K. U. County Clubs, busy this week entertaining high school tournament visitors, plan activities for next week in preparing for the Easter vacation.
The period from April 24 to April 29 gives the best possible opportunity for present K. U. students to be admitted to our colleges and students. County organizations are the agricultural college and other Kansas schools are busier with publicity now than they were before the college received all of the awards received by the Alumni office.
"This is a fine opportunity for K.U. students to take advantage of the general good feeling toward the University," Alfred Hill, alumni secretary, said today. "Chancellor LlLnLD has made a marked impression wherever he has spoken, and University publicity is more noticeable in Kansas news media than in the state." Education division is teaching more communities and there are more than a score of alumn organizations in the state."
The Daily Kansan will pring reports of plans of county clubs during the coming week.
During the Easter holidays a particularly effective way for K. U., students to promote the interests of their school will be the conducting of high school chapels, as practically all high schools will be in session while students are at home. The Daily Kansas will pring re-

The possibility of Kansas athletes upsetting the above dope occurs in the half mile, the mile and the relay. Dierking or Mediger may surprise Maxwell of the Tigers, and carry home a first in the 880-run. Patterson and Wilson may both take places in the mile, and thus secure

HARDING CONSIDERS LEAGUE OF NATIONS
The President Conters With the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
TVIANI WILL BE HERE
French Ex-Premier Believed to Favor Elimination of Article X
Washington, March 18. - President Harding has discussed with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans to revise the League of Nations covenant so as to permit the entry of the United States, but no other country will to the plan that will be adopted has signed it. He learned authoritatively here today.
The President has received no definite information concerning the policy of Rene Viviani, former French premier, but it is understood that discussed at considerable length the question of entering the League.
More than Article X will have to be eliminated from the covenant before the Harding administration will take over America a party to it, it was asked on Monday. The statement was made in reply to word from Paris that Viviani, soon to come to America, will be prepared to suggest that America become a member of the League on the basis of the elimination of the Article.
At the same time, it is believed that negotiations that are being carried on are considered a "feeder," the real beginning of the negotiations to bring the country into the League, but only the beginning.
Washington, March 18- President Harding was rounding out his first two weeks in office today and the strain is showing on the President's personal appearance. The lines under his eyes are deeper than they were on Inauguration Day. His face has lost some of the glow it had when he returned from Florida. The team's temporary fatigue, for the President's health, in spite of the fact that he spends more than twice the time "on the job" than any of the other government employees.
Diplomatic appointments are giving Harding considerable concern Reports predicted that Walter F. Brown, of Toledo, is being considered for one of the chief posts at Tokio. President Colleen, of George Washington University, is an active candidate for Rome, and he appears to be very favorable consideration. Henry L. Wilson has been urged for this post. There was no mention at the White House that Ira Herrick would be sent to France, and General Pershing's name continued to be in speculation for this post.

WORKERS CHANGE DAY FOR ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Tournament Interferred With
Plans for Drive
Today
MONDAY 'CHALLENGE DATE'
Reports from Two Workers in
Show An Average of
815.00
The first subscription reaching the office of Prof. W. J. Baugartner, chairman of the Stadium-Union Drive was for $100 by a new student who came to work in the building. Two workers turned in reports this morning, one bringing in subscriptions from four of the five men on his list with a total of f180 and the fifth man is out of town and to be seen. She returned with two subscriptions from three men with a total of $120. One subscription turned in this morning was made by an elderly lady who walked up to the booth at the west entrance to Fraser Hall and handed her a gift card. She was extremely poor but she had the spirit, she wanted to do her bit.
Other reports were not yet in at noon and the toal subscriptions to date has not been determined. Many duplicates have been received which are practically new subscriptions as most of them had been lost.
It is very necessary that everyone who has subscribed wear their buttons on Monday and Tuesday as the committee will on those days, especially before games against the campaign on the Hill. Today was to be "challengeing day" but on account of the divided interest, caused by the basketball games, it was put off until Monday. On that day the women workers will divide into bodies for both sides and not to the campus to challenge anyone who does not have a "K. S. U." button.
"The idea of the button has a twofold purpose," said Professor Baumgartner this morning. "One is that the newspaper may be identified. The students who were checking up on the old list. Lists of all subscribers are kept at the booths where the buttons are passed-out and the students whose cards were lost or were not turned in will be discovered and not on the list. The results of the check up are shown by an incident which happened this morning," said Mr. Baumgartner. "A man asked me for his button and after I had given it to November he pleaded made in November were still the suspects, but they most certainly were, he took two out of his pocket that were not turned in during the previous drive. These are just as good now as them but it shows one of the causes for them is that of those who say they have subscribed but have no note at headquarters."
