With trumpets braying and spirit-sagging, the band came back to the Campus after a tour in which they captivated the hearts and souls of 30 students. A member of the band fainted three times in one night at Pratt, while still another had a (censored) time reading the Denver Post list 1.30 lbs on ebb at night or the boys spent their vacations from programs in dwarf ways to their own living.
Dean Brooks tells of going into a **9** restaurant in Dodge City and having the waitress say, "Big Boy. I've been waiting for you to come in all afternoon. Let's and I have you a date to see." The woman says that Dean says that the friendness of the women was one of the more remarkable discoveries of the trip.

The technical department of the Sigma Chi had a difficult time figuring out just how the roar of water was heard. They learned by the Intramural carnival. You will remember that their act was a scene in the Sigma Chi shower. Since there was no water on the stage, a problem arose. How to get the sound effect of a wave? The masters brilliant minds thought to run a microphone down to a convenient place beneath the stage and transmit the noises from there. A property man set up one-stage one-chaniens necessary to get the wake while the show went on.
In sudden confusion, one of the inmates hurted. "No mam, have you?"

Recover Mangled Bodies of Eleven Air Crash Victims
Only Three Survive When Airline Strikes Side of Mountain Near Pittsburgh
Unattown, Penn, Apr. 7 (UP) — The mungled, burned bodies of 11 men, killed today when a transcontinental air fire crashed into a mountain, were brought together by stretches and waggles and a snow atom to the Mt. Summit Hotel.
The three survivors of the 14 men and women aboard the ill-fated plane were brought to Union hospital.
They were Miss Kelly Granger, 23, of Garbau, Penn, stewardess of the plane and a heroine of the disaster; Mrs. Meyer Ellenstein, wife of the plane; and Michael O'Neill, where the plane began its last flight; and C. G. Hallman, Cleveland, Ohio.
Race With Sun
The plane, which left Newark at 7:45 a.m. on a daily race with the sun to California, was missing for hours after she landed in the area of aviation; before a frantic telephone call by Mass Granger from a farmhouse informed the world of the event.
Airline officials said a "faulty radio cam" combined with stormy foggy weather caused the crash.
Both pilots and the other more *nose* senger were killed at the impact, Must Granger said. The plane then burst into flames. She dragged out the bone woman passenger and Challion before the intense heat drove her away. Then she staggered to the telephone and told the blood-spattered flaming plone of the mountain side, rapidly becoming the firefury for the dead occupants.
Rescue parties fought their way through blinding snow and abet to the plane, which was heading straight away through brush and it was hours after word of the tragedy was received before the first body was brought out. The plane crashed about noon, Miss
Air line officials who hurried here by plane, established temporary headquarters at the hotel. The garage was turned into a temporary morgue. The telephone calls, seeking information about those who rode the death ship.
TWA identified the dead passengers. The plane left New Jersey on Thursday and was scheduled to stop at Camden, New Jersey it was done at Pittsburgh, Penn, at 10:23. The plane radiated the heat from its engines and that he would try to reach Columbia, Ohio That was the last word from the ship until Miss Gerlang telephoned of the
Pilots Were Veterans
Bad weather developed after the ship left Newark. The weather bureau reported "hazardous flying conditions" over the entire Allegheny region, with sleet and ice on the way. This is what Chef Pilot Ferguson encountered near Pittsburgh and with a failing radio, incidentally caused by a thunderstorm through to Columbus, Ohio. He said the weather was "closing in" and that no more was heard from him.
Both plots of the illfated plane were veterans. They had piloted TWA planes more than four years and the company rated them highly.
First indications that disaster had overtaken the ship came from a WPA worker who telephoned from the Summit hotel near here that a plane had crashed. He did not identify the actual news came from Mgr Granger.
Prof Albert Bloch Gives Lecture on Art
In an art lecture last night in Spooner-Tray museum, Prof. Albert Bloch, head of the department of drawing, taught me about contemporary painting. His subject, "Back to the Soil," dealt with the large number of American painters who are depicting scenes of farm and fireside. The subject is by no means new and that it does not matter what the artist paint if he is capable of doing it. He believes that it is unjust to object to a painter's subject, that the source of the impute is by no means a professional. Professor Bloch defined art as "the skill to make a thing with the hands," and an artist as "any skilled worker." He stated that the words "art" and "industry" were important but did not attain their present meaning until about 100 years ago.
'We Have Millions of Rabbits But Not One Easter Egg,' Says Zoo Keeper
Larence, kansus.
Annul. 9
Deer Mr. Editor
Is it true that there is no Easter eggs. Mamma says the little bunnies lay them for good little boys like me?
Please answer.
Your little friend.
Please ansur.
Georgie Guernsey
(It should be all right to print the truth about Easter rabbits in a university paper because college students should know the truth by now.) No Georgie, rabbits do not lay eggs at Easter or any other time of the year. It is just one of the things you self-respecting rabbids does if he wants to keep his ears fluffed up. You can literally egg-lay rabbits along with baby-carrying storks and gift-giving Santa Clauses. We hate to disillusionn it out, but it is just one of those things

He added that he hardly expects any of his rabbits to come through with any eggs this year since eggs are taxed and rabbits aren't.

Light City Vote Assures Library Addition
A light city vote yesterday was sufficient to pass a proposal to issue $19,250 worth of general obligation bonds, to be used with federal money to construct the library. The election was also the off-year election for two-year council offices, which were uncontested in the四 of the six wards. Small interest was shown except in the second and sixth wards. The other wards was considered exceptionally small.
In the second ward Boyd L. Bryant,

the race. The sixth ward had several write-

A federal grant of $15,750 has been obtained to go with the bond money, and will be used to provide repair money as well as additional book space. The bonds are payable over a ten-year period.
Spanish President Ousted By Popular Front Motior
defists Say Zamora Dissolved Last Parliament by Illegal Means
Madrid, April 7—(UP) - Niceto Alcalza Ana Ramora was ousted from the presidency of the Spanish Republic tonight when Parliament overwhelmed passed a popular front motion declaring he illegally dissolved the last Parliament.
The vote was 238 to 5.
First President
Diego Martinez, Barrio, speaker for Parliament, automatically became temporary president and will serve until the new chief executive is elected.
Zamora was elected the first president of the new Spanish Republic on Dec. 11, 1931, after the overthrow of Alfonso XIII on April 14 of that year. Between April and December, Zamora served as provisional president and guided the young revolutionary government.
The Spanish constitution empowers the chief executive to dissolve two parliaments during his tenure. Zamora was first president dissolved the constitutional parliament which was established after the overthrow of the monarchy but was dismissed another parliament. This was just prior to the general election.
Popular front or left adherents won a sweeping victory Tarmon, a devout Catholic, not in sympathy with left-policies and thus incurred their incarceration.
Today's action was the equivalent of a left wing parliamentary revolt against the white-haired revolutionary leader. The leftists contended that Zamora in addition to dissolving the last parliament, also had forbidden his sons as chiefs of state because he was not eligible to guide the republic. Zamora maintained he had not exhausted his dissolution privileges. He pointed out that the present parliament is only the second ordinary cortes of the republic and that the constitution has been changed so that it did not refer to the cortes which he dissolved shortly after his election.
