Using mostly sophomores in the starting line, the Kansas Jayhawkers will seek to do tonight what only Missouri has been able to do this season, win a non-conference game from the Oklahoma Sooners.
Whether the Jayhawkers are successful tonight or not they will be more than anxious to annex Friday night's game which will count in the Big Six standings. By winning the latter game the Jayhawkers could go into a tie for first place with the Sooners who are undefeated to date in conference play.
Forrest Cox, freshman coach, will be in charge of the squad tonight in the absence of Dr. F. C. Allen, coach, who has been confined to his home for the past week with an attack of influenza. He will also practice for a time last evening, definitely as announced today that he would not be present at tonight's game.
The non-conference struggle this evening will probably be a good deal of a preliminary game in many respects. Meeting for the first time this season, the teams are expected to spend a good deal of time in feeling out the weaknesses and the strong spots.
Hampered by the loss of four players, among them Gordon Gray, regular guard, and their coach, Dr. Allen, the Jayhawkers are expected to drop both games to the leaders. Dr. Allen repeated today that Kansas is a relatively experienced team. He said, however, that everything would be done to avoid over-confidence in the event that Kansas won the opener this evening.
Hugh McDermott, Oklahoma coach, would not announce his starting lineup this afternoon, but he intimated that the same players who have borne the brunt of the Oklahoma attack in previous games would probably start. Ervyl Bross, "Bud" Browning, Donald Hayes, Harold LeCrore, Wayne LeCrone, Percy Main, Charles Munson, Stanley Tyler and Edgar Warren were the nine men who made the trip; all of them will probably see service in tonight's game
After playing a two-night stand here, Oklahoma will move on to Ames, where another conference game will take place. Iowa State College, Saturday, night.
Kansas would not be entirely out of the running for the title if they lost to-morrow night's game, but chances would be very slim.
Last Game to Be Played
Pi Phi and Independent Contest to Close Sectional Tournament
The one remaining game of women's intramural basketball which will complete the tournament started last semester, will be played next Tuesday night, Feb. 13 at 8 o'clock between the Independents and the Pi Phis.
Moxley-Parkinson will play Hunter-Edie sometimes today in a semi-final deck tennis match. The winner will then play the winning team in the semifinal. The winner will Hoover - Lawson. The finals will be completed within the next week.
An intramural meeting was held this afternoon at 4:30 to make arrangements for an intramural program for this week. Of the various groups should be present.
The general program for intramurals will be to complete the basketball tournament by teams chosen to represent the classes in the class tournament. A basketball throw contest will be conducted but the definite arrangements should be made further. Fourth plans include a ping pong tournament and a swimming meet.
Classes for the coming semester are basketball; advanced and intermediate swimming; life saving; diving; elementary, intermediate, and advanced tap elementary and advanced interpretive elementary folk dancing and fencing.
Missouri Chapter Honored
Columbia, Mo.—(UP)—The University of Missouri chapter of Phil Delta Theta fraternity was awarded the Harvard trophy as the most outstanding chapter of that fraternity in the United States in point of scholarship and all-around school activities for the second successive year.
Sooner Trackster Wears His "O" Sweater To Bed With Him
Norman, Feb. 8—(Special)—John Jacobs, Sooner track coach, tells this one on Loris Moody, his half-miler with the broken leg.
Monday the Oklahoma track team's sweaters arrived, brand new white ones with a big red "O" inscribed across the chest. Moody got one, his first. That night Jacobs, who lives close to Moody, wanted to show friends what the new sweaters looked like and stepped across the street to borrow Moody's.
The coach claims he had to arouse the sleeping athlete to take the sweater off him. Moody had taken the sweater to bed with him, wearing it over his pajamas.

Filipino Club Honors Surla
Dinner Held for Former Graduate a
Departure for Native Country
The program consisted of musical selections, speeches, and folk dances, and a gift was presented to Surla by the club. The party then accompanied him to the bus depot to see him off for Chicago where he will be joined by friends who are also leaving for the Philippines.
