A Couple of Political Wise-Crax
... Burrows Will Tell You
Where to Go for a Steak Fry
... A Pome by Joycette Kil
mcruss.
Our annual siege of politics is really bringing on a new crop of remarks of one sort or another—mostly another it seems. Credit must be given Charlotte Gelbwil for the best crack so far—and she probably wasn't far wrong in her guess either. To a friend she ropped the question the other day, "What is this Pachaamacac, a tribe of Indians?"
Have you heard the remarkable? (tale of one Tony Goss who is labeled "The Union Fountain H-englishman") The other day he was reciting poetry to one of the fairer ones and by the One he got to "The Face on the Bar Room Flush" and had to and ask him to quiet down just a little—he was disturbing the whole place. (Houses haunted, 2ce per room) Adv.
After about twenty-five "Now you go up to that corner and then turn right" directions, Josephine proudly pointed and there was the nice secluded spot—Brown's Grove! Freddy says they drove only ten or fifteen miles to get there and that any other of the four could have got there in five minutes. Anyway, they had their little steak fry and then came the pay off. The meal had been eaten and—well you know what we mean, and suddenly up jumped Kroh with a great big "I know what let's do—let's play "Truth and Consequences". Oh well, so it goes.
Naturally this spring weather brings many joyous thoughts of stek fries—and some people really take steaks and stuff and things. Jo Burrows, Freddy Harris, Shirley Kroh, and Bob Jones were desirous of partaking in a small fry the other day but the lads could think of no good spot in which to fry, etc. Finally Burrows decided that she knew just the spot, she couldn't tell them exactly where it was but she knew the way out there—nice—secluded and all the usual stuff know, so out they started.

Maddox Says Primary No Value is Proportional Representation Plan
The workings and advantages of the proportional representation system of elections were explained to a group of representatives of the Pachacamacs and the PSGL last night by W. R. Maddox instructor in the department of political science. The meeting, in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building took the form of a school for elector workers.
Professor Maddox explained that in the election next week, in the contests for college and engineering representatives, at least 90 per cent of the voters would elect some candidate for whom they had expressed a preference. Mr. Maddox further said, "The direct primary is of absolutely no value with the proportional representation system."
Under this system the voter, by expressing choices, not only votes for his party's candidate but by the same preference, votes for those of his party's candidates whom he most favors, by giving them the highest choice. The functions of both a primary ballot and a general ballot by voting one ballot.
This system is the best yet devised for eliminating conditions wherein a large minority may go unrepresented. Each group in the contest is therefore enabled to elect a number of candidate proportional to its voting strength. The voters, thus, cannot be elected, one of his other choices will help elect a man of his preference.
As in other elections, half of the list of candidates will be printed in alphabetical order and the other half in re-printing order, to provide for a fair rotation of names.
Warren Plaskett, c'35, in charge of the meeting, ask for lists of representatives from both parties to count ballots on the night of the elections.
Waring Has Flowery Phrases for Winners Of Beauty Contest
Pictures of the 15 junior beauty contestants were mailed to Fred Waring, popular band leader, Monday morning with the request that he judge the five most beautiful, whose pictures will appear in the next issue of the Jlayhawker magazine.
A single distinguishing letter of the alphabet was placed on the back of each picture, two no pictures bearing the same identification. No names were attached.
Avalanche of beauty almost smothered me, but after recovering have made the following decision which I timely submit: first place, G as in gorgeous, glowing good looks second place, J as in just; just about the same as G, and just missed first third place, F as in fragrance, fair. Ford drivers beware; fourth place, B as in beauty bursting with brilliance; and fifth place, A as in delicious delighty. I appreciate the honor of helping to decide such a momentous issue for the Jayhawker and old old University of Kansas.
Yesterday morning Fred Harris Jr. editor-in-chief of the Jaiyawker, received the following telegram from Mr. Waring:
Dear Mr. Harris:
Cordially yours.
Fred Waring.
Negro Students to Give Three Plays April 26-27
One Is Written by Hazel Washington, a Student Here
Three one-act negro plays will be given at F爵剧 Theater April 26 and 27. The entire casts will be composed of negro students of the University.
One of the plays was written by a nzgro student, Miss Hazel Washington, e35. This is the first instance in the history of the school that a play written by a student has been presented during regular school year.
The theme of the play concerns the question of whether or not education in itself will raise the negro to a place of social equality with the white race.
Miss Washington answers the question in the negative, by showing that only when the negro race understands will it be understood by the white race.
Eugene O'Nell's one-act play "Dreamy
Alloy" one of the plays to be given.
It is a story of a nego who, baving
committed murder, must decide
whether to make his escape or to remain with his dying grandmother and be caught. Mr. O'Nell gives the negro the strength of character to stay with his grandmother even though it means capture and possibly death.
The only comedy to be given will be one written by Ridley Torrence. It is fantastic comedy built around the character of Madison Sparton, who is a very likeable, but lazy neuros, whose chief characteristic is self-publishing with a wolf by practicing his ideal ideas.
Between each of the acts interludes or various natures will be presented by nego students of the University.

