The University Commons was closed from Thursday night to Monday morning, during which time the woodwork of the interior was varnished. During enrollment, the Commons tried out a new plan of serving sandwiches, coffee and cocoa for the students who were waiting to enroll. Due to some misunderstanding, this was not advertised as much as was intended, and there was no chance to happen. Those who knew about it expressed their hearty approval of the plan and were desirous of seeing it continued. Just before vacation, Chancellor Lindley sent out to the students a leaflet telling about the Commons, its purpose and advantage. The Commons has been doing as well as can be expected, according to Miss Burum, manager of the Commons. The food is balanced, and the膳食 tends to eat too much starry foods, such as potatoes and bread. Commons will be closed from day afternoon until Sunday forronce, no Saturday supper or Sunday breakfast being served. The schedule of meals for the week is: Breakfast, 7:30-9:30 o'clock, week days; 8:00-9:00 o'clock Saturdays; Dinner, 11:30-1:00 o'clock week days; 12:00-1:00 o'clock Saturdays; 12:15-1:30 o'clock Sundays; Supper, 5:30-6:30 o'clock week days; 5:30-6:30 o'clock Sundays.

Stubbs today announced that he expected to announce himself as the Republican nominee for Kansas in nomining election. where is nothing I can say about governorship," Governor Allen said when questioned about his conference with Ex-Governor Stubbs. No Carnegie Medal For This Bold Hero Mount Oread, once a calm and peaceable abuse of learning, has become a hot-bed of anarchy and destruction—at least one student of our university thought he was beerked from a rather quiet school life into adventures hitherto recorded only in fiction. Hence the tale: While passing Green Hall late yesterday afternoon, he was alarmed to hear a shot ring from within the building. Hearing other shots and desirabs of being of assistance, he rushed within and down into the Little Theatre from which source the dots seemed to emanate. Imagine his surprise to see David Sheffrey and Lathrop Read in the midst of a vicious gun combat. Dumultess he hurried himself between the pair, anxious that human life should not be ruthlessly destroyed. He was well intentioned young man was apprised that it was not the desire of Professor MacMurry to have any interruptions in the rehearsals of The Big Idea and that his presence would not be required until February 8 at which time the entire cast will have perfected their parts, belligerent and otherwise. However one student is here to say that when it comes to realism, this show is going to win the "liquid pedestal."

"The intervention of quiz week has rather retained the advance seat sale, but the sales have already gone beyond all expectations," said. Gard. "However, there are still some good seats soft for those who fail to take advantage of the mid-order sale. Next friday morning the tickets which have not been sold will be put on sale at the box office of the Bowers-Simpson venue, it is expected that the house will soon be sold out after the remaining seats are thrown open to the public." The "Big Idea" is the first all-University play to be given this year. Several well-known K. U. dramatists have leading parts. Margaret Matthews, David Sheffield, "Slick" Haines—all popular players in University dramatics—have been given roles in the "Big Idea" that show their ability to the best advantage, according to those who have witnessed the re-releases of the play by no means unknown in dramatic circles on the Hill, complete the cast. "The cast is rounding into shape in great shape," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, coach of the play." "The Big Idea" promises to be one of the best local productions in the history of the University. Dramatic art critics will be surprised at the wonderful ability shown by the K. U. director; the entire production awaits a professionalism from start to finish." Two sets of stage scenery will be used in the play, Gard announced. The Dramatic Club is buying new sets of parteries furniture for use in "the Belt Hole" from the proceeds of the best all-University production of the year. "All those who intend to purchase their tickets had better get their reservations early," said Gard.

It only takes a few minutes to cut off those beautiful brown or golden locks, but it takes many weary and thirsty months of training that are able to again twist them high. Aren't you afraid too, that you may be prevented from winning a five or ten dollar gold piece all because you no longer have long shining curls? Do you know that in several schools "curl content" are now the rage? Many of them are wearing curlers and are wishing they had waited another day before they visited the barber. Those who were convinced that they would not look good with bobbed locks, are happy now. They are carefully curling their long tresses for only a few weeks ago a certain instructor in their school offered a prize, to be rate in the spring, to the seazer of the most beautiful and longest curls. Who can tell when one of our faculty members, ill-disposed towards bobbed haired damensa in the class before him, will offer such a prize here at K. U? Don't be alarmed if some morning announcement or an announcement to the effect that Professor So-and-So will award a fifty or hundred dollar prize to the possessor of the most beautiful head of brown curls; for the fall is cap and some of the faculty, at least, are—well pretty much disgraced.

