ON BIRTH ANNIVERSARY
Harding Says Nations Need More of the Spirit of "Hero of 60's"
MANY PEOPLE PAY HOMAGE
Trend of Address Was That European Nations Still Hold Hatred
Point Pleasant, Ohio, April 27—The nations of the world in their effort to recover from the disastrous effects of the world war, need more of the spirit of magnanimity, with which general U. S. Grant welcomed victory at the close of the civil war, President Harding said here today at the annual reunion of the nation's 100th anniversary of the birth of the "hero of the 60%."
The president spoke from $p$ platform in front of the little village store to a large throng that had come to this hamlet, the birth place of Grant, to pay homage to his memory.
But it seemed that running through his address was an outstanding thought which he was addressing to the nations of Europe, devastated by the war and among which hatred and prejudices still exist. That thought was received with resentment if he must not be perplexed if peace is to prevail.
"I wonder sometimes," said the president, "if the magnanimity of Grant, persistent, unalterable in war-fare, the unconditional surrender Grant would not be helpful in the world today."

HOME STUDY COURSES FOR FOREIGN LANDS
American Consul in Chile Ac
knowledges Value of K. U.
Correspondence School
The name of the University of Kansas and its correspondence school is becoming known even in South America. Each year the territory covered by the Correspondence Study Bureau widens and this year more foreign countries have been reached than ever before. The American Consul in Chile writes in acknowledgement that much has been learned about the correspondence courses available through the University of Kansas;
"At the present time there is little inspect of advantage being taken of correspondence courses except in isolated cases, but when once Chilean exchange becomes normal or at least considerably better, so that the present depression is reduced, matures and correspondence courses will receive.
Although these courses are known in other states and in foreign countries there are still resident students on the campus who do not know of the advantages and possibilities which this department holds out to them. If a student has been out of school or his class standing has, for any reason, become irregular, he is able to attend the Summer Session. he can earn the few fees he needs thus preparing for study while at home. The failures incurred in residence can not be removed through this department.
Students who do not expect to return to the University next fall may call at the Correspondence Study office in Fraser and find out what courses may be handled through home study.
MACHINE GUN FIRE STARTS
R. O. T. C. Juniors Will Be
Shown Technical Points
Members of the junior class enrolled in the R. O. T. C. are at present receiving instruction in machine gunnery and terrain fire. Target practice, with the latest type of machine gun used in the war, was commenced this afternoon on the range one mile north of Six Corners.
Machine gun fire differs somewhat from the ordinary Springfield rifle target practice, in that the machine gunner fires in what is termed "cerasus," while the rifleman has only to consider the "bull's eye" and the one trajectory of a single bullet. Targets also differ.
The men are being instructed in the technicalities of the nomenclature of the gun and how to lay down fire on various designated targets. Range work with the ordinary rifle will also continue.
The reunion of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites which is being held this week will be ended Friday night at a banquet for all Scottish Rites and the Scottish Games, to be obtained from George O. Foster not later than Friday night.
Dr. James Naismith will give the sixth of his lectures on "Normal Sex Life for Men," in Myer's Hall tonight at 7:30. It is desired that all members of the Friendship Council attend, and all men students—Laurence Walworth, acting secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
All Scottish Rites are urged to attend the meetings and dinners which are given at the Masonic Temple during the reunion. They will also be attended by the candidates who will take degrees as high as the thirty-second.
Mavis Laizure, c'24, will spend the week end in Kansas City.
ENGINEER CELEBRATION A SUCCESSFUL EVENT
Banquet Last Night Addressed
By Lindley on Engineer
Responsibilities
DECORATIONS A FEATURE
Interesting Speakers And Much Pep, Songs, and Yells in Evidence
"K U, activities consist of one engineering celebration after another," said Chancellor Lindley last night in commenting on the Engineers' Day after the Engineers' banquet given night in the University Commons.
Professor C. C. Williams was the master of the occasion, and introduced Chancellor E. H. Lindsey gave a witty toast on the way the工程师 run the campus. He also reminded them of their future responsibility and the fact of the necessity for exact and accurate measurement, for the engineer must make his living by his ability. Young spoke, and Mr. W. O. Pemmel talked on "Design and Engineering," Kent Frohwell, outgoing president of the School of Engineering, introduced the new officers of the technical school, and Burnet P. Treat, the new president, spent time with the school of Engineering! Simple perfectness characterized the Twenty-First Annual Engineer Bonnet. The decorations consisted of green vines twined around the pillars, lilies on the tables and a large electric sign of two parts in which the word "Engineering" would play "Engineer's Day" and "1928." These decorations were the work of the girls of the engineering school and much favorable comment was given them for the effectiveness of their work. The menu and program was contained in a cover of grym with an outline of the engineer hat upon
During the banquet an enjoyable program was given. Miss Madeline Dommeyer gave two readings and the Symphonia Quartet furnished the music for the occasion. Later the songs were performed by H. A. Rice and P. L. Brown, after which vells were given for the different departments.
