BIBY RETURNS FROM EAST
Regional Director for Relief Campaign

w. A. Billy, regional director for
the Near East Relief campaign, re-
turned to Topeka Saturday night from
Chicago and New York where he at
tended national conferences of the
agricultural committees which will di-
rect the campaign for the sending of
three million bushels of grain to the
starving peoples of Armenia.
The National Farmers association
last fall offered the several relief or
CARNATIONS in the country five mil
lion bushels of grain on certain con-
ditions. The Near East Relief was
the one organization complying with
the conditions, but on account of a
late start only one million bushels of
grain was used. Plans are now being
made to handle three million bushels
more, Billy says.
Kansas is to furnish 100 carloads
of grain in the food stuffs campaign
of which two-thirds is yet to be
raised.
During the past ninety days seven
cargoes of food stuffs have been dis
patched to Armenia. three of them
being complete ship loads. One of
these ships sank day and a half
after unloading its cargo at Constanti-

Consolidation of the two state
schools for negroes into one strong in

ed to the next legislature by the state
board of administration. Members of
the board are in favor of the move .
The two present schools are West

and the plant converted to other uses.
The 1921 legislature appropriated a
total of $4,000 for the coming bien-
MUM to the Industrial and Educational
institute and $500 to Western uni
versity.
THE state now maintains two
schools for negroes, neither of which
lis as strong as it should be because of
inadequate support" said Ernest N.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

Rev. Peter Guilday. Phi. D.. pro-
fessor of church history at the uni
versity, in an address to the student
body Wednesday, drove home to them
the fact that Christmas, 1921, was 60
ing to be a real Christmas, in fact, the
first ideal Christmas the world has
had in some years, inasmuch as at
last the minds of men, heretofore
tainted with blood lust. have turned
to God and the blessed quest of peace.
He conjured up before their minds the
sight of the leaders of the worlds
greatest powers sitting in solemn ses-
sion to determine for humanity
whether it should foster war and
pestilence or peace and plenty. He
likened those deliberatorS to the
Angel of God, who on that first Christ
mas night brought to the shepherds
on the hillside the message of the
new born Christ child, Peace on
earth, good will to men,"
In view of the fact that several
freshmen have been lax in their OBJ
servance of the rules laid down for
them. the senior class has seen fit to
take upon itself the task of enforcing
these rules. And now every evening
in the tower of Gibbons Hall a party"
is held. whereat the guests Of honor
are several unwary freshmen. They
are chastised and put through the
ropes" according to the baseness Of
their offenses. The leadership of the
