Kansas Methods Approved
W. S.G.A. Learns That University Self Government Compares Favorably
Student government at the University compares most favorably with the self-government organizations on other campuses, reports Margaret Sherwood, c 35, president of W.S.G.A., on her return from the Women's Self-Government Association convention held recently at Tucson, Ariz., which she attended with Lila Lawson, former president of the organization here.
Differences in regulations on various campuses were noted by the women.
"Our activity book has been a bone of contention here for some time," commented Miss Sherwood, "but while we pay only $8.75 for a ticket for the whole year, students at the University of Arizona must pay $19.50. On many campuses the political situation is very bad. Every organization enters into the politics, even the school papers."
A report of the convention will be given tonight at a dinner of the old and new councils.
"Schools from all over the west were represented at the convention, and we were all very hospitably treated," concluded Miss Sherwood.

Mayerberg Initiated Into Sigma Alpha Mu
Prominent Rabbi Becomes Fraternity Member at Convention
Rabbi Samuel S. Mayerberg, of Kansas CMy, Mo., instructor in religion at the University was initiated Sunday afternoon into Sigma Alpha Mu, Jewish social fraternity.
The initiation was the high spot of a meeting which included the eleventh annual Founder's Day dance and banquet at the Hotel Bellerive in Kansas City. Members from Creighton University, University of Nebraska, City College of New York, University of Oklahoma, University of Illinois, University of Missouri, and Washington University at St. Louis attended the convention.
Rabbi Mayerberg received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1913 from Cincinnati College and his Master's Degree in 1914 from the same college. In 1912 he received a Bachelor of Hebrew Degree from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. He received the Rabbinical degree in 1917. In addition he was graduate instructor in political science for three years in Cincinnati.
He was one of the leaders of a clean-up movement in Kansas City about two years ago. Since then his work in exposing the graft of the administration has frequently placed him in danger and he has found it necessary to have a guard for his protection.
Vastness of Sun in Relation to Earth Illustrated in Examples by Dr. Alter
Rabbi Mayerberg, prominent in Kansas City, is one of the originators of the National Youth Movement, and was a founder of the Charter League of that organization.
"The Astronomer Looks at Bigness, was the topic of a recent talk by Dr Dinsmore Alter, University astronomer, speaking over KFKU.
After his arrival in Kansas City as Rabbi of Temple Binaal Jyehudah, he established a chair of Jewish study at the University of Missouri, in 1930. He brought to that chair Professor Q. Kaeffz of the University of Chicago. Professor Kaeffz is now a member of the University of Missouri faculty.
Other activities of Rabbi Mayerberg in Kansas City are the *Bai'r Bith* of which he was president of district number two, which comprises the states of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado. He served as chair of the Jewish Welfare federation of greater Kansas City and president of the Jewish Children's home in Kansas City.
Rabbi Mayerberg comes to Lawrence each week, on Tuesday, to teach classes in the School of Religion.
Although our earth has a circumference of about 25,000 miles, our sun is so big that it would take 108 earths, strung together like beads, to cross it. It would take 1,300,000 earths to fill the shell of the sun and 332,000 earths would be required to total the mass of the sun.
The earth's mass is around 6,500,000,000,000,000,000 tons, and the center of the earth is so hot that all is molten. The earth supports 1,600,000,000 hu-
The earth, which was formed from the sun, is perhaps 2,000,000,000 years old.
The core of the sun has a temperature of 100,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The earth has tornadoes, sometimes
Some examples of astronomic bigness are the following;
The amount of radiation which the sun has given off in the past few hundred million years cannot have varied by any large amount. If it had doubled, and if it had been boiled and if it had been decreased to half, they would have frozen.
100 miles across, while the sun has tornadoes sometimes nearly 100,000 miles across.
There have been times in the past when the sun's light and heat radiation increased more than a thousand-fold in a few hours. If this were to happen today we might never know it. The increase in its radiation might, merely be a consequence that blessed would end all, before we realized what was happening.
The oceans would boil and then the surface of the earth would melt and evaporate, finally to cool down once more after the solar excitement had subsided. In the past this has happened.

