Record Vote Expected In Election
By Walt Meininger, c'40
★ Engineer Bolloting Split Into Social and Professional Fraternity Blocs
A heavy vote had been cast by noon today in the most hotly contested School of Engineering election in many years. Though there are three candidates for many of the 13 positions to be filled the election had boiled down to a fight between professional and social fraternities, each group sponsoring one man for each position.
In past years the elections have always been controlled by the three professional engineering fraternities Kappa Eta Kappa, Theta Tau and Alpha Delta. This has thwarted a control a group of candidates have banded together.
Oppose Dominant Groups
The three professional fraternities attempted to get themselves back in solid with independent engineers by publishing campaign literature. A new note had crept into their handbills for this election however; they were on the defensive. Independent students were warned against attending the campaign all of the candidates who had banded together to combat the professionals were listed with their social fraternity affiliations.
Party Lines Out
So the engineering election won't be a walk-away this year as it has been in the past. There's opposition to the lodges that have dominated it for year and its strong, organized composition.
The election, though smacking of the recent school-wide affair in its literature and fraternity blocks, has no connection with the P.S.G.L. and Pachacamac organizations. Among the social fraternity candidates are men from Beta and Sig Alph, well known for their P.S.G.L. affiliation; women from Kappa Sig, and Kappa Sig, and Sigma Nu, all long associated with Pachacamac.
Men are running on the same ticket that would be fighting against each other in a school-wide election Circulate Rumors
Betas were accused of attempting to control the election by some engineers today. No foundation for this rumor could be found except that the Beta's have a man up for president and have two men on the ticket, more than any other house in the social fraternity group.
ON THE SHIN
Jim Bounds, e40, was given an excellent chance for victory by some men spoken to from both parties. But George Ripley, e40, one of Bounds' warriors, had to beat with the professional faction still very strong behind him.

The Jachawker magazine which was issued today is notable for at least one thing. It displays the old belief that "e" is the most frequent used letter. John Raldhoff told us that Hillies uses capital "T" 36 time. Which gives the slender vowel an easy victory.
Campus Patrolman George Snyder is wearing a brand new ice cream suit and accessories. That is all, that is all.
Pi Phi juniors, alias "The Cellar Gang," entertained eight hoy friends last evening with a dinner at the house and a program dance from 7 to 8 in the Union ballroom. Music was furnished by Dyce Blyson's.

Nix on 'Hi George'
State Department Reveals How to Greet Royalty
Perhaps few University students will have the opportunity of meeting the king and queen of England during their visit to America but if the occasion does arise don't say, "Hi, George."
To greet them correctly, man should follow these rules which the state department is passing out:
The first bow should occur when six feet away. It should not be an ordinary bow, but low and from the heel to the knee, heels together and neck stiff.
Then the man should walk three feet forward and watch the king closely. If His Majesty holds out his hand, he can be killed but not as deep on the previous one.
Let the king speak first. The state department is reassuring about this point. Officials believe he probably will ask about the weather. The reply should be a general one and never personal.
It would be very bad taste, for instance to answer "Yes, it is hot. How
When presented to the queen, you bow all over again, and never, never—tays the state department—kiss her hand.
are you standing it?" or—"Does the humidity get you down?"
Sandelius Gets Leave of Absence; Will Study Abroad
Dr. W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, has been granted a leave of absence from the University for the first semester next year, and plans to go abroad with his wife, Marissa, to attend until February 1940 in Europe.
When ready to leave their Majesties, you bow again, and when you reach the door, there must be still another bow. No matter how many times you enter or leave the room, you bow at the door.
Professor Sandelius will study trends of international politics in the Baltic area during his stay in England and Scandinavia. If the international situation becomes too serious later in the summer to make the trip worthwhile, he will return to the United States and do writing and research in Washington, D.C., and at Columbia University.
Harry Swift, who will receive his master's degree in political science this June, will teach one section in American Government, and Hilden will teach one section in social science, will also take over one of Professor Sandelius' courses.
Dr. F. H. Guild, director of research for the Kansas Legislative Council, will offer a graduate seminar research in problems of government to be conducted partly in Topeka in connection with legislative activities there, and partly at the University. This course will be offered regularly hereafter in the department.
Authorized Parties--will have a biographical story of the eight chancellors, from R. W. Oliver to E. H. Lindley. Origin and development of the Hill's social and professional fraternities and sororites will be told in a section which will be called "Society and Activities." Student government and many other extracurricular activities will be treated historically.

Providing you should meet the king and queen in a crowded room, the state department cautions you to be sure that no chairs are behind you, because you must back away from their majesties.

Dream Home Must Wait; Iowa Farmer Loses His Money
Kansas City, Mo., May 11—(UP) A-74-year-old farmer started back on his Benton, In., home today to tell his wife that they would have to wait a while longer before buying "that little place in Missouri." He was there somewhere between Benton and Kansas City, while he was en route to Jefferson City, Mo., to visit a sister and look over available farms, he lost his wallet containing $1,800. The Woods sold their farm near Benton two weeks ago for $3,000. Left the other $1,140 with his wife.
Fairlax, Va., *Mary 11* (UP)—A blazer story of rivalry in love has unfolded by police today who accused one of two suitors of a pretty 19-year-old girl of trying to dispose of her husband killed by a speeding excuse, train.

