CONFERENCE MAY FAIL
TO PRODUCE RESULTS
Progressives Threaten to Disrupt Harding's Agricultural Meeting
UNION SUPPORTS PROGRAM
Farmer's Organization Draws Plans for Government Relief
Washington, Jan. 24. - A volcano is rumbling under the plastic surface of President Harding's Agriculture conference It threatened to erupt with devastating political effects on the conference and failed to produce a constructive program of agricultural relief.
A powerful progressive group is now threatening insurgency in the reference unless the assembly goes on record emphatically in favor of what it believes is the only program that supports the farmers. The program follows.
1. By natural relief even if the government must extend credit totaling a billion dollars.
2. Twenty-five per cent in freigh rates.
4. Cooperative marketing and buying.
3. Insurance of the farmers against loss.
This in substance, was the program drafted at an executive meeting of the National Farmers Union.
Support of this program, it is understood, has been pledged by the National Gleaners federation, the Pennsylvania State Grange, the National Non-Partisan league, the Society of Equity, the Farmers National Council, and other agricultural organizations pledged as progressive members. S. Stark of Michigan is president of the Farmers National Council.
Much bitterness is manifested among the progressives at the composition of the various committees of the conference. They charged the committees selected by a committee appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is loaded with reactionary delegates. This, however, will not bulk the progressives who plan to bring in minority reports on every question that does not meet their approval.
PWER LAB ROOF CHANGEL
Three Gables to Give Unity to Combination of New and Old
There seems to be a misunderstanding as to the exterior of the new power laboratory, declares Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith of the department of architecture, who has had charge of this laboratory that was given out the other day it was stated that the new laboratory when finished would be five stories in height. This is erroneous according to Professor Goldsmith, who says that the new building will be very his taller than the present laboratory.
An important feature of the new design has not been reported. The old building was built in two sections with two different designs. The two sections are not even symmetrical as the windows are one in height and one are low. The door of one is on the right of the building and on the other it is on the left. This presented a difficult problem to the designers as to how to make these two parts look well with the new section without changing their design. As the plan has been made out the building will be much more architectural and beautiful than the original plans and with very little alteration.
The old saw-tooth roof will be taken off and in its place the new roof will consist of three gables of equal size. The windows and doors of the new section will be so arranged that they will harmonize with the rest of the building. Allogather, Professor Goldsmith says, when the new area are completed the building will have an appearance worthy of an educational building quality of a position on the faculty of the University of Kansas rather than the appearance of an ordinary industrial machine shop or power plant.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley spent Monday in Wichita in the interests of the Memorial campaign. He made an address before a group of alumni at Bishop Church and the city Monday night. Dr. Lindley in Columbus night.

Observations Reveal Several Astonishing Facts Regarding Developments In Examinations
A few observations in various classrooms the past few days have brought out some interesting data as to how some of us are solving the question.
NUMBER 82
Slide rules are appearing with queen hydrography upon them. Rods of salvation, we'll say.
We find that shirts with stiff cuffs are being worn this week. (Yes, we know it's old stair衣 but it's still used.) We're popular with chemistry students.
Beautiful faces in watches are being replaced with something more important. Some thoughtful students are carrying two watches in such cases, one to show the professor the time in case he should ask, you know.
And over in the department of psychology they are polishing up the tale of the boy who left his rib in his quook book when he waended it in. How wickedly they smile when they tell it! We wonder...?
Then there is that terrible tale going about the Hill of the fellow who had so many eryb cards that he had no choice. Take care. Take heed to learn: condescence.

Opposition to Custom of Having Italian Pope
Rome, Jan. 24—Choice of a successor to the late Pope apparently asys among three cardinals. Cardinal Masey of Pisa; Cardinal LaFonita of Milan were the three upon whom the most attention was concentrated.
DIFFICULTY IN CHOOSING POP
Sigma Gamma Elects
High officials in an interview declared France was supporting Cardinal Murcier of Belgium in honeo of the institution of choosing an Italian for Pope.
There were elements of opposition o all three of these candidates, however, and it was regarded as within the bond of probability that the final choice would fail to some probate whose name has not been prominently mentioned. Cardinal Merry Del Valho hirten in his testimony to the Benedict, was believed likely to oppose Cardinal Massy.
At the meeting of Sigma Gamma
epsilon, professional geological
freemay, Jan. 12, the following officers
voted for the enaing semester:
President, Clarence L. Block;
Professor, Bennett B. Cline;

