Dean Stockton Defines . . . Milo
Went to College . . . Found.
a friend to Man . . . The Knitting Goes On.
Heard a fine one the other day in narration and description. Some intellectual was writing a characterization of his grandmother and described her as having "a sweet face, gray hair, and glasses which she constantly misplaced." Imagine how peculiar the dear old lady must have felt every time she misplaced her face, gray hair, and elapsed.
You can tell Crosey Seymour's not in school—Bud Evans has a beard—a bit on the younger and uncultivated side, but it's a heard.
About twenty stags were turned away at the mid-week race Wednesday. Report has it that the boys did a bit of grumbling and beefing because they got there too late to be admitted. If those laddies would get the lead out of it and get a date, they'd have no choice. The wonders would be just that much better.
Well, there were two of our faires knitting at the Philharmonic!
NUMBER 99
One of the questions on a recent quiz given to the 10.30 economics class by Dean Stockton was—"Define meditation." After the papers were returned a student asked Stockton to define meditation and said that it was a violin solo played that it was a violin solo played the acts of Massonet's beautiful opera "Theatrus."
A werry, wery funny tale came from the Phil Gam house in which Milo Sloo and one of his brothers are the victims. Milo and the above brother in the bored ob'd and alb'd and whipped near dys, and were off for a trip to Kansas City one beautiful (?) day a short while ago. Nothing was heard from the voyagers until the next morning when the lodge received a telegram worked to the effect that they took the wrong road, hit Columbia instead of Kansas City, and would be home the next day.

Broadcasting company WH B's question for the roving reporter to ask Kansas City people yesterday was, "Are Men More Conceited than Women?" One man answered into the mike, "Men are more conceited than women because women aren't smart enough to be conceited." Now there's a follow anyone would be proud to call "friend" and we sincerely hope that he answers a lot more of their questions.
We like to quote Kansan advertisers, now and then—just good business you know. This one really comes from Dick Wagstaff at Weidemann's though. John Herlocker and Mary Ruth Pyle were comfortably seated in the back room at Weidemann's the other day—John studying. Mary Ruth knitting, etc. Dick says he sees her and he's seen girl knit back there, and he's seen a little loving going on at various times also, but this was the first case he could remember where he saw all three going on at the same time.
Sometimes we just can't help thinking that the fellow who chooses our beauty queens must be blind in one eye and have an awful hanger make his good one a little bit cloudy.
We wonder if the reason Freddy Harris spends the whole afternoon on which the Jayhawk comes out, in the morning? If she will find him after they read it.
Matmen Go to Missouri
Kansas Wrestling Team to Meet Tiger Men Tonight
The Kansas wrestling team will leave this morning at 7:30 for Columbia, Mo., where they will meet the University of Missouri wrestling team tonight.

Kansas State has met the University four times already this year, twice in unofficial exhibition games using suggested changes in the game. The Manhattan team has won only one of the test games, and neither of the conference games. The last time the teams met, Kansas State outscored the Jayhawks from the field, but the Oreadmen won by free throw line.
The entire squad of fourteen will make the trip, leaving at 1:30 aternoon. The Manhattan trip each year is given to all members as somewhat of a reward for their efforts for the season.
Referee: E. C. Quigley, St Mary's "Chill" Cochran, Kansas State.
The Jayhawk basketball men move to Manhattan for a two-day's visit with Kansas State, meeting their hosts on the court both Friday and Saturday nights. Dr. F. C. Allen intends to annex two victories over the Wildcats in his drive toward a fifth consecutive Big Six title.
Out of the Big Six basketball race themselves, the Kansas State basketball team intends to complicate the title situation, starting with Kansas and perhaps ending with Iowa. The two teams will face each other, the two with Kansas, one with the Cyclones and one with Nebraska. Last weekend, they split with Oklahoma.

