Freshman Women Must Vote Again
Because of mistakes in counting the last election, the freedman women will elect officers for vice-president and secretary Thursday. Nov. 12, at the polls on the second day of elections, will be building from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m.
Candidates for vice-president are Julia Eldrine, Maurice Gray, Cathere Elkre, Ann Reynolds and Margaret Charles. Candidates for successor are Vellina Wilson, Denise Lemons, Pegs Lynch and Isabel West.
According to Ruth Learned, president of the W.S.G.A., the election count methods are as follows:
"In counting the votes, if no candidate for an office has enough votes, the name of the woman with the fewest is thrown out, and the votes are redistributed among the remaining candidates. This process is continued until one of the candidates has enough votes to win.
"Thus, the winner will be the choice of the largest number, although not the first choice of all voters."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1936.
One of the Kansan "shots" who is a stickler for accuracy discovered that Asher was not covering the Varsity last Saturday. He hurried down and found that some sort of a drawing had been made. He got the names and hurried back just in time to catch the Sunday edition to press. He got the names right, but, oh my, he said they didn't. They didn't. They didn't. They won't free bids to the Freshman Frolic. He had not the courage to face the Reporting I students yesterday.
The Theta annes—ex P. A. D. house—had an unexpected guest this weekend when I don’t Don Phillips, a visiting D.U. and P.A.D. who saw the impression he still was the same old place. This suspicion was confirmed when he heard feminine voices on the second floor. Investigating, he found that he had been referred to Colby disconcertedly. He returned to Colby disconcertably.
The quaintly termed hot-spots of the village were decidedly crowded this weekend. As nice an assortment of blottos, singing Nebraskans, and what not as we have ever seen were there. Poor Dave Partridge claims he had a difficult time getting a seat.
Once again the more important papers in this area are in error. Readers of these sheets were led to believe that the R.O.L.C. uniforms and other safety equipment, but such is not the case. Bill Richardson had the only one. "I didn't object when they made me look like a streetcar conductor." He said, "but putting three conductors' buttons on the last straw."
The Beech-Nut boys of Kansas and Nebraska got together Saturday and had quite a time. Distributing problems were discussed, and our own Friedland probably told of the difficulty he had in getting into the school system and giving something away in the Pi Phi domicile. Note to Chet; we expect some compensation for this... say a few packages...
There's another embarrassed fellow on the Hill. He, under the stars, made much love to the gel with him. It ended with the statement: "You're a man's woman." She didn't say what he at this point that she was engaged to a fellow who's away may have had something to do with it.
Really, though, we think young Asher should leave that fellow David, alone. He's utterly charming.
Student Christian Federation Meeting
To decide on constitutional amendments, the Student Christian Federation will meet this afternoon in Myers hall at 4:30 o'clock.
Now that Homecoming is over, the women students have another big event to look forward to this weekend—the Puff Pant Prom, to be held in the Memorial Union building this Friday.
The dance will begin at 9 o'clock and will close at 12. Tickets may be obtained from the intramural managers of any sorority house on the Hill, or from the gymnasium. The price is 75 cents a couple, or 50 stags a stage. You will be awarded to the best dressed man in the best dressed couple, and the organized house which has the largest percentage present.
Louie Kuhn's orchestra will furnish the music in his usual style, and several extra numbers will be provided as special attractions.

"What does the Spanish civil war mean for you and me?" will be the subject of a lecture given by Le兰·Stowe, former Paris correspondent of the New York "Herald" newspaper, at 23 at the University Auditorium.

