two Aspirants to the Crown, Residing Safely in Paris, Give
Populous Little Worry
Madrid, May 20 - (UP) - Although the abolished Spanish troops of Spain, the armored movement worries not about the possibility of a monarchial restoration—now under the control of the U.S.
The most important pretender, o course, is the Duke of Toledo, Don Alfonso of Bourbon and Haparburg-Lorraine, who arrived on his birth May 17, 1886 to his sudden departure from Spain on April 14, 1931. He is sojourning abroad that in Spain he was elected to the elections for the elections for the Constitutional Assembly, which the Provisional Government plans to hold about June 21. The election, a general election, enthralled, but the question of Monarchy versus Republic is not to be settled in the elections of June 21 or the elections of April 12.

Kansas Ahead of Aggies in Alumni Member Racce
Cup Will Be Awarded Win ner After Football Game October 17

The Kansas alumni associations are trying to raise the most money for their alumni fund. A cup is to be presented to the winner at the Kansas Athletics game, Oct. 17, by Governor Woodring.
For each cent received, the alumni association is given a point. At the count received May 14, the University will award that association was $50,000 ahead.
Harry M. Stewart, who is the Kansas alumnus supervising the counting at Kansas Agricultural College, writes that he would like to know the Kansas alumni association, that in the next two weeks, when the contest closes over $3,000 is expected to come in for the benefit of those Student loan funds it is counted on the alumium fund for Kansas Aggies.
This fund has been in existence quite a number of years and many large contributions are given to the Agregorians, so that it will be a great humiliation for Kansas to have to see the cup presented to the Aggrés after a probable victory on the gridiron that year.
The Kansas Alumni fund is used to complete operating budget of the alumni association which is used in purchasing some object or service which cannot be purchased for the University of Kansas. A committee for this budget will be chosen to meet with the Chancellor and the Board of Regents.