MECHANICS AND CIVILS WIN
Finals Will Be Held Some Time Next Week
The Chemicals and Mechanicals were the victors in the semi-finals of the Engineers baseball tournament, played yesterday afternoon on the "Cowlot," south of the gymnasium. The Chemicals defeated the Civil Engineers 5 to 3, and the Mechanicals swamped the Industrials 11 to 5. Precipitation from the Industrials swattered their way to a 15 victory over the Mining Engineers.
Dr. James Naismith will give the fourth of his lectures on "Normal Sex Life" in Myers' Hall, Thursday evening at 7:30. The attendance to these lectures has been increasing and the men are showing great interest.
Wednesday afternoon the Chemists trimmed the Electricals 12 to 7 and the Civils won over the Architects 8 to 5.
The Mechanicals and Civils will battle for the supremacy in the finals next week, according to Wilbur Hoagland, Manager of the series. Batteries: Chemicals, Murphy and Irwin; Electronics, Duncan and Industries, Fitzsimons and Ackerman; Civils, Eaton and Kane; Miners, Wenzel, Brady and Hernand.
"It is desired that all the members of the Friendship Council be present," said Laurence Walworth, acting secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who had been asked to come. Doctor Naisimh approaches the problem from a more practical angle than any speaker we have had." The meeting is open to all men.
Students Show Interest In Nainsmith's Lectures
Nelson Entertains Women Medics
Dr. and Mrs. C, F. F. Nelson entertained the Women's Medical Association yesterday evening at their home. The women's medical school is in Medicine." Among other interesting statistics, he told that the first time a woman ever graduated from a medical school was seventy-three years ago. Last year six percent of women in schools were women. Now there are about twenty women studying medicine in the University of Kansas alone.

Mysterious Machine Will "Stir 'em Up'
The K. U. truck came pounding up the hill just as fast as it could travel under the heavy weight it carried. No one could discern what my nastorious thing was like: it is that its foot truss, which snakes around, tuckedturned in as if to lodge its burden at the Fower Shops. Instead, it halted when it had become hidden from view behind the back door; the Commons. This made things all more slippery and the shipsup to a backwirk in Snow Hall to watch the proceedings.
The truck driver got down from his seat looked about him in every direction, then seeing the coast was clear, called for his accomplice who appeared at once and together they immediately proceed to dispose of the crated object upon the ground at the back door, and drove hastily away.
The alert say betook himself to the seems to unveil the mystery. Although it was meant to be a deep dark secret it must be published that the Commons has purchased a new bread miter that will make cake, mix salad dressing, whin cream, and do most anything that needs stirring up.
ENGINEERING FACULTY DISCUSSES PROBLEMS
Students Eligible For Degree Formally Named at Meet Tuesday

Athletic Association Will Collect If One-tenth Inch Falls Tomorrow
PHOG INSURES GAMES AGAINST LOSS BY RAIN
BOTH GAMES ARE COVERED
Track Meets Also Come Under Contract With Insurance Company
Wil it rain one-tenth inch between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to tomorrow? This is the question being asked by the K. U. Athletic Association today. The new baselight diamond on Stadium Field will be *a*, muddy that the Ames-K. U. game, was to be played tomorrow afternoon, may be impossible, and the Athletic Association has taken out an insurance policy against this threat. However, if one-tenth inch does not fall between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., the Athletic Association cannot collect.
The policy insuring tomorrow's game reads in part: "The intention of this insurance is to indemnify the insured against loss by rainfall and in the event of one-tenth inch or more of rainfall at Lawrence, Kan., between 8:00 a. m. and 2:00 p. m. on the date hereinafter provided for, this company shall be liable for the full amount of the insurance."
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics, took out the policy in order to insure the Athletic Association against losses like it has suffered from baseball in past years. Under the contract of the Missouri Valley League, Ames is guaranteed $125.00 for journeying to K. U. In case of the game being called because of rain Ames still would collect K. U. would be the loser. Tomorrow and Saturday's games are both insured for $600.00. The premium paid was $75.00.
