OCTOBER, 1935 Watch for these The Christmas issue of the Jayhawker will include some of the most unique feature material of any of the five issues. 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.

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 )
