CWA Will Aid Students
Missouri University May Employ 30% on National Project
Students at the University of Missouri who find it necessary to work their way through school will be given employment under the Civil Works Administration if plans which have been tentatively approved by state authorities are given final sanction.
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MAKES
APPLICATION FOR CWA MEN
Approximately 300 student workers, under the tentative plans, would work 15 hours a week at 45 cents an hour. Their wages would be paid from funds separate from those allotted for CWA projects which are giving employment to Columbia residents, and their employment would in no way affect other CWA work under way at the University and elsewhere in Boone county, where hundreds of local men and women have already been employed.
The School of Business was among the first of the schools of the University to make application for CWA workers to be placed in their office. Various universities have been hiring additional workers under the CWA to do clerical and stenographic work.
The School of Business can use a number of clerks in their statistical work for the state. Chancellor E. H. Lindley announced at a recent cabinet meeting that he understood that all the funds had been allotted, but the application had been placed on file in case of future appropriations.
WIDENING OF CITY STREETS
IS FIRST OF PWA PROJECTS
The government is taking steps toward improving city streets under the new PWA project which provides for the building of United States highways through towns.
The first of these projects which will be started in Lawrence is the widening of Massachusetts street from the court house to Twentieth street.
The street will be widened three feet on each side and will be rejaved with a 7-inch base. The paving was to be continued but sufficient money could not be raised.

The advanced standing commission met yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in Henley house to hear Mrs. W. L. Burdick in an informal talk concerning her travels. Dr. and Mrs. Burdick recently returned from a trip around the world and the speaker said that she had a difficult time making up her mind which phase of her trip she would talk about in the limited time allotted her.
Mrs. W. L. Burdick Tells Advanced Standing Commission of Trip
Mrs. Burdick chose India as her subject and her talk took the form of a travelogue as she took her audience with her from Singapore, where the Burdicks landed after sailing from Manila, thence to Rangoon where the speaker's reminiscences led her to speak of the golden pagoda which, she said, was outstanding in structure of city. She also mentioned the profusion of colors which the natives wore and which in some places adorned their houses.
From Rangoon the travelers went to Calcutta, to Darjeeling where they saw Mt. Everest, to Benares the site of the celebrated Taj Mahal, to Delhi to Jalpur, the birthday cake city, so-called because of its bright colored houses, and finally to Bombay.

Jayhawker Cagers Drop Opening Tilt of Big Six Season
Failing to Develop Offensive Drive, Kansans Lose Nebraska Game, 21-24
Handicapped by the lack of any semblance of a scoring offensive the University of Kansas cages, 1933 Big Six champions, lost their first conference game of the 1934 season at Lincoln, Neb. last night at the hands of a veterinary team at the Corkhuskens, who surprised conference followers by defeating Iowa State College in an overtime period last week out-played the Kansans most of the way, winning 24 to 21.
Although Dr. F. C. Allen, Kansas mentor, had two sophomores in his starting lineup it was the veteran members of the squad that furnished what punch the Jayhawkers were able to muster. Paul Harrington who is playing his third year and Ernest Vanek another senior, were the highest scorers for Kansas. Harrington won second high honors of the game with 7 points only a point behind Parsons, Nebraska guard. Vanek counted two field goals and a free throw. All of the other Kansas points, with the exception of Ebling's lone goal, came on free throws.
The Kansas defense was the out-standing feature of the Jayhawkers stand. Nebraska was held to a minimum of points, but the Kansans like-wise found it hard to count from the 'field.
Dr. Allen tried several combinations in an effort to find a scoring punch, but the Jayhawks had few chances to score on close-in shots. Eight of the nine men who made the trip saw service in the game.
Kansas got off to a slow start. At the end of nine minutes of play the score stood 1 to 1. Nebraska went ahead but Kansas rallied to hold a 9 to 8 lead at the half.
Each team committed six persona

The greatest number of students who commute come from Topeka, some of them by train, and a large group by automobile. To 17 fleet-footed (?) enthusiasts, the "wana" (very nasal) of the good old Santa Fe plug means, "Make it snappy, or you miss that train." It even has something of the alarm clock qualities for Betty Parkinson, c36, for living close to the Santa FE depat to Topeka. She has bribed the engineer to toot extra long for her when he comes in so she will be certain not to forget to school startoward in time.
Eighty-three Students Are 'Kansas Kommuters'; One Is From Missour
By Vernon French, c'36
When someone mentions "commuters" to the ordinary student, his first thought is of crowded trains from New York suburbs where jammed-up mobs read newspapers and play card games as they rush toward Gotham to work in an environment of riveters, honking motor cars, and stock market crashes, but to certain KU. students, the name brings up a friendly, brotherly feeling which is sympathetic and understanding. Those students are the "Kansas Komuters," who constitute a unique group at the University of Kansas.
Referee: E. C. Quigley (St. Mary's)
There are also students who commute from places other than Topeka. Suzanne Falter, fa'sp, comes from Atchison; Mary Foley, ed35 from Troy; Eleanor Goodson, gr. from Liberty, Mo.; Theodore Parry, c'97, from Linwood; Eiler H Scherdwifer, ph'unc1, from Nortonville; Howard Gable, c'34, from Kansas City; and Paul Larey, fa'sp, from Kansas City, Mo.