War propaganda, con and pro, can
deal to the theater-going public in
later doses at the premier of "Burry the Dead" in Fraser Theater last night.
War Propaganda, Pro and Con, Dealt to Public in 'Bury the Dead'
Pacifists squirmed in their seats during the curtain raiser, one act play, "Four Days Leave," which depicted the plight of a British army officer on leave four days durations. The war came to the glory of war and marriage.
Militarists squirmed longer and more uncomfortably throughout the feature production of the evening, "Bury the Dead." This uncanny story concerned itself with six men who came down and be buried. Their sergeant ordered them to lie down, their captain pleaded with them, the general demanded them to let themselves be buried and as a last resort, the war profiteers shipped wives, sweethearts and mothers to the scene in hope that they could convince their men that they should be buried. All failed, however, and the curtain drops as the six dead stand still. A machine gun manned by the general attempts to kill them again.
The department of speech and dramatic art will have to put forth a great deal of effort to maintain throughout the year the high standard set by its first production. The stage settings are realistic. The lighting was effectively worked out and the costumes harmonious with
Each of the characters in the play acquitted himself with distinction. The prompt, Jeanette Jenkins, e$d, had precious little to do.
Outstanding among the cast, however, were the six dead men who had to stand throughout the hour and a quarter of the show without moving. They were: Robert Calderwood, of the department of speech and dramatic art; Dixon Dixon, c37; Richard McCann, c40; Rolla Nunes, of the department of speech; and James Bradfield, c'unel.
Walter Bloch, c'37, as the hard boiled sergeant, wore a board of his own growing, picked his teeth, smoked cigarettes and otherwise conducted himself as the public's officer in army's non-com during the war.
Brown Elected
Dave Conderman, c37, sympathetic member of the burial party, portrayed a fine character. Other members of the burial squad. Joe Killen, c38, executive director and Robert Gard of the speech department, performed excellently.
Gordon O'Brien, c'40, was the sanctimonious chaplain who tried to give the boys a proper, Christian burial.
Honorable mention should be made of the performance of Prof.
To New Psychology Society
Washington, Nov. 9.—(UP)—The New Deal began fighting for two phases of its power program under a possibly serious handicap before the Supreme Court today, as it won a lower court test involving its labor policy and the investigative powers of Congress.
Power of the National Labor Relations board under the contested act to order employee election for col-lege chairmanship, hold hearings on charges of unfair labor practices, was upheld by the District of Columbia court of appeals.
Two appeals already before the court slated for argument not earlier than December, involve the companies to which lower courts held the law applied because they definitely were engaged in interstate commerce setteurs involved in the new cases were ruled in interstate commerce.
J. F. Brown, associate professor in the department of psychology was recently elected a member of the council of the newly formed Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
After handing down its first opinion of the new term today, the court assured a through constitutional test of the National Labor Relations Act by accepting for review five new laws that lower court held the law invalid.

Only a few dull moments existed in either of the plays and the pieces were picked up so quickly that it was scarcely noticeable. Shudders from the audience (doubtful as sound) were numerous and faint-hearted female spectators screamed when she discovered that she was a distinct success and the cast and its directors are deserving of congratulations.
Madrid, Nov. 9—(UP) —The military defense junta in Madrid struck a blow at hidden enemies in the capitals today as rebels claimed to have entered the city proper for the first time.
Madrid Defense Disarms Populace Local Fascists Made Helpless in Supplying Armaments to Rebels
Rebel headquarters at Talzear, just south of the city, announced that he rebel tank order entered Madrid Monday night over a canteen bridge across the Manzanares river, constructed in the darkness.
Col. Jose Miaa, chief of the junta,
ordered that all citizens not authorized
to bear arms must surrender
their weapons to the nearest police station within 24 hours or become "enemies" subject to court martial. He thus sought to spike the guns of the phantom "fifth column" boasted of by rebels, enemies of the loyalist regime in the city.
There was bloody fighting in the Casa de Campo, just opposite the royal palace but across the Manzanares river from the city proper. So fierce was the combat that observers could not venture near. It was reported, however, that the rebels made no gain.
The fourth day of the rebels' siege of Madrid found Gen. Francisco Franco's nationalists still blasting the capital with artillery and airplane bombs, but unable or unready to push their infantry beyond the suburbs.
Rebel artillery stationed to the south and west of the city, threw shells into the downtown district and into the University park. Madrid's university would be the most landed campus in the world. One shell landed squarely on the Casa Velazquez, a residence for French students.
Loyalist tanks left the city going toward the northwest, where it was able to turn around and circleing movement by the rebe troops drawn from the southern front

Government Tries To Settle Coast Strike
San Francisco, Nov 9 – (UP) —Edward S. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor, hammered hard at the strong divergent支撑 of the Pacific coast shipowners and their 35,000 stalking workers tonight to bring the two sides into a拼桌 conference as they unite in the tion in the maritime tie.
McGrady was hopeful of success but his early efforts met no immediate action from either side in the tight controversy. The dispute developed chiefly over who shall control the hiring of the thousands of workers who man the American flag and with home ports on the west coast.
Although it had been announced in Washington by Secretary of Labor Perkins, and confirmed here by McGrady, that peace parallels would be resumed sometime today, the day passed without bringing together the ship owners and leaders of the maritime and dock unions.
Spokesmen for the employers said they knew of no plan for a conference. The joint striking committee representing the union met late in the day for a routine session which was attended by three principally with strike policies.
Labor Head Hurls Charge at Lewis
New York, Nov. 9.-(UP)-William Green of the American Federation of Labor tonight charged John L. Lewis, leader of the insurgent committee of the industrial organization, with wrecking all attempts to settle differences between unions which have split the federation.
Green said Lewis's refusal to con-
fer with him mount Lewis would
now set up a rival organization to
confront the Green, who leapt the
greenleafed Green that a conference
would be "failure" to "change authority
loved by the executive council"
outlined by the union joining the
movement.
"I consider this one of the closing steps in a deliberately planned and established policy to set up a rival school, " he said upon his arrival here from Washington. "I predict the next step will be the calling of a formal conference at which independent schools will be formed." Lewis will be formally launched.
