WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1934 A LADY-LIKE CAMPAIGN The approaching freshman class election finds the men vigorously campaigning; persuading the undetermined freshman that their party stands for all that is great and noble; and arguing, good-heartedly for the most part, with the gentlemen of opposite political leanings—a healthy, open lot of action which creates excitement and enthusiasm for the race. Assembling in the Administration building yesterday afternoon, an orderly group of young women met to nominate candidates for freshman vice president and secretary. With the monies duly named, the young women proceeded back to their houses, there to sit with hands folded in a lady-like fashion until an election count disclosed that so and so with a nice-sounding name had been elected to one office, and that another representative member of the feminine element of the freshman class had also proved the popular choice. No combines, no campaigning, just a straightforward judgment based on the merits of the women, is the election slogan of the combined women's organizations. But the inside story, which is not so inside as some would believe, is that since undercover methods must be resorted to, telephone wires are kept hot for several days preceding the nominations up to the time of election, arranging combines, eliminating one competitor, and strengthening the backing of another. Co-operation indeed—and the best "co-operators" place a representative on the W.S. G.A. council. It is general knowledge, that there are combines, that politics is being played as much by the women, if not as openly, by the men. Why not bring the women's campaigns out into the open? Give backers a chance to talk up their candidates; let women voters know something of the record and capabilities of persons listed on the ticket, in the place of sending a large part of the women to the polls with instructions to vote, and more definite instructions how to vote. A WORTHWHILE EXPERIMENT Too often in the past, student council members discussing bills brought before them have considered not what benefits the University would derive from passages of the bills, but how much good or harm the Such-and-such party would get out of them. That sort of debate came into use because of the frequency of councils made up almost entirely of members of one party, with little or no representation of minorities. The Hare plan of election is to be adopted by the student council in an effort to minimize the possibility of one-party councils and provide for proportional representation. The suggestion has been met on the Hill by the same criticisms that have been directed against proportional representation plans since they were first brought forward: that the procedure is too complicated for the ordinary voter to understand, and that chance, in transferring votes from one candidate to another, plays too important a part in the final result of the election. Several years of use of the plan in a few American cities has weakened those objections, and students of the subject are gaining confidence that the plan is an improvement over the old election systems. Whether the Hare plan succeeds in giving proportional representation in the council to campus parties or not, the experiment will be worthwhile because of its educational value. In political science courses students have read about the plan and admired its theory. Its use in campus elections will give them a chance to see it in operation. For these students who previously knew nothing of the plan, the experiment will serve to call to their attention one of the most noteworthy ideas for election reform that has been advanced in recent years, and that gives some promise of spreading rather generally among the local governmental units of the country. A PRECEDENT An article in a recent Kansan, reprinted from the Daily Illini, states that Dartmouth students have agreed to meet the responsibility of governing themselves. A new and revolutionary student-control plan has been devised which gives all powers of discipline to a student board. All of the dormitories on the campus have accepted the plan and pledged their support, and it is expected that the next step will be the pledging by the 26 fraternities on the campus. This pledge means that every group which takes it is free from supervision by the college. The Dartmouth students have established a precedent which may lead to a great program of student supervision in colleges over the country. If the plan is successful it will mean that a way has been found for students to be self-governing in a much greater degree, and there will be less unrest because of too much administrative supervision.

Lack of space has necessitated cutting a few paragraphs of political epiphats. Editor Daily Kansan: I noticed recently in this column a typical Pacchapac macrop and the Oredn-Kuahyw freshman ticket. The point of the attack was that the O-K candidate for president of the Freshman Class is a Beta. Which policy is more open, to nominate a man that admittedly is and will be a fraternity man, or to nominate one who runs as a non-fraternist and pledges later, as was done last year? It may be better politics from the standpoint of obtaining the non-fraternity patrol. Why? What all this distinction between fraternity and non-fraternity anyway? Has it either more智力? Is either a better "egg"? Does either make a better offer-holder? Granting, for the sake of argument, their contention that a frat member has horns and a tail, and bellows like a bull, the O-K ticket still has three non-frat men to the two of the opposition. Pachacamec has conveniently and yet so foolishly overlooked this fact in its article. —W.P. "The Pachacamac's always win." Editor Daily Kansan: "The trenaconice his stalwyns wills." As a non-financer freshman I have heard that statement a good many people have made, and that is the only reason that has ever been advanced to me in support of that party. It is to be expected that the 19 fraternities supporting the Pachacamac