Kansan Comment
Combines Gather W.S.G.A. Offices
University women do not officially belong to political parties. But don't think that political convining behind the scenes of next Thursday's W.S.G.A, cionction does not exist.
Every year, a few weeks before the spring election, representatives of the various houses get together and decide whom their houses will back. The representatives haggle over the council positions, each one presenting her house's best bet, until the positions are parceled out and everyone is moderately satisfied.
This year there are two such combines. One is composed of sororites and women's dormitories, and the other is made entirely of sororites. The two lists of candidates are fairly evenly-matched. Fifteen of the twenty-five candidates are members of Greek organizations; five are from women's dormitories, and five are independents not affiliated with a combine.
Occasionally a strong candidate not backed by a combine is elected. Her chances are slim, however, unless she campaigns vigorously among the independent voters of the University.
Unlike the men's political organizations of the University the women's combines have no platforms on which they campaign. Their sole purpose for existence is to elect members of the houses of the combine. After the new officials are installed the pre-election groups dissolve until the next election comes along. Of course, the council members, in the course of W.S.G.A. activity, will retain the views and attitudes of the groups to which they belong and will act accordingly.
The majority of women students are not members of combine-backed houses. Unfortunately, few of these women have the initiative or are sufficiently politically minded to present themselves to the election committee as candidates. A number of independent women do not even bother to vote on election day. Thus the combines are able to control nearly all of the council positions.
To keep the W.S.G.A. a little more well-balanced, independent girls who are not taking a direct part in the administration of women's problems through the W.S.G.A. should be more active before election in presenting and supporting their own candidates.
'Death Shall Come . . . '
To Tut's Tomb Touchers
Superstition is rife even in our modern scientific world—as the death of Howard Carter, noted English archaeologist, will prove.
Mr. Carter was one of the discoverers of King Tutankhamen's tomb. And now, sixteen years later, surprisingly enough, he has died. Wiseacres will immediately suggest some connection between the death and the famed Pharaohs' curse: "Death shall come on swift wings to that touchhe the tomb of Pharaoh."
Tut, tut, tut.
Nearly twenty persons connected with the discovery of old King Tut's tomb have died in recent years. A recent report by a life insurance statistician states that the death of those who opened the tomb came abnormally soon—about ten years before their ordinary life expectancy. The curse of the Pharaohs hold, they will tell us. "Look at those who opened King Tut's tomb!"
England and France have finally recognized Franco. The question is now whether or not the recognition was too-Franco.
Heroes Are Out-of-Date
The Loyalists of Spain should realize that the age of Don Quixote and miracles is over, and surrender.
While there may be much of the grandeur and heroie in such a battle, grandeur and heroism are useless qualities in today's world. Realism is its keynote. And viewed through the realistic eyes, the Loyalists' stand is not grand nor heroic, but simply silly. Man is not made to be heroie in wars fought by machines. In the days of yore, individual courage may have counted for something, but now it is all tomyrotr--silly, suicidal tommyrot.
Admittedly surrender is a difficult pill for the Loyalists to swallow. It is hard for anyone to concede that his struggle was in vain. But to save lives that would otherwise be lost in useless battle, they should come to an agreement with Franco even though the only terms he will take are unconditional surrender of all. After all, Franco did win the war and to the victors belong the terms. The Unionist army under Grant continued its drive until the confederates surrendered unconditionally.
Surrender will be hard. But it is the only smart and realistic thing for the Loyalist government to do.

Unsantitary Practices in Flu Epidemic Editor. Daily Kangaroo;
The hospital has the largest "enrollment" in its history, and K. U. experiencing one of the most wide-open spaces. It is important that it significant that in the past two weeks several of the waiters in two of the Hill's restaurants have had the but but continue working. It doesn't take a lot of time for them to spread germs may spread germs to his customers. Perhaps before the day of Louis Pasteur there was an excuse for such a thing, but today surely we should prevent such an event.
OUNCE OF PREVENTION
*Charabelle*—the Pi K. A.'s Reals
Editor Daily: Kansas
Thursday in the Daily Kansas, the Pi K, A's were subjected to undue slander by David Holmes, Don Estes, Samuel Iwig and Bill Gilstrap (their names are mentioned because this will probably be the last time they will ever be brought before the public). The woman is alleged the stealing of their snow-woman, Charabelle.
The four alleged that the Pi K. A.'s induced the thief to steal his car from the store, snow maiden, and gave her the name of "Dream Girl" of Pi Kappa Alpha." The Pi K. A.'s admit that they christened her 'the dream girl,' but she was not thieves.
In the allied letter to the Pi K. A's which, incidently, the Pi K. A's never received, the four playful attempts of the Oreaden apology for this ruthless set. And the four fraternity men an inking of the devotion which the boys at 1225 Oread and for their maden, they would have passed over with the four modern "Pygmalians" to draw for the lady's hand.
Incidently, anyone who charges an organization with slander because of the action of a few of its members were acting with the concensus of the organization, as they were not in this case.
K's K is feel that no apology is due the boy at 1235. It's felt that no apology is due the boy at 1235. It feels that no apology is due the boy at 1235. It feels that no apology is due the boy at 1235. It feels that no apology is due the boy at 1235. It feels that no apology is due the boy at 1235. It feels that no apology is due the boy at 1235.

