From the Point of View of the student, the following information is provided: MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1925 OUR CHRISTMAS TREE This week the Christmas spirit rules the curriculum. Yesterday the musical wears with a Christmas tableau, rubbed in the Christmas season on the floor. This morning a conversation comes forwards the feeling of good will that always precedes the holiday celebration of the students. Then Tuesday and Wednesday we shall have an opportunity, as has been traditional on the Hill, to show our Christmas spirit and feeling by the purchase of Christmas envelopes. The reason from this year will be must for promoting friendship and goodwill by the establishment of embodies here for foreign students. In the past the process from the sale of the envelops has been given to the International Friendship fund for the relief of multitude foreign students. This was vigorous and faraway. Contributions of considerable amounts of money have been made in the spirit of the season demand, but the students were beginning to wonder what their money was doing. Every-night lies in his money work. This feeling has been appreciated this year by those who serve on the Christian trust committee, and out of duty to the foreign embassies. The foreign mandates will come to Kauai, single with us, learn from us and teach us, and there will be an intermixing of their ideas and ideals with our own. This is the road way to create the international friendship and goodwill which he so much talked of, but he has for the minds of most of us to group together it in part into practical tasks such as these. Our oural and political ideas, our foreign business interests and bases have cut us apart from many of the foreign countries. If we are to come back to a bead of good feeling with them it must be through the youth of our millions. Our Christmas tree universities will help to form that bond. This is an understaking of unnatural worth. Every student ought to take advantage of his opportunity to aid in a practical way in reexposing what he know the point of discussion in our own and almost every other national congregation-international friendship. When the Christmas tree is lighted on Mount Olentang Thursday evening will its blinding carolies carry to your heart a feeling of satisfaction in the knowledge that you have played a part in spreading and promoting Christmas cheer? AFTER THE FACTS Simultaneously with the statement-founded by Justice Richard J. Hopkins that he never received "one solitary card for my" services given the Kansas branch of the Anti-Slavery League, comes the announcement from Gov. Ben S. Dunleigh demanding a thorough investigation of the langer. His further demands that a full public statement be made of the affair of the langer and the conduct of its officials. The Governor believes that the people should know the facts in the case, and so he is demanding a through investigation. Fred L. Crabb, former superintendent of the league, has been accused of using the funds for contributions to Hopkinton' campaign and to of that of Charles R. Griffith, attorney-general, and also for the payment of printing bills. John U. Schuible, for six weeks as superintendent of the league, brought up most of the accusations following the election of the Rev. J. A. McChelland to the position of superintendent. Something is wrong. Position "mind shifting" is being recorded to, or else there has been serious misuse of the funds. The public has right to the real condition of affairs. Surely an investigation will bring to light the truth. Certainly a body that has rendered coeficient service to the people of Kuwait in the matter of dry haw enforcement, will not permit a cloud of suspicion to rest over it. Even if can or two members have misused funds, there is no reason for the people to lost faith in the league, doubt its identity of purpose, or its ability to help relieve prohibition. RAZZBERRY WALK Razzberry walk might well be the name of the walk in front of Green Hall. The student body passes in review before the critical crowd on the steps of the School of Law building. Before classes in the morning and at noon, and between classes, the future judges gather on the law steps for a little fresh air, a smoke, and incidentally to see what is happening. Greetings to passing students turn to critical retorts, and then to muz. This is true whenever someone passes with a new color combination in dress or a new style coat. Women carry the brunt of the verbal attack of the fiery-tongued cowboy hawkeye. Witty remarks are followed by shouts and "hay-hayes" from the crowd. Escape is impossible when the fredie is in swolling. On occassion stunts are played. Perhaps a tiny wooden snake caked on the adwelling an if to strike upon the woman who pass. A great polish solder. Perhaps a freshman refrain to tip his bat to the crowd. Cries of disapproval arise and perhaps the freshman is padded. Perhaps