Modern Literary Style Will Change, Says W. A. White
Noted Kansas Writer Give Gleamings From World of Letters to Students
"The style of literature of today will certainly change from this short-dressed, hobbed hair, barearmed, flapper type," said William A. Bates, professor of partitions of English and journalism in Fraser校 Thursday afternoon.
He told the world of letters during his time as an observer. He spoke of William D. Howells as the founder of the Society from the 80s until about 1410.
"It is somewhat generally said that Howell was a realist," he continued, "but he was no more a realist than he was a realist. I believed that man had a certain amount of nobility in him, that he was something more than the clay that made him. Howells was not only a novelist but also a critic—although not the harsh kind.
"In 1890 or threeHOUTHS Hamlin Garland began to be recognized as a writer. He was a type of realist, although he was not like the realists of today. About him in Chicago there grew up a western school, the writings of which were published mostly by Stone and Kimball.
New School Has Value
"About ten years ago there sprung up the new school which is still prominent today. Their belief was that man is a common animal. The new school is the outcome of the war, of the disillusions Followed. I do not think it is good for men to too much musk sentimentality. Man is good, but he is not all good, he is not God's perfect child—not by seventy-five or eighty per cent; and so the new view point has some value. The disillusionation with the world and it will probably remain for another half decade.
"Today Sinclair Lewis occupies the place that Howellies occupied 30 years ago. His new book is one of the great works of American letters. Do not think that Lewis is a realist, for he is not; he is a satirist."
Changes Will Be Radical
"The short story is a form that is "here to stay," said Mr. White in answer to a question concerning the meaning of the modern and popular short story form.
Guild Helps Write Book Survey of Finances of Indiana Takes Three Years
Changes Will There be a change in the future, said Mr. White when he was asked the possible influence of radio on the newspaper of tomorrow. "When the picture of the president giving his speech and the words of the speech are thrown upon the screen, such an event will invent something to can it and reproduce it a few hours later in the nome.
"People will then see games, hear speeches, in fact hear and see nearly anything that they wish in their own homes. For that reason I am glad that I am a man of 57 instead of a man of 30, for there is going to be a lot of machinery in the newspaper offices of today that will have to be junked for new equipment to morrow."
Pref. Frederick H. Guild, of the political science department of the University is the co-author of a book, just recently issued by Indiana University. The book is The Analysis of the Finances of the State of Indiana from 1913 to 1923, and was written by Professor Gulduff when he was professor of political education at Charles Kettle, director of the Indiana legislative reference bureau, in the other author.
The survey, which is one of the series of the Indiana University studies, is intended to furnish a means for publishing some of the contributions to knowledge made by instructed advanced students of the University.
The book, gives by fiscal years, the total expenditures and receipts of the state.
Professor Guild was in Indiana last summer, and completed his work on the survey. It took three years to compile the statistics.

Council Enforces Speed Regulations With Reprimands
Treasurer Reports Book
Deficit; Expenses of
Last Election
Announced
The Men's Student Council announced its intention to put into force the motor vehicle speeding regulation for the campus in its meeting Thursday evening when two speeds, Norville Snyder and Harry Klemp, appeared in answer to charges of violating the ordinance.
Although the cases were dismissed with only a reprimand because they being used to announce publicly a stricter law enforcement, the council made it clear that hereafter charges would be prosecuted in all violations of the speed limit regulation. The council ordinance on speeding, bill number 9, requires drivers over 20 miles per hour at any time on roadways and sets the limit at 12 miles an hour between classes. The prescribed penalty for the first offense is deprivation of social privileges for one semester.
Hold Compensation Provision
The council voted to adhere to its statutory provision that no manager of any Hill entertainment or publication should receive compensation for his services except in the case of a fatal accident. This decision was made in order to make clear the stand of the council after it had voted several weeks ago to allow the salary contract of John Montgomery as business manager of the Sour Owl) with Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalist of the city, then allowed on the grounds that the contract was made without knowledge of the council's provision.
The monthly report of the treasurer, Paul T. Rienniet, showed an estimated book deficit of $220 at the end of the year because it was because over a thousand dollars of receipts from the Varyan dances, the council's share are available. Reasons for the increased expenses this year are the increase in the number of the state at an expense of $200; the estimated expense of between $75 and $100 for sending two delegates to the midwest student conference at Manhattan; and the purchase for a midwest ballot boxes and election booths.
Two Delegates to Conference
Wallace James, president of the council, and Paul Rieniels, president-elect, are being sent as delegates from the University of Kansas to the conference on student problems which will be held at Manhattan, April 30, May 1 and 2. Although the conference desired two it is urged all students who could pay their own expenses to take part in the conference.
It cost $219.08 to hold the spring elections. The report of Fred Montgomery, chairman of the election board, showed this total. The amount included the $120 for new voting equipment, the $45 for announcements, printing, stenographic work and meals for election day officials.
With the beginning of next week
the various parts of the water can-
valle will be assimilated, according
to the instructions of the de-
partment of physical education.

