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, (UPI)-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. All authority for new settlement rests in Congress.
Vice-President John N. Garner conferred with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morganshaw, J., but both denied they discussed the war debt and Garner later refused to comment on the French proposal. He has been against war debt
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, 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.
He has been against war debt reduction in the past.

on the SHIN by alan asher
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 mistakenly asked at college saying 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 the band's swing music would be similar to playing a dots in a football game.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1036
Tarzan of the Apes has little or notching on Johnny Green of the Delta Tau house. The former, as the reader may know, has shin vampire teeth and a tough strength while clobbed in a loin-cloth. The latter slew a "possum Sunday night with a two-by-four while clad in a top-coat. After hearing Green's victory ofy several of the lads from that kingdom, he determined to firmly determine 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 lads were dead and the DTS have found it necessary to recruit some extra house-men.
Several of the local photographers have announced a great increase in business since the rogravure section of this paper came online. They have lads and lasses 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 students be surprised if 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 in 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 gone and girls were gallantly added through the door to the hallways 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 art as it wasn't a bay window.

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.
They now shift their untenable position and declare that the fault is in the system of direction and supervision of athletics.
The Kansas Board cannot bury their mistakes. Their ghosts haunt them.
Their early open printed criticism was leveled against what they termed incompetent football coaching.
