County Clubs to Sponsor Community Meetings for Approaching Holidays
Through the organization of the county clubs, speakers will be available during the Christmas vacation to represent the University in public meetings throughout the state, according to Raymond Nichols, chairman of the county clubs committee, after a meeting of the committee last night.
The athletic department announced today that the entire coaching staff would be at the disposal of the county public speakers in any part of the state.
Students Arrange Meetings
"It depends altogether on the individual students of the University," declared Nichols today, "because it is positively necessary that the student wishing a speaker in his community arrives at a meeting he has attended at a specified time."
The fact that the chairmen of the different county organizations have not been announced does not prevent the members of each county from organizing their clubs now by getting in touch with Nichols, Stanley Puckard, and John C. Secretary who have charge of the organization, according to Nichols.
Faculty Members to Speak
Faculty Members to Speak "An attempt is now being made to secure the services of as many influential faculty members and friends of the University as possible, and there will be enough speaker time arranged," and Harriet Pełwo, who has charge of the speakers.
According to Nicholas the county club program for this year will be most complete and the most highly organized campaign ever attempted to obtain admission and the high standards of the University before the citizens at home.

Chinese Educator Discusses Theory of Confucianism
Government Representative Studies Educational Methods in This Country
"Confucius, the Man and his Philosophy," was the theme of an address given last night at the Y. M. C. A. forum at Myers hall by Tso Yan Wang, Chinese educator, who is studying educational methods in this country as a representation of the government of China.
At the beginning of the talk Mr. Wang gave a short biographical account of the life of Confucius, the great Chinese teacher and philosopher. He then outlined the underlying principles that form the basis of Confucius' teachings and connected them with the principles of the religions of the West.
"The philosophy of Confucius is that of love and faithfulness," said Mr. Wang, "The principle of reciprocity that is embodied in his teachings is translated to more familiar terms that to move you that you would have them to do you."
"Confucius conceived of an ideal state of society, but such a society, he taught, must be based on the ideal man. His perfect society was one in which all people would enjoy equal rights."
Along with the philosophy of a perfect state is the teaching of self-cultivation and the determination to do right, Mr. Wang explained. The ideal society of Confucius began with the development of the inner self.
Self-Cultivation Taught
"Hibernize one of the differences of the philosophies of the East and the West," said Mr. Wang. "While the Europeans themselves, the Europeans want to reform others. Followers of Confucian never try to reform others before they themselves are reformed; conversations between them and missionaries into other lands."
Mr. Wang mentioned several other great Chinese teachers and told briefly of the philosophies that they had contributed. One of the most important and one whose teachings have survived is the confluence he said, was Lao Tao, who advocated the philosophy of living a natural life, Mu-Tue, another great philosopher, embodies in his teachings the principles of love and devotion, he
philosopher, embody in his teachings the principles of love and devotion; he said.
"All these great teachers have influenced the Chinese trend of thought and all of them have left an indelible mark on the civilization of China just as Christianity has left a mark on the civilization of the West."
Differences in Religion Snowf
The speaker pointed out three fundamental differences between the regional China and the western religion.
Differences in Religion Shown
"In the first place, the Chinese religion has no ghosts. By that it mean it is based on the development rather than on fear of punishment."
"Second, it is marked by an ab-
solute sense of creed. There exists absol-
ate freedom of thought and a tolerant
attitude toward the beliefs of others
Mr. Wang said that he himself is a Christian, and for this reason he feels more freedom in discussing the principles of Confucianism.
"Third, there is an absence of extremities. The religion teaches the people to be good, but not too good." Bits of satire characterised Mr. Wang's talk, and his criticisms were always coupled with a dehumanizing tone of racial antipathies, be said foreigners of different nationalities in this country were usually given a nickname, such as "chink" for Chinese, but added that all foreigners in China were dabbed "foreign devil".
"So closely related in principle are the two religions," he remarked in an open forum discussion after the church, "that a 100 per cent Christian would perhaps find himself a 90 per cent Confucianist."

First Snow This Year Appears on Mt. Oread
The first signs of winter were present, bringing joy to many people, and unhappiness to others. The snow flurry was the first of the year, but was rather late in comparison with other years. Slight flurries occurred September and a white Thanksgiving is not an unusual sight in Kansas.
Roby cheeks and red noses were suspicious on the Hill this morning is the result of the first real touch winter, when the kids were falling, not in large quantities, but still enough to make one realize that winter was at hand. These snowflakes, blown about by wind, can turn up their court collars, and haken their steps. The usual group of students standing in front of the buildings was missing. The men did not move along the way for their friendly lady.

Students Receive Fines for Violation of Library Rulings
Two Women Check Books From Reserve Section Using Fictitious
Names
Two women students of the University have been penalized credit hours for violation of rules of the University library. One was given falling grades in two five-hour courses, and the other was failed in five hours and required to present an additional five hours for graduation.
Announcement of the penalties was made by the chancellor's office, since the violation of library rules had hampered curricular activities and the incident had been handled by University administration instead of the state.
Specifically, the women were measured of taking from the reservoirsee names, names, names, bodies needed by three different departments of instruction. These books were withheld three weeks, seriously crippling the work of their despondent readers.
One Student Has Withdrawn
The student who was withdrawn 10 hours of credit has withdrawn from the University, while the older student is still attending classes.
"The prevalence of certain forms of dishonesty in the use of the University library by a few students has forced the University administration to recognise the necessity of including such forms in the step of university discipline.
"Your co-operation in making the following situation understood by your students will be appreciated.
"A particularly flugant case, h which the charges were admitted by the suspected offenders, involving not only diathomety on the part of the student but seriously handicapping the work of classes in three departments, was the result for the more than a of a severe penalty upon the students implicated.
Fair Play Should Be Factor
Regarding the incident, the Chancellor recently sent the following letter to members of the faculty: "We are confident in using the following situation understood by our
Fair Play Should be Factor
"The sense of fair play and the appreciation of the equal rights of fellow students to material need in common which characterizes the attitude of the faculty of the student body in its relation to the liberties of the University is and should be the most powerful factor in making cases of this kind of rare occurrence in university life."
"Because the use of library books is so closely connected with class room work, the cases were handled by the dean and the chancellor instead of being referred to W. S. G. A," said John R. Dyer, secretary, the vice president of W. S. G. A, was asked and carefully considered."
By comparing handwriting of the fictitious names on the name cards with specimens of handwriting of the real book, we can determine that books were being used, the identity of the violators was exposed. The instructors in these departments, psychology and economics, furnished the fictitious names that were used in the comparison.
