The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
VOLUME XXXII
on the SHIN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
Herewith, good and intelligent readers, is set forth the first of our new "Believe it or Not" features. With each item published, we intend to print the name of the sage who had the inspiration, thereby enabling all and sundry interested to know who will furnish proof when it is requested.
Believe it or Not . . . The Doings of Local Doras . . . More Politics . . . The Last of Dell Coon . . . A $ \frac{1} {2} $ -act Play . . Forgot the Name.
May we offer that famous saying from Miss Peg Ling "Lip Po" Sherwon—"The Lark's in the Heavens, Not in the Dirt under our Feet."
This little tidibit could well be run as "accept it as the truth," we don't give a d—, but it's too good to hold any longer. One of the thicker Gamma Phil froth was requested to rise and give an imitation of Garbo the other night at dinner. Upon rising said she, "I tank I blow foam now," which, since she really believed that the glamorous one made such a statement, reaches a new high mark in something or other. . . We wouldn't venture to say just like though. Speaking of things like the above always reminds us of other acts played by the fates so here is a fine one. It seems that three of the gals were given the term paper from another one in the same class. One of the phrases "Rickets is caused by lack of lime in the bones" and the loveies couldn't read the other's writing so well they copied it "Rickets is caused by lack of time in the homes," funked the course, and probably haven't felt the same since.

Another glimpse of this cultured collegiate atmosphere is flashed with the young dillette, complete with shaggy head, cetera, who was reading Eugene Dabs "Little Rocking Horses" in the midst of the Symphony the other night.
Talking about tough breaks reminds of Jack Miller, man about town, business manager of competitor Blower's dirt sheet, and various other diseases like Phi Delt, who was running for secretary of the business school the other day. Jack was running on an independent ticket against an organized machine which had oh, no, voting notes and tied with Fass in the dirty machine candidacy. Jack called his current friend the Pi Phi house to ask him how he way should call a flipped coin and the daughter of the army advised him all wrong-like. The moral is that Jack is not seek of the business school and that he took someone else to the varsity last night—not because of the advice she gave though.

The Dell Coon-Phi Pai reunion, celebration, head swelling, and what else you want to cif it, finally culminated Friday night with the locals in the bonds being invited to the Grill without danger of an attack from the couvert charge. Although when the bill is presented for probably deferred payment the couvert charge looks like an extremely small drop in an oversize bucket, the lads all hied themselves to the City for merrymaking (note to printers: spell that right!) and an eve in the Grill. The funny part of the whole thing is that some of them and their dates left at eight o'clock and were back in Lawrence for 12:30 closing hours. Since the band leaves the stand at nine and doesn't return until eleven for the supper session just what is the total when everything is figured up? Maybe the fellows sang Psi songs to the galls.
Presenting a "one-half act" play; the players; a reporter and the Alpha Chi's The scene: two telephones and the necessary wires. The time: 11:30 Saturday
Reporter: "Good morning, this is the Hotel Kansas" —i'm the Daily Kaisan —it's 11:30 and we here tell you had a fire. Wawa dosta kid "Cal who finally answered phone: "Well, we smelled smoke, thought there was a fire and called the fire department to investigate. They brought everything from the firehouse and-ladder truck to the fire. Gazette and couldn't find it. Guess that all dearrived on both receivers. Comment of upitions: "Well, we've always said that where there's fire there's fire and where there's light, there's heat but you can't always talk about the Alpha Chi.'s."

