New Election To Decide Offices For Frosh Women
*AWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11. 1836
As a result of a faulty election last week the freshman women will again go to the polls tomorrow, open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on the second floor of Administration building and secretary and secretary of their class.
Candidates for vice-president are Harriet Stephens, Julia Eidson Maurine Maughan, Catherine Ehrke Reynolds and Margaree Charles.
Ruth Learned, president of the W.S.G.A., explained the election count methods as follows: "in counting the votes, if no candidate for enough votes, the name of the winner is thrown out, and the votes are redistributed among the remaining candidates. This process is continued until one of the candidates has won." Thus, the winner will be the choice of the largest number, although not the first choice of all voters."
Candidates for secretary are Sarilou Smart, Velma Wilson, Denise Lemoine, Peggy Lynch and Isabel West.

John Wedding proved that his name has made an impression upon his train of thought. In economics class yesterday morning a definition of license was given as the right of use to do business. John asked, "How about the marriage license?"
Last Saturday night after lots of Homecoming spirits, one of our students made his way home by grasping chunks of the frosty night air to maintain his stability. A girl came up and knocked on the silent house to taps to gaze at the old creature who was going past sleeping homes and whispering trees. He reached home and as he got his key out his house mother opened the door for him. He throw back a handkerchief and took a deep breath and "I say, where's the mail? I must have a letter. Isn't the mail here yet?"
We got a letter (they are always welcome) today which is ...
"We think Bob S. of law school fame is in need of advice. It seems that during the weekend he hung his pin on an A.D. Pl. The advice he seeks is how can he get the pin back?" (sumed)
The Finder-Outers
Somewhere amongst fellow students we have a real instiller of school spirit. After the game Saturday, some of the Nebraska teachers met with him for various and unruly reasons. In walks our KU. student and proceeds to get acquainted with them. Before long, he had the Nebraskan ks yelling KU, cheers and singing our alma mater with all the emotion and meaning that a dye-in-the-wool Jaywalker could give.
Dot Spencer of the Theta lodge is the most efficient pledge we have ever seen or heard of in view of the fact that Monday night she was in such a hurry to deliver a mess during study hall that she fell over a great big bunk of nothing in the middle of a smooth Theta floor and turned her ankle. But from the bandage of gauze and tape she has on her it must have been her leg knew her knee to the tip of her loses.
Y.W.C.A. To Close Finance Drive Today

Registrar Reports Withdrawals Up to Par At K.U. This Year
With the largest enrollment in history taken care of and being well settled into the routine of University work, the office of the has another task to dispatch. This is usually nevertheless a task that is ever a part of the University. George O. Foster, registrar, reports the usual number of withdrawals this year. Some have come, have tried, but not make it. Some have attempted the Hill, but it was too steep.
Homeisickness, financial difficulty; scholastic inadequacy, and many other factors figure as the causes of withdrawals. But in considering the reasons for leaving, and how to cope with them, who have not stayed, we must remember the words of Mr. Foster, who sees the many come and the few go. "A University of some 4500 souls is a sizeable community. It represents a fairly accurate cross-section of human life, and hence, it represents the cause of success or failure that may be found in life."

Perhaps the strongest frank of the war occurred when a shell struck the roof of a house in Almendro street, crushed through three floors and left the children unoccupied by two sleeping children without seriously harming them. The shell had not exploded when it hit the bed and the children were thrown out of bed and bruised.

Gradually the idea of boots and big hats died out and for many years the engineers had no particular mark of distinction. However,
FILM TO BE SHOWN
Boots Die Out
It all began years ago in the dum history of the University, this idea of the senior engineers distinguishing themselves by a special mark of some kind or another. At first they were proud of the fact that they were prepared to meet the world on equal terms and rough it, and in those days, their distinction came from the ten-gallon hats and lace boots that they wore all the time. In those days the rivalry between the senior students and the senior engineers knew no bounds and any time a member of one of the groups could think of a clever trick to pull on a member of the other school, he was surprised with an even more brilliant examination answer.

Members of the Ottawa legion drum and bugle corps claim they were accorded unusually discourteous treatment Saturday afternoon at the Kansas-Nebraska football game in Lawrence, according to an item in the Ottawa Horral. The corps had been drilling before the game on the field in the time designated for their appearance. As they did that the team of their exhibition, someone was outfitted as shouting, "Get that... out off the field." It's been there too long now.
The delegates will meet in the Memorial Union building where roundtable discussions will be held on subjects pertaining to student council activities, including the hiring of dance bands, student politics, athletic problems and other campus problems, and federal relief in schools.

