"There is something about immorality and dirt in the high places that is intrinsic to our lives," she estate."Tiffany Thayer. You see both ends are served by this column.The person written about sees his name in print and the rest of the readers get the same impression.
Bob Cunningham may become an Emperor State Teacher next semester. His plans were released to the general public by wire leased recently-He's leaving many friends and one sore jaw behind.
The Chi Omega's should charge "for" their legal services—Bob Williams, A.T.O., is expected back from his hospital, and he hasn't been in bed since New Year's eve.
Collegiate: The girl who having gone with her boy friend for a long time is, in fact, a big fan of the girls she date the coke money--Incidentally why doesn't a former member of a prominent fraternity shake loose from the group who Chii Chi pays the freight too often.
There's always a bit of the comic about the Union building. On the third floor every Wednesday—200 plowmen plot their weary way—to the tunes of "The Raven." They are also the hate they hate the darn things—13's the thing to do however and so everyone goes.
Red Blackburn does everything everyone else would like to do and not get talked about.-Last night he walked around the school, where a contribution to youth and beauty and not so long ago he was seen buying a bag at the local book store.-And while we're on the subject, just how does he keep that refreshed look after a hard day?
Isabelle Perry went to the hotel Kanaan Citan over the holidays to see if she couldn't get a glimpse of Allen in the lobby, the basketters staying there at the time.—Since it was no go, she wrote him a note to have delivered—I took two writings and much crumpled paper to complete the task—A. K. U. student; A. K. U. student; Since Perry knew him over to pass the day's pleasantness only to discover the boy had just had his teeth pulled and was sitting nursing a new pair of uppers—he stammered out the horrible truth, and so missed an opportunity to talk to a beautiful queen—Life's darkest moment.
Phipps made one of his rare mistakes the other night but it turned out all right just the same—He called some guy up he didn't know—the guy knew him, however, and invited himself up to Brick for a film test. He was at the time but has tasted the task—No fight—the other fellow never appeared.

"Puffy" Howell, a former A.T.O, now engaged to a home town girl at Hosington, stood up a Lawrence Chi Omega the night of the Chi O party because he learned that the girl had asked a boy from Topeka before she had asked him. The girl finally took one of the boys that pushes the little valves down—One non-fraternity man nearly got killed last year for doing that, Puffy.
Several prominent campus figures will take part in the hunger march at the annual Food Bank of Houston and John Malone plan to open a dog food stand along the line of march.
A prominent journalism student comes in for his share of the trouble in this column--He's going with two, count 'em, girls at one and the same time-I'll grant that no reader of the rag knows either one-Watch your

Joint Committee Plans to Authorize President's Party
Roosevelt's Birthday to Be
Celebrated in More
Than 5,000 Cities
and Towns.
The President's birthday party, to be celebrated Jan. 20, in more than 5000 cities and towns all over the country, will be an authorized party for University of Kansas campus, it was decided yesterday by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs. This party will be the third annual celebration by patriotic and philanthropic groups all over the country of the President's birthday, although the University participated for the first time last year. Its party, held at the Memorial Union building, attracted a huge crowd, and is requested to have netted more than $3000.
The money received at the party is split between the local committee and the National Warm Springs Foundations, 70% going to the local committee, 25% to purchase buytrees and other sites for persons afflicted with paralysis. President Roosevelt established the Warm Springs foundation in Georgia a number of years ago, following his almost entire retirement. The President's parties were designed to aid this foundation in its work, but so much attention has been attracted to it that its needs are fully satisfied now. The majority of those receiving goes to build up local units.
Last year parties were held both at the Memorial Union and the Eldridge hotel, and tickets were good for admission to either. This year however, the memorial was closed to ambition, and some doubt was expressed by the committee if there would be enough students remaining to warrant holding two separate parties. Roger Williams, chairman of the local community board, said that students would prefer holding their own party on the Hill, and that he believed enough would be present to justify it. However, the committee action simply made it permissible for students to attend the party, regardless of whether it was held at the hotel or at both places.
The committee refused a petition by George Guernsey, Phi Giang Delta, which would permit each organized house to hold one party a year with a one o'clock closing hour. Guernsey pre- presented his petition, which was for a
sented his petition, which was for a sake of clarity. He clarified the matter, as he said that was formerly the custom to permit such parties, and he wished to know why that had happened.
At present only four class parties are allowed a one o'clock closing hour. Miss Elizabeth Meguari, adjudicator of the 120 closing hour represented a company at several years ago, when women going to parties were allowed to stay out later than women going elsewhere. One member of the committee members of the Hill orchestra, who would thus obtain an extra hour's playing time. Others objected because it would only bring up the same problem of dislocation between students going to a party and students attending other functions.

Evelyn Swarthout, who is now in New York, writes to her father, D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts of the Trucki Sworthock Come Dan Larson program at university Auditorium Tuesday evening. Miss Swarthout writes: "Saw Trial Sworthock yesterday. And now I wish I had some new superlatives. She'ssimilar to me. So I'm ready to start with. Such mimicking I've never seen. If you can only give her such a build-up that people will realize they must not miss her! It was pure magic. The students will adore it. The really have something coming."
The ballet has been held over a full week longer than first scheduled owing to the enthusiasm of New York audiences to see this interesting pantomime ballet. Twenty-two dancers make up the cast and the program promises to be one of the most novel friends that has ever come to Lawrence.
The comic dancers will appear as the third regular attraction on the University Concert Course.

