Someone has given the men a rug which they have had difficulty in sweeping with a broom because of its thick nap. If anyone has a carpet sweeper or any other type of sweeper with stiff braches which he is no longer using, the men would greatly appreciate receiving it. Any information he gives to office or to Men's Student Adviser or the Dean of Women.
Professor Flint of the department of journalism didn't quite know what he was letting him in for when he enrolled Charles "Rapid" Rankin in his ad copy course. Assigned to write an ad on a window cleaner which cleans the outside of the window from within, he contributed this "off the record."

People who were here three or four years ago will mourn the passing of "Hook" Fisher, former Kansan editor. Sour Owl author, football and baseball star—incidentally he "swang" a goose at the Kansas City Star. Hook's engagement to Lucile Jacquith, a Gamma Phi from Wichita has been announced.
It was learned from a good source yesterday that although Bill Flowers is editor of the famous dirt shovelling magazine here at the University, he failed when given a real dirt shovelling job last summer. When school let out last spring, Bill, with the best intentions, went to the superintendent of a large packing plant in K.C. and asked for a job. He was told that there was only one "position" available: "Oh, that will be all right," said Bill. "Anything to earn some money this summer." Bill worked until noon one day and quit. And still Sigma Delta Chi hired him to run the Squirrel Oil this year.
These foreign language clubs give us a pain announcing their meetings so we stumps can't tell what's going on. We fear some clandestine couple will start using our personal column with "iggy bkkly man see Idy Doll do ko when. Schism all patchy up. Your Ducky Wucky."

Kansas, Weakened By Injuries,Faces Aggie Cage Team
Kansas State Squad Also Hampered by Loss of Star Center and Reserves
Injuries seem to be dogging the Kansas and the Kansas State basketball teams, which are scheduled to meet here Friday night in their third but first conference, game of the season.
Shaffer, whose three baskets in quick succession near the close of the first Missouri game, gave Kansas its commending lead, is in the hospital with a fever of 102, a relapse from an attack of he had while at home for the hidaway.
Noble, who suffered a badly sprained ankle in the first game, is still limping and is definitely out of the game for tomorrow night.
Others of the players who suffered from the rapid-fire play of the two games include Wells, center, who was not able to practice yesterday because of a sore foot; Ebbing who had a pain in his left knee; Walters, Gray, who sustained a head injury Tuesday evening, and suffered from a severe headache yesterday.
Rogers Available
Oyler slightly sprained his ankle in practice Wednesday, and Holmer, adored to the scrimmage line in practice, will be able to play. He will be in condition for Friday night.
Rogers, who got into the game a few minutes Tuesday, and whose attempts at baskets started the K.U. rally that gave Kansas 12 points in the last six minutes of play, while Missouri was chalking up only a pair of free throws, will be available for Friday, as will Milton Allen, forward, Allen, in the first half, in Monday, made good two out of three shots at the basket; and Tuesday, when he played 26 minutes, scored twice in eight attempts.
Groves Has Bad Foot
Dr. Allen said this morning he might find it necessary to call on Wellhausen, 6-foot 7-inch center, for the Friday game. Wellhausen is eligible, but Dr. Allen has been holding him out so he can devote all his time to his studies and insure his eligibility next semester. Similar stories of injuries come from Manhattan, where Groves, Wildet center who scored 25 points in the two games against with a foot bruise that prevented his playing in the Wichita University game and Marshall, reserve forward, has a broken bone in his foot.
However, there will be a game.
Officials will be E. C. Quigley and Owen (Chili) Cochrane.
Iron Out Defense
Practice last night consisted of ironing out of the defense. The defense of the team in the Missouri games showed well at times but gave way several times to let the Tigers throw a scare into the fans. "I was particularly pleased at the队 from team came from behind, a team gets behind Foe of this points, it is lost, but the Kansas boys Tuesday night were in the game every minute. It takes real bull playing to come from behind and win."

