The rotogravure section will carry portraits of the freshman beauty queens who will be selected in the near future by some outstanding national figure. The issue will be dedicated to the social sororities, each organization having a page, which will include a chapter picture and roster. Outstanding Hill personalities will likewise be presented. Something entirely new and different will be introduced in a feature article on the new auto models and pictures of the Kansas City motor show. For the athletically inclined there will be a resume of the football season, and pictures of all the lettermen. Hobo Day (if the admin- istration sees fit to let the students have fun again this year) and the Homecoming celebration will be pictorially and editorially reviewed. If the humorous and satirical articles introduced in this issue prove popular, more of a similar type will be featured in the second issue. And here is a special treat (for the female element, although the boys will do well to read it also. A talented girl writer is going to expose the collitch boys in an article entitled, The Truth About Campus Men. Don ' t miss that one, folks, we guarantee it to be a winner. The men ' s and women ' s fashion columns will give us the latest in collegiate apparel, and Campus Polykjgia, by an invaluable staff member. Rip van Winchell, will give the doings of those who have strayed from the straight and narrow. In addition there will be the usual humorous cartoons and caricatures, and the beautiful campus photographs. A lively and seasonal Christmas cover will complete the issue. Don ' t miss it. You ' ll regret it if you do. JAYHAWKER STAFF JOHN E. CHANDLER ROBERT E.

MONDAY 16 Well, well at last, we have the first varsity of the season at the Union building which despite the fact that it was too hot and too crowded to move was enjoyed by a few we hope. TUESDAY 17 Announcement made to- day of the new German exchange scholar Dietrich Zwicker by name. WEDNESDAY 18 All Student Mixer at the Union another hot and crowded varsity a good time was had by the same few who like the varsities anytime, anyhow, and anyplace.

WEDNESDAY 9 Wednesday night and of all things we have a dance at the Union from seven to eight it seems that these things are called Mid-Weeks in the vernacular of the Herd. It seems they actually enjoy the mobs. SATURDAY 12 Another football game, this time with Michigan State out to avenge last year ' s defeat. . OCTOBER, 1935 VOLUME XLVIII OCTOBER, 1935 NUMBER 1 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the ]ayhau : ker Board. A record of events and personalities, and a review of campus trends and opinions. JOHN E. CHANDLER Editor-in-Chief ROBERT E. KENYON Business Manager NOW that he has been successful in his efforts to make all the staff writers meet the deadline, the time has come for the editor to get his feet off the desk, take his pen in hand, and make his own little contribution to the maga- zine. It has been a rough fight whipping this first issue into shape, and its many imperfections will be painfully apparent to staff and reader alike, but we present it to the student body without apology, and with the definite assurance that as we - P gain a little ex- f perience, the sub- - ! J sequent issues will k. 1 show a corre- y S spending im- ! . provement. More - -Wr than a few of the W old Jayhawker writers ventured forth into the cold world last spring, and finding new ones to fill their shoes has been one of the major problems which had to be faced. That factor combined with the limited time allowed for the preparation of the first issue has made the last few weeks one continuous rush week at the Jayhawker office. And speaking of rush week, the grumbling about the new women ' s rush rules has reached even to the subterran- ean nest of the Jayhawker. The rumor is floating about that the Greek gals aren ' t as happy as they might be over the new deal in neophytes. The complaint is that no one is helped, everyone is hurt, and that about one hundred and fifty prize rushees went to Kansas State rather than face the rigors of a K. U. rush period. The Jayhawker had hoped to carry an article by some Kansas coed giving the low-down on the new rules, but no girl could be found who would permit her sentiments to be published lest they should jeopardize her relations with the dictators of Pan-Hellenic affairs. The men ' s rush week was much as usual. Everyone pulled all the raw deals they could get away with, and after the smoke of battle had cleared away all penalties were adjusted by the simple mathematical method of cancellatio n. The old tradi- tional policy prevailed every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. A good old K. U. tradition was revived a few weeks ago when a speech by a member of the Board of Regents sufficiently incensed the boys who have a mission in life, to make them scare a long dormant Dove into flight. The manner of the pink birdie ' s take-off was more suggestive of a fishing hawk or a vulture than of the gentle woo-bird its title implies, however. Ye ed notes with regret the Dove ' s excursion into the realm of economic theory and political specula- tion, and fondly reminisces on the fiery attacks on Jayhawker graft and favoritism in the athletic department so character- istic of Doves of yesteryear. Life at the U. seems to be starting out at a characteristically hectic pace. The mental torture of registration and enroll- ment led more than a few new students to suspect that the dread period known as hell week, the fame of which had even reached the general store at Drouthville- on-the-Ditch, had been moved up from February to September. The Varsities have been just as hot and crowded this year (more so because we have 4,270 students, according to the Kansan) as we remembered they were last year. The freshmen love it though, and they aren ' t to be blamed for we all did once. One thing we all learn sooner or later (and the sooner the better) is that though Var- sities come and Varsities go, the stag line always spoils them. All this and much more will be cov- ered in the following pages, and the one thing that the editor is not supposed to do on this pub- lication is steal the writer ' s stuff. -y yS Your Jayhawker this year will fol- low in its general plan, at least, the magazine style of the last two years. Those who have been associated with the publica- tion feel that the new plan has been accorded a more than enthusiastic reception, and that the five magazine issues are more suited to the student tem- perament and requirements than a year- book. The 1935-36 Jayhawker will include, however, some features not found in the magazines of last year and the year be- fore. It is the wish of the editor and busi- ness manager to offer the students a pub- lication which will be even more of a magazine and less of an annual than those of the past two years. This does not mean that the permanent quality of the Jayhawker is to be sacrificed, for in its permanency lies the essence of the publication. This year ' s magazines will be characterized by certain changes in lay- outs, more pictures, more humor, more articles on questions of a timely and pertinent nature. The Jayhawker has no axe to grind, no mission to fulfill. The old bird is not a prophet of a new order, nor does it have anything to expose. The purpose of the Jayhawker will be to pro- vide the students with a lively and stim- ulating high-class periodical and a per- manent book of memories. The changes in layout and content of the Jayhawker will not, we hope, slip by unnoticed. That they will meet with the approval of the majority is our hope, and that has been our goal in preparing this issue. It is beyond our fondest dreams, however, that all the features of the Jayhawker will meet with the unani- mous approval of the student body and faculty. So we ask, if you don ' t like the magazine, in whole or in part, that you tell us about it. And if you do like it we hope you ' ll mention that too. A little en- (Continued on page 67 ) . f ' J M OCTOBER, 1935 THE JAYHAWKER Busy days by MARGARET RYAN SCENE: News room of the Journalism building at the University of Kansas. TIME: Any time. CHARACTERS: Four reporters and a harrassed editor. 1st Reporter: Well, it looks like we ' re all back to work bright and early again this year, September 7. Women ' s rush week started a week earlier this year due to the new quota system, which allowed five days for the sororities to work on their prospective members. By September 6, all the actives were back, giving their tongues an extra coating of oil in preparation for the ordeal. All rushees were required to live in Corbin Hall during rush week; this new rule relieved the actives, inasmuch as they at least knew where the rushee was after 11 o ' clock p. m. Two days of open house started rush week off with a bang. In those two days, the rushee was required to go to six different houses. Some of them took all six in one day, while others decided to conserve their energy by going to three houses each day. One unusual feature of this rush week was the absence of the male of the species (as far as we know). Most of the men didn ' t arrive until the women ' s rushing season was well on its way, and by then, the sororities had managed to persuade (?) their rushees that their particular group was the one and only. The sororities ended up by pledging 131 girls, Chi Omega ranking highest in the number pledged with twenty-one new girls to their credit. The Kappas and Alpha Chis ran a close second, with seventeen pledges. The men did not have such stringent rules to contend with; nevertheless, the president of the Men ' s Pan-Hellenic Council can always be heard saying, The rules must be observed closely this year. ' In spite of this reminder, there are always some fraternities that so hate to see a boy leave their house that they resort to many unusual means of keeping him there, but that can happen in the best of families. As a means of ending this particular contribution, a few statis- tics might be in order. The men pledged 306 rushees, with the Kappa Sigs, Phi Delts, and Sigma Chis coming out even in the race for quantity (as well as quality), with twenty-six pledges. Monday night, Sept. 30, was a memorable night for fresh- men. The Pi Phis and Gamma Phis collaborated and walked out with the Phi Delts. They spent the evening down at the Colonial dancing to the music of Red Blackburn. The Phi Delts decided to make an evening of it (as though an evening with the Pi Phis and Gamma Phis wouldn ' t be enough in itself), and didn ' t get home until the wee small hours. One freshman who didn ' t get in until about 6:00 a. m., was caught by the candid cameraman with his head on a study desk sound asleep! The Theta and Sigma Chi freshmen got together and went down to the Eldridge hotel for a bit of dining and dancing with Louis Kuhn and his orchestra. The boys later taking in the sights of Kansas City after the coeds were fast asleep, and not pulling into the hotel till four a. m., were received by a welcoming committee, who complimented them highly on a successful walkout. 2nd Reporter: Yeah, but what ' s going on in the way of social life this year, I wonder? The first varsity of the year took place Monday night, September 16, with none other than Red Blackburn and his boys at the microphone. Need I say that the boys were all fresh from a summer in the mountains, Estes Park, to be exact. The weatherman was certainly not in sym- pathy with the freshmen, who were trying to make an im- pression in their new fall outfits, but the heat didn ' t seem to interfere with the crowd and everyone had a good time. The old boys and the new boys were looking the feminine new- comers over with an eye such as we imagine Earl Carroll might use in selecting girls for his new show. As usual, new acquaint- ances were made, old ones renewed, while some were leftovers from last year, the year before that, and even the year before that. Wayne Wright (the Phi Gam from Missouri) and his orchestra took charge of the All-University Mixer Wednes- day night, September 18. The party just lasted until 11 o ' clock, but the crowd did a good job of conforming to the idea of the party and mixed! Last, but not least, of the social calendar for the first week of school, we have the Chancellor ' s Recep- tion, which was given Saturday night, September 21, in the Memorial Union building. All the members of the faculty were there and ready to meet and mingle with the students that were present. Louie Kuhn ' s orchestra furnished music for those who were in the mood for dancing. Open houses, what fun! (So they say) . You know, they ' re the things where actives get their freshmen to stand in line while they give the guests that come in that ' see what we got, now see what you can do ' look. The Thetas, A. D. Pis, and Alpha Chis decided to air their houses Friday night, September 21. The boys were kept quite busy running from one house to the other. The Pi Phis took a chance and opened their house to anyone who was interested on Saturday night, September 28, competing with a varsity. It doesn ' t take long for the freshmen to catch on to how they stand in their house. As soon as they 10 STUDENTS RETURN TO OREAD BY TRAIN AND BUS do, they decide to walk out on it all (just for one evening, of course). The Kappas and Sig Alphs, and the Chi Omegas and the Phi Gams got rid of their freshmen on the night of Sep- tember 23 (it ' s a shame the girls had to be in at 10:30, be- cause so many more exciting things can happen after 10:30, especially on a walk-out). While the women ' s rush week had a tendency to be slow and uninteresting in comparison with past years, the men got in the old spirit of things like days of old, when rushees were pledged on water towers and chased to remote country roads to see the light. For many of the frats rush week was over at four o ' clock Saturday and the prizes were rushed off to Kansas City and Topeka for safe keeping while a few of the other lodges who still had Saturday night and Sunday set aside for rushing found themselves entertaining boys left be- hind without a chance to keep second or third dates with frats who were full to overflowing. Then of course there were the Hill top boys, who persisted in trying to talk to rushees that many frats didn ' t want to account for because of their short leaves of absence under latter lodge ' s supervision and wouldn ' t account for even after such stories as the man just passing through who had to deliver a trench coat or the deep voice over the phone swearing he was the rushee ' s dad. The view of the rushee while all this was going on was very baffling and he probably thought the whole thing was being over done in his specific case as his mind was already made up anyway. Of course the Phi Delts, who came out on top really had the ad- vantage over the rest of the boys in that they could tell the lad it was better to be one of them than a barb because they could live at one of the many barb houses on Tennessee any- way its a cinch they couldn ' t live in the house. The Kappa Sigs, another leader in number, gave its rushees a big college view by packing the Jayhawk and singing their songs and act- ing very superior to the few scattered men who had gotten away from it all (very sheepishly) with feminine companion- ship. The Sigma Chis used the same old gag of big cars and big talk to influence their twenty-six. The Betas and Phi Psis took all those who gave a worried, look at those paddles and barrel staves and preferred a slap on the wrist or a stand in corner instead. The Sig Alfs and Delta Taus tried everything without much success with anything, while the Sigma Nus and A. T. O.s used the home town system, with Chaunte as the old stand-by town. The D. U.s and Sig Eps trying for every man spiked or not painting beautiful pictures of college life and as a last resort offer to press pants and talk it over with their treasurer about easy payments. This is all rush week for the men and makes something down in the man rush hard not merely to pledge a certain boy but to get the fun from the battle and in many cases they didn ' t know when to stop and after counting up they found a few of the boys should have signed up with another boarding club or tried Haskell with Henry Wichita. 3rd Reporter: Say, not to change the subject, but I was just wondering when registration and enrollment started ? After the hectic life of rush week, the entire student body was ready to settle down to the more simple things in life. What more could one ask for than a quiet day spent up in the Administration building registering, followed by another peaceful day of enrolling? After two days of rest such as this, surely everyone is ready to start school to the familiar strains of This year, I ' m going to start studying right at the beginning of the semester. ' The peculiar aspect of this state of mind is that it doesn ' t last for more than a week or two, unless, of course, the case is abnormal. To get down to facts, registration started Saturday, September 14, and continued through Tuesday. Enrolling started the next day, and once again the advisors were kept busy trying to start the freshmen ' on the right track, ' and answering questions concerning ' pipe ' courses, professors, and how many hours does it take to graduate. A special enrollment was held Saturday, September 21, for those poor unfortunates who felt too industrious at the time of enrolling, and had weakened. September 19 brings us to the first day of classes. This is always a bad day, even for the aged juniors and seniors. It brings everyone face to face with the reality of what is to LOOKS LIKE A GOOD YEAR FOR BAGS OCTOBER, 1935 U come, especially after a vacation which made the idea of study- ing seem even more distant than usual. The freshmen are in a complete state of bewilderment, and it is no novelty when sitting in a classroom the first day, to have someone jump up suddenly, mumbling to himself, ' I thought this was a Shake- speare course instead of Analytics. ' Perhaps freshmen shouldn ' t be blamed for all mistakes of this nature, though! Editor: Why don ' t you reporters stop hashing over all this stale news and get to work on some of the more recent events? The 70th annual opening convocation was held on Friday morning, September 20. The principal address was deliv- ered by Baile P. Waggener, a member of the Board of Regents from Atchison. His remarks concerning the teaching of social- ism gave rise to the first issue of the Dove for the school year, as well as drawing numerous comments from newspapers in Lawrence and nearby cities. The K. U. band made its first appearance of the season at this convocation, and all 91 mem- bers seemed to be playing the same piece. Chancellor Lindley made an address of welcome to the new students, stressing function of the college in preparing individuals for life in a modern and fast moving age. The induction ceremony for new students was held in the stadium on the evening of Tuesday, October 20. The new freshmen met at 7:00 on North College hill where a fire was kindled near Corbin Hall. After a talk on the history of the tradition the freshmen were directed to the bowl of the stadium by the Sachems, Ku Kus and members of Mortar Board, who were in charge of the service. A torch was lighted from the fire on the hill and carried to the Rock Chalk caim on the campus. After all the initiates and specta- tors were seated the torch was borne to the stadium by George Tallyho Guernsey, president of Sachem. The service at the stadium was conducted by the Chancellor, assisted by repre- sentatives of the classes and Miss Hannah Oliver, professor emeritus of Latin and Greek. The ceremonies were concluded by the repetition of the Athenian oath, and the class of ' 39 were full-fledged members of the University. After the ceremony the men of the freshman class were required to don their freshman bonnets, which they will wear until after the Home-coming football game with Missouri on Thanksgiving Day. Last year there was an organized movement on the campus to abolish the freshman cap tradition, but it was defeated by a narrow margin at a student referendum. The freshmen these days are lucky, though. Up until a few years ago they had to drag out the caps again the first of April, and wear them until the end of the school year. There is nothing like pleasing everyone, so for those who feel that they are especially gifted in the fine arts of music, athletics, dramatics, debate or what have you, there are such organizations as Tau Sigma, Quack Club, Glee Club, and a host of others of equal importance. Each year these groups get the idea that it might be a good thing to take in a few new members, and as a consequence, the last few weeks have been rather crowded with tryouts for one thing and another. All ambitious freshmen, or those whose lodges were anxious that they do something besides attend classes and do freshman duties, have been trying out for everything the Hill has to offer except Phi Beta Kappa. Tryouts for the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Dramatic Club were held Tuesday and Wednes- day, September 24 and 25. Radamanthi, the University ' s organ- ization for budding poets, held its tryout September 30. Whether or not any new genius was received into the fold had not been disclosed when this article went to press. Speaking of athletics (or were we?) the football team received a grand send-off from the student body before they left for South Bend to tangle with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, and though the score was wrong, that rally at the Santa Fe station will be remembered for a long time to come. The game September 28 was the first of the season, and though the Ramblers proved a little too tough for the local boys, K. U. looked like a fast, tricky aggregation, and showed more than plenty of fight. The team is composed in great part of inexpe- rienced material and should show marked improvement as the season progresses. The Fall intramural programs for both men and women are getting under way, and there will be some real competition for the trophies among the organized houses before the season is over. Fall sports in intramurals include football, horseshoes, tennis for the men, and hockey, basketball, and horseshoes for the women. 4th Reporter (Speaking to Editor) : That about brings everything up to date now, doesn ' t it? How about letting us go home and get some much needed rest? CSEP STUDENTS BEAUTIFY OB UBRABY LAWN AFTEB THE FIRST CONVOCATION 12 THE JAYHAWKER The nightshirt parade Dealing With the Origin and Evolution of One of K.U s Most Colorful Traditions by MARY JULE SHIPMAN IT WAS the victory of 1902. The game in the Big Six was played off campus, and the student body ran wild at the good news, thinking ways to work off steam. Somehow, late that night, the jubilant, hysterical crowd came up in front of Chancellor Strong ' s. For blocks Louisi- ana was awakened by the shouting. At last the chancellor himself stuck a sleepy head from a window. We ' ve won ! was the shout. Speech ! Speech! Without a moment ' s pause he walked out onto the narrow balcony overlooking the street, in the excitement oblivious to his own nightgowned person. Not so the student body. His few words were greeted with riotous cheers, followed by a dash to quarters to obtain garb similar to that of their leader. What ' s good enough for Chancy is good enough for me, was the cry as the night-robed figures marched about the campus delightedly the rest of the night. Thus was another of Oread ' s famous traditions begun. To be sure, a less romantic tale, involving the annual town and gown night squabble between the town toughies and college slickers, which necessitated non-damageable clothing being worn, has been cited. Another there is, a hopelessly pfosaic one of gradual evolution from the year one of K. U. memory and the celebration after the Baker game (the first of the season each year), with speeches by old Chan- cellor Snow to fill out the bill. This version, told by THE Irving Hill, one time hero of the Kansas football field, bears weight only by virtue of his name, we hope. Dr. James Naismith contributes that the celebration was discontinued for some years, then resumed in 1900 after the Nebraska game. His theory that night- ies were a gradual addition may well be supplemented by the opening paragraphs of this, my story. From such we will be- lieve our traditions emerge not from chance and lazy men too fagged to dress to go downtown. In 1904, remembers Professor Melvin of the history department, the snake dance was stolen from M U to add to the general glee. What wonder our name Jayhawker, once explained as they copped our stuff and flew by an en- raged Missourian, has stuck to us. Confined to the Hill at first, the exuberance of the crowd soon made them invade the town. After a noon rally, history has it, plans were made to march in cheering ranks over Lawrence, on the present route down Oread to Indiana, east on Eighth to Massachusetts and south to the park for speeches and refresh- ments. The old Bowersock and Varsity theaters were thrown open to the stu- K. U. BOYS DISPLAY THE LATEST THINGS IN NIGHTWEAR dents, the only stipulation being that all must be fully clothed before entrance. Only two casualties worthy of note are mentioned. In 1919 a street car on Massa- chusetts, driven by a motorman who was teased by the crowd, ran down these boys. Inquiry was held, and it was feared that the custom would die in agony. But Kansans are made of sterner stuff. Fifteen hundred of them rose to the occasion in 1920. A year later its proportions were such that Chancellor Lindley himself led the parade in a truck. In ' 24, Swede Carlson, alumnus, re- ports, dates were forceably hauled away from their charmers and made to join the mob. Take Youse, Haffaker, Ghetto, Rice, Roberts, Miller then add Pfuettze to the list of cheerleading fame. Mac ' s band is succeeded by Red ' s, and the march goes on. To what are we heading now, though ? A decline began in ' 26, when fresh- men were forced into the line by K Men with paddles and seniors were allowed to slip into the ranks of on- lookers with the women. Our he-men became followers of the army of pledges. The custom of holding the gala af- fair on the night of the first home game was broken in ' 33 for the first time in many years. Now this annual event is delayed until the night before one of our most important games to be played on the home field. More enthusiasm about the event is thus created by that time, and the big night is eagarly awaited by those who expect to be spectators. As to the fortitude of the participants, the time was when the boys ran in old-fashioned nightshirts even in a driv- ing rain. However, now a murky evening discourages some of the pajamaed sissies. A variety of the latest in bedroom wear may be observed at this fashion show. Flannel has proved to be the most popu- lar of fabrics not only for warmth, but also for the extra protection it provides when a paddle is wielded in keeping an orderly line. Vivid colors in all hues are displayed by the models, but the more loyal of them usually succeed in rigging up a combination of red and blue. Bath- robes are employed by the more modest of the boys; however, the majority are anxious for this chance to display their handsome physiques.

' s Distinguished Chancellor by DEAN MOORHEAD OLIVER GOLDSMITH once said, There is an unspeakable pleasure surrounding the life of a. voluntary stu- dent. He might have added that this pleasure becomes doubly enjoyable when the student achieves national fame and recognition as a result of application to his studies. Were we to imitate O. O. Mclntyre and apply a one word descrip- tion to Chancellor Lindley, that word must of necessity be student, for through- out his interesting career Chancellor Lindley has been first of all a student. To those of us here at K. U., nominally at least in the guise of students, it is exceedingly interesting to trace Chan- cellor Lindley ' s studies and to discover how he progressed through a field of study which had a beginning very similar to the life in which we are all now participating. Chancellor Lindley ' s formal schooling began in Bloomington, Indiana. There, while working day and night in his father ' s drug store, he completed his preparatory work at the age of fourteen. Although Bloomington was the home of Indiana University, circumstances were such that Chancellor Lindley was at first unable to continue his schooling. For three years after graduation he worked in his father ' s drug store, waiting for the time when he hoped to enter the Uni- versity. But these three years were far from wasted. The over the counter acquain- tances acquired during this time were many and valuable. David Starr Jordan, then president of Indiana University, was a steady customer at the drug store, and with him the young clerk formed a strong friendship. At first their meetings outside of the store were brought about by Chancellor Lindley ' s waiting inside the gate of his home until Jordan passed and then, seemingly by coincidence, by his joining Jordan and happening to be going in the same direction. Whether or not Jordan ' s suspicions were aroused by the frequency of these coincidences, he welcomed them, for, naturalist and counsellor that he was, he always was glad to talk to the youth at his side, to acquaint him with nature, and to discuss with him the many problems of a young boy ' s life. Then, too, there was a shoe-maker an artist in friendship, Chancellor Lindley calls him whose shop was the meeting place of a little circle of men who loved knowledge and serious discus- sions. In this circle the young student found a place, learned literature by ear, and fostered the conversational powers which he now possesses. When at last he was able to enroll in Indiana University, Chancellor Lindley discovered that these three years of work had better suited him for college by furthering his general knowledge and by whetting his desire to study. Memory of the benefits of these years today causes Chancellor Lindley to counsel students not to be discouraged if a college education is postponed a few years. THE UNIVERSITY ' S MOST DISTINGUISHED STUDENT OCTOBER, 1935 15 DR. LINDLEY WITH THE COUNCIL PRESIDENTS Once in the University, Chancellor Lindley plunged wholeheartedly into its activities, despite the fact that his posi- tion in school was not secure and that each class might be his last. The study of languages, of philosophy, and of psychology particularly interested him. He took Greek in order to be able to read P lato in the original; German, he enjoyed and showed such proficiency in its study that his instructor voluntarily hastened his progress by means of private r.ight lessons. Most of all, however, he enjoyed philosophy and psychology. The study of the inward and outward thoughts and actions of his fellow-beings seemed to form a most attractive field of study. Despite the fact that he was still work- ing in the drug store, the Chancellor found time to enter into a variety of school activities. He was interested in politics and in student self-government and participated in campaigns which doubtless were as feverish as are those which annoy K. U. students each year. Debating and literary societies were other interests, as was the lecture association which he and others completely reorgan- ized in order that it might be more bene- ficial. Baseball also attracted him. Curve balls were then a novelty, and the Chan- cellor, desirous of becoming a pitcher, spent many hours trying to get the proper ' break on a fast ball. Sports, however, were less prominent in colleges than now ! Their place was taken by a variety of college pranks. The mention of grave- yard hazing parties and inter-class fights brings a smile to the Chancellor ' s face, and he confesses that some of the pranks in which he participated need not be mentioned. One college episode deserves mention, however, for it resulted in an Indiana tradition. A group of Indiana students, Chancellor Lindley among them, had cut classes and was journeying to see the Purdue-Michigan football game. Among the hilarity attendant to such trips, it was mentioned that Indiana needed a new yell. After a bit of thought, someone shouted, Indiana, Gloriana, and Chan- cellor Lindley, more conscious of sound than of definition, added, Frangipani. The name was that of an Italian perfume, but it sounded well and was incorporated into the yell. The chant caught the fancy of other students and was adopted. Today, it is for Indiana University what the Rock Chalk is for Kansas, and this winter as you hear the chant Indiana, Gloriana, Frangipani, come in over the radio from Big Ten gridirons, remember that it is partially a result of Chancellor Lindley ' s knowledge of drug store products. While still a student at Indiana Uni- versity, Chancellor Lindley became regional president of his fraternity. This office led him into many Indiana colleges and broadened his even then wide circle of friends. Through this office, he became acquainted with Booth Tarkington, then a student at Purdue. Chancellor Lindley remembers Tarkington as a man of won- derful charm who even then showed evi- dence of the genius which has since made him famous. The busy days at Indiana came tem- porarily to an end in 1893 when Chan- cellor Lindley received his Bachelor ' s degree. He says of his early days at Indiana: It was a simple, social, wholesome life, and I had a tremendously good time. In fact I had stayed around there so long that I suspect they finally gave me my degree just in order to get rid of me. The best thing about my undergraduate days? The best thing is that while still a stu- dent at Indiana, I met the fellow-class- mate who has since become Mrs. Lindley. Evidently Indiana didn ' t give Chan- cellor Lindley his diploma in order to get rid of him, for W. L. Bryan, now president of Indiana, and Dr. Jordan, president at that time, asked that he remain as an instructor in psychology. Chancellor Lindley ' s school career and his previous business experience had opened the field of business to him, but he decided to remain in educational work to devote his life to further study and to constructive work in the lives of students. From instructor he rose to associate pro- fessor, and in 1902 he became professor of philosophy and psychology, and head of that department in Indiana University. Despite his many teachers ' duties, his studies continued. On leave of absence from Indiana he held a fellowship at Clark University for two years and obtained his Doctor ' s degree. After leav- ing Clark, he went abroad. At Jena, in the heart of the Goethe country, he studied in a school profoundly influenced by this great German philospher. Later he studied at Leipzig, and at Heidelberg he did research work under the famous Kraepelin. Soon afterwards, Chancellor Lindley published the results of this work in a German volume entitled Ueber Arbeit und Rube. Returning to the United States, he studied at Harvard under such noted psychologists as Wm. James, George Palmer, and Josiah Royce. Meanwhile he and Dr. Bryan had dis- covered Arthur Griffith then a world- famous 18-year-old mathematical prodigy. According to Chancellor Lindley, the best professors of mathematics in eastern universities would spend hours construct- ing problems which Griffith would require but seconds to answer. Dr. Bryan ' s and Chancellor Lindley ' s joint report upon their observations of this lad was presented at the convention of the National Psychology Association at Yale and later at the International Congress of Psychology in Paris. This work led to a later study of genius and of experts. Soon afterwards. Dr. Lindley became interested in the workings of the animal mind when confronted with puzzles. He studied both humans and the lower animals in connec- tion with this research and published a full account of his studies in a volume entitled The Psychology of Puzzles . This work preceded by a few years similar work of Binet who made considerable use of the material contained in Chancellor Lindley ' s research. This work was also extensively used by Professor Terman in the compilation of his famous intelli- gence tests part of which are now used by this university to determine the apti- tude of freshmen. In the Psychological Biography. Professor Terman acknow- ledges his indebtedness to Chancellor Lindley, both for his research and for his instruction. Chancellor Lindley also made practical application of his psychological studies. At one time he was employed to reor- ganize the personnel of the Ford Motor Plant at Indianapolis, and at another time he performed a similar task for the National Cash Register Company. His work at Indianapolis attracted the atten- tion of Henry Ford, and he was invited to confer with Mr. Ford at Detroit. There, in a full day ' s interview, Dr. Lindley spent what he considers one of the most interesting days of his life. In that conference, held some twenty years ago, Mr. Ford revealed to Dr. Lindley many of the progressive ideas which have (Continued on page 69) Pigskin prospects THE JAYHAWKER Kansas Looks to New Material for a Fighting Punch to Supplement the Mighty Jayhawk Defense by JAMES COLEMAN IN THE FALL a young man ' s fancy turns to thoughts of love, and foot- ball, if you ' ll pardon the quotation from Shakespeare (or was it Tennyson?). At any rate the air at Memorial Stadium re- sounds with the thud of toe on pigskin and the crash of opposing scrimmagers meeting in hard tackles. Every afternoon groups of interested students and towns- people gather there to do their bit in the development of the 1935 Kansas grid machine with encouraging remarks to the players and wise coaching instructions to Ad Lindsey, head mentor. The one bright point in the return to the grind of text books and strict profes- sors is the opening of the football season, and the Kansas student is as interested as the team in speculations as to whether the jinx that has ridden with the Jayhawkers will put Nebraska again on the long end of the score in Lindsey ' s charges ' third conference encounter, on November ' 9, or whether Kansas State will retain the loop championship which they won last year by defeating the Cornhuskers at Lincoln. The Jayhawkers embarked upon their 1935 schedule on September 28 with a 28-to-7 setback at the hands of Elmer Layden ' s Notre Dame Ra ' mblers, such stars as Pojman, Muchuta, Carideo, Steinkemper, Solari, Wojcihovske, and Mazzioti dominating the game as out- standing for the Irish. The result of the game gave every indication that the foot- ball fortunes of the South Bend school were definitely on the upgrade, the heavy Rambler line swarming over their lighter opponents on virtually every play to stop the Kansas backs on the scrimmage line, while such All- American candidates as Bill Shakespeare and Mike Layden showed their heels to the valiant Jayhawkers on off tackle and end runs that netted 189 yards from scrimmage, exclusive of passes. Wade Green, converted from a tackle to an end, trading positions with John Seigle, snared a 29-yard pass from the hands of George Hapgood for the only Kansas counter of the game, in the third period. Rutherford Hayes, John Peterson, and Freddie Harris were outstanding for Kansas, a 70-yard punt by Harris setting the stage for the Jayhawker touchdown drive. Again Coach Lindsey ' s chief problem appears to be in uncovering of an of- fense that will function with regularity. Although the showing against the strong Ramblers, outweighing them 15 pounds to the man, need not be taken as an indi- cation of the Kansas eleven ' s abilities on the attack, it was evident that backs who can get into the open, and ends who can snare Hapgood ' s and Stukey ' s aerial heaves will be at a premium, although two stars of last year ' s freshman team, Clarence Douglass, and Emil Weinecke, are being counted on to carry a large por- tion of the offensive burden. The 1935 Jayhawkers have been hailed as one of the fastest teams in several years, both on the offense and the defense, and against opponents more in their class should show to much better advantage. A large squad of candidates greeted Lindsey at the opening practice and ad- journed to the CCC camp at Lone Star for a week ' s conditioning preparatory to the opening of school. Missing from the group were the faces of lineman Frank Watkins, Elwyn Dees, Milo Clawson, and Burt Hammers, all three-year veterans, and Clyde Tiny Moore and Dick Wells. Dean Nesmith was the only tackle can- didate who had seen previous service, and he pulled his stakes four days before the Notre Dame conflict and headed for George Washington University with the intention of entering that institution. He returned to the Jayhawker fold in time for the game, however. At the tackle posts Stapleton, Vogel, and Ward, all new men, and Seigle, who was outstand- ing last year at end, were used in an attempt to fill the vacancies left by last year ' s graduation. McCall and Sklar gave ample promise of repeating their sensa- tional performances of the 1934 cam- paign, having a hand in virtually every defensive play, while Ed Phelps, 1934 letter man, and Grant Barcus, sophomore, filled the center position very capably. Rutherford Hayes indicated that he would be a thorn in the side of the enemy with one of the most aggressive styles of com- bat seen on the field. Ole Nesmith beat brother Dean out of school by one year and left a gaping hole in the backfield. Bob White, the flashy ball carrier who was the big gun in most of the winning drives last year, also completed his eligibility and left the pill- lugging burden on the capable shoulders of Hapgood, Peterson, and Harris. With Giannangelo, Stukey, Douglass and Wein- ecke, this trio packs a charge of speed and power that will be hard to stop once it is in the groove. Whether the 1935 eleven will approach the power of defense and variety of at- tack that netted Kansas a conference title in 1930 remains to be seen, but the general opinion is that the stars of last year ' s freshman team will be counted on to play a large part in the formation of Lindsey ' s 1935 combination. Not only will they be used to fill the holes left by graduation, but the sophomores will con- stitute most of the replacements, in order to gain the experience necessary to step HEAR WOfiLD fAMOUS CQLlf GC YELL ! 2--30P.M. jRarifc rou .- BRUENING, VOGEL, KRUSE, WEINICKE.

The line is as strong as any in the con- ference with the exception of the tackle positions, but it is in the ball-carrying de- partment that Lindsay will have to de- velop new men to bring new strength to the offense.

As this article goes to press the sec- ond encounter of the season, against the small but mighty St. Benedicts Col- lege of Atchison, is only a few days off, and as Lindsay ' s proteges received their season ' s baptism against Notre Dame they should be well prepared to combat Larry Moon Mullins, charges, who use the same style of play. On October 12 the Jayhawkers journey to East Lansing. Michigan, to face another exponent of the late Knute Rockne ' s system, Michigan State. As we all remember, the Spartans eked out a mud-soaked victory over the Lindsaymen last year, 6 to 0. On October 26 the Jayhawkers begin their Big Six campaign, meeting Kansas State, last year ' s champs, on the home field. This promises to be one of the best tussles of the season, as the Aggies have demonstrated plenty of power in their games so far. Oklahoma and Nebraska, two of the stronger Big Six clubs, are the next two opponents, on November 2 and November 9, with the Colorado tilt booked for November 16 and meetings with Iowa State and Missouri following. On the basis of early season performances Iowa State and Missouri are the only schools who are not conceded a chance at the title, and one of the most spirited of pennant struggles seems to be in the offing. And just in case old Jupiter Pluvius doesn ' t come around with a few light showers to soak the field as he did for the Nebraska, Colorado and Michigan State games last year, a new sprinkler system has been installed in Memorial Stadium to help out. There is one factor which will weigh heavily either for or against a successful season, however, over which neither team nor coach has effective control, and that factor is student support. Past history has shown that a lethargic cheering sec- tion can dampen the enthusiasm and de- vitalize the drive of a winning team, and instances are also recorded of loyal, sym- pathetic student support inspiring appar- ently beaten teams to last minute vic- tories. Kansas has not been noted these last few years for over-enthusiastic sup- port of its athletic teams, and before he criticizes team and coach for athletic re- verses each student might well ask him- self if he has done his part. Chances are that a truthful answer to this question might lead to a figurative revocation of more than a few blue eagles. It is beside the point now to speculate on whether or not we have the mate- rial and coaches we should have. Down- town Lawrence is already suffering from an excess of drug store coaches. Mount Oread can well do without any of that species. Every student can do his best to make the Jayhawk football season a little more prosperous by giving his unquali- fied support to the team and save his agi- tation till the football season is past history. Eliminate the Bronx cheering section by a strong public opinion, come out and cheer the team on, and if the season ends with a preponderance of de- feats over victories we can at least say with pride that every student from quar- terback to the newest freshman did his best, and Kansas will at least be known among collegiana as a school of good Sports. (Continued on page 71) THE JAYHAWKER K. U. x s dream castle The University ' s Tribute to Kansas ' War Heroes Plays a Vital Part on the life of Every Student by BOB COREY FEW persons stop to question the pres- ence of the Student Memorial Union on our campus; but a. decade ago such student recreation centers were regarded as novel innovations and some felt their effect would be detrimental to the scholas- tic record of the student body. However, in the past few years student unions have definitely proven their desirability, and at present few universities of any size are without some type of student center. The Union movement started at the University of Kansas in 1917 as origi- nally proposed, a million dollar fund was to be raised for the erection of a stadium and a Union building. These structures were to be memorials to the University ' s war heroes. Since that time, however, the stadium was taken over by the newly created athletic board, and the funds were used in the building of the present Memorial Union. Approximately $6 0,000 was pledged in the campaign, and the greater part of this was used to build the present unit of the Union building. As Kansas was one of the few schools to attempt such an undertaking at that time, other universities regarded this project curiously when the building was opened in 1925. Since then, however, the success- ful operation of student Unions has made them generally accepted every- where. As the building now stands; it is only partially completed, and future addi- tions will be made on the north and west sides. When totally finished it will repre- sent an expenditure of three-fourths mil- lion dollars and will be one of the largest and finest buildings of its kind in the United States. The units which will be added as soon as funds are available will contain an extensive reading room, increased dining facilities, a concourse overlooking the stadium and Kaw valley, additional recre- ation rooms, guest rooms, and possibly a swimming pool. However, before any new construction is started the present structure will be more completely finished and improved by refinishing the sub- basement, increasing the fountain space, and service rooms. All committee rooms now in the basement will be moved to the third floor above the ballroom, which will provide ample room for all Uni- versity activities, groups, and organi- zations. Without a doubt the Union fulfills a very definite need in the life of every student. Many come there to relax and listen to the radio, or to meet their friends, while those who indulge in seri- ous pastimes find cards, chess men, and checkers for entertainment. The Union fountain is the nucleus of all daytime activity in the building. During the morning there is seldom a vacant booth not intended to be a cast of reflection on the habitual class-cutters. Try to find a place to sit down in the fountain on the morning of a Convocation standing room is even at a premium. Not only is it a good place to indulge in a fudge sundae or coke, but it also offers an excellent opportunity to hear the latest Hill gossip. The small curtains at the tops of the booths serve well enough in shutting off a view of your neighbor, but they are by no means sound-proof. Prob- ably the Union is best known for the Mid-Week dance, which is given by the operating committee gratis to all students, and the varsities which are held nearly every Friday or Saturday in the magnifi- cent ballroom. This year several new services have been added to the long list that the Union already makes available to everyone. A Student Travel Bureau has been instituted this year for the first time. All those desiring transportation may register where and when they wish to go, and those hav- ing cars and desiring passengers are asked to do likewise. If everyone cooperates it should free a lot of the space on the bulletin boards now taken up by announcements of this type and provide a more effective means of securing trans- portation. A writing desk has been placed in the lounge, and official stationery and envelopes are furnished free to all who ask for it. (The management adds, how- ever, that stamps will be sold at regular prices) . A new dictionary, the largest to be found, is at the main desk; now dur- ing intermission Mary Freshman can look up some of those big words that John Senior was using so fluently when he cut her the fourth time. Mary and John can also brighten their studying or letter- writing by chewing gum and and munching candy, both of which can be purchased at the new candy counter located on the main desk. When students grow tired of the monotonous routine of school life, they can always get away from it by delving into the romance of some of the current magazines, which may be checked out from the desk. Daily issues of leading newspapers are also available for the students ' use. Among the structural changes com- pleted are the new service entrance in the sub-basement. This drive needed extra parking space at varsities. The girls ' lounge has been redecorated in a very attractive color scheme of yel- low and green. With walls of a light greenish yellow, the furniture has been covered to match them in bright Monk ' s cloth and chintz. Although this lounge is now smaller because of the installation of a check room, the transformation is a pleasing one. Probably one of the great- est changes in the main floor of the building is the new check stand. It is now large enough for the accommodation of not only the men ' s hats and overcoats, but also of girls ' wraps. Situated on the east side of the lounge, the check room is now much more convenient and furnishes a nice leaning and meeting place for you boys while waiting for your dates to reappear. A much-needed men ' s room has been installed on the main floor also. Heavy new rust-colored drapes, with bits of white and tan yarn running through them, have been hung in the main lounge of the Union. A navy blue velour back drop and brass railing have been added to the orchestra platform of the ballroom to enhance its beauty. Of course, we like the formality of this new addition, but it does cramp the style of the many stags who, having grown tired of looking for a certain miss, decide to park at the orchestra members ' feet until she dances by. The control of the Union building rests essentially with the students. It is their building and recreation center, and is run on a non-profit basis for the benefit of the entire student body. The Union Operating committee controls the gen- ( Continued on page 68) OCTOBER, 1935 U A Class Party The Union Today The Main Lounge Manager Cochrane The Union Fountain K.U s Dream.

An existence without any appar- ent thought for the future, each day passing without heed for the morrow. A life which appears to be the ultimate in color and romance to those on the outside, but which oftimes seems more or less montonous to the student. College life is woven in an intricate and complex pattern. Each hour, each day adds some new thread to the design. The classroom, the stadium, the ball- room, the fountain, the fraternity or sorority house; all these lend their particular contribution to the whole experience. It is a rare combination of all these factors which makes college life such a thrilling and memorable episode in the lives of us all. In an effort to catch for you some of the passing highlights which make a collegiate career something out of the ordinary, the Jayhawker presents in these pages the Mount Oread Varieties. It ' s the little things in life that count, and as the year passes we will try to preserve in the suc- ceeding volumes the fleeting incidents of your college life; the familiar faces and scenes, which would be otherwise forgotten, and which will, in years to come, immeasurably enrich your memo- ries of the best four years you will ever know. ...

The Fine Art of High Pressure Salesmanship as Practiced by K. U. Greeks Fools No One But the Most Innocent Rushee AND you can room with Ray Eb- ling, seems to be the rush talk that the members of the Violet Club told those innocent freshmen, who were con- sidering joining the lodge this year. Of course, when all the boys got together on their stories, they felt sure that no mat- ter how large Ray ' s room might be, fif- teen couldn ' t live together comfortably, even with the great Ebling. But this was only one of the many stories that came drifting in after rush week. The Phi Delts, after pledging a few boys, now have a small chapter of eighty wearing the sword and shield. The Sigma Chis are still talking about their Charles Godfrey from California no doubt a prize. One might wonder why the Sigs have to go clear to California, where probably they ' ve never heard of the Lawrence Grand Hotel occupants, to pledge their prizes. The Beta ' s adminis- tered a whacking bump to a number of Hill houses and, incidentally, got even with the A. T. O.s for the Cox episode of last year, when they pledged Bob Morton. And one almost must mention the bump that the gentleman (?) at the Beta house received. Dick Newlin, a Beta brother, fooled them all, and pledged Sigma Nu those boys out on West Tenth should certainly b ' e congratulated. The Phi Psis red-headed freshman, who answers to the name of Roy Lee Stein- heimer, has all the coeds fighting for dates with him. Delta Upsilon took a number of prizes but then don ' t they always? And then the lads of Phi Gam- ma Delta have reason to be proud of Proctor Ritchie. But now, how do all these freshmen feel, now that they are no longer kings? They have had their day, and are no doubt recalling with fond regret those memories of days when a wrong move didn ' t mean a beating. The bright and shiny new car which Jack Spines of Wichita brought with him this year when he moved in with the Delta Taus is quite handsome. Walter Krause of Kansas City swelled the popu- lation of the A. T. O. Ranch an ' mighty proud the lads are of him. Their gift to the coeds of the Hill is the handsome Robert Doolittle of Kansas City. by ANN HUBBARD The Kappa Sigs are all set up over their Harold Bratches, another flash from Ark City. We wonder if their large new house had anything to do with the size of their pledge class or if they, like the Phi Delts, just couldn ' t pass any of them up ' cause they were such good boys. The exuberant southern hospitality of the Pi K A ' s won for them that personable Kansas City pledge, Howard Dunham. In spite of the new rushing rules for girls used for the first time this year, inside information from each sorority in- dicates that they got the best of the best. The Chi Omegas led in quantity, pledg- ing twenty-six girls. From all reports they got quality as well as quantity, and if June Kirkham is an example, one can easily believe it. And now that famous Gamma Phi, Julia Markham, sends her attractive little sister Mary up here to join RUSH! that same group. The sisters of the cres- cent will no doubt find Bertha White ' s closets full of skiing suits, riding habits, and polo ensembles (space forbids men- tioning the rest), a welcome addition to their collective wardrobes. The wearers of the golden kite have spoken quite highly of that ravishing blond, Meredith Dyer, who hails from Kansas City. Incidentally, they also pledge that very lovely daughter of Dean Werner ' s, whose name is Dor- othy. The Kappas snatched Mary Louise Kanaga from all the sororities, and Dor- othy Blue, the vacillating Lawrence rushee, who changed her mind three times before her final decision was reached, was undoubtedly worth the anxiety she caused the members of K. K. G. Pi Phi captured that gorgeous red- head from Wichita Lorraine Luther. Bette Lemon ' s little sister Dorothy must be mentioned as a very charming miss. T3 T TCjT_T | The Alpha Delta Pis, headed by their HwWil. most attractive president, Marie Russel, could not help getting some lovely addi- tions to their chapter. The Alpha Chis drew from the city Helen Elsie Green, the girl with the per- sonality plus. And we can ' t overlook in our survey the charming Dorothy Mae Phillips of Colby. The Whiteford sisters of Lawrence should afford the girls of the lyre much happiness with their gracious hospitality. We thought the Delta Zetas were telling us a fish story when they mentioned Margaret Trout of Shallow Water but now that we know her we realize what a valuable addition she will be to her sorority. The A. O. Pis seem to have done quite well this year. Perhaps this is because of their clever scheme of having girls dressed as bell boys present their rushees at after- noon teas with telegrams urging them to pledge A. O. Pi. The Alpha Gams and Sigma Kappas chose a small and select group of attractive girls. Rush week has now passed, however, and broken hearts have mended. Events that never could be forgotten have already faded from the girls ' memories. The sororities are fast returning to nor- mal with such remarks as, Oh, well, I really don ' t think we would have wanted her anyway. How sour the grapes are this season! Both men and women of the Greek letter houses are finding that some of the so-called prizes really are only human, and some of the ones kept more in the background during those worried days are of the best. Listen in on the conversation of any group of actives while coking or beering (depending on the gender of said actives) in a Hill hang-out. Betty? I don ' t think she ' d have fitted in at our house at all. She doesn ' t look so cute on the Hill as she did Rush week. They ' re welcome to her. Or Bill? Say, we were damn lucky to get bumped on him. There aren ' t enough paddles in any house on this Hill to make a good freshman out of him! Give the bumps a semester ' s time and remarks like these will be obsolete. Instead these actives may speak of having Betty over f or lunch because she ' s so much fun or of taking Bill on a party with them because he ' s such a good Joe to talk (?) with. Our sincerest .sympathy goes out to those deluded youngsters who had not (Continued on page 67) OCTOBER, 1935 ACACIA BACK Row: Walton Kabler, Kingman: Marvin Cox, Kingman; Elton Carter, Elkhart; King Aitken.

The Kansan THE JAYHAWKER A Story Exposing What Goes On Behind the Scenes in the Journalism Building by JOHN R. MALONE WHEN there are no strangers, young dogs howl at the moon, runs the proverb. On the Hill the University Daily Kansan occupies the loathsome place of the moon, figuratively speaking. Daily, four thousand very young and very scrappy young dogs howl and yip at the Kansan because they can do it with glee and impunity ; because there is noth- ing else whose faults are so obvious and open to criticism. Were the chaste little paper to turn over a new leaf, as it were, and print someday a tale, slightly tinged, concern- ing Susiebeth Smythe, c ' 39, who erred without the adviser of women finding out; or to report of some professor who has been compelling his students to read the Communist Manifesto, the school would be turned inside out with trouble. Bad news and scandal travels on the wind while good tidings are carried slow. Susiebeth ' s momma and ppppa would be up to take their daughter from a school which exposed young people to such insidious evils. Three thousand newspapers would publicize the campus where subversive activity was rampant. Each afternoon and evening the news that Margaret Boast, managing editor, must chose for the Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas must not only be pleasing to all the taxpayers, legisla- tors, board of regents, and public officials in the state, but it must be suitable for four thousand students (who- are very choosey and blase) and several hundred faculty members. It becomes evident then, if howling dogs have reason, that publish- ing a state university student publication is no easy undertaking. Although Herbert A. Meyer, Jr., is publisher of the Kansan, he is directly responsible to the Kansan Board, which in cooperation with the Faculty commit- tee determines the policies of the paper The position of publisher was created only last year to keep the policies of the paper consistent throughout the semester. The publisher is chosen for a full semes- ter with the privilege of re-election while other positions on the publication are filled twice a semester. But in spite of the fact that the Kansan does not undertake to right all wrongs, to fight for social justice, et cetera, few papers in communities of four thousand persons will be found which are more newsy. To condemn the Kansan is to shut one ' s eyes to its virtues. But getting back to Miss Boast, (who, by the way, suffers many atrocious puns on her surname) we must consider her duties further. She is a busy soul who has taken up the white man ' s burden of the campus, that of seeing that the stu- dents are enlightened. She must see that three newspaper pages of news are edited and put into the proper condition for linotype operators to set up. At her right hand is the campus editor, Clyde Reed, Jr., who sits in the slot of the horseshoe-shaped copy desk and with her supervises the numerous staff of reporters, evaluates the news of the day, and gives it to the editing stu- dents seated around the outside of the table, who with soft lead pencils and shears take the outpourings of the reporters unto themselves for better, but often for worse. The reporting staff consists of students in Reporting I and Reporting II classes. The latter have regular beats over vari- ous parts of the campus and in various offices of the University. Their duty is to cover the beats every day. Report- ing I students serve as substitute reporters, general factotums, and the prettier ladies, for decoration of the generally disordered newsroom. Things begin early in the morning when the news editor, John R. Malone, another supernumerary, slips on his news nose and sniffs out the impending events which will provide news for the follow- ing morning ' s paper. He makes out what is called a Tip Sheet. Ideas and tips are written on the card in very profes- sional-appearing abbreviations. The re- porters decipher their chances for stories during the morning and early afternoon. During the day the stories are picked up by the reporters and taken back to the newsroom where they are slowly pecked out on the typewriters or else dex- terously clicked out with a professional air. All afternoon the news hounds keep the typewriters going as they put the who, why, when, where, and how into first paragraphs. Six o ' clock is the deadline, but re- ports of late meetings and happenings come in until 9 o ' clock. By a special tele- phonic arrangement, United Press news dispatches are received at 9:30. The linotype writers have gone to work at 6 in the evening in the printshop which is located below the newsroom. The operators rapidly set the mutilated, typewritten copy into columns of type. As the supply of copy runs low and there is not enough on hand to fill the paper, Ed Willeford, student printer, and make- up man hammers raucously on the tin copy chute and yells Cop y . This irritates the workers on the copy desk but it is efficient in stimulating the flow of copy to the printers. At 11:45, sometimes earlier, often later, the paper is ready to go to press. Fifteen minutes later the first papers come off the press, the editors retire to their lodgings and the pressmen begin the run. Before dawn the paper boys come for the papers. To keep the many wheels running, the problem of revenue must be met. For the second year Quentin Brown, former edi- tor of the Jayhawker and retired political boss. is capably handling the job of keeping the Kansan ' s account in black ink. Under Brown ' s direction the Kansan has been able to return to a seven-column paper from the six-column edition which was published during the very lean years. OCTOBER, 1935 35 It was mentioned earlier in this article that Miss Boast supervised three pages of the paper. The fourth is managed by the editor-in-chief. Reds, war, politics, library steps, and other momentous but involved subjects are left to Bill Rodgers, editor- in-chief for the first half -semester. It is Bill, who with the aid of associate editors, Melvin Harlin and Russ Chezem, unravels the most worrysome subjects and suc- cinctly tells the herd what is going on. It is Rodger ' s rather difficult task to draw the line between reds and red-baiting as a policy of the paper. This year the newsroom is under the supervision of Albert A. Sutton, who is finishing up work on his master of arts degree. He came to the University from Wichita. He has worked for the Emporia Gazette and Wichita Eagle. A second change in this year ' s teaching staff occurred when Edward N. Doan was appointed as instructor in journalism to fill the vacancy left by Dr. Helen O. Mahin, who is on sick leave. Mr. Doan is adviser of the editorial department and teaches several classes. He received his bachelor ' s degree from Ohio Wesleyan College, his master ' s degree from Wis- consin. He was the first teacher of journal- ism at the University of Porto Rico. He came to the University from Bradley Poly- technic Institute at Peoria, Illinois. He has had practical experience on the Cleveland Plaindealer and other Ohio papers. Professor L. N. Flint became head of the department in 1915 when Merle Thorpe, then chairman, was appointed editor of Nation ' s Business. Mr. Flint makes it his duty to see that Kansas journalism graduates get all possible breaks when the time comes for going out into the cold world. W. A. Dill, associate professor of journalism, was formerly supervisor of the newsroom. However, his duties as director of the K. U. News Bureau, in addition to his teaching duties, became too heavy, even for this curly-haired human dynamo. Professor Dill is probably the most prolific writer on the Hill. When the Kansan has a lean day or the re- porters go AWOL to study for exams or other activity, the paper becomes prin- cipally from the keyboard of Professor Dill ' s typewriter. Jack Kistler, assistant professor and superintendent of the Department of Journalism Press, is one of the very prac- tical and likeable persons in the depart- ment. His knowledge of printing is equalled by few men. Dr. Alfred M. Lee, now an associate professor in the department of sociology, teaches classes in introductory journal- ism. Last year he taught full time in the journalism department. Sigma Delta Chi, professional journal- istic fraternity, and Theta Sigma Phi, journalistic sorority, both have chapters in the department. The K. U. Press Club is also sponsored by the department. The latter is composed of all students enrolled in the department and has for its presi- dent this year Rex Woods, who writes On the Shin, a daily column of unim- portant important news. The Kansan Board is composed of Margaret Boast, Hub Meyer, Harry Valentine, Rutherford B. Hayes, Quentin Brown, and Bill Rodgers. Other active students are: Allen Merriam, Alice Cosandier, Hugh Hadley, Shirley Jones, Chet Hannm, Horace Ma- son, Don Huls, Ruth Stoland and Lester Combs, Jr. The Kansan serves as a laboratory for the budding journalists of the University, and naturally it follows that as in any laboratory there will be a considerable amount of trial and error experimenta- tion. The staff and sponsors vary the makeup of the paper and the headline style from time to time in order to deter- mine how the news may be most effec- tively brought to the attention of the reading public. Likewise, the editorial policies are occasionally altered as campus situations demand. Typical of this was the exposure period of last winter when the Hearst influence was dominant. (Continued on page 76) -- Sorority Coalitions Exist M 2!K,i g 1I | Despite Repeated Denials .V_ A MEMORABLE ISSUE GETTING NEWS GETTING FT STRAIGHT THE JAYHAWKER HILL HANGOUTS by Gene Lloyd THE weary college student props himself in a battered booth. He looks around for a few of his brothers. Fry two for me, Jack, and he relaxes into deep concentration. Four coeds enter and begin the everlasting process of powder- ing their noses. They have four cokes, swap a few lies about their latest flame, and they are gone. Two alumni open the door and peer curiously in to see how the old place looks after five years. They shake their heads, sigh audibly and go back to their car to talk over the times when they were in the State U. Finally the door swings open with a loud crash and fifteen men fight for the front booths. Frat meeting is over and it is time for the nightly drink and sandwich. No, this isn ' t a recent or any new happening at all. It has been going on ever since the University has been in existence. Way back in the days when the school was nothing but two buildings and a so- called campus, the students had their hang- outs. Old Swede ' s was a popular joint for the class of ' 01. And, judging from the tales and the deeds of alumnae who return to the dear old Alma Mater for the football games, Old Swede ' s and its larger progeny must have been the scene of some high old times. College students come and go, but always we have hangouts. Some rise and fall in the course of a few years. A few endure, standing the test of time -by fulfilling the needs and desires of the students. Today we have the Jayhawk, Weidemann ' s, The Blue Mill, Hillside Drug, Coe ' s Drug, and many other places of similar importance. Every evening they are filled with students clamoring for attention and filled orders. The name of Weidemann has been on the lips of students at the University for the past sixty years. It has been a favored spot for furnishing those five-pound boxes of candy, and the soft drinks that have been popular. Today, under the able direction of Dick Wagstaff, Weidemann ' s is still one of the spots. Its attractive walnut booths, tile floors, and cooling system keep it well among the leaders for popularity. Every Friday and Saturday evening, the club room is filled with fraternity men talking over their intricate problems, and yes, even the ladies, fie upon them, are there en masse. The back room of Weidemann ' s holds a charm for students of the Hill, which is almost without equal. The soft lights, the iced libations, and the congeniality of the crowd usually assembled there seem to promote a spirit of conviviality which is heart- lifting and sometimes even hair-raising. The large, time-worn and much-used Steinway, which is almost hidden in the gloom of one corner, is always a center of attraction. There is always some jovial musician at least, someone jovial to play the piano. And in the wee small hours, when merriment runs high and inhibitions low, there are even those who play on the piano. Let ' s make another spot. We stop in front of Hillside Drug. Cars are lined up in front waiting for curb service. Quince is busy trying to make the rounds, and Bill is busy inside at the fountain doing his best to take care of all the cokes and short limes. This is one of the well-liked stop- ping places, because the students can be served in their cars. Here they can hear their own radios aand take advantage of a little privacy. Bill is always ready to serve the students and help them out in every way. Freshmen find another special use for the Hillside. Everyone parks outside for refreshment and so it is usually a safe place for pledges to go into to enjoy those dates which are forbidden by vigilant actives. The shelter of the Hillside booths has protected many a neophyte from a paddle or a campus. We head on down Ninth street and up Massachusetts to the Blue Mill. Here, Charlie Long and his cohorts spend their hours pushing out drinks and brownies. Here, on Sunday nights, the students flock before and after the show to get that final bite before getting on the books. About ten years ago, Charlie ' s place was nothing but a small niche in the wall. Year by year he has enlarged it, until now it serves as one of the largest eating establishments. This is really the melting pot for stu- dents. Everyone goes into the Mill just to see who else is there. It is a favorite rendezvous for the so-called big shot politicians to do their palavering. We could not forget the Jayhawk Cafe, which is now under control of Carl Clifton and Clyde Burns. This is a favor- ite after dance eating place. The important foods are hamburger and steak sandwiches and malted milks. This is the hangout for the Beta chapter, God bless ' em, and the Kappa Sigs. We can ' t figure how the Kappa Sigs always find their way home, but they will all be there. The Jayhawk is also clubhouse for the barbs. The Jayhawk after-closing hours delivery service is a boon to those gals who don ' t manage to chisel enough food out of their dates. (And how we wish we knew some!) This par- ticular service is indeed a tricky business. An attendant, laden with sandwiches and cokes, trudges down to a sorority house. He stops under a specified window, whistling a signal and peering up hopefully. (This part might be fun.) After an eon of waiting the window is opened cautiously, and several heads appear. A laundry bag, containing some change which usually isn ' t right, is lowered on a cord and he slips the food into it. The bag is pulled up and, after many giggles and whispered thankyous, the window closed. Jayhawk attendants should, at least, be in good training for late dates. Coe ' s Drug Store is also one of thq local eating and drug establishments that is listed on the students roll call of fa- vorites. The location of the store gives students more of an advantage to get away from the crowd. Take for instance Charlie Brown and Daisy Hoffman. We are not for advertis- ing anything, but two out of three times, you will find Charlie and Daisy busily engaged in conversation at Coe ' s. The deliv- ery service that this company offers is also of great advantage to those who wish to remain at home to get in those few hours OCTOBER, 1935 37 THE SLUE MILL COE ' S WIEDEMANN ' S THE HILL SIDE THE JAYHAWK of extra study. Coe ' s is the hang-out for the Sigma Chis, particu- larly for those who must breakfast out because of over-sleeping. It is always well stocked with tomato juice. These are not the only places that are inhabited by stu- dents. Bricks should be mentioned in the list. Bricks has changed management several times in the past few years, yet it always .seems to remain as one of the leaders. Here, during dance intermissions, we may find most of the Hill try- ing hurriedly to get a drink before their time is all gone. The student Memorial Union is liked because of the bridge-playing facilities. The law students have to have their cup of coffee and roll every morning, too. Pi Phi meetings are held every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday at 10:30. The basement room of Bricks is the Hill orchestra hang-out. Here are held those famous musician ' s shelalies. Those who are lucky enough to gain entrance to this room will find it to be a place of lasting interest. The walls are decorated with cartoons and cracks about Hill personalities, Hill happenings and even Hill scandal. There are instruments scattered about, tables and chairs for comfort, and a working desk. Here college musicians may relax and enjoy themselves, working and playing together in congenial good-fellowship. Thus we can see, that even if K. U. does not have its Black and Gold, and its Palms and Cornhusker, we still have our favorite haunts and appreciate them just as much as the other colleges and universities do. The owners of the establishments give the students every advantage and in return receive the patronage and good will of everyone. THE JAYHAWKER They Toil Not, Neither Do They Spin; But They Rate Higher on the Campus Than Those Who Burn the Midnight Oil T seems that every year about this time we must have the old stock story con- cerning people you find on the campus. Now, I know you ' re tired of it, but that ' s because you ' re tired of seeing Bill rushing around the campus trying to give the impression that he is the Chancellor ' s right-hand man, and Henry hanging on your lapels to help you con- centrate on listening to him give a heart- rending recitation of how K. U. is being undermined by the capitalistic system, while tugging at the lobe of your other ear is Frank with an indignant tale of students sent here by the Comintern direct from Moscow for the express pur- pose of bombing the Union Building dur- ing a Varsity. Such articks as this justify their existence (I suppose ask the edi- tor) by an attempt at edification of our newcomers, who might otherwise take someone seriously. First, there is Joe Snooks. Joe is every- body ' s friend. A very helpful fellow to have around, too. No problem is too inconsequential to merit his attention, or so momentous that he cannot be .relied upon to handle it with minimum effici- ency. (Editor ' s note: he probably means maximum.) (Author ' s note: who ' s writ- ing this?) Now I would not go so far as to allude to Joe as a ten-cent politician but some people do. Joe is very much in evidence at Varsities, where he goes only because of a sense of duty. You see, it wouldn ' t be doing right by our coeds if Joe didn ' t put in his duty appear- ance. For the same reason he always tries to get a seat near the front in the Blue Mill so he can speak to everyone who comes in. He has done this so well for three years that a few people actually don ' t believe we could get along without Joe. If you can ' t recognize Joe when you see him from the foregoing description, there is one infallible method of identifying him. A feeling of warmth is created by his pres- ence. This is due to hot air. Thelma Throttlebottom is not likely to bother you unless you were unfortu- nate enough to pledge Sig Rho. Thelma is the Sig Rho sweetheart. Besides the particular affection that she holds for a favored one or two, or maybe three, a platonic motherly love exists between the rest of the chapter and herself. Well, r anyway, she does her part. Of course, we can ' t overlook the fact that she used to have a Psi Delt pin from Wash- burn, and that she deserted her Sig Rho boys for a couple of Zetas at Boulder this summer, but youth must have its fling. To compensate for the undue amount of time she devotes to the lucky Sig Rhos, she is always on hand to entertain the sisters ' dates while they are waiting. With the same motherly touch, she guides the destines of her fel- low students by engaging in politics. And the amazing thing is, she finds time to carry courses on the Hill. Limited space does not permit going into detail concerning the consequences of association with these types, which, with variations, are the most vicious which will be encountered. In all fair- ness to those not familiar with local cus- tom concerning solutions of this problem, however, we should note in passing the type of defense used against Joe and Thelma. Experience has shown that when they make themselves obnoxious a subtle by CARL SMITH way of denoting your displeasure and general disagreement with their princi- ples and precepts is a noise made by pursing the lips and emitting a sound like that of tearing cloth. This has been known to discourage even the most per- sistent. Another to whose influence the young innocent with the bloom of youth on his cheek is often subjected is that enigma of high-water pants and profound philosophies, at least one of whom can be found in every house on the Hill. His raiment from tip to toe reflects the influ- ence of Esquire, from the tie that streams over his shoulder like the flag of the Chinese army in attack formation as he flashes by on the campus, to the latest in inverted rhinoceros-skin triple- tested manila rope soled shoes. But, mais, and aber beneath this seeming frivolous shell lies the profundity of an Einstein, the keen perception of a taxi driver, and the silver tongue of a Disraeli. From this ambiguity issue words of wisdom as from an oracle of old, if you take his word for it. But of course even you callow youths of noted naivete are too callous to be swayed by his speci- ous oratory. You will as a matter of course develop distastes similar to ours with the passing of years, and may, even as your humble writer, develop an aversion to yourself. Few who are of sufficient intelligence to remain outside the cloistered walls of Osawatomie can remain long exposed to the K. U. atmosphere with- out becoming a misanthropist. So to our tryros, may this serve as an admoni to my hardened, patriots, may this dedicate us to our avowal to stamp out all menaces. In short, Down With (Reader fill in blank.) nos, may this y U monition, and j i, cynical com- lis serve to re- OCTOBER, 1935 Trouble shooters The Dean ' s Job is to Help the Students Solve the Many Problems of College Life by CHALLIS HALL TTTHEN it becomes necessary for a f T problem to be solved or advice to be received about extra-curricular activi- ties, students consult either Miss Eliza- beth Meguiar or Dean Henry Werner. Although their respective titles, Adviser of Women and Adviser of Men, are modest, the complexity and diversity of student life tends to complicate their duties as advisers. Advising students is only one of their duties. Each serves on a list of committees pertaining to social and extra-curricula activities so long that it would stagger a liberal bureaucrat. Besides having their guidance in matters of social nature, students are fortunate in having them as classroom instructors as well. In private life, the Adviser of Women is Miss Elizabeth Meguiar. She brings all the grace, charm, and hospitality of the old South to her office. She is a native Kentuckian and was born in Louisville, the center of the blue grass region. She has a genuine southern accent and pro- nounces Louisville only as a Southerner can. Her college preparatory work was completed at Science Hill School for Girls, Shelbyville, Kentucky. Miss Me- guiar remarks with pride that it is the oldest school for girls in the South. After finishing there, she matriculated at the University of Chicago and started her major in home economics. From the Uni- versity of Chicago she went east to teach in the Department of Home Economics at Pennsylvania College. For three years Miss Meguiar expounded the virtues of efficient home management at Perm State. At the end of her third year she was asked to be an instructor of home economics at Chicago University. Sickness prevented her from finishing her first year at Chicago. She then taught at the University of Texas from 1914 to 1917. In the spring of 1917, she left Texas and started teaching home economics in the fall of 1918 at Kansas University. Last spring she was appointed Adviser of Women to succeed Dean Agnes Hus- band. At present she is teaching home decoration, home architecture, and cloth- ing courses in the Home Economics De- partment. The aim of her office has been to promote a spirit of harmony and to coordinate social and extra-curricula activities of women. The aim of her de- partment for this year is to smooth out some wrinkles in the new rushing rules, which were inaugurated this fall. Miss Meguiar now serves on the fol- lowing committees: Freshman Week Committee, Student Interests Committee, Jayhawker Advisory Board, and Honors and Prizes Committee. Her office directs employment for women students, super- vises living conditions for the women, and has direct charge of Corbin Hall, Watkins Hall, and the University Cooperative House for Women. The Dean ' s office also authorizes all social affairs of each Hill organization and makes up the University social calendar. The office of the Men ' s Student Ad- viser is an essential and very valuable branch of the University of Kansas. This office provides a center of advice and in- formation to all men students. The aid and assistance given to new students and DEAN WERNER the advice given to older students by the Men ' s Student adviser is invaluable. The able manager of the problems of this office is Dean Henry Werner. Dean Werner is a native of England. He has acquired a keen insight into human nature through his experiences and con- tacts at large. Among his relaxations and hobbies he lists fishing as the most im- portant. He is especially fond of smoking his pipe. This summer Dean Werner took time off and vacationed a bit in jolly old England. From his English trip he brings back to add to his repertoire of stories and jokes a few puns and quips about England. Separating the wheat from the MISS MEGUIAR chaff was a problem but from the list comes the following story: The domestic water in certain sections of England is very salty. In fact, says Dean Werner, it is so salty that bathtubs have leather belts attached crosswise to the rim of the tub so that person in the tub will not float on the surface of the water, but will be held underneath, much as an aviator is held in place by a safety belt, thus making it easier to bathe. And furthermore, reports this modern Paul Bunyan, if the bather is not careful to ease himself out of the tub after loosening the belt, he is apt to find himself catupulted out of the tub on the floor. Turning to the more serious part of his life at Kansas University- we find that behind his affable disposition and seeming nonchalance Dean Werner is a very important and busy man. He is a diplomat, confidant, humorist, and chemist rolled into one personality. It is his duty to see that student life as a whole is running smoothly, and that stu- dent organizations are functioning. He advises and instructs bewildered students. He attends committee meetings and teaches classes in chemistry. His capacity for work has been developed largely from his experiences and doings in the past. Dean Werner has studied in the Liver- pool Technical School, the University of Liverpool and the Physikalisher Verein in Frankfort, Germany. He came to the University of Kansas in 1920 and received (Continued on page 81) 40 THE JAYHAWKER Dictapators Dealing With the Purpose and Functions of the M. S. C. and the Program of the New Regime by FRANKLIN D. MURPHY PREVIOUS to last year the voting of some twelve hundred men in their annual student election was considered an unusual expression of interest on the part of Kansas men in self-government. Nineteen hundred thirty-five, the same year that a rapidly changing economic and political picture in the United States caused a great and increasing interest on the part of the electorate in national affairs, marked an unprecedented interest in men self-government at K. U. For in the election of last spring the traditionally accepted voting maximum was stepped up to the surprising total of eighteen hundred votes when the last ballot had been counted a rise of over thirty per cent. This at once places Kansas Uni- versity in a very enviable position, for few, if any, American cities can boast of an eighty per cent voting population. It is the purpose of this brief article to inquire into the exact nature of this self- government so obviously successful in arousing unusual interest in student affairs. Why this interest? Surely the overwhelming vote was not a reaction to the traditional political campaigns of years past with their delightfully amusing side lights as regards the presentation of platforms and other empty ballyhoo. As early as January, 1935, there burst on the political horizon a group known as the Progressive Student Government League challenging the Society of Pachacamac, long the control- ling factor in K. U. student government. As far as the students were concerned, the League might have been just another hurriedly constructed political party and the possibilities for another stupid cam- paign were in sight. Then began a unique campaign. The Progressive Student Government League, quickly shortened to P.S.G.L., announced their candidates after what they termed an intensive survey by ballot of the male students. Pachacamac ' s nominations were before the student body soon after and the time was ripe for the usual flow of literary tripe but the multi-colored handbills were not forthcoming. The Hill awoke one morning to learn that the plat- forms, as well as the candidates of the rival organizations, were to be presented to the student body by means of formal debate. For the first time in the memory of this writer, the candidates for presi- dent of the Men ' s Student Council explained their stand as well as their party ' s stand in reference to their respec- tive platforms and aims. The interest in this illuminating discussion was evi- denced by the attendance of some nine hundred Kansas men at least the stu- dent electorate at K. U. had been moved to express itself in regard to policy. Instead of endeavoring to stuff student- government down the throats of the stu- dents who make it possible, the leaders complimented their respective followings by putting it on the basis of reason. The actual election reaffirmed the sug- gestion that unusual interest had been aroused, for, as mentioned above, eighteen hundred men cast their ballots in one of the closet, yet cleanest, elections in recent years. When the smoke of battle cleared, eleven representatives of Pachacamac, eleven representativs of P. S. G. L., and one independent had been elected to posi- tions in the Men ' s Student Council, only a five-vote margin separating the rival can- didates for the presidency after a recount had been taken. The men chosen to lead the council were Lyman Field, president; George Wright, vice-president; Herbert Sizemore, secretary; and Logan Lane, treasurer. These men, as well as the other members of the council, represent both parties, both platforms and are the recipi- ents of the largest male vote ever cast in an annual election of this nature. With the council so evenly divided the politicians are dubious and have already forecasted a stormy year but the opinion of this writer is that the following pro- gram of action as outlined by President Field should warrant the serious non- political and courageous actions of the council members, not as representatives of rival political parties but as individuals endeavoring to alleviate and improve irregular and unsatisfactory conditions as pertain to their University. The University of Kansas is steeped in tradition. A pi oneer school in a pioneer country, it has come up through the years proud of various symbols and activities indicative of a rich and enthusi- astic heritage. It is the function and important pur- pose of the Men ' s Student Council to increase as well as sustain the interest of Jayhawkers in their traditions.

Freshman Induction, and many others all are definite traditions upheld by the Men ' s Student Council. This phase of university activity is of sufficient impor- tance as to warrant a special Council Committee, and this Traditions Commit- tee occupies an important place in Uni- versity affairs. It is of value that the various forces in University administration be in contact with similar groups in other uni- versities and colleges the country over, for from these contacts come new ideas and thoughts to innoculate static condi- tions in university life. The Men ' s Stu- dent Council is an active participant in the National Student Federation of America, composed of student governing bodies throughout the United States. It was then a fortunate thing that K. U. should be chosen the school to entertain this group at their annual meeting to be held during the month of December in Kansas City. This gathering gives the students of K. U. the opportunity to extend through their representatives, the Council, a hearty welcome and best wishes to the student bodies of many other American Universities. The present Council must prepare an interesting and pleasing program for the N. S. F. A. delegates and it is their intention to make this meeting a memorable one. The necessity for personal relations between professor and student in a large institution such as this, is quite apparent to all. Inside the class room certain definite business must be discharged by both teacher and pupil and personal con- tact in these large classes is out of the question. It has long been the aim of the Council to promulgate a program by which this relation might become an important and effective force in the liberalizing of the student education. In order to allow for such a relationship, the Student Forum has been suggested and its organization and application is to be an important council function during the coming years. The Council Committee on Forums composed of individuals repre- senting different schools of thought on the Hill is desirous of creating discussion groups led by Hill professors on a sub- ject with which they are well acquainted. These discussions are planned to be in the nature of very informal talks, questions, and answers. This should get away from the class room relation and the student shall have a chance to associate with his teacher in a particularly personal fashion. The committee also plans to bring to this campus important national figures in the field of economics, politics, eugenics, religion, and other factors of common interest. These men and women would not appear only for a talk and then leave but would rather develop a discussion between themselves and the students. Here again there would be the oppor- tunity to discuss pertinent problems in an unusually personal manner. When prob- lems arise to confront the student body (Continued on ' 9 BOYS WE DO IT WITH FORUMS AT K. U. THE JAYHAWKER Why not pay our athletes? A Timely Problem Faced by Ameri- ca ' s Colleges is Frankly Discussed by VERNON VOORHEES L T A TIME in the not- . too -distant past , _- iy. when athletes in CJ I ' general, and foot- 1 ' 7 Vfj ball players in far particular, went out and gave their all simply for Alma Mammy, there was no complex system of recruiting players, providing them with scholarships and workless jobs. Times have changed; we are now living in that great modern age when college is a center of social and athletic endeavor and when athletes are bought and sold like state senators. Yet our athletic directors seem blind to the very obvious necessity of getting good material to make a good team, and refuse on a moral basis to engage in such vulgar practices as taking care of their boys. When we proudly gaze upon that great monument to van- ity, and stupidity, designed for some odd reason or other, to seat half of the people in Kansas, it is high time we called a spade a spade. There is only one way we can utilize it and pay for it, and that way is to stimulate an interest in our team. It is a matter of history that for nigh on to ten years now Kansas has had good teams they have fought well and managed to hold the others to a minimum of touch- downs and we have almost beaten Nebraska, those mighty men from the north, who at the present are planning to beat Kansas with the help of two Kansas players. Last year we saw the possible heights to which enthusiasm could be pushed, when just prior to the game with Nebraska the student body evidenced a desire to have our team beat the Corn- huskers, and this desire quickly worked itself into a frenzy which no doubt affected the mental attitude of the team since their showing on the field of play was not short of heroic. I say a good football team is as essen- tial to the high standing and success of a university today as is the faculty or the administration this statement being borne out by the recent experience of one of our neighbor institutions where the sterile condition of football led to a general lack of interest concerning the school and threatened to reduce it to the level of a small denominational institu- tion. Now with a revived interest in athletics we see also a spark of new life in the university itself. But as was mentioned, it is very dis- appointing to have to be satisfied with a mere display of heroic effort and game- ness against insurmountable odds. After many years of up and down success in football, I believe, there is a general feel- ing among the students and the alumni of the University for a new deal in athle- tics at Kansas. It is reasonable to con- tend that if we are going to keep on spotting other schools, in the Big Six and elsewhere, an advantage to begin with by having consistantly poor teams, then we are also going to lose yardage in school spirit, interest, standing attendance and all the other parts which combine to form the whole University. If it may be considered morally proper to pay a monthly salary to a dance manager a job which remains a prize plum to Hill politics; if we can see the moral virtue of paying the editor of our year book and the business manager a monthly salary for a job which certainly is just as much an obligation of school spirit as playing on the football team, and of more disputable value, and when it becomes necessary from the point of view of the athletic department to move the students of the University from their rightful place in the stadium to a less desirable spot; for many reasons less de- sirable, simply in order that our dear and prominent alumni from points not far distant may enjoy the choicest seats and remain pacified, win or lose, the time has come for us to get into the spirit of the thing and get athletics off the amateur basis. If the athletic director can, with a clear conscience, carry out such a scheme, and if the administration can, with no qualms, sanction the paying of students engaged in less worthwhile activities, then I say let ' s quit bluff- ing, enter into this problem from a business viewpoint, go out and get the good athletes, make it worth their while to attend our Uni- versity, and provide them with good instructions in the art of the game. If this were done on a large scale by an a g- gressive and alert athle- tic depart- ment, the result would inevitably be a fine team which would create a new and greater interest in athletics, not only among the students, but also among the alumni who figure so powerfully in the advancement of the interests of the Uni- versity. This increased interest would be a great stimulating force driving the name of Kansas to new heights. It pays to have good athletes, as the fraternities have found out, and they point with pride to their Bauschs, Cun- inghams, and Halls, yet the school benefits more directly than do the fra- ternities. No one can deny the fact that Glenn Cunningham greatly stimulated a wide interest in Kansas University, and a great team could do much more. It seems a tragic thing that we have not believed in this idea enough to push it to its logical conclusion and derive the great benefits as other more progressive institutions have done. Why not pay our athletes and let the administration put away this psuedo, self assuming moral virtue which causes them to shun the idea? The athletes are as temperamental as movie stars and are not to be persuaded by high sounding phrases, but rather by cash on the barrel head. Let ' s pay our athletes, let ' s go out and get the bes t, and let Kansas be known among men as a school which fos- ters athletes and the spirit of sportsman- ship in a businesslike manner. ESCAPE ran away from the plains, To the mountains. I ran from those Unto the sea. But I could not Escape the earth. Cornelia Ann Miller OCTOBER, 1935 The new student induction The Class of ' 39 is Formally Made a Part of the University in the Impressive Initiation Ceremony 43 by GILBERT SMITH SELDOM is there an occasion so ab- solutely magnificent and enthralling that it can hold the interest of an entire group of young men and women for an hour and a half. Every student in attend- ance at the Twelfth Annual , New Stu- dent Induction held the night of October 1st was engrossed in the spirit of the occasion. They were eager to enter into the spirit of the thing to be a definite and internal part of a great institution. It was in 1854 that the first pioneers visited what is now known as Mt. Oread and camped for the night. As they sat and stood around their campfire, located on the same spot where the class of ' 39 gathered around the fire basket, they de- cided to commemorate Lawrence to tem- perance, liberty, and education. They talked over the possibilities of a great educational institution to be erected on the spot. Their vision came to pass, and a university was situated on what is now known as North College Hill. So it was that in 1924 when plans were being dis- cussed for an induction service for new students, it was decided that each year the educational flame should be relighted on this spot. The fire basket was adopted in 1928 and is symbolic of the beginning of the university. Obviously the place was not adequate for an entire induction ser - ice so it was decided that the remainder should be held in the stadium where everyone might be seated. The lighting of the torch by a member of Mortar Board, senior women ' s honor or- ganization and the relaying of it from North College Hill around the campus by members of Sachem, senior men ' s honor society, symbolized the changing of the institution from the old to the new location where a new fire is lighted. From this fire a new torch is lighted and relayed to the stadium where it is passed down the classes to the representative of the freshman class, who accepts it and lights the alter. This is symbolic of the accepting of the responsibility to carry on the spirit and traditions of the university by the incoming class. The seal of the university depicts Moses kneeling by the burning bush. The very sight of this seal inspires a per- son to greater deeds but when it is explained so beautifully by Miss Hannah Oliver, professor emeritus of Latin, the emotion felt is even greater. The flame of fire in the midst of the bush represents the light of knowledge and of truth, for the attainment of which the university exists. This light is never to be extin- guished; its source is unfailing and divine. The kneeling figure, near the bush, portrays the humble and reverent attitude of the spirit that befits any scholar as he draws near to learn the sacred things which the university has to offer. This design of the seal was chosen by the first chancellor of the school, Reverend R. W. Oliver, and it was adopted by the Board of Regents in 1866. THE FBESHMAH INDUCTION CEREMONY The repeating of the Athenian Oath follows the interpretation of the seal. This Oath is one of the most beautiful and striking of any ever composed. A new light burns in every member present as it is finished as though everything has suddenly been illumined. Ambition now prevails where before it was merely hope. The student has found the true spirit of the university. He has found that he is now something greater than he is able to explain. He feels finer all over from hav- ing experienced such a service. To conclude the service the Alma Mater is sung and the Rock Chalk echoes down the valley. Certainly there could be no more appropriate finale to such a sen-ice. There are two items with which no school in the country can hope to compete. The first is the beautiful significance of the seal with the student stating, I shall see that great vision. The second, the chant of the Rock Chalk. It reaches deeper into the life of the stu- dent than any other experience. Words fail one only feels his solemn obliga- tion to perpetuate the tradition of the University. -M THE JAYHAWKER Big shots K. U. Personalities We All Get to Know in Cutting Through a Maze of Red Tape by J. HUBERT ANDERSON WANTED: By the students of the University of Kansas, a workable red tape cutter for use at the beginning of each school year. Words of patience and tolerant expla- nations no longer avail. The student body, weary of waiting in many lines, will not listen. It doesn ' t do any good to tell them that they would gladly have stood in a KARL KLOOZ line several blocks longer than any of those which coiled through the Admin- istration building during registration and fee-paying time had they been waiting to pay cash for a World Series ticket in Detroit or Chicago this fall. After all, there isn ' t much sense in comparing this to seeing Lon War- neke pitch against Schoolboy Rowe, stated one of the lads. Of course, he continued, the guy who is first in the line at the ball park every year could give us some very fine ideas here. I un- derstand that he lugs with him a cot, some lunch, and his shaving outfit. We can describe this pessimist ' s case as a combination of weariness, disgust, and hot weather. He was probably the fellow who had waited two hours to reach the head of the line, only to find that he had forgotten a very important card, and had had to go home for the missing evidence. What he needed was a personal in- terview with George O. Foster, our amiable registrar, whose welcome confirms the Come In that is painted on his office door. Mr. Foster would have sym- pathized with him, and then thanked him for his aid to the university by being one of the several thousand assistants to the registrar ' s office. It would be a Herculean task for our office force to fill out the string of cards which each one of you receives, he ex- plains. Instead, we have as many clerks doing that work as there are students in GEOHGE O. FOSTER RAYMOND NICHOLS school. Each of you becomes my assist- ant during registration. Mr. Foster is a veteran observer of Jayhawker history in the making. He has seen the faculty increase from thirty- six to three hundred members. When he first came to Mount Oread three build- ings housed less than a thousand stu- dents. Now, there are twenty-seven build- ings, and a new enrollment mark of 4,255 students, was set this fall. I came to the University in the 90 ' s, Mr. Foster recalled. For several years I was clerk under Dr. F. H. Snow. In 1897 I enrolled in the freshman class and at the same time was promoted to the position of registrar. For four years I went to school and worked on the side. He received his degree in 1901, but he could not shake off his attachment for the Hill, and from then until now he has been keeper of the deeds of more than 45,000 students. Ask him to show you some of the first office records, and he will obligingly pull forth a single volume which covers several decades. In it are painstakingly written in ink the scant information that was taken in those early days. In 1875 William E. Borah, who now represents Idaho in the United States Senate, was registered in the freshman class. Twelve years later, William Allen White had his name inscribed. The entries do not include more than the years of attendance and the courses in which the students were enrolled, so incomplete are the handwritten items. But waiting to help Mr. Foster and his workers in registration is not the only cause for our standing in line. On down the hall is the business office, where students and their money come to a parting whenever there are fees to be paid. Genial Karl Klooz, the bursar, is the man in charge of our commercial rela- tionships with the University, and no small task is his. Three-quarters of a million dollars pass through the money- bags and must be accounted for each year. All the receipts of the University, including fees, student organization accounts, loan funds and scholarships, and athletic association accounts, are remitted to the state treasurer by him, and in turn are redrawn from there. OCTOBER, 1935 45 All appropriations are handled through his office, either by payrolls or by con- sumers ' accounts. And just because your fees amounted to $34.25 this semester, don ' t think the school must be realizing a profit by your being here. On an aver- age, tuition and fees represent about twenty-five per cent of the annual bud- get: the remaining seventy-five per cent must come from the state appropriations. Mr. Klooz has been watching the dol- lars roll in and out since 1912. From then until now, with the . exception of the years 1916 and 1917, when he was not with the school, he has run a modern business office and served on innumerable university committees. And he says that in that time he has had much practice in penning his name. From twenty-five to thirty thousand of his autographs are signed each year on letters, orders, and checks. His most difficult job is his duty as a member of the residence committee, which must pass on the many petitions of those students wishing to avoid paying out-of-state fees. About forty per cent of the claims are allowed, but Mr. Klooz says that Baron Munchausen in his prime would have paled to hear an occasional piece of fiction that is offered at times by a favor-seeker. Mr. Klooz has a half dozen assistants on his staff, among whom is lanky Charlie McCreight, better known as Mac to the thousands of students who have watched him stack their five and ten-dollar bills into neat piles. As treasurer of all stu- dent activity and organization accounts, he is Banker McCreight; and some say no banker was ever more of a stickler for rules than is Charlie when some one wants to draw out money in a hurry. Mac played his football for the Lawrence Business College, and today he is rated as one of the best Central Ad quarterbacks the Hill has seen. He is no howling wolf about the sports, but athle- tics are merely one of the many Hill activities with which he is thoroughly familiar. If people did not know differ- ently, they would think him to be a stu- dent today, so up-to-date is his informa- tion about what ' s going on. Another post which Mac holds is that of ticket-taker at all varsities. He handles the pasteboards like a veteran concessionaire, and when the last cus- tomer seems to have come, he sometimes goes in with his wife to enjoy the dance. Mac takes his exercise on the golf course, and thos e who are not green about the sport say he plays the game in a fair way. (Terrible puns, aren ' t they?) At any rate, no one has accused him of having less methematical ability when he adds his score card than when he is check- ing fees. All the boys are of the same opinion that he is a good fellow, both at the nineteenth hole and behind the money tilb. On the floor above Mr. Klooz ' sanctum is a suite of offices numbered 223 Admin- istration, from whence Chancellor Lind- ley directs Mount Oread affairs. Should you have business in those offices, many times you will not see the Chancellor at all, but will have your affairs efficiently handled by Raymond Nichols, the ac- commodating secretary, who not so long ago was a student himself. Ask Mr. Nichols what you would know about the University. As secre- tary he is in contact with the faculty, the department heads, the deans, the admin- istrati on offices, and the public. When- ever alumni gather, he is Ray Nichols, A. MB. FOSTER POINTS OUT THE PITFALLS. B., ' 26; M. A., ' 28. Your K Book will inform you that he was Honor Man in 1927. Both barb and Greek during his student days, he was editor of the Kansan and of the Jayhawker, and he belonged to the Owl society and Sachem. His memberships on committees seem almost as all-inclusive as the list of port- folios held by Mussolini in the Italian cabinet. A few of the groups in which he acts are the committees for Freshman Initiation, Activities, Convocations, Late Fees, Dad ' s Day, and the Jayhawker Ad- visory Board. No long line of impatient students forms outside his office door, but his contacts with them occur regularly throughout the year. His informal man- ners, his genuine hospitality, and his real interest in each one whom he meets must cause all to think, We ' re glad we have met Ray, and we hope we may have the opportunity to see him regularly during the year. Notice: The want-ad for a red tape cut- ter which was posted a few hours ago was unwarranted and uncalled for. It is not inconceivable after meeting our silent partners, the registrar, the bursar, and the chancellor ' s secretary, that, except for the convention of respect, we would be hailing them as George and Karl and Ray, knowing they do not spin this despised red tape, but rather, that they help us through its mazes, real and imaginary.

