A splendid Observation . . .
Ninety-Eight Gabs Stuck Up . . .
Shore Gotta Have Religion . . .
Theta Pranksters At It Again . . .
“Red” Blackburn Honored . . .
The Glee Club Boys.
Professor Jens P. Jensen pointed out a tall young man to Mrs. Jenseys as they were walking down the campus yesterday morning. Said the professor, "There goes our new instructor." And the lady knew his name, Professor Why. "Why -he looks intelligent!"
Read the other day where a well-known chewing gum manufacturer inadvertently included a large proportion of rubber cement in one of his batches of chewing gum. Ninety-three sorosity girls were said to have died of starvation when their jaws became firmly cemented together. Five more died of starvation on the same day, the deaths to "chewicide". Dangerous stuff—this chewing gum!

Our old pal Shore has deserved the journalism department this semester, and is taking work in the School of Religion. All we can say is that it won't do him any harm. We don't do the journeyman or the harm either—so I'm told. No offense!

Hear that of the Theta pranksters decided to have a bit of fun last night by breaking a stink bomb in the living room. Good clean fun you know! The stairs were forced to run up three flights of stairs, and lock themselves in the "free-for-all". What—you don't know what the "free-for-all" is? Well, Catherine joined the others where all the sisters "pool" their forms so in case one of the gals is invited out (yeah-Hartley says it happens all the time) she (the popular one) can have her choice of the evening wear-or-cover herself with a stink bomb—and I don't think I will!
Now that the ex-Pi Phi flash (the Dodge City one) is married, and the drinks have been passed, etc., etc., we understand that Gene Haughey, a Pi Delt who recovers quickly, has begun his social duties anew. This time he seems to be starting from the ground up, so he has given his choice) his greatest attention on one of the Pi Phi newest freshmen. Haughey isn't so sure about this ground floor business—it seems—so he still plans to keep an eye in the direction of one of the Pyle sisters (either Pyle-it doesn't make any particular difference) of the same lodge. This last bit of news should sort of keep the focus overging over-confident—tweed seem. Gloe—has Hope Hambus was right about all of this!
Seems like Peggy Anne just laughed and laughed cause she knew she'd get a "C" out of the course anyway!
Heard that some freshman approached "Red" Blackburn (you know—the guy with the top hat and tails) the other day and asked, "Are you any relation to THERAPY LEADER?" We don't know what Blackburn's reply was, but it wouldn't be hard to guess. Possibly the new fellow haven't ever heard "Red" band play, or else he wanted to borrow a drow or so. He didn't. But top hat and tails for the costume Boux Arts ball! I hear they're offering a prize.
Seems the Glee Club boys have been having quite a time of it. The latest report comes that they were last seen at a Country Dance club in Marysville. The report says that they all had dates with some of the local high school girls. There are also reports of the girls insists that Les Rees is the farthest girl she ever seen. Tsk! Tsk!

Accent on Youth' To Be Given Here Tomorrow Nigh
Ethal Barrymore Colt, latest heires to the Barrymore stage genius, will make her first appearance tomorrow night on the stage of Fraser Theater. The youngest of the acting Barrymore family, she is possessed of a grace of manner and a charism which, at times, seems to leave her carrying her as far as her famous mother and her two uncles, Lionel and Johr have gone in the stage world.
thel Barrymore Colt Will Have Featured Part In Famous Play At Fraser
Although she has been in a position to capitalize upon the family name she refused, in her apprentice days, many of her friends were often be offered out of respect for the reputations of her family. She studied in Paris, worked hard to create a name on Broadway, ultimately formed her own company, and is touring the country with one of the best of the New York shows, "Accent on Youth."
Highly Recommended
Winifred Stillwell, a former University student who was well-known as a local actress for the Kansas Players, and who has since traveled widely with the theatrical companies, writes that she gave Ebel Barycott McCormick in "Inaccent on Youth" in Bristol, Va., and that the novel won the New York production of the play.
A great many persons have expressed pleasure at the return of the "road show" business which has had a better season this year over the country than for a very long while. Prof. J. P. Brown of the department is in good spirits and said, "I grew up with the legitimate theater. I am very happy whenever I have a chance to attend a good legitimate theatrical production."
Stage Is "Coming Back"
A great many people feel that the stage is making a "comeback." It is hoped that everyone will take advantage of the low price which the department of speech and drama is offered, and Barrymore Colt and her company.

