Cosmopolitan Club Honors Graduates at Annual Dinner
International Friendship Is Keynote Sounded by Well Known Speakers
The annual farewell banquet of the Comompetitor Club in honor of its graduating seniors was held at Wedemann's tea room Wednesday evening. Many of the foreign students wore their native costumes. The white suits of the Filipinos, the blue suits of the Turks, the turbans of India and the variety of colors of the American women guests made a bright affair.
Chancellor E. L. Händley and W. C. Simons, editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, sounded the keynote of the banquet—international friendship—in their addresses. Led by Steve Merrill, this year's president told of their determination to maintain in their future work the international viewpoint. Seizo Ogino, a Japanese student, said he looked forward to the day when the members of the club would meet one another again, perhaps about an interpersonal relationship, in a world-wide economic conference.
Eight Seniors Graduated
The other senior members of the club are: Isaac Calpurni, Edilberto Lumasag and Benjamin Reynes from the Philippine Islands, and Benjamin Poisner, LaVern Pratt and Tom Poor, Americans.
Chancellor Lindley, speaking on internationalism, compared the underlying intellectual and spiritual unity of human life to the unity of the physical universe that is confined and revealed by the work of the scientist.
"How much we need the brooding contemplation of the East, your poise and equanimity?" said Chancellor Lindley.
W. C. Simons Speaks
Mr. Simons declared that a mistake of American missionaries to foreign countries in the past had been underestimating the high worth and attainments of the peoples whose hands they visited, and that this is why the International House at New York City where hundreds of foreign and American students live. The house was built with funds provided by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
Sidewalks, Shrubbery and Road Will Be Shined Up
The newly elected officers of the club were introduced by the toastmaster, Richard Hannon, of oath president; Richard Anderson, president; Edward Spencer, American vice-president; Bartolome Ygas of the Philippines, secretary and Si-
Professor F. H. Guild entertained the dinners with sleight of hand tricks. Several musical numbers, closing with a group of Hawaiian melodies played by Tin Luke Wongwai on the guitar were on the program.
Campus to Be Improver
Improvements of the campus for next year will include new shrubbery pavement, rebuilt side walks, and a new roof for Fowler shoes according to H. H. Ball, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
The paving will include the block from Dyche museum to Twelfth street in Orcad, and the road in front of Fraser hall to Blake hall.
"A technical question must be settled about the unpaved portion of Orland before it can be paved," maitinee said. "You should start to avoid after school is out."
The side walk on the south side of the street across from the chemistry building from Mississippi street to engineering building will be rebuilt.
"A large amount of shrubbery will be planted next fall," Mr. Ball continued. Plans are now under way by the university to plant for landscaping the west campus—the ground west of the Commons including the engineering building and the gymnasium. Shrubs will be planted in these buildings in an artistic manner.
Lambda Chi is the fifth fraternity to make its appearance on the campus of the University of the City of Toledo.

Coffman, state fire marshal.
Since March 17 last, all motion picture theater owners and others who project nitro-cellulose, or highly inhomogeneous film, outside the limits of fireproof boots conforming to legal requirements, technically have been violating a law adopted by the courts. This law prohibits the section of the former law prohibiting the showing of acetate of cellulosum or slow burning film excepting from boots, but places ironclad restrictions on the exhibition of film with nito-cellulose base. It will have the effect of curtailing in the main, showing of nitro-cellulose films in vehicles with portable machines for the reason that they, unless they employ the product stamped "safety film," are not allowed to project it except from boots prescribed by...

Firebaugh Kept in Dark
Did Not Know of Honor Until Name Is Read
Perhaps some of us have been wondering how Howard Firebaugh K. U's, honor student for 1924, was able to realize a yearlong day without knowing what he was coming up here for. It was accomplished all right and this is how it was done without Firebaugh K. U's greatest idea of what was happening.

Presbyterians See Break
(United Press)
Fundamentalism Controversy May Split Convention
Columbus, May 21—Facing an open break over the principles which have given birth to the modernist fundamentalist controversy the 137th annual assembly of the Press Association in New York on United States owned here today.
Leaders declared the crisis to be a serious of any since that which spiked north and south during the civil war—a breach which has never been breached.
On one side are the militant fundamentalists, led by William Jenkinson and a group of church all ministers who decline to ascribe to the old Presbyterian creed including belief in such biblical miracles as the changing of water.
On the other hand stand the modernists, outnumbered by their opponents, but determined nevertheless to fight for authority to remain within the church and to assert a sainter and more liberal view of biblical supernaturalisms.
The first session of the assembly opened this morning with Dr. Clarence Edward MacArthur, offering moderator, delivering his annual address, including his statistists, battle and a bitter arraignment of modernism in religion.

Student Council Committees Named for Coming Year
Violators of Traffic Rules
Will Forfeit Credits;
Point System
Discussed
Committees for the趁ening year were appointed by Paul Rieniets, president at the regular meeting of the Student Council, Wednesday day evening.
The committees are as follows: Jayhawk advisory board, William Harrison, chairman; registration, Robert Little, Arlo Painnam and Harry Skimmer; auditing board, Glen Parker, chairman; organization on committee, Dr. Andrew Bastian; son, Conrad McDonald, Russell Smith and "Swede" Westland; social, Edward Kilpill, William Ries and Wilbur Starr; joint committee on student affairs, Theodore Sanborn, Robert Patterson, Donald Icett, Robert Little and Glen Parker; exile role, Richard Duckworth; study "Stud" Watson and James Jarboe; special committee to look after the enforcement of the rules concerning speeding, Robert Hill, Hilton Douglass and W.ILLiam Harrison.
It was the opinion of the council that, since the students had had sufficient warning and some had been reprimanded, the next offenders would be subject to the penalty, which is forfeiture of credit hours.
PRESENT Point System Faulty
The council moved that the present committee be appointed to draw up a new point system to be submitted at the first regular meeting next fall. It seems to be the general opinion of the body that a point system is needed, but that no such system has been established in means of administration and in fairness of the distribution of the points. The committee appointed wait; Theodore Sanborn, Arlo Putnam, Robert Little, William Harrison, "Stud" Watson, James Nobile and Hilton Douglass.
The council moved and passed that they pay $65 for the regular 14 pages in the "K" book. The council paid $50 last year; but since the manager of the book is trying to make up a deficit from their year's book and at a loss, they had no choice before the council decided to pay the $65.
Owl Manager to Be Paid
Section six of bill two was set aside, this allowing the Sour Owl to pay the editor $50 for the year's services and the circulation manager $25. This matter was brought before the council and the committee contracted to pay the business manager of the Owl a commission for his work. When this was brought before the council and was approved, the council set the bill aside for that time.
"The Owl has made money this year; in fact it has paid off all debts and has some $300 on deposit. The editor and circulation manager believed that they deserved pay the same as the business manager, and thought to pay, so the edition was brought up," said Paul Vienetis.
A committee, consisting of William Harrison, Donald Isett and Robert Little, was appointed to consider an amendment to the constitution regarding salaries of manager of enclosures. A petition opposing the opinion of the council seemed to be that this committee was made necessary by the fact that the rule concerning those salaries seemed inefficient, since it did not always hold. In several cases it has been supported, so that it practically becomes a law. The court required the need of some kind of regulation. A letter was written from Dean John R. Eyer stating that all-University farrow party was be held
A letter was read from Dean John R. Ryer stating that an all-University farwell party was to be held and that the money was to come
