--all they want, and especially as there is no radical threat to them now?" Digressing further, he said that everyone from EPIC followers to left-wing socialists must unite before the masses can profit from their work. "But the socialist movement is everywhere gaining power—in California's EPIC, in Minnesota's farmer-labor party, and in the regular party."

A Visit to the Hospital . . . The Delta Tau's . . . and More Funny Ones from a Prof. . . The Boys Take Castor Oil . . . We Discover Competition.
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
Channing to visit the hospital the other day several questions were inspired as we sat waiting for the doctor. The main thing of interest at the moment that the doc chose us was, why a medicine man will always put so darned much more tape on you than you would put on yourself? Guess the answer is simple enough though. It doesn't hurt, then any when they jerk it off of you. They've really got a good game over there for students who are waiting for their pills and powders. All you have to do is sit in the hall and watch the doctors and nurses go in one door, and then guess which one they'll come out of. The bad part of it is that you're always wrong.
Overheard at the varsity: "I wish I were a Beta."
"Why?" "Oh, so I could come up here without a date and then be flies in everybody's soup."

Carl Helman of Delta Tau pulled a neat fasty the other day. There was something about a pin to be given to Barbara Everham and Carl apparently thought a Sig Eip pen he had was better looking than his own Delt badge so he up and gave it to Everham. Contrary to all expectations, no civil war was started but we haven't heard yet that she's given the Sig Eip badge back here.

Speaking of Delta Tau's reminds us of one who got the tables turned on him the other day. Professor Axe was lecturing upon cases of fraud in business law class and McCann, the Delt, related to him the story of Uncle Danny Drew who was selling some cattle to Vincent Astor. He fed the cattle salt, then drank a lot of water and naturally sold for more. Said McCann, "Was that a case of fraud?" The prof. came back, "No that sounds more like a case of water stock to me."
A long suspected fact about college people was conclusively proven to be the other day by Dr. Cautenus. In one ward, room, or something at the hospital were several cases of male necades, meaning that those who had said necades were college ladies instead of lassies, and those selfmade ladies were cutting up a bit, disobeying all orders, and just in a general way driving their nurses to distraction. The nurses finally just gave up and left informing Dr. Cautenus that nothing could be done with the high-schoolers thereupon. The Doc, administered a good-size dose of castor oil to each patient, and we hear that the ward has been relatively quiet ever since.
Miss Elliott of the Spanish department had a little rebellion all her own this week. She has been done, borrowed, and chumped out of so many pencils by her loving students that all of them are one of those big affairs about a foot long and an inch thick. The rebellion is successful so far.
We hear of a competitor at the Acacia house in the form of a semi-weekly newspaper written upon Winchell lines which puts the boys on the grid-iron and makes them watch their actions and stuff. The paper is called "I. C. Plenty" and is cut in the form of a keyhole. The funny part of the business is that no one knows who the shearer is, the painter, and what because the sheet is printed in the deep, dark, dead of night and so for the peeers through keyholes haven't been caught at their dirty work.
Last Student Recital Held
The last of the advanced student recitals was given last night in the Administration auditorium. Two numbers, the voice number by Clairce Slaan, fa 35, and the violin number by Mildred Holcomb, fa 35, were cancelled because of sickness.
All special validation students of the College should make an appointment at the College office as soon as possible for programs for next semester.

