The Kansan has often expressed its dissatisfaction with the seats on the east side but in doing so has objected chiefly to the sun shining in the eyes of the students, making it almost impossible at times to see just what is happening on the football field. The warmth of the sun can be borne, but there are limits to looking into the glare. Winter weather will probably not prove to be a solution. If the sky is overcast it is likely to be raining or snowing; who wants to see a football game then? The writer also states that the student councils agreed to accept the seats on the east side providing the students got places on the fifty-yard line. The W. S. G. A. records might show such an agreement, but those of the Men's Student Council fail to disclose the fact. During the Kansas State game the students' seats were from the fifty-yard line north, which placed the majority on or near the thirty-yard line. Judging from a number of tickets issued for the Missouri game a great many students will be sitting closer to the ten-yard line than to the thirty-yard stripe. Why such an increase in the number of students going to the Missouri game? If it is true that the councils agreed to seats on the east side of the stadium (though the men must have done it unofficially) why did they not advise the students of an action which affected them so vitally? That would have been the only fair way. REPEAL, THE SIGNAL FOR A NEW FIGHT the thirteen-year tumultuous life of prohibition is now drawing to a close. Yesterday Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Utah by popular vote signified their disapproval of the eighteenth amendment. These three states swell the total to the necessary thirty-six required for repeal. There can now be no question as to wishes of the general public because, out of the thirty-nine states that have already voted, only two votes to uphold the prohibitory law. What caused this overwhelming majority to vote against the eighteenth amendment? Many will answer that the voters wanted liquors, merely for themselves; others will say that a great number voted for repeal in the hope that with the return of liquor more money would necessarily come into circulation, many thousands of men would be employed, and business conditions would be generally bettered; still others will say that they voted for repeal because those who wanted to drink had always been able to procure liquor, and the state might just as well sell it legally and collect enormous taxes. Regardless of why, the question of paramount importance now facing the nation is that of control. Some adequate means or plan must be worked out; the people of the United States certainly do not want the return of the open saloon. A BREAK FOR THE BEAUTY QUEENS In connection with the new magazine type of the 1933-34 Jayhawker a new plan for selecting beauty queens has been devised. From each class two queens are to be chosen as representing the most beautiful women, and their pictures will be featured in the issue of the annual devoted to their respective class. Although, like the Jayhawke itself, the plan is new and will be received skeptically by many students, there is no reason why it shouldn't prove much more successful than those previously followed. Each class will be represented, and the danger of all the beauty queens coming from one or two groups is eliminated. The criticism that new women on the Hill were not chosen because they had not become thoroughly acquainted in the short time they were enrolled in the University will no longer hold true. The annual selection of beauty queens has always been criticized on the ground of unfairness in choosing the final winner. This new plan shows that to some extent at least the editor of the Jayhawker is interested in eliminating the element of unfairness. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: I know that most students on the Hill do not care two snaps for school politics, but there are some that get too hot up. To both however: Why not be a liberal something that is seldom heard of? Why go clean crazy over a "party of progress" or a "beat the man" toppling of a political leader, least belong to a "horsesense" party? Why not vote for the best man regardless of what party he belongs to? Why not vote for, in your opinion, the best ideas and the people who present them? Why not hear both sides of things, and reason and see all points of view? But above all, why not try to improve the University by expressing what you want and believe in at the elections? Every thinking student is desirous of improving the University and cleaning up bad politics if they exist. Why not stop small groups of political bosses from running the politics of the University, which they do by bolstering up small groups of students and, in fraternities, by forcing their members to attend school that such things often happen out in real politics where machines run things. Why not start out now to make K. U an example of a school run by straight politics? Why not remember that the straighter the politics and the better the education, because the more the faculty and others at the head of things will listen and reason? Yours, Editor Daily Kansan: K. B.G It is a well known fact that sufficient pressure will cause any object to give. Pachacamac gave. J. C., I am sorry to say, has taken a distinct partisan viewpoint and used this column for political ballyhoo. I have refused to do this. In supporting his Pachacamac friends so openly he has failed to notice facts. He should have honestly stated that the credit for introducing the agitation goes to members of the Oread-Kayhawk party, and to the Freshman council, a distinctly non-partisan group. We need to take width with issue with J. C. on these matters. We leave that to the politicians. I do hate see him so erroneously informed, and I trust he will appreciate my kindly advice. Claude Parish. I happened to notice an article in Tuesday night's Kansan signed J. C. The lad seems to desire to take issue with me with regard to the Australian Ballot agitation. He has somehow overlooked two things. First, the issue under discussion had never been brought up in 1931. I might cite a similar case. Perhaps J. C. blames Harding for not passing the N.R.A. in the depression of 1921. Second, my non-politically minded friend forgets that Pachacamea has had control of the Student Council at the last ten years except for one year. While I do not I presume that he also blames them for doing about this outrageous condition. For the first time, they had the issue at hand last year. However, it seems that not even then could they find the plan favorable.

