Progressives Announce Platform; Pachacamac Wants Independents
Women Attend For First Time
The Progressive party, newest campus political group, accepted an 11-plank campaign platform Wednesday night in Frank Strong auditorium.
Women attended the meeting, the first to be held since the group voted to allow women to become members. The party is the only political group at K.U. to include men and women in the same organization.
The platform includes:
ONE. Consolidation of Independent-Greek forces for more efficient student government.
TWO. Equal opportunity for student activity leadership to all persons and all groups.
THREE Negro participation in all Bls Six athletics.
FOUR. More responsible student government and student jurisdiction over student affairs by means of a student court, rather than purely the administration.
FIVE. A student court which will have complete jurisdiction without culty intervention.
SIX. An all-student convocation in which University political parties will explain their platforms.
SEVEN. Encouragement of more school spirit by means of more holidays, mixers, and a movable holiday each semester, to be decided open by the All Student Council. EIGHT. Investigation of the vet-
MINE. Student priority at all University athletic events.
TEN. Lower admission charges for students at all athletic events.
LEVEN. Higher wage rates for all student employees of the University, with a minimum of 65 cents an hour, regardless of race or sex.
The precinct committee will divide the precincts into six wards. Membership card stubs will be used by the committee in deciding division of precincts.
A nomination committee will be appointed to decide which members of the party will be eligible for nomination to offices in the spring University election.

Classes Of Late Dr. Nash
To Meat As Usual Friday
The director emphasized that the services of the business placement bureau are for all students, not only those in the School of Business.
Inner Circle Open To Them, Ong Says
Students who expect to graduate in June should attend the registration meeting of the business placement bureau at 4 p.m. Friday in Frank Strong auditorium, Frank Piper, director, said today.
All that an Independent man needs for a seat on the Inner Circle of the Pachacamac party is a statement signed by 35 supporting Independents, asking that he be admitted as their representative, Don Ong, party president, said today.
According to Ong, this is not a new situation, but simply a continuation of the policy of previous years, before Independent students chose to split from the party.
Classes taught by the late Dr. Rert Nash will meet Friday, Dean George Smith of the School of Education said today.
No appointment has been made to fill the vacancy created by Dr. Nash's death Tuesday, Dean Smith said.
Questionnaires will be filled out of the meeting to arrange interview schedules for students who want the help of the bureau in finding a job. Pinet explained. Interviews will start in about a month, because many firms are interested in employing University graduates, he added.
"The Inner Circle of the party has been thrown wide open in an earnest drive for Independent membership." Ong said.
"The nine fraternities in the party average a little over 100 members each, so that Independent representatives, needing only 35 supporters will be on the long end of a 3 to 1 ratio. The number was set as low as 35 to leave no doubt of Pachacamac's desire to receive Independent members.
"It is expected that Independent representation on the Inner Circle will soon outnumber fraternity representation, which is further proof of our belief that Greeks and Independents can work harmoniously together for the betterment of student government." Ong said.
Dreyer Uses M.V.A. As Social Example
Scientists and engineers should understand the social, economic, and political problems their improvements create. Dr. R. M. Dreyer told the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, Tuesday.
One vote for each fraternity and Independent representative was instituted years ago at the request of the unorganized Independents holding membership in the Inner Circle, who found that one vote for everyone attending meetings was decidedly advantageous to organized houses, both Greek and Independent.
Dr. Dreyer, associate professor of geology, spent last summer with the United Geological Survey working on the Missouri Valley project.
Citing a Bureau of Reclamation report, Dr. Dryer showed that without this water conservation project, here would be a decrease in farm population, a labor migration to already overcrowded cities, and the creation of serious social and relief problems.
The Glee club will start practice immediately in preparation for three spring concerts. The combined Women's and Men's Glee clubs will give a concert in Hoch auditorium, April 16. On April 28 the Men's Glee club will sing in Kansas City, Mo., and on April 29 in Topeka.
