Nicket Scalping May
Defeat True Purpose
of Enterprise Books
Students Now Enjoy Lowes Price in Country for Such Events
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 11, 1925
The frequent irregularities in the "scaling" of tickets to athletic events obtained by means of the student activity books are liable to materially affect the sale of the activity books next year. That is the opinion of some members of the student activity book committee, and the director of athletics of the University of Chicago may be made is not known.
Dr. F. C. Allon, in speaking of the ticket scalping, said he believed that the book is not really a student account because he has not yet received the purpose intended. The student, on learning that he is unable to attend the game, will go to the place of the event, and sell a ticket that would pay for his $10 per person for $1, thus cheating the athletic association out of a cash sale. It is the belief of Doctor Allen that irregularities of this kind cost the university $50,000 each game. He pointed out that the penalty for scalping at the University of Illinois and other such schools is a blackhat, withholding information from attending athletic events.
Walter M. Herzog, of the University of Kansas auditing bureau, says that the tickets exchanged for activity book stubs should be distinguished from those sold at the regular cash price, by plainly marking them with a dollar sign. This would prevent others from buying them at a profit to the seller.
According to Dean John R. Dyer, the students of the University of Kansas enjoy the lowest prices in the country for athletic events and sports affairs, but the privilege is now threatened by the practice of scapling.

Three times as many drivers art taking part in the new "race of envy" as were in the first.
The serum is hours ahead of the schedule maintained by many of these same drivers two weeks ago.
Oskar Hagen to Lecture
The epidemic itself is being gradually controlled. No new cases have been reported, but the new serum will be welcomed by Dr. Curtis Welch because of the added security it will give the physician and his nurses should the disease be reluctant to live upon the settlement. Capt. J.J. Palmer has detailed his flight here upon advice from None which and the epidemic is not now sufficiently serious to hazard an air trip.
Wisconsin Professor Will Speak on Modern Stagecraft
Oskar Hagen, formerly professor of history of art at the University of Göttingen and at present a professor at the University of Wisconsin will lecture in central Administration building on Feb. 17 at 4:30 p.m. The subject of his lecture will be "Modern Stagercraft and Its Antecedents." a course in the courses at both the universities when he has been a faculty member.
Horger Haen make a special study of the history of art, literature and related subjects at the University of Berlin and later at the University of Munchen where he received his Ph.D. in Munchen and also at the University Handel's operas which had previously been lost and has also written many books on different methods of the study of art. Four of these books have gone through three editions in America, having been translated from the German in which they were originally published. He is appointed Carl Schurz Memorial professor at the University of Wisconsin, last semester, but is on a lecture tour at the present time in which he will cover the entire United States at widely separated points. He will return to Germany in the latter part of March when he has completed his
The lecture here will be of partici- far value to students in five art, pubi- ciate speaking and all those who have studied the development of the stage.

receipts for Varsity Dances Show Increase During First Semester
"More persons are attending the variatis, this year than last," said Vernon Kenney, manager of the varity dances, today.
Many Organizations Benefitted by Party Profits, Says
Vern Kenney
This is shown by a comparison of the receipts and disbursements of the variates last years with those of the first semester this year. The present dancing season has brought in a total of $4,025, which falls short of the receipts for the entire season last year by only $1,174.
While the aggregate receipts have increased, the comparative expenses have also increased; however, the increase has not been in proportion. This shows that the sacries are not more interesting than the chestras, punch, and decoration, all of which go to make the dances more interesting and enjoyable for the students, according to Kenney. The variances which were given the first semester cost $2346. Last year the cost was $1986 for the two semester costs $4045.

This was anticipated early 'toby by drill running ahead of the diggers to deep them informed of the conditions they must meet.
It was found that the older of banks oil gas, which was so strong in the bottom of the shaft last night emitted a thick gas that could be seen side wall. The gas is being used in an effort to find a second and rear entrance to Collins' cell. This and the presence of cave criers in the dirt from the wells lead to hopes of Collins' immediate release.
Inquiry be conducted into rumors that Collin' effeminate is a grand boxx staged for purposes of publicity was to be resumed today.
"I was threatened with death when I tried later to enter the cave," Miller said.

Doctor Edinston said that the diphenicil patient *c* improved this condition more than most patients had eight unnounced over thirty, the reason of the examination being to discover and reobtain cases of the drug. If a patient has two occurrences "we cannot practically well who never the drug carry the disease germ in their throat and cared the diazepam."

Modern Students Should Know Bible, Says Doctor Curry

End of Biblical Institute to Help Young People Study Problems Together
Doctor Curry has for the past 17 years been working in different colleges and universities from coast to coast. He comes to the University not to lecture primarily but to lead the students in studying the problems of life together. Doctor Curry is a highly qualified American student has caused him to have a greater confidence and faith in them.
The afternoon meeting was opened to discussion by Doctor Curry. He asked questions of the students and as they were answered he explained them 13 examples drawn on the blackboard. Everyone was drawn into the discussion and was impressed by the straightforward manners and explained many things that have not been clearly understood before.
"Too many people have been trying to know merely the facts of the Bible, instead of realizing they seem in relation to life and law. Many have built up their own Jesus instead of the historical Jesus," and Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. said more practical and view the Bible in relation to their own lives.
"The aim of the institute," said Doctor Curry, "is to teach students how to study and really understand the Bible so as to find what contributions the teachings of Jesus have made to our lives today."
A supper was held for the registered members of the institute followed by the evening session, in which students show the students of the University how to lead discussion groups and be able to use principles and motives from the Bible to throw light on which the students encounter today.
"American students are too commemorate," said Bruce Curry, speaker at the M. Y. C. A. noodley luncheon, today. "We do not take the same measure as we did in the problems that conflict in as do the students in foreign countries." Mr. Curry spoke to about a hundred and fifty persons at the luncheon, but he did not attend at which he will appear during the week, on the subject "Are We living by Footnotes?" He outlined the new student movement which is beginning to be felt in this country and some of the other European countries.
"The desire in most of the young people of today is to find something that will put a kick into life. Let us not try to eliminate this desire, but we must allow it about times and we will make more progress than ever before."
"The movement is to a large extent an outgrowth of the war," said Dennis feel that something must be done to correct or remove some of the old institutions and establish a new institution with which they are in sympathy.
"The mutual distrust between youth and the older generation has handicapped us all along. What youth wants is someone to accompany us instead of someone standing on a ladder, or even climbing up there. There is a crusade and there is no way to dodge it. If you don't get in with both feet you are a detercer. Do away with the old things that are fanning and choking you and slide in the old system so gradually that you never disturb those who oppose you."
