UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas Kansas Maintains Conference Lead By Slight Margin Spirited Rally by Huskers Late in Game Nearly Causes Second Kansas Loss The University of Kansas basketball team scratched out a meager 25 to 24 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers last night in a ragged game that swiftly developed during the closing minutes into a tense climax which had the crowd shrieking wildly as the timekeeper signalled the end. After holding a comfortable 22 to 10 lead, with 10 minutes of the last half gone, the Jayhawkers suddenly saw the tide of fortune change as Lunney, Mason, and Parsons rang up 12 points while Kansas scored only three. With less than seven minutes to go Lunney ran wild and scored eight points, his last goal coming in the final minute of play and bringing the count to 25-24. This victory left Kansas a half game ahead of its nearest Big Six rival, Oklahoma, who was winning 68 to 21 from Kansas State, and the 14 points which Raymond Ebling contributed to his team's score last night brought his total to 76 points, second among the scorers. Ragged Play Throughout Rugged Play Throughout The game last night was very ranged, with door passing in and a great deal of helter-skimmer action in the ball. The Jayhawkers had control of the ball the most of the time but a large share of their shots were ineffective, although close. The Cornhuskers didn't miss many of the scattered attempts which they contrived to get through the home team's strong defense. A remarkable feature of the game was the manner in which Eling standed, scored during the first half. The half ended at 13 to 5 for Kansas, and Ebling made the first 11 points of the 13. He connected with five goals and scored twice in the whole game. Harrington birth for Kansas with three goals. Although Lunney did not start scoring until the last seven minutes he was second for Nebraska with eight points, to Parsons, who gathered 10. Scorson, 6 feet 4 inch Husker center, controlled the tip over Dick Wells consistently but Dick's teammates frequently intercepted the tall Cornhusker's tip. Free Throws a Big Factor According to the box score each team made 10 goals, and each missed three free throws, so the charity tesss were a large factor in the game. Coach Browne of Nebraska desperately shifted his men in the lineup during the final crucial minutes. His strategy proved effective and the Jawhawkers battled grimly to protect their one-point lead as, with 10 seconds remaining, the Cornhuskers took the tip from center and drove toward the basket, only to pile up under the goal, entangled with the fighting Kansans. Between halves entertainment was furnished by two midfield teams from Kansas City, the Bearcats and the Falcolns, who played the first half of their game in the game and finished during the intermission. The Bearcats won, 13 to 7.

At that time 350 persons, 233 men and 115 women, will have been given work in accordance with CSEP provisions. More than the minimum of new students have been given employment. Students have all been assigned to jobs, and most of them are already at work. Almost every conceivable type of job is listed in the employment bulletin, and nearly all of the University departments are represented. As far as possible, each student has been assigned to work particularly fitted to him. Medical students must know medical terms, and other students must be equally well-versed in the work which they will undertake. NUMBER 94 "Each application approved was taken directly to the head of the department to be sanctioned before definite arrangements were made. Naturally there have been a few misfits and some adjustments have already been made. So far splendid reports have been coming in," Miss Olsen said. The workers are trying hard to fill the quota of work which is allowed them for this month. If they are able to complete a month's work in the time remaining in February, they will be given full pay. Work on the grounds, the largest division of the CSEP project is going forth rapidly. The ground in front of Watson library is being prepared for the laying of walks and landscaping, the old cisterns behind Fraser are being filled, and other campus construction is taking shape. In the spring there will be trees and flower beds to be planted. Skilton Gives Organ Recital Brass Quartet Assists Professor for Unusual Feature The program offered several unusual features, one of which was the presentation of a set of four shorter numbers by Seth Blagham, called "Harmonies of Florence" and another was the use of a brass quartet with the organ.

A few minor changes have been made in the 13-cent meal plan recently revived at the Memorial Union cafeteria for the benefit of CSEP students. Students receiving special aid under the plan are no longer required to enter by a certain door or to sit in a specified section, it has been announced. A fair sized audience attended the veser protram.

Lindley Summarizes Plan for Giving Students Jobs Speaking before a noon lurcheon of the Lawrence Rotary club yesterday Chancellor E. H. Lindley outlined the gradual movement of the last few years which recently culminated in the sponsoring of the student aid activity plan by the federal government. Chancellor Talks at Rotary This aid movement had made its way through confertions with educators and administrators, and finally to President Roosevelt, all since he and Mrs. Lindley were asked for a ride in the car, former students of the University, he said. Chancellor Lindley recently made a trip to Washington where he first met with Harry L. Hopkins, Civil Works director, who was much interested and advised a conference with the President.

