Coalitionists Win In 'Clean' Election
By Harry Hill. c'40
Newly-Formed Party Makes Clean Sweep at Business School Polls; Election Will Not Be Contested Commerce Party Can Not Cope With Machine Tactics of Onposition
As Big Tom Pendergast would put it, the people have spoken. They spoke yesterday in the darkened corridor in West Frank Strong hall and the great majority of the voices were Coalitionist (unpurchased).
date of the Commerce (we don't buy votes) party had been elected.
LAWRENCE. KANSAS. THURSDAY, MAY 5. 1938
If the adjective weren't so trite, it might be said the Coalitionist machine was "well-oiled." At least a highly successful lubricant was used, for when the votes had been counted in the much delayed School of Business election, not one single candle.
Coalitionists Sweep Offices
The Coalitionists achieved a "clean sweep of the four school offices, although they could not pay the 25-cent voting fee because there was no fee. The budding businessmen held a mass meeting Monday and abolished the poll tax which was the cause of a dispute that resulted in the invalidating of the first election last Thursday.
The Commerce party will tell you that the Coalitionist landside was achieved through a bit of
Results in yesterday's school of Business election:

Last Wednesday, the Coalition boys saw to it that every one of the School of Business was dated for the mid-week. And when they got the gals there, they cut them off and handed them aandon, turning on their best charm.
pre-election strategy. It seems there was a woman candidate on the Commerce ticket and said party counted very heavily on the 35 fe-
As a result, the Commerce group believes, there was virtually a complete capitulation of the women votes to the Coalition cause.
Election Not Contested
Yesterday's election will not be contested. This statement may shock you, but it's authentic. If there was dirty work, it will not be exposed for political purposes. The truth is that the boys couldn't have protested if they had wanted to Dean Stockton made this a certainty by going home just about the time they started counting votes.
The only thing approaching an argument occurred in the counting room. When two-thirds of the votes passed, the gossip girls were so large that the Commerce representatives were for conceding the victory and going home.
In conclusion, it probably should not be said that the Coalition sweat was largely a Kappa Sig affair.
A.S.U. Votes On Peace Ballot
Members of the American Student Union who have not voted in the national referendum concerning "collective security" may do so this afternoon at 330 in the Y.M.C.A. office. The result of the vote will be announced later. The wards elected as the ballots are sent unopened to the national office for tabulation.
The voting followed a discussion of "collective security," pro and con, at the meeting Tuesday. Roscoe Born, c'41, and Mary Robb, c'38, defended the policy, stressing the menace that the three fascist countries, Japan, Germany and Italy, present to world peace." Colleague of the day in these countries was advocated as a means of preserving peace.
Dave Angevine, c'39, and John Piercey, c'38, opposed this policy of the grounds that it led dangerously close to war if not to actual conflict
The final deadline for senior pictures is Friday, May 6. Stop in Jayhawk office. The office hours are 1:30 to 5 p.m.

Objections Raised To Coat of Paint Op Marvie Hall
The war is on, not between Germany and Italy, but between Mount Engineer and Snow Island. Hitler and Mussolini may have racked their brains to show each other up with the most trivial excuse for war but the Professors on University Continent have them both beat.
The point of conflict between the teachers of the Engineering building and the ones in Snow hall is "what should be the relative position of the door to the minimum pain." The professors of architecture on the third floor of the Engine school want the heat painted silver to reflect the heat. This point was just fine until the Snow hall scholars complained that the paint should be made to make the class rooms unbearable at certain periods during the day.
The generalers on each side have crossed no -mans -land (Campus boulevard) into enemy territory for numerous conferences. At present the score is nothing to nothing in this part of the game, so the paint is already on the roof and they just dare the objectors to take it off and put it back in the cans.

Yoe, Littooy Head 1939 Jayhawker
Both Men Have Unusual Preparation for Their Positions; Yoe Favors Conservative Policy
The Jayhawk Advisory Board yesterday announced the selection of Tom Yoe, c'39, and Fred Littrow, c'39, to be editor-in-chief and business manager respectively of the 1938-ish magazine for the 1938- school year.
Yoe has had a great deal of experience with publications, having edited the Independence Junior College annual two years. In addition he has served as editor of a high school annual and paper. He also edited the junior college paper one semester.
Commenting on the board's decision, Bob Pearson, present editor-in-chief, said, "I think Yoe has the most exceptional ability coupled with the most extensive experience of any one who has been on the board of Fidelity and I believe that working with Fred Littleton he will be able to produce a magazine far surpassing those of the past."
Since coming to the University this year he has worked on the Jayhawker as an editorial assistant to the present editor.
In an outline of the general policy and plans for the 1938-39 Jayhawker which he submitted to the board, he suggested that he use word, "conservative." Pointing to the high degree of excellence already attained by the Jayhawker, he said that there would be no "change for change's sake," and that the new economy would be for the sake of greater economy or increased reader interest.
Last year Fred Littoy was a member of the Jayhawker editorial staff and this year has served on the business staff.
Library To Open Sunday Evenings
Watkins library will be open for student use on Sunday evening from 7 to 10 o'clock throughout the remainder of this semester, it was announced yesterday by C. M. Baker, director of libraries.

