Bo's Director. . . Do You Have
an Extra Loaf of Bread? . . .
Better Late.
Here's a neat bit of something or other on Chuck Black, better known to the other Sigma Chs at the hotel or the "Dead-Pan Pete." He is business called "The Lariat" which, it goes on to state, "is Published by and for all" "Tucker Men" past, present, future, by the Tucker Ranch, camp for boys in Colorado, Seymour. So he is from KU. In June will head the list as Director of Activities and Special Features. This, we are sure, is welcome news to all Tucker men as Chuck has always been a big fan of the Rockies, a camper years ago at Tucker, Chuck displayed real ability and was first a Junior leader, then Counsellor and now he will be our Director of Activities. We don't know of a young man with such a nature, Nature and ability to take over this department. Possessed of a splendid personality he has the innate ability to win and inspire confidence. (Oh, a confidence man, chl) We predict a big chance for Chuck in organized camp-
So Uncle Peter, you're going to dt your camping in a big way and with organization and everything. But it just another Sigma Chi rushing scheme
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Don't know what this college must be coming to. Yesterday morning in class Jack Morrison tapped on us on the shoulder and queried, "Do you have a pair of sissors with you?" Since we were in our third year at Salt, Hub Meyer offered the cup of coffee and roll which he always carries, but Jack would have none of them
The finals must really be having their effects this spring—naw one young lady taking her lunch to the library yesterday. That's a next way of getting the book first—you know, the volume you have to read in one night.
Comes a tale of a band of primitives who strolled into the Blue Mill the other night. It seems that none other than Larry Lee the Hawk was at the window, but she was behind them dainly behind her came about four lads, barefoot and with their trousers rolled up to their knees. Just an innocent bunch of young pranksters me
Swarthout Returns Here
Pingo Senzo reminded us yesterday of a story we forgot to give you. At the Kansan Board banquet recently the guest speaker for the event, Mr. Erik Berkowitz, all they thought he was really to speak in ersent about the value of the dollar abroad or suhit' but he turned out to be about the clearest comedian that I ever saw. It is cordially forsook. The funniest part comes in when everyone present saw Lester Subler, '30, for the last five years with the Capper Publications Incorporated, the whole speech. He hasn't thought of a good excuse yet, so Ping says.

Greeks Favor Limiting Stag Lines At Varsities
By Herbert Meyer, c. 26
If the views of a selection of K. U Greeks are any indication of the attitude of the Greeks as a whole, next year's vindyars and mid-weeks will be more or less less affairs. Fraternity and sorority members, of course, are not the only ones who go in for the Hill's social functions. At varsities and mid-weeks, their representative are in the majority.
During the past year, the questio has been raised frequently about the vast number of stags who attend the varieties and mid-weeks and do some "plain and fancy threat cutting" on the stags. As I am aware these dances without dates, the stags enjoy all the privileges attained by those who have gone to the trouble of "dragging" dates. The daters pay all of the major expenses, such as they need for clothing, meals, merely pay the minimum charges, so to speak, and then make it almost impossible for the daters to enjoy a single full dance with the damself. Not only that, but the vast numbers of stags have an amount of space available for dancing.
By Herbert Meyer, c'36
In an effort to solve this problem of excessive stages and cutting at dances, the group has worked on building, has attempted to limit the stage lines at different times. The "union lines" at different times.
Communist Leaders Ask for "More Babies" To Build Up Russia
For next year, as a means of giving
Moseson, May 28—UP)—Communist party leaders today launched a campaign for "more babies" throughout the nation to build up Russia's man power.
The campaign announced through the Pravda (The Truth) the party's official organ, emphasized that since the Bolshevik revolution, the population had increased 25 million persons. "We are sincerely happy at this moment," the announcement said. "Our people must break all records in this field too."
"The greater our birth rate the quicker we will be able to put our potential wealth to the service of people who have cast off the age of slavery to capitalists and land-owners kulaks. (wealthy peasants)."

Forum Speakers
Faculty members who will willis current topics for seniors, alumni, patrons, and friends of the University of Kansas during the Senior Week
those who are opposed to the excessive cutting an equal chance. Cochrane will be in charge of defending dances during the year. He will also continue his policy of limiting greatly the number of stags. Since 1958 is the annual leap year dances also are proposed.
