Thomson Is Up to His Old Tricks
Again . . . Salesman Noble . . .
Ear-Muffs and Nose-Muffs. . .
There's Nothing Like a Tree . . .
Now Professor . . . Mae West
Jenks.
Glad to hear (and see) that Phi Thomason, my mute-brained friend, is back in school this semester. Seema he has wasted very little time in getting back into the swing of things. You know that old play-Thomason to Hoffman to Thomason to Deer-or something. It's an old play, I know, but personally, I thought he had given all that sort of stuff (not by choice of course), and I think he's been quite a queen of college life. I'll bet Charley Brown will be glad to耳览 your arrival, too. Gooh—what popularity! Don't forget about all those masty cracks you made due to Daisy, and remember your New Year's resolutions—Phill!
Ray "Beebust" Noble, the super salesman of the campus, has the whole Kansas basketball team superstitions about chewing gum while they are on the court or playing to the team before each game, but on two occasions he forgot to bring his little bag along and in each of these games the Kansas team came close to being defeated. New they won't take responsibility; they are chewing that "superior product."
Couldn't help from noticing the ear-muffs that are being worn by quite a few of the Chi Omega gals. They must be the hot stuff! Suzanne Engleman, who was a native New Yorker, she hasn't the nerve to wear them. She further says that she's truly in favor of such a device, though, and even thinks that a nose-wool wouldn't be out of the way. "I'll probably just bring something that bothers us—how do you girls hear with those ear-muffs on?"
You know—youd be surprised to see the number of students interested in our great out-of-doors, the trees, flowers and staff. Why, the course in Trees and Shrubs alone boasts (2) of a good half a million students. Now there's the Dale O'Rille. Ann Haley Horton, Harry Smith, and Joseph Edmond Griswald, Chamele, and a bunch of others. It does my old heart go to see so many. For a while, I thought it was going to be the only one in the business—I don't mean the seen like!
Camnus Calendar
Hoard a good one on Professor Moore, of the English department. Secrets that Prof. Moore, during one of his final examinations, left the room. He was seen with his camera and then tiptoe back to within three or four feet of his classroom door. There he stood, listening intently, for a period at least fifteen minutes. He then opened his eyes, turned to face someone from down the hall, instead of from just outside the door—tricky, you know. Well, it's a good one on the professor anyway, 'cause his students knew it all the time! I tell you—they always someone ready to take the joy up.
Understand that Judy Jencks is going to appear at the costume Beaux Arts Ball, as Mae West. February 14, 2016. I know she's going to O'well yes, that ought to help make an attractive affair—to say the least, so I think FIg will go and see her myself. Don't know why. I'm sure she's on siren and go as Grandma. Did ya ever hear of her?

Since its crude beginning with a couple of pearl backpacks and a soccer ball in 1891, Dr. Naismith's game has become known the world over and is now one of the major sports. It will become a part of the Olympic games for the first time in Berlin, Germany, next summer.
It is to send Dr. and Mrs. Naismith to these Olympic games and to erect a memorial to him, that the national "Naismith Week" has been sponsored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Haskell and Lawrence high school have already had their Nismith nights, the high school turning in over $18 from one gue's recipes.
Funds exceeding those used to send the Naiads to Europe will be used for a memorial to the founder of basketball to be erected here, his present home, or in Springfield, Mass, where he was working as an instructor in physical education at the time he originated the game.

