An unusual form of dance program will be introduced to serve as favors.
The entertainment between dan ces is made up of both campus and professional talent, including Max Mellenger, K.F.I. radio art. ist and a Trojan who has been engaged for several vocal numbers, tap dancers of professional fame and others. Kenneth Winebrenner, president of the School of Architecture, has been training a male chorus of dancing beauties for the Flora Dora Sextet, a feature of the evening.

French Collapse Is Purely Home Problem
Washington, Feb. 25—(INS)— While capital observers expressed great interest in news of the fail-lre of the Cliautemps Radical So-:ialist government of France, it ,vas generally assumed the collapse .vould not seriously affect the status >( the London Naval disarmament parley.
Leaders were loathe to express .ny opinion, declaring the French effort to choose a successor for the Tardieu government, purely a domestic problem, and that any interference from without would produce nothing but harm, and would be resented by the French people.
Administration leaders have adopted a policy of watchful wait-ng, realizing of course the iinport-.nce of a stable French government for a successful conclusion of tlle London parley. It was generally felt here, when the American delegates to the conference left for London, that the deliberations would consume several months, and the present French crisis, it was believed, would contribute but minutely to the delay.
