Councils Approve Change in Control of Activity Book
Senate Must Sanction Bil Before Students Will Hold Majority in Regulation
The proposed amendment to the constitutions of the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. was passed last night at the meeting of the Council. The W.S.G.A. voted and passed the bill Tuesday night. Under the amendment a student committee will administer the details of the student activity book, placing the student body in a position to control to a certain extent the administration of the activity book, because, as the bill reads, there will be a majority of students on the central committee on activities.
A
The amendment was presented to the Chancellor this afternoon, and will be taken up by the Senate, where it must be approved before it will come into full effect.
Administration Designated The bill reads:
"Be it enacted by the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing association of the University of Maryland, that the following reads as follows: The central committee on activities composed of the dean of men who shall act as chairman, the dean of women the president of the Men's Student Council and the members of the Men's Student Council appointed by the president, and one other man from each political party present; the president, and one other member of the group selected by the party organization; the president of the Women's Self-Government association and such other members of that organization as approved by the committee; the president of the organization, the number of such women appointees not exceeding the number of men students'; the president of the Union Operating committee or his representative, the chairman of the Enterprise Ticket committee, the Bursar and one other member who they shall act as president of the activity fund thus created subject to the provisions in Section 7 of the bill, and to make any adjustments in the distributions of the funds, and the history of the activity ticket administration.
All Appointments Not Made
"That this committee shall also supervise the handling and printing of the booklets; that such books should be by the various activities in proportion to the amount of the fund they receive."
All the students to be on the committee have not as yet been appointed. However, Kurt Riesen, president of the Men's Student Council, has appointed Katherine Schultz and James H. Christy, b34, as the two appointed representatives of the council.
Kurt Riesen, president of the Men's Student Council, and Robert D. Hartley, b34, were selected at the council meeting as delegates to be sent to the national convention of the National Students Federation of America. The convention is to be held in Washington, D.C., from Dec. 27 to Jan. 1. It was at the previous meeting of the council that they decided to affiliate with the Federation, which is an organization composed of the student governing bodies of the leading colleges and universities of the United States.

