The fire reporter nearly had a good story last Thursday, but things didn't go to getting. Bill Linton and friend Peggy Wilcox were having a chat in the Union building, and the tip of Bill's cigarette fell in the cushion of a chair. He had to tear most of the chair apart. He was so scorned some scorched fingers doing it. Now the catch is-Did a cigarette start the fire? I'm just burning to know. One of the Gamma Phi's put on a little flop—the frog act the other night. Peggy Gormley, fell off the terrace and landed right in the arms of her Sig Ep boy friend. Forgot the type of disease she is supposed to be. Some cute little girl who wears pants was seen rolling a cigarette the other day. She had a can of Union Leader water and she will be snapping her up most any day. --- Professor Metzler, who used to be one of the boys around here, had an embarrassing moment the other day. He was teaching a class next to one of those rooms (get it!), and some students asked him if he had a hurried entry into the classroom by mistake. Might add that both the lad and professor turned crimson. The snowballing of the last few days has proved pretty disastrous to some kiddies. In the first place, Margaret Boast was standing on the steps of the local barn and one some busted her in the bugle with a rime she had thrown. (At least the ball was awful low) and nearly took the count. As a grand finale, some guy took out a window in the Law barn and the crowd could no longer be seen. ♦ ♦ ♦ LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 1936 The Gamma Phi's have been getting so many phone calls lately that their little pledges are tired from answering the phone. Consequently, if you call over there any more, they answer "Chi Omenga," "Beta Theta Pi," or "Greek god names happen to pop into their heads. Too bad they're so popular! Contribute to Publication Ruthe Stoland has the best job, on herself. It seems that some time ago she walked into a telephone booth for the first time. She saw the little girl in her room. On it the words "change here." Ruthe called her number and dropped a quarter in the phone. Then she waited for the change to drop down, Play.

Members of University Have Written For New Magazine Five individuals associated with the University have contributed articles to the University Review, a magazine edited by Dr. Charles K. Duggan of the University of Kansas City. The publication, which is devoted to the purpose of serving this section of the country with learned articles of a semi-popular nature as well as with poetry and fiction, has just completed its first year of publication. Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes and Mr. J. E. Hankin, both of the English department, are among the contributors. Ms. Hoopes wrote "The Almost Perfect Mrs. Gray," while Mr. Hankin contributed "A Metrical Translation From Ovid's Metamorphoses" in two installments. Dedhert Ribbins wrote "Thrilling Tone." Mrs. Dorothen Bowen, acting secretary of the bureau of visual instruction, and Prof. Allen Crafton, of the department of speech and drama, contributed a num- Other contributors during the magazine's first year of publication include Henry C. Haskell, the editor of the Kansas City Star; Edgar Lee Masters, William Ellery Leonard, and Howard Mumford Jones. Unheralded Termites Threaten Campus Buildings By Persistent Boring "Men what taik too much often lose their jobs." This was the cryptic reply a reporter received yesterday after questioning a workman at Robinson Gymnasium about the termites which are eating out the very heart of several of the buildings on the campus. With this art of philosophy the workman turned once again to his labor. Periods, popularly known as white and red periodicals, often arrive unhelped and go about their life's work with a plodding persistence that is truly astounding. Last spring they did their "dardest" at the geology building, Corbin hall, Dyche museum, and Green hall. They prefer to work in basements—musty, if possible—and in large groups. The Termite Cooperative Administration has wonderful wonders, it is said, in adding small timates to get their just share of wood. There is no effective method of stopping these white ants, and needless to say, this makes the creatures extremely difficult. They try to climb on another attitude. They go about the task of tearing out walls and replacing the eaten timbers with new ones with a grim determination, muttering the different expressions of their unloppiness. Simpson in Organ Recital University Instructor To Give Eighty Fifth Organ Concert Mr. G. Criss Simpson, instructor of piano and organ at the University and organist at the First Church of Christ Scientist, Kansas City, Mw, will present the eighth-fifth vesper organ recital a clock in the University auditorium.

Famous Journalist To Speak Tuesday At Student Forum Marco Morrow, of Topea Qualified to Speak by Forty Years of Experience Marco Morrow, assistant publisher of Capper publications in Topeka, will be the speaker on the next forum to be hold Tuesday evening at 8:30. His subject will be "Journalism Today and Tomorrow." Mr. Morrow is well known as a liberal editor. After 40 years as a city editor, advertising director, and publisher, he is familiar with problems of American journalism, and is capable of presenting present and future of the profession. The speaker was born in Ohio. He was a reporter for the Springfield (Ohio) "Republic-Times" and then became editor of the magazine "Woman's Journal."

