New Dorm To House 25
Predicts Decreased Enrollment
A decrease in enrollment for the spring semester from the record of 4,610 students who enrolled in September for the fall semester, was predicted this afternoon by Raymond Nichols, executive secretary.
The decrease, Mr. Nichols said, was normal, since enrollment for the spring semester invariably drops due, he said, to three reasons:
1) Completion of requirements for degrees.
2) Students who flunk out.
3) Financial difficulties.
The University business office today set Feb. 14 as the deadline for fee payments. However, the office allows an additional five days after that, during which a fine of 50 cents a day is assessed for late payment.
Total enrollment figures last year were 4,579, with an influx of 255 new students at the beginning of the spring semester for 1938-39. Mr. Nichols said the official enrollment figures for the second semester would not be available until March 1.
No estimate of the number of students who already had enrolled was made by faculty members at the enrollment floor.
Late enrollments for students unable to enroll yesterday or today may be made Friday, it was said. Psychological examinations for new students also will be held Friday. Physical examinations of all new students were scheduled to be completed this afternoon at Watkins Memorial hospital.
Subscriptions For New Kansan Now Being Taken
Today's Kansan marks the opening of a new semester and the first issue of a new, departmentalized publication. For this semester, the Kansan will be published in the afternoon daily except Monday and Saturday and will be regularly an eight-page tabloid in form.
Weather
Students who wish to renew subscriptions or start subscriptions to the Kansan should make arrangements at once since regular publication begins with today's edition. Subscribe at the Kansan business office in the Journalism building.
Tomorrow: Fair and not much change in temperature. Maximum will probably be about 35 degrees.
Sour Owl Gives Men The Bird
Dressed in a heavy black cover to brave wintry weather, the Sour Owl emerges from hibernation tomorrow to give men's dancing manners the merry ha, ha.
An article satirizing the suggestions of Emily Post and "Manners Make Men" is presented under the title, "Dancetiquette." The new issue also contains a treatise of the evolution of humor, a glamor girl photo, two full-page cartoons and the usual party pictures.
Preyer To Hear Work In N.Y.
For several days preceding the concert, Professor Preyer will coach George Trovillo, pianist who is to play the composition. Trovillo received the degree of bachelor of music from the School of Fine Arts in 1935 and is now engaged in advanced study in New York.
Carl A. Preyer, professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts, arrived in New York City early this week, where on Sunday his recently composed piano sonata will be played as a highlight of a program in Herbert Hadley hall.
The National Federation of Music clubs last year awarded first national prize to Preyer's composition and Sunday's presentation is under the auspices of the American Association of Composers and Conductors. Lucile Wagner, who received the degree of bachelor of music here in 1938, played the sonata with what Dean D. M. Swarthout described as "fine success" at the annual convention of the Music Teachers National Association in Kansas City on Dec. 29.
Professor Preyer and his wife will return to Lawrence Feb. 13.
Issue Warrant For Robert Palmer
County attorney Milton P. Beach said today a warrant had been issued for Robert N. Palmer, gr., charging possession of liquor.
Beach said he believed Palmer was out of town. Mrs. Palmer, who has indicated she would waive preliminary hearing and stand trial in district court, said her husband was in New Orleans attending the Mardi Gras.
Palmer's wife, Mrs. Wilma Palmer, who was arrested Friday on charges of possession of liquor, was scheduled to have a preliminary hearing tomorrow in the court of Robert Oyler, justice of the peace.
Lawrence police officers made the raid Friday on the Palmer apartment, 1231 Kentucky street, and arrested Mrs. Palmer. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment and was released on $250 bond.
Palmer was graduated from the University in 1938 and spent a year teaching. He returned this fall to the University to take graduate work. Mrs. Palmer, a University alumna in the class of 1937, earned her college expenses by working at Watson library and at other jobs. The Palmer's are parents of a 15-month-old-child.
Kinney Volunteers To Aid In Salvaging Gold Leaf
Snow Dust Hides Truck-distance in back of the snow plow. They did not see the truck because of the flying snow from the plow. The truck sideswiped the left side of the passenger car. The car was wrecked beyond repair while the front of the truck was smashed.
Three Students Injured In Collision Saturday
E. D. Kinney, associate professor of metallurgical engineering, has offered his services in the problem of saving the gold, present as gold leaf, used for decorative purposes on the walls of the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City. Professor Kinney believes that there would be considerable gold per ton in the wall material salvaged and it could be readily recovered by smelting or by the cyanide process.
Flying powder snow thrown up by a snow plow obscured an oncoming truck and caused the collision which injured three University students at 10:30 Saturday morning near Nortonville.
Leslie Rieger, b'40, driver of the Chevrolet coach, was accompanied by his room-mate, Charles Nice, m'43, and Rosalys McCreyer, fa'41. Miss McCreery and Nice are in the Watkins Memorial hospital and Rieger is at his home in Fairview.
Nice related that they were driving at a moderate speed a short
Immediately after the wreck the three students were picked up by another car and taken to a Nortonville doctor.
Rieger received a cut on his chin. Miss McCreary has a broken tooth and a black eye. Five stitches were taken in Nice's upper lip,
Old Chancellor's Home Made Unit Of Housing Plan
Men students will live in University dormitories for the first time next fall with the announcement today by Chancellor Malott that the home of Dr. E. H. Lindley when he was Chancellor will be operated as the second unit of a housing program with Brynwood Place.
Forums Board Presents Movies
The first of a series of motion picture showings sponsored by the Student Forums board was presented twice in Fraser theater today before small audiences.
Shown today was a comedy series featuring Buster Keaton including "Dream of a Rarebit Fiend," "High and Dizzy," and "The Navigator."
All films used in the Forums board showings are to be taken from the Modern Film art library which is deposited at the University and distributed by the bureau of visual instruction. Following is the schedule for future presentations:
Feb. 20: "March of the Movies," 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.
March 5: "Birth of a Nation," 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.
April 2: Comedies: "The Doctor's Secret," "Gertie the Dinosaur," "His Bittler Pill," "The Freshman" with Harold Lloyd, "Sex Life of the Polyp" with Robert Benchley, and "The Skeleton Dance" a Walt Disney cartoon, at 2:30 and 7:30 pm April 18: "Documentaries, and

Nash To Teach Reading Course
A three hour course in the improvement of reading habits will be held this semester, under the direction of Bert A. Nash, professor of education.
The course has been conducted for the past two spring semesters and although it carries no credit, 120 students have enrolled each semester.
The class will meet three times a week for 15 weeks. Nine graduate students who have been working on reading projects will aid in the work.
suggested several names for membership to the Chancellor's office for approval. He said the committee's first meeting probably would be Thursday.
The former Chancellor's residence, located at 1345 Louisiana street, for 50 years has been the property of the University. This year it is rented to a group of men students who operate it cooperatively. It will house 25 students.
Brynwood Place, recently purchased for the Endowment association by alumni contributions, will accommodate 40 men. Standing just across Fourteenth street from the old Chancellor's home, Brynwood is to be connected to University utility lines and tunnels in the near future.
Men who will live in the two University housing projects will be selected on a basis of need and scholarship by the faculty committee on aids and awards. Meals for the entire 65 will be served at the dining hall in Brynwood.
Student Musicians May Get Award
Entries in a student composer's contest which will award a $720 fellowship will be received until May 1, according to a preliminary announcement received by Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts and Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic art.
The contest is sponsored by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers and is open to graduate or undergraduate composers of musical plays.
Purpose of the competition is to afford encouragement and stimulus to the development of creative talent, particularly in the composition of musical comedies, operas, operettas, light operas, and musical reviews.
The preliminary announcement did not name judges for the contest. Future announcements are expected to give this information and to give instructions for the contest entries.

Cokeless Varsity Opens Social Season
Collegians Get Color In Their Clothes
Although they will not admit it most men, and especially college men, are interested in clothes and fashions. They may not be able to tell you what length skirts are this year but they are quick to discuss collar and shirt styles.
Secretly all men love color and the college man is the least adverse to it. This year he is able to wear it to his heart's content in his socks, muffler, and mittens.
Most seaviles are soft woolly ones in the brightest of colors. Maroon, navy blue, and black have been replaced by bright yellow, powder blue, scarlet, green and tan. They may be solid colors or plaids and checks equally bright and warm.
According to the college man, the louder the socks the better. Plains and horizontal stripes are the favorites. Reds, yellows, whites and brown lead the plaid field while horizontal stripes come in different colors and the width of the stripe is a matter of personal opinion.
Stripes have crept into sport coats. Most of the new jackets are of shetland with a light basic background and the stripes are in shades of brown, blue, and gray, with some maroon and olive green. The coats, longer than last year's styles, are single breasted, three button models.
The corduroy or khaki hat is sweeping campuses all over the country. First seen in New Haven and Princeton, it has become such a favorite that women, attracted by its usefulness, are taking it up and it is predicted that they will soon be seen on as many co-eds as Joe Colleges. The new hats come in many colors and are worn in various ways.
The new fad for spring will be checks. Starting with the two tone check and the hound's tooth design in sports jackets, they are fast reaching out into scarves, mittens, socks, shirts, ties, and such accessories as belts and suspenders. Checks will come in all colors, but red and blue have the at lead at present.
All in all, it looks like a bright spring for the masculine side of the college population.
No Tuition For Exchange Students
Foreign students who attend the University or any Kansas school will be exempted from payment of semester fees according to a Board of Regents ruling which goes into effect for the first time this semester.
The Regents recently made this ruling with the proviso that a Kansas student be allowed to enroll in the corresponding foreign university with no tuition.
In case a Kansas student does not take advantage of the fee-free foreign education, however, the Regents ruled, it will not affect the exempt given to the foreign students here.
First Lady at Premiere
S. O. B.
Guest of honor at the world's premiere of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," held at Washington, was Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, seen here with Raymond Massey, star of the Gordon-Goetz production adapted from Robert Sherwood's Pulitzer Prize play. The initial performance was for the benefit of the Newspaper Women's Club of Washington, and was attended by a distinguished official and diplomatic audience.
Seventy-Five Enroll In 'The Motion Picture'
More than 75 students had enrolled in the new motion picture course offered for the first time this semester at noon today. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, who will teach the course, expected nearly 100 by the end of enrollment this afternoon.
The course in which the films will be studied as an industry, a social force, and an art form, has been a pet desire of Professor Crafton for several years. Unexpectedly, his recent proposal for the class met with no opposition.
Fifteen movies will be shown during the term, according to Crafton. He will lead off with March of the
The remainder of the semester's work will include studies of foreign films, the great "Greed" of the 1820's, talkies, animated cartoons, and news reels.
Movies, a general survey. To show the development of the narrative film, six short films will be shown. This line of work will be completed with a showing and study of "Birth of a Nation."
Outstanding among films to be shown are: the uncensored "Love Parade" of 10 years ago; the crest of gang wave pictures, "Public Enemy No. 1," starring Jimmy Cagney; and Noel Coward's "Cavalcade."
Force Follows Prepaganda
Editor, Daily Kansan;
Having failed to bludgeon the brains of the students with their war propaganda, the reactionaries are now ready to call out the marines.
That is the meaning of the assault which has been launched against the American Student Union following the stand for peace it took at its recent convention.
fighting for "light and democracy," to condemn the steps of the Administration in destroying American neutrality and dragging the country into war, and to refuse to be rushed into joining the war hysteria being whipped up against the Soviet Union.
The "crime" committed by the A. S.U. convention was to refuse to accept Chamberlain's word that he is
Because the American student does not want to die in the trenches for imperialist greed, he is branded a "foreign agent." Because he has learned of the treachery of Woodrow Wilson, he is called a "Communist."

Play Loses Its 'Fanny' Third Time
That old adage of the stage "But the show must go on" rang over Fraser theater last night as the announcement was made that one of the members of the new Dramatic Club play was out of the cast. Rosalys McCreery, fa'41, was injured in an automobile accident last Saturday and will not be able to continue practice with the show.
This is the third time that the role of "Fanny" in the James Barrie play, "Quality Street," has been cast only to have something happen to the actress. Ineligibilities caused the previous casualties.

Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
A study in contrast: The coaching situations at Kansas State and St. Benedicts. At Manhattan, grid professors Wes Fry and Stan Williamson have been at each others throats—secretly most of last fall and openly for three weeks now—but the Raven coaches, Marty Peters and Don Elser, are enacting a modern dramatization of Damon and Pythias. Whereas the Wildcat duo flew off the handle and turned in their resignations, Peters stepped down from his head football position to accept the assistant coaching job under Elser, who was promoted from Peter's first loeye to his boss.
The Atchison pair came to the Raven campus after brilliant careers at Notre Dame, Elser a football and track star and Peters a standout cager. It has been said that when they arrived at St. Benedicts they flipped a coin to see who would be called head coach. Since then they have been almost co-coaches in football and basketball.
Another study in contrast is the Iowa State scoring before and after the Big Six basketball race started early last month. The "before" picture showed a Cyclone team rolling along with a 53-point per game average and Gordon Nichols, Bob Harris, and Al Budolphson all hitting at a better than 10-point clip. Since then they have been able to average but 26 points a contest and their leading scorer is Bob Menze with a puny 4.75 mark.
Five of the outstanding Jay hawker basketball players have followed family footsteps to Mt. Oread . . . Bob Allen's father is the coach and was a star player also some 30 years ago. Brother Milton played on the Kansas teams of '35 and '36. Ralph Miller's father attended the University and his uncle was a basketball player of note . . . Don Ebling's brother Ray was an all-American basketball player here and has the best example of them all . . . John Kline is the third member of his family to seek an education at the University. However, his two brothers who preceded him did not compete in athletics. . . . Bruce Voran had a sister and brother in school before him. His brother was a track man.
Coach Bill Hargiss had a star junior college shot putter who you would all know lined up for competition this semester, but the deal fizzled. Now that weight-tossers Bill Bunsen and Jim Holloway are ineligible it looks like the husky track mentor will have to throw the 16-pound agate himself. . . Manhattan students staged a big demonstration demanding a new fieldhouse between halfs of the Missouri-Kansas State game last night. . . The Wildcats have only one conference game left at home, that with the Jayhawkers Feb. 20. . . Iowa State has four left at Ames and if Coach Louis Menze gets his charges re-charged, the Cyclones might chalk up a couple of wins after all.

Manhattan, Feb. 6.-Missouri and Oklahoma are back in a two-way tie for the Big Six lead today after the Tigers trounced Kansas State, 44 to 28, here last night.
The victory was Missouri's second on its three-day road trip which saw them nose out Nebraska, 41 to 40, Saturday night. Both wins were needed to keep pace with Oklahoma and ahead of third place Kansas.
Nash Paces Bengals
The Tigers displayed another diversified attack, with seven players scoring two or more goals. Martin Nash, the crooked-armed little guard, looped in 10 points to pace the Tigers, and Blaine Currence was second with 8.
The Wildcats' Jack Horacek and Christ Langwardt tied the Missouri leaders in the scoring department, but the rest of the team was held well in check as Missouri took an early lead and coasted ahead at will.
Robertson on Sidelines
There will be no change in the Big Six standings until Friday night when Oklahoma and Nebraska play at Norman and Kansas State and Iowa State tangle at Ames. Missouri will meet Washington at Columbia in a non-conference game the same night for the only other game this week. The box score:
Kansas State was without the services of Joe Robertson, senior forward, who sat on the sidelines with a chipped ankle bone. Ervin Reid, star center, saw only limited action because of a shoulder injury.

Do Bacilli Curl When Students Kiss?
University students are not likely to let the advices of learned doctors sway them from any amorous paths into which they may have fallen. Those who kiss only as an experiment or those who kiss for reasons of wider scope will have little interest in what medical authorities have to say on the matter.
The issue between Dr. Simon L. Katzoff, San Francisco physician, and Dr. J. F. Hammond, assistant editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, therefore holds little interest for college students the country over. Dr. Katzoff recently advocated a diet of soulful kisses as an aid to physical (if not moral) purification, for as he told University of California students, kisses traded with enough fervor will kill influenza germs. He added that use of lipstick is a further deterrent to the spread of cold bugs.
Dr. Hammond immediately threw cold water on Katzoff's theory when he announced that there is no medical justification for the belief that the heat of kissing will direct Cupid's arrows at influenza bacilli. Hammond further disagreed with Katzoff's statement that lipstick aids as a preventive of contagion.
But students who kiss are not likely to raise their heads long enough to listen to the debate. For students who kiss are primarily interested in kissing for kissing's sake alone.
--either indicate several more weeks of wintry winds and low temperatures. Many of an iconoclastic nature will disregard the warning of the groundhog, but only the foolhardy will allow a day or two of respite from freezing temperatures tempt him into doffing the heavy coat and ski suit. The way of the cynic is hard indeed.
Columnist Lippman Versus Democracy
When Walter Lippman wrote in his column recently that democracies are lacking in moral energy and steeped in materialism, it was only another outburst on the columnist's part, another vain attempt to impress the American people with a line of war ballyhoo.
For Lippman is beginning to realize that the country is at long last awakening, sensing a repetition of what it heard once before, back in 1917. Lippman knows now that the American people can no longer be bullied into believing something high sounding and idealistic.
Thus failing to impress the nation any longer, the columnist is beginning to have his doubts about democracy itself as a political system. His statement that "democracies . . . lack moral energy because they are enervated by materialism, distracted by petty matters, intoxicated by words, softened by a false sense of security and disposed to shut their eyes to dangers that are not yet close at hand and immediately present" shows that Lippman is seriously considering junking democracy as an obstacle in the path of world-imperialist war.
After all, what good is democracy if it cannot be used to deceive the people? The so-called "war for democracy" is the deadliest enemy there can be of whatever democracy is still left for the people.

Mr. Groundhog Went Back to Bed
While the ability of the tiny groundhog to predict accurately the weather has long been debated, it is certain that the sleepy animal which ventured forth last weekend did not find conditions favorable for the heralding of an exceptionally early spring.
Whether one has more faith in the groundhog or in the government weather observer, there can be little doubt that the predictions of

Young Bill White Is No Softy
At the rate he is progressing, W. L. White, the young son of William Allen White, is likely to turn out to be the idol of the American reading public. At the same time, however, he may be exceedingly "persona non grata" with the Hitler regime.
Recently White turned out to be no Sweet William when Nazi guards quizzed him on his present intentions. The Germans, through practice, are masters of the third degree; Bill White, both through practice and inheritance, is master of the spoken and written word. If any person exists in Germany able to match repartee with the Emporia Gazette's offspring, he is probably in a concentration camp for being too smart.
"Maybe it surprises you Americans to see so many German soldiers, no?" asked a pimply-faced sergeant. "It does not surprise me at all to see German soldiers," Young Bill answered. When asked where he had seen so many of the gray-green clad, the pride of Emporia cracked, "After the last war. Then I saw a great many German prisoners surrendered to our American army."
Young Bill is the type of American who should travel abroad. Not for him is that disgusting, superficial, continental air of the transplanted American. He has the down-to-earth quality of the true American who both commands and demands respect. He probably does not desire to antagonize the Nazi powers, but when a flunky sticks his neck out with "Maybe you don't like the regime," you can expect the son of Willia mAllen to say "No, I don't like the regime."

ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
After watching at least a dozen students wander around Robinson gym yesterday as if they were hypnotized, we thought of presenting in this first column detailed instructions on how to enroll. But after talking with several veteran professors and reading the propaganda issued by the University we were still in the dark as to the correct procedure so gave up the idea.
This motion picture course (Speech 57, two hours, Monday and Wednesday, 3:30) was getting the heavy play by enrollees yesterday morning. The Wichita Eagle, however, predicted such a rush some days ago, commenting that another building or two would be needed to accommodate all the applicants.. The procedure of showing the class moving pictures in Fraser theater will have one advantage in that the projector won't have to stop every two minutes to consult its notes or outline.. On the other hand, there probably will be no end of scuffling to get on the back row.
From the events of the past few days, it seems likely that prosperity will return to the 700 block on Massachusetts street.
The Arkansas City policemen, who investigated a report of prowlers near the Catholic church, found a boy and girl wooing on the steps and ordered them to move on. It appears the Ark City Cops haven't heard that the Bible says to love thy neighbor.
The eyes have it.
Dear Sir: Last Saturday as I was walking between Eighth and Ninth on Tennessee I saw the most beautiful eyes ever to grace a female physiognomy. They were of that Heavenly shade that God puts in the sky, and seemed as soft and tender as the first tiny snowflake of winter. I know she was a college girl because she had on a reversible coat, anklets, brown and white saddle shoes and wore a red and blue scarf on her hair. Can you tel me her name? Sincerely Johnnie.
While Tin Pan Alley is still searching for new song ideas somebody might write one entitled "The Little Man Who Doesn't Scare" and dedicate it to Finland.
A veteran gold digger tells us that this discussion of the effects of kissing on bacteria is all the bunk. She says that kissing has got her plenty of gems but no germs.
Sally Rand has applied for a $100,- 000 insurance policy on her feet. That, with the bubbles, should make her virtually impregnable.
The Wyandotte High School Panda graph reports a student won the courtesy award when "seen picking up all the dirty towels that other boys had scattered around the dressing room." After seeing the Wyandette basketball team play Lawrence the other night, we have concluded that the Bulldogs are cleaning up in more ways than one.

YOU SAID IT
Ready and Willing Editor, Daily Kansan;
I appeal to you! What a life! Here is a coed dying to dance (and I do mean dance) and she reads in the Kansan; "Stag line limited to 200."
Does that make sense to you? I am sure there are other coeds in my same fix—sitting home Wednesday nights between 7 and 8 o'clock, envisioning the ballroom at the Memorial Union building, Dale Brodie or Clyde Smith swinging out—and then, "Stag line limited to 200."
WAITING.
What is the matter with these boys?
Surely they must like to dance or they wouldn't go to dances at all.
Why then don't they merely ask a girl to go with them and have some fun? Are they afraid?
Liberty, Equality—and Independence Editor, Daily Kansas:
The ratio of boys to girls on this Hill is two to one, according to the latest report. Shouldn't this scarcity of coeds raise their stock? Or should it? Anyway, carry on, Dale Brodie and Clyde Smith, carry on. I hope those 200 stags enjoy listening to your rhythms while we coeds sit at home twiddling our thumbs.
Who said this was a modern age?
Who has been spreading all this bunk about women's rights? How can anv-
What I want to know is—don't we have as much sense as men? Aren't we just as capable of taking care of ourselves as are the other sex? Of course we are. Otherwise, there'd be a national curfew law to protect all young women in the nation from the boogey man who stalks around after 10:30.
What are closing hours for? Surely not for moral reasons. Because, if so, they don't do any good. If a coed would do anything wrong, she'd have plenty of time and encouragement to do it before 10:30. Besides, prohibition proved that you can't legislate morals. The curfew, furthermore, can't be designed to give us "growing girls" more sleep. Because getting in before 10:30 doesn't mean going to bed at 10:30.
If we go to a middle-of-the-week show, we have to get there promptly at 7 p.m. or be forced to leave before the picture is over in order to make closing hours. If we should want to get a bedtime coke, we have to go to sleep and dream about it.
I think, by gosh, that we ought to have the same privileges as the men. They may be called the stronger sex, but they're no more sensible.
DISGUSTED (not dumb) DORA.

On the Shin By Reginald Buxton
After the "final" battle was over and the smoke had cleared away, last Wednesday night found—Phi Delt Stanley Parr leaving his coat at Millers and returning to find it being worn by Kappa Jean Egbert . . . Kappa Sig Bill Southern running the cash register at the same place . . . those two Billies, McIntire and Bunsen, back together again . . . confirmed rumors that Wayne Wilson, football center, would be back in school after a semester's leave of absence . . . Marian Springer, "Spring-time" to those who know her, not being very excited about Wilson's return. . . Alpha Chi Sue Johnson picking up 10 hours of "A" and dropping Medic John Crary.
And then there's the fellow who heard Agnes Mumert's name mentioned in a conversation concerning an exhibition of "nudes" in Spooner-Tayer and about broke his inquisitive neck getting over there only to find that the beautiful one had sat for a very modest portrait.
More about phobias—We have it on good authority that Sigma Chi Jack Nelson while a man among men and women is a veritable sissy left by himself. Left by himself he was between semesters and Jack is a lad who can live alone and not like it at all. He gets to seeing things. In other words, Jack gets scared, just like we do when we are the only souls left in a house as big as the Sigma Chi mansion.
Buddy Blake, former manager of pocket-size dance bands, is back in school raring to furnish entertainment for the multitudes and jobs for jobless musicians. Oldsters will remember "Buddy" as the owner of the five units of "Ambassadors of Rhythm" that played in and about Lawrence back in 1935-36-37. His system is to get the bands jobs, write the music, and fill in where needed with everything from the piccolo to the piano and collect a percentage from the boys.
Plans to pep up the Varsities this spring with cokes a la cabaret style fell through last night when Fred Littoy had the brain storm spiked by powerful objections based on the belief that drinking cokes at the tables in the ballroom would encourage profligacy along the lines of smoking, "bottling," and spending money.
Only yesterday did a school authority find out that cokes are often mixed with liquids other than those which meet the eye in the fountain pumps. It seems perfectly logical that by abolishing cokes we remedy a distressing situation that exists on the campus. Chief draw-back to the solution is that it might lead to the banning of milk because we have known some crazy galoots who worked up a good daze by mixing gasoline with milk.
Another step towards a men's dormitory was made yesterday. Some unknown philanthropist dropped a nickle in the Endowment association box outside the Chancellor's office.
Aviation gasoline differs from ordinary gasoline chiefly in having a higher octane rating and lower vapor pressure.
Universities Offer Grad Scholarships
Cornell University and the University of North Carolina have announced scholarships available to graduate students of engineering and educational schools.
For students desiring to become candidates for advanced degrees in the engineering division of the Graduate School, Cornell offers several fellowships. Applications should be directed to Dean S. C. Hollister of the College of Engineering, Cornell University.
The University of North Carolina offers several fellowships to graduate students majoring in education.
University Prof and Grad Win State Art Honors
Cash prizes were awarded yesterday to two Kansas artists, Glenn Golton of Wichita and Karl Mattern of Lawrence, at a banquet of the Kansas Federation of Arts and Kansas State Art Teachers' association in Topeka.
Golton, who attended the University in 1915 and 1916, won the first prize of $200 for his painting, "Stubborn Horse," and Mattern, assistant professor of drawing and painting at the University, received the second prize of $225 for his "Snow on the Corn."

Major Eliot To Discuss U.S. Defense
Problems of national defense and implications of the war in Europe will be in for a frankly presented review when Major George Fielding Eliot comes to the University as a lecture course presentation on Feb. 29 in Hoch auditorium.
Experienced in matters of military nature, Major Eliot has written a popular discussion of defense problems. "The Ramparts We Watch." He has also written numerous magazine articles including a report for the Foreign Policy Association, "Military Consequences of Munich."
Major Eliot was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and educated in both this country and Australia. During the World War he served with the Australian Imperial Force and by 1922 was engaged in United States intelligence work, on active duty at Fort Leavenworth. Since the outbreak of the present European war, Major Eliot has become increasingly popular as a commentator on military problems.
Questions to be answered by the military commentator included those of the possibility of American entrance into the war, the need of a large standing army, the safety from attack of the country, the vulnerability of the Panama canal, and the problem presented by Japanese influence. Major Eliot has recently written articles for such magazines as Current History, Harpers and the Saturday Evening Post. He recently served as commentator in a movie short dealing with the comparative strength of the Maginot and Seigfried lines, discussing the possibilities of an immediate attack on these barriers by either side.
Debate Tonight In Green Hall
The Little Theatre of Green hall will be the scene of a debate tonight at 9 o'clock when Marquette university vies with Kansas on the Pl Kappa Delta question: "Resolved, that the United States should adopt a policy of complete economic and military isolation." Mac Wynne, c'40, and Irving Kuraner, c'40, will represent the University on the affirmative side.
Earlier in the evening the two schools will debate at Haskell Institute online on the question "Resolved, that the federal government should own and operate the railroads." The debate is scheduled for 7:30, with David Rice, c'41, and Leo Rhodes, b'40, taking the affirmative for Kansas.
Karl Klooz Asks Stray Book Owners To Claim Volumes
In case you didn't know, a lost book is supposed to be turned in to Karl Klooz, bursar, at the business office.
Then, by the same formula, if you have lost a book, you should look for it at the business office.
If this procedure is followed it will not only benefit book losers but Mr. Klooz as well. He now has a stack of unclaimed books in his office that is always in the way and he says he would like to have someone come after them.
Work Bureau Places 153 Men
Marvin Goebel, secretary in the student employment bureau announced today that 153 men have received permanent placements through his office. There are 627 registered for employment many of whom have odd jobs.
One unusual request is for an oriental houseboy. Goebel has been unable to fulfill that request.
Students wishing work, Goebel said, merely register at his office in room 2 Frank Strong hall. Employers, knowing they can get in contact with student workers through the bureau, call there when they have titles.
Business Students To Hear Lectures
Two series of lectures, designed primarily for students in the School of Business and department of economics, but open to the general public, were announced today by Dean Frank T. Stockton of the School of Business.
Each series will include five lectures, one of which will be delivered each week.
Thomas Burcht, chief underwriter of the Federal Housing Administration, Topeka, will conduct the first series, which is scheduled to begin Feb. 14, and John Griest, also of Topeka, an investment counsellor, will deliver the second series.

NOTICE
All students enrolled in flight training are urged to leave their new semester's schedules at Prof. Earl D. Hay's office before Friday evening. These schedules are necessary in order to make out new flight plans for the new semester.
Weather report: Increasing cloudiness and colder today and tomorrow.
The ballet company, originally scheduled as an extra attraction on the course, was selected to replace the concert appearance of Walter Geiseking on March 4. Mr. Geiseking, noted German pianist, canceled his lengthy tour of this country after it became evident that the tightly-drawn British blockade would prevent his passage.
The San Francisco opera ballet will come to the University Feb. 26 as the fifth of this year's concert course series, Dean D. M. Swarthout, director of the course, announced today.
The San Francisco dancing group began its annual tour following the close of the regular opera season there last November. The touring company of interpretative dancers includes all of the principal artists appearing in the regular opera season with the company.
Dean D. M. Swarthout pointed out that offering the dancing company as a regular number in the concert series would enable students to see the group as a part of activity book admissions. Persons holding tickets for the Geiseking concert would be admitted by them to the ballet concert.
Clyde Smith and his orchestra will play for the Midweek tonight in the Memorial Union Ballroom, Leo Johnstone, chairman of the Student Union Activities Commission, said. The usual limit of 200 stags will be enforced.

"Republican Possibilities for President" will be the topic of next Thursday's broadcast. A discussion of "Democratic Possibilities for President" will follow Feb. 23.
All broadcasts will be organized upon a theme of better citizenship, Professor Buehler said.
A meeting for all students who have been invited to participate in the broadcasts has been scheduled for 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Students interested in appearing on the discussion programs, but who have not been invited to the meeting, were asked to see Mr. Buehler before the meeting.
Thayer Shows Eastwood Exhibit
A collection of paintings by Raymond J. Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting, is on exhibition this month in Spooner-Thayer museum.
The collection consists of five figure studies and a group of landscapes, among which are his well-known studies of Cape Cod sand dunes. Most of these landscapes were painted by Professor Eastwood last summer.
Beach said this afternoon when told of Palmer's arrest that both Mr. and Mrs. Palmer would face preliminary hearings in Judge Robert Oyler's court in the next few days.
A warrant was issued yesterday for the arrest of Palmer who was in New Orleans attending the Mardi Gras festivities. Palmer was out of town when police officers raided his home finding 51 bottles of liquor. Mrs. Palmer pleaded not guilty at her arraignment and was released on $250 bond.

Pi K.A.'s Plan Party For Friday
Pledges of Pi Kappa Alpha have been scouring the city the last few days for old cardboard and signs for the chapter's Twelfth Street Party which is held with Dale Brodie and his band Friday.
Running short of cardboard yesterday the boys asked Eddie Penchard of Bricks for the loan of the signs that are in the basement room where Hill politicians often meet. Penchard agreed until it was discovered that the signs made up the wall of the room.
At the present the sun porch of the house is well covered with the cardboard which makes a blackout. Other features of the party are signs, altered and unaltered; silhouettes of the boys and their dates; the Twelfth Street Rag, newspaper for the party; painted designs for wall decorations; and a typical night spot that one might find on Twelfth street in Kansas City.

The Coed's Fancy Turns To Spring --- And Clothes
The weather may be cold and windy but that doesn't mean that spring isn't just around the corner as any co-ed can tell by looking at the fashion magazines and stores. The designers those powers that be, have already determined what the smartly turned young woman shall wear.
They have taken the war seriously and the military influence can be seen in the new tight fitting spring coats with epaulettes on the shoulders and huge patch pockets, a direct steal from the French military officers.
Brightness can be introduced into drab winter frocks and suits by the restrained use of vivid colors in the form of belts, bags, gloves, and necklaces.
Patch pockets aren't limited to coats, however. They are found on every type of dress, from the date dress to the tailored school skirt. On many skirts they are attached to the belt by loops.
While it is still cold enough for fur coats, a taste of spring can be obtained in the smart pastel wool dresses worn under the coats with turbans in matching or contrasting colors. The colors are the same as the ones worn last year but they appear under new descriptive titles, such as blue haze, which is a misty grey blue, and hot pink, a vivid rose. Royal blue is now known as blue streak and foam green is a soft shade of green.
Gabardine seems to be the most promising fabric for the beloved shirtwist dresses, skirts and shirts. According to those in the know, no
wardrobe will be complete without at least one gabardine dress in one of the newly named colors which includes a soft shade of tan known as natural.
While it may be sixty outside and too cold to wear the new styles, it is never too cold to think and plan a new spring outfit.

Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
The other day I wants to chew the rag with Bill Hargiss, but hates to hike clear down to the stadium when all of sudden I happens to think of this indoor track the guys have been telling me about ever since I took up residence at the foot of Mt. Oread.
Well, sir, right then and there I decides there's no better time than now to go down and see what kind of a layout Bill's got rigged up for his thinclads. I never took much stock in it anyway. Always fancied that the distance men had to run down to one end and touch a post and come back. Or at best run around a barrel.
So I put a sandwich in my pocket (just in case I gets hungry on the way) and wades down to the horse-shoe. It's nice and warm in the dressing room so I stands around in there for a while then asks, "Where's Bill?" One of the guys sittin' over in a corner takin' too much time laceing his spikes says, "He's under the stadium," and nods toward the door
I wants to ask him "Where do you think we are, in Fraser theater?" but decides against it and buttons up my collar and starts for the door.
Just as I sticks my noggin out Jack O'Hara whizzes by with a vaulting pole and I swears he's going to crack up with a girder when he takes off, but he misses one going up, sails over the bar at about 12 feet, and dodges another concrete rafter coming down.
Then I starts giving the place the once over and it ain't long 'til I finds I had been all wrong about the indoor track. They've got all those big doors insulated and boarded up to keep out the wind and a couple of gas furnaces hanging from the ceiling to take the chill out of the air.
Instead of having to run back and forth down a path, Bill's got a sweet looking 220-yard oval with banked turns at each end and it's plenty wide enough to run four or five abreast. And the ground's not hard like I had expected. There is sawdust all over the floor and it's just right to run on.
They've got the high jumping and broad jumping pits strategically arranged so you can run between posts and have plenty of space to leap.
So after I catches Bill and talks with him for awhile I leaves and decides that this layout is plenty o.k. and there's no reason why they can't hold a meet down there. But I also decides they won't have many spectators because there's only one seat in the house and that's a delapidated folding chair.

Charity Game Billed to Aid Finnish Drive
The Jayhawker basketball team will meet the freshmen in an exhibition game at 7:30 Friday night in Hoch auditorium, it was announced at noon today by Dr. F. C. Allen.
Proceeds of the game will go to the Finnish Relief drive and the National Paralysis fund. Those attending the contest will be asked to contribute 10 cents or more for admission.
Doctor Allen said that the athletic department had been approached by both organizations asking for aid in their drives for donations, and it was decided to use this method to raise the money.
these six hoop-hitters are pacing their teams in the offensive department as the Big Six swings into the last half drive. McNatt of Oklahoma is leading the pack with a 11.7 average in six games, and Bob Allen of the Jayhawkers is runner-up with a 10.25 mark in four games.
This will be the second time this season the varsity and freshman basketball teams have played. On the eve of the Missouri football game last fall, the Jayhawkers trounced the yearlings, 44 to 22.
Jack Horacek, K-State. 6.2
Doctor Allen was glad to get to play the game as his team has not seen action since Jan. 23 when the Jayhawkers defeated Nebraska here, 40 to 24. The next regularly scheduled game is not until next Monday when Iowa State comes to town for its first game this year with Kansas.

'Flu' May Keep Mesch Out of Oklahoma Lineup
Norman, Okla. Feb. 7-Although Capt. Marvin Mesch will probably still be out of action because of influenza, the Oklahoma basketball team hopes for a hotter night at the hoop when it plays Nebraska here Friday evening than it enjoyed against the hard-guarding Kansas State Wildcats here last week-end.
Drake's Oklahomans have also done some atrocious free throw shooting in their last two games. Although they set a Big Six record by banging in ten out of ten for 1,000 percent against Iowa State here Jan. 20, they hit only 5 of 12 against Missouri at Columbia and 4 of 14 against Kansas State here last Friday.
The Sooners were frigid shot-makers against Kansas State, hitting only 25.4 percent of their field goals. Forward Jimmy McNatt, usually an accurate marksmans, was coldest of all, connecting on only five of 22 field goal attempts.

Third Place Jayhawkers 'Team to Beat'
Oklahoma and Missouri may be leading the Big Six, but as has been the case in basketball for as long as the oldest student can remember, Kansas is still "the team to beat."
The Jayhawks are riding along in third place and are still in the thick of the battle. The 46-26 trouncing Kansas handed Oklahoma earlier in the season gives Dr. F. C. Allen's team considerable confidence.
In 1922 Dr. Allen's Jayhawks tied Missouri for the conference championship. Since then Kansas has been the team to beat every year, save one. In 1929 the Mt. Oread quintet won only two Big Six games, but that is the only season in the last 18 that the cagers from Lawrence have not finished in the first division.
13 Titles in 18 Years
"Beat Kansas" has been the cry through those 18 years as the Jayhawks won or tied for 13 conference championships. The few years that the Allen-coached teams did not win the title, they were in the thick of the fight and had considerable to say about who did win
Last year, Kansas lost the conference crown to Missouri and Oklahoma, but it was not until the Jayhawks had played their last game of the season that they could be counted out of the race.
Since the Big Six conference was established in 1929, Kansas has won more basketball championships than all of the other schools in the league combined.

With all hands safely through the semester exams, the Kansas Pony Express is hard at work preparing for the second half drive in the Big Six basketball race.
Although the Jayhawkers are in third place in the standings behind last year's co-champion Oklahoma and Missouri, they have lost no more games than the leaders. Kansas has played two less games than the defending champs.
The three leaders have taken turn about defeating each other, but no other team in the loop has been able to take their measure. Kansas beat Oklahoma in the season's opener. Then Missouri thumped the Jayhawkers. Later Oklahoma nosed out the Tigers.
The next game on the local slate will be Monday night when Coach Louis Menze brings his Iowa State Cyclones to town seeking their first conference win of the year. This is the only team in the Big Six that Kansas has not met so far.
Exams Easy For Cagers; I-State Next
Seven out of 11 in Big Six
Six times during the 11-year history of the Big Six Kansas has won the cage title and another time tied for it. The other five teams of the conference have four championships and a co-championship to show for the same period.
No other school has won the Big Six title outright more than once. Missouri and Oklahoma have made the best showing, each winning the basketball champion. ip course tying for it once.
Oklahoma won the title in 1929, Kansas' lone bad year, and the following season the Tigers nosed out the Jayhawks for the championship. Last year the Tigers and Sooners finished in a first place deadlock. In 1935 Iowa State won the title, and Nebraska tied with the Jayhawks for the 1937 championship.

Virtue Speaks in Leavenworth
John B. Virtue, assistant professor of English, went to Ft. Leavenworth this morning where he is speaking before the women's club at the post this afternoon on Aldous Huxley, novelist. He will return tonight.
Ellis's crown will fall heir to a worthy successor, however. The four semi-finalists in this weight are Tony Ortego, who bea Ellis; Eli Castro, who cut a Pittsburg boy to pieces last night; Eddie Hudson, a little colored boy with dynamite in his fists; and Dean Murray of Sedalia.

Heavyweight champion in the novice division was Leonard Bernard, big Negro boy who starred on the football and track teams at Htuchinson High School several years ago.
(Continued from page 4) Montavon, 1939 112-pound champion, throw a punch. After one minute of his fight with Joey Lafferty, Montavon ran into a hard right hand thrown by Lafferty and went down for the count. The classy little fighter was really out cold.
Biggest surprise of the night was the defeat in the 118-pound class of Chester Ellis, national champion in his weight last year. The former Haskell boy took off almost 30 pounds in order to fight in the 118-pound class and he didn't have his old time zip last night.

Kansan Comment
Don't Blame The Faculty
An editorial published recently in the Daily Nebraskan, University of Nebraska student paper, unjustifably denounced its own school of journalism and the faculty members therein, demanding a revision of the faculty and a complete reorganization of the school.
The Nebraskan complained that journalism graduates "leave school with little preparation for the practical—only a distorted concept of high idealism, and a knowledge of background with dubious value."
The Nebraska paper recognizes the fact that there are two schools of opinion on the matter of teaching journalism; the one lauds academic preparation, while the other insists that only practical experience in the field is of any use. Noting that although Nebraska educators saw fit to establish a school of journalism at the University, the paper decries the quality of instruction and the courses now offered in that school at present as inviting improvement.
"Nebraska's school of journalism needs . . . faculty members who are decisive, who have stamina, or who have self-discipline—the requisites of any professional man. It is in need of men who know their field and are able to lisseminate that knowledge to others. It needs an attitude that will make students seek advice and interests."
The Nebraskan is mistaken in assuming that the low status which may be held by the school of journalism is primarily a result of poor instruction. When the paper which is published by students of the University of Nebraska complains that, of its staff, only one person is enrolled in the school of journalism, it unjustly lays the blame for this on the faculty members of the school.
Perhaps the Nebraska journalism faculty has failed, in some measure, to motivate students to their best effort and interest. But what of the students themselves? If they have not enough interest in the profession of journalism to prepare themselves for it, to enter into its study wholeheartedly, and to accept instruction in it for its value to them, then not even the best faculty can help them. Education, learning, development, are not dependent only on the tutor. The student must be willing and cooperative.
Classroom teaching, which the Nebraskan represents as having dropped to so low a level, can not fit the student for a journalistic career. It can only aid him in fitting himself for the complex and exacting vocation which journalism has become through the development of its function as chronicler, interpreter, and public leader.
We feel that this war belongs to the big financiers and industrialists. It's their private property and we're not going to trespass on it. It would be interfering with private industry, which, the newspapers say, is illegal.

TVA Project Makes Anglers Happy
When TVA engineers made plans to convert the Tennessee river into large lakes for purposes of developing electrical power, they figured in terms of horsepower, cubic feet, water depth, and the like.
But perhaps most interesting of all statistics regarding the government water project are those reciting the facts that last year more than one million fish were caught in the man made lakes, and that a total of nearly one half million separate trips were made by anglers, thus averaging two fish for each visit.
The figures show the popularity of the newly completed region and its value as a fishing spot. Waltons are flocking to the lakeshores in droves.
"Recreation Development of the Tennessee River System", an official report of the TVA, provides these figures as basis for a plea to Congress that it be allowed to continue its development of outdoor sports. It was pointed out that fishing and other outdoor recreations have "assumed a place beside navigation, flood control, and power as one of the public purposes legitimately served..."
Mr. Roosevelt made good use of the statistics included in the Authority's report when he cited it in discrediting the widespread belief that the TVA's only interest in the project was for electric power.
Mr. Roosevelt, hearty fisherman that he is, is hardly likely to pass up such a good fishing opportunity as this one.

AWAY WITH CURFEW
To the Editor:
After all, by the time a girl gets to the University, she certainly is old enough to have a little sense about governing her own life. She knows whether she should take a date, or study. She knows whether she can stay out till 2 in the morning and still make that 8:30 class. She knows whether being out with this man till 10:00 is going to be more of a threat to her reputation than being out with that one till "all hours."
In support of the letter written you by Disgusted Dora in yesterday's Kansan, I wish to add my feelings to the matter of having 10:30 closing hours.
There is absolutely no sensible reason why University women should be required to be in their rooms earlier than men. As pointed out, if we are going to do anything immoral, we can get the job done and have time to spare before 10:30.
[]
And if a girl doesn't know these things by the time she gets to college, then she certainly will learn her very quickly. Sheltering her after the fashion of the University—making her come home at 10:30—is hardly an intelligent, modern method of teaching her anything about the hard world outside.
It is no concern of the University authorities what a girl does in her
What a bunch of prudish women we will all be if we keep on coming in at 10:30. History (and love) is made at night. Everything goes on at night. It's the only time one has for any relaxation. So why should our recreation time be curtailed just because someone wants to make a good impression on mama and papa and the rest of the voters who pay taxes to support the school?

President Roosevelt's plea to Congress for a loan to Finland for the purpose of purchasing supplies other than actual munitions received the warm sympathy of the people of this country. If for no other reason than that this tiny country has regularly paid its debt to our government when other countries deliberately defaulted, the case of Finland merits warm sympathetic action. She stands out alone as an exceptional case because of this one factor.
But for stilii another reason Finland deserves this monetary aid, which will make possible the purchase of food, clothing and medical

Former Bursar Married 60 Years
Mr. and Mrs. Willis Folks of Chula Vista, Calif. recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary and birthday with a remarriage ceremony and a reception according to a letter received by Karl Klooz, bursar, who worked with Mr. Folks when he was bursar at the University 25 years ago.
The ceremony was held in the First Congregational church on Jan. 29 followed by a reception in the church parlors, and a covered dish dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Folks wore the suit and dress in which they were married in Tolono, Ill., Jan. 29, 1880. Their attendants were also dressed in costumes of the early '80's.
The Folks family moved to Kansas in 1895 where he was in the grain business before coming to the University. Folks is now in the real estate business in Chula Vista.

With hundreds of Russian planes mercilessly bombing its cites, ruthlessly making war on defenseless women and children, the resources of this small nation cannot suffice without help of some kind.
Kremlin masters in Moscow have given an opening which can be legally exploited. They say that they are not making war on Finland, just as the Japanese say they are not making war on China. If our government could lend $25,000,000 to China, then surely it could lend an equal amount to Finland, particularly when this money will go to pay for the succor of women and children driven from their homes by the Russian air attack.

Leaves 40 Below Sweden---improvements—not a war machine. Sweden wants peace as much or more than any other nation, Ingrid will assure you.
Student Comes To Kansas To Wear First Ear Muffs
By Bill Fey, c'41
She saw her first pair of earmuffs this winter. And that's unusual for Ingrid Frestadius, c'sp, comes from a country which is a good many million years nearer the last ice age than Kansas. She has seen temperatures of 40 below—but no earmuffs.
But that isn't all by far. She has been also introduced to her first stocking cap; has, for the first time, seen women parade slacks into a classroom; laughed at a porkle hat saying, "Boys at home would feel conspicuous in that."
A full quarter of the entire Swedish population belongs to co-operative stores. Competing stores must hold their prices down or lose business. The Swedish governmental set-up is a limited monarchy, which, if you know about your governments, requires a king and elected legislative bodies with a few odd ministers thrown in, she said.
Ingrid Freastad writes to Stockholm, about American customs in general, and Hill customs in particular. She is an exchange scholar here to make the most of an American education and adopt a few of our odd customs.
She learns quickly. She can make a coke last as long as any co-ed, now that she has had a semester of practice.
When Ingrid left her native mountains last summer no one thought of war. Now she can think of nothing else. The Swedish newspapers from home are smeared with war news. Her mail is sometimes censored.
"If Sweden were to declare war on Russia, would you have to go home," I asked.
"No. I wouldn't have to go, and my parents would rather have me stay in America." She hesitated.
"But I think I would go home."
This going to school in America is fascinating to Ingrid Freestadius, because she has the inherent faculty of "getting fun out of life." Ingrid enjoys everything she does, and she does plenty. This young lady of the blue eyes and corn-silk hair is a very popular co-ed. She isn't a "foreigner" at all. Only in her acent. She is as much at ease, dresses no differently, and uses collegiate patois as loosely as any girl in any American university.
Although throughout most of its history Sweden has been a belligerent little country, since World War it has put its money into education, public utilities and internal
Ingrid has had formal schooling in Sweden and at Paris University. But her best education is the self-taught kind, picked up in Budapest, and Fort Worth, and Vienna, and Salina, and Berlin, and Kansas City. Her forte is ianguages at which American groans.
"But you don't need to know foreign languages" she will argue. "You can travel from coast to coast and speak English. If I go from Stockholm to Paris, I must know four languages. It is much different over there."
Stockholm has nearly twice the population of Kansas City but is confined to a tenth of the area. Tentory apartment houses solve the space problem and put Mr. Frestadius within 15 minutes walking of his office. Ingrid's father imports iron, sells steel, and, of all things, neckties. He used to be interested in chocolates and gramaphone records.
Confined as they are in the city most of the citizens of Stockholm have summer homes on the archipelago off the eastern coast. A nice arrangement for peace times but disastrous during bombing.
The latest attraction for Inglud has been the Nelson Art gallery in Kansas City. She marvelled at the amount of room they have.
"At the Louvre in Paris the Rem-

Ace Newsman Will Recount Experiences
H. R. Knickerbocker, one of the world's foremost foreign newspaper correspondents who has been on the scene of every international crisis in Europe, Asia, and Africa during the last 15 years, will speak in Hoch auditorium, Wednesday night, Feb.21.
Now roving war correspondent for the International News Service, Knickerbocker is not only a man of many scoops but he also has made predictions on world affairs which have proved accurate time after time. He predicted within a few days when Hitler would move his armies into Poland and he is no optimist about the problem of the United States keeping out of World War II.
Knickerbocker believes that the United States will be dragged into the European conflict sooner or later and he points out that by the United States coming immediately to the aid of the democratic powers, the war would be brought to a swift conclusion saving the lives and resources of millions.
Among the sensational scoops he has scored in the past is included an expose of a plot by Gregory Orloff, former counselor of state of the Russian Empire, to implicate Senators Borah and Norris in a scandal over the recognition of the Soviet Union by the United States. He was also the first reporter to reach the insurgent army after the outbreak of hostilities in Northern Spain. Exactly four years before the Austrian anchluss, Knickerbocker predicted in a dispatch from Eisenerz that Germany wanted and would get Austria.
Parking Regulations On Again Monday
Parking regulations will be strictly enforced again beginning next Monday morning, George Snyder, campus patrolman, announced today.
Fifty-two new jobs have been given to students by the National Youth Administration according to Martha Tillman, executive secretary of the C.S.E.P. office. About 20 more jobs will be available next week as soon as the present applications are completed.
N.Y.A. Employs 52 New Students
The money is on hand because of withdrawn students who held jobs last semester and from the balance not worked out by students on the payroll. Job assignments are being made at the present time and the new people will be at work by the end of the week.

Police Nab Drunken Drivers
The driver's licenses of three University students have been suspended for a period of one year for operating an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, during the last few weeks, it was disclosed by city police today.
The three University suspensions are included in a group of 17 which affect Lawrence drivers, police reported.
The practice of reporting any convictions of driving under the influence of intoxicants to the state police is according to law and is done in every case, police said. The officers reminded students that the driver does not have to be drunk to be picked up and charged.
Markham Begins Vocational Series
W. T. Markham, supervisor of occupational information and guidance of the state board for vocational education, will speak at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on "Some Aids to Vocational Choice," the first of a series of Friday afternoon vocational discussions which the University has arranged to broadcast over KFKU throughout February, March, April and May.
Authorities in various vocational fields will present discussions on architecture, engineering, law, music, teaching, art, medicine, business civil service, aviation social science, home economics and chemistry.

Oyler to Hear Palmer Case On Feb.19
Hearing for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Palmer, who are charged with the possession of liquor, has been set for Feb. 19 at 2 p.m. before Judge Robert Oyler. Palmer, a graduate student of the University, was arrested yesterday and posted a $250 cash bond.
Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are facing charges of possession of liquor since police raided the Palmer apartment last week and found 51 bottles of liquor. Palmer was in New Orleans attending the Mardi Gras at the time of the raid but was arrested yesterday on his return to Lawrence. Mrs Palmer pleaded not guilty at her arraignment and was released on $250 bond.
Judge Oyler said that the minimum penalty for the charged misdemeanor would be $100 and 30 days in jail.
Palmer returned to Lawrence early yesterday morning and was arrested by city police at 1 p.m.
Report Student Tularemia Case
Watkins Memorial hospital authorities yesterday reported that a University student was being treated for tularemia or "rabbit fever." The student was not admitted to the hospital, but is reporting periodically for treatment.
From two to five cases of tularemia have been reported each week for the past month by the Kansas State Board of Health. The disease is usually caused by handling infected rabbits.

Play
The printers being hyper-critical, evidently decided that James M. Barrie named his play, "Quality Street" wrongly. At least when the ducats came back to Don Dixon, assistant instructor in speech and dramatic art, they read "Society Street."
No matter how your ticket reads the play will be the same, that is, it will if their "Fannies" don't play out. Students who haven't taken up their activity books yet may reserve a seat and turn in the stub before seeing the play, Dixon has announced. New enrollees in the University have only to show their blue receipt at the ticket office to receive their tickets

I.S.A. To Elect Prexy At Dance Saturday Night
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Atter a month of stymied attempts to select a new president and a supporting cabinet, the Independent Student Association will complete their much-debated elections Saturday night when members dance in the Memorial Union ballroom.
With the withdrawal of Jim Brockett, c'40, the race for Independent presidency narrows down to Charlotte Steele, c'41, and Bob Mason, c'42.

Rain turning to snow late today. It is expected to be much colder tonight. Tomorrow the forecast is fair and colder.
Independent polls will be open for early balloting from 2 to 5 o'clock Friday afternoon in the basement of Frank Strong hall. I.S.A. members who will not attend the dance Saturday night are expected to cast their ballots at this time. Final opening of the polls will be from 9 to 11 o'clock Saturday night when members dance to Red Blackburn's music in the ballroom. First Note, IA.
First Vote Invalid
First attempt to elect a new president was Jan. 22 when 156 I.S.A. members voted in the basement of Frank Strong hall. The number was short of the constitutionally required 220 and the election was declared invalid.
The Independent Council met on the next two days to declare a new president but was unable to break a deadlock. As a last resort the council decided to stage a new election at their dance in hopes that more members would vote if ballot boxes were placed in the ballroom.
Exam Limited To Upper Classes
Only College juniors and seniors will be eligible to take the English proficiency examinations from now on, the College office announced this afternoon. All candidates for a College degree must pass the examination before taking their last 24 resident hours. Four tests are given each year.

Pan-Hel Air To S.A.E. Dance Friday
Each man will invite three fraternity men to be his guest Friday. Invitations also have been sent to the president of each of the organized houses.
Members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity finally hit upon a method to enable them to repay their social obligations when they planned the Inter-Fraternity dance to be held Friday night in the Memorial Union building.
The idea is a modification of the Nebraska plan. Organizations at Nebraska invite everyone to their parties, but due to the size of the ballroom here, the Sig Alf's have had to limit the guest list.
Clyde Smith and his orchestra will play for the dancers who will be dressed semi-formally. Chaperons for the dance will be Mrs. C. H. Landes; Mrs. Edith Martin; Mrs. Ed Charles; and Mrs. Eva Calks.

