Seems the PI pih's have a new riva in seeing how many gals they can get into one car! In fact, we think a new record of this sort was established yesterday when 15 (count cm) Alpha Mp3s were shipped to Katherine Tearden and proceeded (in low gear, with a few parts dragging) towards the campus. The explanation to this feat is that the A.D. Pi bus is much faster than using Pi Mp3 methods, they are able to squeeze an extra half dozen inside!
Who says our professors aren't versatile? We won't go into that, but Dr. Landes is proving himself a real family man during this present flu epidemic. Understand he is acting as chief cook and bottle driver for the four member of his family who are coined to bed with him. He cleans dishes, and makes speeches. Dr. Landes has his hands full these days!
LAWRENCE. KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1936
Understand there are several people in the mood to do murder to about ten of the nighthawks. See this group of boys wanted to paint the other night, and then the other night. Maybe the serenades and roses weren't too much to endure but fellas, PLEZ show your tub down as you come around that curve on the sidewalk in front of the law born, you step into a giant. Being on the first step!
Charlie Nicholas tells us that he got that conspicuous gas on his "beak" by bumping into a door when someone entered. And the best Deltel hotel. Not even a good girl, Charlie!
Oh, for the life of a Chi Omega beauty queer! We only heard, that after alarming one date to the Junior Prom (which, by the way, was quite a success) Roth Edler Purdy found, who said she would appear there as a prospective "queen." She had no date! Sad, isn't it? Soooo, the Chi O sister went sourting for an escort for the queen, and it was rumored from non-reliable sources that she even offered to pay her dues at the prom, but she didn't apply at the date burrow?

And while we hear on the subject of the Prom, we hear that Daisy Hoffman, diminutive PI PbI, had to pay four of the Sigma CII freshmen a dollar apiece to take four of her rushes to said dance, Topsy! They should have held a buck and a quartet at Bastion. Wonder if the rushes knew all about this?

Glenn Cunningham Announces Entry In Kansas Relays
As a matter of fact, you're not made
of the rugged stuff your ancestors were

all these seven years.
An Effort Being Made T Get Venkze Here for Race With the Champion
Glenn Cunningham, former Jay-hawker track star, has announced that he will be an entrant in the special 1980-81 draft season. An 18. effort is being made to bring Gene Venken, the Pennsylvania star, to compete with Cunningham in this event.
Witness a squib concerning your father and mother which appeared in a
And they dutched for over a year... until the embarrassing economic condition was remedied.
Although the time was the slowest that any of the runners have run this year, the race was very interesting. The second quarter, with Mangan and Mango set a very slow pace, running the first quarter in 1.18 and the half in 2.33. The slow pace continued throughout the third quarter, much to the delight of some fans, famous for their "kick" at the finish.

If it is possible to have Vencenko here at that time, the race may make track history. Cunningham did not run so well during the indoor track season, but he is expected to do much better on the field this year, paying very good in top shape for the Olympics.
Venze has been in fine shape throughout the indoor season and has won several races from Cunningham, who, however, won the Columbian mile last Saturday night, his first victory over Venze this year. With competition like this between the two runners, it seems possible, according to doopers, that Venze will be one of the few record which is now held by Bill Bonthron of Princeton.
Although Cunningham has never made exceptional time in the Kansas stadium, he stated three years ago that some day he would attempt to break a world record for his Alma Mater in the Kansas Relays.
Venzke in Good Shape
Time Was Slow
But Curningham drew cheers from the crowd as he began to sprint at the beginning of the last quarter. His tremendous pace was too much for his ri- ness, and he failed for the last quarter was 55.8 fast, recorded for the last lap of a mile race.
Your grandparents dutch dated back in 1873. So don't think you're doing anything now. Your parents dutch date back in 1862. Minnie paid for half of your cousin Charlie's fling in 1852. Don't be bashful on top of another dutch dating cycle.
PIKERS, YOUR GRANDPARENTS 'DUTCH DATED' BACK IN 1873!
The Kansan has received much favorable comment for the "brainy" tactics he used in defeating Venzke and Mangan Saturday night.
Your grandfather was in the bloom of his youth during the bitter depression of 73. But the young swain'sucks were paddled from anxiety because he was living under a rock with his lady to the circus. Grandma, however, would not let a peculiary obstacle constitute a socio-pychological barrier. She so sent him a perfumed message offering to pay half the expenses. She offered even to divvy on the peanuts. Your grandfather tells us when she danced and And then dotted time for a year.

