Kaccd with criticism for lack of
organization of his class for the
past several weeks. Wadham.s
frankly asked for some sugges

were taken in either direction on
till' question altho several sug
gest inns were made by members
of the council. Wadhams will ap
pear before the next meeting and
present his idea for organization
at which tiiv.e the council will un
doubtedly vote upon his sugges
tion. Before lire in the council meet

the date of the prom has been ;ot

expressed hi.s appreciation for co

From a repot t of the student

the first student forum will be
tentatively held on March 1H. The
subject of the forum will be one
which will be most important in

In Competition.
Winners of tho open bidding
competition, held in conjunction

show, were announced by the
Block and Bridle club after their
meeting Tuesday night.
Although considerably less ex
pensive than the actual practice
of ringside bidding, each contender
had an opportunity to test his
Judgment of the value of his beef
steak on the hoof. Twenty-four
lots of livestock were driven
through the ring, and each con
testant placed his final bid on a
ballot.
The ballots were sold to contend
ing students for ten cents. The
bidding was carried on as though
it were a large stock show with
buyers viewing the stock only as
it is led in the ring.
In all classes, the winners were:
Chris Sanders, James Saunders,
Floyd Carroll. Earl Hedlund, Ken

TWIN PROPOSALS

POLITICAL POWER

last fall election, holds that "the
ballots shall list the names of the
several candidates for offices and
shall designate after each candi
date's name the party or faction
to which that candidate belongs."
In the fall election names of the
political parties were not included
on the ballots following the names
of the candidates.
"At present these two sections
of the constitution give great op
portunity for underhanded politics
on the campus," Landis pointed
out. "Personally I favor complete
abolition of all' political parties in
order to clean up the campus po
litical situation and make our next
election an independent one."
The suggested revision of the
constitution, which would either
modify or entirely abolish political
parties. came unexpectedly to
many of the council members al
tho they were aware that a com
mittee for that purpose had been
established several months ago.
Voting by the council on the pro
posals last evening was probably
saved by the bell which designated
time for retirement.
Decide Next Meeting.
Fate of the proposals will lie in
the next meeting of the student
council which meets in two weeks
on March 3. If either of the new
plans are passed by a two-thirds
vote, a special election of the stu
dent body will be held, Landis ex
plained. If the council does not
pass either of the plans by the re
quired number of votes, a petition
signed by one hundred students
can also force a special election.
If favored by special election, the
reform will take place immediate
ly and affect the spring election.
The two proposals presented to
amend the Student Council consti
tution are:
Modified Faction Plani designed
to amend article IV, section V i :
1. The Student Council shall
set forth requirements for the
recognition of student parties Ol
factions. 2. No party or faction shall
have the right to exist until
recognized by the Student Coun
cil. 3. Each candidate must file
individually not later than 5
p. m. on Friday prior to the day
of election.
4. The ballots shall list the
names of the several candidates
for offices and shall be free of
all party, faction, or combina
tion names.
ft. There shall be given to each
qualified student voter a separ
ate ballot bearing the names of
the various candidates who have
been permitted to file for the
office. Each student voter shall
be privileged to distinguish his
preference for such candidates
as he chooses.
6. Nothing in this constitution
shall bo so construed so as to
deprive any student of the right
to file as an independent candi
date. Abolition plan:
1. Election of members to the
Student Council shall be on an
entirely independent basis.
2. Student parties or factions
evolved for the purpose of a
combination in restraint of inde
pendent filing and election by
merit alone, are absolutely pro
hibited. 3. A finding of collusion by a
combination subsequent to the
actual election shall make the
candidate so elected, prima facie
ineligible to hold that office and
in addition any honorary, ad
ministrative or elective part in
the college during the duration
of his collegiate career.
4. Each candidate, upon tak
ing office will be sworn in by
oath, to be drawn by the judici
ary committee, stating that to

