Brinkley Prepares to Conduct Drive for Governorship
Goat Gland Specialist Severs Connection With Mexican Radio Station

'KANSAS CALLS HIM
Del Río, Texas. Feb. 2—(UP)—An active campaign for the governorship of Kansas will be waged by Dr. John R. Brinkley, the Milford foond gland specialist and political question mark maker. State, State, it was understood here today.
Few students realize that there are more than two museums on the campus. According to the oldest senior Dyche museum and Spooner-Thayer are the only ones well known. However, if a museum is a place where objects are displayed on display, then there is a third hidden away beneath the caves of Fraser hall.
Brinkley announced he had severed all business connections with XER, the powerful Villa Acuna, Mexico, radio station which he built after the federal radio commission declined to re-receive his license to operate his Millicent校区.
The Green room installed by Prot Allen Cotton during the first season of Fraser theater is equipped entirely with modernistic furniture. The theatre's stage, the "Her Husband's Wife", a season ago will remember its premier appearance on the stage of Fraser. This set of "magnyag" furnish, which will not bear water or sunlight, looks very authentic indeed, and is complete even to the baby grand piano standing proudly at the south end of the Green Room. Here is a clever bit of decoration from the hands of the master pianist, Jake Log about it, is truly that of a real piano, its "inards" (if one may be allowed the use of the term) are missing. And so—the music is also lacking. The ebony keys are in reality printed on glossy paper and never move beneath anything weaker than a sledge hammer.
"my business calls me to Kansas where my home and heart are," Doctor Brinkley declared. "I must return. I'll do what the people of Kansas ask."

Chancellor One of Ten Chosen for Olympic Games This Summer
High up, beneath the roof of old Fraser hall, is the Green room, and there are kept the "prop" or articles of furniture, decoration, and utility necessary in the production of a varied program such as is presented in Fraser Hall.
Names of the other nine delegates at large are not available here, but it is understood the list includes Pres. Fred. Ross and President Rufus B. Von Kleismid of the University of Southern California Theodore Roosevelt, governor general MacArthur, chief of staff of the United States army.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley of the University of Kansas announced today he had accepted an invitation to be one of the guests for the NCAA tennis games at Los Angeles this summer.
Lindley Delegate-at-Largo
The appointment, it is understood carries with it voting power equal to that of the presidents of the 29 different union, and involves also, the Chancellor understands, the making of a number of addresses interpreting American ideals of sportsmanship to the world. The emphasis is in connection with the Olympics.

To Present Three-Act Play
Topcka, Feb. 2. — (UP) The Wash-

"Children of the Moon," a three-act
drama, here Monday, Feb. 15.
All along the top of the wardrobe are the numerous jugs, decanters, and bottles from which drunks and inebriates seem to take a drink. And there seems to be a distinction between an inebriate and a drunk, and so the crude jugs are kept apart for the one while the fancy decanters and the other are served to serve the other are arranged to serve the other on the stones
In the storehouse, just outside the Green room, the doughy or shall we say the dumgy figure of one of the four windows in the guard over the properties of the University theater. Behind his dignified front are various stalls. Each stall has its own particular type of property, such as large windows, gracefully constructed, to the narrow cell windows of a Greek monastery; fireplaces of different periods and styles, doors, plains and elaborate chairs are in their correct places.
The storehouse with its dim light seems a sad place during the day. And when the last rays of the sun pass over the dumpster, it seems as if he looks at one with his papier-mache hat and a shovel in his hand once more allowed to hauk in the brilliant light of the theater where they properly belong.
Cooper Is Guest Organist
Harry E. Cooper, prominent Kansas City organist, will be the third guest organist appearing on the University of Oklahoma campus this week, next Sunday afternoon instead of Powell Weaver, who has asked for a later date because of a recent illness.

For the past year, in connection with his musical work in Kansas City, he will play the Kansas music department of Ottawa University.

Definite Athletic Budget to Be Announced Soon
Board of Regents to Receive Report of Investigation
Definite announcement concerning athletic expenditures at the University, following recommendations by an investigating committee will probably be made by the Board of Reports after a meeting here Feb. 20, it has been announced.
It is also felt that the reegents at it present feel that the resignation of Larry Mullison, who to take the position of associate professor of College, Atchison is sufficient reduction for the staff this year at least, and that to dismiss any member of the coaching staff at this late date would be an unfortunate difficulty of finding another position.
The Board of Regents met the Tuesday, Jan. 28, at Topeka and were presented recommendations of the athletic board on Tuesday, Jan. 29, by Chancellor E H Lainley. The members of the Board of Regents discussed the situation in a general way and brought the ietress together for additional consideration of it.
It is anticipated that reductions in coaching salaries will be made, how-ever, to ensure the pet will probably be made at the same time keeping the staff intact by asking for extra training.
No Wheat Exchange Loss
Students Who Got Meal Tickets for Grain to Receive Full Value
Students who agreed to exchange wheat on their farms at a 50-cent price for meal kebabs at the College Img will not be hoces, despite the fact that they
The contract which they made with G. L. Holt, cafe manager, specified that the wheat should be delivered before May 1. None of the wheat has been harvested so far and home towns, and need not be until the time specified. The students, however, have already received considerable value in meals from their transaction.
According to Mr. Holt, the three students, Gilbert Spitzer, Hidden Gibson, and John Gates, will continue to "eat out" the credit received at a co-operative club which has sponsored them.
The contract calls for delivery of 208 bushels of wheat before May 1 in exchange for 20 meal tickets, sold at $ each, but good for $5.50 in sale.
It seems that about 30 years ago the late Hattie Green, America's richest woman, sued William W. Crapo of New Bedford and other trustees of the estate of one of her aunts, charging they were unable for deposition of investments.

Mr. Johnson, in his questioning, asked questions, the purpose of which was to determine what uses for literary purposes, while Mr. Gorrill, leading attorney for the county sought to show that the fraternity houses could not be classified as literar-
Several amusing incidents occurred during the morning session. After Foy answered a fraternity library, Mr. Gorrill in cross examination, asked what books were contained. Foy replied that he was an engineer, and never had looked at them.
Wallace was still on the stand at the noon recess, and remained on the desk until afternoon.

Washington. Feb. 2 — (UP)—The house of representatives struck a unty blow with the economy act today by passing a special order forbidding any new farm or commercial tax until July 1, 1933.
