ASC Gives $1,835 To Student Groups
Postlethwaite Objects To Grant For Student - Faculty Conference
The All Student Council granted $1,835 in appropriations to student organizations Tuesday. Arnold Englund, finance committee chairman, presented the requests to the Council for approval.
Mortar Board society received $150, Associated Women Students $300, National Intercollegiate United Nations association $25, Engineering council $350, Alpha Phi Omega
$250, Independent Student associat-
ion $150, World Student Service
and $50.
A request for $110 for Sachem men's honorary fraternity, set of catarical fireworks among the Council members. The discussion concerned the Sachem sponsored annual student-faculty conference for which part of the appropriation will be used.
Objects To Grant
Duane Postlethwaite of the Council objected to the grant on the grounds that the student-faculty conference constituted nothing more than "a mutual admiration society." Robert Thayer, another representative, argued that the conference was worth while for both students and faculty because it enabled them to "get grudges off their chests."
The object of the conference is to discuss curricular changes, prerequisite subjects, enrollment and other features of student life, Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, told the Council. The request was approved.
Protests "Y" Requests
The controversial issues were requests from the Y.W.C.A. for $200 and from the Y.M.C.A. for $250. Postlethwaite protested that it was throwing money away by giving it to organizations that had other sources of income." However, he explained that he thought the organizations were worthy and that it would be better to reduce the size of the appropriations. The Council approved the original requests.
Edwin Kelly, Postlethwaite, and George Robb volunteered to serve as a committee to investigate methods of presenting the students with a report of the activities of the Council other than that reported to the University Dalkans. $23 To Miss Clayton
Grants $33 To Miss Clayton
The Council moved to grant $33 to Ruth Clayton, former advertising manager of the Bitter Bird, for advertisising commissions due her. This action overruled a previous decision to require Miss Clayton to submit statements from Lawrence businessmen showing that she had been paid for advertising space in the magazine. The Council decided that Miss Clayton's job had been to solicit and contract from advertising, and that collections were to have been made by the magazine's business manager.
Edmund Kostra, a Polish student, was a visitor at the meeting and thanked the Council for the scholarship awarded him by the University. Kostra spoke of the privations endured by European students as contrasted with the peace and security he had found in Lawrence since his arrival two days ago from Italy.
Ask For Workers
Another visitor, James C. McCoy, asked that four council representatives be appointed to work at tables in Frank Strong hall and Watson library in the forthcoming tuberculosis fund drive.
Members who attended the meeting are George Robb, Harriet Harlow, Nancy Welker, Helen Heath, Elizabeth Webster, John Margrave, Betsey Shiedley, Robert Wehe, Lynn Leigh, Arthur Ruppenthal, Postlethwaite Thayer, Richard Gunn, England, Margaret van der Smissen, Edwin Kelly, Ruth Brown, George McCarthy, Phillip Hill, Shirley Wellborn, and Keith Wilson.
Student Gives 'Cycle To Fund
A motorcycle valued at $250 has been donated to the World Student Service Fund drive by Dale W. Fields, College sophomore.
The machine will be sold by the W. S. S. F. and the money added to that already received by the drive.
"I hope that others will follow my lead and contribute something worthwhile, if they do not have actual cash to contribute. It is my sincere hope that all University students will give to the W. S. S. F. so that persons in the war-torn countries of the world can have the educational advantages which are so important in this new world." Fields said.
The $1,265 which has been reported by the World Student Service Fund drive is expected to increase sharply by Monday, Ned Linearg, Y. M. C. A. secretary, said at a meeting of the team contains Tuesday.
Only 21 of the 94 team captains have reported. This is very encouraging as it shows that they are still working hard at this most important phase of the drive.
This personal contact phase, which will end Monday, will probably not fill our goal of $9,052. We will have to seek contributions by other methods." Linegar said.
Jean Francisco and Edward Chesky, leaders of the team captains, told the meeting that every person on the University campus must be interviewed on the subject.
The announcement of the new vice-president, who will fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Mrs. Lea Sears, will be made in the business meeting. Following the meeting the members will knit, sew, and play bridge.
KU Dames To Announce
Name Of Vice-President
"This is a hard job. No one seems to be at home. The workers must stick to the job and not be discouraged the first time they are turned down. Every one must be sold on the importance of the job we are doing, Miss Francisco said.
K. U. Dames executive committee will announce the name of the new vice-president at 7:30 p.m. today in the Pine room of the Union.
Schoeppel To Battle Capper In Senate Race
Andrew F. Schoeppel, former governor of Kansas, today announced his candidacy for U.S. senator in the 1948 Republican primaries next August. Schoeppel's announcement followed Senator Arthur A. Capper's decision Saturday to seek renomination for his senate seat.
