Dinosaur Hunter Gives Talk Tonight
Prebiotic Wonder w
To Be Pictured by Dr.
Brown in Hoch Auditorium at 8:20
A dinosaur hunter, Dr. Barrum Brown, who was graduated from the University in 1897, will unfold to students wonders of the prehistoric world in a University lecture at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Z229
Students to whom "paleontology" is merely a big word, would do well to attend the lecture by this outstanding authority from the American Museum of Natural History. They will go away talking learnedly of "saurians", "tyramosaurus rex", and "duck-billed dinosaurs", with a bit of actual knowledge to back them up.
The giant dinosaur that roamed the earth from 120 to 140 million years ago will be described and pictured by Doctor Brown. The story of excavation and field work of the dinosaurs is traced in still and motion pictures.
Doc wn has been supervising the development of the Dinosaur National Monument, located near the Uinta mountain range of Colorado and distict. It is in this district that he made his richest discoveries.
Mr. X., a mystery dinosaur, was discovered by Doctor Brown in his explorations last summer in northwestern Colorado. He measured 35 feet from head to tail, took 15 feet in a single stride, and left a footprint 34 inches wide and 34 inches long. In addition to discovering the footprints of Mr. X., Doctor Brown found the skeleton of a weird dinosaur resembling a horned toad, and skeletons of several smaller dinosaurs, most of which are new to paleontologists.
Doctor Brown will drive from Carbondale, his old home, to the University, arriving here at noon. Professor Hassan visiting professors and friends.

These big Missouri tokens are causing the music box box operators plenty of trouble. It seems that the things, with a little doctoring which ye studies learned quickly, will play the two-hit slot in the record machines. Do you think it would work tough. The big holes are padded. The operators were making money in record time until this token deal came along.

EDDIKATION
sometimes I sit and gaze and see
The man I really ought to be
A learned man so strong and free
A man with an education. I've learned to read and write and spell.
But I still say "good" instead of "well";
well ;
How much I know, I cannot tell;
reaction!
Oh, what an education!
I've studied hard the constitution,
That is my only restitution
Ever made in this institution—
For that's my education.
I've learned the ordinance of '87
Or was in 1877?
Sib things I know are not in Heavy
Such things I know are not in Heaven
That is a consolation!
That is a conorbita.
But one wish has been my misery.
For I've wished and wished to vast
degree:
I wish I could write poetry.
But THAT takes an education!

Discover Poison Plot
Soviet Accuses Sect e t Police Chief of Seeking Stalin's Downfall
Moscow, March. —(UP) —A gigantic poison plot by which Henry Grigorievich Yagoda, once the most feared man in Russia as head of the dreaded secret police, sought to make himself a "Russian Hitler," ruling as a dictator, was desiriced in grim details today at the trial of 21 Bolshievs accused of plotting the overthrow of Joseph Stalin.
Bulanov described his former chief as "a man who admired Adolph Hitler," and thought the German leader's rise "from corpulent to dictator" was something to be emulated.
Bulanov said that Yagoda planned to supplant even Nikolai Bukharin, regarded by Stalin followers as the ruler of Ukraine, to plot overthrow the government.
He said that Yagoda aspired to the dictatorship as head of the council of the people's commissars (a post now held by Viachelos Molotov, usually regarded as the president of the Soviet Union) and that Bukharin and several others would merely be secretaries of the central committee.

not going to speculate on the future of the triumvirate or any appertaining questions until he had diated the evidence.
Dean Stockton Speaker At University of Colorado
"Whizzer White is certainly a very nice fellow," said one of Dean Stockton's observations on conditions at the University of Colorado. "The dean of the University School of Business was the principal speaker at the annual business school dinner there last week, and I was very pleased with the ball player and Rhodes scholar White is not a business major."
Professor Stockton has just returned from a trip of inspection at the Colorado school of business, concerning which he will report to the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. He a is member of the standing committee on research organization, which includes such universities as California, Harvard, and Columbia.
In his visit a luncheon was given in his honor by former University students and former college teachers at the University of South Dakota.
Dr. H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, and Dr. R. H. Beamer, associate professor of entomology, spoke at the Entomology Club meeting Monday afternoon. They reported on the meetings of the Central States Entomology Board which they attended in Columbia

