Drake vs. Washington at St. Louis. Kansas vs. Grinnell at Lawrence. Kansas Aggies vs. Nebraska a Manhattan. With a present ranking of fourth place, Kansas has the fighting chance to gain second or third position by the end of the season. The Jayhawks have lost one more game than the Missouri Aggies and two more than the Arizona State, though through schedule ahead with games remaining with each of the three leaders. Oklahoma's powerful quitter appears to be the firm intrenched at the heart of this year's campaign, and no losses. The Sooners would have to drop four of the six remaining teams in order to keep clean sweep of the eight left on its schedule, before any change would be considered. Kansas, Oklahoma Aggies and Missouri football coach Matt Martin won the team to win the title, but they slight that critics have already conceded the 1927-28 championship to Wisconsin. Unfortunate Neophytes Must Learn to Swim Splash! Splash! Ripple, ripple goes the water, as the poor fish who can't swim makes an attempt to join Robinson swimming pool. Then he comes to the surface, wrigling, squirming, coughing and whistling whatnot. Apparently, he has just discovered that one can't breathe at the same time he comfortable—for long. But this is not all. Some neophytes are so unfortunate as to remain where they landed when they dived for prey or where the sun shines and not the rule, but when it does occur, the instructor runs mady for a wooden pole, hooked at one end, and ordinarily used to open windows, in which he can manipulate a pandemic mass of whirring arms and encircled legs, and as though spearing a fish of the salt-sea habitat; thrusts the palm down until he feels the stick at the newly-devise "rescue stick." The victim is slowly drawn in, and after going through the exorcism common to swimmers, minds breath out to utter some words, so foreign to the girl of the gay '90s but rather professional, the swimming instructor delivers a short but forceful dissertation upon the utterance of her name, while the swimming class is in session. After several such lessons, however, the newly-elect to the aquatic realm is thoroughly initiated into the trials and tribulations of swimming to initiate the life of the seas, but still he continues to face the abuses. And thus we learn to swim.

Argentine Delegate Denounces Proposed Pan-American Union Refusal to Sign Is Result of Alleged Over-High Tariff Barriers It was the essence of the sovereignty of a nation, Hughes said, that it should have the control of its taxation. [United Press] Havana, Cuba — 13. Because it contained no clause denouncing alleged over-high tariff barriers, Dr. Honorio Pucreyredon, chief Argentine delegate (today declared he would not sign a proposed Pan-American Union agreement) Puyretron made his announcements a few minutes after the Pan-American Union of the Pan-American conference in Washington, and was presumably to the constitution, and was considering a marigraph concerning a constitution ratification by the republic. Charles Evans Hughes, a writer, made an answer to Puyretron. A clause such as the Argentine delegated desire would invite destruction of the Pan-American Union and its allies, although that could not possibly be solved. Hughes pointed out that Mexico Chili and Salvador as well as other Pan-American countries had trade re-orders similar to those of the United States. Christian Life Discussed Church Should Be Organization Away From World Speaking at the morning service of the First Presbyterian church yesterdays, he said the importance of ontology and assistant dian of the College, told what he wanted to choose and to refuse in his career. He pointed to the direction Dean D. M. Swarthout gave an anthem, "Sing Allellia Forth," which Kathryn Langmaide, a31, sang Doctor Lawson recalled how Moses by faith refused to be called the son of Pharaon's daughter and chose rather to suffer affliction because of his own reproof of Christ of greater riches than the treasure of Egypt. Doctor Lawson then told some things which he himself wanted to refuse. He said he wanted to refuse popular standards for life unless they were right; to refuse to allow; to state his own opinion; to re-constrict about his reputation, but rather to be concerned about what he really is. In outlining four things which he wanted to choose and which he wanted to work with, all he wanted to show all he wanted to choose to be a good workman, since work is one of God's wonderful gifts to make him become the kind of folks He wants to show. "With all its shortcomings, the church of Christ is the one of all organizations who work for off, but here." The church ought to be a place away from the racket of the world where we can come with a spirit of worship to our community. Five lithographs by Bierg Sanden have been framed and hung in the library of the Spooner-Taylor museum, "and" Dry Creek. "are pictures of western Kansas.

