Student Dreams of Feudal Moats and Bridges Fade
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1934
Constructon Work Before Watson Library to Include Leveling of Ground
Temporary Work Is Began
Already a beginning has been made on a temporary walk which will lead pass the Commons building and into the "moat," from whence it will curve up at the entrance. This will be needed while the "hump" in front of the library is being removed.
At last the fate of the most and drawbridge construction which was to be completed in front of Watson library has been decided. The latest plans concerning the landscaping there involve the removal of the mound which forms part of the bank of proposed moat, and with the removal of the mound go the hopes of those who wanted the feudal style landscaping to be carried out.
Previous plans for the library land-scaping included making the present mound at the entrance slope gently out to the driveway. Along with the drawbridge idea were other plans which still may be carried out in that a building be constructed in the location now occupied by the Commons building so that it is easy to see. This forms as Drasfer hall the case. This form a sort of quadrangle arrangement similar to the style used in many building groupings in England
When the work going on now is completed, a walk will proceed from the entrance of the library in a direct line to the campus drive, and 10 steps will lead from the library doorway to the ground level. Near its termination at the driveway, the walk will branch to form a Y, and on either side of the Y will be structures having benches and decorative bulletin boards. The brick foundations for the walk and structures are now being completed. The walks from the two west entrances of Fraser hall will continue, and the walk in straight one, the far one south preceding on past the Commons building. One of the trees near the location of Old Snow hall has been taken up and it will be planted elsewhere.
Temporary Walk is Begun
Along with the quadrangle idea goes the completion of the library. Students who have noticed the outside walls of the sides of the building know that the facing of Indiana limestone is not used, only ordinary bricks painted white are there. This is a reminder that some day in the future, wings will be placed at either end of the library, greatly adding to its appearance as well as providing for a great deal of expansion. This means that the Journalism building will be removed.
Addition of Wings in Future
Many plans concerning what to do with the space left by Old Snow hall were suggested. One graduate who hated to see the entire destruction of the building sent in a drawing of what he would like to see done, have the arched doorway of Old Snow rebuilt as a memorial to the building, and fountain that would be installed. But that speculation as to the plan is over, and a grass plot with benches and bulletin boards all that will be included in the landscaping.
PRINT COLLECTION EXHIBITED BY CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
Lanning P. Rankin, 24, has been employed as food laboratory instructor for the next semester. Mr. Rankin was formerly employed by the University when he was working on his master's degree. In 1926 he accepted a position with the Hercules Powder company, and from there he went to the Norton high school where he was an instructor in physics and mathematics. Mr. Rankin will do work on his Ph.D. degree next semester. Mr. Rankin's father, Roy Rankin, 12, is head of the department of chemistry at Hays.
The University of Kansas is to have the loan of some 60 prints which were reproduced for the American Annual of Photography this year according to a letter addressed to Dr. Robert Taffe of the department of chemistry this week.
The letter came from the American Photographic Publishing company and offered the loan of the prints during the period from April 24 to May 8. The collection was exhibited at the world's fair in Chicago for a time last year and Dr. Taft expressed his gratitude of the art of the collection. During their stay here the prints will remain in Spooner-Thayer museum for exhibition.

To Debate K-State Friday
Bramwell and Field Will Represent University
University
Phil Branwell, c'36, of Bellville, and Lyman Field, c'36, of Kansas City, will represent the University in a debate with Kansas State to be broadcast over the Internet at 2:30. James H. Rexroad and Chloe Moore will represent Kansas State.
Friday's debate will conclude a series of seven radio debates on the question "Resolved: that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of Radio control" which were designed by Professor E.C. Hammerstein, to aid high school debaters who are debating the question this year.
The University representatives in Friday's debate have both had considerable experience in forensics. Bramwell was runner up in the Kansas City Star oratorical contest in 1982, and Field was Kansas City representative in the Stair contest the same year. Both have appeared in campus public speaking contests. Field was awarded second place in that event this year.
