For that r eason the magazine ' s staff takes this occasion to invite any student interested in writing, office work, or in the business end of the publication to apply at the JAYHAWKER office within the next two weeks. If you have an idea for an article, if you have drawings to submit, if you can write humorously on cam- pus life and its attendant problems, or if you simply desire to do work lor the magazine in any capacity, please feel free to call at the JAY- HAWKER office at any time to talk with the editor or business manager. Or if it is feminine com- pany you crave, drop in for a chat with the JAYHAWKER ' S attrac- tive secretary, Elizabeth Shearer. She will perhaps be able to find something for you to do to help out in the office. Artists in particular are needed at this time, whether or not they have a definite idea as to subjects or techniques desired. All you need is some degree of ability and a desire to work - you will have no diffi- culty finding something to do. Humor writers, too, seem to have become a scarcity on the campus, if we may be allowed to judge, so if you fancy yourself one of that group, or even if someone has told you you should, whether you believe them or not feel free to come in and talk the matter over with the editor. It ' s new names we want in the magazine, new faces around the office, as decorative background if for no other reason, and new sug- gestions as to how we can make the JAYHAWKER an entirely new magazine, so we ' ll be expecting to see you some afternoon between 1 :30 and 5 o ' clock.

Next issue The December 12 issue of the JAYHAWKER will contain many features you will enjoy. Chief among them will be the pictures of the Hill sororities, where you will be able to point out your girl to your roommate or pick out one whom you think holds especial attraction for future refer- ence. A new group of campus per- sonalities will hold the spotlight in our feature section, and an entirely new treatment of them will be especially attractive, we hope. A resume of the 1Q36 football season will head a long list of feature articles designed to make your JAYHAWKER interesting to read for years to come as well to fur- nish good reading matter over the Christmas holidays. Every photograph, every feature story and every organization page is given a position in the JAY- HAWKER because we feel it to add in some measure to our efforts to make the magazine an accurate and complete record of campus life. And our efforts are not confined merely to the making of a record . our aim is to make the record as real and as natural as we possibly can, so that the little things in our life will not go by unnoticed in the ebb and flow of collegiate existence.

Hubert Anderson ' s contribution to the first issue of the 1937 JAY- HAXVKER. and stands as another mile-post in his long record of service to the magazine. Jim Porter, for three years a mainstay on the Jayhawker ' s edi- torial staff, furnishes one of the features for this issue in the form of a tribute to Mrs. Elizabeth Wat- kins, K. LJ. ' s Godmother. Porter ' s treatment of his subject is interesting and expert, and should not be overlooked by any reader. The cover for this issue is from the brush of Emery Clark, brilliant young New Yorker, whose rise to fame as an artist and illustrator has been as rapid as it has spectacu- lar. A graduate in 1951 from Kan- sas City ' s Paseo High School, Clark attended the Kansas City Art Institute for three years. Clark went East in 1934 and embarked upon his career while a student at the Philadelphia Acad- emy of Fine Arts.

