Better Missions, Not More, Needed, Says Arthur Rugh
J. M. C. A. Official Tells Why Club of Radical Change Needed in System
HOLDS OPEN FORUM
Stating that there is a need for better missionaries, but not more missionaries, Arthur Rugh spoke before the Why club and open forum last night in Central Administration auditorium on "Why Missors."
The speaker based his statements on a recently published book entitled "Re-Thinking Missions." The book contains the report of the Commission appointed by the Layman's Foreign Missions Inquiry to study missions in the Far East and to make recommendations concerning their future. Pearl Buck, a well-known author, in a report he published said that the first missionaries are the best material yet on religion, and that it is only the religious book with which the entirely agrees.
Was 'Y' Representative in China
Having been national secretary of the Y.M.C.A. in China for twenty-three years, Mr Rugh directed most of his remarks toward the missionary work n that country.
"We are in the beginning of a new era in missions," said Mr. Rug, "and now the real question is 'What kind of missions?' I wish that I could be listed as a missionary, just by the record of the past work of missions. The modern, public approach with social consciousness will make for greater achievement."
Radical Change Now
Pictured is a radical hinge in method of work in foreign and, Mr. Tugh said that the mission must strive to help the people in Pakistan.
Radical Change Needed
No.68
One of the principal conclusions in Re-Thinking Missions" is: "We believe that the time has come to set the educational and other philanthropic actions, so as to give our organization responsibility to the work of the conscious and direct evangelism. We must work with greater faith in invisible successes, be willing to give水 to others who need it, and operate whole-heartedly with the non-Cristian agencies for social improvement, and to foster the initiative of the Orient in defining the ways in which we shall be invited to help. Following Mr. MR. Rugh conducted an open forum.

Comparing the religious life of his day with that of today, Arthur Rugh spoke to the two Christian Association members on Saturday afternoon at Henley house.

The University Women's club will hold a meeting tonight, at 8:30, at the Memorial Union for the husbands of students, and for the single men of the faculty.
"In my day, we had religion on Sunday with Bible study, prayer, devotion and certain beliefs, while you today save religion seven days a week combining study, work, and the whole perimeter. You measure religion today in life."
Special invitations are being sent the guests only, but the members of the club hope that everyone who can will come and enjoy the entertainment which has been especially prepared for the occasion.
Husker Honorary Colonel
The speaker humourously summarized life by saying: "Nobody any longer obeys his parents, and everyone wants to write a book." He quoted Bishop McCunnell in saying that the religious college student "is a Christianism."

M.S.C. APPROVES OF OPEN DANCES; W.S.G.A. TO VOTE
Council Passes Resolution;
Afternoon Affairs Will Be
Held Downtown; Hour
Dancing Abolished
TWO DANCES A WEEK
Denton and Balch Elected to Represent Council in N.S.F.A. Conference
Joint Resolution
Be it resolved by the Associated Men
of the University of Kansas and
the women's Student Governing Association:
Result of a questionnaire which was set over a week ago to determine student opinion on afternoon dancing, inferred that students were in favor of seas dances if they were held downtown. The resulting report is submitted to the Council, and which is yet to be approved by the W. G. A. reads as follows:
In a meeting of the Men's Student Council at the Memorial Union last night, a joint resolution favoring afternoon dances was passed, and President Harold Denton, c'm3, and Joe Bailer, first year law, were elected to represent the council at the N. S. F. A. conference at New Orleans.
2. Therefore, the Men's Stu-
 Council does not favor the plan sub-
mitted to it by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs and presents the Jel-
1. Whereas, we do not feel that the plan submitted by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs for having afternoon dances in the Memorial Union would
2. Whereas, the majority of organized nurses have asked to dance and have agreed to limit the total number of fraternities, two, three for each fraternity and two, three for each fraternity.
4. That afternoon教会 be held at places of business to be specially authorized by the Joint Committee on Student Affairs.
Two Days a Week
5. That such dances be authorized only on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon between the hours of 4:30 and 6
7. That no mixer (ginger ale or beer) be sold at the places of business where dances are held during the named decorations above.
9. That this plan be in effect only during the present school year.
8. That the Joint Committee on Student Affairs reserves the right to withdraw any authorization at any time it sees fit.
In connecting on the resolution passed last night, Eugene Manning, secretary, said that before the new resolution could go into effect it would be necessary for it to pass the W. S. G. A. and be approved by the chancellor.
As reasons for the passing of this motion the council gave two main issues.
1. That the sentiment expressed by the student body in a questionnaire sent out by the Council indicates that student interest should be matched to the dances if held in the Building to pay the expense involved which would be approximately $60.00 thus requiring 24 couples in attendance at 23 events admission for the students.
"2. That if held downtown the University would be relieved of all financial responsibility connected with the dances."
Would Abolish Fall Vacation
In the election of Bailch and Denton to the convention at New Orleans, the council based their judgment on 'the two men which would be able to "get the most out of the conference" by attending the purpose of sending the delegates said that the main reason for sending them to learn methods used by other schools in handling activity tickets, and used by others in their honor systems.
A suggestion come before the council, suggesting that the Thanksgiving vacation be done away with, and the time taken for a longer Easter vacation. Reasons given for this suggestion were, that the Thanksgiving vacation comes only three weeks before the spring break, and that the break in classroom activity in the spring semester is the short Easter vacation.
The matter was tabled for further consideration, and referred to a committee for investigation. The committee appointed by the president consisted of Walter Smith, c34; chairman Koney, c38; and Bill Johnson, c33.
