Premier Pictures Germany as Hypocrite, Secretly Plotting New War of Revenge
Paris, Oct. 29 (U. P.)—'France will never consent to discuss again the total reparations fixed in May by the government declared it a speech yesterday.
"And we will never reduce the amount fixed by the reparation commission."
in his speech the premier declared that France would remain in the Raur until the total amount of reparations by Germany was paid.
Pictures Germany as Hypocrite
He pictured Germany as a hypocrite, seeking to dodge her debts, while illegally and secretly forming a huge army, air fleet, and ammunitions factories for a war of imperialistic revenge.
As was pointed out previously, France's acceptance was accompanied by a reservation which would limit the scope of the proposed international inquiry to a frank investigation of how to make Germany pay.
London, Oct. 29—British political circles were discussed fresh plans today to meet the "unencouraging" attitude of France toward the proposed advisory conference by experts on reparations problems.
Expect Cabinet to talk

Herr Schultze, former chief of the Saxon chancellery, has been appointed Reich commissioner to Saxony and helped push his dispatch from Berlin said today.

Spring Fever, Spring Plowing and Call of the Clods Cause Early K. U. Students to Leave
"Wegen began promptly and ran on smoothly until near the end of the year," says Mr. D. H. Robinson, in speaking of the first year in the life of the University, "when a strange, fuzzy student began to developidents began. They gradually disappeared, one after another, without sign or warning, until by the middle of April more than half of our entire number was gone. Professor Snow and I began to begin the work. We found that, spring work having opened, most of our brawny students had gone home to assist on the farms, and that several in the city, suffering with the unusual strain of headwork, were down with it. The students were down with the most unpleasant cases.
It was evident that something must be done or the University would be disgraced. A consultation was held, the result of which was that, by much visiting and earned missionary work among our patrons, and strong personal appeals to our donors, it became clear of disgrace of abandonment, and closed our first year triumphantly with twenty-two pundils."

Naismith Says Cutting Gym Classes Is Serious
The seriousness of not attending classes in gymnasium is not fully realized, according to Dr. J. W. Nailmith. "Cuts" are piling up on many students who have gotten into the habit of continually missing class. They must be made up, Dr. Nailmith says, and many sophomores who cut class when they freshmen are now making up absences so they will receive credit.
Many in the R. O. T. C. apparently do not realize that they must take one hour of physical training each week. They are missing these classes and thereby causing much trouble for themselves.
Lawrence Rotarians Hosts
Lawrence HORTON
Lawrence Rotary Club were hosts
Lawrence Rotary to all out-of-town
members of Rotary at the University
Commons. No special speaker
was arranged for because the visit-
ing "dade" and editors were anxious
to adjourn to P.A. Dinenno, pres-
ident of the Lawry Rotary Club.
"Discipline, during our high school days," be continued, "was maintained with a vigorous hand. For instance, having been nearly disgraced the first year by the burden with which he must point that for the future by placing in our catalog the following severe exactment: "Students must be prompt in attendance at the opening of the term and continue to the closing of the term unless absent themselves from town without permission from the President."
Again, see how the following puts to shame any of our modern legislation on the subject: 'Students must present satisfactory excuses for every absence from any class or duty before they will be permitted some time in college; students having ten unexceeded absences caused to be a member of the University.' Just what peculiar construction we placed upon these rules, that both should seem necessary in the catalog, I do not now remember. For if a student was out of school and had been allowed to see how ten absences could do more. Or would they put him out ten times as far?
Claring green checks and flaming red checkets! Across the campus some bright spots of color, fairly shrieking in their brilliance as they indent the masculine shoulders of our busky bill students.
Live Checker-boards Overrun K. U. Campus
Checked shirt! Yes, you guessed it. First it was the bright hues of the yellow slender which found favor in the room. Its sex-now it is a checked shirt.
They may be small checks, large checks, red checks, blue checks, vests checks, or hat checks—but they are checked—and they are wearing them.
Some are wool and some are guaranteed to be wool; some are worn and some are warm; while others identify the Quaker tones.
Now when the men find a long, dull evening before them, with no studies or exams for the next day, and they discover they have seen every show in town; they can get out that shirt and tie, and play a jolly game of checkers with the rest of the fellows. What will the men think of *n.*? Why not checked socks? They should be brought in shoes to match the shirt, or if an original idea is proposed, red, yellow and blue will class the wearer as a true condeessour of primary colors.
Engineers Have New Hats
Each Department Will Wear Different Bands
Following a custom established two years ago, the senior engineers appeared on the campus Monday morning in their distinctive engineered hats.
According to Bob Sharpe, president of the senior engineers, an attempt will be made to make the new equipment suitable for all of the men, and are the regulation engineer hats. Monday morning all of the hats ordered had been taken and a re-order had to be issued by about eighty-five senior engineers.
Sociology Club to Meet
The hats are low crowned, of medium width brim, and are of a light tan color. The hats of last year were high crowned "bowl hat" women of the engineers. Different departments of the engineers are designated by the different hat bands. The civils wear a plain strap and the architects wear a wampum band head. Other department have not selected their bands

