NUMBER 97
Ten Other Crew Members Are Hurt in Mishap In West Coast War Games
San Pedro, Feb. 18–(UP) – A shell exploding in a 5-inch gun on the battlefield Wyoming today killed six of the marine gun crew, seriously injured six others and slightly hurt one. The injured were in a critical condition.
The 25-year-old battleship was engaged in firing at the shoreline of San Clemente island, 500 miles from San Pedro, laying down a bargeage for an imaginary land 'party' in the city being *c* adduced by the battle fleet.
After one of the salves, the gun crew, all murines, were reloading the S-ich rifle, when the shell which they were handling discharged before the breech was closed.
When the smoke cleared, a captain of U. S. marines and five of his men lay dead on the Wyoming deck, while ten others, wounded, were hurled in all directions by the turricid backfire. Navy officials tonight reported the explosions occurred at 10:40 a.m.

Several members of the Daily Kansas staff are advocating that Feb. 17 hereafter be known as O'Brien day to the department of journalism to commemorate the efforts of Publisher Dale O'Brien on that day. The journalism students that big stories are always at hand if they will keep their eyes open and ever assume an inquisitive attitude. O'Brien happened to gasp toward the vicinity of Haskell and noticed the buildings, so he soon felt the sensation feeling that he had a "sooop" for his paper because he believed that a new town had sprung up over night. After being convinced that his theory was wrong, O'Brien evidently said he should make him so he took over the Super-Colossal Associate Editor) with him on his next search. The two were in back of Green hall and they noticed that the passage into the air tunnel was open so they decided to enter and process the investigation someone locked them in.

Roosevelt Requests Crop Insurance Bill
Move Would Stabilize Farm Prices in All Years
Washington, Feb. 18—(UP) —President Roosevelt called on Congress today for enactment of a federal insurance program to protect farmer
and consumers against crop disaster, with the pointed statement that "our form of government was never invented to do this," in the reform of this character."
"A program of crop insurance, the "Chief Executive said in a special message to Congress," should be part of the foundation for the conservation and which are building and which must include the conservation of soil and water, better land use, increased farm income, and alleviation of distress in rural areas acting out of factors beyond the control of individual产
Mr. Roosevelt endorsed as "practical and socially desirable" a special committee recommendation for crop insurance coupled with a storage plan which he believes will tend to stabilize farm supplies and prices through fat and lean production years.
Under legislation proposed, farmers would turn part of their crops or its cash equivalent, over to the government which would store the money around the country to release to the farmers when their crops failed.

While at the meeting Doctor Bayler plans to attend a conference on Consultants for the Educational Policies Commission of the National Education Association. The purpose of this commission, which was appointed in 1935, is to strive for enduring educational policies to fit social needs.

Topkick, Kana, Feb. 18, (UP) — Kansas' beer problem, which provoked the most turbulent debate of the thirtieth general assembly last week, will occupy the major attention of the legislators this month.
Doctor and Mrs. Bayles, accompanied by Fred S. Montgomery, secretary of the University Bureau of Research, will leave for New Orleans today.
Forgetting Slide Rules for Tonight Engineers Go Gregarious for Hop
History of debate on the beer problem in the house shows a loving battle fought by the wests. Five amendments to the original Primmner-Schelpel one-half of one percent bill were proposed by we leaders in a vain effort to defeat the hill.
Beer Situation Causes Mix-Up In Legislature
Monday the house members will have a final roll call vote on the bone-dry bill. If the bill passes it will go to the senate. If killed, the legislators will be exactly where they were at the start of the session as far as beer legislation is concerned.
governor Huxman does not look with favor on the bone-dry bill. Previously, he indicated that one-half of the 92.2 or one-half per one cent bill.
The Governor declined to state whether or not he would sign the bone-dry beer bill, but referred to the House in an insative message which read, "I think we should adopt a definition which is a reasonable one and which appeals to our servant of reason and one which we can defend before all."
Forasking his slide rule and lessons for the evening, each loyal engineer is expected to put his best foot forward tonight at the Hobnail Hop, and prove to the rest of the campus that he can "go social" if
Huxman indicated he did not regard the present bill as if "reasonable" one.
The legislature finds itself in the peculiar position of having voted favorably in the house to outlaw all alcoholic beverages, including one-half of one c beer, and the half of one m beer, to measure to tax all malt beverages.

