New Committees
Are Named
Installation services for the new members of the Men's Student Council were held at a dinner in the Colonia Tea room last night. The banquet was attended by Chancellor E. H. Lindley the old and new members of the Council, and representatives of both political parties.
Kurt Riesen, outgoing president of the council, in a farewell speech intimated that the price of the student activity ticket might be raised next year. He recommended to the council that they do all in their power to secure the inclusion of basketball in the ticket. He also suggested that they permit the quota of the fund allowed to the council to be cut since this year's council has left a surplus of about $1,000 to carry over for next year.
Speeches were given by the following persons; Chancelor Lindley; John Darrow, l'35; Kurt Riesen; Jay Wannamaker, c'43; Harold Harding, l'34; Howard Hoover, l'36; and Gumar Mykland, c'34; Gordon Sloan, l'35, acted as toastmaster.
The council passed a resolution accepting the recommendation of the central committee of the student activity ticket providing for a free all-University party to be held in the Memorial Union building on Tuesday, May 29, to be paid from the reserve fund of the activity ticket. The W.S.G.A. will act on this resolution of its meeting next Tuesday night.
The council elected Kean Tillford, Delmar Curry, Walter Kuehler, and Hugh Randall as members of the executive committee. Sol Lindenbaum, Frank Allack, Nortbert Anschutz, and Lloyd Metzler were selected to serve on the joint committee on student affairs.

Three amendments to the constitution of the Men's Student Government Association one of which applies to the students and is published elsewhere in today's Kansan
These amendments permit an officer who has been elected from one school to fill out his term after he has changed to some other school of the University, and provide that in case the president of the student council shall not return to school, the vacancy shall be filled by the vice president; and in case the vice presidency shall also be vacant there shall be a special election.
The amendment applying to both groups provides for the establishment of a pep committee composed of one representative each from the men's council, the W.S.G.A., Sachem, Mortari Board, the K club, the Jay Jones, and the Ku Ku's to elect the cheerleaders. This will eliminate the faculty members who formerly voted on this committee
De Molay Chapter Planned Students Will Try to Get Organization at University
Plans for a chapter of DeMolay among the men students at the University of Kansas are being made in smokers which are to be held each Tuesday night at the Delta Sigma Lambda house At the smoker last evening committee were selected for the purpose of organizing the members of DeMolay who are at present students at the University
These smokers are to be held regularly each Tuesday evening at the Delta Sigma Lambda house. As soon as an organization is perfected and as many members as possible are interested in the formulation of the chapter, a formal petition for the charter will be made.
The members at present feel that there are many students now attending the University, who would be interested in continuing their DeMolay activities which have heretofore been denied them, while in school, and it is with this end in view that plans for the establishment of a chapter are being made.
The organization also plans to reorganize the Lawrence chapter of DeMolay at a later date.

Mrs. Roosevelt Knows How to Fish But Dislikes It
The postoffice department has settled a ponderous question after six weeks' deliberation and now everything is in place, inviting the special Mother's Day stamps.
Washington, April 25—(UP)—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt remains neutral in the fishing controversy between her husband and son, with the comment, "I would rather read or knit while other people fish."
"I know my husband is a grand fisherman," she said. "I am no fisherman at all, and I don't like it. I can do it all, bait the hook, take the fish off. But I hate it."
When Whistler's "Mother" was chosen as the design for the stamp, the question as to color arose. After much artistic discussion it was finally agree that purple was the proper hue, "because it was appropriate."
Another wexing problem was whether Whistler's mother should hold carnations in her hand. Proponents won, and the stamps were inspected on the stamp, if it is closely inspected.
The pageant will begin by the showing to the oldest wedding gown which was worn by the mother of Mrs. A. T Walker in 1869 and again by Mrs Walker in 1880. The dress will be mod-ized into a skirt, 33. Each dress is to be introduced by the man whom it was played at the wedding at the time it was worn.