OCTOBER VOLUME LXIX OCTOBER, 1936 NUMBER 1 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the Jayhawker Advisory Board. A record of events and personalities, and a reinew of campus trends and opinions. JAMES H. COLEMAN Editor -in-Chief JACK TOVVNSEND B np M n THE time has come for us to hang up our coat and hat ana try to add our meager bit to this, the first issue of the 1937 JAY- HAWKER. Much as we regret it. we have here a page to be filled, but we are only grateful for the opportunity to say what we want to say about the subjects we choose to discuss. First we beg to call your atten- tion to the general appearance of the new JAYHAWKER. It is quite possible, of course, that there are those who disagree with our tastes in layout and makeup, and if there are such persons among our readers ve will be only too happy to receive their criticisms and sugges- tions as to how we can improve the magazine s appearance in any way. As a matter of fact, we would be only too happy to receive com- munications from those who dis- agree with us, and, of course, hap- pier to receive word from any who agree with us, and promise to print any and all letters we receive either in criticism of commendation of the JAYHAWKER, providing such letters are not intended for the Dove and sent to us by mistake. For instance, here is one letter we have received already, and we are so elated over the fact that we would like to share its contents with our readers: Editor-in-chief JAYHAWKER: W r eII here we are with another year. I want to speak up concern- ing the old question of beauty queens. Why not let the girls have a thrill, what difference does it make whether there are two or twenty-two or more? With so many pretty girls w T ho can say who is the prettiest one or two? Vhat is one man ' s meat is another man ' s poison, vhat I think is beauty someone else may not. I think blondes with delicate features and blue eyes, graceful and slim, are my idea of beauty. I would walk a mile to see Ann Harding, Joan Bennett, etc. My roommate likes his girls dark, the darker the better, and slim, pre- ferably small like Arline Judge, Claudette Colbert. (Ed. note: If we had women like those mentioned here at the University the beauty queen contests would present no problems.) Have as many as you have had but have more than one. judge. I think the idea of your junior judg- ing fine, judge them personally on the final decision. A pretty girl may not photograph as well as one not so pretty. (Ed. note: How true!) But for Pete ' s sake, give us slender girls, take the photographs three-fourths or full length. The buxom amazons some of the ones you have shown are that and they are getting me down. Let us have our bevy of queens, one to suit each one ' s ideal and even-one will be pleased. Who can say who is prettiest? The choice in judging is just a break as it is, the only thing in its favor is that it gives a number of girls a chance and we can take our own pick. Very truly yours, An admirer of good lookers. There you have the whole prob- lem in a Big Bertha shell, except that we can ' t bring ourselves to agree with our lone fan on a few of his points. In our opinion quality is preferable to quantity-, and it is our intention this year to sacrifice the latter for the sake of the former. Thus when you see the second issue of the JAYHAWKER appear December 12 without the usual fifteen freshmen beauties, do not become possessed of the fear that we have forgotten our beauty contests, for we are going to aban- don the four class contests through- out the year in favor of one grand splurge of real beauty in the final issue. We do think, however, that the practice of judging the contestants in person, as followed on a few occasions in the past and endorsed by Mr. Admirer Of Good Lookers, is an excellent one, and if it is at all possible we will use that method. y OCTOBER K.U.GDDMDTHER Mrs. Ekzabeth Vatkins adds another to the list of her benefactions and a new dormitory arises on the Hill By JAMES PORTER CC I . AR bigger than her fortune. J- That is the way Chancellor E. H. Lindley described Mrs. Eliza- beth M. Watkins as he bestowed upon her a medal given by the Dorsey- Liberty American Legion Post of Lawrence for the outstanding citizen of this community last February. And she continues to grow as Lawrence ' s No. 1 Citizen, though her personal wealth is constantly diminish- ing. Last June was announced her latest gift to the University seventy- five thousand dollars for the construc- tion of a women s dormitory similar to and adjoining the present Watkins Hall, her first benefaction to Mount Oread. Mrs. YVatkins shuns publication of her benefactions. In the first place because she assumes that any other woman with her wealth and no one to leave it to would do nothing else but what she is doing. She also knows that even the mention of her gifts in publications will bring her thousands of ' begging letters from ail parts of the country which she cannot find time even to answer. Logically reasoning her largesse, she distributes her money where she feels it will do the most good for the greatest number. Elizabeth M. Miller was bom in New Paris, Ohio, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. V. G. Miller, a pioneer doctor and much-loved man in his community. When his daughter was ten years old. Dr. Miller moved to Lawrence, sending her first to the elementary and high schools and then to the University, when Fraser Hall was the only building on the campus. After gradua- tion, Elizabeth Miller was employed by the J. B. YVatkins Land Mortgage Company where she rose to the position of assistant secretary of the company. In 1909 she became Mrs. J. B. Watkins. Jabez Bunting Watkins, noted financier, railroad builder, banker and land-owner, in whose memory the Watkins Memorial Hospital was donated to the Uni- versity of Kansas, was born near Punxsutawney. Pennsylvania, June 25, 1845. Graduating with a law degree from the University of Michigan in 1869, he started practicing law in Champaign, Illinois, mostly dealing in examination of real estate titles and loans. Four years later he moved to Lawrence, where his constantly expanding business was in 1883 incor- porated and named the J. B. Watkins Land Mortgage Company. Shortly after this, Mr. Watkins went East and won the confidence of Eastern investors. He purchased a million and a half acres of Louisiana land from 1885 to 1890 for fifty cents an acre, then mortgaged it for six dollars an acre. With this profit he drained the land and it became rich rice fields. Then he built a hundred miles of railroads on his holdings. After his death in 1919, Mrs. Watkins sold the rice land to a group of Louisiana oil men for two million dollars and the railroad to the Gould System for a million dollars. In his land dealings in the South a clause in the deed of every parcel sold carried a provision that liquor should never be sold on the premises. The clause was afterwards the cause of litigation, but was upheld by the courts. During the last ten years Mrs. Vatkins has effi- ciently turned a part of the great estate which she helped Mr. Watkins to build into many projects for (Continued on Page 65) JAYHAWKER THE ELEVENTH OLYMPIAD ] Two Kansans are outstanding as Berlin plays host to the world ' s athletes AZl Germany was Iiost this summer to the world ' s topmost athletes in all sports when Berlin entertained the XI Olympiad. And although many miles of ocean separates Hitler ' s realm and the United States, Jay- hawker sports fans everywhere watched the activities in Ger- many of two famous Kansans, Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball; and Glenn Cunningham, vet- eran mile runner. Dr. Naismith, now a professor of physical education at the University of Kansas, was given the trip to the Olympic Games as a tribute from the thousands of fans in the United States who annually witness or participate in the game of basketball, which he origi- nated years ago at Springfield, Mass. The 1936 Games marked the introduction of basketball into the official roster of sports at the modern Olympics. Besides watching as many of the basketball games as he could attend, Dr. Naismith was also a witness to the 1500-meter run. It was a thrilling race, he stated. Cunningham was well back in the group when the runners jumped to a start. About the middle of the race he took the lead, but in the last lap Jack Lovelock of New Zealand shot around the turn and into the fore by five yards. Lovelock never relinquished this lead and won the race. Glenn finished second, and another Kansan, Archie San Romani of Emporia State Teachers College finished fourth behind Luigi Beccali of Italy. Although Lovelock gets credit for breaking the world ' s record in this race, the first five runners to finish the distance were clocked under the formerly accepted mark. In speaking of Glenn ' s running in this race, as well as of his competition in other contests, Dr. Naismith predicts a well-earned future for Cunningham in the field of physical education. ' Glenn is well-equipped to undertake a responsible position. He already has earned his master ' s degree and now is doing work on his doctor ' s degree. His studies, together with his vast amount of competitive experience. will give him an invaluable background for his future profession. Too, Dr. Naismith was high in his praise of Cun- ningham s rigorous training discipline, and seemed confident that the mile-runner ' s health has been unim- paired by his strenuous activity on the cinder track. And thus Dr. Naismith revealed that he is univer- sally interested in athletics, because he showed the same careful observance of the track and field events and other contests as he did of the basketball games. These games, he said, were contested among the teams of twenty-one nations. Played on five courts, the cage eliminations began on August 7. In the first round, the United States players drew a forfeit from Spain, whose team was unable to leave their country during its civil strife. Uncle Sam ' s players continued from this first-round forfeit and emerged with a string of unbroken victories to win the first Olympic basketball championship by beating Canada in the final round. Prominent in the team s success were members of the McPherson (Kans.) Oilers basketball team, who were combined with the Hollywood Universal cagers to be the official United States team. The height of these American players gave them a tremendous advantage throughout the games, stated in his second Olympiad By J. HUBERT ANDERSON Dr. Naismith, and because the smaller players from the Asiatic and southern European countries were so overshadowed, there will in all probability be a division of classes in the next international basketball competition, in which the teams with tall players and the teams with short players will compete in separate tournaments. Dr. Naismith indicated that he was in favor of such a classification. However, even though there were inequalities of height among the players at the 1936 Games, the brand of basketball played was consistently fast and well-contested, he stated. The officiating, too, was done very nicely, said Dr. Naismith. There were four referees a Chinese, a Czechoslovakian, an American, and a Canadian. And even though minor differences occurred in the interpretation of rules, there was no crabbing among the players. ' Despite the fact that he remembered many of these details about the games and their players. Dr. Naismith could n ot recall the name of the international basket- ball association which elected him its honorary presi- dent. He finally concluded that it was some such name as the International Union of Basketball Federations. And this is a sample of his sincere interest in what other people are doing, not in the honor which comes to him as the inventor of basketball. Asked if he had any pictures of his presentation to the assembled players of the competing nations at the opening of the Olympic basketball tournament. Dr. Naismith said, VelI, now, there were a lot of pic- tures taken of me there, but I II be blessed if I know where I can lay my hands on one. Too, he treated as a matter of course the fact that he was not presented to Adolph Hitler. He was per- fectly pleased to have seen Der Feuhrer through field glasses when the German leader was kissed by an unidentified woman. Hitler first looked startled, said Dr. Naismith. Then his expression changed, and he appeared as one who might be going to take the incident good- naturedly. But he quickly regained his stern com- posure, and his guards removed the intruder. Hitler is viewed by Dr. Naismith as being a leader who assembled the proud nation of German people after they had been humiliated by the effects of the treaties made at the termination of the Vorld Var. In discussing this new German nation Dr. Naismith preferred to dwell upon the admirable characteristics of Hitler as a leader rather than upon his questionable tactics. Fairness in criticism, not diplomacy, seemed to be his reason for speaking as he did. This entire Nazi movement is a psychological reaction to a situation in which the German people found themselves, stated Dr. Naismith. Before we criticize too severely the Nazi movement we must con- sider the events which produced it. Dr. Naismith likewise spoke with fairness about the widely publicized Eleanor Holm Jarrett case. He upheld the American officials who dropped the A normal crowd at the Olympics woman swimmer from good standing, saying that the cause of clean athletics necessarily had to be foremost in a consideration of the case. Thus it was that Dr. Naismith spoke freely of other people. He spoke of their accomplishments and of their defeats all in the same tone of sincere understanding. Just so did the inauguration of basketball in Olympic sport circles represent to him progress in athletics, not fulfillment of any personal ambition. THE JAYHAWKER THE HEAD MAN ,,-,., Chancellor Lindley is nationally recognized as a scholar and educator By ELIZABETH SHEARER FOR SIXTEEN years the University of Kansas has been guided by a man who is not only a progressive administrator, but also an eminent scholar and a citizen of nationally known fame. Such a per- sonality as Chancellor E. H. Lindley is held in awe by the majority of students. We do not easily com- prehend that he is still a student like the rest of us and once was struggling through the same kind of difficulties which we are encountering today. Perhaps that is largely why Dr. Lindley has obtained such a high degree of success. His complete understanding of student life is constantly being manifested, recently in the important role which he played as a sponsor of the nation ' s plan to provide education for our under- privileged youth. To those of us attending the Univer- sity it is exceedingly interesting to trace Chancellor 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. It was in Bloomington, Indiana, that Dr. Lindley ' s formal schooling began. There, while working day and night in his father s drug store, he completed his preparatory work at the age of 14. Circumstances were such, however, that Chancellor Lindley was unable to enter Indiana University immediately. In- stead he worked for three years in his father ' s drug store, where he made many valuable over the counter acquaintances. David Starr Jordan, then president of Indiana University, was a steady customer at the drug Chancellor E. H. Lindley 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, joining Jordan and happening to be going in the same direction. Vhether or not Jordan ' s suspicions were aroused by the frequency of these coincidences, he welcomed them, for, naturalist and counselor 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. Vhen at last he was able to enroll in the U niversity of Indiana, 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 the Chancellor to counsel students not to be discouraged if their college education has to be postponed a few years. Despite the fact that he was still working 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 par- ticipated in campaigns which doubtless were as feverish (Continued on Page 68) mm OCTOBER , DISCRETION, NOT DISCIPLINE The student advisers ' job is to help, not to punish By G. ROCKWELL SMITH IN the good old days of the rah rah college boy, to be sent to the Dean was something for the alumni to boast about along with the pranks of hell- week and how the homecoming football game was won: but to the undergraduate it meant a severe shak- ing of the knees and a general loss of sleep. But daugh- ter, oh! Today, students are not only invited but urged by the Dean of Vomen and the Dean of Men, through their message in the K Book, to come in just to get acquainted. Under the present plan, discretion rather than discipline is employed to help solve the students ' problems. Even the title of Dean has been dropped and changed to Adviser. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, the Adviser of Women, came to the University in the fall of 1918 to teach in the home economics department, and was appointed to her present office to succeed Dean Agnes Husband in the spring of 1955. Miss Meguiar was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and has all the charm and hospitality of the true Southerner. She grad- uated from the Sci- ence Hill School for Girls at Shelbyville, Kentucky, and enrolled in the Univer- sity of Chicago, where she majored in home economics. From there, she went East to teach in the depart- ment of home economics at Pennsylvania College. After spending three years there she was asked to teach home economics at Chicago University, but because of sickness she was unable to complete her first year. She then taught in the University of Texas, coming from there to K. U. In addition to serving on enough committees to make a whole bowl of alphabetical soup if they were to be put under the present national administration, she directs employment for women students, supervises their living conditions, authorizes all social affairs of each Hill organization, and makes up the University social calendar. Her office strives to promote a spirit of harmony and to coordinate social and extra-curricu- lar activities for women. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar Air. Henry erner Mr. Henry Vemer has been Adviser of Men at Kansas University since 1929, when he succeeded Dean John R. Dyer to that position. In the role of Adviser to Men, Mr. Verner is a very busy and important personage in the life and activities of students in the University. His office provides a center of advice and informa- tion to all men stu- dents. It is his duty to see that student life as a whole is running smoothly, and that student organizations are functioning. Mr. Vemer was born in England and personifies the non- chalance and tact of the English gentleman even to the accent. Before coming to Kansas Mr. Verner attended the Liver- pool Technical School, the University of Liverpool, and the Physikalisher Verein in Frankfort, Germany. In 1920, he came to the University of Kansas and received his Master of Arts degree in 1928. Aside from being the Adviser of Men, Mr. Werner serves on the Student Activity Committee, the Union Operating Committee, and the Committee on Student Affairs. He is also associate professor of chemistry, and is a member of the American Chemical Society, the Academy of Science, and the University Club. Mr. Verner is an ardent fisherman, and in collabo- ration with Professor H. B. Chubb, has been working on a new method of fishing that is truly revolutionary. After many years spent in laboratory research and studying the habits of certain fish, they have worked out a plan whereby a piscatorial decoy is used. A fish of the type they wish to fish for is caught, and a small hole is punched in its dorsal fin; then a string with an inflated balloon tied on one end is fastened through this hole. Fish such as wall-eyed pike and crappie stay in schools, so when their fish is released, he will swim until he finds a school of other fish, and then he will stop. AH the anglers have to do is to follow the balloon and they know exactly where to fish! This method has already been adopted on Leech Lake, Minnesota, where the two men spent a month (ConlinupJ on Page 8O) THE JAYHAWKER We present the initial installment oj an informal portfolio of campus events, gossip, and personalities C ROM that sticky night in May when proud and beaming parents heaved a sigh of relief as we left high school behind until that not-too-far-off proces- sion down the Hill to the stadium as we say goodbye to K. LJ., one unpleasant idea more than any other is K. U. version o the Mar. on the Street forced upon us. Beginning at home with Mother and Dad, big brother and the proprietor of the local drug- store, and continuing through the endless chain of Chancellor, dean, prof, fraternity upperclassman, and editorials in the Kansan, we are never allowed to forget that we are here for study primarily. Dismal thought, don ' t you think, George? As a rule, a few semesters on what the poet chooses to call Mount Oread s sunny slopes are sufficient to dispel any considerable faith in this popular super- stition, but occasionally on a dark night you may stumble over some firm believer asleep on the library i f aistrallon opnins , BEGINNING: By THE JAYWALKER steps. Through the year in these columns the Jay- walker will defend his firm conviction that, Phi Beta Kappas to the contrary notwithstanding, it ' s the little things in life that count at the U., as elsewhere. The friends, the parties, the embarrassing moments, the big shots, the jams, and the breaks that make the four college years the hub of our life history. One more word and we ' re off. In this little chronicle of the people and places that will make up the bits of the mosaic that will be the next year, I ' ll try not to infringe on the territory of the Social VheeI or Cam- pus Polylogia. My aim is to be neither a society reporter nor a scandalmonger. Rather, I ' d like to pick up the little ends that often pass as too commonplace for notice and preserve them here. And so, if you ' re ready, let s be off and see what ' s been doing and who s been doing it. Probably the most deserted place in Kansas about September 1 is the campus, and nothing brings more of a thrill than to be on hand as the students return. It brings back life like a pulmotor to a near-drowned man. I ' ve often had the feeling that the deserted campus had about as much personality as dead fish. George O. really ought to have a medal on hand for the first student to put in an appearance each fall. The first unmistakable sign of the imminence of school s opening is the glimmering of a few sorority house lights, and the scattered representation of the male element calling up indiscriminately and asking, Who ' s back? Does she want a date tonite? And the first break of the year by Mary Markham, Gamma Phi s blonde contender for honors as campus queen, who left home in such a flutter that she forgot the keys to her trunk.

The Mill, long popular with the coke snifflers, has been enlarged and redecorated during the summer. Charlie also boasts a new air cooling system to match that of Dick Wagstaff, owner of YViedemann ' s, and dean of the permanent student body. If you haven ' t already done so. drop into the new Sour Owl office in the Union basement, and hear the Owl s success story from Major Bob Corey, business mana- ger, and man about the campus. The Owl is expanding this year and boasts a section dedicated to our neigh- bors at Kansas State. Plans are under way to circulate the Owl all through Kansas this winter so it seems inevitable that the homefolks will know the worst. Dave Ham- lin, editor of the humor mag, promises a bigger and better Owl than ever had in the memory of living man, and less of the cheap sheet of the last few years. The funny paper was a few days late in its first appearance, and the boys used that prize of printer ' s alibis, the ink didn ' t dry. The first issue justified all predictions, and if the good work keeps up Owl and Co. will have a banner year. Vfi n itte herd receives its instructions The new crop of pledges was a bumper one in quantity and the Greeks say in quality as well. The boys fought it out in the good old-fashioned way, and it still hasn t been decided who won. Any possible violations of the rules were settled out of court to the mutual satisfaction of all concerned. The girls ' rush rules are a bit more complex and to my mind a bit medieval. Locking fair maidens in castles went out some six hundred years ago. But what sthe use? You can generally tell a Kansas coed, but you can ' t tell her much.

Despite dire warning the yearlings Braving tfc rain to attend convocation always delight in start- ing the year out right. VhiIe their little pasteboards stated that attendance would be taken as evidence of cooperation with the Dean ' s office or words to that effect, it evidently hasn ' t taken them as long as it did some of us to discover that life at the U. consists of incessant cooperation with the Dean ' s office, while that office seldom cooperates with them.

