Students Start Local Drive to Provide Relief for Russians
Journalists Head Campaign in Behalf of Russians in Famine Area
A campaign to furnish relief for the famine-striken peasants in the Russian famine zone is being conducted this week by the department of journalism here. Clare Forgusson and her colleagues are in charge of the local drive.
All contributions received are sent to the American Friends' Service Committee at Philadelphia, where they are distributed to the stricken Russians.
"The need for help in that district is very great," said Helen Jaka today, in speaking of the relief work "The condition of the Russians is deplorable. Food, clothing, and money are needed immediately."
"Last year, a similar movement was carried out by students of journalism and the results were more than gratifying. The need for help this year is greater than it was then, and we are hoping that an even better response will be accorded our efforts now."
Any person wishing to contribute clothing or money is asked to call the department of journalism, K. U. 25, and give his name and address. All contributions will be called for before Thursday night.
Those contributing clothing are especially urged to send only those articles which possess some degree of warmth and durability. Clothes for very young children are especially desired.
A special collection will be made Thursday night at a meeting of the K. U. Press Club when every memorial service is held. A penny for each year of his age.

University Loses New Auditorium By House Action
Point Committee Compromises on Educational Appropriations for Biennium
The University will have no new auditorium. This decision was reached by the joint conference committee of the house and senate Friday. It was a compromise on the educational appropriation bills for the coming biennium. The senate committee agreed to drop the items for the new buildings and the house committee accepted a 10 percent reduction in maintenance, repairs and repairs.
By losing the $300,000 auditorium,
that had been approved by the sen-
a.e., the University suffered most at
the hands of the joint conference
committee. There will be no new
buildings of major importance at the
educational institutions for the coming biennium.
Normals Will not Get Libraries
Pittsburg and Hays Normales each lost a $100,000 library building. Emporia Normal lost $30,000 that had been approved by the senate for the purchase of additional campus. The State Agricultural College was cut out of $100,000 for the completion of the cremery and veterinary buildings and reductions in expo- rent costs for the foundation movement for the larger plant. It was allowed only a 5 per cent maintenance increase, in accordance with the senate program.
Senate Total Lowered $600,000
The action of the legislature cuts nearly two million dollars from the department's budget. The clashing of the joint committee from the appropriations for contemplied new buildings lowers the senate's vote to 48,244,750.
The conference committee agreed on the following items for the University;

Students Do Less Work
Consider Studies First, Reports Employment Bureau
Of the most staid jobs are in the boarding clubs where students work for their board and room. Odd jobs include an hour come in rather frequently.
Seventy-five students have been placed in steady jobs both downtown and in boarding clubs in the residential district through the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau so far this year. Power calls for work have been made this semester than ever before, and the majority of those who have called are not over-enthusiastic for work. Some students will contribute to the conclusion that the students are doing less outside work and more studying.
About thirty students are on the waiting list at the present time for odd jobs on Sundays. The majority of these applicants do not have to work and are putting their school work first.
Drill for Union Foundation
Bids for the contract for the erection of the new Student Union building, north of Dyche Museum, have not been submitted yet. A drilling was made to ascertain the depth needed to drill into the structure on bed rock, but the depth was so great that it will be placed on shale. Shale has enough strength to hold up a much larger building than the proposed Union, according to John M. Shea.
Drill for Union Foundation
Few calls come to the bureau for work downtown, as most of the places were filled at the beginning and many of the students have kept their positions.
Cut Away Shrubs East of Fowler For New Library
Contractor Plans to Begin
Work Immediately on
New $250,000.00
Stimulation
Structure
Preparations for excavation on the new library sits have commenced, according to John M. Shen, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Shrubs located back of Snow Hall, where the excavator is located, were placed, were removed last week.
The new building will be approximately 150 feet wide and two stories high in front, the main part of the building will be a small grove of trees now stands. The ceilings will be high. The rear of the building will be at the brow of the hill overlooking the power plant building. It will furnish space for the library stacks.
No Time Limit Set
No definite time limit for the completion of the structure has been set. The contractor, A. H. Newman, of Des Moines, In., plans to commence work immediately. This company will soon be New Lawrance High School building.
The location of the library just back of Snow Hall will necessitate tearing down a part of the wooden annex of the Journalism building. This project includes the erection of two wings in addition to the main building, which is to be built now. Before these wings can be built, the Journalism building must be sterned or barned. The latter has been condemned for a number of years.
Spooner an Art Museum
The present library building is to become an art museum and will hold the Thayer collection and other similar possessions of the University.
The Old Chemistry Building, now the Journalism building, was the third to be erected for the University. The original building, Snow hall was completed in 1886.

