Things are picking up in this old world, and it won't be long until we're rolling in gold. Even Art McKillrick, who used to ride a motorcycle comes to school every morning in a new Old-fashioned car. He also understands. The driver also comes after Art when class is over. Forgot mention that he works at the garage.
Every week there is some kind of drive on to get money for the deserving. No doubt the purpose of such things are all right, but the organized houses are always asked to pledge 100 per cent support. The contributions are small in some cases but they are very important to taxes. Maybe the fraternities should start a drive to abolish these taxes or else refuse to contribute to the various funds.
Party season is approaching, and the time for tuxedos is at hand. The powers of the Hill will send orchids, and the powerless will not, but they'll be glad of the A.D. Pi song are having a whining-ing ere long, and one of the fortunes happens to be called his friend. He called his friend Mary John after receiving the bid and remarked that she had forgotten to put her name on the invitation
Remarks of Henpecked Harris, the Ottawa kid “Wish I didn’t have to go to the Freshman Frolic Friday night.” Most men are telling their girls what to do, Freddy boy, what’s the matter with you?
At the sorority sing some time ago when the Theta's were marching on the stage, a girl standing behind the curtain said to one of the Theta's "You were just swell." The Theta said, "You were too. Too to find the first party happens to be one of the judges, and the Theta didn't know."
After receiving two stug bids to the Pi Phi party, would like to know if I'en entitled to a date, or supposed to be a chaneron.
There seems to be another fellow who doesn't particularly care for the Midwestern campus opinion column yesterday. It might be possible that Bill Cochran and the band leaders can't agree, but who are they? The students who tell Cochran what to do.

Campus Traditions To Be Interpreted By New Committe
Group Will Standardize Customs and Formulate Them Into a Definite Program
The University traditions committee, created by an act of the Men's Student Council at its last meeting, faces the task of interpreting all the traditions passed
Committee Members Named
Frank Allen, c36, chairman of the committee, said last night that the committee will go through all the bills and by-laws pertaining to traditions and will discuss how to address these into some sort of a definite code. This is to be done, said Allen, because of the confusion and misunderstanding under the present system of traditions.
The committee on traditions, as created by the M.S.C. bill, provides that the members of the committee shall be composed of: Eddie Rice, president of the Ku Kus; Marie Russell, representing the Jay Janes; Bob Thorpe, the Owl society; Julia Jencks, president of W.S.G.A.; Prof. F. E. Melvin, of the departement; Dr. Robert Werner; and Frank Allen, of the M.S.C., the chairman of the committee.
The most important traditions to be brought up before the committee are the freshman cap problem, and the matter of dating at football games. Allen exerted himself in this regard by submitting the committee to the effect that freshmen be assessed small fines instead of being made to go through the paddle lines as in the past. He said that the tradition against dating at football games will be dropped from the list entirely.
Bills Are Contradictory
The chief difficulty to be encountered in making something tangible out of the traditions lies in the fact that there are so many contrived bills on the general subject of traditions. This will be the first attempt to anything like another set of traditions on this compass another fact adding to the difficulty of the task.
The report to the council will be in the form of recommendations as to how to handle situations which should be amended. There will be nothing in the report except recommendations and some attempt at organization of the traditions, Allen pointed
The council will pass on the advisability of the measures and changes advised by the committee.

CLOSED DATE
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, speaking before a meeting of campus correspondents recently, told many interesting facts concerning the history of the Kansas Student Memorial Union.
Ellsworth Tells Campus Correspondents History of Student Memorial Union
The student union originated at Cambridge University, England, in 1815. An out-growth of the university, it began to bring students together, aiding in the development of warm friendships and wide social contacts. It had one last, and soon spread to America.
"Kansas was one of the first universities in the Middle West to start a campaign for a union," stated Mr. Ellsworth. In 189, Dr. Frank Strickler called together a committee and called together them to work out a memorial to honor the University of Kansas men who had fallen in the World War.
"First, two conceptions as to what the memorial should be, thrust themself into consideration. One group is not non-utilitarian — a great shaft, tower or statue. The other group, more useful, wanted something more useful.
"After that was settled, two camps again developed regarding the choice of the memorial. One group wanted to be housed in a room compromised by deciding to build both. They agreed to raise a fund of one million dollars, of which the first two were used for causing seating facilities for football crowds were necessary immediately.