But something was missing of the old fire and excitement of the now historical days when the paddles carried by the K-men meant something. Hence the first part of the new student induction was more like a funeral than an induction. With almost twice the normal number of freshmen present, and a sincere curiosity replacing the former fear of intimidation, the ceremony proved more impres- sive than ever before. However it reflected barbar- ism at times when routine turned to humor in the eyes of the novitiates. Just as twilight gave way to the artificial beams from the windows of Corbin Hall, a torch appeared from back of the speakers stand. Carried by a member of Sachem, it was handed to a member of Mortar Board, who lighted the fire in the University hearth. Members of the glee club gathered in the center of the circle and led the new students in singing the Crimson and the Blue, after which the firebasket part of the ceremony was explained by a member of the faculty. The symbolic torch, taken from the University seal, was lighted at the hearth and carried by a pursuent of A scene of tin student induction The Chancellor places the ceremonial cap the knowledge it represents around the top of Ml. Oread, behind the administration building, and down to the Rock Chalk Cairn, where the second fire was lighted. And then from across the valley, over the stadium, a bugle call signaled the marchers to start their trek down the hill into the stadium for the remainder of the ceremony. Marching a silent half-time and four abreast they came, around the dark east side and gradually into the light of the ceremonial altar. Led by the K-men swing- ing their useless leather paddles, the freshmen were directed into two sections facing the Greek altar in the north end of the stadium. There in the darkness K. U s. new generation heard the ideals and dreams of the founders of this their newly adopted home - presented by older members of the faculty, and saw them pictured on the enlarged illustration of the University seal. Something of the spirit of ancient Greece was reflected in the spirit of the crowd as the torch was relayed over the final lap from the Rock Chalk Cairn to the altar. There it was handed to an alumnus, who in turn handed it to a mem- ber of the senior class, thence down the line to the freshman who lighted the third and last fire of the ceremonial. A lasting impression was made with the repeating of the Athenian Oath. It was then the freshman became a member of his class, one of the University family. It was then that determination overshadowed every doubt and fear. He no longer saw the robes of the speakers as being made of broadcloth and velvet but rather as symbols of achievement. And his tribute to these intan- gible wonders of a new world a respectful silence. OCTOBER BUTTON, BUTTON Occasionally several emblems appear upon the scene simultaneously, with the problem settled far in advance By CLAVELLE HOLDEN WHEN the smoke of the rush week battle cleared away there stood four hundred and fifty neo- phytes with their halos removed and in their place a small, unimportant badge signifying pledgeship. After the usual hectic battle of mud-slinging and word- swapping the hellenic warriors declared an end to another great and worthwhile struggle no different than any in the history of rush weeks in that not a single admission of defeat reached the ears of rival Greeks. So when everybody wins and nobody loses, hard feelings should be a thing unheard of and any remarks published herein labelled purely as ' rush week prattle. The most talked of story to reach our ears was one from the Phi Delt chapter. They must have made it a pledge duty for their freshmen to tell everyone they met. To begin with, the rushee was from Arkansas City, which gave the Kappa Sigs two strikes with him, and his father and brother wore the emblem fair of Beta Theta Pi. The last fact gave the Betas the third strike, but evidently the man didn ' t know anything about baseball because when rush week ended he was in the Phi Delt fold. Score one for the side versus the Betas. Another choice story was in regard to the Violet Club boarders. It seems they were rushing a man from the City whose father was a member of the local Phi Psi boarding club. Anyw 7 ay the rushee decided he wanted to be a Sig Alf, nobody knows why, and he was in the City with a pledge button in his pocket. The Sig Alfs even went so far as to turn his name in to the Kansan as a pledge. But the boy ' s father stepped into the breech and led his wandering boy to the Phi Psi lodge, informing him that there was only one fraternity to pledge. Inciden- tally the Phi Delts pulled a similar stunt on one of the other Greek lodges. For obvious reasons we will skip names, particulars, and try and forget all about it. In our humble opinion the girls from the crescent lodge win the grand prize for pledging the plum of rush week, to-wit: Isabelle Bash. Another welcome addition to the same pledg e class is Barbara Bonham. a product of Chevy Chase. Say what you will of the Betas, nevertheless they pledged Dan Hamilton, son of the fiery national chairman of the Republican party. We can ' t figure out why the Landon men didn ' t get him. Maybe he didn ' t look like good T. N. E. material. The Betas are already singing laurels of the Typical the Greeks battled man they predict will take the place of the great Field, one Wallace Springer of Kansas City (per- sonally we hope he has only his trait of leadership.) The Sigma Chis induced twenty-two men to regis- ter at their palatious mansion Which reminds us of another story concerning the Betas. (This is the last.) They were rushing this summer a very prominent man from St. Joseph who received an Annapolis appoint- ment but decided he didn t want it. Confident to the last, the Betas gave him Sigma Chi rush dates as a mere courtesy. And the fellow pledged Sigma Chi The Hotel keepers also pledged a Dick Mize from Atchison, said to be quite a prize. The Alpha Chis say with much pride, and boast- ingly, that one look at Ann Reynolds, Jean VeIlman, and Jeanette Hardy would explain why they were pledged. The Horseshoe and X girls seemed to be extremely well satisfied with this year s crop. The rush captain out at the A. T.

To the fraternity or sorority member who has to let dignity and sen- iority slip so far as to apply an effective combination of wax and elbow grease to a hardwood floor; to the football hero who grimly bears the humiliation of trundling a lawn mower over an acre of summer ' s growth; to the rush captain who engages in a frenzied last minute harangue to already overburdened brethren or sisters; to drowsy Greeks in midnight session; to the green rushee from Podunk corner; the blase one from the metropolis; to the girl who for a week can ' t speak to her sister or best friend: to the boy who for a like time can ' t talk on the phone to his best girl; to the worried mama who frantically calls a soror- ity house to say, Nellie comes from a fine family, I ' m Nellie ' s mother; to the Betas I.

Yet the end arrives at last, and each organization emerges worn out. hut proud and happy with the best class on the Hill. And. as a rule, the pledges believe it too. but there comes a day of reckoning, with black mark and paddle. So rush week is but the begin- ning, and in time fades into a pleasant memory. For some a time when cherished ambitions are dashed to bits, for others the end of the rainbow, to all a brief period of hectic, nerve-wracking nonsense. A Roman holiday indeed. THE JAYHAWKER The freshmen voluntarily don their caps WHAT DF OUR TRADITIONS? A close observer discusses the history of the University ' s traditions and traces clearly the trends in their development. ON THE night of September 25 the freshmen of the University of Kansas assembled on North College Hill to take into their own hands the respon- sibility of voluntarily donning the freshman cap. The group, though not large, was attended with a genuine enthusiasm which is often lacking at such functions. It appears that at least one phase of the much mis- understood question of Hill traditions has settled itself. The problem of the freshman cap has confronted the Men s Student Council, the K-men, and other groups in the University many times before this last incident occurred. The perennial question of what is happening to our traditions apparently is solved in this one instance, for the recent initiative taken by the freshmen is in a direction harmonious with the original intent of the custom. In 1909 the treatment of freshmen at the Uni- versity by upperclassmen began to assume the aspects of organized hazing. Certain obstreperous individuals of the freshman class had been duly chastised for some of their deeds, but no organized punitive measures against the class as a whole had yet been By ROBERT BURTIS practiced. In order to try to ward off such measures, certain upperclassmen suggested to the freshmen that they could better protect themselves and build class and school spirit if they organized their class into a compact group, and that in organizing it they should have some means of identifying their fellow members. Thus it was that the freshman class of 1909 adopted a cap as a means of protection, and as a symbolic gesture establishing their association as an integral part of the University. In its inception, then, it is obvious that the cap was a sign of honor. Its use was to be governed by the freshmen themselves. Not until later did the nefarious practice of employing physical coercion to enforce the wearing of the cap make its incursion on the college scene. Just how the practice began has not been defi- nitely determined as yet; research on the subject is being conducted at the present time. One thing is certain, and that is that the paddling of the freshmen for infraction of rules regarding the wearing of the cap was a serious deviation from the real tradition as first conceived. In the school year of 1919 and 1920 the hazing situation became so outrageous that it finally pre- OCTOBER cipitated serious action on the part of the Men ' s Student Council. A constitution which was written for the Council gave to that organization direct over- sight of the Hill traditions, but it also specified in a further clause that these customs were not to be enforced by resorting to physical or punitive methods of any sort. To police against abuses the constitution delegated to Sachem and to the K-men the prerogative of enforcing the letter of the law. The constitution was too long to put into the K Book in its entirety; con- sequently it was condensed, and through this process was also deleted of the very clause which positively denied the Council the right of using physical punish- ment to enforce traditions. With the changing of personnel from year to year not only in the Council, but in the school as a whole, the original constitution was soon lost from sight. Then the K-men adopted paddling and resorted unknowingly to the very type of abuse that had been their duty, given by the constitu- tion, to keep out. Under this status K. U. tradition history proceeded until the school year of 1925-26. Again the foreboding clouds of the problem of freshman discipline darkened the horizon of the University picture. The freshmen protested against the spurious intentions behind many of the disciplinary measures used to maintain tradi- tions. Their protest became so active that it threatened to manifest itself in the burning of their caps publicly at the homecoming game with Missouri. Fortunately a few foresighted faculty members realized the immen- sity of this threat and managed to bring about an understanding between the freshman class and the Men ' s Student Council. Each went half way to meet the demands of the other; the freshman induction cere- mony was introduced, with the cap being placed on the representative of the freshman class as a symbolic gesture of honor by the Chancellor. The Men ' s Student Council lived up to its promises in eradicating some of the objectionable features of the freshman discipline, but the problem of real impor- tance, the actual paddling, was soon back again. Last year the K-men voluntarily abdicated t heir rights An outstanding ce efcration of last year to wield the club after a combined public opinion, with the editorial policy of the Kansan and a virtual storm of protest by the faculty, expressed itself as being disfavorable to the custom. Thus following three periods of crisis, 1909, 1919, and 1925, the recent action of the freshmen finally has reverted to the origi- nal purposes of the cap tradition as first intended. The freshman cap affair is only a part of the whole body of customs and historic practices which consti- Tiro froth talk it over tutes what we call traditions; yet the story of its development, culminating in this last incident, goes far in pointing the way in which our traditions now are trending. In spite of the unwarranted fears of many persons to the effect that we are losing all the worthwhile traditions of the school, a conjuncture of the cap-donning incident with other circumstances shows that we decidedly are not forfeiting our heritage. Rather would it appear that for the first time in years we now are falling back into a line of development which is in conformity with the true traditions of the University as originally instigated. To comprehend fully the previous statement it is necessary to realize the type of traditions K. U. has cherished and fostered in accordance with its purposes and ideals. From its incipience Kansas University has been singularly renowned for its love of culture. Its adher- ence to this ideal has been responsible for the place it has gained among the universities of the mid-West. From the first there was built up a spirit, an esprit de corps, concordant with this ideal.

Kenneth Lewis OCTOBER THE UNIVERSITY LOSES A LEADER And with the passing of Dean Shaad countless engineers and engineering students lose a friend and counselor By ROBERT PEARSON LAST summer Kansas University lost Dean George C. Shaad, and the loss is more deeply felt then outward appearances would indicate. The School of Engineering and Architecture lost a beloved leader; the entire University lost an unforgettable personality. Dean Shaad was a student of human character and an educator, but above all he was an engineer. He was no chalk-wielder and book-scholar ele- vated to the head of an educational institution: he was a skilled engineer who chose to pass on a portion of his knowledge and ability to the skilled engineers of the future. And every Kansas University engineer who came to know Dean Shaad cherished this heritage. George Shaad was born in Strat- ford, New York, and received his pre- paratory education there. He attended Pennsylvania State College, where he received his B. S. degree in 1900 and an advanced degree in elec- trical engineering in 1905. About a year later he was married to Miss Merthyr Tydvil Evans at West Pits- ton, Pennsylvania. For two years after his gradua- tion from college he gained practical experience in the shops of the General Electric Company at Schenec- tady, Xew York. Before he became a professor ol electrical engineering at the University of Kansas in 1909, Dean Shaad had been a member of the engi- neering faculty at the University of Wisconsin and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dean George Dean Shaad was appointed in 1916 by Josephus Daniels, secretary of navy, as a director of the State Organization for Industrial Preparedness. Soon after- ward he became acting dean while Dean Perley F. Walker was in war service, winning special recognition for his success in this capacity. At that time one thousand men had to be specially trained for army service by June, 1919, which necessitated reorganiza- tion of the entire method and material of teaching. The responsibility for this tremendous task fell on Dean Shaad. Yet at the time of the Armistice, months before the final date, 927 men had received their certificates at the University of Kansas. In 1918 Dean Shaad made a speech, foreseeing the opportunities open to engineers in the reconstruction work following the war. Since then, nearly all his pre- dictions have come true. This is but one example of the way in which his perception of values reached far beyond his academic work. In 1927, at the death of Dean Walker, he became Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture. Dean Shaad s book on The Con- struction and Operation of Electrical Power Stations has been incorpo- rated as a section of the standard handbook for electrical engineering. His published articles on engineering are too numerous to mention here. Furthermore, he was even more popular as a speaker than as an author. He was constantly in demand for addresses before engineering groups. He was active in many professional and honorary societies, including the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, the Kansas Engineering Society, Phi Kappa Phi. Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi. Theta Tau, and most important, the American Insti- tute of Electrical Engineers. He was vice-president and member of the board of directors of the latter organization and rendered it invaluable service in his lifetime. Recently he was its representative for the states of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Lou- isiana, and eastern Texas to the Engineers ' Council for Professional Development. There could be no better evidence of Dean Shaad ' s ability in applied engineering than the confidence in his opinion that was exhibited by public officials. He often met with the city authorities of middle western to vns concerning the technical aspects of (Continued on Page ) THE JAYHAWKER COLLEGE SCENE Both the tang of autumn and the spirit of football are in the air and the gridiron becomes the focal point of University sports interest By H. M. MASON, JR. ONCE again King Football holds sway. As the tang of autumn pervades the air, the sport which every week-end lures thousands, even millions of spec- tators into stadiums, takes the center of the stage. And on Mount Oread the situation is typical of that on college campuses throughout the land. Sweating, straining gridders scrimmage every afternoon as they prepare rigorously for the football wars which lie ahead of them. No championships are being pinned on the Jay- hawker team in advance. There is little doubt tha t Kansas will have a good team but the calibre of the opposition causes the experts to shake their heads doubtfully as they consider the Jayhawkers ' chances. Nevertheless hopes are high at Lawrence-on-the-Kaw. Last year when the experts could see no hope for Kansas, the men of Coach Ad Lindsey humbled Kansas State and Oklahoma and gave the king-pin ( ] ] li iJ UNIVEHSITY 1936 FOO KXfNSAS BALL 1936 SAVE ' 39.5 STADIUM OCT. 3 WASHBURN OCT. 17 OKLAHOMA OCT. 31 ARIZONA NOV. 7 (civic DAY) ADM.

