President's Address
Is Ruined by Radio
A roar as of Nigara Falls tailed the Kansan room. Someone said it sounded like a rain storm in the early afternoon, many of the heavens it was more lively to storm. The commotion was caused by nothing more than a radio outfit installed in the news room to receive calls from the address of Prudent Calvin Coolidge.
But the contraption would work as well. It was just like it to fail on an occasion which happens but once in four years. The screeching, grinding sounds, the roaring and whirring drowned out even the noises of the printing presses downstairs. While the rattling of the typewriter was compared to the sounds come over the ether waves.
Guessees were being made as to what the sounds being broadened were "A freight train going through the woods, an indirection in one of his typical moods of silence," another brilliant young journalist (notice the "date") remarked, "A conversation between two people, a duplex in shixx," said a third. All were right.
Occasionally, a few coherent words managed to emanate from the dry-throated loud speaker, but before one can catch the thread of the speech the infernal screeching breaks in again. The broadcasting station informs the crowd that "this is station XNXZ" and "the speaker is speech. This last statement is about the only intimation that this is the inaugural address.
"I never did think much of those new-fangled contraptions," said the typical fellow ironically. He added he had a better radio set at home.

Commencement Dress
of Faculty Discussed
Whether the University faculty members are to appear in cap and gown in the commencement process next June in a question to be investigated by a committee appointed by the chancellor as a result of the University senate meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The senate discussed at length the matter of appearing commencement day in academic costume. It was decided to appoint a committee of investigation with instructions to report soon.
Recently some popular discussion has arisen over the fact that students are required to dick the dignified and wholly appropriate costume of the scholar upon graduation while faculty appears in street attire. The faculty should have worn the cap and gown, but the faculty has not for several years.

President Coolidge Reptedges Himself in Inaugural Today
America's Responsibility for World Peace Proclaimed Paramount Duty of Nation
(United Press)
The United States, isolated alike by its prosperity, its independence, and its power, must recognize the important national position, the president declared.
Washington, March 1-4, America's responsibility to lead the world to permanent peace and prosperity was proclaimed by President Goodluck in his inaugural address today as the paramount duty facing the nation.
In his address, delivered in the traditional place before the great dome of the capitol, by the magic of Moses and the sands who had gathered to hear him, to millions throughout the country, the president preached a gospel of international co-operation and demanded that was at times deeply religious.
He Re-Affirms Economy Stand
The president re-emphasized governmental economy and tax reduction as the basic internal policies of his administration. The cost of government, he said, should be cut before government became more of a burden to the people. The reduction, he declared, is economically desirable, but an inherent right to which the citizens of state and nation were entitled.
World leadership in the struggle to advance universal prosperity and peace develops naturally upon the United States, the president painted because among all the nations in the most favorably situated.
Outlining specific ways in which the United States could properly exert vase influence, the president advocated adherence to the World Court, and he required conferences such as these which resulted in the Dawes plan and the Paris agreement, continued endeavor to limit armaments, economic aidistance to less favored peoples, and the codification of international law.
No Reference Made to League
He did not refer to the League of Nations or to debts. But this country's traditional isolation, he said, should only go so far as to keep that old political affairs of Europe while co-operating in every practical way to promote peace and prosperity.
In discussing the world court he advocated adherence in stronger terms than he has ever previously used.
"We cannot barter away our independence or our sovereignty," he said, "but we ought to engage in no reservation of the rights of our subterfugeers, to argue away the undoubted duty of this country by reason of the might of its numbers, the power of its resources, and its ability to actively and comprehensively to signify its approval and to bear its full share of the responsibility of a candidate and disinterested attempt at the exercise of national authority in the administration of even-handed justice between nation and nation. The weight of our enormous influence must be cast upon the side of a reefer who is willing to take the trial set for battle, but by reason."
"Tax Reduction Above All"
TAX REDUCTION ABOVE ALL
In considering domestic affairs Mr. Coleasingus set governmental economy and tax reduction above all the other aims of his administration. He vigorously defended the principles of arty government, division of powers, party responsibility, power of he courts and majority rule, while he just as vigorously condensed government ownership and radical control of public agencies, he declared, had been supported by a very clear and definite mandate from the people" in the last election.
