UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas 14 LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1833 Publicity Groups Named by County Club Committees Students Are Selected Advertise University in Various High Schools A committee of about 20 students from a dozen counties will meet this afternoon in room 5 Administration building to plan activities in the interest of the University during the Christmas holidays. Other students interested in these activities are invited. The members of this group are training of high schools by delegations of University students and reviving of alumni interest. The committee who met Friday to select the student committee is composed of Bill Avery, c'35; Chewy White, c'35; Helen Russel, c'35; Loberta Branaut, c'43; Clyde Coffman, c'36; Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the dean; and director of University publicity, and Fred Elsworth, Alumni secretary. The University coaches, who will accompany the basketball team to play Kansas Wesleyan at Salina Jan. I, will be asked to stop at some of the towns along the way and give talks in the high schools. It is also possible that the team will be entertained by the alumni along the way. High School Visits Suggested It was suggested that students visit their local high schools to present programs and give talks on their experiences at the University, and also that prominent alumni be asked to address the high school students. Chevy White is attempting to make arrangements to take the new campus movie showing pictures of students, activities, convoctations, buildings, and views, to Norton, probably Dec. 21 and to Oberland the next day. Since the high schools will be in session only four days during the Christmas holidays, only Jan. 1 and 2 remain available for the use of this film. Any person, preferably in western Kansas, desiring to obtain this film for showing in his home town or county is asked to see Feld Ellsworth at once. NUMBER 63 Faculty and Alumni to Aid Groups of students from the same counties are encouraged to buy Jay-hawkers and place them in their local high schools. They are also asked to fill activities and send them home be printed on the local newspapers. The various things County clubs can do throughout the counties to promote the general welfare of the University are: sending copies of the Jayhawker home, touring the county giving programs at each town, organizing a K.U. county basketball team and playing various high school teams within the county, putting on programs with the help of alumni in their own schools, going out against other students in programs put on in their own high schools, and having county social dances inviting all high school seniors in the county. The alumni office will furnish any student with a complete list of alumni and persons who are attending the University from his county. The faculty and alumni offices are cooperating with the county clubs and are doing all in their power to aid the students in their program. In the past Hawaiian musicians have been sent on a tour of the different towns, putting on a program, followed by a talk on the University by some faculty member. WRESTLING MATCHES DEPEND ON TEAM SPIRIT, SAYS COACH The possibility of early dual wrestling matches depends upon the strength and spirit of the team, according to the athletic authorities, and Coach Peter M. Mehringer is urging his squad to work harder and more consistently. He has expressed a desire for varsity candidates. "There are," he said, "some very nice squads that don't get training with their intramural teams. I feel that they should direct their abilities toward building up a strong varty squad." Including freshmen there are about 30 men reporting for practice now. Mehringer indicated that he would work only with the varsity in the future, leaving the freshmen to pick up experience and physical development on their own initiative by mingling with the varsity. Second Unit Placed Topeka—(UP) —The second unit of Topeka's new million-dollar postoffice building, located in service recently. The building has been under construction since 1932. Kappa Charter Member Gives Picture of Social Life at University in 1883 By Howard Sails, Jr., c'36 By Howard Sails, Jr., c. 36 If you can imagine renting a dignified hack from the leading livery stable of the town with one of the brothers and driving sedately up to get your date for the evening in your best frock coat, you can get a fairly accurate picture of the social life at ye old alma mater in the days of the early seekers of higher knowledge. Such was the picture as painted by Mrs. F. D. Hutchings of the class of 1883, when in Lawrence recently as an honored guest at the fifthi anniversary at the hotel Eldridge, Mrs. Hutchings is one of the charter members of the faculty of the University. She with seven other students of her class founded the chapter in 1883. If you, the social flashes of M. Ortead today, think of the students of those days as the perfect student personified and void of all social life, you have a badly mistaken idea, for as Mrs. Hutchings expressed it, "we practically danced our legs off." Of course, fellow student, they didn't race each other across the dance floor, to the blare of trumpets and moan of saxophones, in the manner of some of our present day dancing daughters and sons, but instead preferred the more graceful and restrained old fashioned waltz. They, being much more wise, did not perpetrate any such orgy as the backeblowing, shin-kicking "rut races" which are now so heartily attended every Wednesday night by the students of this University, but instead, organized a dancing school which was held every Friday night at one of the prominent dance halls of the town. It was during those days that the first "spine" dance floor made its appearance in the old Eldridge house and caused a minor sensation. It was there that al the formal parties were held. Little Junior did not have an unlimited checking account given him by a fond mamma or papa when he made his advent into the field of higher knowledge, in those days, and consequently was not the Beau Brummel that he is today. It was a real novelty when one of the wealthier of the collegiate Don Junns blossomed forth in a real dress suit. He had the distinction of being the only student in the University at that time who possessed one of these and many an envious glance fell in his direction. The male members of the student body wore their finest frock coats while the girls wore dresses not Riesen to Attend Meeting President of M. S. C. Will Go to Wash ington, D. C. Dec. 24 Kurt Riesen, president of the Men's Student Council, and Gunnar Mykland, a member of the council, are planning to leave Dec. 24, for Washington D. C. where they will attend the convention of the National Student Organization America. The convention starts on Dec. 27 and will last until Dec. 31. Efforts will be made, to have the convention held at Lawrence either next year or the following year, Riesen said FALL SCHOOL OF EDUCATION CONVOCATION TO BE JAN.

