UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS,
Sydney Debaters Arrive
for Evening's Session
The detractors from Sydney, Australia, arrived today at 12:45, in time to view Kansas University and get some idea of the school they are to debate tonight on the question. Resolved, that the world would be better off without the movies. This debate he held in Fraser theater from 7 to 9.
The debaters from Australia uphold the affirmative side of the question are H. G, Godsall, W. S, Shepherd and N. C, Nelson. The members on the Kansas team are Frederic Anderson, <29>, Burt Kingsbury, <28>, and Richardus, 152. Prof. E. C. Buehler as chairman of the debate.
The decision of the debate rest with the audience.
Union Building Dance
Floor Will Be One
of Best Obtainable
Commenting on the dance floor which is rapidly nearing completion and which will be opened to the students about Dec. 8, Armin Hüller-Moeller, a dance instructor at the dance committee, said today, "The Union dance floor, when finished, will be one of the best attainable. The dancing space will be considerably larger than that of F.A.U. Hall where nearly all dance games have been held in past.
Students of Other Universities:
Assessed From $7 to $10
Ask $2.50 Here
"The financing committee," continued Hillier, "is still short some $1250, although $4200 has been collapsed. The team had to hide Wahabkie which was held last Friday night. Before the hall can be completed as to flooring, heating and lighting, the money must be raised." The comitee has stated that it intends to give every student the opportunity to paying the fee of $2.50 before the end of this month.
The students of Kansas University should not feel that the fee of $2.50 is exhilarating, as a regular fee for students at Michigan, Harvard, and California, and these buildings are already in use. A fee of $2.50 may pay off by paying its entrance fees at the University of Oklahoma, at the University of Toronto the fee is $7.50, and at the University it is $7.50 and no part of the building is as yet ready for use. The "$2.50 optional fee we are asking for may be very nominal" *x* copied Hillier.
Fred Elsworth, of the Alumni office, and chairman of the Union operating committees, in regard to the same matter, said he did not understand the number of students who did not pay this fee at the time of registration because they did not understand the purpose for which the money was to be used. When these students were collected to be put we feel that more of them will be willing to contribute."
The opening Varsity dance is expected to be held Dec. 8 and is to be free to all who can show respect of having paid the fee. Any day you wish to pay this fee may call at the Union Building any time during the day.

Some survivors charged that regurgitators members of the crew, breadth of discipline, saved lifebooks to save themselves, unwilling to take passengers ahead.

Banister swam to a lifeboat that had broken loose, and maneuvered it while 22 men jumped overboard from the vessel and made their way
"The loss of life from the sinking ship was due to criminal neglect," she added. The room was flooded, as well as the boiler room and many of the cabins. That condition prevailed from early Sunset on January 20th when a captain sent out the first distress signals. When we asked him to call assistance, he replied, "he applied it so much."
The cause of the disaster remained a mystery. All that was known definitely was that the Vestris, a 10,000 ton stamper, began to listen during a storm. She filled her tank with water, and efforts of her crew to pump her out were futile.

Freshman Caps Thing
eshman Caps Thing of Past Next Friday
one week from Friday, and it
freeman day! Then the regime on
the paddle, at host insofar as rule
is enforced, of the fresh man
can cap, he over.
The wearers of the little blue cap
wore them on their left hip to doff
theids to the grand prize. They won
the last time on Nov. 25, which is the
day before the game. The 1925 football season.
No more will the innocents have to be reminded to wear their caps at all times on the Hill and at football games, and to take them off as the ball goes through the pitch. Long lines of ardent paddlers be waiting to inflict punishment for violation of these rules. For with the ending of the football season, the teams are forced to deal with the balance of society, and don ordinary headwear or none at all.
There will probably be some kind of a celebration to mark the close of the school year. To join Foster, c29, keeper of the customs and traditions of Mount Orcad. There may be a big bourbon and wine party. To rejoice, he suggested. However, this has not yet been decided on, and the form of the celebration will be an open question.

"I was told that I was lucky, that I would get out of the summer heat," he said. "After traveling 1500 miles north into Canada I was told the same thing. Later, after reaching far above the arctic circle, I found tundra with a great deal more humidity that you have here in Kuwait."
No. 53
Doctor Stefansson stated that there are three things necessary in a country which is cold, namely: it has no fish, it that it be away from the ocean, and that it be above the ocean.

Poetry Prize Is Offered Annually to Perpetuate the High Ideals Held Forth by Professor Carruth
Professor Carruth is a New England idealist of English extraction and the followed out his conviction of homesty and patriotism. His kindness to his heart was the equality of women. He was almost as generous in the support of prohibition. A great deal of his efforts in Kansas were spent to eradicate
At the time Professor Carruth was at the university, only three of present buildings, were standing - Fraser Snow, and the Journalism building.
the prize for the Carruth poetry contest, the opening of which was recently announced by Prof. J. H. Curruth of the English, is offered annually as a memorial to William Herbert Carruth by friends and alumni of the University of New York and started by a group of alumni in New York and since added to by other friends and admirers of Professor Carruth, used each year in offer prizes.
Had High Ideals
Perhaps the poem which brought Carruth fame and for which he is considered one of the most "Tongue." It is not a long poem, but a metaphorical one. It is a musical word, and vivid
thought that will live long in the annals of verse.
Gave All for Students
Gled continues by telling of Carruth's great and fervid devotion to the five thousand students whom he felt were the only students who felt a responsibility—a moral responsibility—for all of them. The amount of individual attention he gave them was enormous. I believe a deep and caring relationship with the students was the mainspring of his life. It was that care and affection which fed all his activities—activities in scholarship, in poetry, in reform, and in poetry, in the living as he wanted them to live.
"The most effective of all teachings is a life well lived; and by a life well lived be endeavored to direct his studies, to serve others, to all, all, for students; and that all was a very great deal. He gave all of us the tools he knew in Kansas, and it is cheering to look about us and to look backward through the years, and think of the future."
"He gave all to the students of this kita school, and it is cheering him to look about in ward through the years, and think of the others who made the same great work."
Carruth is the author of several books, among them "Kansas in Literature," "Las Vegas Hot Springs, New Mexico," and "Letters for American Boys." He translated Carl Heinrich Cormorr "History of the Church" by Charles M. Cornelius and McCormick in the translation of Frederick Delitzsch's "Babel and Bible."
