Few of This Year's Notes Have Been Met and Many Renewals Requested
MAXIMUM LOAN IS $100
Student Loan Fund in Success ful Operation After Twenty- Five Years
George O. Foster, University Regi-
starized, said in a recent interview
that the present business depression
has caused a great number of re-
quests for renewals of Student Loan
Punts and that very few of this
request is being made to him.
This is a rather bad situation

their way through until present conditions are deprived of even the loan fund to fall back upon. The interest rates are low and consequently it is important that the notes be met when order to keep the good work going.
The recommendations of the loans, it is explained, are based principally upon scholarship, and the degree of student credit for students obtaining loans are earning the greater part of their expenses by outside work. College authorities have noticed that loans are sought by the women, university more than by the women.
The maximum loan which a student may make at one time is $1000, and in general, payment is expected to be the same for each loan indication with interest at 4 per cent.
It is over a quarter of a century since the Student Loan Fund of Kansas University was established by the graduating class in College and Engineering of 1804, and it is still in successful operation, giving aid to worthy students above the freshman rank to graduate by autosupervised classes and also by individuals until the collective fund now approximates $20,000.
The money is disbursed by George O. Foster, University Registrar, upon sufficient recommendation of the dean and on written approval to be enrolled and in accordance with the terms of the gift which state that sums not to exceed $100 may be
loaned on bankable notes at 4 per cent interest to students above the

PRES. HARDING URGES BIG MERCHANT FLEET
Asks Subsidies to Increase Commerce in His Speech Before Congress
A merchant marine with large direct subsidies was awarded by President Harding today in a message delivered by him to Congress, in order that the country may regain the place on the seas it held in the early days of the Republic. "Such a merchant marine is a desired agency of peace and it bears no threat and invites no gravel," and the President.
President Harding incorporated in his speech almost bodily the recommendation of the United States Shipping Board for a direct subsidy amounting to about $30,000,000 a year and calling for various indirect aid. He asked Congress to approve all these.
Recognizing the widespread opposition of agricultural interests to a ship subsidy which has been a political "sugarcase" for many years, hardering emphasized that shipping is no more a sectional interest than agricultural or manufacturing, and that all sections of the country stood to gain by a rising ocean commerce under the American flag. He campaigned against the broadened waterway project as a broadvisioned enterprise.
Only by finding the subsidies can the merchant marine of the United States be made great and the nation take place on the sea which it held in the early days of the Republic, he said. The President spoke in the hall of the House. The galleries and the floor were jammed.
In carrying out the ship subsidy program American labor standards for seamen must not be lowered, Harding said. The president's recommendations were embodied in bills proposed by the House and in the Senate.
Harding concluded his speech at 10:00'clock this afternoon. He was warmly applauded a number of times during the reading of the message, particularly when he declared that the administration is determined to establish a merchant marine, commensurate with our commerce.
The president assured congress that every precaution has been taken in the program against private greed.
Blanket of Snow Prevents Loss of 1922 Wheat Crop
Topeka, Feb. 28 - Serious danger of a 1922 wheat shortage grew less acute today as the wheat lay beneath a heavy blanket of snow that was accompanied by drifting winds and zero temperatures.
In the fields of Kansas millions of acres threatened with destruction, were covered by snow ranging from a few inches to more than eight inches. Snow was still falling in Western Kansas today, the drift blocking and hampering train service.
Snow was still falling over southern Kansas today, especially in western Kansas. The storm reached the intensity of a blizzard and while no reef losses have yet been received, losses have felt for livestock on open range.
The snow extended to north Texas, the weather bureau said.
Oklahoma today reported the worst storm of the year, with raging snow driven before cutting north winds, ranging from two to five inches, at Tulsa. The storm and saturation as transportation schedules were becoming obstructed.
Mrs. Robecca Ayrles Crank, Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star of Kansas was entertained at a luncheon by the Aechoth Sorority, Saturday. A banquet at the Masonic Temple in the evening, Mrs. Crank was installed as Patroness in the Aechth Sorority.
Mrs. Crask was a student in the University in 1908.
INTELLIGENCE TESTS MAY BE REQUIREMENT
University Officers Think Freshman Adaptability Tests May Be Installed Here
HOPE TO ADVISE ENTREES
Intelligence tests as a means of assisting prospective students at the University of Kansas, to select their college courses, are being given serious consideration by the administration. You can only be it hospice that will be possible to give prospective students adequate advice as to which courses they can most likely pursue successfully, but it is anticipated that it will be possible to find in advance, and to warn that small proportion of enter-users may need to find it impossible to carry on work of the University standard.
Prospective Students Showing Low Intelligence Would Be Asked Not to Enter
"We have no intention of going back to the old fashion of college entrance examinations," said F. J. Lester, a professor of history at University, "but a number of American universities have found that there is a marked relation between the results of intelligence tests and the grade grades that students make.
"Right here in the University of Kansas we are applying the acid test of grades to figures obtained in intelligence tests given the Freshman class in December. The comparative results are illuminating. If we can be sure that low ratings in intelligence tests indicate that a student will very likely have difficulty in carrying on University courses, we will be able to save the student the expense of a half-year in the University for attempting to teach him something for which he is not prepared."
Prof. Curt Rosenow, under whose direction psychological tests are given, emphasized Dean Kelly's position, that intelligence tests no matter how certain their results might be as applied to groups, could not be taken as certain indices of the capabilities of individuals.
"Just because an individual made a low grade in an intelligence test in a subject related to mathematics, he would have to take a mathematics course successfully, but it would warrant conference with the individual, and possibly advice to him that he direct his student toward their channels," said Professor Resnow.
Sociology Majors in Meeting Dean F. W. Blackman has called a meeting of all students majoring in sociology, to be held at 4:30 o'clock Thursday, March 2 in Room 108, East Administrator. The meeting is an important one and it is necessary that every student be there.
F. G. Brand, dean of the college of Liberal Arts, declared the comparison of the list of students on probation for low grades with a list of students taking low grades in intelligence tests at the college, but cutting Professor Rosenow's point that results were more reliable for the group than for the individual, was an example of a student on probation for low grades, who ranked among the highest 20 per cent in intelligence tests. A professor office玻驶 a student who qualified he had allowed outside interests to interfere with class work.

