Kansas Delegate Reports Conclave on World Tribuna
College Conference Passe
Resolutions Favoring
U. S. Adherence
to Court
The National Collegiate World Court Conference held at Princeton Dec. 11 and 12 seems to have made is beginning in three directions, according to Flory Simonton, the representative from the University of Kansas
"It has interested men and women of affairs in college activities. In place of the old attitude that students should have no voice in shaping educational policies has come the realization that they must take an active part in the construction of curricula," said Simonton.
Colleges Favor Court
"Whereas, we the delegates of these 250 institutions of higher learning in the United States of America, desire to foster peace in the world and for all people,"
The colleges of the United States went on record as favoring adherence to the World Court, passing the following resolution:
"Be it resolved, that we advocate to the president and the senate of our country adherence to the Permanent Court of International Justice under the so-called Harding-Hughes-Coalire reservations."
The conference went on record as favoring the establishment of a National Federation of Students of America and elected a temporary executive committee for the work of getting such a center established at the conference will be held at the University of Michigan next fall.
Federation Is Established
FOUR PAGES
1 QUERANTITY
Two courses for which the Federation is primarily working are First, to secure an increased interest in and influence upon national and international affairs in colleges, and second, to acquire expertise across the world over.
Some of the means for the attainment of these ends are: The establishment of scholarships between colleges of America and Europe; student tours to countries with a high degree of cultural and undergraduate in American colleges on matters of arrangement; creation of public opinion against commercialism in athletics, and the encouragement of art of college students.
South Gets Representation
Simonston said, "Seven geographical divisions of the country were made and every division was represented by one of the executive committees. The conference was brought face to face with a concrete problem before the meeting for six minutes of the last session."
"A colored representative for the colleges colored was suggested. The problem was forced upon the conference by the sudden withdrawal of the delegate from Louisiana following the election of Miss Holloway.
"Delegates from the southern white schools raised an objection to the representation of the entire South on the executive committee by a negro, Miss Holloway, of Howard college. They insisted that it would be practically impossible to maintain the co-operation of the white schools of the South when they learned from their colleagues regional representation was a negro.
"The solution finally hit upon was to double the number of regional representatives on the executive committee, thus allowing the South oriented and a white representative with that region special attention."

Five State Institutions to Us Insignium on All Diplomas With Owu Emblems
The Kansas State Board of Reents recently adopted a new seal to be used on diplomas during the regular University seal, and it will displace the old Board of Reent seal featuring imoes Moses and the burning bush.
The new seal will be used by all five of the schools under direct state supervision and will appear on all diplomas issued by these institutions along with the regular seals belonging to them.
The seal was designed by George O. Foster, registrar of the University, who has done moth work during the past three months in discovering the old "Burning-Bush" seal, and defended it against claims that there had been such a thing.
The new seal is only a slight variation of the regular Kansas state seal. This variation consists of a thin blank band encircling the seal, in which appears the name of the Board of Regents.
The main information concerning the old seal came from Miss Hannah Oliver, instructor in Latin, who was present at the convention where the seal was adopted in 1866. This was not the year the University was in session.
Mr. Foster's work on the seal has been in collaboration with a seal committee, selected by Chancellor Lindley, as chairman.