Watkins, Miller Girls Receive Triple Education
Similarly all play and no work makes dill a dull girl. But the Miller and Watkins' hall girls combine to play to get a raleigh education, and play to get a raleigh education.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
By Shirley Smith, c'39
Prepare Own Breakfast
The women get their own breakfast, while the other meals are divided among the women. Each prepares one lunch and one dinner during the week, and Sunday dinner wery six weeks.
To the casual observer their home looks like any security or rooming house. In the living room my afternoon are several girls gossiping in friendly groups or curled up in a chair with a book. The atmosphere upstairs is also found to be accepted for doors open, revealing rooms where the girls are sleeping, dressing or studying.
The basement floor of the building presents an interesting arrangement. It is divided into 11 rooms, seven combination dining rooms and kitchenettes, a laundry room, a general kitchen, a general room and a storage room. The women are divided into groups of six in four of the kitchenettes and five in the remaining three rooms. Each kitchenette has a rooftop cupboard and work table with shelves for a table and chairs. The chinaware has a beautiful pattern selected by Mrs. Watkins.
Everyone washes and dishes twice during the week. A list of "who has which duty" is posted at the beginning of the week. It would seem that if you couldn't cook you would be out of luck, but the Wattkins girls admit that if you don't know how you soon learn.
At the beginning of the year the stable foodstuffs are ordered from a wholesale house in Kansas City. Each group in the individual kitchenettes selects which foods it wants and the ordered food is kept in separate lockers in the stairroom. Each group have orders with a milkman, a breadman and a separate account at a grocery store. The average monthly food bill is about $2 or $10 for each girl.
Roll Out For Duty
notes'n discords
by John Randolph Tye
Saturday is "Clean-up day" for the kitchen. It is divided into six units to be cleaned from top to bottom. The girls take pride in keeping the kitchen spick and span. Iceboxes are defrosted, cupboards are cleaned, and other clean-up duties performed
At seven o'clock in the morning a general alarm is wounded and the women sleeping on two porches in double-bunk. Single beds, pile out to do a daily duty. Some of the duties are: sweep, dwtop and mop the hall; clean the living room; scrub the bathroom; make the beds. One girl the laundry and put it in the linen and put it in the locks and light up each night. Two girls inspect the entire house after the duties are finished each morning. If they are not done correctly the women responsible is reprimanded and she him to do her job again to the complete satisfaction of the inspector.
Out of all the praise for Count Basie there was only one discordant note. It came from the young man who said Basie must have been a Duke for he certainly was no count.
It is to be hoped that something comes of the attempt to hold future class parties in Hoch auditorium instead of the Union building. At least there would be room to dance.
One of the requirements to live in either Watkins or Miller hall is that the woman be partially or entirely self-supporting. For this reason all of the girls have jobs about the campus or town earning the greater portion of the money that they have to spend for food. Room, heat, light are included in the moderate rent package done as intended to cover supplies and the cost of social events. The halls hold three formal dances during the school year, and entertain with an hour dance every two weeks.
The shifts are rotated after nine weeks.
Hailee has many other suggestions and comments on impractically any subject you can mention, but for example, she likes to say as it may be, this is a family journal.
--meeting of the ouncil last week.
The permanent council is to constis
of a representative from the
W.S.G.A., the Men's Student Council,
the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A, and

of the previous year. This group will

At first the plan was that women couldn't live in the dormitories for more than two years, but this rule has been modified so that a woman who has cooperated in the house management and made a good grade average during the year may keep scholarship until she has graduated.
Halle Harris, man about the campus, says that no coed would brave the elements without hose on cold days if he were chancellor.
Watkins hall was constructed at a cost of $70,000 which was donated by Mrs. J. B. Watkins in 1926. In 1936 plans were made for the building of Miller hall next door to Watkins on Lilac lane. It also was financed by Mrs. Watkins. Miller hall was named in the memory of Mrs. Watkins' brother, Frank Miller, another university benefactor.
Women admitted to these halls must furnish testimonials from (1) the superintendent or principal of the school or the president or dean of the college attended, (2) the dean of women, (3) a banker of their com-munity, or another well-known citizen, (5) an official record of their school work
Modify Residence Rule
Uppercase women of the University must present testimonials, (2), (3), and (4) of the above together with recommendations from their University instructors and a transferee of their grades from the register.
Does Dick LaBan blush that way because he edits the Sour Owl or did he get the job because he blushes that way.
Must Present Testimonials
The holders of the scholarships to live in Watkins and Miller are selected by the University Scholarship committee. The candidates must be in agreement with integrity, steadfastness of purpose and the capacity for cooperation.
They must be in good health and pass satisfactorily the examinations of the University hospital. Awarded for one year the scholarships must be renewed each year. Through Miller and Watkins hall scholarships hundreds of girls have been able to live in an extremely attractive and comfortable residences at a minimum cost to themselves.
