The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
Regarding the proposed amendment .
This is the event in a series of four articles expressing the views of outstanding Americans about the men's constitution. Today's article is written by Don Nobile, *vs.* PS. Larry Schoeller.
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 used in this way, as replacements will be made by the party of the man originally elected. With this guarantee the party shall retain the seats which were usually held by the 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 again find that his leader is only nominal. Any potential leader should be given the would-be he 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 none of 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 will recognize the merit of the pro-citizen program. The student can undoubtedly accomplish much more than is ever feasible under the existing system.

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 Kappas did some further listening in, enjoying the rowdiness and laughter. The box of 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—"Dimplees." It is evidence that he dislikes the name because he is reported trying to bribe people not to call him by it. "Dimplees" 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 Myridean Scott was advised by a friend to have her car thoroughly checked—gas, gase, water, oil, and new air in the tires. At the filling station Myridean did the attendant somewhat baffled when the new air was mentioned, but Myridean 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
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 4 p.m.
Yesterday's program consisted of reports on the psychological section of the Kansas Academy of Science which convened at Manhattan last Friday. These were delivered by Alfred Baldwin, gr. who read his paper, "Patterning in the Learning," and Henry Van Swearinger, gr.

Kansas Players Open Week With Puzzling Play
Younger Generation Rise In Revolt at Fraser Theater For Four Days
By Ken Postlethwaite. c'37
The theater going public got a pretty heavy dose of drama and drama when the Kansas Players presented the new English play, "Land's End."
The story concerned itself with the supposed clash between the younger and older generations and attempted to prove that it is pretty well fed on its youths.
Accept Inspection Plan
Food Handlers for Fraternities Must Pass Examination
All fraternity food handlers will undergo an examination to tes their physical fitness for performing such a duty, the men's Pan-Hellenic Council decided: in a meeting in the Fine room of Memorial Union building Sunday morning. Their respective organizations had approved the council's resolution requiring such an inspection.
CORRECTION
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 students serving students of the University.
It was ruled that beginning next year fraternities will not send corsages for their parties. The ave-

Through an error, the Kansan gave the classification of Marvin Cox, running on the P.S.G.L. ticket, as e38. Marvin Melvin Cox, e39, is the P.S.G.L. candidate. Marvin Earl Cox, e38, is not connected with the party.

The final aim of the amendment is the election of the most capable men available. Previously, parties found that excellent men must be omitted from their ticket because they were enrolled in the wrong school. The selection of candidates from districts containing several schools allows a much wider choice. The system of proportional representation in addition, by its very nature, promises that the strongest men from each party will be elected. Finally, with the assumption that the defeat of a presidential candidate eliminates one of the foremost men from participation in student government, the amendment proposes that he be seated in the Council as a representative at large.
VOLUME XXXIV
Regarding the proposed amendment.
The second aim of the amendment is to secure harmony between the affairs and the majority of the Council. The duties of the vice-president, secretary and treasurer are confined to executing the instructions of the Council. Therefore, they are to be elected by the Council from its own number and are responsible to it. The president, however, has as a major portion of his duties the task of representing student opinion on numerous committees. These broader duties indicated that the president should be chosen by the students themselves.
Our first aim is the extension of proportional representation. To this end, the University is divided into districts with representatives assigned to each district in proportion to the number of male students. These representatives will be elected within each district by a preference ballot assuring that all shades of opinion will be reflected in the results. The system as a whole guarantees that the majority will be represented by the Council will go to the party with the most votes.
This is the first of a series of four articles which will interpret the proposed amendment to the constitution of the Men's Student Council. Two will be written by members of PSAGL and two by members of Milton Hill, president of the MSC.
The proposed amendment to the constitution of the Associated Men of the University of Kansas is a sound and beneficial reconstruction of the present Council machinery. It is founded on principles of recognized justice assigned to aid in securing a harmonious function of student government.