At the end of the season the team rested in third place in the conference standings, topping the defending cham- pion, Kansas State. And the general opinion is that the 1936 team will be better than that scrappy aggregation of last year. The spring practice was the most successful in years. The men on the squad have ability and an intense desire to play the game. The line will be nearly 15 pounds to the man heavier than last year ' s. A banner crop of sophomores moved up to the Varsity squad this fall and as a result the old bogey which has pursued Kansas for the past several years, a lack of reserve strength, is not nearly such a problem. The Jayhawkers opened their season October 3 against a hard fighting Washburn team and emerged on the long end of a 19-6 score as (lie result oT two touchdowns by Clarence Douglass and one by Francis Paronto. Although the game was not spectacular, the offenses of both teams showed to better advan- tage than their respective defenses. Washburn shot the works in a futile effort to upset Coach Lindsey ' s eleven and by use of a wide assort- ment of trick plays pushed over a touchdown in the third quarter. Kansas, on the other hand, was con- tent to use straight football in scoring its three touchdowns. The visitors kicked off to Kansas but the Jayhawkers were soon forced to punt. After five or six minutes of sparring, the Jayhawkers began a drive which was culminated by their first OCTOBER 1936 FDR AUTUMN touchdown. Paronto, whose returns of Washburn punts were a feature of the game, took a Washbum kick on the dead run and raced it back 10 yards to the Washburn 34-yard line. Paul Masoner picked up 18 yards in three slashes at the center of the line, with five of the yards going to make up for ground lost on an offside penalty. Vith a first down on the 21 -yard line. Shirk went through center for 6 yards. Two more plays produced a first down on the 10-yard line and from that spot Paronto sliced off right tackle for a touchdown. Weinecke converted the extra point. Kansas then kicked off to the Ichabods and when Washburn found it necessary to punt, the Jayhawkers began their second drive to green pastures. Paronto returned the punt 12 yards to the YVashburn 43-yard line. An offside penalty on Washburn and plunges by Masoner brought a first down on the 31 -yard stripe. The squad limbers up as the first quarter ended. A new backfield composed of George Hapgood, Joe Giannangelo, Max Replogle and Clarence Douglass entered the game at this point.

Flint WHEN children are small they select as their life s ambitions such picturesque vocations as policeman, fireman or the street car motorman on their particular trolley line. Never has one been heard to say Pop, I want to be a newspaper man. Perhaps this is a typical example of the naive wis- dom of youth. For the fourth estate, as the profession is called, seldom has anything like an estate connected with it. It is generally recognized as one of the poorest paid of the professions. Still the University of Kansas has even a larger enrollment in its journalism depart- ment than ever before. Perhaps this is again exemplary of the naive wisdom or innocence of youth. The University Daily Kansan, official student news- paper of the University, is one of the few completely all-student projects on the campus. Ranking with the student government organizations, it stands as a pro- ject of student achievement and student endeavor towards an ultimate goal of serving the Mt. Oread com- monwealth. There is no need to discuss the compensations in journalism over and above the pecuniary shortcomings the thrill of seeing your stuff in print, the race to meet the dead-line, the coverage and interpretation of facts and vital information that affects a world of people all this is merely part of the game and is accepted as such. Truly the smell of the office paste-pot and printer ' s ink combined with the noise of the typewriters and the roar of the press, makes for spell-binding romance and gives opportunity for expression seldom equaled in any other profession. This is the true essence and appeal of newspaper work. The official student paper of the University of Kansas is the billing carried under the name plate of the Daily Kansan. But by official the Kansan does not stand as an organization connected with or acting under the direction of the administrative councils of the University itself. It has no faculty censorship, but depends upon the good taste and direction of its student editors. It receives no dic- tatorship, but serves the student body because its directors are chosen from that group. The University Daily Kansan truly is a free press. It is a cooperative, non-profit, self-supporting student project. The Daily Kansan ' s internal organization is one so set up as to protect itself against any one person or body from dominating or misusing its influence for any selfish or detrimental ends. Its supreme authority is vested in the Kansan Board, a group of twelve undergraduates interested and enrolled in jour- nalism and selected on their merit, their interest in the paper, and their achievements. This year the Kansan Board is composed of John OCTOBER Thus self-styled is the University Daily Kansan Malone, publisher; Bill Gill, editor-in-chief; Bill Downs, managing editor; Don Huls, campus editor; Dale O ' Brien, associate editor; Quentin Brown, busi- ness manager; Mary Rutter, feature editor; Marion Mundis, sports editor; Kenneth Postlethwaite, telegraph editor; David Hamlin, editor of the Sour Owl; Alice Haldeman-Julius and Jim Polkinghor n. It is this group of students that acts as the check on the paper ' s activi- ties, as an originator of its policies, and as an elective body for the selection of its editors and managers. John Malone, the present publisher, whose term will last the first semester, has immediate control over all phases of the paper. He is the czar, per se. He has the power to print or advocate in the pages of the Kan- san anything and everything that he sees fit. But, should he get Hearstean ideas or publish anything that the Kansan Board considers detrimental or in bad taste, he is subject to impeachment by a vote of this group. The other elective positions of editor-in-chief, manag- ing editor and business manager are subject to the same ruling. Bill Gill, editor-in-chief, is responsible for the selec- tion, editing and writing of the editorials and editorial features that appear on that page. He has appointed as his associates during his quarterly term, Dale O ' Brien and Alma Frazier. The interpretative material printed in the Kansan is handled by this group. The Student Opinion column, a feature which prints readers ' com- ments and criticism and one of the most popular in the paper, is also under the direction of this department. The news coverage is under the direction of Bill Downs, managing editor. He has appointed Don Huls, campus editor; Jim Porter, news editor; Kenneth Postle- thwaite, telegraph editor; Grace Valentine, society editor; Marion Mundis, sports editor; Phil Stratton and Dwight Bridges, make-up editors; and Howard Rusco with Doris Kent and Stephen David as the Sunday staff. Any morning al eignl o ' clock The news staff handles the reporters, assigns the stories and beats and puts the paper to ' bed every night. Special columns and features are written by those students best adapted for this specialized type of work. On the Shin, the Kansan gossip column, is handled jointly by Allen Asher and Reginald Heap, who replaced David Hamlin when the latter took over the editorship of the Sour Owl. The Roving Reporter, the The controlling forces confer question-a-day feature, is conducted by Stephen David. Interviews and special news features have been covered by Kenneth Postlethwaite, Alice Haldeman-Julius, David Partridge and Virgil Mitchell. Specialized sports writers and interpreters include Rosemary Smith, for the women, and Horace Mason, for the men. Advertising, circulation and the general business side of the Kansan has as the manager Quentin Brown and his associate Elton Carter. These men are respon- sible for the financial independence of the paper. Not to remain uncredited are the reporting and edit- ing students, numbering over one hundred, who are responsible for the more routine work on the paper.

Some people attribute the banality of the proceedings of many years ' Councils to the ordinariness of the coops in which they met. The banality of proceedings is attested by clip upon clip, taken from the University Daily Kansan ' s files, screaming strident warnings to campus cribbers that the Council in its most important meeting of the year lashed out at cheaters with greater fines and more humiliating punish- ments. Finally the penalty pro- claimed by one aggregation was expulsion from school upon certain ill-defined conditions. No succeed- ing Council could outdo the fine business, so soon the memorable debates on whether or not the var- sity dance manager should be paid and what to do with students who wrote snow checks began. And so it went. Last year, however, in spite of the room off the book exchange, the Council snapped out of it and gave us student forums, an N. S. F. A. meet on the campus, a student court, and a revised constitution. This year more can be expected. A new ruling by which the presidents of the fresh- man and sophomore classes are allowed a seat and a vote on the Council hikes the membership to twenty- seven. The party membership is about even now twelve for the P. S. G. L. ' s and eleven for the Pacha- camacs at the latest count. Three of the officers, John Phillips, Hubert Anderson, and ViIIiam Zupanec, are Pachacamacs, while the fourth, Dave Conderman, is a P. S. G. L. Of course it ' s too early in the season for the Council to do much more than lay plans, put irons in the fire, but here are some of the projects under consideration: First is a central band booking agency for middle western schools. The plan, if carried through, would permit the schools to hire big bands at nominal fees on the supposition that a big band will play for, say $500 a dance if several $500 dances close together are lined up for it. If the project goes through we II be dancing to bands from Benny Goodman on down . . . or up. The Council has already begun correspondence on the plan with the governing associations in the Big Six schools, Washburn, the University of Kansas City, Colorado University and Iowa University. The feasibility of setting up a Council agency to book bands for Hill organizations is also under con- sideration. If the plan materializes, Hill organizations will come to the agency to ascertain the availability, price, and quality of the bands registered. Contracts with the bands will be made through the agency. The Council intends to publicize the University by adding impetus to the correspondence-to-home-town-news- The Council ' s new hangout OCTOBER paper service begun last year. A chairman of the service has been appointed. When and if the service gets out of the experimental stage and proves valuable it will be incorporated by legislative act into the body of permanent Council institutions. Probably the greatest contribution any Council has given the campus is the student forums, begun last year with an imposing array of speakers including Bruce Bliven, Anna Louise Strong, Henry J. Allen, V. F. Calverton, and James F. Yarbusse. Bob Thorpe heads the Council committee on forums this year. Con- tacts already are being made with prominent speakers. Celebrated last year on the campus and in Kansas City was the tenth anniversary of the National Student Federation of America. The student councils of this University were hosts to representatives of almost seventy American colleges and universities. Without question one of the greatest student organizations in the world, the N. S. F. A. and its organization and the part the Men ' s Student Council plays in it bear description. Assembled at Princeton University in 1925 to discuss the question of the entrance of the United States into the World Court, representatives of two hundred and forty-five American colleges and universities founded the N. S. F. A. One of the more recent accomplishments of the organization was the establishment in July. 1935, of the International Student Service. Through the I. S. S. students are familiarized with t he functions of the student bodies in all countries of the world. Travel and information bureaus supply the statistics. Under the supervision of the organization student debaters from the United States have made reciprocal tours of England and other countries. In 1932 the federation took over the management of the Xational Institute of Public Affairs, which was . Hubert Anderson Wi fcom Zupanec (bonder founded by the government. That year, through the efforts of the institute, fifty American college students went to Washington for training courses in the various phases of governmental administration. As a result of intensive surveys of student problems, the N. S. F. A. is prepared to distribute information on student govern- ment, the honor system, cooperative bookstores, and fraternities. Last year at Lincoln was held the first Midwestern College Conference, which parallels the N. S. F. A. in purpose. Representatives from eighteen regional col- leges and universities attended. The University of Kansas was represented by several Council members. This year the meet will be held here and problems peculiar to mid-western schools will be discussed. Locally, the Councils regular functions include the regulation of traffic on the campus, discussion of student problems with the faculty through the Joint Committee on Student Affairs, conducting informal student- faculty gatherings, usually in the form of forums, the adjudication of campus misdemeanors through the student court.