AMES -Ifi THE JAYHAWKER Track of 1935 Season Closes With No Visible Trophies, But Many Good Scores Are Chalked Up by JAMES F. PORTER THE curtain is falling slowly on the track season of 1935. There will be one meet left for the Jayhawkers, but it will not be much more than an epilogue. Not an epilogue to a tragedy, for K. U. track did not die though it did suffer a relapse. Nor an epilogue to a com- edy, for the Crimson and Blue clad ath- letes were certainly not clowns on the cinders. Rather, it is an epilogue that will perhaps give a hint to the scenes behind the curtain of the 1936 track season. Kansas won no track championships last year. Nearly all of the victorious 1934 squad had graduated, leaving Coach Homer Woodspn Bill Hargiss with a squad of incipient sophomore stars-to-be to work with. He worked with them, or they worked with him which- ever you choose. The result was not vis- ible in trophies, but in good scores in meets where experienced schools did not win by too large a margin from the game young blades. Elwyn Dees, senior, captained his younger cohorts and showed them the art of shot putting. It was Dees who was individual high point man in scoring. It was Dees, who for the second consecutive year established a new conference record in heaving the sixteen pound shot put. It was this same husky, broad-shouldered lad who was never defeated by a confer- ence opponent in three years of compe- tition, winning three Big Six indoor shot put events and three outdoor. It was Dees who came into prominence in 1930 when he set a national high school record for the twelve pound shot with a fling of 58 feet, 10 inches. But it was not Dees who was the K. U. track team. Dees was the star, but he had a strong supporting cast of fifteen men who added points not always first place points, of course but points that oftentimes win meets. The first meet of the 1935 season was in early February under Memorial sta- dium with the Jayhawkers host to the Kansas State Wildcats. The Kansas State gentlemen did not treat the Mount Oread lads like hosts, however, and were impo- lite to the degree that the Jayhawkers smarted under a 68] 2 to 35 y 2 defeat. Some of the sting of this defeat was taken away, though, when it developed that it took the Big Six Indoor cham- pions to beat K. U. by such a score, for in March, Kansas State won this meet at Columbia with thirty-six points. Trailing the Wildcats, were Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa State in that same order. The Kansas Relays attracted six hun- dred athletes and ten thousand visitors to Lawrence in April. Five new records were established by athletes throughout the country, here that day. In the Texas relays at Austin, Dees placed second in the shot put, and won his specialty at the Drake relays when he shoved the iron ball 50 feet, % inches. Kansas State continued to top K. U. and the Cornhuskers when the Wildcats won a triangular meet in early May. Dees bettered his own shot put record in this meet with a toss of 52 feet, 7 inches. Al Wellhausen lifted his 6 foot, 7 inch frame into the air 6 feet, 1 inch to win the high jump event and to tie the record. A week before the big show of the track season, the Bix Six Outdoor meet, the Jayhawkers took a drubbing from the Missouri Tigers, 78% to 52%. K. U. was victor in six events at this meet, however, the most firsts in one meet that they took all season. On May 18, Big Six track competition officially came to a conclusion with the Big Six Outdoor meet at Lincoln. Oklahoma won this coveted championship while Kansas sank into the cellar. Ray Noble, sophomore, set a new conference record in the pole vault when he soared 1 3 feet, 8y inches into the stratosphere. In peroration, all that can be said is that the 1935 track team was not so successful as far as winning meets goes, but when one looks back at it next year, it might prove to have been a great season in that it helped to develop the strong team that the 1936 squad promises to be. Eleven of the fifteen lettermen of last year are back. There were sixteen fresh- men out for track that will strengthen the varsity this year. Yes, it looks as if Track preferred stock will reach a new high in the Spring of 1936. BILL HARGISS WINNING FROM THE TIGERS OCTOBER, 1935 47 Women ' s athletics The Women ' s Intramural Program Gets off to a Fine Start as the Fall Sports Begin by RUTH MARY WILSON A SPIRIT of genial cooperation and rivalry between all university women was established again this year by the intramural athletic events between the organized houses and the independent women on the campus. Always to start the new athletic year off right, the W. A. A. holds a sports Pow Wow at which the activities offered to women are demonstrated, and cups for the last year ' s championship are given. Needless to say, the Kappa Kappa Gam- mas, by the aid of Martha Dodge, one of the highest individual scorers, walked off with the cup last year as well as the year preceding. All of which gave them the cup for two succeeding years and if they keep up their good work this year will get to keep the nice big cup forever. Perhaps the third time will be the charm and some of the other houses will get a chance to come through. The sport year is divided into seasons. In the fall volley ball, hockey, tennis singles, handball, and horseshoes are offered. Winter sports are basketball, basketball throw, swimming, deck tennis, ping-pong, and rifle. Then during the spring come the exciting baseball and tennis matches, handball, horseshoes, and ping-pong. All of these sports activities are sponsored and offered by the W. A. A. This organization also sp nsors a number of other events throughout the year. As you can see, this is an extensive pro- gram and in order to be a successful one, it must be carefully planned and effici- ently carried out This is where Miss Ruth Hoover, director of the women ' s physical education department, comes in. She manages this athletic program in addition to her regular faculty duties, and she makes a huge success of both. Under the excellent management of Miss Hoover and the leadership of Lois Montgomery, president of the W. A. A., the organiza- tion is anticipating a most successful year of sports. Quack! Quack! And even a couple of more quacks for the Quack Club, the women ' s swimming organization which is closely associated with the W. A. A. The club has brought to light many good swimmers in the past, and this year, with Bert}- Tholen as president, it bids well to keep up the good work. There are about eighteen of the old members back. Among the more prominent ones are Betty Tholen, Rachel Kiene, Nadine Ingelman, and Lucille Sharpe. Another of the organizations closely allied to the W. A. A. is Tau Sigma, hon- orary dancing organization. This is a most popular organization and member- ship in it is coveted. Tryouts are under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, sponsor of Tau Sigma. It should be a good year with Helen Johnson as presi- dent and with all the new freshmen Pavlovas flitting about. In addition to sponsoring all the above mentioned activities, the W. A. A. also holds several other events throughout the year. The first in line is a hockey feed, held annually, at which time fall awards are presented. Then comes the famous Puff Pant Prom around the last of November which is a purely stag affair for members of the fair sex and do they have fun ! Then to wind up a glorious school year in sports, the W. A. A. always has a Play Day in the spring. This Play Day is sponsored for members of athletic organ- izations in high schools all over the state. About 150 girls usually attend besides their directors from the respective schools. Play Day, besides being great fun, affords (Continued on page 7 .5y MISS DUNKEL MISS HOOVER HOCKEY. A FEATURE OF THE FALL PROGRAM 48 THE JAYHAWKER Powder puff politics Kansas Coeds Are Now Entering Their Twenty-Sixth Year of Self Government by ELIZABETH HANSON IN the days of our fathers, woman was merely tolerated, her activities looked upon with mild indulgence and her attempts at self-expression regarded with gentle amusement. Our fathers took her sudden bursts of wild ideas as they should be taken broadmindedly, as characteristics to be expected of all femininity. It was preposterous to consider any of them seriously, even for a minute. It was rather startling, then, to our fathers to rub their eyes one morning and find that somehow, and silently, woman was beginning to mean something more in the world than a pretty appendage to a home, that her continual talk of wart- ing to do things was turning into the actual work of doing them. At first they were a bit disgruntled at the changed state of affairs. They felt woman had betrayed them by thus breaking away from the accepted pattern of behavior for all womankind ; their dignity was offended. But at last, the usual broadmindedness of our fathers asserted itself again. It would be rather interesting after all to have woman in a new role. It would be diverting to watch her expression as she gradually found out what she was getting into. The menfolks would prepare them- selves to be comforting and consoling when woman found she had had enough of the new life and was ready to return to her former decorative place. Our fathers are old men now but they are still watching. And their half-amused air has become tinged with growing wonder and even respect. Woman is actually succeeding in her new status. There is no need for the considerate sympathy of our fathers. Alas ! the unpre- dictability of woman. And so it is that women students at Kansas University have slowly built up an independent organization for self-govern- ment. Permission for the first attempt at such an association was granted by the Board of Regents twenty-six years ago. Ever since that time, the Women ' s Self- Government Association has been in existence and has proved more and more successful. Every woman student on the campus is a member of the association and has a vote in the election of its officers. The nominees for these offices are presented to the group at a series of teas given in the spring. The ones finally chosen from the W. S. G. A. executive council serve as officers during the following year. Betty Cox was elected president last spring but because of illness was unable to return to school this fall. As a result, Julia Jencks, vice-president, was voted by the council to succeed her. Under her capable direction, the council meets every Tuesday evening to discuss matters con- cerning the various activities of women on the campus, and to decide what policies should be followed in regard to them. As women are in practically every- thing on the campus, this becomes a varied and busy job for the council. One of the aims of the council is to promote a true spirit of friendliness among the girls on the campus. As one way of accomplishing this, the W. S. G. A. sponsors teas every Wednesday afternoon in the Central Administration Building ' s lounge. The council greets the students with the first tea of the year and then arranges to have the different organized houses take charge of them in turn from then on. These teas are informal affairs giving the girls a chance to come, and, over their refreshments, to become acquainted with each other. The mid-week varsities every Wednes- day night are another social event which the W. S. G. A. sponsors. These dances are very popular affairs and serve admir- ably as a place to know one ' s fellowman better. To supplement these projects for increasing friendships, the W. S. G. A. approves the publication of both the K book and the Student Directory, both of which are great helps in showing students not only who but where the different people on the campus are. Feeling that all students should have the chance to enjoy at a reasonable price the various athletic and cultural entertainments which come yearly to the campus, the W. S. G. A. has given its Back Row: FRY, BELTZ, HARDESTY, THOMPSON, LEARNED. Middle Row: SLATER, CALDWELL, LEWIS, COSANDIER, HANSON, BUTLER. Front Row: THOLEN, SPEELMAN, DUNKEL, JENCKS, HUMPHREY, REUTER, BORDEN. OCTOBER, 1935 49 support to the issuance of the activity tickets which all students buy. Still fol- lowing its interest along the lines of cul- ture and scholarship, the W. S. G. A. offers six awards each year to girls with high scholastic standing and also presents a cup to the winner of the campus prob- lems speaking contest. For several years, a musical comedy has been presented every spring under the auspices of fhe W. S. G. A. These comedies have always been especially interesting because the students not only take the different parts of the play but write the words and songs as well. All the profits from these ventures have been used in the scholarships. Another project carried on by the W. S. G. A. is the Book Exchange which is managed by the council member Edith Borden. She sees that the exchange office is open at certain times every day so that students may come who wish to sell or to buy second-hand text books. The money received by the exchange is collected in a special fund which is used to support the vario us activities of the association. A new feature of this year ' s W. S. G. A. program is the plan for a song contest to be held November 24th in the auditorium. Every organized women ' s house is to enter the competition and each group will be asked to sing two songs of their own choosing and the Alma Mater. A plaque will be presented to the group judged to have the best voices. It is hoped that this sing will become an annual event and will be a help in fostering a closer feeling of common interests among the women on the campus. This is an outline of the main activi- ties of the W. S. G. A. The council also has many other duties connected WHEN SHE ' S THROUGH PLAYING ITJ. STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. with maintaining high standards on the campus, encouraging the feeling of mutual responsibility, and promoting loyalty to the University. The council as a whole discusses most of this business but each member individually has certain responsibiliiies. Julia Jencks, the president, is filling her position very well. She has the rare ability of directing efforts along the most useful lines and is always alert to any possibilities which might help the women students of the University. The vice-president, Dorothy Lewis, has a good understanding of conditions on the campus and is very helpful with her observations. Mary Frances Butler is the Y. W. C. A. representative and second vice-president. Mary Louise Beltz makes a very efficient secretary and Ruth Learned has a complicated job as trea- surer with all the W. S. G. A. funds to handle. The member who checks up the activities of all the girls is the Point System Manager. Betty Tholen. The Fine Arts Representative is Dorothy Fry who also has charge of all social events spon- sored by the W. S. G. A. The Representa- tive from the College is Virginia Hardesty who is very active in her support of the council ' s proceedings. Elizabeth Hanson is senior class vice-president and histor- ian of the council. The senior class secre- tary is June Thompson who has become a valuable member of the council because of her sincerity and clear-sightedness. Barbara Pendleton and Gretchen Speel- man as the Junior class vice-president and secretary are well liked for their friendli- ness and energy in helping the council.

A Kansas Coed Speculates on the Feas- ibility of Balancing the Date Budget r HOUGH the time has come -they tell me when women no longer hesitate to enter any field formerly cornered by members of the opposite sex, and they shout their battle cry of Freedom, you ' ll still find the average woman a shy, little shrinking violet when the time comes to walk to the cashier ' s desk, and, though I hate to contradict a good, old tradition and a time-honored proverb, it is still the long suffering male who wears out his pockets with the continuous traffic. An unheard-of utopia it would be for any young man if this situation were reversed or even half-way reversed, but most every girl that you and I know would feel it her cue to retire and leave this mad social whirl. After all, there is very little lure or glamour if that is what you are looking for in reaching for the check each time it is presented. But, ah ! you men what possibilities lie in this for you ! What rugged and grim determination you can reveal when you casually brush aside any other chump who attempts to outfumble you! Think, when you stride to the cashier ' s desk to pay a check, which has somehow grown too large, what poise and nonchalance you can portray even though inside you are a quivering mass of apprehension. Such possibilities as these are unlimited ! But with a thoughtful and constructive manner let us face these glaring facts. On the whole, the men of K. U. are still playing fairy godfather to every -check on the table. One hand in the pocket and the other clutching the check is almost as much of a habit as brushing your teeth. In spite of the unfairness of this situa- tion most men would be insulted and embarrassed if their dates would reach fcX for the check first. When- l 1 ever this situation is inno- cently mentioned in idle conversation just among friends, there are still some from the old school who throw their hands up in horror and exclaim, What do you think I am! When that happens I stop dating. Some of the noble specimens of man- hood lurking about our campus admit that this would be a most novel and yet untried approach to a platonic friendship, yet if their dates would surprise them to the extent of paying the bill the only reaction would be one part shock, one part resentment and a few dashes of an unnecessary feeling. However, I have often heard of a few of the young men of our campus stretching their iron clad views to the point of using their date ' s car for the evening. It may be they are only victims of circumstance for when it comes to a choice between using a girl ' s car or trudging over the endless hills on our fair campus, walking is definitely out. And so, it appears that the gentleman obviously doesn ' t indulge in letting his date pay her way. Despite the fact that a good many times this would ease the financial difficulties, no man would wish to attract the attention of the crowd while hand his date divided their shares of the Most girls have a little different attitude. Much to your surprise, you will find us not quite as mer- cenary creatures as you have supposed. The women on this Hill have about an equal monthly income as the men. From this standpoint it would seem only fair that the girl pay half. However, I doubt the feasibil- ity of this innovation at any immediate date. Few girls, if any, would consent to paying their way when just dating around. We feel that such an action, with some- one you have known only a short while, would not only be in bad taste but would create an embarrassing scene for both parties. Regardless of how we might enjoy it, paying half on a first date ranks in our opinion on the same level as attending a mid-week and firmly joining the stag line in order to do our half of cutting. Under other circumstances the case is altered a great deal. There are few girls who would not be willing to go half and half when it is with someone they have known for a long time, or with the only one. by BETTY RUTH SMITH After all, when two people have come to an understanding, as grandmother coyly put it, there also should be an understanding about financial arrangements. To be truthful, a man doesn ' t really have a chance, I guess. He just goes on paying his, her, and their bills all of his life. The only difference is that some just start in earlier than the others. Well, regardless of a man ' s fate or financial destiny, most girls who are engaged, or have a hunch they are going to be soon, would prefer to help save their money until the future time when the two of them may spend many a happy (?) evening figuring out all of the mysteries of the budget system. (No, this is not an advice to the lovelorn column.) And until the day when you find yourself in such a fortunate posi- tion, my young friends, I fear you will go on finding a man ' s fate a hard one and life but a game of pay as you go. Though I hate to discourage you, I fear the possibility of an immediate change in the financial side of this dat- ing business is an improbable one, and on your next date the old ancient custom will still prevail. Anyway, it is still a nice feeling that feeling of power and pride that comes when you leave the little woman to her thoughts as you, with a manly air, attend to that eternal nuisance, the check. II (LINES OUT OF LONELINESS) Last night I died For love of you. When we passed this morning. You said, t Hello. Cornelia Ann Miller OCTOBER, 1935 51 Cheerleaders Committee Selects Leaders to Direct Vocal Endeavors of Herd by HARLAN SHORES EVERY succeeding year the interest shown by the students of Kansas University toward interscholastic sports seems to heighten. There is, however, a. constant source of irritation. As the crowds increase, the noise diminishes. Perhaps complaints in this direction have been made before. Yell! Boys yell! does make a good heading for an editorial. But unlike most pessimistic editorializing, this situation is a fact. Many solutions to account for this pre- valent lade of vocal energy have been suggested. When it was realized several years ago that Rock Chalk no longer shook the stadium walls, it was thought that the cheerleaders were not exactly fit. Since then long ones and short ones, thin ones and fat ones, husky ones and anaemic ones have all been tried. Every one of them was able to make good ges- tures and plenty of noise. There are. or were, two groups of cheerers, the leaders and the cheering section. (The booing section won ' t be mentioned.) The seat of the trouble definitely doss not lie with the cheerleaders and the yells have rhythm, fame, and tradition. The only group left to condemn is the crowd. Physical incapability in the forms of muteness or quinsy is not the cause of the predominating silence during the yelk. Statistics show that the new students were able to say Ah! for the medical exami- nation, and everyone yelled loudly, when they learned the price of their semester fees. Odd as it may seem, the number of aspirants for cheerleading positions was still large this year. The eagerness of these active and vociferous lads to do pantomimes before mobs that have in the past few years been sullen, unappre- ciative, and voiceless, is amazing. But the new crop of yell leaders looked good to the pep committee. This committee is composed of one member from each of the following campus organizations: Men ' s Student Council, K Club, Ku Kus, Jay Janes, Sachem, and Mortar Board. Lyman Field, president of the Men ' s Student Council, acted as chairman dur- ing the tryouts and selections. The try- outs and selections, often regarded as a joke, were handled in a serious business- like manner this year. Consequently, when the final decisions were announced, the leaders chosen were not only able to lead an organized yell, but were fairly representative of activities on the Hill. Verl Ward, selected by the committee to replace Hans Pfuetze as the head cheerleader, was good enough to beat Clyde Nichols, a junior leader of last year, in a race for the leading position. In spite of his lack of experience, Ward directs his cheers as smoothly and rhythmically as a veteran leader. Whether he can take it, when he is forced by a silent mob to do a solo, remains to be seen. His broad smile, however, indicates a tolerant temperament. If he can com- bine this virtue of good nature with his undoubted leading ability, Ward will be qualified to make the crowd roar. The cheerleaders selected from the junior class are George Paris and Bill Townsley. Neither of these boys has had any leading experience, but both of them showed up well before the pep commit- tee in the stadium tryouts. Paris is attend- ing the university for the first time this year. He and Townsley look like good teammates for Verl Ward. These three should be able to coax enough noise from the Kansas cheering section to be heard echoing back and forth between Topeka and Kansas City. Clyde Nichols and Bill McDonald, both defeated for the head cheerleading position, will serve as alternates. They will lead the cheering on the west side of the stadium from the twenty-five yard line south. The remaining five leaders were chosen from the combined Freshman and Sophomore classes. These under- classmen are: Chet Mize, ' 38; Mike Pen- nock, ' 38; Jack Nessle, ' 38; Dan Gor- man, ' 38; and Man-in Cox, ' 39. They look to be one of the finest groups of freshmen cheerleaders that ever cheered before a Jayhawk section. With this capable group of cheer- leaders and strong yells, the students of Kansas University should be able to prove that the Rock Chalk will always be the nationally known battle chant of the students of K. U. TRYING OUT FOR CHEERLEADER VERL WARD, HEAD CHEERLEADER 52 THE JAYHAWKER THE BEFORE we get started with the business at hand, let us tell the purpose of this little column. It has been the custom during a number of years now for the University to give its students a little relaxation on the social side through our well- known Union and the very accomodating efforts of the Hill ' s fraternities and sororities. The purpose of this fill-up space anecdote is to report the good and bad occurring at all these student gatherings and to mention a few names just for the pleasure of Tim Clem Eubanks Donahue ' s herd. We might also say that this isn ' t really an attempt to com- pete against the Hill ' s ace snoopers, Rex Pale Woods, and Jumping Joseph Pryor, the journalistic editor. of the Sour Owl. This column will leave these two to their maneuvering and philandering while it proceeds merrily, or approximately thereto, on its own way. Now for what we might call the Social Wheel. Just by the way of a passing remark, the first few dances were hotter than a Beta hotbox with the Field boys in all their glory. Red Blackburn opened the gay jamboree September 16 with three hours of some of the best music the boys and girls had heard for a long time. That sojourn at Estes Park this summer didn ' t give the boys any bad habits whatsoever. The new crop of neophytes was out in full force for this one. For example, the Alpha Chis laid down the slipper, or whatever it is they lay down, and told the girls, that only dates to the varsity were to be accepted. No one seemed to be missing except Pat Lyman, the Kappa beauty queen who, incidentally, didn ' t lose any charm during the summer months. Two days later the socialites were confronted with another brawl, the Free Mixer. All who attended were greeted with a new Hill personality (?), Mr. Wayne Wright, one of the Fiji boys at Missouri. Here ' s hoping he puts a plank in the Kansas chapter ' s rushing spiel. Incidentally Wright is quite a man with SPOKESMAN the ladies. This fact is attested by Theta Lucy Lee Hawk, a Stephens girl via Tulsa, who huffed and puffed when he remembered and spoke to her as she was tripping by. On Friday night, September 20th, the Phi Psis and the A. T. O. ' s opened up with two gala events. The A. T. O. ' s came out on the long end of the score; that is, in attendance. They established a new idea with their fraternity open house, which was, in fact, a very good party. The other fraternities literally took possession of the house for the night, to dance with the A. T. O. ' s best better moments and listen to the boys headed by Red Blackburn. Quite a few students, however, owe the Phi Psis an apology for walking in on their private party. The next night the Chancellor ' s Reception took the Hill by storm. The storm carried no wind and, if anything, was hotter than any of the earlier parties. The chance to meet and get acquainted with the faculty and indulge in a few of the latest dance steps lured many a would-be student away from the printed material. The different laundries around town will tell you what a night that was. Well, with school started in full force the following Mon- day, the Social Wheel lost a lot of speed. The week was given over to the political maneuverings of the different candi- dates for the Varsity Dance Managership, and the preparation of three sororities for their Open Houses. When Friday the 27th rolled around the man power of sixteen fraternities was ganged around the doors of the Union building, Theta. and A. D. Pi houses to see the results of women ' s rush week. We were unable to attend but one of these, but we learned that the old guard got a bigger rush than the new charmers. At the Theta house we found Mr. Wayne Wright leading his outfit before a large crowd consisting of Thetas and men. George Guernsey started some kind of a stooge game and before twelve AT THE A. D. PI OPEN HOUSE THE OPENING VARSITY OCTOBER, 1935 53 ANNOUNCING THE NEW DANCE MANAGER o ' clock half the people on the floor were dancing around hold- ing a finger up to their noses. This was the only accepted defense. The actives had better tell their prize (?), Esther Grant, to curb her line just a wee bit. The next night the whirl kept on without slacking the least bit. This was the night that the Pi Phis went up against a varsity and won out, much to the delight of the varsity crowd. The Pi Phis summoned the aid of Red Blackburn and Cochrane retaliated with Wayne Wright. (We don ' t mean to include this name so much but this guy must be good, every- body ' s using him). The Pi Phis stationed Martha Nuzman and Margaret Ryan at the door to lure the sheep in and then throw them down the freshmen line. That ' s one way of getting a crowd. Two people who were very noticeable besides the freshmen were Prexy Lyman Field, who went about handing out that well-known red headed line, and Jack Chipmunk Schiffmacher, flitting hither and thither with that ruddy tinted nose stuck in the faces of all the girls. . With the Pi Phi ' s and their herd in one place, the rest of the varsity-goers had a chance to take a few steps un- molested. The high spot of the evening was when Gene Lloyd, a member of Delta Upsilon, was announced as Dance Manager for this year. We feel that he will do okay, but let him speak for himself. This year we are going to get some very good bands for the major parties. But to start things off, we ' re going to lower the price of the October 5th Varsity to 60 cents and in addition have an All-University talent floor show. The dances this year won ' t have such a thick coat of so-called K. U. sophistication. Friday night, October 4th, the Betas got the jump on most of the other fraternities by throwing a party in celebration of winning the St. Benedict ' s game. Just an old Beta trick. They tried to compete with the Alpha Gamma Delta Open House and we haven ' t, as yet, found out who won the fight. Here ' s wishing the Betas all kinds of luck, however. Saturday was the big night. Gene Lloyd started out reform- ing the dances with Louie Kuhn, an all-University talent floor show, and a sixty cent tariff. The party was really all right and he deserves a lot of credit. Here ' s hoping they stay that way all during the year. His floor show consisted of a soft shoe dance by Barbara Goll, a tap dance by Ted North, erst- while Phi Psi dramatist, a violin and guitar number by two orchestra boys, and a torch number by Maxine Ripley. Maxine did all right even if the orchestra did try to make a race out of Sweet and Slow. These shows ought to be continued from time to be time. There ' ll have to have grandstands, though, if everyone is supposed to see them. Now if it won ' t bore you, I ' d like to spill a little news about the doings of K. U. ' s lights at the party. Louie Kuhn ' s THE PI PHIS LET DOWN THE BARS outfit, with four Delts, (too bad boys) is about fifty per cent better this year than last. In trying to be less sophisticated at the dances, Jack Schiffmacher (there he is again boys) and Jack What-a-man Richardson bought themselves four apples dur- ing the evening. Never a dull moment, girls. Richardson, how- ever, pulled the prize trick of the evening. Instead of eating his apple right away, he put it in his right coat pocket. While going to town with some girl he suddenly noticed her expres- sion of discomfiture and remembered the apple. The only thing he could say under the circumstances was Pardon my sprained back. He ' s funny! Another little note that met our attention concerned Esther Grant, Kappa Alpha Theta ' s brain trust, and Bruce Gleissner. Gleissner evidently didn ' t like his date ' s general invitation to the boys to come on along at intermission so they had words or something to that effect. It was indeed most pathetic. The A. O. Pi ' s acted very foolish and tried to compete with the varsity. We didn ' t get around, but here ' s hoping they did all right by themselves. Sunday, October 6th, rolled around and with it came a lot of guests and some very bruised up but happy varsity foot- ball players. The Delts had a buffet supper to keep step with their rivals, the Sigma Chis. Everyone seemed to be very happy amidst all the cut-throat get acquainted activities. That ' s about all we have room and time for this number, but there will be plenty more next time providing all you readers cooperate. A little item just came to our attention which ought to be brought up as a note of warning to everyone. On October 25th, the night before the Kansas Aggie game, which would be a rather hectic night anyway, the Delts, Phi Psis and Sigma Chis are going to fight it out for feminine affections. There ought to be plenty of confusion. Too bad girls, after all you can only make one party a night. The Sig Eps got the jump on the boys Sunday night, the 29th, by beating it out to Brown ' s Grove for a little star gazing. Oh well, it was nice weather anyway. The Sigma Chis retaliated with a much more refined feed in the form of a buffet supper. The Editor has ordered this thesis in by October 8th, so we ' ll have to wait until next time to tell you if the Mid- Weeks sans orchestras are successful. Before closing, though, there is one good party you should know about and prepare for. The Women ' s Pan-Hellenic is going to throw an all-school costume party November 1st. All you have to do to get in is to bring seventy-five cents and dress up in some old clothes that will pass for a costume. Well, we must go now, so until the next issue, good parties to all. Prominent profs THE JAYHAWKER DR. FRANK TENNEY STOCKTON, dean of the School of Business, was born at Mosiertown, Pennsylvania, Octo- ber 22, 1886. He received the degree of DR. FRANK T. STOCKTON- Bachelor of Arts at Allegheny College in 1907. While he was at Allegheny he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and played on the varsity football and basketball squads, and in addition was a member of the varsity debating team. He received both his A. M. and Ph. D. degrees at Johns Hopkins University, graduating in 1911. In his first and second years at Johns Hopkins he held the university scholar- ship in political economy, a fellowship in his third year, and in his fourth year he was appointed fellow ' -by-courtesy . and graduate assistant. During his first two years at Johns Hopkins he departed from the course usually pursued by graduate students by playing on the varsity foot- ball team at right tackle. He was captain of the team in 1908. Following his graduation from Johns Hopkins he was instructor of economics and commerce at the University of Rochester, a position which he held until 1913. In the winter of 1912-13 Doctor Stockton had charge of the educational work at the Rochester chapter of the American Institute of Banking. In 1913 he was made assistant professor of eco- nomics and sociology at the University of Indiana, where he remained until 1917, excepting the first semester of the year 1915-16 when he was granted a leave of absence to become a lecturer on labor problems at the University of Michigan. From 1917 until 1924 he was head of the department of economics and was dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of South Dakota, coming to the University of Kansas as dean of the School of Business in 1924. Doctor Stockton is the author of two monographs which were published in the John Hopkins Studies in Historical and Political Science and is also the author of numerous bulletins, articles, and notes on the subject s of labor, taxation, and marketing. He is a member of Alpha chapter of Delta Tau Delta, national social fra- ternity, and a charter member of Delta Sigma Pi, national economics fraternity, at South Dakota. He is also a Master Mason, and a member of the Episcopal church. Doctor Stockton is married and has one child. DONALD M. SWARTHOUT DONALD M. SWARTHOUT, dean of the School of Fine Arts at the University of Kansas, was born August 9, 1884, at Pawpaw, Illinois, to Teal and Ella G. Swarthout. He attended the pub- lic schools there, graduating from the high school in 1902. During the winter of 1898-99 he studied in Chicago at the Balatka College of Music and with pri- vate teachers. In 1902 he went abroad and entered the Royal Conservatory at Leipsic, Ger- many, taking the full course. He remained there until 1905, when he went to Paris and studied piano under Isadore Phil- lippe. He returned to the United States in 1906, again going to Europe in 1910 to re-enter the conservatory at Leipsic, from which he graduated in 1911 with the pruefung. From 1906 to 1910 he was associate director and head of the piano depart- ment at Oxford College, Oxford, Ohio. From 1908 to 1910 he was university organist at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Returning from Europe in 1911, he was assistant director and head of the piano department at the Illinois College for Women until 1914. From 1914 to 1923 he was assistant director and head of the piano department at James Milli- ken College, Decatur, 111. In 1923 he came to the University of Kansas as dean of the School of Fine Arts, and has continued in that position since that time. DR. PAUL B. LAWSON was born in India, August 18, 1888, and was the third in a family of six children. His father and mother were at that time engaged in missionary work in India. At the death of his father in 1903, Dean Lawson, accompanied by his mother, a brother and a sister, came to the United States and settled at Oberlin, Ohio. Dr. Lawson entered Oberlin High School, and with the completion of his high school course he entered Oberlin College. It was during his year in that school that he was won over to ento- mology when he discovered it was a new science. Most of his undergraduate days were spent in John Fletcher College, Oskaloosa, Iowa. He was graduated there in 1909, and taught biology in the same school until 1915. (Continued on page 67) DR. PAUL B. LAWSON OCTOBER, 1935 55 Wide open house A representative of the male element discusses the perennial social plague I [ N the past few weeks many of the K. U. sororities have held open houses for the purpose o f introducing their new pledges and many of their actives to the Hill ' s men- folk. To those who were fortunate enough to stay home and study instead of attending these merry-go-rounds a few words of enlighten- ment are in order. At the average sorority house the gates open at 9:00 and the early comers flock down a long receiving line shaking hands with housemothers, club presidents, and blushing, gushing neophytes. Then after the boys have been thus far snared the fun starts. Red Blackburn, Wayne Wright, Louie Kuhn, or one of the other top- notch Hill bands, play good music which is too bad because nobody dances. The boys that are in the first line trenches choose partners and advance toward the open space. Standing with a girl thus wedged in most of us look for help and find men like Frank Warren, Bud Ranney, or someone else and, alas, find them in our same predicament. Soon someone cuts in as a matter of course and we scamper to a corner to sympathize with our friends. After this goes on for too long a time the party is over and the boys tell the house-mothers what an enjoyable evening it was. Now you see why anyone is smart to stay home and study on open house night. Why this custom continues to exist among the other sane traditions of the University of Kansas is a mystery. So many better plans for introducing the girls could be substituted for the present method. For example, why not let the Women ' s Pan- Hellenic rent the auditorium for the eve- ning and allot fifteen minutes to each sorority. The boys could sit on the ground floor and see everything. Then in alpha- betical order, the Alpha Chis first and so on, the sororities could take the stage and have each new girl come forward and present a short bit of entertainment. For instance, can ' t you picture Dorothy Fry saying, And now boys Tib Car- ruth will recite The Vil- lage Blacksmith ' . Or perhaps Frances Bruce would introduce: Mary K. Frith will now play ' The Old Grey Mare ' for you on the piano. Cer- tainly the boys would learn who the girls are this way and everyone would have a good time. The new girls never seem to remember the names of the boys they meet anyway so why should they be for- mally introduced. Admission might even be charged and the receipts used to bribe off housemothers when the actives get in late. Another plan is not to do away with open houses, but to have them literally. The girls could advertise their open house and then on the chosen night all of them leave town for the evening. When the boys arrived they would find the sorority house deserted and cheese, cold meats, and other delicacies in abundance. The evening could be spent playing cards or singing songs and a good time would be had by all. Certainly this would build up the sorority in the eyes of the get-around boys. Still these plans will I T go for naught. A K 5 v campus such as ours, crowded with Joe Col- leges and Esquire copy- cats cannot get along without these feminine mad-houses. Some of the gluttons for this sort of frivolity ' even go so far as to have hour dances for girls in their fraternity houses. This practice certainly calls to mind those dashing, romantic, hey-hey college movies. That ' s probably where the boys goth the idea which is bad enough. At any rate there are enough of this type of college men in circulation to make the sorority open house a permanent menace. In the year 1940 the P. S. G. L. has already made plans to hold forums on open house night to draw the crowds away and make these plagues die a lingering death. Such topics as The Love Life of the Paramaecium will be used to lure the easy marks to the forums. Picket lines will be formed around the sorority houses and the P. S. G. L. will station very glib takers in the paths of any sorority-minded young men. Such will be the sorry fate of the open house if all reasonable by LLOYD MORGAN j ( means fail. Even if the i institution of the open house were done com- 7 pletely away with, ninty- s five per cent of the mas- y culine faction could manage very easily with no substituting plan. The other five per cent probably would suffer the ill effects of a definite personal loss. Everyone knows this five per cent there is no need to steal the Sour Owl ' s stuff and print their names. They like to see their names in print anyway. Those of you who have never been to an open house should by all means attend one next year to satisfy your curi- osity. Remember everyone is invited the more crowded it is, the better the girls like it. Yet when your first open house is over you will unconsciously associate it with packed street cars or circus crowds and your natural curiosity ' will be forever abated. No ordinary stay- at-home individual could enjoy an excur- sion into a sorority house at such a time. When you have attended your first open house you will undoubtedly fall into line with the anti ' s unless you are one of the unfortunate five per cent pray it isn ' t so. Next fall there will probably bs no change in the system. Nothing that had been proposed will be done and the open houses will draw the same large crowds they always have. So bear up, men, and let your pledges next year fall into the same abyss of long receiving lines, blaring bands and sardine-packed dance floors. Some day, and the time is not far off, the open house in its present form will cease to exist and nearly every- one but the girls will be happy. Let us all look forward with eager jf pleasure to the passing of this I J?T old and pointless institution A -S so little can be said in favor r ' i P en houses and so much C against their very underlying principles. 5(5 THE JAYHAWKER The chancellor ' s reception A Play by Play Account of the Chancellor ' s Yearly Party for the Students and Faculty by BETTE WASSON WELL, the annual Chancellor ' s Recep- tion has gone down on the pages of K. U. history. A fine reception it was too. That is, as fine as receptions go ; but you know receptions they are none too good at their best! But nevertheless, I believe that all the students who braved the mob to meet our dear chancellor (or to keep peace with the actives who said they had to or else) will agree with me that a good time was had by all, even if you didn ' t do anything but shake hands and stomp time to music. Most of the new students who usually think of receptions as quite formal and sedate affairs probably received a shock when they found the front door locked. The ones who weren ' t too easily dis- couraged (and from the looks of the ' crowd there were quite a few) prowled around and found that they were to use the side entrance. For the benefit of the timid souls there was a welcoming committee. It was here that you met the first line. I see now why they had you stand in all of those lines for registration and enrollment it was just to break you in gently for the Chancellor ' s Reception. Well, we can take it I hope. After hours and hours of talking about the weather to your date, and staring at the back of the person in front of you, you finally arrived at your destination, the aforementioned desti- nation being a long table where a few obliging men and women endeavored to make out name tags for the people who desired to be recepted. I wonder what they ' d do if many people had names like Pfuetze or Stoltenberg. Well, you guess, ' cause my feet are still tired. All this writing of names business took place in the cafeteria, and from there you wandered up into the lounge that is if you were lucky enough to squeeze in. Here everyone was milling around like a bunch of walking place cards. I don ' t know if I was overcome by the heat or just what, but I just stood still and looked around, not really knowing what to do. I must have looked pretty dazed because pretty soon one of the helpful Jay Janes tripped over to me and asked me if I was looking for the end of the line. I told her that I thought I was. Well, she said, I think you ' ll find it behind that gentleman in the gray suit. Gentle- THE DANCE FOLLOWING THE RECEPTION man. Ye Gods, I never knew that there were so many gray suits in the state of Kansas. I finally gave up looking for the end of the line and concluded that the room was just one long line full of twists and turns. Upon a little investigation this proved to be true. I thought that I would wander around until the line got a little shorter, but every way I turned I seemed to be cutting through the line. And talk about dirty looks ! Everyone seemed to think I was trying to chisel a place in line. I was nearly at my wits end when I finally spied a deserted divan. I took my life in my hands and tore madly over to it, regardless of looks, lines or any- thing else. From the divan I had a pretty good view of all that was going on. It was quite a surprise to find that the boys outnumbered the girls about three to one. You know boys don ' t usually go in for these functions. I guess they were just tuning up for the open houses. Well, if tuning was all they needed, they sure got their A ' s sounded on this deal. From my haven of rest I could also watch the receiving line. You know I ' ll bet that receiving was hard on the pro- fessors, because, they didn ' t have the registration and enrollment lines to lim- ber them up. However, they seemed to get along O. K. and most of the men even looked pretty comfortable in their tuxs. From the length of time some of the students spent talking to some of the profs I judged that apple polishing had started already well, there is no time like the present. About that time I started looking around for the end of the line again. You know, I actually don ' t think that the line was one inch shorter. I began to wonder if some of the stags were going through the line twice from force of habit. Just then I heard faint strains of music. Aha, I thought, I ' ll show them, I ' ll fix their wagons I ' ll amble upstairs and enjoy a few dances before the crowd sets in. But was I ever wrong? Just ask me. Well the answer is yes with a capital Y. The crowd downstairs wasn ' t any smaller, and yet the crowd in the ballroom was larger than the one I had just left. I ' m sure I can ' t figure it out, and I shan ' t try, I ' ll leave such problems to Ripley. Crowd or no crowd, the dance was plenty O. K. It was a lot of fun seeing people you hadn ' t seen since last year, and meeting people that you never dreamed you would meet. Somehow at a thing like (Continued on page 74) OCTOBER, 1935 57 The college student looks at war An Unprejudiced Article on One of the Great- est Problems That Youth Will Inevitably Face by WILLIAM UTERMOHLEN AT THIS TIME, as at a time little over twenty years ago, there is an imminent prospect of another European war, with its probable effect of involv- ing the whole world during its course, and the cause of peace is at the most critical crisis it has known since that time. Any such a war will inevitably affect the United States, perhaps only in an economic way, perhaps to an extent far surpassing that of the last one. As leaders of the nation in the near future, college students should feel an especial interest and responsibility in these affairs, and to stimulate that attitude is the pur- pose of this article. I think that it will be taken for granted to say that we as a whole are quite strongly for peace. The expe- rience of the United States in the World War should have taught us that trouble is all that war brings, even to the vic- torious side. The present-day war debt situation, with foreign nations unable to pay their debts to us because they are spending the money for armaments, is only one small example of this fact. The subject of the cost of war, in lives, money, and lowering of cultural standards, is almost a trite one; and yet wars continue to wreck the lives of men and of coun- tries. The latest and best authority for col- lege student sentiment towards war and war problems is the recent poll, con- ducted by the Literary Digest. Sum- marizing its results briefly, this poll showed: That sixty-eight per cent of all students voting believed that the United States could stay out of another war; eighty-four per cent said that they would fight for their country if she were in- vaded and eighteen per cent if she were the invader ; thirty-seven per cent believed in a navy and air force second to none as a way of staying out of war; ninety-one per cent advocated government control of manufacture and distribution of muni- tions and armaments and eighty-two per cent believed in government conscription of all resources of capital and labor in time of war; while the vote on whether the United States should enter the League of Nations was practically even, for and against. The University of Kansas vote showed her students were somewhat more for the cause of peace than the nation as a whole, and much more in favor of entry into the League. Thus, so far as it was indicative, the poll showed a general pacifistic trend of thought. Why, then, does this situation exist, in which we want peace and have war in its place? It is because no one can agree with anyone else on how peace should be attained; energy necessary to further the cause of peace is expended in futile argument. The result is talk and inac- tivity and more war. The United States and Great Britain hold the key positions in the world peace situation today, and of these, the United States is the more important. Many students believe that if the United States would enter the League, with a policy of aggressive action, she could preserve world peace. But how far should she go in this policy? Should she be willing to go to war for the sake of a cause as she professedly did in the last war? Or should she preserve an attitude of absolute neutrality and aloofness from foreign affairs, as some think? Or should she follow a middle course of economic sanctions, through the use of embargoes and stopping of sources of credit? Or should she have a responsibility at all for what goes on in the world outside of her boundaries? And, granted that there is an ideal solution to the problem, how should the people be brought to feel that it is the right way? The writer thinks that the United states should enter the League, with ex- emptions from the military sanctions clause now in the League Covenant. In the world of today, we cannot continue to live in the isolated state advocated by Washington and still thundered out by standpatters. He thinks that military sanc- tions are worse than useless as a meth- od of ensuring peace, and that the logical and best course for the United States to follow in case of a foreign war would be one of strict economic sanctions. The neutrality resolution recently passed by Congress provides for an embargo on munitions only in case of war ; an effective economic sanctions program would place an embargo on all supplies, and credit as well, to all warring nations. Comments on the poll quoted above have disclosed several interesting fea- tures of it not apparent on the surface. One is that a vote for peace or a declara- tion of intention not to bear arms, when voted in a quiet peace-time, and what the individual who cast that vote will do in case war is declared, and the myriad influences of the clergy, the administra- tion, and the militarists are brought to bear on him through the press and the radio, are two separate and probably op- posite things. This brings up the ques- tion of the actual nature of the interest that most college students have in peace; and the sad fact is evident that in most cases it is an entirely passive one. It can- not be too strongly said that this passive attitude is the greatest block to the tri- umph of peace. Until people will become actively interested in it, peace will re- main only a theoretical thing. Some assail those who declare they will not support their country in case she declares war as being unpatriotic and dis- loyal. But what is real patriotism? Is it blind obedience to an undemocratic mili- tary authority, or is it trying to serve your country for her best interests ? Is one who goes to war for his country in this era of civilization loyal to her best interests? These are the questions that the youth of today must answer. In conclusion, I think that the bring- ing-about of a peace sentiment that will endure in the United States cannot be accomplished over night; that such a result will be accomplished only by pa- tient years of education over several gen- erations, and that there will be many bitter disputes before men agree on peace. And yet I also think that war is not in- evitable as many others think; and hope that the common sense and ideals of the better and truer American people will establish the peace-cause as a permanent monument of their culture and civiliza- tion, and that ultimately the whole world will join with her in this movement. 58 THE JAYHAWKER JIM DONAHUE KING ARTHUR JUNIOR, THE PRIZE HUSHEE OCTOBER, 1935 59 Field day at the state U. or The waver boys at college A Drammer in What We Fondly Hope Someone Will Recognize as the Style of Katherine Dayton by BARBARA BRAMWELL CHARACTERS: Mrs. Pachacamac A spare-looking lady of uncertain age and more uncertain bearing. She is dressed in rich looking clothes which are easily recognizable as the fashion of last year. Her clothes hang on her as if she had recently lost weight. She has evidently been careless for her garments are fraternity-pinned together. She tries nervously to con- ceal this. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk A lady outwardly of independent bear- ing but in reality a person of quite as politic and fraternal a nature as Mrs. Pachacamac. She is dressed quietly, not to say obscurely. Her gown is of variable fabric, predomi- nantly baby pink and baby blue. She is very weak, but that is to be expected since the birth of her child occurred only last spring. SCENE: A dark stone room belonging to Mrs. Oread-Kayhawk, which, if we were morbid-minded, would look to us like the inside of a tomb. Mrs. Oread-Kayhawk is discovered rocking aimlessly from one side to the other. Mrs. Pachacamac enters, left. In fact, we really didn ' t know whether to put her in the show or not, because we didn ' t think her capable of much action. Mrs. Pachacamac Darling! How are you? I haven ' t seen or heard anything of you for so long. Mrs. Oread-Kajbawk (Hopelessly attempting to rise) I ' m so glad to see you. I haven ' t seen anyone for so long. However did you find me? Mrs. Pachacamac I just followed that Lane winding away from the D. U. house. Mrs. Oread-Kayhau-k (Beaming complacently) Oh, yes! That ' s a new one we put in last spring. Mrs. Pachacamac (Snippily) The D. U. ' s say they had noth- ing to do with its placement. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk (Soothingly) There, there, dear. At least you ' ve the Wright on your side. Mrs. Pachacamac (Edging into a chair) And how is your dear little son, PSGL, getting along? Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk (Rather worriedly) I really can ' t say. I don ' t have anything to do with him. You know his nurse, Lyman, has complete charge of him. Mrs. Pachacamac (With emphasis) Yes, indeed, I know! Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk But the little dear has grown amazingly. He ' s so big and robust now. Mrs. Pachacamac His nurse is making quite a problem child of him for me. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk Really? Mrs. Pachacamac Yes. He encourages PSGL to play all over my territory. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk I didn ' t know that. Why should the little dear play in your territory when he has so much of his own? And yours is so small, too. (Sympathetically) I ' ve heard you ' ve lost so much ground lately. Airs. Pachacamac You have no idea. I ' ve lost so much. Why, just look at me. You can see I ' m using only what I have left over from last year. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk Yes, and you had so many things planned, didn ' t you ? I hear you needed all the office space available to accommodate your machinery. Mrs. Pachofamac That ' s true. But when I knew the crash was coming I just decided that I ' d help your fair-haired child dear little PSGL ! and give him less work to do. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk What did you do for him? Mrs. Pachacamac I just okayed some bills that had been lying around for ages (Deprecatingly) You know how slow I always was about bills, anyway. I fixed these up at the last minute so he won ' t have to decorate so many offices. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk But he wouldn ' t have minded. The darling is young yet, of course, but I think he ' ll get to be as fond of that sort of thing as you are. Mrs. Pachacamac I don ' t doubt that. (Bursting into tears) I ' ve had so much trouble! And PSGL has worried me so! Your son is so hard to get on with! Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk Don ' t be too hard on little PSGL. He ' s Born a lot too, you know. Mrs. Pachacamac So I understand. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk (Changing the subject) Let me see. How many of the Waver boys are there in college now? Airs. Pachacamac Oh, lots. You really should get out soon and see for yourself. Mrs. Oread-Kayhauk (Doubtfully) We-ell I don ' t know. With little PSGL managing so well Airs. Pachacamac I must be running along. But before I go Here ' s what I came o r er to ask you. Just how long is Field day going to last? (The curtain falls too soon for us to hear Mrs. Oread-Kay- hawk ' s final speech.) Archie surveys the campus THE JAYHAWKER With Profuse Apolo- gies to Don Marquis by CARL SMITH THE boss had never given much credence to Don Marquis ' stories of how he found letters in his typewriter written during the night by Archie the Cockroach, who told Don he accom- plished this seemingly impossible feat by jumping onto the keys from the carriage, but the other morning as the boss entered the Jayhawker office he saw a cockroach scurrying beneath the remains of yester- day ' s cheese sandwich, and a letter on the sheet of paper someone had left in the machine. And so, again with apologies to Don, we give you the views of a cock- roach come in search of higher education. dear boss this registration and enrollment sure tires you out. of course i dont have to do any of it because i dont expect anyone to ask me for a course card but i dont want to miss out on any phase of college life. ive teen kicked about long enough, like i said to mehitable the cat mehitable said she was going to hitch hike out in a few days boss i said to her theres something big and fine in me mehitable and a college education will bring out the best in me but boss i guess theres a lot of them want a education a lot worse than i do. i wouldnt stand in line like that if i had t o go back to foraging for stray scraps in the alleys again. the food around -the sorority houses is sure good. like over at the pi phi house isabel perry always remembers she wants to reduce after she gets her plate and i find i can make a very elegant meal on what is left like that. and thanks for the cheese sandwich only i wish youd take mustard on your cheese, well i guess it must be in accordance with the traditions around here i dont see how you could do such a good job of keeping the fresh- men bewildered unless you did it on purpose, honest boss id go screwey if i had freshman chairmen running me thru the line four or five times and all those convocations and books full of rules and those squirelly guys trying to sell me a kansan. say that lyman field sure is crazy isnt he he sure tickles me. well im so tired from running around register- ing and enrolling i can hardly climb back on the carriage. ill let you know how classes are in a few days. yours ' archie dear boss well mehitable got here a few days ago like i said but shes afraid to come out today, she found a very charming gentleman cat that hung out around the kappa house and yesterday morning she couldnt find him and i told her why surely you dont think they ate him but mehitable says i dont know and now shes hiding over in dyche museum where she feels kind of at home theyve got a second cousin of hers stuffed over there. boss the food isnt as good as it was when i wrote the other letter i guess rush week being over makes a differ- ence huh. i missed my first class because it was on the third floor of fraser. i got there just as they were coming out. i got in the cuff of powell aubreys pants and made it to my next class all right. say i got in a class to day with flossie kehl she sure can ask silly questions. boss are they having a convention at the phi delt house. i was up there this morning and had to flee for my life. they over run the place they would have stepped on me sure, well boss about this food of course i have no complaint it is still better than average but now i dont give a damn whether the foods any good or not. last nite i went over to the phi gam house and just as i walked in somebody was thumbing a bottle of beer and squirted it all over me and i hung around a while and drunk the beer they spilled and later i went down to the kitchen and got in a fight with a rat and fin- ally i went down in the basement and a couple of crickets and me sang songs for a long time and as soon as i get rid of this hangover im going back. yours archie (Continued on page 68) OCTOBER, 1935 ft PERHAPS this little incident may make clear to some of you why so many of the boys are partial to the lodge of Pi Beta Phi. One morning not so long ago, a group of fellows were returning from a fishing trip and as the fish had been rather scarce, the disciples of Izaak Walton hied themselves into the DeLuxe cafe for a six o ' clock breakfast. No sooner had they seated themselves when in walked another party, not a fishing party this time, but a party of four, one of whom was a stunning blonde Pi Phi who hails within strik- ing distance of the air capital of the world. She was escorted by a tall dark Sig Alph, and well . . . Now freshmen, you will probably realize in a short time many of the advantages that are to be found here in Kansas. Brown ' s Grove on the south, Topeka on the west, State Lake to the north, Kansas City to the east, and last but not least, the Pi Phi house right here on our own beautiful campus. I wonder if I have left anything unsaid? If it wasn ' t for the fact that Charrie Hay, town girl and Kappa pledge, not without Kappa connections, just won ' t keep quiet for a little while and let someone else make a few of the mistakes, her name would positively not appear in print in this column. But good enough cannot be let alone and day by day, Miss Hay is making some kind of a name for herself. It is just the little things such as the little episode following that has made the name of Hay-Hay a college by-word. A few days ago, Sewell Black, Sig pledge, was engaged in conversation with the little girl with the bedroom eyes, when she happened to remark that she had danced the night before with a very dark boy whom she thought to be a Sigma Chi. Naturally, she wanted to know his name. Black, after a long list of names, suggested the name of Fred Taylor, who happens to be a colored Sigma Chi houseman, and much to his surprise found that Fred was the boy. Charrie admitted that she hadn ' t had any dates with him personally, but insisted that several of the other Kappas had, and they all thought he was the ce u test thing. At the date of this writing, Charrie has 17 demerits with only 8 to go before she is ineligible for initiation and has lost only four pledge pins. No doubt she will have to do quite a few little odd jobs around the house be- fore she will be seen sporting one of those pearl studded keys. Dick Hurry Cane from Bartlesville has be- come very Beta conscious during his few short weeks of pledgeship and has proved to be a rather embarrassing factor in the life of a certain Kappa pledge. It ' s an old Beta custom that the pledges of said lodge hold themselves aloof from the common herd, girls included, until they have instilled within themselves that quality which forever marks the wearers of the diamond as a typical Beta. Dick, however, is one of the few to have become aloof enough to coolly remark to a good-looking Kappa that she had best walk on alone as he doesn ' t want to be seen walking with her. Caution ! Dick, George Lemon tried that stunt a few years ago, and you can see where it got him. To the man who can get an invitation to a free night ' s lodging in the Theta house should come a good round of applause. For many moons and for many men, it has been but a dream; but to Jack Sleeper, Fiji of the old night school, it is now a reality. Coming in late one night after a date with Tance Burrow, Jack found himself without a place to rest his aching head. (This was before rush week and the majority of houses were as yet unopened.) Seeing the Burrow car unlocked and unoccupied, he settled there without further search for a cozy place to snooze. A short time after, the Thetas were awakened by a steady blast of the Burrow horn and rushed out to de- termine the source of the commotion. There they found poor Jack, sleeping peacefully with his head on the horn button. The Thetas, being a tender-hearted crew of lasses, sought permission from Mrs. Kay to house the weary boy for the night. And that, my friends, is how Jack Sleeper spent the night, unmolested and safe from harm, on a davenport in the Theta front room. (Continued on page 69) by RIP VAN WINCHELL THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes CLOTHES this fall are probably a sur- prise in some ways to most of us. At least, to yours truly at the Varsity this evening, the preponderance of dark and plain double-breasteds was very evident. Not that the plain double-breasted suit isn ' t the dressiest thing possible. Rather, though, with all of the smart sharkskins, British stripes and herringbones and diagonals that are being shown this sea- son, and being worn in the smarter places, they seem sort of drab. With the swing to double-breasted models and relegation of sports backs to the background until spring, of course, the first mention of double-breasteds immedi- ately calls attention to the smart Duke of Kent models, with their soft, long roll lapels, buttoning the bottom button. Bill Smiley of Kappa Sigma, and George Wright, the Phi Delt Student Council vice-president, are wearing this model in a grey British stripe, soft worsted fabric that are plenty smart numbers. Both carry, of course, side vents. Orchids to Stew Landrum of Phi Psi, who is the first we have seen wearing the model, which is going to bid for a lot of popularity this season, namely, a plain, three-button, single-breasted model with center vent. Stew ' s is in a blue and black mixture with a large herringbone weave. Chalk stripes of course, along with British stripes, are quite the thing. Chuck Lueck of Kappa Sig has chosen one, in the three-button single-breasted model in brown. by HIM Ye editor, Johnnie Chandler pre- fers a diagonal weave, in blue, unfinished worsted. Of course it ' s the Duke of Kent model with side vents and everything. Over at the Delt house the Kent model seems to be the reigning favorite also, Le Roy Bacon choosing a black sharkskin model, and there are several more mighty smart looking ones, too. Naturally, mention of the Kent model suit calls attention to shirts with wide- spread collars, named after the same gentlemen. And we might mention that early last spring this column gave con- siderable of a plug to this shirt. It ' s here and is being seen a lot on the campus. Other soft collars include those wide- spread button downs which are receiving much attention. The acceptance of raglan sleeve top- coats will be big, especially in models designed to be worn without a belt. As a suggestion, take a look at the single- breasted Balmaccan model worn by Don Dieter, Sigma Chi pledge. It ' s brown with a small check. Dick Mason, a chap who nearly always wears brown, and what ' s more, can wear it well, has chosen this same model in a rich brown, Alpaca fabric coat, with a small check. Bob Mor- ton down at Beta Haven has a double- breasted raglan sleeve model with belt all around and two pleats in the back, which he wears with a Kent roll suit of an oxford grey background and a sort of distinct plaid. A survey of the hat situation shows the overwelming popularity of the modi- fied alpine models. Those narrow snap brims are well liked. If one chooses to be more dressy there are the bound brims, in snap models which are following close upon the Homburgs. This hat is going over in a big way and we ' re going to see plenty of them this year. Now, getting down to the sox wool and wool mixtures are the best for all but dress wear, in stripes, Argyle plaids, and checks. What ' s more the sharper the color contrasts, the better they ' re liked. In sport shoes, keep an eye on the monk strap, brown suede or buckskin models which we advocated last spring. This fall, however, they are turning to the leather sole in this shoe. Brown in dress shoes is easily the leading color, being popular and correct with blues and (Continued on page 10) The professor is conduct- ing a lecture on the added value and smarter styling of Ober clothes.

That hectic, back-biting time of the year when all new fresh- men make their first impression, and sorority members vie with one another for the best class. Of course, clothes are one of the important features of a rushee. If she is attired in the latest styles, her chances are excellent not that one is judged purely on her clothes, of course, but they do help immensely. Certainly this year ' s crop can be rightly termed as well-dressed girls and many of the upper-classmen may be included in this group. Fur trim is as popular this year as it always has been. Ermine is an outstand- ing accessory, both on afternoon and eve- ning clothes. At one of the rush teas, Lorraine Luther, Pi Phi pledge, was seen wearing a smart black dress, trimmed with a white fur collar. A very tricky feature of the outfit was a white fur muff, matching the collar. Alexia Marks, pledge of Kappa, wore a dinner dress of black velvet, with a white fur collar which fell in loose folds about her neck. A cor- sage of gardenias looked stunning on it. For sport this season, plaid and plain wools seem to be the thing. Dorothy Fritz, new Theta pledge, wears to school a black, gray, and green plaid wool skirt and a gray woolly sweater, with an Ascot tie matching the skirt. Gertrude Field, of Pi Phi, dons a shirt waist dress of bright green wool for school. The three-cornered neckerchief is of red and green printed silk, resembling a paisley print. Suits play an important part in every coed ' s wardrobe this fall. Fur-trimmed suits especially are being shown for dress occasions, while the good old tailored suit still is appropriate for school pur- poses. Frances Karlan, Gamma Phi pledge, wore during rush week, a rust- colored tweed suit with huge, loose fur cuffs. With it she wore brown accessories. And have you seen Martha Davis, of Theta fame, in her latest ? It ' s one of the season ' s smartest outfits a blue and brown checked wool dress, very tailored, with a brown three-quarter length swag- ger coat. It ' s really the last word in sport fashion. Rachael Kiene, blonde Pi Phi, wore to the Pow-Wow a tailored suit of gray checked wool. The patch pockets on the coat, which is full length, were an interesting note. Cornelia Ann Miller, Gamma Phi pledge, sports a suit of brown flecked with white. The jacket is short, with it is worn a narrow brown patent leather belt. A bright orange sweater completes the outfit. Full and shorter skirts are the keynote of fashion in afternoon attire. Kid trim of gold and silver is seen every- where, especially among the college girls. Bertha White, Gamma Phi, wears a brown dress trimmed with gold kid belt and collar, as does Ruth Patterson, Kappa pledge. Ruth ' s dress, however, is of black crepe, with gold kid piping around the collar and down the front. Also for after- noon clothes velveteen is a serviceable material. Margaret Pyle, Pi Phi, was spotted at the opening varsity wearing a black velvet tunic dress, leaning toward the Russian mode. Helen Deere, of Kap- pa, wears one similar to it, in a rich red velvet, high at the neck. A stunning formal of turquoise velvet is worn by Ida Griffith, Pi Phi pledge. Her California tan sets it off very at- tractively. Patricia Owens, new Chi Omega pledge, fashions a bright blue crepe formal, with a high neck and white pique bow tie. As an example of sheer trimness, notice Jeanette Jenkins ' black crepe monk-style formal. It was her choice for the Pi Phi open house. Winter coats have not come into their own as yet, but soon they will be an important feature of this column. One of the smartest seen so far is worn by Cath- erine Dunkel, Alpha Chi. Brown tweed is the material, with a large raccoon fur (Continued on page 64) r,4 THE JAYHAWKER Sam Elliott takes a hard earned rest A Familiar Campus Figure, Retired After Forty-five Years of Faithful Service, Takes Time Off to Reminisce by PEGGY CLAYTON , I was telling the chancellor the other day that I would like to be assistant chancellor, assistant traffic cop, and head of general misinformation on Mt. Oread and then he would be hap- piest, for he was happiest plying his daily mail route among the students and faculty of our own, and his own dearest of alma maters. At the age of sixty- five and at forty-five years of service as a SAM ELLIOTT mail-carrier, he wants to come back and serve it and us again as he did for so long before. To describe him to you who probably know him so well already seems super- fluous, certainly, but to all freshmen and new students he must be introduced. The next time you see a man with a powerful physique, with kindly blue eyes, and whose words are philosophically inclined, you may be reasonably certain that he is Sam Elliott. What will strike you most about him, though, is that thing most difficult to define, bat most easily recog- nized the man ' s personality. You will see then why such people as S. J. Hunter, J. A. Keeler, Prof. E. F. Engel, A. D. Weaver, Prof. H. P. Cady, as well as many others, call him by his first name. He will tell you that the secret of success is in keeping busy at something that is worthwhile, and you will know that the secret of his success was found in himself which nothing external could touch. No, Sam can ' t fool us. It ' s because he ' s just himself that we like him. He says that the best years in life are between sixty and sixty-five, but we have enjoyed and bene- fited by all of his sixty-five years and hope to for many more. Talk to Sam any time, and ask him about Teddy Roosevelt, Harrison, McKinley, Taft. He knows about them first hand. Ask him anything about the history of this city or about how Has- kell looked when it wasn ' t Haskell at all, but only a cow pasture; he can tell you. He ' ll make you wish you had lived here when ! Ask him if he would like to go back to work sixty-five means retirement in the postoffice department you know What will he say? Well, it isn ' t what you ' d say after forty-five years of it. He ' d say, Yes ! And you ' d believe it. You see, Sam misses the people, new and old friends and would he like to go back! But he ' s doing a good job while vacationing. He seems to be living up to the proverbial mailman ' s holiday, managing to help an old friend get rid of too many cats under the back porch, to help build a house, to move museum relics, to see his old friends often, and to keep his home and grounds looking perfect, and enjoying it all the while, for to him that constitutes life. His daughter is one of our most popu- lar professors. Her name is as you pos- sibly have guessed, Maude Elliott. Be- sides this daughter, he has five other children, four of whom graduated from K. U. and among his proud posses- sions are several grandchildren. Although he never attended K. U. as a student, it was his greatest desire to do so, and he was thirty-three before he gave up the idea. Nevertheless, Sam feels that he owns at least a part interest in the place, and of the 4,000 students he says, I feel they ' re all mine. The funny part of it is, they who know him feel they are all his. To get happiness out of life, find something you admire and like about everybody. For one who had to go to work before he had a chance to attain the higher education which he craved ; who kept at that job faithfully and tire- lessly for so many years and enjoyed it! That philosophy should make us all blush ! And when he says it we can ' t help but realize its truth. What has he contributed to our Uni- versity and to our individual welfare? Let us mention these only a few of the many. Among them are a professor, known to us all; an ideal; a purpose; a hope ; a tradition ; and the contribution yet of a vivid and pervasive personality. Yes, to Sam Elliott we have many things for which we should be grate- ful. He says he never met a man he didn ' t like. Well, Sam, we ' re willing to bet that those words work both ways; a man never met you who didn ' t like you. FEMININE FASHIONS (Continued from page 63) for the colla r. It ' s sporty looking just the thing for a fashionable girl. As a last word, let us remind you to notice the individual bracelet worn by Betty Ann Jones, pledge of Kappa. It ' s called a Conversation Bracelet, having its origin in Europe. It consists of a small gold-linked chain, from which dangle many little gold and wooden objects shoes, cups, animals, even a thermometer. The craze can be expected to spread like fire over this continent soon. Fashion plays as important a role in college as the coed herself does. Styles have marked changes throughout the school year, and, obviously enough, the Kansas University lassies keep right up with Dame Fashion sometimes they ' re even ahead of her. Those men- tioned here are just a few of the many well-dressed girls on the Hill. Keep your eyes open, and you ' ll see for yourselves!

Cornelia Ann Miller OCTOBER, 1935 Uncle Jimmy Green the prince of sports A Tribute to the Memory of a Beloved Adviser and Popular Friend of Thousands of K. U. Grads by BILL BLECHA IN MEMORY OF JAMES WOOD GREEN 1842-1919 FORTY YEARS DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF LAW 1879-1919 THE STUDENTS ' COUNSELLOR AND FRIEND ERECTED BY THOSE WHO LOVED HIM CARVED into the base of the monu- ment which bears his likeness is this simple story of the life of Uncle Jimmy Green, the man who lived and died for Kansas University. But to the newcomer upon Mount Oread this brief inscription tells little of the man himself, the valued advisor of hundreds of young lawyers of this section, the central figure at all ath- letic rallies of the University, the beloved friend of every student who came to know him. Uncle Jimmy was not a native Kan- san but was bom at Cambridge, New York, April 4, 1842. He matriculated at Williams College, receiving his A. B. degree in 1866 and his A. M. degree in 1890. He was admitted to the bar in 1869 and began the practice of law at Olathe, Kansas, immediately afterwards. In his practice as in his life as a teacher and dean, he was clean and fine, and sincere. To him justice was as much desired as a victory at law, and these vir- tues soon brought him a good practice a practice so good, in fact, that many of his friends marveled that he gave it up to establish a school of law for the hand- ful of pupils such as first entered his classes. In 1897 James Wood Green founded and became dean of the law school at the University of Kansas. It was not his work as a teacher that endeared him to all. The university had other teachers equal to and even superior to Uncle Jimmy as an instructor. It was because he was such a man of the heart, because he was so genuinely interested in every student who came under his guidance, that made him the most beloved man on the Hill at K. U. He had no children of his own, but his heart went out to his students and they were all his boys. And so for forty years graduates and students went out from the University of Kansas carrying with them the pleasant memory of a man, who, although their dean and superior, had been one of them. To each new generation of students of the entire university, not of the law school alone, he was the spirit of this age, the man who understood them, who cham- pioned their cause. His official name was Dean James Wood Green, but he went under the more affectionate title of Uncle Jimmy by right of complete conquest of the student body ' s heart. The story is told that so great was the affection of every law graduate for Uncle Jimmy that no one set up his office without displaying the picture of this idol somewhere. Supporting the athletics of the school was a hobby with Uncle Jimmy. He was the kindling spirit and source of all the pep at athletic rallies of the univer- sity and was always called upon to prophesy the results of the big grudge battles with Nebraska and Missouri. His interest in the football teams dates from the start of the game at the University in 1871. Uncle Jimmy and his wife rep- resented the leading set in Lawrence and when they introduced the custom of an annual athletics dinner at their home, it soon was fashionable for the leaders of the town ' s social life to give parties and dinners for the team after the big games. These yearly banquets at the Green home continued until Mrs. Green ' s poor health made them impossible. In the early years of football at the University, Uncle Jimmy was elected to the Board of Athletics. In the nomi- nating speech made for him, he was referred to as the Prince of Sports and went under that title at the institution for many years. During the early days of football here the team was poorly equipped and dressed. They had no scientific protection from bruising contacts and injuries were frequent. Uncle Jimmy was always around to look after his boys, and for several years he was trainer and physician for the squad. Small wonder that the men of those years fought their hearts out for such a gentleman. Uncle Jimmy was proud and happy to know the students on the Hill regarded him so highly, but the one tribute that brought tears to his eyes occurred in 1905 at the dedication of the present Law building. As the date of the banquet to celebrate the completion of the new school fell near the birthday anniversary of the dean of the school, the event was made an annual one, and for over twenty- five years the Uncle Jimmy banquets were annual home-coming events for scores of Kansas lawyers. Never before or since has one man been so revered by both faculty and student body as was Dean Green. But for all his youthful enthusiasm and vitality, Uncle Jimmy was often physically ill and in 1918 and 1919 was stricken with heart attacks that finally, after frequent repetition, resulted in his death on November 4, 1919- Loved as he was, the death of Dean Green was a severe blow to the life of the University. Former students and friends all over the country mourned the death of this friend and adviser and recalled with each other this tribute that told Uncle Jimmy ' s life story best of all: For though be walked u ' itb sages. He kept the common touch ; Our dear old Uncle Jimmy Who loved us all so much. (3(5 THE JAYHAWKER New opportunities for youth Chancellor Lindley a Sponsor of the Nation ' s Plan to Provide an Education for Our Underprivileged Youth by DEAN MOORHEAD THE question, what can I do when I get out of school? is one which has become increasingly harder to answer during these past few years, both by high school and by college graduates. A few years ago the answer to such a question was easy. Youths graduating from high schools could reasonably depend either upon being able to attend college or upon obtaining satisfactory positions, while the college graduate found himself in demand and confronted only with the question of deciding which position to choose. Unfortunately, however, the past few years have radically changed such a set- up. Of the twenty-three million American youths between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, according to the latest census, only eleven million were employed, and only five million were in school. Seven million, or nearly one-third of the youth of the United States, could not be accounted for. You and I have seen part of this group tired, spiritless youths walking the streets or loafing in public places. Scorned by their more successful friends and berated by their misinformed relatives, these youths, denied either employment or future education, are in grave danger of being forced to abandon their youthful enthusiams and aspirations and of being driven into environments and habits which are definitely harmful to them and to society. A small, progressive group of educa- tors, our own Chancellor a leader among them, was first to awaken to the serious consequences which might be occasioned should such a situation be allowed to con- tinue. Reasoning that the extensive gov- ernment public welfare plans could not overlook such a major social problem as this, these educators sought for and obtained the government student aid plan, popularly known as the C. S. E. P. Embodying, as it does, the employment of thousands of college students on worthwhile projects, this plan is making possible college educations for many who otherwise could never have obtained them. But such a plan is limited it offers nothing for those who do not care to go to college; its usefulness is limited to those of college age; and it makes no provision for the future of those whom it trains. A more extensive program for youth has been needed. By executive order in June of this year, President Roosevelt made pos- sible such a program. Under the WPA a new department known as the National Youth Administration, was created. This new department, directed by a national committee of thirty-four prominent Amer- icans, Chancellor Lindley and Glenn Cunningham among them, has launched a four-point program which seems to point to a new deal for modern youth. The first two points of this program provide for those who do not plan to go to college. A limited number will be placed upon regular WPA projects, while another group will be employed to con- duct a nation-wide unemployment census. The data gathered from this census will be used by both the WPA and the NYA as a supplement to existing figures con- cerning employment. More interesting is the second part of the plan which con- templates the placing of youths in their chosen fields of business. Plans are being formulated to work out a cooperative sys- tem with employers so that unemployed youths, aided by national funds, will be placed in businesses as apprentices, there to spend definite lengths of time in learn- ing and applying actual business prin- ciples and practices. This project, if actually put into practice, will indeed be an example of the way in which coopera- tion between the government and between business can help in solving national problems. Unfortunately, however, the plans for this project are at present being hindered due to the possibility of a con- flict between their views and those of organized labor. It is also planned to use a large number of unemployed youths as youth workers. Available figures reveal an amazing shortage of youth workers athletic instructors, play ground super- visors, and Boy and Girl Scout leaders. The NYA plans to provide training for persons interested in such work and to set them at work in taking care of a por- tion of the recreational side of its program. The last two phases of this program, dealing with present and prospective college students, are of more interest to us. Of primary interest to college students is the continuance of student aid. The C. S. E. P. is to be continued upon approximately its present basis. Its scope, however, is being broadened to include similar aid for high school students who come from families on relief. Another new feature makes provision for extra aid to graduate students who wish to carry on studies in specific subjects. One of the most interesting features of the plan as it is to be worked put in Kansas is the creation of a series of freshman colleges. These colleges, sponsored by the various state schools, will be established in high schools where sufficient interest is shown to insure medium attendance and the provision of light, heat, and space. Classes in subjects selected by the prospective students will be held both at day and at night. Such classes will be taught by unemployed graduate students, this, a part of the graduate C. S. E. P. plan mentioned above, by qualified high school teachers, and by competent local persons who vol- unteer for the work. The classes will be open to all, and their credits will be ac- cepted by state schools, providing that the student upon first coming to college from a freshman college satisfactorily completes his first semester ' s work. Vocational and non-credit classes will be conducted in these schools, primarily for those who do not intend to go to college. Training for public service will be stressed in these schools, while place- ment boards and committees will advise students concerning their future work and will assist them in finding positions. Such, briefly, is the program of the N. Y. A. a combination of work relief, job training, education, and stu- dent aid. The obstacles confronting the plan are many its funds, fifty million dollars from the WPA allotment, are insufficient; the N. Y. A. itself is a temporary organization ; and the pro- gram must feel its way along without guide or previous example. However, important as are the difficulties of the plan, it is more important and significant that at last youth ' s predicament has been recog- nized and that attempts are being made to better it. Experiment though it is, the development of the N. Y. A. program should be watched with interest by the whole of American youth.

Dean Lawson was soon appointed professor of the Department of Entomology and was given the job of assistant dean, also. After the death of Dean J. C.

The word of administering all the divi- sions of the Union is placed in the hands of a manager, and perhaps a word about our present manager, Bill Cochrane, who was a student here not so long ago, would rot be amiss. During the two years that Mr. Cochrane has been manager, the Union has progressed greatly, and has increased in popularity. Although he denies the fact, it is chiefly through his efforts that so many of the necessary improvements have been made. Although the manager welcomes any suggestions or criticisms about any phase of the Union, he also welcomes your acquaintance.

Phone 856 THE HEAD MAN (Continued from page 1) ) since formed the foundations of policy for the Ford Motor Company. It has been a matter of extreme interest to Chancellor Lindley to watch these ideas mature. Nor did Chancellor Lindley confine his teaching to Indiana University. He wrote many articles for scientific journals and spent his summers lecturing at Clark University and at Columbia. In 1916 he was invited to lecture at Reed College and other points in the Northwest. His lectures upon this trip, largely upon psychology and its relation to some phase of human life, became immediately popu- lar. Newspaper accounts tell of crowds at these lectures which taxed the capacity of available auditorium and halls. Every- one who heard the lectures was impressed by the speaker ' s knowledge of his sub- ject and by his personal charm and tact. His tact was often needed upon this trip. Once, when about to speak at Reed Col- lege upon psychology and its relation to health, Dr. Lindley found himself con- fronted with an audience composed largely of practicing physicians and of Christian Scientists. Each side was ready to fly at the other ' s or at Dr. Lindley ' s throat upon the slightest provocation. It was a ticklish situation, yet so adroitly did Dr. Lindley handle it that he was later congratulated by members of both groups for his fairness and for the logic behind his words. The favorable impression made upon this tour was largely responsible for his being offered the presidency of Idaho University in 1917. At the same time he was offered membership upon the com- mittee of five psychologists which com- piled the now famous Alpha and Beta Army Intelligence Tests. Chancellor Lindley declined to the latter offer and began his work at Idaho. Despite the confusion occasioned by the war and by the interference of local politics, Chan- cellor Lindley ' s work had, in less than three years, assumed immense propor- tions. Politics was divorced from uni- versity affairs; enrollment had increased sixty per cent; a state school of forestry had been established; and under uni- versity direction Idaho had made the big- gest increase of any state in the develop- ment of agriculture to meet war-time needs. Chancellor Lindley had, in the words of a leading Idaho newspaper, made Idaho University into a splendidly running machine. In 1920 Chancellor Lindley was again forced to make a choice between busi- ness with its attractive financial offers and education with its opportunities for serv- ice. In accepting the position of head of Kansas University in that year, he turned down an important position as personnel head of a large northwestern lumber firm a position which offered a financial return far greater than that which could be expected by any educator. It is to Kansas ' benefit that he decided as he did. His work here is too well known to bear repetition. K. U. students are justly proud of the progressive insti- tution which has developed under his guidance. To him they rightfully attribute many of the forward strides which Kansas has made during the past few years. Their pride in K. U. reflects in pride in its Chancellor a progressive administra- tor, a stimulating teacher, a man of vital contacts with men and affairs, but above all, a thorough scholar and a fellow- student. CAMPUS POLYLOGIA (Continued from pigf 61 1 Then there were two more Pi Phis, this time escorted by a pair of Phi Gams, who went out one evening for a little drive. This time, the trouble came from driving unfrequented roads. When it came time to start home, the highway was nowhere to be found ; so the unfortunates kept driving until they saw the lights of a distant town which they took to be Lawrence. As it was then ten-thirty, you can imagine their embarrassment when they found that the lights they perceived were not in Lawrence, but Topeka. A phone call from the capital city paved the way for a successful late entrance, how- ever, and so there you have another good excuse for bringing your date in late to the Pi Phi house. Some time shortly after rush week was but a bad dream to most of us girls, somebody phoned up the Theta house late one evening and in an unsteady voice asked Esther Grant, a new pledge, if she knew of any good looking girl with a car who didn ' t have a date. As usual all the gals at the Theta house were dated up, but Esther, being an obliging girl, informed the voice that he might phone (Continued on j Jg ? 7 9 BE EXACT IN YOUR APPEARANCE IT ' S ASSURED AT THE HOTEL ELDRIDGE BARBER SHOP Phone 2019 70 THE JAYHAWKER CAMPUS CLOTHES (Continued from page 62) greys as well as with brown clothing, especially if worn with a brown hat. Among the other new suits we ' ve seen around the last few days Lon Buzick in a pleated back, single-breasted brown mixture John Hamshaw and a Kent Roll, as well as Francis Kappleman of basketball fame in another. Over at the Phi Gam house, there ' s Bruce Gleis- ner and Hazlett Steiger who chose the Kent roll models in dark patterns of sharkskin. At the Pi K A house the Pip- kin brothers prefer the Kent model, Mar- shall in a blue with white chalk stripe, Wade, in a sharkskin. Elton Nickel of S. P. E. takes to Herringbone in a grey long roll double-breasted suit. Bob Allen, a snappy dresser at the Delt house, selected a rough fabric dark double- breasted lounge type suit. As cooler weather comes along we ' re going to be looking for an increase of the softer fabrics in small and colorful checks and mixtures, primarily in the single-breasted models. This jacket with its plain back is due to be one of the smart sport models by next spring. In regard to colors, blue is coming back, brown is easily holding its own, with the lighter greys, that is slightly lighter than the oxfords bc-ing the leader. Fabrics are rough or rough appearing, such as sharkskin, unfinished diagonals, and the like. Last but not least, the potentialities of smart combinations of jacket and trousers are as great as ever with all the new slacks that are being snown. Sweaters enter here with sport backs being the favorites in both slipover and open fronts. A newcomer is the button front style which is pretty nice. POWDER PUFF POLITICS (Continued from page 49) The sophomore officers are Barbara Hum- phrey, vice-president, and Dorothy Cald- well, secretary. Both of them are girls of the type the council is glad to have as members. The freshman officers, chosen last autumn and serving until the new elections this October, are Catherine Dunkel, the vice-president, and Georgia Sue Reuter. They have both made satisfactory records in their respective positions. Dorothy Trekell comes as representative from Watkins Hall while Loreen Cosandier is the representative from Corbin. The halls could not have chosen finer representatives. This ends the list of officers on the council but does not complete it without mention of the advisors. Woman as she slowly progresses in her new capacity moves tentatively, not perfectly assured yet which ways are best. She learns gradu- ally by experience and passes this accumu- lated knowledge on from sister to sister. It is as older sisters that the three mem- bers of the advisory board help the W. S. G. A. council. Without the advice and direction of Miss Meguiar, Miss Neuenschwander, and Miss Morrison the council many times would be at a loss to know how to settle certain questions. From their own experiences, they pro- vide helpful guidance for which the council is truly grateful. As sisters in the one cult of woman- kind, to their sisters on the campus, the council offers again the Kansas Women ' s Creed and hopes the memory of it will be a constant inspiration in their daily living: THE KANSAS WOMEN ' S CREED I believe in the women of the Uni- ( Continued on page 75) WE WONDER HOW MR.

PIGSKIN PROBLEMS (Continued from page 17) Although sport writers are busily engaged in forecasting the results of the conference season, whether Nebraska will win, or whether Oklahoma will come through to the title under their new director, Lawrence Biff Jones, or whether Kansas State will recover suffi- ciently from their 3-to-O defeat at the hands of little Fort Hays State College to display any of the power that made them champions last year, it is generally acknowledged that Kansas will be among the leaders, and is definitely to be reckoned with in accounting the final standings. Although it is a bit early to forecast the results of the Kansas-Nebraska tilt, always one of the high spots of the football season, it is safe to say that the game will have an entirely different aspect than did that of last year, when a field goal was the margin of the Corn- husker victory, for the boys from Kansas will go to Lincoln with a well-rounded team that should make the contest one of the greatest battles in years. As for Missouri, their 7-to-O win over the little Warrensburg Teachers is not indicative of too much strength. LATE BULLETIN!! Kansas 42, St. Benedicts Douglass led the scoring parade with two touchdowns in the first win, and Peterson, Morland, Hayes, and Decker counted one each as the Jayhawkers worked out two full backfields, both showing a versatility of offense that has not been seen here in several years. Rutherford B. Hayes continued his sterling play at end and is already being men- tioned as possible All-American material, as did Sklar and McCall at the guard positions. That tells the story of Ad Lindsay ' s fighting Jayhawkers ' decisive victory over St. Benedicts College in the first home game of the season. It is needless to elaborate upon the winning plays of the contest, but in their home debut the Lindsaymen demonstrated with great gusto the offense that has been sought so eagerly for several years, which, coupled with the stonewall defense always to be found in a Kansas team, will make them one of the strongest elevens in the Big Six.

Old Man Kaw, who probably knows more about the private lives of our fel- low studes than anybody else, baptized an uninitiated member of the oar club a few days ago as a party of the pleasure seekers paddled up the roaring river for a quiet evening on the sand.

