At a local cinema the other night they were presenting an advertisement for a certain style of permanent wave. One of the latest modes in coiffures was being flashed from the screen, and at the same time a voice over the vitaphone was saying: "Ladies, come down and have one of these exquisite hairstyles worn from K. U. who was sitting in about the third row from the front yelled: 'Back in the town where I come from you call 'em 'Saloons.'"
Everyone had fun at the midweek varsity Wednesday night. It was hot—a little — but not so warm that people could not enjoy dancing to the old jazz blues as played by Bill Phipps' band. There was almost a fight. Some gent tagged a Beta a too roughly and it looked for a minute like the two were going to the mat right there in the ballroom—but someone stepped between them, spoke a few soothing words and thus poured oil on the troubled waters — the prissy-tise. Dorothy Brinker wrote a white tailored suit which looked very slick. Another attractively dressed person was Ruth Wynne, who lived all over the floor, apparently doing pretty well by himself. Park Wilcox was in his accustomed station down in front of the floor, listening to the fine choruses "Doc" Miller—The Ace—took every so often on the second-hand clarinet which he bought for $10 in a hock shop in Kansas City.
Hey, Elmer. They'd better invent ubber gardenias before they invite Ug' Minch to any more sorcery parties. If you give him a chance he'll at the live kind raw.
Bill Phipps has little faith in the musical judgment of student varity-goers. He maintains--correctly enough --that most people can't tell when music is good and when it isn't, and that the only quality a dance band needs in order to go with dancers is an ability to "sell out" to the public.
It was a good varsity. Millie White left in a huff. Someone told her she was the best ghandi-dancer in school.
Last Saturday his band was playing a job in Columbia, Mo., after the KU-MU. track meet. Some woosey gents were watching him. Bluntly, bluntly, "Phipps, your band, stinks."
“You’re not telling me anything.” Phipps replied, and turning to his band he said, “I don’t mind the insult at all, but that guy was just guessing all the time. It makes me mad that he guessed right.”

Weather Forecasts More Accurate Than Public Believes, Says Dr. Alter
"The daily forecasts of weather affect each of us." Dr. Dinsmore Alter said last night in his Questions of Science program. "Every paper carries them for the surrounding region. When drought threatens, they intensify or change the course of speculative grain trading. One of the national sports is to tell of their being wrong."
"The minimum equipment used is a pair of thermometers to read the maximum and minimum temperatures during measurement for the accurate measurement of rain."
Dr. Alter said that comparatively few people know how the forecasts are made and of why they must be right nearly all the time.
Dr. Alter said that in the more complete stations they have thermographs and barographs which automatically keep continuous records of the temperature and pressure for the entire day. In addition they have automatic rain recorders, sounding balloons to measure velocity of wind, and other instruments.
The country is divided up into main stations to which the thousands of local observers send their reports twice a day. The Lawrence station's report is sent to Denver. There the weather man records these reports on maps, one to show places of equal barometric pressure, and another to show places of high or low pressure on maps with those made previously, and then he publishes the report that is made from these maps for the general information of the public.
"In general the forecaster cannot go far wrong. Perhaps the storm arrives three or four hours earlier or later than expected, but usually not more than that. This does not apply to the area, perhaps a couple of hundred miles wide, parallel to the expected path of the storm and near to its edge. A storm may be shifted north or south of the expected path and cover some territory it was not expected to cover. We sometimes notice this in Kansas when we get a prediction of snow and much colder that fails to materialize. The next time this happens look at the report from Nebraska and you will find that it has snowed there."
Journalism Started Here 40 Years Ago by Hopkins
Continued (from page 1)
(Continued from page 1) in inducing the student publishers to surrender the Kansan to the newspaper classes.
Charles M. Harger Lectures
Among the newspaper men who lectured to K.U. journalism students at that time was the editor of the Rhoeas journal, the lecturer was Charles M. Harger of Abilene, now chairman of the Board of Regents. Through the year 1905-06, Mr. Harger lectured regularly once a month to the newspaper men. The local details of organization and teaching remained through this period in the hands of Prof. Hopkins, as from the beginning. Among these lecturers was L. N. Flint, 97, who had been publisher and part owner of The Manhattan Nationalist, and was then alumni secretary of the University. During this year as before, volunteers from the Freshman Rhetoric class served as reporters doing the extra work for Rhetoric credit only.
In 1966-1967, Mr. Flint took charge of this volunteer section in addition to his duties as alumni secretary. As manager of the new printing plant filibustered the records he was able to provide K. U. Journalism with the hoped-for press.
During the years 1907 to 1909, Mr. Harger and Mr. Flint took full charge of the work in Journalism, as members of the department which had established it. The course in reporting was made an independent sophomore study, but was still credited as an English course.
In the fall of 1909, on the recommendation of Prof. Hopkins, the work in journalism was made autonomous under the direction of Mr. Harger, with Mr. Flint as associate, and Mr. Murray as secretary. Hopkins' connection with Journalism as a separate department Prof. Hopkins' connection with that work came to an end.
The text book committee of the mathematics department is recommending a change in textbooks for all beginning courses in calculus to be effective next fall. The new book, Love's "Calculus" is a new and revised edition of a book that was used here second time. A book by Dalker and Hartig has been used, and will continue to be used in second courses next year.
CHANGE IN CALCULUS TEXT
PROPOSED FOR NEXT YI
In the preface of the new book Clyde E. Love, the author, has expressed his gratitude to Prof. H. E. Jordan, associate professor of sociology, and his colleagues of this University who submitted a considerable list of highly constructive suggestions for the revision of the book.
Dr. Alter said that prediction of thunderstorms is much more difficult because often the storm does not cover an area more than 25 miles across. Often these small storms originate within one state, and when the map is made there may have been none existing. If the forecaster knows the weather is clear over an area, but the heating of the earth's surface will cause air to rise, expand, and cool, we can be affected by clouds to cloudy form, with coniferation and clouds to form, he will predict "fair except for possible scattered local thunderstorms."
Dr. Dinsmore said "that most people believe that 'fair' means clear. This is not true. Fair means that there is no danger of rain or other storm. When it is predicted one should be able to depend on there being no rain, but not necessarily sunshine."

Weather bureaus can tell when there is danger of a tornado, but they never tell the public for the simple reason that the largest tornado covers only a small area, and to announce the fact would disturb people of people and disrupt business.
"The work of the weather bureau can be improved," said Dr. Alter. "The predictions can be made more accurate. The improvement, however, does not lie with the service, but with Congress. If funds were available to map the country every four hours and show what would happen in various situations, the prediction would be almost 100 per cent accurate instead of 88 per cent."
In his program next week Dr. Alter will discuss the following questions: What per cent of the light of the sun is received by the earth? Does not progress in physical science through labor saving inventions threaten the future of civilization? What were the kids ages? Will we have others in the future?

BEAUTIFUL IRIS ON CAMPUS WE GIVEN TO UNIVERSITY
Persons observing the long bed of iris on the bank west of Green Hall inquired its origin. A Vap Horebeck, University gardener, said today that the plants were the gift of Prof. and Mrs. Frank E. Jones, who have large gardens at their home on East Thirteenth street.
Three years ago, when they wanted to plant half their iris bed with some other flower, decided to give the plants to the University rather than to try to find a market. The plants were very acceptable to the University being placed where the bank was so steep that grass was hard to grow, and difficult to cut with lawn mowers.
