Seniors Make Another Effort Officials Announce One More Valiant Attempt To Name Memorial
The class of 37 continues its drive to hang up a new record for senior class meetings with another scheduled for 11:30 this morning in Fraser theater. The business of the outgoing class has been transacted in one meeting in previous years, but disagreement on the senior memorial called for a second meeting, at which only five seniors appeared.
Bob Childs, senior class president, looked hopeful when he made the announcement of the meeting, but said he refused to entertain any high hopes after the disappointing turnout Thursday. Seniors have already been cut out because cut allowed in to attend their class meeting, and class officials have been hard pressed to find a time at which a maximum attendance could be expected. It was finally decided to let senior consciences guide class attendance at the 11:30 hour and hope members to not in their appearance.
The class memorial is the matter to come before the meeting. Harry Epperson, chairman of the committee on the memorial, reported at the last meeting, but lack of a quorum prevented action being taken. An additional board member for the memorial Union ballroom, dioramas for Dyche museum, and a new stage for the ballroom were the three recommendations of the committee.

Fred Praile, heavy-hitting thirc baseman on the varsity baseball nine, is reported to have incurred the enmity of some of his teammates since he sacrificed the Oklahoma trip for a week-end of "jellying" and the Delta Tau spring party, thereby leaving the Jayhawks without an adequate replacement for the position.
The men's and women's riffle teams had a joint picnic at Tonga-noxie Sunday and it was not without its humorous incidents. In a softball game, Francis Humphrey came to bat and learned that his team had lost the split, the presence of the women necessitated tying his jacket around his mid-section and wearing it skirt fashion the remainder of the day. Then Sergent Engle found an Indian turnip (a species of bulb with the power of horse radish) and inveigled Betty Ruth Judd into tasting it. She took a big bite, beware, and couldn't talk until yesterday.

Last week you asked for some information about the P.E.O. organization for your curiosity as well as some others. For your benefit, I have been snooping about, and have found, to my satisfaction, an answer: To all purposes and aims, ideals and otherwise, the P.E.O. stands for what the initials mean, that of doing everything possible to make "Pa Ea Out," and as much as possible (Thank you so much, Snoop.)
Whether or not the boisterous nature of the Kansan Board banquet had anything to do with the new venetian blinds in the cafeteria, we don't know. We left the affair reasonably early and up to that point one had started to tear out the window shades. Be prepared for a lot of Union management for a constructive and decorative move.

Mr. Elbel's Community Recreation class is taking up American folk dances. The hour yesterday was spent in teaching and practicing the Virginia Reel. Mr. Elbel, due to ill health, was forced (*?*) to watch the dancing while the class was conducted (Bernard Farrer) or Maxine the teacher to Classio Woody. These two have lived among barn dancers since early childhood. Don Clinger furnished the music and his imitative interpretations at the pianoforte would be the envy of Paderewski himself. Outstanding performers were Daisy Lutton, Ann Hubbard

Lindley Stresses Mental Discipline in Talk
"The young person today must think or starve," maintained Chancellor E. H. Lindley in an address to Teopka before a gathering of honor students from Teopka High School, and justices from the Kansas supreme court, guests of the Rotary Club at luncheon Thursday.
"I condemn the parent who sends a young son or daughter to college with the advice to make friends and not to devote too much time to study," the school administrator is undermining the purpose of higher educational institutions."

Encephalitis Case In City Hospital
Miss Marian Sparr, 20, of 1322 Tennessee, a student here last year, was in the Lawrence Memorial hospital last night with encephalitis, and was given slight chance to recover by Dr. A. M. Fortney, the physician in charge of the case.
This case is Lawrence's third since the start of the school year, the other two being University students, both in separate buildings. The hospital within a period of two weeks.
Miss Sparr, Doctor Fortney said, has been unconscious since she was taken to the hospital at 11 o'clock in the morning with the dreaded deepey.
Spinal puncture tests last night showed that Miss Sparr has the St. Louis (contagious) type of the sickness, Doctor Fortune said.
Dorothy Spencer of Denver, Colo., was the first victim of the malady, and Robert Newlin of Lawrence was the second to die. Authorities could trace no connection in the two cases, both being of the non-contagious type according to the doctors in charge.
The probability of the disease being transferred to people who have recently come in contact with Miss Sparr is very slight, Doctor Fortune said, as but about one person in a second is susceptible to the disease.
The incubation period, although it is not an established fact, the doctor explained, is from nine to 14 days.

