The Commerce party staged a sweeping comeback in the School of Business election yesterday to place three of their four candidates in offices. Bob McKay, b'40, Commerce candidate for president of the school, defeated Keith Schuerman, b'40, the Coalition nominee, by fourteen ballots in the relatively heavy voting of 158 to 144.
LeeRoy Peterson, b'40, defeated Merle Lindsey for the vice-presidency; Bille Waugh, b'40, won over Charles Yeomans, b'40, for the office of treacher of the School of Business; and, Marguerite Jones, b'40, the only woman nominee and the only Coalition candidate to win an office, defaced Rawligh Bowley, b'40, for the office of secretary.
Quiet Election
The election was quiet this year as compared with the one last year when evidences of alleged fraud were discovered. Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity, holds the Coition party and Delta Sigma Pi, is solid for the Commerce party. Last year the party elected all of its candidates in the election.
The seniors won both games in the highly touted baseball games with the juniors and the faculty.
Seniors Win Two
However, Corlis, and Hilt were the winning pitchers in both games. The faculty made a much better showing than the juniors against the powerful senior pitcher sitting. The faculty was defeated 7 to 2, and the faculty was defeated 7 to 2.
The faculty kept their pitcher "under
wraps" until just before the game when he was revealed to be
Frank Walee, c'39, well-known for his pitching in intramural baseball last year.

Speakers Clown At Formal Business Banque

And Lindley Talk in Light

On Program

By Geng Coleman, c'11
When toastmaster Stockton, dean of the School of Business, peered through the cigarette and cigar smoke to begin the speeches of the evening he tossed the dignity his position merits, and turned to pose light economy. He couldn't seem a "subtle dig", and jokes scurried from his lips, one on the tail of the other.
Chancellor Lindley, usually quiet and formal, didn't make a speech. Instead he conversed with the banquets. What his retirement plans are was the main point of interest. He announced that he plans to turn to research in developing some method of keeping his students awake when he comes back to the University to teach. Doctor Lindley expressed pride in the selection of the University's new Chancellor, Deane Malott. The new executive has been an active alumnus and knows the conditions of the entire state, he said.
Heinrich Visits Entomologists
"Recently, someone suggested to Deane Malet that he is young and will probably not wish to stay at the University very long. And in answer to this suggestion Deane Malet said: "If I'm good enough, I want to stay until I'm 65 years of age." Doctor Lindley related.
Forgets Subject
The only speaker who failed to talk on his subject was Dr. J. E Le Rossignol, dean of the School of Business at the University of Nebraska. Doctor Le Rossignol spent 20 minutes explaining why he felt so much at home "at the University of Kansas." And by the time that 20 minutes had elapsed, every student and professor at the banquet was completely won over by him. Dr. J. E Rossignol subject was "The Complete Business Man," but it took him 35 minutes to get around to it, and then he could only jokingly explain that he did have a "subject," but didn't think he would have time to talk about it.
The speaker took Isaac Walton's book. "The Complete Angler," to

- Next Year's Outlook Turns Toward Social, Cultural, Educational, Recreational Entertainment
Announcing a new and broad program for next year. John Dakson, c'40, last night became president of the Independent Student Association at a mass meeting in Frank Strong Auditorium. A new executive council of 10 members was also elected.
A verbal clash temporarily flared between LSA. factions of Hill political parties when independent students prepared to elect the new council. Political rivalry which electrified the last LSA, presidential election, however, was not present as Oakson was chosen.
Lifetime Member
Oakson has been business manager of the association since last fall and has served on the executive council from the organization's inception. He replaces Lou Folek, c. 30, who was awarded a life-time membership in the L.S.A. by unanimous vote.
From 17 candidates, the independents selected a new council of 10 members. Four members of the new council were also members of this year's executive board. Those re-elected were: Bill Vickers, c'40; David Whitney, c'42; Ruth Warren, c'40; Agen Muntner, c'40. Muntner was a candidate for the presidency of Kusty Knight. Members are: George "Gidge" Cline, c'42; Dotty Schroeter, c'42; Bob Bohlen, c'41; Charlotte Steel, fa'41; Earl Remy, c'41; and Adelle Woodside, c'42.
Goal Is 2.000
A new and extensive program for the next year was outlined by Oakson. "Next year's program will be not only social, but cultural, educational, and recreational," Oaksaun said.
Oakson stated that a membership of 2,000 was the organization's goal for next year. The campaign for new members will be carried out all through the summer months, mainly among new students. By next fall a completely new program will have been drafted and membership tickets will be sold as students register for the fall semester.
Semester Fee, $1.00
About next fall's membership drive Oakson said: "The organization now has a sufficient funds to carry on a good membership campaign." Counselman believe that the program will serve as a good basis the desired membership increase, it was indicated.
New councilmen will appoint two more members to the executive bureau next fall, it was decided last night. This provision will serve two purposes, Oakson explained. It will give freshmen a place in LSA leadership and will allow for the addition to the council of any student whose post-election work merits a council membership.
Membership rates in the J.S.A.
will be $1 a semester it was decided
at the meeting last night.
