"When Greek meets Greek," says an old proverb, "there is sure to be a worthwhile scrap." Likewise we may expect some excitement when K. u. Law meets K. u. Law, but if present indications are correct and Ed. Little, 83, and C. B. Johnson, 62, appear for congressman of the Second District the double application of the proverb will bear watching.
Little for Congress Might Go Two Ways
Graduates of the K. U. law school are likely to be opposing candidates in at least two congressional districts of the state in the coming months. In the past, Little is in Congress at the present time and is out for re-election. C. B. Little of Olathe has been proposed as the Democratic candidate. In the Third District W. H. Stroud of Odina, '94, will run for re-election. Dr. Charles Stephens, '93, of Columbus, will probably be the Democratic choice.
R. C. Moore Announces Plans for Surveying Resources of Kansa
State and Federal Geological Survey Will Co-operate in Investigations
Plans for co-operation of the Federal Geological Survey with that of the State of Kansas in making certain surveys of oil and gas resources of the state were announced today by R. C. Moore, head of the University's department of geology, after cooperation with officials of the federal survey in Washington.
Since withdrawal of funds for the Kansas Geological Survey, a number of years ago, the University has been doing what it could with a limited budget in investigating natural resources of the state. Justice Moore is secured by Doctor Moore adds materials to the funds available.
As soon as weather permits, one or two agents of the Survey will be put into the field in central and western Kansas to make a detailed study of the surface soil composition to oil fields, and search will be made for oil resources. Other investigations will trace westward some of the geological formations, outcropping areas, and which examination of specimens from the drilling at points farther west.
K. U. "Kids" Desert Movies for Coasting
"We hope, after a few months, to be able to give the people of Kansas a tentative report, but winter weather and the details of getting the work under way will make it impossible to have any information available in the near future," said Doctor Moore.
"Cmon, gang, let's go coasting!"
"What is that they did, the students of the University made 'kids' again by the sight of the snow which fell Friday afternoon. The conventional way to themselves into hilarious coasting parties. Each of the approaches to the "hill" became the scens of a miniature winter carnival. The slope above Potter Lake made an ideal spot to jump - if one did not mind an unexpected bump from hitting a hidden stone.
C. T. Elvey
Sleds were not easy to find, but would-be coasters were resourcel. One group of sorority girls, using the same slider, laughed at each slide on the unguidable little substitutes. A few were fortunate enough to have youthful friends in the town and borrowed a several sizes too small, but still sleds.
On Fourteenth street neither slobs, coasters, nor serving trays were needed to appreciate the slick, gloss surface of the sidewalk. Soon after the door opened, the wall was filled of more than a hundred and fifty congregated at the foot of the hill and "laughed themselves sick" at the antes executed by the foot coasters as they entered the street. The pavement and skidded across the street in the most undignified fashion.
Until late at the air rang with Joyous whoops and laughter. The students of the University had turned in cash and were out playing in the snow.
The Graduate Club picture will be taken Thursday at 12:30 at the Lawrence studio.
Bok Peace Award Provokes Thought, Says Dean Brandt
Student Ballot on Winning Plan Is Light; More Voting Expected Today
"The Bok peace award is a challenge to the American people to think," said Dean Brandt this morning in regard to the Bok peace plan. The voting on the plan up to this morning has been light. A great many of the students have not yet met the deadline, but it is expected by those in charge that a heavy ballot will be cast this afternoon.
"I do not say that the Bok plan is the plan to adopt, but there is anything more desirable and important in a new country than the mess of war?" asked Dean Brandt.
Thought Forms Public Opinion
The fact was emphasized by the dean that each student should think hard, not take the opinions of others for his own without first carefully considering them, nor should he let the press dictate what he should think.
It was further stated by Dean Brandt that when a nation or a group of students starts thinking seriously in regard to a particular topic, public opinion begins to form. This public opinion, when it becomes intense, changes or makes itself clear. The trouble is to overcome the inertia of the individual or group and set them thinking.
Politics Blunts Thought
"Let's think a thing through before we form our opinion," said Dan Foskett. "We must thoroughly understand the other fellow's viewpoint. We must place ourselves in his shoes and view the question from his standpoint. Then we are ready to form our own opinion."
"It is too bad that politics has been interjected into the peace question and the settlement of international questions for this reason," Dean Brandt added. "If a man's party is to certain a plan, as a rule that man's mind is closed to that question and he stops thinking."
Oread on Sale Thursday
Story of Adventure in Pullman Car Features Issue

Resodding Will Improve Stadium Field Drainage
"There is no field in the Missouri Valley to compare with it, although Nebraska is now constructing a new stadium and field which will probably rival it closely," said Alan J. Davison, cararetaker of the Athletic field, when speaking of the stadium ground on what he worked at work since shortly after the close of the football season.
About 800 cubic yards of dirt have been used on the field in filling in the low places and raising the center, thus giving the surface an oval shape and greatly improving the drainage. Approximately two-thirds of the field has been resolved. This work was carried out heavily by Thirty or forty wagonloads of sod remain to be laid and under favorable conditions two or three weeks will be required to 'pish the work.'

Romantic Tale Comes to Disappointing End
A woman in the University recently bought a fine piece of Chinese skinned cover with what were prescient dressers, who told a very romantic tale.
After the dress was made, some question arose in the mind of the purchaser as to the meaning of the letters. She had informed her most constant date of the romantic Chinese tale that was written on her gown, and they decided to have the figures on the dress deciphered.
A journey was made to the Chinese laundry down on Vermont street one night when the moon was full and hearts were beating fast. After several knocks on the door, the confiding couple were received and invited in.
The big moment had come. They were to be told what secret tale the beautiful piece of silk told. The Chinaman was taken, and his name printed on prince letters. After carefully scrutinizing the figures on the dress and cogitating over the question, he made his decision: "I says nothing; just claxty marks."²
It ruined the whole evening.
