The Christmas parties started off last Friday with the Pi Phi and Alpha Chi's hostesses. Wonder why the Pi Phi don't issue an exemption list instead of being granted a special glowing like a neon sign and pointed toward the Alpha Chi's remodeled barn (One way of indicating where the fun could be bad.) . They say that they wear black glasses to it be that her escort was wearing his pants higher than usual and she was shocked when that knee was exposed?) . You have to give it to the Alpha Chi's
... You have to give it to the Alpha Chi's for keeping their 'dirt away from this column, but the Owl will get it.
There's a fraternity here that has been dead a long time in the estimation of some people; and I thought they recognized the fact, too, when they hung out a wreath the other day, but instead they remembered Christmas.
Sorry the Kappa's didn't have their party Friday night so that this column could tell you what should be told in the paper of the paper instead of next Tuesday.

Every time a man who is said in need of a hair-cut goes to western Kansas, the people think he is a farmer, a college student, or an actor.
There's a bet on to which will be the dollar of two things in this issue of The Wall Street Journal. Hadley will no doubt have a thriller or the editorial page that will make it
Hate to mention the Pi Phi's again, but they should be congratulated for giving their Christmas party yesterday afterward. That was too much Lawrence. Paul Minter played the part of Santa Claus. Don't feel bad Paul. Santa Claus also has played Saints Claus for a Pi Phi.

This man in Arizona who was accused of having more than one wife reminds one of Red Blackburn and all of his girl friends. The Arizona man claims that it's within his constitutional rights to have all these wives, and we say that it is wrong for them to stand up under the strain of more than one wife—well, he give his way.
It looks like Ray Noble is going to walk off with the basketball honors this year. Already some wise guy has taken a poster with the picture of a player on it, and he added the addition of several little detail offerings that titled "Ray Noble's bubble dance."

Students Warned
To Beware of Distress
On Library Steps
These loyal students who fearlessly come to their demands for new library resources and are augmented last night by large numbers of students who emerged from the Saturdays.
The whistle of the storm was not sufficient, however, to subdue the muffled curses of the betrayed students, and the news room of the Kansan was rapidly filled with volunteer editorial writers, who wanted to write on the same subject.
All students intending to go to the library this afternoon are cautioned to use the greatest care in ascending and descending the dangerous steps in order to keep up to a minimum. Late attention is necessary to be in a condition utterly unfit for use.
Student Narrowly Escapes Serious Injury in Fall Yesterday
Another Co-Ed Is Victim Of Library Entrance
Despite the fact that students were treading up and down the wooden scaffold steps in front of the library yesterday with special caution, at least one more student, a woman, fell on them narrowly escaping serious injury.
At the same time a $8,500 fund for constructing permanent steps continued to lie in the state treasury at Tonska
structuring permanent steps continued to lei idle in the state treasury at Topeka. The state architect apparently is engaged in more important work than drawing up plans for safer steps for University buildings, which to enter on the school library.
An examination of the scaffolding yesterday revealed the fact that the liners supporting the trusses of the steps are made of a stiff plastic material, addition, the underside of many of the steps and platform trusses was found badly rotted, with some hardy a half inch of sound wood to give a stack of glove legs from slipting through into sacks.
Braces Loose and Decayed
One bracing board underneath the scaffolding was hanging useless from a liner, a few rusty nails preventing it from falling to the ground. Bits of decayed wood clinging to comparatively whole boards at other points, inward that made them appear as if they were some time in the past. It appears that the danger caused by the narrowness of the steps, especially in ky weather, is not the only one to be feared. A number of indignant students added their protests against the steps to others' messages, and a drive for permanent ones, yesterday. Some of their statements follow:
NUMBER 68
Julia Jenckes, president W.S.G.A: "The need for new library steps is very important. As they are, they are dangerous. Our library staff would greatly improve the landscape. Irasmach as the building has been built 11 years, I think it is about time the steps were completed. I am sure it will be the highest approval from the students."
Students Voice Opinion
Dorothy Willeca, c.39: "It seems to me it's a dismay that nothing has been done on the wooden steps in front of the room where we are some improving, let them start there." Robert Frakes, c.39: "The steps should be greatly improved all. ull University. They need to be better."
Jack Miller, c:38: "The library steps are an cyeores to the campus; ice that forms on the boards makes the steps very dangerous."
Betty Jean Reeder, c.196 "The steps make an awful appearance and should be fixed."

Leon Lailer, c37. "The beauty of the library building is marred by the steps; they could be improved considerably." Phil Burke, c39. "The library steps
Among the questions discussed Thursday afternoon at the meeting of the Committee on Campus Traditions was that of Hobo Day and the possibility of its being continued in the future.
John Oppenheim, c'38: "The librar. entrance is a disgrace to the campus."

