Regarding the proposed amendment . .
This is the second in a series of four articles explaining the views of outlaws who are more motivated to meet the law's constitution. Today's title is written by Dan Donnorey, '83 PS'
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY. APRIL 6. 1937
In the years of student government under its present setup, much time of the Council has been spent in filling vacancies. Haggling over the men to be appointed and jockeying for positions have been instrumental in reducing the efficiency of the Council. Under the proposed reorganization plan, time necessary for the passage of constructive legislation will not be in this way, as replacements will be made by the party of the man originally elected. With this election that a party shall return the seat which it was originally accorded, friction among members of the Council will quite naturally be reduced, and a more harmonious group will be the result.
In the past two years, the presidents have gone into office with a Council membership minority. This has been due in each case to the two-year men carry-over, and, of course, has meant that again the efficiency of the council suffered. With the elimination of these two-year men it is highly improbable that a president will ever find again that his leadership is only nominal. Any potential presidency would be his to give, for past experience has shown that with only the annually elected members, the presidency would have been held by the majority party on the Council.
Were there the other benefits to be derived from this plan, in these two changes alone there is a decided improvement over the old system. Every man who is interested in a more efficient student government must benefit of the protocol. With its emphasis on undoubtedly accomplish much more than is ever feasible under the existing system.

NUMBER 126
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morrit
The Phi Delt's staged a pillow fight the other night which was greatly enjoyed by the girls next door. Pillows could be heard thudding so the Sigma Kappa did some further listening in, enjoying the rowdiness and laughter. The boys were also watching as the brothers went outside and turned the hose on, directing it at the sleeping porch.
The dignified president of the Senior Law class, Norman Jeeter, has acquired a nickname "Dimples." It is evident that he dislikes the name because he is reported trying to bribe people not to call him by it. "Dimples" seems to be a serious minded sort of person—for example, he called Dorothy Fritz the other night and entertained her by reading Browning's poetry and supplying his own comments.
For some time people have been reading books known as "best sellers," but these are nothing compared to a diary, belonging to one of the recently engaged coeds, in which some personal history is revealed. The diary lacks nothing—it tells about every college date up to the time of the engagement—it gives a personality sketch of the date along with different techniques. After marriage, the girl plans to make the diary available for the public and have it become known as a "best renter," thus expecting to receive some income from it.
This story is obviously late since it deals with an incident which occurred when one of our recent vacations began. Before starting home, Myrlandre Scott was advised by a friend to have her car thoroughly checked—gas, grease, water, oil, and new air in the tires. At the filling station Myrlandre told the attendant what she wanted. The attendant explained that the new air was mentioned, but Myrlandre had been advised so the old air was let out of the tires and replaced with the new air.

TO FORM PSYCHOLOGY CLUB
Students and Instructors Meet T Make Plans
Make Plans
Students and instructors interested in forming a psychology club at the University met yesterday afternoon in room 21 of the Administration building to lay plans for the proposed society. Two committees were selected to carry out the details of organization, and meetings were scheduled for every second Monday at 9 p.m.
Yesterday's program consisted of reports on the psychological section of the Kansas Academy of Science which convened at Manhattan has Friday. These were delivered by Alfred Baldwin, gr, who read his paper, "Patterning in the Learning Curve," and Henry Van Swearingen gr.
Joe Brewer, gp, president of Pai Chi homoorythm psychology fraternity, presided at the meeting. He urged all students who had had at least three hours of psychology at the University to attend at all interested to become members.
The program committee consists of John Coleman, c37; Henry Van Swearingen; and Henry Baker, baker. Coleman, Baker and Brewer will make up the constitutional and nominating committee. About thirty persons were present at yesterday's meeting.
Editor and Economist To Debate Thursday
The subject of the debate is "I Real Recovery Possible Under Capitalism?" to which Agar answers "Yes" and Cory answers "No."
In a series of articles in the New Republic during 1927-28, Cory pointed to the increasing maldistribution of wealth and income despite the claim of a larger share to the assets and foretold the depression of 1929.
His concluding paragraph in the article "Who Owns the Nation's Wealth?" is prophetic. Writing two years before the crash of Wall Street, he says, "combining the real owners of all groups, probably not more than 11 million individuals—or unnerving percent of the gainly occupied 60% of the income-yielding property." This is the final concentration.
In an article entitled "How is Ownership Distributed?" Cory gives a statistical survey of the claim that "the masses are becoming the owners of the stock." He concludes, "The workclass skill slightly increased its stock holdings, but this gain is absolute and not relative. The real gains have been seized by the middle class. The class concentration of corporate ownership is not being broken, nor are any indications of its being broken."
Concluding, he says, "Capitalism,
creates its own antagonists—collective
large-scale industry, the objective
economic basis of socialism, and
the industrial proletariat, the carrier
of socialism."
Any student who wants to take practice teaching either in the fall or spring of next year to receive consideration for a place in Oread Training School must apply now in Dean R. A. Schwegler's office, School of Education.