JAYS PEAR LOSS
OF CAGE CROWN
IN LEAGUE FIGHT
Nebraska, Sooners Bidding
Strongly to Oust K. U.
From Pinnacle.
A near identical situation to
i the 1936 championship sprint is
j in view this year as Doc Allen
I of the Kansas U cagers pulls out
! hi rrviiip- tnwpl In fear of losillB
his first place ranking. With
Oklahoma and Nebraska breath
ing down the Jay's neck, Allen
has plenty to worry about before
the crown Is bestowed upon his
boys.
Kansas has a single defeat in
comparison to the pair apiece of
the Huskers and Sooners. Three
games remain on the Jay sched
ule and none of them are setups.
Phog has 'carioca' of the knees
every time any of the trio are
named, including Missouri, Okla
homa and Nebraska.
Same Cage Situation.
Last year the same teams stood
in Kansas' championship pathway,
but the immortal Mt. Orcadians
cleared them all. If Kansas loses
to Oklahoma next Saturday and
Nebraska wins from Missouri
there will be a throe way tie on
the apex of the league.
Nebraska faces the defending
champs on the 27th with plenty
of hopes. Kansas State downed
the Jays two weeks ago and the
Huskers in turn tamed the Wild
cats this week. Oklahoma has
also twice dumped the Cats and
thus both second rankers, Ne
braska and Oklahoma, have better
than average chances of plucking
the Jayhawk's feathers.
K. U. Must Win Two.
In his office Wednesday Allen
made the following remark con
cerning his championship pros
pects: "If Kansas is to retain the
championship undisputed, it must
win at least two of the remaining
three games. Nebraska and Okla
homa both have hustling teams,
and a loss to Oklahoma here next
Saturday would make the remain
ing games crucial. Victory over
the Sooners would exactly dupli
cate last year's situation when
Kansas went to Lincoln for a
game that spelled championship,
or left the final decision to the
Missouri game later. You recall
that 8,000 persons crowded the
Nebraska coliseum for that im
portant game."
The attendance of the game he
speaks of was 7,700, but that
means little in the outcome of the

game which gave Kansas tho un

disputed title.
He also asserted inai " "1"
that previous wins over the com
ing opponents forecasted nothing.
"We also defeated the Kaggies
once this season," he pointed out.
Nebraska's gamo with Missouri
Is arousing much interest thru
the conference since every game
played by the three leaders puts
them on the spot. One slip and
they contend no more, with ex
ception to Kansas who can slip
twice.

WHY STUDENTS FAIL
(Continued from Page 1.)
reading aloud stimulates your ears
and the sense organs in the
muscles of your vocal apparatus,
adding considerably to your learn
ing. This applies only to memoriz
ing. Don't try to memorize every
thing, because you will soon reach
the limit of what you can mem
orize. When you are doing ordinary
reading, do it silently and do not
make the motions of the words
with your lips. Moving the lips
with the words slows reading
considerably. If you are a slow
reader, have some one watch you
to see if you move your lips
when reading. If you do move
your lips, practice holding your
lips shut and reading just as
rapidly as you can in order to
get rid of the lip movements.
The technique of reading is a
subject in itself. I shall have
more to say about it in a later
article.

Seldom is the music ot Bach
played as well by local talent as
Miss Jones played it yesterday. At

lyrical exuberance. Especially ex
pressive was mo u minor i-reiuoc
un.i tfWne: and the familiar "Jesu.
Joy of Man's Desiring" received
deservedly entnusiasiic appiauso.
Schumann's "Novellette No. 5,"
however, did not prove such a
happy vehicle for the artist's
talent. Throughout there was a
lack of variety in her touch which
did not allow the listener to get
the full benefit of the composi
tion's profusion of intricate, mel
odic figures. Debussy's elaborate
"Pagodes" was the subject of simi
lar difficulties.
So, perhaps Miss Jones would do
well to make a specialty of Bach,
as a number cf good pianists have
done in times past. That she has
already made a good start in this
direction is evidenced by the prom
