No Reason Given When Moten Fails to Keep Contract
Soph Hop Managers Unable to Trace Phone Calls From Missing Orchestra
The failure of the Moton orchestra in the 1970s on there being no Seoul Hot Fri night Hop will probably be held sometime in the near future in connection with the band.
Benny Moten's Victor Recording orchestra of Kansas City, has been under written contract for about two months for their appearance here last night. The contract was confirmed Friday. A long distance telephone to the players' music company in Kansas City, of which Mr. Moten is part owner.
Unable to Reach Moten
Until late Saturday all efforts of the managers of the Hop, Bob Borh, c300 and Bill Coleer, c200 get in touch with the orchestra had been unsuccessful. The managers were unable to offer any reasons as to why the orchestra should have been successful.
The managers also wish to thank the students for their co-operation in the preliminary plans which were approved. We wish to express our regret that so many students should have been disappointed over the failure of the Hop. We had the orchestra under written contract account for their failure to arrive."
Decorated With Icicles
At 9 p.m. in Friday night at the F.A., U. a, hall, all was in readiness for what was expected to be one of the biggest parties of the year. The hall closed at 10 p.m. by a local representative of the Democratic party shop in Chicago.
Shortly after 9 o'clock couples began arriving and shortly after this there arrived a flock of reports as to who had the telephone. Over the telephone, someone represented himself as being Mr. Moten, reported that members of the orchestra were there, but would soon arrive. Later the orchestra was reported by the same person to be in town to verify these messages failed, but they caused sufficient doubt in the minds of the managers to prevent the securing of a substitution order.
**Contract May Cover Costs**
When all efforts to locate the orchestra up to 11 p. m. had failed, the dance was called off and money was

Dawson, men's student adviser at the University, stated yesterday that a teacher should be bound into with the orchestra should be binding and should cover the losses entailed by the management. Professor Walt Karpelman, at F.A. U. Hall Friday night, and, being familiar with all the circumstances, I would like to say that the managers did not need to insure the success of the dance."

Action of Students Travelling to Kansas City on Bus Shows Days of Gallantry Aren't Over
Who says, there is no gullantry among the students? Yes. The reader Rachel was living now, the famous cloak episode would seem insignificant to her, and with the daily good deeds of students.
Several convincing examples of this spirit of helpfulness were evident in Lawrence and Kansas. The bus was loaded to capacity, even to the compact row of camp stalks between the two buildings, outside of Lawrence, and seemed very distressed when the driver told her would have to wait for the next bus.
"Wait, she can have a place. I'll stand up," a gallant boy volunteered. The driver shrugged his shoulders good naturedly, and permitted the girl to enter. The boy laughingly answered questions put to him relating experiences at the top of bus, and evidently enjoyed doing the good turn.
Girls Courteous Also
Just a short distance down the road a woman holding a small child by the hand, signaled to the bus driver. Stopping, he informed her that he was on his way home and she was perfectly willing for her to get on if she could find a place to sit.
"We can double up," a girl offered; so the woman climbed into the bus. A

At Tonganoxie a student who was travelling alone told her bus companion, a member of the football team that she had a violent headache, and he very kindly offered to go for some headache tablets; and, refuted this, he simply glad when she if he would mind bringing for a glass of water.
"Anything to help," he assured her as he hurried into the bus station.

Change Is Recommended Class Parties to Be Combined With Varsity Hereafter
Class parties have passed from the past to the future. In the future all class parties will be bined with variety dances and the variety for the particular week and abolished.
The change was recommended by the Men's Student Council before the Christmas holidays and approved by the W. E. G. A., at the regular meeting Tuesday night. Rules for the party-variety will be drawn up by the social committees of the two councils by the opening of the second semester
Hope of eliminating the uncertainty of financial success of class parties was the big reason for the change, but it has also contributed to combined party will allow for a reduced admission price, better management, and perhaps a closed date for graduation.
Five classes in elementary geology from the Kansas City Junior College visited the Dyche Museum yesterday, where he presented a lecture to the group. A short lecture was given on prehistoric animals by E. E. Marshall, A. B. 21), who is teaching geoglyphs. Later Mr. Marshall took some of the students to Haworth hall where he explained the selamograph and told about some of the fossils and minerals.
"The effort will be made to hold the party on Friday nights," Tom McMullen said. "Younger, stated this morning. 'Both councils hope to continue this tradition.'"
The Soph Hop which was scheduled Friday night was not held when the orchestra failed to appear.

