It is the thirteenth consecutive victory for the Jayhawkers this season and extends their winning streak to fifteen games since their last defeat at the hands of the Missouri Tigers last year. Kansas took the lead in the first few minutes of play and was never headed, although the Sooners were within one ponit of overtaking the Jayhawkers twice in the first half. Ray Ebling, stellar Jayhawker forward, continued his brilliant working in the Oklahoma Gold --house by scoring 19 points to lead the rest. It was the fifth and final game of his career there, and in the five games he has averaged better than 18 points per game. on the SHIN By BUD EVANS, '36 More About the Glee Clubbers . J.

One of the Glee Clubbers reports that in Horton, Kan., the boys discover, by mistake we hope, that they had picked up a baby girl at the hotel in Hawaii, and had driven off with them. Seema the material belonged to a traveling salesman. Well—to make a long story more compelling, she bawled out for being so careless. --house by scoring 19 points to lead the rest. It was the fifth and final game of his career there, and in the five games he has averaged better than 18 points per game. Leave it to these Glee Club boys to make "shin'" news! Thanks a lot lella! Heard that one of them accidentally gave a taxi driver a five dollar bill instead of a "one spot," and hence, is out four bucks—careful deduction don't ya think? I imagine that the Dieter brothers had sort of a family fight when they went back to Lawrence, as a result of this sad mistake. Seems they have a joint expense account; Looks like you are the loser, John! That commotion heard at the Kappa house a few nightings wafted not caused by a fire, as many were led to believe. No, it was caused by the arrival of Jack (J. Ottawa) Richardson, the boy who was merely listening up for dinner. If the Betas, Phi Gams, and all the other boys had been listening, they might have discovered what it takes to sway our friend Bottom's affections. We also understand that Jack did very well with our friend, but I felt that fainting spell. Don't know whether it was the food, or that Toul personality, but anyway, Jack didn't feel so good, and he had to go home. Even if Jack "took" that Phi Gams' place, we won't hold it long if he acts, but I'll take another aspirate please! Understand that the Apilla Chii's still are getting mail at their lodge addressed to Mary Alice Woods, the freshman beauty queen, who did sort of a fade-out on the Alpha Chi's not so long ago. Evidently this doesn't set so well with the sisters of that club, but it is also true that the draft that was previously caused by the "air" Miss Woods handed them, but remember, I'm only guessing! (Continued on page 3) Can't help wondering why "Flossy" Kehl, that attractive little blonde number from the Kappa house, took such a sudden notion to go to Arizona for the coming semester, and without a word of warning, either. I guess it just got to the place where DeMotte is simply hinting her, and a change of 1.

To Fill CSEP Vacancies By Thursday, Says Olsen Sixty New Employees Will Be Hired Next Semester Assignment of students to fill approximately 60 vacancies in CSEP jobs, which is occupying the CSEP office this week, will probably be completed by Wednesday or Thursday, according to Miss Mary C.

Feb. Wednesday, or Thursday. Feb. Second semester class schedule. Miss Olson asks that all students who have jobs for this semester call at the CSEP office on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday to fill in second semester class schedule. Reorganization for the new semester presents a prodigious task to the CSEP office. It is necessary to check all grades, both of present employees and those who fall below the average of 1 grade point, and placing on probation those whose averages are between 1 and 1.5. Qualifications of the applicants must then be examined, and students with proper training and ability selected for them may proceed on probation until 80 degrees or on the day and downstream which are able for CSEP help. "As a whole, though," she points out, "CSEP students have been doing highly creditable work in their studies. During the academic year 1934-1935 the 823 students averaged 1.61 grade points per student. Of the graduates in the University was only 1.33. The greatest difficulty is encountered by first-stemmer freshmen, of whom some are carrying too great a load, while others have not yet been able to adjust themselves to the amount of work necessary to attain satisfactory grades. "We show as much compassion as possible toward these students. When an employee drops below a "C" average he must be dropped; but if his average falls between 1 and 1.5, he is not in danger of being fired. During this time he must raise his total average to 1.5, in order to be retained on the payroll." MARY C. OLSEN. Many of the vacancies this semester were caused by completion of college courses, while others resulted from inability of employees to maintain the scholastic average required. This average has been raised this year from 64.1% to 70.9%. Student Assembly Will Do Honor To Chancellor Lindley Dr. Coffman of Minnesota To Be Guest Speaker At Tuesday's Convoitation Dr. L. D.

Overheated Furnace Is Believed To Be Cause of Disastrous Blaze Last Night; No Damage To Adjoining Buildings Was Reported; Loss Partly Covered By Insurance Fire totally destroyed the United Brethren church building at Seventeenth and Vermont streets last night, as firemen, hampered by the sub-zero weather, battled fatfully to check the raging flames. Curtis To Be Buried In Topeka Next Tuesday Flames shot from the roof of the church and rose The blaze, which started presumably from an overheated furnace in the basement, had gained such headway by the time firemen arrived on the scene that they could only attempt to keep the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings.

While no official announcement had been made, it was understood all state officials would have to accept that every honor Kansas could confer would be bestowed at the last rites for the most distinguished and most widely known Kansas ever to represent this nation. Senator Curtis was one of the few remaining of the old line Republicans who were ultra-conservative and who opposed the party for more than a quarter of a century. Much of the fighting was done around Senator Curtis, and always he was in the midst of the debates between advocates and adversaries came to srira. Had Fine Record Evidence of the esteem and appreciation in which the people of Kansas held Curtius was shown by the way he maintained himself in high office no matter how low he performed, movements swept over the state. Only on one occasion did he go down in defeat before the 1532 landslide in which he and President Hoover were That one defeat was in 1912. Curtis then was one of the outstanding men of the United States state. But he rebelled and was defeated on several occasions when Kansas was going over to the Roosevelt Bull Moors. In the primary of 1912 Curis was defeated for a renomination by W. R. Stubbs, who defeated two terms in the governor's office. Two years later however, he was returned by a large majority, and soon became one of the outstanding leaders of the party. He was closely associated in political life with Clyde W. Miller, Topeka insurance man and with the dale D. W. Mulvane, national committee chairperson and vice-president nomination for Mr. Curtis at the 1928 convention in Kannass City.

Nearby houses were endangered, but efforts of firemen were successful in drowning飞ings sparks. 500 People Watch Fire A crowd estimated at 500 soon collected, despite the extreme cold and slippery streets, to watch the fire Traffic was congested for nearly an hour. The structure, completely destroyed, was estimated to be worth $20,000, by J. R. Edmonds, a director of the church. This loss was partly covered by insurance, according to Edmonds. The Reverend N. H. Huffman, pastor of the church, said that nothing had been recovered from the building. He had been in the parsonage until the fire engines arrived and was not aware that the church was burning. Water Freezes Immediately Water, played in the church and nearby buildings from all angles, immediately froze on the streets and sidewalks and caused many upsets among onlookers and firemen. One of the firefighters, carrying more hose toward the burning structure, lost his footing on the ice and fell hard on the pavement. Falling timber from the roof looked like a giant cannon; the danger. Speciators gasped when the church bell supports weakened and the instrument fell into the blaze with a clang.
