Commons Building Being Remodeled for Classrooms
Anatomy Students Move
From Dyche Museum
After Structure
Is Condemned
OWL OFFICE CHANGED
Workmen were busy today building class room partitions in the Commons building to accommodate students in the department of anatomy who were moved from their quarters in Dyche museum yesterday after the buildings was closed by order of the Board of Regents.
Tables, stools, lights, and other pieces of equipment which are used in class work were being moved today in a hall where the educators used by students in experimental work reposed in their metal containers in the rear of the Commons
The order that closed Dyehe after J. W. Radotinsky had declared the building unsafe for occupancy caused several changes in class room arrangements. The offices of the Sour Owl, which had been in the Commons building were moved temporarily into the newsroom of the Kamsan. The office was also told to hold session sessions in Commons, also had to move out.
Stenographic Bureau Moved
Stenographic Bureau Moved Latin classes of the Oral Training School that were formerly held in Commons have been transferred to 308 Praer hall, according to Marguerite Pillarsen, a stenographer at the stenographic bureau, formerly in Commons, were shifted to the fourth floor of Watson library.
Classes in the department of anatomy have not been holding sessions since Dyche was closed. Classroom work will be resumed Friday, present plans indicate, if necessary equipment is in place by then.
Use Snow Material
Workmen today are digging a ditch for the foundations of a building in which to store contents of Dyche music. It will be southwest of the power plant.
It will be a frame building, 44 feet by 80 feet, covered with iron, which will be taken off later and replaced with stone. Material that is being taken from Snow hall will be used in the con- lining of the roof of the snow hall. The building will be used for a machine shop after Dyche is repaired.
It will probably be a month or more before the building is ready for use.
At present only the heavier pieces will be removed, but before any repairs can be made, the building must be completely vacated. However, until an appropriation for the work is made by the legislature of Kansas, most of the mueum is still vacant. However, the building will not be open either for visitors or for classroom use
When all of the equipment of the department of anatomy has been removed, the building will be locked and will stand vacated of human life until the legislature appropriates enough money to enable repairs to be made.

Smoky and Peter Find Platonic Friendship in Museum Prison
The University of Kansas seems to share in everything; even unusual friendships. Such a platoon relationship has developed between Smoky, a common brown rat, and Peter, an overgrown rabbit; both were rescued at the assistance of the Dyche museum. Smoky arrived on the campus in a shipment of white rats about three years ago. The rabbit is a newcomer, having arrived only four months ago. While Smoky's fellow student was born with white rats, who fall afoul of medical students, Smoky, because of his unusual tameness has been kept as a pet. Peter, was looked upon as a suspicious character at first, but soon Smoky became accustomed to his cell mate, and friendship has now sprang between them.
They get along famous, Professor Henry C. Tracy, of the anatomy department said. The rat is now climbing out of the cage more than usual, the snake's movements seem to cause he seems to know that something unusual is happening. The rabbit crouches in the bottom of the cage hardly moving until Smoky is put in his bed and then moves back and resumes him affectively; pushing him back into the rear of the cage and trying to keep him there. Professor Tracy said that Smoky now sleeps lying on Peter's neck, or sprawled along the Peter's neck, or sprawled with his nose buried in his fur.

Carter, British appeal would be made public in tomorrow morning's newspapers. Officials of the State department said they were not advised on the content of the appeal and that Mr. Carter kept in his personal possession.

Repeal and Relief to Face Congress in Short Session
Regular Legislative Bill to Be Sidetracked for Emergency Enactments
Washington, Dec. 1. —(UP)—Major issues before the short session of congress which will convene Monday have obscured many measures which in normal times would receive lengthy consideration. Beer, repeal tax, legislation and appropriation are certain to consume almost all of the short session.
BEER TO COME EARLY
The Hawes-Cutting bill providing gradual independence for the Philippine islands would be in this class except for the fact that the senate ally has been sent to deliberation. Leaders hope to conclude debate in one day. If this is impossible, they are disposed to continue with the bill and finish. Even then a senate and house disagreement over provisions of delay its enactment beyond March 4.
Most other measures now on the senate and house calendar will therefore die with the session. They must be met before the next meeting next year if they are to be passed.
The Glass-Steagle banking bill designated the use of federal receive funds for speculative purposes has been on the senate calendar since last spring when relief legislation was introduced. There is little chance of passage at the short session but will undoubtedly be revived soon after the new administration and the new congress come into being. Other measures on the senate calendar which appeared to be side-tracked include the Norbock farm relief bill, based on a system of adjustment based on income, cotton, wheat, and hogs; the Norris resolution, creating a corporation to operate Muscle Sheaels and authorizing the lease of the property under certain conditions; and the Lewis resolution, creating a senate committee to study issues concerning government departments and abolishing others in the interests of economy and efficiency.

