'German Dramatist Symbol Of West'
Goethe is one of the symbols of western civilization J. A. Burzel, associate professor of German, told the German club, Thursday. The club met in the University Museum of art to examine the Goethe exhibit, a feature of the museum in observance of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Goethe.
Professor Burzle said Goethe is coming into his own as one of the great philosophers of his age, although he is remebered, principally for his lyric poetry, novels.
German songs were sung by Warren Alexander, graduate student, Joyce Rohrer, fine arts junior, and Barry McDaniel, College freshman, Harold Terrill, College freshman, and Georgiana Beenington, fine arts sophomore, were accompanists Marilyn Wisdon, College sophomore, accompanied group singing.
Few Seniors Order Announcements
Only 10 per cent of the seniors have ordered announcements so far, Harold Swartz, accountant at the business office, said today.
He warned that the deadline for ordering the announcements is Wednesday, April 20. With the vacation breaking into the time only three days for ordering will be left after vacation.
Orders for the announcements and the cards are taken at the student organizations window of the business office.
Independents Add To Platform
If students actually want a larger hand in campus government they must prove it to the administration, said Robert Bennett, Independent candidate for All Student Council president. He spoke at a joint meeting of the Independent Women's senate and Independent Men's party Thursday.
The ways to prove it, continued Bennett, are to cast aside the petty politics of blocking and slowing up the poll lines, and to get out to vote the largest percentage of students possible. In these ways we can show to the administration that the students are interested and capable of more self-government, said Bennett.
3. The establishment of smoking lounges in Frank Strong, Marvin, and Snow halls.
The independents also added to their platform these planks:
2. A measure to cease the disenfranchisement of organizational representatives on A.S.C.
then enroll their name.
1. Student scholarships with no grade point average required for emergency situations.
Ruth Keller, president of the Independent Women, urged the Independents to get out and vote to show that they are interested in campus government.
Four KU Officials Attend Conference
Faulty Glove Compartment Lock On Car Costs Student $13 In Traffic Fines
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women; Karl Klooz, bursar; and Keith Lawton, director of dormitories, left Thursday for the conference. Dr. L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, left today.
Robert E. Atteberry, College freshman, was elected secretary of the Independent Men's party at the meeting.
Four University officials are in Manhattan today attending a housing conference sponsored by Kansas State college.
The regional conference is for colleges in the Manhattan area. Dr. Woodruff said. The conference is held to exchange ideas and experiences concerning housing problems.
A faulty lock on the glove compartment of her car cost Elinor L. Frye, College senior, $13 for traffic violations in student court Tuesday.
One night last February she moved her car during a heavy snowfall from the Pi Beta Phi parking lot to the zone north of the Union, Miss Freve told the court.
While the car was parked there from Feb. 12 through Feb. 21, she accumulated eight parking tickets. She put these in the glove compartment.
Her mother signed an affidavit explaining that the glove compartment could not be opened. The affidavit was introduced by Howard McClellan, first year law student counsel for Miss Frye.
Later she went to Wichita, she testified, to spend a week end with her parents and leave the car. The faulty lock was then discovered and Miss Frye returned to Lawrence without the tickets.
She testified that during her three years at the University she had never received nor read the bulletin
The court ruled her guilt on all eight counts. One justice, Stuart Mitchelson, third year law student, declared himself unqualified upon request of his cousin, Fred Mitchelson, the prosecuting attorney, on the grounds that he had given counsel to the defendant.
on traffic regulations. She added that she did not know it was possible to contest the tickets at the traffic office without them in her possession. Because of this, she let the 10-day appeal time expire.
In two other cases the court dismissed traffic charges against Lester L. Hen... second year law student, and Charles A. Berthot, senior in education.
The University's visiting professor from Czechoslovakia, Otakar Odlozilik, feels that he is "in the right place at K.U. because the atmosphere is so congenial." He believes his stay here will be one of the most pleasant periods of his teaching career.

