Freshman Women Must Vote Again
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
Because of mistakes in counting the last election, the freshman woman will elect officers for vice-president and secretary Thursday, on the second floor of the Administration building from 8 a.m. to 1 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 Grace, Catherine Ehrke, Ann Reynolds and Margaret Charles. Candidates for sec. members are Saroni Smart, Velma Wilson, and Sarion Pengy, Peggy Lynch and Isabel West.
"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."

Suzanne Sawyer, Guest Conductor
One of the Kansas "sports" 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 he couldn't remember them. They didn't. They won free bids to the Freshman Frolic. He had not the courage to face the Reporting I students yesterday.
NUMBER 44
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 old place. This suspicion was confirmed on he heard feminine voices on the second floor. Investigating, he found that he had been returned to Colby disconcerted.

The quaintly termed hot-spots <
the village were decidedly crowdset
this weekend. As nice an assort-
ment of blotts, singing Nebraskas
and what not as we have ever see
were there. Poor Dave Partridge
claims he had a difficult time get-
ing a seat.
Once again the more important papers in this area are in error. Readers of these sheets were led to the fact that they formed bore Santé 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' 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 Alpha Beta and of 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 gait with him. It was a man's woman, "a man's 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 Aher 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.

ROOM UNIMILLIA tells the cry from myriad threats, this time augmented by the voices of grads who have come many miles to see their old school go into action against the enemy.
Homecoming Day! What pictures and traditions those words call to mind. Men and women hurry about the campus to visit familiar classrooms and to renew acquaintance with favorite professors.
And the game itself, which this year is bound to be exciting. The student body is a bomb, loaded and ready to fight.
The ever-victorious team of '16, which had Ad Lindsey for its captain, will be honored guests and will add their voices to the din.
All in all, it looks like a great day for students and you all those who are coming back to visit their teachers.
Homecoming Without Dyche
Remember the good old days, Grads, when you came back to the University campus. The first thing you did was to visit Dyche Museum of Natural History. You spent hours looking at the vast parorama, in which mounted specimens of all the larger mammals of North America were displayed in their natural habitat; you studied the various exhibits. Each time, something different caught your attention—things which you had not seen before. But those days are no more!
The Museum was closed to the public Nov. 30, 1932, upon orders from the Board of Regements, after an investigation proved the floors of the building were unsafe. With the appropriation from the state legislature and a grant under the PWA, specimens, alued at a half million dollars, are placed on the Hill, and the floors of the building are covered with concrete ones, reinforced with a teal frame.
When an additional appropriation of $50,000 is made, the interior of the building will be completed and re-decorated. Then, it will be ready for re-abstraction. When this project is completed, Museum will be respond to the public one of the natural history museums west of the Mississippi river.
You and I Are Lucky
not often are the academy's technically trained graduates aware that Shakespeare has more than one spelling, or that once upon a time our country lost a battle. They are taught how to shoot, not how to think. They're trained like the old duffer who "greatly against odds," but now they "Don't." He didn't. He didn't. In the first place, he died quickly, and in the second place the ship sank with a good many of its crew.
The National Safety Council reports that the chief cause of accident death to children under five years of age, is the motor car. Drivers are urged to note this fact and then drive with greater care.
During 1935 there were 6,000 children under five years of age accidently killed. Motor vehicles were charged with 1,122, or 17 per cent, of these fatalities. Perhaps your car was not involved in any of these accidents.
It was the talk of the plebes' afternoon dancing class a few years ago when upper-classmen at the Naval academy were asked to write a term paper based upon their own findings in the library. It was preposterous, colossal, and queer—to do a thing when one had not been told how to do it—in the end naval discipline won out, and the future officers managed it somehow.
An academy graduate who finally went to Harvard for an education made these charges in a current magazine article, and in return received a broadside from the Annapolis command. The ex-middle seems not only to have got the navy's goat, but has it by the horns.
The writer quotes the late Admiral W. S. Sins, who, when he was at Annapolis as a president for men with muscular dystrophy, told
But, how long will you and I be lucky?
The Navy's Last Battle
was one of the navy's greatest, and a permanent iconcast. He refused a medal after the last war with the curt statement that most of those who deserved them didn't get them, and that most of those who did, didn't deserve them. As an impudent young officer he wrote so many letters demanding target practice (also unheard of) then to his superiors, that Teddy Roosevelt himself finally heard him. In the ensuing practice the navy fired three thousands rounds and scored three hits.
The naval officers have no doubt progressed since that time. Chances are they could actually hit the ships of an attacking fleet—but not unless some one told them to when to load. A modern Gridley, told to "Fire when ready," would probably request a more definite date.
Reading For Honors
A masterpiece of editorial writing was achieved by the New York Times the other day when it produced two stories about the Nazis side by side on the front page.
The first one, listing points in the recent Ina-Ogerman accord, allowed them "determination to defend European civilization against the grave dangers threatening its cultural structure."
Next to this grave pronouncement about grave threats was a statement by Hans Joht, president of the Reich chamber of literature, that Germans will be compelled to read National Socialist authors with "loving force." Said he. "In the future I will eliminate the lukewarm... bookellers and will not tolerate a dictatorship of the buying public. Resistance will be broken with dynamite."
The loving force of dynamite is questionable. The best effort the Nazis could make to defend Europe against the grave dangers threatening its culture would be to gravelly commit suicide.
Locked Doors Again
Last year a bit of a agitation was raised over the fact that only one of the several front doors at both the entrance to the Union building and to the Administrative Building was left unlocked for students through.
The danger of such a practice in view of possible fires and panics was pointed out, and after a little hub-bub was raised and orders were received from the fire brigade, the side doors were left unattended for a few days.
Evidently the reform was only temporary, for again, this year, the extra doors are locked and do not allow for free passage. The unaccountable thing is that why a practice demanding no funds, receiving no logical offices is worth it. This popular opinion is worth attested by authority and popular opinion, should be neglected.
that the warning was taken lightly and as an irrelevant and unnecessary precaution by those responsible is the only possible conclusion to be made. In the interest, then, of the University and its students, may all the front doors to the Union and Administration buildings be unlocked.

Today and tomorrow the University and particularly the journalism department is host to the Kansas editors in their Roundtables meeting. All members of the faculty and the student body are invited to attend the meetings. The next two days give the Kansas editors their best chance to learn about what is happening on our campus. It is our chance to show them that Kansas University is the best school in the state. The editors will take back to their communities the impressions that we are able to give them. It is up to us to see that the only impressions they receive are those which will be seen by students at Kansas University. Kansas editors are the best friends that the University has it is our charge to keep them that way.
The first indication of what the next four years are going to be like was made Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1936 at approximately 10:30 p.m., when genial Jim Farley made the statement that "the Mission of Franklin D. Roosevelt is to see that we all get a square deal." From this point on, it will be to scrap and in its place another "deal" known as the "Square Deal" is to be inaugurated. If this be true then we stauch Republicans can give three rousing cheers for the President. Why? Well, after all we did not vote against Roosevelt because we disliked him personally we voted against his New Deal and since we had no one else with a Deal was not a square deal and now that we are to get a "Square Deal" we have accomplished our purpose. It was the Republicans who in reality won the elections, not the Democrats.
