Chancellor Hopes U.S.Will Continue CSEP Operations
Sends Telegram to Federal Administrator Stressing Project's Success Here
Acting for the five state schools or Kansas, Chancellor E. H. Lindley sent a telegram today to Harry Hopkins, federal relief administrator, stressing the eminent success of the College Student Employment projects in Kansas, and hoped that some way might be found to continue the project another year.
The Chancellor's action follows a preliminary report from Washington by Hopkins yesterday. The report outlined the general progress of similar plans at educational institutions all over the United States and indicated that more than 70,000 young men and women are being sent through college by the measure at the cost of $1,017,617 a month.
"A large number of students have been given employment, and they have worked hard at bona fide jobs," the Chancellor said.
Affects 1,207 Colleges
Meets 1207 Colleges
The students who are being assisted under this rule are 2017 college located in every state in the Union. However, Wisconsin, Indiana, Idaho, Delaware, Florida, and Nebraska are not included in this report.
The work of the students, according to Hopkins, ranges from manual labor to technical assistance in laboratories and clerical work in libraries.
A number of college presidents have made public statements of their views of the program, Hopkins said in his report. He quoted several of them.
Enrollment Increases
A. G. Crane of the University of Wyoming said, "I find this group is exceedingly worthy. Many of the young men have been living in attics and basements, boarding themselves on $2 and $10 a month, undergrowing numerous privations in order to remain in school with the hope that some sort of relief will be available, which would enable them to remain in school by giving them employment.
"These young men and women con-
situte the best students on the cam-
paign."
J. R. McCain, president of Agne,
Scott College, Decatur, Ga., said:
"I believe that this aid to students is perhaps the most constructive and is likely the most permanent of all the students present is providing at the present time."
Recent increases in enrollment at the University of Kansas were said to have been the direct result of the workings of the plan here. Approximately 356 persons were employed on Mt. Oread, both men and women students.
Sixty-seven more students were enrolled in the University on March 1, than on the corresponding date a year ago, and registrations for the spring semester this year totaled 316 to 273 for the year before.
Discusses Rail Problems
Professor Teviotdale Holds Abandon
ment of Some Lines Practical
At the meeting of the State Planning Board yesterday in Topeka, D. J. Teviotdaile, associate professor of economics, who is directing the research on transportation told the board that in trying to co-ordinate the services of present means of transportation there is no pattern to follow, and that because of this, "piecemeal studies" are having to be made at the beginning.
Abandonment of railroads with the cost to the public, and allied matters are included in the study. "It should be the function of this body." Professor Teviotdale said, "to recognize that the abandonment of certain present means of transportation may be as practical as a consideration of expansion."
Chancellor E. H. Lindley was among those present at the meeting.
MISS MOORE, MISCHREIF

Aggies and Butler Swell Entry List For Annual Relays
Kansas State Will Send 19 Nine From Indiana College Includes Raymond Sears
The entry list for the Kansas Relay was swelled today with the receipt to names of thirty-one men to be enlisted in the Army and one from Butler College of Indiana.
Included on the Butter entry list is the name of Raymond Sears, national indoor two-mile record holder. Sears will compete in the 1500-meter race and will run on the two and the four-mile Butler relay teams.
Consequently, there is little hope of his competing with Cunningham, Venzke, Dawson, and possibly "the Chuck" Hornbostel, Indiana star in the one-mile special race. Sears closely followed Cunningham across the tape in the indoor mile race at the Butler Relays on March 24.
Entries were also received today from 10 Class A Kanass high schools and from 20 Class B schools, bringing the total of 30 entries to date to 20 class A and 41 class B.

Los Angeles, April 11—(UP)—Four men students, quarantined since last Wednesday with 26 co-eds in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority host of the University of California at Los Angeles, were given their hats and to go home yesterday by health department officials.
Four Men Released After Week's Quarantine In U. C. L. A. Sorority
Two formal dances and other social events were held during the boys' enforced stay in the sorority house where they lived. The group was with a mild attack of scarlet fever.
The boys worked at the house as waiters and were detained because of their presence when the quarantine now lifted, was applied.
The four boys were properly chaperoned by two cooks and the Theta housemother.

