All-Activities Fee Is Being Planned to Cut Expenses
4.
Joint Council Committee Expects to Present Complete Project Tomorrow
Plans for a general student activity ticket designed to cut down the expenses of activities for University students next year will be announced tomorrow by the investigating committee from the Men's Student Council association, the University Society association, Harold Denton, c32, president of the Council, said today.
NEED IS IMPERATIVE
At a meeting in the Memorial Union this morning, the committee heard plans for the general activity ticket, but was unwilling to give the details for publication, as a few small changes would be needed. The port will be ready tomorrow, Denton said at the conclusion of the meeting. The committee is composed of Alice Learned, £34, Camilla Luther, £33, Helen Helen, £33, night Wallace, F33, Claud Hartwig, B33, Gordon Mushcher, ¢33, chairman, and Denton.
Investigated for Months
For the past several months the investigation committee has held on the matter in a charity vault.
The fact that the student enterprise ticket will be discontinued next year because of lack of finances has made this action necessary. Without the ticket, students will be compelled to thanor tauri the former amount for activities listed in the enterprise ticket.
Investigated for Months
According to Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, the enterprise ticket this year has been maintained only by virtue of reserve funds which have been left from previous years. "Next year," he said, "it will be impossible to offer an enter-ticket to a number of tickets that have been unused." The sale of tickets this year dropped off almost 50 per cent.
Javhawker Will Suffer
In addition to the enterprise ticket being forced to discontinue, the committee from the two student councils found that lack of funds will force the Jayhawk to drop from its all-America rating to a second or third rate book.
Camilla Luther, member of the investigating committee, said today that with proper support from the student committee, she could have possible a considerable saving to each student in the University. Helen Houston, after the meeting this morning, said "If this plan goes through, it will be easier to find work, but will also help the University."
In commenting on the activity of the committee, Gordon Schubmacher, chairman, said: "The plans for the general student activity ticket are now almost completed. We will announce the finished report tomorrow."

Davis Condemns Modern Methods in Statesmanship
School of Law Dean Tells Women's Club That Reorganization Is Needed
HOPE IN WORLD TRADE
"Statemanship in the world today is definitely following the wrong trend," said Robert McMair Davis, dean of the School of Law in an address before the Lawrence Business and Professional Women's club last evening. The speech culminated the monthly meeting of the organization held in the Eldridge hotel.
WRITTEN
"The machine must be reorganized and altered to meet changing conditions in the world today." Dean Davis added. "The countries of the world are so different that there is no misconception of their own policies. During 1929, more than $670,000,000 worth of goods traversed between countries, and yet statement advocate protection from invading trade. Every country is dependent upon every other country for its survival," he said. "A single nation that could survive if we were cut off from all foreign trade."
The subject of the talk was "American Foreign Policy on the World Court". Dean Davis pointed out the need for a committee for the organization and agreement of trading countries in addition to the three present international systems-World conference, World Court, and the League of Nations.
In concluding, the speaker said, "The lay of trade barriers has passed. We must educate our statesmen to realize the advantages of foreign trade and be fact that trade is the basis of successful business operation."
"During recent years nations have been slow to realize the intricate meaning of increased foreign trade The misconception seems to point toward increased external pressure Our present world-wide depleted condition has therefore continued. In a time not far off I hope that the machine will witness its breakdown and the trend will be toward development in an international interlocking of foreign imports."
Dean Davis, in thinking ahead with other authorities on the present downfall of the entire economic system, appears to be definitely convinced that business recovery is definitely delayed by the outstanding factor of trade.

Says Institute Places an Al normal Emphasis on
Sports
Washington, Jan. 4. (UP)—Approval of the "reduction of abnormal emphasis upon athletics," at Haskell Institute was announced today by the Indiana bureau in concluding a controversy over dismissal of Frank W. McDonald as the institute director of athletics.
While not naming McDonald, whose contract as athlete director was discontinued by the school's athletic association, the bureau said changes at Haskell are in line with similar programs beginning this year everywhere. Those in charge of the educational administration of Indian affairs are strongly in favor of school and college athletics, the statement read. "They are determined, however, to make the emphasis the physical and recreational education of the boys in Haskell rather than commercialized institutional athletics."

