Katheryn Cansily, Gamma FI Els has taken to巾帔着 hither失 (grace to hear it). Now—not that way—we mean health baths, Turkish baths, etc. Kay had to confess when the "Snoop" saw her come out of one of the local "cleaning" establishments. Sounds like a great idea! Understand that Jack Scott, local boy, visited the same establishment never went back. Said he was disasatisfied—the baths weren't as good as he thought they would be!
Understand that our Jayhawk basketball boys are constantly receiving telegrams of congratulations, and what have you, while they are away on their trip to New York, received in messages, we now think we have the solution for this marvelous winning streak; the boys have been credited with possessing (heidently)—none of these messages were sent collect). Some of them have been sent to us, and it I love you." (An even 10 words from Wichita). Another one read: "Lots of luck in tonight's game. Lots of love from the Pt Phil's." (One like this comes from the Danny Waynell-anyway, let's all play basketball!")
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1836
Heard that Lyman Field and From McFarland had to be called down for making too much noise in the library so not long ago. There's a time and place where children to get many Lyman, not beside them, no place to play!
They tell us that someone called the Pi Phi bouse the other day to see if Jack Hashurg, Phi Delt had, was there. The maid, at a said, license answered the phone. Being new, she got her babzzers somewhat mixed, and rang the fourth floor—instead of the first floor—and asked if JACK was there. Understand the girls looked under the beds, but HASHurg couldn't be found! Did they have it in mistake—you can always tell. Tricky follows—the Phi Delt's!
--other contestants, to represent K. U. in the nation-wide inter-collegiate telegraph tournament, to be sponored by National Billard Association on Foley.
Jane Burtley, Chi Omega pledge, has given up dating the pride of the Skiers because of a fear of getting our. Our only comment is that the "one and only" must have put his foot down (This might or might not be a bad thing—depending on the size of his family).
Well-Hell week seems to be over
Many of the lads and lasses seem to
have acquired that well-known tired
look, too. Well, you only have to go
through it. Ain't it enough, . .
you asking me?
Along these same lines, we hear that Chalis Hall, Sigma Chi "Last Years" has given up dating Bertha White, of the Gamma Phi house, because she reuses to use her car on said date? Why don't you rent a car, Hall, that's what you want? You don't need next best thing would be to marry the car. Anyway—do something!
Having "few the coup" for the weekend, it was necessary for Jordan to have someone finish off his column, so I will proceed to do that very thing. He has done so well. Had His Share of Publicity, who dropped Evans a little note which reads
"Mr. Bud Foens: During your short time as editor of the column ON THE SHIN, you have been writing too much about fraternity and sorority members. Since your column is for dirt and the non-organization members receive most training, University officials should not make more results in finding it. Signed.
From One Who Has Had His Share of Publicity."
Dear Mr. One Who Has Had His Share of Publicity: Evidently you failed to realize that even a "Snoop" who has an acute sense of smell for dirty things can be extremely helpful by himself. It is these voluntary stouges who come running at the slightest provocation of a bit of scandal about their room-mate or a fraternity brother who really deserve the credit, and discredit. So if you have the courage to make yourself Evans won't do anything else someone will do for him. (You're welcome, Bud).

Founder of 'Moscow News'
To Speak Tuesday Night

Anna Louise Strong, for several years editor of the "Moscow News" and an authoritative lecturer on Russia, will speak about "Dictatorship and Democracy in Soviet Union", in Fraser theater Tuesday at 8:00 p.m.
Miss Strong, a minister's daughter went to Russia 15 years ago. But for years the Soviet's apparent contradictions of its ideals disappointed her. Fitzgerald was an intelligent hour's talk, convinced her of the merits of this Communist dictatorship.
This interview proved the turning point in both her work and her personal life. She dedicated herself to the U.S. S.R.
After studying in two countries abroad and three colleges here, she entered welfare work, then journalism. In 1919, when feature editor of the Seattle Union Record, she supported the Seattle general strike.
Lincoln Steffins, pioneer liberal, urged her to visit Russia, which she did as a relief worker and Hearst correspondant. She worked during the horror of the 1921 famine and in a starving children's colony.
Hor most well-known book, "I Change Worlds," paints a picture of Russia's war. Three years ago she married an investigator for the U.S.R.
In Moscow later, her idea for establishing a Russian-American club failed because of lack of support. Instead she founded the Moscow News, which has since been made a daily paper. Its purview includes speaking business men and engineers the Soviet Union imported from Great Britain and the United States.

Byrd, famous explorer who is coming here to tell of his recent momentous discoveries made on his second Antarctica expedition will speak at the University auditorium, Wednesday evening.