I Travatore, this year. We commend their work," said the director, part of the ladies should be fostered, specially in these troubled times."
And that, mind you, was printed in a paper in the staid, conservative old city of Boston.
You have heard, of course, about the economic crisis of 1921-22. It was then, as we have told you, that your cousin Minnie contributed to her and Charlie's mutual fling. But we can't count that. They did everything in those days. They also told you of the luxury if propriety which characterized the uneventful twenties.
You have considered this weight of interesting historical evidence which proves that dutch dating was institutionalized in the remote past. You have rubbed with shame when you realized you have not been doing right by tradition.
You must vindicate yourself in the eyes of your ancestors. Tritely are you men or mice? . . . Men, you say? . . . All right.

Analyzed International Conditions Again, in 1934, under the auspices of the Institute of International Education, he gave a critical analysis of the educational practices of an native land and in the United States. In his speech, he stated that Austria was the crossroads of the next war, and that a re-establishment of the Austro-Hungarian nation would be the logical remedy to avoid a possible war.
Dr. Dengler comes well qualified. As a director of the Austro-American Institute of Education in Vienna, he directed educational reforms made by the Austrian school authorities in secondary public schools, introducing into an effort to establish a system of education called the Class Community D System. His plan of reform was to work from within, not only by using new methods but also by introducing a healthy new class room spirit. The students form communities which actively participate in school class instruction as well as in school activities of the International Vaccination Colleges for Students from 1911 to 1917.

Men's Pan-Hellenic Votes To Support New Dating Plan
Group Unanimously Favors the Joint M.S.C.-W.S.G.A. Share-expense Proposal
At a meeting Sunday morning, the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council voted unanimously to back the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Government Association in supporting the dutch dating rule. The Pan-Hellenic Council feels that the rule made by the two students warrants their whole-hearted warriors.
The new era will officially begin Friday night at the W.S.G.A. carnival, and arrival is celebrated with a charge of booths will make special efforts to see to it that the entertainment is kept on the 50-50 basis. Carnival is scheduled for one first couple attending under this plan.
After a lengthy discussion last Tuesday, both the M.S.C. and the W.G.S.A. voted unanimously to gass the resolutions passed by the Board of Students and women students on all dates, solely for the purpose of promoting a better spirit of comradorship among students of the University. Leaders in the two groups agreed that the practice will soon become traditional.
Kansan reporters have interviewed several students who have done considerable thinking about the plan and have discussed the advantages and disadvantages in full detail. Some of their statements are as follows:
Katherine Hurd—"I think that some of the students will support the proposition but do not intend to do so myself."
Helen Dean--"It seems all right for the steady dates. I think I shall give it a try but am undecided as to whether or not she will continue such an arrangement."
Bettie Lau McFarland—"I do not think that the plan will work. It could, however, if everyone co-operated and the right spirit into it. I believe that those who date steady will accept the ones who have varied their dates will have objections."
Lanston Ratliff--I think it should be put to a vote of the student body."
Gertrule Field—The success depends upon the attitude that the girl students take. I personally expect to pay my own expenses on some dates, but on others I believe I shall let my escort pay."
Margaret Ryan—"It won't work if the boys are sisters. I don't care to see it work because I'm having too darn good a time now."
Bettie Gibson—"It would be all right by me to pay my own expenses. I look for more dating to be the result of such a plan if successful."
George Guernsey—"Seems to be a good idea if you can make it work. It demands the co-operation of everyone. There will be more independence for the women. I am going to give the plan a trial."
Frank Allen—"I am in favor of the proposal, but oddly enough the most opposition will come from the boys. It is that they want to stop them from into practice than most people think."
I sabere Belley "Some of the girls will like it and others will not, thus creating an awkward and embarrassing situation for them." She was afraid that it will not be successful."
