UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
VOLUME XXXII
--some people might think it pretty poor stuff to start out at the very first panning your own paper but this is pretty good—and it has a little touch of the sororities too. In the society column of the Kansan a few days ago appeared this little bit in connection with a tea being given by the Delta Zeta. "This is the second of a series of monthly teas which the sorority is giving to other sorority and unorganized women." Doubtless there is something in what they say. First, they're too well organized, and now they're unorganized.

We Expose the Kansan . . . Why Must Madamoiselle's lacks Bag So Much . . . Stoland Does a Zud . . . The Women's Pan-hel Explained.
A glance at a few of the fair ones who attended the Sigma Chi College School Masque moves us to remark that girls deceived in shorts or slacks are just a little less attractive than a man would be deceived in a hood shirt and a polo mallet.
Herewith is unfolded the tale of how little Ruthie Stolls tried and failed. At some time or other all of us must make our nobile effort and fall—and that's just what Ruthie did. She was playing Tarzana and swinging on the vines on the east side of the journalism building—much fun was being had even though it wasn't true Pi Phi conduct (or was it?) Suddenly Ruthie and about 20 feet of the vine took a flyer and made what availors call a one-point landing—only in aviation it means landing on the nose and that's not where Ruthie landed. We understand she received no end of applause and took three curtain calls.
A group of the Thetas have recently had their eye-lashes dyed so that they can now scare grown-ups as well as babies.

We hear by way of Jeff Sheffer that the Women's Pan-Hel party is to be something very new and different. A lad approached him and after telling him that he'd received a stag bid to the affair, wanted to know what kind of a party it was. He'd been up here for a couple of years but had never had the honor question mark before and wondered who was what and why was where. He really thought he had Jiggs ketched because that worthy didn't know what sort of a brawl it was either, but Jiggs came through in fine style. He probably informed me. He promptly that it was the reverse of the Men's Pan-Hel. The girls sent bids to their fellows and borrowed their clothes on the sid, and the fellows accepted the dates and dressed as co-eds. Some people will believe anything though.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 1935
We used to think that the fellows who cared around eight or ten bottles of pale in their tumves were pretty good men, but our views have changed. Does anyone know who the fellow is that went in the Jayhawk Cafe the other night and ordered an ore-angrone with a shot of root-beer in it?
We saw Daisy Hoffman and a couple of her sisters riding up the Hill other day with Buddy the Beta canine in the rumble seat. Wonder what hap-pened to the fellows? Sort of remindes us of the Trolls in the forest, trumped in the woods. It's about a ten-year-old story but the tramp hamn't been seen since anyway.

PSGL Conducts Straw Ballot for Candidates
Party Ticket Will Be Made Up From Choices of Members
The Progressive Student Government League conducted a preferential straw ballot among its supporters yesterday to discover what candidates to run for the respective offices in the Men's election April 4. About 1860 ballots were distributed, about half being given to supporters and members.
Ballots were distributed Friday night by P.S.G.L. workers to students who in recent weeks have pledged support to the program of this new party. One ballot consisted only of class offices. The other listed all the offices of the Men's Student Council, in addition to the office of the director and the student directory manager. On the first ballot four Junior prom managers were to be selected.
In addition, the league included as an aid for the vote a list of members and supporters who were chosen a few weeks past in a P.S.G.L meeting as possible nominees on the P.S.G.L ticket, which would be the future for the council election.
The letter instructed the student not to confine the marking of their straw ballot to the suggested names, but to write the names of all persons capable in their belief of leading a progressive student program.
Officers of the P.S.G.L. announced that a complete list of nominees for the various school representatives will be composed of the results of this straw vote are known.
Included in the material with the balletis was a statement of the PSGL program, the three main sections of which are the establishment of open student forums and lecture series, the establishment of a student court, and the adoption of a direct primary election.
It was urged that suggestions for a better student program be submitted along with the straw vote.