Sophomore Beauties Named Toddy Haines Heads List Selected by Max Factor
Joe Doctor, '25, editor-in-chief of the University Daily Kansan, was chosen from a panel of five names as publisher at a meeting of the Kanan Board year-
The plans for publisher were defeated last semester but were carried after a motion of reconsideration. The creation of the new position will fill a long-felt want on the part of the Kansan. The work of the publisher will be to correlate business, editorial and news sections and will eliminate the jagged edges of inconsistent and loosely constructed policy that has from time to time been imposed by students of the University. The publisher's term will be for one semester.
Ted O'Leary, '32, who was one of Dr. Allen's most outstanding pupils, has written an article about his former coach. Ted won All-Big Six and All-American forward berths in 1832; he worked with Dr. Alison for three years. He played basketball team and later coached basketball for two years at George Washington University. He is now working as a sports reporter on the Kansas City Star.
Ping Senate, '34, has a very humorous article in the Jahayhawker on bundling entitled "Under Cover." He is one of the campus' favorite humorists of the last few years. Brad Thompson, an employee of the Capper Engraving Co., and editor of the KAW, annual magazine of Washburn College last year, illustrated Fiona's story with some exceptional air-brush drawings.

Early Enrollment For All Students Suggested by MSC
Committee of Men's Coun cil Will Confer With Faculty Group on New Plan
Acting on the assumption that a thorough and systematic change toward simplification of existing enrollment conditions is necessary, the Men's Student Council, meeting in Memorial Union last evening, drew plans for the campus to be presented for consideration to the faculty enrollment committee headed by Prof. Guy Smith.
The suggested changes were advanced by a committee under the direction of Norbert Anschutz, c 36, after an investigation and consideration of enrolling systems in other universities in the United States and Europe.
Amchecht advanced the following suggested changes as these best toward a more practical plan of enrollment. A *enrollment* for all except new students.
More Students To Enroll Early
All students who have spent at least one semester at this University will enroll near the end of the current semester in the courses which they expect to take
2 A system similar to the present en-
rollment system but on a minor scale to
provide for all new students including
first semester freshmen.
The council believes that new students should be given advice similar to that given all students at the present time because they are unfamiliar with the curricula. With advanced students already enrolled, the advisers and chairmen have more time to devote to adding the new student in his selection of courses.
3. Require consultation with adviser at least once each semester. A student not having sufficient hours for sophomore standing must have the signed approval of his adviser on the enrolling card.
George Washington's Birthday
The adviser must be consulted before pre-enrollment for his advice in the selection of courses. His advice need not be followed except in the case of those students not having enough hours for sophomore standing. The council feels
Hours Checked By Advisers
Observe good faith and justice towards all nations, cultivate peace and harmony with all.

The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.
It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.—Washington's Farewell Address to the American People.
Kennamer Guilty
Jury Returns Verdict of Manslaughter
Pawnee, Okla., Feb. 22-(UP)-Phil Kenmander was convicted here tonight of first degree manlaughter for the death of John F. Gorrell, Jr., last Thanksgiving night.
The verdict carries with it a sentence of from four years to life imprisonment.
The jury took the case at 11:44 am this morning and returned at 9:16 pm tonight.
The jury, which had the power to sentence Kennerman or to leave it up to the judge, decided to do the latter. Judge Thurman S. Hurst stated that he would pronounce sentence Saturday at 2 pm.
Defense attorneys said that a formal notice of appeal would be filed immediately after the sentence was pronounced.
Korzybski to Discuss Difficulties of Language
Lecture on General Semantics to Be Given This Afternoon
The lecture by Count Alfred Korzybski in Central Administration auditorium this afternoon at 3 o'clock on the subject, "General Semantics and Mental Hygiene," will consist of a study of language and its difficulties. Having made it his life work, Count Korzybski is undoubtedly more fully prepared and is more able to speak than others in his field, according to Dr. Raymond Wheeler, head of the department of psychology.
Dr. Wheeler explained the scientist's work in the following way: "A new branch of general science in experimental science is being developed by Korylbski and others who are following his lead. This is called the science of general semantics and deals with the structure of thought as compounded with other concepts." For example, if you have a map by means of which you are guiding yourself across the country, you are lost unless the map corresponds with the country adequately. We use language just as we use maps as a guide to the nature of the world, society and ourselves. It consists of symbols, annotations and expressions expressed by the symbols corresponds to the world of reality we are lost."
Count Korbyski has been doing research work in St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington for two years with promising success, and various institutions of learning scattered over the country are beginning to alter their teaching models of Korbyski's suggestions, again with promising success. His work is an important feature of the universal change that is taking place in the different sciences and is now beginning to grip social science. He stresses, as do other modern writers, the unity and inter-connectedness of things on the one hand and the other on the other. He belongs to the general organicistic and relativistic movement.

