The rear coat broke its couplings and hurried along 200 feet on broken trucks and into the ditch.
Dr. H. L. Clark, county couronet, sait the iron or steel plates apparently damaged the cochai wheels first, then the metal brackets were a hole in the bottom of the couch.

FLASH. Sure Sign of Spring — A baby carrying was seen in front of Center ball hall. When interviewed, the overwhelmed parents like "die-dah-dah-dah-ta-h-o."

During the Owl Hoot at the Chimney House the other night, no less than two fraternities picked that time to scramble them. There was so much racket going on in the kitchen that the secundaries were never heard, consequently there was no applause.

Future War Vets To Launch Attack On Peace Strike
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1936
"Don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes," cried General Philip C. Renick last night, as he urged the Veterans of Future Wars to oppose to the last man, Wednesday's Peace Mobility meeting to be held on the campus. "We must have 'the' he continued, " and well be out of the trenches by Thursday."
Officers of the Veteran's forces support their proposed attack against the Peace meeting on the grounds that if the peace organizations were successful in their attempts to end war it would prevent the future warriors from their country and earning the houses which will have been paid them.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hugh Gordon Hadley, past commander of the Veterans, in a statement to the press had rushed said, "Pre-paid patriotism is the rage now, and here these peace strikes are all we want. We must halt to war and garnishe our bonus." If it ever rains duck soup I'm always there with a fork, so if we don't fight I don't get paid, and if we do fight I'll gill splayed over some enemy. "We've got to hath to gather me up with a huckleberry I'm raiding for blood (and money)."
The Veterans are opening their counter-attack against the peace mobilizers tonight with a meeting in the Union Building lounge at 8 o'clock. A special leaseWire from the counting rooms of the Men's Student Council elections was handed out to the Veterans for last minute reports of the voting Veterans' speakers will address the crowd on the aims, purposes and history of the organization.
Dove Will Appear?
The Dove, it is rumored, will soar onto the campus this morning, but its color is a bright vermillion that fades easily, the recent rain may drive the poor bird under cover until some brighter day.
Unorganized Men Receive P.S.G.L. Appeal
"In view of the fact that the League relies for its support on the vote of the non-fraternity man, instead of a highly organized vote soliciting machine, it is necessary to make it a point to see that their vote is cast. Regardless of the amount of energy, contact, and campaign expended by the League and its candidates, the continued success of the program depends upon your vote today."
"Aide from the personal contact with the candidates, the only basis for your vote lies in an examination and common sense. We have the respective platforms of the parties, I feel that the League has presented a workable and worthy program affecting the welfare of each and every student, and therefore I say if you are in favor of a representative, progressive and worthwhile student government, we invite you to favor the Progressive Student Government League with your vote."
-Menelaus "Duke" Litras.
P.S.G.L.'s Thorpe
With six "whereas," and a "resolved," the Peace Mobilization committee has formally outlined its purpose. The president will be held tomorrow at 10:30 in front of Fowler shops. The movement is in conjunction with the nation-wide peace strike which is expected to bring out millions of -million students in the United States.
"The Progressive Student Government League has taken a point-blank stand on a startlingly bold program. I believe it is one of the most aggressive, constructive action."
"Symphpathy for a program is effective only when translated into voice. Hence, we ask you to vote today, make your contribution and merit of our program for student government. I am confident that if a record vote is cast, it will result in a
Strike for Peace To Be Serious Rather Than Lackadaisical as Last Year
Bob Thorpe.
Regarding the debt-wealth holders, he said that they should not be paid for their wealth when it is idle any longer. If it is paid is paid for its time when it is idled.
"Most of capitalism's troubles come from three groups," said Mr. Wyer this morning. "These are the profiteer, who is not insisted with a fair profit, but insists on expensive profits; the idle-wealth holders who hold wealth out of production and thus force up prices; and the speculative-wealth holders, who manipulate the markets; and thereby disrupt prices by undoing any services to the public."
Samuel S. Wyer Analyzes Capitalism
"The great strength of capitalism has been in creating wealth its outstanding object has been its failure to bring it forward," Weyer, consultant engineer of Columbus, Olio, told senior engineers at the university of engineering and Architecture yearender."
K.A.C.E. to Hold Meeting
Mr. Wyer was chief of the mutra, gas conservation of the United States government during the World war, and later took up as an avocation the study of economic problems as viewed by the engineer.
The fundamental resolution of the University committee contains the following: "We wish to keep the United States out of any war under all circumstances, so as to prevent potential fighters, should make a definite protest, and only through mass organization can such protest be effective in deterring those in power from taking steps which may involve us in an attack on them. We are of that resistance to war which we intend to make when the crisis comes." The history of the peace strike goes back to 1917, but the small strike at the beginning of World War II grew war spirit. In 1932 three national youth congresses for peace resulted in the strike of that year, which included some 25,000 participants. In 1935, 175,000 turned out. The movement extended internationally by the Brussels and Lille student congresses.
A meeting of the K.A.C.E. will be held in room 101 of the Chemistry buildings tomorrow evening at 8:30. A short company visit at the chemical company will be shown. A short business meeting of the organization of chemical engineers are invited to attend.

