We Start a Campaign . . The Fine Arts Bulletin Finally Shows Some Art . . Found, a Use for Blondes . . Conglomerata
Just as a starter, we may propose a campaign against the fellow who sits behind you with his feet on the rung of your chair and wiggles and flaunches the whole hour? How exterminations might also include the profs who keep you after the whistle blows. We hear that Professors Chubb and Melvin seem to be staging a contest of this sort with each other. The report has it that Meltin is winning so far with a score of ten minutes. Some fun—for the instructor
"You may have been bred in Kentucky, but you just be a crumb up here," says Prof. C. B. Really—really he does.
Yesterday being the day of good St. Valentine, some clever felly put a few cartons on the Fine Arts bulletin board over by Green Hall. The caricatures were of some of our more censephalous personalities in their good supply of wit of a sort. The most outstanding of the cartons were of Karl Gonerer, Bill Blowers, and Joe Dunkel. Gonerer's made great play of his highly intellectual opinion of himself and Dunkel's poem accompanying the picture went something like this: "There is he sweet? There's more than one reason why he's so light on his feet." The picture showed Josie with a couple of beautiful butterfly wings.

Recent experiments at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology show that a blonde hair is the best material for a certain instrument which registers atmospheric humidity. We always thought there might be some use for blondes
Bill Cochrane reports that there seemed to be a much greater number of happy girls at the dance Wednesday, and that the fellows seemed a trifle surprised to find that an accurate account was really kept on the number of stages permitted to attend. An interesting fact is that Herbert Mueller, German ex-servicer who spent two years come in. With the grand old American welcome, he was turned away as per orders and will probably come earlier next week.
Those who doubt hereditary influence might be interested in the fact that the minister who interrupted the Hauptmann trial was the brother of the convict whose story is "I'm a Fugitive from a Chain Game."
Now and then we must have an absent-minded professor anecdote and here's a fair one. A certain instructor who lives on the edge of the Hill went to the grocery the other day to get some groceries (naturally) and took his auto since he intended to come home with quite a loud. He parked his car in front of the store, purchased the food, loaded it in his arms, and walked the way home.
Serry we can't pin this one on Rex Woods, but a little too good for him anyway. The other day in one of Professor Chubb's classes the class was asked, "Is a paradox?" Jim Bickett saw the light in one bright flash and came through with, "A paradox is a couple of medies."
One shocked lady reports that Devon Leeraster came to Geometry class this week with no shirt on—just his K sweater. Perhaps he thought the prof was intending to sweat a few answers out of him. (Oh boy, is that a good joke?)

fluous collection of congolenga: Mac Murphy is carrying around a two-pound

Plans Are Made To Finish Union
Tentative Scheme Calls for Improvement in Men's Facilities, Enlarged Check Room and Fountain, and Completion of Third Floor to Provide More Space for Meeting Rooms
"One of the most important things that has happened on the campus in the last quarter of a century." Thus did Chancellor E. H. Lindley characterize the building of the Memorial Union, in a speech last night at a banquet of the Memorial Union operating committee.
Tentative plans for the completion of the existing wing of the building have been made by Henry Werner, men's student adviser, Bill Cochrane, manager of the Union, and Verner Smith, consulting architect, and were presented at the banquet by Lloyd Metzler, b35, and Mr. Smith. The plans included the improvement of men's facili
It is estimated that at least one half of the students at the University use the Memorial Union building every day. A recent survey by a CSEP student showed that more and more students are seeing the worth of the building, and that there is a crying need for more room.
Under the tentative plans, the check room will be moved to the east end of the main lobby, near the front door, where the telephone booth and clock now are. The check room would be placed in the second room, saving one. The men's rest room would be placed where the check stand now stands.
The space on the third floor, which has never been completed, is cut down by the high ceiling of the ballroom, but there is sufficient space there for a large general meeting room; a council room, which would be used by both the Men's Student Council, and the W.S.G.A.; the Jayhawk office; headquarters for the Y.M.C.A.; besides a few rooms for meetings.
To Move Fourth Room
Plans call for the moving of the pool room to the north side of the sub-base-ment, and moving the grill to the south side. This would make the fountain room three times larger than the present one, and do away with the untidiness of the present room, which is caused by lack of space. The manager's office, the book exchange, and an additional meeting or booth must be placed where the 'fountain now is.'
Mr. Smith estimated that the cost of these changes, would total around $14-200.00. This would include putting only temporary partitions on the third floor, but plastering the ceiling, and the sides of the wall.
The building of a steel stairway between the second and third floor, which would be absolutely necessary if the third floor was put to use, would cost about $2.100. Finishing the third floor would cost about $2.880. The building

