YAP AWARD TO JAPAN OVER PROTEST OF U.S.
League of Nations Allows Japan Mandate Over Island
HARDING'S POLICY SIMILAR
New Administration May Continue Present Japanese Foreign Policy
Paris, Feb. 24—The League of Nations Council today in effect decided to ignore the protest of the United States over the approval of the mandates by proceeding to the consideration of Class B mandate.
The United States made no specific protest against the class B mandate, but in a note to the Council,
Secretary of State Colby protested against action without consultation with America.
The Council this noon published the Colby note regarding the award allowing the Island of Yap to Japan, with hashold other correspondence.
The Council drafting a reply to Colby today included in it the suggestion that the protest should have been addressed to the Allied Supreme Council now meeting in London. It is expected to state that the League Council does not of the mandate while the Supreme Council does the actual awarding.
Officially, there was no comment that any individual delegates were inclined to the opinion that the United States had forfeited her right under the Versailles treaty by her formal withdrawal from association with the powers and her refusal to enter the League.
Washington, Feb. 24. —The Wilson protest against the Yap and Moeopatama mandates will be upheld by the Harding administration, according to indications in authoritative quarters today.
If Harding does otherwise he will do so against the advice of some of the leaders of his party, it was pointed out.
The opposition of Wilson to grant ing Japan a mandate over Yap it such a way that it can monopolize it as a cable station has been approved by Republican members of the Foreign Relations Committee.
The mandate for Mesopotamia the League of Nations has proposed to draft; Great Britain has been protected by this move on the ground that the American oil interests will be kepa equal with the British oil interests in Mesopotamia. This is basically a defence of the right of one of the strongest commercial interests in the United States.
Prisoners At Lansing Take Extension Work
Not all students in the University are on the hill. Due to the scope of the correspondence study department 'they are scattered throughout all parts of the state'. Many of these students are ex-service student members of our educational training department, others enrolled in the correspondence study are financially unable to attend the University. There are still others, who, having violated established law, are striving to surmount their handicaps and more better citizens of themselves than finished the term of their menity.
There are two students of the last class from the prison at Lansing enrolled in the correspondence study department—one in free hand mechanical drawing, the other in narration and description.
The first regular assignment sent to the student enrolled in narration and description was a written auto-document requesting that he be excused from this requirement, but when he learned that his paper would be read by none but the instructor he wrote a very interesting account of his boyhood.

"These pictures should be interesting to any one who can spare the time to so them," said Professor Iae. They should interest economics students more especially because they will exemplify large scale production and large industries better than we can explain them in class.

There has been considerable discussion among the departmental committees as to what form the "show feature" for the public should take About ten days ago a committee, o which Arnold Bell, president of the School of Engineering, is chairman was appointed to come to some sort of a decision about the exhibit o parade. At the meeting held thi week the committee decided that ther will be no stationary exhibit, and the departmental committees will b free to put their whole effort o parade. The departmental committees of Marri will furnish one or more floats The parade is to have the character o a pageant, and each Engineering de partment will represent the development of its type of engineering in the last thirty years.

A committee was appointed to interview Chancellor Linderley and learn whether or not he would be in favor of the plan. The sentiment of the council was expressed as feeling that both the University and the Agricultural College would be more successful in being given requests to work together than in opposition to each other. The council also discussed a plan which might be even better than having a K. U. rally in Teapek, that is, that of having both the Agricultural College and the University visit Teopek for a day and on a bip "pep" meeting in order to create interest among the legislature in favor of the state educational institutions. The rapid growth of the the change was also attempted and it was decided to obtain a nominate the large amount of people which have been turned.

Blake Hall Wireless Set Not In Use At Present
The wireless station in Blake Hall at the present time is not capable of receiving or sending messages, as the sending and receiving sets are not hooked up with the antennas. The only lead from the antennae is through a cable to the building and building more secure against possible lightning strike.
The station when in use has a receiving radius from 1500 to 2000 miles. This distance, while it does not compare with the high power stations on the coast, is considered too small to small an arc at no great light.
If enough experienced operators could be obtained, and if they had enough time available, it would be possible to keep this station hooked up all the time, and it would be a great source of news gathering that would be of interest to the entire University.
Stationes situated on the interior are always handled by the physical features of the land. High mountain ranges, great changes in temperature always have a weakening effect on the wireless waves.

Plan to Raise Funds for Construction is Changed After Harvey's Speech
The New Plan Would Directly Appropriate $500,000, Payable in Installments
OPPOSES ANY BOND ISSUE
The Dormitory Bill in the Kansas legislature, carrying appropriation provisions of $1,000,000 for the construction of dormitories for women at the state educational institutions, hits a bump in a hitherto smooth road.
Speaker Harvey took his stand on the grounds that local taxes are high because of the already large amount of city, township and county bonds while state taxes are low because the absence of state bond issues.
The bill had passed the Senate by a safe majority, and the outlook was bright. But when the companion bill in the House came up for consideration, the financial plan for raising the money was changed, after a series of W. Warren judges made a fight in opposition to the issuance of state bonds.
The bill as recommended for passage by the House committee of the whole provides for an appropriation of $600,000, one-half of which would be available in 1922 and the other half in 1923.
The bill as it came to the House from the Senate provided for a bond issue of $1,000,000, the proceeds to be appropriated as follows: Kansas University, $300,000; State Agricultural College, $225,000; Emporia University, $187,000; Hutchinson Normal, $187,000; Hays Normal, $100,000.
"Posterity will have its own problems to meet and its own buildings to build and pay for," Senator Harvey said.
Taylor of Wabunsee, Garvin of Stuffard, and Martin of Reno led the opposition to any plan to build dormitories at state educational institutions.
