this kind in the future, however, and asthe nations are gradually learning to co-operate and have faith in each other,eventually they will be successful .

"The foreign policy of the UnitedStates is largely to blame for the pre-dicted failure of the conference," he said ."However, the attitude of the UnitedStates is becoming friendly toward theLeague of Nations and similar interna-tional organizations and I believe thatthe time is not far distant when we willjoin the world court."

craft and is unable to grasp political tac-tics . Although the Mahatma preacheslove and humility, when it comes to theBritish he practices neither."

WNAD play

For the first time in several years, en-rolment in the university has fallen be-low the 5,000 mark. George Wadsack,ex '15 registrar, announced registration of4,700 students for the spring semester,which is 418 below that of the fall en-rolment. The decrease is only slightlylarger than the normal decrease betweenfall and spring semesters, and graduationmid-term of 100 seniors is partly re-sponsible for the drop, Wadsack says .Anthropology classes at the university

tripled enrolment this semester . Thedepartment, which is comparatively new,now has an enrolment of fifty-six . DrForrest E . Clements, head of the depart-ment, teaches the three courses in pre-historic man, Indians of Oklahoma, andthe American Indian .

Oklahoma and Tulsa

March

Oklahoma will play the University ofTulsa in football this fall on October 1at Norman . Oklahoma will have fourimportant home games this year, includ-ing Tulsa, Kansas State October 22, Mis-souri November 5 and Nebraska No-vember 19 .

Tulsa has agreed to abide by the threeyear rule in playing and this was thedetermining factor in adding the easternschool to the schedule .

"The chief contributing factor in ourdecision to schedule Tulsa," Ben G .Owen, director of athletics, explained,"was Tulsa's decision to play the threeyear rule regardless of the fact that theschool had been denied admission to theMissouri Valley conference and also thatthe University of Tulsa was a memberin good standing of the North Centralassociation ."We were also influenced by the cor-

diality that always has existed betweenSooner teams and those of Kendall col-lege and Tulsa and the fact that Tulsawhich had a corking football team lastyear and apparently will have anotherthis year, can make us a capital oppon-ent."

Tulsa had made application to theMissouri Valley but was rejected inpref-erence to Butler university .