After the formality of eating burned steaks, etc., was over, the various members of the party of eight searched around over the ground for a a suitable spot to count the stars. Some time later, although the details are quite hazy, it seems that Bob went out in search of another log to put on the fire. But instead of walking into the timber where one would naturally go in search of fire- wood, he walked calmly out into the river. Bob had a rather plausible excuse for the mistake though, for you see he was out with Mary Jane Fees, who is quite enough to mix anyone up on just what way to go. DICTAPATORS (Continued from p-igf 41 1 it is the plan to have Forums enabling the individuals interested in the problem to mull it over intelligently by having a qualified person lay the situation before them and then to throw the meeting open to general remarks. Plans for the Forums appear very inviting as well as interest- ing, and the Council aims to successfully develop and conduct them to add to the intellectual life of the stude nt. n The success of self-government lies as much in the student body as in the members of the Council, and its value is not questioned by those interested in their university as well as their own development. The Men ' s Student Council stands for service to the University and to the student body it represents. Its activities are governed by obvious changes, necessities, and developments confronting the school and the students. In order that the Council may function to add to the host of opportunities already awaiting the man at K. U., a certain amount of interest and confidence must be present among the student body. On the other hand the students cannot have confidence in a group devoting time to petty political bickering. So we see that it is a matter of mutual cooperation and confidence. The men of Kansas have shown a new interest in self-government, but it was evidenced only because they believed that this self-government might add to their lives as students and to the University. The Men ' s Student Council appreciates the quickened student pulse and by forceful, courageous, and effective action will endeavor to prove that the trust in them has not been misplaced.

How best to contribute to the sum of your happiness at this season has engaged the common thought of all the concerns and individuals that call Country Club Plaza HOME. Beyond the thought of what it may inspire you to buy for your gift list, we send you, Faculty, Students and Friends of the University of Kansas -Jayhaivkers all the good wishes, of what has been called The most interesting business center in America. Some of you reside in communities a hun- dred, two hundred miles or more removed from The Plaza and Kansas City, of which it is proud to be a part. We hope you will come to The Plaza sometime during the Holidays to enjoy both. Thousands of twinkling lights in all the colors there are speak a Christmas welcome. Giant candles, such as are beyond descrip- tion, adorn the street intersections and corners. Huge red bells sway in the wintry breeze. Christmas trees, aflame at night, have sprung into life along the curbs. From the towers, by the wizardry of electricity, peals Christmas music. Santa from his roof top speaks to little boys and girls, for whom Christmas was designed. Where the Christmas For, in a manger, 1935 years ago, a child lay. The story of the Three Wise Men, who, seeing His Star, came with Frankincense and Myrrh, established the thought of giving gifts on the day of His Birth. Thank God, that custom perseveres. The Plaza would be, is, a place where it is a pleasure to think of and select those things which convey the spirit of giving without thought of reward to friends and loved ones; to those less fortunate than ourselves. From the four corners of the globe have been brought to The Plaza the things that are worthy to express the finer sentiments of those who must spend guardedly as well as those who need not count the cost. A Dime or a Nickel means something in Country Club Plaza ' s shops and stores. The budget of a K. U. Student feels no strain. But there need be no limit. A wide choice awaits the shopper-guest. But do not feel because you come to The Plaza you are expected to buy.

Feature material for this issue will include group pictures of the professional fraternities, the sophomore beauty queens, and a chronological account of the Jayhawker basketball season up to that time. There will be the usual eight page rotogravure section presenting beauty, personalities, and outstanding events. The masculine element will be given an opportunity to get back at Betty Ruth Smith for her criticisms of the K. U. boys which appear in this issue, with a story entitled Facts About Kansas Women. The writer for this defense of the males ' honor has not yet been selected, but we guar- antee you an interesting article. The latest things in men ' s and women ' s wearing apparel will be presented in the fashion columns, Rip van Winchell will be with us with the latest gossip, and the spokesman will keep the Social Wheel spinning. Another treat is in store for the men, at least a part of them. A student connoisseur will write a feature story on the fine art of smoking pipes, with valuable hints as to the selection and care of a pipe. This story, which will be illustrated both with photographs and artists ' drawings, should be of more than usual interest to a considerable portion of the boys on the Hill. And if the women don ' t care for the practice of pipe smoking themselves, they can at least convince themselves by perusing this article that a pipe is something more than a miniature incinerator.

THURSDAY 31 Freshmen women have their annual election and the Independ- ents sweep everything and everybody before their powerful machine. General Hugh Johnson gives a stirring speech at the auditorium. NOVEMBER SATURDAY 2 One of those story-book games at Norman with the Jayhawkers throwing a long pass in the last minute of play to win 7-0. THURSDAY 7 Pachacamac wins three of the four freshmen offices, losing only one Dance Manager and that due to the proportional system of voting. FRIDAY 8 Mammouth Rally in prepa- ration for the Title game at Nebraska Dance at the gym and everything. The Engineers burst forth with the Annual Hob-Nail Hop which this year was one of the most outstanding of the varsities All Hail to the Engineers! SATURDAY 9 Title hopes of the Jay- hawkers fade before the mighty onrush of the Huskers, 19-13 a game in which the lead changed three times. SATURDAY 16 The Jayhawkers returned to their power by taming the boys from Colorado by a 12-6 score. Here at home the Delta Chi ' s and the Pi K A ' s continue the social whirl while the rest of the children attend the follies in the city at the Mainstreet Theater. MONDAY 18 The debaters from Oxford gave a very entertaining evening at the expense of the Kansas debaters it was really quite an affair. Sigma Delta Chi delegates came back from the National Convention with the cup for the most outstanding chapter in the country. THURSDAY 21 The girls held the Inter-Organization sing-fest with the Alpha Delta Pi ' s declared the winners. At least it kept the girls out of mischief while they were practicing, and from what we hear, they spent some little time rehearsing. FRIDAY 22 Big rally at the auditorium followed by the ROTC fling and the Phi Gam party at the house The ROTC party being held at the Union Building not the Phi Gam house; too many officers would certainly put a dent on the Fijis ' having a good (?) time. SATURDAY 23 Woe is me the Jay- hawkers were trodden in the dust by the Iowa Cyclone to the a song of 21-12. That night attempting to forget their troubles, the social wheel included the K Club Varsity and the Gamma Phi Winter Formal Party which incidentally starts off with a bang the series of soror- ity parties. SUNDAY 24 The time 9:30; the place anyone of several sorority houses. Why is everyone coming in so early oh, yes, we forgot to mention that for violating rushing rules the girlies must come in at 9:30 on Sunday evenings for the rest of the semester. WEDNESDAY 27 The day dawns dark and gray but soon the campus begins to liven up with the bustle and hustle of a bunch of sorry looking creatures of course, you guessed it; Hobo Day is here with the duck race, rally, and dance at the gym and everything. Tonight we have the big torch-light parade with floats and what-not, followed by a big Homecoming Varsity at the Union from ten till one. DECEMBER, 1935 91 VOLUME XLVIII DECEMBER, 1935 NUMBER 2 Published periodically by the Undent body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the ]ayhauker Board. A record of events and personalities, and a reiieit ' of campus trends and opinions. JOHN E. CHANDLER Editor-in-Chief ROBERT E. KENYON Business Manager , WITH the holiday sea- son upon us the Jay- hawker ruffles up his fea- thers. shakes the snow Jf - from his wings, puts on his winter overcoat, and prepares to wish all the faculty and students a Merry Christmas. Before we leave school for a two weeks ' vaca- tion, however, the old bird wants to com- ment on a few goings on around Oread and introduce a couple of new features to Jayhawker readers. The weeks since the appearance of the last Jayhawker have been packed with interesting events which we try to present kaleidoscopically in the following pages. Some of the ancient Kansas fire and spirit seemed to come back this fall, as an enthusiastic and loyal student body backed a fighting football team and howled lustily for tiger meat and a corn- husking bee. Nearly every game was preceded by a huge student rally, and school spirit was kept at a high pitch until the final whistle of the Turkey Day game. The Jayhawker rooters followed the team to Nebraska nearly a thousand strong and shamed the denizens of Lincoln with their unconquerable spirit both before and after the game. The powers that be saw fit to allow the student body to celebrate Home- coming in the traditionally accepted man- ner, and the campus was turned into a hobo jungle for a day. Due to the fart that many left a day early for home and mother, the crowd was a bit thinner than in previous years, but the same old spirit was there. The Jayhawker somehow feels that a little less regimenta- tion, a little more individual- ism, and a departure from the idea of making hobo day an advertisement for the Athletic Department, would add greatly to the spirit and effect of the occasion. A long dormant volcano burst into violent eruption last month when the members of Women ' s Pan- Hellenic arrived at a decision to slap each other ' s wrists for being naughty girls during rush week. Really, children, it ' s shocking to hear that the Greeks have been resorting to such nasty tricks as spiking and hot-boxing to fill their houses. When this alarming state of affairs was brought to the attention of the Pan-Hellenic Council, they immedi- ately decided without debate (at least not very much ) , that the evildoers should be made examples, so with a simplicity and naivete surprising in Kansas co-eds, they fined themselves one hour ' s dating per week for the rest of the semester. It was probably a good thing though; the girls will have a chance to get ac- quainted with those pledges they were so dishonest in getting, and the scholarship average will no doubt soar. The method of cancel- lation employed by the men in handling rush week penalties is much more simple and probably more civilized. The winter social season is getting into full swing as the Jayhawker appears, and the co-eds are draining the family pocketbooks for new formals. while the boys are reluctantly dragging their bibs and tuckers from the mothballs. There is considerable conniving and scheming among the Greeks as to how to pay off social obligations with a maxi- mum of justice and a minimum of broken hearts. It is at about this time that the round of formal parties is supplemented by a sprinkling of consolation dinners and similar affairs. Items of this nature are very capably discussed by the Spokes- man in his regular feature The Social Wheel. The Jayhawker took flight to Kansas City during the Thanksgiving holiday and visited the annual motor show. An account of what he saw in the way of the latest in transportation will be found in the following pages. We realize that an article of this type is an innovation in the Jayhawker, and that it is not typi- cal college annual material. It was explained in the initial issue, however, that an attempt is being made this year to make the periodical spirit permeate this publication more than ever before, and the auto show story is a step in that direction. It also seems to the editor that nothing could be more appropriate in a college publication than such a story. Surely there is more interest in motor cars among college students than in any comparable group. Since October the campus has seen the passing of another Jayhawk tradition of ancient origin, the wearing of the freshman cap. While the K Club as a whole was fairly moderate and just in enforcing the cap rule, an adverse public opinion induced by a hasty and ill- ( Continued on page 166) CBUM1NG THE FOOTBALL QUEEN THE JAYHAWKER Rally, rally by FRANKLIN D. MURPHY A BRIEF glance at the second phase of the school year 1935-36 as measured by the Jayhawker reveals a most eventful six weeks. True that much has occurred which might be relegated to the phrase Much ado about nothing, yet more true is the fact that many eventful incidents have occurred to make the picture more interesting. Many of the Hill ' s social lights were stunned and thrown into confusion upon the announcement that until further notice the Mid-Week Varsities were to be danced to the tunes of canned music. An attempt on the part of the local Musicians Union to raise the price paid a band on these occasions caused Bill Cochrane, manager of the Union, to take such a stand, and at the present writing the matter is still at an impasse. Some several thousand spectators streamed into the Memor- ial Stadium on Saturday, October 5, desirous of witnessing a football game scheduled between K. U. and St. Benedicts. These same spectators streamed out of the afore-mentioned stad- ium some minutes later aware that Kansas had achieved a decisive victory yet more impressed with one of the most com- plete exhibitions of gouging, slugging, and kicking ever observed on the University gridiron. Such pleasantries as a fractured skull, twisted knee and double ejection from the game allowed the spectators an unusual respite from the activity of an ordinarj ' college football game. Yet it is reasonable to assume that an exhibition of this nature certainly falls far short of producing the desired effect among the followers of the pigskin. The next event of consequence, which imposes itself on our reflection, has been termed by some Kansans, The Tragic Twelfth, for on the twelfth of October a raging northern blizzard overtook a wandering band of Jayhawkers up Michigan way, and left them very much snowed under. Enough said ! The phrase, Much Ado About Nothing, might well be applied to the restimulation of the imminent Red Menance on the K. U. campus by a very well executed publicity stunt. The University awoke one morning to find handbills scattered over the campus decrying a certain motion picture which was coming to one of the Lawrence theaters as being unfair in its description of the naive students ' relation to the insidious influ- ence of Communism. Remembering the scholarly and subtle warnings of a few weeks previous, the matter was discussed by only the most courageous, and then in hushed voices. How- ever, the source of the bills was discovered, and the crisis passed, dumping the whole matter into the category described above by Shakespeare ' s immortal phrase. Among the interesting sidelights of the K. U.-St. Benedict ' s game was the rather unusual activity on the part of a group of individuals known as the K Club, so named because of valiant work and achievement on the field, and in the gymnasium. Their attempt to paddle one of their own group for his refusal to co-operate in matters of dress and equipment aroused no little comment, as regards the group as well as the advisability of paddling generally. The University faculty, in meeting assembled, expressed their feelings in the form of a resolution strongly urging the abolishment of paddling. In the face of a barrage of criticism the K Club turned back to the Men ' s Student Council the official right to preserve certain traditions in relation to the freshmen. This placed the problem squarely on the shoulders of Lyman Stalin Field and his proletariat. The matter of traditions is still an unanswered question; we hope not for long. The Annual Nightshirt Parade and the resultant hyperen- thusiasm of the students in several of the Lawrence theaters was no illusion according to the irate managers of these theaters, who pointed to damaged chairs and signs with a feeling not usually described as happy. The enthusiasm reached a new high when a group of the more ambitious students made a short trip to Manhattan leaving behind as proof of their visit a well- painted campus, this being in violation of a solemn pact signed by K. U. and K. S. C. several years ago. A well-worded letter was dispatched in haste indicating our loss to explain this gross violation of the pact and to show our belief in the effect of such a sedative, the Kansas campus was put under guard the next night. The enthusiasm must have been contagious for on the fol- lowing afternoon, the K. U. gridmen rolled the Kansas State wildcat up and down the field at will which according to the dope sheet was not as it should have been, but which according to the yards gained from scrimmage was exactly right. The effect of such a victory on the student body was not long in coming to the front, for it was only a few days later THE JAYHAWKER that the students first gave evidence of the ir real enthusiasm. About nine o ' clock one evening, the Hill whistle was blown, naturally giving rise to the thought that one of the University buildings was on fire. With gleeful shouts of joy the students rushed up the Hill so as to assist the fire in doing a complete job, if possible. When it was discovered that there was no fire and no chance of a fire in sight some of the members of one of the more active school organizations, the Ku Ku ' s, took the situation in hand and suggested a rally. In a very short time several hundred students had gathered on the Hill, and amidst cheering and singing, marched onto the front lawn of our Chancellor ' s home. Crying No school tomorrow, they aroused the Chancellor from a sound sleep and prevailed on him to make a few remarks. He commended the fine spirit and enthusi- asm but reluctantly refused the demand for no school. After a few more cheers the group dispersed bringing to an end a very successful rally as well as initiating a series of psuedo-rallies which cropped up daily indicating that Kansans felt their foot- ball team was going places. From a cultural standpoint this next week was quite event- ful. The University auditorium was filled to overflowing by the magnetic Fritz Kreisler and his violin. For two hours the stu- dent audience sat enthralled by this master of the strings, who proved conclusively that his international fame was not ill-deserved. A few days following Kreisler, the father of the now defunct Blue Eagle, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, appeared before a University audience to expound some of his economic theories. The General known variously as The Harmless Harpoon, The Chocolate Soldier, and The Verbose Volcano spoke for several hours before a curious crowd and succeeded in at least satisfying their curiosity. The K. U. footballers, taking time out from their academic pursuits, invaded Soonerland on the next Saturday and pro- duced a stunning victory by means of a long last minute pass, throwing Kansas to the top of the Big Six football heap. The effect of said victory on the student body might be described as closely akin to the effect of dousing a roaring wood fire with gasoline. The next week was theoretically an ordinary school week, but football was really in the air and many students were simply marking time till the gridiron clash with the Corn- huskers. Only the well executed student play, False Gods, and the first of the Student Forums were able to hold their own against this tremendous enthusiasm prevalent on the Hill. Bruce Bliven, editor of The New Republic conducted this very suc- cessful forum, and his stimulating discussions in reference to free thought, academic, social and economic freedom proved one of the highlights of the year. The response to Bliven ' s lec- ture by the faculty, as well as the students, gave definite proof that free speech and thought will continue to be an integral part of the fundamental makeup of our University, despite remarks to the contrary. It is hoped that these student-sponsored forums will be as worthwhile and as fine as the first. Again we apply Shakespeare ' s, Much ado about nothing to the typical freshman election with the usual untruths and annoying ballyhoo. It seems rather too bad that the eager enthusiasm of freshmen must so soon turn to cynicism. All roads lead to Lincoln ! And so it was. After a most effec- tive rally on Friday afternoon, a large majority of the stu- dent body boarded train and car for Huskertown. On the fol- lowing morning with natural enthusiasm supplemented by that produced artificially, the band and some thousand K. U. stu- dents held up traffic on the main streets of the Nebraska state capital for a matter of an hour, marching up one street and down another assuring the Cornhuskers that their football team was facing sure defeat. The end of the game found the K. U. gridsters marching off the field on the short end of a very close score. Fighting tooth and nail against a superior Nebraska team, the Jayhawkers gave a grand exhibition of the spirit and cour- age for which they are so famed. A bit downcast due to the final score, yet proud of their Fighting Bootballers, the stu- dents returned to Lawrence for further investigation into the fertile fields of economics, history, etc. The next week brought forth several important events of an intellectual nature this time. Wilfred Husband, brother of our former Dean of Women, entertained the University with pic- tures and a running explanation of Japan as is seen today. Hus- band combined the economic, social, political and geographic aspects of the island kingdom into a very effective lecture. The following day Chancellor Lindley announced the selection of four students to represent K. U. in the state Rhodes Scholar- ship competition, and soon after Phi Beta Kappa released a list of seven men and women picked for membership because of sterling scholarship. Before the close of the week student leaders staged an All-University Convocation on the subject of peace. The event excited an unusual amount of favorable com- ment among students and faculty alike, for in contrast of ill- planned demonstration last year, this convocation showed the result of cool-headed and constructive thought on the most pertinent subject of Peace. The week was brought to a close by the successful invasion of Colorado University by the stalwart Kansas football team. v BUTTON, BUTTON THE K. U. EXHIBIT FOR THE AMERICAN ROYAL DECEMBER, 1935 j TM EARNING MY WAY THROUGH COLLEGE In the past one of the most impotent and least active organ- izations on the Hill has been the Women ' s Pan-Hellenic Council, composed of representatives of the various organized houses. An occasional meeting supplemented by less occasional business was the usual activity of this group in days of yore. Not dormant any longer is the organiz ation. Catalyzed by a feud between two sororities and stimulated by an active and interested leader, the Council lifted the veil surrounding girls ' rushing and discovered a smoldering bed of intrigue and villainy. When the smoke of battle cleared, parting ' s Sweet sorrow had been shoved forward an hour on Sunday night in regard to six or seven sororities which caused only a few of the more entangled male students to object strenuously. An entertaining event on the Hill each year is the Oxford- K. U. debate which might reasonably be called a misnomer. From past experience we are forced to assume that the English dislike debating and this year was no exception, for before the end of the first speech, the debaters obligingly turned the meet- ing into a wise crack contest, with the English generally conceded first in the encounter. Following the example set by the fraternities last spring, the sororities held a Sing, which was well attended by the stu- dents. For more than an hour the audience was well entertained by feminine voices moulded to suit the clever and interesting arrangements of their respective songs. These Sings are well on their way to become permanent institutions and reasonably so. The representatives of K. U. on the football field found themselves engaged by an Iowa State cyclone on Saturday, November 23, and before they could dig in were swept off the field and out of undisputed possession of second place in the Big Six. Lacking a scoring punch as well as an adaquate pass defense, the Jayhawkers were outplayed and outsmarted by the fighting band from Ames. That thing appeared again on the gloomy and dreary campus, Monday, November 25. The goat this time was none other than the holy of holies, ye old Time magazine. (Editor ' s note the author is trying to point out the fact that the Sour Owl finally met and conquered the deadline.) With the appearance of this humorous publication, the reading public found a one time fine idea run deeper into the ground. The Alpha Xi Delta boys, who are majoring in the new course Elevatoring in Ten Easy Lessons, were at the bot- tom of the recent mess. (Editor ' s note it may be noted that the boys are learning the upward course much better than the downward.) With an expert bit of log-rolling, the new mem- bers of the farm yard addition set one of their men up on the high and mighty pedestal of the most fasinating male. Not being satisfied with that they also placed his lady love on a similar pedestal, called the most alluring female. One would think that such high and exalted positions would come as a result of a spontaneous general election. At this point it might be well to remember the old quotation, You can pull yourself up by your boot-straps just so far . Wednesday about noon the various organized houses began to take on a festive air, as the homecoming decorations appeared. This time as before the major part of them were carried by the proverbial Jayhawk and Tiger in various and sundry poses. Pi Beta Phi had the tiger hanging from a gallows, the Sigma Chi ' s had him roped by a cowboy, and the Theta ' s had him battered to pieces. The decorations of four houses were so good that they split the prize among the group. The returning grads began to filter into the various hangouts about twilight that evening, and the places took on a familiar air. Most of them did not look any the worse for wear, after being out in the cold cruel world fighting with this thing called the depression. However, the undergraduates were seeking information with an eye to the future, when they would be in the same boat. The big Turkey Day with Missouri in sight, the dampened enthusiasm of the Kansans soared once again assisted by a rally in the Auditorium at which time Bert) ' Grove was elected Homecoming Queen. It was announced, too, that Hobo Day would occur, which didn ' t arouse objection from the student body. On Wednesday morning the Hobos gathered in the Auditorium where with shouts of glee the tiger was slain and a crimson and blue goose declared mascot. The students then marched to Porter ' s Lake where the duck race was held. The bird representing the K. U. band was awarded first place when it was discovered that the members of one of the fraternities had pulled their duck across the lake by means of a rope. The morn- ing was climaxed by a dance in the Gymnasium at which time the best costumed Hobos were chosen. The students then retired to their respective houses to complete work on the floats for the Homecoming Parade as well as to finish work on their house decorations. So very confidently the carnivorous Jayhawker awaits the coming of the Tiger, and Pinkerton detectives clean their guns preparatory to saving the honor (and money) of the athletic department. v- ?F i r y m )J ., ' tr.

Just to start things off we ' re going to consider the case of the Kansan snooper. It seems that Jug Woods took offence at a very obvious little play on words in the last issue and accused the writer of having a moronic mind. He also said that the magazine was alright as far as it went but it went too far, which should make it very good. Mr. Woods doesn ' t have much room to talk about moronic states of mind, however, when one notices he has to use the material of other publica- tions to reimburse his own excellent (?) column. Take heed of this remark Sour Owl and do what you will. Since we seem to be dealing with the other two would-be humorists on the Hill we might as well mention Messrs. Joe Pryor and Russell Chezem, editor and art editor of the publica- tion. One of the items in the second Sour Owl mentioned the fact that Poole and Creager of Belt and Theta respectively would give the Thetas five pounds. They finally came through and dished out as the dramatic gangster would say it. The ques- tion is, however, can the girls afford five pounds more? So much for dealing with other people. Now for the social events. On October 9 we had the first of one of the Hill ' s prize bugaboos, the record midweeks. Were they a success, hardly. You couldn ' t hear the music for the noise it made. The groans issuing from disappointed goers made the ballroom sound like the emergency ward of a hospital. To top it all off Gunnar Mykland announced the ' numbers assisted very ably by Lloyd Metzler, a would-be accounting instructor. Lyman Field was all that was needed in the light room to make the party complete. This all arose out of a fight between Bill Cochrane and the local musicians ' Union. It seems that the boys thought they weren ' t getting enough money so they went on a strike and refused to play for less than $39.00. Cochrane refused to pay more than $30.00 so there you have it. The whole situation smells from the Union Building clear to Marvin Hall. If noth- ing can be done in the way of settlement we suggest that the midweeks be knocked off the social register. We believe stu- dents would not miss them at all. Then on October 11 the Gamma Phis and the Chi Omegas came through with their open houses. These two are very nice about this and seem to hold their respective social gather- ings nearly always on the same night. One might suspect an attempt to draw the Hill stag list. As a matter of fact the stags wear a beaten path from one house to another during the course of the evening. One thing we noticed besides the prominence of gowned femininity was the Gamma Phi ' s green Plymouth from 54 county. After seeing Jaconette Lawrences ' blue Ford whipping around the Hill last year we wonder about the youth- ful minds at work down there to put out such fancy sport jobs. On Saturday, October 12, the Kappas and Sigma Kappas opened their doors to the madding crowd, better known around here as the herd. In connection with the Kappa open house we received a prize bit. Barney Pipes and Eddie Arnsberger, mem- bers of the Delt and Sig Alph cellar gangs, wanted dates and yet wanted to attend the party. Barney therefore called Mary Kretsinger of Pi Beta Phi and asked for a date but also included the fact that he would like to quite playing about 10:00 or 10:30 and go to the open house. Mary thought around for awhile and finally agreed, believe it or not. Miraculously enough she secured a date for Arnsberger with Betty Buchanan, transfer from Boulder, under the same principles. Well it just goes to show that anything can happen. In connection with the party itself Eleanor Fowler, a Manhattan transfer and a ver y infrequent frequenter of the lodge got a swell rush. Better watch yourselves girls. We just couldn ' t leave out the fact that Charrie Hay was seen cavorting over the various Gower ter- races with five members of the opposite sex. October 18 brought around with it a real (?) party. On this night the Betas, Phi Delts, and Sigma Chis got together and formed what is known as the Miami Triad party. You know, one of those kind where everyone puts on old clothes and says, Oh look, I ' m a corny farmer. Well maybe we can leave the farmer out of it. He seems to be pretty much discussed without this item. We weren ' t able to attend but of course we heard all about it even down to somebody ' s inebriated feline. The only way we can present this great social event is as follows: There THE HALLOWE ' EN VARSITY DECEMBER, 1935 n THE mi BHAWL ANYTHING GOES was an Alpha Chi who went barefooted. ... Of course Clyde Nichols was there leading and cheering which was just another way of making himself out a burro (call it what you will) .... Jim Donahue brought a duck by the name of Mary Frances. . . . Passout checks were torn from a Monkey Ward catalogue. . . . The Phi Phis have been griping about the fact that they haven ' t won very much lately. Perhaps they ' ve forgotten that Mary Ruth Pyle won the hog alling contest. . . . Franklin Murphy won the longest beard contest. Well the Betas would win that. ... To end it all Ross Robertson lost control of his conveyance on the way home and lost his passengers as a result. October 19 the Hill received the Anything Goes varsity with open arms, well anyway some of them were bare. The invitation was to wear anything, do anything, say anything. It ' s all good dean fun. In all our experience we have never seen anything like it. Every once in awhile Louie Kuhn would stop playing and some novelty act would spring up in an out-of-the-way corner. Concerning the costumes one young fellow we didn ' t know went sporting about wearing nothing more or less than a sweater and a pair of garters. Oh daring soul that he is! We spent the whole evening looking for a man wearing a tuxedo with checked pants. You can take this literally and still get two meanings. Wayne Wright came through with one of the prizes of the evening. He wore a freshman cap with extra long ribbons, a top coat, trousers made of pennants, and the cutest towel panties. Just charge it up to being an orchestra leader. It seems that the Phi Gams also had a party that night and about 11:30 invaded the dance en masse. The noisiest comers , THE ENGINEERS PRESENT THEIR QUEEN included Guernsey and Fritz, Gleissner and Grant, and Harry Valentine. Kansan mentor of a bygone day. Harry was wearing a suit of longies with a pillow stuffed in front making him look more like a hanging indention than anything else. An item worthy of a separate paragraph deals with the fact that we saw Chapman Tracy, B. R. Smith ' s last year ' s nemesis, with his hair combed. Anything goes ! October 25 brought about a lot of confusion by presenting us with the Phi Psi, Sigma Chi, and Delta Tau parties. This had all the earmarks of good old cutthroat competition but we guess it worked out alright. The Delts, fearing the onslaught of Aggie rooters and Baker partygoers took to the Union building to save house and home. They also came out a little different, and in this case a little more original, by hold- ing a formal part}-. We were unable to attend the others but we understand that the Sigma Chi part)- lost some of its bloom by the absence of Martha Nuzman. She and Bill McElfresh decided, it would be better if we just didn ' t go together anymore. This might rile Schiffmacher, erstwhile Delta Tau prodigy, but here goes. Chippy was thwarted by the Sigma Chis, caus- ing for a while his lack of a date to his own party. The would- be date was our P. A. L. Peggy Ann Landon. In order to satisfy himself he invited Jaconette Lawrence, ex-Pi Phi and grand- mother of all Boy Scouts. Oh boy, what a time ! Gene Lloyd pulled an advertising stunt for October 26 by declaring and proclaiming the Swing It varsity. The band was Harlan Leonard and his Harlemites. This dance was also in order for a celebration of the Kansas victory over the Aggies. The tears of the losers literally made the floor slick and the air fairly smelt of injured but glorified football players on both sides. All in all, however, the part} ' was all right. We have one of Wood ' s unreliable stories concerning Dorothy Fritz that happened on the same night but discretion here seems to be the better part of valor. On the night of November 1 the Sig Alphs, Triangles, and Teachers all went social on us. The only one of these three we made was the ground floor of the teachers ' varsity where a queer sight met our eyes. It seems that the Lawrence police didn ' t trust the morals of Kansas teachers and so stationed a young squadron all around the place. Maybe we ' re wrong but the Eldridge or Sig Alph house would seem to be the proper place for the protectors of law and order. November 2 was another of those confused nights. The Sigma Nus held a party, the Delts, a scavenger hunt, and Pan- Hellenic came through with another tacky party. 100 THE JAYHAWKER TO some it may seem queer to observe an account of a motor show in a col- lege year book but any consideration of life at the U is no longer complete without a description of the southwest ' s great annual spectacle the motor parade. The thirtieth annual motor show in Kansas City is of two-fold interest this year since it marks the christening of the new six and one-half million dollar municipal auditorium. This great assemblage of the thorough- breds of the highway resembles in many respects the old time county fairs and horse shows where the folks gathered from miles about and chatted quite as much about the new minister, the state of affairs of the guv ' ment, and Cy Gaines hog, as they concerned themselves with the actual object of the trip. So it is at the motor show where you meet acquaintances from near and far and renew old friendships between longing glances at the glamorous new models which seem to beckon so strongly to one by VERNON VOORHEES who has the love of motor flash in his blood. As you enter the great arena, contain- ing the beautiful, sleek representatives of America ' s most progressive industry, you are awed into silence and admiration, for the sudden view of this great colorful assemblage has an emotional effect not short of poetic. You feel that you must see every model and inspect it carefully with especial attention to your favorite make. There is also a great opportunity to show your friends the relative merits of the pride and joy of your heart for here the very innermost and complex parts of the car are plainly exposed and carefully explained. The new models represent a very dis- tinct compromise between the radical streamlined type and the more conven- tional style for the trend is in the direc- tion of sleek graceful lines and sweeping rear assemblages. The horse power-wheel base factor has been minimized since the competitive THE LOW PRICE FIELD models seem to have reached the happy medium and the cars of each price class resemble one another very closely in this respect. The industry having been asked not how fast will she go, but how many , THE KANSAS CITY MOTOR SHOW DECEMBER, 1935 miles will she get on the gallon, has answered in characteristic fashion with great increases in gas and oil mileage through various engineering advances ranging from improved carburation to new types of pistons and improved cool- ing of motors. Hydraulic brakes are decidedly in the predominance in the 36 cars. General Motors having seen the light after many years of hesitation and queer murmur- ings about safety. The demand for speed, power and quick acceleration having made a light, durable piston necessary, alloy pistons of light weight have been almost completely accepted as preferable. All steel construction has reached new heights with steel above, steel below, steel all around, and it looks like a great break for our forest reserves. The all steel monopiece bodies coupled with the bridge-truss frames make the new cars veritable fortresses of safety. The show this year, I think, gives an impression of three great predominant factors beauty, economy, and safety. Two new faces appear at the show this year: one is the new Lincoln Zephyr; the other, the new Auburn built Cord both of radically different design and construction. The Ford built Lincoln Zephyr of 110 H. P. represents a new mode in streamline design and incorpor- ates a new principal of body construction which makes the body and chassis one integral unit. It is powered by a V-type twelve cylinder motor closely resembling the Ford V-type motor which has proven so successful. The Cord is of an entirely new design and is the center of much attention at the show. It is powered by a 125 H. P. Lycombing Motor and features the front drive principle of power transmission. Supercharges are in evidence this year on two standard stock cars the Graham and the Auburn Eight. The supercharger is used to force the mixture to the cylinders, giving a greater power impulse, and its backers claim great power, speed, and economy. One of the most popular develop- ments in the upper price range is the automatic over-drive which was featured by Chrysler on the Airflow last year and which has been adopted with variations by several of the manufacturers this year. The over- drive comes into action at a speed of from 35 to 40 miles per hour and reduces the engine revolutions by one-third at the same time maintaining the car speed. Great economy in oil, gas, and reduced wear of moving parts is claimed for this feature.

With the sober realization of responsibility which doubtless is inherent in fledglings, the freshmen instantly perceived the needs and the evils PHIL BUSICK facing the class and immediately began to take sides upon the weighty issues con- fronting them. Leaders miraculously appeared and magnanimously offered to lead their respective flocks in a fight to determine the future of the class of ' 39. In strict conformance with the principles of democratic government and the Men ' s Student Council ' s constitution, the differ- ing factions nominated candidates and put their issues to the acid test of the ballot. In the ensuing campaign, to the existence of which the upperclassmen were utterly unaware and indifferent, the men once more made Hallie Harris ' life well-nigh unbearable by littering up the campus with handbills (entirely the brain children of the freshmen, so we are told) while the women abstentiously never mentioned the horrible word politics. When the smoke cleared away from the Council room and the women ' s tea-cups were all nicely washed and polished, the anxiously-awaiting student body heard that once again the voice of the fresh- men had spoken and that Phil Busick was to lead the class as president, with Dorothy Willcuts as vice-president, Mar- garet Alberty as secretary, Dick Newlin the treasurer, and Proctor Ritchie and Walter Hildebrand the dance managers. This much we glean from Kansan news items and from party handbills. For that rather large proportion of stu- dents who fail to read both the Kansan and the handbills, a few explanatory remarks concerning the election are pos- sibly in order. P. S. G. L. opened the campaign with the none-too-startling announcement that due to the high ideals of the organization, it could not stoop to sully its hands with such a trivial matter as a freshman election. Pachacamac, actuated largely by the fact that it had DICK NEWLIN PROCTOR RITCHIE WALTER HILDEBRAND DOROTHY JANE WILCUTTS PEGGY ALBERTY been organizing its fraternity and non- fraternity freshmen for a week, defiantly came back with a stirring defense of the freshmen. After this preliminary barrage both parties virtuously announced that their members had withdrawn from the field and that the freshmen would hence- forth conduct their own election. Of course a few loyal P. S. G. L. workers generously brought forth a non-frater- nity group with the next few days and filled their ears with nasty things about the machine, and certain Pachacamacs felt honor bound to remain with their group to see that the lads of the rising sun heard about the evolution of the opposite party and to teach them to shout Beta, Beta at the slightest provocation, but such minor upperclassmen excursions can well be overlooked, for hadn ' t both parties pledged that the freshmen were conducting their own election? Thus begun, the campaign droned wearily onward as such campaigns have droned since someone first decided that the classes need officers, and for a period of two weeks no denizen of Tennessee street could safely turn on a light in his room for fear of attracting the embryonic ward- heelers of the conflicting parties. The Pachacamacs, following a time-honored precedent, nominated a Lawrence non- fraternity man for president, feeling that he was a fine fellow and that the Law- rence votes added to the guaranteed fra- ternity votes (pledge list minus Betas, etc.) would just about carry the election. Then in the same spirit they gave the next best nomination to a fraternity man and split the last two offices between fraternity and non-fraternity men a pro- cedure which not only is democratic but which also has been known to gather in votes. The Independents nominated a (Continued on page 157) . . DECEMBER, 1935 103 Beauty judge and mouse maker Walt Disney, creator of Mickey Mouse chooses the freshman beauties by JAMES PORTER fTlO Walter Disney goes our highest A admiration and respect. He is a brave man. Perhaps when this is published, we should say, - he was a brave man. Man may fight on the grim battlefields of war ; man may battle valiantly on the field of honor; man may defy death in the clouds all are brave. But the bravest is one that, heedless of consequences, risks neck and limb in the dangerous pursuit of judging beauties. Thus, did Mr. Disney for the nonce, emerge from his halcyon business in Hollywood to judge from fifteen photo- graphs sent him by Editor John Chandler, the queen of them all and the four next loveliest. Thus, in the patois, has Mr. Disney stuck his neck out. We humbly submit his verdict on the four following pages. From a careful perusal of these studies in beauty, the reader must agree that his task was most hard. In Mr. Disney ' s own words the most difficult task I have ever undertaken. The Man Walt Disney was born on a farm in Missouri in 1902 of poor parents. He didn ' t think much of farming, but he did like to associate with the pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, horses, rabbits, skunks, bugs, mice and men that were on the farm. At the age of ten, Walt went to Kansas City to earn his living, and started in true Algeresque fashion by selling newspapers. COME ON WHICH ONE? Later on, Mr. Disney got on the staff of the Kansas City Journal Post. And just a little later he got off. As the story goes, Mr. Disney ' s city editor had a queer notion that as long as people were receiv- ing salaries from him, they should work for them. One day, the city editor saw the young reporter sketching a rabbit when he should be working. Mr. Disney claimed his drawing, art, and should be encouraged. The city editor did not know about the art angle but thought the encouraging idea wonderful, so fired him from the paper so he could get all the encouragement he needed and not be hampered by a job. Then it was that Mr. Disney started playing with his animated cartoon idea for a Kansas City theater, but without success. Finally in 1923, he went to Hollywood and started a studio and a cartoon series called Alice in Cartoon- land. Alice flickered on theater screens for four years before it finally dis- appeared and the Kansas City Journal Post rabbit once again appeared, this time called Oswald. Universal studios man- aged Disney and Disney managed Oswald for a year. Then came a split-up and Mr. Disney left Universal and Oswald, who is still bouncing on and off the screen under the direction of Walter Lantz. The Mouse Shortly after the split. Mickey Mouse was conceived in the fecund mind of Mr. Disney. At first he was dubbed Morti- mer, but as this name only appealed to the top hatters, he was soon called Mickey to appeal to the six-day sock wearers as well. Under this plebeian name. Mr. Disney made three Mickey Mouses but couldn ' t sell them. Then came the talkies, so Mickey learned to talk. Mr. Disney has spoken for Mickey since Mickey first began to speak. Audi- ences grow used to the intonations of even a mouse ' s voice so now Mr. Disney does not dare let anyone else speak for Mickey. Steamboat Willie, the first of the Mickey Mouses was an instantaneous hit. Columbia studios offered Mr. Disney a contract, got it, and for three years under the supervision of Columbia, Mickey Mouse grew in popularity. Then Mr. Disney built his own studios and (Continued on page 107 j MARY ALICE WOODS HOTO BY HIXON MARGARET A L L O W A Y VMMU 8V HIXON BETTY BARNES DOROTHY FRITZ DOROTHY KENNEDY DECEMBER, 1935 107 BEAUTY JUDGE AND MOUSE MAKER (Continued from page 104) made arrangement with United Artists to distribute his films, which they still do. Now Mickey Mouse is an international figure better known than Roosevelt, Hitler and Mussolini together. This captivating mouse capers about in eighty-eight countries and is somewhat of a polyglot speaking French and German as well as English. In France, Mickey is called Michel Souris ; in Ger- many, Michael Maus ; and in Spain, Miguel Ratonocito. United Artists is attempting to make Mickey Mouse his uni- versal name, however. Lately, Mickey has discarded his old black and white clothes, and is now sartorially superb in brilli- antly colored raiment with the aid of Technicolor. The Not Too Silly, Silly Symphonies Walt Disney has a large family. As well as Mickey Mouse, he has Minnie, Clarabelle, Horace, Donald and the others in the Mickey series. He also has a coterie of insects, rodents and fowl that are always at his beck and call in another series. From this group the Silly Symphonies have developed to often rival the fame of Mickey and once to even outdo him in popularity. The Silly Symphony is to the movie what the fairy tale is to the novel. The first Silly Symphony, The Skeleton Dance, was so popular that it is still running in smaller theaters. Technicolor is, however, the prime factor in the success of the Silly Sym- phonies. At first, Mr. Disney was inclined to use classical music in them, which made them dull and lifeless to the aver- age movie goer. Then Walter Disney had a pregnant idea. He had always liked the story of the three little pigs Why not, he thought, get his studio composer to write a song that would match the mood and whimsey of this delightful story No reason why not, so his composer dittied out Who ' s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? the first hit song to come from an animated cartoon. The merit of The Three Little Pigs needs no restating it speaks for itself. Facts. Figures, and Fancy Mr. Disney employs two hundred men in his mouse factor}-. For each one-reel cartoon, ten thousand drawings are made. His artists earn an average of $150 a week, and he has continually twenty apprentices who earn $18 a week. These incipient artists are started out by drawing nude models. If, at the end of three years, the artist has successfully displayed his ability he will no longer have to draw nude models but Mickey Mouse himself. Only an average of two or three attain this coveted position, however. Now, Mr. Disney has a fancy that the public might appreci- ate a full length cartoon and is already busily engaged to this end. He will name his first feature production Little Snow White. It will require 100,000 separate drawings and cost around $250,000. The release date will be in 1936.

This early society had all the characteristics of present day fraternities and sororities ; the charm and mystery of secrecy, a ritual, oaths of fidelity, a badge for external display, a strong tie of friendship and comradeship and a background of high ideals. True, there had been other types of organized societies, but most of them were of a literary character and bore such classical names as Ciceronean or Philoletheam. Some were secret and some were not. Part of them had Greek mottoes. From such beginnings have grown our present day system of sororities. Undoubtedly this system of organized houses developed out of a desire for closer friendship, common interests, and the need of protection. Women, a great deal more than men, tend to form class groups whenever possible. After all, it is only human, when finding enjoyable or stimulating personalities, to make every possible effort to gain their companion- ship. It is quite possible to accomplish this without organized groups, but the self-imposed bonds of a sorority insure success to a greater degree. Since 1900 the development of sorori- ties has been so rapid that the twentieth century organizations out-number all those established in the previous years. Today, however, the further establishment of such organizations is on the decline, and many colleges are establishing methods to abolish them. There is a great deal of criticism about sororities some justified and some merely prejudiced opinions. There have been a great many controversies concern- ing the respective advantages of a sor- ority girl or a non-sorority girl. To be fair, you will find there is a distinct advantage on either side. True, chapter houses have a definite influence on character. It fosters pride of organiza- tion, social discipline, and brings the indi- vidual student under observant eyes. An organized house, with its degree of pres- tige, gives a sense of social security that is hard to find elsewhere. And then there is a certain fascination, dear to the heart of every woman, in the rituals of a sup- posedly secret organization. A daily con- tact and close friendship with the mem- bers of an organization leaves you with a closer tie with your school and friends after graduation. To most girls, college means primarily their sorority. The respective merits of each one are discussed at length, and each girl firmly believes that a mistake made during rush week would endanger her entire college career. While this may be true, a girl who is just entering col- lege should also be aware of the dis- advantages of so rority life. Organized houses may engender and foster a social exclusivement. It makes some students narrow and conceited, because they assume for themselves, often unjustifiably, the reputation which the chapter may have established by the worthy performance of its members. The original purpose of sorority life was noble and fine, but to some girls of today the whole idea of a sorority means noth- ing more than a place to sleep and eat while they are in school. It is also prob- able that their sorority is the greatest only distinction they have gained while in school. Surely a sense of social security could not be based on this, but it often is, and there is the tragedy of sorority life. The accusation made by non-sorority girls that sorority women assume a false superiority is unfortunately true. Most of the advantages offered by a sorority are to be found elsewhere for a non-sorority girl if she has the courage to seek and accept them. It requires a girl strong in character and courage to go ahead and find her place and work in college life. Many girls feel campus activities are limited for them because there is no definite group sponsoring their work or because they possibly feel there is a stigma attached to the fact that they are barbarians in the land of the Greeks. However, this idea is definitely erroneous. If there is any comparison. the advantage lies with the non-sorority girl. If she is broad enough to escape an (Continued on pige 1)9 ALPHA DELTA PL WINKERS OF THE mTEB-SOBOHTTY SUCG ALPHA CHI OMEGA BACK Row: Bennett, English, Lockard, Hughes, Jordan, Kiehl, Horn.

It was founded at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Illinois, April 28, 1869, by Libbie Brooks, Clara Brownlee, Ada Bruen, Nancy Black, Jennie Nichol, and Fannie Thompson. There are at present 78 active Pi Phi chapters. The local chapter, Kansas Alpha, was established here in 1873 and is now located at 1246 Mississippi Street. Frances Bruce, of Kansas City, is the president of the Kansas Alpha chapter. SIGMA KAPPA Sigma Kappa was founded in 1874 at Colby College, Waterville, Maine, by Mary C. Low, Louise H. Colbum, Elizabeth G. Hoag, Frances E. Mann, and Ida M. Fuller. There are 45 active chapters. The Xi chapter was founded at the University of Kansas in 1913, and the chapter house is situated at 1625 Edgehill Road. Mary Alice Graham is the present presi- dent of Sigma Kappa. 1625 EDGEHILL ROAD Pledges Helen Barnes, Lawrence; Helen Robinson, Newton; Mildred Steph- enson, Lawrence. Actives Bonnie Jean Daniels.

The council has as its purpose the execu- tion of affairs concerning all the houses as a body, and the promotion of all the interests for the organized clubs for women. Officers are elected annually and meetings are held the first Thursday of each month. As a result of the movement of the National Intersorority Conference organ- ized in New York in 1905, the Kansas University chapter of Women ' s National Pan-Hellenic Association came into exist- ence in 1906. The local chapter ' s original membership consisted of Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Chi Omega, from which it has grown until at present it includes representatives from eleven sororities. National Pan-Hellenic Association grew out of a realization that all organ- ized groups are fundamentally related by their common problems. That these com- mon problems should be dealt with through joint consideration and action, seemed only fair and logical, and National Pan-Hellenic was organized with the purpose of meeting these prob- lems and regulating the relations between the various groups in such a manner as to best benefit the groups as individuals, and the campus on which they were located. Back of the acceptance of this GERTRUDE FIELD fact of common problems, however, was a much more significant thing the reali- zation that women ' s fraternities are founded upon similar ideals and for similar purposes and that, because of this, a Pan-Hellenic association, whose high standards are to be maintained and whose regulations are to be enforced as a matter of ethical agreement, was possible. Pan-Hellenic ' s membership at K. U. is consistent with the spirit in which it was founded, for it is composed entirely of students, who legislate by themselves, for (Continued on page 154) Back row: EARHART, FREVERT, BORDNKR, KIZLER, HURD, SHARP.

FOR the past several seasons, audiences at the University have been clamor- ing for a different sort of dramatic pro- duction. In attempting to please the theatre-goers, the Kansas Players have presented during the years every type of play from low comedy to tragedy. Real- izing that the entire audience could not be pleased with any one play, the players last year presented as many types of drama as possible during the season. They met with unusual success, impress- ing each patron with at least one play. The average Jayhawk is looking only for entertainment and is unmoved by the actor ' s and director ' s work. Judging from the response with which Eugene Brieux ' s play, False Gods, was received on the night of November 4 in Fraser Theatre, the audience was largely Jayhawk. To only a few was the difficulty of the pro- duction understood and appreciated. Brieux ' s play presents a modern religi- ous problem in the mysterious and alarming se tting of ancient Egypt. It is based on the story of Amenotop II who, history tells us, attempted to release his people from a stupid belief in image gods by which the grafting priests held them in terror and oppression. Called Satni in the play, he returns from study in the north filled with the purpose of teaching his people to accept the idea of brotherly love by which they will be freed from the shackles of fear, misery and poverty. However, the ignorance of the people is so great and so steeped in time and tradition that it is impossible for a single man, and a few years to change them. Mob-like, they follow him for a time ; and mob-like, they as quickly turn from him. The whole situation is clearly demonstrated by Satni ' s love affair with Yaouma, the young mystic, who cannot throw off her religion, because there is nothing offered her in its place but mortal love. Had Satni substituted a definite benevolent god, he might have succeeded in saving, if not the people, at least himself and Yaouma ; but having no god himself, he had no hope. Being of the thesis type, the play is somewhat undesirable for production. This is the second time it has been pro- duced in the United States ; the first time being at Smith College in 1921. The chief drawback to the play is that the long expository speeches lower the level of action to the extent that the audience loses interest. Perhaps on the professional stage with a hand-picked cast and an alert responsive audience, the play might become a tremendous success. Mainly responsible for the dramatic moments of the show were the mob- scenes. Unnoticed as individuals the members of the mob co-operated in such a professional manner that the audience reacted favorably to the tense situations that might easily have been interpreted as humorous. The temple scene is particu- larly exemplary of fine direction and action. Far superior to any other chara cteriza- tion in the show was that of the H ' gh Priest, done by Prof. Robert Calderwood. During the last few years Prof. Calder- wood has been more or less typed in interesting but unimpressive roles. Even then, he was outstanding in voice control and diction. However, he had in this difficult character a chance to exhibit his true dramatic talent. The part of Satni was taken by Prof. Allan Crafton. The interpretation was good, but not up to Crafton ' s level. It was evident that Prof. Crafton sacrificed his characterization for the direction of the play. Mrs. Crafton in the part of Mieris, the blind woman, made her usual fine con- tribution. The role demanded a careful study of emotion, voice, and body move- ment. Mrs. Crafton did not overlook working out any details of character. Rheou, the Egyptian nobleman was portrayed by Norbert Anschuetz. The part was a bit overdone but definitely understood. Mr. Anschuetz ' s diction is excellent. A humorous vein running all through the play was injected by the two ignorant slaves, Sakiti and Nurm, played by Charles Pipkin and Don Dixon. These two actors gave excellent interpretations of their characters and were immensely popular with the audience. Special men- tion should be made of the scene in which Satni attempted to point out to them wherein they had erred in stealing certain articles of jewelry while looting the estate of a wealthy noble. These two boys will be watched for by Kansas playgoers in their next performance.

DECEMBER, 1935 125 The season ' s record A fighting Jayhawk eleven places third in the conference by JAMES COLEMAN ANOTHER football season has come and gone, and the reverberations of those great gridiron battles against Kansas State, Nebraska, and Missouri are still ringing in the ears of the loyal rooters, and the corps of second guessers are still gathering around the stove in the general store-post office to rehash the season ' s play and decide what play would have been better to use here or there. Perhaps the game freshest in the minds of Kansas Univer- sity students and alumni alike, is the traditional Turkey Day tilt with Missouri. Having gone scoreless for the past five years, the Tiger rose out of his lair with a wild look in his eye to attempt an upset and score his first Big Six, not to mention his first victory over Kansas in many years. The Jayhawkers were battered and bruised from hard games on three successive weeks, and lacked reserve strength, as they did all season, but entered the game favorites. With one of the most inspiring student rallies of the year to give them a boost to the top of the victory ladder, the Kansas warriors out- played the Tigers in every department of the game, but lacked their usual scoring punch when within shouting distance of the goal, and the battle ended in a scoreless tie. Anyway, the Mis- sourians still haven ' t scored, and the count is run to six. The mighty Notre Dame eleven, one of the outstanding contestants for nomination as the eastern representative in the Rose Bowl classic game on New Year ' s Day, defeated the Jay- haw kers by a 28 to 7 count in the season ' s opener to start their bid for collegiate championship honors. Kansas returned to home soil for the second game of the season to smother St. Benedicts College under an avalanche of touchdowns to win 42 to 0, and to demonstrate a long- sought offensive punch. Bill Decker, senior quarterback, started his last year in a Kansas uniform with a sensational exhibition of passing and ball-lugging to win top honors for the day. Decker scored once on a 44-yard return of a punt and passed to Peterson and Moreland for two more counters. The St. Benedicts game brought forth some of the roughest play ever seen by a majority of the spectators, one man on each team receiving a brain concussion, while Hayes, Vogel, and Hapgood suffered broken noses, while Wienecke emerged minus two front teeth. Mano Stukey, brilliant halfback, played his last game of college football, and was carried from the field in the first quarter with a serious concussion that elimi- nated him from further competition. The following week the Jayhawkers played another 42 to game; however, this time they were on the wrong end of the count, losing to the strong Michigan State team by the same score with which they had defeated St. Benedicts. As was the case in the Notre Dame contest, lack of reserve strength, one of the most serious of Kansas ' problems throughout the season, was in a large way responsible for the loss. At half time Michigan State led 7 to 0. At the end of the third quarter they were in front by a 13 to count, but the final period saw Michigan State launch one touchdown drive after another, scoring four times in the space of 15 minutes against a very weary group of Jayhawkers. GIAKNENGEJ.O LUTTON DOUGLASS BARCUS BHUENING KRUSE DECKER MORELAND HARRIS SKLAR Michigan State unleashed an attack consisting of end runs, line smashes, forward passes, quick kicks, and almost every other kind of offensive play known to civilized football to completely outclass the Kansans, but the loss did not come as a complete surprise, as only the week before the Spartans had trampled Michigan, bell-cow of the Big Ten for years, to the tune of 25 to 6 and seemed well on their way toward their best season in years. Again it was Decker who starred in the role of passes to produce the only noticeable Kansas gains, while Fred Harris repeatedly set the Michigan Staters back on their heels with long distance kicking and reeled off a 21 -yard gain that helped a great deal in piling up the 95 yards-from- scrimmage that Kansas gained. Following a week of rest that featured a 31 to win over the freshmen, the doughty Jayhawkers played host to Kansas State in one of the most important games of the 1935 schedule. The previous Saturday had produced one of the major Big Six upsets when the Wildcats had outplayed Nebraska in every department of the game to earn with ease a scoreless tie, and seemed on their way to a second consecutive conference grid- iron title. But the Jayhawkers had decided that they had a bit to say about the final placing of the title crown. They had no inten- tions of letting Kansas State gallop off with the championship when there was the slightest chance of its reposing on Mount Oread for a year. (Individually and collectively they would rather see it in Manhattan than in Lincoln, however.) But they took matters into their own hands and walloped the Wildcats decisively, piling up nine points for themselves and donating a safety to give the Aggies a score of some kind, to go into the lead for Big Six title honors, a position they retained until the memorable struggle with Nebraska two weeks later. Spectators observed that it was the roughest contest that Kansas State had participated in during the season. Perhaps the Jayhawkers learned a few tricks from St. Benedicts, or else the Raven game had brought hitherto unneeded methods of keeping the oppo- nent on his own side of the line. At any rate, a story from the 128 THE JAYHAWKER STUKEY SIEGLE WIENECKE WARD Wildcat camp the following Monday produced a few tears and more laughs with its tale of woe: Eleven Kansas State players are confined to the university hospital with injuries received in the Kansas University game. The Jayhawkers evidently were well trained in the manly art of self defense, for with the exception of the usual number of skinned knees and sore muscles, they emerged unscathed. Again it was Bill Decker who passed for the winning tally, the final touchdown coming in the last few minutes of play with Kansas leading 3 to 2. (Sounds like the score in a World Series baseball game.) Decker heaved one to Wienecke to run the count to 9. Tommy Siege Gun McCall booted a field goal from the Aggie 17-yard line in the first half to keep his kicking record an unmarred exception and to put Kansas in the lead. Peterson also was outstanding in the backfield, Harris ' punts were little short of sensational, and the play of the entire Kansas line was dynamic. Little George Hapgood and Rutherford B. Daddy Hayes, stellar end, snatched victory out of the air to defeat the Okla- homa Sooners the following Saturday to enable Kansas to retain its grasp on first place in the conference, as they paired together on a passing combination in the last minute of play to down Oklahoma 7 to 0. The game was a see-saw affair and both elevens were stopped a few yards short of a touchdown several times before Hapgood ' s winning toss. McCall attempted a field goal early in the contest but the kick was blocked and Phelps broke through the line to spoil a similar attempt by the Sooners. Kansas found ample grounds for protesting any action by the football rules committee to award games to the team piling up the greatest number of first downs and yards from scrimmage, as they were outgained in that respect, but managed to come through with a touchdown, which is quite sufficient to win any game under the present code. Again a great deal of rough. play was observed, although the Jayhawkers got perhaps the worst of the bargain when Fred Harris, recognized as the best kicker in the loop, received shoulder injury that kept him out of the all-important Nebraska tilt the following week. The fighting Jayhawker lived up to his name in every department of the game in the Kansas-Nebraska game on November 9 at Lincoln as the Lindseymen got the jump of the Cornhuskers with a tally in the first few seconds of play, scored again shortly after the opening of the second half to erase a 12-7 lead and battled until the last gun against superior reserve strength that netted for Nebraska another conference title. Douglass ' opening kickoff rolled into the end zone and the alert Hayes fell on the ball under the nose of Nebraska ' s star, Cardwell, for a touchdown and McCall booted the extra point to send Kansas into the lead. Cardwell outjumped Hapgood to snare a pass for the first Nebraska tally, and the first of the Cornhuskers ' winning breaks came shortly afterward. LaNoue caught a pass while lying flat on his back on the Kansas 18-yard stripe and Francis plunged over the goal line a few plays later. Kansas again went into the lead at the opening of the second half when an alert lineman recovered a Nebraska lateral in scoring distance and Hayes scored on an end around play. McCall missed his first try for point. Another impossible- appearing play netted the third Nebraska touchdown. Card- ( Continued on page 153) DECEMBER, 1935 129 The truth about K. U. men A representative of the fairer sex puts the masculine element in its place by BETTY RUTH SMITH TT s time for us to A rally to our cause, for t ' Ed 01 has informed me, is our one big chance to reveal our innermost thoughts v on a very important question in other words, we at last have our opportunity to tell just what we think about the masculine element of our campus. If you have your claws sharpened we will begin. But let ' s be rather impersonal about the whole thing. Instead of taking a single personality, let ' s condense the problem into generalities. We should be able to speak quite prolincally for we certainly have discussed the subject enough in those intimate sessions that come only too often. There are so many ways we might begin that it is difficult to select the proper one. For instance we might say The men, God bless them and our happy home, or we might say Of all the contrary, foolish, obstinate and stub- born creatures, you men are the worse! However, it seems to be a good idea to strike a happy medium for, after all, this article was conceived after obtain- ing a general consensus of opinion and not my own or my roommate ' s personal thoughts on the subject. It would be a sad state of affairs if, the day after this article is published, my roommate would point to me in scorn and say She told all or my friends of the firmer sex would frown and state that I had started something I would be unable to finish. As a whole, the men of K. U. are a rather decent lot, not too far above or below the average. That makes it very hard to find a drastic criticism. However, I believe most young men we know would be rather surprised to find how critical girls can be. Even critical of such little things as bow-ties, the angle of a hat, or the way a boy might vary his greeting word to different types of people he sees each day on the campus. I fear this article may turn into a sup- plement to Emily Post or a personal handbook on What Every Young Man Should Know. At any rate here goes There is a seemingly innocent word in the English language and that word is attitude. Volumes could be and have been written on this subject. Although the term is rather general, it covers a multitude of sins. By attitude I mean more or less die general types. For example, there is the rah-rah Joe College type the kind that are so gloriously portrayed in movies through super-colossal productions and in the comic strip, Harold Teen. The passing of such a traditional personality would be an excellent thing, for he is the typical college youth whom the average man condemns. This breed is easily distinguished from the rest of the herd by their surface-deep nonchalance and careful imitation of a devil-may-care attitude. His conversation tends to the rough side and he butchers the English language, wrapping it up in all the latest slang. This erring young man either attempts to give the im- pression that he has been around a great deal and l M L that he has an irresistible appeal to the girls, or eke he is a professed woman- hater who shuns this par- ticular kind of pest as one would avoid rat poison. If he has a car, he drives it as recklessly and fast as possible, thus frightening its occupants into hysteric fits and breed- ing a deathly hate in every pedestrian. His outward appearance is casually dis- graceful, characterized by tousled hair, neglected fingernails, and above all, a leather jacket and a woolly sweater regard- less of the time or place. To him, educa- tion has been a mere excuse to come to college, and he has yet to learn the mean- ing of the word no. With such a sad beginning as this, one often wonders what hope there is for the future of this young man Then there is the exactly opposite type the man of super-sophistication and worldliness. His presence is also denoted by a pre-eminence of ennui and boredom. For him all activities at K. U., social or otherwise, are quite commonplace, for he has been accustomed to the same thing daily but of course on a decidedly larger scale. When his thoughts revert to women, as they usually do, we find him con- descending to think of them as nice little things, handy to have around but cer- tainly lacking any vestige of brains, com- mon sense or ambition. This attitude appears to be a sort of ingrown caveman complex. Though our sophisticate pro- fesses to be far too civilized to browbeat and club a young lady into admitting all of the superior qualities of the masculine sex, he fully expects every girl to be a clinging vine with himself in the role of the big, sturdy oak. His line is smooth but has been worked so often that he is fooling no one but himself. There are also other types who defi- nitely deserve recognition. For example, there is the big-shot politician whose main stock in trade is a hail-fellow-well- met smile, a manly handshake and a reputation. When you are with him, you never lose the feeling that he is mentally considering how you might be of a prac- tical use in his next campaign. The recluse and self-styled hermit is also one of the most prominent men- aces of our campus. This group, though fairly small, shuns all varsities and social gatherings, preferring a quiet evening before the radio with just a pipe and a book of philosophy. While a preference for this kind of entertainment is admir- able, too much of this easily limits friendship and this man probably misses a very fundamental part of college life. Most girls feel a large percentage of this group would prove to be very interesting if it were possible to overcome the barrier of icy reserve. One could go on indefinitely classify- ing in this manner for, after all, almost everyone, man or woman, reverts to type. Fortunately, there are some lucky indi- viduals who retain only the best charac- teristics. The one big trouble is that there (Continued on page 159) 130 THE JAYHAWKER Freshman medics A layman comments on the antics of the embryo doctors by J. HUBERT ANDERSON OVER there is where the medics work on cadavers. With this does almost every university student dismiss the Commons building when he is showing Pop and Mom the STAN McCOOL campus. Nobody asks much more about the little one-story frame building, which is overshadowed by the more pretentious library, unless, perhaps, he wants the definition of a cadaver. Windows that are frosted to opaque- ness defy the stares of the idle curious who may wonder exactly what goes on behind the four yellow walls of the medi- cal school. And the lay student seldom learns more about it than what he gets from the shop talk of his medic friends. In fact, he gets more than enough when- ever this talk, either purposely or uncon- sciously, is directed to a more detailed conversation about laboratory experiences. Admittance to the Commons is gained through an entrance at the rear of the building. Anyone and this includes both visitors and students enrolled in medicine may stay as long as he has business there. The former leave within a very few minutes, but with the latter it is a different story. Some have held on as long as one and two semesters before they have found it no longer necessary for them to stick around. If you think this comparison is neither humorous nor actual, you are right in part. That it is not jocosity is true. But as for its being apt, ask. if you will, any stu- dent, advanced or beginning, of medi- cine. Only eighty applications from several hundred that are received each year are passed upon favorably by the faculty. When the class is promoted to Rosedale in Kansas City for their fourth semester, no more than seventy of these may go. Then, at least, and usually more, will have been dropped from time to time in the selective process that is con- stantly testing and weeding, approving and discarding would-be doctors. It is no wonder, then, that the students may be said to have permission to be in school as long as they have business there. Obviously, however, although some of the flunks are indefensible from the standpoint of not having worked hard enough on their lessons, what about the man who has actually spent hours in an honest attempt to do his work, yet fails? His lot at having been rejected is no dis- grace; he was not fitted to be a doctor, and a rigid method of discovering this fact prevents him from being a disillu- sioned physician. One medic called the type the proverbial round peg in a DWIGHT SWAN square hole. To their own way of thinking, the medical students live in a new world, different from that which they knew as college students. When they look at you and me on the campus, they see us as we are put together, strange human machines propelling themselves in this direction and that. They are armed with cumber- some textbooks which are loaded with detailed facts about the body of man, even to his smallest part. In - fact, they may even be carrying some of these parts, usually old and yellowed bones. In one of their final examinations, they must be able to identify by touch alone many of the osseous structures. Perhaps and this is only an outsider ' s guess the work about which the medics do most of their shop talking is gross anatomy. The laboratory division of this subject is located in the Commons. In the lab room, there is a distinctive atmos- phere, the least part of which is olfac- tory (one can get used to the smell) . One hundred and twenty people are present. Eighty are white-gowned medics, work- ing and learning while they work. Forty are subjects, called cadavers. There is no just reason to pause here and dwell upon a morbid description of two score lifeless men, lying under the glare of low-hung ceiling lights while students are being schooled in the human anatomy. A great many of them, if not all, are doing more for society in death than they did when they were alive. An enlightened social order permits them to be used during the instruction of young men and women who are to become the world ' s doctors and surgeons. What of the student ' s attitude toward the cadavers ? He views them in much the same manner as does a high school boy contemplate an old Ford car, half dis- mantled and subject to many hours of tearing down and exploration by amateur mechanics. The cadaver is no more or less than a human machine, interesting to the medical student as a mechanism that once has run, but now lies available for his anatomical investigation. What has made it run? How is it put together? What are the parts? These are his ques- tions. He is impersonally associated with the subjects; their names, lives, and deaths have no importance to him. The beginning students in medicine must survive three semesters in Law- rence before their promotion to Rosedale. Their course in this year and a half includes anatomy, bacteriology, physi- ology, biochemistry and immunology. During the time in which they are passing through, this siege, they must work to beat the devil, as you will (Continued on page 161) DECEMBER, 1935 131 Raymond B.

She has been very busy of late making over her old platform to wear next spring. She plans to trim it with a couple of new planks and a sprig of wild promises. Mrs. Oread-Kay hawk May she rest in pieces. (We quote Mrs. Pachacamac ' s fervent sentiments) is dead. Rumor hath it that her robust young son, PSGL, was the cause of her lingering demise. PSGL Though we have heard much about this little fellow, this is the first time we have met him face to face. He is larger than we expected and growing rapidly. He is dressed in clothes which are recognizable as hand-me-downs from his poor departed mother, Mrs. Oread-Kayhawk. He wears a large flowing baby pink and baby blue tie which his nurse, Lyman, has carefully tied on him. He speaks halt- ingly as he is not used to talking much. His nurse usually does the talking for him. SETTING: The interior of PSGL ' s car. PSGL is driving Mrs. Pachaca- mac home from the Eldridge where they have been entertain- ing themselves playing with their puppets. These toys are very unusual. They walk, talk, and are almost human. They are even being exposed to a college education. Mrs. Pachacamac possesses one set and PSGL another. They spend much time pulling strings to operate these puppets. PSGL is at the wheel. He is going quite fast and steers rather eccentrically. Every now and then Mrs. Pachacamac grabs the wheel, trying to get control. Mrs. Pach It ' s so nice of you, darling, to drive me home. But are you really sure you ' re old enough to steer? PSGL (Peevishly) Of course, I am I always steer just the way Nurse Lyman tells me. Mrs. Pach (Soothingly) There, there. Of course you do. I ' ll give you a few little suggestions along the way, and we ' ll get there all right. PSGL (Ominously) You needn ' t worry about telling me what to do because I ' m boss now, see? You can walk home from here if you don ' t like it. ' Mrs. Pach (Placatingly) Oh, now PSGL, I didn ' t mean any- thing much. You just go ahead and drive your own way. (Shrugging shoulders) Goodness knows, I ' d rather be riding along with you and not making any suggestions than dropped right here. PSGL Isn ' t my little car cute? Mrs. Pach Yes, indeed. It ' s an Austin, isn ' t it? PSGL Uh-huh. Mrs. Pach I like this independent sentiment upholstering. PSGL (Braggingly) This car ' s awfully well-known. Why, its been written up lots in the newspaper. Mrs. Pach Yes, I remember reading about it. You ' re awfully fond of the Austin, aren ' t you? PSGL You bet I am. Once it really got me out of trouble. Mrs. Pach How ' s that? PSGL Of course, I really shouldn ' t tell this but I hid behind the Austin when I was in trouble. Mrs. Pach (Questioningly) I suppose a paddling? PSGL (Tightening the bow of his pink and blue tie) Don ' t like paddlings ! Mrs. Pach So this vehicle saved you! (Laughing archly) You clever little rascal! For of course an Austin couldn ' t be paddled ! PSGL (Remembering his manners) It was awfully nice of you, ma ' am, to bring your puppets over so we could play once with both our outfits together. Mrs. Pach Oh, I enjoyed it! I do so love to work the puppets. PSGL You ' re awfully good at it, too. Mrs. Pach (Smiling complacently) Yes. I ' ve had a lot of practice pulling strings. When you ' re as old as I am you ' ll be just as good at it as I am. PSGL (Doubtfully) I don ' t know. I don ' t get much of a chance to play with my puppets. Nurse Lyman works them all the time. Mrs. Pach So I ' ve noticed. He does a lot of things for you, doesn ' t he? PSGL He does do a lot for me but he hasn ' t given me what I really want yet. Mrs. Pach What ' s that? PSGL A nichol. Mrs. Pach That should be easy enough. PSGL But I want a certain nichol. Mrs. Pach What for? PSGL For my cabinet collection. Mrs. Pach (Bristling) I certainly don ' t think you should have it. PSGL Well, anyway Nurse Lyman wants me to have it, though it ' s expensive. It will cost two puppets. (Mean- ingly) But not two of mine. Mrs. Pach (Indignantly) I see it all now! It will cost two of mine! That ' s the reason he ' s been saying two of mine don ' t work right anymore. Well, I won ' t give them up! They ' re worth more than a nichol. PSGL But you can get some brand new puppets to replace them (Continued on page 165) THE PATH OF THE HETERODOXIES BY JAMES DONAHUE In an attempt to keep abreast with other current magazines of like construction we are forced to bring modern art to our readers. We have picked from the artist ' s portfolio for this issue a watercolor, The Path of the Heterodoxies by James Henry Donahue, social satirist, who is on the verge of becoming a marxist in spirit and a dadaist at heart. At no time, however, does he reduce the character of his draughtsmanship to a tedi- ous formula. Sometime the drawn line is savagely jagged, con- es J J OO ' sisting of short, trenchant strokes; at other times the line is swift and heavy, suggesting in one facile stroke the whole solid contour of the form; or the line may be naive and crude. He depicts here in his NEUE SACHLICHKEIT manner of drawing the unorthodox and social reformers treading on the never ending path, while the satisfied complacent type happily lounges in the snow holding the fruit that represents all that is satisfactory in life. Not far away the common herd mass together in an attempt to do away with anything. THE PATH OF THE J 1TT1II17T ' 111I The Sf e SacblHeit Artist D+iOi SKM! S tirt 134 THE JAYHAWKER Men ' s intramurals Touch football gives way to basketball as the fall season closes JUPITER PLUVIUS frowned on the men ' s intramurals this fall and suc- ceeded in washing out all hopes of a track meet, but well over a thousand amateur athletes got back at him with a spirited campaign of touch football, horseshoes, handball and tennis that denotes another successful year for the University ' s intramural program. Touch football, especially, hit a new high with 25 teams clashing in an even 100 games in an effort to nab the title held by Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The Violet gridsters, however, finally downed the Betas for the seventh straight victory and the right to defend their title against Phi Gamma Delta in the finals. Another group of champions, the Theta Tans, climbed to the top to dominate the horse- shoe team competition for another year and continue their wrangle with the Betas and the Triangle for supremacy in that field. Delta Tau Delta completed the quartet when the semi-finals were reached. Mr. Pluvius ' dreary weather drove the intramural tennis aspirants to cover so often during the fall that it seemed doubtful, shortly before Thanksgiving, that either the singles or team play could be completed. The Delts were con- fronted with a battle royal to keep a 2 -year net record unblemished. Edged out of the handball four-wall championship last year by the Kappa Sigs, the Rock Chalk walloped the Betas and Triangles in the handball play-off to land a berth in the finals against the Phi Delts or Sig Alphs, both semi-finalists. The four sports together touch football, horse- shoes, tennis and handball enticed nearly half of the regularly enrolled men students on the Hill to action, a conserva- tive estimate by Ed R. Elbel, manager of intramural athletics, indicates. For the thi rd time in as many years, the pyramid system of individual play as introduced by Mr. Elbel has brought a regularity of competition over a long period, a plan he hopes will foster a recreative attitude among the students. With the fall program waning, the new winter sports of basketball, the favorite of them all, volley ball, one-wall court handball, wrestling, swimming and water polo are on deck and furnished another highly attractive program for the winter months. From the opening kickoff, the touch football season was one of heated rivalry and thrilling plays. A modification of the passing rules brought complicated aerial attacks to the foreground. More enthusi- asm prevailed than ever before and the class of competition was noticeably higher. The Phi Gams swept through six straight victories with only a 6-6 tie with the Phi Psis to mar their record. The Betas fell to the Phi Psis and the Phi Gams but won a place in the play-off with five wins to their credit. The Sig Alphs and Delta Taus topped the second division and the Pioneers, the Boiler- makers and the Phi Chis ascended to the play-off from the third division. Two radically different clubs met in the finals. The Phi Gam outfit featured an aerial attack with Jim Kell passing and punting and Al Lemoine and Jim Bicket doing most of the receiving. The Sig Alphs used a running attack centered around Roy Holliday, the speedy spark- plug of the team, and Johnny Ewers, pass-snatcher. The nimble-footed Holli- day ' s touchdown run in a semi-final game through the entire Beta team on an off- tackle play near his own goal line was perhaps the stellar play of the season. Horseshoes, the popular rural past- time, was readily accepted with 14 five- man teams tossing their hats into the ring. Seventy-five solo pitchers entered pyramid play. Theta Tau marched through to six straight victories and the only clean by LESTER COOMBS slate. The Betas, Triangle and Delta Taus all captured five wins apiece and a loss to gain the team play-offs. Four of the Theta Tau team also landed play-off berths in the pyramid play. Betas held three and the Acacia, Triangle and Phi Delts claimed one apiece. A strong group of racket-wielders played fast tennis while the weather permitted, the Betas, Delta Taus, Sigma Nus and Rock Chalk all boasting unblemished records with ten team matches still unplayed in the original brackets. Others standing high in the three divisions were the Kappa Sigs with three wins and a loss and the Sig Alphs and Phi Psis who each split a win and a loss. Sixteen teams were divided into three divisions to play four matches apiece. Of the 100 netsters to take the courts alone in individual play, 16 reached the play-off. Three to emerge victorious in first round pairings were Howard Dunham, Pi K A; Bill Kiley, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Edward Mirante, Rock Chalk, who also subdued a field of four to win the open tennis meet. Kiley, a newcomer to the Hill this year, promises to go high on the courts, having recently been declared No. 1 man in the Missouri Valley conference. He captured the singles title of the six states and a share of the doubles crown in campaigns last summer. The Beta boys dominated the pyramid last year and claimed six of the 16 tennis finalists this year. At the top of the four pyramid divisions November 7 were George Murphy, Jack Nessly and Blaine Hibbard, all Betas, and Howard Dun- ham, Sig Alph. If it proves impossible to finish out the net program of the fall intramurals, the racket-wielders will get another crack at each other when the spring program rolls around with more tennis on the bill. Romping through all competition with four straight wins, the Phi Delts and Sig Alphs headed the first two divisions of the handball team warfare, followed by the Rock Chalks and the Kappa Sigs, defending champs, who bowed once before reaching the play-off. The Tri- angle and Betas with three wins and a loss apiece represented the third division (Continued on page 153) SIGMA CHI-BETA FOOTBALL GAME A HORSESHOE MATCH DECEMBER, 1935 135 CORBIN HALL Peggy Alberty, San Diego, Calif.

For exactly one-half century this school has been educating and training Kansas youths to become experienced pharmacists, and has been sending them into all the branches of their work from the large industrial laboratories to the familiar small-town drugstore. This school was originally a part of the chemistry department. In 1885 it was organized as a department and was located in the chemistry build- ing. Under the able guidance of Lucius E. Sayre, who was called from Philadelphia to head it, the department rapidly expanded and soon outgrew its quarters. In an attempt to furnish further space, the north and the east basements of the building were excavated and fitted out for the use of the department. In 1891, the department was made a school and Professor Sayre became its first dean. Himself a pharmacist of national reputa- tion, Dean Sayre advanced the standing of the K. U. school until it became one of the eighteen pharmacy schools in the United States with an A ranking. Dean Sayre remained with the school until his death in 1895. His contributions to the field of pharmaceutical science and the excellence of his teaching placed him high in the list of outstanding American pharmacists. At his death L. D. Haven- hill became dean of the school. No one was better suited than Dean Havenhill to carry on the work begun by Dean Sayre. Dean Havenhill is well known to Kansas pharmacists as their representative to the National Pharmaceutical Association and HUBERT COOKSEY TOM BROWN DEAN HAVENHILL as one of the authors of the National Pharmacopoeia. During the 36 years that he has been on the K. U. faculty, he has become outstanding for his contributions to the school. The path to a pharmacist ' s license is now much more rocky than formerly. Heretofore, a pharmacy student need not have any college experience. If he were energetic and reasonably intelli- gent, he could work for a period with a registered pharmacist, take a crammer at any one of the small schools main- tained for the purpose, and go before the state board with the assurance that if he did not fail in too many courses, he would receive full credit for those which he passed and would be able to take examinations upon the subjects failed within a short time. Even if he failed to obtain a practicing license, he could easily obtain an apprentice ' s license and thus be able to work under a Jicensed pharmacist. All of this is changed now. Apprentices ' licenses are abolished, and all who would gain a regular license must have four years of college work in an approved school. The immediate result of this rul- ing has been a rapid jump in the enroll- ment at most pharmacy schools. Enroll- ment at K. U. has been greatly affected by the ruling, and this year the school is handling a near-capacity load. Most of the students plan to follow one of three fields of work. Some choose specialized fields such as drug BOB BALDRIDGE analysis and biological chemistry. Others are using pharmacy as a stepping stone to medicine and are attending the school in order to complete pharmaceutical require- ments before entering medical school. The great majority, however, choose the commercial branch the branch which furnishes the men who give our modern drugstores the right to continue calling themselves drug stores. Students in the school undergo a most thorough training. The first two years are largely occupied in gaining a compre- hensive knowledge of mathematics and a rudimentary knowledge of chemistry and of botany. During the later two years, work in these fields is continued and more advanced subjects, such as phar- macognosy, microanalysis, and phyto- chemistry, are added. Also sometime during this period the prospective phar- macist learns to decipher the hiero- glyphics which a doctor scribbles upon prescription blanks. During the senior year, practical work is undertaken and at Bell Memorial Hospital and at Watkins Hospital, preparations are compounded under the supervision of licensed phar- macists. Two organizations serve to unite the pharmacists and to further their mutual ends. The Pharmaceutical Society, composed of faculty members and stu- dents, meets regularly on Thursday morn- ings at 11:30, while the national phar- maceutical fraternity, Kappa Psi, with (Continued on page 165) DECEMBER, 1935 137 PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY Anderson, C.

This society, over the span of years, has been a means of stimulating original investigations and of bringing the stu- dents and faculty into closer contact than is possible in the classroom.

Slumb ' ring sweetly ' Neath fresh new-mown thatch-roofs, Dream-enwrapped, Snored two 100-lb. pigs. Without, A creature prowled A savage lust within his breast, With evil will to break their rest. And in The lonely night he howled Geez. I ' m hungry. Suddenly Like a bolt from heaven ' s blue (Ed. ' s note: You dope. It ' s night. You mean black.) (Auth. ' s note: Poetic license.) (Ed.

Wavereth the strawen walk Wobbleth the thatched roof Wiggleth the grassen floor. Waketh the slumb ' ring two. Crieth they, Let ' s get-the-hell outa here! Then over the meadow those swine did flee, Squealing all the way, Wee, wee, wee, wee. Behind in desolation drear Swine straw sheaths sank Shattering shriekingly Before the awful blast. The loathsome beast Whose deed th is was, Prey-frustrated, Gave pursuit In full tongue from which (a well- known canine characteristic) perspira- tion streamed. Fast Faster Fastest Through the fallow fields they fled With the wolf practically walking on their heels. On yon hillock Spied they Just in the nick of time, A rock-hewn mansion Yawning wide Their gentle brother Beck ' ning them inside. Tally-ho! cried he. Good eye! cried they. And, pausing only to wipe their feet carefully on the door-mat marked Welcome, They sped in. AS THE DOVE WOULD WRITE IT Down with Brick houses! Down with Capitalism ! ! Down with Straw houses! Down with T.Wolfe!! Down with Everything ! ! ! We, the open-minded and liberal, are overwhelmed with despair at the state of affairs now prevailing. Why should one pig, a bloated Capitalist ($$% ' $ S him, anyway!) live in a fine house of brick and stone while the rest of the pigs exist in degradation a nd wretchedness? Why? Why? Why? We, the champions of right, and rank enemies of wrong, protest against the grossly unfair conditions now prevailing, which force the common Pig, the spare- rib of the nation, of which the great mass is made up, to live in ill-built shacks, not even able to keep the wolf from the door, and being ground down almost to sausage. We point with pleasure to a terrible example of the unfair class divisions now in existence. Two fine and noble young pigs found their humble dwellings enmeshed in the drastic clutches of a depression last night, attacked by the heinous T. Wolfe. They were forced to flee in terror of their lives. Shall this outrage go unrequited, unpunished, unavenged ? No. No. A thousand times no. We publish a letter of interest to all un-thinking citizens: Brethren: Arise! Arise! Not only one speech but many speeches have been made by the filthily rich Mr. Wolfe. We wonder how Mr. Wolfe can be so long-winded when he knows only a few crude and obnoxious words of a threatening nature. We wonder. We dare anyone to object to our wondering. This is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. Since Mr. Wolfe ' s attack and demolishment of the straw homes last night, we would call it, rather, the land of debris and the home of the knave. Are we going to let these overwhelm- ing outrages continue ? Not if we Arise! Arise ! Signed, The Pigs Whose Houses Were Blown Down. AS THE SOUR OWL WOULD WRITE IT THE SNOOPER This time it ' s the wolf, boys and girls, and he snooped around last week to the door of Pig Etta, Fie, the good old brick and stone lodge. And did he give a Sour Howl when he got there! For it seems Pig Meupp, fraternity flash, was enter- taining a couple of girl friends there. What will Oluck Hog say when she finds out? We thought a badge deal was cinched between those two. OVER THE BACK FENCE That ' s the way the two little Pigs say they got to the brick and stone house. If you want to know why they left their straw shacks just ask them. They ' ll tell you a windy story. SOUROWLMANAC Dec. 13: Eat. Sleep. Run around pen twice. Dec. 14: Eat. Sleep. Run around pen once.

Membership to the organization is open to all women of the University who have maintained a grade average of C. To qualify further for membership, the candidate must be able to use certain swimming strokes as well as be able to execute one type of dive. Much interest has been shown this year in this organization, and the members are eagerly looking forward to and practicing diligently for the traditional swimming demonstration.

