W.S.G.A. Studies Two Problems
The Women's Self-Governing Association failed to take any definite action on either of the two important problems facing student government at its meeting in the Union building last night, referring both the combined council and the book exchange reorganization proposals to committees for further consideration.
Not Full Discussion
In spite of an hour long discussion on the merits of a combined council system, the W.S.G.A. apparently could not decide whether to agree with the Men's Student Council that a need existed for a joint committee investigation of the proposal. The resolution passed by the M.S.C. to set up a joint committee was referred to the W.S.G.A.
O'Theene Huff, president of the W. S.G.A., declared that further deliberation was necessary because of the impromptu methods of discussion used in the short business meeting Miss Huff said that the regular business meeting was not long enough to permit full discussion, and the conference committee merely replaced the party caucus used by men politicians. The lack of strongly organized parties in women's politics eliminates the caucus.
NUMBER 89.
The resolution from the M.S.C. favoring the reorganization of the book exchange on a non-profit basis, backed by 2,008 petition signers, also was referred to a committee for investigation. The committee was instructed to investigate the amount of profits the book store made, the use that is being made of the profits at present, and the business methods of the exchange.
Members of the committee appointed by Miss Huff for this purpose are Jean Moyer, fine arts junior; Mary Louise Baker, college junior; and Jean Robertson, college senior. This committee will make a definite report on its findings at the next meeting of the W.S.G.A. on Thursday, Feb. 27.
The annual election of members of the W.S.G.A. will take place on March 13, the women legislators decided last night. All women who wish to run for office this spring (continued to page eight)
Jakosky Named As Consultant
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, has accepted the position of industrial consultant with the Kansas Industrial Development commission.
Jakosky will retain his position as dean at the University. He will not accept pay for his work with the commission, as state law forbids anyone from receiving pay from two state departments at the same time.
Several positions have been offered Jakosky since he assumed duties of dean at the University, but he has until now rejected them. Before coming to the University, he was president of an engineering corporation.
Jakosky is now in the East, visiting industrial promotion agencies and attending the annual convention of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. During his stay, he will attend conferences in Washington, D.C., regarding the defense courses now offered at the University.
Huddleston Heads PSGL Campaign
First indication that Hill politicians are priming their guns for the spring election came today with the announcement of Lee Huddleston's selection as campaign manager of the P.S.G.L. forces for the contest. Rowland Raup, president of the party, made the announcement. Huddleston, a business senior, at present is a P.S.G.L. representative on the M.S.C.
Raup Sets Distribution Date For Directory Supplement
March 1 has tentatively been set as the date when second semester supplements to the directory will be ready for distribution, according to Rowland Raup, editor.
Publication is being held up by the slowness of students in paying fees and in correcting addresses at the registrar's office.
Since the efficacy of the new influenza vaccine cannot be determined until all data is compiled, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, urged today that students send in their questionnaires immediately.
Urges Return Of Flu Blanks
Watkins Memorial hospital sent 850 cards to be filled out, to faculty members and students who took the vaccine and to 850 persons who did not take the vaccine. Data from the latter group will be used for comparison or as a control group.
Approximately two-thirds of the entire group have returned the cards.

Problems in the diplomatic relations between this country and Latin America will be discussed by Julius Philippi of Ottawa, at the regular meeting of the History Club at 3:30 o'clock in Frank Strong hall.

Advance sale tickets for the Sophomore Hop continue to go rapidly with 255 of the 750 limit remaining.
The new members were chosen by a panel composed of two Kansan Board members and the faculty of the department of journalism. This board, consisting of approximately 20 journalism majors and the faculty, is the governing body of the University Daily Kansan.
The Hop, featuring the music of Jan Savitt's band, is set for Saturday, Feb. 22. Tickets are now on sale at the University business office, the Union lounge, and Bell's music store for $2. In the event all tickets are not sold before the the dance, the remainder of the 750 block will be sold at the gate for $2.25.

$\textcircled{2}$ Approximately 1,800 people filled Hoch auditorium last night to hear and see Captain "Bob" Bartlett, well-known arctic explorer.
Kansan Board Adds Four Students To Governing Body
The film were taken by Bartlett on his trip to the northern tip of Greenland last summer. Accompanying him on this expedition were a group of boys from eastern prep schools.
The passes of members of the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. will be honored, Fred Littooy, varsity dance manager, said.
Captain Bartlett, "one of the saltiest characters ever to come to Lawrence" as introduced by Chancellor Deane W. Malott presented his film "The Arctic in Color" and gave a running account of the experiences as flashed on the screen.
Aluminum Representatives Interview Engineers
Representatives of the Aluminum Company of America, Pittsburgh, Pa., were here yesterday to interview seniors in mechanical, chemical, and metallurgical engineering. Five seniors in the department of mechanical engineering were invited to Pittsburgh for further interviews. They were Lester Tint, David Arnsberger, Wayne Wilson, Robert Hampel, and Herman Barkmann.
Dewey Gets 2-Year Term For Evasion
Alexander Dewey, former College freshman, was sentenced yesterday to two years in a reformatory on the charge of failing to register under the selective service act last fall.
The sentence, handed down by Federal Judge Richard J. Hopkins in Topeka, also recommended that Dewey be sent to the reformatory at El Reno, Okla.
When Dewey was arrested here last fall and entered a plea of guilty on Dec. 20, he was the first draft evader apprehended in Kansas. Hopkins Comments on Case
In his decision on the Dewey case, Judge Hopkins said:
"Before our peace and liberty were threatened, everyone had a right to discuss in private and in public the question whether the United States should prepare for defense. Everyone had the right to argue that there was no sufficient cause for alarm; that it would be wiser to wait until the aggressors actually were here. Everyone holding such views had the right to influence public opinion, and, if possible, affect the action of the President and the Congress to whom the people of the country by their Constitution have entrusted the

Propose Investigation Of Teachers' Lobby
Topeka, Kans., Feb. 19—(UP)—The senate today had before it a proposal to investigate the allegedly powerful lobby of the Kansas State Teachers Association.
Individual senators admitted, as they formed their lines for what many think may be one of the session's hottest battles, that the path of the resolution, which must pass both legislative houses, was strewn with thorns.
The proposal, introduced unexpectedly by Senator Wilfrid Cavaness, Chanute Republican, would create a committee of two senators and three representatives and give them $10,009 (continued to page eight)