Record for Becalli
Cunningham's Time in 1000 Meters Bettered
Norman, April 24. —(Special) —Beecali, Italy's Olympic 1500 meters champion, Milan, Nov. 4, 1933, and since his mark is 1.1 seconds faster than the time Glenn Cunningham of Kansas made in the Oklahoma Amateur meet here April 7, Cunningham's mark will probably reach that record because than a world's record, Danielle J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U has written Ben G. Owen, University o Oklahoma athletic director.
"For your information, Italy has filmed an application in behalf of Beccali and it has been approved by the Bureau of World's Records, subject to final approval by the Congress of International Amateur Athletic federation at Stockholm, to be held in August," Ferri wrote Owen.
Ferris enclosed both world and American record forms for Cunningham and also an American record form for Heye Lambertus of Nebraska who broke all listed records for the 120-yard low hurdles, 10 hurdles, in the Oklahoma Amateur meet here with his mark of 131 seconds.
Cunningham ran the 1,000 yards in 2:11.1. The present world's record is 2:11.2.
Dramatics Department To Give 'Journey's End'
Begun by the dramatic department merely as an experiment in solving problems of staging technique, the production developed so well that it was decided to offer the show to the public. A small surplus from the dramatic department's share of the activity fund would be made free to activity book holders. A small charge will be made for those who do not have books.
Production Will Be Given as Added Activity Attraction
University students will enjoy an unexpected treat when the department of speech and dramatic art presents "Journey's End" as an extra attraction on the activity book. This war drama, which takes place in the world of the war, will be offered in Fraser theater the nights of April 30, May 1, and 3.
Professor Allen J. Crafton, chairman if the department and director of "Journey's End," announced a new arrangement in seating for the forthcoming production. No reserved seats will be offered, but only 680 tickets, or the capacity of the theater, will be issued for each performance. In that way every holder of a ticket will be assured of a seat, although his position in the audience will depend on his early arrival.
The cast of Journey's End is composed entirely of men, and for several years dramatic students here have been eager to present the play. Nevertheless, the dramatic department has never felt equal to the difficulties presented by the war drama to attempt it until this year, Professor Crafton said.
Some of the Hill's best known actors have large parts in the new show. GeorgoR Callahan will play Captain Stanhope, the same role Colin Clive essayed on the professional stage. This part is said to be admirably suited to his role and will make him appear here in the above mentioned character.
Although, the entire action occurs on one set, the off stage effects of the booming guns and the flashing Very Bright lights are worked out by the production staff.
The play is the work of R. C. Sheriff, an English officer in the world war. He wrote the drama for amateur production to raise funds for an organization ex-service men. The amateur performance of the show me, I will add the action to the play and taken to the London stage. From there, it not only swept England, but was brought to this country and presented with equal success.

ACTIVITY TICKET CHANGES MADE BY COMMITTEE
Seating at Football Games and Fine Arts Programs, Major Objections, Are Altered at Meeting
RETURN TO WEST SIDE
Students May Sit From 40- Yard Line North in Old Section at Contests
After a hectic year in which it was the center of much contention, the student activity ticket plan is undergoing a thorough overhauling which is designed to place it in a more favorable light with students.
At a meeting of the Central Committee on the Student Activity Ticket, last night, the outstanding student objections to the ticket, as voiced through the men and women student councils, were removed.
The three major objections discussed by the committee were the seating of the students on the east side of the stadium, the necessity of obtaining tickets for each concert, and the lack of a central office for making seat reservations to concerts, lectures, and athletic events.
May Sit on Both Sides
May sit on both sides
Through the co-operation of Dr. F. C.
Allen, students, next year, may have
a choice of seats in the west side of
the stadium starting at the 40 yard line
and running north, or they may sit on
the east side at the 50 yard line running
north. This decision is subject to the
approval by the Athletic board. Ticket
reservations for athletic events will be
made at the athletic office, as they were
this year.
In the case of the concerts, no tickets will be necessary according to an agreement reached with Dean Swarthout. All that will be necessary will be the presentation of the activity ticket at the door, thus overcoming the need of a central rental reservation agency. The tickets for the plays will be reserved as they have been in the past. The committee also discussed the possibility of providing a photograph of each student for identification purposes to be affixed to his activity ticket. This plan, if approved by the councils, will be put into operation next fall at registration.
May Have Party
The disbursement of the reserve fund of the activity ticket, which amounts to about $700.00, was also discussed. It is subject to the action of the Central Committee on confirmation by the councils. In as much as the activity ticket bill provides for the disbursement of part of this money for student entertainment, the committee decided to plan for a free party at the Memorial Union building on May 29, which would be paid for out of the RKC and approved by the two councils, plans for the party will be carried out by Ozwin Rutledge, manager of the Memorial Union building.
The central committee is composed of 17 members, students and part faculty members.
University students this year voiced objections to the plan which required them to sit on the east side of Memorial stadium at football games. They were forced to look into the sun, they said. The athletic office countered with the statement that it could not afford to use a large screen with student activity prices, which averaged about 35 cents. Attempted compromises met with no success.
Clear Up Old Objections
**Cleek Up Old Objections**
The seating arrangements were again attacked on the grounds that students, who would not feed to high school, were not given the best seats. They argued that they would not have voted for the activity ticket had they known they would not have been given the choice places. A statement similar to the one made by the athletic officials was given out in refutation of the student criticism.
Other difficulties were experienced when students tried to sell their tickets to outliders. No plan to make trans- tents available has been announced for next year.
W. S. G. A. to Hear Report
The old and new W. S. G. A. Council will be present at a dinner tonight at the Memorial Union cafeteria. Lilies of Mary's Church, the council and Margaret Sherwood, c35, present president, have recently returned from a convention, upon which they will report at the dinner tonight.
