THE ISSUES PRESENTED
The University Daily Kanan, as smokeman for the University as a whole, of course cannot be expected to promote the interests of any candidate or set of candidates. Its loyalty is to the University as a whole.
Thus far in the student campaign, The Daily Kansan has been endeavoring to present the facts of the campaign in a manner as impartial as possible, excluding arguments of the opposing parties, and printing only such things as seemed to constitute news.
However, to sum up the campaign, and present the arguments of the respective parties, The Daily Kansan today set apart two columns, one for each party, wherein recognized spokesmen for the party may set forth their pleas for student support of their candidates.
Campaign Managers Urge Men To Cast Vote Right
The Kannan urges all to study the issues and then to vote for the candidates who, in their judgment, will best interest of the Uttar Pradesh government. *Adaldee Adkide*,
It was a nice meeting we had at Myers Hall last night. The boys on both sides ought to be well pleased.
Although the round tagers had formally refused to answer, they were there and they did answer. And they very fair, too—both sides were fair.
Of course there was the Reconstruction candidate who referred to "our gang", but that was a more civilized group and he at once corrected himself.
Voorhees was impartial in painting a word picture of K. U. corruption—corruption existing not only in the game, but also on the athletic field, and elsewhere. He struck unaparently both Pachaemia and Black Mask machines, and a hearer uninformed as to his party who had been a Gold card which he was talking for.
The fact is, *Voorhees* wasn't talkin' for either machine or either ticket—he was talking for K. U. H. she was for men, not tickets or platforms.
And speaking of platforms, it's just as John Tracey said: "Of course the platforms are the same—they ought to be. This school would be mighty poor if they weren't. But the real issue of it is in office in which the voters believe most capable of putting these common platforms into effect."
Editor-in-Chief
The Crimson and Blue campaign has been and is in the open. That's why John Tracey says this and means that he doesn't want the basis of what I am or am not. Don't fight me through another man. Even my opponent has admitted in a personal conversation that this roundabout method has been carried too far.
Who's Who
That an all-round athlete like John Bunn is the ideal athletic board man? That Gib Swenson's series of edits to his book helped put the new constitution over?
That the Student Council needs men like Early Chestnut who are working their way through school?
Letty Farrell, who spent two days locked in an Agglievie fraternity house on his tris to help retaliate for the painting up of the K. U. camp, made a good impression last night with his sample of cheer-leading. His职责
Junior engineer, Pittsburgh; business manager Kansas Engineer, engineer-law debate; member of Pi Upsilon, Shibu, Abhix, Tau Beta Pi (president), Sigma Tau; delegate to national Tau Beta Pi Convention. On May 17, two days after war was declared, served two years in regular army with 2nd Engineers, 2nd Division, sergeant, was wounded and gassed.
The record of John Tracey, who is characterized by the Reconstruction ticket as “practically unknown,” shows school and University activity in such a phrase seem strangely out of order. Here’s his pedigree:
And that Everett Bradley, America's premier all-round track man, wears the Crimso nand Blue?
Junior law, Pratt; freshman and varsity baseball squads, freshman football squad, volunteer miner, never missed an athletic contest or has been named captain. Kappa Phi, Delta Theta Pi, Kuku Klan. Service record: enlisted in Co. H, 137 Inf., two days after war started, transferred to aviation and was for 2 months instructor in fly-skating. This year's bears scars, is licensed pilot.
Do You Know
Campaign Manager
Guy Daniels and "Sandy" Winser, heading the "Reconstruction" ticket, are not tied by any of the so-called political machines. They have not heretofore been implicated in any school elections, and stand upon their merits and accomplishments in classes and student activities. The entire composition of men who have not been implicated in so-called "politics."
The Reconstruction Ticket of twenty-eight candidates offers the voters of the University a chance to cast their ballot for a better student government, for a greatly increased student spirit, for a greater K. U., in athletics, and for cleaner student-managed activities.
The University of Kansas has been on the up-grade since the opening of school last September. A greater spirit of clean support of clean athletics, and fair student management and backing of conservative reforms by authorized bodies, has not been demonstrated in the history of the institution. Reforms in the form of a new student constitution, a revision of the university's athletic policy, and deplorably in existence during and since the "good old days" referred to with such fervor by our opponents, are well under way.
