Officer to Speak on "Radicalism" at Last Open Forum
Major M. A. Palen Expected to Draw Large Crowd at Address Next Tuesday
That Major B. A. Palen, executive officer of the 31st infantry reserves, who will speak at the open forum on "Radicalism" at the University next Tuesday evening, will not come to "organize a campaign to counteract the influence of communism and radicalism" as reported recently in the Kansas City Star, by Maj. Carl Kapka, is the belief of TeL Shultz, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., to address a regular forum at the request of the Y. M. C. A., Shultz believes.
The Star for May 17 carried a story detailing plans of the Kansas City, Kana, war veterans for "an orchard" in her hometown and radicalism at Kansas schools and colleges." The campaign comes largely as a result of the appearance of Thomas Q. Hornsby, labeled as a speaker here several weeks ago.
Officers Will Attend
"So far as I know, there are no commuters at the University of Kansas, nor have there been any communist speakers," Shults said in an interview this morning. "No one who was a member of that organization excused him of being a communist."
Major Kapla is recruiting a delegation to accompany Palen to the meeting. Members of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars organized reserves and the citizens military committee are being invited to join the delegation. Lieutenant Colonel Sarnoff Lawrence will also attend the forum.
Opinions May Be Given
Opinions may be given
It is the opinion of Shultz and military authorities of the University that Katie Baskerville uninformed. The belief is due partly to the fact that he has erroneous knowledge of the address, which will be on "Radicalism," not on "Communism" as she announces.
The meeting will be an open forum and anyone in attendance may express opinions or ask questions, according to Shultz. "It will not be a meeting at which a campaign or legislation will be passed," he said, "All who are interested in the general subject of propaganda and radicalization will be invited." Myers hall, Tuesday evening. This will be the last forum of the year.

Kansas Track Team
Favored to Capture
Annual Valley Meet
Coaches Decide to Score Five Places This Year; Four Formerly Used
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1927
Lincoln, May 29 — Missouri Valley track courses, in session here today, changed the scoring system for the twentythird game, more points for five places instead of four. First place will score five points; second, four; third; three; fourth, two; and fifth.
The Jayhawk track team, under the leadership of Coach Huff, are in Lincoln this week-end, where they are doped for the first time in many years to win the Missouri valley outdoor title. Oklahoma, the winners of the indoor meet are also favorites and will push the Jayhawk entrals all the way up. The Wildcats braske, Missouri and Amcs are all due to score high. Washington and the Kansas Aggies are the dark horses of the meet.
The aprists will be the features of the meet with Grady of Kansas, Farley of Missouri, and Best of Ohio at Kansas. The meet takes place at the Jayhawk flash, is a likely winner in view of his victory in both dashes at the Kansas-Missouri dual meet at Saturday. Best of Oklahoma Apples and Minnesota will be weekend and will bear watching. McInerney, Kansas broad jump star is another speedster entered in the dashes. These four men will probably dominate the field in the short
The half-mile relay record is in danger with Kansas the favorite, while Missouri is doped to finish a close second. The broad jump record probably will go by the boards with McNeirsey of Kansas and Lancaster for third, while Mullin of Oklahoma is a consistent performer in this event.
Hurdles Look Close
Desobras, K. U., captain, Dunnson, Oklahoma entry, and Best, Oklahoma entry. Each week the hurries, Best topped the law sticks in the remarkable time of 238 last week. These events will be close, with valley records in danger all of time.
All of the weight records are to be bombarded with Thornhill, of Kansas, Rhinford and Laird of Grinnell, Brown, Tiger entry, Morgan of Kentucky, and James F. Gosling as the favored entries. Thornhill should take the shot and discus if past showings are to be judged, while this pair will fight it up for the invuln.
The quarter mile run will likely go to Roll of the Oklahoma Agkies, although Cooper of Kansas, is a badder. The Oklahoma Agkie quartet will also take the mile relay if the dope runs true to form.
Drake should take first and second in the high jump with Brunk and Carle going better than 6 feet 2 inches. The half mile run is a problem with three such stellar players as Johnson, Nebraska, Conger, Ames and Thomas. They are teammates on the barrier. Dope seems to point to the Cornhusner entry but he will have no cinch if he manages to break the ape ahead of the other two athletes.

