how are they to survive the publication that furtive look?
HANOVER AND AULNE BANKS CLOSE DOORS

The advertisement was posted days later and will probably be ready for distribution next Monday.
Failures Will Not Affect State Guarantee Fund Says Wilson
Topeka, May 18- Two bank failures yesterday will not seriously affect the State Bank Guarantee fund, and will not affect the State bank commissioner said today.
The Hanover State Bank, which voluntarily closed its doors is not subject to the fund, and Wilson believed the loss of the Auline State bank will not exceed a few thousand dollars.
Several liabilities of stock holders including those of C. L. Johnson, cashier, it was believed will cover all the liabilities of misuse of $60,000. Wilson was in conference with the Hanover bank directors and stockholders today, losing of the Hanover bank was due to the failure of the institution to carry an overload of wheat loans for six months because the farmers could not get cars to ship their wheat. Reserves have no reserves of loans, it was stated.
Johnson, in an alleged confession once yesterday was said to have admitted that he spent $86,044.76
the Aulne bank funds to build up a stock farm. Labor and other high prices, he is said to have confessed, caused him to spend money on the project. It became too big for him and he "gave up" he said.

Spring Brings Out Summer Job Suckers
All victims suffering with the home-sick malady are rapidly recovering with the nearing of the summer vacation. The budding trees and the growing grass seem to call up from the depths of latent energies the devil wants to eat. The "would-bees" to go home and try out experiments on the home town paper
Because of the necessity on the part of many students to travel the extent of the campus numerous times each day they have developed the "twowheel-inst spirit." Thus about 80 percent of them line up together as if forming a comparity. If one happens to be passing near and catches a casual remark, if the group congregated is men, they will possibly hear, "what circuit are you?" If they are on the same line, that would put us together" for all summer". If the group is women it is usually a book agent proposition that is the theme of interest. The kind of proposition that is independent with one summer's work.
A few faithful ones intend to spend the hot summer days trumpeting Mount Everest. They seem to command the sympathy of those possessing the vacation spirit

