Some gal called—wouldn't give some, but favored old "Snoop" with a smile. Delia Tan, received a bouquet of panies with a card which read: "From your loyal friends and most stuunch guests, who recently elected president of the lodge."
Some of the back-office boys of the Kansas are complaining about Professor Doin's absence—mindlessly walking off with their smoking tobacco. Doin has been in some places, but the boys believe they have the "goods" on the professor. Anyway, there is room for an arsenal of kids. So seems Shore is the biggest loser.
The "Snoop" and his associate "Stogues" have been wondering whether or not J. B. Berry, from the University of Chicago, is one of the Alpha Chi gi's, are going to continue their dancing sessions in at Brick's. There's nothing like good, but he has a wonderful time when the next act is to be held. We don't want to miss it. Thank you!

Dave Kelso, the Beta's Bean Boom boy, flashes the news that Mary Frances Depew, an Alpha Chi freshman, has been the subject of recent Beta bull-sessions. Ah—hems the boys are trying to figure out a way to cover up the false rumors that accused the little Miss of being all "stupid." The students are in soita function like a crutch—to help the gal get around!
If you should call the Chi Opsome within the next few days, and Hattie Hi-School answers with "Kiss-me quickly. Quickly," don't take her at home—it's just the latest result of information—the Snoop didn't try it.)
Understand that Kay Willard, Phi, is sporting a brand-new diamond ring. Mark Robertson, a "babe" from the college he school last year, is the lucky金 key. Kay just returned last Sunday from a somewhat delayed, or extended, between-seemless vacation. but it has been a pretty good excuse. Congratulations.
They tell us that John Malone has quite a collection of rare (care meaning-of an uncommon nature) hats. The one he has been wearing most recently (a favorite of his fans) is a very novel creation of his, to say the least—(and that's what we intend to do). You'll have to admit, though it is a rare one.
Betty Lou McFailand, a Pi Phi, who in recovering rapidly from a recent accident, wore a headband in fine shape. Not long ago, she dropped a radio on her foot. We might add—the radio in working conditions of the Music Goes Round and Down.
The latest pun comes from Marty Davis, Theta has, who says, "Dorothy" Fry-ed, and she's seeing Stotts before ever!"

And if any of you guys and you gals have a little "dope" you'll like to see in this column, just drop us a line or so, and we'll see what we can do about it. This depression has been sore hard on good news, and your letter or calls would certainly be appreciated. haven't any news in mind, call 2838, and the "sooop" will be glad to go to the show with you—or something.
FEES MUST BE PAID TODAY IF FINE IS TO BE AVOIDED
All fees must be paid by 5 o'clock the afternoon if a fine of $0.60 cents for every day overdue is to be avoided. Students not paying fees will be withdrawn from classes.
Each hour seems to see the line waiting to pay fees lengthened. In the afternoon rush it extended from the business office to the west end of the Administration building. Karl Kloes, barron, announced that approximately 2900 students had paid their fees by yesterday afternoon.
Nine Tracksters Declared Ineligible Because of Grades
Scholastic Difficulties Dea Death Blow to Big-Six Track Chances This Year
Kansas track hopes receives another
seven backset when semester grades
were handed out. At least nine men
will not be out for track because of
ineligibility, and several others have
voluntarily dropped out of school.
This, coupled with the fact that many of the men who were out last year have failed to report, has reduced to a minimum Kansas' chance of putting up any serious opposition to the other members of the Big Six.
Among those declared ineligible were Dalton Landers, Arkansas City, sophomore pole vaulter and hurdler, and Don Bird, Lander's teammate, who hails from the same place and is also outstanding in the same events.
Hope in Sophomores Fades
Not Stewart, burden from Dollar Falls, Calif. on the West Coast and Tenghenhong, former Wyandotte high and Kansas City Junior College middle-disc
Grant Barcus, football letterman who was counted on to take over the lion's share of the work in the weight department, has dropped out of school and is now a basketball player City, and George Stapleton, another football man who was being groomed for the javelin throw, with withdrawn from school to enter Bethany college. Ralph Caldwell and Robert Cameron, distance runners, and Hugh Crane, basketball players, will make the scholastic hurdle and will not be available for duty this semester.
Others Leave School
Counter Cunningham, distance runner who made his letter last year will not be back this year, and Ernest Klann, distance man, has also failed to return. Alvin Rowland, dash man from Raytown, M., also failed to return.
Meet Scheduled Saturday
With these men lost to the team, the outlook for Kansas in indoor track is rather dark. Early in the season Coach Hargiss was worried about the pressure of a national championship candidates to report for practice. The crop of sophomores had plenty of ability, but semester grades have taken their toll of these men and Coach Hargis will have to build almost an entire team from the few remaining men.
Meet Scheduled Saturday
Kansas has a meet scheduled with
Kansas State for next Saturday under
the Memorial stadium here. This meet
was set for last Saturday, but wow,
but wow conditions. Unless it warms up considerably, it is feared that the two teams will be unable to meet this week.
Coach Hargis has been working his charges out regularly, but is working under a severe handicap with such cold weather. He hopes to have his team in shape, however, in time for the indoor season, which opens soon