Tueses University students will participate in the University of Kansas Roundtable discussion on "What Does Kabus Think About the Reciprocal Trade Question?" over radio station KFKU from 9:30 until 10:00 c'clock tonight.
Students who will participate in the discussion, which is under the auspices of the departments of economics and political science, include Jean Anne Crewford, c'40; Iving Kuraner, c'40; and John David Ramsey, c'40.
Complete Physical Exams Saturday
Physical examinations for new students will be completed at Watkins Memorial hospital from 8 until 12 o'clock Saturday morning. Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said today.
Most of the examinations were completed Monday and Tuesday, and the remainder will be made Saturday for students who enroll late or who were unable to report for the examination earlier in the week.
Richard Walie, e'43, and Albert Kvasnicka, c'43, who underwent major operations at the Watkins Memorial hospital between semesters, showed continued improvement this afternoon, it was said.
The condition of Dalton Stover, c'sp, who was suffering from pneumonia when admitted to the hospital Jan 13, was also said to be improved.
Spring's Acomin' Tra-la! Women's Hats for Spring Are Now Being Shown
Women, young or old, aren't satisfied with the coming of Spring unless they have a new hat. Since Easter will be early this year, the department stores are reminding them of that fact by displaying the latest in feminine headgear in show cases and newspaper advertising.
Spring means soft colors and

flowers, consequently the designers have stolen both, combined them, and made creations that make any co-ed's mouth water.
Flowers have become increasingly prominent. Pink stock flowers against a background of pale blue or small bunches of scarlet roses on black straw show a few of the many uses made of flowers. A great number of the new Easter bonnets will be toques and pill boxes made entirely of flowers in gay color combinations. Some will be adorned with moiré or taffeta ribbons bows and streamers at the back.
Hats, on the whole, this season, are small and eling to the head, either backwards or frontwaves. Escorts will not have to worry about the huge affairs perched at a terrifying angle on their dates' heads and will not have to heave a sigh of relief as the March gales whip around corners.
Right now, if you can't have a small fur toque to match this year's fur coat, try one of the new turbans made of pastel wool jersey to match that new between-semiters wool dress. This season's turbans differ from last summer's simple 'wind it yourself' affairs in that they are elaborately tucked and pleated with huge bows at the front. They can be made of any type of material to match the frock.
If flowers and turbans do not appeal, the ever resourceful manufacturers are offering dark straw sailors and pill boxes or pastel fur felts in the familiar snap brims.
For sheer practicability and smartness, co-eds have taken heed of the new curduroh hats that the men keep for campus wear and are wearing them with their Sloppy Joes and moccasins.
Fraternities May Be On Wane Yale Story Is Example
The system seemed doomed. Another headache to plague the die-hards was the decision by the university to accept the Harkness gift and institute a house plan. In addition, a wave of revolutionary ideology began to spread across the campus. The students, all of a sudden sat up and began to wonder.
At Yale today there are five fraternities that have survived the triple, threat of house plan, insolvency, and idea revolution. These
By Betty Coulson. c'41 The fraternity system is advisable—the fraternity system is not advisable. The debatable subject is ever brought up in colleges and universities in each of the 48 states. Nobody really knows quite what to think. But here are all the facts from Yale.
The fraternity system at Yale in the indulgent and solvent 20's was a powerful force in the social scheme of things all along the hallowed campus. But then came the floundering of Wall Street; young scions had their lavish allowances cut sharply, and several of the houses collapsed from the oppressive weight of top-heavy mortgages.

Frank Opinions on Stag Situation; Other Society
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
The first mid-week of the spring semester was ushered in by Clyde Smith, his orchestra and a large group of students, determined to forget the rigors of final week and to settle down to a hard semester of playing.
The ever present stag line dropped themselves on the pillars and staggled out onto the dance floor. One lad, after the first ten minutes, wistfully said he wished the boys would bring some girls, and not all come stag.
Other comments were, "It's a spectator's sport"; and "Stags are fine if they come to dance and not to watch." One of the post-leaners said "I've leaned on them all and I can't find a single comfortable one."
One frank freshman came out with "I like stags because they help you to mix around," in other owls, they help from getting stuck. Another freshman when asked why he came, said, "Cause I'm one of them."

The mid-semester lull in the world of sports, so far as Mt. Oread is concerned, is just about over. From here on out the athletes and the sports fans will be able to keep themselves quite busy.
Tomorrow night the Jayhawker cagers swing into action for the first time in over two weeks when they play a return game with the freshman team for charity. Saturday the swimmers go to Oklahoma for a tank meet with the Sooner splashers, and at the same time the indoor track team will open its season's competition with Nebraska in a dual meet at Lincoln.
"Off the Hill" things athletic are also picking up this weekend. Tomorrow night Big Six teams will be pitted in three games. Oklahoma vs. Nebraska at Norman; Iowa State vs. Kansas State at Ames; Missouri vs. Washington at Columbia.
Along cauliflower row the fight fans have their choice of following the simon-pures at the Kansas City Golden Gloves tournament, or taking a few minutes off to listen to the heavyweight title scrap between Joe Louis and Arturo Godoy.

Wildcat-Cyclone Wrestling Match Saturday Night
Ames, Iowa, Feb. 8—With a victory over the Big Ten champions under their belts, the Iowa State wrestlers are looking for revenge when they meet Kansas State, the Big Six champion, at Manhattan, Saturday.
The Wildcats defeated the Cyclones by one point last year in their dual meet at Ames, and then went on to win the Big Six championship by a single point from the Cyclones.
The two teams again rank as the strongest in the Big Six, with the Wildcats having the edge in experience. Earlier in the year Kansas State defeated Illinois. The Illini downed the Cyclones at Ames Saturday night. However, the Cyclones bounced back and defeated the strong Indiana team Monday night, so that the Iowa State-Kansas State match will be almost a tossup.
Against Indiana Coach Hugo Otopalik used four sophomores. One of them, Willis Kuhn, won his match, but the others were up against much more experienced foes, and lost by decisions. Jim Wilson, 175-pound sophomore, in his first match of the year, gave a good showing as he went the route against Inman, the Indiana wrestler.
In several of the weights the man to make the trip will be determined by the showing made in practice this week. Otopalik has used Dave Schwitters and Wilson, both sophomores, in the 175-pound division.

Benefit Game Pits Varsity Against Frosh
The varsity and freshman basketball teams were working hard last night for their benefit game in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 tomorrow night. The proceeds will go to the Finnish Relief and the infantile paralysis funds.
It will be the first game for the Kansas varsity in more than two weeks and a half and a good crowd is expected to be on hand to see the Jayhawks return to competition.
An unusual feature of the benefit game is that there will be no fixed charge for a ticket. Everyone must have a ticket and can pay just whatever he desires for it. The officials for the game will donate their services.
May Be Closer
At the start of the season the varsity and freshmen tangled, with a "hot" varsity quintet, coming out on the long end of a 44-22 score. The yearlings are expected to make a much closer game of it Friday.
Norman Sanneman, transfer from Washburn College, paced the freshman attack in the last game and will be counted on strongly again. He is a lanky boy with a good eye for the basket.
Marvin Sollenberger, junior college transfer from Hutchinson, is expected to be the mainspring in the yearling defense. He is a guard of considerable promise.
Other freshmen likely to see considerable action are John Buescher from Beardstown, Ill., Vance Hall from Downs, John Halberg from Kansas City, Mo., Allen Nipper of Topeka, and Earl Bozeman of Nickerson.
With semester examinations concluded, the Jayhawk varsity has been going through hard workouts recently. One quintet that has been used frequently is composed of Ralph Miller and Howard Engleman, forwards; Bob Allen, center; Dick Harp and Bruce Voran, guards.
Engleman May Start
Ebling and Kline have been in the starting lineup most of the season, but may give way to Engleman and Voran in the game Friday night and the conference game with Iowa State here Monday night.
Frequent scrimages have pitted this five against a team made up of Don Ebling and Bob Johnson, forwards; Jack Sands, center; John Kline and T. P. Hunter, guards.
Jay Janes, women's pop organization, will be in charge of ticket sales. Tickets will be on sale on the first floor of Frank Strong hall.

Missouri Host To Washington U. Tomorrow Night
Columbia, Mo—Feb. 8—There is the little matter of a 34-29 score to be settled here tomorrow night when the University of Missouri's Big Six pace-setting cagers meet Washington University of St. Louis.
It so happens the quoted score was that by which the Bears polished off the Tigers when the two teams tangled in St. Louis during the Christmas holidays.
Now the fact of the matter is the local squad maintains the previous game was strictly the result of having an "off night." And what's more, they insist on proving this is not merely a feeble alibi Friday night.
Since that time plenty of water has passed under the bridge and, it might be 'added, most of has flown in the direction of Missouri. Since returning from the disastrous holiday swing the Tigers have dropped 'only one game—the 35-34 decision to Oklahoma—while triumphing over Greeley State Teachers of Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Nebraska twice.
One of the most significant matters of this record is the apparent overcoming of the habit of losing on foreign floors by the Black and Gold five. Three of these last six victories have been realized on strange courts.
On their recent two-game trio over last weekend, the Bengals came up with distinct different means of winning. After trailing at halftime against Nebraska at Lincoln, Capt. John Lobsiger sparked a last-half rally that brought the Tigers a narrow 41-40 verdict. Monday night at Kansas State the Edwards-coached clan realized it would be practically impossible to stage a similar drive against a Wildcat
Track Squad Opens Season With Huskers
Opening meet of the indoor track season brings together the Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln Saturday night.
A novel idea for track in this section, conducting the dual meet at night, will be tried for the first time Saturday. The meet will be held under one side of the Nebraska stadium and will begin at 8 o'clock.
Nebraska is a top-heavy favorite to win the meet, but the Jayhawks should capture their share of first places. Coach Bill Hargiss is counting on his co-captains, Ray Harris and Bob Stoland, for a pair of wins apiece.
Stoland, Big Six champion in the high jump and broad jump, is expected to win both events without too much trouble. Stoland has a leap of 6 feet 5 inches to his credit in the high jump and also broad jumped 23 feet 10 inches last year.
Harris Should Cop Two Races
Harris, who won the two-mile run at the Big Six outdoor meet last spring and finished second in the mile run, should win those two events Saturday. He has been running well this winter.
Jones was a crack high school broad jumper and may reach 24 feet before the season is over. Scott is a chunky blond headed boy who has had considerable trouble with his legs, but has been looking very good recently. Hamilton is a converted sprinter of ability.
In regard to the other events, however, Hargiss is not very confident. Sophomores will carry the load in many events and there is no telling just how they will do. Two Promising Sophs
Two of the most promising soph mores are Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, a pair of durable middle distance men. Both were half milers in high school, but have shown aptitude at longer distances as well. Saturday they will run both the mile and the 880.
Other sophomores of promise are J. R. Jones in the broad jump, Ted Scott in the 60-yard dash, Kenney Hamilton in the 440, and Jack O'-Hara in the pole vault.
BOSTON (UP) — A well-dressed college student is likely to get better marks in examinations than the traditional sloppy student, L. Harold DeWolf, psychology professor a. Boston University, believes.
Another suggestion made by De-Wolf is that during each day of study the student should stop work and enjoy some active recreation like skating or skiing.
Dress for the Exam, Professor Advises
In outlining methods for preparing for an examination, DeWolf said that neat clothing gives confidence and a disheveled appearance makes the student feel insecure.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
Mr. Hoover Leads With His Chin
Emotional appeals by former president Herbert Hoover on behalf of the beleaguered Finnish republic have an ominous ring of presidential politics. His continued campaign for foreign relief may result in Mr. Hoover's being accused, just as he accused Franklin Roosevelt in 1932, of "playing politics with human misery."
That Mr. Hoover led no movement for Austrian relief when Hitler marched into that country, threw thousands of persons into concentration camps, and sent thousands more into homeless exile, does not seem to be in keeping with the former president's present attitude. That Mr. Hoover led no movement for relief in Spain, China, Czecho-Slovakia, or Poland shows again a right-about-face in position.
Never has the ex-president shown for imporverished and debt-ridden people in the United States the great passion he is now exhibiting toward Finland. Hoover fails to state
Labor Against The World
John Lewis and his CIO and William Green and his AFL are still banging away at President Roosevelt and at the National Labor Relations Board.
Claiming that the re-election of the president in 1936 was the result of a coalition between the Democratic party and organized labor, Lewis, at the Columbus, Ohio, convention of his United Mine Workers of America last week, charged that "the democratic party and its leadership have not preserved their faith."
Lewis reiterated complaints he has been making for time past: that there has been no attempt on the part of the administration to seek or to heed labor's advice on any question; that seven years after its instatement, the administration has still failed to do anything of significance in solving unemployment, relief, debt, taxation, and many other problems.
But Mr. Lewis has failed to realize that Franklin Roosevelt has given organized labor more support than it has had in many years. Roosevelt has been a strong proponent of labor throughout his entire stay in the White House. That the Labor Relations Board has been more than arbitrary in handling labor is little justification for Lewis' present stand against the president.
At the same time, the executive council of the AFL termed the work of the Labor Board the result of "bias, stupidity, and incompetence." The council charged that the terms granted the board under the Wagner act do not allow such abuses as have been practiced in administering labor disputes. Each of the labor organizations, AFL and CIO, also feels that the board is favoring the other.
It is known that the board is not perfect, that it has been partial in many cases and too arbitrary in others. Yet it is also an accepted fact that the Board has been even less favorable toward employers than toward labor. But regardless of the abuses performed by the Board, the correction of the trouble does not lie simply in modifying or reorganizing that Board, as the labor groups have suggested.
his position regarding the critical and tragic relief crisis in Ohio, where Governor Bricker—apparently to keep a balanced budget balanced—refuses to take action. Nor has Hoover made any mention of securing fair treatment and trial of WPA workers charged with labor conspiracy in Minneapolis. And the "Grapes of Wrath" Okies in Hoover's home state of California have yet to see the Republican leader lend his support to a crusade in their behalf.
Effective revision of the Wagner Act, stip-
Mr. Hoover made part of his original reputation as the American relief director in Europe during the first World War—a reputation that helped into the presidency.
With a crucial presidential election to be held this year, it would appear possible, then, that Hoover may be dramatizing the plight of the Finns in the interest of his own eagerness to build up political popularity with the American people.
The one-time president apparently thinks he has taken hold of a popular presidential issue, since the American people have a greater regard for the Finns than for the Russians. Thus he is now willing to throw overboard his cautious attitude of a few months ago to carry on a crusade for the Finns. In so doing, it is possible he may set fires that will be hard to quench. Once Hoover succeeds in giving momentum to his relief campaign, the next step to follow is that the United States will be expected to extend loans to the small countries in distress or to offer more than monetary aid.
ulating for the Board certain powers beyond which it could not go, and thus guaranteeing fairness and justice to laborer and employer alike, should automatically heal the sore spot now caused by the Labor Board.

Republicans who fear the Roosevelt popularity in the coming election are advised that an effective way of lessening the chances for his re-election would be to suggest that the president go for an automobile ride with one of his sons.

Subscription rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas, daily during the school year, Sept Monday, and Saturd. Entered as second class on Feb 27, 2018, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 2017.
Wisecracks about the third term don't seem to be getting any funnier. The more of them we read, the more we miss Will Rogers. Democrat though he was, the cowboy comedian never sacrificed a good joke for the sake of the party. His dry Oklahoma humor was at its best when applied to such topics.

The Leavenworth prison farm is said to need guards to keep men on the job. That's one problem the Kansas farmer hasn't had to face. On the other hand, the prison ruralists
don't have to compete with the WPA for labor at harvest time.
A controversy that threatens to rival the third term as a political issue is developing over Thomas E. Dewey's alleged attempt to "age" himself artificially. But there's really nothing new about trying to look older or younger. Women traditionally have fought the birthday habit. They try to look 25 at 15 and 15 at 25. The college freshman in an effort to appear mature, affects a pipe and starts shaving twice daily in the hope a beard will sprout.
In Mr. Dewey's case, however, the argument concerns the method he should use. His mustache, some contend, makes the district attorney flippant, and more youthful. This school holds he should acquire some horn-rimmed spectacles. Probably neither one is the best. We knew a rosy-cheeked youth with a distinct high schoolish appearance who campaigned for county treasurer in a small Kansas town. He made a regular practice of walking through the business district with his wife and three-year-old child. And he won.

What is the business school trying to do—be exclusive? I suggest there be some equalization of opportunity around this University, in the form of more equitable fees.
I want to know why we students in the business school have to pay a larger tuition fee than students in the college. I see no reason for the difference in the fees, for the business school is no more specialized, offers no courses requiring expensive laboratory equipment, and leads to a degree that guarantees no more than an A.B.
The fact that I am not a resident of Kansas means that I have to pay greater fees, no matter in what school I am, but the added burden of having to pay more in the business school is just too much.

ASKS KANSAN TO TEMPORIZE To the Editor;
The Kansan must have a wild hair. Whence all these letters from
students seeking to have a change made in closing hours? Doesn't the editor of the Kansan know that the mere printing of letters from readers can do little good toward effecting an amendment of the present regulations?
Because of the difficulty of ever making any changes in such a strongly entrenched rule as that of closing hours, it seems to me that the Kansan is only wasting space when it devotes part of its columns to letters such as these.
Why not, instead, give more play to letters from students who are really speaking their minds on important topics, issues that can be discussed? Certainly this would be of more general interest to all the paper's readers.

Those four Merry Bachelors of the Wren apartments still lead their riotous lives with a new laugh coming up every day. The lavish cuisine enjoyed by Ed Hokanson, merriest of the lot, has the blond Adonis looking like a picture of Venus On A Potato Diet. Evidence of girth expansion came the other night when Hokanson crawled into last year's suit, took a deep breath, and watched amazed as three buttons flew through the air.
The only part of Hokanson's fattening anatomy that is not directly traceable to over-zealousness at the table is his right hand. Hokanson underestimated the distance between a wall and his flat the other evening, feinted with his right, and nearly fainted from pain when he cracked the plaster.
Note to the M.B.'s cook: the boys have decided to give up hash and grainflower during Lent.
Bewailing the early closing hours, a "Disgusted Dora" writes the You Said It department that a coed could do anything wrong before 10:30 were she so inclined. If so, what in the world is she crying about?
In Brick's and a mile from home, Chi O Mary Lou Miller and a boothful of sisters offer patterning, petite, pledge Anna Jane Hoffman a "whole" merit if she'll carry the actives' books home. With a saucy "You know what you can do with your books" look Anna Jane snares the actives' pickle from their communal cheese sandwich and trips out. Anna Jane knows the easiest way to earn merits at the Chi O homestead is to trap the tame rats.
Collegiate circus: He's a senior, fun-loving and easy going. A semester of carousing put him heavily in debt and on probation. His father, disgusted with his attitude took him out of school and put him to work hoping to stiffen up his backbone. Last fall he came back to school. As far as his parents were concerned, he was regularly enrolled. But he was not; never went near Dean Nelson to get the probation lecture but instead rented an apartment and went to work having a good time. For one semester tuition, book, and board and room money went for bacchanalian sortes. Now he's enrolled in school, praying that his duped parents won't learn of their son's perfidy.
There are always a couple of good stories about grade complaints at the end of each semester but this is one that tops them all.
When a student went to Dean Lawson this week to complain of a low grade in an economics course taught by Peter F. Palmer he was very much upset. While stating his case to the Dean he broke out with, "Why Doctor Lawson, you don't know what kind of a person he is. Didn't you read about him being arrested for bootlegging?"
That was the wrong Palmer son. And incidentally, the wrong way to change a grade.

Registrar's Office Wants Addresses
All changes in addresses or phone numbers for the new semester should be turned in to the registrar's office as soon as possible, William Farmer, l'41, editor of the student directory, said today.
When all new students' addresses are recorded and the changes made, a directory supplement will be issued, Farmer said.

hysteria, or something very like it, in antagonism to minority groups of the left.
Civil liberties will be more in peril from Congress itself at this session than hitherto. Pending at present are a number of so-called anti-alien and anti-sedition bills which in the past have been too drastic for one branch or the other to stomach. Their chances of passage are increased as war atmosphere thickens and fears for true Americanism seem to spread.
Chairman Dies is not on a subversive Red hunt; neither is he on a Nazi hunt alone. His whole attitude suggests a campaign of quasi-terrorism to be developed against the so-called liberal front, such as culminated in the World War period in Attorney General Mitchell Palmer's raids. Dies' special effort seems to be to scrape up material to feed a reaction in this country, whether Fascistic or not, that would encourage the worst of the obscurantists in American life.
PROGRESSIVE.
LET'S SAND THE ICE To the Editor:
Now that it is not quite so cold, and persons can once again get outside and about, it would be a very worthwhile project for the city administration, or the university authorities, or someone, to go around with a shovel and a truckload of sand, and sprinkle all those nice little icy places that people (and especially I) always fall on.
It was excusable in the severe weather, for then workmen could not be expected to stay out in such cold. But now there is no earthly reason why someone can't do something about it. It would add much to one's chances of getting up and down the hill, and also would serve as a check on the amount of water that runs down the middle of the sidewalks when the snow and ice does melt, as it has been doing lately.

If President Roosevelt doesn't desert his cautious treatment of the international situation soon, the three prominent Republican candidates are going to find that a needle in a haystack is far more obvious than an issue to wage a successful campaign.
G.O.P. Lacks An Issue
Editor, Daily Kansan:
A vital issue is necessary to defeat a firmly implanted administration. So far Dewey, Vandenburg, and Taft, the three whitest hopes of the Republicans, have confined their speeches to cavilling over the inefficiency and wastefulness of the New Deal. Dewey's chief stump-speaking gripe has been that individualism has been discouraged by the Rooseveltian administration. It's very true, but the voting public today isn't much interested in such a manly virtue. Not enough, at least, to rise up in rage and register a protest vote.
Attacks up to the present have
Business itself presents no opportunity to the Republicans. The best the candidates can do is advocate a more "sympathetic" attitude toward business. Landon used that back in 1936 and came up with the gratitude of two measly states.
been general and not specific. Republican representative Clifford Hope's committee found that if the farmers were at all disgusted with the present set-up of the AAA, it was only with its administration. Can the Republicans come out with a platform for a radically enough changed AAA to make a campaign issue? Hardly.
One last hope awaits the opposition. Should President Roosevelt make a slip in his treatment of the European situation and make it appear that involvement in foreign

Equitation Popular; Open New Classes
With a total of 30 enrollees the new course in equitation has exceeded the number expected, and will have to be divided into more classes, E. B. DeGroot, Jr., instructor of physical education, said today. There will be two divisions of instruction consisting of two classes each, in order that the large number of equestrians may be more practically accommodated, DeGroot said. The divisions are made according to the previous experience of the riders, with the first open to elementary students and the second consisting of the intermediate classes.
There will be no new instructors, said DeGroot, but it may be necessary to have a class in the morning as well as in the afternoon if more students enroll in the course.
Classes started this afternoon and will be held twice a week. The only fee will be the rental cost of the horses an hour. Later in the term DeGroot said, there will be some textbook studies made of different styles of horsemanship and some elementary jumping exercises. "We have a horseshow during the final days of the spring semester," DeGroot said, "but plans haven't definitely been formulated."
KFKU To Present Guidance Talks
A series of vocational guidance discussions for seniors will be broadcast by the University over radio station KFKU throughout February, March, April and May on Friday afternoons.

Begin Work on Service Line for Brynwood Place
Ground was being broken yesterday for the utility service tunnel connecting the University service lines with Brynwood Place, the cooperative dormitory for deserving men students being endowed to the University by interested alumni.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds for the University, estimated that the tunnel would cost about $4,000. The tunnel, which is to be about three feet square, will carry a four-inch steam line and two on-inch pipes for cold water and gas. It will join the University service line under Spooner-Thayer museum. Electric service for the new dormitory will also be carried through the tunnel, Bayles explained.
Fifteen members of the University R.O.T.C. have been selected for the firing of the first stages of the Corps Area Gallery matches, Major Raymond Edwards, assistant processor of military science, announced today.

Frosh Cagers Meet Varsity This Evening
NUMBER 87.
Starting Lineups:
Varsity Pos. Frost
R. Miller F Hall
Engleman F Hallberg
Allen C Nipper
Harp G Sollenberger
Voran G D. Miller
Officials: A. E. Woostemeyer (Kansas) and Edd R. Wood (Tarkio).
Time: 7:30 tonight.
Place: Hoch Auditorium.
A repeat order of last fall's Varsity-Frosh basketball game will be played at 7:30 tonight in Hoch auditorium as a charity affair with all proceeds going to the Finnish relief fund and the infantile paralysis fund.
Students may contribute as much as they want to for tickets to the contest.
On the eve of the Missouri football game last November these two teams tangled and the Varsity triumphed, 44 to 22.
This will be the first start for the Jayhawkers since they humbled Nebraska here, 40 to 24, over two weeks ago. Dr. F. C. Allen has been experimenting with a new lineup which he intends to start against the frost tonight.
Howard Engleman will start at forward in place of Don Ebling, and Bruce Veran will be in John Kline's usual defensive slot.
At the other three positions will be Ralph Miller and Bobby Allen, the team's leading scorers, and Dick Harp, captain and guard.
The freshmen will be missing the services of Norman Sanneman and John Euescher, stars of the first game, due to ineligibility, but in their places will be John Hallberg, big 6 foot 8 inch Kansas City boy who has been practicing at slapping the ball out of the basket. He will team with Vance Hall at forward.
At center will be Allen Nipper. Dick Miller will start at guard and may be assigned to the task of hold-may be assigned to the task of hold-Young Miller's running mate will be Marvin Sollenberger.

Hospital Plans To Shoot R.O.T.C... With Vaccine
All R.O.T.C. men are required to attend advance camp before their senior year and must be inoculated for typhoid and vaccinated for smallpox.
Preparations are being made to shoot all R.O.T.C. men who will attend advance camp this summer with para-typhoid vaccine. Requisition has been made to the government for the ammunition with which to shoot the soldiers.
Baldwin Reports Record Enrollment In ROTC Course
The shooting will take about three weeks and will be done by Dr. R.I. Canuteson at Watkins hospital.
Enrollment is still open in both the infantry and coast artillery units, it was announced today by Col. Karl F. Baldwin. It is not necessary for a student to have had previous military training to enroll this semester. All men desiring to enroll in R.O. T.C. training may do so Saturday in Robinson gymnasium.
It is expected that enrollment figures for the Spring semester will approach the record made by this fall's enrollment. Total enrollment at the present exceeds that of any Spring semester since the organization of R.O.T.C. at the University in 1919.
"Make Yourself a Better Speaker", by E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, is the title of a book just published by the Ronald Press of New York. For seven years the title of the book was to have been "Ladies and Gentlemen", said Prof. Buehler, "but when the play 'Ladies and Gentlemen' was published in book form, I was forced to change the title."
Prof. Buehler Publishes Book
Prof. Buehler is the author of another speech book "You Sell With Your Voice", which was done in collaboration with Martin Maloney, '36 Maloney is now an instructor in speech at Cornell University.
Howard Babcock Wins First Prize on Package Design

Balloting Light As I.S.A. Votes For New Prexy
Independent Student Association members voted true to form this afternoon when only a few showed up at the preliminary opening of the polls to vote for a new Association president and a supporting cabinet.
Much heavier balloting is expected tomorrow night at the I. S.A. varsity dance in the Memorial Union ballroom. The dance is from 9 to 12 o'clock but polls will be open from 9 to 10:30
Polls Open Today
The polls were open this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock to take care of Association members who could not attend the dance to vote. The light turnout was similar to election difficulties the I.S.A. met last month when the number of ballots cast was so short of the constitutionally required number that the election was declared invalid.
The Independent Student Council declined to announce the results of the invalidated election at this time but it was understood that the votes were almost evenly divided among candidates Charlotte Steele, c'41, Bob Mason, c'42, and Jim Brockett, c'40.
When the Council itself could not agree on a president it was decided to postpone a selection until the dance when, it was felt, more members would be available for an election.
Fred Robertson, c'42; Paul Gilles, c'43; Dorothy Gear, c'42; Mildred Wills, ed'43; Charles Weber, e'43; Jim Burdge, e'41; Louise Trautwein, c'42; Barbara Mafi, fa'41.
Bernard "Poco" Frazier, University sculptor, is exhibiting one of the eight pieces accepted by the Kansas City Art Institute at its current Middle West art exhibition.
Brockett Withdrawn
Voters must also decide upon four of the following eight candidates to serve on the new Council:
His "Wounded Falcon" was cut from a 1,300 pound block of Nerobi marble presented to him by a marble company. Frazier has been working in the University on a Carnegie grant awarded him several years ago for his creative work in sculpture.
It was thought that the recent withdrawal of Brockett form the presidential race would simplify the problem somewhat.
Frazier Piece In Art Display
Design Students Get Checks
Checks for 12 china patterns that were sold to the Onondaga Pottery company of Syracuse, N.Y., by students in the department of design arrived today and were distributed to the creators by Miss Rosemary Ketcham, instructor of design.
Enrollment in the three hour reading improvement course for the Spring semester has already reached 75 and is expected to go over 100, according to Bert A. Nash, professor of education, who is in charge of the course.
Reading Course Enrollment Is 75
Classes in the course will start Monday. All students who have enrolled will find where their class meets by stopping in room 18, Fraser. Sections will be held every hour from 8:30 a.m. until 3:20 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Five graduate students are to assist Professor Nash in the laboratory instruction of the classes and two more assistants will be added as the enrollment increases. Graduate students now teaching are Henry Van Swearingen, Mary Gaberdiel, Alice Noone, Raymond Tudor and Mendell Reichart.
The course carries no credit and is designed to aid College students in improving their reading effectiveness and study habits. The enrollment ranges from College freshmen to graduate students.
Thirty Students To 'Y' Conference
Thirty University students will attend the tri-school Y.M.C.A.-Y.W. C.A. conference to be held at Marysville Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 10-11, Eda Paddock, Y. W. secretary, announced today. Students of the University of Nebraska and Kansas State College will also attend the conference, an annual event.
The University group will be in charge of recreation at the convention. Those on the recreation committee are Bill Cavert, c'43; Jean Steele, c'41; Doris Twente, c'42; and Keith Spalding, c'42.
The Rev. Arnold Nash, of the Student Christian Federation in England, will be the main speaker at the meeting Saturday evening.
Children Cast In Dramatic Club Play
Six Lawrence grade school children will be used in the cast of "Quality Street", latest Dramatic Club production opening in Fraser Theatre Tuesday night. The youngsters have been rehearsing in the afternoon apart from the main cast most this week. They will join their fellow actors tonight.
A schoolroom scene in the play is short but important to the story and calls for several children. Director Robert Calderwood has chosen Fred Six, Patty Dixon, Laurence Musick, Gus Lindquist, Patys Creel, and Rosemary Buehler to play the parts.
Three of the youngsters are familiar to the stage of Fraser all having had roles in the Kansas Players production "My Heart's in the Highlands" earlier in the season. Fred Six was "The boy with an ice cream cone," Patty Dixon had the role of the beautiful daughter "Esther," and Laurence Musick is the young chap who had the juvenile lead part "Johnny."
Washburn college, Baker and Ottawa universities debate teams will participate in a practice tournament with the University debate squad here on Sat. Feb. 10. The university will be represented by John Crutcher, ed'41; Don Mitchell, c'42; Don Hayman, c'40; James Meredith, c'41; Keith Schuerman, b'40; Robert Hedges, b'40; Mae Wynne, c'40; Irving Kuraner, c'40; Russell Baker, c-'unc1; Richard Oliver, c'42; Emmet Park, b'41; and John Stewart, I'40.
Debate Tourney Here Tomorrow
"This tournament is not official, merely providing practice for the respective teams," said E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, today.

Motion Picture Will Change Dress Styles
Fort Worth, Texas—"Gone With The Wind", the motion picture that is attracting attention all over the country may be responsible for a new trend in women's fashions, it was predicted here at a spring and summer style show and market conducted by the National Fashion Exhibitors. The hour glass figure, hoop-skirts, and flowing gowns were featured at the show.
Tight-laced corsets of the nineteenth century found little response when an attempt was made to revive them last year, but the fashion experts said the women will strive for the pinched-waist effect without the traditional discomfort. Bathing suits, sun suits and slacks will be more feminine.
Gowns will have small high waists, draped fullness and "sweetheart" necklaces, the exhibit here revealed. Evening gowns will revive the hoop-skirt effect in crinoline; with a rival trend of sophisticated figure-fitting jerseys, peasant blouses and harem skirts.
Full skirts, although still abbreviated, will replace shorts in many play suits. Bathing suits will be streamlined but many will have matching circular skirts and fitted jackets.
Women who attended the exhibit here said that street and business clothing had a "fullness which has been lacking for years" and that the new summer styles would have trimmings with unusual feminine appeal.
Dave Robins, of Dallas, well-known southwest milliner, said that the influence of "Gone With the Wind" and Scarlett O'Hara has been felt also in women's hats. Dressy straws with flowers and veiling are the most popular type hats for next summer, he said.

Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Bonnie Baker's Hit Song Was a Flop in 1917
"Oh, Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh," a song that has been on every juke box on the Hill for many months, was a flop for several weeks when it appeared in 1917.
This song, now known all over the country due to the singing of "wee" Bonnie Baker and Orrin Tucker's orchestra, was ignored by audiences who first heard it.
A month or two later it began to go over with the same people who first turned it down. More than 1,002,000 copies were sold.
Last spring in Chicago Orrin Tucker wanted to feature Bonnie Baker in a number at the Palmer House. One day he was whistling a song that he used to hear his mother sing. It was "Oh Johnny." The next step was to find a copy of the song which had almost completely disappeared. Finally one copy was found and he decided that it fit the shy voice of Bonnie.

The music was written by Abe Olman of New York and the lyrics by the late Ed Rose.

Hull's Trade Treaty O.K. Say Students
That the reciprocal trade treaties of Secretary of State Cordell Hull were beneficial to the United States was the conclusion reached by Irving Kuraner, c'40, Jean Crawford, c'40, and J. D. Ramsey, c'40, in the regular Thursday Roundtable on Station KFKU at 9:30 last night.
Kuraner summed up the discussion by saying that prosperity has its basis in trade. "Only by buying and selling a lot of good can we have prosperity," he added. Kurasier also said that the treaties would aid Kansas farmers by bringing in low cost commodities needed and by providing a larger market for their own products.
The discussion which was led by Ramsey was opened by Miss Crawford with an explanation of the reciprocal act passed in 1934.
Kuraner remarked that it was a popular notion that buying abroad affected our nation adversely, but Ramsey pointed out that in order to increase our export market we must increase our import market.

Indoor Track Opener Tomorrow
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
Pursuing my policy of giving due prominence to sports news of national scope and prime import I am putting tonight's Louis-Godoy heavyweight championship fight in this column.
The "why" of this Marquis of Queensberry frolic seems to bother most fistfiascos. They ask, "Why is Louis risking his title against an unknown?" The answer is, "He ain't." All Louis risks is his sense of fair play and his respect for the New York boxing commission's rules. They don't hold where the South American is concerned. Godoy fights "The South American Way" wherein boxing is war and all is fair.
Whether or not the optimistic mestizo has earned the dubious privilege of literally facing Louis's left is largely a matter o fa definition of the word "boxing." If boxing includes gouging, cuffing, backhanding, butting, and permits the free use of elbows on offensive weapons, then Arturo rates as number one lamb-for-the-slaughter. He has twice vanquished Tony Galento, and the Beer Barrel Poker was recognized as North America's master of mayhem.
Oh yes, Godoy is the South American heavyweight boxing champion, a distinction somewhat comparable to the heavyweight wrestling title of the United States.
While it will probably have little weight with Mr. Jacobs, it is my opinion that the Indian should have had to get past Rudy Vallee, the unofficial washroom brawl king, before receiving a shot at the dark victor.
Unless home cooking has made Louis a mere tint of his former self, the bad boy tactics of Godoy will not phase him. The unruly Primo Carrera found young, black Joe cared of absorbing and creating ring chaos.
Injury Slows Down Huskers' Bob Kahler
Lincoln, Feb. 9—Bob Kahler, Nebraska football star who was counted upon to gather points in the high jump and hurdle events at the dual meet with Kansas Saturday night, is suffering from a pulled muscle and will probably be unable to compete in more than one event against the Jayhawkers.
Sophomore Warren Radtke is improving rapidly and turned in a 52.7 quarter mile in a practice test early in the week. This indicates the Council Bluffs boys may pick up points for the Huskers this year.
Featured races of the evening should be between the Huskers' Harold Brooks and the Jayhawkers' Ray Harris in the distances.
Ed Wibbelts, shot putter, slipped on the ice while skating recently and is suffering from a sprained wrist, although he is doing 44 feet in the shot despite the handicap.
Kansas Runners Go To Lincoln For Night Duel
Kansas and Nebraska pry the lid off their indoor track campaigns to tomorrow with a night meet at Lincoln under the Husker stadium.
The novel dual meet will serve as an opener for the indoor track season, and in spite of the fact that Nebraska is a topheavy favorite to win, the Jayhawks should capture their share of first places. Coach Bill Hargis is counting on his co-captains, Ray Harris and Bob Stoland, for a pair of wins apiece.
Harris, who has been running well this winter, won the two-mile run at the Big Six outdoor meet last spring and finished second in the mile run, and he should win these events.
Stoland, Big Six champion in the high jump and broad jump, is expected to win both events without much trouble. He has a leap of 6 feet 5 inches in the high jump and one of 23 feet 10 inches in the broad jump.
Sophomores are expected to carry the load in many events and their
No Trip for Swimmers Due To Lack of Funds
By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
The athletic department's pressing need for financial aid was emphasized yesterday when the swimming team was told that it could not make the trip to Norman, Okla., for its scheduled meet with the Sooners tomorrow.
E. L. Falkenstein, financial secretary of intercollegiate athletics, said there were no funds available to meet the expenses the team would incur on the trip. He said it would take about $150 to send the swimmers to Oklahoma.
It has been the practice in the Big Six for the visiting minor sports teams to pay their own expenses and schedule home and home meets.
Early in January the athletic department asked the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association for $1,850 in order that the minor sports program would not have to be curtailed. However, both groups postponed action on the matter. The money was in a reserve fund the councils had set aside for emergency use.
ability under fire is yet to be determined. Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, a pair of promising sophomores, will run the mile and the 880 tomorrow. Other sophs of promise are J. R. Jones in the broad jump,

Jones was a fine broad jumper in high school and may reach 24 feet before the season is over.
Following in the footsteps of an All-American brother is a tough assignment, but Don Ebling, Kansas forward, has done a swell job of it.
Don's brother, Ray, was one of the greatest Jayhawk basketball players of all time. For three years Ray led the Big Six in scoring and each year he won All-American honors.
Consequently, when Don enrolled at the University the fall after Ray graduated, he had a brilliant example to live up to. Although he was four inches shorter than his brother and some fifteen pounds lighter, Don was expected to be just as good by the fans.
A tireless worker, Don practices like a demon and races all over the floor. Although he is the smallest man on the Kansas team, Ebling makes himself a star on defense by his harassing tactics and his persistent guarding, Perfect Timing on Rebounds
Not a High Scorer
Now in his third year as a regular on the Jayhawk varsity five, Don has never been the scorer that his brother was, but what a coach's player he has turned out to be.
No one ever worked harder in practice or put more out in a game than Don Ebling. The speedy little forward plays his heart out every minute he is in the game and he is just as big a favorite with his fellow players as he is with Coach F. C. Allen.
The ' foot 11 inch Ebling is a rebounder that Dr. Allen probably would be willing to put up against any man of his size in the country. Biggest treat of home games for the fans is the sight of some giant on the opposing team taking the ball off the
backboard and then having it snatched from his hands by the diminutive Ebling as the big boy comes down back to the floor. Don's timing on rebounds is perfect.
Although he cannot compare with his brother as a one-hand shooter,

Winless Cyclones Battle K-State At Ames Tonight
Ames, Iowa, Feb. 9—Intent on getting back into the thick of the Big Six basketball race after nearly a three-week rest, the Iowa State Cyclones meet the improved Kansas State Wildcats in State gymnasium here tonight.
The Cyclones have been idle in the Big Six since Jan. 22, when they were nosed out by Kansas State, but they have defeated Morningside during that period. On the other hand Kansas State has been active, losing to Missouri and Oklahoma, who are at present tied for the lead in the Big Six.
Coach Louis Menze has picked the same outfit to start this game that he has used in the last two games. Menze

indicated that he would start Al Budolfson and either Bob Harris or Darrel Don Carlos at forwards; co-captain Gordon Nicholas, center; and Bob Menze and Dale DeKoster at guards. Menze has been alternating Don Carlos and Harris at forward for the past two games. In the Morning-side game Don Carlos counted 13 points, while Harris got nine before he left the game via the foul route.
The Wildcats are regarded as the hardest fighting team in the Big Six. Although they have not been able to turn the tables on the road, they are considered a difficult team to beat.

It Can't Happen Here-- Health Service Tests Hit Hard at Tuberculosis
By Gene Kuhn, c'40
Effectiveness of the University health service's program of tuberculin testing has been shown in that since 1932, when the diagnostic test was initiated, all cases of tuberculosis have been diagnosed in the early stages before clinical symptoms appeared. Dr.R.I.Canuteson, director, said today.
The early diagnosis of tuberculosis greatly increases chances of the student's recovery, the period of invalidism shortened, and, since the cases $ ^{\circled{}} $ have not reached the contagious stage, the public is protected against infection. culosis and is responsible for spread of the infection. Most Receive Chest
Prior to that time, tuberculosis was diagnosed on the basis of symptoms, history, x-ray findings, and sputum examination. It was not unusual, Doctor Canuteson said, to find a case of moderately advanced active tuberculosis.
One student," Doctor Canutson said, "in a far advanced stage was brought to the dispensary because her coughing disturbed the sleep of her roommate. They are now both dead of tuberculosis. Examinee 9:414 Students
In the past eight years we have examined and tuberculin tested a total of 9,414 students, which includes only 120 tuberculin tested in 1932 and which were not classified by age and sex. Of the remaining 9,294,6,239 were men and 3,055 women.
"The total of positive reactors was 3,150 or 33.46 per cent, of which 2,295 men and 810 women. The percentage of positive reactors among men was 36.78 per cent and 26.51 per cent among women."
This is in line with findings throughout the country, Doctor Canuteson said. Women, however, show a higher incidence of active tuberculosis than men in the same age group.
Purpose of the tuberculin test, Doctor Canuteson explained, is not only to find active cases of tuberculosis, but to find the cases that have become tuberculin sensitive. The tuberculin sensitive person has been infected with tuberculosis, he said.
The examination is valuable in investigating the student's family and associates to learn which one is or has been an active case of tuber-
Doctor Canuteson said that with few exceptions, all student examined who had positive tuberculin tests also received chest x-rays at Watkins Memorial hospital. The number of students failing to complete the tuberculin tests and x-rays varied from 27 to 101 each year.
Reasons advanced for this failure to complete the tests were the belief that the tuberculin test was harmful or painful; parental objec-

We Need Wassermanns!
To the Editor:
Following in the wake of progress, Kansas University has accomplished in the last two or three years the introduction of the Wassermann test into the border routine of the student hospital. The nation's fight against syphilis and other venereal diseases has manifested itself locally by the accomplished fact that students on this campus may take a Wassermann examination at the student hospital at their request.
This is certainly an improvement on past practice, but would it be asking too much to have the Wassermann test included as one of the items in the regular required physical examinations? This would certainly be a forward step, and progressive student opinion is squarely behind it. It would be quite nice to have Kansas assume the position of one of the leaders in this coming reform, instead of one of the die-hards—as is the case entirely too often.
To the Editor:
GERALD BANKER.
We're not the sort of students who like to set up a howl over any and every little trouble without just cause, but when we've been on the hill for two or four years, and all library heads and assistants know us by sight as well as name, we think we should be allowed to check out a book when we have not brought our activity books or identification cards with us.
How to Identify Readers
We know that the original purpose of having students present identification on asking for a book was a good idea—when it began—but the thing has gone too far.
★ ★ ★
When many of us who live a good way from the hill forget our cards, we are left with nothing to do but go after the card or do without the book we want. It is not always so easy to get a friend to check the book out on his card.
So we suggest the following method of handling such forgetful cases. When a student fails to present his identification, let him sign another card, as well as the book card. This second card may be kept in a separate file, and the name checked off when the borrow returns. It might also be advisable to require such absent-minded students to furnish verbal proof of registration in the University.
And replacing the book on the shelf because we can't show registrar's proof that we are who we are does no one any good. Saving the book makes it no better or worse for the next time. They're here to be used.
U-NANIMOUS.
The few dollars a month this service would cost would be worth much to any deserving student who gets the job of handling the file, and besides, several hundreds of students would feel much more happy and relieved.
We bleed for Mr. Palmer. We believe that the presence of a respectable bootleger in a college town is entirely excusable—in fact, an asset. The deal is that students who drink are going to get it somewhere,
The article in Wednesday's Kansan headlining the arrest of Robert Palmer was in our opinion distinctly bad taste. In the first place, by the time the Kansan reached our homes the news wasn't news, and we'd already begun wondering where to buy our liquor for this weekend. In the second place, Palmer is a student on this hill, and headlining such news is not the best publicity for the school. But since the Kansan did go so far with this news article, we feel it should by all means have listed someone else from whom we may buy our liquor from now on.

So in the future, Kansan, let's have complete coverage. University publicity needs a break; so do we who drink.

Tax the Voter?
★ ★ ★
To the Editor:
According to information from Washington, the administration hopes to be able to steer a test case on the legality of the poll tax into the supreme court for a ruling in time to be effective in the next presidential election. Legality of the poll tax was upheld by the court in 1937 in a decision written by the late Justice Pierce Butler, in a case originating in Georgia. But the complexion of the court has undergone considerable change since that time and a new test might produce a different result.
Invalidation of the poll tax would free thousands of voters, principally in the southern states, of a petty levy that has seemed, to many, to be arbitrary. But that is not the aim of the desired test, which is to enfranchise other thousands who, as a result of the tax, do not vote at all.
A case which may serve the purpose is in process of determination in Tennessee, where a voter who had not paid the state poll tax demanded and was refused the right to vote, so he began suit.
These would add quantity to the electoral outpouring but they would add little to the quality of the electoral consensus. In the states where the poll tax has been long established, the tax receipt is viewed in the light of a certificate of citizenship or a visible token of political identity. The industrious and thrifty make sacrifices to possess it. Only the shiftless, ignorant and indifferent do not prize it, yet it is they who would benefit most by the hoped for emancipation.
Still, the tax appears to operate to modify the principle of popular rule, and the remedy would therefore seem to be to raise the general level of voting intelligence and civic interest instead of penalizing the unqualified.

Nocturnal Cacophony--
Physicist Seeks Perfect Phonograph Needles
Long after most of the campus has gone to sleep, shrill whistling sounds stream from the lower windows of Blake hall. But few people realize that from this disturbance, an invention may arise which may save the general public thousands of dollars each year.
By Hal Ruppenthal, c'42
Investigation of the cause found Dr. Seville Chapman instructor of physics, experimenting with his latest hobby, phonograph needles. Dr. Chapman says that few, if any, people know specifically what makes records wear. It is known that the friction of the needle on the record wears the needle. But what makes records wear is still definitely undetermined.
Dr. Chapman has experimented with steel, chromium, sapphire tipped, and cactus needles. Each type is tested on a record approximately a hundred times. Difference in the wear-ability is greatly noticeable. "Cactus needles," Chapman pointed out "give poor reproduction." For longest wear he recommends the sapphire needles.
Many of the records used in his needle testing play only a single tone. The tone, from this, can be plotted on a chart and correlated results made for each needle.
Dr. Chapman has found it best to carry on his hobby in his extra hours after midnight, on Sunday, or other odd times.

Dictators Have One Foot in Grave Weather Trend Spells End
By Bill Koester, c'41 Dictatorships eventually will succumb to a world-wide spread of democracy—if present weather conditions are any criteria of trends in government. Such is the contention of R. H. Wheeler, head of the department of psychology, who says that totalitarian government has always been associated with warm periods characterized by dictatorships, and that throughout history long cold waves have accompanied the displacement of absolutism by more democratic forms of government.
Professor Wheeler contends that we are in the initial stages of a long drop in the world temperature curve, hence that the existing cold wave, which is nearly universal over the entire Northern Hemisphere signals the death knell of present dictatorships.
"The cultural events of warm periods have always included absolutism or some form of totalitarianism in government, and dictators have always been at their worst during hot drouths," asserted Professor Wheeler. "It is during this phase that state-promoted persecutions of minorities have occured, partly be-

cause governments in power are desperate, partly because these are always times of universal depression, and partly because these periods are always culturally decadent. Whatever form of government exists gets revolutionary and tyrannical; the late 1850's, 1880's, 1860's, and '90's were of this character."
Professor Wheeler contends that if we base our predictions for the future on the events of past history we may expect that many of the next few winters will be more or less like this one—cold and wet. "During this expected cold phase," Professor Wheeler continued, "there should be an outburst of civil strife, rebellion, and war, which existing dictatorships may or may not be able to quell, but in the end democracy should win out. Democratic institutions are founded and developed on the cold side."

Scholarship Exam Dates Are Set
Final examinations for the Summerfield scholarships have been scheduled for April 22 and 23, at which time 10 or 12 boys will be selected for the scholarships for 1940-41. Final examination dates for the women's honor scholarships have not as yet been set.
Examination dates for both Summerfield scholarships and the 12 new competitive honor scholarships for Kansas high school girls were announced this morning from the offices of Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment association, and Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the committee on aids and awards.
It was said, however, that several replies from women have been received already, although the announcements of the new scholarships were sent to high schools only a week ago, indicating immediate interest in the scholarships.
Between 275 and 300 high school seniors are expected to try for the Summerfield scholarships. The committee in charge of the women's scholarships has not indicated how many women will compete for the honor awards.
Cities in which the preliminary examinations will be taken will be designated later, according to a plan of geographical convenience for the candidates.
Nominations for the scholarships must be made by March 1, with preliminary examinations in six cities of the state for both scholarships following March 23.
Money for the 12 women's scholarships, which carry stipends of $100 each, will be furnished by the W.S. C.A. scholarship fund, the Donnelly estate fund, and the Mrs. Paul B. Lawson memorial fund.

(Continued from page seven) degree of certainty that in 1947 or '48 a dry phase on the cold side will occur, followed by a temporary recovery," said Professor Wheeler. "If the rhythms of temperature and rainfall curves from several parts of the world continue as in the past, the 1550's will be warm again, but after that the major part of the present cold period will follow. It is a hazardous guess, but there is at least a grain of hope that before it is over, the cold period will be long enough to promote a substantial recovery of democracy in those countries whose totalitarianism wiped out democratic movements in 1917, and will further facilitate the evolution of democracy generally."
Professor Wheeler bases his theory on facts which have been assimilated through extensive research by the psychology department under his direction. A comprehensive graph of these facts has been made and records world-wide temperatur curves, showing how they correspond to the curves which graph trends in governments.

Youth Admits Thefts in 3 Fraternities
Gentry North, c'43, is being held in custody today by Lawrence police officers pending an investigation of the robbery of three University fraternity houses early Saturday morning.
North was arrested at 7:45 o'clock Saturday morning and admitted having robbed the Sigma Chi, Delta Chi and Kappa Sigma fraternities, according to Jude Anderson, chief of police.
At the time of his arrest the student had in his possession $64.22 in cash, four wrist watches, two Shaefer pencils and one pen, two cigarette lighters and other articles. In his belt he carried an unloaded .44 caliber revolver.
No charges have yet been field against the 19-year-old youth and County Attorney Milton Beach said last night that because of the circumstances in all probability no action would be started. Officials of the three fraternities which were looted, however, were still undecided last night whether they would prefer charges.
Misses Watch
North was accosted at 7 a.m. Saturday in the Delta Chi house when James Zimmerman, c'43, met the youth coming from his room. Zimmerman said that North inquired about a friend and then left the house. A short time later Zimmer-

Thirteen Named To Law Honor Roll
Thirteen students in the University School of Law have been placed on the honor roll for the first semester, F J. Moreau, dean of the School announced yesterday.
Keith Beard, Charles Kimball,
Henry Onsgard, and Charles Ward
were given the highest rating in
the third year class. Honor students
in the second year were Philip Buzick, Ernest Deines, Bernard Ettenson, Andrew Hibbard, and Cyrus Ricketts. The freshman honor
students were Donald Gamet, Arnold Gilbert, David Prager, and Karl Ropenthal.
Women's intramural swimming meets will begin Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Robinson gymnasium pool. The contestants will be: Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Pi Beta Phi, I.W.W., and Miller hall. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Sigma Kappa, T.N.T., Alpha Delta Pi, Independents, Corbin hall, and Watkins hall will compete Thursday, Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m. The six girls who place highest in the two meets will swim in the final meet, Wednesday, Feb. 28.
Entry blanks are due Tuesday, Feb. 13. Drawings will be made for ping pong and deck tennis at a later date.
Harry Hill To Steer Sour Owl
Harry Hill, c'40, has been appointed publisher of the Sour Owl, a newlycreated supervisory position, it was announced yesterday by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity which publishes the magazine.
The office was established at a special meeting Friday afternoon at which problems pertaining to the publication of the magazine were discussed.
The positions of business manager and editor of the Sour Owl will continue to be held by Groves Lucas, b'40, and Jimmy Robertson, c'40, respectively. The publisher will serve without salary.
Hill is president of Sigma Delta Chi and ex-publisher of The Daily Kansan.
Book Exchange Shows Profit
Transactions to date show a profit of $500 for the W.S.G.A. book exchange, according to records kept by Miss Helen Pierce, b'40, manager.
Sales totaling $3,000 exceeded purchases to show that balance, Miss Pierce said. She estimated that the exchange should have a reserve fund amounting to $1,000 by the end of the academic year.
Only an operating fund remains for the used book dealers since they gave an accumulated $5,000 to the University's scholarship fund. That amount represented their surplus over a 30-year period of operation.
The exchange operators also have brought the Wilcox and Follett book agents to the University to buy out-of-date books.
"Monday is the last day for refunds on purchases at the exchange," Miss Pierce announced, "but the book exchange will be open throughout the semester."
'Quality Street' Actors to Wear Old Costumes
Student actors in the Dramatic Club's production of Sir James Barrie's "Quality Street" will be able to "look the part" at tonight's dress rehearsal when they don their Napoleonic War period costumes for the first time.
The outlay of military uniforms for the men and long flowing dresses for the women cast members arrived yesterday.
The east and play are running smoothly, according to Director Robert Calderwood, associate professor in the department of speech and dramatic art, and will be ready for opening night Tuesday.
Ticket sales for the play have been rather slow, said Don Dixon, in charge of the ticket office at Green hall. He believes that students are waiting to get their activity books before reserving their seats. "This isn't necessary," said Dixon, "students have only to phone the ticket office or drop in and we will lay away their tickets. They may then turn in their activity book stubs the night they attend the play."
Four Schools Debate Here
Four schools represented by 14 teams, competed in an unofficial debate held on the campus yesterday. "Resolved: That the United States should follow a policy of strict (economic and military) isolation towards all nations outside the Western Hemisphere engaged in armed international or civil conflict" was the subject argued.
Debate Squad of Five to Make Trip
The schools represented were Ottawa University, William Jewell College, Washburn College, and the University.
Prof. E, C. Buehler, coach of the University debate squad, will take a five-member team to Denver, Colo., to compete in the Rocky Mountain Speech Institute tournament, Feb. 15. 16, and 17.
Members of the debate team who will make the trip include Bob
Left to right the above are: Emmett Park, John D. Stewart, Irving Kuraner, Mac Wynne, and Bob McKay.
The team will leave Tuesday and will make three appearances before various groups enroute, according to tentative plans.
The itinerary scheduled includes speeches on Kansas problems at a meeting of the Ellsworth Rotary club Tuesday night; a debate on isolation at an assembly of the Russell high school Wednesday morning; and an appearance at a public program in either Goodland or Colby Wednesday night.

May Reconsider Athletic Board's Plea for Money
Confronted by the cancellation of University athletic obligations, the Men's Student Council which scarcely a month ago said "no" to an Athletic Association plea for funds may look into the matter again tomorrow night in its initial meeting of the new
Two Drop Flight Training Course
Prof. E. D. Hay, supervisor of the flight training program, announced yesterday that only four students of a quota of six had enrolled in the Advanced Experimental Flight Training Program which is to get under way this week.
Preparations for groundwork have already been completed. However, the flight training will not begin until plans are completed late this week by the regional directors.
Of the six students originally enrolled in the course, two have been forced to drop out. Clyde Pace, e'41, was unable to arrange a satisfactory schedule to fit the flight program and Carl Snyder, e'40, left the University to enroll in an army training school. The four who are still enrolled in the course are Daryl Wagner, e'40, Russell Chitwood, e'40, Dwight Kurth, e'40, and James Thorpe, e'40.
Only five other schools in the United States will offer the advanced flight program this year.
Symphony Numbers To Be Played In Music Room
Karl Krueger and the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra will appear in Hoch auditorium on Feb. 19, but University students needn't wait till then to hear a resume of the program.
Each day this week, recordings of the following numbers, which will be presented by the orchestra, will be played on the phonograph in the Music room of the Memorial Union building: "Les Preludes" (Liszt);
"Symphony in D Minor" (Franck);
"Canzonetta for Strings" (Sibelius);
"Afternoon of the Fawn" (Debussy);
and "The Sorceror's Apprentice" (Dukas).
Swedish Student Will Speak
Ingrid Frestadius, Swedish exchange scholar, will speak at the University Club dinner Wednesday, Feb. 14, according to Prof. H. T. U. Smith, of the geology department. The dinner will start at 7 p.m. Any member of the University Club is invited.
Cold? Kansan want ad results will warm your heart.
The Association previously asked for a grant of $1,850 from the activity reserve fund and had to have its appropriation okayed by both student councils. The money was necessary, the Association said, to maintain University obligations in spring sports. Somewhat dubious as to the danger to spring sports, the M.S.C. issued a denial to the request. On the following night the W.S.G.A. agreed to the grant with the proviso that the money be ear-marked for spring sports alone.
The issue was again brought to the fore Friday when a scheduled swimming match between Kansas and the University of Oklahoma was cancelled because the athletic department lacked the required $150 to make the trip to Norman.
Velma Wilson, c'40, president of the W.S.G.A., yesterday said that she believed, as far as her council was concerned, the athletic would now be granted to the Athletic Association, since it now appears that spring sports are in danger.
How the M.S.C. would react to the renewal of the issue was not known last night by C.H. Mullen, l'42, president of the men's council. Mullen said he was not sure that the question would arise tomorrow night but added that the council would reconsider should any member bring up the issue.
It was thought probable that some member would direct the council's attention to the request again. Though neither political party was prepared to take a stand last night, the Pachacamae councilmen previously voted largely for the appropriation. Strength of the P.S.G.L., opposition party, aided by a few dissenting Pachacamacs, however, turned thumbs down on the proposal.
Methodist Organization Will Elect Officers Today
Nominations for election of new officers of the Wesley Foundation, Methodist organization, will be held at 10 a.m. Sunday in the First Methodist church during the Sunday School period. Stafford Ruhlen, c'40, will preside at the election.

