Bob Thorpe, c37, was the P.S.G.L. nominee, and John Phillips c37 was nominated by the Pachacamac society. Lyman Field president of the M.S.C. road, read the other two parties for the non-principal offices.

A Freshman Memorizes Names ... Ribs Before Love ... A fool's Day ... The Dead Live On ... The Girl Loses But Hasn't Paid ... Opera Conscious
The blonde coke menace, who will tell a good story to anyone for the price of a coke, spilled this one after slipping a tail. A Sigma Chi freshman, having some connection with the office of the dayhawker magazine, took the liberty to get as many pictures from his neighbors, taking them home, he decided to range them with Kappa's, Pi Phi's, and even members of the Quack Club.
The pictures made interesting adornments to the room, until the chapter president happened in on one of his visits. "The girls learn a lot," he promptly made the boy learn all the names of the girls in the pictures as punishment. So girls, if someone was a girl, would be away as though in severe gastric pain, it will probably be that freakman.
"The Price of Love" could be the title of a book that Dorothy Kennedy, a Chi Omega, might write. About a month ago she went home and was welcomed by her boy friend. When she came back, she walked as though she had been adagio dancing and had been drooling and had told the sisters she had been injured in a fall. The truth comes from the dog that lives at the editor's house. It seems her date had squeezed her so hard it broke her ribs.

Pi jit dashed in from Tennessee street. He told me that a boy in an organized house down in that sector got the bright idea of getting a doctor's certificate to help him get out of the terrific tasks set for up freshman life. Well, until she well until the discovery was made that the doctor who had signed the hapless lad's non-work permit had been dead for three years.

Opera 'Carmen'
Pleases Audience
Of Music Lovers
"Carmen," the first grand opera to be presented at the University in many years, met the hearty approval of a large audience which filled the Udi-剧院. The limelight had night. The opera was staged by the Chicago Civic Opera company.
Miss Coe Glade, in the title role, captivated the entire house with her unusual, sensuous voice and her charming manner. Her singing was thoroughly in character with the part portrayed a fickle, wild girly sex.
In the cast supporting her wore: Syney Rayner, who sang the role of Don Jose, Carmens soldier lover; Jover, Camilla, the torcedor; Makenze, the maiden; and Don Jose's betrothed, Norman Gordon in the part of Zuniga, a captain of the Dragons; and a large cigarette girl, smuggles and soldiers.
The dancing ensembles by the Harrier Lundgren Ballet of the company were unusually lively and gay and took to the atmosphere of the production.
The opera was an extra attraction on this year's concert course and was easily the high point of the past season. The company came to Lawrence from Lincoln, Neb, where it played to an unusually large audience.
The company also brought its own orchestra under the direction of Isaac Van Grove.

tory assault with heavy artillery and machine guns.

P.S.G.L. Presents Platform For Men's Student Election
1. The Progressive Student Government League advocates an intelligent system of "Civil Service" examinations to apply to certain student positions which require technical knowledge and skill. These positions would fall into two classes: (A) Executive positions, such as the Student Directory Manager, the Student Training Officer, etc. (B) Clerical and stenographer in the various offices on the campus, CSIP job being excepted.
Recommend 'Civil Service' System; Withdrawal From N.S.F.A.; Big Six Entertainment Organization; Labor Relations Board; Peace Movement; and Rooming House Commission
3. We advocate the establishment by the Men's Student Council of a Student Labor Relations Board of officers to be in working students. The board, as an adjunct to the part-time Employment Bureau, would standardize labor conditions and workmanship. No organization. No employer should be allowed to pay less than the accepted wage for the work he requires, nor permitted to demand an excessive rate. No employer who works for his board and troop
2 The Progressive Student Government Lecisons recommends immediate withdrawal from the NSFA and the establishment of a more valuable and valuable association for college and universities of the Mid-West.
The Men's Student Council should actively co-operate with other schools in urging the continuation of CSER. It is possible that this aid and training, forcing the larger part of some 400 students to drop out of school.
4. P.S.GL. believes that the Men's Student Council should endure and actively support such organizations as the Veterans of Future Wars, the War on Terrorism, the Association, the Kansas Peace Action Committee, and all such organizations which have a common cause in opposing war. The movement against war demands the immediate and supportive support of all college students.
5. To ameliorate the increasing trouble between landlaws and students, P.S.G.L. proposes that a commission be set up by the McGill Student Council to standardize and redefine requirements for approved house froction. The proposed house friction is usually caused by a misunderstanding of the parties concerned over contract details and agreements about furnishing electricity, bath water, etc. The Commission could investigate conditions that constitute disputes, thereby rendering a great service to many students.

JULIA JENCKS,
---
Bob Thorpe yesterday morning introduced the platform upon which he and other members of P.S.G.L. are running in the coming election. Thorpe is the P.S.G.L. candidate for president of the Men's Student Council.
Woud Withdraw From N.S.F.A.
The first plank of the platform advocates the setting up of a "civil service" system to select students for certain jobs on the campus. According to the University, aid students who need work in getting jobs for which they are fitted.
P. S.GL's recommend in their third plank the setup of a student labor relations board. It would be the purpose of the board to set up wage and hour regulations for students who work part time. In this plank the party also organizes a cooperation with other schools in order to get a continuation of CSEP.
Vond Withalhery From N.S.F.A.
In addition, we have students withdrawn from the N.S.F.A. They believe that the $100 spent by the councils during the past six years on N.S.F.A. activities has not resulted in university campus. They further advocate the joining of a Big Six organization hiring dance bands, speakers and other outside attractions and also exchange programs of student government and campus life.
Endorses Peace Effort
The P.S.G.L. endures efforts to obtain peace in their fourth plank. They believe that the Men's Student Council and the general student body should support the Veterans of Future Wars, the annual Peace Mobilization, the Peace Action committee and other groups in an effort to outlaw war.
In its fifth and final plank the party recommends the creation of a rooming house commission. The commission would standardize rooming conditions and also would handle disagreements between students and landlaws.
With the planks of both the Pachacamac and S.P.G.L. parties out now and the nominations made for the major council positions the political campaign is well underway. The election will be April 21.
Future Veterans Get Verbal Spanking
Washington, April 1—(UP) —The college boys who are seeking to ridicule the bonus issue by starting a lobby for the Republican Party, could not get a verbal spanking in Congress today.
Rep. Claude A. Fuller, Democrat (Ark.), took the satirical movement seriously enough to make a speechnaming it as "communiticide and a boring from against our form of government and national welfare."
Fuller complained bitterly about what he termed the college boys "slandering anna" and "annas". He considered even worse the auxiliary for future Gold Star Mothers, who are already demanding trips to Europe. The graves of their future sons will be.
"Can you imagine school girls talking about having baby sons?" she asked. "In my opinion, they had better devote their time to considering cosmetics."
Musicians To Present Weekly Fine Arts Recital
The weekly School of Fine Arts student recital will be presented in Central Administration auditorium at 2:30 this afternoon.
The program will be as follows: violin and piano; “Sonato-First Movement” (Grieg, Benjamin and Ehbeli), string quartet; “Trombone threnew”, Robert Riep; piano. “Rondo in A Minor” (Mozart), Lala Le Van; voice “Spring Song of the Robot Woman” (from ‘Shannawi’ by Cadman), Mary Beecham; violin, cello and drum (Patio) (Repper), Jean Eckingerberg; violin “Spanish Symphony — First Movement” (Lalo), Robert Sedore; violin, cello and drummond (Leatchettyk) and “Polarise in A Major” (Chipin), Georgia Sue Ruter.
