There's Trouble Afoot . . . She Was Only an Innoant Daisy . . . Kansas City Anatomy Class. . . Homecoming With All the Trimmings. . . The Play's the Thing. When Told by Somebody Else
Without a word of warning, the Sour Owl is planning to reveal rare dirt in the most insidious way possible. It prizes youngsters running about the Hill. So be good, or else. This isn't an advertisement. We just want you to look at our youngsters plating against the common folk.
Some one's keeping it in Daisy Hoffman and her faction, while she was parting with her lunch (which was none too good but the best the Pi Phi's had to offer) for dinner. When she met Landon was a Democrat or a Republican. Daisy was sincere about it, too.
From all indications, a great crowd of Jayhawkers, both old and young, attended the Follies Burger in Kansas City last week-end. Saw a bunch of the Hill poisonals on the baled-head row. Yes, Guernsey was right amongst them. It is good to know that these are an appreciative art. To many of us, the human body is sacred, and what bulging muscles those men had.
NUMBER 52
Looks like homecoming is going to be no little affair this year. The Greek letter houses will be decorated, and also some business houses. Then, too, a couple of big boxes will cost a lot of money. Each organized house is supposed to enter a stunt or float in the parade, and the winner draws 28 bucks. Of course a fraternity or sorority couldn't use the money—much but not all. A member would have to member that a few years ago a very clever set-up was ruled out in a contest because it was a trifle shady. This means that the best things should not be attempted, or if they are, don't exercise their best chance of getting some regular allowes to judge such a contest.
"To know the antique structure i to realize the situation.
Last week I gave you a rough idea of a story that was untellable; then, too, I'm awful modest. But A. J. Carruth told all in the Topeka State Journal, so I give you his version of the affair: I played in the play student in Fraser hall at KU.
"The student player's mind was in whirl—and just then another member of the cast appeared.
"One of the rah-rah players was reposing on the 'throne'. Before he realized the time he had taken for his relaxation his cue was given. In near terror the complications overcame him. The 'throne' is one of old type that the player must put into action. And it goes into action automatically when the visitor arises.
"The second student, also realizing the emergency, slid into place.
"Here, quick!" shouted the young man whose appearance on the stage was in demand. "Sit here—sit here—sit here, I've got to go one!"
"All was well—that is, well, until No. 2 on the 'throne' heard the play swing along to his cure.
"What was he to do?
Get up and utterly spoil the play with the roar of water?
"But he must go on—in a few moments his entrance on the stage was scheduled.
"He heard footsteps. It was one of the ushers.
"Come here, quick!" he stage whispered. 'Stay here—don't move—I must accept my cue.'
"And he scurried from the little room.
"The play went on, the hat curtain fell and the audience drifted from the hall before No. 3 dared leave his post.
"Unhaltered, unsung, without the honors accorded by the Daily Kansas critics, without his name on the program, the usher, Hero No. 3 of our little story, left the building humble but wiser."
Club Hears Professor
Dr. N. Wyman Storer, assistant professor of astronomy, spoke on "Determination of Astronomical Distance" at the mathematics club meeting yesterday. RFD3HR Administration building. Refreshments were served after the meeting.
Homecoming Day Will Be Celebrated With Big Parade
Added Features Announce by Committee Will Include Rally and Contact
Contest
Definite plans for the Homecoming celebration, which will be co-ordinated with the Kannan-Missouri football game on March 31 and the day preceding, were announced last night at the final general meeting of the homecoming committee, headed by Coach Chuck Norris. A torchlight parade, with more added features than ever before, is being molded into an actuality by Corlett Coburn, 129, and his parade committee, who organized it.
Prizes for Clever Stunts
prizes await the contrivers of the most original and clever stunts or floats which appear in the torchlight parade. Any organized house or other organized group may enter a float or stunt in the parade. The three prizes, contributed by members of the Lawrence Club, Commissure, the Lawrence Relays Club, and the Athletic association of the University, will be $25, first prize; $15, second prize; and $3 third.
C. C. Carl and Dolph Simons, downwardly motivated men, have been named to act as advisers of the university, Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women of the University, to act as the third judge
Mr. Hanna, who was the spokesman for the arrangement at the Homecoming committee meeting yesterday, stated that the cost or quality of material used in a float, or the relative expense of a prize, could be disregarded in awarding the prizes.
"Originality," he said, "will be the basis on which prizes will be awarded."
**Edward Tucker, president of the Men's Pan-Holistic Council, stated that the Council has voted to support the float and stunt program of the torchlight parade. Co-operation of the sororites on the Hill also has been indicated by spouseswoman from the several organizations.**
It was made plain to the Homecoming committee that the plan of offering prizes for floats and stunts will in no way affect any plans of organized houses to decorate their residences for the Homecoming. Although no definite announcement has been made about the present plans indicate that prizes will be offered by University organizations for the best decorated houses.
In an effort to do everything possible to make the torchlight parade and its new feature a success, the downtown business men, through George Hedrick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, have pledged their support in securing sponsorships and organizations in rigging up stunts and floats.
Trucks Will Be Furnished
M. Mr. Hendrick is urging that all organized houses that forsee the need of a truck to carry out their parade plans to touch in with him as once, phone 485, so that ample provision can be made for vehicles and those houses desiring to take advantage of this offer. The trucks can be secured on Wednesday afternoon before the parade, in plenty of time to transfer decorations, or to be used in the parade that evening.
Other distinctive features of the two day Homecoming welcome to alumni of the University will include on Wednesday the finals in the intra-mural touching event for all alumni at the memorial Stadium field; a fifteen-minute broadcast radioduct over KKFU during the evening dinner hour; a mass meeting in South Park and subsequent torchlight event for alumni at the memorial broadcast; and finally a Homecoming variety in the Memorial Janitorial ballroom.

