Communist Uprising Quelled In Madrid
- Republican Troops Take Drastic Action Against Mutincers Opposing the 'Peace With Honor'
Madirid, Moreh 8- (UP)-General Jose Mijahe's veteran republican troops smashed a communist army rebellion in Madrid today and took drastic measures against mutineers opposing the "peace with honor" program of the new republician defense council.
On the fourth day of rebellion and counter-rebellion within the hard-pressed republican regime, the government announced that communist units which rebelled in the Madrid region were under the face of an ultimatum by Miaja.
Without indicating exactly how long France would wait for response to his demand for unconditional surrender by the Republic, the radio announcer said that within the last 24 hours a vast number of tanks, automobiles trucks, and troops had been concentrated on the Madrid front.
The roads from Burges to Madrid are clogged with troops and war materials, he said, in preparation for the "greatest offensive of the war."
Communist-led units opposing the defense council's program for peace negotiations with Nationalist General Francisco Franco continued to defy the authority of the defense council in some seeters, however, including Ciudad Real, south of Toledo. Meanwhile the nationalist radio announcer at France's Burgos headquarters reported that a great nationalist offensive against Madrid was "imminent."
Rites For Campus Postman Thursday
Funeral services for Frank V. Phillips, campus mail carrier, will be held Thursday afternoon at 230 10th Street; burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1930
Phillips died yesterday morning at 9:30. He was 75 years old and had been a mail carrier for the University since 1260. He carried all of the mail for the campus until 1917, when failings health made it necessary for the university mail service to be divided into two sections, U.S. mail and campus mail. From then on, campus mail was the main mail. He was known on the Hill to many of the professors to whom he delivered mail.
He is survived by his wife Beaty Wood Phillips, a son, Howard Phillip, both of the home and a sister Mary Phillips, of Oak Grove, Mo.

The invitations are usually given out by each house in order of seniority of the members. Those that have lived in the house the longest are given first choice for the date bids. This year special invitations are being allowed each house for a limited number of inactive members.

Very few co-eds apart from organized house aspirants had the initiative to apply for five senior women interviewed politicelites two weeks ago.

Gray Withdraws
Wilson Favored to Win
Her opponent, Marie Norton of Sigma Kappa, was placed on the ballot by the council. Wilson is the present treasurer of the W.S.G.A. council, prominent in Hill activities and an honor student.
Disinterested co-ed forecasters—if such there be—were predicting a landslide victory for the Gamma Phi - Theta Pi Phi machine, defending champions and perennial winners. The rival organization, embracing Chi Omega, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and all other sororities and independents, was given less chance of success than a boxing opponent of Joe Louis.
The race for president of the W.S. G.A. council holds the spotlight with Velma Wilson, ex-Corbin Hallette who placed the Pdi Pi, an overwhelming favorite to succeed Theta Gevene Landrith in the position. Wilson has the backing of the组合 and is one of the few players and Gamma Pi Betu, Kappa Alpha Theta, Corbin hall, Watkins hall and Miller hall.

Because of a mix-up in the technicalities of nominating the candidates, Maurine Gray, Kappa, was announced as an aspirant to the office of secretary of the W.S.G.A. council. Gray, who had been scheduled to seek the treasurer post, has withdraw.
Twenty-five women are on the balloon as compared to 32 last spring. Four are not members of a sorority or of an organization house; and two of these are supported by the uncles and one by the top-dog combine.

Four Students End Kansan Contest With Perfect Score
Although the W.S.G.A. council recently removed the constitutional restrictions on combines, the women are preserving their former system by
Four students tied for first place in the last week of competition in the short-lived University Daily Kansan-Lawrence Merchants' $700 Awards contest. The contest was discontinued yesterday.
The following students won $12 in merchandise, each piling up perfect scores of 153 votes. Clayton Conner, b'39, Bill Conroy, c'40, Harold Cook, '42, and Dave Watermurphy, c'42, Charles Arthur, b'39, and Charlie Hay, fa'39, tied for second place with 150 votes each, both winning $8 in merchandise. Dave Shirk won thirteen awards and Cornelius H Krause won fourth prize and received $3 in merchandise. Awards were made from the stage of the Granada theater Tuesday night.
The following merchants were registered sponsors of the Kansan contest, each subscribing $3 in merchandise each week to insure the success of the content. Armstrong Instruments, Bell Brothers Book, Book Nook, Burger's Shoe Shop, Carl's Clothier, Carter's Service Station, Cools' Ready to
Wear, Dickson theater, Fritz Company, Gustafson College Jeweler, Haynes and Keene Shoe Store, Independent Laundry, Kansas Electric Power, Montgomery Ward and company, Ober's Royal College Shop, Motor Inn, Shimmon's Shop, Stowits Rexall Drugs, Ward's Flower Shop, Weaver's, and Winter Chevrolet.
Entrants in the contest praised the fairness, fun, and profit of the first week's competition, Edwin Browne, gr business manager of the Kansan said. Following the setting up of the contest, Browne added, the idea was submitted by Stan Schwan, manager of the Granada theater, in competition with 72 other ideas of other theatre shows, in a contest held among 40 theaters. The Kansas contest idea won first prize.
Browne said, "The Kanan regrets to discontinue a contest which was so worthwhile for students, but an essential factor in the success of a contest is intrinsic. Student support did not warrant its continuation."
Last year, with less than a third of the University', students voting, 276 ballots ww.3 cast, the largest number since 558 exercised their collegiate citizenship in 1919. Organized houses won a sweeping victory in 1958, electing 12 of the 13 offices.

On the other hand, the co-eds had dodged a constitutional provision against combines and campaigning until this year. With the forbidding clause no longer in the rule book, the conscience of the woman politician will be clear.
