VIOLENCE WILL NOT SAVE IRISH CAUSE
King George Says Force Will Never Gain Irish Goal
PLAN TRADE WITH RUSSIA
Unemployment and Railroad Questions Confront Parliament
London, Feb, 15—"Irish self-government cannot be obtained through violence," King George declared today in convoking Parliament.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSA S, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY FEBRUARY 15, 1921.
"The situation in Ireland causes me distress," said the king in his speech from the throne. "A misguided section of the Irish people persist in resorting to methods of violence with the object of establishing an Irish self-government in Irish unity or自我-government can be obtained by these means."
The king announced that the government will attempt to cope with unemployment through use of "employment insurance." "Bills for the reorganization of the British railway for the protection of essential industries against unfair competition and imposting fees," comments on the report, will be introduced," he said. He declared that he hoped "negotiations for a trade agreement with Russia would be brought to a successful conclusion."

Bombers in Dublin
Dublin, Feb. 15.—An unsuccessful attempt was made to bomb Dublin City Hall last night. The building is occupied by government troops. The explosive was hurled from an acre to a building at high speed. No damage was inflicted but resulted in a renewed search for hidden munitions.
Whether A, B, C, or D That Is The Question
Eyes full of hope—beting heart— "How many a' do I draw?" That is the attitude of the patient waiters in the shaky line leading to the window of the Registrar's o.c.e.
There are some who feign nonchance. They talk gaily and keep their eyes from the window until their moment comes, but a skilled reader of human hearts can see that in each breast there glows an optimistic feeling that there will be one A at least!
“Oh,” shrulls one startled voice, we have to tell what we took? They surely don't expect me to remember what I took last semester.
"Philosophy, please," says one at the window in low, hush tones. Then the window and aside "Heavings! Only a D? and how I struggled in that class!"
Of course there are the fortunate few who draw twelve hours of A's and three of B's, but he it ever so much, there's no grade like your own.

Seismograph in Blake Fails to Register Shocks
The recent earthquake in South America have not been registered by the seismograph in Blake Hall*. In Tact, no shocks since last spring have been recorded. It is not known exactly what is wrong with the instrument, as the needle check of the minutes on the paper, but no shocks are recorded.
Against Loans
According to Professor Posey of the geology department it is planned to have the sesimagraph overhauled in the near future, but this has not been done yet because it is difficult to find anyone who can do the work.
"There is some talk," Professor Posey said, "of moving the sesimagraph from Blake Hall to Haworth Hall and placing it in some position where it will be readily seen by the instrument. The instrument will have to be placed on a foundation of rock or cement that reaches down to the solid rock in the earth, so that the disturbances around the building will not be recorded."
Washington, Feb. 15.—The Senate Judiciary committee today unanimously went on record against payment of any further money to foreign countries, even on commitments already made, until all the facts concerning the loans are known to congress.
OUTLINES WORK FOR THE EDDY MEETINGS
Cherrington Meets the Executive Committee of Workers to Discuss Plans
NOT TO BE A "REVIVAL"
Campaign Will be a Challenge Y. M. C. A. International Official Says.
The executive committee of the Sherwood Eddy campaign was met last night in Myers Hall by Ben Cherrington, international secretary of the campaign. The work for covering the campus was proposed by Paul Holland, chairman of the committee. A suggestion of the benefit to be derived from the coming campaign was given by Mr. Cherwick to raise his praise of the plan of Mr. Holland.
In the outline of work, Mr. Holland provides for the looking after of the various organizations of the sub-workers and sub-workers under them. These leaders are interested in boosting the campaign and are responsible for getting the people
the organized houses for girls. Edgar P. Shelton is looking after the fraternities, William Griffith the boarding clubs and local fraternities, and John Walsted has the professional fraternities. Frank Stacey and Leona Baumgartner make up the boarding club of faculty members at fraternities and boarding clubs about the coming campaign. In each fraternity, sorority, etc., there is one member who is delegated to keep the organization informed of activities and in turn report to the group leader.
and for talking up the different phases. Miss Lucile Rarig has charge of the sororities, and Mary Olsen,
Ellen Nolan, c'24, spent Saturday and Sunday visiting in Kansas City, Mo.
The efficiency and clear-cutness of the plan of Mr. Holland was praised by Mr. Cherrington who spoke of the success of the plan. Other challenges in a business of this sort.
"Ihowever, it is more dynamics than mechanics that are needed for the success of the meeting itself," he said, "and also a realization of the great importance of providing present time. American college students are the ones who are best prepared to serve these needs and therefore it is of vital importance for them to realize the value of the Christian mission in the employment of the new type of citizen."
Mr. Cherrington spoke especially concerning the erroneous impression of the nature of Mr. Eddy's talk which has been gained. He says answer to that question is "revelation" meeting and in no instance will there be a call to "hit the trail." The talks are a series of inspiring lectures on the moral and social issues of today, their solution and their relation to good citizenship. The word one to be used in designing the general tone of these meetings.
"It is indied a challenge, a challenge of the Christian spirit in men's hearts against the forces of materialism," finished Mr. Cherrington.

