★ Letters to the Editor
A recent letter from a nurse relates the birth of a tiny baby. Almost two thousand years ago another baby was born, a baby that barely escaped the wrath and sword of a pitiless ruler and grew into manhood to teach peace and forgiveness to all mankind. Partial to all, wicked and pious alike, this Man went the length and breadth of the land to show others how to love, how to forgive, and, above all, how to believe in the Great Savior. Yes, He was truly great, but He died the excruciating death of crucifixion. For what? For Christianity and for all the things for which it stands.
Examine the nations of today: France is gone, crumbled within herself. Poland and Czechoslovakia have been swallowed by the dragon of the Swastika. The Greeks fell under the shell of the once-great Roman Empire, and are now starving, England, having withstood the hammer-blows of Hitler, is retaliating in kind. North and South America have sent their sons to all corners of the world to kill and be killed. Will they stop fighting, stop killing their fellow man, long enough to kneel and remember the most sacred of all birthdays? A moot question.
Where are the Christian principles that Christ died for? Yes, where are they? They are right here, all about us, the Americans. We have but to look around, lift a leaf or two, and there they are, as ready for our acceptance as Christ was for the cross. We need merely to open our eyes to see the best defense program ever planned: Christianity.
That tiny baby—he will not be threatened with early and horrible death. He need not cringe and be ashamed if his frail, warped body will never carry a gun. Nor will he die on the gory cross of legalized murder that modern warfare has become. He will live and grow as an American and a Christian.
Student Will Have Law Trial Tomorrow
The student trial, the case of Ara Bartholomew vs. Continental Casualty Company, will be held at 1:30 tomorrow in the courtroom of Green hall by the University School of Law. P. M. Viesselman, professor of law, will be the judge.
The case concerns the suit of Mrs. Bartholomew for indemnity for the illness of her husband who was injured by steam from a locomotive.
Comora MacGregor, first year law, will act as Mrs. Barbaraolomew and Bob Barton, first year law, will act as the claim agent for the insurance company.
A nationwide bayonet exercise, sponsored by the Japanese Students Athletic Association, was held on the isle of the rising sun recently. Premier Tojo contributed a trophy to "encourage the spirit of students under wartime conditions."

Clipped from "Major and Miner"
The "light bulb" or "honey" type of girl on the campus is like the middle ring of a three-ring circus. Almost all attention is focused on her. Either knowingly or unknowingly, she radiates her personality operations! She thinks she is a shining member of society because she works "collectively." Despite all this she is usually a fine sort of girl.
"Will" Thackery was probably thinking of this last type when he penned. "Man is destined to be prey to women."
German professors have been made department heads at the University of Riga in Latvia.

YULETIDE VESPERS---
An innovation will be the introduction this year of Christmas hymns to be sung by the audience between the four tableaux. Four tableaux depicting scenes from the Nativity are being worked out by the departments of design and of drawing and painting.
A free will offering for helping talented and needy students in fine arts will be taken during the afternoon's program.

Among the grievances are the shortening of holidays, unauthorized rulings on dances and campus parking, assumption of control of the student activity fee, failure to consult with the Joint Committee on Student Affairs, and the removal of campus recreational facilities and the accompanying denial of downtown facilities.
The Council has emphasized that it is not so much what has been done that provoked the resolution, but the way in which it was done. An editorial in Friday's Kansan explained more fully the Council's list of complaints.
The committee's statement follows:
"For the past several years, stua voice in decisions affecting students have been increasingly denied dent welfare. This curtailment of student democracy can only result in the eventual lowering of student morale and in the loss of student support of the University.
"To prevent this, the special Committee of the Men's Student Council will go before the Chancellor early next week with a constructive proposal for active student participation in the government of the

Sedentary students took advantage of the enforced inactivity to conduct their business and conversations over the telephone. Telephone calls in Lawrence for an hour jumped from an average of 2000 to 6000.
Extraordinary Human Drama is grippingly depicted in the Loew-Lewin screen version of Somerset Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence," now for 5 days at the Granada theatre. George Sanders, the star of the film, is shown here with the three women in his strange life—Elena Verdugo, Doris Dudley and Molly Lamont.

Hurt's resignation, following closely upon the induction of Wayne "Bill" Replogle, Freshman coach, into the navy, leaves the veteran Gwinn Henry, the only member of the football coaching staff at the University.
Of Hurt's resignation, Chancellor Malott said: "It is with great regret that the University athletic corporation loses, with the expiration of his present contract, the services of Vic Hurt. He has made a host of friends among all of us on Mt. Oread."
