"B" Championship Goes to Jayhawk Basketeers, 26 to 8
Kappa Sig's Win First Leg of Intramural Contest From Sig Ep Team
The Jayhawk "B" team won the final game of the tournament last night over-welcoming the Rock Chalk 52-18 in a ragged, hard-fought contest. The Kappa Sigma "A" team won the first leg of the three game series for the team that defeated the team in defeating the Sig Ep's 30 to 20 in a fast-played game.
The Jayhawks led at the half 14 to 5 due languely to Devlin's four long shots. Devlin, the Jayhawker guard grabbed the scores honors with a total of 9 points. Dickey led the Jayhawks' attack the last half with 6 points.
The Rock Chalk quintet was forced to finish the game with three men, as the losers' two guards were put out of the game for excessive fouling.
Kappa Sigma lead at the half time 14-10. They pulled away early in the second half, but the Sig Ep quintet caught up to 20-19 and brought the count up to 20-19.
The Kappa Sig's called time out and organized their forces to breeze through

We wealed you — the comedy's good . . . Peggy Ann heads the Journal-World again . . . Werner knows but won't tell.
Well, the musical comedy took a rather unexpected turn for the muchly better Tuesday night and it promises to be the best of appeal of the sort that the campus has for quite a few years. As usual someone who wasn't supposed to stoke the store, Estella Emmery and Anna Marie Tompkins gave the audience a little look-in on some real Dixie jazz and jazz I had received this campus has ever relaxed enough to give student players. Bill Brucke had his usual success with his female impersonations and we had some real laughs.
We were relieved to read in the Journal-World's "Ode to the Governor's Daughter" column and also in another section of the paper that Peggy Ann was on the receiving end of a special initiation. Now we can all relax and worry about something else that's not very important.
Speaking of the musical comedy brings to mind the fact that that same show has caused a romance to blossom —or else he doesn't have to worry about those florist's bills. Sunday at rehearsal, Bert Ruth Smith did a much needed faint and spent the day of the day in bed and little Buddy K.O. Frink who plays piano with Red's band sent the patient some flowers. Then after Tuesday's performance, he repeated his act of a couple of days before he yet found out what he intends to do for the rest of the show's run but we'll let you know just as soon as our chorus girl costumes come.
The Sigma Chi's are giving up speaking to George Fry for Lent . . , which isn't a bad idea at that but why limit it to Lent?
We hear that Dean Werner—you know, he’s the one who’s honest enough to say that he doesn’t like to be called “Dear”—tested a little beer the other day and instead of finding it wanting he found that it had about 6% of that nasty "A" in it when it was supposed to be just 3.2. He told about it at the Sig Ep house the other night where he was having dinner and so one of the fellows asked him what the plob was. Said Hank. Do you mean to tell me? Did he know Ep know where that place is?" They was words to that effect at least and anyway the point is that he knew d--- well those fellows knew the address.
We've been told that Ed. Geary is now giving lesson on the correct movements when eating an ice cream cone. Everyone must specialize in something it seems.

Socialistic Society Denies Individual Rights,Says Scott
Flaw Lies in Fact it Depends on Fallible Men for Direction, Iola Editor States
"I do not want a socialist society because I do not want government of the people, by the people, and for the people to perish from the earth," Charles F. Scott, editor of the Iola Register, said last night in defending the political and economic injustices of "Socialism at all, demands the dictatorship of one man or a few individuals, and the surrender of the inalienable rights of the American people."
"The inherent flaw of socialism," Mr. Scott said, "is the fact that it depends on more human, and fallible men for its direction. If the men in charge of business today cannot attain the highest efficiency in management, how can the President and his cabin succeed in this?" the speaker asked. "Better than the reasons capitalism is better than socialism is because capital-affords far less intelligence than socialism. Even socialists will admit this." Mr. Scott added.
"The only flaw of capitalism is in its intelligent administration. But this is a great flaw? Was there ever a system without faults? Even Christianity, the most perfect system of moral direction man has invented, has failed at times, as in the middle ages when it caused not of the wars of the period."
"Capitalism has worked and does work. It has built our country, given it the highest standard of living ever attained, made it the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. In view of this, can you say that capitalism is mathematically impossible, as did two of your earlier L.I.D. speakers?
Mr. Scott cited Russia as an example of what socialism would do for a country. "Russia is the worst picture of the overthrow of democracy. It permits starvation, suppresses all of man's rights; it consists of slavery and barbarian. A series like the LLDID lectures, which present both sides of the problem, are not available in Russia. When socialism comes freedom goes, the Constitution goes, the doctrine of rights and the America that we have known goes."
"Socialism means retrogression. The earliest aborigines used it until it failed and was supplanted in civilized times by capitalism," he asserted. Capitalism and the rights of private property were the beginnings of civilization. It must be suitable to human nature or it would have been given up long ago. The profit system has not proved fatal for six thousand years; everybody gains by it, and without it the government could hardly have existed at all."
Prof. R. L. Wiley, director of the University band, recently was guest conductor of the Burlington High School band in its annual winter concert.
Two members of the University hand, Frank Thornbrough, tronbonist, and John Schumalba, oboise, were guest artists. Mrs. Wiley accompanied them at the piano. Both numbers were well received.

