Legislators:
Our buildings need attention too
NUMBER 112
Even in the years of prosperity, no legislature lavished money on the building programs of the state institutions. Came the rainy day, and since 1931 the University has suffered from the restricted means of the state, as have the other state-supported schools.
Insufficient and badly deteriorated housing and equipment impair the quality of instruction. If the University is kept on its starvation diet, the inevitable consequence will be a lower ranking among midwestern universities and colleges. A too-long continued policy of maintaining the University on short rations will prove to be, in the long run, much more costly than providing sufficient funds to take care of its needs as they arise. It has been shown in the librarian's report how delay in providing care for unaccommodated volumes is resulting in costly damage. This is only one of many examples at the University. The longer the process of depreciation continues, the more expensive will replacement be in the end.
Women's Pan-Hel Ball Date Set; Plans Made
New System Allows Each Sorority Girl To Attend
The women's annual Pan-Hellenic party will be held Saturday night, March 20, in the Memorial Union ballroom. This year every sorority may attend the party whereas only 10 girls from each house could attend their former parties.
Tickets may be purchased at $1 each, two stag bids being given with every ticket. With the proceeds of the party, the Pan-Hellenic Council establishes a scholarship fund which will be granted to some sorority girl.
Committees in charge of the party were selected by the council a week ago. Betty Sterling, fa38, has charge of the ticket-selling committee. On her behalf are Elen Peterson, cimul; Dorothy Peterson, fa39; and the other members consisting of one girl from each house. Chaperones for the party will be Ms. Elizabeth Mogular, adviser of women, Miss Olga Hoehy, associate professor of home economics, and Mrs. Lawrence Woodruff.
The regular Pan-Hellenic conference will be held April 9, 10, and 11. Attendance by abumae members will be optional this year.

on the SHIN
The men's intramural swimming event blossomed forth with an unexpected feature when some of the feminine spectators became overly excited. Mary K. Lattner outweighed her competitor over the aquatic feats of the beyes in the pool that she expressed an immediate desire to paddle along beside them. Chivalvale to the bitter end, Leo Johnstone obligingly propelled her into the surging waters. Finding herself somewhat upset, she approached other resource to swim deftly across the pool and ascend to dry land with as much womanly grace as circumstances would permit. Needless to say, enjoyment was raised among the spectators, but no amount of applause could induce aerowareness; damp tails to give an encre

VOLUME XXXIV
Dykstra Asked To Accept Post At Wisconsin U
10 Be Offered Position
At Conference Held
Prior to Regents'
Meeting.
Madison, Wisc., March 11, (UP)-Cherlance Addison Claunch, $25,000 a year city manager of Cincinnati, Ohio, will be offered the presidency of the University of Wisconsin, an official report disclosed tonight.
The university board of regents accepting his commission, empowered to canvass the field and recommend its showings to the full board, has decided upon the 64-year old educator and authority on public administration to succeed Dr. Glenn Frank, it was learned.
Dykstra will be offered the聘 at a conference prior to the regents meeting here March 19 and 20, and the board is expected to approve its committee's recommendation presented at that time.
Although his salary is not as great as that now received, the committee believes that Dykstra's desire to return to educational work will offset the difference between his remuneration as city manager and the university presidency which probes the university's relationship together with residence, car and chauffeur. Dykstra expressed this desire when the committee first conferred with him in Chicago more than a month ago.
Auditorium Gets Name
Hoch Memorial Is Name Suggested by Kansas Senate
The Kansas Senate passed a resolution Wednesday afternoon providing for a bronze tablet memorial to be placed in the Auditorium of the University requesting that the name of the auditorium be design; and for a Memorial Memorial governor, after the late Kansas governor, E. W. Hoch.
Senator Hackney, Summer, who sponsored the resolution said that he hoped the present legislature would appropriate funds for a new university at Kauai State College at Manhattan who known as the Carls Memorial.
The resolution not with no opposition in the Senate and little opposition is expected in the House.

