Congress Against Cut of War Debts
European Obligations Total $12,000,000,000;
Should Be Paid
Washington, Dec. 1, (UPI)—President members of Congress tonight indicated strong opposition to any war debt settlement that involved reduction of the European obligations which total more than $120,000–900,000. All authority for new settlement rests in Congress.
First reactions on Capitol Hill to overtures from France and reports that Britain may also seek negotiations was one of cynicism due to the defaults of all nations except Finland.
Vice-President John N. Garner conferred with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morganthan, JR, but both denied they discussed the issue on a separate basis to comment on the French proposal. He has been against war debt
He has been against war debt reduction in the past.
Representative John J. O'Connor New York, one of the house leaders saw "no sentiment" in Congress for residuition of the debt.
"They would have to put the money on the line or we wouldn't be interested," he said.

NUMBER 57
Many of the Freshman Froliers are very nervous. Few of the men have decided whether they should send corsages to their ladies or not. Emily Post might well have written that answer in her book, but answered in answer to such a question "Forget your conscience and let your pocket-book be your guide." Someone has suggested that wearing a corsage while dancing to Fletcher Henderson's swing music was a way to wear a derby in a football game.
The readers might be interested to learn that Reginald Heap, coeditor of this column in the earlier issue of Weatherweek and about. Bill Doddridge received a telegram last week from the extramission man asking for a loan of five dollars. Hoep sent the telegram to Mr. Doddridge, who reported that the weather was fine.
Tarzan of the Apes has little or nothing on Johnny Green of the Delta Tau house. The former, as the reader may know, has slain various and sunday birds by brushing them off with a clothel. The latter slew a "possum Sunday night with a two-by-four while slated in a top-count. After hearing Green's cry of victory several of the lads from that house killed the animal, he wondered whether the animal was dead or just "playing" "possum." Joe Brooks performed a post mortem on the poor defenseless creature by jumping upon his prone form. The result was that the man, who had been carrying the DTS have found it necessary to recruite some extra house-men.
Several of the local photographers have announced a great increase in business since the rotograve section of this paper came out yesterday and the bodies are overly anxious to have their pictures among those appearing in the brown section which will accompany this sheet every Sunday. Not only would the publicity be better, but the picture could mail the paper home so that their parents might know they are still in school.
Campusing penalties as enforced by most of the sorority houses are quite a joke. Two of the Pi Phi pledges who were camped a while back called the Phi Delt house telling two of the boys there that an escape could be effected if the lads in question would be on hand. Receiving an answer in the affirmative the evening was spent sparring gilies were gallantly dug through one house of the Pi Phi on their return. Our sparrow said that he didn't know who the girls were but that they couldn't have been Coats and Siew art as it wasn't a bay window.

'Pbog' Allen's Statement:
The football season is now over and the University Daily Kansas editorial staff of the past fall can do no more harm to the Kansas Varsity Football team with their unfair and inane criticism. To this editorial staff must go the major credit for the team's early debacle.
The Kansan Board cannot bury their mistakes. Their ghosts haunt them.
Their early printed criticism was leveled against what they termed incompetent football coaching.
They now shift their untenable position and declare that the fault is in the system of direction and supervision of athletics.
The football coaches have had every possible aid and cooperation from the Director of Athletics.
We are now starting our basketball season and we invite our bathtub-radio Galahads with the flaming pen of fair play plus undeniable school spirit to hop onto us with both feet. We will answer them with a cooring team—answer them with deeds not words.
If the postman stopped to kick at every dog that barked he would never get his mail delivered.

Chris Columbus and G. Washington To Be Highlights of Freshman Frolic
Mr. Roosevelt said that if the nations of the new world could carry through such a program, they, as constitutional democratic nation, might mean to equip the high men with their liberating fathers and set an example for all the world.
Hope in Democracy
"Democracy is still the hope of the world," stressed Mr. Roosevelt. "If we and our generation can continue its successful application in the Americas it will spread and superseize other methods by which men are governed and which seem to most of us to run counter to our ideals of human liberty and human progress."
The present conference cannot accept a defeatist attitude", he said, "because it carries the hopes of millions of human beings in the other fortunate landes. War, no matter where it is, cannot harm them." He has pointed out.

Discuss Plans For Co-op Store At Joint Meet
Committee Appointed By Student Governing Bodies To Investigate Possibilities
All but one member of the W.S.G. A, and a group of members of the Men's Student Council that almost adopted a quorum, in joint session last night elected a committee of seven persons to investigate the pos- tion of the University organization of a co-operative book store for the University.
The discussion was opened with the statement by Ruth Learned, president of the W.S.G.A, to the effect that any suggestions as to the organization of such a store would necessarily come from the M.S.C., as the W.S.G.A was at present operating a book exchange.
John Phillip, president of the M.S.C., outlined the results of investigations of other co-operative book stores and made suggestions for the organization and operation of one on this campus.
Three Advantage
Phillips pointed out that there were three distinct advantages to the operation of such a store here. They are: first, with the facilities of the Memorial Union building at its disposal, such a store would have no housing problem; second, most publishing companies will sell to such book stores at a regular rate; third, a co-operative store would work on a non-profit basis and thus enjoy a greater student patronage.
He said that most such stores in successful operation in other universities follow one of three plans. Some sell at a flat percentage discount from the list price. Others make a lump percentage refund for a series of purchases, which is often slipped to the value of the discount, such as to be acceptable as cash in all business houses in the city. He suggested that the latter plan would do much in securing the support of Lawrence merchants for the project.
The possibilities of the benefits a co-operative book store could bring to the students is unlimited. The store could deal not only in new and used books, but in all manner of supplies as well. The store also could provide educational materials with a decided saving for these students, as well as handling college textbooks. Phillips said, in outlining the desirable features of the plan. Methods of financing and the extent of their impact also were discussed with other phases of the organization. Phillips suggested that the combined councils might approach the Union operating committee with the proposal that that body finance the store and operate it with a capital investment was repaid with interest, when the store would come under purely student management.
Unlimited Benefit
Committee Chosen
After an open discussion of the plan, the joint session chose a con-
stitute consisting of John Malone, Phil Paul, Prof. L.
D. Jennings, John Phillips, Ruth
Lourned, Prof. Elise NeuenSchwander,
and Bill Cochrane, to investigate
the possibilities of the project.
To climax a session that had presented many somewhat awkward parliamentary situations throughout, the suggestion of the dance commitment, bodies pay one dollar each for admission to the Freshman Frowe was brought up for discussion, but after much pallor the M.S.C. discovered that it did have a quorum and voted on a separate consideration.