William F. Turrentine, personal secretary of ex-Governor Schloepel and probable campaign manager, said that Schloepel's candidacy did not indicate a split in the Republican party. He said, "It will be a hotly contested primary but after the primary there will be a solid Republican front in Kansas, as usual."
"I have received many inquiries as to whether I would be a candidate for the United States senate and after having fully considered all phases of the matter, I have decided to be a candidate at the Republican primary on August 3, 1948, for the office of United States senator from Kansas."
The former governor's announcement said:
Political factions throughout the state have hinted that if Schoeppel ran for senator, a possible party split might be in sight, since Alfred M. Landon, Republican nominee for president in 1936, had already indorsed Senator Capper. Political insiders also ventured that Schoeppel might lead a parade of other party members, including Thomas B. Wilson, Kansas legislator and William Kahrs, Wichita lawyer, for the senatorial nomination.
Campus opinion among University of Kansas students varied. Some students thought that Schoeppel's announcement was a political move to split the Republican party, while others said that a change would be good for the Republicans.
Paul D. Barker, vice-president of the Young Democrats club said. "I am surprised that Kansas Republicans are not sticking to their stagnant policies."
Z. J. Nevels, College freshman, said, "Capper should step aside and let Schoeppel have the ticket. Capper is old. I think he has been there (Washington) too long. Schoeppel also has had enough political experience as governor."
Topeka—(UP) — Former Kansas governor Payne Ratner said today that he would not be a senatorial candidate "this year" and that he would support Senator Capper for re-election.
Campus Opinion Varies
Just Ask — Even For Two-Headed Snakes
Marjorie L. Garten, College junior, asserted that, "New blood would be beneficial. Both men are experienced in government. Schoeppel should know politics as well as Caper. I think Schoeppel would be better."
See Hot Primary
Now everyone 'knows that barbers are talkative fellows who can ramble on about any subject without missing a clip. But a two-headed snake is something for Ripley, not a ripper.
Ever see a two-headed snake?
An Irishman named Kelley was calmly sitting in the barber chair at Sunflower having his locks leveled*
An Irishman named Kelley was Sunflower having his locks leveled* when the man with the scissors brought up the slippery subject.
What would the barbers do without bull—snakes?
Kelley hadn't seen a two headed snake for weeks now and for kicks asked the barber if he could produce such an animal. That was all that Quinon Snowden, the barber, was waiting for. He quickly displayed a bottle containing a snake about eight inches long and possessing two distinct heads.
Freshmen To Elect Officers Tomorrow
Snowden had killed a big bull snake near Chanute, and noticed that it had a bulge in its body. He dissected the bull snake and discovered the two-headed number. The duodome snake is now under observation at Dyche museum.
All Students Are Eligible To Vote On WEC-AWS Amendment
University students will go to the polls tomorrow to vote for freshman class officers and to approve or disapprove an amendment to the All Student Council constitution.
Sixty per cent of the freshman class is expected to vote according to an estimate by the A.S.C. elections committee. Preelection week has been
Two Other Parties Deny Conspiracy
Ben Foster, president of the Progressive political party, Earl Stanton, president of Pachacamac, and Lynwood Smith, write-in candidate, denied today the accusations of Dale Judy, president of the Independent party. Judy claimed that the "write-in" candidate for president in the freshman election tomorrow was a plot to split the independent vote.
"It is an unwarranted attack made without thorough investigation." Foster said. "Contrary to Judy's statement it would tend to split the fraternity vote rather than that of the independents, because Smith is a fraternity man."
Betas Do Petitioning
Foster said that Smith was largely petitioned by members of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity of which Smith is a member. "It seems highly illogical that the Betas, who have been repudiated by all political parties should become involved in such treachery." Foster pointed out.
In a statement to clarify his position in the election and in answer to Dale Judy's accusations, Smith said, "I am completely independent of the influence of any political party. It's too bad that a candidate unconnected with any party or platform cannot run in an election without the feeling of any underlying conspiracy." "Voters Aren't Free"
"A fair election of this sort is impossible when the members of one party are required to go one way, and the others are told that anything but a straight party ticket will bring disaster to them.
Freshman Pep Club To Elect Officers
Officers of the Freshman pep club will be elected at a meeting at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 103 Frank Strong hall.
Membership goal for the pep club is 100 freshmen. The club already has two members from each organized house and is open to both Greeks and Independents, George Polk, Kuku club representative, said.
A permanent name for the club and official uniforms for members will be selected at the meeting. Members will also learn University yells and work on a skit for the homecoming game.
