Roosevelt
Phipps' and Kuhn's Bands Will Play for Party in Honor of President Roosevelt
One of the city's most brilliant socia events will break into the last of final examination week when the President Roosevelt ball swings into full swing at the Eldridge hotel tonight at 9:15.
Two orchestras, the Bill Phipps band and the Louis Kuhn band have been engaged, one to play in the grill room and the other one in the crystal room. Advance sale of the tickets indicate that the crowd will be drawn from Lawrence and nearby cities.
Fraternal organizations and individuals interested in the success of the party have raised private subscriptions sufficient to cover the expenses of the affair so that all ticket sale receipts will go directly to the Warm Springs infantile paralysis foundation.
**Highlights Over Toad Stations**
A miter committee in charge of Glenn Chanatzis and will make that all attending the party will enjoy themselves.
Highlights Over 150 Stations
more than 150 stations, linked by 23-300 miles of wire of the combined WABC-Columbia and NBC networks, will broadcast highlights of the nation-wide birthday ball honoring President Roosevelt on his fifty-second birthday, in a one-hour program from various parts of the country where celebrations will be held simultaneously by social, civic, and fraternal organizations. Radio receiving sets will be installed at each party, enabling celebrities to hear special greetings from President Roosevelt.
NUMBER 83
The President received treatment at the Georgia Warm Springs foundation, sometime ago, and while there became immensely interested in its work. With his encouragement the foundation has progressed rapidly in the past few years.
Individual's Needs Studied
At the time of entrance to the institution, a thorough study is made of each individual's social and economic status, including an analysis of his aptitudes and abilities. Then a suitable employment objective is selected and preparation for employment through physical restoration, vocational training other service is provided.
Alumnus Treated There
The social and economic significance of vocational rehabilitation should not be underestimated. As a result of this service, handicapped persons become producers and not dependents, disabled individuals are transformed from public liabilities to civic assets, skilled workers are returned to industry and the family life of the disabled worker is re-established.
Harold Denton, a former president of the Men's Student Council, at the University, attended the foundation last summer and was favorably impressed with the type of treatment given there. The rehabilitation problem is solved by study, activity, exercise, play, rest, work, sun, sleep, walking and social contact.
Kansas Churchman Honored
Members of the general committee in charge of the dance at the Eldridge tonight are: H. B. Ober, general chairman; M.F. P. O'Brien; Mrs. C. E. Friend; H. F. Hauna and F. W. McDonald. Final examinations will no doubt greatly decrease the attendance of University students, it was said today.
Dr. Bergin of Lindsborg Made Member of World-Wide Society

Publish Kansas Magazine Again After Sixty Years
Kansas State College Revives Publication Begun in 1872
The 1934 edition of The Kansas Magazine has made its appearance, more than sixty years after the first Kansas Magazine was published. Topea, home of the original publication of 1872-73, was the scene of the first appearance of the 1934 magazine, though it was issued by the Kansas State College Press at Manhattan.
The original Kansas Magazine lasted two years, and there have been many other efforts at state magazines, with varying success. There was a Kansas Magazine published in Kansas City, Kan, in the '90's; the "Agora," a Kansas Magazine published at Lawrence and Topeka, and from 1909 to 1912 a group of prominent Kansans sponsored a magazine published at Wichita under the editorship of F. Dumont Smith, prominent Hutchinson lawyer. In recent years A. Harry Crawley of Topeka edited the "Jayhawk," a Kansas magazine.
Last year the department of industrial journalism at Kansas State College revived the old Kansas Magazine under the editorship of R. I. Thackey and Helen Sloan (Mrs. Adrian Sorrell). This year Thackey again is editor, assisted by Kenneth Davis, a Kansas State student.
William Allen White is represented by "Just Wondering" a thought-provoking novel.
The present Kansas Magazine, now published annually, is a non-commercial venture which depends entirely on copy sales for its support. Copies may be sent from the Kansas State College Press, Manhattan, at 50 cents plus postage.
Among the contributors are Miss Helen Rhoa Hoopes, associate professor of English at the University, and John Gilchrist, graduate student here.
Zook Interprets CWA Law
Students May Do Work With Consent of Local Office
Chapel Hill, N.C.—(NSFA)—There is nothing in the CWA law or the federal regulations to prevent the employment of students who are otherwise eligible to work on campus or other projects under the CWA, according to a communication received at the University of North Carolina from Dr. George F. Zook, United States commissioner of education. This ruling was the result of the fact that students at the university have not been receiving jobs on CWA projects because the local officials believed that they were not eligible in North Carolina, although in many states students are being employed for campus projects sponsored by the Federal organization.
When projects are approved by the local CWA office it sends the list of jobs to be filled to the local employment office, which selects from those registered for work the men to be referred to the available jobs. Due to the availability of staff on campus projects, arrangements were made with the federal employment service whereby students would be referred to such campus jobs.
