Index of Kansas Spirit Given to Europeans Through Student Contribution
"What does the Friendship Fund mean to the University of Kangas?" This question was asked John Blake chairman of the K. U. Friendship Fund association; he said, "It is much to this University as do our athletics or sports.
"Fund has jar more effect in that it is an index of the Kansas spirit to the students in Europe. We boost of our wonderful spirit, which we have a just right to do. But Kan- kansians need to maintain their friendships with those students of Europe if it is to be what it claims to be.
Tradition Part of Campus Life
"We cannot do it by giving Jas, the few pennies that happen to be in our hands at the time we pass the tables where the contributions are given us; in the way we give them we had better pass the table several times.
Tradition Fart of Campus Late "This University can be no stronger than its students. It is our privilege and our opportunity to say whether our University shall carry on with U. K. Christmas tradition a real part of the student life here. Each student individually has a responsibility in making this Friendship Fund truly representative of K. U.
Sacrifice to Give
"Many students are confused about the amount each individual should give to make the fund representative of the Kauaes spirit. We feel that this year it should be a dollar average. To some students this is a big difference, because the money so much. A pair of the large K, U, candies will be given to each 100 per cent group. In groups having less than five people and contributing 100 per cent, one large candle will be given. If this group gives more than ten dollars, it shall receive the two candles.
Cold Wave Hits Kansas

About three thousand five hundred directories were issued to students in former years when they were furnished free, but the fact that n direction systems have been installed year has limited the number of directories used by students.
Increase in Living Expenses Arouses British Commission
losing Battle Is Being Wages in England Against Rise in Food Costs
By Clifford L. Day
London, Dec. 10—Britain is eager a grim, losing battle against a steady, unpleasant rise in the price of food.
With an army of well over a million I unemployed swarming over the country, and with a wall for a cheaper dinner nail going up from hole nice enough to have jobs, the front face a winter of stench discount.
Broad promises to play a big part in the fate of Premier Stanley Baldwin's second Tory cabinet.
Even Labor itself, as represented by the preceding administration of Pamaya MacDonald, found it humanly impossible to stem the mounting tide of inflation. When Donald had already been in office for five months, the price of food still was 60 per cent above the pre-war level. By November, when Badwain returned to power, it had cried aloud that it could not be above the figure for Nov. 1, 1923.
Bread is blamed almost entirely for the recent leaps and bounds in the general rise. And the public has been further frightened by stories that the four-pound loaf will go to two sittings (about $84K) by Janet Dillen, a protec-tion that the world's wheat dilemma does not justify the scarcity.
During the month of October, done, the retail cost of food, rent, clothing, fuel, light and other items in the working man's budget bounded from that above pre-war to Food price, advanced seven points in October.
Despite the experts' feeling of comparative optimism, the price of a sack of flour went up 45 cents in London early in November, and the crying protest against a dearer load raiser.

Fleecing of India Continues Today, Says Sandhu,c'25
English and German Youth Movements Discussed
by Secretary of Y. M. C. A.
India is a "Golden Sparrow" relatedately robbed of its gold by successive European plumeroes, beginning as far back as the time of Alexander.
This statement was made by Bandy
Hirud Sandh, c25, speaking at the
1. Y. M. C. a.noon luncheon at Myers
hall today.
The last of the series of plunderers is England, whose tax assessments are so heavy that they do not leave money for themselves. He helps to support himself, Sandu said. Compared with a *per capita income* in India, his total income of India is $5.00.
India tree of history.
And India, which contains the whole history of philosophy in a nutshell, whose character has been largely formed by philosophy and religion, he continued, a land which has made great contributions to modern science, is spoken of by foreigners as a land of fortune tellers, snake charmers, and idolaters. Those who say this after a few years will find there to look for future tellers; and snake charmers, he said.
As a result of the oppression, he continued, more than twenty million persons died in India from famine in the 20 years before 1920.
Randhir Sandhi said the Ghanti movement was an outgrowth of the mistreatment India has suffered for so long; that the non-cooperation has been paved on leave to every human being in the teachings of Jesus.
Shuitz Speaks of Youth Movements
The subject of *Tel Shuitz*'s speech was "Youth Movement in Germany" and "Youth movement in England." Youth movement in England has underlined its surface a spiritual trend. The youth of England feel that it is England's moral duty to establish a youth movement, themselves and their colonies."
In Germany the Youth movements has created a revolt against oppression but has created a love of nature simplicity of life and a custom of hiking through the country singing folk songs.
A Youth movement cannot be taken from some other country and transplanted in another, it must be allowed any success, according to Mr. Shuits.
At the opening of the Luncheon this noon, Dick Hansen, c'26, president of the Y. M. C. A., announced that large certificates of membership were required for entry and might be obtained from Orville Walters, c'27. Hanson then turned the meeting over to the committee on World Fellowship, whose chair was Robert Rudolph, representatives of various foreign countries who were present to stand.
Students who wish to place gifts in the Christmas box which the Y. W. C. A. wishes annually to Tuscan, Arizona, still have time to do so, according to Mary Torrence, chairman of the Christmas box committee. The articles should be brought to Henley house before that time.
Donations Bill Received
"We are still short of gifts," said Mary Torrence, "and I do not think that everyone realizes how much we can take from the toy in an even food is acceptable. Instead of throwing away that old clothing, give it to someone who needs and who can use
Anything is acceptable, according to members of the committee. The enrollment of the school is large, and in order to facilitate distribution, parcels should be wrapped in white paper. The teachers are present for a boy or a girl.
Dalbert M. Mann, assistant professor in Sociology, and about thirty-five students of his criminology classes were shown through the state institutions at Lansing and Leavenworth yesterday, Dec. 16.
Christmas Box to Be Sent to Arizona Thursday
In the morning they went through the Kansas state pentimentary at Laming, and in the afternoon through the United States disciplinary barracks and the Federal pentimentary at Leavenworth.

