Dean of Education Announces Faculty For Summer Term
Three New Instructors in School of Education; Large Enrollment Expected
A number of changes have been made in the faculty for the summer session, according to an announcement released Monday. The new list of faculty members includes two members of the regular faculty of the University, one from Washburn College of Topena, one from Rowan University and a student of Columbia University.
Students who are now attending the University may begin enrolling on May 21, and must all be enrolled before the time for the new summer session students to register or enrol. A small fee will be charged those students who do not enroll at the proper time.
The first semester of the summer School will open this year on June 11, and will close on July 4. The four weeks session will start on Monday, July 22, closing August 17.
Among the new members for this year summer session will be, Mr. Eric B. Daves, of the faculty of Washburn University, one in Shakespeare, and one in Modern American Literature. Paul A. Witty, a graduate student from Columbia University, will take classes at Stanford University, School of Education. Fred Ayre, director of the Bureau of Educational Research of the Seattle public schools, will offer courses in school surveys and measurements and experimentation.
Large Enrollment Expected
The two members of the present teaching staff will be Solomon Lefschez's place, who will take Prof. E. B. Stouffer's place in the department of mathematics, and G. F. Solderlund of the School of Fine Arts, who will take Miss Anna Sweny's place in the faculty of that school.
"There is every reason to believe that the summer session will increase this year, since it has every year except during the war," said Dean Kent. "Just how many will come we can not estimate. Pressure is being brought to bear on teachers to cause them to lose interest in economic courses. The majority of the students come from Kansas and Missouri."
Seniors Must Order Robes
Measurements for Cap and Gowr Should be Made Now
"The seniors have been coming in fairly well for their measurements, but they should come in faster in order to avoid a rush at the last minute. said Joe Parrish, chairman of the Cap and Gown committee yesterday.
"Even if there is doubt of being graduated, all seniors should come and have their cap and gown measurements taken as they can participate in all of the commencement ceremonies except marching across the platform to get the diploma." Parrott continued, "I advise the seniors to do this in order that they may enter this spring, for it might be inconvenient to return for the commencement after the unfinished work is completed.

Green Bug Menace Becomes Alarming In Harper County
Plant Louse is an Economic Problem of Farmer, Says Prof. Hunter
Prof. S. J. Harper, of the department of entomology and state entomologist, has received word from Harper County that the green bug menace there has been alarming Raymond Beamer, assistant curator
as possible to look into the situation. The green bug is a plant louse which feeds upon wheat and oats and is becoming an economic problem to the farmer. The green bug is a form of parasite that has visited via Texas and Oklahoma. In 1907 it made it first appearance in Kansas. And in the same year a large number of parasites to feed upon the green bug were distributed among Kansas fields by the University. But so far no parasites of the green bug have been found which makes the exterminating the pest a serious one.
Saw飞鳄, which feed upon elm and pear trees and the red saw fly, feeding upon currant and gooseberry bushes are unusually abundant, according to Gilbert Garlick, fellow in entomology from England. Unless some method can be found where insects of fruit will be lassened as well as shade trees being damaged considerably.
The adult saw flies, which eat the heart out of buds, are doing the injury to the trees and bushes. This is unusual for it is the little saw nymph that lives in the back of the body, that generally causes the harm. They resemble wasps in the texture and structure of the wings and form. Instead of the winged larvae, the saw fly is equipped with a miniature saw and with it they pierce the plant tissue and lay their eggs. Comparatively little has been found out about the life history of the saw fly and how little it can be done to combat the fly.
New Scholarship to be Given to Kansas Graduates

Railroad Policy Will be Changed With Consolidation
Plans for New Consolidation Will be Only Temporary; May Sell Roads Back Again
Washington, April 17. The administration's new rail and policy will be changed upon consolidation of the roads into a few great systems.
This may require government purchase of the entire transportation system of the country at a cost of more than twenty billion dollars.
Consolidation Only Way Out President Harding believes consolidation offers the only way out of the nation's transportation problem aside from government ownership. To that he is inexorably opposed.
Such a purchase would, however, be only temporary and the roads when consolidated would promptly be sold back to their present owners.
Harding today discussed the railroad problem at length with Senator Cummings of Iowa, chairman of the senate interstate commerce committee.
Cummins and the President agreed the consolidation plan must be made the keynote of the administration policy and that will be the basis on which President Harding will present his plan to the country on his western trim.
Problem to be Speaking Features
Regarding as he does the railroad
problem as one of the foremost con-
fronting his administration, Mr. Hard
intends to devote considerable
of his speaking time on this trip to
It. There is a difference of opinion
between some businessmen who

