on the SHIN
On the Shin in French. . . . the Beta flag-raising. . . Do You Bowl Duchess? . . . Alas, Poor Brad, I knew Him Well . . . Conglomerata.
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
The three coeds were studying their French in the library by means of stating the merits and otherwise of the new Kansan column in that language. One of them, wanting to give fair comment said, "Ah, bh magnifique," only to be interrupted by another. "It's c'est, my dear, not pest." The other answered, "well, how do you know if I wanted it to be pest or c'est" quoth she, "and if it were pest, who would the pest be?" A pause, a giggle and in then chorus they exclaimed, "Quelle splendide." Now, was the column splendid, the French, or just what? We give up.
With all fitting pomp the Betas held their annual flag-raising ceremony atop their own house on Tennessee street Wednesday noon. As usual the performance was carried on wholly by the freshmen. The program was opened with a song, "The Star-Spangled Banner," by the class. Then a newly purchased baby pink and baby blue banner was raised as Mark Dodge blew a trumpet flourish. The feature was Tom Brownell's rendition of "Dinah" from the chimney-top and as usual, the close was the good old cheer, "Ten buckets of tripe for the Sigma Chi." In order that their other neighbors would not feel slighted, the Woogs also offered a second piece for the Phi Gamma, six and a half for the Tha Tua, four and a half for the Phi Mu fiddlers, and three for the Kappas. The cannon salute of past years was lacking for want of ammunition since the kiddies had sold their paddles.

The story is told about the two girls whose dates last Saturday night wanted to go bowling instead of the Varsity. The gals couldn't enjoy the idea and used all kinds of excuses to get to the Varsity but to no avail. Finally, after watching their dates bowl a game or two and growing more disgusted all the time, they met their mothers and most certainly would not want their daughters to be seen in a bowling alley, the fellows heaved a sigh, and gave up.
Shearer's friend the murder charge man at Arizona School of Bars has one of the most complete collection of Jayhawkers in existence. There little doubt that he'll have plenty of time to collect a few more and the suggestion has been offered that he not only judge the Sophomore gals but also write an article for the magazine, entitled "On Other Campuses."
Flash: Schultz sold her tin foil for 1947.
Speaking of mourning our dear lost friends of years ago brings to mind the sad case of one Merril Bradley who at one time was known on our campus for this and that. The only this's and that she's his famous for are library hours and good behavior instead of—Well it's all Team's fault.