Among the hills and valleys, in the beauty that is southern Wisconsin, stretches two hundred-acre estate. It is situated about 40 miles from Madison. Spring water forms a small creek, which the master of this estate has empowered and harnessed to drive the turbine that generates electricity for the many rooms of a graceful building at peace on the brow of the north hill.
Only a small portion of Talliesis is visible from the public road and little does the passer-by realize how it spreads its sheltering roof over living rooms, studio, student quarters, dining rooms, continuation rooms, kitchens, garages, chicken house, and pig quarters, into the very pasture for sheep and the apple orchard. This
THE TALIESIN EXPERIMENT
On the slope of the south hill, another continuous structure incloses the theatre, additional living quarters, two fine galleries and the large architectural drafting room with its unique lighting, patterned trusses and huge fire place. To one side stands the unfinished dormitory for girls, the workmen's dining room and kitchen. Surrounding these buildings lie the cultivated fields of oats and corn, vineyard, vegetable gardens, orchards and pasture land.

This is the estate of Frank Lloyd Wright and the home of the Talesin Fellowship. The Fellowship is composed of apprentices, artists ranging in age from twelve to those in middle life. The majority of the thirty to forty are graduates from various colleges scattered from coast to coast and includes one, a Yale graduate, who is being maintained by the Chinese government. Painters,

Plans for N.S.F.A. Congress Started In Council Meeting
Metzler, Gilbert, Cochrane and Lindenbaum Are on Committee to Form Plans
The Men's Student Council had preliminary plans for holding the eleventh annual Congress of the National Student Federation of America in Kansas City, Mo., and Lawrence the latter part of September in their first meeting of 1935 last night.
Gunnar Mykland, c.35, president of the has been appointed chairman of the Kansas City Convention. A committee composed of Sol Lindenbaum, c.38; Lloyd Metzler, c.35; Arnold Gilbert, c.37; and member of the Union building, was appointed to make plans for the convention.
At the same time, Mykland reported the plans of the N.S.F.A. to strengthen the organization in the Middle west.
"Of the eighty schools eligible for membership in this section of the country, only 20 schools belong to the N.S.F. A," Mykland said. "This organization is extremely strong in the South and East and one of the objects of bringing the next annual convention to Kansas City was to interest the schools of this territory in the fine work that the Federation is accomplished."
A committee composed of Norbert Anschutz, c36, chairman; Hugh Rundall, 137, and Frank Afflict, c36, was appointed to co-operate with the Job-School West-central regional committee of the Federation, in an effort to stir up interest among the neighboring colleges in the N.S.F.A. A regional convention will be held in the spring.
State Board Makes Survey
Regents Finds Little Duplication o Courses at Five Kansas Schools
The Board of Regents has completed its survey of duplication of courses among the five schools under its direction, namely the University of Kansas, Kansas State at Manhattan, Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, Fort Hays State College and Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg. It reports that there is little duplication of either courses or equipment and that consolidation would not result in sufficient saving to justify the change.
Engineering, journalism, and education were the three subjects especially investigated. The Board recommended that "graduate training in education at the University it be unlimited, and at Manhattan it shall be limited solely to vocational education." They also specified graduate training for the Teachers Colleges.
The Board suggested that an impartial survey be made of state-supported education by trained experts.

