VOLUME XXXIV
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
Some people really take their finals seriously. Witness Bill Ferguson, Sig Alph, and man-and-the-butler Rachel McElroy. The Ed里克会 have can peace and quiet to study for finals. It must be wonderful to have plenty of money in order to avoid your noisy brothers. (Sig Alph also takes
Virginia Varga, Gamma Phi mentioned in this column yesterday as having her pledge pin out, has earned a name for herself among her sisters. It is "learn to be" her goal; and the girls at her house don't let her forget it for a minute. It seems the moniker was tacked on after she had spent several evenings in the pledge dorm telling the freshmen how to "love em up!" and talking to themselves, step up and listen. They'll probably just be wondering what material was covered in lesson number three
Now we know why george (Easter) Baskett makes such good grades—the studies at the Street Car between classes. Your reporter hears that his favorite text is Dante's "inferno." Quite appropriate figure than "Easter" would have told us several things about that topic.
--the targets fired on will then be sent to corps area headquarters not later than March 21, where they will be judged by the commanding general in charge of all national judge will be the chief of infantry.
The Sour Owl is starting on their annual "fascinating he-alleduring" contest again. The Shin wishes to say that they think Phil (Barrymore) Stratton is better. We'll be afraid to haunt the news room now, because we can just see Stratton (the Cinderella man) after us with a club.
Earliest returns on examinations show that one resident of Corbin hall possesses the unchallenged reputation of "pulling the fastest one." The young lady had lost her notebook in which she had all her formulas, equations, and what have you for working trigonometry problems. Upon returning to school, she asked in her triq quiz, she wrote on a piece of paper, "I can't work these problems. I've lost all my natural functions."
Under the leadership of Carl Smith, the student's friend, a group of dissatisfied students paraded into the class room of Professor A. M. Lee of Sociology and Newspaper fame yesterday, learning a huge placard upon which was printed in large black letters;

Prof. Jennings set an example for the rest of the professors on the Hill to follow when he told his Transportation class to bring their textbook. He then said that education in order to save the time and effort of writing up crib notes.
NUMBER 82
More evidence that finals carry some meaning was disclosed Tuesday night when we were told that not a single University student put in an appearance at the Street Car in the vicinity of Haskell.
Rifle Team Will Compete
Men's Team Enters Battle for W. R Hearst Trophy
It was announced yesterday that the men's rifle队 will compete for the William Randolph Hearst rifle team trophy.
Competition will be divided into three classifications: high school, junior college and military schools, and secondary schools. Competition will be conducted on a national-wide scale.
Each competing school will enter a five-man team, and every member will deliver one shot upon a bull's eye target from each of four positions prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing.
Coal Consumption
Last Week Greatest
Of The Year
More coal was burned in the power plant last week than during any other week this year, according to C. G. Beley, apprentendent of buildings and grounds. Four hundred twenty-five tons were consumed, averaging 60 tons per day, as compared to 387 tons the week before.
The University hurts approximately 175 carloads of coal each year. A reserve of more than 2000 tons is kept on hand to tide the University over in case of emergencies due to coal shortage or strikes.
Although there were five fewer buildings in 1924, 1200 more tons of coal were burned than last year. This was the first time that coal was used in cement and more efficient management.
Flood waters Wreak Havoc In Nine States
Believe Damage Exceeds
$5,000,000 in Ohio,
Kentucky, and
Indiana
By The United Press
A turbulent sea of flood waters wept across sections of nine states ordering the great Ohio and lower Mississippi valleys Thursday night, umbrellas 130,000 refugees and uncounted billions of dollars property damage.
The waters, raisent relentlessly from,
continues rising, spread their expanse
and poured waters into metropolitan
plains. Images already have been inundated
Government observers directing efforts of WPA crews and thousands of volunteers to check the rush be-liowed damage already exceeded $5,000,000 in the tri-state area of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.
Army engineers concentrated on rescuing persons marooned in lowlands near Kenneth, Mo., and abandoned hope of stemming the tide of the St. Francis river which smashed over levers in half a dozen places.
About 600 person were stranded in the upper floors of homes and barns along a 30-mile waterfront from Kennett to Cardwell.
It was estimated that 200,000 acres of land were under water.
Breeakers plied back and forth across the murky waters in motor-boats. Shivering users were bunched up, and taken to home on high lands.
Influenza and pneumonia threatened refugees, scantily clad and without adequate food.
Red Cross units were organized throughout the entire mid-western watershed and issued appeals for medicine, food and clothing. Coast guardmen were rushed to critical points with boats and necessities.
president's Ball Jan. 30
Dance Will Be Held In Memorial Union Building
in some day walk, students and citizens of Lawrence will dance on Jan. 30 in the Memorial Union building.
Formerly, two dances have been held in Lawrence—one on the Campus and one down town—but this year the committee in charge has decided to hold only one dance. The other will play has not yet been chosen.
President Roosevelt's birthday has been celebrated in this way. Similar dances, parties, or balls, will be held in almost every event of the nation. Many will go to the aid of sufferers of infantile paralysis.
Seventy per cent of the proceeds will remain in Lawrence to be distributed by the local committee. The remaining 30 per cent is sent to the national committees in charge of the dances for use at the Warm Springs Institute, Ga. Where President Rosewood brings his way back to health.
Roger Williams, local chairman of the committee for the dance, announced today that arrangements have been made by the national committee with the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies for birthday greetings to be sent to President Roosevelt at a flat rate of $10 in the mail. All of the money taken in as payment for these messages will be handed over to the Warm Springs foundation.
Texas Officials Agree to Bible's Contract Terms
$18,000 Salary Rumored For Ten-Year Period; Will Sign Papers In Future
Austin, Jan; 21—(UP) - Dana X Bible, football coach at the University of Nebraska and former president of the National Association of Football Coaches, tonight said that he would accept the position of athletic director and head football coach at the University of Texas here.
Bible will not formally sign contract with the Texas institution until he has conferred with Nebraska officials, be said, and an agreement has been reached on all terms of his contract at Texas.
"We have had a fine conference in Austin. The conditions presented are satisfactory and all groups are in accord I prefer to appear before Nebraska authorities before formal interview and request conference with Chancellor Burnett and the Athletic Board Saturday."
Bible's new contract will cover a 10-year term and reports were that his salary will be $18,000 a year. The contract included the following:
H. H. Wernet, chairman of the athletic committee of the University board of regents, made the following statement:
Neither Bible or the Texas Athletic Board would reveal what the salary terms were. One of the difficulties of bringing Bible to Texas had been the reluctance to pay a $20,000 salary many of the professors were earning.
The Athletic Council of the University of Texas has recommended, and the board of regents has approved the terms and conditions that must be followed by Dana X. Bible as athletic director and head football coach."
"The salary is commensurate with the responsibilities and the tenure is 10 years. We accept his acceptance of the contract within a few days."