We overheard several lonesome male students wistfully wishing for a "dog's life" during the rest of the week. The regular mid-week varsity will be held tonight in the Union ballet from 7-8.

When the excitement died down, the senior explained rather caustically, "Mrs. Smith, freshman, is the name of Sarah—the colored cook." But, judging from Duke's appearance A new "most embarrassing moment" occurred to a pledge at the Phi Delt house last Sunday when he was in search for a Mrs. Smith, who was wanted on the phone. He came into the housemother's room where the mother of one of the seniors was being taken to a six of the activities. The pledge had not yet met the sitter. "Do you happen to be my Smith?" he asked. SCHOLARSHIPS: Quack club will not hold a meeting this evening. CAROL HUNTER, President. PLAIN TALES from the HILL Editor Daily Kansan; Y. M. C. A.

The regular weekly cabinet meeting of the Y.M.C.A. will be held Thursday at 4:30 in room 10 of the Memorial Union building. Congratulations, Pachacamac. Truly yours is a sun never set, always rising, advancing, reaching new heights. Your latest manifestation of enlightenment, adoption of the Australian ballot for the freshman election, thrills me. I remember the days last year—when Pachacamac clattered the campus with broadsides swearing that mass meetings were ideal, that the Greek democracy, the purse of the pure, was the democracy they supported by insisting on mass meetings; when "non-partisan" letters were published congratulating Pachacamac on upholding mass meetings against all Oread-Kayahawk opposition; when the Australian ballot was declared unfeasible and ridiculous by the party now fondling it as their pride and joy; when, in the spring, Oread-Kayahawk had a vigorous freshman Australian ballot plank in its platform, while Pachacamac called up chimeraes — while Pachacamac called up (where?) elimination of quizzes near final (how)? free afternoon dances (when?), NS.F.A. meeting (really, and) why?—with no mention of the Aus- And gentle readers, Pachacamac is the glorious founder, promoter, champion, of the Australian ballot! An O-K-council did not establish the Australian ballot; Pachacamac fought it tooth and nail, reviled it, and as hate as five years ago gave it the cold shoulder. Pachacamac congratulations. If Oread-Kayhawk win all future elections, as I surely hope it will, you may sometimes, by some distant possibility, have a fairly sensible platform. A. C.A. DOWDAL H. DAVIS, Vice President. Sunday evening, it might not be so pleasant. Duke was mingling in the crowd down town, free again, but a very, very sick bulldog. Heard in one of these rambling, informal talks that so often precede recitation in a German class under Dr. E. F. Engel. "My idea of heaven," the Alpha Xi de- clared suavely, "would be to take ten hours a semester and change universi- ties twice a year." "Mine," whispered the Kappa to classmate, "would be just to sleep." It seems that a certain young woman, in the School of Fine Arts is prone to forget one of her classes. It was Friday the Thirteenth. The life drawing class had proceeded quietly for 40 minutes. Suddenly this young lady jumped up from her work and gasped, "Is this Friday? Oh, my history of ornament!" One young man wanted badly to ask Amelia Earlart a question the other night. He stood up at least six times and every time he stood up, someone else would. too. And then the snickering around him grew quite audible and he didn't dare rise again. We are wondering about his question. With ten minutes to go, it is needless to say that she decided to remain where she was. "I'm in a fine mood to write an English composition," remarked a coad as she was leaving the theater after the showing of a Mac West picture. HAWAII'S GRID STAR "I'd like to read it," mumbled a young man ahead of her. Here is R. T. ("Ted") Christofferson, famous halfback from Hawaii, who is called the greatest athlete the islands ever produced. He has come to Washington and ensured Washington State university, where much is expected of him.