Science Meetings Opened With Talk By Dr.R.H.Major
A. E. Douglass of Arizona Will Speak Tonight on Tree Rings and Climate
Dr. Raphal H. Major, professor of medicine at Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City, Kan., lectured last night to a near capacity audience in Fraser theater on "Glimpse of Germany." The lecture, accompanied by lantern slides and motion pictures, opened the Kansas Academy of Science meetings.
Dr. Major stressed the fact that while there have been many changes in Germany of late, the life of the people goes on as it always has and the same amusements are enjoyed. He said that the Germans through the press and movies are getting quite as bad a picture of us with our gangsters, strikes, and kidnappings as we have of their armies and militaristic preparations.
The amusements of the German peo
ple are more simple than ours. They
have fewer cars, bridge games, and go
to fewer movies than we do. A child
under 18 is forbidden by law to attend
movies. They love parades and music
in Munich, the capital of Bavaria,
an opera is sung every night.
Dr. Major explained the youth movement that its main purpose was to get the various sections of Germany acquainted each other in order to be the equals.
The Germans are as religious as ever according to Dr. Major. However, Hitler told the priests that they belonged in the pulpit and not in the reckstrait.
The speaker showed pictures of Munich, Heidelberg, Odermangern, and many other places. He also showed paints and various other intericting features.
Dr. A. E. Douglass, director of the Steward Observatory and Tree Ring Laboratories at the University of Arizona, will lecture tonight in connection with the Academy of Science in Fraser theater at 8:15 o'clock. His subject will be "Tree Ringing" and Climate of the Ancient Civilizations of the Southwest." The lecture will be illustrated with motion pictures and lantern slides.
Dr. Douglas is an authority on tree rings in relation to climate and his lecture should prove interesting to the audience. No admission will be charged.
Mueller Speaks in Topeka
Exchange Scholar Discusses Hitler's Policy Before Junior C. of C.
Dr. Herbert Mueller, German exchange student, spoke before the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Topека Wednesday. In the audience was Rabbie Erihim Rosenzewski, of the Temple Beth Sholom. During the open forum period following Dr. Mueller's talk the Rabbi demanded to know if Hitler had carried out the several points in his program which he had started with.
Dr. Muschler answered that conditions in Germany, had changed materially since Hitler came into power and that his program came been modified and revamped to meet those changes. He indicated that present conditions did not warrant continuation of Hitler's original program.
"The men in governmental power in Germany right now, including Hitler, were in the front line trenches during the World war and they don't plan to bring about another such catastrophe. They know more about war and its terrible consequence than they talk about its danger. Hitler has chosen the drastic policy of re-arming Germany because the treaty of Versailles was the 'most unjust treaty ever written'. Dr. Mueller stated. He said that the German dictator had taken the forceful step of re-armament so as to bring to the attention of the people of Germany who was under oppressive burdens through the original treaty.

Students to Hear Points Of Two Political Parties
Rising Sun Group Accepts Challenge of PSGL to Debate
to Debate
with the acceptance of the Pachacampe party, through Lloyd Metzler, president, of the challenge issued by the Progressive Student Government and supported by a coalition, to hear both political parties present their platforms side by side.
In previous years, verbal campaigns have degenerated into mud-slinging battles on the part of both parties. In the coming debate, the participants are pledged to adultism in matters of public platforms in order to make the debate informative.
In accepting the challenge, Metzler made the following statement: "We are very happy to accept our opponents' invitation to debate on the respective merits of the two parties. We hope that the chance thus afforded us to 'stand on our record' will be of investible service to the student body in clarifying the issues of the present amalgam."
Aim to Sunscre Handbills
"Under the proposed plan of debate, we agree to give each party thirty minutes for opening speeches, and ten minutes in rebuttal, the time being divided among as many speakers as side desires." Signed: Gumar Mykland president of the Men's Student Council, Moedt Meidner, president of Fachsamea.
As the challenges, the leaders of FSGL have hoped to do away with the handbills which they claim, are unfair and accomplish little. As the challenged, the Pacchamacens will have the right to choose their own "weapons."
As the parties have lined up platforms which do not conflict, this year's race will be a battle of candidates as they vie for the nomination indicates that the race should be close.
Since this debate is to be an informative one, and both sides are presenting programs of interest to all students, both men and women should attend. It is an effort to receive and boosting of the entire student body.
Pachacamac More Fraternity Men
The Pachacamac team is made up of 18 men belonging to organized houses, both social and professional, and 14 non-fraternity men. The PSGL team is made up of 13 fraternity men, and 20 non-fraternity men.
Since the class officers and dance managers are ex-officio members of the Men's Student Council, the actual student government is controlled by members of the council, proper. The respective tickets show the Pachacamaca with 8 non-fraternity men out of 22 officers and the PSGL with 12 non-fraternity men and 10 fraternity men out of the 22 officers.
One of four of the top officers on the Pacachasmac ticket is non-fraternity, while the PSGL has two fraternity and two non-affiliated candidates.
The Pachacamas will be represented by Gunnar Mykland and Lloyd Metzler at the debate. In commenting on the acceptance of the debate challenge by the Rising Sun party, Charles Anders, 136, chairman of the PSGL said: "We are plea that Pachacama has finally accepted our challenge."
