The dance will be sponsored by the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. and will be financed by a $150 appropriation from the reserve fund of the activity fee. The recreation room as well as the classroom will be open to students who plan to attend.
Following the custom of such con controversy in all legislative bodies is which the majority is not represented in the chair, the P.S.GL has formed a "steering committee" with Phil Rush and the office leader representation as the floor leader.

No Piper To Pay
At Free Varsity
- The meeting Wednesday night was a * scene of many tense moments with both sides guarding every move. The P.S.G.L. members did not enter the council room until all their members were present in order that there might not be a quorum until their majority was at hand to control the vote.

books of parliamentary law and copies of the M.S.C. constitution, and used them frequently in attempts to get the upper hand.
NUMBER 161
If all members of the present council succeed in holding their eligibility next fall, the power in the council for the year 1936-37 will be decided at the election of the president of the freshman class in November.
Frosh Election Holds Fate
At that time the amendment passed in the M.S.C. election this spring giving votes to the presidents of the freshman and sophomore classes will go into effect, and two voting members will be added to the council. One of these members will be held by Phoebe president of the sophomore class was elected this spring.
This will mean that as the freshman election goes, so goes the power and control in the council. Two more Pachamaacus would make a tie with the PSGL. and would give the decision to Phillip on all matters of party policy.
Wll Have Balance of Power
The P.S.G.L. members have so far held their ground on every matter involving party sentiment which has been up in the air, they may well look forward to a battle to hold their control in the November election, for never in recent years has Pacchaman gone to elect their canary, the presidency of the freshman class.
Movie Scout Appraises Talent Of Hill Males
Hollywood Has Players
Apently But Is in Need
of Stars; Many Actors
Are at Try-Out
Hollywood came to the campus yet today in the person of Miss Loehl Ryman, diminutive talent suave for the Universal Studios. A fit subject for the film is her lookalike brother, who islooking over the Hill to see if it possesses any prospective male stars.
"What we want," she said, "is not any initiative type but just good clean, wholesome, healthy, intelligent work that was engaged in the interview under the guise of an aspiring film star, conducted the rest of the interview from underneath."
'We Want Stars'
"Why am I looking for men and not women?" she repeated, "Well, I'll tell you. There are thousands of girls on the streets of Los Angeles, good-looking girls, just itching for a chance to get in the movies, and they be good ones too, but we don't need them. Men somehow, don't come to Hollywood because of characters or extraz; what we need is more stars."
The Universal Studios hold out a wonderful proposition to the up and coming actor that Miss Ryan selects, who will be given the title he also sign a contract for seven years for $100 a week for the first six months. Every six months after he gets an additional $50 a week at the end of the year (in his film's figures), he is earning $750 a week.
Miss Rynn plans to visit the University campus each year. "We are trying," she explained, "to make college students more aware and to encourage them to study dramatics at college. We hope, through our annual visits, to help build up the drama departments of the various college colleges by the caliber of the graduates they turn out."
Finds Prospects
"After all, five years is the average life of the average actor on the screen. After that is finished you can back it your trade or profession and have a job." Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan knows that the moving picture industries pay their workers excellent wages.
In the past two weeks Miss Rymah has found two middle western men when the considers good prospects as movie stars. One of them, who has decided to take up her proposition (imagine anyone else in college) at University at Dallas, Texas, the other boy has not yet sent in his contract.
Miss Ryan came to the University from Washburn and Oklahoma University. She goes next to the University of Iowa.
Students Present
Present at the try-outs yesterday in the Little Theater in Green hall and full of happy expectations were: Sam Ericson, c36 (KFKI radio announcer and wrestler of note); Charles Pipkin, star of "Ticket of Leave Man"; Chi, star of "Ticket of Leave Man"); Walter Blech, c36 (who has been in every play but one this year and entertains dramatic hopes); Bob Cunningham, c36 (who graduated at mid-semithe and dropped his insurance selling in Kansas); Bob Donison, c37 (another invectate actor who has been on one off the stage a great deal this season) Norbert Anachustek, c37 (dashing soldier in "Olympa" and the R.O.T.C.) Bill Kandel, c37 (radio anouncer, drum major and Obi's super salesman) and Robert Hammond, base and a performer in all but one of this year's dramatic productions.
Two women appeared at the tryout with hopes high for a Hollywood castmate, including Catherine Donald, c37 (who won one of the three screen tests given in a movie contest at Topkea last spring). A Kansas run was cut short by an injury he politely that she needed no butters
Miss Ryman will be in town this morning and will see some more applicants. She can be found at the speech office in Green hall.

Soul Owl Now Enchanting, Pure And Profitable
The cover of the Sour Owl was pure, 99 and 41-100 percent; in fact, many pages were even purer, but consternation gripped the editor, Joe Pryor, when he saw on page 9 a cut of an automobile, a moon with a horrified expression and a vacant road. Small as this cut was, it beimishered the character of the magazine to such an extent that Editor Pryor decided to censure it himself, and his staff spent the night rectifying the error.
And it was an error. The cut in question was sent to the printers by mistake. They were wrong and half and several editors had shied away from it. But next year's editor, Dave Hamlin, quite uniquely gathered it up with other copy and sent it off to a bank.
"I didn't know I done it," said Kamil when questioned last night.

Pilot Holds Girl In Plane by Hair; Prevents Suicide
Boston, May 21—(UP) An unidentified young girl was prevented from leaping to death from an open cockpit aircraft at an East Boston airport late when pilot Charles Sutherland struck her on the jaw with his fist and held her in the plane until he landed. The girl between 19 and 20 years of age and a familiar friend were wounded in the plane. She was carried behind Sutherland.
As the plane cruised over Boston harbor three miles off the airport at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Sutherland said he knew that he and saw the girl climbing over the aisle.
He sent the plane into a spin, thus forcing the girl back into the cockpit, and leveled off at 3,000 feet. At this point Sutherland said that she rose to her feet and this time he grabbed her by the hair and struck her with his flat.
With the girl putting up a terrific fight, the pilot managed to hold with her one hand and guide his plane to a dead landing at the airport with the other. The girl refused to identify herself and was being held by police.
