Premier Tardieu Loses Majority; Offers to Resign
Radical Socialists, Under Herriot, May Form New Cabinet and Government
LEBRUN WILL PRESIDE
Paris, May 8—(UP) —The cabinet of premier Andre Tardieu, his parliamentary majority, wiped out in final voting in the legislative election decided to submit his resignation to the new president to be elected tomorrow.
It thus appeared certain that Edouard Herriot, leader of the Herriot radical Socialists, would be called on to form a new government. The Tardieu cabinet decided it would ask the new president to request the present government to remain in office until the new parliament meets June 1.
Tardieu told the United Press that election of a new president coincides with the changed diurnal majority. The president will have responsibility of the government. The new president though may insist that Tardieu and his cabinet assure continuance of the government until the new president appoint a new cabinet and minister.
Tomorrow's election for president, assumed the proportions of a major party battle when Paul Painleau, former premier, announced he is at the disposition of his friends. Allevit Lebran, president of the senate, who would be the most logical choice by tradition made a similar announcement. Herrie's radical Socialists are pledged to support Painleau while Leibrum is supported by Tardieu and his old majority rule in the Senate. Lebram will preside at the national assembly at Versailles, which will elect the president.

Seniors Will Give Ten Scholarships As Memorial Gift
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, Fred Ellsworth, Fred Fleming Talk to Class
COMMITTEES REPORT
Opposition to the payment of the senoir fee of $3.50 and the class memorial was led by the School of Law. They gave the objection that it was too high for times of depression. Both measures were brought to a vote, and about 40 were voted, and the objection was voted down by a large majority.
The senior class of the University at a meeting held in Fraser theater today at 10:30 decided to give $10 100 scholarships as their memorial gift to the University. It was also decided that the fees this year should be set at $3.50. The fees for the last five years have averaged $6.80.
Criminate Explain Fees
The class fees were explained by Kurtie Cox, associate director. He said that the $3.50 would pay for the cap and gown, senior breakfast, alumni fees, and part of the memorial. About $400, he stated, was raised from the sale of senior invitations. A third $200, he said, would fund to make up the $1,000 for the 10 scholarships. The loan scholarships are to be handled by the student loan committee, but separately from other loans. The diploma fee of $8, he explained, is the class fees and not the administration fee and not the senior class.
Freel Fleming, president of the class, announced that the senior reminder would be out soon. Seniors, who finish college, will need to be absent from the graduation exercises. If the day is rainy, he explained, there will be no procession, and the exercises will be held in the stadium. If the day is sunny, the procession will form in the Administration building and march to the Auditorium. If the day is fair, the line of march will form back of the Admiral's ship and march down the hill to the stadium.
Breakfast to Be June 6
The senior breakfast, Lela Hackney, chairman of the committee in charge, announced, will be held June 6 at 7:15 a.m. The affair is to be informal. At this time, the prophecy and history will be read and the pipe of peace smoked. "The first memorial gift made to the University was in 1873. Fred Eelsworth, alumni secretary for university," he explained, "its friends must push it. Started with a gift of $1,000 by Amos Lawrence, since that time 11 buildings have been given to it by private individuals." he said. "Even the buildings given by the legislatures must be fought for by friends. The alumni association is an organization of the university who help in this fight" he concluded.
Chancellor Speaks
Chancellor E. H. Lindley spoke on the importance of the last six weeks of senior school life. "They are the last golden weeks of senior life," he said. "They unify the past school life and you feel the real life of the University."
"The state," he explained, "expects service for its pay in giving free education. The largest sum raised for a memorial was only equal to the cost of the education of three of the class members."
"You don't have to rent your cap and own from the University," Fred Fleming said. "The University does, however, allow you to expect to get one elsewhere. You can check in your cap and own immediately after the exercises," he said. "The business office will also be open so that you can get your dip."