Paul B. Lawson, the president of Liberal Arts will act as teastmaster.
For 15 years, Dr. Lindley has served the University of Kansas faithfully. During these years, many improvements have been made. Although not a major accomplishment for the glory of Kansas and her educational institutions than has he.
Soon after he became Chancellor of the University, he was faced with the challenge of making sure he would fit for the school. He lent his efforts to persuading the legislature that Kansa's schools were her greatest source of income. Through his unifying work, the appropriation was

He returned to Indiana University to teach and was employed in the dean's office at the university for twenty years. He next accepted the position of President of the University of Idaho, where he served with remarkable efficiency. Fifteen years ago, he came to the University of Kansas. Since that time he has proved invaluable as far as the welfare of the University is concerned. Dr. Lindley has done much better than any university than any other person through a speaking tours throughout the nation.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley who spoke before the annual dinner session of the school board and teachers of the Independence, Kan., schools, the Independence Lions club, and other honored guests, Tuesday evening at Independence was presented with a pair of Jayhawker book-ends by James Clement, superintendent of the Independence school, where they were inscribed with "Independence Schools 1936." The Chancellor has placed them in his office.
The University may well be proud of a leader such as Dr. Lindley.
Among the guests attending the dinner session were ex-Governor Ben Paulen of Independence, and Clarence P. Oakes, 22, also of Independence, who was a graduate student where he studied conditions for a series of articles which were syndicated.

Japan Holds Out For Naval Parity With U.S., Britain
London, Jan. 15, (UP) — The five-year naval power conference was arrested on top of Japan's admiralty court and the United States, and naval officials in the other delegations immediately predicted a naval construction race among the countries.
"Japan will start immediately high sea construction of submarine destroyers and small auxiliary war-craft, probably forcing a race with the United States and Britain in those categories," one expert said.
The chairman of the naval conference will reply to Japan's note of withdrawal tomorrow, regretting departure of the Japanese delegation and expressing the hope that Tokio will leave observers, it was understood. Not the slightest encouragement was given Japan at today's session.
The conference will resume tomorrow as a four-power parley to which Germany and Russia may be invited later, but the merger of Japan made any real accomplishment towards naval reduction or limitation impossible.

Premier Will Go to League
The Japanese building program, forecast by other naval experts, is necessary to insure that Japan also would expand her airport and would build a number of light cruisers crammed with maximum armament.
Meanwhile, belief increased among diplomats that Anthony Edon, British foreign secretary and acknowledged leader in the League's Inso-Ethiopian sanction program, would not push for oil sanction at this session.
Paris, Jan. 15—(UP)—The French cabinet today introduced Premier Pierre Laval to give full reports to the League of Nations in the Italo-Ethiopian crisis to co-operate loyalty with Great Britain and to continue efforts at conciliation at the League's session opening Jan. 20 at Geneva.
Cabinet Intrusts Laval With French Efforts For Peace
The French also insist that Laval and Eden will go to Geneva without any definite plans and without attention taking any initiative in this respect.
The five-power conference, foredoomed to failure, ended as such today after Japan's parity demand again was struck in a strongly written statement

Rose Bowl Contest
Winner Returns Impressed
By California Weather
Tales of California's favorable weather conditions have at least one stammer supporter in the person of Agnes Skroem and the women of the women's Rose Bowl contest ticket.
In an interview yesterday with a Kanan reporter, Miss Skolout insisted that she was most impressed during her trip by the marvelous California weeder.
At the time of her arrival, Dec. 31, in San Diego, the first stop on her entourage, the Pacific Fleet was in dock there, and New Year's Eve was spent with a sailor acquaintance who is a member of the fleet, and Lloyd Burd-Allen, the other ticket winner, in a tour of the night clubs of Los Angeles.
The two contest winners lost Los Angeles early the following day, and arrived in Pasadena to time in witness the famous Tournament of Roses parade. Asked what impressed her most at the annual Rose Bowl football game, which she attended that afternoon, Miss Replied, "the enormous road."
The following day, Jan. 2, was spent in a visit to the M.G.M. motion picture studios at Culver City, Calif.
Favorable weather conditions did not accompany Miss Skolout on her home-ward trip. At Raton Pass, in the Rockies, the bus in which she was riding was strained and had to be dragged out by a tractor.
Robert Kenyon, 637, business manager of the Jawkery magazine which sponsored the contest, said that he was satisfied with the response made toward it by the students, and that he expected it to be continued in the future

Ray Noble and Ray Ebling were the big guns in the Kansas attack, each contributing ten points. The Missouri team outscored the Jayhawkers from the floor, but too many fouls was the cause of their downfall. The Tigers committed 15 fouls and Kansas made good 11 free tosses to one for Missouri.
This is the second time in six years that the Jayhawkers have

Carmin Henderson was the leading scorer for the Tigers, eight points from four fields goals, but he was forced out in the game on personal fouls.
The Kansas men held a halftime advantage of 15-9 and managed to keep enough lead throughout the game to stave off several Missouri allies.
The Jayhawkers played a clean game, having only five fouls called on them, and those fouls were committed by two men.

Dr. Allen's gloomy predictions as to the chances of his "little giants" are proving more and more unfounded as the team continues to win. The Jay-hawkers seem to have whatever it takes to win, whether it be long shots, free throws, or puzzling offensive plays. Every member of the team has been able to add points to the Kansas total. They can also play to play a tight defensive game without fouling has enabled the first five to go "bough the entire game."