Leap Year Makes Men Watch Dress
By Bill Koester, c'41
Confuscious say, "this leap year, so young indies" fancy turn to thoughts of love", and rightfully so, for spring is just around the corner. And by way of advocating and predicing the best bib-and-tucker to be worn this spring we offer a few hints to the male of the species.
Greats, light browns, and tans will predominate on American college campuses in the ensuing weeks, and especially in the Middle West where styles typical of every section of the country are worn. Suits of gabardine, summer covert, worsted materials, flannels and Palm Beaches should be good inducements to romantic reciprocation from the gals—that is, if you stick to a snappy pattern or style. Single-breasted coats with plain drape backs, slush and ticket pockets, and fish-mouth lapels are doped to lead to the finish line, and incidentally, they're making them extra long and slim around the hips this season. Combinations will be mostly in brown and green, brown and light tan, aqua and very light green, and grey and blue-green.
Hats have already begun to make their spring debuts, with the introduction (or revival, rather) of the college favorite, the porkpie. Fash-

D.U.'s Celebrate First 20 Years
Delta Upsilon celebrated its twentieth annivarsary with an annual Founders' Day banquet at the chapter house Friday night.

SUNDAY
This frock of pastel pink sheer wool with its new shoulder effects and full skirt is the ideal "between seasons" dress to be worn under a fur coat.
Kappa Kappa Gamma Founded Here in 1893
Omega chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, established in 1893, was the third national women's fraternity on this campus. Eight women were initiated as charter members. The chapter now includes fifty active members.
The first Kappa meetings were held in a rented hall in an office building on a side street off Massachusetts. In 1901 the chapter moved into a new rented home. In 1912 they moved again, into the first house they built. It is now occupied by Alpha Kappa Psi. The last move was in 1927 when the Kappas moved to the house at Gower place.
Editor's Note: Each Sunday, starting today, the Daily Kansan will present a brief sketch of one of the Hill's sororities. Next Sunday, the campus history of Alpha Delta Pi will be reviewed.
By Helen Beth Faubion, c'43
The Kappa colors are light blue and dark blue. The flower which they have adopted is the Fleur-de-Lis. The Kappa pin is a gold key with 15 pearls, 12 at the head and three at the other end. The key of Kappa Kappa Gamma has ever stood for high ideals among women and its wearsers have always been respected and admired by all who knew them.
During the World War the Kappas were active in working as nurses and volunteer workers.
All students enrolled in flight training are urged to leave their new semester's schedules at Prof. Earl D. Hay's office before Friday evening. These schedules are necessary in order to make out new flight plans for the new semester.

Norma Tibbets Gets Pig Tails at Fiji Party
By Vivian Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
The week end, which began Friday night with the Pi K. A.'s Twelfth Street party, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon's Inter-Fraternity ball and Watkins hall winter dance closed last night with the I. S.A. political dance at the Memorial Union building ballroom and the traditional Phi Gamma?
The Pig Dinner
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity held its forty-first annual Pig Dinner last night at the chapter house. The guests were received in the Jinx Room where they danced until the six course dinner was served in the dining room. Clyde Smith furnished the music between courses and during the evening.
Lee Pitts, traditional head waiter at all Pig Dinners, carved the head from the pig and passed it around on a platter, to be kissed by every person present. The tail of the pig was presented to Norma Tibbets, the youngest girl present. As the guests came into the Jinx room, Fiji, the diminutive colored mascot in native dress, gave them programs. The favors were gold link necklaces with the fraternity crest.
The first floor was decorated with Southern smilax, while the walls of the Jinx room were covered with purple and white, the fraternity colors. The band played from a huge white shell, dotted with purple stars.
The chaperons were Mrs. C. A.

There is a variety of shoe styles that are "the nertz" as far as sport styles are concerned. Plain cap toes and the subdued bootmakers' finish characterize the dressier sport models, while rubber-soled types are featuring a hard sole with blucher and moccasin toes, preferably minutely perforated with large half-holes. Good-looking feet have been known to be as effective as a good head, so these suggestions might turn the trick—especially since it's leap year.
Shirts, ties sox and handkerchiefs are simple to choose from, because the colors are there for you. Stick to good contrasting accessories for more effectiveness, and remember to wear dark with light suits (except for the shirts) and light (including the shirts) with dark suits. Ties which contrast

The Cyclones Are Next
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
A few facts and fancies from the realm of sports by one who is still doubting those Friday night goings-on. What with the way the varsity connected against the frosh, the way Arturo Godoy stayed 15 heats with Joe Louis, and the way Jimmy McNatt chalked up 30 (count them) points against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
McNatt's rampage, which incidentally broke his old scoring mark of 29 points for a single game, makes me wonder about Sidney Held, the Huskers' sterling sophomore guard whom most of the scribes around the circuit have been tabbing the best find of the year . . . If the tall Nebraskan did not start out guarding the sizzling Sooner, Coach Harold Browne surely switched him on to McNatt early in the game . . . Iowa State hung up its first conference win of the season at the expense of Kansas State when Gordon Nicholas found his basket eye to tally 17 points . . . The rugged Cyclone pivot doubled his scoring total for the year as he had scored only 17 in his first four games.
Year in and year out the smaller colleges of the state grab up many fine track stars that really should come to Mt. Oread for their book learnin' . . . Emporia State landed three standouts in "Ch u c k" Zarker, little Topeka miler; Clarence Amos, state quarter-mile champ from Fredonia; and Ranolph Woelk, the Goessel boy who went under 4:30 at the K.U. inter-scholastic meet here last spring.
Reports from the East prior to Glenn Cunningham's Friday night bow to Chuck Fenske in a 4:13.5 mile indicated that the race might be the Kansas miller's last . . . How about that talk of him doing a special job at K.C. when the Big Six teams hold their indoor meet there next month . . . And how can we get along without a specialty act from Glenn when the Relays roll around . . . E. L. Falkenstein announced that 316 persons paid $54.25 to see the charity game between the Varsity and Fresh Friday night. The average price paid was 17 cents . . . Villanova, 1940 grid opponent of the Jayhawkers, will have to get a new football coach now that "Clipper" Smith resigned to take a job at Loyola of Los Angeles . . . Smith's teams had lost only two games in the last three years.
Bruce Reid, departed Jayhawker eager, has hooked up with the Bluff City independents and in his first start picked up 13 points against the Wichita Universals . . . Missouri avenged an early season defeat Friday night when Washington University was turned back, 35 to 26, in Brewer fieldhouse . . . Blaine Currency set the pace with nine points.
Kansas Resumes Conference Play Tomorrow Night
It will be a case of necessity being the mother of victory for the Kansas Jayhawkers as they pull into the back stretch of the Big Six basketball race with a conference battle against Iowa State at 7:30 tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
Trailing in third place behind Oklahoma's fast tracking Sooners and a tough Tiger from Missouri, the Kansan encounter the first of a sizable series of foes they must defeat to remain in the championship battle.
Cyclones Finally Win
Iowa State, until Friday night the last place team, unwrapped its strong potential offensive for the first time in conference competition as Kansas State was toppled, 45 to 32. The Cyclones
victory, combined with Oklahoma's 45 to 28 win over Nebraska, dropped the Huskers into the cellar spot.
Leading the Iowa's sharpshooting legions will be Gordon Nichols, the lanky center who caged 17 points in the Kansas State victory. Bob Menzel, son of the Cyclone coach, is a consistent point-making guard.
First Since Husker Game
The Jayhawkers will be making a re-entry into Big Six play having played no contests since the Nebraska game here Jan. 23. In heading into the final stages of the title scramble, Dr. F. C. Allen's squad must be set to move through their remaining six conference foes without

defeat if they are to bring Mt. Oread its eighth Big Six pennant.
In its final tune up for the Iowa State meeting, Kansas galloped past the Jayhawker Freshmen Friday night 63 to 29 in a contest played for the Finnish relief and infantile paralysis funds.
Sub Teams Frolic
Before a small crowd which saw more comedy than basketball and got more laughs than thrills, the Varsity used second and third string quintets through most of the high-scoring exhibition. Substitutions were made with nearly the same frequency as baskets, Doctor Allen using 17 from the Varsity and the Frosh sending 18 men into action.
Although he played only 15 minutes, Ralph Miller dropped in baskets with unerring aim to total 13 points for high honors. Bob Allen, sweeping down the side court repeatedly to sink his one-handed shot, counted 12 points for the Varsity.
It was a handicapped Frosh squad that played a hopeless game tomm

Varsity Leads Early, 21 to 4
Sparked by Miller, the Varsity sway ahead in the opening seconds and pulled away steadily to lead 21 to 4 at the first quarter. Then Varsity reserves were sent in and the Freshmen took up a scoring tempo which closed the gap to 28 to 15 at the half.
The regulars returned to the contest at the start of the second a.d. re-turned the game into a scoring rout. But the third period mark, the lead had reached 48-19.
The Varsity won an early season tilt 44 to 22.
John Kline, Varsity guard, was withheld from play so that an injured finger might not be endangered.
Vance Hall, Frosh forward, was the top offensive man on his team garnering 7 points. Marvin Sollenberger saw action during most of the contest and carried a big share of the Freshman defensive load.

Congratulations, Mrs. W. A. White
Yesterday was the birthday of William Allen White.
Tribute is not paid to the famous Emporian, however, nor to his son, William Lindsay White, now making a name for himself as foreign correspondent in Finland. Instead, the birthday congratulations offered here are to that incomparable woman, Sally Lindsay White, who rarely emerges from the background provided by her brilliant husband and son.
April 27, 1893, Sally Lindsay married William Allen White. She was a school teacher in Kansas City, Kan. He was an editorial writer on the Kansas City Star. Two years later, White borrowed money to purchase the Emporia Gazette, went to Emporia to live.
Sally Lindsay White sets a good table in the Kansas tradition. But in addition to being a homemaker for a busy man, she has been his constant companion and aid, his listening post and his critic.
Hospitality, always the keynote of the White home, has been extended alike to the great, the near-great, and the plain folk, regardless of race, color, or creed. Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and Hoover have been entertained there. Famous authors, critics, artists, the successful and the unsuccessful, the rich and the poor, have found refuge and encouragement at this home.
On her husband's seventy-second birthday, the may pause with pride to survey her work. Without her encouragement, Kansas could not have known the great, wise, and loyal editor of
Take a Wassermann!
For a third year, Hill students have been offered Wassermann examinations as a voluntary part of the hospitalization program maintained or them at Watkins Memorial hospital.
"Jeeter-bogus," says Morton Margolin in the Daily Nebraskan, is a term for jumping up and down in the same place without doing anything constructive.
Without reason last term, students failed to take advantage of this modern health service and, consequently, did not cooperate in a nationwide anti-syphilis drive. This year less than one hundred students have taken the test as compared with approximately one thousand at this time in 1938.
Personal advantages of the Wassermann plan can not be denied. The procedure of administering, treating, and recording data regarding examinations and cases is free both from publicity and from red tape. Cases of diseases not in an advanced stage are allowed to remain in school.
Although present statistics show only threetenths of one per cent of students are affected by syphilis and other diseases,only intelligent and consistent medical observation and treatment can keep this figure from becoming larger.

Such figures do not compare favorably with the progress of the national campaign against venereal diseases promoted intensively in the past year. Five million dollars were appropriated by the government to increase the campaign fund. Kansas University students might well use their allotted share of this money.

Take a bow, Mrs. White. You've done a good job, both with Old Bill and with Young Bill.

Friday's examples of professorial wit should be given this noteworthy addition. Prof. Bob Calderwood spent half an hour explaining a phase of the subject to a speech class and advised the students to remember his discussion. Said he: "If you get all this in your head, you'll have it in a nutshell."
From the samples we've heard, faculty wisecracks have been mostly well put. But the jokes that are being originated and perpetuated by the undergraduates seem destined to follow indefinitely the same rut. In fact, campus humor has reacted such a state of monotony that some student can become immortal by saying something which Confucius didn't.

With the announcement of curriculum changes which will attempt to balance specialized and generalized study, we presume Harvard men now will be required to broaden their education, as well as their pronunciation of "a".
From the Michigan State News: "It may not be dangerous, but a little knowledge did not help the physiology student who wrote the following answers in an exam:
"Enzyme—Officer in U. S. navy.
"Red Corpuscle—Non-com in the Soviet army.
"Hormone—Fellow who plays halfback for Michigan U. First name is Tom."

J. Edgar Hoover says his F.B.I. is found in Miami, Fla., evidence of local "graft, corruption and inefficiency." Miami apparently must suffer not only from Kansas City style weather but also from Kansas City style politics.
Pity the poor student who takes a course for a pipe only to find that it's a loaded cigar.
An item in the Daily Californian certainly is not complimentary to the mentality of this college world. At the California U. student hospital, staff physicians were efficiently performing a Wasserman test on a student. When the blood sample had been taken, he asked, "When will I know what the calcium count of my blood is?"
"Calcium count? This is a Wassermann test," he was told.

"A Wassermann," the student ex- ploded, "I came in to have my dandruff cured."

Chemists have perfected synthetic materials which make it possible to manufacture felt hats without fur, wool or hair. You'd think that science could contribute infinitely more to humanity by investigating the decorative monstrosities on women's headwear.
Dear Sir: Education is the process of convincing fools that that's what they are. F.Y.
We heard an argument recently in which two campus intellectuals of slightly different mental temperaments were debating the possibilities of American entrance into the war. One took the brighter side, holding that the war probably wouldn't last much longer. His verbal adversary thereupon branded him "an optimist and a fool," adding that "all optimists are fools."
The latter student, however, was mistaken. There is really a distinct difference between an optimist and a fool. For instance, an optimist is somebody who thinks he can beat a marble machine. A fool is somebody who's sure he can.

FRENCH LIBERTY DIES
To the Editor:
The latest French decree provides sentences up to two years and fines of $110 for a person who opens his mouth and speaks some sentences which a policeman may find are "false assertions which, presented as personal opinions, correspond in reality to the keynote of enemy propaganda and which, expressed publicly, indicate the marked intention of their authors to injure national defense by attacking the morale of the army and population."
With this decree, the Daladier government places the last shovel of dirt upon the grave of French liberty.
This is the war for "democracy and civilization." It finds the French people shackled with the same

LET'S STUDY BRIDGE To the Editor:
Aside from preparing its students for the professional field, it is my conception that the main aim of a college is to create and stimulate an interest in the cultural side of life, in order that students may use their leisure time to greater advantage.
Of course there immediately arise questions as to what are cultural courses. For my purpose I shall limit myself to courses which pertain directly to hobbies and the spending of leisure time.

Gevene Landrith asks Jimmy Robertson what it was that girl lost at the Astor. And we thought the modern maids had let the Vestal fires go out long ago.
Lou Fockele writes that a long distance call to Mary Robeline Scott during Christmas cost him $1.90 and netted him nothing but a few hours of heated frustration, not even a letter. Since Fockele is wondering why Miss Scott never writes we could tell him she would—were Geologist Carl Becker inclined to give her time off from courtin'.
Something besides smoke is clouding up over the Phire Delt Cinder Chateau. Bud Tholen's return to school is almost bound to complicate the present Sammy Sifers and Maxine Miller arrangement.

Pitter patter, bits of chatter; Jimmy Robertson calling Chestine Wilson to find whether to use Lux or Ivory soap. (Ed. note: Try Lifebuoy and keep in the running, Robertson, Nelson, et al, are pretty fast boys) . . . Bill Fitzgerald, now on a Manhattan paper back in town and still using his "I'm a heel" line . . . Pi K. A. Howard Dunham has a date with Chi O. Betty Lou Current for the Twelfth Street Rag party and she turns up 45 minutes late—30 minutes overtime to get ready and 15 to go . . .
Dr. R. A. Schweglier receives a call supposedly from the Chancellor's residence informing him that Chancellor Malott was ill with, to put it delicately, a stomach ache. The
chancellor was quite hale and hearty when the doctor arrived. The police traced the call to the Phi Delt house. One would think the Phire Delts would become tired of being burned up.
Kappa Sig Jason Yordy, for lack of something to do in American Government, takes his date, Gamma Phi Ada Lee Fuller, to class with him. The next thing we know the Kappa Sigs will be taking blankets and portable radios to their classes, too.
Earl Clark and Jack Dunagin spent a whole week at the Mardi Gras in New Orleans but all they seem to remember is, call Magnolia 4874 and ask for Norma.

Four Concert Dates Set For Orchestra
Four concerts are included in the spring schedule of the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra which was announced yesterday by the group's director, Karl Kuersteiner.
On April 4, the orchestra will present the first performance of "Fairy Suite," composed by Carl Preyer, professor of piano, and orchestrated by Mr. Kuersteiner. The program will be climaxed by the symphonic suite "Scheherazade," (Rimsky-Korsakov).
In announcing the spring concert schedule, Mr. Kuersteiner also listed the names of 15 new members of the orchestra, and, saying that in some few instances there were still openings in the group, urged those interested to see him immediately.
Highlighting the annual Music Week, the orchestra will offer on May 1, an all-Bach program which will include the "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major." The Westminster A Cappella Choir will join with the orchestra to present the German composer's "Magnificat."
A concert of original orchestrations on May 9 will be followed by the final presentation of the season, a program in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium on May 18.
New members of the orchestra are: violins; Morton Green, gr; Jean Entriken, fa'42; Eunice Lovett, b'41; and Mrs. Mildred King. Viola: Louise Greenlee, fa'40. Cello: Kathryn Cooper. Bass: Velma Cassel, fa'41; Joseph Langworthy, c'40; William Jackson, fa'40. Oboe: Robert Pine, fa'41. Flute: Olga Carl, fa'42. Brass Lloyd Reist, fa'41; Jack Miller, c'40; George Dewre, Herbert Hamilin, e'41.
You Said It!—
(Continued from page six) mand that practically all classes of society have created, I feel that the college should offer a course in the study of the game of cards from any moral standpoint; I wish only to observe that social amenities require some knowledge of this game.
In our university the practice of offering practical courses of this nature is not new. The department of speech now has a course in movies. The department of physical education offers courses in social dancing, fencing, equitation, golf, tennis, and swimming.
Educators for years fought the introduction of the above mentioned courses to the curriculum; they should now realize their value, as well as that of bridge, as essential to well-rounded, cultural, development.

Campus Patrolman Issues A Final Warning to Motorists
Campus Patrolman George Snyder issued a final warning to campus motorists yesterday that all traffic and parking regulations will again be enforced beginning tomorrow.
Snyder said all stop signs and the speed limit of 20 miles per hour must be observed. "Parking in the wrong zone, also, will be penalized," the officer concluded, "for it is just as wrong as parking in the street."
Hell Week Was Abolished in 1937
But Ask a Greek Neophyte
By Wandalee Carlson, c'42
Mt. Oread's annual Hell Week will take its usual toll in tortured pledges this month, although the activities of Greek initiation ceremonies will be somewhat subdued, unofficial and in some cases masked by virtuous names.
This was indicated yesterday as some fraternities and sororites prepared to carry out plans for the mid-year hazing of new initiates even in the face of opposition from the administration and of discouragement from the two Pan-Hellenic councils. Most organizations have been warned also by their national headquarters to cease Hell Week activities, as it was giving fraternities on the whole a "black eve."
In 1937 the men's Pan-Hellenic council passed a rule to the effect that Hell Week was to be abolished and a three day pre-initiation ceremony substituted, with the ceremony being held on the premises of the organization. Penalty for violation was to be a $50 fine.
In the past the fraternities and sororites have subjected their pledges to tortures that have resulted in both physical and mental anguish. The sororites used somewhat gentler means when they reduced the pledges to a state of humility. Physical exposure, seavanger hunts, and even branding with a red hot iron were favorites when Hell Week was at its peak in fraternities.
Those who indicated that they planned to make things generally uncomfortable for their pledges were keeping their plans a secret. This week of ordeal will be disguised under such names as "education" "health," etc.
During the '29-'30 Hell Week some 31 pledges were arrested with the complaint that they were prowling around dressed as hoboes. One group was even found in a poultry house counting chickens. The point was that the "hoboes" could not be listinguished from real chicken

Juggled Cast Opens Play Tonight
The show still goes on, but the jinx still hangs high. Prof. Robert Calderwood, directing the Dramatic Club's "Quality Street" opening tonight in Fraser Theater, received word yesterday that another in his troupe is out of the show.
Marvin Moon, c'40, has been in Watkins Memorial hospital for several days suffering from laryngitis. Yesterday, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of student health service, pronounced him unable to continue with the play.
With 24 hours to go and one scheduled dress rehearsal to be given last night, Director Calderwood did some quick role-juggling and handed Frederick Fleming the part Moon had been playing. Fleming, who is official prompler for the play and carried a small part, has learned the speeches pronounced by Lt. Spicer during the third act of "Quality Street." The custaining character which Fleming formerly enacted has been dropped.
Leading roles in "Quality Street", are split three ways. The part of Phoebe, the one played and made famous by Maude Adams when she brought the play over from England, is enacted by Mary Noel, c'40.
Sister to Phoebe is the character role of Susan, eldest of the two Throslors sisters who hold forth in the Blue and White room of the home in Quality street. Shirley Jane Ruble, c'41, plays Susan.
The male lead is Captain Valentine Brown, who is a friend of both sisters in the first act, but who falls in love with Phoebe in the last act. The role is enacted by Jack Nelson, gr.

Thieves netted $6 in cash, some chewing gum, and a half box of cigars, when they broke into two Hill establishments Saturday night.
Both the Rock Chalk cafe and the recreation room of the Memorial Union building were entered through open windows early Sunday morning. The cash register was carried from the Union building to Dyche museum where $5 was removed from the cash drawer.
The loot at the Rock Chalk consisted of 100 pennies, chewing gum and cigars. Entrance to the building was made through a window on the south side of the building. The cafe closed at 1 a.m. Sunday morning.
Class of 1915 To Hold Meet
The class of 1915 will hold its twenty-five year reunion here at Commencement time, June 8, 9, and 10, it was learned yesterday. The reunion committee is as follows: Arthur B. Weaver, chairman, Lawrence; Don Joseph, class president, Whitewater; Madeline Nachtman Hurd, Topeka; Hugo T. Wedell, Topeka; and Agnes Engel, Kansas City, Mo.
In the past years, some of the classes have had more than a third of their members back for 25 year reunions. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, said today. There are 325 living members of the class of 1915.
Other classes which will hold reunions this year are the class of 1900, the class of 1930, and the class of 1890 which will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.
To Hold Debate Tourney Here
Teams from 30 class A, B, and C Kansas high schools will participate in the state debate tournament to be held here Friday and Saturday.
Each school will be represented by a four-member team, two affirmative and two negative speakers, and as many alternates it desires. According to H. G. Ingham, director of the University extension division, approximately 200 high school debaters and coaches are expected to attend.
First round debates for class B schools are scheduled for 1 o'clock Friday afternoon, with class A and C debates at 2:20. Tournament debates Friday will be conducted on a round-robin plan, and the winners selected on the point system. The two teams ranking highest in each bracket will meet the two high teams of the other bracket in an elimination schedule Saturday. Judges for the debates will be faculty members, advanced debate students, and townspeople.

P.S.G.L. No To Athletic Board Plea
By Roscoe Born, c'41
A P.S.G.L.-controlled Men's Student Council last night reiterated a previous denial to the Athletic Association's plea for funds by enforcing a rule which technically kept the issue off the Council floor.
The rule as explained by president C. H. Mullen, 1'42, says that for the council to reconsider a question it formerly turned down, the issue must be reopened by a member who helped to defeat the measure.
Oakson Demands Action
When the grant first came before the Council for approval, F.S.G.L voted against the measure to a man, while Pachacamac, with the exception of Ed Page, 1'40, stood in support. According to the rule then, either Page or a P.S.G.L. Councilman would be required to reopen the question before the Council can consider the proposal again. All refused to put the question on the floor, despite the attempts of the Pachacamac Councilmen to resurrect the proposal.
Pushed by Pachacamac John Oakson, c'40, Mullen finally agreed to appoint a committee "to look into the matter further." Oliver Edwards, c'41, P.S.G.L., will head the five-man committee.
Set Election Date
Time for the political hullabuloo of spring elections was set by Councilmen last night for April 18. All graduate students taking three hours or more will be eligible to vote also.
Another bill passed eliminated the positions of class dance managers from the M.S.C. elections.
Bob Moore, e'40, was inducted into the Council last night to fill the vacancy created by the graduation of Weaver McCaslin. McCaslin's post as vice-president of the Council was filled by Brewster Fowers, e'40, who has served on the Council since fall.
The Council appropriated $10 to help supply Watkins Memorial hospital with magazine subscriptions for patients.

Hill Greeks Plan Initiations
Blouses Are 'The Thing' This Spring
Frothy and frilly as a valentine, are the batiste blouses to be worn under tailored navy and black suits and dressier cardigans. The idea is carried over from last season but only serves to emphasize the trend toward softened and feminized styles of this spring.
The new blouses are known by a multitude of names, cherub, doll, or baby blouses, but they all are made of soft French finish, sheer batiste with yards of imported Valtype lace with rows of baby tucks.
The orchid petal blouse, one of the most unusual of the blossoms offered, has a yolk composed of delicate pin tucks made to form petals around the neck. Inside the petals, are rows of lace.
Eyelet embroidery will be important this spring on the flower fresh organdies, used either as an all-over pattern or on organdy vestees set in the batiste blouses.
As a change from last spring, many are made with soft, flowing, long bishop sleeves, although short puffed ones will be more popular in the late spring months.
If you are not the feminine type but want to rejuvenate last year's spring suit or set off your new one, try the precision-cut, classic, tailored shirt. This season's rayon or silk shirts come in the new colors with stitching, pleat work, and pin tucks. Various styles of collars are offered and include the rounded boyish or Johnny collar, the club collar, the Barrymore collar and the practical hi-low collar, worn up or down.
No matter what type selected, the serving suits call for new blouses.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!
"GONE WITH THE WIND"
AN OPEN LETTER: It's surprising the number of rumors one hears about "Gone With the Wind." The Dickinson Theatre has an average of 28 phone calls every day asking if "Gone With the Wind" will be cut when it is shown in Lawrence. In every instance the party calling has stated they heard the rumor that "Gone With the Wind" would be cut in Kansas. This is a false rumor. "Gone With the Wind" will be shown in Lawrence at the Dickinson Theatre exactly as it was shown in its world premiere at Atlanta, Kansas City and every city in America. There has never been any intention of cutting the picture in any way. The running time of "Gone Withe the Wind" is 3 hours and 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission making a full 4-hour show.

For Valentines Day,
The Coed Wants Flowers
One of the oldest ways of saying "I love you," on Valentine's Day, is with flowers. This year the florists are helping the swains with the problem of what to send to that "best girl."
If you are fortunate enough to receive a nosegay, you will be faced with the problem of how to keep it fresh. Remove part of the paper bound around the stems and put them in water. The flowers will lost longer if the stems are left wired together, the florist advises.
A colonial bouquet or nosegay made up of roses and spring flowers, surrounded with a paper frill and tied with yards of ribbon, will make any co-ed's heart beat faster. The nosegays come in a wide range of prices, varying from inexpensive to more costly ones.
Next in popularity are the Valentine corsages, including gardenias, violets, and camellias in different arrangements.
Orchid corsages are made for the man who really wants to show his appreciation. Formerly they were surrounded by lilies of the valley, but due to the war, the plants can no longer be obtained from Germany. For the benefit of the man with the slim purse, sweet peas make the nicest showing for the least money.
Mixed spring bouquets make a close third in popularity for Valentines while potted plants of hyacinths, violets, and cinerarias trail behind. According to the florists, students send cut flowers while town people prefer the growing flowers for homes.
If the choice of flowers is left to a man, the florists say, he will select red roses. Women realize the wide variety grown to choose from and order many types. Their favorites are the Talisman roses and the new English rose, the Queen Mary

Cyclone Drive Fails
S
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
After tonight the Kansas basketball team will be in second place in the Big Six standings. Oklahoma and Missouri tangle at Norman and the team that loses will be shoved down into third place with two defeats. The Sooner officials are expecting 6,000 for the battle.
Contrary to history, the 49ers are leading the "Pony Express." Bob Allen and Ralph Miller have each collected 49 points in the Jayhawkers' five league tilts, and are tied for second place in the individual scoring race.
Harold Keith of Oklahoma was really beating the drums for one of his boys when he came up with this one: "When Marvin Snodgrass, 6-foot, 170-pound human handcuff of the University of Oklahoma basketball team, stopped Sidney Held, Nebraska scoring leader, without a point here Friday night, he caused Sooner fans to wonder if he isn't as fine a Sooner defensive guard as ever waved a sweaty hand across an opponent's line of vision." You tell 'em, Butch.
The Jayhawkers will play host to the Kansas State indoor cinder team here Thursday afternoon on the track Bill Hargiss has rigged up under the stadium. I'm putting in my bid early for a seat so I can see the "one man gang" toss the shot with his left paw.
Notes on last night's game with the Cyclones: the Jayhawkers missed 81 per cent of their shots, hitting only 14 out of 72 . . . Here's the averages on the only three Kansans that tallied: Miller, 7 out of 26; Ebling, 4 out of 13; and Allen 3 out of 13 . . . Ray Ebling, the former All-America star was in the stands and watched his little brother turn in a sparkling exhibition . . . If "Phog" Allen had a water boy as tall as Iowa State's, he would probably be playing regularly. Carol Schneider, the 6 foot 6 inch reserve center, carried the water jug to his mates . . . In the first loop game the Cyclones played this year Schneider tallied 13 points, but has been able to score but one basket in five games since then . . . Ralph Miller was having a bad night with his shots and still scored 15 points . . . Bob Menze got a big hand when he had to leave the game with four fouls. The coach's son is a great player and sportsman and has overcome the handicaps of size and vision . . . Bob Harris, the shooting red-head, is a far cry from the sophomore Harris of last year who finished high up in the scoring standings and was named on several all-conference teams.

By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
Iowa State put up a stubborn fight in Hoch auditorium, especially in the last three minutes when an eight-point rally fell just one goal short. The Jayhawkers won 36 to 34 to pull up slightly on the league-leading Oklahoma and second place Missouri clubs and hang up their nineteenth consecutive victory on the home planks.
The "Pony Express" had a tough time weathering a Cyclone last night as it appeared most of the hands were looking ahead to Thursday night when they ride against the Cowboys of Oklahoma A. and M. in one of the season's featured round-ups.
Jump To Early Advantage
Kansas went out after an early 12 to 3 lead and were ahead 36 to 26 with all but three minutes gone, but four quick Cyclone goals in the waning minutes threw a full fledged scare into the partisan crowd of some 3,000
Only three of the pony boys figured in the scoring column, as Ralph Miller set the pace with 15, Don Ebling chalked up 13, and Bob Allen got 8. Miller's 15 allowed him to just catch up with Allen in the Big Six conference scoring race, both of them now having 49 points for five games. They are tied for second place behind Jimmy McNatt for Oklahoma, but are considerably back of the Sooner ring-leader who is averaging 14.3 points a game.
Ebling Hits Three Quickly
It was Miller who started the Kansans with a long side shot after the Cyclones had counted first on Don Carlos' bucket from in close. Then
Littler of Nebraska is undoubtedly the best 440 dash man in the Big Six. Formerly of Compton Junior College on the west coast he ran as a freshman for Nebraska last year, winning the national junior
BOB MENZE
Jayhawker-Husker Dual Meet Rebounds
Probably the outstanding Kansas men in the meet were Don Thompson, who won the half mile race, and Bill Greene who finished second in the quarter mile behind Littler, who set a new record of 50.1 in taking this event. Greene's performance in second place also bettered the old record.
But for the rest of the period everything seemed to go wrong with the attack and Iowa State pulled up within four points. At the halftime gun the Jayhawks led, 18 to 14.
The Cyclone Spark-badly by a severe cold. He had been expected to win this event, but Brooks of Nebraska coasted in a good 10 yards the victor as the winded Harris gave up in the final stretch. The Big Six meet this spring should see a great race between Harris of Kansas, Brooks of Nebraska, and Munski of Missouri
Ebling began banging them in from close quarters to send the Jays into the lead. Bob Allen's pair of setups after passes from Miller and Dick Harp gave Kansas a 12 to 3 bulge with only eight minutes gone.
10
By Charles Skidmore
J. R. Jones placed second in the broad jump and only a case of jitters kept him out of first place, as two of his disallowed leaps beat the winning jump of 22 feet $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches. On the field below the stadium the run-way is on a curve, and it is impossible to see the sand from the starting point. His two tries which were disqualified were 22 feet and $2 \frac{1}{4}$ inches and 22 feet and 4 inches. Harris got only second in his specialty, the mile being hindered.
(The following are sidelights on the Kansas-Nebraska track meet last Saturday as given by Gordon "Sam" Clucas, gr., former K.U. track star and present track trainer.) The Nebraska team was in much better condition than the K.U. group because finals in that school occurred a week sooner. Most of the Kansas boys had trained seriously only the past week, since finals were completed, and were actually in no shape to meet Nebraska.
Miller hadn't counted but two baskets in the first half, but he began running circles around his guard in the last period to pour in 11 points and take high scoring honors for the evening away from Ebling.
Ted Scott, Kansas 60-yard man, pulled a tendon in his left thigh, team. Running the first quarter he turned in a fine race to lead the K.U. relay team to victory in this event.
A. A.U. 200-meter sprint and getting second in the 100-meter sprint. Against Kansas Saturday he garnered first in the 440-yard dash, and the 60-yard sprint, and placed in the broad jump. He will be the favorite in the 440 this season over Mathes of Kansas, although at Lincoln the K.U. had trailed at the finish line by a scant 2 feet.
Ray Ebling A Spectator
However, it was Ebling, performing before his all-American brother, Ray, who kept his mates ahead in the early part of the chukker with three straight hits from the foul line and a beautiful arch shot from afar.
From then on Miller monopolized the Kansas scoring, save one side shot by Allen midway in the half. He was hitting them from long range, driving in for shots, and connecting on spinners from just a short wav out.
All the while the Cyclones were whitling away at the Kansas lead, Gordon Nicholas, huking center who collected seven points during the contest, banged in two quick shots with about eight minutes gone to pull his team up to 21-25. A little later Don
O'Hara exceeded Coach Hargiss's expectations in the pole vaulting event when he bettered 12 feet for the first time. He went over the bar at 12 feet and 4 inches to tie Devins also of Kansas for second.
Sig Ep's Capture 19-17 Victory From Sigma Chi's
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Suffering its fourth straight loss of the season, Sigma Chi, early season pacesetter, fell before a greatly improved Sigma Phi Epsilon five 17 to 19. A long bank shot by Bob Cooper, ace Sig Ep guard, with a minute to play, put the game on ice for his team.
A few seconds after Cooper's goal, Kresie, Sig Ep, sank a free throw to improve the lead. Bill Hyer, Sigma Chi, paced his teammates to a first half lead of 10 to 9, tallying three buckets from the field.
Phi Kappa Psi gained a 500 rating for the season by an impressive 44 to 14 victory over the Acacia five. Nolan and Nelson, Phi Psi forwards, were 'hot' gathering 14 and 11 points respectively. Clint Wood, diminutive Acacia guard, kept his team in the game, hitting the hoop for 5 goals and a charity toss.
As a result of a 21 to 12 win over the Warriors, ISA-4 moved into a third place tie with Rock Chalk in Division III. All seven members of the ISA-4 squad scored. The ISA outfit moved into the front from the start, holding a halftime lead of 11 to 4. The Dominoes II secured an easy triumph over ISA-3, winning by force fit.
The defending champion Galloping Ghosts rang up their sixth consecutive win, defeating the Ohio Ichabods 33 to 18. The Ohio Ichabods have been unable to enter the victory column in seven starts. Westehouse, hefty Ghost center, was high point man with 12 counters. Coffin and Kelly, two aces of last year's great team, were off their usual standard of play. Neither could locate the basket.
With three minutes left and the Jayhawkers seemingly well ahead with a 36 to 26 margin, Al Buldolphson and Bob Harris tossed in two baskets apiece and there was still over a minute to go with the score standing 36-34, Kansas.
Carlos and Lange took up the slack and they were trailing at 25-29.
Capt. Harp, who turned in a fine game grabbing rebounds off the Cyclone goal, called for the stall and Iowa State was trying desperately to get the leather for one last try at the basket. With seconds to go they got the ball out of bounds when a Kansas player took steps, but the "clutch" shot was erring.
The game was rough most of the way, but the only player who was waved to the bench via the foul route was Bob Menze, flashy little guard who quarterbacked his father's team in fine style. Al Budolphson, the Cyclones' prize sophomore, paced the visiting attack with nine points.

Students are becoming more and more flower conscious on Valentine's Day, says one manager of alower school. Ninety per cent of his Valentine's trade is done with University students.
He also says that men, if left to their own devices, choose roses, colonial bouquets, gardenias, and orchids in that order. Women when ordering flowers, chose mixed bouquets, spring bouquets, and pottery novelties.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
But the War's Not Over Yet-win the war, the name Germany will disappear from the map. All that would be left of a once powerful state would be the four regencies of Hanover, Westphalis, Pomerania and Brunswick, forming a loose federation under the control of British interests.
They're counting their chickens before they're hatched.
Two groups of British optimists are already hard at work laying the foundations for a new Europe after the current war is over. Both groups are depending upon Germany losing the struggle and upon British dominating Europe, but their peace plans have little else in common.
One group plans for a United States of Europe, such as Napoleon envisioned before Waterloo. Europe would be joined in a friendly federation of states, with tariff barriers removed and with uniform laws, customs, and regulations.
Such a system has much to recommend it, for the minority problem would then all but disappear, and the row of armed camps would slowly disintegrate.
The second group of British enthusiasts plans to "atomize" Germany. Under this plan, Czechoslovakia is to be revived and expanded westward over territory that has always been German. Poland and Austria, likewise reestablished, would gain territory at the expense of the Reich. France, Holland, Belgium, and Denmark would each get a slice of German land.
If the atomists prevail, and if England does
Complete breakdown of the negotiations between Washington on the one hand and Chile and Argentina on the other gives an effective answer to those seeking to promote closer economic, political and cultural relations between this country and Latin America. If this country had deliberately planned to curtail its trade with South America and to arouse new distrust, it could not have done it more effectively than when, because of domestic political conditions, it broke off trade agreements with Chile and Argentina.
Only Mutual Trade Can Endure
When Cordell Hull was compelled to sever these ties, he in effect told both those countries to sell their exports elsewhere. Rather than accept exports from them, the United States preferred to curtail the sale of its own products. As a consequence, Argentina must continue to sell her beef, hides, and other farm products to Japan, Britain, France, and other countries, and take in exchange Japanese, British, French, and other manufactured goods. So it will go with Chile.
What this country does not seem to realize is that it can increase its trade with South America only as it increases its purchases; that without buying, there is no selling. Only by taking goods in exchange can South American countries increase their United States trade.
Unfortunately, the adverse economic effects are only part of the story. Our hesitancy in trading with them drives South American countries directly into the arms of those nations who will buy from them. Economic ties thus developed promote both political and cultural relations—relations which the United States would do well to maintain. For no kind of trade can endure between nations who are distrustful of one another, or between whom there are one-sided trade agreements.
The second plan, say its sponsors, would remove the Nazi menace and forever crush the power of the German people. If properly carried out, it would do so. But the whole plan smacks of the Versailles treaty, and the mistakes that caused the present European situation. Minorities, still under foreign domination and the German people, no matter how squelched they might be, would burn with the injustice heaped upon them by a foreign power. Soon there would be more trouble for Europe, more oppression and race purges, and the world would once more go for a ride on the Mars merry-go-round.
And then, as usual, the persevering British would come out with a rival-squashing plan to make the world safe for British democracy.

In the opinion of many fans, the three ring circus staged between halves of the Kansas-Iowa State basketball game last night was unsuccessful. There was just too much going on at the same time. The spectators were unable either to whoop it up for the Indians or to give the tumblers a tumble. And the poor unnoticed clown had practically undressed before most of the onlookers spied him.

Friendly suggestion to the University business office: There is a line on the front of activity books on which students are supposed to sign their names. But the heavy stamp of the business office signifying fees have been paid in many cases so blurs the front of the book that a legible signature can't be written in the proper place. Why not stamp the book on the back?

Again the Daily California carries a report from the California U. student hospital which varies no little from the ordinary run of medical communiques:
A girl waiting in the hall put her head wearily against the wall.
Struck by her attitude, a passing nurse put her hand on the girl's shoulder and asked gently, "Anything wrong?"
The girl sat up, "Oh, no. I'm just waiting for a friend."
Her friend arrived and asked, "Are you all right?"
--ner, or should it be a tool of propaganda in spreading favorable information over the state to make the good taxpayers think that nothing smelling of crime or vice exists on the University campus?
"For the love of Hippocrates," the girl burst out. "All I've got's a hangover."
"Feeling faint?"
With only slight annoyance, the girl repeated, "No, just waiting for a friend."
Another nurse paused before the girl.

To the Editor:
I have not, as yet, noticed any written word expressing the appreciation which, I presumptiously assume, the student reading body feels for the good work the staff is doing this semester with its 8-page tabloid.
The staff as a whole, with special compliments for the editorial and sports departments, is putting out a paper worth a word of commendation—one which I, for one, take pride in and thoroughly enjoy reading.

LAUDS THE NEW KANSAN
To the Editor
With the recent printing of the Palmer bootlegging and the Gentry North fraternity robbery stories, the University Daily Kansan has come in for considerable criticism, both favorable and otherwise. A number of people on the campus are advocating that news of this type should be "played down", or better still, kept entirely out of the school paper. Others say that the proper aim of any newspaper should be "to print all the news as it happens, so long as it is kept free from editorial comment."
First to consider is the question: For whom is the paper written, the students or the people of the state? Should the Kansan print matters which are of interest to the students, in an unbiased and impartial manner, or should it be a tool of propaganda in spreading favorable information over the state to make the good taxpayers think that nothing smelling of crime or vice exists on the University campus?
The Daily Kansan obviously believing that "news is news" and crime and vice are inevitable, printed the accounts as they occurred and considered it only a matter of routine news gathering. Kansan editors, knowing that the city papers would print the stories, chose to stick to their policy, and at the same time scoop the other papers and keep their readers rightly informed.
The Kansan seems to maintain that printing the news in full means more than creating a good opinion by falsifying or slighting distasteful happenings, and I hope it will continue the policy of printing "all the news".

FOR EQUITABLE FEES To the Editor:
★
Speaking of fairness, something should be done about out-of-state fee regulations at this institution. Either they should be abolished, or they should be enforced. There are students all over the campus who come from New York or Connecticut or other states, but who pay only resident fees, because they claim to live in Kansas.

Ray Heady, journalism instructor, ends his rough looking outline for Reporting II with "Please obtain a copy (of the text) by fair means if you expect credit toward graduation and starvation." Graduation but not starvation, Mr. Heady. No sirree, not even if we have to become journalism teachers.
Those raffish Alpha Chi's. Faith Seeley announces her engagement to Harold Dumler. That was all right; it happens in the AC house every other year now days. But the entire chapter ganged up on Faith's room. The result: two dummies, one in a white virginal gown and the other in mannish honeymoon costume lay on the bed. Scattered about the room were bedroom slippers and books. One tome professing to contain all the knowledge pertinent to marital life lay open near the bedside. On the dresser was a large flagon of Lucien Le-Long's "Indescreet." On the door of the room was a sign reading "Room 42. Peace. Don't Disturb." On all bulletin boards were arrows pointing the way to room 42.
Nothing is sacred anymore. Not to the Alpha Chi's at least.
Harry Hill, new publisher of the mag, is determined that it won't be printed. Helen Beth Faubion, managing editor of the Owl, threatens to resign should the questionable article appear. And we thought every thing possible had already happened to that "magazine."
Trouble is brewing. Jimmy Robertson, tired of the cracks about the Sour Owl being a collegiate church quarterly is determined to print an article entitled the "Confessions of a Coed" in the next Owl.

Three attractions for high school students interested in dramatics, science, and journalism have been scheduled for March and April by University departments.
Five hundred high school students and teachers are expected to attend the second annual physical science conference here March 16. High school teachers throughout the state have been invited to bring their outstanding students in chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy to the conference.
The department of speech and dramatic art will sponsor a two-day speech and dramatics festival here March 29-30. Seven divisions of competition will be open: extemporan-

The meeting will be held in Marvin hall auditorium and will be under the direction of Harold Hight, e'40, president of the University chapter of the national society of mechanical engineers.
eous speaking, standard oration, original oration, after-dinner speaking, readings, one-act plays, and radio drama. Awards will be presented to first and second place winner in each division.
Members of the department of journalism will judge the annual Kansas high school newspaper contest sponsored by the department of journalism. Competition will be open in the news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to school, business management and miscellaneous. The deadline for the contest has been set for April 1.
Ban Politics From I.S.A.
With Charlotte Steele, fa'41, elected as new president of the Independent Student Association, the organization has taken steps to keep politics out of I.S.A., Miss Steele announced today.
A new bylaw prohibits any member of the Independent Student Council, governing board of the organization, from participating actively in Hill politics, Miss Steele said. Newly-elected Councilmen will be required to take an office oath to that effect.
Just how "active" a Councilman can be in politics is covered by another newly-accepted bylaw which creates an advisory board of three, with Henry Werner, men's student adviser, as chairman. This board will decide if a member is so active that he must be banned from I.S.A. activity.
A fourth bylaw provides for Independent elections each semester and regular monthly meetings of each district.

The romantic comedy by Sir James M. Barrie carries a cast of 12 student actors and 6 younger thespians from Lawrence schools.
Students may phone the ticket of office or ask at the office in the basement of Green hall and reserve seats at any time, turning in their activity book stubs the night they see the play.
The younger members of the cast include two freshmen from Lawrence Memorial high school, one junior high school student, and three grade school pupils. The six appear in the second act of the play. They are acting the part of children enrolled in the private school of Miss Phoebe Throssel, one of the feminine leads in the production.
Patsy Creel, Fred Six, Laurence Musick, Gus Lundquist, Patty Dixon, and Rosemary Beuhler are the younger members of the cast.

His own common sense and smoking experience tell him what scientists have confirmed in their research laboratories—that's slow-burning cigarettes are extra mild, extra cool, fragrant, and flavorful." Cigarettes that burn fast just naturally burn hot. And nothing so surely wrecks the delicate elements of cigarette flavor and fragrance as excess heat.

Choose Two New W.S.G.A. Members
Two new members were chosen to the W.S.G.A. in the first meeting of the semester last night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Helen Johnson, c'41, and Jean Steele, c'41, were installed as new members replacing Jean Aumiller, c'41, and Winifred Jameson, b'40, who resigned. Jean Steele is the new secretary.
"The W.S.G.A. is very pleased with the results of the point system," said Velma Wilson, c40, president, referring to the measure passed whereby University girls are limited in their activities. "Blanks have been passed out to sororities and already it has had the effect of bringing more women into activities."
The K book bill introduced by Mens Student Council Monday at its meeting was discussed. The principal change would be in the amount of appropriation which the bill, if passed, would lessen the surplus now present.
The Association voted to support a Far Eastern drive on the campus this year.
Discussion was held on the advisability of cooperating with the convocation committee and the M.S.C. in presenting a vocational guidance program. No decision was reached.
W. S.G.A. election will be held March 7. The newly elected president with Velma Wilson, retiring president, will be delegates to the national convention at Iowa City, Iowa, in April.
No Radical Change In Enrollment Figures Expected
Two hundred and ten new students have registered for the spring semester, slightly under the number enrolling last year at this time, George O. Foster, registrar, announced yesterday morning.
No great increase or decrease in present enrollment figures is expected, Foster said. The enrollment for the fall semester was 4,637 by Nov. 1. Complete data cannot be obtained until March when all fees have been paid.

No Club
No Award,
No Story!
E. W. Whitman, 3200 Warwick, Kansas City, Mo., last night denied the existence of "Kansas City's League of Admirers of Redheaded Women," which supposedly elected Betty Jane Boddington, c'40, "1940's Most Fascinating Woman," an annual Valentine's day award of the organization.
Miss Buddington said today she was unacquainted with either Whitman or the organization. According to a local newspaper which last night carried a story with a Kansas City dateline, Whitman was credited with having announced the award.
Whitman last night telegraphed the Kansan as follows: "Kindly kill Betty Jane Boddington story. No such organization exists."
The story to which Whitman referred follows:
"Kansas City, Feb. 13—'1940's Most Fascinating Redhead," that was the title voted last night to Miss Betty Jane Boddington, University of Kansas senior, by Kansas City's League of Admirers of Redheaded Women.
"E. W. Whitman, president of the organization, announced this annual Valentine's day award immediately following last night's meeting. Miss Boddington's home is at 1830 Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kan. She is a member of Gamma Phi Beta.
"In announcing '1940's Most Fascinating Redhead,' Whitman commented on the unusually large number of girls mentioned for the honor this year, and said that Kansas City unquestionably had more than its share of beautiful redheaded women."

that limited the use of Council passes to one's enrollment in the University.
Litttooy said yesterday that the contract signed with Dorsey specifically states that only bona fide press passes would be recognized. Anyone else seeking admission to the dance must pay hard cash, Littooy added.
The news hit the meeting of the W.S.G.A. last night with bombshell force, creating a rumpus which nearly broke up the conference. One member said today that if Littooy, or the M.S.C., attempted to forbid use of passes for the Prom, the W.S.G.A. would institute proceedings to nullify the recently enacted law

By game time only standing room will be available, Falkenstein estimated. As standing room is limited, it appears that the game, always a big attraction, will be a sellout.

'QualityStreet Termed Best Play of Year
By Christopher Vanderveer
"This present production," it reads, "is entirely the work of Robert Calderwood and Don Dixon."
An explanatory note on the printed program for James Barrie's "Quality Street", which opened in Fraser theater last night, might indicate that someone was anxious not to share any of the blame for the local production of the play.
If any one did hear that the play would be a flop he may rest easy for last night's large audience took the play to its heart, laughed at it and even saw the delicate, pointed satire that Brother Barrie had woven into the romantic, four-act comedy-drama.
Jack Nelson Shines
Professors Calderwood and Dixon are hereby granted a loud huzza for directing and staging what many in the audience (and we too) termed the best "play of the year."
Jack Nelson was easily the star of last night's show as the "gallant" Valentine Brown. His part fitted him perfectly; much better than his two costumes, the sleeves of which failed to cover completely the two long Nelson arms. The part of Valentine Brown is a difficult one. He has dozens of long, flowery speeches which, to put across to a modern audience, require an inspired reading. Nelson did it and not once did he let the play down.
A new Mary Noel greeted the first-nighters. She put a fire into her part last night such as she never has lighted before. Her part was that of a female Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr. Hyde. In the first act she was young vivacious Phoebe Throssel. In act two she had aged many years and was Miss Throssel, a puritanical old maid school teacher. In acts three and four she impersonated a fictitious flirtatious niece and appeared also as the old maid.
The supporting cast had but few blemishes and those extremely minor (Continued on page 127)

Valentine's Day Hits Campus
Even though the average coed hasn't the money or the time to go south she need not feel that cruise clothes aren't important. Swim and slack suits designed for fortunate Palm Beachers later will be sold to her for late spring and summer wear. They are direct fashion forecasts for this summer.
Swim suits and play clothes are all designed to call attention to the waistline. Some are left completely separated; others have a corselette waistband which contrasts in color and fabric with the rest of the suit. Stripes, checks, and plain materials are used in large amounts.
Cruise Styles To Forecast For Summer
The soft feminine trend, seen so often in spring styles, makes its appearance in beach clothes. More swim suits are going to have exceedingly short, full skirts. The new ballerina skirt, full, brief, and gathered to a waistband is one of the outstanding features of the beach collection.
The swim suits will be of rayon jerseys, satins, and striped and ribbon printed cottons. Color will be extremely important, either solid or combinations. Red, combined with smoky blue and red, white and navy blue are the leading favorites of the moment. Other prominent colors are yellow, blue, beige, striped cottons, and woffle pliques, are fuller and briefer than last year. Long sleeved shirts are worn atop shorts to make play suits.
Slacks, almost a uniform for a college lass, will be better tailored and many will have a stitched pleat to the waistline in the pastel shades. More white is being used than ever before in the slack suits.
Many of the slacks have smartly tailored jackets with buttons down the front, made of the same fabric and color of the trousers. The wise lass buys several suits in the same material of different colors and switches coats in order to have a variety of costumes.

Lockets are now the most popular item of the varied assortment. Several years ago they did not have a market. But since the recent popularity of the chains with crosses, they have made an extraordinary gain in women's favor.

Fin and clips are the newest acquisitions of the display. The pins are in the forms of swords, daggers and even tiny spoons with the crests on the .n. Enlarged crests are used for the clips.
Come initiation time and gifts for the new initiates are in order. This is when the companies sell the most trinkets, especially to sororities. Just before Christmas is considered another good sales time. The fraternities give their winter formals then and need the crested favors.
"Quality Street" plays tonight and this is not an advertisement but a filler.
Besides the above mentioned gadgets, cigarette cases and lighters, stationery boxes, card cases, evening purses, recognition pins, rings, plaques, billfolds, watch chains, pipes, and compacts are among the $3,000 collection that the salesman presents at each house.

Missouri Goes Into Loop Lead
1
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
Happy valentine day to you all and wouldn't it be something if the Big Six conference basketball race wound up with three teams tied for first place?
Really it wouldn't be too hard to accomplish. If Kansas beats Missouri here March 1 and loses to Oklahoma at Norman March 8, and the three leaders win all the rest, the final standings would read: Kansas 8-2, Missouri 8-2, Oklahoma 8-2.
And just for the fun of it how about supposing the other three teams wind up deadlocked for last place with 2 and 8. If the three leaders win their remaining games against the second division, and Iowa State whips Nebraska at Ames, that's the way it'll be.
The ineligibility of Bob Stoland is just about the last straw as far as Coach Bill Hargiss is concerned. Little hope had been held this year for a team that could win meets, but it was expected to have a pair of performers in Ray Harris and Stoland that could capture individual honors as the campaign unfolded. In the 26 hours that Stoland had carried during the two preceding semesters he had made all "A" and "B" grades. It is understood that he had also taken one course that he had not enrolled in, but that did not meet the requirement of passing 27 hours in the two semesters before competition.
Dean Paul B. Lawson said "Stoland is the type of athlete we like to have represent the University, but there is nothing I can do to alter the eligibility requirements."
Frank Tallman of Nebraska went on a spree against Kansas State last night to chalk up 23 points, only four less than he had tallied in the Husker's previous seven games . . . The appearance of Don Fitz and Harry Pitcaithley in the line-up must have been the spark the Huskers needed as they reached a new ceiling for Big Six scoring this year . . . John Lobsiger, the Missouri seige-gun who has been laying off in the scoring department this season, went to town with the cirps on the line last night as he tossed in five field goals to lead the Tigers to victory over Oklahoma . . . One would have thought Coach George Edwards would have sicked Lobsiger on the Sooner's high - scoring Jimmy McNatt, but the Bengal trainer gave the assignment to Clay Cooper and the O.I. ace was held to two goals . . . The Jayhawker swimming team, deprived of its meet at Norman last week because of lack of finances, will splash against the Kansas State mermen in the University pool here Saturday afternoon.
Kansas Takes Second Place As O.U. Loses
Norman, Okla., Feb. 14—Missouri jumped back into first place in the Big Six basketball race with a clear-cut, 33 to 27 victory over Oklahoma before a capacity crowd of 6,000 here last night.
The Sooner's loss dropped them into third place and allowed Kansas to sneak around and into the runner-up spot just a half game behind Missouri.
Tiger Revenge
It was sweet revenge for the Tigers, who were nosed out by a point when they had previously met Oklahoma at Columbia.
The victory was accomplished largely by the splendid job of guarding Clay Cooper threw on Jimmy McNatt, the league's scoring artist. The last time out McNatt rippled the dry goods for 30 points, but last night the

speedy Cooper held him to two goals from the field.
McNatt's Average Pared
McNatt is still leading the individual scorers, but his average was cut from 14.3 to 13 flat. It was big Herb Scheffler who took highpoint honors for the game with five goals and three free throws.

