Betty Lou's Mad and We're Glad . . What, No Tree Costume . . Martin Gets in Some Early Practice . . The "Careers" Will Get You If You Don't Watch Out.
We think this should come at the head of the column today because we're so terribly, terribly sorry for something we mentioned first! It comes to these poor old ears that Betty Lou is just sick of hearing about herself and the other 11 Pi Phi's in the child care class. Really, my dear, it's been in every paper in the country and the Sour Owl, and you know that enough's enough but too much is good publicity. Therefore, we won't mention it today—we mean about Betty Lou and 11 other Pi Phi's being in the child care class.
We get ourselves asked today if we had a tree costume like Bill Blower's for snooping around and getting news. far, all we've had to do to get ours is hide behind a pipe and act like a Father confessor or something.
There comes an interesting little tale of the wooing of Dorothy Anne Martin, the gel who leads the musical comedy. We didn't hear who was pouring said woo, but we did hear that it started in the men's lounge of the Union, and, after a large crowd of spectators had gathered, the lady at the desk on the main floor had to request the lovers to move because girls weren't allowed in the men's lounge anyway. . so they moved to the main lounge
"Her eyes like limpid pools of shot beer"—thanks, Lamar.
The following tale makes us want to start at the bottom of the ladder and work up to being President of these dear delapidated United States without the aid (hindrance you mean) of the so-called college education. The dean of the School of Business to a man who was the leading manager or one of several departments of a large rubber company flunked accounting- only once when he was in school here. It just goes to show how much K. U can do for a man with ambition.
Why 'n bell do they have to overwear the furnace stickers when the weather is nice and warm like this? (Remember this was written Wednesday)
There are ways and means of cheering athletes on to further glories and then again, there are ways and means of cheering athletes on to further glories, and then there are—but that would make three times as much fun as the Kappa had at the pool the other night to help bring good old Kappa to the top of the heap. The gels: Lucille Bottom, Katie Hurd, and good old Flossie Lee. While the more athletically inclined试到 how much better than the fish they could swim, the better what others may say about the way Flossie Lee does things (what things?) she could knit faster than the others.
Jane Brosius showed the good old Bresius business methods the other day in the Union when she traded the cashier a stick of gum for one of the penny candy bars. Could she help it if she was both broke and smart?
One Wilson Williams found himself ketched the other day and we didn't say anything about pants. It seems that Williams was down at Coe's drug with his flame, Loa Hausam (if you don't know Loe, you at least know what he was doing) taking the other day when Williams was ketched by his uncle and we still didn't say anything about pants. After being duly introduced, the uncle asked Williams if he were the one who bought the gas for the auto, where-upon Wilson was much embarrassed, said neither him nor so solennely deferred the thing it is too serious to be a launder mind.
The height of something or other comes in this headline from the Atchison Globe: "Bender Leads Fight on 3.2." But they all had fun.
Pictures of Dr. R. E. Padfield, graduate from the School of Medicine at the University in 1911, appeared recently in Wichita papers as a prominent citizen and successful doctor, among other noted men of Wichita. Dr. Padfield was chairman of a committee of public spirted Wichitans who recently instigated a new department of speech at Wichita University.
Orchestra Music Thrills Big Crowd At Concert Here
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1835
Director Krueger of Kansas City Philharmonic Is Liberal With His Encores
By Lena K. Wyatt, c'35
"Do you really want an encore?"
The pleasant voice of Karl Krueger sounded through the University Auditorium, where a grown silent at the tip of his hand.
The response from the 2500 students and townpeople who filled the Auditorium last night to hear a program presented by the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra brought color to the dignified face of the leader.
NUMBER 98
"Then you shall have it," he said Not one, but two encounters followed and the University students, supposedly that the presentation might have beer products of a "jazz mad" age wished longer.
It was not the first time that the University audience had shown an appreciation of "heavy music", but it was the first time Lawrence had had an opportunity to hear the 89 piece orchestra piece which has recently received much acclaim in the musical world.
The program opened with Tehakovsky's Symphony No. 5 catching the attention of the listeners with the strong deep tones and the contrasting gay, swinging melody of the well-loved composer, and displayed the strength in the stern figure of the leader who guided the musicians.
The familiar Nocturne-Scharzo of Mendelssohn brought immediate response from the audience. At the close of its delicate rapid movement, Mr. Krueger was called back several times. Suite from the Ballet, "O'lisear de Faur" or the Fire Bird Stirring of the preceding numbers. In the strength and color of unusual harmony the gorgeous fire bird came to life in the music. This note changed to the more subdued beautiful tones of the "Dance of the Princesses" which was in turn broken by the loud staccato "Infernal Dance of the Kastelfe" The comma in tone and its popularity with the audience was evidenced in the prolonged applause which followed its close.
