the whole the carnival program off well, and I do not believe the events because tiresome to the spectators", said Dr. F. C. Allen this morning in speaking of the performances last night in Robinson Gymnasium. About $400 was cleared by the show for the new hotel.
Several dance acts were presented during the evening, and were well received by the spectators. The quartet from the Boys' Industrial School at Topeka made a big hit with song numbers and the audience was not satisfied until three encores had been given.
A fast three-round boxing match between Steve Merrill, c25, and John Montgomery, c24, ended in a draw after some fast mixing. Andrew Ockerblad, professor in the School of Engineering put on an interesting act with illuminated clubs. The shot put exhibition between Matthews of the University of Alabama was one other name happens to be Roscoe堡sfa, 15, ended in the old fake of the stuffed shot, but went neros with the spoise of a new act.
The wrestling match between Bobby Roscee and James Marks of Oklahoma was placed first on the list of events in order to allow Ed "Strangler" Lewis, referee, to return to Kansas City. Billy Sandow, manager of Lewis, introduced the heavyweight champion of the world, "as a former college man whose biggest regret was that he had not finished his college career." He wrestled title in Kansas City tonight against John Peskov of Nebraska. The match last night ended in a draw, after 20 minutes of fast work.
Industrial School Boys Please
Buriesquers Fill In Open Places
"Ham" Hamilton and his burlesques filled in all open places with laughing producing stunts, and the hotel choreographed for him a funny. Later in the evening "How of the Bonus," by the burlesque was a convincing argument for the justice of the compensation. Plukey took on the act with a clogging stunt.

An Indian ceremonial舞 by students from Haskell was interesting and had the real atmosphere intended. The industrial school boys received applause with the "Battle Royal," at the closing number of the program.

Northwestern University Abolishes Class Fights
Class flights and demonstrations were ordered forever prohibited at Northwestern University by the president, Walter Dill Scott, following the finding of the skeleton of Leighon Mount, a freshman, believed to have been killed during the hazing in 1921.
"It is essential to the preservation of law and order that both on the campus and in the community these practices be abolished," said Doctor Scott. "It has been traditional for sophomores to take it in their hands to make freshmen wear green caps. That practice is hereby abolished."
Robert Nathan Gives Sketches of Noted Poets and Novelists
Novelists of Today Write Well
and Knowingly of Adoles- ...
cent Lore
"American literature seems to have entered into a stage of ironic writing, and a spirit of restlessness and urgency. It is the present day writers," said Robert Nathan, of New York City, novelist and poet, in a talk, "Some Emerging Literary Figures Today," given Yves-Gilles Delaunay as students and faculty in Fraser chamber.
Mr. Nathan mentioned the names of some of the most outstanding poets and novelists of today and gave a short resume of each one's life and works. Among those mentioned were John Dos Paseo, named for his book, "The Beginning of Wisdom," poet and painter; John Farrow, Donald Stewart; and Stephen Binet. In connection with the latter, Mr. Nathan praised Binet's book, "The Beginning of Wisdom," and made the remark, "The present day writer may learn from these works that I say, but he writes knowingly and well of adolescent love."
Other leading novelists mentioned by Mr. Nathan were Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, Catherine Mansfield and Sinclair Lewis. Most or all of these writers reflect a spirit of irony in their writings, according to Mr Nathan, and many of them speak of life with a certain bitterness."
In explaining the reasons for this ironic tendency in American literature, Mr. Nathan said, "The writing of today might be likened to expressionism in music and painting. Characters and incidents are not painted that they really are in this type of writing. Only once in a long while an author has written that true nature. The result is fascinating to some and distressing to others, but the writer achieves a true individualism."

Germany Makes 'Maximum Offer' To Allies Today
Basic Sum of 30,000,000,000
Gold Marks Must Free
Ruhr—Refuse
Guarantee
Guarantee
Berlin, May 2—Germany made her first actual offer of a solution of the Ruhr difficulties in a note to be dispatched to the Allies today.
Under her proposal announced officially here, Germany will pay a basic sum of thirty billion gold marks as reparations due the Allies, according to France's Foreign Office. France accepts, Germany expects evacuation of the Ruhr valley.
The German note, a copy of which also will be dispaired to Washington, states that if this proves unacceptable, an international commission as suggested by Secretary Hughes several months ago, could be empowered to determine how much Gerhardt should have made the changes were made in the proposition which was drafted by Cuno and his cabinet last Saturday.
May Ask U. S. Aid
There is no absolute pledge that the railroads and other national facilities will be offered as pledge. This is one point on which French officials have heretofore been insistent. The preliminary draft containing his provision was struck out. There was also a proposal that Germany should condition that German guarantee France against aggression for ninety-nine years.
Hope for Parley
The note was framed after careful study and officials here regard it as the maximum offer. It was hoped that the conditions would induce France to negotiate over points which might not prove satisfactory here, so that the present strained Rihr situation could be cased.
The official text of the note said in part:
"The government has always maintained and through the present intermational discussion feels obliged to deal with the fact that which depends the reconstruction of devastated areas so earnestly by Germany, and separation of a sound economic life. Peace in Europe is an insurmountable solved through future understanding.
To Keep Up Resistance
"The occupation of the Ruhr basin is opposed to the above and therefore calls for a passive resistance by its population. The government shares the desire of all sober-minded peoples that the daily increasing tension be relaxed and the wanton destruction of economic values be halted.
The University hand will give its second concert of the year Wetness day evening in Fraser chapel. The concert will start at 8:15.
"The government therefore has decided to make another attempt in this direction, without abandoning its traditional position. The passive resistance, which will be continued until the areas occupied in excess of the stipulations of the Versailles treaty are evacuated, accorded with the right down in the Rhineland agreement."

