A Letter to Rex . . . Boys of the "Ol' Club at It Again . . . Pipkin Puts On Another Act . . . What—Romance in the Law Barn? . . . These Youngster Republicans
Edited by F. J. E.)
Probably many of you are wondering why Rex "The Jug-Head" Woods has been letting some of the other boys in on the inside by printing a letter to him. No doubt there are more of you who don't even care, but I thought it would be a good idea to sort of let you in on the inside "by printing a letter to him". This is from his old home-town paper. This letter probably accounts for that worried look Rex has been carrying around recently, and in a moment of time he was writing from his trembling fingers. It follows.
Dear Mr. Woods
We, the vast majority, wish to state here and now—and before we go any farther, that you must stop writing that column of years of the said "On the Shin."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1836
To obey orders has not been your want in the past, we know, but you are a grown man (?) now and should do something that is disloach of irresponsibility and assume the attitude that there are some things which you must do, no matter how distasteful they might seem. What is that is beifting a person of your lik-
For you to fail in granting us this small request would cause everyone: (1) great social and physical anguish; (2) great mental standing; and (4) cause us to rant and rave and curse you (you little rascal) with voluminous epithets and admonitions in a thunderous voice for all the world to hear, deyering your soul. (3) to be sent to such an extent that all editors will shun you (some more) and you'll be a wall-flower and find yourself standing alone in the middle of the dance floor.
THE KINSLEY TIMES.
Seems that Ned "Five Hours a Year" Brandon and John "Hot Dawg Hermite" Sherlocker, two veterans, have been discarding all their dignity (you toads get the benefit of all possible doubts) lately—digitally that generally comes to most people who have been on the Hill since \*09—and have been pushing some of the younger gals about in quite a rough way. John "Beverly Boy" a Beaver boy—always a Beaver boy, is the ola saying, and if it isn't—it should be.
--it is rumored (and we didn't start it either) that Ruth Bordner, the female of the freshman law class, and Charles Lyon, another lawyer-to-be (you're not sure who), are biting off in great shape.

What's become of the Young Republicans Club? This is not an advertisement, but that's what some of the Young Republicans wish to know. They want to hear about bizarre on just why the club is, where it is supposed to meet, and when it is supposed to meet, plus a few other minor things. For example - Fred Hardman, who wrote about giving a speech at the organization's meeting a few nights ago, but he stated that he couldn't find the place of meeting. Phil Bramwell had much the same experience, too. Maybe it isn't the club after all. You know how these boys

Editor's note: If Harry wasn't able to give his speech, or if he just wouldn't there to give it—the meeting must have come (or at least partly) huge success).
Advanced
Appreciative Audience Hears Students in Piano, Voice, and Violin
The second and last of the advanced student recitals for the present semester was given Wednesday in the Administration Auditorium before an appreciative audience. Students in piano, oceil, and voice acquired themselves

Compromise Bonus Bill May Be Passed Today
Senate Favors Bond Plan Substitute Measure Introduced
Washington, Jan. 16—(UP)—The compromise $2237,000 billion bills come up in the Senate tomorrow with every indication that it will be whipped through by a majority after bitter debate.
Chairman Pat Harrison, Democrat of Mississippi, of the Senate Finance Committee presented his favor on the measure today and obtained unanimous consent to have the act brought up tomorrow.
Senator William H. King, Democrat of Utah, introduced a substitute bill providing for payment of adjusted service certificates at their surrendered location. He estimated that his bill would save $18 billion in dollars.
While there may be some support for King's major, observers believed it was certain to be defeated in favor of Harrison's bill which would pay the war price. The bill, which may be cached at any post office or held until 1945, drawing interest.
House bonus leaders have agreed the bond plan instead of immediate cash payment as proposed in the "united bank" plan, passed the house last week. 256 to 59.
President Roosevelt's position remained uncertain, but his associates predicted that he might veil the measure. Bonus leaders who have polled both House and Senate predict that Mr. Roosevelt will ride a veto. This fact may confront Mr. Roosevelt's attitude, it was understood, and he may sign the bill reluctantly.

