Saw a fellow walking across the campus the other day who seemed to be comfortable in spite of the cold. Seems as though he had a large paper sack covering his head which had two holes cut in it so he could see what he wrote. "Such a start proves the judge that 'necessity is the mother of invention.'"
Afterthought: He reminded us of the wreather of several years ago who called himself the Mandrake Marvel—only this time a wreather, and by no means a marvel!

LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1936
Understand the Phi Gamma's are giving their annual Stag Pig dinner the night of February 29th. This, by the way, is the same night of the Lemp Year Variety. The boys are determined to have a good time, and this is their method of handling the situation. That's really sticking together, fellas!
A young Kappa was asked recently why her kledge didn't combine with one of the fraternities for rushing—sort like the plan the Phi Dhl's used in helping the Pi Phli's about in their annual rushing business. Said the Kappa—"Oh, that's a labor union, and really, couldn't work for us!" More? 117

Leibowitz Thinks Hauptmann Guilty Drops From Case
Suggests That Bruno Gave Full Confession of His Part in Lindbergh Kidnapping
Trenton, N. J, Feb. 19. (UP)—Sam Lelowbitt, New York attorney retained to defend Hauptmann, withdrew from the case tonight with the declaration that he believed Hauptmann guilty of the kidnapping of the Linderberg baby.
Leibovitz, who entered the case a week ago, said three coefferences with Hauptmann in the latter's death cell that Hauptmann is guilty.
"Therefore," he said, "I want no further part of it."
Leibwitz, it was pointed out frequently, stated even before he entered the case that he believed Hauptmann guilty but that Hauptmann was not alone in the crime. He gave this opinion several times in radio broadcasts and in newspaper articles. He made it clear tonight that he still holds the same opinion.
Haupimman Understands Situation
Lebowitz issued a lengthy statement in which he mentioned C. Lloyd Fisher's claim that the man's counsel. The statement said:
"Lloyd Fisher today was more than co-operative. We brought to Brune Richard Haumann at the death house in unmistakable language the price which confronts him. He understands the law. He also newly discovered evidence that the law demands before any court of this state will grant him a new trial.
"He understands also that his case has been fought up to the highest tribunal of the country—the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington—and that Mr. Fisher and Judge Pope have moved heaven and earth to through the courts. He understands very well that he has been played before the Court of Pardons and that he has lost there as well.
Call Do Nothing Further
"Be." Mr. Fisher and I have told him that we shouldn't further that any lawyer can do for him. His only salvation as matters stand now lies in his muking a clean bread of whatever guilty part he may have had in this hiemn crime. Mr. Fisher says the lawyer he still believes Hauptmann's story.
"I cannot see how I can serve the interests of justice any further by my continued participation in this case. I want you no further part of any of it.
"I know that Lloyd Fisher has done everything that is humanly possible for his client. He is a splendid lawyer and will continue to exercise his power and energy to the utmost in his client's behalf.
Refuses Hauptmann's Defense
"But I for one have refused to associate myself as this man's lawyer." Leibwitz was asked the direct question:
"Do you believe Hauptmann guilty?'
"My statement speaks for itself," he said.
"Speaking for Judge Pope and myself, we are exceedingly sorry that associating himself with his way to associating himself with the outlook admitted that the outlook is dark but Judge Pope and myself are hopeful that matters under investigation will be resolved." And any circumstances, we shall continue to do our utmost in our client's behalf."
A statement also was issued by Fisher. He said:
The weekly recital of Fine Arts students will be presented at 3:30 p.m today in the Administration auditorium. The following program will be given:

Dr. Long, uminfuld of the biting cold, dotted his fur coat, removed his jacket, and rolled up his shirt sleeves. His hand elicited a hack-and lamp wrapped up in a bed sheet. Fireman George Collins preceded him up to the door, who helped to girder and another rope to help support the doctor. He also held a storage battery lamp to supply illumination.
Lowell, Mase, Feb. 19—UP) (John McCoy, gritter 47-year-old train operator, owed his life tonight to Dr. Norvall. The wounding was as great as his surgical skill.
McCoy was trapped in the cab of a crane which had fallen from its perch 80 feet above ground. The cab fell 20 feet and was pierced by a steel girder that pinned McCoy's right arm against the roof.

Just then there was a shout from below. A priest had arrived to administer last rites.
"Is my arm gone, Doe?" he asked. "We'll see," Long replied. "Take it easy."
Then Dr. Long returned to his precarious perch. He began the operation The handiwork were almost overwhelming. He had to contend not only wit the awkward position in which he was forced to operate, but also with the danger of infection. Some of McCo's clothing had been ground into the flesh by the pinning girder.
As the operation progressed, McCoy was given morphine and whisky, but they didn't make much difference. Hitch had had been numbered by freezing cold.
The amputation completed, Dr. Long applied surgical snaps. Then McGoy was drawn through the narrow aperture. A rope was bound around his mid-section and he was lowered head-first.

