"Some of the worst bandits in Mexico are former United States citizens," said Mrs. Alice Bowly-Nielsen, A.A.B. 178, when interviewed concerning her knowledge of conditions in Mexico during her late residence. She and her friends in Lawrence while awaiting the arrival of her husband, Harry (Swede) Nielsen, A.A.B. 178 from Villahermosa, Tobasco, Mexico, where they have been living for the past three years and at which place Mr. Swede was engaged in green field work for the International Petroleum Company.
"Revolution is well organized all over Mexico, though press reports have been repressed," she continued. "Engagements are taking place when Mexico City papers report that all is peaceful."
Estates Unproductive
The present government under Oberregon is not successful. The reason is doubeless because he has allowed Bohlevian to fall away while pretend to lift it. He confiscates more improved estates while hundreds of land owners whose property has been taken away during the last eleven years are seeking vainly for the promised compensation. Confiscated estates are allowed to go to rack, producing nothing for the needy grain markets which then becomes barring the confiscated property are either incapable of producing food or do not care to do so".
American Firms Taxed "The situation of Americans is critical. The government is taxing American firms who are developing properties in the Carranza constitution, fifty per cent of their production. Now the government requires all foreign firms to employ ninety per cent of Mexican help in each department. This will require Mexico to must modify its demands before Mexico will be much of an El Dorado for foreign development."
Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen have had some very interesting trips through Mexico. They visited Mexico City three times though the railroads between Venezuela Cruz and Mexico City are in terrible condition. They were held up one day and night because bandas had burned out a bridge. At one station on the way they could buy nothing but flowers. Gorgeous baskets of gardenias were sold as cheap as ten cents apiece.
Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen were both prominent students on the hill. Mrs. Nielsen was a member of Theta Sigma Phi, the Kansan Board, and the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, fourth team for the season of 1917 and was a member of Pi Delta Theta fraternity.
MEXICO U. IS EXPANDING
American Students Cause Increase in Enrollment
Mexico City, Mex. (By mail to United Press.)—Although the summer course of the National University of Mexico for this year only closed recently, plans are already being made for a still larger school next sum-
The session this year was a great success and the number of students was increased from 45 the previous year to 500 this year. Students from the United States made up the greater part of the enrollment.
"The future of the summer school in Mexico is certainly a challenging one." Dean R. S. MacElwee of the University School said to the
Among those who attended the course this year were 40 ex-service veterans and students of the School of Foreign Services, Gurgstadt Uni-
"With the cool climate, the many places and objects of historical, artistic and romantic interest, the learning of the Spanish language and the scientific lore offered by the erudite faculty of the university, is offered a combination of advantages for summer study and recreation that cannot be equaled anywhere.

Black Mask Ticket

SENIOR
Qualifications of senior class officers are not dependent upon their ability as politicians. Black Mask in the selection of candidates feels that these positions are of honor and trust to be bestowed upon those seniors who have already demonstrated their ability. For that reason Black Mast has gone outside of its society in choosing every candidate offered on this ticket.
Joe Bloomer ... President
Marion Collins ... Vice President
Marian McDonald ... Secretary
Milton Cummings ... Treasurer
JUNIOR
Leading the junior Black Mask ticket is "Davy Davidson," a man who has done and is still doing things for Kansas, and who has never asked for a verdict of approval from the student body. "Davy" is a non-fraternity man, who is not making an active campaign, merely submitting his name on the proposition that "It's the Candidate that Counts."
Last year, Black Mask prom managers reduced the price of the party from $5 to $4.25, put on the premier party of the year, and met all liabilities. If you wish a duplication of this vote for Lucas and Stagg, Black Mask candidates for prom managers.
"Davy" Davidson ... President
"Red" Lutz ... Vice President
Clarence Frieze ... Treasurer
Frances Keith ... Secretary
Prom Managers, Clyde Lucas, Ralph Stagg
SOPHOMORE
The job of steering the Sophomore class requires unlimited energy, if you believe Emerson Norton has this qualification, then you owe it to yourself to vote for him.
The Soph Hop involves as much executive ability as the Junior Prom. Earl Alvine, is a man who has this ability and experience, and will make the Soph Hop a distinctive party.
The other candidates have pledged their support to carry through the plans of these men for making the class of 1925 a bigger and better organization.
Emerson Norton ... President
Walter Means ... Vice President
Mary Lois Ruppenthal ... Secretary
Ralph Hower ... Treasurer
Soph Hop Manager. Earl Alvine
FRESHMAN
Black Mask candidates for the Freshman class offices were chosen at a meeting of over one hundred representative freshmen. This meeting was not dominated by any fraternity or small group as is evidenced by the names below.
The freshman Olympic manager is not elected, but Wilder Dresser, Black Mask candidate for president, if elected has promised to appoint Marvin Barnes to fill this office. Barnes is a nonfraternity man, enrolled in the engineering school and is adequately qualified to lead the class of 1926.
Wilder Dresser ... President
Bill Harrison ... Vice President
Eulalia Richardson ... Secretary
Ronald Hall ... Treasurer
Its the Candidate that Counts
