Cash Plus Co-operation Spells Better Housing—
If the Housing committee is to function it must have money. It seems to us that it is one of the most important experiments for student bettirement that has been tried on the Hill in years.
If a student is to do his best work, it is imperative that he have the proper environment, especially in the home in which he lives.
The fact remains that the committee has been handicapped by lack of funds and it is estimated that it will require from $700 to $1,000 to put the proposed plan in operation for next year.
The plan had been put on a five-year basis, which is to say that houses will be inspected, recommendations made, and a minimum requirement set which must be met within a five-year period if the house still desires to operate. Requirements are reasonable and should meet the approval of all parties interested.
However, there is still the important problem of financing to be solved. The program has been financed this year on money that was given by the two student councils, an appropriation by the University, and by donations from the offices of the men's and women's student advisers and the hospital. Added to this was the money obtained from the inspection fees.
Landladies who have had the matter explained to them, have expressed approval generally, and students are beginning to respond favorably to the program. However, it is necessary that the students understand the program and co-operate, and if it can be explained to the persons who are operating room houses that in the long run the plan offers them a tangible reward it should not be difficult to carry through. In fact, it is with the landlady in mind that the committee is electing to put the program on a five-year basis so that financial difficulties will be minimized in putting the program over.
Kansas State College has a plan by which student compliance is mandatory. If a student lives in an unapproved house he is notified and, if after a reasonable length of time, he has not yet complied with requirements his name is automatically dropped from class rolls. Such a plan would be advisable here for while it seems an infringement upon individual rights, yet it is only by such a plan that full co-operation can be assured.
This is the third survey that has been made here in the past few years, and the best, we are informed. The work that has been begun can easily die if co-operation on the part of the students and financial backing by the University are not forthcoming. There is no doubting the value of the operation of such a plan both upon the student health and University standards. It is a matter of University concern.
Are we going to allow it to die?
Educational Aid In the Far East—
Dr. T. Z. Koo, prominent Chinese statesman and Christian, will speak tomorrow on Mount Oread as an advocate of the Far Eastern Student Emergency fund.
Chinese universities, partly because they are centers of what intellectual achievement China has attained, and more because they have for years been focal points of anti-Japanese sentiment, are suffering severely during the Japanese invasion.
As a result, 30,000 Chinese students are without the means of support or the physical equipment which can make education possible. The universities are being moved far into the interior, far out of reach of the invaders, and Chiang Kai-shek is co-operating by assuring the students that they, last of all, will be called to the trenches.
Japanese universities have had their activities drastically curtailed by the war though their needs are not nearly so great as those of Chinese schools. Therefore, in what is deemed an equitable distribution, 4 cents of every dollar collected will go to the aid of schools in Japan and the balance to those in China. Japanese students in attendance at the national assembly of Student Christian Association, at Oxford, Ohio, last Christmas, testified to the impartiality of this distribution.
But the government is not financially capable of building or equipping transplanted universities, and the World Student Christian Federation, represented by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., has undertaken this financial task. British universities have pledged $20,000 and America's Student Christian movement will raise $25,000.
Of the amount collected, 8 per cent is used for administrative purposes leaving 88 per cent of all contributions to be spent directly upon Chinese students and their universities. At the present rate of exchange, one American dollar is worth $3.40 in Chinese currency and will buy
a week's board for one student, one-third of a winter suit of clothes, or one-half of a semester's room rent.
Such a movement should by its very nature, be above any prejudices we may harbor for one side or the other, and is, we feel, deserving of the support of all American students.
A Grain of Salt May Make It Right
The popularity of Dale Carnegie's best-seller, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," attests to the wide fascination the subject holds for all of us. Getting along with others is of prime importance in this realistic world.
Mr. Carnegie's courses in New York and his recent book have hundreds of admiring students and readers. Yet the book must be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. Sinclair Lewis, in a rather unfavorable review of the book, said that one might become a Car-yessman instead of a Car-may-man by keeping too strict an adherence to the principles set forth in the best-seller. This holds an element of truth since the book advocates agreement at all times with one's fellows, be they right or wrong. Like Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Carnegie fears the results of positive assertions on the part of the speaker.
Sad would be the state of this world if such precepts had always been followed to the letter. Scientific progress has always arisen out of the disagreement between old and new ideas. But Mr. Carnegie probably knows this as well as the fact that no reader could or will follow his advice precisely.
And so the rules of popularity stand. Dale Carnegie, who speaks at the University Mon day night, is a working example of his principles.

Pink Dove Has Flown Eventful Course Since 1924
Distributor of
Collegiate Digest
By Kenny Lewis, c.39
After extended silence, the Dove, Campus "journal of liberal discussion," has again made its appearance. Hailed at its inaugural address in liberal opinion, both liberal and conservative," the Dove has shown a varied and erratic course since 1924.

Dissociated Collège Dross
Buffeted by gusts of adverse conservative criticism, its wings clipped by indignant student council demands, crippled financially until unable to fly for as long as two years at a time, the present issue gives inconvertible evidences of the little messenger's ultimate hardihood.
Dips Into Campus Politics
Nor has the Dove, judging from contemporary reports, ever been exactly the gentle, innocent bird which its name would indicate. It lost little time after its initial and relatively uneventful flight, in digging the spurs, which this paradoxical creature has from time to time exhibited, into the muck characterizing Campus politics. Of course it came up with a first-rate scandal which the influential law fraternities involved had more than a little trouble laughing down.