Handless Cue Artist Is a Recognized Expert of the Ivory Sport
George (Handless) Sutton, one of marvels of the sports world, will appear at the Memorial Union building this afternoon at 3:30 in the most crowded stadium in the world. Sutton is the second of the seven cue ables who will appear here this winter on the National Billiard Center's national "Better Billiards" program.
One of the greatest attractions in sports, Sutton will demonstrate his ability in a two-hour exhibition of all styles of billards and fancy shots, one hour of which he will offer free instruction to both women and men. In an otherwise witnessed Sutton in action, it may seem impossible to be able to play billards without the use of hands; but the "handless wonder" puts all such thought in utter outt. He makes draw shots, follow shots; in fact, every shot known in billards, uses the bridge — is good for this game — and the tenmasters of the game.
Born in Tsedlo, Ohio, in 1874, Stuart found himself handicapped when he lost both hands in a planing mill. During his early career he studied as an art teacher, but however, he forsook both studies to devote his entire time to mastering the art of billboards and today is regarded as one of the experts of the ivory sport.

Chancellor E. H. Lindley—"Will Rogers was one of the wisest men of his generation and of the kindlest. He was tremendously interested in young people. He offered to come to the University and lecture without charge, provided that the funds be used for the benefits of students. The Will Rogers was one of the wisest men of his generation. If everyone who felt the goodwill of Will Rogers were to give his mite, the fund will be worthy of his great name."
Carl Peters." "I'll gladly throw in my nickel for a memorial to the great humourist so long as it does not go for so humourless a thing as a statue. Considering that zone of his best performer, he is now more willing to wish for a better memorial perhaps, than the fact that he could inspire many others to charity after his death."
Everyone Should Contribute
Zeliaeph Baughman, adviser of women
—The Memorial is something that
should be remembered and all enjoyed him so much in his setting, by radio and by his writing. He appealed to more Americans than anyone else. The fund is something to each everyone will want to contribute.
Henry Werner, adviser of men — "Will Rogers was so typically American, I don't think any American could afford to disregard him. I think it difficult for me to say that he has had on our destiny at this time. He heartily in sympathy with a project of this kind, to commemorate the memory of a man who had the faculty of saying what he wished without anyone else, an enemy that anyone could discover."
Frances Bruce—"A living memorial to Will Rogers would be a fine tribute to an outstanding man and I'm sure all of us will do our part."

Oxford Debaters Argue With Spirit Against Kansans
Lane and Field Exchange Good Humored Thrusters With English Visitors
Salty quips and pertinent remarks fleek thick and fast last night in Fraser theater as two representatives of Oxford University and two University of Kansas speakers indulged in a bit of personal sarcasm about the decision debate on the question. "Resolved: That in the opinion of this house, the judiciary should have no power to override the decisions of the legislature or the executive." The English students, Mr. Richard Kay-Shuttleworth and Mr. A. W. J. Greenwood upheld the affirmative side of the question, while the negative team was composed of Logan Law, secretary of the college, Mr. E. J. senior in the School of Law, and Lyman Field, president of the Men's Student Council and a senior in the College.
Present Good Arguments
Mr. Greenwood showed an ability rarely seen here in drawing laughs from the audience with remarks made at their own expense, scoring a hit with his statement that "we had the impression before we came here that America was a collection of peoples from all over the world by the time Evening Post, but we find we are wrong; it is not the Post, but Bally-hoo."
The English speakers observed in a good-humored way that they had come to the University of Kansas with the intention of pointing out the faults of their own political statements and attitudes of the Kansas debaters had made it necessary for them to extend their remarks to include the entire system of government.
Lane and Field pointed out as a defense of the United States' governmental methods that Australia and Canada, both major parts of Great Britain possesses, had systems comparable to ours and seemed to believe in practical and practical, and invited the Oxoniads to comment on the comparison.
In reply to remarks of the English speakers in comparing the judiciary of the United States with that of England, Lane stated that "the English people have no need for a supreme discussion of this question with English like comparing the use of a navy for the one we r Kansas."
Mr. Greenwood, of the English team, stated that the debate was not the most important function of the event. "It gives the young people of other countries the opportunity to straighten out problems that are common to all of us," he said. "It aids greatly in the understanding between the American and the British." After all, there is not a great deal of differences between our races.
