Students' Forum Opposes Present Nicaraguan Policy
Resolution Also Passee
Favoring Arbitration
for Mexican
Trouble
By practically a unanimous vote the forum held yesterday afternoon to consider the Nicaraguan situation and to reconsider the all armed forces of our government with withdraw from Nicaragua, and that the United States submit its differing views.
Prof. H, B. Chubb, instructor in the political science department and a close student of international affairs and foreign relations, history of car affairs with Newgrange
In 1906 there was a chronic condition of revolution in that country. The United States persuaded the Central American countries then to establish its alienships a court of justice and the two republicans of 1909 two Americans were killed and we broke off diplomatic relations with Nicaragua. About this time Diaz came in as president and established such friendly relations with this country that he appealed to the United States to grant him a divorce and divest him of his office and Secretary of State Knox sent in marines, which remained there until 1925.
Abolished Central American Court
A treaty to pay Nicaragua $3,000,
000 for an option in perpetuity on a canal route, for a naval base, and for two islands commanding the Central American coast was first submitted to the senate in 1911. It did not pass until 2011. The United States abolished the Central American court, because it completely ignored it.
Professor Chubb explained that Sacasa is more nearly an elected official than Diaz because he was duly elected vice-president and Diaz has come into what power he has only by force. The policy of the United States, as expressed by Former Secretary of State Hughes, is that we have to give our power to come into power by力保. If we low this policy we can not recognize Diaz as president of Nicaragua, Professor Chubb believes.
After the introductory statement the forum was thrown open to discussion. This took the form of questions addressed to Professor Chubb
Professor Chubb said that he had received a resolution from the Association of Professors of International Law requesting the administration to arbitrate our differences with Mexico and intend to telegraph his indebtance.
Many Questions Asked
Some of the questions asked in the view City Star City Imperial indicated. Has the administration gone as far as the Star indicated? What insurance have we that Sacasan will be against us if he comes into power? Why does the city airport so strongly the administration?
Resolutions Presented
Ted Shultz, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., presented two resolutions to the forum in order to get some concrete expression of the
Not a person in the group voted for the first resolution. It reads: "We feel that the present American policy is right and urgently request that we continue to recognize only the Diaz government. We also urgently request that the United States intervene so that no longer until such time as she is willing to admit the just rights of American property."
The resolution that was adopted and will be sent to the president, the two senators from Kansas, and the secretary of state reads:
"In as much as American life and property of citizens of the United States has not actually been endangered, I feel that the maintenance of marines in Nicaragua is unfair, we urgently request that all armed forces of our government be immediately withdrawn from Nicaragua with secure resolution number 2005.
"We also urgently request that the United States submit its differences with Mexico to arbitration in accordance with our treaty of 1848."
From a survey recently conducted it was found that the University of Missouri ranks first and the University of Kansas second in having the largest enrollment for schools of religion.
New Cigaret Measure Still Has Chance to Win
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1927
The Kansas cigarette tax law was given a fair chance yesterday to be kept alive when the house of representatives voted to give the bill consideration in the house committee of the whole. The adherents of the tax measure must obtain three out of the five missing votes and hold all that it had on the roll past yearish, however many others have done. After Harold McGuinn, author of the bill, closed the debate for the bill and Miss Hains made the closing argument to kill the measure, roll call was asked for on the motion, 59 voting to kill the bill and 61 voting to let it stay on the house calendar. This vote can only after an all day ice cream may be served up, looking back at the bill again this morning.
New Enrollment Rules for Coming Semester Approved by Faculty
Students May Choose Major Department at Beginning of Second Year
The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences met last night to discuss rules for enrollment. The governor and state legislature alterations were definitely made.
A motion was adopted to change Section 33 A of Methods and Procedure, so that it would read "Stuart should not give her department at the beginning of their sophomore year if they desire to do so. Such choice must be made not later than the beginning of the junior year." The motion is awaited for the year of the department conceived."
It was also decided to adopt a motion that for all changes in enrollment, involving either enrolment in a new course or a change of sections, made at the request of the student after the end of the semester, a fee of $2 be charged.
The administrative committee gave a report to change Reporting III from the School of Education to be approved, and also a recommendation in favor of a petition of the School of Education to grant professional training to the teachers course and dramatic art.
Maj. Joseph R. Cygon spoke briefly on the purpose of the R. O, T. C, Chancellor Lindley commented that the R. O, T. C, as a voluntary matter gets at K. U, is not enough to make him militaristic, but rather enough to discourage him from going to war because just how urble war can be made.
Talks on Pulverized Fue
Col. H. D. Savage, vice-president of the Combustion Engineering Corporation, New York City, spoke this morning at engineering seminar about the different types of pulverized fire furnaces.
Lecturer at Engineer Seminar Tells of New Furnace
No. 94
"The real development of furnaces and steam generating plants fired by pulverized coal has come within the last 10 years," Mr. Savyage said. "They are more efficient than the stroker type of furnace, having an efficiency between 80 and 90 per cent." The use of carbon dioxide as used in powdered fuel has been the formation of slag on the walls and bottom of the furnace. This was eliminated by the installation of water pipes on all sides of the furnace."
The lecture was illustrated by slide showing the construction and operation of the steam plants, and the firing of the furnaces, attached with the firing of the furnaces.
Colonel Savage is on his way to Topeka where he will deliver the dinner address before the Kansas Society tomorrow evening.
Men's Rooms Plentiful for Coming Semester

Dawson, this belief is not true; the exist at present, require that rooms be hold for a semester unless it is stated in advance to the contrary. To avoid any misunderstanding, it is necessary to establish an account as to rooms to be put in writing and signed by both parties.