Student "graft" is entirely suppressed by the auditing provisions of the new constitution, which the Recon- tentant should carry out and enforce strictly. The majority of the members of the present student council, which has made possible these reforms through the reconstitution, are behind the "reconstruction" ticket.
The Y, M. C, A. buncheons, greatly enlarged and formed the nucleus of the "Thundering Thonand" during the athletic seasons, form an important part of the "Reconstruction" platform. The man who originated and helped carry out the plan, is a strong "Reconstruction" supporter.
The "Reconstruction" men pledge themselves to boost with all their might the stadium and commons movements in an effort to have a stadium with a capacity of 20,000 in time for the Missouri-Kansas football game on
A freshman advisory system, with an upperclassman assigned to advise and help every University freshman, will be planned by the "Reconstruction" ticket
Thanksgiving, 1921. They believe that a huge student common building would be a strong factor in developing student spirit, and will work with the "Million Dollar Drive" committee or any other committee in an effort to put both stadium and commons across.
Freshman Olympics to be held at the Homecoming football game each fall will settle the question of freshmen's role in the regime of the "Reconstructionists."
COMMITTEE SURVEYS
FOUR STADIUM SITES
Active support of every progressive student movement is pledged by this student organization to the voters tomorrow to judge of the personal worth of the candidates.
And finally, the "Reconstruction" ticket wishes to make a public statement of entire confidence and support of the athletic administration "Phog" Allen. They believe that during the present school year of 1919-20 in spite of undeniable poor showing in results of games, that more spirit teams than any other given Allen's teams than any other in the war. They believe that time is the only quality not now present in Kansas athletes to turn out winning football, baseball, track, and basketball teams. They believe that "Phog" Allen ought to be entirely unrestrained to this to-
Selection of Location to be Made Probably Within the Coming Month
We believe that the voters will recognize the ability and seriousness of the "Reconstruction" candidates on a straight, unsurretted ticket tomorrow

Finance Plans Considered
University of Washington Raised Half Million By Selling 5-Year Tickets
A site for the proposed stadium and athletic field at the University will very likely be selected some time within the next month according to a statement today by Prof. C, C. Wiliams, of the School of Engineering engineering committee that is making surveys and drawing up the plans.
Professor Williams said that four sites had been surveyed and that the selection would probably be one of these four. Nothing definite, however in the selection of any particular site has been done he said.
The four sites surveyed which give the best prospect at present area for potting plants were Potter's Potter's lake plot, the plot just south of Potter's lake, and the plot on the south slope of Mount Oread. As soon as the site is selected, work of drawing stadium plans will then start. Professor Williams said we are not a dealer would be conferred with before and after the site is selected. He estimated that it would take most of the summer in drawing up the de-
sights for the proposed stadium. No definite plan for financing the stadium has been settled, but there is one under consideration which was announced by the University of Alabama in raising funds for their six stadium which is to be built before the Dartmouth game next November.
They will build a huge U-shape concrete and steel stadium, a combination of the Yale and Harvard colleges with $600,000 and will seat more than 60,000. When the campaign for funds was started there was $100,000 already available from the funds provided by the University. The remaining $600,000 was raised by a sales campaign conducted throughout the state by the Washington State Chamber of Commerce and the students of the University.
The project was financed without donations. A limited number of seats in the best sections were sold for terms of two and five years, each purchaser being presented with an inestructible plaque with the name of the graver thereof. This plaque serves as a reference for *a* particular seat to all events held in the stadium for the next two to five years.

The journalists fail to grasp the idea of placing "KEEP OFF THE GRASS" signs in places on the campus where the heels of those who have gone before have already removed all traces of grass.
When spring arrives in our young lives, the talk of occupations we have to face' and give some space in student conversations. A few weeks yet and well all get a train right homeward bound, and find a job out with us. In summer, while we go round, while we just dance and take a chance as an good student do; yell and scream while our brave team is licking old Mizzon.
But now demand is near at hand for workers for the summer; the harvest calls "Don overall! the crop will be a hummer." Some fowl will heed the harvest need, and earn their daily bread, but more will find a lesser grind while Dad pays the "overhead."