Nine Foreign Countries Represented at Dinner
Speaker Holds World War Responsible for Disagreements
agreements
Approximately 125 persons representing nine foreign countries met together last night at the International Banquet in the cafeteria of the Memorial Union.
In reviewing the world evils, the Rev. Harold Case, pastor of the First Methodist church of Topeka, the main speaker of the evening, said that the world war was responsible for the present relations between the nations and for the growing spirit of hatred between the many European countries.
He named the four major intolerances of the world as institutionalized religion, which must be broken up into wider range of thought; nationalism, which was originally necessary but now is the threat of the world because no nation can exist by itself; economic intolerance, the chief defect of which is capitalistic business, undesirable because it has too low a motive, is too wasteful and is self-contradictory because it preaches that all people should have enough, yet allows no fair distribution; and race intolerance, which must be banished before people can get along together peacefully.
"The hope for the world lies in the possibility of individuals becoming creative and working out a means of making the world a safe place for mankind in the future." Reverend Case concluded.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley in a short talk of welcome to the foreign students said that the work of the International Relations club on the campus was never as important as now, and that mental and spiritual qualities within a nation are more important than the differences between nations.
Music for the evening was supplied by the Filipino students who played Filipino music on their native instruments, and by two Negro students who gave a piano and violin number. The tables were decorated with globes and flags. Tom Page gave a humorous talk on anthropology.
Novel place cards of flags representing the different countries were placed on the tables.

W. S. G. A. Forms Honor Resolution for Final Exams
Paper to Be Presented to Senate; Women Draw Up Activity Ticket Objections
Ryan to Compose Revue Music
Discussion of the activity ticket and of academic honor were main topics of the W.S.G.A. meeting yesterday afternoon. A resolution concerning students' ethical standards in the classroom was drawn up and voted to be submitted to the Men's Student Council and then to the University Senate.
Ojections to the activity ticket administration was drawn up to be presented to Dean Werner, chairman of the activity fee committee. The objections were to be the poor seats reserved for activity ticket holders in the auditorium and in the stadium. Also a suggestion was submitted for changing membership for three students and three faculty to three students (from each council), three elected at large by the committee, and three faculty members.
It was decided that Tom Ryan, f'35, be asked to compose music to be used in finale of the W.S.G.A. musical comedy, and that the dances be directed by Ruth Pule and Virginia Sterling.
The resolution to be submitted to the Zen's Student Council and University senate, reads as follows:
Be it resolved by W.S.G.A. and the
members of Men of the University of
Kansas that
1. To reiterate the following points as listed in the resolution sent to the University Senate last May 4, 1933, namely; a. That we recognize an undesirable condition among the students of the university in regard to academic honor.
Changes to Discourage Cheating
b. That we feel, after a five-month's investigation in which we have secured both student and faculty opinion, that certain fundamental changes in our educational system are necessary before student co-operation can be expected or asked to eliminate other forms of classroom dishonesty.
1. That careful consideration be given by each professor relative to the length of assignments made at the end of the semester.
2. That the practice of assigning the same topic for term papers year after year should be discontinued; and that the practice of using the same questions for examinations year should be strongly discouraged.
3. That the personal attitude of every professor towards his class should be such as to encourage in all examinations, and examineations, and should not be such as to challenge the students to use their ingenuity in cribbing or creating.
4. That under the present system we feel that in justice to those students who have no intention of cheating, adequate supervision should be given by the profession in change of circumstances by the following methods:
Suggestions Made to Professors
A. That the professors should remain
communications by the followine methods.
a. That the professor should remain in the room at all times during the examination. That he should not act as proctor, but should not be exposed to scrutiny.
b. That in small classes, sufficient space should be allowed each student as to remove any temptation for "bewoiring" information.
c. That in large classes, as much space as possible should be allowed each student, and alternate questions should be given.
d. That the possession of books and notebooks in class should be discouraged.
B. That it be further recommended that, as far as is absolutely possible, the professor should limit his questions to those dealing with original knowledge and the level of knowledge derived during the semester's work, rather than to factual questions which do not fairly test knowledge, and encourage cheating, 2. Identify, to make the following suggestions for conduct or student examing exams:
A. That both giving and receiving information of any kind shall be considered unsportsmanslike and it shall be discouraged.
B. That students taking the exam shall make no use of notebooks, texts, or other sources of information except mentioned by the professor in charco.
C. That students should realize that an attempt is being made at the University to manipulate a simulation and that they should cooperate with the faculty in this at-
3. That this resolution be read before the next faculty meeting of the University.