In spite of the fact that it will be impossible to play on Stadium Field, Coach Clark has hopes of being able to open the season for the local fans. If the Ames coach agrees, tomorrow's games will be played on the cow fatties at home and on the field and very fifth, making an excellent field for had weather playing.
The track meet with Nebraska scheduled for May 6, and the state high school outdoor meet on the afternoon of the same date, are also in attendance. The policy cover two event amounts to $500.00 and the premium $59.94.
CALL OFF ENGINEER PARADE
Everyone Is Sorry—Even the Laws
The Engineer's Day Parade has been called off altogether, according to Homer Rupard, chairman of the parade committee. Many of the floats are of nature that they are often carefully fitted by the rain which fell all morning.
There has been some suggestion that the parade might be postponed until tomorrow, but the parade committee does not think this advisable. The Engineer's holiday was today, and if the big affair were to be postponed, it would mean the breaking up of classes for another day.
Many of the engineering societies worked late last night to finish their floats, and it is a real disappointment. They are not able to display them to the public.
"All we can hone for," said one engineer who appeared worm and sleep from a night of toil, "is that the weather man will treat us better next year. One consolation is that the public will never know what we had planned and ideas do not grow old in a year."
The parade has always been one of the big payment displays of the school year, and the students of the University -yes, even the laws - are disappointed that the technical school was not permitted to stage its annual razzing, bomb-throwing, symbolic parade.
Alpha Chi Omegas Moved Saturday
Alpha Chi Omega sorority completed moving into their new home at the corner of Oread Avenue and Twelfth street. Saturday. The house was occupied by the Sigma Nu Fraternity until they traded it to W.

ENGINEERS DESCEND UPON SCHOOL OF LAW
They Bombarded Green Hall With Eggs and Stink Bombs
CLASSES WERE BROKEN UP
Fight Resulted When Engineers Sought Revenge For Destroyed Floats
Immediate upon returning to Marvin Hall, the engineering students took a collection to pay for the broken windows. Last night engineering boats which were intended for the parade today were demolished, and the engineers attached that the law students were guilty of the offence by morning the morning was intended as a repoll, and was start in all good nature.
The engineers descended upon Green Hall this morning just before the dismissal of the 9:30 class, and bombarded the laws with eggs, attack bombs, and various other missiles of a like nature. Green Hall and a law were burned in effigy, and a number of windows were broken.
Suddenly some few men began getting angry, and the francs developed into a real fight. Then the engineers made attempts to break them with attempts of various of their members to hold them in check. The laws fought them back with their fists, canes and paddles until they were back into the halls of their building.
Kent Frohwork, president of the School of Engineering, attempted to hold back the mob from invading the inn rooms of Green Hall, but could not control them. They rushed into the room and jailed pa through all the classes.
After distributing stink bombs through all the class rooms, so that classes had to be dismissed for; the rest of the day, the engineers left the building and proceeded down the road to their own habitat.
A fire extinguisher was taken from the third floor of Green Hall and manned by the Law students, was centered upon the engineers.
Nothing has been done as yet, concerning the fracas, by the University authorities, but investigations are being carried on by Dean J. R. Dyer and the respective heads of the two schools.
In regard to the fight, Doctor Burdick, chairman of the School of Law faculty, said, "I look with utter abhorrence upon the acts which were perpetrated this morning. It was a crime against the state of Kansas and I have been told that I have no other statement to make." A conversation was held immediately at which Doctor Burdick spoke of his disgust that such a thing should have been carried on at a university. It was decided that if it met with the approval of the student body in the debate, the debate for next week would be organized. Engineers would be called off entirely, and all communication between the laws and engineers would be discontinued in view of this morning's demonstration.
MEMORIAL LIBRARY ASKED
Solicit Small Contributions for Louvian Edifice
"Contributions of twenty-five cents are sufficient. Students may even give less. It is the fact that they are contemptuous to a great memorial, rather than merely giving a sum of money," be continued.
"Only small contributions are being asked for the drive for our part in the building of the library of the University of Louvain," said Prof. Roy Town, today, in regard to the work of the University in collecting its fund for Louvain.
This fund is being directed by Chancellor Butler of Columbia University. It has received the highest number of awards and others. Its object is to build a library at the University of Louvain, some twenty miles from Brussels, Belgium as a memorial from the edu-
cation institutions of America to the war heroes.