Tales of Atrocity Found to Be True by Investigators
Bulgaria
Britishers Confirm Worst Stories of Outrages in Serbia and Bulgaria.
Vienna, April 24—British investigators arrived at Vienna today and were met by newspaper correspondents. They confirmed the fast that even the worst stakes of the "whale hunt" in Australia which have looked through the censorship are true in practically every detail.
Basing their statements upon their own observation, the Britishers said conditions in Bulgaria proximate mediaval inquisitions. They interviewed practically every one of promotions in Sibiria to ask permission to see the leaders of the opposition who were imprisoned.
In a two hour interview which they were granted by Secretary of State Kaikuf the latter insisted the government believes the whole insurrection was engineered in Serbia, "with the knowledge and consent and probably instigation of the Jugo-Slav government."
Sofin Under Military Rule
Sonia Under Curry is in charge in Sofa, Secretary Kalkoff was overruled by the troops, when she entered the prison. Standing outside the "bureau of public safety," the Britswhisers saw within five minutes at least 40 men and women prisoners brought in, some in automobile trucks, others on foot.
Soldiers escorting the squads of civilian prisoners were armed to the earth and held drawn automatics. fathers say men were hurried out of he building and whisked away, preamably to be executed.
One of these condemned men was conveyed in an automobile the license plate of which was covered to prevent retaliatory situations.
Trouble Due to Suppression of Press
Two civilians held revolvers to the sides of the prisoner. The latter was forced to keep his hands on
"We were curious why this was done," one of the visitors said, and questioned a bystander. We learned that the condemned man's finger nails probably had been torn off during third degree torture.
"The government did not wish the populace to see his condition. We are definitely of the opinion," he continued, "that Bulgaria should take advantage of the freedom of the press and the outwawing of all decent parliamentary opposition."

William Allen White Talks on Newspaper Difficulties
"No paper ever got along and printed all the news—space is too limited," said William Allen White, the editor of the news classes this afternoon.
"If an editor uses a selfish view point to choose by呼," he continued, "the public will soon find it out, and he will cause his own downfall. He must use the standard of whether the news is for the community good.
"Reporters should be licensed," said Mr. White in answer to a question. "There is no reason why, since all other professional nen are licensed, there is no reason why they should not be." Reporters are the ones who hand out news, which in return makes public sentiment."

Too Much Stress Placed on Wealth, Avers Kirby Page
Several Civilizations Have Been Ruined by Great Desire to Possess Things
Things
Doctor Page said that there are two types of civilization, a creative civilization, and a possessive civilization. He stated that there have been five great civilizations which thrived on creation but each collapsed when it turned from the creative and beautiful to possession.
"Our civilization is one of possession. To a degree never known in the history of the world, emphasis is placed on the possession of wealth and luxurious comfort," such was the keynote of the address given by Dr. Kirby Page at convocation this morning.
"We are creative today," said Doctor Kirby, "to the extent that we create things that are useful or are comfortable luxuries. The chief awards go to the possessors or accumulators. The men and women who dominate our civilization are those who possess."
War Is Result
"The consequences of a possessive civilization is that it is divided within itself because the quantity of goods to be divided is limited, whereas the desire for goods is unlimited. The struggle which follows leads to division, strife, violence and war."
Doctor Page declared that class war is leading to two types of individuals, the winners, and the losers. "What happens to the losers of this civilization?" be naked. "Go into the slums and poor quarters of our industrial centers and you will find millions and millions of losers."
"What happens to the winners? They become self-centered. Their comfort and their luxury are their supreme aims in Life. They employ whatever methods they can to obtain these ends. Therefore we have exe- cited the women who excel- helps women and children and defenseless men."
"What we need," declared Doctor Page, in closing his address, "are men and women who will spend lives of creativeness instead of those of consumption, creative lives in realms where the needs of society is greatest. There is an urgent need for men and women who are specialized in human relations. This are must have to be involved together, individual with individual, group with nation, group with nation, race with race.
Creativeness Is Need
“Civilization is at the fork of the road and so are individuals. Are you going out for wealth $p$ for everyone, answer you give it all important.”
Following a banquet at 6 o'clock tonight at the University Commons, Doctor Page will call "What can I do?" The two students morrow morning at 8:30 in room 392 central Administrator building, there will be an open forum on war. Doctor Page will conclude his meetings with Ms. Forsyth and the "Sources of Spiritual Power"™.
