Burnett Elected to Council Place Despite Protests
Denton Contends Filling of
Two-Year Vacancy
Last Night Is
Illegal
No. 173
Melvin C. Burnett, c'34, was elected to fill the unexpired term of the two-year representative at-large from the state university and served as the student council last night.
The meeting had progressed nicely until the names of the applicants for the vacant office, Walter Simmons, e34 and Burnett, had been read. Then Harold Denton, e33, president-elect of the new council objected that the name could not be voted on because of a pro-bition in bill three of the constitution
The quoted part of the constitution was to the effect that petitions must be given before the council can take action on them. Whereas the deadline for the petitions was yesterday Denton can be taken at that meeting of the council.
Election Proceeds
Russell Strobel, T32, president of the council still in office, asked Denton why attention had not been called to the infraction at an earlier meeting. Other members of the council held that as petitions had always been considered in the case of infringement, the council were being considered they should proceed with the election.
A motion to that effect was carried over Denent's protest that a mistake in the past did not warrant a mistake in the case at hand. The constitutionality of the action of the council in last night's election will be referred to the advisory board of the council and to the head of the political science department.
Installation Date Not Set
Denton seemed confident last night that the new council would be in office before another meeting of the council and that his council would be allowed to select the man to fill the vacancy that he contended, was filled unconstitutionally at the meeting last night.
Virgil Crow, c. 33, head of the committee on arrangements for the installation of the new council when asked after the meeting when the date of the installation would be, stated that it was the intention of the committee to put the new council in office as soon as possible. Strobel, standing near, amided when the reporter asked if it was tended to wait until the board had taken action, the election of Crow reiterated his first statement.
Directory Issue Settled
The Council last night also delved into higher finance and settled up the student directory trouble. It was voiced in a letter to Ms. McIntyre that the contract for the supplement in full
The council held that the contract let to the World company for the main directory was too high. They set the value of the contract at $445 and appropriated funds sufficient to pay off the contract on that basis.
A statement could not be obtained from the World company today as to whether they would accept the amount approved by the student council. O. W. Maloney, who handled the contract said that Dolphin, the world's largest World company, would have to make any statement. Mr. Simons was out of town for the day.

Pursuit of Arts Tones Life, Says William A. White
Emporia Editor Tells Own Experience in Training His Musical Faculties
'STUDENTS ARE SAME'
According to Chancellor Lindley, who introduced Mr. White, he is an "artist with words."
"To follow understanding any of the arts will tone our civilization down to a mellowness, replace the too predatory quality of life as it is today, and bring a realization that truth is beauty and beauty is truth," said William Allen White, editor of the Emperor Gazette, and author of the Fine Arts convention this morning.
Mr. White described the way in which his musical faculties were developed. He began by blowing into a shell and being pleased with the noise; made whittle-wishs and pumkinpain stems. He played a comb, Jew's ear, as he did the percussion finally, upon his first interest in the opposite sex, picked at a guitar.
Called Square Dances
His smilingly told of his difficulties with a cabined-organ, the next step in his musical education, and now me, at the age of 16, played with a cornetist and a blind fiddler at square dances, which was to help him master his ability at calling square dances.
But, in spite of his humorous treatment of his own musical ability, Mr. White says that music or some other art will bring rest and peace and appreciation of beauty which we need today. He believes that his generation, which was graduated 40 years ago, has achieved much in a material way, but that it has spent too much thought "to realize that he has been" that Mr. White's generation erected have not made the present civilization really successful, he said.
"The business machine today is stalled, in the ditch, with the chauffer petrified, and not even our leaders know what is the master." Mr. White
Student Body Immortal
"Today we have the leisure to learn to enjoy Fine Arts, and the beautiful things of life." Mr. White said. "If we teach children what matters most instinct, so that the great wealth here is in the world will be more fairly divided, we will have put the necessary superestructure of spiritual things on the foundation my generation built for us," he said.
The student body is immortal, according to Mr. White. He thinks that it zeros just the same, only slightly increased, as in his day. He has seen many changes come to the campus, and, as a member of the Board of Regents, has been instrumental in effecting many of them.
Cello Solos Presented
The conventation was opened by group singing of America, the repeating of the Lord's prayer, and announcements by Chancellor Lindley.
