Mexico City Students Defy Police
Clashes Growing Out of Expropriation Results In Two Injuries; Guards Take Charge
Mexico City, May 16—(UP) Police today drove students of the socialist youth organization from the University prepartory and law schools after bloody clashes that reflected the tense situation in the country. The police, education and prepartion and the subsequent diplomatic break with Great Britain.
Two students were injured, one of them gravely. There were no arrests.
The students, using pistols, sticks and bricks, had siezed the university buildings, in downtown Mexico City, in connection with a dispute over Dean Chico Goerne which had split the student body.
Police chief General Fredericie Montes took personal charge of ousting the students and stationed detachments of police, armed with rifles, within and around the buildings.
Meantime the government moved troops into the states of Guamajan and San Luis Potosi tonight as a precaution against possible uprising.
May 'Engineer'
Ready Wednesday
In the May issue of the Kansas Engineer, which will be out Wednesday, Prof. F. C. Brown of the department of applied mechanics states that the University of Kansas School of Engineering ranks high among engineering schools throughout the country.
This information is based on the number of graduates listed in the "Who's Who in Engineering." The University is twentieth in a list of 513 schools, of which 143 schools have at least seven graduates honored.
Another article of general interest is the non-technical description of air-conditioning by Ferris Summers, e38. The magazine also contains articles about the engineering expoitions at the 2014 World Expo and gas fields, a prize essay by George Hollinger, and the newly elected engineering council.
The managing editor for this issue is George Gordon, e38, with Leo Johnstone, e39, as general editor; and James Bounds, c39, as business manager.

New York columnist, had a nice telephone conversation with a friend from Lawrence, of our "shack" but formerly with the big time sheets back in civilization. May we provisional share the honors, Professor?
The Delta Chi's pulled a fast one on Newt Hovestock at their senior dinner last night. Newt has been going with Ann Reynolds, Alpha Chi, so long that the boys thought that maybe a hint would be in order. Newt was playing tennis and didn't get to the dinner until late. When he arrived he found a five-pound candy box and a bowie cigar, or at least two and an inch. He sat on the card. The girls were empty and the cigar box had cigarette stubs in it. Newt says that it will take more than a little hint like that to break him away from his carefully hoarded sheckels.
Reading today's pome caused us no little consternation, but we pass it on as your final examination. The library has a big dictionary.
We've often wondered if those triangle love stories that appear so often on the screen ever really happen. From all indications George Murphy, a Beta lad, is doing all right. Last year he went with one Jody Belt, a Pi Phi miss who is not in school this year, but expects to return next. And thereby hangs the tale. George has been going rather steady with Kappa Betty Barnes this year, except for the weekends

Dowling received his B.S. and M.
A. degrees from the University of
Pittsburgh. He later had a graduate
alumni fellowship and was an assis-
tant instructor. This year he be-
sident in economics department.
As statistician and market analyst he will have charge of a department the company has never had before.
He taught a class in market analysis last fall which was the first time such a course had been offered at the University.
Last week the Chancellor had a bird, a nice仁ren robid resture. At least, a robin had made a nest outside a window in Chancellor E. H. Lindley's office, and refused to budge from three little blue eggs except when it became absolutely necessary.
Robins Nest, Raise Young Outside Cancellor's Window
Dr. Frank Bain will teach investments at the University next year.
But this week the Chancellor has four birds, for three hungry mouths were being fed by the mother today. A complete history of the birds dates back to March when two busy robins were noted by the Chancellor making a nest on the window ledge. For a time the male bird lingered around the nest to bring food, but later the more duly colored of the two birds kept her vigh alone.
The nest may be seen from a second floor corridor of East Frank Strong hall.

The following letter was received yesterday from John Coleman, German exchange scholar from the University:
Coleman, Exchange Scholar In Germany, Writes Kansan
Editor, University Daily Kansan,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.
It has been customary in the past few years for the University exchange student to Germany to relate some of his experiences in a German university, and to describe something of the university system, the people, and the country. As our respective school years near the end I am glad to give you an account of impressions and experiences which I have had during this delightful year.
Dear Sir:
As most students know, the university system in Germany is much different from ours. Most interesting to the foreign friend fresh from an American college is the vastly different kind of individual freedom which the students have. From this different kind of freedom, I believe, emerge the great dissimilarities between our universities (from the viewpoint of the student). For instance:
Voluntary Class Attendance
Students—especially undergraduates—are not required to attend
A letter of Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, explaining the Summerfield Scholarships at the University, was published in the May 11 issue of the New York Times.
Templin Letter In N.Y. Times
The letter follows;
To the Editor of the New York Times:
Your recent editorial reviewing the article in the May issue of Harper's by President Conant invite an explanation.
Dr. Correnton's plea for scholarships for superior student states the matter accurately. That many excellent boys are unable to attend college because they are not news. And scholarships are not new. All universities and most colleges have been awarding them for many years. The novel feature of the modern scholarship is that it is not regardably a means of securing the finest talent for future service to society.
Identical Scholarships
The faculty adopted a plan which has worked satisfactorily during the past 10 years. The Summerfield Scholarship is awarded each year twelve to fifteen graduates of Kansas high schools out of 10,000 students test of native ability and scholastic preparation Naturally, they are marked men on the campus and most welcome to the classroom of every teacher. While the financial aid provided is appreciated by these boys, the honor the scholarship committee counted as meaningful. The number of these boys is far above that of any other group. Four-Year College Course
The national scholarships described by President Conant are interesting as being practically identical in purpose and administration to a series of scholarships maintained at the University of Kansas. A graduate of Kansas State University, he number a Kassan boys who were unable to secure a college education. Solon E. Summerfield, president of the Gotham Silk Hossey company, placed at the disposal of his alma mater a fund and requested that he would bring the maximum benefit to many boys as it could reasonably support.
The Summerfield Scholarsl guarantees to its holder a four-year college course, whatever he and his family can do toward his support. The amount of the award depends upon the personal skills each boy