Appreciation of Audience Shown by Numerous Exposures
Encores
As the fourth number on the University Concert Course, the famed Vienna Boys Choir last night was well received by persons in the University Auditorium.
Throughout the evening the choir pleased the audience with its lovely voices, blinded perfectly in a harmony almost instrumental in quality.
These 22 youngsters, who range in age from 8 to 15 years, were attired in colorful costumes and smaller blouses. Their musical director, Victor Gonlos, led the group in the A Capella numbers and accompanied them on the piano in the other selections.
As the program proceeded there was a steady crescendo of applause which brought the boys back to the footlights for repeated curtain calls and encrosas.
With the exception of "The Star Spangled Banner", which opened the program, all of the numbers were sung in the German language.
The first division of the program consisted of the following: "Repeit Sunt" (Gallus), "Ommes de Saha Venient" (Asula), "The Virgin's Slumber Song" (Reger), and "God in Nature" (Schubert).
The second part was an operetta "A Sung From Old Vienna" by Franz Schubert, which contained many solo works. It is also the half of the bawn being dressed as girls.
The last group of four numbers included "German Dance" (Schubett), "Little Landman" (a folk-song), "Madele Ruck, Ruck, Ruck" (Gombz), and "Tales From the Vienna Woods" (Strauss).

Snyder, Campus Cop. Emphasizes Observeance of Traffic Regulations
George Snyder, traffic policeman states that all students should be aware of the traffic regulations that are in place and remind all persons that the speed limit is 30 miles an hour and stop signs must be observed at all times. These signs are on each side of Mississippi and campus to the East end of Administration drive.
No stops should be made to let persons out of cars at intersections because they could damage the right-of-way and should have the right-of-way at all times. No cars are allowed to park on the campus drive which extends from Thirteenth street to the flower bed at Fourth Street.
A very close check is being kept for violators and three men are on the job at all times to check the campus drive for parked automobiles.
All students who get tickets for violations are urged to go to the business office at the time specified on the ticket and get the violation taken care of. Snyder states there is no way to escape the police if you fail to report that they cannot get their grades. The fine for parking offenses is one dollar if taken care of at the specified time.

Theologian Here Tomorrow
Tomorrow afternoon the first of a series of meetings of interest to young Christians will be addressed by John Bennett, professor of Christian Theology from Auburn Theological Seminary.
At 4:30 tomorrow afternoon Dr. Bennett will address a group at Westminster hall on the subject, "The Christian Church as an Individuals and World Citizens."
Monday he will speak before the noon luncheon forum on "The Living God in a World of Science," discussing whether a belief in God is intellectually compatible with what we know in the world of science. Monday evening at Westminster hall he will speak on standards for Personal and Social Action."
Charles Clayton Morrison, editor of the Christian Century, who delivered the baccalaureate semen to theGradent last year, said of Dr. Bennett: "Above all, he is an honest thinker. I have yet to find a single bubble of bunk in anything he has written. In my judgment he has a vital Christian message for students." Henry R Van Duenze of the Union Trust has the clearest and fairest mind among the younger interpreters of religious thought in this century." Edwin R. Price, chairman of the Council on Religion of Lawrence University, has the clearest and fairest appearance, said the University was fortunate in procuring Mr. Bennett for even this short time, as he is being released from his theological work for this semester only, to meet with col-

Ebling Scores 18 Points To Again Run Away With Scoring Honors in 15th Straight Victory
GAIN LEAD AT START
Allen's Proteges Ahead at Half-time, 25-8. After One-sided Period
The Kansas Jayhawk basketball team smothered the Washburn Ichabads 51-28 in a non-conference game at Topeka last night before the largest crowd to be seen in Whiting field house against the North Carolina conservative victory for the Kansas.
The Ichabbs were never able to solve the Jayhawker offense and never threatened the Kansas lead. Ry Belling kept up his torrid scoring score, collecting 18 points for himself in 30 minutes playing time.
Kansas took the lead in the first minute of play on a set-up by Kappelman, and at the end of six minutes the Washburn team was trailing 14-2. The Kansas队 sank basketball from all over the floor, and the team plettely baffled. The Kansas defense kept the Washburn team away from the basket in the first half, and the only goals the Ichabods were able to make were from well out on the court. Noble and Eibling beet the brunt of the first shot by every one on the starting five scored.
Ebling is Big Gun
Ebling opened the scoring for the second half, and the Jayhawkers ran their total up to 54 in the first five minutes of the second period before the Ichabods were able to tally. Noble, Ebling, and Pralle were the big guns in the second half scoring, and ran the Jayhawker at top up to 43 points before they were able to play ten minutes remaining to be played. An entire new team went in at this time and played the remainder of the game, holding the Ichabods even.
Noble turned in a good game at center, making several tip-in shots that had the crowd gasping. Ehleng had to pick up his trick shots and could not be stopped. Praille had a good night. He scored six points and did a fine job of guarding, several times breaking up plays. Kappelman and Allen turned in their tricks, both guarding. Kappelman daring a fine bit of guarding without collection any fools.
For Washburn, Fee showed up well,
making several of his two-handed over-
head shots.
Celebrate "Naisim Amir"
The game was designated by Wash-
land University, and a per-
cent of the gate receipts were donat-ed to the Naisim fund. Dr. Naisim
wuest of honor at the game, and the halftime intermission was given over to a pageant dramatizing the invention
of the mystery of the game by Dr.
Naisim.
The Jayhawkers' next game is the social one with Nebraska at Lincoln, where they will win. They will begin serch preparation for this content, as the Husker still have an outside chance to knock the Jay- hawker off the top ring of the Bix Six ladder.
