UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXII NUMBER 83 --signed - Lyman Vocal Methinks Lyman, thou protestet! to muchly! on the SHIN By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35 We Are Attacked! . . . Burrows Gets a Shower! and Wahee Meets Fry . . . Ladies First . . Lost; one Newcomer family. At this moment dear readers, we beg your permission to print our first attack. We now feel like the once-pure W.S.G.A. The grie issues from Alpha Nu of Beta Theta Pi. In your column of this Friday's Kansan, you mentioned the fact that you had received by very remote control a certain remark that I was supposed to have made about Virginia Ewers. The control was obviously very very remote—so remote, in fact, that there isn't a grain of truth in it. I have never made any statements, and have never enven thought such. I do not believe that after knowing this you would want this absurdly untrue remark to go uncorrected, at least I would appreciate such a correction. Respectfully. signed—Lyman Field Lyman, thou protesteth An interesting tale showing who has control in one family came to light the other day. Milton Sanderson, a graduate student in entomology, and his wife had a little bet placed the over day. The Sanderson bison ate a dime that oak trees were not conifers. A conifer dear one is probably a tree which bears cones—something like a pine tree, is it not? Anyway, Milton has quoted Webster and other authorities to the effect that oak trees are conifers, but the Missus has failed to pay up as yet. Thus illustrating that ladies always being their husbands allowed them to and that men are always so, so selfish. ♦ ♦ ♦ The Josephine Burrows Theta gala, who if we can believe Freddy Harris, has recently broken her own standing record, and can now do 10,000 words a minute, or is it a second, by word of mouth, ran into a little difficulty at her house the other night. She was tired of heckling the other upper-classmen so she decided to take a turn at the sleeping porch and see just how she'd come out, but out all right, and she also went in—to the cold shower with all of her clothes on. She'll learn that a freshman huddle is nothing to fewl with. Another from the Theta house concerns Marjorie Wahl. Marjorie was doing her pledge duty of waking the upsers so they could study in the wee hours of the dawning and Dorothy Fry, who it appears sleeps just a trifle soundly, left word behind her name on the list to "shake him down," so that the note must say "shake hand" because Wfy was probably somewhat when she wrote it, so the morning found Marjorie in Fry's room shaking her by the hand vigorously and saying "Get up Dorothy; come on, it's time to get up." Dr. Lee of the journalism faculty came through Thursday and showed the college boys and girls the benefit of going to Yale and learning to be a gentleman. One of the lads, that Sigma Chi Shephard 'twag, wanted to go out to smoke a cigarette during his final so he asked permission from the Doc. We answered a fast to the button and announced that the inmates could go out one at a time and smoke and to let the "ladies go first." At last comes Mysterious Dick Newcomer for his bit of advertising. It seems that Dick went home for a short visit to the family the other day. He entered the house and saw no one at home but thought nothing of it because no one had taken the house or the furniture while he was away at college winning his degree. Imagine his mirthful surprise when upon taking some clothes to the cleaners, he found that about a week before, his entire family had moved to Omaha. Nice to know those things. Nebraska Defeats Denver Lincoln, Nebr., Jan. 26—(UP) —The University of Nebraska defeated Denver University's basketball team 34 to 22 here tonight. LIBRARY NOTICE All Library books will be due on or before Jan. 31. C. M. Baker, Director. Alumni Officials Discuss Graduate Interest Problem Visiting Secretaries Make Campus Tour Following Session in Union Building How to keep alive graduate interest in campus affairs was the main topic of discussion at the regional conference district VI of the American Alumni council yesterday at the Memorial Union building. R. C. Mau, alumni secretary at Emporia Teacher's College lead the discussion, Fred Elsworth, K. U. secretary and host of the convention, spoke on "Organized Alumni Activities" in the afternoon. following the general sessions the University was host to the visitors in tour of the city and campus. Ray E. Ramsey, Nebraksa alumni secretary, leading the discussion on "The Fundamentals of Alumni Organization," stated that he had a mailing list of 51,000 individuals of which 28,000 were graduates and 21,000 former students. He told the secretaries that he kept geographical and alphabetical indices for these people as well as a miniature "Who's Who." At Nebraksa these 51,000 individuals keep an office staff of four busy all the year around. Alumni Office on "News Beat" Frank Cleckler, from the University of Oklahoma, led a discussion on the best ways to enlist the loyalty of college students. Mr. Cleckler said that most secretaries became personally acquainted with the upperclassm en through employment bureaues, Memorial Union jobs, or social contacts. Each alumnia office is on a "news beat" of its college paper, and the more successful secretaries work closely with the editors of college publications. Kenney L. Ford of Kansas State has full charge of the five student loan funds at that school. He said, "We lend about $30,000 a year to Aggie students. Our loans are payable a year after graduation, and we have never yet had the least bit of trouble collecting our money. In addition, our alumni office is known among all the students for this work." Ellsworth Suggests Lower Rates Mr. Ellsworth told the group that he was considering a plan which would enable younger graduates to get cheaper rates. Each alumun now pay three dollars a year for membership in the Alumni Association while life membership now costs $75. If Mr. Ellsworth is successful in his plan, he will have set a precedent. No other association in District VI has reduced its membership fee yet. STUDENTS PLAN TO ATTEND THREE PRESIDENTS BALL LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1935 As a fitting end to a week of finals many students plan to attend the