In this, our period of worry and stress, we think it fitting and proper that little ode to finals, grades, etc. introduce today's pillar . . . can't establish the identity of the author but it's a fair take-off.

A "D" comes easily—and yet,
It isn't easy to forget.

D's are made by boys like me. But only God could make a "B."
Far Mary Kay Dougherty had a date for the dance last Saturday night and therefore, everything was as it should be. But, before going to the dance she felt the need of an aspirin or some other kind of dope and got the wrong pills. In fact she took a tablet. When Sloo asked her if she was ready to go to the varisity she replied that she felt a trifle sleepy and would like to ride around for a few moments first. Well, they rode—clean to Topeka and back and the Dougherty didn't even know it. Milo had his date, they had a varsity, and Dougherty caught up on her sleep.
An interesting story is told by Russ Cheem of the ad writing school. He came to class Monday and one of his weaker sex classmates asked him how his sore foot was. Russ was pretty dumfounded because he'd only observed the blister on his heel the night before when he was getting ready for bed. He asked the lady how she knew he hid a sore foot and she replied that she watched him bandaging it the night before as she was walking home. Russ promises to pull down his shades after this.
There are punsters and there are punsters but Rex Woods is one of the best, or worst, wise-crekkers in the collitch. The other night he greeted us with "Hello, Winchell," and asked whither away or words to that effect. We replied that a show was in order and back came "Well, all right, Winchell we go!" And another time, upon being asked why she a relation Job instead of Esther, he came back with "Well, I tried to write on Esther but she wouldn't hold still long enough?" Verily we say unto you, stink, stink.
Friends of Powell Aubrey and Nancy Calhoun received an awful jolt the other day. Every one knows that Nancy's middle name might easily be "Heckle" because she is such a busy person wherever she may chance to be, but to think of Powell in anything but a serious manner is decidedly not the thing Imagine in Thea house walking through Theta house the other day we chanced upon Powell, and mind you a Powell with shirt front open, no tie, and the like, sitting upon the floor with Nancy playing the revered game of "jacks" as though his life depended on it.

Lyman Field, best known of the Balden daidshawers, spoke to the Corbin Hall girls at dinner last night in the interests of the LLD. After hearing him tell them for about half an hour that they really did not have to attend the forthcoming lectures, the young ladies found out that the admission price would be 25c. All of which made Lyman's speech very useless—or maybe he just went over for the dinner and to see Joan (why -did-you-want this-story-suppressed) Jankowski-
A bit of hash: Yesterday Judy Jenks started to leave the library, got up from her chair and mighty nigh burped her glasses from the schnozola . . . she was carrying a student directory and her face matched it perfectly. She will address all malneds Jiggle Shafen will address all malneds harassment. Anyone who wants advice upon the better method of playing in the Hotel Muehlebach sand piles may apply for same to Ray Anderson.

