Freshman Women Must Vote Again
Because of mistakes in counting the last election, the freshman women will elect officers for vice-president and secretary Thursday. Nov. 12, at the polls on the second day of the election, will be building from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
According to Ruth Learned, president of the W.S.G.A., the election count methods are as follows:
Candidates for vice-president are Julia Edison, Maurine Gray, Catherine Ehrke, Ann Reynolds and Margaret Charles. Candidates for see-and-tell Smart, Velma Wilson, Denise Lennox, Fengy Lynch and Isabel West.
NUMBER 44
"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."

Guest Conductor
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 going to press. He got the names right, but, oh my, he said they didn't. He told them they didn't. They won free bids to the freshman Frolic. He had not the courage to face the Reporting students yesterday.
The Theta annex—ex P. A. D. house—had an unexpected guest this weekend when one Don Phillips, a visiting D.U. and P.A.D., who entered the house apparently under the impression it was still the same old place. This suspicion was confirmed when he heard feminine voices on the second floor. Investigating, he found that he had been wrong, and report has it he returned to Colby disconciosal.
The quintily 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 there were. 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 they formed bore Sante. Fe railroad buttons, but such is not the case. Bob Richardson had the only one. "I didn't object when they made me look like a street-car conductor," he said. "In the day, "but putting the three conductors on buttons on was 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 kitchen, but he had joys of giving something away in the Pi Phi dionicite. 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 gail with him. It ended with the state-of-mind of the woman. Of course the fact that the girl told him 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...

"What does the Spanish civil war mean for you and me?" will be the subject of a lecture given by Le兰ld Stowe, former Paris correspondent of the New York "Herald" on Saturday, 23 at he University Auditorium.
Mr. Stowe, who is probably one of the best informed authorities on this subject, having covered every major revolt in Spain since 1928, will present the recent internal struggle in Spain as one of the most significant social upheavals since the Russian revolution.
Not only has Mr. Stowe gained prominence for his work on the Spanish revolutions, but he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1930 for the best essay of foreign correspondence for the year and is now out writing work on international relations as diis considered an expert at interviewing celebrities.
MID-SEMESTER REPORTS DUE

The mid-semester period of advising for them begins on Wednesday, Nov. 18, and continues to the beginning of the Thanksgiving holidays. Sometimes during that period every freshman and sophomore in the College should consult his adviser about the financial support he is standing. The name of each student's advisor, together with the office hours of that adviser, will be found posted on the College bulletin board opposite Room 121, Administration building.
The College Office stresses the importance of this adviving period and urges all students, no matter what they think their grades to be, to see their advisers.

San Francisco, Nov. 9.—(UP)-Edward S. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor, hammered hard at the strong divergent stands of the Pacific coast shipwowners and their 35,000 striking workers tonight to bring the issue to light a peace conference which would lighten the tension in the maritime tieup.

Ludwig Manages to Spread Intelligence and Wit in 'Between-Bite' Interview
By Kenneth Postlethwaite and Dick Martin
Mr. Ludwig was hungry last night. After his lecture he took out of his overcoat pocket two sandwiches, wrapped in a brown paper sack, offered one to Mrs. Lindley, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. C. M. Young, the Chancellor and others who were gathered about him in the lobby of the Auditorium. No one else was hungry, though, for they all turned him down.
While he unwrapped the paper, reporters pursued the interview that he seemed so willing to give. Asked about his latest book he said he had just completed an history of a river. cities and villages along the Rhine