Bramwell is president of the sophomore class and a member of Beta Theta Pi, social fraternity. Field is a member of Pen and Scroll and Sigma Chi, social fraternity.
V.S.G.A. Takes Up Four Cases of Ticket Seizur
Committee Reads Report on Confiscation Problem at Meeting
The report of the committee considering the cases of four women students whose activity books were confiscated at the Missouri football game was read at a meeting of the W.S.G.A. in the Memorial University building last fall to Henry Werner, chairman of the Activity Ticket committee, as is follows:
"In a recent meeting of our executive council, the president was authorized to appoint an executive committee consisting of five members counting herself, to determine what was to be done with the four activity books, belonging to women students, confiscated at the Kansas-Missouri game.
"Since we were not at all certain that we actually had any authority to impose a penalty on these students, and also upon the advice of Dean Davis, Dean Stockton, and Dean Stoffler, the committee decided the best thing to do this semester would be to call these four offenders before us and reprimand them. Accordingly these women appeared before the committee, where they were warned that next semester there would be a definite penalty for those who violated the terms of the ticket in regard to transferring, but that since this was the first offense, we were being lenient in our jurisdiction.
"In our meeting of the council last week, Jan. 9, the council offered the following suggestions in the administration for next year. They read as follows:
1. That football seats for students be changed from the west side to the west end.
2. That a better seating arrangement worked out for the lectures and con-
3. That a check-up as to rightful owners of the activity book be made at all events at which it is necessary to present the activity books.
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.
5. That the Activity Ticket committee consist of 2 faculty members, 3 students from each council, and one chosen by the committee, at large.
I am sending this information so that you may report it at the next general meeting of the Activity Ticket committee should you care to do so.
President. W.S.G.A.
Lila Lawson,

Lindley Transmits Plan for College Aid to Schoolmen
Inequalities of Public Work Funds in Connection With Universities Would Cease
Chancellor E. H. Lindley today transmitted to Governor Landon, the acting chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, John G. Stutz of the Kansas public works administration; and the heads of all the colleges and universities of Kansas, for their information, copies of the so-called Zook plan for aid of college students in this country. The Chancellor returned today from Washington where he conferred with Commissioner George Zook of the bureau of education.
The principles of the Zook plan are contained in a letter addressed to Harry Hopkins, public works administrator. This letter not only asks that additional money be provided for works that will be of particular benefit to college students, but also points out some inequalities that have developed in the administration of public works funds in the few universities in which they have been applied.
Suggests Student Reefer Plans
In some instances, it has been pointed out the local authorities are permitting teachers who are members of the county in which the institution is situated to participate in the relief work. Mr. Zook points out that the student body is drawn from the state as a whole.
In other instances, it is pointed out, state relief funds are allocated to counties without regard to the greater needs of state schools which draw from the whole state. The suggestion is made that specified sums be designated for student relief at the several institutions of a state, and that the balance be allocated to the counties on any suitable basis.
Suggests Student Relief Plans
Appended to the Zook letter is a statement from Dr. Frederick J. Kelly, chief of the division of colleges and professional schools of the Bureau of education, in which reasons for federal support will be set forth. Dr. Kelly lists the following:
Reasons for Federal Aid
2. Under present conditions, there is a falling off in the training of this leadership. Whereas high school graduates have increased 40 per cent in the past few years, college enrollments dropped 15 per cent in the same time.
Reasons for Federal Aid
1. National progress depends on trained leadership, such as the colleges and universities furnish.
3. A student in college requires only part-time work in order to keep going. That same student, out of school, would be in the field for a full-time job, thus adding to present demands for relief. Kansas has added interest in the Zook report and its supporting state-credit program that is a graduate of the University of Kansas. He received degrees in 1906 and 1907. Dr. Kelly is a former dean of the School of Education and later dean of administration at the University.
OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY HEAD MADE HALL OF FAME ELECTE
President W. B. Bizzell of the University of Oklahoma was notified Saturday of his selection as one of the electors to make the choice of 16 famous Americans for inclusion in the Hall of Fame at New York University reports the Oklahoma Daily. The selection came out in 1935. At present, 69 noted Americans are represented in the Hall with space remaining for 83 more.
Sigma Xi Makes Tomorrow The January meeting of the Kansas chapter of Sigma Xi, honorary chemistry society, will be held in the lecture room of Blake hall tomorrow night at 7:30. Dr. Selma Gottlieb, professor of chemistry, will speak to the assembly on "Some Problems in Water Treatment." Beside Dr. Gottlieb's lecture there will be an initiation ceremony for those new members elected at the December meeting.
Dean F. W. Blackmar, once head of the department of sociology at the University, who died in 1931, was one of the hundred electors of members of the Hall of Fame for 25 years and in 1920 was the only elector from Kansas.

'Torture' Number of Northwestern Humor Magazine Censored
The "torture" number of the Purple Parrot, Northwestern humorous publication, was judged to be too purple and was censored by the University Board of Publications according to the Daily Northwest. With about one-half of the copy being banned a large part of the publication is being rewritten for a new type of publication. DWI for dirt's sake and sex for sex's sake will be avoided and the off-color embarrassing moments will be eliminated
Professor William Slaughter of the Northwestern journalism department said: "I do not believe that the undergraduate mind is capable of producing enough clean humor and irony to fill a monthly magazine and make it sell."
/aried Program Given at Annual Band Concert
Opening March Selection Written by J. H. Bell of Lawrence
Several hundred persons gathered at the University auditorium last evening to hear the program given by the University of Kansas band in its twenty-seventh mid-winter concert given under the director, J. C. McCales
A program of character and variety had been set up. The band is smallled in numbers than in recent years, yet for the most part the balance was good and the men played with spirit and enthusiasm.
The opening number on the program was written by one of Lawrence's most respected citizens, J. H. Bell, who in his March, "Hochschool Festival," showed he knows how to write for band in one of its most effective types of musical literature. The marche, played with dashi and precision, was heartily applauded.
Two solisists were featured in last evening's program. Virgil Parker, cornetist gave the solo part of the Rossi, "Stabat Mater," and Professor Roy Underwood, pianist, of the School of Fine Arts faculty, presented a "Country Dance," from Beethoven, and a "Wienese Dance," from Friedman-Carter. As an encore Mr. Underwood gave Chassin's "Rush Hour in Hong-Kong."
Effective band numbers were the well known "Ballet Egyptian," from Lugini, a "Hungarian Fantasia," arranged by Moses-Tobani, a group of Negro Spirituals, arranged by White, selections from Victor Herbert's Comic Opera, "Naughty Marietta," and a clever and dainty "Serendade," from E. Meyer-Helmund in which Carl W. Smith played the oboe part.
To close the program, the new march song by J. C. McCanles, "Play Ball," was given, bringing the trumpeters to the front on the opening bugle calls, a la Sousa.
Ruf Neks Will Reorganize
Suspended Sooner Groups Apply for Reinstalment
Norman, Okla., Jan. 17. —An appeal by a committee of Ruf Neks, made Friday for permission to resume pep activities for the basketball season will be approved by President Bizzell as soon as a written application for reinstate is made, Harry Kornbault, Enid, president, said Saturday.
Plans are being made for a general meeting the first week of the second semester to elect officers and reorganize to conform with the provisions of a new constitution recently approved by the board of regents.
Under the terms of reorganization, the group will select a faculty sponsor to pass on the eligibility of members. The group will be composed at the first meeting.
Jazz Hounds, the other suspended group, also plans to submit an application for reinstatement and reorganization to Bizzell early next semester. Baxter Taylor, Oklahoma City, president, has announced.
Both groups indicated that they intend to attend all games in uniform and to present demonstrations at the half-time period.
