The Sig Ep's Vote for Our Hank
... Say It isn't So Isabelle . . .
A Prof. Comes Through . . . A
One-Act Play. "The Devoted"
We really had no idea when we started our Miller W. or W, contest that same would turn into an expos (like in Daily Kansan) but we feel that in fairness to our readers we must tell the true reason for the shaving of Hank's moustache. Last summer, the little man who is busy every day met a girl with 100% enraptured with her, in fact, like looked like at first sight. Well last week Hank went to the City one afternoon just to while away the hours before going to work at the Pla-Ma and who should he run into but his flame of last summer. She was driving a nice new car—which fact probably made him remember his love for even more strongly—and our hero hurriedly to argue her into indulging in a wye spot of conversation. Finally he succeeded in making her halt the car and what did she greet him with but, "Well, I thought it was you, Henry, but you know everyone looks the same with a moustache." We understand that the above remark took a little wind out of Hemeryn's sales and he decided to part with his strainer and seems to have grown as mature. The damsage may be remedied though since the Sig Ep's held a special Monday day and voted unanimously for a bigger and better moustache for our Henry . . . a sort of Handlare Hank effect you know.
Can you imagine how Isabella Perry must have felt when she discovered that her book report for one of Prof. Lauren's classes was to be "Life of a Low-Brew?"
♦ ♦ ♦
Heard of a little case of mistaken identity which occurred last week, Paul Trees at the Sig Alph house needed a car and borrowed one from Al Moore. Apparently the car was to be used for a trip to town to soa parked up and went to town in it, parked it, and went about his business. His affairs of state finished, he again mounted his machine, went back to the house, and returned the car to its owner with profuse thanks et cetera. Imagine Al's surprise when the local constables gave him a ring and decided that he had swiped a blue Buick from some poor unsuspecting soul downtown and that he was a nasty boy. Things were finally cleared up and the answer was that Paul had got into the wrong car downtown and brought it back to the house, leaving Al's parked for the next fellow who needed one.
It's a funny thing, but professors always seem to be more full of wiscrex in the spring . . . or so it seems this year anyway. We indulged in a stretch the other day just as our instructor had finished reading a paper. Said she, "Do you have a question?" Said we, "No, just stretching." Said she no. 2, "Well, the doctor says it's good for you." The End.
The time has come to unfold to you a tale of true devotion . . . sometimes known as "chumping off" . . . but of course that's only in the very vulgarist of the vernacular. Every night at 8:15, them as stays up so late as that may see a young swain, not swine, lingering under a window of the student hospital. Shortly thereafter, a note will be perceived fluttering down from said window, which the lad will retrieve and read carefully. Next, he departs from the scene but don't go home yet because he'll be back. Back he comes, just as ordered, ties a package to a piece of string which has been lowered from the window in the interim (hospital) and the string is drawn back up into the bulldit. Rumor has it that the package usually contains a few candy bars . . . a sort of sweets from the nuts to the sweet.
We hear that Prof. Geltch was a little bдuble about having his picture taken the other day . . . he didn't know it was for the Jayhawk and thought perhaps someone had "smelled a rat."
Mock Trial Ends Tomorrow
The case of J. L. Lemm vs. Seymour Oppen will be in final session in the School of Law court today at 2:30, with R. M. Davis, professor of law, as judge, Judge Davis has ruled that only those students who have attended the first three sessions of this case may receive credit for the final session.

An unusual step in the history of student government was taken when the Minnesota all-university council voted recently to demand that the regents extend the powers of student government or abolish them altogether.
Minnesota Student Council Demands Power Or Abolishment
After a two hour attack upon the university administration for strangulation of student rights, it was decided to send the president of the council and two members appointed by him to go before the board of regents and place before it the following alternatives: That the all-university council be given the powers of the senate committee on student affairs; that student members on the senate committee on student affairs be equal to that of the administration representatives and that they be elected by the general student body; that, if the regents refuse the two above alternatives, they consent to an election of the student body on an amendment to abolish the council.
At the time the resolution for the purpose of polling the student body on an amendment for abolishment of student government was presented, Earl Larson, council president, said he had heard the all-university council should take action themselves because they did not have enough powers, the meetings were held too infrequently, and there was no possibility of achieving any power.

Student Speakers Explain Programs Of Both Parties
Few Votes Gained or Lost in Hot Discussions of Problems of Government
By Kansan Political Writer
To the unbiased spectator, it was apparent that no votes were won or lost at last night's debate on the policies of the Progressive Student Government League and the Pachacamayc parties. Anyone sitting in judgment of the merits of the two sides, would have had difficulty in giving a fair decision to either party. To the group of about 750 interested spectators, the debate developed into an extremely educational discussion of the platforms.
The realization that the campaign is to be a battle of issues and not of personalities, is apparent from the able way in which all six speakers presented their views on the interest of both men and women speakers in the audience, made it apparent that the debate was a decided success. The three speakers who presented the PSGL platform are all candidates for office, while two of the Pacachuacan speakers are present officers and the office is dominated for the office of president.
"Proportional representation is the top rung of the ladder," Logan Lane, 136, candidate for treasurer of M.S.C. on the PSGL ticket, declared in his opening speech. This topic of proportional representation was the only one on which Lane and the first speaker for the Pachacamac, Norbert Anschuetz, candidate for president of the Men's Student Council, clashed. Anschuetz maintained that this was the complete solution for the voting problem, whereas Lane declared it was merely a partial solution resting on a direct primary which would insure the election of the popular candidates.
PSGL Candidate Begins Debate Anchuchze began the debate for the Pachamachas by explaining the platform which he supported. He listed as the essential factors of a flourishing economy: (1) the level of education; (2) the election of experienced men in the council, and the hardy co-operation of the students and faculty.
The second speaker for the PSGL, Kenneth Born, T36, compared the Pachacama party and its function to the Tammany Hall "ring" in New York City. Born, in discussing the National Student Federation of America, declared that the M.S.C. of last year had done nothing to promote important problems such as peace action and the like but instead had devoted their time to the fight against nationalization which he had never heard of. Lloyd Metzler, b35, president of the Pachacama party, opened the second speech for his organization with this statement, "I am very sorry that Mr.Born has not had enough experience in student government to understand the importance or the standing of the N.S.F.A. It has in the past and will continue to hold a place of major importance in the affairs of the governing bodies of the greatest universities in this country." His discussion was aimed mostly at the plank of the P.S.G.L. that calls for a non-partisan committee composed of five members from each group to handle this same job. The student faculty co-operation and pointed out the efforts already taken by Pachacama to foster this spirit.
Field Offers Constructive Proposals
Lyman Field, c36, the third speaker for the PSGL and candidate for president of the Men's Student Council, proposed the following changes in student government: the sponsoring of regular discussion forums and not form* ^d<sub>ab:</sub>bates; the fostering of a series of o<sub>s</sub>c<sub>v</sub> lectures; the offering of special lectures by professors of the University, whereby students may learn something of courses which they will never be able to take in college.
Gummar Mykland, c35, attacked Logan Lane's explanation of the proportional representation system. **set** the opposition party was declared that the opposing party had