REPRESENTATION FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Advertising Service, Inc. **125 420 MADISON ST., NEW YORK, N.Y.** **CHICAGO**, BOSTON, **GAN FRANKLIN MARKETS**
Soon came the first indication of what was to prove the Dove's most pernicious snare. The Men's Student Council threatened to bar the bird from the Campus unless it allowed its finances to be supervised by the student auditor. Naturally the Dove's spokesmen were leary of what they considered the censorship implied in this plan. The Dove managed to evade the fowler this first time by turning its slight "financial business" over to the University business office.
Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
Articles and even entire issues devoted to religion characterized the journal during its early years. In 1926, for instance, we read in the Kansan that "after their regular business the Dove staff sang several hymns, including 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul,' and 'When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.'" Since this was before the days of Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling's "Red Network," the singing of the latter song probably carried little contemporary significance. Lewis Contributes
That same year the Student Council again entered the picture by finding the Dove staff $10 for failing to have an issue passed by the student auditors. The penalty, however, was more than compensated for by a bill of $300 from Sinclair Lakes, who had been interested in the paper.
Besides Lewis, the Dove from time to time received articles and support from numerous other figures of national importance. Among them were Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver's juvenile court experiment, who wrote "A Plea for Fremkink: H. L. Coyle," in The New York Sinclair. Prominent faculty contributed included Prof. Allen Crafton and Prof. John Ise.
Subject for Campus Debate
In May, 1927, the Dove was the subject of the first Campus Problems debate ever held at the University. The question was, Resolved: That the Dove should be abolished from the Campus. The audience voted as judges, and the publication was vindicated by a vote of 45 to 35. The Dove's only competitor, the Hawk, had appeared in February of
that year. Distributed free, by the grace of advertising paid for by Lawrence business men, the newcomer survived but a single issue. A year later, the Dove published a heated tribute against the University. Curiously enough, no mention of this can be found in the Kansan files.
In November, 1936, the local chapter of the American Student Union voted down a proposal to sponsor the publication, and its friends again feared its demise. But last fall the paper once more appeared independently with a memorial issue for Don Henry, former University student killed while fighting with Loyalists in Spain.
Suicide-father gave no substantial evidence that the girl was murdered.
Continued from page 1
Clarence Davis, 742 Lyons street, North Lawrence, testified of discovering the body of the girl about 6:30 am. Saturday morning as it hung over the neck with a coat belt tied to a hog-wire fence in Bismarck Grove.
Police Officers Testify
Officers Ralph Hubbel and Lilburn Dowens testified to being called to the scene as was Undersheriff George Price. The polismen explained there was no sign of struggle around the body. She was suspended in a way that her knees did not touch the ground. Her hands were in her coat pockets and her feet were behind her. Price also testified that there were found in three shots of the girl's stab-wheel and one of her shoes fitted the marks. Lines on the sole of the shoe matched those of the tracks. There were no other trucks visible, he said.
Dr. H. Penfield Jones, county physician, testified to the jury that it would be possible for a person to strangle without leaving any evidence of struggle or violence behind. If a person once made up her mind to take her life, it would be possible for her to suffer spasmodic movements might not make marks around the location of Miss Stuart's death.
Walter Howe, a garage employee, testified that he had driven across the Kaw river bridge about 7:30 Friday night and had noticed a girl who answered to the description of Miss Stuart standing on the south end of the bridge looking over the rail. About ten minutes later as he drove back she was still standing there.
Filinino Draws Interest
The outstanding interest of the inquest centered around the testimony of Pedro Leano, b'umel, Filipino student, who is thought to be the last person to talk to the girl. He admitted that there was a close friend who had been dating her art and that he had been dating her since about December. He said her father had objected to his attention and that she told him Friday night in the library that she must not see him anymore for "her life would mean nothing to her father if she did not comply with his or-
Minister Aided Girl
He said they parted at Fourteenth and Oread and he did not see her again. "I went to supper at the Blue Mill about 7 o'clock and then to my
--room at 1213 Vermont street where I remained the rest of the night." The Rev. H. Lee Jones, Unitarian Church pastor, at whose home Lemo resided, said the boy came in about 8 o'clock, listened to the broadcast of a prize fight and worked day night in his room type-writing.
Flowers. . .

The Reverend Jones also testified that Miss Stuntard had come to him several times for help when she was in a depressed mental state. She was a very shy girl and had to be upgrated to make social contacts. He would have been better to end her life since she was no unhappy. Reverend Jones testified that when she came back from the Christmas vacation she had burns on her face and had con-fessed to him they were caused from a caribbean acid bottle being poured into her by her father Clubmate Testifies
Henley Whitcomb, c38, member of Miss Sturt's young club's club at the Unitarian church, testified at that for some reason Mildred was an unhappy girl. She said that the girl had liked Lonnie, but had never told her that she was in love with her. When they met in quarrels but appeared very moody and often they had gone to the show to relieve Miss Sturt's troubles.
Miss Annie Moore, 1336 Tennessee, Mildred's landlord, said the fact that the girl did not return home on her wedding day, and that the girl often went home on
weekends and had signified her intentions of going that afternoon.
Another witness was Don Hultz, justice of peace, who was called to act as coroner in the absence of Dr. Zimmer. After viewing the body Saturday morning at the mortuary, and after talking with the officers who were called to the scene where the body was found, he filled out the death certificate, stating death was by strangulation, self-inflicted.
