Waggoner Wins First In M. V. Speech Contest
John Waggoner, college sophomore, won first place for the University in the Missouri Valley Forensic league oratorical contest last night in Frank Strong hall with his oration, "Breadline Democracy."
South Dakota placed second in the contest with an oration on "A Free Press in a Free Land," by Earl Cain, and Oklahoma took third with an oration called "The Last Unknown" by Robert Loeffler.
In his oration Waggoner said that while we had political and social democracy in the United States, neither could be truly effective unless we had economic democracy also.
Preceding the contest Lyman Field, who was graduated from the University in 1936 and is now a member of a Kansas City law firm, spoke on the importance of debate and speech training to the business and professional man. This talk was given at a banquet for the contestants held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
The tournament continued through today with debates on the question "Resolved: That the United States should have the conscription of capital in the event of war." These were held at 9, and 10:30 o'clock this morning and at 1:15 this afternoon. The University debaters were Emmett Park, college senior; Grier Stewart, college junior; and Russell Baker, and Dick Oliver, business juniors.
The extemporaneous speaking contest was held at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building with James Meredith, college senior, representing the University. The speeches were on the general subject of American politics.
Two final rounds of debates will be held tomorrow morning, and the awards will be announced at noon in the theater in Green hall.

The Jayhawks are being made by Elden Tefft, fine arts sophomore, and Eugene McKinney, freshman engineer, from clay taken from the top of the Hill. The clay will be placed in 100 plaster molds, dried, and fired. This process will be repeated until the 2,000 are made.
THE WEATHER
The souvenirs will give a frontal view of the Jayhawks rather than the familiar profile view. The color has not yet been decided. The Jayhawks will be mounted on a black walnut base.

Slight Rain Is April 2 Forecast
A long-distance telephone call, a weather forecast, a three-power conference.
These were the latest developments early this afternoon in the dandelion campaign. The call was from S. D. Flora, Topeka federal meterologist for Kansas. The weatherman said: "Forecast for the period ending Wednesday night, April 2:
