UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 心 The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas 25 NUMBER 71 VOLUME XXXII 4 LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1935 on the SHIN By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35 Cell No. 2960 bids for Jayhawker secretary . . Hips, bips, hurrah for the plumber's friend! . . He didn't raise his boy to be a blotter . . Joan is back. News of former students on the Hill is always welcome—well nearly always—and here is a bit about our well known Bill Howard of Delta Tau, erstwhile super-salesman of the Gamble Stores—perhaps he's President of the chain now—you know good old Bil, never let on how really important to the organization you are. Anyway Bil was working in the Army and we had of two romances by correspondence with a couple of our faire gals proved too much for his patience and his writing arm so he pulled a little gadget, or strings, and had himself all transferred to the Lawrence and new everything is Rosie—or Teamie. One of the newest romances of our campus involves Elizabeth Shearer, secretary of the Jayhawker staff, and a convict Jayhawker subscriber at the Arizona State prison. The affair reached its climax recently when Miss Shearer received a Christmas card from her invalid-but-not-by-choice admirer. Vivacious little Josie Burrows at the Kappa Alpha Theta house played a game of Till be the nurse with sister Betty Gibson the other night—and thereby hangs a tale. Who threw that? Well, Betty had an attack of appendicitis, and always on hand, Josie volunteered for the job of night nurse. She moved her bed as close to Gibson as she could and admonished that worthy patient to merely whisper her smallest command or wish and it would be taken care of. A doctor was called in some time later, Miss Gibson was removed to the hospital, and said Nurse Burrows failed to even so much as stir in their slumbers. X X X A friend has prevailed upon us to run an ad. in this column simply as a good deed—and after all one has to help one's friends in one's friends troubles somehow—or just to run the ad. "Pilgrin Someone to wrap my bandages on Home Nursing Class. It's not for nothing that a certain tool used by plumbers is called those worthy individual's "friend." Since we have recently heard that the Alpha Chi girls are using the good old friend to a remarkable advantage for reducing the hips we wish to humbly advise the manufacturers that sales might go up appreciably if the article were hereafter put on the market as the "Alpha Chi's Friend." At most any time of the morning, afternoon, or night, one may see several "boots of bridge" in the Memorial Union fountain. Since the players are nearly always Pi Phi's we pause to wonder if that notable lodge has guarded on wates or has merely enrolled its children in their collar gang curriculum. X X X Just as a passing remark, we overheard someone say that they wished Joan would hurt and come back so hard. We could tell the usual mannish (Flash) Joan is back.) Between a new column and National Clean-Up Week for the W.S.G.A. this old paper is a busy outfit. It seems that the dear girl's combines—a name for politics which sounds more lady-like to you kids—are about to be exposed. In fact it wouldn't surprise us any if this issue got that likable, as case you saw it before the W.S. it isn't like the A.A.A. C.S.E.P. H.O.L.C., RSVP, or the R.O.T.C. because it is an excuse for the women to govern themselves which they do not do, but they do have some pink-gleave tees. One wit hath said that the one doubtful excuse for the existence of the organization may be found in the fact that it affords the means of setting a few girls up as nominal canaries with them in their papers, get their pictures in the Jayhawker, and—so what? The answer will appear in a later issue—we don't think! The newspapers offer that a much-looked-forward-to event at Harvard, a beer drinking contest, has been cancelled because," The Dear's mad: Harvard's fair white ribbon is thinned, and a man from outside town, has threatened to send his boy to Harper next year." We wonder what the people in Pretty Prairie would say if the Chi Omega challenged the Sigma Chi's to a milk drinking bout. George, the Kampus Kop, has a swell new Cap. Sorority Coalitions Exist Despite Repeated Denials CORBIN HALL PRIZE OF TWO MAJOR GROUPS Pi Phi-Gamma Phi Combine and Theta-Kappa Combinations Vie for Non-Greek Vote BALLOTS EARMARKED W. S.G.A. Overlooks Protests Following Last Year's Election "We are terribly proud of Dean Husband and we like to think she's proud of us too," writes a member of the Women's Self-Governing Association in a recent Jayhawker magazine. She contines, "But don't get any fake ideas about the council being run by her. Her influence is most certainly felt, but it is a very subtle influence and let it be known here and now that she doesn't attend our