on the SHIN

Beauty Is Revived With Last Minute Pollting . . Kappa Sig Amateures Robbed. Say Kappa Sig's . . It Happened One Night . . Frat Boy Leaves Clue and in Hurry . .
My unmitigated remorse of the last few days, caused by receiving no votes in the ON THE SHIN beauty contest disappeared like a thunder shower with the downturn of bulletins that reached the Shin on its way. I say a fatal mistake has been made. The votes in the contest had been misplaced, and hadn't reached me. Now the contest must be revived. Three girls have received one vote each, while another, a freshman, has received the surprising total of 61. The winner of the contest will be announced to termine the girl with the most beautiful features, will be announced Sunday. And I was feeling sorry for myself thinking that this column wasn't read.
The Kappa Sig's are wondering if the recent contest at the Granada theater was crooked. That frat had a brass quartet entered in the competition and claims their entry was applauded and the judge declared it a contempt of the moustache contest. The A. D. Pi, wins the event, however, with their vocal trio. Since Bill Cochrane goes with one of the A. D. Pi girls, and was also one of the judges in the contest, the Kappa Sig boys would like to know why they should be on the court. My suggestion is that the only ones who clapped were the Kappa Sig's or perhaps the quartet was so susceptible to appease that they rushed onto the stage at the slightest provocation.
It Happened One Night: A car was seen driving through South Park, lights out, following the devious wintings of the sidewalk. That might prove dangerous with the county jail in the background. The rabbit that lives under the Journalism building steps, was shot at the other night. Fortunately, the bunny was missed completely. The rabbit was sitting on the walk near the hospital when the shot missed the balloon bounced off the hospital wall, missing three bounding hops.

Pickling flowers in the spring is, of course, quite the thing, but these individuals selected South Park to do their picking; and this act has made them aides being illegal. Thus when the police received a call from an observer, they dispatched in a hustle a member of the police committee. They were also smoking students stand in a shabby line.
Over 4,000 Invitations Sent Out Telling of Annual Parents' Day Celebration
Under threat of incarceration in the town stir, the students gave their names and after much deliberation it was decided that Lawrence had enough students for one town, anyway, and they were forced to give them on hand. Therefore they were piled into their trucks and shipped back to Topeka.

Massachusetts Primary Evokes Landon Commen

The statement was noteworthy because Landon hereforeto has refused comment concerning his boom. He has refused to enter his name on the prefereed list because he thought it would be an expression of the voters as "an approval of an administrative record which means to him a contrast to that of the New Deal."
