Committee Plans For All University Christmas Tree
Melvin Griffin is Chosen as Manager of Celebration to be Held on December 14
December 14 is the date set for the Christmas Tree—K, U, its infant tradition—tried and proved successful last year and established permanently as one of the University's finest customs.
Melvin Griffin, elected by the committee for the Christmas Tree as manager of the affair this year, expressed the wish that all students be on the night of Thursday, December 14, open for the celebration, which it did was that year by the large pine tree just north of Blake Hall.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, NOV. 27, 1922.
"If fraternities, or other organized houses, are planning Christmas dinners or parties, I wish they'd remember that Thursday night before the holidays has been set guide for the Christmas Tree and I would be there to help someone on some other night of the week," said "Giff" this morning.
The Executive Committee are un-
decided as to where the Student
Friendship Fund will go this year.
At a joint meeting of the committee
of workers and the executive com-
mite, a matter will be decided,
4. this matter will be decided,
and plans will be discussed for this year's
program.
Will Continue Friendship Fund
Last year K. U. inaugurated the new tradition of each year affording the students and faculty an opportunity to give to some worthy cause off the campus under the name of the Kansas Friendship Fund. The week before the Christmas recess is a day for the students' scriptions closing the night before the holiday with an all-University Christmas Tree celebration.
Student relief work in Europe, under the supervision of "Con" Hoffman, former Y. M. C. A. secretary at the University, was the cause to which contributions were made last year. "Con" Hoffman, in a letter to Rajkumar Foster recently, said, "The story of K.U.S. Christmas Tree went well." Hoffman also best pieces of international publicity at the University ever had."
Impressive Ceremony Held
Last year, before the Christmas Tree idea had been tried, Severi Higgins, manager, said, "We want every student to realize that the University of Kansas' Christmas Tree and the tradition just as the night shirt parade now is." This morning he said that he felt the night that he stood before the Christmas Tree and watched its impressive ceremony and its effect on the crowd gathered to witness it, that it was more than life-sized. "It's deeply satisfying itself as one of K. U.'s permanent and prized traditions.
Expresses Student Spirit
Chancellor Lindley is postponing his trip west forty-eight hours and thereby losing a chance to visit the Grand Canyon in order that he may be here for the Christmas Tree celebration. This morning he said:
"The University Christmas Tree of last year, the homes radiant with cinnies, and the Christmas carols will not soon be forgotten. As a beautiful and effective expression of goodwill and the spirit of Christmas we must take a place among the University's most cherished traditions."
"Virg" Miller, in speaking of last year's celebration this morning said that he, like many others, was dubious as to just how the whole thing would turn out. "But when I stood there and watched the light-candle-making ceremony I fell like 'Sandy' Winters made the shivers up and down my spine." I think that all the students felt that the Christmas Tree was one of the most worth-little things that happened last year

Group and Individual Glosses Wanted Now For 1923 Jayhawker
Deadline Set For January 5 Single Pictures a Feature of Annual
"All seniors, juniors, fraternities, and organizations should turn in their glasses at the Jayhawker office as they arrive. I will be the editor, this morning. The "deadline on these pictures is January 5, but we really want the pictures earlier if they are ready; for they must be by noon on January 6 or on the courier by January 15."
Every photographer in town is booked almost solid for Jayhawker pictures, according to Mr. Hudson, and those who have no: made appointments will have difficulty in getting a date.
"I would like to personally urge every junior and senior to have their pictures in the Jayhawk this year," said Mr. Hudson, "for it will mean much to them all socially, and the Jayhawk will have a bigger value to them personally. Everyone wants to see their friend's picture in the animal, so it is everyone's part to see that his own picture is in the section of your animal about for some reason or other, so this will be the only opportunity for some to have their pictures in the Jayhawkter."
The staff is now being chosen by the editor, and special effort will be made to complete it as much as possible. The editorial board is dedicated of about one hundred pages over that of last year, the editors feel that it is necessary to fix early deadlines on all material which can be handled as easily at this time in any other.
A new feature in the photographic section this year will be the use of individual photographs, artistically mounted on gray board, and re-photographed for the book. Opportunity will thus be given for individuality in each picture, is the belief of the editions; mounted on a wooden board; pictures have been announced as follows: all classes and class officers; three class societies, Sachs, Owls, and Torch; athletic board, Jayhawker coaching staff; Women's Panellium; members of the Men's Student Council; members of the W. S. G. A.; advisory council of 1923 Jayhawker; R. O. T. C. officers; the Jayhawker staff; Dramatic Club officers; and All of these should be glosse, size 4x7, and should have a dark background. All other organizations and societies will be represented with the usual form of group picture.

