Hungarian Lecturer
Says Minority Groups
Are Europe's Problen
ague of Nations inadequate in Differences of Race And Religion
A presentation of Central Europe's problems of organization in the newly formed countries and of the perils to which they are subjected, given by Alexander de Boer, judge of the supreme court of Hungary, speaking in the Central Administration. There are 41,000,000 people in Central Europe who are isolated religiously, racially, or linguistically from the dominant political groups in the country, including in Hungary the German- speaking peoples and the Protestant denominations particularly. He is a presiding authority of the Presbyterian church of Hungary.
He spoke of attending an assembly in Geneva in 1925, where 35 minority groups were represented. These groups organized, with the aim of teaching them how to participate in course, participation in social and education institutions and an equitable share in the educational, charitable and religious expenditures of the country.
The dominant churches in Hungary are the Christian Orthodox and Greek Catholic, with the Greek Catholic that made up Moer Boe said that at one time he dealt with more than seven hundred comrades. He was a native province of Transylvania.
The safeguards for the protection of minority groups in the treaties after the World War proved inadequate, Mr. de Bœr said. The number of complaints that arose showed that the war had been "nothing but sprats of nausea."
League Inadequate
The racial, religious, and linguistic questions are so interrelated in Central Europe, Mr. de Boer said, that it was difficult for the individual states. Because of this, and because of the inadequacy of the League of Nations, Mr. de Boer argued in his defence of the World Court to the problem of dealing with minorities, which he asserts as justice and stateman, and has spoken in many parts of the country. During the past six weeks the United States had an agreement with the United States, his second. He is a native of Transylvania and is identified with many political and social issues.

ANNUAL KAPPA FIRE REPLACED
BY MORE UNUSUAL CALAMITY
Sound Resembling Blasting Proves to Be Falling Plaster From Ceiling of Dining Room
The waiters had just gone into the kitchen of the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, preparing to set the tables and serve a brass baroque noise that sounded as if the Phi Gam house had been pushed against the Kappa house. Others may say that it sounded like someone was crying. They also said a blanket of plaster about one and one-half inches thick, stretching from one end of the dining room to the other, on top of chairs and tables where were placed in order to serve dinner.
The plaster cemented to heavy wire netting was very heavy and along with the pointed chandler pierced the wall behind the staircase and left nothing showing but the rafters. Fortunately none of the members was in the dining room at the house, but they were on the floor and several chairs were demolished. The house was built by Mont Greene, contractor, of Manhattan, and local representatives of the contractor who owned the building. Stubee, city building inspector, examined the wreckage this morning.
The contractor has agreed to rebuild damaged portions.
This event was not caused by surplus weight on the floor above, since there was no one on that floor when the calamity took place.
Twenty minutes after the event happened many students, mothers, grandparents and friends came. Greene, visited the house to catch a glimpse of the wreckage before it was taken away. The workmenhackers worked on both sides of the single mals about one and one-half inches long were the only support which held the wire netting and the boards in place.
The misfortune was a surprise to those interested in Kappa events because the Kappas were scheduled to have another fire in a few days. This might have put the turtles up pulled down with the plaster, but kill again save them, supporters from attending a blaze, supporters from attending in the chapter room they are lucky
Even though the women are eating in the chapter room they are lucky that they are able to "feast" at all.
