Cunningham Wins Wanamaker Mile; Venzke Is Second
Kansan Sets Mark at 4:11.2 Guest Last Night at Seton Hall; to Run Hunter Mile Saturday
Glen Cunningham easily defeated his Pennsylvania rival, Gene Venzke, Saturday in the Wanamaker maker, which is the feature of the Millrose A. A. track and field carnival at Madison Square Garden, New York, Saturday night in 4:11.2, the best time he was made indoors. Last year Cunningham won, with Venzke second, in 4:13.
This makes the fourth time of five contests that Cunningham has defeated Venzke. The victory in the Wana-maker mile now gives him full possession of the Rodman Wanamaker trophy although Venzke had already one leg on it.
At the beginning of the race Jee Mangan, Columbia star, took the lead but was soon passed by Venzke, who moved to the front position. It was not until the back stretch of the ninth lap that Cunningham took the lead position. Once in the lead he pulled steadily away from his opponents. Venzke, the indoor sensation of two years ago, was the nearest contender finishing a good eight yards behind, while Glen Dawson, Tula A. C., trailed thirty yards farther.
Last night Cunningham was to have run an exhibition half mile run at the eighth annual Seton Hall College run at Newark, N. J. This appearance was not for any special event but more to further the interest in good sportsmanship and amateur athletics.
The Seton Hall event was not originally on Cunningham's program although he had received an invitation before he left Lawrence. However, Coach Hargiss was authorized to use his judgment as to whether or not he should appear.
Next Saturday Cunningham will make his next eastern appearance at Boston, Mass., where he will run in the Hunter mile, sponsored by the Boston Athletic club. The Hunter mile is one of the longest established of the indoor mile events.
Uday Shan-Kar and Troupe to be Added Feature of Concert Series
Dancers to Appear Monday
Uday Shan-Kar and his world-famous troupe of dancers and musicians will appear in Lawrence next Monday evening in the University auditorium, as an added attraction on the concert course.
This group of 15 dancers and musicians with a Hindu orchestra of 110 different instruments is the first organization to appear in Lawrence in many years.
Among the many dances to be given here will be the Radha and the Krishna, a bucolic dance commemorating the love of the god Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu who enchanted the shepherdesses with the sound of her fute; the Ganga Paa, a dance of a young girl on the short of the Ganges during the festival held in honor of the sacred river; Dance of the Snake Charmer, a common sight in the streets of India.
The Rama Chandra or Festival Dance; the Nautch, a dance of two young girls during the festival held in honor of the Dance, a folk dance of India representing the sowing and harvesting of rice; Dance of the Hunter, portraying a primitive hunter on the scent of his prey; the Devil Dance; the Snamum; and the Tandave Nritta. Te Sword Dance in which Shan-Kar swings a sword within a few inches of his partner's head is one which entails extreme danger.
An effort was made last year to bring this famous dancing troupe to Lawrence but suitable dates could not be arranged.

Giles Chosen Accompanist
Ponselle Selects Pianist Who Assisted In Concert Here
Miss Gayle Giles, who was chosen accompanist to Rosa Ponselle Sunday afternoon, first became acquainted with the opera star when she pinch-hitted for Stuart Ross, Miss Ponselle's regular accompanist, here at the University Nov. 6 at the Ponselle concert.
Miss Giles was a student of John Thompson at the Kansas City Horner Conservatory of Music and was working her way through school by being an accompanist to the voice pupils of Henry H. Gorrell.
The Jawhawk grocery 14th and Ohio, was robbed last night of cigarettes, tobacco and a little money. The robbers entered the store by means of an open window. Groceries and foodstuffs were left untouched. A check of the stock revealed that about $35 worth of tobacco was taken and about $6 in cash.
When Mr. Ross was suddenly called away by the death of a relative just before the concert, Miss Ponselle asked Miss Giles to accompany her. Miss Giles was praised by Dean D. M. Swarthout for her work that night.
Jayhawk Grocery Robbed
A gift of $400 was recently donated to the student loan fund of the University by the class of 1926. Wilfred L. Belgrade "26, former Jayhawk basketball star and class president, represented the class in making the gift.
