The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
VOLUME XXXII
University to Be Host to Eleventh N.S.F.A. Conclave
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. 1935
and Appointed Chair man of Regional Committee at Boston Meeting
Meeting
The National Student Federation of America will hold its eleventh annual congress in Kansas City, Mo., and will be held at the University of Kansas next December.
Gunnar Mykland, c'35, president of the Men's Student Council and Lloyd Metzler, c'35, treasurer, were delegates to the tenth congress held in Boston Dec. 28 to Jan. 1. Mykland was appointed chairman of the mid-west regional committee of the N.S.F.A. He was also appointed to the powerful ways and means committee of the organization.
NUMBER 66
Bringing the Congress to Kansas is the result of months of hard work on the part of Metzler and Mykland. The Men's Student Council appointed Mykland chairman of a committee last spring to make plans for the campaign to have the N.S.F.A. come to the middle west for their meeting.
First Mid-West Session
The delegates were handicapped in their efforts because the organization is extremely powerful in the South and East and comparatively weak in the North. The Congress has never been lead to this part of the United States before.
The Kansas delegates expressed the opinion that holding the convention at Kansas would tend to strengthen the organization in this section.
Armed with letters of invitation from the governors of Kansas and Missouri, from the chancellors of the University of Kansas and Kansas State College and from the presidents of the student governing organizations of Washburn and Kansas State, the two delegates left for Boston by automobile the Saturday before Christmas. They also took with them literature advertising Kansas City as a convention city and pamphlet addressing the university of Kansas campus. They presented to each delegate at the convention a small plaster-of-paris Jayhawker with a collar around its neck saying, "K.U. Invites You to K.C."
Favor Military Training
Thomas F. Neblett, a former truck star at Milaps College, Jackson, Miss, and now a graduate student at Louisiana State university, was elected president of the Federation for the coming year.
The Congress took a stand on compulsory R.O.T.C. by adopting a resolution calling to "amend section 40 of the National Defense Act so that military drill in colleges and universities be made compulsory." The congress in this respect passed a resolution "those boys who are conscientious objectors of compulsory military drill and as such cannot receive a college degree."
Basketball Tour Is Planned
Allen Quiered by Bourryschkine Concerning American Trip to Europe
France is evincing much interest in the fact that basketball has been added to the list of content sports for the 1936 Olympics at Berlin, according to a letter to Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas, from a program promoting a plan for an American tour for a European basketball team.
Bouryschkein can inquire as to what chance there might be for a European tour of some American basket-knife. Dr. Allen is willing for more information.
Bouryschkine says he is coach of the Mac Jannett team and is captain of the Atlier five. Since he is a Russian by birth, he plays also with the Russian team. He attended Middlebury College. He was a member of Holliday Hall in his opinion the Italians are the fastest basketball players, but he thinks the French are the best.

Dean D. M. Swarthot was re-elected secretary of the Music Teachers National Association for the eleventh year at the annual meeting held at Milwaukee and Jerick B. Steven of the University of Illinois was elected president for 1935.

College Daily Editors Meet in Washington
Kansan Is Represented at Two-Day Conference by McCalla
Thirty-three editors of college dailies in the United States and two in Canada met in Washington, D.C., during the Christmas vacation to discuss their mutual problems and to organize the International Conference. Wesley McCalla, who represented the Daily Kanan at the conference, returned to Lawrence last night.
Many distinguished government officials and newspaper men addressed the college editors during the sessions of their meeting which were held in the Mayflower hotel last Friday and Saturday, Dec. 28 and 29, and opportunely met with the young men to meet and visit with other well known men and women.
The group was received on Friday morning by President Roosevelt, who recounted the story of a scoop he scored over the Yale paper during his college days when he was editor of the Harvard Crismon. The President listened to the inside story of the inside trouble at Louisiana State University, as told of Jesse H. Cuttren, Jr., former editor of *The New York Times*. He was dismissed from the university after he had printed a letter criticizing Senator Huey Long.

Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes spoke to the group Friday afternoon, declaring that he believes too much emphasis is being put upon demands for freedom of the press.
Roundtables during the day were held with three noted newspapermen, James T. Williams, former editor of the Boston Transcript and noted editorial writer, Robert S. Allen, co-author of Washington Merry-Go-Run, and Sir Wilhelm Lewis, Washington correspondent for the London Times.
The group was informally entertained in the afternoon at a cocktail party given by Mrs. Eleonor Patterson, publisher of the Washington Herald, at her home.
Richard Washburn Child, magazine writer, lawyer and diplomat, was the speaker at a dinner held in the Mayflower Hotel that evening.
After a breakfast at the Metropolitan club Saturday morning the editors drove to Arlington Cemetery, where they placed a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and to Mount Vernon. In the afternoon they enlisted in the Army for New York, where the conference was to end with a banquet that evening.
Election of permanent officers of the association and reports of committees were completed on the train. D. B Hardeman, editor of the Daily Texas of the University of Texas, was elected national chairman, and Howard P. Marshall of Chicago Maroon, was elected regional chairman of the midwestern section.
Attend Banquet in New York
At the banquet that evening, held at the Ritz Tower in New York, the conference was addressed by E. D. Cohen, editor of the New York American, Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York Mirror and author of the syndicated column, "Today"; Bainimore, state state; Bruce Barton, well known writer and advertising man; and D. B. Hardeman, the association's president.
The idea for the convention was first brought forward by Stanley S. Beaubaire, editor of the Stanford Daily, who as temporary chairman, made and carried through most of the plans. He also directed the work of the Daily Illini of the University of Illinois, and president of the Big Ten Editorial Association.

Kansas Graduate Donates $60,000 For New Hospital
Board of Regents Studies Plans for Children's Unit at Bell Memorial
A gift of $60,000 for the erection and equipment of a children's hospital for the University of Kansas School of Medicine at Kansas City, Kan., was announced just before Christmas by the university president, who said the donor is a graduate of the University, and a resident of Kansas, but prefers to remain anonymous.
The gift has been accepted by the Board of Regents and the K.U. Endowment Association, and construction of a 40-bed children's hospital unit will start as soon as proper study can be made of the latest in such hospitals. The hospital grounds as to conform to the plan for the completed hospital plant.
Fifteen years ago, when it became apparent that the original Bell Memorial hospital, the gift of Dr. Smeeon Bell of Kansas City, Kan., was not large enough, the people of Kansas City, by bond issue and subscription, raised $60,000 for a 13-sere tract a mile south of the former hospital, and plans were sketched for a great hospital plant of a score of buildings and wings. The legislature provided $200,-000 for the first building, and six years later added $200,000 for nurses' home and a second ward building.
Many additional units will be required before the hospital plant is all completed.
Two other notable gifts to the University's school of Medicine were the Porter fund for scholarships and lectureships; and the Boylen fund for research. This gift is equally important under the direction of the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