"This weakness can be corrected by intelligent planning without destroying capitalism's advantages," he said.
The national strike executive committee represents several student religious and political organizations. Locally the mobilization is supported by the Westminster Forum, the Wesleyan Church, the Newman Club, the Baptist Young People's Union, the young people of the Christian and Trinity Lutheran churches, the Peace Action committee, the Peace Mobilization committee, the Peace Coalition, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Liberal Club, the Dove, the Counsellor Club, the Y.M.C.A., the Freshman Y Council, the Y.W.C.A., PSGL WSGA, and the Men's Student Council.
The first student strike was met diversely. The president of Vassar supported it. At C.C.N.Y. a small demonstration a charging dame who swore before bella and expelled 21 students. The B.O.T.C. at Johns Hopkins threw ancient vegetables. The Red squid invaded the Pacific Ocean at Los Angeles Junior College. At Minnesota the administration tried to convince the strikers that Newton D. Baker would make a fine speaker from mass, from the deans down to the floor.

High Order Campaign,
Says Pachacamac Leader
"Pachacuchac feels that it has carried on a campaign of the highest order. We think that our examination of our own platform and of the opposition's platform have been searching and to the point. Our criticism of the incumbent council administration has gooed unanswered. At no time during the campaign have we indulged in personalities, nor have we stooped down to the level of public opinion to this be one of the clearest campaigns ever conducted on the Hill.
"From all indications the election will be fairly close. That fact makes it imperative that the halloting be orderly and free from disturbances. I cannot emphasize too strongly the necessity for a stable electorate." "The common fears of fraud and insurrection!"

"Platform responsibility has been the keynote of Pachacamea's program this year. We believe that before asking students to vote for our measures, we should be certain that they were within the scope of student government and that we could actually and fully put them into effect. To this end, we eliminated ideas that were merely votes on legislation or practical. We can guarantee definite action and results; on each provision We are appealing to intelligence instead of emotion. The election today will test whether such a platform can be so successful."

Besides the regular class officers and members of the Men's Student Council, students will be asked to vote on two amendments; whether the presidents of the freshman and sophomore classes, who are now non-voting representatives, shall have a vote on the MSC; and whether a student court should be enacted as the sole court under the MSC, constitution. The court was set up a short time ago by a bill but accusations that such action was unconstitutional brought about the amendment will be decided by the election vote.

candidates must present their identification cards. The proportional representation system of voting, which was used for the first time in the College and the School of Engineering last year, will be in effect now, according to evidence today in the same schools.
In this system of voting the voter marks the figure 1 opposite the name of his first choice, the figure 2 opposite his third choice, and so on.
Under this system the voter, by expressing choices, not only votes for his candidate but also chooses the candidates whom he favors next by ranking them in his order of preference. Thus be performs the functions of both a primary ballot and a general ballot in the election.
According to a statement made by Paul Willet, chairman of the election board, the names of the candidates for College representative will be rotated 12 times, while the names of the Engineering candidates will be rotated six times. By this method every candidate's name is used on the ballot once out of every 12 ballots.
In the election last year, 1,800 men cast their ballots. There are approximately 2,900 men students in the University this year.
Court Amendment Approved by Council
The Men's Student Council in a special meeting Sunday morning passed on the proposed amendment which required the national sanction to the student court.
The action was taken by the two-thirds vote of the council required by the M.S.C. constitution. The action of the council is an answer to the recent petition of the court of Pachacamac that the bill establishing the court was unconstitutional.
