Christmas Candle Fund to Be Used for Student Aid
Half 0° Proceeds to for Foreign Service Rest to Remain at Home
No. 67
One-half of the fund collected by the sale of the Christmas candles will be given to the aid of the two Russian students, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Chefranoff, who are attending the University of Kansas and the other half will be given to Conrad Hoffman of the International Student Service for Christmas in Washington, according to the decision reached by the general Christmas tree committee which met yesterday afternoon.
The executive committee submitted two opinions to the general committee at this meeting. The majority opinion provided for one half of the fund for the research program. The remaining half was to be divided, half to go to the International Student Service and the other half to the equipment of a room in the proposed new student hospital. This objective committee after a luncheth discussion.
When the two objectives were voted upon, 23 members were in favor of sending the entire half of the fund to the International Student Service and 13 were in favor of only sending a fourth of the fund to student service and giving a fourth in the proposed hospital.
The argument need against giving the money to furnish a room in the hospital was that the state of Kansas could easily finance a new hospital that would receive thousands of students in foreign countries who needed aid. It was contended that if it should be necessary later to supply some of the money for the new hospital, a special drive could make which would be just an effective.
Plaa shows Christmas Spirit Sending the entire half to the International Student service would be expressing interest and adding as closer to those countries, than keeping part of it for our own motives according to some of the members of the committee. These members also feel that the tradition of the University to use all of this material students should not be broken this year.
Other members of the committee believed that part of the money raised should be used for the benefit of the students themselves, and that furnishing a room in the new hospital would be the best means of doing this.
It is expected by members that the
These members stated that they believed that the students would feel more like control than freedom of the part of the money was to be used directly on the campo.

K. U. Student Honor
Topic for Discussion
at Y. M. C. A. Forum
Present School of Law System and Several Other Plans Are Explained
Student honor at the University was the subject for discussion at the Y, M. C, A. forum held at Myers hall last night. Dawn McGee, representing the School of Law and Halt Perrin of the School of Business discussed the honor system from the standpoint of its practicability in their respective departments. About forty students were present.
Morris explained the system which has been in effect in the School of Law since 1922. A student council, he said, is in charge of the enforcement of the rules and regulations. All students take an earl when taking an exercise, they will tell them and that they will report soon seen hating.
Morris said that although the system was working in the School of Law that it had not proved satisfactory to everyone. One of the reasons for the degree of success of the system is the fact that the rules are applied to a comparatively small and unified group of students, he said.
The plan of adopting the buoy system in the school of Business was described by Ind Perrin. He declared that the business students in general were optimistic about the future success of the plan.
"I believe that an honor system at the University can be made to work successfully in the smaller divisions of our school. The School of Law, but it is doubtful if it can be applied with any degree of effectiveness in the College," he declared.
"The honor system that has been proposed for the School of Engineering," he declared, "will not only promote better feeling between the students and between the students themselves." He expressed the belief that it would take some time to build up a tradition among the students, and for this reason it is proposed that the plan be approved only to juniors and science at first.
"In order for a system to be a success, it must be simple," he said. "Moreover, it should apply to home as well as to work in the classroom."
Following McGee's talk several students present expressed their views concerning the advisability of estab- lating a system of honor in the College.

"College Football Aids Scholarship," Says Dr. Brooks
M. U. President Disagree With Gazette Editorial Severely Indicting Football
"I can raise point after point that in my opinion prove the beneficial effect football has on college life," said Dr. Stratton D. Brooks, president of the University of Missouri. Doctor Brooks declared that football is a great thing for a university and the students in it, in his disagreement with John White's argument of football in the Emporia Gazette.
"Bye-Bee Football," the editorial by Mr. White which appeared recently in the Emporia Gazette, has excited wide interest. Chancellor Lindley has expressed himself as agreeing with Mr. White, that football is being exploited and is being given too prominent a place in university life.
Doctor Brooks was in Kansas City last night to judge the Oxford-Westminster debate and expressed himself in college football, in an interview.
Football Raises Standards
"Football aid boys," scholarships,
said Doctor Brecks. "I sincerely believe more boys who have been graduated from schools and colleges kept up their grades with the play of playing football." All do not make the teams, but they have their hepae. Football players must be up in all their studies—keeping regular pace with the other boys and girls of school before they can play.
"Training in football represents one of the basic principles of a university, which is to train its students into a sense of team work and co-operation for them to use when they get out into the world. When, occasionally, a reckless student is called before us, we say to him, 'What would you do if you were a team member?' The team not okeying his quarterback's signals and orders."
"Very well," we tell him, "we're the quarterbacks of this university and have called our signals and given our goals so we are going to play the games or not."
"I would say he ought to be put off the team' the student naturally answers.
"The student in the case will always see the light," said Doctor Brooks.
Financial Side Is Described
Doctor Brooks pointed out the fact that the money collected from the sports teams in the coaches and instructors, for the golf course, tennis courts, basketball and track sports of the university.
"What objection he the taxpayers to this fact?" asked Doctor Brooks.
The Missouri president concluded his defense by mentioning Benny Owen, who was for years coach and associate of the Oklahoma, in who, in Doctor Brook's opinion, has done more to promote right thinking, right living, right cooperation and right sportsmanship in Missouri's young men than any other agency.

Council Abandons Holding of Election of Class Officers
Senior President to B
Selected by Caucus,
According to
Plans
The holding of the annual fall election was abandoned for this year last night by the Men's Student Council which virtually means that it will be abandoned for all time since the referendum voted on last spring by the student body abolished the fall elections.
The council's action is the culmination of a long series of election difficulties, which has hampered the choosing of class officers. The first obstruction appeared Oct. 14, the date originally set for the election, when, after balloting had been going on for three hours, it was found that some eight hundred names had been omitted from the lists of qualified candidates and compromised the election until complete lists could be prepared.
"We decided that the student body was not interested in the election and the general political situation was in disaffair," Charles Embry, secretary of the Men's Student council declared today.
Seniors to Have Mass Meeting
Then two days before the reset election day, Oct. 21, seven football men who were candidates for class officers withdrew from the party tickets, following a public criticism of Chineese interference of politics in athletics.
This so disrupted the tickets of the two political parties that the council found it necessary to postpone the election until after the termination of the football season. Yearly, the athletic department demanded that the team win a minimum of the athletes teams sever connections with campus politics.
The sehers will meet in a general class conversation and elect a class president, according to the plans of the council. The dance magicians will be elected by mass meetings of the various classes.