Problem to be Speaking Feature
rated out. Cummins told Mr. Harding that a consolidation plan such as the interstate commerce commission is now working on could be applied through congressional legislation. Secretary Hoover asserted that such legislation could be implemented in the way the consolidation could be accomplished would be for the government to buy the roads, consolidate them and sell them back
Professor Moore Entertains
Talks on Ibsen's Work
Norwegian Dramatist a Genius Says Sturtevant
Prof. Fleming G. Moore, of the department of chemistry, entertained the members of the staff of the department with a "wedding tea," in recent marriage, yesterday afternoon at 13:38, in Dr. Dani's laboratory.
"The greatest thing about Isen is his originality and analysis," said Prof. A. M. M. Sturtevant, of the department of Germanic languages, in a talk before the dramatic art classes yesterday afternoon. "He had an almost dishabellent keen eye for detail." Professor Sturtevant "and was thoroughly acquainted with all his characters.
Phi Chi held initiation services Sunday for George Buxton, m²28, Lawrence; Mahon Delp, m²28, Norton; and M. Dean Ballard, m²28, Mankatte. At noon a banquet was served in Wiedemann's tea room.
"Ihman was a master because he knew what to use and what to discard. His limits are well defined, his intelligence is superb, but he lies the difference between him and a preacher. His purpose was to ennoble humanity and his viewpoint was always that of a moralizer and the future more than the present.
"Carlyle's definition of a genius has been personified in Ibsen, and probably there has never been a writer so original in his work." As at first glance, he is about one of his plays he said that his call was to ask questions and not to answer them. His works are a revelation of his own experiences which result in seeming contradictions at times, but that impression only shows another frailty of human beings described," said Professor Sturantvill.
Phi Chis Initiate Three
The following alumni were among the guests present for the occasion: Dr. R. E. Duncan, Dr. G. E. Owens, both of Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. L. I. Morgan, Arkansas City; and Dr. R. W. Emerson, Topeka.

'Food Shortage is Possible Outcome Of Farm Prices'
"Present Lack of Laborers is Warning of Serious Situation"—Says
Topeka, April 17—The present farm labor shortage is a warning of a serious situation now developing. Senator Arthur Carpier, congressional farm bloc leader, declared today.
Capper asserted that low agriculture prices may result in so many people leaving the farms that it will cause a food shortage. Referring to a prediction of Illinois employment experts that farmers might force congress to admit more immigrants to alleviate the farm labor shortage, Capper said the farm blues would be inclined to consider such a thing with "season."
Senator Capper
No Desire to Lift Restriction
By Senator Capper
"There is no desire among the members of the farm bloe to lift the immigration restriction so far as I know. I think that it will be inclined to consider this question with considerable caution. And I doubt if it would be advisable to labor on farms except during the abnormal rush of harvest. The use of improved farm machinery will tend to hold down the shortage even then. But there will doubtless be a demand at certain times in most markets."
"This is coming, as I said it would, because of the relentless pounding down of agricultural prices for the last three years. It is a perfectly logical outcome of a most unhappy economic situation. Farming has been unprofitable in the last three decades, and the producers and they are quitting the farm for the better opportunities of the city.
Young Folks Will Leave Farm "So long as a farm is penalized by our economic system for being a producer, just as long will the young folks on the farm be attracted by the hours and the short hours in the city.
"This labor shortage is merely a warning of what is to come. I hope the country can see it in time. If this era of low agricultural prices is continued with the sale of products below the cost of production, as has occurred in a vast number of cases, it may result in so many of the rural workers that the government cause a food shortage. This movement will be continued until the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar has been restored.

'Avoid False Schemes To Bring Prosperity', Says Governor Davis
Farmers Should Not Expect Too Much From Farm and Loan Credit Bill"
McPherson, April 17.-Governor Jonathan M. Davis, in a joint meetup before farm organizations here today told the farmers to beware of schemes to bring their property multiplifying of their credit facilities.
He told the farmers they should not expect too much from the farm loan or farm credit bill since it only makes possible the extension of their credit and, since they already have too much indebtedness to pay the loan, they need a further issuance of tax exempt bonds under the Fordney-McCumber bill.
"A careful study made by the farm bureau federation shows that this tariff will cost the farmers 301 million dollars, which will benefit them," the govern said.
Discussing the present day evil he said: "Whatever abuses of government or evils of industry, inequalities of commerce exist today can be overcome through special privileges granted or through special privileges left ungranted is allowed to infringe or encroach upon the privileges of the person affected by it this fundamental principle of American government."

Chancellor Strong appointed a Memoirist in 1919. The Stadium and Union were decided upon as two most fitting projects. The decision was unanimous that a million dollars must be raised, half to be used for the Stadium and half for the Hammargart, '00, was the chairman of the original Memorial committee.

Early in 1921 Lawrence brought the total up to $350,000 and moved it to $550,000. Active work continued, the summer with campaigns in Topeka and Hutchinson, making the total more than $600,000. The alumni office, had assumed direction of continuing the campaign, and community after community responded, contributing to swell the total.
