Oh Hunt! After a dance like Friday night even old Butch is dead on his feet. Congratulations to the committee that brought most successful parties ever staged at the University. The orchestra, we all agree, was a typical colored band with the usual rhythm—but they did slow down when we could give us a chance to recuperate.
Tinghambaus about the dance. The dark complexioned girl (tuned to you) was a Pi Pit from Colorado . . . That drummer was in the air more than the bassist, the cowboy outfit when not playing . . . The pianist, around whom the largest crowd gathered, arranges most of the orchestras . . . Marie Stevens. Independent, received the biggest hand when being introduced to the Junior musician, and the publicity manager has been discharged . . . An hour and a half before Helen Johnson was introduced as a beauty queen candidate, she was playing the part of a grandmother at play practitioner or old, she is all right either way.
"P. S. G. L. Use Side Entrance," was seen hanging on the front door of the Union building Thursday night the matter? Matter's or something?
We are trying to figure out why a certain Alpha Chi had a date with the out-of-town lad when she really wanted to go with one of two other fellows she had dated for last night. Just what was the influential point?
Bill Jones, once-in-a-wall "attender" of the University, who also manages an oil station downtown, was featuring an added attraction the other day in his presentation. Mary Helen Fike wielded the broom and hose-cleaning up his station.

ARTICLE BY PROFESSOR DILL
APPEARS IN ATHLETIC JOURNAL
Prof. W. A. Dill, of the department of journalism of the University of Kansas and director of the K.U. News Bureau, has been carrying on a campaign for the promotion of uniformity in the basketball games for some time.
In the March issue of the Athletic Journal, Professor Dill has an article entitled, "Press Facilities for Track and Field Meet's," in which he tells of the manner in which data is furnished visually by computers in connection with the Kansas Relays.
The promotion of uniformity in the "box" for basketball is his special hobby, but Professor Dill has also been working; during the past 10 years, on campus, he pressed box facilities for the Kansas Relays at the University of Kansas.

France Insists on League Council Applying Penalties to Nazis
Italy maintained her passive attitude.
France demanded that the Council ind germany guilty of aggression and jubiln her by economic and financialier her troops from the Rhineland.
The Council invited Germany to attend Monday's session and present her case, but there was grave doubt to that the invitation would be accepted.

The Council will proceed to make its decisions on condemning Germany at Monday's session regardless of whether Germany accepts the invitation to attend.

JAWHAWKS FACE TOUGH QUINTET IN UTAH STATE
Kansas Wins District Trials by Defeating Oklahoma Agries in Final Battle at Kansas City
3.500 FANS SEE GAMES
"No Games on Other Than Campuses After Olympic Elimination"—Allen
Only Utah State college remains in Kansas' undefeated basketball team and the final tournament of the Olympic trials in Madison Square Garden, following the Judywhackers' sterling performance. Agges at Kansas City Friday night.
Unleashing a powerful drive in the second half, the Kansans pulled ahead in the closing minutes to gain a hard-fought 34-28 victory and the championship of the Missouri Valley district Olympic trials.
Both defeated, Kansas and the inspired Oklahomaans who had vanquished Nebraska the night before, played brilliant in the finals at Kansas City. The point-for-point at tuggle kept a crowd of 3,000 in Convention Hall unable to choose the winner until the final game when the Kansas forged into a lead.
Jayhawk hopes sagged as the Aggies went into the lead position by 18-15 at half-time, and were ahead 24 to 22 with half of the last period played. For possibly the first time this year, the Kansas men had the height advantage over an opponent, which played an important part in the closing minutes of play when the Jayhawks tightened their defense. They held Free throws were also a deciding issue; out of 16 attempted free throws, Kansas missed only two.
Angles Lead at Halt
Coach Henry Ba's quitter seemed to be using the strategy which Coach F. C. Allen recommends. The Stillwater five used their every power to keep possession of the ball as much as possible, and to risk shots only when a wide-open gap was available. The opposite missed only one attempted shot, that of "autumn Little under the basket."
Ebling High Scorer
Although Ebling was to two field goals, he pocketed eight charity toses to capture high-scoring honors for the evening with 12 points. Noble was a capable helpmate, turning in 10 points coupled with his usual tricky and accurate punch. In contrast to the roughness of his pitch, Thursday night, the Kansas men committed only five called fouls to give the Oklahoma men their four free throws.
Prairie, first-string Kansas guard, was forced to leave the game in the second half as a result of an injured ankle and the collapse of the tilt, the lead keptsee-sawing until the Kansars began to connect in earnest and pulled away to a four-point lead with only a few minutes left to play. With the score at 30-26, by virtue of Allen's and Kappelman's fast goals, the team ended up in three inches in its forces, but immediately upon the resumption of play Noble smashed their boops with a shot from under the basket.
The Olympics elimination series in which Kansas is now competing will be the last appearance of the Jayhawks and the first in the worst Case. Allen announced last night.
The city crowds have attended so many the wrestling matches, and other professional sports events, that they have developed a technique, not of
"The proper place for college competition is in a college atmosphere, and that is best found on a college campus," said Dr. Allen. "The Kansas team has had invitations for this year and for next, to play in Madison and St. Louis." But I do not favor 'big time' basketball, and as soon as the Olympic competition is over, will keep the Jayhawkers on college campuses.