Needy Students May Secure Aid From CWA Fund
Administrator Hopkins t Arrange Part - Time Jobs for Men and Women
Washington, Feb. 5 — (UP) – Relie and Civil Works Administrator Harry Hopkins today arranged to give part-time jobs to 100,000 needy young men and women to enable them to attend colleges and universities during the second semester now beginning.
"The Program," Hopkins said, "will require expenditures of between $5-000,000 and $7,000,000 of federal relief funds. The students will apply to authorities of the various institutions who will submit requests for allotments to receive relief administrations.
State relief authorities have been authorized by the federal administration to provide part-time jobs at the colleges for needy students up to 10 percent of their regular enrollment of full time students as of Oct. 15, 1933.
The plan will provide part-time employment to the end of the current academic year, but not including the 1934 summer session.
Must Be New Jobs
It was said that approximately three-fourths of the students to be aided would be those dropping out at the end of the first semester for financial reasons and about one-fourth would be unable to enter, otherwise would be unable to enter.
The young men and women will be paid $10 to $20 per month for work in college libraries, laboratories and various similar jobs.
Aid will be provided especially for those who would have been forced to drop out at the end of the first semester because of lack of funds
Where the status of an applicant is in doubt the state departments of education shall act in an arbitrary capacity.
Work will include clerical, library, research and in buildings and grounds, dormitories and dining halls, but not regular class instruction. The allotment to the college shall provide jobs in administration, be covered by the institution. Hookins ruled.
Various Jobs Onen
Where institutions are not under public control, the job may not include
Institutions must waive all fees for registration, tuition, laboratories and other purposes for the students receiving Federal assistance.
Editor's Note:--The last paragraph in the Washington story, quoting Administrator Hopkins as saying that the institutions would be expected to waive fees for those receiving federal assistance, is causing colleges and Universities generally some concern. They are taking up this point with Mr. Hopkins, pointing out that state institutions would find this difficult, both from the standpoint of reduction of their necessary fees, so far from the fact that in state institutions these fees are fixed by statute. Private institutions would find the waiving of fees for any number of students a serious impairment of their revenues.
The percentage allocated to the various schools would make it possible for 350 o 360 students at the University to receive these federal appointments.
The Jayhawker Magazine will appear on the campus, a week later than was originally scheduled, to allow pictures of second semester enrollment and the Soph Hop to be included in this issue according to Quentin Brown, c'35, editor of the publication.
The magazine will be available Feb. 22 instead of Feb. 15, the original time set for the appearance of the third issue, because the time of enrollment was changed in orientation, and late pictures could not be included in the magazine. Brown explained.
Jayhawker Magazine Late Time Extended to Allow Enrollment and Soph Hop Pictures
Former University Student Dies
The pictures entered into the beauty contest of the sophomore class which were judged by Morton Downey have been returned. Mr. Downey judged the pictures after his last performance in his play "The Mainstreet Theater in Kansas City."
Basil Mitchell, 20, nephew of U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, died of apoplexy Sunday night in Wichita. Mr. Mitchell had been superintendent of the Wichita plant of the Bell Telephone company for a number of years. He was 38 years old. Mrs. Mitchell was the former Nellie McBraatey, 20.
"The Soph Hop, with 300-pound Jack Crawford, the clown prince of jazz, leading his orchestra, promises to be one of the best parties of the year." Lloyd Lane c'35, varsity dance manager said today.
Dancers Will View Renovated Union Ballroom at Soph Hop Tonight
"The time is tonight, at the Memorial Union ballroom, it will be informal, and there will be four long hours of dancing." Lane announced.
This will be the first dance to be held in the Memorial Union ballroom since it was finished. According to Ozwin Rutledge, manager of the Union building, four large flood lights from the windows at the east and west end of the big room will light the main floor, while the other sections will be lighted with regular ceiling lights. This is only a temporary arrangements, until enough money is obtained to buy chandeliers for the room.
Jack Crawford first became known in Chicago's night clubs. He is a favorite with dancers who like music of a modern type. With the orchestra is Lou Michiganham, the featured entertainer, who plays the guitar and possesses a fine voice.
