Christmas Candle Sale For Russians Begins Tomorrow
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1022
Arthur J. Hillman Will Give One Dollar For Every Three Raised by University
"It is interesting to note that a 'certain liberal citizen' here has offered to give one dollar for every three which the students of Kansas give, which would mean a total compensation would be credited with $4,000," writes Arthur J. Hillman, of Denver, with reference to the raising of the Kansas Friendship Fund. Candles will go on sale that purpose at Fraser, Spooner West, East Ad, Middle Ad, East and Engineering Building tomorrow.
The Friendship candles this year are crimson, tied with blue ribbons. By purchasing one at his own price any K. U. student who wishes may voluntarily contribute to the Kansas Friendship Fund. At the Christmas tree day night this fund will be presented to the Chancellor who will receive it on behalf of the designated causes it will go to help.
No "Passing of Hat"
There will be no soliciting or "passing of the hat" is the decree of the Christmas tree committee, who say that all contributions will be entirely voluntary, and that there will be no records kept for reference or publicity.
This year it was decided by the committee that the fund shall go for student relief in Russia, for Russian students refuge in the cities of Central Europe, and for the students from Smyrna and Asin Minor whose universities have been entirely destroyed, and that a part of the fund shall be kept for the University's Student Loan Fund.
Seventi飞liggins, who managed the Christmas tree plans last year, said today that he was glad to see that a student was going for Russian student relief.
"Nobody could have heard Margaret Wrong's talk in Westminster Hall last week without wanting to help the Russians, I believe Miss Wrong is an authority on European conditions," continued Higgins. "She couldn't have worked with those people as Secretary of the World's Student Christian Federation without knowing all about them."
Describes Student Conditions
According to Miss Wrong students live five in a room. They eat one hot meal a day consisting usually of a boiled potato, a piece of black bread, and a cup of coffee. They seldom eat more than that. Their clothes are now being made from sheets, window curtains, and other household goods. Books they throw back to their childhood, which they have resurrected and lengthened. "They are always cold," said Miss Wrong.

"The committee decided this year to help Russia instead of other European countries, because in the other countries self-help plans are not being made yet, so nothing has been done in Russia. It was impossible to enter the country last year on account of opposition from the government," said Melvin Griffin this morning. "We can now enter and make those conditions there are indesirable."

Faculty Ruling On Afternoon Classes For Sophs Passed
committee on Scholarship Makes New Recommendations in Credits and Absences
Recommendations that all sophomores be required to take five hours of work in the afternoon beginning the second semester, and that careful records of absences before and after Christmas vacation be kept by all members of the faculty, were adopted at a special meeting of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts Friday afternoon.
The ruling in regard to sophomore classes was necessary, according to Dean J. G. Brandt because of the ruling that a department must use a room thirty hours a week in order to have a claim on it. The fact that the ruling has worked so well with freshmen led to its adoption for sophomores.
Recommendations were presented to the faculty by the committee on the improvement of undergraduate scholarship of which Dean Bridgitt is chairman, but only part of one recommendation, that for recording absences from classes, will be taken time. The other recommendations will come up at the next faculty meeting.
The four recommendations presented are:
Twenty-five Per Cent D's
1. That in order to graduate not more than twenty-five per cent of a students work can be of "1P" grade, we must be of "1S". It must be balanced by A's and B's.
2. That freshmen, sophomores, and juniors must have a minimum total of 20, 50, and 80 honor points respectively before promotion to the next class; in addition to our present credit points, they must also earn these points to be carried by A's counting three, B's two, and C's one honor point respectively.
3. That no student can be promoted to the junior class who has not satisfactorily completed all the courses taken in the freshman year and that no one be promoted to the senior class who has not similarly completed all the courses taken in the sophomore year.
4. That careful records of absences before and after the coming holidays be kept and that instructors penalize students for such absences by a reduction of their grades, notice of such absences given by publication in the Kansas.
The first part of this recommenda tion was adopted.
Discuss Absences
The present rule governing absences provides that students who are absent from class an exclusive number of times shall be withdrawn from that course with a failing grade. Some changes must be made in this rule, Dean Brandt said this morning, in order to make its operation fairer to the student as well as more possible administration from the dean's office.
The difficulties of administration arise because the faculty has not defined what it means by excessive absences, because students may explain "cuts" too easily since it is understood in the dean's office that absences are not counted as excessive," because no special provision has been made to cover absences just preceding or following a holiday, and finally, because the rule has been too drastic in the case of students who may not be able to explain absences without nevertheless dative service work.
Students Have Charge of Class Volley Contes
(Continued on Page 3.)
Members of the class in principles of recreative sports have complete charge of the volleyball tournament now being planned. Class practices have started with the women in this class as coaches.
The tournament will not be played until after the holidays, but it is important, according to Miss Margaret Barto, of the department of physical education, that all course hoping to make the team be out for class practice this week.
Dean F. J. Kelly will talk over the *Star*'s radio at the regular 6 'oClock *educational program in Kansas City Bldg'd" view of a *State University*.
Plan Cosmopolitan Night Early Second Semester
At the meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club Sunday afternoon plans for a Cosmopolitan night were definitely being taken. If some time early next semester, be some time early next semester.
There are seven nationalities represented in the club, and each nationality is to contribute something typical of his country.

There is also great experience in dramatic work for a number of years, both here and at the University of Michigan, has charge of the program.
Jayhawker Glosses Are Called For By Ted Hudson, Editor
As Many as Possible Should be Turned in Before The Holidays
"All glasses for the 1923 Jayhawk must be turned in at the Jayhawk Office before January 5," said Ted Hudson, editor, this morning. "We would like for as many as possible to turn in their glasses right now, and hope most of them will come in this week, so as to allow us some time during the holidays for cataloging them.
"If the students could only realize what a great amount of work we are required to do for every gloss curved in, I am sure they would let us have them as early as possible." he continued. "The Jayhawker system calls for a complete record of the student's performance on the gloss, and this record must be entered on the Jayhawker records for verification, copied for the printer, the cut and the copy given a key number for the printer and for the engraver, and all these numbers recorded at the Jayhawker Office. Friaterin' y pictures of the glosses made by the check is made for accuracy, and every item must be recorded completely.
"The engraving company has placed January 15 as the deadline for us to get all matter in to them," explains Mr. Hudson, "and with our deadline as late as January 5, it will be excessively early, and we will not night during those ten days to get this material in shape to be sent in. After all pictures have been turned in, we will have to arrange it according to pane in which it will appear in the dyahjawkher, and all this must be done before the material leaves our hands.
"January 5 sounds a long ways off, but it is only four days after the vacation, and unless sittings have been made before the vacation closes it will be almost impossible to get in before the deadline. Those who have glasses already will be doing us a great favor to let us have them this week so we may catalog them during the holidays.
The Jayhawker managers this year are planning to increase the number of pages to 600, and one of the new features is a junior section, in which every junior is expected to have his picture.