In 1932 at the International Congress of the Dance held in Paris the Jose company took first prize and was presented to a table "Table". Since then, it visits annually.
"It is called," he continued, "The Nile." and it is the life story of that river from its source to its mouth. From past ages to the present.
"The book is now issued in England and France and will be released in America in January. I am writing to you because of a woman—but I forget her name."
"What do you think of our election?" he was asked.
Mr. Ludwig bowed, neatly and precisely, to the interviewers in turn.
"Could you understand me tonight?" he asked.
"Where to send it? The Hotel Bismarck, not Napoleon, but Bismarck Chicago."
Assured that his construction was perfect and his pronunciation easily understood, he smiled his appreciation and asked that a copy of the plan be sent.
"When I started this tour I sain,
I would not talk about politics until
Wednesday; after election, but now
I do; do I dare say anything here?"
Roosevelt? Yes and No
Rosevevt: Yes and No
Assured that he was in friendly
territory, he went on;
"All eyes of Europe were turned toward America on the night of the election. For Germany and Italy it was a blow. They were anxious to see Roosevelt defeated. For the rest Europe, they are happy. Rosevelt is a prominent man in Europe, he understands European situations and Europe has grown to like him. He will be very happy to see an anti-fascist elected They know him and know what to expect from him."
p "Not only is Europe interested in the outcome of your recent general election but it is vitally interested in your people with regard to the coming war," Mr. Ludwig declared. "The only thing that is holding the governments of Europe, especially Germany, in check at this moment is what policy the United States will pass if and when the war is started."
"You Americans, your government, hold the fate of the world in your hands right now. The Europeans are holding back only because they remember the 'ghosts' of 1918 and 1939," he expressedly and his hands stretched out as if to grasp and mold into more specific term his statement. He pointed out that prior to the entry of the United States in the World War that the Germans, and indeed even the Allied forces were able to carry out an effort to ability of the United States to do much in turning the tide of war.
"But in 1918, those 'ghasts' about in which the German people had been murdered were called salty, the salty and were actually walking Soup and down in the streets of the streets of the city."
cities and villages along the Rhine river. There were so many of them, too.
"And no one in Europe has forgoed the speed and efficiency with which the United States met the demands of the time."
All this, according to the world-renown biographer and historian, is in the minds of the chancelleries of Europe. He pleaded with his listeners after the lecture to face the dangers of the present situation realistically—to become interested in the world problem—to do their part in bringing the United States into a position where it could with dignity say to the nations of Europe that are spoiling for war“Here, the United States has something to say about all this. Not only will you be willing to back up our ideals for world peace; by definite steps if necessary. Let’s calm down and, see if honest understanding can't be worked out some way other than by the inconclusive method of war.”
"That attitude and action on the part of the United States would put a stop to any thoughts of war by Europe. I have been on a two weeks tour of the middle west," he answered, "and in the morning I leave for Grend Rapids, Michigan. I was in New York, and Chicago before I
The War
Asked when he thought a great war would come, he said, "Much sooner than you think. No one can set the date but when it does come later, the enemy goes to earth. Always there are two opposing philosophies clashing, clashing, clashing (and he beat the tips of his fingers together to illustrate the point). Natons, like people, have always fought with people, fight them out by war.
"In college you have a president to take opposing individuals by the ear and lead them away (whereupon he took one of the reporters by the ear and pulled lightly). But in international affairs there is no president so you have war." Mr. Ludwig was dressed in the
very latest thing in evening clothes; midnight blue, double breasted tuxedo with corded silk lapels. His graying hair was brushed straight back from his forehead: Little iron rimmed, pince nez glasses set on his nose. The earpiece twisted two very kindly, intelligent eyes. "Come and see me," he said, "I

A Corner On Books
By G. V. M.
I am the Fox, by Winifred Van Etten. Little, Brown and Co., Boston. 359 pages.
The Atlantic Monthly has proclaimed this book as the 1936 Prize Novel.
It is a string of episodes in the life of Selma, russet-heated head girl from Iowa, who ends her career in New York. The first episode witnesses the death of the red gust of life of the fox at the mercillessness of the hunters and the hounds. Selma has a passionate and oddly reflective nature; such an episode calls forth sentimentality a sadness, a false cynicalism in her. The episode portray in art by her is the same as the time she is in the first grade until she is 25 and has been successfully beguiled to accept a proposal of marriage. The hunt was finished and she knew the glory of surrender. Was there then a glory of the slain?"
A new technique is employed-a continuation of a conversation with the episodes inserted to explain the stories. It allows the present thoughts and reflections. It is indeed worthy of the honor of the Atlantic Monthly prize.
Level Crossing, by Phyllis Bottome. Frederick A. Stokes Co., N.Y. 313 pages.
The millionaire's son seorns the maids of the smart set of New York and marries a laxite in Scotland. He takes his bride from her homeland of old beauty, old secrets, and old adventure of immense living.
The tale then takes a quick turn in that the bride, just a few days before the birth of her child, is kid-napped. From New York she is rushed to and hidden in the deserts of Oman. She escapes her Daring escape, her reunion with criminal offense will more than keep her husband, and the outcome of the you awake some dull evening. The bright flashes of the true nature of man, the concise but illuminating story, allows her selfish wife, the gangsters,

PAGE FIVE
Monday will mark the opening of mock court season for the Green Hall step-sitters. Rumors are afloat to the effect that the docket even includes a divorce case this year. The first case, however, is based upon an accident which actually took pla, in Kansas City, Kan., on the Fortus of July—nearly 30 years ago.
Cases such as this first one, appealed to a higher court, give the carriers of the canes the benefit of verdicts actually reached in trials conducted by practicing attorneys, Red Blackburn, erstwhile twirder of swing time rhythm baton, will be summoned as a physician in the case, and the jury box will be filled from the freshman law class.
The second case, in which the second year men will be summoned will be a trial on evidence. It is a case bearing on damages done dura- nally in a small game which unapos- sesly was played in the Yankee stadium.
One set of aspiring young attorneys will start work soon in a title claim case, and another case will bear on the injuries sustained by a law firm that won a court case down a brick wall for the defendant in Kansas City. 33 years ago.
