Goal of Student Relief Work Is Internationalism
Youth of Europe Endure Intense Suffering, Says Conrad Hoffman at Assembly
"Of greatest interest in the student movement of Europe is its international aspects," said Conrad Hoffman this morning in convoction. "One of the greatest goals in our work abroad is the solidification of what we have achieved at the displacement of the intense nationalism which now exist by an international spirit. In that lies the future of Europe."
Mr. Hoffman, executive secretary of the student relief work of Europe, is touring the United States in the spring to attend a conference of Christian Association. He has been abroad three years in relief work and although his main offices were in France, he has spent much time in unity to study the conditions of the students in every part of Europe.
Students Throng Universities
Gadget Users Struggle to bring to the Universities in every part of Europe. They undergo the hardships that are prevalent in order to gain an education and knowledge with which to equip themselves for service to their countries in social and economic reorganization.
"The students are in dire distress. In most cases they possess no other clothing than that which they have on their backs. Text books are scarcely obtainable. I have known instances where a group of students would pool their small resources to help them gather together and while one read the book the others took notes in order to gain the contents."
Students Work Six Hours a Day
In speaking of the students and their intense desire to learn, Mr. Hoffman said, "The universities of the various countries have arranged their schedules so that the students can work six hours in the middle of the day, to earn money that is absolutely necessary to exist.
"At first we had some difficulty in matter, for the trade unions at first refused to let the students work at their trades, and in other cases we were forced to secure another outfit of clothing for the students to work in so that their one good suit would not be ruined.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE. KANSAS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1923
Hold International Conference "Of particular importance was the Student International Conference which was held in Parad, Hungary. The conference was attended by tendance, representing thirty-two nationalities. The conference was at first marked by an intense national feeling, but toward the close of the week's conference, this gave way to an international feeling and created almost unbreakable ties between all of the various countries of Europe.
"There is a strong sentiment among the students that there should exist a student league of nations, for they feel that only in that way will the future peace of Europe be assured the Christian brotherhood be maintained."
In closing Mr. Hoffman said, "The students of the United States are asked to join hands with those across the sea in an effort to promote a greater international spirit. I hope that your answer will be 'yes.'"
Classical Lectures Open to Entire Student Body
Prof. A. M. Wilcox gave his weekly lecture on the objects exhibited in the Classical Museum at 1130 this morning. He pointed out that a sculpture of the face is an interpretation in Greek sculpture. The influence of Greek architecture on modern architecture was illustrated by pictures of both. The stadiums built by American universities are examples, according to Professor Wilcox.
Professor Wilcox wishes to emphasize the fact that these lectures are open to the entire student body. The relation between the different stages
of Antiquity and relation of Antiquity with modern times will be the chief themes of the lectures. No lecture will be held next week, on account of the Thanksgiving vacation.
Madlyn Emmert, c'24, who has been ill for the past week, is able to be in school again.