A. may be merely alphabet soup to those who are treading on Oread soil for th e first time. Delicately flavored soup, though, because it is made from a tested recipe which our women predecessors originated twenty-seven years ago to fill a need in the University women ' s self-government diet. It is set before us today; we dip into it, taste it, and like it. Perhaps we add to it a grain of discovery, a sprinkling of experience before we serve it to those after us, but the essential ingredients remain about the same. There is a very competent young woman presiding this year over the broth of women students ' affairs. She is Ruth Learned, and her title is that of President of the V. S. G. A., which in elongated form is the Women ' s Self Governing Association of the Univer- sity of Kansas. A home economics major, she was one of two women elected from this campus to Omi- cron Nu, national home economics sorority, last spring. She has been named on the Dean s honor roll every year that she has been in school. Last year she served as treasurer of both the W. S. G. A. and the Y. W. C. A., and has been active in many clubs on the campus. She will receive her degree next spring. She, as well as the other officers of the V. S. G. A., was chosen at the annual election last March. Every woman student in the University is a member of V. S. G. A., and as such is entitled to a vote in the election. With the exception of the freshman vice- Presidenl Ruth Learned V The W. S. G. A. in session president and secretary, who are chosen by the women of the University in the Fall of the year, all members and officers of the executive council are chosen at the Spring election. Candidates for each office are pre- sented at a series of teas given in the Spring by the W. S. G. A. This executive council and its officers have myriad duties to perform, but at all times keep as their pur- pose the administration of the welfare of the women of the University. To provide entertainment and a meeting place the V. S. G. A. sponsors teas each Wednesday afternoon in the Central Administration Building lounge. They presented their first tea Sep- tember 30 and each successive week partially subsidize teas given by the organized houses and other organi- zations of the University. Here sorority and indepen- dent women intermingle and a spirit of friendliness is promoted. The mid-week varsities, which are so well attended, are practically an institution with the W. S. G. A., which has sponsored them since November, 1918, when they were initiated to raise money for French war orphans and for a donation toward a girls ' cooperative house. The Book Exchange is also another example of the foresightedness of the W. S. G. A. The exchange was established jointly by the W. S. G. A. and the Men ' s Student Council in 1916, and had its quarters in Fraser hall. In 1918 the W. S. G. A. took over the entire administration of the exchange, limiting fees to a 10% operation charge. In 1926 the exchange was moved to Watson Library, and only a few years ago to the basement of the Memorial Union building. It OCTOBER SECOND Row: Field. Smith. Griffin. Tretell. Alberty. Purdy.

One money scholarship and five loan scholarships are awarded each year by the V. S. G. A. to worthy women of the University. Until last year money for these scholarships was raised at an annual V. S. G. A. musical comedy. The carnival idea last winter proved to be so successful that it ill probably supplant the musical comedy as a money-maker for the scholarship fund. In addition to these several points of its program, the V. S. G. A. gives its approval to numerous Hill activities, approves the K Book and the Student Direc- tory. Last year the V. S. G. A. sponsorship of a University women ' s sing was highly successful. To execute its various duties and carry out the policies of its administration the V. S. G. A. presi- dent appoints officers and members of the executive council to serve on one or more committees during the year. The functions of these committees are self- explanatory. On the Social Committee are Carolyn Bailey. Fine Arts representative; Peggy Alberty, freshman secre- tary; Sadie Crommett, Watkins hall vice-president; and Jean Russell. Barbara Pendleton, V. S. G. A. vice-president, heads the Joint Student Affairs Committee, on which Lela Edlin, secretary of the V. S. G. A.; Elizabeth Shearer, treasurer of the V. S. G. A.; and Ruth Learned also serve. Gertrude Field, College representative; Doris Stockwell, sophomore secretary; and Doris Griffin com- pose the Vocational Guidance Committee. The Varsity Dance Committee includes Ruth Arm- strong, senior secretary; Elizabeth Hannah, sophomore vice-president; and Carolyn Bailey. The Committee on License Tags has as members Dorothy Caldwell, junior secretary: Dorothy Trekell. junior vice-president; and Ruth Esther Purdy, senior vice-president. The Union Operating Committee, which has many important problems to meet in connection with the administration of the Memorial Union building, includes in its membership Ruth Learned, Barbara Pendleton, Lela Edlin, and Elizabeth Hannah. Serving on the Budget Committee are Dorothy Jane YVillcutts, freshman vice-president: Elizabeth Shearer, and Ruth Learned. Peggy Alberty, Dorothy Jane Willcutts and Cath erine Holmes, points system manager, compose the freshman Election Committee. Barbara Pendleton. Doris Griffin and Dorothy Caldwell serve on the Registration Committee. The Investigation Committee includes Sadie Crom- mett, Lela Edlin, and Gertrude Field. Ruth Esther Purdy is historian, and Catherine Holmes heads the Constitution Committee. Barbara Pendleto Elizabeth Shearer JAYHAWKER r THE glorious whirl of rush week is now forgotten amid the dust and splintering of paddles the hard-boiled sorority sisters dishing out campuses at random - the sterner realities of books and the possi- bilities of a college education. But now and then comes a slight pause in the everyday routine for a little relaxation and fun. Fun at college!! How often have we all heard that old remark; and fun it is even the torture of a sweat bath suffered at the Opening Varsity and the Chan- cellor s Reception. And say fellow, don ' t think it wasn ' t hot that Monday night on Sept. 14. John Paul, dance mana- ger, certainly packed them in there; and Louie Kuhn did one neat job of playing too. Evidently the boys sandwiched at lot of music between their moments of relaxation this summer at Lake Okoboji. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun even in spite of the heat, and gad, what a drenched feeling it was when twelve o clock came. The following Vednesday, on the eve of a great battle of books, came an All-Student Mixer - one of those free types where there are a few dates and the myriads of stags fight for at least two steps. Red Blackburn s band provided excellent music. And now what happens but the Thetas stumbling all over themselves to be the first to hold open house. They did it, but oh, what a scramble. And of course most of the actives had to leave to pacify their dates who hated sharing them with the common run of college youth. By the time intermission came all that was left was parts of the pledges and a remnant of the old heads. Of these, the two Eidson sisters were finally oriented in the kitchen by a favored set away from the herd and the proceedings went merrily on. T he Forbes sisters, all three, proved popular, with Marie a standout. Then on Saturday the dream of many a freshman, city and country bred, came true as each stood in the presence of the University ' s most distinguished scholar, Chancellor Lindley, and shook his hand. Two hours of dancing played by Louie Kuhn followed, summing up the freshmen ' s first week. Books then it was, until Wednesday, when blind dates became the vogue once again, and we all moved By THE SPOKESMAN 1 OCTOBER into the Union building for one of those mid-weeks. Literally, it seemed as if everyone did move in for an hour. Blackburn again took up the baton on this occa- sion and how well was that Bugle Call Rag received! The drummer, in a little bit of Benny Good- manizing, had everyone including himself agoin . Friday night, September 25, proved to be the scene of many events. The Haskell gridsters were invaded by the Ottawa Braves in a gridiron battle which saw the Braves drooping home, the victims of a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Indians. Jack Richardson, who forsook all social events at that time, returned to the Sigma Chi house long enough to renounce any remain- ing allegiance for his old Alma Mater and again put on his dancing shoes. For on this same night, the Gamma Phis and the Chi Omegas were having their own little battle not on the sod, but in the form of open houses. Neither goal line was crossed, however, although both sides lost when some intruder entered the second floor sanctuaries of both, leaving behind a host of empty purses. Red Blackburn, playing at the Chi house puts in a word for Marie Stevens as the Hill ' s most beautiful girl. He really should know, since he has been in and out of each house for at least seven years. It might be a good thing to remind Elmer Humphrey he claims allegiance to Phi Gamma Delta that he was present at both functions, although he might be in some doubt about it. The following day, September 26, a proposed foot- ball game between Ad Lindsey s Varsity and Bill Hargiss ' frosh was postponed when it was learned by Dr. Phog Allen that six members of the varsity team could not swim and without them there could be no football team; and without a football team how- would the stadium ever be paid for? The downpour was con- ducive to hard study, so all the Pi Phi pledges were herded to the library and nobody got anything done. On the evening of this same day, the Alpha Chis and the A. O. Pis opened their arms to the boys, the Relaxation u ilh the Gamma Phis The C u Omegas open the aoors Chi girls getting a slight edge with a WREN and NBC hookup at the Union building. Red Blackburn at the microphone. The only shadow on the evening was the fainting of a fair Alpha Chi damsel at the end of the Bugle Call Rag and Mrs. Butler ' s abrupt halting of the evening s frolic in the middle of the gals ' sorority song, all because it was two minutes after twelve. Wednesday, September 50, was another hour of fun and frolic for freshmen and other people who like crowds. Friday ' s free Varsity, the Kappa open house, set a new high for attendance at the Memorial Union. The decorations did look rather nice, with Kappa ' s key in blue lights hanging over the orchestra where presided Blackburn and his band, in front of which in turn were displayed microphones symbolizing WREN and NBC. Olive Adele Krehbiel, president of the organi- zation, which by the way is a national sorority, made a pretty little speech out over the ether to the effect that ... we are having a lovely time, wish all the rest of the Kappas could be here enjoying it with us . . . Of course there is no telling where any more KKGs could have been put, since the accommodations were fairly well taken up with the student body; how- ever, it was a nice thought ... as is Bill Gill and accomplices ' taking advantage of Bill Cochrane during the evening by nimble-footing out of the Fountain loaded down with candy bars . . . his actions can well be excused, for he fed them, one by one, to Mary K. Latt- ner. Girl Athlete Vonder . . . Twenty-four reasons for the two intermissions: 1 the band was tired. 25 the girls all wanted to leave anyway. On the next, the third day of October, the football- ing Jayhawkers sent the Washburn Icabods back to Topeka in defeat, 19-6. On this same evening, the Capital City socialites turned in a victory and a mar- velous exhibition (if you like the type) of dancing, if you will, at John Paul ' s second Varsity. Whether or (ContiniKxi on Page 77) OCTOBER TRACK PROSPECTS LDDK UP Although the Jayhawkers ' showing for 1936 was not of the brightest, every indication is for improvement this year By HARLAN SHORES Coach Bifl Hargiss THE home of the famous Kansas Relays, our own stadium track, has been torn by the spikes of count- less track heroes. Many of these have been Kansas found and developed. Most outstanding among these have been the world acclaimed tracksters, Jim Bausch and Glenn Cunningham. Considering the pride that we hold for the men who take the reflection of crimson and blue into inter- national contests, we take too little interest in our track squad. A Bausch is not found every year, and a Cunningham is not a season ' s product. Coach Bill Hargiss gathers his potential crop of track men each year and develops them, through long, patient hours of constant training, until this potential power has been exploited to its fullest. Hargiss. who coached track at Emporia State Teachers ' College before he came to Kansas, has developed many oustanding stars, including John Kuck, the winner of an Olympic title in the shot put a few years back. The Kansas track team has experienced a consid- erable slump in the years that the present seniors remember, but immediately before that time Kansas had its share of championship titles. It is to be antici- pated then, that Kansas track aspirants will again demand the support of the school and become as famous for their teams as they are for their indi- vidual honors. Kansas started the indoor campaign rather igno- miniously last year when Nebraska swamped them 80-2 5 to 25-1 3. Shannon of Kansas won the lone victory for his team in the high jump. However, in spite of this defeat, they embarked for the Big Six indoor championships at Columbia with some hope. Charles Pitts and AI Wellhausen were ready to defend the titles they won in 35 in the broad jump and the high jump. Disappointment was in store for them, however, when Nebraska took the meet and Kansas finished last with six points. Shannon and Cox tied for second in the high jump and Pitts took third in the broad jump. Some solace was found for this dismal showing in the fact that many sophomore stars were not avail- able and equipment was not adequate for indoor training. Outdoor prospects were brighter. The squad was able to work out under excellent weather condi- tions and the track was in fine shape. Charley Pitts, versatile star, seemed to stand a good chance of placing high in the Kansas Relays decathlon event. The Kansas team opened its outdoor campaign in the Texas Relays. Ten records fell before the onslaught of national figures. The Texas Relay team broke the world record in the half mile relay by two- tenths of a second in, 1:25.6. K. U. ' s sprint relay team of Hardacre. Richardson, Pitts, and Foy placed second.

