Organizations Which
Are Sponsoring
Movement
The return of Hobe Day was asked of Chancellor Lindley this morning by the Traditions Committee of the Mom's Student Council representing the student body. The Chancellor did not give a definite answer but said that the response was addressed to the College and the Senate and a decision returned sometime next week.
Sol Linderblum, e36, chairman of the committee acted as spokesman at the meeting. Other members were Beverly McKinnon, Wills, e35; and Warren Planksted, e35.
The committee asked that in order to instill a greater degree of pep and enthusiasm for the Kansas-Nebraska homecoming game, classes be shortened to 20 minutes Friday morning, Nov. 16, to allow time for players to practice in their 11 o'clock to 12 in conjunction with a pep rally with the traditional "Doe Yak" pep talk.
WSGA. and both the women's and men's Pan-hellenic organizations have gone on record as favoring the return of the famous traditional celebration.
Chancellor Lindley said that he had the greatest respect for these organizations and their leaders and that he believed that if a Halo Day was held they would go to school and keep the students from becoming rowdy. "Our experience, however, has been that there is always a minority group who rain such events by their disorderly conduct," the Chancellor added. "The professors find that they are unable to hold even their shorts down, due to the confusion and royden."
So Lindenbaum when questioned concerning the outcome of the meeting said, "The Chancellor has promised to present our case to the faculty and is co-operating with us to the largest extent. He could give us no further aid before he finally addressed a meeting of the faculty but he will have a definite answer next week.
"I am sure that through the co-operation of the various organizations intertwined in this league, we can itself themselves without rowlism and we can regain some of the pop and enthusiasm that was known back in the 1950s." — The hull-lifts of the football season.

Chemists to Hear Cady
To Discuss New Method of Determining Molecular Weights
The weekly meeting of the Chemistry Club will be held this afternoon at 430 in room 201 of the Chemistry building. The principal speaker will be Dr. H. P Cady who will talk on his new precision of determining molecular weights.
After much time and research spent in the exact determination of molecular weights, Doctor Candy finally discovered a method whereby the experimenter could be almost exactly accurate. His method requires a very sensitive analytical balance which will weight to the ten-thousandths of a gram. He tried many places to purchase one which would suit his needs but could not afford it. In the end, the results he wanted. Finally he had me built to his own specifications.
His tipic should appeal to all the members of the Chemistry department because it shows the constant advancement in chemistry. The chemistry department urges all those interested in chemistry to attend the meeting and hear Doctor Cady'sdiscussion.

Bill to Introduce Hare Voting Plan Heard by Council
Third Reading Next Weel
Necessary Before Mea-
ure May Be De-
cided Upon
A bill to introduce the proportional representation system in student voting, which if passed, will bring about a reelection of a candidate who had been elected in Hill elections, was brought before a meeting of the Men's Student Council last night and read twice. A third and final reading must be given at each vote on the measure. The vote on the measure can take place.
Proportional representation is a plan adopted by Cincinnati, and a number of American cities, and is designed to prevent a party that is slightly in the majority. For example, if a party such a way that a larger proportion of the legislative body belongs to that majority party. The "horrible example" of the proponents of the plan is the situation, a number of years ago in which Tammany elected all 30 members of the legislature of New York, and assembly members would have given Tammany only 19 votes.
To Go Into Effect In Spring
To Go Into Effect In Spring
The bill was prepared by a special committee of Gunnar Vorm, c35; chairman; Reed Vorn, c34; Keill Tandon, c35; and Walter Kuchner, c38; with the co-operation of W. R. Maddox, instructor in the position of Assistant Professor last night through special suspension of the rules. The bill must be read three times before voting upon the measure will take place. The final reading will be given at the next regular meeting of the Council, Wednesday, Nov. 7.
If the bill is passed the voters will face an entirely new system of voting in the Spring election. The following instructures explain how to vote in Figures No Crosses, Mark the figure 1 in the square opposite the name of your first choice for each office on the general ballot, and for representative. Mark the third choice for each office on the general ballot, and for representative. Mark the second choice, the figure 3 in the square opposite your third choice and so on. You may mark as many choices as you please, but only one choice is elected. Do not put the same figure oppose more than one name. If you spell this ballot, return it for cancellation to the officer in charge of balls and get an answer.
Invalid Bailots Decreased
One outstanding change in the proposal is the provision that "No ballot shall be held invalid because it is marked in ink or ink paper different from the one Mykland, president of the Council, explained this, stated that the old provisions whereballs marked in ink were thrown out was obviously unintended. The new bill would have a voice in the election last spring because they had marked ballots in ink." Mykland said. "The new bill provides that no vote of the voter is clear, the ballot is valid."
The actual provisions for proportional representation embody the Hare system using the Droop quote. By this system a certain number of votes as provided for in the bill. This quote, as it is called determined by dividing the total number of votes to the number of votes by one more tahn the total number of positions to be filled in each case and adding one to the result, disregarding fractions. Thus, in the college where six students are elected, if there are 800 votes cast, the quota necessary to elect is found by dividing the 800 by 7 and adding one to the total. By this method a candidate must have
Sorted According To Choices
Sorted According.
The ballots are first sorted according to the number of ballots credited on them. Whenever at any stage of the counting the number of ballots credited to a candidate becomes equal to the quota (in the above case 115) he is declared elected and no ballots in excess of that number credited to him. Any subsequent ballots must be sorted according to the second choice marked on it, if the second choice has also been elected, to the next choice marked on it for a candidate not yet elected.
When all the ballots have been credited to first choices and the excess ballots

Students May Study Soil
Kansas College Seniors Possibly Will Be Employed By Government
Approximately fifty seniors from Kansas State, Hays, and Emporia colleges soon may be employed by the government to make an intensive and practical study of soil erosion in Kansas, according to the Kansas City Times. The project will move from all parts of the United States.
Officials of the ground soil erosion service hope that these students will be taught all the technicalities of soil erosion control and become skilled in methods of discouraging the wanderlust among Kansas farmers and prevent the deported to spread the doctrine among Kansas farmers and prevent the emigration of soil to other parts of the Midwest.
The stipend of those students recommended by the authorities of their school, will be the wage prescribed by public works administration. The work expected to last six or eight months.

tions may be obtained tonight from
the Kansas newsroom by calling
K.U. 270- K3.
The Pachacama ticket is headed by Bill Ashar, c38 for president. Fritz Huey is the candidate for treasurer, and Kemometh von Achen, c38 and Archie McMann and the Mintman, are candidates. The Oread-Kayhawk candidate for president is Bob Stolland, c38 and John Perecy, c38 in the Oread-Kayhawk candidate for treasurer John Nichols, c1unel, and Charles Blair, c34 are candidates for dance managers. The president of the freeman class is a member of the Mint's Studio Council.
A light vote this morning and afternoon indicates that the freshmen men were taking but little interest in the election of their president, treasurer, and dance managers. By 2:30 this afternoon only 180 votes had been cast. The balloting was especially light in the School of Engineering. Students in that department stated, judging by the morning's showing, not more than 390 votes would be cast.
No Handbills Distributed
The day, although ideal for an election, seems to have aroused little enthusiasm among the students. Both parties kept the agreement to print no handbills and in so doing eliminated much of the color which has characterized former elections. The campaign this year has been focused on houses and contacting the electorate personally, rather than by printed publicity and mass meetings.
There were indications that the vetting would pick up to some extent this week and that they would out to round up voters and bring them to the polls. This activity will continue for next few days.
