The Election Is Over—Almost . . .
We Get a Letter From Huey Born . . .
So He Sued the Nasty University.
Well, the election is almost over—almost since the medics have seen fit to dispute this and that, and they might as well, because then there will be more fun for people and stuff. As is usual, everyone is gripping about how the election turned out—and why shouldn't they—the first time in years that both parties have been represented anywhere near equally and that's enough to grip any politician even though it's college politics. It's so damned funny that people figure that when both parties are represented in the council there won't be any good done at all — even if we don't need them in general about how much good they're going to do for us our pops who don't seek offices, but if hal' of each party gets in why they just simply can't even try to get anything done—or so the attitude speaks anyway. However, to let bygones be bygones and such drive, it was some fun eh kid?
Might we use this little white space to remark that you intermittent per wielders are certainly falling down or your contest job. Of course you might have been knocking at Memory's moustache but after all, you are having a challenge you know.
Even though we're not getting many contest letters, here's a nice one from Kenny Bom. the people's chore for it, other-can't remember just what it is.
Dear Joe: How could you do it Joe!? After all these years, you with a brilliant stroke of insight penetrate into my innermost nature, and tear away the mask, revealing me as Huey Long II. It hurts Joe, it cuts to the quick.
For you have stamped me for life-
 you've got my number and you let the
whole world know.
P. S. I wish I were a Huey Long for a brief spell. You heard about Huey and Smart Alec reporters, ain't you Joe?
K. B.
Well, well, and once again well—of course we've heard about Huey and his reporters Kenny, and the smell comes clear up here from the deep South—and another thing dear, Huey didn't do anything to the reporters himself did. Of course he isn't Golden Gloves champ like Afficec though. Anyway, it was a nice letter and you're welcome to the advertising.
After this political campaign we thought surely the campus would have a little rest but no—a freshman lawyer who has to go and see the University, Bill Cochrane or something and we have to have some more stink. It seems to us people—who of course know nothing about the matter—that Joseph Sutton of Lawrence, the flaw on the Kaw, is getting just a trifle too gross for his parity-waits when he starts suing universities and such things. Of course, even if he is senior law perhaps he wouldn't look quite so comical with his little antics but deer me mother-Perhaps weds better stog the gah thought and wait until after the trial--you know we really can't afford to be sued for libel.
All you young things who wish to get married take a little hint from Betty Williams Pennington—you get mad as the devil when it takes you an hour to use a can opener for your better half.
It's a funny thing, but child-students around these things always seem to bring their visiting parents to the library first of all when they come to us at work and at play. Perhaps it's because a little stadium atmosphere at the star center is better when the request on the portal book check books.
GRADUATES OF 1919 TO HOLD
REUNION THIS AFTERNOON
The class of 1910 will hold its twenty-fifth anniversary reunion this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the alumnist office. This class is called the "Quarter Century Class" or the "Silver Anniversary Class." This meeting is to make plans for the future and it is the most important reunion of the year.
Summons Served Defendants Friday In Midweek Case
Trial Scheduled to Begin at 3 o'Clock April 15; Sutton His Own Attorney
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 1935
Summons were served Friday afternoon on Dean Henry Werner and Bill Cochrane in the suit brought by Joseph Sutton, first year law student, to collect damages for being forced to pay a tensive felt at the midweek wansites. Dean Werner is in charge of the Union operation committee and Cochrane is manager of the Union building.
Stages at the midweeks have been paying a ten-cent fine, disguised as an admittance charge, ever since the plan of having these dances was begun, three years ago. About two months ago Cochrane conceived the idea of limiting the number of stags at the dances to 200, to relieve the congestion on the floor.
The trial is scheduled to begin in the Justice Court of O. J. Lane, at 3 o'clock the afternoon of April 15. Sutton charges that there has been a breach of contract since the activity books specifically state that the midweek varisties shall be free. He is asking for five dollars damages and thirty cents actual damages, occasioning the violation of the third test three times. Sutton will act as his own attorney. The Union operating committee has appointed a sub-committee to look into the matter.
Social Workers to Hold Annual Meeting in Salina
Clark and Nash Prominent in Conference to Be April 11-13
The Kansas Social Welfare Organizations will hold their thirty-fifth annual conference in Salina, April 11, 12 and 13. The organizations included are the Kansas Conference of Social Work, of which Prof. Carroll Clark of the department of sociology is president; the Kansas Association for Welfare Legislation; the Kansas Society for Women; and the Kansas Society for Mental Hygiene of which Prof. Bert Nash, associate professor of education, is president; and the Kansas Probation Officers' Association.
Various round tables, luncheon meetings and informal conferences will be held by groups interested in social welfare. Among these will be the sociology teachers in Kansas and universities such as the Red Cross workers and recreational workers. The general sessions will be open to the public upon payment of a small visitors' fee. It is hoped that every county in Kansas will be represented at these meetings. The central committee will also give promise for these gatherings and gives promise of an attendance that will shatter all previous records.
The first Kansas Conference of Social Work was held in Topeka 1900, under the leadership of Prof. F. W. Blackman of the University and Dr. C. R. Dixon of Haskell Institute. The Kansas Conference has been active in studying the conditions of the State Charitable and Correctional Institutions, has assumed leadership in encouraging social welfare organizations in the state and has been influential in promoting progressive social legislation. It played an action role in establishing the A.M.P. Kindergarten's Law, a model case of legislation that has been widely copied in other states and was largely responsible for the law which established, in 1931, a Temporary Public Welfare Commission to study and report on needs for public welfare administration in the state.

