‘Giving’ Is Most Blessed
With Barrage of Pre-
Vacation Tests
More ttersley speaking, students are happy because they are leaving for more than two weeks of vacation but they fail to see the gracious spirit behind his "mini-quizzes and over-the-holidays assignments.

4. 000 Will Leave
Their leave of absence will be for two weeks, ending on Monday, Jan. 21 when classes will be resumed. All regular Friday classes, and special Saturday morning sessions in some schools and departments will be held.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive," says an old proverb. Yea, an old. And even so do the professors of ye olden Mount Oread hold this tenet near and dear to their hearts.
Preliminary to dispatching University studies and students homeward to joyous holiday cheers, not a few of these disciples of light and truth are giving their holiday presents in the form of exams and quizzes which will, no doubt, be seriously revealing.
And the fact that students are leaving for home presents a problem. It is a well-known fact that the University Daily Kanans is ever alert to its share toward the solution of Campus problems (adv). The situation is this: There will be a great migration of more than 4,000 students to all points through the country. Modes of travel this weekend are factors that must be considered—if aforementioned persons

ON THE SHIN

"Nor let them then resolve for

To do the things they really ought!

There I go quoting myself again
egistological fellow that I am. How-
soever, it is a strikingly beautiful
quotation and one which I have repeat
them. What what I am sure is
pardonable pride ever since I wrote
it two minutes ago.
It will serve as the text for today's dissertation as soon as we have made a note to take home my student directory in case someone sends me a Christmas card, thereby making it more likely to send them a New Year's card.
And speaking of New Year's resolutions, as if I really was, it occurs to me that maybe some of my sterling suggestions will be of much value to those who need to do a little resolving.
Now take Fred Littoy for instance. Fredd should resolve not to do any more writing for the Jay. He should also did for the current issue. He should

Washington, D. C., Dec. 15—(UP)—Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, today eliminated himself from the Chicago mayoral race in a statement endorsing President Rosevelt for a third term.
A liberal group headed by professor Hall H. Douglas of the University of Chicago had chosen lcies for their candidate for mayors in the belief that the aggressive fiery tongued new dealer is qualified to give the city the "civic housecleaning it needs."
Rusco Visits University
It is believed that Joseph P. Kennedy, United States ambassador to England, may project a payment plan for Great Britain when he returns here for the holidays and to confer with President Roosevelt: Recent dispatches from London indicated that Britain had made overdue payments in doubt, whether the American people would accept a token payment, such as the British foreign office reportedly proposed.
J. Rusco, '28 was in Lawrence yesterday and sang with the Kansas Campus Karolers last night. He was publisher of the University Daily at it pro-activity is at its executive secretary of the Kansas Press Association.
He declined with regrets
He said that Mr. Roosevelt had asked him to remain in the cabinet and that after consultation and deliberation he was convinced that his presence in Washington would do more to help the President's cause than by easing lot with the Chicago reform movement.
The dispatches indicated that Britain was anxious to reopen American capital markets which are closed by the Johnson act which prohibits loans or credit to delinquent nations.
Ickes Declines Mayorality Race
University Student Is Ex-Vaudeville Magician
Last summer he was given a setback when his truck and a large amount of stage equipment caught fire. Despite his seemingly invincible powers, the Mighty Mahoney was unable to conquer the flames. He has been rebuilding his stock of tricks since then, and once again has a large and varied assortment.
Since first enrolling at the Universally this September, Barnay has been performing improps, wizarily at the expense of his follow inmates at Campus house, and Wednesday evening he gave a half hour program of parler magic after the house's annual Christmas dinner.

