LAWRENCE. KANSAS. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1936
My desire to write this column is purely a mercenary one. It is merely a means to an end and in no way is meant to flourish my talents as a journalist.
When I was given permission to do the column the first thing that entered my mind was a pledge. Resolved: The names of Field, Guernsey, or McFarland shall not be mentoned on this day. So 'elm! me'
Dick Skiar returned from his trip to the west coast with a sore shoulder. He didn't mention the fact that his jaws were a bit sore, too. It seems that he had been playing the game of "lift, bend, and open." You know—lift your arm, bend your elbow, and your mouth falls open.
The Sloe-Lemon romance seems to have gone a little stale. Betty has been phalanndering a bit with a few of the boys, and Milo retaliated after a fashion of his own, so everything is not as it might be. By the way, Betty, you'd better aim your arrow at that kite sailing in the Sloe skies or else—
Marie Forbes has been resenting the mention of her name in print. Seems seh has taken unto herself the duties of guardian of the Thea freshmen when they all move into the Amnes next semester, and she doesn't want her good name molested by the press. He's not going to closely so, sail "em high Marie. However, we'll do all we can in keeping down the censorship.
At a recent holiday dance, Ann Horton was being entertained in an outer chamber by Bill Smiley, and who should appear to break up the fun but Duane Tubbs. Of course, the biggie was also present. Duane remained unmoved. The touching part is that Ann can't understand why Duane won't trust her anymore.

Everyone who walked out on Senor Lopez's journalism class last week were in fear of the Senor's wrath and prepared themselves for the well-known "shot gun" today. The Senor was very kind and expressed his sorrow at not being able to speak, and he expressed his regret by passing up the "awful thing," saying that the psycho logical moment was not at hand. Any way, Gracias, Senor.
A certain blond Pi Phi is reported to be plenty peeved with the boy friend. Seems as how the B.F.报ed about a man who had sold all out for "Tobacco Road," and suggested that a movie would have to substitute. The trouble started when the Pi Phi discovered that plenty of tickets were available several hours later.
One of the Beta boys (2) forgot him the other day in class and began his home work. The work consisted of cutting out the cutest paper dells once known is sad. So as it seems such talent is confined to the house on Tennessee.
Speaking of the Thea Annex, there've been some complaint recently of the total lack of privacy around the house. One of the better known Thela lovers went outside during an intermission or something and much to his embarrassment found that one of the girls and her data were very near. In his hurry she quickly fled from being blinded from a passing car. But lack all around, isn't it?

Here is the favorite story told at the Pi Shi镀 at the moment. An Englishman, sleeping in a small town hotel, was awakened by a strange noise outside his window. He ran downstairs to find a man sitting on the floor, told him it was just an owl. The Englishman replied, "Yes, but 'oo the 'ell' is 'owling.'"
Publisher Tells Both Sides of Modern Journalism in Third Student
Session
In a speech embellished with salty quips and gentle nuances of meaning, Marco Morrow, assistant publisher of the Capper Publications, entertained a crowd at the third student forum lecture last night and at the same time warned them of impending friction in the economic machine.
Mr. Morrow spoke on the subject "Journalism Today and Tomorrow," in which he defined the nomic and cultural progress is bound up with journalism, and how inescapably journalism is the mold in which it is formed so many great popular movements.
"In a scheming, selfish, pugnacious world the press has not remained spotted," he said. "The press is the herald of a crissly materialistic world; the world of push, and get ahead, and damn the torpedoes, and damn the public." But Mr. Morrow refused to be interviewed as it was a measure of increasing public information about current history.
Gives Various Aspects
"According to William Allen, White the press is demanding eight percent investment, the radicals say it is a prostitute whose body is for sale to the highest bidder, while the journalist is the cornerstone of our liberties." Mr. Murray positions as a publisher who has not blinded me to the defects of my profession, but neither has it forced me to see nothing new in deriving from modern journalism."
Mr. Morrow traced in a leisurely way the path through which we have arrived at our present predicament, behestened by our generosity, century and following the recurrent waves of popular thought through the war years an dthe resultant period of prosperity to the day in 1928 when the American president had burst. Mr. Morrow recalled the Spanish war, brought on by Hearest, the Mugwumps, railroad legislation, corruption in city government, the World Wars, the various presidential eras since then.
"The World War was followed by an economic war which was infinitely more devastating, and in 1923 the thimble-ing financiers blew 101 billion dollars. An agent was easy and rapid." Then he recounted the developments since the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, saying that the revolution of 1833 was the legacy the older generation gave to it, and now showing a pious hope for lack with it.
Cause of Modern Journalism
"Out of the events leading up to the present situation came modern journalism," said the author, who joined in an unbuly weedlock, and journalism has been too often quite concave in the face of her spouse's evil ways. The newspaper must necessarily serve a public servant, and must express the ideals and ideas of the people it serves. If a newspaper is to live in a materialistic age we must have a materialistic press, and an educational system and religion."
Mr. Morrow then proceeded to dis-

