Entered at central, ascii or December 17th FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1932 THE DAILY KANSAN ASKS Yesterday an election was held to select members for next year's Women's Self-Governing Association council. Last night while the votes were being counted by ten senior members of this year's council, the Kansan received telephone calls from both men and women, asking how the returns were coming in. The University Daily Kansan a non-partisan organ, is the official student publication of the University. The Kansan sent a reporter to the place where the votes were being counted. The reporter was refused admittance to the room and was denied any information as to standings of the candidates, as far as they had been checked. No reason was given for this action, but from other sources it was found that ballots were also being checked in an effort to find if there were any "combines" operating to influence the elections. It would seem that despite the extra checking for possibilities of "combines," there is no reason why the student body should be denied information concerning democratic elections through its own organ, the University Daily Kansan. State and federal ballot-counting places are open to newspaper reporters. What reason can the election committee of the W. S. G. A. give for denying results of this election to the student body as fast as the ballots were checked? SWEET OR LOWDOWN Many people have stated the fact that the newer dance music has turned to the slower and sweeter tempos. The "hotcha-hotcha bo-do-de-o-do" music is supposed to have been stacked back in our family closet as another skeleton of our whims of early life. We are, in other words, supposed to be going back to the quieter days of the opening of the century. We doubt a lot of the assumptions. Probably one writer made a success of a slower and more sedate song, and then the others copied the idea and did their best to get on the band wagon. The crowds still like "hot" music. The "St. Louis Blues" is still called for. Even the "Tiger Rag" is stamped to in greatest appreciation. FRATERNAL SCHOLARSHIP The scholarship report of the fraternities and sororities at the University of Missouri for the past semester is something of a surprise. For some reason it is commonly believed that women are the conscientious, greasy grinds, so to speak, but that the men are the ones who really get the most from their college educations. Contraint to these beliefs, out of the nineteen fraternities at Missouri, sixteen did not have a failure. The sororates were not so fortunate, however. Ten of the women's organizations did not have any failures, but four of them lost their social privileges because of failures. Figures do not lie and before you is the data. The fraternities are evidently superior, because of their larger number and the smaller number among them reporting failures. No report was given as to which ranked the highest, men or women, as far as grades alone were concerned, but the survey speaks well for Greek organizations, particularly during this time of the tax dispute, when there is so much controversy as to whether the organizations do promote study. No fraternity or sorority could exist for social life alone, and certainly that is not the aim of universities. Greek organizations are an outgrowth of school life itself, and most of them are founded on the ideal of scholastic achievement. THE ADDRESS SYSTEM Professor F. H. Guild, in a statement printed elsewhere in today's Kansan, declares that in his opinion it is still possible to guarantee that the W. S. G. A. election has been held under the Australian ballot system despite the presence on the ballot of the address of the voter. He further explains his statement by saying that if no use is made of the address and if this action is certified by the election committee the spirit of the rule, secrecy, has been compiled with. Professor Guild has expressed the feelings of a large number of women on the campus when he says that while it is obvious that there is no method of checking up on actual cohabites without letting down in the secrecy of voting, it is apparent that the committee having promised the women of the campus a checking system, has acted in the best faith. He believes that the committee is justified in its action through the understanding of the principle in advance. Yet in spite of the promise of a new election, should a combine be found, a petition signed by a majority of the organized houses on the Hill declared the election illegal and demanded that addresses be clipped from the ballots. Complying with the wishes of the Hill as designated by their petition, the election committee has counted the ballots without addresses and has thus thrown away any possible show-up of a combine which might have existed. Whether in failing to uphold the system they evolved the committee took the correct action, is questionable. The committee, however, acting as it did, has done so only after a thorough consideration of the matter from both sides. It acted in good faith in evolving the check system and it has worked in good faith in clipping the addresses from the ballots cast. The matter is an unusual one and the legality of the election is difficult to determine. CANCERS OF SOCIETY The tragic rioting in Michigan recently bears striking testimony to the malignant political uses to which Communists and other agitators are turning the misery caused by the depression. Five of the marchers who stormed the Ford plant paid with their lives for the antics of the agitators. Numerous others in the mob and in the Dearborn police squad which battled with them were injured. Any plan for relief which the bona fide unemployed may have entertained was summarily defeated; all because of the vicious machinations of a few men, who transformed a supposedly peaceful demonstration into one of bloodshed and death. The Dearborn fasco is a characteristic climax to the efforts being made all over the country to forge trouble and rioting among the jobs. In Chicago, where relief work is difficult enough at best, Communists have been doing their bit by interfering regularly OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIX Friday, March 11, 1932 No. 129 Notices due at Chancellor's office at 11:30 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11:30 a.m. Saturday for Sunday issues.

