The Weather . . . a Field Takes a Fall . . . Smith Gets a Decoration . . . the Bramwell is Elected . . . Stop us if You've Heard this . . . At the Varsity.
'Its cold, gold, blowed, road, good, and we're getting off the subject somewhat but it is still cold in case you have not heard. With the entrance of this new kind of weather have appeared several bad cases of ear-muffs, scarfs tied around ears, diseases which may be added to the measles cases now on file in the reserve room at the hospital. One of the more peculiar sights enjoyed yesterday morning was a fellow dressed neatly from head to foot in coat, suit, felt hat, and whatever else follows who dress neatly wear with a pink and white turkish towel adorned with many figures tied up their neck to keep out the chill breezes.
Speaking of funny sights reminds us of the tale told us by our chief keyhole peepers about Gertrude Field. Seems that the other day Gertie was studying in the library and had her chair tipped back for comfort's sake or something while she was reading. Now of course you know what follows—the lady fell you'll say, and you're right, but the teller the tale holds that Gertrude fell high over her shoulder when she thereby making the story a few feet more interesting and the conduct all the less becoming to a member of Pi and Beta and Phi.
Charles Smith, a recent pledge to Phi Psi and a mean story-teller himself, had an interesting mishap the other night. Chuck has been posing for the life class, which is a paint daubing meeting and has nothing to do with swimming, and he made the mistake of sitting down to rest in a chair which had some paint on it. Naturally enough, Chuck didn't care for the wet paint idea, especially where that paint would be attached to it. Donnahepenton to remove it with turpentine. The moral is that Chuck still doesn't believe that the paint is all that came off.
A good story has been going the rounds of the Journalism building lately. Seems that an old fellow from Arkansas had been to look over the state university and had a serious report to make to his fellow townships upon his return. He reported that at the school they not only practice co-education, but forced the dear sweet young girls to matriculate. They were also required to attend the curriculum. Said a voice in the back of the room, "How long has this been going on?"
The K. U. representatives to the student legislature at Manhattan last week proved their worth by refusing to back with no members in an office. Their candidate for Speaker of the House was defeated but good old Phil "Regularity" Brannwil saved the day by getting himself elected doorkeeper.
Believe it or Not; Pi Mi's NEVER combine "—Miss Ruth Stolland will probably not be at home if you call for proof.
Ran into a very fawny sign at the Cottage the other day. In large letters at the top of the window was the word "Free"—the sign then continued with "Free five-cent drink with any 15c sandwich"—but not at meal time?" we wonder how bad they want to give away those robes?
At the Varsity: Well, we've finally been to the last vassity of the semester and they seem to moot it this time. "Twas merely a venture on the part of the dance manager and Maeso Gossett—they both hoped they'd be rewarded for trying to keep our minds off of finals until the last minute, and they were. A nice crowd attentions me, but the music was small, and everything as was everything should be, so help us. . . Charley McCreight is certainly a familiar figure at varities. . . he's the fellow who has the most outstanding moustache in the business office, and who sells your dance tickets to you, only to be there in time to take them back. . . shouldn't be surprised if he's chief assistant at the Pearly Gates some time. . . was a most enjoyable sight to see buxom Georgie Guernsey and Margaret Peake in one of the more out-of-the way corners of the ballroom—guess that's what it was supposed to be. . . the usual burging and running by Haughey Inc. and a wery good party considering both this an dhat.
Student Hospital Treating Several Kansas Courtmen
Wellhausen With Measles Shaffer Down With Flu, Wells and Gray Also Ailing
Jayhawker basketball stock took a drop this morning with the announcement that Al Willhausen, 6 ft 7 in. understudy for Dick Wetts at the pivot position is confined to the hospital with the messles. This definitely put the long tail boy out of the Kansas before Willhausen will likely recover, it is feared that his scholastic standing and eligibility may be affected.
Dr. Allen will also be mines the pinch-hitting services of Shaffer who has not sufficiently recuperated from his recent illness of the flu to be available. Dick Wells is still favoring an injured foot received in the Oklahoma game and it is dofulful if this veteran player will be fully recovered for Saturday night's game. Gordon Gray, regular guard, who is bothered with a sinus infection is still under observation at the hospital.
Since the Jayhawk defeat at the band of Oklahoma, Dr. Allen has been carefully pointing out the mistakes that game management made in the Big Six Championship.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1935
Kansas State came back with a vengeance last night to break a conference losing streak of four straight games by beating Nebraska 47-41. As far as the Aggies are concerned this does not look like Nebraska's year. Jim Freeland, 6 ft four-inch for the Aggies at 38, scored 17 of their 31 points will merit plenty of attention from the KU. quintet. Any team that scores 47 points in a Big Six conference game will not be taken lightly by Dr. Allen and his crew.
Ry E张ing, Kansas forward, and Bud Browning, Oka. guard, with 57 points each are leading in individual scoring in the Big Six basketball战. Jorgenson, Missouri guard, trails in third place with 50 points.

