CHINESE U. STUDENTS HELP FAMINE VICTIMS
Leave Colleges to Assist in Rescue Work—Deny Selves

One Dollar Will Keep One Chinese Alive Whole
What the war did to the universities and colleges in this country and in England, the present great famine is doing to those in China. The students are foraking their classrooms in response to a call of need.
In other institutions, where some students still remain, they are dividing their food with the starving folk and giving it to them on plan. "Your instinct to save" plan.
Several of the Chinese colleges already have closed, and the students have gone to the strictest districts in the quickly mobilized army of relief workers through whose efforts many among the millions left defended flood and drought are being kept rushed in from the artiste world.
Before the call for men and women willing to endure hardship and hard work in famine relief became urgent, the 800 students of the University of Nanking petitioned the authorities of that institution to reduce the amount of food served at the student tables in order that what should be saved might be sent to the famine victims.
Everywhere Chinese students are throwing themselves into the organized effort to save their starving countrymen. In Soochow University Number Three, a much smaller institution than the U. of N., they saved $120 in a month from saving their dhabs. Many of these students are now in the famine provinces busy with the tremendous work of distribution.
In this country, contributions are now being received from the universities and colleges by the American women college treasurer is Vernon Munroe, Bible House, New York City; and in several institutions the adoption of the "stin yourself to save" idea, box 18, University of N., is helping to swell the fund.
No contribution is too small to be welcomed by the relief organizations—and one is too large. For three cents, a famine victim, man, woman or child, can be supplied with food sufficient for a day; $1 will keep one

ARE ATHLETES MERE CHATTELS?
This is not a campaign of trivialities. The student voter in the 1921 election is not deeply interested in the "good-fellow" type of political propaganda. The day of trite political arguments in the history of the University of Kansas belongs to a less-enlightened age of collegiate advancement.
The supporters of the GET IT DONE ticket are not presenting their candidates to the student body simply because these candidates are the type of men that should be honored. These candidates have been chosen for their worth—for their ability to fill the positions for which they are candidates. Addison R. Massey was chosen as the candidate for president because of his executive ability, his ability to deal with big matters in a sane manner, and because his presidency will not deteriorate from the Council's stability and reputation.
"Ah," the opposition replies, "they are athletes, and 'Phog' doesn't want athletes mixed up in politics."
BUT ARE THEY RIGHT?
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics, and Karl Schlademann, track coach, yesterday stated without reserve that THEY WERE NOT OPPOSED TO THE PARTICIPATION OF ATHLETES IN SPRING ELECTIONS. Both of them have given their consent to the publication of the above statement. Any argument promulgated to the contrary is clearly without substantiation.
Those who believe in the qualities of the GET IT DONE candidates are not pushing the names on the voting students because they are nice boys who "hate to talk about themselves." Some of them may be "fat and jovial," and some of them may have "red hair." They are all "ardent football fans." But the GET IT DONE ticket does not believe that such trivialities are sufficient grounds upon which to base the issues of a Student Council election.
Conditions are seldom perfect in any great educational institution. But would it not be a sad day when the man who upholds the school's honor on the athletic field is denied the honor of participation in the administration of student government? ARE ATHLETES MERE CHATTELS, WHO SWEAT AND SLAVE FOR THEIR ALMA MATER, OR ARE THEY HUMAN BEINGS, APPRECIATIVE OF HONOR WHEN IT IS BESTOWED UPON THEM?
There is only one answer. It is the answer of the students of the University of Kansas, who will speak in a loud voice Thursday.
GET IT DONE!
