'I Saw Smoke'
It hadn't happened to them in their own countries, but it did in Lawrence Sunday night. A fire threatened their home at 1200 Ohio.
Rosa Vargas-Arandia, a grduate student from Bolivia, and Adako DeVargas, a graduate student from Japan, are exchange students.
Mrs. DeVargas had just come home from studying at Watson Library.
"I saw smoke. In just a minute the whole room was full of smoke," she said.
The landlady, Mrs. Cora Ashton, was in the living room writing letters. She called the fire department. Miss Vargas-Arandia was upstairs studying.
The living room floor in front of the fireplace began to burn and smoke seeped into every corner. Smoke filled the house and poured out the front door and windows.
The firemen brought in hoses, axes and an electric saw. After 45 minutes, they cut out the floor in front of the fireplace. Confined
to the living room, the fire charred the floor beams under the floor. There was no basement under the living room.
The three women took refuge in the kitchen. Neighbors came in to help clear dining room furniture from the fire while a crowd gathered outside.
The firemen could not estimate the damage done to the living room. Water spattered the wall paper and smoke soaked the wine-colored drapes.
Mrs. Ashton said the gas pressure was low Sunday morning and she built a fire in the fireplace with petroleum coke and 6-inch diameter logs. She had moved into the house in 1905 and had always thought her fireplace was the safest in the world, she said.
"This is the first fire I ever had," she lamented.
Debaters Sweep Field; Win First At Winfield
The University debate squad swept a field of 47 schools from 11 states to take first place in the junior division of the Southwestern debate tournament at Winfield Saturday.
Miss Vargas-Arandia is studying Spanish at KU. Mrs. DeVargas is studying occupational therapy, and her husband is studying civil engineering at Kansas State College.
William Summers, Wichita sophmore, and Ray Nichols, Lawrence freshman, won all five of their contests on the national debate topic: "Resolved, that the U.S. should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries." This is the third time in four years that the University has won this trophy. Kenneth Irby, Ft. Scott, and Abraham Gorelick, Kansas City, Kan., both juniors, won the junior division debate two years ago.
Appearing in his first tournament, Orly Allen, Lawrence freshman, was the sensation of the two-day meet. Although his team partner was ill, Allen went to Winfield as an observer. Debate coach Kim Giffin, associate professor of speech and drama, arranged for Allen to debate for practice purposes only. A debate partner was found, equally inexperienced in tournament debating, and he and Allen surprised all contestants by winning four of the five debates they entered. Unfortunately, the pair could not be officially rewarded, but Mr. Giffin said all the schools were impressed with his dark horse entry and that it would be some time before the squad would forget the incident.
Others competing in the junior division were Neal Hogan, Garder City sophomore, and Bill Sheldon Salina freshman, who won three and lost two. Three teams competed in the senior division: Ralph Seger, Topeka junior, and John Knightly, Hutchinson senior, won three and lost two. Bill Hagman, Pittsburgh senior and Scott Stanley, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, won two and lost three. Abraham Gorelick, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and Jim Riley, Ottawa junior, won three and lost two.
FRANKLIN D. MURPHY Chancellor.
I hope therefore that again this year, as in the past, students of the University of Kansas will think a moment and give a little to make Christmas richer for some Kansas child."
"The time of year has again arrived for my annual call for University support for the March of Toys.
Murphy's Letter Pleads For Tots
The response of an underprivileged child to the unexpected gift of a toy is so heartwarming and so out of proportion to the real value of the gift that there is almost no other way in which the Christmas spirit can be more fully expressed.
CCUN Sets Suez Parley
"Suez Crisis still unsolved" will be the topic of a panel discussion of students and a British vice-consul at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Jayhawk Room of the Student Union.
"The Collegiate Council for the United Nation's second panel discussion on the Suez problem is planned because the problem is yet to be solved and the interest among the students is still high," said Judith J. Tice, Summerfield senior and the president of CCUN.
On the panel will be Mohammed I. Kazem, Cairo, Egypt, graduate student, Henry Luft, Tel Aviv, Israel, senior, and R. H. Newall, vice-consul at the British Consultate, Kansas City, Mo. Pierre Bonnaua, Feiletin France, and Fuad Baali, Baghdad Iraq, both graduate students, will answer questions concerning their countries' stand
Indian Evening To Be Friday
The main feature will be four short films: "Mysore." "Taj Mahal." "Dances of India" and "Melody of Hindustan." The first two are in color. "Mysore" will feature one of the most industrialized regions of India which is also a tourist attraction. "Taj Mahal" is a film of the famous Mosque at Agra.
Other features include a costume parade and a demonstration of the religious function "Raksha Bandhan" in which brothers and sisters exchange mutual good will on the Hindu festive occasion in the springtime.
An Indian Evening, the fourth of the series of the International Club's "Introducing the World" program, will be held at 8 p.m. Friday at the Wesley Foundation.
A number of group folk dances and solo classical dances will be presented. Indian songs will be sung.

