Anderson To Present Organ Vespers Today

Prof. Anderson will offer a hundred-ninth vesper recital. A each year by the University School of Fine Arts.
The program for this afternoon is as follows: "Fantasia in C. minor," (Bach); "Aria," from Handel's twelfth Concerta; "Gavotte," from the twelfth Sonata by Martini; "Eklog," by Kramer; and "Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue," by Healy Willan.
The last number in this afternoon's concert is one of the largest of contemporary compositions for the organ. Although it follows the classical formula, this work has a definitely original and modern style.
Hill Parties In Frosh Vote Frenzy
With one of the most important freshman class elections in years coming up Thursday, two days after the national election, the two Hill political parties will reach a climax in their campaigns the early part of this week.
Both parties appear optimistic about their chances at the polls, as shown by the statements by the managers of the two campaigns:
"The Society of Pachacamac hopes that every independent freshman student will carefully weigh the statements made by both parties, and that every man will see fit to help Pachacamac regain responsible student government in the Men's Student Council," said Gene Whestone, c'sp, chairman of the Rising Sun's political campaign.
"We have a strong slate of candidates—one of the strongest in years, and we hope to put up as good a show as usual at the polls," said Roland Raup, c'41, president of the Progressive Student Government League.
P.S.G.L. Has Majority Now
At the present time P.S.G.L. has a one-vote majority in the M.S.C., and the party hopes to maintain it with the election of one of its two candidates to a freshman council representative post.
On the other hand, Pachacamac (continued to page three)

Two Chem Grads Accept New Jobs
Professor Brewster of the chemistry department announced yesterday that two graduates from the University had received jobs last week.
They are Lester Omstead, ma'40, who is now employed by the Western Cartridge Co., East Alton, Ill.; and Hollis Been, ma'40, now employed by the Government Aviation Service at Oxnard, Calif. Both men completed the work for their master of arts degree in chemistry last summer.
Weather
Forecast for east Kansas is continued warm and clear for the next few days.
Nicknames Confuse Officials
"Hya Butch" and "Hello Joe!" are sufficient identification on the campus, but it is profoundly, yes, even confounded, confusing to the student hospital officials, when their records say Charles Bloodsmith and Maxwellton Sidney.
Not only when students report to the hospital because of illness do these nicknames perturb officials, but intramural reports are full of them. Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, explained that, "The students should report their christened names, or if these do not look tough enough on an intramural report, they should register with George Foster as 'Spike' or 'Butch.'"
Besides nicknames that cause trouble, there is the problem of students not knowing hospital identification numbers.
Barr Speaks to Pharmacists
The Reverend Harold G. Barr, head of the School of Religion, spoke to the pharmacy students at their weekly convocation Thursday. His topic was "Three Corner Drugstores."
Order of Mephitis Public Insultants Band Together as 'Stinkers'
Public Panning is the first requirement for election into the "Stinkers" club.
A skunk with his tail erect was made the official pin, the colors black and white, and the official flower the stinkweed.
In fact, to be eligible for membership in the "AHOFCWP Order of Stinkers," a person must have been the object of "cruel, crude, and crass remarks from a definitely inferior student publication on the University* campus." who were selected
"Arriving Odors" (pledges) who were elected into the club by a unanimous vote were: Jean Brown, AFD, and Shirley Ruble, AFD.
Members of club are divided into "Immortal Odors," "Arriving Odors," and "Lingering Odors." One freelance odor is awarded each year to an "unrecognized actor of special merit."
David Watermulder, only remaining charter member (Immortal Stinker) AFD, says that the organization was founded Nov. 28, 1939, when "certain Thesians were given 'stinking awards' in the Kansan after a major play." Gordon Brigham, William Shipley, and Watermulder decided to organize a society of "Stinkers" to "recognize and protect Thesian ability."
"Lingering Odors" （ honorary ）
who were selected are: Bob Calderwood, AFD; Don Dixon, AFD; and Shirley Brigham, AFD.
The "Free-Lance Odor" was awarded to Marvin Moon, AFD.
One article of the club constitution declares that "any lingering odor going for two seasons without adverse criticism from the local press shall be fumigated and shall not re-stink until reinstalled."
David Watermulder, "civet," AFD, of the Lawrence chapter of "Reek No. 1 of Stinkers" said that three or four new members would be taken in sometime within the next month, but because of "the rigid rules of our constitution, 'few persons are eligible for membership.'"
Quoting Watermulder: "We sincerely appreciate the fact that the Kansan cooperated to the Nth degree in making all the "White Wings" cast eligible for election into our organization."
(Editor's Note: We're glad to have been of service.)

Six people hadn't turned in their collections at 10 o'clock yesterday. The drive is not expected to be completed on the Hill until Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Hill was divided into 21 districts with different professors appointed as collectors of the various divisions. The response has surprised and pleased those in charge
It is estimated that about $150 more will be turned in by the close of the drive.
Chest officials of the city were greatly encouraged Friday afternoon when the fund had reached $8,048.03. This left approximately $1,400 to be collected to reach the goal of $9,446.