The game will be between Kansas will capture forty points and the Aggies will capture an equal number in the ten events that are scheduled. Thus the relay race will be left as the deciding factor of the meet. "Of course the breaks of the game are the most important," Schlademann, "but my men are all in excellent condition and the meet will probably go just about as it is doped." It promises to be a fight from the start to the finish, and if the breaks are even we stand a good chance to win.

They are guarded more carefully and quartered even more sumptuously than the white elephants of Siam and the price they will bring is determined almost entirely by the amount the rajas can gather together.
ENGINEERS PLAN BIG ANNUAL CELEBRATION
Pageant or Parade to be Feature of Day; Also Stationary Exhibit
BANQUET ON EVE OF DAY
prominent Engineer Will Speal
—Date Set Between April
15 and 20
At a meeting of the heads of the various engineering departments and student committees held in the office of Dean P. F., Walker at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, plans for Engineers' Day, which is to be held some time between April 15 and 20, were discussed.
It was decided that the annual Engineers' Banquet, which has formerly been held on the evening preceding Engineers' Day, will be given on the evening of the day. It was explained that this change was merely for the convenience of the alumni who wish to attend the banquet. In past years, many of the alumni have missed the banquet and are welcome to come Lawrence twelve hours earlier than would otherwise have been necessary.
Plans for the pageant or parade were discussed, but nothing definite was decided upon. There seem to be a great number and variety of ideas for the pageant, and an order to get these ideas to a more concrete basis it was thought that a special committee was necessary. Arnold Bell, president of the School of Engineering, will be chairman of this committee, and Prof. G. C. Williams, associate professor of engineering the faculty members. Each department in Marvin Hall will furnish at least one member to this committee. The pageant, parade, or whatever is decided upon, is to b e the most spectacular part of Engineers' Day, and the next committee will soon decide upon some definite form for this feature.
"That there will be some sort of parade," said Dean Walker, "is practically assured, but we have not entirely given up the job of describing an exhibit. Whattever form this event takes, it is certain that it is to have some real meaning—a portrayal of the development of engineering as a profession—a representation of the uses of enlistment today or something of the kind."
It is probable that Engineers' Day will occur in the middle of the week. The exact date is to be left to the convenience of the principal speaker. Some prominent engineer is to be obeyed if he does not arrive on the date it is hoped that there will be more opportunity of having some really great man.
AFRICA LIKES BRITISH RULE
Professor Chubb Believes Irish Could Profit by Example
The recent South African election in which the people were given an opportunity to voice their opinion as to the form of government or chose to continue the liberal form given by England brings out what should be an important lesson to Ireland, according to political science, the department of political science.
Ireland continues to fail by violence in the demand of a separate form of government, while in South Africa, where there is perhaps more reason for this separatism, great Britain has established such a populist and authoritarian regime that to put the actual test of the ballot the people chose to have it continued.
"The result is a splendid vindication of the wise policy of the British in giving the Boers full equality in power." This was not the case. "The result is the return of General Smuts, of the South African party, to the House of Assembly from the Pretoria district which means that General Smuts will, in all probability, again be the leader of the majority in the House." With it the office of Prime Minister.
"The Union of South Africa has a unitary instead of a multiple or federal form of government. The two most recent experiments in this field are the South African Union and the United States, with both being watched by political scientists as interesting experiments in the field of government."
An European Relief Campaign is in progress at the University of Washington.
Engineers and Laws Really Not Enemies
That the time-worn emmity between Marvin Hill and Green Hall may not be as bad as some think is shown by the following opinion taken from the recent issue of The Kansas Engineer. "The Engineer-Law Rivalry is a perplexing subject, not only the body of students, at least, and especially to the Engineers and Laws. It should be, for as Uncle Jimmy Green often told his boys, 'It shows the peep of the only two schools of the whole University which can retain enough peep for a continuous rivalry.' Now "pup" must be registered about every so often in a bunch of red-blooded young Americans and satisfied with their success, but must muss up a few Laws. Not that we don't respect the laws! We do so to the extent that could we expected from an Engineer for anyone following such a profession, but we do feel that this commonly smoldering rivalry in the two schools is just as much a part of our life as are our studies. True, our actions and attitude toward each other are hard to measure, and sometimes hard feelings between some of the most radical, and even rarely a little rough-house; but then nothing more can be hoped for from a crowd of eight hundred or one thousand people anywhere. I know that the Laws with their rivalry toward us make K. U, seem just a little bigger and bet-ter than it would if other conditions existed."
Dramatic Club Will Spare No Pains in Next Production
NEW SCENERY FOR PLAY
Over $200 worth of new scenery has been purchased from the Kansas City Scenic Company by Professor MacMurry, to be used in the next production of the Dramatic Club. "The Importance of Being Earnest," in central garden set, complete, where many of the major scenes are staged.
"The Dramatic Club is one organization on the bill that spares no pain or money in making its plays first class presentations in every participtrate. It benefits the benefit of universities layovers by the same audience it maintains the standard of popula prices for it's patrons." Professe MacMurray said this morning, "The Importance of Being Earnest," no doubt be one of the brightest an elite acted plays ever staged by the Dramatic Club, should be well attended, the wid reputation of the author being strong attraction."

