Kansas Will Open Home Conference Season Tomorrow
Game With Kansas State Will Be Third of Season for Jayhawk Cage Squad
University of Kansas cagers will open their Big Six home season here tomorrow night against the Kansas State College Wildcats whom they have defeated in two previous non-conference games this year. The Wildcats, however, showing an improved offensive play, are winning their last two games by 5 and 1 point margins, respectively, from Iowa State and Nebraska.
At the present time Kansas is tied with Nebraska for fourth place while the Wildcats are in third. The two teams will trade positions and percentages exactly if the Jayhawkers win tomorrow night.
To Mark Seventy-third Conflict
To Mark Seventy-third Conflict Tomorrow's game will be the seventh-third in which the two teams have engaged in their 27 years of rivalry Kansas teams in the past have won 4 games and lost 14, and have scored 2100 to 1000 points. In the last three years the Kansas State team has won but two games, both nonconference affairs. The Jayhawkers have lost but one Big Six game in all to the Wildcats since the present conference was organized six seasons ago.
Dr. F. C. Allen announced today that his startling lift would include the same players who started and finished against Missouri last Tuesday night: Shaffer and Ehling, forwards; Wells center, and Harrington and Gray, guards. Three of the Kansas players are sophomores, both forwards are sophomores.
Kansas Heavy Favorite
Kansas State similarly will list several sophomores. Graduation of most of the veteran members of last year's squad has left the Wildcat squad weakened. Despite their recent wins, the Aggies are not expected to finish high in this season. The heavy favorite to win the game, although close scores are expected.
Preceding the game Glenm Cunningham, University of Kansas middle-distance star, will make an appeal to spectators to refrain from booing and criticising any work of the official. Such a tendency on the part of spectators arises from the proximity of spectators to the players, Dr. Allen believes. The Kansas coach is much opposed to any such display which he calls poor sportsmanship. Last year Wilbur F. Cohen Jr. made the appeal.
Cunningham to Ask Co-operation Cunningham will ask that all persons co-operate in maintaining a spirit of sportsmanship.
Tomorrow night, game will start at 7:30. it was announced. E. C. Quigley, in New York
Following the game University of Kansas and Kansas State wrestlers will meet in seven matches. The events will be the first of the year for the Kansas matten who have also scheduled a meet with Washburn College.

