Congress Against Cut of War Debts
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
European Obligations
T o t a l $12,000,000,000;
Should Be Paid
Washington, Dec. 1—(UPC) - Prominent 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—000,000. All authority for new settlement rests in Congress.
NUMBER 57
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.
Representative John J. O'Connor,
New York, one of the house leaders,
"nao sentiment" in Congress for
readjustment of the debt.
Vice-President John N. Garner conferred with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morganthan, Jr., but both demied they discussed the war debt and Garner later refused to comment on the French proposal. He has been against war debt reduction in the past.
"They would have to put the money on the line or we wouldn't be interested," he said.

Many of the Freshman Froilers 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 her answer in an interview, 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 music would be similar to wearing a sash in a football game.
The readers might be interested to learn that Reginald Heap, coeditor of this column in the earlier weeks of the, semester, is atill up and about. Dodd Dolderidge received a telegram last week from the extransm man asking for a loan of five dollars. Heap sent the telegram from San Diego 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 slain vampires by strength while clothed in a joincloth. The latter slew a "possum Sunday night with a two-by-four while clad in a top-coat. After hearing Green's cry of victory several of the lady's friends were determined to determine 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 reenactment now if not before and the D'Ta 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 that businesses 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 school district not bother but students could mail the paper home so that their parents might know they are still in school.
Camping penalties as enforced by most of the sorority houses are quite a joke. Two of the Pi Phi pledges who were camped on a 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 washed away and girls were gallantly added through one of the rooms 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 Coats and Siewart as it wasn't a bay window.

United States Will Not Join Geneva Group
The Chief Executive gave an emphatic "No" to a question whether his country would become a member of the Geneva organization, but does not mention on the possibility of a formation of an American League of Nations.
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. The sudden death of his personal bodyguard, August (Gus) Gormicher, the morning caused cancellation of entertainment planned in the President's honor.
The Dramatic Club has set up an "experimental laboratory," the purpose of which is to make the club more diverse by giving its members a more diversified and intensive training. This laboratory, composed of various members of the club, will present the year a series of programs.

Student members of the club are to be in the plays. They also will act in the capacities of stage crews, electricians, and electricians, and will be in charge of make-up and costumes.
"I hope," said Mr. Nuckles, "it be able to give each member in the club a chance to see each angle in production from the time the play is selected until it is finally presented."
The first production will consist of three one-act plays to be given before an invited audience. Thursday night. Ten will be served afterwards to permit the audience to meet the members of the club.

Business Graduates Work in 13 States
Cast of First Play
Three of these graduates are in business of their families and two in public school work. The remaining 84 are occupied in 32 different types of business, chiefly in accounting and administration, all in 13 different states. All four of the women graduates of the school are employed.
Sixty-nine of the 70 graduates of the School of Business last June either are engaged in some business field or still in school. The seventh man has failed to report to Frank T. Stockton.
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.
'Phog' Allen's Statement
The Kansan Board cannot bury their mistakes. Their ghosts haunt them.
Their early open 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 flaring pen of fair play play undeniable school spirit to hop onto us with both feet. We will answer them with a cooring team—answer

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 approached a quorum, in joint session last night elected a committee of seven persons, representing the needs and requirements of organization of a co-operative student book store for the University.
Editorial Comment
For the first time since its establishment the Nobel prize for peace goes to a man who really fought for peace. It goes to a man who stayed behind in his own country to face certain imprisonment because by doing so, "I would serve the cause of peace better."

"For Ready Use"
"The collection of fishes and reptiles is complete for the state of Kansas," reads the description of one of the many exhibits no longer to be seen in Dyche Museum.
After he had accepted it remained to the Nazis to perpetrate a most unbelievable farce. The press associations carried a story that Von Osissietzy, twice jailed by near-Fascists and Fascists, himself a Socialist, was going to donate the $40,000 to fight Communism in Norway.
"Both collections, preserved in liquid, are classified and catalogued for the "ready use" of students, and comprise more than 20,000 specimens. There are also over 2,000 skeletons of reptiles cleaned and articulated.
The prize came as expected. We can only imagine the pressure that was put on this pacifist to refuse. Newspapers even circulated reports that he had.
When incendiiaries, strongly suspected of being Nazis, sent the Reichstag up in smoke in 1833, Von Osseltzky was among the thousands picked up and immediately jailed. He was on "The List."
But the fishes and reptiles will continue to swim in their preservative baths and the skeletons and skins will repose in obscure corners of storage rooms far from the curious campus crowds until the funds are finally appropriated to restore the exhibits to the museum.
Why was this ghost who came out of three years of suffering given this award? Karl Von Otissietzky was an officer in the German army during the war. His years at the front made him a passionate opponent of militarism. Later, in civil life, he became editor of the Der Weltbuehne, a left-pacifist weekly in Berlin. Prior to the rise of Hitler he had been jailed by one of the numerous Rightist governments for publishing an article that revealed Germany's preparations in violation of the Versailles treaty for re-arming in the air. He was pardoned before his term was up.
numbered
Last week, shortly after leaving the hospital to convalescence, Von Ossietzky was notified that he had received the 1935 Nobel prize for his activity in behalf of peace. His government, which had so kindly placed him in "protective arrest," protested this "affront." It was distinctly chagrined that the committee had not made its usual choice of such martyrs for peace as Nicholas Murray Butler, Frank B. Kellogg, or Sir Austen Chamberlain.
And until a few months ago Ossitztky enjoyed the tender care of his brown-shirted jailers. Then anticipating the award of the prize, they freed this shell of a man.
Hero of Peace
When Von Ossietzky met that bed, he behind him the grey outline of that notorious Nazi institution, the Papenburg concentration camp. When he entered that camp he was a normally well man. Now his days are numbered.
A few weeks ago the Nazi government announced that it had released a sick man from jail. The jail was a hospital bed in Berlin. There Karl Von Ossietzky had lain since last July.

