Groseclose, who is a candidate this June for the degree of master of arts, underwent some thrilling experiences in soviet prisons at Batum and Tifiis just before en- tering the university last fall. Mr. Groseclose was employed for more than a year in near east relief work, with headquarters in Tabriz, and on his way home through the Caucasus he incautiously provided himself with $100 in American_gold, which is contraband in soviet terri- tory. He was discovered by the soviet police, the Cheka, and arrested. Pbssibly he might have explained ession of the gold, but an Amer- Legion card he had with him did rot help his case much, and he had also with him his life insurance pol- icy. The soviet officials, not over- familiar with English, translated “policy” as having something to do with “police” and jumped to the con- clusion that he was a spy. As a con- equence he was thrown into prison at Batum and held incommunicado for some weeks. Later, strangely enough, he was taken by two soviet officials, who showed him' every cour- tes: by rail to Tiflis and was given excellent treatment on the train, only, at the end of the journey, to be cast'into a still less pieasant prison than the one at Batum.

There will be no farmers' day, which has been _an annual affair on or about May 30, for some years at the university, this spring. A crowd- ed schedule falling due in June, July and August and a late spring that has thrown the farmers of the state several weeks ‘behind in_their sea- sonal operations are the reasons as- signed. t is probable,” says Dr. Albert F. Woods, president of the university, in explaining the action of the au- thorities, “that farmers will be ex- ceptionaily busy during the latter part of May this year, owing to-the delay in plowing and planting neces- sitated by the cool, wet spring. Likewise we find that the various crops in the experimental plots at the institution, which farmers like to inspect, are backward in their de- velopment and will not be in the best stage for examination at the usual time. “A change in date was discussed, but because custom has established the day as an institution no change was deemed advisable. Crowding of Events. “The crowding of events also made calling off the event advisable. With Farmers' day scheduled there would elapse but a period of ten days before commencement, which ‘in_turn will be followed by the rural woman's short course, June 16 to 21. The fol- lowing Monday will nrark the open- ing of the summer school, which will continue through July into August, and this will be followed by a week for the boy and girl club members of the state. “In the place of Farmers' day one- day auto tours of farmers from sev- eral counties will be arranged.

TEhis was not so much the fault of the guards as of the prisoners themselves. Sud- denly, and without explanation, he was released one day from Tiflis and permitted to proceed on his_way.
