Kansas Reporter Thrills at Hearing ExPremier's Wife Discuss Movie Butlers
THINKS AMERICA CORDIAL
Hopes Daughter's Presence in U. S. W. Will Cement English- American Friendship
A Kansas reporter experienced the biggest thrill of his career last Friday in Kansas City when he found he was to get an interview with Margot Asquith, the well-known writer wife of the English ex-president, who is visiting America. The interview took place at the Edwin W. Shields mansion, which is a large, English looking brick house in the center of extensive grounds surrounded by a high brick wall.
The Bright Student, with some other reporters, was driven to the Shields home in a taxi, where a slight difficulty was experienced in obtaining entrance, for no one knew how to ring the doorbell, there being none in evidence. Inquiry of the taxi driver, however, revealed that the thing to be was to pull a long iron sort of thing that hung down from the ceiling to porch. This done the eating app and bathed the reporters, the Bright Student among them, through a long, enormous hall and into the drawing room where they were told that Mrs. Asquith would soon be down.
Mrs. Asquith is about five feet four inches tall, and is very slim. The first thing the Bright Student noticed about her apparel was a pair of pumps which were fully two sizes too large. Her skirt matched the knitted silk skirt which looked to the Bright Student something like triclette, but he was pretty sure it wasn't that, because it was much heavier than most triclette he had ever seen. Her blouse was loose, gray and white in color and was much thicker than you call it. Something like that. Her hair was black turning gray.
The first thing Mrs. Asquith said upon entering the room was "You reporters, you reporters. You're never on time. Americans are never on time. I have been waiting since nine o'clock." Here the Bright girl did his host to register confirmation. Upon being questioned, she denied having ever said what was credited to her by eastern papers; "Kansas? What is that?" Mrs. Asquith said that women reporters did not appeal to her in the least. "They always ask the same questions," she said. "They ask 'What do you think about flappers?' and 'What is your idea for a business idea on these things.' I just never think about them one way or the other."
Mrs. Asquith says she has been misquoted regarding her dislike for America. "Your sleeping cars are attricious," she said. "One has no privacy whatsoever in them. They are immodest and one cannot smoke. The way you Americans rush around and make a mess in your house is a good time and never resting! You have clubs for the purpose of culture instead of growing up with culture in your homes. Why read the newspapers when you can read books? In England the sleeping cars are composed of entirely separate compartments, a far superior and we read books and do not have clubs for the purpose of culture.
"But in spite of all this," she hurried on, "I do not dislike America. Like America? I love it. You are friendly, hospitable and cordial. I have been received very well." My object in coming to America was to see my daughter who is in Washington, and to assist in cementing the friendship between America and England. If I didn't love America I wouldn't be wishing I have in sleeping ears and elsewhere, to travel in your country."
Upon being asked a number of questions regarding English butlers Mrs. Aquith divulged a great many secrets that would be interesting to the American movie-mad public it general. She says, "the butler is not a picture in motion pictures; tall, unbending, colorless silent. He is a real human and reasonsable. And he has a real reasonability, for he must manage the enire household and all the servants Every morning I see him at 30. He has two chairs down, and they discuss the activities of the day. The butle talks in an ordinary way, smiles an even laughs. He does not stand wif

