VOLUME XXXI
Dr. Eddy Explains Students' Position in World Affairs
Speaker Outlines Methods of Altering Present Social Picture at Conference
"What can we do collectively and individually about the present world picture?" asked Sherwood Eddy, speaking on "The Task of the Student Movement" in his last address of the statewide conference on International Relations which was held on the campus this weekend under the sponsorship of the Y.W.C.A., the Y.M.C.A., and the International Relations club.
"We can strive to stand for basic economic justice," said Dr. Eddy. "That is, a square deal for all. I mean to live simply and sacrificially now and all of my life, avoiding waste and luxury with the purpose of making men rather than money. Can you?
"We can bring about racial justice by working to secure legal protection against lynching, and, here on this campus, by being prepared to help in the legislative investigation of the Negro situation. We can work for clean elections, thus promoting needed reforms in courts, the laws, and in political parties.
"The two men who are influencing the most persons on this planet are two Jews: Marx and Jesus. We must believe that we can change the present situation in order that we may have the power necessary for success.
Marx and Jesus Influence People
"In order to do these things, and so safeguard against discourage, I try to live one day at a time in faith, hope and love. The five most Christ-like men and women whom I have met while Traveling all over the world are: Gandhi; Charles Andrews, Gandhi's friend who is known in India by his name as Gandhi (Ghandi or Amap乞); Army Carnegie, missionary in India; Bishop Azharian, African bishop and my best friend; and Kagawa, of Japan.
Three Ways to Aid World
"The three other ways in which we can change this world picture are: (1) striving for international co-operation to preserve peace and stop war; (2) seeking relations between men and women and (3) seeking a new discovery of God."
Yesterday morning at 10:30, Sherwood Eddy talked to "America's Place in the World Picture." He described America in a setting of religion.
"Most persons," said Dr. Eddy, "are so small and narrow that we cannot take in the whole of anything. We short - circuit religion by making it either personal or social, instead of both.
Religion Allied with Evils
"Through this short-circuiting, religion has come into alliance with the worst evils of present day society namely: the war system, slavery, and capitalism. In each of these evils the danger to society lies in the fact that the evil is or has been part of the status quo, and is, therefore, hard to combat. It is like getting used to the air of a stuffy room until it is not noticed; society does not realize the dangers and evils of the present time.
"War is wrong, it is uneconomic I "am done with it. I am ready to die, not to fight; to love, not to hate; to make peace, not war. Twenty thousand dollars an hour from the moment that Jesus said, 'Love your enemies' to the end of the World War would not have paid for the war. The great majority of the propaganda spread during the war was entirely false. Is it right if you have to use lies to get us to fight? It gets me when I go to a fine state university and see the compulsory military training, the goose stepping, mass education, and not one student standing up and questioning the system.
Church Sanctions Slavery
"Slavery has, ever since the Civil War, had the sanction of the church. The personal gospel of the church was not crouch; it had to be a social gospel. Child labor is the form of slavery which we are only now beginning to eliminate.
"Under capitalism, the owners automatically control prices, politics, education, religion, in fact, the whole of life. Under it we have the rich and the poor; the owners and the owned. Sue hueiually breeds war. Capitalism has made law. It has made law. It has made them, too, for capital, not for men."
A graphic description of "The World Picture" was given by Sherwood Eddy Friday night at the Plymouth Congregation. It illustrates five danger points in the world today;
Germany, Japan, China, Russia, and India.
Japan Has Broken Treaties
Japan Has Broken Treaties
"Germany is a shell-shocked nation," said the speaker. "Hitter has done much good, but he is the most dangerous man in the world. Japan has broken sacred treaties, has seized Manchuria, and is trying to gain eastern Siberia. If she lost these she would be 'topped over' by revolution and would be added to the U.S.S.R.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1933
"China is going through five major revolutions all at the same time. Communism is spreading because China is ready for it. She must choose either allow the communistic or the Western way. She is at the parting of the ways.
"India is divided and subdivided by its castes and its religions, but is largely united under Gandhi. The country was built this round out the battle is not over.
Russia's Experiment Important
"Russia, four times the area of the rest of Europe, is carrying on the most important experiment on this planet. It has death-dealing qualities, but is the most powerful international reagent. The evils of the Russian system are its paralyzing bureaucracy, continuing revolution, and the anti-religious zeal which is required of Communist party members.
"The rest of the world can, however, take a lesson from Russia because of its new social order based on justice. Russia is trying to end poverty, injustice, and famine. It has achieved, for the most part, classless society.
"Russia has established universal compulsory primary education. If tyranny were at the heart of the system, they would not dare to educate the people. They vote more, talk more, criticize more than any other people.
