Third Crash Victim Near Death
Dust Off the Welcome Signs---Conventions Are Coming!!!!
By Ruth Tinupe, c.39 Forecast for the weekend of March 31: Mount Oread will be convention center. With two state associations and one national organization holding meetings and the W.S.G.A. making last minute plans for its national conference the following week, only the anti-social student will be leading an ordinary existence.
A meeting to suit everyone—that's the motto. Science for the intellectual—dancing and dinners for the social—that's the weekend's promise.
For the student whose biggest thrill in life is watching an amoeba wriggle or studying plant anatomy, the Kansas Academy of Science will
present a program of technical talks. Special features expected to interest the general student are illustrated lectures by Dr. Charles A. Shull, eminent plant physiologist from the University of Chicago and Dr. Laurence McKinley Gould, professor of geography and geology at Caretton College, Northfield, Minn.
Men with a yen for adventure are expected to crowd Hoch auditorium when Dr. Gould tells of "Exploring in the Antarctic," a talk based on his experiences with Byrd Antarctic Expedition to the South Pole, where he was second in command.

Opportunity for discovering what coeds from other sections of the country think about current issues in society be given when 250 women from schools all over the nation meet informally.

The organizations which scheduled conventions had no thought of the average coed's problem of getting an education while keeping up her social life. Sleep will suffer if University women keep up their date averages, class records and attend meetings from March 31 until April 5, when the W.S.G.A. national convention ends. But they should be prepared to participate in W.S.G.A. speakers on general problems to help them through any mid-semester. The program includes speeches by women engaged in po-

This year's senior class in the School of Education won't hear discussions of the smoking problem in high school, or what to do when John and Mary misbehave. The conference theme is serious and dignified. Meetings will deal with important administrative problems in the improvement of education in Kansas.
Problems discussed during the two-day period will be those brought up in most Hill-bull-fests. The date problem—how to get independent men and women acquainted, fraternity-independent relationships, scholastic helps for independents—all will be reached.

It will be a busy weekend and a busier week for every man and woman on Mount Oread. It's not entirely for conventions. For activities scheduled by professors are often the form of midwestern examinations.

Senate Approval Sends Measure To The Governor
NUMBER 116
New Regents Bill Is Passed
★ Gov. Payne Rather Likely To Sign Act It was as an Administration - Okayed Reorganization Bill
By a Kansan Staff Writer
By a Kansan Staff Writer
Topeka, March 18 - The senate-approved bill to recreate the state board of Regents as a nine-member body yesterday, passes the house by a vote of 80 to 12.
Since the bill was one of the administration-sanctioned reorganization bills, it is quite certain that Gov. Payne H. Ratner will fix his signature to it.
The bill to replace the present board of regents was approved easily over the opposition that was led by Rep. Max Jones (D-Sherman) who charged that it was a bill to step up state schools in politics.
Sullivan and Smith Lose To South Dakota Debaters
Other members of the board included: E. F. Beckner, Colby; Dr L. J. Beyler, Lyons; Maurice Breidental, Kansas City; Lester Mecoy, Garden City; Clarence Nevins Dodge City; Howard Payne, Olahe Dr. H. L. Snyder, Winfield; and Leslie Wallace, Larned.

Rep. Clarence Oakes (R-Montgomery) attempted to revive the Communism inquiry held by the board of regents last year at the University to oppose the measure. Rep. Jerry Moran investigated the investigation as a dead issue and immediately advanced the measure to a final vote.
Ralph T. O'Neil, present chairman of the board, was reappointed by former Gov. Alfred M. Landon in

Postage Stamp Students
Many of World's Nations Found In Correspondence Bureau
Every walk of life, every age, and many nations of the world are represented by over 2,000 students who are enrolled in the University of Kansas Correspondence Study Bureau, according to Miss Ruth Kenney, secretary of the Bureau.
Recently a letter was received from a missionary in Tenwik, Sotik, Kenya Colony, British East Africa. Although the letter had been sent by air mail special delivery and required $2.60 for postage, it was in the mail for 22 days. The lessons and books were sent to him at once, but it will be six to eight weeks before they will be delivered.
A young woman student of the Bureau, a short story writer and photographer's model, is pictured in one of the illustrations for a serial running currently in the Saturday Evening Post.
Many different foreign countries are represented in the list of students: Canal Zone, 1; Porto Rico, 2; Hawaii, 1; China, 6; Japan, 1; Mexico, 14; Philippines, 2; Virgin Islands, 1; West Indies, 1; Niuguaura, 1; New Guinea, 1; Kesangera, 9; Kenyama Colony, British East Africa, 9; and South America, 5.
Another new comer to the group is a graduate engineer now employed in Venezuela, South America. Since speaking Spanish is essential to him in his work, he enrolled in that study by correspondence. His
books and papers have been sent to him by air mail at a cost of $11 for postage.

- Rep. C. P. Oakes Tells the House 'New Deal' Board Use Influence To Quiet Investigation
Ry a. Kangan Staff Writer
By a Kansan Staat Write
Topkea, Kansas, March 18 - The charge that a new Deal Debt board questioned the radicalism of the University were made by Clarence P. Oakes in the House of Representatives yesterday.
These charges were brought up in connection with the arguments concerning the proposed legislation to reorganize the present Board of Regents. The bill, which provides for a new nine-member bi-partisan Board of Regents to replace the present board, placing under its jurisdiction four institutions now under the Board of Administration, is a Senate measure and the House action yesterday.
Reads a Henry Letter
Oakes read a letter from E. N. Henry, Dodge City, father of Domen Henry, the University student who was killed in the Loyalist army in Spain. Henry said he had been "specifically denied the privilege of revealing the contents of the real report made by the investigating committee to the Board of Regents." W. H. Shattuck of Clark answered Oakes by saying "The Board of Regiments is composed of high class men. It has nothing to do with radicalism at K U. or any other school. That radicalism is merely the radicalism of youth. I resent any insinuation that the new deal had anything to do with siffing the investigation or that ex-Governor Huxman ever had anything to do with siffing it."
