Christmas Candle Sale Starts For Friendship Fund
NUMBER 66
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1922
Receipts at Noon Total $350
New 'ules Made For
10 Per Cent
'ouses
By noon today approximately $500 had been realized on voluntary contributions to the Friendship Fund through purchase of Friendship Candles. The highest price paid for a Christmas candle this morning was $10. The faculty member who purchased the candle asked if, for that amount, he and his wife might be entitled to a pair of Yule ice candles at the 100 per cent houses are living. He was given the candies.
New 100 percet training
"To be 100 per cent the Christmas tree," he says. "I must have every member individually buy a cake and get a receipt for it," said Melain Griffin, manager of the tree today. "But since then the committee has changed its mind in favor of being more generous in interpreting the requirements for a 100 per cent house. It has been decided that in addition to the first stipulation there will now be another one, similar to last year, whereby an annual lump sum, will be counted 100 per cent and entitled to a pair of Yuletide candles and a seraemade.
June Judy, in charge of the candle sale, said this morning that the sale started off with remarkable enthusiasm. "By tomorrow night we're expecting to see all organized houses built up 100 per cent," said Miss Judy.
New 100 Percent Ruling
"The committee has also been generous in another interpretation," continued Griffin, "that is, in how a person's receipt shall count if he should belong to more than one organization a house. It has decided that one script can count as many places as you want it to. For example, for both your social and your professional fraternity, your rooming house and your boarding house—or just as many houses as you like—so that it will be made as easy as possible for houses to be 100 per cent."
History Learned, in charge of decorations for the Christmas tree, says that his committee on electrical reports that it is putting forth every effort to secure more lighting effects than there last year.
Tree Decorations Progress
Basedes using many colored lights Learned said that the tree will be batten with ropes of tinsel and red Cotton also it also to give to the give
"The same large star that was used last year will top off the tree," said Learned today. "We are also planing nights on the speakers and singers."
Owl Editors Need Copy
Board Welcomes Cartoons, Quibs And Anecdotes
"We must have Sour Owl copy at once if the magazine is to be as classy as we want it to be," said the editor today. "We want to start the new year rich by putting forth an essay in high and always be remembered."
Resolutions is to be the name of the forthcoming issue, and that idea will be predominant. Nevertheless any good original quip, sketch, short story \geq anecdote, featuring the humorous or ridiculous, and will preclude it in the student body at large will be welcomed with out-stretched arms.
Real competition exists among the artists of the Hill for the cover design. The editors promise that the cover will be a real feature of the Owl this time. "Tell 'em we can use more cartoons. If they can't think of ideas we'll try to furnish, a few if they will drop around and see us."
Friday is the deadline on copy, and the editors hope to have all the material in hand at this time. A box for copy is located at the entrance of the campus and another one in the Kanan news room.

Jayhawker to Use Motif of Colonial Architecture
Edward W. Hill and R. T. Poul of the John Oliver Engraving Company, Chicago, made a personal visit last week consulting the Jahyawker management in regards to the art work on the 1923 Jahyawker.
The opening or title pages are to be worked out artistically using the Adem style of Colonial architecture as a motif. These designs are to be worked out in the Jawhaker or ivy tinted paper. All of the division pages and subdivision pages are to be worked out in these graphics rather than cartoons. This is a different idea than any heretofore used by college annuals.
War Veterans Have Information About State Bonus Bill
To be an Act it Must Pass the Legislature and Signed by Governor
Owing to the fact that a great many students of the University who are eligible to receive a bonus under the Act passed at the last election, and a great many inquiries have been made in regard to it; the local post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars has the following information from the Adjutant General's Office at Topkha to not out for their information.
In the first place the bill is operative only after it has been passed by the legislature, signed by the Governor and published in the usual manner. Not until then is the Bonz Board allowed to function. Arguments against certain propositions of the bonus are being received at the Adjutant's office. The chief officer will agree with another upon the question of what her herer should be a maximum or not.
At the present time one person is as qualified to speak as another if he has given the proposed law a careful reading and consideration. The decision of the Supreme court affirms that the construction of the law. All rumors in regard to the payment of the bonus and the classes of service benefitted by the act are unfounded at the present time. Everything possible should be done to discourage such misunderstanding, and it should be regarded to the interposition of the law.
Election of officers for next year took place at the meting of V. F. W last night and the following men were elected, Commander, Tom Wagner; Senior Vice Commander, John Barker; Junior Vice Commander, George Bennett; Quartormaster, Milton Dye.
"Then, too, any grace-producing exercise—and dancing is certainly one of them—helps wonderfully in developing and adding charm to the fig
When told that a group of K. U. women interested in the finer sort of dancing had organized to further develop the art of dancing at the University, Mrs. Castle said, in an American tongue not at all affected by her剧作theatrically busy years in France, "I am very glad to hear that. Dancing at school or anywhere else is very good. It makes women, and men, too, mre graceful, and teaches them to enter or make a dance from among a group of people with ease and skill."

