Future Elections Are to Be Held in Mass Meetings
Old Report Revised by the Election's Committee in Yesterday's
Session
Tentative reports on student elections were again made at a meeting of the election committee in Fraser hall at 3:30 yesterday. The old report was revised and the results will probably stand as now written.
Only one election will be held during the year, according to the report, and all freshman elections will be held in the spring semester. All school officers will be elected at convocation or a mass meeting, and the student offices of the college will be discontinued entirely.
"We are trying to condense the ballots on future elections," said Charlie Embree, secretary of the state Republican election committee. "Fewen names on the ballot will give a capable man to every office. Heretofore, the ballot has been filled with uncreative candidates that very little to the student voters."
All offices of president and vice president will be filled by men, while the women will elect for secretary and treasurer. The women elected to these offices will automatically become representatives of the W. S. G. A, according to the report of the commission, the captains of the various teams will become ex officio members of the athletic board.
A joint meeting of the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council will be held in the court room of Green hall immediately after the game this evening. Anyone interested in the action of the election committee or asking to join in the discussion, or being invited to attend the meeting.
The members of the committee on student elections are Walter Freeze, Charlie Embree, and Homer Dede from the Men' Student Council, and Helen Buchenau, Ruth Van Riper and Margaret Brett from the W. S. G. A.
Overconfidence Card
Gives Danger Warning
A little card bearing the following legend was scattered widely about the campus this morning:
My foot is on my native heath.
FOUR PAGES
Much speculation ensued and var. explanations were offered. The deep thinking student sat down to explain why it was important that it came, and in general, "what is it?" The first thought which entered his mind is that an attempt is being made to popularize old English verse by giving it a more modern version. He discards this solution because the idea of all consent all consistent with such a purpose.
Our thinker has taken a course in logic and he attempts to build up a train of thought. Wednesday—classes—short periods because of convoitation—basketball—overconfidence—I am the worst! The Missouri game and overconfidence, why didn't she see a connection so obvious? Now he wonders why the attempt is made to impress the student and not the team. He can see one reason; the student body is the victim of the affliction and not the victim.
My foot is on the Tiger's neck. And my name is Kansas.
He now sees what is written between the lines on the little card. It must be a warning, a lurking danger which is being overlooked, not by the coach and team but by supporters. He now has the case complete before him. He notet the warning the Tiger will smile. Take heed and

John Macy Says One Should Read Numerous Books
Literary Critic Is Speaker Before Convocation; Author to Talk
to Doves
"The reader who approaches his book in the same attitude of joy in which it was necessarily written will get the most out of it," said John Macy, of New York, who spoke to the team during the running on "Reading for Enjoyment."
Macy is a graduate of Harvard and an author and literary critic of both American and European repute. "Romanity of America as Told in American Literature" is the title of his latest book. For a previous work, see "The Youth's Companion, and later was literary criticism for the Boston Herald."
"The most important thing in reading is relaxation and receptivity," said the speaker. "The free and easy attitude is the most fruffish, and in the long run brings into our souls, the person who created the lovely thing."
Censorship Should Be Removed "People should be free to room through libraries and choose their reading according to their own tastes. I believe the mind should be so free that all kinds of censorship should be removed from both the creative art and the journal industry that author has made. Any restriction is an offense against the great democracy of the imagination.
"Everyone should be trusted in the freedom to find the creative artist for himself. We must give him. Others cannot determine for us. For better or worse, we must follow."
Macy said there are some people who actually prefer trailby literature, though they have a knowledge of good books. But he thinks that good literature is usually enjoyed, if one is only willing to take a few tips and try it. "A first rate novel is ten times as much fun as a tenth rate," he said. "The Bible is an immensely entertaining group of books, whatever
Creation Causes Joy
"The impulse for creation is fundamentally joyous." Macy said, "or else there would be no art." He said that even our great tragic and bitter works gave a type of joy to their authors, while writing them, and that to fully appreciate this art, the reader must be encouraged by examples which prompted the author to create.
Macy's advice to book-lovers is that they pick out some one appearing corner of the world's library, and live there. "A few good books, well digested and meditated upon, give more enjoyment than merely touching on material."
Macy is a guest of Prof. W. S. Johnson, head of the department of English, during his stay here. This afternoon at 4:30, Mr. Macy spoke in front of Mrs. Anderson of Literature." Tomorrow he will meet with the staff of the Dove.
Trouble Caused by "If"
The production of "IF" at the Bowersock Monday was unknownly the cause of considerable trouble at the theater with the beak theater union.
A motion picture film had been rented by the management of the Orpheum theater, and with the Orpheum theater available, it was not thought necessary to let the film lie idle Monday while the University production was being shown.
When the information that the film was to be shown at the Orcheffum for one day reached the theater union, the managers would have been engaged for the showing. Considering this an unreasonable demand, the management withdrew the show.
Union's Anger Is Roused When Film Goes to Orpheum
The Orpheum theater is not to be reopened, the only reason for showing a program there Monday being to keep the film which is being shown at the Bowersock from lying idle a day.