Dr. Allen Believes Sooners Will Win Conference Title
Oklahoma Cagers Have Defeated Kansas Once and Missouri Twice in Crucial Games
"Okahama occupies the most enviable place in the Big Six basketball race, with excellent chances for winning the championship," said Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Kansas basketball coach today.
In support of his argument, Dr. Allen points out that Oklahoma has already defeated Missouri twice on the difficult Brewer Field house court, and decisively defeated Kansas in the second of the two-game series here. Oklahoma will be at home for two games with Missouri and two with Kansas.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1935
"To call the present Sooner team a 'green or rookie' group makes me laugh," continued Dr. Allen. In the two games with Kansas here, four seniors, two juniors, and five sophomores were on the floor for Oklahoma.
Sooner Team 'No Kobe Team'
"The wily scot, Hugh McDermott, the nanny of the Lymn Waldorf," simply pulling a "Lynn Waldorf," said Dr. Allen. "Just as Waldorf asked that 'last place be reserved for the Agigies,' so McDermott is talking of his 'rookie' team. The Kansas State football team a year ago was in second place, and then came through for the champion, but not in the beret, that Oklahoma last year, was tied with Missouri for second place in the basketball list.
"Furthermore, McDermott's team is made up from the three Oklahoma basketball capitals, Oklahoma City, ElReno, and Enid. In the first game here, Francis Cobb, senior, led the Sooners with four field goals and a free throw. Browning, a senior, and all-state selection, led the Oklahoma attack the second night with 15 points. Stanley Tyler and Don Hays, two other seniors, contributed materially Oklahoma's advancement. It was Warren and Don Hays who last year replaced Ervy! Bross and Percy Main when the Oklahoma boys were going at top speed."
Four Seniors On Squad
Kansas, on the other hand, has only two seniors, Dick Wells and Gordon Gray. Kansas lost two seniors last year who definitely contributed to her championship success, Paul Harrington and Earnest Vanek. "Harrington's marvelous floor work is sadly missed this year," said Dr. Allen.

Professor Winter's Forgetry Fails To Pass Wily M.P. at Camp Mead
No Future for Students. Visitor Tells Reporter
Second of a series of the Spanish American War experiences of Prof. C. J. Winter of the Spanish department.
"The future of the college student? He hasn't got one!" declared Oscar Ameringer after his talk last night in an interview granted while riding from New York school to the bus station. He departed for Springfield Ill.
In the fall of 1898 Professor Winter was at Camp Meade, Harburg, Pa. He was enjoying himself, with 24-hour provost guard duty, patrolling the camp. After this work a soldier was usually given a pass which allowed him to spend an evening in town. Mr. Winter always took advantage of this opportunity, but one time he failed to receive his just reward. The officer in charge had run out of passes and did not think Hamburg would suffer too much if Winter stayed away for a week. Now, after 24 hours of guard duty without reward, a man can be driven to desperate means. He took an old pasa be had not used, forged a new date on t, and went to town.
YANK OR REBEL?
In discussing the relation of students to present-day problems, he said, "They need more education before they can wisely meet the economic situation. Then I think they will better understand the purpose of a socialist state."
As for Fascism, he has no fears of it. "Why should capitalists here support such a thing, when they already have