SENIORS WILL ERECT MEMORIAL ON CAMPUS
Class of 1920 Decides to Pur chase Base for Kaunas Pioneer Statue
The Senior class in a meeting today decided upon the recommendation of the Memorial committee, to erect on the campus, a base for the Kansas History Museum. The second floor of Dyce Museum. A definite vote was taken after several different proposals had been forwarded by George Montgomery, chairman of the Memorial committee, and generously discussed by various members of the class.
Several felt that it would be especially fitting in view of the "Put K. U. First." and Stadium drive to conduct an extensive advertising and publicity campaign throughout the state. The objection was raised that this could hardly be regarded in the light of a permanent memorial to the class.
A joint meeting of the memorial committee and the committee on buildings and grounds will be held in the spring. The statue will be placed. The base of the statue will be of black granite, and will be purchased from the proceeds of the theater play and by individual assessment.
The committee appointed at the last meeting to inquire into cost of invitations does not have complete evidence as yet of its findings, but will make a definite report at the next meeting.

HOT POLITICAL FIGHT IS ENDED TOMORROW
Eligibility Committee Rules out Morrison and Patterson in Council Race
Peppy Meeting Last Night
Candidates Speak on Issues of Campaign Before Large Audience of Men
Today marks the close of one of the hottest political fights for many years, and the final wind-up of pre-election propaganda will come tonight when the various candidates will visit individual voters by the "personal work" system.
Voting for the candidates will take place Thursday from 9 o'clock to 4:30 o'clock. The engineers will vote in the basement of Marvin Hall, the Collegejers, Pharmies, and Medics will cast their ballots in the basement of Snow Hall, and the Laws will vote in Green Hall.
Women are allowed to vote only for College officers. There is a woman running on both tickets for a College position, much interest is being manifested.
After checking over lists with Prof. H, C. Thurman of the eligibility committee, Basil Church of the Student Council found but two of the men ineligible for office that they seek. He asked the College to request for Council Member from the College and Edward Paterson who is seeking election from the School of Law to the Student Council were declared ineligible because they have not been in the University for three semesters required by the eligibility committee.
Both tickets met in Myers Hall Tuesday night for a discussion of the issues of the campaign. The meeting several hot arguments developed.
"K. U. First," was the theme of the speakers of both tickets and both pledges themselves to a better K. U. Program. John Tracy and Claud Voehres, of the Crimson and Dine ticket, mules their plea for a fight on the true worth of the candidate and not upon the character of his award supporters. Guy Daniels, of the Dine ticket, replied with short speeches pledging their support toward a better University.
The meeting was closed in true Jay. hawk style by singing the Crimson and the Blue, followed by a roaring Rock Chalk led by Carl Winsor and Lefty Farrell, candidates for Cheerleader.
SPEAKS ON PHILIPPINES
Dr. Marquardt Says Opportunities for Teachers in Philippines are Splendid
Opportunities in the teaching profession in the Philippine Islands were attractively described to students in the School of Education Tuesday afternoon by Dr. William Marquard, Marquard University, the United States for the Philippines. He has, himself, taught fifteen years in the Philippines.
*Teaching in the Philippine Islands offers a splendid outlook both in the matter of salary and promotion. Promotions will be made strictly on the basis of merit to the highest positions and records of service show rapid advancement of all qualified apprentices.
"As regards transportation, the person's passage over is entirely reearn contract. If he wishes to refunded at the completion of the two turn home between the academic years, award for two or three months and then give the teacher to cover expenses of a return journey.
"I am getting 175 instructors in the United States," said Dr. Marquard. "I still need fifteen more teachers and two have already signed up from the University of Kansas. Several more expressed their desire to take up this work but were not of the required age in the contract. The contract specifies that the man must be a graduate, and woman twenty-five years old. The new teachers will first start out in the secondary schools but will be quickly advanced upon qualification to the University of the Philippines."
Miss Allen Resigns Instructorship
Miss Hazel Allen, instructor in the department of home economics, who been on leave of absence during the 19th has resigned as a member of the faculty of the University.