Borah Attacks Landon ?
Washington, March 14.—(IP)—Senator W. M. Borah used the Standard Oil Company of "attempting to dominate political interests for selfish ends" and "trying to drive it out of Republican politics."
Borah's statement was an indiscreet insult upon Gov. A.M. L. Mound of Kansas because of the latex he brought to the oil industry, which is stated to the Oklahoma backing of the Kansas governor.
Borah did not mention Landon but it has been assumed that the Oklahoma group would back the issues for presidential nomination.
Glen Cunningham turned the tables on his arch-rivals of the indoor track, Gene Venakey and Joe Mangan, by defending his own dominance in the lumbus mile in New York last night in the amazingly slow time of 4:42. It was the concluding race of the Indoor Championship.
For the first time this season, Cunningham held back from the start and forced Mangan to set the pace. For the second half, Venkel and Z兑keen and Venkelume took the lead at the seventh lap and Mangan moved back to third place. Then all three men opened up, running just quarter of the race in 53 seconds.

"The great share of national attention being directed toward Kansas this year apparently has brought about a more positive outlook on the East and West, toward graduates of the University of Kansas," Professor Stockton, dean of the School of Business.
"Iquiries of the Placement Bureau have met with more favorable reception by large firms in the East than ever before," said Taylor, attributed to the public Kansas is receiving this present. The new interest presents an opportunity for extending the application area to firms at a greater range than have ever been served before."
MORE BUSINESS FIRMS FAVOR MEN TRAINED IN UNIVERSIT
Inquiries received from a large number of firms indicate that there is an ever-increasing demand for young men in computer science and considerable work in chemistry, physics, and engineering.

The new era will be officially insta
From its first concert, this orchestra has drawn huge audiences both in the city and in the many smaller towns in which it has appeared. During the
past week, the orchestra gave concerts in Winfield, Witchia, Concordia, and Manhattan.

During discussion during the joint meeting, Groebel Spemmel, member of the WSGA, said that most girls now dating extensively have money enough to afford other girls, those not dating, spend as much on them to the shows in private or in company with other girls as they would be upbound upon to spend under the new plan.
Lyman Field stressed the idea that women would now be enabled to select their places of entertainment that dating would not be limited to a few
TEXT OF RESOLUTION
Resolved: That in order to promote a better spirit of comradeship between students at the University of Kansas, the W.S.G.A. and M.S.C. declare that the policy be followed from and after March 20, 1935, in relation to social relations between men and women students shall be on an equal financial basis."
overly popular girls since such women would think twice before bearing half the cost of their many dates; and the plan would produce a better feeling of comradeship between men and women students.
Works at Other Schools
In discussing the matter, it was brought out that such a plan works effectively in other schools and universities. At the University of Texas all social engagements are worked on by the students, and the combination of comradship and more congeniality among students there than elsewhere according to Logan Lane who visited there two weeks ago. He mid further that students do not go home after class and the Union building and minute together which greatly enhances fellowship.
Lyman Field also pointed out that his basis is used in German universities, and he spoke with students after "after talking with several German Exchange Scholars, he said, I find that the men and women students are not only students but women even call them for dates."
Men Should Pay for Cakes
to all social engagement, it was generally agreed by both councils that "cake" dates should be paid for by the
According to the joint-council, there is no reason why, under the close association of men and women in college and professional men and women should not share equally in the cost of any entertainment they should jointly undertake. It is a matter of doing just as men and men and women as do just as men and men, sense of clavity that directs otherwise. Paying for her own entertainment gives new independence to the woman, in that she will have an equal hand in the way to go and types of entertainment.
Under this plan, women will be under no obligation to "give a man data" because of his having spent money on her or taken her around; and uniquely, relations between men and be on more of a "conde-rule" basis.
More Men Could Have Dates
more men will now have an opportunity to date, as that have been financially able to date in the past will be able to have more so.
All in all, the joint-council believes that the new ruling will be tremendously effective in betting the men's financial standings; in giving the wo-