some drops a book. Always the same discourses shout and laugh响. Perhaps the young hawkeye uses the fresh air between chasers. Perhaps they want to smoke. They have a right to stand on the steps of the building, but the razz is not justified and in hardie courts. Mae who are seen to disperse practice in the world should begin to practice the golden rule. They should begin to set an example for the young students to follow. The school does not like the critical attitude of the law students and the wiz. It is time for a change. THE NEW YORK THEATER SITUATION Lawrence is not the only place which has its theater troubles. New York this week is buzzing with excitement following the rumor of war between the motion picture interests and the managers of the legitimate stage productions. It seems that Mr. Fox, of Hollywood, has offered to finance several broadway producers in their productions. Rummer says that to five of the most prominent of the New York producers this proposal was made, although the Fox Company's manager denied to say. The offer has been interpreted by leading authors as a means of bringing the legitimate stage under the domination and control of the motion pictures. Consequently 47 dramatists met with the officers of the Actors' Equity Association to see what could be done. Statements given out after the meeting implied that there were several legal taintings to be settled before any definite action could be taken, and that they hoped to gain their ends by publicity. Some of the most prominent of the modern playwriters have signified an intention to cause writing for the stage unless the dispute is settled in a way satisfactory to them. The general opinion seems to be that there are three ways of combating the motion picture industries. The first is by joining the Actors' Equity Association, which numbers 100,000 members, or 98 per cent of the actor population. This would end joining the American Federation of Labor. The second motus is by uniting in some undefined way with the Equity without joining the Fed. eration. The third means would be boycott. Whatever the outcome the opinion has been expressed by many influential men whose knowledge of the theater is of long standing and great worth, that the settlement of the conflict will forecast the future of the American stage. At the Concert --production of By Ruth Lawless The second all-national vespers by the School of Fine Arts Sunday afternoon was a satisfying embodiment of the spirit of Christmas in its religious aspect. Musical numbers and (tubular) chanty diversity of moods composed the program. "Ave Maris," by Bach-Goodnied vowed with Fillippe's "Adoration" for exquisite beauty of melody and acumen of feeling as the most charming collection of an ensemble of strings with piano and organ. The University Vesper Chorus was most plenious in playing with the organ, soundscoring,录音效果 and ascending rhythms were as interesting as the were appealing. Miss Minna Dorn achieved the full possibilities of her gorgeous voice in Lehmann's "No Candle Was There and No Fire." She seemed to put more of herself into her singing than usual. The processional and recessional chorus, with its tall lined tinted walls and white veetments, were of effective simplicity. The tableaux, which are an innovation in the Christmas Vespers, each supplemented the theme or story of the musical number just preceding it. The Shepherd's Bush choir played nicely with the Star of the East hung low, and "The Adoration," with a saffron colored light illuminating the group surrounding the Christ child were the most striking. The fact that over three hundred spectators occupied standing room throughout the program bears witness to the fact that the Christmas Vespers were a vital tradition on the campus. Prof. H, P. Cary of the department of chemistry lectured at points in southeastern Kansas last week. His address on "Liquid Air" was delivered Thursday at McCane and Friday at Buffalo. Both of the lectures were a part of the lyceum courses in the two towns. There will be a meeting of Tau Sigma at 4:30 Tuesday. BETTY STIMPSON.

"Oh, nothin' much—he just drifted down into the room of a couple of wrestlers and naked them, to please him when they met him in public." "The light's out—and the stove's cut-" the vocal student told himself as he closed the door of his room to go to a dramatic club rehearsal. "Yes—and now thank, goodness! you're out," added the engineering student who roomed across the hall In a story forecasting the Monday conversation, a news I student wrote the following: "Vocal Christmas will be sung by both Glee Clubs." Excuses are good, but the power of suggestion in not to be sneezed at. A student who is habitually late had been jacked up for his tardiness. The following morning he arrived 10 minutes late as usual, seated himself hastily, and nonchalantly commenced picking his teeth. Tongue sweed to ton, bellows effect. It's a real bug, hot money.