party will put their little pledges on the head and tell them to vote Pachacamac like good little boys. They will do so, too, because they haven't enough experience to govern themselves. But I do not believe the nonfraternity men will be so dominated. Even if the independent men are elected on the Pacchacamac ticket they will be powerless because there is no non-fraternity organization to back them. The fact that the party supported by both fraternity and non-fraternity members. They elect their around on the night of the Phi Phi house when Ralph Brewster, number four of the masters of the terrestrial, well-known horizontal position. -R.P. Members of one of the social organizations for men on West Campus have tired of the company offered by their sisters on the campus. They are doing something else, team. Witnesses at the Eldridge Coffee Shop have the call at present. — D.E. Praterity boys are feeling the depression. Instead of buying duck stamps and hunting down on the Kaw some of the boys out along Edgehill are moving away at the huge flocks of blackhills which fly around so noilably. R.F. The idea is to furnish thrill seekers with an unusual form of diversion and satisfy the craving for something unusual in a gigantic stage show. These and many others will undoubtedly send cold chills thru your blood and you will leave the theatre after the performance seeking an explanation of some of these manifestations.—Adv. Then Hadji Baba's spiritualistic seance and ghost show that will be shown at the Granada Theatre one performance only beginning at 11:30 Friday night will undoubtedly satisfy your every expectation. DOES THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN AWE AND INSPIR YOU? Some of the manifestations which will chill you to the marrow include skull talking, painting, table writing, and rapping, spirit hand writing, the separation of the spiritualistic body and spiritual sacraments, sages, spirit materialization, earthbound and ghost apparitions. candidates by popular vote on the principle of proportional representation of frut and non-frut men. —J. Dilbert Nicolls The recent action of the Oread-Kayhawk coalition has convinced me that the Oread-Kayhawk party is not giving the non-friederity man any better break than Pachumacne. The coalition has agreed to be president for the freshman class. Editor Daily Kansan; Perhaps a purely anti-farl party can't win elections, but I'd like to see it tried. The Hill needs such a party, and the feeble smoke screen of the Oread-Kray-hawks shouldn't. Find non-traditiveness absolutely no voice in Hill politics. I am not criticizing their action because I think they should have nominated a non-fraternity man. That 'non-fraternity party' why but why pose a A solid and well-organized strictly anti-fraternity party could win every election. It would take two or three years to win the first one, but after that there wouldn't even be a race. The thing that makes non-fraternity men vote Pacchauca now is that they have no choice other than that, and it is chance to vote for a purely non-fraternity party, they'd run at it. "I like to see some of the Hill's nonfriaternity men get together and start such a party before next spring. They could have control of the Hill in a year." Don't think I'm a Pachacamea trying to hang one on the Oren-Darkayhaws. I've voted O-K in the two elections I've taken part in. Chas. B. Anderson Editor Daily Kansan: The Pachaomas claim that they run non-fraternity men on their ticket. This is true. At least they are non-fraternity men when they run for office if not for long. What if they do run non-fraternity men? What does it mean? A Secret Panel for a FLATTER FRONT BELOW THE MIDDLE in this New Vassarette We think this New Vassarette is just about perfect. You see it has a secret inner panel for controlling unruly婴婴s. Without the aid of bones . . . and without the loss of freedom! Now you can help yourself to a fighter front, below the waist and still enjoy the delightful comfort of a Vassarette. The New Vassertation girdle provides your curves and flatters your beautifully below the waist. The panel is in girdles and all-in-ones, but only in Vassettes. VASSARETTE FOUNDATIONS Absolutely nothing because there is no non-fraternity organization back of them. These men are a hand-picked few who for some reason, perhaps political, cannot or do not pledge at the fraternity men and the members of the Pachacamac fraternities such the ordinary non-fraternity man except during election time when they want his vote. Who ever heard of a Pachacamac fraternity? Do you know that fraternity men who could be relied upon to do as they were told? No one. They are secret meetings only for the puppets who make up the chosen few. Who nominated the Pachacamac canteen small group did it with its little hatchet On the contrary the Oread-Kayahawk meetings were widely advertised, and anyone who desired, even Puchacha, would be nominated in nominating the men he desired in office. Men of real ability and initiative were nominated, and any freshman who is voting for the best interests of the men should support them—One who is disgusted. Editor Daily Kansan: Coming as a freshman to the University of Kansas I noticed a great difference between the Hill's two political organizations: the Pacchacamades and the Pachacamades. At first, I bounced tried to "button-hole" me during the first few weeks of school. Besides barking Pacchacamade at me on campus they also came into my room and made sure I was there, these high pressure salemens seemed to be able to say was Pacchacamade, Pacchacamade. . Little was said about the nomination of freshman GROSS CAFE at 9th and New Hampshire On the other hand the Oread-Kay- hawks have been straightforward and friendly. At the nomination of freshman military officers for this group the O-K party was used only to aid us in naming our officers. I know the cindling, O-Kay and that they are truly worthy of representing the freshman class. Welcomes You at all times. —R.K. Shrimp and Oysters every Thursday and Friday.
