on the SHIN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
A Letter But no Griping—How
Come? ... How About a Little
 boycotting ... Our Mechanical
 School ... James Gets Left.
Well, here comes a little letter received Friday morning—quecer but it doesn't gripe about a thing. How's this Joe?
Did a certain little J.G. (Jessie Gabbert to be exact) ever embarrass Malcolm Stuart in his 1:30 economics class—however all agree that the deep shade of pink was very becoming to him.
Miss Gabbert had asked Stuart a question and in doing so had mispronounced a certain word. As Stuart answered the question, fused, and asked Miss Gabbert to repeat the question. After repeating her question Stuart corrected her and said "Oh, I see, I was misread!" The fail was over and the question was no longer were misled all of the time."
Wham!- and Malcolm is engaged.
This is really too good to keep back
Joe-- give us a break, we'll all be looking
for it in On the Shin.
Wham!and Malcolm is engaged.
Well, thanks for the letter people—you've no idea how those things help on a dreary Saturday morning.
Thought maybe we should get or the Dickinson just a bit for being a little too risque around us collegiate You know, the atmosphere should be lively and fun in school so the little inebriates won't get any ideas in their little noggins—anyway we were hurt and shocked to see in connection with the current Ditrich show the sign "Sizzling, seductive, sensual, sex." Oh for goodness.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
If there are any who will stick with us we might do a little boyfriending of the Union fountain and get some kind of result. Friday the management gave each of the Pi Pi'his who came in ten years ago his own case, they'd given them the place all this year. Seems only fair that they should pay for publicity too and then the lawyers should get something too—they've done more arguing down there over their cokes than anyone else, even the boys who haven't done as well as the lawyers.
This school is either perfectly mechanized or else its haunted—well, we're sure that it's haunted because you can look everywhere on the campus and see plenty of spooks but it still seems to be mechanized. The why and wherefore is just this—Friday morning when we noticed all heads turned, supposedly to watch someone opening a window. Thought there couldn't be anything very unusual in that but we looked too—and the damned thing had started from the very bottom and gone clear to the top by itself. Someone pulled it back down and up it went further and more so. We can push for our professors to stop talking when the whistle blows everything will be fixed perfectly.
See that the Fhi Phi Pa's held a little continuance of their high school activities, dating since eighteen hundred something, but they failed to let one of the Sigma Chi boys know the exact date. It seems that the annual peanut rain occurred when the rain was a little too hard so they held it over till Thursday. Bill James wanted to see the classic and didn't know it had been cancelled because of the water, so Wednesday afternoon he got up early and waited in the rain waiting for the race—and they had it as usual on Thursday. Ho hum lackaday, and the irony of it all.
Bridge: Kicks: Divorce
Salem, Mass, May 18—(UPI)—Lotis C. Barry, 60, of Lymn was granted a divorce recently from William J. Barry, 40, claiming that she often "took on the shins" when her husband resorted to alcohol and used the table to criticize her skill at bridge.

Audubon Society Claims Impossible For Eagle to Carry Off Children
New York, May 18—(UP)“So the eagle picked the boy up and flew off with him and he never was seen again. .”
It's a good story, so good that it has been told time久时, in spite of the fact that it is a physical impossibility, Warren F. Eaton of the National Association of Audubon Societies explained today.
Tests have shown, Eaton said, that an eagle is unable to lift and fly with more than its own weight. Moreover, eagles can climb trees if they are on ten or ten pounds. Therefore, he asserted it is evident that tales of eagles making off with children must be fabrications childish could carry. There was no necessity for entering into a discussion of

Lindsay. Russel Worman, president of Mu Alpha, announces that he will be Luther Leavengood, Dean of music at Ottawa University; Donald Coates, organist and choir master of Grace Catholic in Topeka; and C. S. Skilton, professor of organ in the University School of Fine
Each fraternity will be required to sing two of its fraternity songs and the Alma Mater to qualify in the contest. It is expected that several of the fraternities will introduce arrangements of the songs which have not been used by previous members. Professional musicians have been at work on the arrangements for this contest.
The auditorium will be decorated with palms and the stage will have a background of flags. It is planned to have the large United States flag border of the background surrounded with the flags of all the Hill fraternities.
The plaque will be presented to the winner by Russell Wormel as soon as the judges reach their decision. The winners of the first three places in the contest will be given a chance to sing songs over WREN sometime before school is out. The fraternities entered in the songfest and the sizes of the respective groups are as follows Alpha Tau Omega, 35; Beta Theta Pi, 40; Delta Tau Delta, 35; Kapua Signa, 40; Delta Tau Delta, 35; Kapua Signa, 40; Delta Tau Delta, 35; Kapua Signa, 40; Sigma Chi, 61; Sigma Nu, 9; Sigma Chi Epsilon, 30; and Sigma Epilion Alpha, 30.

ging at a child it could no more lift than it could a horse, when it might be far more profitably engaged going after a two-noun fish.
"As probably befits a bird bately enough to be our national emblem," Eaton said, "the eagle has been credited with doing things actually far better than we could do," since its story of its carrying of children has its root far back in mythology and folk tales. The adventure of Sinbad the Sailor and the roc is a familiar exam- one that can be easily memorized. Only recently the makings of such a story came out of Tennessee, in an account of how a youngster was attacked by an eagle, and saved from it only by the help of a brother. Investigation showed that what actually happened was that the boys found the eagle, which had a broken wing, and tried to capture it. Naturally, they got clawed when they closed in on the eagle, and corroded in the angle of a fence."
(whether an eagle would if it could, it becomes obvious that an eagle, looking for food, would not waste its time tug-

Crash of World's Largest Air Liner Kills Forty-eight
Russian Government Lays Blame for Tragedy on Pursuit Plane Pilot
Moscow, May 18 – (UP) - The Maxim Gorki, world's largest airplane, plunged to destruction today brings death to 48 persons when it was hit in midair by a missile.
The air liner disintegrated high above the ground and its wreckage was scattered over a 2000-foot radius.

Among the victims were eight women and six children, members of the famine, who were on a flying holiday as a reward for faithful service. Eleven of the dead
The accident, according to the government, was the direct fault of the pilot of the pursuit plane who had been instructed specifically not to perform any stunts near the big liner. In defiance of these instructions, it was waved out of the way and loop in and coming out of it, crashed into the wing of the liner.
The government plans a state funeral for the victims and will award death payments of 10,000 rubles to the surviving relatives.
The plane had a capacity for 75 passengers. It was powered by eight motors and its equipment included a power system that allowed the picture theatre equipped for sound.
