on the SHIN by 'Flash' Morris
One night during vacation while attending a dance at Mission Hills in Kansas City for which Louie Kauhn's orchestra was playing. Joseph *Moses* Molinaro, Delta Tau, grew sentimental, was completely carried away, and decided to announce his friendship with Eddie Singleton, a band member, and his desire. Eddie had the play "Delt Shelter" and announced that Miss Virginia Gatechell of Kansas City, and "Moses" were engaged. Next day "Moses" called several girls but each one had heard of his engagement and would have nothing to do with him. He is still having trouble explaining to the satisfaction why he chose to be engaged or why the announcement should be made at that particular time or place.
George Snyder, campus cop, has an expression of fear upon his face and is performing his daily tasks somewhat nervously. We are told that George was on duty every day during vacation and read a variety of "Blood and Thunder" stories to pass the time. He became such a profuse reader that he is living what he read and cannot regain his former poise.
With vacation came new flooring for the College office which is of mule and was formerly the flooring in old Snow hall. Many students are requested to visit certain solos of this office at various times during the winter when they skip, and jump into the office, but rather the slow shuffle and drag come out, after "being told," that causes excess wear and tear on the floors.
Numerous K.U. students were seen helping bring in the New Year in Kansas City, Martin's, Hotel Baltimore, Twelfth street, and even the Union station (one department), were exceptionally well patronized. Slot machines and green felt tables prospered as customers while others were content to sleep on benches. New toasts were heard and copied down on napkins. Things happened—some brave soul even suggested eating breakfast!

Laws Lead Nation In Academic Standards
The School of Law at the University is loading the nation in academic standards. This fact was given by Dr. William L. Burick, dean, in 1982, that accompanied the biennial report of Chancellor Lindley.
The standards of the American Bar association and the Association of American Law Schools require that students in the University of Kansas has for several years required three. In the fall of 1958, by requirement of the Kansas Supreme Court, law students must take a bar examination before entering the law school.
"At the present time, more than 25 per cent of our own students are college graduates," says Dean Burdick. He also announced that just recently the law faculty passed a regal motion to raise standards for graduation Previously, the minimum for a degree was a "C" average in three-fourths of the student's credit hours. Beginning with the graduating class of 1938, a straight "C" average must be made. The School of Law faculty lately modified the curriculum to increase the number of courses offered in the liberal arts, labor and competition and activities centering about the federal trade commission are being given special attention in these courses.

London, Jan. 4. — (UP) — British alarm, because of development in Spain, increased tonight when London heard that Italy had sent 10,500 more troops to swell the rebel armies of the peninsula.
Nations Tense Over Spanish Complications
The government, meanwhile, was increasingly hostile towards the rebels, who late Saturday fired on the British freighter, Black Hill. No interference with British traffic on will be tolerated, it was ascertained.
These reports closely followed others that a large force of Germans also had landed at Cadiz.
Thus Spain's quarrel has become in fæt—if not in name—an international war.
As London awaited a reply from the rebel General Francis France to Sir Henry Chilton's vigorous protest against the Black Hill incident, the government's attitude was stated thus:
"Whenever doubt arises as to whether a British vessel is carrying arms or munitions to Spain, it is for the British navy, not for any foreign authority, to take appropriate action."
Officials said that an apology from the rebel junta would "receive a suitable welcome."
Washington, Jan. 4- (UP)—A sudden change in plans to guard American neutrality in the Spanish civil war, was indicated tonight with suggestions that Congress would be asked to pass a resolution authorizing the president to place an embargo on shipment of arms to Spain. The Senate Foreign Relations committee, said that he was considering whether to introduce specifically naming the Spanish conflict instead of offering immediately a proposed amendment to make the neutrality act applicable to all civil wars. That means when there would be more time to threath out the details, particularly in regard to defining "civil war."
Bilboa, Jan. 4. —(UP) —Loyalist airplanes today shot down three German planes which attempted to bombard the baque capital at Bilboa. One fell near Bilboa and two in the vicinity of Villa Reel.

