THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Nations of World Unite to Alleviate Europe's Distress
Conrad Hoffman Tabulate
Needs of Students and
Work That Will Be
Undertaken
"Approximately one dollar will provide a daily meal for one month for a European student," said Conrad Hoffman in a letter recently received by Dean J. R. Dyer. He further states that ten dollars will provide a daily meal for the school "At O'Connell University, we actually students with a daily meal at the cost of sixty-five cents a month per student," he said.
"Forty-two nations of the world are co-operating to alleviate the suffering and distress of the European students," said Mr. Huffman. One of those contributors was that of 3000 South African students who in five months raised $14,000. In Great Britain more than 500 students raised one-third as much as the $500,000 American students. Japanese women students by inaugurating a "self-denial week," thereby contributed $4,000 to the Friendship Fund.
Students Sacrifice for Others
Students Sarcrifice for Others
Of other stories told by Mr. Hoffman, he told of the sarcrifice of the students themselves for their less fortunate fellows. He then requests students at university who receive a subsidy, are taxing themselves 5 to 10 per cent of their allowances to provide funds to help other less fortunate students who get no government subsidies.
Mr. Hoffman tabulates the needs of the foreign students this year and the work that will be undertaken by the European Student Relief. They are as follows: (1) Russian students; $c)$ refugees student in central Russia; (2) Austrian students, Poland, and Hungary; (4) Further support of the many student self-help and service enterprises because of the disastrous currency depreciations.
In Russia 'Needs' help
In Russia "we need" the
"why help Russians?" Mr. Hoffman says,
"because Russia needs trained experts, doctors, engineers, and agriculturalists for reconstruction; teachers for socialization; experts for social reorganization." Instead of fostering Bolshevism, the work will counteract the tendency toward extreme communism because it exerts the strongest factor in this respect."

ink was given.
During the first nine months of 1923 the carriers handled more freight traffic than during any previous corresponding period, the net freight being about $75 million; freight being reported as 343,796,790,000. This represents an increase of 2.9 per cent over the corresponding period in 1920 which marked the previous record and 4.8 per cent in 1921, with a peak last year, when freight traffic was reduced somewhat by the strikes of coal miners and railway shopmen.
Washington, Dec. 11.—Some facts which characterize the history of the current year are: the unprecedented volume of traffic handled, the concurrent transformation of a car shortage condition into one of car surplusage, and an exceptionally equitable distribution of availabilities within the city, which the large traffic movements originate, as was stated by the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Washington, Dec. 6.

Rock Island Road Will Give Service to Local Patrons
Agreement Completed With Union Pacific Railway; Schedule to Begin Dec. 20
Rock Island passenger trains will stop at Lawrence to take on and discharge passengers, according to an agreement reached between the Rock Island Railroad and Pacific railroads. The new schedule will probably go into effect Dec. 20.
The Rock Island trains use the Union Pacific tracks from Kansas to Topeka under a long time lens, which provided that no passengers could be taken on or let off trains. The railroad made it necessary for many University students, in particular, to go to Topeka and change trains.
"It is with great pleasure I advise you Mr. Gorman has completed arrangements whereby Rock Island trains in future will stop at Lawrence to receive and discharge passengers to and from Rock Island territory. Efforts are being made to get the tariff published so that students may avail them on Christmas holidays. Passenger department advises that we make tariff effective Dec. 20. My kindest regards."

According to the terms of the arrangement, the Rock Island trains are not permitted to compete with the Union Pacific trains for service to the local points between Lawrence and Kansas City and Lawrence and Kansas City. The trains have been made known, however, regarding the service which the Rock Island may give passenger to and from Lawrence.
