The University of Kansas will take up the business of seeking its fourth successive Big Six basketball crown where it left off last Saturday, in Ames, Iowa, tonight. Facing the Iowa State College cagers who have not won a conference game to date, the Jayhawkers will nevertheless have to extend themselves to remain in the running, for the Cyclone losses have been by very fissile margins.
Dr. Allen and nine basketball players left last night for Ames to engage in the forty-eight game between the two schools, 40 of which the Kansans have won. Having won two of their three conference games, the Jayhawkers will go into a tie for second place in the state playoffs. You won't win tonight. Elshing, Shlaver, Vanck, Hartington, Wells, Gray, Kappelman, Curd, and Uri made the trip.
Iowa State expects to make a greater show of scoring power tonight by way of the return of Chester Anderson, veteran forward, who was one of the impressive members of the Cyclone team last year. A sprained ankle has kept the flashy player out of play. Word also comes from the Cyclone camp that Coach Menze has been drilling his reserves in a special attempt to find someone with a scoring eye. Frazer, a reserve forward, may be the solution to the problem, the Cyclone coach believes.
Dr. Allen, in commenting upon the prospects of the game, yesterday said that he expected the Kansans to have tough going all the way.
"Louis Menze used to go to school to me at Warrenburg, and he knows my style of coaching," the Kansas coach said. "Then, too, his team held Missouri to a single point victory. The fact that Iowa State has lost to each of the others of the Big Six doesn't mean that she is going to lose to Kansas."
The records show that Kansas has established a much better record than far than the Cyclones. Kansas has averaged a little less than 27 points per game to 24 for their opponents, while the Iowa State team has averaged almost 25 points per game to more than 33 for the opponents. Kansas has won two games and lost one while Iowa State has lost four successive games.

"CHUCK" RILEY'S COACHING CONTRACT NOT RENEWEL
Albuquerque, M.N., Jan. 24—Coach C "Chuck" Riley's contract for the coming football season at the University of New Mexico will not be renewed, the state board of regents decided at their last meeting.
Many students and alumni were disappointed to hear of Riley's dismissal, according to the New Mexico Lobo. So for as is known, no successor for Riley has been chosen as yet.
The question of keeping the Notre Dame system of football now being used at the University has also been brought up.
House Break Prevented
Using an empty ice cream freezer to stand on, an unidentified man attempted to break into the Alpha Gamma Delta house at the University of Denver Monday. Mrs. Wallace, the housemother, called her husband from the basement, where he was banking the fire for the night, and he, armed with a shotgun, investigated. He could find only the upturned freezer and a damaged window screen.
Group Meetings Postponed
There will be no meeting of Y.W.C.A. groups until after the beginning of next semester. The first cabinet meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 8; freshman commission, Monday, Feb. 12; advanced standing, Tuesday, Feb. 13; and interracial on Tuesday, Feb. 15.

PUBLICATION SCHEDULE FOR THE DAILY KANSAN
The University Daily Kansan will follow the following publication schedule during the examination period: Thursday afternoon, Jan. 25; Sunday morning, Jan. 28; Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 30; Tuesday morning, Feb.6; regular schedule thereafter.
Artists Begin Sketches Of Museum Backgrounds
Paleontological Eras Are to Be Depicted in Paintings
Paintings
Two artists, Miss Isabell Schreiber, Atchison, and Mr. Wilber Stillwell, Emporia, are working on sketches to be used as background scenes in the display cases at Dyche Museum, which is soon to be reconstructed. These artists are being hired by the government as part of its unemployment program for artists.
The two painters will work on separate murals which will depict scenes of different periods and serve as backgrounds behind the animals related to the periods.
The sketches which are being made represent phylogeny vertebrates, cambrian, permian, triassic, Pennsylvanian, silurian and other periods in the development of animals. The finished paintings, which will appear in panels of various sizes in the museum, will be on prestwood board. This material is also used for creating out to exact size desired. A wooden back has been constructed on which the prestboard will be fastened to give it stiffness and prevent warning.
The state architect is working on the plans for the reconstruction of the museum, and it is hoped that work may soon during February or early in March.
