EMPLOYMENT NEEDED BY MANY STUDENTS
Blodgett Says Men Inquire for Jobs Every Day at Y, M. C. A.
NUMBER 96.
SHOULD FILE NAMES NOW
Positions Can Be Secured "B Digging Around," Says "Y"Secretary
That the present economic depression throughout the country has found its way to Mount Oread is evidenced by a statement of Warren Bledgett, secretary of the University, Y. M. C. A. in, which he says that the university is more pressing University students are more pressing that it has been for some time.
Many withdrawn from school have no doubt been caused entirely by financial difficulties, and particularly at the State Agricultural College at Manhattan, where the large majority of farmers own their homes, have there been large numbers go home on account of financial situations. The low price of farm products and the loss incurred by many farmers in the production of last year's crops have been attributed to an overexpression in the agricultural industry.
The number of students who are earning all or part of their expenses in the University at the present time is perhaps as great or greater than at any other period in the institution's history. The Student Loan Fund of which Registrar George O. Foster has charge, is being used extensively, but this is not sufficient to prevent large numbers of withdrawals.
"The need of work among University students is now more pressuring than it has been for some time," said Bloddget today. "Every day many students are forced to work or jobs from which to pay their living expenses. Just last week a senior was placed in a permanent job who otherwise would be compelled to withhold."
It is a shame that students should not be helped out in their education to keep them in school. By digging around, many jobs of all kinds can be found for students who must have them. A big endeavor ought to be given this urgent request by people of the Hill and town.
"All students who have not filed their names since the beginning of this semester for employment should do so at the Y. M. office now in order to furnish complete information for the work."
“HARDING POLICY” PROBABLE
President-elect Changes Mind Since Pan-American Tour
Washington, Feb. 16—The foreign policy of the new administration will be destined a "Harding Policy" as that of the present administration is that of a "Whom policy," said senators in a conference in Florida today.
The next president has made up his mind about the line he will put out, remarking also that his mental attitude for policies is much different today than it was when in Washington he seemed so open-hearted. He seemed not to have settled on any-think definite, according to the opinion of Senator Rose.
Returning senators have offered a standing bet, with no papers as yet, that Hoover will be in the cabin at the "portfolio" in the unfulfilled list.
Harding asserted that he was quite certain that action on the peace treaty with Germany, by special session of Congress, would be extended next week after his accession to office.
The Japanese question has been brought to Harding's attention in detail. Harding is not worrying about it be indicated to callers.

You will never be a success as an advertising man unless you put your brains into the work you are following."

WOMEN HEAR SCHWEGLER
Education Professor Talks on Religion at Y. W. Luncheon
Putting one's self in harmony with the inflexible laws of the universe is the secret of all great lives, according to Professor Schwegler of the School of Education, who spoke to women of the University at the Y. W. C. A luncheon this noon. "Fundamentals of Christian Living" is the subject of a series of talks Professor Schwegler is giving at the lunches each week.
Speaking of the conceptions that people form of the Great Deity, he said: "God must not be thought of in terms of people, but as the great dynamic constructive agency that moves controls, and dominates all the universe. We should think of God as embbling and cursing of Air, of God as Order operating in limitless, inflexible and incorrigible aws."
Professor Schwegler emphasized this point when he finished his talk by saying that "Forces that fail to put themselves in harmony with the great dominant forces which rule the universe are surely and inevitably unshrugged. The great powers powerful that have put themselves in harmony with the great, surging fountain of power which is everywhere about them."
Doctor Lawson Speaks On Religious Campaigr
Dr Lawson, who has been associated with the University of Kansas for the past six years, considers this to be one of the most important events that has ever taken place here. He said that its chief importance is not in making people say that they will do this or not do that, but that real value lies in its being a thought provocative campaign, which will make them think about the main issues of life and a worth while life.
Dr. P.B Lawson, Professor of Entrnomy, spoke about the importance of the coming religious campaign at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C.A. held Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Ted Guyer, c'24, has withdrawn from the University and returned to his home at Stafford.
SOLONS ARE TO PASS ON DORM BILL TODAY
the $1,000,000 Dormitory Meas ure is Up for Senate's Ratification
LUB WOMEN IN TOPEKA
Bill Was Greeted Favorably by Senate Sitting as a Whole Yesterday
Topeka, Feb. 18—The Kansas State Senate was expected to pass today on the bill providing for a $1,000,000 appropriation for the state educational institutions. Many prominent women were here today to lobby for the bill.
"The bill providing $1,000,000 for an appropriation for dormitories for girls was greeted favorably by the Senate sitting as a whole yesterday, and was passed unanimously by the State Affairs Committee of the House," Miss Margaret Lynn said today. "However, the Judiciary Committee of the House has not passed upon it yet."
Miss Lynn is state publicity manager of the dormitory committee of the Kansas Women's Council.
This bill has probably a larger number of lobbyists than any other bill ever introduced by the state legislature. The Kansas Council of Women, the Federation of Women's Clubs and the Collegiate Alumnus have legislative committees at work on the project. The Dormitory Bill is the only one being backed by a whole. It is receiving the active support of the women members of the House, Mrs Ia Walker, of Norton, Mrs. Minnie Minnick, of Summer, and Miss Nellie Cline of Pawnee.
The bill, as introduced, asked for a bond issue of $1,000,000. This amount is to be divided among the state institutions of learning approximately in proportion to the year-round enrollment of women at the University will receive $800,000 if the bill is passed as it stands.

