BALLARD'S PETITION TO M.S.C. IS REFUSED BY SECRETARY ON GROUNDS OF LATE FILING
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1937
Zupanec Says Petition Submitted at 3 p.m. Monday Is Too Late for Consideration of Council In Meeting Wednesday Night; P.S.G.L.'s Contest Decision
By Morris Thompson, c'unel.
William Zupance, secretary of the Men's Student Council, yesterday refused to accept the petition of Bryce Ballard, ph 38; to fill the vacancy left by the ineligibility of Tom Brown, ph 37. The refusal was on the grounds that the petition was submitted after the deadline set by the official publication which called for the petitions to be submitted by Jan. 24.
This move on the part of the secretary came as a surprise to Hill political observers when P.S.G.L. obviously had such clear sailing into the M.S.C. majority by the filling of this seat by

We wish to thank Mary Katherine "Deadeye" Dorman for her time and work taken to write this column for us which appeared in last Friday's paper. The material gathered and the style in which it was written, together with compliments received are evidences enough that it is a fine bit of work and thoroughly enjoyed by readers. Through some error her name was not printed as on the writing, but he it known here and now, that it was her work, and the error was not intentional.
james Van Fleet, the Hill's note-worthy all-around student and Phi Beta Kappa aspirant, was confident that he had a very good average in Money and Banking, but just to be sure that it would end that you he studied for three days before taking the quiz. When time came reading the quiz he had a store of knowledge pertaining to the subject and wrote for three hours. Upon handing in his paper the professor asked, "What are you doing in here?" Your average makes you exempt from this final." Van Fleet pleased itself, but was upset as well as worn out. However, he did have enough energy left to tear up the paper he had written and walk out.
Jack Beverly, a D.U., was sitting on the steps inside of Sand hall doing a bit of last minute cramming before taking a final when giny trip dumping her back into the room that was accorded only a fleeting glance by Jack, but presently she spoke and called attention to something she was holding. Jack asked what it was, and she replied that it was a cramming exercise in sandramming. Presently she again spoke this time pleading that Jack hold the animal, which he did—but not for long because, well—he thought that he should brush his clothes similar to the mannequin in the young lady was brushing hers.
Hallie Harris, head of the department of janitors, and hater of living pigeons, is on another crusade to banish them from University buildings. Harris catches the birds mainly by the use of traps and has no trouble keeping himself supplied with food. His latest catch totaled 19.3
Unquestionably, the new type of "outstanding" Reporting I in student in the department of journalism is Bob Rowlands, who turned in a report string stating that he was the minimum of 100. He didn't let that bother him though, he had enough nerve to take the final in the courses and that is something!
Finals really must have been a strain on the stamina of some of the women as well as the men. It has been reported to us that several, Phi Psi detectives became curious each carrying a large package under the arm, turn off from Mississippi street and go into an alley. An investigation disclosed that the young ladies had merely disposed of four dozen beer cans—that's one dozen beers that they were either relaxing or getting "keyed" for really sailing through their stiff examinations.
virtue of the party now holds as a result of the mid-semerite eligibility purge of Pachacanec members. Just why P.S.C.L. should have waited until after the stipulated date and thus incurred this set-back, is also a surprising note.
Reasons ARE Subjective.
In refusing to accept this petition, Zapatero and I hereby declare my refusal to accept this petition as valid, as it is presented at 3 p.m., Monday, Jan. 25, in light of the fact that my notice in the official bulletin in the Kansan set the latest date for acceptance as Jan. 24, this time (Jan. 25) of the meeting, deemed the Menti Student Council at the last meeting (Jan. 13).
Sec'y M.S.C.
(signed.) WM. ZUPANEC.
In answer to this statement and in criticism of the secretary's action, Howard Immel, 738, chairman of P.S.C.L., said: "The refusal by the secretary of the Men's Student Council to accept a duly authorized petition is supposed to be based on the proposition that such petition was submitted a day after the published notice had expired. In accordance with the constitution of the group of law groups for the governing of land groups and its activities, such petition need be filed only two days previous to the meeting at which they are to be the order of business and to be filled with the officer who today refused to accept such petition.
"From all appearances our political rivals wail for a delay, hoping that certain members might be declared eligible. But is it necessary to advocate for a political advantage? If such is true, the virtues of student government are lost and its activities become those of a few clamoring school boys, instead of representatives honestly public representation for the life of constituents."
"I hope that this may prove to be a misunderstanding, and that cooperation may soon replace conflict replaced with replacement replace animosity."
(signed,)
HOWARD "TONY" IMMEL But the delay that Immel suggests Pacchacamase is parleying for is not necessary, if the P.S.G.L. petition is held finally invalid, for Pacchacamase's have already filed the name of James Robinson, ph38, as a candidate for the chair. This petition was filled with the secretary on Sunday, Jan. 24.
Change Business Courses
The whole question seems to now be a matter of interpretation of the clauses in the constitution which deal with petitions.
Hinges on Interpretation
William Gough, c.29, president of Pachacamac, said the following in reference to the action of Zupancue: "The secretary's notice was published in accordance with the provisions of the constitution and his action is entirely within his authority."
But it seems now that all the pros and cons will drog out an already unwelcome meeting tomorrow night more-or-less of a political squabble.