Hankins Talks on Poetry
“Poetic ideas seldom come from concentration, in the usual sense of that word,” said John E. Hankins, professor of English, in a lecture yesterday entitled “The Writing of Poetry.” An audience of approximately 150 persons heard the address which was delivered at 4:30 p.m. in Fraser hall.
"Most poets agree," Professor Hankins said, "that their best ideas come without volition during periods of daydreaming or idle fancy, when they follow rather than direct the course of their minds." This point the lecturer illustrated by references to Dante, Chaucer, Coleridge, Longfellow, Poe, Keats, Goethe and Schiller, each of whom has written from ideas conceived either in dreams or when the mind was wandering in a vague, unguided path.
The lecture was divided into four parts: The poetic idea, the poetry of words, the rhythmic sense, and poetic color. In the third of these divisions the lecturer made applications of rhythm to every day life. Among these was an example of the changing rhythm of a departing train which Professor Hankins illustrated by tapping the beats upon the lecture table.
The story of the discovery of the 90 different substances which make up our material world, and which are known to scientists as chemical elements, has been put into narrative form for the first time by Miss Elva Irwin, assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy. Of these 90 substances, 30 have been discovered in the last 35 years.
WEEKS TELLS OF DISCOVERY
OF 99 CHEMICAL ELEMENTS
Miss Weeks was aided by Miss Mary Larson of the department of Zoology who translated the Swedish manuscripts, and by M. K. Elias of the state geological survey, for the translation of Russian literature in the course of the late E. H. S. Bailey and Dr. Selma Gottlieb of the department of chemistry who read portions of the manuscript.
Who is the Hill's "most alluring coed" this year, and who, pithree, is the fellow girls are wild about, that "most fascinating he?" it's still a most question, says Paul Woodmannae, c34, editor of the Sour Owl, which is sponsoring a contest to determine who is justly entitled to claim the honors.
Contest Is Underway For "Most Alluring Coed" And "Fascinating He."
But, Woodmance asserts, it won't be long until the question is settled. Votes are steadily coming in, and by the time the contest closes Saturday night a goodly number of students will have expressed their opinions in the matter.
But though the deadline is 6 p.m.
Saturday, the winners will not be
announced until the Christmas issue of the
new Yorker its appearance on the campus
Dec. 18.
Woodsmance would give no definite information regarding leaders in the contest today, beyond saying that it is still anybody's race.
Most fraternities and sororites cast their votes last Monday night. Those who have not yet balloted are asked to do so immediately and send or bring the results to the Sour Owl office in the Journalism building.
Any student regularly enrolled in the University is eligible to vote in the contest. Persons living in unorganized houses, however, are requested to sign their ballots. Votes must be in by Saturday evening to be counted.
Pictures of the winners of the contest will appear in the next number of the Sour Owl, together with the tabulated results of the vote.
Last year Crosby Seymour, c34, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, was chosen "most alluring coed," and Paul Harrington, 34, member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, received the most votes for "most fascinating he."
Coaches to Hold Meeting
Basketball Mentors Will Consider Officiating and Substitutions
A meeting of basketball coaches of the Big Six will be held Sunday at 10 a.m. at the Kansas City Athletic club, following the meeting of directors and faculty representatives at Excelsior Springs, Friday and Saturday. The meeting was called at the instance of Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics and basketball coach at the University of Kansas, and representative on the national rules committee for the fifth collegiate district.
Anwers were received from four of the other coaches, accepting the invitation for the meeting. Coaching and officiating problems will be discussed at the closed meeting. Starting at 1:36 p.m. an open interpretation meeting will be held for coaches, officials and others in
Coach George Edwards of Missouri has suggested the desirability of a second official in basketball games, saying that incipient fools as the ball is tossed at center, unnoticed by the single official, would be retaliation and greater fools later.
The question of limiting substitution lists to four, as was the case last year, is a bit more difficult.
Members of the Jayhawk football squad have been invited to attend a Rotary club dinner to be given in their honor here next Monday evening. Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletes, re-organized the Rotary Club Washington, D.C., just after the Kansans had defeated George Washington University, 7 to 0, last Saturday.

Football Deaths Decrease
Associated Press Survey Show New Rules Cut Number of Failures
A survey conducted by the Associated Press this fall of football casualties shows that the number of deaths attributable to the gridiron sport declined in comparison to the peak years of 1621 and 1652. Twenty-six deaths occurred with fowld in this year as compared with 50 in 1831 and 38 last season.
There were no variaity deaths in college football although five freshman players died from injuries received in practice and games. The deaths included 10 "doubtful" deaths were divided as follows: college, 5; high school, 16; sand lot, 13; semi-pre and athlete grades; of the casuusuit was a 33-year old girl

Delta Zeta Asks Refund of Taxes Paid Before 1933
Fraternity Assessment Argument Is Reopened When Greek House Protests
The sorority wishes to apply the money previously paid on the 1933 taxes that are valid, according to the supreme court ruling.
The fraternity tax situation which had been pending in the courts for several years and which apparently was settled last year by a legislative act, interpreted to mean that the fraternities were exempt from property taxes during the years 1930, 1951 and 1932, was brought up again yesterday at a meeting of the county commissioners, when a representative of the Delta Zeta sorority filed for a refund of taxes paid during the time that the court declared exemptions were in order for organized houses.
Examination of tax records of Delta Zeta in the office of the treasurer of Douglas county, today showed no indication that taxes paid during the year 1930 were marked "paid under protest", nor were any of the other fraternity organization receipts marked "protested" as the law now requires if taxes paid under protest are to be refunded. Only taxes that are paid accompanied by a legal protest acknowledged by a notary public and stating the particular instance of error in taxation are recognized by law as a basis for refunds, according to officials at the treasurer's office.