Conglomerata: A blow to our pride was suffered the other day while walking down the campus. We chanced upon a little ladder carrying a toy car and simply trying to be pleasant said, "You hello yeller," or words to that condescending effect. The reply: "Aw, go on home you old stream-lined man!" Can you explain? "Tis rumored that Rusa Beatte's ear is parked in a muddy field the other side of the Chi Omega house and Russ and his Pi Phi friend walked home. He had laughed at Bette Hamilton, the girl who if all the slot machines in the world were placed into two would probably get placed to sword worth of nickels to put in each one there by having a trip around the world and won't you have some more coffee . . . Bob Lamar submits an autobiography a la Gertrude Stein in one of his classes, 'twas a screw work indeed, the only thing being he should have started with "Hell" said the Duchess as she lit her cigar. An eastern boy already done that.
LAWRENCE. KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1935
Both Teams Face Game With Loss Of Star Players
Encounter With Manhattan Promises to Be Toss- Up Between Two Injured Squads
Manhattan, Jan. 11.—(Special to the Daily Kansan) —Frank Root, basketball coach at Kansas State College, announced today that Frank Groves, Kansas State Center who now leads the conference in scoring, will not be able to make the trip to Lawrence today.
Coach Root announces the following starting lineup: Forwards, Thornhill and Tellojohan or Gillack, back row and Rallback and Stoneer (captain).
BULLETIN
Injuries in both camps make the outcome of the Kansas-Kansas Aggie tilt tonight a tosse-up. Groves, Aggie center, did not make the trip due to an injured foot. On the Kansas side, Noble will be on tonight due to a bad ankle; Shaffer is in the student hospital suffering from bronchitis and running a high fever. Wells is suffering from a wrenched foot but will be in the lineup tonight if possible. Gray may not be in top shape due to a head injury suffered in the Missouri game Tuesday.
If Wells is unable to play, Ebling will be shifted to the center position. If this shift is made, Rogers will start at one forward with Oyler or Allen as the second forward. The copeman will be at one guard and Gray or Harris will be at the other position.
Freeland to Replace Graves
Freeland will replace Groves at the pivot position for the Aggies. Thornbrough will be at one forward and Telleljo or Gilpin will be at the other forward post. Stoner and Railsback will hold down the guard positions. The Aggies will be scrapping for a victory tonight in order to get back in the running for the conference championship. Last week they dropped two conference games and two non-conference games. The Oklahoma Sooners took their measure 47-34 and 38-34 Oklahoma City University defeated them 36-27 and Wichita turned them back 50-34.
Kansas has played two conference games defeating Missouri 39-29 and 36-27. Injuries growing out of the series may cost the Jayhawks tonight. Dr. Allen said this morning that reports of injuries in the Aggie camp were not very heartening. He recalls the 1925 season when Ackerman, Peterson, and "Freneny" Belgard were the Kansas stars. The Jayhawks had just returned from a successful tour of the northern end of the old Missouri Valley conference. They had defeated Iowa State, Drake and Grinnell.
Allen Downhearted
"The Aggies came to Lawrence with a long list of injuries, but their subs and cripples trimmed us 40 to 28" said Dr. Allen.
A survey of power rates in Lawrence by a group of CSEP workers will be under the direction of Prof. Duane Jennings, assistant professor in the School of Business and in charge of the Federal Powervey, authorized by the Federal Power Commission, will be in the form of a house-to-house canvas.
JENNINGS LAUNCHES SURVEY OF LAWRENCE POWER RATE
E. C. Quigley and Owen (Chili) Cochrane will be the officials tonight.
Debaters to Model House
NUMBER 73
Kansas Students to Conduct Mock Legislature of Montana
Lethargy in the W.S.G.A. may be the result of the disinterested attitude of individual members, and combines may result from the ambition of individual sororites, but whatever the causes both conditions are undesirable, and should be corrected. Toes may be stepped on in the process of correction, but that is not the Kansan's purpose.
The Kansan hopes that whatever suggestions it offers will be taken, not as attacks on persons or sororities, but as criticism of an election system that does not result in representative self-government for the women of the University, and criticism of a lethargic organization, which could be of great value to the University.
Students to Conduct Legislature at Manhattan
The faults of the W.S.G.A. lie in that body as a whole, and in the method of ejection of its members. Personalities should have no place in any attempt to improve the W.S.G.A., and are no part of this attempt.
TOO BAD ABOUT THE TOES
Logan Lane, '135, Gunnar Mykland, c'37, Phil Bramwell, c'36, Lyman Field, c'36, and Hugh Randall, '137, will represent the University at a meeting of a model legislature to be held at Mandahe Friday and Saturday Jan. 18 and 19.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Uni-
versity alumni association, announcee
recently that University alumni associations
in metropolitan districts have made an ardent plea to the secretary, that on Jan. 29, Kansas Day, all alumni,
former students and present students
who are near the following cities should
get in touch with him or with the presidents
of these organizations.
All the schools in Kansas will send representatives to this "legislature." It will be conducted in accordance with the usual rules of Kansas State Legislature, and Governor Landon will be the students of Kansas with how government is enacted and will present a view into the future government of the state.
Unemployment and old age insurance, taxation, educational reform, and the legalization of beer will be the problems presented to the group.
The cities are: New York, Boston,
Chicago, Kansas City, Denver,
Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco, Washington, and Seattle. Wash.
LUMNI THROUGHOUT COUNTRY WILL OBSERVE KANSAS DAY

Returns
In order to retain its position as one of the leading universities of the country. The salary cuts effected in 1933, which have continued to be in effect in spite of the fact that the cost of living has risen 11 per cent, has caused the University to lose some of its leading professors.
After their arrival here this afternoon by bus from Topeka, a short inspection tour will be made of a portion of the campus and some of the buildings. A short business session will be held after the tour at which time students will receive training from Fred Harris, of Ottawa, member of the Board of Regents, will present the case.
Woodbury Etching to University
The department of design today received an etching by Charles H. Woodbury through the American College of Architects, which the department is a member. The etching is of the Maine sea coast showing an oncoming storm. It is entitled "The Sea Is Making." This and many other selections will be shown after the exhibition of public school art work.
State schools of Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, are paying their employees from 20.1 to
45.0 per hour. The University is able to pay its professors.
Visitors
The University now uses much depreciated equipment because of reduced budgets. Listed in the report of the Governor and Board of Regents are eight buildings which are termed necessary; a merical building at Lawrence a service building for the School of Medicine at Kansas City, a Training school building for the School of Education, work on the Fine Arts building an addition to the Journalism building chemistry and pharmacy buildings, and an addition to the engineering laboratories.

