Lacking issues as usual, the Pachacamacs fell to baiting the Betas and talking about past victories, while the Independent raised the usual howl against fraternity domination and talked rather vaguely of breaking (or was it busting?) the machine. Also as usual, Pachacamac won, having only to lose a position as dance manager because of proportional representation. The women continued their policy of avowed lily-white elections and at a mass nominated approximately one-fourth of the freshmen women for their allotted two offices. After the customary round of teas, the fairer sex proceeded to express their choice (ever a feminine preroga- tive) with the result that Dorothy Will- cuts and Margaret Alberty emerged vic- torious. Never let it be said that the word combine is mentioned in connection with women ' s politics, yet for the information of the politically minded, Misses Wilcuts and Alberty, residents respectively of Watkins and Corbin Hall, received 87 and 88 votes as compared to not more than 15 for any of the other candidates. If It ' s Quality You Want You Don ' t Buy Substitute HOTEL ELDRIDGE BARBER SHOP All of which brings up the interesting question as to the combined number of freshmen resident in the two halls. To these six neophytes fall the dubious duties attendant to the piloting of the freshman class. Their principle duty will be fulfilled when their pictures are printed upon this page. In addition, how- ever, Mr. Busick will attend the Men ' s Student Council, if and when the Secre- tary of the Council remembers to notify him, and will lend his wisdom to the deliberations of this august body, albeit he has no vote. Mr. Newlin, alas, has nothing to do in his capacity as treasurer. Messrs. Ritchie and Hildebrand will sit hopefully around until the first of December when they will be notified that the Varsity ' Dance Manager has selected the orchestra and made all necessary arrangements for the Freshman Frolic. Doubtless, however, the Kansan will append their names to the announcement of the Frolic. Misses Willcuts and Alberty are a shade more fortunate. They will enter the meetings of the W. S. G. A. and will actually be allowed to vote. Most important, however, they will be admitted free to all varsities and will thereafter be actively pursued by the campus ' more thrifty-minded students. Despite the fun which we poke at the various class offices and at the methods used in attaining them, none of us dis- pute the f act that the attainment of such offices is a distinct honor. Ridicule of the importance of these offices by no means implies the slightest ridicule of the per- sons holding these offices. To be nomi- nated and elected to such offices, the can- didates must possess the personalities and ability necessary to impress their fellows and to secure their wholehearted support. Nomination or election to such offices is (Continued on page 163)

However, all three journeyed to the var- sity en masse with no apparent hard feelings. The Sigma Chis administered a little of the Phi Gam serenade courtesy in the form of catcalls, gun reports, and all the trimmings save Guernsey ' s cow bell the other evening when the latters went asinging to the Kappas. During past years it has always been an old Fiji cus- tom to disrupt all serenades, and to have the tables turned was indeed bitter tea. However, phone calls, demanding satis- faction were spurned and the Fijis were forced to be content by shouting to hell with Richardson, Dieter and Voorhees the rest of the night. The duck race that was held over on Potter ' s lake as a part of Homecoming activities might have be,en a lot of fun, but considering that the band ' s candidate won it, and considering as how it took all the rest of the day trying to round up all the ducks so they could hold their duck dinner, it doesn ' t appear that it would be worth winning. The Phi Delts sure were out for blood because they tied a string around their duck ' s leg, and pulled him across the lake, but the gag didn ' t work so they had to have someone else bring the ducks for their dinner, too. Too bad Ruth Esther Purdy and Jim Donahue ' s duck died. It ' s rumored that the poor thing got ulcers from drinking too much firewater. Jim didn ' t know everybody ' s stomach wasn ' t strong as his own. Gene Lloyd, Wichita lad from the D. U. house, has a tricky little gadget that he carries around every week end. Looks like a portable bar and all he has to do is just go into a place and order a little ice and he ' s off for the evening. This dance manager job must be pretty soft.

AS THE KANSAN WOULD WRITE IT PIGS PROVE PENLESS STORM SHATTERS STRAW SHACKS Wolfe Named Instigator Miss P. R. Pig and Miss O. Z. Pig (who) last night (when) were forced to flee (what) to escape furnishing rations to T. Wolfe (why) who attacked their houses by instigating a windstorm according to the huff-puff method. It has been disclosed that the Misses Pig had, in the previous month, received many alarming threats from T. Wolfe. But they did nothing about them. Miss P. R. Pig states: We did not reinforce our straw houses since we believed them protection enough against the odious Mr. Wolfe. The windstorm, centered last night on the residences of the two pigs, was so violent that the straw domiciles were battered to the ground and completely destroyed. There were no casualities. The two Misses Pig escaped secretly through the grocery delivery entrance to theii homes, ordinarily known in popular par- lance as the trough. They found refuge in the house of a neighbor, Esquire Pig, M., whose sturdily built domicile was proof against the wind. Esq. Pig, when asked to what he attributed this success, stated : The secret of my success is brick and stones. I find that houses of this material withstand windstorms. Though they require more time and effort in building than do the houses of my more inclined- to-leisure friends, I have been willing to work hard to achieve my goal. The Misses Pig are not pressing charges against T. Wolfe. They go so far even as to say that they never want to meet Mr. Wolfe face to face again. IN THE PANTS By Rex Woods, Sp. The Pig episode last night reminds us that there ' s more than one way of keep- ing the wolf from the door. Just blow the darn thing down. Heh, heh. We hear that T. Escape-Me-Never Wolfe thinks P. R. Run-Fast Pig is just a ham anyway. Heh, heh, heh. THE SLIPSTICK SCHOOL ( Continued from page 146) rapidity if the other team is poor at guarding. That night at the banquet, the victorious teams are announced and the group having the largest score is announced as the champion. Last year the Chemicals won the coveted title. The Engineering Banquet held the night of the Field Day is quite a memorable occasion. Each of the six branches of engineering sits at its special table which is decorated with some iden- tifying symbol. The Faculty are there in number and many an engineering alum- nus is back to renew old acquaintances. All through the meal there is constant banter and heckling between groups, and there are organized yells such as Assay Ton, or Oh, you Civils Sulphide Ore, Aren ' t you nifty? Na-2-SO-4 You ' ll graduate Standard Solutions, In 1950. Frequent Dilutions, Explosions and smears The Chemical Engineers When the dinner is over, there are the usual after dinner speeches and then an address by the principal speaker of the evening who is a K. U. man who has become outstanding in the field of engineering. Another activity fostered by the engi- neers is the Engineering Exposition, held every two years. This exposition creates a great deal of interest throughout the state and is one of the best advertisements that the University receives. This exposi- tion endeavors to show what engineering is doing for the betterment of human life, and also what the University of Kansas is doing as an institution where the vari- ous branches of engineering are taught. The exposition will be held again this spring, and should be of great interest to all students and friends of the University.
