Yale Dean To Speak Here Good Friday
Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean emeritus of the Yale Divinity School and one of America's outstanding clergymen, will be the annual Good Friday convocation speaker at the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today. Dr. Brown has been on the Yale staff since 1911, having served as dean of the Divinity School from 1911 to 1928, and as dean emeritus since that time.
The Yale clergyman is one of America's most famous religious lecturers. In addition to numberless public appearances, he has also served as special lecturer at Stanford, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, the Pacific School of Religion, Harvard, the University of North Carolina, and Southern Methodist University.
Dr. Brown is a graduate of the University of Iowa with the degrees of bachelor of arts and master of arts. He holds Doctor of Divinity degrees from Yale, Oberlin, and Brown and has been awarded the Doctor of Laws by Boston College Weslyan, and Mills College. He began his ministry as pastor of the First Congregational church of Los Angeles. From 1913 to 1915, he served as moderator of the National Council of the Congregational Church.
Bankhead Bill Vetoed Today By Roosevelt
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt today vetosed the Bankhead bill which would have boosted the nation's food bill by $1,500,000,000 a year as he warned "that all of us—farmers, workers, managers, and investors" must cut down the standard of living during total war.
Mr. Roosevelt explained that he took the action because the measure would break down "the barriers we have erected and which we must maintain in order to avoid all the disasters of inflation."
The Bankhead bill would exclude incentive payments in computing the parity price to be paid for farm productions and it would also drive up the retail price of food.
This was the first time that Mr. Roosevelt had vetoed a major bill enacted by the new 78th Congress.
New Naval Division Arrives
New Naval Division Arrives
The Tenth Division arrived today at the Naval training school. Consisting of 190 machinist's mates trainees, the division will replace the Sixth Division which was graduated last Saturday.
Army Day Is Routine Day Now
Next Wednesday is Army Day on the calendar, but to the U. S. army and its various branches it probably will be just another day of concentration on winning the war.
Civilians, too, while fully appreciative of the value of the army under the circumstances of the times, probably will not celebrate but will acknowledge the day with greater efforts in war work to back up the armed forces.
The parade and other exercises that are customary on April 7, will be missing this year in many localities. Army Day has not been given the observance on the campus that it has in metropolitan areas. For the last two years the occasion has passed almost unnoticed.
Col. William C. Washington, in charge of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, said that no celebration has been planned this year by his group. The fact that the ROTC had not arranged a celebration does not prevent members participating in civilian programs, he said.
Flying Instructor And Cadet Killed At Coffeyville Base
Coffeyville, (INS)—An army flying instructor and a cadet stationed at the army flying base here have been killed in the crash of a training plane 10 miles north of the field, it was announced yesterday by the Public Relations office at the field. The crash occurred late the day before.
The dead are Second Lt. William Miener, 22, of Kennett, Mo., and Cadet Larkin G. Henry, survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Henry, Okemah, Okla.

Unicameral Wins 15-1 in Small Vote
Two-Day Drama Festival Draws 13 High Schools
High school students from 13 eastern Kansas schools, who wandered through Fraser hall, stood tensely behind scenes at Liberty Memorial High School's auditorium waiting for cues, gave standard orations in Green hall or whispered over lines of humorous and dramatic reading while awaiting their turn, were all a part of the speech and drama festival going on today and tomorrow morning on the campus.
Although only a small number of students went to the polls yesterday, they voted an overwhelming 15 to one per cent for the adoption of the new constitution combining the MSC and WSGA into a single governing unit. The vote was 489 for the unicameral system and 33 against it, Vernon McKale, MSC resident said today.
The festival sponsored by the extension division and department includes contestants from Rossville, Tonganoxie, Lansing, Stockton, Wyandotte in Kansas City, Bonner Springs, Capitol Catholic and Highland Park of Topeka, Shawnee Mission, Valley Falls, Haskell Institute, Seneca Catholic, and Lawrence.
Tonight the high school delegates will attend a banquet in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building and later will see Prof. Allen Crafton's play, "Distinguished Service."
ISA Men Will Elect Sweetheart at Hop
Bachmann and Pope's band will play. Admission will be 50 cents for non-members and free to those with membership cards.
Sweetheart of the Independent Student Association will be presented at intermission of the Jay Hop in the main lounge of the Union building from 9 to 12 o'clock tomorrow night. She will be elected by the men who attend the semi-formal dance.
Queen candidates are Patricia Foster, College sophomore; Johnnie May Mann, College freshman; Nadine Hunt College senior; Mary Martha Hudelson, business junior; and Dorothy Mae Nelson, fine arts senior.
president said today.
Accounting for the small vote, McKale said that "As the vote went it certainly showed where the sentiment was. Of course, a lot of students forgot to vote. Many probably thought there would be no dissention and no necessity of their voting. In general, I would say that the light vote was due to a lack of interest and students not taking the trouble."
That women displayed more interest in the election than men is shown by the fact that out of the votes cast, 303 of them were on the blue ballots used by the women.
New Council Will Be Selected Soon McKale stated that the new council would probably be selected within the next two weeks and that the MSC and WSGA councils will meet Monday night to make preliminary plans for selections.
Plans for the new all-student constitution were begun several weeks ago by MSC and WSGA members who gave their final council approval at a joint meeting of both (continued to page five)

Final Proficiency Exam To Be April 10
The fourth English proficiency examination of this school year will be at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, April 10. Candidates must register in person at the College office, April 5-7, and only juniors and seniors in the College may take the exam.
There is a possibility that such an examination may be given during summer school. A student must enroll in 24 hours of work after passing the examination before he can qualify for a degree.
Senior standing will not be granted until students have passed the proficiency examination, Prof. John B. Virtue of the English department said.
If a student fails to pass the last examination given during his junior year, he may take the first one given in the senior year and be allowed to count the first semester's hours in with the second to total 24. However, he cannot take a second quiz in his senior year and graduate.
