MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1930 "SWEET CHARITY" Leaving the doors of fraternity houses unlocked all night may be a new and easy way of helping the poor and needy, but what assurance have the donors that their gifts are going to the place where they are needed most badly? If the fraternity brothers have clothes and personal belongings to which they no longer attach much value, we suggest that they put them into the hands of a charitable organization where there will be some control over distribution. There are numerous needy families in Lawrence who would have been greatly benefited by a wise distribution of the property which was stolen, and the donors would have experienced a satisfaction impossible under the present system. "I expect to flunk the majority of my courses, but the profs will know they've had a fight on their hands," says the Sophisticated Sophomore inspired by the strategy of Knute Rocke. LITTLE OLD VILLAGE HOLLY LISTED VILLEAGE Little wreaths and mistletoe are again decorating the Little Old Village and all of us are thinking of old St. Nicholas, stockings before the fireplace, plum puddings, and candy. But a lot of us have grown up now, and there's one thing that we are missing out on. We can't walk down the street anymore holding excitedly to Mother's hand, and have kindly, jolly fat, little "Uncle" Joe Starkley stop and ask us to recite what we want for Christmas. We remember how, under the sympathetic and deeply interested smile of Uncle Joe, our wants grew and we liped on a long length to discourage even a Herculean Santa Claus. But Uncle Joe always looked as if he would make a personal visit to Santa to see that we received every last thing that we mentioned, and so we told him all sorts of things that we would like to have. We knew that we would not have to wait till Christmas for one treat, because before Uncle Joe started on down the street he would always reach in his coat pocket, bring forth a handful of little chocolate-covered peppermint drops, and put them in our hands. We usually got scouted afterwards by Mother for dripping chocolate down the front of ourselves, but we wouldn't have missed having those candies for anything. Occasionally we are still fortunate enough to be given some of Uncle Joe's favorite sweets, but we've grown too old for him to bother about asking us what we want Santa to bring us while Mother stands by and smilingly makes a mental note of what to get u Uncle Joe ought to take pity on, grown-ups too, and ask us what we want while mother or friend stands by and gets an idea of our Christmas wants. But Uncle Joe has eyes only for the girl who is wearing them—and being overlooked by him at Christmas seems to be one of the prices of growing up. Bishop Manning is finding competition in his rashness by one professor on the Hill who remarked in his class this morning: "I will not go into religion, for I'm afraid my dogmatism would go against your catechism." PING-PONG FOR GENTLEMEN In the men's lounge of the Unis building the high lords of creation have a ping-pong table for their special amusement in leisure hours. Evidently women are not supposed to indulge in such a strenuous game like Strange or to beat, however, women might like to bat the little ball against the table as well as men do. For some unknown reason the game is not placed in the central lounge along with the checkers and radio. Money may not be available to buy another table. But is there any particular reason why the table cannot be placed in the central lounge or in the women's lounge for half the time? It would be a very noble gesture of unselflessness on the part of the men if they would tear themselves from the game for a few weeks, and give the women a chance to build up their muscle. Dolly and Alice seem to have setted their little feud to everyone's satisfaction, but we notice that Mrs. Hoover has been careful to revise her social schedule so that they will not have to come to the White House at the same time. The President might learn a lesson in politics from Mrs. Hoover. HOOVER AS A POLITICIAN The prophecies of harmony for the present session of Congress seem to be going the way of pre-compaign promises and religious vown at an emo- tology rally. Without question President Hoover is following a program which he believes is for the best interests of the country. In the opinion of many, his program has more to recommend it than the programs of the factions opposed to him. The difficulty arises over the fact that the President apparently made no effort before the session convened to come to an understanding with leaders in either the House or the Senate as to the program to be pursued. Many of the issues presented in his opening speeches are a total surprise to the beneficiaries. Although there is urgent need for scientific thinking in our government, the time has not arrived when the President of the United States can carry through a program, no matter how wise, without considerable political maneuvering. President Hoover, having never held an elective office prior to his election to the presidency, has not learned to manipulate his legislators