Stake Claims Early-by jimmy robertson
Dr. Canuteson Beseeches All To Check Up On Lost Articles
Everything from bathrobes to class rings have been left in the Watkins Memorial hospital, and Dr. R. I. Camaneton, director of the student health service, heartily wishes the students would claim their possessions.
"No one ever leaves anything valuable," complained Doctor Camtenese. "However there is one class ring which has been here for about eight years, and another ring was left here recently. I also have a gold music ring in my back booth, which is of no use to me."
A good bathrobe has been waiting for its owner three months. An overnight bag is pining away in the basement of the hospital. One shoe is collecting dust waiting for its master's foot. A fancy blue satin nightgown is lying forlornly on a shelf in the basement.
There are gloves, keys, school books, note books, wool skirts, pajamas, nightgowns, fountain pens, all waiting patiently.
ON THE SHIN
"The things students come for are never in the hospital and our collection of lost and strayed possessions is one of the most extensive," added Doctor Canuteso.

Beta Dan Hamilton, just returned from a Florida vacation, in peeling profession as a result of too much tropical-temp rain. Not that this has anything to do with it, but it isn't the time of the year when snakes shed their skins?
When a columnist runs out of things past to write about, he frequently tries to things future in an effort to fill space. So dearness of becoming famous as a soothsayer, He Shinaster predicts that; Theta Betty Martin will be Queen of the Relays and that she will have as her attendants, Chi Omega Virginia Beverly plus Kappa's Betty Bell. Howsome, to be more sure of mentioning at least one of the selected perhaps it is well to add that Gamma Phi Virginia Apple and Pi Phi Mary Jane McCoy are likewise potential queens.
Only 10 More Days Until Kansas Relays
Five - Point Platform For P.S.G.J.
★ One Plank Pledges Aid To I.S.A.; the Party Is Favoring More Business School Classrooms
Applications for Practice Teaching Are Due
A five-point platform that contains a plank promising financial aid to the Independent Student Association was announced last night by the Progressive Student Government League.
Students wishing to enter practice teaching in the fall semester of next year at Oread Training School should make application at the School of Education office, it was announced today.
Featuring the mile run with Glenn Cunningham and "Chuck" Fenske.
The party also added to their ticket by announcing the revised Junior class slate. The revision was made necessary when Frank Bukaty, ed'41, abandoned the P.S.G.L. ticket to take a candidacy on the Pachacame list.
The platform on which the P.S.G.L. will stake its political fortune is as follows:
1. Independent Student Association. PS.GL enters with hearty accord into the aim of the ISA. to provide a greater social life for independent students. PS.GL pledges itself to practical recognition of the ISA. in the form of substantial financial support from the MSC.
Students wishing to teach art or music in city schools, whether teaching at present or not, should also fill out applications. *
II. Placement Bureau PSG.L proposes to set up under the auspices of the University administration an all-university employment agency for jobs both after graduation and during summer vacation.
III. School of Business. A P.S.G.L.CL council will exert the necessary pressure on the administration to prosecute the students in classroom classrooms in Frank Strong hall.
IV. Engineering Exposition. P.S.G.L. believes wholeheartedly in the value and purposes of the Engineering Exposition. P.S.G.L. will make every effort to put it on the University budget instead of drawing the funds from the activity fee which must come from the pocket of every student whether he is interested or not.
V. Cooperative Bookstore. P.S.G. l plans for a co-op bookstore two years ago stopped just short of fruition when checked by the Board of Regents. Now that the legislature has created a new Board, P.S.G.L. has created the new Regents to permit the setting up of the cooperative bookstore.
C. S. Mullen, c39, P.S.GL. presidient candidate for the MSC., praised his party's platform by stating: "The platform which P.S.GL presents to the men of the University is one which can and will be fulfilled. Our placement bureau is sorely needed and is a timely suggestion. It can go far in helping student make contacts for temporary and permanent employment. The day of promises is past. P.S.GL has—and always will—challenge the cause of progressive student government. Our platform is a further step in this direction."
The League's candidates for junior class officers are: president, Jim Burdge, c'41; treasurer, Sidney Sklar, c'41; dance mangers, Jim Fleming, c'41, and Lee Huddleston, c'41.

Goldfishers Announces A Platform
(Continued on page three)
- Ramsey Faction Hits at Free Passes for Members Of M.S.C. and W.S.G.A.; He Would Import Girls
Goldfish Bam Ramsay, who last week started Hill politicians, by announcing his candidacy for president, told CNN today made public his platform
Ramsey said he might consider the offer of Jim Robertson, c'40 Kanian columnist, to become a Goldfish candidate for college representative. Ramsey said, "I don't mind it." Robertson through the mire with me.
The Goldfish platform:
1. Abolition of passes for all political deadheads including MSC, and W.S.G.A. members. This would give the varivari dances a chance to surprise everyone, and give the dance manager a chance to bring in some big name bards.
2. Better parking facilities on the campus.
3. Keep Kansas girls in Kansas and import a few if possible.
4. Extension of closing hours for University women to give them a chance to compete against non-coeds.
5. Support any activity which would bring favorable publicity to the University. If our football teams lose in a game, our games maybe our goldfish can.
6. No house to house cavanvassing during the campaign. This will save both the student's and my manager's time.
Ramsay explained the first plank of his platform. "Apparently my opponents were afraid to come out for the abolition of passes for purely selfish reasons," he said. "Personally I think Hill dances could be successful if some of the politicians would think about the student body a little more, and their own bodies little less."
Ramsay, a former magician, promises to pull a few fast ones before the campaign is over. He has even promised to put on a display of his magical prowess for his friends at the Granada theater.