Madison, Wis., Feb. 6—UP) (Tf of fate Clarence W. Spears as University of Wisconsin football coach sustained another jolt today when he was accused of ordering noviates for an extra game in a hauled ones—even before repeal.
Trainer Testifies Against Spears, Wisconsin Coach
Novocaine and Liquor Were Given to Players, Fallon Says
Fallon, never a man to talk for the newspapers, or the public, brought an avid interest in his work from making a public declaration. He preferred to submit an affidavit to the government.
William Fallon, chubby good-natured trainer for all Wisconsin athletic colleges, investigated committee that he was ordered by Spears to administer a pain-killing narcotic, novosaine, to George Deanovic, minutes before he became president. He spiked with liquor was given the Wisconsin team between halves of the Minnesota game in 1932 and again in 1953 at Spears' direction. Failtest tested.
Regents Insist on Getting Facts
But the regents insisted on a complete disclosures of what had sat before the stern-faced regents and talked quietly with frequent references.
A conection of orange juice and sugar was tried on the Badgers in the Purdue game last fall, Fallon said.
The following weekend, just before the Northwestern game, Spears called Fallon and directed that the players be given brandy and coffee between
The Interracial Commission of the Y.W.C.A. met last night at Henley ley house. Dorothy Hodge gave a re-entry speech and commission of the Eates conferences.
"Let's not have any more of this orange juice and sugar," he quoted Spears as saying, "and don't let the fellows in the front office know about it."

Although no figures are available, there is a definite indication that the enrollment in the School of Business will be greater this year than ever before. The 10 per cent increase in Accounting I has made it necessary to add a 25 per cent increase in M. J. Juicus. Accounting II has a 25 per cent increase and another class in Economic History under Professor Jesen has been established while Mr. Jesen's class in Elementary Principles of Economics at 10:30 has been trans-ducted to Professor John Lee. The course in Accounting Systems has been withdrawn.

Falcon. Mewell involved.
Falcon would not get the inside into a room where he had mixed with the coffee privately so he did not administer it. After the game, he called on Dr. Walter Mewell, athletic director, for a "stimulant" to give John P. Williams an electric, who stood in the railroad station with his hair wet from a shower bath. Mewell, he said, gave him some whiskey, an act which the director of athletics at Spartanburg State University of Spartanburg. Falcon emphasized the fact that Golgusseq only asked for a stimulus and that a doctor such as Mewell might have just as well called for camper water; he could do both as a result of today's hearing.

'Capitalism Yields To Co-operatism,' Says Dr. Warbass
Forum Speaker Declare His Proposed Plan Is Non-Political
Move
"The co-operative system is here simply because of the inability of capitalism to keep goering forward. But cooperation is held up to its high standard by the presence of, or the imminence of, a competitive, profit-seeking rival," said Dr. James P. Warkasse before a meeting on two hundred persons last night.
Dr. Warbasse was speaking on the subject of "Co-operatives, the Only Way Out for Farmers and Workers". "Capitalism does not adequately meet present-day needs", Dr. Warbassse said, "but communism and fascism could be alike aimed at providing a means to empower a democracy. And that is where the co-operative serves.
Movement Is Independent
"Co-operatives acknowledge no creed or recognize no political affiliations They can exist side by side with political divisions, and in time of emergency
"A co-operative plan is feasible because it recognizes the individual as a consumer, and not as a worker. It is as a consumer that most economic problems are met, and Co-operation devices means of meeting these problems
Dr. Warbasse asserted that Co-operation did not contemplate a complete suzerainty of consumption, but that he knew that he must sell an absolute monopoly of markets.
When a sufficient number of persons in a community are interested in increasing their buying power, and have become interested in literature on the subject, Dr. Warbusse said, the next step is to make contact with representatives from North Kansas City, Mo., in this case, sell share capital and set up a retail store.
Gives Essentials of Scheme
The essentials of the scheme, according to Dr. Warbause, are that the cooperatives be democratically organized and shareholder, regardless of the amount of his holding; that invested capital receive only a fair, legal rate of interest, not mounting to the levels made by a profit-seeking organization; and that the difference between the price paid to the producer and the price paid by the consumer be returned to the councils in the form of patronage duties proportionate to the amount of purchase.
"It is a dull eye, looking over the world, that fails to discover a changing economic system," Dr. Warbasse said. "As capitalism calls to meet needs, governments do not because of government-controlled business is ideal, but because no other substitute has appeared in the breach, in many instances. But it is a notable fact that in countries with Co-operative ground around attacks is being made."
Dr. Wrathbeau offered a few figures to back up his assertions as to the extensiveness of the plan. In England seven million persons live under a co-operative society, he said, and spend more than a billion dollars annually. Over one hundred million people are united in the International Co-operative Alliance, which spends twenty billion dollars. The Scandinavian countries are especially forward in the adoption of this plan, and in Stockholm alone there are 340 stores serving 75,000 families. The stores are much finer than profit-seeking stores and the Scandinavians have come to accept cooperation as the nature order of business.

