By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
We Receive a Compliment . . . a Biography of Burrows . . . Hellings Is Losing Her Grip . . . About the Mask.
We found the following fan mail in our contributor's basket yesterday with a little note added (and we can't imagine who wrote the note on it.) "Joe Holloway could shoot himself anywhere in the head and miss his brain by inches, says Devon Earl Lemster." The note read: "Why don't you put it in the paper, Joe?" Well here it is for the mutual enjoyment of all and sundry but we can't help wondering how Lemster knew when all of his brain power is concentrated on playing ball with the other big boys.
Has anyone besides the band noticed how the D.U.'s seem to have most of their fun? They all smell a cork and they all play and playing "Fairy" each other.
Once upon a time a little (?) lady (?) named Joseph Burrows was in the library from whence she was soon to scurry in search of her mate House-Party Harris. On this lovely day in March, said Josie did sally scurrying in search of said mate Freddie and saw his car parked on the campus apparently with her lover waiting within. She ran around the back of the car and opened the door on the side opposite the driver, at the same time yodeling a merry, "Hello Lambikibis!" Imagine her profound surprise upon finding that the car was almost like Freddie's and the driver a Hawaiian student.
We saw Jo Hellings drop her role of Mast. Asst Saturday in the library. Every time she coughed she popped a cough and we got a pretty-come who we got tired of counting.
You remember reading about those famous Harris house-parties we're sure so we'll narrate to you a bit of a narration of the narrative type about one of them. It appears that Freddy had one of them last week-end to which Jack Miller of the Lawrence Millers was to go. Everything was very hunky of the dory and he was to pick up his date about 2:30 and he himself away to Ottawa town . . . but he could find his date no matter how hard he looked for her. He disgusted-like, decided to look until five o'clock and then if he couldn't find her, he'd just go on alone . . . but she looked him. He found her at four, and here the story ends—or should this be the beginning?
Bettie Theton of K.K.G, and Elizabeth Shearer of Ttheta fame have been arguing the past month over whether Liz who by mistake had one of her sidelucs cut off, looks unbalanced or not. Thoen says that from the artistic viewpoint she does, but Shearer says it looks different and keeps her from being the Kappa type. Since Tholen said Li looked unbalanced, we'd suggest stronger language from the latter—that's practically an insult (to a Ttheta).
Well, the Sigma Chi's had their little Mask Friday night and thereby hangs a tale—in fact thereby hang several of them. The lads were serrading the Kappa's with sweet and lovely tunes and the nasty Phi Gam's produced a large bell fitted to it with all their might. Naturally the Chi's had to give up, especially when the boys shouted "Tallybo" at them several times, because they thought that must be Guerynice and they knew that nothing could stop him. Anyway, after they left, the Phi Gam's went down and serrated the girls themselves—with Theta songs. The next day, Jack Richard Gordon came in and gave him merry hell for ringing and gave him merry hell for ringing and shouting—and George didn't do it!

Committee Plans University Peace Strike for April 12
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1935
Movement Resulting From Signatures for Orderly Demonstration Against War
Tentative plans are being made by the K.U. Student Strike for Peace committee, to hold a peace strike on the campus April 12, as is being planned for universities all over the United States. The strike will be held after the Honors Convection, and will last for an hour, from 11 to 12 o'clock.

The committee believes that if the University officials let out school for hobo day, they should consider such an action in connection with the peace
The committee wishes to stress that this will be an orderly demonstration led by competent persons. The movement is dedicated to an earnest endeavor to interest all students in the peace movement. It is the aim of this group to point out to the leaders of the nation, that if such things happen in colleges all over the country, that the college men and women have definitely aligned themselves against these factors in American life that are incentives to war.

Platforms of Two Political Groups Will Be Discussed
If Plans Go Through, Leaders Will Argue It Out Next Tuesday in Auditorium
The PSGL party, through Charles Anderson, president, challenged the Pachacamac party, represented by Lloyd Metzler, president, and Gumar Mykland, president of the Men's Student Council, to a debate on their respective party platforms.
If the challenge is accepted, the debate will take place next Tuesday, at 8:20 p.m. in the University auditorium. Invitations will be send Chancellor E. H. Lindley, Prof. Werner, and Dean Husband.
The challenge contemplated having three contenders on either team with Lyman Field, Logan Lane, and Kenneth Borne presenting the PSGL arguments and Lloyd Metzler, Gunnar Mykland, and Phil Bramwell weaving the Pachacamac party. Mr Anderson would only suggested contestants, and any other members of the Pachacamac party will be acceptable.
Charles Anderson stated to the Kansan that "in past years the political organizations on Mount Oread have carried on a discussion of the relative worth of their programs through the distribution on the campus of bold-feed, yellow sheets, containing personal attacks and lies by both prom<sub>2</sub>, effective to produce bias because of the fact that at the time only one side was presented." The sheets were scattered all over the campus and then tried to cover them and finally biased, gave the publications little more than a glance. They were very costly to political supporters and entirely unnecessary.
"To remedy this annual evil," declared Mr. Anderson, "the Progressive Student Government League proposes that the two major political organizations meet in an open debate, to present formal discussion of the program of each group, that University students may hear the proposals of each side and judge for themselves which program they wish to support."
In concluding his statement, Mr. Anderson added, "this is neither a political gesture nor a personal challenge, but a challenge to the opposition party to defend its program, side by side with the PSGL program, that University students may judge which group they wish to support. We believe this challenge will be accepted if opposition leaders sincerely believe their program compares favorably with that of the PSGL."
