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 12, at the paws on the second floor of the building by 8 a.m., until 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 Edaine, Maurice Gray, Catherine Elhare, Ann Reynolds and Margaret Charles. Candidates for secretary are Sarien Smart, Velma Leroy and Peggy Pesgay Lynch and Israel
"In counting the votes, if no candidate for an office has enough votes to win, the fewest is thrown out, and the votes are redistributed among the remaining candidates. This process is continued until one of the candi-
"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 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 bit about how he could have won passes to the Granada They didn't. They won free bids to the Freshman Frolic. He had not the courage to face the Reporting students yesterday.
The Theta amnese — P. A. D. house—had an unexpected guest this weekend when one Don Phillips, a visiting D.U. and P.A.D. who saw 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 returned to Colby discomsolate.
The quaintly termed hot-spots of the village were decidedly crowded this weekend. As nice an assortment of blottos, singing Nebraska, 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 were borne sure Fate Railway trains, but such is not the case. Bok Richardson had the only one. "I didn't object when they made the announcement," he wrote, "that worthy declared yesterday, "but putting three conductor' 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 cabin. The boys of giving something away in the Pi Phi domicile. Note to Chei 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 girl with him. It ended with the state's governor saying 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...
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 week—the Puff Pant Prom, to be held in the Memorial Union building this Friday.

War Propaganda, Pro and Con, Dealt to Public in 'Bury the Dead'
By Kenneth Postlethwait, c'38 War propaganda, con and con, was dealt to the theater-going public in laborate doses at the premiere of "Bury the Dead" in Fraser Theater last night.
Pacificis 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 durably. It also illustrates the story to the glory of war and marriage.
Militarists squirmed longer and more uncomfortable throughout the feature production of the evening, "Bury the Dead." This uncanny story concerned itself with six men who, though dead, refused to tie

Betty Ruth Smith Elected Queen To Preside Over All Festivities
It is of no importance in what era graduates attended the University. The lads and lasses of Old North College came courted at; the daring young of Frazer Hall who squired their ladies about in horcowess carriages; and the dashing Joe Colles of today; are tied together by one strong bond . . . we are all Jayhawkers.

President May Attend Peace Conference
The decision will be made in a week since many persons, Latin Americans and United States citizens, interested in the "good neighbor" policy are urging him to attend the conference.
Hyde Park, N.Y., Nov. 5—(UP)—President Roosevelt is seriously considering a one-day visit to Buenos Aires, DC.1 for the opening of the Pan-American Peace conference which will be on important development of "Good Neighbor" policies for the Americas.
The President has already made plans to leave Nov. 1 on a fishing cruise in southern waters. If he decides to go to Buenos Aires he would merely extend the length of his cruise.
Meanwhile the President rested in excellent health after his vigorous election campaign and was ready to give full attention the next week. He also designed a program designed to achieve the objective of the new deal.
Observers felt that he would no reveal his hand on possible NRA revival or development of a new AAA measure until his message to Congress in January. It was felt that he would proceed with extreme caution in carrying out a program for abolition of child labor, minimum wages, and for shorter hours making meetings and institutional requirements. Such a program might well assume the form of individual thesis of legislation instead of a sweeping announcement such as the NRA.
Hill Invaded by Host Of Disreputable Individuals
Hobohemia, with its tattered garments flapping in the cold breezes, turned out in force today to celebrate the annual Homecoming. Doc Yak, perveyer of "Pink Pills for Fale People" was on hand to dispense his pep concoctions.
TONIGHT
Enthusiasm in the Auditorium
Three Hundred Editors Expected For Roundtables
At 9 o'clock this evening, immediately following the first shows at the theaters, the Homecoming Parade will form at South Park. The parade proceeds north to the studio of radio station WREN where a rainstorm sets in and a free Homecoming mixer will be held in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Approximately 300 Kansas editors are expected to be registered for the annual Roundtable series opening today with an interesting program of meetings and discussion panels.
At 9 o'clock the hoboes met in front of Memorial Union building and snake danced their way to a big bon fire in Fowler Grove. Here they exercised their lungs on a few yells, preparatory to the Big rally in the auditorium.
Highlights of the scheduled two-day program include a speech talk by William Allen White, a meeting sponsored by the Associated Press, and a part in the general Homecoming program.
Following is a schedule of activities:
Roundtables Add Hill to Speaker List

a was beyond control. Hoboes practically took the microphone from the cheerleaders. The theme of the hobees seemed to convey the idea that it is time we balanced our budget with Nebraska. It was only after the throats of the hilarious crew became so horsey that they could hardly yell, all the fireworks had been taken out and around the Auditorium were the cheerleaders able to get the foot ball team on the stage.
Ad Lindsey was the first to speak to the spirit filled students. "We have a young squad," said Ad, "but we're going out there tomorrow and not only try to score on them but give them a good lieking."
Members of the squat were introduced with the exception of Richardson who was in the hospital resting from an attack of appendicitis.
From the auditorium the enthusiastic crowd trooped over the hill and down to Potter's lake to witness the duck race. The ducks strained in the hands of the representatives of the various men's organization like horses in starting stalls until the word "go" came, and the amidst flapping and splashing the race was on.
Soon two of the speedier duck were to be seen taking the lead and in a short time they were within a few feet of the goal, but stones can by rival roosters frightened them on. They dared the ducks their wings and dabbed in the water. Confusion followed until soon a white duck with a red ribbon around its neck skimmed past its slower rivals and landed at the base of the Bats duck as the winners took the other birds to go.
Many complaints were heard about crookedness, but one of the most sensible was that made by the owner; "Water was overtrained."
Following the duck race the mouse race took place in front of the Administration building. The mice were released by the representatives of the women's organizations and that of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority crossed the finish line first and was caught by Maxine Woody who received a free pass to the Grada theater for her heroism. The winning sorority received a box of crackers and some cheese.
