Dr. Dale Gives Views On Marriage
Z229
Relationship Between Man and Wife Necessary From Individual and Social Standpoint
The necessity of knowledge on marriage relationships both from a social and individual standpoint was stressed by Dr. Margaret Dale, docrineologist from Kansas City, in her lecture "The Physical Adjustment in Marriage" last night in the Union ballroom.
More than 800 persons attending gave evidence of student interest in social relations. It was necessary at the last moment to inst $n$ amplifying system so that could hear the speaker.
"Although two people contemplating marriage often recognize the necessity for economic and emotional adjustment," said Dr. Dale, "it is necessary to recognize the necessity for physical adjustment."
Should Study Sex
Sexual adjustment, like anything else, must be learned. Hece the need, said Dr. Dale, for those considering marriage to make a disposaionate and matter object study to acquaint themselves with the anatomy and physiology of both male and female sex organs. Pre-marital physical examinations should be considered a privilege and a requirement for his future health as well as that of his wife or husband and child.
De. Dale spoke of the harmful influence on marriage of illicit love, saying that it usually results in disappointment, frustration, and later bitter regret. Well-adjusted married women are less likely to weep into finer, greater individuals.
Present Petition
Individual questions, written by persons in the audience, were answered by Dr. Dale at the close of her lecture.
A petition, presented by Mary James, c4'1 to include in the curriculum of the University a co-educational course in social relations including a study of physiological psychological and sociological aspects of men and women's relationships, was passed in the audience to be signed by those desiring that such a course be offered.
Better Betty, c39, introduced the speaker and was in charge of the meeting. The second lecture in this series on Love and Marriage will be given by Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, April 7.
Dr. Dale listed four books as being among the best on the subject in her opinion: "Longe" *Sense Sex Leduc* and "The Sex Technique" *Sex Technique in Marriage* by Drs Hutton and Hutton and "Ideal Marriage" by Vandevelde.
The policy of this column has been to be considerate and tacful. But when such momentous happenings elicit our duty to expose and inform.

The program will consist of three solos, a quartet number, and a number by the Ross Robertson moderr choir.
Oil Companies ToFight 'Grab Industry Heads Seek To Prove Mexican Confiscation Law Illegal
The companies announced a two-fold maneuver to recover their holdings, only a few hours after a special session of Congress had been called for April 11 to consider economic emergencies of the oil industry and suspension of the United States silver purchasing agreement.
The legal action planned provides first for the filing of injunction proceedings seeking to declare unconstitutional the expropriation law under which the petroleum properties were seized. Another injunction was filed against the executive decree of March 14 which expropriated the oil holdings.
Executives of the companies said they were ready to fight the expropriation to the supreme court if necessary. The seizure followed the companies' refusal early this month to abide by a supreme court order effective a $7,000,000 increase to the industries 18,000 workers.
The period for the beginning of the injunction proceedings ends legally 15 days after the issuance of a decree. Thus Saturday will be the final day on which the companies may file their requests.
Fire Destroys Coupe At Sioma Nu House

Loyalist Admits 'War Is Over'
Thousands Flee Across Pyrenees to France as Army Engages in Losing Fight
Pepirgan, France-Spanish Frontier, April 1 (Friday) —(UP)—Commanders of some of Loyalist Spain's army divisions, admitting that "the fight is over," joined thousands of their deserting troops in a flight across the snow-capped Pyrenees to France today.
It was estimated that more than three thousand of the demoralized, ragged and half-starved Loyalists were killed during French soil during the past 18 hours.
They reported that "thousands more" were fighting their way through knee-deep snow in the mountains to escape from the Insurgent war machine, rolling on to the Mediterranean seacoast.
Among the arrivals was General Juan Gallol, commander of the Loyalist tent army corps, members of the general staff of the thirty-first and forty-third government divisions under Gallol's command, and Loyalists of the region east of Huesca, on the northern Spanish front.
Gallol Arrives
"The fight is up," Gallo said. "We had no choice; it was either face massacre or fire. All the roads to the mountains offered the only way out."
More than 2,800 deserters were on French soil tonight and the minister of interior struggled with the problem of their disposition—whether to send them back into Spain by way of Barcelona, where they might be shot as deserters, or whether to give them refuge.
Deserters Disarmed
The weapons and cartridge belts of the deserters were taken from them by gendarmes and mobile guards before they were piled into trucks and taken to detention camps at Luchon, Mariquette and Gaudens.
Most of the Loyalists were members of the thirty-first infantry, routed by General Moscardo's national army in the Barbaros sector east of the Insurgent Huesca base in northern Spain.
The deserters said that most of them became detached from the main body of the retreating *Loyalists* near Barbacas and Benbarre, 34 miles north, unable to retain the main government force around Lerida to the south.
"So we turned northward and kept going until we reached France,' an officer explained.