"These revisions have been approved within certain limits," said Dean Schlegel yesterday, "and a definite announcement of the changes will be available for publication when final decisions have been made."
The second $250 000 was to go into the union, the third into the stadium, and the last quarter million into the union."
Students, alumni and friends responded generously and enthusiastically to the campus pledged $200,000, and others promised to contribute until a total of $655,000 had been pledged. Of that amount, two-thirds has been collected.
Coincident with this movement was a campaign by law students and alumi to erect a statue in honor of the late James Woods "Uncle Jimmy" Green, dean of the School of Law from 1879 to 1919. The general memorial campaign absorbed this drive, and it became the status now in front of Green ball

The second day of the annual Christmas seal drive brings assurance that the sale will be a success. According to Julia Jencks, e36, president of the Women's Self-Governing Association, it is expected to exceed last year's collection of $200.

"If every student in the University will give just a few pennies, the total sales will be more than last year's sum," said Miss Jencks.
Student contributions will be used almost entirely by the student hospital for clinics, and tuberculosis examinations Emphasis is being placed on the fact that University sales reap results on the Hill itself.

the demands of my clients and the opinions expressed by students and faculty members: There is a need for the date bureau at the University of Kansas.

New Oil Monopoly With Standard Co. Is Denied by Italy
But Government Statement
Does Not Deny Pact
With Subsidiary
as Reported
Rome, Dec. 4. —(UF) The government today issued a communique report to deny that Standard Oil interests have agreed with the Italian government to supply all necessary oil in case the League of Nations votes an oil embargo. The communique denied that an "ol"
mopuosity" has been granted to "Standard Oil of New York." The United Press story last night used unimpeachable sources had revealed a "gentleman's gesture" in the fight against the investment and the Societa Italo-Americana del Petroleum, subsidiary of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey.
When the apparent discrepancy was called to the attention of the official press baronu which issued the complaint, Ms. Beyrouta said "perhaps a mistake has been made."
Stories Are Unfounded
Text of the government statement was "Certain American and British newspapers have printed a story regarding an alleged oil monopoly which the Italian Standard Oil of New York. Such stories are completely destitute of foundation." The communique does not deny that an agreement has been made with the SI-AP, whereby this American-controlled company is to furnish Italy petroleum if the League shuts off such companies to continue its war with Rhônae.
Monopoly Angle Denied
In the eyes of experts, this is equivalent to monopoly.
Monopoly Angle Hinterland All the triangles in monopoly angle. Possibly this term was not used in the reported "gentleness's agreement" which would give the S.I.A.P. complete control over the Italian market over and above what the A.G.LP.-governmental institution of oil in Italy - is able to produce. In the eyes of experts, this is equiva-
The government denial, which follows a disclaimer from Walter C. Teagle president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, in New York, was expected by the sources which revealed the agreement to the United Press.
Washington, Dec. 4—(UP)–Reporter f an oil deal between Italy and a Stand- ard Oil of New Jersey subsidiary, tonight at the U.S. Embassy in federal control over industry.
RIGID FEDERAL CONTROL ASKED
Congressoinal Request Is Result o Rumored Oil Agreement
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Democrat from Wyoming, author of a bill for the government to protect industry, asserted that the reported deal revealed the necessity for a federal system of charters and licenses for corporate activity in commerce or commerce among the states.
O'Maboney's position was made known as an investigation disclosed that numerous American oil firms are in a position to supply belligerents with oil from countries even if supplies were embarged from the United States.

Ignaz Friedman Plays Brilliantly To Large Crowd
Composer - Pianist Demonstrates Skill and Fine Technique in Concert
Friedman did not disappoint his audience. He played with all the brilliance and fine technique that have earned him fame on both continents.
Approximately 2000 music lovers of the University and surrounding territory heard Ignaz Friedman, world-reowned Polish pianist, in the second of the offerings of the University Concert course in the Auditorium last night. Fritz Kreisler introduced the series here last month.
So numerous are the demands for Friedman, that it was not until 1921 that he made his first tour of the United States and made his first visit in this country for five years.
He demonstrated accurately his less restrained and more interpretive emotional style. His rendition of the music of Chopin was especially significant in this work, as he emphasized an interpretative authority on this composer. A feature of the concert was his playing of Chopin's "Nocture," Op. 63, Ballade in G minor", "Mozarourka" and "Rondo Nocturne". On the whole, the selections chosen appealed to the emotional as well as intellectual ear, with compositions ranging from the highly technical "Ronde" to the more straightforward "Bronze". "Soiré Dan Grenade" by Debussy. He obliged with two encounters.
The concert was particularly valuable to the advanced piano students of the Fife Arts school as they included the se-ances played are included in their courses.
The complete program follows:
"Rondo," by Mozart; "Chaconne," by Bach-Buson; "Nocture, Op. 63," "Ballade, G minor"; "Mazouka, C sharp."
"Carnivel, Op. 9" by sehiumman; "Soirce Dans Grenade" by Debusy; and "Schatz Waltz" by Strauss-Fried- man.
