A Fastidious Gent . . . Are They Men or Mice? . . . A Dirty Trick, We Sez. . . What Next . . . Dealing in Diamonds . . . Plotting Professors . . . and Stuff!
Our nomination for the Hill's most fastidious man goes to Hal Stevenson Colorado Phil Delt who spends most of his time over Gamma Phi Way. You sir, Hal not only spends an hour daily shining his new brown shoes, but even has two pairs of shorts he wears every day! Just to increase the news value? (?) of this a bit. he's an Engineer—and you can believe It or Not!
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1936
Seen at the Pan-Hel party (before intermission); Mary Hartnett and Elizabeth Shearer, Thia Mattes, with both shearers Haven, Hazen, both the A.T.O. farm;
seen at the Pan-Hel party (after internship): Mary Hartnett and Elizabba Shearer! Well, well—themselves are in the gals' rounds, so while the gals danced that second half, they (yesh the boys, aren't the little racaels!) sat outside in BILL's dress and waited! Bill says "Who wants to dance all evening, any day?"
Bell Cochrane and his date emerged from the theater the other day only to find that the air had been let out of two tires on his new V-8. As 'Yao' Billhain caught up with the dusty culprit who did this little deed, but just in the way of a hint, we'll say that regardless of how swell your fraternity brothers seem to be, you can always find one who is under a snake's belly with a high hat on, and still have room to tie it!
♦ ♦ ♦
What's next? And, now that you've asked us, we'll say Pink-cake this time Yep. Claire "Dincess" Connellly Gamma Phi, and Sig Alph AE尔华林ford are the victims. Aln't it too these ailments are contagious?
Now that Bill Jones has successfully tutored Caroline High on the proper ways of cleaning and sweeping cut oil stations, the two decided there was nothing left to do but make their plans. It happened last Saturday night, Caroline is now wearing gloves, but she still has a mask. How know the diamond is extremely good looking, but the little lady is just a all we bit bashful about it all.

Understand that a movement is being imaginated by Professor Jennings of the economies department, for all professors without children to save the gun given them by our team, might be pleasantly supplied. Just sort of warning you, Ray and Paul, so that theseprofits won't get the best of you!
Difficulties with members of the University of Kansas symphony orchestra at a low spirited practice recently caused an embarrassment for them if they possessed any passion whatsoever. Understand that the members responded with such tempo and feeling that the professor had to stop teaching to declare them positively indecent.
"Daddy," Flint, long a journalism professor, is one of these extremely tolerant persons. He has flashes of humor not attainable by any younger writer. He was speaking of a person mentioned in this book; he is an author who really like that crack. "said Mr. Flint," but I knew his father when he was in school. He is just like him."

Utah Aggie Team Enters Play-Off With Good Record
three All-Conference Mer Are Among Members Making Trip to Kansas City
The Utah Aggies arrived in Kansas this morning, hoping to sweet through the Jayhawk team in the eries starting Wednesday and to continue on to New York to the final playoff for Olympic honors.
Coach E. L. "Dick" Romney's men are in fire shape with the exception of Captain Cleo Petty, who injured a knee before the nightly Rocky Mountaineers players playing the trip to Kansas City are: forwards, Kent Ryan, Captain Cleo Petty, Shelby West, and Paul Blanton; center, Ed Watson and Willart gunacks, Ed Wade, Rollin Gardner, Elmo Gaffa, and Dennis Henderson.
All Conference Men
Ryan, Wade, and Gardner were named as Rocky Mountain all-conference selections this year, and the first two, Ryan and Wade, were on "Poss" Parsons' official group last year also. Although Petty is with the squad, he will not see service at Kansas City because of his injured knee. He has been a regular forward all year, and was all-conference forward last year. West, Georgia State, and playoff games will replace him. Eldon Watson, starting center, was one of the outstanding guard men of the conference last year.
For the second successive year, the Utah Aggies took the Rocky Mountain conference, defeating Greeley Teachers University in this season. The Utah State buckles took the championship of the western division of the conference, winning nine out of 12 games. In their two-out-of-five win over Wyoming, the eastern division winner, the Angies sailed through with the first two games, 42-32 and 42-38, and then allowed the reserves to drop the Woyong men, 33-48.
By agreement of the Rocky Mountain conference teams, the conference winner was to be allowed to represent that district in the Olympic playoffs. Because that Utah State, the winner, had contributed no funds to the Olympic committee by playing the regional playoffs did Kansas. However, this difficulty has been successfully trounced and, interpersonal playoff is now assured.
Difficulties Ironed Out
The Aggies, a rummy, hard-driving bunch of men, use a short-pass, fast offensive. They seldom dribble, passing fast and accurately to be bewilder the opposing defense. The Utah team has turned in the best defensive record in addition to the best defensive record at Mountain conference. In one game this season, the Aggies pitched up a 72-point score.
The band, which previously had planned to make the trip to each of the games, will be able to attend on Wednesday night only. The Wyandotte high school band will play in their place Thursday night.