birthday balls for President Roosevelt which will be given Wednesday Jan. 30 in the Crystal Room of the Eldoridge, the Chamber and the Memorial Union Ballroom. Oread fraternities are selling tickets, and a cash prize of $10 will be given to the fraternity selling the most tickets. Dick Gossett, Red Blackburn, and Louie Kuhn's orchestral will play for the balls. We were chosen as members of the Owl Society. We saw fit to accept this privilege. If the Kansan does not agree with the choice of the electing body, we're sorry. Any constructive suggestions, offered by any student of the University or by the Kansan, for the betterment of the Owl Society, will be welcomed. Oscar Ameringer said in his speech last Wednesday that the inherent flaw The list of guarantors and the fact that the Rev. Charles A. Engvall, Unitarian minister here, backed the lecture series, caused the Mirror much The Question More Than 300 Enroll During Four-Day Period Kansas Editor Believes Reds Invading Oread The Mirror says the lecturers are listed in "The Red Network," and describes that book as "an authoritative book on Communist doctrine as part of the inner ring of Soviet leaders working to overthrow the government of the United States and set up a Socialist dictatorship of Russia." The Mirror shivers on in several paraphrases to contemplate this awful result. Approximately 300 seniors, and juniors who are working for a combined degree in law or medicine, availed themselves of the opportunity to enroll early last week, according to the college office. In addition to these, a great many underclassmen, who were seeking information as to enrollment requirements for the second semester, filed in and out of the college office during the four-day period. Change Psychological Exam "A convocation of revolutionary reds" is the phrase used in a recent issue of The Tonganake Mirror to describe the list of League of Industrial Democracy speakers who are appearing before Lawrence and University audiences. Miss Veta Lear, assistant to the dean of the college, stated that she was greatly pleased with the present arrangements for early enrollment and that she believed it will do a great deal to relieve the congestion that always occurs in Robinson gymnasium on enrollment days. Phil Bramwell, Pres. Oscar Ameringer, who opened the L. I. D. lecture series last Wednesday, is listed in the book as "Socialist organizer, indicted under United States Sedition law, member of a radical lobby maintained at Washington, D. C." A self-checking sheet, in the form of a questionnaire-statement, was introduced this year for the combined degree students should eliminate a great number of different outcomes that some of these students encounter before their graduation. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, made the following statement: "This is the first time that we have enrolled combined degree students early. It both the student and the office a much better chance to check on the requirements for their degree." The arrangement is so encouraging that the office plans to continue the practice." The officials in the college office are making a special effort this year to eliminate much of the red tape of enrollment and, in line with this policy, are trying out a number of experiments. New Arrangement to Help Do Away With Previous Congestion Date for Test Changed From Feb. 4 to Feb. 8 Due to a conflict with the time of enrolment, the psychological examination which is required of all undergraduate matriculants will not be given on Monday, Feb. 4, as stated in the catalog, but will be given on Friday, Feb. 8, at 2:30 p.m. in Fraser theater. This is in accordance with an announcement made yesterday by George O. Foster, registrar of the University. The catalog statement to the effect that a student who fails to take the examination before registration must deposit a fee of $5 at the time of registration, and then return it. The student will sign an agreement to take the examination on Friday. of capitalism is the fact that enterprisers in seeking profits must pay workers less than the price of goods. The workers do not have the financial power to buy back the goods they have produced, said Ameringer, The Mirror says an enlightened people "should take some measures to resist a philosophy of property confiscation, a human right, anti-God atheism, free love, nationalization of children, and inter-racial mixture." These terms are not explained by the writer in the Mirror. "Thus," concludes the Mirror, "this lecture course experiment in adult education is really a convolution of revolutionary reds. Allowing people to discuss sedition and treasonable ideas as a freedom of speech is one thing and university is a California public school and university is a rallying point of sedition is another." "If giving our children an education is handing them over to teachers of this stripe, perhaps a little less education of the scholastic variety would be better," she said. The American view point," says we Mirror to end the displeasure." The Answer In answer to the call for constructive suggestions by the officers of the Owl Society, the Kansan suggests that the present members of the organization take it upon themselves to see that the election next spring be free from the influence of machines and that candidates be considered solely from the standpoint of leadership, scholarship and character. Fred Harris, c36, editor-in-chief of the Jayhawk, announced yesterday that the sophomore beauty pictures had been judged by Max Factor and the adjunct would be entered in all papers sometime during the week of Feb. 3. Sophomore Beauties Chosen Max Factors Selection Will Be Announced Feb. 3 A local committee of University met selected the fifteen girls who were finalists in the contest. After the preliminary judging these finalists had new pictures taken at the Hixon Studio and these were mailed to Mr. Factor, the famous Hollywood beauty technician, for final judging. Editor Harris was especially pleased with the fast service rendered by the judge. He stated, "I maligned the pictures Friday, at 3 p.m. by special诊察师." He said it took few minutes after 3 p.m. yesterday. Believe me, girls, that is what I call speed." The pictures of all fifteen candidates will appear in the February issue of the Jayhawker.