Both outfits were minus the services of stellar players. Renko and Danielson, Delta Chi regulars, and Weaver McCaslin, Beta scoring ace, are ineligible for play this semester.
Chief reason for the Beta's brilliant offense was the play of Bill Geiger who tallied 20 of his team's 33 points. Geiger, who was performing for the first time for the Beta's, flipped in baskets from every angle. Ed Hall, Delta Chi all-star, hit five one-handed jump shots as his teammates went down in defeat.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 14-With Frank Tallman hitting the meshes for 23 points, the Nebraska Cornhuskers reached a new ceiling for Big Six scoring this season to down Kansas State 61 to 28.
The victory boosted the Huskers into a fourth place tie with the Wildcats, each having two victories in eight starts.
Norris Holstrom, blond K-State guard, paced the losers' attack with four goals. The box score:
The game marked the return to action of Don Fitz, star guard who has been out of action with a bad knee since early in the season. Harry Pitcaithley, injured forward, also saw some service, and their appearance in the game seemed to put new life into the Nebraska team.

Indoor Dual Here Tomorrow
Kansas State Cinder Team Meets Locals
BULLETIN
Bob Stoland, Big Six high jump and broadjump champion, was lost to the Kansas track team for the season, Bill Hargiss, varsity track coach, announced today. Hargiss said Stoland received credit for 26 hours in his last two semesters at the University whereas the conference minimum requirement is 27.
Stoland, a senior and co-captain of the 1940 track team, was said to have made high grades last semester. His deficiency was in the number of hours he carried. He is the son of O. O. Stoland, professor of medicine.

Led by Elmer "One-Man-Gang" Hackney, Kansas State will invade the local stadium tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 to open Kansas' indoor track season. Having dropped their initial meet to Drake the Aggies will be hungry for victory and should provide the also "winless" Jayhawkers with plenty of stiff competition.
When asked about his team's chances tomorrow Coach Bill Hargiss was/slightly pessimistic. Lack of material combined with injuries and ineligibilities have played havoc with the Jayhawker squad.
Room for a Few Hundred
The field beneath the stadium has been arranged so that several hundred persons can stand and watch the events. Activity tickets will admit students to the contests. Four large gas heating blowers keep the interior war and a number of benches may be brought in for the use of spectators. The track has been reconditioned and the curves have been rebanked recently. The events will be in charge of E. A. Thomas of Topeka, but the other officials have not been named yet.
yet.
In spite of the gloomy outlook of the Kansas coach, most observers give KU, a better-than-even chance to win. Kansas State has few outstanding performers other than Hackney, and Drake had little trouble in defeating the Wildcats last week. The Jayhawk tutor will depend much on several sophomores.
Ray Harris, star miler of Kansas, may not get to run. Ill with a cold, he was far off his usual form when he lost by 10 yards to Brooks of Nebraska last Saturday and his condition has improved but little since then. Darrel Mathes, fleet 60-yard dash man is also a doubtful starter. A cut knee as a result of a recent car wreck has kept him out of practice this week. Scott, injured in the same accident, will be another man lost to the team Thursday because of an injury.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Labor -- The Political Individualist
When John L. Lewis announced a few weeks ago that the United Mine Workers of America would withhold any indorsements of 1940 presidential candidates, he not only made the delegate to the labor convention sit upright, but he also jarred the professional politicians of both the Democrat and Republican parties.
It is true that labor has never received full political consideration, to which it may be entitled by reason of its numbers. It is also true that labor support has too often been taken for granted. With labor's backing, politicians can concentrate on winning the favors of the wealthier interests.
Lewis spoke as a leader of a union which has had long and sometimes bitter experience with politicians who have ridden to office as friends of labor, but who later have turned against labor when it seemed to them politically expedient to do so.
Lewis has complained that labor is given no representation in the Cabinet, or in the administrative or policy-making agencies of government. He has pointed out further that labor is consulted only in the most casual fashion on major issues, domestic or foreign.
But on the other hand, Lewis is known to have said that the Republicans must not be allowed to win this fall. He has already denounced Democrates McNutt, Garner, and Cordell Hull. He leaves hardly a choice of which direction he may throw the support of labor.
Today is Saint Valentine's Day again.
Today, February 14, has been Valentine's Day since 270 A.D., when Valentine, later painted, was persecuted for his belief in the Roman Catholic church.
The Greeks Had Words Over It
In the world of love, little has changed from that day to this. The rules of love-making have been handed down through the ages—by mouth o mouth—and improved upon only slightly by Tommy Manville, John Barrymore, and others.
But the idea is basically the same. Always have boys chosen girls to be their Valentines. Today the problem with most Beau Brummels is how not to slight one fair damsel when he bestows his tokens on another.
Mr. Barrymore has some trouble with this. He arrived in New York last week to play on Broadway. His fourth wife, Elaine Barrie pursued him, and they became reconciled. But in a few days Winnie Hoveler, a dancer girl friend, left her Chicago dance routine to visit John, now ill in a New York hospital. When she had promised the great lover she'd be faithful and loving (remembering their long evenings together last fall), he sent her home. Now he must send Valentine remembrances to both Elaine and Winnie.
These days, boys hoping to follow in the pattern set by "the Barrymore" will have little occasion to forget the tokens they must give, or every advertising medium in the country is devoted to the sale of Valentine's Day things. Commercialists warn lovers not to forget Her and suggest that they cannot go wrong with this candy, or that perfume or these flowers.
The boys who "lead on" too many girls, however, will soon find themselves in Mr. Barrymore's position. They, too, will be sorry they let their hair down and spread it on too thick.
The CIO leader, however, is not closing all doors. He has demanded consideration for labor; he has asked a more fair acceptance of labor's position. In order to gain this, Lewis declares that labor's support of any political candidate must not be taken for granted unless that candidate or that political party guarantees a substantial return to labor, in the form of consideration, position, and power.
The attitude thus expressed by Mr. Lewis converges his many divergent political views into a solid, clarified position. He is holding out 600,000 miners' votes until he is assured of labor's position in the political set-up after November.

The dog belongs to a student who has gone into a house-keeping partnership with two other students. As the pooch carefully avoided mud puddles while getting in and out of a car, the owner boasted, "You see, my dog is smart. It watches where it steps."
Less than half an hour later when the dog trotted into the house after a brief exercise period, the owner suggested: "Gosh, OUR dog is full of burs. Looks like OUR dog needs a bath."
A few minutes passed. The students stepped into the front yard to get the evening paper and found it torn into small bits and scattered about the lawn. The owner exclaimed: "Why, do you see what YOUR dog has done to the paper?"

The time to start serious worrying about the subversive elements
Dorothy Thompson writes that Mr. Roosevelt is shaping foreign policy with an eye cocked somewhat at the coming presidential campaign. And it is quite possible the Democrats could think up a right clever peace slogan should F. D.R. give the third term a try. If the Democrats remember 1916, however, the slogan won't be "He kept us out of war!"

Bird in Bush Worth Two in Green Windows
Black, white, brown, and gray pigeons were driven from their home on the front window ledges of Green hall last Friday and Saturday.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds, and his assistants, waged a war on the feathered creatures, who failed to obey the laws of the University. The birds were guilty of marring the beauty of the campus. For their deplorable conduct, they have been deprived of their roosting places at the top of the tall columns of the law barn.
Tin covers, too slick even for a pigeon claw to grip, have been built over each window ledge. Three oval windows have been screened, and now the birds must look elsewhere for places to roost.
For two days employees worked at the top of a high ladder fixing the slanting metal covers over every corner that the pigeons had previously used as a foot path,.
No longer are the pigeons a menace. Students can now go to their classes in Green without any fear of ill treatment by the birds.
Rhadamanthi Will Meet
Rhadamanthi, poetry society, will meet at 7:30 Thursday evening in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. The poetry of Dorothy Parker will be discussed at the meeting by Elsa Shilling, c'43. The meeting is open to any who are interested.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
A new columnist on the Pittsburg student paper says he hopes to write column comparable to The Shin. See, we got fans!
We have it on fairly good authority that the University, despite courses in the Motion Picture and Equitation, is getting tougher. No less than 500 students were busted out this past semester. As far as we know this is something of a record.
George, the campus constable, has a new role. When the money taken in during fee collection goes to the bank, George goes along, sans uniform. Secret service has come to the State U. Our sheriff dons plain clothes, keeps his head covered so nobody will recognize that stall-tale shine, and watches that money with whistle in mouth.
Which probably isn't such a bad idea after all. If the average fee was $30 (and it's considerably more), at least $20,000 comes into that little office in seven days. Which means that collection must average around $17,000 a day. We've figured on a basis of only 4,000 paying their fees. Seventeen thousand iron men per day is pretty good averaging.
If you carry that a little further you can realize that if $120,000 dollars is collected each semester and each time within seven days the University picks up close to a quarter of a million in 14 days each year. That's probably faster than the majority of huge corporations rake in their chips
Not all coeds are throwing their old man's rocks around carelessly. Witness Alpha Chi Mary Christianson's attempt to get a Red Cross Christmas seal by the postman disguised as a special delivery stamp.
Something of a record: 22 out of 28 Sigma Chi pledges are rumored to have failed to make their grades this semester. Just too many "Sweethearts of Sigma Chi."
Shadow, the dog that has long been an institution at Brick's, should lose some of that sad expression today. Big plans have been taken under advisement to hold a party in Shadow's honor in booth 23. The accent will be on ice cream, the pup's favorite dish, and Bill Lunt will dip.
Bill O'Shea wasn't exactly the life of the party when he slipped and fell under the table at the Pig Dinner the other night. It's a wonder he wasn't cut to ribbons under the special festive board set up in the back of the dining room for the unpleasant element that just will crop up at that type of function. It's often been said that there is more glassware under that special table than on it.
Now comes the rumor that a Pi Phi was married before she pledged. That's what we call having your cake and eating it too.

Haskell Students' Display Of Indian Life Is Colorful
The University's neighbor, Haskell institute, has added another scalp to its belt in the form of a vast display being made to depict the deep philosophy and fascinating life of the Navajo Indian tribes.
Directed by George A. Boyce of the Indian government service, nearly 30 Indians are putting finishing touches to the work. The display will be exhibited at the annual convention of the Progressive Education association in Chicago Feb. 21 to 24.
The theme of the work is to show the resource and cultural differences of regions, according to Boyce.
Denet Susie and Van Tshinahjimh,
both Navajo artists have assisted
Boyce with the display. The mural
painters for the job were: Cecil Murdock,
Kickapoo; Franklin Gritts,
Cherokee; Black Owl, Cheyenne. All three are government employees.
The first room pictures the people in the land of the Navajo. Against walls painted in a desert scene, Indians will be at work grinding corn, making jewelry, or weaving rugs. One of the Navajo's who will demonstrate the Indian method of corn grinding speaks no English, only the Navajo tongue.
Section two will demonstrate Navajo country resources. Murals will illustrate the grass, the desert, and soil wasted by erosion.
Part three by pictures will take the audience through the workings of the Indian mind as contrasted to the

Prepare Photo History of K.U.
In preparation for the seventyfifth anniversary of the University of Kansas in 1941, Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, is compiling a complete photographic history of the University. The pictures will date from 1866 and show the transformation of an unpretentious frontier academy into a great state university.
Professor Taft is making the collection from photographs gathered from the ancient box cameras of alumni up to modern aerial photos. At present he has 300 views from which to select but needs many more for a complete record. According to Professor Taft pictures taken between 1910 and 1930, the years when the album fad was at its height are the most difficult to obtain.
Ivan C. Crawford, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, Professor E. D. Hay, and Professor E. A. Stephenson, of the department of petroleum engineering, were among the University's representatives to the thirty-second annual meeting of the Kansas Engineering society in Wichita last weekend.
Three to Wichita Engineering Meet
Professor E. D. Hay, who is a member of the society board, went to Wichita earlier in the week to make preparations for the meeting. During the meeting he led the discussions in the mechanical section. E. A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering, led a discussion on water resources and later was elected to a position on the society board for a two year period, replacing a University of Kansas man on the board with the expiration of Professor Hay's term this year.
An innovation in this year's meeting was several prize contests which were under the direction of Professor Hay. Prizes were offered for plans, reading of books and hobbies, Professors T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, W. C. McNown, professor of civil engineering, and V. B. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering were other representatives of the School of Engineering.
Brigham Calls For Drama Trials
"A new system of try-outs for Dramatic club will be used this semester," said Gordon Brigham, c'40 president, yesterday. Preliminary meeting was held this afternoon at 4:30 in Little Theatre of Green hall at which time the instructions on presentation of dramatic exercises were given. The candidates will return at the same time next week for the final session of try-outs. This double session try-out method where the student has a week to prepare his presentation has been substituted for the old method of ten minute preparation.
All students interested who did not attend this meeting should contact Gordon Brigham immediately.

at the mere thought of men were:
Emily Jean Milam, Arlouine Good-
john, Shirley Jane Ruble, and Mary
Elizabeth Kirsch. Miss Kirsch has
a distinct Arkansas dialect which
amused some of the members of the
audience as she lectured an 1805
English soldier, in England, with
"Suh, you bring youah punishmahtn

Those who never have seen physical-culturalist, Frank Anneberg do anything but walk on his hands enjoyed seeing him right-side-up, as an old flirt of a recruiting sergeant. Frankly he was pretty good.
Emmy-Jane Harbin, as Patty, the Throssel's maid, deserves more than a mere listing of her name. She was the only female in the show who seemed totally unafraid of men. She was a good servant with just a little of the Mae West stirred in. David Developing Following
Larry David's New Yawk accent worked in very nicely for his part as Ensign Blades. David is developing quite a following among local theater-goers who hope to see him advanced beyond the supporting staff. Barbara Daniels, as Charlotte, performed passably.
When it was noised about recently that Frederick Fleming had returned to town, many there were who feared that he might assume again his Thespian aspirations. Those fears were realized last night when he wobbled on the stage as Lieutenant Spicer. If Lieutenant Spicer really was like Fred Fleming made him out to be, then there is no justice in war—what with so many good men getting killed.
Gordon Brigham was in the show too but not too much.
That Man Again---husky sunflower seems to be doing right well in a classic pink and white container. Despite the unusual environment in which the flower finds itself after Shore quit smearing paint, it has the fortitude to cast a healthy shadow on the crimson wall in the background. It's too yellow to blush.
Even the music was far above average last night with a group of musicians under the direction of Vincent Bleecker in the pit. Aiding Vincent were Eugene Nininger and Jack Stephenson.
The artist gives himself a plug in his third work, a self portrait, which is done in a style that is a complete reversal of methods used in most portraits. Without the white background, this artistic endeavor might have been a snapshot of the pressroom wit in a dark room during a blackout. Dark blue and black are the dominating color of this ink painting.
Shore uses the frie-wagon method of painting. He dobbs various colored inks on the canvas with his fingers and can easily turn out a finished piece in an evening. He has had no training in this rare form of art. He openly admits that he acquired it by wiping printers ink from his fingers. He does it with the ease of a girl scout toasting a marshmallow.
Shore, who once wrote that "Gone With the Wind" was a story about western Kansas, announces that he will keep his most cherished feminine creations, which are clothed only in wistful looks, at home because of the cold weather.
All's well that ends, but Shore imagination goes on forever.

Prom Tickets On Sale Now; Limit Number
Tickets are on sale today at the Memorial Union building, University business office and Bells music store for the Junior Prom. Fred Littooy, dance manager who recentl ysigned Jimmy Dorsey and his band for class party, March 9, announced today.
Since the Prom is being held in the Memorial Union ballroom there will be a limit to the number of tickets sold, Littcoy said. He urges that those who plan to attend purchase their tickets early. The advance price for stags and per couple is $2 plus the state sales tax.
The junior class party was originally set for March 15 but the date was moved up to March 9 to schedule Dorsey and his band. Dancing will be in the Memorial Union building from 8 o'clock until midnight. The earlier hours are required by a University ordinance which prohibits Sunday dancing.
Littooy announced that only bona fide press passes would be honored for admission in accordance with a specific statement in the contract. If there is no sell-out before the dance, the gate price will go up to $2.25.
Dorsey, who has been acclaimed the world's greatest saxophonist, features with his orchestra Bob Eberly, balladeer, blond entertainer Helen O'Connell and Buddy Schutz on the drums. Dorsey is now on an extensive midwestern tour after engagements at Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook near Cedar Grove, N.J., and at Chicago's hotel Sherman. He will play at a University of Iowa dance the Friday night before he comes here.
Debate Tourney Here Tomorrow
The annual state high school debate tournament will be officially opened at 12:20 tomorrow afternoon when Class B high schools hold their opening session in Fraser hall. Debates for this class will begin at 1 o'clock. Class A and Class C will debate at 2:20.
Weather
Increasing cloudiness, probable rain tonight turning to snow tomorrow; colder.
The state debate tournament began in 1910 with the organization of the Kansas High School Debating League. In 1938 this organization was merged with the Kansas State High School Athletic Association to form the Kansas High School Activity Association. Since then, the organization has carried on the debates, although the general program has not been changed.

Require Filing Of Scholarship Applications Soon
Students interested in receiving scholarships or loans for 1940-1941 should begin writing applications now.
Applicants for the Edna Osborne Whitcomb scholarship in English for women students should file their applications immediately with Miss Persis Cook, executive secretary of the Committee on Aids and Awards, room 1. Frank Strong hall.
Applications for scholarships or renewals at Watkins and Miller halls must be filed by March 15, Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, chairman of the Residence Halls Scholarship committee, room 202, Frank Strong hall.
This scholarship is a gift scholarship fund established in 1931 for needy women students majoring in the English department who show ability in creative writing. Applications are considered on recommendation of a committee of the department of English.
Students applying for other scholarships, gift or loan, for 1940-1941 should file applications with Miss Persis Cook, before March 1.
Because of the war situation in Europe, no Rhodes scholarships will be granted to students for the ensuing year, 1940.

Venus and the Stags---- Four Planets Cluster About Celestial Queen
By Reginald Buxton, c'41
If a major offensive against Dance Manager Fred Littooy is expected soon, the chiefs of staff of the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A., don't intend to carry it out, according to a number of communiques received this morning.
"I don't think the council will nullify its present dance pass bill (it limits Council passes to student's enrollment in school) over something as inconsequential as the Junior Prom, at least
Wilson Glowers
A buzzing of irritated activity is going on behind the Wilson Line, however, as General Velma Wilson, c'40, and her stooges remain inconsolable over Litttooy's failure to inform them that Council passes would not be honored for the Prom.
Mullen, president of the M.S.C., who was reported in yesterday's Kansan to have refused to make any comment was still a little bit nettled this morning over the failure of our war correspondent to ask him to comment. "If it is necessary that Council passes be declared invalid in order to bring the big bands the students want to hear, then I, personally, am in favor of their being declared so," Mullen said this morning.
Source of the women's irritation is that Littoy had supposedly promised Wilson he would inform the Council of the status of their passes before the story appeared in the Kansan. Littoy's logical answer to this, that is if the answer weren't directed to women, is that he was in Topeka, and could not inform them. Littoy has apologized but the women, being women, haven't accented it gracefully-vet.
By Lyle Eggleston, c'42
Litttooy, weary of being known as an old meany who goes around stealing dance passes from weak women, explained his position on the matter of accepting only bonaide press passes for the Prom.

Uranus will also be in the picture, but too far away and indistinct to be sighted by the ordinary person. "The appearance of these planets is of no special significance," Storer said. "It is only once in a great while that they happen to line up at the same time."
'Quality Street' Nears Sellout
With "Quality Street" rounding out its last two productions tonight and tomorrow night, the ticket salesmen in Green hall are faced with empty pigeon-holes where once there were tickets.
Don Dixon, instructor in the department of speech and dramatic art, in charge of ticket sales for the play, is expecting a near sellout tonight and will probably have to put out the Standing Room Only sign for tomorrow night.
The Dramatic Club play will not run beyond its scheduled closing performance Friday, Director Robert Calderwood, has said. Calderwood has indicated satisfaction with student acting in the Sir James M. Barrie production, and his gratification with the way the audiences have received it.
K-Book Editor, Business Manager To Be Chosen
Applications for editor and business manager of the K-book are due Feb. 20, C. H. Mullen, I'42, president of the M.S.C. announced today.
Qualifications and applications for editor are to be sent to Eda Paddock, secretary of the Y.W.C.A. Applications for business manager should be sent to John J. Moore, secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
The committee for selecting these officers is composed of the secretaries of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A., the retiring business manager and editor, and a representative from the M.S.C., the W.S.G.A., and the business office. Selection will be made by March 1.

Houses To Entertain Tonight
War Puts Its Stamp On Fashions
They have gone back to 1914 stiff materials, alpacas, failles, surahs and tie-silks. They borrowed khaki from the British Tommies and teamed it with olive green and black. Other army-officer fabrics, whippedcock, gabardine, and covertcloth, in military colors have been pressed into service. Other war time colors are red, white and navy.
The European War has influenced fashions in many ways, excluding the novelty styles such as pitch-black suits with luminous paint glossed over the pockets and cuffs to increase visibility in London's war-dark night.
With the declaration of war, many Paris coutures closed their famous houses, only to reopen them when the French government convinced them it was their duty to continue to cater to American trade.
Schiaparelli, Figuet, Bruyere, Le-Long and others offer spring collections that show the influence of war on fashion styles.
Navy, always a spring color, is even more prominent this season and uses lingerie touches of white in cuffs, collars and blouses. This costume will replace, to a certain extent, the flowered prints in the Frenchwoman's wardrobe, but American women are too fond of prints to give them up and they will be seen as much as ever on this side of the Atlantic.
Schiaperelli has used the war as an excuse to contribute large practical pockets. There are large ones, called kangaroos, pouchy ones, slits and invisible ones featured against molded silhouettes.
The designers have made pouce bags to tuck all a woman's belongings in and still have extra space. Some of the new ones are made in the shape of boxes carrying gas masks.
The war has made Paris more practical and their clothes reflect it.

Poll Shows Collegians Disapprove of Hazing
AUSTIN, TEXAS—A majority of American college students themselves, even members of fraternities and sororities, disapprove of the good old campus tradition of hazing.
The most recent national poll of the Student Opinion Surveys of America indicates that only 32 per cent of all students approve of the pranks and punishments to which initiates and freshmen have been subjected for generations. The Oklahoma Daily is one of the co-operating members of the Surveys, which conducts the only scientific samplings of United States campus thought.
It is important to point out that of the 68 per cent who declared they were against hazing, 20 per cent specified that they frowned only on corporal punishment. Harmless tricks, this group declares, are all right. Other practices that many schools have attempted to ban, such as paddlings and electric shocks, however.
The canvass produced strong evidence that the "popular" initiation customs that have long existed on most campuses are on the decline, showing that there is disapproval even among a majority of members of Greek letter societies which sponsor the annual "hell week." Non-fraternity men and women were more vigorously against, only 30 per cent approving, as compared with 38 for organized students. Surprisingly, no one

Seniors Must Take Physical Exam Soon
Appointments for senior physical examinations are now being scheduled during regular clinic hours, authorities at Watkins Memorial hospital announced this morning.
The examinations, which are given free as a part of the student health service, may be taken by any senior. Response, so far, has been very poor, it was said, and seniors are urged to make appointments early in order to avoid a last-minute rush at the end of the semester.
It is hoped that the physical examinations for new students and those who enrolled late will be completed next Saturday morning from 8 until 12 o'clock, hospital attendants said today.
To Hold Vespers This Sunday
The sixty-fourth all-musical vespers to be presented Sunday at 4 o'clock in Hoch auditorium include selections by the Men's Glee club, the University concert band, and solos by members of the School of Fine Arts faculty and student body.

AN OPEN LETTER: It's surprising the number of rumors one hears about "Gone With the Wind." The Dickinson Theatre has an average of 28 phone calls every day asking if "Gone With the Wind" will be cut when it is shown in Lawrence. In every instance the party calling has stated they heard the rumor that "Gone With the Wind" would be cut in Kansas. This is a false rumor. "Gone With the Wind" will be shown in Lawrence at the Dickinson Theatre exactly as it was shown in its world premiere at Atlanta, Kansas City and every city in America. There has never been any intention of cutting the picture in any way. The running time of "Gone With the Wind" is 3 hours and 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission making a full 4-hour show.
Noted Geologist To Talk Saturday
"The Canyon and Valley Systems Under the Ocean" is the subject Prof. R. A. Daly of Harvard University will discuss Saturday morning at 11 o'clock in room 101, Haworth hall.
The origin of these canyons and valleys is a matter of much speculation among geologists. Maps of the systems are fairly complete. In places the depressions are found to be as much as six or eight thousand feet deep, and are also found to be connected with some of our present rivers. The most likely theory yet presented, as to their origin, is that this ocean floor was at one time exposed to erosion, then submerged.
Speech in Business Discussed
Speech work and its ramifications in the business world was discussed by Margaret Anderson, instructor in speech, before the weekly Pharmacy Colloquium this morning.

Cage Classic Tonight
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
When Kansas and Oklahoma A. and M. tangle in Stillwater tonight two of the foremost basketball coaches in the business will be matching wits. Dr.F.C Allen is recognized as the dean of American cage mentors and none can come close to touching his record of 22 conference championships in 29 years.
Over a shorter period, Iba has a better mark in wins and losses, ranking second only to Claire Bee of Long Island University in this respect. New York's busy Bee, in whose teams have twice put together winning streaks of over 40 games, is leading the parade in wins and losses with a batting average near the .900 mark.
Pressing him closely is Henry Iba with a winning percentage of .860. Before he began piling up victories at the Stillwater institution, "Handsome Hank" took all comers with his powerful Maryville Teachers quintets. At one stretch the Bearcats won 42 straight.
Despite the fact that Bee and Iba both surpass Allen in the W and L column, the genial basketball professor need not apologize. His Kansas and Warrensburg teams have won 340 while losing only 76 for a 817 mark. The longest winning streak an Allen-coached team has amassed was 34 straight which was finally broken by Oklahoma in 1928.
The only teams that have been common opponents for Kansas and A. and M. so far this year are Loyola and Oklahoma. The Jayhawkers downed Oklahoma, 46 to 26, and Loyola, 40 to 36, while the Aggies downed the Sooners, 26 to 19, and the Chicago outfit, 29 to 24.

Missouri basketball officials have dubbed tomorrow night's game with Kansas State as "California Night," honoring three of the Tiger cagers hailing from the little hamlet of California, Mo. . . It will be o.k. if "California Jack" Gardner, the Wildcat coach, doesn't get the idea they are honoring him and decide he'd better win the game.

Kansas Mermen Meet K-State Here Saturday
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
After bitterly watching two swimming meets go down the stream because of lack of finances the Kansas swimming team, coached by Jim Raport, is "fit to be tied, or drowned" and should be plenty ready to go against Kansas State here at 2:30 Saturday afternoon in the season's opener.
The Aggies will bring an experienced and unbeaten team to compete in the indoor pool in Robinson gymnasium against the young unexpectedly Jayhawkers. So far this season the invaders have won over Nebraska, Colorado, and Washington U. of St. Louis. Coach "Coony" Molls has a bar-better-than-average group and his swimmers will be heavy favorites in the meet Saturday.
Coach Jim Raport said today that Kansas' chances for victory are highly problematical. With the exception of Ken Rosebush and Frank Wilson all his men are sophomores. What they will do in varsity competition remains to be seen.
Raport listed as his probable outstanding performers Marion Cooper in the back stroke; Frank Wilson and Ken Rosebush in the dashes; Lloyd Koehling in the dives; Dan LaShelle
The starters and judges have yet to be named, but the meet is open to the public. It will be the first opportunity for local fans to see the team in action, and a large crowd is expected.

Stillwater Scene Of Tilt Between Jayhawks, A.-M.
By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
Stillwater will certainly run deep tonight. Deep with basketball talent, and fans swarming in to see the great Kansas and Oklahoma A. and M. cage teams swing into action.
An expected throng of 8,000 will be in the Cowboys' spacious fieldhouse at 8 o'clock tonight when the Jayhawkers attempt to snap the 43-game winning streak Coach Henry Iba's classy hoophitters have compiled on their home boards.
And the Aggies will be striving equally hard to avenge the defeat Dr. F. C. Allen's charges hung on them in the season's opener here last December. Since that loss A. and M. has torn through everything that has come its way to hang up 19 straight victories.
Kansas is in second place behind Missouri, largely because the Tigers have played two more games than the Jayhawkers. Each team has lost only one game, the Kansas defeat coming at the hands of Missouri. The only other set-back the Jays have met this year was the trimming Warrensburg Teachers gave them in an overtime tilt at Warrensburg.
The Stillwater stylists are roaring along in the Missouri Valley head and hands above the rest of the loop. The same cannot be said for the Jayhawkers, but there is little doubt that the Big Six is playing a finer brand of ball than the M. V. this winter.
Pacing the Cowboy outfit will be Jess Renick, colorful Indian guard who is being boomed for all-American honors. Renick didn't show too much when he played here in December because he had had only a few days of practice after football season, but reports now say he is red hot. His 8-point per game average doesn't sound too impressive, but with a low-scoring team of the Iba caliber four buckets a night is plenty.

In the backcourt with Renick will be Danny Doyle, crack long shooter, and the front line will be manned by Gene Smelser and Harvey Slade, a pair of flashy ball handlers.
Doctor Allen plans to rely mostly on the five that led off against Iowa State with Bruce Voran slated for heavy reserve duty. At the tipoff the Jayhawkers will line up with Ralph Miller and Don Ebling at the forwards, Bob Allen at center, and Dick Harp and Johnny Kline at guards.
Dr. Allen, Trainer Dean Nesmith and 11 players left for Stillwater by train last night. The men were Don Ebling, Ralph Miller, Howard Engleman and Bob Johnson, forwards; Bob Allen and Jack Sands, centers: Dick Harp, John Kline, Bruce Voran, Bill Hogben and T. P. Hunter, guards.

Cooper Paces Sig Ep Cagers To 22-15 Win
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
By Clint Kanaga, c42
Phi Delta Theta's playoff hopes suffered a severe jolt last night as they fell before a determined Sigma Phi Epsilon five, 15 to 22. Until last night's contest, the Phi Delt's were tied for first place in Division I.
Outstanding man in the Sig Ep's upset victory was Bob Cooper, who shot the winning goal in his team's win over the Sigma Chi's two days age. Cooper scored four baskets in the final period. The two teams were deadlocked at halftime with nine points apiece.
Led by Howard Rankin, the Kappa Sig "B" team triumphed over the Phi Delt "B", 36 to 21. The Phi Psi "B" remained undefeated, nosing out the Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B", 29 to 26. Sigma Nu "B" edged out the Sig Ep "B" 26 to 24. Phi Delt "C" was victorious over the Phi Gam "D" 30 to 16. Dunakin Club lost by forfeit to the Mississippi Meteors. The box score:
Keeping pace with the Galloping Ghosts, the Comets, co-leaders of Division II, downed a hard fighting Theta Tau team, 27 to 17. Domingo, as usual, was the sparkplug of the comet's attack. After the opening quarter, the Theta Tau's never seriously threatened the lead of the Comets.

The Liberal Lincoln Set the Trend
That democracy in the United States faces a crisis not paralleled since the Civil War brings up the query of how Abraham Lincoln's political philosophy would fit into the modern, streamlined system. Lincoln's ideology has been chosen from among others because he stands out as the greatest figure produced by that critical period in the growth of our government. Also, the present shakeup in American living has failed to give rise to an equal. Thus, historians have turned to Lincoln. From a survey of the war president's theory of rule, these reflectors have concluded that he would approve the outstanding trends toward centralization and nationalism.
Lincoln in the first place would condone the the synthesis of leadership which began under Theodore Roosevelt in 1901 and reached culmination in the depression. The emancipator, throughout his presidency, declared that democracy's quality should allow a convergence of all forces in order to meet turnovers. This convergence, he felt, could later relax when the crisis had passed. Too, he would be pleased with the change from the disorganized production and exchange of wealth to a directed economic ebb and flow. The Emancipator dreamed of rebuilding the nation in post-war days through government direction.
Again, the Lincoln theory sympathizes with the type of nationalism which has crept over the country in the past months. When he predicted that no nation divided against itself could stand, he intimated that provincial democracy must be cooperative through the centralization of expert leadership. Lincoln, however, would also understand the nearly paradoxical presence of the American Left in this nationalism. He could realize that we always have had this aspect in our political life and always shall. During the Revolutionary days, the committee of Correspondents held the left wing. Later, came the Jeffersonian and the Jacksonian liberals, to be followed during the Civil War period by the Abolitionists and the Knights of Labor. Then through the later decades came Mugwumps, Populists, Muckrakers, the Wilsonians, Marxists, and New Dealers, a procession that has left its stamp on American legislation. These, too, Lincoln would look upon tolerantly as a necessary part of democracy.
Although no sectionalist, the Civil War statesman could easily recognize the special-interest groups and still do "what is best for all the people in the whole nation." To this end, the American government, for the most part, has attempted to manipulate its rule. Thus, Hoover set up the R.F.C. to back up the credit

system of the country. In the next decade Roosevelt followed with the N.R.A., the New Deal.
Though Lincoln might be disappointed in a number of experiments which have failed, disturbed by apparent glut of economic problems, he still would see a great cause for satisfaction in this liberal aggresiveness. Could Lincoln return to the American scene, he would know that his faith in democracy has been justified. Yes, Abe Lincoln would be pleased.

Today's fairy story.
The Kansas City "League of Admirers of Redheaded Women" does not exist. Neither, then does "1940's Most Fascinating Redhead," the honor it conferred on Betty Jane Boddington.
But Miss Boddington does exist. And she is red-haired. Most people, however, would have disagreed with the choice on grounds that 1940 isn't far enough along to have elevated any one pink-curled lass to a position of distinct superiority.

When a last minute checkup disclosed that the regular facilities for broadcasting campus news flashes from the K.U. New Bureau were out of order, Prof. Ray Heady jumped in his car and sped to the KFKU studio to give his daily program. He arrived just in time to go on the air, left just at the conclusion of his three-minute broadcast. Upon reaching his automobile, he discovered that he had been ticketed for improper parking—in the five minutes he was gone.
The long arm of the law, it would seem, now also is the fast one.

Despite the Kanans's version, it appears that there will be little or no friction between Dance Manager Fred Littioy and the Men's Student Council on the issue of "political" passes to the Junior Prom. The W. S.G.A., on the other hand, is raising more stink than a chemistry experiment. And F. Y. suggests that such a situation is paradoxical since men not women, usually lay cash on the line for tickets.
The answer appears to be either:
1. The women legislators already have dates:
2. They are afraid they can't get dates unless they have passes;
3. Leap year.
Dear Sir; Before he makes up his mind, we should suggest that President Roosevelt consult Hoyle for the odds against drawing for three of a kind. -F. Y.

YOU SAID IT
It makes my blood boil the way the members of the Men's Student Council can not be satisfied. It is now several months since, by their own vote, they invalidated their passes for use at Hill class parties. Now they want to make them good again, to use them for the Junior Prom.
★
Don't they realize that their invalidation move in the first place was ostensibly, and intelligently, directed at the limitation of free admissions, so that the particular class treasury could be bolstered as much as possible?
I'm for Mr. Littooy all the way, and if he can't enforce the rule, perhaps a little strong arm stuff would help to show the Council members the way to thrift.
To the editor:
If they turn about face now, and use their passes at the Dorsey dance, they are defeating their own ends, and placing a possible loss on the junior class.

The sudden midnight raids by Federal agents of J. Edgar Hoover upon
the homes of two physicians and ten citizens in Detroit on the astounding charge that they aided the Spanish Loyalists against fascism must startle the entire nation.
It is almost incredible—except that the brutal facts stare the country in the face—that the Roosevelt government should consider aid to Spanish democracy a matter for criminal indictment.
The nation had been given soothing-syrup reassurances by Frank Murphy and administration circles generally that there would be no repetition of the brutal madness of the Palmer raids of 1919.
To stifle every voice in America which dares to raise a protest against the present war—this is the real aim of the midnight raids in Detroit. To spread the atmosphere of Gestapo dread, to wipe out civil liberties and gag every American who refuses to be stamped into war hysteria—that is what looms behind Mr. Hoover's revival of the Palmer raids in Detroit.
The conscience of every truly democratic American must voice immediate protest to President Roosevelt. PROGRESSIVE

- The flower stores weren't the only ones that had a good time out of Valentine's day. Charlie Henshall came through with an apropos memo for Marianna Bantleon in the form of a live scrawny chicken with a card around its neck saying, "Won't you be my valentine? I lay eggs too."
By the time the chicken got there it was a plenty dirty trick to play on anybody.
And Glen McCann remembered that Leone Hoffman liked oysters so he sent a batch of the nude raw bivalves to the Pi Phi house with an arrow-shaped card pinned to the package bearing a nice sentiment.
"Roses are red.
Violets are blue. Sugar is sweet.
But I love woo."
And steak fry season is just around the corner as witness the lawyers already starting their spring whistling activities from Green hall steps
Since Confuci Bayles ruined the pigeon's usual resting place in the windows of the Law Barn we've noticed that the whistlers are staying well back under the pillars. It is understood that a petition is being entered with the Building mogul demanding that air raid precaution steps be taken.
Best Confuci yet: "Confuci's brother say Confuci talk too much."
Choir to Sing Cantata, Gallia
The Westminster A Cappella choir, under the direction of Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will present the cantata, "Gallia," on Palm Sunday, March 10.

The mid-winter concert presented by the choir last Sunday drew a large audience to the First Presbyterian church. Included in the program were selections from Van Den man Thompson, Tschesnikof, Tschalkowsky, and Rachmaninoff.

Engineering Talks To Be Presented Over KFKU
The first of two round table discussions, which are to be presented as a part of a vocational guidance program by the heads of the various departments in the School of Engineering, will be presented over KFKU, Friday at 2:30 p.m.
The program, entitled "Vocational Guidance in Engineering," has been divided in two parts, one this Friday and the other next week, at the same time for 30 minutes. The subjects to be presented Friday cover vocational guidance in architectural, electrical, civil and mechanical and industrial fields. They will be discussed by the respective heads of each department; Prof. Joseph M. Kellogg, architecture; Prof. W. C. McNown, civil engineering; Prof. V. P. Hessler, electrical, and Prof. E. D. Hay will discuss mechanical and industrial engineering.
On the program a week from Friday the discussion will be held on the prospects in the fields of chemical, metallurgical, and petroleum engineering by the heads of those departments.
An order that all Lawrence dogs be tied up for the next 10 days during a rabies precautionary period was made by the Lawrence police department today.
Dogs Must Stay Home for 10 Days
The ordinance resulted from the information received today that a Lawrence dog, which was thought to have the disease, showed a positive test for rabies.
Police Chief Jude Anderson said that all dogs should be penned or tied until the "scare" has passed
Coeds Note---- Kansas High Schools Want More Gym Teachers
A noticeable increase in the demand for high school instructors in manual arts, science and physical education for women is shown in an annual report for the year 1939 submitted by Prof. H. E. Chandler, secretary of the Teachers Appointment Bureau.
The report also states that employers are seeking prospective teachers who also have ability to direct various types of extracurricular activity. In addition to the one year report there is also included a ten year report covering the period from 1928 to 1939.
The first work of the bureau which takes care of applications of prospective teachers is to register the candidates through the year. There is no effort made to meet the candidates until a general meeting near the close of the semester at which time they are furnished with application blanks. The registrations for the past year numbered 883. This was a slight drop from last year, although the number shows a 25 per cent increase over the number 10 years ago.
The greatest increase in demand has been for high school teachers of manual arts, science, and physical education for women. The most noticeable decrease was in requests for teachers of English, history, and Latin.
Although the number of placements this year numbers 200 this is 24 less than last year and a drop of 10.7 per cent. The cause for the drop in this division is difficult to explain according to the report and special attention is going to be given to it this year. It is suggested that students consult with advisors before their senior year concerning

their course and subject combinations in order that they may be better prepared for their field.
The Teachers Appointment bureau aids the registrants by securing from schools as many vacancy notices as is possible. Credentials are then forwarded to these schools. These credentials are considered with the others in the bureau office. The bureau offers many services to applicants such as conferences and assistance in writing letters of application. Of great assistance to the prospective teacher is the contact which is made with the employer by the bureau in aiding the student to obtain a teaching position. As a final service the bureau maintains contact with the people who have been placed and attempts to keep in touch with them as to their success or failure.

(Continued from page one) on the part of either the business office or myself. It is an express stipulation in the contract that cannot be avoided," Litttoy explained. "We are not in a position to guarantee a really good band enough to bring them here, as a result it is necessary to offer them a percentage of the gate to entice them." It is obvious that a commercial dance band, playing on percentage, will allow no free passes except those absolutely necessary, Litttoy said.
Sympathizing with free pass holders Littooy believed that they can see the situation as it exists and will not be too reluctant in waiving their privilege. "I feel no passholder will remain angry after due consideration of the circumstances," Littooy added.

High School Debaters Go Into Action
Competition in the state high school debate tournament got underway this afternoon 'with the forensic fireworks of class B teams starting at 1 o'clock and the class A and C schools swinging into action at 2:20 o'clock.
Class A and class C debates were being held in Blake, Green, and Fraser halls this afternoon, with the 13 class B schools debating in Fraser and Marvin halls.
Twenty-nine schools were represented at the tournament today with about 170 students and coaches registered. Eight of the schools were class A, 13 were class B, and 8 were class C.
Debates this afternoon and tonight were being scheduled on a roundrobin schedule, two two-member teams from each school debating the affirmative and negative sides of the state high school debate subject, "Resolved: that the federal government should own and operate the railroads." Finals in the tournament are scheduled for tomorrow.
The debaters and their coaches will be guests at a dinner served in the Memorial Union building at 6 o'clock tonight at which Dean Paul B. Lawson will be the speaker.
Class A results of the first day's debates will be announced at 9:50 o'clock tonight in room 15 Fraser hall; class B results will be tabulated at 8:45 o'clock in the same room; and class C results will be tabulated in room 115 Fraser hall at 9:50 o'clock.
Abduction Rumor Puts the Squitch On Shore Art Show
Schiller Shore's one man art exhibit was called off yesterday after the artist overheard rumors of a plot to carry off his masterpiece, "Marijuana Madonna."
Shore picked up his collection and went home when he was tipped off that "Marijuana Madonna" was to be abducted and held for ransom. With 45 cents worth of lumber tied up in the frame, not to mention the ink and labor, Shore said that he had to take it home rather than take any chances.
33 Applicants For Dramatic Club
Thirty-three Dramatic club aspirants received their preliminary instructions at 4:30 Wednesday in the Little Theater of Green hall. Gordon Brigham, c'40, president of the club, said today that he was pleased with the interest shown at the second semester try-outs. The 33 candidates will return Monday afternoon for individual appointments.

No tickets are left for tonight's "Quality Street" performance, Don Dixon, assistant instructor of speech and dramatic arts, said this afternoon. Tonight will be the last presentation of the Dramatic Club production.
Prof. W. L. Burdick, dean emeritus of the School of Law, will speak in a round table discussion on WDAF tonight at 8:30 on the topic of the "Bench and Bar of Other Lands." The program which is sponsored by the Kansas City Bar Association will last for fifteen minutes.
The play, termed by many as the "best of the year," has played before capacity audience since its opening Tuesday night. The sentimental-comic combination has drawn tears and lusty applause from the crowd like no other play for the past few years.
Jack Nelson and Mary Noel, two of the University's most talented Thespians, have the leads.

An early morning fire burned for half an hour in the Lawrence business district today causing an estimated $6,500 loss to be Palace Barber and Beauty Shop at 730 Massachusetts street.

Judges for last night's program were Lt.-Gov. Carl Friend, Kenneth Weaver, instructor in speech at Lawrence Memorial high school, and Jewel Nichols, announcer for station WIBW. Decision is based on the vote of the radio audience and the opinion of the judges.
"A quiet game of chess at home is better than an international poker game," declared Ralph Richardson, c'40, as he discussed Robert Taft of Ohio as a Republican presidential candidate.

Two new tweed suits, buttoned down the front, will help make any co-ed feel that spring is on the way.
Kappa Offers Scholarships
The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, announced today that applications are now in order for the three $500 graduate fellowships and an unlimited number of exchange scholarships.
The fellowships are open to any woman citizen of the United States or Canada who is not more than 30 years of age and has, or will receive by July 1, her bachelor's degree from any college or university where Kappa has a chapter. The applicant may or may not belong to the sorority.
Exchange scholarships are open only to Kappas who have completed at least two years of college work in American or Canadian schools. Since the proposition is reciprocal, both home and foreign schools cooperate in the exchange by waiving tuition for the visiting student.
The amount of the scholarship is dependant upon the financial need of the candidate, ranging usually from $200 to $400. The appointments in both cases are usually for one year, although a fellow may be re-appointed depending upon her past record.
Ingrid Frestadius, of Sweden, is studying at the University on a Kappa exchange scholarship awarded her last year.
Application blanks may be obtained from Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, and must be filed with the Kappa Kappa Gamma chairman of fellowships, Mrs. Robert L. George of Seattle, Washington.
Women's Suits Are Now A Permanent Fixture
Near the end of the reign of Napoleon III, Madame Musard, a great beauty of the time, shocked all Paris by driving her carriage to Worth's in a mannish suit.
Some suits, taking inspiration from 1910, are made of twill-like ribbed wool, and bound with gleaming satin bindings. They come in charcoal black and navy colors.
Once the first shock was past, suits swept the world. Londoners would wear nothing else and Americans demanded suits from their husbands' tailors. In three generations the suit has become as permanent a fashion as shoes.
Today suits are as much an indication of spring as crouches. Designers are offering as many different types of suits as there are personalities to wear them. Tweeds with pockets like duffle bags, elegant suits borrowed from 1910 which have a delicate air, short-jacketed little boys' suits, all will be found in stores this spring.
Sports suits depend upon simple lines, good fabrics, and colors of all shades to make them outstanding. They come in tweeds, soft, heathery Shetland in every color of the flower bed, and checked and striped wools. There is a trend of a return to the natural sloping shoulders.
The majority of the new suits feature the long torso line in their jackets. Boleros extend to the waist; cutaways to the hip bone; belted jackets to wrist level and tunics to fingertip length.
Kappa Sigma fraternity members and their dates will go black and white at their formal dinner dance Saturday night at the chapter house.
There are tunics that ripple, tunes that flare, tunies cut away in front and tunics that are straight and smooth to a low hipline.
You may have your choice of skirt for your suit because the bell-hemmed skirt, the straight, functional skirt, and the box pleated skirt are all equally good.
Clyde Smith and his band will provide music for the 110 dancers, during and after dinner. Program dances will be held until intermission.
Black and white will be the color scheme and will include the dates' black and white formalts, the house decorations, and the dinner menu.
Kappa Sig Party Saturday Night

A Nickel a Glass Students Pause, Refresh 2,395 Times Every Day
Anyone who yells about what a busy day students have might stop a moment and meditate over this figure: Collectively, Hill-goers daily enjoy 2,395 pauses to refresh.
A canvass of seven spots about the Campus has shown that coke-pokers in these dispensaries "shoot one" almost 2,400 times each day. How you want to divide this figure up among students is up to you because it is difficult to tell where the one-to-a-person business stops and the addict sale begins.
Using that figure as a beginning, you might get out a pencil and check on the following mathematics.
The amount that students pay out in a day's time for cokes alone, then,
$6,500 Damage-is $119.75. Most of the seven cafes reported that coke was the most popular fountain drink and that more plain cokes were sold than most of the flavored ones put together.
(Continued from page one)
Bill Saip, proprietor and manager of the shop, said that the interior o the barber shop and beauty shop was a total loss and set the figure at $4,000. The loss is only partially covered by insurance, he said. Damage to the frame building owned by Mrs. Emily Simmons who now lives in California was estimated to be $2,500. The building is covered by insurance.
The entire interior of the shop was burned and the blaze went up to the second story in the rear above the beauty shop. Slight smoke and water damage resulted to the adjacent establishments.
Fireman brought the blaze under control shortly before 2:30 a.m. but remained at the scene until about six o'clock.
Lawrence firemen were called last night to the Mary Fenstemaker residence at 1239 New York where a blaze damaged the interior of the home, burning clothing, wall paper and furniture. The fire which started in a closet trapped 80-year-old Theodore Marshall in the front bedroom. Billy Fenstemaker broke a bay window in the front of the home and led the elderly man from the building. Damage was partially covered by insurance.

Women go for the drinks more men at Bricks but at the Memorial Union fountain, a veteran waiter said, the sex question didn't seem to matter.
"Manx Overture" (Wood), University Concert Band, Russell L. Wiley, director.
Back to the pencil again, a little figuring will show that students jelly over 16,765 cokes weekly, or 71,850 a month. In a school year, 646,650 bottles or glasses of the stuff will have passed over the Hill fountains.
Most startling figure of all: After nine months, providing that eafes charge only 5 cents for the drink, the student body will have spent $32,322.50 on cokes.
The Memorial Union fountain led all dispensaries with a daily figure of 720. Bricks and the Jayhawk were tied for second with 450 each.

Cowboys Keep Rolling
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
A few hits and misses on the Kansas-Kansas State indoor dual meet here yesterday afternoon which the Wildcats finally won, 551-2 to 481-2.
Most of the railbirds were con-
cedencing the Jayhawkers the baton
scramble, but couldn't see how
they could pick up a second in the
hurdles. Earlier in the meet the
Wildcats had romped in one-two-three in the high sticks. It looked like a tough go, but Foy nosed out Darden of State for second place and it left the mile relay to decide the winner.
Lyle Foy, kinky-haired Jayhawk spinner, twice set himself up as the hero of the day only to see his team lose the meet by inches rather than points in the final race. With two events left Kansas was leading by a point and needed at least a second in the low hurdles and first in the relay to win the meet.
At the end of the first hitch Kansas was only a stride back, but Cris Eberhardt. No 2 man, dropped nearly ten yards to his Purple foe in bringing the stick around to Foy. Then, again Glen proved equal to the task as he took up the slack and touched off anchorman Bill Greene only a step behind the Aggie climax runner. Greene had already coped the 440 and looked like a cinch to breeze home ahead, but Robinson wouldn't be beaten and nudged the tape a scant inch ahead of the Jayhawker.
The fine indoor track Coach Bill Hargiss has laid out under the East side of the stadium this year must be the explanation of those six records being broken and one being tied. Outside of Elmer Hackney (slowed up with an injured wrist) and Ray Harris (suffering from a cold and injured foot) neither team had a performer of the standout variety. There have been lots better crops of athletes during the 25 or 30 years this meet has been going on, but they have not been able to turn in the marks that were hung up yesterday. It's no place for spectators, but it's o.k. for the competitors.
The starter also set a new track record in getting the 60-yard dash underway . . . They finally got off on the sixth start . . . Elmer Hackney looked like he was aiming at one of the lights while he was throwing the shot . . . He just came out of the dressing room long enough to set a new record, then disappeared again. . . During the two-mile race Harris walked along and talked to Coach Hargiss for awhile, then hustled along to finish third on his bad ankle . . .
The Wildcats swept all the points in the shot put and high hurdles . . .
High jumper Solt of K-State gave the bar a good bouncing when he got off his winning leap, but it stayed on . . . Paul Masoner, last year's low hurdle ace, was at the finish line to greet Foy when he came in with his valuable second place.

Ghosts Win, 42-36 But Hexagons Give Them Scare
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
A desperate rally by the Hexagons in the last 10 minutes of play last night gave the unbeaten Galloping Ghosts the worst scare they have had this season. The Ghosts won by a score of 42 to 36. Chester Gibbons led the second half attack for the Hexagons, gathering 13 points in this period.
Despite the loss of Gene Hiatt, a center with a 11.1 average, Sigma Alpha Epsilon triumphed over Kappa Sigma. 26 to 18. Ziegelmeyer and Hall paced the Sig Alph's to victory.
Displaying its usual powerhouse offense, Phi Gamma Delta won over Phi Kappa Psi, 56 to 32. Fine individual performances were turned in by Hambric, Healy, and Morris, all Phi Gams, and Meade, Phi Psi. The Phi Gam's are tied with the Delta Chl's and the Sig Alph's for the leadership of Division I.
Sigma Chi moved back into the win column with an impressive win over a weak Triangle five, 40 to 15. The Sigma Chi's were never pressed and

Kansas Loses Cage Thriller By Two Points
Stillwater, Okla., Feb. 16—A tight-guarding Oklahoma Aggie team came from behind here last night to nose out the Kansas Jayhawkers, 24 to 22, and even the score between the two cage powers this year. Kansas had won 34 to 30 in the season's opener at Lawrence.
Trailing 15 to 18 at the half, the Cowboys held "Phog" Allen's lads to two field goals in the last period to chalk up their twentieth consecutive victory of the season and their forty-fourth straight at home.
Renick Breaks Tie
It was Jess "Cab" Renick's only goal of the evening, coming with three minutes left in the ball game, that broke the 22-22 tie and handed his mates the victory. Kansas got a few hurried shot in the waning minutes, but could not connect.
After A. and M. had gone out after an early 13 to 8 lead, the Jayhawkers went to work and buckets by Ralph Miller, Bob Allen, and Bruce Voran put them ahead, 14 to 13. They went on to take it 18 to 15 by halftime.
Engleman Hits Twice
Jayhawk Tank Team Meets K-State Tomorrow
In the final chukker Howard Engleman, Kansas forward hobbling around on an injured knee, was the only Jayhawk who could find the range. He rustled the netting twice to tie the score after the Punchers had gone ahead, 22 to 18 on buckets by Slade, Eggleston, and Schwertfeger.
Slade and Swertfeger led the scoring with seven points each, with Bruce Voran pacing the visitor's attack with three goals.
The teams must have set a new low in personal fouls. Only two were called against the Jayhawker, both on John Kline, and the Aggies were charged with only five. Each team tallied twice from the free throw line.
The Robinson gymnasium pool will be churning aplenty tomorrow afternoon when the Kansas State tank team comes to town to match strokes with the Jayhawker mermen. The meet will get underway at 3 o'clock.
It will be the Kansas team's first meet of the season after having the Iowa State affair postponed because of a blizzard and the Oklahoma dual cancelled for lack of finances.

Win in Relay Hands Aggies Indoor Dual
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
The proverbial inch is still as good as a mile and that about tells the story of the 55 1-2 to 48 1-2 defeat which Kansas State pinned on K.U. in a dual track meet in the improvised field house below the stadium here yesterday afternoon. The Jayhawkers went into the final event, the mile relay, trailing by two points and were beaten out at the finish by less than a step.
Six meet records were broken and one tied during the afternoon and at no time after the first three events did the score vary more than a couple of points. A crowd of approximately 200 persons stood around the track and followed the events, sometimes so closely that it was necessary to call a halt to clear the track.
Fleet little Darrel Mathes came from behind with a burst of speed to overtake Akors and win the 60-yard dash in the record breaking time of 6.3 seconds.
A record shattering performance by Ray Harris gave him first place in the mile. Turning in a 4:29.9 mile on an injured ankle, he lowered the previous record held by Miller of Kansas State.
Mathes Takes Dash
Another record came in the pole vault. Jack O'Hara, sophomore, bet? tered his teammate Bill Bevens in

Don Thompson trailed all the way in fourth place in the 880-yard race and then with a remarkable last lap kick came in the winner by about six yards. Filling in on the high jump card he placed second to Soil of Kansas State who barely missed in a try for a new meet record.
Elmer "One-Man Gang" Hackney, national collegiate shot put champion, had little trouble in winning his specialty. After breaking one of the lights hanging from a beam with his first heave he set a new meet record of 47 feet $7 \frac{1}{2}$ inches with his second. Aggie men took second and third also.
J. R. Jones, Kansas sophomore, competing although suffering from an old back injury received in high school, won the broad jump. Obviously off form, his leap of 21 feet 11 inches was god enough to edge out Solt in second position.

LADY LOVE
OFF TO VOLUNTARY EXILE: Right now if you had to choose the one and only brand of cigarette you would smoke through a whole year—you'd make sure you picked the right brand. The men on the Antarctic expedition were in a situation like that. The expedition took Camels! Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd explained: "Slow-burning Camels are a great favorite with us." You, yourself, may never go near the South Pole, but the right cigarette is important to you, too. Camels give you extra mildness, extra coolness, and extra flavor—plus extra smoking in every pack. (See below.)
"MORE PLEASURE PER PUFF... MORE PUFFS PER PACK"...
That's how these three members of the U. S. Antarctic expedition tell of the advantages of their favorite cigarette...slow-burning Camels. Richard Moulton, senior dog-driver (center), sums up when he says: "Slow burning is my measure of a milder, cooler, more flavorful smoke. I'd sledge a mile for a Camel." Nothing destroys a cigarette's delicate elements of flavor and fragrance like the excess heat of too-fast burning. Cigarettes that burn fast also burn hot. Camels are slower-burning...milder, mellower, and — naturally—cooler! Try Camels. Find out for yourself how slow-burning Camels give you more pleasure per puff...and more puffs per pack—more actual smoking (see right).

