'Kamos' Denies Being K. U. Branch Of Klam
"This table reserved for the "Kanos," the card on the one of the tables at the Commons. Many guesses have been made as to who or what the "Kanos" are. They have been accused of being some new political figures, and the branch of the Ku Klux Klan. Investigation disclosed the fact that the "Kanos" are a group of girls who have taken advantage of the new policy of the Commons to reserve tables for groups. These women eat at the Commons regularly and desired to eat together, but were not always able to lice each other, so they were often claimed Missouri as their home, they joined Kansas-Missouri and evolved the name of "Kanos."

Hundred French Books Purchased by Librarie
A shipment of more than one hundred French books has been received by the library, from France. The books, which were purchased at a cost of $147.75, will go to the library of Rovelli, as well as mathematics libraries and mathematics libraries.
The present time is favorable for the purchase of foreign books, owing to the great depreciation of Europe an money. While Spooner Library has acquired a collection to the extent which many American libraries have, it has collected some of the most valuable French and German books. To offset the effects of the rate of exchange, however, German bookellers have raised three hundred books as much as three hundred per cent when selling to foreign buyers.

Fido Tries To Help Himself for Dinner
The party is a freshman affair and according to a late ruling by the Joint Committee of Student Affairs one month before each couple must see their year student.
What would Thanksgiving be without a turkey? So the main dish for our Thanksgiving dinner is a delicately browned and delicious turkey. Fido, if he happens to be near, is rewarded with a few scraps and buns, but that does not satisfy a wolf. What will happen? If you will he will endervor to get a turkey for himself. That is exactly what one Lawrence dog did.
After watching the preparations for a bountiful dinner in the kitchen, and smelling the pungent roost turkey, his mouth watered for a taste of that turkey. When he spied a flock of promising turkeys, which Prof. W. R. B. Robertson is using for his experiments in heredity, roaming up improbable areas, he clearly decided that they would make a fine feast. Fidel did his best, but failed, and had to return home in disappointment for a meal of scraps. Poor Fidel missed the feast, but the turkeys are carrying with them a reminder of his visit, as some of them will have to grow a new crop of feathers before cold weather sets in if they are to tide through the winter. And incidentally, if a man can carve a rock, his campus he is not a murderer or a thief, but Professor Robertson is on the trail of the offending dog.
Classes will not meet New Year's Day, Monday, January 1, 1923, as a result of a decision by the Chancellor's Cabinet at its meeting last Wednesday afternoon. This decision overrules the schedule for Christmas vacation as printed in the University catalog and the K Book. Vacation will extend from Friday evening, December 15, to Monday evening, January 1, 1923.
Lindsborg Painter Urges Appreciation Of Modern Artists
Birger, Sandzen. Foreeses
Renaissance of Art in
Productions of the
United States
Dv Molha Parkle
"New arts have arisen in the twentieth century. Photography has given a wrong standard of art, Science has crept into the arts," said Bürger Sanden, Kansas artist note, in his talk to art lovers Monday afternoon in East Administration Building. Mr. Sanden predicts a renascence of art in America in the immediate future.
Dean Butler, in introducing the artist, called him "the Painter of the West," the title by which he is known over all American. Dean Butler spoke briefly of his work in etching, lithograph, and oils, and enmured the museums which include Mr. Sanders's works.
"During the last few centuries people have been about fifty years behind their painters," Mr. Sanden declared. "This was not so during the Benaissance. Then people were artistically awake. They welcomed a new Madonna and carried it in triumph through the streets.
"What would happen if we carried a picture through the streets of Lawrence? We would be taken care off. Yet we carry baseball players off a field in triumph. In the future we will carry our paintings thus.
Growing Desire for Beauty
"This is a crowded age. We are rushed. There has been the Great War. We have not the patience to follow artistic creation. But now there is a growing desire for beauty.
"In Europe, where there is a great appreciation of art, people go to the concerts even when they are in poverty. Students in crowded quarters are producing art. Here is a frightful picture. But would it not be more frightful to see us here in plenty neglecting the same art. It is carey to save and further art.
"Now, artists are beginning to find each other," he said. "Pictures are going back to the wall and are becoming more decorative. Mural decorations are popular. Architecture and sculpture are coming back with great forces. Art as a whole is coming back in our schools, our homes, our lives. We are seeking methods of cooperation. The artist is no longer working alone in an 'art for art's sake' atmosphere.
For the future, he has the brightest of homes.
"Gifted Artists in West"
"There is much talent here in the West," he said, "really gifted young artist who need encouragement, for they will find a hard road ahead of them."
Lithographs, woodcutting, Japanese prints, and etchings are coming back according to Mr. Sanden, and he will be the best market for prints of all kinds.
In closing, Mr. Sandzen entreated young artists to keep their ambition and inspiration with the advance of age.
A group of Mr. Sanders' paintings will be on exhibit every afternoon until December 15., on the third floor of East Administration Building.
College Must Pay Debt
Officers Ask for Money to Cover Hon Deficit
An attempt to pay a standing debt of sixty dollars contracted by the College in a Hop two years ago is being made by the officers of the college.
Letters have been sent to about twenty students in the College by the president, Travis Hale, asking them to collect from other students of the College subscriptions from ten to fifty cents to a sum totaling two dollars. These letters are to be returned with the money and the names of the donors to the president, Mimiell Larson or Dorothy Higgins, other officers.
Send the Daily Kansan Home.
This debt is of the whole College and is not connected with the Sophomore Hop. The College Hop of two years ago was held on a rainy night and there was a small attendance. A note covering the debt was signed by the hop manager and a friend of the College; it falls due in a few days. The debt must be paid before the College can do anything in a social way.

A football game between two of the best teams in Kansas will be played on Stadium Field the day of day of Athletic week, Friday, December 15. The high school teams have not been selected yet. The Kansas State high school team has not asked to name the contests, but, according to R. R. Cook, of Topeka, president of the association, there is no desire of the officers of that organization to choose the teams and that the selection should be left to the University of Kansas. However, it remains clear that the teams will be limited to those that are members of the Kansas State high school athletic association.
A special feature of the week's instruction and entertainment for athletes and conches will be an "Atlantic Night" on Wednesday, December 13. The program for that evening will be open to all ages.

U. and U.S. Military Academy, will give a lecture on sports and several other athletic numbers are yet to be arranged for the evening.
The matter of choosing the high school teams for this game will probably be taken up with the athletic committee, according to Doctor Allen.
"This game is not for the purpose of deciding the championship of Kansas, but it will be played by teams with fine records for the past season," said Doctor Allen.