Ramsey is a well-polished exponent of the art of pulling rabbits and things from hats, and in one semester on the Hill he has taught his associates to be on the look-out for anything from what he was thinking. He whisked from their backs to having dollar bills disappear in thin air.
If you are around Robert Ramsey, "curel, very long you will very likely come to the conclusion that "seeing is not believing."
Hansey began his avocation (as he prefers to call it) when he put on a short demonstration of slight- of-hand at his eightth grade graduation exercises. Since then he has been practicing his art continually, building up a large repretence of illusions and perfecting his performances until they now fairly halle his audiences.
For a year and a half Ramsey was booked on a vaudeville circuit, dispensing his "black magic" under the title "The Mighty Mahoney". He modestly confides that it rhyms with "The Chance" but him cut a man's necktie into little pieces and then restore it, we'll stamp him as the real McCoy.
The mysterious one hails from Arkansas City, where he attended junior college two years and perished when his feet of legendary on the dawn.
NUMBER 65
In this, its last issue before the much anticipated Christmas vacation. The Daily Kansas desires to wish the audent body, members of the faculty, and friends of the University a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In the wake of shaking heads and exclamations of the "oh" and "oh' variety, he busily went about his work of making alarm clocks ring where they weren't, turning rice into water, and palling gobs and gobs of material from the well-known "no-where."
But his six of the evening came when he clipped his boss' crevat into a whole fatality of quilt pieces, had him crum them into a small bag, and then pulled out the necklec as good as new.
Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year
To You All
The expression, of course, is overworked. But still, genius has yet to supply a better phrase. So until a better idea well-string along with the well-in holiday well-whish-a-night.
Your Daily Kansan will next appear on Wednesday, Jan. 4.

Clasen and Torrence, who will receive the second pace award, achieved that position much a reward of themselves and their friends. They entered the tournament merely for a joke, having no hopes of getting past the first round. Both vow they never played together before the tourney and that they are unfamiliar with contract systems.
The tournament winners entered the final round by winning their semi-final match yesterday afternoon from LeRoy Fugitt, c.39, and Jim Sussex, c.39, Sussex and Fugitt, however, managed to extend the Beaver team to three rubbers, winning the only rubber taken from Tyler and Souders in the four days of play.

'TIL CHRISTMAS VACATION
Secretary Roper Resigns From Cabinet Position
- Secretary of Commerce
To Return to Private
Life; Hopkins Rumored
As Successor
Resignation of the 71-year-old South Carolinian, effective Dec. 23, comes less than 2 months after that of Attorney General Homer S. Cummings who will return to private law practice Jan. 1.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 15—(UP) - Secretary of Commerce, Daniel Calhoun Roper, second oldest member of President Roosevelt's cabin, today resigned his portfolio to return to private life leaving the Chief Executive two important cabinet posts to fill.
Roper's resignation, long rumored, was disclosed by the White House which made public an exchange of letters between the Secretary and Mr. Roosevelt, in which the President praised his successors in his role as members of the Wilson regime during World War daws.
Prominently mentioned as Ruper's successor was Works Progress Administrator Harry Hopkins but the White House gave no indication as to when or by whom the vacancy would be filled. Also the prospect is Richard C. Patterson, assistant secretary of commerce.
Considered by many an old school Democrat, Roper entered public life as a state legislator in South Carolina in 1892. He became a member of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet in 1933, ranking second in age only to Claude A. Swanson, secretary of the navy.
U. S. To Consolidate Peace Machinery
Lima, Peru. Dec. 15.—(UP)—Coordination of all peace machinery in the Western Hemisphere by the eighth Pan-American conference tonight was proposed in a project led by the United States delegation.
The United States' proposal aimed at elimination of duplication and the consolidation of efforts to banish war from the Americas would merge into a single institution providing provisions in existing peace treaties.
The provisions of the proposed treaty has been listed bodily from the pact and conventions for which it is proposed as a substitute.
The single treaty would remain in force indefinitely, but could be denounced on one year's notice to the Fan-American union in Washington. The denunciation would effect only the state taking such action, however, and not the pact effectiveness.
It is divided into four chapters, the first of which is devoted to the prevention of controversies, the second the recruitment of war, pacific settlements of controversies, commercial isolation; the third, good offices and mediation; and the fourth, arbitration.
Students Staying During the Holidays Will Be Entertained
It has often been said, by out-of-state students sojourning here during the holidays, that the Hill are dull places during vacations.
In an attempt to remedy the situation, the Union Young People's group will take the place of various church groups in providing social activities, such as carolling and skating parties for those individuals who must spend Christmas vacation here. The first will be a skating party Wednesday evening, Dec. 21.
Prof. E. C. Buehler of the department of speech will be the guest speaker at the forum meeting at the First Presbyterian church this Sunday evening at 6:30.
WEATHER
Kansas: Mostly cloudy and somewhat cooler today; tomorrow generally fair, colder in east and south portions.