The Czechoslovakian, who was invited to teach three courses here this semester, has found student response good. He is pleased that 150 students from different schools have enrolled in his Soviet Russia in European Affairs, Southeastern Europe, or Central Europe classes. All three courses concern territories which today are in the Russian sphere of influence. Mr. Odlozilik is not surprised that his largest class is Soviet Russia, because he feels it has more bearing on contemporary world problems.
In teaching his classes he supplements modern history books with his own experiences from having lived in Europe and visited the countries on which he lectures. Russia is the one exception. He was never successful in visiting that country.
"What I've seen of Russia was just looking across a river from Rumania," he remarked.
He feels that the pact which has brought together all the forces interested in consolidating western Europe against Russian advances will decrease the probability of another war. The treaty, he savs, is a logical consequence of the Marshall plan, intending to promote consolidation of the North Atlantic area.
He considers the recent North Atlantic treaty "a good idea because it draws the lines between eastern and western Europe more clearly. Whoever tries to step over the line can now be recognized as an aggressor."
The visiting professor will leave the University in June. He has been engaged by the University of Colorado to teach Central Europe in summer school.
The University Men's Glee club of 44 voices will leave Sunday on its annual spring concert tour. The group will give four concerts in Wichita Sunday and Monday under the direction of Joseph F. Wilkins, professor of voice.

Leonard H. Axe, dean of the School of Business, has returned from an inspection of the School of Business of the University of Tulsa.
The program will include: "Tm a Jayhawk" (Bowles), "The Creation" (Richter), "May Day Carol" (arranged by Deems Taylor), "The Sleigh" (Kountz), "Drinking Song" (Romberg), "Home on the Range" (arranged by Guion-Rieger), "Down Servant" (arranged by Robert Shaw), "The Wreck of the Julie Plante" (O'Hara), "Spirit of Kansas" (Jack Laffer and Professor Allen Crafton), and "Alma Mater" (arranged by Donald Dooley).
Accompanying Dean Axe on the trip was Leslie Buchan, dean of the School of Business of Tulane university. They were acting as an inspecting committee for the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business.
The first concert will be given for the alumni association at the Twentieth Century club. The other concerts will be given to North and East High schools.

An excellent stage personality plus a clear baritone voice made the senior recital of Jess Rose Wednesday an entertainment highlight.
Hostesses will be Carol Buhler,
Mildred Gulnik, Joan Bushey,
Phyllis Deeds, and Dorothy Hogan.
Rose seemed to be very much at ease on the stage. His gestures expressed the mood of the music. He imitated the rolling walk of a sailor when he sang "Captain Stratton's Fancy" (Taylor), "Lauf Der Welt" (Grieg), a quick, gay piece, was enriched by Rose's entertaining expressions and gestures.
Jess Rose Gives Senior Recital
By ANN ALLEN
"The stuttering Lovers," a traditional Irish tune, is light and tricky. Rose sang it with an authentic brogue.
Turning to more serious music, Rose sang "Frondi Tenere" and "Ombra Mai Fu" from "Xerxes" (Handel). During the singing of the latter song, which is familiar as Handel's "Largo," Rose showed that his voice has power and oentrol. His interpretation of the aria "Vision, Fugitive" from "Herodiace" (Massenet) was good.
Marie Wilkins, instructor in voice, and Rose sang a duet from the second act of "The Barber of Seville" (Rossini).
Moon Eclipse Due April 12
An attraction of the Easter vacation will be a total eclipse of the moon.
"The eclipse will begin at 8:27 p.m., C.S.T. on Tuesday, April 12, and will be the first one we in Kansas have been able to see since December, 1945." N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, said. Total eclipse will occur between 9:28 p.m. and 10:53 p.m., and by 11:54 p.m. it will be over.
"A lunar eclipse is caused by the moon passing through the earth's shadow." Professor Storer said. "During total eclipse the moon will be a dull copper color due to light bent around the earth by the earth's atmosphere," he added.