Kansas City Grain Man Also Defined Function of Grain Organizations
HARGIS IN A DEFENSE OF BOARDS OF TRADE
OVERPRODUCTION A BOGEY
Too Much Corn Has Caused Drop in Price, Speaker
"Boards of trade are not in business for their health."
Says
This was admitted last night by Ben L. Hargis, president of the Kauai Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. Wendy dress at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce rooms to members of the University economics fraternity, Pi Sigma Delta, and members of the
Mr. Harrings' discussion, the subject of which was announced as "Boards of Trade vs. Public Welfare," consisted to a great extent of a defense of boards of trade against the allegations, official and otherwise, that have been hurled at them, to the effect that their participation in and the manipulation of green laws had hardly touched the ground and commons of the fundamental commodities.
The purpose for which the boards exist was defined as being for the facilitation of exchange, and *for the handsling of crops of the country*.
"But," the speaker added. "the organization is for the benefit of ourselves, primarily."
Mr. Harris stated that the popular antitism towards boards of trade is caused by the lack of a clear understanding of the true functions of the organizations, and that he was making an effort to present to the people a picture of the boards in their true light.
He stated that he did not believe that a small group of operators could permanently deflect the price of grain commodities from their natural course, but admitted that such a group might do so temporarily. The unprecedented drop in corn, due to lower crop capacity to haye of Kansas farmers and which has necessitated the withdrawal of many students from the state educational institutions, was explained by Mr. Harris as being due to overproduction. The speaker did not dwell extensively on the subject of corn. He refused to make any speculation as to the probable trend in *he*
He refused to make any speculation as to the probable trend in the price of wheat, saying, "I am not a nuculator."
Mr. Hargis, in an address, before university students Tuesday afternoon, gave an instructive discussion of the way the manner in which they function.
Mr. Hargis, as might be presumed,
favors the Board of Trade idea, and
concerning its status said:
"The morale of the grain exchanges is as high as any similar organization, in this country. The morale of the grain exchanges is thoroughly looked up. Mr. Hoover in the House agricultural committee said that it was his belief that the consumer would be better off if all products were quoted on the futures market."
Pi Sierna Delta, of which Flock Ring is president, arranged for the coming of Mr Harcis to the University. He will speak on the number of speakers who will come to the University this semester under the auspices of the fraternity.

GIVES UNIVERSITY A PICTURE
mrs. Thayer Auds Painting to
K. U. Collection
Mrs. W. B. Thayer has added a new and wonderful painting to the collection which she has already given to the University. It is if landscape in oils by Earnest Lawson, one of the greatest landscape painters of the 19th century. It is painted on the painting, and it is a landscape of the city of Sevovia, Spain.
The picture is beautiful in color and wonderful as to composition, according to those who have seen the painting. In commenting upon it, Mr. Bihani said that Ariban Bihani in the current issue of "Tf International Studio," says:
"Mr. Lawson is more than a colorist. He i s a stylist with a sense of form as real as his sense of color. His compositions are intellectual, efforts that succeed. His work has individuality charm and self-importance in form and their dependence upon each other. Mr. Lawson's work is distinctive."
An interesting feature of the work of Mr. Lawson and other artists of his school is that the paint is not put on with a brush. The wooden end of the brush and a palette knife are used instead.
The painting is now hanging in the east wing of the Administration Building on the third floor.
Mrs. Thayer suggested that all who might be interested go and see the picture, for it not only was painted by one of the great land-scape art artists, but also will give us the observe an idea as to appearance of the so-called "modern art."
