Haberman Speaks on Enlightenment of Mexican Indian
Representative of Calle Government Pictures Peon Conditions of Living
"The Mexican Indian is gradually but surely throwing off the yoke of economic and social slavery and taking his place among the free and indigenous peoples. He clashed Roberto Haberman, representative of the department of commerce, labor and industry of the Mexican government in an address before a group of students and faculty members at construction building, yesterday afternoon.
Speaking on the subject, "Behind the Scenes in Mexico," Mr. Haiberman gave a vivid picture of the conditions that now exist in Mexico, comparing them with the almost intolerable conditions before the present political regime.
Miracle Taking Place
"It is hard for Americans to understand the situation there because they know so little of the history of the country and the economic and social backgrounds. In fact, the histories of the two countries are vastly different. While America was being colonized by Europe in the 16th century and independence, Mexico was exhulted by ruthless Spaniards for their own gain.
There is a great miracle taking place in Mexico," no said. "The poorn the heart of burden, is living out of our suffering and becoming like other people.
"The original Mexican Indians, with an old and magnificent civilization, were enslaved by the Spanish and their land taken. And although the Spanish yoke was thrown off, the Indians still remained in economic bondage as the result of the all-powerful church," said the speaker.
Indian Under Tinder to *Church*
Mr. Haberman said he knew nothin' about the Indian and the Mexican Indian; that it was far worse than the emplacement of the Negro in the United States. On the ranches the Indians lived in miserable bleed huts, he said, while the Indians were called a humble hunter of a calendar and wealth.
"When Obregon became president, he set up a new order of things, and his work is now being carried on by the Calex administration. There are now more than six thousand rural schools in the country. Four agricultural colleges have been established for the peasants, hospitals are being opened, roads are being built, and irrigation projects being carried out."
The current fight in Mexico between the government and the church is over the statement in the constitution which provides for the registration of all church officials and the listing of their wealth and the wealth of the church, he said. Because of this great wealth the church has exerted an all-powerful influence on the government, in fact, it has almost reunion with the community. Carlos has taken measures to separate the church and the state.

"As a result of the fight, 22,000 priests went on atrue and the churches were destroyed," Mr. Haberman said, "Boycott have been declared, but they are in effective. The people continue to go to church, but the influence of the priests remains."
Labor Federation Non-Political Last night at Myers hall Mr. Herman spoke on the industrial and economic situation in Mexico, emphasizing the work of the Mexican Federation of Labor. He also spoke today in the auditorium in central Administration building.
"The Mexican constitution is probably the most complete of any in the United States, and privileges the laboring man," he said. Out of a population of 14,000 people in the country, 2,000,000 are members of the federation.
rine organization is unhealthy, non-
political. Although there is a strong
labor party in the country, politi-
cal dissent has led to the decen-
sions in the federation.
"Bloody revolutions are at an end in Mexico," he declared, for they would not be permitted by the national inabor organization which is in power. The leaders believe that any revolution to be a successful production going and for this reason the "would not tolerate force."

Christmas Candle Contribution Goal Is Set at $1400
Program Starts Sunday
With Vesper Service;
White Will Speak
on Monday
A goal of $1400 was set for the Christmas candle fund by the executive committee for the Christmas week program, in a meeting yesterday afternoon in the channeler's office. This is to be divided between two objectives, $100 to go as a loan to the two Russian students who were absent from the graduation and to the Central Hofman, secretary of the International Student Service, to be used for the aid of students in foreign countries.
The establishment of a definite goal is a precedent for the Christmas program. In previous years no definite goal has been set, nor has the drive for finals been stressed. The need for finals was further emphasized by Dean John R. Ryber, who proposed the action. He said that the need for funds has not been sufficiently stressed in previous years, and, as a result, interest in this phase of the program had lagged considerably. The committee decided that the establishment of more emphasis on the canoe fund would around more interest.

Women Advocate New Postponement of Class Election
Equal Share in Nominating Candidates Is Wanted; Meeting Held Tuesday
BULLETIN
That he衣erate a joint committee of the W. S. G. A. and Mert's Student Council will co-operate in planning for the department's work, representing of representatives of the student government organizations and of the two political parties held at the office of the character this afternoon, and by tomorrow we will go forward as planned.
That the senior class election be positioned because the nominations for the officers of the class have not been made on a representative basis, was the recommendation of the senior officer in central Administration last night.
Because of disruptions in the election, and because they have no representation in the present system, the board is working with charges for nominations.
"Now is the time," said Chancellor Lindsey, this morning, "for all good women to come to the aid of their loss."
The senior women met in conjuncture with W. S. G, A. J. to discuss the oming class election. Because of the unfairness in choosing of nominees and the false impressions concerning the president, it would be better that the resident later should be altered.
In last Friday's Kansas was published the announcement of a senior meeting, at which the delayed class election of officers would be held. It was published that W. S. G, A. authorized the new election data, which was not true, for W. S. G, A. had not even heard of the matter.
It was stated in the Kansas that he general political situation was out f. favor and the four class officers would be chosen at this meeting. After urgent injury and interweaving in his training, he seemed armed that the meeting called for Thursday, Dec. 9, at 7:30 p.m. m. in hraison hall, not for the purpose of choosing the senior class officers, for us to bully on the candidates for president. It was a political part, and that no further nominations can be made.
In view of this situation, that the women have had no voice in the choosing of candidates for their senior lass officers, that action has been taken to nominate the women who were nominated on the 'shacamach and Black Mask tickets' were not consulted before their names were placed on the ballot, they desire a postponement of the senior class meeting with a hance for nominations.
According to the expressions of opinion at the meeting, last night, the women only desire co-operation and do not drastic or antagonistic. The men also wish to visit them to be consulted and represented a the choosing of its officers.
