United States Has No Foreign Policy, Says Thomas Que Harrison
Our Theory Is One of Silence and Negation According
"The United States has no foreign policy," declared Thomas Quar Harrison, field secretary for the American Service Committee, speaking at the White House after Myer hull today. Continuing to speak of American policy in the Orient Mr. Harrison continued, "Our policy is one of negation and silence. It is too bud that we cannot have a secure future by directing our affairs in the East."
According to Mr. Harrison the creed of the Eastern world might well be expressed in the following statement, "We orientals have certain important things to talk over with the West and understand how to manage they understand—the bayonet."
The subject for Mr. Harrison's lecture at this final forum for the somester was named as "My Inception of World Peace From the Orient."
Tells Oriental Creed
No Danger of War
Mr. Harrison said that the spirit of anti-militarism was to be found in no uncertain degree among the youth of Japan. Assigning a reason for this phenomenon, Mr. Harrison, the youth of Japan is anti-militaristic primarily because of a genuine spirit of idealism as expressed in the League of Nations and secondarily because of its militarist character has developed in the past few years." "It is highly possible that a communist revolution may come within the next ten years if this spirit, as found among the students, continues with a solidarity at the press rate of growth.
There is no danger of a war instigated by oriental powers, according to Mr. Harris. He said, "The only imperialism of the United States."
"Because of the unequal treaties in China and the continuation of the imperialistic policy of the United States, the protection of American interests through antagonism and no courts or through friendship and no courts. The abundance of these treaties would mean as much to the future friendship as to the former that the Boxer indemnity has meant in the past," he said.
Mr. Harrison spoke this afternoon at 4:30 at the auditorium of central administration building on the sub-site, "Is America for us?" He said this evening at 7:30 at Henley house on "A Basic Philosophy of Life."
Art Institute Accepts Water Color by Matterr
Prof. Karl Mattern of the department of drawing and painting, was notified Monday that one of his water colors, "The River," has been accepted by the jury of selection at the seventh international water color exhibit sponsored by the Art Institute of Chicago.
The jury _for this_ exhibition is critical, and it is considered an honor for an artist to have his work accepted.
"The River" was exhibited here with several other water colors by Professor Mattern last fall.

Cinder-Ella Number of Sour Owl to Be on Sale Tomorrow
The last number of the Sour Owl,
the Cinder-Ella number, will appear
on the campus tomorrow morning.
There have been 2200 copies printed
The cover for this number, which was designed by Jack Kincardine, c²⁷ was printed in Troy, N. Y. There will be 32 pages and all of the features are by local taken. An unusual copy of paper was turned in for this number.
One of the features will be a page of the inviter history of the University of Kansas by J. W. Murray, managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World. Frank Tiffany, c28, and Wayde Wagstrand, c28, will give their ideas of Cinderella in the issue of The Magazine. Mr. M. Bradley, c28, will tell what professors do in his article, "Professorial Secrets Out."
The Cinder-Ella number is in the sixth Sour Owl to appear this year, and the seventh to come, thought best by Signa Delta Chi to omit the seventh number because of the crowded program toward the end of the year and the spring fever after which it started.