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION HERE
Editors Will Visit Kansas City Industrial Plants
Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism, went to Topeka Saturday to discuss arrangements for the program of the Kansas Editorial Association which is to meet here in May.
It was decided that two or three of the principal speakers would be secured outside from the state of Kan. Mr. Williams would be two round table discussions, one by the editors of the dailies of Kansas and the other by the editors of the weekly publications. The meetings occurred at the journalism Building, Friday, May 8.
Thursday, preceding the principal day of the meeting, the Editorial Golf Association will play a tournament on the Country Club Links.
Saturday following, the members of the thief Association will go to Kansas City, Kansas, where they will be taken on an industrial trip over the city. Carl White, editor of the Kansas City Tribune, will give a lecture part of the trip. Following the trip, there will be a dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce of Kansas City, Kan.
Lawrence has broken into the big league with a new venture—the first of its kind in the state.
The Ku ku party, held at Wiedemann's last Friday evening, March 24 was a complete success. John Montgomery who was in charge of the party reported conflict, fun and fear as well, were two courses of r-freshments.
Members of the Elks lodge have decided to purchase a radio receiving set to take messages concerts and news reports from the ether. A corporation has been formed, and the three hundred Lawrence Elks are subscribing for shares at one dollar each.
Lawrence Elks Pioneer With Radio Corporat
Headquarters of the corporation will be at the Elk's club rooms on Vermont road, and according to Win Newmark, Lawrence merchant and promoter of the idea, one of the best radio set it is possible to obtain will be purchased and installed at an early date. The apparatus will be powerful enough to receive from all parts of the country, it is said.
Ku Ku Klan Has Party:
May Go to West Point
At present there are about thirty active members, Chief Wu Ku Bredberg says that the Klan will be reorganized and a better plan of activity worked out. He says it is the intent to establish a coalitional team to West Point next fall.
Printers Keep Pace With Spring Styles
Spring fervor surely hits one hard. And it is especially noticeable when it goes to the head. The printers in the department of journalism have taken the present as the auspicious day, and printed a new headwear—headwear that is “difficult.” The entire force of men, with the exception of the foreman, are sporting small paper hats, square like the kindergarten may basket, and with a tendency to slip to one side of their body, that makes no obvious difference.
"They're not so 'different' at that," said one of the printers at tain." These hats were made by one of the newsmen in a system down fine. "It is a mean hat."
The girls work at the machines are not wearing the new "fad," however. Perhaps they are jealous of the fact that it won't designed for them, or they're going again, maybe the men won't let 'em. If it's a man's tradition, you see.
W. S. G. A. ELECTION COMES ON APRIL
The first W. S. G. A. election will be held Wednesday, April 5, according to Ruth Miller, secretary of the council and chairman of the election committee. On that date the women will elect tl Executive Council, which consists of president, vice-president, vice-president from the School of Fine Arts, secretary, treasurer, manager of book exchange, and postmaster. Representatives will be elected on the following Wednesday, April 1p.
Candidates for Executive Positions Must Have Petitions in Before March 29
"According to the new constitution, adopted last spring," Miss Miller said, "candidates must circulate their petitions, and have them in the hands of the secretary seven days before the election. Candidates for the executive council must give me their petitions, signed by fifty nine candidates before 6 p.m., representatives a week later. The length of time between presentation of the petitions and the election was lengthened by the new constitution. A fee of fifty cents must accompany the petition."
Voters are assured of at least two full tickets, for by the new constitution, in case there are not two candidates for any office, the executive council selects a second one. In the meantime, the legislature lack of opponents, but under the new ruling, this will be impossible in the future.
Campaign Goes Across Big in Kansas Towns
Latest return on the success of the Memorial Campaign show that it is being carried on vigorously and carved in a number of Kapanas towns.
Fratt finished up last week under the direction of W. J. Pedigo, a former student of the University with a contribution of $1500. Newton reports to date a contribution of the same amount as his total will run about $2,000. Walter J Troublesa is in charge of the campaigne there.
Temporary loss of the use of her speaking voice made it impossible for Miss Helen Bennett, the manager of the Chicago College Bureau of Occupations, to attend the vocational conference for K. U. women this week. Miss Margaret Torrison, assistant to Miss Bennett, came in her place.
Denver, as yet, has sat in only partially complete returns. The various teams over the city have not reported and so it is difficult to say what the final total will be. $2500 has been pledged to date.
Loss of Voice Prevents Miss Bennett's Coming
The program is being carried out just as announced. Miss Torrison has the same information and data as the one of all the appointments arranged for.
The W. S. G. A. Council met with her at a lineup in the rooms of the University, and she addressed the women of the University in Fraser Chapel.
Mr. H. Harley, superintendent of the printing department of Central High School, Kauai City, and C. Miller, student pressman, were visitors

C. A. Here Today
THE ENGINEERS HEAR RINDGE THIS MORNING
SPOKE TO THE ENGINEERS
Will Discuss Plans With Collegiate Industrial Research Group of Local Y. M.
F. H. Rindge, secretary of the Industrial Department of the National Y. M. C. A. is at the University today. He spoke at engineering convoitation this morning and to economics and sociology classes on the problems
In this connection the Y. M. C. A. assists out men to large industrial plants to work with and study the laborers. Mr. Rindge will meet with the College Industrial Research Group of the Y. M. C. A. here to discuss plans with them. They have made an outline for the summer workers with the help of Prof. J. Jenson and Mr. Rindge will examine this.
"Human Engineering" was the subject of the talk made by Mr. Rindge to the engineers in their convocation this morning. The successful engineer of today must be a world citizen, he told them.
The changes in Europe today have made it necessary to understand all people, he continued. A delegation sent to him in Spain voiced the sentiment of all Europe toward the United States when its leader made this six word speech: "We need; you can; you ought."
The engineer is midway between capital and labor, and to be successful he must learn to look both ways. He must act as mediator between the two and to act intelligently he must speak to him he is dealing with on both sides.
Human engineering, he continued,
is the answer to the problem of labor.
It gives the men an interest in their
work and the employer an interest in
the men. "Make men as well as
profits," is the saying of Harry Clark
of Cleveland, an authority in this work.
The engineers' hardest struggle, he went on to say is in learning to handle man. It is the one thing most often neglected in the engineer's training and the one thing he is the least able to be without.

Personality and executive ability are necessary requirements for workers in this line, according to Professor Gillin. Students and instructors of the department took advantage of an opportunity for individual conferences with Professor Gillin, Saturday afternoon.

It is believed, that in order to facilitate more efficient teaching, several of the large classes which are necessary for the preparation necessitating the cutting out of several smaller classes, according to one member of the committee. However, the idea was expressed that a course
the idea was expressed that a course that is essential for the development of a subject will not be interfered with.
The tendency will be to insist on eliminating further subdivisions and not to increase the number of advanced courses in order to keep within the limits of the budget." Professor Holland stated this morning.
