Candidates for office in the Associated Women Students pass through a rigorous elimination program designed to permit nomination of the most qualified women available for office.
Election of AWS officers and senate members for 1952-53 will be held on Wednesday. All women students may vote on presentation of their ID cards at the polls in Fraser hall and Strong rotunda. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
AWSNomineesNamed By Elimination Exams
Of the 39 women who filed petitions in the present elections, only 16 had their names put on the final slate.
The workshop consists of three different lectures by qualified speakers on different phases of leadership.
Miss Carmine Wolf, Topeca civic leader; Mrs. Harold Harvey, instructor of speech and drama at Lawrence Memorial High school and former campus leader, and Harry Adamson, director of religious education in Hutchinson, spoke at the 1952 workshop earlier this month.
Interested women file petitions for office during the workshop. Each petition on the petition her qualifications and on a statement why she wants to hold an AWS office.
Following the workshop all petitioners are given a written examination over the AWS constitution, a study guide issued to the petitioners, rules and regulations and material presented by workshop speakers.
The examination this year also contained problems in human relations. In addition, each woman was asked to outline and create a new project for AWS.
Women passing this test were invited to a special coffee to meet the elections committee and each other. After a coffee the elections committee hears by a coffee the presidential candidate of the previous year, meets to name the women whose names will appear on the ballots.
Members of this year's election committee are Loretta Cooley, college junior, chairman; Emalene Gooch, Beverly Jennings and Helene Steinbuchel, college seniors; Arden Angst and Donna McCosh, education seniors, and Virginia Thomson, business senior.
Besides passing through the elimination quiz and coffee, each candidate must meet the University requirements for participation in activities and special AWS requirements for specific offices.
The president must be a junior or a senior during her term of office and have already served at least one semester on the AWS senate. Similarly the vice-president must be a junior or a senior and have served at least one semester on the AWS senate. This likely insure that these two officers are familiar with the organization over which they will preside—the president, the senate; and the vice-president, the house.
To insure sophomore representation in the senate the office of secretary is open only to women in that class. Two representatives from the freshman class are elected in the fall.
The treasurer and All Student Council representatives may be sophomores, juniors or seniors. However, one ASC representative must be an independent, and the other affiliated with a social sorority.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak at the annual Brotherhood dinner today at 6:30 p.m. at the First Congregational church parish house. The dinner is sponsored by the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy. It is a group composed of townspeople, students and faculty.

Students To Plan Stadium Seating
Persons wishing to become members can do so early through purchasing membership from members wishing to sell. The price has ranged from $1,000 to $4,000 in recent years, but at a time was as high as $5,000.
Students will regulate the size of their own seating section at football games next fall. Almost 6,000 seats extending from the north 35-yard line to the south goal line have been transferred to student control.
Miss Haggans will also discuss hedging, a way of dealing in two markets at the same time to make up for losses in one through gains in another. Consistent hedging is possible only in a speculative futures market.
Bill Wilson, chairman of the student football seating committee, said that "taking action on the big problems has only created more smaller ones; these are student seating arrangements and the transfer of ID cards.
A terminal market, such as the Chicago board of trade, is a public marketplace where buyers and sellers go to trade. As only the 1,422 companies in the US do business there, members act as representatives for non-members.
James K. Hitt, registrar, "saw some real possibilities in the plan and has been one of its top backers," Wilson said.
Arthur Lonborg, director of athletics, on the other hand, revealed
Board Of Trade To Be Discussed
An inside view of operations in a commodity exchange will be presented by Miss Alice E. Haggans, education director of the Chicago board of trade, at 3 p.m. Wednesday in Strong auditorium.
After her lecture which will be preceded by a movie, Miss Haggans will answer questions about the Chicago board of trade.
Miss Haggans will discuss how grain is marketed in a cash market, buying and selling of actual grain, and the futures market.
Miss Haggans' visit to the University has been arranged by the department of marketing in the School of Business.
in early meetings that he doubted the possibilities of the new plan, but saw merit in making it possible for more high school students to attend games.
Meetings with L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy have convinced the committee that these men would favor a new plan if it were suitable.
The student section was transferred to control of the All Student council at a student-faculty meeting attended by Dr. Woodruff, Mr. Lonborg, Raymond Nichols, executive chair of chichet, Falkenstien, business manager of athletics. The Council gave its endorsement Thursday night.
Wilson said there should be plenty of seats available, probably about 300 more than can be filled by ID cards. "These could be distributed on a tax-only basis, or on a proportional-charge basis for parents," he said.

the costumes are expected Friday.
The first rehearsal was last Friday night. Another complete run-through was held Sunday.
Every production, amateur or professional, has its trials and tribulations, its happy moments and moments of despair prior to opening night.
The play is costumed in 15th century English style and as a result two problems occurred immediately. One was finding the exact shade of green for Mary Jukes' main dress in her role of Jennet.
The University of Kansas group presenting "The Lady's Not For Burning" Feb. 27 through March 1 is no exception.
He said the big difficulty for the actors has been Christopher Fry's beautiful handling of the English language. "It's easy to get caught up in Fry's words and miss the meaning," he said.
The other was the fact that women in this period wore their hair long and the women playing the vogued wearing the vogged short peddle, haircuts.
The costumes have been ordered from Eaves in New York, but because of the uncertainty of the exact appearance of these costumes, a search was made here to find the moss green dress desired.
The material was dyed in a kelly green and brown mixture for about two and a half hours Saturday. However, the mix dried, the material fell to very low temperature was then dyed in jade green and finally the right color was obtained.
This proved a hopeless task. Only two shades of green material could be found. One was a dark forest green and the other was chartreuse.
"We concentrated on the weak spots this week." Mr. Rea said.
Tom Rea, instructor of speech and director of the play, decided to buy the chartreuse and dye it.
The problem of long hair was solved for Molly Krival, wife of Arthur S. Krival, assistant professor of English, and Dee Price, fine arts freshman. They will wear head-dresses in their respective roles of Margaret Devise and Alizon. But Jennet's hair is another matter, since
she doesn't wear a headdress.
Mr. Rea wanted Jennet to have an aurtnight in her hair. Mrs. Jukes natural hair color is light brown, and she doesn't want to dye her hair since she is leaving for New York so soon after the play.
Mr. Rea rented a wig for her, but isn't satisfied with it. As an alternative, he found a hair dresser who has a false piece of hair that matches Mrs. Jukes' natural hair. "One way or the other," he said, "I have to get more hair on Lou. She can't grow it fast enough."
Other misfortunes suffered by the group are the illness of Allen Crafton, professor of speech, who has a role in the play, and the fact that the night before the play opens, a Humanities lecture is being held in Fraser theater, where the group is practicing.
On the brighter side, the set is up and the painting has started, and
STUDENTS REHEARSE PLAY—Practicing a scene from the second act of "The Lady's Not For Burning," the University's third major play, are Mary Lou Jukes, graduate student; Lynn Osborn, college senior, and Bob Allen, KLWN announcer, left to right.
