Congress Against Cut of War Debts
NUMBER 5
European Obligations
To All $12,000,000,000;
Should Be Paid
Washington, Dec. 1—(UP) - Prominent members of Congress tonight indicated strong opposition to any war debt settlement that involved reduction of the European obligations which total more than $210,000 — 000,000. All authority for new settlement rests in Congress.
Vice-President John N. Garner
vice-president with Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morganhau, Jr.
but both denied they discussed the war debt and Garner later refused to comment on the French proposal
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.
He has been against war deb reduction in the past.
Representative John J. O'Connor,
New York, one of the house leaders
saw "no sentiment" in Congress for
readjustment of the debt.
"They would have to put the money on the line or we wouldn't be interested," he said.

Many of the Freshman Frolicers 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 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 required, wearing 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 *Woman's Day* and about. Bill Doddridge received a telegram last week from the extraman man asking for a loan of five dollars. Heap sent the telegram and 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 shain varius and sundry animals by a johncloet. The latter slew a "possum Sunday night with a two-by-four while clad in a top-coat. After hearing Green's ry of victory several of the lads from that house to attack him, 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 prene form. The result was that the "possum" had 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 rotgrave section of this paper came online. They lend and issues and overly anxious to have their pictures among those appearing in the brown section which will accompany this sheet every Sunday. Not only would the students be interested, but they students 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 campused 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 them and the five the evening wished to see, the girls were gently aided through the windows of the Pi Phi house on their return. Our sparrow said that he didn't know who the girls were but that they couldn't have been Coats and Siewart as it wasn't a bay window.

Mr. Roosevelt received the reporters just prior to his departure for the opening session of the peace conference. It was one of his few activities up to the time of the parley's inaugural.

'Pbog' Allen's Statement:
The football season is now over and the University Daily Kansan 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.
They now shift their untenable position and declare that the fault is in the system of direction and supervision of athletics.
Their early open printed criticism was leveled against what they termed incompetent football coaching.
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 bath tub-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 coworking team—answer

The $4125 interest on stadium bonds will be paid today by the K.U. Athletic association it was on January 9, from the athletic office yesterday.
The six month payment represents an interest of $1% on bonds estimated at $150,000. The next semi-annual payment will be due the first of June. According to price data from a benchmark bond, it may be made on the principal this year.
The actual financial status of the athletic association will not be known until a report is received from the University of Missouri as to the Kansas share of the Turkey Day game. Payment of that game is expected to run between $0,000 and $7,000.
It is understood that Kansas footballrecords will be much less than in previous years. The biggestreceipts received by Kansas this year included three major games. State game played at Manhattanwhich amounted to $6,310.
Contest Opens For Potential Beauties
Entries are now being received for the K.U. beauty queen contest sponsored by the Jayhawk magazine.

Wichita Players Will Present Comedy Dec. 9; 'There's Always Juliet'
The Wichita Players, directed by George Wilmer, will bring "There's Always Juliet" to Fraser theater Wednesday evening Dec. 9. This production is based on Dutten and is based on the idea that love at first sight is not only possible but probable and as evidence the author points to the heroine of Shakespeare's romance "Romeo and Juliet" and her own title, "There's Always Juliet."
The play is the third dramatic attraction of the year offered by the department of speech and dramatic art. Because of four dramatic attractions previously planned for the activity book, it is not possible to offer this play on the ticket. Twenty-three hours of charge for a reserved seat. Ticket will be on Thursday in the Green hall ticket office.
The Wichita Players are conceded to be one of the foremost college theatrical groups in the state. They have recently built a new theater at Wichita University which is equipped with the newest lighting and scenic equipment, all of which is thought to be one of the best planned little theaters in the country.

Once a great hitter, O. Robinson Casey was playing with the Detroit team of the old National league, in 1885, when, in a crucial moment with the bases loaded, he struck out.
At the age of 78, "Mighty Casey at the Bat" struck out for the final time Saturday, when he died at Syracuse, N. Y.

Ernest L. Thayer, a reporter who was present, immortalized the occasion and the name of Casey when he wrote the famous poem "Casey Went Down" to describe the poem more dramatic by setting the scene in a baseball "flatbush" called "Mudville," with its crowd of fans just as rabid and just as ardent, but more small-townish and more world than those in the big league.
