Kappa Freshman To Call Down . . .
Rain Fails To Stop Parties . . .
Goll Gets Her Men . . . Standing
Difficulties. . . Air
Air Conditioners. . . No Bucks.
... Six Dates and No Breaks ...
A bunch of Kappa freshmen were having their daily study hall session in the library yesterday when one of the gals was tapped on the shoulder by a library attendant, who informed them that they would have to refrain from using the library. The girls with face reds, quietly turned to their books.
♦ ♦ ♦
Rain failed the dampen the spirit of the Hill population Saturday night as they had their final fling before finals. Dick Gossett and his boys, jamming a la Benny Goodman, wom appelate after applause from the dancers in the crowd. The weather was salty. The floor was much like glass (ask Dorothy Shearer). The Sigma Chi's outdoor airfare was a huge success, though it rained 24 hours before the party. The Sigma Kappa's competing against tremendous odds, attracted a lion's share of the Hill males with a floor show were tixed with the whole affair, because the floor-show "gals" ran off with all their dates.
Barbara Goll, from the house on the west end of the campus, was by far the most popular girl at the Sigma Chi hall. But she reported that every time one of their friends cut him, she花瓣 them with compliments. She seemed to have the boys going around in circles all week. They were so brave to be rather groggy before the finish.
Virginia Taylor, a Gamma Phi, found herself in a very embarrassing spot the other evening. It seems that she had a standing date with one fellow, but in a moment of weakness, acceptance allowed her to be one insisted that the date with number two be broken. When she failed to obey him, he politely told her he was through and walked out. As Virginia was walking down the street with number two, number one drove by in his car. She flipped off the Excite boy friend number two.
Elva Cheatum, Gamma Phi, and Jimmy Mieer, ATO., introduced a new way of riding to a formal party last Friday night, however, it came about because they were riding contained several other couples. After riding in this fashion for several blocks, Elva decided that things were getting too close inside the car and that she and Jimmie would have to protect them that they could cool off a bit before

Love and Sinus Equally Dangerous For Students
Love and sinus trouble are the most important reasons for students flunking out, according to one of the more prominent professors on the Bill. Equally dangerous and equally irritating, these two afflictions cannot be taken too seriously by students who wish to finish school.
Asked which of these two multibbles was the more common and caused the greater number of students to fail, Dr. Baldwin asked whether the number affected was equally divided between the two. Since the two very often accompany each other on this campus, still more logically of them than that caused that each tends to cause the other.
Take for example a hypothetical cost of love, Sleepless nights, frightful days and ever-present mental agnish bring about a seriously weakened condition From this point, a severe case of simul-trouble is but a step.
However, the reverse of this process is by far the most common. The poor unfortunate who happens already to have a severe case of simus trouble is any easy target for the sympathy of the opposite sex and we know how tough sympathy is. One thing leads to another and from there on—who "knows"?

Screen Contract Holds No Glamour For Peggy Anne
Governor's Daughter Not interested in Pictures; Talent Scout Files Report After Interview
"I never have had and never will have any screen aspirations," said Peggy Anne Landon, c'38, last night when questioned about the contract which the Universal Pictures were rumored to have offered her.
"I haven't had a word from the company," she continued. "The first I knew of it was early this morning when a reporter called me up to ask me about it I didn't sign a contract and I don't intend to."
Peggy Anne, along with several other University students, was interviewed last week by Miss Lourie Ryman, tailor of the Yankees. The Yankees Ryan had no power to make a definite contract with any student without the approval of her company. She visited with the applicants, tried them out and sent in their pictures, descriptions and text.
Booker Hinton.
It is believed that when the notes on Peggy Anne's wife with Miss Rionette received in Hollywood, the company there realized the publicity value of having the daughter of a prospective presidential-nominee on their string and made the most of it. The announcement of the contract came from the company's publicity director, John Leroy Johnston.
Looked Through Javhawker
Prof. Allen Crafton, in whose office the interview took place, said night hat that Miss Ryman looked through the issues of her work. She was there she was there and impaired about several persons whose pictures were printed. Miss Landon's picture was one of several that interested her, and someone who came to the office for an interview.
Doubt Publicity Stunt
When asked if he thought that Miss Rymait visit here was a deliberate attempt to involve Peggy Anne in a public stunt, he said, "No, I do not believe the scout came here just to get Peggy Anne into something. She seemed to be on the level. If it is a publicity stunt they did it in California."
Robert Harrison, c39, one of the University men considered by Miss Ryman as a prospective actor, stated last night that he had received no word from the company or anyone else concerning a contract.
Walter Bloch, C88, another one of the students interviewed, had heard nothing from Hollywood last night.
Will Finish School
Gov. ALL M. Landon informed the grass all night that Peggy Ameen's screen career would be limited to the newsreels and home movies. He wants her to finish her school work before she does nothing else.
Miss Riyan is in Iowa City at the present time continuing her search for tenure talent among the students at the University of Iowa. She planned to return to Kansas next November to have another look at the University men here.
All through her visit here last week, she paid little attention to women applicants and repeatedly stated that she might have the makings of a "star."

