News comes (old news to many) that Lil Sands, Theta light (not a binding one, although a bit of that old stuff), and Katherine Hussey, a member of Sigma Chi, (but nobody claims him) have finally come to terms regarding the date of that great American tragedy—the wedding. Givens just won't get over it. Washington's birthday, it's nice to know that they've decided to bury the hatchet and they couldn't have picked a more appropriate day to do it either. Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs.

Seems like there has been a lot of things going on behind the "Snoop" back lately. Dave Hamlin isn't putting out a thing, but we happened to be in the Rock Chalk the other evening when two likely looking girls entered and proceeded to call said Hamlin up on the phone. Judging by the length of the conversation, the young lady didn't have to repeat her statement, and an adult stopped right on the tip of Daves tongue. Better warn em Dave—that's a public place!
Read in the paper the other day that a big part of the city of New York gosh darn it—my home town) was without lights for quite some time, and that many people were stranded on the subways. The funny thing is—it's been long enough that the lights had to go to out make news of the whole thing. Such stuff!
Heard that our friend Fields fell down Fourteenth street hill the other day while trodding along the slippery way back to the Beta house for another plate of beans; but I'm sorry, Lyman old boy, you'll have to break an arm or something to be good news in this column. You're welcome!
Art Cain (some say he's a Beta), who when he's not busy seeing to it that all the key-gals get to and from the church, he tells Jiltsi Chi Omega's, has turned his eye toward the Gamma Phi house here. Late yes, sir; girls—you'll have to speak sweetly to Art, or else you're apt to lose him. What—you want to? Well, pardon me.

And then she was the guy who said, "Say, did you see Petty's latest picture in Esquire—the girl had blonde hair!" Can it be that Mr. Petty is losing his art of portraying the figures of beautiful women—or was she facing the reader and looking over a transson? I donno—I didn't see it.

Cold and Snow
Bring Out Bobsleds,
Skates and Skis
With snow and cold weather here, students are casting about for forms of recreation and sport more suitable to cooler temperatures.
Skis, skates, and even bobdales have been called into use to provide entertainment and thrills for the more adventuresome. Others have set out to prove that the fine old art of snowballing has not been forgotten.
For those who want all the advantages of cold weather, without feeling the effects of freezing, ear muffs, stockings, glove mittens and mittens in very hands.
Among the more active advocates of winter sports are the Phi Gam, Betsa's Beta Sigma Nu who have been terribly busy sliding down hills, some without benefit of skis or sleds. Porter's Lake is a paradise for those who like to skate.
With more cold weather on the way, the difficulties for those trying to study for finals will rapidly increase. Weather observers indicated that the temperature last night was 10 degrees with more snow on the way.
Notify Parking Violators
Compulsory Payment Enforce Through Restrictions By University
Violators of the University parking regulations will receive their notice of fines within the next few days. The University business office has furnished a list of violators to the M.S.C. committee on parking regulations, with a list of these to be charged for last semester's violations. Kappelman will get in touch with each of the persons to fined in time and present the registering protests that might be just

Numerous tickets have been handed out, and single violators, in some cases, have as many as 10 tickets.
Investigate Airplane Crash
Foul Play May Have Caused Death of Seventeen Occupants
Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 18—(UP) —The American Air-Lane and the Bureau of Air Commerce acted tonight to determine whether foul play might have caused the crash of the air-liner, "Southernner," which dived into an Arkansas swamp with death for its seventeen occupants.
Their action followed a slurring or rumors that crept into the Bureau of Air Commerce inquiry into what caused the crash.
Major R. W. Schroeder, United States Chief of Air-Line Inspection, said the company had decided to drain the area of the crash scene in an effort to locate pistols carried by the pilot and copilot. The pistols, regulation equipment for all pilots, were not found in the twisted wreckage of the giant plane

Three Are Chosen For Debate Tour To Pacific Coast
Field, Zupanee, and Phillips Will Represent Kansas Before Western Schools
John Milton Phillips, William Zupanec, and Lyman Fields, three of Kansas' most outstanding speakers, have been selected to go to the west coast to represent the University on one of the most extensive debate enterprises in the history of University debate.
The schools in the order in which they will be met are University of Oklahoma, Southern Methodist University, University of Arizona, University of Redlands, University of Southern California, Lehman Stanford University, University of Colorado and the University of New Mexico. Plans for practice debates at other schools along the route are being worked out.
Accompanied by Prof. E. C. Buehler varsity debate coach, they will leave Wednesday, January 29, on a two weeks' trip that will take them to the Pacific coast and back where they will meet some of the best college and university debate teams west of the Mississippi.
"This is the most ambitious undertaking in the history of the University debate squad," said Professor Bucher, "and we have selected three of the most colorful debates that Kanaus has proclaimed. We have considered debate and speaking experience both at the University and previous to coming to the University. All three of these men have won for themselves a valuable position in the field of oratory."
Debaters Well Qualified
This is the first time that a Kansas debate team has ever gone as far west as the Pacific coast. In 1929 a team toured the east to the Atlantic coast.
Three questions have been selected for the contests, "The Socialization of Medicine," "Curbing the Power of the Supreme Court," and "The New Deal." The question on "Socialization of Medicine" will be argued at the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Arizona. "The New Deal" will be discussed at the University of California. "The Patient-Care Court" will be the subject at the remaining five schools. Kansas will up-bold the affirmative.
Phillips, a junior in the college, gained considerable fame as a high school teacher. He was awarded the national award of excellence contested 1933, and winner of the University freshman-sophomore oratory contest held last year is his second year as varsity judge.
Zupancy, a, senior in the school of engineering, was last year's winner of the local junior-senior orational contest and also winner of the Missouri Valley orational contest for last year. He is a former oratorical and extern-