Closing Hours Lengthened
Stanford Extends Time to 3:30 for Recent Pledge Prom
For the recent "pledge prom" at Stanford University, lasted until 3 a.m. the special closing hour of 3:30 a.m. was granted the women students, according to the Sanford Daily. The party started at 10 p.m. and breakfast was served at 1:30.
The Stanford Daily goes on to say that this unusual extension of closing hours is a special grant on the part of the administration and that it was not made with the idea that it would be repeated for other functions.
The women's governing body passes on the measure, as it was decided at the last minute that the dance needed a special impetus to insure its success.
Ordinarily the prom would have taken place in San Francisco but this year the party in San Francisco was prohibited. In lieu of this the faculty sanctioned the affair. However it was pointed out that under the privilege we were a grave offense.
NORTHWESTERN JOURNALISTS
TO WORK ON CHICAGO DAILY
The course, which is open by invitation only to seniors and graduates, will consist in reading copy, writing headlines, planning picture layouts, and assisting in the makeup of the paper under the guidance of Mr. Robert Bishop, night editor of the Times.
The Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, Chicago, is offering a new course for the coming semester, announces the Daily Northernwesten, in which the students will be trained in the actual writing of a metropolitan newspaper, the Chicago Daily Times.
Three new members were initiated at the last meeting of the Kansas chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, fraternity for former members of the Boy Scouts of America. George Norris, Horton, one of the initiates, is a member of the sophomore class in the college.
The other two are Paul N. Cambell, who is scout executive of the Kaw area, and Lester B. Miller, field executive of the Kaw area, both of Kansas City. Earl K. Behrand, c29, who is at present an assistant executive of the Kaw area, was present at the initiation.
ALPHA PHI OMEGA INITIATES
NORRIS AND TWO OTHER
Now Have Metal 'Stop' Signs
Metal "stop" signs have been placed on either side of the main drive where Mississippi street crosses, east of the Chemistry building. The metal signs replace rubber ones which soon wore out under the wheels of passing motor-cars. (No motorist purposely runs over a metal sign.)
Students who at this time of the semester begin to wear long faces and become very depressed from worrying about their grades should console themselves by knowing that in the University of Vermont a student received a grade of eight less than zero.
Vermont Student Discovers That He Owes Eight Grade Points
In the military department at the University of Vermont punctuality and attendance is an important requirement. A student at the beginning of the semester had a mark of "C." The second half of the semester he dropped to a "D." "This unenergetic student got three grades the previous semester, just passing; a 56 on an hour test, a 16 on some written work, and a flat and phenomenal goose-egg on the next hour test. Add, divide by three, and the subsequent grade as averaged is a total of 24.
For each absence, they deduct 2 per cent from the final grade. Sixteen absences, at 2 per cent each, tally up to 32. Subtract the 32 from the grade of 24, and the result is eight less than zero.
Patterson and Smith Daily Kansan Editors
Staffs Will Be Named for First Half of Spring Semester
James R. Patterson, c34, was elected editor-in-chief of the University Darly Kansan, and Robert E. Smith, c34, was chosen as managing-editor at a meeting of the Kansan board yesterday afternoon.
Semester
Patterson replaces Chiles Coleman, c'34, and Smith will hold the position formerly occupied by Margaret Gregg, c'34.
Patterson was associate editor for the last semester, and has held the staff positions of Sunday and night editor. He recently was awarded the Schott prize for journalistic achievement, and is president of the Kansas Press club. Patterson is co-author and director of the W.S.G.A. musical comedy. He is a member of Pi Epsilon Pi, Sigma Delta Chi, and the National Collegiate Players.
The new editors will take office the first of next semester, continuing until mid-semester. They will name their assistants within a few days.
Robert Smith has been campus and make-up editors for the semester. He also writes for *The New York Times*.
Conducts Grade Project
University of Chicago Solicit Student Opinion of New Plan
A grade questionnaire project has been held at the University of Chicago, according to The Daily Maroon, and in addition to the specific questions on the grade system, the students have been asked for comments on various phases of the new plan. At this time more than half of the freshmen and sophomores have expressed an opinion.
