on the SHIN
Monday evening a Phi Delt reverted to his childhood days and joined a burch of small boys in a marble game—soon a cartoon of his fraternity brothers drove by and stopped to give him some cheers and jeers. The interest we were with the put out and entered the game in typical bully-like fashion, causing the smaller boys to stand idly by.
Roommates Charles Toberin and Joe Ryan report concerning a letter they received from Edgar Tait, captain of New York University track team. It seems that during a hacker room-boll session the squad was to retrieve information in which apprehension the pictures of Engineering queen candidates at K.U. The group chose Kappa's Dori Johnson for Queen—but Tait even so far as to say: "If I weren't a senior, I'd quit school and go to K.U."—He now plans to invite Doris to N.Y.U.'s Senior Prom —If she accepts, he will hop a plane here, take her back to New York, return to campus back to Lawrence—all of this by airplane. Sounds like an adventure has been planned for Doris—it something for her to think about!
Someone engaged in a bit of pranking when they managed to drag the chassis of a hay wagon on top of Chuck Lueck's strip-down green Ford that has lain iadine for well on to six months in the field across from the Kappa Sig house. Idle rumor reigns that the culpits were the sprightly and michevous D.U.'s the only ones in that neighborhood who had the man power (brawn) to lift the heavy vehicle. At any rate, a rapid rise of raucous invectives fed the air when Chuck saw his pride and joy smothered by a monstrosity.

Benito Mussolini Defies Europe In Fiery Speech
Attacks British Criticism Of His Treatment Of Ethiopian Rebellion
Rome, March 23—(UP) —Premier Benito Mussolini, defied the nations of Europe in the fiery speech celebrating the eighteenth birthday of Fascism, today, and brought Italy into the grip of an open break with England.
II Duce, shouting to 250,000 black shirt FacSifc masses massed in Vencie square to "remember and prepare Great Britain in angry terms.
While he bebered the British his ambassador to London, Dine Grandi, informed the International Non-Intervention committee that Italy relied absolutely to discuss recall of the German military with rebel armies in Spain. *
Grandi, whose announcement burst upon the neutrality committee with the shock of an explosion, said it was his "personal opinion" that not a single Italian soldier would leave Spain until the civil war is ended.
Lord Plymouth, chairman of the Non-Intervention sub-c Committee in London, characterized Grand's statement as "extremely serious" and said he would consult with the British government immediately.
The number of Indians serving with the Spanish insurgents has been variously estimated at between 60,000 and 80,000.
Mussolini, rushing back to Rome from an inspection tour of Italy's colonial defenses in North Africa, and in 1920 joined the attacks on his Libyan tour.
Diplomats, worried by Diuc's blunt stand and the turn of events before the neutrality committee in London, said Italy-British relations were at their lowest ebb. They adjoined that the situation was alarming.
"These were associated," he said, "with certain hypocritical, hysteric Anglican pulpits, which noted a straw in the eyes of others while their own eyes were blinded by fire." In this case his statement was taken to letter to recent attack level at him by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Several diplomats attributed Mussolini's harsh words to the action of British newspapers, and even members of Parliament, in assailing him for his harsh treatment of Ethiopian natives following the attempt to kill Rudilo Grazian, vicector of Ethiopia, in Addis Abba recently.
The tension between Italy and England, they admitted, approaches in gravity that which existed in the autumn of 1855 when British conquest of Mexico occurred by Mediterranean while Massachusetts army drove toward Addis Ababa.