The K. U. Filipino club held a banquet at Wiedemann's last Thursday night in honor of Marcelino Surla, '33, who is leaving for the homeland. Surla, who graduated last June with the degree of Master of Science expects to start on a job as soon as he reaches home.
Plans were also made, at the banquet for a re-union of the Filipino Jayhawkers of 1933-34, and other Filipino K.U alumni in Manila during the Philippine carnival season of 1944.
"We Filipino Jayhawkers of 1933-34 feel that we may not see each other again after leaving the University of Kansas. Coming from different parts of the Islands not knowing each other as we now do, we realized that it is fun to meet here in this great American institution. Perhaps it will be more fun when we Filipino Jayhawkers of 1933- someday stand and sing together "The 34 and other Filipino K.U. alumni will Crimson and Blue" ten years hence," said Miguel Aguilar, b34, president of the K. U. Pelican club.
Novel by Former Student Portrays Typical Scenes of Boom Town Life
Howard Stephenson, a former University student, has recently completed a new novel called "Glass." This novel fulfills a recent prophecy of Harry Hansen that there are some great stories still to be written in America by those who have lived during the period that these stories will deal with sufferings and defeat, as well as with victory.
Here is a close-up of an old glass factory long since obliterated with early tales of the infusx of the Belgian glass-blowers amazing the villagers with their strange talk, the glass canes, and the blooming white and gloss flowers—legends of bolstered open-handed, mighty-lunged men and their frightened maids transformed the countryseid into a dizzy midway flaring with gas flambeau.
"Glass" is the story of George Rood's love of the soil and his singly handed fight against the boom-town that springs up over-night at his front gate.
Sooners to Start Practice
Large Group of Letter and Squad Men
Heed Football Cell
Norman, Feb. 8.—(Special)–Spring football at the University of Oklahoma will start Monday at Owen field with Coaches Lewie Hardware and John "Bo" Rowland expecting 21 letter men from last year, eight squad men and 45 players. The team is recommended for numerals by freshman Coach Lawrence "Jap" Haskell.
Although there are some likely looking backs among the oncoming freshmen, the yearling squash's strength runs largely to linemen. Foremost among the freshmen ends are Ralph Brown, 130-pounder from Hobart; Jay Thomas, 167-pounder from Seminole; and Harry Allen, rangy 175-pounder from Tulaa. Brown is a feroeous tackler and looks like a find.
Seven seniors have played their last football for the Sooners. They are Bob Dunlap, quarterback; Bill Pansale, back; Ellis Bashara, guard; Harold Fleetwood, center; Jiggs Whittington, guard; Orville Core, tackle and Mar-
tial McCarthy, defense of the remaining 21 "O" men played their first intercollegiate football last fall.
Connie Ahrens, 180-pound Oklahoma City boy, is considered a bright prospect among the guards and tackles, as is Harold Harmon, 190-pounder from Buffalo. Mickey Parks, 200-pound Shawnee youth, and Roy Knight, a young giant from Eldorado, Ark, are leading centers.
Last year Hardage and Rowland conducted a six weeks spring drill conceded the most successful ever held at Oklahoma, playing six practice games and arousing a world of interest. As it was last spring, blocking will be the fundamental most emphasized again this year.
Madison, Wis., Feb. 7 — Additional fees of $50 and $23 which were levied last fall against students in the professional schools of medicine and law at the University of Wisconsin, have been reduced 50 per cent for the spring semester. The increased fees were found to have but little effect on the enrollment last fall, but university authorities found that many students were finding it difficult to pay the increased fees.
Wisconsin Reduces Food
On the night that a gas well is brought in at the Karchefarm across the road George Rood loses his wife. When a glass factory is erected on the Karcher place, Rood refuses to take the ready wealth he could have by permitting a gas well to be sunk in his own black acres. His sudden, new love for Mamie, whom he loses to loutish Jake Karcher, the flaunting success of the industrial life which centers in the hated glass-works, deepens Rood's devotion to his farm and his son.
Shrugging her famous shoulders while a beautiful fur coat slipped off them, the languorous star leaned back and puffed a cigarette, musing over more additional advice she might give the more naive co-eds. She paused to tuck a stray lock of the platinum hair under a small black hat and then went on.
