Religion Can Be Bond Or Wall Price Says
Religion can change a marriage in the home. It can bind the husband and wife closer together or it can build a thick wall between them, the Rev. Edwin Price, director of the Wesley foundation, said Thursday, in the third lecture on love and marriage.
The basic accomplishment of a Christian marriage is a spiritual outlook and an intelligent togetherness. This is especially true when the man and woman are of the same faith.
Barriers often arise in a marriage of a man and woman of two different faiths. In the case of medical care, the man might want to call a doctor while the woman would want to follow her religion and call a Christian scientist.
Finance, the use of leisure time, and sex are three principles which are important in married life. Money can be a good or bad influence depending upon the couple's attitude toward the use of it. The leisure time can be used creatively or worthlessly depending upon the individual. Sex can be as base or as beautiful as is the couple's attitude toward it.
"If human love is employed as the highest symbol of divine love, then it has a place in divine economy," he said.
"It is possible to overcome the barrier of different religions" he said. "The couple can have a civil ceremony, to eliminate the difference of marriage ceremonies, the man or the woman can give up one religion, or the couple can make an agreement which they will follow in their married life."
Club Plans Radio Service
The Amateur Radio club will soon make it possible for students to radio messages anywhere in this country or abroad. Boxes will be placed at various points on the campus so students may write messages for broadcasting. Blank message forms will be in each box.
Members of the Radio club broadcast the messages to other amateur radio clubs in other cities, who relay the messages to the person being contacted in that city. Messages to foreign countries must be made directly over the air by the persons wishing to contact each other. In this way communication is much the same as talking on a telephone.
The Amateur Radio club was organized at the University in the spring of 1947. The club has 36 members. Membership is open to anyone interested in the technical aspects of radio. The main function of the club is to give members an opportunity for practical radio experience.
A radio room in the electrical engineering laboratory building houses the club's equipment. Money donated from the All Student Council has bought much of the equipment now in use.
Kappa Phi, Methodist women's club, will have its annual Christmas meeting tonight at the First Methodist church. The theme is "The Light of Christmas."

Holds Christmas Meeting
A portion of the program will be a memorial service for Frederika Ekblad, who was killed in a motor car accident during the Thanksgiving vacation. She had been a member of Kappa Phi for a year. The meeting will be at 7 p.m.
'Noodnik' Turner May Advertise
Overheard in the Sour Owl office:
"Haw! Haw! Haw!" (Don't forget.)
"No, but it's got social significance."
"We'll use it. Now—"
"How's the contest going?"
"O.K., but we ought to tell everybody time's running short."
"I'll ask Lana Turner to run nude around the campus, shouting out pertinent details at the top of her voice."
"Yeah. Ask her to cry out 'Hand in all manuscripts for the Sour Owl contest at the Journalism building or mail them to P.O. Box 517! Deadline December 13th! $20 in prizes!" That is, if she agrees."
"O.K. Now what do you think of this joke?"
"Well, it's a little clean, but . . ."
Talk Club Signs Spy Author
Kurt Singer, author of books on espionage, will be the January speaker in the spring series of lectures to the Talk of the Month club. Mr. Singer's latest book is "Three Thousand Years of Espionage."
The Talk of the Month clubs are organized yearly by Harry Stroud, Sr., of Independence, under Guy V. Keeler, director of the University Extension lecture and concert bureau. Persons can become members only in pairs. This is required in order that a better understanding of the latest information on world problems can be had by a man and his wife.
The club has one nationally known speaker a month. Each night he speaks to a club in a different town.
Lt. Gen, Raymond S. McLain, chief of information for the U.S. army, will speak to the Coffeville and Independence clubs next week.
Other lecturers for the spring series will include Luther Gable, a scientist whose subject will be "Scientific Developments and Their Effect on International Relations;" Gregor Ziemer, educational director of New York City's Town Hall; and Stephen Osusky, former Czechoslovakian ambassador to France who is now a teacher at Colgate university.