Majority of Women Interviewed This Morning Show Active Interest in Abolition of Coalitions; Dean of Women Says Non-Greeks Could Swing Elections
"I am in favor of doing away with combines," said Dean Agnes Husband, Dean of Women, this morning. "I regret that they have existed because I believe that they have given sorority girls undue advantage over the non-organization girls."
Makes Reply
"When we have as few non-organization girls on the Council, it seems that the independent girl is not getting a fair representation." At present there are only two non-organization members on the Council who have been elected by the women at large. It is for this reason, Miss Husband said, that representatives of Corbin hall and Watkins hall, and the W.S.G.A. Book Exchange manager sit on the meetings.
Dean of women, who came out this morning and said that she was in favor of abilifying combines as it gives sorest girls an unfair advantage. She also denied that the W.S.G.A. is a "pink government" organization.
Council Completes Plans For Intramural Carnival
The Men's Student Council completed plans last night for a University Intra-
national Carnival to be held in March. Delmar Carrier, c'38, was appointed general manager of the Carnival, and the Council appropriated $190 for the expenses of the show with the under-
derstanding that he will receive the receipt of the Carnival.
A general committee was appointed, of which Curry is to serve as ex-officio chairman. The members of the committee are: Arnold Gilbert, c:37; Reed Asher, c:35; Warren Billack, ed:35; Bill Asher, c:38; and Bill Hazen, t:37.
Men's Group Appropriates $150 for Entertainment in March
The first part of the carnival will be held in the Auditorium starting at 7.30. This will include the final matches in wrestling, boxing fencing, (being introduced for the first time on the intramural program), and basketball.
The athletic attractions will be inter- perssed with stunts by the sororities and fraternities, competing for a M.C.S. cup. The winners will be judged by the pressure of the audience. The court will be three times for permanent possession.
Further entertainment will be furnished by the "German Band" which made such a hit at a recent basketball game. During the evening the trophies for all individual and team winners for fall and winter contests will be awarded. The intramural managers will also be presented sweaters.
The carnival will be climaxed by a dance in the Un'on ballroom from 10 to 12 o'clock that night.
Intramural Carnivals have been held successfully in the Big Ten schools for eight or ten years. Several schools in the Big Six also hold the carnivals.
Mitchell To Address Seminar
Mitchell To Address Seminar The Chemistry Seminar will be held at 3:30 this afternoon in room 201 of the chemistry building, "Engineer's Experience in Sumatra" by Bill Mitchell, c'uncel, will be the topic.
Interracial Meet Tonight
Interracial Commission of t. W. will meet tonight at 7 o'clock in Henley House. Miss V. H. Middlebrooks, of the W.C.A. in Kansas City, Mo., will speak to the group on the Passion Play.
+ The present system of nominating candidates in mass meeting was instituted to give independent women a chance to name their candidates so that the election would not be controlled by sorority factions. Miss Husband believes that the non-organization women are themselves in a large measure to blame for not getting their representatives on the Council.
"Non-organization women have every opportunity to work together. By cooperating, they could swing the elections on this campus, but they don't rise to their opportunities," she asserted.
As for the W.S.G.A. Council not accomplishing anything, that is not true, declared Miss Husband. The organization takes an active part in student affairs, and has done especially credible work in the Student Book Exchange which it sponsors. Also, W.S.G.A. is the only organization in the University which makes an effort to offer women the students. Each year the Council brings a vocational expert to the campus with whom the women may confer. To call the Council a "pink" government is unfair, says Miss Husband.
Interviews with women students of the University this morning revealed various reactions to the proposed change in women's elections. Some expressed little knowledge of the subject and were disinterested in it. The majority, however, displayed an active interest in the abolition of combines and bringing about some improvement in the present system.
"I didn't know anything like that was being on." Annie Green, secretary of work.
Margaret Sherwood, president of the Council, could not be found today.
"No matter what kind of system you have, it can't be perfect; but I certainly believe there should be some change." Hassag, president of Alpha Chi Omega.
"I think the combines should not be allowed, and that we should have open voting, so that there would be no ballet marking—and we should have open issues like the men."—Ruth Beaty, president of Sigma Kappa.
"I think the author of the article is a little absurd in saying that the W.S. G.A. doesn't function on the campus"—Betty Cox, president of Chi Omega.
"It would be a good thing to do away with the combines—the smaller sororities haven't a chance." —Ernestine Booer, president of Alpha Xi Delta.
“In any sort of election it is necessary to have some sort of an organization to put it over. There is no exception in student elections. If we are going to have combines, why keep them secret and stop trying to put things over behind people's backs.” -Emma Jo Swainson, president of Kappa Alpha Theta.
"If we are going to have combies, and they are going to exist, we should have them in the open and not in security." Huda Kudan, vice-president of W.S.G.A.
"I believe that combines should be done away with; at any rate, the presen- system should be changed." -Iris Ohen, president of Alba Delta Phi.
When questioned as to combine,
Both Stoland, Fi Phi, expostulated,
Bush used the adjective 'expostulated.'
Ann Hubbard, c37, "I think the presen- system should be changed. Open elections are the thing."
Julia Markham, president of Gamma Phi Beta: "Undoubtedly there have been combines among sororities for W. S.G.A. elections, but in the Kansas article yesterday the figures and facts could have been interpreted quite differently from the way in which the writer used them. For instance, if
