Relief Work

Mr. Hoffman came to the University of Kansas, in 1912 v. Y. M. C. A. a secretary, according to W. J. Hammer, associate professor of ethics at the university.
It was largely through the efforts of Hoffman that the famous Mistle-Robbins campaign the following year was so successful. Ewingon Robbins, John R. Mott, Darr Elliot and other nationally known social workers assisted in the campaign which saw the most significant event ever held at the University. The Y. M. C. A. organization increased greatly in numbers, there were many new members taken into the Lawrence churches, and five student Y. M. C. A. secretaries were sent out from the university in that one year. It while Hoffman was here that his midlife discussion funneled the retested
"At the beginning of the war in Europe, M. Hoffman was given a leave of absence and went to Europe with John R. Mott to see what could be done. He worked for the English and later in the prison camps in France. In 1917 and 1918 he was in charge of all the allied prison work in Germany. He was the only American allowed to stay in Germany after the entrance of the Nazis to take care of the first American address to be taken prisoners by the Germans."
"Hoffman returned to the University of Kansas in 1919 and was secretary of the Y. M. C. A, one year, he returned to Europe and was placed in charge of the European Student Bureau. He also served as the international Student Service he is considered by many, as one of the biggest men in Europe today."

Fire Picks on Pi U.; Others Are Untouched
A table with half charred books, blotters and napkins, sitting at the front entrance of the PI U house this morning is in the only evidence of a fire
Roland Tate is probably the only other evidence of a fire, because he has few clothes left; he has no books either, but that is of minor importance and of little consequence, so he says. However, it is expected that he would come to the element, fire, pick one particular room, wipe it clean, and never bother the rest of the building. It is probably lucky for Tate's brothers, that he does not believe in fresh air and always keeps his doors and windows closed tightly, so they are protected by the fire another outhed. It is understood also that Tate is a firm believer in Santa Claus. The assumption is that after listening to William Allen White prove that there was a Santa Claus, Tate decided to burn up his clothes, firmly believing that Santa would bring him some new

Dr. Taylor Criticizes Racial Discrimination by American Whites
Acid Test of Christianity Lies in Method of Solution of Problem
"Titting Up the Color Line" was the subject of a talk on racial relations given Monday afternoon in room 201, west administration building, by Dr. Alva W. Taylor, lecturer and writer on social and economic problems, who is at the University for a series of addresses.
"Race discrimination in this country comes from living in mass." Doctor Taylor said. "Communities have no racialized education, have no racial problem. Trouble arises only when the two races in large numbers live alongside each other, as in the larger cities where a minority unimaginously has been devolved."
Dector Taylor enumerated several of the results of the movements of groups of colored people toward the cities. Crowded living conditions, and high rents have resulted. Moreover there is a tendency for the Negro to fight Republican ticket, or by doing so he becomes a political orientation.
The Negro press is taking up the problems of the colored race, and nowhere is there to be found more intelligent and sane discussions of the problems, Doctor Taylor said. He mentioned some NEGRO leaders who are outstanding in their work, do United States senate elections, and the United States Senate they would be quickly recognized by the country for their qualities of leadership.
"The Negro does himself an injustice at the poles," he said. "He could hold the balance of power in many states, and he could stop voting for Abraham Lincoln."
"Such attempts at solution as the Ku Klux Klan has offered are hopeless. The whole organization is based on prejudice and force, on emotional and primitive action rather than on intelligent co-operation."
"There is no short cut to the solution of the racial problem," he declared. "We must make up our minds to live together. The acid test of our Americanism is this problem of tipping up the color line."
Doctor Taylor will speak Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser hall and Tuesday night at the Y. M. C. A. Forum at Myers hall.

Governing Bodies Discuss Student Book Store Plan
Here
Three Problems Confront Starting Co-operative Text Shop Here
Problems concerned with the establishment of a co-operative book store at the University and plans relating to its operation were discussed at a meeting of the joint committee of the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A., Monday afternoon at Watkins ball.
Members of the committee are: Olive Figgis, c28; chairman from the W. S. G. A.; Anne Patterson, c28; Tidh Show II, c27; James Meister, c27; The Man's Student Council; Walker Fresse, c27; and Leo Lattin, c27.
"Three problems are now confronting the cooperative book store idea," said Medier. "The location is an outstanding problem. The proposed location in the basement of the University is indeed being is entirely out of the question, and it has occurred. Whether to employ a full time manager or to provide some other means of management and direction is a matter that has brought up considerable discussion. The financial plan is also a hard problem. Catch to start the business would probably have to be obtained from stu-
der."
Two Plans Received
"The most outstanding solution to this problem seems to be a concern operated for the benefit of the students, but not run by them," according to the chairman of the committee, said. "The students favourably are; to sell shares to the students thereby making it a strictly cooperative dividend payaway company or to run the store on a private business bank, under private ownership to declare dividends to some worthy cause caused with University activities."
Letters from various universities that have cooperative book stores and museums in their communities also instill the sense that these letters were answers to questionnaires sent while Paul Reinfeld was president of the Men's Student Library.
Fees Paid at California
Members of the Associated Students of the University of California pay $10 a year fees that provide access to a co-operative book store and university activities. Profits last year amounted to $20,000 on a $315,000 turnover. Books are sold at list price less 10 per cent.
A similar concern was established at the University of South Dakota in 1911 with share of $2.00 each with a retirement at time of graduation. It is assumed that faculty, from the faculty, and dividends are declared on the basis of purchases.
A $1,885 Stainaway concert piano was purchased for the auditorium (from accumulated profits at the University of Florida). The start was made on borrowed funds in 1015. Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College started their store in October, and they opened $2,241.49 volume of business last year. A manager is paid $2000 a year.
Maine Hall Store 15 years
The University of Maine began a bookstore in 2003, but the company was founded whose directors held in trust for the Athletic Association shares for stock. These were paid back within five years and the book store advanced this department each year to help them in their deficit.
Maine Has Store 15 Years
The University of Georgia organized a book store 10 years ago with money obtained from personal loans. It does a $50,000 business annually. Each student pays $1.00 membership fee for the fourth privilege.
A bookstore at the University of Oregon is financed by a company of faculty members and business men. Last year the volume of business was more than $60,000. They employ a general manager. Student help is paid 40 cents an hour. A refund of the cent is made on each purchase.
All but one of these stores are situated in a prominent location on the campus. The concern at the Oka town's Alkali College is located off-courts.
Iowa University has awarded 47