Jayhawkers Still Favored to Take Conference Title
Courtsters Face Second Half of Big Six Race With Eight Games Out of Town
Although the Jawahar basketball Juggernutt suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of the Sooners inst Wednesday night, in its campaign for its fifth consecutive championship, the dope has it that it is still the team to defeat for the Big Six conference title.
The fact that the Allermen are in the habit of winning championships is alone enough to make them feared throughout Big Six circles when they trot onto the court. They have the impressive record of 14 championships in 17 years, with four consecutive wins in the last four years.
Oklahoma has always been a Kansas jinx, taking them down each year with surprising regularity. In the two games of the past week Kansas still holds a lead in the total number of points scored. In the first game the Kansans won 50 to 23, setting them a 27-point lead in the second game. The Kansans came from behind with 36 to 26, an advantage of 10 points, which gives Kansas a mythical advantage of 17 points.
Kansas has won championships with for less talent than they now have. This year Allen has the best array of reserve strength that he has had since the Jayhawks started their last championship sport in 1931.
Browning and Ebling Tied
There is some danger, as usual, of the semester finals causing inefficiency. Al Weilhausen, six-foot seven-inch center candidate, is reported to be in scholastic difficulty. His loss would injure Jay-hawk hopes immensely.
The Sooner ace, Browning, is tied with Ehling, Jushawk high point man, in points scored this season, but Ehling has played one less game this season than has Browning. Ehling has a painter-piece at 4.4, have 1.4, Browning's comes to only 9.5.
Sickness has taken its toll of the spread with Wilmer Shafer out for most of the season owing to a long siege of bronchitis. Shafer in the "pitch hitter" of the team. He has been the only man so keen on this and seems consistent when substituting.
Kansas will have to come down the stretch on foreign courts. The schedule calls for the first eight games at home, the last eight on the road. This may lesson materially the chances for a fifth championship in a row.
Test Comes on Foreign Courts
The Alliennes have three more home games. The Aguines come to Lawrence for their second regular game next Saturday night. Early in the next semester Iowa State and Nebraska call for their first games with Kansas.
To Sell Students K-Books
The administration of the University has approved a plan proposed by Frank Heedley, e27, business manager of the University to book next year's book to students at cost.
Under New Plan, Copies Will Be Available for 15 Cents
Headley pointed out that in previous years, the K-Book has lost money because of its limited sources of revenue. It has been impossible to order more than 2,000 copies. Many students have complained about the shortage of books. Under the new plan copies will be available to every student for 15c.
University graduates captured the highest honors at the annual convention of the Kansas Press Association in Topoka yesterday when Ralph G. Hemenway, '10, publisher of the Minnesota Messenger was elected vicepresident for the coming year and Fred W. Brinkerhoff, '11, managing editor of the Pittsburg Headlight was elected president.
Among the new features of the book will be a replaceable memo-pad and a new cover design. Students will be given a chance to express their opinions in the plan at the first of next semester.
KANSAS PRESS OFFICES GO
Present students of the journalism department distinguished themselves at the meetings by assisting in the publication of a mimeographed newspaper which was distributed in seven editions during the two days. Professor W. A. Dill, Harry Yosef, C. Cunliffe, Arnold issued the paper and John Chandler, c37, issued the paper almost as soon as the sessions of the alumnet reported were concluded.

CSEP Projects to Halt For Checking of Grades
Coach Bill Hargiss, who ran his trackers through the first of a series of pre-senior meets Friday in preparation for the K.C.A.C. competition to be held March 2.
Workers for Second Team to Be Notified After February 4
All CSEP workers at the University will have to suspend work temporarily Jan. 31, according to Mary Olsen, secretary of the CEPF office. The halt will be for only a few days, while the semester grades are being checked. For those whose grade has failed below certain scholastic standards they will receive a CSEP office will replace them with applicants with higher grades.
The federal government requires the CSEP positions to be awarded on the need of the individual, and on his scholarship. More than 1,400 students applied for the 821 positions assisting to University at the beginning of the year.
Miss Glen said yesterday, "We can't pay for work done in the second semester by students who were dropped from the CSEP list at the end of the first. Shortly after Feb. 4, as soon as the grades have been checked, we will notify who will work during the second semester. In that way CSEP students will be able to work their full allumnots in the month of February."
Tustled With Kennamer
Randal Morton, Freshman in College Figures in Tulsa Slaying
Randall R. Morton, Indian student and freshman in the College, was the youth who took a hunting knife from Phil Kernemann on the night John Gorrell was slain, said County Attorney Holly Anderson of Tulsa yesterday. Morton, who declares that he is as puzzled as anyone over the case, does not wish to be "mixed up in it", but signified that he would go to Tulsa for the trial willingly if he were needed. County Attorney Andersen says that it was Morton, instead of Jack Snedden, son of a police Tulsa family, who used the knife from Kernemann, who was threatening Gorrell with it the night of the slaying. Morton handed the knife to Snedden after he had disarmed Kernemann.
Morton was questioned by officers during the Christmas holidays, but so far, has received no notice from attorneys as to whether he will be asked to appear at the trial. However, A. Flint Moss, chief defense counsel, has been quoted as saying he wanted to talk to Morton.
A small edition of a track meet was held by members of the Kansas varsity and freshman track squads on Friday afternoon. A series of these meets between the members of the squad is to be held, one every week in the spring. The competes in the first indoor meet of the season at the K.C.A.C. meet in Kansas City, Mo.
Hold Practice Track Meet
Varsity and Freshman Runners Compete in Indoor Event
NUMBER 79
The members of the three teams which competed were chosen by their respective captains by flipping a coin. A relay, the main event, consisted of four laps of the indoor track for the first man, three laps for the second, one for the third, and two for the fourth. The winning team consisted of Charles Bickert, Tho Gravey, John McNeawn, and Ed Hall, who averaged 30 seconds to a lap for the ten laps which were run. The other two teams were composed of Coulter Cunningham, Ruben Dadigan, Richmond, Ferdinand, Man-Cook Hill, and Karl Gause. It is hoped that this inter-competition will do much toward conditioning the men for the coming meets.
Reliable' Reptile Rumors House Russell Rural Rustics Regularly
The Loch Ness monster flourished and died a natural death when skeptical people looked into the situation and brought forth facts that proved that the people in Scotland were having visions. Other snake and monster stories have been exploded from time to time. No one, however, has been able to explode the stories that the people near Luray, in Russell county, Kansas, tell of the giant snake which lives in that community.
The Lurey snake is always a subject for discussion of the people roundabout whenever a group of citizens get together. Reliable people have seen the snake and it has been in existence for a matter of years, but it's frightened into eating their cereal and spinach, as well as being obedient.
The Luray snake, as it has come to be known, has been little more than a yarn in the minds of most people until nearly two years ago. It came into existence over twenty years ago when James Reiss, who lives north of Luray, was mowing hay on his farm when suddenly the sickle bar was raised about eighteen inches in the air by a large snake. According to his story, he