Iowa Chairman Presents New Social Science Curricula To Association
Seven faculty members of the School of Education, who attended the meetings of the National Educational Association, in Cleveland, Ohio, attended the meeting in regard to the meetings, Dean R. A. Kent said this morning, "There was a report on "Social Science Curriculum" presented to the National Society for the Study of Education, including feature of all of the meetings.
"It will probably be a guide for the science curricula in elementary and secondary schools and colleges for years to come. This report was submitted by a committee of which Ernest Horn, of the Social Science department of the University of Iowa, was chairman."
"Another feature," said Dean Ken "was the attitude taken by the majority of speakers, in not giving their discussions over to generalities, but to a presentation and analysis of data." This is different from the discussions and reports of the meetings of only a few years previous."
Dean Kent lent a paper prepare by F. J. Kelly, dean of administration on "The Cost of Accounting as a Student Aid Program" for F. P. O'Brien, head of the Bureau of School Service, also presented a paper. W. R. Smith, professor of education, was elected chairman of a faculty of Education at the Schools of Educational Sociology."

O'Brien, head of the bureau of school service; T. J. Smiart, of the department of mathematics in the division of physics; James A. Naismith, professor of physical education; and H. P. Smith professor of education and superintendent of city schools in Lawrence.
Urge Cheerleader Tryouts
Each Convocation Offers Chance For Aspirants
No applicants reported during the basketball season for an opportunity to try out for next year's cheerleader as was proposed by the Men's Student Council. The team is over, Virgil Miller, present cheerleader, has suggested that any one desirous of serving in the capacity of cheerleader may try-out before the student body in an assembly sometime before the spring season. In practice, he will before any conventation. He will arrange for a try-out at that time.
"I am strongly in favor of the proposed plan of having the men try-out," said Mr. Miller, "as it gives the student body an opportunity to know the man as a ballot at voting time. The try-out system is one of the best ways to campaign before the election that one who is interested in the position can find. If he has the ability to select candidates and aware of it, this being the fairest way of selecting cheerleaders both for the applicants and the student body," Mr. Miller continued. Miller urges applicants to not hold on back until they are fully committed for they will not be received by the student body as professionals.

Norton Not Forced
Eight of the nine men taken by Coach Schidman prover their metal and placed himself or his team in an event. Apparently, Kansas out the best track队 of the middle west, if not of the entire west.
While Norton failed to equal the all around record of 5,454 made by Osborne of Illinois last year, it is said that he would undoubtedly have been better than competition been strong enough to force him to the 1 mint of his ability.
In Graham, Schlademan has a find. Graham is a sophomore and this was his first big meet, yet he jumped 22 feet 4-1.2 inches for a second in the broad jump and out at the six-foot mark in the high jump.
Poor Wins High Jump
Poor cleaned up in the high jump, clearing the bar at 6 feet 1 inch, going out on 6 feet 4 inches, which had he made it would have established another new carnival record. In the pole vault, Poor was outclasped through his marks indicated much latent strength

Must Make Grades to Have Dates
Here's something to tickle the proverbial male vanity. Dates are held up as an incentive to scholarship to the women of the University of California. The sororities have adopted a ruling, "Low marks, no beaux," which means that when a girl gets word from the dean that she is failing behind the Academy and will miss a week she is allowed gee glimmering. A bad record for a semester means that she must eschew theater parties and "hope" for the next semester.
Miss Ellen Simpson, of Kansas City, Mo., was the guest of Thelmia Kastor, c'24, Saturday and Sunday.