However, Zook added that local CWA officials have wide discretion in their approval of projects on the basis of social desirability. No nation-wide policy in regard to college projects has been adopted.
DRS, CANUTESON AND TRACY
ATTEND KANSAS CITY MEETING
Dr. R. I. Canutese, director of Watkins Memorial hospital; Dr. H. C. Tracy, professor of anatomy; and Freed Sauer, assistant instructor in anatomy, attended the meeting of Bell hospital staff in Kansas City, Kan., last night. Dr. Tracy presented an anatomy presentation for Ms. Mx. Sauer gave a report on some research he is doing on "Mitosis in the Neural Tube."
Revue Tryouts to Give Hill Talent Chance for Recognition
Between mental bouts with notebooks and texts some undergraduates are even now surreptitiously practicing dance steps, running over a repertoire of songs, and doing a little side-splitting "mugging" in their mirror.
Jimmy Patterson, director of the comedy, has let it be known that anyone who can do anything from balancing a derby hat on their nose to standing on their eyebrows is cordially invited to be present at the tryouts.
"You really ought to go on the stage!" Students who have heard those flattering words from admiring friends after appearing on the stage are looking forward to showing their talents to a University audience. With the tryouts for the Hilarities of 1934, annual W.S.G. A musical revue, announced for next week, more than one campus Thespian is preparing for the test.
In regard to the chorus girls, it is not necessary that they already know how to dance, he said. Of course knowing a tap step or two would help, but as in other walks of life besides the theatrical business, face and figure will receive serious consideration.
The chorus tryouts will be held in the women's division of Robinson gymnastium next Thursday, Feb. 8, at 4 o'clock. Tryouts for parts in the reue sketches will come the next day, Friday, and be given in Central Administration auditorium from 2:30 to 4:30, while candidates for men's chorus will be given an opportunity to show their ability at the same time and place.
Jayhawks and Ichabods To Play Non-League Tilt
Kansans Will Seek to Increase Record of Victories
With first semester examinations in full swing, the Kansas basketball players are putting in comparatively little time in practice, but they are getting out for enough drill each afternoon to keep in trim for a non-conference game with Washburn College at Topeka Saturday night.
This will be the fifth non-conference game for *Kansas*, the four previous ones having been victories over Kansas State, twice. Kansas Wesleyan, and Warrenst-burg teachers. Kansas has won three of its four conference games thus far.
Kansas and Wainburn have met on the basketball court intermittently for almost 30 years, with victories for the Jayhawks prevailing. Following is the Jayseker prevailing.

Ray Ebling of Lindeborg, sophomore member of the Kansas team, who has stepped into a regular position at forward, is ranking high in individual scoring. In total points, he is third in the nation (23), fourth in the 13 and 13 free throws). Wegner of Iowa State has 47 and Graham of Kansas State have 42.
These latter players have been in five games, to Ebbing's four, giving the Jayhawker a slightly better average per game, and second only to Bross of Oklahoma who has scored 35 points in three games.
Dr. Allen expects to have the whole squad at work by Thursday afternoon. For the next several days, practice is to be in the auditorium, since the main floor of the gymnasium is to be used for enrolling students for the next semester.
Wilmer Shaffer of Russell has been getting the call for the other forward position, and Dick Wells of Hutchinson, the tallest man on the team jumps center, and plays a guard position on the defensive. Harrington, the only senior on the team, and Gordon Gray of Newton make the regular guard positions, with Francis Kappleman and Bob Curd of Lawrence, and Raymond Urie of Ellis serving on the immediate reserve.

Cunningham Will Begin Indoor Track Campaign
Glenn Cunningham, Kansas miller, and his trainer H. W. "Bill" Hargiss, will leave tomorrow night for New York, where Cunningham is entered in the Wanamaker mile, one of the features of the Milrose games, to be run Saturday night. Cunningham is defending the mark of 4-13 which he set last year.
Jayhawk Miller to Leave Tomorrow for Millrose Games
Opponents of Cunningham in this race will include Gene Venkee of Pennsylvania, holder of the indoor mile record at 4:10, Glen Dawson of Tulsa Okla; Joe Mangan, of Cornell; and Frank Crowley, of Manhattan College
Venzie woke the mile run at Boston last Saturday night in 4:20, 30 yards in front of Mangan and Dawson, who finished second and third.
Arthur J. Daley, writing in the Sunday New York Times, concerning the forthcoming Millrose games, says the Wanamaker mile is the feature event and that to many sports followers, the race is one between Venkze and Cunningham.
"But to closer observers," said Daley, "there is a possibility that Glen Dawson of Tulsa, may emerge as the surprise winner. Dawson, one of the 1932 Olympics and the national 100-meter champion, did not concentrate on the mile to any great degree last year. But in the final race of the season, the Columbian mile, Dawson lost by a step to Cunningham's 4:12.