Hoover Confirms Entry Into Fight for Presidency (United Press) Secretary of Commerce Pledges to Continue Present Policy If Elected Washington, Feb. 13. The campaign for the Republican presidential nominee is coming up today by the announcement of Secretary of Commerce, Hubert Hoover The announcement came as a challenge to Senator Frank B. Williams, who has sought to be Ohio's favorite son of Republican governor and a bitter battle for that key state. If Elected Wills immediately served notice upon Hoover that the contest for the Odele delegates would be no child's play. He said that as yet he had not had time to analyze the statement but that "Mr. Hoover will know after the primary whether he acted wisely or against the few friends he had in Ohio." Hover wrote a letter to Col. Thad Brown of Columbus authorizing entry of his name in the Ohio primary; cautioning against excessive campaign expenditures and pleading continuity with the war. They were elected party standard bearer. Fight With Willis Seen The method of Hoover's announcement gave an impression of the battle that is to come. Several weeks ago Willis announced he would seek Ohio's delegation. His friends said they were excited about a convention similar to that which resulted in 1920 in the unexpected nomination of Warren G. Harding of Ohio. At that time Hoover's friends were to Willis and asked him to agree to naming Hoover as Ohio's choice. Willis was the only selection of any second choice and that his delegates must meld themselves to him from start to finish. Chet Shore Gets Title of Business Manager Hoover's Ohio supporters resisted Wilts' stand, and last week organized at Columbus to request Hoover to run against Wilts in his state. Brown was selected to present the nomination, and answered it by formally announcing himself to be in the running for the residential candidacy. Survey Data Is Compiled Eldridge's Pamphlet Discusses College Textbooks Chet Shore has been given about every famous title on the campus at some time or another, but his most recent success is "Business manager," a role he has held since 2014 to cover. A letter arrived at the postoffice addressed: Business Manager, Lawrence, Kansas. Rack his brain as he might, the postman could think of no one who might be business managers. But Chet, for once, he was wrong. "The Textbook in College Education" is the title of a new pamphlet published by Prof. Seba Eldridge of the department of sociology. It is being sent out to college professors all over the United States with a video link and an online interest on the problem of the college textbook as a teaching device. For three years Professor Eldridge has been conducting an extensive survey among college professors by sending out leaflets which advect a new culture to the present college to the present college textbooks is that they are generally lacking in "human interest." They present facts, laws, principles, theories, and formulae, but they make no attempt to stimulate students in the form of the things which they treat. In his pamphlet he says, "A number of correspondents believed that it is undesirable to take student interests into account very much, if at all. The tendency of the age is to put the student in a position to correspond, said Professor Eldridge's idea "smacked of a painless system of education." Professor Eklridge's idea for a new type of textbook is one which would appeal to the interests of the students and teachers, but it was discussed with students' own experiences and problems. This type of textbook would lead the student to investigate specific topics. Between two and three thousand teachers were invited to comment on Professor Eldridge's ideas. His new book is a summary of all their comments. Upon opening the letter, he found it was important news from the Kansai's advertising representative in the city, which reached the office in the nick of time.

Hell Week Ended by Act of Men's Fraternal Groups Resolution of Pan-Hellenic Conference Is to Be Considered by Each House The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote. It is necessary to have the resolution voted upon by the active chapter of each fraternity benefitting from the Council for final ratification. Each chapter is to vote on the resolution this evening and the result given to Raymond Nichols, president of the University Council, so it can be brought up at the council meeting Wednesday evening. Hell Week is a thing of the past as far as the national social fraternities on Mt. Oread are concerned, if the resolution adopted yesterday at the meeting of the Men's Pan-Hellenic Conference was approved, and each organization will and allow each organization a three day period for pre-initiation ceremonies with all night activities being confined to their respective properties is approved by a majority vote and this action meets with the approval of the Men's Student Council. Night Prowling Prohibited The resolution as adopted by the conference is; "Resolved that Holt Week be abolished and that each fraternity be allowed to have a three day pre-initiation period in which all members shall be confined to the respective premises." The entire matter of Hell Week was discussed at the meeting and it was agreed that all members of the fraternity promises should be done away with. It was agreed that the practice of sending plaques to the fraternity members at night was very dangerous, due to the risk in their being mistaken for a member and that this should be discontinued. Name Is Misleading The conference also feels that the name Hall Week was very misleading and much of the feeling against the old fashioned week was years ago the sororites here abolished the old fashioned Hall Week period and substituted one or more days of the week for their probation. As this has worked no successively with the sororities, fraternity representatives feel, if could operate with them and it is worthy try, It has been pointed out that much of the ill feeling against the old faithJOlled Helf Week has been due to the gardes and the cardigs to the event. Most people think that it is a period when the pledge is physically and mentally tortured, subjected to inhuman devices, and subjected to unnecessary stress; they have not attempted to torture their pledges and the worst treatment they have had to undergo has the loss of sleep. At least this was the opinion representative. It is believed that the action of the Conference will be accepted by the individual chapters and the Men's Student Council. Cripples to Compete in Race on Crutches For the glory of winning a Valentine number of the Sour Owl, two cripples, S. Cameron, c'12, and Bafour S.
