Radio Fans Send Favorable Reports of Test Program
Communications Are More Numerous Than Before and Cover Wider Territory
Response on the radio test program broadcast from Station KFKU TKU Tuesday night was very favorable, John F. Pattu, announcer and assistant program director, said yesterday. From the number of telegrams and long distance telephone calls received during the program, and the number of letters which have been poured into the computer system, it is since the program, it may be indicated that the test was a distinct success.
"The communications were greater in number than those on any other program this year and were from a wider range of territory. More than half of the population included Wyoming, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Minnesota, Connecticut, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Colorado, and Ohio, were heard from, and it is probable that other mail received from many other states." Patt said.
Nine Telegrams Received
"We received nine telegrams during the program from Texas alone, six being from different towns," he said. "We have reason to expect, from past experience, that we shall receive letters from Mexico, Cuba and other countries." We may not bring communications from those countries for several days yet."
"The time of broadcasting seemed to be particularly satisfactory for the presentation of the program," the announcer said. "We were stationed in stations of the country are on the same wave length as Station KFKU, 275 meters, and that for reason broadcasting on that wave length at 7 o'clock has been possible." The parts of the country by other stations operating at the same time.
Many complimentary remarks on the musical numbers given by Tomnie Johnson and his K. U. Serenaders and Don Edwards, ukelele player, and the Radio Three (Pete, Virge and Freddie) have been contained in communications sent in by the listeners. A good many of them said they enunciated "Six" from their programs and the late hour of broadcasting. The program started at 10 p. m., and lasted more than an hour and a half.
Fans Enjoy Informality
The listeners seemed to enjoy the informality which ran through the entire program, and the players and audience were accustomed to reception accorded them by distance listeners as well as local followers. Repartee over the microphone to the telegrams and telephone calls for feedback and a rest period for the performers.

All of the telegrams and telephone calls which came in the night of the broadcasting were given to the participants.

Christmas Candle Sale for Friendship Fund Will Begin Tomorrow
Money Obtained Will Be Used to Establish Scholarships
for Foreigners
The traditional sale of the Friendship fund candles starts tomorrow morning. A number of tables will be placed in the various buildings on the Hill and at each table will be Jay Candles, a brand of the sale of the Christmas candles.
Contributions of any size are welcome and with each gift, no matter what the size, will be given one of the Christmas candles. In the previous years the average size of the contributions has been about a dollar, and we know that they will be larger. The gifts larger from a quarter to ten dollars.
The sale of the friendship candies will be held Tuesday and Wednesday. The tables for the sales will be placed in Fraser hall, Green hall, Snow hall, central, east, and west Administration buildings, Marvin hall and the geology building.
The money obtained from the sale of the candies this year is to go to the establishment of scholarships for one or more worthy and needy students at the University of Kansas. The funds been sent to the International Student Friendship Fund, for the relief of foreign students from hardships and privation. As the conditions have been bettered this year it is thought that the fund will be better for the fund to be given to a scholarship at the University.
Suggestions are welcome by the Christmas committee as to where and how the students will be secured; and it is hoped that valuable suggestions from our staff can be given to give the scholarships to students from some foreign country not represented in the University at present. By doing this the University of Kansas will secure a widespread reputation for the institutions offered higher learning.
Dr. Charles Hurry will meet with the executive committee this afternoon to discuss the project and to consider specific plans for the securing of the foreign students. Doctor Hairt Kim, a former head of relations among foreign students, is in a position to know how students can be secured.

Extract from book, "The Re-
building of Europe," mentioned by
Doctor Hurry at convoction this
morning, which describes to
the whole world the brittle
university at the University
of Kansas.
"Seen: A frosty, starlit night in the middle West of America. A crowd of white-robed women and gowned men singing Christmas carols on the campus of the University of Kansas. Under the pine tree the Altar of unity stands, as yet unfit. The tree is a blaze of candlelight, and a candle shines, too, in thousands of windows. They are all Friends candles, sold by the Kansas University students for foreign students. The great moment comes when the Chancellor of the University receives the $1000 thus raised, and gives them to the candlecandles on the altar. The crowd moves off to scramble the windows where the friendship candles burn. This imaginative ceremony has become the Christmas tradition at Kansas University, a bismol shines across as well as campus."

It was popular during the Civil War period, and the dramatic club plans to produce it with the scenery, costumes, and acting of that period as nearly as possible. According to Professor Crafton, the play is one of the typical melodramas popular at the time, with situations with the typical heroes, heroines, villains, and comic characters enter into the plot of the play.

The greatest challenge for discussion is to regard to the extent of participation on the Court. Many of the delegates feared the League nations, but the majority of them unenticedly favored the Harding-Hughes-Coolidge terms, while several frangially opposed the firm plan and gains little support.
In the evening the results of the national poll of the question conducted by the New Student were announced and showed that entrant to the Court carried by 109,000.

Men's Student Council Will Start Campaign Against Snow Checks
"Insufficient" and "No-Account"
Written on 225 Checks
in Past Month
Two hundred and twenty-five students of the University have written insufficient or no-account checks on James Jarboe's account. The was announced Saturday by James Jarboe, e28, chairman of the Men's Student Council "snow" check com-
This statement was made after a check-up of the Business Men's Credit Association and Lawrence merchant's office, both of which submitted the committee. The list secured is not complete, but it represents a large number of students whose funds were not sufficient to cover the amounts for which cheques were written.
Of this number, 34 youths are charged with having written checks on banks in which they have no account. Amounts overchecked range from 50 cents to $200. One prominent student is Teresa Broussard, for which he has no funds; another has eight, aggregating $169.35; and a third has written 12 "snow" checks for a total of $140.51. Freshmen and upperclassmen, fraternity and non-fraternity men, sorority and non-sorority men, have been found to be violators of the banking rules. The obscure student, politicians, class officers, athletes, and youths prominent in student activities, are all represented on the list. One freshman is charged with 16 "snow" checks, totaling $101.80.
The women are not as frequent vii-viators as are the men, it is shown in the report tabulated by Jarbco. The names of 42 University women are on the list, but their accounts are not overdrawn to an extreme extent.
The Men's Student Council will begin its campaign this week to stop activities of the chronic writers of "snow" checks.
"We do not intend to inflict punishment in cases of oversight where a student's account is overdrawn by only a small amount, but we will take action in instances of serious overreactions." The student was stated by Paul Riemienski, president. "It is perfectly evident that it is not a mere mistake when a student overchecks an amount of $120, or writes a check on a bank in which he keeps all the money the council will endorse with the merchant in presenting such violators."

See Unfavorable Side
Mr. Hurry and that we so often see the unfavorable side of other nations and fail to realize in our thinking that such differences made to the world's life and pay tribute to the outstanding leaders of other nations because of whom our people have been.
He referred to a book "The Re-building of Europe" by Ruth Rose, which is being read throughout the student movement of the world, in which a brief account of the University Kansas Friendship Fund is given.