And they have it. Not only do they have it in swimming and dancing classes, but also in intra- mural sports, where they put the results of training they take in tennis, handball, hockey and other games to test. These intramural sports, with the backing of the efficient W.A.A., headed by the equally efficient Loize Montgomery, got off to a good start this year with the volleyball tournaments bringing out a big crowd of players and rooters. As the result of a well-managed and exciting game from start to finish, Watkins Hall was winner in the finalist match between it and TNT which was played off November 18 with a score of 51-27. With the independent team and organ- ized house team matches out of the way, the class teams, composed of the best players from the groups, went into their tournament with customary vigor. Frances Bruce was elected captain of the senior team, Marjorie Rowland of the juniors, Ruth Baker of the sophomores, and D. J. Willcuts of the freshmen. Seeded high point players among the two hundred women who reported for volleyball this season were D. J. Willcuts and Dorothy Trekell, Watkins Hall; Kathleen Teagarden, Alpha Delta Pi; Rosemarie Kilker, Corbin Hall; Frances Bruce, Pi Beta Phi; and Marjorie ' Row- land, TNT. Horseshoe matches were fought off between Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Gamma Delta and IWW, ably represented by Kathleen Teagarden, Ida Lanning, Valere Davey and Loize Montgomery. Handball ' s best players were Carol Hunter, IWW; Marjorie Rowland and Loize Montgomery. Tennis singles this fall attracted over one hundred entrants and throughout the entire tournament D. J. Willcuts, Doris Stockwell, IND, and Martha Dodge, Kappa Kappa Gamma, were holding out in great shape. INSTRUCTION IN FENCING With Wednesdays and Thursdays being about the only two days in the week not marked by rain, the hockey teams managed to get in most of their practice matches through the fall months. Representative players were Betty Han- son, Gamma Phi Beta; Ruth Baker, IWW; Rachel Kiene, Pi Beta Phi; Ruth Worley, Alpha Delta Pi, and Kathleen Teagarden. For entrance in intramural and class sports, for membership in Quack and Tau Sigma, and for placing in the swim- ming events a woman receives W.A.A. points. She needs 25 to make her a member of the organization which now has 40 active members. For 600 points she receives the K. U. emblem. Twelve women have that now. And for 1350 points she is presented with the K. U. blazer. Mary Irvin, Lorraine Lawrence, Loize Montgomery, and Carol Hunter are in possession of this highest award. Once in W.A.A. a woman will be elemental in working out the projects the group sponsors throughout the year. One of these is the Puff-Pant Prom, that hilarious manless brawl which was held November 15 this year in the Union ball- room. Then the women have an oppor- tunity to demonstrate how absolutely handsome they can be in men ' s clothes. Towanda Gabbert, who turned out in a faultless tuxedo for the affair, was judged the best-dressed stag on the floor this year. The best-dressed couple award went to Maxyne Woody and Mildred Mikesell. Cups were given to Watkins Hall for having the largest number of members present and to Delta Zeta for having the largest percentage. A bouquet to Wayne Wright ' s band for its soft slinky music that night. Quack Club ' s 38 members had to elect themselves a new president this fall after it was discovered that Betty Tholen was ineligible because she held too many honor points. Rachel Kiene received the honor, and Marjorie Rowland was named secretary-treasurer. Quack is planning a water exhibition in connection with the state telegraphic meet which will be held in April. These meets, which were insti- gated by the University two years ago and which have been won here both years, have proved a popular way of running off swimming contests. Teams in Kansas colleges are invited to participate, and their results, tabulated according to a definite system, sent to the University where the winners are determined. The exhibition matches held at the same time here will include races, floating forma- tions, stunts and dives. Quack is celebrat- ing its thirteenth birthday this fall. It was organized in 1922 by Miss Ruth Hoover, the capable director of women ' s athletics. Tau Sigma, the Greeks would call it a group of dancers, introduced sev- eral years ago one of the most popular classes on the hill the social dancing class which proved itself as successful again this fall. Up until the Thanks- (Continued on page 162) DECEMBER, 1935 145 The home-coming celebration The university dresses up and wel- comes the old grads with open arms by LLOYD MORGAN THE annual University of Kansas Homecoming was held this year in connection with the Kansas-Missouri football game on Thanksgiving Day. Under the guidance of Chairman Laur- ence Woodruff, the Homecoming Com- mittee formulated the program for a big two-day celebration to begin on Novem- ber 27. The plans actually began to take shape at the rally on Friday evening pre- ceding the Iowa State game. It was announced then there would be no school on Wednesday, and the longed-for Hobo Day would be a reality. This decision met the instantaneous approval of the student body, and instilled them with a holiday spirit which prevailed through- out the week. Also as a feature of the Iowa State rally was the election of a Homecoming Queen. The Queen has formerly been elected by the football team, but this year she was elected by a vote of the students attending the rally. This innovation inspired additional inter- est on the part of those not otherwise rally-minded. Each sorority attended en masse to elect one of their members to queenhood, but lo and behold Miss Betty Grove of Corbin Hall won that honor by a substantial majority. The actual celebration for Homecom- ing began on Wednesday, November 27, which allowed the several days follow- ing the Iowa State disaster to act as a convalescence period for Kansas pep. At any rate, nearly all of the students who remained in Lawrence braved the cold, rainy weather to appear as hoboes sur- rounding the bonfire at 9:30 that morn- ing. The crowd was not as big as it would have been had the celebration been at an earlier date; but the group of stu- dents who gathered for the fun-making was by no means small and was decidedly full of pep. The costumes were varied and all of them reflected the originality and cleverness of the participants. The first main event on the program was a rally in the auditorium. After the rally the hoboes marched down to Potter ' s Lake where the highly publicized duck race was to be held. Each Hill organiza- tion was to be represented by a duck and the winning group was to receive all the ducks entered, as first prize. The ducks had been rigorously trained for several days by their sponsoring organizations and each entrant was in good condition by race time. The rivalry was keen and all the contestants were on edge. Barring the fact that the ducks called a strike and gathered in the middle of the lake, the race was a success. The Band ' s repre- sentative carried away the honors, swim- ming a fair race and triumphing over other contestants propelled by mechanical means and doped with stimulating drugs. Following the duck derby the hoboes and hoboettes paraded up the hill to the gymnasium where the last event of the morning, the customary dance, was held. Everyone seemingly had a fine time at the dance, and the consensus of opinion was that all University parties would be more enjoyable if such a feeling of (Continued on page 162) 146 THE JAYHAWKER The slipstick school Describing the daily life, in school and out, of the boys from Marvin Hall by GORDON MILLER I EIATHER jacket, corduroy pants, and slide rule by these signs shall ye know them, for they are t he engineers of K. U. That traditional style of dress was chosen with an eye toward the practical side of affairs rather than a conscious effort at individuality. Long hours spent in the field, surveying, or in the labor- atory, working with corrosive substances, are not helpful to clothes, hence the choice of the ill-appearing garb. Long mathematical calculation are a tax on the brain, hence the slide rule to serve as a mental crutch to get the job done easier and better. We have identified the engineer; now let us see how he lives. Right from the first it may be well to realize that life is no snap for him. He must go to school longer and carry heavier courses than practically any other student on the Hill. The engineer carries, as a normal course, 18 hours a semester, and very frequently he has to take 20 hours. In addition, many of the subjects that he takes are laboratory courses so that it is necessary for him to attend school from 8:30 to 4:30 nearly every day. Also he in all probability may have a class on Saturday morning. Thus we see that he has few spare moments during the day for the exchange of pleasantries that are so much a part of college life. Even on week ends when the engineer should be enjoying a brief vacation, he must spend his time writing long reports on the experiments done during the week. FRANK NEAL BOB WILLIAMS Like other students preparing for pro- fessional lives, the engineer is in school to learn how to make his bread and butter after he graduates. For that reason, school is a bit more serious, and con- scientious effort is a little more necessary. The engineer must master each subject as he goes along, or he will be lost, for practically all courses depend upon ones taken previously. Do not get the mistaken idea that the engineer has all work and no play. The engineer at work works hard, and the engineer at play plays hard. He must make up for lost time in a big way. Though he may miss the coking dates and the afternoon frivolities he takes in the majority of the other activities in DOING THEIR HOME WORK RUSSEL YOUNG which the student body engages. He may not get around as much because of his limited time; but the getting around that he does is full of pep and energy and he enjoys it to the utmost. In addition to the regular social events of the year the engineers have a few special ones. One of the most important of these is the Hobnail Hop. The Hop this year, in the opinion of nearly all who attended, was the greatest Varsity on the Hill in a long, long time. With the novelty of the two bands playing, the pre-Nebraska enthusiasm, and the released energy of the engineers at their party, the Hop was the livest and peppiest dance in the memory of most. At the Hobnail Hop the engineers were presented their newly elected queen, Elizabeth Shearer. This was the second year that the engi- neers have elected a queen to reign over their dance. Another event of the year for the engi- neer is the Field Day and Banquet. Some- time along in the spring the different branches of engineers, Mechanical, Elec- trical, Civil, Chemical, Architectural and Mining, organize their teams and start practicing in preparation for Field Day. When the day arrives they are primed for the battle and they mean to show that they are the best branch of all. Down on the intermural field the boys strain with all their might to pull the other teams into the ditch in the tug of war. Each baseball team plays on tiptoe to put the opponents out in 1-2-3-order. Up in Robinson gym, the basket ball stars swish the ball through the net with great (Continued on page 158) MARVIN HALL, HOME OF THE ENGIHEEM 148 THE JAYHAWKER Pan-Hellenic pinheads In which a prominent fraternity man wonders why the Greek lodges shun each other by PHILIP RENICK ON the Berkeley campus of the Uni- versity of California not long ago, something happened which is rather typical of West Coast fraternity men. It was so typical, as a matter of fact, that it attracted no undue attention around the lair of California ' s Golden Bear. But when the story was told to a group of K. U. fraternity men the other night they were flabbergasted. Here ' s the story, and you can check on your own Kansas reactions: Charlie Wong, wizened Chinese cook for the Phi Psi boys on Hearst Avenue, turned up for work on a sunny morning long after he should have served break- fast. He was laboring along under condi- tions wh ich are commonly known as being gassed. Wong was promptly run off the place for good, but that didn ' t get the boys any luncheon. Just then the chimes of the luncheon bell ringing in the House of Wooglin, next door, came floating into the hairy ears of the Phi Psis. To a man they bolted across the yards into the dining room of the Woogs, who tried to hide their chagrin with good-natured howls of protest. The uninvited guests then proceeded to con- sume a hearty lunch at the expense of their hosts. Because this sort of thing has been a part of university life at Berkeley among most of the houses on the campus not just this particular pair since before the days when Alf used to pop corks with the K. U. boys 1 , it was all in good faith with the Woogs and Phi Psis. But can you imagine a similar thing hap- pening on the Jayhawker campus? Frankly, I cannot. Why does this unfortunate lack of indi- vidual friendship and camaraderie between members of different fraternities hang on at Kansas University? When your corres- pondent arrived here as a freshman three years ago he was as baffled as the rest of his classmates with the confusion, the scrambled activities, and the new conven- tions that are the bane of every fresh- man ' s existence for a year, but the disappointing thing was the small oppor- tunity of meeting and learning to know the freshman pledged to other organized houses. The reaction was one of having been cheated, and has been so ever since Time Magazine, Oct. 14, 1935, p. 15, col. 2. for it has been difficult to make up for that half-portion first year. Supposing we Pan-Hellenic Pinheads take stock of our self-imposed situa- tion and attitude wherein we have per- verted a most desirable phase of frater- nity life into a sad sort of snobbery, preferring to think of ourselves and our particular fraternities as being absolutely infallible, rather than getting out and learning what is behind that present-day ultimate limit of inter-fraternity relations the guest night handshake. The great majority of Kansas Univer- sity students are from small towns and rural areas, where families have been friends for decades, where their children grow up together, where everybody knows everybody else and their business and life history. We are all alike in this inherent respect, so why attempt to deny it at this stage of the game? Let ' s look at our fraternities: every house on the campus was first a group of young men like ourselves who got together in order to further the possibilities of friendships made in their rooming and eating houses. One by one these little groups were affiliated to national fraternities, until today there isn ' t a single local on the campus. So we have another common bond in our common origins, and the same skeletons in our respective attic closets. A friend of the author ' s who attends another large middle-western univer- sity was heard to remark that by the end of his junior year he knew the names of a thousand men on his campus. This remark was made as a casual statement of fact and not as a boast. Only the K. U. politicians (now virtually extinct) can claim any such coterie as this one. An examination of the alumni files shows that most graduates of the Uni- versity live in Kansas towns for the rest of their lives, and practically all within a radius of 250 miles of one another. Anticipate the possibilities of your living in Kansas after you leave school, and realize the pleasures that would come from being able to drive into almost any city or village in the state and meet men who were your friends at K. U. ! Profes- sional men of all kinds frequently have reason to call on other men in the same work in other towns. Those who can call on men they know personally have a decided advantage over their competitors. You and I are going to school every day with these business associates of the future, yet for the most part we are deprived, by ourselves, of even their acquaintance. The methods whereby this condition can be overcome are limited according to the resourcefulness of our men stu- dents, and to the importance which they place upon inter-fraternity relations. One device in particular seems to have been received with favor and success. There is no expense attached, and desirable opportunities for learning to know your contemporaries are made possible. Fra- ternity A sends its freshmen and sophomores (any number desired) to fra- ternity B for dinner. B in turn sends the same number of juniors and seniors to A for dinner. Following dinner, a smoker, a lecture by a professor, or a dis- cussion on any vital topic of mutual inter- est (such as this one) makes an hour pass quickly but pleasantly. No need here for the enumeration of other devices. But wouldn ' t you, as an individual for your own selfish interests at least like to increase the scope of your personal friendships and your list of acquaintances ? There is only one true answer to that question. Do what you can to help your- self by seeing that your fraternity lends its weight to this movement. It is a live movement resulting from a need. Let us forget our provincialism our complac- ent high-hattedness, because the K. U. fraternity men are not of such a stamp when taken individually. And that appears to your correspondent as the answer. Friendships are easy to make, pleasantly maintained, hard to break. CAR GAZING ( Continued from page 101) line last year has spread like wild fire and is in evidence on the great majority of the models this year. Knee action wheel suspension has retained its position in the lower and medium price fields, but is not a general feature on the larger cars. In most cases individual wheel suspension is optional depending upon the wishes of the pros- pective buyer. In fact the whole attitude of the industry is one of pleasing the motor market, ajid a person desiring to buy a new car is presented with no end of (Continued on page 161) DECEMBER, 1935 149 WELL, there ' s darned little to say in this issue. Seems like the only things that ' s happened has been the Nebraska game, Mid-semesters and Homecoming. I guess plenty could be said about the Nebraska game, but they probably wouldn ' t put it into print, and who doesn ' t know that they can ' t get away with anything on Homecoming ' cause it ' s so dose to home and everyone ' s folks are up and stuff. Perhaps the best thing to do is to turn over to the cartoons, but I ' ll struggle on ' cause the editor says the mail must go through. Helen Smedley over at the Kappa house, who is the Hill ' s best girl dancer, is going to have to get a new method of telling the boys goodbye when someone cuts in on her. Several of the boys are awful ticklish and that patting on the back sets some going. Others are baffled because they never can tell whether she ' s pattin ' them because she ' s so glad to get rid of them, or because they are such good dancers too. Rachel Kiene of Pi Phi and Ed Haren at the Chi house have a unique system of keeping cor- rect count of their beers. Yes my friends, a count- ing board and after each one they just move the peg up one until they get to the top where they start over again. Seems like that the Phi Gams have just about as many pledges as they can take care of too. Not long ago, Carter Maule of Wichita, of a Sunday afternoon got an idea that he would like to go home. He did that very thing in a big way. Went to Kansas City, he did, and chartered a plane home and went unnoticed till some time Tuesday. He ' s back now though, girls. Won ' t be long fore a lucky boy and girl get their names drawn to make a short trip out to the Rose Bowl to take in a football game. Sounds pretty good, but its rumored that several girls have given up saving coupons since they heard that Georgie Guernsey was so earnestly saving them too. An obstacle like that would be enough to ruin any girl ' s perfectly good time even in California. Of course this is just a rumor prob- ably, but it ' s common talk that if the Phi Gam ' s get any more like George they are going to put a mop on their coat-of-arms. From the sorority battle front before the soror- ity song festival came remarks from Virgil Crook, Kappa songster, that this was one time that good looks wasn ' t going to win for KKG. Little did she realize the truth of her statement. Dear old Pi Beta Phi also tried oh, so hard. In fact the strain of practice was so great one night that Elizabeth Freet fainted, Gertie Field swallowed her arrow, and Jane Heffner lost her voice. Might be a good idea if the voice was lost permanently. Jane Givens pulled a clever stunt a short time ago. Happens that both she and Helen Tyler were mailing some packages one afternoon; Jane ' s went to her boy friend and Helen ' s to her father. Big hearted Givens offered to mail both, which was darned nice of her, but during the process, she chanced to put the messages attached in the wrong boxes. You can imagine Father Tyler ' s sur- prise when he received his box in which was a card with all Jane ' s love and kisses. Wonder what would have happened if Ma Tyler had got hold of the box ? Elizabeth Hannah won the prize sometime back for being the most successful Kappa other than Charrie Hay for getting out of tight holes. Mid- week day, it was, and Buff met her date on the Hill during the afternoon and all formalities were gone over as to time, etc. Later that evening, Buff was called to the phone and informed that the voice on the phone would be over in a few moments. Supposing that it was her date, she assented. Was she surprised when she was met at (Continued on page 156) by RIP VAN WINCHELL 150 THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes CHEERIO, CHEERIO and a bit of an evening at the opera or something. That should be the impression to be gained when the budding maestro of the Hill, Red Blackburn, sallies forth in his top hat, white tie and tails. At least dame rumor has it that that ' s to be the costume. Red already had the tails but now he ' s added to them, all the neces- sary trimmings, including even the neces- sary topcoat. Speaking of tails it seems the Delta Chi boys are turning to the ne plus ultra in correct evening wear. At the Delta Chi party, Benny McGuire and Jack Carlson came forth in this attire. And mighty smart, too. The appearance of tails last year, then, together with their increasing popularity might point to a trend similar to that of the old grads ' pride, when everyone wore full dress to the varsities, even. Anyway, tails are plenty smart, their correctness cannot be questioned, and we welcome the trend. Tuxedos seem to be going double breasted for the most part, with tendencies toward the shawl collar, or the long roll to the lower button, adapted from the Duke of Kent models in daytime clothes. Midnight blue is the new color on the horizon. It ' s blacker than black at night and really sets off the shirt fronts. The Phi Gams are well represented with double breasted tuxes, what with Lon Buzick, Al Lemoine and John by HIM Greene sporting these, new for the com- ing Fiji party. In reference to the trend in sports type suits which we mentioned last time, have you seen Bob Williams ' blue checked, single breasted, three button, sack coat suit ? It ' s in the trend and plenty smart. This model should be very popu- lar, especially for wear with odd slacks by spring. Jack Townsend at Sigma Alpha Epsilon sports one of this model, in a rough herringbone weave. However, his has the shoulder gussets, a new vari- ety of the sport back. The general appearance of the Duke of Kent double breasted models with long roll lapels and side vents is gaining very favorable acceptance, not only here but at all the eastern university style centers. Among those on the Hill, Frank Neal of Phi Delta Theta and also Ray Roberts of the same residence, Dave Fisher of S. P. E., Clarence Winslow of the A. T. O. ranch, and several others have been seen in this model. Lon Buzick of Phi Gamma Delta has one in a dark blue chalk stripe that is mighty nice. Sweaters seem to be going much toward the true coat types. One of the newer models is just like a coat, carrying patch pockets, lapels and a shirred back. Guernsey has adapted this for wear on all occasions, and others of this model are owned by Paul MacCaskill and Bob Williams. As a trend, still a long way off, but at least on the way we might suggest that you watch for the new London lounge models. These are big stuff on the famous Saville Row in London, and should prove very popular in this country. They have a drastic departure from the ordinary lounge suits like the popular English drape now being seen. In introducing a sort of natural body line construction they provide added dressiness and yet provide the same fullness that was a fea- ture of the drape, but they eliminate the wrinkles in the latter, at the shoulders. Shirts are apparently becoming more colorful daily as the trend turns toward herringbones and vivid checks, to say nothing of the many British Stripes, and darker colors being seen. Something still new, but nevertheless on the way is the new type of collar, known as the (Continued on page 153) the . . . .

Strictly Feminine Feminine fashions FASHION, that omnipotent patron to all women throughout the world, i everpresent, especially among the college girls of today. We, of America, are just as intrigued by her as anyone, though, strange as it seems, we depend on our foreign friends for our inspirations. This season, especially, is the foreign element noticeable drapes from Greece, boleros from Spain, tunics and Cossack hats from Russia, shoes from France, plaids from Scotland. Being up-to-date Co-eds, the lassies at K. U. keep right in step with this Dame Fashion. Now that the campus functions are in full sway, the K. U. girls are in the height of their glory. Costume suits are more in showing than ever before. One of the prize- winners we ' ve seen is Betty Ruth Smith ' s, Theta gray wool, with a short, full jacket, full jacket trimmed around the neck and down the front with gray fur. Her accessories are a green velvet hat and collar. Barbara Simpson, Kappa pledge, wears a two-piece suit (dress and jacket) of dark red plaid wool. The jacket is fitted and short, its extreme tailoredness being relieved by a fur col- lar. To continue the suit question, might we ask you to note the one donned by Gertrude Field, Phi Phi? It ' s dashing dark brown swagger coat, with a huge creamy colored fur collar. Her tricky Tyrolean hat of brown felt is high- crowned, decorated with a stiff green feather in the back. Knit clothes, it seems, will always be appropriate for nearly every occasion. Helen Elsie Green, Alpha Chi pledge, has a rose-colored one, with which she wears gold accessories. And do you remember when we wore Jack-Tar dresses to grade school the ones with sailor collars and dickies in the front? Martha Davis, Theta ' s style-setter, fashions a sailor dress of navy blue piped in white, very similar to those of the old days. We like its simplicity and extreme smartness. Even in the first few months of school, formal wear has taken a decided turn in style. The pinktone Ribonne crepe formal fashioned by Helen Deer, Kappa, is an exquisite example of evening dress. Wide lapels and a dark ascot tie add a further dash to a gown of first impor- by HER tance. Catherine Custer, Alpha Delta Pi, is stunning in a brilliant ruby-red velvet dinner dress; with her dark complexion, it gives her an oriental-ish appearance. To the Hobnail Hop, Elizabeth Shearer, the Queen and a Theta, made her appearance in a black lace formal, strictly tailored, with rather full sleeves. Dorothy Blue, Kappa pledge, fashioned that same night a purple moire evening dress, touched off with a pink satin tie. And have you noticed Betty Lou McFarland, Pi Phi, in a black velvet dinner dress? The low-cut neckline adds a bit of vigour and newness to the style. Betty Hogue, also a Pi Phi and a blonde, looks exceedingly smart in a similar black vel- vet, long-sleeved dinner dress. These lucky blondes can get by easily with simple, black styles. Evelyn Little, Kappa, wears a silver lame formal that is the very essence of evening slickness. The dress itself is made with a halter neck, and a fitted, tailored jacket can be worn for less formal wear. A green ascot tie adds a touch of color around the neck.

Collar types now in favor are the widespread button downs and the Kent. However, don ' t overlook the fact that ring eyelets and tabs are running a close second. For the dressier type collars, the general opinion favors the medium length points. Shirts of this type are more colorful too, so much so, that plain white shirts seem to be suffering a slump for the more informal and daytime wear, at least. Four-in-hand ties, while favoring stripes and plaids earlier in the fall tend towards more mixtures and backgrounds. Bow ties with the pointed ends especially are quite popular now. Witness, among many, Eddie Amsberger of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Bill Kandt, the Phi Psi drum major. In shoes, buckskins are still very popu- lar for campus wear. For the dressier type of shoes there is a little more embellish- ment than has been the case, with medal- lions and rough seams being favored. There have been a number shown in Alli- gator leather, but we doubt the potentiali- ties of this very much. In looking over the Hill ' s better dressed men, we ' d like to suggest a few names. Bill McElfresh of Sigma Chi surely pre- sents versatility in a smart wardrobe. Tom Ise, a newcomer on the Hill and Fresh- man lawyer, seems to present some mighty smart clothes along with some colorful bow ties. Of course we mustn ' t overlook the man who has become almost a legend on the campus, at least in term of resi- dence, none other than Ned Brandon. Down at the Beta House, there ' s Frank Oberg who always seems to wear the right thing at the right time and wear it well. And at the D. U. house there ' s Phil Cartmell who sports a mighty versatile wardrobe. Until next issue, let ' s see what the winter season proper, and the formal season bring forth. We still maintain that Kansas men are as well dressed as any- where, especially after trips to Nebraska, Kansas State and Missouri this fall. For Good Cleaning and Pressing Phone t 926 Mass.

From a field of 135 in handball pyramid play, George Paris, Beta; Frank- lin Murphy, Beta; Donald Obee, Rock Chalk; Darby Trotter, Phi Delt, and Stewart Chambers, Phi Delt, advanced to the quarter-finals in the play-off. Paul Rapoport, Rock Chalk veteran, was the first to reach the finals. All eyes are focused on the intramural champion cup for highest point total which now decorates the trophy shelf in the Beta house. The cup for the highest individual point winner is due to change hands as John Morrison, three-year Kappa Sig star, who won it last year, was ineligible in the ' 35- ' 36 intramurals. The little intramural program that started here in 1922 has grown and grown every year until now it is too big for the indoor facilities of the University. Basketball this winter will be limited to 55 teams for lack of space. Intramurals in Kansas University have reached a level unexcelled by any other schools in this section and in all prob- ability the minor sports will continue con- verting students into athletes here. tfrrchuit at eOOD APPEftlftHCS FOOTBALL (Continued from page 128) well, back to pass, was hemmed in by several Kansas linemen, but in despera- tion tossed to LaNoue behind the line of scrimmage. LaNoue zigzagged his way 35 yards to the 3-yard line and Francis plunged over for the winning counter. The absence of Harris from the lineup proved to be a great disadvantage, as the Huskers gained a great deal on punt exchanges. The Jayhawkers climbed to Boulder, Colorado, the following week to take the measure of the Colorado University Bisons, 12 to 6. The Coloradans scored first, but the Jayhawkers, after acclimat- ing themselves, came back with a rush to score once in the first half and to find themselves with a first down on the Bison 3-yard line when the period ended. Hapgood scored the other touchdown. The Kansans uncovered a flock of lateral passes that fooled the Bisons completely to gain a few extra yards when progress seemed stopped, but seemed to forget the trick in the Iowa State contest the follow- (Continued on page 163) 154 WOMEN ' S PAN-HELLENIC (Continued from page 122) themselves. The only exceptions to this all-student membership are a faculty representative, Miss Hazely, and the adviser of women, Miss Meguiar. The willing assistance and advice of these two ladies is most welcome, for they present the mature viewpoint and keep the organization in contact with the adminis- tration ' s policies. Each member sorority sends two repre- sentatives, one of whom is, for obvious reasons, the rush captain. Officers are chosen from the various sororities in rotating order. To control and regulate the sororities so that they will exist side by side in a spirit of harmony and friendship, real- izing their kinship and interdependency, is the real purpose of Pan-Hellenic. The Judiciary Committee, which is composed of three members appointed by the presi- dent, and the two faculty mem bers, plays an important role in the execution of this function. Gertrude Field, the present president of Pan-Hellenic, carries her responsibilities with ease and dignity, and has succeeded in performing her difficult tasks with such wisdom, charm, and complete lack of prejudice, that she has won the whole-hearted co-operation of all the members. Gertrude has deter- mined that Pan-Hellenic ' s true duties shall be conscientiously carried out, and her energy and sincerity have instilled a new enthusiasm into her co-workers and inspired them to insist on square play and mutual helpfulness. She is ably assisted by Betty Ruth Smith, Secretary- Treasurer, a clear-thinking, likeable per- son who truly gets the job done. We are unusually fortunate in our advisory members. Miss Meguiar is cautious and deliberate in rendering her decisions, and when she gives an opinion, we can be sure she has regarded it from every angle and has considered fairness above all else. Miss Hazely, who is a non-sorority member, represents the out- sider ' s viewpoint, as often the broader aspects of a situation can be seen more clearly by such a member, and certainly Miss Hazely has given generously of her unbiased services. Pan-Hellenic has complete charge of rushing rules and social privileges. Rush- ing is undoubtedly the problem with which it is most concerned, for under this head come the various complications that must be eliminated and the many confusing problems which must be diplo- matically untangled. Rushing is so all- important to the sorority group because its very life depends on the successful rush season. This year saw a complete change in rushing rules and next year even more changes are foreseen, in order that the system be better adjusted to this particular campus ' problem. Pan-Hellenic has set as one of its much-desired goals, the attainment of friendliness and co-operation between the sorority and non-sorority girl. Pan- Hellenic feels that each has so much of benefit to give the other and that through their united efforts the university as a whole will profit. In an attempt to accom- plish this purpose, Pan-Hellenic is spon- soring varsities during the year. The Hallowe ' en Varsity, which was the first, was thought by those attending to be a considerable success. Pan-Hellenic also has one party a year, which ten members from each sorority may attend, and this party has established itself as quite a memorable function. Our Pan-Hellenic is a progressive and farsighted organization an organization of high ideals and definite aims, and it is the duty of every woman on the campus to support and uphold these ideals and aims. In adjusting delicate personal problems and guiding the individual sororities to security and happiness, Pan- Hellenic performs an invaluable service a service whose worth and sincerity we find in the National Pan-Hellenic Creed We, the fraternity undergraduate members, stand for good scholarship, for the guardians of good health, for whole-hearted co-operation with our col- lege ' s ideals for student life, for the main- tenance of fine social standards and the serving to the best of our ability our college community. Good college citizen- ship as a preparation for good citizenship in the larger world of alumnae days is the ideal that shall guide our chapter activities. . . . We, the fraternity women in America, stand for preparation for service through character building inspired in the close contact and deep friendship of fraternity life. To us fraternity life is not the enjoy- ment of special privileges but an oppor- tunity to prepare for wide and wise human service.

During past years it has always been an old Fiji cus- tom to disrupt all serenades, and to have the tables turned was indeed bitter tea. However, phone calls, demanding satis- faction were spurned and the Fijis were forced to be content by shouting to hell with Richardson, Dieter and Voorhees the rest of the night.

The Phi Delts sure were out for blood because they tied a string around their duck ' s leg, and pulled him across the lake, but the gag didn ' t work so they had to have someone else bring the ducks for their dinner, too.

Lacking issues as usual, the Pachacamacs fell to baiting the Betas and talking about past victories, while the Independent raised the usual howl against fraternity domination and talked rather vaguely of breaking (or was it busting?) the machine. Also as usual, Pachacamac won, having only to lose a position as dance manager because of proportional representation. The women continued their policy of avowed lily-white elections and at a mass nominated approximately one-fourth of the freshmen women for their allotted two offices. After the customary round of teas, the fairer sex proceeded to express their choice (ever a feminine preroga- tive) with the result that Dorothy Will- cuts and Margaret Alberty emerged vic- torious. Never let it be said that the word combine is mentioned in connection with women ' s politics, yet for the information of the politically minded, Misses Wilcuts and Alberty, residents respectively of Watkins and Corbin Hall, received 87 and 88 votes as compared to not more than 15 for any of the other candidates.

In addition, how- ever, Mr. Busick will attend the Men ' s Student Council, if and when the Secre- tary of the Council remembers to notify him, and will lend his wisdom to the deliberations of this august body, albeit he has no vote. Mr. Newlin, alas, has nothing to do in his capacity as treasurer. Messrs. Ritchie and Hildebrand will sit hopefully around until the first of December when they will be notified that the Varsity ' Dance Manager has selected the orchestra and made all necessary arrangements for the Freshman Frolic. Doubtless, however, the Kansan will append their names to the announcement of the Frolic. Misses Willcuts and Alberty are a shade more fortunate. They will enter the meetings of the W. S. G. A. and will actually be allowed to vote. Most important, however, they will be admitted free to all varsities and will thereafter be actively pursued by the campus ' more thrifty-minded students. Despite the fun which we poke at the various class offices and at the methods used in attaining them, none of us dis- pute the f act that the attainment of such offices is a distinct honor. Ridicule of the importance of these offices by no means implies the slightest ridicule of the per- sons holding these offices.

Pig (who) last night (when) were forced to flee (what) to escape furnishing rations to T. Wolfe (why) who attacked their houses by instigating a windstorm according to the huff-puff method. It has been disclosed that the Misses Pig had, in the previous month, received many alarming threats from T. Wolfe. But they did nothing about them. Miss P. R. Pig states: We did not reinforce our straw houses since we believed them protection enough against the odious Mr. Wolfe. The windstorm, centered last night on the residences of the two pigs, was so violent that the straw domiciles were battered to the ground and completely destroyed. There were no casualities. The two Misses Pig escaped secretly through the grocery delivery entrance to theii homes, ordinarily known in popular par- lance as the trough. They found refuge in the house of a neighbor, Esquire Pig, M., whose sturdily built domicile was proof against the wind. Esq. Pig, when asked to what he attributed this success, stated : The secret of my success is brick and stones. I find that houses of this material withstand windstorms. Though they require more time and effort in building than do the houses of my more inclined- to-leisure friends, I have been willing to work hard to achieve my goal. The Misses Pig are not pressing charges against T. Wolfe. They go so far even as to say that they never want to meet Mr. Wolfe face to face again. IN THE PANTS By Rex Woods, Sp.

The Engineering Banquet held the night of the Field Day is quite a memorable occasion. Each of the six branches of engineering sits at its special table which is decorated with some iden- tifying symbol. The Faculty are there in number and many an engineering alum- nus is back to renew old acquaintances. All through the meal there is constant banter and heckling between groups, and there are organized yells such as Assay Ton, or Oh, you Civils Sulphide Ore, Aren ' t you nifty?

This exposition creates a great deal of interest throughout the state and is one of the best advertisements that the University receives. This exposi- tion endeavors to show what engineering is doing for the betterment of human life, and also what the University of Kansas is doing as an institution where the vari- ous branches of engineering are taught. The exposition will be held again this spring, and should be of great interest to all students and friends of the University.

She has the least burden of prescribed schedules, for the daily activities, the emphasized do ' s and don ' ts and the prearranged attitude toward campus problems. However, even with these limitations, the sororities are beneficial to a girl in her freshman year. It takes time to become acclimated, so to speak, in the jump between high school and college, and often many girls who would lack the initiative if required to do so by themselves, are pushed into campus organization and activities by the demands made of a pledge in an organization. It has been said of organized houses at K. U. that their co-operation in Hill activities is perhaps their most important function. Group pride spon- sors this work and their help in backing many traditions or innovations is an excellent thing. If only non-sorority women could form into one organized group, excellent work could be done through their co-operation with organ- ized houses. Living expenses are decidedly increased by joining a sorority. Some of these financial requirements are justified, but it is true that a sorority girl decidedly pays for the benefits which a sorority may offer. Many colleges, feeling that the original function of sororities is no longer necessary, have abolished or attempted to prevent sororities on their campus. While it may be that sororities will no longer be necessary, it will never be possible to prohibit the spirit of them. If the organizations as they now stand are abolished, some group will surely form to carry on the sorority ideal and purpose. The conflict and feeling between sor- ority and non-sorority girls is an unneces- sary thing, and will be forgotten as soon as each group realizes it could not func- tion without the other.

MEN (Continued from page 129 i are too few and most of them have already acquired a large hands off sign. On the whole, most girls at K. U. feel the men are too young. Perhaps this statement may be justified by the fact that while there are very few four-year girls, most boys enter as freshmen instead of attending a smaller, perhaps local, col- lege beforehand. Either we falsely pride Durselves on an abundance of sophistication or else we have heard too many times the old adage that a girl is mature much earlier than a boy. True, there is a surface worldliness that can easily be ac- quired, but this veneer does not wear. A girl greatly appreciates a boy who instinc- tively knows the proper thing to do at all times and the small courte- sies and remem- brances that are somehow so im- portant.

TRUTH ABOUT K. U. MEN (Continued from page 159) on the subject of general manners while on a date. It often relieves an embarrass- ing situation if the boy suggests a tenta- tive schedule for the evening ' s entertain- ment. Unless a girl has a fairly accurate knowledge of her date ' s financial status it is hard to suggest the evening ' s activity. The gentleman who asks what you are doing on such-and-such a night, usually weeks ahead, has no idea what a quandary the girl is in at that moment. If asking for a date for something special, why not mention it? Several mix- ups and misunderstandings usually occur the other way. Speaking of gossiping, the women cer- tainly are not the only ones who are guilty. That is, unless we have gained the wrong impression of those many closed sessions of yours. There may be no masculine equivalent for the word catty, but if there is, it certainly is applicable. Many an affair which was, proceeding quite nicely without outside interference has suffered a premature death through the efforts of a brother who makes the pointed statement that Someone around here certainly is play- ing chump. Much has been said about varsities in general, but here is something that has been overlooked. The proper way for a stag to cut is not by grabbing a girl by the arm and taking her away from her dancing partner through force. Nor is it correct to deftly block a couple with an interference that would make a football player blush with pride. Dancing cheek to cheek is quite the thing except for the times when a boy has a neglected growth of beard that resembles an expanse of sandpaper. Most boys certainly all girls dislike to hear a so-called gentleman speak pro- fusely of what he fondly imagines to be a past. When a girl has to speak of her past she is confessing, but a boy eulogizing on the same subject is only bragging. Whether of personal conquest or yours or your friend ' s capacity for liquor, bragging is definitely outlawed. At any time it is hard to make general criticism, especially of such a large group, and somehow our once long list of suggestions andcriticisms had dwindled. It ' s a funny thing, but all of this that sounded so swell when just we girls got together to settle the world ' s problem somehow looks sort of silly in print.

The men really went out for these affairs, and when Tau Sigma mem- bers came up to assist as dancing part- ners, they were in their element. If they couldn ' t find a partner or were too bash- ful to tag, they sailed around by them- selves. It was all very delightful. Tau Sigma is now hard at work on the four numbers it will present with the sym- phony orchestra on January 9- The group also has an advanced tap class which pre- sents programs for various functions throughout the school year. Tau Sigma has a history too. Miss Dunkle organized it in 1921, and it has been going strong ever since. And so the fall season winds itself up. Quack and Tau Sigma members are busy with their work and play. Seasonal sports and intramurals have ended, and the results are neatly tabulated in the big W.A.A. book. Plans for a s uccessful sport year go merrily on. And once more women turn their eyes toward the good times offered through the winter months, basketball, free-throws, ping-pong, deck tennis, fencing and rifle. Already tryouts for the latter are well under way, and by the interest with which they report on the rifle range, the try-outers are demon- strating that the day of confining them- selves narrowly to feminine sports has long since passed. THE HOMECOMING CELEBRATION (Continued from page 145) informality were prevalent. All in all, this year ' s Hobo Day was a success; and certainly on this ground there should be a Hobo Day next year and the years following. In so doing a time-honored and popular tradition would be ' car- ried out. Wednesday afternoon the returning alumni were met in the Union build- ing and registered by a group of Jay Janes and W. S. G. A. representatives. This year the football team of 1910 cele- brated its silver jubilee; so special efforts were made to locate the living members of this group. This was quite a job as the members of that team are scattered all over the country from New York to Los Angeles. The 1910 record was not altogether victorious, but they won seven games and lost only one, which would be considered an excellent season by any team. Special memorial services were held Thursday for Tommy Johnson, a beloved and widely known member of the 1910 team. Johnson has often been referred to as Kansas ' greatest athlete and his name has long been a legend at the University. The class of 1911 under the direction of Mrs. Waldemar Geltch also called a meeting for Thursday morn- ing to make plans for their reunion next spring. At two o ' clock Wednesday afternoon the Phi Gams and the Sig Alphs met on Stadium Field to decide the champion- ship of the Intramural Touch Football competition. The two teams were well matched; and, although the field was soggy and neither team was able to appear at its best, the game was an inter- esting one and drew quite a crowd of enthusiastic spectators. The Phi Gams emerged victorious by a score of 2-0. Wednesday evening a special, fifteen- minute, K. U. program was broadcast over WREN at 6 o ' clock. At 8:30 the big torchlight parade began which fea- tured this year, for the first time, a num- ber of mounted floats. Prizes were offered for the best exhibit in the parade, and nearly every Hill organization was repre- sented. All of the floats were cleverly decorated, and each represented a great deal of effort on the part of the sponsor- ing group. The parade terminated at Eight Street where a final pep rally was held. This demonstration was broadcast over radio station WREN for twenty-five minutes, until 9:25 when the crowd dis- persed. Wednesday ' s program closed with a Homecoming Varsity at 10:00 which lasted until 1:00. Thursday morning the returning grads were greeted by huge signs in front of the sorority and fraternity houses, pro- claiming the sad plight of the Missouri Tiger and predicting the outcome of the game. A prize was offered for the best house decoration and blue streamers, dead tigers, and huge welcome signs. Ingenuity was apparent, and the decora- tions elaborately outdid any such attempts in the past few years. Special trains from Kansas City carried large crowds of Mis- souri rooters to Lawrence, and by noon the sororities and fraternities were filled with returning alumni. Down town all the restaurants did a rushing business, and special lunches were served at the organized houses. For over a week the Kansas City and Lawrence papers had been full of news about the big game ; so both Kansas and Missouri supporters looked for an exciting afternoon. Considering that Mis- souri tied the strong Kansas State team and Iowa State beat Kansas, the sport fans placed Missouri on nearly an even level with the more potent Kansas eleven. Feelings ran high toward game time and there was talk of considerable betting. The game marked the forty- fourth meet- ing of the two schools. Kansas had won twenty-four of the games, and Missouri fourteen. In the past five games Missouri had not even scored; so, with a fighting chance to win, their expectations were high. By game time the new Bermuda grass turf was in fairly good shape, ful- filling the Missourian ' s hopes for a dry field, but the temperature had dropped considerably and a stiff north wind was sweeping through the stadium. Nearly 18,000 fans stood in the cold sunless valley and watched the kickoff at 2 o ' clock. Among the enthusiasts were the number one alumni of each school: Governor Landon of Kansas, and Gover- nor Park of Missouri. The game was not at all spectacular, but was characterized by the brilliant defensive play of both teams. Both teams were wary and it was only fitting that the final score should be as it was, 0-0. In all fairness, however, it can be said that Kansas outplayed Missouri.

Moreover, the class of ' 39 well deserves the officers whom it has elected, for the class is proving itself outstanding. It boasts a strong, faithful football team and a basketball squad which is excep- tionally skilled. Its members are rapidly orienting themselves and are coming to the fore in a variety of activities. Teachers are commenting favorably upon the work of the class, oftentimes adding to their comments remarks which make upperclassmen understand why compari- sons are odious. The class has shown a remarkably sane and loyal attitude upon the matter of maintenance of school traditions. The older students offer heartiest congratulations to the new officers and best wishes to a most promis- ing and energetic class. TWO BOOK STORES 1401 Ohio 1237 Oread St. we deliver FOOTBALL (Continued from page 153) ing week and went down to defeat, 21 to 12. The Cyclones came to Lawrence seek- ing their first Big Six victory, and aided by a Kansas offense that failed to func- tion when within shouting distance of the goal, realized their fondest dreams. The best the lowans had been able to do thus far was tie Missouri 6-6 and to defeat little Upper Iowa, but they uncovered a series of tricky pass plays that befuddled the Jayhawkers and produced a last half drive that netted two touchdowns and the victory. Kansas scored shortly after the open- ing of the game when Peterson plunged over after a weak punt had given the Jayhawkers possession of the ball within scoring distance. A pass play that started in the form of an end run netted the lowans a touchdown soon afterward and Poole, Cyclone long distance kicker, matched McCall ' s point after touchdown to tie the count 7-all at the half. McCall kicked a goal from placement in the third quarter after a similar attempt by Iowa had failed, and Kansas went into a lead that appeared comparatively safe. But a real Cyclone appeared on the field and filled the air with forward passes that were completed in the midst of two or three Kansas players and Iowa State scored twice more to shove Kansas into a tie with Oklahoma for second place. If we were to attempt the thankless task of picking the season ' s outstanding players, thankless because there are so many who played their best every minute of their intercollegiate competition and cannot be omitted from any listing of great Kansas players, we would only list the men who were outstanding in the Missouri classic, for they were the men who bore the burden throughout the year. First we would rank Dick Sklar, who, although so tired he could hardly walk during the last quarter of the game, was in on every play that came anywhere near his vicinity, and could usually be found on the bottom of the pileup following the tackling of a ball-carrier, or shot through to nail the runner for a loss. Sklar was chosen as captain and guard of the Kansas City Star ' s All-Big Six team at the end of the season. John Peterson, Fred Harris, and George Hapgood, all playing their last year, bore the backfield burden through the entire season, and were picked as among the best of the Big Six backs, while in the line Tommy McCall and Ed Phelps, together with Sklar, caused enemy backs to steer shy of the center of the Kansas line, for it was as impreg- nable as the traditional stone wall. Bill Decker, out of several games because of injuries, was a spark plug in the backfield during the games in which he played, as were Douglass and Wienecke, sopho- mores, and Giannangelo. Dean Nesmith finished up in a blaze of glory with a standout performance in the Missouri game, and Rutherford B. Hayes, who called signals from his end position, began with the first game of the season, against Notre Dame, to finish his competition ranked among the best of the country ' s ends, and with more publicity might have received more serious con- sideration for Ail-American honors. He was chosen for many All-Kansas and All-Big Six teams, as were Peterson. Phelps, Nesmith and Hapgood. Seigle, Green, Morland, Ward, Vogel, Lurton, and Barcus were all valuable men during the season, and the majority of them will be back for another year of competition. As a majority of the stars of both line and backfield are lost this year by graduation, it is quite evident that Head Coach Ad Lindsey will have to start from the ground up in building his 1936 edi- tion of the Kansas gridiron machine. Sophomores will have to be depended upon for a large part to form the nucleus for the team, and Bill Hargiss, freshman coach, produced one of the best fresh- man teams in many years this fall, from which a dozen outstanding players will graduate to varsity competition next season. Advance dope points to an even greater aggregation of gridsters next year than the one which finished in third place in the Big Six this season, and 164 THE JAYHAWKER HOMECOMING (Continued from page 162) the no-score game the returning alumni did see a revival of the Kansas-Missouri enthusiasm which was not much in evi- dence last year at Missouri. After the game there was little to celebrate for either side; so Lawrence spent a very quiet evening, most of her visitors leav- ing for home immediately. The Missour- ians were a bit more cheerful after the game than the Kansans since they were conceded only a bare chance to win. The game was a clean, hard-fought contest with few injuries on either side, and with none of the so-called breaks favoring one team alone. The stu- dent body was dissatisfied with the out- come, however, and this fact should make the game at Missouri next year more interesting, since Kansas will be fighting with a vengeance to win. Homecoming is essentially a time set apart for the return of alumni, and because of the crowds of grads which did return to Lawrence on Thanksgiving Day, this year ' s Homecoming eclipsed in effect any such occasions of the ' past few years. Much of the success of this year ' s cele- bration was due to the work of the Homecoming committee which laid the plans for the festivities and directed the students in carrying them out. Viewed as a whole this year ' s Homecoming well fulfilled its purpose and the alumni who came to Lawrence will be anxious to return and again renew their contacts at the University. FOOTBALL (Continued from page 163) Lindsey ' s major problem, reserves, will probably be solved for him. If present information is borne out, he will have material aplenty, and fans are looking forward with a deal of confidence to possibilities of victories over Nebraska and Missouri, the two arch rivals, to satiate the Jayhawker ' s hunger for the placing of his well-clawed foot on the hindermost portion of those bugbears ' anatomies with discernible force. Kansas closed the season with a record of four wins, four losses, and one tie, slightly above the half-way mark, for a tie counts one-half game won, and tied for third place in Big Six standings with Oklahoma and Missouri. Again Nebraska is the king pin of the conference, but an inspired Jayhawk eleven very nearly took their measure when the alert Hayes scored a touchdown in the first minute of play, to take the lead in the standout game of the season, only to see the Cornhuskers edge out in the final accounting, 19 to 13. Since the great team of 1930 won the Bix Six title, the Lindseymen have not finished above fourth place, but they climbed a rung this year, came very near to undisputed possession of second posi- tion, and showed flashes of power that, had they been sustained, would have boded ill for all opponents, but, as in the Missouri game, the final spark was miss- ing at times, and losses that were unde- served, if the fight and aggressiveness were tabulated as material winning fac- tors, were chalked up against them. The Kansas student body has been favorably commented upon from all sides for their whole-hearted support of the football team in winning and losing, and undoubtedly has helped the team a great deal in realizing the most successful season in years. With the exception of the let- down in the Iowa-State game that was easily explainable, following as it did four extremely hard battles against Kansas State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colo- rado, the team ' s only losses were to teams above their class, Notre Dame and Michi- gan. Those two teams went on to gain the distinction of being among the country ' s strongest elevens, and their win- ning over Kansas was expected. The Jay- hawkers waged glorious battle against Nebraska, which has come to be regarded as also out of the Big Six class, and might have been victorious had it not been for a few tough breaks. With a likely-looking crop of freshmen coming up for next year ' s eleven to fill the shoes of the graduates, and the outstanding sopho- mores and juniors returning, Coach Ad Lindsey should be expected to mold an even stronger team for 1936.

KAY FRANCIS, supported by a tal- ented cast, comes to the Granada theatre Wednesday, in the First National production, I Found Stella Parish. The film is based on a powerful drama by John Monk Saunders. Miss Francis has the intensely emotional role of a woman who topples from the heights of success to the depths of despair. Fighting to hide a terrible page in her life in order to protect her six- year-old daughter from scandal, she is betrayed by the man she has come to love, and started her on the downward path in her profession. The battle of the young journalist, the man who had published the story of her life after having won her confidence, to bring back her success and make up for the injustice he had done her, leads to an astounding and intensely dramatic climax. Ian Hunter, the English stage and film star, has the role of the journalist, with Paul Lukas playing the part of the actress ' theatrical manager and suitor at the time she had attained the pinnacle of success. The clever child actress, Sybil Jason, is seen as Miss Francis daughter. Jessie Ralph has the role of the child ' s nurse and Barton MacLane is the blackmailing husband. Whipsaw is probably one of the fast- est moving pictures you ever saw. It moves like an express train from the opening sequence to the close. It pops surprise after surprise, and never lets down until the last sequence is ended. It is packed with adventure . . . with the unusual and unexpected . . . and its romance is the subtle sort of alluring, sophisticated romancing that Miss Loy has been identified with. The situation of two perfect strangers, posing as man and wife as they travel through state after state, gives it just that touch of racy comedy-romance that made them rave about It Happened One Night for many months. There is sock drama, too; a couple of good old-fashioned Tracy battles, and plenty of what it takes to make corking entertainment on the screen. 166 THE JAYHAWKER THE SLIPSTICK SCHOOL (Continued fr om page 158) One of the important things to be gained from college life is the ability to associate with other people. This is most true for professional men, and engineers are no exception to that fact. Aside from the usual means of meeting fellow students through the medium of the classroom and the University func- tions, there are various other ways in which the engineer may widen his circle of friends and acquaintances. One of the best mediums is the technical societies. Each branch of engineering has its own organization and most of these organiza- tions are student branches of national societies such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, or the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. These student branches, under the guidance of some leading member of the faculty, and through the aid of the national organiza- tions, conduct meetings of technical inter- est to their members. Frequently, engi- neers of recognition are speakers at these meetings and they give to the students some idea of what to expect after gradu- ation. The main function of these organi- zations, however, is to make the student better acquainted with others of his own department. Another medium is found in the engi- neering fraternities of which there are three, Kappa Eta Kappa, Triangle, and Theta Tau. Still another medium is through the honorary engineering fra- ternities of which there are two, Sigma Tau, and Tau Beta Pi. These fraternities take into membership engineering stu- dents of outstanding leadership and scholarship. One other phase of engineering life is student government. The students are governed by the Engineering Council, an organization very similar to the Men ' s Stu- dent Council. The Council is composed of three officers, a representative from each of the six branches of engineering and a repre- sentative from each of the four classes. The members are elected to office in the spring and serve an entire year. The Council sees that the many traditions of the engi- neering school are kept alive and that the school makes definite advancement in the promulgation of new ones. In addition to sponsoring the Hobnail Hop, the Field Day and Banquet, and the Engineering Exposition, the Council pro- vides a big mixer at the beginning of the year to introduce the Freshmen to the rest of the school. The Council handles the matter of senior insignia. After a multitude of insignias had been tried out and rejected, the Council last year decided upon the green sweatshirts which have been seen around the campus adorn- ing the backs of the senior engineers. The Council also conducts the Engineer- ing Book Exchange where the engineers can save money in the purchase and exchange of textbooks. These and various other functions are conducted by the Council under the able guidance of Presi- dent Frank Neal and Vice-President Bob Williams. The financial and secretarial duties are well carried on by Russell Young. It takes considerably more work than most people realize to carry on the business of the Council. There are a hun- dred and one time-consuming details to be attended to and much praise should be given to the members of the Engineering Council for their full-hearted co-operation in every undertaking. The Council has another duty in the running of the engineering publica- tion, the Kansas Engineer. The Council appoints the four major staff members of the Kansas Engineer staff and sets up a Governing Board consisting of three members of the major staff and three members of the Council. This board supervises the issuing of the magazine and the activities of the staff. The Kansas Engineer ranks second only to the Jay- hawker in circulation and goes to many engineering firms in the surrounding territory. The managing editor this year is Frank Neal, the general editor is John Miller, and the business editor is George Wright. These three men and the rest of the staff are to be commended for the splendid magazine they put out. Here you have seen something of how the engineer lives, works and plays. You have seen something of his outside activi- ties. Perhaps it may give you a better idea of the hard-working engineer and enable you to interpret him a little better in the future.

The problem was turned back to the Men ' s Student Coun- cil, which with characteristic efficiency referred it to a committee which has not been heard from since. The Freshman Council of the Y. M. C. A. volunteered to assume responsibility, but evidently their dulcet words lacked the persuasive force of the K men ' s paddles. At any rate they have failed to instill any rever- ence for tradition into the freshmen, for a mere smattering of freshman caps were to be seen on the campus after the shakeup. So we see another campus tradi- tion fall by the wayside, and yet everyone seems to be happy; the K Club, because the caps already being sold they got their cut of the sale price, the freshmen, because they are no longer a marked group, the Bolsheviks, because they have demonstrated the efficacy of agitation, and the rest of us because we can com- pare this modern degeneracy with the good old days. The Homecoming committee or some- one with ideas of how an advertising campaign should be managed, decided this year to take the election of a foot- ball queen out of the hands of the team and turn it over to the herd. Conse- quently when the body politic met in solemn convocation on the night before Thanksgiving to pray for tiger meat, each of the 1500 in attendance voted for his or her own choice. The committee, strange as it may seem to some, accom- plished the phenomenal task of counting the ballots in about twenty minutes and presented the queen to her loyal subjects. It ' s too bad that the M. S. C. committees cannot match this vote a second rate in counting, so that we wouldn ' t have to wait until three o ' clock in the morning to yell in the new Council president. The request for student comment in form of letters to the editor seems to have passed unnoticed. Although such letters are always welcome, we refuse to bring on a case of writer ' s cramp soliciting them. We hope that our efforts in pre- paring this issue of the Jayhawker meet with your approval.

WEDNESDAY 18 TheWSGA seems to think we wish to be early birds They by FATHER TIME favor the inauguration of 8 o ' clock classes for the Herd next fall. My, how fortunate that we are due to graduate we hope. FRIDAY 20 Most of the Herd started for home today with a few remaining to attend the Phi Delt, Phi Psi, Beta (and what not) parties. JANUARY TUESDAY 7 Prof. W. W. Davis, re- turning from a leave of absence, is ap- pointed the head of the department of history to succeed Dr. Hodder. In the first Big Six game of the season, the Jay- hawkers trounced the Wildcats from Kansas State to the score of 28-17 to set them on the way to the Big Six Basket- ball Championship we sincerely hope so anyway. WEDNESDAY 8 It seems we had an- other meeting of the whole school last night again when the fire whistle blew about 9 o ' clock. This time they were in earnest for we had a little blaze in the basement of the Ad building however, there was quite a good deal of smoke and lots of fun was had by all. FRIDAY 10 This is the night of nights for all the Sophomores as they threw their party for the dear old Uni- versity with Buddy Fisher and his orches- tra quite a fine party with a band direct from the Grill in Kansas City.

A record of events and personalities, and a revieu ' of campus trends and opinions. JOHN E. CHANDLER Ednor-in-Chiei ROBERT E. KENYON Business Manager HAVING safely passed through the valley of the shadow of finals and having avoided any permanent scars in the process, the Jayhawker finds the post- , SKATING ON POTTER ' S examination lull an excellent time to make its periodical visit to the campus a campus which at present is too worn out from intensive cultivation of the various fields of knowledge to really make the most effective use of its new, even if temporary, lease on life. Although the process of getting an edu- cation is probably less strenuous at pres- ent than it will be at any future time in the semester there has been noticeable slowing down of the pulse of student life. At this point it may be in order for us to take our pen in hand and add an ineffectual but sincere bit to the indict- ment of the system of pedagogy which had the entire student body worked into .such a lather but a few brief weeks ago. Of course there were the select few who could plainly foresee the bitter end of a semester well spent in other pursuits than academic ones, and the few satchel carriers at the other end of the curve who had the faculty fairly well fooled, but most of us were more than slightly con- cerned over the outcome of the final exams. A goodly portion of the student body temporarily ceased burning the candle at both ends and turned to the midnight oil for light. We may ask if the final examination system is fair, if it accomplished any worthwhile pedagogical end, if it tends to a thorough mastery of the subject by the student, to little avail. Certainly it must be a confirmed disciple of the old school who will maintain that there is any mastery of the subject by cramming the night before the quiz. Certainly no fair-minded person will advocate judg- ing the student ' s knowledge of a semes- ter ' s study in a subject by what trick question he can answer in a brief hour or so. Certainly it is difficult to justify a system which implies sapping the stu- dent ' s vitality and forcing him to face a crisis in poor physical condition and which fosters dishonesty and cribbing. But enough of this; the status quo is as firmly established and as inflexible as the laws of the Medes and the Persians. With real pleasure the Jayhawker notes the satisfactory solution of the midweek controversy. The Wednesday night varsities are a tradition which the school can scarce afford to let follow the freshman caps and the nightshirt parade. Just how the bands and the Union got together isn ' t very clear. Perhaps the musicians resorted to gangster tactics and put Bill Cochrane on the spot, but at any rate the music is going round and round again, and all concerned seem to be happy. King Winter has paid the campus a real mother-in-law visit, moving in with the new year, and at the time of this writing, has shown no inclination to leave. The result has been a considerable amount of bobsledding, skating, snow- balling and the like. The slipperyness of the walks and streets has caused the body politic a good deal of grief with its cars and even more with skinned knees and bruises on various parts of its anatomy. These long winter evenings when Joe College and his girl friend find it a bit too cold to step out. and have stayed by the fireside, should furnish candy and cigars to some of the houses this spring. Chancellor Lindley was honored re- cently by a banquet and convocation marking his fifteenth year as head of the institution. We appreciate his splendid service here and the advances made under his guidance, but the really phenomenal thing about it is his being able to bear up under the strain of life at the U for so long a time. (Continued on page 242) rmiMirn TOT imu mi THE JAYHAWKER Bits from the news by MARGARET ANN BOAST MODERN MARRIAGES ARE . . . Say, did you ever notice bow interesting headlines are and how easily you can remember what the whole article is about by just a catchword ? Remember, Modern Marriage Is Discussed at Forum Meeting that was on Tuesday evening, Dec. 3, just after we got back from Thanksgiving vacation. V. F. Calverton spoke; he ' s the noted editor of the Modern Monthly Magazine and an internationally known anthropologist. He surely drew a crowd with that topic. Tuberculosis Seal Campaign Begins Here This Week started the students on a campaign which resulted in a total of $189.05. The men sort of lagged behind in that but it all ended well. Some of the money was used for tuberculosis tests here at our hospital. Ignaz Friedman Plays Brilliantly to Large Crowd appeared Dec. 5, the evening following the concert at which about 2,000 music lovers of the University sat completely enthralled throughout the entire performance. Friedman ' s per- formance certainly was full of brilliance and fine technique. Here ' s one, Campus Traditions To Be Interpreted By New Committee. Remember that was an attempt by the Unive r- sity traditions committee to standardize customs and formulate a definite program. Has anyone ever seen that program? Friday night, Dec. 6, Noted Band Is Featured; Tom Gentry and His Ambassadors Will Play for Freshman Frolic that was the first 9 to 1 o ' clock dance of the year. The place was jammed and everyone had a swell time. Dec. 6 announced National Student Group to Meet Here New Year ' s. The National Student Federation of America made plans to meet in Kansas City and Lawrence during the Christmas holidays. Kansas Smothers Washburn. 35-18, in Season Opener that was the first home game where Noble stood out in offensive play. The Jayhawkers certainly jumped into an early lead and never were headed by the Ichabods that evening. Here ' s one about the play Ten Minute Alibi ' Opens for Four-Day Run in Fraser. The Dramatic Club played before a packed house every night. Then the Kaasjn started a cam- paign against the library steps. Remember these headlines. All Are Imperiled By Wooden Steps: Library Scaffold Found Responsible for Many Falls. They even had a little dog fall down the steps to carry their campaign along. Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed spoke on the Four Hundred Years of The English Bible at an all-University religious convocation, Dec. 10. The Ministerial Alliance was meeting at the University at that time, and through their efforts Dr. Goodspeed came to Lawrence. That evening the University Band under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, gave their first concert of the year in the auditorium. Then on Dec. 13, Jayhawker Cagers Win Over Braves With 53-22 Score. The Jayhawkers overwhelmed the Ottawa University Braves that night in a very lopsided contest. That was the night the Kansas team started scoring the first minute of play and never stopped. Rose Bowl Trips Given to Burgert and Agnes Skolout appeared Dec. 15. The theater was jammed that night Friday, the 13th and the crowd overflowed far out into the street well, who wouldn ' t go when they had a chance of winning a free ticket to California and the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena New Year ' s Day? The Jayhawker Magazine and the Granada theater did all of that, remember? Yuletide Vespers To Be Presented This Afternoon also appeared Sunday, Dec. 15. The seats were filled and the 178 THE JAYHAWKER overflow crowd stood and sat on the aisle steps, but the tableaux were magnificent no matter where you stood or sat. Then here ' s Dec. 17, Jayhawkers Win Hard Fought Game From Baker, 34-32. With three minutes to play the Jay- hawkers trailed Baker a large score. It was a grand sight to see Kansas speed into it and bring that score up. Midweek Dances Will Be Continued With Recordings also appeared in the paper on Dec. 17. The students gave up hope for a real orchestra while the Union Operating Committee and the Hill orchestras fought some more. State Architect Plans Completion of Library Steps. The Kansan received a letter from the state architect Dec. 18 and with it a promise of new steps next summer. I guess the campaign did some good after all. That ' s the last of the headlines before vacation. Everyone certainly cleared out of town that day they went some place; if not home, then to someone else ' s home. The main object seemed to be to get out. Then after two weeks and a few days they all hurried back again. University Holds Memorial Services for Dr. Frank Hey- wood Hodder was seen in the Kansan Jan. 7, the first paper after Christmas vacation. Dr. Hodder died of pneumonia during the holiday season. W. W. Davis succeeded Hodder as head of the history department. Davis has been on leave of absence but returned to take over the work. Kansas Trips Wildcats in Thrilling Game, 28-17 the Kansas Jayhawkers ' began their conquest of the Big Six championship that night. Trailing behind at the half, 9-7, the Jayhawkers found the range in the second period and bombarded the basket for 21 points. The team played in the role of men of iron again, the starting five playing the entire time. The morning of the 8th of January had probably the most popular headline of the season. Not that the students practically thrilled at seeing Senate Announces Final Examination Dates at Meeting, but they did have to see the dates right away to see if they had two examinations on any one day and how soon they would get through so they could get out of town. Men ' s Glee Club Prepares Program for Annual Tour remember how the rrfen started working on those negro spirituals, skits and other songs for their tour of northern Kansas towns and cities? They finally got away on Feb. 3 for five days on the road to show people what K. U. could do, if they had to. Then remember the heading Fire in Ad. Building; Spon- taneous Combustion Believed Cause. That was the morning of Jan. 9, when the Kansan announced the new Kansan Fire Reporter as On the Shin Woods. The whistle surely picked a cold night to blow. Underclassmen Leaders Ask More Voice in M. S. C. the poor little freshmen and sophomores thought they had been a long enough time without a vote on that council, but so far all they have gotten for their efforts is publicity. Combined Concert Attended by Large Crowd Last Night. The University Symphony and Tau Sigma presented their annual program in auditorium. The little sprites of the Hill danced to Grieg ' s Peer Gynt Suite in beautiful form. In the last piece they darted in and out of such a background of grotesque shadows that they looked mysterious themselves. Sophomore Hop Presented to Crowd of Six Hundred Buddy Fisher and his Hollywood orchestra played a swell dance on Jan. 10 with Virginia Van Dyche, his newly discov- ered singing sensation who sang Fisher ' s own special arrange- ments of the hit tunes of the day. Then, Kansas Gives Cyclones Sound Beating surely made the students think more than ever before of the Jayhawkers ' possibilities in the Big Six. They took their place in the realm of the undefeated by beating the Iowa State Cyclones, 38-17 on Jan. 11. Morrow Discusses Present Day Press in Forum Speech. In a speech embellished with salty quips and gentle nuances of meaning, Marco Morrow, the assistant publisher of Capper Publications entertained a crowd at the student forum meeting. He also warned them of impending friction in the economic machine. Big heads stared out of the Kansan on Jan. 15 when Dance Band to Replace Mid- Week Canned Music appeared. Some way or other, maybe by a miracle, the Musicians Union and the Union Operating Committee reached an agreement so that the second semester midweeks could have an orchestra. They agreed to have an orchestra of three men from Kuhn ' s, Blackburn ' s and Wright ' s bands play for three weeks and then Anderson ' s on the fourth Wednesday. Sure was a fight while it lasted but at least there will be no more canned music, we hope. The women met on the 14th of January and the next morning came the announcement, W. S. G. A. to Hold Carnival in Spring Instead of Revue. Can ' t you just imagine everyone in Robinson gymnasium going from booth to booth and watching the K-club put on a burlesque show (that should be good, can ' t you just see the graceful little boys) ? The boys will twirl their girls around to the tune of five cents a dance that night. Kansas Defeats Missouri 29-25 to Break Old Jinx at Missouri. The Jayhawkers continued their winning streak on THE CHANCELLOR GREETS NSFA DELEGATES COLD WEATHER SPORT, INSIDE FEBRUARY, 1936 the evening of Jan. 15. It was their third straight conference victory for the Jayhawkers and the tenth victory so far in the season was everybody happy? Kansas Students to Spend Week End Relaxing, Studying had more truth in it than fiction. Finals started the next Thursday and some students took advantage of the week end to study. But every show house in town was crowded and Saturday night found a large number dancing at the Varsity in the Union building. A couple of fraternities had parties. Sunday ' s papers of Jan. 19 just couldn ' t forget finals as it said Cramming Sends Book Circulation to All-Time High. That week ' end books really passed hands quickly when 9,701 volumes were checked out. Of course, they might not have been read but the student relieved his conscience by just look- ing at it at least. Maybe Many Students Apply for Few CSEP Positions and the sub-head Grade Averages Determine Those to Continue on Payroll had something to do with the increased interest in books in the library. Three Are Chosen for Debate Tour to Pacific Coast on the s ame morning told everyone how Field, Zupanec, and Phillips would represent Kansas before Western Schools. They took to Oklahoma, California and many other Universities the prize debaters of I ' m a Jay-Jay-Jayhawk . . . The Jayhawkers came up from a lagging score to Kansas Routs Nebraska 45-23, After Late Start, when they met Nebraska on the evening of Jan. 20 on the Kansas court. Everyone sat on the edge of their seats when Kansas made up her mind to fight and really did. and made it one of the most exciting games in years. Trudi Schoop Amazes, Then Charms Audience on the evening of Jan. 22. With only one day of classes before final examinations the students packed the auditorium to watch this amazing girl and her players clearly dramatize scenes in their dances. Hell Freezing Over Has Nothing on Oread ' s Old Time Blizzard was the announcement on Jan. 23 after the Kansan received a special bulletin by United Press that Hell, a small town, near Ann Arbor froze over the night before. Mt. Oread was about as cold as all that, and students shivered as they made their way to their first final. Percentage of Men at This University Increases Steadily made the women students wonder why all the stags at the midweeks didn ' t quit rushing to make quota and take dates for a change. Coffee and Quiz Files Play Large Part in Students ' Lives This Time of Year explained fully what students did during the week Jan. 23 to Jan. 30. The post office had a rush sale on penny postcards, which were left with the final exam papers so the)- might learn their grades earlier. The three debaters left, Kansas Debaters to Leave Today on Trek to Coast. on the morning of Jan. 29. The Glee KING WINTER VISITS THE CAMPUS Club Men to Practice announced that the glee club would remain in Lawrence between semesters to practice for their tour which they left for on Feb. 3. By this time everyone except those having two hour classes at 2:30 or 3:30 and 4:30 were through finals for sixteen more weeks. The town was pretty deserted by Wednesday Memorial Union Closes After Ball this meant little to most students as few remained, but those who did stay enjoyed the President ' s Birthday Ball. The Union had planned another dance the Monday night of enrollment but due to many students not returning by that time they had a real get together on Saturday, Feb. 8. On Feb. 3 and 4 students walked the square and suc- ceeded in getting themselves more or less into classes they wanted. And then, Back to School Again on Wednesday found students starting a new semester with resolutions to keep lessons up to date and never again to have to drink so much coffee for that cramming which had to be done to pass the course the previous semester. Lindleys Are Honored : Celebration Commemorates Chan- cellor ' s 15 Years of Service appeared Feb. 1 2. the day follow- ing an all-University celebration in honor of Chancellor and Mrs. Lindley. Dr. Lotus D. Coffman spoke at the convocation in the morning. That evening a dinner was given for them at which Dean Paul B. Lawson presided. Students heard with ad- miration stories of their Chancellor, who has taken such an active part in University affairs and in his securing aid for stu- dents through the CSEP jobs. February 15, the night of the K. U.-K. State game was ob- served as Naismith Night in Lawrence when Dr. Naismith Is Honored; Inventor of Basketball Is Honored in National Cele- bration appeared. Between halves in the game a special pro- gram was broadcast by station WREN in honor of the doctor. 180 THE JAYHAWKER Board of Regents The head of the state board of control speaks for his colleagues by C. M. HARGER KANSAS has had several forms of control for its educational institu- tions. For the first half century of the State ' s history, three Boards of Regents governed the schools one each for the University, the State Agricultural Col- lege, and the normal schools. Naturally this resulted in a friendly rivalry as to appropriations and tended to undue extension of the curricula. Later the names of four of the schools were changed. Two of the normal schools became the State Teachers Colleges of Emporia and Pittsburg, the Agricultural College became the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science, the school at Hays became the Ft. Hays Kansas State College. C. M. HARGER The present chairman of the Board of Regents. Mr. Charles M. Harder, has been a member of the Board ever since the present system of governing the state schools u ' as installed in 1925. He is one of the foremost educators and journal- ists of the state, having served as a direc- tor and lecturer in the department of journalism at this University and later as principal of the schools in Hope. Kansas. At present, in addition to man- aging the Abilene Reflector, Mr. Harger makes contributions to several of the country ' s outstanding magazines In 1915 there was a reorganization of control of state institutions, the penal under one board, the charitable under another and the educational under a third the Board of Administration, of three full time members. After a trial of four years another change placed all the DREW MCLAUGHLIN Mr. Drew McLaughlin, prominent Kansas journalist, has worked on numerous news- papers throughout the state and served in the capacity of president of the Kansas Press Association. He is now located in Paola and owns the Miami Republican. Always an enthusiastic folloiver, Mr. McLaughlin is one of the most active supporters of the Kansas University athletic teams State institutions under a Board of Administration of three members with the g overnor who was chairman ex-officio. This was a move in the interest of OSCAR STAUFFER Air. Oscar Stauffer, member of the Board of Regents from Arkansas City, is pub- lisher of the Arkansas City Traveler and five other papers in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri. As president of the Kansas Associated Press Editorial Association, Mr. Stauffer is recognized as one of the outstanding newspapermen in Kansas economy, several thousand dollars of salaries and expenses of board members being eliminated. But the placing of twenty-nine institutions educational, penal, charitable under one small board made the duties so onerous that insuffi- cient time could be given to the State schools to secure the best educational results, and in 1925 a demand arose for a complete separation of the State educa- tional institutions from other State activities. BALIE WAGGENER Mr. BaliePayton Waggener was appointed to the Board of Regents in 1932 by Governor Woodring. He has served in the Kansas House of Representatives for two terms and been quite active in Democratic circles in the state. In 1928 he was president of the Washington Day Banquet Club. At present he is practicing law in Atchison and holds the position as counsel for the Missouri Pacific Railroad in that city The legislature of 1925, on recom- mendation of Governor Paulen, enacted a law divorcing the educational institu- tions from control of the Board of Administration and placing them under a Board of Regents of nine members to serve without salary but to be paid traveling and other expenses while on official business. Their terms were to be four years. It was provided that the State Business Manager should be business manager for the Board and that said Board of Regents shall have full power to appoint executive heads of the institu- tions under its jurisdiction with power to remove said executive heads, deans, pro- FEBRUARY, 1936 181 DUDLEY DOOLITTLE Mr. Dudley Doolitlle, a man of national and international fame, was Congress- man from Kansas from 1912 to 1919 and a special representative in 1919 of the United States Treasury to Italy, where he was called upon to help settle a dispute between the two countries. Another contribution of significance was his introduction to Congress of the Farm Credit Plan. A former member of the Board of Trustees of the College of Emporia. Mr. Doolittle finds time to serve on the Board of Regents despite his busy schedule of business affairs fessors, teachers or other employees at the discretion of the Boards. The first appointees were W. Y. Morgan, Hutchinson, who was elected chairman and served in that capacity until his death in 1930; C M. Harger, Abi- lene; George H. Hodges, Olathe; C. B. LESTER McCOY Mr. Lester McCoy, recently appointed member to the Board of Regents, was born in Iowa in 1889. Moving to Kansas, be attended grade and high school at Cheney. He also attended a Wichita business college. In 1912 he moved to Garden City where he now owns a motor car agency. Afr. McCoy is a veteran of the World War and an active American Legion Worker Merriam, Topeka; W. J. Tod, Maple Hill; Mrs. J. C Patrick, Satanta; C. W. Spencer, Sedan; B. C. Culp, Beloit; and Earl W. Evans, Wichita. Death, resigna- tions, and expiration of terms have so changed the Board that only one mem- ber originally appointed remains a member. The present board is: C. M. Harger, who has been chairman since 1930; Dudley Doolittle, Strong City; W. D. Ferguson, Colby; F. M. Harris, Ottawa; Lester McCoy, Garden City; Drew Mclaughlin, Paola; Ralph T. O ' Neil, Topeka ; Oscar S. Stauffer, Arkansas City ; B. P. Waggener, Atchison. RALPH T. OTfEHI. Now a prominent Topeka lawyer. Mr. Ralph T. O ' Neill has been a member of the Board of Regents since 1931. In the World War. he served as captain of infantry and was cited for gallantry in action. Since the war he has been attire in America}! Legion, national citizens military training camps committee, and national defense committee work the climax being his election to the position of National Commander of the Legion in 1931 The governors have followed the wise rule not to appoint any member from a county in which is located a state school. This avoids any partisanship and the members can view the state educational system without prejudice. The Board meets an average of ten times a year some years, such as the present when building projects are on hand, oftener. Its duties include fixing the policies of the schools, the establish- ment of fees, approving faculty changes and such expenses as are not provided for by statute. It also fixes the budget for the year and submits a budget and a report of its activities to the legislature. Every change in the faculties or the employees something like 1,000 per- sons must be approved by the Board. FRED M. HARRIS Air. Fred M. Harris. Sr.. prominent Ottawa lawyer, is one of the outstanding alumni of the University. A past presi- dent of the K. U. Alumni Association, he continues to show a genuine interest in anything pertaining to his Alma Mater. Mr. Harris served in the state senate from 1930 until 1934 and is still very of tire in political affairs of the state Its members visit the schools on occa- sion, are present at commencements and opening convocations, and endeavor to keep in touch with the progress of each institution. It has worked toward elimina- tion of duplications in curricula so far as practicable and made a survey of the schools recently with that in view. Many states have single boards for all their schools and the plan seems to be W. D. FERGUSON One of the more recent additions to the Board of Regents is Mr. W. D. Fergu- son. Among his accomplishments may be noted several important banking offices, one of which is former vice- president of the Kansas American Bank- ers Association. Long a strong supporter of Governor London. Mr. Ferguson originated the London for President movement in 1934 (Continued on pige 240 184 THE JAYHAWKER by JAMES PORTER FOR Agnes Skolout and Lloyd Bur- gert, Friday the thirteenth holds no fear. In fact, after this they probably will be anxious and eager for it to come around, for it was on such an unlucky day in December of 1935 that one of the most lucky moments in their lives happened. Now usually the numbers 9811 and 25120 have little significance unless they mean dollars or good telephone numbers. To Miss Skolout and Mr. Burgert, how- ever, these numbers meant a Christmas vacation in sunny, southern California, away from the Kansas snow and cold, for it was these numbers that were called by S. E. Schwahn, manager of the Granada theatre, to win the trip to Cali- fornia sponsored by Jayhawk advertisers. Blonde Miss Skolout, and dark Mr. Burgert, have no set formula on How I Win Contests, but modestly say it was luck. Luck is Bright, agrees obese Mr. Guernsey, who had almost five hundred tickets in the contest box. The lady of our story held about fifty tickets the gentleman, sixty-five. The odyssey began for Mr. Burgert in Lawrence at 1 o ' clock Sunday morn- ing, December 29, when he sleepily clambered aboard a hotel on wheels, the Santa Fe Trails System Nite Coach. In Garden City, Miss Skolout boarded the large coach after a trip by smaller bus from a place she called Beardsley where she says people live. Again quoting Miss Skolout: You certainly are dumb. (That to me!) Everyone knows where Beardsley is. It ' s in the northwest part of Kansas. I answered, Oh. So from Garden City with our hero and heroine safely together, the bus roared through Colorado, veered down into New Mexico and Albuquerque, then headed straight west through arid Ari- zona and the California desert into Los Angeles at 9:30 o ' clock Tuesday morn- ing the whole trip from Lawrence tak- ing less than fifty-seven hours. While Burgert and Skolout did not have the same type of adventure as Gable and Colbert did in It Happened One Night, on the bus, they nevertheless had a most enjoyable time during the two days it took to get there. Outstand- ing factor of bus travel, they believe, is the feeling of congeniality that permeates among the passengers. It ' s so different from a train in this respect, they both remark. Scenery is mo re beautiful along the highways than the railbeds, they also discovered. Making arrangements at Hotel Cecil in Los Angeles, the couple went to San Diego to spend New Year ' s Eve. At Long Beach on their way to San Diego, they both had their first glimpse of the glistening waters of the lambent Pacific Ocean. Shortly after arriving in the naval city in the afternoon, Lloyd met a friend of his he had known in Lawrence, George Johnstone, now in the navy. He showed the University students his ship, the U.S.S. Milwaukee, and explained naval life to them. New Year ' s Eve in California is about the same as in any other place with the exception, of course, of bone dry Kansas the couple found out as they went night-clubing in San Diego. Miss Skolout learned how to navigate a new dance that night, the Shanghai Crawl, though she refused to demon- strate this latest creation of the dance to this scribbler for proof of her statement. With a hangover from loss of sleep and nothing else Miss Skolout and Mr. Burgert started New Year ' s Day by going to Pasadena for the forty-seventh Tourna- ment of Roses parade. At 10:30, Buck Jones appeared on his white charger leading the pageant. Three hours later, the parade ended and Miss Skolout and Mr. Burgert hobbled over to the Rose Bowl with eighty-five thousand others to see Stanford down Southern Methodist University, 7-0. The third day in the California adven- tures of Agnes and Lloyd, finds the pair blinking at the stars on the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer lot in Culver City. There they saw Chester Morris at work on The Three Godfathers set, and were enter- tained by him. There they ate dinner in the company of Nelson Eddy, Jackie Cooper, Basil Rathbone, Clarence Brown, Richard Boleslawski, and Joseph Calleia. (Continued on page 232 ) THE WINNERS! FEBRUARY, 1936 185 METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER STUDIO GRAUMAN ' S CHINESE THEATER ABOARD THE U.S.S. MILWAUKEE THE ROSE BOWL CLASSIC CHESTER MORRIS PLAYS HOST 186 THE JAYHAWKER The lords of creation The sophomores bear up well under the weight of their responsibilities to society by HOWARD GILPIN UPON entering the orchards from which the fruits of knowledge are picked (University to most of us), the sophomore class took a decisive stand in the matter of freshman caps and time- honored tradition. However, like so many well-intentioned movements, tradition and the caps were both ' thrown in the ash can this fall when the Men ' s Student Council decreed that it wasn ' t nice of those burly K men to paddle the poor freshmen just because they chose not to wear their caps. (It is a pathetic state of affairs when even the rules of tradition must be enforced. Why can ' t every col- lege man be a Beta and revel in tradition?) With the defeat of their issue, the present sophomore class was stripped of any laurels which it might have earned (laurels have been cheap for some time) in its first year of existence. Its members found or rather have been delegated by public opinion to one of the levels of the social strata. The boys who have maintained a fair batting average in the Pi Phi league are generally accepted as good Joes, while the girls that are on the Phi Gam black-list have turned out to be the best. However, the vast major- ity have continued to drift uncomplain- ingly with the masses, scorning those above and below them, and humbly accepting their lot as members of the herd. All the members of this class have acquired a peculiar appearance that has been typical of sophomores for years and years. It is an appearance that is most distinctive for its striking absence in any other class, and is, characteris- tically, a prominent feature of both dress and expression. The expression of an upperclassman is one which shows that the individual has suffered pains of the inflicted by the tortures of learning, even though it isn ' t a portrayal of any particu- lar intelligence; that of the freshman is one of blissful innocence and ignorance of all that is before him, around him, BARBARA HUMPHREY DOROTHY CALDWELL and behind him ; however, the expression of the sophomore is one resulting from the conflicting influences of having been a freshman and trying to become an up- perclassman an expression that fosters both sympathy and ridicule. True to their convictions as extremists, the sophs are the Sam Stadiums and the Betty Beavers of the campus. They are the girls of the six-inch heels, triple-sheer hose, and mascaraed eye-lashes; and the boys of the ankle-rubbing trousers, propeller length bow-ties, and yellow- stemmed pipes (Ph ' i Psis and Betas excluded, for to dress this way is an inheritant trait with them). Newly released from the restrictions of their freshman year, the sophomores are most concerned of all the upperclassmen in keeping the freshmen in their places for fear the first-year class will receive some concession that didn ' t come to them. Their class can boast of having as members both the most sophisticated and least restrained individuals in the stu- dent body. Their freshmen troubles are over and the valley of the shadow of the sheepskin is too far in the distance to bother them. It is an old adage that one can always tell a senior, and one can always tell a freshman, but one can never tell a sophomore a thing. In spite of their worldliness, many of the students who a short year ago tossed away their frosh caps have made a good start on an acade- mic career. Some have learned to inhale, and others are talented to the extent of boasting of their prowess as excessive consumers of alcohol. Many, who a year ago were wearing enameled badges which meant nothing but subjection and a target for some upperclassman ' s wicked swing, have been initiated into the mys- teries of their various orders. A few boys who carried the glories of their high school colors on their sweaters last year have already been nominated for K. U. ' s hall of athletic fame. Perhaps a few of the class are potential Phi Beta Kappas and a few more are destined to Kappa Beta Phi, but the majority will strike a less distinctive medium some- where in between. A large proportion of the class pro- fessed their rights in the democracy (?) JOHN NICHOLS JACK TOWNSHEND MARTIN WITHERS FEBRUARY, 1936 187 King of swing picks beauty queens Benny Goodman, rhythm ' s man of the hour, chooses the sophomore beauties by DOROTHY FRITZ TET ' S DANCE! J What does this mean to you? To millions of people in America it means Benny Goodman, the King of Swing. BENNY GOODMAN However, this time he is the King-Picker- Outer-of-A, because he is the judge of the Sophomore Beauty Queens. Yes, gals, you must have swing to be a Goodman Beauty Queen. A peek into the background of this maestro who is destined to reach the heights of his chosen field, reveals that at the age of nine he was amazing theatre audiences in his native city of Chicago with his mastery of the dynamic imitations of popular musical favorites of that day. After being heralded for his child- hood wizardry, Benny wisely gave up his music in preference to an education. Later he returned to the musician world by working as featured entertainer with a number of other orchestras. Then came the announcement of the auditions of the National Biscuit Com- pa ny. Benny had no thought of entering, but through his friends ' influence and persuasion, he organized a band at the last minute and entered the competition. He was one of one hundred and twenty-five band leaders who were given an audition, but he walked off with all honors in being selected to dispense his hot, swing tunes on the three-hour program. At the conclusion of his contract with the National Biscuit Company, Good- man went to New York City to fulfill an engagement at the Roosevelt Hotel. Here he obtained more fame, and his engage- ment was extended for a lengthy hold- over period. Following these engagements, he furnished a musical background for the stage production Free for All, which proved a tremendous success and was called upon to record some of the tunes which he had aided in popularizing. Some of the tunes which he recorded for Victor included Dixieland Band, Japanese Sandman, Always, and his distinctive closing theme, Goodbye. His unique presentation of these numbers sky-rocketed sales of Victor records so that his records have become some of the most popular current sellers. Goodman ' s phenomenal success has been due mainly to his own fineness as a master clarinetist, but he has gathered a group of excellent musicians around him. Those who have often won- dered who is in the rhythm section of the Goodman band, and who is in the brass section, will appreciate the following in- formation. The original swing band consists of the following ace-high musi- cians: (Continued on page 190) BENNY GOODMAN. HELEN WARD, AND THE BAND 190 THE JAYHAWKER MARGARET STOUGH CATHERINE DUNKEL KING OF SWING PICKS BEAUTY QUEENS (Continued from page 187 ) Jess Stacy pianist a man without a home. Born on a spot that was washed away by the overflow of the Mississippi River some years ago. Played his first piano on a river steamboat from Saint Louis to New Orleans. Harry Goodman bass and one of Benny ' s seven brothers, all of whom are musically inclined. But Benny avers that Harry has to keep up the good work to hold down his job. Harry Seeler trumpet. Inherited ability from Dad, who also blew a mean trumpet in his day. Studied law at the University of California, but Be ' nny ' s style lured him back into the fold. Ralph Muzzillo trumpet. His father, who wanted him to be a doctor, made the mistake of serenading Ralph to sleep by playing the guitar. When Ralph ' grew up he accompanied proud parent on the trumpet and has been blowing ever since. Nate Kazebier trumpet. Another of Benny ' s original out- fit. Nate ' s father played the piano and taught him to play the trumpet. Now Nate is giving saxaphone lessons, via corres- pondence, to his brother back here in Kansas. Red Ballard trombone. Another chip off the old block. Dad played the trumpet and wanted Red to be a lawyer. Joe Harris trombone. Constant source of worry for his leader. Joe has application in for pilot ' s license, but Benny would rather have him flying high on the trombone. Joe also sings a neat vocal. Hymie Shertzer sax, clarinet. His parents liked to hear good music, and so Hymie decided to satisfy them. Has done so with a vengeance. Accompanies Harris on his flights. Arthur Rollini sax, flute, clarinet. Brother had his own OLIVE PEARL HARE MARY ELLEN DEMOTTE DAISY HOFFMAN BERTHA WHITE SHIRLEY MILLER FEBRUARY, 1936 191 SALLY 10 DEMSEY orchestra for awhile, and young Art was not to be denied a place in the sun. Bill Depew sax and clarinet. May take time some day to look up possible relationship with famed Chauncey. Horned his way into Benny ' s organization after listening to one of his first broadcasts. Dick Clark sax, flute, clarinet. Scion of entertaining family. Grandfather was an actor. Mother, father, sisters and brothers had their own amateur symphony orchestra until Dick enlisted in the big time. Allan Reuss guitar. Started plunking about six years ago in Brooklyn. Someone told him to hire a hall. But Allan displayed better judgment he joined Goodman instead. Gene Krupa drums. Showman, drummer and gum-chewer de-luxe. Like Goodman, a Chicagoan. Intrigues audiences with his uncanny wielding of the sticks. The vocal section of the Goodman band is as swinging as the rest of the organization. Helen Ward, feminine vocalist, is a native of New York City and made her debut as a vocalist with Goodman ' s orchestra while the latter was head- lining the Let ' s Dance program. Miss Ward, w hose musical training was limited to a three- months ' period of study, seems to possess a natural charm and vocal personality that immediately fascinates her listeners as she swings into the lyrics of the distinctive rhythms of Good- man ' s band. Miss Ward could, if called upon, sit down at the piano and handle the keyboard arrangements of the tunes played by the orchestra. Goodbye, the original composition of Gorden Jenkin ' s and Benny Goodman ' s closing theme, was written especially for Benny and his type of band. This piece is considered Jenkin ' s best work, and Benny certainly plays it to its greatest advantage. This lovely, haunting tune has an exceptionally good lyric; however, I think it ' s better played than sung. The tune was first introduced by Bill Hogan, but it didn ' t fit his type of band it belongs to Benny. The Goodman band is just as entertaining to watch as they are to hear. Benny, of course, fronts the organization, baton in hand and clarinet on the piano within easy reach. Benny is very much at ease creating a nonchalant but friendly atmos- phere. He stands before the band beating out the rhythm and then quite casually he walks to the piano, picks up the trusty clarinet and hits off a fast lick. He returns the clarinet to the piano, picks up the baton and continues, with a huge grin. Jess Stacy, pianist, sits on his bench and seemingly doesn ' t pay attention to his popular leader. When the time comes for his lick he hits it off and returns to that unassuming air of his. Gene Krupa, the fanciest drummer ever, wields the meanest sticks and has a bag full of the most entertaining antics. When Gene gets started on one of those fast tunes, for which Benny is noted, he literally goes wild. When the band gets to tearing up some of the old tunes the public usually forget their dancing feet and gather around the platform to listen, completely fascinated. They are amused at the oneness with which the band works. They all seem to fit into the same groove and swing together. To show how Goodman has entered into all kinds of homes, let us take for an example a sorority house. At eleven o ' clock all books are laid aside and the radio is tuned to It ' s Benny Goodman time! All of the girls gather around to Ah and Oh at this universal and distinctive music. To miss Goodman is as bad as cutting class. Between broadcasts students pacify themselves with the latest recordings of this band. At present the percentage of Goodman records owned by most every sorority and fraternity house on the Hill is greater than that of any other group of musicians.

