Tennessee Stop Signs Begin to Be Respected
Student drivers are finally learning to respect the stop sign along Tennessee street, according to a report made by the Lawrence police department today. A law enforcement offense for two or three days" said Chief of Police Will Johns.
The stop signs that the students have been so tempted to disregard until recently are located on each side of Tennessee at Eleventh and Fourteenth and cars going up or down the hills which cross this road forced to come together to stop before crossing but then lose the start if made up the hill, if they were going up, or to stop their coasting so abruptly when going down, many of the students dared to speed on over the traffic "bumps." And almost as many found lodged in the Lawrence until they "made pene" with the chief by means of a check or a small roll of well-worn

Orientals Blame America
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1927
In discussing the question of "America As the Foreign Student See It" at the Westminster student forum Sunday, Shadrach Paul of India, Charles Yiu of China, and Philip Vu of India pointed out that this country does not deserve praise alone but also blame.
"Too Much Class Distinction," Forum Is Told
The foreign students declared that although there is no official recognition of titles in America there is a great demand for them, placed upon artificial and superficial things by Americans. "America deals in superlatives and looks with too much favor upon the wealthy indulgent," the opinion of the foreign students.
While the students from other countries recognize America's weak points, they also offered praise for the recognition of the laboring class and the fact that college students do not look down upon those of their class mates who earn their own living while in school.
It was pointed out that America has less need of imperialism than most of European countries because she has natural resources and plenty of land to make people upon an equal plane while many of the other countries have vast reserves and permanent neighbors dependent upon their neighbors for the necessities of life.
Orange tinted cheeks and raven hair may prove disastrous, the university women are warned by Dr. A. K. Woolf, a psychiatrist at the University of Minnesota. Shaded powders and brilliant lipsticks are poisonous as these cosmetics contain dyes that are diarrheal often bring severe illness to the user.

Initial Step Taken for Naval Control by Three Powers
of Coolidge
Washington, March 8. Definite informal negotiations have been initiated by the United States with Great Britain in a 3-power pact to limit naval craft.
(United Press)
The new Coolidge plan exclusively reported by the United Press on Feb. 12 is now urged on Great Britain and Japan as a result of the French and Italian rejection of the original Coolidge 5-power pact proposal.
Conference May Be Held
Conference may be need
Following Great Britain and Japan's acceptance of the 5-power provision, they are now undertook to willingly accept negotiations which may lead to a 3-power conference probably next summer.
The conference will not be called unless its success seems assured as a result of the advance negotiations.
Present discussions reveal certain obstacles. Great Britain is apparently willing to accept parity with the United States in auxiliary craft, but not unless this be obtained by increasing the number of American cruisers rather than by reducing Great Britain's cruiser strength.
Japan Is Dissatisfied
Japan desires a larger auxiliary relation for herself than the 3 in the 3-5 ratio suggested by President Coolidge, and also a proper ratio for auxiliary craft. Britain further hesitates to limit her cruise and submarine strength as long as France refuses to limit submarines.
A possible way out of this difficulty is said to be a clause in the proposed power treaty providing tenure race to meet possible French increases.
Swarthout Continues Practice for Musical Event
Choral Union Rehearses
The Lawrence choral union is at present busy rehearsing for the two oratories to be presented during musical week. In a few weeks the chorus and orchestra will begin to rehearse together.
At last Tuesday's rehearsal the complete list of the music which the chorus will sing in the oratorio "King Olaf" was gone through. "The chorus," said Dean D, M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts
this morning, "is beginning to sing the numbers with freedom. Shades of expression are beginning to creep in and a technique is slowly being devised."
Dean Swarthout urges that all members of the chorus be in their places by 7:30 sharp in order that practices may have as much time as possible, for there are only one and one-half months left for practice.
M. U. Man Has Unique Way to Occupy Leisur
Horace Allen, senior at the University of Missouri, was mentioned in the Columbia Missouri because of the strong strength of his shoulder time. Allen has a bar bell weighing 100 pounds and an additional 100 pounds of attachable weights. His handling of the bar bell requires exceptional strength and endurance.
Alen says that his greatest difficulty is with landlades and bagagemen. He has often carried the bar out of dire necessity, when moving and has also had to encurge frequent tides of rattle landlades because of ruined rugs, scratches floors and broken furniture.
In addition to taking this exercise, Allen is carrying 15 hours in the School of Medicine, plays in the musical theater, gives lessons on the flute and clarinet.
It is the opinion of George Wadshack, registrar of the University of Oklahoma that a "B" student is better fitted to go out into the world than an "A" student. His argument is that a student that makes a "B" is capable of making an "A" average but is interested in outside activities. This means the student with activities does not get to put as much time on his books but is at the same time better fitted to meet the world.

