UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2 The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas 2 VOLUME XXXII NUMBER 76 SUGGEST CHANGES AT UNION --on the SHIN --on the SHIN By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35 The Day Is Gloomy . . . and So Is the Material . . . the Lawyers Puns Ain't so Good . . . and We Hear of Bill Johnson—in the Ladies' Department "Tis a bad day withall—also without—much damnness, fog, and the like. The population of our fair mill seems to have practically ceased operation as far as little quips, pleasanties, and the like which can be related herein are concerned. We have swiveded unceasingly in our swivel chair, the editor's swivel chair, and in Prof. Flint's swivel chair, but to no avail whatever—no amount of even the most practical and professional swivelling will allow inspiration to be born. And why is the case? Dost not know stupid oats, that finals are upon us, that copy pours in for them, and that Alpha Gams even so long and that the Alpha Gams even so low as to put out their fire before it got a good start? One fair darned hatch put forth the suggestion that a contagion to ascertain the reason why Beta's wear their panties so high and walk on their toes might produce reams of copy, but the answer is probably "Because we want to be like Lyman." "Tis related by one Ernie Casini, by remote control from Chubby Joe Antonello, that studying the nasty dirty law makes punks. The story: a student in one class asked the prof. a answer in this ponderous manner, "That was a subtle question my little man." Quoth a demon voice from the darkened depths of the Black Hole (classroom)—"Well, Come on and let’s subtle the question right now." Indeed that was a most smelly thing to say! We have heard of a young Kappa freshman who keeps those lads with whom she trippeth the light fantasy in their place—not very close to her—by an ingenuous method which so far has met with remarkable success. As the young hopeful strives for a firm grasp, the lady begins to tell him about the terrible case of fu she is enjoying. The stronger the grasp of the youth, the more lurid the details of the cold. Wise men have said that necessity is the Ma of most people who make up things which turn out O.K. Our friend Bill Johnson, Phi Delt who played mean basketball here several years ago, was at the game last night. Reminds us of old times, good times, and to tell you that little Willy always had some such mugel in the ladies ready-to-wear department of the Jones Store in Kansas City. Some fawn; eh kid! The other day we were handed a little item which told of the John Hubert Anderson of Wellington who one day was figuring up how much it would cost him to ride the bus to the Hill every morning. One of his pals commented, "Pretty expensive is it not, my good friend of long standing?" The answer: "Yes it is, but I was just figuring up how much I'm saving every day." In case you haven't heard before, Wellington is a Scotch community. In this age of parodies on the recent song hit “You’re the Top,” we were handed a clever take-off connected with campus etc. We will bet any number of pennies—up to two—that you can’t guess where at the copy at it. . . left it at home and you don't get it until tomorrow. MOORE TO GIVE ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ABOUT CANYON TRI Dr. R. C. Moore, professor of geology and state geologist, will give a lecture tomorrow morning in the Engineering auditorium at 8:30 o'clock, on a survey trip through the Grand Canyon, a number of years ago. Along with his lectures, he will show moving pictures of the party's explorations through the canyon. The trip of Dr. Moore was made as a preliminary survey to determine the site of the proposed project. The public is invited to attend the lecture. Prof. John Ise of the economics department, will address the Topeka chapter of the American Institute of Banking. Thursday night at 7:30 in the Topeka high school auditorium. He will present "Science and the Economic Order." LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 16, 1935 Survey Indicates Student Center Is Popular Hangout CSEP Worker Lists Needs Including Improvement of Men's Room and Check Stand Enlargement, or reconstruction elsewhere, of the men's rest room of the Memorial Union building and the establishment of a check room where wraps, books, and other articles could be checked at any time during the day were the outstanding suggestions for improving the room by students in the survey conducted during the week of Jan. 3 to 10 by the Union operating committee. The survey shows that a large portion of the student body is taking advantage of the Union facilities, says William W. Cochrane, manager of the Union building. "The splendid cooperation and suggestions given by the students during the survey show that many projects are being implemented of the present facilities and the development of many projects at present not available." 11:30 Hour Popular A detailed report concerning the use of the men's, women's, and general lounges shows that 11:30 is the favorite time to "louge." On the Thursday of November surveyed there were 210 men and women in the three lounges during that hour. The most frequent complaint encountered was concerning the poor facilities of the man's rest room which at present is not fully installed, initially intended to be an elevator shaft. It was observed that many commuters from the many surrounding towns use the lounge as their headquarters and to pass the time when not in classes. These commuters and many other students made the suggestion that a permanent check stand be established in the alcove now occupied by the telephone booth or to enlarge the present stand to accommodate the checking of wraps and books any time during the day at no charge. "Burgers" Absent The enlargement of fountain facilities was desired by a majority of those interviewed. It was suggested that the enlargement of the facilities would not only provide room for those not able to secure seats in the fountain room during their free hour, but would also allow guests to use the cooking of "hamburgers." The absence of the "burgers" seemed to be the only criticism offered of the fountain. Those students interested in reading asked for a more varied selection of magazines and several copies of the most popular ones. Others suggested the establishment of a fiction branch. Several copies of the Kinnan, Kanman, City City, and the Lawrence Daily Journal-World also were desired. The billiard and ping-pong player stated that they also would appreciate improvements in the game room. Many of his friends have bowled alley in the sub-basement. Suggest Daily Dances "Yankee Crusade," a play of early Kansas, written by Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic art, will be presented by the Kansas Players at Fraser theater on Feb. 11, 12, 13, and 14. Dancing at a specified period, about one hour daily, preferably at noon or late afternoon was suggested by many persons interested in dancing. Other suggestions offered by the dancers was the addition of space in the ballroom for dancing, which should be in comfortable chairs and smoke while listening to the orchestra. Apparently about one-third to one-half of the University students use the Union lounge daily while the remainder are quietly when they have nothing else to do. To Present Crafton's Play Kansas Players Will Give "Yankee Crusade" Feb. 11, 12, 13, and 14 There are few people in the state who, through study, are as thoroughly acquainted as is Professor Crafton with the historic events which went into the making of Kansas. In "Yankee Crusader," he has written, in dramatic form, how John Sullivan and his friends lives and the times of the 80's in Kansas Territory. The production, with Professor Crafton directing, has gone into rehearsal. There are 26 characters having speaking parts in the play. No Action Taken Taxation Hearing Will Be Last of Month John Callahan, clerk of the district court, announced today that no action will be taken upon the tautation case of Mr. Larry Patterson for servility or security until the end of the month. School of Business Elects Ray Reed, b35, and Glenn Antrum, b35, were elected secretary and treasurer of the School of Business in a special election held today. The two offices had been left vacant by the school's last president six to return to school this semester. Reed and Antrim Chosen to Fill Vacancies in Special Poll Reed was elected by a slight margin of votes over Jack Miller, b36, who was an independent candidate for the office Edward McCoin, b35, was also a candidate for the position. Antimr was appointed by George Clure, b35, and George Guerwep, b35. Immediately with the advent of the second semester, preparations will be begun for the annual "Business School Day" which will be held about the first week in April. On that day the school of Business faculty will play their anatomy game and try to follow the game, a banquet dinner will be held in the Hotel Eldridge. An unusually large number of votes were cast in view of the fact that this was not a regular election. John Morrison, b33, president of the Business School, and Robert Cory, b33, vice-venture, acted as judges for the election. Students Enter Peace Poll 300,000 Undergraduates in World Colleges to Participate in Poll University of Kansas students are beginning to vote in the Peace Poll conducted by Literary Digest and Association of College Editors. "The primary purpose of the nation-wide college Peace Poll is to stimulate student opinion on a subject of real consideration today," according to The Daily Illini, student newspaper c. the University of Illinois. More than 300,000 undergraduates in more than 100 American and Canadian colleges are included in this poll. The extent of sentiment in American college students toward the value of diplomacy, against arrogant nationalism, is to be learned in the poll. HE CALLED, BUT SHE WASN'T HOME The student from Oklahoma who received a beating for failing to show up at a recent sorority party did not get in touch with his date to break the engagement before the party started, although he made four telephone calls in house during the afternoon and early in the evening, it was learned today. It was also learned that the student understood that he had a stagg bid instead of a date invitation. W. Robert Small, retiring executive secretary of the Urban League of Kansas City, Mo., spoke to a group of journalism students on "The Negro under the NRA" in the journalism building this morning. Mr. Small also spoke at a noon luncheon at the Memorial Union cafeteria. An investigation of the case is being made by University authorities, it was rumored today. Small Tells of Negro and NRA Symphony to Give Colorful Program In Annual Concert Difficult "Scheherazade" o Rimsky-Korsakow Feature of Program Tomorrow The University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Karl Koehrerstein, will be heard in its annual mid-winter concert tomorrow night in the University auditorium at 8 o'clock. The orchestra will be assisted by 20 members Sigma, Sigma, honorary dancing security, Tom Ryan, and George Trovail, pianists. The orchestral program will include "Suite" from "The Water Music" (Handel); a symphonic suite, "Scheherazade" (Rimky-Kuraksony); "The Carnival of Animals," presented in dance forms; "Arte," the "Battered Bride" (Smetana). Handel composed the music of "The Water Music" for King George I of England in order to regain his favor. It was first performed at the Thames fete and it is for this reason only that it has been called "The Water Music." The "Scheherzade" tells the story of a Sultan, who after sweeping to put to death all his wives, is so interested by one, Scheherzade, that he allows her to live 1000 nights and then gives up his vengeful purpose altogether. "The Battered Bride" is a thoroughly nationalistic Bohemian opera and the overture a combination of rippling narrative and vigorous folk songs. The concert is open to the public. No admission will be charged. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: First violin-Margaret Love, concertmaster, Robert Sebert, Saul D. Kass, Nicholas Geren, Lolind Salaenburg, Cater, Raja Hawley, Eather Eddy.

