From our exchanges .
At Kansas, perched high atop the wind-swept Mt. Oread, seniors received
notice this week that they should make appointments to take final health
examinations. The tests, now in their third year, offer seniors an opportunity
to evaluate changes in their physical conditions since their entrance, and to
determine physical fitness for whatever work they intend doing. Could it
happen here!
The Cincinnati News Record reports that difficult campus parking con
ditions are being remedied. Rules new to student drivers include: 1. No park
ing with front wheels more than four inches from the curb. 2. No parking,
parallel that is, more than two and a half feet behind another car. "Wc appre

Oklahoma's Daily reports that solons meeting at the state's legislative
opening are against changing tuition fees at the state university. Reasons for
sentiment against centered around the fact that the money raised by tuition
would probably be deducted from state funds; and that it would be harder
to work one's way thru school.
Would that their problem was ours, not to wish ours on anybody!

Iowa State's Daily Student tells of the campaign its Health Council con
ducted, during which it sold 6,000 Christmas seals for the tuberculosis fund.
A fine gesture that might have been done other places too. We have no Health
Council, tho, and everybody else was too busy. Ummm. . . .
Dartmouth's Student Council donated $700 of its treasury to the fund
for buying ambulances for Great Britain. The remaining $fif0 will come from
the students. Dartmouth could probably donate half a dozen without missing
the money.
played in West Lafayette, Friday, Dec. 13 at a Sigma Delta Chi affair. The
Btory relates of Nat's successes "at proms and other dances at colleges from
Baton Rouge's Louisiana State to the Big Ten's Iowa. The orchestra is cur
rently operating from Omaha, Nebr., where they call themselves 'The Toast
of the West.' "
My! My! And he's played for many a fraternity party here too. It's fine
that Mr. Nat is hitting the top spots now. Some booking agencies just have
the luck to land pood publicity men.

"Larry Clinton and . . . orchestra will not play at the sophomore
hop, Dec. 14. According to a wire received last Thursday from Clin
ton's booking agents, they were not able to make contracts for any
other dances in this territory and could not sign for only the one
dance here."
No other contracts around here, eh?

Well, we have been sitting here
thinking of all the Christmas pres
ents we are going to have to buy
and we got to thinking of some
we'd like to buy if we could give
& present to anybody in the world.
To Mr. Lawrence Jones we are
going to present a miniature
replica of the Rose Bowl score
board with the numbers thereon
reading, "Nebraska 72, Stanford
O." Mr. Jones can hang this lovely
little memento in his office or
over his bed where he can see it
first thing every a. m. However,
delivery will be delayed as we
have to wait until Jan. 1 to see
how Stanford feels about it.
To the teacher of our 8 a. m.
history class we present a beauti
fully embossed and inlaid alarm
clock that automatically goes off
en hour late every morning.
To Mr. Adolf Hitler, a big bowl
f Christmas eggnogg with just
a jigger of strychnine to give it
that extra, added flavor.
To Mr. Ernest Hemingway, a
dictionary so he can find a syno
nym for the word "obscenity.
To Mr. Wendell Willkie, a vol
time entitled "Nine Hundred and
Ninety-Nine Interesting Ways to
Pass the Time."
To Mr. Ralph Combs, a bottle
of Four Roses to toss at the queen
during the Tournament of Roses
parade in Pasadena.
To Mr. Benito Mussolini, a one
tenth interest in a Greek restau
rant so he can start life over
again.
To certain of our professors, a
fcox of giant Chinese firecrackers
in be exploded during the more
barren parts of their lectures.
To Hedy Lamarr, a great big
kiss to be delivered in person.
To all, a merry Christmas and
to all, good night.

European policy which recognizes
the principle of German victory,
or not?"
It is thought the Germans may
be contemplating occupation of all
of France as a preliminary to dis
patching effective aid to Musso
lini's beleaguered North African
forces. In the event the Nazis do
decide upon such action, the man
to watch will be Gen. Maxime
Weygand, who still commands a
powerful segment of the French
army in Northern Africa. Some
observers believe that any Ger
man move into unoccupied France
may cause him to move into the
British fold.
Other thoughts on the question
of the next Nazi move were ex
pressed by Lord Beaverbrook,
English minister of aircraft pro
duction, who warned that the
Germans were making an "im
mense attempt" to mobilize a gi
gantic force for the invasion of
Britain "by land and sea, but prin
cipally by air" early in 1941. Many
prominent observers still hold that
Britain's chances of survival are
still less than 50-50, particularly
if American aid is not sharply
accelerated.
Closely correlated, also, with the
problem of German action is the
nature of United States' defense
needs. William S. Knudsen, de
fense production chief, said the
American rearmament situation
was one of "terrible urgency." He
declared that nothing is more vital
to this country's welfare just now
than to hasten the production of
the machine tools desperately
needed to make airplanes, torpedo
boats and other weapons.
Steadily increasing thruout the
the United States is the opinion
that prerequisite to successful re
armament is the appointment of a
chairman of the defense board,
and delegation to the board of
power to allocate raw materials.

their presidents automatically
are on the council.
Functions of the committee
would include inculcating school
spirit and especially to give the
senior class a permanent and bind
ing organization. It was pointed
out that the school needs such an
organization to sponsor senior
class activities and affairs.
A definite need.
As a concrete example of the
need for such an organization,
Harris pointed out that commit
tees appointed to work on com
mencement have failed to func
tion. Many students have not even
realized they were on such com
mittees until they read their
names on the commencement pro
grams.
Other activities which the coun
cil might sponsor include senior
dances, banquets, and social af
fairs strictly for seniors.
Several present at the meeting
last night cited examples of the
senior organizations at other
schools and told of their Btrength
and inlfuence in campus affairs
It was suggested that letters be
written to several schools in order
to get ideas and plans of their
organizations.
