POLITICS CAUSE BREAK IN OWL SOCIETY
By BUD EVANS, '36
Forman-Fisher Affair .. Pick Out Another One, Ruth .. Susie Sturgeon .. Tain't Fair .. Haggard's Handy Headress .. Betia Need Nourishment (not news!).
Fern Ferman (another Chi Omega) who recently threw over a certain A T O, doesn't seem to hide the fact that her affections are now directed at Dave Fisher (one of the Sig Ep boys) as anyone watching a particular booth at one of the local hang-ups last Friday night could tell.

We think Rink Bordner, a harris-terto-be, who so persistently plonies Jack Losttuffer (allas, Last-agatas—the Emperor drone) should know that it's really Eureka school teacher who has the strong to his big great (2) heart.
Understand that Ernie Sturgeon, Sigma Chi heart-breaker, passed out the cigars the other night. Seems Virgil put his pin on out of the famous Sara Fleming-sure, you remember Sicie Ernie did it this way so he could maintain his repose in Kaisa Konica, Kaisa Konica, and still not have to buy any flowers and candy! What's worrying us is-who bought the cigars?

Looks as if the adage "What's sake for the glove is sauce for the gamer" is slightly screwy. Seems that Jim Pollockhanger, erstwhile journalist student, was contentedly ruinning a far older schoolmate in his college walk in trust Prof. Santon. Needless to say that alfredo Polski was severely "ostirated." A moment later, another professor appeared. He too was to inadipint to be a fit of mistreatment, and unsuccessfully "what's sauce for the faculty just isn't" for the students.
One girl of Walking ball must have been drifting a few days ago when she answered the basement phone with "cellar." Nighty queer things come to one's mind when that word is mentioned. Some of the female class might crine, with snakes in mind, but the "Snops" stoke theatre of the cellar with its rare spirits that flare toward the cellar as being the place where Thethe's hide Betty Eden when rush week starts.
Was just missing over the possibilities of Paul Magherg's taking off that for head-dress now that spring-like weather is on its way. Prospects of its becoming a comedy are in good, Paul, and maybe they'd help you advertise your chewing-gum. You know a little added attraction would give you an edge over your Nobile competition. Anything for a cup of tea or a snack will give you that game, we'll forgive you!
The cat that found the rat in Editorial I, the second we had on Hugh Hadley, has been identified—much to our comfort—we thought it wont on relief. Its name is Butch III-Butch The first being the follower that Jake and I have on the肩膀 is a first assistant Like the cat, Butch the Second is always under foot!
Well just have to tell this one on Betsy Hogue (Phi Pi) she's been long enough to really know better). Seems that during the swimming meet the other evening, the identified one strayged through the men's door, the other one taking tumors) trying to get to the pool. Did you close your eyes light, Betty?
Save Bob Cartis, third-floor man owe at the Beta house, come out of a class room the other day, pull a big red apple out of his pocket, and proceed to eat some (spitting but the worms, of course). Well-groomed, well-dressed, abundant, and besides, the fellas just don't get enough to eat at the Beta lodge!

People Controlling Production Rule, Says Dr. Strong
Achievement and Mistake of Russian Democracy Cited by Forum Speaker
"Real political power resides with the people who control the means of production," said Anna Louise Strong, addressing the sixth student forum in Fraser Theater last night. "Dictatorship; she continues that what that dictator of government."
From these two promises, she explained how dictatorship in Russia is actually a military system that benefits the people through their joint ownership of the means of production, than the democracy of the United States, which is controlled by a capitalist system.
"Ownership dictates to government," she said, and "under a system of public ownership, the people are in reality their own dictators with the government only carrying out and organizing their plans and ideas."
Dr. Strong traced the development of the Russian social movement from the revolution and explained that those who were willing to work, even though at all times a majority of people did not favor their methods, they were able to carry through their plans and now have the support of 90 per cent of the population.
When officers are elected in the Soviet Union, each group of people turns in a set of recommendations of needed improvements, Mrs. Strong explained. The first work of new officers is to consider these, letting economists and scientists work out the more complicated ideas; then giving to the people what they want, at least factible material and machinery will allow. But the people themselves do the actual work. The government only organizes.
"We do things in Russia," said Dr Strong, contrasting the "we" attitude of that country and the "I" and "They" attitude of America. "Farmers who have never ridden in an airplane speak of 'our' stratosphere record, showing the deep sense of public ownership that has been developed. In America people know why we are depressed by the depression, thereby unconscionably admittit a class distinction."
Democracy is not complete in Russia according to Dr. Strong, but this is a result of the early conditions within the country, when the great mass of peasants were too ignorant to understand the modern trends. During the revolutionary period and following this period it was necessary that all people be in control, but now, since practically all people are literate, economists are framing a new constitution that will grant more equality to all classes.

