THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1924 ILLY KANSAN Army Air Service Completes Helium Purification Car Diffusion of Air and Other Gasses Into Balloons Causes Loss in Buoyancy Washington, April 1. The first helium purification car for use by the U. S. Army Air Service has just been constructed under the direction of the U. S. Bureau of mines and will soon be delivered to the Air Service. It is intended for use throughout the country where helium filled balloons need to be moved from impiracy, such as air which diminish its lifting power. Helium not only diffuses out of balloons but the air diffuses in. This affects the buoyancy of the gas to a lower pressure than the air with a mixture of 85 per cent helium and 15 per cent air is practically useless. The problem has been to get the air out without the necessity of a stationary or large-scale stationary plantations. When a balloon descews with the helium in it mixed with air, the car will be sent for and will take the gas from the balloon, purify it, and compress it in metal cylinders from which it may be returned to the balloon. This problem the Bureau of Minnesota solved through use of the property of charnel when kept at a low temperature to absorb practically all gases, the only exceptions being inert grasses such as helium. A device for the refrigeration of helium is used to keep gas in a damped so that it may be transported to the immediate neighborhood of all principal landing fields and airdromes. The importance of the device is that it is the first successful attempt to use the absorbing property of charcoal for the purification of helium on a commercial scale. It gives the helium a high degree of purity and has a capacity of 800 to 1,000 cubic feet of gas an hour.

Connors—or whoever pulls the strings that oerate the cosmic furnace—didn't see it fit to grant Lawrence a great deal of atmospheric warmth today. But members of Sigma Delta Chi, promoters of the annual gridiron banquet, indicate that his team has been treated in Wiedemann's Grill tonight as the result of frying choice bits upon the gridiron. The program was all arranged and the stage was all set this afternoon for the festival of torment. K. U.'s journalists were anxiously waiting for 6 o'clock to come. But the program was kent secret. Frogs and Turtles for Biology Three or four dozen turtles and eight or nine dozen frogs were received from the South yesterday by a small balloon, a ball, for use in classes of zoology and comparative anatomy. "Hello Where Are You Going?" How many of us have heard that question when we have been sauntering down the street, during business hours, using a new airtel, or a different hat? "Going to K. C?" —or— "Who's going get married?" —or— "What's going to happen, Jim? You're all dressed up?" It's human nature for us to think a man should be well dressed only when making a trip out of town, where he will meet people upon whom he wishes to make a good impression —or for some special occasion where property almost demands that we be fressed-up. But, isn't it just as desirable that we make good impressions, win add respect, with the people we meet 200 miles away, and those folks we live among, and have almost daily contact with, a far more important part of our existence, and happiness, than those oceansical ones that work when we are away from home? We live right here in Lawrence. Let's not make the mistake of thinking that Lawrence's opinions of us don't count. We can't admit him to admit it or not, count for a lot in the satisfaction we get in living here and, yes, they have a lot to do with the degree of success we attain. A next personal appearance.

BLACK MASK Hanson's Statement THE TRUTH What a joy it is to take a stand for a constructive measure that will improve conditions for a great number of people! Now that one of the parties has come out with a real platform, each plank of which is a soundly progressive program, there is no excuse for staying out of politics. Hereofore, many students said: "I'm not interested in politics." And no wonder, or interest in politics, for a party just because it is a party or for a person just because you happen to have met him, regardless of his purposes and plan in running for office. Varsity Dance Committee Isehman-Jenka will again startle the natives with their six-pieces of synopication. Ask anybody how they lied the last varsity—Come early—avoid the first two hundred couples. Now this is changed, you can temper your choice of individuals for office with knowledge of the platform on which they are running, with the principles before you on which they stand. F. A.U. R. E. (Dick) Hanson There is no excuse now for not taking at least enough interest in politics to vote. Of course some few professors would object, because, as they tell us, grades must conform to the normal distribution curve. Seven percent, must flunk. Flanking isn't such pleasant business, but they also tell us that This chap will have to go some if he beats the Varsity Dance The proposed plan for student grading of professors is as follows. 1. After spring election provide each student with one grade card to represent the professor when a course had been taken during the current year. Grade the Profs!! Sounds hard on the profs, doesn't it, for students to grade them. But later, many professors would welcome t. Professor Engle says "For college professors who would be real democracy. Why should the professor hold himself above student criticism? I'm for it. Professor Sandelius says 'Id vote'." 2. Registration of a grade (A, B, C, D, F.) for each professor, by the student, on a card as printed in Monday's advertisement. 