Aims This It's Cold Air in the Law School .. Trouble Ahead .. Who Said These Japanese Have War on Their Minds All the Time? .. Persuals .. From Other Schools.
Hear that Professor P. W. Visselman, of the law school, requires that most of the windows in his classroom be opened during the course of his lectures every day. The same rule applied even to me, as long as the professor uses this as a means of keeping his students awake. Can't help from feeling a little sorry for some of you lawyers, but that's what you get for taking such courses.
Hear that Katie Hurt, Kupa queen, and Bill Jones, of the Sig Algebra club, are contemptulating a pairing of the two students for disagreement, though, so no harm can be done. Of course—they might have changed their minds by now, I demand.
Not long ago, we read that the musical-show programs in Japan nearly always carry the name, address and telephone number of every girl in the chorus just in case you wish to call and tell her how much you care her dancing. Tactile-these "Japanese" a "Ways and Mans" arrangement.

Bill Rodgers, yeah, from California, is back from the hospital. Can't figure out why they didn't keep him over there and get him to rest. I guess the other patients were feeling bad enough as it was—so they turned him up. Somebody still suffer for them.

Understand that Ed Wilford, the teacher's pest, has taken to wearing two shirts, ub-huh, at the time name. Someone thought that it was due to the cold weather we have been having (haven't you?) but did not think this as a means of safety-first. Get it? Well—neither do I, but it seems Ed is always wanting to go some place but he can't because his shirt is to be dirty. Now—if this happens to be the case, he merely slips shirt No. 1 in the clean shirt (No. 2). Not a bad idea, but personally, I like pa-jama tops!
Then there is the case (and a sad one, too) of Howard Moore who has the museum to him. He might be Howard, old boy—yeah, you might have exposed someone!
Read in the Ohio State Lantern that their school (or someone) had started a movement to make debating more interesting by selecting popular topics. To start the movement off in the proper manner, two sorrowly neophytes debated on the subject, "Resolved. That the Head Is the Butt End of a Goal."
The Oklahoma publication of the University of Oklahoma boasts that their paper is "More than a student newspaper." We quite agree with them.
PROE. LAUREL E. ANDERSON

City Coal Supply Is Being Rationed By Local Dealers
University Fuel Supply Is Sufficient To Last to April; Says
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1936
Bayles
WEATHER
The report for Kansas says that it will be clear and not quite so cold generally throughout the state tonight. Tomorrow is also expected to be clear with a let-up in the extreme cold.
Faced with the prospect of continuance of the cold wave which has held the entire mid-west in its icy grip, Lawrence coal dealers yesterday were rattling out coal to customers in haste for an early return of more seasonable weather. Many dealers were far behind with their orders, and every shipment of coal that came in was immediately bought up and distributed. Lawrence had no buildings and grounds, said the University has sufficient coal on hand to last until April 1. The power plant is burning between eighty and ninety tons of coal a day during the unusually warm summer, average is round forty-five tons a day.
Columbia, Mo., authorities yesterday ordered all churches and schools closed in an effort to keep enough coal on hand to meet the unprecedented demand of University of Missouri has enough coal on hand, however, to tide it through.
Pittsburgh Co. Fees
Hardly any townpeople for their present predicament, saying they refused to stock up in advance. Mr. Constant and other dealers met to discuss the issues from miles in the Pittsburg district, although one car of semi-anthracite was received today from Paris, Ark. The Pittsburgh co. commonly
Dealers said the unprecedented demand had exhausted the reserves, and the excessively cold weather hampered the miners, seriously curtailing the mining operations. The authorities are parcelling out the coal in an attempt to make a fair division.
At present there is no prospect of temperatures above ten degrees in the eastern part of the state, and coal men will be required to again accumulate sufficient reserves.
Warmer in the West
Warmer temperatures are prevailing over the western part of the state, but last night did not appear to be moving this way. Highways throughout the state are open now, and no further precinture is in sight.
Coal men say they are unable to do anything but wait for warmer weather. The present emergency, they say, should serve as a warning to residents, and should induce them to maintain a sufficient supply in the future. Reports of incoming shipments throughout the day sent many people to telephone in an effort to procure coal, and said only two cars were received.
OFFICERS WILL MAKE PLANS FOR YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB
The officers of the Young Republican Club will hold a meeting the latter Friday at the Club to line a program and discuss plans to be carried out during the second
Prof. R. H. Wheeler, head of the psychology department, spoke Monday afternoon before the Psychology club at its regular meeting. The topic he discussed was an account of the future high schools in New York City and the schemes of the historical cycles. The meeting was held in the Administration building.
Quentin Brown, 138, president of the club, said that the exact date for the next general meeting has not been set. The meeting was decided by the officers at their meeting.
Election of new members was post poned for two weeks.
Commission Discuss 'Friendship'
Members of the freshman commission of Y.W.C.A. conducted a formal meeting yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in the freshman hall. Dr. Fausti da Fausti, da Fausti, was in charge of the discussion, "Friendships of Men and Women."
HIGH SPOTS OF CIVILIZATION DISCUSSED BY PROF. WHEELE
Instructors Are Ill
Professors Gagliardo and Lloyd Mettler of the School of Business faculty were unable to meet their classes yesterday because of illness.
Ecce Homo—Ernest Lindley
For fifteen years, there has been at the University of Kansas a man who is well-known in national educational circles. His advice was sought recently in the promotion of the National Youth Administration and especially the College Student Employment Project. At present, he is a member of the President's advisory committee of 37 under the NYA.
Today, this man, Chancellor Lindley, will be honored at an All-University convocation. The president of the University of Minnesota, Dr. L. D. Coffman, and Walter G. Thiele, Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, will speak at this convocation. No doubt, they will discuss the Chancellor's position as an educator, his prominence in national administrative circles, his degrees, and his other attainments of public importance and honor.
We wish to honor Chancellor Lindley in a different light. We do not wish to laud his public life—others will do that. We wish to praise Chancellor Lindley the man, as a friend to the student. In his every-day life, he has the welfare of the students at heart. He is not on too high a plane to speak to the student, to discuss at length in his own office, some trouble of an undergraduate and offer friendly, common-sense advice.
Out of love for a friend and respect and admiration for a nationally prominent figure, every student should attend this convocation. And while others salute Chancellor E. H. Lindley as educator, statesman, scholar, we salute him as Ernest H. Lindley—the man.