2. Persuade Europe to sell bonds to private investors, and with the proceeds make cash settlement at once with the United States.

2. Why cannot European countries reduce armaments to pay just debts? French debt payments last year were $2.50 per Frenchman; German debt payments last year were $4.10 per Frenchman.
2. If payments of vast sums between governments are so harmful to international good will, why have the European Allies exacted from Germany sums far greater than they have paid to the United States?
1. The debts are unjust; America owes Europe for carrying on the war for two years before the United States sent troops to Europe.
2. The debts are a tremendous burden. (Purely a psychological reason, Mr. Hard said.)

HARD ADVANCES OPTIMISTIC VIEW ON WORLD PEACE
Noted Political Commentator Discusses World Affairs From View-point of Journalist
PRAISES NEW LEADER
Lecturer Declares That War Resulting From Economic Stress Is Only Threat
In speaking of the recent election, Mr. Hard said the principal mandate of the people was "not to be Republican." He advised both the Republicans and Democrats to give Franklin D. Roosevelt the trust of their hopes and confidences. 'Don't waste sympathy on President Roosevelt,' he said. His wife, Nancy, is a White House with a banyon joynesses—it is a characteristic of the Roosevelts.'
Painting an optimistic picture of the international situation, Hard William hard, political commentator, had night told of the catition of two kinds of war and the rapid disappearance of the third, said he feared the fourth uphold the action of the League of Nations in the Menchurian situation, and advised heavy pairing of debts overseas. He also predicted that this congress, or the next, would grant independence to the Pollinine islands.
International Affairs First
"International affairs are primary, and should precede the affairs of the nation." Mr. Hard stated. These affairs must be recognized and stabilized to secure the prosperity and happiness of each individual country." The speaker went en to say that the view of international affairs was pessimistic primarily wars as predicted by foreign travellers.
"There are four types of wars," Mr. Durf declared. "The religious and imperialistic war have definitely gone out of existence, the political, or imperialistic war is on its way, but the economic war till threats armed conflict."
Praises League Stand
Mr. Hard praised the recent stand of the League of Nations toward the Manchurian crisis as a correct position. He declared that the Japanese had embraced the good imposition in Manchuria, but that they were trying to do what can no longer be done in this country to hold down a population against its will.
"The Disarmment conference was a disappointment to everybody." Mr. Hard said. "Each nation was willing to give it." He gave it, but he continued, "it is encouraging to note that the nations have at last realized the necessity for disarmament and are impelled to make constructive suggestions to obtain this
The speaker went on to say that wars resulting from economic situations were extremely distressing and dangerous. Each country had an international accord to expand exports," he said, "and this results in high tariff duties, especially on agricultural products."
Mr. Hard offers two possible methods of receiving payment or part payment of the 21 billion dollars owed the United States by foreign countries. He believes this country should enter negotiations with the foreign nations and determine whether or not they are in need to pay, and be heard before they repudiate the debts with only a slight possibility of ever resuming them.
Believes in Money Compromise
Believes in Money Comprisoise
"Another possibility," he said, to have the debtors compromise on the amount of money to be paid. Europeans could be private investment in the proceeds of the sale would be offered to the United States as a cash settlement. The principal reason that the debt problem should be solved immediately," Mr. Hard declared, "is because it forces the government into competition with international trade."
In concluding his talk Mr. Hard advised the members of his audience to keep their eyes on Washington policies which will put the government into economic competition with other countries of the world.
"Peace cannot survive under such conditions," he declared.