Plans for Science Building Finished Inside of Month
Construction to Begin Soon After Completion of Plans and Letting of Contract
Final plans for the new Snow Hall may be completed within a month, it was indicated Saturday by Dr. H. Lano, head of the department of Zoology at the University, to preliminary plans for the building, which were accepted last month. Bids for construction of it will probably be announced as soon as the plan are approved.
The new hall will be across the drive, west of the Administration building, facing Oread avenue. It occupies a building on Oread and a 40-foot floor on the drive, thus giving it the appearance of one of the largest buildings on the campus. Actually, however, the building will be only 45 feet
The structure will be four stories high, in addition to a basement and attic, both of which will be finished with stone. The rooms'ments to be situated in the new building. The first floor will probably have balconies but since the building extends over the edge of the Hill toward Potter lake, little excavation will be necessa-
The departments of bacteriology, botany,虫学 and entomology will be moved into the new building upon its completion. The department of zoology will use the first floor for research facilities. There is an installation for an animal room.
To Be Four Stories High
The departments of entomology and botany will have the second and third floor of the department of bacteriology will use the fourth floor for classes and the attic or an animal room and saeroor室 with a number of dormer windows.
Each department is to submit detailed plans for the floor to be used by it and these will be used by the state architecture, Charles D. Cuthbert, in drawing up the final specifications. It was pointed out that this method required two separate quarters especially for its problems and laboratory equipment.
All departments, except bacteriology, have completed their plans and forwarded them to the state architect's office.
Work is in progress, under the direction of Supt. C. G. Bayles of the department of buildings and grounds, to determine the depth to sink the foundations and the amount of excavation which will be done. The ground will be set back 45 feet from Oread avenue and an equal distance from the Administration drive.

Moten's Non-Appearance Makes Soph Hop a Flop
For weeks we had anticipated the Soph Hop. For weeks we had patiently awaited the big night. For several successive times we had turned to the soph hop and we and so amid frill and ruffle we were anxious for the appointed time.
Twas the night of the hop. We rusted our feet to be able to walk across a steep slope and wore our new flower. We drove to F. A. U. hall. It looked beautiful, it had many windows and seaward girdle windows that fur coat cues for drift. The stage was white with circles, which had frozen on frosted trees, and we looked in among the foggy clouds.
We were informed that the orchestra a famous one from Kansas City, had not arrived. Accordingly, we explored the anteroons, we talked to our musicians, and gave game of thumb movements. Drop the handkerchief was suggested, but it met with little approval, because of the strenuous exercise in the game. Simon says thumbs up received a few votes, but still we hoped for vantage points. An hour after we were still saving it, and so far, far, into the night——
University's Heat and Light Comes from One of Busiest "Buzziest" Places on Campus
Have you ever visited the Universit
power plant? It is located just back of
the Fowler ships and it is one of
the earliest, "buzziest," places you
have been.
It is so "buzzy" with the hum of the machinery and the roar of the fire that you can hardly make yourself think, to say nothing about making yourself hear or heard. So if you seek information from any of the men in your office, oblige you by stepping outside so that you can hear what he says.
Two University trucks, each carry a truck, move the inventory, burying oil from down town to the University storage tanks, one of which holds $8,000 gallons, and the other holding $25,000 gallons.
Is it any wonder that the trucks are kept busy, when you consider that 10,000 gallons of oil are consumed every hour and light the University buildings?
It is interesting to know that when the oil comes, it is so heavy that it will hardly pour. It can be to heated four different times until it reaches 160