Indians Will Play Game of Football in Stadium Friday
Tarahamuras Often Have
Contest Over a Field
Several Miles
in Length
As an added feature for the twenty-fourth annual interscholastic track meet which takes place on the Memorial stadium cinder path and field tomorrow afternoon, Dr. F. C. Allen has arranged for the game to be now in Lawrence, to play a game of their primitive tribal football.
The game is in every sense football, as the rules make it a foul to touch the ball with any part of the body other than the feet. The Indians use a wooden ball, larger than a baseball, and have acquired amazing skill in propelling the ball with their feet.
Play Between Villages
Because of the fact that shoes are the least of their worries, the Indians have unusually large flat feet. By turning up their toes they grip the ball somewhat better than with more velocity than a baseball can be thrown with the arm. This is hard for an American to comprehend, Doctor Allen points out, and he doubled their ability to do this in the Olympics in Florida in Faital at the time of the Relays.
As played in their native homes in Mexico, the Tarahumarans do not play between goals but between villages. The playing field is thus often a scoreboard that runs across all Indian ranas a distance of 82 miles in Texas it was with some difficulty that they could be persecuted not to kick a ball the entire distance. They could not be made to realize that they were not playing a distance race and not a football drill.
The Indians even seetted at the idea of a six mile race which it was first planned they would run at the Texas Relays. They gave their interviewers to understand that they were distance runners and not sprint
Exhibition Is 3 O'clock
One of their favorite pastimes, acording to E. C. Aguirre, director o
deer favorite postmaster, according to E. C. Aguirre, director of athletics at the University of Denver, Lev levy, the young man of the tribe takes up the trail of the deer and chase that animal until it drops from exhansion. It is claimed that sometimes they keep on the trail several days until the deer gives up, unable to elude them further.
The exhibition football game will be played about 3 p. m. tomorrow afternoon. The Indians will also work with the defense, who are the long races to be run Saturday. The football game will be between the men and the women, three on a side, as the women of the tribe are in the queer sport are their brothers.
Phi Kappa Lets Contract
Chapter House Will Be Located on Present Property
The Phi Kappa fraternity plans to build an English type house which will accommodate 40 members. The exterior will be finished with rough stucco and light gray brick, and trimmed with stone. French doors will open on paved terraces from the north and east side of the living
A large living room, reception room, dining room, house mother's suite and kitchen will be on the first floor. The chapter room will be in the second floor. The rooms are 11 dressing rooms and on the third floor are two dormitories.
The new house will be built on the site of the old house. Building material is already being hauled to the job.
Ray L. Gamble and Hayes G. Pottenger, architects of Topken, drew the plans. The contract was let to Alton Green, a contractor of Lawrence.
Sigma Delta Chi Installs Officers
Sigma Delta Chi, men's professional journalistic fraternity, will meet tonight at the Sigma Chi house.
The coming issue of the Sour Owl will be discussed. The last publication will be ready Friday. Installation of officers will also take place at the meeting. George Alden is retiring president of the fraternity.
Doctor OBrien Speaks on Oral Examination for Master's Degree
of Applicant
Hour or Two of Verbal Tests
Dr. F. R. P, O'Brien spoka to the graduate students of education yesterday afternoon in the women's rest room in central Administration building on the subject of oral examination requirements for a master's degree.
"A master's degree," he said,
"should imply that the possessor has
much the same proficiency in his pro-
fessional work as the managers in the trade
guilds had in theirs."
Recognition as a master in the guilds, he pointed out, was gone only through apprenticeship, and it *not always possible under present druals to grant a master's degree* (or *after a period of achievement.
"A much more feasible way," he said, "of determining the individual's mastery is that of imagining that he is out in the teaching field." It is through an hour or so of oral examination, according to Doctor J. that the applicant's proficiency in his chosen field is rated by the committee.
The applicant's knowledge of factual material, he continued, in only one of the things taken into consideration, in grazing as a master's degree.
The individual's ability to apply acquired knowledge and to think through proposed situations liable to be met in the teaching field is considered of great importance by the committee, according to its own attitude, be said, may hinder or help the applicant appear at his best.
Mis-Trial Shown in Sui
Judge Complains of Newspaper Action in Filed Case
(Closed Press)
Detroit, April 21—A mistrial in the million dollar label libel of Aaron Sapiro against Henry Ford was declared today by federal judge Fred M. Raymond on motion of the millionaire's council.
Judge Raymond listened to an hour and a half's argument by William Gallagher, council for Sapiro, and Stewart Hanley, council for Ford, regarding the motion before making known his decision. Then the judge completely reviewed the matter. He bitterly complained of the newspaper's accusation, which by editorial wisdom they should not have published.
The department of justice has been handling the investigation but has made no disclosures as yet.
"The court gravely doubts the seriousness of the offense of which the juror (Mora, Cora Hoffman) is now on trial but if the offense is a fact it would be a serious one," said Judge Raymond.
W A A Plans Banquet
At a meeting of the Women's Athletic Association Wednesday, plans were made for the spring banquet to be held at the Thimble tea room on Thursday, May 5. Installation of officers, and awarding of sweaters and letters will take place at this time, according to Dora Gelger, president.

Class Regulations for 1927 Seniors Outlined by Starr Rules Passed at Meeting Provide for Activity Fee of Seven
Dollars
The immediate requirements for all seniors who expect to graduate were outlined in an interview this morning as follows: Stark, president of the senior class.
Starr stated that the most imperative thing now is for the students to order their senior invitations. Orders for them are now being made at the business office in central Administrative Building, and they will be ordered up until Saturday noon.
"All the things which members of this year's graduating class must do were determined at the senior meeting lae·* week," Sturk explained. "None of the requirements are a result of faculty action, as some students believe, and all who plan to graduate must meet them."
Few Students Ordered
"Although few students have ordered them, there is but little possibility that the time will be extended." Starr explained, "as the order with the engraving company must be sent as soon as possible, the will arrive here inAMPLE time." Members of the invitations committee feel that the students have had plenty of time to order, and they are therefore reluctant to extend the time, as do the want the invitations to arrive later. as was the case last year.
The seven dollars senior dose decided upon at the meeting must be paid by May 1, Starr said. It is not necessary to call the caps and gowns may be ordered, Starr explained that the most simple procedure for seniors would be to pay their dues at the business office at the same time they order their invitations.
To Wear Gowns
"On paying the dues each senior will receive a receipt for his cap and gown," he said, "and then they should go to room 18." Meryl's hall, where individual measurements for the caps and gowns are being made."
A contract has been signed with Chicago firm to furnish the cap and gowns, but the number wanted and the sizes must be known by the committee life so they can make a definite order.
The seven dollars dues will take care of all the senior activities except the diploma fee which is ten dollars. Of each seven dollars paid by seniors, according to the budget decided upon, they will pay a portion of the stay in the Alumni Association, two dollars for the cap and gown, one dollar for the senior memorial and one dollar for class activities which include the senior breakfast and other class day exercises, and also a ninety dollar deficit remaining from the junior prom of last year. This must be made up by money can be applied on a memorial.
Is a Lack of Interest
Starr discussed the progress being made by the other senior committees. He said that the memorial committee, of which Lewis Krings is chairman, is devoting much time in the selection of a suitable memorial. Although nothing has been definitely decided upon, the suggestions which have been most favorably received are, a memorial building, a garden, an Oversea avenue, a table for the reading room in the Memorial building, or a place in the Memorial building.
Starr deluded the lack of interest in the senior activities as shown by members of the class. "It is a sham," he said, "that the seniors are so deep in their work as to let 75 carry on the business of 700."
