TOO MANY FRESHMEN IN COUNCIL POLITICS?
One Only Can be Elected- Yearling President May Call Class Primary
One of the two freshman candidates for election to the Student Council has no chance for election. The constitution of the Student Council provides that "there shall not be more than one representative per student who has been in residence at the University at least two semesters."
Sam H. Perguson and William Rockwell, both freshmen, have had their petitions out for ten days. It is impossible to tell which man announced first, as their petitions were circulated several days before public announcement was made in the Daily Kansan.
It has been suggested that the freshmen hold primary election to choose their candidate. In this way they could concentrate all their voting strength on one man, and the president will be expected that President Donald Harrison will call a class meeting soon to make a nomination.

"The play is a recent comedy, full of action, with an excellent plot. The stage settings are somewhat intricate.

Tryouts will be held in Room 110, Fraser Hall, Tuesday evening, April 14th, at 7 o'clock. These will be the only tryouts and as the play demands for a large number in the catit it is hosed that all members will attend.

FROSH SOUNDLY SPANK
SQUIRREL PRINT SOPHS
By Night "Sixteen" Sows Windy Posters and Reaps Whirlwindy Paddling
SOPH MIXER PLANS GO AWRY
Laird, Evans, and Randolph Made to Remove "Statutes" and Paddled for Good Measure.
"Many go out for wool and come home shorn themselves."—Don Quixote.
Three sophomores, Landon Laired, Melvin Evans, and Albert Randolph, were compelled to submit to a sound paddling shortly after midnight last night at the hands of thirty freshmen, and were made to scratch out posters which they had pasted over the campus bearing "sixteen statutes for fifty frosh." Ewing Scott helped post the bills, but got cold and went home before the freshman appeared.
The sophomores were carrying into effect a plan adopted at the sophomore mime recently. The posters about the size of a newspaper page, are printed in red and black ink, and tell various things freshmen may and may not do. A picture of a brawny arm wielding a heavy paddle, with "16" on it, is printed in red across the page.
In some manner, the freshmen learned of the sophomores' plan. A crowd of thirty collected downtown, caught the sophomores, spanked them, and made them go all over the campus scratching out the signs.
Then the freshmen led their prisoners to the Santa Fe depot, and prepared to ship them out of town. They removed their prisoners' shoes, hid them in the caboose of a freight train, and had the first-year men been able to scrape up enough money in the crowd to pay fares, the sophs would have been deported to Holiday.
Here is a sample of the rules on the poster, which the sophomores say will yet be enforced: "Seventeen! Stand in mute awe before the sophomore," Sturt stands. Sturt Surdges Sovereigns of '16. Secure yourselves, speak no sound, but atop in subordinate submission to your superiors."