To Discuss Latest Discoveries in Field of Knowledge at Annual Conclave
Mrs. Irene Casting, appearing in a series of social dance numbers at the Orphneum Theater, Kansas City Mo., this week, reclined in her room, green plush rocker, in the sitting room of her three room suit at the Baltimore Hotel; and there, fondling one of her two Belgian griffon hats, she stumbled into Kansan interesting facts concerning herself, her ideas, and her opinions.
Has Membership of 250
The Academy of Science is a state institution maintained for the purpose of giving information about the purpose of giving information along scientific lines. It was founded in 1843, and at present is affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The Academy has a membership of 260. Its members are long to the American Association.
Lectures and papers on the new in science will hold the center of interest at the fifteenth annual meeting of ha Academy of Science which will assemble in the chemistry building of the University, February 16 and 17.

Irene Castle Lauds Endeavor Of Women of the University To Further Artistic Dancing
With her slender and supply body half reclining and relaxed; her brown-blond bobbed hair fallen over her one neck and one cheek, half concealing her brilliant brown eyes with half closed lids, she was an exquisite person and caused the reporter no surprise when she declared that her suture had been removed and, a short time later, the European, bad, none unexpectedly over night.
Prof. E. A. White, of the department of chemistry here, and secretary of the Academy, met in Manhattan, Friday, with other officers to make plans for the meeting. The Academy met last year at Manhattan.
To date the Academy has published thirty volumes of scientific work and at present is preparing an index to these volumes, to be sent its members. A library of 6000 volumes is kept on the fifth floor of Fraser Hall and will be transferred to the University Library, N. Manchester, director of libraries, has charge of this library, and he has suggested an attempt be made to secure an appropriation of $500 from the legislature for binding and stacking of these volumes, as they are valuable for the use of members of the Academy and faculty members. Specimens, including weapons, pots, and other articles, found in the caves and digouts formerly occupied by the students, have been sent to the society by Albert R. Reagan, a member of the Academy who is in Indian service in northern Arizona.
PUBLISHED TECHNICAL WORK
The work of the Academy includes papered invitations by prominent members of the country. Former members who have published noted works are: Former Chancellor of the University I

"Just now, the so-called social dancing is bad, very bad," she said when asked her opinion on the trend of present day dance, "but it is improving, and the people, as a whole, are becoming good dancers, and are demanding better dancing, not only of themselves, but of professional entertainers. Because of this demand, in order to retain my claim to success as a dancer, I have to create new and better steps."

"Now," she said, "hot water baths make the muscles more supply and keep them in trim. At my home, which is in Ithaca, near Cornell University, I have an especially long bath that is made hot baths and 'workouts'午休."
"Of course," Mrs. Castle continued.
"I get lots of outdoor exercise.
I love riding and swimming. I aspire
to become a really good diver some day."
The graceful, deliberate gesture of Mrs. Castle as she rose from her chain and moved with light, quick steps across the two rooms to the waiting telephone was proof that for her, at least, dancing had proved "a graceful dance" and helped her "wonderfully in developing and adding charm to the figure."
Voluntarily speaking of her former husband and dancing partner, Vernon Castle, who was killed in an airplane during the World War, she declared that she was indebted to him for all her success.
The conversation over the telephone ended, Mrs. Castle returned to the Kansan reporter.
With the collapse of the London conference or German reparations both sides look to the United States for answers, but the fight between members of the union is.