Hauptmann Hopes Fade As Judge Denies Writ
Application of Attorneys for Habeas Corpus Is Refused
Trenton, N.J., Jan. 14—(UP)—A gray-haired judge leaigned his elbows on the desk tonight and ruled that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was been thoroughly tried and convicted of the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., and that he must die in the electric chair Friday night.
His ruling—denial of an application for a writ of bethenus corpus—meant that Hauptmann's lawyers had exhausted the moves of the movies that they could make.
Judge J. Warren Davis, of the federal circuit court of appeals, listened to arguments by Hauptmann's newest attorneys, Neil Birkinshaw and Nugent Dodds, on their application for a writ of habas corpus, then turned his head slightly to the left and listened to the little firebird who prosecuted Hauptmann, being leading by today to see that the state's interests were protected.
When all the lawyers had finished the judge leaned forward, and in a hushed courtroom filled with strangers from the street, denied a routine applause. When the judge then denied a routine petition of defense counsel for a stay of execution.
To Speak on Sound Control
Hodge, Acoustical Expert of New York Will Talk to Engineers
The harmful effects on human beings of unnecessary sound and how to control it will be the subject of a lecture by Mr. Pritchard, Manville acoustical expert of New York. Thursday, January 16 at 7:30 p.m. in room 206, Marvin Hall, under the auspices of the University of Kansas School of Engineering and Architecture.
Noise is defined by Mr. Hodge as any undisired sound. When sound gets out of control and becomes noise, as in the streets and large offices of any city, it has a definitely bad effect on the physical and mental conditions of all persons subjected to it. Orchestra music, according to Mr. Hodge, can be sweet disturbing and unwanted at 2 am when one is attempting to sleep.
How these conditions occur and what can be done about them will be explained by the speaker who claims that improved working conditions and increased efficiency will result from the "treatments" to bring about sound control.
Mr. Hodge is recognized as one of the foremost men in his field, and is a member of the Acoustical Society of America. His lecture will be accompanied by a talking picture, showing the physical phenomena in connection with the scientific study of sound and architectural acoustics. His material includes a range of interest and value all students of engineering and architecture.
Miss Lynn Quoted in Book
In his new books, "The Trade of Writing," which was recently published, Edward Weeks, editor of the Book-shelf, the book reviewing column in the New York Times, and Lymn, professor of the English department. The quotation, which is from an article by Miss Lymn published in the Atlantic Monthly eight or nine years ago, says: "The love of precision of words is the answer to the love of truth."
Schwegler talks to Supervisors R. A. Schwegler, dean of the School of Education, was in Topaek last night where he attended a meeting of school counselors at that city. He was the principal speaker at a dinner before the meeting.

The Memorial Union Operating Committee voted yesterday to accept the proposal of the Musicians' Union to organize a nine-piece band composed of members of the three best-known bands, to play three out of every four mid-week varieties. The fourth varsity will be played by nine men from Preston Anderson's band, recently admitted to the Union.
A special meeting was called by the Union Operating Committee in response to a request by the Men's Student Council that definite action be taken by the committee regarding the mid-week varitions. JoeGriewold and Louie Kuhn were asked to appear before

he committee as representatives of the Musicians' Union. Griswold presented the plan of organizing this representative band, to settle a dispute raised last fall when it was decided that the Memorial Union should be required to pay three dollars per man plus a three dollar leader fee for a one-hour dance. They also stipulated that the minimum number of men should be 12. This made the total cost for one midweek party $99 instead of the $32 that Memorial Union had previously paid.
The Union Operating Committee refused to comply with these demands and instituted the "record" mid-weeks. However later under the pressure of student opinion it offered a counter proposal of $30 for a twelve-piece band. This offer was promptly rejected by the Musicians' Union.
Under the accepted plan the music will cost $20 for a nine-piece band. Although the committee was hesitant in accepting the proposal at this price, they approved in response to the feel-good messages that should have bands at these variates.
This plan for a nine-piece band, composed of three members from each of "Red" Blackburn's, Wayne Wright's and Louie Kuhn's organizations, was previously rejected by the Operating Committee on the grounds that it failed to include members of Preston Anderson's band which had been recently admitted to the Musical Union. The Association promised to promise on this point and representatives of both sides of the controversy expect it definitively to settle the issue.
This proposed orchestra will be ready to play as soon as a written agreement is formulated by the Musicians' Union and the Union Operating Committee. The orchestra must be of superior ability, necessarily, since so small an aggregation requires that each man be able to play his instrument exceptionally well. The musicians would be more likely the monthly would be of the most help. It was expressed that since the Memorial Union has made a practice of charging stage ten cents, and times have noticeably improved, the Memorial Union will be able to pay more for their bands.
The committee expressed their belief that the students who pay $2 a year to the Memorial Union fund from the activity ticket should receive actual benefits in the form of dances. Besides the dances the only other benefits received from this Union fund is the use of the regular facilities of the Memorial Union.
