Pachacamac Adds Plank To Platform
Ask Immediate Revision M.S.C. Representation Makes Business School Seminar District
Define . . . Pachaeamac issues was comé at night with the anouncement of an additional plank in its previously published platform.
The inserted plank as stated: "Due to the increasing size of the Business school, we advocate immediate revision of the Men's Student Council representation to make the Business school a seperate voting district, and eliminate the Pharmacy, Fine Arts and Education more equitable representation."
"The Business school," Blaine Grimes, "Cp. 524, cacademic council leader candidate, informed the party committee," includes 80 more men than the Pharmacy, Fine Arts and Education schools combined. It is obvious that the Business school will completely dominate these three smaller schools in the second representative district."
Explains Housing Issue
Clarifying a plank of the Rising Sun program, Grimes explained the housing issue:
"The present men's governmen body has not fulfilled its proposal with regard to the improvement o the health of these are the Pachacamac objectives:
"1. The present set-up has become merely advisory, whereas regulatory action and strict enforcement are essential to a betterment of housing conditions.
"2. Pachacamayo proposes an inspecting board to be made up of representatives from the M.S.C., the University Health Service, the city fire marshal, the University faculty and the Chamber of Commerce.
"3. Inspections should be made at irregular and unannounced intervals. A list of approved houses should then be published in the University Daily Kansas." Discover Engineering Examination
Cullard Willis, e 38, verifying the proposed engineering support referred to the Kansas State engineering exposition which receives funds from the University budget. "This enables the exposition expense to be amply covered and as a result has developed into a permanent exhibit that attracts 12,000 persons to the campus."
The nomination committee plan to release the remainder of the party candidate ticket this week.
In reference to the athletic publicity plank, Grimes said, "We are advocating the establishment of a committee similar to the Kansas Relays committee. This committee would have as its sole function the pubizing and promotion of varsity sports to give them nationwide recognition such as the Kansas Relays now receive."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 1938.
on the SHIN by Mitchell and Wire
The SHIN announces the launching of a new political party, the ROYALISTS. Sponsored by the liberals, and those who are of neither Republican nor red hue, this party has as its chief aim the restoration of he-man machine politics and if possible the establishment of a dictatorship. At present we are aiming at the election of a king to head the Men's Student Council. And who would make a better king? He will be one to anyone, Rolla "Brass" Nuckles. As our campaign chairman says, "this year's campaign slagn for thinkers will be 'Brass' Nuckles, K.U.'s big stick." Which leads us on to the first installment of our platform!
Platform of the Royalist party:
1. Abolish all free passes (not earned) to varity and class parties.
2. Escaliors to bring independents and Theta's up the hill.
3. State-equipped steak fries. Provisions to be determined by the governor.
4. Investigation of secret entrances into sorority houses.
5. Adaptation of the Maloney Old Age Pension plan for jun-

Fenske Close. But Cunningham Wins in 4:09.9
Chicago, March 26 — Glenn Cunningham, Kansas miler, was content to jog in third place for three-quarters of the Bankers' Mile here tonight, leaving the pacing alternately to Jimmy Smith of Indiana and Charles Fenske of Wisconsin, but he also made the last and last lap, to win by a half-step in 4.09.8. Fenske was second and Smith third.
Cunningham won the Bankers' Mile first in 1932, when a sophomore at the University of Kansas, covering the distance in 4.19:2. Last year he was second to San Romani, who won in 4.21:0.
Fenske was first at the quarter, in 62 seconds, but Smith immediately took the lead, with Fenske second, Cunningham third and Gene Vanske, fourth. The half was completed in 2:06, when Fenske re-entered the field. The quarter was first at the three-quarter mark. And the time, 3:08:7.
At the start of the final quarter, Cunningham lengthened his stride, moving into first place, only to meet a player that gave him a momentary lead.
Cunningham again put on the steam for the last lap, and breasted the tape a half-step in the lead. Ailan Polmick of Wayne University, Detroit, set two new world's records in the high hurdles, bettering his own 60-yard record of 67.4 by the tenth of a second, and cutting Sam Allen's record of 68.1 to 67.8 in the 65- yard race.
Spanish Loyalists Admit Reverses
Barcelona, March 26—(UP) —The Loyalist government admitted tonight that severe losses had been suffered along the Aragon front.
A government communique said that the Loyalists had evacuated Candassos on the highway to Lerida and approximately ten miles from the frontier of Catellonia, where rebel planes bombed the town of Faganar, killing 50 persons and destroying 15 houses.
Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier March 26, —(UP) Nationalist forces cut through the crumbling Lezaliist defenses along a 125-mile front tonight and reached a point less than 28 miles from the Mediterranean in the maritime province of Castellon. Troops under General Miguel Aranda crossed the Castellon frontier south of Madrid, where they were the chief targets to their ships into a coastal province in the present drive, which may prove the last offensive of the 20-month-old Spanish civil war.
Nationalists Press Drive By Plane and Motor

