FACTS Calls For Debate On Issues
A challenge was issued today by FACTS political party to the Pachacamac political party to hold an open debate "at any time, in any place accessible to students" on the issues of student government and KU politics.
The letter was sent to Donald Dirks, president of FACTS, addressed to William Howell, president of Pachacamac. It suggested holding the debate within this week at Fraser theater, or at North College hall as the two parties did previous to the freshman elections last fall.
Dirks' letter said FACTS believe "that apathy toward student government is to be avoided. Small participation in government is usually a victory for reaction; large intelligent participation is a victory for progress."
2 Bridge Teams Rated 10th,12th
Two bridge teams sponsored by Student Union Activities have completed competition in the semi-fina round of the National Intercollegiate Bridge tournament and have been rated as the number 10 and 11 teams in district 7.
Paul Pyatte, college sophomore, and Howard Dunnington, college senior, were the number 10 team and Clay Roberts, business junior and John McBride, college senior, were the number 12 team.
The semi-final rounds were entered by 1,344 students from 168 colleges in 43 states. The tournament was conducted by mail. Eighteen prepared hands, each with a maximum par score, were played in a competition. Plays were sent to Geoffrey Mott-Smith, bridge expert, who rated the teams on the basis of par scores won.
The top two teams in each district will compete in the national finals. Washburn University in Topeka and Rocky Institute in Houston, Texas were the winners in this district.

Women's division winners are Natalie Goutbroad, graduate student, first place; June Porter, education junior, second place, and Betty Dines, education junior, third place.
Weather Affects Carillon's Tone
The recent rain and strong wind has caused a variance in the tone of the carillon bells.
Moisture in the air, caused by rain, snow or fog conducts the sound further and more clearly. Ronald Barnes, carillonneur, said. Wind direction causes the sound to rise, fall and at times to blow completely away.
The bells must be adjusted before each playing because of the changes in the atmospheric conditions. The day the strong winds caused the framework of the new Science building to collapse, the bells needed readjustment twice during one recital.
Workers Remove Steel From Building
Removal of the steel which fell March 12 on the new science building was begun Monday. Basil A. Green, contractor for the job, said the job would probably be completed today. The work had been held up by bad weather.

The regular services for the blind of the public welfare program of Kansas serves three purposes, John D. Bradley, assistant professor of social work, said Sunday on the Sociology on the Air broadcast on station KLWN.
"These purposes are restoration, prevention, and rehabilitation," he said. Under the program blind persons are offered medical care, consultation service, guidance counseling, training in occupational schools, and teaching of the Braille system, he added.
Professor Bradley served three years as district representative for the state department of public welfare of Indiana during which he was on loan to the dePauw university where he taught courses in social work for a year.
"In Kansas every effort is made to keep children in their own homes," he said in explaining the child welfare program.

A library is also maintained for the blind by the department of social welfare, he explained, and the department also has a system by which it learns of other blind persons needing assistance.
Professor Bradley discussed other programs under the public welfare program in Kansas, supported by federal, state, and county funds.

People are very reluctant to enter the hearse, if offered a ride. There was the time several girls got in for a ride up the Hill, one of the fellows laid down on the bed and pulled a blanket over himself.

Then there was the time when the three fellows took off for parts unknown. Since they couldn't stand hotels or motels, they drew the velvet curtains and went to sleep. The next morning when they awoke three or four persons were trying to peer in the windows.

Once when Lyle was on his way home, a friendly gas attendant asked numerous questions while washing the windows about the hearse with the drawn curtains. Lyle remarked, "Yes. I do have a full load," meaning that he was on his way home with most of his belongings. Somehow, the windows never got washed.
Three Men Defy Convention To Enjoy Life In Old Hearse
Ever have a yearning to own a hearse? Three KU students had that hankering and now are the spectacular owners of a '36 Packard hearse.
The three fellows from the Rock Chalk co-op brought the monstrosity, complete with maroon plush curtains, flower racks and casket rollers. In fact, the car had everything but a casket.
Richard Brackmann, engineering junior; Lyle Wolfrom, fine arts senior, and Don Albert, graduate student, were wandering around during the Christmas holidays, when they happened to run across an old "one-hearse" town with an extra hearse.
The vehicle was a fine-running car with only 29,000 miles. It had a few dents in the back caused by a falling casket.
home and we're just taking it back," one of the fellows said.
The girls were eager to get to their destination, when the blanket was partially pulled back to show grease stained fingers.
It was rather late. Flashy Cadillacs and Buicks were everywhere. When the hearse arrived, Ted got out, opened the door and out fled seven live people for the concert.
Another gleeful experience occurred when a group went to the Philharmonic concert in Kansas City, Mo. Ted, as chaufeur, put on a long navy overcoat and a black derby and drove in front of the Music hall.