4. The results for each professor could be compiled from these cards by a student council committee, with representatives on suggestions for improvement. Sat. Nite 4. Each professor should then be presented with the above summary. Yesterday we pointed out that a such plan would improve instructional service by stimulating the professors to think critically about the content and method of their courses. Engineering School Candidates In the engineering school we present the following candidates. Mayo A second beneficial result would be the improvement of scholarship resulting from students' critical analysis of educational values. Linscott for President, Bill Patterson for Vice-President, and his twin brother, Bob Patterson for Secretary-Treasure. For Engineering school representatives we present Walter Farrar, and Dee Grahm. "When men begin to think, something happens." Just to sit down in the quiet with a grade card for homework, you might think through the real honest to goodness value of this course or that professor would be more than "great sport". It would be real education. It is easily conceivable that such a graduate could foundly modify not only our present educational efforts but also future choices of courses and professors. Put K. U. first—Better teaching, higher scholarship. That's the old right. Don't we expect the prof to give us advice on how to him, and for ourselves. Grade the prof! That's the way to help! Mayol Linscott is a member of Sigma Tau. This in itself is evidence of character and ability as an engineer. He is a member of the Architectural fraternity, Scarab, and is secretary of the Architectural Enforcement department. Mr. man that can put the engineering school on its feet, put over a good exposition, see that the Law school does not overrun the campus, and attend to all other duties of the president, then Mayol is the man responsible for it. He has plenty of ability, lots of initiative, and an excess of pep. Everyone knows the Patterson twins. There are no better men to be found. There are others as good as our candidates, but none superior. The Patterson twins are the bosses of the Engineer at present. They know their stuff in a scholarly way. If their grade cards look like a tabulation of all the A and B grades of students, you know they are O. T. C. know the twins because they are the color guards. This is a place of honor, and they earned the place by their abilities. Bob Patterson was recommended as a candidate for next year. He decided that he would rather confine his interests to the engineering school since there seems to be an abundance of good material for the Jaywalker staff. If the Patterson twins are elected we must find a candidate in the engineering school will not lack the best executive ability. For the representatives of the engineering school there are three men that we feel are capable of representing the entire school in the best possible manner. First we present Walter B. Farrar. Walt will be the one who brings the hill long enough that he is well known, and his ability has been too well proven for us to go into a lengthy discussion of him. He is president of Karppa Eta Kappa, the new honorary engineering organization that exists here, our having the chapter here in our school. He has the ability to put things across. He is a captain in the R. O. T. C. and the men of the unit know he has plenty of executive ability. He is capable of represent-ing the course years. Walt will not a member of a social fraternity. Let's put him over. Ray Lawrence is our next bet. He is also a Junior. He is a very accomplished man, as you are well awake. He has been in the K. U. army in the Air Force and in the orchestra. He is president of the Engineering Governing Board. At present he is business manager of the Kansas Engineer. If you want further evidence of his ability look to the R. O. W. Building. There is no question as to the ability of Ray to serve on the council. All we ask is that you compare his qualifications with those of any other candidate. We feel confident that Ray will succeed. I am a student Government next year. Council Officers We present as our third candidates for the Council a man who has been an excellent student all through his career. Graham is the number of the team. He is also an industrial engineer. Yes, he is a Junior, Graham is a member of Warmer James First Vice President Lebhard W. Brown Second Vice President Harry H. Browne Second Vice President Annel Mitchell Secretary Philip Reiss Treasurer College Candidates Marshall Parke President 'Vice Hill' Vice President Liliana Bishop Secretary/Treasurer Taylor Bisky Executive Frasch Root Representative Veronica Kenney Representative Mahon Delp Representative Walker Moore Representative McGee McGuire Representative 'Petr' Welty Representative Engineering School Candidates Maral Linnett W.

We are opposed to "mud-alighting" in election campaigns nomination of candidates. * 2 We are required to "modification" in 3. We favor the publication of campaign exposures. 4. We are not in favor of running eligible athletes for certain offices which require a great deal of time. 5. We assume full responsibility for the party's actions. 6. We stand for the truth in politics. 7. We advocate a joint committee from the public to the congress to address the conduct of the commission, and rules in we lived up to shortly after adoption. 8. We propose to publish the names of the Junior and Senior members of our Society at the time of each election. 5. We are in sympathy with the idea be blind the point system, and believe a point system would be of service to the men of the University. 10. We are asking the support of all who favor such a program of constructive politics at the University of Kansas. \ Seabarb and Blade, the honorary military fraternity. He is the Adjutant of the R. O. T. C. Battalion. If there are any qualifications for leadership that Del lacks we have to ensure they are on the list or in the catheter. We are asking that the engineers consider these facts. The men we are running for the positions in our school are all men who have had the maximum of experience and training, so they have been here most of three years. Every one of them is a leader, an executive. We ask only that you will compare them with other candidates for the same office. One of our candidates is a fraternity member of a university. Another maturity men. We are proud to have the opportunity of backing such a strong group of leaders. Council Officers Yes, we return to the contest and desire to tell you a few more of the many facts about the candidates for the major offices. You all know Wallace James. He has demonstrated his ability in so many ways that it is not at all clear why he was selected from qualifications however, has not Wallace demonstrated his ability in more ways than any other man on the hill? He has an enviable scholarship record. He is a member of three honorary