Will Play Duo Piano Concert
Vronsky and Babin To
Continue Their Concert
Series W it h Program
Tomorrow Night
Vitya Vronsky and Victor Babin will play in a duo piano concert in Hoch auditorium, tomorrow evening at 8:20.
Josef Hoffman, famous pianist and director of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, said that "they are the most extraordinary two-piano team in Europe"; and the New Yorker magazine, "they make their pianos sing like matched voices." In radio broadcasting, the two musicians have achieved an unusual success.
Miss Evelyn Swarthout, daughter of D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, attended the Vronkoy-Babin concert given in New York to encourage her father: "They would be a great-snash hit with college students."
Their first American broadcast was in a sustaining program of the Columbia system. Later they appeared on three sponsored programs.
Have Appeared on Radio
In private life the team becomes M. and Mme. Babin. They met in the studio of Artur Schabel in Berlin, where they had both gone for further study. With their marriage they merged their careers, forming the musical Babin. Program in Four Groups
Tomorrow's program will be arranged in four groups: The first one will be from Brahms "Variations on a Theme by Haydn," Op. 56; the second will be from Rachmaninov "Barcarrolle," Op. 5, and one from his "Second Suite," Op. 17. The third group will open with Victor Babin's arrangement of "Two Eludes." "Lulie-Bee" is arranged by Rimsky-Korsakoff will follow. The concluding number will be "Polesian Dances from Prince Igor," arranged by Borodin-Babin.
This concert is another feature of the regular concert season. Activity tickets will admit.
"Putting on the dog" really was not the motif at Saturday night's 'Left Over Party' where sorority pledges gathered to swing and sway over a fence in a little black dog was persistent in his efforts to crush the fingeroo.
To make a clean sweep of the evening's festivities, folloring was inaugurated with a broom dance to bring out the domestic qualities of the participants. Five brooms were given to women and five to men. Each bearer of a broom was allowed to walk around the room to pass the broom (the buck) to the displaced dancer, who in turn repeated the routine.
Dau Cupid, homecoming jayhawks and tigers, W.S.G.A. carnival signs, George and Martha Washington, and Pinky the pig were some of the 1938 sorority memories which showed up in the leftover decorations.
Following the half-hour broadcast over WREN, which was aired at 10 o'clock, the stages start to appear on homecube to enliven the mixer even more.

First-hand information about the coronation of George VI of Great Britain will be given by Nell Sneed at the annual Theta Sigma Phi Matrix Table banquet at Evans' Hearth; Tuesday night, March 29.
"The Illinois Society for Mental Hydiene, with its staff of doctors, its offices, and its literature, is an example of the interest now being taken in the field of psychiatry
Tells of Broad Social Significance of Psychiatry
Miss Sneas, who is the editor of the woman's page of the Kansas City Star, was able to obtain an interview from a member of the nation while overseeing the coronation.
Will Tell Of Coronation
"The scope of modern psychiatry is still expanding," said Doctor Orr. "A psychiatrist may do general practice, that is, diagnose and treat cases of mental illness, or he may work in the private mental sanitation hospital. The importance of the state hospital field is increasing."
The woman's page which Miss Sneed edits is ranked among the best in the United States. She has an unusual hobby of collecting boxes, and is considered an authority on costume.

