Tuberculosis Fund Is Short of Goal In Student Drive
Campaign to Raise Money to Combat Disease Well Supported by Many
The men's committee for the sale of Christmas seals, composed of George Wright, c. 36, Henry Eve Tucker, b. 37, and Lois Wilson, b. 39 night the contributions for the tuberculosis campaign from several men's organized houses. The total reached this year by both男妇 and women was exceeded with $200.00 collected last year.
This report does not include those fraternities which are collecting from the individual or the professional fraternities which did not have their meeting until last Tuesday night and conference, they have not had time to turn in a report.
"Even though the goal of $20 was not reached," said George Wright, chairman of the men's committee, "this year's Co-operation was offered from all sides."
With everyone's whole-hearted cooperation enough money will be gathered to help make surveys through the schools. Skin tests will be made and if it is not appropriate, the child's chest is examined by X-ray. These surveys will show what children to protect and where to look for the carriers of the disease. Sometimes they are found in the schools in the person of sick teachers. More often, however, it is not the parents who carry the disease to the children. Therefore in the next few years the money received from the sale of Christmas seals will be devoted more and more to carrying on these surveys and finding out where the tuberculosis fact
There are 41 other countries throughout the world affiliated with the International Council against tuberculosis that are campaigning for exactly the same purpose as students here—that of raising sufficient funds to carry on the unceasing fight to keep down the dreaded toll taken each year by the "White Plaque."
The report from the men's organizer houses is as follows:
Phi Delta Theta $10.00$
Delta Tau Theta 10.00
Beta Theta Pi 7.50
Pi Kappa Alpha 7.50
Kappa Sigma 6.75
Delta Chi 2.50

Those fraternities which are collecting their contributions from the individual, and which have not turned in a report, are as follows: Sigma Alpha Episkalei, Phi Kappa Pi, Asociation Phi Kappa Pi, Asociation Alta Tau Omega, Delta Upsilon, and Triangle.

Knowing that rumors of Red Activities on the campus constituted a problem which touched upon the life of every student, the Shin investigated the situation thoroughly, and is gratified to offer the result. The task was considerably lightened by the fact that many males were in no condition to answer the three questions postulated and many females refused to stir out of Wiedemann's back room. But the remaining 1000 gallantly voted for them, and they received 90 percent from you a member of the Communist Party? (Yes—73 per cent, No—5 per cent, What is it?—22 percent) Do you answer quizzes with information gained at the forum lectures? (Yes—65 per cent, No—40 per cent). The extra 5 per cent represents those who learned from your answers. (Yes—62 per cent, No—5 per cent). The rest refused to answer because they had nothing to do with it.

'Basis for Negotiations Presented to Mussolin
Il Duce Breaks Own Rule to Receive Special Ambassadors
Rome, Dec. 11, —(UP) The proposals of France and Great Britain for peace between Italy and Ethiopia, were laid on Premier Benito Mussolini's desk tonight by the ambassadors of the two countries to accept them as "basis for negotiations."
Mussolini broke his own rule for government employees to receive Count Benedetto Sorrentino, m. and Sir Eric Drummond of Britain at 5:30 p.m. The Premier has decreed that all state servants should close their offices at 4 p.m. to conserve electricity.
Count Charles presented the draft in French, remaining with the Premier nearly 30 minutes to explain details. He met Sir Eric on the stairs of the Venice Biennale, where he received an English language version of the plan. The terms are identical—giving Italy sovereignty or dominant rights over half of Ethiopia. A spokesman for Mussolini said he had thanked the envoys and officials involved in the proposal with the utmost attention. II Duce's reply or counter proposals-if any–prophy will be made tomorrow.

Britain To Accept League Opposition To Paris Proposa
Oden Leaves for Geneva to Urge Peace Plan for Ethiopian Settlement
Settlement
London, Dec. 11. — (UP)—Britain will not attempt to override opposition of other League members to the Paris peace agreement tonight after Captain R. Anthony Eden had departed for Geneva to present Britain's软硬 settlement the European cap on corruption.
The covenant instructed Eden, it was understood, that the committee of five, meeting to vote on the French-British compromise, should take precedence over the committee of 18 meeting to consider an anti-Iranian oil embargo.
Some authorities doubted the Franco-British proposal would be adopted by the French, while it was rejected even if Premier Benoit Musoulin should accept them. Emperor Haile Seslaise is expected to reject the appeal, which has been supported or total or control of half his kingdom.
Eden is reported lukewarm to the Paris plan, but he must represent Britain at Geneva because his chief, Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, requested for his health. Eden reportedly was instructed to propose or support strongly the postponement of oil sanctions.
A revolt of small powers, possibly by the Sandinavians, would not be unexpected. Should Edouard Benes, of a French origin, be the council, the revolt might be serious.
The British expect a bitter outburst from the small nations at Geneva. However, they count upon Russia's being reluctant to expose herself to the accusations of leading a League campaign against fascism. The Russians also may worry that because they feel it would bring July back into the anti-German fold.
Britain's amazing recoil from her stance stand against concessions to Italy is attributed by sources friendly to the government to a determination to remain and avoid the risk of European war or upsetting the fistisit regime in Italy.
"Heavy Water" Discovered
Science Finds Fountain of Youth and Possible Cure for Cancer
Moraga, Cal. Dec. 11—(UP)—Ponce de Leon, who wore himself out in a search for a fountain of eternal youth may have had the right idea after all, according to Dr. Stephen J. Tomaser of school of science at St Mary's College.
A recent discovery of science, "heavy water," Dr. Tomer Enable, may hold the key to the elixir of youth and also a means of providing object of science cure for cancer.
Deterium oxide, which is the overweight name for "heavy water", differs from the ordinary variety of the fluid in its greater density, caused by the extra weight of hydrogen. There are 10 different types of "heavy water."
If cancer is nothing more than a wild and uncontrollable growth of cells, developing out of proportion to their normal cells, then I sincerely believe that tumor in concentrated form may be just the thing to inhibit this growth."
With regard to the possibilities of the newly-discovered liquid in the treatment of cancer. Dr. Tomer said:
Hard chiefship to adequate research in "heavy water," is its high cost. It supplies $20 to manufacturer a single gram of 40 per cent pure "heavy water."
A change of plans concerning the induction and meeting of Pi Mm Ep-28 was announced. The meeting will be held tomorrow at 8 a.m. in room 213 of the Library.
Will Take Play to McLouth
"All available evidence," says Dr. Tomer, "points to the fact that heavy water' slows down the normal chemical reaction of acids we believe that as our frontiers of knowledge in this respect are pushed back, we will find that the accumulation of 'heavy water' in the tissues may tend to increase and then to induce premature old age."
Immediately following this meeting a dinner will be given at the Manor at 6:30. The speaker of the evening will be Mr. Kendall, dean of Kansas State College.
MATHEMATICS FRATERNITY ANNOUNCES MEETING CHANGI

Clean Sweep With Hawley,
Laing, and Thompson

a Majority