The World Purview Conducted by Prof. F. E. Melyin THEME OF NEWS
... LEAGUE MAY BE CALLED IN
... CRUX LIES IN UNILATERAL
VIOLATION OF TREATIES
Last week was indeed a "scrapping" week.
When in August, 1914, a German Imperial Chancellor petulantly said a solemn treaty a "scrap of paper", a shocked word retaliated—and sorrowed.
On March 18, 1935, another German Realm Leader scrapped a yet more solitary treaty—and all nill week *x* dislunion. The old boy has been protesting—and boldering.
A British protest was "mild"-suggestive of the way Sir John Simon let-down Secretary Simson in his effort to stop Japan's violation of multilateral pacts in the Manchukuo crisis. Indeed, it was too "mild" for Britain's associates in the security-pact effort which takes Simon today to Berlin. Hence the three-power meeting yesterday at Paris, with yet another co-operation on Lake Baikal. At 11. At Berlin the British protest was received with only a different degree of contempt than were the more formal protest notes of France and Italy.
League May Step in
A consequence has been the calling of a special League council meeting—since German membership holds until November 2015. The coordination of League engagement engagements.
If time remains—before dinner time—after considering the charge against Germany, perhaps the Council will take over evangelism complaints against Italy.
Any chance a of Geneva indictment seems not to worry the Germans. German mightiness is so busy now with movie-air raids, fundraising, etc., to prevent the Germans from being aware Perhaps the internal problem is Hitler's main concern, anyhow.

University Prospect Makes Excellent Showing in Tourney
Ralph Miller, Chanute high school's star basketball forward, who scored 43 points in two games in the state high basketball tourney in Topeka, will probably attend the University after his graduation from high school.
Miller, who is 15 years of age, was a wizard as a free throw man during the tournament games. His sureness at the free throw line has accounted for his team's success this season. He began training at age 26. At age five of his height, he is 6 ft 2 in.
Holder Muller, his father, was a member of the Jayhawk track team in 1915-16, 17, his specialty being the high jump. Howard Miller, Ralph's uncle, played basketball at the University in 1919-20.
Miller is a sophomore in the Chanute high school.

Four Teams Share First Place Honor In Debaters' Meet
Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Manhattan, Each Win Four and Lose One
Honors in the Missouri Valley debate tournament this weekend sponsored by the University were divided among four teams.
Results were announced at a luncheon Saturday noon in the Union building, attended by 50 contestants and coaches. Debaters from 12 schools took part in the tournament; Iowa State, Kentucky, Kansas, Louisiana,lege, Kansas, Washington University, Texas, Missouri, Colorado, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Iowa.
Debaters representing the Universities of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Kansas State College shared first place, each team winning four contests and losing one. Missouri, South Dakota, and Washington University, St. Louis, split second place into three parts, winning three contests and losing two apiece.
Next year the Missouri Valley Forensic Meet will be at the University of Oklahoma at NORMAN. South Dakota was host to the league last year, when Texas won first place. At that tournament, Lyman Field, c'35, took first in both the craterological and extemporaneous speaking contests for Kansas.
Resolutions were adopted recommending the consolidation of the Missouri Valley Oratorical Association, which has existed for the past 17 years, with the Missouri Valley Debating League, of more recent organization. The seven members of the oratorical league are included in the 12 of the debating league. In anticipation of the consolidation before next year, arrangements were made for awarding of cups to the winning debate teams and medals for winners of the extemporaneous speaking contests. This is made possible by a reduction in amount of cash prizes in the oratorical contests.
Knight, Moore, Landes and Several Students Go to Wichita Convention
Geologists Attend Meeting
G. L. Knight, assistant professor of Geology, Dr R.C. Moore, state geologist, and Prof. K. K. Landes, assistant state geologist, attended the convention of the Association of Petroleum Geologists, the largest group of its kind in the world, in Wichita, March 21, 22, and 23.
Today Dr. Moore conducts a group of the members of the Association of Petroleum Geologists on a field trip through southeastern Kansas.
"A Calcareous Alga in the Upper Pennsylvanian of Kansas" was the subject of an address by H. H. Hawkins, e'38 N. D. Newell, of the Geology Survey, talked on the subject of "The Stratigraphy of the Douglas Group in Kansas" M K. Elias, geologist of the Unit Research Center about "The Probable Depth of Deposition of the Big Blue Sediment in Kansas"
One of the most important addresses of the meeting was given by Dr. Moore on "Late Paleozoic Movements of the Earth's Crust." The speaker attempted to prove that a detailed study of Kansas rock formations is a factor in determinations ofologic dates and moving movements in other regions of the earth.
A paper concerning the "Classification of Bryonia" was read by Dr. Moore to the Society of Economic Paleontology and the Association of Petroleum Geologists.
Other University students who attended the sessions of the geologists in Wichita were James Brazil, c36, and R. P. Keron, *e*keron.
