“GET EXPERIENCE”--BENEKER
Painter Says It Makes Schooling Valuable
"Experience is our only very valuable teacher," says Gerrit A. Bonzek in a conservation before his lecture given in Fraser Hall yesterday. "All schooling amounts to very little if you have no experience. This applies specifically to art. Great money spend in the eminent school of experience."
Mr. Bencker has been working on an industrial magazine for an eastern steel factory. However, it is his design that Mr. Bencker that established his reputation.
Being a philosopher and dreamer, Benedeker paints pictures which portray the souls of men rather than the merely superficial. "I trust working men and know they are worthy of it," said as he tanned his eyes and acceded, greeted him in his pleasant manner. "Oh yes, I've spent many summers in Iowa."

FLONZALEYS UPHOLD ENVIABLE REPUTATION
World-Famous Quartet Please
Appreciative Audience in
Gymnasium Last Night
Never did a world-famous musical organization uphold its enviable reputation better than did the Flonzaley
String Quartet in its concert last night in Rincono, Gymnasium, according to numerous critics and the appreciative audience in general.
The ensemble work of the four musicians made up of a first and second violin, viola and cello, was perfect. There were no solos on the program other than parts included in the sette tions, which were three in number.
The first group selection, the Quar-
tet in G. Major by Mozart, served as
an excellent vehicle for the display of
differences of theme and action,
using a set of three staged rapid legate of the Menuetto and the virilous airline of the Allegro molto
The second selection, consisting of two Indian sketches by Charles T. Griffes, was especially well-liked by the German criticistic Indian melody of the high-pitched fife and sonorous tom-tom was admirably presented, while in the Glocose the drum-like beat of the two prominent pronounced in effective staccato.
Especially pleasing in the last number, Quartet in E. minor by ibnetana, were the Large sostenuto and the final Vivace movement. The beats strains of the first and second iolins, with the unusual notes of the more uncommon viola, and the deep nullness and sonorous depth of theello made all the numbers a deight.
Two encores were given by the quartet in response to long continued applause.
Programs of the evening announced the next number r of the Concert Course on April 21, when Emilio de la Fuente, famous harpist, will give a recital.

ABDICATED IN FAVOR OF FORMER EMPEROR
Admiral Horthy, Hungarian Regent, Leaves Throne to Old Ruler
(LLIES WARN HUNGARY
'Disasterous Consequences'
Threatened If Restoration
to Throne Takes Place
Paris, April 1-Admiral Horby, venerous of Hungary, has abdicated in favor of Former Emperor Charles according to Budapest dispatches received here today. Charles has announced an advance on Budapest, with forces under the command of General Lechar.
Former Emperor Charles army is expected to reach Budapest tonight. The garrison is reported to be ready to go over without resistance.
Count Julius Andrassy, former premier, is said to have been named president of the council of ministers to conduct the government until Charles has formally resumed the throne.
The above report was received here after a denial of the report that Northy had resigned.
Czechs-Lovakis, Juge-Slavia and Romania are concentrating forces on the border and the three governments declared an immediate advance would be made if Charles took the throne. The three are relying on the co-operation of Italy, with whom they have made former agreements.
The progress of the royalist troop through West Hungary has brought great additions to Charles' forces. All occupants of the garrisons along the way flocked to the colors of the former emperor and the advance of Lohar's army toward Budapest seemed to be the signal for great rejoicing. The Czecho-Slovakian minister departed hurriedly from Pécs to report the conference of Horthy and royalist ambassadors and assist his governor in mobilizing to carry out the threat of war in case Charles renewed the throne.
Allies today warned Hungary that "disasterous consequences" will result if Charles is restored to the throne, as was dispelled by an ambassador.
Van's Attire Works In April Fool's Joke
Today, the first of April, was a very busy day for Van, Keeper of the House of Animals. With being bethaled by her friends and being visited on having a look at the
pen containing the ghosts of the departed dumb animals which Van is supposed to have open for inspection annually on the first of April, and with the business of three funerals to take care of, the supervisor of animals was indeed a busy man this Ariel Fool's Day.
And then Van invented a new joke this year, and took some more time. In place of the usual faded blue shirt, collar attached, the superintendent of the University Zoo appeared this morning in a pure white shirt, gurpsipped with a linen collar and silver buckle against the background—now for the joke.
A senior medical student was the first to bite. "What are you celebrating, Van, with all that Sunday shirt" he asked.
At a meeting of the Associated Journalists which met yesterday afternoon in Room 10, Journalism Building at 3:30 o'clock, plans were made for the special "Cub" edition of the Kansas, "Walter Herron," president, presided. The following officers were elected:
The wise "Doc" congratulated the old man and then allowed that such an event ought to call for the cigars. "Oh, they're only kittens," drawled Van, and the "Medic" dropped his saw.
Said Van gruffy, "Well, we've got twins down to my house, and I'm just celebrating."

