一 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NUMBER 100 VOLUME XXX The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas The Current Scene In this the first appearance in the Daily Kaman of the column which will appear periodically and spassmodically from time to time, we feel constrained to give a word of explanation. This column will be the joint effort of several of the members of the department of music, our staff, our staff, Feeling, as we do, the need of some medium through which gossip can be verified—or at least find its way into print—rumor have its innings, personalities their limelight, and dark corners made bright with the search-light of truth, we take our bow and The Current Sienna become a reality for us. We feel moments of your lovely needed time. As Ben Bernie says "We hope you like it!" That the ten cent meal plan at the University has received much publicity and of a telling nature was evidenced yesterday on Massachusetts street when a pan-handler hit us. Instead of asking for money for a cup of the coffee, the planker, "Brother, can you spare a dime, see我 Fred Elaworth about a meal." The problem confronting the fraternities and sororites on the Hill is a grievous one, we grant. Just as a hindrance, what they must do in order to salvage something from the wreck, we need to move the plan being tried out in several California colleges; to wit: The fraternities owning huge homes have opened their houses and taken in another fraternity or sorority, the two living in the same house, using the same dining hall, and keeping up with their organizations. The group making the move of course relinquishing their own house. Think it over, Greeks. It's not such a bad idea. By the way, does anyone know how the Pi Phi's are situated financially? LAWRENCE KANSAS SUNDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1923 Of course, it's only rumor, but we understand that the local Phi Gams are going to go before their national convention and seek a privilege that has been granted to them by the organization. The young men of the Kansas chapter wish to have the national body bestow an honorary membership on a member of the fairer sex group; they are also an annual. You guessed it! Dean Ague Husband is the lady in question. Our operative at Twelfth and Oreaux reports strange goings on at an apartment, at that corner, occupied by a couple of dawntower athletes (wearing K's). Probably just a will of-the-wisp, but it may bear watching. We get our first good look at the gal that the Sour Owl titled the Hill's Most Alluring the other day. We had voted for the College Widow, but now we go publicly on record as being desired of changing our vote Sorry Eunice. We understand that since the frat tax went through, the dear sisters of the Kite are mighty glad they didn't start the mortgage manager on Terness so we could buy Throne (on alumna, of course) put the damper on the girls ambitions. The text book question is again in burning problem. We know for we know to taddle a couple of books we used—slightly—last semester only to be informed that a new edition was out and that no could be made of the used copies. Life is so difficult—even with ten cent meals. A certain young professor in the confines of West Ad is quite an enigma to his friends. He tells nothing about himself and is consequently quite the man of mystery. In his lectures he dwells on how a child can recognize which probably makes him a Fugitive From A Chain Store Gang. Pretty poor? Bear with us. Is the Chai Omega house closed? . . . That's the fun of columning . . . Make all those cute little dots periods, to you . . . when you can think of nothing . . . else to do . . . It's good training too, the shipping clerks this like, to check goods . . . to check someone else graduate should know . . . Well, we'll be seeing you again, soon. That Old Rascal Depression Favors Smokers In Cigaret War New York, Feb. 11. (UP)—War between the four big tobacco companies of America spread to a new front today and cigarette smokers benefited by the lowest retail prices since "sweet capes" were a nickle a pack 30 years ago. The war entered the financial phase when the American tobacco announced a new tax on tobacco products for $5.50 a thousand Lucky Strike, less the usual trade discount. Other companies followed suit. As a result cigarette buyers at the nation's leading chain stores were able to buy a package, a carton, or a dozen cartons at the rate of 10 cents for a package of 20. Diplomatic Battle Nears Crisis Under New Forces Observers Believe Japan Will Take One of Two Positions Washington, Feb. 11. — (UP) The diplomatic battle between Japan and the western powers appeared to officials here today to be approaching a crisis under the impetus of new forces. Observers expect either that Japan will withdraw from the League of Nations and challenge the right of the Ocidental powers to mediate in far Eastern affairs or take a positive position sufficiently to accept a satisfactory form of conciliation with China. Primary among the forces is the new note of firmness in the League of Nations conservations with Tokio. This, combined with the French ones, one a change in British policy toward support of the Chinese position against Japan. Britain as one of the most powerful members of the Allies was infiltrated. The entire Genovo body. The second is a growing belief in Geneva that Japan has been "bluffing" and that in a crisis it would modify; its adamant position against interference with the present regime in Manchuria. This transition in British policy, to carry the analysis further, is believed to be more than an insult to anger at what Nanking had come to regard as Britain's pro-Japanese policy at Geneva. Britain has a large trade with China, and naturally feared that its commercial position might be damaged by a boycott if anti-British feeling spread to the United States, but can position on the far-eastern problem as a counter balance to forthright demands for war debt revision. Now as a result of all these factors it appears that the league may record its first defeat in World War II of Manchukuo and further may condemn Japan for its attack on Chinese sovereignty. The only alternate would be acceptance by Tokio of a conciliation formula having due regard to United States Is Invited Geneva, Feb. 11—(UP)—The League of Nations sub-committee drafting a resolution on the Manchurian crisis decided today to invite the United States and Russia to name representatives to serve on a committee which will be charged with application of the assembles recommendation.

