on the SHIN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
They Probably Spell it MASQUE
Though . . . Our Summerfielder
Is Sholander . . . At the Union
. . . and What's Left.
Here's a little something we think worthy of some comment of this sort and that, so we thought it should merit first place. It seems that about the twenty-second of this month or thereabouts, the Sigma Chi's are having their annual Mask party where the boys and girls wear masks, Mickey Mouse costumes, or something just as bad, and frolic hither and yon having much good times. (We wonder if Bulb McElfresh will go as the Kansas Electric Power Company to freshen the fresh air inviting the to his giga, think the invitations were Burr, Patterson's Z008243). The invites were in large envelopes on the outside of which were an enormous crest and the words, "Here Is the Invitation You Have Been Waiting For!!!" Zounds Horatio, so conceit!
Had an ideal topple yesterday when someone told us they saw Miss Lear at the Granada completely equipped with popcorn and a happy smile. We thought she had to work in the office until five.
A little sleuthing tells us that Marlow Sholander is the Summerfender who is haunting the night club in the City, and here's another on him. It seems that he has the "bargain" habit which makes him pick things up at a good price now and then so he can wonder what possible use he'll have for them. The other day during Rowland's book sale, he came home carrying Preckley Pencils and every other kind that he can't find any use for. Prexy Mykland hopes to sell him the auditorium or Brooklyn bridge sometime soon.
Something we can't believe—saw Josie (225 lbs. of bone and muscle) Antonello and another attorney fighting over which one would pay the check in the Union. Didn't know college could be like that.
Every day there is a conference at the Union which causes no little interest to those observing. The conferences are Bill Hargiss, Mike Getto, and Ad Lindsey. If they always concentrate on what they shouldn't have any more problems and the NRA can give up and die an unnatural death.
A few minutes spent at the Union building will not quite a few items of interest. We hear that some fellow has been complaining of ground glass in his sandwiches. He probably thinks he's on the spot for some reason or other. Also some funny (?) fellow they think it might be Harry Lane or Willie Love—has been unscrewing the tops of pepper and salt shakers. Then when someone shows up, he mutates to a bit, it always results in the Union furnishing him a new bowl of soup. Damned clever these K. U. laddies!

What's Left? Students may come to Kansas for book learning only, but it's a cinnam at that while they're here they'll also learn how to wear a new spring suit in the morning, and dodge sleet all afternoon. . . wonder why some people come to school here from California and the Hawaiian Islands? . . . One of the boys at the Union fountain, Stan to be exact, says he intending to start a contract with the book exchange for all the books left in the fountain room. . . Had a little interview with Prexy Stew Chambers of Phi Sigma Theta on the guinea pigs he and asked if the hospital called him and asked if the boys would submit to the test so he yes and thought, "What can we lose?" "Twould seem to be an attitude of "We seen our duty and we done it." Hope something comes of it, those measles get pretty boring after a while.

Immortal Theater Characters To Be Revived By Actor
V. L. Granville Will Appear in Characterizations of Well Known Personalities
V. L. Granville, distinguished English actor, will present a program of "Dramatic Interudes" tonight at 8:20 in the University Auditorium. He will act the popular characters of drama such as Shakespeare's Falstaff; Menelaus; the hunchbacked Richard of Gloucester; Moliere's tragi-comic figure of the miser Harpagon; the immortal Mrs. Malaprop; Francois Villon, the fascinating poet of old France; Tolstoy's Fedya, from "The Living Corsape," and the weird, neurotic creepy Swengall with only a brief pause for description of characters. Activity tickets will admit.
Mr. Granville's program is elaborately costumed and staged. He brings his own, lighting equipment and costumes and has his own stage manager. It requires several hours to prepare the stage. He will arrive this morning to get it ready for the program.
Mr. Granville has given his "Dramatic Interludes" in Australia, India, Ireland and other countries. In America he has been well received in many cities and universities. He has given seven recitals for the University of Pennsylvania and at all of them people have been turned away because of lack of room.

