DUPRE MAKES APPEAL FOR A NEW IDEALISM
Student Relief Worker Pleads for Mutual Understanding Between All Races
MISERY IS EVERYWHERE
University Facilities Are Intadequate and School Life Means Much Suffering
"Until mutual understanding and a new basis of idealism become realities there is not much hope for the world," said Haitien Dupre, head of the Student Relief work in Prague at the meeting held last night in Myerzeburg. "The time you would understand more perfectly the oneness of the human race and their mutual interdependence on one another. There are tremendous stumbling blocks in way to see that racial prejudice, ignorance, isolation, self.accompliance, self satisfaction, materialism. I have been able to discover among people in America who should be thinking."
In speaking of European conditions as he observed them in his work in Praegue, Mr. Dupré said, "I want to tell you first of economic conditions in Europe. No student should be ignorant of the world's devonance on the peoples of southern and southwestern Europe and of the Orient. It arose in a problem of their disbandment, but we cannot win the war, but we cannot when it comes home to us as hard times. Europe cannot buy our food because they have no money. Millions of men, the hope of Europe, have seen killed; old nations are struggling with new political institutions and now nations with the establishment of some form of government; exchanges fluctuate daily and commerce cannot go on so the cost of living is enormously high and countries have lost their credit. We cannot leave our hands of"
He then gave a short resume of conditions in the various countries, calling Russia "in the throses of her time communistic nightmare" and Poland than a state which could conceivably be worse.
he said. He read an excerpt from a letter received recently from one of his fellow workers in Praxis, who said:
"The world is marking time now for a new generation of leadership to restore it and you and your fellow citizens to work together, those for whom they are apologizing."
"Let the student imagine if he can the life of a refugee student in Prang who goes cold and hungry throughout the day to his work in the university and at night returns to his home. I will write about prison where he cannot read nor write, he can only think. And this is the worst of all, for what can he think about except questions such as these—where is my family now? have you to eat or are they? have you still to eat? have not what has happened to them and how did it happen? what is my country doing now? can I ever return to my country and will it be free and independent or will will control it?"

DeMolay Dance Dec. 17 Opens Membership Dri
Lawrence Chapter No. 2, Order of De Moly, will have a membership dance on Saturday, December 17. This dance will open the annual membership drive of the order. This year the drive will have a two-fold purse. Not only will you an effort be made to get new members, but an effort to get older members and other chapters who are attending K. U.
UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN HAVE POOR PHYSIQUE
The dance will be open to all De Molays and their friends. The only restrictions put upon attendance are that till non-members go with some DeMoiya and that they be under 21 years of age. Good fellowship will characterize this dance as well as the entire campaign which is to follow.
Nearly Every Student Has One or More Defects That Need Correction
"The Physical Status of Men Entering the University," was the subject of Dr. James Naismith's talk before the members of the department of education, their wives and the graduate students of the department Monday evening at the home of Dean and Mrs. R. A. Kent.
Doctor Naisimith took up the subject from three standpoints, the physique, the medical or abnormal condition, and the athletic ability of the freshman.
"In this year's class a chart is arranged and it was found there are 84 short men or under 64 inches, 42 medium short or under 60 inches, 30 medium tall or under 70 inches, and 125 tall. In size there 131 small men, 100 medium and 104 large. In symmetry there are 171 regular, 185 irregular and 119 very irregular. From this it may be seen that the majority of the cases are either above or below average," said Doctor Nail smith.
In regard to the abnormal condition nearly every student has one or more defects that need correction, these defects would remedy these defects.
About 82 per cent of the men are under normal in their ability to handle themselves by the arms and 88 per cent over average in chinning exercises. Many students are exerting force in athletic ability. Five individuals will not jump there and a half feet and fifty-six could not vault five feet.
THEATRE COMPANY TO LEAVE
Doctor Naismith concluded, "The problem of teachers, then, is to may steer attention to the physical deeds required while in Junior High School is the period to establish good physique. Some method should be arranged to develop the upper part of the body which this vital part is so imperfect."
Two New Members Chosen to Fill Vacancies
The Little Theater Company will leave the latter part of the week on a tour of the Southwestern part of the state.
Two new members, Miss Elizabeth Dunkle and Miss Lois Forganhave been chosen to fill the vacancies as a member of the faculty of former members of the cast.
The company has a repertoire of three one-act plays: "A Picked Up Dinner," "Bills," and "Suppressed Desires." Howard Haines, entertainer will present specialties between acts.
For the students who are stayin-
over, and the ones living at Kansas
City, there will be a "College Dance"
given at Dexel Hall, Kansas City,
Mo., December 29. The music will be
furnished by Hem's six piece or-