Editor Daily Kansan:
I take it for granted that you have dismissed "knocker" White's remarks with a grain of salt, especially after he endorsed "Phor" Allen's proposed solution to the present football set-up.
Although I have great respect for Mr. Allen personally, I think the fallacy of his program is that he doesn't teach mathematics only in a large school—one much larger than the University of Kansas. This is because football team and keep necks above water without attempting a foolish program which would be for three students to play a game with teams of our class. It will take more than that to keep our outstanding teamman and bring more mature players on the field.
We must choose between no varsity team at all or a well-rounded program which will provide for our football players' expenses. The overwhelming majority wants the latter and should have their wish.
White's suggestion that, if we should choose to abandon football, the stadium be turned into a home for orphan goldfish is the only sensible thing advanced thus far. It is probably a compartment of other friends of his knocking in mid-field—that is if the goldfish will put up with a few suckers in their midst.

With a Great Horn Spoon
By John R. Malone
Today the Men's Student Council and Women's Self-Governing Ass- mandes jointly to discuss the feasibility of setting up and the methods of financing a student bookstore.
There are two alternative means of financing the project:
(1) Borrow from the Memorial Union fund an amount sufficient to stock the store. A surplus resulting from the operation of the present campus could be a rest egg. It would require several years to pay back this borrowed sum, and interest charges would be necessary for the term of amortization. This in turn would result in the purchase of several years. It would be a relatively easy plan of bringing about the project.
(2) A second plan is the co-operative plan which has been fostered in part by the Kansan. This would entail the selling of shares in the store to students. A dividend would be paid on the shares. In addition the books would either be sold at a lower price to students or else sold at the list price and each purchaser would be paid back a percentage of his purchases which have been made during the year. This last would be a redistribution of profits above the costs of operations.
The second plan is to be desired but it is more difficult to bring into effect because individual students must actively work to make the store a success. Shares must either be sold at a dollar or so and only a small start made, or more shares or higher-priced shares must be sold. In any event the second alternative would mean students in larger shares which would have a par value, which would be of a negotiable nature, and which would give each person interested, no matter how much stock he held, one and only one vote in the operation of the store.
Yes, a co-operative bookstore is a lot of work, but we believe it is worth the candle.
Retrospect Following a 'Swell' Thanksgiving
After due consideration and concentration upon the subject for one minute, the writer knows of nothing quite up to the dullness of the first day after vacation. We students get out of the college year and start into it four days later. Yes, we are all acquainted with that sort of stupid dullness after a "perfect" party or dance or even a swallate date. This coming back to collegiate earth after a glorious vacation exceeds all of that for being just plain dull. We students go on vacation family again. And was it nice to get that car for really going social. Somehow there is something to be a college student, you rather feel like a privileged character when
And may we not forget the heavenly mamma appropriate for a real Thanksgiving. When it comes around, we just don't any place like home.
At dinner Philip, the turkey, was one supreme fowl. One was tempted to ask the popular question: "When did you leave heaven?" With all the accompanying trimmings, Philip was really dressed up for the day. We thoroughly damaged the port side of his fuselage at the 'big' dinner. But we continued to fill up Philip until there was nothing left of him but the wreckage and wonderful memories.
Now is it not agreed that eating real food, seeing the family at least now and then, sleeping until the sun has done a half day's work, and driving the car again go toward being a vacation which makes Mount Oread and its inhabitants a bit tame.
Sure, we'll get back in the "rut." But wasn't it good to be on a vacation?
