NUMBER 148
Provides That Funds be on Deposit at Business Office and Audit
by Clerk
A plan for handling the funds and accounts of University organizations submitted by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs was approved by the Men's Student Council at the regular meeting last night.
The chief provision of the plan is that organizations be able to keep their funds on deposit at the Business Office and secure an audit of their accounts by the chief clerk of the University.

Should this plan be approved by the W. S. G. A. and by Chancellor Lindley, organizations availing themselves of the privilege of keeping their funds there, would be subject to additional comments listed in the recommendation.

Deposits of all funds must be made within a specified time. Records must be kept on a specified form and submitted to the chief clerk at his request, or when so directed by the budget organization or the budget committee.
Any officer or agent of any organization who fails to submit reports or make deposits promptly will be reported to the W. S. G. A. or the Men's Student Council. If proper cooperation is not then secured, it will be recommended to the dean of the school in which the student shall be refused admission to classes until the adjustment is made.
The Joint Committee of which J. J. Wheeler, assistant professor of mathematics, is chairman, believes that the plan will make available for the two student governing bodies better records and more prompt information in all financial matters placed under their supervision.
The new officers and members of the Council assumed their duties last week, but members of the council members was held. Keys, similar to those given to last year's Council members will be presented to the retiring members, according to the declaration.

This was undertaken by the organization at the request of the United States government, and published by the organization on this question has made a deep impression on the public mind, and has been translated into various languages.
"The twelve-hour Continuous Shift in Industry" was the second study, people have discussed this for a long time and engineers have made a comprehensive study of the results of hanging from twelve to the eighteen o'clock shift.

Speaks on Home Coloring
Hue Should Be Considered In Home Decoration
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, assistant professor in the department of Home Economics, talked from W. D. A. F. in Kansas City last night, on the subject, "Putting Color in the Home."
"When planning the color scheme for a room," said Miss Meguar, "there are certain qualities that must be matched. The first of these qualities, cured hues, distinguishes one color from all others and it is the name of the color itself. Hues may be divided into two categories: including all red and orange color tones, and the cool retiring ones, including all blues and greens. In general, hues giving a feeling of warmth and a pleasantness pleasing and agreeable to live with."
"The second quality is value, which denotes the amount of light or dark, white or black in color. Colors of very light value are called tints, and we may have colors of very dark value which are called shades. A white value is half the value between white and black is called middle value.
The third quality," she said, "is that of intensity or chroma, the strength of color or degree of saturation. In interior design, the intense the color should be, and conversely, the smaller the area the more intense the color may be. Let one color among them be dominant. Choice of the hue will be determined by light room; the nature and amount of light; personal preference; and the amount of money to spend. After deciding the dominate hue, the other colors must be selected from those which form a pleasing combination."

Robert Nathan, Poet,
Reads his Collection
Of Original Poems
Sees Bright Literary Future for Midwest; Was Guest of Literary Clubs
"He Compareth Himself with the Birds," "He Consideres the Arrogance of Wealth," and "The Poet is Left to Himself," were some of the poems he wrote. He was a novelist, from his collection, "Youth Grows Old," last night in Fraser Hall. Mr. Nathan also read some of his unpublished poems including the "Ocean Sonnets." The meeting was held in Radhamanth and Quail Club.
"In the East we look to the West for the great work of tomorrow," said Mr. Nathan in answer to one of our classmates who told me few years ago the East heard little of the mid-western university, but in the last few years the East has realized that some very interesting schools are located of the West in the next few years.
The difficulty that young writers face, according to Mr. Nathan, is that if they do newspaper writing, their work loses finish and serious purpose. If they write fiction for the popular magazine, they have to write to please the public. Mr. Nathan advised a writer who could not do this not to write for a living at all, but to turn to some other occupation.
A dinner at Te Ya Twerain, at which Nathan. Mawan was guest of honor, preceded the lecture. Members of Radhamanti and Quill Club attended.
Booze Question in Politics To Stay; Say Leaders
Democratic 'Wets' Gather
Washington, May 4—"Wet" forces will demand either a place on the democratic national stage or a plank on the Democratic national platform. They want both; they would be content with either, though they would prefer the platform to be wet than dry.
A number of prospective vice-presidential candidates are being groomed. Governor Silizer of New Jersey and Senator Roy Copeland of New York are the most likely candidates, but although both parties are desperately fighting shy of boose as an issue, the most satute politicians here declare, it is here and will remain one of the paramount Democratic leaders in the fight to win it. It is a question most talked about today by the American people. It has both domestic and international ramifications. It will be the subject in later elections in the next Congress and is politics to stay for to come, party chiefs saily admit. They wish it were otherwise. The wets feel new strength and declare public sentiment is swinging their way.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the department of ontology has been made chairman of the educational committee of the Congregational church conference which will be held May 8-11 at Manhattan. This committee has to do with religious education programs at Fairmount, Fairmount, and the state institutions of Kansas will be sent to the conference.
Bishop Anderson will preach at the First Methodist church at Tenth and Vermont streets, at 11:00 a.m. m., May 6. At 8:00 p.m. he will deliver a gospel lecture entitled "Serving the Present Age."

Last year the May Fete was dedicated to the Stadium field as the women's dedication. The dances will be performed by Tau Sigma and the other dances by the freshmen and sophomores in the gymnasium classes. The women have been working on the dances for three weeks and will have two more weeks of practice before the final dance to learn just where they are to take their places and one to go through their parts with the hand.
Band Will Furnish Music
**GRISH MUSIC**
J. C. McCanley, instructor of the band, is giving the instrument work on the music to accompany the dances, adjusting the music to suit the different dances. The whole band will furnish the music.
The feature of the May Fete will be a complete day in an old-fashioned garden, starting from break of day, which is typified by a solo dance, the sunbeams, represented by calling forth the sunbeams, to awaken all the garden life such as the flowers and butterflies, Butterflies and faeries from the heart of a rose, and frogs, all burst forth in the morning. The old-fashioned garden sheds its light for the day, and as she goes to each flower garden she puts life into all the flowers, and roses and holly-hooks burst forth into bloom. The old-fashioned lover comes forth to the garden in a minute group dance. They look as awoken the rest of the flowers, the carriage and sweet peas.
Introducing May Day Gallop
Toward dawn the fireflies help close the flowers for the night. In the moonlight the fairy queen comes forth with a solo dance to start the fairy circle on the green. Her fairy folly blossoms when her with a garland of flowers and garland dance around her. As morning breaks the fairies hold their pose and all the flowers and animal life break forth in a jubilee group dance, the May Group. Every group of dancers work own cycle to make a grand ensemble.
The Young Women's Christian Association will have the concessions and will sell a picnic supper on the field after the May Fete. Frances Wilson, c24, will have charge of the concessions for the Y. W. C. A.
