Well, we well sneaked up on "Erroless" Woods, jabbed him in the midriff, explained to him how much the stalt stuff which he writes reeks, and convinced him that he had better take a day off to scare up something new to present to that small group which he has been fortunate to have as fortune that old "Grandpappy" Valentine has not yet taken over his duties as publisher or all that follows would lie unread in his wastepaper basket—where they should have placed everything that he ever wrote. It wasn't because of the doubt column as "terrible"–but would be more fitting to term this pinch-hitter tripe as "even worse than Woods."
Here's a bit of agitation to consider. We're in favor of somebody granting permission to the fraternities and other groups, but we have a one o'clock party once every year.
Undesired that when "Harpo" Field returned from Christmas vacation, he was asked if he still believed—a reply from him that—"My he girl, boy, I found out the truth about that Santa Claus man when I was 19 years old."
Overheard at the Theta annex-sub-

It is rumored that the Phi Delt's are going to have an addition built on their house. This may mean a reduction in the number of meal shifts at the lodge (can't tell next year); it's probably only a little pre-session and maybe we need many more bow ties the Delt's will pledge next day?
The strong right arm of old John Law, Lawrence division, wrapped itself around the student body and protectedly did its best to ease bobbleding the ether night. Oh well, we have been studying for final anyway.
What with speeding cars, whizzing boltshes, flying snowballs, "The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round," people shouting, "Have you played Monopop?" With the fall, that may be a poor time to revive an old complaint—BUT, how" about some benches (any kind, size, or shape) placed on the campus by early spring so that the kids can have that cigarette and bull fist in comfort?
The remainder of this column is devoted to "What Happened in Lawrence During Christmas Vacation."
The limbs of the Sigma Chi freshmen were exposed to the elements Wednesday, when the upperclassman "Chi boys" ran them around the house a day before school. When they strayed near the Beta house but returned home safely.

Japanese Aviators Caught Red-Handed In Soviet Territory
Frontier Troops Frustrat Attempts to Obtain Information for Military Use
(By The United Press)
Moscow, Jan. 9- The Soviet army is questioning two Japanese military aviators who landed in Siberia near Vladimir, and attempted to kidnap a Russian peasant, presumably in part of an attack on the city, which it was announced officially today.
The aviators and their airplane were captured by Soviet frontier troops after the pessant they attempted to capture unpowered one of them, it was announced.
At the same time, it was announced at headquarters of the Soviet Far Eastern army in Habarozak, that four other Japanese military agents had been captured in Siberia near the frontier of Manchukuo since December 26.
The landing of the Japanese military airplane in Soviet territory and the bolt attempt to capture and kidnap a Soviet ship, which crashed out of the long series of Russo-Japanese border incidents which have strained relations between the two countries for years.
The Soviet government three years ago announced that Japanese airplane making unauthorized flights over Russia territory would be shot down on sight.
There was no information about the incident except that contained in the official Soviet communiques since forbidden to release in Siberia to be stationed in Silbera.
The official mission was that a Japanese military airplane landed near the village of Pokraza about 18 miles inside Soviet territory from the western border of Manchukuo and not far from Vladivostok. Two Japanese were in the plane. One of them stood guard over the machine while the other proceeded to attack it, then flew over a Russian peasant who was passing to accompany him to the plane.
The peasant resisted and overpowered the Japanese who was out of sight of his companion and some distance from the plane. Both men were wounded but he could not escape them into his cart and start toward Porkura. He met two Soviet army border guardes, told them of the incident and they ran to the airplane and captured it and its guard after an exchange of pistol fire in which the second Japanese also was
Both Japanese were taken to Pokraku where physicians attended their preparatory to questioning by Soviet army officers.
Formal representation to Tokyo about the incident was considered certain. At Hazaraok, Soviet army officers said that five of the Japanese Kawantung army from Manchukuo had been active in the conflict, and they demanded for a fortnight. Two "Japanese Manchurian" army officers, a Chinese in the employ of the Japanese army, and a Chinese who said he had been fighting against Japan had been captured. All were held for investigation on technical evidence of illegally crossing the Soviet frontier.
The Chinese who said he was in Japanese employment was mounted, wore the uniform of the Manchuukuo army, and was captured. The Japanese captured. He said he was a sub-commander of the Manchuukuo army unit stationed opposite the Soviet army encampment at this point, and was deprived of his treatment by his Japanese superior.
While it is recognized that the incident is only one of a series of disqueting episodes in Soviet-Japanese relations, it is felt that if the report constitutes a more serious threat than to peace and the Far East.