Economist and Editor Are Foes in Debate
Possibility of Recovery Under Capitalism Is Subject
Lewis Cory, prominent economist and author, and Herbert Agar, Pulitzer prize-winning editor of the Louisville Courrier-Journal, will debate the question, "Is Real Recovery possible under Capitalism?" Thursday evening at 8:20 in the University auditorium.
Agar answers "Yes" to the title question, "The People's Choice," published in 1933, brought him the Pulpit prize for the outstanding contribution to American history during the year. This story of America's presidents down through its leaders, which Agar names "oligarchy, democracy and plutocracy" was followed in 1953 by "The Land of the Free."
Cory will uphold the negative side of the question. He has contributed extensively to liberal magazines during the past dozen years, among them the Nation, the New Republic, the Forum, and the Amals of the American Academy of Social Science. A series of articles in the Weekly News magazine predicted so accurately the creation of Wall street and the subsequent depression that he was at first blamed for causing it.
Agar was graduated from Columbia University with the bachelor of arts degree in 1919. A year later he received a master of arts degree from Princeton University, and in 1922 the doctor of philosophy degree from the same institution. Unlike him, Cory has never attended a college or university. Nevertheless, Cory was chosen in 1929 as a fellow at the Brookings Institute of Economics, Washington, D. C. the next year. He also served such a position. He also served as associate editor of the Englecopedia of Social Sciences during 1931-34.

Kansas City, April 3—(UP)—The 600 sit-down strikers who occupied the big Ford Motor company assembly plant here more than 24 hours, marched out of the plant late today in snake dance formation behind a brass band.
They came out immediately after Ed Hall, second vice-president of the United Automobile Workers of America advised them that he had been sent to Iraq, and union man would be discharged if the strikers surrendered the plant.
From the veil of circumstances surrounding a murder mystery three youths pluck the solution and evade the stolid misgivings of the older generation to furnish the plant for "Land's End," by F. L. Lucas, to be present by the Kansas Players in Fraser theater tomorrow night in the first appearance of a four-day run.
Mary Beth Schreiber, *cunic*, will play the part of the youthful lead, Valentine Galbraith. Other student members of the cast are Martin Maloney, *c37*, who will interpret the song, Danny Fossey, *cunic*, in the role of Tony Morrow, a friend of the family; and Dorothy Derft, *cunic*, as an ancient

Y.W.C.A. Is Out In Latest Plans Of United Front
Revision of Constitution
By Women Would
Render Council
Powerless
The organizing committee of the Council for Social Action—the united front proposal—meeting for the first time Friday in the "Y" office, decided to proceed with organization without the Y.W.CA.
The proposed constitution has been accepted by the Y.M.C.A., American Student Union, and the Peace Action Committee. The organization committee believed irreconcilable the revision by Y.W.C.A. which would have left the council powerless to initiate action without the express consent of the governing bodies of all four constituent organizations. The decision to proceed without the Y.W.C.A. came early in the meeting.
Discussion centered around amendments proposed by the Peace Action Committee. This organization wished the phrase "the defeat of fascist tendencies in all areas of life" to be deleted from the constitution, basing its objection on its too general nature. Delegates of the American Student Union and Y.M.C.A. agreed to recount votes against it, that the phrase be deleted. Both the A.S.U. and Y.M.C.A. had accepted the constitution without changes.
The Peace Action Committee had also amended a section calling for abolition of R.O.T.C. at the University and nationally, preferring "the abolition of compulsory R.O.T.C." The organizing committee agreed to resubmit this section, hoping that the Peace Action Committee would be able to implement the wording, in view of the earlier compromise. Henry Barker, c38, said he believed the Peace Action Committee would accept the proposal.
Other minor changes in wording made by the Peace Action Committee were accepted before submission of the constitution for final approval.
Paul Moritz, c39, presided at the meeting. Others present were: Harold Gregg, c37, and Don Henry, c39, representing the Y.M.C.A.; Gagp Hines, c88, and Bill Fusion, gr, from the American Student Union; and Roderick Burton, c40, from the Peace Action Committee.