Many in the stands heard the remark. Drum Major M. Joe Hartley and other members of the corps called the man, and although he tendered an apology it was not followed. The man was accompanied with K. U. officials and they apologized for the unseemingly action of the student.
The personnel is not yet entirely happy about the incident. The Ottawa corps, state champions in the Legion, made the trip to Lawrence upon invitation and without charge, and stated they were given nothing more than admission to the game and a meal.
The Men's Student Council will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the council room of the Memorial Union building to hear reports on preparations for the meeting of the Mid-America Schools of Schools to be held here Saturday.
This association is designed to consider problems pertinent to student government in midwestern schools and colleges, and will include representatives from many colleges and universities in this section.
Men's Council Completes P1ans For Convention
The engineering council asked for suggestions a few weeks ago from members of the School of Engineering as to what sort of an emblem would be most popular. A committee composed of Vie Koeler, Bill Brown, and Bott Bitman set to work and last week reported that they had completed their suggestion which called for a plain brilliant green mole skin shirt, with zipper front and patch pockets, was adopted by the council. The shirt can either be worn as a shirt alone or as a separate jacket.
Order Shirts Soon
At last the senior engineers can have some peace of mind and devote themselves to their slide rules and construction problems with the pleasant thought that their badge is now intact and safe for future engineers. The law students can have their canes, but the engineers have their green shirts. Once more tradition is rescued from a sad grave, and is back on its pedestal. Of the committee asked that all senators attend in their order for shirts to any member of the council immediately, as the order for shirts must be sent in by Friday, Nov. 13.
A Thought for the Day...
Again, let the peoples of the world place wreathes on the tombs of their unknown soldiers and mourn the destruction of millions of young men who had no right to die so nobly.
Again, let them celebrate the November truce, which in the minds of so many, ended the great war.
But for once, let them understand this; that the Armistice marked the end only of the beginning of a great war and that we who are for eighteen years have been celebrating its finish are participants in its continuation.
Let them consider that the wars in the Chaco, in Ethiopia, in Spain, and in Manuchira, and the hundreds of bloody and bloodless strikes throughout the world have been as highly significant, if not as monstrous, as the world war . . . that they are further manifestations of a restless and dissatisfied world seeking economic readjustment . . . that they are a transitional stage in a momentous social change, the next step in which may be even a greater armed conflict.
And, though it cannot be, would that they could realize and act upon the fact that force and brutality are not the solution to world problems . . . lost succeeding generations on future Armistice days have the opportunity of placing wreathes on the toms of the unknown soldiers who are the youth of today.

'New Leaders Diffused Through Social Mass'
—CHANCELLOR
Lindley Contrasts the Beliefs of Carlyle and Haldane in Radio Address
Contrast between the belief of Carl-yle, that "the history is the biography of a few great men," and that of J. S. Haldane, that "evolution has been advanced chiefly by millions of obsure persons who have loved their work and have invented ways to improve it." was made last night by Charcaster E. H. Lindley in a radio address on "Education in a Democ-lerian Society," and Carl-yle's tale was one of a series by University of Kansas as a part of the Education Week program of the University's radio station, KFKU.
"Within recent decades the conception of leadership has been clarified and enriched," declared the Chancellor. "There has emerged a new type of leadership, widely disfused through the social mass. It appears in every group, no matter how small.
Leadership Varies
"It is the expression of the craving for leadership. It is perhaps as important for society that there be a best woodchopper in a going to a best leader." The craving for leadership is the spark of passion and the mightiest contribution to human progress. The democratic view of leadership is committed to the encouragement and intensive cultivation of capacity for excellence.
"Leadership is as varied as the divisions of labor, and the 14,000 vocations of men. It is the magic of persistence, as varied as the associations of men."
Excerpts From Address
Other notable excerpt; from the address were;
"Whereas in 1840 the average level of schooling in this country was that of the second grade, in 1870, the average advanced to the fourth; in 1900 to the eighth; where in the high school. An amazing advance, indeed, toward the fulfillment of the American dream of Jefferson and of Horace Mann, and yet is survey of childhood anguages in a dream is still far from realization."
"In the group of youths from 16 to 24, are 24,000,000 to 25,000,000 persons. Of these, 12,000,000 are employed; five million are in high school, and a million in college. This leaves only one percent who have employed nor in school. Hundreds of thousands have never had a chance to work."
Lengthen School Period
"If the period of schooling were to be lengthened, it would help greatly; for it would not only助 to the education of the persons add to in school, but it would serve as a substitute for unemployment. Provision for this additional schooling would probably cost less than the ultimate cost of injury, frequency, and crime. Remember, the peak of juvenile crime is 18."
Students Receive Warning From Sheriff
"Student drivers must be more careful!"
That is the warning of Sheriff Fred A. Vogler in regard to alleged traffic violations in the West Hills district. According to Sheriff Vogler, the residents of West Hills have presented to him a petition complaining of the recklessness of student drivers, especially during the summer, outside of the city limits and not subject to law enforcement by city authorities, a county patrolman will be assigned to the district.
Sheriff Vogler stated that one of the most flagrant offences is the failure to observe stop signs. All officers must obey all rules will be assessed a stiff fine.
