Spring Fever Hits Final M.S.C.Meeting
Council Meeting Turns Into a 'Bull' Session; Financial Reports Heard Reluctantly
It cost the Men's Student Council $108.83 to hold the men's spring election. It also cost the Council and the W.S.G.A. a like sum—$159.10 to publish the student directory this year.
But other than this expected bit of financial news, gleaned from final reports to the M.S.C., little else was revealed in the a boistous session last night as impatient councilmen, looking to an early cessation of their assignment of a new Council, acted reluctantly on last minute business.
The boys just wouldn't get into harness. President Don Voorhees increasingly impatient calls for order were virtually ignored and even the commanding voice of Martin Withers, whose attendance at M.S.C. meetings has been so infrequent that men recently appointed to vacancies did not know him, received slight notice.
Meeting Is Bull Session
The meeting finally evolved into a bull session. Even the presence of a visitor, Claus Holthusen, German exchange scholar, who probably was not favorably impressed at this exhibition of American student government, could not quiet the restless members.
Before the effects of spring fever had become so apparent, however, Tony Immel, T38, chairman of the M.S.C. election committee, and Bruce Cottier, b38, manager of the student directory, had given their respective financial reports and had received votes of commendation.
Immel said the election cost $108.83, which awned some of the more business-minded members are caused a brief flurry of excitement to Treasurer C. H. Mullen checked that if the Council had that much money.
Money Is Available
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1938
It turned out the money was available, but some were still unsatisfied and, surprisingly enough, showed enough interest to question Immel as to the reasons for that appalling sum. It was learned that the repairs were in terrible repair and much reconditioning was necessary. This was the result of injudicious lending of equipment to other organizations, it was said, and so a resolution was passed leaving a flat rate of $1 on each "ballard box on our roof" or $50 on each other more than non-profit University offices.
Then Bruce Cottier put in his appearance. He reported that publication of the student directory has necessitated a total expenditure of $767.20, with administration appropriation and advertising revenue reducing the cost to $159.10 each from W.S.G.A. and M.S.C.
His opinion was generally agree to and the Council so moved. Heat Is Bad
Again panic gripped the Council Said President Voorhees to the treasurer:
"Do we have enough money to stand that?" He then added, "Of course, we'll have to."
By this time, the heat on the third floor of the Memorial Union building was getting pretty bad, and with each extra degree passed by the mercury in Andrew Hamrick's official thermometer, there were scarcities. When Brock Bucket, e'41, representative of the freshman class, brought up for the second time this year his proposal for a freshman honor society, the boys were in no mood to bother, and voted to have Brock Bucket be given as a student adviser, and bring the matter up before next year's Council.
After that, the M.S.C. rushed hurriedly through a motion to remand the editorial board of the Dove for advertising its publication by painting the sidewalks and approved, without dissent, a resolution introduced by a Pachacamac member, commending President Voorexes for his "fine work in directing the Council this year."
The meeting adjourned.

on the SHIN by Mitchell and Wire
Storm doors gone... Old grad talks. ... Blessed events. ... No cigars. ... Goon's prayer. ... Calling all cameras.
Spring is officially here. The building and grounds department has removed the storm-door from the buildings. If the storm door on the library has been keeping you away, you can now go in without much labor. We saw a few preopenure procedures with a child-sized ground for the doors which used to be there. The library is doing a first-class business, what with only about four more weeks of school left.
Met an old grad (ten years out) of the University while riding the rails this weekend. He is typical of the 1828 crop. They never grow old and they never tire of telling Alma Mater tales. He seems to know all about Jody Stewart dancing all over her campus. She teaches tennis on the wrong feet—and about Dainy Hoffman's younger days when she used to rock herself to sleep while jabbering about her puppy loves—And about what a gail Delos Woods is when she is going to town with the old Wichita crowd—And how Jayne Coats was a jitterbug even before she quit dating high school students. When she got kicked out of school once for using the wrong utensil to drink out of—And so on and on from Newton to Topeka.
In the recent "Alice in Wonderland" thing that was given by the Lawrence children one of the props was supposed to be a live cat. This sounded innocent enough except that the kitty cat rounded up had to retire from the cast because of several blessed events. Another cat was found to fill in, but to the consternation of the family, it did a Dionne. The third cat did very nicely, however, so the affair vent off as scheduled.

Zupanec Chosen 1937 Honor Man
Leaders in Respective Classes Are Also Named At Annual Assembly; Nitze Gives Address
At the sixteenth annual Honors Convocation yesterday William Ivan Zupencie of Ford, was named "Honor Man of 1337." The selection was made on the basis of outstanding character, excellence in leadership, scholarship, and unselfish service to the University.
While at the University, Zupance was an active member of the Men's Student Council, an outstanding member of the debate team, and also prominent in oratory. For three years he was a member of the debate team, and as a member of that team took a two-week trip to the United States. In 1983, he the Missouri Valley Oratorical Contest, and in 1986-37, was president of Delta Sigma Rho, debating society.
Zupanje is a talented musician and played the violin in the University orchestra. In addition to being a musician, the honor man was an athlete. He was a member of the swimming team, and won his "K."
Was Versatile Student
In reality these fields were all invocational, for Zupace received a B.S. in electrical engineering. He was an outstanding student in the School of Engineering and Architecture, a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau, honorary engineer-educator and training as an electrical engineer in the plants of the General Electric company at Lynn, Mass.
The address of the morning, "The Tristan Legend," was by Dr. William A. Nitze, professor of Romance Studies at the University of Chicago.
Discusses Wagner Opera
Wagner's combination of poetry, legend, and music in his opera, "Tristan and Isolde" was characterized by Doctor Nitze as "a tradyd of human passion presenting a world wide appeal." The opera, as Doctor Nitze presented it, is based on the life of Isolde, a Tristan. Tristan is sent by King Mark of Cornwall to bring home his bride, Isolde, from Ireland. A love philharmonic which Isolde and King Mark are to drink together upon her arrival in Cornwall is placed in the charge of Isolde's maid. Unknowingly, while he maid sleeps, Isolde and Trank Irkn the wine. They fall heavily in love. Nevertheless, Isolde marries King Mark, and later Trank marries an adult daughter of Baltham. Finally, Tristan returns for Isolde, wife of King Mark, but dies believing that she does not answer his call.
Doctor Nitze said that the germ for the story is found in an eighth century Irish tale. The story has since been translated into French, German, and English. The most recent adaptation is the poem on Tristan by Edward Arlington Robinson. As a professor of romance languages Doctor Nitze was particularly interested in tracing the legend through ancient and modern languages, Doctor Nitze feels that translations are never as good as originals, and that though the immediate value of languages may be little their cultural value is great.
The names of 153 honor students appeared on the program.