More Midwestern Students Earn College Expenses
Douglas Goodhough, 27, a painter, was held without bond on a charge of assault and attempted murder on Blain Cupp, 22. WPA worker. Cupp joined the team to force him at pistol point to remain in a stalled automobile on an isolated grade crossing while a train approached at 80 miles an hour.
Cupp jumped from the car, however, because "I would rather be shot than mangled by a train."

- ✩ Survey of Working Conditions Shows Nearly Half In American School Hold Jobs
By Student Opinion Surveys
Austin, Texas, May 11—"Working
its way through college" has be-
come a much-applied phrase in
describing the typical American youth
tending one of the nation's fifteen
hundred institutions of higher
earning. And it is a well-founded
desperation, for nearly half of them
are doing just that.
A nation-wide study of economic conditions of college and university students has been conducted by the Student Opinion Surveys of the University of Pennsylvania. 47.2 per cent "work to part or all of their college expenses."
The student who goes through four years of classroom and laboratory routine and as a a sideline earns all his living expenses is not as common as the one who has a part-time job that merely supplements his allowance from home or a scholarship fund. Nevertheless, the surveys clearly point out that students in this country care enough about an education to high school to be willing to work for it.
One-Half Hold Jobs
Although not as many women as men hold jobs, more than one-third report that they perform some sort of work to aid their pocketbooks. Slightly less than 34 per cent of the co-eeds included in the representative sample taken answered "yes" to the question.<sup>19</sup>Do you work to pay all or part of your college expenses?<sup>20</sup>
Midwest Leads
Students in the central states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota—appear to have either the most ambition or the greatest need. In this section there are 62 students, 54 per cent of working students, 54 per cent Of these 62 per cent are men and 11 per cent are women.
New Englanders seem to be better off when it comes to receiving the monthly checks from home. Only three out of every ten men work in other sectors, so perform some work while in college. Other sections of the country all between these two extremes.
**Variety of Tasks**
There are collegians who sweep halls of learning for their spending money. Others wait on tables or act as clerks in stores for their meals. The smarter ones coach and even write papers for their classmates at handsome rates. A Texas undergraduate has developed a "night mail service." Alongside the U.S. mailboxes he set up his own. For five cents he will get your late letters to the trains at hours when Uncle Sam's mailmen are home aline. Thousands receive NYA aid. Colleges and universities employ a great many assistants and library pages. The variety of student occupations is staggering.
De Ford to Head Military Frat
The following officers for the coming year were elected at a meeting of G company, 4th regiment of Scabbard and Blade, national honorary military fraternity, last night in the Memorial Union building; Don De Ford, c'40, Captain; Theo Cotter, c'39, Lieutenant; Ebon Hiller, c'39, Second Lieutenant; and Rex R. Sage, c'40, First Sergeant.
Technical Sgt. Kollender was chosen by the company to act as liaison officer during the summer months.
Robert Marietta, €40, was chosen to form a provisional company of the fraternity at the Coast Artillery camp at Port Sheridan this summer and to form a similar company at the Inland Camps at Fort Leavenworth.

Four special sections will cover all aspects of the University's history. A fifth section will contain the usual Campus news."
Story of Schools
The Daily Kansan will publish the largest edition in its history as its contribution to the three-year celebration of the University's Seventy-Fifth Anniversary, Marvin Goebel, c'39, chairman of the Kansan Board announced today.
The Anniversary paper, a 36-page record of personalities, events and organizations on Mount Oread, will be issued Sunday, May 28. Goebel said work on the edition has been going on for more than a month but that the Board deferred the announcement of its publication until definite plans were known.
The history of Jayhawker sports will be related in an eight-page section. Feature article of this division will be announcement of the results of a poll of sports editors to determine the school's greatest all-time athlete. Accounts of the development of major and minor sports and biographies of leading Jayhawker athletes will be included.
Departments and divisions is the general subject of a section which will undertake to tell the story of the University's nine schools. In addition the section $ ^{\circ} $
"We believe our historical edition will be the first account of the story of the University of Kansas ever published," Goebel said. "It not only will tell how the school was founded, but will also treat countless supplementary events and activities which a mere history could not undertake to include. The edition is being made possible by advertisements of authors and students in the organizations and by students in the department of journalism who are giving their time, without credit, to the preparation of it."
The fourth special section will be made up entirely of pictures. Although other sections will be illustrated profusely, Goebel said many interesting pictures of University personalities and events—particularly in its early years, could not be used with the stories because of space these pictures will be included in the special section.

In the eyes of Prof. F. E. Kester, head of the department of physics, several spokesmen at the national chamber of commerce meeting held recently in Washington stuck their necks out when they attempted to defend America's trade in the Orient.
The speakers declared, according to the Associated Press story in the "Kansas City Times," that the United States "should protect a one-billion dollar - n - year market in Chia and the Philippines, at the risk of war with Japan, if necessary."
Kester answered the declaration by adding three pertinent questions to the clipping and placed them on the bulletin board in Blake hall.
2. "How many of these will be chosen from the above spokesmen?"
3. "What are you worth?"
1. "How many young men should be spent to protect one billion dollars?"
The clipping attracted so much attention that it has been moved to the library bulletin board.

Prof. Cady To Speak On Electrical Energy
According to all the standard treatises on electricity, no such thing as an absolute zero *f* potential exists. Professor Cady has performed experiments, an anbs worked out a theory which leads him to believe that there is an absolute zero of potential.
To back up his "radical" theory, Professor Cady will demonstrate one of his pieces of research equipment which it is said defies the "firmly established" laws of electricity.
Everyone interested is invited to be present.