Journalism Department Given Cartoon Collection A collection of original cartoons and comic strip drawings, said to be one of the most complete in the United States, has been presented to the University of Kansas department of journalism by Albert T. Reid of New York University to facilitate college operator and national vice-president of the American Artists' league. More Than Eighty Original Drawings in Gift of Albert Reid There are more than 80 originals in the Reid catalog, dating from the early political onslaughts of Thomas Nast to the serialized comic strips of today. The drawings have been collected by Mr. Reid over a number of years; and all attempts by persons to buy the collection or have it put on exhibition have been refused. As a native of Copenhagen, he was in the possession of his own state and sent the art work to Prof. L. N. Flint, head of the department of journalism. "The prize of my collection, I think," Mr. Reid wrote to Professor Flint, "is a Nast cartoon, an original. There aren't many Nast originals in existence now. When the public realizes their creations, they are not noticed. Those cartoons often took him nearly a week to complete, because they were carved on wood blocks." The cartoon is one of the ingenuious caricatures of the father of American political cartoons, who is credited with the creation of the Democratic donkey the Republican elephant and the Tammany tiger. In it Nast displayed the surrender to Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock of the "Solid South." A number of Mr. Reid's own works are included in the collection. He is recognized as one of the foremost American cartoonists and illustrator and has worked as cartoonist for the Kansas City Star. Other autographed drawings in the collection received by the university are by Herbert Johnson, Boardman Robertson, James Montgomery Flagg, Homer Davenport, William Allen Rogers, Robert Minor, Fred Oppen, John F. McCutechon, J. F. Enright, Jay N. Darling, Jefferson Machamer, George W. Rehse, J. P. Alley, Ole May and several others. Pastebords originals of modern comic strips are by Bud Fisher, Rube Goldberg, Gene Byrnes, George McManus, Billy DeBeck, George Herriman and the late Clare Briggs. The gift collection will soon be placed on display in Spooner-Thayer Art Museum, the exact date has not yet been determined. Plans are being made to put the drawings in glass cases to protect them from injury. Psi Chi Hears Book Review About thirty members of the University Men's Glee club, under the direction of Howard C.

Norman Thomas, Socialist Leader, To Give Lecture Convocation Speaker Comes to University Campus for Second Time in Three Years Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock Norman Thomas, student of political affairs and well known Socialist leader, will for the second time in the last three years be the speaker at a University student conventation. His address on "Students and Social Evolution" is the same he gave several months ago to students at the University of Michigan. Mr. Thomas was a visitor at the University in 1331, giving three talks during his stay here. At that time he was executive director of the league for industrial democracy. Predicted Present Moves In one of those talks Mr. Thomas laid the cause of the depression, not at the door of the World War, but as he expressed it, to "the marriage of capitalism and nationalism." He then advocated in his peace program, several movements concerning world affairs which have been or are tending to be brought about. Among those plans was the recognition of, and trade with, Russia, a tariff revision, and the cancellation of war debts. To these points he said that there are three main private debts by force of arms, and the setting up of a new fiscal system. Widely known as Socialist Mr. Thomas is widely known as a Socialist, and perhaps better known as a party leader and lecturer than as an author or minister. He was a candidate for the United States on the Socialist ticket in 1923 and 1932. He also ran as candidate for the governorship of New York in 1924 and for the office of mayor of New York in 1925 on the same ticket. As a writer, Mr. Thomas is contributing editor of "The World Temporow," "The Nation," and "The New Leader." Among his best books are "The Conscientious Objector in America" and "The Consequences of theism of Our Times," and "Presperity." He is an ordained minister of the Presbyterian church.

MELLETT LECTURE TO BE HERE THIS YEAR Memorial Occasion Honors Former Newspaper Man Who Was Shot in Back by Gangsters SECOND TIME IN WEST Roberts, Managing Editor of Kansas City Star to Present Address Each year some university or college sponsors the lecture and this will mark the second time the occasion has come to a mid-western institution. Roy Roberts, manager-editor of the Kansas City Star will deliver the address sometime in April. The Don R. Mellett Memorial Lecture will be given at the University of Kansas this year for the first time since the establishment of the honorary occasion. Announcement was made public today by Prof. H. B. Pathbone of the journalism department at New York University. Conducted Vigorous Campaign The occasion honors Don R. Mellet, former editor of the Canton Ohio News, who was shot in the back and killed by assassins on July 16, 1925, at Canton, Ohio. Just previous to his murder, Mellett had conducted a vigorous newspaper campaign against social and civic corruption which led to the removal of the mayor of Canton by the governor of Ohio. It also led to the conviction of the mayor's brother, who was alleged to have organized the Canton underworld and exacted a toll of graft from all of its various activities. Roy Roberts, the fifth person to deliver this memorial lecture, was born at Muscatoch, on Nov. 25, 1887, and spent his early life there before entering the journalism department at the University of Kansas in 1905. His practical newspaper work started in that same year when he was employed by the New York City Public Library. Later that year he became city editor and continued in that capacity until 1909 when he received a position with the Kansas City Star. An Experienced Newspaper Man During his stay with the Star, Roberts has been the Missouri legislature correspondent for four sessions; He was the Washington correspondent from 1915 to 1928; He covered the national political conventions in 1912, 1916, 1920, 1924 and 1928, and in 1928 was chosen as managing-editor of the Star. During the World War Roberts served as captain in the Adjunct Genuels Department at Camp Sherman, and at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. While attending the University he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega. He is now a member of the National College and president of the Gridleen club. The Don Mellett Memorial Lecture- ship was founded by a committee headed by James Melvin Lee, then chairman of the department of journal- sm at New York University. Marlen E. Pew, editor of Editor and Publisher, delivered the first address and was followed by Burgess Johnson, professor of English, at Syracuse University; Robert R.
