RELAY STICKERS DESIGNED
Stickers for the Kansas Relays that year have been decided upon. There will be three types of stickers. A large, nine-inch-in-diameter sticker, will be used on ears; one five inches in diameter will be used on bagger; and the type to be used on letters will be about one inch in diameter.

Economic Trends Changing
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1934
Tendency Toward Controlled Internationalism Says Professor
Madison, Wis., March 14—The economic tendency of the day is gradually swinging toward a controlled form of internationalism was the opinion expressed by Prof. Chester Lloyd Jones head of the commerce school, in a special interview With The Daily Cardinal.
Stating that any attempt to generalize the republican party's philosophy as being one of internationalism and the Democratic party's one of economic nationalism is too extreme and should be modified, Professor Jones said. "The Democratic party has not set itself on a policy of economic nationalism. There are different ways in which the party and perhaps contrary influences in what efforts the party is now making to pull us out of the depression.
"President Roosevelt's declaration in favor of fewer tariff obstructions and special reciprocity treaties (under the control of Mr. Peck) certainly do not indicate that the administration is backing a policy of unqualified nationalism."

There will be two debates between the two teams, one of which will be held at St. Mary's College in Leavenworth.

C. A. C. games. However because of some tech-technical Conger's mark never was recognized.

As a sophomore in the fall of 1921 he competed in the Sooner-Jayhawk two-mile team race run between halves of the course and won by 30 yards here and won by 20 yards from Warren "Pus" Moore, diminutive Sooner, in 9 minutes 46.6 seconds.

Council Approves Plan of Student Study at Capital
government Understanding to Be Promoted by N.S.F.A. in Washington Trips
Approval of the National Student Federation of America's plan for giving worthy students of universities and colleges in the United States a chance to secure a working understanding of the federal government was voted by the Men's Student Council last night.
The plan as suggested by Chester H. McCall, assistant secretary of commerce, would provide government appropriations for 200 students to be chosen beginning in 1935 to spend the summer months in Washington, D.C. During this time the students will be addressed by leaders of governmental departments and will be given a chance to observe the workings of the various groups. It is the belief of the National Student Federation of America in sponsoring this project that the influence of such students will be of great benefit in raising the general standard of government.
The committee for the selection of the head cheerleader was with the addition of seven. Organizations now having members upon the committee include Men's Student Council, W. S. C. A. Mortor Board, Ku Kui's Jaya College, Ku Kui's Jaymond Nichola, executive secretary to the chancellor resigned from this committee recently.
Adding several new sections, the Council listened to the first reading of the revised constitution of the group. In its most recent form the constitution includes all former amendments with clauses covering situations previously unsettled. Among the suggested changes was a provision making men enrolling in the University for the first time as a junior and having been enrolled for a semester eligible for membership on the Council. Succession of the vice-president to the presidency in case of the vacancy of the latter was included, and arrangement made for members to serve out terms after a change of schools in the University during his term.
Fetter Gives Senior Recital
Pupil of Geltch Is Head of Violin at Ottawa University
Everett Fetter, a candidate in June for the master of music degree and a pupil of Waldenar Geltch, professor of violin, appeared in a graduate recital last evening in the central Administration auditorium.
The opening number was the Vivaldi A Minor Concerto followed by the major offering of the evening, which was the Beethoven Concerto. In both these numbers Mr. Fetter showed an individual style of playing and an assurance of control that put the audience at ease. In the Beethoven Concerto the Cadenzas introduced were written by Mr. Fetter.
Following the two concerti, the program was lightened somewhat by the closing group, a Romanza by Wilhelm; the Spanish number, "La Gitaana," by Kreisler; and the well-known "Tambourin Chinois," by the same composer.
Mr. Fetter is head of the violin department of the Ottawa University, and several persons were present from the President and Mrs. Warren P. Behan.
The annual meeting of the State Home Economics association will be held Friday and Saturday in Wichita. Those planning to attend from here are Viva Andersson, Elizabeth Barry and all professors of home economics.

Postmasters May
Sell Liquor in Bottles
Only, Says Farley
Washington, March 15.—(UP)—Postmaster General James A. (Call-me-Jim) Farley says he doesn't want any of his postmaster selling liquor on the side unless they sell it by the bottle. Farley has ordered that;
"No postoffice, or branch, or station of any postoffice shall be located in a room where intoxicating liquor is sold to be consumed on the premises or in any room directly connected there-with."
The omissions in this order indicate that Farley has no fault to find with general-store-keeper-postmasters who elect to sell legal liquor by the bottle together with groceries, shoes, and other things.

W.S.G.A.Election Attracts Crowds Of Women Voters
Approximately 400 Ballots Cast by Noon Today; 13 Offices Are to Be Filled
By Howard Turtle, c'34
The women's student election, held today in the Administration building, attracted crowds of women students to the polls this morning and this afternoon to elect next year's W.S.G.A. officer. The 53 candidates nominated in a mass meeting at the University auditorium last Monday.
By noon today, officials at the polls estimated that about 400 women had cast their votes, and that several hundred more would have voted by the time the polls were closed at five this afternoon.
Definite information as to the way the election was running could not be had today. Rumors of "favorites" and "dark horses" were running rife among the women students, but no hints as to the probable winners of the election were known. Some of the undercurrents of rumor were both contradictory and fragmentary.
Accusations concerning mergers and combines among certain groups on the Hill were being made today by opposing factions. In regard to this question Lila Lawson, c34, president of W.S. G.A., said that the women's council would make an investigation of the matter immediately after the election if there seems to be sufficient evidence of a combine to justify probing into the question. Just how the investigation would be carried on she did not say.
Counting of the ballots will be begin immediately after the polls are closed at 5 o'clock this afternoon. W.S.G. A. officials today stated their belief that counting will probably be over between 7:30 and 9 o'clock tonight.
Officials at the polls said this noon that the number of students voting this year was about the same as it was last year.
