"It will be a popular lecture and will probably include discussions about our future." He and other subjects of interest to the average citizen and in terms that he can understand."

Just a Little Election Hooney . . .
How to Study in the Library . . .
We Hear From Wilcox . . . and
What's Left.
To all those unbelieving souls who heard no explosions etc., we wish to remark, yes, we did have an election yesterday. Although it was an exceptionally quiet one, we had it anyway. . . Herbert Mueller refused to vote because he figures he has no business poking into local affairs. . . there reason is that he would figure that way but how nice it would be if some others did. . . then maybe there wouldn't be so many grapes from the voters because Clyde Nichols was a little too strenuous with his over-the-shoulder kibitzing (maybe it's called officiating in other circles). As usual there was much talk of a "close election" . . . that happens every year too, no matter how close the return actually are. . . when the news came out, was the appearance of a large number of cars apparently borrowed from the family for the day. The autos paraded up and down the campus all day decorated with large stickers saying "Official Car P.S. G.L." After noting the cars, drivers, passengers, etc. we recommend that next year the labels read, "Official Car B.E.T. A." and quit all this trying to fool the common herd. . . There wasn't the usual noise. . . The lack of noise, no pops on the nose like happened to the "Violet Red" last year and all that. It's nice to know that the boys are all little gentlemen, isn't it?
Saw a most lovely sight yesterday. One of the assistant librarians in the reserve room, sitting behind the large desk, completely absorbed in Mercury magazine and the age-old pastime of nose picking. Really a most elevating business—and it is conducive to concentrated study.

Come rumors on horseback of the doings of John Parkman Wilcox, lately of the Sig Alph Lodge, and still is when he can get away from Witcha and Parsons. We first heard of Parkry through one of his friends, Katherine, from him with the following letterhead, "The Army of the Unemployed, J. Parkman Wilcox, Chief of Staff." Now she has received another letter and guess what—he has a job now doing relief

Women Will Sing in Costume at Lawrence Memorial High School
The Brahms Quartet will present an unusual program of vocal chamber music in the Lawrence Memorial high school auditorium at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, April 9. Admission will be 50 for middle school and 10 cents for high school students.
The quartet is making a tour of the central and southwestern states, under the management of the National Music League. Four women compose the quartet and are as follows: Lydia Summers, contralto; Elinor Marker, centrato; Frances Newman, sepranue; Nadine Cox, bassoon; graduate of the University class of '22.
The Brahma Quartet will appear in their costumes of crisp tafetta crinolines of the early '60s. The following comment was made by the New York Times: "They approached their tasks with accuracy and delicacy akin to a pianist, who could render a pure blend of voices that lent moments of enchantment to familiar airs."
Missouri Students Vote Against Peace Strike
Paul Harris Refuses to Speak at Meeting at Columbia
Students of the University of Missouri have adopted a middle of the road policy with respect to the proposal for a national student peace strike April 12. They have refused to participate in the strike, and Paul Harris, a member of the National Council for the Prevention of War, who was scheduled to address the students the morning of the strike has withdrawn. His reasons for doing so were withheld by Fred Graham, graduate student, who is chairman of the student peace group.
The student committee against war will sponsor a series of antiwar talks instead. A mass oath to be taken by the students in which they would pledge themselves never to bear arms outside the United States was the center of the controversy. Graham has indicated that it might be abandoned. Instead of Mr. Harris, the student gathering, composed of Students from M.U. Christian College and Stephens College, all of which are located in Columbia, will be addressed the night before the proposed walkout by the Rev. Ralph C. Abele, pastor of the Holy Ghost Evangelical Church of Boca Raton, Florida, on Friday morning, April 12, the speakers will be Dr. John Wolf, a member of the University history faculty; Dr. Carl Agee, dean of the Missouri Bible College; Robert Neider, president of the student governing body, and Dr. Abele.
Debaters Argue New Deal
Halper and Hackler Speak Before Kansas City Kiwanis Club
The new deal was debated before a luncheon of the Kiwanis Club of Kansas City, Kan., yesterday by a debate team from the University composed by Charles Hastler, 136. Prof. E. C. Buchler was chairman of the
Halper, condemning the policies of the new deal was the first speaker. In a twelve minute constructive speech he pointed out the contradictory policies within the new deal and reviewing the preamble to the NRA which called for the greatest possible productivity and for an increase in the standard of living, he pointed out how these promises had not materialized.
Hackler in his defense of the new dealt point out its aim, saying that we had no alternative that was intelligent and workable.
Two members of the faculty of the department of military science and tactics are confined to their homes by illness. Sgt. William H. Kollerender is suffering from a throat infection. Sgt. H. E. Roy slipped on the stairs in the tower of Fowler Tuesday and is still in bed with a strained back.
In his final rebuttal, Haber, replying to Hackler's protestations of Roosevelt's good intentions, said that all people had good intentions, that all would want to see a happer world and that they should have empty臂 pit for his unfulfilled good intentions. An audience of about 60 held the debate.

A large crowd of about 350 persons attended the second of the series of round-table discussions sponsored by the K.U. Peace Action committee last evening in the men's louge of the Memorial building.
There was a panel of four speakers Rev. Joseph King, Dr. Herbert Mueller, Dr. Dinamore Adler, and Dr. John Lea.

Olivia Templin who is ill.
"What causes war?" was the topic for discussion. It was generally agreed by the speaker that there is no single cause of war but rather a combination of
Dr. Herbert Muceller: "Unjust treaties such as the treaty of Versailles are a great cause of war."
Rev. Joseph King: "International anarchy or the absence of any intelligent or civilized method of solving our problems is the main cause of war."
Dr. Dinmore Alter: "There are three main causes of war: a grape, or the desire to gain anything without paying the full price; lack of military protection; ignorance causing racial and national antipathies."
Dr. John Ise: "Religious zeal, military glory and most important economic desires combined, are responsible and willing to engage in war have different motives."

The Medical School may protect the whole election, or they may just protect the election in their own school. The ballots were locked in the City Jail last night, and there is a possibility that there will be a recounting of votes. Mykland, after the counting was finished last night, said, "I am completely baffled." Charles Anderson, PSGL chairman, had no statement to make.
Francis Kappelman, Pachacamac candid, was elected Athletic Bom. 1 representative by a majority of 79 votes over his opponent, Ray Ebiling.
Two Offices Doubtful
Seventeen Pachacamac candidates were elected, and 15 PSGL nominees. There are two offices doubtful, the representatives from the School of Law and Medicine which resulted in a tie.

Record Vote Cast
The Pachacamacs won all the offices in both the senior and junior classes. More than 1750 votes were cast yesterday, a record vote.
Official cars for both parties were on the campus at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and the interest in the election lasted well into the morning.
In the election last year, in which Pacchamacas won all but two of the offices, the vote was 1417. The record were that in 1925 when 108 votes were cast.
The Kanas office received more than 1500 telephone calls on how the election was coming, starting at 8 o'clock in the morning, until the last votes were counted.
Much credit for an unusually clean and well conducted election was given the elections committee of the Council, composed of Warren Plaskett, chairman, Sol Lindenbaum, and Floyd Eberley. Despite the fact that the proportional representation system made no difference, the final results were available at 1:45 am, three hours earlier than in last year's election.

Mr. W. G. Hamilton and Mr. V. C. Miller, from the State Accountant's office, are making an audit of the Bursar's office. Mr. W. G. Hamilton will take about a month to complete.