Students Find Numerous Regulations Essential in Unique Art of Cramming
By Lena Wyatt, c'unel.
Do your last minute cramming in the early hours of the morning—after a good night's sleep?
The hourlong has shown that a large percentage of forgetting takes place within a few hours after learning.
"Cramming has some value," admits Dr. Harry D. Kitson in his book "How to Use Your Mind." "Learning is characteristically aided by reviews." But—reviewing is a different matter from first exposure to a subject. A few hints, however, should make the studying task a little easier.
If two hours of study seems to exhaust your supply of energy, do not give up, but push ahead, because, according to
More Than 1000 Persons Hear Symphony Concert
'Erlking' and 'Rhapsody in Blue' Featured by Soloists
Soloists
An audience of well over a thousand people assembled last night in the University auditorium to hear the annual mid-winter concert of the University Symphony orchestra under the direction of Professor Karl Kuersteiner.
The opening number was, "From the New World," symphony by Dvorak written in and about America during the three years visit of the great Bohemian composer. An interesting presentation was given, which was evidently a pleasure to the audience and probably made this outstanding work more accessible to many of the students present. The famous English horn solo in the Largo was played by Ralph LeBeau, a former member of the orchestra.
Professor John Ise of the economics department appeared as soloist on the program, singing Schubert's "Ekling." It may not be generally known that his first connection with the University was as a graduate of the voice department and that for his senior recital he orchestrated the accompaniments of one group of his songs in which the University orchestra accompanied him.
The Rhapsody, "Espana," by the self-taught Chabrier of France was the next number, practically a concert waltz on Spanish themes with abundant use of percussion instruments and a fascinating rhythm.
The famous "Rhapsody in blue" by George Gershwin closed the concert. The solist was George Treville, an undergraduate pupil of Professor Carl
The work was evidently the favorite of the orchestra. It had given a faithful and excellent performance of the other numbers, but its it played with keen enthusiasm, doing the finest work of the evening. The work is the natural expression of the America of today, even if educated musicians sometimes deplore the fact, and the composer has shown great skill in utilizing our world-famous popular music for artistic effects.
ANDERSON TO GIVE LAST ORGAN RECITAL OF TERM
The program is divided into two groups. The first consists of selections from Howard Hanson, a contemporary composer; d'Aquin, and Brahms. The second group is composed of Franck, the great French composer of the nineteenth century.
Laurel Everett Anderson, University organist, will present the last organ vesper recital of this semester Sunday afternoon in the University auditorium at 4 o'clock.
A review of Frank Simonds' most recent book, "America Faces the Next War" will be given by Henry Werner, men's student adviser, at the meeting of the Forum society at the Unitarian church at 10 c'clock Sunday morning.
This is the third in a series of talks showing the progress which has been made in various fields of endeavor. All students and faculty members are invited to attend meetings of the Forum society.
HENRY WERNER TO REVIEW
BOOK AT FORUM SOCIETY
"Red" Cromb Coming to Game
"Red" Cromb '30, now living in North
Kansas City. Mo., has written Dr. Allen
that he is bringing a group of former
Kansans to see the Kansas team in
action here Saturday night.
Graduate Is Office Manager
Graduate & Office Manager Harold C. Masch, '26, is manager of office maintenance at the Ralston-Purina Mills, in St. Louis. Masch has been taking real estate work at Washington University.
Dr. Kitson, there is a mental second-wind just as there is a physical one. A short rest before continuing the work however, will be refreshing. Do not rest too long or spend the time getting interrupted. The work will be part of the moment always gained.
Of the midnight already gathered Eat sparingly before examinations. It will help to keep your brain awake, and will enable you to cut down on sleep. To those who like a "man's" breakfast, Dr. Kitson extends this admonition: "Do not begin the day's study on a breakfast of cakes." Fish is regarded as a particularly good food for those doing mental work.
When taking an examination, begin by reading all of the questions so that you may realize the extent of the task. Knowledge relating to the various questions often assembles itself while you are working upon one question. It is wise to jot these ideas down as they come.
"Do not sit listlessly and gaze out into space waiting for inspiration to come," advises Dr. Kitson. "The better way is to begin to write anything about the topic at hand. If you persist in keeping up the activity of writing, you will find that ideas will begin to come."
The maintenance of an attitude of confidence toward the examination will be a decided aid in completing it successfully.
With sufficient sleep, proper food, and it is hoped, enough knowledge absorbed during the semester to carry you through, the finals should not prove too difficult.
for Mathematics
'Need
Mitchell Believes Data for Social Sciences Is Complex
"There is even greater need for mathematics in the study of social sciences than in natural sciences," said Dr. U. G Mitchell of the mathematics department in an address to the members of the Chemistry club yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Mitchell explained this statement by pointing out that the data for the social sciences are more complex because many variables are encountered in dealing with masses of people, whereas, in the natural sciences calculations are more likely to be invariable.
"The very conspicuous lack of mathematical development in the social sciences may be caused by insufficient mathematical training of sociologists and economists," he suggested, "or perhaps the mathematicians have not yet developed the kind needed in these sciences." The speaker said that only a small percentage of the mathematical processes used are available and that there are probably innumerable phases of the subject that have not been discovered.
“Sometimes,” he said, “new discoveries in natural science are made experimentally and new mathematical formulae developed afterward to explain and prove the discovery; however,” he added, “occasionally the formulae are developed first and they lead directly to the scientific discoveries.”
Some 40 students and instructors in the chemistry department heard Dr Mitchell's address.
The band will play at all Big Six basketball games this year held on the local court. The invitation was extended to the band from the Chancellor's office following word from Dr. F. C. Allen that arrangements have been made providing room for the musicians. At the first of the season it was thought this space would not be available.
UNIVERSITY BAND TO PLAY
AT BIG SIX HOME GAMES
Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 18—One of the oldest buildings on the University of Tennessee campus, Morrill Hall, was partially destroyed by a fire of undetermined origin early today.

The building was valued at $75,000 and the scientific equipment and almost invaluable specimens housed in it were estimated by university authorities to be worth at least $225,000. More than 30-,000 botany specimens were destroyed.
Band members who have purchased season tickets may have their money refunded by applying at the Athletic office.

Exposition to Be Revived
Engineers Will Hold Festival on Weekend of Kansas Relays
Revival of the Engineering exposition, which has not been held since 1930, has been definitely decided upon after a special meeting of the Engineering council, in conjunction with the pres- titute of the School of Engineering and Architecture, that date has been tentatively set as the weekend of the Kansas Relays.
Engineer's day, in former years an occasion of celebration and competition, and particularly the occasion of traditional battles between members of the engineering and law schools, will also be revived and held in conjunction with the exposition. Many of the contests and games, usually held on this day, will probably not be played, although it is possible that various departments and organizations of the school will sponsor floats or stunts in competition for prizes