Mr. Baker said that the new hours would be continued next year if the service proves popular. In such case, Watkins library would open Sunday evening instead of Saturday evening. The regular library hours will be continued this semester, he said.

Hanson Scorns Sham Listeners
"What the American audience needs, above all things, is to lose its artistic inferiority complex. Those in the audience should listen to and like what they like, honestly and sincerely," said Dr. Howard Hanson, composer and conductor, and director of the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, N.Y., speaking yessimply at the al-University concession.
Doctor Hanson discussed "The Triangle of Music," a broader phrase of his originally scheduled speech, "The Status of Contemporary Music." a 24-page typewritten speech which he, at the last minute, decided not to inflict on his audience. Doctor Hanson compared the cre

Faculty Approves Relations Board
With the faculty falling in line yesterday with the Men's Student Council proposal of a permanent student-faculty relations board by naming Amida Stanton and Verner F. Smith as representatives from the faculty, the board has only to wait for University Senate action.

The purpose of the proposed board is to provide some means by which students may make suggestions or criticism of teaching methods or curricula that are not appropriate. It was decided that any appeal to such a board should come through a senior majoring in the department concerned.

Unaffiliated Students To Discuss Activities for Coming Year
Independents Meet Tonight
"There is a lack of any unified spirit back of the independents and we are going to try to make the independent student feel that he is not alone on the Hill." was the statement made by Susan Maloney, c39, women president of the Independent Student Association. This statement is the underlying paradox to be held tonight at 7:30 in the men's lounge in the Memorial Union building.
This meeting is held to instill a group feeling into the independent students of the University. A new system of activities is to be discussed and plans for their introduction next fall. All of the fields of activities enjoyed by students of organized houses, such as debates, dramatics, intramurals, and social activities will be stressed.
The Independent Student Association of the University sent eight representatives to the national convention in Oklahoma last week. These students are Martin Maloney, gr. Tom Reames, e'uncl, Agnes Mumert, e'40, Bill Vickers, e'cunl, Max Sims, e'35, and Charles e'Alexander, e'38. They attend at the meeting tonight. Malus Murale will speak on "What the Independent Society Can Mean."
Due to the efforts of the delegates at Norman and the co-operation of the University authorities, the national convention of the Independent Student Association will be held here next year. About 500 students from universities and colleges from all of the forty-eight states are expected to attend the two-day convention here on the Campus.
Tonight at the meeting volunteer workers will be called for to help with the Independent platform. All independent students are urged to come and join in the movement to promote their welfare.
Effective with the Summer Session of 1939, students applying for entrance to the University of Kansas School of Medicine will be required to present 90 hours (three academic years) of college credits instead of the 60 hours (two years) now required.
Hike Pre-Medic Requirements
The new requirement was requirement was recently approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, and is in line with the recommendation of the American Association of Medical Colleges that preparation be required for students in medicine, beginning in 1340.
Since more than 80 per cent of the 517 persons graduating from the School of Medicine in the last 10 years have had three or more years education, the new ruling will actually effect only a few persons a year.
The additional year will give the student an opportunity to broaden his viewpoint, develop his personality, and help in adjustment of his personal and community relationship.
nced degrees from the Graduate School has not been released, but totals are estimated at more than 150, including 13 Ph.D. degrees.
One hundred ninety-four persons on yesterday's list have completed work, and have been voted degrees, but their names, with assignment to proper class, will appear on the commencement program.
Candidates are from 85 of the 103 counties of Kansas, and from 23 other states, the District of Columbia, and two foreign countries.
The principal speaker at the Commencement exercises will be Clarence A. Dykstra, president of the University of Wisconsin, and a former member of the University department of political science.
Commencement season starts Friday evening, June 3. The baccalaureate sermon will be Sunday evening, June 5, when Bishop Ernest Lymn Waldorf, of the Chicago area, will speak on "A Place in the Sun."
Following are the names of 772 persons, the names of 194 persons already voted degrees having appeared before in the Kansai.