King George Desperately Ill
Sleeps Peacefully, But Crisis Expected At Any Time
Sandringham, Eng. Jan. 19. - (UP) King George V lay desperately of bronchial catarh early with a crisis expected at any time.
Shortly after midnight, he was sleeping peacefully with no change recorded since last official bulletin at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday which said that his heart and blood circulation were weak and "save "cause for anxiety."
A statement at 10 p.m. saying that there was no change since the 3:30 bulletin, was taken to indicate that the crisis might not be far off. It merely said that there was no change but the previous bulletin had said, his heart was shaking. But the indication the indication was that the king might be weakening gradually.
Trudi Schoop's Ballet Appears Tuesday Night
Famed Comic Pantomimist Comes Direct From New York
Trudi Schoop, bailed through Europe as the "female Charlie Chapin," will bring a new form of theater to New York. She's been fresh. Fresh from astonishing triumphs throughout Europe, she will reveal her art of comic pantomime, which has caused conservative critics abroad to like her. Elizabeth Bergner, and even Pawlova.
The novelty of the spectacle lies in fusing the spirit of comedy with pantomime, and depicting the small tragi-crocheties of the everyday, average man through a pedestrian aspirations. A company of twenty-one, actor-dancers are employed, and special music has been designed for the productions which S Hurok, famous importer of entertainment sovellites, is bringing to this country.
Two major dance comedies, divided into numerous scenes or episodes, comprise the first program in the large repertoire of the Trudi Schoop公司. One is entitled "Want Ads." require only two pieces; adfed ads that are buried in the back of newspapers. The second comedy is called "Fridolin on the Road," and describes the wanderings of a boy—an innocent boy, anywhere—who set forth alone to seek his fortune in the world. In the circles of the underworld and the bourgeoisie, in love, jealousy, murder, and infatuation, Fridolin is developed as a sweeping human comedy of deep truth, laughingly expressed in dance form.
Trudi Schoop and her comic ballet, say all who have seen it, is a telling antidote for the world's present distress. That she is endearing herself to America is one of the most picturesque predictions made some time ago by many European observers. They believe that the country which produced Chapin, W. C. Fields, and Mickey Mouse possesses a deeply-rooted comic spirit undoubtedly be wicked by her act.
That this extraordinary cultural ballet has attracted a great deal of interest in this territory is revealed by the large advance ticket sales. A large representation from Kansas City and surrounding towns is expected.
In New York the Comic Ballot was forced to stay an additional week in order to take care of the capacity crowds wishing to attend this interesting attraction. While in New York a few weeks ago, Dean Swarthout found that he had never had full-billed entertainment there concerned Truudi Schop and her Comic Ballot.
Mr. Werner in his inquiry asked whether the college officials of 15 near-by universities had noticed any unusual behavior at a distance toward the affairs of life.
Henry Werner, Men's Student Advisor received 13 affirmative answers to the inquiry issued to 15 nearby universities on the question of the awakening of students to the political, economic, and social problems of the day.
Answers to Questionnaire
Students Show More Interest In Affairs
of Life
"Discussion of the affairs of life are more easily stirred up now than in former days," say Mr. Werner. He also added that he has been keenly interested in observing the students on campus and is a regular member of the Student Forums. He has not noticed a decided increase in the interest displayed by the students.
Hoffman Begins Campaign to Solve Lindbergh Mystery
New Jersey Governor Face Possible Impachment for Reprieving Hauptmann
Trenton, Jan. 18—(UP) Gov. Harold Hoffman is starting his huge scale campaign to solve the Lindbergh case, it was learned tonight, without a single definite new clue.
A source high in the council of the governor told the United Press that, as yet, the purported new evidence in the kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., had produced not one positive lead.
Hoffman assailed his political foes and facing possible impeachment for repriving Bruno Richard Hauptmann, in staking everything on the firm belief that he would have to kill others and contradicted by still others—that the conviction of the German carpenter did not clear up the mystery of the century's most sensational crime. In order to make good his case, Hoffman must down a theory which is firmly supported by federal agents and other officials who participated in the case.
These officials believe that had more than one man been in on the crime, the detectives would have had more clues on which to work. They would have found at least some evidence indicating the direction in which to search for the kidnappers and they would have under normal circumstances, received time some definite hint as no accomplice that would wash his an intention.
They contend that they have not. The officials most closely connected with the investigation claim that all the material evidence point at Hauptmann, but the very order in which the case was solved, left only a mere 10 percent more than one man was directly guilty.
A few experts on the case will entertain the possibility that Hauptmann was framed, but only with the statement that they believe that possibility too re-entertains serious consideration. They have found no evidence to support this theory.