SIXTEEN MEN ARE SUSPENDED
Unauthorized Party at Midland Results in Drastic Discipline Measures by Chancellor Lindley
NO NAMES ANNOUNCED
Charged that Dance Took Place on Night the Dance Regulations Went Into Effect
The Chancellor, in his statement, declares that intoxicating liquor was in evidence, and that a number of those present were intoxicated. "Conduct," he said, "on the part of a few, was very disregulated."
One of the most drastic disciplinary measures in the recent history of the University was taken today when the suspension of sixteen men students, alleged to have participated in an unauthorized dance at Midland on February 5, was announced by Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
The names of the sixteen men who were suspended will not be made public for the present, according to the Chancellor's announcement, which read: "Realizing that there are many degrees in the guilt which attaches to these men, it seems best not to give nubility to their names at this time."
There have been rumors of the suspension of the alleged offenders in the undercurrent of University conversation for the year last week, but no definite announcement or information from reliable sources was available until the Chancellor issued the following statement today noon;
"On Saturday evening, February 5 occurred an unauthorized dance at Midland about four miles north of Lawrence. At this dance a considerable number of University people were present as well as some homeless women from Lawrence, and from other surrounding places, Intoxicating liquor was in evidence and a number of those present were strongly under its influence. Conduct on the part of a few was very grazefuel. "The University has felt keenly the necessity for placing the responsibility for this play. In the first place, because the students dancing were being put into effect that night, and the breach of University regulations is all the more raring on that account.
"Second. It has been the policy of the present administration to rely upon the loyalty and fair dealing of the organizations of students in the University. They have been called upon to cooperate in locating the guilt,
"Third. Sixteen men students of the University and eleven women students of the University have acclaimed the party. All of the sixteen men after having opportunity to confer and decide on their line of action with reference to establishing the guilt of those who were responsible, asserting that they did not receive an invitation; that he did not pay anybody money to cover the expense of the party; that he did not know who was responsible for planning the party, and that he did not receive any information for having the alcoholic drinks at the party.
"Fourth. In the light of all these considerations, the sixteen men have been suspended from the University until further notice, pending discovery of the persons who were responsible for the party.
"Fifth. Realizing that there are many degrees in the guilt which attaches to these men, it seems best not to give publicity to their names at this

E. H. LINDLEY,
Chancellor."