Allen May Coach American Olympic Basketball Squad
Mentors Nominate Kansar to Drill United States Entry; Naismith Honored
Dr. Forrest C. Allen was nominated Friday by the National Association of Basketball Coaches meeting in Chicago their choice to coach the American all-star basketball team in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
This will be the first time that basketball has been included in the Olympic program.
At the same meeting a movement was started to schedule a "Naishtm Day" at every college and high school next season to raise a fund to send Dr. James A. Naishtm to the 1936 Olympic games.
The major action taken by the coaches on the 1834-35 basketball rules was on the pivot-post play. The coaches voted to recommend to the committee that a law be enacted whereby no offensive player, with or without the ball, would remain for more than three successive seconds in the free throw area of his opponent, except to pursue a loose ball.
It is expected that the recommendation will be voted into the rules by the rules committee, which meets in New York today and tomorrow.
This action was directed at the tall pivot post men who hold their positions in the free lanes indefinitely.
A move to eliminate the center jump was defeated 32 to 27 by the coaches, John Bunn, formerly of the University of Kansas and now of Stanford was the leader of the proposed elimination game. The decision will be made by Dr. Allen and Dr. Naismith.
Another former Kansan, Alfred "Dutch" Lonberg, Northwestern coach, was elected president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches for the coming year.

Official Statement from the Student Strike Against War Committee:
"The K. U. Strike Against War committee announces that, contrary to adverse publicity, students at this university will conduct an orderly strike against war on April 12 as part of a world-wide collegiate protest against war, armaments, and all related evils.
The Coffin Foundation offers five thousands dollars a year to be divided among about eight students in electrical engineering who are seeking to further an individual project or desire to do research work. The fellowships are only to students who are interested in engineering research and who have shown especial aptitude for engineering research. A large degree of responsibility is attached to the work.
"Reports that there will be no strike at the University of Missouri are fallacious. The chairman of the strike committee at that school has stated that preparations for the demonstration are proceeding favorably."
"The committee cites the names of many other American universities which will definitely conduct peace strikes on April 12. More important, the committee states that the University of Michigan State Normal, Colgate, Marshall College in W. Va., Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, University of Missouri, De Pauw, U.C.L.A., San Mateo, University of Oregon, Western Reserve, New York University, Columbia, Yale, College of the City of New York, and Wisconsin University. Among local colleges and universities, the strike are Kansas City University and Friends' University at Wichita.
"A huge walk-out is expected for the strike at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University despite vicious attacks by their student papers, chairman of the respective strike committees have announced.
"The strike committee of Columbia University anticipates the larger- outdoor demonstration in the history of the university. All sections of the university will be present."
"The K. U. Strike Against War committee wishes to make it clear that the strike will not be in the form of a parade, that the demonstration is to be conducted in an orderly, intelligent manner, and that its purpose is not for sensationalism, but that it is the only way in which we can effect the destruction of the American people that it declaratively against war and all the agents of war, and that it is definitely aligning itself against those evils."

Law and Medical Polls Will Reopen To Decide on Ties
Recount of Votes to Be Taken for President of the M. S. C. Tomorrow
By Kansan Political Writer
The present squabble between the two political parties over the election held Thursday, will tentatively be settled by Tuesday night. The elections committee, headed by Warren Plasket, chairwoman of the Democratic and Floyd Eberly, met last night and rejected the protest filed by members of both parties with the exception of the protest concerning the officer of representative of the School of Law and the School of Medicine which resulted in a tie, both of which will be run off Tuesday. On Monday, all polls will be open from 9 am until 5 pm, only the tie votes will be run off.
The protet turned in, presented by students working for combined law and college degrees that they should be allowed to vote on both law and college representatives, was rejected on the grounds that it would make no differ-ence in college representatives and these students have already voted in the School of Law.
A recount of the votes will be taken for president of the Men's Student Council Monday night. The elections committee, the chairmen of both political parties, and two representatives of each of the parties will supervise the account. Those who are to be present at the recount will be notified later of the meeting.
Both parties are hoping for a complete settlement of the election by 1.25 day. The fact that the vote between the top officers was so close, the recount is to be taken to eliminate the possibility of error in the first counting. Out of all the candidates for president Lyman Field has a four-thouser majority over Norbert Anschutz.
Largest Election Ever Held
Besides being the largest election ever to be held at the University, observers report that this has been by far the cleanest and most efficiently conducted that has been held in many years. The polls were carried over the result of the election is due entirely to the closeness of the balloting, and some ill-advised precedence set by election boards of previous years. No blame for the unforeseen complications that have arisen should be laid to either the elections board or the Men's Student Council. In spite of the large turnout, there was little representation, the ballots were counted more quickly and efficiently than at any other time in the history of the school.
The polls were conducted in an orderly fashion and there was little of the confusion around them that characterized the elections of other years.