Kansas Players Find Rain And Other Surprises on Tour
Not that there weren't problems. The stage, being in the gym, was something less than medium-sized, with the ceiling a little too close to the floor; and barely space enough to crawl behind the "bridge."
Anything Goes
At April Fool
Varsity Toplight
Anything goes! Restriction—inhibitions—timid souls have no place at the April Fool variety tonight at the Memorial Union building.
Dressing rooms in the gym locker rooms—one of these enormous tint rollers on the curtain to give Joe Myers exercise—makeup in the sewing room—jugglery the corpse on stairs—all these added to the fun.
And Wednesday morning's downpour was no facsimile. We could see ourselves游艇 a literally waterlogged Brooklyn bridge up the stairs of the high school building. But we were fooled on several counts.
Chaupat, March 31—(With the Kansas Players on Tour)—The farmers want rain; Kansas boasts of a great many farmers; the Kansas Players are touring through Kansas; but that doesn't mean we care for rain. Not with a truckload of seewear and protective clothing between Parsons and Neodasha.
The clouds moved away and the rain fizzed out—it even got uncomfortably warm. Then it turned out that the stage was on the ground floor (hooray!) and the truck simply backed up to the doorway. And fixtures Perry turned in a pair of overalls, which crowned a day of wonders.
But the people in Neodesha are
Since the success of the Halloween varency last fall requests have been "swinging" in for another informal dance. So now that it's spring and piemen and steak fries are again popular, the theater tonight is sweaters and skirts or anything else you want to wear.
Red Blockburn's orchestra will be in charge of tune-rasting and pottery-fying, and from 11 to 13/09, the hit songs over the air waves by WREN.
Republican student leaders, in a surprise move, last night announced to the Campus that plans had been completed for the formation of a "Payne Ratner for Governor" club. A committee of 16 students made the announcement and is sponsoring a meeting in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building. Monday evening at 7 o'clock.
Committee members who made the announcement are:
By Richard MacCann, c'40 (Special to the Kensan)
F. Quentin Brown, 173, acting chairman of the group, explained, "We are supporting Senator Rattner for Governor because we recognize in him a leader whom it will be a privilege to support. His intelligent support of labor groups and his fight for ratification of the child labor amendment stamp him as a man with vision and courage.

Ratner Club Organized
"Even though there has been no official announcement by Senator Ratner, we are organizing this club so that his many student friends may unite in a strong organization to support him an ideal candidate for Governor."

"Senator Ratter is a fast-thinking man," Brown continued, "who rights for a cause logically and forcefully. He has often been called a 'lone wolf in politics' by his enemies, but all admit that he is a fearless and effective champion of clean, progressive state government. Students and educators regard him as an ally because he has fought with them many times for desirable educational reforms.

Red Blackburn and Glen Cunningham went through grade school together in Ekhart, in the extreme southwestern corner of the state. Since that time, Glenn has become a leading campus runner. Red has achieved widespread recognition throughout the Midwest through his Campus dance orchestra. Early this year, when Sigma Delta Chi was planning for its musical revue, Blackburn was selected as musical director for the show. Along with Bud Frink, he wrote "Sport Swim" and present plays call for him to act as master of ceremonies throughout the last part of the revue.

“Spring Swing” is Red Blackburn’s second Hill musical comedy. Two years ago he wrote several of the tunes and directed the band in W.S.G.A.’s Campus show. For the Sigma Delta Chi production, however, Red is confining his work to arrangements and is rehearsing the combined orchestra virtually night and day in preparation for the opening
Red well remembers the now famous school house fire in which Cunningham suffered such severe burns on his legs that it was believed he would never be able to walk again. After finishing grade school, he red-head moved to Topeka where he attended high school. When he was graduated from Topeka High School, Blackburn stepped into a vaudeville orchestra as a guitar artist. A year later he came the