New Courses Offered This Summer
Additions to Curriculum
Made To Meet $t$ at $e$
Requirements Regarding
Teacher's Certificates
In co-operation with the new state requirements regarding the two-year elementary certificate for teachers, the University is to offer several new courses in the Summer Session of 1938. These courses will be offered by the University to fulfill the requirements for the Two Year Elementary School certificate.
The new certification law passed by the legislature is that after June 30, 1938, the current requirement for the 60-college-hour elementary certificate shall be replaced by a new program. This new program represents the greatest single forward step in education policy that has taken place in Kansas within a generation, educators believe.
Numerous Electives Offered
Students already enrolled in the University or those planning to enroll in the summer session will be interested in the new courses to be added to the curriculum. The University proposes as rapidly as possible to co-operate with the State Board of Education by organizing and offering the courses named in the required program leading up to $t$ the Elementary School certificate. In part, the new courses to be added are those which would be valuable as electives to the student seeking the certificate.
The specific courses to be added this summer are: Methods of Teaching Elementary School Subjects, 3 hours; Children's Literature, 2 hours; Principles of Geography, 3 hours; Public School Music Methods for Primary Grades, 2 hours; Public School Art Methods I or II 2 hours.
There are numerous electives which would be valuable in fulfilling the certificate requirements. Information concerning such course may be obtained from the office of the School of Education.
Enroll as Special Students
Other schools of the University will usually accept such courses as are consistent with their respective objectives as credit courses. The School of Education, since it is a professional school for teachers, will accept all of the courses included in the state board's schedule.
Students planning to complete a four-year course leading to a University degree are advised to ascertain the requirements for the desired degree as early as possible and to govern the selection of electives allowed in the two-certification program accordingly.
For the present, students planning to enroll in the University as candidates for the Elementary School Certificate will enroll as special students in the School of Education. Credits so earned may, if the student so desires, be transferred to the school of the candidate's choice on petition to the faculty of the school concerned.

Then the group starts to work on the opening number and theme of the production, "Swing in Spring," under the direction of Jayne Coats. Rehearsal progresses smoothly for 15 minutes until Rolla Nuckles, director, shows up dressed like a page from Esquire. Handsome Rolla's attire—light green tweed suit, brown shirt, shoes, socks and hat—threatens to break up the practice session for a time, but Producer Jim Coleman restores order with threats of violence.

"You girls have just to smile," advises Nuckles, "Sayles is the only one who is smiling. You've got to put out that personality all the time."
Coats concurrs and emphasizes the order. Coats is undecided as to the next step in the routine, but figures it out and the rehearsing continues. Comes Martin Maloney, dramatic director, to ask Coleman about a proposed act for the revue. Maloney's clothes are not sensational, so the chorus works on. Coats steps along definitely in front of the girls,

Election Polls Open at 8:00 Tomorrow
Voting for Members Of W.S.G.A. Governing Body To Be By Preferential System
Polls will open at 8 o'clock to tomorrow morning in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall in the annual election of W.S.G.A. council members. The women may vote any time during the day until 5 in the afternoon.
No Voting by Proxy
The voters are requested to list as many choices for each office as there are candidates because the votes are counted by the preferential method. In counting the votes, if no candidate for office has a majority of the votes, the name of the woman with the fewest is thrown out, and the votes are redistributed among the remaining candidates according to second choice. This process is continued until one of the candidates has a majority. Thus, the winner is the choice of the largest number, although not the first choice of all voters.
Every woman enrolled in the University will be qualified to vote for the chief council offices, although only freshmen, sophomores, and juniors may vote for class officers.
There may be no voting by proxy. The senior members of the council will meet in the office of the adviser early after 5 o'clock to count the votes.
