Heart Attack Kills Life Long Friend of K. U. Students
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1934
'Dolly' Graeber, Kaw Rive Boatman Who Has Rescued 15 Persons, Found Dead
G. A. (Dolly) Graeber, 78 years old, a pioneer of Douglas county and a great friend of that part of the student body interested in boating, died yesterday morning of heart disease. He was known throughout the state for his connection with the Kaw river. During his lifetime he has saved the lives of at least 15 people and has recovered the bodies of over 25 persons who have drowned in the river.
However, it is in connection with his boat livery that most students will remember Dolly. For years he has rented canoes, boats, and launches to those wishing to make excursions up the river. Years ago in the winter, when it was cold enough to have ice on the river, he operated an ice rink.
Was Rescue Worker in 1903
Mr. Graeber became recognized as a great river authority during the 1963 flood which caused a damage over four million dollars. For over six weeks he operated his launch constantly, transporting over 23,000 persons and 100 tons of provisions.
Because of his outstanding knowledge of the treacherous currents of the Kiwu he has always been called to recover the bodies of drowned persons. He recovered the body of Harry Burnham, an All-Valley tackle on the 1913 Kansas football team. In connection with the injury he was always careful to warn the renters of the dangerous currents and unfavorable river conditions.
Fishing Method Dangerous
His dangerous but effective method of catching catfish in the Kaw has been described by Professor L. L. Dyche founder of Dyche museum, in his book "On Pond Fishing. He would go down the mill wall side of the dam and enter open spaces of the wall where fish would be slowly moving about. When he had found a fish to suit his fancy he would fasten a hook behind the dorsal fin and pull out the fish. These fish would weigh anywhere from 25 to 75 pounds. The largest fish that Graeber caught in this manner weighed 100 pounds. However, he at one time made a prize capture of a 145-pound catfish with a rod and line using a three pound carp as bait.
Conducted Plumbing Business In addition to his river activities Mr. Gaueber conducted a plumbing business with his brothers since 1893.
He is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Pearl Sechrist of Cambridge, Ohio, two sons, Kenneth, c37, and Arling, of Los Angeles, Calif., a daughter, Miss Bernice Graeber, head of the home economics department of Northeast Junior high school Kansas City, Carl of Lawrence, and two sisters, Miss Laura Graeber and Mrs. Frank Holiday of Lawrence.
Funeral services will be held to tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock from Funk's funeral chapel. Dean R. A Schweigler will be in charge and the burial is to be in Memorial Park cemetery.

Inspects University Post Office
Inspects University Post Office
The University post office was recently inspected by Inspector Wilnes from government headquarters, and found to be in good shape. According to R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the post office, there was not as large a Christmas mailing this year from the University post office as last year, but the regular mail is about the same.
Heinz Puell Believes American Pictures Still Portray Anti-German Propaganda
Heinz Puell, German exchange scholar, believes that such pictures as "Captured," recently shown in Lawrence, is a result of ant-German propaganda which is a remnant of the World war period and that it is continuing to paint an untrue picture of the German people.
He claims that German motion picture productions have ceased to portray such propaganda against other countries.
Mr. Puell wrote a letter to the Kansan with the explanation, "Perhaps you are interested in the following letter though it is written in undoubtedly a rather German-like English."
The letter follows:
During the last months, American newspapers and magazines tried as much as possible to prove the dishonesty of the German government and people. I wondered up to day that they are encouraged to such a criticism though they know after the experience of the World war, how easy it is to tell atroity-stories but how difficult to prove them. The investigation of Lloyd Georges for instance concerning the cut hands of Belgian children proved only the phantasy of some reporters.
But it is easy to understand such a psychosis when 15 years after the armistice you can find such kind of propaganda as in the picture show just now running in Lawrence, "Captured." It is now the question of a German to doubt the honesty of certain groups of
Student Health Service to Conduct Chest Clinic
Dr. C. F. Taylor of Nortor to Make Examinations on Tuesday
Dr. C. F. Taylor, superintendent of the State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis at Norton, will conduct the first of two clinics at the student hospital Tuesday, for the purpose of observing and recommending treatment for those student and faculty members who show symptoms of tuberculosis or other lung diseases.
A number of students have been under observation at the student hospital for the past several weeks and it is for these students in particular that the clinic is being held, however, faculty members will be admitted to the clinic by appointment with Dr. Taylor.
Expenses of the clinic are being detroyed by the Douglas County Tuberculosis association, the funds being derived from the sale of Christmas seals in this county. It is planned to hold a second clinic of this nature again in the spring. These clinics are in line with a nation wide drive to stamp out tuberculosis. Many similar ones are being held at university student health services through out the country.
Dr. Taylor will also conduct a clinic for residents of Lawrence on Monday. The clinic at the student hospital will be conducted during the entire day on Tuesday.
NUMBER 68
'RADIO' DEBATE QUESTION
IS DISCUSSED OVER KFKU
The fifth of a series of discussions on the various phases of the "Radio" debate question was given over station KFKU Friday night by Jack Rice, Elsworth, and Ross Robertson, Marys-members of the freshman debate squad.
Rice and Robertson discussed the desirability of introducing the British system of radio control into America in view of its effect on the political welfare of the country.
Professor Charles Sanford Skilton, organist and composer whose music appreciation periods have been a feature of station KFKU throughout the time the station has been on the air, is lecturing this year on the history of music, tracing the development of music in the various countries.
Following the discussion, Professor E. C. Buehler, associate professor of speech, gave a few comments to aid understanding. The "Radio" question this year.