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
YOU SAID IT
Opinions expressed in these letters do not necessarily reflect the views of the editors of the Kansan. The editorial page will, each Friday, be given over completely to the publication of communications from students and faculty members.
Since my latest visit home, between semesters, I have wondered if there is real value to the County Club movement. It seems to me that students who are members of a County Club put on too many airs when they go home. At least, those from my home town do.
Just because one is a student at KU (and County Club members are not the only offenders) is no reason why he should feel so high and mighten when he goes back to the old home town, or why he should look down hjs nose at the home town folks. One K.U. student I know acts like a king when he goes home, as if being in K.U. lifts him above the common level and makes him too good for the folks back home.
To the Editor:
This certainly is not good publicity for the University. The idea of the County Club, as I see it, is to acquaint the people of the state with the University, to explain to them what is going on here on the Hill. It has also been pointed out that the Clubs can do much toward white-washing the school's face out in the state.
When You Go Home
But all of the good that may be done by the movement is undone when students go home and lord it over their fellows. Being a student here does not make one any better than anyone else, and does not give one the right to snub the home town gang, to act as if one were actually superior. It makes one feel that college has done such persons more harm than good.
After all, KU. students should remember that the people of the state made the University possible, and are continuing its existence by reason of the taxes they pay. If thoughtless students act too superior and intolerant they might very easily harm the state university.

No to the Public.
To the Editor:
There is no reason on earth why the Junior Prom has to be opened to the public. After all, it is a University dance, a class party, and should be only for University students. The general public should not be admitted.
I have nothing against the general public, but I think that if Mr. Littooy cannot induce enough University students to come to the dance to make up the contract guarantee (if any), then he should cut down the admission price so that it is more within the reach of students. We're not putting this class party on just to make money, and I feel that it should be limited to University students.

Bridge Course Is 86
To the Editor:
A recent letter in your You Said It department suggested that the University include in its curriculum a course in the study of bridge, a card game that is known to be quite popular among college students, both in their leisure hours and in those hours which are not supposed to be for leisure.
If one wishes to learn the game, he should do it socially. Only by playing the game can one become even fairly proficient at it. The game is not one which can be learned in a classroom. With an instructor, classes to attend, lessons to get, and exams to take, the game would soon loose its interest for many of us. And besides, students would then have no reason for cutting classes.
There is no doubt that many of those who play bridge are the worst dopes at the game that could be
I am sure that the writer of that letter was speaking with considerable levity when he made the suggestion. College is no place to study bridge, that is, academically.
imagined, and certainly need some sort of formal training in the various rudiments of the game. But it is better that they get this in a house or in a jelly joint.
SIDNEY ROTHMAN.
I want to commend the Kansan and its editorial staff on its excellent handling of labor situations and problems in recent months.
Labor Fan Speaks
To the Editor:
Especially since the adoption of the new tabloid size has the Kansan printed several worthwhile editorials regarding labor. Mr. John L. Lewis has taken new shape in my mind since reading these articles. I can see the meaning of some of the things that Lewis does, and their relationship to political and economic factors of vital interest today.
I am deeply interested in the problems of labor, and can see in the Kansan's editorials an insight into the problems and an ability at outlining them that is above the usual.
I sincerely hope the Kansan's editorial staff will continue its interpretation of the labor situation.

In Wartime England--- Returns to Oxford After Fifteen Years
W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, and Mrs. Sandelius missed the latest mutual play of European armaments when they left England but a few days before the war's start in early September.
Commenting on the British attitude toward war last summer, Prof. Sandelius said: "There was, of course, a good deal of attention to international relations. Several stressed the note that it was more important that in the end the war should be won than that Britain should appear not to be losing prestige in some of the earlier diplomatic crises of the pre-war time."
But the purpose of the trip, fundamentally, was that Professor Sandelius might attend the summer session at Oxford University. The Oxford graduate was returning to his alma mater after 15 years.
In fact they were in mid-ocean when Hitler refused to denounce his "all or nothing" ultimatum.
During Professor and Mrs. Sandelius' stay in France, they decied that the French were the most civilized people in the world.
Professor Sandelius had planned to study at the British Museum, but it was closed and collections were being stored as a preparation for war.
Thirty nationalities were represented at the summer session, a period of academic instruction for which professors in England consider it an honor to be selected.
"After we arrived, Sept. 10, with Jim Farley as a fellow passenger, our boat laid a whole night beside the Statue of Liberty. With the refugees all up early in the morning to have their first look at New York, it was a fairly thrilling experience," said the professor.

Shocking even insulated Editor Jimmie Robertson, the preliminary versions of the "Confessions of a Coed" underwent their fourth rewrite today before their alleged appearance a week from Friday.
The "Confessions," nearly all of which are said to be based upon pure fact, have now been brought together in a composite story of a more subtle nature but still possessing more than a kick for the skeptic readers of late. The frank admissions in diary form are guaranteed to thrill even the hardened, Robertson said.

'Swell Reception'—
Limit Feb. Prom Sales To Students
The class party, originally scheduled for March 15, has been moved up to March 9, after it was found that Jimmy Dorsey and his band could be contracted on that night. Because of regulations against Sunday dancing in the University the party will begin at 8 and break up at midnight.
If the limited number of tickets, not yet set, is not sold by March 1, the sales will be opened to anyone who has $2, Littooy said.
Eight Kansas City Youths Placed in City Jail
Fred Littooy, l'42, student dance manager, announced yesterday that only students of the University would be permitted to buy tickets to the Junior Prom until March 1. This restriction has been placed on the sale of pasteboards to eliminate the large number of class party tickets going to outsiders and brokers, Litttooy said.
By Stan Stauffer, c'42
The boys explained that they had left Kansas City shortly after noon yesterday and were going back when they were arrested. They said they were members of a "West-side gang."
Eight youthful Kansas Citians who made what they termed a good will tour to Lawrence yesterday afternoon were not very favorably impressed with Lawrence opportunities. Shortly after their arrival the boys, ranging from 15 of 17 years of age, were locked in the city jail.
"This is sure a swell reception. We've gone to a lot of towns around Kansas City, but they've never put us in jail for it before" were some of the comments from the youths whose spirits were not broken by their confinement. "We have better jails than this in Kansas City. When do you eat around here?" came from the back cell.
The youths told officers that they hadn't run away from home but had merely made an afternoon trip to Lawrence on a freight train to see the University. We were on our way home when you caught us, the said.
Students will be required to show their activity books when buying tickets at Bell's Music store, the College business office, or the Hostess' desk in the Memorial Union building.
Police picked up the West Kansas City "deadend" kids in north Lawrence yesterday at 3 p.m. where they were reported going from door to door asking handouts. The eight youths were booked as run-aways and licked up until their parents, who were notified, could call for them.

Name 3 Groups To Enforce Ban on Smoking
By Regiwald Buxton, c'40
Names of members of three committees, delegated to enforce the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. "no smoking" laws, were made known last night.
There are six positions open to freshmen, the only new members to be selected. The rest of the committee is composed of the senior student manager, two juniors, and four sophomores, who are chosen by the merit of their work last year.
Applications of freshman who seek positions on the student committee in charge of the Kansas Relays must be sent to room 107, Robinson gymnasium, in care of the student manager, Burr Sifers, before Feb.26, it was announced yesterday by Sifers and E.R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education. The applicant must state his qualifications in a written letter and will later be interviewed by Sifers and Elbel.
The enforcement committees, appointed by Velma Wilson, c'40, president of the W.S.G.A. and C. H. Mullen, l'42, president of M.S.C., were named as a move to make more rigid the present enforcement of the act passed last October by the two councils
The juniors named are Ernest Klema, c'41, and Larry Winn, c'41; sophomores are Bob Edison, c'42; Bob Woodward, c'42, Fred Robertson, c'42, and Clinton Kanaga, c'42. The duties of the committee in-

Members of the faculty and the councils are on the committees.
Working in cooperation with the bodies of the two councils, the faculty, and the entire student body, the enforcements committees will affect only that small percent of the student body which have failed to obey the smoking act. Both Mullen and Wilson expressed satisfaction with the spirit of cooperation most of the students have shown in stopping smoking in fire hazardous buildings.
Members of the faculty committee are Henry Werner, adviser of men; Leonard Axe, associate professor of economics; George J. Hood, professor of engineering. F. H. Mcreau, dean of the School of Law; C.

Philharmonic Concerts Tomorrow
Former Student Is Conductor

A son of Kansas will return to the University where he first studied music, when Karl Krueger and the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra appear tomorrow in Hoch auditorium for afternoon and evening concerts.
Mr. Krueger will lead the orchestra in a concert of lighter selections especially suited for children beginning at 2:15 Monday afternoon. Then at 8:20, the talented leader will take up his baton again to direct a program containing some of the gems of classical literature.
Born in Atchison, the son of a university professor, Krueger received his early schooling in the Middle West and attended the University of Kansas before going to Boston and later to New York for further musical study. He spent several years at the University of Heidelberg, and upon returning to America accepted the position of conductor of the Seattle Symphony orchestra.
Because he was unable to rid himself of the belief that his opportunity lay in the vicinity of his childhood home, the youthful conductor resigned his post in Seattle, and, in 1933, took over the position of conductor of the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. Since that time, the group his risen to a commanding position in the world of music.

A.D. Phi's Formed Fifth Sorority Here
By Helen Beth Faubion, c'43
Alpha Delta Pi, recognized as the oldest national secret organization for women, was the fifth social sorority on the University campus. There was no local predecessor to the chapter which was started here on May 15, 1912. It was started as part of the extension program of the National Sorority in 1911 and 1912.
Names of students enrolled in the University were given to the national officers by Mr. George O. Foster and the chapter was established After several preliminary meetings, held in Fraser hall, a petition consisting of letters of faculty women, views of the University, and photographs of the 11 women was sent to the active chapters and the national officers. The petition was passed by these groups and installation took place at seven o'clock in the morning May 15, 1912, the day of the national founding in Wesleyan College at Macon, Georgia as the Adelphean society.
In order to aid students, Alpha Delta Pi, at an early date, started the 1651 Memorial Fund and the Abigail Davis Student Loan Fund.
Since the beginning of the chapter, when there were 11 members, up to the present time when there are 45 members, Alpha Delta Pi has been prominent in campus affairs and its activities have brought honor to both the sorority and the University.

John Elden Completes Work After Spraining Ankle in Fall
Those who believe that the men of the "good old days" are gone forever should note this story of John Elden, c'42:

However, he walked home and went to work as usual that afternoon About 5:30 p.m.—after he had completed his work—he was admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital where his ankle was treated. Elden is recovering satisfactorily according to hospital report, and will be released from the hospital in a few days.

What Are You Giving Up for Lenten Season?
By Jean Boswell, c'42
"What am I giving up for Lent? Why deep sea diving and parachute jumping!" This, or a similar testimonial, can too often be heard from people of college age. It is doubtful if very many of us know the true meaning and origin of Lent
The Rev. John E. Bowers of this city says, "The Lenten season is a positive season, a season which we should use for spiritual training. It is a time for specialized religious growth, as the years which we spend at the University is a time for specialized intellectual training, that we may profit by this growth in the remainder of the year, as we profit in later years by the intellectual training we receive at college."
The Lenten season, beginning Ash Wednesday, which fell this year on Feb. 7, lasts for 40 weekdays and six Sundays. It commemorates the 40 days of fasting which Jesus kept preceding his crucifixion Good Friday, the Friday before Easter.
The plump girl who gives up candy and cake during the Lenten season with definite benefits to her figure in mind defeats the purpose of the sacrifice, while the boy who gives up smoking for these 46 days
in an effort to strengthen his self control, is benefited for his sacrifice. If you are giving up some small pleasure for this Lenten season, do it with the idea in mind that is helping you to grow spiritually.
Giving up that extra two hours of sleep on Sunday morning and attending church each week during Lent is one of the best of the minor ways in which each student can observe this Lent.
Plans for the coming convention of Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fraternity, were discussed Tuesday by the executive council of the Kansas Alpha Chapter meeting at the home of Miss Rosemary Ketchum, professor of design and sponsor of the group.

Bill Hargiss Still In There Pitchin'
By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
Bill Hargiss is a pretty fair sized man. He stands about 6 feet 4 inches tall and probably weighs 225 pounds. However, the Jayhawker track coach's displacement doesn't give you an accurate picture of how big he is.
Hargiss probably qualifies for the title "most unlucky man in America" after all that has happede to his cinder team, yet he continues to go after all that has happened to his face and says, "We'll have a track team, anyway, before the season is over."
The thing that makes Bill big can't be measured with scales and tape.
Mt. Oread has never given track a
lot of house. It warts up to the Relays, and there have been a few individual stars come along, notably Jim Bausch and Glenn Cunningham, but in the main Kansas track has been kicked around like a cross-eyed step child.
KANSAS
In the face of this Hargiss went to work to build up the sport and last year would have won the Big Six outdoor meet, if it hadn't been for injuries to several of his key men.
The plague began in the summer when Dick Overfield decided to pull stakes and enroll at Compton Junior College, a farm school for Southern California. Overfield was nearing world record time in the sprints and would have mopped up on everything in the loop.
It looked like Bill might have got all the jinxes worked out of his system and be ready to go to town this year, but last spring's crop multiplied instead of dying out.
The next blow fell at the end of the fall semester when 22 men on whom Bill was counting were declared ineligible.
Bill Hargiss
All the high jumper and shot putters were chopped down when the academic axe fell. Imagine having
six boys in school who can average 6 feet 2 inches in the high jump and not a one of them eligible. With his first four weight men out of competition, Bill hasn't got a shot putter who can even come close to the 40 foot mark.
Even this might not have been so bad, had not Bob Stoland, the team's co-captain and scoring star been barred. Stoland was the Big Six champion in both the high jump and broadjump last year and a fine student besides, but he enrolled in one hour too few the two semesters preceding competition and there will be no track for Bob this year.
At Lincoln Ray Harris, fine distance runner and other co-captain, stepped on the track curbing and injured his ankle. He won't regain his usual form for another week or two.
Coming back from the meet with the Huskers, one of the cars turned over on the icy pavement and five
of the athletes were scratched and shaken up.
All this might have caused an ordinary man to throw up his hands and quit, but not Bill Hargiss. He's scouring the Hill for more talent and working all the harder.
"I believe there are plenty of good athletes in these houses that could make points for us, if they would just come out," the track mentor said yesterday.
He went on to say that he will be more than glad to give any man a suit who comes down to the stadium and asks for it. "We have plenty of them," he said, "just waiting for runners, and jumpers, and throwers, to come and get in them."
Later on Bill plans to have a meet between his regular team, and the rest of the men in school who are not elligible. In this class will be freshmen and upper classmen who have failed to make their grades.
SIMONIZING. SPORTS
By JAY SIMON
What this country needs is more good, clean forms of athletics such as swimming meets. Yesterday afternoon's tank dual with the Aggies brought lots of thrills to the small crowd that packed the margin of the 50 foot pool.
Dr. F. C. Allen suggests that they reduce the size of the ball rather

Aside from the fact that Kansas State-K.U. games are noted for being hotly contested because of the intense rivalry, the K-State outlook is gloomy. The Wildcats have been fighting a plague of injuries all season and three regulars probably will be on the sidelines even for the last game on the schedule.
Wildcats Want Revenge
Manhattan, Feb. 17.-Rapid-fire action between two rivals of long standing is promised here Tuesday night when Kansas State's basketers set out to close their 1939-40 season by marring the Big Six conference title dreams of K.U.'s Jayhawks and reap revenge for that 34 to 33 defeat suffered at Lawrence earlier in the season.
The Mt. Oread quintet has but one conference defeat against four victories and is planning a final spurt which will not another championship. But the Jayhawks may find stiff opposition at Manhattan in Coach Jack Gardner's strategy and a hustling, enthusiastic K-State gang which would rather beat K.U. than any team on its schedule.

K-State Won't Allow Jayhawker Rooters
Manhattan, Feb. 17. — Kansas University students today were warned not to come to Manhattan in hopes of seeing the Kansas State-K.U. basketball game here Tuesday night.
"Absolutely no tickets will be sold for the game," said Frank L. Myers, assistant to the director of athletics. Only Kansas State students with activity books will be admitted to the gymnasium.
The 30-year-old Nichols gymnasium will hold only 2,800 persons and the student body numbers approximately 4,000. Approximately 400 persons were turned away at the Missouri-Kansas State game here Feb. 5.
but little competition. Ernie Miller, senior guard and balance wheel of the attack, was deprived of competing in a single Big Six game because of a fractured jaw suffered early in January against Kentucky.
First semester finals took Dan Howe, forward and center, and injuries have kept Ervin Reid, senior center, and Joe Robertson, lanky senior forward, out since Feb. 2. None of these players is expected to see action Tuesday.
Gardner will be counting on the guarding ability of Melvin Seelye and Norris Holstrom to hold down such high Jayhawk scorers as Bob Allen, center, and Ralph Miller and Don Ebling, forwards. The K-State point making responsibility will fall largely on Chris Langvardt, a scrapy forward who has made rapid strides in the court game, and Jack Horacek, a sophomore whose eye has placed him among the leading scorers in the conference. The Wildcats also will be watching Bruce Veran, K.U. guard who dropped in the free throw that spelled defeat for Kansas State in the game at Lawrence.

Next week-end the Jayhawkers will leave on a two-game jaunt to the northern end of the league to play Nebraska Saturday night and Iowa State Monday.
If the Kansans get by these three contests, all they have to do to win the flag is trim Missouri here before a sellout crowd, March 1, and then take the hustling Oklahoma Sooners at Norran, March 8.
Other Big Six games this week will find Oklahoma playing Oklahoma A. and M. Tuesday night at Norman and Thursday night Missouri and Iowa State will tangle at Columbia.
The last time out Kansas lost to the Oklahoma Aggies, 24 to 22, for its third loss of the season.

G.M. Beal Plans Architects Banquet
Prof. G.M. Beal, chairman of student affairs in the School of Architecture and Engineering, announced yesterday that plans are being made for the program of the architecture and engineering banquet to be held here March 28.
Word was received last week from Paul Starett, former Lawrence boy who was contractor for the Empire State building, that he would be unable to give the main address. A well-known man in engineering circles, Starett also sent an autographed copy of his new book "Changing the Skyline" which is to be placed in the department library. Starett's father was builder and pastor of the old Presbyterian church
in Lawrence and was known by many Lawrence residents.
Plans will be completed in the next week for another speaker and the remainder of the program, according to Professor Beal.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
"Happy Days" are here again. It's H. L. Mencken's latest work, a partial autobiography telling of the boyhood of the Baltimore bully, who prudently closes the tale at the end of his twelfth year.
Mencken Retrospects: Child Fathers Man
The former editor of the American Mercury gives his reader opportunity to suspect that no disaster, cataclysm of nature, or act of God that took place in Baltimore, Maryland, ever surpassed the importance of the event that took place there Sept. 12, 1880—Mencken's birth.
These were not the least of the anti-social activities of the boy described by a critic as the Tom Sawyer of Baltimore. The elder Mencken was owner of a cigar factory. This barflighty parent took Henry with him on his frequent trips to Washington. Sipping sarsaparilla while his father ardently tilted the pail, the literary critic-to-be "learned America from the brass rail up."
That day marked the beginning of twelve years of the reign of one of the most detestable infants ever inflicted upon mankind, and upon the police, trainmen, and Negroes of Baltimore in particular. Mencken's book describes himself as a chubby tot with "scow-like beam and noticeable jowls" who learned to play the piano and use big words, to "razz" the cops, steal fruit, lie blandly, string up cats by the hind legs, and drop "offensive objects" on trainmen as they passed under grade crossings.
But while "Happy Days" lends mortal support to the Freudian theory that all little boys are natural roughnecks, (and Mencken one of the first water), the book leaves little doubt that the present peer of American illuminati was innately a sweet and cherubic youth who profited greatly from the homespun teachings of his
Students Alone Are Responsible
The adoption of a preparatory class in English for those planning to take the English proficiency examination in the spring offers opportunity for students to prepare themselves adequately for the coming examinations.
Why not take advantage of the preparatory class in English?
Ability to speak, read, and write one's native language is not too much to ask of a college graduate. But if a college student can not do all three, he should at least do everything in his power to develop in himself the ability to write clearly and fluently.
Each student who plans to graduate must pass the proficiency exam. Approximately 78 per cent of the students who enrolled for the exams last year passed them. While such a low per cent is a disgrace, it is also a hardship when one considers that those who fail must spend junior-senior hours repeating a freshman course in English, unless private study will enable them to improve sufficiently to pass the examination on the second try.
"There are no methods which will succeed in teaching everyone to spell correctly and to think straight. They are means to an end, and come to life, if at all, only because of the energy which they generate in teacher and student," says Professor T. Baird in The Amherst Graduates' Quarterly.
Teutonic forbears. Mencken refers to himself as "a larva of the comfortable and complacent bourgeosie."
The Baltimore of the 80's is the setting of the author's memoir—a Baltimore that represented an ebullient era in American life. Only Mencken could picture the Baltimore of that time, when life was full and free, when summer meant typhoid and autumn meant malaria, the Baltimore of noisy industry, ever growing, ever smelly, and ever magnificent. Picturesque and poignant, romantic and roisterous, sympathetic and satisfying, Mencken limns Baltimore as the backdrop for the "evolution of the bourgeois larva into the potential Mencken."
"Happy Days," lucidly written picture of a dead era and its product, need fear no Quiller-Couch. The "lusty and gusty" Mr. Mencken "has no other desire than to prove . . . that the child is still the father of the man."

By Proxy
Since the first day of September, we have been intrigued by watching an unusual phenomenon—the sprouting of innumerable organizations designed to crystallize student opinion into action. . . If we seem to be impatient with these upstart peace groups, it is not because our ideas... are so different from theirs..
When we are asked within a week to unite with the American Student Union, the Union of Collegiate Newspapers for American Peace, the front for Peace, the Youth Committee Against War, and the Committee on Mobilization, we begin to wonder if some individual or group sponsor is not interested most of all in personal notoriety...
We agree with almost all the ultimate aims of programs that have been presented by these organizations. We should like, however, to see some semblance of sanity in their hastily mailed pleas for membership.
Student opinion will make itself known without the use of a megaphone. It may now be time for students to act, but unless we miss our guess, almost all of these indigenous peace groups will wither as quickly as they have bloomed, and long before they have accomplished their stated purposes.The Daily Iowan.

Over Campus in Air Go Flight Training Pilots
By Ruth Spencer, c'41
Campus coeds and fellows, "private flyers of tomorrow", soar regularly over Mt. Oread in little Aerona 65', now that more than 40 students, exclusive of the government's civilian trained flyers, are taking private flight instruction.
After Helen Hay and Alys Magill, c'40, made their debut last fall as would-be aviatrices, enthusiastic followers with a potential love for aviation appeared.
Stacking up hours of flight training is great sport for University women. Their increased interest in aviation has encouraged Helen Hay, c'40, to plan the organization of a Hill chapter of Women's National Aeronautical Association, which she hopes to get into full swing this semester.
Betty Wyatt, c'42, soon made her first solo. Nadine Bitter, c'41, and Elizabeth White, c'42, the "K.U. early-bird flyers" cruise over the Hill regularly at daybreak. Priscilla Adams, c'43, and Barbara Daniels, c'41, have made several flights under pilot instruction.
Flying photographer Herbert Anderson, e'41, teamed with Ernest Wilkey, e'40, private licensed pilot, to take moving pictures of his alma mater. Raymond Wagner, e'40, will soon receive his private license. His
Dale Goodrick, gr.; Robert Hoisington, c'43; Karl Shawver, c'41; Stanley McLead, c'43; and Wayne Whelan, b'41, have been regular attendants at the Ashcraft flying field. Everett Allison, fs. will receive his flight instructor's rating in the near future.
Just how quickly private flying will advance remains a question.
These University private flyers have ideal surrounding country in which to train. The region not, only is situated in the center area of the United States, but also it offers numerous emergency fields in case of forced landings. Away from large industrial plants, it is free from congested air-traffic.
Instructors of the Civil Aeronautical Authority available at the Ashcraft Brothers' flying field, serve as reliable training supervisors. The level field runways are desirable and essential for satisfactory air-travel. Safe emergency landing can be made from any direction.
All that holds most lovers of sky flying on the ground is lack of time for perfecting the art of efficient aviation. When this obstacle is overcome, the "folk at home" perhaps will equip their sons and daughters with airplanes as well as text books.

Glenn's Fame as Speaker Matches Track Laurels
Dr. Glenn Cunningham of the University of Kansas is making a new reputation for himself in the East, not as a runner but as a speaker. His speeches on clean living and clean athletics have been unusually successful, according to reports coming to the lecture bureau here.
Director of physical education of Camden, N.J. writes that Cunningham spoke to 10,000 high school students in South New Jersey and they want him back again next year.
was the most concise and direct talk on clean living, clean athletics, and clean scholarship that I have heard," by the secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
From Steubenville, Ohio comes this report, "Cunningham's lecture
"Cunningham held the audience in the palm of his hand. His talking is as excellent as his running," wrote the secretary of the Hartford, Conn. Y.M.C.A.
Greenwich, Conn, sent word that Cunningham was the best speaker to come to Greenwich in years.
Two High Schools Retain Titles
Cunningham lectures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of each week, and on Saturday defends his titles on the cinder track.
Russell and Cullison high schools retained their state championships in the Kansas State High School Activities association debate tournament here yesterday afternoon in class A and C divisions, respectively, and Fredonia high school triumphed in the class B section.
Fredonia, winner of the class B division, and Valley Falls, runnerup in the same section, were the only finalists which swept through the semifinals without speaker rankings determining the issue. Valley Falls eliminated Abilene high school, last year's winner in the semi-finals.
In the other two divisions, the teams were hard pressed to reach the last round, Russell defeating Newton, which had advanced to the finals on speaker rankings, and Cullison winning over Eskridge, which had also reached the finals via the speaker ranking route.
Approximately 170 debaters and their coaches, representing 29 Kansas high schools participated in the tournament, and heard H. S. Ingham, director of the extension division, announce the results of the final session Saturday afternoon in Fraser hall.
Awards included trophies presented to the first and second place winners in each class by the University of Kansas and individual medals given to the members of the winning teams by the Kansas High School Activities association.

'Quality Street To a Full House Friday Night
"It was one of the most enthusiastic crowds I have ever seen," Robert Calderwood, associate professor of the speech and dramatic arts said yesterday, after the audience called four curtains at the end of "Quality Street" in its final performance Friday night.
Not only were the seats completely sold out, but also more than 25 persons purchased standing room. Ticket sales for the four-night run were lower than usual. However, according to Don Dixon, assistant instructor of speech and dramatic arts, "This was probably due to the fact that many of the students hadn't yet received activity books.
The play, termed by many as the "best play in years," a sentimental-comic combination, drew tears and laughs, and applause from the audience like no other play for the past few years. Jack Nelson and Mary Noel, talented University Thespians had the leads.
The department of speech and dramatic arts is now deciding on the play which will be presented on April 8.

"There once was a time when hubby scowled every time he put on a clean shirt. I'd hear mutterings about "sawtooth collars," and "cast iron starching" and — you get the idea. But since Independent has been doing my laundry I haven't heard a word . . . in fact, he actually told me he was pleased! No wonder, they seem to take personal expert care on each garment.

3 Violate Smoking Ban
Karl Krueger Philharmonic Play to 2,000
Bv Bob Trump, c'42
Neither wind nor snow nor sleet nor slush could stay the interest of more than 2,000 music lovers who almost filled the lower floor of Hoch auditorium last night to enjoy the concert played by Karl Krueger and the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra.
Nearly 1,000 more attended the special children's concert yesterday afternoon.
Exhibiting the skill and finesse which caused Viennese critics to rank him second only to Arturo Toscanini Mr. Krueger led the orchestra through a program of six brilliant numbers and when the concert was finished, the enthusiastic audience would not let him go.
Plays Encore
After the crowd had demanded and received four curtain calls, Mr. Krueger returned to the conductor's stand and led the orchestra in the presentation of "Finlandia" by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
Bows for Skilton
Of special interest to students and faculty members of the University was the first number on the evening's program. Handel's "Suite in E minor," which had been transcribed by Charles S. Skilton, professor of organ in the School of Fine Arts.
When the orchestra had completed the composition, Mr. Krueger turned toward Professor Skilton, who was seated in the audience, and signaled for him to rise. Then, standing together, director and composer received the plaudits of the audience.
Among other high spots on the program was the playing of the majestic "Symphony in D minor" (Franck); the lively "Scherzo from the Midsummer Night's Dream" (Mendelsohn); and the impressionistic tone poem "The Afternoon of a Faun" (Debussy.)
Palmer Hearing Is Continued
The hearing of Mr. and Mrs. Robert N. Palmer who are charged with possession of liquor was continued and will be heard at a later date in district court.
Palmer, a graduate student of the University, and his wife, Mrs. Wilma Palmer, were scheduled to appear in the justice court of Robert Oyler to answer their charges yesterday afternoon.

Extremely pessimistic over America's chances of remaining neutral during the Second World War, H. R. Knickerbocker, well-known foreign correspondent who has just returned from the war zone, will recount adventures in the trenches when he speaks at 8:20 p.m. tomorrow in Hoch auditorium.
It is Mr. Knickerbocker's belief that the world is on the brink of ar- other hundred years war. He thinks that the present conflict between Germany and the Allied governments will probably last at least six years, but that this war will be only a prelude to the greater war that is to come.
The international correspondent who goes so far as to say that none of us living today will see a real peace in our time, will discuss fully the consequences of the present conflict and the possibilities of this country's involvement in the European situation.

The affirmative team won five out of five debates. The negative team composed of Irving Kuraner, c'40, and Mac Wynne, c'40, won four out of five debates. The University debate and speech team placed second in the entire tournament and received a plaque.
Accompanied by Prof. E. C. Buehler, debate coach, the following students made the trip: Bob McKay, b'40; Wynne, Kuraner, Stewart, and Park.
Enroute to Denver, the team presented a debate and open forum at Russell, a debate and two speeches at Hays, and five speeches at Colby. A debate was also presented at Ellsworth.

Grimes-Flood Nuptials At Hays
Accessories Brighten Drab Suits
If you are tired of hopping mud puddles, braving cold winds and think that spring will never come, hurry it along by adding some touch of color to that drab black dress or suit.
Spring will not seem so far away if you wear one of the new bright necklaces around your throat. Never have they been so colorful and unusual. The bright little cyclinders formed to make a clown's ruff; the complete vine and vegetable necklace, or a Bali chain made of gaudy features will do wonders for a dark dress or sweater. White chains of celluloid circles, delicately blown glass bubbles or pastel daisies strung on contrasting chains, will make spring seem just around the corner.
Wear white-turbaned blackamoor heads strung on a link chain with a bracelet to match if you want to be smart. Since this is a season of old-fashion frills and flowers you will be in line if you wear porcelain panies on a chain around your wrist or a clip made of a cluster of them on the lapel of your suit.
Big clunky bangles are new for your wrists, with shining identification tags marked with your name or initials. Some bracelets dangle gold or silver-plated hearts from a dainty chain, also marked with initials.
Added touches of color can be obtained by clipping bright plastic roses or other gay flowers on the lapel 'of a suit or at the neck of a dress or blouse.
Fields Will Play At Negro Varsity
Boasting a solid aggregation of versatile showmen, Ernie Fields will bring "America's Sweetest Swing Band" to the Memorial Union Ballroom Friday night to play at the annual varsity for colored students. This is the first time a "name" band has been secured for the party.
Beginning as a jam band in Tulsa. Fields' orchestra is the Mid-West's newest contribution to big time. Included in its 15-man personnel are two vocalists, a quartette and glee club. Featured are: Rene Hall, guitar, Melvin Moore, vocalist; Big Chief Moore, trombone; Buck Douglas and Luther West, saxes.
The Band has been featured in such spots as "Venice Pier," Los Angeles; "Trianon," Seattle; "Cocanut Grove," Salt Lake City; "Apollo Theatre," New York City; Boston's "Roseland," and Chicago's "Savoy."
Fields' recordings of "T-Town Blues" and "Living in A Great Big Way." have made him a favorite with dancers. Others of his famous hot and sweet hits include: "High Jivin", "Blues at Midnight", "Bless Your Heart", and "Lord Stomp."

Battle With K-State Tonight
Simonizing SportS
By JAY SIMON
Just as if it wasn't enough to be playing five of these last six games on the road, the Jayhawker basketball team has to subject itself to the "final game fling" of five of its six remaining opponents.
Tonight at Manhattan the Kansas State five drops an early curtain on it's 1939-40 basketball drama. Saturday night at Lincoln the Nebraska Cornhuskers close out the campaign against Dr. F. C. Allen's pennant-bent Jayhawkers.
March 1 when Missouri comes to Mt. Oread for what is expected to be the championship game the Tigers will have played out their string. March 4 the Jayhawkers run up to Omaha for a game with Creighton and the Bluejays will be bidding adieu to the hardwoods until next winter.
When Kansas plays Oklahoma,
at Norman, March 8, it will not
only close the season for the Soon-
ers, but also for the Jayhawkers
and the Big Six conference as well.
From here on out the only team Kansas plays that is not out for its last chance is Iowa State, Feb. 27 at Ames. And any time you think a team doesn't fight just a little bit harder when it knows it's the last chance to salvage a little glory for the season or some of the seniors think about it being their last game of collegiate basketball, then peaches aren't fruit.
Johnny Kline, the big rebounder who can do just about everything but make free throws, is learning to shoot them with one hand. Up to now the only time Kline has aimed from the charity line was on the first of two free throws or when double fouls were committed. His percentage was so poor that on singles he took the ball out of bounds instead of trying the shot. But now Coach Allen has Johnny laying the leather on his right hand, steadying it momentarily with his left, and shooting it up much as a bowler heaves his spherical weapon. He is getting much better results than he did with the conventional, two-handed method.
The Jayhawkers may forsake their sterotyped, "three men out-two men in" offense for awhile tonight in favor of a formation that puts the pivot man under the basket and a forward in each corner... Red Littler, Nebraska speedster, tied the American indoor record for the 300-yard dash when he negotiated the distance in 31.2 at the Illinois Relays Saturday night . . . And the Huskers' Hunt cleared 13 feet 6 inches in the pole vault which makes him look awful mean to the rest of the Big Six rod-riders . . . The Washington University swimming team, which competed with the Jayhawk mermen here this afternoon, was outspashed by the Kansas State tankers yesterday at Manhattan . . . It will be a busy day, athletically, for Kansas Saturday.

The Jayhawker basketball team goes to Manhattan tonight for a rousing game with the Aggies to open its second half drive toward the Big Six title.
Kansas State should give the Allenmen a real battle, if recent games with the Wildcats are any indication. Last year at Manhattan the Jayhawkers had to make the most sensational rally of the season to pull the game out of the fire. With only 10 minutes to play, Kansas trailed by 12 points, but it won 40 to 38.
First Game Close
Earlier this season the two teams clashed at Lawrence in a thriller which the Jayhawks won, 34 to 33, when Bruce Voran dropped a free throw with only six seconds to go.
Despite the fact the Wildcats are closing their season tonight, and will be battling for all they are worth, they may not be as troublesome as they were here. Ervin Reid, star center, is injured and may not play at all. Danny Howe, crack sophomore forward, was lost when he failed to make his grades, and Joe Robertson, senior forward, is out

with an injured ankle.
They will be counting heavily on a pair of guards, Melvin Seelye and Norris Holstrom, who played brilliantly in the game here. Engleman A Starter.
Dr. F. C. Allen said this morning he planned to start Ralph Miller and Howard Engleman at forwards, Bob Allen at center, and Dick Harp and Bruce Voran at guards.
gleman A Starter
Kansas must win tonight in order to stay in the running with Missouri for the Big Six championship. Saturday night the Jayhawkers go to Lincoln to meet Nebraska and continue on to Ames for a Monday night game with Iowa State.
Johnny Kline, big rebounder, and Don Ebling, streaking forward, will carry the brunt of the relief duty.
The cagers go to Lincoln to meet Nebraska, the indoor track team will be off to Columbia for a dual with John Munski and company, and the swimming team will stay home to indulge in competitive bathing with the Cornhuskers.

A.-M., Sooners Tangle Tonight
Norman, Okla., Feb. 20—Winners of 21 consecutive basketball games, Coach Hank Iba's polished court Titans from Oklahoma A. and M. college will raid the Fieldhouse here tonight striving for a plunder they have obtained only once in the six years the Iron Duke has coached at Stillwater, a victory over Oklahoma's Sooners at Norman.
Because of their greater consistency and their famous clutch kick, Iba's Imps will be at least an even bet here Tuesday in spite of the Norman jinx. They might even be favored were it not for the fact that Coach Bruce Drake's boys are due to rebound strongly from the Missouri defeat. In that game Oklahoma hit only 14.7 percent of its shots.
Gordon Clucas, gr., has been named to succeed Ed Hall as the student athletic representative on the University of Kansas Athletic Board. C. H. Mullen, president of the M.S.C. made the appointment recently.
Since that upset loss, the Sooners, refreshed by a three-day practice layoff, have been licking their wounds and thinking about the Aggies and Tuesday night. Sensation of the Big Six race this year with six consecutive victories until the Tigers trimmed them, the university boys will try a comeback in an effort to regain prestige they lost in the Missouri defeat and also the previous beating at Stillwater.
At Stillwater last month Iba's team won, 26 to 19, although the score was tied 19-19 with only two minutes to go and the Sooners had the ball. Harvey Slade's clever passing and his long goals in the climax sparked the Aggie triumph, although Gene Smelzer's spirited rebound play and the tremendously tight Aggie defense also were factors.
Tonight's game looms as a lowscore, defensive combat, same as the recent battle at Stillwater when Coach Drake's Sooners locked the Aggies in as tight a defensive vice as the Farmers themselves twisted upon the Sooners.

Stretch Drive Just Ahead In Intramurals
As the intramural basketball season moves into the home stretch, certain teams loom up as possible title contenders. The championship playoff series will begin Wednesday, March 6.
Three teams lead the fraternity division, Division I, with only one defeat apiece. They are Delta Chi, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Alpha Epilon. Trailing these leaders closely are Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, and Alpha Tau Omega. The Delta Chi's are a cinch for a playoff berth. Their remaining opponents are Pi K. A. and the Phi Delt's. The Phi Gam's oppose the Acacia's, Sigma Nu's and Sig Ep's. None of these teams should give them trouble. The Sig Alph's engage the Delta Tau's.

Phi Delt's, and Phi Psi's in rapid succession.
Over a three-year span, the Galloping Ghosts have won 22 straight games and 36 out of 37 contests. This includes the two intramural championships. Sigma Alpha Epsilonioln is the only team that has beaten the Ghosts in three years. The Ghosts should win the remainder of their games with comparative ease. The Comets, only other unbeaten outfit in Division II, will give the Ghosts a battle, March 1.
Saturday, March 2, Alpha Kappa Psi and the powerhouse Buccaneer squad will meet in what should be the season's most exciting contest. The Buccaneers, in winning six victories have compiled the impressive point total of 275 to their victims' 59. The A. K. Psi's, in seven triumphant starts, have tallied an even 300 point to their opponents' 94. The Buccaneers boast such stars as Ulrich, Bourne, Vandeveer, and Lindquist to match such businessmen as Funk, Johnson, and Thompson.

Welles and America For Lasting Peace
With the visit of Sumner Welles, undersecretary of state, and Franklin Roosevelt's peace ambassador, to Europe, peoples of the world look to the west for that flicker which may be the light of tomorrow's peace.
The undersecretary will be received most cordially by the small neutral nations, who, living constantly under the shadow of war and destruction, are willing to accept almost any form of European settlement. Clutching at any straw, these smaller states can not afford to ignore the representative of a great western power.
On the other hand, however, Britain and France will serve as the greatest barrier to Welles' mission. The two nations have clearly stated that they will not modify their resolution to overthrow the Nazi regime and right the wrongs done to lesser nations by the Reich. No current happening can induce Britons to believe peace is in sight.
It is Welles' task, as a missionary of modern intelligent thought, therefore, to introduce anew to battle-shaken Europe the principles on which America's hopes and the hopes of the world are based: that there exists a universal right to life, liberty, and happiness, that unity of nations is more conducive to these rights than belligerency, and that, in the final balance, the gain of
Education Can End Syphilis
Since the first recognition of syphilis as a distinct disease, about 1,500, it has become enshrouded in an accumulated cloak of ignorance and disgrace.
No other disease has such a reputation. It has been termed a "loathsome" disease, a disease which has been characterized as a "pestilence comparable to the Black Death." Its usual means of acquisition made it a word to be whispered. And the human ear always has shown a marked affinity for garbling and distorting what it hears whispered.
Only within recent years has science learned to cope successfully with syphilis. Indeed, it was but thirty-five years ago that Fritz Schaudinn, a German zoologist, discovered the specific cause of syphilis, Treponema pallidum. A year later August von Wassermann introduced the diagnostic test which bears his name. In 1910 Paul Ehrlich discovered his arsenical preparation of salvarsan, 606, as a curative drug. Other pioneers in combating the disease have been Wagner von Jauregg, who in 1917 instituted the malarial treatment for the late nervous manifestations of syphilis, and Sarazec and Levatiti, who contributed bismuth as a therapeutic agent.
The greatest fight of all, however, has been in proving an adequate method of disseminating educational material to overcome the stigma which is associated with syphilis. Until that problem has been solved and syphilis is regarded as any other serious disease, ignorance and disgrace will still continue to be responsible for a large part of the infection of thousands of persons each year.
forcing one nation's will upon a lesser nation is futile.
★ ★ ★
Welles not only represents America. He represents the entire world, which hopes that he may be fortunate in finding a way toward permanent peace and security.
Swing or Sweet---- They Both Charm
Is swing slipping? During the last several months there has been a definite and rather apparent decline in the popularity of swing music. Some self-appointed critics or authorities attribute this decline to the oscillation of interest toward "sweet" music by the periodical faddists who are first to praise an innovation and usually first, also, to discard the preceding fad.
These authorities say, truthfully enough, that sweet music is not new, but rather a cyclical return to popularity of an old type. They say that sweet music is perfectly suited to the dulcet lyrics that form the words of a large percentage of popular songs. It would be hard to refute any one of these statements.
The most convincing argument against swing is furnished by seeing it in action. Dancers indulge in an amazing jumble of acrobatics more than a little like the antics of two fighting roosters. "Jive-artists" lose all identity with the human race in wrestling the "hot" music from their instruments.
Yet to defend swing—the modern counterpart of African war-chants—would necessitate a defence for something infinitely older than the sweet music they criticize. A defence of swing would be a defence of music which requires the same type of lyrics—or words from a nursery rhyme.
True, swing may be slipping, but dispute the rumor, college acrobats still whirl to the offbeat of the nickelodeon.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
We knew it would happen. Yes, sir, old Confucius finally got up his ghostly ire and came back to earth. And what did he say? Why Confucius say, "That's not what I said." He gave this exclusive statement to Boyd Sinclair, columnist on the Daily Texan. Following is an excerpt from Sinclair's interview with the Chinese philosopher:
★
This character looks a little pale and has on a funny looking suit which is more than somewhat like maybe a pair of pajamas and has on a faded yellow robe with Chineee characters and maybe a dragon or two. He has on a long beard and a thin, drooping moustache, and looks maybe like he might be a pretty smart guy. But I am more or less shy of any character you can see through, so I say to Charlie the Chum, "Charlie the Chum, do you see what I see?"
"I do not see anything," says Charlie the Chum. "In fact, I see nothing whatsoever."
"Chum," I say, "your old lamps are burning out. Coming toward us at no mean clip is a Chinee-looking character, but I do not wish to meet him, as I am able to see through him."
"It is just as I say," says Charlie the Chum. "You should not drink
any of that stuff while you are reading Dr. Lin Yutang."
"Mortals," says this spirit character, "I am Confucius, of whom you no doubt hear lately. I say a lot of things in my time, but do not quote me, as I am quoted too much already. In fact, I may say, I am misquoted more than somewhat. Since you are guys who write pieces for the paper, I wish to give you something to print which I do say when I live in China 2,500 years ago; I study the records of the ages as far back as six thousand years before me and I say many things in my time.
Well, by this time this shady-looking character who you can see through just like a telescope is right in front of us and halts, and just as he says, "Hold, mortals," Charlie the Chum gets the old gander on him. Needless to say, we hold.
"Therefore, I give you these papers on which are some of the things I actually do say which I hope you will print in your paper. I do not wish citizens to get the wrong impression about me."
Well, needless to say, we take the papers, being more careful than somewhat not to touch this Confucius character, as the view is still more than remarkable right through him. Then right on the spot Confucius takes it on the lam and we do not see which way he goes.

Theta wit: "I'm allergic to formaldehyde," complains Anita Boughton apropos her botany lab.
"Life would be swell," remarks Kay Stinson, "if it weren't for potential shotguns."
"Gee!" cracks Cecil King, "you'd sure make a rotten cadaver."
Which kind, Miss Stinson, the parental or the professorial variety? Both are definitely potential, and both have a mild restraining influence on college life.
Women go to the d-n-d-sst extremes to make life unbearable. Louise Troutwein calls "Skid" Skidmore up 10 minutes before a date to ask which dress to wear and then is insulted because he tells her to wear the other one.
The Rake Robertson, ye occasional ed of the Soul Owl, still continues to be aces with Chestine Wilson. Aces and eights, with the rest of her retinue holding everything from a full house to a royal flush against him. Robertson is probably the only modern who can take "he who is last shall be first" and work it into an optimistic philosophy.
Fred Littoyt informs Clyde Bysom and his Jayhawkers he can't hire them for Varsiers because they won't draw a crowd. That may be true, and if it is, it's true of the other two bands. The Debate Varsity with Clyde Smith playing (and it wasn't the band's fault) laid an egg that cost Littoyt et al better than a -100 or we miss our guess.
Kick that price down from six-bits and throw in something besides straight dancing, Litttoy, or you'll be running a nickleodian honkey-tonk on the other side of Massachusetts street come spring. Ain't you heard? Roosevelt and the boys ain't puttin' out nuttin this year. Times are hard.

Professor Boyce Inspects Fredonia Water Plant
Prof. Earnest Boyce, director of the water and sewage laboratory, made a final inspection of a new municipal water plant at Fredonia, Wednesday, Feb. 14.
The following day Professor Boyce traveled to Columbus to meet with the industrial hygiene engineer of the State Board of Health. A study of the industrial disease, silicosis, is being made in Cherokee county, near Columbus.
with Doctor Wheeler it was decided that a little Ancient Mariner treatment was the thing.
So now Pepper spends his time tied to a very much alive chicken. The Delta Chi's are confident the treatment will prove satisfactory and their chicken raising neighbors sincerely hope so.
Rythmaniacs who click their clackers ecstatically at the end of a dance with Miller hall's Madge Kirby are invariably "squelched" by her "If you're kissing me you're two feet off base."
For one brief evening last week the glamour boy of the classified ads, Bill Southern, forsook the spacious quarters of Sara Fair's Lincoln Zephyr for the less roomy but honeym and familiar space in "Bunny" Jenkin's V-8. Big Bill brushed his ingrown knees running back in line, though, to take Miss Fair to the Kappa Sig party Saturday night.
Only difference between Bobby Breen and the 12-year-old Bobby Kelly of Lawrence is that the latter doesn't act like someone you'd like to kick in the pants. Bobby Kelly disrupted the print shop yesterday evening singing "Oh, Johnny, Oh!" and "South of the Border." M.C. Edwin Browne is interested in getting the personable little chap an audition with WREN. He's astoundingly good (Bobby, not Browne).

PHI DELT CONFESSES
He Set Phi Delt Fires---
[Black and white photograph of a man in a suit with a tie].
John Claflin, c'40, who confessed at 5 o'clock this morning to a series of fires which have baffled state authorities for the past four months. Claflin admitted setting the fires which swept the Phi Delta Theta house since October 24, causing $6,100 in damage.
Commentator To Discuss Foreign Wars
H. R. Knickerbocker, a man whose hand has been on the pulse of affairs during the trying times preceding and following the outbreak of the Second World War, will attempt to diagnose and suggest a remedy for international aches and pains in his lecture at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Until early this fall, the roving reporter was following the Allied armies and sending back daily dispatches from the trenches. Then, he hurried off to America in time to begin a nationwide lecture tour.

John Claflin Set 4 Fires 'As a Prank'
By George Sitterly, c'41, and Roscoe Born, c'41
Saying that he did it "as a prank to cause some excitement," John M. Claflin, c'40, a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, confessed at 5 o'clock this morning that he set all but one of the series of fires which damaged his fraternity to the extent of $6,100 and kept state investigators at work on the case for nearly four months.
Claflin, age 21, was questioned all last night in a room in Eldridge hotel by John Spaulding, special investigator from Wichita. He confessed there early this morning in the presence of Spaulding and other officers. Claflin said that he was not forced in any way to make the confession.
Just a Prank, He says—
"Well, I set the fires as a prank to cause some excitement among the boys, that's all," Claflin concluded his statement. "I had no desire to destroy the building or do anybody or any person injury." He said that no one helped him set the fires and implicated no one else.
County Attorney Milton P. Beach said at noon today that no charges had been preferred as yet and that Claflin was not being held. Bond will be posted Friday when formal charges will be made, Beach said.
Beach indicated that Claflin would be charged with first degree arson, which carries an indeterminate sentence of from two to 20 years.
Claflin's home is at 327 North Seventeenth street, Kansas City, Kan. The youth's father, a prominent Kansas City lawyer and a member of the board of education in that city, is in Lawrence today.
Claflin, in his confession, said he knew nothing of the first fraternity fire on Oct. 17, when a pack of matches was found in a blazing trunk room. The fire was unreported. Set First Fire. Oct.24
At 7:54 p.m. on Oct.24, Claflin related that he set a small fire in a third floor bathroom and returned to his own room to wait for the blaze to be discovered. Warren Newcomer, ed'43, made the discovery fifteen minutes later, and the fire department was called. Firemen had no trouble in extinguishing this blaze.
Third fire of the series was at 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 30. Claflin said that he set this fire just as he did the previous one. After starting the blaze, Claflin told officers, he went to bed for about half an hour and he believed he slept during that time. He was aroused later when the fire was discovered. Fraternity members were able to extinguish the blaze without the assistance of the fire department.
Most damaging fire of the series occurred later i nthe eve- (Continued on page eight)
Smoke Trial Brings Out Petitions
With the test case trial of three student smoke-law violators opening at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, first organized protest against the anti-smoking laws was said to have appeared on the campus this morning in the form of referendum petitions seeking to put the matter to direct vote of the student body.
For the petitions to be effective, they must be signed by at least 10 per cent of the men students. This would put the Men's Student Council's part in the passage of the bill up to male students to accept or refuse. It was believed that the petitions did not as yet affect the women's council.
M. S.C. President C. H. Mullen, l'42, said at noon today that he had heard nothing of the petitions.
Jim McClure, c'40, Pat Maloney, e'42, and Emmy-Jane Harbin, c'41, went on trial today before the Student Court on charges of smoking in restricted areas. In the first prosecution under the no-smoking laws, clerk of court Bob McKay, b'40, said he doubted that the maximum penalty, expulsion would be inflicted.
W.S.G.A. Officers Sit in on Court
Matters of state, ranging from the Student Court through "Gone With the Wind" and down to teas, kept the W.S.G.A. members busy last night at their meeting in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
The W.S.G.A. will be represented by Velma Wilson, c'40; president; Ruth Olive Brown, c'40; and Betty Jane Boddington, c'40, on the Student Court which meets this afternoon at 3:30 to review the smoking offenses.
Clark Gable being a big factor in every girl's life. Wilson announced that closing hours for women during the run of "Gone With the Wind" would be 11:30 p.m. It's a "cultural picture" explained the president.

Leather Goods Will Be In New Spring Colors
"Dip your hands in color" advises a local department store in speaking of the new collection of spring gloves. By color it is referring to all the shades that any enterprising flower bed could produce.
This year manufacturers of hats, bags, shoes, and gloves, banded together to originate colors to match in different fabrics. This will enable

you to put your gloved hand to your hat without fear of anyone wincing at a warring color combination.
It is possible to have every accessory match but it is smarter to have gloves and shoes match in contrast to your hat and bag. If you desire bright gloves, pair them with an equally bright hat.
Balenciaga tan is a color that can be worn with almost everything because it is neutral in tone. Military blue, a cross between gray and French blue, is a soft color to add to very deep navy.
Since navy blue is the most accented color this spring, most of the new colors are designed to be worn with it. Hot pink and tropicole rose are the new shades of pink. Scandal red, a warm but not too bright shade, is new with navy. Gold dust, a subdued shade, or yippee! yellow, a brighter one, are fresh colors for dark navy.

Pair of Telephone Wires Enables 960 to Chat
Coaxing Line Does It--the meeting showed motion pictures and explained how his company had met the problem of "Dancing Cables" on their east and west line out of Wichita.
Imagine 480 conversations going on over one pair of telephone wires at the same time—all without a nightmare of mix-ups, threats of violence, and fits of apoplexy. One conversation will somehow be able to elbow its way through the 479 others in a very orderly fashion.
This phenomenon was explained by a representative of the American Telegraph and Telephone company at a meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at the Kansas City University auditorium last Friday night.
Professors V. P. Hessler, R. Koopman, R. P. Stringham, and 7 students of the department of electrical engineering attended the meeting.
The speaker went on to explain that the invention is called a coaxial cable. According to Professor Koopman it is simply one wire inside another. The advantage in the new cable is in saving on materials, since one pair of wires will do the work of 480.
The company has recently constructed a commercial line from Minneapolis to Stevens Point, Wis. A test line has been in operation between New York and Philadelphia for several years.

Oil Company Calls for 13 Applicants
The Shell Oil company, of Tulsa, has sent a request for applications from 13 spring semester graduates who are qualified to fill positions with them, announced Dr. Eugene A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering, recently.
The request was for six mining or petroleum engineers, two mechanical engineers, two chemical engineers, a geologist, a law graduate, and a graduate in business administration. It amounts to the largest request received from one company in several years, Professor Stephenson said.
The technical applicants will be expected to take a two-year training course, and the non-technical graduates would undergo a shorter training period. The starting salary for all the positions would be $135 a month, according to the company's request.
The Robinson gymnasium has been reserved exclusively for use of the faculty of the University on Tuesday and Friday afternoon, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, professor of physical education, announced Monday.
Faculty To Have Gymnasium Tuesday-Friday Afternoon
Members of the faculty may engage in individual sports from 4:15 to 5 p.m., also in group sports from 5 to 6 p.m. on these afternoons.
Kappa Psi, pharmaceutical fraternity, held initiation Friday evening for the following: Lloyd Roser, ph'42; Dean Rogers, ph'42; Russell Mount, ph'43; Virgil Allison, ph'42; Don Baumhardt, ph'43; and Ardon Butel, ph'43.
Cables are set to "dancing", not by the "thrills" that must pass through them, but by vibrations started up from the pressure of high winds. This is a source of much trouble on some lines since the cables are often snapped by the intense vibration.
Radio Static Soon To Be Eliminated Says Clements
Disturbing static in your favorite radio program will soon be a thing of the past according to Prof. S. E. Clements of the department of electrical engineering. Professor Clements has recently returned from a broadcasting engineers conference at Ohio State University where the new "Frequency Modulator" was discussed.
Aside from giving static-free reception, this new short wave transmitter operates at much less expense than the transmitters now in use. The fact that the Federal Communications Commission is swamped with applications for operating licenses gives some indication of what inventors think of the new equipment.
Three commercial stations are already in operation in New Jersey Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
Receive Calls for Prospective Teachers To Mail Credentials
According to H. E. Chandler, director of the teacher's appointment bureau, the bureau is beginning to get calls for instructors. Twelve to 15 calls have been received in the past three days in answer to the circular which was sent out last week.
However, Professor Chandler pointed out, few of the prospective teachers have turned in their credential blanks. This should be done at once, he said.