U. plays host to the national convention of the N. S. F. A. by DEAN MOORHEAD ELEVEN years ago representatives of two hundred and forty-five leading colleges and universities, meeting at Princeton, formed an organization of American colleges and universities for GUHNAH MYKLAKD the purpose of achieving a spirit of co-operation among the students of the United States. During the years since its inception, this organization, known as the National Student Federation of America, has steadily labored to develop an intelli- gent student opinion on questions of national and international importance, to give consideration to questions affecting students ' interests, and to foster under- standing among the students of the world in the furtherance of enduring peace. In connection with these aims, the organiza- tion has conducted a series of surveys providing statistical information on stu- dent problems; it has maintained a bureau of persons qualified to speak on questions relating to students ' interests; it has promoted international debating, sponsoring the Oxford and Cambridge teams which have recently visited our campus; it has been an influential factor in the establishment of the National Youth Administration; and as an affili- ate of the International Student Sen-ice it has represented American students in world affairs through the Confederation International des Etudiants. Recently it has performed a valuable national service by assisting in the establishment of the National Institution of Public Affairs in Washington. Yearly the Federation holds a congress of the outstanding leaders in its member schools for the purpose of studying national college and public issues, and to outline NSFA policy. From December 27th to 31st of the current school year, it was the privilege of the University of Kansas to be host to the Eleventh Annual Congress of the Federation. The Con- gress, held in Kansas City in order to insure adequate hotel accommodations for the delegates, was under the direction of Gunnar Mykland. a member of the national executive committee of the Federation. The theme of this year ' s congress was Youth and the Changing World, and the predominating question for dis- cussion was What is the student ' s place in the university today? To consider this and other questions, over one hundred and seventy student leaders, representing colleges from coast to coast, assembled in Kansas City. The five days of the congress were largely occupied with consideration of problems especially pertinent to collegi- ate and to national life. A variety of addresses were given by outstanding per- sons in world affairs. After these lec- tures, the material presented was thrown open to question and to discussion. In addition, over a score of group discus- sions were conducted by a staff of quali- fied leaders. John W. Studebaker, U. S. Commis- sioner of Education, and Aubrey Wil- liams. Director of the National Youth Administration, spoke on questions rela- tive to student life in America, while Dr. Gustav Kullman, of the Secretariat of the League of Nations, and Madame Agnes MacPhail, member of the Canadian Parliament, broadened the field of dis- cussion to include noteworthy actions of young people throughout the world. Pro- fessor John Ise, of the K. U. faculty, and Mr. Thorton Cooke, president of the Columbia National Bank, discussed recent social and political trends, as did Ex- Senator Henry J. Allen, recently returned from a trip to Italy which had included a long interview with Mussolini. It was in the discussion groups that student opinion in America, as expressed by the delegates, made itself audible. The groups considered many topics: some, such as campus forums, fraternities and sororities, student government, and college publications, connected directly with campus interests; while others, such as compulsory military training, housing, subsidization of athletes, and American foreign policy, had more of a national scope. The students in their deliberations voted almost unanimously in favor of government ownership and operation of public utilities; they approved American participation in the 1936 Olympic games: and expressed themselves in favor of social security legislation. After spirited debating, the groups voted against com- pulsory military training and against the subsidization of athletes. Apart from the discussions, the con- gress held several banquets, an informal dance, and a formal ball. In addition, the delegates were brought to ' Continued on page 234 THE DELEGATES DIKE IN THE CAFETERIA THE JAYHAWKER The pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher, and shuts up the mouths of the foolish ... it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent, and unaffected. Thackeray AMONG the treasures of good liter- ature we find many pieces which contain odd and amusing subjects. I propose to dwell a short, time discoursing upon the arts and pleasures of pipe smoking. Before you stop reading, I wish to remind you that the Sartor Resartus. a fine work with a misleading subject, is held up as a masterpiece of composition. You may be depriving your- self of a pleasurable moment by judging this work too hastily on the basis of its apparent theme. The inherent psychological difference of men compared with women causes them to evaluate objects from an entirely different point of view. The treasured china set of a girl ' s hope chest is the object of great amusement to the man, while the girl sees the highly prized pipe collection of a man as a silly annoy- ance which serves to clutter and perfume the house. Whenever a mutual under- standing is reached by a man and a woman they are ready for the altar. It might be to the girl ' s advantage in this case to attempt to gain an insight into one of the pet hobbies of many real men, that of pipe smoking. The man who treasures his pipes not only for their beauty and number but also for their flavor and fragrance, finds in them true friends and a source of much satisfaction. We have at this university many recruits among the men students into the brotherhood of true pipe smokers, and some have even reached the very advanced degree of connoisseur. Any glimpse into life at the U shows the K AUFM ANN BROS. BONDY ascendancy of pipe smoking. With the men students a very common scene is that of a student in the solitude of his room, book in one hand and pipe in the other. Wherever seen these men always seem happy and contented although they may have a host of worries. It seems to be a prime human tendency to seek relaxation and to appropriate every possible opportunity for enjoyment. This quest of relaxation and by VERNON VOORHEES enjoyment is a reality when troubles are momentarily forgotten in the fragrant wifts of a friendly pipe. When a feller needs a friend, what could be more reassuring than a good bruyer and a short horn of his favorite mixture. Speaking of favorite mixtures, I pause reverently and admonish every true aspirant to be very particular in his choice of pipe tobacco. Every man has his favorite blend, according to his individual taste, but sometimes even your taste must be educated. Many times I have very unwillingly exposed my deli- cate nostrils to odors said to have been coming from tobacco in the process of being smoked. I would have bet a pretty penny, however, that it was pulverized buffalo chips in the process of decom- position by fire. The best tobacco is of no avail in a poor pipe and a good pipe ill kept is the bane of mankind. We have learned much from the English in the art of pipe appreciation and at the present time many of our best grades are of English make. The Dunhill is known far and wide as a pipe of great fragrance and extreme mildness, and the Sasieni is second to none. The former sells at ten dollars, and the latter at eight fifty. The Royal Stuart is a popular London-made pipe of the Sasieni line and more reasonably priced. France and Italy are also pro- ducers of fine pipes, while most of our best briar roots come from the plateaus of Greece and Algeria. In this country there is a great place in the heart of every pipe smoker for the Drinkless Kaywoodie, a product of one of our oldest and largest manu- facturers. KAUFMANN BROS. 4 BONDY FEBRUARY, 1936 197 Many varieties of wood, corn cobs, clay, porcelain, bone, walnut shells, metals and manufactured or moulded material have been used for pipes, but it is generally recognized today that there is no material so perfectly adapted for use in smoking pipes as briar. It matters not how much you pay for your pipe; if you do not properly break it in and care for it, you may expect no returns in smoking satisfaction. The stem and shank must be kept clean and dry by the frequent use of pipe cleaners. The bowl must be allowed to cool and dry after each smoke, necessitating several pipes for best results, and at no time should the bowl become so hot as to burn the fingers. Breaking-in should be done slowly and carefully. The pipe should be smoked to the very bottom to insure complete caking. Otherwise, the cake will stop when the pipe goes out and is emptied. The uncaked bottom of the bowl becomes a moisture trap collecting the rancid juices and virtually ruining the pipe. As I am primarily interested in the philosophical aspect of pipe smoking, I will discontinue to discourse upon the technicalities of the art of burning tobacco in a bruyer. I believe the pipe to have a peculiar connotation of manliness found no more strongly in any other personal effect of a man. The popular introduction of the cigarette into feminine society has tended to pronounce strongly the pipe as a symbol of masculinity. It is no uncommon occurrence to hear a girl ejaculate, I simply love to see him smoke a pipe. As a rule, the pipe is much enjoyed and appreciated by the femininity, and they encourage its use by the object of their affections. The pipe has long been preeminent with men in all phases of society. I was much impressed on a recent occasion when I observed a man of moderate means reading the newspaper to his mate as he indulged in his after-dinner pipe- full. He was reading of the Nye (Senate) investigation of J. P. Morgan and his transactions at the time of the Great War. The article told of Morgan ' s seem- ing joviality and calmness as he puffed with an air of satisfaction at his large bowled bruyer. The man looked up and said warmly, That Morgan isn ' t such a bad fellow after all. This gives evidence of the understanding and sympathy aroused by a common appreciation of an object such as a pipe. Many of our famous men have been ardent pipe fanciers, and their pipes are most always mentioned when the men are spoken of. A cozy home, a loving mate and a good pipe what could be more bliss- ful ? The sooner we are able to appreciate such simple pleasures as the fundamental pattern of happiness, the easier and quicker it is going to be to find real and lasting contentment in our lives. This sentimental outburst may seem a bit soft to some; yet, I think it cannot be denied that our greatest enjoyment (Continued on pige 238) 198 THE JAYHAWKER Jayhawks head for big six title Kansas ' stellar cage squad undefeated in hot race for the conference crown by JAMES COLEMAN r ' S A long way to the sixth of March, insists the eminent Dr. F. C. Phog Allen, cagey Kansas basketball coach. At the present time the only groups that that fact appears to work hardship on are the other five members of the Big Six conference, for they are in all prob- ability anxious for the present season to run itself out, with normal results, i.e., with Kansas as usual at the top of the heap. Of course, it is common knowledge that the Jayhawkers were a bit short of the top last year, but that was not normal. Phog seems to be hard on the heels of Gloomy Gus Henderson, erstwhile football coach at Tulsa University, in the matter of making dolorous prognosti- cations concerning the chances of his athletic teams, but so far has had better luck. He is evidently not so good at the job for he has not been so nearly correct as the gloomy Tulsan, much to the satisfaction of everyone interested. In fact Henderson was entirely too good in his forecasts, for they were borne out a little too often and he is now in search of a job, while Dr. Allen ' s notorious failure to predict correctly leaves every- one happy, including himself. In spite of the differences of opinion between Phog and the general pub- lic, Kansas has yet to meet a team that can take its measure and is at present leading the title race with a perfect record of six victories, with the season half over. Of course, it is entirely pos- sible that the unforeseen may occur, as it did last year when the lowly Missouri- ans twice conquered the Jayhawks to send them to second place, but since that time the Allen men have not tasted defeat and have run up a string of 14 wins over some of the best college teams in the country. Their closest margin of vic- tory was over a surprisingly stubborn Baker University five, when they were forced to come from behind in the last few moments of play to eke out a 34-32 triumph, but their tight defense, to- gether with the sterling offensive play of the five iron men, Ebling, Allen, Noble, Pralle, and Kappelman, has proved too strong for the opposition in surprisingly convincing fashion. But it has been the work of the two death Rays, Ebling and Noble, that DR. F. C. ALLEN has accounted for the major portion of the Kansas scoring this season. However, it seems to us that the boys could be better dubbed the X-Rays, X standing for unknown, which is about as close as any sports prophet could come to predicting their play in any particular game. For instance, the two Rays scored nearly evenly in the opening games of the season, but in the Baker contest Noble garnered only one basket from the field and two free tosses, while Ebling was accounting for nine points. In two of the four Christmas holiday contests they scored nearly an equal number of points, but in the other two Noble was so busy taking care of the opposition that he seemed to forget about scoring, and again lagged behind his teammate. At other times Ebling seemed to lose his basket eye, or perhaps he had left it at home in a glass of water, but all in all the two sharpshooting vet- erans proved to be exceedingly sharp thorns in the side of enemy cagers, and have accounted between them for a majority of the Kansas victories. Only a junior, Noble will be one of the out- standing players in the Big Six this year, and next year should be even better. He is one of the best defensive men in the loop, and at his best offensively cannot be stopped. There is no need to dwell on the merits of Ebling, leading confer- ence scorer for two years, further than to say just that, for nearly all the adjec- tives possible to use have probably been employed in describing his play. And while we are in the act of com- menting on individual play, don ' t let us forget the remaining trio of iron men. Mitt Allen, son of the Kansas coach, Francis Kappelman, veteran of two seasons, and Ferdinand (Fred-to- you ) Pralle, sophomore long shot artist. Allen ' s ball-handling is of the best, and he can always be counted on for his share of the scoring, while Pralle and Kap are responsible for the low scor- ing produced by enemy teams. Pralle bids fair to become one of the confer- ence ' s best guards from every standpoint, while Kappelman ' s outstanding defensive work and in-the-pinch scoring are indis- pensable. A 35-to-18 victory over Washburn opened the 1936 season for the Jayhawk warriors, with the defense functioning perfectly and Noble leading the scoring with 11 counters. Coach Allen used practically his entire squad in an effort to get an idea of his sophomores ' abil- ities under fire, and discovered in Holli- day and Cox a pair of first year men that will aid greatly in future campaigns. Allen used 17 men in the second game of the season and the Jayhawk- ers trounced the Ottawa Braves 53 to 22 with little or no difficulty. The Braves ' offense was bottled up throughout the first half and counted only nine points, but with the advent of the Kansas second and third teams in the second stanza Daylight, former Haskell star, began to find the mark and sank several beautiful long shots to lead Ottawa in a slight come-back, but the 31-9 Kansas advan- tage was too great to overcome and the second victory was chalked up, which, coupled with two wins over Oklahoma last season after the disastrous Missouri series, gave Kansas a record of four straight wins, a string which has been added to without interruption since that time. Then came the near-fatal Baker con- test. Bub Shaffer won the game with but 10 seconds to play as he counted his first field goal of the year on a follow-in shot, and the fast, hard-fighting FEBRUARY, 1936 199 Orangemen were subdued, 34 to 32. The goal climaxed an almost miraculous Kansas rally that brought them from behind in the last three minutes of play, with substitutes playing a large part in the victory. The iron men seemed a bit rusty that Monday evening, and it was left up to Cox, Shaffer, and Holliday to sink the winning baskets, which fact is a great tribute to Coach Allen ' s power to imbue his players with a determina- tion to win when victory seems more remote. Christmas vacation brought four non- conference games and an opportunity to gauge the power of two league oppo- nents, Missouri and Kansas State, neither expected to be soft touches. The barn- storming crew of the University of Southern California was repulsed, 34 to 31, on December 20, when the Jay- hawkers saw an early lead fade as the game went on, but had enough strength in reserve to hurl back the Trojan chal- lenge before it brought victory. The same night Kansas State defeated Mis- souri to establish themselves as one of the powers to be reckoned with in the final accounting, but when they met Kansas the next night their establishment received a severe blow that almost de- stroyed its foundation. While Ray Noble was keeping busy holding Frank Groves, Kansas State ' s all-Big Six center, to his lowest score of the season. Ray Ebling was having fun dropping the sphere through the hoop with the greatest of ease, leading the Jayhawkers in a 38 to 23 conquest of the boys from Manhattan, who are after all one of the strongest of Big Six teams. Another group of Californians, this time from the University of Cali- fornia, found themselves unable to match the pace of the Kansans, and were twice defeated, on January 2 and 3, the scores 32 to 28 and 27 to 18, respectively. This time the Jayhawkers had a slight difficulty at first in subduing their foes, trailing 16 to 14 soon after the opening of the second half of the first game, but with Ebling and Noble scoring five baskets each they finally succeeded. Noble count- ed 13 points for high point honors. The second game lacked the thrills that characterized the first, but ended in the Kansas favor, thereby satisfying a major portion of the assembled crowd. Ebling was high scorer in the second contest, with Roy Holliday, midget forward, put- ting in a helping hand at the crucial moments. Tuesday, January 7, was opening night for Kansas in the Big Six, and they began their campaign to regain the title crown lost to Iowa State last year in imposing fashion with a 28 to 17 win over Frank Groves and Kansas State. Trailing at the half, 9 to 7, the Jay- hawkers came back with a rush, learned probably during the first week of school, to display a much superior brand of ball-handling and shot-making, with Ebling again leading the way with 11 points. Groves was effectually bottled up by Noble and the Little Giants sound- ed a warning to other conference teams to beware and prepared themselves for their second league encounter, this time with last year ' s champions, Iowa State. A Cyclone from Iowa State blew into Lawrence on the night of January 10 as the forerunner of one of the coldest cold waves ever experienced in Kansas, but unlike the weather, found themselves tamed down to the semblance of a mere zephyr. Iowa State had wrested the title from Kansas last year with the timely aid of Missouri, but without their center and star, Waldo Wegner, were deplorably lacking in strength. (Wegner graduated last spring.) So the Jayhawkers made it two straight in conference competition and trimmed the Cyclones, 38 to 17. Noble and Ebling, the two big guns, were spiked, leaving the scoring burden to Mitt Allen and Francis Kappelman, who counted 9 and 10 points, respectively. Although Thompson, Iowa center, con- trolled the tip at center, the Kansans staged a display of ball seldom seen in these parts and sank nearly every shot. They attempted to demonstrate just what a good team can do when it is hot. The closest league game so far in the season was the Kansas-Missouri clash on January 15. It will be remembered that the unheralded Tiger clawed the Jayhawker into second place in last year ' s title struggle with two victories near the end of the season, and seemed destined to begin early in the season this year when the two clubs met in Columbia, stamping grounds of the Tiger. With the two Rays counting ten points each the Allen men squeezed through with a 29 to 25 win for their third conference vic- tory and broke the jinx which usually follows them to Missouri. The winning streak for the season had reached ten. Well, Phog had said that Nebraska was the team to stop, so his men took it upon themselves to do just that, and sent the Cornhuskers back to Lincoln smarting under a 45 to 23 defeat, prov- ing that as Nebraska consistently wins the two schools ' football encounters so does Kansas alway s emerge victorious in basketball meetings. The Jayhawkers shut off the water of the Nebraska fire engine attack and ran wild themselves trying to keep up with Ebling, who scored eight field goals and three free throws to creep up on the heels of Groves for league scoring honors. Hold- ing only a 16-14 advantage at the half, Kansas solved the Husker defense in the second period while keeping their own a secret and won going away. Scholastic difficulties bothered the Kansas basketeers little this year, and with an occasional slight boost from somewhere or other they all cleared the various hurdles with which the athlete ' s path is lined.

HAS TENDED TO LIMIT THE ACQUAIN- TANCE OF THE PRESENT GENERATION OF STUDENTS WITH LOVER ' S LANE. A SPOT DEAR TO STUDENTS OF BYGONE YEARS. FEBRUARY, 1936 211 The elks have a name for it And which of our miniature legisla- tures does this article bring to mind? by BARBARA BRAMWELL O Mohammedans their Mecca, to X Israelites their Canaan, to Rotarians, Peoria and yes, to the activity boys and girls of the old State U., the Council room. At two-thirty one Thursday afternoon early in February, six prominent young men and women of the campus, having foregone, respectively, the variated plea- sures of French, beer, design, chemistry lab, math and a date, were assembled in the Council room of the Union building. The Beverage-Refreshment Committee of the K. U. Good-Fellow-Get-Together Committee Club was meeting. A special meeting, too, and the august body was fairly on tiptoe with eagerness to know the important business which had occa- sioned this special conference. Promptly at two-thirty-one, Chairman Bill Perkins bustled in and walked to the head of the table about which his committee was gathered. He nodded a brusk hello, as befitted a man of affairs, and drew a mallet from his coat pocket. He declared, as he struck a mighty blow on the table (Bill had been on the foot- ball squad before activities had taken so much of his time that he was prevented from going out to practice), The meet- ing is now in order. Roll-Keeper Hig- gins, will you proceed to your duty? Lois Higgins, competent and capable as usual, already had the roll book opened before her. Chairman Perkins? Here. I object! Bob Lawton, being in his second year of the first semester of law school was naturally very helpful in committee procedure. According to amendment twenty in the constitution, ever} ' member must respond with ' pres- ent ' to roll-call. Present, Chairman Perkins corrected himself shortly. Vice-Chairman Reeter? Present. Secretary Linden? Present. Treasurer Turtle? Present. Constitution custodian Lawton? He present! Miss Armstrong? Present (The committee always felt guilty when Sue Armstrong ' s name was called. But they hadn ' t been able to think of another office.) Since this is a special meeting we will dispense with the usual prelimi- naries of the other committee reports. The committee, with the exception of Miss Armstrong, looked reproachful. And now, Chairman Perkins went on briskly, I suppose you are wondering why I called this special meeting. Need- less to say, I have some business of importance. We have a question of grave significance to discuss. The committee as a whole edged for- ward tensely on its respective chairs. You will remember that at our last meeting we voted to have cakes at the next tea. But we neglected to decide whether the cakes should be frosted with pink or with white frosting. This, then, briefly, fellow-committeemen, is the question before the house: Shall we have pink or white frosting on the cakes? There was a moment of silence as the committee contemplated the momentous proportions of the issue which they must decide. Then came the prod of the chairman ' s voice. The question is open for discus- sion. What do you think about it, Vice- Chairman Reeter? You ' re a Home Economics Major. You ought to have some constructive ideas on the matter. Sally Reeter looked grave, as befitted her superior knowledge of the subject at hand. I believe, she said meditatively, that white frosting would be more healthful. Artificial coloring would prob- ably be used in the pink and might pos- sibly cause the guests some er indiges- tive embarrassment. Some belches? suggested Miss Arm- strong, brightly. The committee looked pained. Miss Armstrong ' s brightness vanished and she tried to look as if she hadn ' t spoken. Mister Chairman. Secretary Linden. I have noticed that there is some- times an unpleasant sugary taste to pink frosting that one doesn ' t find in white. Mister Chairman. Roll-Keeper Higgins. I think the color scheme should be considered. Of course, I am a design major and maybe I lay too much stress on having things look pretty, Miss Hig- gins smiled self-deprecatingly, But really, the pink cakes would show up much better on the white plates and give a dash to the whole ensemble. That ' s a good point, Roll-Keeper Higgins. I ' ve thought a great deal about this problem myself and I am inclined to believe that the pink cakes are more generally preferred. I object! Mr. Lawton cried. Accord- ing to the constitution, the chairman should be neutral on all questions. I was merely pointing out what I thought to be prevailing campus opinion, Chairman Peters glared at Mr. Lawton. May I add, Mr. Chairman, that I personally like white frosting better than pink. We should remember, Custodian Lawton, that the good of the whole should be considered and not our per- sonal opinions. Mr. Lawton and his personal opinions subsided for the moment. Mister Chairman, said Treasurer Turtle, I think we should consider the economic side of the question. We are spending public funds. Which costs the most pink or white frosting? A very good point. Does anyone know? Vice-Chairman Reeter, can you help us out? I believe, said Miss Reeter frown- ing in thought, that they are just the same price. Though if they weren ' t. I should think the pink would cost more. But they are probably just the same price. Since they are the same in price ' began Chairman Perkins, hurriedly. I object! Mr. Lawton again. Vice- Chairman Reeter has expressed a reason- able doubt as to whether pink and white frosting cost the same. Vice-Chairman Reeter, will you kindly call the bakery? The chairman was exasperated. Miss Reeter withdrew to telephone. The meeting lagged. Miss Armstrong inquired the hour and was coldly informed by Chairman Peters that it was three-thirty-five. (Continued on page 242) 212 THE JAYHAWKER Whirligigs Facts about Kansas coeds as told by one of the sterner sex i by JOHN P. DIETER Q SAVANT once made the state- .LJ. ment that a. man was not truly wise until he realized how little he knew about women. No doubt there are many men who will take exception to this apothegm. The super egotistical male who is always boring one with endless stories of conquests of dowdy or semi- respectable women is not an uncommon character. His smug, self satisfied man- ner, his air of braggadocio are intended to convey the impression that to him, at least, women are not the unpredictable enigmatic individuals that others find them. In one respect, at least, this loath- some type of individual is half right. He treats them as the economic utility which partial analysis proves them to be you know, a good that satisfies a want. The trouble with this explanation lies in its only partial completeness. It still leaves much to be explained apart from the sensually emotional side to woman ' s na- ture. However, a close observer must conclude that what would seem to be the unknowable, unfathomable, unpredictable and enigmatic in woman, is only hypo- crisy, deceit, fickleness, emotional insta- bility and egocentricity. While we must grudgingly concede that their ability to absorb knowledge by rote and memory is par excellence, and their artistic ability to copy and imitate is unsurpassable, their reflective thoughts rarely go beyond the stage of wondering what they will wear or what impression they are making. And this much is cer- tain ; women can rarely if ever be accused of having any deep philosophic thought or a perspicuity that extends beyond the mere surface of an idea. Their ,self vaunted aesthetic temperaments evidently lack the depth or brilliance to originate creations that live forever and are truly great. We condescendingly inquire, where are your female Michaelangelo ' s, De Vinci ' s, Paderewski ' s et al? Woman ' s classic but tiresome retort is that pre- judice, lack of opportunity, and social discrimination are responsible for their artistic retardation. To the wise, these answers smack of the apology or excuse rather than stand as effective rea- sons or causes as they were intended. But enough of these generalizations. What you and I are interested in are the shortcomings and vulnerabilities of the women on this campus whom you and I know. Let us take a few of the more recognizable prototypes, imitations of which can be found on any campus, and strip off the shams and artifices which tend to obscure their real selves. After all, it is any man ' s prerogative in a dice game to inspect the dice sometimes they are loaded. Now Crackpot is a typical university student. Coming from a small town he is interested in getting acquainted with life, the birds of the air, the beasts of the land, and the fishes of the sea. He knows that for four years he can play, acquire experience and have fun after that, marriage and peaceful oblivion. With a healthy and normal liking for the fairer sex is coupled an inordinate curiosity and an ample supply of intes- tinal fortitude (guts to you). He, in turn, possesses a fair amount of attracta- bility. In other words, he is well heeled with the necessary equipment and para- phernalia for his adventures. One day, at the first of the term, while Crackpot was ensconced in a booth at one of the college hangouts imbibing a coke, opportunity smacked him squarely between the eyes. She was a gorgeous neophyte accompanied by an upperclass- man date who took obvious pleasure in introducing her to collegiate mysteries with his own blase smugness. (The date was provided, of course, by the wiles of her new sorority sisters, plus an unpaid moral obligation which led back to a night when the upperclassman had pre- ferred the blissful stimulation of joy water to the mauling stampede of a so- rority spring formal thus are most neophytes launched.) Her attributes were mostly physical a glob of hair the coiffure of which had recently been changed by an experimenting coiffeur from the style of which mother thought sweet and proper to u ltra modern smartness. The result, to give it full credit, was at least breath-taking. This mop of curls, too perfectly arranged, still gave unmistakable indication that the owner ' s recent playground must have been a hayfield. (Who could expect a mere hairdresser to extract all the strands of hay at a first sitting?) Under the hair was a round cherubic face, well dimpled and angled in the right places. Nicely placed in proportion to her other fea- tures were her large soulful, bedroom eyes, calf-like in their innocent guileless- ness, which yet were intriguing in their own naive way. To cap it off the intrigante FEBRUARY, 1936 213 possessed a beautifully formed figure, which the owner well knew inspired, but coyly refused to publicly admit its in- spirational qualities. Crackpot tumbled at the very first be- witching smile from the beautiful crea- ture (given, of course, to each one in his turn). Fate was indeed kind to him for the next day he discovered himself to be in the same class with this pretty bauble. A little connivance was all that was necessary for him to obtain a seat near her. Betticoed (which proved to be her name), mindful of the admonishings of her sorority sisters that the woman ' s place is in the house (varily as many fraternity houses as the warmth of her sociability would merit) made the first advance. Smiling innocently, yet archly, a technique prefected only by long practice, she told Crackpot in her own helpless way that she just couldn ' t understand the lesson. (This is an indication of her mentality that is later verified.) Crack- pot with much fervor seized this, his big opportunity, and not only helped her with her lessons but also sent her flowers, bought her cokes, took her to shows, dances, plays, etc. All of this attention, of course, was helping to create a deficit in Crackpot ' s pot of funds. (Don ' t get the impression from what I have said that Crackpot was making any headway into her affections ; he was only barely hold- ing his own with four or five other fel- lows from four or five other fraternities.) Yes, Betticoed was a true Pan-Hell girl and, analogous to the proverbial sailor, had one in every house. In justice to her sense of fair play, it must be allowed that she spaced her dates with machine-like regularity, keeping her mornings as open season for whichever boy friend first presented himself to squire her down the campus. Indeed she was fair enough, meting out dates like the devil and the lord divided their souls in the oft-told tale this is yours and that is mine. Betti wasn ' t totally a give and take girl in the sense of you give, I ' ll take. One must grant that she made your dates with her highly entertaining. Conversation with her was never on a particularly high plane. Usually it ran through a hetero- geneous collection of unclever slang expressions picked up from different sources, to the ever effective line, You big strong man, I ' m so ' ittle, so help- less, and so afraid (with variations). Yes, so afraid, afraid that she wouldn ' t get enough dates or make enough parties. Perhaps the most sincere thing Betti- coed ever did was to ask Crackpot to get her a blind date for his fraternity ' s big party, in order to maintain her selfish ambition to attend every important party on the Hill. In this instance at least she bared her soul to gratify a desire. Such candor is at least pitiable. Poor Crackpot was repaid for his chivalrous fulfillment of her request by being sent a stag bid to Betticoed ' s sorority party. The date bid, which had been dangled enticingly before the various swains as a come on lure, finally went (in Crackpot ' s words) to some toad of a Phi Delt. To one of the disappointed amorists Betti told a pathetic story about having made the date at the first part of the year, never anticipating that she could ever feel this way about anyone. Another was recon- ciled by the story that the invitation had been extended while she was in her cups and therefore not entirely respon- sible for her hasty action. Still another had to be satisfied with the contention that, really he is an old friend of the family ' s and mother insisted that I ask him. The fourth sympathized with her story that, the cad jumped at an indefi- nite invitation which I had to give him out of courtesy, and now I can ' t do any- thing about it, you know. Betti never openly criticized her sor- ority sisters. Everything to her was just too dear or too incomprehen- sible. Such criticisms as she made were always in the most cross your heart and hope to die type of confidence I really wouldn ' t tell anybody but you, but I know that you understand how she is. To put it plainly, she was like a kitten with her claws curled under. On an evening date, Betti was at her best. She could be lushly and tantalizingly cuddlesome. When she coyly allowed you to kiss her, on the first date, it was really and truly the first time she had ever been kissed. Betti was neither a particularly moral or amoral creature. She smoked a lot, drank a little, and made a pixyish ass out of herself when tight. She played the game alright, but she played it according to her own code of rules. But poor Crackpot who had loved deeply was thwarted. He found that he knew Betticoed as well after the first date as he did after the twenty-first, or probably would after the hundred and first. The promises which he implied from Betti ' s conduct were never to mate- rialize for him. He realized more and more that promises were but means to an end, an end far different from what he had hoped. Things reached an im- passe and Crackpot seized upon the first opportunity to sever definite connections. If an opportunity didn ' t present itself, it could be easily trumped up. Betti had completed her cycle, and it only takes a few such cycles to ruin Betti socially. She is the kind of girl with whom anyone can make a date. She makes all the lesser social functions because she is indiscriminating and so available. By her sophomore year she is entirely surplanted by a new group of Betticoeds, fresh and unspoiled by handling. There is nothing left but a shell, a brittle glamor from a shoddy trinket. After vainly trying to attach a few naive freshmen men to her string, she usually becomes engaged to some boy back home or discovers how impor- tant grades really are. Meanwhile, Crackpot, wisened by experience looked for new worlds to conquer. No longer was he interested in the gushing cyclonic type that had demanded so much of his time and yet had paid him so little dividends. At first he had been a little awed by several girls with whom he had a mere speaking acquaintance. They were sophisticated acting, ubiquitous creatures, whose pol- ished manner and preened appearance exuded from every point the fact that they had become satiated with the thrills of life and kept their hold on life chiefly out of consideration for the world which would lose so much by their absence. Imasnob was very much one of these creatures. City bred, sleek and gorgeous in an artificial way, she had come from a wealthy family who had accorded her every advantage. Of clothes she had plenty (thank God, for without them she would have truly resembled her identifi- cation card photo). Expensive tea gowns and sports wear, not to mention formals and rich looking accessories, so far as most Imasnobs are concerned, serve to distract the eye from noticing a certain mousiness of feature, a pre-Fleischmann complexion, and a spoiled personality. She was the product of an expensive, exclusive eastern finishing school. By virtue of this year ' s absorption of the elements of polish and refinement, she had acquired a canned culture. This, she egotistically felt, sufficed to secure her position as a critic of anything artis- tic, as the judge of the conduct of others, and as the penultimate of all that is connoted by the words chic, fashionable, and smart. In reality her attributes are few. She may range from a superficially intelligent girl to one who is just plain dumb, using the pose of sophistication to masque her real stupidity. She does know how to wear clothes and what clothes to wear at different functions. This creates the necessary appearance of opulence. She has acquired a smattering of art, music, sports jargon, etc., from the vari- ous swanky magazines, and she talks on these topics with a blase bored tone that is supposed to imply worldly wisdom. She has played the same mediocre brand (Continued on page 236) 214 THE JAYHAWKER THE WELL, here we are trying to introduce the turns of the Social Wheel to all you merrymakers. In doing this, our only hope is that all of you read them and weep, or remember, or do whatever you choose. By way of introduction we might as well comment on our beloved compatriot and ex-rival, Mr. Jughead Woods. If he got through Editorial by using purely statistical methods he is, by now, experiencing the first wintry blasts of the cold, cold world. Good luck, Jug! In his place we find an ex-sports editor and admirer of Crosby Seymour, Jordan Bud Evans. Mr. Evans has started very well on the road to fame and rathood (the opinion of all attempted columnists), but so far he has said nothing to warrant comment in this sheet. Here ' s hoping his ardor in- creases, and courage takes the place of discretion in the quest of valor. After all, it wouldn ' t do to have writers without their throwing jibes around. It works in so well in supplying material. And now we offer on the sacrificial altar of fame, the brawl of Kappa Alpha Theta. A very nice party, thank you, was the byword. People didn ' t stop hearing this oft- repeated phrase until about fifteen minutes before the party was over. Oh well, we thought the party was all right. Funny thing, though, we didn ' t think we were going to get to attend until the untiring efforts of Jo Burrow and Elizabeth Shearer won over the girls ' cold hearts and caused them to relent. Thank you, it really was sporting. Again we were treated to the smooth melodies of Mr. Claude Redpuss Blackburn and Red really outdid him- self that night. Good work, my friend. But, as at all Theta parties, things began to happen. Betty Eidson came through. According to the Thetas, however, it really isn ' t a very good story until you hear her tell it. It seems that despite repeated warnings, threats, and otherwise, Betty was merrily chawing SPOKESMAN away at one of Mr. Wrigley ' s baseball team supporters. While she was dancing with one of those tall, dark, and handsome stags her enthusiasm got the better of her control and queerly enough she was staring at her gum on the gentleman ' s coat lapel. Oh woe, what to do now? She did manage with a bit of cuddling and cooing to get the gum back in its proper recep- tacle, but then she began to worry about whether the gentleman noticed her social error. Upon her confession he was much surprised but delighted to find that he could have been of service. Other things interested us such as Lucy Lee Hawk ' s con- fession that she had a new boy friend by the name of Felix. His claws must not have sunk very deep, because we still find Glen Goodloe very much in evidence. The return of the oldsters such as Brabant, Sherwood, Dougherty, Schultz, and Harper came as a pleasant surprise. Those were the good old days. Then again, the boys started complaining about the monopoly some of the Sigma Chis had on the attentions of Betty Ruth Smith, who is incidentally the Hill ' s authority on men. We wonder how she explained the situation off to Brother Kalhorn, the most fortunate of her stag list. And last, but not in the least the least, we have Miss Dorothy Rhythm-Stomp Fritz, the latest of the torch singers. Congratulations, my friend, you were really better than we expected. Boy, we ' ll bet you ' re a great asset to a sorority bull session when the strain isn ' t quite so great. And now, feeling the only things mentionable in connection with the Theta party are these, we must proceed to something else. About December 13, on Friday night mind you, the Pi Phis defied nature, suspicion and everything else in their attempt to outdo the janes of Indiana street. A very nice job too girls, but we just couldn ' t saw at our necks by offering any sort of an opinion on the matter. Again, and very favorably DOROTHY FRITZ SINGS FOR THETA ' S GUESTS THE PHI DELT CHRISTMAS DANCE FEBRUARY, 1936 215 CLOSE-UPS AT THE KAPPA PARTY so, we were confronted by the music of Red Blackburn. Outside the music the only comment we can offer concerning the general setting is about that confounded blue apparition swinging so lazily above the crowd. Very poor, indeed! And now for what seems to be a rather ticklish yet unim- portant subject, Paul Toar Minter, one of the D. U. tribe ' s better snooker players, seems to have plenty of what it takes to conduct a successful triangle. Anyway, he now has the promises of one Frances Bruce, and another Mary Ann Edgerton, of Wichita. How this is coming out we have no idea, because this is just about as far as we can go. Here it seems that discretion again becomes the better part of valor. We have here a subject that has been bandied about by almost everyone. Our blonde, Queenie McFarland took a slight sleeping powder and decided to forget it all for a few moments. The angle we want to bring out is one of the weightiest involved in the whole problem. Two of our local talent failed in their attempts to pick the girl up, but Ed Haren, our expansive Sigma Chi and addict to Pi Phi charm, handled her just like a feather in the breeze. Size is a most important matter in this world of airs, isn ' t it? And now for the mention of a few more personalities. Peggy Ann Landon comes in to take her bow and to intro- duce her Phi Delt freshman whom she escorted to the part} ' after only two dates. There ' s no accounting for eccentricity, however. Margaret O ' Brien Wilcox, looking very extra special in one of those pink creations, so completely overshadowed her latest, Bill Linton, that there really was no room for comparison. All of which reminds us of that old saying that it ' s better to be a big frog in a little puddle than a little frog in a big puddle. It really is necessary to mention that the D. U. ' s again had the situation well in hand. In one case we were particularly aggravated because a fellow seemed to prefer quaintness almost as much as we did. The following night the Kappas added their bit to the wheel by entertaining all the people at Gower Place. In con- nection with this fling, we have a sad story to relate concerning George Blubber Come Back to Me Guernsey. Georgie has bragged for two years now over not having missed a major sorority party. All the Gower Place beauties framed up on little Georgie this year, however, and George ' s name was very neatly left off the Phi Gam stag list. One of life ' s greatest tragedies, eh! Well, such things will happen, George, and a little Pi Phi by the name of Heifer, pardon me Hefner. Names such as the two above often get the best of one, you know. People were telling us how nice that party was and particu- larly about the appearance of a certain beauty out of school at present. Interests vary during the year and, as a result, we THE PHI PSI DINNER DANCE found ourselves listening to what happened at this large social gathering. Well, the next week-end, on the night before vacation officially started, about seven fraternities signed off with merry- making. A gala night sponsored by Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Tau Omega, etc. But due to queer quirks of human nature we can ' t go to these, and so we must content ourselves with hearing about the antics of these wild fraternity men. Believe it or not, three weeks have passed, and it is now the night for the Sophomore Hop. Mr. Buddy Fisher and his bunch of Kansas cornsters was selected to provide the stomp music. Now maybe we ' re wrong, but they could have done just lots and lots better. We hope Cochrane is right in his proclamation that the Hill will listen to one darn good band before the end of the year. Again we have only one feature to relate, but lord, what a feature. Mr. Jack Richardson, one of our fanciest trippers of the light fantastic, was doing his durndest on a fast number and before he knew what had happened he was looking up at the crowd from an undignified position on exceedingly hard wood. His partner, luckily enough, escaped with no injuries. But it just goes to show that anything can happen to the best of us, so keep trying all you plodders and would-be trippers. And now comes time to report those two coincident social events, the Chi Omega and Delta Upsilon parties. Their music was furnished by Messrs. Red Blackburn and Wayne Wright who shuttled back and forth between the two domiciles, weav- ing a bright carpet of their melodies and rhythms for the pleasure of everybody concerned. Even the Sig Eps, Sig Alphs and Gamma Phis were treated and free of charge, mind you. The Chi Omegas reported an engagement between Virginia Brengle and Charles Taylor, Delt pledge of yesteryear. The announcer, Virginia Eagle, was so nervous that the quaver- ing of her voice almost put the P. A. system out of commission. We particularly noticed the dancing and home town popularity of the Chi Omega ' s nightmare, I mean dream girl, Alice Marie Meyn. Keep it up though something tells us that Paul Smart still likes it. Friends, permit us not to burden you with this little bit of involving chagrin, wonder and amusement on our part. There is a D. U. by the name of Royer Barclay, a very pleasant chap, who was treading a smooth path at the Pi Phi house. All of a sudden he hit a bump on llth street and had to detour for a while. Now his path seems smooth again with only a ripple every now and then to interfere. Will he remove the ripple? (Continued on page 238) 216 THE JAYHAWKER I ' m working my way through college One of the more unusual ways of getting an education is by playing in a dance band by J. HUBERT ANDERSON OVER four thousand students are now attending the University of Kansas, and approximately fifty per cent of them, including both men and women, are only partially, if at all, dependent on Dad for keeping them in school and for paying their living expenses while they are in Lawrence. The occupations and jobs with which they support themselves are innumerable. Most of the students in your psychology lecture, in the chemistry laboratory, or in the other classes may leave hurriedly, when the whistle blows, to take up their duties as stenographers, clerks, salesmen, barbers, cooks, waiters, dishwashers, fur- nace tenders, housemaids, printers, librar- ians, secretaries, manual ' laborers, electri- cians, mechanics, bookkeepers, cashiers, ushers, truck drivers, and window trim- mers. Not a new occupation among work- ing students, but certainly a less ' com- mon one, is that of the professional musician, who has become skilled through his years of practice and training and is able to realize a significant return for his efforts. He is usually accomplished on several instruments and has had not a few years experience on them before he entered the play-for-pay game in the more competitive circles. That there are a number of men using this means of earning their expenses for attending the university is not unusual, considering the number of opportunities which are available on the campus for them to furnish their services. This is speaking particularly of the varsity dances, fraternity and sorority parties, and other occasions at which the music and the rhythm of good dance bands is required. Over fifty men are playing in the cur- rent reigning Jayhawker dance bands. Wayne Wright and Louie Kuhn direct organizations of twelve musicians apiece. Preston Anderson uses fourteen men, and Red Blackburn wields a baton over thir- teen players. This total of better than two score and ten represents approxi- mately one and one quarter per cent of the entire student enrollment at the university. The players are representatives of all schools, there being lawyers, medics, fine arts and college students, and engineers among them. Whether this fact proves anything or not, it is singular that although there are a few fine arts stu- dents in these bands, they are in a dis- tinct minority in comparison with the number of those from the other schools. Not more than a handful of these half a hundred men are engaged in playing who do not need the money. Rather, it is the rule that nearly every one of them is practically entirely self- supporting with his music. It is a means of making a livelihood with which all of them are familiar from past experience before they undertook to follow it on Mount Oread. At the next varsity, when you chance to notice from whence the music comes, be it Wright ' s or Kuhn ' s or Anderson ' s or Blackburn ' s orchestra that is appear- ing, do not fail to wonder what lies back of the arrangements of the popular hits which they are playing. Although it is chiefly on Friday and Saturday nights that the boys have their engagements, two or three long rehearsals must be held each week to make the final polish possible. And their appearances are not con- fined solely to the university campus. They may be playing in a Kansas City hotel or night spot one week and in the Mill at Topeka the next. Trips to Colum- bia, Missouri, are not uncommon occur- rences. At other times there are jobs in Wichita, in Oklahoma towns, in Nebraska, and then home again. When the boys have a cross-country jump to make they leave early in the afternoon of their evening ' s engagement, driving usually in two cars, one of which is pulling a trailer loaded with instru- ments. It is reported that quite a liberal education may be had by those taking such a trip. At any rate, whether this is true or not, it may be said that the boys get a lot of experience. As to the monetary profit of these engagements, it has previously been stated that most of the boys are entirely self-supporting by their playing. The chief means which the bands have of insuring themselves against not receiving a profitable return for their efforts is that action which may be secured by their having membership in the musicians ' union. Not only are the amounts which they shall receive for dances stipulated, but a guarantee of the collection for payment on engagements which they have fulfilled is upheld by the union. Aside from their membership in the union of professional musicians, what is the rating of these collegiate dance bands which headquarter at the University of Kansas? Perhaps you have answered this question already, yet on the other hand you may have wondered what others think. It is a commonly and generally spoken opinion that the local bands are decidedly above the average of the gen- eral run of college bands. Whether to attribute this to outstanding individual musicianship, to effective and superior leadership, or to long hours of practice is something which cannot easily be determined. Probably each of the factors mentioned has a large part in the success of the organizations. Another part that has been active in the reaching of these ends is the spirit of the men. Although any of them might easily hold down a number of other types of jobs, they have held to playing clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, basses, drums, violins, pianos, and trom- bones because they like it. Each year (Continued on pJge 241) FEBRUARY, 1936 We would like to see 217 218 THE JAYHAWKER Ten-minute alibi A candid criticism of the dramatic club ' s modern mystery production AUDIENCE psychology creates a major problem for the actor. This psychology shows that an audience is less civilized and intelligent than are its individual members outside of the theatre. A TENSE MOMENT It is hard for amateurs to realize this fact and prepare for it. Since the patrons of Fraser Theatre know they are viewing an amateur performance they should take this weakness of the amateur into con- sideration and, by lending undivided attention, do their part toward building the play into a more acceptable pro- duction. During the week of December .9, 1935, the Dramatic Club of Kansas University, an all-student organization, presented Ten-Minute Alibi, a mystery melo- drama by Anthony Armstrong. Being far above the average murder mystery the play enjoyed long runs in London and New York. It is so well written that one is not sure of the out- come until the final curtain has fallen. Phillip Sevilla, who lives by seducing women, robbing them and then deserting them, has persuaded Betty Findon to elope with him. Colin Derwent, who loves Betty, goes to Sevilla ' s rooms to ask him to give her up. Sevilla laughs at him, but realizing that he might inter- fere with the plans, drugs him. In a deep sleep Colin dreams he murders Sevilla and establishes an alibi by chang- ing the hands of a large clock in the center of the room. Later Colin actually does murder Sevilla, using the method envisioned in his dream. The police inspector refuses to take note of the circumstantial evidence which points directly to Colin and turns in a verdict of suicide. As has already been hinted, the acting was that of the true amateur. Uncertainty as to emphasis of lines and stage busi- ness was apparent. Co-operation between the members of the cast was not all that it might have been. The few good characterizations of the play were robbed of their dramatic power by the mediocrity of the performance as a whole. At first glance the part of Hunter, played by Kenneth Postlethwaite, seemed well portrayed. The basis of the characterization was good. Voice and manner were blended together to give a strong individual. However, as the show progressed it was obvious that Hunter was no other character than Postlethwaite himself. No matter what a pleasing per- sonality Mr. Postlethwaite has, he cannot expect to slur over detail of character and call it acting. Walter Bloch gave a fair characteriza- tion in the part of Phillip Sevilla, the proverbial villian. Those who have watched Mr. Bloch in the theatre for the last few years must admit that he has improved a great deal this year. However, his weak points were brought out in the scenes with Miss Jenkins. These showed a lack of concentration and sincerity. His BOB CUNNINGHAM AND JEANETTE JENKINS interpretation of a condemned man pleading for his life was comical, rather than dramatic. Mr. Bloch should learn that eyes are important in love scenes that one can ' t look at the ceiling while kissing a girl and expect to project such feeling over the footlights. . The most disappointing performance was that of Jeanette Jenkins, playing Betty Findon. Although Miss Jenkins had been through five weeks of direc- tion, her carriage and walk were obvi- ously uncultivated. Her voice was strained and her movement was neither definite nor clear cut. Above all, her (Continued on page 241) THIRD DEGREE FEBRUARY, 1936 219 Death takes two prominent faculty members The loss of Dr. Thurnau and Dr. Hodder is keenly felt by students and teachers alike by JAMES POSTMA DEATH has taken from the faculty of the -University of Kansas two prominent members whose activities, in the classroom and out, make their passing a. severe blow to the students, community, and the teaching profession. Dr. Harry Conrad Thurnau, head of the German department for 20 years, died from a cerebral hemorrhage at his home August 6, 1935. Dr. Frank Heywood Hodder, head of the history department and a member of the faculty for nearly 45 years, died on December 27, 1935, the victim of a heart attack complicated by terminal pneumonia. A gentleman and a scholar, be- loved by all who knew him, is the tribute of the many students, col- leagues, and other friends who were fortunate in having contact with Dr. Harry Conrad Thurnau. Dr. Thurnau gave his best to the University, never wavering in his duty even when the World War brought unpopu- larity and prejudice against the German department. Instead of retreating when enrollment in his courses decreased rapidly and the staff was reduced from eleven to three teachers, he stood by his task, and slowly but surely built the department back to the high standard it enjoys in the University today. Born December 19, 1876, on a farm near Edwardsville, 111., Dr. Thurnau received his public school education at Edwardsville. He prepared for college in the Academy of Northwestern Uni- versity, and he attended that university his first two years of undergraduate study. He then transferred to the Uni- versity of Michigan where he obtained the A. B. degree in 1899 and the M. A. DR. THURNAU degree in 1903- He taught in a Char- lotte, Mich., high school in the years intervening his attendance at Michigan. After receiving his M. A., Dr. Thurnau taught in a high school at St. Louis until 1905, when he returned to the University of Michigan as a German instructor. At the same time he worked on his Ph.D. degree, which he was awarded in 1909. He was married in 1908 to Miss Myrtle Elliott, an alumna of Michigan University, and in the fall of 1909, Dr. and Mrs. Thurnau toured Europe, the former attending the University of Berlin for one semester. On his return from abroad, he became an associate professor at Oberlin College, where he remained until 1915 when he received a professorship of German at the University of Kansas. Here he remained until his death. Dr. Thumau ' s greatest interest was in German literature, but he did not neglect to contribute toward the funda- mental instruction of the language. He produced three books to aid beginners, the third one as yet unpublished. His favorite in literature was Goethe ' s Faust, and students who studied it under him caught his enthusiasm for the subject. He was that kind of professor. Dr. Thurnau came into contact with a large number of students not even in his department. As chairman of advisers of all juniors in the college and of the com- mittee on eligibility for activities other than athletics, he had the unenviable position of saying no, or yes, to requests of students. He handled this task diplomatically and intelligently, hav- ing the faculty of convincing a student of the reasonableness of his decision. Students voluntarily enlisted his advice in their problems, and he always took time to help them. He possessed their trust and confidence. Closely related to his professorial work were his memberships in the Modern Language Association, the Goethe Society of America, the American Asso- ciation of University Professors, and Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity. He was also a member of Theta Delta Chi, national social fratern- ity, the University Club, Lawrence Book Club, and the country club. DR. HODDER Dr. Thumau ' s energy and personality is sorely missed by all organizations and persons who benefited by his service. Those whom he left will cherish his memory. An outspoken man who fearlessly voiced his convictions was the type of professor who headed the history depart- ment at the University of Kansas for 27 years. Two incidents in his life stand out to illustrate this quality of Dr. Hodder. In November of 1918, he said in a speech to the women ' s forum, Germany is not the only country which has Prus- sians. In our own country, Theodore Roosevelt is a typical Prussian, a mili- tarist in the highest sense. This brought a storm of criticism down on him, which culminated in a petition by the Law- rence G. A. R. that demanded his resig- nation from the faculty. Professor Hodder stood his ground, and the storm blew over. He again attracted attention in 1920 with an article in the Graduate Maga- zine, in which he said university profes- sors were not free to discuss economic, social and political questions unless their opinions confirmed to prevailing stand- ards. Always, Dr. Hodder was an expo- nent of freedom of speech and thought, and he encouraged it in his classes. Dr. Hodder was born November 6, I860, at Aurora, 111. He received his A.B. and Ph.D. degrees from the Uni- versity of Michigan in 1883. He was principal of Aurora high school for a (CoilinueJ on page 242) 220 THE JAYHAWKER Candy and cigars If winter comes, can spring be far behind? by BETTY RUTH SMITH THERE is an unverified rumor that spring is nigh upon us and this, quite naturally, is the time when a young man ' s fancy turns to what his girl has been thinking about all winter. Soon it will be the time when even trudging up that endless hill to classes will become a pleasure just in order to enjoy that un- definable something that is in the air. It ' s odd that in this time of year your mind starts to wander and you think about life and people, spring and steak- fries, and spring and things and then you get all quaky inside whether you have anything or anyone to get all quaky about. And after all, why not? It ' s great fun and very much an integral part of college life even if adapted in self de- fense in order to have something to talk about when your closest friends get in a confidential mood. However, to an interested observer the passing show is highly entertaining and enlightening. Many people accuse college of being a matrimonial bureau in poor disguise. Probably this idea, prevalent among those not immediately connected with college life, is influenced by M. G. M. ' s portrayal of a co-educational school. This type of representation of undergrad- uate life is characterized by an idealized fairyland sort of school where one may take a singing lesson, for example, with the no doubt indispensable aid of a group of Broadway ' s footlight favorites or by secluded spots where the hero and heroine may rapturously listen to ro- mantic music drifting out to them from the distance. Be that as it may, the accusations that are made are justified in most cases. Most girls, whether they will admit it or not, have a subconscious idea that some- time in their college career will appear a Prince Charming to escort them gallantly down the well-known aisle at some fu- ture date. To achieve this the trial and error method seems to be the most popu- lar. The men, usually unsuspecting of such plots as these, are caught and soon become convinced that it was their idea in the first place. After such preliminaries everything progresses beautifully. The usual badge deal prophesy is printed in the local scan- dal sheet with expectation of candy and cigars at any moment. This act of pass- ing these favors denoting the excellent marksmanship of Cupid ' s bow is in its- self a momentous act and one that de- serves more than casual comment so important a fact that most girls will proudly enumerate the girls in their house who have been successful, so to speak. To any girl, putting out a pin is an exciting occasion and justly so. It means the lure of secret planning and confidences with a few, at first, well chosen friends, the hushed expectancy when the prophetic five-pound box is gravely carried in and the surprised ex- clamations, if it is a surprise, of her best friends and foes. The boy, in the meanwhile, has prob- ably been attempting to pass off this em- barrassing moment with shaky non- chalance and casualness. The cigars are passed, and all must attempt a few puffs to keep in the spirit of things. And then poor man he has to face an excited mob of girls to test his nerve by remain- ing cool while receiving lipsticky con- gratulations that in no way help the dull red that is surreptitiously creeping up the back of his neck. You cynics may well laugh at all of this if you like, but most girls will find themselves sentimentalists at heart when a friend takes the leading role in this important undertaking ; and cynic or not you ' ll feel rather soft and tender yourself when you see someone so idiotically happy. The sad part of it all is the disillu- sionment that so often arrives later. Col- lege romance and young love while still in school may surmount all the seemingly many pitfalls, but the greatest danger is yet to be faced. This particular hothouse variety of romance when transplanted to a strange and foreign atmosphere some- times shrivels and dies a natural death. It is strange that the common interests that are shared in college are so often lost after that phrase of life is over. When one finds there is little to talk about now that evenings in the library, gossiping about one ' s roommates, varsities, and campus activities are a thing of the past, it is time to do a little serious investigating. So many times a young couple who have regarded the importance of the linking of their fraternity and sorority pins as terminating at the end of their college days find it twisted by fate and their hometown newspaper into a very, very real engagement. When they find the qualities and traits which they pre- viously admired while in school are neither apropos nor accepted in their home atmosphere it appears that the life of their romance is little longer than that of the candy or cigars. But when there is still the same mutual interest and love ah! there you have something. We might say at this point that trie attitude of the home town, which doesn ' t understand that a pin is merely a link binding two who merely want to see each other all the time, keeps a lot of our friends from taking the fatal step. It is a lucky thing for this custom that the home town throws a scare into this little act and makes putting out the hard- ware at Kansas a sacred ceremony. In most schools the mere badge exchange is more or less a game with many co-eds anxious to get as many as possible thank heaven we frown on that! There are many who will see life through together who can ' t take the step now because of the home town, and also there are many who see it through in spite of the publicity. In these two groups one finds a beautiful love affair either hidden or out in the open that would make a movie scenario look as sad as a blind man at a burlesque. If we could only see into every affair on the Hill we would probably start looking for a mate to share some of the scenes which we could pick from the many episodes of other loves. Many don ' t realize how dra- matic the love scenes at Kansas are. The dramatic scenes that occur after frank discussions on drinking and life in gen- eral would cause many to stand in awe and wish for a camera to astound the world with love that would be as big a box office attraction as Magnificent Obsession. In fact many loves at Kansas, in spite of talk, are the connecting together of two personalities that click and not a gorgeous creature falling for a dashing, greasy haired frat man. The latter of these two if found usually ends up in the gutter, while the former takes two inno- cent youths through a lifetime of hard- ships overcome by the mere light of love- that began in their college days. How- ever, naturally some do not find this and (Continued on page 239) FEBRUARY, 1936 221 The sophs ' swing it ' The yearlings treat the student body to a dance to get them in the mood for finals by KEITH SWINEHART GIVE UNION, HERE ' S HOW, and give they did from nine ' til one. Buddy Fisher and his Hollywood orches- tra, a beautiful ballroom, and lovely, lovely ladies. All of which, my friends, goes to make up a bird ' s-eye view of what was the Sophomore Hop. Of course you would have got a much better view if you had gone. That is why disregarding the free admission your correspondent sallied forth into the wind and the snow in order that all youse unin- formed might leam a little and decide to go to the next party. Dance Manager Lloyd distinctly stated that no more free tickets would be forthcoming if the publicity did not live up to his expectations, thus I am very thankful that the Soph dance managers, Martin Withers and Jack Townsend, suc- ceeded in putting across a party that warranted a little additional publicity. Friday, Jan. 10 ' twas, and a cold, blustery night without. Fisher, congenial band maestro (unless aroused), fresh from a successful engagement at the Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City, brought with him a new discovery, Virginia Van Dyche, a blonde Venus who got plenty of applause from the audience. In addition to Miss Van Dyche, a versatile glee club composed of members of the orchestra burst into song at timely intervals, featuring clever arrangements of current numbers. Six hundred people went a ' dancing to the Hop. Some turn- out for a sophomore function, long conceded to be one of the less interesting of the class parties. Whether the lowered levy of a dollar and a quarter turned the trick is not known, but there they were, and evidence is evidence. One of the brighter features of the affair was the decided decline of stags. This enabled the boys to get one or two more dances than usual with their dates as well as having full benefit of the floor. Cutting in and out to avoid bumping into obnoxious jay-walking stags was unnecessary, thus many eyes alert for any unforeseen obstacle became dreamy while the soul was put into dancing. Your correspondent even noticed that the usual run of high-tailing it to the sidelines on snappy numbers by the less experienced was abandoned. Yes, yes, it was a good brawl and one of which anyone might well be proud. The only kick in evidence during the evening asserted itself immediately after the dance started. The orchestra would play four or five numbers as it had been accustomed to do at the Grill, then take time out for about the same period. This gradually grated on the nerves of some of the more ardent dancers and members of the Men ' s Student Council and Women ' s Self-Governing Association who always get in free you know. It might be all right for such a delay at the Muehle- bach, but this was not the Muehlebach, said they. By and by, through stages of evolution, first of boresome strolling, then repeated clapping, catcalling, stompings, and firm demands for more music, Buddy also got wind of it and began to do a little fuming of his own. The controversy was amicably settled when it was explained to the free ticket holders and the like that the band was trying to play numbers the dancers requested, and if they wanted those numbers played o. k., and if not, blah! blah! blah! That ' s Buddy for you. A clever novelty number entitled Cocaine Lil was offered for approval by the glee club and enthusiastically accepted. The whole orchestra imitated dope fiends (in a very apt way) and in their wierd chant invited each and every one to have a little snifft, have a little snifft on me. This sound is very hard to imitate on the typewriter, but it sounds like what you do when you ' ve got a runny nose and no handkerchief. It was terribly tricky and nearly had your correspondent rolling on the floor in convulsions. And there ' s your Soph Hop on the half-shell of course I didn ' t get to tell you how gorgeous Hubbard was in her blue velvet, or how Eidson looked in that black rag she had on and oh yes! Judy Jencks was just too, too divine. I wonder just how much and just what Lloyd expects for that free ticket ? Anyway, if the Junior Prom and the Senior Cakewalk are as successful as the Soph Hop, they will be well worth the price of admission although there might be the possibility of a very slight increase in price. The Junior Prom will be the next big event on the social calendar and it is a ten-to-two o ' clock affair. The date is to be Friday, March 13- Now don ' t let that hold you away the Pi Phis had their brawl on Friday the thirteenth too. you remember. This will be the biggest demonstration you ever attended. Lloyd says that no definite arrangements have been made to date for the band, but if past Prom bands are any indication of quality, it will be the best. BUDDY FISHER ENTERTAINS THE CHAPERONES 222 THE JAYHAWKER The Christmas vespers The school of fine arts again stages a very beautiful and impressive yuletide service by BARBARA HUMPHREY AGAIN, as in several years past, a vast audience filled the University Auditorium Sunday afternoon, December 15, for the annual University Christmas Vespers sponsored by the School of Fine Arts. All seats were taken well before the time set for the opening of the program and many stood in the two galleries as well as on the main floor. A program of unusual beauty featur- ing vocal and instrumental music, four tableaux of scenes pertaining to the Christmas Season, and the pageantry of a candle-lighted processional and reces- sional by a choir of 85 voices, made the afternoon a memorable one on the Hill. One entered the building to find the stage and auditorium in a dim, bluish light. On either side were numerous seven-point candelabra and banks of Christmas trees while in the center of the broad auditorium stage stood the somewhat smaller stage on which the tableaux were to be shown. Promptly at four o ' clock, Professor Laurel Everette Anderson began the service with a short prelude of chimes followed by an arrangement of the Christmas Choral, Wir Christenleut by W. Friedman Bach. An ensemble of harp, organ, violin and two cellos played the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria while from each side entered the two vested candle lighters, Masters Seba Eldridge, Jr. and Edwin Bodin, who set alight the tall white candles. The organ then took up the familiar strains of Adeste Fidelis and from the back of the hall came the white-robed choir in two double columns on either side of the hall, each with lighted taper and singing in an impressive processional. As they reached the platform and took places on either side, the stage and the hall were brought into full light. The first tableau followed imme- diately, Bringing in the Yule Log, a picture in full light with a wealth of rich color and interest. Owing to the illness of David Gagliardo, the part of the small boy astride the huge log was taken by Master Frank Davis. The Vesper chorus under the direction of Dean Swarthout, sang next a lively Christmas number The Angels at the Manger, arranged by Martin Luvaas from an old Aargaw Folk Song, followed by a tenor solo from the ' Messiah, ' Comfort Ye, My People by foseph (Continued on page 232) SCENES FROM THE TABLEAUX FEBRUARY, 1936 223 The scholarship of the future Predicting the reaction of the contemporary stu- dent to the modern emphasis on bookwormism by CARL SMITH I MIGHT get in on this scholarship.

' Now everyone ought to make a study of that. Think of- what it will mean to you five years from now. Eddie Winterfield was lying on the couch idly thumbing through the University Catalogue. Here ' s one I might qualify for. ' Twenty-seven-fifty to be awarded to the student giving evidence of the most serious application to the problem of relating the tobacco habit in Kansas to the infant mortality rate in Pango- Pango. ' A knowledge of that is abso- lutely indispensable to a young man if he is to become a successful citizen of this great and glorious land of equal opportunity. You ' re a malcontent, Eddie, said his roommate. You expect too much out of life. I guess so, Dave. I have the common hell-I-could-make-the-honor-roll-if-I- tried attitude. And I guess statistics show that the upper percentage of the class in grades are the ones who later appear in Who ' s Who. Maybe I ' m wrong. Maybe I should try to keep near the front of the herd they call a ' class, ' which the profs drive through fields of textbooks, prodding them occasionally with sharp sticks called ' grade points ' to make them leap hurdles called ' tests, ' and keeping them to the straight and narrow with fences called ' required courses ' and ' courses for which you get no credit. ' Then I would be subsidized to induce me to keep up the good work namely, learning to be a cog on a big wheel without any oil. As it is, I, lacking suffi- cient funds, must venture out into the proverbial cold, cruel world about which I am not in the least disillusioned, and await my turn to fertilize the grass, so the cows can eat it, so the cogs on the wheel can eat the cows and postpone the day when they become fertilizer for the grass .. I hate to see you take that attitude, Eddie. I know how you feel about the ' grinds, ' as you call them. But if you ' ll forget some of your ideas, and try to take things more seriously, you ' ll find that you have a place waiting for you at the top if you apply yourself consci- entiously. The great American myth ! exclaimed Eddie. It looks like I ' ll never finish college, but I ' ve been alive for three years, and you never will be. Well, you stick around, keep your nose in a text, don ' t ever talk over things over a glass of beer, don ' t ever waste your time by just lying on your back and thinking. In short, you hang onto your scholarship and get your A. B., then go sit in your stuffy little office for the rest of your life and wonder what ' s wrong. No, you won ' t wonder what ' s wrong. You won ' t see beyond the walls of your office, and ignorance is bliss. When I die, I ' m going to demand a decent burial, but when you die, or when your corpse gets out of school, they ' ll keep it around for several years and tell you you have to make a living before you can get a death certificate. Eddie turned to pack while his room- mate shook his head sadly and uncom- prehendingly. Yes, it ' s been twenty years since I ' ve seen the old school. Been out of the States most of the time since I left, as a matter of fact; out of touch with the college completely. I just happened to be in this part of the country and realized it was Homecoming time, and I thought I ' d stay around a day or two and see if I could meet any of my old classmates. Well, here ' s my station. Enjoyed visiting with you. Goodbye. The man to whom these remarks had been addressed leaned across the aisle and spoke to his neighbor. Do you know who that fellow was that was just talking to me? Remember reading in the papers last year about a guy named Winterfield who found some big radium deposits on an island somewhere? That ' s him. Boy, is he in the money! Went to school here twenty years ago, back in ' 36, he said. Winterfield, huh? I remember when that story about him was in the papers a bookkeeper who works for me said this Winterfield guy was his roommate in college. Eddie walked down the street and reviewed fondly the familiar buildings. Here ' s where Grasset ' s used to be. Hello! Looks like they ' ve got a book- store there now. Oh, well, there ' s some other place where the boys go now. Twenty years is a long time. But Reederman ' s, he thought. That was farther on down the street. That would be there as long as the college. He would bet his last million on that. And there would be a goodly crowd there tonight Homecoming tomorrow, college yells and songs. Probably meet some of his old colleagues. But as he neared it, it seemed darkened and quiet. At last Eddie stood before it and sadly surveyed a vacant, deserted-looking interior through empty, dust-coated windows. As he made his way to the fraternity house, he wondered why the town seemed so devoid of students on the night preceding Homecoming. Eddie entered the fraternity house, and again listened in vain for evi- dence of the morrow ' s big game. He stepped in the library and a boy laid down a book and rose to greet him. I ' m Winterfield, said Eddie. Here in ' 36. First time I ' ve been back since then, and I thought I ' d drop in for Homecoming. Looks like it had slipped your mind. I imagine you will find things rather different, Mr. Winterfield, said the boy in what Eddie considered an irritat- ing tone. We have abandoned the some- what primitive and barbarous practices which I understand prevailed when you were in school. I have been making a study of the evolution of college culture and traditions, and I recall that even when you were here a survey made at that time by Dean Burner indicated the trend. As late as 1951, however, the reactionary element was so insistent in its demands that one person was retained to constitute the athletic department. Thirty- two was the largest number of spectators present at a game that year, and the telic processes of society ' Excuse me, murmured Eddie. Just remembered important phone call, and fled from the house. He headed toward the campus, feeling a little bewildered. He considered that the last stronghold of his kind of college life would be the Union Building, and accordingly headed for it. His entrance might almost be called cautious. He stopped inside the door and surveyed the bulletin board for (Continued on page 235 224 THE JAYHAWKER The K. U. pork barrel A well known student writer scares a few skeletons from the political closet by HUGH HADLEY THE past semester has seen a. bumper crop of politicians spring from the rich earth prepared by the overplus of warring points and the extremely diver- gent views adopted by the local political solons. Indeed, it sometimes seemed that where one of the pointing with pride and viewing with alarm fraternity was decapi- tated in his search for the golden fleece with which to cover the eyes of the electorate, two more would emerge Minerva-like, with a full-blown issue in each hand. So a bountiful supply of poli- ticians remains to confound the students with profound discussions of political manipulations and to divert them with their incessant jockeying for position in the spotlight. it was a good growing season, and many who started the year as the veriest tyros at political give and take grew to a prodigious stature feeding on the succulent foliage of the political tree. Their personnel is not entirely confined to the campus legislature, for they count among their number many embryonic lobbyists and string-pullers, who appear in the flowing robes of the statesman only when forced, and scuttle back to their figurative hotel room forthwith, ON THE HORNS OF A DILEMMA there to concoct a tasty porridge of rumor and intrigue. The Men ' s Student Council furnishes entertainment of a high order, for occasion has not been lacking for many political squabbles. One of the direst calamities that could befall any campus problem, it seems, is to have it thrown into campus politics. The statesmen have invested their avocation with such a THE BRONC ' S CHEER mystic aura of intrigue that the bickers of any project shiver as with the ague at the very mention. The council is divided strictly into two bailiwicks, the Pachacamacs and the Progressive Student Government League. Early in the year these two groups locked horns in a close and exciting struggle, with the Pachacamacs holding a slight edge, although several henchmen exhib- ited a rather lukewarm partisanship at times. But the status quo was overturned when three Pachacamacs were rendered hors de combat by the eligibility rule, and the PSGL ' s succeeded in appropri- ating their places. Since then the various PSGL measures have been going through the council like a greased pig through a fair crowd, while the Pachacamacs regis- ter various attitudes of disgust, impotence and resignation. Lyman Field presides over the antics of the legislatures with leonine grav- ity, and has managed to steer the PSGL measures to success generally, but he has been forced at times to call upon friend mouse, the slim PSGL majority, to gnaw apart the strands of red tape and save some of his pet projects from the limbo of the table or a worse fate. Others high in the PSGL councils are Herb Size- more, Logan Lane, Kenneth Born and Frank Allen. The Pachacamacs defer to George Wright, Vee Tucker, and Bob Williams. When the council wearies from cares of state its members relax by indulging (Continued on page 234 ) FEBRUARY, 1936 225 Granada announces outstanding films a HIGH-SPEED romance carried on in a spooky atmosphere under the everpresent threat of desperate gangsters and blazing guns, and leavened with side- splitting comedy situations, forms the basis of Seven Keys To Baldpate, with Gene Raymond. While Raymond does not discover the identity of her new love, Margaret Calla- han, until the very end of the film, this uncertainty adds spice to the love affair in this RKO Radio thriller. The story opens with Raymond, as a novelist seeking a quiet place to write a new book, coming to a deserted moun- tain inn on a midwinter night. Though he hopes to be alone, a series of unex- pected and mysterious visitors arrive and his solitude is turned into a turmoil, amid which the heroine remains almost as baffling as the rest. How the exciting circumstances are finally made clear and the lovers united, comprises the ending of this unique screen offering, rated as one of the year ' s outstanding films. The notable cast includes Erin O ' Brien-Moore, Eric Blore, Moroni Olsen, Grant Mitchell and Ray Mayer. Friday and Saturday, February 28 and 29, the Granada presents Ann Hard- ing and Herbert Marshall in The Lady Consents. This picture is reported to be the finest Ann Harding release since Holiday. It is a swift paced, smartly dialogued drama of a woman ' s war for possession told in a turbulent story of three souls in conflict. Starting Sunday, March 1, Wife Versus Secretary with Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow has a four- day run. The photoplay is taken from Faith Baldwin ' s Cosmopolitan story and has the nerve, color and appeal of the day. This is one of the outstanding attrac- tions of the month. Thursday through Saturday, March 5 to 7, Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O ' Sullivan and Eric Linden appear in The Voice of Bugle Ann. Starting March 8 for five days come Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Follow the Fleet. This picture is a broadside of seven new song hits including We Saw the Sea, Let ' s Face the Music and Dance, Let Yourself Go, I ' d Rather Lead a Band, Here I Am, But Where Are You, Get Thee Behind Me Satan, and I ' m Putting All My Eggs in One Basket. Friday, March 13, Shakespeare ' s im- mortal Midsummer Night ' s Dream will have a one-day run. This picture, which is three hours long, will be run as a road show with all seats reserved. The same prices will prevail throughout the country. Here is a chance to see one of the really great movies of all time. This picture was chosen as one of the ten best pictures of 1935 by the Young Reviewers of the National Association of 4-Star Clubs. Saturday, March 14, Rose Marie with Nelson Eddy and Jeannette Mac- Donald return for a day, and on Sunday The Music Goes Round opens for a four-day stand, featuring Harry Rich- man, Rochelle Hudson, and Walter Con- nolly. No student should miss seeing Paul Muni in The Story of Louis Pasteur, which opens March 19. Here is a great film portraying the life of a great scienti- fic genius a show which no educated person should miss. It is interesting to note that the Granada in 1935 ran seven out of the ten picked by the Young Reviewers of the National Association of 4-Star Clubs as o utstanding. It also ran ten out of the twelve selected by the National Screen Council, seven of the ten picked by the Nation ' s Screen Critics, and seven of the ten chosen by Liberty. Adv.

Phone 501 226 THE JAYHAWKER A NICE little head-standing contest was held at the KKG house one evening during the recent snowy weather, between Olive Adele Krehbiel and Charles I am the league (maybe it will soon be I was the .league ) Pipkin. Charles asserted his authority by winning that contest although there are rumors in the air that there may not be many more head-standing or any other contests between the two. And not because of the unconventional ity, because she was clad in a ski suit. Ann Hubbard, Ottawa ' s gift to the University, received a bitter pill while dancing at Gene Lloyd ' s Relax Varsity just before finals began. It happened when Ray O ' Brien, a freshman from Osawatomie, cut in on orie of these fast numbers. As he was pumping her around over the floor, he plied her with the kind of questions designed to give the little redhead ' s mind a temperature. It did, and when he asked if she were a freshman that was more than she could stand. . . . Most persons have found out in three years at K.U. that the pill is not so bitter if you don ' t swallow it., Speaking of Hubbard recalls a story dealing with the D.U. party. Because of a heart still stuttering over a last year ' s romance, Gene Lloyd showed up with Betty Tholen. During the course of the evening ' s entertainment, opportunity knocked and Gene went out with another. When he came back, he was badly splotched up with lipstick. Of course the usual cross-examining took place, but Gene averred that the tell tale marks were the result of an innocent game of itsy-bitsy . . . pretty old, but who cares? Why this story should bring in Hubbard ' s name is more than I can say. Jane Givens from over to the Theta house comes through again. One after- noon, she took a phone call and was asked to have Catherine Hartley call a number. After she hung up she forgot whether the number was 957 or 975, so she called back 957 and asked if any- body there had called for Hartley. As it was dinner time at 957, Phi Delt house, the announcement was made to the assem- bled group. No one admitted making the call, so it must have been the wrong number, or one of the boys who ate on the next shift. Givens didn ' t get campused Hartley hasn ' t found out yet. Guest night at the Pi Phi house one night found Duaine Tubbs dining there with Ann Horton, the girl who drives his car. With dessert came a large box of candy which announced the Tubbs-Hor- ton engagement. Jelly-beans and gum- drops it was, sent by those smart fellows at the Sigma Chi house. A short time later, a messenger boy brought in a tele- gram for Tubbs also from the boys but Drano foxed them when he had it charged to the house. Tubbs in himself is proof enough that Ann can take a joke, but with a car for inducement . . . After receiving an empty box from the florist and fearing a terrible mistake had occurred, Betty Eidson, presented herself to her date fully equipped with a corsage on the night of the Theta Christmas party. The only thing wrong with the posies were their age ; they had been used by her roommate the night before. . . . Nothing can daunt Eidson. Nevertheless, she was very happy when she learned that it was just a prank and that her date had the corsage with him all the time. When someone cut down the hedge trees bordering the steps leading up from the Kappa path, they nearly caused the loss of one George Guernsey. Shortly after grubbing took place, George, in his usual blind way, was walking down the steps with Mary Louise Kanaga, Kappa (pending at this time), when one of his own jokes bowled him over the edge. George, you know, who suffers from a Glenn Cunningham tongue, insists that Kanaga pushed him over, but take your choice. Whether it is the hospitality of the fraternity, or whether it is the nerve of the person, is a matter of personal opinion, but Sigma Nu Bob Corey cer- tainly took the prize a short time ago when he was invited to dinner at the Delta Tau house and showed up with a date for which there is an old saying, you cannot use your friends and have them, too. Flash Betas establish another tradi- tion. This year same as last year the Betas ' water system went wrong on the afternoon before the Turkey Pull. This year same as last year the pink and blue ribbon boys did their scrubbing next door at the Sigma Chi Hotel. The Turkey Pull is a tradition also. Then there was John Tyler who said, The only thing that holds me back on this Hill is the fact that I am a fresh- man. It appears that he might not be far from right considering the recent date he had with Pheebe Woodbury, Kappa pledge. Pheebe is now equipped with that perfect composure that comes with a guilty conscience. FEBRUARY, 1936 227 Now will you try to tell me the answer? Harry O ' Riley, who hails from the farm, although the only thing he ever raised was his hat, dated Pat Lyrnan ... she left school. He dated Betty Eidson ... she left school. Now he is dating Esther Grant, and it is reported that she is also leaving soon. Jack Richardson, playboy and ladies ' man who sleeps at the Sigma Chi house, is a versatile lad, and should have a well rounded education by the time he leaves the University. The only one reported to have been kissed under the Pi Phi mistletoe this year Mary Ruth Pyle, Betty Jane Campbell, Jane Heffner, Betty Hogue, and others and now he has decided to take leave of the Pi Phi house and try another. So he has been spending all the time possible making a play for Teal Bottom at the Kappa house. The other night he entered the house after having been absent five minutes before dinner time to the tune of, Here ' s to you Brother Richardson. So you see, he has been well received. Jack also runs the 100-yard dash. Mary Jane Hoyland is one Kappa sophomore who apparently has retained the smooth work- ing system which she acquired last year. Before Christmas, she expressed the wish for a wrist watch and Santa in the form of Phi Gam Carl- ton Dickinson presented her with one. However, as Mary Jane was going quite steadily with another boy, she decided it was only fair that she keep but one of the presents. So she approached Carlton and offered to return his little gift, but no, and Carlton passed it off with the remark that he had given lots of girls watches. Incidentally and consequently, the watch is now adorning the wrist of Barbara Ann, freshman sister of the illustrious Mary Jane. Sort of a family conquest. When things get to the state of being that a young man is tied down by one girl to the point that he can ' t even go to a show with one of his male friends without being called out before the show is half finished, ' tis time that something should be done about it. A little incident of this kind occurred a while back when Paul Smart, college type of Delta Tau Delta, went out one night. After settling himself back in a nice soft seat for an enjoyable evening, he was startled to hear his name called from the operator ' s micro- phone. Thinking it might be serious, he rushed out to find out the trouble. There he met an angry theatre manager, who had been heckled by a voice over the phone into calling our hero from the theatre. For after said voice had been told that patrons are not called out except for emergency, that was exactly the very excuse she gave. After talking to the little lady for a time, Paul glanced around to note that the manager ' s face indicated that it was time for him to go. So he tried to live up to the emergency story, rushing back into the theatre, getting his friend and leaving in a hurry. Alice Marie Meyn had just called to tell him that she was all alone in a big house. This story might mean something because I see that Paul is not wearing his Delt pin anymore.

George Cochrane wore new shoes to a party in the city and when his feet got to hurting so badly, he broke down and decided to drown his troubles. He ended up by compromising and gave them swimming lessons instead ... It isn ' t the regular drinking that hurts one, George, it ' s that awful habit you have of drinking between drinks . . . Betty Hogue was a firm believer that a person ' s dreams are surpressed desires ; so was one of her instructors, and when finals came along, Betty got along great, because he had had a dream about her just before that and you know what psychology does to you. There ' s a general understanding, among girls particularly, that no one can be a better chump than a man. At least, this fact was proved some weeks ago by those tricky little misses at the Theta house. It seems that the stress and strain of studying for finals became too great one night, and so one of them got a bright idea for a means of relaxation. For one hour the boys at the fraternity houses were heckled, annoyed or what have you by a strange, high-pitched, squeaky voice (the effect secured, I am told, by holding the nose very tightly between the thumb (Continued on pagf 231) by RIP VAN WINCHELL 228 THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes by HIM UP TO THE present time yours truly has failed in every effort to get any inkling as to what the men of Kansas will be wearing for spring and summer. Perhaps the fact that the temperature is hovering around the zero mark and snow covers the ground tends to have some effect upon the reluctance of our campus style-setters to burst forth in any spring finery. However, a little research into what is being offered here and at other university style centers should afford a very good idea of the trends. First of all, gaberdine should be the accepted fabric for number one position in suitings. Largely through its general acceptance by Eastern university under- graduates, it has become a two-season fabric, namely, spring and summer. This season the variety of pattern and color in gaberdine is surprising not only the familiar herringbones, two-color and ir- idescent types, but overchecks, shadow stripes, and pencil stripes as well. In the rougher fabrics there ' ll be even more boldness of pattern and color than before. In all fabrics the sport idea is taking two definite trends, either of which tend to be very smart. First of all there is the very plain, three-button, sack coat model, with or without small shoulder gussets, and sporting side vents or not, as desired. At the other extreme, one will find the sport backs completely outdoing their former selves. The gusset shoulder models are contesting the belted and shirred models for the spotlight of pop- ularity. One of the new shirred models is carried out in a dressed-up Norfolk Jacket number, called, by some, the Rumba Jacket. The yoke and shirring is not only in the back, but follows across the chest in front, giving an extremely draped effect. A plenty smart-appearing suit. Double-breasted sport backs, while very cleverly gotten up, will remain in the minority, most places. Our Princeton authority gives them about a two in ten ratio, whereas they ' ll probably run about one in three here, in the sport back ca- tegory, or one in four. Accessories, that is, shirts especially, will really come into their own. The first of these, which was the point to point stripe featured by Arrow in the current (Continued on page 238) in gaberdines, worsteds, and all the other smart spring fab- rics of your choice. And don ' t forget that there are plenty of sport backs, too from $21.50 FEBRUARY, 1936 229 Feminine fashions by HER WITH the cold weather still hanging on, and with no hope of balmy spring weather (for awhile, at least) we girls are almost at our wit ' s end as far as the what-to-wear question goes. Between-seasons ' fashions are really quite a problem; it ' s almost too early to wear new spring frocks, and our winter clothes at this point are getting -to be an old worn-out story. However, as usual, the Kansas girls still look their best, regard- less of cold winds and bad weather, and we ' ll wager that when the first warm breaths of spring blow forth the Hill will become a colorful parade ground of all that Vogue and everybody else has to offer. It seems that suits, as always before, are again the thing for a well-dressed spring. Doris Delano, Kappa, wears one of dark brown, single breasted, with a loose belted bi-swing back. For similar sporty purposes. Sally Jo Demsey, Pi Phi, nas a dark brown corduroy coat, which is belted and extremely tailored. This sort of thing is always correct, smart and in good taste. One of the smartest new spring knits we ' ve witnessed is Elizabeth La Rue ' s, Kappa. It ' s a royal blue, short-sleeved dress, trimmed around the neck and sleeves with white. Betty Ruth Smith, Thtta, always well-groomed, wears a yellow sweater to school, an example of fine choice in campus clothes. It is pleated in the back, and at the neck is worn a matching yellow scarf. Also quite appropriate for school is Betty Tholen ' s, Kappa, white blouse. Its beautiful tailor- ing creates that well-groomed look, so necessary in sports clothes. Kathryn Turner, new Pi Phi pledge, is very strik- ing in an outfit of gray and aquamarine. Her knit dress is of aquamarine; her hat, shoes, gloves, and bag of gray; and her coat, three-quarter length, is of a blue-gray caracul. We believe that evening coats worn by the girls of today are the most sensible and practical designed for many years. The black velvet one Betty Lou McFar- land, Pi Phi, wears is exceedingly simple of line; long and flowing, it has a monk head lined inside with white lapin. Along different lines is the one Martha Davis, Theta, chooses; it is a three- quarter length cape of white fur, tied around the neck with white silk cord. With a white formal, she makes a knock- out appearance. Formal wear reflects a young lady ' s personality and choice in clothes more than any other manner of dress. Take, for example, the glowing ice-blue satin one worn by Barbara Simpson, Kappa (Continued on page 233 ) sir- FEBRUARY, 1936 231 Have you read?