Federation wants 'drill made selective.' drill made selective. The Kansas steam roller got into action last night and with Ray Ebling furnishing most of the steam the Jayhawkers downed the Oklahoma basketball team by a score of 50-23. The lopsided score does not denote the inability of the Sooners but rather the ability of the Jayhawkers. Tau Sigma Will Assist In Symphonic Concert Jayhawk Basketball Machine Functions Almost Perfectly to Defeat Sooners by Top-Heavy Score of 50-23; Ebling Is High Man With 20 Points; Meet Again Tonight at 7:30 ONE-SIDED VICTORY COMES AS SURPRISE Recital to Take Place of Annual Program by Dancing Sorority This recital will take the place of the annual Tau Sigma recital and will be the only program this year in which this type of dancing will be presented. Six numbers will be danced, all from the "Carnival of Animals," (Saint-Sacrs). With the exception of "The Swan," which was created by Betty Shirk Quantius, c 27, all of the numbers were created, staged, and costumed by Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, assistant professor of physical education. Tau Sigma, honorary dancing sorority will assist in the annual mid-winter concert of the University Symphony Orchestra tomorrow night. Unusual Lighting Effects The Kansas team was near perfect last night and is considered by many fans as one of the best ever to be turned out by Dr. Allen in his long service at the University. The offense clicked to perfection, the entire team was hitting well and they had little trouble in working the ball in for close in shots. A black curtain as a background for the dancing which will take place on the lower level of the main floor, with wings and tormentors will comprise the setting. Unusual lighting effects have worked out by Millard Laing fa36. The program of dancing is very diversified. There has been no attempt in the creation of the dances to be literal in the interpretation of the numbers chosen. The dances represent in movement the quality or atmosphere expressed in the music, "The Swan" and "The Aquarium" are romantic in theme; "The Cuckoo in the Depth of the Wood" is symbolic of the title; "The Tortoises" is entirely modern; "The Lions" represent the vigorous and sinuous movements of these animals, and the "Fossils" is satirical and ridiculous in the hollow vein that the music inspired. Thirty Members Participate Thirty members of the Tau Sigma will participate in the program. They are: Mary Bess Doyle Ruth Fyle, Alice Hall Jenkins Lucille Price, Helen Boman, Helen Johnson, Caroline Newman, Catherine Conklin, Ruth Hurd, Thelma Humphrey, Betty Ruth Smith, Betty Shirk Quantius, Catherine Dunkel, Laura Jane Lattner, Ruth Beaty, Carolyn Bliss, Mary Elizabeth Edie, Mary Lorrih Harrison, Betty Heaton, Carol Hunter, Bette Lemon, Maria Nuzman, Betty Sterling, Donna Sutherhand, Peggy Wilcox, Mildred Anderson, Virginia Banfield, Mary Ellen Miller, and Ruth De Weese. Weekly Recital Tomorrow Program to Include Violin, Piano, and Voice Numbers The weekly student recital of the School of Fine Arts will be given to tomorrow in the Administration auditorium at 3:30 o'clock. The program will include violin: "Concerto in A Minor" first movement (Vivaldi-Nachez) Esther Eddy; piano: "Concerto in D Minor" first movement (Hinton) orchestral parts on second part by Miss Conger, Mary Laryn and Robert Snyder; on clarinet from "Le Nozi di Figaro" (Mozart) Claire Sloan.

He will be the guest speaker at the University alumni association at Chicago. The Kansas defense was too much for the Sooners. They were unable to work the ball in with a set passing game and when they resorted to a fast breaking offense the Kansas defense would form in time to hurry the shots or intercept a pass to stop the Sooner advances. Ebling was, by far, the outstanding man on the court. He collected six field goals and eight free throws for a total of 20 points. When he left the game eight minutes before the end of the game, he had no time than the components had up to that time. Wells was next with five baskets and four free throws for a total of 14 points. Wells played thirty-six minutes of the game despite an injury foot. Allen was next with three baskets for six The University basketball team will meet the University of Oklahoma tonight in the auditorium at 7:30 in the second of the two games to be played here between the two teams.

Cobb was high point man for the Sooners with four baskets for eight points. Browning, Oklahoma ace was stopped in his tracks by the Kansas defense and a lone free throw was all he could contribute. Oklahoma opened the scoring when Tyler made two free throws good in the first minute of play. Elbinger countered with three free throws for Kansas in quick succession. The Sooners did not make a field goal until eleven minutes of the game had been played, but Tyler scored twice and who made 14 points in the first half Kansas pulled away to a 28-12 lead at half time. Wells and Ebling opened the second half with a bombardment of the goal which netted 11 points to bring the score to 30-12 with six minutes in the second half gone. With 14 minutes gone in the second half Kansas had raised their score to 48-18. The Jay-hawkerubs couldn't find the basket until the fourth quarter when crowd roaring for fifty points, Well-haunen, 6 foot 7 inch center dunked in a field goal a matter of seconds before the final gun. The win last night left Kansas with a clean slate of four victories and no defeats, having defeated Missouri twice, and Kansas State once before the Sooner game. Nebraska is the only other undefeated team in the conference with a scrimmage victory over Iowa State in the only game played. Kansas fg. fg. nf. ft. fp. tp. mih.