K.U. Alumni Hear Jayhawk Program From Alma Mater
University Receives Complimentary Telegrams From Distant States Praising Entertainment
Thousands of alumni and former K. U. students, ranging in location from New York to San Francisco, heard again the old familiar "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk," last night, and sang with thousands of others. The reason for this Rhythmic Areas is the first radio rally even held by college people.
The program was presented in Robinson Gymnasium, and received in Kansas City over the telephone, to be broadcasted from there over the Kansas City Star broadcasting station, W D A F. A receiving set, installed in the gymnasium, picked up the production through the medium of a "boud speaker", simultaneously with the original production of it.
Receive Complimentary Telegrams
Telegrams came in during the program last night from various parts of the country reporting that the program was being broadcast. Word was received from almost asistant at Saint Rose, La. Other telegrams were received from Hoisington, Kansas and Fort Smith, Ark. Telegrams and letters are being received from all over the country this morning praising the entertainment from the University last night.
Greeting messages and outlines of the progress at K. U., in recent years were given by George O. Foster, registrar, Dr. Frank Strong, former chancellor, Miss Margaret Lynn, of the department of English, representing the women of the University and Irving Hill, former president of the Alumni Association, and Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics
"With the spirit of K, U, alumni behind us, we cannot fail, and we promise you in the future more championship games," Allen said in conclusion his message.
"Help us to bring to the people the great stake they have in a modern university, the need of adequate provision for a well-paid staff of teachers, modern laboratory equipment, and adequate buildings to care for the children of the numbers of the chosen sons and daughters of the commonwealth.
Chancellor Lindley Speaks "No state can be greater than its University," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley in the principal address of the evening, in calling upon alumni to aid K. U. in its program of efficiency and influence throughout the state and outside of it.

Theses Written By Students May Aid Choosing Vocations
Dean Templin's Class Will Make Survey and Reports on Various Professions
A novel method of combining work with useful service to the University will be tried out by Prof. Ol' Tempin of the department of philosophy. In an advanced class, Ethics of Vocations and Professions, he is requiring a thesis by each member of the class on the various vociations and professions of today. All these are planned and discussed in class with his view of making them as well rounded out as possible.
A survey of the field of the assigned subject is made and the student reports his views and findings in class. These are criticized, and improvements are suggested that when the paper is written it will contain a complete survey of the field attempted. Reasons for the existence of various professions, their ethical requirements, the requirements of the field for persons wishing to enter the field, are discussed.
Professor Templin hopes to obtain sufficient information from the assigned subjects that a comprehensive perspective may be given to students who intend to make one of them their life work.
"Very often a student today does not know what profession to enter!" said Professor Templin. "He does not know always...where to go to find what is really essential to know before entering his life work. I hope to have these tenses bound and place in the library for the purpose of setting forth exactly what each career offers to the young man and the type of man the profession demands."

