Huxman Here For Business School Day
A banquet, with Governor Huxman as the main speaker, the annual election of officers, and two baseball games are the main features of the School of Business day to be observed by members of the school today.
Governor Huxman headlines the program for the banquet to be held tonight at 7:30 in the Memorial Union ballroom. The Governor has not announced what subject he will talk upon. W. L. Burdick, dean of the School of Arts, and Harry O'Riley c38, will also speak on unannounced subjects.
This morning the students will vote to decide upon the officers for the school. The voting will take place at West Administration building.

If the person who did all the phoning in our detective story will make himself known he can collect damages from your reporter for referring to his mug as being "crime-maker." That is, if he can prove that it isn't.
A stool pigeon tried to deal with us this afternoon but we got his number when he laid it all onto the Phi Pa's. They couldn't conceive so much devility in so short a time.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1937
CORBINITE-
STUMPED
One of the less informed girls among the little informed lassies at Corbin hall brawl all of Emily Post's rules 'other morning by appearing in class with a last night's corsage of pink carnations. Six of them hung on one shoulder. And when all was uncovered it was found that she had worn them to the cinema the evening before with a sport suit. For her information, this is 1937 and the place is Kansas; not, but definitely, Hollywood in the year 1929.
Student employees at the Union, building are wondering about next year's spending money. They all want to stick their necks out but no one seems to be able to afford to. We recommend a sit-down strike. Maybe Jennings could figure that one out too.
RUB-DOWNER-Attention, Maxine. Reliable sources tell us that Elwyn Dees, athlete rub-downer, is taken in 30,000 berry a year from the Oil wells on his property neat Lorraine.
PATRIOT-Forrest "Frosty" Hard-ceared signed away a goodly portion of his life by joining the National Guard recently. The significance of the thing has just dawned on him, or so say his brothers. He has tried as a last resort to get a few of the less fortunate Ghir's to follow out but no luck.
CAMERA—The Chi Omega's are looking for the fine young gent in white and his friends, who staged a fight in front of their glorified cave dwelling the other night and got a rare candid camera shot of about 20 feet high half-clothed sisters hanging very indignantly from open windows.
CIRCULATION—Beverly is out of circulation now that she is needed. Spring nights, cokes, a green Old-mobile, and a bloomin' bloke have our red head going around in circles or something.

Alleged Abdication Allusion Aggravates Austere Academy
London, April 29—(UP) The royal academy has banned a painting, "The Lord of Creation," because the figure of a man being led away in chains by a young woman in a dress was a symbol of Windsor, it was revealed today.
Oswald Moser, 65-year-old British artist, who painted the picture, received a letter from the secretary of the academy which said that "The Lord of Creation" must be removed after hanging in a choice position of Gallery Number 10 for a week.
"The president of the council of the royal academy requests me to inform you that as your picture appears certainly to allude to an affair which is a matter of especially painful regret to the public it has been decided to remove the picture in question," the letter to Mossar said.
"The picture was painted more than two years ago and hung for two months in the Rye Sussex, art club gallery. The canvas, 5 by 4 feet, represents a young man being led away by a young woman. Other "disappointed" males and a few females are in the background.
"The authorities apparently believed the painting to have a reference to the abdication. Moor said, "I must insist indignantly deny that in-
"The man I painted is just an ordinary type and has very dark hair and bears absolutely no resemblance to the Duke of Windsor."

Flood waters receded Wednesday in the eastern part of the United States and Canada, leaving 28 dead, 12,000 homeless, and property damage estimated at $10,000,000. Three thousand refugees concentrated in Wheeling, W. Vw., watched the Ohio retreat toward its banks again, leaving filth and debris on residenti- streets. The Ohio crested at 45.9 feet and then began to drop at the rate of about 2 inches an hour.
A Jay Jane tea for next Wednesday, May 5, was also announced. All University women interested in Jay Janes are invited.
Damage High In Receding Flood
Authorities plan to establish an inoculation center to prevent a possible outbreak of illness. Supplies of typhoid serum in Wheeling were said to be inadequate. WPA workmen surveyed the city preparatory to clearing the streets of filth. Only one railroad was operating into the city.