Jayhawk Alumni to Hold Kansas Day Celebrations
Gen. Hugh Johnson to Talk at New York City Meeting
Meetings will be held over the enriched United States Jan. 29 to celebrate Kansas Day. Some of these meetings will be strictly University alumni meetings while others will be combined University and Kansas State meetings or just meetings of former Kansans. University graduates will take the lead in all of them according to Fred Elsworth, secretary of the alumni association.
These meetings will be hold at Wichita, Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Fort Worth, New York City, Boulder, Salt Lake City, and Akron, Ohio on Jan 29. There will also be a meeting at Philadelphia on Feb. The meetings will be at New York City where Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former head of the NRA, will deliver the main address.
The alumni office has sent folders and Jayhawks out to these meetings. One of the original Jayhawks has been sent to the Chicago meeting because of the fine work the alumni association has done there. It will be given to some graduate. Other memes include little clay Jayhawks, pin trays, song cards and books, story of the Rock Chalk yell and of the origin of the Jayhawk, picture books of the University, and air views of the campus.
Fred Elkworth, who has attended many such meetings, tells of the interest shown in them by grades. Stories are told of his other things. Are told of by the alumni.
Meeting
NUMBER 82
After talking at Springfield and Louisville Mr. Ameringer will go to Washington. There he expects to meet the New Dealers, especially members of the brain trust. Of these he admires in particular Tugwell and Berle.
Gleem Cunningham's entry blank for the Milrose games to be held in Madison Square Garden in New York City, Feb. 2, reached New York yesterday, and his team's race made between Bill Bournhorn, Princeville mile ace, and the Kansas flyer.
To Meet Bonthron Feb. 2
The Kansas miler has been training for the past two weeks on the University of Iowa track. He left yesterday for the East, where he plans to enter several meets before returning to enroll as a graduate student in the physical education department of that university on Feb. 4.
Cunningham will meet Bbonn on the Wammanmaker Mile, which he has two won. In 1953 he went the disheartened mark to 11.21; in 1954 he lowered the mark to 4.121.
Cunningham Will Run Against Princetonian in Millrose Games
turning a corner under a street light, he almost knocked a military policeman off his feet. That individual did his duty for the Stars and Stripes and called for the pass. Winter produced it. The M.P. saw nothing wrong and was about to return the paper of paper when on sudden impulse he held it up to the light. The forgery stood out against the old date mark.
The language of the monologue that ensued is not in the dictionary. Winter, with a hitherto unstained record, began to plead. We prepared a hard luck story that would have put a back-stockbum to shame. He wo wanted to go home to his mother when they were young. He turned for some reason. Finally, the policeman weakened.
"what outfit ya from?" he asked.
"The 10th Ohio," Winter answered.
"You know, the game's not from that blankety- I背印 Virginia regiment, I will let you go."
Lloyd Wright and His Boys May Sleep on Oread Hillside Tonight
The policeman, Mr. Winter will tell you, was from Minnesota.
A truck and eleven automobiles will come to Lawrence some time this evening bearing Frank Lloyd Wright and the 30 members of his Taliesin fellowship en route to the desert regions of Arizona.
Outfitted with sleeping bags, the members of the fellowship may spend the night on the slope of Mt. Orcad. The temperature will not bother them as the weather of Wisconsin brings a chilly day that Lawrence cannot hope to equal.
George M. Beal, associate professor of architecture, who spent last summer on Wrights Tallison estate, has invited me to visit his home "if they can all get inside."
Professor Bcal said the fellowship will continue its work in Arizona where they will take over the operation of a now defunct hotel for living quarters. They will return to Taliesin about April 1.
Debate Finals March 1 and 2
Teams from Dozen Kansas Districts to Come to University
Final debates in the Kansas High School Debating League will be held at the University March 1 and 2, announced H. G. Ingham, director of University extension, and secretary of the debating league. Finalists in classes A and B will be selected in the 12 debating districts by a series of district championships, to be scheduled for dates between Feb. 8 and 22.
A total of 140 high schools are enrolled in the State Debate League this year, representing an increase in the number to each of the two preceding years.
All debates are on the question of federal aid to equalize educational opportunity among the several states. That the question is both interesting and timely is indicated by the fact that a larger number of students are participating in various activities in schools and that a much greater number than usual preseason or practice debates have been scheduled this year.
For the debate work, the high schools of the state are divided into two classes, Class A Including the schools with larger enrollments, and Class B, the schools with less than 200. Of the schools entered in the league this year, 71 are enrolled in Class A and 69 in Class B.
Freid Harris, editor of the Jayhawk,