Professor from Department of Economies Addresses Rotary Club
In a talk on taxation before the Lawrence Rotary club yesterday, Prof Jenna P. Jensen, of the department of economics, explained the new functions of the state and various methods of raising additional
Kansas experts on taxation, including Professor Jenna, have collected a table of possible income from new tax sources and also from revisions in the tax code to outline possibilities for increased state income.
In his address Professor Jensen discussed present exemptions on gasoline tax and stated that he believed it would be possible to check the "beaks" and still maintain exemptions that would be justified. At the present time, the state is probably losing between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 each year because of illegal exemptions.
After the close of the meeting,
Prof. Jensen answered a number of
questions from the floor relative to
tax matters.

'Flu' Epidemic Less Severe
Only 17 in Hospital Now With Total for Year 86
Influenza cases in Walking Memorial hospital number 86 to date for this year with an average of three to five each day, although seven were admitted yesterday. Only 102 paattens are in the hospital now.
As usual, in an epidemic of this sort the cases are gradually becoming more severe. No student is dangerously ill, but recovery is slow. Last week, 3000 cases were reported in the state of Kansas, and in other sections of the country the disease is as widespread.
Searleer友情 accounts for three students in the hospital now—two of whom were admitted during the week end. This is an unusually small number considering the 290 cases reported over the state last year.
The following students were pa tients in the hospital yesterday;

Kansas Solons Propose Savings In First Meeting
Topkea, Jan. 25 — (UP) - Members of the Kansas State Logistitute have economy in mind as they propose a $400 million loan to the 30th biennial general assembly.
Chief of these measures to save the citizens' money is a bill introduced by State Senator W. C. Harris, D. Emporia, which would abolish the state primary system of election for all major office-holders except the governor. United States Senate candidates, as attorney general. The other state officers and congressional candidates would be selected by party conventions.
For several years plans have been discussed to abolish primary elections for minor state officials because they are not well known throughout the state and need to spend the state and money to gain a primary election victory.
Delegates to Three Conventions
Candidates for state assembly also would be selected at the primary convention system. The regular primary election of the four major contenders on three

Ingeniious Abraham Makes Post Cards In Critical Moment
R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the University post office station, had met the current finals turnover in the mails with thousands of post cards until Friday afternoon. Then it got too hot for him.
On Wednesday he sold over 1500 cards to students who were impatient to learn whether or not they funked. Thursday broke a record for the year with over 2000 post cards bought by worried students. But on Friday the post cards were sold during the morning order of 4000 cards. That morning, Abraham ran out of cards right in the thick of requests.
Not to be phased by a superdemand, Abraham gathered his wits, a pair of shears, and a number of over-sized cards. The result: until the needed supplies arrived that afternoon, students received government handouts, free hand-cut cards, and money bought. Abelmann believes he can withstand the rush if the students can, but he has fear for the weaker ones. Numerous have been the requests for "coast pards," he avers.
To date, Abraham has sold over 8,500 post cards and expects to exceed 10,000.