Sleetball Family
Greeted Icily on Campus
Perambulation
Flipey and Tipsey Sleetball, more formally known to their neighbors as Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Sleetball, salded blissfully to the stratosphere above Lawrence, or maybe it wasn't that high; they stayed side by side with d妻-demeic-like.
"Looks about the same," said Papa as he twirled icily through the air; and Mama Sheetball agreed perfectly, or, as they say, iicly.
"But tell me where in air is that youngster, Speedball?" Papa asked. Mama said she didn't know, they had all gone so fast the last 3000 feet, and the wind wasn't trustworthy any "besides, what can be done with children in times like these, smart as they think they are nowadays?"
Paps flipped over twenty times, looking in all directions for that marvel-child of theirs. Speedball; but no results
So they did and here is where the sentimental part of the story comes in: the little dear was coyly tucked away in a corner of the cover, sweating his life out
"Let's go down on the roof of the library and look about for Speedball poor dear." Mama Sleetbull decided.
"Digusting little run," put in Mother Sheeball as the youngster huddled too close to the hot roof and expired in the form of a waterdrop.
Democracy Is Utopian,
Says Capper Assistant
"The fool," added father, "let's be of the building or the same thing will happen to us."
Morrow Declares Social Control With Liberty Is Problem
"We are faced with the problem of how much social control we can have without sacrificing liberty," declared Marco Morrow of Topeka in the seventh L.I.D. lecture last night. "But more important still is the question of how much liberty we can have without social control. We cannot go back; we must go home to our systems. I admit I do not know, but civilization will progress."
*Before we can act we must reach some agreement. There must be unanimous agreement.*
"The purpose of production is to allow us to live, but the purpose of business is to make profits. We must see to it that we do what we want and deprive our people of food and clothing."
The answer to the question, "Where Do We Go from Here?" the subject of the lecture, is "wherever we want to go," according to Mr. Morrow. In an analysis of the economic and political paths before the nation he described the marks of radicals, conservatives, reactionaries, and liberals.
"The reactionary believes in the good old days; the conservative is the self-appointed guardian of the Constitution; the liberal sees the lills of our system and believes they can be overcome without distraction of capitalism. The radical is a malcontent, a poor citizen, who desires to get to the root of the trouble."
In the open forum following the lecture Mr. Morrow said that the quickest way to Fascism was via a socialist route. "The only danger of revolution in America is the danger of counter-revolution," he said. "If a Thomas or a Sinclair were elected in 1936 the D.A.R. and the American Legion would rise against it. What I want America to do is to try democracy, although this may be Utopian," said the assistant publisher of the Capper Publications.
Band To Have New Music Racks
Forty new music racks are being made by the buildings and grounds department this week for the band. The racks, which are being made on a special design, are all wood. They will be completed in time for the band trip which will begin next Monday morning.

Dr. C. F. Taffney and his assistant, Dr. George A. Dodd, both of the State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis, conducted a chest clinic yesterday at Watkins Memorial hospital. A group of students were examined, and a survey was made of X-ray photos taken during examination of new students this year. The clinic was made possible through the sale of Christmas seals at the University.

Chest Clinic Held Yesterday
A joint meeting of A.S.M.E. and A.L.M.