Engineers Hold Banquet
John Kane, '00, Speaks at Thirty Seventh Annual Dinner
J. M. NOBLE, '26. SPEAKS TO PHARMACY COLLOQUI
J. M. Noble, who was graduated from the School of Pharmacy in 1926 and now holds a position with the Uplipn Pharmaceutical company in St. Joseph, Mo. spoke to the pharmacy colloquy yesterday morning, asking me to make on "Antiseptics," showing samples and literature on new antiseptics.
An estimated 265 students and faculty members of the School of Engineering and Architecture, and over fifty returning alumni heard John K. Kane, 90, vice-president of the Philips Petroleum company, speak at the thirty-seventh annual engineering banquet held at the Memorial Union building last night. L. H. Brotherson, 24, of Kansas City, acted as toastmaster. Entertainment consisted of a cello solo by Walton Ingham, c'37, an occurring dance by James Garrison, Dick Jenner, c'28, and grumping led by F. L. Brown, professor of applied mechanics.
Jewelers Cut Prices and Throats for Key Contracts
Mr Noble came as a substitute for R. E Berger, also an upjohn company, who was unable to come Lawrence. He was accompanied by the students of the University. They spent the afternoon visiting on the Campus.
"I'm bid $4. Who'll bid three and a half? Four dollars I'm bid—whilly say three and a half? Three and a half, three and a half—heep, I got three and a half. Now who'll bid three, wholly说三呢?" This is the tune of John Milton Phillips, M.S.C. prexy, as he bickers with representatives of the Bafour and Green jewelry companies.
The two companies, each trying to secure the contract for Men's Student Council keys, seem to have felt the contagion of the M.S.C. feuds and have started one of their own. The Ballfour company, having no die made up for the keys, is desirous of making one so that it may compete with the Green company in future years. Green, in order to eliminate the representatives' want Ballfour to make the die. The result has been that the representative organizations have underbid each other until the price has dropped from an original quotation of $4.50 to $2.50 at the last report.
It is rumored that if Phillips talks another cut out of the jewelers he will be sent to Toppea to hang with her feature over the appropriations bill.

Four Speakers Discuss Court Issue at Forum
Judge Means Is Oppose To Reorganization Of Supreme Court
Four forum speakers on the question, "What Shall We Do with the Supreme Court?" presented their views, emphasizing the recent proposal by President Roosevelt for liberalizing the Supreme Court. The forum, sponsored jointly by the free speech division of the M.S.C.-W.S.G.A. forums board and the American Student Union was held last night in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Hugh Means, judge of the fourth Kansas district court and first speaker, said, "I am opposed in all ways that there are to be opposed to the President's proposal to pack the Supreme Court." Speaking further he said, "The desire for power is pervasive. Without it authority we are lost. In our system that ultimate authority is in the court."
H. Lee Jones, pastor of the Unitarian church, spoke second on the panel, saying, "There is nothing in the Constitution that grants the court supremacy over the other branches of government. The people are the final authority. If they urge the passage of legislation as they did by a sweeter majority in the last election, five men must not be allowed to stop them."
Jones continued saying, "The business of the court has increased so much that, if for no other reason, it is advisable to pack the court." Up-holding the 70-year age limit contained in the President's proposal, he quoted Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes as saying, "It seems that the agd are tenacious toward a feeling of adequacy."
John Chandler, *€37*, the third speaker, who opposed "any tampering with the Supreme Court," introduced his beliefs with the statement, "If we can believe the sentiments our foreword dunes has just expressed and are emanating from Washington, we cannot escape the conclusion that we are being pursued by a black beast—the Supreme Court." Speaking of a possible constitutional amendment giving Congress power to re- enact a measure declared un-Constitutional by the Supreme Court, he said, "If we can believe that we should impose its own powers, there is reason to have a Constitution."
Paul Mozitic, c29, chairman of the New Citizenship commission of the Y.M.C.A., and concluding speaker, in reply to Charles' initial statement, said, "It is truly a black bead which can choose to choke the will of the people."
Conclining he said, "The crux of the matter is that a majority of 30 million people can be blocked in their desires for legislation by five men sitting on the bench of the Supreme Court."
John Bunn, coach of the Stanford basketball team and former Kansas athlete, visited last night and interviewed University athletic officials before going toKansas City, Mo.
Burn talked with Dr. W. W
Davis, chairman of the University
athletic board, and said that he was in the position of athlete director.

Men Are Defamed
And Women Glorified
In New Sour Owl
An article entitled "The Cradle Roll," is intended to classify men in their proper categories, and another article titled "Abased," is used for the same effect.

The winners of "The Most Alluring She" and "The Most Fascinating He" contest will be featured. Dorothy Fritz, secretary, says that "This issue should prove that man's curiosity is as colosal as women."
There will be an article on "How We Like Our Men," that corresponds to the article in an earlier issue on "How We Like Our Women." The usual jokes and goes on make up the rest of the magazine.
The next issue will be ready on April 1.