Birds' Teeth Aren't Unknown at Museum
Several days ago H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology, received a communication from a man who visited Mr. Martin to ask if Mr. Martin had bird teeth for sale.
"How that man living in a rural district knew that we had bird teeth is a mystery to me," said Mr. Martin. "There are only two museums in the world having fossil remains of birds' teeth. The Natural History Museum at Kansas University and the Yale University Museum.
The ten teeth and jaw bones of a fossil bird, which may be seen under a glass case in the south room of the museum, were used by Mr. Martin in Western Kansas in 1894. These teeth are triangular shaped and measure about a third of an inch long, fitting in recesses made for their reception in a grow out of a box.
Although there is no form of bird life extant having teeth, in the age of reptiles birds did have teeth. The bird whose fossils remain are held in the biology department where they were resembled a penguin and was a typical diver.

WAR POSTER ARTIST
LECTURES IN FRAREF
Must Live Among Industria Conditions to Paint Them
—Mr. Gerrit
Gerrit W. Baker signed the contract to paint covers for the magazine called the Hydraulic Press, he said in his lecture on "Art and Labor" given in Fresher Hall yesterday afternoon realizing what his employer did not, "that in order to study values and relations in this work he must go and live close beside the factory chimneys, putting materialism and idealism side by side, and entering into the funda-mental industrial life which he was to paint.
His Liberty Loan and War Drive Posters are familiar to all, especially the genial working man who with four loan buttons already into his pocket came into his pocket for the money to finish the last loan drive. These pictures were shown by lintern slides and about each picture was told the story of practical life was told.
"The chase of the butterfly of art is never ending for as soon as it is caught the dityn gossamer is rubber and the real art is lost," said Mr. Benckex.
An intense feeling of deep religion and love of nature permeated Mr. Beneker's lecture, the main theme of which showed a desire to demonstrate without question that the great Creator spirit has manifested itself since all time in nature and love of humanity.
He finished his lecture by saying that despite the general feeling to the contrary, the working man has a soul, heart, and feelings just as much as other men and that the only solution to the industrial problem is a realization of this fact by the owners and managers of the big corporations.

Early Assuming University
Name is Merely a Public
Subscription Dance
STUDENT GROUP PROTEST
Fraternities and Women's Organizations Endorse Statement Condemning Promoters
The first move against this affair was made by the Senior conference held yesterday, which included the executive council of the W. S. G. A., the presidents of the other organizational men's Forum, W. A. A., the members of Torch, senior women's honorary society, and the presidents of all organized houses. At this meeting the proposed舞 dance was thoroughly discussed from the standpoint of students at the University, as it had been advised as one of the liveliest dances to be given in Topoka this year.
The dance advertised through this part of the state as the "K. U. Toddle," to be given in Topeka tonight, has provoked the wrath of the student organizations of the University. The舞是 but a plain subscription dance and has nothing at all to do with K. U.
It was unanimously agreed by the women at the meeting yesterday afternoon that they disapproved the dance and would do all in their power to create sentiment against it, according to Grace Olsen, president of Torch.
It was reported that this dance was under the same management as the dance given at Topela during the Easter holidays, and which drew much notoriety on account of the discredited actions of the dancers.
“A resolution against it was un-
niamously passed and presented to
the Chancellor. Each woman press...
went back to her house and reported
the meeting, and the office sup-
ported the action,” said Miss Olsen.
The women indorsed the following statement:
"We, the representatives of the conference of women at the University of Kansas, do hereby go on record as being opposed to the dance advertised as the 'K, U. Todd', to be given in Topela the evening of April 13, when it takes place the party mixtures the spirit of K. U."
Fifteen of the sixteen fraternities of the University indorsed a similar statement, which was signed by representatives of each fraternity;
"We, the undersigned fraternities, deploying the fact that the name of the University of Kansas was brought into use advocating a dance at Topaka, Friday, April 1, did hereby go on record as being opposed to the name of Kansas University being undressed, unoriented, and further stand opposed to any of our members attending any such dance."
Helen Olen, president of the W. S. G. A., said, when discussing the matter following the meeting last evening: "I am sorry that such a situation has occurred and was planned or advertised as such. It is entirely contrary to our standards and not in keeping with the spirit of the University of Kansas. I am confident that this matter was approved of the real K. U. loyalty to approve of such an affair.
"I feel sure that the members of the Women's Athletic Association will co-operate with the University authorities in every way possible," was the comment of Jessie Martindale, president of the W. A. K.
"Anything that goes against the regulations of the University is not in keeping with the ideals and standards of the Y. W. C. A., and as an organization we are opposed to such thing," he said. He also bowed her head when interviewed on the subject.