Youth Movement Organized
Will Attempt Overthrow of Tom Pendergast Machine
Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 18- (UP)—A non-partisan youth movement is attempting to overthrow the powerful Tom Pendergast Democratic organization here with the same methods used in the recent overthrow of Tammany Hall in New York.
from the nucleus of a committee of citizens 18 months ago, the foes of Pendergast have organized the "National Youth Movement," with now 8,000 volunteer workers and more supporters. All have signed pledges to place city interests above party allegiance.
Fendergast has taken no notice personally of the new movement but speakers of the Young Democratic clubs have denounced it as disguised Republican movement. Youth Movement leaders deny this and cite their list of officers as a refutation.
Kansas State Magazine to Feature Home Talent
Hoopes and Gilchrist Are Named Among Contributors
Manhattan, Jan. 19—(UP) —A 1934 issue of the Kansas magazine, started in 1872 and revived a year ago by the journalism department of Kansas State college under the editorship of R. I. Thackey, will be published on or near Kansas Day, Jan. 29, it was announced recently.
Many of the state's well-known writers and editors, including William Allen White and E. W. Howe, who contributed to the 1933 magazine, will have material in the 1924 issue, and several writers who did not contribute last year will be represented.
Reproductions of work of Kansas artists, which was a feature of the 1933 magazine, will be continued this year. Among those who will be represented by reproductions of oil paintings will be Henry Varrum Poor, Kenneth M. Adams, Birger Sandzen, Ed Davison, and John Noble. Reproduction of a painting by John Steuart Curry also is probable. Curry and Poor were winners of second and third prizes at the Carnegie International exhibition.
As Dec. 29 was the centennial of the birth of John J. Ingalls, one of Kansas' greatest statesmen and writers, the magazine will either republish one of his writings or an article about his career. Many of Ingalls' most famous works, including "Blue Grass," "The Catfish Aristocracy," and "The Last of the Jayhawkers," were published in the original Kansas magazine of 1872-73.
Among contributors who will appea
are Paul Jones, T. A. McNeal, A. J.

The postponed "Torture" issue of the Purple Parrot, which was censored by the Board of Publications last week will probably appear before examinations start in two weeks, Harry Shaffer, editor of the magazine, announced yesterday, according to the Daily North-western.
"We will be lucky if the Parrot comes out before the end of next week," the editor stated. "We are changing our policy and it will not be easy to get the proper material to fit in with the new plans. We will do the best we can in this issue although it may not be as good as the ones which will follow."

Seven Prisoners Escape Over Wall at Lansing Today
Brady and Clark, Leaders in Break on Memorial Day, Among Missing Convicts
Seven prisoners escaped early this morning from the Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing, and early this afternoon were believed to be surrounded in a wooded tract between Lansing and Victory Junction, on the north and south, and between highway 73-E and the Missouri river.
Federal army airplanes from Fort Leavenworth had been detailed to fly over the ground under surveillance in an attempt to locate the escaped convicts it was learned early this afternoon.
Leading the prison break were Jim Clark and Bob Brady, who escaped from the same prison last Memorial day, and who later were recaptured. Brady was said to be suffering from wounds incurred when he was captured recently. Tom McMahon, sent from Douglas county for highway robbery for a 21-42 year term, also was among the men who escaped.
The men are said to have made a make-shift ladder from scrap material with which to gain the prison wall. One version was that they used fire hose to descend on the outside of the wall; the other version was that fire hose was used to tie the prison guards.
Kaw River Bridge Here Guarded
Criminology Class on Visit
Kaw River Bridge Here Guarded
Word of the prison break at Lansing reached Lawrence at 7 a.m., and arrangements were made immediately to guard the bridge across the Kaw river to Adjunct General McLean to Topeka calling militants into service. Companies M and H, under Captains Alphin and Gorrill, were posted at the Kaw river bridges at Endora and Lecompton, and at the Mud Creek bridge, east of Lawrence on highway 40.
Miss Mabel Elliott and the 20 members of the criminology class, not having heard of the prison break, left shortly before noon with the expectation of spending the afternoon visiting the state prison. They are expected back early in the afternoon, as it is considered extremely unlikely that visitors will be allowed today.
Senior Listings Under Way
Early Enrollments Cut Down Number of Errors Made
This year the senior enrollment is taking place before regular enrollment because it is found that a much more efficient job can be done in conferences than on the floor at regular enrollment time. This had been the custom until two years ago when it was stopped because of a cut in the budget of the College office. It has been resumed, however, because so many mistakes were made when the students work was not thoroughly checked.
Monday and Tuesday are the last days for this enrollment. About 40 seniors were enrolled yesterday, but there are about 300 of the seniors, the college office is anxious that they get their application ready, so you can be sure to get enrolled properly.
All seniors are asked to take their transcripts to their advisors for checking before coming to the college office for enrollment. Professor G. W. Smith is chairman of the senior advisers. Other advisers are Professors A. T. Walker, L. N. Flint, L. E. Engle, E. H. Hollands, H. H. Lane, F. E. Kester, R. D. Leary, A. L. Owen, Eugenia Gallo, and U. G. Mitchell.
MEN STUDENTS MUST TAKE
MILITARY TRAINING COURSES
University of California men students must enroll for military training courses under regulations laid down by the institution, according to a decision which had been handed down this week by the California State Supreme Court.
The decision of the court settles the case of Albert W. Hamilton and Alonzo Reynolds, both ministers' sons, who recently were forced to leave the University of California at Los Angeles after refraining to register for R.O.T.C. courses.