Six Class Managers Chosen
Sophomore and Junior Members Selected for Student Relays Body
Maternity Ward, Zoo Hospital, Washington, D.C. (-UP) - Eanie, Meenie, Minle, and Mo, perhaps the rarest quadruple ever born in America, rested comfortably tonight with their mother, Mrs. Ramona Bear.
The romance of Mr. and Mrs. Bear was more than unusual. It was unique. Mrs. Ramona Bear is a dark brown stylish-Koduk lady with a will of her own in everything except the consumption of peanuts. Her husband, on the other hand, is of those long green hairs with hair turned purple naturally white.
The four little bears resulting from this union resembled well-teddy bears. Insofar as Dr. Mann has been able to observe, they are of a solid, sandy yellow color. The doctor hasn't been able to observe much because ev
M. Bear was so jealous she wouldn't even let Dr. William M. Mann, zoo director and head nurse, approach close enough to see how much the children weighed. So Kelly Bear, the father of Sally Bear, looked on at school and proudly twisted his whinners.
William Townley, c37, of Great Bend, and Marie Stantiey, c37, of Saina, have been appointed junior members of the Kansas Relays committee. Four men, Russell Benton, c38, and Grant Coward, c38, both of Kansas City, George Garrison, c38, of Salina, and James Gillippe, p. of Reserve, were chosen to act as sophomore members of the committee. Of these men served on their last year. The director was made by Ed Elbel, professor of physical education and sponsor of the Kansas Relays committee.

Ebel urged that more freshmen turn in their applications in response to the notice made by Joe Plyne, senior manager of the committee.
The deadline for these applications is definitely set at 2.30, Monday, March 2
State Debate Tourney To Begin Here Friday Socialized Medicine Will Be Discussed by High School Teams
Twenty-three cities of Kansas will be represented by two debate teams each, at the finals of the Kansas High School Debating League, to be held at the University, Friday afternoon and Saturday, Feb. 28 and 28. The subject of socialized medicine will be debated. The last of the district tournaments was held last Saturday. As a result, the following are the entries in the tournament: A, Toplea; Class B, Valley Falls. Second district, A, Waynate; B, DeSoto. Third district, A, Coffeyville; B, no entries at the State Outter, B, St Joseph Academy, of Olive.
for the tournament, odd-numbered districts are put in one group and even-numbered in another, and there will be three rounds of debate in each group of each team, which will be completed around Friday evening, the votes of the judges will be insculsed, and the ranking of the various teams determined. The first and second ranking schools of each group will enter the semi-finals in an elimination debate Saturday with the finals Saturday afternoon.
ACCORDION AND VOICE SOLOS TO HEAD AMATEUR PROGRAM
Ninth district, A. Ellsworth; B. Canton, Tenth district, A. Hutchinson; Little River, Eleventh district, A. Brodie, Twelfth district, A. Pratt; B. Garfield