Film Reproduction Used
The film method of reproduction is beginning to come into general use. It is now being used in all kinds of commercial and educational difficult for the ordinary person to have access to. Rare books, old manuscripts, newspapers and magazines and unpublished documents are being made available through films. Instead of poring over books in linen, paper or plastic cases in room, and through the use of a specially constructed projector may throw the film on a screen, read their material and take notes from
Much of Schellenberg's work consists of moving picture camera photography for research in the fields of the different social sciences. He has assisted in recording on the celluloid film 286,000 pages of material offered in the NRA and AAM. This material is Washington. This material is now available in films to all students interested in such documents.

Collisions Mar Student Vacations
The new year commenced with partial disaster for four University of Kansas students, when the car in which they were returning to school following the Christmas holidays struck a rock on the highway near Blaireville Pa., and plunged through the side-rail margining the pavement. The accident occurred at 5 p.m. Jan. 1.

it. The film can be regulated for timing and stopped at will.
This new method is now being operated successfully in some of the country's larger libraries. In the future, it is expected that students will be able to read books in their own reading in this manner. The film copies, or micro-photography, are ow in cost, require small storage space and are permanent. These points are emphasized in an article titled "The recent issue of the "Library Journal"."
Stack Space Needed
Stack Space Needed
In his annual report written by C. M. Baker of the need of stack spaces in Watson library.
The shelf space required by the pound volumes of newspapers may be compared to the shelf space needed by the films. One year's issues of the New York Times requires ten shelves. Reproduced on movie films, the same material can be stored in a 16-inch hardcover-bundrel of that space. As for permanency, the newspaper paper begins to deteriorate within a few years. The collodil film, it properly stored, may be kept for 56 years and then refiling at small cost.
Weather
Partly cloudy to cloudy; snow flurries in extreme west; severe cold wave Tuesday; Wednesday generally fair, continued cold.

Approve Suggestions
Among the repairs that were suggested by the Board of Regents and approved. Sunday by the athletic board itself are:
1. The replacement of the post of athletic director by a committee of three members.
2. The elimination of all coaches or employees of the department of physical education as members of the athletic board.
3. The removal of the Chancellor as president of the board. The Chancellor will remain, however, a member of the athletic council.
4. Each coach will be responsible for the conduct of, and in complete charge of, his own activities.
It was understood that the report adopted by the Board of Regents was only a temporary measure and that other charge will be made in the
The University-Athletic Board in its meeting Sunday approved the Regrents' resolution, but not unanimously.
5. The institution of a four-year course with a degree in physical education and the recommendation that Dr. Forrest C. Allen be installed as head of that department.
Chancellor Lindley, following Sunday's meeting, said that the new plan would be adopted gradually during the next semester and that a committee had been selected to formulate an organization of the committee of three.
Plans will be launched at once for the institution of the coaching school in order that it may be ready for next fall.
Allen Still Coach
Dr. Allen, who has been director of athletics at the University for the past 16 years, will be retained as coach of basketball, but will have no authority in administering football or any other sport.
Since no employee of the physical education department may be a member of the athletic board, Dr. Allen will have been stripped of his position with that body. Dr. James Naismith must also leave the board.
The new plan is similar to a recommendation made last week by Doctor Allen for the governing of athletics at the University. It has been revised and updated edition of his system now employed at Lehigh University.
The resolution passed by the Regents was construed as a denouncement of the work of the athletic department and used line for it to follow in the future.
The committee created by the Regents will have full charge of the budgets and will approve the schedules in the various sports. The burial of the University, Karl Klooz, will be his business manager of athletics.
Members of the committee of three will include the faculty representative to the Big Six conference as chairman and two members of the present athletic board, one of whom shall be a member of the faculty and the other an alumnus of the University.
The committee is to report to the athletic board at least every two months.
No Statement by Allen
Last night Dr. Forrest C. Allen said,
"I have nothing to say regarding the
new athletic set-up."
It was understood that at Sunday's meeting of the athletic board Doctor Allen continued to call "completely unacceptable" behavior by the Kansan be under censorship.
It was also understood that the board commented on Doctor Allon's