W.H.Irion, of the School of Education at the University of Missouri, will speak on "The Educational Outlook." Sour Owl Out Tomorrow "Christmas in Germany" will be the subject of a talk given by Heinz Puell, German exchange student, at a meeting of the German club Tuesday in Fraser hall. Members of the club will sing some German Christmas carols and do scripture reading in German. There will be an exchange of inexpensive gifts which have been made in Germany. Puell To Speak at German Club The Christmas issue of the Sour Owl, University humor magazine, will appear on the campus tomorrow morning. Results of the "most alluring coed" and "most fascinating he" content will be a special feature of this number. The re-emphasis which was made for the Homecoming issue will be in effect tomorrow also. At this statement the interviewer could not help inquiring as to what the "class bell" was, and found that it was a large bell, which awoke the students of class number in classes instead of the whistle to which we have grown accustomed. a great deal different from the ones worn by our feminine contingent today. "In those days all of the boys worked to help pay their way through college," said Mrs. Hutchings, "and one of girls job was ringing the class bell." While Mrs. Hutchings was here at the University there were only three buildings, North college, which has since been torn down, was used as the law building; Fraser hall was the main building, Chemistry, was a new building. The fees to the University were $10.00 for the whole year.

Improved Kansas Team Wins Second Game From Aggies Jayhawks Display Smooth Working Offensive to Trounce K-State Men, 34-20 Showing superior accuracy on both long and short shots and displaying a smoother working offensive the University of Kansas cagers defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 34 to 20 at Manhattan Friday night. It was the second time the Aggies had overcome over the Aggies who lost a game at Lawrence 27 to 13, Tuesday night. The Jayhawkers were playing without the services of Paul Harrington. regular forward and a third-year squad man who sprained his ankle in practice following the first Jayhawk-Wildcat game. Ralph Graham, regular WildCat game player. The Jayhawk game Graham will not play with the Manhattan team until after the East-West charity football game in which he has been invited to participate. Ray Eling, sophomore forward from Lindsborg, who created much favorable comment when he was inserted into the game with Kansas State here and scored three field goals, was the high scorer of the evening with three goals and two free throws for a total of eight points. Capt. "Bus" Boyd led the Manhattan team with six points, two field goals and two free throws. Kansas led 22 to 5, at the half after the Angies had spotted them on an 8 point lead at the first of the game. The Jay-ers took over at the game while the Angies used 10.

Kansas Leads at Half Jayhawks Will Play Warrensburg **Wildkids Win For the Winning** With the consent of Allan and Court, the Wildcats, E.C. Quigley, referee dishearted the new Big Six interpretation of the out-of-bounds play which requires the referee to handle the ball on each play in the last half of the game. Play was decidedly speeded up by use of the old style of play, the coaches and players decided. The defenses of both teams were strong, but the Jayhawks' ability to score from far back measured the big difference in the score. The Jayhawkers will play again next Thursday, the day following the beginning of Christmas vacation here, at Warrenburg, Mo., with the Warrenburg Teachers as opponents. Kansas defeated the Teachers 34 to 0 in football here this season. Warrenburg teams in football and basketball were coached by Dr. Allen more than a decade ago. The box score.

Work of Design Students Rivals Santa Claus' Shop Ash Trays, Greeting Cards and Pottery Wares Being Made Santa Claus' workshop has nothing on the design department of the School of Fine Arts. A noise at the North Pole such as that which deafens one when he enters the handcraft room, would surely frighten the reindeer away. Business in the department is good as Christmas draws near. Beaten copper ash trays and platters take shape amid loud clanging as hammers strike the metal; the potter's wheel whirls rapidly while deft fingers shape a clay mass into a beautiful, symmetrical vase; and the old printing press greas as it rests weight on block after block of limestone carved with a Christmas greeting. Perhaps the most interesting process carried on in the department is the making of pottery. Each piece is built from clay on a table wheel which spun around enabling the student to model the article symmetrically. When the shaping is completed, the piece is allowed to dry before it is fired. The firing process takes place in a kiln, located in the basement of the geology building, which must be heated from 8 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon before the proper temperature is reached. After the article has been removed from the kiln, it is ready for glazing. The beautiful blue-greens, reds, and yellows, which emerge from the second firing appear most drab in their original forms. The majority of them are dull shades of grey which are painted on the pottery with great care so that the colors may not become confused. When removed from the kiln, gleaming with a coat of bright color, the pottery is finished. Just as fascinating, are other crafts carried on daily in the department. Among the work are delicate batik scarfs. Batik is an ancient wax resist process found on rare oriental hangings. Jewelry is fashioned from silver and set with semi-precious stones by the students. Christmas cards are printed on an old Washington press, which was presented to the department of design by the journalism department. While learning these crafts, many of While learning these crafts, many of the students have already begun to derive an income from their work. COREY AND CROUCH DEBATE ON BRITISH RADIO CONTROL The fourth in a series of six debates by freshmen was broadcast over KFKU Friday night. The possibility of putting the British system of radio-control into operation in United States was discussed by Robert Covey, c37, and Russel Crouch, c37. The purpose of these debates is to help the high school debate teams who are discussing this topic this year. In each debate, a single topic is discussed. The first speaker is allowed six minutes, with a three minute rebuttal, and the second speaker talks nine minutes. After the debate, Professor E. C. Buehler points out the mistakes that the team has made in the discussion. The series will be concluded by a debate between the varsity teams of Kansas and Kansas State. Rice Dismissed From Hospital Dismissed from school. Jack Riordan, who was injured in an automobile accident last week, was dismissed from the student hospital yesterday morning. Two new cases were admitted to the hospital yesterday; Katharine Daugherty, c37, underwent a tonillectomy, and Orate Kraus, c35, because of a cold. Fiddler is 104 Years of Age Arkinda, Ark.—(UP) —A 104-year-old fiddler here, Joe Pritchard, claims to be the youngest old man in the Ozarks.