IS TOMORROW NIGHT

CANDLES ON SALE TODAY
"Three Wise Men" Will Present the Kansas Friendship
Fund
K. U's first Christmas Tree Program will take place tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock around the big pine tree just northwest of Blake Hall.
A short but impressive ceremony has been planned by the program committee. Most of the details of the ceremony are being kept secret, the committee feeling that surprises will be delivered to the students but a few details have been learned. Chancellor Lindley will dedicate the tradition to the University. Representative senior men, as the "Three Wise Men", will present the Kansas Friendship Fund. The senior women are also to have a part in the pro-activity, to be sing at the ceremony by both the club clubs and the band will play.
"We are trying to make the program for K. U.'s first all-university Christmas tree so worth while that every student in the University will be able to attend. We are sie Martindale, chairman of the program committee, this morning.
"We hope that all organizations will adjust their Christmas festivities in accordance with the program set by our host town on Friday night," Miss Martindale added.
"The tree will have the grey and festive appearance of the old-time树 that usually calls to mind a jolly cheer. The girls' cheer. Its buggles will be covered with snow, tinsel, and the regular Christmas Tree accoutrements, and will be topped off by a huge star, or a snowman," said Irwin Stuargard this morning.
In speaking of the sale of candies "Billy" Engle said that several organizations had already bought their products. She and she have said that therails will be bought soon.

Thursday there will be candle booths in Fraser and East Administration and Thursday night on the Fraser steps candles will be sold at the time of the Christmas tree ceremony, in order that townpeople and late students may have a chance to buy them.
Many buyers of candies have increased their contributions since the first buying, according to the candle committee. "No one could hear the story told by Mr. Dupré Tuesday," he said. "That is no contribution. There is no need in America in any way comparable to the need in Europe," said Dean Dyer.
WRESTLING FINALS TONIGHT
Five Big Bouts Are Going to be
Staged
The finals of the wrestling matches will be run off this evening at Robinson Gymnasium at 8 o'clock. These tournaments have been going on for the last few weeks and all men are in the best of condition for their matches, according to Instructor Patrick who will referee the matches.
Five matches will be staged representing five different classes. Stauffer and Stough have reached the finals in the light weights. This concludes a series of 125 pounds. Stauffer is in reality a featherweight, but having no competition in that class has reached the finals in both the light and welter weight classes. Stauffer and Kinehart will take the mat to decide the lightweight championship which includes many weighing from 125 to 145 pounds.
Webring and Lowry have both reached the finals in the middle weight class. This class ranges from 150 to 175 pounds, and weight championship rests between Sparrowhawk and Hicks who weigh between 158 and 175 pounds.

K. U. Commons to Close During Xmas Vacation
The K. U. Commons will not be open during the Christmas vacation period, Miss Barrum, manager, announced this morning. Commencing with breakfast Saturday, December 17, and continuing until Sunday dinner, January 1, the cafeteria will be closed.
The management found it impossible to remain open during the Thanksgiving vacation, due to the fact that the steam had been shut off and the building was not wish to have the same situation come up again. The number of patients who will remain in Lawrence over this period are so few that it would not pay to remain open. Miss Dawson would be happy that they may enjoy their Christmas vacation the same as the other students of the University.
FAST BOUTS FEATURE BOXING TOURNAMENT
Abella, Craven, Keiper, Mimer Strain, McKee and Spurgeon Winners in Finals
A crowd estimated at over five hundred gathered in the Gymnasium to witness the finals. Grisell and Abella of the bantam weight class were watched by raisons. Very evenly matched, they ran on a tight bout. The decision was awarded to Abella on account of generalgressiveness and a little better style of fighting. Strain furnished the surprise of the evening when he deceived Koefe in a hotly contested bout, that went four rounds for the decision.
“If I had to make very many decisions as close as this one I'd soon, have nervous prostration,” remarked Rev. M. E. Blackman after one of the final bouts at the boxing tournament in 1982, when he described the majority of the bouts.
Spurgeon was seen in action in the ring last night for the first time by a number of fans. The big boy showed one continual flash of speed and offense. His opponent failed to answer the bell for the third time.
The champions of the various weights, as decided in the final bout are: bantam, Abella; feather, Craven; light, Kieper; waiver, Miner; middle, Strain; light heavy, McKeen; heavy evening occurred when Allison in his bout with McKeen, twisted his in-knock and was forced to take the count.
Before the bouts the "Fighting Parson" made a plea for boxing by giving a little history of the ring game. He stated that boxing rules are being improved greatly at the present time, especially the old Marquis of Queensbury rules. Reverend Jons considers boxing one of the best fights of athletes at standpoint of sportsmanship as well as exercise. "The reason boxing has fallen into disrepute is because "scrupulous graffers who exploited the sport for their own profit," he said. "To me it is not nearly as brutal and is fully as thrilling a sport as football."
