Students Discuss Christianity and World Problems
Speakers Presenting Varied Viewpoints Address Ninth Volunteer Conference
Four major problems confronting the delegates who attended the ninth annual conference of the Student Volunteer Movement at Indianapolis, Mo., on Friday were the Christian Way of Life," "Race Relationship," "International and Economic Problems," and "Development of the Youth Movement." The subjects of war and race relation are outstanding issues of the convention.
Men representing various races and countries presented their people's needs and problems. Among the speakers were Sherwood Eddy, Robert E. Speer, John R. Mott, Paul Harrison from Arabia, Canon Woods from England, and Hon. Newton W. Rowell of Canada.
Possible Solutions Presented
It was the general opinion at the convention that war was undesirable and unchristian. Four viewpoints were presented by four students, advancing possible solutions for the avoiding of war; premeditated an invasion; a premeditated League of Nations, and no participation in war direct or indirect.
That Christ's principles were not only for the white race but that every human being should have equal rights was in evidence throughout the convention. It was pointed out that the difference in the color of the skin had no bearing on the ability of the race to work; it also pointed out that if ever a race war were started, the white race would be outnumbered by far.
Meeting to Be Held Tuesday
NO.
Youths in European countries have started youth movements, according to many of the speakers. Although there is somewhat of a youth movement in Poland, it has nearly so pronounced as in the foreign countries. The general opinion of the delegates was that a movement of this sort must be spontaneous. Many college representatives attended. Or a Y. M. C. A. on their campus.
Bursting Pipe Damages
Press Room Loss Is Estimated at About $200
Christianity seemed to be the solution to the international and economic problems of the world today. It was shown that America was in a global position that allowed countries and that the love of Christ would tend to solve the problem.
The Kansas delegation had determined to bring back some of the spirit manifested at Indianapolis. A meeting will be held Tuesday at 4:30 p. m. at Myers hall which is open on Sunday. Delegates will report and answer questions, according to Marie Russ. Y. W. C. a. secretary.
Damage estimated at $200 was caused in the job printing room of the University Daily Kansan yesterday afternoon when a frozen pipe burst in the Sky Parlor of the Journalism building. The loss is figured in the delay of work, water damaged machinery, completed repairs, or it may be necessary to clean a press and a folder before work can be resumed.
When Guy Pennock, manager of the job printing room of the University Daily Kansas, entered the press room yesterday afternoon he found the floor flooded and water dripping from the ceiling. The piece shewn in the window, which he found in the Sky Parlor during the recent cold spell, had burst.
After obtaining help he turned the water off and drained the water, which was about a foo deep, out of the basin. He then used the drainage in the center of the floor.
NIVERSITY OF KANS' 8. LAW
Next "Owl" in February
“There will not be another edition of the 'Sour Owl' before Feb. 22,” said Houner Smith, the editor, this morning. Although the indemnity of the weather cut off early on, most of the Owls are satisfied and promise that the next number, the name of which they are not yet ready to disclose, will be “bigger and better than ever.”
Six K. U. Student Pastors Attend Religious Session
Six delegates from the University of Kansas attended the convention of religious workers in state universities held at the Chicago Beach Hotel in Chicago Jan. 1-9. The delegates were: Dean S. B. Bladon; E利 Oorter, student pastor of the Presbyterian church; Edwin Price of the Methodist church; R. A. Eureau, of the Congregational church; N. D. Buchanan of the Lutheran church and F. E. Witcraft of the Baptist church. Mr. Gochring was elected president of the Central Region of Religious Workers.
One session was devoted to a discussion of schools of religion. This discussion was led by Dean Braden. "Religious campaigns on the Campus" was the topic for another discussion, given by David Worthington, 100 student pastors, from the central states attended the convention.
Administration Board Confers on Possibility of Road to Mt. Oread
Two Routes Considered; Survey to Begin Near Car Line to South of Campus
Construction of a road leading directly from the south up to Mt. Orcad is being desired by the Lawrence residents living south of the University campus and an active campaign is being conducted for it.
Members of the board of administration met Saturday, Jan. 5, at the University and decided to ask for the estimates on land acquired by Chancellor Lindley Saturday, E. O. Sherwood, one of the residents who has worked earnestly for the approach from the south of the campus, said that he was working to select the route leading near the University power plants.
The route with the easiest grade follows the street car line from the south edge of the campus northwest to join a road already constructed from the top of the campus down to the power house. This road would join a partly paved road but the objection is that no tracks from traffic going up the hill might disturb classes in the new University library.
The other route leads between Mrs. J. B. Watkins's house and Black ball. This position would not be a side of the campus. It is at it as one side of the campus.
At the meeting Saturday the subject of the south approach was gone over by Chancellor Lindley, Chairman Carney of the board, Roger Williams, John Shea, superintendent of grounds; E. C. Bussing, county clerk; and E. C. Wheeler, superintendent of the acquitted Mr. Shea to begin the survey at once of the line commencing near the street car line to the south side of the campus.
State Schools Rank High
Lawyers trained at the law schools of the University and at Washburn college in Topeka should be the best in the country for teaching on legal education issued by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. After telling the improvement of his life, schools, the report adds:
Lawyers at K. U. and Washburr Conform to Standard
"Kansas may now fairly claim the distinction of having the highest requirements of general education of lawyers in the country, and having in this respect led, rather than followed, the action of the American Association as manifested by the Washington conference on key education.
All women interested in basketball ball meet Tuesday, Jan. 8, in Robin gymnastium to make arrangements for practice hours—Rath Hover.
In Kansas, students who are the
primarily the study of law this year
must have completed two years of
a general college course by the time
they take the state bar examination
in June, 1925.
"No other state at present conforms to the standard of general education set by the conference, and the great majority do not call for even a preliminary high school education."
Kansas Will Play Six Valley Teams in 1924 Football
Missouri Students Desire to Keep Kansas Game on Thanksgiving Day Next Year
When the game with the Kansas Argies was scheduled for Oct. 18, the University eleven completed its 1924 football schedule with eight games played with Missouri Valley team and the other with the Oklahoma Akams. Oklahoma A. and M., however, is being considered admittance as a Valley member, no Kansas may have the Kansas schedule for the coming year.