"With a bit more competitive background now, Dawson appears to be very dangerous. Also in this same classification is Joe Mangan of Cornell, former A.A.A.A.mile champion, a fine runner and a great finisher, and Frank Crowley of Manhattan College, the present intercollegiate ruler, rounds out the field."
The Sunday New York Times featured a picture of Cunningham in its group of stars listed for the Millrose games, and also published an Associated Press dispatch from Philadelphia in which Lawson Robertson, track coach for the University of Pennsylvania and for the American Olympic track forces, nominated Cunningham as the most likely runner to set a new mile record.
About Cunningham, Robertson said he had the best chances for doing the mile.
"He is mature," points out the veteran coach, "and has the speed and strength necessary to turn in the record. The fact that he can do the half-mile in less than 151 against the world's greatest milers is proof that he has the attributes necessary to crop time on the record set by Jack Lovelock at Princeton last year."
New Psychology Discussed
Wheeler Believes Way of Thinking Today Has Great Potentialities
"We are in a new era of thinking," said Professor Raymond H. Wheeler, head of the psychology department, when he spoke to 30 members of the Forum society at the Unitarian church Sunday morning, on the subject, "Progress of the New Psychology."
"The old laws of heredity and environment, association, and repetition are being replaced by new teaching in psychology. This new psychology of organisms rather than atomic processes must be able to teach and much harder to read."
"The new way of thinking has tremendous potentialities. We have never lived in a more promising time. The scholar of history can be optimistic about the future of the race. Human beings have a purpose." Dr. Wheeler concluded.
professor Wheeler said that the science of psychology is now a new one, but the way it is being taught today is different from that of the past 30 or 49 years.
Following his talk, Dr. Wheeler conducted an open forum at which time the members asked questions about the new psychology and its relation to science, religion, and problems of the present day.
Next Sunday Henry Werner, men's student adviser, in answer to many requests, is reviewing the second part of H. G. Wells' newest book, "The Shape of Things to Come." Mr. Werner has invited all students and faculty members to attend this meeting of the Forum society next Sunday.

Kansas Will Enter 37 Men in Big Six Track Meet Mar.3
Cunningham, Coffman, Hall Expected to Star in Indoor Events at Missouri
Thirty-seven Jayhawkers will be entered in the annual Big Six indoor track meet to be held in Brewer Field House at the University of Missouri on March 3. Kansas will have entries in each of the dozen events on the mid-winter sports attraction program. Every Big Six team will have an extensive entry list although all schools will not be represented in all events.
Nebraska and Oklahoma co-champions of last year's indoor meet will send a number of athletes to protect their title, but the Kansans who finished third last year with 29½ points, 3½ points behind the leaders, will have the most extensive audience of one of the most prominent galaxies of stars in the meet.
Foremost of the Jayhawkter track stars will be Glenn Cunningham, great middle distance runner who has won international acclaim during the past two years. Cunningham set a new Big Six indoor record for the mile run in 42:18.8 last year. Cunningham who won 29 of 32 races last year at home and in Europe will begin an invasion of eastern indoor track meets Saturday night in New York where he will compete against Gene Venzke, Penn star, and a field of three others in the Wanamaker mile of the Milrose games. Cunningham won the event last year defeating Venzke. He will be entered in the half mile, the mile, and the mile relay this year.
Coffman Is Record Holder
Clyde Coffman, a veteran track man, of two years age, will also be one of the outstanding Jayhawkers. He will be entered in five events: the 60-yard dash, the 60-yard low hurdles, the pole vault, the high jump, and the broad jump. Coffman is a versatile performer having represented the United States, the United Kingdom, and Charles, in the Decadalathon at the 1932 Olympic games. Coffman holds the Big Six record for the pole vault in both the indoor and outdoor meets.
Ed Hall, winner of the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash in the conference outdoor meet at Lincoln last spring, will compete in the 60-yard dash and the broad jump. Hall took third place in the Big Six broad jump last year.
Elwin Decs will defend his Big Six indoor title in the shot put. His winning heave last year was 47 feet, 5 inches.
Gordon Gray Is Entrant
Gordon Gray Is Entrant Other outstanding entries will include Gordon Gray, indoor and outdoor pole vault champion last year; and Bob White, national interscholastic pole vault champion in 1931.
"The program for the indoor relays carnival is already complete with the possible exception of one event," Coach Hargas said following a communication from Missouri. "A two-mile relay may be added to the program this year."
In speaking of the scoring system used in Big Six meets, the Kansas coach said that there had been considerable agitation for a change. In outdoor meets five, four, three and one points are given for the first five to finish in the events respectively. In the indoor meet only four places are given with the first place winner getting five points, second place three or fourth place, and so on. For the five schools interviewed on the matter, three favored a change, one voted for the old method, and one was undecided. Some definite action was expected to be taken before the track season is inaugurated this year, he said.
Preliminary entries for the Big Six indoor meet are as follows:
60-Yard Dash
Benton.
Kansas State: No entry.
Kansas State two enty.
Mississippi four.