And the old-timers are whispering to wide-eyed frost that amazing parable of the Looking-Glass Prof. It seems that this wicked man, unbeknown to his students fastened a looking glass to the ceiling and at the end of the exam period read off the names whose papers would not be accepted.
Yea, verily it takes a sharp eye and a quick hand.
The prof is my torment, I fear won't pass.
He torturet my soul; he draggeth me down the paths of knowledge for ever; he drivev up high my light bill he drawt to lie down and draw his own sale.
He revelate the questions before me in the presence of mine classmates. I fillen with my pen with ink but it bolt tthe paper,
Yeah, though I walk through the valleys of final exams, I will fear no flank: for I am ready; my crib and my pony they comfort me.
Surely luck will be with me through all the days of this week so I won't need to take the same courses forever.
An earthquake is not the only kind of quiver that the world undergoes. Final examinations produce an electrical shock upon the nerve-racked student's system that is fully as disastrous to peace and calm as a thunderstorm or a volcanic outburst from old Mother Nature.
Next War Between Profs and Students?
Some have predicted that the next war will be between the professor's cohorts and the legions of down-trodden students who are trying to make the twentieth century crusade in the university of knowledge. Although the professional minds are supposed to represent a well of truth, the college seniors are gradually rising up in open result at the excessive tax levy. Students of this question—it is only in this connection that we can call ourselves students—ay that the psychological effect of the tax levy creates a set of quizzes questions in his hand, it very apt to prove disastrous to the turbulent hordes of serfs determined to wipe out the scourge. "The defense has youth on its side, but the eyes of the weary studies are already glazed from excessive exposure to the midnight light," he writes from seeking the light, and their backs humped from daily honoring quartos prescribed by the common enemy.
Will right prevail? Will the horn-rommed monster with a desk for a throne continue his depreciations against the human freedom? Ob, loyal Jayhawkers, lead the way and, even failing, be the martyrs in a murderous armor. In the more affliction—intellectual slavery. Cry out. "If there be exams, eloquent olequence, based on general impressions of the course, hold waxy!"
Mail 650 Voting Cards To Upperclassmen Today
Six hundred and fifty cards are being sent out today to the seniors and graduates for the referendum vote on changing the date of the Commencement Program this year. A mass meeting of the upperclass was not feasible at this time as most of the seniors are taking final examinations, and it was desirable to get the vote of the class immediately in order that the Commencement Committee could act accordingly.
The cards mailed are double postage cards. Each senior is asked to mark his vote, detach the card and mail it at once to Laura Harkrader, secretary of the class. The votes will be counted immediately. The cards are so arranged that the voter can only choose the possible. The senior merely checks his preference for the Commencement date, and mails the stamped and addressed card.

Let a "K" Book Save A Mental Tabulation
Green Hall (Public Speaking.)
If so, why not, as they say in Swedish you won't have to require a mental tabulation of everything and everybody now that the "K" books are on sale. They serve as a pocket dictionary of facts, a veritable treasure-trove of information, with the aid of one of these you can soon become known as a walking encyclopedia.
"K" books will be distributed at Robinson Gymnastics January 30 and 31, the two enrollment days. Members of the Campus Service Committee will have a booth there where those flighty freshmen and procter-paul students purchase the books. Five hundred copies have already been dished out this year and, it is rumored, the new hatching is likely to go fast.
Washington, Jan. 24—The Far East committee of the Arms Conference to day recognized Japan's stand on the war with China and all troops can remain in Siberia.
Adam and Eve Were Quizzed Cleopatra Quizzed Anthony So What Chance Have We
In Eden, after Adam and his serpent-beguiled helpmate Eve had munched the fruit of the forbidden tree to the very core, and in pure and unadulterated fear for their act of murder themselves, the two were "quizened." This quiz was in the nature of questions and, specifically, had to do with an account of their actions. Nevertheless, it was a quiz, unenlightened, and asked so far as their cause aintrained, the first quiz in all history.
A good many years ago, before any of us can remember, Anthony began courting Cleopatra. He began keeping company with her, so to speak After a while all the papers carried an announcement of their engagement, and just a few sand glasses later, they were married.
The nuptial bliss continued for several months. Then the royal estate began to burz with scandal. It was to the effect that Anthony had come in from a particularly wild spree, wolf-like, around Cloe and around with Cleo. Only recently they have been able to get the inside facts, and for these we are indebted to Strauss and Co., History of the World. It seem sth Cleopatra began to quiz
Costly Quizzes Make The Red F Expensive
"That quiz was sure costly to me! how often have you heard this sorrowful ingent harm from the student as he passes out from a final examination. But how little does he realize how true his worries are. The little red F's that bob up so promiscuously on the transcript card of the student who takes the costly quizzes are expensive marks indeed and if the student considered the cost of a funk from a teacher, how much would it put his brain in a whitr more graturity than did the deadly final quiz.
According to the caimate of the registrar's office, that the average student spends approximately $900 a year, thirty hours of cost credit $500, or $30 to reach hour. Flanking one five-hour course would mean the loss of $200 in money viewpoint. No wonder that some final quizzes are so costly—especially if credit in the course depends upon the final examination. Losing $150 in a three hour session is not so high for an unlucky poker player, but to the poor, suffering, unlimited student it is a mountain of gold.
Now that the crisis of a semester is here it is interesting to note how much money will be expended via the flunk route this week. Estimating that 45,000 hours are being carried by the students of the University and of this number ten per cent flank flunked in one semester. At thirty dollars per hour this loss from the red F amounts to $13,500.
This is a large loss, merely considering the student's point of view; but to the University this amount is multiplied many times. Probably the professor realizes less loss than any party concerned, which may be an exertion for the little bit she is still in a popular form of tubulating those students whose standing is among the lower five or ten per cent of the class.
Ottawa Fire Destroys Lumber Yard and Autos
Otawa—Jan. 24—The John Hollowen lumber yard, the city garage and forty-five automobiles were destroyed by fire here today.
Flying timber, started a dozen other fires in a radius of a block. These were extinguished without however using any fire-treatment total loss was estimated at $75,000.
Scholarships Awarded
Edwin Schreiler, fa23, and Louse Macklennih, fa23, have both been awarded scholarships by a vote of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts. Mr. Schreiler has also been taken by their talent. Mr. Schreiler in the piano department was given the fifty dollar prize awarded by Mrs. H. B. Ober. Miss McLaughlin, of the department of voice was awarded the Image Jones scholarship of fifty dollars.