Aggies Bow to Jayhawks
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Notes on the Game
Last night's Kansas-Kansas State contest was bitterly fought all the way and much closer than the 44 to 33 score indicated. . . With five minutes remaining, State was still in the ball game, trailing only four points, but Ralph Miller tossed in two field goals and two free throws in the short span of three minutes to put it on ice. . . Kansas was still cold in the shooting department, hitting only 15 of 76, but that was a little better than the poor 15 per cent showing made against Iowa State. . . The Wildcats, battling from the start in their last game of the season, rippled the nets on 12 out of 51 tries.
Jack Horacek, sophomore Aggie sensation who led the scoring parade with 16 points, single-handled kept the Wildcats in the running most of the first half . . . The Topeka boy hit four long swishers and one in close to account for State's first 10 points at the end of 10 minutes. . . At the half he had connected on six shots out of 11.
Students were converging on the gym fully an hour and a half before game time . . . Among the early arrivals were a group from the Hill including Denny Lemoine, Jean McFarland, Dick Amerine, Burr Sifers, Clint Kanage, Dick Miller, Larry Wynn, and others. . . By seven bells the joint was packed and at 7:15 they were literally hanging from the rafters. . . . About 15 small boys had crawled out on the beams running high above the court to get a better view of the proceedings.
The Big Six allows only 10 players of a visiting team to be suited up, so at the hotel before the game T. P. Hunter and Bill Hogben flipped a coin to see which one got to don a uniform. . . . T. P. won. . . Ervin Reid, center who has been so dangerous against Kansas the last two years, was on the sidelines when the Purple came out for its pre-game warm-up. . . But with them was Ernie Miller, star guard who suffered a broken jaw Jan. 1 and hadn't played since.
For the first time since he's been in college Ralph Miller went into a basketball game without having his knee taped. . . But after five minutes of play he kicked his dribble, stumbled, and fell down in heap with one of the Aggies. . . His knee went out and Trainer Dean Nesmith had to help him to the dressing room for treatment. . . Coming back with the familiar sheepskin and tape, Ralph added 11 points to the three he'd already accounted for.

Miller Sets Pace In 44-33 Win; Gain on Missouri
By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
Kansas gained a half step on the league-leading Missouri Tigers when it defeated Kansas State, 44 to 33, last night at Manhattan in a typical Jayhawker-Wildcat battle.
Both teams fought desperately all the way and it was only in the last four minutes that the Jayhawks were able to pull away to their 11 point margin. Leading only 34 to 30 with four minutes to go, Ralph Miller went to work and hit twice from the field
A.K. Psi Team In Tough Win Over Dominoes
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
A hard fighting Dominoe I made the undefeated A.K. Psi team look to its laurels last night in an exciting contest which the businessmen won, 30 to 22. Harold Johnson, the boy with a 21-point average, couldn't seem to find the hoop, gathering only nine points. Deines, Dominoe, was high scorer with 12 counters, while Funk paced the winners with 11 points.
Beta Theta Pi moved a step nearer a playoff berth with an impressive, 49 to 15, triumph over the Triangles. Geiger and Pierce were stars in the Beta's one-sided victory.
Led by Clark and Ashley, the Sigma Nu's edged out Sigma Phi Epsilon 26 to 22 in a close battle. Holt sparked the Warriors to an easy win over the Mississippi Meteors, 30 to 15. The Dominoes II won its fourth game in six starts, over ISA-1, 19 to 10. Alpha Tau Omega lost a heartbreaker to Sigma Chi, 23 to 26. Jackson, Sigma Chi, hit five field goals to lead the scoring.
Phi Kappa Psi "B" continued to lead Division IV as a result of a 37 to 36 victory over the Beta "B". A. K. Psi "B" nosed out Acacia "B," 20 to 19. The Phi Delt "B" won from the Delta Chi "B" by forfeit. Delta Tau Delta "B" chalked a win over Delta Upson "B" by the same route.

and twice from the charity line to clinch the victory.
Miller led the Kansas offense with 14 matches and broke his scoring tie with teammate Bob Allen. Miller is now in undisputed possession of second place in conference scoring with a 10.5 average. Horacek Scores 16 Points
However, the basket-shooting star of the game was Wildcat Jack Horacek who chalked up 16 points during the evening. In the first 10 minutes he cracked five goals, four of them long, to keep his team in the running.
Miller, Voran, and Harp each collected four points and Engleman two in the first seven minutes as the Jayhawkers skipped off to a 14 to 4 lead, but Horacek swished three in a row to make it 10 to 14, and then Holstrum and Langvardt connected to pull the Wildcats up on even terms and the partisan Aggie crowd of 2,800 up on its feet.
With the fans yelling so loudly that the players could hardly hear the referees' whistles, Kansas shot ahead to a 22 to 18 lead at the intermission.
Aggies Pull Up
Buckets by Horacek, Woolf, and Holstrom pulled the Aggies back in the running. With five minutes to go they were trailing, 30 to 34, but here's where Miller took over to put the game on ice.
With six minutes of the second half gone K-State had taken up one point and were trailing only 23 to 28. Miller drove in for a basket and added a point to it when Seelye fouled him in the act of shooting. Harp and Voran each pitched in one-handers and the Jayhawkers were out in front, 33 to 23, with 10 minutes left.
Tomorrow night the league-leading Tigers stay home to improve their lead against Iowa State, and Saturday the Jayhawkers leave on a two-game road trip to meet Nebraska Saturday and Iowa State Monday.

In the final event, the 440-yard free style relay, the visitors overtook an early Jayhawker lead to forge far ahead and win with a new meet time of 3.54.2.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
Eleanor Rides No Bandwagon
Eleanor quickly wizarded into public acclaim, then succeeded in maintaining that approval by keeping a critical ear tuned to America's evaluation of her actions. Certain outstanding incidents reflect this practice.
Shortly after her husband's election in 1932, Eleanor broadcast on a commercial radio program. The public howled. Eleanor immediately discontinued the program and did not return until 1934, when she met with a more favorable reception. In the interim, she took voice lessons to culture her untutored voice.
The coming presidential election raises a question regarding Eleanor Roosevelt's future. President's wife or not, the White House mistress seems to have a definite path cut out for her. So vividly has her image been thrown before the public that she can never sink back even into partial retirement. If Gallop Polls taken last month mirrored the truth, the First Lady has out-ranked her showman-husband in popularity by nine percent. She received sixty-seven percent of the public's approval vote.
Again she showed wisdom when she dropped her newly acquired editorship of Bermarr MacFadden's Babies, Just Babies. She had learned that her publisher was liked neither by the Democrats nor by the Republicans.
That the nation's number one social worker has institutionalized herself on a nation-wide scope is another major factor in her acceptance by the public. In this way Mrs. Roosevelt has insured the longevity of her public life, for America is a country of institutions. And well-liked institutions, such as Mrs. Roosevelt has become, are too rare in the United States.
Her popularity is the result not only of Mrs. Roosevelt's development of a following, but also because of her alteration of herself to fit that public.
Participation by the feminine precedent-setter in the field of social work has equipped her
Seniors Don't Seem to Care
Seniors, now thoroughly familiar with the examination procedure and its worth, were expected even more enthusiastically this year. But instead, an apparent lack of interest in their own personal welfare or in their future economic security on the part of the members of the graduating class has kept the number of applications for senior examinations at a low level.
When, in the school year 1937-38, Dr. R. I. Canuteson first began the practice of offering complete physical examinations to graduating seniors as a part of the regular student health service, his purpose was to offer seniors an opportunity for a complete checkup, free of the usual fee.
Intelligent college students should realize the value of the service that is being offered them by the student hospital. They should make every effort to arrange for an examination at the earliest possible date so that they may prevent a possible rush later in the semester.
Because many seniors need a health certificate to get a job, hospital authorities made it possible for students to have that certificate at no extra cost to them. In the first year, only a few more than 200 students responded. Last year, the number increased to 580.
better than any other woman for welfare executive work. Whether the coming election results in victory or in defeat for her mate and his party, it will influence but little Eleanor Roosevelt's service. Her future rests not on a bandwagon; but upon the sincerity of her service.

Under the direction of Miss Elise Neuen Schwander, professor of romance language, the students conceived the idea of a co-operative book store. They immediately began to carry out their plans by starting a book exchange.
At first students brought a book marked with the price for which they expected to sell it. When the books were sold the women kept 10 per cent of the sale price and returned the rest of the money to the student. From the original 10 per cent made on the first books sold the present operating fund,which is now approximately $9,500, was started.
From Fraser Hall the book exchange was moved to the old commons building, which is now used by the School of Medicine. Later the women moved to the main desk on the first floor of the library where they remained until about ten years ago.
Next stop was the Memorial Union building where the first office was in the present Y.M.C.A. office. Buying books outright and needing more room, the W.S.G.A. saleswomen moved into their present location 3 years ago.
Since the hopes for a co-operative store have not been realized, the W.S.G.A. has recently decided to set aside a $5,000 scholarship fund.
The interest will be used to help a freshman woman student next year. The examination for candidates will be given on much the same basis as the Summerfield scholarship exams are given. The tests will be offered sometime near the end of next month
Although the book exchange was originally started with the idea of a cooperative store being established, the organization now runs merely for the benefit of the students.
Open everyday from Monday through Friday the exchange gives many services besides selling books, there one can always sharpen his pencil, fill his pen, use the telephone, and buy quiz books.

Because of the prominence of two of the students up before the Student Court for indescreet smoking, remarks Legal Eagle Alan Asher of the Joynal Wold, it is indicated that the cases will be haxes. Yes, Alan, and probably because of the prominence of a third offender, one Pat Maloney, he didn't get his name printed in your newsy little column.
To the Student Court: Why don't you haul Asher up before the bench for contempt of court. Hoaxes, indeed Why, with Moe Ettenson in there, justice is certain to be dealt out in liberal quantities.

We don't know the body falling for him last Friday in Wiedemann's but had she been any closer she'd have been inside his glasses looking out. Not to mention Leona Mae Cornwall (blonde a natural) who forsook an, oh so urgent, study session on chemistry to go skiing with Mr. Chapman.

Phi Delt Confesses
ning on Oct. 30. Claflin related how he set this fire with papers in the rafters of the $60,000 fraternity house and then went to dinner. During dinner, Claflin said, he asked other members if they didn't smell smoke. He did this, he said, because he wanted them to catch the fire "before it got bad."
(Continued from page one)
Clafflin said he used a lighted cigarette and at match folder to set the last fire at 3:49 Nov.12. This fire started in a closet. At this time it was reported that here were wo fires in different sections of the house but Claflin's confession did not mention the reported second fire.
Lie Detector Ineffective
Immediately after this fire the state began an investigation of the series and Clyde Latchem, state fire marshal, spent several days here with deputy state fire marshall, Ed Smith. The investigation progressed slowly and later a lie detector was brought to Lawrence and tests given to the fraternity members. Shortly before this the case was assigned to special investigator Spauld ing, who has been on the case since then. Spaulding said that the results of the lie detector test had very little to do with the final solution of the arson crimes.

Claflin Takes Back Arson Confession
Smoking Ban Petition Asks Student Vote
By Charles Skidmore, '41
The "No-Smoking" bill will be put up to popular vote by the men of the University within the next 30 days, it was indicated this afternoon, when it was reported that the 10 per cent of the qualified male voters necessary to make the petition legal would be secured before nightfall.
Andy Hibbard, formerly treasurer of the Pachacamac party, who resigned over a month ago, is the author of the petition and with a number of friends was getting signers for the paper today. Hibbard stated that the idea was solely his own and did not ask the support of his party, although he said he had consulted at least two people, one of whom was a college professor, before starting the move. He asserted that he really favored the present restrictions but wanted to see the issue put to popular test.
According to the Constitution of the Men's Student Council, if the paper gets the necessary signers, an election must be called within 30 days.

Mrs. Palmer Worries Over Husband's Degree
Reclining in "her boudoir," which is bunk number 13 in the Douglas county jail, Mrs. Wilma Palmer, who was arrested for liquor possession in the absence of her husband, Bob Palmer, gr., was more concerned last night about her husband's future in the University than about her own conviction.
Mrs. Palmer was convicted of the liquor charge yesterday and
Mrs. Palmer was convicted or sentenced to 30 days and a $100 fine. A plea to Judge Hugh Means for parole was denied late yesterday.
Though similar charges against her husband were dropped for lack of evidence, University officials have as yet refused to re-instate Palmer after his arrest kept him out of classes for several days.
Deploring the University action,

Was 'Woozy After Fifteen Hour Grilling, Says Phi Delt
By Roscoe Born, c'41
★EXCLUSIVE★
Secluded in a near-Lawrence auto camp, John Claflin, c'40, who yesterday admitted setting the series of Phi Delt fires, today not only repudiated the confession but said everything about the question-answer document he signed was "very vague."
Claflin pointed out that he had been questioned for 15 hours before the confession was made. When questioned today about particulars in his confession, he had to look at a newspaper copy of the document to "know just what I did say here."
"I Was Quite Woozy"
"I was in the room from about 2:30 in the afternoon (Tuesday) until about 5 in the morning (Wednesday), the youth said. "I was not allowed to make any phone calls or get any legal advice. I couldn't even call my mother. I never left the room at any time except for dinner. As you can imagine I was quite wozy and had lost any presence of mind by 5 o'clock in the morning."
Claflin was dressing as he spoke, and said he just got out of bed. "I was pretty sleepy after that night," he said. "I came here (to the auto camp) at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went right to bed. I slept 'til about 8 last night and got up for about two hours. At 10:30 last night I went back to bed and just now got up." The 11:20 University whistle blew just as he finished speaking.
"Many Things Behind"
An indication that the confession did not end the matter was given by Claflin. "There are many more things behind the confession that I don't want to relate at this time," he said.
Claflin said that the subpoena which took him to the all-night questioning in Eldridge hotel came as a complete surprise. He was all set to leave for the basketball game at Manhattan, he said, when Robert Gray, deputy state fire marsh all, came to see him.
"I nev r once conihered that I would do if I should ever be singled out," he said. "Tha this would happen to me never oc- (Continued on page three)
Opera Ballet Dances Here Monday Night
Something entirely different in the way of concert course programs will be presented in Hoch auditorium Monday evening when the San Francisco Opera Ballet makes its first appearance in Lawrence.
Outstanding among the troupe of aesthetic dancers who will appear are William Christensen, young Danish-American artist, who, besides arranging ballets, also acts as artistic director, and Janet Reed, chief ballerina of the group.
The deadline on freshman applications for membership on the student committee in charge of the Kansas Relays, will be next Monday. E.R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education, stated today.
This attraction replaces the concert by Walter Gieseking, German pianist, which was originally planned for this time, but was cancelled because the British blockade prevented the musician from leaving his homeland. Season ticket holders may present their tickets to the Gieseking concert for admittance to the ballet program.
(Continued on page three)
Two elaborate ballets will be given on the same program. The first, "Coppelia," is a young people's ballet portraying the serious problem of choosing mates. The second, "In Vienna," depicts a series of light incidents in a Viennese day of the early 70's.
Will Close Relays Posts Monday
Several applications have already been received at the intramural office and none will be accepted after Monday. The applicant must state his qualifications in a written letter and later he will be interviewed by Elbel and Burr Sifers, student manager of the relays. The six freshmen chosen will work with four sophomores, two juniors, and the senior manager. The sophomore and junior committeemen, named last week, were selected from last yar's committee.

Saturday night the fifty-sixth annual Hi-rickety party will be given by the Sigma Nu fraternity. The idea for the party, which originated with the local chapter, came as a result of the song beginning "Hi-rickety Whoop de Doo" which the Sigma Nus sing to the newly initiated men.
The theme of the party will center around the fraternity's badge, a five-armed star, and the decorations will be black and white and gold, the traditional colors. The favors given to the dates will be in keeping with the motif.
The party will begin with a formal dinner at Evans Hearth for members and their dates, and will continue with dancing in the Crystal Room of the Hotel Eldridge with music by Clyde Smith and his orchestra.
Several years after the origination of this party, by Nu chapter, the oldest west of the Mississippi river, neighboring chapters heard of this unique social affair, but it was not until 11 years ago that it was voted a national celebration.
The chaperons will be Mrs. P. H. Klinkenberg, Mrs. A. J. Ogden, Mrs. C. L. Miller and Mrs. Helen G. Shinn.
High School Kids Cut Rugs
College students took to the side-lines last night as eight high school students took over the floor at the mid-week. These members of the younger set managed to get by the guards on the doors and showed the college dancers what the word "jitter" really means, with all the variations from the off-beat to the double shuffle.

Discrepancies In Confession
When questioned about a discrepancy in his confession, Claflin had this explanation:
"Actually I went to bed between 11 and 11:30 that night (Oct. 30) and never woke up 'til they aroused me at about 1 or 1:30 when the fire was discovered."
The confession said that he set the fire at about 1 o'clock Oct. 30 and went to bed for half an hour to wait for the fire to be discovered. At one place his confession stated that he was asleep during this time and another contradicted that statement. Questioners Confused Him
Questioners Confused Him
Claflin was questioned by eight men: John Spaulding, special investigator from Wichita; Peter A. Kelley, Crawford county court reporter; Clyde Latchem, state fire marshall; Tom Rankin, old time Quenemo sheriff called in because of his long record for obtaining confessions; Robert Gray, deputy state fire marshall from Wichita; Jay Sullivan, Lyon county attorney. Police Chief Jude Anderson and Sheriff Charles Banning assisted.
"They all questioned me as fast as they could get in words," Claflin said.
The 21-year-old youth said that this was the first semester that he had been really intent on going through school. Always before, he said, he had hated to leave his summer job to return to the Hill. "The main thing for me is to finish school now," he said. "I know it'll take a lot of nerve but I want to do it."

The petition is not a referendum, as was commonly thought on the campus today. The time for a referendum has passed, and the action now underway is to repeal the present legislation.
Mullen also said that if the men of the University do recall the law in an election, if it is held, it will in no way affect the women on the campus. They will still be bound by the smoking ban until they pass a similar bill.

Tiger Cinder Team Is Potent
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
---
Yesterday Dr. F. C. Allen exhibited a game of basketball between two of his teams playing under a new rule which he, as chairman of the national rules committee, plans to submit to the legislative body of the cage sport when it meets at Kansas City, March 30, 31, and April 1.
The rule provides that circles with eight-foot radii be drawn beneath each basket and that no player of the offensive side may shoot at a basket in this area. They may dribble in and out and handle the ball, but no drive-in shots or tip-ins will be permitted within this area.
Doctor Allen believes that this prohibition will cut down a great number of fouls, especially the player who is fouled when driving in for the basket in an attempt to shoot a goal.
"Three years ago," Doctor Allen said, "the enthusiastic advocates of the proposal to eliminate the center jump from basketball made the claim that if the center jump were eliminated this rule would drive the exceptionally tall man from basketball. They claimed that the importance of the center jump was sufficient cause alone for the presence of the altitudinous player.
"The center jump was eliminated for the 1937-38 season and has been in effect since. The 6 foot 4 and 6 foot 5 player was the average height of the exceptionally tall player at that time. Instead of driving the tall player out of the game, the demand for tall players is even greater now than it was before. At least, there are a greater number of tall players in the game today than ever before. The 6 foot 7, the 6 foot 8, and 6 foot 9 player is not a rarity."
Doctor Allen has long advocated the installation of 12-foot baskets and still believes that it would be much the better method of taking the advantage away from the "mezzanine peeping toms," as he calls the 6 foot 6 and up cagers. However, that idea hasn't seemed to take so well with many of the coaches, and now Allen has struck upon another idea with which to combat the giants.
If the rule were to go into effect it would place a much greater premium on long shooting and relieve the congested area around the basket. However, it still would not do away with the tall boy who stands in front of the goal and slaps shots back in the face of attackers. The rule seems to strike more at the offense than the defense. The defense is not penalized at all, but the offensive team is not allowed to drive in for set-ups, and the tall boys will not be able to stand under the hoop and dunk them in.
We will all be anxiously awaiting the reaction of the national committee to this proposal.
Indoor Dual At Columbia Saturday
Columbia, Mo., Feb. 22—The fans get first crack at a field house record when the University of Missouri indoor track team is host to Kansas here Saturday night.
Two weeks ago, a new alltime dual meet attendance mark of 1,200 was established when the Tigers defeated Iowa State in the first indoor meet of the year and this mark is expected to be exceeded this week. Tigers in Good Shape
Back from a brush with the stiff competition at the Illinois Relays Carnival, the Tigers appear in fine fettle for their second dual meet of the season.
The Kansans haven't fared as well as the Tigers to date. Misfortune has dogged the Jayhawkers at every step, with ineligibilities, accidents, and injuries in large doses. Not to be deterred, the Jayhawks have made a gallant comeback. After losing to Nebraska, Kansas almost whipped Kansas State in a dual meet last week.
With Captain John Munski on tap for the mile run, Marshall Reeves available for the half-mile stint, John White and Jimmy Johnson ready for the hurdles, Dick Higgins aspiring for more pole vault honors, and Sol Schumitzky determined to enhance his broad-jump achievements, the Tigers loom as a rather formidable aggregation with which to cope. Missouri Hurdler Back
Missouri hopes soared again this week when it was learned Ed Slaybaugh would participate. Slaybaugh won the 60-yard low hurdles in 7.2 seconds against Iowa State two weeks ago. Then he suffered a minor injury and was confined to the training table while the Illinois Relay carnival was in progress.
Nevertheless, all is not gloom in the ranks of Bill Hargiss' men. Rather, they pin their hopes upon three men who may prove themselves in the forthcoming meet.
Ray Harris, mile runner, is foremost among the top-ranking invaders, but a sprained ankle will severely hamper him when he is pitted against Munski. Facts and records are concrete, and a perusal thereof shows Harris turning in a 4.29.9 mile last week while Munski spun around the oval in 4:10 on the anchor end of the University medley relay at Illinois.
Mathes Should Take Sixty
But Kansas has an edge in the 60-yard dash as Darrell Mathes turned in a 6.3 seconds performance against Kansas State, and Missouri's best mark this year is 6.5 seconds by Sol Schumitzky.
The broad jump promises to be one of the most closely contested events on the program as Kansas comes up with J. R. Jones, who jumped 23 feet as a sophomore last year. A year ago, Schumitzky set his best indoor record gainst Kansas as he leaped 23 feet 8 inches. However, he has yet to reach that distance in the current campaign.
One Reason Why Missouri Leads---
BILL
HARVEY
-FORWARD-
This cocky-looking little forward is one of the Tigers leading front line men. He will be one of the starting forwards when Miss-
souri squares off against Iowa State at Columbia tonight. This will be the Bengals last game before coming here next week to meet the Jayhawkers.
Harris Won't Run Against Missouri
Ray Harris, Jayhawkers track captain and star two-miler, will not compete in the dual meet with Missouri at Columbia, Saturday, Coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss announced this
morning.
Harris' ankle, which he injured a Lincoln two weeks ago, has not improved and the track coach decided to hold him out of action this week in order to give him a good rest before the Big Six indoor meet at Kansas City, March 9.
Harris ran two races against Kansas State in the meet here last week, but his ankle has become worse since then.
Sig Alph Five Nips Delts In Overtime
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
A one-handed shot by Bob Bond in the last minute of an overtime period gave Sigma Alpha Epsilon a highly valued victory over Delta Tau Delta last night, 27 to 25. It was the Sig Alph's seventh win in eight starts. Bill Hall, flashy little Sig Alph guard, turned in a splendid performance, counting five baskets and two charity tosses. All but one of his goals were from long range. Halftime found the two teams deadlocked at 14all.
Displaying their usual whirlwind attack, the Buccaneers piled up a 20 to 5 first half lead and then went on to win from the Warriors, 51 to 7. Ralph Bourne, Buccaneer, tallied 18 points for high point honors, 11 points in the opening period.
Despite the absence of their ace center, Westehouse, the Galloping Ghosts accomplished their 23rd consecutive triumph, downing the Dominoes II, 53 to 22. The Ghosts played like a championship ball club last night. Fournier and Coffin, Ghost guards, were particularly impressive. The box score:

Still a Pessimist---- War Will Last 5 Years Knickerbocker Says
By Huck Wright, c'40
H. R. Knickerbocker lived up to his self-dubbed nickname "Professional Pessimist" last night.
Although not his superior, Knickerbocker displayed a close second to the satirical humor of his friend "Alec" Woollott as he talked on "A Ringside in World History" in Hoch auditorium.
Siv-thousand ears were geared to catch his answer to the vital question "how long will the war last." It is his belief that Germany can hold out for at least five or six years, economically, depending upon friend Russia this time for materials.
Knickerbocker said that at the beginning it looked like Hitler was giving all and Stalin was taking all, but now Stalin is behind the eight-ball asking favors of Hitler. And if Finnish resistance to Russia continues, Adolf will have Joe in the nine-hole and will receive demands of his own from Russia.
Nickeeperbocker partly excused Chamberlain's actions at Munich maintaining that the English Prime Minister honestly believed Hitler wouldn't thumb his nose at their agreement. But Hitler did and now Chamberlain is ready to see Hitler where most of the world thinks he belongs.
Five Per Cent Margin
Although the correspondent gives the allies a five per cent margin for a victory, he says Germany can retain 85 per cent of normal efficiency if shut off entirely by sea while England will be crippled if deprived of only 25 per cent of her imports.
He believes Finland can stave off her invaders until next October or November. His reasons are that these two months are the most unfavorable to the Finns because the lakes are ice-covered and the Russians can move across while the Finns can't move ski troops because of improper facilities of snow. As long as the ice is melted the Finns can cope with the water-checked Russians.
As Knickerbocker views the important powers today, Germany, Russia, and Japan are playing a game of ball for individual world dominance. France and England are making a stab at self-preservation and the United States would relish a national security.
Could Use Force
Violence instead of pussyfooting on the part of England at Munich would have put the quietus on Hitler, Knickerbocker hinted. As it is, he said, Munich only increased Hitler's prestige—a prestige which he has built up by constantly cramming the Treaty of Versailles down the German throat.
Following his speech, the Texasborn redhead "let his hair down" in an interview for the Kansan at the Eldridge hotel.
When asked if he favored a strong national defense for the United States, he indirectly implied that such a policy is necessary and essential.
"Why, no," he replied satirically, "I think we should be strict isolationists. Don't help any country. Let 'em fight it out alone—then when it's well, let us sit back defenseless with a world full of enemies."
And speaking of isolationists, Knickerbocker pulls no punches for any man as he proved by rapping Lindbergh in reference to an article by the aviator in the recent issue of the "Atlantic Monthly."
When told he resembles Kay Kysser he answered, "Who is the guy I'll have to look him up sometime."
"Knick" threw a necktie carelessly into a suit case. It fell upon a copy of "The Storm Breaks" by Frederick T. Birchall. He pointed nervously to the book.
Knickerbocker expressed no evident opinion of which war would affect the United States the greater. He simply said that all of them will have their effects.
"I don't agree with a word he says in the article," he said acidily, "but it's worth reading for the argument. I was really surprised at how well he handled the article—I'll bet his wife wrote it for him!"
"Hmm, Birchill," he mused thoughtlessly. "Good friend of mine. Seems like all my friends are writing books now-a-days."
When his lecture tour in the United
Beginning with this afternoon's issue, the Daily Kansan will feature a strip cartoon illustrating the famous adventure story, "Swiss Family Robinson." The cartoon will appear for the next six issues telling the complete story of this bestseller. A picture bearing the same title will be shown at the Dickinson theater beginning Feb. 29.

Guys like us is the lonesomest guys in the world—George says just because I'm strong as a horse he's got to take care of me, or I'll get into a mess o' trouble—Curley's wife was lonesome, too—Kept hangin' around until that day she came into the barn and asked me to feel her soft smooth hair, it was awful nice —only she got scared and screamed —I tried to stop her—and then it happened—I didn't mean to do no bad thing in "Of Mice and Men" showing at the Dickinson Friday.
A
SCHOOL ROOM
Dazed and shocked by the suddenness of it, the pampered, spoiled, ease-loving family of William Robinson, rich Swiss clock maker, listen painfully to his decision to remove them from the corrupting influence of the London society of the early 1800's to a new life in far-off Australia, where he hopes they will become strong and self-reliant. Leave taking of the old life, its associations, and its familiar scenes is a wrench-wrenching experience for the Swiss Family Robinson. Even the doughy father, stoutly resolved to risk everything in his efforts to save his beloved family from moral destruction, feels the strain as they embark for undreamed-of adventure on the English brig, "The Flying Swan."
W
DRAVATI
After an uneventful passage of many weeks, "The Flying Swan" enters tropic seas. One night a tremendous gale springs up, and the brig, caught in its vortex, receives the full brunt of it. Following hours of horror and constant battling to keep afloat, the unhappy Robinsons, huddled desperately in their cabin, pray for deliverance from the fury of the storm...Battered by the tremendous seas, "The Flying Swan" is caught between two huge rocks, and, although she is built of honest timber, the punishment is too much for her and she begins to break up. The terror-stricken Robinsons rush on deck for their lives, only to find that the cowardly crew has taken to the life boats, abandoning the family to its fate. (Continued)

February Statesmen Showed Way
February marks the anniversaries of the birth of two of America's most illustrious sons. Both Washington and Lincoln had keen insight into the principle of humanitarian government.
In his "Farewell Address," delivered at the time of his retirement from public life, Washington spoke warningly of propagandists and lobbyists who seek to divert government from its natural function.
"All obstructions to the executions of the laws," he pointed out, "all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive . . . and of fatal tendency."
Equally far-sighted was the noted former rail-splitter who visualized the problems to be confronted by labor unions, which in his day were taking their first faltering steps. A staunch advocate of their principles and objectives,
I.S.A. Drive A Worthy Cause
The Independent Student association has just begun its second semester drive for new members. With a roster of some 600 students last semester, the organization has been steadily growing in size and importance since its re-establishment a year ago.
The I.S.A. was organized to give the independent student that much-needed opportunity for social life. By means of all-organization varsities and district dances, its intramural program, and other activities, the I.S.A. does furnish students a chance for a more developed and better balanced University life.
For years it has been realized that the independent students on the Hill needed a better opportunity for social life—a better chance to meet other students, a better chance to live as well as study, a better chance to play as well as work.
An I.S.A. membership is the best dollar investment a student can make to increase his social opportunities.

"Cleverly answered questions, with merely an iota of an idea, always make an impression. This is what is commonly known as "bull-throwing." Of course, none of your teachers would admit the veracity of this fact. Bull-throwing or tossing is an art and is not to be regarded as a simple task. Please do not try to bull and bull with reckless abandon, for the professor has to have an idea, even if a very vague idea, that the student may know something about the subject."

Both these great American statemen recognized the intrinsic value of the human personality. Neither governed in the interest of any single group.

With My Own Little Hatchet---
Washington Was Proper-- Even in Private Diary
George Washington, head of the American family, was never guilty of "the slightest deviation from the strictest propriety" in writing his diary, original parts of which are now in the Library of Congress. Once he did state that he noticed the New England women had blacker hair than women of the South—but he never broke over again, say private owners of others parts of the diary.
His journal was compiled by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union and published in 1925. Many large parts are omitted. But the remainder presents greatly different material than most grade school paraphernalia includes.
In the time covered by the first two volumes of the diary George spent most of his time grafting pear trees, sowing oats, and other homely duties. For four days in 1765 he "sowed Turnips behind the garden".
The Father of his County always kept a weather eye open. In the earlier years, when he wrote only a sentence or two each day, weather was the main topic. Often his day seemed the epitome of modern times: "Dined at the club, and went to the play."
He makes no mention of his own feelings or emotions when he was unanimously elected general and commander-in-chief, but writes merely that he "dined at the Burnes' and spent the evening working on a committee."
Fox hunting, dining out, and going to balls were his chief social diversions. At the balls, bread and butter sandwiches made a great impression on the first President.
During the war and his terms as president, however, the First Father's writings became more fluent. He jotted down most of his inner thoughts. This change in attitude continued even after his retirement.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
We always thought H. R. Knicker-bocker was biased but a good speaker. We no longer think he is a good speaker.
★
Returning from Europe after years of residence and observation there, Knickerbocker—currently making a lecture tour of the country—made an address that evoked divided opinions from the student audience. Biggest criticism of the red-haired newsman was his prejudice. Many felt he was too anti-Hitler. There was, however, a large group that expressed enthusiasm over the lecture.
★
Knickerbocker's prediction that the European war would continue several years recalls a pair of prophecies we heard last fall. After listening all night to radio bulletins at the time England and France declared war, we heard former President Herbert Hoover—certainly a man well informed on foreign affairs—express the opinion that the struggle would last three or more years. Two nights later we were at a banquet where a former agricultural minister in the Nazi government, who is now an economics professor at Stanford, declared that the war could not possibly last more than six months. Pay your money and take your choice.
that there is a Lawrence telephone operator with a "Bonnie Baker" voice. Oh! Johnny.
the petitions against the smoking bill are undoubtedly the most assinine expression of student ignorance that Mt. Oread has seen since the infamous peace strikes of a few years ago. It is evident that the sponsors of the referendum movement don't know when they are well off. Most of that group, it appears, aren't against the cigaret ban. What they oppose is its enforcement.

We hope that the closest we'll ever come to war maneuvering is trying to get through the fortifications the workmen have erected around the Fourteenth street trench.
Psychological Exam Saturday
A college paper informs us that more than one-fourth of the University of Arkansas student body are relatives of graduates of former students of that institution. And most of them, no doubt, are at least distant kin of Bob Burns.
★
The last psychological examination for spring semester will be given to all new students entering the University this semester, at 9 a.m. Saturday in room 115 Fraser hall. The examination is required of new students.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER=
"That was the most uncomfortable hour and a half I have ever spent," bluntly remarked Chancellor Malott to a somewhat surprised H. R. Knickerbocker following the latter's speech.
The rigid silence that follows such remarks as this was soon dispelled when the Chancellor explained that the uncomfortableness was due to thoughts of the terrible possibilities raised by "Knick's" speech.
Kansan business manager Ed Browne has his office situated in a "smoking permitted" but just to show his belief in the smoking laws he has laid down a ban of his own—and he enforces it.
In the event we are enjoying what smoking privileges you now have don't let "the principle of the thing" make you sign a petition that might lead to the repeal of the smoking laws. From what we are able to learn, you can take what privileges you have now or you can take nothing. There won't be a smoking sanctum sanctorium left on the Hill should the present laws be repealed by the students. Don't let these wise-acre politicians work you out of what you have.
The strains of "Happy Birthday to You," in commemoration of George Washington, added no end to the merriment in a local cafe this morning. Lots of the customers were singing to George but only those on the inside knew which George they were singing for.
"Alone in the moonlight," remarks witty Theta Cecil King, "is more fun if you're not." Call 295, boys.
A reporting II student is getting good experience with censorship in trying to get a story on the tunnel on the Brynwood Place. After failing to get anything out of the noncommittal Mr. Bayles, the student disgustedly remarked, "What do these guys think they're digging? The Maginot Line?"
Not long ago three boys knocked at a woman's apartment to ask her to play bridge with them. With the door opened only a few inches the woman nervously explained that she was busy making coffee. And whom do you suppose was hiding behind the woman's skirt? Our friend, Ultra Legal Eagle Alan Asher, up there trying to get some news for his column.
U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, spoke on "Geometric Configurations" at a meeting of the Mathematics colloquium at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon.

With the third week of February flitting by, your sidewalk trotters come through with suggestions from Massachusetts street that should swing you right into spring. Indeed, in portraying Lawrence's main thoroughfare these days, the surrealist would place a new suit, a misty blouse, and a pin-wheel of all that's newest in the same picture.
Greene's have swung out in the grand march of spring wear with THE gayest and nattiest of Kay Dunhill dresses at $3.98 to $7.98. It's Greene's too, for new spring woven sweaters.
Here's something the folks will appreciate when you send them your picture—the newly introduced antique frames at Hixson's. Rare in their oddity, sweet in their simplicity, the frames can "do things for you."
And speaking of what's new, it's Shimmons for the cleverest electric, novelty bulbs we've ever seen. In each there's an embossed replica of a flower or a famous character. They're beautiful and last three times the ordinary bulb.

If ever there was a connoisseur's paradise, Drake's Bake Shop is that. We almost stayed the morning gazing at a sea of cakes and cookies. They're good and low priced, too.
Comes Spring and a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love—and what greater help is there for making a party evening a success or a day memorable than flowers from Ward's? Individual in style, superior in taste, Ward's flowers rank high.

Major Eliot Will Discuss War Problems
Major George Fielding Eliot, one of the outstanding military authorities of today, will present his views on the position of America in relation to the nations at war in a lecture to be held Feb. 29. "How Safe We Are from Attack" will be the title of the lecture.
Using his military experience as a background, Major Eliot has made a life study of military strategy. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., he spent part of his life in Australia. He fought with the Australian Imperial Force from 1914 to 1918.
After his return to the United States, Major Eliot served with the Military Intelligence Service of the U.S. Army. He also was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth. Later he was affiliated with the Military Intelligence Division of the War Department.
Major Eliot is the author of the recent foreign policy report, "The Military Consequences of Munich." He has also written "The Ramparts Which We Watch," a study of the problems of American national defense.
Fields to Play At Negro Varsity
Ernie Fields' orchestra nationally known as "America's Sweetset Swing Band" will play for the annual colored varsity Friday night in the Memorial Student Union building ballroom.
This year is the first time a "name band" has been secured for the negro party.

Peace Justice Robert Oyler, left, swearing in Clyde Lathchem, state fire marshall, who today charged John Claflin, c'40, with arson in three degrees and burning insured property with intent to defraud the insurance company. Claflin left Lawrence for his Kansas City, Kan., home immediately after the arraignment this morning.
West Wins Radio Speech Contest
Addison West, c'41, with "Joe Martin of Massachusetts" as his subject, was declared winner of last week's Student Opinion broadcast on Republican possibilities for the presidency. John Oakson, c'40, won second place, speaking on John Dewey, New York district attorney. The announcement was made at the close of last night's broadcast when University democrats discussed favorite candidates for the presidency.
"Missouri mules and politicians bear a certain resemblance," said Mary McAnaw, c'42, speaking on Bennett Clark of Missouri as a democratic possibility for president. According to Russell Baker, c'42, as he championed Secretary of State Hull for the presidency "He walks down the street with his hand on his gun." Hal Ruppenthal, c'42, as he discussed John Nance Garner said he was the "biggest man from the biggest state." The democrat can win with Roosevelt because "he sets men hearts on fire" is the opinion of Mac Wynne, c'40. As for Burton Wheeler of Mont., Gladys Huber, c'41, says, "He has gone against trend but trend seems to turn and go with Wheeler."
Winner of this week's contest will be announced next Thursday when the third broadcast will go on the air at 8:00 discussing campus problems. Speakers will be Velma Wilson, c'40. Emmet Park, b'41, Dick McCann, c'40, Bob Sullivan, '42, and Bob McKay, b'40.

These lessons are being sponsored by the Union Activities committee under the direction of Winford Ferry, e'40, and will be given at no cost to the student.
In her lectures Mrs. Rowe will present the fundamentals of bridge playing for the beginner and discuss methods of improving the technique of advanced players.
Mrs. Rowe is a graduate of the University and is connected with the Sulbertson Bridge studio in New York City.
4 Counts Against Accused Student; $3,000 Bond Met
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Free on $3,000 bond, John Claflin, c'40, Phi Delt confessor to four fires at his fraternity, today returned to his Kansas City, Kan., home, the object of four charges filed at his arraignment this morning.
Second degree arson was the charge for the early morning fire on Oct. 30, and for the fire later in the day, Claflin was charged with burning insured property with intent to defraud the insurance company.
For the fire on Oct.24 Claflin was charged with fourth degree arson.
Worst Charge on Last Fire
Worst charge the 21-year-old youth faces is first degree arson, which is in connection with the last fire of the series, on Nov. 12.
In case of conviction on the last charge, Claflin faces an indeterminate sentence of from two to 20 years. County Attorney Milton P. Beach said today that if Claflin were convicted on more
than one count it would be a question if his differing sentences would run consecutively or concurrently.
Preliminary Hearing March 9
Preliminary hearing will be March 9 in the peace court of Judge Robert Oyler.
Claflin's bond was posted jointly by his mother, Mrs. Dora Claflin, Kansas City, and L. M Metzler, Lawrence.
Claflin plans to return to Lawrence Sunday and will resume class work Monday morning.

Bitterness Marks First Smoke Trial
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
A penalty of 30 days of expulsion from all school buildings was pronounced on three defendants in the first "nosmoking" case concluded yesterday afternoon in the court of Chief-Justice Eugene E. Buchanan, l'40, in the Pine room of Memorial Union building. The sentence was immediately suspended, to go into effect automatically upon second conviction.
Emmy-Jane Harbin, c'41, and Jim McClure, c'40, plead guilty at their arraignment and Pat Maloney, c'42, was convicted at the trial Wednesday afternoon. In a hectic session which was witnessed mostly by fraternity men and sorry women with a sprinkling of independent students, sentence was passed with only one dissenting opinion, that of Justice William Farmer, I'40. His dissonition was so strong that

Match Lip And Finger Tip Colors
Lipsticks and finger nail-polish are keeping company these days. Cosmeticians have decreed that the two must match, or at least harmonize.
One famous house set out to help women who are in a dilemma over trying to find nail-polish to match their favorite lipstick. After months of research they have worked out a chart giving four or five harmonizing or identical lipsticks for a whole range of nail-polish shades. Another company solves the problem by offering matching lipstick and nail-polish in a neat kit.
Cosmetic and couture houses are working hand in hand this season to produce make up to match the new spring colors. Hot Pink is the newest color for gloves; therefore a cosmetic house offers an animated shade called Hot Pink for lips and nails.
"Hot Pink" Popular
Judging by the number on the market, lipsticks are apparently the biggest selling item in the business. Each week a new one is brought out and women snap them up with the zeal of true collectors.
Application An Art
Just as the smart woman collects lipsticks, so she knows how to apply them. She knows that if the lipstick is light, her lip outline must be exaggeratedly clear. The sprawling, spring bow mouth is disappearing and the thinner, more normal lip is returning to favor.
If your lips and nails match your costume and are the right shade for you, you are off to a good start on the Spring Hit Parade.
Library Staff Holds Dinner
Thirty-one staff members of University libraries were present at an informal dinner held last night at the Evans Hearth. There was no organized program.
Miss Lauretta Trickey, chairman of the program committee, said today that the dinner featured George Washington's birthday. The atmosphere of a holiday was enhanced by decorations of a cherry tree and hatchets.

ew He Was Innocent"
We Was Innocent knew he was innocent when killed me. He told me about a flippant way. I knew he innocent because he was nervous. The only other time as in trouble was when he kicked his uncle's car and he told about that for a week." Afflin's mother said she knew like a book and was positive as innocent. "He will conhis schooling and graduate me," she said.
Relatives Here he seemed unworried and she was not excited, only mad." This was the first
time she had seen her son since his confession.
Claflin's mother, his father, O. Q. Claflin, his brother, O. Q. Claflin III, and an aunt, Mrs. Jennie Gillman, all of Kansas City, were waiting in the county attorney's office at 10 o'clock, the time set for the arraignment.
It was indicated today that by repudiating his confession, Claflin was risking a much longer sentence in order to prove his innocence. Had he upheld his confession, it was said, the charge might not have been so severe.
Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law attended the Washington's birthday dinner last night at the Muchlebach hotel, in Kansas City, Mo. Maurice M. Milligan, United States district attorney, was the principal speaker.

Cage and Track Teams On the Road Tomorrow
Cornhuskers And Cyclones Face Loopers
The Jayhawker basketball team continues its uphill fight for the Big Six basketball championship with a two-game road trip that pits it against Nebraska tomorrow night at Lincoln and Iowa State Monday night at Ames.
Kansas has lost only one game in the conference and can still win the flag outright by sweeping its four remaining games. Missouri, the bookies' favorite with eight wins and one loss, has only to meet Kansas here a week from tonight.
Tomorrow night's scrap at Lincoln will be the Cornhuskers' final game of the season. At present they are in a virtual three way tie with Iowa State and Kansas State for the cellar. The Huskers have won two and dropped seven.
Fitz Back in Lineup
Kansas downed Nebraska, 40 to 24, when the teams met here last month, but the Huskers were minus the services of Don Fitz, the star who was supposed to make them dangerous this year. With Fitz back in the lineup, teaming with sophomore Sid Held, Kansas will face a pair of exceptionally fine sentinels. Both are 6 foot 4 and nimble for their size.
The Jayhawkers will again call on the scoring of Ralph Miller who is in second place among the loop's basket shooters with a 10:25 average, to pull them through. Ralph should go well against Nebraska as the Huskers play the type of ball that he thrives on. The crack junior forward scores best against a fast-breaking team.
Dick Harp, top-notch guard, found his basket eye during the Kansas State game when he bagged four field goals and should be hard to hold down during the rest of the campaign.
Harp Finds Basket Eye
(Continued on page five)
Meet N.U. Tankers Here Tomorrow Afternoon
A strong Nebraska swimming team, coached by Dick Hagelin, will meet the Kansas tankers in Robinson gym tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Huskers will be top-heavy favorites and they will also be strong contenders for the Big Six crown this spring, according to the Kansas coach, Jim Raport.
If the Kansas squad is defeated Saturday, it will be its third consecutive loss within a week. Urged on by this the local mermen will be going full-blast to stand-off another possible set-back.
H. G. Alphin of the physical education department will be the starter and one of the three judges. The other two have yet to be named.
Following are the Kansas entries as announced today by Coach Raport:
300-yard medley relay—Cooper, Nelson, and either Joe Morton or Rosebush.
220-yard dash—Tom Walton,
Gene Feaster, and LaShelle.
50-yard dash—Wilson, Rosebush,
and Art Robinson.
Dives—Koehling and Harry Han. 100-yard dash—Morton, Robinson and Wilson.
150-yard back stroke—Cooper and Rosebush.
200-yard back stroke—Nelson.
440 yard swim—LaShelle and Walton.
400-yard relay- Morton, Wilson, Robinson, and Rosebush.
6-Point Rally Downs Comets; Hellhounds Win
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Trailing 20 to 22 with three minutes to play, Kappa Etta Kappa put on a 6-point scoring spurt, to give the Comets their first defeat of the season, 22 to 26.
Leaders of the K.E.K. rally were Jackson and Brunton. Brunton gathered two long shots to put his team in front and Jackson clinched the win, scoring on a sleeper. Peterson and Domingo were outstanding for the Comets, while Brunton and McKale starred for the winning side.
The Hellhounds nosed out the Theta Tau's in a 3-minute overtime, 29 to 28, last night. Free throws by Anderson and Kurth with 30 seconds remaining seemed to have put the game on ice. Howeyer, Unruh, ace Hellhounds guard, evened the score at 28 all with a long shot from the center of the court.
In the extra period, players on both teams had chances to be heroes but couldn't seem to find the iron

It will be Jayhawk against Tiger once more tomorrow when the Kansas and Missouri track teams tangle at Columbia in their annual indoor dual meet that dates back to 1904.
ARROW
Missouri, the defending Big Six indoor champion, will be favored to win, but Kansas' most recent showing has encouraged Coach Bill Harggl. The Jayhawks did better than expected in their dual meet with Kansas State.
The final event, the mile relay, decided the Jayhawk-Wildcat dual and it was only by inches that Kansas was nosed out for first place in the relay. Consequently, Hargiss is hoping to give the Tigers considerably more competition than they are expecting.
Harris Won't Run
The Jayhawkers will be without the services of Ray Harris, star distance runner and captain, as Coach
Hargiss plans to leave him out of competition this week in order that he will be in shape for the Big Six indoor meet at Kansas City, March 9. Harris ran on an injured leg against Kansas State, but will not compete in the Missouri meet. Handicapped as he was, Harris still managed to set

a new meet record in the mile run of
4:29.9 and place third in the two mile.
Close on Harris's heels in the mule was Dick Edwards, a lanky sophomore who is a very promising middle distance runner. A star half-miler in high school, Edwards runs both the half-mile and mile in good time. Sophs Doing the Job
Classed with Edwards as a coming middle distance runner is Don Thompson, speedy sophomore who was a star at Lawrence High School. Thompson captured the half-mile in both the Kansas State and Nebraska dual meets. His time against the Wildcats was 2:01.
Two other sophomores scored victories in the field events against Kansas State. Jack O'Hara made his best vault of the season to set a new meet record in the pole vault of 12 feet 6 1-2 inches.
The broad jump was won by J. R. Jones, a new man who is expected to be a real star. He has not hit his stride indoors yet, but showed what he could do when he jumped better than 23 feet as a freshman last spring.
A pair of junior letterman won the Jayhawks' other two first places, Darrell Mathes winning the 60-yard dash and Bill Greene taking the 440-yard run. Mathes was very impressive in the short sprint, turning in the fastest time made by a Big Six runner this winter, 6.3. Greene's winning time in the 440 was 53.8 and he added a fast quarter in the mile relay to this later in the meet.

THE BOAT IS IN FLAMMAGE. THE CHILDREN ARE SINKING.
A man feeding cattle at a market.
With all boats gone and with no visible chance to escape, the terrified Robinsons manifest such unexpected courage as to bring pride to the heart of William, the father. Unable to help themselves, they face their fate with calm resignation as the sea continues to rise eminently in the cabin of the stricken ship. . . But their guardian angel must have marked the Robinsons for better things, for the storm suddenly subsides. And they discover to their amazement a lush tropical island not far away. Going down into the hold, William finds that the livestock, providentially, is in good condition.
CRAVATH
THE BOAT WORKS
Looking about for a means by which to make their escape ashore, William hits upon the idea of building a raft out of barrels. With the help of Jack, Ernest, and Fritz the necessary material is brought out on deck and finally the raft is put together and launched overside. Then begins the back-breaking task of salvaging such of the ship's cargo as will help them to maintain life on this strange island. With a heavy sea still running William and his boys undertake the hazardous work of loading the raft. Only the barest essentials can be taken, and the family suffer soul torment as they abandon many of their personal possessions. (Continued).

What Does It Mean?
Circulation among men students of petitions seeking to bring to popular vote the anti-smoking ordinance has precipitated speculation by ill persons concerned, as to the probable outcome of the proposed action.
That a successful student election, resulting in the defeat and repeal of the Council bill, would serve only to clear the way for even tricter University regulations, is the contention of one faction. Supporters of this belief ay that University authorities desire unconstitional smoking limitation, and would sieze pon the opportunity thus offered them, by reeal, to impose an administration ultimatum rohibiting campus smoking. In such an event, tudents would have not even the dubious reourse of a student court.
Demonstrations of protestations in which students might indulge, these same persons point out, would avail little or nothing against tamant authority. The University of Kansas could be one more state school where the campus is free of fire hazard, where state buildings are clean of cigaret stubs, and where stunts are stripped, in large measure, of democratic government.
Were such powers assumed by the administration, the very ideas of material protection, student pride, and state-wide opinion, which were advanced as the bases of the original reliction, would be upheld only through the path of student government. That is the belief of those who wish the discontinuance of the institutions.
Believing thus, several students are seeking withdrawal of the petitions—whether of their own volition or through threat of more ingent regulation—in an effort to salvage the f-government that they do now have.
On the other hand, those promulagating the culation of the petitions feel that much stuart opinion is squarely behind them. They ant out that the majority of the student body upon the present anti-smoking bill as an trument passed without full consideration of, by, the students, and that opposition to the assure, at fever heat when it was passed, is I warm enough to cause the defeat, in open ction, of the ordinance.
Protagonists of the petition movement fur- r point out that the petition was instituted a test of the validity of student government. ey hope that strongly organized opposition any move for smoking limitation will indicate futility of seeking to continue the imposition hat restriction; they complain that if reco- nation of the measure by the student body is allowed, not only will student government

There is no more stupid person than he who has such opportunity as this presented to him and does not advantage of it. Wassermann examinations are a free at the Watkins hospital and require only a minutes. No one can afford to do without them. Is silly to say that they are not necessary, or to be ash about it.

thereafter be done way with in this regard, but also that student government will be a complete farce, and valueless.
Each side has taken a firm stand, and the issues are clearly defined. In any case, strong resistance by the reactionaries, by the "rebels", or by the authorities, can easily lead to much adverse publicity throughout the state and the nation, for the student body as well as for the school and its authorities.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
Being the day after George Washington's birthday, today logically should see the opposite of traditional Feb. 22 truthfulness. Everyone is due to suffer a relapse. And as a result, there will be a high rate of prevarication. In case such a trend should appear, we already have interviewed the top-shots on the Hill, and have copied down the little words they didn't say but maybe would have said if they all went around talking in reverse of their usual opinions.
C. H. Mullen: "I don't think the smoking bill should be enforced. Hereafter, you can smoke where you please."
★
Henry Werner: "Yesterday I went fishing and, by jove, I didn't even get a bite."
★
Velma Wilson: "We all think Freddie Littoo is the nicest, kindest, fairest, squarre-shooting, and most adorable man we know."
★
Fred Littioy: "According to a clause in our contract with Dorsey, everybody except the working press must be admitted to the Junior Prom on a pass."
★
Miss Meguiar: "Why, everybody knows there is politics in the women's elections. These combines have got to go."
★
H. R. Knickerbocker: "Hitler is to the twentieth century what A. Lincoln was to the nineteenth."
Richard McCann: "This coming issue of the Jayhawker is undoubtedly the worst in the history of the magazine."
★
★
John Oakson: "I can say unreservedly that the present P.S.G.L council has done more for the KU. student than any other body in the history of the school."
★
Dean D. M. Swarthout: "On the whole, musical programs this year have been on the stinking side."
Dr. F. C. Allen: "Kansas will win the Big Six basketball title in 1941, 1942. and 1943."
★
Jim Robertson: "Don't buy the Sour Owl. It's terrible."
★
Rolla Nuckles: "I think it cannot be undisputed that I am Mt. Oread's poorest excuse for an actor."
★
Olin Templin: "We are planning a dormitory for men who do not have high scholarship."

Bob Marietta: "At this University, without Pachacamac, the men students would be nothing."

The Shinsters: "Our column is just pure drivel."
Clyde Smith: "I would nominate Dale Brodie and Clyde Bysom (in that order) as the best dance bands on the Hill."
I. Q.'s Inherited, Says Michigan Professor
(From the Michigan Daily, University of Michigan.)
Father's mental powers are so much like those of his college boy son that Prof. Walter B. Pillsbury, of the psychology department believes that University officials could just as well use the father's I.Q for an entrance examination.
Professor Pillsbury has made a statistical study of hereditary intelligence at the University, and he has discovered that there is almost as much correlation between the marks of father and son as there is between the marks a student receives in high school and college.
Because there is such conclusive evidence, "one night even use membership in a family with a good scholastic record as a basis of admission to the University," the Michigan psychologist concludes.
Professor Pillsbury also found a similarity between the intelligence of children in the same family. That is even closer than that of parent and offspring. He insists that his research shows that this correlation is mainly the result of inherited ability, and is not due to a similarity of home and school environment.
Conclusions of the experiment
are published in the current issue of the Michigan Alumnus Quarterly Review.
College grades of 123 pairs of parents and children were compared in Professor Pillsbury's study. It was learned that in all instances there is a similarity which could be traced through the generations, and which was not the result of pure chance alone.
The study here was financed in part by a grant from the Faculty Research Fund, and tabulation was done by NYA workers. All of the grades compared were taken from records since the present marking system was established here.
Certain other factors which would tend to reduce the accuracy of the survey were discounted: including the tendency for parents and children to study different subjects and to write different types of examinations.
Summerfield's Meet Tomorrow
Summerfield scholars will hold their monthly colloquium at 6 o'clock tonight at the Colonial tea room. Jae Tihen, c'40, and Rodercik Burton, c'40, wil lspeak on "Fossil-Hunting in Kansas" and "Rational Pacificism" respectively.
I will write it as text content.
I'll use standard Markdown to represent the image, and then convert it into text. The text is cut off at the bottom, but I can infer it from the layout.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
It is always advisable to keep in contact with other state universities and watch what they are doing to improve their schools. Perhaps their problems are similar to ours and their solutions might be applicable here.
For instance the following headline in the Daily Texan, student paper of the University of Texas, gives us some insight into activities on the Austin campus.
Desire Unsuppressed to Reign At Girls' Junior Prom Tonight
And another paper brings us the information that students of the University of Capetown, South Africa, are threatening to strike because they are not allowed to smoke in their classrooms during examinations.
They are also insisting on tea being served during morning and afternoon examination periods.
There's one student body that knows when its rights are being infringed upon. The poor devils.

"THE DAYS OF JESSE JAMES"
We're surprised that Harry Hill's favorite story hasn't appeared in his own column yet. The one about the cow that scratched herself jumping the barb-wire fence and exclaimed, "I'm utterly ruined!"
Add late Valentines: Marilou Miler at the Chi Amoeo house sent Bill McGimnis a pillow in the shape of a heart during Sigma Nu hell week with the touching sentiment, "To protect my Valentine."

