The plenary session was opened at 10:50 a.m. by Doctor Rafael Ortiz Cuban secretary of state.
"Perhaps some nations of the olk world look with doubt upon this grathen challenge. But we do not seek progress for their own exclusive use; they seek it for the olk."
“If we succeed in solving our lems it will be an investable control button toward arriving at the same point. We are co-operators, not rivals.
"Cannot Found on Hate"
"If American sacrificed thousands of her sons in the world war battle fields, they would not fail to well lend her aid to obtain victory for the same cause on the bloodless field."
"Let us bear in mind that nothing stable can be founded on hate, ambition or rivalry. Me are working for the future more than for the present."
"Our statements were the first to demand in modern times a truce of violence, protection to conciliation voluntary obliquity to equities with our appeal to arm, without embitterment and argument, without cross slaughter.
"The insufficiency of great armament for defence of the supreme interest of humanity has been stained in the annals of the world with horrific crimes. The United Nations proved that only equality and justice can prevent the calamities of war."

University to Reduce Expenditures for Fuel by Remodeling Turbine
New Equipment Will Pay Cos of Installation in Few Weeks Time
The department of buildings and grounds received this morning from the General Electric company a shipment of steam turbine parts which will be used to change the 280 kilowatt unit to a non-condensing unit.
The present turbine is not large enough to generate the power needed and therefore it has not been used for several cars. Necessary equipment has now been purchased to remodel the turbine, and the exhaust steam directly into the heating system, instead of condensing the exhaust, thereby throwing away heat.
The designing engineers of the General Electric company have assures the department of a net saving in true capacity by making the change. In addition to this, the power required to run auxiliary equipment when the machine is used as a condensing unit also be saved. This saving will amount to approximately 10%.
In discussing the matter with C. G. Bayles, superintendent of the buildings and grounds of the building company, said, "All the above figures are very conservative, and we would give great deal more than $643 per month."
The General Electric company expects to begin installation of the equipment today, and it will be used in a facility that is any requirement for steam heat.
"The total cost of installation will be under $1,000 which we consider a very good return on the investment, when it is guaranteed to save the first cost within a period of a month or two." C. G. Beytes this morning.
Tryout Changes Planned
Pen and Scroll to Alter Means of Choosing Members
Pen and Scroll held its first meeting of the semester Tuesday night, Jan 17, at 7:30 in the rest room of central Administration building.
The meeting was strictly a business one. The organization discussed slight changes to the committee plan and considered the extension of the membership in the club. Adil Adamson, c30, president, offered a prize of $10 for the team to attend the next semester and tentative plans for the contest were suggested.
The next meeting will be held on Friday, Feb. 3, at which time representative groups from group within the club will read manuscripts selected at group meetings.
Grave Final Expression Is Artificially Obtained
Some people are evidently under the opinion that the students of this institution are not taking the coming final week seriously enough. This morning two men with a tractie and a pair of goggles spread all over the street in front of Snow hall. Such a scheme was probably adopted in order to bring tears to the eyes of the passing students which may create the impression that they are taking their semester examinations in the proper manner.
A straw vote of the women students of Antioch College revealed a four-fifth vote for smoking. Definite action is to be taken by the college authorities in response to the anti-smoking agitation on the part of the women students against the present rule that smoked.

Geology Field Trip to Be Supervised by Doctor Moore
Plans Completed for Tour Through Seven States to Study Rock Formations
Plans for the summer field course in geology are almost complete, according to Dr. R. C. Moore, state geologist and director of the Utah geology, who will direct the trip.
The group of students making the trip will leave Lawrence July 15, not return about Aug. 25, making the trip to Riverside for truck tracks. They will camp along the way.
The route planned for the trip this summer covers territory of scenic and remote areas, and Doctor Moore is especially familiar by reason of his previous work in this region.
The course carries five hours credit and appears in the catalog as course 65. Regional Geology.
According to present plans, the party will go south from Lawrence through the oil fields of Kansas and Oklahoma, studying the rocks of the area. They will spend a few days in the Arbuckle mountains and the Ardmore basin in southern Oklahoma, where seismic measurements 400 feet of sediments are exposed.
From Oklahoua the party will continue into northern Texas where the students will study fossiliferous Cretaceous and Pennsylvanian rocks; they will also visit the northern Rocky Mountains, where their territory where remarkable fossil eptites of the Permian age have been ound.
They will also visit the Gundalsah mountain, the highest sedimentary rocks in the United States as well as the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico. From that place the party will travel to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, in northern Arizona.
It is planned that by crossing the Painted desert and the Kalah plateau on the Gobi, we will discover canyons and other points of geologic interest in Utah, returning eastward through the mountains of Colorado, to see the rock formation of the rock formations there.
The party is limited to 12 persons and the total number of guests will be the $10 per person. In order to be eligible for the trip a student must have had at least 15 hours of geology
Hope Chests in Vogue One Hundred Years Ago
Funeral for Mrs. Johnson
All the women in the University who have started "hope" chests should go over to the museum for ideas. Of course, they must also be aware of grave danger of mobbing the place, but the guide has promised to try to take care of the crowds. There are many people who need the museum that would make any girl today give up hope entirely. They are the work of Miss Elizabeth Roberts and she made her 1816. There are hand made lace, embroidery that looks almost impossible, and three bed-beds that this woman used to live on the hands. When you look at one of the bed-spreads you can get almost dizzy when you think of the stitches. You will learn that she must have saved nine stitches with every stitch she took, and then stitched day and night. There are even stitching machines that she must have saved woven. And all the cloth that she stitched in the bed-spread is hand-woven. We will give it to Elizabeth Roberts. If we hope all her hopes were fulfilled.
The funeral service for Mrs. Anna Lane Johnson, 75 years old, who died Sunday at Memorial Hospital, was held at the Episcopal church this aft-

