Redistricting Committee Meets Monday
Both parties have proposed revisions already worked out, but acceptance depends on the whole committee. Pachacamac members on the committee are Chuck Elliott, college sophomore, and Dick Oliver, business junior. P.S.G.L. members are Russell Mosser, graduate, and Eugene Ricketts, senior law.
Final action on redistricting will be left up to the seven man committee; the Council as a whole has no vote on the matter. Originally, the proposal was made by Bob McKay, Pachacamac representative at large, and although he declared he had a revision already worked out, details of the plan have not been revealed.
The redistricting committee of the Men's Student Council took no definite action on the proposals for shifting the means of apportioning representatives to the Council at their meeting last night, deciding to wait for faculty advice before proposing any change.
The present system of apportionment divides the University into four districts by schools. The College has eight representatives from its district and the School of Engineering has four representatives in its district.
The committee, composed of two Pachacamac and two P.S.G.L. members, will meet Monday afternoon with Hilden Gibson, E. O. Stene, and W.R. Maddox, faculty members of the committee from the department of political science, to decide on what changes, if any, should be made in the present system of apportionment
The third district, also with four representatives, is composed of the Schools of Fine Arts, Pharmacy, Education, and Business. The smallest district under the present system, with three representatives, comprises the Schools of Law, Medicine, and the Graduate School.
Nazis Look To Americas--Angell
Nazi Will Hit Western Hemisphere Next
By JOHN CONARD
If Hitler wins this war, Americans can expect the Nazi strategy to be directed toward the Western hemisphere, said Sir Norman Angell, distinguished British journalist, in his convocation address in Hoch auditorium this morning.
The first step of this conquering strategy, Angell said, has already taken place to some degree. It is the "peaceful penetration" of the Latin American countries.
"There is today," said Sir Norman,
"without exception a Fascist party
in every Latin American state." Granting a Nazi victory in Europe, Nazism would peacefully bore into Mexico.
Nazis Would Exert Influence
With a party firmly established in Mexico, he added, the Nazis would exert their influence toward the construction of super-airdromes, "of course for purely commercial purposes." Everything would be arranged for Nazi air superiority, if and when they ever "need" Mexico.
And sea power—well Britain certainly would no longer rule the waves. Neither would America. America, facing Japan in 'the Pacific and a Nazified Europe in the Atlantic, would become a definitely second-rate sea power. The Nazis,
with sea superiority and machinery set up for air superiority in Mexico, should be able to do a fairly efficient job when they attack this country.
Of course, Angell admitted, America is not going to be lying idle. But neither is Hitler. And Hitler's army and the Nazi party are unified—unified by force and the worship of a mighty leader, but none the less unified. The American nations are not unified. The United States must defend two continents, some of the nations of which may not be even sympathetic.
America Will Not Be Idle
"I would like to reply to the accusation that this is an imperialist war," said Angell. "Our conservative government could have gone on appeasing and maintaining 'peace at any price' indefinitely. But that is not what the people wanted. Critics Became Leaders
Critics rose in the Parliament and censured the government for its policy. Were these critics purged, as they would have been in Berlin? No, these critics became the leaders of the new government, because the people wanted them. If that isn't democracy, I don't know what is."
In a talk with a Kansan reporter before the convocation, Angell said, "In my books I have used many times the phrase, 'War cannot pay.' To give a clearer meaning, it should
Presented to Dyche ★★★ Musk-Oxen
Dyche Museum has received two specimens of musk-oxen from the Chicago Academy of Science for addition to the Panorama on the first floor of the museum.
(continued to page eight)
Fossil remains of the musk-oxen have been found in Oklahoma and Texas where they roamed during the last "Ice Age," but relatively few museums have secured a specimen.
Specimens of musk-oxen are comparatively rare among museums. They live in the arctic regions of northern Canada and are protected by Canadian law. An expedition to obtain one of these specimens would require the consent of the Canadian government and several thousand dollars would be necessary to equip the expedition.
WEATHER
Generally fair and somewhat warmer. Party cloudy in extreme east portion.
Ku Ku's Prepare Rally For Team
bunting. A triumph at Lincoln will guarantee at least a tie for the title and insure chances for an undisputed claim to the honor.
Loyal Kansas basketball supporters will gather at the Santa Fe station at 7:30 tomorrow night to speed Jaykawk cagers on their way to the crucial Nebraska game, representatives of the Ku Kus announced today.
Realizing the importance of showing the team that the student body is pulling for them to win the important contest with the Huskers, members of the men's pep organization have laid plans for an informal sendoff for the players and Coach Allen, Tom Arbuckle, president of the Ku Kus said this morning.
Efforts will be made to have the' University band play at the rally, but the success will depend on student attendance. The basketball team is nearing the end of a long, hard but successful season, and student support at this rally may be the final push that will send the Jayhawks home with the Big Six
Coach Allen and several of the players will probably be asked to say a few words to the rallying students.
Hold Loving Cup---
Electricals To Defend Engine Exposition Title
Students and faculty members of the department of electrical engineering will put forth special effort in making plans for their exhibit in this spring's Engineering Exposition.
The department now holds the Sigma Tau loving cup, given at every exhibition to the department having the best exhibit.
Back in 1931, Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity decided to stimulate interest, creating friendly competition between departments by awarding a cup to the department having the best exhibit. kept the cup until 1934. The departme on it
The cup, 12 inches in height and mounted on a four-inch base, is kept by the winning department until the next show, when it is again open for competition.
The electricals won in 1931 and
kept the cup until 1934. The department of architecture won it then and repeated its victory in 1936. The chemical engineers topped the list in the 1938 contest and held the cup until 1940. The electrical engineers then came back in the 1940 contest to take possession of the cup after nine years of effort.
Dormitory Men To Operate Halls
Men living in the three residence halls, Templin, Carruth, and Battenfeld, will now govern themselves, following a revision of the administrative rules controlling the operation of the halls at the meeting of the Dormitory Operating committee Monday.
The committee voted that a representative group of the three houses have the privilege of making all rules governing social affairs, hours, and work schedules. The new group will be responsible only to the operating
In speaking of the resolution Henry Werner, adviser of men and chairman of the operating committee, said "This gives a far greater amount of self-government than found in most university operated dormitories, but the committee was unanimous in their expressions of confidence in the dormitory scholars."
The new group, elected by their respective houses, includes Bob Stark, college junior; Glenn St. Aubyn, college freshman; Grover Keller, junior engineer; Ray North, junior engineer; and Willis Tompkins, college sophomore, representing Templin hall.

Swomley To Speak At Peace Meet
WSGA To Discuss Two Proposals
The Women's Self-Governing Association will meet at 7 o'clock tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building to consider two important proposals left undecided at their last meeting, as well as their usual new business.
The resolution of Men's Student Council, proposing a joint committee to study the advantages or disadvantages of a combined council was tabled last week for further consideration and will undoubtedly be acted upon tonight.
In addition, the petition-backed proposal for the reorganization of the book exchange on a non-profit basis was referred to a committee for investigation, and a report on its findings will be made tonight.
The women's council will also consider the applications for candidacy in the spring election and take final action on completing the slate.
Swomley, whose headquarters are in New York City, was graduated from Dickinson College in 1936. He is vice-president of the National Council of Methodist Youth, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Tau Kappa Alpha honorary societies, and Phi Delta Theta social fraternity. His home is in Harrisburg, Pa.
Those students and faculty members who attend the weekly fasts send the money which would have been spent for lunch to a food fund which provides meals for refugees in southern France.
The fasts are a project of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, an inter- (continued to page eight)