The Hobbit Hop is the annual dance sponsored by the Engineering Council, and although it is presented in a ballroom setting, other students are invited to attend. The main feature of the dance will be the presentation of the Engineers' Queen, who was elected the first of the week by students in the school. The number of the queen has not been disclosed, but Jane Waring, a freshman in the school seems to be the favorite. Signs reading "Let's elect an engineer queen of the engine school" have been given several days. Another group, composed mainly of Theta Taus, is backing Mary Katherine Dorman for this honor, and although Miss Wiring apparently has the lead in the voting, it will not be part of the tonight who the queen really is.

the law students to get revenge. However, this year, the engineers feel that because they have not mocked the laws, the Hop should be an orderly affair, undisturbed by the laws.
According to reports, the engineers will be prepared for any trouble the law students might plan, but they are anticipating no trouble at all. When it was not uncommon for the law students to kidnap the Engineers Queen so she could not be presented at the dance, and for that reason, the identity of the queen during her grant entry during the dance.
Five University women were chosen by students in the School of Engineering as candidates for their queen's title. They will be presented at the dance as well as the one chosen as queen. The candidates are: Jane Waring, Mary Katherine Dorman, Jean Williams, Doris Johnson, and Betty Ruths
Red Blackburn and his orchestra will furnish music for the dance which begins at 9 o'clock the next day, to be sold by members of the Engineering Council and also at the main desk of the Memorial Union building for several days at 75 cents, but the price is $10.60 at the door this coming.

Mary Frances Martin, c37, does her best to dress alluringly and love appealingly in order to attract Tiee's attentions. Ann looks her in her room, forgets Normie, and Cupid has another match in his bow.
The play approaches every now and then a note of farce in the encyclopedic married life of Dolly and Edwin Burke, whose blance of tragedy in the troubles of Florence Bertrand, but the playwright, Edwin Burke, seems to have had sense enough to back away just in time to keep the plot on an even better place.
Plenty of witter cracks dot the script. Sam Kimble's character of Bertrand has many witty lines and speaks them well, as does Wightman as the millionaire from Peru. Costumes are well adapted to the terrain in a setting imitative of the last word in expressive apartments;

LAST HOME TILT LEAVES KANSAS IN TOUGH SPOT
Lawrence Five Must Win From Sooners To Keep Top Place in Big Six Conference
NOBLE MAY BE OUT
Jayhawker Star in Bed With Infected Elbow at Present
Rv William Fitzgerald, c.39
Kansas must win tomorrow night's game with Oklahoma if it expects to grab the undisputed conference championship. This fact is obvious when one glances at the Big Six standings and the remaining games on the schedule for the top three, Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Kansas has six victories and one loss, and Oklahoma all three have five victories and two defeats. Each team has three games remaining.
If the Sooners win, they have only Missouri and Iowa State left on their schedule and will probably finish up with eight victories and two defeats. Should Kansas lose, it still has North Carolina and Missouri to play on their home courts, and will have a tough time staying ahead of the pack.
Oklahoma Record Good
Okahama Record Good
The Okahamans have built up an impressive season's record which looks every bit as formidable as that of the Jayhawks. In non-competition competition, the Sooners have
won five out of six and have practically duplicated this mark in the conference, winning five out of seven. The I Jayhawks won seven out of nine冠中 cont-errior and have captured six out of seven conference lilts.
Oklahoma has an average of 789 for the season as compared to the mark of 812 compiled by Kansas. Kansas has a conference percentage of .597 compared to .493, leading the conference in hitting free throws with a percentage of .659 as compared to the 558 record of Kansas. The Jayhawkers have a game average of 34.8 points to their opponents' 271. Oakland has a game average of 34.9 offensive with a mark of 343 to its opponents' 30.4.
Sooner Victories Scarce
