Congress Against Cut of War Debts
European Obligations
Total $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 $12,000,-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 default 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 refused on the French proposal. 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.

Many of the Freshman Frolierer 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 a letter in response, but I know she 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 the music would be more appropriate, would be similar to wearing 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 Doddiergee 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.
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 vantage and is often clothed in a join-cloth. 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 lads from the town 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 prone form. The reverberations were echoed now if not before and the D'S have found it necessary to recruit some extra house-men.
Several of the local photographers have announced a great increase in business since the rotegrave section of this paper come out. Most of them love lads and lashes are overly anxious to have their pictures among those appearing in the brown section which will accompany this sheet every Sunday. Not only would they like to be photographed but 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 Phil 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 hall the evening we went to the room had already aided through one of the windows of the Pi Phi house on their return. Our sparrow said that he didn't know what the girls were but that they couldn't have Coats and Siewart as it wasn't a bay window.
PRE-MEDICAL STUDENTS
The annual medical aptitude test will be given this year on Friday, Dec. 4, at 2:30 o'clock, in Room 101, Room hall.

United States Will Not Join Geneva Group
Buenos Aires, Dec. 1—(UF) The United States will not join the League of Nations to hold a public testimony told that Argentina newspaper now today at a press conference.
The Chief Executive gave an emphatic "No" to a question whether his country would become a member of the Geneva organization, but declined to comment on the possibility of 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 porley's inaugural. The sudden death of his personal bodyguard, August (Gus Garnier), the young minister, morning caused cancellation of entertainment planned in the President's honor.

Business Graduates Work in 13 States
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,
Three of these graduates are in business of their families and two in public school work. The remaining 64 are occupied in 32 different types of business, chiefly in the education system; they are situated in 13 different states. All four of the women graduates of the school are employed.
'Phog' 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.

Discuss Plans For Co-op Store At Joint Meet
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 to investigate the possibility and requirements of organizational change in the student book store for the University.
More than 500,000 persons witnessed the arrival. Crowds repeatedly broke through lines and surged around the automobile in which Mr. Roosevelt and President Augustin T. Justo of Argentina rode from the North Baltic where the American executive embarked from the U. S. cruiser Indianapolis at 1:56 p.m. for the American embassy.
From the moment he first stepped aboard on Argentine soil President Roosevelt was accorded an unprecedented demonstration. Here to participate, he and the marrow of the Inter-American conference for the maintenance of peace, the President rose from the dock to the embassy through cheering crowds and streets in a procession of triumph for his new deal for the New World.

Post Mortem
Out of the public's great concern and teaming ideas and remarks over and about this season's football dilemma have come certain conclusions which constitute in the opinion of many thoughtful observers some of the basic discrepancies in existing football conditions.
They are:
1. Many Big Six rules are archaic and inadequate to the present needs. The University's athletic administration has attempted to observe these outgrown rules rigidly and in so doing has overburdened the players with scholastic and financial responsibilities.
2. The system of direction and supervision of athletics in general is unsatisfactory.
3. There are not enough members on the coaching staff.
4. And, mainly as a result of the above and partially as a result of other lesser contributing factors, there is an insufficientity of alumi support, a paucity of material, a lack of student spirit and co-operation.
There is much to be done.
Ante Natum
Today the councils meet to discuss the establishment of a book store.
Our student government has a long record of hesitant approaches and double-quick retreats in dealing with this project. In the fall of 1932 a committee of the Men's Student Council reported favorably on the idea of a book store; by spring it had changed its mind. Why?
store, by typing in the address.
In hasty investigating conference notes, made during the intervening period and now part of the council files, are these statements:
are these sales manners called upon for monetary support for University projects. Merchants feel they deserve the business instead of enlarging the Union building." Over the signature of a University official is, "No definite decision should be made until situation downtown clears up. No other obstacle in way . . ." Finally there is the decision to "Stress inadmissibility of . . . store."
In other words, the councils have been made to feel that they should protect Lawrence merchants against a co-operative movement because these men supply money for campus improvements.
After today the student body can begin to judge whether our pockets are still placed second to those of outsiders. In a nutshell, will this University continue to regard itself as a pile of nondescript buildings? It is up to the councils. The University of Kansas needs a cooperative book store.

This meeting and the plans for the future will be discussed by the W.S.G.A. as to the means of disposal of the surplus on hand from the operation of the present book exchange.
The W.S.G.A. council will hold a separate meeting in the Pine room at 7 o'clock preceding the joint session.
The proposed store will probably be organized and operated by both governing groups and will be entirely free of political control. The purpose of the meeting tonight is to make definite decisions regarding representatives from both the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. to carry out the organization of the project.
