K. U. Rock Chalk Pile to Be Unveiled at Tonight's Rally
New Members of Sachen Will Be Selected From Crowd During Ceremony
Freshmen of the University will begin voluntary wearing of their caps tonight at 7 o'clock on the Rock Chalk File ceremony. Stanley Packard, a former member of the movement this morning to a Kansan reporter, "Don't let the freshmen be the ones to fall in this program. Every freshman should wear a cap for the first ceremony of the Rock Chalk File from then on until commencement."
The Rock Chalk Pile ceremonies will begin promptly at 7 p.m. m., and the Ceremony will be held by 8 o'clock. Ceremonies will be held on the slope north of Administration
Core Is Built
A university truck was employed yesterday to bring over a load of rock from the foundation of old North College hall to form the core of the pile. The rock will be moved and cutting stones will be brought over and veiled until the ceremonies this evening. The small rock from North College will represent that building. The meaning of the other one will be revealed by Mecle Smith at the unveiling.
Dr. Frank Strong will be master of
drum, and will give a short talk,
the nature of the tradition, and the
cance of the tradition. Miss Hannah
Oliver will do the unveiling this
Arlo. Putnam, chief Scaebem, urged student attendance. He said this morning, "This is the student project, the student body of the future will be built upon, and build upon. I hope the present student body will show its loyalty and interest in the pile to mark its beginning, even event to look back upon with pride."

Women Seek Trip as Santa Fe Entertainers
Club May Apply for Tour
In the future all rallies will be held around the Rock Chalk pile instead of at North College. Other stones will be added to the pile from time to time to commemorate students events, and in some instances they will be in the history of the University.
The announcement of new Sachem members will be made immediately after the ceremonies. Members will have a "council fire." Single Sachem members will go out among the crowd and pick out the men to be elected to Sachem membership. "No man elected who is not in the crowd will have the opportunity to attend the ceremony until the election next fall," said chief Sachem, Arlo Putnam.

Pulitzer Prize Rejected
Sinclair Lewis Refuses Annua Award for Novel
Sinclair Lewis has refuted what is considered the highest honor which he earned on an American author, his *Literature*. He earned $1000 and $1000 goes with the awarding of the Pulitzer price, released on his 1925 novel, "Arrowsmith."
Mr. Lewis believes that the appraisal of novels is not made according to their actual literary merit, but by how much they form may chance to be popular at the moment, and that only by communal refusal of authors to accept the prize, will novels be written for the pleasure of literature instead of for a prize.
The choice was acknowledged by Mr. Lewis but he said that he must refuse the prize because "all prizes, like all titles, are dangerous. The prize is a good reward for inherent excellence, but for alien rewards; they tend to write this, or temporarily to avoid writing that, in order to tickle the prejudices of a hawkadow committee. And the Pulitzer prize for novels is peculiarly objective, because the terms of it have been constantly and gravely misrepresented."

Former Attorney General Indicted by Federal Jury
H. M. Daugherty Accuser of Fraud Conspiracy to Return German
Stocks
New York, May 7—H. M. Daugherty, attorney general of the United States in the cabin of President Harding, today was indicted by the federal grand jury for conspiracy to defraud the government,
The indictment was returned in connection with the investigation of the aliens property exodian during the 1950s, and also the indigenous man. With Daugherty, Miller and J. T. King, former Republican committee member from Connecticut, were in charge.