of the departments of the University have their own efficient employment and contact bureau, there is a large number of students in the College who have not the benefits of such aid, and he asks that they keep in contact with the Alumni office.
He cites the fact that only yesterday, he arranged the interview of some students with a representative of the Burroughs Adding Machine to try to employ them for his company. "This is a common occurrence," he added.
"We are frequently able to place graduates, or under-graduates who have been unable to finish school, in responsible positions," he said, "and until such time as the University may establish a bureau to act as this capstone institution, university, or those who have been unable to get their degrees, keep in contact with us. We shall extend every bit of aid we can."

JAYHAWKERS PLAY ICHABODS DURING EXAMS
Return Game Will Show Both Teams Playing An Improved Brand of Ball
OUT TO BEAT K. U.
Washburn Lineup Is Much Stronger with Vigola at Forward
Washburn was the first opponent in the Kansas schedule this year and gave the Jayhawks a battle before losing 26 to 30. That game was a typical early-season contest on both teams, playing on the part of both teams.
The Jayhawker quintet, after a week of tilts with final exams, will play a return game with Washburn College at Topeka tomorrow night at 7:30. in the Washburn field house.
The Kansas team has come a long way since that game, and in the first three Big Six games has reached a brand of ball comparator to that of championship teams or as year starting for the team. The other is either Schmidt or Holiday at forwards, Wellhausen at center, with Praille and Nate at guards
Washburn by the addition of Vi-ga, flashy forward, who football fans will remember for his sparkling performance in the leached-Jayhawk football game, and by other shifts in the lineup has a much stronger lineup than the one that started the first game earlier in the season.
The Ichabbs haven't had such a successful season, and have lost close teams to several strong teams including Drake and Kansas State Teachers of Pittsburg. Coach "Dee" Erickson hopes for a change of Washburn luck that will put those one-to-five-point margins on the Ichabd side.
The Washburn lineup for the game will probably include Vigola and Schultes; forwards; Brown, center; Rookam and Schlichter, guards. Schultes is the high scorer of the team and is a hard man to guard. Vigola is as fast on a backboard and he manages to inject the old "pepper" into a game. Brown is a rangy sophomore, who has scored consistently.
Of course it is more or less a season's objective for a team to beat the Jayhawks at basketball. This desire, coupled with a determination to play well, will produce a will to win that will be hard for the Jayhawks to overcome.
This will be the last game before Nebraska comes here next semester for a very important Big Six game on Feb. 2.
Band Association Asked To Hold Festival Here
Dean D. M. Swarthout, of the School of Fine Arts, and Russell M. Wiley, director of the KU, band, will go to Kansas City tomorrow to attend a meeting of the directors of the Midwest Band Festival and will reiterate the invitation previously given the National School Band association to hold its Midwestern festival at the University. The probable dates are May 18-21. 8. Mr. Wiley received the mid-west trip in Urbana, and there first invited the mid-west trip to Lawrence.
The national association has determined to substitute ten regional festivals for the single national affair, since it was found that no matter where the festival was held, the greater number of bands from other countries would be rounding up. Expense was too great for mere bands to make long trips.
Mr. Wiley hopes the first regional festival for this part of the country, including Kansas, eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa, will come here. He estimates 4000 will attend.