Committee to Discuss Plans for Parent's Day
Plans for the University celebration of Parent's Day, to be observed May 5 and 6, will be discussed by the program committee at a meeting tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 in Central Administration auditorium. Members of the committee have been appointed by Dean Agnes Husband, general chairman.
Approximately 6500 persons in and around Lawrence went through the "train of tomorrow" which was on display at the Union Pacific station between 8 and 10:30 o'clock this morning. This number did not include the hundreds of others who went down and looked at the outside, but did not have the time to wait in the long line which was stretched for blocks.
The Parent's Day celebration has for the past few years been held once a year, the date alternating between Father's Day in the fall and Mother's Day in the spring thus making the annual celebration an affair for both fathers and mothers.
The new light-weight, streamlined train driven by electric motors, is designed for a maximum speed of 110 miles an hour, and a normal free running speed of 90. The electricity is generated by a Winton 12-cylinder, 600-horsepower, V-type, distillate engine, directly connected to the two 360-horsepower motors mounted on the for-
mature boiler.
The general committee is composed of the members of Mortar Board, Sachem, and the presidents of W.S.G.A., Men's Student Council, sororities, fraternities,
Unusual Crowds Gather to Inspect New Streamlined Train of Tomorrow
Six special committees have been named by Miss Husband to assist with the program. The committee for the dinner: Mrs. R. H. Wheeler and Mrs. W. Koenig co-chairman; J. T. Craig, Baskett, John; Ruth Pyle, Iaise Takel, Ann Kell.
The committee for the tea and registration: Mrs. C. M. Baker and Mrs. Seba Eldridge, co-chairman; Miss Minnie Moodie, Emily Lord, Martha Cameron, Betty Blale, Dale Vliet, Reed Voran, and Joe Dunkel.
Yearly Celebration for Honoring Parents Will Be Held May 5-6
The entertainment committee: Walter Lubam, Beverly Beris, and Clarice Holmes.
At 8 o'clock the crowd about the station looked as if the circus had just come to town—cars were parked in every possible manner, and there was no semblance of traffic rules. University students hurried down before their 8:30 class; school children, with books in their arms, were there; and business people to see the must-talked-of train before they began their work.
The committee on prizes: Meredith Filkin and Walter Elder. On posters: Martha Brownlee and Tom Ryan. Robert Smith will be in charge of the print-

committee.
Plavor Injured in Practice
Devon Lempster, c36, suffered a painful shoulder injury last night during spring football practice. It was at first feared that Lempster had broken his collar-bone, but hospital authorities today announced that torn ligaments and a bad bruise were the extent of the injuries. Lempster is a promising backfield candidate who played some varsity football last fall.
All journal and motor bearings are of an anti-friction type. Compressors provide air for the specially designed pneumatic brakes, which give smooth retardation from top speed to rest. A 25 kw. belt-driven, auxiliary generator furnishes power for air conditioning, battery charging, and lighting. Constant voltage is held on this generator by a new type regulator.
This train, built by the Pullman car and Manufacturing corporation, utilizes aluminum alloys for the body, cast steel for the trucks, and rolled steel for the wheels. The weight of the completed train is about 85 tons, or approximately that of one pullman sleeping car. The cars are articulated with one truck between each two cars. Tubular construction is used, with the entire body acting as the frame. The train is completely stream-lined, as determined by wind tunnel tests on models. The windows are flush with the sides of the car, are sealed, and are of shatter proof glass.
Indirect lighting, air conditioning and the use of noise-proof materials are special features of the train. Form fit- (Continued on page 3)