KAYHAWK CLUB: (1.11) MacDOWELL FRATERNITY: MacDowell fraternity will hold its next regular meeting Tuesday evening March 15, at a o'clock in the rest room of central administration building. Members from the design and painting department will have charge of the program. PUDOLPH WENDELIN. PRACTICE TEACHING: Why is it that many students throw away their morals upon entering the colleges and universities? There is a simple reason for this. When the student is under the influence of the home he often is given his religion in the same manner as that in which he was fed sulphur and molasses as a child. He is not allowed to solve a single problem with which he is faced. All students who wish to do practice teaching in Oread Training School next fall should make application for such practice teaching before March 19 in room 103 Fraser. R.A.SCHWEGLER, Dean A brief business meeting will be held on Monday at 4 p.m in room 9 East Administration building. At 4:30, a play "The Hypocrite" will be presented When he enters college the innocent young man learns to think for himself. He is given an opportunity to think a little about God. If he has been fed by the force system he takes the opportunity to leap up to the other extreme. If the student has merely absorbed his religion, however, he will probably follow the path that he has been following all along through his young life. PSI CHI: with wild scenes over false accusations of spoiled food being distributed. Any genuine aid that was being sought by the first "jobless army" which marched on Washington last fall was doomed to failure beforehand by the vicious attitude developed by the leaders. Demonstrations a and street fighting are frequent in almost all the larger cities. The lot of the unemployed is filled with misery enough as it is, without additional woes being thrust upon them. There is probably much truth in this statement. Many young people who leave religious homes turn atheistic in their thoughts and beliefs after a few months of college life. Many, of course, continue to live their life of "night-cousness." FORCE FED RIGHTEOUSNESS Colleges and universities have been attacked by churchmen as being hoods of atheism. Many college students, it has been claimed, abandon faith in the existence of God soon after entering college. The religious teachings that they have learned in their homes are forgotten. california Daily Bruin: MODERN EDUCATIONAL "LUXURIES" Our Contemporaries If an editorial note the reduce budgets on which many American colleges will be forced to operate in the next few years, the Chicago Tribune recently highlighted the tumultuous "summptious living accommodations for students on the average college campus," *Money has been flowing to the colleges too freely*, accuses the Tribune, "Much of it has been spent in building, which has added超过 overheated costs with exponential return in educational value." This comment, while holding some truth, is hardly fair. The large increase of students in American colleges since the 1960s has led to rapid expansion to take care of students desiring higher education. In some cases, the increased budgets have been badly made, and the value rewarded not proportional to the expenditure. But in spite of this fact, American collocates are operating on meager budgets compared to the amount needed. In 2013, the college's little closer into the finances of the states. In New York state alone last year, 87 percent of the students spent on education and approximately twelve million on the care of the insane. Similar comparisons might be made. The Chicago Tribune pictures the modern undergraduate living in luxurious apartments and the comfort of the modern world. The writer has evidently not been near an American college for many years. He earned a B.A. from West Point, less than fifty per cent of the American college students are at least partially self-supporting, while a large number are --or for the party, nothing lends the holiday touch like a fancy brick of our Shamtook Ice Cream. Although the modern undergraduate does not rise at four-thirty, cut wood tables are standard. They drive four miles to school, he nevertheless is hard put on several occasions. Simply because some old-timer, who studied by candle-light made good business in the early to mid-19th century, hardly an industry. Then they succeeded. They don't have autos in those days, either but try and find a business man now that has autos in a horse-wagon. These people, who were denied modern conveniences, succeeded, not because of their failures but in spite of the notoriety the media put on system these same people, endowed with their natural ability would probably have been even more successor for the party, nothing lends the holiday touch like a fancy brick of our Shamtook Ice Cream.
