Pachacamacs Ask For More Facts Regarding Debate
Two Speakers Desired by Leaders of Rising Sun Party Instead of Three
The Pacheacheam party has not yet decided whether they will accept the challenge to debate on party platforms issued by the Progressive Student Government League last night, accorded the president of the Men's Student Council.
"We would like to know in a more concrete manner what the PSGL leaders want to debate about," Mykland said. "If it is just to be a joke or a mud slinging affair, I am not interested in it, but if they want us to defend the actions of the Council during the past year, I am ready to do that. If it is

Tales From a Speech Class . . and They're Not So Bad . . Haughey Strives for Lace Curtains.
Prof. Buehier's speech class apparently furnishes humor enough for every other department on the Hill to judge from the following little anecdotes. Dick Sklar was giving a speech in which the imagination was to be used exclusively—that is, for the speaker to put himself into another environment, character, etc., and to speak accordingly, as if he were playing a game. "It was born in a manure pile." Look out, reader, you might be wrong—he was talking like a Bv!
Then one young lady named Stark, we understand that she's the best speaker of the whole outfit by the way, held forth thus-like one day. She was speaking on the merits of a town and she chose Kansas City Suit. She went on to add three things: its gangsters and Lyman Field. I don't know whether the gangsters drove Lyman to his career as an orator, or whether Lyman's orating drove the gangsters to their life of crime." We hear that after this statement there was a lengthy pause while the whole class inhaled in a little vulgar clapping of
These spring days have caused any number of things to happen to us poor studious ones but the best so far has happened to Gene Haughey. Someone sent him some samples of garden seed to sell. If he sells so many packages of seeds, he can take his choice of the list of prizes which includes handy little things such as a violin, sets of lace curtains, or a home bar set. Sounds like just the thing to help one get a college education doesn't it?
Wonder if the girls at Corbin Hall still have their little bucket into which they must drop coins every time they swear They used to have a 1st posted which contained the amount of cash required to pay for them. What could you say for a dollar, Joan?
We understand that some of our local shots were helping the gardeners in their landscape projects the other day. Metzel, Mykland, and Rice were standing in front of Ad. talking over the events of the week and stuff, and some wit yelled, "Hey, you politicians get off the grass!" Rice answered back, "We're just fertilizer." How true that probably is.
Heard someone say yesterday . " . . . some of the follows in the P.G.L. Lyman Field, and some other Betts" . . . . .
Sorry to mention the Sigma Chi party again but this is a fair one. You know all the boys and girlies at the Mask really wear masks for a little white汁 so nobody will be made out alar. Well, Polly Strandrum was sitting next to a fellow-hide behind and she punched him on the knee and said, "Who is this?" Answered the culprit, "Chancellor Lindley." Thereupon, Polly came back with a few choice wise ones to discover later that it was Proe. Crafton.

New York Students Defeat "Loyalty Oath" Nunan-Davant Bill
The pressure of united action among New York state students has brought about the death of the Nunavant-Denny bill prescribing "loyalty oils" for students entering New York colleges. After the bill had been passed by the governor, a federal public education voted 8 to 5 against reporting it to the assembly.
In a previous vote of the committee taken before the mass protest of students in Albany, March 7, the score was 6 to 4 in favor of the bill which was not reported at that time because a majority of the committee is necessary. The three assemblymen absent from the committee meeting at that time were Andrew D. Fite, ball in the court and Emerson D. Fite, Vassar College professor, who had previously voted in favor of the measure, took a stand against the bill.
Arguing that the Nunan bill was a direct threat to academic liberty and the right of students to speak and act on social issues, students from every county in the state met in Albany on March 7, and were heard by the committee. More than 8000 signatures attached to petitions demanding the abandonment of the measure were presented at that time after a three day drive promoted by the state committee against the Nunan bill.

Joseph W. Zellner Presents Famous Sketches Tonight
Characterizations Inlude Well Known Literary and Historical Figures
"Unique entertainment presented with the smoothness and precision of finished showmanship," is the reputation of Joseph W. Zellner's impersonations, dramatic attraction to be held in Fraser theater tonight at 8 o'clock.
Zellner's characterizations are not limited to dramatic literature, as he draws many of his figures from history: Socrates; Clemenceau, the French "Tiger"; Lincoln; Mark Twain; the famous generals, U. S. Grant and Robert E. Lee; and Theodore Roosevelt. He impersonates several Bible characters, including Moses, Peter, and Judas. Two well known comic characters, Huckleberry Finn and Abe Martin, also are portrayed. From classic dramatic literature Zellner takes such figures as King Lear and Shylock.
All Zellner's impersonations are presented in full costume and make-up. Generally he requires about 30 seconds to make changes, but some are made in as little as six to eight seconds. An unusual feature of his performance is the automatic lighting system, which is so regulated that, once the performance begins, the actor must time every movement exactly.
The program tonight is being brought to the University by the extension department. Robert Gard, of that department, points out that, as Zellner's performance is to be given in Fraser theater, his opportunity for an artistic performance is greatly enhanced. V. L Granville, who presented a similar program here recently, was handcapped by the host and also hardly the best setting for such work. Fraser theater, on the other hand, is well suited for this type of performance.
Joseph W. Zellner is highly reputed as a character actor, and the extension department believes the performance tonight will justify his reputation. Tickets are 25 cents, and may be purchased before the performance in Fresher hall at time today in the basement of Green Hall. No reservations will be made.

