Gordon Brigham, of the Delta Tau clan, is a queer fellow. All year he has been going home each weekend to see the home town girl. This weekend Gamma Phi has her up to see the Hill, and Brigham, as soon as he hears of her arrival, phones the City and gets a date there with another lass for Saturday night. Maybe he goes just for the ride.

China Is Logical Place For Japanese Expansion
"The Japanese people are very much opposed to war but because of a powerful military government their wishes are not taken into consideration." Dr. T. Z. Koo, leader of Chinese students, asserted at the second of his lectures, "China Speaks," last Friday afternoon.
Doctor Koo analyzed the situation with which Japan is faced, as in: The first place she has more than 70 million people in an area the size of California. Secondly, she is largely an industrial nation norzeily employed in food processing; she must find a world market for her goods, and this is the crux of the situation that the Japanese government is trying to alleviate.
The logical place for Japan to expand is China, Doctor Koo said. The Chinese government will stand the Chinese situation one must look back into the history of the
Pharmacists Go To Topeka
Convention Starts Tomorrow; K. U. H as Gland Exhibit
Senior pharmacy students will go to Topeka tomorrow for "clerk's day" of the convention being held at the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association.
The convention starts tomorrow and continues through Thursday with a banquet Wednesday night The Sayre Club, named in honor of L. E. Sayre, former dean of phi- theta kappa at Temple University on Tuesday for alumni and seniors.
The School of Pharmacy will have an exhibit of preserved glands from slaughterhouse animals such as are used for medicinal preparations. The exhibit includes pancreas, liver, suprarenal, ovary, thyroid, parathyroid and pituitary glands and such tissues as insulin, and extracts used for various diseases and deficiencies, a re obtained.
The background for the gland exhibit will be a "liquid crepe" display such as was used years ago to identify a drug store, much as barber poles or the pawshatch's three spheres are used now. The display of round flasks, about 5 inches in diameter, which have a tube 30 inches long extending from the mouth. The tubes are tied together near the top with the flasks on the bottom spread out after the fashion of wigwam poles. In the flasks are solutions of brightly colored violet-dominant dyes that reflect light from three show-case lamps through the solutions.
April 1 Deadline for Essays Written in Lewis Contest
—SAYS KOO
"The deadline for preliminary outlines of essays to be submitted in the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Prize essay contest is April 1," said Prof Seba Eldridge, chairman of the committee, yesterday.
"I am quite sure a number of the University students have convictions on the application of the teachings of Christ to some present-day problem. If they will but present their ideas they will be in line for one of the four prizes that are offered. However, the work must be of merit; the work committee on an occasion or two has withheld one or more awards on the ground the paper submitted did not merit the prize."
"The prizes are decidedly worth while, the first one being $100," said Professor Eldridge. "Several students have consulted me about entering, and I feel sure others are planning to do so."

country," Doctor Koo said. For three hundred years the Chinese government was under the reigns of a powerful regime. In 1911 a new government was set up, but for sixteen years there was confusion. Finally, in 1927, a convention met in Nanking and drew up a constitution comparable to that of the United States. This was published in 1934.
The new government was just beginning to function, said Doctor Koo, when the Japanese began war and the United States constructed which was just beginning.
"Looking at the Chinese people themselves we find a historic old people living under institutions and spirits of the past three hundred years," he went on to explain. Unsurprisingly, they feel at all the. They did not know what patriotism meant nor did they care. But now there is being built up a new spirit—love of country. The great sleeping giant of China is awakening slowly to the realization that China does too much to fight. All this new feeling was around by the recent war."
One interesting thing is the desire of the Chinese students to fight. But the government says no. China looks on her students as the potential saviors of China from its plight.
Points Out Points of Conflict
Are Building Up New Spirit
Doctor Koo pointed out what he terms certain points of conflict that have arisen during the past three years between the two countries. In the first place he pointed out that Japan wants China to develop raw materials and send them to Japan to be manufactured. Secondly, Japan is under a strong military leadership with a strong army, while China has in the past taken no action developing her army. Thirdly, Japan demands that China replace all her European teachers with Japanese teachers. This would tend to teach the Chinese to think in Japanese terms. In the fourth place, Japan demands that China set up a central government.
In concluding his lecture Doctor Koo pointed out that if Japan conquers China the above demands will be fulfilled. If Japan will take in remaking China.

