Refugee Students Say They Are Most Fortunate Of All
The first two Hungarian students to arrive in the United States under the World University Service auspices are now living at Camp Kilmer, in New Brunswick, N. J.
News received today by The University Daily Kansan from the WUS gives an account of the two at a recent Hungarian fund rally at Columbia University.
The two who arrived in the United States Nov. 25, are not identified by their real names in order to avoid possible reprisals against their family and relatives still in Hungary. For the same reason, they have not been photographed.
Temporarily named "Istvan I" and "Istvan II", the two left Hungary Nov. 16, and went to Vienna where they were fed and housed in a special student camp set up and maintained by WUS's field operation in Austria.
Resettlement of the Istvans was arranged through the International Rescue Committee, which relies on WUS to provide students with scholarship opportunities for their future study.
At the Columbia University rally, the two Hungarians said, "Our people, who throughout history have been great freedom lovers, could
Are the cities of Kansas too conservative for their own good was the question asked the third Kansas Conference on Planning by the keynote speaker, Walter Blucher, consultant to the American Society of Planning Officials, Chicago.
City Planners End Meeting
the conference, which ended Wednesday, was held at the University and attended by about 100 state and city officials who are members of planning commissions.
Mr. Blucher urged conference members to ask themselves if they really have facilities to attract good industries. He noted that few, if any, Kansas cities had taken advantage of the federal funds available for cities under 25,000 population.
"If you don't make yourself suitable for a good industry," he warned "you may get a bad one — one that pays low wages or creates smoke or noise."

However, Dr. E. Gordon Erickson associate professor of sociology,said he believes industry must accept responsibility for becoming a part of the community.
The feelings of soldiers in their last moments and the hope of persons left behind was the interpretation of the figures on the Campanile's bronze doors given by Bernard (Poco) Frazier at a meeting of the Topeka Art Guild.
Frazier Interprets Campanile Doors
"This has been done at a dreadful sacrifice on our part—at the cost of the lives of many of our dear brothers and relatives.
Mr. Frazier, resident sculptor at the University, said, "Sculpture can make no small comment." He said most of the world's great sculpture has been a part of a building or monument rather than isolated in a museum or gallery.

YMCA-YWCA,Now KU-Y Got It's Start Back In 1882
In the fall of 1882, 14 years after the founding of the University, 10 students organized a Young Men's Christian Assn. to arouse interest in religious life on campus. The Young Women's Christian Assn. was organized in 1885.
During its 74-year span on the campus, the YMCA has broadened its scope, since its merger with the YW, has increased its membership to over 500 students.

the KU-Y commissions, jointly headed by one women's representative and one men's representative, are composed of working committees. They plan the all-membership meetings which include English-style debates, recreation, devotions, political discussions and social activities. For the last two years the KU-Y has sponsored a ski trip to Colorado between semesters. The organization also assists in the foreign student orientation in the fall, and sponsors the Rock Chalk Revue.
The KU-Y is now working to broaden the national YMCA purpose, "A common loyalty to Jesus Christ," so that the organization's purpose can be accepted by all students on campus:

Lets Put Christ Back Into Christmas
We CAN put Christ back into Christmas if we really try. It should be our purpose to make Christ the uppermost thought at this time of year. If each and everyone of us try to put Christ back into ourselves, Christ will surely get back into Christmas.
Is He still in Christmas? Is He there in the hurrying crowds? Or has the real reason for Christmas been slipped into the background?
If we succeed in doing this, even a little bit, we, as individuals will become much stronger in the fight against those forces which aim to put Christ not only out of Christmas but also out of our lives.
Yes, Christmas is all of these things. But most of all and most important, Christmas is Christ's birthday.
Christmas! What is it? Holly and tinsel and gayly wrapped packages. The light in a child's eyes as he sees the glittering tree. Santa and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

The Christ Child in His lowly manger crib at Bethlehem started it all - is the reason for it all.