meetings and hold a rod over us. She likes to think that the women of Kansas University can rule themselves." Thus does the average co-ed rationally realize a futile condition is generally admitted to exist. The women students, under the present set-up can rule themselves very efficiently because little is given them to do. It is doubtful if the officers of the Women's Self-Governing Association, alleged to control the organized activities of the student body, are legally elected. If writing the voter's address on her ballot, or putting an identifying number on each ballot, is secret voting under the "Australian system," the co-ed elections are legal. Two Main Coalitions Every year before election a general discussion is carried on over how ballots can be identified to check combines. Every year during the election the minority party complains. Yet the same rules remain in the W.S.G.A. constitution, mainly that women may not engage in electioneering, and that combines between organized houses are forbidden. On the other hand, no one has ever been elected president of the W.S.G.A. council without the backing of one organized house plus combinations with other organizations. An examination of the votes cast in the past few years readily reveals the nature of the combines. Two main coalition persists: Pi Beta Phi and Gamma Phi Betta; and Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma. The goal of each "party" is to get Corbin hall to join its combine. Last year the dormitory combined with the latter group. Other sororites have "played ball" with both groups, but Pi Phi and Theta never join forces. Minority Party Complains To illustrate the effectiveness of a combine, recall the 1932 class elections in which Mr. Eisenberg and Laverne Wright, Gamma Phi; junior officers, Rae Stoland, Pi Phi, and Lila Lawson, Alpha Chi; and sopo- PINK TEA GOVERNMENT Politics is unadlylive at Kansas, so the women call it "combines." No one who takes the trouble to analyze election results, however, is fooled, for a violet by any other name still smells, if one gets close enough to it. Forbidden to engage in above-board campaigns in which merits and issues may be discussed openly, the women resort to the whisper and the telephone. The result is arrangement of the women voters into definite groups under leadership of consistent combinations of sororities. The correct name for such practices is "politics," however annoying the term may be. After the supposedly snow white election each spring the University is possessed of an organization which calls itself the "Women's Self-Governing Association," and which proceeds to meet throughout the following year and do practically nothing in the way of self-government. Early Senior Enrollment To Begin Week of Jan. 14 The Kansan, electing itself representative of four thousand disgusted students, wishes to raise a protest against the deplorable condition of student government at Kansas. Starting with the W.S.G.A. as the most conspicuous failure on the campus in the field of self-government, the Kansan hopes to bring about changes that will make the student governing bodies worthy of their names. Other Students Should Confer with Advisers at Same Time The week from Jan. 14 through Jan. 18 has been chosen by the College office as a period of early enrollment and pre-dividing. Only those students who have had senior classification during the fall semester of this year and pre-law and pre-medic juniors who expect to enter fall 2015 should be included for the summer session of 1935 or in the fall of 1935 will be allowed the privilege of early enrollment. All other students should confer with their advisers during this pre-advising week and make out their complete program at this time when there is full opportunity for each student to have all the time he desires with his adviser. When during the enrollment period on Feb. 4 and 5 the adviser will simply sign the enrolment card, unless changes are necessary. This will greatly simplify and expedite the process of enrolment on the gymnasium floor. At the time seniors obtain their transcripts at the College Office they should make appointments to see the senior chairman. Before keeping these appointments they must have their enrollment cards signed by their major head of school and pre-professional students must obtain appointments at the College Office with their respective committees as well as with the junior chairman. Juniors and seniors may obtain their transcripts at the College Office before conferring with their major advisers; freshmen and sophomores will go directly to their advisers. Office hours for major advisers will be posted on departmental bulletin boards and for freshmen - sophomore advisers on the bulletin board opposite the entrance to the College Office. Dr. Leo H. Pollock, m31, has been selected as resident surgeon at Mt Sinai hospital in New York City.