Varsity Defeats Freshmen In Last Game In Stadium
Brilliant Playing Done Behind Closed Gate in Preparation For Missouri
With their own goal line never in danger, the Kansas varsity squad snowed under the yelder eleven, 31 to 0 in the annual Varsity-Freshman game on Stadium field. The Jayhawk varsity smashed through the freshman line almost at will and crossed the fresh goal line five times while the Sprung machine was unable to maintain consistency against the older men.
The game was played behind closed gates, and there was no admittance. Secret practice which was started last Monday will continue today and the next chance to see the Kansans in action will be at Columbia Thursday.
S spurgeon Spoiled Fresh Hopes
For the past two years the yearlings have been victorious in the annual game on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving, but Tria Spurgeon fresh sent him hope for a win by opening kick-off he took the ball on the variety 10-yard line and raced ninety yards for the first touchdown. Then just to show the Spring protetes that it wasn't an accident, Spurgeon took the ball on the varsity 42-yard line later and then the oval goal net behind the goal net's goals.
Strong forward worked in the second quarter when the varisity by straight football carried the ball to the fresh 5-yard line and Burt plunged over for the six points. The varsity scored another touchdown in the first half, blocked a freshman, punt and fell on the ball behind the Fosh goal line.
Frosh Better in Last Half
In the third and fourth quarters the freshman defense strengthened and the varsity were held to one counter. During the third period and most of the fourth quarter, the freshmen successfully repelled the varsity. Then with just time for one play, Charlie Black, playing quarter, flipped to Calvert across the fresh groat line for a touchdown.
Oliver at quarter, Halpin at guard Mullins at tackles, and Testerman at end were the outstanding men on the Frosh eleven.

Maj. E. W. Turner who was graduated last year from the artillery school at Fort Monroe, Virginia, and arrived in Lawrence Saturday morning and entered upon his new duties as commanding officer of the University Hospital at Cannon H. J. Cassey who has been head of the unit since last September.
Major Turner comes to the University from Fort Wort, Washington, D. C., where he has been in command of a unit of regular army artillery. He is a man well educated in military tactics, and is well fitted for the post of commandant here because of his years of experience in different branches of the military service.
No Changes at Present
When asked what changes be intended making in the R. O. T. C here, Major Turner said, "The work is progressing very satisfactorily, and I see no need for change at this time. I want very much to see how this would work ever. The unit at a school of this size should be much larger."
According to former commanding officer, Captain Casey, who will remain at the University as a member of the faculty in the department of military science, the local unit expects this spring to have outdoor exercises and parades in addition to the regular drill.
Close Order Drill This Winter
During the winter there will be close order drill. No outdoor inspections or the exercises will be hold however, because the unit does not have enough weight to protect the men from the cold weather. The R, O, T, C. uniform does not include an overheat.

National Seltishness Retards Peace, Says Professor Blackman
Groups Have Not Perfected Exercise of Golden Rule as Individuals Have
That we can have no universal peace unit) the nations adopt the ethical relationships that govern the individuals, was the essence of a talk on "National Selfishness," by Prof. F. W. Blackmar, before the Students' Forum at the Unitarian Church Sunday morning.
"Self-interest should not be mistaken for selfishness," said Profession Blackman. "We must look after our own interests because of the law of survival. We must build up power if we can to serve. In our self-interest we must also have a false idea of loyalty make us say, 'My group first, right or wrong.'
"As individuals we have nearly perfected the exercise of the golden rule as groups we have not. Yet the group is not different from the individual by mere difference, and individually educate ourselves into the rich viewpoint of generality."
Professor Blackmar cited Switzerland as an example of a country that could prosper, without enlarging its boundaries, or enriched upon the rights and privileges of other countries. In conclusion he said that what we want is not a new Europe, but a regenerated Europe.
Professor Blackmar traced the growth of national selfishness in Germany back to the selfishness of smaller groups and individual fends and grabbers. He also declared that the other European nations were stepped in national selfishness and have the attitude of "I'm for the League of Nations after I get what I want."

2. To lead them into membership and service in the Christian Church.
3. To teach Christians Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible.

K. U. County Clubs To Give Programs At Home Chapels
Convocation Will be Held to Organize Groups Before Christmas Holidays
A general convocation for county clubs will be hold Friday, December 8, and will be conducted as the one last year. Announcement will be made on Friday, December 9, students from each county, and during convocation hour each county club will be organized. A list of student's from each county will be sent to last year's president or vice-president, and is as chairman of the meeting that day.
"K. U. Chapels" in high schools all over the state the week before Christmas, is the goal to be strenforced by county clubs which will be organized next week according to "Cap" Garvin, representing the Alumni Association, which is furthering the county club organization this year.
Student Councils Assist Garvin
Adaph Ripp from the Men's School Council, and Rebekah Leibengood from the W. S. G. AA have been chosen as student representatives to work with Mr. Garvin to work out general plans for the clubs.
"The Idea," explained Mr. Garvin,
"is to have students from K, U, who go home for the holidays, give talks about the University in special chapels in every high school possible in their county."
To give the students an idea of just how to conduct these chapels, Professor Shiml, of the department of public speaking, is coaching students in what will appear before county clubs, outline a brief program and show what a talk could be put over. Definite plans as to who will represent the clubs and where they will speak will worked out by each club individually.
"We believe the chapel plan in one of the best ways in which county clubs can advertise K. U. during the holidays," said Mr. Gavin. "It was tried in some schools last year and met with great success, and with special preparation before-hand, we look for even greater results.
Takes Bring Increase This Year
"For example, K.U. talks were made in Jowell County high schools last year from that county in the University this year, the number totaling thirty-seven. Another similar instance is Cherokee County, which has twenty-eight students now in the University. Considering the distances of those students to the university is a very creditable representation."
Instead of one general club for Missouri, it is planned to organize three clubs, one for Kansas City and immediate vicinity, one for St. Joseph and vicinity, and one for the rest of the state. Programs, with K. U. College students, are held in club in the various high schools, and the Alumni Association will furnish statistics, and will suggest subjects for talks to each club.
