Some complaints were registered against the Sig Alf's after a party. It seems that two freshmen of another fraternity went to the Kappa house for their dates to the party, and the girls were out with the Sig Alf.'s. The girls were kept away against their own will. But you know the Kappa's.
Four or five Ph Dells who used to go with a certain Smith girl here, but now they are not in other corners of the campus because she is no longer in school, always pass her letters around whenever they receive one. Which shows the bonds are
Receive a letter from the ex-ex-
mote, who is happily married and trying
to live off of the profits of a furni-
ment company. Tell him his letter. To win. The sociology and psychology taken in school, sure are a big help in rolling up some linework or carrying a chair. Might mention that there is a big help in running a twocrewer.
The Kappa pledges got too fresh for the older mans of the sorority, so the youngsters were requested, when they study at separate tables, and to stay away from the men folk. Now a person who goes to the reservation room can have peace and quiet; although it is difficult to do so, since there isn't that constant chatter.

We're trying to find out if people are showing a great deal of love for Love Marshall or just letting him know they don't like him. He received a fresh bouquet of vegetables the other day, the meaning of this has us in a hole.
Shirley Jones took a Sig Chi freshman for a ride when the teachers held a dance in the Union building during the day, so she did so did the boy, but she became conscious of looking like anything but a teacher so she told the boy that she went to school here two years ago, and she reasoned the reason for the pin she was wearing.
RACE RELATIONS COMMITTEE HOLDS MEETING YESTERDA
The Race Relations committee of the Student Christian Movement in the Rocky Mountain region held the third of its meetings at Honley house yesterday afternoon to consider suggestions for a new national committee of the Ekes conference. This regional meeting which includes Kansas, Nehrraka, and Colorado, is centered at the University of Kansas, with Wray Choate, c36, and Dorothy Hodge, c37, as chairmen, and Miss Jill O'Connor and Noel P. Gist as advisers.
Class Makes Field Trip
Dr. H. B. Hungerford, head of the entomology department, accompanied members of the biology of arthropods class on a field trip to Smith's Grove, east of Lawrence, yesterday afternoon. A number of black widow spiders and other insect specimens were collected by the class.

H. W. (Bilg) Hargis, freshman football coach, returned to his classes Wednesday after an absence due to a cold. He contracted the cold while he was attending the Nebraska-Missouri football game at Columbia, Mn., last Saturday.
Student Governing Bodies Will Meet Today In Order To Settle Question
It previously was the thought that Nichol's selection by the pep committee was all that was necessary to fill the office vacated last week by the resignation of Verle Ward. However, upon investigation, it was disclosed that in case of any vacancy on the pep committee a man chosen by the pep committee must be approved by both the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A., despite the fact that the original selection of the cheerleaders is entirely up to the pep committee.
Julia Jenks, president of W.S.G.A., said last night that she was calling a special meeting of that organization tomorrow night at 7 o'clock to consider the question of ratifying Nichole election, and urged that all members be present in order to settle the matter.
Enphasing the fact that the cheerleading staff is selected in the first round, he ratified a sufficiency of any kind. Field explained that he had taken it for granted that a vacancy would be filled in the same way, because it naturally took steps to rectify the matter.
The council also will consider the resolution passed Tuesday night by the W.S.A., calling for an all-student convolution on Armistice day, Nov. 11, and will discuss the matter of a change in the eligibility rules.
Field's statement follows: "The perp committee filled the vacancy in the head cheerleader's position the other day, believing that the vacancy should be filled by the same manner that cheerleaders are selected at the first of the year.
"However, I have since discovered that in the case of a vacancy the constitution specifies that the selection of the pop committee must be ratified by both student government associations and the student sports game. I feel that a special meeting today is imperative and to urge all members of the M.S.C. to attend."
INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION MEETS TOMORROW EVENING
Miss Anna McCraen, instructor of philosophy, will open a series of discussions on "The Family Relationship" at the meeting of the Inter-racial Com
Discussions on family problems and the problems of the home will be continued until Christmas. The next series of discussions will be on "Religion and Islam."