Hill Traditions Must Be Enforced. Say Ku Ku's
Castel Gandolo, Italy, May 17—(UPP) Pope XII's physician night ordered the aged pontiff to cancel all audiences until Wednesday at his residence in Rome to appease his condition which forces him to return to his wheel chair.
That the Ku Ku's, University of Kansas men's pep organization, are firmly in favor of seeing the traditions of the University maintained and strongly advocate their observance next year was disclosed by Bill Bailey, president of the club, late last night.
"With the introduction of a new director of athletics, a revised athletic set-up, and the plan under way in the Men's Panhellenic basketball department, it is necessary that the traditions of our Alpna Mater be instilled in the hearts of freshmen and that the campus as a whole become more conscious of these traditions. To this end the organization has pledged to do whatever within its 15th power." Bailey stated.
Plans have been made by the club to confer with Gwin Henry, newly elected director of athletics, and to extensive pep program next fall.

Government Bears Expense
of Watkins Memorial hospital. Letters explaining this proposed action with ballots on which to vote their opinions have been sent to 223 students whose names were selected at random from the directory. It was learned last night that over 200 ballots have been returned to Dr. Canuteson, and that they indicate a far greater affirmative reaction than expected.
The Washington, D.C., being conducted as the guest of the federal government as a part of a national campaign being waged by the United States Public Health Service for the control and eventual elimination of syphilis. It has been made clear by the federal government that it will undertake the expense of making the routine test of making the university decide to include it as a part of the physical examination.
Test Serves Three Purposes
It is understood that the Administration desired a poll of student sentiment before considering the ability of making the test available.
According to Doctor Cautenus, the test would serve three purposes. It would reveal a few unknown im- bilities, speedy treatment of the wille- would prescribe other care. It would also serve to make the student body aware of the problem of veneral disease and the possibil-ities of its control. The statistical returns would be of considerable value to the United States Surgeon General, through whose office funds for administration of the test would be supplied.
"The actual Wassermann itself is very simple," explained Doctor Cautenus. "A sample of blood is taken from an arm vein by means of a sterile needle; the test is performed on this specimen by laboratory technicians. Collecting the specimen requires only a moment and is no more painful than a fine pin prick."
It is expected that, with the final results of the poll in its hands this week, the Administration's decision on the question of making the test compulsory will be available early this summer.
Students Plot To Overthrow Government Over Their Coffee?
Ann Arbor, Mich—University of Michigan students congregating in restaurants and plotting the overthrow of the government was the picture painted recently by the Rev. Fr. Joseph A. Luther, dean of men at the University of Detroit, in justifying a recent ruling prohibiting students of that university to frequent restaurants.
Father Luther, according to a recent Detroit News, ruled that, "Mixed groups who leave the campus during class hours in cars or frequent adjoining restaurants will be subject to disciplinary action." Some Detroit students complained on the grounds that there are no study halls and that the practice of studying in empty classrooms is discouraged, and that the only place to go is to a restaurant. Newspapers told one woman student said that Mist Constance T. Maier, dean of women, has been calling women students into her office to reprimand them for "going with" men on the campus.
Father Luther, when asked to explain the ruling, is quoted in the News as saying, "They (students) tend to congregate in restaurants just as at the University of Michigan, 'chewing the fat,' criticizing the faculty and talking about overturning the government. They simply go over to the restaurants to get a couple of glasses of beer sometimes, which isn't a good idea for the morning classes."