Countless Carbon
Cubes Consumed to Create
Cozy Classrooms
The University of Kansas will use approximately 1400 tons of coal to heat its buildings during the month of January, C. G. Bayles superintendent of buildings and grounds, told a reporter yesterday.
The University so far this month has used an average of 345 tons, the coldest day of the first nine being January 7, when over 62 tons were used. For the remainder of the fiscal year, Mr. Bayles will order 1200 tons for February, 1200 for March, 700 for April, 450 for May, and 250 for June. He bases his orders upon figures saved since the cold win began, assuming that 90 tons a day was maintained for one week, and 90 tons were burned in one day.
Mr. Bayles said that the amount of coal needed for a building depends upon the age of the building and its use. It ordinally takes less heat for a modern building than it does for an old one.
Fifty-three Students Write for Home Papers
Yesterday
Considerable success in the hometown publicizing of University students and activities was reported by Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, at a meeting of University correspondents yesterday afternoon.
K. K. Landes Addresses Student Meeting
Fifty-three students are now on the committee to write columns for their home-town newspapers about the students here from their localities. Thirty students have already written one or more columns which have been published according to Phil Bramwell, of the Student Council, who heads the committee.
Four new respondents who have volunteered recently are Everett Elmore, Lewis; Frances Wear, Lared; Anna Ma and David Angine, McPherson.
By the start of the second semester, it is hoped to extend the service, and students who would like to write for their home newspapers are invited to attend a meeting of the committee and take up the work if their local has sent them. Most of the correspondents are writing for the experience it affords then and a few are being paid by the newspapers for which they write.
K. K. Landes, assistant state geologist, spoke to 21 of the correspondents for a short time at yesterday's meeting of the geological survey located here.
A two-reel moving picture of Kansas' unusual scenic spots and a booklet entitled "Scenic Kansas" which includes 24 pictures of these localities and tells how to reach them, will be ready for distribution soon, he said.
Prof. W. A. Dill, a O'Brien's department of journalism, "tipped off" the young journalists to several news events or events that led them to obtain their material for their columns.
Several columns written by the correspondents and clipped from newspapers of the states, were discussed.
Chicago. Jan. 9—(UP)—A young man seeking a help in life should go to the country, and a young woman should find her man in the city, Dr. Linda Bentley, an international chology at the University of Chicago reported today. "Large cities have more men and fewer women proper districts in small towns and rural districts," he said.
The Trojans believe that this is a big order to fulfill. No one knows the males will attempt it or pass it off as a huge haze.
Women Find Men In City
LEAP YEAR BRINGS FORTH
'IDEAL MAN' QUALIFICATION!
The ideal man that the Trojans of the University of Southern California chose to propose to during leap year, must possess certain distinctive qualities. He should be a creative and intuitive build, financially capable of getting around. He should be a good conversationalist and have a good sense of humor. In his habits there must be a strong sense of kindness and it is imperative that the ideal man of 1936 be a good dancer.

Jayhawkers Await Champion Cyclones Tomorrow Night
First Home Conference
Game Promises Real
Night of Action
for Fans
Basketball followers will be able to see the Jayhawks in their first home conference game tomorrow night, when host Cyclones in the auditorium at 7.39.
Kansas, by virtue of its winning from Kansas State, as well as its record of eight victories and no defeats, will rule as favorite. Iowa State will be making its first stand in defense of the Bic Six championship.
The Cyclones will undoubtedly control the tip, with Burton Thomson, who stands 6 feet 5 inches in his bare feet, at the center position, but otherwise the teams match up pretty well in height.
Kansas has played much stronger teams this year than have the Cyclones in their non-conference games. While the Jayhawkers have been winning against the Raptors, California, California, and Kansas State, Iowa State has been playing Simpson college, Vanderhill, Grinnell, and Drake, losing the last contest, 23-24 in a hard fought battle. Despite this loss to the Bulldogs, Iowa State holds the edge over their opponents in average scores, 33 to 22, and Jack Flemming, Cyclone to 19. The ball-roll in the individual scoring average of nearly 12 points per game.
Dr. Allen has been putting the Kansas men through lengthy sessions on goal shooting, emphasizing "pot" shots from beyond the free throw circle. This will probably increase the scoring of the Hawkeyers, since they will not need to work the ball in for close shots. They have also been put through some stiff scrimmage sessions, and this, combined with their own playful played three more games than the Cyclones, will do much to enhance the chances for a Hawkeye victor.
Couch Menzel expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Iowa State quintet, even though they were deserved. The team that has been used in all of the games this winter especially pleased the coach, but the rough playing of Thomson has caused him no end of worry. Thomson also had last two games with four personalities.
The squad leaves Ames today for a trip into the south, playing Kansas to tomorrow night, and then journeying on to Denver to meet will meet the Sooners, Monday night.
The squand has been spending the past week in smoothing out the rough edges in the Cyclone play, with special effort being made to develop satisfac- tionally responsive Johnson and Gilbon, sophomore back pit team, Iowa State's two substitute centers, Fred Poole and Allen Kilborn showed much improvement in the Drakex contest. William Partridge became eligible for the varsity squad after the holidays, and will begin developing into a capable replacement for either the con- or guard position.