Santa Fe Gets Ready to Carry Record Load of Rooters to Kansas
Eighty Extra Coaches Require for Thousands of Loyal Misfortunes
A record crowd from Columbia will attend the Missouri-Kansas game on Thanksgiving day, from all present indications. Eighty extra passenger coaches from the University spectators from Columbia, according to reports from the general office of the Santa Fe railroad. There will be no special trains run, but the extra coaches will be attached to regular trains running into Lawrence.
The M. U. team will arrive on train number 1 at 12:45 o'clock on the day of the game, and it is probable that the band will arrive at the same time. The Missouri R. O. T. c will come to Lawrence on two special coaches the day before the band will arrive on number 14 at 2 o'clock, and the Missouri delegation will arrive on number 5.
The exact number coming from Columbia can not be told because there were no tickets sold in Kansas City, and the old Missouri grads are buying their tickets from Columbia Pive thousand tickets were sent to them. The Tiger may ring in the stadium louder than it ever has before.
"Arrangements have been made for a special Pullman to convey Missouri rosters to the Kansas game," states the Columbia Missouri. "The Pullman will leave Colombia at 1 a.m. Thanksgiving day, and arrive in Lawrence at 8:30 a.m. on the round trip will be $9.65. Pullman rates will be $6 for upper berths and $8 for lower berths."
About 3,000 rooters came from Columbia two years ago for the "Turkey day game" and it was then that the first race ever made the trip. With 5,000 seats sold at Columbia, this old record will be shattered. At the game two years ago the Wabash railroad operated a bus to the races from Columbia and Kansas City.
Loses "Tiger" Propaganda
In a hurry to reach the slowly moving Ford coupe someone dropped more than a hundred small yellow cards, with black printing bearing the word "heaven." They never beaten." The cards were suitable to be worn in one's coat lap and were picked up by M. B. Huffman, night watchman, who had been watching the coupe for a few minutes from the inside of the observatory.
Night Watchman Sees Coupe in Front of Ad Building
"At 1 a. m. this morning a Ford coupe bearing the tag on a side window "Kansas Kan" drove slowly down in front of the Administration building, slowly around in front of the Engineering building", said Mr. Huffman.
Mr. Huffman tried to catch the number of the coupe but was unable to do so. He especially noticed how ever that the sign "Kansas Kan" was posted on the side window of the coupe.
As Mr. Huffman came out of the Observatory and started toward them a figure ran swiftly out from the shadows of the Engineering building and jumped on the side of the carvings, clapping the "Tiger" caw's n his hurry.
Chancellor and Mrs. E. H. Lindley will entertain the members of the faculty of the University at a reception our home Friday evening at 8 o'clock.
Memorial Reports of Pledges Reach Total of $11,175
Captains and Workers Meet
at Commons for Dinner
and Short Talks
Wednesday
The total pledged for the Stadium-Union union reached $11,173 Wednesday night, according to reports turned in by the captains of the different teams, at a dinner given at the University Commons for the captains and workers. However, few of the reports were complete, due to the heavy rain and cold conditions present; a larger number had probably been pledged.
Immediately following the dinner, short talks were given by William L. Burdick, vice-president of the University, Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, directing secretary of the executive committee, and Miss Clara Koch, secretary of the original committee starting the first Stadium-Union drive.
Mr. Burdick especially emphasized the fact that all students could not give the same amount, that some could give more than others, and that no student should give more than he or she can actually afford, without having to take office and give something, no matter how small. According to statistics from the Memorial office, some students who are giving the greatest amounts and who are paying their highest taxes are working their way through college.
Worker in First Drive Talks
In answer to the objection that students must write home before pledging, Miss Nigg brought out the point that the 128 who gave their lives in the great war did not write homes to their mothers asking perseverance. "Life meant as much to them as it does to us. The plan is not to ask the students to increase their allowance to meet the pledge, but they to save it out of their present allowance," concluded Miss Nigg. "The actual sum that a person must save to meet the sum asked by the teachers, workers, is less than 5 cents a day," said Professor Brumgartner.
Slogan is "Kick that Goal"
"Keith Schwinley and Harold Stonebaker, members of the R. O. T. C., are the ones who are doing the work on the miniature Union building north of Dyche museum, and deserve the greatest credit for giving their time and work," said Helen Jakia, public manager. The materials for furnishing the materials from which the miniature Union is being built.
No.58
"The slogan for the campaign is "Kick that Goal" said Miss Jaka. A sign will be placed on the bulletin board to encourage the captain and the amount, that his team has pledged. The sign will hear the campaign slogan, "Kick that Goal." "Captains and workers are requested to watch this bulletin board in training, standing as a model to increase their efforts accordingly," said Miss Jaka.

What About It?
Gambler or gridiron gladiator, which shall survive?
The best and most vile blood of Missouri and of Kansas will intermingle on Memorial Stadium field at Lawrence University. These sturdy football men be the nawns for gambblers?
The so-called loyal supporter of the University who is forced to place a wager on his Alma Mater in order to generate a superficial enthusiasm is selling his college birthright for a mess of potage. College spirit is the essence of loyalty and altruism. Gambling is selfish, man or woman who places a wager on his Alma Mater for gain is not a true sportman.
Professional sports have al al ways been viewed with suspicion. Amateur sports have remained clean. Gambling is the heat out of athletic competition and stifle clean sport.
The game is the thing—not the gambling.
Whether or not we could afford to lose the bet, we can't afford to lose the game. Better we are working against the team.

Marjorie Lynch played the part of Jack, and Dorothy George that of Tubby, Jack's roommate, both playing the masculine roles with great success. Betty Mitchel and Louse Mitchel gave several dances and songs.

Beware of Gwinn Henry'
'ans Believe Saturday's Upset May Fool Jayhawkers
"Kansas University better watch out for Gwin Henry now," was a statement in the Topeka Capital, quoting the feelings of Emporia fans during the game against Gwin Henry. Missouri Tiger mentor, for the last five years.
Henry's teams are said to be most dangerous just after they have lost a game they believed would be easy. Emporia fans believe the upst Saturday, when Washington defeated Missouri, may be the means by which the Tigers will surprise their Jayhawk enemy on Thanksgiving.
Last season Gwinn Henry's College of Emporia team was defeated by Sterling and tied by Hays and Southwestern, all low in the conference standings, then the Henry men team, which had four out of seven Teachers, the conference leaders, who, until then, had conquered all comers by decisive scores.
"What Henry has done here he can do in Missouri," his friends say, "He'll like nothing better than an overconfident 'Jay' bird for his Thanksgiving feast. If K. U. gets cocky she get will shadd."

Foster in his talk "I know the students enrollment cards, and I find that 46 per cent of the men students of the University are entirely self-supporting. A large number, in addition, are partially self-supporting. They are enrolled this year, over 500 come from Kansas farms and small towns."

Construction Under Way on Two Town Buildings
Two new buildings are being erected on Ninth and Indiana streets. One part of the building on the south side of the street is to be used either for a drug store or a lunch room, and the other part is to be used as a store. The other part is to be placed on the north is to be used merely as a to the cafe, which is there, and the other part is to be used as an up-to-date barber shop.
According to George Maddux, the owner of the south building, the building will be taken by some local man. As they are still under construction no definite plans have been made.