between the University and the Agricultural College for Oct. 18.
Allen and Ahearn Make Statement Doctor Allen and Mr. Ahearn signed a statement to the effect that both teams were guilty of misconduct in play in the past, and that the playing during the season just closed bare carmarks of being up to the standards of the Missouri Valley. The trouble between the two schools rose after the K. U-Agile game when it was contended that some of the players were guilty of dirtry playing.
The Kansas football schedule now includes the meeting of every conference team with the exception of Grinnell. The schedule is as follows: Oct. 4, Oklahoma A. and M., at Lawrence; Oct. 11, Ames at Lawrence; Oct. 18, Kansas Aggies at Manhattan; Oct. 25, Nebraska at Lawrence; Nov. 1, Washington at St. Louis; Nov. 3, Drake at Des Moines; Nov. 7, Nebraska at Denver; Nov. 12, Missouri at Columbia. 101 West Houston Thanksgiving
1924 Missouri Game Thanksgiving
"It was thought that the annual
Thanksgiving game played
the Saturday preceding Thank-
giving in 1924," said Doctor Allen
this morning, "but Chancellor Linde-
ley received word that the Missouri
Athletic Board has decided to play
the game on the Saturday before
the Missouri conches,
and the athletic directors of the two
schools are in favor of closing the
season the Saturday preceding
Thanksgiving, but the Missouri students
want to include the game on
Saturday. We hope to play the 1925 game here on
the Saturday before Thanksgiving,
however." Doctor Allen continued.

Lawrence Gim Freezes
UARY 7. 1924

Miss McDonald's body was found by E. C. Welk, manager of the ranch half a mile from the road. It is thought that she was overcome by the cold while walking, as there were no indications of violence. She discharged him afterward. Miss McDonald was survived by her parents, two brothers, and five sisters. The body will be brought to Lawrence for burial.
Class-Cutting Before and After Holidays May Bring Penalties
Deduction of Grades Advocated as Measure; Brandt May Allow no Excuses
"Instructors must penalize students for cutting classes before and after vacation," said Dean J. G. Brands when questioned on the subject of cuts before and after a lesson, or that this of course more leisurely will be needed.
"According to the rule under which we operate, few absences are allowed," said Dean Brandt. "It provides that a student who is absent from class an excessive number of times may be withdrawn from the course with a grade of failure. We try to constrain them and ensure that for those the student is not able to offer satisfactory excuses," said Dean Brandt.
know the signs on the matter is on your glove on the matter is only briefly recommendations which were passed on Dec. 8, 1922, which recommended that careful records of absences before and after holidays be kept. A reduction of their grades was advocated as a penalty. The record of absences are now being turned into the registrar's office," said Dean Brandt.
The dean's office is now in the process of gathering data to see whether further legislation is needed. It is felt that there is no way of evaluating an excuse. "The fairest way at present seems to be to allow no excuses, as other universities do," said Dean Brandt.