Anthony the minute he placed his unsteady foot on the royal staircase, Right there the trouble started, and, incidentally, it is said that Cloe nearly threw a leg at the camera. But the big point is she quizzed him. Well, hitting the high road of history and jogging down a few ages, we find Secretary Denby shooting a cable across to England and asking Admiral Sims what he said to make him more sure he can pretty strong now. It is nature a quirk "Please obey me that."
So quizzes did not originate with the creation of the University of Kansas, nor even with the creation of educational institutions, but with the creation of man. Because they have been existent so long, because they have enjoyed an unusual popularity, and because they served of them immediately. It will be a process of years, possibly centuries.
So while we stare at the Egyptian hieroglyphics on the boards, chew our pencils into pulp, and wonder how the prof managed to think up such a wonderful array of unintelligible conglomerations, let us comfort ourselves with the fact that he himself doesn't know the answers.
ETHEL BARRYMORE TO APPEAR HERE MONDAY
Will Play the Leading Part of Lady Helen in "Declassee"
Ethel Barrymore will appear at the Bowersock theater Monday evening in Declassee, a play by Zoe Atkins. This play run for two weeks in New York and in New York and, according to New York playwayers was a wonderful success.
In "Declassee" Miss Barrymore plays one of the most splendid roles of her stage career and one of the kind in which her loyal following love best to see her. She is Lady Helen Halen a young Englishwoman who was a victim of abuse to whom, through no fault of our own save an amusing recklessness; unhappy circumstances bring matrimonial disaster.
Adrift from her acustomed surroundings Lady Helen is seen next in New York, embarked upon a social outing with his friends. The center of the gay group of unusual, inconsequential worldlings, and with happiness seemingly almost within her grass her adventures have never been made, a note of gripping, pathetic tolerance.
The Charles Froman Company has surrounded Miss Barrymore with a most distinguished and capable company.
BAUMGARTNER TO TEACH
Will Return to Department of Zoology Next Semester
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, who has been Organization Secretary for the Memorial Corporation for the past eight months, will return with the opening of the new semester to his living in the department of zoology.
At Commencement time Professor Baumgartner was relieved from all duties in the department for the Summer Session and the fall semester by the University Administration and asked to continue the work of organizers for the remaining $50,000 that had to be raised from the K. U. alumni.
Routine plans of organization have been worked out and the drives are under way or completed in most of the K. U. centers. The work is to be carried on by the three field workers added to the staff this winter, John Porter, Basil Church, and Henry McCurdy.
He is now in Columbus, where the drive is to be completed by the end of this week.

Class Makes Problems Of Heredity Practical
During the past semester members of Prof. W. R. B. Robertson's class in Heredity in Relation to Engenics have been making practical use of the principles taught in the course by investigations in their own communities. Among the different hereditary traits traced have been: longevity, polydactyly, elongity and straight hair, foot curves, imbalance, tummy tooth, crooked finger, and liver spots. It is the plan of Professor Robertson to include some of the articles in a bulletin issued by the University of Kansas.