got a good look at the reptile, but his horses became frightened and started to run away. When he got them stopped he looked back, but the snake was gone, traveling across the field "as fast as a horse could lope."
25 Feet Long
Mr. Reiss described the snake ther as being at twenty-five feet long. It had a small neck but its head was wide and rather flat. On top of its head was a growth which had the appearance of a horn, or a roosters comb. The snake was yellow with black spots according to Mr. Reiss.
Some eight or ten years later Tom Bromson, a Negro, was eating lunch in a shady place near his field when he saw the snake stretching itself from one tree to another as the ordinary snake goes from branch to branch to browning. The trees and left the spot hurriedly. The two trees were over eighteen feet apart.
Nothing more was heard of the snake until four years ago when Omar Cochrun, well known and highly respected farmer living near Lurey saw the snake in his wheat field. That was the year that in wheat that in fact grew into Mr. Cochrun try grew up. Mr. Cochrun snake's head reared above the tall growing grain. He described the head as Mr. Reiss had seen it eighteen years before.
Found in Chicken Pen
Three years ago a traveling salamander was driving into Luray on highway 18. He arrived in town thoroughly frightened. He told of having seen the snake crossing the highway and that it stretched all of twenty-five feet. He described its peculiarly shaped head with the small neck and large body.
That ended the snake for another year, but about two years later a farmer found the snake in his chicken pen. Before he could get a gun the

Intramural Fete Planned to Honor Minor Athletes
Success of First Carnival to Determine Whether Event Will Be Annual
The intramural athlete will come into his own on Mt. Oread the night of Mar-8, according to plans for the first annual Intramural Carnival released yesterday by Delmar Curry, chairman of the Men's Student Council and the intramural committee. The Fete is sponsored jointly by the Men's Student Council and the intramural department of the University.
Invitations will be sent out in the near future to colleges of the Big Six, Missouri Valley, Central Kansas, and Kansas Conferences, urging them to send representatives from their intramurral departments to be guests of honor at the carnival. The purpose of this plan is to create interest for such an event in other schools of this section where intramurrals are a part of the athletic program.
Feature Boxing and Wrestling
The intramural carnival program will feature the finals of the boxing and wrestling tourney. In addition to these, there will be other athletic stunts and contests which have not yet been definitely arranged. Winners of intramural trophies during the fall season will receive their awards at the carnival, and sweaters will be presented to the student intramural managers who have been most active in assisting "Edl" Elbel, intramural director, with the supervision of intramurals. A carnival queen may be selected to make the presentations and congratulate the winners of the contests.
Other Mc Oralc organizations are expected to co-operate in the enterprise. The German band, made up of KU-band members, will probably furnish music in a style which delights kebball players and winter. Fra-ладers and sororites will bind the limelight with athletic contests with stunts and novelty acta.
May Hold Dance
The $150 appropriated for the affair by the Men's Student Council will not cover the expenses involved and a small price will be necessary. The tickets will include admission to the Auditorium, an attractive souvenir program, and admission to a two-hour dance, tentatively arranged for the Memorial Union ballroom immediately after the conclusion of the program.
Mr. Elibel and the intramural managers hope that an annual public appearance for the outstanding intramural performers will induce students to take more interest and get in better physical condition for their intramural contests. By inviting representatives of other schools, this movement may be successfully reflected in other colleges of this section.
Simpson to Give Program Regular Sunday Vespers to Include Seven Organ Selections
Guy Cras Simpson, instructor of organ and piano, will present the weekly vesper organ recital this afternoon at the University Auditorium at a 10 o'clock.
The program will include "Variations from Fifth Symphony" (Widor), which are highly original and finely contrasted fantasy-variations upon a vrile march theme. The "Cortege and Litany" (Dupre), has a definitely ecclesiastical atmosphere. Franck's "Prelude Fugue, and Variation" shows the tripartite form, of which Frank was particularly fond. The "Prelude and Fugue in A Minor" is one of Bach's greatest organ works. It is especially liked for the resilience and grace of its fugue theme. The chorale prelude "A Rose Bakees Into Bloom" (Brahmus), "In Springtime" (Kinder), and "Second Symphony, Cantilever, Finale" (Barnes) will complete the recital.
Club To Meet at Dr. Mix's
The Botany Club will meet at the home of Prof. J. A. Mix, 1134 Louisiana street, at 7:30 on Tuesday evening. Ruth Stockard, c$35, James Bates, instructor of botany, and Curtis Packard, gr., will be in charge of the meeting.
