There comes the story of a sweet young addition to our campus who will most certainly take a much more enlightened leave of us some day. The lady in question is Mary Kretzinger, to which Laura Lukenes and V1 Skinner were explaining the Hauptmann case one day. Betty didn't know why they were trying to hang it on the poor wall behind her bed. She complained it. Nurse Betty Gow and friend Hauptmann were trying to teach the baby how to walk down the ladder which was exhibited in court as belonging to the kidnapper, and the nurse apparently started the child from the window at the top and Bruno was stationed at the bottom to catch-catch just in case. Well, the just in case came around, the baby fell, and Bruno didn't do his job. New Jersey got mad at him etc. There are some more gruseness and not so comical details but we thought it best to leave them out. Anyway it's bad enough that she'd believe this much of it.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, MARCH 12. 1935
We hate to keep bringing this silly knitting craze up again and again but we heard a good crack on it the other day—at least we thought it was good. Stan "Lightfoot" Bernhard offered that he "thought perhaps all the girls carried the needles for self-defense, but all I've seen so far are still knitting with them." That self-defense stuff sounds like a bit of braggadocio anyway.
Our cousin Sol tells us that "Tooots" Moorehead who got several of the Pi Plugs through an English course, is now teaching English. In any of the more comely who need it.

Herewith is presented a one-act play which took place at the home of Prof
Bob Braden—"Say that with a bale full look Mr. Harrison."
Carter Harrison—"Sable thinking requires good horse-sense."
Prof. Beaal—"Let's not get stalled." Werner Zitter "Wheres only spurs up the attack."
Since everyone else smarted off we might as well add that such a business is most of a certainty a horse on somebody.

We noticed at the Pan-Hellenic party Saturday night that the artist (?) who made the Beta shield forgot to include that most necessary little dash in Theta, thereby making it B.O.Pi. We were just thinking that a little coupling of that "B.O." Pi with the story we had heard from the author of bathing where one uses powder instead of soap and water would make a neat little something or other.

PSGL to Attempt To Restore Faith In Politics Here
Organization Holds Dinner to Interest Women in New Student Government
To restore lost faith in student government and to make such an organization an integral part of the educational system, is one of the chief aims of the Progressive Student Government League, as brought out at a banquet Sunday night, which was attended by ex-Oreed-Kayhawk, ex-Pachacamas, ex-abstainers from campus politics.
Evidently hoping to interest University women in their program, the men brought dates, among which were several W.S.G.A. leaders. "It is our purpose to interest the Women's Student Council in this new conception of the real purpose of student government," Charles Anderson, T38, toastmaster, and chairman of the PSGL, in explaining the unusual appearance of women at a man's banquet devoted to student government, "for we feel that the support of the women, and the women's student government will be essential to any student organization and open discussion of current affairs."
Calls For Primary System
The program of the league calls for the establishment of an official direct primary system, student court, and a system of open forums. Logane Lane, T36, Ois Brubaker, c'35, Frank Litras, T36, and Lyman Field, c'36, spoke at the meeting, explaining different points of the program. Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and Herbert Mueller, were guests of the League.
The PSGL realizes that the primary vote is not a cure-all, Lane, the first speaker, declared. The League is not proposing the abolition of political parties and it would still be possible for such parties to nominate candidates, but it does believe that the primary will do away with a great deal of under-cover politics. The league believes that if all students have the right to nominate candidates, they will feel they have a larger share and responsibility in student government, and such a feeling will help restore lost faith in the possibilities that lie behind such a group.
To Have Five Judges
Frank Litras, in speaking for the student court, brought out that governing bodies, as a rule, do not possess judicial power, which is vested in the Men's Student Council at the present time. The court would handle cases not legislative in nature. Its membership would be made up of five men, sitting apart from the council. The judges would be chosen by election, two from each of the two prominent groups on the campus, and the fifth, who was in no way affiliated with a political party, or held a position of high authority by the elected body. The court would try cases of student misdeceanors, as drunkenness, cheating, and election frauds.
Measle Epidemic Continues
To give student government a real purpose for existence, is one of the
Sixteen Students Treated Yesterday at Hospital for Disease
The measles epidemic continues to take a heavy toll each day of students on the campus, according to Dr. R. I. Canuteste, director of the student health service. Yesterday 16 students were hospitalized at Walking Memorial hospital.
The epidemic could be overcome, Dr. Canutesson believes, if students were more conscientious in reporting to the hospital at the first symptom of infection. Symptoms indicating measles infection are headache, burning eyes, and swollen neck glands. These symptoms are noticeable from one to four days before the characteristic rash appears, and it is important to danger of becoming infected from the person taking the measles. Dr. Canutesson pointed out.