KU's Jayhawk Evolved From Irishman's Good Imagination
If folk-lore is correct the original Jayhawker was a man named Pat Devlin.
Early one morning in 1856 a horse and rider entered the free state settlement of Osawatomie bearing clothes, furniture, and other valuables. The man, Pat Devlin, had been over in Missouri plundering the towns of some pro-slavers who had earlier $ \textcircled{1} $
The word Jayhawk is believed to be a combination of the blue jay, a noisy, aggressive thief that delights in robbing the nests of smaller birds, and the sparrow hawk, a killer of birds, rats, mice, and rabbits.
sacked some Kansas towns. When asked what he had been doing he issued the now famous statement, "Oh, I bane jayhawkin' over in Missouri."
Because of the masty nature of these birds the term "Jayhawks" along with the nickname "red legs" was tacked to a band of Kansas free state fighters. The name however, was also attached to other guerilla groups of both Kansas and Missouri. It seems that when any band was organized for evil intent they were soon dubbed Jayhawks.
It is not known why the name finally became applied only to Kansas unless it was the fact that Kansas, at this time before the Civil War, was nationally known as the center of disturbances and unrest.
As the first Jayhawker, Pat and his burdened horse have somehow evolved into the shoe-wearing bird of the present with the red and blue feathers.
The Kansas Jayhawk first came into University life in 1884 after he had assumed some more honorable traits. A yell was originated consisting of, "Rah, Rau, Jayhawk, K.U!." This was the father of the now great yell, "Rock chalk, Jayhawk, K.U!"
By the 1890's the expression Jayhawk was being applied to the athletic teams of the University, but there was still no public conceptions of what a Jayhawk looked like. This happened in 1903 when a Kansas City Journal artist pictured the K.U. football team as a bird flying away with victory after they had beaten Missouri.
Topeka. Dec. 3—(UP)—Brig. Gen.
Milton R. McLean, Kansas selective
service director, said today the January draft quota for the state has been cut in half, from 257 to 129 men.
After that year Jayhawks appeared in various shapes and forms; long-legged and short-legged, fat and lean, arrogant and meek, and with or without shoes. Henry Maloy, a student in 1911, began drawing his conception of the Jayhawk for the Daily Kansan. Maloy's creation had spindly legs with work shoes on his feet, a large beak and large eyes and soon became accepted as "the" Jayhawk.
Jayhawk of the present time have shorter legs than those of Maloy's The duck-like figure we know today was evolved in 1922.
The Jayhawk has come a long way since old Pat Devlin and is no longer a symbol of disturbances and disorder, but of progress and power.
January Draft Quota Cut One-Half
Milton Nigg in 1914 immortalized the bird when he made plastr of paris statuettes of the Javhawk.
WEATHER
The reduction was in line with a national paring of the January selective service call because of military finance limitations.
Kansas—Generally fair today and tonight. Slightly warmer southeast today and northeast tonight. Tomorrow mostly cloudy with rain northwest by afternoon. Colder west tomorrow. High today in 50's. Low tonight 35 to 42.
Santa Parade Is Tomorrow
The University marching band will lead the annual Christmas parade at 11 a.m. tomorrow, as Santa Claus makes his first appearance of the year in Lawrence.
A contest is being held in all the grade schools to select a "Mr. and Mrs." who will ride in the parade in new cars furnished by the New Car Dealers' association.
Santa will throw bubble gum to all the children from his "Three Wise Men" float. Frank Hagenbuch, Lawrence businessman, will play the part of Santa.
Other floats will be sponsored by the V.E.W., the Lawrence Recreation commission, Business and Professional Women's club, Liberty Memorial High school, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Salvation Army, M. R. Gill Real Estate agency, and Brown's Togervy.
Eight other bands will march in the parade, including the grade school combined bands, junior high school band, Liberty Memorial High school band and the Haskell institute band. Visiting bands will come from Horton, Bonner Springs, and Perry High schools.
The chairman of the parade committee is George W. Noland, '36.
ASME Will Confer Here
