on the SHIN
Furthermore he stated both personally and in his sick publication that there was a current belief on the Hill that "When Holloway runs out of dirt, he comes running to Blowers. rumor, if it were not so, no problem, as explained by the fact that "Put my name in all you want to" Blowers said it himself—well, he would. We wouldn't possibly run to him for our news of all people because it would be either Delt or Chi Omega in the first place, and in the second place, with whom he is supposed to be the name he calls it implies—something suitable for the Owl but not for this.
A little competitive fun is called for and necessary in a game of this kind but when Blowers not only asks us to write him up but also to just kind of mention the fact that the Owl will be on sale in a few days and then bites us in the back and tries to start rushes that aren't true beyond the point that he gets pretty damned nasty. It's needless to say that neither the magazine nor its editor will get any further mention in this column—no matter how much he asks for it.
BY JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
here's a Thought for Owlie . . . . . . . . . . Honest, the Ribs are All There . . . . . . . Beg Pardon . . The Beta's Have a New One.
Some time ago we announced that we had quite a list of those who could take it and those who couldn't. We meant that and the list is growing—in fact it's getting big enough that it might be published pretty soon. At the present time, in fact because of the most recent Sour Owl which seemed pretty much to be called for and not able to come, we're considering letting friend Blowers head the list of those who may take it but don't know what to do with it. We can't really remember the number of times the following has happened so we'll just let it go at any number, just so it's pretty large.
Anyway, just any number of times Eldroom Blowers has let us know—just by telling us point-blank—that he likes to see his name in this column. Then after yesterday's little bit he made unfortunate mention of the fact that we are running our column by putting his name in too many times (wouldn't once do that perhaps). Then, to do a little condescending and get off of his lofty perch, he stated that if he had to walk around his Owl contributions, he'd be glad to help us write our column. Who in hell ever asked him to help us we don't have the slightest idea
John Staddler proved a couple of days ago that he was a man's a man as well as a Beta when he refused to enter Wearer's store with Laura Jane Lattner.
We hear the tale of the prof, who was making the ideals of some of his students to tipple by getting scientifically truthful and telling his boys and girls that the old story about every man having 11 ribs on one side and 12 on the other because Eve was made from one of them was all wrong and that there were really 12 on each side. What did one of the dopes do but go up to the instructor after class and ask him if that were really true!
One of our professors was asking the class the other day what assignment he'd made a few days previously. He made several stakes at it but failed each time. Finally one student rescued him from his dilemma and said, "You didn't tell us anything." Said the prof, "You didn't mean that for a dirty court did you?"
We wish to beg your pardon for a little error made the other day in our rescue from the Kaw story. We've since been informed that Swedere Everly did not rescue the lad from the bank and her bank looking for a stall and the other canoes rescued the swimmers—or would you call them drowners in this case?
We heard that Tom Ryan's senior relief was very fine Tuesday and that the D.U.N. and Joe Dunkel attended in a body. Can't you just imagine Joe Dunkel attending anything in a body?
Have you heard the Beta's latest? No—well one of them comes up to another and very coyly remarks, "You said it." The other comes back at him real fast-like with "Said what?" with number two. "You said it right!" Then everyone who hears it is supposed to bust out laughing and everybody just has the most fun. Emma

Traveler to Show Motion Pictures Of Russian People
Lecturer Has Spent Many Months in Past Five Years Traveling in U.S.S.R.
Julien Bryan, author, traveler, and lecturer, will show his new motion pictures of Soviet Russia and Siberia tonight at 8:20 in the Auditorium. Activity tickets and season tickets will be mined this week. Students will participate in the community lecture course. General admission for others will be 25 cents or reserved seats for 40 cents.
Every year for five consecutive years, Mr. Bryan has spent many months traveling the Soviet Union. He knows how the Russian people feel about communism, how they eat, work, dress, and play. His motion pictures are not superficial travelogues but record of a single people. They reflect an understanding of human nature and a grasp of the facts behind world change that is a Bryan characteristic.
He is just off the boat from a fourmonth trip to the Soviet Union with an amazing new record of what is happening all over that vast country under the second five-year plan. Leaving Russia proper after two months of photographing in and around Moscow, Leningrad, ancient Novgorod, and along the Volga, he went first to Karelia to see "4000 White Sea-Chukha" Canaad and then 4000 North Siberia. He then took an arduous trip over the stepspe and through the swamps to the northern reindeer country of the primitive Tuturi Tungus.
His new pictures show the people at work all over the Soviet Union, their homes, hospitals, baby clinics, marriage and divorce courts, actual trials in the people's courts; Ambassador Bulliitt and the Embassy, Carrist prisons in Siberia, Soviet aviation, Soviet surgery, the new experimental theaters where the new mingle with the auditorium, drop down offices, and other interesting subjects photographed with that insight into human nature that makes Bryan pictures inapparable.
Mr. Bryan will be introduced by J. F. Brown, assistant professor of psychology, who has spent two summers traveling in Russia.
Husing to Pick Relay Queen
'amous Announcer Expresses En-
huasionum, Oser Gleim's Victory
Ted Husing of the Columbia Broadcasting System fame, has accepted the oation as judge of the Kansas Relays Juen contest.
In his letter of acceptance, which was written Saturday, March 16, he said: "I have just left Madison Square Garden where Glenn just snapped the 13-year-old 1000-yard world record. He seems never to stop. And that's been a lucky break of mine ever since he tripped a 411.1 mile列队 at the 1823 NCAA track and field meet. So--I'm in the mood to accept the position of judge in the Kansas Relays Queen contest.
"You may either send the applicants or their 'foots' here to me in New York, and I shall be delighted to pass on your pulchritudin. In fact I relish the job."
It is rumored that Mr. Husing was interested in Cunningham's race for financial reasons, which would explain his enthusiasm and interest in the race. Every race of Cunningham that that Husing broadcast has been won by Wonche