Then, after man had stolen the gas out of the earth's stove-pockets with a gaudy recklessness, came the birth of an era, the triumph of a new age.
The characterization that Eugene Field gave Denman Thompson's "The Old Homestead" might well be said of this story—it possesses the peculiar flavor of the unashamedly sentimental generation that produced it.
Two large chandeliers will soon be installed in the recently finished Memorial Union ballroom. The Union Operating committee has decided to purchase ornamental fixtures from a Kansas City company. Money for purchasing the chandeliers has become available through a loan from the class of 1834, according to Henry Werner, chairman of the Union Operating committee.
There will be two large chandens in the high ceiling room with a three-circuit, three-colored light system, equipped with dimmers to produce innumerable color combinations from the primary colors.
Ball Room Chandeliers Ready for Installation
"Play fairly," she said. "At least give the impression of being open and frank Be well groomed and a little hit provoking and elusive. Don't throw yourself at the man and by all means don't act possessive."
Complete Lighting System Possible Through Class Loan
The advice itself is very short. It's "know all the tricks." The trouble is that the innocent is no better off than before on hearing that advice unless she can find someone to tell her "tricks" or unless she ventures into the experimental realm of experience. The screen star went on to explain a little.
University co-eds who are yearning to "hold their men" might well hark to the advice of the glittering Jean Harlow, given to co-eds at the University of California during a recent interview.
The Bally Reynolds company has installed chandeliers in various ballroom in cities and in college towns. They placed chandeliers in the ballroom at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, in the Hotel Tiger at Columbia Mo., in the Hotel Cornhusker at Linwood, in the Hotel Grill, and also did the inside lighting work at the Nelson Art Museum which was recently completed in Kansas City.
On the low ceilings will be 22 small chandeliers to match the large fixtures. They also will be equipped with colored lights which must be regulated at the fixture.
There are several new features in the chandeliers which use glass rods to pick up colors to afford distribution of colored lights.
"A college education is a decided aid, no matter what career one chooses," reflected the blue eyed blonde. "I didn't think I could do that." But screen stars of my acquaintance who
'Know All the Tricks but Play Fair,' Jean Harlow Advises College Co-Eds
This company has installed the ornamental lighting fixtures in most of the University buildings, including the Administration building and the University auditorium.
The first mid-week varsity will be held in the new ballroom next Wednesday night, Feb. 14, from 7 to 8 o'clock
Oread Enrollment Has Increased The enrollment in Oread Training School shows an increase of one student over last semester. The total enrollment for the coming semester is 105.
"But it wouldn't be fair to teach college women to be in irresistible without warning the men," commented Miss Harlow. She toyed with the clap on her swank black purse and raised a quizzical eyebrow.
are university graduates seem to have more confidence and personality. A certain broadening and background not found anywhere else are given by colleges.
"College men, as well as girls, should try to be a little elusive. But occasionally masterful. It is a good idea for a man to be seen places with other women once in a while. I would advise the col-
Miss Harlow insisted that she and her mother read and answer personally all of her fan mail. Contrary to public opinion, half of the mail is from women. The cynic might add that probably women write in to ask Miss Harlow to stay with them for six months so that their husbands will stay away from the 'movies for a while.
Miss Harlow has a habit of collecting autographed pictures of all her friends. In fact, one of the rooms in her home is so plastered with handwriting that it has been nicknamed the "Autograph Room." University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.

Hindu Dancers to Depict Exotic Legends Monday
NUMBER_86
Orchestra of Indian Musicians Accompanies Unusual Troupe
With his company of Hindu dancers and accompanied by a strange orchestra of Hindu musicians, Shan-Kar will dance at the University Auditorium Monday, Feb. 12. A Hindu of high caste, he has explored the references to dance in the religious and dramatic literature of India, as well as the dance forms in sculpture and paintings. This is not however Shan-Kar's first visit to America. Previous to last year's amazing success with New York audiences, he came with Anna Paplowa in 1923 and appeared with her in the Radha-Krishna Ballet as her partner and producer.
