complished by the amendment as fol-
lows:
|. Divide the University and A. &

hibition preventing the Legislature
from making appropriations for per-
manent improvements.
3. Authorize the University board
of regents to issue bonds upon Uni

The only place in which the Uni
versity and A. 4 Nj. are Joined is in

stitutional aspect.
The removal Of the prohibition and
the empowering Of the Legislature to
make permanent improvements in the
Univer"''- will make the States fore
most educational institution the peer
Of its kind in Texas as well as in the
Southwest.
The State nOrmals and the College
Of Industrial Arts at Denton are not
provided for in the State Constitu-
ton and can be abolished at will by
any Legislature with the people of
the State being powerless TO raise
restraining hand
The passage of the amendment
will make these schools constitution
al and outside the pale Of legislative
action, but exclusively within the
control of the voters of the State.

PEASANTS WILL NOT FURNISH
FOOD TO SOVIET
DIET VOTES AGAINST
Troops FAVOR But Masses Hold
Trump Card in Food Sup
ply.

Nuremburg Bavaria, Sunday
The Bavarian national conference of
social democrats here has voted for
ty-two to eight against the introduc-
ton of the soviet republic in Bavaria
Proponents of the plan met with
strong opposition in two quarters. The
Bavarian Diet, it is true, can hardly
meet Tuesday as has been the pro-
gram because it is not assured of the
support of the troops in Munich.
Those in favor of the soviet idea,
however, have met with great oppo-
sition ON the part of the Bourgoise on
the one hand, and the peasants on
the other.
The peasants hold the trump card
in their control of the supply of food
stuffs, which they have declared they
will refuse to deliver in case soviet
government is proclaimed.
Opposition to the soviet form of
government by Bavaria's most radi-
cal independent, DR.. Levin, has not
been without it's effect, as he Yields
a wide influence in certain radical
circles.
