Winner by a wide margin in an unusually light election yesterday, Dick Lee, junior engineer, is the new president of the Engineering Council. He defeated his opponent, Stuart Bunn, junior engineer, by a vote of 172 to 83.
This vote is considerably lighter than last year's total of 325, although enrollment has increased in the School of Engineering. The vote at noon yesterday was 160, but the expected big turnout during the afternoon hours did not materialize.
John Harkness was elected vicepresident over Richard Gray, and Allen Shontz won the race for secretary-treasurer over Norman Sanneman and Richard Winslow.
Class representatives elected were for the senior class, Dorus Mun-
singer; junior class, Vernon McKale; sophomore class, James Waugh. A freshman representative will be chosen next fall.
Representatives of engineering departments elected were: chemical engineering, Charles Means; mechanical engineering, Richard Large; electrical engineering, Joseph Farnkovich; mining engineering, Charles Carey; petroleum engineering, Paul Thayer; architecture, Conrad Curtis; and civil engineering, Horace Lamberton. Lamberton's name was added to the original list of candidates by petition.

Audition For Bids

On display will be the K.U. Coeds when they audition before Mac McConky, Kansas City booking agent, tonight.
The girls will play from 7 to 8 p.m. in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall in the hopes of making an impression on Mr. McConky.

R.O.T.C. Cadets Will Eat Ham and Beans Barbecue Will Be Tonight
By DON COLE
When you read this story brother R.O.T.C. cadet, provided you do read it, we hope to remind you that you're eating out tonight. Remember? The R.O.T.C. spring barbecue is being held at the Lawrence Community building at 6:40 o'clock tonight, so come down and indulge in a bit of luscious barbecued ham sandwiches and baked beans.
You were reminded in R.O.T.C. classrooms, in the Daily Kansan and on the R.O.T.C. bulletin board to attend this barbecue, but we saw that barbecued ham this morning and if
you don't come we'll eat your share.
Of course, you won't consume ham and beans alone. There's about 80 gallons of coffee, radishes and onions,
and plenty of ice cream for everyone.
If you've never been to an R.O.T.C. barbecue before, we'll tell you now to take a sizeable helping of Sergeant William Kollender's meat sauce. Listening to the list of ingredients in the sauce you'd think a tablespoonful of the stuff would kill an elephant. But R.O.T.C. officials tell us that Sergeant Kollender sometimes forgets to add all of the olive oil, catsup, pickles, celery and maple syrup, thank heaven! and the sauce is really excelle
Have Some Meat Sauce
You can't bring your girl without special invitation, but it wouldn't be wise anyway. We saw enough green onions down in the Community building to drive the German army out of occupied France, and it would be terrible to subject the girl friend to an onion breath barrage.
Prepared Ham
Sergeant Kollender prepared the hams last night down at a local bakery and all that is needed to complete the barbecue job is to slice the ham and warm it.
This is the lest barbecue at which Colonel Karl F. Baldwin will preside here, since he will go into active service with the army this summer.
Ed Eibel, associate professor of physical education, is in charge of
the entertainment program and it looks like some fancy tumbling is in store for us.
Dixon Helps With Food
Frank Dixon, better known as "String," the boy who has traveled with the University football squads for the last 17 years, is helping prepare the food. He knows his job too, having served as a cook at the barbecues for the last three years.
In case you want to hear Larry sing tonight don't worry about the barbecue interfering. The barbecue was moved up from 7 to 6:40 p.m. and the program will be finished by 8 o'clock.
Be sure to come in uniform. We'll line up in companies as usual and company commandrehs will try to preserve a little order at the tables.
Because of certain cancellations on reserved seat tickets for the concert, there will be a few reserved seats available at prices of $1.50 and $2 at the box office this evening. General admissions to the main floor and first balcony will also be on sale at $1.50, plus tax.
The program is as follows:
"To Be Near Thee" (Salvatore Rosa); "Gia II Sole Dal Gange" (Scarlatti); "Silent Worship, from 'Ptolemy'" (Handel-Somervell); "Defend Her, Heaven," from "Theodora" (Handel-Lebell).
"Bist Du Bei Mir" (Bach-Warren); "Giga" (Antonie Kammell); "Capriccio in F Sharp Minor" (Bort-kiewicz), played solo by Wille; "Eri Tu," from "The Masked Ball" (Verdi).
"Allerseelen" (Strauss); "Verrath"
(Brahms); "Du Bist So Jung" (Erich
Wolff); "Ewig" (Erich Wolff).
"Pilgrim's Song" (Tschaikowsky); "None But the Lonely Heart" (Tschaikowsky); "Wander Shoes" (Elinor Remick Warren); "Edward" (Carl Loewe).
"Deep River" (Harry Burleigh);
"Betsy's Boy" (Jacques Wolfe);
"Hangman, Slack on de Line" (Negro folk song, adapted by Harvey Enders).
Prepare Though ★★★
Wary 700
Tickets for the final performance Thursday night of "On With the Show," student musical revue, in Fraser theater may still be obtained between 8:30 and 12 and 1:30 and 4:30 o'clock in the ticket office in Green hall.
Should Lawrence Tibbett be stricken with another attack of laryngitis and cancel his concert for tonight, the final performance of "On With the Show" will be given tonight instead of tomorrow night as scheduled.
Approximately 250 persons attended the second performance of the revue last night as compared to the first night crowd of 300. A near sellout audience is expected for Thursday night.