Jesse Smith, mysterious figure close to Daughter during the time he was attorney general, and who latercompleted his investigation, said to have received the money.
Indictment Supercedes Another

Nerve Fiber Current Detected by Adrian With Radio Machine
Scientist Describes Apparatus to Physiological Society in London
London, May 7. The electric current that shoots along a nerve fiber has been detected by means of radio anaparatus, according to Dr. E. D. Adrian of Cambridge University, who described before a meeting of the American Association of Methodists using a three-tube instrument to make his delicate measurements.
It had long been known, he said, that the passing of messages down a nerve caused an electrical disturbance. But it had only been possible to record the effects from a large number of fibers at once, for example, the thong that protrudes from the eye muscle. The results obtained were therefore as confused as would be the superimposed records from all the telegraph wires between London and Manchester. Doctor Adrian's new apparatus makes it possible for the first time to move a photographic plate of the impulsing photograph along a single fibre.
In conjunction with Doctor Zotterman, a Norwegian neurologist, Doc Zotterman had some results of stimulating a sense organ connected to the brain by a single fiber.
This is the first occasion on which the message passing along a nerve has been opened up a new field of neurology, in the opinion of physiologists here. Within the most few years it should be possible to read the main types of brain cells in a nervous system, and the time has been brought measurably nearer when it will be possible to record the actual movements of physical correlate of consciousness.

Sociology Expert Tells of Problems in Over-Population
E. A. Ross Believes World Nations Will Establish Barriers for Protection
"The United States and advanced European nations must erect a barrier against the overflow of the Asiatic races into the West," said Prof. E. A. Ross, of the University of Chicago, this morning in avocation.
"My prophecy is that the American immigration policy will become less restrictive in the United Zealand, and South Africa have moved to limit immigration. If the Anatarians should turn to Europe to dump their population they would be barred."
A great barrier, Professor Ross believes, is the only means of keeping the population of the world at a deal with it. He also argues that adopting the Oriental races to adjust their birth rate to the decreasing death rate is resulting from the progeny of the race.
Barrier Will Be Raised
Professor Rose insisted that the basis for bearing the Aaiatic races was not an imputation of inferiority but an inference of a uniqueness of a limitation of population.
"In the next 30 years a great barrier will be erected against the Oriental races. But the barrier must not touch students and spokesmen of Adalistic culture. In every possible way we must show appreciation of that culture. But it is perfectly clear that the barrier will not damp the access to them and they will assist one another in maintaining the barrier.
The barrier may last 100 or 150 years. It will come down in time, when the barrier is removed. Then I am sorry to say we will see a understanding of the human race into two halves and the maintenance of an immigration barrier among the rest of the world.
Medical Science Saves Race
Such was the conclusion which the eminent sociologist reached after studying a group of the death rates of the human race and their ratio. Before declaring his conclusion Professor Ross analyzed the causes, so he saw them, in the decapitation of Native Americans, illustrated by the present rate of 12 in 1,600 each year in the United States, and the decline in infant mortality, in the case of this group, one-fourteenth of the births annually.
It is medical science that is saving more and more of the human race, Professor Rosa pointed out. And it is the failure of some nations, including China, Japan, India, Italy to adjust to climate change, and to understand which is at the base of the present danger to the world of overpopulation, in his opinion.
Increase Will Probably Hait
Speaking of the population in this country Professor Ross said;
country Professor Ross said: "There is no reason for worrying about the population, Probably before the country reaches 162 million the population will come to rest. There is now a tension in society to have families of moderate site."
The annual increase in births over deaths in countries of the world was 25 percent, compared with a half million and Japan with three-quarterst of a million. These two countries, he said, illustrated how the pressure of population upon reemergence has been rising.
Professor Ross gave numerous illustrations of the change in the birth and death rates in human history.
"In some advanced communities the rate is down to nine and ten for each 1000. The American Medical Association has said that leaving out future pregnancies will soon each eight and a half per 1000 german in this country."
Infant Mortality Decreases
Infant Mortality Decreases
The direction of population growth he illustrated by the decrease in infant mortality in most nations, the prophesed lengthening of the expectation of life to 65 and 70 years within child generation and the rapid increase in the number of people on the globe.
"Today 11 countries lose less than one-tenth of the babies in the first year and more than half of the normal expectation of life at 70 years. The birth rate in this country is less than half of what it was a century ago, and in a third less than 60 years ago.