Harry O Riley, University contrioution. to tne political arena, discusses Alf. Landon s chances in tne election Governor Alf. M. Landon EVERY student, alumnus, and member of the Uni- versity should have a feeling of manifest pride toward one of the University ' s alumni who may become President of the United States. This alumnus, Governor Alf. M. Landon of Kansas, began his career as a leader among men while enrolled in the law school of the University. The governor ' s budget balancing began when he was president of his college fraternity and his financial equipoise was continued during his two terms as governor of Kansas, creating such a sensation throughout the country that he was universally regarded as the man to carry the Repub- lican standard into the presidency in 1936. The list of outstanding personalities connected with the University does not cease with a capitulation of graduates who have become national figures, for sons and daughters of three men high up in the Republican party are atttending school here at the present time. Governor Landon ' s daughter, Peggy Anne, is a junior in the University, Miss Mary Jane Haynes, daughter of Lacey Haynes, pioneer in the Landon for Presi- dent campaign, is also a junior, while Dan Hamil- ton, son of John Hamilton, Republican national chair- man, enrolled this fall as a freshman. Alf. Landon is very much concerned with the future offered the youth of this nation today. It is the gov- ernor ' s wish that the college man and woman look at the coming election as something more than a struggle over the usual partisan issues. He feels that the issues to be considered in this year ' s election instead con- cern the kind of government and the kind of country we are to have in the years to come. The Kansas governor firmly believes that the col- lege graduates and the youth of today are among the saddest victims of the depression. Of the young voters of the United States he says, For these young people it is not sufficient merely to provide food and clothing. We must do more. We must convince them that our economic system still is capable of giving them work at full pay. Ve must maintain their faith in the eter- nal value of human liberty. Landon has faith in the future of new inventions for making openings for the college man and woman. He firmly believes that all college men and women and young voters of today can, if they will give their services, keep America on the upgrade, eliminate unem- ployment, and help the government enforce rules governing business but not attempt to dictate busi- ness policies. In a word, it is up to them to bring America once again to the place where they will have confidence in its future. Figures of the American Institute of Public Opinion say that in March, 1935, Landon was presidential choice of 2.8 per cent of the Republican voters can- vassed. By last December this figure had risen to 33 per cent. By February it was 43 per cent. By April it was 56 per cent. Today the governor has the unani- mous support of the Republican party. Probably never before has anyone skyrocketed into a presidential nom- ination so quickly, and arrived with so little known about him by the general public. (Continued on Page 68) K. U.

JAYHAWKER THE OPENING VARSITY , Keith Swinehart, who never misses, gives a play-oy-play description of the social season ' s autumn preview LIGHTED up anew after a long summer of dark- ness, the Union Ballroom again shines out its welcome. The lounge is filled once more as neophytes and veterans of past years varsity fame drop into easy chairs or peer around anything to pass away time while dates linger on and on in the dressing room. A trifle early to dance, so down the steps to the newly redecorated fountain. Time passes upstairs the band blares forth as we arrive the floor is a solid mass of humanity, gliding, bumping, pushing, and the opening varsity is under way. Summer ' s soaring temperatures just can ' t be kind to the dance hungry mob each in his best to make those first big impressions. Indeed Mercury soars higher, if possible, testing the endurance of a herd that dares to venture onto the ballroom floor. Tonight, Fate is not kind and plays no favorites. Perspiration stands out on beauty as well as beast one shirt is as damp as Louie Kuhn ' s land swings for the dancers at the first varsity. another one brow moist as the next powder cakes noses shine. Louie Kuhn is playing bigger and better, too, he is, the assumption seems prevalent throughout the crowd. Stags press in on the dancers freshmen are eager to see what it ' s all about. An opportunity pre- sents itself to show off those new steps acquired during the course of the summer no, too much crowd. VeII, at least a chance to kindle some new flame, destined you hope to outlast last year ' s forgotten romance. Now and then a familiar face appears and you stop and chat a little, noting this, that, and the other.