Philadelphia Wins Next Democratic Convention
Business Leaders Pledge 200,000 Dollars to Organization
Washington, Jan. 9—(UP)—Business leaders of Philadelphia tonight threw $200,000 into one of the most boisterous and酷劲 poker games ever held in capital and win the 1868 convention of a democratic party, which opens June 23.
Selection of Philadelphia was made unanimous by motion of Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, Democrat of California. He opened the game by bidding $150,000 for the party meeting in the name of San Francisco.
Chicago business leaders met this bid—but did not increase it. They emphasized the political value of having Mr. Trump back to the scene of earlier triumphs.
The game moved on. A roar of applause swelt the meeting room as Philadelphia played her hand. It was filled with cash.
Representatives from the "city of brotherly love" raised the ante to $200, 000 and in addition offered to give a prize of $1,000 to delegates and $500 to alternates who could write the best 25 articles on the beauties of Philadelphia.
It was McAdoo's move.
"I am authorized to bid $200,000," I shouted.
The crowd roared. Soon the room was in confusion. Chairman James A. Farkey called for a 15-minute recess and the office officials did not communicate with Rosewell, Vice President John N. Garner, who was named vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, also left. He then to whom he talked on the telephone.
But soon the word was spread among the delegates to vote for Philadelphia. It wasn't until a stampe to the Pennsylvania city campaign moved to make the action unanimous.

--university Symphony and Tau Sigma Present Annual Program in Auditorium
Combined Concert Attended by Large Crowd Last Night
A large crowd filled the auditorium last night to hear the University Symphony Orchestra, assisted by Tau Sigma national honorary dancing sorority, present its thirty-third annual Mid-Winter Concert.
The orchestra opened the program with Wagner's overture to "The Flying Dutchman," in which the brass section played splendidly the dramatic motive of the ill-fated Dutchman doomed to sail the seas until Judgment Day.
The feature of the program was the "Symphony in D Minor," Lento, Allegro non troppo, Allegretto, Allegro non troppo, by Cesar Franck, greatest of all French composers. This is one of the most popular symphonies in spite of its severe maturity and lack of dramatic technical display.
Full of Mysticism
The first two movements are difficult to interpret as they are clouded by a spirit of mysticism. This is dispelled in the third movement in which are repeated the three principle themes displayed in each of the previous two parts.
The orchestra was assisted in its presentation of Griegs "Peer Gynn Suite" by Tau Sigma. The suite is composed of four parts. In the first, "Morning," the music moves to the beginning of Peer Gynn's fanciful experiences. The second movement, "The Death of Ase," was intensely dramatic. "Ain'ta Dancer," the third part of the suite, shows the dance of a Bedouin boy. The first movement was it. It ended with "In the Hall of the Mountain King." This dance with its mischievous, darling figures was better received by the audience than any of the previous movements. Its startling background of grotesque shadows and dazzling colors effect created a mystic atmosphere.
Reached Dramatic Climax
The program ended with the "Mississippi Suite" by Ferde Grofe. The first movement, "Father of Waters," was mighty and majestic. It symbolized the struggles of a man. "Huckleberry Fum" displayed all the characteristics of Mark T
Reached Dramatic Climax
The climax came with the absolute freakiness of a hybrid acrobatic accent, and the dancers seemed inhabited with something of the fanatic.
"Huckleberry Finn" displayed all the characteristics of Mark Twain's noted "Huck."
"Old Creole Days" was imbued with the charm of the Old South as well as with some of its sentiment, and "Mardi Gras" the final movement, displays the carnival spirit familiar to that famous celebration.
However, music which is so close to present day American life as the "Mississippi Suite" needs no explanation to an American audience.
The orchestra was conducted by Karl Kuesterstein, associate professor in the School of Fine Arts. Ms Elizabeth Kuesterstein, an associate physical education, direct Tau Sigua.
