Not Politics. Give a Beauty Contest . . . Just Give Him a Life-saver . . . That's What They Get for Bathing . . . On Paying Fees
Every now and then we need must hear about the nasty politics on our campus; how the elections are fixed, the combines combined, the undercover "co-operation" etc. It now appears that even the contests for beauty queens are fixed—that is, as far as those rough, tough engineer boys are concerned. From a very good source comes the rumour that Miss Catherine Cassidy is to be queen of the Hob Nail Hop, or whatever that lady's official title may be. The aforementioned queenie is really not supposed to be chosen until Friday night but after all, what difference does it make if she is passing thought on the舞会? we hear (and see) that the舞会 is to be quite some something—some 13 pieces (musicians to you) and a feature of Buddy ("K. O." Frank and Bashooke banging on the two pianes. Buddy and Bus will be plent; good— our only regret is that they can' use Anna Marie Tompkins too.
Under the curtain at the Union: "Don't know why, but he does smell so Much strong tobacco smoke. Even in the coffee we were down there on the lounge."
And we thought girls hated to call their felts—we hear that at the Hammonds club there is a guy named Doe Smith whose gel asks for him on the phone by inquiring the whereabouts of her "honey."
From the other; "Mmmm, good." The soup, big fellow, the soup—least we hope so!
Glad we don't have so many house restrictions as the gals do—one sorority put up a sign: "Singing of naughty girls" and "Not authorized." The girls rebelled though.
Some master criminal has been making a run into the Kappa house now and then during dinner and stealing the pumps which the girls leave in the cloak room while they eat. Nice place, K.U.
Charles Brown hath said: "It is a wise man who once gave to this poor world that the difference between a bell and an alarm clock you can't see a button on a spider."
Observation of fee paying etc. . . .
A good rule to follow is never to try to give the school your money at 2:30 in the afternoon . . . every other else will be there, the three worn out money-taker-inmers may heaven an ink bottle at you if things go wrong, and last but not least you'll have to stand for about an hour. There's a last-minute rush for activity books by those whose checks come from Dad in time to payfe immediately—Raymond Nichols just up and forget to have the activity books printed, the office had to have their own desk, the table the place is full of them (money) and now the studies are getting in everyone's hair returning their dums for the real thing. Next time will someone please remind the Nichols? We saw a notebook lying on the table in the hall
A representative of the W. T. Grant company will interview seniors of the School of Business, in room 114 Administration building on Monday, Feb. 18.
—had the owner's name on it in letter, about three inches high accompanied by a great number of things as Jaywha, Yoe Man, Booon, Rock Chalk, Tailless Ya-Ya, Bee to, To all who turns the movie-type collegiate hasn't been entirely exterminated yet—we must hope for the best. Ankled in to the college office and very politely asked Miss Lear if she could give any dirt on the Dean. A dean could make a mistake you know, and "Dirt on the Dean" sounds pretty good anyway, said Jaywha. "To all who say they like me," Says we, "A quiet living公寓, chl?" Says she兄 Two, "Well, anything but that." Might we remark such stuff.