C. man, amateur; champion lightweight boxer of the world and "Dutty" defensive School will have a battle royal, and there will be other boats by students on the hill. 'O PROBE THEATRE DISASTER Federal Government to Investigate Cause Thoroughly Washington, Jan. 31.—All the powers of the federal government will be exercised to probe the Knickerbocker Saturday night, it was learned today. If the investigation shows faulty or cheap construction and lax building inspection, those responsible will be charged with criminal negligence and prosecuted vigorously. Attorney General Daugherty has determined. Police today claimed that a careful check had decreased the death list to 95; that several errors and duplications had been found. Other deaths are expected in hospitals today, even if the 148 injured are still in *hospitals*. Six of the best army and navy construction engineers will investigate the construction of the theatre for the department of justice and will report to a grand jury which has already started its investigation. Reports are current that concrete in the roof and walls was in a crumbling state and that reinforcement was wearing. The flags of the city were at half mast today in token of mourning. Churches prepared for memorial services. Poodle Allison Recovering "Pooled" Allison is getting along nicely, is the latest report from Stormont Hospital in Touka. Although he is not able to eat much he is improving as much as could be expected after the severe injuries incurred in an automobile accident several weeks ago. Friends who have seen him recently say that "Pooleds" will be in the hospital for the next three weeks. KANSAS LOSES TO THE K.C.A.C. Jayhawkner Quintet is Nosed Out 32 to 34 in the Last Minute of Play by the Blue Diamonds GAME IS HARD FOUGHT The Excellent Playing of the Crimson and Blue Aggregation was a Surprise to Sport Followers Outplayed in team work and floor play after the first five minutes, the K. C. A. C. basketball five DeBernardier over the jayhawker team 34 to 52 in Convenience Center and gave him hairstored hairecens and captain literally tossed his team to victory and was the main factor in both the defense and offense of the Kansas City five. The Blue Diamonds got away to a good start and ran up a substantial gain to win the game. However, after the Kansas men grew accustomed to the floor, they gradually cut down the K. C. A. C. lead and with a minute and a half yet to play in the final period, Coach Allen's men moved out into a one-point lead. A foul on a Kansas player rattled the coach, but it followed this up with a field goal just before the final whistle. The play of the Kansas team in the final period was a surprise to the Kansas City sport followers. Before the game the Blue Diamond supporters were offering odds that Couch Ashley's men would win by twenty percent, but the players played when it looked as though Kansas would nose out with a victory, the Kansas City followers received the surprise of their life. The Kansas men played well both on the defense and offense. They had little trouble in breaking through the K. C. A. C. defense. Black and Endacott both played a good game at guard. To Endacott fell the task of keeping down the renamed Singer and he performed it nibly. Singer led his team from the field goals field was lucky to garner eight points for his team last evening. But then he had never met Endacot on the floor before. Coach Allen started a different line-up last evening than at other times this season. Bowman appeared in Woestemeyer's place at forward. And Bowman proved himself worthy of his place. His floor work was phenomenal and he played the game with all he had. The fact that Bowman, weighing only one hundred and twenty six, was the only man taken out on four fools attests to the vigor with which he played. Fredericks played practically all the game, taking Wulf's place during the first half. Fredericks displayed more ability than at any other team, and we had great good shots, making one basket from a position deep in foreign territory. This is the second non-conference game which the Kansas five has played. The Jayhawkers won from Minnesota carey in the season and fell last night before the Blue Diamonds by a narrow margin. These two games were no closer to decreitio to the basketball ability of Missouri Valley teams. More than four thousand attended the game in Convention Hall last evening, Loslie Edmonds of Ottawa refered. K. C. A, C-34 G. F.
