Selection of Student Manager To Be Made by Non-Partisan Group Under New Plan
Applications for the position of manager of the student directory for next year are now receivable under the first use of the new appetitive system adopted by the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. Application blanks are now available at the CSEP office in the basement of Frank Strong hall and must be returned to that office by April 27. Both men and women who are interested are urged to apply.
Points to be considered under ability are salesmanship, familiarity with advertising layout, executive ability and a scholastic average of at least 10.
The new method of choosing the manager decrees that a committee shall be appointed, consisting of two members of the W.S.G.A. two from the M.S.C., and a fifth member, chosen from the faculty by the other four. W.H. Schoewe, associate professor of geology, has been selected to fill this place. A sixth, non-voting, advisory member is Miss Martha Tillman, executive secretary of the CSEP.
Under the old system it was possible to play politics in making the appointment, but the new method is designed to remove any political considerations and to put the selection on a basis governed entirely by the ability and need of the candidates.
Under need, the income of the student and whether or not he is self-supporting will be the basic considerations.
After the April 27 deadline on applications, the committee will meet and choose the candidate it feels shows the greatest need and the most ability. The choice will be announced not later than May 1.
The job pays the manager 15 per cent of the advertising revenue. Council members said this usually netted the manager between $50 and

"A stick of this delicious gum will trap your spring fever and you can spit it out," said Shore. It has a paraffin germ-free base and each stack contains the equivalent of one cup of sassafras tea. it is recommended for soft gums, spring liver trouble, dandruff, and cementing on loose toepaces. Don't let the girls be stuck with a carload of this stuff. Buy early.

Will Do Things With Music
Turning Rachmaninoff's famous "CSharp Prelude" inside out and upside down will be one of the experiments performed by Dr. J. O Perrine in a lecture-demonstration, "Waves, Words and Wires," scheduled to be presented Friday night, April 22, at 8 o'clock in Fraser theater.
Lecturer To Use Novel Amplifier in Electrical Demonstration
Dr. Perrine has recorded his own voice on a hill and dale record and this will be played into the loud speaker in frequencies varying from 50 to 9,000 cycles a second. After the record passes the 7,000 cycle mark, members of the audience will be unable to hear the sounds of his voice.
One of the unusual pieces of equipment Dr. Perrine will use in his program will be a "tour-throated" loud speaker which will be used to reproduce the sounds of speech and music he will demonstrate. This loud speaker weighs more than 600 pounds.

A new type of non-directional microphone, colloquially known as the "eight ball," will be used throughout the talk and demonstration in connection with the high-fidelity loud speaker.
The lecture is being sponsored by the University of chapter of Sigma X and by the student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The public is invited to attend.
Two features of the annual Kansas Relays which always are favorites with the spectators, the 3,000 meter steeplechase and the shuttle hurdle relay, have drawn an outstanding list of entries this year.
Steeplechase Entries Are Numerous
Thus far a total of nine men have entered the steeplechase, a larger number than last year. One of the first entries was Ralph Halla of Yankton College, who won the 3,000 meter run at the Texas Relays. A more recent entrant was Ray Mahamah, former Drake dislocation doctor who will hittung his shoulder when he graduated last spring and did some outstanding running during the indoor season this winter. Several times he ran against Glen
Other entrants in the steeplechase include Forrest Efaw of Oklahoma A. & M. who ran two miles in 9:32 last year as a freshman, Richard Frey and Robert Hills, Michigan State distance stars, Mark Porter of McPherson College, Albert Roberts of Ottawa University, Harold Johnson of Friends University and Bud Melvin of St. Benedict's College.
The main hazard in the steeple-chase is the water jump and all eyes are turned on this as the runners hurdle the barrier and splash down into the water. The runners

President Disclaims Rumors of Quarrel With Texan Over New Deal Spending Policies
Washington, April 12—(UP) —President Roosevelt softly denied today public reports that he and Vice President John G. Narner were at odds over New Deal spending policies.
Mr. Rosevelt disclaimed newspaper reports that Garnier sharply protested at a White House conference yesterday against the administration's spending policy. The President said at his press conference that nothing has arisen to mar Garnier's position in the department. He also said that Garner vigorously denied criticism of the policies.
Despite the President's assurance that no friction exists between the two uppermost cogs of the New Deal, the capital tonight still hummed with reports that Garner had expostulated against the administration's proposed new multi-billion-dollar tax plan, and there were indications that the party is heading into another vitriolic battle over it in congress.
Fix Tentative Date For Adjournment
Washington, April 12—(UP) – Administration leaders tonight fixed May 14 as the tentative date for adjournment of congress and indicated that all “must” legislation will be scrapped to clear the way for quick action over President Roosevelt’s business pump-priming program.
This means that wage-hour and regional planning measures, two of the chief executive's pet bills, will go into disband along with others with the legislators believe can be held safely until the January session.
Certain inactions of regular appropriation and tax bills will be speeded through so that the President's new relief recovery program, which he plans to lay before congress Thursday, can be taken up.
An influential house leader said tonight that a wage-hour bill will be reported by the labor committee, probably this week, but that it is certain to die in the rules committee because of a wide-spread op-position and a split in the ranks of organized labor.