"In a recent British survey it was found that 90 or 35 per cent of all chronic illnesses are mental in nature. Mental problems have increased in number more than the population of the United States in the past few years. From 1880 until 1920 there was a population increase of 110 per cent, while the increase in the number of mentally ill cared for in public institutions was 468 per cent.
Shanghai, March 26—(UP) Chinese troops opened a surprise counter-thruster in southern Shantung today, hammering back Japanese lines and driving them up the Tientsin-Pukow railway from the walled city of Tsoochwang, Chinese military sources reported.
Chinese Halt Japanese Drive
"Psychiatry has a broad social significance," said Dr. Dr.Douglas Orr, resident psychiatrist of the Menninger Clinic, Topeka, at Doctor Brown's Abnormal Psychology class Friday, in the first of a series of lectures to be held each week on psychiatry and related subjects.
'Psychiatry Is Expanding'
The southern Chinese attack broke the steady drive of the Japanese columns down the railroad track and forced the Japanese to threat to the key city of Suhou.
Dispatches from Hankow said the whole line of Japanese advance caved in as the Chinese fell on them.
"Since mental hygiene work is most beneficial in childhood," said Doctor Orr, "Psychiatry plays an important part in the educational system. In many cities trained workers serve in an advisory capacity to the day nurseries and the public school system. Dears of men and deans of women should have training in psychiatry.
"The Social Security Act has set aside funds for surveys of mental health in this country. Many cities and church organizations sponsor pre-marital or domestic relations clinics."
Psychiatry also has its place in the court room and in the prison system, according to Doctor Orr. He believes that the social worker must occasionally be an amateur psychiatrist. In places like Chicago the social worker must take over some psychiatric duties, since there is a scarcity of trained workers in the field of mental health.
Important to Education
Choral Union Will Sing 'Pilgrims Progress' Today
"Continually, new fields are opening for the psychiatrist. In industry and in the factory, the psychiatrist can give much needed advice. Dr Karl Menninger in his book, 'Man Against Himself', shows the effect mental illnesses and disorders have on the accident rate."

Tickets for "Spring Swim," the all-campus musical revue sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, will be or sale tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock in Green hall, and advance predicts point to sell-out houses for both performances. April 5 and 6.
According to James Coleman, c38, producer, because of an unexpected demand for seats the revue may run for an extra night, April 7. "Because of the popularity which the dramatic presentations have enjoyed this year, and because of the popularity of our show," he apparent, we will be prepared to give it an extra night if necessary." Coleman said.
All seats for the production are reserved, and all sell at the same price.
Posters bearing "candid" photographs of "Spring Swing" performers were distributed yesterday in fraternity and sorority houses, each placed showing a different picture. Beginning Monday, the students occupants of each house will be treated to a different photograph each day.
Interest in the show among out-of-town people, many of them University graduates, has been high, and requests for tickets, as well as inquiries concerning the production and the original music used in it have been coming in for the past two weeks. According to Coleman, efforts to publicize what he termed the "excellent" music used in the show will probably culminate this week. The primary radio broadcasts to "officially introduce them, as well as the performers who will present them in the revue." An announcement in that regard is promised Wednesday.
"Spring Swing" is the first Camp musical production since the W.S.G.A. abandoned the practice of staging musical comedies several years ago. The Sigma Delta Chisponsoon show will be without the plot which characterized the older shows, and will rely solely on musical numbers and comic dramatic skits for entertainment.

Completes Extension Class
The mental hygiene class conducted by Dr. A. H. Turney of the School of Education has been brought to a close after 16 meetings held at the Kansas City Teachers College in Kansas City, Mo.
For special work each class member took a mental hygiene case and studied it exhaustively under Doctor Turney's supervision. The child cases were selected as the most difficult child problems in the teacher's classrooms or schools. Through the teacher's investigation of the child's maladjustments they could understand the child better.
"The class did a fine piece of work," Doctor Turner said, "and not only received benefits from the case studies but profitted much from the wider contact with literature in the field of mental hygiene."
Thirteen of the 16 members of the class were teachers in the Kansas City schools. In addition, a school nurse, an institutional minister, and a housewife were enrolled. Seven members were taking the course for credit to be applied toward admittance degrees and other courses taking it for undergraduate credit or personal interest. This was the seventeenth extension class in which one of the members had been enrolled.
