Voting Students Should Register, Professor Warns
Approximately 1700 Eligible to Cast Ballots for President Next Election
MANY ARE NEGLIGENT
Of the seventeen hundred University students who are eligible to vote in the presidential election, approximately 425 of them may be prevented from casting a ballot next November by allowing students to F.H. Guild, head of the Department of political science, pointed out today in a conference with student leaders of the major political groups on the campus, in which he urged that all students of voting age should sue to have their votes counted. This number is based on results of past years.
"A study of elections has shown that, in general, 25 per cent of the persons eligible to vote cannot do so because they have neglected to fulfill the registration requirements," Professor Guild explained. "Many good citizens are kept from voting merely because they are negligent in this respect."
Procedure Explained
"Students may register at any time by applying personally at the office of the city clerk of the city in which they live until 30 days before the date of the election, and those who do not live in Lawrence should register as soon as they go home for the summer vacation." Professor Guild advised.
To Cast Absentee Ballots
He explained that it would not be necessary for students who live in cities other than first and second class to register nor will it be necessary for students who have already voted at a regular election, in their precincts, as Kansas has a system of permanent registration.
"Since most students will be unable to get home to vote next fall they will have to cast an absentee ballot and thereby the voting procedure becomes a little more difficult." Mr. Guild said "It will need some extra effort to give the name and number of the precincts in which they are registered and the best time to get this data is at the time of registration when they will be given a white card with this information on it. Then we will carry out the school next fall, but we cannot perform the task of registering them," he added.
No.189
Professor Guild's statements were made in order to give advice to voting students as an initial step in a systematic program of the leadership development to prepare the students to vote in the presidential election next November. "One of the most important parts of the voting procedure is the registration, yet it is the process that needs to be performed as one of their duties of citizenship." Professor Guild said.

Selection of New Japanese Premier Causes Comment
Saito Chosen as Compromise Between Political Parties and Militarists
FIGHTING INTENSIFIED
Washington, May 24 —(UP) The political upheaval in Japan and intensified fighting in Manchuria combined today to refocus the state department's attention on the rapidly shifting drama of the Far East.
The question now being asked is will this compromise satisfy the military element or it is an intermediate step leading to military control of the nation? The answer depends on moral interests have partially restrained the extreme Nationalists.
Selection of Admiral Saito as premier of Japan to succeed the assassinated Irukiwa, was regarded here as a compromise between the extreme militarist element and the weakened political party system in Japan.
The business elements have feared the effect of world condemnation of Japan's campaign in Manchuria and in North Korea, and so stood that some of the Japanese military leaders say that manasu as the world has turned a "cold shoulder" thw world may as well be disregarded (and would be defeated) to dictate the extent of parts of Asia.
Aside from the political situation in Tokio, dangerous conditions in Manchuria are causing concern here. Consul general George C. Hanson has informed the state department that the city of Harbin is "closely surrounded on all sides by the capital and the regimen of Henry Pu-Yi." About 55 Americans and $3,425,000 worth of American property are in the city.

The possibility of sponsoring a musical comedy next year will be discussed at the final meeting of the W. S. G. A. Council, to be held in December 15 tonight. The Unisphere has been made in the budget of next year for the annual presentation, but since the Council is reducing the budget considerably, this feature may be eliminated. Further plans for next year will also be discussed.
The music is of historical value showing a class of music popular in the United States about 1850 to 1869 before much creative talent was developed. The most famous composers of Europe had reached any cities except the largest.
The music shows high type of engraving, with many of the covers elaborate pictures of various scenes, some in color. Included among the piano numbers is "The Battle of Waterloo" and dedicated to the Duke of Wellington.
There are several of Stephen Foster's melodies included, such as "Ellen Beyne," and "Old Folks at Home."

Students Advocate Honoring McCook, Donor of Baseball and Football Field
But there is one name that has been forgotten in the last few years and that name is Colonel John J. McCook. Colonel McCook belonged to the family of fighting McCooks, well known in the Civil war. In later years he was a prominent lawyer in the East, but his real prominence as far as the University is concerned was in 1890 and 91 when he gave both his names around where the Stadium, tennis courts, football practice field, and baseball diamond are located might become part of this institution.
Two sites of ground were under consideration as being suitable. One site was just east of Mount Oread, which was then a level strip of vacant lots, owned by Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas.
In 1890 and 91, much enthusiasm was aroused among faculty and students over the buying of an athletic field for the University. Year after year Kansas had won football recognition. A field at the university (now Fourteenth) streets was used, but the owner asked a big slice of the gate receives.

Died From Motor Car Injuries
Ft. Scott, May 24-(J) M. D. Eunn,
f4 died today of injuries received when he was struck by a motor car.
The University had no money however to buy an athletic field when an unexpected benefactor appeared. Colonel McCook who was an ardent sport follower and who realized the need of an athletic field gave $1,000 to the cause.
A committee was appointed with Professor Canfield, later Chancellor of the University of Nebraska, as chairman. Many favored the location just east of the university, and the present site was decided upon, and named in honor of the donor.
The field slope toward the east and much grading and rolling was necessary before it could be used. Colonel McCook added a donation almost equal to the first so that gravel might be the result, but that a grand stand might be erected.
The donation was formally presented to the University at the 1891 commencement exercises.
At present the baseball field, the tennis courts, and the football practice field have no title. In the writing of athletic stories it is inconvenient to refer to these places as the baseball diamond, the tennis courts or the practice field. But further than this, I imply that this beneficiet be recognized.
A number of students are asking the Athletic board to consider strongly the naming of the baseball diamond McCook field, the tennis court, McCook courts, and the football practice field, McCook practice field.

Waited for W.S.G.A. Action
Russell Strobel, T33, former president of the Council, in an interview this morning said that the action of the Council was unwarranted. "Seeming unreliability on campaign and election have passed and that political publicity bordering on mud is a little out of place. Denton should remember that last year many bills were paid by the new Council which were contracted for by the old one. This is the usual procedure and the next to impossible to do otherwise."
Walters explained that the N.S.F.A. dues had not been paid because the Council was awaiting action by the W.S.G.A. That organization was contemplating withdrawing from the N.S.F. A, and the Council wished to wait for that organization's decision before the dues were paid.
At the meeting last night the Council awarded the student directory contract to the Douglas County Republican. Only two bids were presented, one from the Republican and the other from the World company.
The World bid was $3.95 a page for the main directory and $1.40 a page for the supplementary directory. The publicum was $4.45 a page for the main directory and $3.20 a page for the supplement-