"SPEED'S fine in hockey, but not in cigarettes”—Roy,
how right you are!
Research men may use fancier language—but they say exactly the same thing about cigarettes.
Scientists know that nothing destroys a cigarette's delicate elements of fragrance and flavor so mercilessly—as *excess heat*. And cigarettes that burn fast also burn hot. Your own taste tells you that.
Slow-burning cigarettes don't burn away these precious natural elements of flavor and fragrance. They're milder, mellower, and -naturally -cooler!
And the slowest-burning cigarette of the 16 largest-selling brands tested was Camell! They burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested. (See panel below. right.)
So...why not enjoy Camel's extra mildness, coolness, fragrance, and flavor?...And extra smoking equal to 5 extra smokes per pack.
SPEED'S FINE IN HOCKEY
BUT NOT IN CIGARETTES.

Kansas Downs N.U. To Remain in Race
Miller Sets Pace In 48-41 Win
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 24—(Special to The Kansan).-The Kansas Jayhawkers gained a half step on the league-leading Missouri Tigers by downing Nebraska, 48 to 41, here tonight. It was the final game of the season for the Cornhuskers.
Ralph Miller, red-hot Kansas forward, looped in 20 points to pace the winners' attack. Miller tallied 13 of his points in the last half when the Huskers were rallying brilliantly.
Trailing 16 to 23 at the intermission, Nebraska came from behind to lead 33 to 32 and 35 to 34 with about eight minutes left to go. But from then on the Jayhawkers pulled away fast from their tiring opponents.
Tomorrow Kansas goes to Ames, Iowa, for a Monday night tilt with the Iowa State Cyclones. The box score:

Students of the different departments in the School of Engineering and Architecture will have a chance to bury the hatchet for an evening as they all gather for the fortyth annual all engineers banquet, March 29. Ticket sales will begin March 1.
Plans for program and entertainments are in the hands of George Rippey, e'40, president of the School of Engineering. Each department will have displays of student work on the tables and the menus will be in blue prints or some other feature of engineering style.
Skilton to Play---
Organ Vespers Program In Hoch This Afternoon
Vesper music will swell from Hoch auditorium at 4 o'clock this afternoon when Charles S. Skilton, professor of organ, presents a program of numbers from five centuries of English organ compositions.
Music typical of the sixteenth century will be the "Prelude for 'Let us with Pure Hearts'" by John Bull. From the seventeenth century will come Henry Purcell's "Prelude in G." and representative of the eighteenth century will be "Water Music" by Handel. Nineteenth century compositions will include the
Exemplifying the present day, will be two "Sea Preludes" by Robin Milford and "Trumpet Voluntary" by Purcell-Wood. Two trumpets, two trombones, a tympani, and side drum will supplement the organ in the presentation of "Trumpet Voluntary," and Professor Skilton will be assisted by Eugene Crabb, fa'41; Leo Horacek, fa'41; Leslie Sperling, fa'41; Hobart Potter, e'43; Robert Jenkins, fa'43; and Jack Moore, fa'40.
"Spring Song" by Alfred Hollins and "Concert Overture in E Flat" by William Faulkens.
The petitions, if signed by 10 per cent of the male students, would have brought the no-smoking law to a popular vote.
Chancellor Deane Malott last night "knew nothing about" the smoke-law petitions which, when reported near success Friday, later disappeared from the campus.
Andy Hibbard, l'41, who was pushing petition signatures last night would make no statement as to why he discontinued the move. Friday morning, Hibbard called the Daily Kansan office to request that nothing more be said regarding the petitions and his participation in the move.
In Conference
Hibbard conferred with the Chancellor early Friday morning.
Indications that the withdrawal of the pelitients did not end the attempt at referendum were given last night. The Kansan Board will meet tomorrow to decide if the paper will support the signature drive officially. Daniel Runner
Rumor that the Board of Regents was back of a move to spike the drive was denied last night by Fred M. Harris, Ottawa, chairman of the Board.
Though Harris said he was in Lawrence Wednesday night, he denied having discussed the smoking issue with Chancellor Malott. "The question has never been referred to the Regents," Harris said, "and I have heard it mentioned only casually."
Denies Rumor
Book Exchange To Pay Off Monday The "Pay Off" bp the book exchange in the School of Engineering will be held Monday, Feb. 26, George Rippey, head of the book exchange announced today. All students who turned in books to be sold at the end of the semester will be paid for the books that were sold by the exchange. An increase over last year was made in this year's sales, according to Rippey.
Opera Ballet To Be Here Monday Night
The San Francisco Opera Ballet, directed by William Christensen, will appear in a program of two aesthetic dances in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 o'clock tomorrow night. First of the ballets will be "Coppelia," the Des Libes classic, which tells the story of two young people who are confronted with the serious problem of choosing mates. The second, "In Vienna" describes several light incidents in a Viennese day of the early 70's.
Just as every actor aspires to play the part of Hamlet, every ballerina looks forward to the day when she can dance the role of Swanhilda in "Coppelia." This season, Janet Reed, the titian-haired ballerina of the San Francisco Opera Ballet, has achieved that goal.
Artistic Director
Dancing the principal male role will be William Christensen, young Danish-American artist, who not only arranges the ballets for the group, but also acts as artistic director.
The story of "Coppelia" is well within the spirit of the period of its creation, when practically all ballets were designed for an individual star, just as many plays are written for some particular actress or actor. The undertaking of works of this type demonstrates the respect which the director holds for his ballerina.
Lighter in theme than "Coppelia" is the final number, "In Vienna." The music for this ballet was writ-

To Put The Grip On 92 Today
Chi Omega Founded Here In 1902
By Helen Beth Faubian, c'43
Lambda chapter of Chi Omega the fourth sorority on the Hill, was organized in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George O. Foster in 1902. The ten charter members were installed by Anna Shannon from the mother chapter at Fayetteville, Ark.
Snonsors Achievement Award
The first meetings of this group were held in the attic of the George Foster home. In 1903 they established the first organized house with a housemother on the campus. Chi Omega was the first sorority to undertake the building and financing of its own home, which was completed in 1911. The house in which they are now living was erected in 1925 at a cost of $70,000.
While looking through a yearbook of the University of Wisconsin these ten student friends had read the record of Chi Omega. An inquiry was sent to the National Headquarters and later a representative was sent to visit them from the original chapter.
Chi Omega sponsors the National Achievement Award, which is a bronze medal given to the most outstanding woman in the United States each year. During the national convention the award is presented by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, and every other year the award is presented at the White House. The chapter on this campus offers the Chi Omega Award of $25 each spring to the most outstanding woman at the University in one of the fields of psychology, sociology, or economics. Traditional Banquets
The Chi Omega pin is an X composed of fourteen pearls upon a horseshoe. There are five Greek letters, an owl, and a skull and crossbones on the horseshoe. The colors, cardinal and straw, have long stood for civic and social service and collective attainment of the sorority.

Lifesavers Hold First Meeting
Pretty cold for swimming and it looks like a late spring, but Herbert G. Alliphn, chairman of the county Red Cross lifesaving unit, held the first meeting of the pre-training school in life-saving and water safety at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Robinson gym. Fourteen students reported for the work.
Patriotic Colors to Be In Vogue This Spring

Attention all campus co-eds! Be a "Miss Yankee Doodle!" Be smart and look smart in patriotic colors this spring. Prove that true American spirit within, you in selecting your spring suit or special Easter outfit by wearing the original shades of red, white, and blue in Betsy Ross' first flag.
It's red to lift your spirit, and that flattering color, blue which are so much in vogue. And of course white gives you that feeling of being a bit frivolous and extravagant. What other three colors together can give you a gayer or sharper contrast? What other three colors can give you that
Suits, coats, hats, shoes, gloves, bags, jewelry, and even formalms, have gone patriotic in style this season.
For those dull classes this spring put a navy blue skirt, or maybe a royal or other variations of the color blue, with a fresh, crisp white blouse (frills and laces are good too) and always add a perky red bow in your hair with your red anklets and sport "flats". You'll feel like spring itself and be surprised how interesting a dull class can really be.
And of course what co-ed doesn't want to look super-smart for that dinner date during the week, or that all important weekend affair? Try a gray and blue silk pring with a touch of red in the belt, hat or the ever popular costume jewelry. Or maybe it's the date for the Saturday night show which is presenting your immediate difficulty. Why not "suit yourself in a suit"? Suits can't be left out of your wardrobe this spring and the navy blue, plain or pin-striped tailor appears to be the height of fashion. Swing skirts are the style for the pastel colored suits. Pick the one which suits your personality.
But above all, be patriotic in choosing your spring color scheme.
Funds to Provide Fine Arts Prizes
Interest amounting to $197 annually from the estate of the late Miss Annie M. P. Bundy of Topeka will be allotted to scholarships for students in the School of Fine Arts, it was announced yesterday by Karl Klooz, bursar.
Five thousand dollars of the $6,-106.35 portion of the estate left to the School of Fine Arts has been invested at 3 per cent interest and the remainder at 2.9 per cent.
The first interest payment will be received in June and will be available for use at the beginning of the fall term. The second half interest payment will come next January and will be ready to use during the spring semester.
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, at present is working to complete plans of the administration of the scholarship.
Miss Bundy, who died in 1938, was graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1895 and for years had taken an active interest in the school.

Two geologists, Bruce Latta, and Thad McLaughin of the Groundwater Division of the Kansas Geological Survey, are making a brief reconnaissance of Chautauqua and Montgomery counties, according to Raymond Whitla of the Geological Survey.
Geology Survey To Aid Farmers And Stockmen
An attempt is being made to aid the farmers and stockmen in that area who lack sufficient water for their livestock. Because of the difficulty of finding water in the limestone and shale formations there are few good wells in these counties. The residents have depended on pond water, which because of drought, no longer supplies their needs. The geologists merely study the formations and point out the likely locations; the farmers must drill their own wells and supply their own materials.
Department of Entomology Gets Water-bug Collection
The department of entomology has just received a shipment of water-bugs of various types from northeastern Manchuria. The shipment contained 500 to 1,000 bugs, many of which are new in the field of science.
Started in the '60's by Dr. F. H. Snow, former chancellor of the University, the collection is one of the most complete of new world insects owned by any university in
America. Each year the department adds from 35,000 to 50,000 bugs to the collection.

M.U. Swamps Trackmen
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
The accident insurance rate on Jayhawker track captains is probably as high as that on any group you can find. In the last six years Coach "Bill" Hargiss has been deprived—partially or completely—of the services of five captains and two co-captains, six of them via the injury route.
This year Bill hit the jack pot when Bob Stoland lost in a joust with the eligibility rules, and Ray Harris has been hampered for two weeks with a badly sprained ankle. He will not run again until he competes in the Big Six indoor meet at Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
This jinx began in 1936 when Elwyn Dees, star shot putter, was laid low for weeks with a bone infection. The bone had to be scraped and he missed nearly all the regular season. However, he did regain his usual form in time to win the National Collegiate shot put championship.
In '37 Charley Pitts, the broad-jumper, was the leader and though he competed right on through the season with a pulled muscle he could not reach the performances that won him the Relays' jumping crown his junior year.
Wade Green, a salty quartermiler his junior year, was elected to lead the Jayhawk thin-clads during 1937, but a football injury hobbled him during his senior campaign.
The next year another 440 star, Harry Wiles, captained the team aid in a dual meet with Missouri in Brewer fieldhouse he was spiked and the tendon in the back of his heel was nearly severed. The rest of the season was spent recovering from the injury and he was able to do only a little running late in the spring.
Last year sprinter Lyle Foy was honored with the track captaincy, but a pulled leg muscle kept him from touching the performances he had turned in during his sophomore and junior years.
Chi Omega's and Theta's Win Games
Kappa Alpha Theta overpowered
Alpha Omicron Pi, 11 to 6, in women's intramural basketball Thursday night. Agile Ruth Olive Brown shot 10 out of the Theta's 11 points.
None of the current track team believes in witches or gobblings or moon cults, but they have just about decided not to elect a captain for next year.
Spirited spectators cheered Chi Omega on to a 14 to 7 victory over Alpha Chi Omega in the opposite court. Gloria Biechele, Chi Omega, was high-scorer with 10 points.
Jayhawks Take Only One Event In 81-23 Defeat
Columbia, Mo., Feb. 24—(Special to The Kansan).—Winning 11 of the 12 events, the Missouri Tigers' well-balanced track team swamped Kansas, 81 to 23, in Brewer fieldhouse here tonight.
The Jayhawkers only first place came in the 60-yard dash when fleet little Darrell Mathes tied the record of 6.4 seconds, held by a former Kansan, Lyle Foy.
John Munski, the Bengals' super distance ace, set up new marks in the mile and two-mile runs as he scampered in ahead o'
Dominoes I Move Closer To Playoff
By Clint Kanaga. c'42
Led by Deines and Maier, the Dominoes I moved closer to a playoff berth with a 38 to 6 victory over the Jayhawk Co-op. It was the Dominoes' sixth victory in eight starts.
The Phi Gamma Delta powerhouse whaled the Acacia team 41 to 19 despite the absence of their scoring ace, Roscoe Hambric. Chain Healy, Phi Gam, shifted from his customary guard position to Hambric's place on the front line and grabbed the scoring honors with seven field goals and one free throw.
Retaliating from their one-point defeat at the hands of the Hell-hounds, the Theta Tau's slaughtered Kappa Eta Kappa, conquerers of the Comets, 40 to 17. Barnett, Theta Tau guard, garnered 24 points.
Phi Gam "B" suffered its first loss in seven games, falling before Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B," 19 to 22. Phi Psi "B" continued to be the pacesetter of Division IV with an impressive 46 to 10 triumph over Sig Ep "B." Beta "B" downed Sigma Nu "B," 26 to 13 with Surface, Beta, starring.
Contests won by forfeit are as follows: ISA-1 over ISA-3, Phi Delta Theta over Delta Upsilon, Alpha Tau Omega over Sigma Phi Epsilon, Hexagons I over Ohio Ichabods, Phi Dirt “C” over Phi Delt “D.” Delta Tau Delta “C” over Sigma Chi “C,” Beta “C” over Sig Ep “C.”

THE HAVEN IS ALSO TROPICAL. A RAINY SEASIDE IS CLOSED, WITH LARGE TRANSFER DUCKS AND MORE FISHING VESSELS. THE LANDMARKS ARE TALL PALMS AND BOOK STORIES.
Fully loaded and with the livestock swimming alongside tethered to the raft, the Robinsons abandon the wreck and begin their perilous crossing to the shore. Again and again green seas sweep over the frail craft, filling the barrels and tubs with water; but by dint of constant balling they manage, somehow, to stay afloat. . . The nightmarish trip is finally completed in safety, and after they have brought all their salvage ashore, the exhausted family, led by the father, offer a prayer to Providence for their deliverance from the angry sea.

The following day, the sea having subsided, William decides to risk another trip to the wreck in order to salvage more necessities. With a sinking heart, Elizabeth, left with Fritz and her baby, watches from the shore as William, Jack, and Ernest begin their hazardous crossing back to the stricken brig. . . Having spent the night on the wreck, William and the boys arise at dawn and begin loading the raft. Suddenly the brig begins to break up under their feet. Working furiously, they manage to complete their loading just in time. But, as they cast off, William trips and is knocked unconscious into the sea. Deregarding his own safety, Jack jumps into the water and rescues his father. (Continued)

E. H. S. Bailey, for whom the chemistry laboratories were named, also was an early lecturer of the bureau.
Keeler Remembers Old Chautauqua Days Of Lecture Bureau
Five faculty members who lectured for the bureau later became heads of departments in the College. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism, was one. Edmund H. Hollands, chairman of the department of philosophy, was another, and at that time dean of the college. Prof. Olin Templin, former head of the philosophy department, was a lecturer, was once dean of the college, and is now secretary of the endowment association.
Old Chautauqua days were recalled Wednesday by Guy V. Keeler, director of the University lecture bureau, which this year is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. Mr. Keeler has been associated with the bureau for 18 of its 25 years.
It was through this system, which was similar to the chautauqua system of education that Dr. Hamilton P. Cady, chairman of the department of chemistry, and discoverer of helium in natural gas, became known throughout this section of the country for his lectures on liquid air.
A quarter century ago, the extension division arranged lectures exclusively from among 85 faculty members, many of whom are still active in the University.
Last year, the bureau scheduled a total of 286 faculty lectures and 347 non-faculty engagements. A total of 467 non-faculty concerts and entertainments and 10 faculty and student recitals were arranged by the bureau for 342 different communities.
The bureau began a policy of offering University credit for some of the faculty lectures when accompanied by supplementary readings and examination.
L. D. Havenhill and Raymond A. Schwegler also were lecturers for the bureau. Professor Havenhill later became dean of the School of Pharmacy, and Professor Schwegler became dean of the School of Education. Dr. James Naismith, late professor emeritus of physical education, lectured for the bureau on the physical development of the child. Faculty members of the School of Fine Arts presented recitals as a part of the bureau's program. Only Chas. S. Skilton, head of the department of organ, and Carl A. Preyer, professor of piano, remain in the present School of Fine Arts faculty.
That lecture which Cady illustrated by freezing cranberries and throwing them to the audience was one of the most popular.
Dr. William Burdick, dean emeritus of the School of Law at the University traveled the bureau's circuits lecturing on the law of the family, the law of sales of personal property, and criminal law.

YOU SAID IT
A young Negro girl, Lucile Bluford, is fighting to get into the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri. Unfair and unconstitutional is the attempt to keep her out.
The University of Missouri is maintained through funds from the state treasury. Negroes have poured millions upon millions, over a period of more than a century, into that state treasury. For the state itself and for private individuals within that state, Negroes have labored for years. Their wages, when they got any, were lower than those received by white men doing the same kind of work.
The Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decisions of the lower courts in the case of Lloyd L. Gaines. On December 12, 1938, it ruled by a 6-2 decision that if a state provided legal training for its residents, it must be upon "basis of equality of right." Galanes had been denied admittance to the school and on the ground that it was contrary to the state laws for
Let Her In!
To the Editor:
a Negro to be admitted. If a Negro is denied admittance to the school, equal facilities must be provided for him elsewhere in the state.
Since equal facilities are not available to Miss Bluford elsewhere in the state, it is her undeniable right to be admitted to the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
If you think you are well-informed on current events, don't take Time magazine's latest quiz on the world and national affairs. Chances are your bubble would be exploded.
On the other hand, if you think merely that you know more than the average college student, it might be well to give the exam a try. The college average, Time said, wrote a score of 50 on 105 questions. Unless you have just returned from a year's hermitage in Bali Bali, you probably can beat that mark. Or maybe Time set the "college average" pretty low to make the readers feel intelligent.

We didn't really get mad when they dragged old Confucius out of his grave and made him the mouth-piece for a lot of amateur wise-crackers. But anger and combat now are flaming within us. Because they have worked dear old George Washington into a Confucius gag. And that is carrying everything just too far. Here's what the South Dakota U. "Volante" quips:
"Confucius say—Little boy who chop down cherry tree on the sly, will get axed about it by and by!" Are we sore!

Now that both the Republicans and Democrats have decided where and when they will hold their conventions at least part of the political smoke has blown away. An
announcement about the third term would leave lots of clear sky showing. We hope at least that Mr. Roosevelt has made up his mind before the student politicians start their annual antics next month. Otherwise, with so much party politics in the air (national and state and campus), we wouldn't blame University students for getting disgusted with democracy and joining up with the "subversive" forces.

Department Exhibit Shows Modern Trends
★
By Bob Trump, c'42
Abstraction Is Theme--stone, and plastics; and a sixth with display, stage exposition and architecture.
Wood that bends . . . photographs made without a camera . . . three dimensional paper cutouts . . . blobs of smoothly shaped clay and polished walnut . . . panels of wire brushes, sandpaper, and velvet.
All these and many more mysterious, yet fascinating objects are responsible for the excitement which has pervaded the atmosphere in the third floor of Frank Strong hall since an exhibition of abstract modern design from the Chicago studios of Majoly-Nagy arrived one day last week and was put on display in room 320.
Intended to show problems, experiments, and experiences taught to educate students as designers in current scientific materials, this exhibition has attracted attention at schools throughout the country.
The Maholy Nagy studio in Chicago boasts six workshops—one dealing with wood and metal; a second with textile weaving and dyeing; a third with color, murals, and decorating; a fourth with light, photography, typography, and motion pictures; a fifth with glass, clay.
This school aims to give its students "an exact mental and physical knowledge of wood, metal, plastics, glass, and textiles and to educate eyes and hands in qualities inherent in materials for manufacture." Through this method, the students are able to discover for themselves both the abilities and limitations of the materials with which they are to work in the future.
By experimenting with tacile exercises and hand-sculpture, the student adapts the sensibility of the hand to various materials. Thus, while his smoothly polished, shapeless pieces of wood and his panels covered with wire bristles, sand-paper, and felt may seem queer, he is actually gaining knowledge which may enable him to construct a new steering wheel or an umbrella handle.
Similarly, through experimentation with three-dimensional paper cutouts,the student learns how he (Continued on page seven)

Speech Festival Here in March
Thirty-five high schools have already entered the Speech and Dramatics Festival to be held at the University March 29 and 30 under the sponsorship of the department of speech and dramatic art and the extension division, Lee Gemmell, field representative of the extension division, reported.
Contests held during the Festival will be divided into the following: Extempore speaking, standard oration, original oration, after-dinner speaking, readings, one-act plays, and radio drama.
The schools participating will be classified according to enrollment. Class A schools are those with an enrolment of 500 or over, class B school 200 to 250 enrollment, and class C schools below 200 enrollment.
Conestants will be judged and ranked in five divisions. Gemmell painted out that under the system used, it is possible for every contestant in any contest to be in the first division.
A prominent feature of the Festival will be the presentation of the play "Holiday" on Friday night by the K.U. Kansas Players.
Classes to Hear Boston Woman
University classes in home economics will hear a guest speaker Tuesday when Mrs. Gladys Beckett Jones, president of the Garland School of Boston, visits the campus as the guest of Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Maiott.
Mrs. Jones will speak at 10:30 p.m to Miss Elizabeth Meguiar's class in home decoration and Miss Viola Anderson's class in standards of living and family finance. At 1:30 p.m. she will speak to Miss Ruth E. Parker's class in selection and preparation of foods and Miss Elizabeth Sprague and Miss Kathryn Tissue's class on special problems.
Tuesday evening the home economics staff will honors Mrs. Jones with a dinner at Evans Hearth.
Chancellor Malott, before coming to the University, was for some years a trustee of the Garland School, which trains girls in home economics, arts, and sciences.
Mrs. Jones' lectures will be open to the public.

Wood cutting exercises demonstrate the potentialities of new machines with which solid pieces of wood can be given rubber-like elasticity. Work with prints, enlargements, photomontages, and photograms gives the student an exact knowledge of light and shadow.
And, just to prove that the artists who advance this theory of instruction know what they are doing, steel tubular furniture was developed entirely, and plywood furniture has been influenced greatly by this school of thought.
The exhibition will remain on display in the department of design for one more week.
Medical Society To Meet Tomorrow
The University of Kansas Medical Society will meet tomorrow in the Children's Pavilion at the University School of Medicine, Kansas City, Kan.
The program will include a discussion of the chemistry of sulphanilamide by Dr. Harold P. Brown, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas City. "Research Chemist" by Dr. George A.

Ernie Fields Played for Negro Varsity
To the inspired music of Ernie Fields and his orchestra 420 colored students and their guests danced at the negro varsity from 10 to 2 a.m. Friday night in the Memorial Union building.
Fields and his 14-piece band alternated between "sweet swing" and a slow New Orleans blues style featuring Renee Hall, guitarist. One of the pieces, "Shadrach," was especially adapted to Field's type of presentation. The number featured the voice of soloist Melvin Moore against a choral background provided by band members.
The party, an annual affair, has been given the colored students as a compensation for the regular varsities. A sum is created each year from the student activity reserve fund for the party. The amount allotted this year was $200. Each of the 128 colored students was allowed to bring two guests.
Fields, who once played the piano but found he liked the trombone better, graduated from Tuscogee Institute, in Oklahoma, in 1925 as an engineer. Nine years later he had picked musicians from Tulsa, Kansas City, St. Louis, New Orleans, and New York and was already playing engagements in the East. He likes the South because it's warm, and his favorite band leader is Jimmie Lunceford.
Members of the committee in charge of the varsity were Bessie Jamison, c'40; Robert Clark, fa'ucl.; Lillian French, fa'41; and Curtis Burton, c'40.
Art Instructor To Give Lecture
An illustrated lecture on "Abstract Art and Industrial Design" will be given at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall by Frederick Kann, instructor of industrial design and commercial art at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Here as a guest of the department of design, Mr. Kann has had wide experience as artist, art director, and teacher in this country and abroad.
The speaker, who was born in Sudetenland, Germany, first studied architecture and painting in Munich and in Prague. He later went to Paris where he received his degree from the Sorbonne. He has taught in several of the leading Parisian schools and for four years was professor at the Ecole de l'Union des Arts Decoratif.
Because of his thorough training in the traditional schools of art, Mr. Kann is to be regarded as a legitimate exponent, not an imitator, of the contemporary abstract school of painting and sculpture.
Several of his paintings and one of his sculptures are now on exhibition in the department of design on the third floor of Frank Strong hall.
Palmer Refused Reinstatement
Robert N. Palmer, whose arrest or the charges of possession of liquor Feb. 7 has kept him from attending classes for the past two weeks, was refused re-instatement into the University by authorities yesterday.
Charges against Palmer, a graduate student who is working for a master's degree, were dropped on the grounds of insufficient evidence in a district court hearing Wednesday. His wife, Mrs. Wilma Palmer, was found guilty of the same charge in the hearing and is now serving a 30-day sentence in the Douglas county jail. She was also fixed $100.
Palmer has been seeking enrollment since the charges against him were dropped Wednesday.

The ballet group replaces the concert by Walter Gieseking, German pianist, which was originally planned for this time, but was cancelled because the foreign situation prevented the musician from leaving Europe. Season ticket holders may present their tickets to the Gieseking concert for admittance to the ballet program.
Student activity books will be honored upon presentation at the door. Reserved seats may be purchased at the office of the School of Fine Arts, Bell's Music store, or the Round Corner drug store.

J.E. Walters To Give Job Tips Tonight
Job-hunting seniors will receive tips on "How to Find a Payroll and Get Your Name on It" from Dr. J. E. Walters, director of personnel at Purdue University, at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Fraser theater. Dr. Walters will discuss how to choose your prospective employer, how to contact companies and make applications, and how to interview a prospective employer.
This lecture is the first of three forums on employment sponsored by the Alumni Association and the class of 40. As director of personnel in the schools of engineering and science, and professor of personnel administration at Purdue University since 1926, he has counselled and placed thousands of Purdue graduates. He has been employed as personnel and management consultant for several industrial concerns. Since 1933 he has served as Secretary of the Indiana Personnel Association.
Author of several books, he discusses in his latest book, "Modern Management," the management and personnel methods of 233 companies investigated in 1933-34 during a leave of absence from Purdue. Using this background, Dr. Walters will speak both from the standpoint of placement officer of a large university and from his extensive contacts with business and employment opportunities as an employer.
Although his remarks will be designed particularly to give the grad-

Third Jayhawker Out Thursday
The latest issue of the Jayhawker will be ready for distribution Thursday. Richard MacCann, c'40, editor said today.
Harry Hill, c'41, in his article entitled "Wanted: an Assembly Line," deals with the University's problems. The satire written by Roderick Burton, c'40, about how people study, illustrated by caricatures and photographs, should bring back memories of the hectic final week. An editorial discusses the grading system.
The basketball situation is brought up to date, and there are two action pictures of the sport by Hale Branine, e'43. The activities going on in Dyche museum are described, and the School of Fine Arts is given pictorial recognition.
Besides the articles written along the central theme there are several other new features, MacCann said. One article reveals what professors do in their spare time—if any. Religion on the Hill receives attention in a feature article.
For the first time this year two-color art is being used within the magazine, MacCann said.

Record-- Mis-Parks 16 Times
What to do about a student driver who violates parking rules more than four times never occurred to Men's Student Councilmen but they had to face the problem last night.
The law assigns penalties for each of the first four offenses but when a student violated the law more than that the parking committee didn't know how to handle the case.
The student in question managed to mis-park his car 16 times and the parking committee appealed to the M.S.C. for penalty assignments for the last 12 offenses. Considering, the Council placed a maximum of $5 on each violation beyond the first four.
But the unkindest cut in the case of the habitual violator—the student didn't have a license to park his car on the Hill in the first place.
Stops Plans To Take M.U. Game to City
By Jay Simon, c'40 Kansan Sports Editor
Plans to take the Missouri-Kansas championship basketball game to Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Friday night fell through at noon today when Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that he did not want the game to be taken away from the campus.
Early this morning Dr. F. C. Allen issued a statement that he would be willing to give up any home floor advantage that his team would have and allow the game to be taken to the huge auditorium, if satisfactory arrangements could be made with all parties concerned.
The Kansas City Star was pushing the game and Dan Partner, of the paper's sports staff, had contacted Coach George Edwards of Missouri. Edwards was*
tickled to death with the idea of getting to play the game in Kansas City.
Mizzou Coach's O.K.
PETER M. BROWN
It had been planned to allow the Mens' Student Council and the Women's self - governing Association to vote on whether or not the game would be taken to the City. If their permission was given, all that would have been necessary was to get the conference's permission
DR.F.G.CALLEN, to play on the neutral court, and arrange transportation for the students holding season tickets.
Consensus concerning the ballet was that it was great entertainment; that the two-piano accompaniment was good though a bit on the sloppy side; that the ballerine were as pretty a crew of girls as one would be apt to find
Players Approve
Even the dancers looked surprised last night when a large audience in Hoch auditorium here gave the San Francisco ballet one of the warmest reception accorded any terpischorean group that ever showed in Lawrence. Seldom do Mount Oread audiences become so enthusiastic over any sort of an entertainment that they will demand three, four and five curtain calls as they did last night.
Doctor Allen hit upon the idea last night at Ames after the Jayhawkers defeated the Cyclones, 42 to 29 to make a "natural" of the Missouri game. He asked the players what they thought of the idea and they were unanimously in favor of the plan.
Even Dancers Liked It---- Enthusiastic Audience Sees San Francisco Ballet
Here is the statement that Doctor Allen gave out this morning:

Over 600 Sign Petition Asking Waring for Song
That modest little item about Fred Waring's willingness to write a song for the University if enough student interest was shown, appearing in last Wednesday's Kansan, started a one-man drive for student interest 'hich may culminate in K.U.'s having a new school song.
Originating the idea in his own room where a group of fellows were reading The Kansan, Bill Hogle, b'41, began this display of school

Move to Halt Game Brawls With K-State
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Goalposts and heads were marked for protection last night when the Men's Student Council, began action to secure with Kansas State a treaty to prohibit post-game brawls on the part of too-enthusiastic rooters.
President C. H. Mullen, l'42, said he would write to the student council at Manhattan immediately to try to get the concils from both schools together for a meeting or a banquet.
Promises Punishment
Arrangements similar to these led up to the existing pact to abolish pregame activities such as head-shaving and paint-daubing expeditions to opponents' campuses.
The pact promises violators drastic punishment. Though it was successful in abolishing pre-game destruction, the treaty did not deal with the somewhat recent practice of cane-raising when the game was over. Mullen said he feared that if something was not done, athletic relations between the two schools would be impaired.
Urges Change
The Council heard the smoke question again last night when Jim Postma, '141, introduced a bill which would penalize smoke-law violators in a different manner. The bill provides that a first offender be fined from $2 to $5, for second offense, $5 to $10. For a third offense, the bill stipulates, the student will be suspended from school for a semester. The bill will receive vote at the next meeting, March 11.
Eligibility rules brought M.S.C. careers to an abrupt close last night when it was announced that Ray Buzzell, b'41, Lester Olmsted, gr., and Ray Napier, e'40, had failed to meet scholastic requirements.
Vacanacies were filled by Moyne Lichlyter, m'42, John Weatherwax, c'42, and Bill Doee, c'41.
The Council gave its approval to a K-Book organization bill which

Carrie Watson Bruised in Fall
Miss Carrie M. Watson, librarian emerita, is in Lawrence Memorial hospital suffering from painful hip bruises received when she fell as she was leaving Watson library about 6 o'clock last night.
Her physician said today that Miss Watson had not broken her hip in the fall as had been feared, but that further X-rays would be necessary before saying whether she had suffered any bone fractures.
Miss Watson had requested that she be taken to Lawrence Memorial hospital when her physician was called.

Popular Kiddie Coat A New Fashion Feature
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
Remember the unadorned and unpretentious navy blue reefer of your younger days? That reefer is entering your adult life this season and promises to be the most popular light weight coat this spring.
These good substantial coats are made of plain navy, checked,
striped wool or heathery treeds, with navy winning the popularity contest. Some are single breasted with brass buttons;
others are single breasted, trim- $ ^{4} $
others are single breasted med with shining braid.
Full Swagger Back
One of the most charming of the reefers is made with a full swagger back, snugly caught at the waist with a trim half belt. A dressier coat, fashioned on reefer lines, has a ripple skirt made in pink and black checked English woolen and features the new hugh patch pockets.
That sports classic, the polo cont. will be again with us this spring. Its big pockets, smart lines, and snug wrap-around belt have made it a favorite of co-eds everywhere.
New Silhouette Job
For dressier occasions, a new silhouette in coats is offered. These coats, beautifully tailored with collariess, necklines and full belted fronts, are made of smooth woolens in the new pastel colors and worn with harmonizing print dresses.
Many a thrifty co-ed will buy one of the new three-piece suits with a long top coat, either tailored or trimmed with fur, and thereby gain a new suit as well as a light weight coat to wear over dresses until warm spring weather arrives.

Bring On The Tigers
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
Orv Mathews, the Oklahoma Rocket who is back in school after laying out five, is working out with the track squad and is rapidly regaining the old form that made him the fastest thing off skates when a Sooner high school boy . . . As a senior at the 1934 state interscholastic meet he scored 15 points in the dashes, running the century in 9.6, the furlong in 21.2 and the quarter in 49.6 . . Gentlemen, that's really scampering . . Kansas swimmers don't hold a single one of their eight pool records . . . Washington of St. Louis and Iowa State each have three and Nebraska and Kansas State have one apiece . . The baseball team has 14 letterterm returning this year, but no coach . . However, this situation will be remedied Friday evening when the Athletic boards meet, and it is our very personal hunch that "Dutch" Erhllaub will be along third base line when Jayhawk hitters are taking their cuts this spring . . Elon Torrence, former Kansan sports editor now with the Garden City Telegram, plans to make the long trek when be here Friday night for Missouri vs. Kansas.
Prior to the Missouri dual meet, the A.P. carried a story saying the Bengals' Higgins would be unable to vault in the meet . . . All he did was go 13 feet and take first place . . . Oklahoma's track team will get its only competition before the Big Six indoor this Saturday night at Lincoln in a two-way argument with the Huskers . . .
When Mathews and "Red" Littler hook up the cinders will really fly.
Lyman Corlis, last year's basketball captain, has been sparking the Haynes Hardware quintet of Emporia this season and scoring around 15 points a game . . . Former Emporia Teachers stars make up the remainder of the team . . .
Thursday night E. C. Quigley will dedicate his "You Can't Do That" radio program to the Kansas Jayhawkers . . . The program is at 9:30 over WIBW. Topeka . . . Ernie would be glad to have any suggestions on the program and will pay $1 to anyone who submits a question that he uses on his program. On Wednesday nights, Mr. Quigley asks a question and $3 is paid for the first correct answer sent in.
Home Ec Classes
Hear Boston Woman
Problems and needs of the family today were discussed by Mrs. Gladys Beckett Jones, president of the Garland School of Boston, when she addressed the combined home economics classes at 10:30 and 1:30 today.
During her visit of the campus Mrs. Jones will be a guest of Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott
Double Victory Sets up Friday's Battle With M.U.
Back from a successful two-game road trip, the Jayhawker basketball squad is rarin' to go after the league-leading Missouri Tigers in the championship game here Friday night.
The winner of the Missouri-Kansas tilt will have at least a share in the Big Six title. If the Tigers win they will have sole possession of the flag; if Kansas wins it will still have to dispose

Baseball Coach Will Be Named Friday Night
Baseball players are dusting out their uniforms and sharpening the cleats for another season, but as yet they have no coach. Ralph Conger, last year's baseball mentor, is now at Wentworth Military Academy and this spring's coach will not be elected until the Athletic board meets Friday night.
Only five lettermen were lost from last year's squad and 12 will be on hand when the first practice sessions get underway about March 15.
Clifford Brass, Paul Holcum, and Lester Kappleman have either graduated or used up their three years of competition and Frank Bukaty and Ed Hall are not eligible for athletics this semester.
Three returning pitchers, Ralph Dugan, Jack Sands, and John Burge, should give the Jayhawkers some dependable work from the mound.
The Big Six schedule for the baseball team has been announced as follows:
April 12—Kansas State at Lawrence.
April 13—Kansas State at Lawrence.
May 18—Kansas State at Manhattan.

of Oklahoma to claim undisputed rights to the championship.
Before leaving for the games with Nebraska and Iowa State, Dr. F. C. Allen said, "It looks like a long, cold trip to Siberia, but we'll do our best."
It might have been cold, but the weather didn't seem to affect Ralph Miller, Kansas forward, who suddenly became red hot to score 20 points against Nebraska and 19 against Iowa State, and lead the Jayhawks to the double victory.
Kansas downed Nebraska, 48 to 14, Saturday and last night whipped Iowa State, 42 to 29, to come within a half game of the Tigers.
The Jayhawks rushed ahead to a 20 to 14 lead at the intermission, then came back to make it a rout in the last period. Most of the Kansans were scoring from way out, but Miller was bagging his 8 buckets on drive-in shots.
Miller is now only two points behind Jimmy McNatt in the race for individual scoring honors in the conference. He has 102 points in 8 games and Oklahoma Jimmy has 104. McNatt has to play against the Cyclones Saturday night at Ames and Ralph has to face Missouri, before they hook up in the season's finale, March 8 at Norman. Don Ebling and Dick Harp, senior cagers, cashed in with three buckets each to sid the Jayhawks against Iowa State. The box score:

Phi Gam's Near Play-Off Berth With 40-20 Win
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Virtually assuring themselves of a playoff berth, Phi Gamma Delta performed like a championship outfit in downing a tough Sigma Nu team, 40 to 20 last night. The Phi Gam's moved into the front from the start, leading at halftime, 24 to 12. Healy and McSpadden were stars in their team's easy win. The Phi Gam's missed nine straight free throws.
Colburn, Triangle forward gathered 18 of his team's 19 points but one man wasn't enough as the Kappa Sig's trounced the Triangles 42 to 19. Cameron and Hensley paced the Kappa Sig attack, ringing up 15 and 14 points, respectively.
The Comets won their sixth contest in seven starts, defeating Alpha Chi Sigma, 40 to 10. Domingo, Comet scoring ace, led the field in point-making with seven baskets and five charity tosses.

Spring Drills For Gridmen Start Friday
Spring football aspirants watched a motion picture taken of last season's Kansas-Missouri football game in Fraser hall at 4:30 this afternoon. Other outstanding plays of the year were also shown to the assembled gridders. Following the pictures, Coach Gwinn Henry outlined his plans for spring practice.
If the weather permits suits will be issued Thursday afternoon and practice will begin at 4:30 p.m. Friday. For the first few days much time will be spent in limbering-up exercises and studying the fundamentals. With most of his men eleigible and in school, Coach Henry is expecting a large turn-out.
A new opponent has been added to the Kansas schedule for this season. The Jayhawkers will play Villanova at Philadelphia, and in the two other non-league games Drake and the Colorado Aggies come here to play the second games of two-year contracts.
Bill Bunsen, Steve Renko, and Jim Holloway, regulars on the '38 eleven aren't in school this semester, but will be back ready for service next September.
Henry predicted today, the three teams to beat this fall in the Big Six will be Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma. He refused to say anything about his own team's chances, preferring to wait until he has looked his men over next week before making any statements.
Many vacancies will have to be filled, as 13 men from last year's squad will be lost through graduation and the semester ruling. Two of the most promising freshmen coming up this fall will be Tom Robertson, center from Duncan, Okla., and Don Pololl from Topeka. Henry seemed enthusiastic about these men, and said that several others showed promise also.
Kappa's and Pi Phi's Play at 9 O'clock Tonight
Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi will meet in a basketball battle tonight at 9 p.m. The winner will play Corbin hall for championship of the organized houses Thursday. Second round matches of the ping pong and deck tennis tournament must be played off by Thursday, Feb. 29.

"SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON" Featuring Thomas Mitchell, Edna Best, Freddie Bartholomew, Terry Kilburn, Tim Holt, Baby Bobby Quillan . . Produced by Gene Towne and Graham Baker; Distributed by RKO Radio. 4
A man with an axe is being pulled down a steep slope by two men on horseback. One of the men is wielding a large wooden stick, while the other uses a long metal rod to strike him. The scene takes place in a dark forest with tall trees and a hollow cave.
BUTCHER'S TRIALS
A man is being pulled down a steep slope by a horse and cart, while another person is standing behind him holding a sword. In the background, a group of people are sitting on a wooden platform with a hammock and fishing nets. The scene is set in a forested area with tall trees.
A man is walking across a narrow street at night, carrying a heavy load on his back. He is surrounded by two women who are sitting on a bench. One woman has an umbrella, and the other has a hat. They appear to be waiting for someone or something.
In the background, there are buildings with large windows and balconies. A man is standing near the entrance of one of these buildings, looking out towards the street. There are trees and grass visible in the surroundings.
A man is sitting on a tree branch, playing with a ball. Another person is sitting on the ground next to him, holding a stick. They seem to be enjoying a leisurely activity together.
A turtle is being used to cut an egg in a farmyard. A woman is rolling it into a basket, and another woman is cutting it into a shell. In the background, there are several men working with animals.
While exploring the island, the family discover a grove of giant tamarind trees. Like a bolt out of the blue comes the inspiration: why not build a house in one of them? With a will and an enthusiasm that thrills the father's heart, the boys fall to and soon a big room is hewed out of the solid trunk of one of the tamarins... Life moves on for the castaways! Under the whip-lash of necessity, Elizabeth learns to cook, Jack and Fritz learn to care for the livestock, and even Ernest and the baby, Francis, do their share by making friends with the wild life that abounds in this island paradise.
A party is held in the dining room. A man stands behind a table, holding a glass of wine and addressing the guests. The guests are seated around the table, smiling and engaged in conversation. The setting includes wooden furniture and decorative items such as hanging lanterns and wall-mounted lamps.
CRAVATH
But civilized habits are not easy to forget even under primitive conditions, and one day the family, urged by a nostalgic impulse, decide to stage a formal dinner party. Dressed in evening clothes which they had salvaged from the wreck, they attempt to call forth the ghosts of the past, but the gayey of the occasion is dulled when Elizabeth bursts into tears. . . Despite Elizabeth's unhappiness, William still hopes that she will come to realize what benefits have accrued to all of them by their life on this island. But he learns how completely he has misjudged her feelings when he sees her light a signal fire in the hope of attracting a passing ship. (Continued.)
Billiard Team Competes Against Nation Tonight
A team, composed of Lloyd Greene, Earl Kinney, Jack Tompkins, Dick Burgess, and Al Bracke, will compete in the national telegraphic pocket billiard tournament tonight with all of the student unions which are members of the National Billiard association.

These telegraphic tournaments are played with each team at its respective college. There is a key not of player is expected to make. From then on he shoots as many as he is able to make, and when he misses his turn is relinquished to the next player on his team. Scores are sent by telegraph to every other competing school, thus establishing the victor.
There are to be two more matches, one is the three-cushion billiards, March 11, and the other is a straight rail tournament March 25. In these two matches, there are 24 key shots for each man on each

The second half of the program featured two scenes called, "In Vienna," which, except for the fine Strauss music, might just as well have been called "In Gay Paree," or "Sundown in Podunk." The "Vienna" scenes, however, were the most popular of the evening's program for they introduced more

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Oriental Sage Forswore Wit
Practice of American college youth in reiterating supposed wise sayings of Confucius, venerable Chinese philosopher, will very probably not result in any civil suits for plagiarism or infringement of copyright.
Believing that one should "sorrow not at being unknown, but seek to be worthy of note," Confucius browsed through dusty manuscripts, spent his time in the Oriental forbear of the modern library, and emerged at odd moments to assemble four of the "five classics" of China.
Thus Confucius won fame for his second-hand wisdom. Disciples gathered around, absorbed his time-honored mouthings, and in turn went forth to spread the doctrine over China's realm.
For Confucius himself was not an original writer. He wasn't even funny. He was rather a sober person who lived 2500 years ago (551-478 B.C.) and spent most of his time lecturing on ethics, education, and life. The latter field was his forte. When he said, "I have found none who love good as they love women," he doubtless speaking from exeperience: For the philosopher was married at nineteen, had one son and two daughters, and later left his wife to become a teacher.
The father of Confucius was a soldier, and at the same time a governor of a Chinese province. Perhaps it was from him that the child of destiny gained much of peculiar insight into the foibles of mankind.
The inserutable sage of Mongol land hied himself forth, like a true barnstorming lecturer, and preached the ethics of living far and wide. His basic tennet was the Golden Rule, almost exactly as the Bible has it. "Do not do unto others what thou wouldst not they should do unto you."
These were compiled from his writings, but the majority of these writings were merely a reprinting of what someone else had already said, much like the present college students' notebooks. Confucius was like many present day university professors: he did little original writing himself, and what little he did, failed to live.
So Confucius' maxims have lived—but not in the college mind. Students today have ridiculed the sayings of the wise Chinese philosopher and made sport of his hoary philosophy. But at the same time, their mid-English musings have succeeded in giving due note—even though in humorous fashion—to one of the earliest pioneers for the education of man.

There seems to be an increasing emphasis in colleges on the relations between men and women. A University of Chicago scientist has
developed a "matrimony meter" which measures the probability of a happy marriage. At Kentucky U., a dating bureau—named the "Hitching Post"-has been established. Almost every college and university, except Kansas, has had a Leap Year Dance.
Of course, this may not be a trend, but rather a coincidence. It wouldn't surprise us, however, if another generation had the opportunity to major in the department of matrimony.

Radio Makes Readers Princeton Survey Reveals
Students listen to radios in automobiles, Hill hang-outs, fraternity, sorority, boarding houses but the majority of that listening centers around Charlie McCarthy, Jack Benny, the Hit Parade, and popular dance bands.
Few, however, fail to realize the importance of radio and its potential substitution for the printed word. A forthcoming book, "Radio and the Printed Word", will discuss the subjects pro and con—down to the last notch.
This survey was financed by the Rockfeller Foundation and has been carried on for two years by the School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University.
In its analysis the study not only used previous surveys made by the Federal Communications Commission, the American Institute of Public Opinion and the broadcasting companies, but also carried on new investigations in many parts of the country. There were thousands of detailed interviews with radio listeners of every type.
The survey shows that there is no question as to the immense size of the radio audience—45,000,000 sets going on an average of five hours a day. In 20 years radio has nearly reached the goal toward which print has been working for 500 years: to extend its audience to include the whole population.
The majority listen to the comedian who confides in you about his mother-in-law, to the innumerable serials that dramatize family life. Political speeches, public issue forums, operas, are much overlooked in the rush for light entertainment.
It is easy to stretch the immensity of the radio spotbinders' audience. Dr. George Gallup's organization helped the survey by pointing out that even President Roosevelt doesn't reach as many over the air as one might expect. Only 25 percent of the families owning sets heard his recent Jackson Day address.
---
The study implies that a greater number of persons are reading books because of radio—contrary to popular belief. In one middle west town sales tripled in six days after a book was reviewed over the air waves.

YOU SAID IT Why Not a Quiz File?
To the Editor:
A bill which may sometime prove as controversial as the present No-Smoking bill came before the Men's Student Council last week. This act, also introduced by P.S.G.L., provides for the establishment of an official University quiz file.
The resolution passed almost un-noticed during the stormy evening which saw a battle rage over the dance passes and the enactment measure for the No-Smoking law. Nevertheless, C.H. Mullen, referred it to a committee for investigation. It may come up for discussion this year or next, depending probably upon whether P.S.G.L. feels it can stand any more adverse publicity before the spring election.
Mullen believes strongly in the proposal and recently pointed out that a nearby state university employs the system with success. According to the M.S. C. leader, his party started the movement as an aid to the independent students on the Hill, to put them on equal footing with fraternity and sorority students who find "unfair" advantage in the quiz files at the end of every semester.
Mullen said, "There are three channels open. Matters can be left as they are, with the independent student getting the raw deal; quiz files can be abolished by proper school authorities; or a central quiz file library can be established for all independent students, or for all University students, in the event that all quiz files are taken out of organized houses and added to the proposed centralized filing system." He suggested keeping the file in the reading room of the library, with each teacher sending copies of his tests after giving them.
If the issue ever reaches the floor of the council a real battle should result, with the Pachacamacs on one side and the P.S.G.L. on the other, with the possible

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
The Shin takes a spanking from the Topeka State Journal:
We quoted, lest Saturday, the estimable K.U. Daily Kansan to the effect that 22 out of 28 Sigma Chi pledges had failed to make their grades—"too many sweethearts of Sigma Chi."
Here is a correction from Fank S. Pinet, written from within the proud halls of the fraternity:
Evidently it isn't safe to quote the university daily, despite the fact it has school trained reporters within slingshot distance of the Sigma Chi house.
It has been my custom for some years to read your Saturday evening comment on the Willow page of The State Journal. I have enjoyed your page very much, often finding items of interest and at other times finding things that perhaps did not meet with my hearty approval. But never have I been so shocked and surprised as I was when I read the Willow page of last Saturday. I cannot conceive how an article of K.U. campus drivel would be allowed to appear on your page without at least some attempt at authentication. The article to which I refer is the one about "only 22 out of 28 Sigma Chi pledges making their grades . . . too many sweethearts of Sigma Chi."
It was not a surprise to find this article in the Daily Kansan, for this paper devotes many columns to just such campus drivel and derogative rumor about a number of fraternities and sororities. But to find such a gross mis-statement in The State Journal more than surprised me.

For a matter of information, if nothing else, I might state that on February 25th we are initiating 15 of our 25 pledges, and, that while this is not as good a percentage as we usually have, it does compare more than favorably with any other fraternity on the hill this semester.
I realize full well that the strong are always hounded by the under-dog but as a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity I feel it is my duty to correct mis-statements about the fraternity.
Therefore, you Phil Deit, Beta., Phi Gam, etc., and "barb" Daily Kansan reporters—we place the baby right back in your laps. And when you apply for jobs on The State Journal this summer don't neglect to look up along the west wall of the news room where a mural reads:
"O, true believers, if a wicked man come unto you with a tale inquire strictly into the truth thereof."
No doubt we should read it, too!
The Shin partially apologizes—but not in full. At the time the rumor was printed it was more or less true—as most gossip is. After a meeting of the Pan-heil the Sigma Chi's were able to initiate 13, not six or 15. That still leaves 12 with 'too many sweethearts of Sigma Chi—if a Sigma Chi can possibly have too many sweethearts.
the prettiest and most eligible pledge calss on the Hill you go and accuse us of being a brace of "underdogs" hounding the "strong" Sigma Chi You can't have*beauty and brains too.
We might also point out that 13 or even 15 out of 25 pledges being initiated falls far short of "comparing more than favorable" with the Delt and Beta percentages this semester—which leaves "Fank" S. Pinet in the position of needing a spanking for unethical "rushing" propaganda.
Shucks, Pinet, you've hurt our feelings. After our just telling the "printer's devil" we thought you had
So to the Willow page we apologize in full and can only hope that our item didn't get it in bad with the "strong" of Sigma Chi. Unfortunately we're just a bit irreverent about such things as fraternal "honor" it's honor being what it is. No one, fortunately, takes the Shin seriously except a few glamour boys and girls, and no one takes the glamour boys of Sigma Chi seriously except the glamour girls. Amen.

Robertson in Tears--event which invariably precedes the sound of his voice.
Editor Says New Sour Owl Will Be on Sale Thursday
Editor Jimmy Robertson stretched out his long legs, their bony structure masked in trousers which hadn't been pressed since the Sophomore Hop. His finger tips searched for bare cheek through a week's growth of whiskers. He finally said, "Well."
That didn't exactly answer the question but it was not surprising because Robertson almost never gives a satisfactory reply. After 10 minutes of silence so intense you could have heard a hint drop, the tall, dark Sour Owl chieftan opened his eyes, an $ ^{*} $
"Listen here, you," he exploded, speaking in his native tongue which is a Marshall county version of Kansas nasalized English.
We listened.
"If you will get away from here and let me dream," he continued, "Til you put it in the paper that the Sour Owl will be on sale Thursday on the campus at a new low price of 15 cents."
With this announcement, Robertson's eyes slid noiselessly shut and his face took on the expression of a love-sick college youth who is thinking about his Pi Phi sweet-heart. As peace once more glided into the room on wings of silence, Robertson sprang from his chair, stubbing his left big toe on a pair of size 14 shoes.
"Ouch," he shouted, grabbing the injured pedal extremity and dancing about like an apprentice balleina. Then as if there had been no interruption since his previous statement on the Sour Owl, he said.
"But don't print one word about 'Confessions of a Coed.' I don't wan't you even to mention it. If the Dean of Men hears about that my college days are over."
Robertson put every ounce of sincerity he possessed into those last words. Tears trickled off his chin, making splotches of mud as they lit on his bare feet. His arms hung limply at his sides, one hand unwittingly covering a hole in his trousers at the right knee.
He said nothing more. He said nothing about a feature on the origin of the proficiency exam, or about three pages of "Valentines Which Were Never Sent." He didn't mention the jokes, or gossip or cartoons which will be in the new Sour Owl. He didn't even repeat that the magazine will be out Thursday.
We left to call a psychiatrist.

These personal data sheets, which have proved successful in many colleges, are cards which contain a record of the student's past career, his activities, his grades, and a print of his senior application picture.
The Alumni Office desires 16 groups to order the sheets. The orders of the first group will be sent in March 9.
Karl Mattern, associate professor of drawing and painting, has accepted an invitation to speak before members of the Nebraska Art Institute March 17.
Seniors desiring to avail themselves of this service are requested to bring information and a picture of themselves to the Alumni Office, where sample data sheets will be given to them.
Karl Mattern to Speak
Find 'F'
Wanted: A young man who is willing to prove his ability before taking a position.
Marvin Goebel, head of the men's employment bureau, is saying that today, with accent on the "proof of ability."
Yesterday, Goebel had a call from a person who wanted to hire a student but insisted that the prospective employee show him what he can do first.
The student wishing the job must first solve the following equations in terms of "f":
f + s = e + r.
f/64.5 + s/45.3 = 180.
.254 × f = .10 × r + xe.
.746f = .893r + ey.
.1f = .007r + 1 - (x + y)e.
The position is still open.
Trade Concert With K.S.T.C.
An exchange concert has been arranged with the Kansas State Teacher's College of Emporia orchestra, it was announced today by Karl Kuersteiner, director of the University symphony orchestra.
The Emporia group, directed by Orien Daley, will play a concert in Hoch auditorium on Monday night, April 1. Mr. Daley, who until this year was the leader of the University of Wisconsin orchestra, has recently completed a course of study under Jean Sibelius, and it is supposed that he will include some of the Finnish composer's works on the program.
On April 8, the entire personnel of the University orchestra will present a concert in Emporia. A feature of the program will be the appearance of the N.Y.A. string quartet made up of Eugene Nininger, fa'42 and Lorraine McIntyre, fa'40, violins; Vincent Bleecker, fa'40, viola; and Sarai Mohler, fa'41.
The month of April will be one of the busiest in the history of the orchestra. In addition to the concert at Emporia, three other appearances are scheduled during the 30 day period.
W.S.G.A.Election Date Is Changed To March 14
Addition of West Hills A 1940 Census Possibility
The W.S.G.A. election will be held March 14, instead of March 7, as was previously announced, said Velma Wilson, c'40, president, today.
This change was made at the meeting last night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, because the constitution provides that an election cannot be held until two weeks after the nominating committee meets.
Whether West Hills and the residential district south of the University will become a part of the city of Lawrence and have the tax rate hiked 11 mills on the dollar, is now dependent on the results of the 1940 federal census. The matter has been under consideration of the city council for the past two years.
An election tea will be given Wednesday, March 13, in the Men's lounge at the Union.

tabled for the second time in two years. However, it is thought probable that if the federal census which is to be taken this year quotes the Lawrence population at 15,000 or over, the districts will be annexed into Lawrence territory.
Four ordinances, which provide for the annexation of West Hills along with University Place and University Heights, were defeated eight to three at the last meeting of the council and
The nominating committee will interview candidates today and tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
The Lawrence city council's chief opposition to the annexation of the districts adjacent to the University is the probability that the added population would send the city population, now quoted at 14,264 by the latest assessors census, over the 15,000
A discussion over the amendment passed by the Mens' Student Council on the joint K-Book bill, dealing with appropriations for its support, caused tabling of this bill, the only one scheduled for a vote. The amendment seeks to make the representative of the business office chairman of the committee, replacing the Y.M.C.A. secretary.