in the time-honored fashion of American politics, which even in this enlightened age seems indispensable. "Spend for prosperity," say our political leaders. "But I still can't see how spending $4.75 for a cut in the Jayhawker will make me prosperous," observed the Insolvent Senior. OUR MODERN PHARISEES Religious feeling and creation to challenging statements "have no changed greatly in 29 centuries, it would seem after the incident in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, yesterday, involving Ben B. Lindsay. Perhaps the worshippers at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine have more enlightened views on marriage than Ben B. Lindsay; but they forget the principle of free speech for which people since the dawn of civilization have suffered untold horrors. Here Lindsey is their superior, for he invited his opponents to present their view at his meeting on Dec. 20 without fear of molestation. Lindsay may be a false prophet, but the reactions of his fashionable audience showed little evidence of a civilizing influence. Brihly-dressed women, the Jewish and old, shamed "Lynch him." In morning dress, who quite likely are proud of their ability to meet a business crisis calmly and judicially, cried out, "Punch him!" and many did punch him. Headline — "Family Increased By Seven in One Year." Just another worry for Hoover's unemployment commission. THAT TIME CALLED "CHRISTMAS" Old Man Calendar has been creeping steadily around until now Christmas is almost with us again. This holiday has the distinction of being the most widely discussed and considered season of the year. Children start a month ahead of time deciding what they want as gifts and writing letters to Santa Claus; parents take advantage of the approaching day and use it as an aid in disciplining their offspring with awful suggestion. A "bundle of switches" is a trickery. Men freet over Christmas expenses an wonder where the money is coming from. Students rejoice because Christmas means holidays and a consequent trip home. Sweetheartes wonder what to give that looks expensive but isn't Merchants figure on big sales and profits. Christmas means hurry, excitement fun, worry and disappointment. In the rush we almost lose sight of the true reason for the day for business has succeeded pretty well in making the season a commercial enterprise. But regardless of all its faults, Christmas is a wonderful time! An announcement by a roadside refreshment house on one of the state highways proclaims, "We now serve me in our sandwiches." At the Recital By Sara W. Thompson --the second selection, "Preclude, Two, in F Major" by Whelpley, a dignified and solemn composition presented by Ednah Hopkins; violin; Catherine Lawrence, cello; and Ruth Spindler, as performed with more authority. The musical vespers given by at a Phil Epiite yesterday afternoon in the University auditorium were attended by a large number of friends, friends of sorority and Sunday campus visitors from over the state. Both active and alumnae members took part in the event. the first number, "Sonata in D major" by Mozart, arranged for two planes by Grieg, was played by Kathleen McMorran and Faire Wine, two new members of the organization. This work with charm was given with quiet charm. Enterprise Knox and Jean Seillard soprano; and Helen Beard, contrato were accompanied by Dorothy Kuersteiner and Helen Stockwell, violins and Helen Carlos, piano, in "Fly, Singing" light and high and smoothly blended. Mrs. Alice Moncrieff submitted to Neva Hendrickson, so pranato, in the fourth number, an ensemble "Heavenly Dance," taken by Helen Stockwell; for piano, by Elizabeth Cleary, and for organ by Elywyn Eustace. They emphasized the beautiful melody of this work as a symphonic sympathetic and moving intermediation. "Variations on a Theme by Beet- hoven" (Saint-Saens), a difficult cla- ssical composition in canon form, was brilliantly presented by Janet Coulson and Evelyn Swarthowt. Both of the films showed finished, mature technique. Two numbers for voice ensemble were next. They were sung by a group composed of three voices, Neede Headstrong, Entertainer Knox, Kathheen Merran, Alice Moncrief, Merthiah Moore, Irene Peabody, Meryll Swarthwold, Evelyn Swarthwold, the piano, "Prayer" (from Boria Goudnow), by Moussierpour, was reminiscent of the French melody he had heard, though it was not given the elaborate shading that characterized the Russians' performance, "After" (Coughless). It was lifting and spring-like in mood. Junior Colleges Seek State Aid John—Junior college officials of Kansas are determined to seek state aid as a result of a meeting here, according to the university's website. The meeting was attended by 27 junior college authorities and representatives of the state legislature, and the generally expressed opinion, glanced from the open forum discussions, was that the college will be at least 15% a year for each pupil. An organ duet, the familiar "Ride o, the Valkyrie" (Wagner), by Dorothy Enlow and Ruth Spindler, provided a short but vivid pictorial finale for the music is much more powerful in effect on the organ than in orchestral arrangement.
