GOOD DOG FIGHT
STOPS PICTURE SHOW
Movie Star Petrensed Them?
Movie Star Estranged Them?
People are not the only civilized animals who have their "movie" favorites or wage war without regard to the neutrals.
The proof: Two lonesome bachelor curs slipped into the Varsity Theatre Monday night to pass a pleasant hour or two watching the agony of The Thief. Before long they started swapping opinions on the relative beauty of the star and the clock and the thirst about one half minute war had been declared and the neutrals were in the thick of the fight.
A girl broke her umbrella, a man broke his cane, and the dogs broke up the show before the fight was declared a draw. After order had been restored the management showed its thoughtfulness by throwing on the screen, "After the fight both dogs appear to be all right."

STATE SUPPORTS MICHIGAN
Mill Tax Enables University to Get New Buildings
The University of Michigan, often called the "mother of state educational institutions" owes its success and growth in the most part to the mill tax that furnishes for the university a steady, permanent income. Since the mill tax was adopted, the wealth and resources afforded according to the increase in students until at the present time, the university occupies 30 buildings for its 500 teachers and 6232 students.
Because of the excellent support that is given it, new buildings can be arranged whenever needed. The Hillman building largest one to be constructed, while a new science building is in process of erection. Next year two residents hatch for women will be ready for use, each one accommodate more than 150 women.

WHITE CROWS WOULD HAVE
TWO GENERAL ELECTIONS
Secret Society Suggests That all Contests be Merged in Fewer
Days
The White Crows, the very secret society, have proposed a plan for the merging of all election days into two general election days, in a communication to the Daily Kansan and the Student Council.
Reasons for deeming that fewer elections were beneficial to the people; are these?
The White Crows say: There seems to be an over supply of election days at K. U, to the casual observer. The University investigation it has seemed that the best interests of the University might be conserved by combining certain of these elections into two separate groups in the spring and one in the fall.
[3] 2. The present system results in constant campaigning for some elections throughout the whole year which does not make for the best in scholarship nor for the conservation of the best interests of the school.
1. It would tend to divide school honors, for it is not probable that any individual would run for more than one office on a single election day, thus preventing one man from running for three and four offices during one year as is frequently done. The limiting of election days offers a practical means of aiding the point system.
3. Two elections would bring out a larger and more representative vote. At present the class elections in the fall and the council elections in the spring are as a rule the only ones to receive careful consideration. The college election is almost a farce, and scarcely any of theuni-fied women have a large vote on these now sighted elections would mean a larger and increased interest on the part of the students.
4. Two general elections would tend to destroy much of machine politics, for there would be too many candidates and offices in the field for the manipulation which the scattered election days make possible.
For these reasons particularly two general election days would, it seems, work for the good of the school and for this it is respectfully requested that the council investigate the possibilities of this plan. The elections which could easily be grouped are those of the class elections, Jayhawker election, law school, engineering school, College, athletic board, Women's Student Government Association, and the Men's Student Council.