President Believes That Quibbling Over Technicalities Will Not Provide for Fair Representation to All Schools; Should Go Beyond Wording of Amendment To Get Correct Interpretation
Voorhees Defends Action on Petition
By Harry Hill, c'40 Kansan Political Writer
The appointment of a Men's Student Council commission Tuesday night to consider possible redistricting of the Campus as provided in the new election system is a recognition of a mutual agreement last year to place the electoral system on a nonpartisan basis, Don Voorhees, c'38, M.S.C. president, said last night in a signed statement.
Answering charges that the Council action was unconstitutional, the statement declared:
M.S.C. Head Says-- "To the Men of the University:
"This year's Council will stand on its own record for student support."
"I based my decision to accept the petition by the P.SGL. and to appoint this committee on the evident desire by the voters of the last election to provide this very definite and non-partisan method of redistricting Since the committee as set up is composed of two men from each party, it is obvious that the opposition to it has not been prompted by the fear that it will redistrict to the detriment of one party.
"You are entitled to know the facts concerning the selection of a non-partisan committee to investigate the present method of districting.
Signed,
DON VOORHEES
President, M.S.C.
"Those of you who are sincerely interested in insuring that the districting shall be made fairly will, I believe, agree that quibbling over technicalities will not provide for this fair representation to all schools. The only method to do that is to follow out the mandate of the student body by appointing a non-partisan committee for this specific purpose.
"This appointment is a recognition of the fact that last year both parties mutually agreed to place the electoral system on a basis of non-partisan accord. You will recognize that you have accepted of this agreement, and an attempt to place the districting on the basis of its origin.
"Those of you who are sincerely interested in assuring that the districting shall be made fairly will, I believe, agree that
Sour Owl
Contest Closes
This Afternoon
Campus voting in the annual battle to determine the most alluring and the most fascinating of Hill personalities got under way yesterday. Voting in the Sour Owl's contest will close this afternoon.
Prospective "stuffers" are advised to use the Campus voting place, as each vote cast on the Hill counts two votes against one point a vote downtown.
Out in front now are Maxine Miller, c'41, and Fred Pralle, c'38, but who will be awarded the New York trip is still dependent on today's vote. The winners will be awarded a "good deal" in every sense of the term. The trip includes the flight to New York on TW.A.'s "Sky Chief", accommodations at the Park Central hotel, and entertainment at the Stork Club, the Rainbow room, Leon and Eddie's Manhattan room of the Pennsylvania and a night in Radio City to see Fred Allen's radio show.
Teachers Will Attend Language Convention
Eight faculty members of the department of romance languages will attend a meeting of the State Moderators in April on America at Manhattan tomorrow.
Prof. J. M. Oma will address the morning session of the meeting and Miss May Gardner; associate profes-
sor, Mrs. Ann L. Miller; will speak at the afternoon session.
GET VOTING IDENTIFICATION
Because of the confusion on previous election days at the office of the men's student adviser, all identification cards or other credentials to vote, other than classification slips from the registrar, must be procured before election. Classification slips, however, may be obtained election day at the registrar's office.
HENRY WERNER. Men's Student Adviser.
The controversy arose when President Voorhees appointed a non-partisan redistricting committee in response to a petition addressed to him from the Progressive Student Government League. Pachacamac had proposed its election platform "immediate revision of the Men's Student Council to make the School of Business a separate voting district."
Charges that no such committee could be set up were made by Moe Ettenson, b38, secretary of the council, who based his opinion on a ruling by Charles Springer. Douglas county attorney told me that the election system does not become effective "until after the spring election of 1938."
In explaining the position of the M.S.C. Voorhees said:
"I based my decision to accept the petition from P.S.GL. and to appoint this committee, on the evident desire by the voters of the last elec- tion, to provide this very definite and non-partisan method of redacting."
The amendment evidently wished to correct any malrepresentation and any interpretation of it must go beyond the wording to get the intent of the measure in the opinion of the Council president.
Committee Is Non-Partisan
"Since the committee as set up is composed of two men from each party," Voorhees stated, "it is obvious that the opposition to it has been suppressed by the foe that it will redistrict to the detainment one party."
"Had either party desired to change the system of representation for this year," Voorhees said, "in my opinion, they could have petitioned before Jan. 1 and would have gotten the committee."
The Council head said he believed the amendment was elastic enough to allow changes to be made prior to the spring election, and that since the petition for redistricting must be addressed to the president of the M.S.C., a request does not apply under the constitutional requirement that all general petitions memorializing the Men's Student Council to take certain action, or refrain from taking certain action, shall be delivered to the M.S.C. and delivered to the Secretary . , at least two days before the regular meeting at which it is desired that they be presented."
Hoover Advises Foreign Policy
New York, March 31—(UP)—Herbert Hoover, who traveled this week from a brief tour of 14 European nations, tonight suggested an American foreign policy of "joining the global war," in a new war vent, "while minding our own business" about the internal structure of foreign nations.
He told the Council of Foreign Relations at a dinner in his honor that "in the larger issues of world relations, our watchword should be absolute independence of political action and adequate preparedness."
Mr. Hoover warned against joining the democratic front of Britain and France against Fascist dictatorshins.
"We should have none of it," he said. "If the world is to keep the peace, then we must keep peace with dictatorships as well as with popular governments. The forms of government which other peoples pass through in working out their destinies is not our business."