Youthful Aviator Begins His Flight for Orteig Prize
Charles Lindbergh Fliee
From New York at 7:15
This Morning
for Paris
(Quincy Press)
Halfhawk, May 20,
A gray airplane believed to have been that of Charles Lindbergh was seen near Bridge Water, Nova Scotia. It was sighted at 12:45 Eastern time.
Roosevelt Field, New York, May 20. Charles E. Lindbergh alone and without ceremony trailed off in his silver monoplane this morning, shouting to his friends that tomorrow he would be flying on the 7:155 AM daylight-saving time. When next seen this daring youngster of 25 was flying so low over Long Island he would hardly have cleared the trees to if he had been going over land. Last night Lindbergh said he didn't know when he would fly about 11 p. m., in nest night favorable weather reports came to him. A few hours later he appeared at the flying field with a crowd of about one thousand people. The mechanics pronounced the machine ready. He looked over his cargo, came out, and looked at it.
Lindbergh turned to his controls, glanced at his instruments and speeded his engines. The plume began to bow toward the ground. Lindbergh was all nervous intensity and there was not a trace of his usual smile. The machine picked up speed and rolled away. Lindbergh was doing the nudacious thing by himself, too easy way. If he failed to rise he would have crashed into trees and houses.
He might just as well have gone another direction and had a clear runway.
Now that spring is upon us, a word of warning. Though love is blind, the neighbors are not.—Willamette Collegian.
Slowly the machine began to rise and the crowd cheered as daylight could be seen. The plane became smaller and smaller and finally merged with the plane. Lindbergh, alone, was away on his supreme adventure.
For the next 30 or 40 hours he plans to sit there unable to rise, his hand on the control and able to see ahead only by an uncertain periphere. There will be the Atlantic bounce of the mood of the moth to break the monkey.
"I see you in Paris," said Byrd.
"When I get into the cupcake," he answered slowly, "it is like getting into a death chamber and if I get out in Paris it will be like a pardon from he governor."
Grover Whalen, Commander Richard Byrd and Anthony Fokker in turn wished him luck as he prepared to move away.
Detroit, May 20.—Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, mother of the nudacious youth who set off to Paris, faced her chemistry class this morning in Cass High School as though nothing had happened.
Paris, May 20—Charles Lindbergh's lonely challenge today gripped the sympathy and imagination of Paris. The great city was stirred by news of his departure. News agencies and newspapers were deluged by telephone calls mostly by French and German kings and where he would arrive. All expressed the hope he would succeed.
The naval hydrographic bureau concurred in the weather bureau's report on conditions at Grand Bank but it did not. The bureau also disanced the weather would be perfect.
Lindbergh is expected to arrive at Le Bourgfield, the Paris air port. Upon receipt of the news that Lindbergh will be flying onboard waste that conceals Nunberg and Coll, officials made final preparations to receive the visitor. Special attention is being given to the new Geico car. It was presumed he would arrive after nightfall Saturday.
Washington, May 20—Weather conditions over the great circle route, the shortest route between New York and Paris were reported to be less favorable than over the so-called steamer lane route somewhat to the south. The weather there that Lindbergh would encounter fog off. Grand Bank, Newfoundland.

Farm land in the parish is valued at $8,000,000.
Lansing, Mich., May 20—The first of the horrible funerals resulting from the manical dynaming in Bath was conducted at St. Mary's Catholic church for Mrs. Keyyhoe, who was held responsible for the death toll of 44 lives. Between ten and twenty individual funerals were being planned. The sermon of Mrs. Keyyhoe was brief and reflected the nature of the tragedy, the text being, "Pather, you men for they know not what they do."
Lincoln, Neb., May 20—Records were endangered today as track and field stars of the Missouri valley universities gathered for the annual conference meet. Already this season 10 out of the 16 events of the conference meet have either been equaled or broken.

Flood Relief Looms as Important Issue in Presidential Race
Reed's Call for Special Session Causes Capital to Talk About 1928
Washington, May 18- What effect the Mississippi flood situation may have on the political future of President Coolide, Secretary of Commerce Heover, and Senator James A. Reed, is causing deep discussion A. reed. Most developments show these men most vitally involved.
Democrats and independent Republicans are generally putting up a cry for an immediate extra session of congress to plan aid.
Authorized Parties Friday May 20
Senator Reed, prospective candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, has twice unsuccessfully urged the president to call an extra session and it is expected he will have a large hand in the Chicago meeting.
The officials of 27 states have been called to meet at Chicago June 1 to talk flood relief and are expected to urge a special session.
Republican leaders believe that an extra session would be a political civility with the senate so closely related. The Republican majority is only one.
The situation may develop into a nation-wide movement to bring pressure on the president for an extra session, in which case a political effect with far reaching results will probably come out of it.