Evelyn Swarthout Gives Piano Recital in London
University Graduate Completing Second Year of Study Abroad
Evelyn Swarthout, '32, now in her second year of piano in London with the English teacher, Tonias Matthay, gave her London recital last night at Wigmore hall.
During Miss Swarthworth's first year in London, she won the Jeffrey Reynolds scholarship, a cash award of about $100 good for three successive years. This scholarship was won in competition with ten other concert pianists. Recently she was granted an audition by the British Broadcasting company and accepted on their staff of musical artists.
Miss Swarthout was to have made a short concert tour in Belgium during April, illustrating the lectures of Mr. Lucius Grein, well-known London music critic. The sudden death of Mr. Grein in an airplane crash in Belgium has changed these plans, and it is now probable that Miss Swarthout will be back in Lawrence about the middle of April.
Her program for the recital last night was as follows;
"Organ Prelude and Fugue" (Bach-Busnier); "Sonata quasi una Fantasin," Op. 27, No. 1 (Beethoven); "Intermezzo," Op. 4, No. 6 (Schumann); "Novelleet," Op. 21, No. 7 (Schumann).
"Fantiesus", Op. 49 (Chopin); "La soiree dans Grenade" (Debussy); "La plusque le que lente" (Debussy); "L 'Ile joueuse' (Debussy); "Etudie", Op. 7, No. 4 (Stravinsky); and "Konzerntaphrase aus Fledermäus". (Strauss-Gunfeld).

Handicapped Jayhawks Prepare for Sooner Five
Kansas Will Face Oklahoma Without Services of Four Regulars
Under a double handicap, the Jay-hawkers await the coming of the Oklahoma Sooners, present holders of leadership in the Big Six basketball race, for games here Thursday and Friday.
For one thing, semester examinations and realignment of courses have taken four regulars from the Kansas court squad, giving only one in return, and in the next place, Dr. F. C. Allen, coach, is set to meet him if that he has been fighting off since his sent to Washington, D.C., with the football team last December.
Dr. Allen had a temperature of 102 Sunday but was somewhat improved yesterday, and hopes to return to his coaching duties within a few days. In the meantime, Forrest Cox, freshman coach, and Mike Getto, trainer, will be handling the Varsity practice.
Gordon Gray, junior, regular guard, while grades were fine in some subjects, found he had an "incomplete" in another, and until the deficiency is removed will be ineligible for competition. He hopes to complete the work in a week or ten days.
John Peterson has returned to his home at Winfield to work at home this semester, and Roy Klass found that basketball did not fit into the schedule for his last semester in school. Raymond Urie of Ellis has also dropped out for the present.
Milton Allen, son of the coach, who attended Tenn State a year ago, became eligible with the spring semester. He handles the ball well, but is a bit too aggressive at times, tingling with the fouling rules.
Ebling and Vanek are getting the call for the forward position with Shaffer aiding. Wells jumps center and has been coming up somewhat on his scoring. Harrington and Kappelman hold the starting positions at guard. Reserves only hide Boid Curt, Bob Oyler, Millionaire, and Freed Harris, all of Lawrence.
Oklahoma comes to Lawrence for two games, the first of which Thursday night will not count in the conference standing. The Oklahoma have won all four of their conference games, and four out of five of their non-conference titles. The Kansas, on the other hand, have won five non-conference games, and have dropped one of their conference matches.

ROFESSOR SLUSS PRESENTS
PAPER ON CARBON MONOXIDE
Prof. Alfred H. Slus, of the mechanical engineering department, is in New York, attending the fortieth annual meeting of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers. He is presenting a paper on "Carbon Monoxide Surveys in Two Garages."
This paper is a committee report on surveys made on the Davis-Chilis贮 garage in Lawrence, and the United Motors garage in Kansas City, and includes reports on carbon in Kansas City after application of carbon dioxide reduces the amount of carbon monoxide.
The investigation was carried on by a co-operative arrangement between the University and the Kansas City chapter of the A. S. and V.E. through E.K. Campbell, of Kansas City, chairman of the national committee.
Besides Professor Slus, Ward Cole, graduate student in biochemistry, and Louis N. Farber, graduate student in electrical engineering, attended the New York meetings.