Lindley Speaks to Kiwanis
Educational Facilities Unjustly Neglected, Chancellor Says
In a speech before the weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis club yesterday, Chancellor Lindley asserted that educational facilities were being uniquely neglected, to the ultimate detriment of society. The University budget has been cut 28 percent in spite of the fact that enrollment has increased by 300 students over that of last year.
He condemned the practice of leas-
ening expenses for education and said
that a dollar spent for a school was
worth more than a dollar spent on a
jail. It would be far better to keep
the youth of the country in school than
to turn them loose in a world where
the struggle for jobs is so intense,
and where some would inevitably be forced
on the dole.
He said he could match every instance of deprivation and hardship endured in the old days in order to get an education with stories taken from his own life. He said it was out of every five men students at the University is self supporting.

Ted Shawn Coming Again
M. S. C. Moves to Bring Added Attraction Here
At a special meeting of the Men's Student Council yesterday afternoon in Memorial Union it was voted to recommend the appropriation of $275.00 to bring Ted Shaw donors here Feb 27 as an addition attraction on the student council. The W.G.A.D. is calling a meeting this weekend to visit the measure.
The $275.00 guarantee will be underwritten to the extent of $275.00 by the student activity ticket fund committee and for $100.00 by Tau Sigma. The net proceeds from the sale of tickets to those not having activity books will be used to reimburse Tau Sigma for their share of the appropriation.
The M.S.C. decided to include this program on the regular activity ticket program on the grounds that this program is not as adequate as it should be.

Ratcliffe, Famous English Journalist Will Lecture Here
Thursday Night's Lecture Receives High Praise From English Writer
S. K. Rattcliffe, one of the most distinguished of English journalists, will lecture in the University Auditorium next thursday at 8:30. His subject will be "Twenty Years After." It will deal with the storm over Europe, dictatorship and the eclipse of democracy, its settlement or catastrophe.
Mr. Rutilete is on a lecture tour of the United States and Canada. This tour will mark the twenty-second of his consecutive years of lecturing in America. He has given talks in cities from coast to coast.
Mr. Ratcliffe was editor of the Mr. Stateman of Calcutta, India, one of the leading English newspapers of the Oriental for five years. He has been an editorial writer for The Daily News and The New Stateman and Nation of London, and during his recent visits to the United States he has been special correspondent with the Spectator. He broadcast a description of President Roosevelt's inauguration, March 4, 1933, for the British Isles and Western Europe.
George Bernard Shaw writes: "S. K Ratliffe is a very accomplished lecturer, and a very remarkable man, ever by the standards of America, where every man is introduced as remarkable. He is a student of public movements; and he keeps in front of them all the books he has been letting himself be caught in a groove. He knows more about most of them than they do about themselves. He has been on the track of every leader of today from the tell-tale time when only a few obscure followers expected anything from them. He remembers everything that they have seen him know, worth knowing; and not one of them can tell you anything about him, or where and how they met him. Though they know he is a journalist they give him inside information as a matter of course, just as they give it to Colonel House; and they can't tell why. As a public speaker he is involved in the audience; and the art with which he affects this is perfectly enceled."
Discuss Completion of Union Building
The lecture has been changed from 8:20 to 8:30 in order to permit those who attend the Chamber of Commerce dinner honoring Mrs. Waltkins to att

The Jayhawkers invade Lincoln tonight in an attempt to repeat their performance of defeating Nebraska, in the first road engagement of Dr. Allen's men, Kansas downed Nebraska 32 to 12 in their first meeting here last Monday. The Cornhuskers showed a real fighting spirit, and this was a lesson for all Christians when Coach Brown's men have the advantage of the home court.
Coach Allen took 9 players for the encounter. Those who went last night are Ebling, Bergman, Shaffer, Allen, Oyler, Noble, Kappelman, Wells, and Gray, and Coaches Allen and Geto. The starting line-ups will probably be very strong, but Coach Allen game in Lawrence, with the exception that Nobile is challenged to jump center

Coach Harold Browne is expected to insert the same starting five which hit Kansas hard in Monday's game. Led by Screamon and Wahibhui, they set the

V.S.G.A. MUSICAL COMEDY CAST TO BE SELECTED SOON
Rehearsals for the W.S.G.A. musical comedy chorus, which have been going on for a week, look promising according to Joe Dunkel, dance director. Regular practices for the chorus have been held every afternoon in the Memorial Union ballroom between the hours of 3:30 and 5:00clock.
Because of the play, "Yankee Crusade," rehearsals for the comedy have been held every afternoon in Fraser theater, but beginning tonight rehearsals will be held in the evening, starting promptly at 7:29.
- The cast of the comedy is to be an-
nounced soon. The short delay is due to
the fact that it must be submitted to the
e eligibility committee for checking.
