United States to Wait Until She Sees Views of Other Countries
MAY ASK FRANCE TO STOP ARMY ADVANCE

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1921
Y. M. C. A. Will Discuss Campus Honor Spiri
The topic for discussion at the regular meeting of the Y, M. C. A. on Thursday evening will be the indifference of the student in regard to the honor system. The criticism has been raised on the campus by students who have no honor spirit. Some few students have it but it does not exist in the majority.
At this meeting, a decision will be reached as to whether or not the students have an honor spirit, and if not, what steps could be taken to bring this spirit on the campus. Some prominent educators have been invited to attend the meeting and express their views on the subject.
FINAL BAND CONCERT
SCORES BIG APPLAUS'
Xylophonist and Soprano Solois Were Outstanding Features On Program
K. U's hand in its concert last night in Fraser Chapel gave a short and snappy program of eight numbers before a good sized audience.
Almost all of the six numbers by the band, and both of the two solo numbers, the first by Miss Marquette and the second by Gala H. Roberts, xophonist/photographer were enriched. Mr. Roberts' efforts on the xophone were probably the feature numbers of the evening when he responded to reported applause.
Among the heavier numbers by the band, which were well received, were the "Echos from the Opera," collection by Tobini, and the "Scotch Meldes" medley by Bourens. Two lighter numbers, "Simplicity" and "Basket of Roses," were also well liked by the audience.
The band will play twenty minutes in the all-University concert to be held next week, that being its last concert appearance of the year.

GERMANY MAY DODGE INDEMNITY DEMANDED
So Says J. W. T. Mason Who Writes for the United Press
CLAUSES ARE DECEPTIVE
Germany Has Plans Whereby She Will Not Pay
All
Germany's repatriation offer to the allies is a deceptive effort to create an impression that the allied terms has been taken over. J. W. T. Munson of New York.
Written for The United Press By J. W. T. Mason
As a matter of fact Germany has cannonflag her offer in such a way that if it were accepted, the allies would receive less than their demand. By a piece of suggestive propaganda Germany has offered to pay the allies 200 billion gold marks or 50 billion dollars.
Germany has done nothing of the ind. By a complicated reference to interest payment, the Germans have treated a false impression.
Germany's offer stripped of deceptive phrases, is that she will pay the 50 billion gold marks, which is **12%** billion dollars. Germany will also raise foreign and domestic loans at once and will hand the proceeds over to the allies. Germany promises to make the domestic loan a big success and abroad to subscribe heavily to the foreign loan.
It would cause no surprise, if Germany would pay to the allies the 25 billion marks more to be paid over a certain term of years with interest rates added, which Germany suggests to be 4 per cent. But Germany also pays probably with much rapidity so as not to make the interest charges in the aggregate more than equal the principal, that is to say the total interest charge Germany would pay the allies would not be more than 25 billion marks. This would make the identity principle more important and principle and 25 billion in interest. The total would be 75 billion marks, or less than 40 per cent of allies demand.
Indians Win Game With Score of 3 to 2
In a 12-inning contest at Haskel field yesterday afternoon, the Indians emerged victorious over the Drake nine by a score of 3 to 2. The game was a pitcher's battle, and was tied from the seventh inning and ended with a win for the Lawn dancers, and Goode pitched a masterful game for the visitors.
Since Drake played Haskell last year, it is a coincidence that the game went to extra innings for a count of 3 to 2. The Jayhawk nine will meet the Bulldog at Des Moines the middle of May, and from yesterday's showing will have a good battle on their hands,

New York, April 27.—"The nation will become like Roosevelt by thinking of him," says Calvin Coolidge in a telegram received by the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial Association of I East 57th Street, New York, where he thinks by what is does," continues Mr. Coolidge, "and here lies the importance of the activities of memorial associations. In order that we may have not one Roosevelt but a nation of Roosevelts inspired by his ideals. We must help by his resolutions, I wish your patriotic efforts the success they so rich deserve."

It is intended thus to interpret Roosevelt for the young, and fix in their minds his principles of patriotic citizenship. For the completion of Roosevelt House $150,000 must still be
Seek Candidates For Research Fellowship
Wary Gargoyles Sit In Silent Reverie
Ye laoyal son of Kansas dost thou know that "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk, K. U, Kansas" is heralded every day in the year and every hour of the day and all kinds of weather by the animals decorating Dyche Museum?
How many students know what the animals say that are standing guard over the windows of the Museum? Start at the southwest corner of the Museum and walk east to the corner. Then look up and you will see the first fuselabet a crest on his breast that has a very interesting inscription on it, he is left and gaze toward the sky and you will have more animals of antiquity that have the honor of carrying a shield.
The Women's Educational and Industrial union of Boston is desirous of belonging suitable candidates for fellowships in its research department. Good health, an agreeable manner of meeting people, capacity to work and ability to write good English, are the qualifications which it desires in the candidates.
No doubt these animals crowed or gave vent to their feelings in some way when the Stadium-Union drive went over in Kansas City last week. All of them look rather chesty, sedate and worldly wise for latter-day students, who differentiate student pass and repass for years; consequently they have acquired an immense amount of knowledge that is seldom displayed by these auquioridipteriapods.
Successful candidates usually have had a year or more of post-graduate training or experience.

JOY INFATUATION ABNORMAL
Mrs. Sisson Advises Girls Studying Neighborhood Work
"A girl who can find real enjoyment in the company of other girls without the boy element present, and who is yet ready at any time to include boys in her good time with them for her future," said Mrs. L. E. Sisson Monday afternoon to twelve girls who attended, at her home, the second meeting of the Eight Weeks Club, an organization recently formed for girls for neighborhood work in their home towns during the summer months.
The two requisites for absolute happiness were given by Mrs. Sisson as the "desire" to serve, and the "opportunity" to serve. As a special part of their work among girls this summer she urged the twelve to bring about a higher sympathy between daughters and their mothers.
"The abnormal girl, the one who is said to be 'crazy after the boys', is almost always the one who has too much time on her hands. Leafing into an apartment she thinks wander along mishealhy lines," said Mrs. Sisson.
"Exalt the mother," said Mrs. Sisson, "for a true bond between mother and daughter is that love for her home and ideals when they are forgotten."

EXEMPTION PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO SENATE
University Solons Requested to Take Action at Next Meeting, May 1
REQUEST TO CHANCELLOR
Busy Time and A and B Grades Basis or Appeal in Communication
Request was made today of the University Senate that action be taken to exempt seniors with grades of As and Ba from final examinations, it was announcement today by John Bunn, president of the senior class.
Seniors with As and Ba are justified in asking to be exempted from the funds, the letter says in subheadings 4 and 5. The very busy occupied at commencement time, and during the two or three weeks previous, even without quizzes, and those who have made such commissions, are justified in asking for exemption."
A letter turned over to the Chancellor today was signed by all the class officers. It was the result of a motion passed unanimously by the University Senate next meeting of the University Senate is scheduled for May 1, it is said.
If the University Senate fails to take the action exempting the more scholastic seniors from finals, the faculty must give all the finals. The action has been taken as a matter of course for several years, but opposition developed last fall, in the case of those seniors who were to be graduated at the end of the first semester. These seniors will be denied录取. The application only to the one semester, and the seniors who are to be graduated in June are anxiously awaiting the action of the Senate for this semester.