R.O.T.C. Marches
To Militant Strains
Band and Unit Parade
In Spectacular Drill
Inspection
The R.O.T.C. unit of the University marched on parade before the inspecting officers, Major E. C. Meade and Major Fred W. Oickwah, yesterday afternoon on the parade grounds behind Robinson gymnasium, to the militant strains of Prof. Russell L. Wiley's military band.
The R.O.T.C. unit is divided into the coast artillery battalion and the infantry battalion; the first battalion is divided into A, B, and C companies, and the second battalion into companies D and E.
After passing in review before the officers, the unit was inspected in rank. The clothes and equipment of the men were found to be in perfect order. Following inspection, the unit was taken into company, platoon and squad drills.
The band was considered a great inspiration to the men, helping to make it one of the most spectacular inspections seen in several years.
"There is a big improvement in the unit, and the men show better spirit. The unit speaks well for the students in the University," Major Meade said, questioning as to how the inspection compared with that of late years.
English Faculty To Meet at Fort Hays
Major Wickham followed out this idea by stating, "The unit is vastly improved, there is no horse play and I have made a credential—definitely a credit to the University."
The annual meeting of the Kansas Association of College Teachers of English, will be held at Fort Hays Kansas State College this week end. The following members of the department of English will attend: Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Bebout, Prof and Mrs. John E. Hankins, Mr. George H. Hartrant, Prof. E. M Hopkins, My Missora Mylla, Missiam Smyth, Prof. John B. Virtue and Alice Winstein.
Friday evening, Professor Hopkins will give the response to the greeting extended by President C E. Rarick, Fort Hays Kansas State College, at the annual dinner. Professor Hankins will speak Saturday morning on "The Poetic Idea."
Professor Virtue will speak Friday afternoon on "Three Novelists, or What's Wrong with the World."
Geologistis blame the motion to creepage - sliding of the topsoil, the ground we walk on from three to five feet down. Underneath is a deep layer of shale of the same formation as the one projecting from Blue Mound southeast of town. Fall and spring water pushes the soil loogy, the slipper shilley. Then the motion of water and pull of gravity do the rest. It is the same process that pushes curbations into the walks on sidehills, the same that up-
Professor Engel to Speak At Kansas City Junior College
Hold Your Seat—Snow Hall And Library Are on the Skids
A bushy man could have stuck his hand into the plaster breaks, recently patched up, in the walls about the circulation desk on the second floor of the library. These crucks are evinced by foundation changes and shrinkage.
Students in shiny cars, on rollskates or barrel-stake skis have no corner on coasting Mt. Oread. Watson library and Snow hall are coasting down, too, though not as swiftly. The two buildings' downhill movement results from a slow sliding, a constant motion of earth down the sides and away from the Hill's center. It is a natural, gradual decrease, usually checked because there is no way of stalling the force of gravity.