Shan-Kar's program of dances soon to be revealed here, depicts legends about Shiva, Rama, and Krishna. These are traditional subjects of Hindu folklore, sustained by the direct irresistible power of Hindu music and are known to touch the hearts of the people, even to the lowest Hindu peasant.
At the same time these dances are gorgeous pagants and exciting dramas dealing with the amorous and often humorous exploits of the Hindu gods, and accompanied by the strangely thrilling music of a Hindu orchestra, they reveal a novelty on the stage that has never been surpassed in recent years. Shan-Kar is accompanied by two female dancers of unusual beauty and self-facing personality. The members of the orchestra, who are arranged in a sitting position at the rear of the stage, play a variety of 55 different exotic instruments, producing music of a kind very seldom heard in the western world if ever.
The Oriental does not believe that the only things to dance with are the feet; he favors, if anything, hands and arms, but his torso is almost equally plant and eloquent as are eyes, eyebrows, and lips. Shan-Kan's hands are miracles of fluency, as supple, strong, and delicate at the flight of birds. His dance of India in which the god teachest him a dance to the lesser deities, illustrate this accomplishment in a dazzling degree.

AUTHORIZED PARTIES Friday, Feb. 9
for Joint Com. on Student Affairs
Temporary Delay Halts Federal Aid Student Project
Applications for Employment Still Received at Alumni Office However
MEETING CALLED
All students (both men and women) who have made application for employment under the special student grant from federal funds, are asked to meet tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Central Administration building. At that time formal application blanks will be available to be filled out, and instructions will be given all interested.
CSEF—College Student Employment Project—is the tentative name adopted for the plan under which students are to be given employment from federal funds. The project is being administered by the Kansas Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the child is therefore somewhat related to the CWA.
A slight delay has entered the project for providing work for students from federal funds, while blank forms are being prepared for use in all Kansas colleges and universities.
This detail is necessary since the College Student Employment Project provides for the making of each school's action through the state administrator.
John Stutz, state administrator, will be here this afternoon from his office in Topeka, for a conference with University officials, and it is expected that the necessary blanks will be ready for use tomorrow.
New Applications Signed
the meaning of employment for employment under this federal grant are being received *f* Fred Ellsworth, in charge of the men's employment bureau, and Mrs. Dora Bryant, assistant to the dean of women, and in charge of placing the women desiring positions.
Mr. Ellsworth said that not only are many of the 229 previous applicants for work signing temporary applications for the federal employment, but many other students have made their applications.
Consideration of these applications will be given by a suitable committee. University authorities had not determined this morning whether one of the standing committees would be asked to take on the additional work, or whether a special committee would be named. Decision will be made soon, however.
"Anyone that even $20 is not sufficient to pay all expenses of a college student for a month. Either he musa have a room already provided, or some place to work for his board. In other words, this committee is going to have to search for that group of students who have part of the bare necessities, but not enough to enable them to continue without the federal work.
**Careful Consideration Necessary**
"Administration of the project is going to take much careful consideration," said Mr. Ellsworth. "The federal regulations require that work is to be given only to those students who, without the work, would be unable to remain in school. At the same time, each institution is held to an average of $15 a month for each student so employed. In other words, for every job paying $2 a month there must be one that pays $10."
Human Equation Considered
"Then, there is the human equation to be considered," continued Mr. Ellsworth. "It will be necessary for the committee to weigh the pleas of the applicants for jobs.
"Sometimes an applicant is simply ambitious and asks for a job, and actually works hard at it in order to add to his spending money. Other applicants simply think they want a job, and soon tire. Just yesterday I discovered that one of ten students who were sent to the buildings and grounds department Jan. 15, had worked but $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours. His name on the list kept one of 15 other anxious applicants from getting work."
Must Be New Work
Mr. Ellsworth also called attention to the fact that properly the federal work is not to be called a CWA project. The Student Employment Project "-CSSP"
University authorities are having no difficulty in finding tasks that may properly come under the project. The "ederal regulations provide that the
