Answer This One, Gene . . . A Girl Disappointed . . . Wanted, Some Oil . . . Step Right Up, Head Examined for a Nickel . . . Caught, One Professor . . . That's Doggy
(By Chuck Alexander)
Another week-end is here and dutch dating has arrived. We are all wowed by it last week. It seems as though the job is well done for us, men should object to saving money.
Received a letter not long ago, so here 'tis . . .
Dear Shinner.
It seems you can't get the real scandal about the Hill and I think it only fair that you should be enlightened about how a major government act that Gene Lloyd arranges at our mid-weeks are all right but I think these acts should be confined to amusements. Surely you have to have fun, but performance not net age ago was considered the best on that program. I'm wondering if Lloyd will have the nerve to have this winner in the Grange Hall? How can he keep this in mind, Snoop, and if anything else turns up I'll come a-running.
What about this, Gene, does Am brose know what he is talking about?
Can you imagine a girl about the campus whose birthday was this week and is disappointed because she didn't get all of the things she wanted, but instead what she expected and didn't get, we found they were intelligence, beauty, personality, gardenish, and a car. It seems that all her friends got pregnant was a birthday party and a cake.
Won't some kind and generous son present the Alpha Delta Pts with some oil for those squeaky hinges on that side door. The poor dears mustn't get caught sneaking in after hours, you know.
We also hear that the Hollywood Hangout is a ritzy joint with a bar 'neverything.
Carnival day is here with everything from balloons to pink lemonade. It is rumored that a psychic ward attends carnivals and gives tips on your mind and just what possibilities one has of losing his mind this week or next. It's one of those "advice for" books.
It's astonishing the way some professors can disappear when they don't need to be seen. One enterprising notable of our campus was seen in a well-known night club in Kansas City last week-end, but the moment he sighs some home folk he meted into the background like a student caught crab
It's terrible the way the plagues are spreading about the camps. It seems that the Phi Gami's are having some trouble with scarlet fever and the cholera, but they don't least they could explain why the several cases of dog food were ordered when delivered. Maybe they didn't order them, and in that case well blame the Phi Psi just on general principles. But that the Theta's are going to the dogs.
We have many kinds of records, but we think the yellow convertible at the Delta Chi house has one worth mentioning. It left the Gamma Phi house a few nights ago, drove to a country lane and crossed the road into a packed "packed" in this column) got back to the union fountain twenty-three minutes later. A fast car?

Meat Maulers at Carnival
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1936
K Club Assembles Collection of Bone Crushers for Side Show
It is rumored that the K Club has assembled the finest collection of bone cruchers, meat-muusers and what have you in the Middle West for their side show at the W.S.G.A. carnival. They have spared no effort in rounding up a formidable array of grunters, preachers, sledders and tenders, who dare claim that they aren't the toughest of the "toughies" in this district.
The K Club cordially extends an invitation to all students, who would like to start a career that would quickly lead them to fame and fortune or a broken neck, to visit their exhibit of the 1960s art collection they have been eating nothing but raw meat for days and are said to be in the pink of condition and likely to fly off the handle at the slight provocation. It will be interesting to see the results of these studies and to study the effects they may have on the brave heroes of the campus.

Miss. Charla Wilson, formerly a student in the design department, will speak today at 11 o'clock in the auditorium of the Administration building. Her speech on "Light As It Affects Color" will be of particular value to all students of architecture and home decoration.

