The Democrat governor, defeated by Justice Hall in the 1955 general election for governor, said, "I think Hall would win if he came out against a sales tax increase."

Students Involved In Fewer Accidents
The number of accidents involving KU students are down slightly this school year compared with the 1956-57 period, according to campus police records.
In the period September, 1957, to March, 1958, there were 55 accidents causing an estimated $4,825 damage. In a like period the previous year there were 62 accidents, causing damage estimated at $5,348. This year there would have been a much lower figure had it not been for a 10 day period in November of 1956. During that 10 day period police reported nine accidents with an estimated $1,610 damage.
In the 1956-57 period campus police filed nine charges against students. These charges included failure to yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, failure to report an accident, careless driving, failure to yield the right of way, driving too fast for existing conditions, and failure to slow up to avoid an accident.

have been filed in this six-monti-
period. Charges were failure to

Injuries have taken a jump this year. Two pedestrians have been injured in the 1957-58 period, but neither was injured seriously.
In the previous period, only one student was injured.
The Kansas Union area is the worst single area for traffic accidents.
Chi Omega, Betas Top Acts
Two skits, one filled with music and the other with criticism, captured first place in the Rock Chalk Revue in Hoch Auditorium Saturday night.
Chi Omega sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity were the winners among some top-flight competition in the ninth annual event. Second place winners were Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
The Chi Omega skit, "To EAK or Not to EAK," told how a campus group, the Every Activities Klub, led by Rosie Nation, Chanute sophomore, cailed a bunch of lazy moonshiners into participating in campus organizations.
Beta Theta Pi's skit, "Rally 'Round the Rocket," threw barbs at Kansas gubernatorial politics and a high-priced KU football coach. The story revolved around a Russian Commissar who wouldn't allow the local Soviet university to complete the rocket of the first sputnik because he needed the funds for more road signs "with his name on them," and for an expensive football program.
tered girls in competition for a "Miss University Boulevard" contest. It was finally discovered that the judges' wives were alumnae of the victor's sorority.
Alpha Chi Omega, in its skit "Title Wave," emphasized the many queen contests popular around campus. In the play, three sororities en-
Delta Tau Delta said "Science Is Great," and then disproved the statement as a janitor, Rover Stanton, Marysville freshman, led a campaign to humanize students in the year 2057. Four original songs were penned by Ted Haines, St. Joseph, Mo. senior, which turned the trick for a well-worn plot. Dolan Ellis, Topeka junior, narrated the skit.
Master of ceremonies, John Ball Kansas City, Kan. senior, met with the audience's approval every time he took the stage.

At 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dr. Janson will speak in Strong Auditorium on "The Alienation of the Artist from Society."
Dr. Janson and his wife, Dora Jane, have recently written a book titled, "The Picture History of Painting." It has been published in seven foreign languages, and was called "one of the great art books of our generation" by Theodore Rousseau, Jr., curator of painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
"Apes and Ape Lore in the Middle Ages and Renaissance," another book by Dr. Janson, won the College Art Assn. Award in 1952 as being the best of art historical scholarship.

Class officer votes were; sophomore, 488; junior, 530; senior, 409. The Allied Greek-Independent party vote was 748, and Vox Populi's vote was 607.
John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the Elections Committee, said two cases of voting irregularities were detected during the day.
At the Fraser Hall poll, there were 44 more AGI votes cast than were counted on the tally sheet. There was no other indication of ballot stuffing, however, and the Fraser votes were counted.
The other incident was apparently an attempt to vote illegally at the Lindley Hall poll.
Downing said he planned tighter organization and increased surveillance by poll police for the general election of April 16.
Ballots for class officers carried only those positions in which there were more than three candidates running. If as many as three candidates are entered, three go to the general election.

Seniors—secretary, Marcia Hall (129), Judy Chambers (116), Sandy Smith (86); treasurer, Ann Underwood (118), Hulen Jenkins (112), Gene Stevenson (78).
Downing named three races in the AGI primary which were the most closely contested. In each case, the ballots were counted three times. All three were for school districts.
Sophomores — president, Frank W. Naylor (168), Tom Ash (145), Phil Ballard (88); secretary, Nancy Varney (190), Barbara Holm (110), Don Bradley (75).
