Many organizations on the cam pus have begun a campaign in recent days to raise funds with which to send the Aggie confer ence championship wrestling team to the national intercollegiate meet at Frankly-Marshall college in Lancaster, Fa., on March 17 and 18. Four of the Aggie wrestlers are good enough to make strong show ings at the national meet, accord ing to Coach Julius Wagner, but the college athletic department is eo hard hit financially that it can MicrzrVS'- send the quartet cast. Because of this situation the idea was forgotten until student body president, Jack Egan, and the interfraternity council began the campaign to raise the money. Already between $60 and $70 has been pledged. O'Collegian.

Democracy took time out to go to a party at the Sigma Chi house Saturday night, drew in a queer assortment of people, and turn ed the place into melting pot of collegiate Americana, bringing the general confusion to some sort of unity with copious draughts of the college's beer. It was undoubtedly the damnest affair that has ever taken place in Hanover or anywhere else for that matter. Party ran from 10 to 4. Chronologically the party ran somewhat as follows: 10:32 first keg tapped. KANSAS STATE. Hackney Elmer has done it again. Kansas State's greatest athlete, Elmer "One Man Gang" Hackney added another record to his list Saturday when he broke his own varsity record and the Colorado relays record with a heave of 54 feet 1 inches. His record break ing toss, which is the best made in the nation this year, gave him his eighth record in nine attempts. In tossing the shot 54 feet 1 inches, Hackney bettered his pre vious heave by nearly nine inches, and shattered the Colorado relays mark by nearly seven feet.

A plan of making reserva tions will be announced in a near Issue of the News Record. Nick Kenny, New York music critic, has this to say about Artie Shaw: "The swing music field has uncorked a brand new claimant for top notch national honors in Artie Shaw, the clarinet playing bandsman, whose new rhythmic crew is setting the nation's toes a-tapping." Winchell's column. Walter Winchell, in his daily column, "On Broadway," has this to say about the 1939 Junior Prom band: "Add swelegant mu sicrews, Artie Shaw's." Artie Shaw has been provid ing the music for the Robert Bonchley Sunday night radio pro gram over Columbia. This pro gram is heard locally over WKRC. Shaw's popularity is graphical ly shown by a series of music popularity polls in each of which PURDUE.

KANSAS STATE 'Y' committee puts ban on anklets at dances For two years men have had to wear ties and coats to the dime dances, now girls must conform to convention and wear hose in stead of anklets. The dance com mittee has decided that anklets do not maintain the standards of the Y-Dance. Collegian. and other high officials will have another chance to remark that Purdue university has one of the best trained field artillery units in the United States! This recognition has been proved by Life magazine's offer to take pictures of "the splendid mili tary unit that has won so many honors." Soldier participants in the huge military assembly will cuss to tnemselves, saying that they never want to see a uniform again. But deep in their hearts they are thrilled to think that they have a part in the great occasion. Freshmen who have not yet seen a national inspection hear from veteran sophomores that it is a hard, man killing task to stand in one place tor a long time, wishing to scratch an itch, yet afraid to because they had prom ised not to move unless ordered.

Along with the preferential bal lot, voting machines, petitions, and training classes comes the an nouncement of the list of nomi nees for major and minor offices of C. G. A. As the plans for the coming elections on March 14 and 16 are nearing completion, the absence of political parties is noted. The Democratic league and the progressive party, political groups formed last spring for the purpose of arousing interest in student elections, have not been revived this year, and in their place up- pears the campus enthusiasm for the voting machines which have been demonstrated in the parlors of each dormitory Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. These dem onstrations will continue on Fri day and Monday afternoon, March 10 and 13. The six machines to be used for the first time in college elections have been obtained by arrange ments made by a college council committee of faculty members und students with the Leon county commissioners and a voting ma chine company. Assisting the itu dents who have volunteered to operate the machines during elec tion hours will be the Leon rounty supervisor of registration and two representatives of the voting ma chine company. The cumbersome primaries of former years have been eliminated by the use of the preferential bal lot, in which system the voter In dicates her first, second, and third choice on the machine. The use of petitions should enable many students to be elected who under the old system would not rven have been included on the ballot. Flambeau.

Joining with other universities and colleges of the nation, the committee is responding to the annual call of the United Student Peace committee to interrupt rou tine class activities for thoughtful consideration of means for halt ing the drive toward war. Since the two speakers at the 11 o'clock demonstration will have only about 20 minutes each, the committee is planning for a longer evening meeting with op portunities for student question ing and expressions of individual student opinion after a more thorough presentation of the dif fering views of the main speakers.