New York, Jan. 4.—(UP)—Technocracy suggests wiping out the flow of commodities and provides payment for work, and substituting "units of measurement such as the erg, the jugle, or the calorie." Des
Joule: A unit of electrical energy;
the work done in keeping up for 1
second, the current of 1 ampere,
or 1 A. The same as the amp.
A joule equals 10,000,000 cgs.
Technocracy Definitions
Send the Kansan home.
Erg: A unit of work and of energy. The kinetic energy of 2 grams moving at the rate of 1 centimeter a second.
Preamblely, the technocrats, abolishing dollars "because they fluctuate in value" would have workers and managers that, by contrast, those units which are constant, would have to be represented by pieces of paper—currency—because no other means of carrying around euros in one's pocket has yet been
In other words, we would have to have a new system of exchange, and the dollar sign on our currency presumably would be replaced by some technological representation representing the labor done by the worker.
No. 76
Calorie: A unit of heat; the heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree, centigrade.
The technocrats have not yet explained how this is to be accomplished.

North China Waits Uneasily for Move Near Shanhaikwan
Japanese Believed Preparing to Push Defenders Back to Iwan River
AIRPLANES ON WAY
Peiping, Jan. 4, -(UP)—Captain Arcandi Gluckman, assistant U.S. military attach, left for the ruined city of Shanhaikwan today to make an independent investigation of the Japanese invasion of China proper.
Meanwhile, North China waited unequally for a renewal of the Japanese advance. The important cities of Tretenin and Peiping were nervous over persistent and undenied reports that a Japanese aircraft carrier was hovering nearby, ready for possible air raids on northern cities. The cities are without air defense.
Since the bombardment and seizure of Shanhaikwan, not a shot had been fired in the last 24 hours and the Japanese announced they were not extending their operations immediately. The Chinese also have their defence operations, however.
Foreign attaches hoped the bill would continue, but feared that any one of three facts might cause hostilities. They were:
The Japanese might begin an advance, on the province of Jebol which they apparently plan to add to the Manchurian holdings.
The Chinese might start a counter-attack to surprise the Japanese before they can bring up reinforcements. On outbreak of popular indignation might cause a provocative incident and lead to retaliation, pretext to extend their invasion.
Foreign observers did not expect the Japanese to remain content with the Chinese withdrawal to Chang, south of Guangzhou, and to maintain their denializing their Shanbakhi war position, to push the defenders to the Iwan river. Such a move would be preparatory to incorporating the临南 territory into China's territories and the Iwan river within Manshukhuo.
Move Just Local, Japan Says
Tokio, Jan. 4- (UPD): Foreign minister Ukiho, (upd.) instructed the Japanese delegation to Geneva to notify the League of Nations assembly that the seizure of Shanhaikwan was to be treated as a local incident.

"In addition to information on the student activity ticket which we are trying to put into effect here, we also learned a new method of handling voting which should clear up elections on this campus. The main feature of the system is its use of the registration card."
In continuing, Denton said that although most of the time at the conference was spent in discussion groups, several fine speakers were there. The speaker, he said, was Huxley Lloyd. The three delegates made the 19p by automobile.

Permanent establishment of the Henry Schott Memorial Prize in Advertising at the University of Kansas, was announced today by L. N. Flint, head of the department of journalism. The announcement followed the receipt of $2,500, from the estate of Mrs. Henry Schott, with instructions that the income from the prize be established in 1928 by Mrs. Schott, as a memorial to her husband.

Sir Harry comes from a notable tour of the world in which he appeared in the leading cities of India, South Afrika, New Z-land, Australia, and other far countries. He has not been in America for three years.
Sir Harry Lauder, comedian-singer will be presented as an added attraction to the regular concert course Friday evening, Jan. 13 in the University Hall. This is the first appearance Sir Harry has made at the University.