Battle to Death
When Tarantula Meets
Hungry Black Widow
"Come around to Snow hall tomorrow and watch one of the biggest fights you ever saw," said Robert Guntert, preparator in the entomology department. The occasion was to be a battle between a black widow spider and a tarantula.
The two enemies were placed in a cage and the expectant audience awaited the fight. Calmly the two spiders surveyed each other, and just as calmly they walked to their respective corners.
This incident took place two weeks ago. Each day the spiders have been visited, and each day their behavior is far from war-like.
"We'll let them get good and humour," said Mr. Guntert, "and then it will be only a question of time until we see the survival of the fitter."
The spiders haven't been fed for several days, but they still insist on remaining the best of friends.
University Traditions Are to Be Reorganized
On which one would you place a bet to win?
Declaring that the whole mass of Umi versity traditions "is pitifully disorganized and ineffective." Lyman Field, press editor of the journal, last night appointed a committee in a statement to the Kanana to make a study of the matter in order to "unify them into a compact matter of record," and establish property of the entire student body."
Field Appoints Committed to Study Present Conditions
Field explained that a reorganization of the traditions would make for improvement in school spirit and in their job of promoting enthusiasm.
Field Makes Statement
The text of Field's statement follows: "The whole mass of traitors at the University of Chicago have organized ineffective. The recent action by the K Club concerning freshman padwang subsequent to a faculty resolution on this subject, has made the crying兄eer."
"Traditions should not be a matter of rigid rules in black and white, but just as surely they should not be the loosely organized, purposeless mass that they are today. There is no question that individually the traditions at the University are fine, but collectively they are almost worthless.
Pep Clubs Show Spirit
"I am appointing the following committee to accomplish this end. Frank Allen, chairman; Robert Thorpe, Edie Rice; Marie Russell, James Jenkins, Dean Cohen; Daniel Sullivan; Professor Melvin. The purpose of this committee will be to study the whole mass of traditions both from records and student opinions; to unify these into a compact master of record, and to offer students a complete and effective reorganization.
"It is too hard that the fine spirit shown by the men's and women's pep clubs in recent weeks has to be backed by such a disorganized set of traditions. They should have something tangible to work with," she said. "The Student Council has failed to keep any adequate records of traditions in their files at all. What few records do exist in those cases are confused, contradictory, and out-of-date. For this reason, I feel that a rather exhaustive study of the male basis of traditions should be made."
"If this is accomplished, traditions at the University can once again become the common property of the entire student body rather than the sole interest of a few enthusiastic individuals and organizations."
This meeting is under the auspices of the Council of Religion of the University of Minnesota, a university church groups. It will be an all-student union service. The chairman of the meeting is Rajah McKibbin, c36 Elizabeth Anderson, c36, in charge of电
The speakers will be Roland Welborn Helen Corbett, c'uncl, Albert C. Voth gr, and Alfred Ames, c'36.

Freshman Leaders Concede No Votes In Election Today
Polls in Administration and Engineering Buildings Open From Nine Until Five
An extremely close vote is expected today on the candidates for freshman class offices. Neither party has conceded any votes, and a forecast as to whether it is difficult, since the leaders of each party predict an overwhelming victory.
Members of each group were instructed by their leaders last night on the proper voting procedure, and Paul Wilbert, chairman of the Men's Student Body, said the students is satisfied that the election will be honestly the choice of the class.
Voting will be in the basement of the Administration building and in the Engineering building. The polls will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, and will be present throughout the day to decide technicalities, and Prof. Edward O. Stene will assist in the counting of the votes, which will be conducted by auditors. All unclassified students should go to Registrar George O. Foster to make sure that they are eligible to vote. All voters will be required to present identi-
Wilbert said that the ballots were worded so that the instructions could not possibly be misconstrued, and that large cards of special instructions will be given to the officers and diplates are seeking out the offices of president and treasurer, so that "P. R" will not play a part there, but it is conceivable that some voters may split their tickets on the candidates for dance officer, and thus cause this system to operate.
Despite the efforts of political leaders, the issue will probably center around the distinction between fraternity and non-fraternity men. The Freshman Independent Movement was formed, its leaders say, to combat the machine that has driven the fight for Pachascamale leaders deny that any distinction exists in their organization, and contend that it is largely made up of non-fraternity men.
The nominees are: for president, Paul Moritz, Independent, and Phil Burick, Executive Director of the mana's. Independent, and Dick Newlin, Pacachaean; for dance managers, Walter Hildebrand and George Russell, Independent, and Procter Ritchie and Don Duffy.
Their fellow class officers, elected by the freshman women a week ago, are Dorothy Willcutt, vice president, and Emily Weiskan, vice president; will take office immediately and the president will sit as a non-voting member on the Men's Student Council. The two women officers are given votes from Women's Self Governing Association.
Landon Speaks in Cleveland Governor Explains Methods of Economy Practiced in Kansas
Cleveland, Nov. 6—(UP)—Two Republican governors—both of them possible candidates for the presidential nomination—called upon the business men of Ohio to inject some "good old days" into the economy and to "stick close to the constitution."
The speakers, appearing at an Ohio Chamber of Commerce convention banquet, were Gov. All M. Landon of Kankakee and Senator Joe Barrer, both steered clear of ourright partisan policy, but underlying the address was a plaes for the return of the Republican national administration. The governor economizer and budget lausan, in Kansas, has made him one of the most talked-of candidates for the Republican presidential nominee, an indirect attack on Rosevelt's monetary and government spending
"Unsound fiscal policy has been ruinous to every government in the history of civilization," he warned.
Landon urged a "pay-as-you-go" policy for government spending so that "we can pay for our own mistakes and not expect our children to pay for them." Listeners read into his words an attack on the New York City office under the Roosevelt administration.
He told of Kansas "cash basis law" under which the state and its subdivision act, which prevents government action," which prevents government officials from spending what they do not have, and the "budget law" which gives lawmakers the authority how the state should spend its money.