It was then that Mr. Kruger spoke to his audience. He expressed his pleasure at being able to play at his own University. "I went to school here once," he said simply and those listening realized his sincerity.
In response to the request of the audience, the orchestra played as encores "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" and a waltz number.

SHOE REPAIRER PUTS
NEW STING IN PADDLES
R. O. Burgert, local shop repairer,
devised a new method of torture
for the neophyte university students.
He has made a new type of paddle out of his best grade of sole leather. The paddle has plenty of sting and plenty of give, and is guaranteed not to wear out or break.
It is somewhat reminisful of the good old days when Pa got out the razor-strap to use on us when we misbehaved.
Preparations for War Discussed by Jennie Lee
Disarmament Conference Are Masked Balls, Says L. I. D. Speaker
Not the open armaments but the huge, unknown reserves are the result of world preparation for war. Jenie Lee, former member of the British Parliament, told the fifth LLD. lecture on "Preparations for World War."
"This generation may become either heroic or pathetic, depending upon how it meets the coming crisis. The fate of Europe and the world will probably be decided by the happenings in Germany. If Fascism remains in power, the future is bleak. Perfect war psychology and is armed to the teeth," the speaker said.
"Disarmament conferences are masked balls," Miss Lee said in stressing the fact that no one, not even the foremost diplomats, knows the extent of the armaments of the nations of the world. "Because the populations of most countries believe in peace, and in order to baffle prospective enemies, governments never release true statistics for public information."
Historical Data Publisheo
F. H. Roberts Tells of Reminiscences of Early Kansas

Change in Buying Power of Dollar Justifies Decision
—Howey
Economist Declares Decree to Be Reasonable, as It Will Not Hurt Anyone
By Robert Busby, c'uncl
By Robert Bussel, c/o F.R. In an interview yesterday Prof. R. S. Hewey of the department of economics said that he considered the Supreme Court's "gold" decision "good and reasonable."
He pointed out that the decision was reasonable in that it hurts no one. If it had gone the other way, he declared, the effects would have been bad, necessitating immediate action on the part of congress. By this decision, the government has the power to raise prices at a future date if it so desires.
"The court held," Professor Howey said, that the creditor could demand in payment only the number of dollars which he borrowed. If the number of dollars lent had the same purchasing power as the number of dollars returned to the creditor all the justice that could be expected is done the creditor. There is no great likelihood that a debtor will chase power of the dollar will go down to the extent that the creditor would be injured.
Purchasing Power Not Reduced
"It is sometimes assumed that the reduction in gold content of the dollar automatically reduces the purchasing power of the dollar and thus deprives the creditor of a part of his income. But that by no means is the case. The devaluation of the dollar merely puts into the government's hands a tool of money, the dollar's purchasing power may be reduced. It is by no means automatic.
"It is now the policy of the government to bring about this reduction, and the reduction will naturally harm creditors to some extent and at the same time it helps the debtors. But the debtors are to be helped and the creditors injured only because in the last five years the change in the purchasing power of the dollar has had precisely the opposite effect.
"The creditor can expect," Professor Honey averred, "no more than the return of the dollars which are equally valuable with these which he lent, and yet at present the creditor's dollars are reducing their value because the need for reducing their value.
Creditors Would Profit
"Congress," Professor Hewey continue, "has the power to coin money and to regulate the value thereof, and the Supreme Court held that the private debts in which there was the gold clause demanding payment in 'gold coin of a certain weight and fineness' interfered with the power of congress thus to issue money. In the four cases before the court, the creditors had been paid for the amount of dollars than were actually honored. Had these payments have been indeed well off,
"There is somewhat of a similarity between a bondholder attempting to collect over 60% more in dollars from a railroad in the hands of receiver, and Shylock insisting on the fulfillment of his contract for a pound of flesh. Perhaps the breaking of Shylock's contract made of contracts, as a prominent senator said the other day: 'mere scrups of paper,' and perhaps the cannon by which the senator acted as an act of congress makes of contracts in this country mere scrups of paper. But in both cases certain desirable ends were obtained."
Bondholders Would Suffer
Continuing, Professor Howey declared that "it is probable that the enforcement of these classes and the preservation of the sanctity of contracts would have done the bondholders in this country even less good than the deliverance to Shylock the pound of flesh. For the payment of these impossible amounts would have wrecked a large proportion of the concerus which had sold bonds. It is better in terms of money by a going concern, than to have a doubtful claim against a bankrupt one.
"The government could have paid off," Professor Howey explained, "only by inflation, and inflation might have raised prices to the extent that the purchasing power of the creditor's money would have been reduced in a proportion larger than the increased amount which they had collected. So it is probably just as well that the creditors lost their suits."
