Pachacamac and P.S.G.L. At it Again
By RODNEY MORRISON
Believing in the old adage that all is fair in love, war, and student government, the Progressive Student Government League has taken steps to try to recover the majority on the Men's Student Council they held before last spring's election.
Last night Carl Unruh of the P.S.G.L. filed suit with the Student Supreme Court in quo warranto against David Whitney, Pachacamac Council representative, demanding that Whitney show cause why he should be allowed to sit on the Council.
According to legal experts in the School of Law the suit is not in order until it is accepted by the full 'court of five members, four of which have not yet been appointed.
When Whitney was sworn in as a representative from the College at the Council meeting Monday night, he replaced David Watermulder, who moved up into the position of president after Bob McKay failed to return to school.
Unruh's suit is placed on the legal technicality that there was no vacancy on the Council for Whitney to fill. P.S.G.L. leaders claim that although Watermulder legally became president of the council, he still remains a representative from the College.
Leaders of th Society of Pachacamac say that if this argument is followed to its conclusion then Watermulder would have two votes on the Council, one for each seat he fills.
Members of the faculty of the School of Law say, however, that it is obviously the intent of the Men's Student Constitution that the president shall hold a seat separate from those of the regular presen-

Kansan Voting Slow Skorga and Henry Still Maintain Voting Leads
Henry Skorga, independent candidate, was still out in front in the race for a free trip to the Rose Bowl in the Kansan's Holiday Excursion Contest. Next in line among the men was Ray Evans, Phi Delt Candidate.
Students Rally, Gridmen Practice-
A nominating committee, headed by Bob Forman, will present the student candidates for offices at the Thursday evening rehearsal.
At the picnic a discussion will be held concerning Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. This is expected to be the feature production of the orchestra this year, according to a statement by Karl Kuersteiner, conductor.
Members of the University Symphony orchestra will honor newly elected members of that organization with a picnic, Friday 24, at Lake Tonganoxie. Officers will be elected at the second rehearsal session Thursday evening.
Committees for the picnic are as follows: games, Eddie Allsup and Jean Turnbull; food, Barbara Hulse, Doris King, and Kenneth Nelson; transportation, Jimmy Berkson; and finance, Dick Rice.

Point
Twelve thousand votes have been cast by Kansan subscribers, but nearly a million ballots are expected to be cast before October 3.

35 Men Selected By Henry
BY CLINT KANAGA
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
Aware of what is in store for them when they meet Temple Friday night, the Kansas varsity worked hard in yesterday's practice in preparing a pass defense to cope with the "aerial circus" Coach Ray Morrison of Temple is sure to put on for them.
Thirty-five gridmen will entrain for Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock.
35 on List
The air-battle between the Jayhawker star 'Rifling' Ralph Miller and the Owl's great passer, 'Handy Andy' Tomasic, should be terrific.

In all probability, the Kansas lineup will contain six inexperienced sophomores—Bob Githens at center, Warren Hodges and Jack Tenebaum at the tackle slots, while three husky backs, Ray Evans, Don Ettinger, and Rey Nibio will be the likely first year men holding down regular berths. This sophomore contingent may show up to good advantage, but in Temple they will
Mix Heads Committee For Child Aid
Due to the support and cooperation which the "Save the Children Federation" received from organizations and individuals on the Hill last spring, the committee, under the chairmanship of A. J. Mix, professor of botany, is now being organized to start another campaign for funds.
The plans for aiding the children have been somewhat changed. Last spring each person or organization in America donated $30 to "adopt" a British child, who was living in the danger of a bombing zone. For each $30 sent over from America the British Government also donated $30.
This year a more desirable plan seems to be that of establishing nursery shelters in places such as country homes and universities. The shelters will house 40 children each and the cost of maintenance will be approximately $8,000, half of which is to be provided by the British government.
It is the desire of the committee, ac-

Two Giant Pep Shows Scheduled
Potent pep medicine to aid the Jayhawks in their first big test of the football season against Temple in Philadelphia Friday will be brewed in a giant pep rally at 10:20 tomorrow morning in front of Robinson gymnasium.
Roy Edwards, head cheerleader and president of the KuKu's, hopes to have Ralph Miller, senior back, give a short talk to the group. A 10 Minute Session
Edwards stressed the point that all students should attend if possible to give the team a good sendoff for the first game of the season. The

It's Fighting Cocks S.A.E. to Chi O's
A chicken in the house is worth three in the coop, but three fighting cocks in the parlor—well!
Such were the thoughts running rampant at the Chi Omega house last night after their neighbors, the Sig Alph's, presented them with three cocks by thrusting them unceremoniously through the front door about 10 o'clock.
The birds fluttered over the floor, flounced at each other and at Mrs. Edith Martin, housemother, then they perched on the piano, and finally were forcefully ejected. This morning, however, they were still on hand to?
ever, they were still on hand to crow at 6 o'clock, reminding the girls that the up-the-street fraternity would not be forgotten. This episode followed a day of dickering between the two houses. When the Chi O's swiped the Sig
Alph Drake Relays trophy Monday night, the heckling started.
A queer quirk was that at the same time the men were delivering the three fighting cocks to the sorority house, a carload of Chi Ome (continued to page eight)