Freshman Roll of Honor Not Out Until Next Fal
Many women were crushed, one probably fatally, as thousands of the later arrivals rushed the barriers and broke through police cordons, swarming over the playing field. With the stands filled to capacity of 127,000, two hours before game time, officials flocked to the stadium, and railway companies to divert additional thousands who came from all directions to Wemby park.
In many instances compliance with this suggestion resulted in minor riots among roasted crowds who found themselves carried in other

"Letters will be sent out to those people who qualify during the summer, but it will not be publicly nown until fall." This plan was introduced last year. Previously, it had been published late during the spring term.
Let's Finish the Job
Rate of Interest For Student Loan Has Been Raised
Board Handling Fund Makes
Change from 4 per cent;
Principal Totals
$8,406.40
The rate of interest charged on loans from the Student Loan Fund has been increased from 4 per cent a year to 6 per cent a year by a recent ruling of the board according to Coster, registrar of the University.
Since the founding of the fund by the class of 94, the contributions to the fund have reached a total of $88,406.40. This amount includes a $3000 Jimmy Green. Since the founding of the fund of the classes have given something toward its furtherance. These gifts were made in a more or less haphaz and fashion until 1915 when the plan of making them a part of registration increased and put into practice. Since then the fund has grown more rapidly.
Few Loans in First Semesters
Due to the smallness of the loan fund, only in exceptional cases will loans be made during the first semester, it being assumed that a student will not return without funds sufficient to carry him through at least one semester. Before granting a loan must be thoroughly convinced of a student's real need for assistance and it will be considered grounds for the refusal of the application if the student has not made an honest effort to obtain
In making the loans the committee will take into account the moral character of the applicant, his habits of temperance and industry and his assiduity and success in his studies. Applicants from upper classes will be given a preference and no loan will be given to students not matriculated at least one year and preference will be given to those who have not formed expensive habits.
Notes Paid at Maturity
The applicant must expect ten days to lape before the money is available to give the committee a chance to communicate with references and examine the applicant's records. Note must be paid at maturity and only in meritus cases, provided the borrower is still a student in the University will a new loan be granted.
Since expenses of administering are taken from other sources than the student only way the fund can be diminished is by the failure of the student to pay back the borrowed money.
Growth of City Manager Plan Is Big Feature
Yearbook is Out Todav
"A careful formulated scheme of city government through which the maximum amount of public service is provided to the citizen," is the standard for municipal government as defined by John G. Stutz, executive secretary of the City Manager's Association, in the fourth Sixth Yearbook, off the press today.
"The yearbook contains a complete directory of city manager cities, giving population, date plan was adopted, number of managers empowered by the mayor, number of cities he has served and his salary," says Eather Clarke Hill, in a review of the Yearbook written for the Associated Press, among other various discussions published include law enforcement, public recreation, modern city charters, city planning and zoning, tourist camps, and a new approach to enhance the city manager in the performance of his duties," says Mrs. Hill.
The book contains a brief but comprehensive digest of the workings of the city manager principle down to date, in the various articles contributed by the managers in the United States and Canada, and shows the rapid growth and spread of the idea that one man with proper training and experience in city administration can do a better job managing municipal affairs paying numbers and making differently prepared and adequately paid.

Expect Large Enrollment From State High Schools
"More than 1200 students will be graduated by the high schools in Kansas this year. At least ten percent of these students will enroll in the University next fall", predicted O. Foster, registrar, this morning.
"We receive many letters every day from students asking that we send them catalogs of the courses offered by the University. Most of the letters are from students who wish to attend the summer session if they can get the courses that they want," he said.
Officials Know From Experience That the Pendulum May Swing Back
Government Will Put Brakes on Property By Raising Bank Rate
Washington, May 2—The government is going to put the brakes on prosperity to avoid being wrecked on the ground and spreading it out to spread out the business boom on the 1924 campaign. They have taken counsel to prevent things from moving too fast because they know from experience that it would go around, following a boom period.
An increase in Federal Reserve Bank discount rates would be one way of slowing up the inflation period. This was the means employed to bring about deflation after the war boom. The new chairman of the board, D. R. Crissinger, has been appointed chairman of interest of curbing the rush of business. The rate is now $4 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent, with few exceptions.
The situation today affords the reserve board whatever excuse it might need in increasing the rate. Up to within a short time ago, the members out of their own resources tried to take care of the demand for engi- which has been increasing amusingly since the business revival set in.
Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, an economic expert, favors this course. Fisher believes that the re-discount rate of the Federal Reserve banks should be put above the regular "market rate" and kept there.

The committee submitted two schedules, the longer one of which was adopted. It provided the four hours' time 8:50 to 11:30 or 1:30 to 4:50 for five and four hour courses, and two hours' time, beginning at 8:30 or 1:30, for the three hour classes and beginning at 10:30 or 3:30 for the one and two hour classes.

Many Apply for Bonus
Two Hundred Fifty Students to Receive Money
Eight typewriters were kept busy at the Legion rooms yesterday from out application blanks for ex-session who are applying for the bonus. The money will be sent to the men who will receive blank blanks satisfactorily, about June 6.
There are approximately 250 students of the University who will receive money from the state and the national support of the dean of men. In 1919 statistics showed that there were 3000 students and former students of the University of Kansas in the service. Another 126 were killed during the war.
The matter of residence has been found to be the paramount question in filling out the blanks. Many of the men went to Kansas City to enlist in the army; others who were too young to join the army gave their address as Kansas City although many of them had never been outside of the borders of the state before, those who should receive the bonus are obliged to take their troubles to court for settlement and others have sent their application blanks to their home towns for verification.
Aubrey Devine, all-American quarterback and former captain of Iowa's 1921 western champion team, is being talked of by Badger fans as a likely possibility for the position of head football coach at the University.
