Jencks Shoots Engineers Try To Bomb Law Building
Explosive Found On Law School Steps; Deans Shaad and Burdick Reported As Not Speaking
Dean William L. Burdick of the Law Barn has declared his intentions of ignoring Dean George C. Shaad of the Engine College the next time he meets him, whether it be on the street or in the quiet purificus of a meeting of the executive council of the University.
The cause for the unprecedented severance of social and professional relations between the two well known members of the K.U. faculty was uncovered by a Kansan reporter after long hours of snooping for the news last night.
It seems that some of Dean Shaud's proteges have been playing
relative to the design and manufacture of a new type of bomb. From just whose brilliant engineering mind the idea originated is not clear. But the design was taken to Fohrer shape which was made it up.
Then, wishing to see whether the new brain-child would work, a likely spot was hunted for in which to give the bounce a chance to do its stuff.
Slide Rules Used
The new bomb is (was) a timed after. That is, the operator merely hits it with the bomb, placed it carefully in the spot where it would be the greatest amount of damage, walked on nonobviously, his car (the operator)'s cars with cotton.
The foregoing procedure was duly carried out after it had been determined by the aid of the many slide rules over in the engine school that the Law Barn would prove, the most likely spot to which to try out the new bomb.
The only trouble with the whole experiment, from the engineer's point of view, was that the dingus didn't go off on schedule. It was discovered hidden behind one of the tall Grean columns that grace the front porch of the cabin late last night as the last sleep-eyed blower the barn after sleeping hours.
He heard a ticking and upon investigation uncovered the whole disarrayly plot. A number of the laws are reported to be contemplating an amendment that would change the whole body of engine college students. The case will, if filed, he tried in the practice court in the basement of the Law School. He will be judged as it would be a criminal case.
Shaad Claims Partiality
Facing such an action, Dean Shad is reported to be working wellly to secure a change of venue as he claims the judge would be partial.
The engineers, hearing of the steps about to be taken by the lawyers, with characteristic and forthright determination, are able to handle hands and have issued a challenge to the laws to participate in a hand to hand combat in the confusion of Powder
Chancellor Lindley is reported to have frowned on the prospect of having the natural beauty of Powder Grove be given more attention by engineers or engineers. As the Kansas went to press this morning, no further word of the outcome of the tense situation that promises to involve all departments of the University was announced by the Law Bar or the Engine College
Campus Dramatic Club To Play 'Strange Interlude
The K.U. Dramatic club has announced that it will produce an extra play this season. It has selected "Strange Interlude" by Eugene O'Neill, a production that run for many months on Broadway and proved a great favorite with the theater-joining public. The cast has not been entirely selected but everyone will have been chosen carefully as they have intricate parts to portray.
The play lasts several hours and it is
believed that it will commence about
4:30 p.m. in order that time off may be

about *r* 7 o'clock.
If the experiment proves successful other productions of a similar type may be tried later on.

Liberalism vs. Conservatism
Negotiations to procure these two great men have been carried on since last October, when our friend and fellow, Lyman Field, defunct, foresaw the possibility of disagreement among the students of the university whether a balance between liberalism and conservatism were being maintained in the student forums.

JENCKS HEADED SOUTH—
SUZANNE SAWYER
Two former students of Kansas University, William Borah and Alfred M. Landon, are being pushed for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 1936. We are proud of these students of our University and feel assured that either might pull our country out of the fires of BOLSHEVISM and COMMUNISM which are now consuming the fire and the home we have underhand of the Rosewell regime. But then again, we are dofulful. We wonder if they have the stuff with which to stand against this viper which is nesting in our bosom and consuming our very Constitutional vitals with rapirecious
Rather than take a chance with either of these men, we wish to enter our candidate for the highest office which this glorious commonwealth can offer to one of its citizens—the presidency of these United States of America. This man, Kansas born and bred, holds the views and principles of every true Kansan close to his heart. He is a man of high intellectual qualities, his morals are unimpeachable, his honesty is unquestionable.
Born and reared on the virgin prairies, away from the evils and iniquities which abound in any large city, at an early age he determined to cast his lot with his fellow Kansans, to breathe in, forever, the crystal-pure air of the prairies (although we admit it's a little dusty now) and prepare himself for the battles of life in the studios and refined air of this campus, the greatest in the Middle West. But we believe we can persuade him to leave his beloved Kansas to take over the presidential duties in Washington.
And so to the sovereign voters of this great democracy, we offer this man—this friend of the people, this modern Solon, this great thinker and student, the only man who can cure the grave economic ills which oppress our citizenry and still preserve those sacred principles which are guaranteed us in that immortal doctrine, the Constitution of the United States, this great Atlas who stands with his head in the clouds but with his feet firmly entrenched on solid Kansas soil (there's a little left yet)—JOHN ISE. People of this great democracy, you can do no better than to elect this man to the highest office which is in your power to bestow. We thank you—Our little president maker. W.RANDEN HOIST

Said the Chancellor, "For many years hence I will be continually haunted by the knowledge that I, your Chancellor, have survived death and destruction to exist on our fair campus. The thought that you, my students, have been exposed to a curse for worse than the most dreaded daylight snatchers, to make me tremble at my neglect."
The Chancellor, according to Sass, was obviously concentrating on things foreign to the dangerous descent of the shaky and treacherous STEPEs. The Chancellor is said to have missed the entire length of the STEPEs down the entire length of the STEPEs.

“Of course I am.” Suzanne replied. “We had an argument last night about Lyman and his Dutch Dating. We all said to each other, ‘I told me never to cross her path.’”