Marionettes to Present Two Programs Today
Student Activity Books Will Admit to Evening Performance
In his brilliant and inspiring address George McDermott, judge of the United States Circuit court for the tenth judicial district, forcefully pointed out the place of institutions of higher education in the fight to maintain democracy. "The forces of education and civilization are as resistless as the tide itself," he said. "I firmly believe that in university bodies such as the one before me now, will be found the eventual answer to the question of what government the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth?"
"Fault, the Wicked Magician," will be presented by the Tony Sargent Marionettes in the University Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m. in the Chapel of the Museums of the University. Concert Course.
The play is in three acts with nine scenes. The costumes and scenic effects were designed by Tony Sarg. The first act takes place in Dr. Faust's study in Venice, where he develops his Venetian and the third act shows scenes from both places, seven years later.
Judge McDermott upheld the Supreme Court of the United States as the great-merit court in the nation.
The school children of Lawrence, through arrangements made by Dean D. M. Swarthout with the management of the Marionettes, are to be given a special performance this afternoon at 2:30 in the University Auditorium. A nominal admission of a few cents will be charged to cover general expenses. Students of the High School are to be favored Haskell Institution, for a percent cut in the regular admission charge and may attend the matinee performance for 25 cents;
The play was especially adapted for Tony Sarg's Mariettes by Stas Azoy. "Fault" is the oldest known puppet play. It was produced in the 16th century and since then he has a unique place in literary and legendary fame. This year in selecting "Fault" for his new Mariente production, Mr. Tony Sarg is carrying out a desire which he has been harboring for years.
"The whole philosophy of democratic government is on trial," declared Judge George Thomas McDermott yesterday morning in the all-University convocation. "Will we work to maintain our great government as it is or will we take a Hitler or a Mussolini from our midst and set him up as a dictator over all America? For myself I would much rather try on my own and fail than be regimented under a Hitler or a Mussolini and succeed."
Faith in U.S.Government Expressed by McDermott
Realey to Study in Englano
History Professor Will Do Research
Work Abroad Next Summer
The Marionettes are an extra attraction on the Concert Course and student activity tickets will admit.
C. B. Resley, associate professor of history, is planning to spend most of the summer in research work in England. He will leave as soon as the first examinations are over in the spring.
Professor Realey will study at the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London, and also in the British Museum and at the Public Record office. Then he will travel through the western part of England through Devon and Cornwall. From there he will go through the midland cities which include the large industrial districts of the country.
During the latter part of the summer, he hopes to be able to go on short trip to Germany where he will visit three of the former exchange professors. The men are: Professor Hochhut, '29, of Casel; Professor Weber 30, of Hamburg; and Professor Radke 31, of Berlin.
in the world. He stated that the Supreme Court has been and will continue to be one of the greatest forces we have to aid in resolving the current government in the United States
"The division that exists between Supreme Court judges that gives rise to five-to-four decisions has its foundations among the people of 150 years ago. It is a fundamental difference that has existed since our government was first proposed. That controversy arises over the problem of how much power should be vested in a Federal Government," said Judge McDermott. He went on to say that he did not in any way deploy this division of the court judges on these great constitutional questions because he believed that it only showed the integrity of the respective judges and their loyalty to the constitution as they see it.
Commenting on the criticism hurled at the Supreme Court by a few misinformed critics because of the possibilities of one man's vote deciding the constitutionality of Dermott's decision. Demott assured his audience that such a possibility did not in any way detract from the efficiency of this great body.

Graduate Student Speaks
Birth Control and Population Problems Discussed at Sociology Club Meeting
At a meeting of the Sociology Club yesterday afternoon Fred Perry, a graduate student, talked and led a discussion on birth control and population problems. The talk was illustrated by statistical charts.
"No one has decided just what part birth control has played in the population. Whether it arises out of an effect or a cause for the population is an important consideration." Mr. Perry pointed out that the cultural factor and the question of poverty entered in the application of birth control.
Mr Perry revealed that the primitive people had practiced birth control in different forms. The Egyptians were also familiar with certain methods.
In reading from sections of his paper Mr. Perry said that war did not have much influence on the population, considered from over a period of time.

Sixty-Four Names Listed On Ballots For WSGA Offices
Polls Will Be Open From 8 to 5 on First Floor of Central Administration
W. S.G.A. council members will act as judges in counting the votes, and R. W. Maddox, instructor in political W. R. Science, who drafted the transfer method of counting ballots adopted by the council this year will assist them.
Women voters will find the polls for the W.S.G.A. election open this morning at 8 o'clock in Central Administration building. All must be cast by 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Approximately 1200 women are qualified to vote for officers of the council and for the president and secretary of the class.
W. R. Maddox, instructor in political science, who drafted the transfer method of counting ballots adopted by the council this year, will assist them. The ballots are to be marked according to the voter's first, second, and third choices. The voter has the privilege of indicating as much choice he or she has counted, the ballots will be distributed in piles, according to the first choices indicated. If no candidate receives a majority vote on first choice, the votes of the candidate receiving the least number will be redistributed according to second choices indicated on those ballots. If the second choices of the rejected candidate do not give any answer to the question of having the second lowest number of first choices will be credited with the second choices indicated on them.
This method is continued until one of the candidates has obtained a majority vote, or one more than half of all the ballots cast for that office. This system will be used in counting all the votes, thus making it necessary for the winners of the election to have a majority vote instead of the plurality that was formerly the only requisite to declare a candidate elected.
An innovation, designed to expedite he count, is the plan to cut the ballets into segments, each with the vote or a given office, so that several boards may be working with the several sections at the same time.
If three-fourths of the women qualified to vote make use of their privilege today, a record-breaking vote can be cast. In the 1932 election, only 634 voted.
Results of the election may be obtained in the Daily Kansan news room this evening.