Now that fees are paid, students are looking over their receipts and wondering about the items listed there. They see one three-dollar item—they remember they paid it last semester, to "Health service," the receipt roads.
"Yes, it is a lot of money—that $ we pay each year for 'health service,' but in terms of benefits to students and students in many similar institutions, it is relatively low. It has grown through the years from 50 cents to $2 and on up to the present $6, but we have given bad students a similarly increased service.
State and Nation Mourn Passing of Charles Curtis

Landon, other state officials, and many other justice heads headed the throng which filled every seat in the chambers.
Elaborate Floral Displays Floral displays were the most elaborate ever seen here. Mr. and Mrs Herbert Hartworn, during whose administration Curtis was wife-president, served on the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and chiefs of several Indian tribes also sent flowers.
The American flag and the Kansas flag stood at opposite ends of the coffin. Nearby lay a bow and arrow sent by the Kaw Indians to be buried with their belongings. In ground, Curtis was one-eighth Kaw. Dr. Harold Case of the First Methodist church read the funeral services. Organ music and the singing of a quartet were brought to the hall from the telephone and broadcasting equipment.
Elaborate Floral Displays
"He was a man of such standing in the hearts of his fellow men that a whole nation today is grieving for Charles Curtis, rather than for a senator." "May the great spirit speed his steps to the happy hunting ground."
Burial was in the Topeka Cemetery next to Curtis' wife.
Relatives present included Mr. and Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister and brother-in-law, and Mrs. Webster Knight, Providence, R.I. Senator Arnor Capper lead the honorary pearl bearer. The Shulman County guardian who he was a member conducted a special meeting to pay him tribute.
inated about 1906, when a Benefit Health Association of 42 members, each of whom paid 50 cents into a general health fund, was formed. During the first year only two students were cared for by the funds of the association
By 1908 the association had grown to 742 members who each paid $2 yearly. A hospital building was fitted up on East Campus in the present. The housing arrangement continued with the association struggled along by itself, trying to survive and working always for an increased membership, until in 1916 a group of patients entered the picture and took over the health association's work. In 1919-20 the present Faculty Women's Club building was the hospital. In the former year the present health fee came under control.
In 1921 the hospital was moved to 1406 Tennessee street where it remained until 1913, when Mrs. J. B Watkins recognized the need for a campus of its own and gave to the University the present beautiful Watkins Memorial hospital.
Building Ranks High
This building ranks among the finest in the United States. It has a large dispensary with laboratory and X-ray department, a surgical unit, record offices, and beds for 46 patients, or one bed for every 100 students enrolled.
Cold Wave Is Making Exit
The professional staff consists of three full-time physicians, an interne who comes from Bell Memorial hospital, and a nurse, a physician and filing clerk, a laboratory techni-

White House Conferences Held To Lay Plans For Trimming Expenses
In other states, main highways were reported clear. South Dakota was reported still snowbound.
Weather conditions were reflected on the livestock market. Hog prices soared to the highest level in four months in the Chicago stockyards. Paralyzed transportation reduced shipments to the smallest total in history.
Washington, Feb. 11—(UP)—Press President Roosevelt said today that the New Deal is awaiting a triple-edged attack on the housing market, an earlier budget estimate out of line and called for federal expenditures involving the national debt and the rising
He said he expected to have the solution ready within a week. Meantime, the White House is collecting daily reports from the various bureaues. Conferences are being held with heads of federal lending and spending agencies in order to re-arange the New Deal's federal response. Mr. Roosevelt added, have discussed the following question:
1. How much money appropriated or authorized for federal bureaual and state agencies?
2. How much money could be saved by trimming present authorizations or by cutting them off?
3. Re-examination of appropriation which affect the budget or the deficit.
Cancelled Authorized Loans
The first move in the program came last week when agencies canceled loan authorizations to lending agencies totaling nearly one billion dollars. These authorization, however, did not affect either bid of the
The president today did not indicate whether he had a definite financial goal in prospect or how much money he would have to represent represented by Representative Adolph Fabah, Democrat. The White House conference was eager to avoid higher taxes now and insistent that Congress make appropriations to necessary expenditures.
Fabath and members of the House Democratic Steering Committee, which he heads, renewed the legislative situation with Mr. Roosevelt and assured him that every effort would be made to secure legislation, grant and send Congress home early.
To this observation of Fabath's, the president said, "That's fine."
The congressman asserted that the chief executive is working on a special report, bringing the financial condition of the various government departments up to date in connection with the budget needs for the coming fiscal year.
President Roosevelt included the amount he would keep for relief needs during the 1937 fiscal year in his budget to Congress. Secretary of Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., subsequently fixed this figure at two billion dollars when he appeared before the United States Senate tomate the effect of immediate payment of the soldier bonus on government finances.

Complimenting Chancellor Lindley on fifteen years of active service at the University, President Coffman said, "From his boyhood, Dr. Lindley was animated by the spirit of the explorers and the frontiersmen, and in his later years he worked in connection in the industrial world and to experiment in social and political theory."
"His unfailing courtey, his gentle manner, his impressible optimism, his kindness, his strength of interests soon win the admiration of all those who come in contact with him. He long regarded him as one of the greatest angel figures in American education."
Present and Future Orders Discussed
President Coffman also discussed the present and future social order of America. "There is no salvation in a policy of drift," he said. "There are some things men want and mean to take on in universal peace, tolerance, international unity, and the opportunity for work."
To achieve these things, America must follow a sane, middle course, between the extremes of liberty, which result in chaos, and complete loss of
