London, May 10.—(UP) - The pomp and splendor of the million-dollar spectacle revolving around King George VI's coronation opened officially tonight when the 41-year-old monarch and his Scottish queen entertained 450 guests at a state banquet in Buckingham Palace.
The King, showing no six weariness after a hectic day of dress rehearsals and has preparations for Wednesday, sat at the head of a table chatting amiably guests, gathered from ever of the world to pay him bon
His commeror queen, I sat beside him. She wore a gold brocade and a diamond. The monarch wore the g and epaulets of an admirn British fleet.
The "curtain raiser" of the world's most extravagant pavement had its setting in the palace's white and gold ballroom—120 feet long and 60 feet wide—that was built for Queen Victoria.
Halfway down the room as W. Gerard, former U. S. an to Germany and one of Roosevelt's official envoy, coronation. He wore tight knee pants made to measure land "because American tails make good clothes."
The other U. S. repre-

form.
The state banquet moved in contrast to the earlier eve day, when police reserves I rushed to Winston Abbey tect the king and queen a were almost mobbed by a throng that smashed dow lines.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
The bus carrying the Chanute band broke down just a few miles from Lawrence, allowing the band members to stretch their legs but making the southern entrants do fancy steping to get here in time for their scheduled stage performance Friday afternoon at 1:30.
Color in a big way was the keynote of the festival the last three days. Brightly colored uniforms blended into the color scheme of the beautiful landscape of the Hill, already vividly decorated with evidences of Nature's loveliness touched deftly by the hand of spring.
Festival Notes
By. Ralph Bryant, c'unc
One of the most picturesque bends in the parade Friday was Frut's delegation, with bright green outfits that helped to struggle to find a place in the sun.
By Ralph Bryant, c'unel
Unusual sights were not uncommon during the festival, but the combination of Marquette's tall drum major and tiny mascot walking together down Oread created gazers who loved the show for four years old and 39 inches tall. Beside 5-foot-11-inch Warren Piper the contrast was delightful.
The all-girl drum and bulge corps from Cameron, M., receive plaudits from the spectators at the parade and at the marching contest. Its quick, pepy cadence produced an effect shown only in crack outfits and its well-dressed lines sharpened the corps' maneuvers on the field. The laissez' drum major was an attraction worthy of note.
Another flashy band was that of Marquette, which received comments from all sides for its striking appearance. Its uniforms were blue and white. Incidentally, blue, white and red seemed to be favorites among the visiting bands. The patriotic influence.
Downtown restaurant owners complain that they had a little trouble keeping their restaurants under control. Visiting band members seem to have taken command of things in general, and the food in particular. Hash-house men aren't used to having their places in such a condition in contending with docile, quiet, studious University students.
Three-year-old Cora Anna Keller, who led the Minnesota band, was another youngster that drew "ohs" and "ahs" from the crowds. She twirled her baton like a veteran drum major until near the end of the parade, when she got tired of that and devoted all of her time to stepping high, which still brought cheers from the spectators.
The Wentworth Military Academy band showed the results of intensive training in its marching and demonstration routines, in the stadium Friday afternoon.
James Mayo, Tulsa, and Dwight Dulaigh, Hastings, Hest, twirled a pair of mean batons in the marching contest at Haskell Friday night. Both attend Wentworth. They tossed fire batons into the pitch dark of the night when the flood lights were out, catching them defiant and boldly.
Fifteen high school bandsmen
We hate to think what would have happened if the weather hadn't been exceptionally good most of the time and the bands and choruses had had to crowd into buildings instead of being on the street well and the grass looked inviting. A good place to warm up instruments, too, as professors discovered.

Denny Lemoine indulged in some more of her Little Annie Rooney line at the fountain yesterday. There are many ways of drumming up trade, but Denny takes the cake with her one piece sun suit. Denny found another way to enjoy his sister's Friday, where she persisted in disturbing the peace by carrying a conversation with an innocent neighbor. The lad was ordered to move and Denny snickered throughout the hour.
AT THE GRANADA
Green hecklers! Things are coming to a pretty pass when the speech classes in Green can't have a little fun without objections from the shysters.

He walks with me, and He talks with me," when one of the Law profs broke it up by calling Rolla out in the hall like a bad little boy, and telling him his class was too noisy. Brother Wolf was leading the congregation, and the highlight of the service was Elders Myers' and Bradford's famous rendition of "Brighten the Corner." The class was mightily irked at being interrupted and is considering picketing the Laws. They do have grounds, you know—no freedom of speech.

The Beta's are going Princeton now. With the secret out that all Princeton men of standing wear their hair cut about one quarter inch from the bone there was nothing else to do. There are a few holdouts, but they will come through this week. Wish this would have come up last year when the great "Red Dog" was in school—McFarland is looking ahead to his return the 25th of May. Some say that she talks with a Harvard accent for a couple of hours after reading each letter.
Jody Bail provided no little amount of entertainment in the Fountain Thursday night by going up and down the aisles doing what Richardson wanted. Jack Richardson interrupted long enough to get in step and the show

The annual Inter-Freemtity Sing, sponsored by the Phi Mu Alpha fraternity, held Sunday in the University auditorium, was won for the third successive year by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. The 45 or more singers, understaffed, auditioned, c'37, sang with remarkable finish and regard for interpretative details. The singing of the seven fraternities was of a general high average and showed improvement over former years.
Terry Lilly stopped talking long enough to make a bet with another Oread street extra that he could get a bid to the Chi Omega party, Terms: the unhucky social climber must sit out in front of the Chi O'er at the Oread rate a bid from the Chi Oa'.

Chicago, May 10—(UP) The nicle word "beat," invented centenies ago by the English, has been abled into a dozen or more rangeanges by the American, British and French, in the "Dictionary of American aglish" to be published by the university of Chicago Press. As far back as 1833 Americans are saying "the beat of all" to mean surpass or to excel, and the idle of the 19th century such traxes "beat all," or "to beat old" were common in the American.
"Beat" was given its journalistic finition in 1875, when American waperman men referred to a "beat" an exclusive news story, or coop," as it is sometimes called. As a term for a shiftless person beat" dates back to 1871 and was ten used in the compound word lead-beat." To "beat" also was led to mean to trick or to defraud, first noted in the phrase "beat's creditors."
Mark Twain's "innocents Abroad," ablished in 1869, first produced the brass "it beats my time," denoting ability to comprehend, and in 1883 phraseology included "beat-ing" to get to a unfair start in a race.
Later meanings which have been eked on to the word have been overcome by astonishment, "to chaust," and "to lose patience."
