Delegates To Attend Student Conference
An estimated thirty delegates from the University will attend the economic conference of the Rocky Mountain School of Medicine, which is attended at Manhattan.
NUMBER 86
Dr. O. E. Baker, senior agricultural economist of the Department of Agriculture, and Dr. W. E. Grimes, head of the department of economics at Kansas State College, will be the principal speakers at the conference. Rev. Joseph F. King, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, is also on the program at the conference.
The Nebraska basketball team lost to "Phon" Allen's rampant Jayhawkers Tuesday night, but they didn't make the trip to Lawrence for nothing. At least one of the players was at the Auditorium with dates. The two noticed were a good-looking unidentified sub and the stubby forward, Hale. Most of the team members left the Auditorium in taxis, but these two hewever moved two blocks up and then strolled jumily up the street with their dates.
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
Bob Doolittle, ATO, had his share of bad luck Tuesday night after the basketball game. He had borrowed a fraternity brother's car and was taking King's club little ride which turned into a big slide when they reached the hill by the Delta Tau house. Six or seven other cars had already carried the slide but Bob's borrowed car and another companion Bob started climbing up another the door so he stayed inside — Besides being brushed and shaken, he received a black eye which he was nursing with a piece of raw beef steak yesterday morning — Perhaps the saps in the pool made him unable to keep the late date he was to have had after taking Pardy home.
Suggestion: Instructor Wallace might awaken his 3:20 Economic History class and get the students in a receptive mood by giving a snuppy lesson on the life of Adam Early. Because there are two students in the class having those names.
Ruth Learned, Gamma Phi, wrote a letter to her "love" in California telling him that she was taking a three-hour course in Normal and Delinquent Child, and she immediately received a reply from the future husband advising her to discontinue the course and outline her study to only those things deemed necessary — the Normal Child.
Interest in singing mice has reached a new high since "Mickey's" debet over station WDAF, and Harry Moore, the second student reporting interest, told me that he heard one in his room but after an unsuccessful search decided that it must be in Dave Conderman's (his room mate's) hair, but he didn't bother to look because he didn't see the Conderman, who was asleep.

Yesterday's Best Quotation: "Life begins at 8:30."—Bill Fey.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1936
One student confined in the hospital carried out a novel idea for passing the time. He made a chart listing the names of all the nurses and after the names there were several columns, containing the guessing questions was done by the originator of the idea and several other students. In another column was the actual weight given by the nurses themselves. Then the students juggled figures and figured out the percentage error made by each individual participating in the guess-

Bishop McConnell Will Speak Here Sunday Evening
Francis J. McConnell, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the past 25 years, will speak on "Christianity and Social Action" as the next conventional speaker Sunday evening at 7:30 in the University Auditorium. McConnell, president of the Methodist Episcopal Federation for Social Service, is the author of more than 100 articles and books and the biography of Borden Parker Brown. For four years he was president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. McConnell served as a Methodist minister from 1894 to 1909, was president of De Paun University for the three succeeding years, and held the position as president of the Religious Education in 1916.

Bishop McConnell was the featured speaker of Religious Week here at the University Feb. 16-23, 1920, when he spoke on "Voices of the Times." Speaking at the depth of the 1929 depression, McConnell answered to those who believe the world is going to pieces." He characterized as "symptomatic utterances" the cries of "wrecked Musses." "It is a fine thing these questions are being asked today," he said; "they should have been asked sooner." He spoke of the "miserable suffering" is defending it as a good thing": "as the most significant movement of the times.