JOURNALISTS TO HEAR NEW YORK PUBLISHEI
Jason Rogers Will Speak Before Students Friday Morning
Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York Globe, who was to have spoken before the department of journalism two weeks ago but was prevented from doing so by a death in his family, will give a general address before the department Thursdayof this week and will be the guest of honor at the annual dinner of the Daily Kansan board that evening. In the morning he will meet with the students he hoped that he will remain over to speak at the regular club night of the University Club.
Mr. Rogers is one of the most active of American publishers in all movements for the advancement of the newspaper business and is the author of several books on efficiency. A number of the great newspapers of the country owe their inception largely to Mr. Rogers.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Quite fittingly on the very first morning after the K. U. Movies when many local stars saw themselves through cinema eyes for the first time, the Kansas received a letter from a motion picture producer asking for men to send their pictures and apply for acting positions.
Perhaps the two committees which were starred in the K. U. reel of film, or perhaps Registrar George O. Foster who registered joy in the midst of a group (perhaps they call it bevy movies) of girls, will want to apply
"Some of you students are behind in your work about a dozen assignments," said the prof.
"I'm all up, am I not?" asked one young woman.
The prof ran over the check marks after her name.
"Yes, you've got a good line," said the prof. And he wondered why the class all laughed.
There are some who call oral interpretation "public speaking."
"Only five more of 'em," remarked Gib Swenson as he left a class this morning.
Yep, they've started the regular spring amusement of counting the days.
CARRANZA TO CAPITAL
Villa Accompanies Deposed President to Mexico City in Report
Washington, May 18- Carranza,
jewored Mexican president, and Franconia
Villa are an their way to Mexico
city, unacquainted with the local
department today.
The American embassy at Mexico City contend that Carranza was seen last Sunday passing through a small village ninety miles south of Mexico City. He had a small resort and was traveling northward at the time. Rebecca Velez, who resided in Mexico would be appointed Mexican constabulary of the northern steetes.
United States representatives at the American embassy in Mexico City and throughout the republic will be held on the ground to observe and report on developments in government during Mexico's "period of reconstruction" it was learned today at the state department.
Reports from the embassy will aid the state department in the determination of a new Mexican policy.
CHANCELLOR URGES GREATER INDEPENDENCE FOR UNIVERSITY
Strong Makes Plea for an Independent Student Body; an Independent Faculty; an Independent Administration for a Greater Institution
NEW BUILDINGS IMPERATIVE
HAS VISION OFMANY NEW BUILDINGS
Convocation opened by the singin,
of the Doxology which was followed
by the fifteenth Psalm as a responsive
reading and closed by the Lord's
Prayer repeated in unison. The
Chancellor read a note from Everett Bradley in which he thanked the students for their support in assisting him in gaining athletic honors and he said, "but K. U. First" to the best of his ability on such a foundation. Music included numbers by the Men's Glee Club, Women's Glee Club, University Band and Orchestra.
Sees Immediate Need for Two and One-Half Million Dollar Expansion in Buildings and Improvements —Thinks Money Will Come Easily
Chancellor Strong also outlined a plan of growth for the University which would aggregate two and one-half million dollars in new buildings. He talked of lowered moral tone, the result of war conditions, and he made a plea for higher standards of scholarship and greater student spirit, not alone in athletics, but in all things that will make for a greater University.
"About $1,400,000 in round numbers has been expended in new buildings during this administration," said the Chancellor, making an averted comment a year but he expects an amount much higher to be appropriated for the future.
"I have what I have to say this morning," said Chancellor Strong in beginning his address to the student body, "is not in regard to the University that was, but to the one that is to be. When one is onabo to relinquish such a position as I have held one sees things a little differently.
The Chancellor went on to say that a new power plant is badly needed but the $150,000 which has been appropriated would be inappropriate to build it not be built very soon.
ASK MILLION FOR DOMES
"At the buildings must be fire proof. 'All the buildings must be strong and of course to Chance them Fire proof must have more money.' he went on to say that the library needs at least $200,000, that there should be appropriated $200,000 for a Fine Arts building, $200,000 for a medical building for housing purposes, and at least a university dormitories. An auditorium must be chosen. Chance and a half million should be appropriated for that.
There should be yearly appropriation of one million dollars for maintenance now, increasing about $30,000 a year from on now.
"Independence must be the watchword of the University of Kansas in the future," said Chancellor Frank Strong in the last convocation of his eighteen years at the University. "Eighteen years ago, when I came here, the Chancellor was vested with complete authority. He was the head of the Board of Regents, while now the head is in Topeka instead of in Lawrence."
"Universities are getting very large," continued Chancellor Strong. "Many of them have a population from 6,000 to 11,000. With the introduction comes the question of the most efficient plan for administration."
NEW PLANS NECESSARY
"One of two results is inevitable Elither the University will be divided into colleges after the English system or it will be split according to schools The last plan is least desirable."
"Graduate work and research must increase in this institution, sad the Chancellor. The learning of the past must continue to be transmitted but the present stock of knowledge must be updated to if our civilization is t advance.
"A possible solution to this problem is the Yale plan. At Yale they have created a freshman faculty with a dean, whose sole business is to look after the freshmen. This leaves a larger faculty to administer to the upperclassmen and puts the University on a more efficient basis.
LEARNING SPECIALIZED NOW
"Great changes have come in the administration of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences since, when Mrs. Chancellor said the Chancellor. "The old college man did not have as definite end to follow as the student of today, who can specialize in any one of a wide number of fields. Today we have separate schools, as Journalism Domestic Science and Mining. This program is divided by different kinds of work into schools, and it has been made possible for the student to get
direct practical benefit from his work.
The Chancellor made a strong plea for retaining the old-fashioned cultural courses such as Latin and Greek, saying they are time-honored and should be studied to gain a rounded education.
The Chancellor talked strongly for adequate salaries for college faculty. "The best men and women are being drawn out of the teaching profession and this will continue until the salaries are made adequate to maintain the proper standard and rank of the school."
TOWNS WAY STANDARD
"The car has produced the beverage by-product, plainly in the University. Morals have it down considerably. The standard of scholarship has lowered, students as well as everybody else have let down restrictions and as a result there is an astonishing amount of stealing going on, and extravagance is rampant. This is true not only of the university but, if the same if not worse in universities all over our country.
"Honesty and integrity should be practiced above all else and our morals should be improved."
The next to be considered is self-government by the students of the University. The main program of discipline is in the student body itself. A few years ago there were no rules governing the students, and the university was forced upon us. One of the best things done for this University in the last eighteen years was the adoption of the new constitution.
CHANCLÉLOR POWER LIMITED
Just as far as students will take responsibility and act upon it will we have the kind of government that is desirable for a university. We can't talk democracy unless, we hit everybody. I want to be democratic but the Chancellor is the only one in the University who can not be democratic, lest friendiness be misinterpreted.
The next consideration is government by the faculty. How far shall government by faculty go? We have to take into consideration the history of the tradition of the University. Eighteen years ago the Chancellor had great power. He and he alone was responsible for everything in the institution. He tried to say that the university should be upon the faculty, but he was always answered that he was responsible as head of the institution.
"As far as I am concerned, if I stayed I would go to the legislative body of the University an dlay 'let us define these powers.' The Chancellor is responsible for the things that some one else does.
INDEPENDENCE IS DECLARED
INSPECTION OF A BOOK
"I inspected the University come here. In this University going to be independent and control its own destinies? Eighteen years ago all power and authority rested with the Chancellor, he was president of the board of Regents as well as head of the University. The first step was to transfer this power to a Board of Administration, Mr. Heller was appointed to the Governor, who is chairman of the Board of Administration.
"We are goin gto demand that the University be universally independent.
College spirit and college loyalty has been only in athletics. But, we can not have compete and true competence in one part of the institution. That is the greatest reason we haven't it. (Continued on Page 4)
