The editor's sparrow followed Roosevelt through the eastern part of the state into Missouri yesterday and then this morning a very wet bird headed toward the University was well represented at the Reno Club and the Beetle too.

She said that she was going there to study, but since Winters was absent from the trysting day, she did not have to dress down her sorrows. Can't believe that it would have to be much of a dunking.

Thomas Flays F.D.R. and Landon In Park Speech
From the speaker's platform in South Park, Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for president, yesterday afternoon, organized a campaign speech to a large audience.
John Pierce, c38, president of the University Thomas-for-President Club, introduced Mr. Thomas to the crowd. As Mr. Thomas stood in acknowledgment, the audience rose from their seats and applauded.
After remarking that the exclusion of Presidential candidates from the University buildings during campaign time must evidently be a reflection on either the students, University, or canvassers involved in the primaries. He divided his speech into two major parts: first, critising the Republican candidate, Republican party, and Republican platform; second, criticising the Democrat candidate, the "New Deal," and the Democratic candidate as the supplement to each criterion, he offered his suggestions for improvement from the Socialist platform and policy.
Attacking Mr. Landon, Mr. Thomas pointed out that the people are never able to tell after listening to Mr. Landon whether *she* has been promised to do something Republican candidate to clarify his program so that voters could tell whether or not they were being duped. Mr. Thomas asked how Mr. Landon would be able to respond to the Street and the Townsclerds at the same time in the nine states where Mr. Lemke isn't on a balance. Mr. Thomas closed the criticism with the statement that he covers the weak spots in copitation by planting sunflowers around them."
Turning to the Democrat and Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Thomas admitted of some of the worthwhile accomplishments of Mr. Roosevelt, apparently being more favorable to them than to the Republican. He said that Mr. Roosevelt had an easy task for he had only to constrict his record of public service. This is something simple. He did criticize, however Mr. Roosevelt's unorganized relief measures, huge naval appropriations, the racial discriminations in the other pitiful labor conditions prevail there.
Mr. Thomas advocated a plane economy system similar to family cooperation. He said that production risk wealth should be on the basis of social ownership. He urged that we use our power and machinery to produce goods such as food, furniture or bers of such a social community would no longer be the subject of exploitation. This extensive cooperation program would be directed by the best-equipped minds of representatives as chosen by the people. "To avoid the catastrophe of war or financial destruction toward which the Republic capitallis and Rosevelt's "democracy" must lie, we need an intensely and extensively, our laborers, industries and resources under the Socialistic principles," he said.
After the speech, Mr. Thomas, in answering a question told his audience that if he were arrested when arriving at the courthouse, he would be mayor, chief-of-police, and the Indiana governor would be almost unprintable. He did suggest however that the names "Hoover Hitters" and "Dupont Indians" might be rather appropriate.

M. S. C. Stymied In Ballot Deadlock As Members Pout
Dilemma, Defiance and Diplomacy Feature Action of Opposing Factions in Council Meeting
Decisive deadlock, defiant dilemma and discreet democracy creep into the statety Men's Student Council room last night.
By William Zupanee and Dave Conderman
Because of a literal interpretation of a technical consideration in Robert's "Rules of Order," the M.S.C. members locked horns in the votes last night, at least minutes before either party was able to master enough strength to adjourn.
The only decision agreed upon was one of postponing consideration of major items. The fate of the mid-western state, which had been called for the meeting was called for the express purpose of setting the matter. The motion to elect the Graduate School reponses was adopted.
Many famous men in the field of science have been elected to Sigma Xi, a few of them are Ed C. Franklin, 90, one time president of the American Chemical Society; E. V. McColum, 20, discoverer of vitamins; and Herbert J. Burton, doctorate teacher and one of those who installed the transatlantic telephone system.
Profound Equanimity
The councilmen accepted committee reports at the beginning of the session with profound equanimity. They listened gravely to the report of Bob Oyley, president of the "KC" club that "KM" will march in the pajama parade but will not carry paddles, and then gave a unanimous vote of commendation. They listened to the traditions committee report without heckling; they agreed to the forum committee's plans without a second vote; and they seemed pleased to the budget committee that the carry-over surpluses will be $625 instead of $305.
Walter Huxman, Democratic candidate for Governor, will arrive in Lawrence today to be the principal speaker at a dinner which will be held at the Eldridge Hotel at 6 o'clock this evening. The speech will be broadcast over WREN.
But when legislative business was introduced, party lines proved to be too strong and the resulting vote turned out to be 12 to 11, whereupon President Obama asked the president the minority. The howls of protest that arose immediately would have brought tears of appreciation to the eyes of cheerleaders, but upon reference to Robert's "Rules of Order" they slowly discarded the deadlocked deliberative assembly.
Walter Huxman
Will Speak Tonight
Then Outrage
Those who felt that they had been outraged decided to make a night of it and promptly vowed all motions to adhere to the instructions men fumed and fretted, while the other half sucked and sat. Finally several generous individuals surrendered on the pending question of adjournment and the exasperated executives to retire.
Sigma Xi Observes Golden Anniversary Of Founding
The fifthth anniversary of the founding of the Society of Sigma Xi, national scientific fraternity, will be ob servied tonight by Iota Chapter of the University of Kansas. Prof. U. G Mitchell, chairman of the department of mathematics, and president of Sigma Xi the past two years, will deliver the lecture "Sigma Xi and the Object will be." The Study and the Teaching of the History of Mathematics."
After the dinner Mr. Huxman with speak again at an open meeting in the Jahyawk theater at 8 o'clock. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend.
The Kansas chapter was founded April 21, 1890, with six charter members: Professors E. H. S. Bailey, L. Dyche, F. H. Snow, O. M. Marvin, Ephrain Miller, and L. I. Blake, heads of the various scientific departments. Since that time more than 700 persons have been elected to membership in the chapter. The Kansas chapter has grown significantly since this end has held frequent meeting for the presentation of original papers by its members.

The strangely dressed men on the campus yesterday were not members of a Buck Rogers Twentieth Century undergarment, but of a "nervet test" as part of the initiation of the Ku Ku Club. It seems that there has been some talk about a full in school spirit, and the Ku Ku club has decided to do something about it.

The active凯Ka's equipped themselves for the fray with all manner and sort of paddles, ranging from barrel staves to piano keys and ball bats, and with a gloved hand with the advantage first on one side then on the other. For a time it was feared that the pledges were going to outlast the actives, but finally about 3 am, the pledges weakened and the assmen were assured the upper hand.

This is the thirty-fourth annual nightshirt parade held at the University. The first one was held in 1902 following a victory in the first football game of the season.

Since then, he has held to hold this celebration the night before the first Big Six game at home each year.
Freshmen Hear Dean Paul Lawson
"Why College?" Subject Of First New Student Convocation
"Why college?" asked Dean Paul B Lawson, speaker at the freshman convention and then he continued to list some of the reasons he had heard during his experience. "What does it mean for Arts and Sciences here at the University?
"Did you come because dad sent you,
or because Bill asked you to come along
with him?" Did you come to a join
a fraternity or sorority, or to play
football?" Did you come just because
you were playing football? Did you make
your pile quicker? If you did, you

Stressing the advantages of a liberal education over that of one highly specialized or technical in nature, Deam Lawson said: "A liberal education life you for many jobs, a high technical life you for many occupations, an education teaches you how to live with other people, while that side of your life is likely to be neglected if you spend your college days entirely in a laboratory. If you must be technical, neglect no opportunity to develop the other assays." He added the college few years longer if necessary.
