on the SHIN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c.35
Oh boy, boy—oh we have a fine debate Tuesday night or did we have a debate Tuesday night! Of all the sissified meetings ever held, that one was the worst. Of course, it really isn’t considered sissified to refrain from throwing mud at your political enemies, but you know how it is—you get so accustomed to something, and then you just just a wee bit disappointed. It really looked as though things were to pace him to start popping a little when Pachacamac Prexy LoetMeter got a little hot under the collar about some nasty allusions to the general unecesseness of the N.S.F.A. but we were doomed to disappointment because he merely tried to correct a few misstatements and let it go at that. . . We wonder if others have also likened him to Huey Long. . . He was very funny, no effect cleverer than him, and no effect cleverer than a little amusement, and that was necessary to keep the interested (2) spectators from going to sleep
. The rising sun candidate for M.S.C. president, Norbert Anschutz, tried to speak with conviction and probably would have if he hadn't read his entire offering, but he looked pretty at least, what with a nice clean stiff shirt, and the reddest face this side of the Mississippi. . . thought he might be in front thing they treated everyone with, "Ladies, Gentlemen, and Voters." And lastly, we come to friend Lyman—we're throwing him a rose and the odds are ten to one he'll faint when he sees it. All kidding on the shelf though, he was the only one of the whole outfit who spoke with conviction and appeared to really believe in what he was saying. . . and there goes our vote for the president.
"Tis said that you can fool some of the people some of the time—and so on, far into the night, but you can't fool Rabi Rex Woods. Monday Rex's friend Emma Jo Swainley called him and imparted to him the joysome tidings that she told the messes she had to tell her Says it can't fool me! I know this is April Fool's Day, Tootse," and there he had her—he thought. Only she really has the messes.
We understand that Rabbi Meyerberg surprised his students and gave them a little quiz last week—or was it the week before? Anyway, about the middle of the examination, he announced that each student, as he finished the quiz, was to put on the bottom of his paper, "I did," or "I did not either give or receive any help during this quiz." That means the students were unable due to a little quandary in the con- dition to write anything on the bottom of their papers, but one smart lady wrote, "neither gave nor received any help on this quiz—after the teacher tol
The Last Word
(Continued on page three)
"A typographical error in the council's financial statement showed estimated expenses of $1000 more than they should have.
The actual statement shows that our expenses were approximately $34 in excess of the budget. This is entirely due to the extraordinary expense of $400 for bund issues which could not have been screened at the time the budget was made.
"Our ordinary, day-to-day expenses were about $60 less than the budgeted amount, which indicates conservative financial practice."

Speaker Warns Civilization
Eichelberger Forecasts International Debacle if World Court Fails
LAWREENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1835
"Civilization will be destroyed unless we be willed by World Court decisions," said J. Herbert Eichberger, lecturer in history at the Association, at the noon forum every day.
Mr. Etcheiberger, speaking on "International Peace Machinery," stated that we cannot effectively establish world security until at least all the major nations become a working part of a League of Nations.
"Had there been a League of Nations before the war . . . there would have been no war, I believe." Mr. Eichlerberger said. He explained that a league offers a permanent place for settling international disputes and eliminates the red tape of diplomacy between disputing countries. A League offers an opportunity for more intelligent settlement of differences.
"Countries must not be forced into the League, nor should they be obligated to accept its decisions. I believe that they will obey it through a sense of moral duty. Of 25 decisions handed down by the Court, all have been accepted voluntarily."
"The United States must enter the League to secure world peace and security," Mr. Eichleberger said.
Stiff Practices Scheduled to Condition Sqaud for Relays, April 20
Tracksters Down to Work
Xesterday was the beginning of the stuff workouts scheduled for the Kansai track squad, regardless of weather conditions.
This hard practice is to last until the Kansas Relays, April 20. The squad needs a lot of training to get into fit physical condition for this, the most important meet of the season, according to Coach Hargigs.
Unless Coach Hargis is notified that he will receive all expenses to the A.A. U. meet to be held in the Coliseum at St. Louis next Saturday, there will be no more meets before the Relays. If the plans do materialize, only the trackers composing the mile relay team will make the trip.

The Last Word
"I am glad that the campaign has been carried on without the use of yellow handbills throwing accusations right and left. The outcome of the election depends on the number of votes cast. I believe that for once the unorganized men are sufficiently aroused to turn out in a concerted effort to beat the fraternity machine. We expect to win by a decisive vote, but we need the support of every student at the polls." Charles Anderson, T36, chairman of PSGL.

Political Campaign Approaches Climax As Balloting Nears
Identification Card or Written Statement From Dean Werner Is Required
Election Returns
By Kansan Political Writer
Election returns may be obtained tonight at the Kanan office after 8 o'clock. Telephone numbers are 2702K3 and 2701K3.
Today will be the climax to what has been, to many observers, the clearest political campaign in many years. Through the handbills and the debate, both parties have presented their programs squarely to the voters. All that remains now is for the voting to decide the issues. The party leaders are expecting a record vote, and urge that every student cast his ballot.
Chances for a split ticket this year are better than they have been for a long time. The more canny political observers believe that this election will be extremely close, and that in many of the offices, a very small number of votes will decide the election. Pachacamac will depend on its strong frontrunner within the PSGL leaders believe that the non-organized students are sufficiently aroused to their cause to more than make up for the fraternity vote.
Last night both parties continued their contacting of voters in a last minute effort to assure their side a victory. The election polls will open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. Identification cards must be in hand with the stamp of the bursar for this semester and all students who have his identification card he may get it at Dean Henry Werrner's office. If he has lost his identification card, he must submit a written statement from Dean Werrner that he is a qualified student voter.
