Oval Angles on the Beaux Arts
Ball . . . We Apologize "Crutch"
. . . The Fickle Finger of Fate
. . . "Hell" Week Stuff.
A "Snooply" eye-view of the coming Beaux Arts Ball in the form of a Valentine from me to you: Place-Memorial Union ball room. Time-anytime Feb. 14 or Friday (take your choice, but make it after 8:30 p.m. plez). The Delta Phi Dia theater is at停放室 ultra-intraactive, de luxe and what have you . . . Professors Matern and Eastwood are doing their share, and then some. The latter is contributing a large partly-mute creation to hang behind the orchestra. ("Red" will be the only one in the orchestra who can am it, so the music will not be affected.) A concert hall, with the honor par excellence, is doing his bit (not a little bit) to add "color" to the scenery!
Squinting through the key-hole, old "Snoop" noticed the decorations. Main dancing floor appears to be something of a French picture gallery, etc. . . Two other rooms represent something in the same style as the key-hole, and you couldn't make it out.) Still another room (we weren't aware of so many rooms) will be dressed up as a studio. . . Carol Johnson and Don Silks (flying his own colors) will occupy this room, and will do sketches. . . Nepil-yil do you say, is that the room or to let them to do it, and for what? Nothing at all my freest!
A hasty glimpse at the contains再现: Betty Sterling, Alpha Chi sister, sister in a jockey's outfit ... Dorothy Winston in a dress that has a bliss lassie ... (no hope no scars are being exposed) ... Frank Ewing, New Sig EP way, as an Indian, providing his outfit arrives from home in time. He goes to the gym, one in a grass skirt. Ts said to be Hawaii's original stuff. (Notice: there will be no smoking allowed on the dance floor!) ... Judy Jenkins, blonde Kappa, is still determined to be Moe
Joan Long, well-known high school lass, is scheduled to give, as one of several entertainment features, a novel soft-shoe and tip dancing number. Understand she possesses "God - what a lady!" She will be well-earned by all the Benux Arts goers. Orchestra will be there (naturally yau sily) advised as artists (the painting kind) with berets, smocks, Bying, ties, everything—whoops! it all should be included, and if someone called the "Snow" a free ticket—hit out.
The "Smoody's" assistant, who submitted the little article about the Boston Bean. The article caused some misunderstanding. So if so our apologies to Mary and Dave. We still think "Crutch" was correct, and we've gone to remember it.
autorfurte certainly overlook Elena DuVall, Gamma Pi pledge who attended St. Mary's College last semester. Seems she decided that she should be closer to one Darri托丽, University student dwelling at the Pfilt Delt hotel, so she came eart! Ah—enrolling for the spring semester at K. U. was her happy thought of the hour—she could go home and back to school. Elena is now bracing school without her heart throb. This touches the "Sooop" deeply, but that's the way with Fanny Fate when she points her finger fickle.
The latest "Hell" week doke comes from Susie Engleman, C O plodge who gives us an ear-full on the Deli freshmen. Says they answer the phone

Changes Are Announced On C.P.A. Examinations
Applicants No Longer Need Experience To Be Eligible
The University committee on accounting has announced several changes in the requirements for applants to obtain an accountant examination. The former requirements made it necessary for a person to have four years of practical accounting experience before he could apply for a CPA license. Under the new ruling a person may take the examination without any experience and if he passes, the certificate of CPA will be issued to him. The University has three years of accountage experience.
This new ruling will make it possible for accounting majors to take the examination after graduation and gain their experience later. Frank Stockton, dean of the School of Business, said the new ruling would make it possible for accounting majors to take the next examination which will be held in May.
Another new requirement that will go into effect in 1940 will make it necessary for an applicant to have two years of college work before he is admitted. To meet this requirement, present, Kansas, like most other states, requires only a high school education.
Examinations for the C.P.A. certificate are given here at the University twice a year, in May and November.
Applications for the examinations are received by George Foster, registrar, secretary of the accounting committees.

Your Speakers Will Discuss Topic From Different Standpoints at Meeting
Because of the current interest in the subject, members of the Peace Action Committee are expecting a capacity crowd at the Forum on "Neutrality" to be held in the lounge of the Union building tonight at 8 o'clock.

Brocklain, professor of law; Rev. Carter Harrison of the Trinity Episcopal Church; John Ise, professor of econometrics; Dr. James Dunn of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will preside.
Professor Chubb will consider the political angle of neutrality with special reference to bills now pending before congress. The Rev. Mr. Harriet L. McDonald, a professor of history, Professor Ise, well-known for his sagacious satire, will present the economist's viewpoint. Professor Brockbank will speak from the lawyer's standpoint.
