VOLUME XXXI
April 12 Is Chosen By M.S.C. As Date Of Spring Election
Revision of Constitution Under Way; Key Presented to Twenty Councilmen
Spring election for the Men's Student Council will be held Thursday, April 12, it was decided at the meeting of the Men's Student Council last night. This will make the election about a week later than it was last year. According to Kurt Riesen, president of the Council, this decision was made because of the Easter vacation which would break into the campaign.
The revised constitution was read and passed for the second time at last night's meeting. It had previously been read and passed at the last meeting, but must again be read and passed at the next meeting and be submitted to the administration for approval before it can go into effect.
George Souk, ph, was appointed to fill a vacancy on the election committee. Other members of this committee are Lloyd Metzler, chairman; and Lloyd Lane.
The main changes in the new constitution allow junior college students to be elected to office during the first year they attend the University; 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.
Another provision establishes a pep committee composed of one representative each from the men's council, the W.S.G.A., Sachem, Mortar Board, the K club, the Jay James, and the Ku Ku's to elect the cheerleaders. This will eliminate the faculty members who formerly had voted on this committee.
Student council keys were given to the following members: Bob Hartley, b34; Walter Simmons, c34; Paul Black, gr; James Smith, c55; Lydell Mozert, c35; Carmer Lindsay, c34; Gunner Mykland, c35; Lloyd Lane, c35; Bill Ramey, c35; Alfred White, c34; Clay Otte, c34; Reynolds, c34; Harold Irwin, 134; Carmer Weatherly, gr; Boh Shater, fa 35; Glenn Cammingham, ed 34; James Christy, b34; and Bill Avery, c35.

This issue will be the largest to date and offers a number of attractions including the Junior beauty queen Lanny Ross, of radio and cinema prominence, has already made the selections Other attractions include a complete social fraternity section, a ten page division, an adult amphitheater, a date, the junior class section, a R.O.T.C. section, and a general organization division.

University Student Shuns Opportunity to Fly Around the World
It is bad to be feeling that you might be getting the mumps, but it is worse to know that you have just passed up a new job around the world with Jimmie Matter.
Such was the situation in which Louise Erdman, 'cunl', found herself after a long distance phone call from Chicago had awakened her with this unusual opportunity yesterday morning.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY. MARCH 27. 1834
Miss Erdman had not been feeling well and the girls in the house had been joking with her telling her that she was getting the mumps. Yesterday morning at a quarter till six the phone rang insistently until Miss Erdman answered it and was informed that Chicago was calling.
"Hello." It was Jack Powell, a friend of Miss Erdman who plays in Frankie Masters orchestra.
"Jimmie Matter is flying around the world and is taking me with him. He wants some romance for the trip and I want you to come along."
"I don't care about the mumps; get on at train and come to Chicago," inestimably
"Oh, I can't, I've got the mumps," protested Miss Erdman.
It was a temptation, but Miss Erdman resisted the chance which will probably never come again. It seems that Jimmie Mattern is going to try to do the same thing as Mr. Powell and wanted Miss Erdman and Mr. Powell to go along to furnish publicity.

camac
By Arnold Kretzmann, c'34 Kansan Political Writer
As the first major surprise trick of what promises to be a whirlwind campaign, the Pachacamac party today announced, with buttons bursting from its collective vest, the reception into its ranks of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, an Oread stronghold for the last three years.
In a week's time the big announcement, unmarried by answering statements, is calculated to soak deeply into the skins of men voters.
Changes Planned Last Week
Changes Planned Last Week
According to the story of "Rising Sun" leaders, several representatives from Pachacamac met with a committed from the Phi Psi house last weekend, and plans for the change in party affiliation of the fraternity were made then.
"Most of my best dancers come out of the middle west." Mr. Shawn stated. The Detroit News on relating Shawra's appearance there Jan. 14 says, "Mr. Shawn and his quartet of men have the rare quality of virility. There is much more to them than grace; they have something to say and they say it with bass voices." Mr. Shawn himself is a
Homer Jennings, c'34, president of Ph Kappa Psi, issued the following blance and disarming statement this morning "We have no particular fault to find with the Oread party, but for the last few years there has been a divergence of opinion within the house regarding Oread policies. For the sake of unanimity we felt it desirable to make the change."
Was Originally Pachacamac.
Hil Kappa Psi was one of the original members of the Pachacamac party, but after years broke away, and later became common parlance of the Bloed Party. In 1930 the fraternity helped found the Oread party and was generally known as a powerful member of the organization.
Ted Shaw, one of the foremost interpretive dancers of America, was a visitor in Lawrence today. While here he was a guest at a luncheon given by Elizabeth Dunkel, director of the women's physical education department, and Robert Haig, instructor in the dramatic art department.
Shawn is not only known in America but in the Orient where he worked and studied for many years. At present Mr. Shawn and his ensemble of men dancers are touring America. Concerning this trip, he says, "I want to develop interest toward men dancing by showing them the difference between masculine and feminine movement."
Dancing of Ted Shawn and Company Combines Masculine Virility and Grace
And Gunnar Mykland, c35, president of Pachacamac, had this to say in be-half of his party, "Pachacamac is glad to welcome Phi Si into its ranks."
So now after many years of wander-
ing the Phi Psi return to their first
campus, they are necessary to
mention, they are being heartily
received with open arms.

Mr. Shawn carries with him five other men and their program consists of music numbers, primitive themes and religious dances. One number that is especially acceptable to most audiences is Shawns's impersonation of Spain. In acting as an actor is utilized to the extent that the audience is deeply thrilled.
Shawn's last appearance here was in 1931. Plans are now being made for his return to the University next year. Other guests at the luncheon besides Miss Dunkle, Mr. Shawn and his group, and Mr. Haig, were Mrs. Boman of Topeka, Mr. Dunkle, c'36, and Ruth Pyle, ed'34.

Thirteen of the Michigan points were scored by Ward, colored runner, who tied the world's record in the 60-yard dash. Hall of Kansas was so close to Ward at the finish that there was some doubt as to who had won.
Cunningham's mile was low, 4.179.
Sears of Illinois led for the first three quarters, then the world champion opened up and finished so far in front that Sears merely trotted across the finish line.
Lost Baton in Relay
Dees tied with Cook of Illinois at 48 feet, $7\%$ inches for a new meet record. Gold watches were awarded for first place in all events, and the two shot put winners tossed a coin for the prize. Cook won, Dees proposed throwing the shot again, to settle it by action, but Cook held to his privilege.
The results of the mile relay determined the Jayhawkers' final position in the meet. By an unfortunate occurrence in the passing of the baton they lost the chance to beat out Michigan. Hall ran the first heat and finished with a 10 yard advantage, but he and Schroeder failed to click smoothly in passing the baton and they lost 25 yards. Schroeder came up fast and passed the stick to Graves in fifth place. Graves continued the comeback and started Cunningham in second place. Cunningham finished the last lap only five yards behind the winner. Two heats were run and the Jayhawkers' time placed them in fourth position for the race.
Coffman tied with three others at 13 feet, 4¼ inches in the pole vault. White was eliminated at about 13 feet. Although the points for the winners were evenly distributed, lots for the watch and second, third and fourth medals were drawn. Coffman drew the fourth place award.