Kansas Players Open Week With Puzzling Play
Younger Generation Rise
In Revolt at Fraser
Theater For
Four Days
By Ken Postlethwaite, c'37
Back-Shop Philanthropist's Awards Steal Limelight From Honors Conclave
The theater going public got a pretty heavy dose of drama and dramatics last night in Fraser theater. The new play, "Land's End," the new English play, "Land's End."
A Murder Committed
The story concerned itself with the supposed clash between the youngest and older generations and attempted to explain why it is pretty well felt up with its elders.
nors To Maloney
For one act and a half the story runs along normally and a bit roughly when up pops the wronged husband and a ripe, juicy murder is committed. The last act is devoted to covering up the murder, confessing the murder and repairing the damage done. All in all it was a pretty upsetting story and not the sort you’d want, but it’s an event you feel like sinking your teeth in something more or less solid, then “Land’s End” could be recommended. Despite the handiwork of an unattractive red wig Jessica Crafton in the role of Judith Galbraith, intellectual member of the older generation, gave a fine portrait of the lonesome wife of an explorer. Allen Crafton, as Hugh Goffard, her lover, told me he car and gave an excellent performance.
**Acting Molores 16 - Arnoldy**
Martin Malone, m37, deserves the acting mentorship of the eventors for his characterization of Hector Gulbrath, the hard-hearted explorer. Martin was on the stage only for a few minutes. His untimely demise at the hands of his wife came near the end of the second act. Martin fell splendidly and heavily.
Leighton Fosey, c'uncl, as a young Communist enthusiast and son of the unfortunate explorer, did well very with his part. Maribeth Schreiber, c'uncl, sister of the Communist and disgusted younger generation member, gave a mud hysterical performance that was convincing. Her impatience with the older generation was ever evident.
Rolla Nuckles as Tony Morrow, suitor of the fair Schreiber, deserves mention for his performance. Dorothy Derfelt, 67, carried the part of Mrs. Newsome, a crochety, gossipy old lousekeeper.
the leaders of the now defunct Veterans of Future Wars. He enjoys
The entire cast had some difficulty with the English accent which it tried to assume.
"Oh!" said Miss Schreiber, with a good round "O" in evidence.
Presented in Fine Manner
But there were no glaring faults or defects in the play. It was a difficult thing to put across and the cast did not tell it. A quiet, appreciative audience helped as much as it could.
Each year he awards the Shore Trophy to the winner of the football game between the actives and the pledges of the Acacia fraternity, commemorating his game leg received while playing touch football for his lodge. Last year he designed, constructed, and awarded medals to
Concurrent with the announcement of the University honor man for 936 Friday will come the announcement by Schiller Shore of the recipients of the Shore medals to the greatest publicity seeker on the campus best work of art of the year, and for the greatest contribution to humanity.
Ah: querted her brother, Leigh ton Fossey. "Why say 'Ah'?"
The stage setting was one of the best of the year. Executed by Robert Gard it represented accurately the interior of a country English vicarage. Outside the bay window of the stage could be seen the rugged coast line and a part of the ocean. This some ocean came into the play later as sound effects when, from the audience, it ascertained that the wind was high and that the sea was falling thick and fast. Many in the audience had ascribed the role to the ill-timed shoveling of coal some place in Fraser hall.
Shore is foreman of the bindery vg out his tenth year on the campus to take the lead in the race for the most permanent student on the Hill. In the past several years he has been very generous in awarding trophies for various lessons and for no reason at all.
Shore has appointed a committee of one, consisting of himself, for research, investigation, and final selection of works in the various fields in which awards will be made. The committee's decisions will be announced Friday in the Kansas. The medals will be on display after that event. The committee's attempt will be made to secure the works receiving the awards.

Accept Inspection Pla
Food Handlers for Fraternities Must Pass Examination
All fraternity food handlers will undergo an examination to test their physical fitness for performing such a duty, the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council decided in a meeting in the Pine room of Memorial Union building Sunday morning. Their respective organizations had approved the council's resolution requiring such an inspection.
The council hopes that in taking the lead in such a project boarding clubs will in turn demand similar inspections, the ultimate goal being an inspection and examination of all food handlers serving students of the University.
It was ruled that beginning next year fraternities will not send corsages for their parties. The average fraternity man spends at least $2,000 a month, and was considered a little too extravagant. Any organization breaking over as a whole will be punished by the Pan-Hellenic Council. Individual violations will be under the jurisdiction of the fraternity it
Election of officers was held and the following men were placed in office: President, O. J. Connell, 173; vice-president, Marvin Cox, c39 secretary, Phil Thomason, c39 treasurer, B Rickeer, c38.