Forty Students Enrolled In Course in Natural Gas
Extension Division Study Prepared for Junior Engineers
More than 40 students have been enrolled in the course in natural gas given jointly by the extension division of the University of Kansas and the American Gas Association. These students are from all parts of the United States. The course was well attended last October when C.M. Young of the department of mining at the University, had spent four years in preparation of the course of study. The course is highly technical, and the fees are four to five times as high as for ordinarily correspondence courses. It is designed for "juinien engineers," that is, graduates of engineering schools with an interest in gas engineering or for men who have had some field practice without technical training.
One of the students in the course, correspondence developed, is not an engineer at all, but a lawyer in the oil and gas regions of Pennsylvania. In explanation of his failure to send in the "assignments" he said he had taken the course to aid him in his law practice. He added that in a recent case, the information he had obtained from the course more than repaid the cost of enrollment. He said he hoped to get to the assignments, but if he did not, for the extension division not to put him down as a dissatisfied customer.
Summer Term Schedule Out
Catalogue of Courses Will Be Available Late in February
The director of the Summer Session Dean Raymond Schweiger, dean of the School of Education, has just issued a preliminary schedule of classes for summer school this year. This list is tentative and subject to change before issuance of the report. The report will help those students who are planning their second semester's work in conjunction with summer school studies.
The summer session will open June 12 and run for eight weeks, until Aug. 7. The School of Law will offer its work in two terms of five weeks each; June 11 to July 13; July 15 to Aug. 17. The work offered by the summer school is identical with that of the regular university courses. Competent instructors and free use of all University facilities ensure a standard grade of work on more than 200 courses. All the schools of the University except those of pharmacy and religion are offering courses this year.
Laurel Allen to Be in Play
Graduate Will Have One of Leads in "Yankee Crusader"
Lauren Aller, 34, will have one of the leading parts in "Yankee Crusader," a play by Prof. Allen Crafton professor of speech and theater arts, which will be the next production of the Kansas Players. Miss Allen has been with the Town Hall Players of Kansas City, Mo., since early fall.
Professor Crafton has had a difficult time casting the play. Two persons qualified for Miss Allen's part, but from sickness, and other engagements, were unable to keep the part. There are 26 speaking characters in the play. The complete cast will be announced Jan. 29.
Rehearsals have been dismissed during final examinations, but work has already begun on the settings for the play.
New Deal Will Not Return Prosperity, States Ameringer
Capitalism Has No Enemy Outside of Itself, PropONENT of Commonwealth Says
"Capitalism has no enemy outside of itself. It is not morally or ethically wrong; it simply doesn't work. It is mathematically impossible." Thus did Oscar Ameringer, in opening the League for Industrial Democracy lecture series at the University of Texas last fall to believe that the Roosevelt "New Deal" would fail to revive prosperity under the existing system. Speaking on "Two Years of Roosevelt," the editor of "The American Guardian" and well-known proponent Guardian and well-known proponent of the co-operative commonwealth said that, while there were more than a century since Washington's administration, the New Deal methods were like "putting dry socks on a drenned man."
After his introduction by Dr. Paul Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Mr. Ameringer drew an analogy between the economic system and a poker game: "If it goes on long enough, everybody loses but the house. When all credit is used up and all overcasts are pawned, the question is, did the game stop because of a lack of money for a player, because of addition of poker chips, or because all the players were broke? And then, how to renew the game without taking money from the house to give it back to the players?"
Mass Has No Purchasing Power
Mr. Ameringer described the inherent flow of capitalism as the fact that enterprises in seeking profits must pay workers less than the price of goods. Looked at collectively, the workers, who are the mass of consumers, then do not have the power to purchase goods, since their total wages are not as high as the total prices of commodities.
The speaker also denied anything original about the Roosevelt policies. "His social legislation program was proposed in 1879 by German's 'Iron Chancellor', Prince Bismarck. It included old age pension, unemployment insurance, and even government welfare. It was based on workers' right to work. Bismarck's plan was to save his monarchy; Roosevelt's is to save plutocracy."
Then Mr. Ameringer attacked the insanity and sin of a country being able to produce all it needs and still allowing starvation. "We are like worms starving because the apple we are in is too big for us, or like a bedding who dies because he has three lumberjack's o'chew on instead of one."
Solution in Commonwealth
The only way out of our troubles, he believes, is to operate commonwealth, with production for use. This need not be attained by confiscation of property. He cited George Soule's figures that five billion dollars would at the present buy all our national corporations, so that we are necessary to destroy the savings of doors and children and J. P. Morgan.
Five more lectures will be given before the end of February. A study class for discussion of problems that speakers bring up is being organized by the faculty leadership. Any interested person can call the Memorial Union lounge.
To Visit Children's Wards
Professors Wahl, Neff, and Russell Gather Data on Hospitals
Dr. H. R. Wahl, dean of the School of Medicine, Dr. F. C. Neff, professor of pediatrics, and F. A. Rusell, professor civil engineering, left Kansas City, Kan, this morning on an inspec- tion to gather data on children's hospitals.
The probable route of the trip, which will take about a week, will include hospitals in town City, St Louis, Chicago and any available hospitals in cities further east.
The purpose of the trip is to gather information that will help in the design of a proposed children's ward at Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City. The hospital made gift of $60,000 to Bell Memorial has made the children's ward a possibility.
LIBRARY NOTICE
All Library books will be due on or before Jan. 31.
