Life's best moments! Yey-we were hit by it the other day when we received the following "dirt letter". And,gee whiz is nasty! It reads. (By the way - if you've got something to do, don't waste time by reading this.)
LAWRENCE KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1936
"The following incident took place in Mr. Maddox's American Government class a few days ago. I thought it was rather funny, and since it happened to a girl who gathers dirt for the Sour Owl, I thought it would be pretty good if the tables were turned and a little dirt was dished on her.

"Well, Betty Wasson was arguing pro and con on the question of the prison parole system. The professor was asking his best to convince her that it was impossible to get her out, said girl remained unconvinced, saying emphatically, "If a person does something to in prison for, let him stay there." 'Oh I don't know,' replied the prof., 'no doubt you have done some things in your past Miss Wasson that you wouldn't be held to acclaim when in the class room, and was her face red.'
Now I ask you-is this racket of writing a column work, or is it work? To think that we are in need of some news (readable-anyway) and then get stuff like that? That next time (I hope not), send it to the Sour Owl. I understand they'll print anything because they know it won't be read!
Some say that if all the Pi Phis stood side by side, they'd reach half way across the ocean. Many are in favor of this scheme!
Everyone seems to be behaving in fine fashion—this week anyway—and no doubt it’s because of these finals that he’s at a premiere, and that’s why I’m going to keep my eye (the good one) on Ernie Sturgison.

And speaking of quizzes, the absent-minded professor that we would like to see right now is the fellow who would give a final to his steak and cut his
Understand that Fred Harris had his car stolen last night. That's his story anyway, but we have an idea that probably Jo hid it somewhere to sort puns Freddy for misbehaving last Friday morning. Of course, that's a guess.

A recent magazine article carried the statement that the chances of being hit by a fall from a building in Kansas only one person would be struck in 14,000 years. My guess is that if such a thing ever did happen, Professor Lou, you'd be the