Series Mr. Morrow was a member of the executive committee of the sponsors of the League for Industrial Democracy (LID) and a co-founder year in Topeka. As a member of this committee, he was one of the speakers on the LID. lecture series given here last year. His subject then was "Where De We Go From Here". In it he declared that America today is faced with the problem of how much social support can be had without sacrificing 'birty'. Continuing, he declared that "the reactionary believes in the good old days; the conservative is the self-apoplex; the liberal is the liberals; the illusions of our system and believers they can be overcome without destruction of capitalism. The radical is a malcontent, a poor citizen, which decides to get to the root of the trouble." "Counter-Revolution Is Danger" In the open forum following the lecture, Mr. Morrow said that the quickest way to Fascism is via a socialist movement. But the second most common in America is the danger of a counter-revolution," he said. If a Thomas or a Sinclair were elected in 1936, the D.A.R. and the American Legion would fight against it. What I want American liberals to accept, although this may be Musicality.

Juniors and Seniors in College --- 97-114 ROUTINE ASSOCIATE LEVEL Musical Comedy in Doubt W.S.G.A. Will Decide Fate of Annual Production Tuesday W. S.G.A. will hold a meeting Tuesday night to decide on the fate of their musical comedy this year. Up to date, the organization is hesitating on the advisability of staging the production. Last year's comedy, although a success in itself, did not bring sufficient profit and cost of work necessary for production. For the past 16 years the W.S.G.A. has presented an annual musical comedy as one of its activities. In the past years $0 has been given to a sub-sub-tutor in a musical comedy. If the W.S.G.A. decides not to give musical comedy this year, it will make plans for some other means of raising funds. With final examinations a little more than a week away, students are beginning to worry about how they should study for finals, but the Rigard H. Anderson School of Technology says that worry devitalizes, and is a source of confusion. He recommends some light reading or a movie for recreation the night before the quiz, provides an online homework resource. No Worry, No Stimulants For Finals Study Professor Wheeler discourages the practice of "crumming" for quizzes. He believes that the final should be a comprehensive examination based on understanding and ability to apply what has been learned. The student should take such position by keeping up the daily work that he will not have to cram. Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University hospital, recommends that the same health rules should hold during the final week as at any other time. Students are required to work and recreation, to get 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night, to get at least 14 hours outdoors every day, and regular meals, and to refrain from alcohol. Professor Wheeler suggests that one should begin studying for the quiz about two weeks ahead, going over the subject matter of the entire course as a whole, and making a systematic and detailed outline. Then forget about it until the exam date. Give an intensive review. After another short interval, skim over the outline. About two days later go over the outline and condense it. Do not study late the night before the quiz, nor in the morning before you go to take the quiz. Peace Action Group to Meet Quentin Brown, President of Campu Young Republicans, Will Speak Quentin Brown, T38, president of the campus Young Republicans club, will speak on "The Republican Party and Peace" at the regular meeting of the Peace Action committee Monday at 4:30 to 10 of the Mamaroneck Union Building.

Hauptmann Weeps For Wife as Hope For Life Vanishes Court of Pardons Denie Plea for Clemency; Last Hope Is Reprieve Trenton, N.J., Jan. 18. (UP)—Bruno Richter Hauptmann haunted him that his last sight hope of life was gone, and he wept—not for himself but for his wife Arnaud. Arnaud is typically, literally, a private officials to敏 her to her husband's death cell. While Mrs. Hauptmann, tears streaming down her cheeks, waited in the prison office, Chief Prison Keeper Mark O. Kimberling and Hauptmann's attorney, C. Lloyd Fisher, went back to his death cell and told the Lindbergh baby murderer that he had been killed—his court of last retest, had denied his plea for elements. "Tell her I'm all right," he said. Mrs. Hauptmann was denied admission to his cell. She was told to "come back Monday." Although the news meant that the former German carpenter and machine-gunner must almost certainly go to the electric chair, he did not break down. He latened calmly and without emotion. He reiterated to Fisher that he was innocent and then his thoughts were his wife, and his eyes filled with tears. "I never saw him cry before," Fisher said. Hauptmann did not know that his wife was at the same time trying to persuade guards to permit her inside. Unless Gov. Harold C. Hoffman grants him a reprieve, Hauptmann will be executed Friday night. Hoffman, who was reported to have been the only memoirist with knowledge of moving clenity, will announce tomorrow whether he will grant a stay. Kimberling said that when he and Fisher entered the death-house, Hauptmann was standing at his cell door. "He knew the court had met today and he had apparently expected the we brought him," Kimberling said. Fisher asked Hauptmann if he would like to confess now or to involve any other in the kidnapping. "I told the truth," Hauptmann said calmly. "No one else was involved with me because I myself was not involved." Lily Pons in Screen Debut Climaxes Successful Operatic Career With Motion Picture Without a single note of prelude or the trumpets of publicity, Lily Pona stirred up the tired little mul-House in Alasce-Lorraine in 1928. The enthusiasm which greeted her singing in the second act of "Lakme," recalled the days when Malibu so passionately grieved his grief upon the operatic stage. On that night Lily Pons injected her whole soul into the music which she also sing in her first KRO Radio show. "I just love it," Song* was her first great aria and it possessed herself and her audience with such force of beauty that townpeople still remember the certainty of its desirability and the vivid tones of the young singer. One afternoon after a lesson, Mastoro Alberti, her teacher, asked Miss Pons to sing for some talent scouts. The students enjoyed the performance. They received her voice with enthusiasm, and several months later cabled her an invitation to come to New York. In February, 1850, she had her Americana concert was placed under a five-year contract. No sooner had Miss Pons flamed across the career horizon than she was besieged by radio producers, and in the spring of 1831 she made her air debt over the N.B.C. network. She is now a well-known Learning System on a commercial program. And now her cinema direct climaxes an extremely successful career. Besides the songs of Jerome Kern, the entire second act of "Lakane" is presented in Dream Too Much, 's soon to play at the Grande剧院 here in Lawrence.

