the battle was on. It turned out reasonably well considering bottles—only two pairs of wine glasses were used and only two fellows got their white coats soiled due to rolling on the floor . . . No doubt, some of the fellows who were giving out the flowery build-ups concerning the "Queen" wearing a skirt will be interested in knowing that she was Mrs. Hensler, the mother of Selma. Weather We don't expect any drastic changes—just the same old weather we've been having.

Fort Worth, Tex., —(UP)—Plans to adjust financial aid for athletes will be discussed at Austin May 14-15 in West Conference Schools of southwest Conference Schools. Texas Schools To Discuss Athletes E. W. McDiarlam of Texas Christian University, president of the conference, said, "tution differential" be a main topic on the program. Some schools, he said, were able to provide all-expense jobs for athletes at the maximum pay under conference rules. Other schools, he said, were able to offer jobs to prospective athletes that will pay all their expenses. Baylor, Southern Methodist University and TCU. have higher tuition rates than Texas, Texas A & M., and Arkansas. The seventh member school, Rice Institute at Houston, is privately endowed. McDiarmid said the three church schools want to be placed upon an equal footing with their competitors "by having the maximum resources available equal to the necessary expenses of attending that particular school." "In other words, any one of the seven conference schools would be able to offer a boy a job that would pay his necessary school expenses." McDiarmid said that the question of transferred athletes from junior colleges also would be discussed. Under present Southwest Conference rules, junior college graduates can play on a team of any member school without being a "freshman" player for one year.

May 10—(UP) A mysterious light appeared on one of the Hindenburg's fins just before she burst into flames federal investigators into the disaster were told today. Mystery Light In Air Crash Theories of Sabotage And Static Ignition Go Into Discard The light was seen by Friedler Wilhelm von Meister, vice-president of the American Zeppelin company, one of the two witnesses who appeared before the department of commerce's board of inquiry into the accident that claimed 35 lives. Von Meister did not elaborate his statement, but the man who was in charge of the body in the United States—Commander Charles E Rosendahl, of the naval air station—told the U.S. Press: Rosendahl, the other witness called today, said he believed it was unlikely that a static spark raced up the Hindenburg's landing ropes and ignited the hydrogen in her big bag. While he did not say so in many words, he indicated that he believed a spark or flame came from the ship. "Ive heard a lot of clatter about the light. If you listen to the rest of the testimony you'll hear more about it." Kansan Board Names New Editors The theory of sabotage was virtually eliminated at the investigation Alice Holdman-Julius, c'38, was elected editor-in-chief of the Daily Kanan and David Partridge, c'38, was named as managing editor for the nine-week term beginning next fall, b. the Kanan Board in a meeting today.

Library Circulation Reaches New High This Year Each of the some 4500 students at the University drew seven and forty-one hundredths books out of Watson library during the month of April. Of course it is quite possible that one or two seakers after knowledge only drew out forty-one hundredths books have taken at least two books to their rooms for weekend perusal. To put it another way, that is, to show how busy a place Watson Library is, is Charles M. Baker, director of libraries, announced yesterday by the University's website, was 33,348. During March of this year students used 32,860 books. And as if those figures aren't enough, Mr. Baker said that the total circulation of books for the year has reached 261,253. This compares with the academic year of 1931-32 when 283,511 books were issued up to May 1. That year topped all library records but library attests will see the establishment of a new high for book circulation. London, May 10—(UP) 'Britain's professional baseball season has opened with six teams, all quartered in Greater London, fighting for the right to play. Blimey, and They Don't H'even 'old Hout For 'igher Pay And each player, when he trudges home, will carry with him his full saliary for each day's labor—one pound, about $5 at Coronation "exchange." Under Britain's new salary system, the League pays each player a standard wage of $5 a game, and there are two games a week. An additional job, however, is guaranteed each player by his franchise 'bolder'. Last season Britain's professionals received between $10 and $5 a week. Crowds averaged 4,000 a game, every time the team played. And baseball was a financial failure. Coaches are paid by the league and the club owner. Their salaries have not yet been standardized, but most coaches earn $5 a week during the playing season. To make the game pay for itself this year, and stir hopes of a profit from Coronation visitors, salaries were drastically cut. By the time visiting Americans want to settle down to a bit of "home," they will be able to watch their own national sport in England. But they will find that the professional game, as played here, approximates an American high school team or college second varsity. Silk Print Display In Design Department A new exhibition of 23 design for printed silks has been received from the Schweizer studios in New York City by the department of design.

'Beat' Takes a Beating As It Comes Down the Years Chicago, May 10—(UP)—The simple word "beat," invented centuries ago by the English, has been molded into a dozen or more strange meanings by the American, according to the second installment of the book, *The New English*, to be published by the University of Chicago Press. As far back as 1833 Americans were saying the "beat of all" to mean to surpass or to excel, and by the middle of the 19th century such phrases "beat all," or "to beat world" were common in the American jargon. "Beat" was given its journalistic definition in 1875, when American newspaper men referred to "beat." The term is often used to "scorn" as it is sometimes called. As a term for a shiftless person "beat" dates back to 1871 and was often used in the compound word "dead-best." "To beat" also was used to mean to trick or to defray, as in the phrase "beat his creditors." Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad," published in 1869, first produced the phrase "it beats my time," denoting inability to comprehend, and in 1893 wrote "beating the pistol" as meaning to unget a unfair start in a race. Later meanings which have been tacked on to the word have been "to overcome by astonishment, "to exhaust," and "to lose patience." Professor Twente Ill PROJ. F. W. Twente is confined to his home due to illness. Prof. F. O. Russell will take charge of Professors Twente's classes until he recovers.