'Hot Feet, Cool Head Says Walters
"Possess 'hot' feet and a 'cool' head," was the advice given approximately 120 job seekers by Dr. J. E. Walters, personnel director of Purdue University, in his talk, "How To Find a Payroll and Get Your Name on It", in Fraser theater last night.
In a more serious vein, Doctor Walters outlined the methods of finding a job and getting it, explaining minutely the requisites for achieving success in that end. "First," he said, "find a payroll by research on as many companies as possible that can offer you the job you would like to have. Then apply—properly—in short, but to-the-point letters." Here Doctor Walters paused in his remarks to explain that all of us have our good character traits, and that in letters of application these should be strongly emphasized, and that no apologies need be submitted for our defects. "Lastly," he continued, "send as many applications as you can. Of a group of 50 you may only receive 25 replies, 10 of which might be encouraging and about 4 or 5 of which might request interviews with you; but if everyone received such a percentage I'd wager that about 80 percent of the graduating class here this spring would have jobs by next September."
The importance of being able to talk to employers "in their own language" was stressed by Doctor Walters, who offered the suggestion that all persons seeking employment should learn facts about the company with which they have an interview, and that they should be prepared to give employers the impression they are definitely in-

Sheerness Demanded In Hosiery
Co-eds, long accustomed to bare legs in freezing weather; no longer want warm hosiery; they demand sheerness.
Manufacturers have answered this demand by improving thread twists. While thread used to be twisted 10 or 12 times to an inch, modern methods call for two strong threads, each twisted 120 times to each inch and then retwisted together. The more the thread is twisted, the thinner it becomes. Thus new hose have that sheer look but are as strong as ever.
Colors Are Lighter
Hosiory colors are lighter this season. With the coming seasons navy and patriotic red, white and blue, hose should be light with golden or rosy undertone.
New shades are not pronounced, but harmonize with spring finery. Nude, beige, golden sun, pink tones, all with a filmy sheerness are in harmony with costume colors.
Hosiery concerns have heeded thedemond of women everywhere tomanufacture hose that will meetthe strain of everyday wear.Lastex has become one of the newestand most essential reinforcements for hose. Another new feature,recently placed on the market, is the snooded or gartered type whichfits over the knee, to be worn withor without supporters.
Different Leg Sizes
Another plea which the obliging manufacturers have answered is concerned with leg lengths in hose. For years tall women have had to wear hose apparently made for midgets while the short women felt lost in the too-long hose they were forced to buy. Today you buy accurately knit lengths, 21, 31, and 34 inch for the asking.
The hosiery business has been booming because women have discovered that any pair of legs look lovelier in sheer trim-fitting hose.

Confucius Say This Is No Joke
Send Them to the Post
By Bill Koester, c'41
Okay, you wise guys, here's your chance to put Confucius and his wit to work toward some constructive end. Not only that, but instead of achieving for your "pun-itive" efforts a sarcastic smirk, you can make them pay, in monetary returns.
If you'll send that "original" Confucius proverb you heard today to the Saturday Evening Post and it is published, in connection with the Post's current advertising scheme, you may win $100 as a first prize for your ingenuity. There are two second prizes of $50 each, four third prizes of $25 each, 10 fourth prizes of $10 each, 50 fifth prizes of $5 each, and 100 sixth prizes of $1 each. And if you aren't smart enough to win one of these you still get a chance to keep from flanking the "Confucius tests" through additional awards offered for acceptable sayings received early in the contest.
Say, kids, it's worth it—but, there are a few stipulations in the path to glory. First of all, you must obtain the contest leaflet which lists 14 facts about the Post's leadership on which "Chinese" provesbs could be based. Write the contest committee, in care of Professor Bellatty, of Boston University, 685 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Mass. After
reading the dope in the pamphlet they'll send you, write a proverb like this: "Horse win once . . . luck; horse win twice . . . coincidence; Horse win every time . . . BET ON HORSE!"—which is another way the Post has of admitting it has been first for years in dollar volume of advertising. Send in your proverb and if the group of eminent professors and publishers who are judging the contest use it—Confucius say you make money!
The contest, we are told, closes at midnight, April 5, so get busy, punsters, send in a proverb, and, if you win nothing else, be awarded a "Campus Confucius" diploma, which is one of the 500 Honorable Mention Awards.

Florida Breadfruit Shown at Syracuse
From Syracuse Orange:
Half-developed fruit from the special breadfruit trees of Key West, Fla., only variety in the United States which bears fruit, are on exhibit in the botany department of the College of Forestry.
The fruit was sent north to the College of Forestry by Prof. Hiram L. Henderson, associate professor of forest utilization, while traveling in the south on sabbatical leave.
Professor Henderson, who is studying forestry operation and wood-irrigating industries, went to Key West recently during a cold wave. He found that the breadfruit trees, because of the cold, had dropped leaves and green fruit.
Gathering two specimens of the rare fruit, he sent them to Dean Samuel N. Spring of the College of Forestry. The fruit weighs about six pounds.

Early Man Lived Here--like points, have been found further eastward, and it is to this latter group that Graffham's discoveries belong. It is believed that the Folsom-like points survived in the southeastern part of the United States longer than the true Folsom.
Early Man Lived Here Students Find Artifacts In River Near Ottawa
By Helen Ruth Focht, c'40 A University student has discovered artifacts, which may prove of deep significance to archaeological investigations.
Allan Graffham, c'43, found several Folsom-like points while doing paleontological research in a river bed near Ottawa. He brought the points to Dr. Loren Eiseley, assistant professor of sociology, who is doing research work in this area. The site was carefully investigated since a discovery of this sort so far east is important. Unfortunately, no trece of the original deposit from which the artifacts had washed was found.
"This material represents a very easterly extension of Folsom material." Doctor Eiseley said.
"The presence of artifacts has significance in that it indicates that early man did dwell here."
The Folsom point, an artifact peculiar to the New World, is concentrated on the high plains area of the near and Middlewest. Its variant forms, known as Folsom-
Since the true Folsom culture has been found in association with certain fossil animals, a number of more conservative paleontologists have asserted that some Pleistocene mammals survived up to a few centuries ago. They do not accept such an old entry of man into the New World as would be indicated by the belief that these mammals had perished prior to recent times.
"While it is perfectly possible that a few remnants of Pleisocene fauna survived into early recent time. The most powerful argument against a very late survival, is that nowhere in any archaeological horizon is there any evidence of a later culture having hunted such fossil animals," Doctor Eiseley said. So Kansas man may be more ancient than before thought.
Geological Survey Gives Kansas Oil Statistics
Opportunities of the legal profession will be the subject of two speeches by F J. Moreau dean, of the School of Law. The first will be presented over KFKU, at 2:30 Friday afternoon, and the second, March 8.
Kansas produced 57,944,300 barrels of crude oil in 1939, according to the Kansas Geological Survey office at the University of Kansas. This was about 800,000 barrels less than in 1938, but the decrease is attributed to the 15-day shut-down of the oil fields last August. The production 10 years ago, for 1929, was 42,813,000 barrels.
Moreau to Discuss Law Opportunities
More oil wells were producing in Kansas this last year than ever before. Producing wells now number 22,887. There were 1,022 new oil wells and 66 new gas wells drilled during the year.
New discoveries in Kansas ranked

high. The Kansas Geological Survey has records of 33 new fields and new horizons in 17 old fields discovered in 1939. A third of the new fields are in Barton county. Rice county contains five and Russell county four. The Arbuckle lime was the producing horizon in 16, or approximately half, of the new fields. The Silica field in western Rice county continued to be the largest field, however, from the standpoint of production.

Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Schiller Shore, unclassified, is hard at work perfecting a new device which he claims will increase the speed of dash men at track meets. The mad genius' newest contribution to the technological world will be called the "antagonizer" and will be put on the market shortly before the Kansas relays.
Shore became concerned over the fact that the world's record in the 100-yard dash has stood at 9.4 seconds so long and that track authorities have made statements saying they thought man has reached his physical limit in running the century.
"I decided," he explained, "that what these runners need to better the record is more power from within. The tracks, their shoes, and their running for mhane been improved, but the athletes still have the same physical equipment. Therefore, I am working on a device that will cause more adrenalin to flow in the blood stream, and give the runners increased energy."
The device consists of a row of mechanical turtles in front of the squatting sprinters that will alternately thumb their noses and vibrate their tongues in a vertical plane. By the time the athletes have been confronting with these tantalizing terrapins for a couple of minutes before the race, their glands will have secreted so much energy-producing adrenalin that nothing can stop them from world records.
He plans to have the row of turtles synchronized with the timer's gun and when it is fired the device will automatically raise six feet above the track and out of the way of the thundering dashers.
This should be second only to the two-legged machine they used to call Jesse Owens when it comes to producing new records.

On the Kappa squad, Jane Irwin's guarding, helped to hold down the Pi Phi score. Shirley Irwin and Bernice Jenkins were outstanding as forwards.

Loop Tankers Meet Saturday In Ames Pool
Ames, Iowa, Feb. 28—Five of the schools of the Big Six Conference have signified that they will enter teams in the Big Six meet at the varsity pool, Iowa State College Friday and Saturday.
This year's meet will have one of the fastest fields in its 12-year history. To date all but one record has been bettered in dual competition. Only the 200-yard breast stroke mark, held by George Haldeman of Iowa State, has not been bettered.
Iowa State is the defending champion. having won the meet for the past two years. All told the Cyclones have won the crown undisputedly six times and tied with Nebraska twice in the 11 previous meets.
Returning champions are Ralph Worden, Nebraska, diving; Eugene Armstrong, Iowa State, 150-yard back stroke; Roger Adams, Iowa State 50 and 100-yard free styles.
Already Adams has bettered the present conference marks in both 100 and 60-yard free styles. Against Texas A. & M. he swam the 60 in 29.5 and the 100 in 54.1, which bettered the present Big Six record by a tenth of a second.
The Iowa State relay teams have bettered the marks in both the 300-yard medley and the 400-yard free style. However, the Cyclones will have to swim at their best to beat the Kansas State 400-yard relay team. The Wildcats have an all-pohomore team that has bettered the present mark in almost every meet this year.

The possibility of six runners all breasting the tape at the same time in the 60-yard dash, is the nightmare accounting for sleepless nights for judges of the Big Six indoor track meet to be held in the Municipal auditorium at Kansas City, March 9.
Five of the six conference schools will have sprinters in the 60-yard dash capable of winning the event. Oklahoma can enter three crack dash men, Orville Matthews, George Koettel, and Fred Coogan.
A sentimental favorite in the short dash will be the Sooner football player, Matthews. A track sensation in high school, Orville is trying to
"Red" Littler, Nebraska sophomore sensation, will carry his team's hopes in the 60. Stars from the other schools are Darrell Mathes of Kansas, Louis Akers of Kansas State, and Sol Schumitzky of Missouri.
A Sentimental Favorite
Littler, however, will enter the race as the favorite, if there will be such a thing. National Junior A.A.U. 200-meter champion and runnerup in the 100-meters, the red headed Nebraska sophomore appears to have a great future ahead of him.
Mathes Has a Chance
Mathes, the Kansas speedster, Akers of Kansas State, and Littler have turned in the fastest times for the 60 this winter, each running the distance in 6.3 seconds.
Mathes and Akers ran this time in the Kansas-Kansas State dual meet with the Kansas sprinter only inches ahead of his opponent. Mathes ran the 100-yard dash in 9.8 seconds as a high school sprinter.
Coogan and Koettel were members of Oklahoma's formidable sprint relay teams last spring. Coogan placed in the 60 at the indoor meet and Koettel accounted for points in the outdoor 100-yard dash. Both are crack sprinters.

THE POWER OF THE EARTH
Bobby Quinn ... Produced by Gene Towne and
Capitulating to Elizabeth's wishes, even though his heart isn't in it, William gathers timers from the wrecked brig and proceeds to build a boat which is to take them away from the island. Day by day the boat begins to take shape, and day by day Elizabeth's spirits improve as hope of rescue springs in her heart. . . . Meanwhile, the boys, who have not been called upon to work upon the boat, decide to build a tree-top house in one of the giant tamarins. Adventure and enthusiasm grip them, and all on their own, with some of the timbers from the wreck which their father cannot use, they go to work.
THE GREAT ATHENA
CRAVAT 24
СНАЛИТЬ
When the tree-top house is completed it is a sight to behold. One side of it consists of the stern of "The Flying Swan." A winding stairway gives easy access to it, and the delighted boys, proud of their handiwork, put up a sign reading: "Falcon's Nest." Sadly, William notes that Elizabeth is still determined to return with her family to civilization. That night a terrific thunderstorm sweeps over the island. Gathering intensity, the storm reaches its climax with a barrage of deafening thunder. Suddenly a blinding flesh of lightning tears the night apart, and with a frightful crash the huge tamarind with their tree-top home is toppled to the ground. Fortunately no one is hurt. (Continued.)
Pi K.A.'s Hand Ninth Straight Loss to Acacia's
By Klint Kanaga, c'42
Pi Kappa Alpha gave the Acacia five its ninth straight loss of the season, defeating them by a score of 30 to 14 in last night's intramural game. Pojezny, 6-5 Pi K. A. center, grabbed nearly every rebound off both backboards. Pojezny, with teammates Hamilton and Engel, furnished most of the scoring punch for the victors. Joserand and Wood played well for the Acacia's.
Beta Theta Pi "O" team captured the championship of Division V with a 37 to 22 triumph over Sigma Chi "O". The Beta teams record is six wins and no losses. Decker and Pierce paced the Beta attack against the Sigma Chi outfit.
By virtue of a 32 to 13 victory over the Dunakin Club, the Dominoes I remained in third place in Division III. Bob Minor was the scoring star for the Dominoes, hitting seven field goals. Hendricks stood out for the Dunakin Club.

Jayhawkers Will Have 10-Man Squad at Meet
In the past the Big Six meets have been a two-way race between Nebraska and Iowa State. Only last year did these teams fail to finish first and second. Oklahoma was second last year and Nebraska third.
Coach Jim Raport, coach of the Kansas swimming team, announced this morning that he would take a 10-man squad to the Big Six swimming meet at Ames, Iowa, Friday.
This year Kansas State is rated as one of the favorites to end the Cyclone-Husker domination. The sophomoric team of the Wildcats has been defeated by only Iowa State in dual competition, and has defeated Colorado, Washington, Nebraska, and Kansas.
The preliminaries are scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Friday, with the finals at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Lloyd Koelling, star diver, is expected to be one of the leading contenders in his speciality, having won it in all of the Jayhawkers meets to date.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Support Administration For Better Government
Kansan readers are aware that the smoking law has resulted in an unfortunate mess from the start. Recent events have made it more of a mess. Questions of "students' rights" and of "democratic methods" have been raised. In the student mind, these questions have been confused with a natural antagonism toward any law which restricts former privileges.
The history of the bill—a stormy one, especially of late— runs something like this.
The proposition of a complete ban in all buildings was brought before the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. with the backing of Chancellor Malott. The idea at that time was supported and urged by the Daily Kansan. After many political doubts and fears, the student governing bodies passed a bill which was, in many respects, a compromise. That modified proposal also received the Daily Kansan's backing. The students began to get used to the various restrictions—grumbling, but in general, conforming.
Violations came, as everyone expected. Three students were reported and prosecuted before the student court, in accordance with the provisions of the bill. A sentence in the nature of a reprimand was given.
Meanwhile, a law student (who professed not to be opposed to the idea of restricting student smoking) decided to push the signing of a petition, which would bring the whole question up for a student vote. This was and is his admitted right under the constitution of the Associated Men of the University of Kansas.
Then something happened. We know that on Thursday he was sponsoring a petition. We know that he told the Kansan Friday that he was no longer pushing the petition. We know little else. There were a great many rumors, but only those two facts were known. The gossip about reasons why he stopped was merely hear-say.
If the law student stopped his campaign for signatures because of pressure—from whatever source—, a definite issue on "student rights" was drawn. That is obvious. In such a case, furthermore, the principle of the "rights of a student" merited a vigorous defense. For it is absurd to condone a situation in which the right of petition exists only so long as it is not exercised.
But no one has offered proof of any suppression whatsoever being involved. On the other hand, there is reason to believe either that the law student exaggerated his plight or that it was magnified by his fellow sympathizers.
The smoking question, moreover, is not a proper issue for the wide local, state and national publicity which would follow an extended controversy. Any real issue of student democracy, if one existed, would be clouded when connected with such a topic as a smoking law.
The Kansan deplores the whole incident—a symptom of distrust between the administration and the students. This distrust can be removed only when students stop spreading unfounded rumors about the administration and when the facts are made easily available, by that administration.
We now have a reasonable smoking law. A fair scale of penalties seems on the way. It will be better student government and a better University if students devote their efforts to cooperating in observing the present favorable restrictions.

Blitzkrieg on Frats Between Author, Dean
—By Betty West, c'42.
A prominent author, who dislikes the fraternity system, and the dean of a university, who is all for it, have succeeded in stirring up once again that pertinent question of whether fraternities and sororities are a boon or a curse.
In the March 2 issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Margaret Weymouth Jackson, herself a member of P贝 Beta Phi sorority, and formerly secretary to a college dean, takes up the cudgels against sorority life.
On the other side of the fence is Frederick H-Turner, dean of men at the University of Illinois, who defends the fraternity system.
In his defense of the fraternity system Dean Turner says, "Fraternity or sorority life is not essential to the student, but if there is no fraternity or sorority life there will be a substitute for it in some form, either dormitories, organized houses, or group systems.
Mrs. Jackson presents her plea in a short story entitled "Gooon Castle", a typical case history of a girl who, failing to make a sorority, decides to try dormitory life. She finds in this sort of life many of the things she would have missed had she been affiliated with a sorority.
--graduated from high school, and is added to regularly by Independence Day orators, so that by the time students get to college, they expect some form of student government. It is only natural. Haven't they so often been told that they are to be the leaders of our country?
"Fraternities and sororites are well established and are trying to do their share, not to make the institutions accept them, but to make them more acceptable to the institutions."

Blot on the 'Scutcheon?
Robert N. Palmer, graduate student last semester, has been acquitted of all charges of liquor possession, before Judge Hugh Means in district court. In the eyes of the law he is a free man, unfettered by any stigma attached to an offender against the written or traditional law.
To the Editor:
As a free man he should be permitted to re-enroll in the University. Since he returned from New Orleans after a between-semester vacation, he signified his intention and desire to continue his work in the University, but to date he has been barred from enrollment. Such a decision would appear to be biased arbitration on the part of the officials.
CLARECE ROBINSON
★ ★ ★
The most important thing to Palmer right now is his reacceptance by the public as a citizen, vested with all the rights thus pertaining to him. To bar him from the University would be to deny him the privileges of a free citizen, and to contribute to the permanent scorn with which he will be burdened wherever he goes. Such an act by the University or its officials would be a greater wrong against society than was the misdemeanor for which Palmer was exonerated.
Toss Them a Bone
To the Editor:
Strong belief throughout much of the campus is that University authorities intend to ignore a petition against the smoking bill, and will shortly announce an absolute ban on campus smoking.
The faculty must realize that such a move would render the death blow to student government, and thus would shatter the belief many students have in that form of expression.
For that belief first grew on the pap handed students by commencement speakers when they were

It is worth something when one asks for a job. And it used to provide dance passes. Why deny students this right to be duped? Toss a starving dog a bone!

Punk Pulp Story Started Major G.F. Eliot Writing
Major George Fielding Eliot, who will speak here tomorrow night on "How Safe We Are From Attack," began his literary career as a pulp magazine author, and his military career as an under-aged young American in the British Army in 1915.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1896, Eliot moved with his family to Australia at the age of eight, and was attending college in Melbourne when the World War broke out. He enlisted as a second lieutenant in the British army at 19. He fought for four months in the Dardanelles and then was moved to the Western Front, where he saw active service in the battles of Somme, Passchendaele, Aires, and Armentieres.
After the war, the United States government graciously forgave him for transgressing over into the British Army on the grounds that he was not of age, and made him a Reserve Officer at home. He advanced to a position in the Military Intelligence Service.
He first began to write in 1926 when he read a pulp magazine entitled "War Stories" and decided he could do better. He could. He sold

New Auto Finish Shown at Marvin
Students in the School of Engineering and Architecture saw demonstrations illustrating the values of a new finishing material, designed to eliminate initial wear from metal surfaces, during the lecture of M. W. Petrie, representative of Chrysler corporation, in Marvin hall auditorium last night.
The lecture on "Super Finish" was sponsored by the student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Included in the exhibits presented with the lecture were tests of the new process on metal and wood surfaces, black board work, and picture slides. Automobile dealers and garage men from Kansas City, Topeka, and Lawrence were invited to attend the lecture. Stuart Bunn, e'41, vice chairman of the A.S.M.E. was in charge of the program.
Student To Revise Map
The zoning map of Lawrence will be revised and brought up to date by Ralph Scamell, e'41, according to an announcement by Prof. G. M. Beal, professor of architecture and chairman of the city planning board. The project will be done this semester under CSEP supervision.

(Continued from page one) mark. This would put Lawrence into the class of first class Kansas cities and would necessitate some minor changes in the present form of mayor-council municipal government.
The primary changes that would be necessary should Lawrence move from the ranks of a second class municipality into the first class would be a reorganization of the wards and a decrease in the number on the city council. By state statutes, first class cities are to have one city councilman elected from each ward to serve for a period of two years while Lawrence now is provided with two councilmen from each ward. There would also be an increase in the authority of the mayor as the offices of city attorney, city clerk, city treasurer and police judge, now elected, would become appointive.
This opposition to annexing the districts on the basis that it will necessitate a reorganization, however, will be dropped if Lawrence citizens find that their city population runs over the 15,000 figure in the 1940 federal census. Should this happen the council will probably go ahead and pass the ordinations which will bring West Hills and the two other districts into the city limits before reorganizing the wards.
The industrial section of the 10-year census is now being taken and, with the residential section to follow, results should be ready for publication late in the summer.
The proposed annexation by Lawrence of the three outlying districts would mean a tax increase of $11 per thousand on all taxable property. Residents in the areas now paying the township rate of 25.87 mills would have to conform with the city's 37.46 mill rate.
The city limits of Lawrence now extend to West Campus road and the proposed West Hills annexation would affect two sororities and six fraternities. Those whose tax rates would be raised are Gama Phi Beta, Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Delta Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Delta Upsilon and Sigma Nu.

R.O.T.C. Camp List Announced by Baldwin
Col. Karl Baldwin announced today the names of the junior men in R. O.T.C. who will attend advance camp this summer.
The infantry unit will go to Ft. Leavenworth in early June for a period of six weeks while the coast artillery unit will leave about the middle of June for Ft. Sheridan, which is located on Lake Michigan 29 miles north of Chicago, for six weeks training. $ \textcircled{4} $
Have you ever given this question any serious thought? How many years did it take during the past 10 years that you can still remember as great?
All men in the advanced R.O.T.C. course are required to attend summer camp before their senior year. While at camp they are paid the salary of a private in the regular army, and receive clothes, food, medical attention, and recreation free of charge. In addition to that they are paid five cents a mile for transportation to and from camp.
The following men will attend camp this summer: At Ft. Leavenworth: John R. Baldwin, Byron W. Bales, Dane G. Bales, Ward E. Benkelman, Donald R. Boardman, Jerald H. Boynton, Bertram L. Brown, Hugh H. Bruner, Robert L. Burns, Eldreth R. Cady谨慎, John S. Jacobson, Joe N. Perry, Howard F. Harris, Lloyd C. Heiberg, Lester L. Henry, Christian N. Hoffman, Jr., Bruce B. Johnson, James B. Johnson.
I'll venture a guess you can count them, on the fingers of your two hands. What made them great? It certainly was not just the outstanding performance of any individual player, or the fact that your favorite star was properly cast. It was the story.

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER
I often feel that it is possible that the motion picture public is jeopardizing its own interests by demanding big star names in great stories.
Why should it be necessary to cast "Gone With the Wind" with the help of the producers. The public demanded it, and the producers did it, regardless of cost.
Let's look ahead a few years, and see to what extent we will have to pioneer, if the motion picture industry is to grow. We all know the industry has only scratched the surface from a wealth of valuable screen material of untold possibilities. Their libraries are packed with great stories and biographies. It is unfortunate that our great stars are not suited to portray many of the characters of great stories with the result that these stories remain dust covered on the library shelves.
You can do something about it, since the story is the thing. Since we are all pioneers, in a certain sense of the word, RKO Radio Pictures are to be congratulated as pioneers with the courage to produce the famous classic "Swiss Family Robinson." They believe, as you and I do, that the story is the thing, and have given you the greatest adventure story ever written.
If "Swiss Family Robinson" had to depend upon big star names in order to see the screen, it would have remained dust covered on the library shelves.
When you see "Swiss Family Robinson," you will realize that the producers are only scratching the surface, and what you will see on television and America in years to come depends on you, since the story is the thing.

County News Hounds Seek Improvement
A drive for more and better news to their county newspapers was begun yesterday at the first meeting of the semester for members of the Students Correspondence Bureau of the State-Wide Activities Commission.
I.S.A. Plans District Dance
District three and four of the Independent Student's Association will hold business meetings at 7 p.m. tomorrow to discuss plans for the next dance and to elect new officers. The two groups will meet at Watkins and Miller Halls respectively.
A $5 prize is being offered to the correspondent who has the best collection of news during March. After the announcement of contest arrangements, Roscoe Born, c'41, campus editor of the Kansan, talked on news tips on the Spring activities. Jim Surface, c'42, head of the Bureau, in charge of the meeting.
These two districts will have the first dance of the semester Saturday night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building from 9 to 12. As the other two sections of the L.S.A. are not yet completely organized, students from those two may also attend.
Plans are almost finished, said Mary Gene Hull, c'43, social chairman, for the I.S.A. varesity which will be held in the Union ballroom on March 8. Clyde Bysom's orchestra will play.
Wiley To Conduct Ottawa Band
Russell L. Wiley, director of the University Band, will be guest conductor of the Ottawa high school band at a concert given by that group Friday evening. Tonight, Professor Wiley will go to Ottawa to lead a practice session of the organization.

To those who fear the disadvantage of having accomplished little in four years of college, Dr. Walters offered a degree of solace. "No matter how you feel about the situation," he said, "you have done something which can help you get a job. Find that something, and put behind it all the emphasis you can when you apply. Use the 'yes,' but technique; for every trait you lack, point out one you can use to good advantage. This often works well in default of a good scholastic record."

400 Junior Prom Tickets Are Sold
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1940.
With one more day of exclusive student sales, Fred Littooy, l'42, student dance manager, said today he hoped students would take advantage of this opportunity to keep the Junior Prom exclusively a University party.
The limit of 650 was set to insure plenty of dancing space for Jimmy Dorsey fans. There were 600 couples at the opening Varsity dance this year. Litttooy explained, so when about 200 people crowd about the band stand, as they do at class parties, there will be plenty of space for dancers with the 650-couple limit.
At noon today only 250 tickets remained to be sold to reach the limit of 650 set by the dance committee.
Littooy expressed confidence all tickets would be sold soon after they go on sale to the general public, if not before.
Tickets are on sale at the business office, the Memorial Union lounge and Bell's Music Store, at the advance price of $2. The gate price will be $2.25.

Anyone who has not yet purchased tickets for the game is out of luck now. Earl Falkenstein of the athletic office, said that the last ticket for the game was sold at noon today.
The rally will last but 10 minutes, Waugh added, but he intends to make it the best the Hill has seen in short rallies
The last tickets to go were the 40 cent tickets for Hoch auditorium's second balcony. The main floor and first balcony tickets have been gone for some time. Indications are that the auditorium will be filled to it's 4700 capacity to see Missouri and Kansas play tomorrow night.

$2,500 Damage To Famous House
Lawrence old-timers recalled the past this morning when the Lawrence fire department was called to the Glidden Tourist home, 944 New Hampshire street, to extinguish a blaze that caused damages estimated at $2,500.
The blaze was attributed to a spark on the roof and was reported by a neighbor at 9:20. Damage to the frame building and furniture was covered by insurance.
The building is one of the oldest residences of Lawrence, being built in the '80's in what was then the swank residential district of the town. In 1895, the building became the Wilson house, a rooming and boarding house used exclusively for University students. It continued as the Wilson House until 1924 when it became the property of Mrs. Lucy K. Glidden, the present owner. Mrs. Glidden, her daughter, and a roomer were the only occupants of the house at the time of the fire

Major Eliot To Lecture Here Tonight
By Bob Trump, c'42
By Bob Trump, c 42 "How safe are we from enemy attacks?"
The answer to this and other questions equally pertinent to the present international situation, will be supplied at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium by Major George Fielding Eliot, eminent authority on military strategy.
Adviser to 'Life'
Employed as military adviser to Life and Look magazines, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the New York Herald Tribune, Major Eliot recently won acclaim for his study of the problems of American national defense entitled "The Ramparts We Watch." This report is at present being made into a movie by the March of Time.
When King George said farewell to Canada and the United States following his visit to America last summer, he declared that the younger nations of the western hemisphere must find a way to solve international problems. Born in Brooklyn
If this statement is true, Major Eliot should feel qualified to express his opinion on the present situation, for he embodies the spirit of the United States and Australia, two of the youngest and forward-looking nations of the day.
The military tactician was born in Brooklyn, but at an early age he moved to Australia with his family. During the World War, he fought overseas with the Australian forces. In 1922 he returned to the land of his birth and soon became prominent in the Military Intelli-

Athletic Use
An invention revolutionary in its method of applying the principle of wet heat therapy was demonstrated in Anatomy building yesterday by James L. Hight, gr., the inventor.
The device, Hight explained, meets the need of smaller high schools and colleges which cannot afford more expensive equipment. Because the initial expense is low, and operating expenses are limited only to the cost of electricity in operating the invention, the inventor, who will receive his master degree in anatomy this spring, believes the machine will find
immediate acceptance in athletic circles.
Although several patents are on file in the United States Patent Office for similar devices, the Hight invention claims attention because it makes use of rubber tubing which can be so set up that it can be applied to any part of the body, and because it is more compact, is adjustable, portable, and can be on-

Hair Styles Intrigue The Males
If co-eds want to use Leap Year to good advantage they should take stock of all their feminine wiles. A smart hair style can be good bait.
Hair stylists and hat designers have decided to co-operate this spring. The plan is to dress the hair to match the latest bonnets. Early indications are that spring hats will be small and will hug the shape of the head instead of sitting over one eyebrow as they did last spring.
V
Varied Coiffures
This means your hair will be dressed smoothly over the crown, with curled bangs, or high curls in front, and a soft neckline.
This skull cap coiffure will be sleek and hug the head with a circlet of baby curls from crown to neck. It will be easy to care for, adorable with the new half snoods and ideal for the skull or bonnets.
Bangs Revived
Because summer is approaching, you will find short loose curls at the nape of the neck or long hair twisted up in flat sleep rolls, fashionable.
Beguiling bangs peeping from out bonnets won our grandfathers' heartts years ago and the fact that bangs are being revived show that they are still attractive. Wind-blown bangs, bangs with waves, sculptured bangs, all will be good under the new hats.
Spring is in the air when you wear this blue and white checked wool coat, nipped in at the waist over a plain dark dress.
Spring—
(Continued from page one)
But it's sort of funny. Have been fearful all day lest someone "make a pass" at me, like Virginia said.
But no one has yet. Probably they just haven't got nerve to carry out their plans.
Tra-la, the flowers that bloom in the spring. If I could just think of something to rhyme with spring.
Dragged out some spring pants this morning—wanted to be in season. They smelled of moth balls for a while but that's sort of worm off now.
Guess I'd better write Mother today. Wonder if she'd get mad if I got a whiffle haircut again this March. Did that last March and she didn't care for it. Neither did the barber. Took him 50 minutes to cut my hair off short, and 15 more to make it stand up evenly. But it sure keeps the wind from blowing my hair around.
Heard this morning that there were nearly 2 million more hogs in the surrounding seven states than a year ago. The report said this was a 26 per cent increase. Gosh, hope Dad can buy me a car next year.
Say, bet that's why those women didn't bother me as Virginia said they planned. Nice of her to warn me anyway, but I can take care of myself.

One of the planned features will be a forum of campus leadership which was prepared by Hamilton Baker of Boston, Mass.,
the fraternity's worthy grand master who has been a guest of the fraternity the past few days.
With Leap Year day coming only once every four years many co-eeds are planning to use it to the best advantage by giving hour dances to which they will invite "those men." Sigma Nu fraternity members are going to make the co-eeds' work easier by inviting them to an hour dance tonight in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Dancing will begin at seven o'clock to music furnished by Clyde Bysom and his band.
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority's informal Leap Year party will be this evening at the chapter house. A buffet supper will be served at six o'clock after which there will be dancing to the music of Clyde Smith and his orchestra.

Phi Delt Mess Saturday Night
Oriental murals, Chinese lanterns and artificial cherry blossoms will set the stage for the annual Phi Delt Mess to be held Saturday night. This party, one of the most unusual of the year, is a custom so old that no one really knows how it started. Each year the chapter racks its brain for a new idea in parties. One year it was an orchid garden and each date was given a vase-containing an orchid.
A 1/2 pound boy was born yesterday morning to Mrs. Paul W. Miles, wife of Dr. Miles, assistant physician of the student health service. The baby has been named Paul Lawrence.
This year the celebration is again most unusual. Phi Delt actives and their dates will begin the jollities with an informal dance at the chapter house at two o'clock in the afternoon; then proceed to a formal dinner in the Union ballroom with dancing between courses to music furnished by Dale Brodie and his orchestra. Favors will be given to each of the women at the dinner which will be served to about 140 persons. The festivities will continue with a program dance which will last until midnight.
Son Born to Dr. and Mrs. Miles
Chaperons for the affair will be Mrs. J. H. Kreamer, Mrs. Charles D. Howe, Mrs. Jane Maclean, and Mrs. Ed. Charles.

Bankers Meet Here on June 12,13 and 14
Courses on progressive banking measures and discussions by outstanding bankers from various parts of the country are now included in the tentative plans for the first state-wide Kansas Bankers Clinic, which will be held at the University, June 12, 13, and 14. Prof.Joseph H.Taggart, chairman of the Lawrence committee, said today.
"The clinic represents an attempt on the part of the bankers of Kansas to solve the problems created by recent developments in banking. In course, the ultimate objectives of the clinic are to build even stronger banks and to improve and broaden the fields of service rendered by the banks to the general public." Taggart said.
The clinic is sponsored jointly by the Kansas Bankers Association and the University of Kansas, and several members of the staff of the School of Business will participate in the clinic's program and will be available for consultation during the meetings.
Local arrangements are being made by a committee representing Lawrence banks and the University.

Prof. Jones' Color Machine Shows Its Versatility
Diametrically opposite aspects of art—commercial and aesthetic—are brought together in a "color machine" invented by Prof. T. D. Jones of the department of design.
The machine was invented primarily to supplement classroom theory in color, but it also has been found that the instrument is capable of producing an infinite number of designs—and, incidentally, of creating moods by what Professor Jones terms its "poetry of motion."
For its effects, the machine uses the three primary colors—green blue and red—and a white light. The primary pigment colors of the artist's palette are green, blue, red, and yellow.
"Even shadows have color," Professor Jones said, "although the casual observer might think otherwise. A red barn may have a bluish-green shadow under certain light conditions, but it may not be apparent, because of the color of the earth.
"We see everything through the medium of light. It seems only reasonable that we should base our conception of color on light."
Professor Jones shows by use of the machine the correct lighting effects which accentuate color. Practical use of the machine could be made in determining the color of light best suited to set off any particular piece of merchandise in any shop window.
A bottle of catsup looks drab when lighted only by either the ordinary incandescent light or a red light, but takes on the qualities of richness and body when red and white lights are combined.
Professor Jones picked up as illustration a calendar, a scene of two frightened boys crouched behind a rock with an owl silhouetted against a full moon. Under ordinary lighting it appeared as some calendar illustrations do—flat and uninteresting. But by using teh 3-light combination, perspective was given the figures and the boys' cheeks became sparkling and alive.
Women should contrike to be seen under a violet light, Professor Jones said. Such a light is flattering to their eyes, their complexions, and hair.
Visitors to Jones' laboratory, or "color theater," are permitted to work the dials on the control panel which regulates the lighting of the "stage" of the machine. A myriad of designs results, and with music added, the visitor literally can paint a mood to suit his temperament by controlling the intensity, color, and position of the lights.
Bruce Latta and Thad McLaughlin of the ground-water division of the Kansas Geological Survey are in Chautauqua and Montgomery counties this week making a survey. This is an attempt to aid farmers in that area who lack sufficient water for livestock, according to the Survey office at the University.

Title At Stake Tomorrow
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Just so you will be able to tell who of the visitors are who at the championship basketball game tomorrow night, I am going to give you some little personalized thumbnail sketches of the Missouri Tigers. Here they are:
Capt. John Lobsiger—One of the greatest all around players the Big Six has ever developed, this blond boy who seems to glide over the floor at three-quarter speed directs the Tigers on both offense and defense. He is a 6 foot $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches tall and rather lean. Lobsiger does most of the ball handling and passing through the opponents defense. Doesn't shoot much unless team is in a pinch.
Bill Harvey—An impish looking kid with a crew haircut and one of the most likable on the squad. Harvey is a quick passer and a fine shot on jump turns with both hands. He is six feet tall, but hardly looks it. One of the starting forwards.
Clay Cooper—This is the boy Wordsworth had in mind when he wrote "Oh, earthbound mortal. . ." Cooper spends almost as much time floundering on the floor as he does standing up. However, he scores considerably while on his feet. When he is hitting his jump turn shots Missouri is hard to beat. The shot is unguardable, but hard to follow.
Blaine Currence—The big boy on rebounds and under basket offensive maneuvers. Currence is 6 foot 5, but is so husky he looks more like 6-3. The average fan doesn't appreciate the value of Currence to the Tigers. He is seldom in on spectacular plays, but is a steady and dependable rebounder and defensive man.
Arch Watson—Reserve forward and one of the ruggedest men on the squad. Watson is 6 foot 1 and a speedster at romping up and down the planks. He is a fine under-the-hoop shooter.
Martin Nash—The guard that came through this year in a big way to give Coach George Edwards one of the best set of sentinels in the loop. He's so barrelchested he looks like Quasimodo walking backward. His crooked left arm doesn't affect his shooting ability in the least.
Herb Gregg—One of the favorites of the fans. He is a little short boy who uses a windmill attack on defense. When Gregg gets in the ball game he puts on a one man show of how to use up energy.
Haskell Tison—The string bean pivot man, 6 feet $1\frac{2}{3}$ inches tall. He lopes over the floor, arms gangling with abandon, and can really dunk the ball in when around the basket.

Missouri Can Clinch Flag With Victory
In his first meet in a Nebraska uniform, Littler ran the quarter in 50.1 for a new Nebraska track record. In the only other dual meet he has competed in, "Red" won in 50.3. Soph Phenom at Norman
The 1939-40 Big Six conference cage title will be at stake tomorrow night when the University of Missouri meets the Jayhawkers at 7:30 in Hoch auditorium before a full house.
A victory for the pace-setting Tigers can clinch a clear claim to the championship while a triumph for the Jayhawkers would force the final decision to wait until March 9, when they will travel to Oklahoma in the season's finale.
However the Nebraska speedster may run into some stiff competition at the conference meet. Oklahoma will put a sophomore ace of its own up against Littler. He is Bill Lyda,
Another Quarter-Miler Will Star for Nebraska
Again reverting to the "if" phrase, should the Bengals annex it would give them a final standing of nine victories against the one-point defeat to Oklahoma, while a setback would leave them an eight-and-two rating.
(This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the prospects in the various events at the Big Six indoor track meet in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium, Saturday night, March 2. Tomorrow: the half mile run.)
Coach Ed Weir's sophomore sensation answers to the name of "Red" Littler. A transfer from Compton, Calif., Junior College, Littler made some remarkable times in the 440 on the Coast.
Meanwhile, Kansas will enter the crucial game with a seven-and-one ratio, the lone defeat coming at the hands of the Tigers in Columbia. Oklahoma can do nothing about the title situation except to attempt to defend its third place post against Iowa State Saturday and hope for a Kansas victory over Missouri. Should this occur, and the Sooners then down Kansas at Norman a three-way title would result between Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Coach George Edwards will bring his usual 10-man traveling squad of Clay Cooper, Bill Harvey, Blaine Currence, John Lobsiger, and Martin Nash, the starters, and Haskell Tison, Herb Gregg, Loren Mills, Keith Bangert, and Arch Watson.
BEAT MISSOURI!!
Nebraska's Cornhuskers lost a great quarter-miler when Bob Simmons graduated last spring, but the Huskers will have a sophomore almost as good in the Big Six indoor track meet in the Municipal Auditorium at Kansas City, March 9.
Lyda may run in the half-mile also, but if he decides to run in the 440 alone, he should give Littler a real race. Ray Gahan of Oklahoma, who was third in the 440 at the indoor meet last year, probably will confine his effort to the half-mile this year.
Still another Sooner, Fred Coogan, was second to Simmons in the 440 at the outdoor meet last spring. Coogan and Lyda give the Oklahoma team considerable strength in the quarter-mile.
Iowa State hopes to pick up some points in the 440 through the efforts of Doug Graves, who won the quarter in the Iowa State-Missouri dual meet with a time of 52.6.
Cyclone Hope in Graves
Lone quarter-mile hope for Missouri is Wilbert Berg, a veteran. Berg failed to place at the indoor meet last winter, but got fifth in the 440 at the conference outdoor meet.
In addition to Littler, Nebraska boasts a second sophomore quarter-miler of ability, Warren Radtke. The latter ran second to Littler in the dual meet with Kansas State.
Kansas---split into two heats of 220-yards. The usual 440-yard free style was After Dan LaShelle of the varsity had won the first race in 2:52, Bill Mackie of the freshman squad took the second race by nearly a full length in the faster time of 2:43.3 Mackie shows promise of developing into a fast stroker for the varsity next season.

Varsity Tankmen Drub Frosh,47-21 In Annual Dual
By Charles Skidmore
The varsity swimming team had little trouble disposing of the freshmen in their annual dual meet yesterday afternoon in the indoor pool at Robinson gym. The score was 47 to 21. The frosh took only one first in the events which were witnessed for the most part by one spectator, the Kansan reporter.
50-yard dash—Won by Wilson, varsity; second Kenneth Rosebush, varsity; third, Bliss, freshmen. Time, 25.6.
The time for nearly all the race was slow because of lack of competition. In the opening 30-yard medley relay the varsity won by more than two lengths of the pool in the slow time of 3:20. The lead became so pronounced that two of the varsity swimmers stopped to tred water and hurl jibes back at the trailing freshies.
In the always fast 50-yard dash Frank Wilson of the varsity won by half a length in 25.6.
220-yard dash (first heat)—Won by LaShelle, varsity; second, Gene Feaster, varsity; third, Earl Musser, freshmen. Time, 2:52.
Lloyd Koelling, undefeated this year in the dives, took first place for the varsity in this contest with Delbert Small and Bill Thayer of the frosh, second and third. Joe Morton, plump varsity free style swimmer, entered this and provided the comedy of the afternoon, ending in a prone position on the surface of the water at the finish of most of his dives. The summary:
100-yard dash—Won by Morton,

300-yard medley relay—Won by the varsity (Cooper, Nelson, and Morton); second, Freshmen (Rodney Smith, Mackie, and Charles Bliss). Time. 3:20.

CRAVATH
When the storm on the island has subsided the castaway family, taking account of themselves, are awed to discover that the tamarind bearing their tree-top house has fallen across the half finished boat wrecking it completely. "God's lightning has destroyed it!" cries William exultantly, and Elizabeth, staring in wonder, sees in this adventure a symbol of their destiny. Reconciled now to their fate, the family take up their task of living with renewed determination and courage. One day an English ship, blown off her course, by a storm, makes her appearance off shore.
A boy runs for cover as a group of men attack the building. A ship sails in the background.
A boy runs away from the attackers as they storm into the house. Two men watch the scene from a balcony.
THE WEEKLY PRESS.
The ship's arrival creates a furore. The family's joy finally convinces William that they should return to England. But he decides to remain alone. Yet, when leave-taking time comes, Elizabeth suddenly realizes that she loves her husband too much to leave him. While it is right that their growing sons should return, her place is by William's side, and as the boys sail away, vowing to return soon, William, Elizabeth, Ernest, and the baby, Francis, from the shore, happily wave them Godspeed.

Springing one of the season's upsets, Phi Delta Theta knocked off Sigma Alpha Epsilon, co-leader of Division I, by an impressive score of 28 to 17 in last night's most exciting intramural game.
Stars of the Phi Delt victory were Bill 'McKinley and "Baby" Newcomer. McKinley paced the scorers with 14 points, while Newcomer bottled up Hall, brilliant Sig Alph guard, during the second half. Newcomer's stopping Hall proved to be the deciding factor of the contest.

Poll Has No Influence
While politicians in general hold the belief that winning a straw poll enhances the party's popularity and adds to the chances of winning in the actual election, a history of the more famous straw polls shows that the effect is negligible and of minor importance in influencing votes.
The Literary Digest poll of 1936 failed to influence any votes. It indicated a 54 per cent victory for Landon while the election finally showed a 60 per cent victory for Roosevelt. Before the election the Literary Digest poll was respected. Any influence of its findings would have been noted in the actual election.
The accuracy of the Gallup polls proves that they influence the actual vote but little. Gallup polls seldom miss by more than 4 per cent. Were the publication of the poll's findings to have any effect upon the election, then the discrepancy would be much greater. In the Dewey-Lehmann gubernatorial race the Gallup poll called the turn within less than 1 per cent. Certainly if the poll's political influence were ever to appear felt, it would have shown up here.
In the same year, the then obscure American Institute of Public Opinion. George Horace Gallup's brain child, found a 53 per cent victory for Roosevelt. Voters were not influenced by this poll because it had not yet reached national fame.
The straw vote's place in the political world is not determined by its ability to influence those who want to be on the winning side. So far, its influence in this field has been small. The poll's immortal position rests on its solution of the problem brought up by James Bryce when he said, "The obvious weakness of a government is the difficulty of ascertaining it."

Way Is Open For Labor Peace
The recent proposal by John L. Lewis that the CIO and the AFL re-unite is fundamentally a clever bit of diplomacy on Lewis' part.
Lewis made a similar gesture last spring, when his plan for labor unity included the Railroad Brotherhoods. The suggestion failed, at the CIO leader's later behest, because he could see no compromise with the railroad groups.
Just as he did on that occasion, Mr. Lewis is now also attempting to stall for time in a critical situation, hoping something will develop. It may be that he wishes to force William Green, AFL leader, to reveal his position regarding the coming presidential election.
Lewis left himself out on a limb politically when he announced recently that his United Mine Workers Union would withhold it support of any candidate or party until it could be certain of fair political treatment. If Green and the AFL ever accept the Lewis merger suggestions, then the squat-craft union head need no longer worry about being left out in November. The combined forces of the two labor organizations will command a great deal more respect than ever before.
But beyond this, the two can, if merged, succeed in gaining for labor the position for which it has so long struggled, and which it has never attained because of discord within its own ranks.
If Mr. Lewis is sincere in his proposal for labor organization unity, he can precipitate the most significant step toward labor harmony that has been achieved since the craft unions broke away from the trades groups.
County. student should be present—Charles Wright, Jr., chairman.

Not Again Till 1944---- Five Planets Say Its' Woman-Proposal Day
By Leilyn Young, c'40
The fate of men may be decided today!
Today—February 29, Leap Day—may influence the destiny of males for two reasons: (1) women may propose marriage to men today and (2) five planets plainly will be visible in the evening sky.
"A planet, astrologically, is a star, as influencing the fate of man," Webster says.
Tonight five bright planets—Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Mars—will shine. Their light will cast a glow five time dangerous to the fortune of men.
The five will form in practically a straight line with its origin, Mercury, slightly above the west horizon point and ascending, as defined by the planets in the order enumerated, into the sky at a small angle toward the south. The planets will outshine any star in the western sky, N. Wyman Storer, associate professor of astronomy, explains.
Because the dim planet Uranus will be on a continuation of the line just above Mars, men with exceptionally sharp eyes will risk a six-fold danger.
The fate of men soon will not be endangered again by dual forces, since this particular phenomenon of the planets will not happen again on Leap Day for many years.
Not until February 29,1944, will Leap Year again occur.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
This feud the Shinsters are carrying on with the Sigma Chi's over scholarship is the best recent example of a pot calling a kettle black.
Dear Sir; I am enclosing the picture of a very famous organization on this Hill—the Men's Student Council. Yours, Jerry Riseley.
★
(Mr. Riseley sends a picture clipped from a "Private Lives" cartoon in the Kansas City Star. It is a complicated looking apparatus which bears the following explanation: "This noble machine is the work of humorist Gelett Burgess, made for the pure pleasure of being impractical. Wheel's turn, pulleys pull, pistons drive—and nothing whatever is accomplished.")
★
In the reports that Kansas City's machine may support the clean-up candidate for mayor, an ancient political procedure is about to be re-enacted: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Spurred on by publicity about the University student who says he was refused admittance after charges of liquor possession were dismissed, the Oklahoma Daily sent a reporter to interview a Norman bootleger. The reporter came back with the opinion that bootlegging was one of the most unprofitable businesses on the O.U. campus.

Discuss Bidding In Bridge Lesson
The fundamentals of the Culbertson bidding system was the subject of the second bridge lesson by Mrs. Ivan Rowe yesterday afternoon in Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Different phases of the subject which were discussed were honor tricks, biddable suits, and opening suit bids of one.
The series of lessons, which is being offered without charge to the students, will be continued through the next two weeks. The lessons are given Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4:30 in the Memorial Union building. Friday's lesson will be on the subject of assisting the partner.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
To solve transportation problems arising from the fact that the annual law party is being held at the Country Club Friday night some of the lawyers have been dickering for a Rapid Transit bus at 30 cents a couple.
Henshall says it ain't the dash going over, it's the drag coming back.
Charlie Henshall, never one to condone half-way measures, is said to be making arrangements for a Grey-hound sleeper for the half-mile trip. Henshall says it ain't the dash going.
Congratulations to he who instigated the checking of activity books at the mid-week. After the influx of high school kids last week something had to be dee. It was getting so you couldn't tell whether the Beta pledge class got out for a night or not.
It happens to somebody every year. "Doc" Lee from the Delt house made a date with Kappa Dollie Newlon for Feb. 31.
Here's a little gem that came out of a debate tour. Emmett Park was speaking in Russell last week and, knowing that Bunky Banker lives there, mentioned that he knew a good story about Banker. He said, he wouldn't tell it since Bunky's mother might be in the audience.
The payoff came two days later when Banker got a letter from his mother complaining that she didn't know just what he had been up to, but she knew that he had been disobeying her.
Howard Harris at the Kappa Sig house looked pretty silly last Tuesday when he called Mary Francis Nelson and thought she said that he had been out with a guy named Slet from San Francisco. Moral: Read your University Daily Kansan and stay off of the receiving end of these gags.

(Continued from page one) erated by the injured person himself Like Diathermy
The graduate student's work may replace the use, especially in smaller institutions, of diathermy equipment, which is very expensive, requires expert knowledge and skill in handling, and often may cause dangerous burns to the injured part. Diathermy equipment is well known for its use in administering heat to injured tissue.
The Hight machine prevents the danger of burning because it uses both a rheostat for control of the electric motor, and a thermostat for control of the heat generated. The thermostat is applied as part of the injury wrapping, and receives the same temperature as does the injured part itself. When the machine has been turned off, the rubber tubing and towel-like wrappings will hold heat for an hour or more.
Any Part of Body
The rubber tubings which carry the heated water in the Hight device are affixed together by means of brass fittings, which may be removed and used to adjust the size of the applicator for any size injury or any portion of the human body.
Another important factor of the adjustable tubing. Hight explained to
his hearers, is that because of its peculiar construction, it can be valuably used for either area massage or for focal (point) massage. He illustrated this by wrapping several sections of the tubing about his hand, and applying pressure in two different ways to produce the two different types of massage.
No Burning
In his demonstration, Hight used Ray Harris, ed 40, member of the University track team, as a subject. Commented Harris, "The invention works just like diathermy, but is much more effective, and there is no danger of burning." Both Harris and Hight mentioned other University athletes who have had treatment by Hight, with the Injury Device. In each case, the machine was immensely successful, explained its inventor.
The machine Hight used in his demonstration, and which he is patienting, is the seventh he has built. He started out some time ago, experimenting with different processes and materials, and soon hit upon the idea of using adjustable tubing and brass fittings for the application of heated water. His present machine allows the use of cold water if so desired.
Each machine Hight built was an improvement on the one before, until he now believes he has reached the final stage. His machine is portable, being compactly built into a case
closely resembling an overnight case. All tubing, wrappings, and other equipment can easily be packed into the case, which has an inner lid with an indicator light, and carried from place to place. Its portability will place it in demand for road trips by athletic teams.
Henry Helps
dred dollars, and may be even more expensive, depending upon the equipment.
At the present rate, its inventor can produce the machines at a rate of six a day, building them himself.
Hight said he had received much help in his work from interested friends, as well as support and direction from Gwinn Henry, athletic director, and the other coaches. Hight hopes to demonstrate his invention before the Big Six coaches at the Kansas Relays, April 20.
Hight continued to stress the value of his invention to the small institution. "Too often," he maintained, "the smaller school can not afford more expensive equipment, even though it may need it. Thus it runs the danger of failing to treat an injury which may become very serious. I hope my invention can end all this."
Delta Sigma—
Although Hight believes his device will sell easily, he is not primarily interested in realizing profit from it, he said. The machine can be retailed, he pointed out, for from 25 to 50 dollars. This is a great reduction from the cost of diathermy equipment, which the Hight machine hopes to replace. Diathermy costs several hum-

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1940.
Scholarship Applications Due Friday
Graduate students also are eligible for the University scholarships. The scholarships carry an award of $250 for the academic year. The recipient is expected to give full time to graduate study and re- search.
Applications for graduate fellowships and scholarships, carrying stipends from $100 to $600, are due tomorrow, E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School, said today.
Additional scholarships and fellowships not directly awarded by the Graduate school include Kansas industrial research fellowships, which provide stipends of about $60 a month for half-time services to graduate students who qualify for the investigation of approved projects concerned with industrial development in the state.
The Graduate School offers several fellowships, open to graduate students who have completed at least one year of study in a recognized graduate school, of $400 each for the academic year, Dean Stouffer said.
Two fellowships and two scholarships also are open to graduate students. These include the $500 Edwin Emery Slosson scholarship in science; the $400 Selden Lincoln Whitcomb fellowship in comparative literature; the George A. Spang memorial fellowship of $600; and the $100 Ida M. Hyde scholarship.
All fellowships and scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis, Dean Stouffer said. Announcement of awards will be made April 1.

Now look here, Son, you had a lousey
seat didn't you? Did you sit behind
the north or south post?
CUB: No Sir . . . I had a swell seat.
Mr. Dixon gave me a ticket on the first row.
CHRIST: (ruffled) Let's look at this thing from another angle. Who took the "stinking honors"? Who was especially bad?
CUB: I don't get you, sir. I thought they were all swell. Alma Louise Gray and Bud Gould were awfully good. And Ethel Jane Myers and Bcrt McGinnis supported the leads ably (he swells his tiny chest at this professional sounding judgement). I got a heck of a boot out of the second scene in the second act when Bud Gould (he played Ned) got into Roberta Newell's (Aunt Min) bed room by mistake. Oh sir, I'm sorry. I guess I failed you . . . (he breaks into tears).
CHRIS: There, there, lad, pull yourself together. Perhaps we may salvage this review yet. Wasn't there anything that irritated you?
CUB: (getting control of himself) Well, the curtain went up 15 minutes late and it took them an awful long time between scenes, but I thought that was because the sets were complicated and the stage hands weren't used to Fraser theater. Then there was Hallie Harris who kept getting

CHRIS: (enthusiastically) Now you've got it, son. Only stop explaining the errors. To be a good critic you must be brutal. Concentrate. How about the play itself? It wasn't very well written was it?
CUB: (on the verge of tears again)
Gee Wihz, sir. I thought it was awfully good. Everybody laughed. I even stomped my feet a couple of times.
CHRIS: Well, the direction must

have been inadequate. Where did the director fail?
CHRIS: (exploding) That's enough! You missed the point altogether. You'll never be a dramatic critic until you learn to hate everything. You've got to give 'em hell, or they don't think you know what you're talking about. Why you didn't even notice whether or not someone's shoes were shined when they shouldn't
have been! You go home now and let me think of some smart things to say so the actors will be afraid to meet their friends tomorrow.
The youngster departs sadly, as The Paragon make a mental note to speak to the Cub's Reporting I professor about the matter. He puts on his tight fitted shoes, arranges tacks in the chair, sits down and after taking a healthy bite out of an extra sour lemon, begins to write.