AS A DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE
SHAW EXPLAINS FINGER ART
Liquid Air Freezes Cranberries, Burns Metal And Runs Engine
Dr H. P. Cady, professor in the department of chemistry, famed for experiments leading to the present wide acceptance of his discovery, gave once again his demonstration of the property of liquid air before members of a Chemistry II class Friday after the meeting.
To demonstrate the extreme lack of heat in the liquified gas, Professor Cady used it to freeze alcohol, which has a freezing point of a minus 100 degree Fahrenheit. (Do not heat Fahrenheit.) Although frozen alcohol will cause severe frostburn to the flesh, according to the professor, he demonstrated the harmlessness of the coldier liquid air to the flesh by drinking a drink of it, and by dipping his fingers in it.
To conclude his demonstration, the professor burned charcoal, a steel watch spring, and aluminum in the oxygen portion of the liquid air. In the case of the aluminum, the temperature rose to 80 degrees at which 90 degrees of air allowed liquid air to 6000 degrees centigrade almost instantaneously.
This phenomenon, he explained, is due to a layer of steam, produced when water in the soil evaporates with the heat of the body, which prevents actual contact between the flesh and the liquid. Freezing demonstrations occur on flowers, cranberries, and mercury.
Professor Cady next caused a miniature steam engine to run by means of the pressure generated while liquid is warming; he changed its norma

Chicago, Dec. 14—(UP)—Proselyting in the American colleges extends beyond professionalism on the football field, and effects even promising youth debaters and talented musicians it was revealed today in a meeting of a special conference of the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools.

All members are urged to attend, and a cordial invitation is extended to anyone who is interested even though not a member.
Stradley charged that the individuals interests were being sacrificed of the whims of his college and that in many cases a youth "hug pressured" by a college agent arrives at the school because he is more than difficult to tell why he is there.
The first part will be devoted to a brief report upon the international situation by Sam Haiper, who has chosen to attend the session. The latter part of the program will be

Rose Bowl Trips Given To Burgert And Agnes Skolout
Two Freshmen Hold Lucky Numbers at Granada Drawing Friday Evening
Two freshmen, Agnes Skolbut, Beardley, Kan, and Lloyd Burgert, Lawrence, both students in the college, were the winners of the free trip to England at the 2014 Year's Day, given in the contest sponsored by the Jahwaker magazine and the Granada theater. The lucky numbers were drawn on the slap of the ticket.
Ralph Elson, 'c38, Marvin Peterson,
'c28, and Edith Kennedy, 'c36, each won a year's pass to the Granada.
Robert Ardley, b37, Lawrence, held the first number that was drawn for the mens' award, but he failed to reach the stage in the one minute that was allowed. Mr. Lloyd Burger's number had been called and Mr. Burgert had come forward. It was decided between the two boys that to flip a coin would be fair. This was done and Burgert won. Mr. Burger awarded a year's pass to the theater.
Schwahn Likes Spirit
Stanley Schwahn, manager of the Granada Theater, said yesterday, "I think the student body represented at the theater showed that they accepted the contest in a real University spirit. I believe that interest by applauding and cheering them by the 40,000 coupons that had been deposited before the contest. From the reception the contest received, I am of the opinion that the entire student body would like to see a content of this contest on record and also to have an on record to cooperate 100 per cent with the Jayhawker in any context they might wish to conduct in the future.
"I have discussed the contest with a number of Jayhawker advertisers and all were of the opinion that this contest was one of the finest things the Jayhawker has ever done in order to cater to their needs, and a closer understanding and better business relationship with the Jayhawker."
Thinks the Idea Excellent
Agnes Skolaut upon being interviewed, said, "I think the promoters of this contest have set up an excellent example in giving the University win-win situation and appreciate the honor of being co-winner in the first Rose Bowl contest."
Lloyd Burdert, the other winner, said,
"I believe that I was very lucky in winning this contest and I was luckier than ever when I won the flip of the car. At yet, I have made no plans to trip, but I am looking forward to it."
John Chandler, editor of the Jay-hawker, said in regard to the contest, "I congratulate the winners and hope they have a fine trip. Although it has been a lot of work, it has been a success." Mr. Hawker says that to see it become an annual event."
Miss Skolotl will meet the bus at Garden City and Mr. Burgert will leave Monday morning, December 30 at 1:15 and will travel on the Santa Fe night coach. They will arrive in Los Angeles Tuesday morning at 6:15.
On Tuesday they will go down the coast and visit resorts on the way to San Diego, where they will view the Pacific fleet. They will return to Los Angeles that it evening. Wednesday they will attend the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena, and in the afternoon they will go to the RoseBowl game.
To Visit Film Studios
Thursday morning, through arrangements made by Mr. Schwahn, they will be guests at the Metro-Golden-Maver studios, where they will have lunchmen and watch the production of moving pictures.
The two winners will leave Los Angeles that night at 9:15 and will arrive in Lawrence Saturday night at 9:15. The prize is the best theater, sponsors of the contest, will defray all of the expenses of the trip except the transportation, which was provided by the Santa Fe System in ex-act for advertising in the Jayhawker.
Plans have been discussed for making this an annual event, but it will be left up to the discretion of the Jay-hawk manager next year.