Phillips Wins First Place in Freshman- Sophomore Contest
Champion Orator Speaks or American Culture; Robert Thorpe Takes Second
John Milton Phillips, c'37, won first place last night in the fourth annual freshman-sophomore oratorical contest held in the central administration auditorium. Lyman Field, c'36, was chairman of the meeting. Phillips won the contest over five other speakers, using as a subject "American Cultures."
Bob Thorpe won second place with a speech entitled "Change." Other speakers include Dale Sherman, C&7, Edward William Farmer, and William 3oker.
Phillips, speaking on culture, stated that we live by ideals and exist by realities, but both are essential to culture. Our American civilization has been accused by critics of producing no culture. Phillips listed as marks of American culture the industrial perfection of the country, love of high ideals, and the constant warfare against the evils of society. He said, however, that we have stopped there. We have not recorded our culture in works of art, because we cannot identify it in our cultural abilities. We must discard our inferiority complex as regards European culture and assume our own place in the world.
In his speech on "The Significance of Loyalty," William Farmer said that loyalty meant being with, not being for. We do not have the loyalty today that our forefathers had. Citing Washington, Lee, and John Brown as examples, Farmer stated that we need some great sacrifice in order to build piety. The progress of civilization will give rise to a loyalty greater than national loyalty.
In his speech on Kansas and Prohibition, William Coker declared that enlightened legislation backed by religious education will solve the liquor problem for Kansas. He further believed that the success of prohibition in Kansas will have a profound influence in reinstating it elsewhere.
"The prosecution of the Jews is spreading. Even the United States with its tradition of 'religious freedom' is in danger of discrimination," Edward Mickel, who was born in Germany, said. "The Jews have a status that Hitler unreasonably blames the Jews for the World War and the unfavorable treaty of Versailles.

Fisher Will Lecture Here
Student Council Votes to Add Economist to Activity Ticket
The Men's Student Council last night voted unanimously in favor of appropriating $250 to bring Irving Fisher, noted economist, here as an extra attraction on the student activity ticket. The council also discussed plans for bettering conditions at the Varsity dances. The variates have been unprofitable because the restrictions on stags have been inadequate, Gunnar Mykland, president, said. The council believes that if the price of admission for stages were put at a higher figure than the charge for couples the variases would be more successful. No definite measures were decided, however.
Sigma Tau to Build Insignia
Engineering Fraternity to Award $5
For First Design
Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, voted in a recent meeting to erect a replica of their insignia, the pyramid and rail section, on the campus. The fraternity decided that the would be placed near Marvin Hall.
A prize of $5 will be awarded the architectural student submitting the best design of the Sigma Tau pyramid and rail section. A metal pyramid and rail section, chromium plated, and placed in a masonry base is preferred by the group. However, other materials can be used, making it is too expensive to construct.
Faculty members of the architectural department and a committee of Sigma Tau were selected to judge the entries. March 10 at noon is the deadline for entries. For further information cell Riley Wooden, president of the society.
Rice Reviews Report on Weather
M. E. Rice, associate professor of physics, reviewed a Smithsonian report, "World Weather and Solar Activity," before the physics colloquium yesterday. The report is based upon measurements of differences in solar radiation on different portions of the earth, these measurements having been made in an ancient Chinese civilization, changes. Differences in solar radiation, Professor Rice said, are believed to cause barometric pressure changes, creating winds and other phenomena.

Jayhawkers Take First Norman Tilt By Score of 40-31
Ebling Secures Conference Scoring Lead Regardless of Outcome Tonight
Norman, Okla., March 6—(UP)
The same two teams meet again tonight in the curtain performance of Big Six basketball for the season. Iowa State won the title for the first time in its history by its Monday victory over Kansas State.
Norman, Okla. March 6- (UP)
— The Kansas Jayhawkers won their first of the final series against Oklahoma, 40 to 31, last night to claim undisputed second place in the final 1953 Big Six standings. Coach Forrest C. Allen's crew stepped out in the second half, breaking the 13-all deadlock that ended the first period.
Ray Ebling, stellar Kansas forward, definitely won the conference total-point scoring race by his contribution of seven baskets and eight free throws during the evening. Even though Ebling should go scoreless in tonight's tilt, his average for the season is already one-for-tenth of a point better than that of Wegner, Iowa State center.
The game was one of the most severe tests that the Allemen have met with on their strenuous road trip. The game was held up five minutes while Norman fans booed the referee. Four technical fouls were called against the Sooners, two each against Nelson, eminent and Eighteen personales were called on the teams, Wells, Gray and Browning making three catch.
Oklahoma used their full strength of ten men while Kansas used nine men.