Dictator's Power Rests on Appeal To National Unity
-Rateliffe
English Journalist Blames Treaty of Versailles for European Conditions
"The power of the modern dictator rests upon the fact that he is able to restore and intensify the sense of national unity, lost through the downfall of monarchies in the war period," S. K. Ratcliffe, English journalist, told a large audience last night. "We can scarely believe that a dictator existed when King George came to the throne in 1910 have disappeared."
"Twenty years after, we pause," Mr. Ratliffe said, "to try to weigh up the gains and the losses of the long struggle. Yet 20 years after, we see almost unimaginable results. The two most contested battles since the World War are the fulfillment of the Soviet Revolution and the progress of counter revolutions.
Dictators Date Back to Treaty
DECISIONS
The universes belief during the war period had a democracy would in the end prevail. It would have been impossible for society 20 years ago to conceive of dictatorships as we see them today. People of a generation ago could not have believed that civilization would ever develop such phenomena as we have today in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The development of the dictator results in a repudiation of all democracy, he pointed out.
In dictatorships, we have thrown over all the progress made toward liberty through the nineteenth century. That fatal June 30 in Germany, when the so-called 'burge purge' took place, represents the system of the dictator, whose punishments are dealt with; they can only be crushed, Mr. Ratcliffe said.
Describes Saar Plebescite
"No one who has studied Germany since the war doubts that Nazi Germany is a product of the Versailles treaty," he said. "Europe should have been concerned with protecting itself from the ideas of Bohlevinice Russia. The country would not be软弱ishiging German strong, but the diploma missed this great opportunity."
Mr. Ratliffe was in the Saar region before the plebiscite, and relate that the Nazi won the Saarland back to Germany by two main points in their propaganda: They said that if the Saarlanders did not vote for immediate return to Germany, they would be traitors to the fatherland; and that if they voted themselves out, they would vote themselves out forever.
Europe in Favor of Peace
The League of Nations started with great idealism and human hope and faith, although two great powers, the United States and Russia, were out of sight. The League of collective responsibility is in danger of being overthrown by the refusal of a great power to recognize the responsibility of its own word. That nation is Japan."
In answering a question at the end of his lecture, Mr. Rattifile stated emphatically that he believed Europe to be predominantly in favor of peace, and that there was no danger of Russia's entering into a war with Japan.
WRITING IS IN DANGER
Latcliffe Points Out Sloppiness of Today's Literature
ized by a general sloppiness of expression, is in danger of losing the heritage of our language unless we continue to study the art of the great masters of the past, whose greatest exponent was Charles Lamb," said S. K. Rateliffe, English journalist and author in a talk yesterday to the English majors and others interested. According to the author, this exacerbated by the immense accesions we have made to non-literary influences caused by the multiplicity of new occupations and new processes of applied science.
M. Ratlczyc, who was introduced by R.D. O'Leary, professor of English, gave a review of the life of the great English writer as part of a celebration of the centenary of Lamb, who died in December, 1834.
The speaker drew a comparison between Lamb and H. G. Wells, stating that they both came from the group of care-takers and upper servants. Lamb was the son of a caretaker and a worker at London. He was fortunate enough to be educated at Christ's Hospital in London. Like many other famous men in English literature,
