Holliday Elected Mayor Yesterday by Small Margin
Defeats Mitchell in Heavies Vote Ever Recorded Here in City Election
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1924
F. M. Holliday was elected mayor of Lawrence yesterday, as a result of the heaviest vote ever cast in a city election here. Out of the 5188 votes cast, Holliiday received 2614 votes, and his opponent, J. H. Mitchell, 2574, Holliarty winning by the margin of 40 votes.
I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the results at the polls yesterday. I do not take it, however, entirely as a personal compliment. The trend of modern political thought is against the old political ring and its methods of securing preference in elections. I regard my election as an indication of the conduct of my campaign. I have made no apology to any class combination or clique. I simply put it up to the individual voter, and I am pleased with his decision.
The newly-elected mayor made the following statement to the Kansas morning;
"I shall be mayor, and shall be mayor of all the people. I ask every citizen who has the welfare of the city at heart to get behind my administration and do what he can for the advancement of our city, morally, financially, and economically, with greater reason to be proud of our town. The heavy co-operation of all will assure our mutual benefit."
The voters of Lawrence were unusually interested in the recent election. At many polling places the doors were open, a large that it was necessary to form lines, and vote it in turn. Interest in the election even resulted in police action at the West end grocery polls. A worker who failed to heed the warning to keep the door open, asked the policeman asked to comply with the law by policeman.

Not only has the mouth been unusual in temperature, but the precipitation has been unusual in virtue of the large amount of snow.

Many Headlines Lie,
Says Burris Jenkins,
Minister-Journalist
Former Kansas City Editor Tell Journalists About Dangers of Proparanda
"Distortion of news is the greatest crime of the newspaper of today. Many newspaper headlines do not tell the truth," Dr. Burries Jenkins of Kansas City, minister and journalist, in a speech given before a group of students and faculty members in the institutional building yesterday afternoon.
"The head of a newspaper occupies a position of high esteem, and is considered one of the most powerful persons in a community where the policies of the paper are of high standard. But I believe with Upton Sinclair that the invisible goverment makes itself aware of newspapers. There are only a few that stand pat and print what they should.
"A great wave of propaganda swept the country in the attempts made to settle the great war. This was mostly manipulated by commercial interests. The universities stood firm for idealism, but the country as a whole followed the press propaganda."
Dr. Jenking continued, "The world has never paid for education, art, or the toll of brainy men. Newspapers are educational, although sometimes they have become their enemies. They are often rightfully termed the 'university in the alley.' If men are in educational work, studying art, or are engaged in the newspaper business for the sake of rendering to render they will win out."
Summer Bulletin Issued
Complete Catalog Will Be Ready for Distribution Soon
The preliminary bulletins of the summer session are off the press and are being distributed from the office of the director. The complete catalog describing the courses offered will be ready for distribution soon.

"The teacher placement work is going on at a fast rate. Many superintendents and principals of high schools called at the office during the month to implement it to improve instructors, and not many professive teach."
Professor Johnson will use small convention stickers as a means of advertising the summer session. These stickers will be put on much of the outgoing season, and they are used for the stickers is one by Frank A. Cooper, fa2'6, and was chosen from several submitted by students in the fine arts department.

Large Audience Hears Recital by Combined Clubs
Kansas and Washburn Gle
Singers Give Program
in Auditorium
at Topeka
Approximately fifteen hundred people heard the joint concert given last night by the men's glee club of the University of Kansas and Washburn College, in the city auditorium in Topoka.
The program was equally divided between the two clubs. Each club presented three choral groups, interspersed with ternor, baritone and bass solos, a reading by E. P. Serivier of the University club, numbers by each club's quartet, a piano solo by Cris Simpson, a organ jazz joint and an organ solo by Beth uelle Gross, Washburn's accompanist.
Audience Enthusiastic
The audience enthusiastically received each of the sixteen groups on the program, and was generous with applause. When the matter of having a similar program next year was referred to the audience during the latter part of the program, the audience was unanimously in the affirmative.
The climax of the program was a joint rendition by the two clubs of Griege's "Land-Sighting," under the direction of Prof. Theodore H. Post, director of the Washburn club, and a folk song, "The Ring and the Rose," under the direction of Prof. A. Larremore, of the University club.
"Joint Singing Beautiful"
Of these numbers the Topka Capital says: "This joint singing was very beautiful. The increase in voice was purely a qualitative increase; it was no assurance; the juncture of the two clubs was as certain as the juncture of notes in a chord."
The program presented a wide variation of numbers, running from sentiment to humor, from pure melody to pure harmony, from the simple ease of folk music to as complete sophistication.
Martin Hall, tenor; Earl Miller, bass; G. Crisz Simpson, pianist, ame; P. S. Servirian, reader; represented musicians on the program. Incidental solos were handled by Kenneth Miller, John Barstow, and Ray Wright. The K. U. quintet was composed of Robert Toningt, Martin Hall, Ken E
Concert a Success
"The success of this initial effort assures that the joint concert will in all probability become an annual event." The principal purpose of the undertaking—to promote a better understanding between the students and alumni of the two schools—needs to have been attained.
The sixth senior recital of the School of Fine Arts will be given by Eva Mae Lee, pianist, Wednesday evening, April 21, in Fraser Hall. Miss Lee will be assisted in this recital by James Lawton Bennett, tenor.