And there they made such a hit that Mr. Schwahn received a telegram from the M-G-M officials saying: We were very happy to entertain Miss Skolout and Mr. Burgert and will be happy to entertain any of your prize winners in the future. After visiting five hours at the studio, the couple went to Hollywood that after- noon and shopped before leaving that night. On the bus coming home with them were the popularity queens of Pitts- burg and Emporia State Teachers Col- leges who also were awarded free trips to California. Now that Miss Skolout and Mr. Bur- gert are once more in Winter after their taste of Spring, they talk of Cali- fornia in the same superlative manner as do such loyal Californians as Peggy Ghormeley, Charles Godfrey and Rich- ard Blanchard. Mr. Burgert says: I cer- tainly am going to California to visit again. But Miss Skolout goes further. She says: I am going to live in Cali- fornia. CHRISTMAS VESPERS (Continued from page 222) Wilkins, newly added member of the Fine Arts voice faculty, which appro- priately introduced the second tableau, Isaiah Proclaims the Coming Messiah, a striking group of eleven under palm trees, with the tall figure of the prophet, arms stretched high, in the center, and the others in subdued light in front and blazing bright light at the back, grouped themselves about him in wrapt attention. The part of Isaiah was taken by Arvid Jacobson. Two musical numbers followed, a modern and interesting instrumental Serenade by Goosens, played by Karl Kuersteiner, violin, Bruce Lamb, flute, and Mervyn Anderson, harp ; and a melodious and appealing duet from Wilson, And There Were Shepherds, sung by Mr. Wilkins and his wife, Marie Wilkins, with instrumental accompani- ment for string quartet, harp, and organ effectively arranged by Professor Skilton of the Fine Arts faculty. This introduced tableau number three, Shepherds on the Plain, a night picture with a startling background of living dark blue color, with five shepherds grouped about the glowing fire while one pointed in aston- ishment to the Star in the heavens. The University String Quartette next gave a performance of the lively polka movement from the Smetana Quartette in E minor which was followed by the final choral number, When I View the Mother by W. R. Voris, in which a humming chorus of eight parts supplied the background to the beautiful soprano solo sung by Meribah Moore of the Fine Arts voice faculty. The final tableau, as in other years, was grouped about the manger from which the light flooded the faces of the Madonna, Joseph, the three kings and the two attendants who stood in adoration and worship. This picture was presented this year in fuller light than in the past to show the many fine colors in the robes of those taking part. To the strains of Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, the choir moved slowly from the stage, this time meeting in the center aisle and leaving the auditorium in a long column reaching from the stage to the back corridors of the hall. Gradually as they moved out the candles on the stage were extinguished and the stage and auditorium brought back to the soft blue light that marked the opening of the service. Much credit should go to the many who in various ways contributed to the success of the service. Raymond Eastwood and Karl Mattern provided considerable extra scenery and were in direct charge of lighting and color arrangements. Rosemary Ketcham with Marjorie Whitney, Betty Schwartz, and Katherine Watts were responsible for the elaborate costumes and effective make-up of the many characters in the tableaux cast. The First Presbyterian, First Chris- tian, and Trinity Episcopal churches kindly loaned choir vestments for the service and the vesting of the large choir was in charge of Mrs. C. W. Straffon and Mrs. Charles Gaumer. LORDS OF CREATION (Continued from page 186) of universal suffrage by participating in Hill politics. Some of the boys even went so far as to become affiliated with one of the political parties. (However, as freshmen, there was little chosing to be done, merely instructions from the uppers. ) Prompted by Papa Lyman Mark Anthony Field, the independents and Oread-Kayhawks flocked to form the coalition, whose leader was to preach the Funeral Oration of the Pachacamac Machine. The Pachacamacs were duly alarmed by the activities of the upstarts, and the machine set about to annihilate the (Continued on page 233) TELL THE WORLD WITH PHOTO- GRAPHS D ' Ambra Photo Service 644 Mass.

In spite of intensive cam- paigning by both parties, the honors and offices were equally distributed between the two worthy (?) parties. The returns placed the following persons in office: Phil Raup, Pachacamac, president; John Nichols, PSGL, treasurer; Jack Towns- hend, PSGL, and Martin Withers, Pacha- camac, dance managers. Despite the scan- dal of last year ' s bitter denouncements of the sorority combines, they functioned well enough to give Barbara Humphrey the vice-presidency, and Dorothy Cald- well the secretaryship. (Of course any misgivings which the girls might have had for being elected by such a system, were forgotten when they were presented Annie Oakleys to all the varsities.) Even though the officers might have been led to believe that they were to fill positions on which the actual existence of their class depended, by the tremend- ous fuss and wholesale throat-cutting of the election which put them into office, they were destined for disappointment. Their greatest contribution to the welfare of the university, in general, was accom- plished when they were photographed for this publication, and their pictures break a page of type. True, the president of the class assumed the distinctive right of becom- ing an honorable man by being allowed to sit with Mark Field and his equally honorable accomplices of the Men ' s Stu- dent Council. Although he may enter in upon the deliberations of this august body, he has no decisive privileges for he is denied the power of vote. The vice- president and secretary are members of the WSGA and co-operate with that organization in subscribing to the K Book, getting co-eds in on time, and enforcing the new set of rush rules which were published last spring. The treasurer has no responsibilities at all, and the dance managers merely endorse the orchestra which is selected by the varsity dance manager and decide whether the posters should be in red or black letter- ing for the one big party which bears the name of their class. Yet the class cannot be blamed for the status of their officers or for their inactivity. The same situation prevails in all the other classes, with the possible exception of the seniors. It is merely a vivid reflection of the weakness of Uni- versity politics. Since the class is no diff- erent than any of its predecessors, it has accepted this position without question. The sophomores can well be thought of as a class who have become well accus- tomed to the college environment. With one year of experience behind them, they feel equipped to go through the remain- ing years of their college life with con- tentment for the present and little con- cern for the future. FEMININE FASHIONS (Continued from pJge 229 pledge. Over the dress is a short fitted jacket, tailored with stitched lapels. Bert} ' Eidson, Theta, looks very pert in a black taffeta formal with black velvet trimming. The skirt is trimmed with a series of the velvet bands, and is very full at the bottom. Catherine Dunkle, Alpha Chi, also wears black, but she chooses satin, trimmed around the square- cut neck with white pique, which, by the way, is one of the important features in trim right now. One of the loveliest examples of the Grecian style of formal we ' ve seen is the choice of Ruth Patter- son, Kappa. It is stimulatingly new, being finely pleated at the top and hav- ing wider knife pleats for the long, graceful skirt. Have you noticed Margaret Pyle ' s, Pi Phi, new headdress? She ' s wearing bangs now (at least she was when we saw her), and very becomingly, too. And don ' t you think Alice Marie Meyn, Chi Omega, looks strikingly similar to Bette Davis with her braid? Martha Dodge. Kappa, has one of the best looking spring dresses we ' ve seen navy blue sheer wool, with raglan sleeves, trimmed around the curls and neck with a piping of white pique. To add a little more color, a bunch of red, white and blue flowers adorns the neck- line. An important phase of a schoolgirl ' s wardrobe is a sport coat, in which Jean Patmor, Pi Phi pledge, has excellent choice. Hers is soft plaid wool, with a huge beaver collar, strictly tailored. And for real warmth, Avanell Bushmeyer, of Gamma Phi, wears mittens with vari- colored fingers of red, blue, yellow and other bright hues. 234 THE JAYHAWKER CONVENTION CITY (Continued from page 195) Lawrence where they visited the campus of the University and that of Haskell Institute. At the close of the congress, the officers were chosen and an agendum was drawn for the coming year. At this time, too, Southern Methodist University and Texas Christian University were awarded the privilege of being co-hosts of next year ' s congress to be held at Dallas. The spirit of student initiative and the readiness of students to face the respon- sibilities of the world today, as exempli- fied by their actions in this congress, are widely praised by those who have had occasion to keep in touch with the work of the National Student Federation. Although the efforts of the delegates towards peace and their liberal attitude upon questions of national policy have been the targets of much derision by Hearst and a few others, the Federation has proceeded upon its task with the unqualified endorsement of many leading Americans, who feel as did President Roosevelt when he telegraphed to a NSFA Congress: The purposes which inspire the college youth of today will determine largely the value of human resources tomorrow. The opportunity and the responsibility are great. THE K. U. PORK BARREL (Continued from page 224) in a bit of legislative horseplay to soothe nerves jangled by the incessant clamor of those without the gates for legislative largesse or a special resolution. When one is sent off to seclusion to devise a bill he is not forgotten, but is given a vote of confidence from time to time. Likewise, when some lawmaker becomes entangled in legal verbiage his face is saved by the same act of mercy. But realizing the stern necessity for council action, they set their faces resolutely toward the Administration Building and grind out the bills. Three major subjects have occupied most of the council ' s time. The ques- tion of maintenance of traditions, the embarrassing recurrence of the campaign economy pledge and the establishment of the student forum scheme have been the tasks which they attack with vigor weekly. The University was also host to the convention of the National Student Federation Association, held during the Christmas holidays in Kansas City. Last year ' s council secured the convention for the University, and in a secret party caucus appropriated the money to under- write it. The University sent four dele- gates, and yet had a surplus remaining from the $400 appropriated to under- write the convention. The female of the species proved not less adept at the political game than the male last fall, when after failing to pro- cure administrative benison for their plan of electioneerin g, they went ahead any- way, and a new coalition succeeded in electing two independent girls to fresh- man offices. These girls have been seek- ing ever since to amend the constitution of the W.S.G.A. to permit electioneer- ing, but have not succeeded as yet. Sev- eral sororities ran afoul of the Pan- Hellenic rules at rushing season last fall, and were brought to a sharp halt by the imposition of an early Sunday closing hour by the judiciary committee, headed by Gertrude Field. One of the most delicate situations facing the Men ' s Council was that aroused by the annual return of the traditions bogey. The brunt of the tradi- tions has always been borne by the fresh- men, and the duty of keeping them alive seems to have devolved on the K-Club. Freshmen have always objected strenu- ously to this, as a matter of course, but last fall they were especially militant in their insubordination. The whole matter was brought to a head when the K-Club attempted to chastise one of its own members for refusing to aid them in a spanking before a football crowd. Amidst a general handclapping the K-Club with- drew from its agreement with the council. But the full horror of the situation did not dawn upon anyone until they realized that now there were neither any tradi- tions, nor any method of enforcement. The K-Club was regarded somewhat as the Indians who refused to take back the country in the dark hours of the depres- sion. Nonplussed, the council and the freshmen each appointed a committee to search out a tradition that would age quickly, but neither has found any that will endure without some method of enforcement. The traditions will always be anemic without enforcement, and there will always be a number of fresh- men who cannot reconcile themselves to the prospect of being paddled for not wearing a baseball cap or walking on the wrong side of the street. So it seems that they have reached an impasse. The coun- cil is precariously perched upon the horns of a dilemma, from which it will be pre- cipitated at any moment should someone inadvertently inquire what has happened to the traditions. The PSGL ' s promised, as one condi- tion of their election to the council, to reduce council expenditures. The first few meetings they evinced the customary zeal (Continued on page 242) BETTER SNAPSHOTS That Last a Lifetime and Cost Less ROLL DEVELOPED AND PRINTED 25c REPRINTS 2c, 3c AND 4c EACH A Million Kodak Owners Will Tell You They Get Better Pic- tures Quicker from Victor Send Us Your Next Film Victor Photo Service 2302 EAST TWELFTH STREET Kansas City, Mo.

The Society for the Suppression of Whistl- ing, he read, will meet at 3:30 in room ... Eddie peered into the lounge room. Looks like the Union League Club, he muttered. He walked into the room, where several students of both sexes, deeply engrossed in books, were seated in chairs about the room. Several of them turned and frowned at the noise made by his leather heels as he walked across the stone floor. He guiltily came up on his tiptoes. In the recreation room, where he remembered billiard and ping-pong tables had been, a few groups of stu- dents had collected, conversing in low tones. Maybe, thought Eddie, these are some of the reactionaries. He moved closer to one of the groups to eavesdrop on their conversation. The sociology professor, he heard a voice saying, mentioned a rather interesting custom today. It seems that several years ago here at the University it was not unusual for men to become quite exercised over the matter of obtaining the permission of a member of the oppo- site sex to escort her about at night, pay- ing her way into dances, which were not then practiced only by the illiterate, and cinemas and the like. Called the custom ' dating. ' How absurd, said a feminine voice. One week later the chairman of the faculty senate was addressing a meet- ing of that body. I am in receipt, he told them, of a letter from a former student of this University. Enclosed in the letter was a check for one million dollars. The money is to be used for a purpose which may result in relieving some of the pressure and criticism of the people of the state who are not in sym- pathy with the modern trends in educa- tion. It establishes a fund from which one hundred scholarships, known as Win- terfield Scholarships, are to be awarded each year to students who comply with the following requisites: Make no grade above a C during the year ; go to a dance at least every other week ; drink a coke in the Union fountain at least two times a week; never go to the library without a date ; keep a copy of Whiz Bang and one of Dime Detective Thrillers on the desk ; and shout ' Rally! ' at every possible op- portunity. Hurray! shouted eight of the ten professors before they could check them- selves.

She drinks well but for effect, to lift her out of the feeling of ennui. Disdaining the commonality and the natural ways of having fun, her pose of synthetic sophistication and her icy reserve marks her as stupid and inane. To the discriminating male Imasnob is the type of girl who might well be disregarded without incurring the feeling that something had been overlooked. Imasnob has few dates. Her doltish- ness and witless patter are not suffi- cient recompense for even the minimum of masculine attention. The dates she does have are usually with vain males who like to bask in what reflected glory her pose might shed. Consequently, her amatorial technique, derived from story book heroines is as unsatisfying as her personality itself. Crackpot finally severed relations with Imasnob because he couldn ' t stomach her ceaseless slurs of her acquaintances. With her unmerited feeling of superior- ity, she felt constantly called upon to make acerb remarks, unsparingly, of everybody. Her hypocrisy and deceit soon palled, leaving an unpleasant taste. As to looks she was brittle and hard ; ornamental, yes; mentally speaking, superficial ; physically, sinuous as a piece of gristle; and psychically, rubberoid. And what did you say little girls were made of ? One of the most unsolvable problems that faced Crackpot with increasing inten- sity the longer he stayed in the institu- tion, was the appropriateness of the word beauty that is applied each year to a number of beauty queens, selected arbi- trarily as representative of the most strik- ing pulchritude. Judging from some of the judges ' selections, there is little won- der that pictures of our beauties are the laughing-stock of other campuses. Most of the beauty contests are mere farces. Politics and discrimination are rife. Per- haps the most trouble lies in the fact that the judges have only photographs to choose from. If credit were given where it is due, praise would be bestowed upon these masters of artifice, the photog- raphers, who, by ingenious methods all their own, can change massive featured, buck toothed, bovine figured females into luscious looking creatures physically qualified for a place in a chorus (third row) ; of course, there are exceptions, but more common is the general rule. From one type to another went Crack- pot. For a while he tried the athletic type. Amanda was her name. She was Amazonian and leggy, with a voice like the baying of a hound on the trail of a coon. Her personality was brusque, and she was as emotionally impersonal as a process server. When she did love, she she was dog-like in her devotio n. All in all, she was a far cry from what Crack- pot had idealized. About all she offered was a comfortable companionship, a spirit of hale camaraderie and a welcome repose from the subreption and deceit of her catty sisters. He whisked from her to one of the intellectual type. She was doltish and ignorant of any topic save those erudite ones that occupied her immediate atten- tion. She was a woman of moral scruple ; pseudo ratiocination directed her every move. Shrewd and cunning were her motives so far as grades were concerned. Her scruples did not prevent her from using others as tools to further her own ends. She can always be identified as the fairly pretty girl who toadies up to the smartest boy in class and takes out an implied lease on his brains for the dura- tion of the course. Unawed by her super- ficiality, and thoroughly disgusted with the sham interest and apple polishing technique which she uses to pump grades out of her teachers, Crackpot decided that the body is more attractive than the mind and he blithely went his way. Summed up, this type of girl is little more than a mental parasite. One after another were tried and cast aside, the myriads of mousy creatures, unintelligent creatures, charming dancers with mechanical minds, superegotistical playwrights, authoresses, actresses and sci- entists to be.

The time-worn conception that a student smoking a pipe was Joe Col- lege personified is rapidly disappearing as more and more it becomes smart to be seen in the company of a good brtiyer. KAUFMANN BROS. BONDY The Hill can boast several very .fine collections and, I believe, a pipe club may be seen in every house, whether organ- ized (with ritual) or simply by common understanding of mutual appreciation. Pipe-smoking has been and will con- tinue to be a simple, but none the less certain, source of real enjoyment to men beset with problems and ' worries in -a work-a-day world. LARGE ' S CAFE we specialize in SHRIMP SPECIAL SANDWICHES AND SHORT ORDERS 18 East 9th St. CAMPUS CLOTHES (Continued from page 228) Esquire, was rapidly accepted and fore- cast the trend of plenty of color and contrast in shirtings, as well as in ties. Believe it or not, the college man is wearing a hat again. At least, so a survey conducted by a trade magazine shows. Principal among the spring offer- ings in hats will be those light weight numbers, in mixtures and light colors. One of the manufacturers has gone so far as to design a smart snap brim num- ber in a brown Glen Urquhart plaid. Best of all it ' s plenty snappy looking, too. Don ' t be too surprised if you see some of the more venturesome appearing in colored shoes. In fact rumor has it that there are already a couple of pair of blue crepe sole numbers merely wait- ing for the first seasonable day of wear. Last, but by far the most colorful, will be the showings in sox. By late spring, most any color or combination thereof will be correct, the only requirement be- ing that there be plenty of it. So fellers, here ' s a chance to resurrect those vivid Christmas numbers that you ' ve been won- dering what to do about. THE SOCIAL WHEEL (Continued from page 215) That, my friends, is his worry and also ours. Not to cast brickbats or anything, but it seems very poor taste to wish Royer success in his venture. Enough of the professional interest ! The final fling of the semester came on the week end before the exams. Gene ' Personality Lloyd announced the final Ex-lax, Keep Regular Varsity. Par- don, the title is really Relax. Louie Kuhn was invited to serve the music, and he really dished up a pretty fine mix. As a matter of fact, the dance turned out to be one of the best of its kind we ' ve had this year. The only objection we found was that the gaiety stooges were too noticeable. Otherwise, everything went off very smoothly. Some of you students ought to try these dances. They ' re all right at times. There you are, Mr. Lloyd. Well, our material has run out, and so I think we ' ll follow it. Just let us indulge ourselves in personalities here. WILL ROYER SUCCEED? BIG SIX TITLE (Continued from page 199) inch center became eligible for play the second semester, but according to reports was persuaded to confine his attention to his work in track, indicating that Dr. Allen ' s pre-season moaning about lack of a sufficiently tall center was another bear story, or that he had found a way to do without, or both. The first game of the semester found Iowa State the hosts to Kansas for the rivals ' second and last meeting of the season. The Jayhawkers won going away, 42 to 25, in as easy a manner as in the two teams ' first meeting, with Ray Ebling leading the attack, netting five baskets and four charity tosses for a total of 14 points and the lead for the first time this season in the individual scoring. A few may recall that this Kan- sas star led the individual scorers in 1934 and 1935, and, although facing more competition this year, seems headed for another title. Fred Pralle hit his stride and four baskets to follow Ebling in scoring. Although playing without the services of Torvaald Holmes, star guard, the Cyclones still were helpless against the strong Kansas defense, and remained in fifth position in Big Six standings. A slight question mark in the form of the Oklahoma Sooners was obli- terated as the Jayhawkers chalked up their sixth victory of the season, 43 to 36, and settled once and for all the point as to whether or not they could conquer any and all conference opposition. Kansas was as hot as the fire that burned down the United Brethren church in Lawrence the same night, and with Ebling scoring (Continued on page 240) EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING PAXTON ' S SHOE SHOP 410 W. 9th , CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES 1025 Massachusetts Telephone 1051 FEBRUARY, 1936 WHIRLIGIGS (Continued from page 236) was too short to bother with good girls and society ' s censorship was too strict to permit attention to the bad. There are a few outstanding grievances that are applicable quite generally to col- lege women everywhere. Particularly out- standing is the way in which they wear their clothes. Crackpot always maintained that you could pick out a Kappa from the rest of the Kansas co-eds because the seams in her sheer silk stockings always followed a plumb line exactly down the middle of her shapely calf. It is too bad that more women aren ' t as meticulous in their dress. A great many women, who are otherwise perfectly appointed, spoil the whole effect by allowing the seams in their stockings to resemble the stripes on a barber ' s pole. Another new fad that is particularly repulsive in some instances is the prac- tice of rolling the stocking to a point approximately two inches below the knee- cap, which of course does not allow enough margin of play for the swish and sweep of the slightly longer sports skirt. How many times have you been sitting in the library and had your gaze inadvert- ently fall upon two or three inches of bare, hairless, bony shank, a spectacle that couldn ' t even be accounted seductive by a sailor on shore leave? Again, it was perfectly all right to Crackpot for the women to try to usurp the place of the dominant male, but it is stretching a good point too far for a woman to pretend to attractiveness with the smudgy etchings of a hirsute growth upon her upper lip. You culpable women ought to patronize the Zip (it ' s off because it ' s out) people, the Gillette Corporation or a female barber in order to restore the kissableness to your blem- ished features. Crackpot gazed and still his wonder grew that a woman ' s small head could carry all she thought she knew. Said he, Of course it was fun to be fooled, but it ' s a lot more fun to know. So he withdrew himself to the life of a celibate for the rest of his college career. CANDY AND CIGARS (Continued from page 220) usually wait and join up with someone far from the Kansas campus. So we can now fully see that cigars and candy can and may end as it should and also that no candy and cigars can end the same swell way. It is usually brought on by that first smell of spring in the air that fills the classroom with a yearning for someone to share your feelings. Oh, well, here it is spring again, and, as usual, such trifles as school and exams are easily disregarded in favor of this important matter called spring. Gosh, isn ' t college fun?

The books you loved, A moment of twisting, writhing anguish, The dreams you dreamt; When, with eyes averted, You told me your love was gone; An agony of sharp pain, Of bitter grief. When you hurriedly murmured The night we tramped through the rain, So exultantly happy, That we were a little afraid; Fearing that our love, So beautiful, so triumphant, so glorious, Something of everlasting friendship ; Alight some day be destroyed. And then it was over, You were gone, And my heart lay tranquilly still. Encased in its own oppressive coffin. I sat before the fire We drank deeply of happiness that night. And I remember, With ivhat clumsy tenderness You wiped a jew tears from my face ; Tears born of a joy so deep, And a wonder so great, And dazedly watched the flickering darts That you and your love were mine. of flame, Sternly forbidding myself to Succumb to torturing thoughts. But the very fibers of my heart Seemed to throb, Desperately striving to live again. Mocking derisively my struggling will. And poignant memories Burst forth, Shattering the walls of their tomb. Racing through my whole body. A shuddering sob escaped from me. And I gave myself up to Remembering every little part of you. Remembering your calm strength. And the glint in your eye When you were angry. Oh, God, take this sharp, searing pain away I cannot endure it longer. The semblance of an ironic smile Distorts my face. And slowly, slowly, My blood seems to drain from my soul; Each drop a bitter Reminiscence of your sworn fidelity. My heart stirs once more ; A last desperate effort. It is pleading to live again, Hope again, Perhaps love again. But finally, blessed numbness, And it is dead. ESTHER GRANT BOARD OF REGENTS (Continued from pagf 181) approved by educators as securing unified management. The Kansas Board tries to view the five schools as a unit and to develop each along lines best fitted to its objects and its location. The Board knows no politics in its deliberations. The mem- bers devote their efforts to the better- ment of the institutions and have the earnest co-operation of the heads of .the schools and the faculties. Many policies adopted apply to all the schools, others apply to individual institutions. In the former list are such provisions as sabbattical leave and uniformity of forms in submitting budgets for the approval or revision by the Board. For nearly eleven years the people of Kansas have seen the operation of the single Board of Regents system in control of its State schools. The earnest spirit of the faculties and the fine morale of the more than ten thousand students the largest enrollment in the history of the State are creditable to the educational progress of the commonwealth. BIG SIX TITLE (Continued from page 238) 19 points, could not be stopped. For the first time this season, the Kansas star took the lead in the individual scoring race with an average of 13 points per game, and bids fair to head the goal getters for the third consecutive year. Oklahoma put up a stubborn fight, especially in the first half, but the Kansas offense was equally as stubborn and a little more effective, and the Jayhawkers gained a two-game lead over Nebraska with the season more than half over. So it appears at this stage that Kansas cannot be deprived of the title as it was last year by an unfortunate schedule, and another link in Dr. Allen ' s chain of championships will be forged. It is to be hoped, however, that the players will not award themselves the crown until they actually earn it, as most of the Kansas supporters have already done, for therein lies their greatest chance of being upset, as the football team discovered after a glance at the Scoreboard following the Iowa State game this season.

Although Mr. Maloney at times seems inexperienced in theatre, his voice is exceptionally pleasing. Mr. Kimble and Mr. Wulff have had praises in these columns; therefore, it is only necessary to say that their charac- terizations were of the usual- fine quality. The poor acting was offset by the excellent direction of Mary Myers Elliott. Her ability has been shown in past productions when she has been sup- plied with better material.

HOTEL ELDRIDGE BARBER SHOP I ' M EARNING MY WAY (Continued from page 216) that they return to college they also return to playing. It is a job which they would rather be doing than any other. Nor are many of the players contem- plating continuing in the ranks of pro- fessional playing after they leave school. Some of them will, of course. But a majority will not, several of them even going so far as to speak frankly of the disadvantages of such an occupation. But there are few of the men who do not stick with the bands for their summer ' s work. The present organiza- tions played almost continuously in the same spots this past summer season. One of them was in Estes Park, another was in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, while a third played at a lake resort. To return to their activities on the Kansas campus, there are improvements which the bands would like to see made. The one which they think of most favorably is that of inaugurating several dinner-dance spots at popular student restaurants. The plan is not a new one, being in vogue at 2 number of nearby colleges and universities, notable among which are Missouri and Oklahoma. A band would be engaged to play regularly every evening for several hours around dinner time. Their remu- neration would be in a certain amount of trade per day with the restaurant in which they were engaged. Thus, the scheme would be financially beneficial to the musicians who were working their ways through school. But such a plan has never been allowed to be used at Kansas, there being a university restriction against it. Whether this is a tradition or not can only be a matter of conjecture. The boys, however, hope that it is a tradition rather than a policy. The former, they say, has more chance of being broken. We used to go to Lover ' s Lane to spend an hour or two.

PORK BARREL (Continued from page 234) to carry out this promise, but meeting with a peculiarly obstreperous Pachacamac accession to power, however, the old issue was revived, and they passed a bill to force members to buy their own decora- tive keys, instead of having them donated out of the council coffers. The Pachacamacs made a successful foray upon the freshman offices, how- ever, taking three positions after an exciting campaign which saw them opposed by a small group of non- fraternity men. Both sides hurled charges of fraternity domination. The presi- dency was won by Phil Buzick, Lawrence Pachacamac, who set out immediately upon his appearance in the council as a non-voting member, to gain the ballot and thus give the freshman class repre- sentation which it has hitherto been denied. But while these few are still dabbling around in the medieval ages of campus politics, many others have forged ahead and joined hands in the national merry- go-round. The imminence of election year, with its resultant gain accruing to the winning side, proved attractive to a number of politicians who have reached the age of discretion, and they set about lining the students up according as their parents voted. Charles Anderson is the prophet of the young Democrats, and Quentin Brown heads the young Repub- licans. Some members have been flung off by the mad pace, and sit at the side of the circus, feeling that idols have been shattered and ear th ' s star has fled. The rest continue to clutch wifdly at the ta-il- boards of the national bandwagon, and are already looking up the Washington time tables. The student body was placed between the upper and nether millstones and squeezed hard by the refusal of the local musicians union and the Memorial Union operating committee to come to an agree- ment on how much the musicians were to receive for tooting an hour at the mid- week dances. Bill Cochrane, manager of the Union Building, adroitly substituted phonograph recordings for orchestra music, but even that did not diminish the crowds. Only recently, however, the two forces effected a compromise, and a conglomeration of musicians from the three leading bands furnishes music for three midweeks a month, while a new band organized by Roger (Nee Preston) Anderson, presides at the fourth. So while life continues serene for the average student, the politician never lacks for thrills. He ' s always buttonholing, leading the parade, beating his breast in exultation over some victory, or closing his hands convulsively upon some imagi- nary enemy ' s throat. His is a world of alternate bright hopes, grim fears and happy realization.

Leaving Cornell in 1890, he attended the universities of Goettinger and Freiburg for a year. Dr. Hodder came to the University of Kansas as an associate professor of American his- tory in 1891, and he remained here for the rest of the 45 years of his life. He was made a full professor in 1893, and in 1908 he was promoted to the head of the history department. Dr. Hodder served as exchange pro- fessor at Cornell in 1928-29, and at various times he has lectured during summer sessions at the universities of Chicago, Colorado, California, Washing- ton, and Northwestern. History was at once his life work and hobby. His greatest interest was in the field of research. It was Professor Hod- der who discovered that the Kansas- Nebraska bill was not of a political design, but passed for railroad purposes. Abraham Lincoln was his idol in American life. Dr. Hodder left a valuable collection of Lincoln portraits. Yet, strangely enough, he believed that Washington performed the greater task for his country, and he said so in an address in 1912. Rarely does one find an individual favoring one of our two fore- most Americans over the other, yet con- ceding that the other did the most for the country. Professor Hodder was recognized as an authority on Western history. His books on the subject include: Civil Government in Kansas ; Outline His- torical Atlas of the Uited States ; and Outlines of American History. Dr. Hodder gave freely of his time to the school and historical societies. For 35 years he donated his se rvices as secre- tary for the Graduate School. He was elected president of the Kansas State Historical Society last October; he was also a member of the American Histor- ical Society and the Mississippi Valley Historical Society, of which he was presi- dent in 1924-25. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity, and Phi Kappa Psi, national social fraternity.

VOLUME XLVIII APRIL, 1936 NUMBER 4 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the Jayhawker Board. A record of events and personalities, and a rerieu ' of campus trends and opinions. JOHN E. CHANDLER Editor-in-Chief ROBERT E. KENYON Business Manager AS the Jayhawker surveys the campus scene before sallying forth on this fourth visit of the year he sees that stu- dent affairs have picked up considerably since his last appearance. Perhaps it ' s a new lease on life that comes with spring or it may be that the student body has more time for exta-curricular activities with finals and term papers still far enough away that they present no im- mediate threat, but at any rate there has been more than a usual amount of activ- ity the past few weeks. But before we start out on our editorial ramblings, we digress for a moment to defend the Jayhawker against the jour- nalistic bombardment levelled at it in the Kansan immediately following its last ap- pearance on the campus. Writing a cam- pus opinion under the nom de plume An Observer some student made the charge that there was but one non-fra- ternity student on the staff and deplored what he assumed to be a discrimination against non-fraternity students in the se- lection of staff members. The editor takes issue with the Ob- server on both counts. If our critic had made any attempt to merit the name he assumed he would have found that there were seven, not one, non-fraternity students on the staff, and he would have further found that all seven were listed on the masthead. Also for the informa- tion of the Observer who seems to have been either too lazy or too indif- ferent to inform himself, it may be pointed out that it has been the consistent policy of the Jayhawker to accept the efforts and services of any student who offered them without regard to fraternity or sorority affiliation. As yet the Jay- hawker has not had to resort to recruit- ing, and as long as the publication re- mains on the volunteer basis there will be no necessity for resorting to the usual, but nevertheless small, practice of main- taining an accurate mathematical balance on the staff. If it may seem that a pre- ponderance of those students who were sufficiently interested in the Jayhawker to try-out for staff positions were fraternity members, that is no fault of the Jay- hawker. The Observer ' s observations seem to be the result either of malicious purposes of his own, or a lack of infor- mation on his subject. In some localities the return of spring is heralded by budding vegetation, in others by the northward flight of the mig- ratory birds, and almost universally by the trend of a young man ' s thoughts. But not so on Mount Oread. Among Kansas students the first approach of spring is accompanied by grumblings of a political nature. As this is written the grumblings are growing into a roar, and when it is read they will have assumed the proportions of a babel of frenzied howls. Both parties will extoll the merits of their candidates and platform planks to the sky, even as they lustily fling mud on the gentlemen of the opposi- tion and endeavor to split their oppo- nents planks apart without getting any splinters in their hands. Meanwhile those among us, and we are assured that despite a reasonable doubt there are a few, whose interests rise above the level of student political brawls will have to stuff their ears with cotton and make the best of a bad situa- tion. Such students, as they view the antics of the embryo ward heelers with compassion, will doubtless chuckle as they mentally echo Puck ' s observation on the mental equipment of humankind, What fools these mortals be. Mr. Lyman Field, Beta Theta Pi ' s man of the century, our beloved student coun- cil president, startled the campus out of its complacency a few weeks ago with a new plan to further the welfare of his sheeps. Realizing that the maintenance of femininity is no small burden, and urg- ing the inherent justice of his scheme. Lyman proposed that henceforth Kansas coeds foot half the bill when they sally forth with boys for social purposes. And what is even more surprising he got the W. S. G. A. to back him up on his plan. Those few males who were a little du- bious as to the inherent merit of the scheme were told to relegate their out- worn chivalry to the ash-can and get on the band-wagon. This left only the girls in opposition, but a large number of coeds readily accepted the plan when they were assured that it is really quite the thing in Germany and that Herr Hitler thinks it is just too ducky. Dutch dat- ing went into effect the night of the W. S. G. A. Carnival (a new money- maker replacing the musical comedy) and nonconformists were shooed into line by Nazi men (without brown shirts, however) . Coming events cast their shadows and in a few more weeks the end of the year will be in sight. Finals, farewells, commencement, and for those who are af- flicted with Senior standing, the first chilly breezes from that cold, cold world. Shortly before finals the Jayhawker will appear for the last time this year, dedi- cated to the Seniors, their past, present and future, if any. Till then, along with the students, the Jayhawker succumbs to spring fever. THE JAY HAWKER News and views by JAMES PORTER COMMENTATOR: On February 16, the manager of the date bureau reports business as excellent. Manager of K. U. Date Bureau: I ' ve arranged over fifty dates for my clients so far, and ain ' t had no kicks yet. I even got a letter from one of my customers in Laramie, Wyoming, praising my service. It said I am a lonesome sheepherder, or was, until I heard of your business. I wrote you for the name of a girl to correspond with and you sent me one. Since then, she and me have been writing right regularly. She says she is a beauty queen, a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, whatever that is, and wants me to come to a party this Pi Beta Phi business is having. But shucks, I can ' t do that cause my sheeps need looking after. A Satisfied Customer. P. S. Your business is a boon to mankind. The only customer I am having trouble with in finding a girl for him is a boy named Jack Richardson. In his appli- cation to me for a date, he said: ' I really am not very good looking, but I ' m a swell dancer. At least all the girls say so. Enclosed find a quar- ter to get me one of your deluxe dates. ' COMMENTATOR: The Owl Society, supposedly honor group of the junior class men, and again, supposedly free from politi- cal entanglements, was split wide with P.S.G.L. ' s and Pacha- camacs attempting to gain control of the presidency. The result was that co-presidents were elected: Ross Rob- ertson, P.S.G.L., and John Phillips. Pachacamac. When the method of election was aired on February 25, statements by the two presidents quickly followed: P.S.G.L. Ross Robertson: Just before the three newly elected members were to be initiated, the question was raised as to the constitutionality of the previous election. The P.S.G.L. members of the society replied that the rule requiring a two-thirds majority to elect had not recently been enforced, and that the raising of such a question was done purely because of petty, political reasons. Despite the earnest appeal on the part of P.S.G.L. members to members of the Pachaca- mac party that such a step would undo any reforms that had been accomplished in the society this year, they went ahead with their demands for a new presidential election in order that they might elect someone from their party. The incident is certainly a regrettable one. P.S.G.L. members, however, will continue their efforts to make the society ' truly an honor one. Pachacamac John Phillips: In the pseudo-election which P.S.G.L. recently conducted, the candidate was declared elected with only six votes in his favor. In no way could such a dec- laration be justified. The ballot did not constitute two-thirds of the membership as required by the constitution. Nor was it even a two-thirds of the members present. It did not even represent a plain majority vote of the society, for there were eighteen members. On no basis of interpretation whatsoever could that election have been legal. I deplore the whole situation. I regret the P.S.G.L. atti- tude. I am resigning the co-presidency as the only step now open to restore harmony to the society. I do so. not because I have any doubt as to the Tightness of our position, but be- cause I believe that to meet the P.S.G.L. ' s on their own petty basis would be disgusting and futile. COMMENTATOR: On February 28, the University women took over men ' s social duties and gave a Leap Year party at Memorial Union with Wayne Wright providing the rhythm. Witness the scenes about the campus that night: 254 THE JAYHAWKER BIG SIX CHAMPS Mary Markham waiting patiently for John Paul at the Sig Alph house as he hollers down to her: Ready in another hour, dear, I just can ' t make up my mind whether to wear the new Oxford blue or the Duke of Kent suit. Darby Trotter thanking Dorothy Lemon for her corsage: I never smelled anything so fragrant. Here, have an onion out of it. Marshall Nye ordering at Wiedemann ' s while date Mary Louise Kanaga looks on dumbfounded: I ' ll have a chicken sandwich, a ham sandwich, malted milk, banana split, and a pack of Camels. COMMENTATOR: The intramural wrestling meet was con- ducted March 5, with the Phi Delts winning the most matches. Results follow: Ainsworth threw Hamilton, 121-pound; Dieter threw Lemoine, 128-pound; Nohe threw Pardee, 138-pound; HELL WEEK AT THE PI K. A. HOUSE KARL KRUEGER, CONDUCTOR OF THE KANSAS CITY PHILHARMONIC Townsley t hrew Scott, 148-pound; McCoy threw Harrington, 158-pound; Shirk threw Morford, heavyweight; Lamborn forfeited to Harrison; Field forfeited to Bodley. COMMENTATOR: In the fifth annual Junior-Senior ora- torical contest on March 10, Martin Maloney was declared winner, speaking on, ' Are College Students Radical. ' Martin Maloney: The college students of today have a wilderness to clear away, but with the help and co-operation of the present generation we can make a world habitable for everyone. We are not radical. And says Kenneth Born and Sam Halper on same topic, Are College Students Radical? : Huh! COMMENTATOR: As Maloney was speaking on soap-box tactics among college students, a joint meeting of the Women ' s Self Governing Association and Men ' s Student Council was in progress. Let ' s listen in as M.S.C. President Lyman Field addresses the august assembly. President Field: Ladies and gentlemen, I have tonight a pregnant idea to bring before you. In my hands is a resolu- tion that I have drawn up and that I wish you to take favorable action upon. It reads: Resolved: That in order to promote a better spirit of comradeship between students at the University of Kansas, the W.S.G.L. and M.S.C. declare that the policy to be followed from and after March 20, 1936, in relation to social engagements between men and women students shall be on an equal financial basis. Under this plan, women will be able to select their places of entertainment, a new comradeship between the men and women will exist. It works in other schools, even in Germany. Women can ask men for dates. More men can have dates. You don ' t need to feel timid or ashamed about allowing the girl to pay her check. She should. Don ' t think you ' re a better man in your date ' s eyes because you magnanimously grab her check. Be courteous. Allow your date to step up first and pay her own check. I feel that the great majority of students at the University of Kansas will take to this sensible idea as a duck takes to water. COMMENTATOR: But the University of Kansas students are not ducks and most of them definitely do not take to water, anyway. Listen to the dissenting opinion from Mr. Field ' s sheep. APRIL, 1936 255 THE GLEE CLUB HITS THE TRAIL Katherine Hurd: I think that some of the students will support the idea but do not intend to myself. Margaret Ryan: It won ' t work if the boys are sissies. I don ' t care to see it work because I ' m having too darn good a time right now. Warren Gille: Don ' t be silly. Of course I ' m in favor of the girls paying half on a date. Even Mr. Field ' s own Betty Lou McFarland says: That ' s what he thinks. Commentator: So with women generally against it and the men for it you guessed it Mr. Field ' s pregnant i dea did not nurture. COMMENTATOR: Karl Krueger brought his Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra here March 17 to give four thousand K. U. students a taste of culture. Opinion of students after the concert mark it a great success. William Muchnic: Almost as good as Benny Goodman. Peggy Ghormley: Now the Los Angeles Symphony Orches- tra is But the Kansas City band wasn ' t bad. Elton Glandon: I especially liked the andante movement of Tschaikowsky ' s nocturne. COMMENTATOR: The University Calendar Committee went on record in favor of starting classes at 8:00 o ' clock in the morning instead of 8:30, on March 22. The recommenda- tion will be voted on April 7. In the meantime, student opinion agitates against it. Harry O ' Riley: Coming from a big city, I ' m not used to getting up so early. What do they think I am a farmer! Leo Brenneisen: Ho-Hum. Everybody: I ' m agin it. COMMENTATOR: Throughout the last month, national and international speakers have climbed up and down Mount Oread. Bailie P. Waggener continued to take a beating for those untimely words he spoke to the children here at K. U. the first of the school year, telling them to report any socialistic activity or talk to the Board of Regents, for the first speaker was: Norman Thomas Socialist Leader February 24: To sur- vive, America must give up its superficial political attitude and adopt a system of co-operative collectivism in place of its out- worn and unjust capitalism. Anna Louise Strong Communist Editor February 25 Real political power resides with the people who control the means of production. Dictatorship is the power that directs the form of government. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Polar Explorer February 26: The Antarctic region, with its ice age, offers the most fertile field now open to scientists. Dr. Paul H. Douglas University of Chicago Economics Professor March 10: We consumers can protect ourselves only through consumers ' co-operatives to divide and distribute goods. Mrs. George Hoxie Civil Service Authority March 12: Government has not been equal to the unprecedented de- mands made upon it during the past depression, and as a re- sult our governmental and economic stability is being threatened. Sigmund Spaeth Tune Detective March 16: ' How Dry I Am, ' and the church song, ' Oh, Happy Day, ' both have the same tune. Henry J. Allen Editor and Statesman March 24: A great many so-called liberals worry too much about their labels, and label worship precedes mental slavery. COMMENTATOR: Starting on their home stretch to the Big Six championship and district Olympic championship, the Uni- versity of Kansas basketball team easily defeated the young men of Manhattan here February 15, 52-34. The Big Six crown was put on Dr. Allen and his quintuplets the night of March 28 when the cagers journeyed to Lincoln, winning 43-36. With the formality of two conference games remaining, the team coasted to a 51-26 victory over Oklahoma, and a 51-29 win over Missouri. The conference championship made Dr. Forrest C. Allen ' s twentieth in twenty-five years. Still, he was not yet satisfied and started gunning for the Olympics. At Kansas City he won the right to represent this section in a four-team tournament (Continued on page 318) DR. LINDLEY WELCOMES ADMIRAL BYRD 256 THE JAYHAWKER Two thousand track and field stars will participate in Kansas ' great sport carnival by JOE COCHRANE ON April 18 of this year, approxi- mately 600 athletes will invade the campus and the Kansas Memorial Sta- dium to take part in that great annual sport event the Kansas Relays. This event always draws the best athletes in this BREAKING THE TAPE FOR K. U. section of the country and many records are set and broken here. It affords an opportunity for high class competition to the picked track and field stars of uni- versities, colleges, and junior colleges throughout the United States. Early in 1922, officials of the Univer- sity of Kansas, feeling the need for an athletic get-together, invited members of the surrounding schools to come to Mount Oread and participate in a track meet. The invitations were accepted and people attended the 1st annual Kansas Relays. The splendid response in the past years to the Relays by coaches and ath- letes in widely scattered states has con- vinced the Kansas management that there is a definite place and real need for this event, which has grown through the years into a national institution. Almost ideal climatic conditions have usually prevailed during the Kansas Relays of the past thirteen years and there is every chance that there will be pleas- ant weather conditions prevailing on April 18 in Memorial Stadium. This year the Kansas Relays hold spe- cial significance. The meet has been se- lected by the Amateur Athletic Union as a tryout for the Olympic team to rep- resent the United States at Berlin next summer. To allow those who enter to take part in Olympic events, some of those used in the international games have been added to the regular program. These include the 3,000 meter steeple- chase, the 400 meter hurdles, and the hop, step, and jump. The 1500 meter run and the Missouri Valley Decathlon, other Olympic events, are regularly on the program. The decathlon is expected to draw a very large entry list due to the fact that only this one and the one to be held at the Penn Relays will be considered as tryouts by the A. A. U. Those men who enter these specific events need not be members of any school but they must be in good standing with the A. A. U. If the men are successful in these trial meets, they are eligible to the Olympic tryouts to be held this summer under the direction of the A. A. U. Here will be run off the regular events and the men who place in the first three positions will be eligible to make the trip to Germany with the team. Glenn Cunningham, the great Kansas flyer, will probably run in the 1500 meter event. Glenn has been having a rather unsuc- cessful indoor season this winter but many believe he is pointing toward the Olympics so a good race will probably be run. Harold Manning of the Wichita Ath- letic Club, who has held several A. A. U. championships in the distance runs, has made known his intention to run in the 3,000 meter steeplechase and Glen Dawson of the Skelly Athletic Club in Tulsa, the boy ' who defeated Cunning- I Continued on page 321 ) APRIL, 1936 257 Mourning becomes election P. S. G. L. and Mrs. Pachacamac are holding their Spring carnival by BARBARA BRAMWELL MRS. PACHACAMAC and PSGL are with us again after a brief and welcome respite. We wish we could avoid presenting them in another play (and we know you wish it even more) but the truth is that they are so very much in evidence around here these spring days that a drammer of the O ' Neill length hardly suffices to reveal their activ- ities. If you have an ice-pack and an as- pirin handy, however (recipe can also be used to good effect the morning after election), then settle down to the tale of woe. Mrs. Pachacamac is rigged up in a brand new spring platform which she wears jauntily, trying to make people notice it. Her outfit really doesn ' t be- come her very well as it is so different from her usual platforms and is copied from P S G L ' s last spring model. She retains her individuality in the ornaments, however, several rather dark schemes trimming the inside of her sleeve. PSGL wears his last year ' s platform. His adherence to the same garment is quite monotonous as it is such a loud outfit but, surprisingly enough, it still fits, though he has grown so big in the last year. Perhaps this is because he hasn ' t really used it at all in his office and, too, because it was originally con- structed on such broad lines that he has plenty of room to grow into it in fact, he probably never will fill out the promises. ELECTION is a much sought-after per- son she has all the boys running for her. We won ' t bother you with her until the last act. ACT I The annual log-rolling race is about to begin. Mrs. Pachacamac and PSGL are standing on the bank of the river. The air is damp and foggy. This facilitates conversation between them as they seem to talk best in a wet atmosphere. Mrs. Pack How nice and bright your logs look, PSGL. They ' re so red. PSGL I was hoping nobody would no- tice that. Mrs. Pach Were you, really? Now, fancy that. You ' re getting less inde- pendent every day. PSGL Well I ' ll get along all right in the race. Mrs. Pach I hear you are losing your nurse. PSGL I think I ' m big enough now to get along without him. Mrs. Pach You do look awfully healthy. My you ' re so Brown this season. PSGL I should be. After five seasons of the Quentin sun. Mrs. Pach I don ' t think you ' ll get along so well in the race this year. You see my logs are all done over. Mrs. Pach But the machine is just the same. PSGL Perhaps. But it does look differ- ent to a casual observer. PSGL Voter you say? Mrs. Pach (Peevishly) You know per- fectly well what I said. Don ' t try to be upstage with me and try any of that new Dutch talk on me. PSGL Everybody else likes it Mrs. Pach You just think that because of the song and dance your old Nurse has been handing you about Dutch dating being popular in foreign uni- versities. PSGL Sour grapes, Mrs. Pachacamac. You ' re mad because you didn ' t think of it first. It ' s going to help me win the race. ACT II Mrs. Pachacamac is looking over her logs. She counts them over carefully to be sure they are fixed. Suddenly she stops dismayed. One is badly split. Mrs. Pac h (Unhappily) My Phi Delt log! Split! PSGL (From a distance as he speaks to one of his workers) and fit that Rob- ertson into my head-log it ' s a good chunk I swiped from Mrs. Pachacamac. Mrs. Pach (Censored). ACT HI A point a little farther up the river. The logs have been rolled into position, bumping together with many sharp cracks. PSGL is examining a basket he carries. Mrs. Pach (Strolling over to PSGL) What are you doing? PSGL I have to look over my pro- visions. Airs. Pach You do have a big basket- ful there. But then I might have known you ' d slip in a few extra Pro- visions at the last minute PSGL Yes, I thought maybe I ' d better just in case you won Mrs. Pach (Sadly) Yes, I did the same thing last year but it didn ' t do me a bit of good. My office was cramped anyway when I lost. PSGL The prize is larger than ever this year. Mrs. Pach So I ' ve heard. (Chuckling) That saying, The fruits of victory, certainly applies to this race, doesn ' t it? PSGL (Grumbling) I don ' t see what you ' re laughing about. The prize in this race is the same every year plums. They ' re plenty good enough for me. Mrs. Pach (Quickly) Oh dear me, yes, especially when they ' re those plums of the famous political variety. PSGL (Self- righteously) I ' m not going to sell mine when I win as well, par- don me, but as I ' ve heard you used to do with the plums when you used to win. Mrs. Pach Goodness gracious! Where did you ever get that false impression ? Why (She hesitates but superstition is too strong for her and she crosses her fingers carefully as she makes the next statement). I ' ve always passed the plums around among the deserving boys. And that ' s what I ' m going to do with the plums you used to win. PSGL You mean you win. Mrs. Pach I mean u hen I win. PSGL You mean . Mrs. Pach (Pulling his hair viciously) I mean when. (It is beginning to look like a pretty fair fight when suddenly the Polkinghorn blows, denoting that the race is getting under way. This has a soothing effect on PSGL as this is his own personal instrument and he knows it can play a long scale of double votes.) PSGL (Pacifyingly) The race is going to be tough enough. Let ' s stop fight- ing now ! ACT IV The race. PSGL and Mrs. Pachacamac are doing some frenzied log rolling. There is so much mud in the air that we can ' t see a thing. But we know there ' s a lot going on under cover. ACT V The race is over and PSGL and Mrs. Pachacamac are glaring at each other amidst the cheers and catcalls of an as- sembled crowd of on-lookers. ELECTION, (Continued on page 3181 258 THE JAYHAWKER Presidential possibility A K. U. Alumnus, and a loyal Kansan, Alf M. Landon makes strong bid for presidency by HARRY O ' RILEY rhas been our good fortune in the past that in every national crisis a leader has come forth from ranks about whom the people rallied, and upon whom they placed full responsibility to keep safe their individual freedom, to support their national institutions, and keep the ship of state following the lanes of demo- cratic principles upon which our nation was founded. In the present flux of na- tional affairs the eyes of American citizens are turning to Alf M. Landon, Governor of Kansas, as the man who is best quali- fied to lead them out of their present difficulties. Kansas ' confident, calm, and genuinely competent governor, Alfred Mossman Landon, was born in a Methodist parson- age of the village of West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, on September 9, 1887. His father was an independent oil producer who started in Pennsylvania and moved on with the oil frontier to a small new settlement across the Alleghenies. . His mother, Anne Mossman, is a descendent of a solid Pennsylvania Dutch family which long and thriftily had tilled the soil of that state. The Landon family had been in this country as long as the Moss- man, although it traced itself back to English and Scotch origins. That sturdy and thrifty blood in him explains his easy manner, his thriftiness and his good natured adaption to circumstances when the matter is trivial. He had ancestors of both strains in the Revolutionary war. He grew up in the oil field of Ohio, and at- tended elementary school in the same state. Alf Landon in his youth developed a taste for fishing, hunting, and riding which he never has lost. He graduated from Marietta Academy at the head of his class. When he was fourteen, his father transferred his interest to the new fields of Kansas and settled in Independ- ence. John M. Landon, tall, aquiline of feature, with a quiet air of simple dis- tinction, lives in the Governor ' s Mansion ALF LANDON ADDRESSING THE WORLD GOVERNOR LANDON WITH HIS FATHER with his son. John Landon chose to have his son educated in the state of his adoption. At seventeen years of age he enrolled in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Kansas University. His first year in college he excelled in History, German and Physical Geography. He took the weighty vows of Phi Gamma Delta on October 15, 1904. In 1906 he represented them at their na- tional convention, and in October of the same year, this promising young law student was made president of the Kansas chapter of the fraternity. He introduced in the fraternity a budget system which has saved them considerable money. Alfred Landon developed an ambition to be a lawyer, and entered the School of Law in his second year at the univer- sity, proving to be a diligent law student. He excelled in practice courts and was interested in common law, codes, insur- ance, and criminal law. On June 10, 1908, it was all over; he received his L. L. B. degree, and was admitted to the bar of Kansas. While in law school he was a devoted friend of Uncle Jimmy Green, beloved dean of the law school. Here is a coincidence: Senator Borah of Idaho, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, also graduated from Uncle Jimmy Green ' s law school. Landon ' s classmates remember him as a sprightly and sociable boy, and a leader among students. For outside organizations aside from the social fraternity he APRIL, 1936 259 belonged to Phi Delta Phi, a professional law fraternity. He was chairman of Law Scrimmage committee and the Law Ban- quet committee in 1907. He served on the Senior Play committee and the Pan- Hellenic Council in 1908. Although the records do not reveal him as a candidate for any college office, he liked the teapot tempests of college politics. The nickname of Fox was univers- ally applied, and stuck until a few years ago when the objections of the gentleman concerned succeeded in sup- pressing it. The origin for the name lay in the fact that he was foxy in politics and outsmarted the political dogs. After being admitted to the bar Alf Landon ' s eyesight broke down tempor- arily. He went to work in a bank in Independence. When his eyes recovered he became an independent oil man. He followed in the ways of his father. Lan- don never risked his whole stake or any- thing like it. Gradually he accumulated a small fortune by economy and efficiency. In 1915, he was married to Margaret Flemming, who died young, leaving a daughter, Peggy Ann, who is a coed at the University. In 1930 he married the well liked Theo Cobb, daughter of a Kansas banker. They have two children: a daughter, Nancy Josephine, three years (Continued on fjge 320) 260 THE JAYHAWKER The semi-organized house Non-fraternity men at the university are developing a new relationship in the semi-organized group by BOB THORPE LIVING as a member of a closely-knit group is both a privilege and an irre- placeable part of college life. The timid frosh learns to meet people, to make their acquaintance, and to enjoy their friend- ship; your prime specimen who still wears his high school pins or who always offers an opinion will be deflated unless he is wholly impervious. The social amenities that may make such a difference are easily acquired when there are first- hand examples, and entry into some degree of social life is always possible thru friends in the house. There is ordi- narily a wholesome rivalry among the men in the matter of personal appear- ance. Underclassmen can profit by the advice of those who have previously taken their courses. Books are loaned and ex- changed. And so forth. A group promotes intimate friendships and an espirt d ' corp for which there is no substitute. It ' s nice to know that one has dependable friends in any situation, be it wanting to cut back to your date or any other major emergency. It ' s a spur to realize that in whatever activity one may enter, his efforts in both failure and suc- cess are followed with sympathetic interest. The group often becomes an instru- ment of pleasant education, if such ever exists. Bull sessions are said to be as important as class lectures, and the conversation of the dinner table is cer- tainly unique in the scheme of university life. At that table there will probably be pacifists and R.O.T.C. men, Socialists and ultra die-hards, athletes and book- worms, politicians and poets men in every activity and men in every school. In fact, the traditional aim of having both sides of a question presented is per- haps more nearly attained at the dinner table than in the classroom. Without wishing to contend that frater- nities are everything to be desired, it is still evident that if every man were able to pledge some fraternity these advan- tages just mentioned would be available to all. The stark truth is that over half of the men of the University cannot be in a fraternity, and that the various reasons for this are largely beyond their control. Must these men go thru college, entirely missing out on the very real advantages of fraternal or group life and suffering the positive discomforts of a rooming house existence ? Fifteen men thrown together in a rooming and boarding house do not form a closely-knit group, or even a group in the sense we have used the term. There are personality adjustments made, but they are more apt to be the kind that result from squabbling constantly with the landlady about the use of a radio or the supply of hot water on bath nights. Little social polish is to be acquired from knowing the fellow in the next room only as the one who used the phone for forty-five minutes or who left a big ring on the bathtub the first day you moved in. Many men do not board at the place where they room; these same men will quickly vouch that eating out is not a particularly satisfactory arrangement, to state the case mildly. What social life could there be, having nowhere to invite guests for a meal, no living room for one ' s own use in which to entertain friends, no place to play cards, to read, to smoke, or to listen to the radio except in the cluttered confines of a single room where one must dress, study, sleep, and perhaps even eat? It is to be expected that the chance aggregations of men in a rooming house are not cohesive; that there is an enormous turnover each semester. These fellows are not brought together because of common interests, standards, or even friendships, but because theirs were the only rooms left for $7.50. When a man moves into a typical rooming house he knows practically nothing of the men who may so help or hinder him in study- ing, the men with whom he must share the bathroom, the stairs, and the phone. Small wonder it often happens that men of diverse tastes leave a house in the spring as much strangers to each other as they were in the fall. Someone was apt in speaking of the jungles of Tennessee. Four years ago a group of men, utterly dissatified with such conditions, went to a Lawrence townswoman with a novel proposition. She operated a house having a capacity of fifteen boys, and this group as a group wanted to contract for the full fifteen places both for board and room. In return for the privilege of having exclusive jurisdiction in the matter of those to occupy the house and to board there, the group assumed the responsibil- ity of filling the house and keeping it filled indefinitely. The living room and bridge nook were to be for the boys ' use as much as their own at home. The group assumed all the r esponsibility in matters of dis- cipline and order ; all complaints of either 1218 MISSISSIPPI Third row: FRED MAIER, DONALD PATTERSON, BOB THORPE, DICK STARK.

APRIL, 1936 261 party were to be handled thru one boy who acted as the group ' s representative. A flat rate of $25 per month per boy was agreed upon, with the understanding that there were to be no refunds except for Christmas and no extra charge for guests. This rate, of course, was made subject to current price change, and it has since been altered slightly. This was the fundamental basis of the first semi-organized house. Without any increase in the cost of living to its members, it achieved two vital ends. First, non-fraternity men now had a home rather than just 12 by 18 feet of space in some rooming house. Second, a real group unity was made possible now that the men themselves selected those with whom they wished to live, and standards could be set as desired. This first house has kept its scholastic level higher than that of any fraternity on the hill, its grade point average for last year being 2.7! Its fifteen boys that same year held an unbelievable collection of positions in every campus activity. Refinements and additions to the origi- nal scheme have been found of value. The house has its separate telephone upstairs and subscribes to its own newspa- pers. To cover such expenditures as these a monthly housebill was established and a treasurer designated to handle the mat- ter. This housebill, ranging commonly between fifty cents and a dollar a month, per boy, also includes his proportionate share of any other expenditure the group as a whole might make, be it for flowers, a picture, a pencil sharpener, or what not. A buzzer system was installed and call signals assigned. A check sheet was posted; the last man in was to lock up and turn off the hall lights. Gradually a few useful and necessary social precedents have grown up. As far as is possible, everyone sits and rises together at lunch and dinner. Dessert is not begun until all are served. Coats are tacitly under- stood to be necessary on Sunday and when guests are present. Semi-organized houses differ and will always differ from fraternities whose cost to the individual is nearly double that to the man who is a member of the former type of organization. Ob- viously the house must be quite mod- est; obviously, elaborate and expensive social functions are out of the question. Semi-organized houses have not adopted names, badges, or initiation rituals membership is purely functional. Any man becomes a de facto member by living within the house, contributing to the group and enjoying the privilege of the group unity. Friendships are the only ties when he leaves the house at gradua- 1011 INDIANA Third rou ' : DEAN DALTON, FREDERICK GEMMILL, ELAINE GRIMES, KEITH GOAD, JAMES SUS- SEX, HENRY BARKER.

VENARD Yusr. tion or when he pledges a fraternity in order to be with a special interest group or to achieve some of the social advantages that are admittedly beyond the scope of the organization which he leaves. Just as membership in such a house is functional, so its officers are largely functional. The treasurer ' s task has al- ready been mentioned. Order and de- cency at the table can better be preserved if there is one man there who has recog- nized authority in such matters, and cer- tainly no one can fail to see the necessity of a head of the table in the case of a more formal meal. More important yet, there must be some one person to act for the group in cooperating with the woman who manages the house. And so there exists a functional president of the group though he has never been given that office as such. In the original house the formality of an election is never carried out the man is simply he who is recognized as the most promi- nent of the oldest men. This method of selection seems to work well in a small group that has had continuous existence for some time. In another semi-organ- ized house, a regular election was carried out, but the man first elected was by common agreement known as Pop rather than the house president. The title was handed on to his successor. That first house, located at 1011 In- diana, is now in its fourth year of exis- tence, more vigorous than ever, though all but one of its original members have since graduated. In order to make more places for some of the men who have desired to become one of such a group, a second house of the same plan was launched this last fall at 1218 Missis- sippi. Five of its members had previously- had experience in the original house. At the present time there is a strong possi- bility of the formation of a third and perhaps even a fourth house this com- ing year. Semi-organized houses are certain to grow, for they make possible for any non-fraternity man to achieve, at the same price he is paying elsewhere, the essen- tial and soundest advantages of living as a member of a congenial group. The individual man must no longer thresh out every little matter with some woman who may be nearly a mother but more likely is a landlady in the disagreeable sense. The woman managing the house, freed from worry about filling her rooms and the responsibility for discipline, can devote herself to the successful manage- ment of the routine operation. The or- ganization of such a house, because of its very matter-of-fact non-formalized basis, can be readily adapted to many situa- tions. The day may well come when the semi- organized house will eliminate from K. U. ' s campus a great deal of the rough- ness, the discomfort, the aloneness against which the non-fraternity man now protests with good reason. Nor is it beyond imagination that semi-organ- ized houses for non-sorority women may spring into being to meet their equally acute need. 262 THE JAYHAWKER Junior officers The junior officers don ' t have much to do, but are the leaders of the class by DALE O ' BRIEN YOU can always tell a junior, but you can ' t tell him much. A chap of sin- gular insight thus lumped what to him are the conspicuous characteristics of I. HUBERT ANDERSON third year men and women into the last line of a jinglet and let it go at that. And, truly, he expressed ' what a goodly number of people have always believed . . . that we consider ourselves the lords of creation, and, consequently, that we must be humored in our whims and con- sidered to be resident in that final piteous period of adolescence through which most of us, at any rate, will traverse into sanity. We ' ve pondered that sage ' s words for hours and have been able to come to but one conclusion . . . that those words were truthfully spoken. But, at all events, there ' s no harm in defending ourselves ... so let ' s look at the fellow who con- demned us, when he himself was a junior. Back in 1920, a week before the Jun- ior Prom, he showed himself up for the prude he was. (The evidence is im- mutably recorded in the files of the Daily Kansan.) Thus spake our critic: I am unqualifiedly against having the Junior Prom. K. U. has already acquired the name of being a fast, ex- travagant, and frivolous school devoted entirely to dancing . . . and for the stu- dents to sanction the further expense such an elaborate dance as this must necessitate, would not aid in changing the views of the citizens of Kansas and in obtaining their appropriations. Another fellow, not quite so rabid as our critic, wanted to have the dance and confessed naively, I would like to have a formal party with all the frills at- tached to it, because I enjoy such sprees. Indeed, readers, times have changed. The Junior Prom once was consid- ered a spree! Think how much we ' ve advanced! Our formula for a spree, for instance, is ... Kansas City and two qua . . . (but, wait a moment . . . this is to be preserved for posterity). However, they had the Prom that year despite our moralist and served fruit cocktails and chicken salad a la Prom to all comers and everyone went home abashed for having indulged in such promiscuity. So, a word to all those who nod sym- pathetically at our activities, which, we confess, are symptomatic of retarded development: You, too, once drooled with imbecility. Last year about this time the Pacha- camacs mustered all their forces and voted into office four men capable of guiding us out of this adolescent rut. Hubert Anderson was elected president and Jack Schrey treasurer. The managers of the Prom about which we have made BARBARA PENDLETON GRETCHEN SPEELMAN so much to-do are John Coleman and Bill Townsley. Barbara Pendleton and Gretchen Speelman usurped the offices of vice- president and secretary in a somewhat less ostentatious W. S. G. A. election. And what, prithee, are the duties of our junior officials? you ask. True, our president has no voice in the council and the funds which pass through our treas- urer ' s hands are very nominal to say the least. The responsibilities of the Prom managers are sometimes questioned and the vice-president and secretary merely contribute their ayes and nays to multi- plicities of W. S. G. A. resolutions. But, seriously, our officers were chosen for one primary duty: to keep the junior class a homogeneous body . . . sep- arate and distinct so that the obloquy which falls upon us may not inadver- tently be distributed on a part of the student body which is yet too imma- ture to merit it, or on a part which al- ready has received its share and must not be placed in double jeopardy. JOHN COLEMAN BILL TOWNSLEY JACK SCHHEY APRIL, 1936 Behind the crowns Two Kansas Citians inspect the junior queens at the annual prom A queen devoid of beauty is not queen; She needs the royalty of beauty ' s mien. Victor Hugo, Eviradrus, V. WHETHER or not we owe to Mr. Hugo ' s lyrical remark our present title of beauty queen is a moot question ; regardless of the validity of such a theory, certain it is that many years ago our predecessors on college annual staffs conceived the idea of choosing the fair- est of the campus, of attaching to them the appellation of beauty queens, and of attempting in various ways to glorify them. Certain it is, too, that we are far too timorous to do other than perpetuate such a firmly-established custom ; con- sequently, from issue to issue, we solemnly carry out the rite of crowning our co-ed queens. We proceed in such a sacred ceremony with a grave feeling of responsibility and with a full realization of the deep significance of the act which we are performing. Well do we know that (Continued on page 266) by DEAN MOORHEAD LANDON LAIRD TAYLOR LEWIS The judges say Here ' s to five of the best-looking girls we ever saw or talked to!

Our task is not easy. Little can we heed those cold statistics which prove that during each year some sixty-eight queens are crowned and that during a four year course a K. U. miss has better than a one to six chance of wearing the purple. Deaf must we be to those cynics who cry that Mr. Hixon ' s ability to transform sagging chins into graceful lines, to endow bloodshot eyes with a come hither look, and deftly to conceal unsightly bulges makes him the actual queen- maker of the campus. Scant attention dare we pay to the fact that a queen who comes to the Jayhawker office to re-claim her photograph is often handed the wrong one. In the best interests of the staff we delegate to someone outside the campus the task of mak- ing the actual selection to someone prominent enough to be recognized as an authority upon feminine pulchritude, yet far enough removed to be assured some measure of safety from the results of his selection. The methods of selection we do not dictate. When a prominent orchestra leader a few years ago confessed that he pre- ferred the eeny meeny meiny mo method, we hardly felt presumptuous enough to tell him that a famous cartoonist was at the same time heartily endorsing the blind-folded pin-sticking method. Neither have we been unreasonable. All too willing have we been to postpone the selections until after the running of the Ken- tucky Derby, if we feel that this provides a bit of aid to the judges. Having already made use of a cartoonist and an orchestra leader in this year ' s selections, we felt the need of some lively, yet able, way of PHOTO BY HIXON BETTY LOU MacFARLAND MARIE STEVENS PHOTO BY HIXON dealing with the Juniors. Following the grand old K.U. tradi- tion that when life is needed Kansas City lies only forty-seven miles to the east, our choice of judges soon fell upon two Kan- sas City gentlemen who, we feel, possess not only the courage which is essential in the make-up of a beauty contest judge, but who also are well qualified (exceedingly well qualified, if we believe all we hear!) to have very definite ideas about what constitutes beauty in a modern miss. Landon Laird of the Kansas City Star hardly requires an introduction to K.U. students. As author of the ever-popular About Town column in the Star and as a principal dramatics critic and feature story writer of that paper he has been constantly in touch with campus life and is well known to many K.U. students. His companion. Taylor Lewis, is likewise a familiar figure to many of us. As publicity director for the Hotel Muehlebach he too has often been associated with K.U. in a variety of capacities. Most recently we remember him as the man who was largely respon- sible for the very efficient publicity given this year ' s NSFA Congress and who contributed largely to the success of the meeting. Both Mr. Laird and Mr. Lewis are quite prominent in Kansas City ' s best business and social circles. An interesting feature of the selection of the Junior beauty queens is that they were not chosen entirely from their photographs. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Laird met the candidates the night of the Junior Prom and through this meeting have been able to base their selections upon graciousness, personality, and general charm as well as upon mere physical beauty. Their task has been difficult any gradation of the candidates can be but slight yet we feel that they have done remarkably well : certainly do we know that they have been exceedingly kind in their cooperation with the Jayhawker during the contest. To Messrs. Laird and Lewis the Jayhawker offers its appreciation for their work; to the Junior Class it offers heartiest congratu- lations upon its representatives; and to the readers it proudly presents the queens of the class of 193 7 !

JUNE THOMPSON APRIL, 1936 271 Olympia Dramatic season reaches its peak in Kansas players ' production by JOHN P. DIETER FOBABLY the highpoint of the dra- matic season at K. U. was reached with the presentation of Olympia by the Kansas Players, March 17, 18, 19 BETTY RUTH SMITH NORBERT ANSCHUETZ and 20. The play, a three act comedy written originally in the French by Ferenc Molnar, was a masterpiece of directive effort on the part of Professor Crafton ; the players were well -chosen, and the audience was appreciative, receptive and, on the whole, well pleased with the performance. The setting in the first scene is a lounge in the Palace Hotel, at a health resort not far from Vienna. Countess Lina, a haught- ily contemptuous and supercilious mem- ber of Austrian aristocracy, and her husband, the Count Albert, are quite perturbed by the singular attention shown Captain Kovacs, a mere captain of the cavalry, by the Princess Eugenie Plata Ettigen and Olympia, her daughter. Both are members of the Austrian aristo- cracy, attached to the service of the Emperor. . Countess Lina, petulant and envious of Olympia ' s position as lady-in- waiting to the Emperor ' s daughter (a position which she secretly coveted for herself), plotted to discredit Olympia in the eyes of the Emperor by putting undue casinstical emphasis on her relations with the common Captain. Princess Eugenie Plata Ettigen, who too was rather taken by the dashing and gallant Captain Kovacs, because he made a pleasant fourth at bridge, to forestall the vindica- tive Countess commands her daughter to sever once and for all her relations with Kovacs. This Olympia is loath to do since what has started as a rather inno- cent flirtation has ripened into a budding love affair. Olympia had even used her father ' s influence with the Emperor to secure Kovacs ' appointment as riding master to the Emperor ' s daughter. But true to her aristocratic heritage, she rec- ognized the dictates of filial obedience and social exclusiveness, and martyred herself to love by denouncing her lover in scathing terms, dismissing him from her attentions forever. Kovacs was not one to take the repul- sion quietly. He determined to punish Olympia and her mother for their treat- ment of him, treatment prompted by- vanity and selfishness. Casting himself in a picturesque role, posing as an interna- tional felon and jailbird, he had himself arrested by the local constabulary headed by Colonel Krehl, an amusing, self-con- cerned personage upon whom the duties of his office weighed heavily. When acquainted with this turn of affairs, Olympia and her mother were frantic, fearing the effect on their social position and the criticism of the Prince for their hobnobbing with a felon. A rather ludi- crous situation developed. Olympia and her mother to hush up the whole affair and to avoid opprobrium offered to use their influence to secure the freedom of Kovacs. provided that he immediately ab- sent himself from them. But Kovacs, rather relishing their embarrassment and discomfiture, refused their offer flatly except on the condition that he could have one hour alone with Olympia in Continued on page 324 1 PROFESSOR and MRS. CRAFTON ADD A BIT OF COMEDY 272 THE JAYHAWKER THE BADGE A fraternity man discusses the organized houses by VERNON VOORHEES AMONG the institutions comprising the college probably none have re- ceived more attention, both favorable and critical, than the college fraternity. There has been much criticism of the fraternity system and to some extent it has been justified. But to say that the idea is fundamentally wrong is an evi- dence of ignorance of the purposes and accomplishments of a s college fraternity. There is an unsocial attitude among fra- ternity members and an evidence of a pseudo sophistication, but this is a frailty of the human being and not of the or- ganized group. I believe the fraternal set-up to be a sound a nd constructive phase of uni- versity life and one which contributes a great deal to the smooth functioning and stability of the university. A fra- ternity, if properly directed, may provide a natural, constructive outlet for a great variety of energies. The strict group opinion provides a rigid control over its members and acts as a check and balance system on college society. The personnel of a fraternity is in a constant state of flux and may change from 25% to 50% every year. This rapid change makes it imperative that the members be constantly on the alert for prospective members and to insure the continuity of past custom and tradition by a rigid training of its new mem- bers. It is during the pledge or fresh- man year that the new member, or neo- phyte, is taught the ideals and purposes of the fraternity of which he is a mem- ber. The training embraces both the prac- tical and the mental phases of develop- ment, and by a set of common ideals and goals a very unco-ordinated group be- comes a closely knit unit. When a freshman makes his entrance into the University he is crossing the threshold of a new era in his life. He will be subject to sudden and violent changes covering the whole range of hu- man associations. This great change ne- cessitates an adjustment, and in order that this adjustment may be normal and well directed, the person should be living in the best possible environment at this crucial time. I consider the college fra- ternity, in the higher sense of the word, to be just such an optimum environ- ment and believe it to be one of the main justifications for its wide existence. In such a group the unadjusted per- son meets his new problems in an at- mosphere of sympathy and understand- ing, since he is surrounded by those who are making the same adjustments or those who have just recently been over the same road. Th e shock is thus greatly ab- sorbed, and the danger of an unfavor- able reaction minimized. At the same time the new member is making intimate acquaintances and is being instructed in the higher purposes of group achievement. Here begins the desire to contribute his share to the group and the spark of desired attainment is implanted. This tension under favorable conditions may be the source of great progress. The assimilation by common objectives and purposes, common ideals and prob- lems, is an accomplishment which would be a great tribute to any organization. A great insight and understanding is gained by the intimacy of contact which is obtained from living together under one roof, sharing in common both successes and reverses. This communal living is not haphazard and wild-hair but strictly regulated by custom, tradi- tion, and law. The great influence of this group experience tends to minimize any abnormal traits in an individual. There are those who have never learned the real pleasure of friendliness and sociability; there are others who would never participate in group under- takings. These and many other types of eccentricities are ironed out in a fraternity group. People in the world outside of college have generally failed to understand the many desirable characteristics of fra- ternity life, and even in college the stu- dents both non-fraternity and fraternity often fail to understand the funda- mentals represented by the various badges so proudly worn by the respective mem- bers of the several groups. We cannot criticize, but we must ad- mire any organization which stimulates individuals to strive for a common goal and to put group interests above indi- vidual desires. A fraternity is simply a natural means of expressing many of the most human tendencies in a very natural and virile way. Such groups exist in any society where the individuals cannot all know one another. It is unavoidable that the human animal will seek brotherhood through a small inner group contact where he finds similar likes and dis- likes and may strive for common achievements. When we consider the fact that our success later in life is dependent largely upon our ability to assimilate ourselves with widely various types of persons and to be able to adapt ourselves to the pe- culiar requirements of co-ordinated ef- fort, we cannot give too much credit to an institution which fosters the very at- tributes so necessary to this later suc- cessful adjustment. There must be a great value to any institution which will cause a great man to say, My fraternity has been my greatest experience. ABSOLUTION AND REMISSION TRANSITION What gave I to my first love?

APRIL. 1936 291 Juniors play host The prom is generally regarded as the best party so far this year by KEITH SWINEHART IN a mad, gay whirl of laughter and song, tuxedoes and gloriously arrayed lasses, dusky Lucky Millinder caught and held spellbound a merry throng, while his Blue Rhythm Band swept through to unprecedented popularity, leaving the 1936 Junior Prom in a class by itself and a party to be thought of with reverence. After listening to Lucky Millinder publicity for at least a month, the long awaited Friday the thirteenth rolled around, bringing with it a black cloud of joy and swing madness. Mr. Millinder was evidently very down at the mouth over play- ing before a student crowd, because before the party started he was smoking a very uplifting cigarette. We never knew this place took Jazznocracy to heart, but that night proved it. Of all the howling, jumping bunch of music nuts, that crowd was the worst. Anyone in front of that onrushing throng might as well have kissed Mother Earth good-bye, because it was noth- ing but curtains. We understand Cochrane suppressed all casualties. The Ides of March, it ' s Friday the thirteenth all were for- gotten in those four sparkling hours of torrid entertainment. Lazy music, dreamy music, and hot, hot music, played in inimitable style by an inimitable band. The dynamic leadership of Lucky Millinder, who put the band through the most arduous paces, will be long remem- bered. The pianist with his Fats Waller swing was the center of much attraction. While words cannot describe the music, I may say that it was such that kept the area around the bandstand inaccessible for dancers, and onlookers stood agape, one moment revelling in the antics of the leader, the next thrilling to his novel arrangements of popular numbers. Many girls must have been successful in their letters home to father, for the latest creations in evening gowns brought gasps of envy from members of their own sex and looks of awe from the lads, who also cooperated in their own fashion, dig- ging down to a man deep into pockets to buy flowers a striking contrast to the Prom last year. Ten o ' clock came, bringing with it, it seemed, the entire student body to the Union Building for one glorious whirl. Congestion at the top of the stairs caused no little confusion, but on arriving at the top thoughtless persons sheepishly put away identification cards and the like, finding it only to be caused by a receiving line of student and University dignitaries. Formalities over, one had but to give himself up to the de- lirious swing rhythm of the Blue Rhythm Band. My, my, it was a sight to behold. Glances around the room caught on the bobbing head of the band leader, and various campus personalities wiping perspiration from damp brows. Disconsolate eyes looked mournfully at wilted shirt-fronts, and crumpled corsages ceased to attract attention. The crowd milling around the band stand grew to enormous proportions on occasions when only a few brave couples dared even try to keep up with the fast tempo of the music. Then the rhythm changed, lights were dimmed, couples glided across the floor to Sophisticated Lady a short breath- ing spell before breaking out again into a hot Harlem tune. A flash of light, a glimpse of Duke, the photographer, tak- ing down his camera after a shot, then Gene Lloyd ' s voice over the loud speaker called all to the stand for the presentation of the Junior beauty queen aspirants a second look at Marie Stevens, Ethel Senne, and Jane Ann Butler was precipitated because of the striking picture revealed by them. Others called for second glances too, not for beauty revealed, but for wonder- ment and admiration for the photographer who could turn ma- terial as shown in flesh and blood into beauty on paper. It was a dark moment indeed for those Gamma Phis present who waited in vain for blonde Jane Marshall when her name was called out, for no Jane appeared to be forthcoming. Intermission was only a short pause but gave time to procure substantial refreshments to keep the weary legs sliding for another hour and long enough, too, for them to grow stiff and aching from the willing torture to which they had been subjected. Scarcity of stags provided jealous daters with more than the usual amount of dances with their beloveds as well as a few anxious moments for those lads who cut in on the wrong girl. Two o ' clock came, bringing with it Goodnight Sweet- heart and finding many of us loathe to leave, wishing we could dance just a short while longer; then once gone, thank- ful enough to sink back into the softness of a car seat. GREETERS AT THE PROM LUCKY MILLINDER DOES HIS STUF F 292 THE JAYHAWKER New buildings for the medics Two faculty members discuss improvements at Rosedale by DR. R. H. MAJOR and DR. F. C. NEFF IN January, 1935, following the private gift of money toward the erection of a children ' s hospital on the Medical Cam- pus, Dean Wahl, Professor F. A. Rus- sell of the Engineering Department, and I spent a chilly week driving 3,000 miles from Rosedale by way of New York City and State, across southern Ontario to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Chicago, and thence home. The purpose of the jour- ney was fulfilled in that we visited the children ' s departments of several univer- sities, where there were new hospitals. Many new methods, new types of hos- pital construction, new ideas and many suggestions to us came from this visit. The institutions were the James Whit- comb Riley Hospital, Indianapolis; The Children ' s Hospital, ' Cincinnati; The Children ' s Hospital, Philadelphia; the Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, New York; Michigan University Hos- pital, Ann Arbor; Children ' s Hospital, Cook County, Chicago; Michael Reese Hospital, Chicago. In Cincinnati we secured the assist- ance of Samuel Hannaford Sons, ex- pert planners of Children ' s Hospital, Chi- cago, to be the consulting architects and advisors to our own competent and en- thusiastic state architect, R. A. Coolidge. The W. P. A. at Washington has granted the sum of approximately $48,000 to supplement our private gift towards the construction of the building. The exca- vation was made by hundreds of work- men employed by the W. P. A. During the excessively cold months of January and February the construction could not be started. At the time of this writing, March, the contractors are ready, the plans have been matured through the period of a year, and the structure will soon be on its way upward. One of the necessities which will be provided in the children ' s hospital is another lecture room, modern in con- venience and equipment. There will be a swimming pool for crippled and under- nourished children who need mechanical and physical therapy. And the next two or three floors will be beautifully planned with cubicle wards and rooms for older children, for full term infants, and a conditioned-air nursery for premature in- fants. The hospital has unique features in porches where all beds may be pushed out into the open air, sun parlors where the runabout children may enjoy their toys, games and entertainment, and have a change of scene, a change of air, and avoid any tendency to hospitalism. The Children ' s Hospital is for the benefit of child health, the knowledge of diseases and their cure, opportunity for search into the cause, and preven- tion of disease. Taking part in this work and utilizing the opportunity for in- creased material for teaching will be the members of the faculty of medicine. The opportunity to learn will be participated in by 140 medical students each year, comprising the Senior and Junior classes of the School of Medicine, University of Kansas. We are glad to take our part in this era of expansion, which now has taken a great spurt. However, we shall remember with gratitude the loyalty CHILDREN ' S PAVILION UNDER CONSTRUCTION and faithfulness of the officials of the Medical School, and of the teachers in all departments, who have stood by their tasks when conditions were far from those of the present day. While the main purpose of a medical school is to educate competent physi- cians, another very important function is the advancement of medical knowl- edge. Both are important and are natural corollaries. Medical practice without the stimulating influence of medical research is always in danger of deteriorating into a mere routine, while medical research without the leavening influence of medi- cal practice is apt to wither, dry, and go to seed. It was the realization of this close interrelationship which caused the Medi- cal School from its foundation to lay an emphasis on medical research. The spirit, although always strong, found the flesh somewhat weak, the flesh in this par- ticular instance being the physical equip- ment necessary for conducting research. This has been particularly true of re- search in the clinical branches. With the acquisition of the new cam- pus and new buildings in Kansas City, space was first made for the laboratory of medical research above the power plant. Later these quarters had to be evacuated to make room for a new laun- dry which was being installed, and the laboratory of medical research was moved to the recreation hall, the basket- ball goals being taken down and numer- ous partitions being installed to form small laboratories. This building for ten years has served its purpose very well, but as it is of a temporary nature its occupants have often wondered just how many years it would stand before fall- ing down, and have been uneasy with the apprehension that at some unex- pected moment a fire would start and would consume the building and its equipment like a tinder box. The loss of the apparatus would be a serious blow. For years the workers in the research laboratories of the Medical School have looked forward to the time when they might have adequate and well equipped quarters. It seemed, however, more like a dream than any tangible hope, since there were so many other needs of the institution to be supplied. Through the APRIL, 1936 293 unexpected and generous gift from the Hixon Foundation, together with the aid of the P. W. A., this dream of many years will be realized this year. The ex- cavation for the Hixon Laboratory of Medical Research has already been completed. This laboratory, which is shown in the accompanying sketch, when completed will be four stories with a full base- ment. The building, which when com- HIXON LABORATORY pleted will cost $80,000, measures 42 feet by 88 feet and will be constructed of brick. The partitions will be of glazed tile, which will also be used to finish the inside walls. The basement floor will contain quarters for animals and a well equipped operating room, while the sec- ond floor will contain a laboratory for physiological experiments, a storeroom, a refrigerating room, and a group of small laboratories for individual work- ers. It is uncertain at this moment just how many floors will be finished this year. We can, however, look forward to the completion of the building to the height of four floors within the near future. The Hixon Laboratory will be equipped to carry on research work in biochemistry, in experimental medicine and surgery, and for the investigation of any medical problem that arises in any of the departments of the Medical School. The erection of this building marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the Medical School. It will be the center to which all of the clinicians from time to time will bring their prob- lems, and where a group of investigators will work, either singly or in teams, on some of the numerous medical problems that still await solution. These buildings are most welcome additions to the physical equipment of the University ' s School of Medicine. They represent one more phase in a growth which covers nearly half a cent- ury. They will do much to give the medical campus buildings which are in keeping with its high standing among medical colleges the country over. The School of Medicine was first organized in 1889- At that time, and for some years thereafter it was located at Lawrence. Medical classes were held in the Medical Building which is now used to house the department of journalism. The establishment of the University branch at Rosedale was made possible by the generosity of Dr. Simeon B. Bell, who left some tracts of land there to the University as a memorial to his wife, Eleanor Taylor Bell. In January, 1907, the School of Medicine moved into build- ings which had been erected on this land. In 1920 contributions from friends, alumni, and an appropriation from Kansas City, Kansas, made possible the selection of a new site in Rosedale. In 1924 the first unit, called Bell Memorial Hospital, was completed on this site. In 1928 and 1929 a nurses ' dormitory, Hinch Hall, and a ward building were added at a cost of $300,000. The Children ' s Hospi- tal and the Hixon Laboratory will be added to this group. The School of Medicine is headed by Dr. H. R. Wahl, dean. In addition to the courses at the Kansas City hospitals, the first one and one-half years of medical training are given at Lawrence under the direct supervision of Dr. Stoland, secretary of the School of Medicine. The school also includes the department of nursing. This division offers two courses. The first of these, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, con- sists of three years work in the college at Lawrence followed by two years study at the Kansas City hospitals. The second course consists of three years training in the theory and practice of nursing at Kansas City ' and leads to a certificate of nursing. The nursing faculty consists of an associate professor, four instructors and about ten assistant instructors. The first four months of the nursing course are devoted entirely to theory, and the work is quite intensive. Students are not put on nursing work until they are con- sidered capable of performing skillful nursing service. The nurses live in Hinch Hall, a modern fire proof building six stories high connected by a corridor to the administration building. The build- ing includes class and laboratory rooms as well as living quarters for the stu- dents and faculty members. Class work in the School of Medicine is supplemented by supervised practice in the University of Kansas hospitals. The course consists of two and one-half years at Kansas City followed by an in- terneship of one year in various hospitals throughout the country. The standards of the school are very high and only a limited number of students are accepted for entrance each year. The student must maintain a high quality of work through- out his course to stay in the school and to be eligible for graduation. Students in the senior class who have made out- standing records in scholarship are eligi- ble for election to Alpha Omega Alpha, honorary medical fraternity. The high standards of the school have placed it among the leading medical colleges in the country, a position which is attested to by the generally high place its gradu- ates hold in the medical profession. did not I oft- you in the spring Nor in the sombre fall.