A Baby Grand Mummy
Rests in Eternal Sleep
The mummy of one of the greatest-great-grandfathers of baby grandma, Josephine Schoenberg, is in one of the alveos in the second floor of Spooner-Thayer museum. Some of its strings are here, some in a linen case and others its outer coverage of varnished wood is peeling off. That its sacred form be not crushed to dust a sign is overlaid on it.
So we didn't. We just clasped our hands behind our back and looked. And this is what we saw:
We bent over and looked at the name plate. It says "John Broadwood and Sons, makers for His Majesty and the Queen." So nobility comes in. We wonder, did this old piano ever live in a palace?

Between the two places, London and Charleston, was an ocean many times as wide in old times as it is today.

Persuade, even now, in the stillness of the midnight hour, thin eery ghosts float above us; but the boat press down on its keys to the tune of "Old Lang Syne." Who knows?

The reporter remarked that the room containing the boilers was about not enough to cook anyone alive, but the engineer said that it wouldn't bad the boilers and that they were portable on these cold days. The engineer further remarked that during the summer when about 3,000 gallons of oil are burned daily to furnish the electrical power for the University building, they should be about the closest place on the Hill.

Kansas Triumphs Over Washington in Scrappy Game
Regular Battle Ends in Tie 26-26 But Kansas Five Forges Ahead in Extra Time
Fighting, scrapping and driving against the Washington backstayers last night just as Coach Allen expected his pony express would do, the Jayhawkers won the second contest to Missouri Valley season, 29 to 26, but Missouri an extra two-five minutes was played. The game ended in a tie, 25 to 26.
Jeffrey and Thomas
Playing the stl.. . . . .
It was Harold "Dutch" Hauer, who started the scoring for the Kansas with a long shot from the side and it was this same center who made throw during the extra period to put Kansas in the lead and give it the victory.
"Ball" Jeffrey occupies the same position as does Thomson, with his speedy floorwork and close guarding. Three times he took the ball the full length of the court with lightning-like speed and be and McGuire drove the ball through Washington's first defense time after time with terrific force.
Hauser, Schmidt and Thomson on offense during the first half were passing and dribbling through the Wash. It was their speedy floorwork and correct use of fundamentals in passing, giving that enabled them to get through.
"Pony Express" Broken Un"
Couch Allen had a hard time fill- ing his backpack. He land and Gassell were used during the second period. All of them showed much fight, but none worked in with Couch. He was not a good fighter.
Poly Express 'broken Up'
This "pony express" combination was broken up, however, near the end of his career out of because of his knee, the same knee he injured in football and which has bothered him for two years.
McGuire, appearing for the first time in a Kansas game, worked well as Jeffrey's running mate on defense and it was the hard fighting of these players in the first half that kept the Bears from capping but one field goal.
The game was roughly played, both by the players and by the session of the ball long enough to get it near the goal. Schmidt, Hasse and Joffery were all on the floor at the start of the game.
Meyers Is Washington Star
Meyer did the best work for the visitors, caging four field goals and six three-point shots in the contest. It was his long shots during the last part of the second half that kept the score tied. After tying it with a two-run shot from another long shot and followed with two free tosses to tie it again at 26 to 26. Thomson scored the late field corner to bring the Kansas score to 34-25.
Coach Allen has much faith in his short men this year, who, contrary to his policy, he must use, for the lack of bigger men who are playing well. After the show last night, however, the five known as the "pony express" against the Missouri quartet here next Tuesday night.
The new $35,000 auditorium was filled last night with the exception of a few back seats in the second balcony. Cheering and pep was pitched to a high degree during most of the last 15 minutes of play.
Other Missouri Valley results last night were: Oklahoma, 40; Grimellin, 21; and Oklahoma A. and M. 30; Drake, 25.