Professor Engel was one of the nine persons selected to act on the educational commission which was sent to Germany by the OberLaender trust to study educational faculties last summer. The educational commission received special permission to visit the typical German school and study its functions. The findings of the commission will be the basis for Professor Engel's talk at the junior college convoaca.
heaves concrete in sidewalks where night-walking students stub their feet and mutter to themselves.
All University buildings, consequently, creep—mess up of them scarcely enough to show perceptible changes over the period of a man's lifetime. Their foundations reach down to the shale, shaped within Mount Oread and the lower reaches of Mt. Babelback. Architects have set Huch auditorium on immense concrete cisterns sunk 16 feet into the under layer of grey, flaky rock.
Last year and in previous years, the Hill's edges were shaped into terraced slopes. Beneath these, a complete web of underground pipes carry
grounds, and directly from the roofs. In this way, only the rain that falls on a terrace side has an effect of erosion. The system lessens soaking, creep, and eliminates water - cut ridges on Mt. Oread's sides.
But still the buildings move away from the Campus center at a slow rate. Our great-grandchildren will be the ones to suffer—the between-class walks will be longer. And their great-grandparents may go to school in classrooms and libraries halfway down the valley.
A. B. Weaver, '15, Appointed To World's Fair Committee
Arthur B. Weaver, '15, has been recently appointed to the National Advisory Committee of the 1930 New York World's Fair as a representative for the state of Kansas. The committee is composed of lead-leadite, nickel and copper state appointee by Grover Whalen, president of the fair corporation.
In announcing the appointment, President Whalen said, "It is expected that every state will participate in the exhibits of the fair and it is important that they should have a voice in the planning and operation." Mr. Weaver was selected as a representative Kansas business man because of his state-wide acquaintance.

His Majesty's Loyal Subjects—
The chimpanzees at a Herefordshire zoo have been given Coronation mugs for their tea parties and have been photographed waving the Union Jack with enthusiasm.
Londoners who want to be awakened early on the Coronation Day, May 12, have only to make a request and their telephone will be available at any hour of the morning and will continue to ring until they answer.
Worcestershire County naturalists are worrying about the effect on birds of the torchlight procession to be held there on the night of May 12. Conservators have decided to allow containers with cotton-wool soaked in paraffin instead of the tarred绳 flares which killed many birds during a similar procession at the time of the Silver Jubilee.
More than half a million boxes of chocolate will be given to school children as souvenirs of the Coronation.
The government of the Gold Coast is to receive 70,000 bars of chocolate, which are to be distributed to African children on Coronation day.
More than 59 portable "public address" outfits and 5,250 loudspeakers have been ordered so that the natives of British West Africa may be heard in London, Dublin, Queen and later listen to the King's message to his subjects.
Some of those who will have to walk the six and one-quarter miles of the Coronation procession are now wearing the boots to their costumes all day in order to break them in. A number of the Yeomen of the Guard have gone into training for the walk.
Sir Edmund Davis, of Chilham,
near Canterbury, will place £3
($25) to the credit of every baby
that parish during Coronation
year.

Cops Enjoy Open Season On Students
"The Lawrence police force," said the Kansan recently, "is launching a vigorous campaign to promote safe driving. Traffic ordinances will be rigidly enforced. Motorists, take warning."
Early one gray, cheerless morning a few days later, the judge of police court disposed of an assortment of drunks, disturbers of the peace, and wife beaters, or –was it sleepy?—called for any traffic cases. Glancing at the K-8 vehicle, the evidence of the habitat of the victim's environment, the judge enquired if it were all-University day at the court.
The judge is not the only one who would like to know. Students and cops, it seems, just can't get along. A Lawrence police evidence really reacts to the sight of a student in somewhat the same manner that Ernest Hemingway's killer instinct is aroused by the sight of a mangle, defenseless lion, or aardvark, or whatever it is that Hemingway hunts.
Any student who has driven a car in Lawrence for a reasonable length of time can spin a heart-rending tale about his experiences with the police. There is one case on record where the guardians of the law didn't wait for their victim to become properly enrolled. The reception he received as a senior in high school, driving into Lawrence, was a session of drunk driving that was ripped from the car in an effort to find the liquor that the dangerous looking character was surely carrying. Upon the discovery that their catch was not a University student, he was released. Evidently the Hill dwellers are the only ones on whom it is open season all the year round. Students at the University of Southern California recently surrounded the cars of police who were tagging University Park cars, let the air out of the tires, rocked the car around the street, and in general made themselves appear come up and arbitrated the matter. Feuds between the students and local police are not at all uncommon in college towns. But here, the lot of the students is like Mark Twain's weather. Everybody talks about it but no one does anything.