London, March 19—(UP)–British force to strike a Mediterranean bargain with Mussolini and thus three years of Anglo-Italian disputes is approaching a successful foreign office spokesman said tonight.
Meanwhile Polish mobs turned their wrath from Lithuania tonight to take reprisals against Jewish elements here as the result of bank that developed while it was thought that Poland was about to go to war;
An effort to turn a diplomatic somersault and convert popular feeling for war against Lithuania into a challenge, another lovely wake was evident, however.

NUMBER 118
Prepare For Coming Election
Campaign by Campus Political Parties Expected To Begin This Week
Campus political guns are being primed today in preparation for campaign bombarding in the annual "big push" of the men's spring sleec-
Opening sbits will be heard this week. While the election date has not been set, chances are the voting will take place in the week of April 4, probably on Thursday, April 7. The matter is entirely up to the P.S.L. -controlled Mon's Student Council, which can set the date for elections between now and Easter vacation, provided two weeks earlier is provided.
The coming election will see the first test of a new election system, established last spring when the "As-associated Men of the University of Kansas" voted in approval of an amendment redistricting the Hill for amendment restricting the Hill for the spring balloting.
First Test of New System
For P.SGL, the campaign will be a stubborn battle to retain Council control handed them on a silver plaster last fall when five Pachacamac members fell victim to the ineligibility purge. For Pachacamac, it will be a spirited attempt to regain the ground that was won last spring when it slipped through the election with a one-vote majority and lost with less effort in the classroom last semester.
Membership Is Reduced
The new voting system to be used for the first time reduces the Council membership to 21 and adds two names to the list for the freshman election in the fall. Another change provides that the defeated candidate (or if there are more than two, the second choice) will have a seat upon the body as representative-at-large. Remainder of the Council will be elected by proportional representation from four districts.
District 1—Three Members
Schools of Law and Medicine, and Graduate School.
District 2-Three Members Schools of Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Business and Education. District 3-Three Members
District Three Members School of Engineering and Architecture.
District 1—Eight Members College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Parties May Fill Vacancies
Formerly, vacancies caused by ineligibilities were filled by the party with a Council majority. Under the new plan, the less brilliant fellow with winning ways and strong support no longer will be at a disadvantage. For any party which offered a complete council ticket in the last election now may fill any vacancy caused by ineligibility of its candidate, regardless of whether that party is in the majority spot.
The coming campaign will be the twenty-sixth year Pachacancas has candidates for a student election. In its fourth campaign P.C.G.L., still in comparative political infancy, is yet one of the strongest factions the "Rising Sun" party has ever faced.
Antique Instrument Is New Museum Gift For Civil Engineers
A surveying instrument, used in Kansas 50 to 75 years ago, has been presented to the museum of the department by R. M. Fitzpatrick of Lawrence.
The instrument is a small brass frame, about 2 by $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches, in which is pivoted a recording device of concentric dials. It is attached to the spoke of a wagon wheel, and the dials, suspended like pendulums, record the number of revolutions of the wheel.
By multiplying the number of revolutions by the circumference of the wheel, a close approximation of the distance traveled can be obtained

Graduate Shoots Ducks With Her Camera
Because Lorene Squire, '32, was unable to shoot ducks with a gun, she took up the hobby ten years ago of shooting them with a camera. Today she specializes in duck photography and travels hundreds of miles into the wild lake country of Manitoba and Saskatchewan in order to catch these fowl in their natural habitat. Miss Squires has "braved" dust storms and heavy rains to bring back her pictures. In the March 21 edition of "Life" magazine there is a page and a half devoted to this feminine photographer's accomplishments.
Miss Squires majored in dramatics while at the University.
