NUMBER 115
Group of Gotham Scholars is Holding Referendum on "America and Ruby"
Ruhr"
Foreign students will visit the University from March 22 to 25 on behalf of the National Student Forum which, in co-operation with a group of students in New York is holding a student referendum on "America and the Ruhr." The delegation will consist of Joachim Friedrich, a student of Hedelberg and a member of the National Denaissance in Czech-Slovakia; and William A. Robson of the London School of Economics, accompanied by George D. Pratt, Jr., foreign secretary of the National Student Forum.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, HURSDAY, MARCH 15. 1923
Last year while traveling in Europe, Mr. Pratt attended an interesting international student conference at Tturno, Czecho-Slovakia. He was impressed by the fact that these students seemed to have fully realized the value of the contribution they could make to the life of their country and were discussing only how the contribution could be made. Yes.
Believing that American students would enjoy meeting some of these men and would get many interesting ideas from talking with them, the National Student Forum invited six of them to our American colleges. Last summer John Rothschild, executive secretary of the Forum, and Mr. Pratt visited ten European countries in order to select these students. The owing men ranging in age from 21 to 64 from Germany to many Holland, Denmark, Czechoslovakia and England, in which countries young people are taking the most active part in reconstructing the national life.
The students were chosen in every case because they know all the groups of young people in their community, and each they are not推派民主 for any particular group or dogma. Only two of them are members of political parties, Jorgen Rebek, who is a Danish Socialist, and William Robson, a British republican, both party. Their two objects are: To tell us of the youth movements in their own countries, and to find a basis on which the youth of their country can co-operate with the youth to develop a spiritual renunciation.
first Student Conference
A student conference was held under auspices of the National Student Forum at Hartalde, N.Y., from December 6 to December 15. The nomic basis of our education, Thirty-three colleges were represented; altogether there were about sixty delegates chosen from the local forums, the student governments, and college publications. The six foreign students were the principal guests at the conference.
The students at the Conference agreed that everyone who contributed to support education was in turn benefited by it, but that the workers did not seem to be getting a fair share of their effort. Therefore they therefore felt themselves in debt to the worker and insisted that they must pay back what they had received either by going into workers' education or into some basic activity such as cooking or building a fuller and richer life. The National Student Forum hopes that this referendum will only be the beginning of an exchange of students and an interchange of perspectives on an understanding between nations and vital international friendships.

Work of Thomas Hardy Analyzed in Lecture Given by Lulu Gardner
Talk is Continuation of Series Sponsored by Department of English
"Hardy's ruthless inevitability is not that of Maunaupsaant, which depends upon some accident, but the tragic end of his stories and novels can be traced back to some defect of character," said Miss Gardner yesterday. She wrote in Fraser hall, in her lecture "Down a Wessex Lane with Thomas Hardy."
She gave Hardy's own classification of his novels: first in importance being those which deal with character and environment; next the romances and fantasies; then the novels of, ingenuity; and last, the mixed novels. She followed Thomas Hardy down the first lane, which she called the most delightful. The title was from his favorite trick of beering friends on a wood and lending his readers into his story by easy stages.
"There is not a really intriguing woman in all Hardy," Miss Gardner said; "they are merely captivated and impulsive. Almost all of the noblest characters in Hardy's works are the humbble. His characters are not universal and universal; the universal is portrayed in one humble individual."
"Hardy first yielded to the urge to write when a young man in London, but no editor had the urge to work. His first novel, *The Powerless Man*, which he received, to which may be attributed much of his success, for he resolved to show the English public that on a limited stage of rural Essex could succeed."
At the close of the lecture aliss Gardner distributed small copies of Hardy's "Three Strangers."

Make Reparations Offer
England Responds to Germany's Plan for Payment
Berlin, March 15.—Great Britain has responded to Germany's recent secret peace feelers. The British government suggested that Germany make a new and clearer reparations offer to the Entente or that such an offer be made to the Entente and to the United States.
Germany's willingness to resume reparations payment was learned when it was confirmed by Chancellor Cuno, that Germany has had secret feelers in circulation and a third power and Great Britain has not been entirely unresponsive to these. The Bonar Law government it is understood is not opposed to such a proposal, but has suggested that Germany clash with details before making her proposal officially and publicly to the Allies.
The new repatriation proposal tentatively suggested to Great Britain was that Germany should pay a sum fixed by an international committee, the total not to exceed 300,000,000. The amount to Germany to be guaranteed by the export trade was to provide the funds so this payment could be made.
