Our practical platform to be announced in the near future will be in harmony with this ideal. A competent supporting ticket will be necesary.

House Approves Huge Naval Bill
Washington, March 21—(UP)—President Roosevelt's $11,211,000 naval expansion program, designed to give the United States the most powerful armada afloat, was passed by the house today and sent to the Senate. The president announced the most heated debate since the defeat of the Versailles treaty.
Passing the bill by a vote of 292 to 100, placed the stamp of approval of the house on America's entrance into the world armament race in an effort to reduce Japan's $40 per cent stronger than Japan's and at least equal to Great Britain's.
Increases authorized but for which appropriations must still be made include three new battleships, which, with the four ordered constructed or appropriated for in the 1939 naval supply bill, will give the United States 18 modern, under-age dreadnaughts.
The measure authorizes a general 90 per cent increase in the navy's lighting strength over treaty limits, to combat vessel vessels and 2 auxiliaries.

Sixty-five Students Sign Formal Request Directed To Chancellor E. H. Lindley and Board of Regents Citing Inadequate Space and Petitioning Separate Building for School of Business
Other needs cited by the petitioners include: Increased salaries for the business faculty, a graduate school, a wider variety of courses will more stress on accounting, typing and shorthand courses to be given without credit, and business extension courses in urban centers of Kansas to be administered by the School of Business itself.
A petition drafted by Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity, asking the construction of a building on the Campus to house the School of Business, was sent to Chancellor E. H Lindley and members of the Board of Regents yesterday afternoon.
At this point in his lecture, Mr. Carregie apparently tired of running competition with a noisy boister fan beneath the stage, exclaimed, "Is someone hissing already? They are shouting!" Presently the distraction was stopped and the speaker continued, "One way to get a person to do a thing is to make him want to do it gladdy and with co-operation."
COUNCIL MEETING
Original signers included Hazlett Steiger, president of the fraternity; Sylvester Schmidt, vice-president; Maurice Breidenental, treasurer; Martin Flesher, secretary; and 11 other members.
Carnegie Inspires Many With Advice
Oklahoma, Denver, Missouri, Nebraska, Northwest, Chicago, Indiana, and Illinois Universities were accepted as students to separate buildings for this school
Mr. Carnegie began his talk by emphasizing the importance of developing one's personality in winning friends. He likened himself to the "reformed drunkard who talks about temperance." In reference to his famous book, "How To Win Friends," Mr. Carnegie asserted that he had written it for the express purpose of guiding himself in life.
"Last year the enrollment in the University of Kansas School of Business was 249. This year the enrollment is 348. This represents a 40 per cent increase, and has advanced to the School of Business fifth largest school in the University to that of third in size. Therefore representative School of Business students feel that certain changes should be made to meet this rapidly increasing enrollment."
School of Business schools to rooms in other buildings has created considerable disadvantage both to the professors and to the students since many of these rooms were not built for classroom purposes.

There is a virtual epidemic of Jewish suicides since Germany's annexation of Austria, the congress said.
In the ensuing interview Mr. Carnegie was very wont to say nothing worth repeating, except a definition of the word "sneeze." But after signing autographs for all his fauxes, he went on to answer the following questions:
Q. Knowing that Lucien Beebe is a snob, how do you account for his success as a columnist for the Herald-Tribune in New York?
A. Many Italian people admire him. However I do not think he has any intimate friends. He has said he wouldn't trust his own father."
Q. Do you consider Mr. Mussolini a friendly person?
After lecturing an hour and fifteen minutes on how to win friends and influence people, and spending a goodly part of that time stressing the necessity of remembering names, Mr. Dale Carnegie couldn't recall the name of your reporter, who had met him backstage just ten minutes before he arrived. University students and townpeople $100 worth of "speel."
A. He is not widely read like friendly H. G. Wells. However snobs like to read that sort of thing.

"A Workable Program"
Birney last night made the following statement concerning the platform:
"The Progressive Student Government League presents its platform in the sincere belief that it embodies the real aim of student government—the recognition of the needs of the men students and their satisfaction by a sound, workable program.
"We know that the men of this University of a demand party a definite statement of future action. As a evident in our platform, we intend to meet this demand by concluding our campaign to the basic issues involved rather than personhood or gender, and upon attracting the widest possible participation by students ill over the Hill."
The complete platform follows:
1. Labor-Enlisting the aid of the
    administration, business men
    and working students in setting up a fair
    and uniform wage scale for student
abor.
ropose Library Reform
2. Publicity—Offsetting the recent unfavorable publicity that the University has received, by expending every effort to reveal to the state, the University as it actually is. Reorganization of the county clubs by the M.S.C. will be a major step in this direction.
3. Library-Removing books from reserve when no longer needed there; limitation of the unrestricted checking out of books by professors; and for those books actually needed in a department, we favor their replacement in the main library or made accessible to all students.
4. Intramurals—Encouraging the murial participation of unaffiliated men by making a strong effort to recruit those men who are not engaged.
5. Small Loan Fund—Setting up a fund for making small one- or two-week loans for emergency use by students. This has proved highly successful in other schools and could well be instituted here.
"Supporting these five major planks are the following aims for specific action by P.S.GL:
1. Free telephones on the Campus for student use.
2. Co-sponsor with the Alumni Association a series of lectures by alumni on their professions.
3. Fewer persons to be seated on the stage at basketball games in order to keep the aisles open.
4. Recommend "Mariage" Class
4. Definite limitation of the number of non-students seated in the student section in the stadium.
5. Extension of inspection of fraternity foodhandlers to all food-landers serving students.

7. Enlargement of the Owl Society's Freshman Bible by a grant of money for that purpose.
8. Appeal to the City Council for sanding on ice days of the streets and sidewalks leading to the Campus.
9. Recommendation to the present faculty-student board that a class on marriage be included in the curriculum.
10. Opening the M.S.C. sessions at least twice a year to free criticism and suggestion by the general student body.
11. Recommending that a Date Bureau be set up in the Union building under the new student organization there.