Evans, c'35 Registrar Needs Interpreter for Letter From KinGancestar The University of Kansas Jayhawkers went to the free throw line and defeated the Kansas Aggies 43-37 in a slow game here last night. The Wildcats counted 16 field goals while the Jayhawkers made only 15. The Kansas players made good on 13 out of 14 tries at the free throw line. The victory put Kansas in a tie with Oklahoma for the conference lead. The letter reads as follows: KansasumVersitY ToPeKaKansas The game was close until late in the last half when the Jayhawkers pulled away to a good lead only to see the Aggies stage a late rally which was cut short by the final gun. Groves, Aggies center. George O. Foster, registrar of the University recently received a curious letter. It was written in bold handwriting with a very soft-leaded pencil and had been originally addressed to Topeka. The author wrote in his own unique style and cared little for rules of capitalization, spacing. TarboroN.C. NewBornN.C.

Mr. Foster says that he would appreciate receiving a logical interpretation of the message and, also, any advice as to how he should answer it. Carol Luise Widen is employed at the Kansas City Public Library doing desk and reference work and lives in K.C., Mo. and Freeland, Aggie forward, were the scoring stars of the game with eleven points each. Ebling, Kansas forward, was next with nine points. Noble garnered eight points and Wells and Kappleman made six each for Kansas. Clock Fails The Jayhawkers were slow last night, their floor game was ragged and their basket eye was off. The Aggies displayed a much improved team over the team which they displayed here earlier in the season. Neither team discussed the attack, through the game and the defense of both teams leaked at times. STANDING OF THE TEAMS Ebling opened the scoring with a free throw, followed by Kappleman's field goal and Groves retaliated with a basket for the Aggies. Gray made another free throw for Kansas but the Aggies came back to hold a 7-4 lead when seven minutes had been played. The game was a see-saw aftest the rest of W L. Pct. Pet. Pct. Ops.

Kansas led 19-17 at the end of the half. Trouble with the time clock caused the gun to sound three seconds before the end of the half and a mix-up followed. The game continued close until five minutes had been played when the count stalled 21-21. The Jahywahens awakened then and staged a rally to take the score to 31-21. Noble contributed two baskets and Olyver, Gray and Kapple contributed one. Kiman continued streaking with hold a 38-25 lead. 15 minutes were gone. The Aggies came back with a rally that fell short. Ovler Clicking guesses of the University department of athletics at the game were: Lynn Waldorf and Wry Fess both of Kansas State; Joe Bloomer, 23, now on Buffalo baseball team in the International League; Tus Ackerman, Kansas City, Mo.; C. S. Robinson, assistant superintendent of the Kansas City, Mo., schools and his two sons; Bud Kenney, son of Dr. C. R. Kennedy, former Kansas football coach, and two of Bud's undefended Warrenensburg, Mo., high school team; and Paul Fisher of the Kansas City Star. Oxler, who went into the Kansas line up for Ebling played a good game, sinking two baskets and turning in a neat job of guarding. The defensive winger was able to score. The veteran guard was able to score two baskets—beautiful long shots. Kansas fg. ft. mft. pf. tp. mp. Ebling 2 5 1 2 9 19. Noble 3 2 0 1 8 21. Wells 2 4 0 1 8 35. Gray 2 1 0 4 25.