The results of the questionnaire will be tabulated by members of The Daily Maroon staff under the direction of William Reitz, assistant to the dean of students, who assisted the Maroon in preparing the questionnaire. When the returns are in, the complete figures will be released, with an analysis of the study and how it was set up, published in full. This report will be sent to President Hutchins for consideration.
Committee Delves Deeper Into Case Of Ticket Revision
The activity ticket committee at a meeting yesterday afternoon in the office of Henry Werner, men's student adviser, decided that sub-committees should be appointed from the membership of the committee as a whole to consider the recommendations previously made by the W.S.G.A. and Men's Student Council. These recommendations are as follows:
Werner to Name Members of Group to Conduct Special Investigations
gations
The "nests" varied from two feet in diameter, to oval formations having axes of five and 13 feet. In cross-section they are some 9 inches thick, lens-shaped, with the upper surface convex and the lower somewhat coneve.
1. That football seats for students be changed from the east side to the west side of the stadium.
2. That a better seating arrangement c worked out for the lectures and con-
3. That a check up as to the rightful owners of the activity books be made at all events at which it is necessary to present the activity books, and rules for them.
Werner said today that the work will be left entirely to the students and any decisions as to what should be done will rest with them. Professor Werner, chairman of the committee will appoint four students on each committee who will carry on the investigative work.
Definite changes as to next year's policy cannot be made until sometime this spring. However, no further meetings will be held until the various groups are ready to report on their research.
4. That graduate students be exempt from purchasing the ticket, but if they wish to buy one, that they may do so at the regular price of $8.75.
A scientific study of some peculiar fossil formations uneared near Admirie Junction appears in the transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, just published. The study was made by Professor W H Schowee and Kannan of the University of Kansas, and presented at the recent meeting of the Academy.
Appointment of ticket managers at the University for the President's birthday bait which is to be held at the Eldridge hotel the night of Jan. 30. was announced yesterday at a meeting of the ticket committee. Henry Werner Karl Klooz, Fred Ellsworth, and William Kollender will have charge of the sales to faculty members, while George Brown, c'34, and Billary c'35, will supply students with tickets.
Scientists Speculate As to Origin of Peculiar Fossil 'Nests' at Admire
Ticket Managers Appointe
Construction of U. S. 50-N and Kansas 11 east of Admirce made necessary the construction of a diversion channel for One Hundred Forty-Two Mile Creek. In this work some 18,000 square feet of Brownville limestone was exposed. Scattered throughout the surface thus exposed were more than 80 meters in diameter in form, and differing so from the surrounding limestone in color and texture, as to look like raisins in a slice of raisin bread.
Group Will Push Sales for President's Ball, Jan. 30
The ball, which has been approved by the University authorities, will be held on the fifty-second birthday of President Roosevelt to raise funds for the Warm Springs, Ga., infantile parapenalty court. The musical will furnish the music, one in the crystal room and the other in the grill room of the Eldridge.
KOREAN COMPLETES COURSES
AT KANSAS STATE COLLEG
Manhattan, Jan. 24—(UP) - Y. S. Kim Korean who has spent most of his life in Shanghai, left recently to become a member of the faculty of the Wushi college of agriculture, near Nanking, China.
Kim, a graduate student in horticulture at Kansas State college, had been in Manhattan six years, receiving his bachelor's degree in agriculture in 1933 and recently completing work on a master's degree in horticulture.
Just how the "nests" of fossils were formed is more a matter of conjecture. The manner in which the limestone lip is formed over the edge of the "nest" might indicate that the animal life from which the fossils came grew in the many patches, but the broken condition of the fragil fossil material indicates rather that it was borne there by wave or current action.
The limestone formation was, the gelogists say, laid down at one of the times that the Gulf of Mexico extended into this region.
Another theory was that the deposits were formed in depressions weathered in the limestone surface between invasions of the sea, but since not all of the nests are in the surface, it would follow that this theory would require several recessions and returns of the sea.
The authors conclude, therefore, that the fossils were deposited in the "nest" formations, by edycles in a body of, comparatively quiet water, either in a protected bay or a land-locked portion of the sea.
