Our First Touch of Huey . . . The Delta's Have Auction . . . Our Rogues' Gallery . . . Queenie Again . . . and that Kappa's Back . . . So Long.
LAWRENCE. KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1935
Boy oh boy, are we getting letters! We didn't get this one though the managing editor did. It gave him a most masty bawling out for the story about the Pigon Society, or was it a Sparrow, and then on eponymous animals? Long's alma matter, you couldn't do this to us!" Can't you just imagine an Owl hiding behind Huey's pants?
The boys at the Delta Tau house had a private auction the other day. Bill Hibbs, who leaves school today to take over a new job as a traveling secretary for the fraternity, was cleaning out his room and auctioned off such petty things as girl's pictures, lamps, etc., so he wouldn't have to bother packing them.
Believe it or Not: There will be no drinking immediately after finals. We have absolutely no proof.
Prof. Kistler tells of the student who in writing up a wedding story as part of his final exam, made a remark about the "bride party". Rex Woods probably would have wondered if he said anything about the bride's father taking her up to the Halter.
Oh, my country, goodness-sakes, well what do you know, and a chocolate root beer. How in h— did this picture show? It shows that every other day and demanded that we throw it away.
Talking about instructors in this department is just like asking for a handful of trouble but we couldn't let this one on Prof. Lece get by without a little mention. A friend tells us that his mother attended the Kansas Press Conference last week in Topeka, and wrote her son saying, "I saw that pretty professor from K.U.'s school of journalism up there too." No, we have no courses from him.
The nasty awful spite that literary genius's have treasured in their hearts for each other was boldly displayed at the Lawrence studio Sunday while the Sigma Delta Chi's were having their mugs photored for the Jayhawker. The man underneath the black curtain asked our Owl Editor Blower to please smile a little for him—his harry comes through with "He probably can't smile any more because he's been reading his own jokes too long."
What's this we hear about Betty Lou "Queciee" McFarlane burping her soup in the Union fountain the other day. Soup should be sung, according to the best authorities.
Aforementioned blond Kappa who was cited in this column last week for her lack of intellectual development in not being able in the course of a whole semester to find out her Ethics prof's name, was very indignant about said story. It is reported that she threatened to "break that Cat Calloway (she吧 him) the pillar last week) if she got her hands on him. Said she, "I knew the prof was Hardboiled Smith all atime." Lady, the gentleman's name is TEMPLIN!
Sorrowfully dear readers, we take leave of you for a few days. Think of us during your vacation we beg of you; do lots of things we can tattle about, and we guarantee to help your coffee get rid of that dark brown taste every morning in the new morning Kansan.
LIBRARY NOTICE
All Library books will be due on or before Jan. 31.

MEN MAY TAKE FORMER ALPHA XI DELTA HOME
Negotiations for Purchase or Rental of West Hills Property Are Reported to Be in Progress
PLAN IMPROVEMENTS
New Occupants Expect to Get More Furniture and Redecorate
Contracts for the razing of the remains of the Kappa Sigma house at 1537 Tennessee Street which was destroyed by fire were let today to the Butler Construction and Wrecking Company.
The house will be torn down and the property cleared within 30 days if the weather permits. The basement will be covered over and kept until the plans are adopted for the new house, which will be on the same location of the old one.
The plans have been delayed due to the indecision of the House Building Corporation as to the site to be selected for the new home.
It was reported late today that the fraternity plans to move at the beginning of next semester to the house formerly occupied by the Alpha Xi Delta sorority on West Hills, Charles Lueck Jr., president of the fraternity, could not be reached for a statement concerning this move.
Negotiations are being made this week, according to the rumor, for the purchase or rental of this new location. The size of the present chapter has made it necessary for the chapter to obtain new funding at 643 Tennessee Street since the disastrous fire of last February.
Alpha Xi Delta house, vacated last spring, is one of the newest on the hill, having been built in 1929 and valued originally at $90,000. The house when built was luxuriously furnished. The Kappa Sigs, however, intend to buy additional furniture and redecorate to the amount of $1500 to $2000. They also plan to install a new thermostatically controlled heating system in the house before taking possession of it.
As far as can be learned, this change is due to the efforts of the Kappa Sigma Alumni Association.
The Kappa Sigma house was destroyed Feb. 16 of last year at a loss of $20,000 in property and personal belongings. It was understood at the time that these losses were almost covered by the insurance. Some of the furniture from the house was recovered during the fire.
The fire broke out in the afternoon of Feb. 16. Firemen answered the call promptly, and everyone thought that the fire could be quenched immediately. The flames got in between the brick veneer and the wooden wall and the fire display. Soon they were fleeing the fire from spreading to the Sigma Chi and Phi Beta Pi houses on either side. By midnight the building was a fire-gutted ruin.
It is the policy of the school of business to see that its students obtain increased contacts with fields of study which are becoming of greater importance and concern to the men in business.
A "C" average in professional credit courses was required of candidates for graduation from the school of business, it was decided at a meeting of the faculty recently. The change will involve who complete their works in 1983-87.
BUSINESS SCHOOL GRADUATES MUST HAVE "C" AVERAGE
In addition, all students will be held to the present rule requiring that the total grade points must equal the total hours.
Harold F. Ahlstedt, e. lives at Reedsport, Ore, where he works for the Teufel & Carlson Construction Co., of Seattle, Wash. He may be addressed at Box 307, Reedsport, Ore.
Enrollment to Begin Feb.
It was voted, further, to require Public Finance in all curricula of the school of general business; to require one junior-senior course in both positions; and to prescribe that the course in American government is a pre-requisite requirement.