The Famous "Rock Chalk" Has Lived For 50 Years; Been Heard Around World
The Kansas "Reck Chalk" called the most famous college yell in America has literally been heard around the world. The yell, which will be 50 years old this year, has been chanted before royalty, at their request, has sounded above the rour of battle in three wars, and its echoes have been heard across Alaska, the Philippines Islands and the diamond fields of South Africa.
During the World War enlisted men were so shuffled about that regiments were made up of soldiers from all states. Finally the University of Kansas men in each American military unit they passed they would chant, "Rock Chaw-aw, Jay Haw-aw" and pause. Then from the Kansas pee in the other would come the answering "Kay U-oo."
The French and Belgian soldiers were greatly impressed with this haunting novel, which dank soon became a trench cheer. The yell became so famous that
Jayhawkers Far Ahead In Big Six Cage Rac
The Big Six basketball race has reached the half-way mark now and Kansas still stands head and shoulders above the rest of the schools.
Defensive and Offensive Records Show Allen's Team Is Best
Team Is Best
Every school except Oklahoma has played at least five games, and every school except Kansas has lost at least two games. The Jahwahayers are leading in both offense and defense. They have averaged 36.4 points per porter-player.
Nebrake still holds second place, giving wint three games and last two, then going on to win a game from a game from the Jayhawkers, as their remaining game with the Kansas
points per game, due in no small measure to the 45 points scored by Kansas against them.
Oklahoma has moved into third place with two games won, two lost, and their fast-breaking offense has enabled the Sooners to average 333 points per game. Oklahoma may also be able to throw a wrench into the smoothly oiled Kansas machinery, as they have hit their winning stride after losing their first two games last week. On last week, Oklahoma made 18 of their first 23 shots at the basket.
The uncertain Missouri Tigers are now in four place with two victories against three losses. The Tigers looked like they were going to win but their opening conference contest against Oklahoma resulted in a surprise victory for the Tigers. Their next three games showed the Tigers on the short end of the score, but they came from a back-to-back loss to No. 10 Steam. The Tigers have averaged 29 points to their opponents' 32.
toward the ability to do every much this year. They have won two games and lost four, and have averaged 27 points per game to their opponents 34.5. The Cyclones have had a hard time getting under way this year, and the loss of eight games has helped to ruin their chances of inflicting much damage this season.
So far no one seems to have any chance of nosing the Jawkawen out of the load, but the season is only half over. The lack of support between now and March 6.
Kansas State is holding the cellar down, having won only one game out of five. The Wildcats have averaged 29 points per game but their opponents have averaged 16. The Wildcats have two high scorers on their team in Burns and Groves, but the team doesn't have 20 points by himself against Oklahoma, and Groves made 17 points against Iowa State.
Alien Out for Political Office
Donald C. Allen, 1931, of Oklahoma has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for state senator from this district, comprising 25% of the state's seats and practiced law in Ottawa for a year *lowering his graduation, and is now completing his second term as county attorney of Jefferson County. This is *eforce* him to act as *staffer* for the district, under the pla which is used by the two counties.
returning troops brought back tales of hearing it in the midst of battles, and its fame continued to spread.
Company H of the 20th Kansas infantry took the yell to the Philippines in 1898, and it became the battle cry of the soldiers there. The yell was also used during the Boxer rebellion in China. Nobility assembled at the Olympic games in Anterbury requested that a typical American college yell be given. The colleague, John A. Stets got together and chose as the most representative and impressive the Rock Chalk of the University of Kansas.
E. H. S. Bailey, professor of Chemistry here until his death in 1833, originated the yell and submitted it to the University Science club which adopted it on May 21, 1880. By 1887 it was officialized as the name of the original form "Raza Ruh Jajawkh, K. U." given three times with a quick accentato accent.
By a gradual series of changes the yell can to have its present form about 1905, and it has been unchanged ever since.
Prof. A. R. Marsh, who was connected with the English department from 1886 to 1889, suggested that "Rock Chalk" be substituted for the "Rah, Rah", when he observed that it not only rhymed with Jayhawk but also symbolic of geological period which covers much of Kansas and which there are several outcroppings on Mount Orbue.
The meaning of the term "Jayhawk" is remarkably indefinite. One version is that it suggests the hardships through which the pioneers fought and labored to make Kansas a free state. Another version is that it suggests the hardships of 40' persons who perished on their way to California gold fields during the great rush of 40'. This the version given by Lincoln Phloer in his poem, "The Dramas of Kansas". Still a third version, which is sometimes taught to Kansas soldiers to battle life along the Missouri-Kansas line were known as Jayhawks.
Oxford Man Visits Campus
s Touring World on Whitehead Memorial Studentship
A. Wright Rhodes, Oxford student, was a visitor at the University during the mid-semester vacation. While at the University Mr. Rhodes visited some of the fraternity houses to observe the fraternity plan of self-government. He also made visits to Dean Paul B. Lawson and Dean and Mrs. Henry Warner.
Rhodes left England on July 20, sailing from London. He went down through the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, across to Colombia, Ceylon, then on to Australia and New Zealand. From there he sailed to San Francisco. He also visited Hollywood in California and rested Skipley Temple.
Mr. Rhodes was awarded the Whitehead traveling徒休学期 last summer. The tour fund was founded by Sir George and Lady Whitehead in memory of their two sons who were killed in the college city at Oxford. The only requirement for the Whitehead scholarship is that the recipient must be planning to enter the business world at the conclusion of his college career. Rhodes is planning to enter the cotton industry, but he will return to England. No scholarship work is required in connection with his world scholarship tour.
Rhodes says that he finds Americat the most interesting and hospitali country he has visited, and is enjoying his stay thoroughly. He has been fascinated by the color and movement of cities in this country from the day he landed in San Francisco. Rhodes plans to visit Chicago, Washington, New York and possibly Philadelphia before he sailed from New York for Liverpool. He hopes to go back to America afteriversity from Kansas City again before he leaves for Chicago.

Pekin Business Throttled By Union Strikers' Action
Guard City Water Plant To Prevent Possible Dynamiting
Kevin, III, Feb. 5—(UP) - Strikers throttled Kevin business life tonight and moved towards paralyzing industry "Flying squadrons" of aerospace companies gas stations and taverns. Of trouble, town-folk remained at home. Mayor W. E. Siderman posted guards about the water works for fear of dynamite.
Elated at their first success, strikers begin picketing the Flaishmann Yess plan and Quaker Outs and corn crops. They expect to take them tomorrow or the next day.
The "general strike" which threatened to be general for the first time since it was invoked at 8 a.m. Tuesday is in protest against police tactics at the American Distilling company. Tear gas has been used to protect workers.
A system of sentinels and flying squadrons has halted all truck shipments of food and fuel.
Out-of-town newspaper correspondents roamed the deserted streets trying to find someone to give them something to eat.
It was impossible to get a taxi ride, a gallon of gas, a sandwich, or a haircut.
The hotel owners stood at the windows of their dining rooms as the half-starved correspondents gathered for a free lunch.
Store owners closed their business when they were forced under implication of violence to find a petition asking removal of Police Chief Harry Donadee. Some of them put signs in show windows saying "closed on account of Union Holiday." Mayor Schurman turned over the responsibility for requesting state troops to Sheriff Ralph Gore. The mayor who said yesterday he might consider removing Donadee said today he had no intention of doing