Iospital to Make Study Of Body Temperatures
'Micromax' Added to Equipment for Purposes of Research
A recording thermometer which will record body temperatures over any length of time is the latest addition to the equipment at Watkins Memorial
The apparatus, technically a Micromax, arrived early this week and will be ready for use as soon as a suitable table can be built to support it. The entire mechanism is enclosed in a heavy iron box approximately two feet square having a large glass door on one side. The chart on which temperatures are displayed as well as the working of the machine, are visible through this door.
When attached to a patient it will make a continuous and accurate record of his body temperature over any length of time, generally 24 hours. The marker which records the temperatures on a roll of graph paper is actuated by a sensitive galvanometer used in connection with a wheat-stone bridge.
The machine was purchased by the research committee at a cost of $226, and is to be used primarily as a research instrument. "It will be used chiefly to investigate the actual normal body temperature of the human being," said Dr. R. I. Canutson, "for it has never been proved that 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is the normal body temperature."
Dr. Cauteson believes that there is a variation in normal body temperature throughout the day, and with the aid of the Micromax he intends to find out what that variation is. Students will be used as subjects in the investigation. All those who care to volunteer are asked to see Dr. Cauteson as soon as possible.
Aside from the research on normal temperatures, Dr. Cauteson intends to use the machine in diagnosing tuberculosis cases.
The Micromax was made on special order and is the only machine of its kind in the world.
Pianist Presents Recital
Hilina Powell Aided in Senior Program by Mary Louis Beltz
Miss Hilma Powell, a pupil of Prof. Carl A. Preyer, presented her senior piano recital last night in the auditorium of Administration building. Her program was free from hackneyed numbers and agreeably interesting to the audience.
The performance opened with Rachmaninoff's transcription of a Bach violin sonata movement which Miss Powell played with a good understanding of the music. In his book, Liszta's edition of Weber's "C Major Sonata," a work seldom heard.
In the second group containing modern numbers, Miss Powell did her most effective playing, giving an excellent example of her skill. "Burslem," and "Gluck's" "Balet."
Her closing number was the first movement of Moszkowski's "Concerto in E". Professor Preyer accompanied on a second piano.
Student's Brother Killed
Miss Mary Louise Beltz, fa'36, assisted Miss Powell by Singing Donizett's aria, "O mie Fernando."
Robert Basile, b'34, was called to his home in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday by the death of his younger brother, Billy. The boy was killed when the trailer in which he was riding broke away from his grandfather's car near White Cloud. He died while on his way to a St. Joseph hospital.
Track Coach Picks Eight Jayhawkers For Drake Relays
Point Winners at Kansas Track Carnival Seek to Repeat at Des Moines
Eight men have been selected by Coach H. W. Hargies to participate in the annual Drake Relays track and field meet which will be held in Des Moines Friday and Saturday, April 27 and 28.
The other men making the trip are Clyde Coffran, Bob White, Ed Hall, Thomas McGuire, Theno Graves, Bob Schroeder, and Elwyn Dees.
Of the men making the trip, all but one placed in their particular events in the Kansas Relays hold here last Saturday. Glenn Cunningham, who won the special mile race and ran on the Kansas relay team which finished second to the University of Indiana quartet, will not be entered in the meet. He is leaving tonight for Philadelphia where he will be featured with Gene Venzek in an invitational mile race to be held in connection with the Penn Relays. His place on the Kansas relay team will be taken by John McNown.
Two Pole Vault Entries
To the Vault Entries
Clyde Coffman and Bob White are entered in the pole vault. Coffman is a former Kansas high school record holder in this event. He was a member of the United States Olympic team of 1932, placing third in the decathlon.
He finished in third place in the decathlon event held in connection with this year's Kansas Relays.
White is also a pole vault winner in the Kansas state high school meet. He won this event in the meet held in Emperia in 1331 and went on to win it in the national interscholastic track and field meet held in Chicago that same year, for first place in the recent Kansas Relays with a vault of 12 feet 2 inches.
Elwyn Dees is another all-star performer entered in the Drake meet. Dees still holds both the Kansas state high school record in the shot put and the national interscholastic mark for the 12-pound shot. His national record stands at 58 feet, 10 inches. Last week he passed 50 feet with the 16-pound shot by two inches, which bettered the then existing Relays record of 49 feet, $10\frac{1}{2}$ inches. He finished second to Irwin, of Texas A. M., however, who set the new record when his best throw measured 50 feet, $32\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Ed Hall will be entered in the 100-yard dash. Hall won this event in the 1933 Kansas carnival, but finished second to Crooms, of the Emporia Teachers College in last week's meet. Hall won the 100-yard dash in the 1933 Big Six outdoor meet, and won the 60-yard Big Six indoor event. He finished a perfect round to Ralph Metcalf, 1932 United States Olympic champion in the recent Butler relays carnival. Hall will also anchor the Kansas mile relay team.
Tom McGuire tied for third place in the high jump at the Kansas Relays.
Running on the mile relay team are Bob Schroeder, John McNown, Theno Graves, and Ed Hall. McNown has shown up exceedingly well in the last few practices and is taking over the place vacated by Glenn Cunningham.
The squad will leave tomorrow at 10 a.m. by motor car. They will be accompanied by Coach H. W. Hargiss, Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics and Adrian Lindsey, head football coach.
