Engleman Wins Presidency Ray Evans Leads Senior Class
New President Has Long Record Of Leadership
Howard Engleman, president-elect of the All-Student Council, will bring a wealth of experience to the presidency when he takes office this spring.
Engleman came to the University in 1937 from Arkansas City where he'd made an outstanding record in high school athletics and scholarship. In his sophomore year at K U. he was a regular on the varsity basketball squad and broke a longstanding record set by Coach F. C. Allen by scoring 27 points against Oklahoma.
In his junior year he was a starting player on the Jayhawker squad which went to the N.C.A.A. finals before being beaten by a red-hot Illinois team. After that tournament he was chosen captain of the N.C.A.A. All-star team.
In his last year of competition, 1940-41, he was conference high coorer with a sizzling 16.5 point average a game.
He was graduated in 1941 from the School of Business. During his four years at the University, he was elected a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business fraternity, was on the Dean's honor Roll, and was elected to membership in Sachem, senior men's honorary fraternity. He was also president of the Business school during his last year here.
Following graduation he went to work for Phillips Oil company and played on the independent Phillips Oilers. Later he was given a lieutenant's commission in the navy and during his three years service saw action in Philippine waters and was wounded in an engagement off Okinawa.
Engleman, a tall blond, returned to the University to study law, at the beginning of the spring semester

Propent of Negro participation in K.U. athletics, George Caldwell won his way back to the All-Student Council as an Independent-P.S.G.L. representative.
Retiring President

An Editorial
Now Let's Settle Down To Work
By LEMOYNE FREDERICK
(Dilly Kansen Editor-in-chief)
Now it's over for another year. It was hardly a quiet election campaign, but K.U. has seen some that were much noisier.
That's behind us now. Our new student government representatives have been chosen, and the future is what counts.
In the past we have too often been prone to take little interest in the student government once it was elected. It is certainly their job to do the major share in seeking solutions for campus problems. But they can achieve little success without the whole-hearted cooperation of the student body. Their responsibility is to serve us. Our responsibility is to support them.
It would be foolish to assume that the new council has smooth sailing ahead. There are plenty of problems that call for attention now, and the days ahead will only multiply those problems.
By cooperation, effort, interest, and devotion to those things which will advance the welfare of all students and make K.U. a better university, the new council can fulfill its obligations. If it fails in any of these attributes the All-Student Council will become a student government in name only.
It is relatively unimportant to which party you belong now that the election is over. The student body has made its choice and now it is up to all of us to give the council our full support.

Counting Takes Longer Than Voting, Weary Workers Discover
By MARIAN MINOR (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
"It looks like a long night, doesn't it?" an observer taunted, surveying "the people's choice," waiting in rows of plain wooden boxes.
Votes for Boyd Raeburn—those K-Club varsity stickers were effective—served to relieve the tension among glassy-eyed counters gathered in the smoke-filled room in Frank Strong hall last night.

Engleman is the first member of Pachacamac - N.O.W. (formerly Pachacamac-W.I.G.S.) parties to be elected head of the A.S.C. since its organization in 1941. Clarence Engle, P.S.G.L., was first president, when the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Governing Association were merged into a joint group. Other presidents have been Peggy Davis, P.W.C.L.; PersSnook, P.W.C.L.; and Mary Jo Cox, Independent.
Eugenia Hepworth, N.O.W., retiring president, became president from the vice-presidency, when Mary Jo Cox did not return the second semester this year.
Befuddled Nancy Hulings counting thoughtfully, "36, 36, 36 . . . oh, yeah, 37 . . ."
carefully padlocked. (He was then put to work.)
Earl "Round Man" Stanton and his co-worker couldn't seem to make things tally, but kept repeating cheerfully, "Well, let's try counting them once more. We're only 20 off"
Kibitzers moved between tables, keeping party leaders posted on the latest count in the race for student offices.
A Greek, an Independent, a Greek,
an independent sitting side-by-side
at the long tables, nervously
cooperating on the counting processes.
"All the women are voting for Nickell. . . Engleman's leading in this district. . . "
Loud murmurs, then hub-hub as the tide of voting changed . . .
A sneeze at one table and sympathetic sighs of "Gesundheid!" from two tables over . . .
Ballots became slightly soggy and sugary, when doughnuts and cokes were distributed around 10 o'clock, courtesy of the A.S.C. Try passing stacks of ballots sometimes with a coke in one hand, a doughnut in the other, and a cigarette dangling from your mouth.
Counters had to soothe Elizabeth Nevin's nerves, when she suddenly had the urge to calling out class offices backwards . . . "President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer" can get monotonous.
"Migosh, what do I do now." Rosemary Harding would wall, in her attempt to keep the fascinating proportional representation system of vote-counting working properly. Prof. E. O. Stene, political science, was kept hopping from table to table in answer to S. O. S.'s on the procedure.
