"THE SPIRIT OF SANTA CLAUS"
Unless a general apathy on the part of University students can be converted into the Christmas spirit of giving, the Christmas cake sale for the aid of the International Student Service will fail ignominiously.
A total contribution of only 897.4 on the first day of a three-day campaign, in which it was hoped to raise $1400, does not represent the spirit of Santa Claus of which William Allen White spoke. "Santa Claus gives not prudently but bountifully," said Mr. White. Cannot university students give bonouteously once during the year, and if not bonouteously, at least prudently?
No campus purpose this year has been more charitable, no Hill tradition worthier of perpetuation. The money obtained will be used to knit the ties of international student friendship, which is the most effective way of quell the charges of "Uncle Shyloo" duce
1) $S_{attribution} on the part of the individual student need not be larger; at this season it might easily be the least of the holiday expenses, and still the goal of $1400 be attained. Surely the "spirit of Santa Claus" of previous classes will not be lacking this year.
CHRISTMAS BLUES
Once again that old malady, Christmas blues, has appeared on the campus. Its moanings can be heard far above the wall of the saxophones at the annual Christmas parties. Its plaintive moon rises above the roof and whistle of the home-bound train, Everyone is afflicted with it and very few are gaining any respite from its deadly persistence.
Lawrence merchants have devised a cure for all this. At least, their advertisements suggest that a person may rid himself of the horrors of the Christmas blues by buying and buying and buying. They even go so far as to suggest appropriate gifts for everyone in the family.
"What am I going to get my girl for Christmas?" "What would my mother like to have?" Where can I get some greeting cards printed right away? These are just a few of the meanings that are hurled at the world in general. These questions pop into the heads of students right in the middle of a class and even keep them awake at night. Some mutter to themselves, "Who is the guy who said it was better to give than to receive?"
The Christmas blues tend to dampen the Christmas ardor but thank goodness they won't last long. Soon the worries are all over and the students go home satisfied with their purchases. The hearty thanks that they receive for their trouble and worry more than pays for the Christmas blues and happiness reigns, just as it should during the Christmas season.
WHEN IS A PROMISE NOT A PROMISE?
The present administration in Washington is beginning to speak plainly. Philippine independence has been promised and ignored by all presidents since the time of McKin-

—Gladys Oaks in *The Bookman's key*, in which the administration of the islands were acquired. But it remained for Mr. Coolidge to speak out frankly what has been our practice, and definitely to relegate to the refuge heap of broken trusts, the final freedom of the islands.
Certainly in no manner of construction can the statement be considered coincident with the aspirations of Filipino patriots, whose longing for freedom and self-government in their homeland is the same as that which caused the American Revolution.
Says the president in his annual message to Congress: "No one contemplates anything in the future either under the present or a more independent form of government when we should not assume some responsibility for their defense."
Without the aid of the White House spokesman, Mr. Coolidge proceeds to justify, to the rubber interests at least, the indefinite continuation of a protectorate; the Islands are rich in potential productions of rubber.
If he cared to elaborate he might say that "the natives make possible an unlimited supply of cheap labor. American manufacturers will be subject to little or no export duty on quantities of rubber shipped out of the islands, and if necessary, American marines are as call for forebice quelling of industrial and political disturbances which might threaten American imperialism." But his reputed taciturnity leaves these conclusions to be drawn from other sources: previous conduct of the United States, for example.
Dut political policies may change with administrations. What is more disturbing than the repudiation of a promise by the American government, is the bland indifference and matter-of-fact attention of the American press. The newspapers which might, by the creation of a strong public sentiment, uphold the integrity of the United States, accept the President's stand with mild approbation—if they speak at all.
An ironical indictment, it is, of our vaulted political traditions of self-government and liberty; that in the year of the Secondecentennial celebration of the Declaration of Independence, the United States becomes the outspoken aggressor in the violation of human rights.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN ART
the aesthetic nature of our University's intelligence undoubtedly found nourishment in Tau Sigma's part of the program given at a reception held last week by women of the University for their husbands and friends.
A troupe of pretty girls appeared in such scanty attire that they would indeed have made last year's "Wango Pango" chorus look like Eskimos. After several exhibitions of physical equilibrium, rhythm action and sharply forms, they slipped away, while the reception for the faculty women's husbands took on a heavier vein.
How wonderful it must be to be able to appreciate art like that. Art, the natural diversion of the elite, the food of the intelligence, the beauty that makes life for them worth while—and art it surely must have been. It is a funny thing, though, for sometimes it seems that art is art at what other times it is something else. Had the entertainment which afforded the faculty audience such aesthetic satisfaction been given before a group of students it would have ceased to be art. It would then have been something else, just as "Wango Pango" proved to be.
But that is only natural enough. We*must face the facts; our innocent young minds have not yet reached the

PHL SIGMA:
A PLEA TO INSTRUCTORS
In almost every case the quiz could have been given just as well a week earlier or even a week following the question.
It is the week before Christmas, but there can be little joy among students when there is an average of three or four quizzes hanging over the head of each. If they bewd the holiday spirit that rides the crisp morning breeze it means that there will be little preparation, and grades, which are after all really important, will be second rule.
The size of induction is increased by the fact that this is such an naturally active week outside the drama. The Dramatic Club has taken two nights, the Christmas tradition interrupted classes with a conversation Monday and will take two more nights. Moreover, Christmas activities are being carried on by nearly every organization on the Hill.

Traditions, we love them for their contrast with youth; for their independence. We have too few that make their abundance the entire student body—Football, Rock Chalk, Brick's, Uncle Jimmy, Rock Chalk, a long hat. To these, more recently, added the Christmas program. The program includes unanimously and somewhat indulgently the suggestion that it be given beautiful things in the University.
Those who prize traditions generally, and the Christmas tradition in particular, are expected to participate a week by personal participation in the program. Many good arguments, both selfish and unselfish, support it. No one should be ashamed of its real-A Friend of Traditions.

If you've leaved more toward the studious side you have probably long since recognized that wheat is a good substitute for Wheat to those of sedentary habits.