New Ballot for M. S.C.
Election Near Completion
Maddox Assisting Council With Newly Adopted Vote Plan
A ballot is being designed by Prof. W. R. Maddox, instructor of political science, and members of the Men's Student Council election board for the forthcoming Council election to be held Thursday. April 4.
The ballot will embody the principle of the true Hare system of proportional representation and will bring about a revolutionary change in the voting methods used in men's elections. It will be important that the ballot lot used in the recent W.S.G. election
In order that a greater number of students on the Hill may be afforded a chance to have a greater voice in the election of candidates, the ballots will be used only for the holder, not with X's as previously. All ballots marked with X's will not be counted. By counting second, third, and, if necessary, fourth choices for an office under this new system, a fairer and more accurate selection of new office holders will be effected. The minority party will be better represented under this scheme.
Professor Maddox will conduct an election school Thursday evening in the book-exchange room in Memorial Union. All persons who are interested are invited to attend, and all groups that wish to participate in forthcoming election are urged to attend.
The offices to be filled in the coming election are president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer of the Men's Student Council; the presidents and treasurers of the three upper classes; council representatives for each of the seven schools, three council representatives from the School of Engineering and Management; a senior college officer manager; and a representative for the Athletic Board.

Different Method Calls for Rushees To Stay at Corbin
Two Extra Days of Teas Which May Be Attended by Anyone Added to Schedule
The plan provides for two days of teas, at which time all rushees may visit any house with or without an invitation from the group. The third day is one of silence when date cards are sent by each group to those rushees in whom they are definitely interested. The date cards, with a rushing fee, are returned by a stated time on that day to the office of the Dean of Women.
An entirely new method of rushing has been proposed by a judicial committee which was appointed by Dean Agnes Husband last fall to consider the sorority's responsibility in the social life of the campus and its possible contribution toward a more democratic spirit. The proposed plan was presented yesterday afternoon to representatives of the different houses. The individual sororities will vote upon the plan and their decisions must be returned to the Dean of Women's office by Friday noon.
Two days of rushing follow in which groups will entertain with a certain number of parties and with the silence period and pledging carried out as best.
All rushees shall be housed in Corbin Hall during the fall rushing period.
Rushing Fee Assessed
dall during the fall rushing period.
A rushing fee of not less than $5.00
and not more than $10.00 will be
assessed each rushee when accepting
dates in the second part of rushing,
this fee to be met turned over to the
organization of which the Rushee
becomes a pledge, to be applied toward
her pledge fee. In the event a Rushee
does not pledge, this fee will be divided
 among the hostess groups in helping
to defray rush expenses.
The acceptance of the new rushing rules include a pledge of honor as to the adherence of each group and that significant penalties be provided and inflicted by Pan Hellenic when such rules and pledges are broken.
Ouotas Are Established
The maximum number of members in any fraternity shall be 45.
The Committee recommends the adoption of the following "quota system" to be placed in the hands of the Dean of Women to administer as a possible solution to the present, inequality in group membership;
The pledge group of any sorority may be the difference between this number and the number of actives returning that fall. If, however, this restricts the pledge quota of any group to less than 15, such groups shall be allowed a maximum of 15 for the year. Any special cases or deviations from the above rules shall be reviewed by a committee appointed by the Dean of Women and the committee's decision shall stand.
The Committee feels that Pan Helenic should so organize itself that it will be able to accept a greater responsibility for an effective administration of sorority affairs and their proper participation in the campus life and that it should be more actively interested in promoting it.
The Committee also recommends
Adviser is Provided
That Pan Hellenic select from a list nominated by its Judiciary Committee a member of the faculty, other than the Dean of Women, who will attend all meetings and act as adviser to that group; such an adviser not to be a member of a sorority existing with the university is understood that the Dean of Women is consulted on all major questions concerning this group.
That Pan Hellenic shall set up immediately within its organization a committee to receive the following recommendations concerning rushing and to provide for their organization and administration. It is further recommended that to this Pan Hellenic committee there be elected one member of this special committee, in order that the experience of this committee's study and discussion may be passed on to the new group.
