Jim Haughey P.S.G.L Choice for President
'Dark Horse' Nominated Last Night Places Honor Law Student and New Man in Campus Politics as Head of Ticket; State of Candidates Will Be Announced Soon
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1938
P. S.G.L.'s senate, in a surprise move, last night nominated James Haughey, honor Law student, to head the party's ticket as candidate for president of the Men's Student Council.
Haughey's nomination came as a surprise to Campus politicians who had expected the League to name either Paul Moritz or C. H. Mullen.
NUMBER 122
The P.S.G.L. nominee was named on the School of Law honor roll for last year, being the second ranking student in his
class. He has been a member of the men's Glee Club for two years.
Haughey, second-year student in the School of Law, will oppose Blaine Grimes, c'39, who was named Monday night by the Fachacama party.
Commenting on the selection of Haughey, Lawrence Birney, c'39.
"The P.S.G.L. platform has rightly received wide comment for its progressive emphasis upon the needs of the students. Its planks concerning library reforms, a uniform wage scale for working students, telephones for student use, reorganization of the county clubs, and an emergency loan fund, have been especially well received by the men students.
"As an individual, I want to see these proposals carried into effect. As a candidate I intend not merely to pay lip service to their merit, but to make of them a reality," promised Jim Haughey, P.S.L. presidential candidate, last night.
president of P.S.GL. said last night:
"I in Jim Haugh, the men students will find a man upon whom they can depend for action. We selected our candidate with one thought in mind: Will he carry out the much-needed proposals of the committee?" "We know we have that man. Every student who meets him and comes into contact with his sincerity and abilities cannot help place the same confidence in him that we do."
Fred Praille, that up-and-coming fascinating he—all-American-basket-baller and-Delt-pride, spends a lot of money trying to convince Pi Phi Edgerton that he should be that one During his recent Denver excursion he burdened the postman with a special delivery a day and spent $28.75 on long distance phone calls If all of Fred's votes cost that much he will be mighty flat in no time at all.
on the SHIN by Mitchell and Wire
Jack Townsend is feeling right pert seeing how he and the President are America's two "Press" fishermen—Casa Loma orchestra drew a crowd from the Campus last night. Makes us think of the name orchestras we could have if it weren't for the business office and 150 free passes——Virginia Hankinson of the Alpha Chi ks' her new jigger chat to the midwife and came home with one just like it but not hers.—Wonder how the Phil Deli feels now that they are P.S.L.G.'s?
A group of restless souls on the Hill are going to break their bonds some time next week and have a sing. Fifteen or twenty of the Hill's worst voices are joining together to form the Raw's Rottensten choir. At the present time search is being made for a whiskey tenor, a flat base, a falsetto alto, and a male soprano. All you have to have is voice like a dull but sweet. There will be no dues as each performer must have an atomizer and tuning Practice will be called sometime next week in the Journalism building. One Hundred and One Best Songs will be used as a text. Maestro "Deep River" Shore will act as temporary director.

Stutz Blames State Laws
"Further modification of the constitution of the state of Kansas is necessary before adequate civil service laws can be passed that will make public service a career," said John Stutz, executive director of the League of Kansas Municipalities, speaking yesterday afternoon at the water and sewage works conference conducted by the University and the Kansas Water and Sewage Works Association.
Officers Are Limited Constitutionally; Terms Last Four Years
"Except for the justice of the supreme court, all officers, elected or appointed, are limited constitutionally to a term of four years," said Mr. Stutz. "A city engineer, who serves as a professional team, is also a an officer. Therefore a civil service tenure is not possible."
State Should Have Civil Service
Mr Stutz said the League of Kansas Municipalities has a standing committee which expects to submit, at the September convention of the league, suggestions for constitutional amendments that will make it possible for the state and its subdivisions to have a modern civil service for its public officers and employees, and provide a career service for professional men in the state and its subdivisions.
"The technical personnel of the city-owned utilities in Kansas has many distinct advantages and only a few disadvantages at present for the development of career service," Mr. Stutz further pointed out. "In the first place, the citizens of our cities have acquired a good opinion of the city ownership and operation of their utilities.
Parties Have Liberal Policies
"Second, the political parties or local organizations supporting the city government have had liberal policies in the matter of continuing well trained and capable technical personnel.
"Judging from my observations in other states, I believe in these two respects the technical personnel of the city-owned utilities in Kansas have a much better chance at a career service than in most other states."
This is the fourteenth annual session of the water and sewage works conference at the University, and the eleventh business session of the Kansas Water and Sewage Works Association.
A comprehensive program to ais the carriers was air-mailed to President Roosevelt at Warm Springs Ga., today by a three-man committee commissioned to commute commissioners to Chairman Walter M. W. Spawn.