Midwest Regional Meeting
To Be in Wichita
Feb. 14-15
Five members of the faculty of the University are on the program of the Midwest Regional Conference of the Progressive Education association at Wichita, February 14 and 15, the program committee announced yesterday. They are: Dr. Raymond Wheeler, department of psychology; Dr. W. Russell, Department of History; Dr. Burstursey, and Dr. Bert A. Nash, all of the School of Education.
Last year the Midwest Regional conference was held at Kansas City. This year it will be held in Wichita, the first time it has ever been held in Kansas.
The association was organized 15 years ago at Washington, D.C., by parents and teachers in an effort to modernize the schools. It was contended by them that the schools were too inflexible, that they required the individual to be able to work independently instead of having a flexible system to fit the needs of individual.
These conferences are for the purpose of exchanging ideas with a view to improving student organizations are designed to interest not only school men but also parents, members of the parent-teacher organizations, church men, club women, and Legion-
Several prominent speakers will be on the program in addition to faculty members from state schools.
Begins Defense of Title
Kansan Will Run In Wanamaker Mile Race in Madison Square
Glenn Cunningham let it be known Tuesday that he would defend his thrice-won laurels in the Wanaka man-made in Madison Square garden, Feb. 14 and June 24, reports he planned no further competition during the indoor track season.
With the receipt of Cunningham's entry, another fine field is assured for the Milrose fixture which the Kansas has he started; in 1933 1944 and 1953.
Arrayed against him this time with be Gene Venkze of the University of Pennsylvania, former world's indoor mile record-holder; Donald Lush,灵敏ly able to handle western conference championship and record of 4.144 as well as the conference indoor and outdoor 2-mile and national A.A.U. cross-country crowns, and Archie San Romani, Emporia State Teachers' college youngster who came home to capture the national collegiate A.A. mile championship last year.
One more ace will be invited to complete the field of five to which the Wanamaker is limited. Bill Bonton would be the logical choice but he is passing up indoor competition this year. It is thought that Cunningham will help him get around. He does hold the world outdoor mile record of 4,087.6, the indoor mile record of 4,084. and the indoor 1,000 yards standard of 2,101.1, but he has likewise been the most consistent of the world's milers in the last three or four years.
STUDENT LEARNS TOO LATE THAT HONESTY ALWAYS PAYS
Hell Freezing Over
Has Nothing On Oread's
Old Time Blizzard
NUMBER 83
One student at Syracuse University has decided that somebody must be wrong.
Knowing that he would be asked to write a theme in class without benefit of reference material, he memorized an essay about his Class, turning it in as his class Digest.
It was returned with a notation to the effect that it was "poorly constructed and lacked unity." Instead of the expected A, the grade was D.
SPECIAL
Ann Arbor, Michigan, J2—(UP) Hell free over here on tonight. A little abandoned village, formerly known as Hall, was suffering from sub-zero temperatures that struck this section of the state. In addition the few remaining residents were considering a skating party—on the river Styx.
By Rex Woods, sp.
("Our Weather Crow")
Maybe Hell did freeze over, but that's a trivial matter when we hear the tales of the old timers who helped settle Mount Oread.
One man says that he was coming up on the Hill one morning back in '70 and that he was going to play basketball and then froze again, forming ice pellets as big as basketball. They fell with such force that a tribe of Indians, who had planned to attack the settlers, were killed.
That was the year Potter lake disappeared. Over two thousand ducks were swimming on the lake when the cold snap came. They had no chance to get away before their legs were frozen solid into the ice. However, they got together, all started flying at once, and carried the lake away.
The same old gentleman recalled how his hair has frozen after he had used too much water on it, and the cold spell remained so long that he didn't have a chance to get a hair-cut. Finally the man was located and it was kicked off.
Trudi Schoop Amazes,
Then Charms Audience
Interpretation of Various Scenes Executed By Dancers
An audience of 3000 people, filled with a keen curiosity to meet and apprise the much-discussed Trudi Schoop and her Comic Ballket, packed the University Auditorium Tuesday night.
The dancers came to Lawrence, after a two weeks' stay in New York City where they opened their first American tour. They stopped enroute here, to play to capacity audiences at Cleveland, Chicago and Milwaukee.
The program was something new in the field of entertainment. Nothing comparable to it has been seen in Law-rence. The audience at first seemed puzzled as to just what was being placed before their eyes.
Gradually, however, as one pantomime followed another, the charm and cleverness of the performance wove its spell and there was a steady crescendo of applause that called Trudi Schop Handel's footlights for repeated curtain calls.
The program was divided into two divisions. The opening scenes were calculated to demonstrate to the audience the tragi-comedies that result in new newspaper advertisements as "For Sale- Bred Gown; Never Worn." The second half of the evening's programs included a series of adventures of "Fridolin," depicting a naive boy's adventures in a world of pomp and fanaticism.
The keen satiate of the many scenes so cleverly acted out by Trudi Schoop herself as "Fridolin", and her assistants, was well appreciated by the audience who responded with an almost breathless attention as she blasted the pretentiousness of everyday life whose whimsical, subtle, and satiric humor.
One can well understand, after watching Miss School and her marvelous characterizations in which she dances quite as much with her hands as with her feet, why her American manager, S. Hurok, has insured her hands for $30,000. The work of Edith Huckleberry was invaluable, and other characterizations was particularly fine and she ran a close second to Trudi Schoop.
The music for the dances was written by Miss Schoop's brother and was inseparably connected with every pantime in an amazing manner. Two excellent pianists, Max Fielker and David Lefkowitz, played pianos on the main floor, had much to do with the great success of the performance.

Starting yesterday and continuing through Monday, Feb. 3, closing hours will be 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4, closing hours will be 1 p.m. it was decided by the WSAA, at a meeting held yesterday.

King Edward VIII Returns to Palace For Funeral Rites
All Day Humble Folk File
Past Plain Oak Cof-
fin of Late Kfng
George V
Sandringham, Jan. 23—(UP)—King Edward VIII came back to Sandringham tonight to follow his father's body to the grave.
All day the humble folk of the Sangham section filed past the flag-draped cofin in which lay the King's body, hands crossed on his chest.
Tomorrow King George's body will be taken to London in a railroad coach painted black on the outside, and hung with purple drapes inside.
He found a grieving line of foresters and farmers-persons to whom King George was the "squire" -floating past the dawn in the city. St. Mary Magdalene. Five hundred of these people were at the gate of Sandringham's palace when King Edward, wearing a derby and a dark overcoat, the driveway in a maroon limousine.
They greeted their new king in silence. It was not lack of respect for him, but respect for the man whose head was raised by the man that made them refrain from chewing.
Four local men, in their Sunday suits, guarded the coffin.
The journey to London will start at noon when the king's coffin, carved out of Sandringham's oak, is placed on a gun-carriage and trumped two and one-half miles to the railroad station. The next leg, a short route will be guarded by two hundred members of the Norfolk county courtship.
In London the body will be placed in Westminster hall where it will lie in state until Tuesday. Between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Friday, Saturdays, flowers will be allowed to walk past the coffin in single file. The general public will be admitted without regard to rank. Request has been made that the public not send flowers. No one carrying flowers or baskets will be held.
As soon as the coffin is placed in the hall, King Edward and members of his immediate family will group themselves around the fire while the Archbishop or archvice conducts a brief service. Then members of parliament will be admitted.