Dave Conderman, Mgr.
Will Speak Tonight
Dr. James P. Warbassc
Warbasse Will Discuss 'Socialized Medicine
Afternoon
Additional Lecture To Be Given Tomorrow Afternoon
In addition to addressing the forum gathering tonight on the subject of "Co-operatives, the Only Way Out for Farmers and Workers." Dr. James P. Warbuse will speak this afternoon at 4:30 in the auditorium of the Administration building on the subject of "Socialized Medicine."
It had been expected that the afternoon meeting would be limited to medical students, but in view of the intense public interest in this subject, the meeting will be open to anyone interested.
Dr. Warbake comes well qualified to speak on both subjects. He practice surgery in New York for twenty-five years and is an expert on technical treaties, as well as books such as "The Doctor and the Public," "The Conquest of Disease," and "Medical Sociology." These books are used by the medical art by the public.
Dr. Warbasse, through his constant surveillance of economic developments, became interested in the co-operative movement before the war and became convinced that in this program lay the foundation for an applied co-operative principles to his plan of medical sociology, and has actively promoted courses in various colleges on this subject. He still lectures at a university recognized as an authority on surgery.
But his chief interest lies in the cooperative movement, and he has served as president of the Co-operative League of America since its establishment in 1918. He was a member of the Consumers Advisory Board of the NRA, and has acted as representative for the Consumers Legos on various other bodies.
Dr. Warbacek emphasizes that he does not seek the establishment of a system of state medicine and he is just one member of a public health system as are those who oppose what they term "state medicine." He would establish a better system of health protection, based on the fact that such a treatment would benefit. He believes that clinics, laboratories, and hospitals, owned and controlled by patients and prospective patients, should be established, based on the prevention of disease.
No admission fee will be charged to either the afternoon or the evening meetings.

Enrollment Total May Set Record For Spring Term
Psychological Examination
For New Students
Will Be Given
Friday
If expectations of officials in charge of enrollment this semester are fulfilled, attendance at the University of Kansas may reach a new all-time high, according to data exceeding slightly the record mark of attendance on March 1, 1951, of 4038.
Although the number of students will decline from the mark of 4246 in attendance last fall because of normal reasons, the expected 300 new students may boost the spring enrollment above the 1831 figure to a record number. At this time last year there were 3970 students in the University and Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, stated yesterday that but not over last fall" and as last year's spring enrollment of new students was 259 the expected 300 this year may result in a record number.
The exact number of University students will be known in a few days, as soon as the deadline for paying fees is pact, as a few who enrolled will withdraw because of sickness, failure to pay fees, and various other reasons, indicating points to at least an approximation of the 13d high mark.
Figures show that the number of students here has increased steadily since the decline in 1932 following the beginning of the college program. In 1932, enrollment numbered 3778, and since that time increasingly large numbers of students have entered school at the beginning of the spring semester to boost second semester enrollment. Students attending Liberal Arts and Sciences, for the benefit of students arriving late or wishing to change courses, will be held in Robinson gymnasium Saturday morning from 9:30 to 11:30, according to announcement from the College office.
Students wishing to make changes in their enrollments will enter the gymnasium at the east door, while these enrolling for the first time or enrolling late will enter at the north door.
It is emphasized that enrollment will take place only in the forefront. In the past students have sometimes had to leave, and found that they were too late.
In some instances clauses that were closed during the latter part of the regular enrollment will be re-opened Saturday, because of vacancies left by students who have dropped out in the meantime.
These students are urged to use this special period for changes or late enrollment, it is pointed out that any necessary changes may be made as late as next Friday, Feb. 14. After that the $2.50 fee will be charged.
The psychological examinations for new students will be given Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the main Auditorium, according to Prof. A. H. Turrow, who is the principal of the students except graduate students are required to take these examinations before enrollment is considered complete. Each student taking the test will be entered into a register when filled at the Registrar's office will complete that student's enrollment.
Because of the two day enrollment schedule and in order to avoid interference with the changes to be made in the enrollment on Saturday, it was necessary to give the examinations on Sunday and Thursday a hope that instructors allow students having conflicting classes to take the examination on that day.
Need New Band Members Both Concert and Military Organizations Report Vacancies
- Vacancies left at the end of the seseter in the concert band and the K. * U. Military band are expected to be recruited from the band. A band instrument and wants to secure membership in either of these Lands is urged to see Prof. Russell L. Wiley at
