But Will It Run?
By Daniel Bishop, St. Louis Star-Times
Governor Carlson's decision to carry the ball for a University band trip to the Orange bowl has amazed and gratified a lot of students, alumni, and Kansas boosters all over the state. If the governor is successful, as he must be if he is not to lose tremendous prestige in the venture, the campaign will have been saved from the horns of a dilemma.
Dilemma Solved
Before the governor took over, the problem stood like this:
Band trip promoters found themselves unable and unwilling to raise money without a University OK, but administration would give no OK unless the money was in sight and an agency willing to handle the campaign.
With Governor Carlson pledging his active leadership chances for a University band trip to Miami appears much brighter.
Thus, the only solution was for some outside agency to take over with or without the cooperation of the University and raise the money. The only outside agency with enough prestige to do the trick unaided proved to be the governor himself.

There Is A Santa
Members of Phi Kappa fraternity felt the warm glow of true Christmas spirit Sunday afternoon when they entertained at their chapter house 70 needy children of Lawrence.
Business Manager ... John Bergstron
Complete with Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and presents, the occasion was as much a joy to the men and their adult guests as it was to the children.
For two hours the house was a delightful bedlam of surprises for squealing, squirming children. They and their hosts enjoyed every minute of it. Through the thoughtfulness of their hosts, the children were reminded that Christmas does exist. Other organizations could well follow in like projects next season.
The council of foreign ministers in London ended Monday with Russia demands the same as they had been last spring at the council's Moscow session. The Soviet position was presented in a written statement Dec. 8, by Foreign Minister Molotov.
'Doctor' Russia
Political Scramble
Mr. Molotov asked for four-power
National Republican and Democratic officials have agreed to go 50-50 on the expense of preparing a Philadelphia hall for their national conventions there next summer. They could save expense, get about the same results, and have more glorious confusion if they'd just hold both conventions at the same time.
The only trouble with such a plan is that too many would get confused and wind up in the opposite party. The liberals of the Republicans would get together with the liberals of the Democrats. Soon the conservatives would find themselves on the other side of the hall. First thing you know, presidential candidates would be asked to state their views on such things as inflation controls and aid to Europe.
That would never do, because it's candidates must be chosen by hotel room deals and wild convention floor parades. To choose on basis of what the candidate thinks about national issues would be nothing short of heresy.
Yes, it's a good thing to make sure the two conventions are well separated. Twould indeed be embaras-
control of the Ruhr (which would give Russia veto power over that area), the voiding of the British and United States fusion of their zones in western Germany, and $10 billion in reparations.
It was the demand for reparations from stricken Germany that deadlocked the council. As sources for the money, Mr. Molotov listed factories, German foreign assets, and goods from current production. The Soviet delegation demanded that all German production be diverted into reparation immediately, and that, until the debt is paid, no production be used for German domestic consumption or foreign trade.
The United States and Britain are trying to help Germany to recover to the point where it is self-sustaining. Russia's demand that we aid while she collects war damages is a stupendous proposition. Before any debts are collected from Germany, that country must be placed on its feet.
Russia's insistence on $10 billion from broken Germany is like a doctor demanding that his moribund patient get out of bed and earn his fee. Not until the patient is fully recovered can he begin to pay the doctor bill.-Biloine Whiting.
