Summerfield Scholar Spoke at Collo quium Last Night
Gibson Defends Democracy
"Democracy is at the roadways, but it is in my opinion still the best possible form of government." Hilden Gibson, c33, said in speaking before a Sumerified Scholar colloquium at the Manor last night.
Gibson gave a paper, "Democracy on Trial," before columbium. W.E. San-delius, associate professor of political science, V.E. Heilberg, professor of sociology, and the faculty committee were present at the presentation.
Eastern Star Will Convene
The paper was defended in an hour discussion following its presentation.
All this can come only when the gross inequality of economic position is a thing of the past, according to Gibson. Also our concept of education must change. Education should be a key factor in life, with life, not a tool for economic progress.
"We must have a new democracy of which the following features are a necessary condition: that which will be unbiased, the identification of the individual with the group and democratic leadership based on shared values, and the plurality of leadership." Glsen said.

Oklahoma Considers Plan of 'Greater University
Governor Murray would put all schools, state and private, under a coordinating board and a chancellor as a "greater university." An "administrative" would be established to benefit state and private schools equally. Private schools would retain their individuality but would be assisted and connected by the
Oklaahoma City, April 10—(UP) Legislative action which would be the first step in Governor W. H. Murray's plan to unite all cities in a "greater University of Oklahoma" was scheduled in the senate today. A bill to create an educational co-ordination board with broad powers already has passed the House.
Academic accomplishment and rivalry would be stressed. Examination papers would be graded by committees with the name of the student and his college unknown. Brilliant students could graduate on meeting requirements, and not be required to attend school a specified term of years.
Governor Urges Uniting of Public and Private Schools in One
Recital Program Announced
Concert to be Presented by Jean Bender and Irene Bond
The third recital in this year's series of senior recitals which will present Bean Bender, fa 33, pianist; and Irene Jean Bend, fa 33, violinist, will be given tonight at 8 o'clock in the Administration auditorium.
Miss Bender, a pupil of Professor Carl A. Preyer, will appear first playing, "Senatu, Op. 81," (Beboehman). The three movements are entitled, "Le Adicieux," "L'Absence," and "Le Retour."
The second group will be presented by Miss Bond who is a pupil of Professor Waldemar Gelch. The numbers in the group are "Romance" (Beetoben); "Spainn Dance" (Granada); "Brahma" (Brahma); and "Passedel," (Dellies-Elman). She will be accompanied by Janet Couls, gr.
Miss Border will continue her program with three numbers by Debusy. They are "Doctor Gradus Ad Parmasure," "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair," and "General Laveine - Eccentric." The remainder of the group is made up of "Tl Nelego," (Oswald) and "Polka De Boheme," (Smetan).
Washington, April 19—(UP) —State department pressure for an extraordinary press censorship bill appeared today to be gaining converts in the senate where it had been expected the bill could perish.
Professor Preyer will assist Miss Bender in the concluding number of the program. He will play the orchestral parts on a second piano to the selection, "Concerto in B Flat Minor" (Tachnailsky).
Senate Democratic leaders said they were revising the bill which passed the house this week but the United Press was reliably informed the amendment so far proposed would continue in the bill as a censorship authority which could be invoked by federal officials against newspapers.
The "Concerto in G Minor" (Brück) will be Miss Bond's conclusion selection. She will play the allegro moderato, dante, and the allegro elevento, con moto.

University Has Real Stalactites and Stalagmites in its Own Backyard
Geologists usually speak in terms of thousands of millions of years when referring to the geologic formations of the earth and go far afield to study geology. They are a part of the University of Kansas, however, are fortunate in having on their campus, buildings which save them the trouble of taking long trips to witness the action of the elements which are intriguing or destruction or destruction of earth's surface.
The "back porch" of the Administration building is constructed of Bedford limestone, and changes in weather conditions have set up an action which usually one must travel into the bowels of the earth to witness. Stalactites and stagnatites are forming on the underside of the porch.
By a process of gathering and evaporating these stalactites (hanging from the roof) and stalagmites (on the ground below are being formed as they are formed in caves below the surface of the earth in limestone areas.
Water in its pure state is a poor solvent, but as soon as it becomes charged with carbon dioxide it will dissolve calcite, the mineral limestone. The floor of the porch has cracked in places and the water carrying this carbon dioxide has seeped down through, and on its way up the wall calcite into solution, carriying it along.
Another process always spoken of in connection with geology is known as "weathering." This weathering is taking place upon the red sandstone pillars of the Spooner-Thayer museum. The rain is gradually wearing away the pillars along the bottom edges until in some places the original pattern is obliterated. To help the rain, alternate heating and cooling of the stone faster.
China Is Ready to Quit
Japan in Turn, Will Disclaim 'Monros Doctrine of Asia'
London, April 10 —(UP) —Chiang Kai-shek of the Chinese Nationalist government has reached an unanticipated agreement that will recognize the independence of Manchoukuo and Japan will abolish unequal treaties and disclaim their "Momoe doctrine of Asia." Exchange programs dispatches from Gandan today.
Shimenchai, China, April 10—(UP) —Japanese-Machucon troops began a spirited advance inside the Great Wall today, opening what was believed to be an extended drive to purge the sector of Chinese defenders and extend the dominions of Manchukuo into China proper. At Changchun, capital city of Manchukuo a spokesman for the Japanese army said a direct operation contemptually impossible to perform on operations any longer along the line of the Great Wall," he said. "Accordingly we have decided to punish all the disturbing Chinese units."
Circus Set for Tomorrow

than natural expansion and contraction can take place is scaling off bits of the stone. Since the grains of sand are held together by calcite acting as cement, water is able to seep into the pillar, itself. The result is a layer of cement-like material by the time freezing sets in pressure exerted by the congealing water causes the stone to crack open. One has peculiarity of geological formations needs to be mentioned. Is the house in which you are living built on the side of a hill? And do the doors swing in the down hill direction if not closed tightly? That is due to what
Water which does not follow the surface of the hill to the river soaks into the ground. There, it adds to the weight of the dirt on the side of the hill; to the water it adds to the weight of the surface dirt and lessening of friction is causing the entire section to move down the hill. Witness the number of retaining walls in this section as you go up the hill every year or so because of the pervious angle at which they hang over the sidewalk. In about 50,000 years the Stadium will not need the fourth side built on; the Administration build-ons would be by sliding down over the golf course.
This will in all probability make it rather bad for those who usually use the football games from the top of Tight Wad Hill.
(P professor W. H. Schoewe of the geology department has requested that the stalactites in back of the Administration building not be destroyed. This is the first chance geologists have ever to study these stalagmites and their history, and the University is fortunate in being able to furnish the phenomena.)
ALUMNI SUGGESTLECTURES
FOR COMMENCEWEEK
ALUMNI SUGGEST LECTURES
Some alumni of the University have suggested an additional program for Commencement week to consist of lectures by prominent speakers on subjects of common interest for the visiting alumni. Other students should attend Commencement week, as it would provide some interest other than the mere meeting of graduating students. This plan of Commencement lectures has been tried out and has proven very successful in many large universities in the East.
The alumni office is interested in getting reactions and ideas of alumni on this question and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, is writing to some of the active alumni to obtain their opinions.
