HENRY ACCEPTS ATHLETIC POST
POLLS OPEN AT 9 TODAY
Regarding the proposed amendment.
The proposed constitutional amendment has but one feature worthwhile—that of extending a system of proportional representation to what are called districts one and two, which include about one-third of the men in the military (Engineering and College) already have proportional representation.
The remainder of the bill is merely the furthering of political party domination, being based on two-party elections. The bill provides that both party candidates shall automatically become members of the Council, one as president, the other as representative-at-large. It is clear that the of the fice seer need look to the politics party rather than to the electorate.
In the filling of vacancies, the bill, assumes that no future student governing body will be intelligent enough to select its personnel (which may or may not be true) and therefore gives the assembly no power in this capacity. Instead, it provides that the political party (a handful of men, usually) shall fill these positions with whomever is chosen. Will anyone except a ward-heeler ever be chosen this way? I doubt it.
A plan for redistricting, on party option only, is proposed, the functioning committee of which will consist in student personnel of two men from each party. The control of political parties again is evident.
The rest of the bill deals with eligibility requirements and freshman representation already existing, with significant changes in eiber portion.
In a word the proposed amendment, designed to remit Council inefficiency caused by party politics, secures party domination to a far greater degree. Representative government is denied, because the students cannot reject either candidate for president and because a political party is given power to fill vacancies which the duly elected representatives of the students on the Council are assumed incapable of doing.

Bruce Hurd To Address Fourteenth Annual Meeting
Will Name Honor Man Of 1936 in Convocation
All students in the upper 10 percent, all scholastically, of the senior class of each school will be named as honor students, and special awards will be made to the leading student in each of the other schools.
Bruce Hurd, '14, of Topkea, president of the University of Kansas Alumnium Association, will address the fourteenth annual Honors Convocation tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock on "Clear Block Ahead." The honor man for 1936 will be named at the convocation.
New members of Mortar Board, honorary society for senior women, and of Sachem, honorary society for senior men, will be named.
A special faculty committee, appointed by the Chancellor has selected the honor man from last year's graduating class, the selection based on the basis of character, knowledge of interest, service, and leadership.
The selection of an honor man was instituted in 1924 when Paul Endacott, of Lawrence, of the class of 1923 was named as the first honor man. Selection have been made annually since that time.

Office May Turn
Tables on Job-Seekers
And Go Begging
There will be numerous disappointed politicians without offices when the election returns are announced, but when there is an office without a man to fill it, that's news.
Possibility of this loomed light night with the statement of Prof. W. Stratton that Charles Lueck, Pachacamac's candidate for president of the senior class, has a slim chance in that capacity if he be elected.
University rules require that a man must have passed 12 hours the previous semester to be eligible for admission. A student's semester is carrying only 10 hours.
This will necessitate Lueck's petitioning the eligibility committee for special dispensation. Professor Stratton, chairman of the committee, said last night that it was "very important that such dispensation was granted
In the event that Lueck is elected and declared ineligible, the Council will probably fill the vacancy.

The design of the course will be to train engineers for production and processing of petroleum, as well as carrying on research into oil field problems, such as the disposal of wastewater associated with petroleum production.
The Geological Survey, of which Dr. R. C. Moore is the head and Prof. K. K. Landes assistant state geologist, likewise is on the Campus, and is interested in the petroleum resources of the state.