BUSINESS SCHOOL SENIORS TO BE INTERVIEWED MONDAY
All these eligible students who are interested should call at the office of the dean of the School of Business to obtain a place on the interview schedule.
Acting of Crafton Outstanding Part Of Pioneer Drama
"Yankee Crusade" Portrays Character Types Seen During Early Kansas Days
By Lena K. Wyatt, c'35
To Allen and Jessica Crafton go the honors of the opening performance of Mr. Crafton's new play "Yankee Creek" at the Walt Disney World resort, where she settled Kansas in the fifte-
The lovable old rascal, Waddy Ramson, played by Mr. Crafton, a typical kit of human flotsam inevitably drawn to a new land—as real as if the crude, rugged he represents again existed. In the thickened speech of the old drunkard, in the slouch of his body, and in his amusing craftiness, Mr Crafton makes for an upset with the passing of the frontier. It is Waddy who provides humorous relief from the dramatic action of the play.
Mrs. Crafton a Loyal Pioneer
Jessica Crafton, as Carrie Riley, became the pioneer woman who has rightfully won a place in history. With little background, possessed only of common sense, loyalty, and hard work, Jessica brought to the hard, uncertain life of the people.
Why she came to Kansas, she did not know. "It was a new land, and we just come, that was all." But once there, she loved the territory and stunnely remained to carry on after her husband's death. It would be impossible to extract Mrs. Crafton from the character. She belongs in the setting.
Within the territory of Kansas during the fifties, lay the settlement of the national slavery question. The courageous northern settlers who had come within its borders took up the abolition of slavery as a cause, and wowed that this new land should be established as a "free" state.
Prologue Explains Situation
Prologue Explains Solution
The prologue introduces the situation through the conversation of Waddy; Judge Cooper, political aspirant, as played by Leen King; Gardette, fictional character who is a lawyer William Pabar, leader of the community and his wife, acted by Robert Calderwood and Bernie Brooks; and Houston Moore, young man attracted to the new territory, played by Farrel Strawn. Aad Warley, a southern bride, played by Laurel Allen is introduced when she seeks aid when her husband dies while they are traveling.
The first insight into the life of the community comes in the first episode in Dan Riley's aibn. It is bitter winter and the topic foremost in the minds of the settlers gathered there is still abolition. The first bloodhed takes place when Dan Riley is killed by pro-slavery maneuvers.
Carrie Riley takes over the village hotel after her husband's death and shelters the southern girl.
Provisions Stopped Starving Settlers
The Missourians try to starve the settlers out by stopping provisions and the circumstances of the community become dire. Garrett collects a large band of men and vows he will use arms to drive out the pro-slavery government. Pelose and others of the community encourage peaceful victory through polls.
Pabor is arrested by the pro-slavery government and young Houston Moore is made colonel to carry on in his place.
Calderwood's Characterization Good Robert Calderwood, as Will Pabor, gives an excellent characteristic of the shrewed New England leader of the comedy genre. He keeps with the conventionality of his background and also with the personality of a man who has the courage to visualize a new government. The role of his wife does not interfere Bernin Brookes the opportunity which she had in "Douglas," but her ability to adapt herself to so part of display her versatility.
The village is attacked and successfully defends itself, driving back the ruffians.
The settlers are successful in having Kanaas admitted to the Union as a "free" state, and the community leaders are honored by the new government. A love plot between the southern girl and the woman provides a pleasant romantic interest.
William Fugel as Charlie Gardette displays an over-earnestness in the prologue and the first episode, but becomes convincing as the rabid abolitionist in *The Tale of Titus* (2017), a deep voice fin him well for the part of the good-natured, politically ambitious

The Maeon, a sister ship of the Akmon which crashed in 1933, was built in that year. It was 785 feet long and used a 6,500,000 cubic feet of helium. Its frame was a lattice web made of duralium and had a dead weight of 221,000 pounds. The eight engines, four of which were on each side, developed 4,490 horse power. It had a maximum cruising speed of 84 miles per hour and could travel 10,580 miles without stopping.
Lt. Commander Herbert V. Wiley, skipper of the Macon, was one of the three survivors of the Akron disaster of April 4, 1933.
In 1925, the Shenanado perished over Caldwell, Ohio. With the crash of the R-101, a British ship in 1930, that country dismantled the R-100 and discontinued the building of all rigid airship.
The last major airship catastrophe in the United States was the crash of the Akron off the New Jersey coast.

The bureau of visual instruction is offering glass slides and motion pictures in order to give the traveler a picture of the Spanish speaking countries.
R. G. Mahieu To Speaks
Dr. B. A. Nash to Speak Tomorrow

*cess is continued until one of the candidates has a majority. As the outcome can in no way be predicted, the council believes that this method will be successful in doing away with combines.
A mass meeting of all women will be held Monday afternoon at 4:30 at which time anyone may offer suggestions for council action and criticisms will be received. At the same meeting a petition system for nominating of officers in the spring elections will be explained, and the treasurer's report will be given.
The petition system, which will probably be used, would require the candidate to file a petition with the signatures of 10 or 15 women, eligible to vote, for a candidate. The candidate is running, a few days before the election, accompanied by a small fee to cover expenses for the election tea. This system would eliminate any conflict with the administration which might result if the old method was not used for voting for which the women would have to be excused from classes were continued.
The council discussed plans for the Intramural Carnival to be held March 8 in cooperation with the MSC, and a committee was appointed to work through the organized houses and the House President's Association consisting of Ann Kell, c'35, Dorothy Lewis, c'36, and Winnifred Koenig, c'6.
Suggestions for a plan whereby upper classmen as well as second semester seniors might enroll before the actual starting of the semester were considered and a committee consisting of Betty Tholen, f37, Ann Kell, c25, and one of the council members to be elected this spring was appointed to draw up plans pertaining to the project to present to the administration.
