A number of ceeds have been burning up with curiosity over mysterious phone calls in which a young gentleman with a charming voice feeds them an email, the phone is in silence, having met them at some social function, etc., etc. Then he refuses to give his name. Snoopie wouldn't give the boy away but he's a hint to the girls. He's just as attractive as the girls, and has the cute dimple in his chin.
A group of D.U. boys were out-sending about quarter of the two other morning equipped with a piano on a bench, and backed up by the Pi Phi house and just as the vocalist was hitting the high notes of a sentimental ditty, Singleton of the Phi Chi house, poked in his hat to the floor. "Phoebe from you to you," or some unimpartrable expression to that effect. Rumor has it that the iirte Phi Chi couldn't stand the competition for the Arrow lodge.
Edie Kennedy appeared the other day with a pair of old-fashioned cushions. It wasn't a very cold day, and she was trying to train her ears as an excuse to train her ears a bit.

When it comes to initiation, 'its reported that Nu Sigma Nu, medical fraternity, tops 'em all. Naturally the dope is hard to get and might not be understood by laymen if it were available, but we hear that the pledges were prepared at what they feared might take place during ceremonies on other night.

The girl in the slacks stated that she wished columnists would quit printing stories about her, then proudly displayed a thick book of clippings and asked what papers had printed the latest. "Very well," she the Chinaman wrote. "I was going to tape it. Makkie you some mo"; " only that it's more publicity."
One couple stepping high wide and handsome at the soph hop Friday night. They were dressed down in the swirling mob. The lad picked up his partner in a not so gentle manner, and the young boy stepped into window to cool her burns quickly.
Wonder what the attraction is at a southside eating house where lads and lashes have been disporting 'til the wee small hours lazily. Also Scoop wonders women feminine warmers must be their house masters. Must be a system or sump'n.
A school teacher in Colorado to cure children in her second grade classes who talked too much pastes strips of paper over their mouths. We were going to suggest the use of the remedy on some of our classmates (Neil Manley for example) but the case is probably too far gone.

Another amusing number is a scene wherein a chorus director is driven to distraction by a particularly inept performer who dances in an unnatural, "well-trained, high musical danceuse, accidentally still disengaged" in which Miss Schooh appears as a blowy-looking singer in a tawni caterbali.
European critics have likened her to Charlie Chapin and the great Swiss clown Grock. She has proved herself a talent, wherever she has made an appearance.
Her pantomime is always effective. She dances occasionally but she is just as communicative standing still, speak, laugh and childish grin, and her expressive hands.
The Lawrence branch of the Douglass County Safety Council is preparing for its annual financial campaign in order to address the needs of safety in the public interest.
Douglas County Safety Council Prepares To Continue Work
Plan Financial Campaigr
In addition to these three major funitions the Lawrence branch has during the past year arranged for and sponsored several safety meetings which were addressed by prominent figures in the field, shown in Lawrence theaters and many safety articles were prepared and vinted in the newspapers.
The Douglas County Safety Council was organized late in 1934 at the request of Governor Landon and the Kansas Safety Council. Throughout the past year of its existence the Council has promoted safety through various changes in the organization, but been printed and posted in prominent places cautioning the citizens toward greater safety. Another important feature of the work of the Council was the presentation of twelve memberships in the National Safety Council to the public. In addition, a number of these memberships the schools have received a regular monthly supply of materials for use in training the children in the schools. Also, a nation-wide movement has been started, with the backing of the federal government, having for its object the establishment of traffic laws throughout the country.
In 1935 the Council received and expended approximately $250 but hopes to expand its efforts in 1938. Those citizens of Lawrence who wish to participate in a worthwhile cause are called "Council Members." Of the officers of the Council, the forfeiture for 1936 are: Prof. R. S.Tait, president; J. H. Parker, vice president; Prof. F. A. Russell, secretary; and George M. Lawman, treasurer.
An appreciative and fair-sized audience was present Sunday afternoon to hear the eight-fifth Vesper Organreprise of the Simpson instructer in the School of Simpson.

Peace Group Hears Brown
Young Republican Leader Attacks Recent Boosevelt Speech
Quentin Brown, president of the campus Young Republic club, took issue with the neutrality policy of the university, calling it a talk before a roomful of Peace Action committee members and jymnists in the Memorial Union building.
Mr. Brown criticized President Roosevelt's recent "Neutrality" speech on the grounds that it was too general in nature, in fact, obviously political propaganda. Mr. Roosevelt demanded that the United States to warring nations, even for peaceful uses, would be discouraged, as well as his challenge to foreign autocracy, were labelled meaningless tidbits for popular consumption. Brown went on to say that he doubted "the existence of a party in its stand on neutrality."
In a question period following the speech, Brown revealed a hope that Governor Landon would be the next President. He said that the Republican movement had not progressed body than that which met defeat in 1982, and definitely placed Landon among the progressive elements. Questions involving Republican policy and the state administration program were also answered.
The Peace Action committee will hold a forum on the topic "Neutrality" Feb. 6, in the Memorial Union building. It will be in the nature of a panel discussion featuring several prominent local speakers yet to be selected.

Morrow to Define Newspaper Trends At Student Forum
Nationally Known Publisher Will Also Comment on New Deal and AAA
Marco Morrow, assistant publisher of Capper Publications, will address the third student forum tonight at 8:15 in the Memorial Union Ballroom. His subject will be "Journalism in the World Today."
"Mr. Morrow's position gives him an opportunity to come in contact with most of the important lines of thought in the country," said Kenneth Born, chairman of the M.S.C. forum committee. "His analysis of the contemporary situation will be that of a journalistic basis and he must be based on facts as they come from life over the country. Mr. Morrow represents no partisan view.
"Mr. Murrell appeared at the University last year as one of the speakers on the lecture series sponsored by the university. In this address he defined a liberal as 'one who sees the ills of our system and believes they can be overcome without the destruction of capitalism'. He also stated that the actionary believes in the good old days; guardian of the constitution; while the conservative is the self-appointed radical is a malcontent, a poor citizen who needs to get at the root of the trouble."
Although believing in the principles of Democracy, Mr. Morrow is generally considered to be a liberal editor. He was a member of the executive committee of the sponsors of the League for Democratic Education and the lecture course given in Topeka last year.
Starting his career as a reporter for the Springfield (Ohio) Public-Republic Times, he has been active in journalistic work for 40 years. He was editor of the *Annual Times*, and for seven years edited "Agricultural," in which, "a farmer's paper published in Chicago. Later, he was elected president of the Agricultural Publishers Association. He became affiliated with Senator Caper's publications in 1908. In his speech tonight, Mr. Morrow wrote that he saw the phases of the New Deal, and the significance of the recent AAA decision by the Supreme Court.
