Miss S. G. Laird Delivers Final Talk of Series
Meredith Lecture Last
"The most important element in the work of George Meredith is his introduction of the comic spirit in literature," said Miss Sarah Laird, professor of English, in the last of the series of lectures on contemporary English literature yesterday. "He was a teacher of humor an something to make as think." His primary function is to make us laugh.
This group of lectures is a movement by the English department to foster interest in contemporary writers. It has not been the purpose take in all freshmen in the University, but the lectures have been for those interested in literary movements.
Miss Laried discussed the life and works of George Meredith and told her audience how to understand him best. She said that the reader of Meredith must be prepared to read a highly intellectual author, and that to enjoy his writings, the reader must challenge his thoughts.
"Meredith wrote to suit himself in a style that is very clear and loose," said Miss Laird. "He was an artist and wanted to bring to sit his art to reviewers."
No author, since Shakespeare has portrayed and sparked a group of heroines as Meredith presented, according to the speaker. He displayed femininity in his novel not of conventional, but of "real young women."
"Although Meredith belongs to the nineteenth century, his influence extends to our time," said Professor Laird. "There is a tendency to delve into the motivs of other people, and this is what Meredith did." she said.
The speaker explained that there are very few authentic facts known about the writer since he wrote no biography of himself. Newspaper men have tried to find out about his life but they have had little success. Professor Lard suggested that the "Beguil" in the best of Mafia characters are subjects of common discussion. Men especially enjoy this, she said, "because they can see themselves reflected in the characters portrayed."

Painless expects to have his cabinet completed, late tonight.
Joseph Callaux who once was premier of France and later barely escaped a firing squad for treason, was today again the storm center of French politics, while many of the passions of the famous "Callaux affair" were revived and shined to white heat by the prospect of his
Kansas and Washburn Glee Clubs Will Give Second Joint Concert
Program by Men's Choruse Scheduled for April 22
A joint concert of the combined men's club clubs of the University of Kansas and Washburn College with Alfonso Abitier, April 22 at 8:13 p. m.
This is the second concert of this nature to be given by the clubs, the success of the one last year being an important step, the grant would be well received. More than 3000 invitations and programs have been sent to the Shawnee county alumni of the two schools and a large audience is expected to attend.
Several new men have been added to the personnel of the K. U. club so that it now totals 46 members. The most recent of these is H. F. Needham, a professor of design holding extra rehearsals under the direction of Prof. T. A. Larmorem and will be used in the joint concert, F. F. Listsinger, a member of the K. U. club during the fall semester, to be the first instructor with the Washburn chair.
The program this year will be longer and more varied than that of last year and more numbers will be sung by the combined clubs. There will be four of these, two of which will be conducted by Prof. Frank S. Kenyon of Washburn. The remaining two conducted by Prof. A. J. A. Kennedy and H. F. Campbell of the Kanaas club. The solosist from K. U. will be Wendell B. Powell, c 25 and Leon C. King c 29, both of whom in Topeka.
The combined strength of the two clubs will be about 70 voices, a much larger number than sang together last spring. Tuesday, April 28 the joint concert will be repeated at Lawrence in Rokinson gymnasium. The program will be practically the same as that given in Topeka.
Plans are now being made for a post-session concert to be aung at the Baccalaureate services June 7. This may be given by both the men's and women's glee clubs or by the men's club alone.
Clinic to Be Instituted
University of Iowa Sponser Scheme for Laws
Lown City, Ia., April 17—A law clinic, patterned somewhat after the medical clinic, has been instituted in the college of law at the University of Iowa for the benefit of practicing attorneys and law students.
The scheme will be put into effect during the summer session, it was announced today. There will be two terms, the first lasting from June 18 to July 22 and the second from July 23 to August 26.
In this clinic laws will undergo "treatment" just as patients undergo treatment in a medical clinic. Lawyers who wish an insight into practical law problems, may take it out on the dog here, before attempting to sue the animal in course, vast benefits for the clients. Problems of advanced practice, examination of abstracts of title, income and inheritance taxation, office practice, advanced Iowa practice, public utilities, insurance, partnership, and municipal corporations will be discussed in as many laws as possible. The law library of 38,000 volumes will be at the service of the students.
Dean Henry Craig Jones has secured attorney James F. Ryan of Davenport, In., to lecture on income and inheritance taxation problems, and attorney A. A. Zimmerman of Waterloo, in, to lecture on examinations. Prof. R. M. Perkins, Prof. W. G. Cook, Prof. O. K. Patton of the regular law faculty will also be retained for the summer clinics.
Freshmen Elected to Catch Flies to Feed "Pansy Kite," Pet Alligator From Louisian
Up from the tropical swamps of Louisiana came a package to the Theta house recently. It was about the size of a shoe box, and because of the instructions on the outside of the box, and unexplained noises from its interior, was immediately unwrapped.
Dogs may be hard to care for and cats may be a misnausea, but the problem of caring for them is simple because they are not capable of capturing an aligator in a sorority house.
The task of housing him was temporarily arranged by putting him in the kitchen sink, but the cook soon objected. Every possible means of keeping him was discussed, from the use of a refrigerator to keeping on a chain in Potter Lake, but the most practical plan seemed to be to keep him in his box.
Now it may be a problem to teach alligators to keep their places in Louisiana. It may be difficult to teach the yellow eyes of a pear. But how properly raise and train a growing hungry alligator in Kansas was an unsolved problem to the girl who found herself looking at the yellow eyes of a baby manatee.
Marx Seeks to End War
German Candidate Advocates State Organization
(United Press)
"Just as you, beyond the ocean, have your United States of North America and seek to develop to reach a Pan-American union peace and security," he said. "Just so we European need a similar amalgamation." Marx said.
Berlin, April 17—Organization of the states of all Europe to end war was advocated today by Dr. Wilhelm Marx, candidate for the German presidency in an exclusive interview with the United Press, the first he has granted since the campaign started.
"The foundation of such an European union is freedom, independence and equality of nations, including naturally, my country—German," he continued, outlining the project he first hinted at when chancellor.

His name was another cause for discussion. Should he be given a civilized name or something which would sound more appropriate for one of his tribes? Names by the dozens were submitted to the alligator's owner for consideration, the final choice standing at "Pansy Kite."

Under the direction of Dean Stockton and other faculty members of the School of Business, a Business Placement Bureau is being organized on a very definite basis. A committee consisting of Dean Stockton and Professors Stenberg and Bergstresser is appointed to work on the new project.
School of Business Will Start Placement Buree
While the work of the bureau will be essential to place men in the accounting field it will also help to train them in the business field. In the past many men were placed by members of the faculty the new plan however means a definite recognition of the men's role in the work of the School of Business.
It is the plan of the committee to have three acts of blanks printed. One is to be n preference blank for the student, another is to be a blank to be filled out by the student stating his qualifications, the third is a blank to be flashed on the flasks that will show their vacancies and the men that they need.
The Business Placement Bureau will resemble the Teachers Placement Bureaus that are to be found all over the country.