For 18 months this band of scientists aviators and explorers lived on a whole continent of ice and snow. The expedition was conducted, what were the daily programs of the various explorers in orbit? They rarely rich finds, thrilling glimpses of airplane explorations will all be graphically revealed.
NUMBER 100
Byrd was born in Winchester, Va. 1888. He entered the United States Naval Academy in 1908 and was graduated in 1912. In 1917, he was, in his own words, "a fizzie." He was retired from the Navy for physical disabilities and graduated from a mangled ankle which refused to improve under five years of active service. "I was retired on three-quarter-pay," he records in his book 'Skyward,' "ordered home for good. Career ended. I never heard of any chance of coming back; trained for a sea-faring profession; temperamentally disinclined for business. A fizzle." 'Since aviators didn't fly with their legs' he planned to get into the Navy's air service and after pleading with his captain, he accepted in being allowed to learn to飞五.
Has Inspiring Record
Active During the War
During the war he was in charge on the U. S. Air Stations in Canada, later serving on the Commission in Charge of Air Training Camps. His first experience in exploration in the colder latitudes was with the Navy-MacMillan Arctic Expedition in 1925 when he was assigned to the Arctic Command and made Lieutenant Commander upon his return. The next year he headened his own expedition to the Arctic, and with Flybenn Bennett, was first to cross the North Pole by air. In 1927 Byrd realized his ambition of nine years' standing to fly the Atlantic, and achieved this in a memorable flight from New York to France. The following year he headed to Antarctica, where he realized Antarctic Expedition, founded Little America and made the first successful flight over the South Pole, Nov. 29, 1929. He was made Rear Admiral upon his return. On Oct. 22, 1933, he headed the Byrd Antarctic Expedition II, returning May 10, 1935, after almost two years of exploration and research.

Thomas Arranges To Speak on Topic, 'Liberty's Frontier
Socialist Leader Will Tall
Tomorrow Afternoon;
Time Is Changed
to 1:30 p.m.
Norman Thomas, Socialist leader and author, will speak on "America: Liberty's Frontier," tomorrow in Fraser剧院 before the Student Forum. A change has been made in the time, from accommodate the speaker.
It was previously announced that the speaker would be unable to appear due to bad train connections and the illness of Mr. Thomas, but a telegram to Thomas saying that a car has been provided to take him and his wife home on Monday night, has made it unnecessary to cancel the engagement.
Is An Ordained Minister
A graduate of Princeton University and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian church, Thomas became a Sozialist when as a conscientious objector during the war he could no longer occupy the pulp. Since then he has been active in politics and in labor movements, running twice as candidate for the New York City Assembly and recently active in the Garment Workers' strike in New York City.
He believes that America's inherited faith in political democracy has been lost to some degree and that the people of our country have not the faith in the adequacy of political institutions to solve the problems that they once had.
He says that our immediate dread is from militant and despotic Fascism.
Says American Fascism Possible
"There is," he declares, "a ruthlessness and suspicion in America, and sceptical disbelief in political action, which, given a few more years of bad economic conditions, will furnish a just war for an American Hitler to exploit."
Thomas is a thorough-gaspic pacifist, striving by legal means to achieve civil and religious liberty. In his speech here in 1854, he set forth the basis for libelary law, and the conditions it is planted in a bed of equality and tolerance. He does not believe that basically the conditions are different in this country from those in foreign countries. He does more to bring about the present conditions than any other factor.
A consistent fighter against war and violence in all forms, Thomas has kept the middle path between Capitalism and Communism, preferring to move slowly and patiently so long as he is sure that he is moving.
DR. JOHN BENNETT ADDRESSES YOUNG CHRISTIAN AUDIENCE
"The Christian message for us as individuals and world citizens," was the subject of an address from Dr. John Kerr, who taught at Auburn Theological Seminary, when he spoke before the Young Christian group in Westminster hall last spring.
Asserting that pagan forces "are operating most forcefully," he divided his subject into three phases: the growing secularism of modern life, the development of an economic system, and the development of a new form of tyranny that would destroy the basic principle for which the World War was fought.

World Record Set As Venzke Leads Glenn at Finish
Old Time For 1500-meters
Bettered by Kansan
Who Trails Gene
Two Yards
New York, Feb. 22-(UF)-Gene Venkens, University of Pennsylvania flier, smushed to the greatest triumph of the world in record-setting the world indoor 1500-meter record to defeat Glenn Cunningham, the former champion, in the feature event of the forty-eighth annual track and field meet, at the spectators at Madison Square Garden.
Venzie, running the same effortless race which gave him victory over the Kanas in last week's race, travelled around the boards in 3 minutes. 49.9 of them went for 3.505 which Cunningham set winning this championship last year.
Cunningham, two yards behind at the finish, also lowered the record, finishing in 3.501.
Charles Hornbostel, formerly of the University of Indiana, won the 1000-meter race in 2:29, almost 3 seconds than the world record set in 1927.
Venize's victory won his second successive win over the barrel-chested Kanan during the winter's indoor track season. In the Baxter mile last week, Venize paced his Western rival for a stirring victory and one of the best races of his career. His margin at that time was only 5 of a second.
The Pennsylvaniaian's narrow victory tonight marked the height of his steady improvement which was sufficient to beat Cunningham although he, too, shattered the world record for the 1,500-meter run which he established a year ago in the same meet in New York. He was also ahead of the lead of Bill Bonton, and further ahead of Venzek. He consistently beat Venzek in last year's contests.
Despite the opinion of many that Cunningham is on the downgrade of his running career, the champion miler had to admit he has major meets with stellar performances.
His two defeats by Venzke may, in this light, be attributed to a phenomenal improvement in the Easterner's running rather than to a failure upon the part of the Kansan to equal his former marks.
Although shorn of his 1500-meter world record, Cunningham still remains an indoor and outdoor mite and may be expected this summer to make a bid for a post on the American Olympic team and further competition in Berlin this spring.
Tonight's contest in the 1500-meter event was marked by the absence of Joe Mangan of Cornell University who defeated both Cunningham and Venzake several weeks ago in the Milrose Mangan was ill and unable to compete.