Protests Filed Against Tickets Of Both Parties
Lucke, Senior President Nominee, and Haines, Two-Year Man, Named
William Zapause, e 37, secretary of the Men's Student Council announced last night that the candidates of two men, one on each party's side, had beenprotected on Thursday. Pachacuacma protested the candidacy of George Haines, h 38, running for two-year representative at large. P.S.G.L. fitted a protest against the eligibility of Charles Laue, c 37, candidate for senior class president. Regarding the eligibility of the candidates, the constitution, the constitution of the M.S.C. reads: "He must have 70 hours to complete in the school in which he is enrolled at the time of his election or he must have 70 hours to complete before he is eligible to re-
Says Lueck Eligible
Hames said in regard to the protest filed against his candidacy: "The inner circle of Pachacane seems to have gotten some information that they have interpreted to mean my ineligibility. My candidacy is identical with that of John Murray's two years ago. I am regularly enrolled in the School of Business, but at the same time I am also a pre-law, having four more years at least to enjoy on the Campus of the University than that I have been for two-year tenure of office, then I concede my ineligibility on the basis of my failure in simple arithmetic."
The protest against the candidacy of Lueck was filed on grounds that he was not properly classified. The point was evidently one in a Council bill which states that "all students who have completed not less than 54 hours and not more than 84 hours in the College . . . shall vote with the junior class." Lueck is said to have 88 hours of credit.
A Pachacamac spokesman gaid. "We have checked the eligibility of Lauek with Professor Stratton, chairman of the eligibility committee, and unsofar as we know, he is eligible. If Haines is declared ineligible, we will waive all constitutional filing requirements and allow PSCL. to place another man on his wife, who will be eligible for the offer."
Pachacamac Offers Truc
The eligibility or ineligibility of the two candidates will be decide by the student eligibility committee probably some time today.
Meanwhile, the efforts of both parties to line up voters for their visit to the polls Thursday continued unabated.
Rice, 139, treasurer of Pachacamac party said. "In a meeting of canvassers and campaigners held last night, very little criticism of the Pachacamac program was reported. The plank favoring the equestrian co-operative boarding house for athletes was especially well received."
Tony Immel, T38, head of P.S.G.L also reported well-satisfied with the campaign. "P.S.G.L. workers report the best of success in the campaign so far. The co-operative book store and the non-fraternity planks were especially well received, and the non-fraternity two-one-ticket majority was also appealing."

MRS.WATKINS WILL PRESENT FOURTH GIFT
Well Known Benefactress
To Donate Nurses Home
That Will Supplement
The Hospital
OFFER TO REGENTS
Plans Will Be Presented To Board in Meeting Tomorrow
Tentative Location Set
This fourth large gift received from Mrs. Watkins will be the construction of a nurses' home supplementing the Watkins Memorial hospital, she presented to the University six years ago at a cost of $175,000.
A home for nurses, a gift to the University from Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, well known benefactors of the university yesterday by Chancellor Lindley.
Construction will depend upon the time required by the state architect to prepare the plans and specifications. A tentative location for the proposed building is just southwest of the hospital facing the south approach to the Campus.
The offer is to be presented to the Board of Regents at their meeting n Topoka tomorrow.
The purpose of this gift is to enable nurses to have a residence hall apart from the hospital proper, yet convenient to it. The erecting of this new building will release seven rooms in the hospital for hospital service thus increasing the bed capacity from 34 to 46.
At a later date, Mrs. Watkins plans to enclose the sun-decks on the third floor of the hospital, further increasing the capacity to 60 beds.
Makes Complete Hospital
James Complete Hospital
Doctor Camteneo said yesterday that this will complete plans for the help he made it as complete as any student he had at Healton added that, when the new building is completed "we can take care of any ordinary emergencies that may arise."
Preliminary sketches of the proposed nurses' home provide an apartment for the woman doctor on the hospital staff, with eight rooms for nurses. Also provided for in the plans will be a small kitchen, dining room and a large general living room.
Now under construction is Miller hall, a hall of residence for self-supporting women students, duplicating Watkins hall, which Mrs. Watkins gave to the University ten years ago. In addition to her gifts to the University, Mrs. Watkins has given to the city of Lawrence the banking building of the former Watkins National bank, for a city hall. She is also the donor of the Lawrence Memorial hospital and the nurses' home in the 300 block on Maine street.