PRINCESS MARY SAID "I WILL" AT 11:45
Ceremony Markee
dits Beauty and
Solemnity
Wedding
LONDON GAY WITH FLAGS
Viscount Lascelles Was Nervous During Ceremony; His Face Flushed
Westminster Abbey, London, Feb.
Ft.-Princess Mary of Britain today
secede the bride of Viseount Las-
elles.
In a wedding ceremony marked for its beauty and solemnity, the popular princess of first mark among the catholic communes, was married shortly before noon before an assault by the communes and commonsens and visiting royalty.
Vincent Lascelles and Princess Mary were pronounced man and wife at 11:45 o'clock. They left the Abbot together a few minutes after lunch.
The Westminster Abbey was a scene of unassured beauty as the princess on the arm of her father, King George, moved down the alley to the magnificent altar where Viscount Lascelles was waiting. In a brief but impressive Church of England service, the monarch united by the Arebishop of Canterbury. Fifteen other English clergymen assisted in the ceremony.
King George himself placed Princess Mary's hand in that of Viscount Lancelots.
Princess Victoria Alexander—Alice Mary, as she was called during the marriage service, promised to love, honor, and obey her husband who stood proudly erect as the archebishop pronounced the concluding words.
Not only Londoners, but thousands had come from the provinces, from every corner of the British Isles, and hundreds from the continent, to pay their respects to the princess who was founding an Englishman for her husband.
London, gay with flags and decora-
tions and feverish with excitement,
had only one thought—the royal walt-
ing today. Thousands who made
their way through joftiling crowds to
points of vantage at daybreak found
other thousands who had been wa-
ting there during the night. The
route of the procession from the pal-
ley to the castle was carried by
thousands by 10 e'clock. By 10
e'clock the crowd had exceeded
possible count.
At 11:25 a thunderous roar of wel-
marked the approach of the King and the Princess. At 11:25 the bride-to-be was assisted from the state carriage and entered the Abbey on her father's arm.
During the actual wedding ceremony Viscount Lascasele was nervous, his face flushed. By his side, Princess Mary was very solomil, her face alternately rosy and pale. Mary could be seen to nod her head emphatically when she answered, "I will."

Discussed Possibility of Effective Vocational Guidance and Intelligence Tests
PROMINENT MEN PRESENT
Interesting Tests Regarding Musical Ability Told of in One Report
"There were two things under discussion at these meetings," said Dean Dyer. "One was the use of intelligence tests and closely co-ordinated with it, the possibility of effective vocational guidance."
Daniel John R. Dyer of the University of Kannas was in attendance at the meetings of the National Vocational Council, which were held in Chicago last week.
Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern University, Dr. John R. Brewer, head of the vocational bureau of Harvard, David George F. Arps, head of the School of Education of Ohio State University, were among those who took part on the program.
"There as a general agreement that intelligence tests are of some value in indicating an individual's chance for success in unskilled and skilled trades and in professions," said Dean Dyer. "However, they are not yet considered to be of much value in indicating specific occupations.
"An unusually interesting report was given by Dr. Elmer E. Jones of the School of Education of Northwestern. He gave an account which had been in tests for unaccuraiting music such as guitar and such tests for several years to fifth grade children and has uncovered some remarkable musicians who had no idea of it. An entertaining side-light on the use of these tests is that he is one of those who has studied music for thirty years and is completely devoted of music.
"The general opinion was that the thing needed is tests for determining aptitudes. For specific trades and professions," said Dean Dyer.
The Vocational Guidance meetings closed Saturday night with a session on *Intelligence Tests and Their Impact* on Brown University's was the chief of Dean F. J. Kelly of the University presided over the meeting from his position as president of the National Society for the Study of Education. The meeting was of continued faith in intelligence tests and caution as to their use.
Dean Kelly is remaining in Chicago where he and Dean Kent and Prof. F. P. O'Brien of the School of Education of the University, will attend the meetings of the Department of Rural Education of the National Educational Association which are being held there February 27 to March 2.