classes; they write no periodica examinations, have no grading system, are not generally in as close contact with their professors as we are. They may settle in one university for as long or as short a period of time as they wish, and in a university career of eight semesters might attend nearly as many universities. A lack of personal demand which our own universities make upon us, accounts then for the lack of personal feeling which a student experiences, attended, and accounts in other ways for the dismiscellaries of our systems. OneNotice immediately how his liberty or freedom as an individual is practically untouched by his university, that his public or private life is in most ways of no concern to any official university group. There are limits of course, but we in American universities know nothing of such a wide range of individual freedom. I want here to give no cause to a "liberty" loving American student because he has deprived of personal freedom, etc. nor, Etc. nor I advocate a change to the European way. I have experienced this freedom at the University of Freiburg for nearly nine months now and see no reason why we should make any fundamental change.
Alarm Clock Eliminated
When one considers the fact that attendance at lecture is not required, he is apt to get the idea that the millennium has at last arrived and that alarm clocks will be one more evil eliminated from a college student's life. I must admit that the notion was very catching among a group of students attending a grooming of the term (there were about 20 Americans here), and I also susceptible. But such an idea does not last long. I soon bought an alarm clock for four morks and turned out for 8:15 classes with the rest. Lecture rooms were never empty. Only at beginning of the week did the group after trying weekends of falling down mountain sides with skis strapped on feet or an extra amount of extra-curricular life) was there a noticeable depletion in attendance, but to the professor it seemed all the same and he delivered his lectures accordingly. It is an interesting experience, for one something to accomplish, and the responsibility for what he accomplishes lies more with him, less with the professor.
Semester Lectures Posted
At the beginning of the semester, each professor posts on the bulletin board a list of lectures which he will deliver during the enquiry term. For one month thereafter, the student attends those subjects which he desires and selects his lectures. At any time during this period he presents his "book," in which he has written subject, name of professor and number of hours, and the professor scribbles his name. The student writes down what he says, "I have enrolled in the lecture of Herr Professor Dr ___" (subject, number of semester), includes some personal data, and gives it to his professor. From the list of lectures in this book, the university treasurer determines the amount of fees due, adds the health insurance fee ($10 per semester), and the student is enrolled. This procedure was preceded by a simple bit of registration at the first of the semester. As far as I have been able to determine

Sam Follett Anderon of Chunate, who is to be graduated from the University this June, was announced yesterday as the German exchange scholar for 1933-38. The German student coming to the University will be Ulrich Pohlenz of Hamburg.
The German exchange scholarships are made possible by an annual gift of $1,500 made by an annual fund or part of the portion Part of this amount provides for the expenses of the German student at the University, and part assists in defraying travel expenses of the Karassa student in going to Germany. The German government offers for fees and living expenses.
Anderson hopes to study German language and literature at the University of Munich next year. Here at the University, he has made an excellent scholastic record. He is a Summerfield scholar; he has made the dean's honor roll for three years, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa this spring. In 2013, he Chanute High School in 1833, he was interested in debate, orchestra, and Hi-Y, and was elected to the National Honor Society.
Pohlenz is an economics major,
and is particularly interested in
business cycles. He hopes to study
measures of overcoming business
depressions. He has studied at,
the University of Breslau and the
University of Hamburg and is a
addition to French, English, and Italian. He plays the flute and piano, and is interested in
several sports.
Claus Holthausen of Hamburg is the German student here this year, and John Coleman of Atchison is the German exchange scholar from Kansas. Other German exchange scholars from Kansas for the past decade are Robert Burke of David Murphy of Kansas City, Mo., 36-37; Dr. Karl Hamilton Pfuetz of Manhasset, '35-26; and John Glibrich of Kingman, '34-35.
