Connotation of Word Disliked by Men's Student Council
When the Bureau of Visual Instruction was taking moving pictures of Glenn Cunningham recently a large number of students were needed to make the surroundings complete. The student group was easily assembled but then came the problem of who would have the honor to watch Wade S. Freed S. Mongeryon, director of the Bureau and former Paola high school teacher, quickly solved this by picking out Drew McLaughlin and Jim Polinghour, two of his former students in Paola, placing one on each side of Cunningham. All of the other students seemed to note the conspiracy but didn't mind so much since Mr

this decision was reached despite the fact that at two previous meetings at which members of the Council were present, the idea of holding a peace strike was unanimously approved. The first meeting was a conference of the committees of 15 Hill organizations who are sponsoring the strike. At that time the representative committee of the M.S.C. voted with the rest in approving the strike. Then at a mass meeting at which representatives of the W.S.G.A. were present, the vote to hold the strike, the proposed program, and the list of speakers were again approved unanimously.
Members of the Peace Strike committee said last night that the strike will be held outside if the M.S.C. did not authorize a peace concession in the Auditorium. Since the M.S.C. has no scheduled meeting this week the approval for a peace concession in the Auditorium will probably not be forthcoming unless a special meeting is called to authorise the petitioning

Last Year's Winners Fail Wichita North Takes Class A: Kiowa Wins Class B
The thirty-third annual Kansas Interscolastic track and field meet, run at the University of Kansas as a preliminary to the Kansas Relays, saw some decided upsets in the order in which the teams finished, compared to the finish of the year before, and the result was that the 220. Two records, however, definitely were broken—the discus and the broad jump.
In both Class A and Class B, the defending champion was deposed, and with a vengeance. Summer High of Kansas City, which finished first in Class A last year with 26 points, won a lot of heats in the preliminaries, but in the finals got only a third place. The champions last year with 21 points, dropped to a tie for 13th place, and a total of 5 points.
The outstanding record breaking was in the discus, where Kinney of Wyandotte set a record of 141 feet, $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches, to better the mark of 135 feet $8\frac{1}{2}$ inches, made in 1930 by White of Pleasantan.
Richard Underwood of Wichita North added a half inch to the record of A Cain of Kansas City last year, by broad-jumping 22 feet, $9 \frac{1}{4}$ inches. Better time was made by both classes A and B in the 200-yard low hurdles that was made last year, but
Upsets were somewhat less in Class A, however, since Wichita North moved from second to first place, with 23.5 points; Wyandotte from fourth to second with 19; Atchison and Hutchinson tied with 18 points. In Class B, Pretty Prairie, which was in 28th place year, and Hamilton in the scoring at all, this year tied for fourth place with 10 points. Waterville, with 16, moved from eighth to fourth place; while Chase County Community, in second place last year, dropped to fifth. Eskridge, in fourth place last year, dropped down to a single third place. Kiowa led with 30 points.

The speech by Senator Wheeler which was deleted by the state board of censors concerned Wheeler's opposition to President Roosevelt's proposal for reorganization of the judiciary. Huxman said he had not been able to reach a man of the board, to delete the speech. She said she ordered the deletion because "the senator's remarks were partisan and blamed."

At New Height; Sam
Francis Puts Shot For
Relays Mark
Archie San Romani again turned the tables on his mile rival, Glenn Cunningham, yesterday to win the special mile race which was the featured event of the fifteenth annual Kansas Relays. The time of the game was closer than the existing Kansas Relay record held by Cunningham.
Cunningham took the lead at the gun and held it for two laps. San Romani set the pace during most of the third lap, and then Cunningham again took the lead. Midway in the back stretch Cunningham began his famous sprinting drive, but faded in the home stretch, San Romani put on a driving finish to lead Cunningham to the tape by 10 yards.
Going into the third lap, Cunningham ran too close to the flying spikes of San Romani, and received spike cuts on both shins.
Cunningham's Kick Fails
Cunningham's Kick Fails
This fact coupled with sore legs from running on board tracks all winter seemed to take the sting from Cunningham's finish kick for which he is famed.
San Romani ran the mile leg on the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia's relay team only fifty miles later, and finished in first place.
Alton Terry of Hardin-Simmons set a new American record as well as breaking his own record in the javelin when he threw it 229 feet, inches. This mark exceeds the previous record book in 1926 of 206 feet. 84 inches.
Sam Franis, ace shot-putter from Nebraska, broke the Rely's record in the shotup with a heave of 51 feet, 6 inches. This breaks the existing record made by Dees of Kanas in 1935 of 51 feet, 3½ inches.
New High Jump Record
In the high jump, two men tied for first with leaps which broke the existing record by three-sixteenths of an inch. Jack Vickery of Texas tied for second with leaps. Teachers tied at 6 feet, 8 inches. The old record was made by Shaw of Wisconsin in 1830.
