SOPHOMORES WIN INTER-CLASS MEET
Second Year Men Take Contest by 3-7 of a Point
TWO K. U. RECORDS BROKEN
Reber Puts Shot 42 Feet, Three Inches—Rodkey Lowers Half Mile Two Seconds.
The sophomore won the fourteenth annual inter-class track and field games on McCook field, Saturday afternoon by scoring 50 4-7 points. The freshmen came second with 49 4-7 points, a more 3-7 of a point seperated them from the junior. The juniors scored 30 points, while the seniors were last with 23 3-7.
Two Kansas records were shattered at the equest. Bonnie Broke broke the shotput record when he hurled the iron ball 42 feet and 3 inches. Rodkey, a freshman, clipped two seconds off the half mile record by reaching the tape in 2 minutes and 2-5 seconds. Rodkey will receive his letter and sweater for breaking the record.
The meet was pulled off without interruption and was fast for an interclass event. Bonnie Reber, the sophomore giant, was the individual star. Reber won the shotpot, discus win, and the hammer win. Perry scored ten points for the seniors by winning the low and high hurdles.
Several races were close and the small crowd saw a few fast finishes. The prettiest race was the two mile event when Malcolmson nosed out Harriet, the freshman runner, and won by a foot. Russ, the freshman vaulter, cleared the bar at 11 feet but failed to break the University record. Russ raised the bar to 11 feet 7½ inches but tipped the stick off each time. He divided the event with Campbell.
The Summaries:
The last event was the broad jump and this event was thought to decide the meet. Hamilton, a sophomore, won third place and apparently raised the sophomore score 3-7 of a point ahead of the freshmen. Later it developed, a mistake had been made in the pole vault results. K. E. Jones, a freshman, took fourth in the vault but this position was held by junior Jones. When the mistake was given to the point was given to the freshman and this pont won the meet for the first year men. Final score: sophomore 50 4-7, sophomores 50.

That we, the members of the Disciples of Christ Union of said University, in meeting assembled representing 200 young students from all areas of our students in the University of Kansas, deeply deplore the impression created through the address of Chancellor Roth, and take this opportunity of expressing our confidence in the University of Kansas and in its attitude toward the moral and religious life
Whereas, his charges were base upon isolated instances of moral laxity on the part of individual students, and in no way adequately represents the moral atmosphere maintaining at the University of Kansas, therefore

ENGINEERS PUT BAN ON NEW-FANGLED DANCES
Following a meeting of the Engineers Friday, President Dingman announced that the program for the Engineer's annual dance would include only the old fashioned dances. The Engineers took this action following a request by Mrs. Brown, that students of the School of Engineering take a stand for better dances and cleaner dancing.
Marvinites Will Adhere to the Old-Time Steps, Dingman Proclaims
"It will be too bad, just now, if the sophomores do not come up to the standard set by other organizations," said Mrs. Brown, when asked what was the stand taken by the Sophomore Hop committee in the matter.
"In deciding the question of ruling, out some of the dances I do not ask the students to take a stand against any one dance, but against the positions taken by many of the dancers which is unpardonable and is a violation of polite etiquette," said Mrs. Brown.

AGAINST ABOLISHING STUDENTS' CONTROL
Chancellor Does Not Favor Doing Away With Popular Government
RULE INVOLVES SELF-DENIAL
Things
Council Must Be Willing to Come up to Rack On the Unpleasant
"Young men must remember that fundamentally student government is not different from any other government. If it is perpetrated on the one hand, you take care of these cases of student discipline better 'han anything else.'
"I would hate very much indeed to see student government break down," declared Chancellor Frank Strong this morning.
"Student government will not work unless the Student Council and the students are willing to come up on the rack on the unpleasant things. Staff denial is necessary for any government must practice it, too."
"They must be willing to put aside personal feeling and personal advantage. It is absolutely fatal for someone恶意 the person you stand contrary to law and order.
"Student government must be tolerated and supported by the most influential members of the student body. They must be strong enough to have their decisions absolutely complied with.
"For myself, I hope that our experience this year will bring us to a realizing sense of what student government means, and a willingness to put law and order and the best interests of the University before any personal or class feeling and advantage.
"If this could be done I, for one,
"would be willing to see that decisions
of the Student Council that are based
on law and order, and that are fund-
amentally justifiable, have the back-
ground of the entire University authori-
ty."
ATHLETIC ELECTION THURSDAY
Student Council Advances Date Because Candidates Are Slow In Announcing Themselves
The date of election of members to the Athletic Board was moved ahead to Thursday at a special meeting of the Men's Student Council held Saturday morning. Petitions for nominations may be turned in to President Leslie Dodd up to Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock.
The reason for such action was the small number of candidates that had been nominated.
President Dodd also wishes to call attention to the fact that nothing has been done about the freshman candidates for the Student Council from the College. He suggests that either the freshman class or the College hold a caucus and select one of the candidates.

Hazen Didn't Place