It is the high- est honor that the University bestows on members of the junior class, and quali- fications for membership are based on outstanding leadership and strength of character. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to originate and sponsor move- ments for the best interests of the junior class, and also to create a feeling of fellowship among the students of the University. The Owl Society was founded at the University of Kansas in February of 1914, and its members have always taken an active part in University life. President R. M.

Well, the gist of the story leads us to believe this poor man was in an awful fix and we just laughed and laughed because it was awfully funny. But we never dreamed the same thing would happen to us it has, and how. There ' s something terribly wrong with all you social lions. You ' re not functioning at top speed, surely. Here old Gene Lloyd has been stomping and fussing around trying to get the real ugh in all these parties and what do all of you do. Just go ' round and ' round like a bunch of hill-billies at a swingin dance and accomplish just about as little in the way of news. What ' s the matter, Guernsey, are you sick or don ' t you care anymore? And you too, Field, Richardson, and Jencks, you ' re letting your public down with a horrible, deadening thud. Even Evans has been complaining about the shortage. And there really is one when you consider his bringing in a ghost writer to develop a scandal column by telling us all about the big races between Cunningham, Venzke, and Mangen. But, anyway, the editor hired us to rush madly about view- ing what happened and here ' s what we saw. The month of February brought about a surprising renovation in Hill par- ties. On the night of the fourteenth, the mad geniuses (only fine arts students) were turned loose in the Union Ballroom to startle all of us. They didn ' t succeed but their pictures and costumes did. Why is it, at a costume party, that the person with the least amount of paraphernalia always wins? Take the case of Big Chief Sitting Bull Ewing, for instance. There was also Katy Dunkel, but we just can ' t take has-beens out of the past tense or a grass skirt. LOUIE KUHN ' S ORCHESTRA If you think that ' s queer, however, just review the carnage resulting the following week when Phi Gamma Delta crossed swords with our colored Jayhawkers in a battle unto death. To those of you who favor the above Greeks, both white and black, it simply means that both parties were held on the same night. The pig at the Phi Gam dinner must have been poisoned because at the end of the dinner seven girls were minus seven steadies. We ' ll bet the colored party was better than that. The next night the Delts had things pretty much to them- selves, and so they proceeded to dedicate a program dance to George Washington and his ensuing posterity. The only trouble in regard to the separate dances occurred when true love held sway, and one man and a girl were left without a partner for a few minutes. Well, they got George pretty well fluffed off before midnight. ST AG LINE AT THE LEAP YEAR VARSITY COSTUMES AT THE BEAUX ARTS BALL APRIL, 1936 303 In our search for further material to insert in this thing we attended the Combined Pan-Hell affair held March 21 in our famous Union palace. The only reason they had it came as a result from one of Mr. Phipp ' s masterful deals. He made a contract with both Pan-Hellenic organizations that if they hired his bands for their individual parties, he would throw in a free unit for the third party. The chance was snapped up and now the Hill is suffering from an overdose of tuxedo-evening gown madness. Here ' s hoping the Women ' s Pan-Hell finished off the stiff necks. The next -week end, February 29 to those of you who might want to keep a scrapbook, the Hill was agog with Leap Year resolutions and egos. All the Hill eligibles sat around the whole week waiting for that feminine voice on the other line to say, Johnny, may I have a date next Saturday? A girl by the name of Suzanne succeeded in fluffing off a number of the big shots, but her success was only short- lived when most of them turned up in the arms of another. And now if you ' ll permit the introduction of Esther Grant into the proceedings, we ' ll go on with our tale. Esther got in a Theta bull session one night and ended up by betting a dollar she could take us to the party. Due to the fact that we were really one of those expectant stags, we snapped up our one and only chance to be not only seen but heard. Esther won, and so did we. Really, the cigars were fine, not to forget the other stuff and nonsense. If it isn ' t being too presumptuous we would just like to thank the person who donated Esther her buck. A very sporting deal, don ' t you think? The women ought to know now how the poor male direc- tory feels when they get stuck. Really terrible, don ' t you think, girls? According to Lloyd and Cochrane, however, there ' s nothing like breaking over the old order every now and then. The Beta sophomores, however, in their annual City chase- around, found the very thing Dorothy Kennedy, our Chi Omega incorrigible, has been looking for. Believe it or not, Dorothy wants to be a torch singer. Ask Mary Ellen Depew, one of the better Alpha Chi pugnoses, what she thinks of the set-up. We ' ll guarantee an interesting discussion on the quali- ties of dumbness and what have you. On leaving the women dominant in our situation we en- ter into the scene of the Men ' s Pan-Hellenic party, March 7, and the Beta ' s Better Sophomoric Brawl in Kansas City. The Pan-Hell was really all right and here again our genial red- headed flame, Tophat Blackburn did the swing music of CHECK STAND SCENE AT THE LEAP YEAR PARTY LUCKY MILLINDEH AND HIS BOYS Benny Goodman up to a nice brown. We ' ll accept our pay check tomorrow, Red. People were jigging around with their tongues hanging out trying to truck. Aileen Duvall, Gamma Phi wonder pledge, has proved herself to be the latest find in this new and sensational dance. Other situations should be considered. We wonder whether Eddie Arnsberger should be praised or reprimanded. After all, when a girl faints in your arms, explanations are certainly in order. Maybe the party was rougher than we thought for. The word came to us that Alice Team saw the front door of her house and forgot life for a few minutes. Maybe she saw Franklin Murphy, our very, very dignified Beta youngster, driving up in Jean McKeen ' s Buick. And now we ' re just about ready to round up all the extras and throw them in under the general head of the W. S. G. A. Carnival. That night we were all introduced to Dutch Dat- ing, developed and presented to us by our Scotch ancestry in both councils. What caused the women to consent, we ' ll never know, but it looks as if Lyman evidently made one of his per- sonal appearances. Anyway, the big show turned out to be all right as far as these things go. A little amateurish, shall we say, but still genuine enough to give the desired effect. The best party that night was not held at the gym but in the Union fountain. Incidentally it was a closed affair, at least to Guernsey and his date. We just happened to be hanging around the Kappa putting booth when two Pi Phi neophytes, Jodie Bell and Ida Griffith, offered us a drink (coke) . The Union was the only place and after forcibly en- tering under the protestations of Mr. Thromberg, the party started. Snippy White (how she got that name, we don ' t know) came in a little while later with Bushes Trees to do her janitor work. She left a piece of paper under the third booth in the left aisle, however. The party wasn ' t completely nuts though until Lyman Field and Betty Lou McFarland entered to do their dance. Nobody could play Turkey in the Straw so there wasn ' t much artistry in it. And now, friends, after eulogizing on nothing for just hours and hours, will you permit us to conclude this foul concoction of homemade dirt pies ? The custom seems to have been started last time to engage in personalities in the last paragraph of this message. With that in mind, we offer praise to Royer Bar- clay for his artistic piece of work on Sally Jo Demsey. And now so long until next time and please, will somebody go out and bite a dog? 304 THE JAYHAWKER Kansas lands fifth court title But Olympic hopes fade after Utah State Series by JAMES COLEMAN A YEAR of undefeated play is no slight accomplishment, and though two disappointing defeats in the pre- Olympic play-offs against Utah State are rankling in the thoughts of Kansas sup- porters, the 1936 version of the Jay- hawks is still hailed as one of the best of the many excellent teams produced by Dr. F. C. Allen. No small factor in the success of the Big Six champions has been the play of five of the outstanding men in the conference, Kansas five iron men, Ebling, Noble, Allen, Pralle, and Kappelman, who won the title for the fifth time in the seven years of the Big Six ' s organization almost single-handed, so to speak. Records galore are the property of this year ' s team, both individually and col- lectively, and Big Six coaches and sports writers admittedly had a difficult time when choosing the conference all-stars in omitting the name of any of the Kansas starting five. A brief summary of the records now held by Kansas shows their supreme dominance over Big Six basket- ball affairs: First undefeated record by any Big Six team. Team scoring record of 42.2 point per game. Best free throw record of any Big Six team. (.680 pet.) Best defensive record in the Big Six. (Allowed 26.8 points per game.) Fewest number of personal fouls of all Big Six teams. Ebling led conference individual scor- ing for third year. Ebling averaged 14.1 points per con- ference game. Ebling set new record of 141 points for 10 loop games. Ebling scored 221 points in season ' s play. (Tied record of Groves, K-State.) We could probably continue for hours on end in enumerating the various marks set by this year ' s team, and by so doing perhaps erase thoughts of the 42-37 and 50-31 defeats at the hands of the Utah Aggies, but after all, if you wish it, those two losses were suffered after the official playing season was ended. Perhaps that thought will furnish salve for injured feelings. When official All-Big-Six stars were chosen at the end of the season by a poll of coaches and sports writers, it was dis- covered that all of the iron men had as good a right as anyone to be selected, but, probably in order to preserve peace among the league members, the group picked Ebling, Pralle, and Kappelman of Kansas, Groves of Kansas State and Wahlquist of Nebraska. Dr. Allen him- self admitted that his first five men were the best of the lot because of their excel- lent records, both on offense and defense, but the committee of selection found it difficult to forget the play of Frank Grove, all-conference center last year, who ranked second to Ebling in scoring averages and set a season ' s record of 128 points, only to find it smashed by the same Ebling, as well as George Wahl- quist, spark plug of the Nebraska fire engine, who was third in average scoring. Perhaps the most encouraging note in the outlook for next year ' s team is the expected fine performance of Fred Pralle, who has been one of the team ' s outstand- ing players this season in this, his sopho- more year, and who should prove one of the most valuable men on the 1937 team. Pralle averaged 7.7 points per game from his guard position and will be expected to continue in the scoring vein that he struck midway in the season after a slow start. After all, there is nothing more disconcerting than to have someone stand beyond your reach and sink shot after shot with that well-known swish, as the Jayhawks discovered in their hysterical meeting with Baker University, when the long-range marksmanship of Rudy Beiser almost cost them the game. A tribute to Kansas ' four seniors, Eb- ling, Allen, Kappelman and Shaffer, would indeed be well earned, but well- informed supporters refuse to become pessimistic over the prospects for next season, for the play of the first and sec- ond year men has been extremely prom- ising. The close victories over Baker and Utah State were coined with second- string men in the lineup, and ten experi- enced men in addition to a group of promising freshman will return next year to compete for positions on the team. Probably Dr. Allen will not be forced to rely on five men as he did this year and it is evident that such a situation will be a distinct advantage over that of this year, for that matter, probably more than any other, was responsible for the Jay- hawkers ' downfall at the hands of Utah State. KAPPELMAN APRIL, 1936 Both losses were suffered with Kappelman on the bench as a re- sult of a severe knee injury received in the first contest, and in the 51-31 route Noble was playing under the handicap of a tightly-ban- daged leg and was unable to go the full route. Undeniably Utah State was superior in strength and stamina, for their victories were earned in the last half on each occasion, when the Kansas iron men were pretty well ironed out. However, the sensational play of Ebling, even in defeat, marks him as the best man on the floor in that historical series. Kansas won the right to meet Utah in the pre-Olympic play-off by defeating Washburn and Oklahoma A. M., both by close margins. The first game saw them meeting unexpected resistance by a fighting Washburn five, who forced the Jayhawkers to extend themselves to the limit to win, 33 to 30. Milt Allen scored 11 points to lead the Kan- sas scoring, the Jayhawkers set themselves for a tough battle against the Oklahoma Aggies the next evening and got it, with a vengeance. 306 THE JAYHAWKER Let ' s play monopoly Pointing out the fact that all too few people take part in student activities by BETTY RUTH SMITH TAST night, the three of us, Margie, J-i Jane, and myself, performed our usual trick and joined forces in room number thirteen for one of our fine talk- fests. It ' s sort of a. silly trick, for we ' re al- ways so sleepy next morning that we can ' t stay awake in class, and we usually have to discuss the same subject again for it is impossible to remember all we said about everything. But last night was per- fect for a long session, and what are we but poor, weak mortals? About twelve o ' clock we simulta- neously decided it was high time to quit studying and just as we were going to bed, Jane turned on the radio to an organ program. There ' s something about the soft, sweet tone of an organ, espe- cially at that time of night, that well, you just can ' t help feeling sort of re- flective and philosophical. So we three just sat around and said a little about ever ything for a while, really nothing very important, when Jane started it all by saying that she wished something would happen around here and that she was tired of just go- ing to school. What do you mean just going to school? Margie said, Why the days aren ' t 4ong enough to do half the things that are required or a third of the things you ' d like to do. Then we all started talking at once, and there was such a general uproar that we lost some statements which might have had the beginnings of an idea behind them. The only thing to do was to use some system, and so we tried to remember Emily Post and all Mother had taught us and not rudely interrupt each other. Margie, I think, was really a little up- set by Jane ' s statement that nothing ever happened. You really couldn ' t blame her, for she had crowded about four different meetings into that one day, with a dash of studying and classes, and she was just tired enough to take offense at any- one who dared to question the state of activity on this campus. Anyway, she started in on Jane, gave a list of every- thing that she had done that day and said she felt that she had really ac- complished something instead of loaf- ing the time away after classes were over. That time it was Jane ' s turn to seem indignant, and for a while it looked as if a private little argument for two would occur. At that point I demanded some attention because I found an idea from somewhere, and so it started into a free-for-all again. Two hours later we had a few fairly concise ideas about this activity ques- tion we really catalogued some types and put them away. If you have time, that is if you won ' t be bored, I ' ll take them out of their pigeon holes for you. As far as we can define them there are three definite types the indiffer- ent, those who occasionally participate, and the so-called activity girls. RENUNCIATION WITHOUT BITTERNESS You will read my lines And in them read all love and sorrow I have felt. Here, you will say, she pictures me But no, my dear, it is not you Or any other Only a creature of my mind, Created in a dream that lived and died A life. You will read them, wondering, Why did she not tell me this? But. oh, you ' ll never comprehend The thousand things I would have said But held my peace. You see Knowing I could hurt you, stun you, Sting you with my words, I did not give them form; Being content with my potentiality. I would not hurt you as I myself was hurt. The lines you read are not to you; I wrote them for myself to prove their worth. CORNELIA ANN MILLER RENCONTRE We met again forgetting How you ' d hurt me all along, Remembering only love of yesterday. We met again forgiving All the pettiness and wrong And lost our hearts again the same old way. CORNELIA ANN MILLER The indifferent type we always have with us. The campus has a large major- ity of men and women who are con- tent to remain in their little groove, knowing a comparatively small number of the people they pass daily on the campus. There is no doubt that there are enough and varied outlets offered by different clubs and organizations on the Hill to give them free sway for any ex- cess energy and to widen their range of friendships. It is really a sad fact that more of this group do not avail them- selves of the opportunities offered. The hustling, bustling activity people are the exact opposite they readily speak to each person they see on the campus, have their day divided into many and various meetings and seem to have influence in any organization of any size or importance. This group is easily in the minority, and it is perhaps best, for no campus could hold a large group of this type who, though they are usually sincere in their efforts, are so uncon- sciously funny. Margie said that this opinion of the activity people is most unfair after all, she said, it ' s usually the indifferent type who force the willing people to exert a little energy into so many organizations that they are unable to do justice to all of them. Jane said that she preferred the in- between type, although she probably would be classed in the passive group. The middle type, she thought, were the smartest ones. They didn ' t exhaust their physical and mental resources by signing themselves into too many things; they tried to enter actively only those fields in which they were efficient or preferred. All together they received more benefit from their interests than any other group. And so you see, our discussion, or ar- gument if you like, went on and on. We finally decided that insistence on partici- pation in campus activities is an excel- lent idea. Such activities cause one to think on varied subjects, to meet and co-operate with people and receive one part of your education from sources that books cannot give. Those people who ignore all Hill activities do so because they cannot see the benefits derived from them those intangible, non-mercenary rewards. APRIL, 1936 307 A carillon for K. U.? A memorial tower among envisioned improvements for the campus by J. HUBERT ANDERSON THE campus of today ' s University of Kansas is no more a finished product than was yesterday ' s campus when only a single building stood on North College Hill. Seventy years have come and gone since one hundred students attended the first classes in 1866. And in those years, the school enrollment has increased forty times the original figure. Not one, but twenty-eight buildings are now included in this vast educational organization. But the Jayhawk is in its infancy; it is still a growing bird. The men who are its builders are practical dreamers with a vision that reaches years ahead. Their plans call not for unnecessary expansion and useless expenditures, but for enlarge- ments of existing structures and for new buildings which will take care of real present needs. Not only will the university profit in the years to come by the fulfillment of these plans concerning her educational system, but she will figure prominently in the project to construct a memorial to the pioneers of Kansas. Chartered by the secretary of the state is an organization called the Kansas Pioneers Memorial Cor- poration, whose main office is in Lawrence. Professor Olin Templin, himself a pio- neer who has been an active participant in the making of Jayhawker history, is one of the leaders in this movement to establish a fitting tribute to the early-day state builders. The purpose of this Corporation is to secure a better understanding of the early years in Kansas and a more just apprecia- tion of the labors of the pioneers in all sections of the state. To this end all suit- able means will be employed, including the erection of a memorial to the pio- neers. The Articles of Incorporation further state that any person, school or society may become a member of this corporation by subscribing to a declara- tion of willingness to aid in the attainment of its purpose. The specific form which this memorial will take and the place for its erection have not been chosen. The task of formu- lating these plans belongs to a board of trustees who will be men and women rep- resenting the entire state. However, because of her important part in Kansas ' earlv days, Lawrence is already favorably looked upon as being the appropriate city in which to build the memorial. Just what this structure will be is yet to be decided. Professor Templin has long dreamed of a carillon tower or campanile that would rise between three hundred and four hundred feet into the air as a striking monument in which the generations to come might see symbolized the hardy and stalwart qualities possessed by their ancestors. He stressed that such a tower, although imposing, should be distinguished for its simplicity, patterned possibly after the world-famous Washing- ton Monument at our nation ' s capital. If this proposed carillon is finally selected and no one can be certain that it will be it would have a ground floor of halls and a historical museum. An elevator would be built with which to ascend the tower, and the bells would occupy a place in the top. Professor Templin stated that whatever was built should belong to the entire state and not just to a comm unity or a locality. Obviously the undertaking, in order to be well done, will involve a large expenditure of money, possibly $250,000 or $300,000 if the carillon is (Continued on pjgc }22 ) ONE IDEA FOR THE MEMORIAL K.

But such is not the case, for as relentlessly as a government criminal bu- reau the Alumni Association endeavors to keep in contact with him. By means of information cards, a clipping service with newspapers, free-will letters, and personal interviews, information is col- lected and classified by the Alumni Of- fice staff, headed by Fred Ellsworth. There is a complete record of some 17,- 000 graduates and 9,000 past students now in the office files. These records con- tain all kinds of data pictures, news- paper clippings, marriage announcements, and letters concerning alumni. As a further means of keeping in con- DIRECTORS tact with graduates, the Alumni Asso- ciation periodically offers the Graduate Magazine and the Alumni News Letter. Homecoming celebrations are also spon- sored by the Association, as well as are meetings of Kansas University graduates in various cities throughout the world. There are organized associations of K. U. graduates in most of the important cities of the United States. Few students realize that the Alumni Association is the executive force of many of the school ' s activities. It plays an important part in the organization and financing of Band and Glee-Club trips. The present band uniforms were pur- chased by the Alumni Association, and the Stadium and Union Building were constructed as a result of its energy and financial aid. It also acts as the contact agency with the State Legislature, giving advice and suggestions to the members of that body in regard to the affairs of the school.

Although the magazine contains con- siderable technical material of particular interest to engineers, it also has some excellent editorials and feature stories. Furthermore, the humor section under the title of Slide Rule Slips contains some really current jokes and stories that often outdo some of our other humor ( ?) publi- cations. The articles on current engineering developments are cleverly written, and of interest to the average person unini- tiated in engineering terminology. An alumni page is devoted to those who have graduated, telling their present location, and the position they hold. Some of the more literary minded write special fea- tures, and poetry of the Sandburg type, which might easily be the compositions of an English major. The Kansas Engineer was founded in 1915, and was admitted to the En- gineering College Magazines Association in 1923. This association comprises some of the outstanding college engineering publications in the United States, and endeavors to maintain a high standard in this field. This association has given the Kansas Engineer a rating of A, which it well deserves.

Frank Neal and George Wright were the local delegates, and the information which they obtained at the convention has aided them greatly in placing the Kansas Engineer at the top of the list of successful engineer- ing publications. Circulation is usually between 750-1000 copies, approximately two-thirds of which are subscribed to voluntarily by the students in the Engi- neering school, and the remainder sent out to graduates and exchanges in all parts of the world. Management of this publication is in the hands of a managing board, composed of the Managing Editor, the Editor, the Business Manager, the Advertising Man- ager, and the Circulation Managers. This board determines and dictates the policy of the magazine, and is responsible for each edi tion. Assisting them are the edi- torial staff which has charge of the different editorial departments, and also a group of assistants to the editorial staff which writes articles, edits material, and prepares the magazine for publication. There is a faculty advisory committee to help whenever necessary, but it is the (Continued on page 321 ) A TYPICAL ENGINEER COVER APRIL, 1936 313 The engineering council Governmental problems within the school are capably handled by the engineering council THE Engineers with hairy ears, those hardy have worked out a sys- tem of ' student government which couldn ' t be beat by a political science professor. This school, which is the larg- est at Kansas University outside of the college, engages in numerous activities, and undertakes many projects that re- quire some efficient central governing body. The Engineering Council fills this need very well, and its smooth func- tioning and ability to really get things done might well be copied by other or- ganizations. It is worked out on a very representative plan. Each class is allowed one delegate, and each division within the Engine school is allowed one delegate. The officers, President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer, are elected by the entire school. This group of engineers has innum- erable tasks both large and small. One of their first activities is the mainte- nance of the Engineering book exchange. This exchange is run independently of the other book exchange, and handles only the books used by the engineers. This activity not only makes a small profit for the council, but enables the students to save considerably on rather expensive texts. An acquaintance smoker for engineers is sponsored by the Council, which is designed to bring together all the new and old students during the first few weeks of school. Other social activities which are supported by the Engineering Council, include the annual banquet, the Hobnail Hop, and the selection of the Engineer Queen. These events in themselves would require a great deal of time and effort, but they are just part of the duties of the Engineering Council. Incidentally, the boys over there did an unusually good job in picking their Queen, Elizabeth Shearer, and the Hob- nail Hop was one of the best too. The council meets every other week, on alternate nights with the Men ' s Stu- ' dent Council. One of the biggest jobs the Council will encounter this spring will be the preparation for the Engineering Exposi- tion, which is held every other year at by BOB COREY the same time as the Kansas Relays. Ex- hibits in every field of engineering, as well as all the latest development, will be shown at the Exposition. At the last Exposition more than three thousand persons visited the engine school. Other programs handled by the Coun- cil are the plans for the field day, and for special meetings and lectures. The Council also acts as publicity agent for the school, and handles all programs, ticket sales and other activities of the school. The members of this group for the year 1935-1936 are: President Frank Neal V ice-President Bob Williams Secretary-Treasurer Russ Young Senior Representative John Kerr Junior John Seigle Sophomore Howard Moreland Freshman George Russel Civil Engineering Representative Ed Phelps Mechanical Lewis Benz Electrical Dean Ward Mining George McCoy Architectural Curtis Besinger Chemical Gordon Miller THE ENGINEERING COUNCIL Back rou-: MORELAND, WARD.

Went on a little scouting trip past Brown ' s grove last Friday night saw 15 cars, counted 15 smouldering campfires, two girls combing their hair prior to go- ing home not another soul in sight. See the Athletic Department is fixing up the golf course down by Potters Lake again ; wish they would hurry and put in a few grass greens, would make it much easier for us unfortunates who have no cars in which to get out to Brown ' s Grove. It will also be nice when the grass around the campus gets high enough to cover up the barnyard appearance that is so prevalent. It is sort of embarrassing to have a carload of people stop and ask if this is the agriculture college. A little word of advice to Professor Wallace and friend Sue Stevenson. Bet- ter confine your intimacies to nature and the great outdoors instead of a student hangout. Pi Phis are peeking, and while a Pi Phi may be dumb, she knows enough arithmetic to put two and two together and make a nice little scandal out of it. A little conversation between Virginia Taylor and an ardent admirer while ne- gotiating for a blind date the other day culminated when the impudent fellow asked if the girl necked. Neck? came back the answer quick as a flash. Neck! Well, we don ' t pledge them unless they do. Virginia is a Gamma Phi, and never mind the phone book fellows, number ' s 267. Adv. We have heard tales about Chi O ' s Meyn, and we ' ve heard tales of Kappa ' s Hay, but even old Winchell was sur- prised the other day when word comes back from the City that Alexia Marks was seen going into one of the all-night clubs at five in the morning. George A. Fry ' 35 of Sigma Chi fame showed up at sister Dorothy ' s senior re- cital recently. The thing one notices about George in particular was the reappear- ance of that brilliantly jeweled White Cross which Dorothy Foster kept under cover when she was i n school. Dutch dating reveals only one little story. Milo Sloo, an enthusiastic con- former, was so much in earnest with the idea, that when Bette Lemon said thumbs down, he failed to show up at the Pi Phi house the night of the W.S.G.A. Carnival until he had gone and had his fun. In due time some three hours late he called for his date. I understand Roy Crawford, Delta Chi. ventured out to a recent Pan-Hell dance (they have so many anymore it ' s hard to make one ' s self clear) with a crimson tie wound round his neck. Nothing slow about the Delta Chis. Eddie What the well dressed college boys are wearing Rice says that Esquire will feature the red numbers next fall. Speaking of Eddie Rice brings mem- ories of a tale concerning a Theta blanket which he had in his possession, but for which he had no use. Wishing to dis- pose of said evidence, he propositioned one of the better Kite girls to raffle it off. The deal fell through in the end, however, because when she rose from the dinner table and asked if anyone would take a chance on a Theta blanket for a quarter, no offers were forthcoming perhaps all the Thetas have blankets. If you should happen to wander into the Gamma Phi house some fine evening and chance to be standing in the library when some thousand gallons of water come rushing down upon your head, just stick your head around the corner and yell up for some one to turn off Bert White ' s bath water. It ' s just an old Covey Chase custom that is becoming a K. U. habit with Bert. Twice now has she let the tub overflow on two floors while she sat high and dry in the phone booth en- grossed in conversation. Adv. Would give a pretty penny to know the girl Penny Beaver Backwoods Ewers trundled to the Junior Prom. Without a doubt she is the original sun-kissed girl, but what gets me is how in the world she was able to keep that dress up and when she danced well I guess all ' s not cold that jitters. The Intramural Frolic calls for a few remarks the Fiji Corny Homers got away with murder when they won that cup The Betas as usual walked off with the biggest cup More fraternities should go in for that Pass the Loving Cup Around song Chi Omega certainly had the beauty and the Thetas had the talent it was a tight fight. The Sigma Chis should have pulled that chain when the Phi Psis re-enacted the Dionne Jackpot The sorority stunts stood head and shoul- ders over those of the fraternities. B. H. Humphrey, a former sailor, de- cided to go out for the K. U. swimming APRIL, 1936 315 team. He sunk six bucks in on a new silk bath- ing suit, but during the entire season garnered but one lone point. Six dollars is high stakes in any man ' s game, I ' d say. Noticed several Chi Omegas practicing the noble art of roller skating recently. Good reason- ing could prevent a lot of this unnecessary waste of time so few paved roads in these parts. I see by the Kansan that Pi Beta Phi enter- tained the members of the Phi Delta Theta at a recent Sunday dinner. Must have been a long drawn out affair for the Pi Phis, who aren ' t used to eating in shifts. On a survey of affairs and such before every- one had gone home for Easter, one of the better sorority houses boasted three cars filled with boys poised in waiting before the house at a late hour. A second look revealed six shadowy forms de- taching themselves from the depths of the house scampering to the waiting cars to be wafted away to a second date. Violet McKone, minute Gamma Phi pledge, has a persistent boy friend in Leo Freed. Although not going steady, Leo manages in some w?y to be on hand when Vi comes home from a date with one of the others, presumably to see in what condition she gets home. Darned clever, say I, but probably very irksome to the other would-be suitor. Understand that the Sigma Chi Masque party was the real McCoy. A ' Back to Prosperity ' affair from all reports. The party a Dante Inferno one started in an old Negro church early in the evening with a sermon to save the wicked college youth, moved on to Ericksen ' s Hall for an hour of dancing, followed by another hour at the Lawrence Country Club which typi- fied Hell proper with the visitors crossing over the River Styx amid all the fire and brimstone. At eleven the party moved on to the Sigma Chi house to enjoy one last hour of dancing to the combined music of Red Blackburn and Wayne Wright. The party was an abbreviated affair, at least in the respect of some of the costumes which for the most part allowed for the greatest free- dom while dancing. Most of the girls wore red while the boys were garbed in black pants, red shirts, devils caps and pointed tails, quite typi- cal of the modern idea. Olive Adele Krehbiel, Kappa, as a Shady Lady, won the prize for the most clever and original costume It must have been a Hell of a good doin ' s. Good observers could have seen some dozen of the local talent in the mob scenes in the opera Carmen the other night . . .

Delta Tau Delta has re- cently anonunced the pledging of one Robert A. Schroeder, honor student over at the Law barn. Bet the D. T. grade average will soon go soaring . . . The Informer John P. Dieter, Phi Beta Kappa, and member of Sigma Chi, all rolled up into 120 pounds, brings us the information that certain Gamma Phis, a freshman and two sopho- mores, are sure to be on the Sigma Chi ' s black list before end of the semester. In the course of one week, all three broke dates, two being broken in the stead of other Sigma Chi brothers . . . there was a time, said Dieter, when Gamma Phis were glad to see the Chi boys show up at the G P house . . .

It was nice and cold and snowy and the general weather was anything but that for spring clothes. Anyway, our campus fashion plates were conscientiously stocking up on new spring wardrobes but not finding much of an opportunity to wear them. So here ' s a wager that during the Easter vacation that the home towns around here surely got a preview of what ' s really new and smart, long before we got a chance to see them. We ' ve been predicting color and more of it in men ' s wear for some time now, and at last it looks as if our dreams or predictions or what have you are really coming to life. Take for example the sit- uation at the Sig Alph house. Bud Morley and Eddie Arnsberger have blos- somed out in a couple of smart looking green gaberdines, single breasted models with the new full sport backs, gathered at the belt. Morley completes his ensem- ble with a pair of gray flannel worsted slacks with a medium green and rust overcheck that bids to be a plenty smart outfit. Dave Roberts of the same lodge has a new brown hound ' s tooth check sport coat that is plenty springy and plenty smart. Junior Allspaugh and Paul Trees have taken to gaberdine, too, with new single breasted brown sport models, of slightly differing shades and also both carry the new self check that is gaining favor with the gaberdine wearers this year. Jack Townsend brought out a plenty good looking Glen plaid sport coat in a grey with gusset shoulders and side vents and wears grey chalk stripe trousers to make a clever ensemble. Junior Libel, out at the Sigma Nu house, was said to have shattered the peace and calm usually prevailing in the Gamma Phi living room when he saun- tered in the other afternoon attired in a rough finish tan with brown check num- ber, known as a rumba jacket, which is distinguished by having a yoke not only in the back, but which comes around in front of the shoulders as well. The model also carries a full belt giving the appear- ance of a Norfolk Jacket that is all dressed up. Bob Averill, another of the Sigma Nus, prefers a grey double breasted chalk stripe model, carrying full drape at the shoulders. This is as dressy a num- ber as will be seen this year from the standpoint of pure style. While at the Sigma Nu house, it would pay you to get a look at Dick Mason ' s green gaberdine, a single breasted number with center vent and full gathering at the belt, no yoke on the shoulders. The Phi Psi clothes situation seems to be pretty well under the control of Stew Landrum and Smith Ainsworth. Smith has a plenty dressy double breasted grey pin stripe, with plenty of drape in the shoulders and closely tailored through- out. Stew broke out in one of the smarter gaberdines for this year, a real light grey with a self stripe on the herringbone order. It is also a double breasted model, with patch pockets. Before going farther it is important that we mention the shirt situation. Truly color has invaded the field and what ' s more, the boys are taking to it like ducks take to water. The Kent collar in plain and button down models is lead- ing and is seen on practically all of the sportier shirts which are being worn in much rougher textured and appearing clothes than before. Arrow ' s shirt of the month which is featured prominently in Esquire every month is a typical example of this trend. Bill Townsley, cheer leader, wrestler, etc., and also a Phi Delt, has a new suit that surely deserves mention. It ' s a med- ium hard finished worsted, tan in color (Continued on page 326) DECIDEDLY DRESSY The most up-to-date models and the smartest fabrics in suits. The newest sport coats. The best selection of odd slacks in town. They ' re all yours at APRIL, 1936 317 WEAVER ' S Spring ' s in the Air aNd ti e For a paiR . . . of sPring sHoeS ROYAL COLLEGE SHOPS Feminine fashions SPRING is here, finally, with all the usual fixings March winds and Kansas dust storms. This season, fair coeds, you may be anything you desire; variety is the pass-word of the season ' s designers. If you feel frivolous and gay, strut out in an old-fashioned full skirt, taffeta petticoat, flowers, birds there is no limit. Or if, on the other hand, you have a desire to be exotic, sophisticated, fashion suggests you try on Oriental cos- tume. You may appear to be as many dif- ferent types of individual as is possible for one person. To begin with, let us take coats as a dominate figure in a spring wardrobe. The most perfect dress coat for a smart young woman we ' ve seen this spring is the one of Martha Dodge, Kappa. It is a luscious creamy yellow, not unlike chamois color; the back is full, and a huge yellow fox collar makes a sensa- tional-looking garment. For a different type coat, we would suggest you notice Philomena Bourasso ' s of Watkin ' s Hall. Hers is sporty, full length brown suede, very fitting for school purposes. And about the time April rolls around, we ' ll all be searching in the deep, dark cor- ners of our closets for raincoats, which really can be quite smart looking. Mer- edith Dyer, of Theta, has one of brown gaberdine, with a wide belt and white buttons not an unhandy thing to own on this campus. Suits are still in the foreground, in all styles and forms you may look extremely feminine or as oppositely mascu- line as you dare. Charrie Hay, Kappa pledge, is reminiscently Gibson-girl in a gray tailored suit with full shoulders and a pleated blouse of white pique. Peggy Wilcox, Pi Phi, with her blonde coloring looks stunning in a soft yellow two-piece suit, with British tan shoes and hat. The hat, by the way, resembles closely those worn by the pioneers on the early West- ern frontier quite a novel idea. Mary Ruth Pyle, also a Pi Phi, wears an indis- pensable suit of aquamarine, set off with a collar of chinchilla. Gray accessories complete this to make a most outstanding ensemble. Chinchilla trimming is also an important feature on the suit Barbara Simpson, Kappa, chooses. Hers is of the dress and jacket style, the jacket being exquisitely trimmed around the neck, down the front and around the bottom by HER with the fur. For the three-piece suit, don ' t overlook Bernice Burn ' s, of Kappa. The material is a mixture of blue and white, the suit itself simply tailored, with a casual coat worn over it. Classic tailor- ing gives this a new swing and freedom. The new bolero line in afternoon dresses is quite prominent right now. Have you seen the one Betty Tholen, Kappa, features? It ' s thoroughly Spanish, of navy blue material, short bolero jacket, white blouse, and a huge red sash, which adds a vivacious line to the gown. We don ' t know whether she knit it herself, but Ruth Esther Purdy, Chi Omega, does look trim in a blue-gray knit suit of soft yarn, with large sleeves adorned with buttons from shoulder to wrist. Isabel Perry, Pi Phi, has a pert, bright green patent leather hat, sailor style, which is an added attraction to her gray tailored suit. Spring formals have not made much of a showing yet, but several have been noticed at various functions. We ' re waiting for the Senior Cakewalk to bring out the girls in their newest finery. Betty Jane Campbell, Pi Phi. is right in keep- ing with fashion in a brightly flowered formal, which has a contrasting blue panel. Gertrude Field, of the same house, is quite attractive in a black and white printed taffeta formal, trimmed with white around the skirt and neckline.

In the inter-district tournament with Utah State at Kansas City March 25, 26 and 28 to determine which team would go to the New York Olympic finals, the Jayhawk got its feathers plucked, winning the first game, but dropping the last two. In the first game on Wednesday, the Kansans needed an overtime period to win, 39-37. On Thursday night, the con- secutive victory string was snapped at twenty-three, when K. U. lost, 42-37. Bruised and battered, with Francis Kap- pelman out with an injured leg and Ray Noble only able to hobble about the court, the Kansans returned to the floor Saturday night and were completely routed, 50-31. Ray Ebling completed the most bril- liant basketball record ever achieved here. His records follow: He became the individual high scorer of the conference for the third year in succession, surpassing Albert Peterson ' s record of 1926-27. He made a season ' s record of 141 points, the highest number made by any player in the ten game series. He tied with Frank Groves of Kan- sas State for total number of points scored in competition this year with a 221 total. He made 624 points in three years of varsity competition. The highest num- ber any K. U. player has ever made. Is it any wonder that Ebling was chosen All-American last year, and prob- ably will be named on the United States Olympic basketball team this year!

M. had earned the right to meet Kansas with a 36-19 victory over Ne- braska the preceding evening to keep their season ' s record unblemished. They were in front 18 to 15 at half time, and midway in the second half held a 24-22 advantage, but the indomitable fighting spirit of the Kansans pulled them out to a 34 to 28 victory. After the game Phog made his now famous No-Big- Time statement. I do not favor ' big time ' basketball, and as soon as the Olympic competition is over, will keep the Jayhawkers on college campuses. It appears to be not only an admirable de- cision, but a wise one. After a 39-to-37 overtime victory in the first game, Kansas entered the sec- ond contest without the services of Kappel- man, and although they held their own during the first half, at the end of which the score was deadlocked at 19-all, the Jayhawks saw an early second half lead erased and with it the victory. Utah dis- played a species of uphill-fight that had the crowd of 7,000 on their own feet and those of their neighbors, and in the pro- per winning mood came back for the next game to take a 20-16 advantage at half- time and romp away in the second period from the crippled Kansas team. Oh well, the Jayhawkers would probably have had a hard time of it at the Olympics, what with not being able to speak German and all. Ebling counted 47 points in the three contest to win all individual scor- ing honors, however. (Continued on page 319) Feminine Fashions (Continued from page 317) Spring fashions are always exciting; through them a happy medium is reached between old winter clothes and hard-to- care-of summer dresses. In another month, we inconsistent women will be discarding these very styles for the long laborious task of keeping white shoes and dresses looking their best. One am- bitious lass, Virginia Wallace, Alpha Chi, has already been seen wearing white shoes to school. All we can say is, Don ' t rush the season! APRIL, 1936 319 Cage Championship (Continued from page 318) It is a well-known fact that you can always start another winning streak im- mediately after one is terminated, so Kansas supporters will be looking for- ward to, and perhaps expecting, one to begin with the first game of next year. And now a brief resume of the last half of the conference season, replete with thrilling but convincing victories by one of Kansas ' outstanding basketball teams, is in order: Following the 42-36 defeat of the Sooners on February 8, the Jayhawkers trekked to Manhattan on February 15, to smother Kansas State under an avalanche of baskets and came home on the long end of a 52 to 34 count. As usual Ray Ebling led the Kansas scoring, tallying 13 points, followed closely by Noble and Pralle with 10 markers each. Incidentally, Ebling scored the 400th point of his col- lege basketball career late in the first half and continued to lead the conference ' s individual scorers for the th ird successive season. The Jayhawkers ' 17th victory of the season came at the expense of little Washburn college on February 19. The Ichabods had never given Kansas any trouble, with the possible exception of two of the two teams ' 21 meetings, when old man Law Of Averages took his tax. In 1913 and in 1929 the Ichabods man- aged to eke out one-point wins, but other than those two occasions had been within little more than shouting distance of the Jayhawkers. So when the results came back as 51 to 26, no one, including the Washburn supporters, was surprised. Ebling, as usual (this is getting mono- tonous), led the scoring, dropping in seven field goals and four free throws before being replaced. Noble tallied 11 points and Pralle 6, and the Big Three had won another. According to reports which leaked out of the Cornhusker stronghold, Nebras- ka was pointing for the meeting with the Jayhawkers as the high spot of the sea- son. It seems that they were not so much interested in taking the conference basket- SENIOR CAKE WALK RUIttSEY ALLISOI1 TELEPHONE 72 We are Members of F.T.D. ball leadership away from Kansas (inas- much as that was impossible), but merely wanted to spoil their perfect record. At that time Kansas had won 7 games and lost none, while Nebraska was in second place in the Big Six with 7 wins and two losses, so a Nebraska win would have no immediate effect on the title race. But the Cornhusker fire engine attack was of little avail, and, other than tiring both teams out from constant dashing from one end of the floor to another, was of no practical use. The final score of the contest was as follows: Kansas 43, Nebraska 36. The victory won for Kan- sas its fifth Big Six title in the seven years of the loop ' s existence, and was Coach Phog Allen ' s twentieth title in 25 years of coaching. Ebling, Allen, Noble, Pralle, and Kappelman all took a hand in the scoring, and Ebling ' s 16 points besides netting high point honors for the evening, put him just around the corner from a new conference record for total points in a season. The previous mark was 124 points, set by Tom Churchill of Oklahoma in 1929, and tied by Ebling in 1934, but was tied by George Wahlquist of Nebraska in the Kansas-Nebraska clash and exceeded by Frank Groves, Kansas State center, who counted 20 points against Oklahoma in his last appearance of the season on February 28 to run his total to 128. Ebling ' s total before his eighth conference game stood at 107, a mere 22 points from a new high mark. In view of his sensational scoring streak this year no one had the slightest doubt of his ability to count more than 22 points in two games, and he got off to an excel- lent start on March 3 by netting 20 points as the Jayhawkers trounced Okla- homa, 51 to 26. The never-to-be-taken-lightly Missouri Tiger crossed the border on March 6 and was dusted off lightly to the tune of 5 1 to 29, marking the fourth time in Kan- sas ' last five games that the Jayhawkers passed the 50 mark in scoring. Ebling set a conference scoring record, the team finished its first undefeated conference season, set a new high in team scoring averages to end one of the most success- ful seasons, in the Big Six and out, ever enjoyed by a Kansas team. Ebling counted 14 points to run his total for the season to 141, and the team average mounted to 42.2, breaking the record of 40, set by Nebraska this year. Naturally enough the loss of Ebling, Allen, Kappelman, and Shaffer will be felt when the next season rolls around, but extremely capable replacements have proved their worth. from the top of your bead to the tip of your toes the finest of young men ' s ap- parel, here for your choosing.

Alfred Landon ' s father, serving as county committeeman in Ohio, and as county chairman in Kansas, brought his son up in an atmosphere of politics. In 1912 Arthur Capper, now perpetual Sena- tor from Kansas, made in this campaign his first try for office. The automobile was then a comparative novelty. John Landon had one; he lent it together with his son as a driver, to the campaign. The volunteer chauffer helped the Senator by his knowl- edge of people and his shrewd advice. Governor Landon entered the World War in 1918 and became a first lieu- tenant in the Chemical Warfare Service. Making a short stay of it, Alf Landon swam upward in the submerged stratum of politics until 1928, when he managed Clyde Reed ' s campaign for governor, and won. Two years later Kansas went Demo- crat and elected Harry H. Woodring. In 1932 Governor Landon made the vital decision of his life and determined to have a try at it himself. ' The general election that November was a polticial curiosity. The goat gland specialist, Dr. John R. Brinkley, ran for governor as an independent, polling more than a quarter million votes. Landon won by a plurality. In 1934 he ran for re-elec- tion, the issue being the New Deal versus his own way with the economics of Kansas. He won by a majority of 62,000 votes. Governor Landon has man to man tactics and tricks of his own. He doesn ' t go around handing out cigars like an old-timer. His approach is Brother, have you got a cigarette that isn ' t working? His administrative career is marked by his sponsoring the Cash Basis Act, the Tax Limitation Law, and the Budget Law. Posing as no miracle man, he has nevertheless given Kansas a straightforward, sensible, business ad- ministration, reducing taxes, and expenses markedly, and allowing Kansans to live strictly within their means. So far as politicians can see at pres- ent, three issues will dominate the next national campaign economy in govern- ment, public relief, and that subsidy to the farmer that was symbolized by the A. A. A. How Landon stands on the first two issues, his record shows. As for the third, it is the crux of the matter. Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley, though he was not head of the institution at the time the Governor attended here, says on behalf of Kansas University, The remarkable strength of the move- ment for Governor Alfred M. Landon for President is a tribute to his admin- istration as Governor. His candidacy re- flects credit on the state and gives great satisfaction to the friends of the Uni- versity of Kansas, of which he is an honored alumnus. Senator Fred M. Harris of Ottawa, Kansas, who is a member of the State Board of Regents, supports the Gover- nor with these words. I have known Governor Landon when he was con- fronted with the most vexing of public questions. He has met them all cour- ageously, wisely, and sympathetically, and at no time has he lost his rare gift of common sense in his contact with men and events. The Young Republicans of Kansas, speaking through their president, Fred A. Seaton, also unqualifiedly indorse Al- fred M. Landon and the principles he stands for. Governor Landon is the man whom the young people of this country want in the presidency. Upon their shoulders will fall the major part of the tax burden now being piled up by the Democratic administration now in office. Young people, even more than old, are interested in reduced taxes and reduced governmental expenditures. Gov- ernor Landon ' s Kansas record shows clearly that he knows how this can be done without weakening the government itself or its functions. George O.

It was my privilege to ad- mit Alf. M. Landon to the student body of the University of Kansas and also my privilege to recommend him as worthy of graduation from the University of Kansas School of Law. He has brought great credit to his Alma Mater as Gov- ernor of Kansas, and greater honor will come to the institution through his ele- vation to the presidency of the United States of America, which begins to look very probable. The Landon for President Move- ment was first editorialized in The Kansas City Journal Post. But a competi- tive paper, The Kansas City Star, with the batteries of Lacy Haynes, Kansas man- ager, pitching, and Roy Roberts, editor, catching, nurtured the idea to adolescence while the pens of such gifted newspaper- men and Kansas citizens as Fred Harris of Ottawa, Oscar Stauffer of Arkansas City, William Allen White of Emporia, George Longan, Charles Scott and Fred Brincherhoff, brought the campaign to age. William Randolph Hearst announces that he considers Governor Alf. M. Landon of Kansas the hope for beating Frank- lin Roosevelt in 1936. The nation ' s press headlined the Landon movement, while radios spoke out with praises for Landon of Kansas. Governor Landon is threatening in his quiet and determining way to be evil po- litical tidings to his fellow Republicans, Messrs. Hoover, Borah, Knox and Ven- derburg. Kansans and loyal Jayhawkers of Alf. Landon ' s Alma Mater deem it a happy obligation to help Kansas have a president in the White House. He is a man to whom both Republicans and Democrats who are disgusted with the antics of the New Dealers are turning in increasing numbers every week, because they know what he says has a ring of sincerity and a background of practical experience.

This board of the President of the Engineering School, the Senior and Junior class delegates, the retiring editor and the business manager together with the faculty advisory committee, meets in the spring to select a new staff. This new group is quickly invested with their duties, as it is their task to publish the May issue. On the whole, the management of the Kansas Engineer is very well planned, and each unit cooperates to publish this successful and interesting magazine.

It is hoped that Jay Ber- wanger, Chicago ' s Ail-American half- back, and Don Elser, football flash from Notre Dame, will be here. Elser has been pushing the shotput out well over 48 feet in competition lately. Brutus Ham- ilton, former coach at the University of Kansas, and now track coach at the Uni- versity of Southern California, is ex- pected to bring 2 or 3 decathlon men from the west coast. Hamilton was the coach of the United States decathlon team in the 1932 Olympics. Incidentally, this event was won by Jim Bausch, for- merly of K.

The outstanding performance in last year ' s Relays was turned in by the relay team of the University of Iowa. These four boys broke two world records in the afternoon, running the 440-yard relay in 40.5 seconds and the 880-yard relay in 1:25.2. It is not known how many members of this team have been lost, but the school will enter a full team this year. The Kansas Relays shotput record is held by Elwyn Dees of Kansas, with a toss of 51 feet, 3% inches. It is no secret that Dees has his eye on the Olympic team and he will probably be one of the men who will go to Berlin. Last year the custom of naming a Re- lays queen from the student body was inaugurated. The queen ruled so graci- ously and successfully that the same idea will be carried out this year. The 32nd annual intelscholastic meet to be held in connection with the Kan- sas Relays is expected to be the largest ever held. Last year over 1500 high school students participated and it has been named as the largest meet in .the state of Kansas. A special event which has been run in the past few years and which will be a part of the program this year is a Kansas City, Missouri, High School Re- lay in which Paseo was victorious last year in the time of 3:46.7. All in all, something over 2,000 ath- letes are expected to be here to take part in this athletic spectacle which will command nation-wide attention. A Carillon for K. U. (Continued from page 307) built, which will be met by state-wide voluntary contributions. Not only will the students of future years in the university find an inspira- tional benefit in the carillon tower, should it be located on or near the campus, but they will attend school on a different campus than that which the students of 1936 know. No one can estimate how many years hence it will be when the campus will resemble the plan which was drawn several years ago by a Kansas City firm of architects; the result can only be visualized. As many as six additional buildings may some day be built. The possible sites which these will occupy are: (1) The location of the Commons building; (2) Just west of the observatory; (3) North- east of the circular flower bed on West Campus Road; (4) Approximate location of Myer ' s Hall ; (5) and (6) Two build- ings erected around a quadrangle north of the Administration building. Moreover, twelve dormitories for men and for women will be erected. A series of eight of these will be constructed in a development along the east side of West Campus Road. Four more will be added somewhere near the present site of Watkins Hall. All of these plans, in- cluding the locations of buildings, are, of course, tentative. These dormitories might have been realized sooner had a plan of financing which was in operation several years ago not been thwarted. At the time of the first occupancy of Corbin Hall, one of the girls ' dormitories, a fund was insti- tuted which represented the profits from the operation of the Hall. The plan was to accumulate these profits until such time as they would amount to enough to build another dormitory, and, from time to time, to add structures with the profits accruing from those dormitories already in operation. But this plan was nipped in its infancy when a short-sighted state legislature several years ago found that forty thou- sand dollars had thus been accumulated, and diverted the fund into the regular appropriation for the university an action that was neither wise nor justified. The fund has been started again, but whether it will finally be used for a dor- mitory or to make the record of a legis- lature seem to be tax-saving is a game in which the legislature is an odds-on favor- ite to win. Not only could the university use these dormitories, but its campus-building pro- gram for classrooms, laboratories and fine arts practice rooms is several years behind the necessity for these facilities. An acute situation among the room-shy medical sciences makes their need for a separate building most urgent. The Lawrence divi- sion of the school of medicine would be wiped out if a fire should strike the pres- ent trap in which it is housed, namely, the wooden-frame Commons building. Moreover, the students in medicine have classes scattere d in several other buildings over the campus. The classes of medical science in anatomy, physiology, bio- chemistry, etc., as well as laboratories (Continued on page 323) H I LLSI DE PHARMACY 9th and Indiana Curb Service We Deliver PHONE 1487 Spring Time Is Picture Taking Time D ' Ambra Photo Service 644 Mass.

(Continued from page }22) and quarters for the animals used in vivisection should be centralized in one building. Not only is the school of medicine suffering, but likewise are the various divisions in the school of engineering. Their enrollment is hovering around its all-time peak, with the chemical and the mechanical engineers leading the in- creases. More room for these divisions is necessary in order that the latest develop- ments in equipment may be added to keep the local school abreast of the universities in surrounding states. Other schools which are crowded are the school of fine arts, the school of edu- cation, and the school of pharmacy. Neither the fine arts students and faculty nor the other occupants of the Adminis- tration building are pleased with the present crowded and noisy arrangement of practice rooms, which are not sound- proof. Pharmacy students, too, are hard put to find room in the chemistry build- ing, and the number of students learning the apothecary ' s profession has rapidly increased since the passing of the recent state law requiring a four-year college course to precede the taking of the state pharmacy board examination. Student teachers in the school of education espe- cially need a larger, more adequate train- ing school than Oread High school in which to practice their pedagogy. Besides these improvements which are required by individual schools there are the expansions which must be made to buildings used by the university at large. Chief among these is the Watson Library. Housing over a quarter of a million vol- umes, the library is already crowded, and new books cannot be purchased freely because of lack of space. A new wing should be added to the building to pro- vide this necessary stack space. Then there is Dyche Museum. And what is that? ask the freshmen, the sophomores, the juniciS, and the seniors. Small wonder that there is general ignor- ance about a building condemned so long ago that several entire classes of students will have attended four years at the uni- versity without once being allowed to see some of the finest collections of ob- jects of natural history that have been assembled in the United States. On December 1, 1932, the board of regents, acting from an order issued by the state architect and the state fire mar- shall, dosed the doors of Dyche Museum to the public. Since that time, repair work has progressed sporadically, and, to this day, no one knows definitely when the building will again be ready for occu- pancy. The Museum was not just a stop- ping place for the idle curious. Nearly forty thousand visitors inspected the col- lections yearly, and students in art and in science made use of them in class assignments. How soon will funds be available for any or all of these building improve- ments ? The university has been unable to to take advantage of federal funds, other than for a small appropriation toward the work on Dyche Museum, because the state did not appropriate money to match the federal dollars. This same ultracon- servatism of Kansas legislatures has like- wise prevented the granting of outright sums to be used for building needs.

(Author ' s note: Molnar was not very specific as to the reasons be- hind this peculiar request, but by subtle insinuation and veiled references he did not leave much to the imagination of a college audience. Is this a com- mentary on the excellence of Molnar ' s ability or of the quality of the college students ' mentality?) Olympia, wrestling with the alternatives of public exposition of the scandal and its incipient social ruin for the family, or the private sully- ing of her own moral character, made the more pleasurable choice. The whole situ- ation was cleared up with the arrival of Prince Plata Ettigen. The Prince, having met Kovacs previously, and be- ing an old friend of the Captain ' s aris- tocratic father, by accepting him on a basis of equality and friendship exposed the ruse of identity to the manifest re- lief of the Princess and Olympia. Olym- pia, reassured of the eligibility of her for- mer lover and having once drunk from the fountain of intimacy, was willing to forgive and forget all, but Kovacs ' re- venge was to be complete. Admonishing her on the doctrines of democracy, he cast her love in her face and, like the dashing young blade he was, bade her a fond adieu, being off to other conquests. Olympia, because it is a translation from the French, loses much of its origi- ( Continued on page 325) APRIL, 1936 Olympia (Continued from page 324) nal spontaneity and freshness. There are several dialogues in the first two acts, particularly between Countess Lina and Princess Plata Ettigen that were rather tedious and soporiferous. The effect of the play is rather impaired by the great amount of inconsequential filler used by the author to take up time. Action progressed only sporadically in the first two acts, dragging and picking up in- termittently with the advent of new char- acters and new angles to ihe sequence. The play was particularly incongruous in its treatment of the subject matter. Most outstanding of the anomalies were the characterizations the author gave to Prin- cess Plata Ettigen and her daughter, Olympia. The former is portrayed as poised, ultra sophisticated, calculating and capable in the first act. (Her little, rather puerile barbed thrusts at the Countess were certainly a highly imag- inative treatment of the qualities of a lady ' s representing the upper aristoc- racy.) Then in the second act, her savior- faire was riddled by the turn of affairs (Kovacs ' subterfuge), and she is de- picted as nothing but a vain, addle- brained, incompetent woman. The most glaring inconsistency, though, was in the characterization of Olympia, thirty years old, widowed (thus experienced), and presumably a polished member of Aus- tria ' s smartest society. This idea certainly could not be received from the lines that forced Olympia to play the role of a weak-willed, devoted and deferential daughter, tied as it were to her mother ' s apron strings. Many of the lines that elicited the greatest laughs from the au- dience, when analyzed, are seen to be very crude. They were saved only by the sheer dramatic technique and spontaneity on the part of the cast. With this sort of a structure to build upon, it is little wonder that the play was so finished a piece of directive effort.

St. Lawrence, Kansas 326 THE JAYHAWKER Olympia (Continued from page 325) mum was got out of each scene by the actors, even at the expense of making some of the parts seem mechanical and too artificial. The comedy in the play was found in the absurd farcically and melo- dramatic situations presented. Some of the lines too were really clever in the light of the circumstances. As to individual characterizations, honors for the evening were univer- sally conceded to Jessica Crafton, who played the part of the Princess Plata Et- tigen. Mrs. Crafton ' s ability to wring the utmost out of every line, her witticisms, her subtlety and finesse in handling moods, won for her the acclaim of every member of the audience. It is to be re- gretted that her part in the third act was reduced to a mere superflintz. Professor Allen Crafton as Colonel Krehl, the stiff necked gendarme, was ludicrous in his role, playing it in the best Ben Turpin style. At the time of his entrance, low comedy would seem to have been the only thing that would re- vive the play from its lethargic state. His performance contributed new life and animation and immediately rekindled the audience ' s appreciation. None could deny the expertness with which Professor Craf- ton characterized the part as he chose to play it. The only criticism might be di- rected at his choice of typification. Norbert Anschuetz, carrying the role of Captain Kovacs, handled the part satisfactorily. His love making was ex- tremely unconvincing and adolescent, and his stage movements were too obviously mechanical. Yet, in spite pf these draw- backs, Anschuetz had a splendid mili- tary bearing and looked the part of a dashing and fascinating officer. His at- titude of devil-may-care insouciance par- ticularly fitted the role, and his diction and enunciation were unsurpassable. Betty Ruth Smith, playing Olympia, lacked the poise and maturity to carry the part at its best. Much of her time was spent in fluttering her hands in con- sternation and looking wide-eyed for no apparent reason at all. She did not give the part the force it needed and was car- ried along to a certain extent by Jessica Crafton. Part of the responsibility for this must be placed on the author of the play. On the other hand, her beauty and stage appearance were singularly distinct- ive and compensatory. Mary Myers Elliott, as Countess Lina, succeeded in making the audience dis- like her, which was the only reasonable excuse for the part. Hers was an es- pecially difficult role, and Mrs. Elliott showed much versatility and understand- ing in her representation of it. Don Dixon, playing the part of Count Albert, gave a typical bit part performance. Charles Pipkin as the Prince Plata Etti- gen, making a belated entrance in the last act, did not have much opportunity to contribute to the play. He did bring on an atmosphere of freshness and new life that bolstered the play considerably. How- ever, the general reflection was that he overplayed his rather unimportant part. After its four day showing in Little Fraser theatre, Olympia was taken on the road to Humboldt, Parsons, Emporia and Wichita, where it was appreciatively received by large audiences.

Ray Roberts, a Phi Delt, has a grey gaberdine, with self stripe and styled on the newer sport back lines, single breasted with a center vent. There is still a trend toward herring- bones as witness Stan McCool of the Phi Gams, whose spring suit is grey in a full tailored single breasted model. Harry Valentine, of the same lodge, is going to display a gaberdine in a grey double breasted, patch pocket, self stripe number. Junior Dickinson, who wears brown and wears it well, has picked a brown self check number in a gaberdine, single- breasted with side vents and knife pleats on the shoulder. The Kappa Sigs will go a long way to find a fellow with a nicer wardrobe than Jim Barnes. His latest is a brown, chalk stripe single breasted center vent model with the full belt in the back and knife pleats on the shoulders. Dwight Bridges of the same address has recently gotten a new grey which is a good looking suit. Dwight says, however, that the cold weather made him keep it in the closet. Among the professors we can ' t over- look Prof. J. F. Brown of the psychol- ogy department, who has one of the new rougher fabrics in a grey check, full tailored lines, with gusset shoulder and side vents. Jim Hitt of the Math, depart- ment has a new tan gaberdine of the whipcord type with a brown over check that ' s plenty snappy. The Pi K As are showing off Wade Pipkin in a new sport coat and slack com- bination of a blue grey plaid sport coat with a light grey flannel slack carrying an overplaid of blue and of red. Then, too, don ' t overlook the yellow sweater that sets off the costume. Geo. Osgood, another of the 1200 Louisiana boys, has one of the new doeskin gaberdines in a. real dark blue with gusset shoulders and side vents. Chas. Moore, a new member of the clan from Manhattan, is sporting a light blue, double breasted gaberdine with a full yoke back that ' s good looking. Harry Reitz, the pride of Delta Chi, is another of the exponents of the sport coat and slacks combinations. His is a brown plaid check coat, plain back, and he wears a tan checked slack with over- check of brown and grey. Shoes of the new sand color, reversed calf set off the ensemble. John Hamshaw of the same group picked a grey green single breasted gaberdine, with the shoulder gussets and side vents. Joe Pryor picked a smart green gaberdine with tan slacks to complete the ensemble. Perhaps the smart appearance of the well dressed campus man that Joe cultivates is designed to be in keeping with the magazine he edits this by way of conjecture only and not a prediction. Out at the Delt house Bob English sports a new brown gaberdine that is really smart. Single breasted, with the new full sport back and center vent. Don McMorran sports one of the new grey chalk stripe double breasted models, with plenty of drape in. the shoulders. All in all, we can readily say that smart clothes on the campus this spring are certainly in the majority. Gaberdines, of course, are still leading the list, but some of the new worsteds and french flannels are coming a close second, for the variety of pattern and shading that they give. Truly lack of space this time prevents us from more than touching here and there on the smart outfits. Which all leads back to a statement we made early in the year, that the men of Kansas are just as well or better dressed than at the majority of schools. A close check with the reports from our Princeton and Southern California correspondents bear this out conclusively and furthermore tend to show us in the lead on a lot of the smarter accessories.

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. MAY, 1936 337 THE JAYHAWKER The end of the trail by JAMES COLEMAN THE past few months have seen feverish activity on the Hill, as the year ' s affairs have meandered toward a dose and the pre-rush season on athletes and musicians has moved on apace. The Kansas Relays and the thirty-second annual In- terscholastic Track Meet drew a swarm of visitors of the first category, while the recently-held Mid-Western Band Festival brought so many high school students as to make some Uni- versity men and women even succumb to the lure of the yo-yo and the tin flute, perhaps under the mistaken impression that everybody had them. In truth, it did appear for a while that even ' man and his friend was fighting a yo-yo with one hand and fingering a tin horn with the other. And there are even some who say that the library was even noisier than usual, if possible. But the main bout of the year was held on April 21, when the representatives of the Society of Pachacamac and the Pro- gressive Student Government League stepped into the ring armed with a variety of weapons of the political variety and battled for the right to run the student government, such as it is, for next year. In a spirited contest marked, yes, even marked, by extra- ordinary peace, quietness and absence of mud, Pachacamac rode in on a wave of unexpected power, flooding all class offices with its candidates, but failing to gain a majority of votes in the Student Council, where, after all, votes are counted according to their political affiliation. John Milton Phillips, who is as well known for his abilities as an orator as for anything else, evidently outtalked Bob Thorpe, winner of several University speaking contests himself, and won by a close margin the Council presidency. Hubert Anderson de- feated Ross Robertson for the vice-presidency, while William Zupanec, another orator and an engineer, won over Frank Allen in the race for the duties of secretary. In the contest for control of the Council ' s finances, however, it was touch and go. Bill Townsley won on the first count, held the office for four days, and then lost when the election board suspected a miscount and after close scrutiny found it, awarding the of- fice to Dave Conderman, P.S.G.L. Other Council representatives elected were: Pachacamac. Martin Withers, Ferdinand Pralle, Dean Moorhead, Bill Smiley, John Coleman, Vee Tucker, Tom Brown : and P.S.G.L., Jack Townsend, Cordell Meeks, Stanley Marietta. Phil Raup, August McColIum, John Paul, Henry Parker, Dale Cushing, and Lawrence Smith. With two two-year representatives left over from last year, P.S.G.L. enjoys a slight margin of power in the Council, which fact, coupled with the fact that the president is a Pachacamac, should create some interesting situa- tions in attempts at legislation. Two amendments, one giving freshman and sophomore class presidents a vote in the Council, and the other creat- ing a student court, were passed. No sooner had the student court been established, or perhaps it was sooner, a case arose which demanded all the power and depths of the justices ' judicial perception. The situation, lest it be forgotten, was this: a crowd of students was gathered on the lawn in front of Fowler Shops, the scene of the weekly demonstrations of military technique staged by the R.O.T.C. Glaring signs pro- claimed to passers-by that a demonstration for peace held the stage, while Kenneth Born, one of a group of five speakers, exhorted the curious and the interested to fight for everlasting peace. Suddenly a peculiar smell was detected, a cloud of gas was seen floating over the crowd, and the meeting was thrown into confusion. Then the cloud lifted and there was Clyde Nichols, head cheerleader, sprawled on the ground, the result of a right to the head from one Ed Young, whom it was said he had accused of releasing the tear gas bomb. You will face 338 THE JAYHAWKER WELDERS DEMONSTRATE THEIR WARES worse than this in war, shouted Born with rare presence of mind, and the meeting was resumed while the remnants of the battle were taken to the student hospital. Witnesses said the bomb was released, however, by August Anneberg, a member of the National Guard, and the hastily organized Court held its first session amid a maze of conflicting evidence. Its decision, handed down three weeks later, was a masterpiece of legal composition frpm which a discerning reader might have gathered that the defendant was adjudged innocent of the heinous crime. Track fans had little opportunity to see University teams in action this spring, but the fourteenth annual Kansas Relays on April 18, provided a full day of entertainment for those ath- letically inclined, as a galaxy of stars from colleges and uni- mm versities all over the country gathered to compete for honors from the hand of Isabelle Perry, Relays queen. Two new records were set: the Emporia Teachers medley relay team set a new world mark in their event and Northwestern ' s sprint medley team turned in the fastest time ever recorded for that event. However, there is no recognized world record in sprint medley relay. Alma High School won in Class B and Summer in Class A as three meet records fell in the Inter- scholastic relays. The second annual Mid-Western band festival, sponsored by the University of Kansas band, opened on Thursday, May 7, to bring to a grand finale the annual Music Week. After excellent and well-attended concerts by William Harms, young concert pianist, the University a cappela choir, Roland Hayes, outstanding Negro baritone, the University symphony orches- tra, and a recital of chamber music by the University string trio, string quartet, and woodwind quartet, a horde of more than 2000 high school musicians descended on the city to participate in the festival which Russell L. Wiley, conductor of the K. U. band, inaugurated with outstanding success last year. Three days of competition for individual and group trophies were climaxed by a concert by a massed band of 500 young musicians, conducted by Prof. Wiley and other na- tionally known musicians, including Dr. Edwin Franko Gold- man, Earl D. Irons, Walter M. Smith, and Harold Bachman. Any questions existing in the .ninds of University students as to the relative merits and popularity of professors on the Hill was dispelled with the announcement of the Daily Kan- san ' s poll, on April 24. The Kansan ' s progressive manage- ment conducted a grade-your-prof campaign, and the results, although gratifying to a few Hill pedants, was on the whole a bit disappointing from the professorial standpoint. Dr. J. F. Brown of the department of psychology was named Honor Professor of 1936 with a grade point average of 2.8, with Dr. John Ise and Dr. A. M. Lee close behind. The sad part of the affair was that nine professors received grades of F, and were notified of their low standing in the hope that they would rectify the condition. On April 5 came a long-awaited announcement. The Board of Regents, probably as a result of student agitation and THE LAST DAY THE CRESCENT CLUB ENJOYS A HOLIDAY MAY, 1936 339 DOING THEIR CIVIC DUTY perhaps because of personal distate for the ugly steps lead- ing into Watson Library, ruled that the steps as originally planned would be constructed this summer, and would be ready for use next fall. Thus was demolished one of the Kan- san ' s favorite objects of satirical comment. Gunnar Mykland, president of the Men ' s Student Council and chairman of the National Student Federation of America convention held in Kansas City during the Christmas holi- days, was chosen as Honor Man of 1935, the announcement coming at the annual honors convocation on April 19- At the same time newly-elected members of Sachem, senior men ' s honor society, and Mortar Board, national honorary society for senior women, were announced. New members of Sachem are George Wright, Loren Craig, Frank Allen, John Chand- ler, John Phillips, Robert Thorpe, and Hubert Anderson, while new members of Mortar Board are Lela Edlin, Ruth Learned, Florence Lebrecht, Barbara Pendleton, Martha Peter- son, Beulah Pinneo, Betty Tholen, Martha Tillman, and Betty Ruth Smith. A rising organization, both locally and nationally, known as the Veterans of Future Wars, found itself in an em- barrassing position a few weeks ago when an official order denied it the privilege of holding any more meetings on the Hill. Evidently someone ' s hair was gotten into, but just who ' s is a matter only of conjecture. The Veterans had been taking an active part in peace movements, in fact, in any movements with which they fancied a connection. Although no subversive activity was noticed, there evidently was some, at any rate the Veterans received the well known boot. Kansas ' likelihood of being represented at the 1936 Olym- pic games in Berlin were brightened visibly recently when Glenn Cunningham, The Kansas Flyer, cracked the world record for the 1000-yard run and served notice on his com- petitors for the honor of representing the United States at the Games, if there are any, that he was not on the down grade, as some eager writers had remarked, but was only con- ducting a methodical training campaign and would be in his best condition this summer. Elimination of politics is aim of honor society read a headline in the Kansan April 28, coupled with an announce- ment that the Junior men ' s honor group would select new members soon. Members of the Society have formulated a plan by which they elect an equal number of men from each po- litical organization in order to realize their aim. It appears that men not affiliated with either Pachacamac or P.S.G.L. would be wise to join up soon if such a policy were followed, in the event that they desired to be elected to the Society, or each party might object to their election for fear of their solicitation by the other. Next to take the rap was the unlucky Sour Owl. A rul- ing by the University administration decreed that the Owl ' s profits, resting in a till somewhere in Ad building, would be forfeited if the magazine was offensive in any way in its re- maining issues for the year. Immediately student sentiment was aroused, by far the greater majority in favor of the pub- lication, and countless students on being interviewed expressed their surprise at complaints that the Owl was obscene or even risque. This younger generation! And now the Hill, beginning to take on the appearance of a seat of learning now that some students are cognizant of the fact that finals approach in large bounds, prepares to do honor to a class of over 1 1 00 graduates who find themselves, sadly, perhaps, at the end of their college career. The largest class in the history of the University will take their final look at scenes of work and play and turn, in most cases, to scenes showing a preponderance of work. Those students who have more enjoyable years to spend here can only pat themselves on the back and say Congratulations. DR. UNDLEY GREETS THE HONOR MAN 340 THE JAYHAWKER YAS!

It is high time that we openly, admit that America, shall be engaged in it. . . . To this end the Veterans of Future THE PUBLICITY MEN AT WORK Wars have united to force upon the Gov- ernment and the people of the U. S. the realization that all of us who will be en- gaged in the coming war deserve, as is customary, an adjusted service compensa- tion, sometimes called a bonus. . . . We demand that this bonus be $1.000 payable June 1. 1965 . . . We demand immediate cash payment plus 3% corn- founded semi-annually for 30 years back to ]unc 1, 193) Future soldiers of America unite! You shall have nothing to lose! With this preliminary salvo, students at Princeton began late in March the most recent of many college peace movements. Taking the events succeeding the last war as being indicative of those which will follow any future war, the Veterans of Future Wars projected themselves into the future and demanded that they now be given all the privileges and rewards of war veterans, in order that they may enjoy them while alive. Catching the spirit in which the move- ment was begun, new posts of the Veterans of Future Wars sprung up on nearly every college campus in America, a lobby was established in Washington, and Representative Maverick, of Texas, promised to introduce a bill in Congress calling for satisfaction of the veterans ' demands. Hand in hand with the cry for a bonus, came the request that there be set up a school to educate future diplo- mats, and a school for the purpose of training persons in the writing of atrocity stories these in order to insure our en- trance into the future war. Not to be out- done, co-eds organized into Ladies Auxi- liaries and began to clamor for trips to Europe in order that they might see the burial grounds of their future sons. With- in a month after the initial mobilization at Princeton, thousands of college stu- dents were cooperating in promoting this travesty on war; working with the hope that amidst their humor and satire might be seen a sincere and conscientious attempt to forward peace. Kansas University met the cry to make the world sale for hypocrisy with the establishment of Deathwatch Post No. 1. Under the leadership of Generalissimo Phil Renick, aided by subalterns, Hugh Hadley and Allen Merriam, Deathwatch Post No. 1 of the V.O.F.W. set out to make KU students fully aware of their status as future veterans. To every recruit was offered an officer ' s commission ; be- fore the eyes of R.O.T.C. students was dangled the prospect of a double bonus. Breasts were to be bestrewn with medals for future gallantry, and ever} ' veteran was to be glorified as a future hero. Stu- dents were warned don ' t join the peace strike, for with peace we will be unable to become future veterans. Meanwhile an exhaustive search was undertaken to locate the future unknown soldier and a prospective site was located for the build- ing of a campus memorial to future soldiers. Early in April Deathwatch Post No. 1 first came under fire. The heavily forti- fied recruiting station in Central Ad was attacked by a barrage of university rules and regulations ; the garrison fell before a withering verbal blast; and the veterans together with their straw-stuffed sand- bags and milk bottle cap medals were gently ejected. After this first skirmish General Renick strategically (and judici- ously!) retreated. However, General Headquarters soon announced the mobil- ization of the Kaw Kanoe Korps under the command of Kommodore Hadley; and, with the treasury bolstered by a ten cent appropriation from the Men ' s Stu- dent Council, a general advance and counter-attack is withheld only because of rains and impending finals. State and national officers of the Amer- ican Legion and of the Veterans of Foreign Wars have expressed great con- cern over the organization of the V.O.F.W. on our campus and upon those of other schools. Leaders in the V.O.F.W. have been told that they are (to quote ( Cmtnatd m faff 390 I RECRUITS WANTED 342 THE JAYHAWKER Senior, what now? Prospects for the class of ' 36 are the brightest for several years by JAMES PORTER NEARLY eleven hundred fifty grad- uates of the University of Kansas by far, the largest graduating class in Jay- hawker history, will receive diplomas Monday evening, June 8. But what will they do Tuesday, June 9, and all the fol- lowing days? That is the problem before them. And the solution is the simplest since 1929. The vast majority of them will immediately go to work. The Democrats tell us that we are just emerging from the worst financial depres- sion this country has ever known. The Republicans will now admit that maybe business conditions did slump a little dur- ing the past six years. It was the college graduates, however, during this period, that felt this reversal in American indus- try most keenly. All the little niches in the economic wall had been filled up. There were not even cracks to squeeze into. A lost tribe of college graduates roamed the earth. But soon business began to find itself, and immediately started in search for men out of universities to feed upon. It needed their brains for nourishment, so graduates were drawn into large corpora- tions, companies, and private enterprises. At the present time, almost all of the graduates from schools of, higher learn- ing have been absorbed in the working world, and it is now waiting for a fresh source, the 1936 university and college graduating classes of the United States to draw upon. The Kansas State Planning Board made a study of 5,094 graduates of from 1924 to 1934 in nine Kansas colleges and uni- versities including the University of Kan- sas, the State colleges at Manhattan and Fort Hays, the Teachers colleges at Pitts- burg and Emporia, the Municipal uni- versity at Wichita, and three privately endowed colleges Baker, Friends, and Washburn. The Board found that but one hundred sixteen, less than two per- cent, of all the graduates contacted, were unemployed and over half of this small number came from the last three classes to leave school. Of the total number, 882 reported as being engaged in independ- ent enterprises of their own, 1,352 were working for private firms, and 2,724 were working for some governmental agency. The reason for this large latter HERE I AM, GRADUATING WITH HONORS, AND I ' LL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE COOKING FOR SOME DUMB MAN figure is due to the high number of teachers employed among graduates. Two out of every three graduates questioned, answered that they were employed in the field for which they made specific preparation. When asked if they were satisfied with their present positions and prospects, 3,988 answered in the affirmative while 927 said no, roughly about four to one. Asked, Has your college training fit- ted you to advance yourself economi- cally? and Has your college training fit- ted you to enjoy life more fully? there were seven to every one answering in the affirmative to the first question and 5,332 to 117 replying yes on the second. The University of Kansas fits right into the rosy picture that the Kansas colleges as a whole suggest. It, too, has a high percentage of past graduates be- ing employed. And the prospects for this year ' s class is far above average. What Dean George C. Shaad says of his engineers and architects, The prospects for employment in engineering and archi- tecture is the brightest since 1929, is true for the lawyers, doctors, teachers, journalists, and business school graduates. Many in this year ' s senior class are al- ready placed, while some are debating as to which job to accept. Professor L. N. Flint, of the journalism department, reports that seventy-five per- cent of men graduates and twenty-five percent of women, are engaged in the newspaper field, while others are work- ing but not in journalism. The low per- centage of women employed in newspa- pers is due to marriages and their switching to other fields. H. E. Chandler, secretary of the Teacher ' s Placement Bureau, has al- ready found employment for sixty-eight of this year ' s class in education and hopes to fit two hundred fifty into positions. He reports the heaviest demand for music teachers, and the poorest demands in the modern languages and history fields. The reason for music teachers is explained by the fact that during the depression, music was the first course to be dropped, and now with definite signs of recovery, vocal and instrumental courses are being added to the curriculum. The figures quoted above indicate that there is a place in business and profes- sional life for the college graduate. True, during the past few years, the outlook after four years of expensive training has not always been too sunny, but university graduates have probably suffered less from the depression than most groups. The class of 1936 seem to have the most pleasant prospects of any graduating class of recent years as they prepare to leave K.U. and face the sterner competi- tion of the business world. In the coming years the seniors will undoubtedly have countless opportuni- ties to look back thankfully on the advantages that their education has given them. They will find that employers give real weight to training and preparation in selecting persons to whom they will entrust their business affairs. The days which to some have been a prolonged holiday, and to others a period of effort and struggle, will eventually realize material reward. The seniors have no need to fear the future. College graduates, along with, and in advance of any other class, are coming into their own. The sunshine of hope and optimism is breaking through the clouds of despair, and pointing the way towards returning prosperity and stability in our economic life. HEADQUARTERS DURING THE MONTH OF MAY 344 THE JAYHAWKER THE THE SPOKESMAN HERE it is, the last chance we ' ll get to call people what we want to and get away with it under the excuse that nobody ever reads this opus. Following this issue we ' ll be merely a name in the alumni files ; probably listed under the lost ad- dresses. In the meantime, permit our rather questionable talents to be exercised on the spring efforts of the Hill ' s lights and shadows. This spring season hasn ' t been very conducive to sentiment because of its wetness and seeming cool temperature. To start our social parade, Phi Delta Theta blossomed forth in their little white coats and shoes April 3 to disport themselves and their wenches in the best style the Union Building affords. Needless to say several people complained of the cold weather but they all said like the dutiful slaves they are, It ' s a very nice party. The next night another varsity was held within the walls of the Union ballroom, but this one was sponsored by Cochrane and Lloyd, Inc. This firm, which only recently merged, has been doing very well, but it is thought they will soon break up in favor of newer and better fields. After a very uneventful week the spring season was declared definitely in and Saturday, April 18, Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Kappa Psi, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon admitted it by inviting some of the girls, or shall we say most of them, to their respective domiciles for a little get-together. As we ' ve often said before fraternity prejudice keeps us from going to these affairs so all we can do is to report that they happened. They say that an embryo Pan-Hellenic Council got together that night in the back room of Wiedemann ' s, but we weren ' t there to verify the report. If they did, here ' s hoping they stood good for the repair bill. Something has always puzzled us about these A.K. Psi brawls. In their pictures we see the names and faces of many business school professors. Now we ' re wondering if they go to these parties in the same style the students do. Considering the wild tales emanating from such gatherings a lot of explaining is in order. Would some prof please step up and oblige or perhaps their faces are red, too? April 25 brought about another one of these situations wherein the girls of some fraternity house think they can outdo the manly vigor of three or four sororities. In this case the West 10th boys who profess to Sigma Nu membership showed their ability. About all we can say is that they had a party. At least we read about it in the Kansan. The three corner houses Delta Zeta, A.O. Pi and A.D. Pi, went into cahoots against the Thetas who beat them to the draw and booked the Union building so they could handle the largest stag list. They must have, because it looked exactly like another Saturday night varsity except that the decorations were just a little fancier. Concerning those decorations, however, we saw one inebriated fellow weeping copious tears because they looked so tired and so droopy. Probably sad at being removed from their happy home. The Thetas were so pleased with our girl, Dorothy Fritz, that they called her back and even wangled her a date with the Sigma Nu dramatist, Larry Wightman. Anyway, when the time came, Dorothy was called on to sing. She is getting to be a regular professional. Next thing we know, they ' ll be paying her expenses. The A.D. Pis attempted to draw the stags with the name, Slatz Randall. They succeeded in filling the house so everyone was happy. Of course, we know nothing about the second and third floors, but anyway the downstairs looked crowded. SIGMA CHIS AND THEIR DATES GOING TO HELL REFRESHMENTS AT THE MILITARY BALL MAY, 1936 345 Oh yes, we almost forgot one of the most important shindigs of the year. On Thursday evening, April 23, the Journalism department collected en masse in Wiedemann ' s back room for two hours and a half of fun and frolicking. The last of these two descriptions proved itself to be the better fitted for its job because there really was a bit of frolicking going on. Spectators at the Dickinson Theater asserted the party was a little too loud as it interferred with the picture ' s sound effects. Otherwise, there was no complaint. It must have been that everybody in town was at the party. Our attentio n was directed to Professors Alfred McClung Lee and J. J. Kistler, who were having a simply ripping time tearing around on the drums of Joe ' s Jamming Jazzers ' outfit. It was announced that on April 24, the Hill would be enter- tained by the smooth melodies of Maurie Sherman and his famous orchestra. That evening, as the socialites assembled, time hung heavy on their hands as there was no band. An hour later when Mr. Sherman arrived there was still no band even though the bandstand belied that statement. The thing he had with him was one of these shake hand affairs and from the sound of their music they didn ' t even all hail from the good old U.S.A. Anyway, Lloyd ' s conscience was so blackened that he had to offer a free varsity to clear himself. And now for that event which the entire Hill waits for the annual spring Pi Phi brawl held May 1 in the Memorial Union ballroom. This year, however, the girls got tired of treat- ing themsel ves to another varsity so they decided to limit the stag list to a mere three hundred and check them in and out the door. Many a poor stag was left standing at the door with his tongue in his mouth, and this list included Fred Pralle, too. The party featured the bi-weekly battle of Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon. In this comer we have Royer Barclay, West Hill ' s Pug, at 190 pounds, and his seconds the D.U. stag list. And in this corner we have an unmentionable name in the opus. one of the Hill ' s lesser Delts, and his seconds the Delta Tau stags. The referee and probably the most interested spectator was one Sally Jo Demsey; we hope you regard seriously the fighting nature of that name. For the news angle and the re- sult of the contest consult the referee. We hate to ramble on, but the party will probably look like a prayer meeting, considering the number of hands that went up when Duke D ' Ambra shot the crowd. RED BLACKBURN From the looks of the party list for May 8, the fraternity boys were evidently waiting for the Pi Phis to finish their social event before attempting anything on their own hook. For on this night Delta Tau Delta, Pi Kappa Alpha, Acacia, and Delta Upsilon chose to entertain in a new and grander style. If not new and grander, it was at least a bit wetter than the ordinary run of affairs. Because of the rain the Delta Taus had only half of the party they intended. The effect was that of an air terminal and the best lick was a sign reading, Weather Ceiling Zero. The other parties that night were there, and that ' s all we know about them so we ' ll proceed to the next evening. Some of you will probably become a little suspicious as to the (CmtatmU m pap 401) GAMMA PHIS AND THEIR DATES COOL OFF OH THE PORCH 346 THE JAYHAWKER The pot boils over The annual political fray ends with neither party making a clean sweep by HUGH HADLEY THE tumult and the shouting has died away, a new council has been elected, and the campaign issues have been en- cased in their shrouds and put away until their annual disinterment next year. However, out of the welter of cam- paign promises and charges of mud slinging, a good many real improve- ments have emerged. Apparently, K. U. students are approaching that oft-quoted European ideal where every school boy takes an intense personal interest in government. Such a situation is more plausible there, of course, for the government there takes an intensely impersonal interest in every school boy, and he is likely to find himself waking up some morning goose- stepping before he hits the floor. We know this to be true because we have listened to long dissertations on the sub- ject of the goshawful awfulness of fur- riners by a good many campus radicals. We are puzzled about one thing, how- ever. There must be some land beyond the setting sun where none of these mundane ' s cares exist, for so far none of these radicals have indicated a press- ing desire to move to other parts nor to pitch their tents here in America. But campus radicalism still presents an inviting prospectus, and campus politics this year was often observed to be verging on a discussion of the doom of capitalism. This is not to say that the same old political hogwash was not poured out in copious quantities. The pre-election campaign always disguises the most bizarre fantasies in roseate prac- ticality. Then after the apple is won and the council members are comfortably ensconced in office, the burning issues are seen to lose their attractiveness. Thus the politician is never forced to look far for platform planks, for they are always ready to his hand. The election this year provided one of the most thrilling anti-climaxes of re- cent elections. At first blush the hand- writing on the wall of the Union Build- ing, seen through the haze of the early morning hours after election, was a dis- tinctive Pachacamac chirography. The four council offices were swept by the Rising Sun party, with corresponding success in the class offices. But an omi- nous equality existed in the proletarian membership of the council, and it was soon bruited about that a single change would swing control of the council. Such a contretemps naturally put both sides on tenterhooks, and it was with mixed feelings that they surveyed the results of the recount that showed Dave Conderman, PSGL treasurer candi- date, had inched above the erstwhile suc- cessful candidate, Bill Townsley. A na- turally exultant tide of emotion swept the PSGL ranks, while the Pachcamacs were engulfed in a wave of depression, which did not ebb with the satisfaction of hav- ing the top offices. The Pachacamac of- ficers are now faced with the unhappy prospect of merely signing the hated bills passed by the 13-11 majority of the Progressive Student Government League. Council membership this year has un- dergone a kaleidoscopic change, for the eligibility requirements have lain hard upon some members who were better at buttonholing than boning. A few recent appointees, notably Jim Polkinghorn, had merely time to warm their hands at the council fire before the election sounded their legislative death knell. The purification of politics is still an iridescent dream, senator. Come elec- tion time, the bars are let down on slan- der, insult, and inference. And a pretty good case for libel could still be con- structed out of the campus opinion col- umn of the Daily Kansan or the throw- away sheets that sprinkled the campus every morning. Curiously enough, the politician en masse is inclined to con- gratulate his fellows on the extraordi- nary way in which they have managed to keep mud-slinging out of the cam- paign this year. Having wotted the which, he will bend every effort to seek- ing out the fellow who was reputedly the recipient of some dirty campaign money last year, or to badgering some reluc- tant informant into telling just where the Programacs found out about how that last bill was pushed through the council. The political picture was enlivened this year by the appearance of an army of prepaid patriots, calling themselves the Veterans of Future Wars. These satirists busied themselves with a vast good humor at pulling the legs of every organization even remotely connected with war. Their efforts were not unrewarded, but the satire was a little too deep for a good many students. No more wretched (Continutd on page 397) REPETITION IS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF ADVERTISING OH YEAH ! MAY, 1936 347 This beauty business The editor makes a few comments on the present system of naming queens by JOHN E. CHANDLER . ' As the Jayhawker presented its beau- ty queens, this year, we have heard some criticism of our selection of judges. It has been generally conceded that the men who have judged the freshman, sophomore, and junior beauties were very charming gentlemen. It must be admitted that they are not without distinction in their several lines of animating mice, putting out swing music, and writing newspaper columns. But, objects the body politic, what knowledge do such men have of true beauty? Why is their judgment any bet- ter than ours would be? What we want is a judge who by training and experience can select the real beauty queens of our class. In answer to this plea, we tried for our final issue to secure the services of a competent judge, and our efforts were rewarded when Mr. Thomas Hart Benton, head of the department of drawing and painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, consented to serve. Mr. Benton is con- sidered by art critics to be one of the outstanding painters in America today. A Missourian by birth, much of his youth was spent in Washington, where his father was a Congressman. Starting as a cartoonist on the Joplin American, he left to study at the Chicago Art Institute and in Paris. During the war, he served in the navy. His unusual cultural background com- bined with the realism resulting from his war experience have given his work a very real and human touch. His pictures show the discipline of studying the old masters, but there is nothing old in his art. His work has gained recognition wherever it has been displayed. In 1933, he was awarded the Gold Medal of New York Architects League. He is especially noted for his murals which portray historical themes. He has mural projects for the history of the United States, the history of New York and the history of Indiana. This latter project was on display at the Century of Progress Exposition and will be perma- nently installed at Indianapolis. His work is represented in the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art, the William Rockhill Nelson Galleries, and in the Atkins Fine Arts. Such a man is particularly qualified to make a beauty selection, and we feel that his choices reflect his abilities along this line. In the following pages, we present his selections with the confidence that they will meet with the approval of our readers. a CAREFUL investigation by anyone who may be interested will proba- bly reveal the startling fact that there is more beauty by actual count on this Kan- sas campus of ours than in any other locality this side of Hollywood. Registrar Foster might well borrow from the Join the Navy and See the World advertising philosophy and flood mid-western papas with literature under the caption, Send your daughter to Kansas and see her made a beauty queen. To outsiders the for- mula by which the Sunflower state produces such an amazing amount of pulchritude may be somewhat mysterious. m faff 405} THOMAS HART BENTON.

