The "K.U. world peace conference," organized by the Student Religious council, will be extended to include all the organizations at the University wishing to participate, Dorothy Wynne, president of the conference committee, announced today.

The miniature conference will be held during the last week in May when the San Francisco conference will be in session.

Legislators Pass All School Bills
By stopping the clock and working into the wee hours of the morning the state legislature ended its session today with the passage of four school bills and a road bill.
The school bills included plans for reorganizing the grade schools and the high schools; reorganization of state school administration, and an emergency finance measure. Making possible such consolidation is the road bill which will provide good roads for children to travel to school at more central locations. Elimination of the small inefficient and unprofitable schools will be possible.