"The Russian system is an experiment in justice through compulsion. They have justice without liberty, while we have liberty without justice. We are at the end of an epoch; the new one will include both liberty and justice—social control and personal initiative. It is coming. I pray God that we may give them justice before they rise and take it."
Discussion Groups Held by Professors and Puel
German, Russian and Pan-
American Conditions
Are Examined
"You can't have prosperity without gzetting into debt. You can't get into debt without having a depression afterwards. We try to get out of a depression by going deeper and deeper into debt," said John Loe, professor of econ- theory on his discussion group yesterday. This year he will meet to discuss, in more detail, the world situation which Sherwood Eddy described in his addresses.
The group led by Professor Ise talked on "The Economics of World Recovery." The breakdown of capitalism, and of the economic system was described by the leader.
"German Revolution" was the subject discussed by Professor J. H. Taggart and Heinz Puell, German exchange scholar. "Some books are excluded from official libraries because persons who read them may not be able to understand them well." The book is an idealist," declared Professor Taggart. "I doubt that he is a social idealist."
Professor H. B. Chubb led a discussion on "The United States in the Pan-American Conference," in which he told the history of the conference, and possible outcome of it. "The problems which are associated with the conference," said Professor Chubb, is the Monroe Doctrine, and the re-organization of the Pan-American Union."
"The Russians do not believe that they have Communism now," said Professor J. P. Brown, in the "Russia Evolution" film about Russia's year plan is successful, they will get it."
An award to engineering students for the best paper on the subject of air-conditioning and two similar awards on any other engineering topic have been announced by the American Society of Engineers and a joint summit submitted by June 30. Winners will be awarded $150 as first prize and $50 each as second and third prizes.
About 200 delegates from colleges and universities in Kansas attended the two-day conference.

Manhattan, Kan. Dec. 9—(Special) With only two days left in which to complete the building of a basketball team which will seek to defeat the University of Kansas in a pre-season non-conference opener in Lawrence, Tuesday night, Coach Frank Root is putting his squad through stiff workouts daily. three outfitters have earned this year the position with the Kansas State coach may develop his team.
Dec. 16—*Iowa State vs. Grinnell at Ames.
Last year's letter men returning are Captain Boyd, guard; and Ralph Graham and Oren Stoner, forwards. Lost by graduation were Andy Skradskis forward; Lloyd Dalton, center; Emmett Breen, forward. H. R. "Doe" Weller, Olateh, guard, also lettered several seasons ago and has returned to college.
Members of the squad not out for football have been practicing for some time under the direction of Captain Francis "Bus" Boyd, Phillipsburg, but many of the outstanding candidates in the football varsity up to last week.
Among the non-letter veterans returning are Don Hutchinson, Hutchinson, guard; E. P. Farrell, St. Marys, center; Jim Freeland, Trenton, Mo. center; Dan Blaine, El Dorado, guard; Dick Armstrong and Honor Hanson, Riley, forwards; Lee Morgan, Hugoton, and Dougal Russell, McDonald, Pa. guards; and Ken Phelps, Manhattan, forward.
Several promising sophomores round out the list of 25 candidates
Indications are that the Wildcats will get off to a show start because of lack of practice, but with seven hard games to be played before opening of the Big Six season, should be rounded into shape for the conference campaign. Failure of Frank Groves, Ackerson rated as one of the outstanding center candidates, to return to college has reduced the available material at that position, though Freeland and Farrel both have had experience, and Russell nominally a guard, may be tried as a pivot man.
Hutchinson started last season teaming with Boyd as a regular guard, but was forced out by illness. If the center problem is solved satisfactorily, the Wildcats will put at least an average five into the Big Six race.
Lecompton Defeats Oread
One Point Lead Features High School Basketball Game
Leading 8 to 6 at the half Lecompton increased the margin during the third quarter, but in the last period Oread closed the gap with a quick succession of field goals to within one point of the winners. Each team scored again and the game ended with the small lead still in Lecompton's favor.
Lecompton high school won 16 to 15 from Orestrain Training School last night in a basketball game that became a close match, 7-3, toss-up, in the closing minutes of play.
Murphy, Goodrich and Harding did all the scoring for the visitors, and Oreada's points were well distributed among the entire team. This game was the first on schedule. They will play a return game at Lecompton Wednesday night.
Adjustant Herbert Hill of the Kansas City Salvation Army will be the guest speaker at the Westminster student forum this evening.
Mr. Hill was formerly of London and was commissioned into the army by General Booth, its noted founder. His subject will be "Read the War Cry." The Westminster forum meets at 7:30 at 1221 Oread.