Training Position Is Open
Major Kansas Oil Company Offers Course To Chemists
Two application blanks and two outlines of training courses for college graduates were received recently by Dean Shaad of the School of Engineering and Architecture from an outstanding oil firm in Kansas.
There is a possibility of an opening in the company's training course at once and probably one or two more that have the opportunity to apply in June.
The firm would like to have men with a good scholastic standing, a good personality and leadership ability. They also insist the applicants be proficient in mathematics as there are no vacancies for other branches of the engineering profession.
Instructors To Open Office For Research on Pension Plan
Committee Will Study Proposed Retirement Bi
The Board of Regents recently appointed a committee to study the proposed Retirement Bill. The bill, if adopted, will provide retirement measures for the personnel of all five of the state schools in Kansas. The committee only recently started the study and no plans have yet been adopted.
The committee is composed of Frank Stockton, dean of the School of Business, chairman, and the following faculties: W. F. Kissick, economics; W. F. Kissick, economics instructor; L. H. Axe, professor of economics; W. H. Shannon, professor of economics; U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, and Karl Koesar, bsarz.
The committee, in its study of the bill, will try to determine who will be eligible for the retirement, the age at which they will be retired or the length of their period of service. The bill will provide plans for the retirement of faculty, and all employees of the five state schools which are located at Hays, Emporia, Pittsburgh, Manhattan and Lawrence.
The need for a plan of retirement should be discussed with some time. Many professors have resigned positions in Kansas schools in favor of those in states which offer a retirement plan. Most of the larger colleges and universities have adopted retirement plans of various kinds and an added incentive in attracting desirable professors and employees.
A room has been prepared in the Administration building to provide an office for the study. Professor Dade has turned his class in Elementary Statistics over to Lloyd Metzler, assistant instructor in economics, so he may devote his time to the study of the bill. He will be absent from classes leased from their classes in order to take up the study of the bill, it was announced.

KANSAS SQUAD
OFF TO NORMAN
FOR BIG GAME
Conference Leaders Will Attempt to Increase Lead As They Meet Sooners Tomorrow Night
EBLING HAS INJURY
Jayhawkers Will Attend Belated Kansas Day Dinner This Evening
The squad would work out this afternoon in a high school gym at Oklahoma City, and will go to Norman by bus. The Jayhawkers have been riding high, but the stage is all set for a recurrence of what happened in 1924, when the Sooners carried a Kansas game against by taking the thirty-fifth game 26-20.
Teams Gun for Jayhawkers
The squad is in good shape with the exception of Ray Elsing who is suffering from a stiff neck which he picked up in the Iowa State game. The team went through a light practice on Wednesday and came into mastication yesterday before leaving.
12 straight victories under its belt, the Kansas team is on top of the world at present, but every team in the league is out gaining for the Jawkowers.
mage yesterday before leaving. The Sooners are not to be taken lightly. They have a strong team which makes good use of the quick-breaking offense, and against Kansas State displayed an accurate eye for the basket, making good in 18 of their first 23 shots at the goal. The addition of Denny Lomax this semester, to the squad has bolstered the Sooners' stock a few notches higher. Playing in his first Big Six game Livingston, a guard, made six field goals against Kansas State to jump into the conference scoring lead. The return of Herman "Red" Nelson to the center post is expected to give the Sooners a much needed gain at this position. Nelson injured his shot on the home Angles, and did not play against Kansas State.
Will Be Naismith Night
The Oklahoma game has been designated as Naiismhite, and a blanket will be passed between the halves, the proceeds going to the Naiismhite fund. This will be the second game in which the Jawhakers have played that has resulted in a loss, as the proceeds of the Iowa State game went for the same purpose.
The probable starting lineups:
Kansas Oklahmia
Ebling f Warren
Allen f Connelly
Noble c Nelson
Pralle g Martin
Kappeiman smith
Officials: E. C. Quigley, St. Mary's; Parke Carroll, Park College.
