Liberty At All Ports M'Lads Show Us To A Beer Hall, Mac
Heave anchor and cast off the mooring lines, the K.U. navy is on its way—but not until June 26.
erty is promised at every port touched on the cruises.
The summer cruise schedule of the University N.R.O.T.C. was announced recently by Capt. J. V. Peterson, professor of naval science. Embarkation points for the cadets will be near San Francisco. And, check this, you old navy men, liberty is promised at every port touch-
Seniors will board the cruiser Duluth at San Francisco on June 26 for a run to Victoria, B. C. By July 12 they will return to the California coast for gunnery practice at San Clemente island. The seniors, old salts that they are, will be returned to "civilian life" at San Francisco on July 16.
The juniors are in for the wildest and most varied cruise. After joining the aircraft carriers, Princeton and Boxer, they will go to Hawaii. There they will fly as passengers off the carriers. Later, they will receive submarine indoctrination in the
same waters. Tours have been arranged for the cadets of recreational, educational, and armed forces installations on Hawaii.
From Hawaii, the juniors will return to San Diego for a period of observation of fleet amphibious operations. They will disembark at San Francisco on August 20.
Bolivian Students Run Universities; Elect Chancellor; Fire Professors
The sophomores will shove off from Treasure Island and sail to Seattle. From there, they will cruise to Long Beach for gunnery practice. From there, it's Pearl Harbor and submarine training. They will wind up the cruise at San Diego with more gunnery training and practice amphibious landings. Their cruise ends at San Francisco on August 21.
"Bolivian students direct and manage their colleges and universities to a great extent," said Louis Arturo Alexander in a recent interview comparing the educational systems of Bolivia and the United States. Alexander is a College sophomore whose home is in La Paz, Bolivia.
"The students elect their chancellor who then becomes a representative of that school to the government," he said. "In Bolivian colleges we have a student council comparable to the All Student Council here at the University, except our student council has more power."
Alexander stated that Bolivian students could even effect the discharge of a professor. This action can be brought about for political, physical, or other reasons. The professor, however, cannot be discharged because of any ill feelings between himself and students. The students meet at a general assembly and a vote is taken upon the matter. This vote determines whether the professor will remain or resign.
"We have no tuition fees," Alexander said. "Anyone graduated from high school is permitted to attend college regardless of his financial status; however, few take advantage of the opportunity."
Alexander's father is president of the central bank in La Paz and has served as president on the conciliation board in the Argentina-Bolivia tin treaty. At present, he is a member of the Pan-American economic mission in the Pan-American conference.
Chinese Vase Is Masterpiece of May
A Chinese porcelain vase taken from a Chinese palace during the Boxer rebellion is on exhibition at the Spooner-Thayer museum. It is the masterpiece of the month for May.
The five-clawed dragon on it indicates it once was a personal possession of the emperor. It was made during the Ch'ing dynasty of the Ch'ien-lung period from 1736 to 1795.
Many of the art treasures of China which had belonged to ruling dynasties for centuries were taken during the Boxer rebellion.
Few art treasures were seen outside the country before the rebellion.