Budget May Be Reduced
Lindley and Brandenburg Plea Before Committee
At a meeting of the ways and means committee of the house of the state legislature yesterday, the Kanu movement threatened with a dramatic reduction.
An appropriation of $200,000 for the replacement of Snow hall, which has for many years been condemned, was strenched out. However, following a plea by Chancellor Lindley and W.A. Anderson, the burg Teachers' College, a further hearing was granted and set for this afternoon or tomorrow.
The appropriation bill calls for the replacement of Snow hall at a cost of $200,000, a new hospital unit and nurses home at Rosedale, a $64,000 appropriation for rehabilitation of the library and an addition to the laboratories at K. S. A. C, and $150,000 appropriation building at Hays State Normal.
Normal.
The University of Wisconsin, under the direction of Dr. A. Meklioukoin, former president of Amherst College, is conducting an experiment with 125 freshmen students on new methods of study and of teaching. The freshmen selected will live in certain dormitories where professors will have charge of their studier. The instructors will choose their own room from all of them and away from all traditions. No lectures will be given to the students, but their study and research will be guided.
Dean John B. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, proposes the abandonment of their present system of A, B, C, D, E, F. He suggests that students receive relative ratings beginning with "1" for the highest and going down through the number enrolled.
More sophomores were dropped and placed on probation at Dartmouth recently than members of any other university, and more missed for poor scholastic standing.
Statement From Chancellor Brings Answer by Snyder
Senator Defends Figures Published and Gives Myers as Source of Statistics
Senator Snider yesterday afternoon said his figures had been obtained from G. W. Myers, secretary of state and assistant state business manager.
The statement issued Saturday by Chancellor Lindley to the effect that the figures used in the state senate in the debate on the bill to abolish student loan fees were correct and the policy of the committee in refusing to increase the salaries were erroneous and not based on the records of the university, has brought a defending statement from Senator Bob McDonnell of the ways and means committee.
Use Neighboring States
In answer to the comparative features in *Chancellor Lindley* obtained from like institutions in other states, a gentleman from Lawevantshall* rose.
“Our committee believes that in comparing figures of our University with those of other states, governing bodies, we should use Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, and perhaps Missouri, as all those states are our neighbors, and are largely agricultural.” We believe that the same general conditions.
"In most of the comparative tables submitted by Chancellor Lindley he uses some of those states and then adds such states as Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, most of which states have a taxable value of at least $10 million of Kansas, with a taxable valuation of several times larger."
Asks Equal Publicity
Asks Equal Publicity
Senator Snyder asked that the members which printed Chancecelle candidates be contacted an equal chance to get some of the figures submitted to the senate committee before the public."
"The committee is not explaining that the salaries are too high, the chairman continued, "now that Dr. Smith has been hired," he said. He is paid too much money. We consider them high class men, loved and respected in every way; but we could not see the need of a raise in their compensation this time under present conditions."
Cites World Almanac
Cities World Abundant. The senator cited almanac figures as part of the basis for the committee's figures.
"The World Almanac for 1927 in the end the head 'American College and Universities' based on the 1926 educational directory of the United States bureau of education, department of the interior, shows in part, its location. Kansas University 4,061 380
Nebraska University 5,900 315
Oklahoma University 6,800 218
Missouri University 3,800 203
Senator Snyder again suggested that the schools raise their fees to the same amount as charged in Nebraska and South Carolina. K. U. will pay the same amount of fees as the Kansas student at M. U.
Press Received by School
Machine to Be Used for Work in Demonstration
The School of Engineering has recently received from the Western Electric Company at Chicago, a No. 75, Hiss Punch Press which it to be set up in Fowler shops and used for instructing students in machine construction. It is the policy of the Western Electric Company to send machinery which has become of no use to them to the engineer in charge of the production following the common practice among big businesses of scrapping equipment which is no longer usable. The machines are delivered without cost to the schools.
The School of Engineering has been materially handicapped in some branches by the fact that previously it has not had a machine of this type. It is planned to use the press printing machine designed for cutting, punching holes, and other things in general machine form work.
The Iowa State University is to have a new Chemical Engineering building on its campus.