Proposes Aid For Refugees
Once the stage door closes on them, they return to private life as M. and Mms. Babin, each the possessor of a distinctive personality.
The success of the two young artistes, Vita Vromsky and Victor Babin, who will play a duo piano in Hoch auditorium Monday evening, lies in their perfect accord of tastes and temperament. The New Yorker magazine spoke of their pianist's almost vocal in style, for they make their pianos sing like matched voices."
Victor Babin is tall and muscular, and delights in mathematics, chess and golf, while Mme. Babin is quite feminine in her horror of all three. But this difference is balanced by their enjoyment of the "cinema." During their short stay in America last season, they sampled the movie

fare from New York to the Pacific coast. To their joy, they were able to include Hollywood in their first season, as they were engaged to give a broadcast from that city. They were highly thrilled with visiting the studios and meeting some of the screen's celebrities.
Wide traveling has made of them true cosmopolitans. They speak five languages—Russian, German, Czech, French and English—with equal ease. M. Babin finds the clam, whether chowdered a la New England or recumbent in crushed ice, the most enjoyable of American dishes. Mme. Babin never wearies of the American ice cream sundae.
Their appearance on the University campus next Monday evening at 8:20 is another feature of the reg. series. Activity tickets admit.

He plans to board an airplane from Kansas City after his race here and arrive in Los Angeles the following morning, which will mean that he will take part in two important meetings in about 24 hours.
The platform was made public after a meeting of the party's inner council at which the program was completed. P.S.G.L. announced a platform of five major points and 11 minor planks Monday night.
Relay officials said that this news from Cleveland only strengthened their belief that Glenn had planned all along to keep his date here. The question was whether he would also travel to the western program the next day.

Glenn Cunningham told newspaper men at Cleveland yesterday that he would appear as scheduled at the Kansas Relays April 23. The fact that he planned to participate in a race at Los Angeles the following afternoon is a question that has puzzled the local officials.
Cunningham left New York Wednesday for the west to make his last appearance on the indoor track for this season. He will run in an exhibition race in Cleveland today and at Chicago tomorrow.
He is also scheduled to run at the Hill Military relays in Portland. Ore, on April 1.
Presents Second Vocational Talk
Miss Elizabeth Sanborn, 26, director of publicity for Kansas City Charities Fund, discussed "Opportunities for Women in Journalism and Related Fields" yesterday afternoon in Frank Strong hall. It was the second vocational guidance week lecture.
Miss Sanborn said that a vocation in this line is full of opportunities especially if one can link another vocation with journalism and become a specialist. She pointed out that qualities for such work are accuracy, inexhaustible interest, and good physical health. Ability to work under pressure, sense of news value and pictures, tact, and ability to write simply also are essential qualities.
"If a woman has the aptitude and can make a definite contribution to society, she has a great chance for success," Miss Sanborn said.
Other fields in connection with journalism include books, magazine articles, publicity, government and business advertising, and free lance writing.
Miss Sanboun concluded her lecture telling about the practical use she made of her journalism training after being graduated from the University. "Any woman interested in such a course will be able and will be capable to be valuable, at least one of the many fields of journalism," she concluded.

Will Back Independent Union
The complete platform is as follows;
University budget; a pledge to co-operate with the athletic department in better athletic conditions; promise of encouragement and financial support for the Independent Student Union; and pledges aid in the establishment of a men's dormitory.
"Pachacemac presents its platform for Constructive Student Government:
1. Pachacamac pledges its support and asks that the Engineering Exposition be placed on the University budget as is done at Kansas State.
"Pachacamac offers to the student body a platform that it believes is within the realm of government. It represents what we believe are the outstanding needs existing on the Campus at the time we teach, and shows the pattern of our idea of constructive student education."
BLAINE GRIMES
3. Pachache pledges itself to obtain the necessary financial backing for the Independent Student Union program. Finances, Hardcover Finance
2. Pachacamac will co-operate with the athletic department in bettering athletic conditions at the University and pledges itself to a better program of athletic publicity for its athletes.
4. Current efforts to improve housing conditions have been insufficient. Pachacamac pledges itself to aid in the establishment of a Men's Dormitory to relieve and improve present conditions."
"By supporting an attempt to place the Engineering Exposition on the University budget the party wished to place the University event on the same financial basis as the exposition at Kansas State College where $500 is appropriated," Blaine Grimes, Pachacamac presidential candidate, said. "The exposition will be held the weekend of April 23.
"The engineers labor under a great financial handicap in sponsoring this event," Grimes said, "and could be added greatly by a grant of funds either from the University administration or the Men's Student Council."
Housing Plan Inadequate
In commenting on the second platform plank, Grimes stated: "We are all striving to improve the athletic situation here. Co-operation, parity and participation is very necessary. The Pachacamac party will give this co-operation."
Martin Flesher, c38, president of the party, pointed to the position of the Independent Student Union as a non-political organization and said that "Pachacama will give financial and moral support to this movement to extend the social activity of non-Greek students."
"While the housing program could prove a valuable aid to students living in rooming houses," Grimes said concerning the fourth floor of the "service as it has been carried out is insufficient and inefficient."
British Stand Is Defined
London, March 24 —(UP)—Great Britain will go to war to defend France and Belgium, just as she did in 1914, but refuses to use her armies to protect Czechoslovakia against German invasion, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the house of commons tonight.
The prime minister, asserting that the "inoxorable pressure of events" from any conflict in central Europe does not apply to him, devised the dictators to go slowly.
"I intend to urge others to employ methods of reason and diplomacy rather than those of menace and force," he said.