Work of Government Explained to Students
No Security Enjoyed by Farmers of Today, Says Smith
William E. Sweet, former governor of Colorado, and at present special assistant to the administrator of the Rewetting Administration, and Garland F. Smith, representing the information division of the administration, addressed the American Government classes yesterday morning in an effort to equip the farmer who is in need of help, told the classes that the farmer is generally trying to grow crops on a small piece of land and is unable to meet the costs of production. The program of the Rewetting Administration is four-fold in purpose, he further asserted. The first aim is to demonstrate to farmers how their business has better advantage, insuring against the possibility of dust storms and floods by re-sodding.
Ex-Governor Sweet was introduced by Professor Clark. In a clear, enlightened speech, he claring. "I question the intellectual capacity of men who want the status quo who insist that our great country will be shrink from doing anything about it."
Will Convert Unused Land
Secondly, the administration plans to convert much of the land in national residential purposes.
The third point of the plan, according to Mr. Smith, includes the reforestation of a large amount of waste land. The last part of the program is intended to preserve the Indians, by setting up reservations.
He explained that economic planning is the watchword of the present administration and concluded with the statement that economic planning and social control are essential to the existence of our nation.
Attacks Power of Court
In the 11:30 session, Mr. Sweet at tacked the power exercised by the police in unconstitutional acts of congress unconstitutional.
"It is inconceivable," he said, "this nation should continue to tolerate a condition under which a law passes by congress, signed by the President and to the best interests of the people should be declared illegal by the supreme court and its enforcement prevented. The time will undoubtedly come when any law that is economically违法的 will also be regarded as legally sound."
He pointed out the quick recovery of Great Britain as an example of what can be done by a government unharmed and compliant in the articulation of its laws by the supreme court.
KANSAS PEACE PUBLICATION MAKES FIRST APPEARANC

M.S.C. May Change Plan of Election After Conference
Revised Constitution Is Accepted by Council; Peace Mobilization Is Approved
Acting upon a written suggestion by Menelaus Litras, president of the Progressive Student Government League, Lyman Field, president of the Men's Student Council, Wednesday night appointed a committee to confer with the commissioners of the change department, on the feasibility of changing the entire system of representation on the council so as to conform to advanced theories of representative government. Members of the committee appointed by field are Lo-
The council accepted the newly revised constitution which was prepared and submitted by Philip Raup. Major changes are as follows (1) The year change is from 2013 to be added to the council. (2) Elections are to include proportional representation. (3) Jayhawker bill revoked to include proposed new legislation women on the advisory board, and limitations on the manager's salary. (4) Council members to buy their own books.
Cheer Leaders Search.
(3) Clever leadership by a pop committee of seven members chosen from various Hill organizations, of which the president of the M.S.C. is to act as chairman. Freshmen are to have juniors two and one senior junior two, and one senior cheerleader who is to be head cheerleader. Any vacancies occurring are to be filled by both the W.S.G.A. and M.S.C. in joint positions. The committee is to act in an advisory capacity.
(7) The amendment to the parking rule in the constitution now reads that with the first offense shall come a warning, but with the second it is cost to cost the offender one dollar. In addition to this rule, the constitution was amended to read that the Student Supreme Court shall from now on hang the offender on his or her wrists if the final word in extreme cases instead of the M.S.C. All cases of speeding are also to be passed to the Student Court. This is applicable only to men violators. The constitution are to be printed in booklet form.
To Sponsor Peace Mobilization
The council will will support a "Peace Mobilization," but not a peace strike. The purpose is for the whole student body to mobilize for the protestation of war on the same day as the invasion of Iraq, out the country. The basic aim is to cooperate in nation-wide action and not to educate individual colleges against war. Logan Lane was appointed council president on the Peace Action Committee.
The proceeds of the Intramural Carnival, to be sponsored by the M.S.C., are to go to an intramural fund which is being established. E. R. Elbel, of the department of physical education, is in charge of the fund and plans to graduate when it where eventually support all intramural program at the University.
To Have Convocations
The bill for an acceptance convention, designed as a means of presenting candidates and party issues to the student body, was unanimously passed. The convention is to be held in March, and the convention will be later by the Congregation committee.
The bill submitted by freshmen and sophomores asking for representation and voting power in the council would involve a constitutional change if passed. As the constitution now stands, a man must have been in the University three semesters before he is eligible for elective college courses. He was appointed to coerce with Professor Maddox, of the political science department, in regard to this bill.
The revised Student Supreme Court bill was given the third reading and was passed on March 27. It provides for a court composed of four associate justice and one supreme judge.
Each party which obtained more than 300 votes in the previous election will be entitled to submit as many candidates as it wishes, from which list the candidate will receive a prize from each party. President Field will select all four justices for the remainder of this school year, and hereafter council presidents will select two each year, so the terms will be overlapping. Candidates must bear the party vote. A candidate must also prevent members of one party from nominating a weak man from the other.