Hauptmann Given Thirty-Day Stay In Fight for Life
governor Hoffman Criti
cized for Favoring
Slayer of Baby
Lindbergh
Trenton, New Jersey, Jan. 16—(U.P.)
Twenty-eight hours before he was due to be executed, Bruno Richard
Klein was arrested and relieved from Governor Harold Hoffman.
The action had the effect of giving Haptmann at least 88 more days of life. After the reprieve expires, he will be sent to New York City and Trencherd, who already has told him twice that he must be electricotron. The law specifies that Trencherd must set the execution date not less than four weeks from the date of resentencing.
Bad news was mixed with good news for Hauptmann today. Earlier in the afternoon the news hummed up the wires from Washington that the United States Supremo Court had denied a court action for a writ of habeas corpus. Leary said this action exhausted Hauptmann's resources in the federal court.
Hoffman decided to rerepine the convicted murderer or the Lindbergh baby today in the face of an opinion by At-
What prompted Hoffman to grant the reivee is a secret locked away in his own mind. Apparently it was not new evidence or witnesses.
"In legal language," Hoffman said, "I granted the reprieve for diverse reasons. There not only is doubt in my mind of Hauptmann's guilt, but there is doubt in the minds of thousands of citizens."
ogh bhay today in the face of an opinion by Attorney-General David T. Willett that the state should not have that省 no repretoire can be granted past 99 days after conviction, which in Hauptmann's case was almost a year
Hauptmann's face "lighted w itt pleasure" when informed that his life would end on Friday, days at. At Hoffman's office, it was said that the Governor would not file the reprintue until tomorrow because it *looks* too soon. Will lentz to draw up the document.
A move to impeach Governor Hoffman probably will be started in the New Jersey General Assembly Monday after Republican Senator Patrick Hillary and Political opponents of the Republican governor are expected to seize on his action in repriving Bruno Richard Hauntmann, which immediately stirred criticism as a basis for impeachment.
Although no member of the assembly would comment for publication, a source close to legislative leaders said it was unlikely that an assembly probably be introduced when the assembly reconvenes Monday night and if not then, it is certain to come before the 30-day reprise which Governor Grant Hauptmann today, expires.
PROFESSORS WILL ADDRESS EASTERN ALUMNI MEETINGS

Tonsorial Artist
Still Wields a Mean Razor
After Sixty-six Years
Woodstock, III., Jan. 16. (UP)—Henry Schneider has been cutting hair for 64 years. He has worn out three pairs of glasses and he never has he mined a customer's ear.
"I reckon I've cut enough hair to carpet a park," the 80-year-old barred said. "But never an ear, mind you."
*semester*, *with*, *hawk*, *management*, *causes*, *he*
*been*. He kept his trade when he was 14 and so small
he had to have a circular platform to
reach the nape of his customers needs.
"I use some of them," he explained
"but most of the owners are in the
cemetery."
Times aren't as prosperous now as they used to be, Schneider said, and he doesn't think the rings about his chair, worn into the wooden floor by patient plodding around his customers' leads, will go any deeper.
An old-time barber, Schneider keeps in his shop the gold decorated shaving mugs of his patrons long ago._names familiar to this town of 5000 are perceptuated in the tiers of tonsorial relics that ornament the walls.
Ballet Praised by Krueger
In a letter received yesterday by Dean Swarthout, Mr. Krueger writes enthusiastically about Trudi Schopf and how he saw him in Vienna last summer. He says.
Director Saw Schoop Presentation in Vienna Last Summer
"I cannot tell you how delighted I am to learn that Trudi Schiou and her ballet are coming to Lawrence. I saw this group in Vienna last summer and was quite carried away by what they did. It was the highest night of the year, and I went to the theater feeling not only fatigued but bored with everything, but
"It is the most urbane, the subtle, and most imaginative work of its kind I have ever seen. When I read, before I became a viewer he had spoken of Miss Schoop's work as a combination of Duse, Chaplin, and Pavlova, I felt that surely he must have been carried away by an extravaganza, but now it was his sense of the marvelous treatment of homely, every-day happenings, I came to the conclusion that she was not only the finest mimic that I had ever seen, but also one of the ablest satisfactions on earth."
Student Fund Established
Money Available for Deserving Students in Department of Journalism
A journalism scholarship loan fund of $75 has been established in the department of journalism by the Kansas Council of Teachers of Journalism.
This money, which will be administered by Helen Rearden, Leavenworth, Ray Heady, Pittsburgh, and Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism, will be available for use next semester serving students in the department.
This is the first year that such a four fund has been provided, and the council plans to increase the amount annually.
Professor Flint expressed his gratitude for the loan fund when he said yesterday, "For the past 10 years the Teachers of Journalism Council has been meeting at the University, and their continued spirit of co-operation has manifested itself in this generous and thoughtful act."

