We got a letter this morning that really merrits printing. Sorry we can't print the sad story that went with it. It was one of those things—but the corners say "no." Guess we'll have to turn it over to the Engineers—no doubt it would be a prominent position in their sheet? Anyway—we'll have a little "punning" folks, so here 'is:

Dear Snoon:
Imagine my surprise when I glanced at my favorite (?) column the other morning and found, in very bold faced type, the startling account of my Tuesday's escape with the girl "in the little green coat." I must admit that you work fast when you dish dirt, but not as hard when you write writing (?) about my love affairs for they are a sacred matter to me, and I want them kept that way.
If I want to walk up the Fourteenth street hill with my arms around a girl that I love with all my art, I certainly don't think you have any right to smear us and our love all over your smell column. Of course, I realize that you may have had the best interests of the girls in school (for what could be sweeter than all the boys running around the campus with girls under their arms) but I don't wish to be the cause of you starting something you can't stop.
How long are your ears?

P. S. Joyce to bust up your play
house, but the Gal is my sister,
you do.
A wonder where that Giam Pig gam finally came to rest last weekend when Dick Wright and Amnette Lawrence, K. U. Alpha Chi, new attending the Aggie institution down Mashatwan way, stopping passage it back and forth in sort of a sleight-of-hand manner??? When he arrived at the Manhattan house court, we had to leave early, so—how'd it come out Dick-did she keep it?
Do any of you people read road
sighs—huh? If you don’t *t* we submit the
following for no good reason at all.

Who were the fair lass and ladie who attempted to ride up the Corbin Hill on a bicycle built for two? Well —we see they didn't make it. The girl has a bruised knee (were told), and her sisters don't know the score yet. (No—it wasn't Gurney—these were two other people?)
It seems that Howard Gardiner, Delta is really acered out! Since Bill "Sour Owl" Blowers dropped in from Chicago for the weekend, Gardiner has been a great fan of the Chi Omega joint. Maybe he thinks that Eagle has is catching!
At last the University Commons, the most insignificant building on the campus, has been made significant. This most humble container of ancient Caesar's imperial corps in you has had a nice coat of paint after all these years!

Gard Speaks to Landon Clu'y
Extensive Membership Campaign 1 Planned by Group
"Landon is a man who knows the forces of the changing order, and who is capable of working out the national agenda for change without intimidating the future of American youth," was the keynote statement of the speech made by Robert Gard, up, before the Landon club in their meeting last night.
Extensive plans also were made for vigorous membership campaign beginning this week.

The club will meet with its new members next Tuesday, March 10, in room 104 of the Journalism building, where plans will be made for a Unitarian Church in the interests of the nomination of the Kansas' governor for president.
New Properties Planned For Next Commencemen
Big Improvement Expected From Changed Setup of Platform
The scenery for the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises in the plains will be greatly improved this spring. Plan plans approved yesterday afternoon by the Commencement Committee are acce- tory to the Chancellor and the Board of Hospitals.
In the new plan which was presented by Prof. G. M. Beal, associate professor of architecture, with Raymond Nichol and Prof. J. W. Jeele, members of the faculty, the server's platform would face the seat sessions at the north end of the stadium. Behind the speaker would be the seats for the faculty, and the band would occupy a platform behind and slightly above the main stage. Convenient steps to lead from the section of seats occupied by the graduating class to the stage.
The plan under consideration would replace the cut tree branches and flowers formerly used with boxed ferns and shrubs. Another feature of the plant would be a central and conveniently located control booth for both lights and windows. The platform would be built in sections to facilitate moving and storage.
The committee moved to follow the same general plans for commencement this year, as were used last year. The committee also worked with forums during the week which were started last year. The arrangements for the speakers for these were left to a sub-committee to be appointed by Fred Langer. In addition, various buildings on the campus were considered and referred to a committee on exhibits headed by Prof. W. H. Schoweh and assisted by Prof. W. A. Crowther, who crowded the crowds were also discussed.
The Commencement Committee is composed of Prof. E. L. TREE, chairman, Baskee College, Miss Blackwell West University, Prof. W. A. Dill, Miss Kathleen Doering, Freed Elwaward, Raymond Nichols, Prof. J. J. Wheeler; class of 1936 representative, Dana Durand, C76, Frank Kuehn, LBCS, c36, and George Guernsey, b35.

Strikers Threaten To Tear Up Town As Proposals Fail
Police Report 76 Arrest As Violence Increases; Both Factions Consulted
New York, March 4- (UP) Striking elevator operators threatened to "tear up the whole town" tonight after members of the Realty Advice Board rejected the demand for wage increase contracts in New York sky-scrapers.
"We'll stay here until we settle this thing" Sitting in the room was Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady, the New Deal industrial "trouble shooter" but little progress was reported.
Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia gathered both factions in the city hall and told them:
"It looks like an all night session," said one of the conferences, when he left the conference room for a moment.
Approximately 1,000,000 New Yorkers were suffering from lack of heat and air, especially in the crowded strikers in four or five large hills were eager for a foray into the streets. Violence increased and police announced the arrests since the start of the strike.
Two detectives stood vigil outside the city hall waiting for James J. Bambridge, head of the local Building Service Employees' Union and George A. Scalia, the national union to come out. They were there to inform Bambridge and Seahale that District Attorney William C. Dodge wanted to see them at his office. Dodge wanted to find out exactly what Bambridge and Seahale meant when they said they would "tear up town and fight it out in the street."
Walter M. Gerritt, counsel for the Realty Advisory Board, said directors had voted unanimously to reject union demands for a closed shop and higher wages. When Bambrick was informed of that action, he said:
"If they say we won't budge you can say the same thing for us. If we don't get peace in the city hall we will extend the strike."
With 600 separate cases of violence reported the strike had lost most of its humorous aspect. Police reserves

First Attempt To Preserve Classic Form In Motion Picture
The first attempt to bring the classic to the screen in its original form will be presented in the motion picture, "Midsummer Night's Dream" to be shown at the Granda theater Friday, March 13. William Shakespeare's drama comes as a road show for one day. He plays his roles on Friday, 8:30, its first showing in Kansas. Word for word as Shakespeare wrote it, the presentation will last three hours.
This type of presentation is a new venture for the motion picture industry. It comes as an answer to the recent cries from critics for higher types of plays. It is also an attempt to show greater as an understandable writer.
"Perhaps this ahrard belief of Shakespeare not being for the common people will be displed by our showing of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in picture forms," states the director, Max Reinhardt.
White, Capper, and Allen Head Landon Delegation
Prices for the matinee will be 50c and 75c. For the evening performance they will be 50c, 75c and $1.
A number of new mechanical and technical devices have been employed. Music by Felix Mendelssohn will be used.
All Kansas Delegates Are Pledged To Support Governor

PLAYERS' TRIP A SUCCESS

Two performances were given at Wichita, Robert E. Gard, technical director, left Parsons at 11 p.m., Friday, driving the acrery truck, to see the performance order to be in readiness for the matinee performance.