BUEHLER ANNOUNCES DATES FOR ORATORICAL CONTEST
The fifth annual freshman-sophomore and junior-senior oratorical contests will be held February 25 and March 10 respectively, it was announced last night by Prof. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and dramatic art.
Unique Museum
Presents Odd Assortment
Of Theater Curios
The contests are open to both men and women students and $50 in cash prizes will be awarded, $15 to the winner of each respective contest and $10 to the second place winner. Time limits on the orations will be ten minutes.
A new museum of a unique brand recently was established on the campus. High up in the attic of Fraser hall as strange an assortment of curios have been gathered together as one is likely to see anywhere.
These objects, pictures, gods, swords, shields, and a wide variety of scenic oods and ends represent the remains of ancient sites which have been given at the University of Kansas.
That the theater is indeed the meeting place of the arts one cannot deny after visiting this queer alcee. Day after day these strange objects stand silently in the darkness of the vast attic.
England Mourns Kipling
Widow Says Famous Poet's Body Will Will Be Cremated
London, Jan 18.—(UP)—The body of Rudkiping Jil, in the darkened temple at Midlakex Hospital tonight, was poured into London from all over the empire he loved so well and whose story chanted so effectively for more than a century.

Average Grades Determine Those to Continue On Payroll
New applications, and renewed applications continue to pour into the CSEP office, despite the fact that there are already relatively few openings the second sequester.
All successful applicants will be notified just as soon as all of the grades of the present CSEP students have been offered. Applications must be during the first week of February.
In order to stay on the payroll all students are required to have maintained a scholastic average of at least grade points during the first semesters.
New applicants must have a scholastic average of at least 1.5 grade points Those applicants who are on the Hill for their first semester must have maintained at least a 1.5 grade point average.
Students now on the payroll will be allowed to work out the full pay per session. Students will enroll by Feb. 5 for work next semester. All students who plan to withdraw from school at the close of this semester are asked to notify Miss Olsen immediately.

Jayhawk Center
Ray Noble Burns Hand While Stoking Furnace; Not Severe
Ray Noble, outstanding Jayhawne center, received burns on his left hand yesterday afternoon, when a furnace he was stoking, backfired. Noble immediately went to Dr. Allen and had the hand dressed. It was hoped he might be able to play against Nebraska Monday night.
The accident happened a short time before he was to report for practice, and he did not suit up. Dr. Allen had a premonition that something might happen to some of the members of the team. He should practice to stay off of bob-sleds and refrain from anything else that might endanger them.
Cramming Sends Book Circulation To All-Time High
Increased Sedative Sales Is Reported by Cafes That Cater to Students
A new, all-time record for library book circulation was revealed yesterday afternoon by Charles M. Baker, director of libraries, in a survey of the activities of students preparing for final week.
The findings further showed a marked increase in the use of sedatives such as coffee and cigarettes, with Hill raising a rushing business in these two items.
Figures furnished by Mr. Baker revealed that the new record for circulation of books surpasses the previous mark set the corresponding week last year, by more than 650 volumes. It also represents a 35 per cent increase over the average weekly circulation of 6,250 books.
The record which was formerly 9,160 for one week has been raised to the unprecedented number of 9,701 volumes. Whether this number of books were freshly mined, but when the semester is over, results will be more accurately determined. There is a decided possibility that there will be a decrease in the books at last found where the books are kept.
Popular student meeting places indicate a surprising increase in their sales of coffee and cigarettes this last week, clearly indicating that these books cannot be struggled through without the use of a much larger set of tools — "pick you ups," "never let you down," and "good to the last drop."
Managers of the more frequent cafees and drug stores report that increase of sales of coffee and cigarettes is happening across the states that coffee sales have mounted to 23 per cent above average during the past week. The Rock Chalk indicates that many of those stores
The Jayhawk Cafe reports a 10 per cent increase in both coffee and cigarettes. The Blue Mill also shows a 20 per cent increase in cigarette sales. Coffee sales at the Hillside Drug have also jumped.
This is happening in spite of the advice of Prof. R. H. Wheeler, of the psychology department, regarding the necessity of sleep and relaxation and to give them a direct, office of that student facility, concerning the harmfulness of cigarettes.