C. S. SKILTON WILL BEGIN
HISTORY OF MUSIC TALKS
Just before the holidays, Professor Skilton completed the discussion of English music and will discuss the music of France during the first part of the spring semester. Later he will speak on American music.
Mrs. Burdick to Give
Mrs. William L. Burdick will speak
to the Advance Standing Commission
at 4:30 Tuesday, at Henley house. Mrs.
Burdick will tell something of her trip
around the world.
Mrs. Burdick to Give Talk
Americans—this generalization according to the methods of the American press concerning German affairs—looking to the fact that the producers of the pictures show a part of the German officers and soldiers being like beasts, mistreating the prisoners and German "Musketers." There has been no German picture show in the last 10 years showing the former enemies in such a brute and hateful form.
I am feeling sorry that a picture show which could be very good even if you dislike the stubborn happy end, shows such a failure, but much more I am embarrassed of the fact that Americans seem to enjoy especially at these scandalous and ashaming scenes.
-Heinz Puell.
Sophomore Women May Turn In Pictures Now
Second Beauty Contest to Be in Third Issue of Jayhawker
With the third issue of the Jayhawk coming out some time during the week of Feb. 15, all sophomore women who are intending to enter the sophomore beauty contest are urged to get their picture in the Jayhawk office by 5 p.m. the afternoon of Jan. 18. The editor, Quentin Brown, is calling for the various hill sorrisors to turn in, as soon as possible, the photographs of the women they desire to enter in the contest.
Also, women who are not members of a hill sorority equally are urged to submit their pictures. "In the recent freshmen contest," said Brown, "we were well pleased with the interest shown by all groups of women on the hill."
The method of selection will be similar to that followed in the freshmen contest. A local committee will judge the submitted photographs and select the 15 finalists. These women will then compete in the finals, and their pictures will be judged by some well-known authority who will be announced in the Kansan within the next few days. In the last contest, Paul Gardner, director of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of art, was the judge. All sophomore women are eligible to enter the contest and they may submit any photograph which they have. These pictures will be returned after the preliminary indie
Besides the beauties, sophomore class pictures are to be featured. These glosses are due in the office of the Jayhawker not later than Friday, Jan. 19 at 5 p.m. They may be taken by any photographer in Lawrence. Those intending to have their pictures in are requested to bring them personally to the Jayhawker office and fill out the identifying information.

Plans are Formed for Reconstruction of Dyche Museum
Work May Start on Condemned Building by Feb.1; Strength to Be Added
Pencil museum for the reconstruction of Dyche Museum of Natural History have been completed by State Architect Joe. Radethtinky. Although the plans are tentative, it is hoped that work may be begun on the project by Feb. 1, but because of the usual delay in such work Dr. H. H. Lane, head of the Dyche zoology, said he would be satisfied if actual work was 'born by March 1.'
Strong Supports Used
Dyche was closed on the morning of Nov. 30, 1952, following an inspection of all state buildings by Mr. Radotinsky and the state fire marshal. The falling of a ceiling in the auditorium at the Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, brought about the inspection.
According to the present plans, Dr. Lane explained, the building will have new concrete floors capable of supporting 100 pounds per square foot. It will be en-reforced by steel frames. Three rows of piers, approximately 17 feet apart, instead of two rows as were used previously, will support the floors. The new arrangement will reduce the cost of construction from $17,000 to $11,000 or $12,000.
The problem which this building scheme creates is how to arrange 20 to 22 foot cases of fossils, which will occupy the ground floor, in the 17 foot spaces between the piers. The fossils will be moved from the top floor to the basement because they are the heaviest of the exhibit materials.
Another change to be made is the construction of a new floor between the main panorama and the floor above. This additional floor will form a mesial line floor. The ceiling height of the panorama, now 22 feet, is to be cut to 14 feet and the floor above the panorama will be raised 4 feet. The new mesial line floor will be 91 feet across. It will contain the archaeological material which heretofore has been placed on the other floors. From the mesial line floor it will be possible to view the panorama.
Third Floor Rearranged
The third floor of Dyche, which contains the bird specimens, will be entirely rearranged. Cases, approximately $31\frac{1}{2}$ feet high and 5 feet wide, will be set into the walls around the room. The ceiling above the 8 foot space between each case will be arched. In the center of the room there will be four groups of cases each consisting of two long cases with a three-foot aisle between them. Between each group there will be an 8 foot aisle.
The panorama will be restored as nearly as possible to its old outlines with the exception of an alteration of the ceiling height.
In the background, present plans call for a painted scene, arranged in a semi-circle, which will be characteristic of the birds' habitat.
An airborneighting system亦叫做 that used in the William Rockhill Nelson gallery of art will be used. Dyche was erected in 1902-5 act a cost of $75,000. It was the outgrowth of the interest of Professor L. L. Dyche in the collecting of museum of all kinds. It was built in the early days of concrete work when the floor slabs were reinforced with heavy woven wire instead of the iron rods which are now used for this purpose.
Presidents to Address Rotary
Lila Lawson, president of the W.S. G.A., and Kurt Riesen, president of the Men's Student Council, are to be the guest speakers at the noon luncheon of the Rotary club to be held Monday at the Eldridge hotel. The two speeches will be on student participation in government.
Colloquium to Meet Tomorrow
The regular meeting of the psychology colloquium will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 in room 21 of the Administration building. Robert Bridgen, instructor, will give a report on his doctor's thesis, "Thyroid and Circular Movement in the Human Being."
Lawson to Minneapolis
Paul B. Lawson, acting dean of the College, left Friday night for Minneapolis to visit the University of Minnesota for a few days. He is interested in some administration of the College office there, and wished to make a first-hand study.
