on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
A physiology class would seem, a rather unique, if indeed, not a drab place for a man to prove his true worth. Yet that intrepid and endearing politician, John M. Phelps, was able to the combination of pin and blood in such a class recently. To elucidate, the task of the hour consisted of piercing the prognosticating limb of the hand with an insignificant pin in order to set flowing blood into the experiment. When Jean Perry had nonchallantly concluded the hideous task, the gory sight was too much for little John who was obliged to beat a haasty retrent to the hall. Haste makes waste, so little John was able to be a beauteous gory beameasure his angelic contenance. John was blessed with plentiful "buckets of blood" for his experiment, which only goes to show that an enternipled lad with a fertile brain can find more than one means to an
Someone took John Hunt, Y.M.C.A. secretary, at his word when he called for suggestions along with contributions to the "Y" fund in a form letter sent out recently. In the return mail he found a letter containing three one dollar bills and a short note on the bottom of the envelope. The letter "Under social activities you have listed occasional smokers first... K. U. had too much smoke for 20 years age, and my logical mind hardly gives credulity to the belief that it has only occasional smokers now." On each dollar bill was a line written in pencil. On

Acceptance Report
Causes Much Confusion
In Athletic Circles
"Has Arthur Lonborg basketball coach at Northwestern University, been contracted as Athletic director or not?" —that is the question in the minds of those interested in the team. The team had a strict condition: The contusion is the result of reports, demails, and buck passing that cannot help but leave observers a bit dizzy. First, Lonborg is reported as definitely accepting the position of directing the athletic department, submitting his post at the Big Ten school.
Then as soon as the Regents got wind of this, Ralph T. O'Neil, member of the Regents' committee for choosing a director, made a statement saying that the job had not been offered to Loonborg or anyone else. According to O'Neil, the decision will wait for a few days, and the coach will only consider along with the rest of the candidates.
Dorsey and Pinney Selected for KFKU
A check-up with the local members of the "committee of three" gave no light on the matter. Prof R. C. Moore said that any information would come from Prof. W. R. Davis, chairman of the board. Prof W. R. Davis said he had nothing to say since the choice of the director was in the hands of the Regents. However it is thought that the athletic board recommended Lonborg to the Board of Regents. Charles M. Harger, chairman of the Board of Regents, also had nothing to say except that the matter was in the hands of the committee appointed for making the decision.
James Pinney, c20, and Claud Dorney, c38, were chosen as announcers for radio station KFKU in studio last night at the radio studios host.
The first tryouts were held Feb 11 with 30 students entered.
The judges were Mrs. Alice Moncrieff of the department of voice Robert Calderwood of the depart- ment, speech, and Martin Macleary c37.
These two chosen will be emergency announcers for the rest of this term and will on the regular staff next year.
Simultaneously Secretary Hull indirectly rebuked LaGuardia by calling upon all who are participating in the present controversy "to find other subjects, which can be discussed more temperately."

Illinois Is Center Of An Intensive Fleming Search
Authorities Are Working On Belief Student Left To See Relative
Search is being centered around Toonl, IL, for Fred Fleming, student of the University who has been missing for 10 days, according to information received by Sheriff Fred Vogler of Douglas county.
Authorities are working on the idea that Fleming may have hitchhiked to the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Fred Fleming of Toulon. His aunt, Miss Jessie Fleming of Princeton, Ill., has been notified of Fleming's arrest and she is port to the local authorities if he shows up there.
Dean Henry Werner, men's student adviser, has received no answer to the telegram that he sent Tuesday afternoon to Fleming's father, Mr. C. W. Fleming of Fredonia, requesting information concerning his son.
Proposals designed to enable students to offer group majors in the biological, physical, and social sciences, instead of the customary departmental major, were made at a meeting of the faculty of the University Tuesday. The proposals, which came from three separate committees, were referred to the administrative committee for study and report.
Under present College regulations, each sophomore choose one of the 22 departments in which he will do from 20 to 40 of the 124 credit hours required for graduation. Under the guidance of a professor, he would distribute his work through several related departments, as for example, botany, entomology, zoology, bacteriology, and physiology in the biological science group; chemistry, geography, mathematics and d physics in the physical science group; and history, economics, political science and biology in the social science group.
Fleming had been working this semester at Brick's restaurant and had worked until 8 o'clock Sunday night, when he was forced by anyone has seen or booked of him. His landlady, Miss Lotte Skofstad of 700 Alabama street, said that she thought he had left his room early Monday morning to work in the office, but that she did not see him leave.
Fleming first enrolled at the University on Sept. 1, 1935, as a student in the College. He worked for the NYA in the fall of 1935 and the spring of 1936, when he quit this line of work. Fleming moved in various local restaurants.
New Group-Major Plan
Proposals Made by Faculty Committees Under Consideration
The group major, should it be adopted, will be of special benefit to prospective teachers, since the high school courses in these sciences are the subjects of the active type, instead of the specialized courses offered in college.

Cunningham Wins
Second Fastest Indoor Mile on Record
New York, N. Y., Mchr 17.-(UIP)
Glenm Cunningham, of Kansas, ran
the second fastest mile mile ever
recorded when he won the Columbian
Mile for the fifth straight year in
the 18th annual Knights of Col-
lege football game before a
capacity crowd of 16,000 at
Madison Square Garden.
Cunningham traveled the distance in 4:08.7, three-tenths of a second slower than the mark set by him in the same event in 1394.
The Kansan with the flame scarred legs who was believed to have been running his last indoor mile race in New York defeated Archie San Romano of Kansas State Teachers College by six feet as he came from behind on the bell lap. Cunningham's mile was the third oldest ever run in outs or out rains of 1834-1834 Princeton nected in New Jersey. The time which is now the present world's standard was 4:06.8.
Luigi Bacci, of Italy, the "Milan Powerhouse" who won the Olympic 1500 meter title in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles was third, a scant yard behind the fast fading Romani. Gene Verzeker, former Penn stylist for New York City's elite Club is fourth and last, less than five yards behind Musolini's fast flying road construction engineer.
Cunningham running in the red jersey of the New York Curb ExchANGE flashed to the fore at the start of the bell lap after letting the Kansas State Teachers College runner set the pace for 10 of the 11 laps and when the former Jay Hawker star went home, his team leading to home, their were in the race who could catch him.
