Pachacamac Names Slate For Election
Sides were almost chosen today for the coming spring election when Society of Pachacamac announced its slate of candidates to support presidential nominee Bob McKay, b'40.
The Pachacamaca slate is incomplete yet, Seth Gray, b'41, Society president, explained because final decisions on nominees from District I have not been made. District I includes the School of Law, the Graduate School, and the School of Medicine. Gray said he believed the three nominees from this district would be announced tomorrow.
When complete, the Pachacamac slate will include 25 men, 6 running for class offices and 20 for positions on the Men's Student Council. The men are both independent and fraternity students, Gray said, and are "equally representative of both groups."
Progressive Student Government League, opposition party, said today that its complete slate would be ready later in the week. The League yesterday named Bill Farmer, '141, to head its campaign this year.

Fugitt-Elledge Sweep Tourney
LeRoy Fugitt, gr, and Russell Eileedge, c'41, won the Union bridge tournament last night with a total of $13\frac{1}{2}$ match points. Because of a tie for second place between the Clarence Miller, c'43, and Malcolm Miller, c'42, team and the Dan O'Shea, c'40, and Jim Morris, c'41, team, the couples drew cards to decide who would receive second place recognition. The Miller brothers won the draw. Medals for first and second place will be awarded. Winford Ferry, e'40, tournament manager, supervised the play.
- When the doughboys went to France some years ago they had brass bands and waving flags and kissable girls to sing "Over There" and send them off to battle.
If you didn't get to see that sight, just come around to Robinson gymnasium at 10:20 tomorrow morning and you'll get an idea of what it was like.
There'll be a good pep band on hand, says Waugh, and lots of brass. The doughboys will have nothing on us. So when the team leaves toorrow night to do battle with the Hoosier Hot Shots there should be plenty of flag-waving and song-singing to back them.
Head Cheerleader Kaw Waugh today got wind of the fact that Phog Allen's Jayhawkers were now "Best in the West" and decided that this was no place to stop. So he drew a few influential persons together and the result was a celebration which Waugh claims will warm the hearts of the Kansas cagers.
But in case you're forgetful here it is again: the time, 10:20; the place, Robinson gymnasium; the event—BEAT INDIANA!

Fraternities and sororities indicated today that the Kansan popularity contest to select escorts for the stars at the world permeire of "Dark Command" April 4, would be a dog fight from the start.
Three fraternities and one sorority indicated favorite sons. So far, the coed side of the contest remains more or less in the dark. It is said that sorcerites are dickering for votes and will release their candidates tomorrow. Chi Omega is rumored to be sponsoring Virginia Ford, c'43, for the honor.
Popularity Contest Off To Fast Start
Phi Kappa Psi announced Walter "Sunny" Jones, c'42, as its candidate. Kappa Sigma put out Howard Engleman, c'41 and Basketball Captain Dick Harp is the S.A.E. choice. Pi Beta Phi, traditionally a power in this sort of contest, is pushing Bill O'Shea, c'40. D.U.'s man, Bill Koester, c'41, was forced to withdraw because of his staff position on the Kansan.
Votes trickled in all day, but no heavy balloting is expected until the weekend when the fraternal group will put on the pressure.
Ivan Cain, c'40, is the only independent candidate entered to date.
Ballots are on page 7 of today's Kansan. When filled out and signed, they will be received in the Kansan newsroom.