Your X full and hearty cooperation will . . . enhance the memories of the occasion in years to come. Senior Reminder. DANA DURAND As we go to press, the last minute preparations for graduation are over- shadowed by final exams. However, it won ' t be long till the pride of the Big Day will be upon the newly-dignified seniors. With cap askew and gown caught together by one snap, the last lovable harumscaram will leave the campus a lonelier place, led off the platform by the Phi Beta Kappas twirling their keys self- consciously. It might seem contrary to the popular belief of most of us but there is more to the senior class offices than just an election. The senior officers are really the only class officers that have any real tasks to perform. Along with the honor is involved no little work and quite some dictatorial ability. The job of directing a crew of seniors who have it figured out that they already know it all, is one which requires a lot of activity. Every function which the graduating class must perform is done under super- vision of the senior officers. All the work connected with the graduation and com- mencement exercises is done by President Durand or by the various responsible senior class members whom he has ap pointed to head the several committees. The real work of these committees is yet to be done. The duties of the class officers are many, and the only compensation which they receive is the menial honor attached to the fact that they can say that they were elected officers of the K.U. gradu- ating class of 1936. Their most important job is to organize the class toward the end of the school year so that invitations may be selected, caps and gowns arranged for, a senior breakfast planned, a final gift selected for the dear old alma mater, and the ironing out of any little difficul- ties which would perhaps cause a hitch in the program. These officers must prepare a large graduating class for their last and most impressive collegiate appearance. This senior class can well be proud of the officers they have chosen to lead them to their last official connection with the in- stitution where they have spent what probably have been or will be four of the happiest years in their lives. The officers have indeed done their all-important parts. Dana Durand has, in the chair as president, slaved away for his class, calling forth the admiration of his colleagues. Elizabeth Hanson as vice- president, June Thompson as secretary, and Marlow Sholander as treasurer have done their big bits in fine fashion. Having a lot of bigshots in the class, nothing would do but more and still more committees. Chairmen were Frank Allen, alumni; Neal Hardy, memorial; Shirley Jones, publicity; Marlow Sholan- der, cap and gown; Jack Miller, invita- tions, and Phil Bramwell, senior breakfast, which will be in the Union the morning of June 8. Among those present and noteworthy are Dorothy Lewis, George Guernsey, Lloyd Morgan, Margaret Boast, Sol Lin- denbaum, Fred Harris, William Gough, Norbert Anschuetz, Dorothy Bangs. Eliza- beth Hanson, Mary Louise Beltz, Edward Boggess, Dorothy Fry, and Elizabeth Ann Bush. (Never let it be said that we don ' t give credit where credit is due. ) Alfred Ames is writing a class prophesy which we ' ll view with delight (I hear he ' s having difficulty finding a place for Lyman Field). Marlow Sholander, having too little to do, is undertaking the class history. Seems a shame to lose his energy. Commencement week begins June 5, with four days of pow-wows and re- unions from the class of ' 86 up and down. This is the sixty-fourth big June for K. U. and it seems a few of them actually remember. Monday, June 8, at 7 p. m., our fine friends, led by their distinguished officers, march carefully up to the Chancellor, receive a dummy diploma, shift their cap tassel to the front left and behold we see men of the world. They collect flowers, gifts, and congratulations. The senior class is gone again. Viva ' 36.

So with the much lauded and highly advertised Senior Cake- walk with Maurie Sherman and his highly touted big name orchestra. The mere mention of Cakewalk, Maurie Sherman, or only a dollar and a half, is enough to recall to mind memories which would be best if forgotten. Your correspondent, taking a sojourn in Wiedemann ' s about 9:30 on the evening of April 19, saw, much to his astonishment, Manager Gene Lloyd coming in to help fill up the pale blue room in the rear. Knowing that a manager ' s place is at the scene of the spoils or the cash register, an inves- tigation was set in motion. Said investigation revealed that the band was delayed, but the dance was in progress and the mu- sic would soon be there in person. Ten-thirty at last brought a termination to the rollicking rhythm of Benny Goodman ' s music and please stand by for station announcements. As went Benny Goodman, so did go the spirits of the dancers. But more radio music it was until suddenly the happy, carefree, and cheerful throng who had been waiting only an hour and a half were treated to the preliminary tuning up of a nonde- script crew of lifeless musicians. Maurie Sherman sauntered to the front of the bandstand and your correspondent shivered as an arctic breeze swept across the ballroom floor. The strains of an aged torch song as an opening number helped things immensely ; the party was off to a colorless start. George Guernsey alone danced furiously trying to make up for that dollar and a half he would have had to pay had he not got in free. Legs moved like sticks over the polished surface while several thoughtful freshmen chose up sides and bumped into people trying vainly to help recover that usual varsity dance atmosphere. Faces like masks retained a sphinx-like appearance as choice vintage pieces of ripe old age were ground out one after the other from an orchestra which made one thankful indeed that Red Blackburn could never get enough grade points to graduate. Of course, there were several modern numbers, but most of them were Christopher Columbus (the piece which all the fra- ternities and sororities have worn out on their phonographs) played over and over again. The evening dragged slowly on ; Gene Lloyd ventured from his hideout long enough to make sure the orchestra had really come, then to save his own neck, went in search of the authorities for permission to turn back the clock for just this once. Unfortunately, permission was granted for an additional half hour. This news was relayed via microphone by his nibs, Lloyd, along with another exciting bit of news to the effect of a free varsity in the near future. The only visible outburst of applause precipitated by this announcement was a few scat- tered handclaps and some yawns, both of the stifled and un- guarded variety. Perhaps these might be accounted for by the unusual number and variety of varsities this past semester at least two, and then of course, three or four Pan-Hell par- ties which the common herd was unable to attend. But a free varsity, especially on a nice warm and sticky spring evening, with a capacity crowd, nice white coats and shoes, and oh, yes, probably quite a great deal of perspiration is quite a pleasant thought indeed. So on with the dance where even Georgie by this time has ceased to pound the floor in search for a higher return for his investment. Intermission ... a decided decline of returning dancers, and finally one o ' clock with the last dance. Two redeeming features saved the party from being too dismal a failure. The little song bird if you care to call her gangling six feet little was good. That is to say, her voice was good; but the face and figure reminded one, as some one put it once, of a forty-five calibre voice on a twenty- two calibre frame. From behind a post or lost in a crowd, it really seemed as though you might have something, but as one gazed on the living body, the lovely apparition which the sound of her voice brought to mind vanished, and in its stead stood the cold realities of life. The other commendable factor was the crowd which was one of the nicest of the year. The best of Kappas, Gamma GmtinMtd at faff 402) PUTiTJ.r. FIND THE MUSIC RECEIVING LINE FOR THE ORCHESTRA 372 THE JAYHAWKEK A large crowd enjoys the relays The weather man smiles as several meet records fall by LESTER COOMBS DESPITE some stiff competition from a. group of small boys playing mar- bles on the wrong side of the stadium, a field of 750 leading athletes of the mid-west held the enthusiastic interest of one of the largest crowds in years during the 14th annual Kansas Relays held here April 18. The 10,000 spectators came to Law- rence to watch favorite sons perform and to see what happens when national and world champions of the field and track come together and they weren ' t disappointed. Big names were on the program: Glenn Cunningham, world ' s cham- pion miler and record holder in the mile and 1500-meter run in -the Kansas Relays; Archie San Romani, National Intercolle- giate mile champ ; Elwyn Dees, Kansas Relay record holder in the shotput and winner of this event in the last Na- tional Intercollegiate meet ; and Clyde Coffman, a member of the last Olympic decathlon team and winner of the de- cathlon here last year. Besides these Kansans were Sam Al- len of Oklahoma Baptist, National In- tercollegiate 120-yard high hurdles cham- pion; Jay Berwanger, Chicago U. ' s great all-around athlete; Lloyd Cardwell and Sam Francis of Nebraska U. football fame and Don Elser, mammoth decathlon en- try from Notre Dame. Enough to bring a gleam to the eyes of any track fan ! Relays day followed a prolonged pe- riod of cold weather and many entrants, especially those from the northern states, were not in top condition. Banners over the stadium fluttered in a breeze that was a bit too chilly for a day of record breaking. The greatest performance of the day? It was probably that of the Emporia Teachers ' distance medley relay team. They cracked the world ' s record for that event by 1.3 seconds in the startling time of 10 minutes, 12.7 seconds. Credit for that can go to San Romani who didn ' t defend his 1500-meter title but saved himself to anchor in the relay. For three legs of the race Emporia trailed but San Romani took the baton for the final mile, overcame Don Lash of Indiana and fin- ished in the excellent time of 4.12. Northwestern failed to nab a world ' s record only because there is no recog- nized world ' s title in the sprint medley relay. They did it in 3:27.4, the fastest time ever recorded in this event. At least they set a new Intercollegiate rec- ord, shattering the mark set by Ohio State in 1931. Glenn Cunningham had little difficulty in the 1500-meter, taking the lead on the stretch to defeat Glen Funk, former Nebraska runner, and Mel Trutt, promis- ing Indiana freshman. Thus he redeemed himself for his defeat here last year. The 100-yard dash ended in almost a dead heat, Grieve of Illinois literally winning by a nose in 9.9. Sam Allen easily turned in his third straight victory here in the high hurdles but failed by .3 sec- onds to break his own record of 14.5 recorded here last year. The shining goal of Olympic recog- nition, too, had much to do in mak- ing the 1936 Relays successful. To the spectators it brought three new Olym- pic events, the 3000-meter steeplechase, the 400-meter hurdles and the hop, step and jump. To the contestants it brought an opportunity to gain recognition in the mid-west and a place in the Olympic fi- nals in June. A resulting heavy entry was made in the decathlon. Interest and competition in it ran high. Two former decathlon winners, Coffman and Delbert White, re- turned to compete. Jay Berwanger and Don Elser were other favored candidates. But a dark horse came through. Glenn Morris, an automobile salesman and a member of the Denver Athletic Club, amassed an early lead in the first event and rolled up a grand total of 7576 points. Morris ' performance was truly remark- able. If Jim Bausch ' s American Olympic record of 1932 had been scaled accord- ing to the new system under which Mor- ris competed, it would have totaled 7465 points, less than Morris ' mark. But if Morris had performed as well and under the old scoring system in the 1932 Olym- pics, he would have been second to Bausch. This apparent inconsistency is ex- plained in the fact that the new system gives more points for effort nearer per- fection. It is fair enough to credit Mor- ris with excelling Bausch. GOVERNOR LANDON GREETS THE QUEENS THE RELAYS COMMITTEE MAY, 1936 373 The novelty of the 3000-meter steeple- chase, a new event for the Kansas games, captured the fancy of the crowd. On each lap the runners splashed through a water barrier and negotiated various other barriers. Deckard of Indiana Uni- versity got a big hand as he broke the tape, leadin g Glenn Dawson of the Tulsa Skelly club. The Kansas sprint relay team ran a fast race in the 880-yard relay, taking second behind a crack Texas team. The runners were Forrest Hardacre, Lloyd Foy, Harry Wiles and Jack Richardson. Ray Noble lost the pole vault title he annexed last year but tied for fourth in the event. Marvin Cox tied for fourth in the high jump. The Kansas mile relay team, com- posed of Harry Wiles, John McNown, Claude Trotter and Wade Green, cap- tured a fourth in that event. No Relays program is complete with- out the touch of feminine beauty and grace, so capably furnished this year by Miss Isabelle Perry, the 1936 Kansas Re- lays Queen, and her two attendants, Miss Mary Depew and Miss Katherine Hurd. They were greeted by Governor Alf M. Landon, the honorary referee. Winners of the events received their trophies from the hands of the Queen, who is no mean athlete herself. As concerns this year ' s Relays in gen- eral, take the word of John C. Grover, Kansas City lawyer, who has been starter for the Relays ever since they began 14 years ago. The 1936 Relays were the finest, best organized Relays ever held, he wrote to Dr. F. C. Phog Allen who is director of the Relays. E. R. Ed El- bel spent weeks in preparation for the Relays and then was so busy as clerk of the course on the big day that he was scarcely able to watch the events. T. Nel- son Metcalf, director of athletics at the University of Chicago, served ably as referee. On the day before the Relays, over 1000 high school athletes competed in the stadium in the annual Interscholas- tic track and field meet for Kansas high schools. If bringing a host of younger athletes of near-college age to the campus every spring was the only service rendered by the Kansas Relays, they would still be worth the time and effort expended. By careful planning and organization, they have grown throughout 14 years of ex- perience to become one of the great spring outdoor meets of the nation. GLENN STAGES A COMEBACK EMPORIA ' S RELAY TEAM GETS A CUP FOR A NEW RECORD THE STEEPLECHASE ADDS INTEREST TAKING OFF IN THE 120 YARD HIGH HURDLES 374 THE JAYHAWKER THERE is a certain misty halo of awe, undoubtedly accepted with secret sat- isfaction by the wearer, which is gen- erally placed upon the shoulders of those rare individuals who have been to Europe by those unfortunates who have never been-abroad. These halo- wearers must be, according to popular misconception, either very, very rich or else super-industrious work-their-way- across-on-cattle-boaters. Popular legend further has it that they must be of three types: the wild riotous college student type who drink up all the rare old wines, liquers, beer, champagnes and went to 32 Rue Blocedel, Paris; or the lorgnetted devotee of art type, who must have spent hours amid the treasures of the Louvre, the Pinotels, the Pitti palace, the British Museum amid gasps of ecstatic delight ; or else they must be of the gay Richard Hal- liburton type romancers of romance swimming the Hellespont, or even the English Channel, or crawling thru the sewers of Paris, etc., for the sheer hell- of-it. As one of those halo- wearers, and I must here confess that I accept mine, too, let me quiet your fears that any such strange motives exist in large quantities. They do exist, I imagine, but they are, in general, born of the imaginations of those who, upon returning from abroad, are anxious to impress upon their envious and believing friends that they went to Europe. These three types spring not from reality but from attempts on the part of the halo-wearers to live up to their new found reputations as world- travelers (it quickly becomes that). And under such an influence a sip of cham- pagne Vin Pordon Rouge 1926 (halo- wearers retain their fetish for the foreign names of food for several years after returning) or an hour spent staring at the Mona Lisa, the Venus DeMilo, or a ESQUIRE WEAR IN THE ALPS CROOKED STREETS IN GERMANY A VALLEY IN THE ALPS WARWICK CASTLE Our traveling student his wanderings Cimabue; or a wild and reckless ride in a French taxi at two in the morning, if sufficiently colored up, can easily qualify the foreign traveller for one of the three categories that the unfortunates insist on setting up. Well, there ' s none of this in a trip to Europe. The average traveller is not far from a dry when compared to Euro- peans ; art means much to some and little or nothing to others. Halliburtons, ac- tually, are few and far between. Yet there are certain peculiar joys, very beneficial experiences, and never-to-be-forgotten scenes and incidents arising out of a summer spent in the Old World. The boat crossing (few work their way across inasmuch as very reasonable steamer rates are to be had) to one who had never been on the ocean before was a revelation. There ' s no greater thrill than feeling for the first time the vibra- tion of the ship ' s mighty propellers, as she eases out of New York harbor, and as the realization steals over you that you are bound for the high seas. And if you are fortunate enough to travel in England you ' ll, of course, go to London. Big Ben striking the hour, as for centuries before, will appeal to your middle class idealism. The Old Curiosity Shop, unfabulously over-exploited by postcard sellers, should call up some memory of Dickens, whether it be the Tale of Two Cities or Pickwick Pa- pers, it makes no difference. The Thames Embankment, Piccadilly Circus, West- minster Abbey and other famous places in history. Pubs, private and public bars, with scotch and soda at eight cents will appeal. If you ' re stompin at the Savoy a soda will cost you the usual fifty cents. But don ' t miss seeing the slums of Lon- don, almost the worst in the world. It should move you to some philosophical wondering, as traveling from grandeur to utter poverty does about the social scheme of things today, and you ' ll see them all over Europe. The rural England, the most peaceful and quiet countryside imaginable, then are softer delights.

The spirit of England lives in this famous Old World university town. You ' ll want to spend a night at an old English Inn, smoke a pipeful in the late ten o ' clock twilight, and drink the Port wine. Cross the Channel, pass through Bel- gium and Holland, sail down the Rhine through the most beautiful country in northern Europe. German beer, Ger- man songs, wine gardens, climbing up to the old Rhine castles under moon- light, spend a day in ancient Rothen- berg unchanged in its quiet isolation since the 16th century. The Swastika will be everywhere, brown uniforms, grey ones, marching even in the large cities. A nation throbbing to beating drums and the command of one man yes, you ' ll feel it. Climb in the Austrian Tyrol. Esquire wear is shorts and a woolen shirt and you can ' t disregard Esquire. And on to Vienna dead, closed up, no longer gay, waiting, tensely waiting the com- ing of Hitler. You should go down to the Adriatic, to Venice the unspoiled city of mil- lions of visitors. Evil smelling but ro- mantic canals. You ' ll see that pitifully overrated and architectural monstrosity, the Bridge of Sighs. But you ' ll love the little wine shops, the markets, the grand Cathedral of St. Mark, the famous Pal- ace of the Doges. Try to get lost in the maze of lesser canals in the heart of Venice. It ' s a feeling indescribable and unforgettable. And to Rome ancient Rome; mod- ern Rome whose clean streets and sani- tary drainage are the boast of a proud dictator. And if you ' ll look hard enough you ' ll see emaciated children, beggars, rows of tenements, and squalor all un- der the shadow of the ancient Roman eagle ; for today ancient Rome lives again, according to her ruler, both in fact and in name. The Coliseum is there, too. Capri is an enchanted fairyland in southern Italy, rising sharply out of the unbelievably blue Mediterranean. Italy will be hot; her attractions, the old by LYMAN FIELD treasures of Florence, Milan, Rome and the Vatican are not to be missed. If you go north into Switzerland, the cool, fresh green landscape will give quite a thrill. Democracy does make itself evi- dent. Here there are no soldiers under arms. The valleys are deep; snow-capped mountains reach to great heights on all sides; and it ' s peaceful and quiet. The Swiss people, traditionally and in fact, are friendly, and hospitable. And they ' re sim- ple folk, too. Before long you ' ll be going through France to Paris the Rendezvous of the World. No one is likely to be dis- appointed in Paris. Go down the famous, but delightful, left bank of the Seine, but if you ' re not interested in books don ' t go to the bookstalls. There ' s the Eiffel Tower and the Tomb of Napoleon but best for you to walk with the crowds, wander where you may and let your guides take you to the famous landmarks. Don ' t miss the Place de la Concorde because for France its ancient signifi- cance has new meaning in these troubled times. You ' ll feel it. Need I tell you not to miss the night life please don ' t be- cause you will find that it ' ll be great sport to satiate your morbid-minded friends at home with tales of what you did in Paris after dark. New York harbor will be a welcome sight but nothing to rave about or to spend hours at the bridge waiting for the first glimpse of the skyline. I ' ll bet you ' ll be a little sad, when you dock, that your trip is over, that you ' ll lose your newly found traveling companion ; but don ' t worry; in a few days you ' ll be living the trip over and seeing more than you could see in a thousand years when you get among your friends and put on your halo. And it will be several years before you can forget that you ' ve been to Europe.

It was founded in 1910 by twelve upperclassmen, and since that time has become and remained the most distinctive class society at the University. Election to membership is one of the highest honors that any Jayhawker can receive. Membership in Sachem is given to scholastically outstanding men who have achieved the highest rank in their par- ticular field of endeavor, who have been real student leaders, and who have made valuable and constructive contributions to the University. Because of these high ideals, only men who by actual achieve- ment are worthy of the honor, are elected to membership. Sachem ' s activities on the campus consist in fostering and upholding the best of K.U. traditions. The members of Sachem are chosen each spring from the junior class and again each fall from the senior class. George Guernsey is the Chief Sachem of this year ' s group.

BOB WILLIAMS PAUL WILBERT MAY, 1936 377 i MORTAR BOARD DOROTHY BANGS Mortar Board is a national honorary so- ciety for outstanding senior women. Its members are chosen in the spring of their junior year by the members, assisted by the faculty advisers. From six to twelve women may be chosen each year, the basis of selection to membership being scholar- ship, leadership, and unselfish service. The organization appeared first on the Kansas campus in 1912, as the Torch Soci- ety for senior women. In 1924 it became affiliated with the national organization of Mortar Board. Sen-ice to the University, the advancement of scholarship, coopera- tion with the faculty, and loyal support to every worthy activity constitute the fundamental purposes of the organization. This year its service program embodied three main principles: 1. What ' s What pamphlet, com- posed and edited by active members to be distributed to all freshmen and new- women students next fall the pamphlet to contain rules on campus etiquette. 2. A scholarship tea to be given in April for special recognition of women of freshman and sophomore classes out- standing in scholarship. 3. A series of bi-weekly teas given at the home of Dean Meguiar for the pur- pose of better acquainting women stu- dents of the campus with each other. In the past the work and meetings of Mortar Board have been secret. However, the entire plan has been abolished and it is hoped that succeeding groups will be greatly benefited by this open policy of carrying on the work of Mortar Board.

CHANDLER, Editor-in-Chief I ' hoto by Hixon THE appearance of this final issue of the Jayhawker marks the end of my official connection with the magazine, and I find a few moments for reminiscence over my experiences of the past year. It has been a great pleasure to have had the privilege of editing the magazine and to work with Bob and the rest of the staff. The year by John Chandler The editor and address a has been an extremely busy one, and there have been more than a few discouragements, but it is with real regret that I relinquish the reins to the new editor and his staff. It is my feeling that this past year has established the idea of the annual publication in periodical form even more firmly than before as an institution here. The plan was adopted three years ago in an attempt to revive student interest in the Jayhawker which had had a very unsatisfactory season in book form. The response to the magazine has been more than gratifying, each year seeing an increase in its popularity. The idea has spread, with several other schools taking it up in the past year or two. It is the dream of the Jayhawker Board and staff to see the periodical form gradually supersed e the yearbook as an annual college publica- tion. Each year we become more sure that we will see that dream come true in the none too distant future. To my partner in the enterprise, Bob Kenyon, I cannot pay too much tribute. Without the splendid cooperation he has given me, any innovations intro- duced in the Jayhawker this year would have been im- possible. Bob is an excellent advertising salesman, and the success he achieved along these lines this year has enabled us to give the students the biggest Jayhawker they have had in several years. He has been completely in sympathy with the periodical spirit which has been injected into the magazine this year, and his suggestions and counsel have made it a real pleasure to work with him. Every enterprise has its unsung hero, and for the Jayhawker ' s I nominate Elizabeth Shearer, secretary of (Continued on page 401) p T, JAMES COLEMAN JACK TOWNSEND ELIZABETH SHEARER CHARLES NICHOLAS HOWARD GILPIN BILL SEITZ JOE COCHRANE DEAN MOORHEAD THE STAFF business manager parting word by Bob Kenyan AS one looks back over the past year it seems that it has been compressed into four compact weeks, each represented by an eighty page magazine. Through some strange happening it managed to emerge from the fog into the upper strata of sunlight when it was least expected, or even hoped for by any of the staff. The people responsible for these seeming miracles are those that go to make up that intangible yet vital group, called the Jayhawker staff. These people collect copy, write copy, call organizations, make collections, and handle all the necessary problems which are all the time con- fronting the publication. - This year the business side took on a number of new activities, that required an unusual amount of detailed work, which was taken over by a strong group of men. First, the Rose Bowl Contest, lasting over nine weeks was carried by Frank Wilson, Charles Nicholas, and Jack Townsend. Each man had a specific duty which took a good deal of time every day, and because of their good work the contest was a definite success. The selling of books at the first of the year required a number of workers who had to contact personally all the students as they paid their fees. Bill Seitz, Frank Wilson, Jack Townsend, Charles Nicholas, Bob Corey, Fred Riederer, and Paul Smart all alternated on the two tables and did a fine job. Because of their work the subscriptions and cover sales jumped over three hundred the normal amount of subscriptions sold previously. The new publication has grounded itself locally and now is getting a small start nationally. Numerous schools have made the change from annual to magazine, (. ' ROBERT E. KENYON. Business Manager and many others are investigating the possibilities. There are two types of magazine-annuals one leaning toward a magazine style, and the other toward a sectional annual. This year the editor and myself have tried to make it as much as possible a magazine embodying all the necessary annual features in a somewhat novel style.

Throughout all the years of its existence it has been a vital factor in bringing together men of the University for the purpose of instituting progressive and capable leadership. Its history testi- fies adequately to the soundness of its aims and its achievements.

The purpose of the organization is to free Mt.

U. amateur hours climaxed by contest at the Granada by GENE LLOYD HAIL Major Bowes!! Hail amateur contests ! ! Hail yes ! ! We have them, too. In six weeks of competition among the foremost talent of K.U., the mid- week amateur contests ended in a blaze of glory on the stage of the Granada Theater the night of April 25, the Alpha Delta Pi trio taking home the prize- winning cup. It was a brainstorm of note, these ama- teur contests, for since the noticeable absence of the musical comedy this year, it gave some of the more versatile enter- tainers of the Hill a chance to show some of their accomplishments and appear be- fore an audience. The students went for it, and week after week, they swarmed the Memorial Union Ballroom to find out just what was coming next. Things started out with appearances of the Chi Omegas and the Delts. The Chi Omegas had a kitchen band worked out and after five minutes delay trying to figure out just what they should do and how they should do it, they all got to- gether on one tune and hummed through combs and beat on tin dishpans till every one was about ready to give up. Joe Griswold and the dance manager did. The Delts came through with Little Nell, a one-act play, and Al Welhausen made an excellent villain. Following these acts came Ed Hoskins of Sigma Phi Epsilon, on his accordion. He made a very nice showing along with Jack Becker, an independent candidate who sang a couple of popular numbers making the evening complete. Reba Corbett, Alpha Chi Omega, con- tinued with a classy tap number, and although the floor was a little slick in places, she did very well, and the crowd appreciated her talents.

The purpose of the team is to stimu- late interest and ability in rifle shooting among the women of the Hill. Under the direction of the military department, the team annually engages in competi- tion with feminine marksmen in schools all over the United States. The squad each year consists of the thirty best marksmen, who are chosen by elimination in open competition under the direction of the University R.O.T.C. department and in accordance with the latter ' s standards. Every spring sweaters are awarded to the ten members of the team having the highest average scores for the year and who compose the varsity team. Each week the results of the matches are telegraphed to each of the other uni- versities with whom the team is compet- ing. They do not compete with the schools individually but the results for the week ' s shooting are compared by each school. In this way it is possible to have matches with teams all over the country. The squad competed in postal matches with twenty-three colleges and universities, namely: University of Michigan, Cornell University, University of South Dakota, Washington University, University of California, Connecticut State College, Louisiana State University, University of Vermont, Northwestern University, Uni- versity of Kentucky, University of Mary- land, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, Penn State College, Massa- chusetts State College, Ripon College, Kansas State College, University of Indi- ana, University of Illinois, Wichita Uni- versity, Carnegie Inst. of Tech. One shoulder to shoulder match was arranged this year with Creighton University March 28. The K.U. team de- feated Creighton University 863 to 818. Members of the Creighton team arrived Friday in time to be guests at the spring Military Ball of the R.O.T.C. that eve- ning and were guests of the Kansas team at a luncheon following the match the next morning. The varsity team was fortunate this year in that they participated in the reg- ional small bore-matches at Kemper Mili- tary Academy. The girls spent the week- end in Booneville and were guests at the military ball. At the close of the regular season the Men ' s Rifle Team will meet the Women ' s Rifle Team in a shoulder to shoulder match. The losing team will entertain the winners with a picnic.

Before this time the editor and business manager were chosen by the student body, as our M. S. C. and W. S. G. A. repre- sentatives are today. There being no ad- visory board to choose the nominees for their merits or to insure the greatest efficiency possible after they were elected, there existed considerable graft and it was doubtful whether the Jayhawker would continue with such needless spending. As an example, before the existence of the Advisory Board, the cost of printing thirteen hundred copies of the annual was six thousand dollars. This year the printing of twenty-two hundred copies cost about forty-five hundred dollars. Dean John R. Dyer, chairman of the committee on reorganizing the staff and creating a board, said, The purpose of the new plan is to insure the greatest efficiency in the editing of the Jayhawker, by the creation of the advisory board to supervise the work of the staff so that they can benefit by the experience of pre- vious editors. It will also place the publi- cation on a sounder basis in the opinion of its supporters, by providing a means to guard against deficits such as have oc- curred in the past years. A special elec- tion was held and the plan was adopted by a two-thirds majority of the student body. Under this new plan the editor and business manager were nominated by the advisory board, but were elected by the student body. The Jayhawker grew to be such a big business that in 1927 it was deemed necessary to place the choosing of the Jayhawker staff under the Advisory Board. This means of choosing the editor and business manager is still in use at the present time. The first twa years that the Jayhawker Advisory Board supervised the annual, it received honorable mention in a national contest. The editors of the annuals for those two years were Frank Rising (1924- 25) and Raymond Nichols (1925-26). The annuals won first place in the same contest in 1927 and 1928. In 1933 the Jayhawker was changed to the magazine form and published in five issues. This change, which was made by the Advisory Board, has been the reason for old debts being paid off and leaving a cash balance for the succeeding years. The present Jayhawker Board is com- posed of Chairman L. N. Flint, of the Journalism Department, Raymond Nichols, secretary of the board and also secretary to the Chancellor, Dean Henry Werner, Men ' s Student Advisor, Dean J. H. Nelson, associate dean at the college and representing the English Department, Professor J. J. Kistler, the technical ad- visor of the board, Karl Klooz, University Bursar, the representative from the Men ' s Student Council, and Barbara Pendleton, the representative from the Women ' s Student Governing Association. All for- mer editors ahd business managers, still enrolled in the University, are members of the board. Those included at present are Quentin Brown, editor of the 1933-34 Jayhawker, Fred Harris, editor in 1934- 35, and Paul Wilbert, business manager in 1934-35. Chairman L. N. Flint, who has been a member of the board since it was first organized, has these good words to say for the board, The Jayhawker has had its misfortunes, some of which turned out to be blessings in disguise. As an example , a few years ago, the Jayhawker, (Continued m fage 199) DEAN NELSON, DEAN WERNER, MR. FLINT, BOB KENYON, DWIGHT BRIDGES, JOHN CHANDLER MR. KISTLER, BARBARA PENDLETON, PAUL WILBERT, MR. NICHOLS, EARL DEARBORN, MISS MEGUIAR MAY, 1936 Minor sports Somewhat obscured by the major athletics, the lesser sports finish a good year by JOE COCHRANE ALTHOUGH the minor sports at the University of Kansas do not receive a great deal of publicity, they have an important part in the sports life of the school. It is in these activities that those men who are unable to participate in the major sports are able to win their K. Minor sports at Kansas include swim- ming, tennis, golf, and wrestling, all of which are very interesting but which do not command enough attention to be con- sidered more important than they now are. The swimming team which represented the University this year was hardly what could be called a successful one. They were victorious in only one meet during the past season, a dual engagement with Kansas State in the Manhattan pool. At this time they scored 44 points while the students from Manhattan garnered 40. Clyde Nichols had two first places in in- dividual events and swam on the winning 400 yard relay team to win high point honors. On February 28, the day before they defeated Kansas State, the team was overwhelmed by a sparkling group of swimmers from Lincoln, Nebraska, by a score of 70-14. On February 14, this same team from Nebraska had smashed all the University of Kansas pool records as well as several Big Six marks to overpower the Jayhawkers by a score of 67-17. In this meet, Kansas was unable to annex a single first place. The Husker medley re- lay team broke the Big Six record by 15 seconds when they swam the distance in the remarkable time of 3:10.8. The mem- bers of this team had announced that VARSITY GOLFERS they would endeavor to crack the stand- ing mark before they entered the pool. The 400 yard relay team from the north swam that distance in 3:58.7, breaking the old record of 4:02.2 by almost four seconds. Lynde, star dash man, swam the 50 yard free style event in 24.4. These records are not official, however, because the K.U. pool is only 50 feet long and to set records the pool must be from 60 to 75 feet in length. The Texas swimmers took the measure of the Jayhawkers on March 3, when they defeated the Kansans 50-34. In this meet, the Texans set three new pool marks. Kansas offered more opposition than usual this time possibly because of the fairly large crowd which attended. On March 13, Nebraska and Iowa State split the Big Six swimming title by amassing 45 points apiece in the THE TENNIS SQUAD Kansas City Athletic Club pool. Kansas finished in fifth place with her points coming from a third place in the 400 yard relay and a fourth place in the 300 yard medley relay. Five conference records were broken. Lynde, Nebraska dash star, swam the 50 yard free style in 24.4 sec- onds and the 100 yard free style in 54.9 seconds. Davis of Oklahoma scored all of his school ' s 12 points and swam the 150 yards backstroke event in 1 :47.5. The swimming team wound up the season by participating in the Missouri Valley A.A.U. meet in the K.C.A.C. pool and finishing in third place with a score of six points. Those six points came from the following places: Art Poindexter fin- ished fourth in the 150 yard backstroke, Frank Wilson placed fourth in the 50 yard free style event, Bud Tholen earned a fourth place in the 100 yard breast- stroke, and the 200 yard medley team, composed of Wilson, Bill Waggoner, Morton Jones, and Hal Howard, finished in third place. Other men who made up the swim- ming team included Jack Tiller, Eugene Brandt, William Zupanec, Ralph Pusey, Maxim Elias, Robert LaShelle, and B. H. Humphrey. Just before Easter vacation started, Coach Arthur Voss announced that the tournament to decide the varsity tennis players would be played on April 15, 16, and 17. Sixteen players entered this posi- tion playoff. On April 15, Treger defeated Linley 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 in the first game of the varsity tournament. (CmtautJ m mxt e} 386 THE JAYHAWKER STARTING A VARSITY SWIMMING MEET An April 16 more of the games in the varsity tournament were played. Lee de- faulted to Curry; Buchanan defeated Steele 9-7, 6-3 ; Kell downed Kruse 6-0, 6-1; Hoverstock beat Dey 6-1, 6-0: Ivy outlasted Merriam 6-1, 2-6, 6-3; Brighton defeated Knight 6-3, 6-1 ; and Dunham blanked Waggoner 6-0, 6-0. The final round of the tournament was played on April ' 17. In this series of games, Curry defeated Treger 6-4, 6-3 ; Brighton outsteadied Buchanan 6-3, 6-3; Hoverstock beat Ivy 6-1, 6-4; and Kell eliminated Dunham 6-3, 6-2. The first tennis match of the season was a dual engagement with Wichita Uni- versity in which both teams scored three points for a tie match. Kansas lost two of the four singles matches and the first of the two doubles, but the second doubles team won in three sets to tie it up. Curry, number one for Kansas, lost in straight sets to Corbin of Wichita 3-6, 3-6; Kell, number two, defeated Brinhon 7-5, 6-2 ; Humphrey of Wichita downed Hoverstock, number three for Kansas, 6-3, 6-3 ; and Brighton, playing number four for K.U., had an easy time with Diamond, beating him 6-1, 6-3. In the doubles matches, Curry and Kell lost to Corbin and Brinnon in a deuce set and Brighton and Hoverstock beat Diamond and Humphrey 6- 4, 6-8, 6-2 to tie up the match at 3-all. On April 24 the Jayhawker tennis team played a deadlock with Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia on the Kansas courts. Sewell of Emporia downed Curry 6-3, 6-4 ; Kell beat Tuggle of Emporia 6-3, 6-4; Brighton of Kansas lost to Peterson 5-7, 10-8, 4-6; and Rich- ardson of Emporia won from Hover- stock 3-6, 8-6, 6-1. In the doubles matches Curry and Kell defeated Richardson and Sewell 6-3, 6-1, and Brighton and Hover- stock beat Peterson and Tuggle 6-1, 8-6. Washburn was the team from which Kansas won its first victory, on April 25. THE FAMOUS FIELD-BICKET BOUT Curry vanquished Lee in three sets 6-2, 2-6, 6-3; Nordstrom won from Kell of Kansas 6-3, 8-6 ; Brighton took the meas- ure of Starkweather 7-5, 6-4; and Hover- stock defeated Madaus 4-6, 6-1, 6-0. Curry and Kell teamed up to beat Nord- strom and Lee 6-0, 5-7, 8-6; and Brighton and Hoverstock won from Starkweather and Madaus 7-5, 6-4. Kansas again de- feated Washburn on April 28 by the decisive score of six matches to none. The Jayhawkers dropped only one set, Kell ' s loss to Nordstrom. The score of the Kell- Nordstrom match was 10-8, 4-6, 6-1. All the others were won by very decisive scores. Playing on the Emporia courts, Kan- sas took three out of four matches of a shortened series. Rain caused the dou- bles match to be dropped from the program. Curry of Kansas defeated Sewell 6-2, 6-4; Kell beat Tuggle of K.S.T.C. 2-6, 7-5, 10-8; Hoverstock downed Rich- ardson 2-6, 6-2, 6-3; and Brighton, the only Kansas man to be beaten, went down before Peterson 1-6, 7-5, 5-7. The team took a short match from Nebraska on May 9, when they were victorious over the Huskers by a 2-1 score. The match was rained out on the outside courts so it was finished on the Robinson Gymnasium court. The number three and four singles matches were played, as was the number one doubles match. Brighton had little trouble with Wolf, conquering him 6-4, 6-2 ; Hoverstock also won easily from Morris of Nebraska 6-0, 6-2. In the doubles match, Harrison and Hopt of the northern school defeated Kell and Hoverstock 6-4, 7-5. The remainder of the tennis schedule is as follows: May 15, Nebraska at Lincoln. May 16, Kansas State at Manhattan. May 19, Kansas State at Lawrence. May 22-23, Big Six meet at Lincoln. In wrestling Kansas did not show up very well. This showing can be ex- plained by lack of material, however. The Big Six wrestling championship was held at Norman, Oklahoma, on March 9. Oklahoma won the event with a total of 42 points. Iowa State was second with 17 2 and Kansas State finished right behind them with 17. The Kansas team, consisting of Childs, 135; Boutz, 145; Anneberg, 155, and Ericcsen, heavy- weight, scored l l 2 points. On February 7, the wrestling team was defeated at Lincoln by a score of 32-0. Kansas did not enter men in the 118 and 126 pound classes and was handicapped for that reason. All other matches scheduled for the team were called off for various reasons. Kansas may make its mark in the wrest- ling field yet this year, however, because the K Club is raising the money to send Clyde Tiny Moore to the Olympic wrestling tryouts at Bethlehem, Pa. Moore qualified at the regional meet at Man- hattan. On March 20, the golf tournament to select members of the university golf team was held at the Lawrence Country Club. Glenn Oatman turned in a card of 151, which was the best among the 13 entrants. Dave Carter, 161 ; Grover Johnson, 162; Glen Ashley, 163, and John Stadler, 167, were runners-up. Four regulars and an alternate were selected. Kansas defeated Wichita University 16-2 on the Hillview Club course on April 22. Oatman, K.U., blanked Price 3-0; Carter of Kansas also allowed Black no score, 3-0 ; Johnson, another Jay- hawker, blanked Know, 3-0; and Ashley of Kansas defeated Watkins, 2-1. A point is given for each nine holes won and another for the total of 18 holes, giving a possible score of three. Oatman and Carter beat Price and Black, 3-0, and (Continued on page 398) 388 THE JAYHAWKER Veterans of future depressions The business school turns out the leaders of tomorrow ' s industries by LESLIE REED Business school graduates are unusually successful in being placed. By December 1, 1935, all but two of the eighty-four graduates of that year were working and one of these was a woman who did not even look for work. As this maga- zine goes to press, thirty-two percent, or twenty-one out of a class of seventy, are already signed up for positions and Dean Frank T. Stockton hopes to have the av- erage up to forty percent by the time of commencement. So with little trouble the 1936 gradu- ating classes throughout the land will DEAN STOCKTON clamber aboard the rolling business omnibus that has just been under repairs. And it will be the first, in seven long years, that they will not have to shove to find a seat. THE School of Business is the young- est of the teaching divisions of the University. Since its establishment in 1924, the School has increased steadily in importance as well as enrollment until today its teaching staff and student body are actively engaged in every major Uni- versity activity. Through courses in accounting, finance, economics, marketing and related work the School of Business provides basic training for students interested in the field of business management. Although the School has definitely the professional point of view it is not interested in mere- ly the money making aspect, but strives to develop students who have the knowl- edge of sound business principles combined with a desire to become socially useful. Two pre-business years in Liberal Arts or in Engineering are required for entrance. During the past few years members of the School ' s staff have been unusually active not only in University activities, such as serving on Administrative Com- mittees, but also in the field of publica- tions and National Committees. The staff members who have distinguished them- selves in the book publishing work are: Leonard H. Axe, Henry F. Holtzclaw, Jens P. Jensen, Domenico Gagliardo, William H. Shannon, John G. Blocker, and Laurence Jennings. The text books by these professors are well recognized and are being used in many other colleges and universities. Serving on nationally prominert committees we find that John Ise has been a member of the Executive Committee of the America n Economics Association and that Professor Jensen is a member of the Executive Committee of the National Tax Association. Dean Stockton holds the honorary degree of L.H.D. from Allegheny College and Pro- fessor Jensen has an L.L.D. degree from Dakota Wesley an. One of the most coveted honors in the School of Business is the privilege of be- ing elected into Beta Gamma Sigma, na- tional honorary business society. The Kansas chapter was established in 1926. Beta Gamma Sigma is purely an honorary society and election into it is based en- tirely on scholastic standing. The Annual School of Business Day, held this year on Friday, May 1, was as usual an eventful occasion. At the School of Business Convocation Friday morning the students challenged the faculty to a GEORGE GUERNSEY baseball game to be played that after- noon. In order to determine who should have the honor of showing their profes- sors the art of baseball the Juniors and Seniors played ball and the Seniors proved their superiority in no uncertain manner. The highlight of this year ' s game was the imported pitcher that the fac- ulty so quietly brought on the scene. Of course they justified their move by the fact that he was a brother of Professor Leslie Waters, but in spite of their noble effort the battery of Waters and Waters could not stem the tide of the determined Seniors. The banquet held that evening at the Eldridge Hotel climaxed the day ' s activi- ties. W. T.

For forty-seven years it has been the gazetteer of rules, regulations, and events for students and faculty. It presents short historical sketches of the development of the University and its equipment and also gives the names and addresses of the of- ficers of all student organizations. A cal- endar which may serve as a date book announces all the important events of the school year. Published originally by the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A., this book has be- come the product of the Christian Asso- ciation cooperating with the Men ' s Stu- dent Council, the W.S.G.A. and the Owl Society. Changed each year to conform to the changes made in the University and growing each year with the Uni- versity it is now one hundred and twenty pages in length. Because in the past it was found im- possible to provide each student with a K Book, the policy has been adopted of charging fifteen cents, the cost price, to everyone but freshmen and new students. In this way all students have an oppor- tunity to possess one and use it as a me- mento of their school year. The staff of the 1936- ' 37 K Book is composed of Frieda Blair and Mary Esther Rutter, assistant editors, and Del- mar Branson, Kenneth Graham and Don- ald Huls, advertising solicitors. FRANK HEADLEY Business Manager 390 THE JAYHAWKER Stink or swim Or who put the ' out of order ' sign on the bathtub? by BARBARA BRAMWELL THE sorority girl is a. species of dam- sella snoota that inhabits the well- worn interior of a big Greek-lettered house. She subsists mainly on cokes. She wears cock-eyed hats, flip skirts and oc- casionally carries a book for local color. Her main occupation is chiseling dates and jewelry out of the student Adonises of the hill. Yes. That ' s what she is. Ask any man. He ' ll tell you. But ask her. That ' s different ! She is one of a Big Happy Family of forty-odd (and don ' t you dare leave out that hyphen ! ) sisters who dwell to- gether in peace and happiness under a heavily-mortgaged roof. Not only is she intellectual ; she is talented, accomplished and clever as well. Her main occupation is study. Study. Well, let ' s look in on a study session. It ' s eleven o ' clock (because one sim- ply can ' t start studying until after closing hours) and four girls settle down in the smoking room for some heavy work. They are a glamorous lot. Jane wears baggy flannel pajamas and a net. Sari is smeared with cold cream and Rita and Lou have their hair done up in bobby pins. They are provided with sev- eral ominous-looking books and their roommates ' fountain pens. This is going to be a ' stiff quiz, says Jane, lighting up. Yes. Mind? Sari reaches for Jane ' s cigarettes. Help yourself, answers Jane with a forced smile. Rita and Lou push their cigarette packs carefully under the papers spread out before them and the session is under way. They study out loud: Sari: I heard the best joke of this week. The others: Clean? Sari: No. The others: O.K. Let ' s hear it. This method of study continues for about an hour. The girls then find they are going over territory they have already covered. Their efforts become more concentrated. Rita: Does anyone know any scandal? Lou: I do but I shouldn ' t tell. The others: We won ' t te Lou: (interrupting eagerly) Well, I heard . . . This type of study requires not only deep concentration but also extensive imagination, so naturally by one-thirty the girls are worn out and the session ends. Talents? There are lots of accomplish- ments attributed to sorority girls. But there ' s one for which they are justly famous. They are acknowledged masters of the art of alibi. They develop this talent early in their respective careers. Their first year pro- vides rich fields for practice. The Fresh- man trainer is the chief inspiration and on her the newcomers try their first feeble alibis. Gradually, the girls acquire skill and their technique becomes smooth. They extend their activities to professors and friends. They perfect the forgetting, the bad health, and the family-in-town alibis and add their own personal em- bellishments. Of course, sorority girls have to have some recreation. They like to spend their leisure hours in picture shows and res- taurants, preferably with some young man as they are frugal damsels. When they can ' t manage this, they spend their spare time thinking up clever pranks such as putting hair brushes, toy animals and other foreign substances in their sisters ' beds, making calls in the guise of the Bell Telephone Company to test fraternity house phones by hearing whistles, plas- tering false Out-of -order signs on the House bathtubs, and tipping water on the ardent swain s who whisper a lingering goodnight at the front door. This is the practical joke talent and most sorority girls are practically geniuses along this line. There has been much written about the sorority girl and the life she leads. Too much! We hope this is the last one but we ' ll lay a little wager that next year ' s editor will give some poor chump the same assignment. B.B. Future Vets (Continued from page 341) precise words) too yellow to become real veterans, that they are tools of Hearst and that they are doubtless fi- nanced by the American Liberty League and other Wall Street coupon clippers. Even some of our own college thinkers have publicly announced, We can ' t co- operate with the movement until we determine whether it is going Right or Left. These gentlemen miss the entire tenor of the organization. It is not an instru- ment of ridicule, nor is it an insidious reactionary movement ; rather it is a gi- gantic burlesque a burlesque organized by thinking students who believe that cer- tain serious truths can best be brought into public study upon a humorous vehicle. The V.O.F.W. seeks not at all to ridi- cule present day veterans ' organizations or to begrudge them anything which they have gained. Its search for a future un- known soldier, its demands for a bonus are but an attempt to make vivid in the public mind the grim possibilities of the future. Its sole aim has been to show us that thirty years from now many of us will be clamoring for a bonus, while many of us will find ourselves in a position where we will be unable either to demand or to enjoy the bonus or the medals to which we will be entitled. In depicting this, the organization hopes to strengthen in our minds the resolution that such things shall not come to pass. Veterans of Depressions (Continued from page 388) Business Men ' s Assurance Company of Kansas City, was the principal speaker and he presented an interesting picture of the conditions in the business world that would have to be solved by the business men of tomorrow. Dean Stockton and the faculty of the School of Business are to be congratu- lated on the excellent record of place- ment of graduates in the past period of business unrest. The placement figure reached a new high with the class of 1935 in which 95% of those receiving degrees were placed in some line of business activity. This seems to indicate that the business firms in the United States are taking greater cognizance of the high standards which the School of Business at Kansas sets for its students. Every year more firms send personnel representatives to the University to interview the gradu- ating seniors and as a result of this a larger territory is being covered by these graduates. Of the class of 1935 four members are employed in New York City, two are in Chicago, and one each in Atlanta, Georgia, and Los Angeles, California. Such a record speaks for it- self and in the future the graduates will have the opportunity to become the leaders in the nation ' s business. MAY, 1936 391 WHEN BETTER GIRLS ARE PLEDGED THIS BOX WILL PLEDGE THEM ASK THE HOUSE THAT OWNS ONE 392 THE JAYHAWKER THE time has come when the last deadline is to be met. One last chance for the editor to get in his last few gripes, and one last chance to get in a few last cracks at whoever comes to mind. So here, you scandalmongers, read it, cuss it, praise it, overlook it, or look for your name, it is the last chance you will get until next fall . . . As no kicks were forthcoming from the Gamma Phi house over last issue, we might as well start there and rake up a coal or two. In honor, or dishonor, of Virginia Nadine Ann Taylor ' s twentieth birthday on May 11, Ava- nell Bushmeyer presented to the little lady the cutest pair of scanties you ever did see. Em- broidered on one leg, in big bold letters, were the words no, no, a thousand times no, while the combination to the little affairs was taken care of by a zipper up one side to which was fastened a small padlock, with two keys, one for Virginia, the other for use in case the first one got lost. Of course you remember the Strike for peace and the fight Ed Young waged on Clyde Nich- ols, Jr., but to Winchell comes news of other results of the affair. After Young had spoken his piece on the side of little Clyde ' s face, and his nibs had gotten back to Beta Theta Pi where he belonged, some enterprising Wooglin lad thought it would be nice to get even with Young in some way or other. Accordingly, he called the Pi Phi, Theta, Kappa, and other houses on the Hill who have work done at the New York Cleaners, which concern Young is in some way associated with, asking them to dis- continue at once their business at said cleaning establishment. Doubtless the boycott would have been very effective had the fight gone the other way, but as it happened, the cleaners had to hire two extra boys to take care of the large increase in business incurred the next day. Sara Nelle Pickett, that diminutive Gamma Phi who talks so much, stuck out her hand just once too often a short while back. At a baseball game she was confronted by a boy holding in his hand a small snake. On urgent request the snake was transferred over to our Nelle. Without further ado, he sank three sharp teeth into Pickett ' s hand. The reptile was finally disengaged and Sara Nelle spent the next few minutes following instructions she once read in a book by sucking the blood from the wound. But the little snake who had never read any books was unable to cope with the problem of the blood that entered his system, and shortly, after a terrific struggle, rolled over on his back and died. Dave Hamlin, well known On the Shin columnist of the Daily Kansan, was very much taken by surprise the other morning when he awoke to find a large white rabbit scampering around his room. He vaguely remembered hear- ing himself say that he must have a white rab- bit the night before, but the how, when and where of the acquisition of said animal was more than he could explain. Getting caught with one ' s pants down is an old, old saying that is more often heard of than seen, but to one of the participants of the Kan- s as Relays it ceased to be a laughing matter when it actually happened. Coming down the lane prior to a try at the pole vault, everything seemed to be well under control, until he launched himself into the air. The strain must have been a little bit too much, for at that mo- ment his pants became loosened and settled down around the poor boy ' s knees. Without further ado, he promptly slid down the pole from mid-air, hitched up his drawers and trotted back to his starting place for another try. Fred Harris, Phi Psi, who lately became en- gaged to Jo Burrow of Topeka and Theta fame, headed the refreshment committee of the Journalism Jamboree held by the journalism students some time ago. By virtue of the $54 spent solely for refreshments, it makes one (Continued on page 406) by KEITH SWINEHART AN UNUSUAL VIEW OF THE SMOKESTACK 394 THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes WARMER weather has brought about the usual swing to the lighter weight woolens and to wash clothes or Palm Beaches. Here on the campus, that trend has been as pronounced as any- where else, these clothes sharing equally with the gabardines and other medium weight woolens. A visit to one of the recent varsities showed some mighty interesting outfits. There was Paul Andresen of Phi Gam and Phi Beta Pi wearing a natty shep- herd ' s plaid sport coat with contrasting lighter slacks, to make a mighty nice looking ensemble. Ben Marshall from down Beta way, always a nice dresser, broke forth in a new double breasted palm beach, all white. Frank Oberg, also of Beta Theta Pi, has one of the summer weight gabardines that is plenty smart. It ' s a light, greyish-blue color, with a white chalk stripe, in a double breasted model. Bob Reeder of Sigma Nu prefers a double breasted sport back model in his new white suit. John Ewers of S.A.E. also picked a double breasted white model, but his is a white worsted, with a self check. Harry Reitz, that well dressed man of Delta Chi, among his many other models, now has a single breasted white palm beach carrying a modified sport back. Before we forget have you noticed Johnny Chandler at any of the recent parties? His choice was the white sum- mer tuxedo coat with the black trousers. The coat is a double breasted one with shawl collar and full drape in model. In by EDDIE RICE the formal models Frank Oberg, too, has the summer tux. His is in a single breasted model, and our stooge says that he wears a red cummerbund, red tie and red pocket handkerchief with it. Haven ' t seen him to verify it, but that should make a classy outfit. Bill Cochrane of Delta Tau and maestro of the Union Building is com - bating the hot weather with a new num- ber in a tropical worsted double breasted and light grey in color. For formal parties, John McGuire of the D.U. lodge, has adopted the white coat with dark trousers and all the trim- mings. Preston Lampton of the Sigma Chi boys also does the same and looks mighty nice in it, too. Frankly there are so many new outfits and plenty smart outfits they are, too, on the Hill at the present time, that about all one can do is touch here and there and highlight them. That after all is more or less the purpose of our efforts, to draw some conclusions by observation as to just what the trend in men ' s clothes is, here at K. U. Polo shirts are, of course, in their hey- day at the present time, worn with odd slacks and usually the new crepe soled shoes in colors ranging from white to dark blue. It is interesting to note the dressing up that swimming suits and swimming trunks have taken the past year or so. This sea- son, they appear to be more tailored and what ' s more they are appearing in all colors and patterns from chalk stripes to the smartest of plaids. Just a word in regard to the trends for fall. A letter from our Princeton correspondent, who has already availed himself of the opportunity to dash into New York and get some first hand infor- mation at the style shows, is definitely interesting. First of all color is to play an increasingly more important part in men ' s attire. There will be considerably more coloring in suitings and likewise the accessories such as the shirts, etc., will carry their full share of color in order to blend and harmonize with the new suit- ings. The harder finish fabrics will probably be more in the lead than this past year, although there are those who prefer the cheviots, etc. Sport backs have established themselves too well in the minds of men who appre- ciate them for their comfort, to permit their taking much of a back seat. True modifications of the sport back idea such (Continued on faff 402) SUMMER Wherever you ' ll be this sum- mer . . . summer resort or sum- mer school ... we can satisfy your summer needs.

Warm weather calls for cool linens and fresh piques: a few of these have been noted on the Hill, and yet the co-eds have not blossomed forth to their fullest extent. Fraternity and sorority parties are just getting a good start, there are many more to come, and we regret the fact that this is the last issue of the Jayhawker; we feel that many noticeable little frocks are going to be excluded from this column. How- ever, let us take a glance around the campus and see what the well-dressed girl is wearing. Many of you readers attended the Kansas Relays, and perhaps noticed the white suit of exclusive beauty worn by Isabelle Perry, Pi Phi and Relays Queen. It is simply tailored, consisting of a plain dress and jacket trimmed around the neck with white fur. It certainly made for a regal appearance. At the Senior Cakewalk, which brought forth the first showing of spring for- mals, Betty Ruth Smith, Theta, was no- ticed wearing a blue and white print for- mal, having a low neck and shoulder line. Also, there was Jane Allen, Pi Phi, lovely in a white lace formal, the top of which formed a tunic effect. While we ' re on the subject of formats, may we ask you to notice the one worn by Betty Schwartz, Theta and design instructor. It is of crisp, white linen with a design of small bright bunches of flowers. The jacket is short and close-fitting, the skirt full and banded around the bottom with turquoise blue. Printed formals are still in the showing as we see in looking at Barbara Simpson, Kappa. Hers is of crepe, flower-spattered, and ties with a chartreuse tie. A jacket comes in handy for less formal occa- sions. Lest we forget, did you notice the blue linen formal of Olive Adele Kreh- biel ' s Kappa? The unique trimming of white rickrack down the seams makes for a spring weather favorite. White suits are again a favorite, some in linen, which is always suitable for a well-planned wardrobe, others in the new sharkskin material. Martha Dodge, Kappa, wears one of subtle tailoring ; with it she dons a navy blue blouse, thus achieving by KATHERINE KURD a striking contrast. For a personable gray gaberdine, notice the suit of this material worn by Margaret Pyle, Pi Phi. For her blouse she chooses a frilly lavender one, with a matching hat. Catherine Holmes also chooses a gray suit, combining with it a red blouse and gray accessories. That unfailing combination, blue and white, is the choice of Julia Jencks, Kappa. A navy skirt, white and blue flow- ered top and navy jacket make up one of the smartest styles we ' ve seen this season. Bert) ' Sterling, Alpha Chi, looks very trim in a brown and white shirt-waist dress with a bunch of yellow flowers at the neck. Brown and white shoes com- plete the outfit. Betty Lou McFarland, Pi Phi, looks attractive in a hand-knit suit of yellow, worn with a fashionable blouse of dark brown. Martha Nuzman, also a Pi Phi, is coolly comfortable in a smart brown linen dress, trimmed around the collar and cuffs with bands of lace. A wide kick pleat in the front gives the skirt a fuller swing. This is noticeably a colorful spring. You ' ll find color in the gay pastel shoes, purses, and linen dresses. We only wish the spring would bring out to a greater extent the many stylish wardrobes on the campus. It ' s a little early yet to be wear- ing bathing suits and sun-back sports frocks, but we ' re sure when they do show themselves there will be a great and varied array. You readers will have to in- vestigate for yourselves, though, because after this writing you will hear from us no more. 396 THE JAYHAWKER FROM OUR STUDIO PHONE 41 HOTEL ELDRIDGE Speaking for the Staff (Continued jrom page 379) feel that the old type of annual is dead and are very anxious to get the general reaction to these two types in order to help mould the Jayhawker definitely in one direction. It has grown to be the largest Hill publication and the largest of its kind in the United States. Sub- scriptions and advertising have increased every year making it a financial success and allowing the editor to turn this added revenue into en graving and printing, making the book more complete. The office staff this year was headed by Joe Cochrane, whose untiring efforts kept it organized and dependable. Every- time someone was needed for secretarial or inner office work Joe could be de- pended on to do it up in fine style. He took over the load of calling seniors for their pictures and kept the list rotating among the various staff members. There is a certain per cent of the staff that apply only for the name attached to it, but for a list of those dependable I had only to ask Joe who kept tract of the records of each individual. Robert Williams, Jack Harrow, Clavelle Holden, Larry Calkins, Paul Moritz, Jim Janney, Rosemary Smith, and Paul Smart took charge of the greater part of the work. The newly elected business manager, Jack Townsend, is a highly dependable and responsible man. He has done a good deal of work for me; in fart, I can safely say that he did a great deal more than any of the other men on the business staff. He is a fine salesman, who can get to know the advertiser through his per- sonable way of handling himself. This should carry him a long way toward a successful book next year. He is the type of a man who can continually take hard work and then come back for more of the same kind. His well directed efforts have been a definite asset to me during the past year, and it is with a feeling of security that I leave the reins to him. Charles Nicholas is one of the cleverest salesmen that I had on my staff. He was continually taking over the hard, dead accounts and bringing home the bacon in the terms of a written contract. His ability to take a job and go through with it should carry him a long way in life. He personally handled the distribution of the Rose Bowl tickets which required the contacting of thirty-five merchants every day for eight weeks, a man sized job car- ried out in a businesslike way. His ability is not all centered in one line of work, as he is an expert typist who was always willing to help Elizabeth Shearer. He is a likeable fellow and it has been a pleasure to work with him. Frank Wilson is the only freshman assistant who did any consistent work during the first semester. The second se- mester his work in the engineering school kept him too busy but he hopes to be back on the staff next fall. During the first three months he spent every available moment working for me. He collected, got ad copy, sold advertising, did routine work, ran the exemption table, put out Jayhawkers, and in one semester of consistent work showed me that he was a real worker. After the first month of working with him I con- sidered him as my first assistant. My only hope is that he will be able to find time next year to apply himself further, as he is one of the few individuals who goes whole hog or none. During this last semester two capable young fellows, Elaine Hibbard and Bill Seitz, have taken over the job of collecting. Blaine is new at the job but shows a great deal of promise because of the amounts that he has been turning in. Bill Seitz has moved from the office staff to a full fledged position among the business as- sistants. He has taken charge of collecting ad copy during the last two issues, and has also been trying his hand at selling. He is gradually giving more time to the work, and at the completion of his self- imposed period of learning should make a fine salesman. His trait of learning every angle before trying to do something is ad- mirable and should carry him a long way. Paul Smart, a fellow who had some bad luck, did some good work for me earlier in the year but had to drop out during this last semester. He is without a doubt the fastest talker on the job that I have ever seen. He talked lots of people out of ads before they even knew what they had signed. It was often my job to go down and explain to some of the merchants that they had bought an ad in the Jayhawker, and that it was not a cyclone that struck their place of business. It is with a great deal of sorrow that I watch the close of my job on the Jay- hawker as it has been a pleasure to work with the magazine, the staff, and the editor. I am interested in this type of work, and will find it awful hard to stay away next year. The greatest thanks of all should go to the one whom John and I jokingly dubbed the staff Elizabeth Shearer for the untiring service that she has given the Jayhawker. Any success that the magazine may enjoy is largely due to her knowledge of her job, the editor ' s job, and my job. She, in her position as (Cmtinuid on pagt 406) MAY, 1936 397 The Pot Boils Over (Contiruitd from faff 3 S ) despair can be imagined than that of a 1 recruiting officer of these blithe Yankee Doodles, when upon approaching a pros- pect, he is met with the dour inquiry, Are you trying to start another war? But the fledgling vets persisted with a most astounding and devilish inge- nuity at ridiculing the next war. Every phase of human existence was levied upon to supply future participants, including the Future War Profiteers, the Future War Correspondents and the Future Con- scientious Objectors. The War Council went by the old proverb that a cat can look at a king several better, and came very near making every man a king. The Council of Colonels comprised nearly all the membership outside of the War Coun- cils, while a vast army of captains was made up of every man who had ever ex- hibited a momentary interest in their ne- farious plans. The fertile brain of one Lyman Field, president of the Men ' s Student Council, perceiving that the students were heavy laden with their cares, labored and brought forth an inconsequential idea which was caught up and flung about the campus on every tongue for a few days, and then was decently and solemnly bur- ied. Dutch Dating, while it never be- came the vogue, at least for most couples, provided the opportunity for a good deal of speculation, and not a few men seized it to drive home upon their extravagant companions the necessity for a rigorously slashed budget. The student supreme court, a PSGL platform plank of last year, was rushed to completion just before the election, in time, the PSGL ' s thought, to provide good copy for their handbills. But a vigilant Pachacamac research group scotched the idea, and to save their faces the PSGL ' s were forced to put it up be- fore the students at the election. The court members, of which the writer happened to be one, busied them- selves meticulously with the selection of a chief justice, and were not particularly zealous in seeking cases to try. So their embarrassment may be imagined when they were faced with the dire imminence of trying August Anneberg for throwing a tear gas candle at the spring peace mo- bilization. The judges were constantly ap- proached by various students with The true solution of the case, until it seemed that you couldn ' t toss a brick in the air without having it land on the guilty party.

Creighton University was swamped by the University of Kansas golf team on April 24, by a score of 17V 2 -V2. Glen Oatman shot a 73, one under par for the course. Medal scores for Kansas were: Oatman, 73; Carter, 76; Ashley, 82; Johnson, 80. The scores of the opponents were: Fraser, 76; Conners, 80; Moehn, 82 ; and Lewis, 83. The team later lost to Wichita Univer- sity and, on May 9, was defeated by Nebraska by a lOVi-TVi score. The soggy condition of the course hampered the play of each contestant and slowed up the matches considerably. Reed, Nebraska, defeated Oatman 2-1 ; McEntire, Nebras- ka, defeated Carter 3-0; Suspan, Nebraska, defeated Ashley 2-1 ; Johnson, Kansas, defeated Hunt 3-0; Reed and McEntire defeated Oatman and Carter 2 l 2- l 2 ; Ashley and Johnson, Kansas, defeated Zuspan and Hunt 2-1. Compilation of mail ballots from the members of the athletic board showed them to be against taking part in base- ball this year. They thought that since baseball had not been included in the budget for the year, and since rainy weather had curtailed football attendance, it would be best not to participate. Too, the coaching duties would have devolved on the shoulders of Ad Lindsay, head football coach, and would have interfered with spring football practice.

Chuck Alexander, who was guest editor of the Shin col- umn, accused the manager of paying his entertainers and caused a little comment. Iden was unable to appear in the finals, or there might have been a different story. Then came Joe Cochrane, A.T.O., who gave his rendition of Lost and boo- booed in very good shape. The Alpha Delta Pi trio followed Joe, and took a tremendous applause for their cleverly worked out numbers. They deserve a lot of credit. The trio included Maxine Rip- ley, Margaret Alice Pope, and Mary Ellen Welsh. The following week came around with Dorothy Garlinghouse doing a fine tap number, Keith Davis with a semi- classical number, and Dorothy Fritz, Theta, taking over with some popular numbers. Dorothy Garlinghouse was all slicked up in her blue overalls and looked mighty classy besides doing a swell job at her dancing. Keith ' s numbers were also greatly appreciated, his delivery good, and all in all, with Fritzy at her best, this was one of the better weeks. Keith, by the way, won third prize in the finals. The final week of competition featured the Kappa Sig brass quartet, and they proved to be one of the most popular acts of them all. With three trumpets and slide trombone they played Moonglow so sweet, that it made all those attending settle back and appreciate the fact that K. U. does have talent. They won second in the finals. The show on the Granada stage turned out very well and the townsfolk got to take a good look at some of the uni- versity ' s finer performers. Stan Schwahn, manager of the theater, gave a nine months ' pass to the winner, six months ' pass to second place, and three months ' pass to third and the varsity committee awarded cups to first and second places. The entire event turned out very well and the committee was satisfied that the stu- dents received a lot of good entertain- ment. Anyway, just think of the fun we had; being the master of ceremonies, and taking the booing. Ricky-tick, this college. The Pot Boils Over (Continued from page 397) made before and after the trial, the ten feet of ground immediately surrounding the tear gas bomb, was the most thickly populated land on earth. Not less than seven hundred and fifty persons repre- sented that they were that close to it, but they all displayed a peculiar reticence when asked to explain what they saw. Anneberg was acquitted by the court, which was about the only thing they could do, in view of the e vidence pre- sented. Some progress has been made this year. Two holdovers which seem likely to become permanent are the stu- dent court and the student forums. The forums will persist because their unde- niable liberal content has aspects of value, so the liberals will want to pre- serve them. Chancellor Lindley has dem- onstrated that he favors their continu- ance by sharply condemning suggestions by Eastern critics that the University is unconscionably radical. If nothing else has been accomplished this year, the re- alization by the radical element that the Chancellor intends to go to bat for them as long as they are reasonable and fair in their demands, constitutes a great step toward amicable relations.

The Jayhawker Board ( Cent ix J from faff 314) then a year book, showed a loss of over three thousand dollars. This in connection with the general depression made it doubtful that another year book could be issued. This emergency led the board and editors to adopt the safer plan of issuing a magazine, which proved so popular that very few would dare to change back to the old year book form. Several other universities have since adopted the plan of issuing the year book in magazine section. As a piece of goodness, it may be said that this year ' s Jayhawker will pay off the last of old debts and have a sub- stantial cash balance to start a new year. Dean Werner says, The Jayhawker Advisory Board, as I see it, represents the only satisfactory medium for the con- duct of a journal of this kind. It is strictly a cooperative board. The success of the efforts of the board is measured by the splendid results obtained by the re- cent editors and business managers. One of the newly appointed members on the board. Dean Meguiar, comments on the continuity of the board, The board gives continuity to the problems involved in producing such a magazine as the Jay- hawker. The board feels its responsibility in its capacity as an advisory body. The secretary of the board and a former editor of the Jayhawker credits the pres- ent standing of the magazine to the ad- visory board, The high national standing which the Jayhawker enjoys began shortly after the establishment of the Advisor) ' Board. This fact alone would seem to justify the existence of the board. Pro- fessor Kistler says of the merits of the board, The Jayhawker Board, being a continuous body, offers opportunity for constructive criticism and advice to the oncoming editors and business managers year after year. The board does not at- tempt to dictate policies, but acts in an advisory capacity. Fred Harris, a former editor, says, The board keeps a constant and accurate check on the editor and manager. The advisory board supervises the letting of all contracts and the spend- ing of all money in connection with the Jayhawker magazine-annual. The embryo lawyer, Quentin Brown, who was a former editor of the maga- zine, says, The present success of the Jayhawker can be directly traced to its effective supervision by the Jayhawker Advisory Board. This board, because it is composed of representative members of the faculty and student body, is able to discuss intelligently and settle amicably every problem that confronts the maga- zine-annual. The present board supervises the letting of all contracts in connection with the Jayhawker Magazine-annual. The editor and business manager are appointed from the basis of scholarship, experience, and their merits. The candidates for these places are generally chosen from the Sophomore Class each year. At present the Advisory Board has a committee working on a plan, whereby the editor and business manager of the magazine will serve a year of apprentice- ship before receiving the appointment. The long time experience of the board members, and various phases of the uni- versity life they represent, coupled with their active interest in the publication, make their counsel and friendly cooper- ation invaluable to the staff members throughout the year.

AII: MAY, 1936 401 The Social Wheel (CmtamU fnm fag, 3) Spokesman ' s identity when Delta Tau Delta is mentioned again, but we boast of complete coverage. From 5:30 until 8:00 the Delts held a buffet and dance. You know, just something to keep the rushees away from the other wolves. Following that the Alpha Chis, Gamma Phis and Chi Omegas all offered a -sacrifice to society with the Alpha Chis having the edge on the stags because of their Union building location. That was one night when our presence was very much lacking, so in order to play no favorites we ' ll just say that all the parties were simply grand. As this issue goes to press the Betas, Kappas and Delta Chis are all planning parties. Delta Chi offered t o change their party from the same night as the Kappa ' s for a good price, but surprisingly enough they were turned down. Mean- while the Betas were competing with the Westminster Fireside Forum, and indeed found the struggle a hard one. They had more girls, but what they lacked was just plain solid comfort. And now it looks as if our little party is over, and so we ' ll take the ribbon out of our typewriter, wash it, and hang it out to dry. It got a bit dirty from too much snooping. If any of you have chanced to read this we hope you haven ' t taken offense at what has been said. After all, the editor hired us to fill up two pages and in the end when people go about under cover it gets to be a pretty hard job. To those of you who have supplied material for this column we extend our heartfelt thanks to you individually, and to those of you who haven ' t we can merely wonder, What the Hell? One last remark about the spring par- ties. Eleanor Cain, one of our bigger but better Kappa girls, told us a conversa- tion she had with a rushee at one of the parties and his answer, we hope, applies to them all. Well, what do you think of the party? Oh, it ' s alright, but it ' s too crowded and too damn dry. Oh well! Speaking for the Staff C,onttnMes frtm ffg f 37J the publication. Elizabeth has been with the magazine ever since it took its present form, and her services have been indis- pensable this year. Her efficient handling of the routine work of the office, and her willingness to assume any extra responsi- bility that the rush of meeting a deadline might throw her way, have made her without a doubt the Jayhawker ' s greatest single asset. The Jayhawker along with several other organizations on the campus manages to flood Mount Oread with a bevy of queens each year, but for the real Jayhawker queen Elizabeth has the unani- mous vote of the staff. It is with very real and keen regret that I turn the Jayhawker over to my newly elected successor, Jimmie Coleman. Jimmie has been active on the Jayhawker staff for the past two years and is thoroughly acquainted with the duties of his office. His background, coupled with his interest and ability in journalism, should produce a fine magazine next year, and if he is accorded the same fine re- sponse from the student body that we have received this year I am sure that it will be forthcoming. There have been many other promising workers on the Jayhawker this year and a few of them should come in for mention at this time. Dean Moorhead as an as- sistant editor has shown real ability in his work this year. This has been apparent to Jayhawker readers in the articles he has written for the publication, but more especially to me, as editor, in the as- sistance he has given me which has not been so obvious to those on the outside. Only circumstances which prevented him from competing for the position kept Dean from making a strong bid for the editorship next year. Clavelle Holden has been the outstanding freshman editorial assistant. He has completed a systematic and ordejiy cut file for the Jayhawker, and rendered other good service around the office. Worthy of special mention is the comprehensive index of the five issues which he has compiled for this issue. The backbone of the publication has been the contributions of the various student writ- ers. Space does not permit me to do them justice here, but their articles are a far finer and more fitting tribute to their work than anything I might say. We have attempted this year to change the publication even more toward the magazine style than did editors Brown and Harris. That we have accomplished this is quite obvious. We hope that the change has met with the approval of the student readers, for the Jayhawker is (Cant am tJ m faff 402) The Jayhawker Is Printed on Blendfold Enamel By THE MCCORMICK-ARMSTROKG Co.

Phone 934 402 THE JAYHAWKER Speaking for the Staff (Continued from pa e 401) published for them. It has been our feel- ing, however, that the farther along these lines we proceeded the more interesting and real the magazine would become. While trying to preserve the essential material of the Jayhawker as an annual, we have attempted to present it in vivid and quick moving periodical style. This theme has been carried out in typography, layout, selection of material, and in the style itself. If we have correctly sensed student sentiment, and accurately por- trayed student life our major purpose has been accomplished. And so I turn the Jayhawker over to editor Coleman with the feeling that I am giving up a great privilege. I have so enjoyed this year and its experience that I find it hard to believe that it has gone so rapidly. I am sure that many times in the next few months I shall wish I were at it again. With this final plea I lay down my pen ; the cooperation and assistance I have had in publishing this Jayhawker has been mighty in spirit, in willingness and capacity for work, but small in numbers. It is my hope that a greatly increased number of writers and editorial assistants will turn out next fall to help Jim along with his job. Such assistance will greatly lighten his load, and will give all students participating a real sense of satisfaction and pride in their part in, what I am sure will be, a most successful Jayhawker. Campus Clothes (Continued from pagi 394) as the gusset shoulders will probably be more in evidence than before. The trend toward full English drape as we predicted awhile back, is gaining in strength and is gaining strength from the fact that it gives sport back comfort without sacrifice of dressiness. In shoes it is exceedingly interesting to note the tremendous increase in , the acceptance of brown. The new shades of brown being brought out make that color wearable with practically every color of suit. Odd sport coats will gain more of their color from the pattern and color in the fabric and less from the exaggeration of model, which means that belted backs will give way to the gusset shoulder and side or center vents. Now for the final highlight. After many consultations with our observers it is adjudged that we confer the myth- ical title of Best Dressed Man on the Campus to none other than Johnny Dieter of Sigma Chi. His choice of ward- robe and correctness of dress at all times are the chief factors in his choice. For runners up, may we mention Jack Town- send of S.A.E., and Harry Reitz of Delta Chi. The same for Dick Mason of Sigma Nu and Bob Reider, of Delta Tau Delta. Thus we end the year with all good wishes, and borrowing words of a well known radio star, we ' ll say, Thanks for listenin ' . Lost One Dance Orchestra (Continued from page 371) Phis, Pi Phis, Thetas, and all the rest that might be mentioned were present, most of them in a much better frame of mind than one would expect. Rushees, boys and girls, were much in evidence, adding new faces, some of which seem worth looking into. The senior dance managers were not bragging about their party, but after all, what can the poor class dance man- agers do to insure the success of any party? They are chosen by their class- mates to put on a party and are then superseded by another high and mighty dance manager who makes the orches- tra selection, sets the price and then an- nounces the event to the class managers, who in turn get to put on the publicity campaign and get a free ticket. After such parties and after such bands as Mills Blue Rhythm Band have made their appearance on this campus without any loss of money to anyone, it seems queer that the Senior Cakewalk for the same price couldn ' t also afford a band just as good. Maybe if the class dance managers were allowed to use a little of their so- called delegated authority given them by their class to look into this band situa- tion themselves and choose some likely ones to present to this higher-up for approval, enough enthusiasm could be aroused to secure an orchestra that is worth the price paid. If this were done, the dance managers would not be ashamed to say that they at least had a little hand in putting on a good party or to take the blame if it flopped. So down comes the curtain on another year of rhythm and gaiety sponsored by the four classes. The Freshman Frolic with Bobby Meeker; the Soph Hop with Buddy Fisher; the Junior Prom with Lucky Millander and his Blue Rhythm Band; and that last stinking sensation Maurie Sherman and his something or others. And it ' s with a hope for bigger and better class parties in the future that your correspondent leaves you until next fall.

It ' s a musical comedy of the A.E.F. in the war days in which there ' s only a little bit of melodramatic blood and thunder, while all the rest is gaiety, mirth, melody and comedy. The stage play enjoyed a long run in New York and was popularly re- ceived in many other metropolitan centers. With Joan Blondell in the lead- ing support role, the cast included many of the studio ' s top line names such as Beverly Roberts, Joseph King, Winifred Shaw, Robert Borrot and Eric Blore. Warren and Dubin wrote these great song hits for the picture, A Buck and a Quarter a Day, Put On a Uniform, and In the Arms of an Army Man. The funniest scene in Sons o ' Guns is a passionate apache dance number by Joe, that stops the show. The riotous results emerge as the month ' s top enter- tainment at the Granada, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, May 28-29-30.

The rest- ful brown and ochre softness of the leaves and the trees, decaying sweetly dignified, as becomes aristocrats, helped him. He had to shut his eyes against the vision of her, a mocking image that had pursued him even here, but only succeeded in closing it in. And as he sat thus, dumb, unmoving, he felt on his open hand the silken curiosity of one of God ' s tiniest timid ones, a chipmunk.

ASSETS ---- $81,672,130.26 BENEATH THE BACK STEPS OF AD, A COOL SPOT TO LINGER BETWEEN CLASSES MAY, 1936 405 This Beauty Business (Caanutd fnm faff 347) To those more familiar with the situa- tion here it is obvious that the answer does not lie in a quality peculiar to Kan- sas climate or standards of living. Actual study of statistics will recognize that every girl on the K.U. campus has one chance out of 28 every year of be- coming a beauty queen. The potential queenships include those offered by the Sour Owl, the Engineers, the Homecom- ing Committee, the Intramural Carnival, and the Kansas Relays, and sixty in the Jayhawker. Even the Kansan tried to nominate one this year, and was foiled only because too much publicity was accorded to their criteria of choosing. It will be fairly obvious, therefore, to any sane person that the beauty racket comes under the head of big business at the State U. In fact, the last few years have seen beauty evolve from the sublime to the ridiculous. As editor of the publica- tion which is largely responsible for this spectacle which will in four years time allow one girl out of every seven to be a beauty queen, I freely acknowledge that it is time to change our policy. On many campuses to be elected a beauty queen is a coveted honor. Here it has become a mere incident in a hum- drum everyday existence. The attitude of the queens themselves is indicative of the pitiful state into which we have fallen. It has been my experience during the past year that everyone has some interest in beauty contests except the contestants themselves. Certainly getting most of the candidates to cooperate to the extent of having a picture taken has been a con- siderably harder task than moving a mountain. The added trouble of sending pictures to judges and of getting judges to serve has been considerable and the return in student interest has decreased with each issue. The business manager and myself sin- cerely feel that the interests of the Jayhawker as well as our own self-respect demand that we suggest some alternative for the present promiscuous and indis- criminate passing out of the title of beauty queen. Not so long ago but what some of the more dignified seniors can remember, the Jayhawker took care of the beauty problem (and it is no doubt a pressing one) in one all school contest. I should very much like a return to that plan next year. Let all beauties from all classes be judged at once and let the pic- tures of six winners be given a real, effective display in one issue of the maga- zine. This would not only lend some measure of dignity to the contest, but would eliminate a great amount of worry and expense to the staff. For the statistically minded it may also be added that such a change would also raise the odds on being a beauty queen to one in two hundred and eighty. The stiffer competition would make the honor more prized and would beyond a doubt stimulate a little interest among the students and candidates alike. It is more or less universally con- ceded that the beauty contest is an essential element in college life. Ere long it will be a hallowed tradition. Perhaps the student councils will appoint com- mittees to enforce its continued existence and to perpetuate it for future student generations. Having agreed that we shall be continued to be afflicted with beauty contests, why not take steps to avoid repeating the ludicrous spectacles of the last year or so and stage a contest that will really give the winners some measure of distinction and the school some cause to be proud of its beauties. CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES 1025 Massachusetts Telephone 1051 406 THE JAYHAWKER Campus Polylogia (Continued fro m page 392) wonder just what else was included on the program. I might say that the party was largely a stag affair. Now that the smoke of the election battle has drifted away we might tell an incident which occurred after the ballots had been cast and the election committee RENEWED! by ADVANCE CLEANERS TELEPHONE 101 was preparing to make a check-up. It might be well to tell the tale in reverse order . . . from the Kansan came a state- ment by Lyman Field commending James Polkinghorn on the fine way he handled the election returns. Maybe Lyman is right, but if so, I wonder who that inert, blue-faced form slumped down in the Union building that night could have been. Maybe it was the strain of the campaign, and Jim just had to go to sleep. Charlene Barber and Jean Eichen- berger, of Theta, Sue Reed and Teal Bottom, the Pan-Hell girl of KKG, were made examples of after they decided to stay out all night following the Phi Gam party. Without bothering to check out of the house for the night, all went to Kansas City with their dates. Of course they were caught and called before their respective executive committees. Barber and Eichenberger were recipients of cam- puses for nearly the entire remainder of the school year and Bottom and Reed were fined the entire sum of a quarter. If I were a girl I ' d pledge Kappa too. Aileen Snake hips Duvall of the Gamma Phi house is said to have broken her date with Benny Beaver Ewers to the Gamma Phi spring party, in prefer- ence with a newly acquired passion. So immediately the Kappa Kids, led by Jack Townsend decided to try and recruit some of the boys back over to the KKG house by putting Duvall on the Blacklist. Du- valls says that no more Sig Alph dates is hard to take, but as she has gotten along fairly well for the last seventeen years without the Sig Alphs, she believed that she might be able to stand it for the rest of the spring. A flying baseball bat was responsible for a lot of trouble the other day when it found a resting place over the eye of one Jean McKeen, Theta. After the pain had somewhat abated, Betty Lou McFarland, that consoling creature, who was attend- ing the game with her stooge Field, and who had also been in the path of the fly- ing bludgeon, approached the injured one and asked her how she felt. An encour- aging report was given and McFarland, always good for a comeback, with her usual tact and wit exclaimed, Why, Jean, it might have been a lot worse, just think, it might have hit Lyman. Speaking for the Staff (Continued jrom faff 196) the staff, is directly responsible for those miracles that I mentioned earlier in the article. I want to thank the Jayhawker board for their trust in me and for their valuable advice throughout the year. My job is about over and I want to close with the heartiest thanks to all.
