Things are getting pretty bad when this begins to happen in one of our better Hill sororites.
A pledge in a certain organization noticed that the light in an active room was on, so trying to be helpful, she turned it off. This resulted in its being turned on again by the active. The **voice** came back by turning it off and screwing the bulb while the active was turning it on and then left the room for a second time. This gave the pledge a chance to take the bulb from the socket and hide it. Now the active is planning several means of getting even with the

It seems that another co-ed was several weeks behind in her chemistry experiments, and as a result received a cake which she later presented the next day she returned with a cake which she had baked, and presented it to the instructor. He accepted the cake with much gratitude, but reports that the co-ed's grade still will be incom-
Whether it was the weather or something else we don't know, but Friday morning they were down the walk, their arms around each other. They seemed to have no concern about what others thought, and when they time they were getting along fine.
The co-ed who was seen running around in slacks, smoking a cigarette several weeks ago has been forced to change her habits because of the new safety campaign. She was wearing a knee dress and a fur coat (She was still fine dress and a fur coat)

According to the Kauan last Friday Kamasu "Spirits" were high for the game, but we thought that all the spirits here came from Missouri, or Kentucky.
Since the K men stopped their paddling because of campus opinion, there has been little wearing of freshman uniforms and eight caps (on different beads).
Canuteson to Attend Clinic
One good thing the cold has done is that it has cleared the campus of dogs. On these colder mornings the pack of hounds, at times as large as 15, has dwindled to two or three. (Most of them are adults on cold mornings.) We wonder if they grew tired of classes or just didn't want to take their mid-term exams.

On Pairs of Pants
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1935
The manless brawl slated for this Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom is causing no little concreteness among the men. They have little ability to locate appropriate clothes for the occasion. In other words, they have learned that trying a figure that takes gracefully to be handled can be difficult or a wide-shouldered cost are no easy task, and one that even in its mildest stages is likely to prove disconcertant.
Wayne Wright's band will play for the festivities. Rachel Knoe, c37, is a bassist; Melissa Becker, c38, c41, c42, has charge of the program and Betty Hanson, c26, is publicity and ticket chairman. Tickets may be obtained at the office in Robinson gymnasium, or at the office Friday night. Prices are 75 cents for dates and 50 cents for other dates.
However, if they don't give up hopes before Friday night, they will have a chance to win. They look for once for once. If they are clever, they will get dated up as soon as possible, for the few women who will be missed by Friday night so to act at a premium.

Husband Explains Japanese Customs In Vivid Lecture
World Traveler Illustrates
Talk With Colored Films
Before Crowd of
900 People
Wilfrid L. Husband, world traveler and lecturer, vividly described life in Japan in his book "Today in Japan," given last night in the University Auditorium before a crowd of 900 listeners. The entire lecture was accompanied by a group of Japanese people, their habits and colors, exquisitely done in colors.
The lectures; and his wife were introduced in a novel manner. Following an introduction by Dr. W. L. Burger, Mr. Husband emerged with complete darkness, and Mrs. and Mrs. Husband emerged from either side of the stage carrying Japanese lanterns. Dressed in Japanese costumes, the two engaged in a short introductory discussion of Japanese art and a meeting of a Japanese couple at one of the colorful festivals of the country. Following the introduction, Mr. Husband opened his lecture by tracing the history of Japanese tribes were conquered by the fierce Mongols. He said that the Japanese are almost as much a mixture of oriental strains as we are of the European.
He referred to the "paradoxical character of the Japan." "They are the most charming, polite and beauti-loving of all people; they are both sentimental and realistic; they are sensitive, yet stetical; exertable and humorous, happy and humorous, but also dramatic to dramatic suicide," he said.
Under the stolical, calm appearance of the Japanese is often concealed a fierce, Tartar-like disposition, he declared.
In spite of Western influences, a young Japanese man seldom appears in the movies and is romantically interested in, and even today marriages are arranged by parents, for the most part, with the young husband. In the case before the ceremony is performed, Mr. Husband explained. He met a humbled and wife seldom appear together in the movies.
Although the Western influence is seen in the clothes worn by many of our friends, men now always change to their more comfortable native style of dress, accentuating a light silhouette.
Women's Hair Dress Elaborate An ancient custom which continues to prevail is the elaborate style of the women's hair dress.
Sports, Mr. Hubbard said, play a large part in the active life of the modern Japanese. In fact, he credited a system of mass calisthenics with increasing the small stature of the pre-capital half inch within the last decade.
Out of the kaleidoscopic panorama of Japanese life there comes a conviction, a way to foster peace with the Japanese is to get better acquainted with them. “Armaments offer no permanent insecurities,” said Mr. United States, Mr. husband declared. “Since our total investments in China and Manchukuo are less than one-third of Great Britain’s enforcing power, we don’t need his hand and chief concern rather than ours.”
That the Japanese know us better than we know them was indicated early in the lecture, when Mr. Husband said that he would become Westernized and Americanized.
"Along Tokyo's main thoroughfare, the Gianna, a blaze of neon lights from modernistic stores and theaters dima the soft glow of paper lantern hung in front of shops," he said. "American girls were drawn to darted cars, and a ceaseless wave of bicycles dominates the vanishing 'riksha.' Almost everywhere you go, English is spoken. The Japanese visitors in our country, on the other hand, fail to find Japanese spoken here. Moreover, he is apt to find himself mistaken
To make Nippon, as Japan is referred to by the natives of the country, and her people as vivid as possible, Mr. Husband supplemented his interpres- tation with photographs still pictures, distinguished by their sharpness and life-like coloring.
