A wrecker removed it and assembled. Another car went into the ditch near the same spot earlier in the evening.

Discussions Held Wednesday
"Some of the most distinguished leaders" was the subject of several of Elliott's discussions. He defended a certain idea that he had assessed by the details and experiences of Jeans in all aspects of his life, and based his entire discussion of the topic on those details.
To develop personality should be the purpose of all education and contemporary living, Elliott contended, and to teach students, an exemplified in American colleges, was a failure. The entire system was in a state of collapse, in the fact that students in their first few years in school are taught by professors who have never been across. He also declared that every college was falling by not having a properly supervised social program, both entertaining and instructive.
Discussions were held yesterday afternoon and evening. The final meeting will be this morning from 9 o'clock until noon, which is to be over in time for the students present to return to Lawrence for studies, which will be conducted by them, which will be only for discussion is open to all men students and faculty men.

Kilkpatrick of Bell Center, O., who attended the University of Kansas in 1964 and graduated from the University of Arkansas. Mr. Kilkpatrick recalls the days of old North College, the first building on the campus, when upperclassmen sold assembly tickets to freshmen in Fraser Hall and when roommates were seen the results of electricity were told 'to turn on the light slowly.'
Vespers, which are held every Sunday now, were given once a month in Fraser hall, and the wooden bleachers at the new stadium were filled with students cheering for Wallace, Donnie Billy Miller, and "Tubby" Tuber, popular athletes in their day. It was in 1860 that open style was introduced in the stadium.
Uncle Jimmy Green, after whom the law building is named, was president of Olin Templem was dean of the College and the Graduate School. These men and

Thursday morning the Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, pastor of the Linwood Boulevard Christian Church of Kansas City, Mo., will speak at an all-University Christmas convocation on a topic with present-day students in Russia.
Convegcation to Be Thursday
Thursday night the annual Christmas tree tradition will be observed in the workshop of the pine tree in front of Blake hall. The first part of the program will be held inside, and the latter part around the classroom. At Christmas gift will be presented to the general student loan fund, as a permanent gift to self-supporting students.
Two Sources of Funds
Every person subscribing to the Christmas gift fund will receive a candle, white organized houses must be 50 cents or more per individual member will receive one or two large candles, 50 cents or more of students living in the house.
The funds will be raised through the candle sale and by the benefit basketball games.
The custom of giving candles for subscriptions is one of the fundaments of the K. U. Christmas tradition. Back in 1211, when post-war chaos ensued, the Crown prince barely $2,000 for European student relief. The candles seem to symbolize both the spirit of Christmas and the project for which the fund was raised,
At first it was suggested to give some some sort of tangible reward to subservitors, but with an eye on the spirit which should precede Christ's giving, it was decided that a candle was symbolic and yet could be used that it didn't exist as a permanent record of a mercurial generosity.
And so the candle sale has continued with the Christmas tradition. Individual contributors will receive one small candle for subscriptions under a dollar. A larger candle with twelve candles to those who give more than a dollar, while long Christmas tapers will go to 100 or cent organized houses,
Two large candies will be given to business of more than 10 members who receive a certificate for subscriptions of 50 cents or more. A certificate for subscriptions of less than 10 members,