Rising Sun Group Names 30 Men On Election Slate
- FLOYD Kelly, Pachacamac President, Says Men Were 'Carefully Selected'; the Organization Adds a Point to Platform Previously Made Public; Details Now Complete
Preyer's Sonata Wins First Place
★ Takes Top Honors in National Federation of Music Clubs Contest
The Pachacamac party completed the details of its campaign program with the announcement today of a ticket to support John Oakson, c'40, their presidential candidate for the Men's Student Council.
Prot. Carl A. Preyer, head of the piano department in the School of Fine Arts, received word this morning that his "Sonata in E Flat Major" which he composed last summer at his cottage in Green Mountain Falls, Colo., was awarded first place in the national contest sponsored by the National Federation of Music Clubs. Judges for the compositions were: Aaron Copland, Howard Barlow Charles Haubiel, and Modesto Altoe
Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley, chairman of the legislative committee of the Federation, wrote the letter advising Professor Preyer of the award. Mrs. Kelley, with her husband, Edgar Stillman Kelley, were guests at the University last spring when the Lawrence Choral Union presented Mr. Kelley's "Pilgrim's Progress" in Hoch Auditorium.
It is expected that the composition will be played over the radio networks in the near future and some sort of monetary award made. Winning contests is not new to Professor Preyer. In 1932 he won the State Federation of Music Clubs and was subsequently submitted. Before that he had won several state and national composer's contests.
Professor Preyer will retire this year as head of the piano department which he has headed for 46 years. On July 28, the professor will be 76 years. He was born in Germany in 1863. Studying at the Stuttgart Conservatory of Music and later under Doctor Navratil of Vienna, he came to America at the age of 24 and began his musical career at Baker University at Baldwin, later coming to the University.
Named in Vice Probe, Kills Self
Earrington, Ill., April 12—(UP) AUTHORITIES believed today that William Humbracht, 41, an ex-convict who committed suicide last night, ended his life to avoid prosecution in an investigation of vice conditions at the University of Illinois.
He was indicted only last Satur day by a federal grand jury at Champaign, home of the university, on a Mann Act charge. He also was under indictment with five other persons in a county investigation resulting from the slaying of a University sophomore Feb. 16.
Malott Visit Is Conversation Topic
Mount Oread today buzzed with talk about Demo Waldo Malott, 21, Chancellor-elect. Corridor conversation and between class gossip fell into two 'classifications, depending on the speakers were men or women.
When men got together, the new Chancellor also was the important topic but there was a touch of envy in the voices of Campus Romeo.
In the words of the coeds there w:s. a note of excitement for the tall, handsome successor to Chancellor E. H. Lindley very definitely can cause feminine hearts to flutter at a glance. And while it spread the news that youthful Professor Mallet is happily married and the father of three children.
It might seem, then, that the student impression of Deane Malott is entirely visual. That is true because only a few had the opportunity of meeting the University's new ad-journalist, two more caught a glimmer of him.
Chancellor-elect Malott's visit was brief. A heavy schedule of appearances in Topoku, Lawrence and Harvey, and a visit to Harvard professor only an hour on
the Campus. And he had a day's work to do.
First of all there were introductions to members of the faculty. Some of the University professors who crowded into the Graduate School office for the reception had Malot in their classes when he was a student here. Others were cacatesm.
Professor Malott was accompanied by an official party including members of the Board of Regents and of the Alumni association committee which co-operated in the search for a new Chancellor.
When greetings had been exchanged all around, Connell Linderd stepped forward to welcome his successor. The group then moved into Dr. Linderd's office. Here photographs took command. Chancellor-designate Molt posed with Doctor Lindley. He posed with anuml. He posed with members of the Board of Regents. Flash appeared.
Where the picture friends left off, reporters began. Professor Mahlot sat at a long table with the news-papermen. He said he didn't know

Engineering Class Visits Oil Fields
The' junior class of the petroleum engineering department of the University, under the direction of Dr. E. A. Stephenson, took a trip, durc vacation, to inspect the oil and gas fields of west-central Kansas.
One of the companies aiding the students was the International Gophysical Institution of which Dr. Jakowsky, a university graduate, is president. Frank Liscum, e'38, and Lyman Terry, e'38, who are now employed by that concern, helped the class with echo-meter tests which were to determine the productivity of certain oil wells.
Other companies which assisted he class was the Northern Natural Gas company, the Indian Territory Illuminating company, and the Gulf Oil corporation. U. S. Bureau of dines also cooperated.
The class ended their trip by visiting the salt water disposal plant of the Gulf Oil corporation. The party was taken through the corporation laboratory, warehouse, and field offices where it was able to view the central plants of oil and gas field development work.
