Well, Christmas comes but once a year, thank goodness. Greeting cards were plentiful around this place, but very few were of the kindly nature. He was kind enough to train malecine not from three who one would never suspect. Guernsey, Lyman, and an ex-school teacher, Kelly "Llymyn," by the way, returned to school early and must have relied on his father for dinner. He paid for his dinner Sunday night with pennies."In the field of vacation politics we find that Roosevelt made a speech that seemed somewhat blased. He defended his "artificial respiration policy to save the U.S."[4] against a skid after the snow, some fun eh?
Far be it from me to tell little white, lily. Why not tell big black ones? Before the yuletle the column came out with a flash that was supposed to tell the why and wherefore of the Jayahawkower beauty queen. After the Yuletle, someone offered a very biting opinion on the situation. To tell the truth, I did think Muhamed might know the guilty party. Why should one Wood run down down another, don't we al have our troubles?
Gene Lloyd, D.U. and Varsity dance manager, says positively that Buddy Fisher's orchestra, which will play here for the Soph Hop, is the best ever to come on the Hill. How about all those plays that hill play the record varities?
Hallier "Perenue" Harris, genial head hallion who has become well known for his big game hunting activities, was called on recently to exercise his talutial skills and learned to turbine animal from the class room occupied at the time by Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes' class. With the aid of a couple of his "boys," Harris accomplished the capture of one small hungry female in the class, feminine members of the class including the teacher, stood on their chairs whilst the hunt was in progress. Hallie even doubts the courage of some of the men in the class, and to tell the truth we often wondered about those specimens an inferner sex who indulges in such courses.

Big Jim Polkinghorn came back to school with a beautiful sherder yesterday. Jim says the guy hit him when he won't look. Seein' as how "Polk" also has a taped-ankle we just put on our thinking cap and figured that he probably sprained his ankle trying to get away.
That man's writing poetry again Here's his latest:
this is not stealing Owlie's stuff, but 'tis rumored that Charles Alexander has a secret that he's afraid will get him arrested. It concerns someone at Wattles hall.

Orchestra To Play Annual Mid-winter Concert Thursday
Cesar Franck Symphony to Be Featured Work; Tau Sigma Will Also Appear
The Kansas University Orchestra will present its thirty-third Annual Midwinter Conference Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the University auditorium, under the direction of Karl Kuehrstein professor in the School of Fine Arts.
The personnel of the orchestra will number 70 members. This is somewhat unusual, given that a program for the concluding number on the program *Ferde Grofe's "Mississippi Suite," which calls for three saxophones and one guitar*, to the usual full instrumentation.
The featured work of the evening will be the "Symphony in D minor" by Cesar Franch, the greatest of all French com- plembers, and its competition runs today as one of the most acclaimed works of its severe maturity and its lack of dramatic technical display. As an example of its worth, it has been played by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra this fall. The combined performance shows Sigma, honorary dancing sorority, and the orchestra proved so successful last year that the same plan will be used Thursday night. The work to be pro- duced for Thursday night. The proof to be Poey Gerlut "Suite of Edward Grein
Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, assistant professor of physical education, has created the choreography for the entire suite. All four selections of this suite will be presented at "The Death of Ase," "Antiria's Dances," and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" Twenty-seven women have been assigned parts. All of the dances are ensemble in character with one group or two, and usually leading as the central figure.
A kuppel-horizontal has been constructed. This is a set well known in the German theater, but is the first to be used in this section of the country. Originally such a set is considered too difficult to move and too expensive to cost. One may be used has been constructed for temporary materials at very little cost.
In construction the kuppel-horizant is an inner section of a sphere. It is 20 feet high and 60 feet wide. To the audience it might appear as an ordinary drop, but its curved surface confuses the eye and gives an illusion of depth. It also spreads and splashes the lights to the best advantage for the dancing.
Provisions for the seating of the orchestra will be provided for by two elevations of platforms placed on the basketball court. All the seats will be removed from the front part of the auditorium.
The concert will start promptly at 8 o'clock. The audience is requested to arrive on time, as late-comers cannot be seated until after the overture. The entire event will last one and three quarters hours.