Students in Industry Y. M. C. A. Movement Indorsed by Council
Delegates to Regional Meeting Discuss Plan for National Unification
It was decided by the council to in-
force and promote the "Studentia in
Industry" movement for the coming
summer.
The Rocky Mountain Regional Council which met in Kansas City, Mo., on Feb. 20-27, one week ahead of the announced date, was attended by "Ted" Shultz, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A, and a member of the Council, representing secretaries of state universities.
The industrial group will be organized in Denver and will run about two months. The program for the group itself will be under the direction of Dr. A. H. Ahe, president of the Denver Labor College, and pastor of the Grace Methodist church in Denver. Those who are interested in joining the summer in studying the labor policies of industry and the labor movement, may see "Ted" Shultz for information at the Y. M. C. A. office.
The Regional Council meeting was called also to discuss with others representing the general Y. M. C. A. movement, the plans that would best provide for the increasing growth of the Department of the Y. M. C. A.
The plan from this Kansas City conference will go to a national conference for consideration along with the plans coming out of the other six regional conferences. Final action will proceed after the report of this committee.
Over a period of years students also student secretaries have increasingly felt the need of a nationally unified student movement. Leaders of other student organizations felt this was contrary to provisions of the constitution adopted in 1924, and have insisted on student work being under the supervision of state committees as opposed to the idea of a nationally unified student movement. In 1928, the Rocky Mountain Region as the unit of supervision, with a staff of three men, States are recognized as sub-areas with the three secretaries located in their respective responsibility for policy working and direction of student work is placed upon the student regional council, which includes representatives from the state committee and other departments of the Y. M. C. A. movement; but a separate committee composed of students, student secretaries and faculty members.
The Kansas situation is extremely difficult, said Shultz, this morning, as the Kansas committee representation at the conference last week was very much opposed to the regional and municipal unity plan that was finally recommended.

Kansan "News Hounds" to Be Friendly Enemie
Senior students of the department of Journalism will be friendly enemies on Topica newspapers Saturday when the reporting III class gathers and writes news stories for the Topica Daily Caridad and the Topica Daily Carnizo, which are divided into two groups, one working on each newspaper.
Will the journal scoop the Capital Saturday, or will it be the other way around? It must be admitted that the two newspapers are competitors. And it has been hinted that either one of the managing editors, Charles Session on the Capital and Arthur Hare on the Horse, should be much pleased, at any time, to give the other the horse laugh on a good sword.
According to the best newspaper tradition, the journalism students must try Saturday to beat their compartmentals. But it sometimes happens that so-called rival reporters put their heads together, when the bosses are not looking, and make the job of操场 co-operative enterprise. This practice is frowned upon by concessionaries managing editors. Neither Mr. Session nor Mr. Carruth will stand for a hard day for the cubs in Topeka.

French Play Date Is Set
Department Students to Give Drama March 12
A French play, "Le Philochois sami se lavorio," will be given by the students in the department of French in the Little Theater in Green hall.
This play is one of the best exames of "it drama," a type of drama that arose shortly after the middle of the 18th century. It portrays J. A. Hess, of the department of romance languages. Although France styled it the Age of Enlightenment, it could better be called the Age of Sentimentality. Frenchmen wept at every mention of virtue, and one man also weeps for the call for mothers rather than laughter.
At this time a style of drama standing midway between tragedy and comedy, and setting forth the virgin story of domestic life, was introduced.
Briefly, "Le Philosophie sans la Savon" presents the problems which beset a successful business man on his way to college when his son has arranged a duel for the same hour, because he thinks his father's boner has insulted by a young officer. Out of this situation taxes all the old stone's rest.
The cast will be announced later.

Senate Receives Appropriation Bill for Institutions
University Gets More Than Two Million Dollars; Rosedale Funds Separate
A bill appropriating $7,490,250. of which $8,401,000 will go to the University of Kansas, was one acquired by a private school and ways and moons committee. The appropriations are for the five free educational institutions of Kansas. The bill cuts $877,700 from the budget. Other appropriations for the last biennium.
University Allowance Increased
Separate appropriations were also made for the School of Medicine at Bosfield and provides a total of $120,000 will be used for new buildings.
University Allowance Increased
Appropriations for the University of Pittsburgh have followed: $21,490,000, with $1,408,000 in 1928 and $1,183,000 in 1929. This represents a total increase of $15,000 over two years ago and calls for the construction of a new Snow hall at a cost of $290,000. Appropriations to also make up any decrease of the new machinery equipment.
The Snow hall appropriation is $20,000 less than was recommended in the budget. No change is made in the appropriations for noninfrastructure services and repairs. This note was included in the Missouri appropriations.
"If some relief is not granted for the salaries and the maintenance in the University, the few required of the University students will have to be readmitted," said Chancellor K. H. Lindley, this morning, dismissing the cut in the budget by the ways and means committee.
Medicine School Gets $545,000
Medicine School Gets $45,000
Appropriations for the University of
Colorado as follows; $43,500, with $72,500
for 1928 and $82,500 for 1929. The salary appropriation is $140,000, maintenance is $80,000, and the repair is $5,000. This represents a total of $132,000 each year. Also an appropriation of $200,000 will be used in building Bell Memorial hospital, and another $100,000 will be used in building a new nursery home.
The feature of the apportionment, even more significant than the building it mares, is that it ends the ration for the abandonment of the School of Medicine at Boston and moves it to Lawrence. There has been lengthy discussion as to the place where the hospital should be located. The campus capitol center offered more advances to the medical student, while others have attended the advantage of the smaller city.
Chancellor Administers Funds. The funds for the School of Medicine will still be administered by Chancellor Lindley and although the School of Medicine will be under careful supervision, independent of the University. The two-year medical course will still be taught at the University.
The buildings granted by the school for the School of Medicine were essential for the carrying on of this mission, and a special legislature to recognize the hospital at this session would have been a no more blow to the project, it is presented by members of the faculty, who have maintained the Residence hall.
