Big Annual Spring Concert Made Hit With Audience Last Night
That Max Hammerstein Schneider has a well trained band is the opinion of those who attended the Annual Spring Conference at the Club in Fraser Hall last night.
From the time the club swung into the opening number until they went off "On the Road to Mandalay" the whole program was set up of Solos by Orla St Holmes and Ray Gafney and the selections by the Club's quartet were the features of the entertainment. A reading by Harry Han was given and the stunner was pleased with the performance. The sturman's please is "Love is Mine."
When Prof. Schneider's number had arrived every neck cramped toward the door as the tail figure of the famous conductor entered. The playing of the human band was the hit of the evening and every one was delighted with Prof. Schneider's directing. As the last number of the program arrived however, a one vacant chair on the stage. A tall man cancels and the crowd recognized the graceful hand leader as Fred Pausch, who smiled as he took his place.

REV. NOBLE S. ELDERKIN
SPEAKS IN MYERS HALI
"The Christian and the Other Fellow" implies that there should be a difference between the Christian and the other fellow," said Nevil. Noble S. Elderin before an audience of 75 women in Myers' Hall last evening.
"This truth has always been recognized. Accordingly the men of the Middle Ages erected dogmas, the acceptance or refusal of which were supposed to distingish the Christian and the non-Christian. Atonement, the ten commandments of church government were a few of the artificial distinctions laid down by men. But we today realize that that which should divide these two classes must be a fundamental, more far-reaching distinction. These distinctions are not only in words of Jesus, and these will in time be accepted by all as the true criterion of Christianity and the "Christian."

PRINGLE TELLS OF TRIP
K. U. Member of Ford's "Dove of Peace" Expedition Speaks in Convocation
"WE DID NOT SQUABBLE."
Reported Dissensions Nothing But Friendly Arguments
That the quarrels and fights attributed to the members of the Ford Peace Party were the invention of news-seeking reporters, was the statement of Kenneth Pringle, in his talk on the Ford Peace expedition at the monthly convocation this morning. Because of the extremely short preparation for the trip and the poor or no warm arguments arose when the members began to discuss their views in regard to obtaining peace, but there were no such disagreements as pictured by the press, Pringle declared.
"We found Mr. Ford a quiet, unassuming, very democratic man," the speaker continued. "A man who had not cared for others believed that something ought to be done to further peace even though official action was impossible.
"Our trip through Germany by train has perhaps been the most misrepresented," Pringle said, "for though we had many restrictions—we were forbidden to carry cameras, letters, or written documents of any sort, and we treated as convicts, and the windows of the train were not boarded up.
Pringle then told of the experiences in the blockade in England and of their reception in the various neutral countries, some of which were hostile to British rule. In neutral countries, the party stopped and took on at least five delegates.
"Whether or not the peace expedition will prove of value remains to be seen, but if the program of peace which we submitted to every belligerrent country is considered in the final settlement—and I, for my part, believe it will—then the Ford Peace expedition will not have been in vain."

Museum Open Longer

Students, too, often wish to visit the Museum later than 5 o'clock.

RODKEY OUT FOR YEAR?
Sprained Arch May Keep Star Off Track Remainder of Season
GIVEN TWO WEEKS' REST
Last Effort Being Made to Get Him Into Shape
Fred Rodkey, star distance man,
may participate in no more track
events this season for Kansas. A severe strain in the arch of his left foot is the obstacle that has loomed up to cheat K. U. out of the services of its best track athlete and to wreck otherwise excellent chances of coping the Missouri Valley Conference track championship.
Rodkey's injury happened several weeks before the indoor meet with Missouri in Kansas City. In the Convention Hall battle the sprain both thighs and knee eventually not noticeable. Since then, despite care and attention, the sprain has grown steadily worse and yesterday Rodkey was ordered to take two weeks of absolute rest in a final effort to return to shape and then into shape in time for the Drake Relay games in Des Moines Saturday of next week. Unless the sprains better soon, there is a possibility that it may result in the arch fallin- ing, in which event Rodkey's track would be over, at least as a star.
Coach W. O. Hamilton, admitted yesterday that Rodkey's condition was giving the coaches no little worry and that every effort was being made to get the star into shape as soon as possible.
WILL NOT BE CHEATED
Seniors and Alumni to Banquet in Spite of State Auditor's Ruling
"It is settled, there will be an alumni dinner," said Prof. L. N. Flint, secretary of the University of Kanada, in response, "but it will be a pay dinner."
At a meeting of the alumni of the University faculty held yesterday at 4:30 o'clock, it was decided that the seniors would not be deprived of the dinner, in spite of the ruling by W. E. Davis, state auditor, and S. M. Brewster, attorney general, that the money commencement U.S. offers commencement entertainment expenses could not be legally used to pay for the alumni dinner.
Details of the dinner were not set-
tied and it is uncertain whether it will
be given Tuesday or Wednesday,
June 6 or 7.
There was but one objection among the many responses to the article in the Graduate Magazine, asking the sentiment of the alumni concerning the continuation of the dinner as a affair. The alumni will use all influence possible to have the dinner arrangements restored next year.
This feature of the commencement
occurences is as part of the University
and Faculty Expansion Plan.
Last year eleven hundred sat at the tables in Robinson Gymnasium. About 10,000 attended.