Enrollment at Kansas Ranks University as Twenty-first in Size
California Has 17,101 Students;
And Is Largest; Nebraska
Has Valley Lead
Kansas ranks twenty-first in full time enrollment of all colleges and universities of the country, according to figures just compiled by Raymond Walters, dean of Swarthmore College, Judge Roberts, and college enrollments are growing faster than they did before the war.
Reports from ^1 188 institutions throughout the country show an increase of about 11 per cent over last year in the number of full time students and a gain of about 9 per cent in the number of extension courses are considered.
In regular enrollment the schools are listed as follows, with the University of California leading with 17,101 students. The others follow in order named: Chuahua University of Minnesota; University of Michigan; New York university; Ohio State; Pennsylvania Wisconsin; Harvard; University of Washington; Nebraska; Chicago; Carnegie; Iowa; Syracuse; Texas; Pittsburgh; Northwest; Boston; California; Southern California and Missouri.
The 10 largest women's colleges are: Hunter, with 3.148; Smith, Wesleyley; Florida State College for Women, Vassar; Mount Holt yoke; Radliffe; Randolph Macon Women's College; and Elmira.
"Live and learn" seems to be the slogan of college students. In fact, several of them admit that they have learned much in the last three weeks while they are waiting for new suits that they ordered from a most relatable traveling saleman. These suits were fully made for them, and only a girl able to hold their press for months at a time, and not to fall off a hanger.
Reliable Suit Salesman Resides on Vacant Lot
They could be purchased for the nominal sum of $23.50, five dollars down, and balance on delivery.
After the $5 were paid, this would leave only a balance of $5.00 to pay the postman on delivery in the course of the day, which could refuse such an attractive offer.
After much bickering, bargaining and swearing, the salesman would consent to buy the old suit for $15. This was the usual price and he would buy almost any kind of suit at that price.
He gave his name as A. T. Williamson and said he lived in Kansas City, WY, anybody that lived in Kansas City ought to be reliable enough. No one thought even for a minute, that he would be able to hold when he was looked up, it was found that he lived on a vacant lot. His victims bet that A. T. Williamson just laughed and laughed because he knew he could fool smart college students. He is probably in some sort of town, now selling skiff hose to the ladies.

Names Are Sometimes Played With Chicago and Other Universities
"Baseball is the favorite sport in Japan," Miss Kawai said. "Games are played at the University of Chicago, University of Washington and other schools of your more western states. Boating is also a favorite form of sport among Japanese students."
"American students seem to go to college more for fun than for cultural training as we do our Japanese students," said Miss Melii Kawai, national executive of Y. W. C. A., in Japan, in an email from a Kaiser reporter the morning.
"Co-education, after the primary grades, is not practiced in Japan on so large a scale as in America," continued Mita Kawat. "Women do attend the higher educational institutions, but they do not enjoy equal advantages with the men, and they do not receive diplomas or degrees for their work."
"Not many students work their way through college in Japan because of economic conditions. The population is so great that there is not work enough and student have a hard time getting the most work to take them through school.
"I have never known of anyone in Japan who could not read and write," Miss. Kawai stated, "We have an especially strong national education态度 at school is obligatory for children between the ages of 6 and 14."

Stadium Contract Let to Carrothers and Forsythe Co.
Contractors From Missouri Submit Winning Bid to Complete Horse-Shoe
Rulletin
The Carrothers and Forsey Company of Kansas City, Mo. was awarded the contract for the completion of the stadium at $148,000, it was announced from the office of the Chancellor late
This company is the one that built the first unit of the Missouri University Memorial stadium and held the contract for construction of it before the project was dropped for lack of funds.
Three of the ten bids submitted am
opened this morning at a meeting at
10:30 in the office of the Chamberlain
office, which will take place this af-
ternoon for final decision.
The Carrothers and Forsythe Construction Company of Kansas City, Mo., the Bickel Construction Company, Lincoln, Nebr., and P, D. Oinstead of Lawrence were the bidders still under consideration.
According to L. H. Dodd, engineer, of Kansas City, Mo., the contract calls for the completion of the stadium by Sept. 1, 1927, providing a completed stadium before the start of the 1927 "outdoor season."
The new unit of the stadium will match the first unit in regard to color. The first unit which was built by the Unit Construction Company of St. Louis, Mo., is lighter in color than the second unit, constructed by George Koehler according to Mr. Doodd, an attempt might be made to make the color of the second unit conform to the color of the other two.
An estimate was given by Mr. Dodd of the approximate amount of materials needed for construction. Four hundred thousand feet ofumber for forms and bracing; 7,500 barrels of cement; 5,000 yards of crushed rock; 10,000 square feet of inforning steel bar; and about fifty tons of steel for various reinforcing. Work will probably commence in about three weeks. It will be impossible to do any concrete work above the ground until the cold season is over but the foundations for the concrete supporting columns can be started immediately. The Carrothers and Forgetthe Construction Company, the foundations will have to be asked to about a depth of fourteen feet.
"It is hard to tell just how far the foundations will have to go," said Mr. Carrothers, "as it depends on the formation of the ground. Some will necessarily have to go farther than others to find a tree foundation. It takes them years to find the ones and believe that they have gone further than necessary. Some trouble will arise from underground water flow and that must be accounted for." The unit of the stadium under contract will complete the stadium as a letter "U". the curve to be at the end of the circle forms a perfect semi-circle at that end and will conform to the other units in type of architecture.
The companies submitting bids besides the three under consideration are: Eberhardt and Shriver Construction Company, Sailor; George Senne, Topeka; Messenger and Dullson Pittsburg; J. M. Lieper, Toperak Patti Considine Construction Company, Swenson Construction Company, Kansas City, Mo., and Underhill Construction Company, Wichita.
