Only three days more of study until Christmas.
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
A gain array of colored lights, bells, and timeless features of gray noisemitters, microwave and holly, of coasters, dolls, pongue and woolly lambs preclains that the holiday season is at hand.
Related shoppers jole and push through the crowds surrounding counters laden with childish toys. A little girl whose face is almost hidden in white fur confidently informs her mother that she wants a "mamma doll." Three small boys, their tattered sweaters hutched close around their masks, their face shines, are padded for a moment against the counter. One of them wieldily finger a penguen; another a set of tinketeys. Finally they deep them to pass cut, but look back gregetifully.
But everywhere in Christmas spirit in the alba—the spirit of tenderness, kindness and mercy. One is willing to forgive and realize that it is more blessed to give than to receive. It is the one time of all the year when we listen to the voice of the Christ child and try to follow in his footsteps. The burden is lifted from worry, thought, and love replace hate and hard feeling as we join in one song, "It is Christmas time."
No doubt Father and Mother, tuning in last night to station KFKU were "just cure they beared Johnnie" when the Rock Chalk was given.
"STRONGER THAN TREATIES"
The greatest benefit of the Student Friendship fund is the better international understanding which it promotes. The individual European student is helped by the small amount of direct relief or other assistance which he notes; and the American student is helped by being part of a great cause and by the feeling that he is doing something worthwhile. But these things in themselves are little.
When seen like Humbert Dure come and go between the nations, telling the students of one country about the work and hopes of the students of another nation, international good will is strengthened in a way which is much stronger than any world court or league. The leagues and courts are the machinery, but they are useless without the understanding which should be their foundation.
The students now in the University of Kangas will be lenders of American thought, some of them, in a decade or two; and the students now in the University of Prague will fulfill the same place in Europe. We here in the United States are likely to think of European students as "an lot of wild-cycad radicals" who, if we aid in their education, are likely to come to the United States to upset our government. We forget that Charles P. Steinmetz, the famous electrical engineer who died recently after giving untold benefits to both scientific research and practical applications of research, was a Socialist, one of the radicals. Yet he is revered and loved by all who knew him as one of the kindest men. He is one of the rare sort of people who are students in Europe now.
Reading about conditions in Europe leaves us with little actual knowledge of affairs there. It is hard for us to realize conditions, to make them real to ourselves, from the printed paper. There is something about the spoken word and the per-
ownality of a speaker which improves us. And our fellow students in Europe are impressed by the same measure. If the Student Friendship fund has done nothing else, it has brought about a little better contact with that other follow and a little better knowledge of him.
ELUSIVE BOOKS
Why keep so many perfectly good heals hidden in the old library? Pindles approach, reference readings pile up, term reports are done, and it grows increasingly difficult to prepare the desired tests. The student asks for a book only to be told, many times that it has not yet been moved over from Sonnerie. Is this fair to the student?
Instructors are partly to blame in the eater. It is no more than just that, when residences are assigned, they take the trouble to determine whether the book is obtainable or not. The average student can hardly sure the time to hunt for a book which is not even accessible.
The Christmas holiday would be an excellent time to finish moving the books over to their new homes. Perhaps a step is planned. It would be a joyful feeling for students, if upon returning to their studies, they experienced but little difficulty in location assigned texts. Even the thought is encouraging.
LODGE AND COMPERS
How alike and yet how different were the two national leaders whom death has recently taken from me—Henry Carlyle Lodge, the leader of the most conservative element in our population, and Samuel Gompers, whose followers are called "radical" by the disciples of the late New England senator.
Bith of these men were conservative, comparatively speaking, because among the opinion groups to which they gave their respective allegiences each was admitted because of his age and experience but was considered as being too much bound by the past. Between the two kinds of conservation there lay, however, a great gulf.
Senator Lodge, with his anecdysis as well as his accomplishments to give him eminence, was a different type of leader from Gampers, with his own actions as his only spokesman. Lodge was the irreconcilable. His way was the right way, and others could follow it if they chose. Gampers was the arbitrator. His way was the way which he believed would bring the greatest harmony among the factions within his organization.
In spite of the divergence of their views and methods, Lodge and Gopper both won and held the respect of the whole nation, not because of their views and methods, but because they held steadfastly to principles of what they believed to be right. We may disapprove of a man's opinions, but when we find that he believes them to be right and that he stands by them honestly and faithfully, we cannot help admiring him.
"Better late than never," sighed Tempus Fugite, the Hill's busiest student, as he arrived fifteen minutes late for the regular 9:30 class on convection morning.
"Movie Actress Refuses to Comment on Her Purported Engagement," says a headline. Why should the comment on her press agent does enough talking for two?
Tis evening, and the sky is flashed with ceddent tint. The sun is set, Thoumk will with the light of dog does seem to longer last with deep repreet. You distint, cold, blue mountain peaks are in deep scoured green coloured veins. There stillswers holds dominion; now, And high above a hare bird nails. Tis nightlight, the encaeon sky Is flerked with clouds of snowie ice An evern breeze stirs through the trees.
THE END OF DAY
Then leaves the world in quiet peace
The veils at last become a chord
When daylight takes its parting
1108.
The stars in heaven take their place And twilight then gives way to night.
