A mild furor is being caused by the recent news about the woman who writes themes for a decent living. Several professors, as a result, are required to write them for others, while others are asking them to make a statement to the effect that their themes are their own work. Students have a different slant on the whole affair. They would like to know if address or business hours of the lady.
According to a reliable source, another sorority will close its doors at the end of this semester and no longer keep its house open. This year there are more than 40 sororities in the house, and the high cost of a chapter could not be met by their meager treasury. The national chapter of the same organization already had taken away their charter so they were ready to start a new fraternity is angling for the house.
A contract recently let by a club in Oklahoma City asked for Red Blackburn of K. U, and 12 musicians. Does that mean they do not consider the band leader to be a musician or don't they care who the others are?
The real reason for the peculiar step that Dorothy Kennedy executed at the midweek variety is out. She had made a bargain with John Milton Philips, new M.S.C. president, that he would be 'in love' to the other one at that dance who将被 privileged to see the person thus caught, sit on the floor and kick his heels, Phillips pulled a form one and advance on the unsuspecting Kennedy. John then followed the KuKu's on hands and knees so that he would not be deceived by the audience. He stood up and shouted the crack. Kennedy paid off the lost bet by doing the dance on the floor.

Washington, D.C., May 18. — (UP)—The Guffey coal conservation act fell before the supreme court today in a sweeping 6- to 3 decision that held the bill unconstitutional and apparently doomed further New Deal attempts to regulate industry or control relations without constitutional change.
Just 10 years ago in New York City a group of University men walked proudly away from a national glee club contest carrying third prize. Those robe made up the new famous K. U. murex costume, and the triumph goes, the club might have won first place had it not developed a sudden case of stage fright during the rendition of the first song and stopped in the middle of it. But even with this handicap, it went on to wilt third place, then lost in an college dance, "I'm a Jawhawk."
In the Guffey case the supreme court held that mining was not an interstate transaction. On this basis, the court ordered the mining company props that hold up the Guffey act.
Singers Who Suffered Stage Fright Will Hold Reunion Commencement Week
This blow at the administration's efforts to stabilize conditions in the coal industry followed swiftly a decision in the District of Columbia Court of Appels holding that President Roosevelt's allocations of relief funds to Bexford Tagwell's Resettlement Administration were unconstitutional.
The spring, as a part of Commencement week activities, this glee club, one of the most outstanding in the history of the University, will return to celebrate its tenth anniversary, and to sing for two Commencement functions, the Baccalaureate services and the alumni dinner.

Landon Urges Youth of America To Face Problems
Warns Against Leaders Who Lack the Courage of Common People in Attica Address
Speaking before the commencement class of the Attica high school and also to a nationwide audience, the Kansas governor warned against "leaders, both public and private, who lack the courage of the common people."
His address was something of an answer to President Rosevelt's recent message in the East.
Attica, Kan., May 18.—(UP)—Governor Alfred M. Landon tonight urged American youth to meet the complex problems of the depression with courage and confidence, and promised them as a reward “a new and finer” nation.
“There are too many prophets preaching the doctrine of despair,” Landon said. “One such gentleman even went so far as to say there are millions of Americans now alive who will never again be self-sacrificing.”
"Such a doctrine might have a grain of truth in it if we were living in an old country whose resources have been exhausted. But in a youth and rich countier, ours, your own house sense will tell you such a doctrine is sheer nonsense.
"We have no place in America for quitters. Quitters did not make Kansas. They did not make America. Now the first victory for you to win, the first victory for all of us is to get back our future and future in the future of America."