Roger Anderson and his orchestra will play for the dance
Mrs. Bear has been in the maternity ward six weeks, with Dr. Mann hovering hopefully about most of the time in case Mrs. Bear needed medical attention. He didn't know her youngest doctor. Dr. McMoory
"She has been through quite an ordend," Dr. Mann explained. "She is extremely nervous, and why shouldn't she be?
arrived last night. The first Dr. Mann knew about it was when he heard squeals inside the hospital.
"If their children live they will out- class in rarity the Dione quintuplets They will be among the rarest animals ever born in a zoo."
Dr. Mann, who is a romanticist at heart, said he was anamed when Mr.Scottie Bear began giving some of his peanuts to Miss Ramona last year instead of eating them all himself. As the doctor watched the romance blossom, his amusement grew. Kodai's polar bear was anemone-shaped terminally, like East and West, red heads and peanuts, poets and peasants.
Then friendship turned to love and Dr. Mann's joy was unconfined. And now that Eenie, Meenie, Minie, and Mire are here, Mrs. Bear was happy too.
Rear Admiral Byrd To Tell of Second Polar Expedition
Explorer Will Illustrate Lecture with Movies Made in Land of Ice
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, famous explorer, will speak this evening at the University Auditorium at 8:20. He will describe his adventures and tell of the important discoveries made on his second Antarctic Expedition. Nine thousand feet of motion pictures never shown before will illustrate the lecture.
Fifty-six men comprised his band of scientists, aviators and explorers who spent 18 months in a land of ice. The group sailed on the twenty-second of October, 1833, and returned May 10, 1835. Byrth himself considers the achievements of his latest expedition the most important of his entire career.
Films Show Adventures
Stories pictured by word and film will show the adventures of the party. There were airplane flights over the monstrous glittering continent, sledge and tractor parties which witnessed the biological and geological import, and amusing incidents of the day by day life at Little America. You see the strange life of the dead continent—the penguins, seals, shu gulls, anemones, a fish and other exploratory flights which revealed that Antarrica is one continent and that the Antarctic mountains are probably a part of the Andean chain. You glimpse Admiral Byrd at sea and sail his solitary vall 123 miles south of Little America where, in a tiny hut, in complete isolation, he maintained the world's southernmost weather station during five months of monstrous and monotonous Polar Ice. Many important landmarks like Expedition Thousands of square miles have been added to the world's map. The newly-learned data is of every-day significance i
Naval Academy Graduate
Naval Academy Graduate
Byrd was born in Winchester, Va. Oc., 25. 1888. He entered the United States Naval Academy in 1908 and was graduated in 1912. Five years later, because of injury to his head, he joined Navy in 1917 he entered the Naval Air Training school at Pensacola, Florida and began his career as an aviator.
During the war he was in charge of the U. S. Air Stations in Canada, later serving on the Commission in Charge of Air Training Camps. His first experience in the service was with the Navy-MacM竿 Arctic Expedition in 1923 where he was in charge of the Naval unit. He was made Lieutenant Commander upon his return. The next year he headed his group to Antarctica, the Flyd Bonneyienst, was first to cross the North Pole by air. In 1927 Byrd realized his ambition of nine years standing—to fly the Atlantic, and achieved this in a memorable following year he organized and headed the first Byrd Antarctic Expedition, founded Little America, and made the first successful flight over the South Pole, Nov. 24, 1920. He went to Antarctica in May, 1935, he returned from the Byrd Antarctic Expedition II.
Will Arrive in Morning
Will Arrive in Morning
Byrd has received innumerable honors. Unable to confer any further upon him,公爵 presumes adopted a joint treatise with the nation's government to the Expedition, and President Roosevelt himself greeted their return at the Washington, D. C., Navy Yard.
Byrd will arrive this morning. The small committee who will greet him will include Chancellor Lindley, Alfred Lawrence, mayor, Col. Babcock, Nicholas Johnson, and Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor. The chief of police will furnish a police escort. Byrd will stay at the Eldridge hotel during the afternoon and speak with those five years ago there was a record attendance.
Co-Presidents Elected By 'Honor' Organization
Students must have their activity cards stamped on the back by the business office signifying that their age has been paid to gain admittance.
Pachacamac and P.S.G.L. Wrangle Over Party Ties As Threats Are Made and Unconstitutional Elections Are Discovered
Annual Music Week Planned
Mid-Western Band Festival to Be Combined With Regular Events
Politics have again entered into the Owl Society, supposedly the junior men's "honor" group. And the result is that now the organization has two presidents: one from the PSGL party and one from the Pacachiac.
On Feb. 11, Ross Robertson was elected president of the group since last semester's president, Arnold Gilbert, had dropped out of school at the end of the first semester. On this night, the PSGL members present discovered that they would be able to elect the president easily. They saw to it that John Phillips and Bill Townsley were nominated. No other nominations were made. The PSGL members
Plans are being formulated to make the University's School of Fine Arts music festival in May one of the finest ever held.
Dean D. M. Swarthout, in conjunction with Prof. Russell Wiley, director of the University band, is now at work on a schedule of events that will combine the band festival with the regular activities of music week.
Dean Swarthout has just contracted to bring to the University as the artist on the Young American Artist's Program, a young Katherine, who has been winning honors in the East. Mr. Harms, whose home is in Ottawa, has been secured for a recital at the University Monday evening. May he be part of the annual being been a pillow of Josef Hofmann and has already acquired considerable reputation as a young artist of real promise.

