CHRISTMAS CHEER
Almost with the same enthusiasm of Santa Claus days, students look forward to Christmas, or more particularly, to Christmas vacation. Christmas will be a happy event for practically all students. The prospect of two whole weeks of rest and recreation, however, may overshadow the real spirit of Christmas. Students are apt to be a little selfish in their anticipation.
That is chiefly because real poverty is lacking on the campus. Even though many self-supporting students find going pretty hard, there is not the grawing hunger and lack of necessities that may be found in every city and in most small communities. Christmas will be different in those places. So with vacation and Christmas joys just ahead, students may well look beyond the campus and take a hand in the many charities that send out their appeals at this time of year.
With son and daughter returning home from college this week-end, the home-town gossips will collect enough data to tide them through until Easter vacation.
OUT OF THE FOG
Student life is parallel to the weather situation on Mt. Grease. We go "out of the fog and into the rain." It is all sunny when school convenes in September. The renewed contacts with books starts with a waz. Classes seem short and interesting. Assignments pass, over our beads and genially fade away in the glowing sunset.
As days pass on the sun dins under the veil of a gathering fog—a fog of cumulative assignments, increasing activities, wasted opportunity, Mid-seenestern cast a deep shroud on the bloomy prospect. Incomplete and cut classes darken an already shadowy atmosphere.
Forthwith the time draw night nigh for the semester's sprint at the tape, the last few weeks before finals. Then comes the rain, first a few drops of short quizzes, then splashes of themes, reports, papers. Blood runs cold, for there comes a blizzard of double-quick text coverage and classes hammering in the final blast of details.
The roaring winds suddenly cease momentarily. The holidays are here. A shift of the wind, and a tightening of the clouds has yielded a grim hour of mercy.
A glance at the leaden skies is not reassuring—for the final storm is yet to come. Crumming, back-work, completion of the course, gigantic buffeting must be undergone before we can weather the storm and come out into the sunshine—of next semester.
With yesterday's key weather we were just waiting for some one to pull that old one about forward one step and backward two.
WE TOLD YOU SO
Before Thanksgiving vacation the students on the Hill were warned of diseases against which they should guard when they go away for vaca-
bions. Doctor Canutetes of the Student Hospital issued warnings and reminded the students of the free services of the hospital. But in spite of all warnings and advice, a flood of colds were taken to the Student Hospital for treatment following the Thanksgiving vacation. These colds were gathered from all over the state, brought back to Lawrence, and spread among the students.
Now that Christmas vacation is just before them, the students should need the warnings and advice of the hospital even more than before. Christmas holidays with their abundance of rich foods and parties give colds and the more-feared diseases marvelous opportunities to thrive. Earnest consideration should be given the seriousness of possible epidemics and the care that could prevent such serious conditions.
A vital question: truth or convention? Is it best to answer the careless, "How're yuh?" with an accurate summary of the ills to which your flesh is heir, or to growl, "Fine, you're you?"
HEFLIN DISBARRED
The Democratic states committee has voted to hit Senator Hefflin from the next primary because he failed to support Al Smith for president last year. The Abbaum senator had good personal reasons for his course but it has caused the party to put him on the shelf.
Such an action on the part of the Democratic committee shows that the party is yet alive and the controlling factor in Southern politics. Again, it shows that the party is preparing for the next campaign—and perhaps, it may again nominate the ex-governor of New York for president. At any rate, the hostile attitude of Helfin probably cost him his political career.
LONG SKIRTS
Thousands of men have expressed their disapproval of Dame Fashion's selection of longer skirts for the women. These men have been too hasty in their criticisms of the wise old matron. A few hours of unselfish and intensive thought would have resulted in nothing but praise for the choice of the Dame.
Her selection is economically sound. The hosiery manufacturers has overshadowed all other textile workers during the reign of the short skirt. Their power must be broken and the best way is to conceal their products. It is only fair to permit the dress-makers to have their turn at bat to even up the score.
Again, longer skirts will improve the appearance of the American girl by concealing her physical defects. The short skirt she must wear
The short skirt has made the short girls look shorter, the far girl looks much taller. The skimmy girls look skimmer. The longer the skirt, the greater the beauty.
"Oh there's no hope for me in French. Professor Blank has a spite on me." This from the young lady who has taken all the cuts she is allowed in the course, and made only hurried and sketchy preparation for the majority of meetings which she did attend. Searching for a peg upon which to hong the reproach for the poor grade she realizes is too soon forthcoming from the course, she has chosen her instructor as the most likely and thereby removed the blame from her own conscience by a simple, painless mental operation.
Has he not continually "picked on the mademiole in class?" Indeed he has—until he has exhausted all hope that persistent efforts on his part will ever make her see the necessity of consistent daily preparation for the learning of the language.
BLAME THE INSTRUCTOR
Has she not tried to recite whenever called upon? Granted: It is not recitation for the sake of recitation, however, but as a test of the knowledge one should have of the subject that the professor wants.
And so with the other proofs of his unfairness toward her. No man who has enough intelligence to occupy a University chair would be small minded to take out a personal spite on his students in class.

