BANK OF FRANCE
SUSPENDS TRANSACTIONS
Paris, Jan. 14 All exchange
transactions were ordered sus
pended "until further notice" to
day by the Bank of France when
conferences to find a new, gov
ernment to replace the fallen
people's Front cabinet of Camil
lie Chautemps were begun by
president Albert Lebrun this
mnrninEr.
Chautemps resigned early to
day because of the increasing
restlessness of labor, fall of the
franc, and the resignation of
Socialist members from his cab
inet. Resigning finance minister,
George Bonnett, remained to di
rect government finances until
a new cabinet is named, and to
manage the Bank of France in
struction to exchange dealers
prohibited dealings in all foreign
currencies for an indefinite per
iod. The orders of financial sources
stated that there were to be "no
exchange dealings whatsoever."
The command will even keep
tourists from changing money.
There were some persons who
expressed the belief that the new
cabinet would hold policies some
where between those of. the
Leftist People's front of Com
munist, Socialist, and radical
socialistic doctrines; and the
conservative Right.
Aitnougn unautemps was
mentioned as a prospect to sue
ceed himself, observers, indicat
ed that this would hardly be
probable. Others considered
were: former premier Herriot,
radical Socialist: former Pre
mier Albert Sarraut, and Edou-
ard Daladier, the resigned, de
fense minister.
The People's Front party cast
blame on Chautemps for making
" a declaration hostile to the
working classes."
They claimed "he said nothing
against those responsible for f i
nancial panic and those who
sabotaged social laws."

gime last night brought protests

NUMBER 81
Committee To Pick New
Method Of Handling
Senior Contracts
Plans Suggested
The Student council last night
postponed any definite action
concerning a proposal that the
power to select contracts and set
retail prices for senior com
mencement invitations be taken
from the senior class president
and the invitations committee.
A committee, composed of
President Bob Magill, Warren
Haddaway, and Joe Patterson,
senior class president, was ap
pointed to form a proposal
which will be presented and act
ed upon at another special meet
ing Monday night.
4Mull Over" Proposal
Magill said the council "mull
ed over" the suggestion made by
Willis Harrison in a letter which
revealed the possibility of graft
under the present system, for
some time. "Opinions expressed
at the meeting will be the es
sence of the committee's pro
posal Monday night," he said.
Several new plans for select
ing the engraving contract, han
dling local tasks necessary and
setting the retail price were dis
cussed. Chief among these were
that the Publications board han
dle all transactions, that the ac
tions be carried on as at present,
but that all transactions be au
dited and published, and that
the University Purchasing agent
select contracts and NYA stu
dents do local tasks.
Present Plan
Under the present plan, the
senior class president and the
invitations committee select the
contract and set the retail price.
In the past, no audit or record
was made of any transactions.
In a letter presented to the
council Monday night, Harrison
revealed that under this system
there was an open opportunity
for graft. He showed the prob
ability that excessive profits had
been made in the past, and
warned that unless the system

Graham Memorial Director
Would Rather Give New
Dance A Chance First
Mae West was barred from the
radio because she talked about
the apple. The Grail and the
German club bar anyone from
their dances who does the Lit
tie Apple. But Pete Ivey, Gra
ham Memorial director, is un
decided. '
The Little Napoleon will give
the Little Apple a chance before
he bars it. He plans to have a
couple who asked to be allowed
to present the "fruit dance" on
the stage in his gala amateur
show Sunday night at 8 :30 in
Hill hall demonstrate their abil
ity in his office.
If he thinks their perform- .
ance is satisfactory, the diminu
tive director will allow them to
present their dance in his show.
Sedalia Singers
Aside from the Little Apple,
the highlight in entertainment
should be the presentation of the
Sedalia Singers, noted Negro
choral group, which has been
enthusiastically received here
previously on the Student En
