Congress Against Cut of War Debts European Obligations Total $12,000,000,000; Should Be Paid
Washington, Dec. 1—(UF) - 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.
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 war debt and Garner later refined it to a better formula. He has been, against my delt
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
readjustment of the debt.
"They would have to put the money on the line or we wouldn't be interested," he said.

on the SHIN by alan asher
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 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 is a game, adding a derby 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 still up and about. Bill Doddferge received a telegram last week from the extramon man asking for a loan of five dollars. Heap sent the telegram from San Diego and reported that the weather was fine.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1936
Tarzan of the Apes has little or nothing on Johnny Green of the Delta Tau house. The former, as the reader may know, has shin variety and sandy animals by a jabbercloth. The latter slew a "possum Sunday night with a two-by-four while clad in a top-cot. After hearing Green's cry of victory several of the lads from that house jumped out and stared at 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 an awkward leap if not before and the D'ts have found it necessary to recruit 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. Students 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 bone so that their parents might know they are still in school.
Camping penalties as enforced by most of the sorority houses are a joke. Two of the Pi Phi pledges who were captured as 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 interview the live the evening's event and the one immediately aided through one of 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 Coats and Stewart as it wasn't a bay window.

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 bathtub-radio Galahads with the flaming pen of fair play play undeniable school spirit to hop onto us with both feet. We will answer them with a cooring team—answer

'Trees Need Water Before Frost,' Says Stevens
"Trees in and around Lawrence are in danger of dying during the winter, unless they are properly watered before the ground freezes," W. C. Stevens, professor of botany, stated yesterday.
The lack of rain has made the ground very dry; therefore it is necessary to sow the ground all around the tree, not just at the base of the tree. Professor Stevews said this important work will save most of the weakened trees which weathered the summer dumbre.

With tremendous democratic majorities in both houses, extension of these two laws within 25 days of the scheduled convocation of the seventy-fifth Congress, Jan. 5, would appear simple. But on Jan. 31 last year, both houses sold their newly owned both houses, the soldiers' bonus, and that chiefly because it had been made the first order of business at the preceding session.