Oread Schedules Games
Oread Training School games have been scheduled as follows: Feb. 3, Lawrence Memorial High. Feb. 24, Vocational Agriculture class in the gym of the Lawrence Memorial High. The boys are being trained by Roy Klass, e'34, who is doing his practice teaching.
High Scorer Against Tigers
PAY EBLING
Playing his second Big Six game this sophomore scored three field goals and seven free throws in a crucial game at Columbia last night. Ebling also leads his team in total scoring to date.
Faculty Rules on Courses
Credit in Biology Classes Will Not be Given Medical Students
The College faculty, at its January meeting yesterday afternoon, adopted the recommendation of the administrative committee that a number of courses in biological sciences, open to College students for credit, could not be offered for credit by students seeking a combined degree in the College and in the School of Medicine. Reason for the action is that the content of these College courses is duplicated in School of Medicine courses.
The faculty also adopted a form of procedure for examinations to be taken by students seeking to obtain College credit other than by transcript from an accredited institution.
The communication from the W.S.G.A. and Men's Student Council, suggesting means by which greater honesty in examination could be obtained, was read, and a resolution of appreciation adopted.
Eight Students in Recital

Columbia, Mo., Jan. 17.-By the margin of two free throwes the University of Kansas defeated the Missouri Tigers here last night 27 to 25 in a thrill-packed Big Six basketball game that had the record breaking crowd of 5,000 that milled into Brewer Field house on its feet most of the time.
The Kansas victory broke a seven-year jinx for the Jayhawkers who had not winted in basketball game on a Missouri court since 1927. The win gave the Jayhawkers a tie for fourth place with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and dropped Missouri from a tie for first to a tie for second with the Kansas State Wildcats. Oklahoma alone remains undefeated in conference circles.
In Tie Near End
Only three minutes remained to play when shots by John Cooper, court veteran forward, and Capt. Denver Miller, a guard, tied the score, but the Jay-hawkers, who were twice fouled, converted both attempts to clinch the victory. Wells and Gray scored the charity tosses.
The Kauans displayed a sparkling offensive and a tight defense, but their play was matched by the Tigers who rallied each time as the Jayhawks pulled ahead. The game was one of intermittent flashes of brilliant goal shooting and close guarding.
The Kansans tried more long shoals as the Tigers were content to work the ball in for closer attempts. It was in the matter of free throws, however, that the Jayhawks had the edge. Making good shots was out of 10 for the Tigers, the visitors were always able to pull ahead and provide the points when they were needed.
Ebling is High Scorer
Ray Ebling, Kansas sophomore forward, carried high score honors with 13 points as he whipped in three field goals and scored seven successive free throws. Miller and Cooper of the Tigers were next high with seven points each, one more than Harrington, Kansas guard and captain could make.
Both starting quintets held the floor throughout the game. Never was the margin of difference great enough for either coach to chance sending in a substitute, although four players, two on each team had three personal fouls and were in danger of being forced from play as the game ended.
The Jayhawkers with their altered line-up presented a surprising height that gave them the advantage at almost every post except center, where Schaper, Tiger sophomore, controlled the tip most of the time.
Last Half Full of Thrills
The last half of the battle which provided most of the thrills for the players and spectators. Wilmer Shaffer took a fast pass to score a goal followed by a free throw by Ebling. Thompson, Missouri sophomore forward, cut in for a close basket, but Harrington counted for the Jawhaykers again with a free throw. Ray Ebling's two goals in rapid succession gave the Jawhayks a 22 to 15 lead, but the Tigers staged long goals for Missouri, but the drive was temporarily blocked by Harrington's goal for Kansas from the side of the court. Cooper got a long shot and Miller scored a free throw. Cooper scored a free throw on Harrington's foul. Harrington got a charity toss of Schaper's foul, but with three minutes remaining took the ball, spun in the air and dropped in a goal that tied the score.
The remainder of the game was
