Seniors' War Records Wanted for Directory
Questionnaires are being sent to all the seniors asking for the following information: Name, Lawrence address, permanent address, where should the Graduate Magazine be sent, whether the person was in military service, his expected occupation, and any news or comment he may wish to make. Alfred Hill, Alumnum secretary, said they are particularly anxious for the military information. There will be a memorial directory which will give the names of all persons who served in the war, and the names and records of those who lost their lives. There were 119 men, and 2 women. Their pictures now hang in Fraser Hall. This will serve both as a memorial and as a permanent record of those who made the supreme sacrifice. Professor M. W. Sterling has charge of this section. One copy has already been made and is being used in Kansas City in the memorial campaign.
ACCEPT AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
In the election Thursday, April 7, the Associated Men of the University voted by a large majority to accept the two amendments to the constitution which were submitted for their approval at that time.
Large Majority Voted for "Pharmic" and "Advisory Assembly Bills
One of these amendments was a mere matter of form, and provided that on account of the fact that the pharmacic course is only a two year course, their representative to the council should only attend one school, or in the case instead of three, all the representatives from the other schools.
The second amendment was the clause which gives the Men's Advisory Assembly the power of passing on legislation after the Men's Supervisory committee has done so. This amendment gives the Assembly power to veto over the Council's action in regard to the regulations which apply to the student body, and which a action is taken within fourteen days after the Council's action.

Consideration of Tariff Matters To Be First Subject for

VAST PROGRAM FACES NEW TARIFF CONGRES!
Special Session Called Today to Deal With Host of Problems
'EMERGENCY' TARIFF ISSUE
Complete Revision of Import and Tax Laws Also Big
Tasks
Washington, April 11—The "Tarif
Congress," as the special session of
the 67th congress is being called
by President Harding, the summons
of President Harding.
As the name indicates, it is expected to devote much of its time to taric revision, both temporary and permanent. Along with that is to go tax law revision, and in addition, a third big legislative task which may be undertaken is the enactment of a soldier bonus hill.
Many other domestic issues are to come before the session, which, many members expect, will be so crowded with important business that it will merge into the regular session next December. The two houses met to day under unusually favorable auspices for the majority party. President Harding's program, expected to be outlined in a message to the two houses today or tomorrow, can be put through intuitively; all of the Republicans in congress, for they have a clear working margin of 100 in the house and 22 in the senate, enough to render the democratic minority helpless.
Here is how the program lines up in advance of Handing's message, which, it is expected, will limit the legislative agenda to the most important domestic subjects, plus ratification of the Colombian treaty.
Enactment of a temporary or "emergency" tariff, for the benefit of American agricultural interests. Passage of an anti-dumping bill to protect American manufacturing interests.
Revision of the tax laws, with par
cular attention to the so-called war
taxes, including elimination, if possi-
ble, of the excess profits tax, and
substitution for it of one or more form
of the income tax schedules.
Enactment of a new permanent tariff in place of the Underwood-Slimson law, with schedules as high on Dale's Parks Page Aid Rich and Dingley laws.
Enactment of a soldier bonus law, providing for a number of kinds of adjusted compensation to ex-service men, including cash payments, insurance, land grants, homeownership, revenue legislation to provide the money, although the plan is to defer operation of the law for some time. Passage of laws reorganizing certain government activities, among which may be the combination of various contracts an reduction of personnel.
Consideration of the transportation problem, with probable amendment of the Transportation act of 1920.
representative speaker of the House of Representatives over a Claune Chefite of North Carolina a Democrat. The vote was 208 to 122. "Uncle Joe" Cannon administered the oath of office to Gilbert.
Several hundred bills were introduced in the House today. An emergency tariff bill was introduced by Representative Young of North Dakota. It carried the same protective rates on wheat, wool and other agricultural products as the measure of the last session.
Representative Wood of Ohio,
chairman of the house appropriations
committee, presented a budget bill
which is a reform being supported
by the administration. Other bills
include the immigration bill in the
form vetoed by Wilson and a soldier's' bonus bill.
The new president faces his first real test as a leader with the assembled of the extra session of congress. He practically finished the revision of his message today and expected to send it. He gave a fine humour. He will read it in person at the joint session tomorrow.