College Paper
Gives Advice to Lovelorn
Men and Women
The Purple and White, Millapss College student paper, in its co-ed edition, listed ten points on "How to hold your girl" and "How to hold your man."
How to hold your girl: Be nice but not good, talk lots, don't drink, be serious, if you don't know the ropes, learn them, be sweet, don't tell dirty jokes, be sincere, be faithful as possible and be thoughtful of her.
How to hold your man: Don't be goody-good but be nice, don't talk too much, don't act sophisticated, be serious and act wise and worldly, if you have brains don't show it, be sweet but not be dependent, don't drink, don't smoke, don't expect him to be too faithful, and don't suggest to early a marriage.
Harris Sees Brighter Future for Journalists
Hutchinson Editor Believes Newspaper Openings Will Increase
"Journalism majors who graduate next June will probably find it easier to secure positions than have their fellow students of the past few years," Jack Harrier, editor of the Hutchinson News and Hutchinson Herald, told journalism students this morning in a series of class-room talks. Harris, formerly was associated with his father, Ralph Harris, and his brother, Sid Harris, on the Ottawa Herald, and later was editor of the Chanute Tribune for six years.
In discussing the problems and policies that the editor of a small city daily faces, Mr. Harris said that he advocated a fearless policy in handling of the news and in the writing of editorials. He deplored, he said, the work of any writer whose column was made intentionally tame because the paper was "afraid that it would trample upon someone's toes."
"Advertising workers will also probably find a greater field during the next few years," he said. "Business has increased during the past few months to the place where merchants believe that they will be able to sell more merchandise even if they do not advertise. There will be places for enterprising advertisements who can show business men wherein this idea is erroneous." The greatest difficulty graduates would encounter, he admitted, would be the task of convincing newspaper owners that such work could actually be accomplished.
Mr. Harris outlined briefly the general policies of newspapers and conducted a question box for combined rewriting, advertising and editorial classes.
Student Program Is Varie

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
INSTRUMENT RECORDS QUAKE
The earthquake centering in India, which resulted in the death of at least 21 persons in Calcutta last Monday, set up waves recorded for two and one-half hours on the University of Washington's seismograph, according to the University of Washington Daily.
According to Walter Chappell of the University of Washington geology department, the seismograph received a good record of the earthquake, which is rather surprising because of the distance of 8,000 miles.

Freshmen Defy Seniors at University of Denver
Internal Rivalry Aroused
Class rivalry has turned into inter-school rivalry as a result of the painting of the Senior Fence by a quintet of commerce freshmen at the Denver University.
The senior class officers smarting under the effects of a first class kidnap plot on the part of a dozen Arts frost last Friday afternoon, rose to the occasion earlier last evening and adorned the room with red and silver, upper-class colors.
The Senior Fence was found upon investigation to be dobbed with murky green. The word "Commerce Fresh" was rolled on the iron beams of the structure.
Last Friday afternoon when two students attempted to decorate the fence in a secret move, both were abducted by rebellious campus frush and put in isolation in a room of a hotel. Their clothes were taken from them, and it was only after a struggle which lasted nearly all night that the senior luminaries were able to make their get away.
David Brainerd, senior class president, said, "I never heard of 'succist' on the part of commerce students. This will not only cause warfare between the campus and the 'branch', but will be just cause for an apology on the part of the culprits."
FORMER STUDENT WRITES
UNIVERSITY FROM FRANCE
The alumni office has recently heard from Edith Huntington Snow, '99, daughter of Francis H. Snow, one of the earlier chancellors of the University. She is in Southern France at the present time, for her health.
Miss Snow is an authority on hand weaving and tapestry, and owns the Snow Looms, a weaving company in New York City. Miss Snow writes that there are very few American tourists on the continent at present, since the American dollar is worth just 60 cents.
Tulane Law Students Give Play
Tulane Law学院 give play A group of Tulane University law students put on a play recently entitled "Saps and Suckers," a satire on the fickleness of woman. The cast was entirely male and according to the author, the play was inspired by the fact that all women make sacks of men.
To Dedicate New Residence
The newly erected hall of residence for the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at Denver University will be dedicated this week, prior to its occupancy. It is of the modern English type of architecture, and cost $17,000.
