MAY, 1936 I VOLUME XLVIII MAY, 1936 NUMBER 5 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the Jaybawker Board. A retard of events and personalities, and a review of campus trends and opinions. JOHN E. CHANDLER Editor-in-Chief ROBERT E. KENYON Business Manager WITH this fifth and final issue of the magazine off the press, 1935-36 Jayhawker history is complete. The five issues, when bound together, will make a pictorial and written record of events and personalities of the past year, which is to the best of our ability complete. Our purpose has been to record in some fashion every student interest and activity in an interesting and permanent form. To the Seniors especially we hope the Jayhawker has been pleasing, for it is in large measure intended for them. It should be a storehouse of the happenings of their last year of campus life. Despite the more or less universal expression of rejoicing on their finally graduating, we will wager that fhe class of ' 36 will have more than a few occasions to recall their K. U. days as the happiest they have known. If such is the case, and in future years they are able to relive their student days in these pages our purpose has been achieved in full measure. The annual epidemic of political fever showed up last month, and more than the usual number came down with severe cases. The final decision was very close, indicating a healthy interest in student government as well as some trying scenes in the political arena next fall. Interesting activity will doubtless be produced by a struggle between a P. S. G. L. Council and a Pachacamac administration. Both parties felt sufficiently elated over their campaign successes to celebrate with vic- tory banquets. Despite the dampness of the weather both celebrations were highly successful. At this time it seems appropriate to scatter a few orchids to those who have contributed in unusually large measure to the Jayhawker this year. Beyond a doubt the largest single debt to be acknowledged is that we owe to Jim Donahue, cartoonist and illustrator. His interest in the Jay- hawker transcended the fact that he was not attending the University this year and any color and sparkle the publication may have showed is largely due to his efforts. Due to a narrow interpretation of the University ' s eligibility rules we have not been able to acknowledge his work on the masthead as justice would have dictated, but his contributions have been greatly appreciated. JIM DONAHUE The time is now ripe to expose a few of the Jayhawker contributors whose articles have been featured regularly under pen names. This policy is followed because their work can be most effectively carried on if they gather their material incognito. The Jayhawker ' s social re- porter this year has been Harry Lane. His regular feature, The Social Wheel, repre- sents a definite advance over similar columns in past years. Harry has added material to his articles which was more extensive and of greater interest than a mere mention of the names and dates of parties. At times, in fact, he has rivalled the Campus Polylogia page in his com- ments on doings at the dances. This latter column has been handled this year by Keith Swinehart under the name of Rip Van Winchell. Keith has been an able sleuth in his work of ferret- ing out embarrassing moments. We trust that his activity will not make him a campus enemy No. 1. George Guernsey, alias Father Time, contributed his bit to the publication by writing The Course of Erents. Written in true Guernsey style, this column ap- peared in brief calender form and in- cluded the outstanding events occurring during the year. The fashion columns have been written by Eddie Rice and Katherine Hurd. Both have done excellent work in gathering and preparing their material in an inter- esting manner. These columns are a dis- tinctive Jayhawker feature and have great possibilities in interpreting and predicting campus styles. In the first issue this year we outlined the policy the Jayhawker would follow through the year. We have tried to adhere faithfully to these plans. In each issue we have tried to make the periodical spirit permeate the publication. We have tried to escape any feeling of formalism and staidness. Student interests both on the campus and off have formed the basis for our material. The success of our efforts must be judged by student opinion. We shall be anxious to hear the verdict. Student support in the way of subscrip- tions and cover sales has been most grati- fying, and we have tried to justify that confidence. And so we present the students an- other Jayhawker with the hope that our philosophy of publication has been ac- ceptable, and that we have preserved the essence of the yearbook, while injecting into it the periodical spirit and form.