ALBERT A. HYDE, UNIVERSITY BENEFACTOR, DIES IN WICHITA
Albert A. Hyle, 86, manufacturer and philanthropist, died of a heart attack last night at his home in Wichita.
He gave financial support to any religious or social movement that seemed honest and sincere.
When Henley house was given to the University Y.W.C.A. by Mrs. A. Henley in 1923, Mr. Hyde donated $250 for furnishings. Mr. Hyde was a member of the international committee of the Y.M.C.A. He gave most of the land and part of the buildings in Park to the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.
Miss Sherwood would not consent to be quoted further.
Former Scholar Thinks View of Germany False
Allen Says Differences is ir Background Must Be Considered
Allen said that he would like to him-bast the idea that the Germans were doing anything unexpected. According to him, the entire German policy rests on commerce and industrial codes of the nature of the NRA.
The exchange scholar said that the differences in the backgrounds of the two peoples made it impossible for them to understand the policies of each other. He said that the German attitude toward the NRA, and other groups, was different from what nature was as unjust as our attitude toward the German experiments.
Harold E. Allen, German exchange scholar at the University of Hamburg in 1933-4, returned to Lawrence yesterday morning with the opinion that the American attitude toward conditionism in Germany is at a variance with facts.
Thus did Margaret Sherwood, c'35, president of the ancient but crumbling W.S.G.A, proud K.U. tradition, allow herself to be quoted by a Kanan reporter in reply to the Kanan's onslaught against meaninglessness of the W.S.G.A.
The Kansas representatives in Germany barred the extravagance of press claims regarding the treatment of Jewish people in Germany. "The methods they use in treatment of Jews," he said, "are duplicates of the methods used in New York only somewhat stronger though in the same ratio when the percentage of population is considered."
Allen says, "Although I certainly do not qualify as an expert on 65,000,000 people, I depreciate any attempt of Americans to criticize the activities of the Germans during the last two years. These activities were and are the outgrowth of a set of circumstances which people in this country, with their American backgrounds, cannot understand."

No Action Has Been Taken by Women's Council to Remedy Election Situation; Interviews Indicate Much Interest in Investigation of Combines
Emphasizes Fellowship Engendered by Professional Understanding
The W.S.G.A. council has not met following the expose in the columns of the Kansan two days ago, wherein it was pointed out that combines have existed to control women's politics to the detriment of nonorosity girls and members of the smaller sororities. No action has been taken to remedy the situation, bringing the elections out into public view and to eliminate the feature of numbering each ballot by the number of sorority or organization.
Dr. Logan Clemenden, author of the "Diet and Health" column appearing daily in the Kansas City Star and recent addition to the Kansas City Medical School branch staff, spoke to freshman and Sophomore medical students on "The Fraternity of Medicine," at their annual banquet last night in the Student Memorial building.

It was pointed out, by Margaret Mc-Nown, treasurer of W. S. G. A., that a committee is functioning whereby a election system is to be worked out.
"The evils of combines are admitted and there is no objection to airing them," Miss McNown stated.
Campus opinion on the subject of women's politics took varying angles during the day, with various interpreta- tions being presented by student leaders.
Lloyd Metzler, treasurer of the Men's Student Council and Varsity Dance Manager; I have never been able to see any excuse for the ban on women's politics. I think they should work with the two existing political parties for the control of one big student governing body made up of men and women.
ATTACK BY KANSAN
IS UNFHAIR, DECLARES
W. S. G. A. OFFICER
Margaret McNown, treasurer of W.S.G.A. had the following statement to make today in regard to women's governors association:
"It seems to me that the Kan-san is making a great many disparaging statements about the activities of the Women's Council without knowing anything about it.
"Just exactly how she the treadance question settled?" Who has made any effort at all towards money for a student book store?
"At present a committee is functioning whereby a new election system is to be worked out. The evils of combines are admitted and there are no objections to airing them."
Waldo Shaw, editor of the Kansas Engineer; I am glad to see the facts of the case brought to light. I hope the investigation will not stop at this point.
Chevrey White, president of the Engineering Council and of Scarab: The Kansan has body and rightly uncovered circumstances that with others are tearing at the very heart of any great student work might be developing. I hope that the Kansan will carry such type of investigation further.
John Berklebe, former editor of the Jayhawk; I am glad that the Kansas has awakened the students to an undesirable condition that has existed for several years and is present representative of the student body.
Jo Hellings, president of the Pi Phis; I think it is a reprehenisble thing.
Mary Frances Kavanaugh, president of Women's Pan-Hellenic Council: I think women should have open elections and political parties and issues like men.
Phil Bramwell, c36. "In the first place, I don't think men should meddle in women's politics. From the outsider's view point, the quality of the girls' councils that I have seen, speaks highly of their system of electing."
Betty Heaton, Pt. Beta Phi "Combines should be abolished but I think there should be some other form of non-purity girls a fair chance."
Sarah Lou Hamilton, c35: "The present system does not give a fair representation of the student opinion. A new system should be used."
- Hans Pfuetz, Beta Theta Pi and
Senior Cheerleader; "The recent expose
in the Kansan of combines is not new
to me, nor do I believe, to the major-
ity of students. If, as we see, the
