The campaign preceding the election
was hot from start to finish. In no
contest in which more than one person
was entered could the result be pre
dicted until, the last minute. All candi
dates worked as heard as they knew
how till the last stroke of 5 closed the
polls. The closest as well as the
most friendly race was for Senior pres
ident. In the Junior race the winner
treated his opponent to a front seat
at the matinee performance of one of
the down town theatres. In the Sopho
more race it might seem that the can
didates for Junior Editor and Presi
dent were running together since the
totals were exactly the same and the
majority in one case was only one vote
larger than in the other. Only seventy
two out of nearly a thousand Fresh
men exercised their right of franchise.

Values" Officers to be Elected
Today
The Y. W. C. A. vesper service last
evening proved a very Inspirational
meeting. Miss Mildred Peery had
charge of the meeting and in a very
effective way presented Rev. Waite.
pastor of the First Congregational
Church. He took as his subject "Par
Values." He cited Incidents from the
Bible, to show that in order to find
our true value we must go to one who
knows. Me must go to Christ, as did
the disciples and Inquire our true
worth. In order to become great we
must be as a child with no idea of su
periority orTjf snobbishness. He con
cludes by saying that the best and
greatest characteristic in any life Is
unselfish, sacrificing service.
Miss Virginia Broome very ably
rendered a vocal solo entitled. "Teach
Me To Pray." All members of the
Y. W. C. A. are urged to find their
way to the association room today and
express their preference in the nomina

Contract With Iowa Changes
in Football Rules
It was announced at the regular
meeting of the athletic board, held in
the gymnasium yesterday afternoon,
that the Kansas Aggies had protested
the Missouri Valley Conference ruling
which requires students to complete
thirty hours work during" the year in
which they participate In athletics.
This protest of the Aggies will have
a material effect upon the ruling. At
the last meeting of the valley board.
held here last winter, three schools
voted against the proposed introduc
tion of the thirty hour rule. With this
nrotest from the Kansas farmers, the
schools will probably fall back auto
matically upon the old rule requiring
twelve hours a semester, until tho
next meeting of the valley board when
definite action will be taken. The
thirtD hour rule found little favor with
the big schools of the conference and
the protest of the Aggies is a wel
come one.
An important matter discussed by
the board was the barring of Big Kmc
teams from participation In the annual

Nebraska. Kansas and Missouri will
be invited to compete at this spring's
meet which will be held in Columbia.
There has been some objection to the
presence of Big Nine teams in the
valley meet, and it is thought that
this measure will find favor in con
ference schools. The board also ar
ranged for a two year wrestling con
tract with Iowa. The contract calls
for six matches, the first meet to be
held in Iowa City and a dual wrestling
meet was scheduled with Doane. The
dates of both the Iowa and Doane
matches will be announced later.
