Magazine Publishes
Appropriation Resume
of Kansas Legislature
Graduate Publication Contain Comment by C. F. Scott on Activities
The March number of the Graduate Magazine is off; the press with a resume of the adjourned legislature's activities toward the University app
Charles F. Scott, president of the Alumni Association, in his president'sarge suggests the following:
Kansas Has Progressed
"And yet when we look back over the 30 years that have passed since these schools were founded with pride as we note the tremendous growth that the University has made.
Thirty years ago we should have been happy if the legislature had given us $150,000 a year for maintenance. Now look at the $800,000 which the present government thinks it think it has been, all has allocated to us.
Scott Makes Suggestion
"Members of the house and senate committees on ways and means were satisfied in situations and the reports they made after their cursory and casual inspection apparently were given more weight than the carefully considered recommendations of the board of regents based upon its year and a half appointment, but it is exasperating.
"But disappointed we are we, I do not think we should be discouraged. So far as I can now recall we, of the University, have been disappointed by the appointment, so recall the charges and treatment and grief with which the action of the legislatures which not back in the ninies was received by the regents of that decade. We asked for money for new buildings and did not get it. We were satisfied with our one good man after another leave our faculty because we did not get it."
Boy Scouts Visit Museum

Committee Seeks Student Support on Store Project
All Books Would Be Sold at List Price; Women Vote on Issue Thursday
There will be a board of directors composed of four students, two juniors and two seniors, and three faculty members. All three shareholders. This board will have charge of the general policies and management of the store and will select a full time manager, who in turn will probably fire student assistants.
The co-operative book store enterprise cannot be a success without the support of the students and faculty, and according to the committee in charge. It is not in any way a political issue, but is merely being placed before the students to seize their authority. The co-operators, Criticism and any ideas or suggestions will be cordially received, and there will be an inquiring reporter column printed in the Kansan giving student opinions and reactions to the question. The issue will be placed before the women voters of the University at St. Louis, where they will vote on it at their regular spring election in a few weeks.
A tentative plan has been outlined by the committee for the management of the store. The books will be sold at list price. Since the minimum capital required to establish such a store is about $7600, this will mean that every $125 paid will be paid. The shares will be sold to faculty and to students at $2 each, and on the graduation of a shareholder, the store will buy back the shares as the earnings justify. Dividends will be paid at the end of each school year, or possibly at the end of each semester, and only in case of any cash on the number of shares owed, but on the amount of purchases from the store.
The committee has been definitely assured that a desirable location can be secured on the campus, and since the plan is fairly well moulded, they are desirably of obtaining student opinion on the question.
Family Is Not Dying Out
Such Is Decision of Sociology Department Group
"That the family is more firmly fixed today than ever before and is not dying out" is the decision of the "family group" of P. W. F. Blackmar, professor of sociology. Thint the change of the position of women is one of the main reasons for this transition is their bad behavior that divides man can be reduced by education and preparation for marriage.
Professor Blackmar has divided his classes into groups of ten. These groups study the conditions in their own localities and make reports on them in class. Such topics as religion, events, and family are discussed.
The group on religion reported that although the radio makes a big difference in church attendance, that difference is not due to it and therefore it is better to keep the church established. However, it decided it would be an advantage to have a considerable consolidation of the number for a variety of belief in the church.
That vocational training in school is an economic gain and that the student should be encouraged to choose what there is the idea of the education group.

Scheduled service on March 28—the world's largest vacuum tube, of 100 kilowatt power as compared to the 11 watt tubes used in the last stage of modern dry cell operated radio sets, has been in use at WCY here for the last year by the General Electric company.

Admiral Williams Reports Shanghai Is Peaceful Today
Native Mob Fails to Incite Countrymen to Storm Settlements or Barracks
(United Press)
Williams' message was timed 4:06 p.m., m. Shanghai time. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur took the report of a mission to the president this morning.
Washington, March 28.—Admiral C. S. Williams,亚里斯蒂亚舰兵 commander, reported to the navy department that Shanghai was quiet today. The second mob action against the international settlement failed to materialize so the commander was able to recall to the ship the orders for a search and arrest of added armed forces seemed to calm the temper of the Chinese.
Refugees Await Attack
Foreign refugees crowded within the settlement at Shanghai were awaiting an attack by the native mob, Agitators tried to incite Chinese to attack "foreign devil" in the settlements. The plan to storm the buildings was met with a swift retaliation. The natives mutilated by the armed men protected gates shouting "Down with the Christians." Posters depicted the picture of Christ on the cross and there were caricatures of amputations to ridicate the ChristianChristians.
Reports from Hang Chow said that the mobs were parading through the city shooting "Down with China-Kiia-Shek." The rumors of dissention in the nationalist party were confirmed in the reports arriving from Hang Chow.
Coolidge Watching Events
As commander-in-chief of the army and navy and the dictator of a foreign policy, President Coolidge in being kept in intimate touch with events from the side of the war to protect American lives and property. The president is called on the telephone almost every night by Secretary of State Kellogg and by Secretary of the Navy Wilb with information. During the day the president and his two secretaries are in almost continuous series of conferences at the White House. On secondeventh day of the naval department personally on the telephone. In normal times all the president's telephoning is done by subordinates.
President Coolidge is keeping perhaps in closer touch with the Chinese situation than with any other American administration. He can rewrite difficult Chinese names and places, with statistics regarding American forces with whom he spoke.
Despite all the activity here, the real "war" is being conducted with a free hand by Admiral Williams. At least, he is communicating at the front in China.