JAYHAWKERS TAKE SECOND TIGER GAME Thrilling Cage Tilt Ends With Another Victory for Kansas Squad in Drive for Fifth Successive Big Six Championship Title; 'Dick' Wells Repeats as High Point Man BY DONALD J. EVANS, c35 Kansan Sports Editor University Senate Releases Schedule For Final Exams The University of Kansas Jayhawks made it two in a row in their drive toward the Big Six championship last night by defeating the Missouri Tigers, 36-27. The game was a thriller with the lead changing several times during the 40 minutes. Missing the lead at half time, the Jayhawks rally to the contest out of the fire. Wells was again high point man for Kansas scoring 11 points, while Powell, starred for Missouri. Faculties of Law and Medical Schools Will Make Individual Test Programs The examination schedule carries the customary instructions that the schedule is to be followed except by permission of the examination committee; that the School of Law, and the College of Nursing, own schedules provided they do not cause students to have conflicts with regularly scheduled quizzes. The examination schedule for the fall semester of 1934-35 was adopted by the University Senate at a meeting yesterday afternoon. The Senate also adopted resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Chancellor Frank Strong and received annual reports from three of its standing committees. To Cover Seven Days In accordance with the University policy, the schedule is made to cover seven days, with two examinations scheduled for each day, except Saturday, when the irregular 4:30 classes are added. The complete schedule appears in a box at the bottom of the page. For the sub-committee on advanced standing, Dean Paul B. Lawson reported that the number of students coming with advanced standing is increasing, and over a five-year period has equalled the number of students entering directly from high schools. Of the 670 who entered last year with an average score of 390 or above in the junior college of Kansas City, Mo., which Dean Lawson said, "gives the best training of any junior college in this part of the country." More Advanced Standing Entries Dean Lauson said also that the advanced standing entries from Kansas four-year colleges is increasing, with 224 such students this year ago, and 193 the year before. Severity-seven of the students entering with advanced standing are less C average, and 50 applicants were denied admission on the ground of low scholarship. Lt. Col. W. C. Koeen for the R.O.T.C. committee reported enrollment of 251 last year and 280 this year. He added that several schools are adopting the optional plan of R.O.T.C. which has established itself as establishment of the unit. The calendar committee reported briefly. HARGISS WANTS TO ENTER TEAM IN MILLROSE MEET H. W. Hargiss, track coach and professor of physical education, is corresponding at the present time with Eastern track officials in regard to sending K. U. track men back to the Milrose games in New York, Feb. 2. There has been no definite news yet according to Coach Hargiss. "We will send a full team down to Kansas City, Mo., for the K.C.A.C. meet March 2," he added. This is the meet for which Dr. Reilly, head of the K.C.A.C., is trying to get Bonton and Cunningham to stage a mile duel. To Form Sociology Club 10 Form Society Club A meeting of a committee to consider the forming of a Sociology Club will be held in the sociology office at 3:30 Friday afternoon. The club will be open to all who are interested in sociology. Ray Choate is the chairman of the organization. Kihm Undergoes Operation Fred Kihm, fa35, underwent an emergency operation for appendicitis last night at the Watkins Memorial Hospital. Dr. Mervin Sudler performed the operation. Tigers Lead at Half Wells opened the scoring with a free throw when one and a half minutes were gone. Handley came back immediately with a basket to give the visitors the lead. Gray opened with two long shots that found the netting and Wells followed with a basket to make the score 7-2 after five minutes had been played. Baskets by Gray and Wells and free throws by Kappleman, Wells and Ehling for Kansas; and baskets by Powell, and Handley, and a free throw by Handley brought the score to 15-9 with only two An addition to the regular box score of basketball games is now being carried by the Kansan. Besides the usual statistics of the game, a column that denotes the number of minutes played by each player is also recorded. This column is a unique feature that is probably not used by any other newspaper. Prof. W. A. Dill, associate professor of journalism and director of the University News Bureau, is the originator of the column. Powell Makes Three in a Row Powell Makes Three in a Row Missouri then made its bid for the game with Powell piling in three field goals to give Missouri to give Powell a six-point lead. and a half minutes left in the first half. Missouri sided a rally with a basket by Jorgenson, a basket and a free throw by Beer, and free throws by Powell and Strom to hold a 16-15 lead at half time. In the second half Gray put Kansas in the lead with a basket in the first minute. Jorgenson, however, put Missouri back in the lead with a field goal by Alison Kappleman for Kansas, and Jorgenson for Missouri tied the score with four minutes gone in the last half. The game then, became a mad scramble with the ball traveling back and forth up and down the court. Kansas had all the best of the scoring as Missouri was unable to make a field goal during the last twelve minutes of play. In the spurt which Kansas staged to take the game over, the defense forced a field. Allen made two field goals; Wells made a basket and a free throw and Gray made a field goal. Kansas controlled the tip after Handley, Missouri center was taken from the game in the first half with three personas until Wells committed his fourth personal and was forced from the game in the closing minutes of the game.