Kansas Students To Spend Weekend Relaxing, Studying
Review to Give Confidence Dancing and Shows Will Erase Strain and Worry
Many of them will make it a period of relaxation between study sessions, calculated to produce the desired result in that "tough" course; others will reorganize themselves. But no matter what the method, everyone has the same end in view.
Students of the University will spend the weekend in various ways preparing for finals which begin next Thursday.
You can read the story on the faces of the students as they pass hurriedly back and forth between classes, in their worried expression or they listen attentively in the room, or in their numbers as they crowd into the library search frantically for that report assigned last month. Final examinations are just around the corner, and contrary to Mr. Hoover's opinion, this one will soon be turned.
With the zero hour less than a week away, the entire current of student life was changed. Instead of fretting about getting a good seat to see Hollywood's latest stuntendous, colossal, snash hit, the students' cramcaches to get a chair in the library.
It's Still the Same Game
It's the old, old game and it still played according to the rules when, with the University was founded back in 1864, properly with the final examination was invented in its present form.
A rule of the University requires that examinations be held for all students during the last days of the semester, and, though in early times, there was no one holding a final examination are now held according to a complicated schedule worked out by the senate and followed religiously by students. Finals have changed little since the years when the value of the examination in determining the final grade has varied as the theory of instruction has changed. Early in the history of the University, the tendency was more to formal quizzes and sectional examinations.
the cribbing, worrying, and pre-class
mattering went on then as now, and
probably will continue as long as we
have our present form of class
instruction. However, reliable sources
said that the decrease has decreased
greatly in recent years.
But, the student of Phi Beta Kappa calibre always has made his high grades no matter what the system, and the rest always have allowed work to pile up, and then at the last minute repented the folly, and slaved to prepare for the day of reckoning. Students have various ways of preparing for final examinations. Some pretend they might before the test and then, perhaps, find themselves too tired to think clearly when the time comes.
Some Students Will Relax
Others prepare elaborate rubbric notes, only to discover that they have memo- nized the note. They note the of the notes. The scholarly man with the glasses and the brief case opens his voluminous notebook and diligently reviews the course, while the girl with the carmine lips and the vacant look flies off her sorrowly files for old quipa paper in the course she has so often "cut."
The real student, however, reads his notes about a week before his quiz, lays them away for a day or so, reviews them again the day before the test, and relaxes that night by going to a movie. The third paraphrase an old saying, "get your daily assignments and the finals will take care of themselves."
Some students will take a breathing spell from their labors this weekend before starting down the home stretch of concentrated study next week. Many of them will attend the Varsity, Satellite and Classroom classes organized house parties to be held.
Others will go home for a day or so to get relief from the tense atmosphere that prevails on the Campus. A lunch break is scheduled night, when the Jayhawk quintet will attempt to maintain its undefeated position of many of the top performers of many for a short time of relaxation.
But, no matter what method they have used, students have the consolation of knowing that in two weeks flipping a board, they can play and they can start again with a clean
and they can start again with a clean slate.
University School of Medicine Ranks Well With Those Studied
Medical Survey Completed
A survey of the work and equipment of the University's School of Medicine was completed yesterday by a team sponsored by the American Medical Association, the American Association of Medical Education, and the Council of Medical Education.
The two men, Dr. Herman G. Weissbotten of Syracuse University, and Dr. Michael B. Kershaw of Nebraska, left yesterday for Kansas City, where they will complete their survey at the University of Kan- neapolis hospital, formerly Bell Memorial hospital.
The findings of the two men will be incorporated into a comprehensive report later.
Their chief interest was in the kind of work being carried on in the schools they are studying, numbering 63 so far. In contrast to poor condition of the anatomy building, but on the whole, they said the University ranked well with those they

Journalists Hear Entertaining Talk By Jerome Beatty
Well - Known Author Advises Aspiring Writers to Keep Diary of School Days
Cleverly illustrating his entertaining talk with personal experiences as a writer, Jerome Beauty, well-known fiction and feature author of New York City, told classes in journalism yesterday morning "how it's done". Mr. Beauty, who was graduated from the University in 1908, and who is visiting in Lawrence several days with his mother, Mrs. S. L. Palmer, is a regular contributor to the American and Collier's magazines, and writes frequently about law. Following his graduation he worked on the Kansas City Star, and several other metropolitan papers before going to the west coast where he was publicity director for motion picture companies. Since 1929 he has been a free
Writers Urged To Keep a Diary
**Writers Urged to Keep a Diary**
"Keep a diary," he urged aspiring writers. He told them, writing writers is that they try to write about things which are too far afield. When you are in school, jet down in your diary your thoughts, your reactions to the things phrases, in short, write about the things of which you are the most familiar."
He stressed the fact that the success of one's article or story depends on his point of view. "The biggest benefit which I received from this University was the freedom of expression which we were given in our writing," he said, "and the fact that our point of view was unhappened by interference."
He said that the most successful stories have the "buy me girls" formula, a consequent "black moment," ultimately success for the hero or heroine.
Don't Wait For An Inspiration
"Don't sit down and wait for an inspiration," he urged. "Write as you think, and subconciously your charaters will unfold, and contribute to the story."
Another fact which the speaker stressed was that before he writes an article or interviews a person he goes to the New York Public Library where he learns all of the available information, including his name or person about which he is to write.
In closing his talk Mr. Beatty said that the beginner has as much chance of getting his fiction story printed as do the well-known authors. He said that in the American magazine offices, for instance, tape is placed over the author's name when a story is submitted to the staff, and it is read carelessly by any writer with talent and a good story, a chance to get his story published.
Mr. Beatty left Lawrence last night for a six week's business trip to Hollywood, Calif.
