on the SHIN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
We Hear From Mr. Perennial
Once More . . . Lawrence Will
Pron Dance . . . What, a Beta
Sorority? . . . More Hash.
There comes another letter from ye Perennial Freshman in which he states thus and so and to which we feel the need of answering thus and so. This way perennial old pal—we appreciate every bit of news etc. but we also feel the necessity of knowing which face your nom de plume hides behind —to wit, who'nell are you? It's easy for you to say that the mention of your name relieves us of blame but you don't go far enough with it, we don't even want to have to be relieved of blame by doing anything else." We trust that the last remark gets the fact over to you that if you want anything printed you'd better come around and get mudged. Now in reply to your remark about the spelling of the word night. We still insist that though now and then we spell "college" "collitch" that doesn't have anything to do with your spelling of night "nite." What we mean is Volume 52 of our set of "Rules for Writing On the Shin" has one paragraph which reads, "And there was a great rumbling like unto the London Times going to read the funny papers, and amidst flashes of light there spake a terrible voice saying The word night shall never be spelled "nite" because it ain't right that it should be; and anyway if you do spell it that way Prof. Dill will probably change it so just let it go dummy. Therefore, Perennial, the word night shall always be spelled that way as long as we write it and phooey on this argument anyway.
There comes to these hery earls the sad tale of how a fair but beguilting maiden wickered a poor felly into a date to the Junior Prom jazz dance, but how also it is our honest opinion that the lad is more than satisfied anyway. It appears that Dick "Royal" Wright of Phi and Gamma and Delta has a standing date with Anne Lettew of Alpha Chi for every Friday evening. She has been progressing as smoothly as one might up to the present time.
P. S. We meant that about your name.
The other day Annie barged into the Royal鞋 store where迪尼kary ravishes the ladies into charging shoes so he can to try can, and Dick was asked to produce evening slippers in large quantities for the fair one to try on. He asked what they were for and Annie repiled, "The Junior Prom." "Oh," responds Richard, "You're a date for it." "Even yea and verily," replies Annie, "it on Friday night and you're taking me!"
The following clipping was sent to us from the St. Joseph News-Press "The mothers of Kansas City members of the Beta Theta Pi sorority will give a luncheon tomorrow at the Kansas City Club." And so on in that way. We've all felt ourselves could ramble. We're glad that Beta Theta Pi has a male chapter at K.U. Perhaps it's part of their expansion program at M.U.
More Hash: Merrill Bradley is in the hospital with the meauses and a couple of days ago his gal was standing outside yelling up to him at the window. . . imagine the girl's surprise when Bradley, the Wichita car-wrecker, etc, yells back and says to be careful because it's against the rules. . . We hear that Prof. Smith of education isn't a bit basilish when he lectures, . . . he not only wrote the text he uses but he other day some of his students counted the number of times he used "I" and it was only 40. . . we come for education and receive ego. . . his students have built the "I" for years now we hear. Jack Atkins plays in one Sunday at the Country Club and the bays at the Delt House tell us his nose has elevated some 60 degrees since.

Orchestra Leader Chosen Judge for Jayhawker's Junior Beauty Cost

IT WAS A GOOD FIGHT EVEN FOR THE STUDIOUS
To begin with, it was a good fight; it took place in the wrong surroundings, or again perhaps it took place in the right ones, but anyway it was a good fight. No one knows just exactly how it started because the language is a little hard to understand. Perhaps a friendly student pulled the ear of one and neglected the other, or maybe the flies on the battlers backs put the brakes on too hard and the skidding tires made one of them think the other had made a pass at him. Anyway, they fought.
It's not unusual to see an enraged female flaunch from her seat at a library table and leave her equally enraged squire sitting by himself, nor is it unusual to see little love misses with all the love missing between a girl and her fellow while they lead up to the point of walking off from each other in fear, a question that they still feel a doggie in the library is unusual, and furthermore, that this one furnished some of the best entertainment they had seen in the building.
Kansas State Geologist
Raymond C. M. Moore, professor of zeology, will lead a field expedition of convention delegates through southern Utah to study rock formations of that section.
Dr. Moore Will Head Geology Trip in Kansas
State Society to Hold Annual Convention in Wichita
Raymond C. Moore, professor of geology and Kansas State geologist, will lead a field expedition, composed of delegates to the twentieth annual meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists to be held in Wichita March 21. The group will study the Permian and Pennsylvanian rocks of that part of the state.
The expedition has been heralded as one of especial interest to stratigraphers and paleontologists. Another feature of the convention is an expedition to an electrically lighted salt mine at Lyons, where observations of subterranean formations will be made. On each trip, many oil fields will be studied.
Dr. Moore will read a paper before petroleum geologists on "The Late Paleozoic Movements of the Earth's Crust." Several other faculty members and a large percentage of geology students from the University are expected to attend the conference. The expense of the field trips will be shared by all who make the trip. Other delegates not dedicated to the field trips will have to interest them in Wichita during the time that the trips are being made. Besides the divisional meetings, dances and a golf tournament are to be held with the convention.

Missouri Valley Quakes Don't Rate Highest' Score
In the vernacular of a geologist, those earthly tremors felt by Kansans last week are spoken of as an earthquake of number five caliber. Based upon the severity of damage done, quakes are classed from one to ten, with a number five quake being generally felt to the extent of moving furniture, shaking walls in buildings in the cupboard, yet without effecting any property damage.
On record for the Tennessee Valley is but one number ten quake, that being in 1811, having as its center Southeastern Missouri. It caused the formation of several lakes and changed the geological aspects of the region affected. Similarly the region at that time was unsettled and no property damage was done.
According to Prof. Raymond C Moore, state geologist, no quakes that will do any damage will ever affect this part of the country. This prediction is based upon the known geological past of the world.
In the Tennessee Valley 89 per cent of the earthquakes have their center in Southeastern Missouri. Several tremors have been felt in the Flint Hills of Kansas. These are undoubtedly caused, Professor Moore said, by the rocks of a buried mountain range running north and south through Kansas.
Most of the quakes felt in this region have had their center in southern Missouri or Oklahoma, several at Manhattan and one relatively severe at Tepka in 1875, which affected all of northeastern Kansas.

Work of Native Kansan Is on Display at Museum
Mattern Lectures on Poor
Mr. Karl Matterm of the School of Fine Arts gave a lecture on the exhibition of the works of Henry Varnum Poor at Spooner-Thayer Museum Tuesday evening. This was one in the series being spotted at the Museum and an artist pad deserves it.
Mr Poor is a native Kanan who has studied with Walter Wicker in London and at the Julian Academy in Paris. His sketches are often sketched in addition to his oil paintings.
"One should not judge the work on Mr. Poor by his drawings alone," said Mr. Matter, "for they are on the whole page." Poor commented on the free style and splendid color harmony of Mr. Poor. Some of the paintings, particularly "Summer Sea," were done in an unusual combination of neutralized colors. Mr. Poor's work will be exhibited in the Museum the remainder of the