Metropolitans Desire to Take Up Rural Life
I amct in today's stalign in Britain. The downward tide is ebbing. The swing of the pendulum is not a more exit of week-enders, but a bow of tourists who are drawn to rural occupations. And a lot of the "heeland" lads and lasses brought to the cities by wartime work in the factories and the army are getting better.
(Untied Press)
"The industrial exodus from the town is definite," says a report of the commission on development of village and rural life. "As more houses are built in the countryside its pace will increase."

Congress Opposes President's Policy on Navy Situation
Committee Continues Quiz of Secretary Wilbur Today, After
(United Press)
Protest
Washington, Dec. 17—Congress will not entirely fall in line with President Coolidge on his policy of discussion of investigations into the condition of the navy and comparison of its strength with navies of other countries.
Evidence of this was given today when the House naval affairs committee went ahead with its prearranged plan to question Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, as to whose fault any one's, anyone's, that the navy is low up.
Wilbur Appears Today
The committee summoned Wilbur last week to talk about the "lamentable" condition of the battle and auxiliary fleets. Meanwhile, the president let it be known that he opposed such inquiries. It was expected then that the House committee would call off its investigation, a staff of experts, however, appeared before the committee today.
The president deplores the encroachment of Congress and the people on the subject of the navy's condition. The president said that he satisfied that the navy is all right and the treaty ratio is being maintained and second, because foreign powers are looking at this country's allies with a good deal of unease.
President Avoids Trouble
The administration can sympathize with the attitude of foreign powers which sees the United States as the most powerful nation on earth, giving much of its time to the question of armaments. They have been before long another armenian race is under way with consequent war ahead.
The president wants ao avoid this

Director of Libraries Maker Answer About Suppression of Books
"We do not mean to ensure or censor the reading matter of the university student, as the editorial says we do. We protect those who really need the use of these books. The withdrawal of these volumes serves two purposes: the volumes and treasures decreed by the faculty are denied to students; and the authors itself from certain acts of cannonballism committed by those who do not appreciate the worth and the use of such works."
In reply to an editorial in the iet Oread magazine dealing with the suppression of certain books in Warton library from general circulation, Earl N. Manchester, director of libraries, said, "There are certain books that are not available use of the faculty and the graduate students."
"The so called 'secret' chamber contains about four hundred books whose subject matter is never used in undergraduate study. The volumes pertain to medical treaties, especially those dealing with rarities, and arabic and certain books on the annealization of art and painting.
The editorial asserts that a great injustice is done to those in the pursuit of culture. No doubt this is true, but those who are really intolerant will have no matter for these books, may obtain permission from me to use them.
"The principle of freedom of speech and of liberty to read is not consciously violated; only the right of the one-tenth who need the books to uphold," said Mr. Manchester. Wasson hall is called the precedent of all libraries in adopting this structure, which has been made than most libraries in the extent to which it lets circumits, the forbidden material.

Berlin Police in Graft
German Metropolis Excited Over Investigation
---
Berlin, Dec. 16—Graft in at least two important departments of the Berlin police is under official invasalization.
Dieslureses so far made have shocked the German metropolis, since men in high positions in the police had always been regarded as beyond the reach of bribes. The most sentimental of manners, the bureaucratic Bartere known as the "dictator of foreigners in Germany."
Bartle, it is charged, accepted bribery passively from "Gencarl" Holmkuhn, a Russian dealer in Japan, who was accused of the whole secluded leak out when another Russian revealed that Holkman had threatened him with espionage from Germany as a result of Holmkuhn's "good connection" with
Bartels had it in his power to leave permission to foreigners to remain in Germany, or he could arbitrarily refine such permits, whereupon the government would send many. A second case of graft was located in the lost and found section of the police department, where it developed that several trusted officers helped for themselves huge sums of money returned by honorable finders.