SPEAKER OF STUDENT GROUP
ADJUTANT HILL TO BE GUEST
opera. David Shad, and of George C. Shad, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, underwent an operation yesterday for open reduction of fracture of the arm. Authorities at the Lawrence Memorial hospital stated last night that he was doing very well. The operation was necessitated by the fact that it was impossible to set the form of fracture suffered by David Shad by manual means, and it was necessary to set the fracture by surgical means. He fractured his arm Tuesday while performing on a turning bar at his home.

In their honeyman in Paris, Bill is beginning to show early symptoms of being a neglectful husband, even failing to show up to meet Sara's father, Eve and Lyman have turned up in Paris on their wedding tour, and Bill has been spending the truant time with his old love. This devotion to Eve grows into alarming proportions, despite Sara's pleading with Bill. Finally Johne Coles, an old admirer of Sara's confesses——"

Lindley Stresses Import of Christmas Seal Sales
He Says
'Immense Power in Many Small Contributions' He Saves
"In previous years the University Christmas seals sale has demonstrated the immense power of small contributions when large numbers of persons contribute," said Chancellor EH. Lindley yesterday in speaking of the importance of the Christmas seal drive now in progress on the hill. "When a student uses tuberculosis seals it is a sign that he is a member of one of the greatest armies ever mobilized to destroy an ancient enemy of mankind. A little help from all insures that conquest." he added.
While the campaign, as conducted here at the University, is under the auspices of the Douglas County Tuberculosis association as a part of the national Christmas seal drive, a large portion of the proceeds will be returned to the University student health services to be used in financing clinics.
The students are being reached through the organized houses and boarding clubs. Lists of contributions will appear in the Kansan from time to time.

Big Six Officials to Vote on Radio Broadcast Later
Dr. Allen Explains Kansas Position; Basketball Rules Adopted for 1934
The question of whether to broadcast or not to broadcast football games occupied much of the Friday afternoon session of Big Six athletic directors at their meeting at Excelsior Springs, and was taken up also by the faculty representatives yesterday morning. Both groups voted unanimously to defer until the May meeting, final decision in the matter.
"The published statements say that the University and its athletic director opposed broadcasting place Kansas and its athletic director in a false light," said Dr. F. C. Allen, last night, on his return from the meetings.
Published statements yesterday indicated that three of the schools—Missouri, Kansas State and Oklahoma, favored broadcasts, and Kansas was said to oppose the plan, with Nebraska and Iowa State lukewarm.
Allen Recommends Fair Study
"My position has always been for a fair study of the proposition in an endeavor to arrive at a decision of what will benefit the most concerned.
"Action of the conference, that of leaving the question open for further study, coincides with my own view. Action by the time the 1934 season starts.
"I owe to the public a great debt of gratitude for the many years I have lived."
Dr. Allen said that in general, the work of both the directors and the faculty representatives was along the path of strict economy followed last year.
Dr. Allen said that one suggestion made in the directors' meeting was that games should be broadcast from the home station of the visiting team, and relayed by remote control from the field of play. This, he said, would give the friends of the team away from home—perhaps too far for many of its followers to go to the game—to get the detailed report, while those near enough to attend under present re-parameters could respond to Six, would get little or less effective broadcast. No action was taken on the suggestion.
Limit Basket-Ball Squads
Reduced schedules will be played in swimming, wrestling, baseball, and tennis. The rule adopted two years ago limiting the traveling basketball team to nine, with the designation of nine home team men for the game, will be followed again this year. One official only will be used for the basketball games, except the two between Kansas and Missouri, for which two will be provided, at the request of Missouri. Fred Young of Bloomington, Ill., and E. Jones of Grand Island, Neb., will be the officials.
Dana X. Bible athletic director and head football coach at the University of Nebraska, was appointed to report on the relative efficiency of various methods outlined for the handling of substitutions for football teams at the university. He agreed that some definite form should be adopted to solve this problem.
coach Bible said that he would like to see the conference adopt a plan whereby the coaches themselves would be made responsible for the handling of substitutions. Nebraska players help in this work, Bible said. He intimated that the work might even be done by the coach. Any plan that would take the work out of the hands of the officials would be a good one it was agreed.
Dill on Committee
A committee was appointed to standardize the summaries in football and basketball following a continued agitation on the part of several schools. George Edwards of Missouri, W. A. Dill of Kansas and R. I. Thackery of Kansas State were appointed. Mr. Dill, who is head of the Kansas news bureau, has been appointed to this subject which appertained to this subject during the last few weeks.
Counting of first downs on touchdowns and agreement on the point from which the yardage on punts should be determined are among the important questions to be settled by the committee.
Further work of the meeting yesterday included the setting of dates for the various Big Six meets this year. The conference swimming meet will be held at Lincoln, Neb., March 10; the indoor track meet at Columbia, Mo., March 3; the conference wrestling and tennis meets at Lincoln, May 18-19.