Two Have Sculptures In Touring Art Show
Bernard "Poco" Frazier, sculptor-in-residence, is represented in the show by a wounded falcon made from clay. The exhibit was selected from art pieces previously accepted for the biennial 19th National Ceramic Show which just closed at the Museum of Art in Syrvoc, N.Y.
Anyone with toys is asked to call Bob Farris, Edson junior; Don Clark, Salina sophomore; Eleanor Hawkinson, Hutchinson senior or Gillespie.
"We collected over 6,000 toys last year," said Dick Gillespie, Topeka junior and general chairman of the drive. "I'm hoping that this year we can get 7,000. It's going to take the cooperation of the whole University."

The drive will end at noon Dec.19. Toys will then be sent to the Marine Reserve in Kansas City, Mo., where they will be distributed to underprivileged children.
"Smiles for 7,000" is the slogan of the fifth annual March of Toys sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, the Panhellenic and the Inter-fra- ntery Cuoncils.

Polling Places Set For Referendum
Opening with Palestrina's Christmas Mass, "Hodie Christus Natus Est," the A Cappella Choir presented its annual fall concert Sunday afternoon in Hoch Auditorium.
A Cappella Gives Concert
Four polling places will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday for the referendum vote on the student section seating policy for the next football season. The eAll Student Council is conducting the poll.
The 92 mixed voices were directed by Clayton Krehbiel, assistant professor of music education.
The Palestrina work was particularly commendable in the clarity, precise diction and excellent blending of all parts. The happy quality of the Mass was clearly apparent.
Hindemith's work, "Apparebit Repentina Dies," provided an interesting contrast in the afternoon's music. It was on this number that the choir displayed their most brilliant singing.
The accompaniment by a 15-piece brass choir lent a richness to the selection but it also seemed at times to overpower the singers in volume.
Weather
Windy and warmer this afternoon with local blowing dust west and increasing cloudiness northern portion. Winds 25 to 40 miles per hour this afternoon, partly cloudy tonight and Tuesday. Warmer tonight. Turning colder northern portion Tuesday. Low tonight in 30s. High Tuesday 50 north to 60 south.
6-Story Cross Is Visible For Miles
The forming of a 6-story cross on the south side of Watson Library climaxed a busy week of decorating the campus for the Christmas season.
To make the giant cross, part of the windows of Watson were blacked out and lights were left burning in the rooms containing windows needed to form the body of the lighted symbol.
The cross is visible to residents in
southwest Lawrence and to motorists travelling along Highway K-10.
With this last outside project completed, the building and grounds department, which has been in charge of installing all of the decorations on the campus, now has only to build the sets for the Christmas Vespers this Sunday, and their part in creating a holiday mood will be completed.
During the past week the department has also installed a 24-foot-tall Christmas tree in the rotunda of Strong Hall, decorated the trees in front of the building, placed a small tree in the Chi Omega fountain, installed lights along the top of Hoch Auditorium and decorated the trees around Danforth Chapel and the chancellor's residence.
Four polling places will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday for the referendum vote on the student section seating policy for the next football season. The Ali Student Council is conducting the poll.
They will be located at the Student Union lobby, Strong Hall rotunda, Fraser Hall and Marvin Hall. The three choices on the ballot will be:
3. Unlimited and unrestricted seat saving.
1. No seat saving in any section.
2. Block saving by organized groups north of the 30-yard line.
No seat saving in any section would mean that the entire section would be under a first-come first-served rule. The second choice would operate like the arrangement at this year's last two games. Organized groups could reserve seats within an area between the 30-yard line and the goal.
The remainder of the section would be first-come first served. The third choice would mean that groups could reserve blocks of seats anywhere in the student section.
Docking To Hear KU Budget Needs
The budget needs for the University and the University Medical Center will be presented by the Board of Regents sent to Governor-elect George Docking on Wednesday. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, Dean W. Clarke Wescow of the School of Medicine and Robert A Molgren, hospital administrator at the University Medical Center, will sit in on the presentation at Topeka to answer questions.
Mr. Docking is conducting hearings with many state groups before preparing the budget to be submitted to the 1957 Legislature, in January.
