12 Women Enter Kansan-Life Valentine Race
★★
Will Be Pictured Tuesday; Only Men May Cast Ballots
An even dozen bevy of the Hill's most dazzling beauties got off to a flying start toward fame when the race for Valentine queen officially got under way at high noon yesterday.
Yes, twelve have been nominated, but as Willkie said, "the race is just beginning." Twelve women plus their backers, female and otherwise, will battle to a finish between now and Thursday—the day of reckoning—or balloting.
Chi Omega, of world-premier queen fame, led the field in announcing a candidates with Mary Kay Brown, college sophomore, the lucky gal. Close behind came Margaret Anne Summers, education teacher, who was entered Friday by Sigma Kappa.
Dorothy Hendrikson, fine arts senior, is representing Watkins hall.
Carrying the official backing of Kappa Alpha Theta, is Becky Trembly, college sophomore.
Additional Candidates
Marylouise Stout, college sophomore, is bearing the colors of Alpha Chi Omega, and Terry Morgan, college freshman, is the hope of Alpha Micron Pi.
Not to be outdone by its newness, Delta Gamma has come forth with a candidate of its own—Audene Fausett, fine arts junior.
Gamma Phi's candidate is Ada
Miller hall offers Barbara Smith, finer arts senior, for consideration. Alpha Delta Pi does likewise with Marilyn Duncan, fine arts sophomore.
Lee Fuller, fine arts senior. Another strong contender is Kappa Kappa Gamma's Helen Johnson, a college senior. Billie Giles, college freshman, is the Pi Phi entrant.
One of these glamorous lassies will be selected Valentine queen and have her picture published in Life magazine, but that isn't the
end of the contest. Life editors will take the stack of pictures—queens from campuses all over the nation—look at each one, and sigh. The lass whose picture inspires the deepest sigh will be awarded the title "Valentine Queen of America." Prize for Second Place
Winning second prize in a beauty contest is comparable to the baseball player who just misses the ball when he swings. But not so in this contest. The candidate garnering the second highest number of votes will receive $5 worth of tickets to
downtown theaters, courtesy * of Stan Schwann, general manager of the Lawrence theaters.
Even the freshman boy who has never attended a midweek will be able to vote for his "secret passion." All he has to do is survey the picture of the candidates, which will be printed in the Kansan, fill out his ballot (also in the Kansan), and hand it to a MSC or Kansan election officer in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thursday. Extra copies of ballot-containing Kansans may be obtained in the Kansas business office on the first floor of the Journalism building.
Ballot-counters will swing into action immediately after the election and the results will be announced between halves of the basketball game Thursday night.
Educators Have Busy Time Yesterday
Memorial Union lobby and ballroom was a scene of activity yesterday as nearly 300 delegates to the annual Educational Convention of Kansas Teachers transacted business, listened to speeches, and exchanged stories.
Highlights of the convention were addresses by W. T. Markham, state supervisor of occupational information and guidance, Topeka, and Dr. Harold C. Hunt, superintendent of schools, Kansas City, Mo.
A welcome speech by Deane W. Malott which opened the convention had as its theme, "Guidance and Counseling Programs in the Secondary Schools." Later, Dr. B. A. Nash, professor of education conducted a symposium for the examination of current guidance practices.
Other speakers were Armin Soph, vice-principal, Atchison High school; W. S. Davison, dean, Fort Scott Junior college; Mrs. Mable Stryker, director of vocational guidance, Parsons Junior college; and Francis Gregory, department of guidance, Wyandotte high school, Kansas City.
D. R. Lidikay, superintendent of schools, Bonner Springs, was chairman of a luncheon meeting held at 12:15 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
The second general session was opened by the chairman, Dr.J.H. Nelson, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, at p.m.
The program consisted of talks given by F. V. Bergman, principal of Manhattan High school and C. C. Hardy, principal of Hoisington High school. The conferences closed with a summary by Mr. Markham.
Members of the conference committee were C. B. Althaus, H. E. Chandler, and F. O. Russell, associate professors of education.
MSC Says Too Many Get Away
If you have paid a parking fine recently,you probably think the parking regulations are being enforced efficiently.The MSC doesn't, so in its meeting Tuesday night stronger measures will be introduced.
Two alternatives face the Council, Bill Farmer, president of MSC, said yesterday. One will be the selection of an MSC committee for checking illegally parked cars and reporting license numbers. The other will be to create a salaried position of checker-upper.
Another proposal—the establishment of a silver loving-cup as the Homecoming decorations prize—will also be considered Tuesday night.
Chancellor Leads Volunteers 579 Students Inoculated
Music Clinic Jam-Packed
By ED GARICH
The first annual Mid-Western Music Clinic is now a memory with a few lost chords still floating around in Hoch auditorium, but.
Howard Harms, supervisor of public school music at Seneca, and Larry David, supervisor of music in
from all reports, the meet was a huge success.
Take Tuberculin Tests
Urging Now
If better response to the food handlers' tuberculin testing program is not forthcoming in the near future, "coercion" will be substituted for "urging," Bob McKay, president of the Interfraternity Council, said yesterday.
Or Coercion Later
Jeanne Moyer, president of the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council, said that Pan-Hel recognizes the
need for testing; but its actions to date also have been in the "we urge you" stage. Future steps taken depend upon response of organized houses before the end of the semester.
No action by either of the councils has been taken on the influenza vaccinations. Cooperation so far has been adequate without council action.
Eskridge, both alumni of the University, seemed to voice the general attitude. Harma said, "the best help we supervisors get," and David added, "One of the finest things I've ever seen."
Everybody thought it should be continued in the future. Here High Hard One
Hoss High Hard One
Well, the boys and girls threw toothbrush and extra shirt in on top of the tuba or trumpet and went home late Saturday, but they heard some mighty good music before they did. Friday night probably had more good music per square ear than any evening in several moorts.
The University wound up and tossed the high hard one right across the platter Friday night in two top-flight programs. The first came after the supervisors' dinner in the Memorial Union ballroom, (continued to pane eight)

look for MUSIC CLINIC
Material used for the vaccine is a preparation made from chick embryos which have been inoculated with influenza virus.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott received one of the first shots of PR8, the new Rockefeller Institute influenza vaccine now being administered to volunteers at Watkins Memorial Hospital. At noon yesterday 579 students and faculty members had followed the Chancellor's example.
When Rockefeller Institute perfected the new vaccine, the University offered to assist in making a mass test of the promising discovery. Eager to give the vaccine a practical test, the Institute sent enough for 1,200 shots. Vaccinations have been made steadily from the time the vaccine was received here. In order to make the test comparative, one-half the members of each volunteering organization are being inoculated, the other half remaining as a control group.
Chick Embryos Used
Need for such a vaccine is evident from a study of the present case list of the hospital. Nineteen of the 51 patients are influenza victims.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said yesterday that students who recently have had "flu," have the "flu," have bad colds, or are sensitive to certain foods are not being given the test. The test is inaccurate when administered to these groups. Inoculation Simple
Inoculation Simple
The simpleness of the inoculation lends itself to mass-production vaccination. A needle is inserted in the volunteer's arm and he is hurried (continued to page eight)