Mid-Season Finds Big Six Basketball Crown Is Toss-Up
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1935
Oklahoma and Kansas Hole Leading Positions; Missouri Team Out of Running
*Oaks*
W  L  P
Oklahoma ...5 1  .433  Pts. 215 195
Kansas ...4 1  .800  Pts. 191 129
Iowa State ...2 1  .866  Pts. 91 82
Kansas State ...2 1  .904  Pts. 104 108
Kansas State ...2 1  .400  Pts. 154 105
Missouri ...1 1  .166  Pts. 188 208
With the season a little less than half gone the Big Six basketball race is still wide open. None of the six teams can be counted out, however, Missouri and four losers respectively, can hardly be expected to take the championship.
Oklahoma and Kansas are the undisputed leaders so far. Oklahoma is leading by virtue of having played one more game than Kansas. Their only defects have come at the hands of each other when they split a two-game series last week. The fact that Iowa State and Nebraska play only 10 conference games while the rest of the teams play 16 may effect the outcome of the race. A game between both teams would nearly Ohio State and Nebraska shift to the other teams.
Iowa State is the team for Oklahoma and Kansas to watch. They have the most impressive pre-season record in the nation, and they always put out dangerous teams.
Missouri, although out of the championship running, came back and stopped Nebraska and may be effective in changing the outcome of the race considerably. They have been strengthened by return of Schaper, center to the court.
Kansas State in defeating Nebraska gave warning that they were still in the league and had to be counted in the final standings. The fact that they were able to get more than one man in the scoring column helped their stock a lot.
Oklaahoma and Kansas are still the class of the conference and the odds are on them coming down the stretch for a win. It's likely they'll flavor Kansas to be first in that finish.
SOCIOLOGY DEPARTMENT GETS BOOK OF FORMER PROFESSO
A book was recently received here by the department of sociology which was written by the former head of that department at the University, Dr Stuart A. Queen.
Professor Queen is now head of the sociology department at Washington University in St. Louis. He has collaborated with Walter B. Bodenhafer also of Washington University and Ernest B. Harper of Vanderbilt University. The book is called "Social Organization and Disorganization."
The brigadier general in command was not greatly surprised, when the owner of the pigs one morning notified him of their absence.
On the previous night some men have gone out foraging. Mr. Winter, being an honorable man, did not go. The men were in the barnyard when they heard a dog bark. Becoming frightened, they picked up the whole plano-box
Superstition Plays Part in Winning Say Prominent University Athletes
Baseball players have their sore arms, football players their "Charley horses," basketball men their floor burns, prize fighters their black eyes and track men pulled muscles, but they all have one thing in common: that superstitions play a big part in the winning or losing of many contests.
Some soldiers were growing tired of their rations at Camp McKinisley, Augusta. Ga., during the Spanish War, Calvert Winter was one of them. Some pigs were growing fat too, too obviously in a barkyard near the camp.
Professor Winter spent the rest of his service in three army camps. Although he never fired a shot at anything but targets, his experiences are varied and interesting to the new generation.
Faculty Member, Spanish-American War Veteran.Recalls Experiences With Stolen Pigs and Liquid Corn
Foraging Party
By Theno Graves, c'35
The first of four sketches based on the Spanish War experiences of Calvert Winter, associate professor of Spanish, appears below.
When Dr. F. C. Allen, athletic director, was asked what his pet superstition was he replied, "I don't have any I think they are the bunk." Dr. Allen did admit, however, that he sometimes played hunches. "You make your own luck," he added. "The way to win is to fight."
Mr. Winter, who is a student of Spanish culture, first became interested in Spain while bearing arms against her. He enlisted in the Naval Reserve Corps at Cleveland in June, 1898 He desired action, however, and managed his transfer to Company 1 of the 10th Ohio Infantry which, he thought, might be sent overseas.
O'Leary Retained Pants
Daughter of Zoology Professor Awarded John Lovett Morse Prize
Miss Baumgartner Honored
Many superstititions do emanate, nevertheless, from basketball training camps, and other kinds of training
Dr. Leona Baumgartner, '23 g25, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. W. J. Baumgartner, who has the internship from Cornell University at the New York Hospital, has been awarded the 1924 John Lovett Morse prize for outstanding research work done in pediatrics. Dr. Baumgartner's thesis, "Ages and Antibody in Production," was chosen by the New England Pediatrics Society as the outstanding piece of work done in the field this year.
After receiving her A.B. and A.M. degrees from the University of Kansas, Ms Baumgartner studied at Yale University, where she received her M.D. and Ph.D. She recently was sent as a representative from the New York Hospital to a convention on pediatrics in Boston.
L.I.D. Series Opens Tonight
Paul B. Lawson, de of the college of liberal arts and professor of entomology, will act as chairman this evening at 8:15 p.m. in the New York School, Tenth and a series of West Streets where the first of a new series of six lectures on the subject of cooperation with the League for Industrial Democracy will be given.
Oseur Ameringer, editor of "The American Guardian" and called "Oklahoma's Will Rogers," will speak on "Two Years of Roosevelt." He was scheduled to speak this afternoon before students and townpeacemen at Baldwin. Transportation to and from the auditorium which is four short blocks east of Massachusetts, will be furnished. Further information may be found in the official University bulletin.
Dean Lawson To Serve as Chairman at Ameringer Lecture
Margaret Uttl. fa'37, pianist, will play Lizzt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 4 just before the lecture begins. Tickets must be purchased at the door.
The animal was liquidated and hidden in the company oven by an old German cook. Later the cadav器 was baked a la Charles Lamb. When his periphrastic brother tried Winter, if he would have roasted pig. The latter refused.
The innocents talked almostly while the O.D. poked and peered about. The oven escaped his glance, but roast pork has an aroma, and this must not have escaped the officer's nostrils. He opened the oven. Everyone looked in it.
This bit of philosophy might haw-taken its inful toll had not the Office of the Day appeared at the moment to make an investigation for the brigadier. The pig was still in the oven, and there it stayed.
"Vell," the cook said, "if youvon't eat idt somevun else vill!"
Reprimands and punishment ensued, by order of the general. The whole company was placed under arrest unanimously. The company, however, was broke.
The captain had five dollars. Winter, a guitlist but thrifty man, also had five dollars. The pig was on one side of the scales of Justice and the company was on the other. Winter and the captain paid.
"My Lord!" the cook exclaimed "Und how did dot get dere?"
Mr. Winter cannot recall exactly what happened to the pig. Perhaps the professor got indigestion.
quarters. One of the most common is that of putting on the right or left shoe last when dressing for a contest. In regard to shoes, Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, says he never changed football cleats throughout an entire year after the season was once started. Dr. Naismith tells of a college teammate who had a good record of placekicks until he changed shoes. After the change, the kicker's efficiency dropped 75 per cent.
Ted O'Leary, former All-Big Six basketball player, probably had more superstitions than any other Kansas athlete. He would not change basket-ball pants throughout a full season. He believed nothing would bring bad luck so quickly as killing the bugs of a game. He always insisted, too, upon being the last person to shoot a basket before a game officially started. Ted would take several shots if necessary to rink the loop.
Parents Bother Ebling
Some basketball men believe they will not be able to score in a contest if they are "too hot" during the warm-up before game time. Gordon Gray, veteran Jayhawk guard, is an advocate of this superstition. Ray Edling, last year's winner at Oklahoma City play as well when he knows his parents are watching him. Ray's parents are great followers of the game, and they watch their son in many games. Ray, however, does not know this until after the game.