Politicians Give Views In WREN Broadcast
Brown and Mykland Make Statements on Eve of Election
An idea advanced by members of the "Coalition" party last night was accepted by the Pachacanacs, and as a result, F. Quentin Brown and Gunnar A. Mykland, Oread - Kayhawk and maacae candidate for president, responder took part talks over radio station WREN this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
After two weeks of quiet campaigning in which opposing candidates for Men's Student Council offices offered non-committal statements as evidences of their ability to bring about efficient student government on Mt. Oread. Students were taken away every day and added an element of real interest to the proceedings.
The two major issues of the election Mylkland said in an opening statement are the activity ticket and non-fraternity representation.
The "Oread-Kayhawk party has presented a ticket with a supposed 60 per cent representation of non-fraternity men," he asserted.
"The discrepancy in their claim lies in the fact that 11 fraternity men are up for council positions. In order to make their claim, they have given 8 of 10 class offices to non-fraternity men. These later positions are not representative in function, consequently their claim is fallacious."
In answer Quentin Brown said that he believed that Mykland, to whom he referred as the president of the "Pachacamac political machine," had given a one-sided view of the situation.
To prove his party's point that Oread-Kayahawk has given better representation to non-fraternity candidates, Brown offered the statement that in past years 262 fraternity men have been nominated by Pachaeacam to 62 non-fraternity men. Oread-Kayahawk, on the other hand, he said he run more non-Greek candidates.
Steel Key Holds Pledging
Six New Members Are Taken Into Engineering Organization
Six engineers were pledged to the Steel Key, honorary engineering organization, last night at the regular meeting of the society in Marvin hall.
The Steel Key was organized at the beginning of this year from men who were formerly affiliated with the Merrimarvinmen, a pep organization of the School of Engineering and Architecture. Steel Key replaced the Merrimarvinmen this year as a subsidiary of the Engineering council. Special duties of the organization are to handle the publicity of the engineering school.
New members are to be selected each year from each department of the School. Not more than a total of 30 members will be allowed in the society. The men pledged last night were Lewis Benz, e'36; Frank Neal, e'35; Ted Neyers, e'uncl; George Taylor, e'35; Don Williams, e'35.
The next regular meeting will be held April 24, in Marvin hall.
ALPHA PHI OMEGA DISCUSES
DRIVE FOR MORE MEMBER
The Alpha Phi Omega, national Boy Scout fraternity, held its regular meeting last evening in room 103 Administration building. Plans were discussed at this time for the increased membership drive which is to be held during the annual convention of Robert Dill, c74, Supreme Grand Master, the business of the evented.
Alpha Phi is trying for the national award to all chapters which is to be given at the end of the school term. It aims to enhance activity and membership during the year.
Engineers to Convene Tomorrow
An all engineers convoitation for the purpose of formally announcing the new members of Tau Beta Phi, honorary membership in faculty, will be held tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock in the auditorium in Marvin hall. Chancellor E. H. Lindley will announce the new members.
EGGS AND PAINT BRING 'TERROR' TO HILL VOTERS
Rowdyism Marks Campaign Based on High Principles and Clean Candidates in Student Election
PROFESSES SURPRISE
Mykland Is Shocked But Brown Lays Episode to 'Pachacamac Leadership'
Claiming surprise and regret in the same breath, Gunnar M. Mykland, candidate for the presidency on the Pachacamac ticket, declared his group was innocent and that the mute evidence, which was spattered at the doors of the Greek letter houses, did not point in the direction of his party.
Political vandals using eggs as bombs and brown paint to spread "terrorism," turned the Men's Student Council election Kansas Cityish today as they attacked the strength of the Oread-Kayhawk party. The houses of Delta Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Acacia and Sigma Alpha were "bombed" in a group, were "bombed" by rivals, who the members said, were Pachacamac sympathizers.
Mykland Issues Statement
"I believe," he said, "the Pacachanac party was surprised to hear of this action. We regret very much the occurrence, and we wish to assure the unfortunate fraternities that the party was in no way responsible."
The Oread-Kayhawks thought otherwise, however. They said it was a shame that rowdyism should enter a campaign that had been based previously on sound platforms and pure-minded candidates.
They denied, however, they would send a request to Governor Alfred M. Llander for the national guardsmen to patrol the polling places tomorrow. George Snyder, campus policeman, upon hearing of the attack, said he would watch for high powered motor cars racing across the campus with politically corrupt politicians, but he doesn't expect to see any.
Awake to Find Eggs
The egg and painting episode was the first example of over-emphasized political ideals in the campaign. Previously voters have conducted themselves in a gentlemanly manner, and while they listened to candidates make their campaign promises, not one even heard that a person had kerbed to suppress a sneeze, fearing arrest on the suspicion of carrying concealed weapons.
F. Quentin Brown, Oread-Kayhawk candidate for president, said today
The fraternities, in reporting their nisfortune, said they awoke today to indrotten eggs splattered on the sides if their houses and a brown sign, Beat the Oreads," painted on the porch if the Delta Chi house.
"The egging of Oread fraternities houses last night is tangible evidence of the tactics and attitude of Pachacacan. The Oread-Kayahawk party regrents that this incident has occurred, and it is our hope that this disgrace Pachacacan has inflicted on Pachacacan's "Leadership"; Oread-Kayahawk has been accused of slinging mud, but it seems that the Pacachacans not "only sling mud but also throw eggs."
Speak Over Radio
Campaign activities for today, aside from egg-tossing, included a radio broadcast this afternoon at 3:15 in broadcast this afternoon at 3:15.
As a final effort to rouse enthusiasm and votes for the good old "Liberal" party of the University, the Oread- Kayhawks will have a parade tonight starting at 7 o'clock from the Beta house.
But the parade is only a preliminary event to the main bout, a big rally on the Acacia lawn at 8 p.m. As speaker for this meeting the coalitionists have secured State Senator A. O. Delany, Jr. of Troy, who students will remembrance the victims of the ball against compulsory activity tickets at state institutions.
Senator Delaney, member of Phi Gamma Delta and a graduate of the School of Law in 1922, will give the assembly a number of the evils of the light.
Other speakers this evening will be Brown and Lyman Field, candidate for governor.
The Pachacamacs have no climaxing event planned for this evening. Leaders intimated, however, that they planned to spend the last few hours before election day doing some quiet campaigning.