And the Kansas cheerleaders ' problem is harder than it appears By PAUL MORITZ ONCE again the mighty Rock Chalk is resounding over the Hill. Once again its rhythmic chant, the sound of which has rung across so many hills, is spurring on to action Kan- sas teams. And once again aspiring optimists have I vied for the doubtful honor of wringing from the Kan- sas student body a measure of enthusiasm -worthy of these teams. Despite the fact that for years alumni of Kansas have deplored the lack of cheering by Kansas fans, a large group of candidates were on hand when the Pep Committee held its annual tryouts for cheer- Bill Townsley leaders. In contrast to former years, these tryouts were held on the second floor of Fraser Hall rather than in the stadium. (Inclement weather might be advanced as a reason for this change, but undoubtedly the committee felt that the cheerleaders deserved at least one situation in which it seemed they were shaking the walls. And, too, they ' d be introduced to a vast and silent stadium soon enough.) Eighteen gyrating candidates paraded before the committee composed of: the president of the V. S. G. A.; president of the Men s Student Council; Chief Sachem; president of Mortar Board; president of the Ku Kus; president of the Jay Janes; and president of the K Club. John Milton Phillips directed activities during the tryouts and selection. The race for head cheerleader developed into a battle between George Paris and Bill Townsley, junior leaders of last year. As both were experienced the competition was keen, but the judges unanimously selected the latter. Townsley, small and dynamic, worked smoothly and efficiently. Having had a year ' s experience before the Kansas student section, he is well aware of the diffi- culties he faces, and gives promise of real accomplish- ment before the year is over. Tolerance and good nature are prime requisites of Kansas cheerleaders, and Townsley ' s easy smile and engaging personality stamp him as a worthy successor to Clyde Nichols, last year ' s head cheerleader. As assistants in his persuasive endeavors Townsley will have Frank Warren and Hazlett Steiger, of the junior class. Both boys worked rhythmically, and, though inexperienced, displayed the good nature neces- sary to the successful execution of the job. This trio should be able to draw from the crowd such cheers as would make the alumni weep for joy instead of rage as they have in the past. However they will not bear the entire burden, as this year a new policy will be followed. Two or three of the freshmen and sophomore cheerleaders will be given a chance to appear at each of the football games. They will perform before the regular student section and the alumni section on the west side of the field. One of them will probably be stationed near the Rock Chalk juniors who occupy the northeast part of the stadium. The experience thus gained is designed to fit them for the positions of junior and senior cheerleaders. Three sophomores. Bill Grant, Chet Mize, and Jack Nesley, and four freshmen, Stewart Jones, Bob Fanner, Townsley Vorrea Bill Bright, and Bill Vaugh comprise the group of underclassmen selected by the committee. Though seemingly ill at ease and lacking the experience of the ' big three, they display plenty of promise and un- doubtedly will produce some real leaders for the future. Hope springs eternal . . . and with such an array of talent to lead the reluctant Kansas rooters it is not too much to suppose that the slight improvement in cheering and enthusiasm noted last year will be increased, and once more the famous Rock Chalk will shake the stadium walls. JAYHAWKER A student finds that those profs aren t as oaa as reported; they are quite human and intensely interesting WHAT an assignment! Just think of seeing those profs and trying to get something interesting out of them. I ve heard all of their jokes either per- sonally or by proxy. And who II read this dull article. The pictures of the faculty that I ve seen are enough to scare away any student who isn t psyco-neurotic or insane or something. But the space has to be filled and I ' m the unlucky fellow who got the cursed story. Let me think . I went to Vest Point last summer and I found an old friend there. Anyway, I ' m in the ROTC and I might do a bit of polishing somehow. It ' s worth a try anyway. I climbed up the tortuous stairs to the office of the new PMS T, Lt. Col. K. F. Baldwin. Then I was at a loss to know what to do. Should I snap to attention to show him what a good soldierl might have been? An old West Point custom came irrevelantly to my mind - to stick out your chest so far that you can support a slice of bread upon it. His cordial greet- ing interrupted my train of thought. As we talked, I examined him closely. His white hair was closely cropped and the front part of it stood stiffly at atten- tion. His twinkling eyes were a good match to his laughing mouth which showed capabilities of being severely stern. His posture was everything that could be expected fine even for a military man. The only sign of age was his white hair, for he merely seemed like a middle-aged athlete. I told him of my errand. He referred me to some other reports that had been made. I insisted that I wanted to be different, so he laughed, Tell them that I m a corn-fed son of the Golden Vest. Personal experience ought to be good for anyone, so I questioned him on that score. He reminded me that some of those were the kind that he liked to for- get. But he went on, modestly, to explain about a Japanese that he had known. I was seated at a dinner next to a Japanese. Strangely enough this man was crying. Now the Japs are a very reserved and restrained people. They will not cry even over the death of their own children. When I asked him what the trouble was, he replied that his American mother had died. He had gone to a college in America and had lived with a family of Americans. They had done everything for him. And the wife of this household was his American mother. He related another story about a Japanese officer who had drowned at the sinking of the Vestius. He PROMINENT is a masterful and wonderful narrator and his wide experience gives him an excellent background. He would be the life of any conversation of reminiscences and beauty. His manner of speaking was swift and concise but he lingered enough on the details of his stories to force them deeply into my mind. He made me feel as if I were in Japan trying to keep warm in a paper house whose main supply of heat was a bath- tub filled with hot water, or gazing on ' a spring day at the subdued beauty of the cherry tree blossoms on the mountain side. Lt. Col. Baldwin has three sons and no daughters, but nevertheless Baldy is very much in favor of girls. One son is married, one is a cadet at West Point and the other is a senior in high school. He said that he would like to have some little children about him again. Maybe his dream has been realized now that his mailing address has been changed to Lawrence. People say that his real hobby is hard work but he insists that golfing frequently and horseback riding three times a year keeps the waistline down. Now Prof. Kent is an interesting cuss. Vhen I went to see him he was sitting on the window sill talking with a couple of students. I asked him if he was busy and finding him not so I told him what I wanted. His first remark was, Well, I was born in 1836. Like all great physicists Prof. Kent began his career with an invention. As a boy he invented a device to pile up pie tins. The tins were inserted carefully and right side up in the machine one by one and then they were carried up and placed at the top of the pile. He couldn t quite understand why his parents laughed at the wonderful thing that he had constructed. He went to the University of Iowa for his educa- tion. There he must have picked up a great affection Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes OCTOBER PROFESSORS LJ. Co . K. for bow ties, for at present most of his favorite outfits include one. I played football wben I was in col- lege. One day I broke my arm while I was playing with the scrubs. So I went to town and bought a clip tie. Then I went to see my girl. I was in all my glory I had given my all for the good of the school and I had a new tie. Although I didn ' l notice it, my tie had come undipped be- fore I reached the girl ' s house. When the girl saw me she exclaimed, ' You darn fool! ' That was embarrass- ing, you know. He liked school very much except that he always had to spend money for useless things: tuition, fees, books, and board and room. Kent ' s teaching began even before he graduated. But after graduation he advanced by leaps and bounds. In no time at all he was giving all of the physics lectures at the University of Iowa. He projected pictures on a screen while another man talked about them. (This is his own way of saying it.) He has continued his original career up to the present time. He has been teaching at the Uni- versity of Kansas for 15 years. But during all of his life has had but one ambition, and that is to run a steam shovel. I asked him what his political inclinations were. At first he said that he was a radical and agin govern- ment. After a few moments though he changed his view to become a champion of the losing side. He explained that he probably inherited his feeling from his father. His father voted the Democratic ticket until the election of Grover Cleveland then he voted Republican. In 1952 he cast his vote for Hoover. Mr. Kent explained that he always knew just who was going to be elected by the way his father voted. I cautiously inquired about the grade your prof program. He replied that he didn ' t believe muc h in it. It reminded him of a psychological examination that the faculty had taken. One of the questions was. By STANLEY MARIETTA Whom do you like to play with? He related that one exam came in with the answer: Ernie Lindley, and was signed by Frankie Hodder. The favorite sport of the physics prof is football. As I was leaving he mentioned the fact that Duke D ' Ambra had taken his picture. I suggested that he should have had a football in his hands at the time. He immediately assumed a pose of a back who was ready to go to kingdom come and vowed that the next time his picture was taken he would have a football in his hands. Suppressing my desire to address Miss Hoopes with How am I doing? I greeted her in the conventional manner. She had asked me to come to her home and the first things that I noticed upon entering were the shelves of books lining nearly every wal l. She told me that she liked to go into secondhand book stores and to see what she could find. She does not like the clean book store, but prefers the old-fashioned kind with a musty keeper. It is the spirit of adventure that prompts her to delve in these stores. Miss Hoopes spent most of her undergraduate days at the University of Kansas. She was present at a time of expansion at the University. She was one of the first women reporters on the Kansan staff and organ- ized many of our present societies: the teacher s honor- ary society, for which she was the first national president; Quill Club: a social sorority: dramatic leagues, and many other organizations. Miss Hoopes has an interesting philosophy. She claims that the indifferent person, the one who lets the world ask him to do things, will find that the world will come to him. She says that no one has any ambi- (ConlinueJ on Page 81 ) Professor C. V. Kenf JAYHAWKER GIRL W. V.A. The Kappas and Watkins Hall lead as scores for 1936 are compiled By FRANCES WARE THE Kappa ' s turned their golden key once more for the third and decisive time to win the cham- pionship cup in women ' s intramurals of last year for their own. Watkins Hall, led by D. J. VilIcutts, cap- tured the largest number of cups awarded at the V. A. A. Pow Wow, held annually at the beginning of each year. This meeting also demonstrates to the new girls, and revives the interest of the old, in all of the activities offered by the Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. This association, under the capable management of the director of women ' s physical education, Miss Ruth Hoover, plans the activities for the entire year. With the help of Ruth Elaine Worley, president of W. A. A., and the various sport managers, the games are arranged at suitable times, where all university women compete with friendly rivalry for the various awards and honors. The major sports offered are volley ball, hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, and swimming. Each, with the exception of swimming, is played in season, with practice hours and instructions arranged before compe- tition begins. The minor activities are horseshoes, ping- pong, basketball throw, deck tennis, and hand ball. Each girl is given a certain number of points for each sport in which she participates. These records are care- fully checked, for one hundred and twenty-five points, in addition to passing grades, are required to gain admission into this sport club. The number of points may be greatly increased if one is good enough to be chosen as a member of a class team, at the close of each sports season. ' Kappa Kappa Gamma, 1936 Champions At the annual pow wow Dancing, although not a sport as the others might be defined, is however closely connected with them. Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, is supervisor of this activity. The honor here, whether one be interested in toe, tap, or interpretative dancing, is to be elected into Tau Sigma, national honorary dancing organization. Mary Ellen Miller is this year ' s president, and under her leadership the organization will present its annual recital next spring for the public. This is without doubt one of the outstanding events in women ' s sports to be presented during the year. Two other organizations in which membership is coveted is the Quack Club, women ' s swimming organi- zation, and the rifle team. Members of both of these are chosen for their skill and ability. They compete during the year with other universities of the same size in telegraphic meets. AH of these athletes take time out to relax now and then. Picnics are held during the year, and in the spring the annual banquet is given. The letters, numerals, and jackets won during the year are presented. And, looking into the future, each spring the members sponsor a Play Day, for future W. A. A. members who are still in high school. The program for this day is carefully planned and worked out, for they realize the importance of participation in these things in developing healthy, and so-called, all-around girls. So under this careful supervision and planning, another successful year is predicted for the NVomen ' s Athletic Association. Who knows perhaps another Eleanor Powell, Helen Wills, Helen Stephens, or Eleanor Holm may appear? And if not, who cares? It ' s fun, it ' s healthy, it ' s friend-making, and, best of all clean sport. OCTOBER . , , MEN ' S INTRAMURALS The addition of six-man football gives the intramural program more popularity MEN ' S intramurals, a division of the athletic side of the University which has been popularized to a great extent in recent years, promises to provide more thrills and genuine enjoyment this year than ever before. More students have expressed desire to par- ticipate in these athletic contests between groups of University men than in the previous history of the department. Perhaps the increased enrollment is in a large measure responsible for this fact, but it also indi- cates that the students realize that intramurals are a good thing. The six-man touch football team is an innovation this year. Ed Elbel, director of intramural athletics, has introduced the idea in an effort to give the smaller organized houses an equal chance to participate in the football games. If this new idea proves successful, it will probably be continued in future years. These six-man teams have been divided into two categories. Those teams which are entered by organized houses which have entered eleven-man teams are designated as Class B teams. Groups representing houses which have no full-sized team will be in a division by themselves and will play for the six-man championship. Eight teams are entered in the class B group and there are six teams in the other division. Twenty-four class A touch football teams have been entered this year. The eleven-man team has been designated as class A to avoid confusion with the smaller teams. The fact that the number of teams entered exceeds by three the number which participated Tennis, a popular sport in faff anj spring By JOE COCHRANE last year promises a number of closely-fought games which will be interesting to watch. Last year Phi Gamma Delta won the championship of the football division by defeating Sigma Alpha Epsilon by a score of 2-0 in a game played as a part of the homecoming celebration. Although it was a rather slow game with few spectacular plays, the supremacy of the Phi Gams was evident throughout the contest. This year the 1955 champions show promise of having a stronger team than ever, with most of the members of last year ' s team back and some good men in the pledge class. That this is not idle talk was proved when the champs soundly trounced the Boilermakers in their first game by a 20-0 score. Other teams to watch this year include the last year s runners-up. the Sig Alphs, the Betas, and the Sigma Chis. All these teams looked strong in their first games. There is another side to these intramurals other than that of the organizations. This is the open intra- murals. Open intramurals are those which are partici- pated in by men who do not live in any sort of organized house and who register at the Intramural Office their desire to take part. At an early date, over fifty men were registered. This number is a new 7 record and most of the men have expressed a wish to take part in touch football. These men will be placed in six- man teams and will play for their own championship. (Continued 1 on Page 8 An exciting moment in a toucn football game JAYHAWKER UNIVERSITY EXECUTORS , , by BILL GILL Raymond Nichols Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Tennyson. A BLUNDER, a misunderstood command, sent almost six hundred men to their death. Faulty leadership, incompetent officials think of the chaos caused by them. We students of the University can be thankful that we are safe from the chaos, safe from conflicting and confusing arrangements, safe from mix-ups in registration and enrollment. And why this security? Because here at the University we are fortu- nate in having a group of men, who we might term The Big Shots, to guide us through the maelstrom of events that confront us each day of registration, enrollment, and throughout the entire year. It is rather hard to decide just where to start in to tell something about these men, for each in his field is, by applying an Americanism, tops. So choosing at random we start with: In the ' 90 ' s, George O. Foster came to the Univer- sity. For several years he worked as a clerk under Dr. F. H. Snow. In 1897 he enrolled in the University as a freshman and at the same time was promoted to the position of registrar, a position which he has kept under four chancellors. He received his degree in 1901 and, unable to shake himself loose from the bed rock of the Hill, has been head keeper of the records ever since. Vhen Mr. Foster came to the University there were only four buildings on the campus; now there are more than thirty, including those of Rosedale Medical School. There were 434 students and a faculty of 36: today there are about 4,700 students enrolled in the University and the faculty numbers around three hundred and fifty. Mr. Foster ' s cheery welcome confirms the Come In sign on his office door, and his ever-ready sym- pathy and unfailing desire to help makes him one of the most popular members of the University staff. A great many students, especially those entering the University for the first time, carry their problems to Mr. Foster, and each goes away impressed by the Registrar s good-natured assistance and full cooperation. Very proud, indeed, is Mr. Foster of the voluminous files of records of the University which be has filled during his nearly forty years of service. The earliest entries do not include much more than the years of attendance and the courses in which the students enrolled, but the records show the same painstaking interest in the preservation of the University ' s history which the genial Registrar exhibits today. In 1875 he inscribed the name of William E. Borah, now a famous statesman, on the rolls as a freshman. Twelve years later William Allen White entered the Univer- sity, and these entries are among Mr. Foster ' s most treasured possessions, along with the histories of the school careers of many other students since risen to places of prominence in the business and political world. What is the old adage about Put out your hand and your money will be taken from it? That is the relationship that Bursar Karl KIooz and his helpers Karl Klooz OCTOBER , have with the students. All the receipts of the Uni- versity, including fees, student organization accounts, loan funds and scholarships, and athletic association accounts are handled through his office. Three quar- ters of a million dollars flow into (and out of again) the University coffers each year. The bursar has charge of all appropriations, composing about seventy-five per cent of the budget, the remaining twenty-five per cent corning from tuition and fees. Mr. KIooz has been fingering the sheckels for the University since 1912, with the exception of 1916 and 1917. He signs his name to twenty-five or thirty thousand letters, orders, and checks each year. He also serves as a member of the residence committee, which must pass on the petitions of those students wishing to avoid payment of out-of-state fees. If you have ever served as treasurer of some Hill organization, or if you have attended a Varsity, or if you have ever done anything concerning the Univer- sity wherein your gold has slid from your palm, then you have run into Mac, you have been accosted by Charlie McCreight. Mac is one of Mr. KIooz ' assist- ants. He serves as treasurer of all student activity and organization accounts. Journey out to the golf course some bright afternoon, look for a lanky guy whiffing one or two, and marking them down on his score card, you can bet your botton dollar that it is Mac. out getting his exercise. Mac handles a large portion of the money that flows through the University ' business office in his capacity of treasurer of student organizations, and probably deals personally with more students than does any other member of the business staff. It is Mac whom officers of clubs, governing organiza- tions, publications, and a variety of other groups must consult when contemplating any change of polio-, and he is always ready to give his advice and help on any problem, large or small. Chores McCnigk George O- Foster Phi Beta Kappa, Honor Man in 1927. Owl Society, Sachem, editor of the Jayhawker, editor of the Kansan. A. M. ' 26, M. A. ' 28, all thrown together and mixed with a nice personality as well as looks brings forth Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor. If there is anything you want to know concerning the University that no other person knows, ask Ray Nichols. He belongs to practically every committee that is existent on the campus, including the com- mittees on Freshman Initiation, Activities, Convoca- tions, Dad s Day, and the Jayhawker Advisory Board. He is the ' front of the Chancellor ' s office. Many times you will have business in that section of the Ad build- ing and will have your affairs handled swiftly and efficiently without ever seeing the Chancellor. That is where Ray Nichols does his work. His contacts with the students occur regularly throughout the year. Seldom is there a long line wait- ing. Each student as he presents his business is exposed to the Nichols mannerisms and goes away looking forward to the time when he may again visit the Chancellor ' s office. Volumes more could be written about the work of these Big Shots, about the enormous value of their functions to the life of each University student, about the friendliness and the fairness of their rela- tions with us. And, too, there are many more Univer- sity employees whose work is never exploited, the unsung heroes in our midst, whose day by day execution of their work is invaluable to the proper function of the school. However, space does not permit even the listing of their names, but it is only fitting for the University students to be reminded that with- out them we would indeed be plunged into chaos, that without the smooth-working mechanism that is the University s business staff our life here would be far from the joy it is. JAYHAWKER CHANCELLOR ' S RECEPTION Trie annual affair assumes greater importance Dr. Ljindley greets new arrivals IT S an annual event. It s happened for a good many years now and in all probability will continue to happen for a good many more years to come. So why not pack up your grips and admit that it ' s pretty swell after all? (Just a bit of advice for next year, of course). Naturally, it was infernally hot, as chancellor ' s recep- tions invariably will be, but in the same breath let us say that the reception can hardly be held accountable for the weather. Immunity to such trifles should be one of our most highly prized virtues by now, anyhow. The mere fact that you shook hands with the chancellor is compensation enough to offset completely these minor details of irritation. Might even be worth a letter home, no? As for the reception itself, it just about took Holmes and his man Vatson to lead your correspondent to the well concealed entrance. As per custom, the front door was firmly shackled, so after displaying a won- drous amount of patience and persistence, we finally located the port of entry at the side of the Union build- ing. After gaining admittance, we were rather improperly and hurriedly ushered along with the rest of the throng to a table in the cafeteria where each person received a tag bearing his name. Incidentally, the length of one s name bore an exceedingly close relationship to the length of his stay at this table. K. U. upheld her one absolutely unbreakable tradition here a long, long line. But this line business was hardly under way at that point. The seemingly endless stream twisted its linger- ing way from the cafeteria through the lounge to its final objective .... the reception line. The members of By FRED LITTOOY this latter group were magnificently spruced up, to say the least, and the warm smiles and the hearty hand- shakes were well worth the waiting. If you are just a bit dubious as to the importance of this annual social function, let us stifle your doubts on the subject. True, it is merely a college affair, and yet it is of sufficient import to be broadcast over the NBC network through the local station. VhiIe everyone was meeting everyone else and his sister, in the lounge, several members of the faculty gave utterance to brief speeches for the benefit of the radio audience. The orchestra managed to get in on the big time later in the evening when it also had a chance to air its melo- dies through the ether waves, so everyone was satisfied. At last the long line (yes, another one) strung along the steps to the dance floor was rewarded when Louis Kuhn and company commenced musical operations (and very harmonious operations they were). Crowded, hot and sultry though it may have been, it ended all too soon for a great majority of the dancers ... or should we say night football enthusiasts? Opinions on the evening s entertainment were varied and sundry, ranging all the way from good to bad and back again. To list a few: Betty Ruth Smith You can term varsities ' And sudden death ' . Helen Rhoda Hoopes I think it ' s swell. Mr. Jen- kins and I enjoyed the dancing very much. Bob Thorpe ' Twas a deep, dark and awfully hot night. And you may take it for what you will . . . with or without the proverbial grain of salt. When the end did come, the sweltering populace beat a hasty retreat to the nearest exits. Damp hand- kerchiefs were very much in evidence and harried expressions were prevalent as stranded dates tried to make proper connections quite a feat in the milling crowd. But the connections were made and the exits were reached, so that in a remarkably short time another Chancellor ' s Reception was history. Reflections? Well, let ' s just be brief about it with the closing remark . . . and a good time was had by all! OCTOBER (T V TERE it not for the ridiculous antics of its VV self-styled politicians representing at best a poor carry-over from rah-rah college days K. U. would well deserve the title of being an extremely free- thinking, serious-minded institution. These words, uttered by an Eastern man after a year of graduate vork on this campus, embody a criticism which is certain to be repeated a good many times during the coming months. In past years the same complaint has come from the Kansan, which several years ago denounced campus politics as a most worthless expen- diture of energy and referred to the current campaign as a tempest in a teapot ; from countless representa- tives of vox populi who have written innumerable campus opinions on the subject; and even from the more liberal campus publications, which, while con- demning the set-up of the universe in general, have been able to devote a few specific remarks to the repre- hensible nature of campus politics. That there is a certain amount of justice in their criticism cannot be denied, for our campus certainly is politics-conscious. In contrast with the interest evinced in our campaigns, many other schools have either abolished class offices or have allowed interest to slump to a point comparable to that at Chicago University where last year only 216 students voted in for past and present policy. Unless the practice of campus politics offers advantages which justify the expenditures of energy and money necessary to further it. and unless it can show some reason behind the antics of the politicians, its existence upon this campus is indeed to be condemned. It remains for us to see whether such justification is present. Campus politics afford an unequalled opportunity for making acquaintances among the student body. Fortunately the political cleavage at K. U. is not along fraternity and non-fraternity lines, as is the case at so many schools. The result of this is that the fraternity men of both parties are enabled to enlarge their circle of friends outside of fraternity walls, while the non- fraternity man receives an en re into fraternity circles which otherwise would be entirely lacking. A campaign is educating as well as edifying, both to the candidates and to the electorate. Xo K. U. student can live through a campaign and remain unaware of the fact that he possesses a vote and that it is his civic duty to utilize it. The use of his vote brings him into contact with the election laws and regulations of the State of Kansas, for these are followed in all Hill elec- tions. In addition he familiarizes himself with certain innovations such as the system of proportional repre- sentation now in effect. A candidate learns much IN DEFENSE DF PEANUT POLITICS the student council election. Certainly it is no secret that the majority of the offices filled in our annual elections are mere dummy positions, the holding ol which call for nothing other than the possession of a profile sufficient to brighten the pages of the Jay- hawker. Similarly many of the functions carried on by the student councils could just as easily be handled by administrative agencies possibly with less fuss and a good deal more efficiency. In view of this, critics certainly have the right to question a system which makes heavy demands on the time and energy of the candidate, which disturbs students whose only con- nection with politics is through possession of a vote, and which calls for the expenditure of several hundred dollars on the part of the University and the political parties all in order to elect officers whose duties are often both negligible and questionable. There is also a certain pathetic humor about the politician who takes his politics too seriously; there is even more of humor in the frenzied activities of the campaigner who rushes from boarding house to board- ing house pumping hands, mispronouncing names, and preaching the gospel of his party. There is much to be deplored in a system which litters the campus with handbills either containing crude attacks upon opposi- tion personalities and policies or vague rationalizations through the contacts and situations met while cam- paigning. A certain ease in meeting people and a cer- tain fluidity of speech must soon be acquired if the life of the candidate is to be free from endless embar- rassments. Moreover if elected, his opportunities for edu cation are greatly enlarged. The conduct of meet- ings broadens his knowledge of parliamentary pro- cedure; committee assignments, routine details, and other services acquaint him with administrative prob- lems and with the methods to be employed in working with other people. Lastly, campus politics inject life into campus routine. The importance of this will doubtless be denied by many, but certain it is that some demonstration of that which is loosely termed school spirit is essential in even ' school. Politics at K. U. furnishes a major means of outlet for this spirit. Politics serves to draw together students who but for common political inter- ests might never be united to make the University a unit instead of an aggregation of individuals. Participation in politics, either actively or passively, is of course a matter to be decided on a personal basis, but speaking generally the advantages afforded by participation in our system of campus politics seem greatly to over- shadow the disadvantages incidental to such activity. Bv DEAN MOORHEAD JAYHAWKER CAMPUS PDLYLDGIA H -MMM. A new correspondent this year and I really wonder if we have the right idea on just what this polylogia business is all about, but as long as some- one snoops around and says nasty things about people ye editor is satisfied, and besides look at all the publicity youse guys and gals get. But let ' s get started off right and give the low-down on the Pi Phi lodge and some of their smarter pledges. It wasn ' t enough to have little Miss Hoffman bringing rubbing alcohol from the city instead of the real McCoy, when called upon by some of her better sisters, but she had to go a little farther she now is helping to teach the new fledglings tricks to play on the actives. These tricks include placing buckets of water above doors to drown their unsuspecting elders, putting various assortments of objects in beds, and hanging under- garments on a clothesline placed on second floor hall, etc., etc. Maybe just a bit childish, but what the hell, ain ' t we all in collitch? This Kiley-Kennedy mess has got me all a-jitter. First it s one denying things said about the other and then the other turns around and makes cracks right back. Really, kids, why don ' t you all get together? Thirty good minutes a day are spent in arguing and then after it s all over, what have you got? Here ' s the dope, just have one date a week-end and maybe a couple during the week (excepting Tuesday night when XODU meets) and then you vill all be together enough to keep track of one another. Then by the time school is over, you can run out and find that cozy cottage and get married and life will begin. My Gad, I should start a lovelorn column.