PROFESSOR ENGEL'S TRIP FEATURED IN MAGAZINI

No Leaps, No Bounds----
Nature doesn't move by leaps and bounds. And, for that matter, neither do or will our local athletic fortunes. But even though they be slow to change, they change.
Natura non facit saltum.
Two months ago the Daily Kansan published an editorial, entitled "Three Cards in a New Deal," setting forth three suggested changes which, it believed, if effected, would considerably better existing athletic conditions here.
1. Modification of Big Six rules, making possible the institution of a training table.
They were:
2. Creation of a School of Athletics with an administrator comparable to a dean, who would do no coaching, and with head coaches for all major athletics who would be responsible only to a person or persons who were not coaches of any sport.
The Daily Kansan believed that Big Six rules are archaic and obsolete and, therefore, are not and cannot be closely observed by any member of the conference. It believed that these rules overburdened athletes with undu scholastic and outside working requirements.
3. A more adequate coaching staff.
Further, partly because of the incumbance of these rules and partly because of the insufficiency of the coaching staff and the general lack of material, the alumni support was entirely inadequate and falling away. It claimed that there was little co-operation among the students, alumni, and the athletic department. All these factors together contributed to a number of successive unsatisfactory football seasons.
Big Six rules have not been modified and at the present there appears no probability of the institution of a training table.
Plans for a School of Physical Education have been projected. Whether they materialize remains a matter of conjecture.
These attractions should bolster alumni support and bringer a greater influx of material.
There has been an addition of two capable assistants to the football coaching staff.
Facing this committee is the problem of meeting a Physical Education corporation deficit.
Administrating the affairs of the revised setup is a committee of three whose members are Dr. W. W Davis, Dr. Raymond C. Moore, and Mr. George Nettels of Pittsburgh.
Between now and September this change must be well established and the financial difficulties righted if we are to have a well-rounded varsity athletic program.
Let us hope that those who have been placed in charge of the new setup will be successful. The Daily Kansan is happy to lend its support to this new venture.
"Looking at Pictures" will be the subject of Prof. Albert Bloch of the department of drawing and painting, when he opens the third annual series of museum lectures. This year, the course is 7:20 in Spencer Thayer museum.
R. C. Abraham, postmaster in the University post office, states that from Jan. 1, 1936 to Dec. 31, 1936, the students increased their correspondence over the same period the preceding year to a total of $494.58 in postage. If this amount were assumed to be spent on 3-cent letters only, this would mean an average week of about a week. The total amount for the 1936 period, excluding money orders, was $21,503.58 compared to $26,452.23 for the 1935 period
There will be a total of eight lectures in the series this year. They are sponsored by the department of education of the Lawrence School.
Dates of coming lectures and a tentative list of the speakers are:
Feb. 18—Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and drama at UW.
Feb. 23, Prof. Kael Matters of the department of Civil Engineering at the School of Engineering and Archi-
hature
March 30 — Prof. Rosemary
Ketchum of the department of
design.
March 23—Prof. J. M. Kellogg of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
March 16 Mis Marjorie Whitney instructor in crafts, department of design.
Topics of the later lectures have yet to be announced.
U. S. Camera Club Presents Graphic Display In Spooner-Thayer
INCREASE IN POST OFFICE
CREATED IN SALES DURING PAST YEAR
Abraham says that the largest amount was for the month of May, followed in order by March, September, and June. This includes the summer during the month of enrolment in the fall and again around graduation.
Comedy, tragedy, art in all its aspects from stark modernism to soft romantics are all represented in the salon exhibit of photography of the U.S. Cense club on display in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Cubes, hulls, and pieces of string,
taken separately or even in the
aggregate seem to offer little in the way
of an artistic design, yet one
photographer, using just such mundane
objects, created a thing of beauty
The light touch of comedy is supplied by the posed study of the foolish young man gizmo softly into a bunch of roses with an unmistakably business-like pistol sticking from his hip pocket.
To those interested in the techniques of photography the display in Spooner-Thayer offers much to study. To the amateur "picture snapper" the display may cause dismay, it may also suggest new and interesting possibilities that have not been thought of.
Many of the well-known photographers are represented in the exhibit with at least one picture. Some of the photograph are obviously designed for commercial purposes, yet the striking manner in which the photographer has handled his material has resulted in interesting pictures.
The versatility of the camera in the hands of experts is graphically displayed by the exhibit. Objects and scenes that offer nothing in particular to photograph are now something new when reproduced from the angles made possible by the camera.
Boston, Feb. 3. — (UP)—Guillem罗
Hall, 75-year-old professor at Boston University, who once told his male students to marry only a "perfect 38," and not to ask for any different subject, and had them ready for publication at all the same time.

Executives Deadlocked After Six-Hour Parley
Detroit, Feb. 3,—(UP) - John L. Lewis, chief of law for the Industrial Organization, and William S. Knudson, executive vice-president of General Motors corporation, has announced his face conference to reach a basis for peace negotiations in the five-weeks-old General Motors strike.
Governor Frank Murphy said the conferences could be resumed at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
"We have had 44 hours of cordial and I think judicial conference," the governor said. "Both were been fair in trying to be helpful."
Lewis and Kroubon referred newspaper men to the governor. The General Motors executive when asked, "Is everything settled?" He did not a thing" as he later injured him. "Do the concerned chamber."
Murphy, cloaked with special authority to act for President Roosevelt to end the strike before further blooded, submitted a dial proposition to the executives of capital and labor.
From Knibson to be demanded.
Recognition of the United Auto
mobile Workers of America as
the sole agency concerned in the dis-
ciple.
From Lewis he asked:
Removal of all sit-down strikers from the General Motors property on the governor's assurance, backed by the National Guard, that protection will not be required or maintained for permanent settlement. It took only an hour and a half this morning to submit the proposal. It took 4½ hours of uninterrupted negotiations to arrive at a access to property.
Murphy said that he would be busy tonight with James Dewey, federal conciliator. This and the governor's cheerful demeanor was believed to indicate there had been some progress toward a deal, but that the mediators had something concrete to work over tonight.
