University Freshman Coach and Pupil of Dr. Allen Will Take Up Duties in Fall
Cox was selected from a field of five candidates and was appointed by the recommendations of the board of regents late Friday night. His contract is for one year.

He won the University's Big Six athletic award in 1931.
Cox graduated from the Newton high school in 1927, and was placed on the all-American interscholastic five at Chicago that same year.
Since 1932 he has been freshman basketball coach and assistant to Dr. Allen in basketball, Mr. and Mrs. Cox will not move to Boulder until this summer.

Here comes a tale of controversies between a Pi Phi and a Theta—such a combination should prove to be pretty interesting. The Pi Phi and her squire were sitting in a booth at the Blue Mill one eve when in walked Dorothy Fry and Stevie Stotts. Since Stevie was a brother of the Pi Phi lasses date, thereby making him a Beta, Dorothy and Steve sat down to revel in a nickname of woke with the other two. Said the Pi Phi's date, "Have you skirts met?" and the answer was "Yerse." A few minutes later the Pi Phi decided that she had heard of another girl named Fry, in fact Dorothy Fry at the Theta, said She, "Are you a woman or a Theta?" Says Dorothy Fry who is I know who she is. When I first came to school I was told she was a very bad influence to say the least, and that I should stay away from her." Thus the conversation made great progress until Stevie decided that he couldn't stand any more so they left and the little story ends. 'Tis in very truth a walking, seeing, breathing, and naturally living example of the average sorority brain trust on our fair campus.

Discussions Begin Tuesday
Series Designed to Familiarize Students With Political and Military Conditions
The first of a series of all-University roundtable discussions designed to familiarize the student with world political and military conditions will be held Tuesday evening, March 19, at 8 o'clock in the men's lounge in the Meadow building. The topic of the first discussion will be "Is War In inevitable?"
A panel of men representing various opinions of government and militarism has been chosen to make up the round-table. They are: Prof. Olin Templain, chairman; Lt.-Col. W. C Koenig; Rev. T H Asman of the Lawrence Presbyterian church of Boston; Prof. W. de la Lawrencie post of the American Legion; Prof. W. E. Sandelius; Robert McKim, P35; and Lyman Field. c. 36.
The discussion will be conducted in an informal and impartial manner. The audience will have the opportunity to engage and to participate in the discussion.
The movement is sponsored by the University Peace Action committee. The group in charge of arrangements is Crichton Milner, chairman, Margaret Jennings, c. 37, Guy Omer, Nelson Fuson, and Dale O'Brien.
It is believed that in the viewing of war problems in this way, students will be afforded the most accurate insight into the causes of war.

"Scrapping" and "sscrapy" rather
fit this people's* "World, News."
The latest little scrap was the foiled attack of assassins upon Ibm-Saud king of Saudi Arabia. Its melodramatic features were heightened by the attempt being made in the Moslem holy of holies at the Kaaba in Mecca, and that Ibm Saud has played a most colorful role in the destruction of Arabic empire upon the basis of his earlier mastery of the Bedouins (He, too, has a body-guard).
The chronic troubles of Cuba, aggravated by a university strike, have flared into the expected revolt against President Mendieta, who countered with a dictatorship, enforced bloody by the masterful sergeant-colonel Bastista. Perhaps some will recall the initiation of the Mendieta regime as a "New Deal" experiment, upon the advice of a State Department expert, and with the backing of Washington even to the extent of revoking the old "Platt Amendment." Is Cuban chaos (as an American World problem) after a century of our concern therewith, nearer a settlement?
clear choices
Greek historians turn true to form.
Another short bloody uprisers is over—except for the vengeful reprisals, the costs which equal a three year national budget, and embittered national feelings (if faction—what can be bitterer than since the "successful" handling of last fall's presidential election by the Zaimis party). Now the Venezuelans have lost more than an election. The old leader—creator of the Greek Republic and most useful for the Allies in the Great War, and at Versailles has found a refuge in Italian Rhodes.

MILE RUN GOES TO KANSAN 60 MINUTES LATER
For Eighteenth Time, Pennsylvania Track Star Trails Elkhart Express Over Finish Line
NEW MARK IS 2:10J
Close Races and Iron-Man Performance Give Garden Crowd Thrill
New York, March 16—In a final burst of lightning speed, Glenn Cunningham shot ahead of Chuck Hornbostel of Indiana to annex the 1000-year world title to his glittering record in 2.10.1. An hour later, the Elkhart Flyer returned to the boards of the Knights of Columbus games at Madison Square Garden to defeat Gene Venzek, Pennsylvania, in the Columbian Mile. The time of 4:14.4 was considerably under the world mark of 4:08.4 set by Cunningham in the same event last year.
Breaks 13-Year-Old Record
The record-shattering performance displaced the glorious 13-year-old claim of Hal Cullibill of 2.12. This makes the third world crown for the Kansas flash, who holds both indoor and outdoor mile records as well.
Glenn Beats Venzke 1 Yard
Cunningham and Hornbostel broke away from the field to duel between themselves. The Indiana star set a furious pace all the way but Glenn put on a spurt in the stretch to by three yards. Glenn Dawson, O.Claimae are now blazing the colors of the Tulsa Skelly Club, holder of the national 1000-meter record, was third. In the classic, Cunningham paced a half-mile within three seconds of the world mark for that distance.
In that mile, Cunningham met a strong field headed by Gene Venzek, his traditional rival, and including Glen Dawson, Harry Williams of North Carolina, and Joe Mangan of New York University. Venzek, favorite to win the mile over Cunningham because of the latter's previous grind with Hornbostel, took the first position after the first lap, setting the style until the last minute when he ended with Cunningham the winner by a yard. Williamson, southern champion, led the rest of the group lagging fully 40 yards back.
It was the nineteenth encounter for the Jahaywah express against the Pennyvarian, eighteen of which have been won by the Kansan. Venzke's win in the 1500 meters in 1933 is his only existing claim over Cunningham.
Both Glenn and Hornbostel have previously bettered the recognized world record for the 1000-yards, but neither had ever been officially clocked for recognition. Glenn ran the distance in 2:11.1 last year in the Oklahoma Invitation meet. He has done 2:12.2 on a small Canadian track.
PSGL to Enter Candidates
Purely a Means to an End, Says Charles Anderson
The PSG has decided to enter a state of candidates in the coming election, Charles Anderson, 73, chairman of the Leauce, announced last night.
"The body of men now controlling the Men's Student Council have made the reforms advocated by the Progressive Student Government League necessary," Anderson said. "They are obviously not the ones to carry through these reforms. Accordingly, the candidates try to pitier a slur of candidates purely as a means to an end; not to elect certain vote getters to office in the old machine method, but to comprise a men's student council which will put through the entire program of the PSGL. Within the next week, the League is going to take definite steps, according to Anderson, to contact a large number of men students and get their feedback, who should carry out the PSGL program. They also intend to let the general student body aid in completing the program, Anderson said.