Three Recommendations Considered by Faculty
Special Student, Language and Survey Courses to Be Debated
Final consideration is expected to be given by the College faculty this afternoon to the report of the committee on special students. The report was presented a week ago, when several of its members were debated and tentatively adopted.
Remaining for discussion are three recommendations of the committee, the first of which would recommend to the University Senate a rule that special students be ineligible for either athletic or non-athletic extra-curricular activities, with a further provision that in the event a student makes regular enrollment (that is, because of illness) taken while under the status of special student be not counted toward the number of hours required to attain eligibility.
In its report the committee says this recommendation is intended to discourage attendance of students who might wish to attain eligibility for some non-academic activities with a minimum of scholastic effort.
The other two recommendations are less closely connected with the problem of special students. One recommendation is that all departments, except foreign languages and the purely professional, offer at least one elementary course, preferably for five hours credit, which is especially designed to impart as comprehensive a knowledge as possible by a beginner, and that no such courses be considered a duplication of a high school course in the same subject.
The committee pointed out that many students avoid the foreign languages in college, after a beginning in high school, because they do not want to learn them here, and yet they do not wish to repeat the elementary course for reduced credit.
A companion recommendation is that the foreign language department offer, for students who have had one or two years of the language in high school only a five-hour course comprising a review of grammar and the reading of simple texts. Such courses, theses, not be counted toward the College requirement of 10 hours of some foreign language.
The same announcement from the Chancellor's office added that Carl L. Nelson, who had been employed as instructor in economics for the university's master's program, will be continued on the University staff for the spring semester.
The leave of absence granted Prof. J. G. Blocker last September, so he could work in the cost-account department of the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee, has been extended for the spring semester.
CARL L. NELSON CONTINUES ON STAFF FOR SPRING TERM

The New York school building will no longer be used for these lectures. The place for this lecture has not been announced. Dr. Berman will be introduced by Dr. W. E. Spalring of Lawrence, Tomorrow afternoon Dr. Berman will speak over radio station WREN, from 2:15 to 2:30.

Regular programs of station KFKU, the University of Kansas broadcasting station, will be continued during the short vacation between semesters.
The discussion period after las week's lecture was omitted so that the speaker, Mr. Ameringer, who had just learned of the death of his father-in-law, could catch a bus home. The open forum after which he began easily so that anyone who so desires may go to the President's ball.

We have planned many changes in the paper so that it will be more readable. We intend to make the news brighter and more accurate, the editorial page more interesting, and the general lay-out more up-to-date. We hope it will please you.
Station KFKU will instain a new speech amplifier in about two weeks. The Western Electric amplifier will replace an old machine that had to be repaired innumerable times. H. G Ingham, director of KFKU, expects the new instrument to improve radio reception from that station 100 per cent
It is our belief that the new Kansan will give its readers a higher service than did the old Kansan. Its news will be fresher, its readability unencumbered by competition, and its comments more timely.

Chancellor Honors Pioneers
Chancellor E. H. Lindley paid a tribute last night to Kansas pioneers and predicted great things for the state in the future at the annual bequest of native sons and daughter in the roof on the wood garden c. the Heel Kauai
Lindley Predicts Great Things for Kansas at Topeka
He told briefly of the discovery and setting of Kansas, pointing out that many were not impressed with it and went on cross because they were reckoning wooded lands similar to that which they had left in the East. The Chancellor said he would want those in Kansas, though, for the state has become a garden spot and is no longer only a bridge from east to west."
He told of his own observations of youth at the University, where many ask for only a job to secure an education. "Some of these students," he said, "eat on as little as 20 cents a day." He also told about the 20 native sons and daughters were at the banquet and heard Chancellor Lindley's talk.

Kansan to Change To Morning Paper With Next Edition
New Publication Schedule Will Make Possible Better Coverage of Campus
The University Daily Kanan will become a morning newspaper next semester, in line with the general among American university publications.
The governing board of the paper decided to make the change since most of the important news happenings on the campus take place in the late afternoon or evening. All news of sports events, club meetings, and lectures has been 24 hours old by the time it was printed. The only timely event that could be put in the archive is the past convocations. Even papers in Kansas City have scored scoops on campus news on the University's own paper.
The advantage of the new system are illustrated in the Sunday edition of the Kansan, which is delivered in the morning. This sheet has always been the most popular of the Daily Kansans. The gridron hero of the day before can wake up and see his name in print while his bruises still hurt. The society hound who hadn't yet recovered from the last night's dance will be reminded of the fact by the morning edition in good time.
These munifold advantages, it is expected, will now be given to all the Kansan readers.
The reporters also will gain by the change, as they will have more time to gather news. Heretofore, morning activities were interfered with reporting activities.
Professor Emphasizes Spending More for Prevention of Delinquency
Dr. Nash Speaks in Topeka
Dr. Bert Nash, associate professor of education at the University and president of the Kansas Mental Hygiene Society, addressed guests at the annual dinner of the Kansas Children's Home Service League in Topaek last night. He emphasized the fact that more money should be spent for the prevention of child delinquency in the state of Kansas. "If society would do this," said Dr. Nash, "it would not be necessary to spend so much for curing it."
"The State of Kansas has never made any provision for preventing delinquency" continued the educator. "It has all been to cure it by the fact that no active Boy Scout was ever put in the Boy's Industrial School."
"Douglas county spent $7,000 to cure child delinquency and nothing to prevent it," stated Dr. Nash. "If 10 per cent of that amount, or only $7,500, had been spent for recreational facilities to prevent such delinquency, it would not have been necessary to spend nearly so much to cure it."
Hoover Announces Schedule

Miss Ruth Hoover announces a full schedule of physical education courses for women next semester. One credit is given when a course is taken both halves. Freshman courses meet two days a week along with graduate courses. Sophomore courses meet three days a week. Students who do not care for credit may audit.