"Swimming Hole" Vandal Sprints Home in BV D'
"And when I became a man I put away childish things," has become the motto of the freshman who was caught on the banks of Potter lake last night tying the swimmers' clothes into knots.
"Never again," said he as he arrived home in bibion B. In V, D's after traversing about half the alleys in town, he used in his inappropriate attire.
He was captured in the act by some fifteen boys who were sneaking a moonlight swim and after making him unite the knots he had so industriously tied he was forced to climb up on the diving pier. They then climbed up after him and gloefully pitched him into the lake.
After keeping him out in the wateh for sometime which he maintained was very cold and a dirty trich, he came to the wateh. They then hold a council of war and decided to give him a bit or tracel training. He was released in his B. V. D.'s and promised immunity I he could escape. He made his debut as a running trainer. Hereafter he has deided to lay aside childish things.

John H. Parker Tells of Research Work at Cambridge University
"The increasing number of American research students in residence is a feature of the development of our university since the war," said Prof. John H. Parker of the agromentry of Kansas State Agricultural College last night. Professor Parker's research students and search Students in Cambridge University" at the regular May meeting of the Kansas Chapter of the Society of Sigma Xi, held at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of central Admins
Professor Parker said that about twenty of the total number of 25 research students at Cambridge air from the United States. He also said that Cambridge is conservative also admitting research students from American colleges and university colleges, but he listed list which is not a long one.
Much Outside Reading Required for a Degree From English School
"Obees admitted, the facilities for graduate study and research work at Cambridge are indeed excellent. There is very little red tare to cure "lousemen," "fungus" or "milers" to worry about, and every encouragement to do a real piece of individual research in one's chosen field is offered. Attendance at lectures is purely in general, not for the pleasure of one choice. It is expected that the candidate for a degree will have done a goodly amount of outside reading, will be familiar with the literature of graduate study, and will credit original dissertation."
Professor Parker stated that recently the university senate has passed a strict rule providing that in the future no one can under any circumstances get a degree without spending at least two years "in status poplarlari" in Cambridge. This action is based on the general desirability of keeping Cambridge standards of graduate study up to the very high level required by the job that the life at Cambridge cannot be fully appreciated in one year.
Professor Parker also pointed out some of the characteristics of Cambridge which make it different from universities in the United States. Following the address there was initiation and social hour.
Lovell E. Corran, professor of civil engineering, and George E. Johnson, professor of zoology, from Kansas University, who was dug into the fraternity, Prof. A. K. Nabours, of the zoology department from K. S. A. C. was present.

Council Will Allow Farewell Parties Under Regulations
New Rules Should Eliminate Undesirable Features of Last Social Functions
At the same time all the fraternity house presidents were holding a meeting also at which they resolved to approve measures passed by the council.
"Farewells" will be given this year under new regulations passed by the new council and approved by the house presidents. These regulations were adopted at a special meeting held yesterday.
Council is Not Opposed
After a great deal of discussion, the council declared that it was not opposed to a Parental Action and opposed to the manner in which they have been given in the past. If any are to be given this year, they must be conducted strictly in observance with all University rules. It was pointed out that the students themselves are not the ones who do things that are questionable at the Parental Action or the univided guests of town and the unvided guests are the ones who cause most of the trouble.
The new council went on record as favoring strict observance of rules and regulations of the University of Kansas and strict enforcement of all student disciplinary rules. The new regulations provide for adequate chaperonage by faculty members and supervision by student committees, who after the party will hold in their office until the party women as to the manner in which the party was conducted and of the conduct of those present.
Regulations Are Announced "Farewell" will be authorized this year only on the following basis:
(a) That, if possible, the alumni adviser for the fraternity be present;
(b) That, if necessary, faculty members be invited to chapernote the party.
(c) That, in addition to the senior officer of the fraternity being present, at least three other students be delegated to be responsible for the good conduct and character of the fraternity property. This includes visitors as well as alumni and members.
(6) The names of these responsible persons are to be submitted with the application for a party.
(e) Individual statements, signed by these selected students, are to be forwarded to the dean of women the day following the "Firewealla," giving their opinion as to the conduct of all present during the party.
(1) That a copy of these requirements be posted on the bulletin board of each house giving a "Farewell!" varty.
(r) Some of the fraternities request that alum return for any occasion refrain from bringing inoxidable of any kind to the fraternity, and may not require it at this time, but that it apply to visitors as well.
The reasons for the regulations, according to the council, may be summed up in one phrase "Common sense, the respect of the rights of others, and the good name of the fraternities and the University."