Chancellor's Fury Falls on Cabinet of Saxon Rebels
tresemann Orders Saxon Cabinet Deposed for Refusal to Comply With Orders
Berlin, Oct. 29, (U.P.)—The federal fist landed on recalcitrant Saxony today.
The chancellery in Dresden formed the United Press by telegraph that the cabinet would converse with its leaders about government's order of dissolution.
Chancellor Stresemann ordered the Saxon cabinet deposed for alleges insubordination and refusal to comply with his orders to construct a new cabinet purged of communist representatives.
The Reich's commissioner Heinz former minister of justice, was finally appointed commission for Saxon today, after President Ebert change from his original intention of appointing Herr Schultz.
Reinz Chosen Commissioner
Hein, as soon as his appointment was made known officially, sent word to the Zeigner cabinet that it was deposed, and instructed General Oleander to prohibit any sessions of the Diet until a new cabinet has been formed.
An unofficial dispatch, based on high authority, today had announced that Schultz, former chief of the Sixon chancellery, had been an official at the Treasury. Ebert made no explanations concerning his change of plans.
Appointment a Surprise
The appointment of Heinz as commissioner for Saxony came as a great surprise. Herb Schultz had been very favorably considered for some time.
Women Choose Activities
House Presidents Co-operate With Dean Husband
Twenty-three house presidents, representing as many houses, are busy having the girls in the houses which they represent fill out the "clearing house" cards by means of which activities are going to be disrupted. The house presidents will willing to do activity work and have special ability in certain lines.
In filling out these cards, the girls state what activity work they have previously done, and what they would like to do on the hill. At the next meeting with the teachers the cards will be brought in and preparations for a permanent file will be made, according to Dorothy McVior, house president of the O'Connor rooming house. Each house president has assumed responsibility for comfort of the girls in her house, and is co-operating with Agnes Husband, dean of women, in enforcing room house regulations which will make living conditions pleasant for every woman student in the University rooming houses which have not yet organized, and consequently have no representative at the House President's Council. These houses still have a chance to organize, and may eventually be furnished by Bryant in room 118 Fraser hall.

Feters to ship back to Pennsylvania. The Kansas rabbits worried themselves into nervous wrenches when they heard about going east in nox-cars, but now they're glad enough to take the trip if they get there alive, and they can help. They are carrying rabbits feet; the left hind foot, to be exact, for good luck.
The whole trouble started when n a certain freshman laid her pledge pin n a few days ago, and recovered it by the use of a rabbit's foot. Now the whole house has seized on the oce, and is clamoring for the left rear palel extremities of the species rabbits. Other students have heard that the rabbit would effect the charm might have on the grades of the coming mid-semester exams.
Why the fad is beginning to take hold for the first time, is unexplained according to the house man in the news. "Why hey," that snout nothit' new, I could ask, 'tell em about rabbits feet long time ago,' and he reached quickly to his hip pocket to see whether he had lost beown.