By Jean Jacques Kremen Homeless Search Frantically for Dead Relatives After Explosion in Germany Kremer Describes Copyright, 1988, by the United Press Noukenicur, Germany, Feb. 11.-(UP)- Thirty thousand men and women, deprived of their livelihood by the gas tank explosion which wrecked the city and took a toll of 170 dead and 1,000 injured, wandered in a daze through their shattered homes today. Many of them, their clothing tattered and torn, had to be restrained by police from rushing into the charred and ruined streets and huddled together in the cold, rush forward each time rescue workers brought out a corpse. It was a scene of war-time desolation, a long line of fire engines and ambulances advanced as though to a giant wall. Two men and children were wandering 10 kilometers from Noumenkirchen, their clothes torn and burned. Six kilometers from the city, the wave of fugitive crowds would not penetrate country to reach the oak. Brailsford Will Speak on Disarmament Topic From a hill last night I looked down on a sight of indecisible misery, illuminated by great columns of flames from the bennice plant. The shadowy forms of hundreds of buildings outlined against the flames as they ran between collapsing houses while police sought to maintain order. Tuesday Night's Lecture Will End Community Series H. B. Navairford, who is to lecture on "Why Don't Nations Diaspo?" next Tuesday evening will arrive in Lawrence Tuesday afternoon, according to the University of New Orleans. Nichols, secretary to the chancellor, is on his way from California and will stop at Santa Fe to give a lecture at the University of New Mexico. This is the last lecture on the University lecture series at 20 p. m. in the University Auditorium. Brulafield has been known as an authority on international affairs for many years. He has spoken before foreign ministers and has occupied the largest cities. He distinguished himself first when he was a student and lecturer in the Glasgow University and has traveled extensively in search of material for the several books he has Some of his best works are: "The Broom and the War God," "Macedonia," "The War and Steel and Gold," and "War and Peace." In these volumes, Brailford has conducted columns on world affairs for many magazines here and abroad. One of these can be found in the "The World War" international杂志, and international articles published in New York. Brailford's lectures are descriptive is well as constructive. They are vivid picture words of life in the Europe of today, and Brailford seldom lets diplomacy interfere with his descriptions and the listing of bare facts concerning a city in peace, so close our civilization in peace, said Nichols. aw Convocation Postnomed OF AURORA. The law formation which was scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed until Feb 21. Cyrus Crane of Kansas will speak. MISSOURI DOWNS JAYHAWKERS 21--17; OKLAHOMA WINS. TAKING FIRST PLACE McDermott's Five Defeats Huskers by 39-35 Margin Nebraska Leads Most o Way Failing Before Last Minute Spurt HALF-TIME COUNT 23-10 Norman, Okla. Feb. 11—(UP)—The University of Oklahoma tonight stepped out into the led of the Big Six conference. While Oklahoma was defeating Nebraska, the pace-setting Kansas Jayhawks fell later before the University of Oregon did. The Dermott's squad undisputed lead in the conference as the result of their 39 to 35 victory over Nebraska tonight. The Soocers literally battered the Main and Browning, Oklahoma guards, went through the strong Nebraska defenses for scores during the second half and turned the side of The Sooners literally battered the heavy Nebraska squad down, breaking its morale in the final minutes after the Cornhuskers had led throughout the game. At the half Nebraska was ahead 23 to 19. Abraham Lincoln 1809--1865 Herrion, Nebraska center, was high score of the game with 14 points. He was easily the outstanding performer of the game for his team. For Oklahaea, Browning, who a sick kid to play, turned in a spectacular scoring performance making four field goals and two free throws. The smooth working Nebraska were master of the game. When Main turned the acces at $3 all, the Nebraska offensive machine cracked. It was Oklahoma's fifth victory in Big Six conference games this season. The team has suffered one defeat.