Influenza Scourge at M. U.
Worst Epidemic Since World War Fills Columbia Hospitals
Columbia, M., Feb. 24. (UF)—A mushrooming influenza epidemic alarmed faculty and students at the University of Missouri today as hospital space rapidly diminished with no end to the disease in sight.
Dr. Dan G. Stine, medical director, said that the influenza spread was the cause of 50 cases were treated. Previously an epidemic involving 500 cases was recorded. The medical director did not believe it would be necessary to close the Uni-
"It would only tend to spread the disease and would prove of no benefit to the students," he said.
One hundred seventy patients were being cared for at the University's 100-bed hospital. Noyes hospital was full and Parker hospital was nearly full. Thirty cases were discovered today and 45 cases were admitted to hospitals yesterday. One death, that of Justin Findin of Shreveport, La., has occurred.
GRAD TO APPEAR IN EDITION OF YOUNG MEN'S "WHO'S WHO"
Dr. M. J. Renner, 20, m² of Goodland, will appear in the 38th-39 edition of *What We Wish* by Whitney White. Who among the young men of the nation. His biographical sketch has been requested by the editors of the book. Another young man has been received him for correction.
Dr. Renner is a member of the Norton-Decatur County Medical Society, a fellow of the American Medical Association, member of the American College of Surgeons, a director of the Goodland Chamber of Commerce. He is also a member of Nu Sigma Nu, medical fraternity.
Then proceeded to write in the name of Ross Robertson on their ballots. It is said that the vote was six, two, two. At that meeting there were six PSGL's press and five Paceacmaes. One Paceacmae evidently did not vote, probably Townley, since he was up for the office. Phillips was off at town at the time, on a debate tour.
Two-Thurs. Necessary to Elect
During the past few years, all elections for officers of the group were decided by a majority vote (or the group as is done in organizational meetings). But in order to迎战 this affair, which was naturally disquiting to them since they had lost the presidency, the Phaechaeas discovered that the forgotten constitution required a two-thirds vote to elect an officer.
When the group met last Sunday to initiate three men who had been passed at the previous meeting, the Facha-maacs immediately pointed out the grave mistake and demanded that it be corrected.
Robertson relinquished the chair and the meeting was thrown open for nominations. At this time the PSGL's threatened that unless Robertson was elected president, the three men who were Robertson's aides would be black-ballied as the voting on them had also been pointed out as being unconstitutional.
It is not known whether this statement was inferred or said outright as all members of the society have been attempting to cover up their disgrace, and Robertson was able to tell what was said just what the results would be if Robertson was not elected.
Pachacamacs Have Had Control
12.418
Natural the meeting was getting no place, except that the two factions were becoming very disgusted with one another, because neither one would let the other have its way. In the past, with unconstitutional elections the common vote was not required to control elections as they have always had a majority of the members. But with a constitutional election requiring a two-thirds vote neither party could elect one of their own members, due to the fact that the party has the required electoral majority.
The beauty of the entire affair is that the supposed honor society has been able to over-ride its political boundaries, and even in party now has a president of the organization.
After much wrangling, a compromise was reached and Pachacamacue John Phillips and PSGI. Roose Robertson were invited to play the three men, of course, were initiated.