societies, Sachem Tau Beta Tetra, and Scabbard and Blanker Tetra. He has done anything since he started to high school. He has held executive offices three years on the campus. He served efficiently on the council one year, and was re-elected the following year. That is the kind of service he has rendered. Wallace has been connected with Y work, church work, athletics, finance campaigns, and various 'other ac' cities. And remember that he has built up his墙面 that he will cover the whole Wallace will put across a clean constructive program in the council next year. To tell you a few more qualifications of Hanson we wish to add to what we stated in the Kansan on Sunday, that Dick is a member of Pen and Scroll. Yes, he has the ability to write too well. Of course you knew Dick was on the Deems honor红; Dick was the man chosen by the C.A. to head up the task of organizing the discussion groups which is the very heart of the Y. M. C. A. work. He is the only Sophomore on the Cabinet. He has been president of the Epworth League at the Methodist church. Perhaps his experience on the debate squad would be of usefulness to him in care a question arose for discussion in the council. You can't go wrong on a discussion group because we have on the hill. Let him put where he can do more good by giving him an executive position on the council. "in speaking again" to Leland Browne we can only repeat what a Pachacamac was telling to a good Black Man's member yesterday. He said that he hoped Tom Poor won the election, but Leland Browne was not sure about it. We wish to second this sentiment of our friend on the opinion and say that we think Browne is a mighty capable man for KKO office There are many more things to be said for Browne but there is little space nor the need for it. You pushing to get him across. Speaking of A students how does this look for a record to you? Michel has 78 hours of credit at present. He has 33 hours of A, 36 hours of B, and 8 hours of C. Yes, we think he is well prepared. As an student, a student must have more than one A grade to be an A student, but we think Mitch has enough that he deserves the title. He has been on the Deena honor roll ever since he has been in school. The Te Grid Graph was a success this year under his efficient management, but Mitch has not under less efficient management. He was active in the County Club committee this fall which placed nearly 400 annuals in High Schools.: That is quite an achievement for the good of the school. Yes, there are a few we leaders as Mitch on our team we are taking such an interest in the progressive platform we have begun. Mitchell is qualified in every way for the office of Secretary and will be the best that we have had for years when he is elected. For treasurer we again call your attention to the fact that Paul Rienius is our candidate. He is qualified in every way for the office. In fact there is no way in which he can be a successful candidate, ask that you give him a chance to work out the platform of the Black Mask Party next year. The county that sends the most students to K. U. in proportion to its population is Jewell County. One of the most outstanding leaders of this group is Roy Raynolds. He is full of pop, a fun maker, friendly, and BLACK MASK is a man of real worth. When Roy first came to K. U. he started right in a leader. You can't keep a good man down. Roy is the kind of a man that you turn to in any gathering for leadership. This ability as a leader is no doubt due to the positive impact of fellowship, and the lack of self-consciousness. In electing a cheerleader we think the party should be forgotten even more than for any other office. The man we want that can produce the old school spirit, that can stir up all the old裤, zip, and jingjar that we need so often. Ham has been a dandy who knows how to not fill his shoes. He must be followed by a cheerleader that is as good or better, and Roy is the man that can measure up. Get acquainted with Raynolds—you'll admit that you like him. You know he has two more years to work for the school, and after nothing is to be overlooked. Forget party when you vote for her way; after we feel secure in her backing. Roy The Law School we present Johnny Blake. All the students in the law school know Johnny. We all like him over here, and we like him because of his pleasing personality. He has a quiet disposition, he is studious, thoughtful, and has an unrelenting passion for heart. Johnny will help put on the platform that the Black Mask party is in standing for. for the Graduate school candidate we present Jesse Wainscott. He received his A. B. from Southwestern in 1921. While at Southwestern he was a member of the student council, was a football man for two years, and was a general all around college man. He was a professor of his office, the treasurer of his Senior class. With the experience he has had on the council in a smaller college he is qualified to step into the office here and carry on the good work. Jesse is a member of the Chemistry Club and of the Graduate Club here in K. U. He is a member of the Office and of the Office. We present him to the graduate school members for their approval. Fiske Mountain needs no further recommendations than he has already received at the hands of our worthy opponents. He will be able to serve the school well when he is elected to the council. In the Pharmacy school it is difficult to find a man who has all of the qualifications for leadership that are necessary for a council member, a school counselor or a firm that we have a good man for the office. He is a member of Beta Phi Sigma, Pharmaceutical Fraternity. He is also a member of the board of Society, We work that he will be a efficient worker in the council. In the Medical School we have the problem of finding a man with all the leadership qualifications, and with the added qualification that he will be here next year. It is difficult to select a candidate from this school due o the fact that the men are in the college for a time, and soon after becoming full fledged students he will go to Rosehill Farm all of the qualities mentioned. Yes, he is a member of one of the professional Fraternities. We take pleasure in presenting him as our best recommendation for the office of representative from the Medical School.
