Officials Doubt German Trade Plan Next Year
★ Chancellor Tells Nelson
Not to Count on Agreement
for Student Study;
Phi Psi Swap On
By Reginald Buxton, c'40 Strong doubt that the University will play host to a German exchange scholar next year was expressed today by J. H Nelson, associate dean of the college and chairman of the committee selecting the scholars.
Whether international relations or the failure of the anonymous donor, who each year sends a check to the University for $1500, to come through this year has caused the impending breakdown in the nine-year-old agreement with Germany is not known.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley who has a deep interest in the exchange arrangement informed Nelson a few days ago not to count on the exchange scholarship this year, it was said.
The present German scholar here is Ulrich Pohlienz. Sam Anderson, who went to Germany was the University committee's choice as this years exchange scholar from here.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, which sponsors their own scholarship exchange with Germany, announced today that they intended to continue their exchange. Hermann Fellhauer is at present staying at the University of Chicago, Bill Kindel. Independence is at present studying in Germany.
An anonymous friend of the University sent a check for $1500 with which to defray the expenses of a University student while studying in Germany. The practice has continued, and these exchange scholarships was held by Lee Seifert Greene of Mankato in 1930-31.
Bacteriologist Elected to Immunology Association

Attendance For Cakewalk Tops Record
- Popular Orchestra Entertainer Ad Libs, Judges Feminine Pulchritude, Sinas and Autoarahs
By Harry Hill, c'40
A smiling Southern gentleman who is equally talented as a band leader, comedian, magazine salesman and beauty judge brought a unique type of entertainment to Mount Oread last night and more than 3,500 dancers and spectators howled their joyous approval.
While a capacity crowd of 750 couples occupied the dance floor, some 2,000 spectators watched. The total attendance tops any at a University dance in the school's history. With the management paying a re-venue of $267,000's appearance the financial aspects were worked out successfully.
While their merry maestro dressed hurriedly in the wings after a late arrival, the musicians opened the party with a medley of dance tunes. When Kysser appeared, the band broke into the home song, the crowd joined the orchestra. It was a jolly jumble of jokes and jive from then on.
Half an hour before the opening toot, the spectator's sections on the inclined main floor and in the first balcony were tightly packed. Colorfully clad couples filtered onto the dance floor as the band members arranged chairs and music stands on the stage.
The leader shot frequent aside to the many dancers who crowded against the stage. He exchanged banter remarks with members of the group. He giggled called upon featured performances of the group for solo.
Eye Twinkle
Harry Rabbit, who says Kyester's distinctive song titles, is a person-able young man with a pleasing voice. Sully Mason is the bold, slightly rotund saxophone man who does seat scripts of brevety tunes as he makes faces at the microphone. "Ginny' Simms, only woman artist" for formers, has a sincere tone that is inviting to torch presentation and the eye twinkle that adds greatly to her comic lyrics.
Ish Kabibble, the dead pan comedian who helped make Kyser famous, didn't autograph anybody's Soul Owl with his real name, Merwin Bogue. His renditions of songs and simple rhymes caused dancers to stop dancing and listeners to listen still more intently.

Crowds Cheer As Sovereigns Reach Canada
Quebec, May 17—(UP) —A British sovereign trod Canadian soil today for the first time since the domination of the Maple Leaf came under the away of the Union Jack two centuries ago.
King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, bound on a long and arduous trip through Canada and to the United States, disembarked from the Empress of Australia at 8:35 a.m. cat.
Cheers of "Long Live the King" rang out from thousands of throats
and their majesties, rulers of people who speak 250 tongues, also were sulted in the alien language of French speaking Canadians—"Vivent Leurs Majesties."
King George trod soil sacred to Britons on this ide, the grit occasion that a ruler of Great Britain has visited this new world outpost of Empire. Where he and the Queen dined in Birmingham, British militia genius, died from
British military genius, died from wounds suffered in a battle that won a western wilderness for England.
Hours before the Empress of Australia was nudged into Journey's End by three tugs cheers rippled along the bank of the St. Lawrence where thousands of British subjects were straining eyes through the morning sunshine for a glimpse of their monarchs.
The cheers swelled to a welcome roar when two figures appeared on the promanade deck of the vessel that had made a tedious trip through fog and ice. It was the King, wearing a blue uniform and coocked hat of
At 8:18 a.m. two men went up the

Much of the military might of the Dominion was mustered around the wharf to guard their majesties.

Representatives of the British naval force too, and the bright coats of royal Canadian mounted police made red dots in the crowd.

They extended the official greetings of the new world to these monarchs from the old world and then, at 8:35 est, the royal party went slowly down the gang plank and set foot on Canadian soil.