Kansan Cannibals Bawl Out, Behead and Burn Guests
Commendatory Epitaph to O'Leary; Chancellor Is Awarded Prized Brown Derby
The second annual Gridron Banquet of Sigma Delta Chi -razzberry festival with a peer-was put on last night in Wiedemann's Grill, prominent representatives from the Hill, the town and the state were present and submitted their necks to the guilloline without hesitation.
After the guests had marched in and found their places at the beginning of the affair, members of $S_{bb}$ nn Delta Chi formed on the stage erected in the lobby. The lights were turned out and while a gridiron burned before the chapter, Chester L. Shaw, president, said a few words of welcome and presented a future over to Lloyd "Hlan" Hamilton, Supreme Roastmaster.
The Kings Were Sorry
We were sorry.
Theoneforth even came thick and fast. Sigma Della Chi had a telegraph instrument and an ornate room, and telegrames of regret from King George of England, the king of Tasmania, Jack Dempresse, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Kux Klan and the Pope were read.
Next, four Sigma Delta Chi alumni who now work on the Kansas City Kansan were called to the bar of justice. Joe Turner, Ray Dyer, Jim Hogin and Camille Noho, who had sent their admission fees in the form of 108th pennies, were given a trial for the case. They went their way into the affair with money from a gentler tender. Judge C. A. Smart, Lawrence attorney, sat on the bench; Prof. M. T. Van Hoecke of the School of Law was prosecutor; and Dr. W. L. Burdick conducted the defense. Members of Sigma Delta Chi formed a jury and brought in a verdict of equity. Judge Smart awarded Sigma Delta Chi judgment in the amount of $12.43, for a collect telegram sent to Raulmaster Hamilton by the four defendants a week previously.
Bruner Gets A File
Then Van K. Bruner, proprietor of the Lawrence Steam Laundry, was called to the Roastmaster's table. He was presented with a huge file and a nail-studded board,—tools that enable him to tear up shirts and put saw-tooth edges on collars more effectively.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the English department taught the first journalism course at K. U. 20 years ago. Professor Hopkins was told that he was responsible for the existence of Sigma Delta Chi here; and that, furthermore, he was responsible for all of the horrors being perpetrated at Giridan Enquoit. He was decrased in 1957 and then at Union, which decoration he wore around his neck the remainder of the evening.
Prof. J. L. Wheeler of the mathematics department is University marshal. He was presented a huge star, a "billy" in the form of a baseball hat, and a cap pistol as emblems of the authority of the "law."
Then Chub Fraker and Jack Hefling, students, were called to the fire. Rousseastmaster Hamilton informed these young men that Sigma Delta Chi sympathetic with them for their long stay at this institution, and received a degree. He presented each with eight large, yellow service stripes to be worn on the left arm. And he promised Fraker and Hefling that if they were still at K. U eight years from now they would be right more stripes and would, in return, be retired on a pension.
W. C. Simons, publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, was presented with a teapot. Mr. Simons was informed that his publication had carried an advertisement for teapots in a certain issue, and he was charged, therefore, with complicity in the act. A teapot awarded him was to commemorate his deviation from the straight and narrow nath.
John Shea was awarded a hard-boiled egg for being the "most hard-boiled man on the Hill." John G. Stutz was informed that he was the "biggest oil can on the Hill," and was given an oil can to love and cherish.