New Kansas Engineer Out
An interesting article on the "Progress Witnessed by Kansas Engineer" by Dean George C. Shaad appears in this issue. Other features are articles on "Russia's Need of Technicians" by George Wright, T28, and "The Pressional World Journal" by Curtis C. 35. A column titled "Under the Skin" also discusses this issue; it is more or less a parody on the Kansan's column "On the Shin."
The School of Engineering and Architecture issued today the March number of "the Kansas Engineer." This issue commemorates the twentieth anniversary of this publication, having first appeared on this campus in the spring

Three Champions Matched to Run Outdoor 1000- Yard Race
Glenn to Meet Eastman And Chuck at Princetor
Glenn Cunningham, Chuck Hornbostel and Ben Eastman will be matched in an outdoor 1,000-yard race at Princeton in June. This match was made secretly and the information unintentionally got out ahead of time. This should be an even greater race than the race last Saturday night between Cunningham and Hornbostel at Madison Square Garden, in which Glenn Cunningham a new indoor record of 219th to capitalize on the shift of the athletic spotlight from the mile to the 1,000 by pitting the pair against Eastman, the world's record holder of the outdoor half mile, in their spring invitation meet.
About the only hitch is the fact that they have invited Jack Lovekigh of New Zealand to run against Cunningham in the mile. So the actual completion of the 1,000-yard may depend somewhat upon Lovekigh's acceptance of the invitation, unless Cunningham would decide to run both races.
Cunningham has run ten races, winning all of them, this season. He is scheduled for two races this week, the Texas, Kansas, and Drake relays, the Princess Invitiation in Iloilo in dugouts and the A.A.U. Championships at Lincoln, Neb.
"I'm sorry the season ended without his getting a crack at Nurmi's two-mile record of 8.5.2," said Coach Hargis after Glenmoran's Saturday night victory. "Why this record is a cinch for Glem. Everybody wanted him to run the mile. I believe Glem can run a 430 km. stick a 250 km. stick a 140 km. stick a 8:55 km. would be just a warm-up for him. I sure hope he gets a warm-up at two miles next season."
Hornbostel said after the race, "It was as fine a 1,000 as I could have run. I don't think I could have done anything to improve on it. Glenn had too much for me." Hornbostel came up beautifully to win the Casey 600 in 1127, making up 15 yards in the last 200 with his blazing sprint.
The time of the Sigma Xi meeting this evening has been changed from 7:30 to 7 o'clock according to E. Lee Trecee, Dr. Ralph H. Major of Kansas City will speak on "Hippeater and the Island of Cos."

A decline in the rainfall of recent years was the cause advanced for yesterday's dust storm by Prof. C. J. Posey of the department of geology. When questioned further, he declared that not only was he seen such a through dust storm.
"Permit me to tell you again what a real joy I got from your work last night. It is heartening to know that choral direction, such as yours, is to be found in this vicinity. It was beautiful from beginning to end and I am looking forward with real anticipation to our concert on the 28th."
The choir will sing two groups of numbers at the regular Philharmonic concert March 28. Tickets for this event have been sent to Bell's Music store where they may be purchased for $7.50, $1.00 and $1.50.

He had no opinion as to whether the tree belt, planned by the Roosevelt administration, would help prevent the top soil from being carried off from middle-western farm lands. However, increased precipitation would moisten the soil and keep it down. Several years of average rainfall would be required to make the moisture content of the soil normal again.
rock particles, spores, bacteria, pollen and all sorts of vegetable matter.
The dust often travels far—the last storm finally settling over Washington, D.C., and New York City. Some of it even finds its way out of the earth's surface to another planet. It is thought that some of the dust in the earth is the evolution of living matter driven off from another planet to settle on this one.
The dust may settle to the depth of 12 to 15 tons per square mile. It has been known to settle as much as 40 tons per square mile during a single storm. There are places in China where the wind deposition dust several hundred feet thick. One need not fear, however—it was a matter of centuries and centuries.

Mykland Reviews Three-Point Policy Of Men's Council
Group Decides to Donate Carnival Profits to Student Emergency Relief Fund
The Council voted unanimously to donate the carnival profits to the Student Emergency Relief Fund, of which Dean Werner is chairman.
A three-point program which has been carried out by the Men's Student Council throughout the past year was reviewed last evening at a meeting of the Council by Gumar Mylkand, president. Delmar Curry, c36, who was chairman of the Intramural Carnival arrangements committee, announced that a substantial profit was made from the carnival, but that the exact amount has not yet been determined.
The three-point program which the Council has successfully carried out this year, as reviewed by Mykland is as follows:
First, the Council has improved the relationship of the University with other schools. This is witnessed by the work of the Council in getting the National Student Federation to meet here next year.
Second, the Council has fostered school spirit and school consciousness in the students, as evidenced by the successful Night Shirt Parade and Hobo Day last fall and the Intramural Carnival this spring.
Third, the Council has improved the mechanism of student government by establishing a system of proportional representation.
Mykland named a fourth point that has not been carried through completely by the Council this year because of insufficient time, but which he believes, might well form a major part of the program for next year's council. It is in effect a program to investigate and determine student sentiment on matters pertaining to curricula.
There is now a movement on foot in the administration, which was suggested by members of the Council, to investigate the present group plan of the arrangement of courses and to determine a system of simplifying the grouping. The Council believes that this is the first step the students have taken toward a general co-operation regulation of student affairs. The establishment of definite co-operation in a positive manner with the faculty on all student matters is an essential which must be worked out, it asserted.