"Nice Boy" Makes Get-Away With $300 and Prof's Trunk; Lawrence Police Are on Train
Conrad C. Cameros—Spanish accent on the "er"—of Colombia, South America; Hawaii, Idaho and other distant localities; son of a famous Army officer; or a prominent Colombian diplomat; special student in architectural engineering at the University of Kansas; globe trotter; social lion and prize richest of several fraternities has disappeared.
With him have gone clothes and other merchandise valued at nearly $500, the hopes of several sorrowful friends—and a professor's wardrobe trunk.
"Cameros" came to Lawrence November 22. He secured a suite of rooms at a University professor's home. These rooms were soon made into a semitrust home with the help of lawyers from the university to his account with Lawrence merchants until his money came from his "guardian."
C. C. Cameron left hurriedly late last week in response to a telegram saying that his mother was ill in Baltimore, according to the Lawrence police. A Lawrence taxi driver took Cameroon to Tonganoxie the day that the telegram was received and the police have since discovered that the telegram telling of his mother's illness was sent from Tonganoxie by the camera himself.
he had formerly gone to school in Hawaii—and others that his home was in Colombia, South America, where his father was a great statesman. He is supposed to be governed by his grandmother an attorney at Pocatello, Idaho.
In the few weeks that he was here he made many acquaintances—and ones he could not make himself were made for him by persons on the hill who wanted to see such a nice fellow get acquainted. He told some people
Cameros bought much clothing from Lawrence merchants on the strength of his "guardian in Idaho." He bought the clothes and took a statement leaving the clothes in the store. A week later he would turn up with a letter of approval from the Idaho guardian, write a check on the Idaho bank for more than his bill and leave with the goods and the change.
This scheme had worked for nearly $300 worth of merchandise on several of the merchants. He had taken nearly $200 worth of goods from one store alone when its manager became suspicious and wired the bank in Idaho. The answer came back "no funds."
By this time "Cameros" had sent himself the telegram and showed it to his landlady who immediately helped him pack in order that he might hurry to Baltimore to see his sick mother. One thing Mr. "Cameros" told her was to trunk the trunk. The landlady loaned Cameros her husband's wardrobe trunk.
It was nearly an hour after the sudden departure before those who had been taken in got together and compared stories and notified the police. No trace of him has been found yet.
Friendship Fund Aims Explained By Student Workers
County Clubs Plan to Put a Jayhawker in Every High School in The State
With the closing notes of the Rock Chalk the last all-University convocation before the Christmas holidays came to an end in Robinson, Gymnasium this morning at 11 o'clock. We had the privilege and the work of the newly organized county clubs was discussed. The opening talk was given by Chancellor Lindley. "We have met this morning with a Christmas spirit to think of those who are in need of our support," Chancellor Lindley. Dorothy Brandle was then introduced by Chancellor Lindley.
A Share to Student Loan
A Loan, Not a Gift
Miss Brandle has charged of the K. U. Christmas Friendship Fund. "There is a period of reconstruction in Russia at the present time; the country has been devastated and the universities have not been spared," said Miss Brandle. "Reconstruction can not 'take place', continued Miss Brandle, "without the earnest help of other countries. We must not fail to do our parts." The Friendship Fund this year will be divided into three parts. The greater part will go for the students, while the damaged parts of Syngman and Asia Minor. A portion of the fund will be given over to the K. U. student loan fund. Each student may say where he wishes his money to be placed. Miss Brandle also told of the poor living conditions of the Russian students. Each student averages about one meal a day. The meal consists of a dish of soup, baked beans, with a small quantity of black bread.
"These students are not accepting this money as gifts. They are receiving it as a loan."
Severt Higinis, chairman of last year's friendship fund committee explained the details of Christmas week. The K. U. Christmas ceremony will be held between Blake and Terry. Students will attend a 8 o'clock. "We want every organization on the campus to buy candles and help make this a successful Christmas night," said Higinis. Yuletide candles will be delivered to all organizations having a 100 per cent house. The candles are to be lighted and placed in the windows of the college library. A gift may be gotten from desks at Green Hall, Fraser Hall, Administration Building and Marvin Hall.
Praises Christmas Tree
In commenting upon last year's Christmas tree, Higgins said, "I believe the Christmas ceremony was one of the most beautiful things I ever saw on the campus." Quartettes from the K. U., glee clubs will sennade each 100 per cent organization. "Cap" Garvin was introduced as "the man who knows how to organize county clubs." According to Garvin, ninety-four organizations have been perfected.
"We have arranged with the managers of the Jayhawk to give the presidents of every organization the regular annual for the price of $2.25," said Garvin. "These Jayhawks will be able to attend the very high school which has an organization at K. U. If these organizations are interested there should be a Jayhawk in every high school. The amount of pep each student has in his particular community will depend on how many students who come to K. U. Let's have our share of high school graduates at K. U. next year."