ALUMNI TO HAVE BANQUET
AFTER GAME WITH WASHBURN
An alumni meeting will be held in Topeka, Feb. 5, following the basketball game between Kansas and Washburn in the first informal, similar to the one held last year.
Last year the basketball team had dinner at a teatroom after the game, and the alumni ordered their dinners upon arrival in the dining room. There were no reservations and the whole affair was entirely informal. Prominent alumni who attended last year's meeting were Governor Landon, '04, Judge Wade Thiele, c10, E. C. Young, student in 1890b, and the篮球asketball burials in special speeches were given. While all plans have not been made for this year's affair, it promises to be very entertaining.
The School of Fine Arts will present the first of the yearly advanced student recitals tonight in the University auditorium at 7:30 o'clock. The program will include compositions from Bach, Lecuna, Batten, Stickler, Wagner-Wilhelm), Handel, Mendelssohn, Groebel, Bizet, Debussy, Rameau-Kreisler, Blitz Fairchild-Duskin, Guoun, Liszt, and

'CONTACTS' ONLY REQUISITE FOR BERTH IN OWL SOCIETY
By Virginia Post, c'37
"Good luck, Freshmen! We anxiously await the opportunity to initiate those of you who are outstanding in scholarship and extra-curricular activities." A former Owl Society president, a full page advertisement inserted by the Owl Society, in the 1933-34 K-book.
So-Called Junior Men's 'Honor' Organization Provides Plenty of 'Plums' for Mt. Oread Politicians
Any idealistic freshman, however, would be greatly disillusioned to know that this junior honor organization serves merely as a means of satisfying men political party greeds and satis- taining the fraternales' desire for activities.
Qualifications for membership in this honor society for junior men supposedly include leadership, scholarship, and strength of character. These are alleged to be the requisites necessary for Owl election; so they are listed in all campus publications. They are also, the essential qualities upon which any honor society should be based. These requirements have been obviously ignored in past elections to the Owl Society. Upon interviewing both past and present members of this organization, the only qualifications for
Prof. Buehler Sets Dates For Oratorical Contests
The Freshman-Sophomore Oratorical Contest will be held Feb. 26, and the Junior-Senior Contest will follow on March 7, Prof. E. C. Buchler, professor of speech and dramatic art, announced today.
This is the fourth year the contests have been held. Anyone interested in entering the contest are asked to see Professor Buehler for particulars.
Freshman and Sophomore Speeches Will Be Held Feb. 26
The contests are open to both men and women students and $10 in cash prizes will be awarded, $15 to the winner of each respective content and $10 to the second place winner. The Freshman phomore contest will be given the limit of 10 minutes and the Junior-Senior orators will have 12 minutes.
The winner of the freshman-sophomore contest last year was Lyman Field, c'36, and the winner of the junior-senior contest was Edward Powers, '135.
election which seemed apparent to them were perhaps a C-average and affiliation with the right political and social organizations.
Carolyn Harper, c'35, was chosen by the Kansan Board yesterday afternoon to succeed Max Moxley, c'35, as managing editor of the University Daily Kansan. Joseph Doctor, c'35, was appointed editor-in-chief to succeed Wesley McCalla, c'35. These appointments for the duration of one-half semester.
Election to membership in this organization is described in the 1934 Jay hawker as "the highest honor that the
To illustrate the fact that the Owl Society is organized along political lines, it would be well to review the party affiliations of Owl members of the past two years. In 1353 this honor organization initiated 27 members out of that year's junior class. Of the 27 initiates, 22 belonged to the Pachacamaca group and 5 belonged with the Oread-Kayhawk group. The following year, in 1934, 21 men were elected into the Owl Society; four were enrolled by the Oread-Kayhawks, and 17, by the Pachacamaacs. This 9:48 rate for the past two years makes the remark in the K-book a misrepresentation of true facts. Of these same 48 Owl members, 33 belonged to organized social fraternities—non-fraternity men. These facts emphasize the union conditions which dominate the junior-men's honor society.
DOCTOR AND HARPER TO HEAD POSITIONS ON KANSAN STAFF
Mr. Doctor has served as associate editor of the Kansan and is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity. Miss Harper has served as society, campus, and Sunday editors, and is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and Theta Sigma Phi, journalistic sorority.
Dean George C. Shad of the School of Engineering and Architecture, is still confined to his home, suffering from an attack of influenza. Last Friday Dean Shad remained at home thinking that he had a bad cold that could have been a day or so. He expects, however, to back to his duties in a few days.

Mystery of the Missing Tooth Ends in Good Belly Laugh
Spectators at one of the more exciting intramural basketball games had night enjoyed a good laugh when a freak acorn stopped the game for a few minutes.
Two boys were racing from opposite ends of the court when they met in a head-on collision. When they finally collided, both boys were severely one boy was minus a tooth.
A search was instigated for the missing incisor but without success. The tooth, finally discovered by the leser, was lodged in the forhead of his opisthosis. It was buried and all hard fellings goose, the game was finished without further mishap.
Present Miners With Gift
Elaborate Equipment Given to Mining and Engineering Department
The Foxbora company, manufacturers of meters and gauges, has given the mining and engineering department of this University a very elaborate set of equipment for measuring gas. Company officials asked C. M. Young, professor of mining and engineering for exact specifications for this equipment, to provide an auditor with their own judgment. L. K. Spikl, a former University student, is a manager of the meter and guage department of the Foxbora company.
Dr. Young, in commenting on the gift, said yesterday, "The department was fortunate in not giving exact specifications, as the measuring equipment is considerably more elaborate than I would haveaved ask for."
Second Call for a Carpet Sweeper
A call second was issued today from the Deen of Women's office for a carpet sweeper for the two student bachelors who have been given a rug. If someone has a carpet sweeper that they own, the Deen Warren Dean Werner or Deen Husband and someone will be sent for the sweeper.

MEASLES BECOME POPULAR AS EXAMINATIONS APPROACH
Eleven students are confined to Watkins Memorial Hospital with measles. Three new cases appeared yesterday, according to Dr. R. I. Canuthes, director of the Student Health Service. German measles, the mild form of the disease, lasts about a week, said Dr. Canuthes, and practically all of the victims are suffering from this form. Only one case of red measles, the severe form, has been reported since the holidays.
"In German measles the individual may have symptoms of a cold, or a severe headache three or four days before the rash appears," said Dr. Kanutson, "and the disease is contagious before the appearance of the rash."