Most of the students from the fraternities and sororites interact at dance events at Nearly everyone, too, was enthusiastic about a staggered dances and leap year
Jim Clarkson, c36, a member of Phil Delta Thea, believes that cutting at varietsis is all right if the number of stags is limited. He also approved the idea of stageless dances. As for leap year dances, Clarkson said "One or two be all right more, but I wouldn't like to see any more that."
According to Margaret Ryan, c36, a Pi Beta Phi, "Cutting is all right, but I do believe that the stag number should be strictly limited." Miss Ryan would like a few stewless affairs next semester and one leap year dance each semester.
Phil Bramwell, c. 368, a Sigma Chi asserted, "I believe that its a good idea to have cutting at variates. The stages have never bothered me a great deal. I think it would be a good idea to have them but I'm dumbfult if it would work out."
Law School Students Vote for Honor System
(Continued on Page Three)
Favor to Continue Code Adopted in 1922; Is Unanimous
The students in the School of Law have unanimously voted to continue the Honor System which was inaugurated in 1982 and adopted a code for its government.
Provision is made for a governing committee for the Honor System to be made up of the presidents of each of the three classes, one delegate at large from the honor roll of the school from the honor roll of the school elected by the honor students.
The code was formulated by a committee composed of the following students: Roy H. Green, T35, president of the senior class; Herbert Hyland, T35, Roy H. Borders, T36, Law school repatriated; Mélanie Littas, T36, president of the mid-law class; and Edgar King, T37, president of the freshman class.
The purpose of the Honor System is to enforce ethical conduct at all times on the part of students in the School Board, in the schools and in the use of library facilities. Violations of the code will be determined by the governing committee, and punishment for infractions will be determined by a criminal probation. When judged appropriate, the committee involves a less of credits or grade points, or suspension or expulsion from the school, the matter will be discussed in private, with the guest that the sentence be executed.
"Would Destroy Freedom'
Tuscaloosa, Ala., May 28. —(UP) —
The threat of a fascist government durks behind charges that Communism is being taught in American colleges.
Secretary of the Interior Harold Licks warned last night.
It is the "Fascist element in America," Ickes said in an address prepared for Alabama Commencement, exercising leadership what appears to be a deliberate and concerted onlaught on academic discourse, which is of the very essence of fraternity.
This effort to "muzzle our professors and put wax in the cars of our students," he declared as "a preliminary step in the direction of the establishment of a dictatorship in this country, with the benefits of special privilege."
Secretary Ickes Says That Is Goal of Fascist and Communists
He branded the charge that American colleges are hot-beds of radicalism where Communism is actually being ridiculous as it is unfounded."
"But those who would destroy academic freedom," the cabinet officer explained, "needed some excuse for their onslaught on the colleges and they are not notorious for their scrupulous adherence to the truth."
Ickes urged that both Fascism and Communism "be resisted with all our strength," he said "both are tyrannies ... . . . equally abhorrent to us."
F.D.R. Will Attempt To Resurrect NRA By Revised Laws
Outline of Structure Vague and Blurred as Work Starts on New Plan
Washington, D.C., May 28 — (UP) The New Deal will try to erect on the ruins of the NHA another framework of control within which business can.
The outline of this structure, still vague and blured tonight, calls for the voluntary co-operation of business owners in imposing impossible codes, the business men themselves will draw up the agreements and submit their federal trade commission for approval.
Senator Gerald P. Nye, Republican of North Dakota, put lawyers to work studying the plans, and administration officials who were all over Washington tonight, legal experts and congressman and labor leaders sought some formula for continuing the NRA without running afoul of the law, in battles against government code making.
Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson stated the administration's attitude when he rose in the Senate today and said, "The court decision has impaired our ability to effectively possible for congress to redraw the act in the light of the court's ruling." The supreme court's decision left President Roosevelt with the alternative of dropping the NRA or trying to salvage something for legislation in consultation with the two men later because the two men most vitally concerned with NA legislation—Chairman Pat Harrison of the Senate Finance committee, and Chairman Robert Doughton of the House Ways and Means committee—hurried from conference to
United Press dispatches indicated the country was calm. The board of directors of the National Association of Manufacturers called upon industries to "en-ooperate to the fullest extent to pre-vent damage during the period of read-judgment."
