(United Press)
Washington, Jan. 18. After a two-week struggle between the administration and its opponents over the Nicaragua-Mexican policy, there was a lull today with the administration refusing to retreat and the opposition claiming it would resent further steps threatening war with Mexico.
The opposition, led by Senator Borah, concentrated on the idea of submitting oil land disputes to neutral arbitration. This proposal has made no headway with the administration, but persons close to President Coolidge, such as Charles Beecher Warrior, have said that major urgeadiation of actual oil claims by the present United States-Mexican general claims committee.
U. S. Not Contemplating War
U. S. N. Contemplation War
The state department, meanwhile is not contemplation war with Mexico under any circumstances, but in an extremity it will recall Ambassador Tillman to lift the armament as desired by Mexican counter-revolutionaries, according to informed persons. Many believe this would lead to the overthrow of the Calle government.
Coolidge Strikes at Opponents
This alleged threat by the administration is said to be well understood by the Mexican government. President Calles is described as discounting the possibility of United States military action on the border or naval action on Tampa, while warning that dangerous incidents involved to his regime in free transit of American arms to his Mexican enemies.
Close observers think the administration will take no action until the Mexican government Telexes any oil land under the disputed law, and that Callels has no present intention of giving Staten States such an excuse for action.
President Coddle today struck back at two groups of his opponents who criticized him both for inadequate leadership and for imperialism in Central America.

Many New Students Expected to Enroll for Next Semester

More than one hundred and fifty inquiries concerning the University have been received by George O. Foss, PhD, who has been asked to come to school the second semester. The average number of new students for the second semester is 150, and the correspondence would indicate that most students be up to normal Mr. Foster believes.

Smith Dispute at Crisis
Senate May Withhold Seat o Illinois Senator-Elect
(United Press)
Washington, Jan. 17—The controvery over the seating of Frank L. Smith, senior designate from Illinois to a head in the Wednesday
Tuesday, Smith, whose campaign contributions from traction interests have brought beaten enunciations, will walk through the swinging doors of the senate and present his credentials, according to the plan announced from Chicago. He is expected to arrive today.
As soon as the credentials are presented, Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic floor leader, will offer a resolution backed by most of his Democratic colleagues and many Republicans referring the credentials to the election committee without giving Smith the oath of office.
This will provoke debate. Some Republican senators and a few southern Democrats contend Smith should first be seated and ouster action taken after the discussion. As they do, the discussion will not be prolonged, since they are nervous over the possibility of an extra session; but senators have been burrowing into legal volumes for days and many will want to know what their application in the present case.

Faculty Members Meet to Discuss Organ in Fraser
Decision May Be Reached in Second Gathering to Help Remedy Situation
Instructors of classes in Fraser Hall held a meeting for general discussion yesterday regarding annoyance to classes caused by the organ in Fraser chapel. No definite decisions were made.
The first organ of Fraser chapel was installed in 1902 and for some time it was used only before and after class periods. Before this time the churches of Lawrence accommodate the organ students of the University. The growth of the School of Fine Arts made it necessary for the students to practice both in the church and in the amateur playing caused the churches of Lawrence to discontinue the use of their organs for practicing purposes.
To accommodate the organ students of the School of Fine Arts, it is practically impossible to discontinue their course of study in the important classes of the University are built in Fraser hall, however, and it is vitally important that something should be done for the benefit of the student. This means a discussion at the meeting yesterday. The present organ in Fraser chapel will be removed to the new auditorium next September, but it is planned for another to be installed in its place.
The problem of the present situation will again be discussed in another meeting soon, and faculty members have expressed hope that some decision can be reached for the good of both the classes in Fraser hall and the organ students in the School of Fine Arts.
Future Schools Planned
K. U. Bureau Assists Cities With Building Programs
School buildings involving a total investment of nearly $1,500,000 have been constructed in Kansas communities as a result of the surveys and recommendations made by the school service and research bureau, according to Prof. F. P. OERion of that bureau.
It is difficult to estimate the results of the various surveys made by this bureau, Professor Oblran said, since some of them involve a tea, twenty or thirty年 building program, or perhaps a long term plan for development. However, some of the communities which have already constructed buildings in compliance with the surveys made are Dodge City, Great Bend, Kanapolis, Ottawa and Lawrence. In Lawrence the high school survey indicates that there are a part of the thirty-year 'build' plan recommended by the bureau.
The far reaching results of the work are shown by the fact that superintendents from school systems over the state not only accept the source as essentially as presented, but also understand the staff of the school service and research bureau as well as other departments and schools, such as the School of Engineering, relative to the details of the building plans. The University is thus taking an important part in the construction of school buildings in the state, and is in a position to valiantly statistize the data.

At the conclusion of a brief speech the retiring governor introduces Moody to the crowd, admonishing them to "Hear ye him!"
High lights of the governor's last address were:
"His election as a 32-year-old gov-
ernor was about as novel as my elec-
tion. Time alone will prove whelse
that single acted windly in either it
stance.
"The people in their sovereign right have elected another governor—not only another man for governor, but they said they wanted a young man. Frankly, he was not my choice for governor."
"If in the passion of the prejudice of the hour, my mistakes are magnified and my achievements minimized, I shall find consolation in the fact that I was not the first governor who has had to suffer the same penalty as the price for political office of governor has its tasks and responsibilities in private life I do so with malice toward none and good will toward all. While my term has been shortened, my life has been lengthened.

A nominal charge, sufficient to cover the cost of compilation and publication is made for the pamphlet.
Last year more than eight thousand copies of this pamphlet were sold, 5500 copies having been used since August, 1926.