In an English class recently, the professor in reading came to the name Ramona, and looked up.
"Now, what would that bring to mind but California?"
Student: "It always makes me think of the song."
Professor: "Is there a song by that name?"
The other professor: "Well, I have never heard of it either."
Never be late.

been compiled by the Committee or the Cost of Medical Care.
"There are in the United States more physicians per 100,000 people than in any other country in the world," the committee reported as a result of the study, which showed that, there are 15,400 physicians in the country.
About 1,500,000 people, enough to make a city bigger than Detroit, are employed in community health or illness, the committee estimated. This figure includes physicians and their attendants, nurses and technicians, trained and practical nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, hospital superintendents and personnel, pharmacists, medical staff, health department and clinical laboratory personnel, chiropractors, masseurs, and all "healers," such as Christian Science practitioners.
Of these, the 550,000 workers in hospitals, exclusive of nurses, physicians and superintendents, make up about 30 percent of the staff in the group of practical and trained nurses, totaling 351,968, and the third largest compires the 143,000.
Uneven distribution of physicians exists throughout the country, which more than the total number, affects be efficiency.
In 1927 South Carolina and Montana had only 71 phylaeans per 10,000 people. Colorado, at the eastern border in Colorado, "various state surveys show clearly that the larger cities are over-supplied with doctors relative to population, whereas the smaller towns are under-supplied." Dumped, comparatively few recent graduates of medical schools are located in the small communities; the proportion settling in the larger becoming progressively larger."
At The Concert
By Martha Sidebottom
A program, necessarily entertaining to make worldwide the nipped fingers and aching limbs suffered by members of the audience, was given last night by Mrs. Marian McNab, organist, and Mr. Charles Sager, baritone. The auditors, although few, scattered and turtly, left the room as soon as they had attended in spite of the ice casting received en route.
Mr. Sager successfully launched the evening's entertainment with a group of foreign numbers, winning the interest of his listeners by his ability and quality of his voice and his control over it. The outstanding selection of his second group of songs was "Softly," which he wrote in response to the serpentine with exceptionally good breathing control. "Farewell" by Russell was one of his most appreciative songs, accompanied by Miss Harriet Lull. The first organ number by Mrs McNabb, "Toocat in F major," by Mr. Sager, is one of many melodies rivalled for expression and supremacy. A noticeable feature of this peace was a steady and rapid solo part that Ms. McNabb appeared alarmingly at the organ from which she brought much massive and vivid tone pictures in her playing. By Boex and "American Indian Fantasie" by Skilton, "The Infant Jesus," Pietra Von, was probably the most apprehensive piece of the pre-Christmas season. It was full of one simple melody played in numerous ways under the sound of the
After the members of the University Symphony Orchestra, resplendent in a spectrum-filled of colored taffeta and silk, were assembled on the stage and McMia Nabb was seated on her high organ bench, the objectionable but necessary tuning of violins was made by Ms. Nabb. The ultimate climax and concluding number of the program. The "Concertpiece" for organ and orchestra by Ms. Nabb, as part of the section of its kind to be presented in the United States and a great deal of difficulty was experienced in obtaining the music for last night's performance.
The number was bewildering with its excessive volume of extreme impression of activity. Many times the organ medley encompassed that of the orchestra making the energy put in it so powerful. The type of selection could well be appreciated after one has become accustomed to its unusualness.
A co-ed at the University of Nebraska condemns the idea of a military course in the schools in an address. "A Student's Contribution to World Peace." She was the first of four students who attended the World Forum gatherings. "The girls are nearly as much to blame for popularizing R.O.T.C. as the boys," the co-ed said. She said that the women eagerly sought the distinction of leadership over the other honors which the military has freely given them.

Largest Telescope South of Equator Is Now Under Final Test in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, Dec. 16.—What will be the largest telescope south of the equator is now under final text here, preparatory to dismantling it for future use in Africa. The new instrument, a reflecting telescope with a mirror five feet in diameter, has been built for NASA's Stowers Observatory, at Bloemfontein, by J. W. Feker. Harvard astronomers are now using it to make photographs of the stars. So far, it has produced more images and free from measurable error.
The mounting of the telescope was designed by Mr. Fecker and built in 1923. It is mounted in a recessed in size by only three others now in use, previously belonged to the Harvard Observatory but was purchased by the U.S. in the Fecker works, and provided with a special mounting to prevent it from bending as it was formerly mounted.
When erected in South Africa, the Harvard station at bliefonville will have several large instruments with a backdrop of southern skies. In addition to the big reflection, a refracting telescope, with a photographic lens 24 inches in diameter, is already in use, as well as a number of smaller telescopes from the world's third largest telescope is also undergoing completion here. This is the 60-inch disc made last year at the Bureau of Standards in Washington, and installed in Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio. The instrument was completed with the intention of using a 60-inch mirror. As the Bureau of Standards has been making a bigger disrt but anticandid, Mr. Fecker has also built a
tube for the telescope, to use the mirror to its full advantage. John A. Bradshaw, one of the most famous makers of large telescopes