Previously the committee had indicated it would await conclusion of the Pan-American conference at Haiti. It is unclear whether expressed their belief that there is no reason for further delay as President Coolidge is returning after open session.
The two resolutions introduced by Senators Heffin and Wheeler were discussed. Heffin would demand direct withdrawal of American marines from Nicaragua and Wheeler wishes to mitigate the negotiations of American investments.
These resolutions may be combined, Borah indicated, or a new resolution proposed by the committee, framed by the committee. Such an investigation would be undertaken by the foreign relations committee appointed by Vice President Dawes.

Havana Meetings May Prove Most Important--Chubb
Change in American Policy
Toward "Domination"
May Be Result
of Parley
Editor's note: This is the first of a series of interviews with professionals who practice what is in, and what may be behind, the events in the World's War.
The Nicaraguan I75g was given extras to applause and the American flag. Conference resumed sessions at Havana this morning, according to press reports from the U.S. State's Nicaragua policy was also definitely injected into the Conference.
The possibility that several Central and South American republics will "kick over the traps" may make the Pan-American conference now in session at Havana, Cuba, one of the most significant stages in Américan re-training efforts. It was indicated by Prof. H. B. Crube of the department of political science today.
British papers freely published predictions when the Conference convened Monday that some of the other countries would break what they believed to be the domination of both America by the United States. Opposition of this report was voiced by a cardinal at Santiago, Chile, in 1923. An Argentinian paper at that time said: "... The Classical phrase 'America' means 'Americans' not means nothing but Americans' and Latin America' for the North Americans." Colombia, Argentina and Pannon were indicated by Professor Stuart as nations most likely to show hostility.
Mexican Delegation Friendly
The Nicaraguan delegation, he pointed out, is of the Conservative party which is at present receiving the assistance of American marines to maintain itself in power and will be used in sympathy with the United States.
Mexico, a nation which would have almost certainly been unfriendly had the conferences two months ago, probably will not give trouble because of a very decided change in the foreign policy of the United States. The appointment of Dwight Morrow as American ambassador to Mexico and a decision of the Mexican supreme court removing one of the major points of controversy in the dispute over whether American companies in Mexico are the main factors in this change.
"A Love Fest Thus Far"
"The events of the next few days will be watched keenly by all the world. The possibilities of what the future holds for Americans of American policy are almost unlimited. So far the conference has been a beautiful love test, but no one has thus far spoken who would possess an interest in the terrors are out of place in Nicaragua.
"The Pan-American Union was formed mainly through the efforts of the United States, which was secretary of state. It had for its avowed purpose the furthering of the trade supremacy of the United States by establishing a theoretic understanding in the western hemisphere. Interwoven with it is the Muruo doctrine which has been used since 1946 to ask Europe to keep hands off in the Americas to a positive one which would allow them to setting Uncle Sam up as a judge of the obligations, duties and welfare of his smaller neighbors. It is because of that they threaten to cause trouble.
First Attempt in 1824
"Five previous conferences have been held since the founding of the union. The first was in Washington in 1889, then successively in Mexico and Chile, in 1916; and Santiago, Chile, in 1923. None of the previous conferences has approached the present one in interest. Twenty-one manors to Havana. The head of the Union's secret is President Machado of Cuba.
"The first attempt to have the United States at such a Pan-American Conference was during J. Q. Adams' wrecked his administration by naming three delegates to go to Panama. One delegate died, one was too busy running for the governorship of New York and was elected to congress. So after all the discussion of medding in foreign affairs, and the violence attacks in congress upon Adams, we forwent for naught. We were forced to give the Congress of Panama in 1725 failed.
If we think the criticism of the administration by congress severe today on our Latin American policy, it is important that we "punish" President Adama.
