Landon Is Main Speaker at Installation Banquet
Chamber of Commerce Headed by I. J. Meade for New Year
Alf M. Landon, '08, governor of Kansas, was the principal speaker at the annual installation dinner of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce last evening. The dinner, held at Hotel Eldridge, was attested by 250 persons, many of whom are faculty members of the Chamber of Commerce.
J. W. McCoy, '24, retiring president, turned the organization over to the new president, I. J. Meade, "in a solvent condition, for the first time in ten years."
Two violin numbers by Professor Waldemar Geltch preceded the talk by Governor Landon.
The Governor's remarks were largely related to business affairs, in which he criticized present efforts to pass the Glass-Stable bill, which, he said, would do away with independent state powers in the system, he said, had been too politically minded, and had not served the real business interests of the country.
"The federal reserve system never made a gesture, in 1927-29, to prevent the stock speculation that brought the present depression," said the Governor He condemned, also, the removal, under political pressure, of the national bank because "the seventh district (Chicago) because 'he had been too conservative.'"
"We are now living in an era of great change," the Governor said. "As a matter of fact there have been greater changes in our form of government in the past few months, without constitutional amendments, than there ever has been with constitutional amendment." He pointed out, however, that changes, which in prospect seemed impracticable, have often been made, and having been made are accepted as satisfactory solutions of old problems.
"I can remember as a boy the agitation for the 10-hour day, which was followed by the eight-hour day, and now it is proposed that there be a six-hour day and five-day week. Until very recent years, the steel industry insisted on requiring employees to work less than a 12-hour day. Now it is satisfied with the eight-hour day, and would not return to the longer working day."
Turning to state affairs, Governor Landon said the recent legislature had made an excellent start toward better government for Kansas, and added:
"If we are going to reduce the cost of government, we must reduce the demands on government."

Propose Flood Control Plan
Engineers Discuss Widening River Channel and Constructing Levees
Ottawa, Kan., May 24—(UP)—A plan of utilizing some of the civilian conservation corps in a flood control project on the Maraas des Cygnes river is being studied by engineers and local officials in this region.
A total cost of $441,000 was estimated by United States army engineers who have surveyed the project, the figure including $246,000 for necessary right-of-way for widening the channel, construction of levees and property damage caused by raising the grade level of streets.
The proposal is being considered by city, drainage district and county officials, and it has been proposed that a conservation district embracing all the area affected by disasterous floods of the city be given its responsible responsibility for the construction.
Three requisites will be demanded by the federal government of whatever agency decides to foster the project, according to the plans of proponents. They are right-of-way, freedom for government from suits and other petty nuisances, and a camp site for laborers.
Meetings are being held elsewhere along the river and in Butler, Mo., to inform the taxpayers on what the project entails.
The project has been approved as part of the flood control program for the district.

The suggested test for sophomores is an effort to setup standards of accrediting institutions will not be given because of the inability to obtain the records of students, according to A. H. Turney, professor of education, this morning.
Turney Says Required Number of Students Has Not Been Obtained
"We had hoped we could get more of the students to co-operate just as a beginning of a type of investigation that is being carried on at other institutions. However, I would like to ex-
press my confidence in the Self Governing Association and the Men's Student Council. They have done all they could in this limited time.
"We most certainly have made a start at correcting a good deal of misunderstanding about these things," said Professor Turney, "and hope to be able in some future time to start testing programs which will help solve problems of particular interest to faculty members and students."
SURVEY PLANS INCOMPLETE;
BUDGET DIFFICULTIES DELAY
Plans for the summer's work of the Kansas Geological Survey, K. K. Lannier, associate professor of geology and geophysics, will present this morning, are still incomplete.
The Kansas survey hopes to again co-operate with the United States Geological Survey, as it has in past years, he added, and this has caused the delay. The national survey has been forced to withhold its plans until the present budget difficulty is cleared up. As a result the plans of the Kansas survey will have to be delayed until the national program is announced.
WILLIAM FRANK MARCH, 78,

Women Would Ban Hill Party Passes for Old Members
W. S. G. A. Initiates Move to Discontinue Free Admittance to Varsities
The discontinuance of passes of all former council members into Hill parties was approved by the Women's Self Government association last night at its weekly meeting. The lowest number of passes used for entrance to a varsity this year was 19 at a party on the night of Jan. 6, according to a report given by Phil McKnight, c'33, varity dance manager, at the meeting. The most ever use was at the last party, the Music Week ball, when 61 persons obtained entrance on a student council pass.
"If this had not been possible, and if even only one half of them had paid entrance it would have meant the diff. between a profit and a loss," said McKnight.
The continued system of closed nights for variates was also approved by the W. S. G. A. "Next year it will be difficult to meet the variance expenses with the charge of 50 cents only, as stipulated by the new activity ticket so it seems only fair that variate nights should be protected," said Lila Lawson, c33, president of W. S. G. A. The closed night system has worked successfully for some no conditions from the organized houses according to McKnight. One reason for this circumstance is possibly because the financial conditions of most of the houses has resulted in a reduction of the number of parties this year.
After a speech of explanation by Bill Dodderidge, c35, business manager of the 1933 K-Book, a sum of $100 was paid to the K-Book association by the W. S. G. A.
After discussion it was decided that the women's council would again sponsor a musical comedy for next year. Closing hours during final week, starting Wednesday, May 31, will be 12:30 as desired by W. S. G. A.