As a high school senior, Cunningham won the mile in the high school section of the Kansas relays in 1930 in 4:31.4, a record that still stands for the meet. That same year he held the state meet at Manhattan in 4:28.5, an international interscholastic at Chicago in 4:24.7, setting a new record.
The government admitted that its troops were in retreat toward the coast after attempting to stand up to a raid, and lost death spread by the flame throws.

has competed at that distance no
less than 61 times in the seven years
he has been in collegiate competition.

the winner; seventen times he has
placed second; and three times he
has placed third.
Chief among these victories is the 4.044 mile run at Dartmouth College, March 3, 1938, a full four seconds faster than his own world record of 4.084 for the indoor mile set in the Columbian mile in New York in 1934; better than his outdoor world record of 4.067, set at the Princeton invitation meet the same year he visited by Woodswan's 4.094. The number of these victories that represented new meet or regional records has escaped compilation.

Engineering Exposition To Feature Many Exhibits
Cunningham Wins 51 of 61 Races in Last Seven Years
Again, at the time of the Kansas Relays, the School of Engineering and Architecture is offering an exhibit and open house. This is designed to acquaint the public in the general progress of engineering, and to show in particular the type of work offered.
It is thought all visitors, whether students, prospective students, parents, or just plain taxpayers, will be well repaid for their time. By scieed construction of models and by actual tests being made in laboratories, a graphical presentation will be made on the different operations. Some of the department projects are:

in competition until the fall of 1931, when he led the Kansas two-mile team. His first collegiate competition in the mile was in the Big Six indoor meet at Columbia in March 1932, which he won in 4:21. The second, in April 1932, and in 1934 set the meet record of 4:20.3, which stood until this year, when Munski of Missouri made it in 4:19.2.
Horace Heidt, whose Brigadiers are featured on the broadcast, regularly interviews persons from the Bowman room of the Hotel Biltmore, and Praille and Miss Butcher have been mentioned for this program.
The season of 1933 saw Cunningham entering Eastern competition, appearing that year in New York in the Columbian mile, the Wanamaker mile, and the Baxter mile. For six years now he has run in these three races, winning the Columbian mile twice, times, dropping the Wanamaker mile in 1836, and the Baxter mile in 1834 and 1936.
There was also a possibility that the Joybawls might be heard Saturday night when they attend the "Queries and Theories" program. This is carried by WREN from 10:30 to 11:30 p.m.

have Constructed Models to Scale
The department of civil engineering will display types of surveying and drawing equipment, both old and new laboratories and class rooms will be open for visitors. Since the civil engineering deals for the most part with large construction units, it becomes necessary to resort to scaled models as well as maps and plans to demonstrate the work. This is shown by suspension and other types of model bridges as well as a railway construction and equipment. Railway construction is a scale of one-quarter inch to the foot. One of the interesting pieces of model construction is that of a relief map of the entire University campus, made on a scale of one inch to fifty feet. The actual contour of the ground has been worked out from surveys students have been making over the Campus for many years.
NUMBER 135
Since the sanitary work carried on under the State Board of Health is in connection with civil engineering at the University, there are several interesting exhibits covering health masks for protection of lungs in different industries, a model flocculator for water treatment, plan of water purification plant models showing ideal rural sanitary systems, and many others will be shown.

Give Premier Broad Powers
Paris, April 13 (Wednesday)—(UP) The Chamber of Deputies early today approved a 508 to 12 vote Premier Daladier's "brond powers" finance bill to give him dictatorial powers until July 31.
French Chamber Votes Confidence in Daladier Cabinet
Daladier's new government, which last night broke the backbone of a strike that paralyzed armaments production, thus appeared safely launched in its plan to end the political uncertainty that has endangered the nation's international position.
Unexpected warm support for Daalier's finance bill by former Premier Etienne Flandin curtailed debate and made a strong majority certain. Flandin said he could support the measure because it did not re-open the debate. Premier Leo Louwendaill bill demanding inflationary steps and a capital levy.
The sudden change in the strike situation indicated implicit confidence in Dalahder's guidance and ability to exemplify work in all factories within 48 hours.