Joe College calls his girl friend "Lost and Found" nowadays, says the Dark Illini. Joe took Betty ecking the other night and for lack of better entertainment examined the contents of her purse. From his research he garnered the title. Here's why:
Fee slip, mirror, ticket, matches, A.A. book, pack of cigarettes, compact, handkerchief, comb, 6 penels, fountain pen, rouge, busie slug locker combination, hair pins, bobby pins, and various sundry materials.
Amazed by his findings, Joe decided to look further into the matter. How

Joe commended to "tazz" Betty. Betty became indignant and challenged him to reveal the contents of his pockets. Here's what she found:
Now Joe has a new name, too. Betty calls him "Junk Yard Joe."

Rules for Special Students Revised By College Faculty
Undergraduates Not Intending to Get Degree Will Benefit if Plan Carries
The College faculty at its meeting yesterday afternoon took steps to codify the College rules respecting special students. Several of the 10 recommendations of the special committee were discussed and tentatively approved. The faculty will meet again next Tuesday. Final action will be taken, to the end that the new regulations may be effective next semester.
Prof. A. W. Davidson, chairman of the committee, reports to the faculty that the committee had found two classes of students who might well profit by the "special student" status in the College, and to meet their needs, the modifications of existing regulations were suggested.
"We believe that the unrestricted freedom of choice of courses by all students would be incompatible with the main purpose of the College," says the committee report. "We are in favor of increasing the interest and usefulness of the University to sincere students who, for one reason or another, cannot become candidates for a degree, but who are obliged to prolonging the attendance of those who are unable or unwilling to meet our scholastic standards."
May Enter Several Schools
The committee pointed out that there is one group of students who for financial or other reasons expect to attend college but one or two years, and who have either a definite vocational objective, or special interest not necessarily confined to a single school of the University.
Another group consists of students who because of health, previous training, or lack of ability in some fields, find it difficult or impossible to follow the rounder course for a degree, but do so through paring certain courses with profit.
To aid these groups in getting from the College the maximum of benefit, the committee has proposed the following regulations, which have been tentatively accepted by the College faculty:
1. Permit students of less than 21 years of age to enter as special students if there are no entrance deficiencies and they have permission of their parent or guardian. The Dean of the College is authorized to recommend students for the special student status and require a separate course of enrollment as a regular student.
2. The Committee on Special Students is to be enraged to a membership of at least three, to permit more conferences and to allow admission to the special student status.
To Require Rhetoric
3. Students not candidates for degrees are subject, in their first year of residence, to the regular rhetoric requirements.
4. When a student changes from special to regular enrollment, no credits nor grade points may be applied toward a degree for any courses which the student would normally take as a student, except upon petition to the Administrative committee.
5. Special students in the College will be permitted to enroll in other Schools of the University, subject to approval of school and department concerned.
The question of whether or not special students may be eligible to participate in extra-curricular activities, allowance, up for discussion at the next meeting.
The committee recommends that departments, aside from those of foreign languages, offer at least one five-hour course, elementary in nature, but designed to give a comprehensive view of the field of that department, and not be a specialized prerequisite for further work in that department.
Foreign language departments are asked to offer a review course for college credit for those who may have had lessons in high school in 'hose languages.
