STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Religious Group To Meet At KU During Holidays
Between 2,000 and 2,500 delegates will be in Lawrence during the holidays to attend the 15th quadrennial North American Student Conference on Christian Frontiers. Congressman Walter Judd, Dr. John R. Mott, and Robert E. Spear will be the main speakers and leaders of the conference which begins Dec. 27 and closes with a New Year's Eve party.
The center of the conference will be the Union. All offices of conference leaders will be there. The public address system will be used to announce meetings, and to keep delegates informed.
A conference newspaper will be published daily in the journalism building. Y.M.C.A. coke bars will be set up in the Union, Frank Strong hall, and the Military Science building, and the Union fountain will remain open. The cafeteria will serve meals to the conference delegates.
The conference will be organized like a school with classes, tutorial groups, and seminars taking the place of large assemblies.
"The quadrennial is to be first and foremost, a missionary conference." Rev. Charles W. Thomas, director of the work in Lawrence, said. It is sponsored by the United Christian Council and the Foreign Mission Council.
Approximately 50 K.U. students under the direction of Mrs. Christine Akford, Y.W.C.A. secretary, will work at the conference. They will meet delegates at train and bus stations, conduct tours of the campus, act as instructors, and take part in the meetings.

Year. The entire University staff

Sunnyside Parody Tops K.U. Hit Parade
Residents of Sunnyside, both past and present, will no doubt appreciate this little ditty, written by Helen C. Telelf, College junior.
Since it was presented at a University club show Wednesday and at the Newcomers' club dinner Thursday, several persons have requested a copy of the words. It is sung to the tune of "O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum," and of "O Maryland, My Maryland."
O SUNNYSIDE, O SUNNYSIDE
O Sunnyside, O Sunnyside
How we love thee, Sunnyside.
We love thy floors' unvarnished light
We love thy doors, that fit so tight,
We love our neighbors' daily fight,
O Sunnyide, O Sunnyside.
O Sunnyide, O Sunnyside.
How we love thee, Sunnyside.
We may scoff, complaints are free,
Without thy roofs, where would we be?

Truman Asks $17 Billion For Marshall Plan
Washington — (UP) — President Truman today asked congress to authorize a $17,000,000,000 recovery program to help 16 non-communist European nations withstand Soviet "totalitarian aggression" and assure the security of the United States.
In a 9,000-word message on the Marshall plan, Mr. Truman told the house and senate that the 51-month program was a vital step in United States efforts to prevent World War III. He requested an initial appropriation of $8,800,000,000 for the first 15 months.
Comparative cost: 5 per cent of World War II; less than 3 per cent of national income during life of the program.
Other salient facts on the Marshall plan as outlined by President Truman are:
Administration: By a new government agency—the economic cooperation administration.
Effect on U. S.: Some self-sacrifice and possibly some inflationary pressures.
Conditions on American help: Recipient countries must sign two-way agreements with the United States, and multi-lateral pacts among themselves, pledging a cooperative effort for their mutual recovery. Any other European countries may join in later if they agree to adhere to those conditions.
Mailmen Will Vote For This Scheme
Countries involved; Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, The United Kingdom, and the western zones of Germany.
Are you wondering how you'll ever get your Christmas cards addressed and mailed in time? Here's a possible solution to your problem.
Every member of the department of design made an original Christmas card addressed to every member of the department. All the cards were posted on a display board on the third floor of Frank Strong. A large sign says "Mcrrie Christmas to one and all, from all of us."
Topeka Alumni Honor K U Football Team, Cosches
Instead of checking the mail box twice a day and standing in line at the post office, students in the department take a long look at the board and their Christmas rush is over.
The football squad and 350 alumni and friends of the University attended the football banquet at Topeka Thursday night.
Coach George Sauer was the main speaker. Gov. Frank Carlson and E. C. Quigley, athletic director, also spoke. Pictures of the Missouri-Kansas game were shown to the squad again.