Scrapping of AAA Taxes Sends Food Prices Down Press Survey Shows That Grocers Are Passing Savings On Kansas City, Jan. 12—(UP)–Moderate price reduction on several staple commodities was the grocer's answer to the challenge of the American housewife. The grocery stores browsed and asking, "You said processing taxes made prices higher, now prove it." A United Press survey of food prices that greeted the Saturday shopper compared with those Monday when the Supreme Court scraped the Triple A and declared that the retailer was beginning to pass the saving on to the consumer. As the week closed, bread prices totered and grocers indicated that a general price reduction might come next week. A cut of from one to two cents a leaf in Philadelphia, announced today, led grocery stores to affect the average price of bread. In approximately half of the 17 cities covered in the survey, substantial price reduction on at least two commodities affected by processing taxes had been made. Housewives in the Middle West were the first to benefit. In large populations like Chicago and New York, there was no significant price change. If the housewife purchased a pound of lard, a pound of pork chops, a 48-ounce sack of flour, 5 pounds of sugar, a 12-ounce loaf of bread, a quart of milk, a can of soup, and a corn starch, last Monday morning, she would have paid $5.15 for her purchase. This figure is the result of the average price of these commodities in the 17 cities. If she had purchased the same product today, her bill will have totaled $33.1. To Give Girl Scout Course A Girl Scout training course in troop progress, sponsored by the Girl Scout council of Lawrence, will be given by her parents from New York City, from January 13 to January 16, here in Lawrence.

Opns | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Kansas | 2 | 1.000 | 36 | | Nebraska | 2 | 1.000 | 31 | | Kansas State | 1 | 1.500 | 24 | | Iowa State | 0 | 1.000 | 38 | | Oklahoma | 0 | 1.000 | 37 | | The Kansas Jayhawks remained in the realm of the undefeated by thoroughly trouncing the Iowa State Cyclones, 38-17, last night in the Auditorium. Paced by Francis Kappleman and Milton Allen, the Jayhawkers took the lead shortly after the game started and were never threatened. The Cyclones were trailing at the end of the half, 4-19, and they did not connect with a single field goal in this game. With a free throw, but Noble retaliated with a charity toss to knot the count and from then on the Kansas man had their own way. At the end of ten minutes in the first session, the score stood 11-1. The Iowa State men had a poor eye for the basket last night, missing several open shots. The Cyclone defense had Ray Ebing pretty well prepared, up holding him to two field goals and one free throw, and the Kansas defense held Better 'Safe Than Sorry' When Dr. Allen took the first team out of the game last night, he took over the ball and then thinking better of it he told his two "Death Rays" to remain for a few minutes. The Jay-hawkers were ahead at the time, "I know we have a good lead," said Dr. Allen, "but I don't want to do anything foolish." Kappleman High Scoer Kappleman, Kappleman and Allie were "hoc" but there was no difference between them. Kappleman was the high scorer of the game with 10 points. Jack Flemming, who was the leading scorer in the non-conference games, to three points. The Jayhawkers put on a demonstration of ball handling that was superior to any seen by fans in this part of the country for some time. Although Thomson, the 6-foot-5 inch center for Iowa State, controlled the tip, the Kansas men managed to break in and get the ball a good share of the time. The team also learned how the Iowa State men had difficulty getting the ball in for close shots. The Kansas men showed that they did not need to work the ball in. Both Kapplean and Allen were hitting from well out on the floor. Ruby Nobile played a nice game under the basket, but he broke the rebounds and two tip-in shots. Uses Entire Souad Dr. Allen used his entire squad of 15 men in the game. Although the reserves showed plenty of fight, they were forced to do anything in the line of scarcity. The Jayahawkers also showed their superiority at the free throw line, making good eight out of 12 chances, while the Chargers team collected 13 person roles, but Torvedo Holmes, Cyclone guard and explain, was the only man to leave Last night saw two new rules being put into effect, once when Allen was called for being in the free throw lane and then when he was called for the other and when Ebling went ahead to score a goal after he had been fouled and the whistle beaten by the blown. This game was similar to the first Iowa State-Kansas game last year, when the Jayhawkers trimmed the Cyclones. 35-18. The Iowa State men move from here to Norman, where they take on the Sooners Monday night. Kansas new turns their attention to preparation for the game with Missouri, Jan. 15, at Columbia.
