A Successful Carnival and please,
No More Chariots . . . Found,
a Man Who's Tired of the Pi Phi's
. . . Donahue Falls in . . . a
Letter.
Well, 'twas quite a carnival Friday night, indeed quite a carnival and from now on we carry a gat for exclusive use on the first guy who says scooter or Mykland where we can hear it. Mike had not only practiced for the race, but he was a dirty Swede on the turns, the big bull! We had a little of our stuff thrown right back in the old pus at the carnival but unlike Owlie Blowers, we refuse to thank anyone for it because it was good advertising. After all, a good clean newsheet can't be like the Sour Owl anyway. We can't help feeling happy because we know Lyman had nothing to do with the way the Beta girls put the "Bee" on us. Please don't misunderstand, we haven't been told that Lyman had nothing to do with it, we can just feel it—you know, because he's never been mentioned in here she shakes her head, and she cheers! The whole thing went off swell which hands quite a laurel to Ed Elbel and the others who had charge of it.
We had a little communication the other day in which the writer stated that he was damned tired of hearing about Bett Lou, child care classes, and the Pi Phi's in general, but we feel sure he'd like to know that a couple of the better galas got together at the library the other day trying to find a volume entitled "Teachings in Chastity." Better late than never.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 1935
Friend Virgil Bergman came through with a finer a couple of days ago up at Fraser theater. George Gurensey, the stage hand extraordinary for the comedy was lounging around on it and Vyr yelled across the stage. "George Gurensey" would over here for a minute and give me some of your unskilled labor?"
Heard a good one on Jim the Wonderful Artist, Ravisher of ladies, and just General Noise about the Campus Donahue. He's doing some of the art work for the comedy and the other day he'd just completed his biggest job and fell off the ladder right through it. We wonder if it was the beer or the colors that caused those spots before his eyes.
Says J. I. "Omair" Pool—"I've always been the kind of fellow my mother said for me not to run around with."
Believe it or Don't—Some day our children will come to school here and there won't be any of those boys in class who wrote the book and have to act like it during the entire class period.
We hear of a cheering section at the law school. Dr. Burdick said, "Well, gentleman what do you say about this?" He waves his arms like our hands and asks the class responds. Uaually the answer is either "Hell yes!" or "Hell no."

A letter: Dear Josef! After diligently studying the Sour Owl for several weeks now, I have come to the conclusion that someone made a mistake in it and I want to tell you about it so I might go on to others who might be interested.
Here it is: "She was only a watch-maker's daughter, but she had her moments."
I believe the last word was meant to be "movements."

A Union fountain sleet reports that Jack DeMott and Flossie Lee Kehl have been unsweeping the tops of the tops and pepper shakers. Boys will be boys you know, and girls will be girls, and a combination of the two can often raise hell in any number of little kiddy ways.

Mass Meeting to Be Held Tomorrow Afternoon to Announce New Candidates
With the deadline set for 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, only seven petitions have been turned into the Dean of Women's office for the W.S.G.A. election so far.

Charles Scott to Give Eighth L.I.D. Lecture
Editor of Iola Register to Present Conservative Viewpoint
Before the LLD, series began the committee in charge had decided to ask Mr. Scott, Mr. Morrow, who spoke last week, and others, to give additional lectures. When the series had commenced the Iola Register printed an editorial which quoted from the "Red Network" in criticising the speakers, and stated that such men should not be allowed to speak before the youth of the State University.
Charles F. Scott, editor of the Iola Register, who denounced editorially some of the first six speakers on the League for Industrial Democracy lecture course, will present the conservative point of view as an answer to the originally scheduled speakers at 8:15 Wednesday evening at the Uitian church. This is the eighth talk of the series.
Mr. Scott consented to speak on reading briefs of the other talks. He was graduated from the University in 1881 and received his M.S. here in 1888. In 1910 he was given an LL.D. degree by Kanaas State College. He was a member of Congress from 1901 to 1911, and was in charge of national publicity for the Republican party in the election of 1932.
Mr. Scott was also member of the state senate for four years and is an ex-creant of the University. In 1917 he was president of the College of Emporia. He has owned the Iola Register since 1887.

NDIAN SUMMER MAY PASS .
GREECE LEADS AS BRAWL CENTER .
SIMON TRAVELS ABOUT .
SCHWMIMER AGAIN
H. G. Wells warns us, "The world is passing through an Indian summer that is not to be trusted."
News of the past week has been like our weather, variable and uncertain with squalls and brawls. Italy announces signing an agreement with Abyssinia. Most variable and squally, however, has been news regarding Sir John Simon's trip to central European capitals on London Pact affairs. Greece gives us a brawl in interior in mid-April and attacks at combat in the Angolan and in Thrace, Macedonia, and Saloniki, and with chances of other countries being drawn in.
It is difficult still to properly appraise the effects of the presentation to Parliament of Britain's White Paper on defense needs, owing to German rearmments, announcing vastly increased estimates for air, navy, and army forces. An immediate repercussion was the calling off of the Simon-Hitter conference at Berlin, Thursday, expected to be so important for the London Part's completion. Hitler had a diplomatic "coalition." Wilhelmstrasse in England could have known Berlin could not be approached in such manner. It was also frankly admitted Berlin's case must be reconstructed to take account of the new situation.
The British cabinet met to discuss the abandoning of the Simon trip which was to have been extended to Prague, Warsaw, and Moscow, or rather sending assistant foreign secretary Eden instead, Sir John remaining perhaps to confer with a confidential agent rumor says Hitler is sending to London made madly known by Sir Antoine Eden would do as well for her purpose as Simon himself, indicating extreme Russian anxiety for that part of the pacts dealing with her western border neighbors. Will the British returning from Warsaw and Moscow stop also

Man Presents Theory
On Airship Crashes
An elderly man, dressed in overall which were covered with medals, pins and other ornaments, who aspires to this year's Nobel prize in Physics, came t t o publicize his theory about what make dirigibles crash.
Corrinell F. Fein of Halsted, Kansas, who for 33 years has been an air brake machinist in the Santa Fe shops at Newton, has made the study of physics his hobby. Yesterday he told the Kanass that the reason the Macon crashed and the reason for the crash of most of the 11 dirigibles in the past two decades is simply that when a huge body such as a dirigible travels through dry air at a great speed it collects and stores a great amount of energy in electricity-laden dirigible strikes a cloud or damp air the charge is grounded and an explosion ensues which destroys the ship. Mr. Fein says that if the dirigible could have a constant ground as does a gasoline truck with its chain, there would be fewer disasters in the air.
Fein will send this article from the Kansas to the Nobel Prize board in Oslo, Sweden, hoping that it may help to convince the board of the value of his the-