Tiger Jinx Holds as Kansas Drops Important Battle Allen's Five Goes Into Second Place; Dick Wells High Scorer With Eleven Points COUNT, 14-10 AT HALF Columbia, Mo. Feb. 11—(UP)—The Tampa猛虎才团结 hold their home court victory jinx over the Kansas City wildcard competition, winning her touch, 21 to 17. No since 1927 has Kansas won a basketball game at Tiger soil, and the defeat tonight was a severe blow on the Tigers' season of Dr. F. C. Allen and his quintet. Kansas was heading the conference before the game in Columbia on night, with a record of five victories and one loss. The team lost to Coach George Edward's wounds, coupled with Oklahoma's 29 to 35 victory over Nebraska at Norman, shaves the Jayhawks into second place a half game later. In three games, show five wins and one loss. Missouri Plays Slow Game The Tigers were crazy tonight in the game, which left Missouri defent of the season. Cutch Edwards, who never has agreed with the 19-second and center line court codes, flouted the new rules tonight and had his team play a slow, a fast game in the offensive half of the court. At the inference, Missouri hung up, Missouri leading 14 to 10. The second period showed even fewer scores, each quintet ringing up seven markers. At one time in the closing half, with about ten minutes to go, Missouri had conquered the Missouri stall and went into a monometry 16 to 15 lead. The Tigers came back快 to hit an advantage, taking a 17 to 16 advantage. Kansas did not overcome the margin, although several Jayhawker margins in the winning minutes. A Missouri Comeback The victory was a great comeback for the Tigers who were defeated in their last four starts. The game was close, however, and Missouri was not assured victory until the final game. The score was tied five times during the 40 minutes of action, twice in the opening period and three times in the last ball. The contest was as rough as it would have been for any player, because for the ball under the basket, and on a few occasions as many as six players were on the floor. Bill Johnson, KU's rangers center, who is leading the conference in individual scoring, was guarded closely by the Tigers and held to three points. The Tigers had a handshoot in the opening minutes of play, the first one hung up by Kansas. To Dick Well, Jayhawker sophomore forward, went the scoring honors for the night. He connected for 11 three field goals and five free throws. Captain Norman Wagner was high point men for Missouri with eight points. Wagner Opens Scoring The Tiger captain opened the scoring with a basket near the free throw mark, but Johnson came back a minute later with his one-handed affair to give Kanaa a bucket. Deadlocked, he pulled off the save, the Missouri forged ahead as the result of two goals from the center of the court by Johnny Cooper, forward, and Denver Miller, guard, coupled with a pair of free throws by Cooper and Wagner. This gave the Tiger a lead with the draw remaining to a close. Wells kept Kansas in the running with a basket and two gift throws before the half time gun sounded, with Missouri in the lead, 14 to 10. It was Wells again who made the Jayhawks dangerous as the second period ended. He broke lose for two field goals in the early minutes that put the two quintets into a tie, 14 to 14. A minute later the two teams were again tied, 15 to 13, made possible by tally losses on the part of Wells and Wanda. At this point of the game, with 10 minutes elapsed, Elmer Schanke, Kansas guard, gave the Jayhawkers a Continued on page 4