Odd Collection Of Chemical Tools Owned by Grad
Fred E. Shuler, a graduate of the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy, has received special notice in the chemical industry for his collection of mortars and pestles.
Mr. Shuler, who is now a professional pharmacist with his father in Kansas City, began his collection about 10 years ago while a student at the University of Kansas. The collection now consists of pieces, each with an interesting history.
Three unusual specimens are wooden mortars. Two are made of Lignum-vitale which is a hard tropical wood. One of these was used in a New England apothecary shop in 1790. The third specimen is made of hickory and was made
Bronze mortars make up a larger part of the collection, indicating by their design the century during which they were manufactured. Gothic design came from Denmark in 1885. Another was brought to Georgia by the French Huguenots in the seventeenth century. Still another of the bronzes came from an old market in Cuba.
Interesting in because of the part the played in American history are nine iron mortars which were used during the Civil War as melting pots to make lead slugs for the cap-and-ball rifles used at that time.
A large bell-mortar, weighing 22 pounds, was brought to the United States from Germany. However, its design originated in eighteenth-century Russian origin.
Berkeley, Cal., May 28—(UP)—University graduates of 1936 at last will begin to come into their own as far as jobs are concerned, according to the Bureau of Occupations of the University of California.
Job Outlook Is Brighter Now For Graduates
NUMBER 163
As a result of a nationwide survey of the leading American universities it is announced that all parts of the country have experienced a pickup ranging from 20 to 100 per cent for college and university graduates.
In addition, salaries will range from,
$5 to $20 a month more than the June
figures for 1935.
The Universities of Oregon, Washington and South Carolina report a demand for capable graduates averaging 100 per cent over that of last year, while the demand for certain categories is ever greater.
Heavy Gain in South
Heavy Gain in South The demand is heavy in the South, the Louisiana State University, local high school and the late Ses. Huey Long, reports the demand for graduates approximately four times greater than that of a year ago.
The unprecedented stimulus in building, which extends through the so-called "heavy industries," such as concrete timber, iron and steel, is making a sharply increased demand on engineering and technical institutions.
However, marketing and sales offer the most numerous openings, and the demand for accountants has increased sharply. The latter, especially, is interpreted as indicating a great increase in business activities.
Many Industries Surveyee
Insurance, investment and finance companies, oil concern, the rubber companies and makers of business machines are shown to be employing greatly increased numbers of graduates, record numbers of workers and a national Life Insurance Company.
The University of Pittsburgh reports one circumstance which may or may not have an effect on the employment situation. In some instances, inquiring employers do not take the students reefer to a job they know where, indicating that some "shopping around" is being done for the best available talent.
Grad To Tour Europe
John E. Clement, 35, who has been teaching in the McPherson high school since 1982, returned to Europe this summer, according to information recently received by the Alumun Association. He plans to see and play the Olympic games while he is in Europe.

Owl Society Draws New Officers From Cigar Box
Hoverstock, Cox, O'Riley and Coleman Elected by New Method; Only One President This Time
Climaxing a year's effort to eliminate politics from the organization, the Owl Society, junior man's honor society, met Sunday afternoon and elected officers for next year by pulling names from a cigar box.
The successful candidates in this ingenious election were: president, Newton Hovetock; vice-president, Martin O'Brien; O'Riley G. O'Riley; chancellor, James Coleman.
Politics first thrust its ugly head into public light last February after Ross Robertson had been elected president to fill a vacancy left when Arnold Gilbert withdrew from school in May 2014. Pascahacona members contested the election on the grounds that the necessary two-thirds vote had not been cast.
Threaten Black-Ball
But when P.S.G.L. members threatened to black-ball three prospective members if Robertson was evicted from his post, a compromise was reached by which John Phillips, Pachumacam, was also elected president. This gave the party more control over how the result was thought that political issues were settled. But news of this arrangement leaked out, and after both parties had attempted to justify the two president system, Phillips resigned amid a barrage of charges and counter charges in which each party attempted to fix the problem with the president combination on the other.
Elect New Members
When 22 new members were elected into the society last week, the political motif was again discarded, this time for good, say party leaders, and the successful candidates selected solely on a basis of national origin or character as the constitution provides.
The cigar-box election was a continuation of this non-partisan program. Owl leaders believe that next year the organization will be more active as the result of the new policy. The group has been a bit bry at participation in campus activities, for campus activities, the Owls believed, were shaded with politics, but since the organization has so effectively purged those who did not feel that the group is now free to carry out its awarded purpose of aiding in all worthy campus affairs.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, in a state-ment last night, commended the Student Court for its effort to discover the perpetrator of the gas bomb disturbance at the Peace mobilization last March.
Chancellor Lindley Lauds Student Court For Recent Action
He also said that even though the meeting was not authorized it was re-evoked, and that the privilege of free assemblage should be interfaced with.
The complete statement of Chancellor Lindley follows:
"The Supreme Court, functioning for the Men's Student Council, deserves a transfer to its role as perpetrator of the gas bomb disturbance. The mobilization meeting was unauthorized and was, therefore, calculated to attract the curious, irrelevant men."
Nevertheless, the interference with freedom of assembly is regrettable. Reports are unanimous to the effect that the speakers were serious and dignified in their presentation. They should have been trained to speak without annoyance.
"E. H. LINDLEY."