Tuesday, October 6 was the red-letter day for the boys because the girls felt so sorry for them they decided a buffet dinner and dance would be so nice and heal the wounded feelings. A rule was passed making all the girls remain at home until eight o ' clock so things would look a little better. The D. U.s walkout punishment carried the boys to the front of the Chi Omega house for a little clothes putting onning, if you get what I mean. For the last stage of their playful six o ' clock spree, the b oys ran in the nude (with the addition of shorts to the front of the Chi O house where they had a small race to see just who was the fastest dresser.

Seems as though Charlie McGhee of the Delt lodge had a date with Betty Ann Yankee over Gower way, and went merrily over to make the first impression. Yankee, not being able to make her appearance persuaded Laura Lane Lattner to keep the date for her. Laura Jane came down and Charlie, not knowing the arrangement, thought he was out with Yankee. A very enjoyable eve was spent and several more dates were arranged. The whole situation was sort of a mix-up and now Laura Jane can ' t figure out just how she is going to tell Mr. McGhee that she really isn ' t Betty Ann. The entire Kappa house spent several evenings suggesting ways and means to make the incident known with- out spoiling the chances of a beautiful romance, but we believe that the explanation came out the right way, for we see them together considerably now. Heigh-ho, for the life of a sorority gal. After two years the Delta Tau Delta boys found out that they had an outstanding man in their midst. It came out in the registration line with Joe Molinero sign- ing his name Joseph By our MR. PEEPYS Moses Molinero. Same thing happened other at the D. U. house with the Smith H brothers signing up as Roland Cushman L- - McGifford Smith and Norman Ruther- N ford Schofield Smith. Vith a pair of names like that, the brothers should go far. (Far, far away.) The Theta girls are evidently not getting around on Sunday eve or else they are awfully broke. Three houses were called Sunday, October the fifth, looking for prospective males who could afford the price of a meal and take the gals out. Funny how far these femmes will go to take the price of a meal off some of our campus socializers. It should go down as a matter of record that John Milton Phillips, president of the Council, could not make admission to the mid-week Varsi ty, even with the pull of a council office. John tried fair means and foul, but it seems as though he got to the dance after the two-hundred stag limit had been filled. Quoteth John, What the hell ' s the use of having an office if it doesn ' t do you any good? He is now con- sidering obtaining a key to the ele- vator so that at any time he may make his appearance with the proper spirit. The Sig Alphs are all set for a real time for the Manhattan game.

And how, with the blowing of rain against our faces returned the forgotten sights and smells and sounds till we remembered other nights . . . and rains before . . . and were glad of a sudden,and laughed, and raced for thecar, clinging to each other crazify, slipping, sliding, and running, running wild thru tall curved rain?

JAYHAWKER RUMBLINGS FRDM THE MOUNT A competent observer supports Dr. Allen ' s attack upon the Olympic committee By VERNON VOORHEES Director o AtWeftcs Forrest C. Affen BEING one of those simple souls who believe in the everlasting character of the human being, I can well imagine some very venerable old Greeks who are squirming in their grave at the present time, for the Greeks, to whom we owe so very much because of their numerous contributions to our civilization, gave to us the Olympics. Far above the golden valley on a hill known as Mt. Oread we hear the booming voice of a prophet warning the people to forsake the evil tendencies which are gnawing at the vitals of this old contest. Ve may not have thought so much about the admonitions of our own Dr. Phog Allen had not we been subjected to the knowledge that all was not well on the Olympic boat this summer. Ve read of Mrs. Jarrett ' s alleged escapades on the boat and her counter-attack upon her accusers. The high ideals we had built about our great athletic heroes began to tumble and then we heard more rumblings from up Mt. Oread way. First in the newspaper, then the radio, and later on the screen we had presented to us the very dis- concerting picture of the behavior of our American athletics and the subtle nature of those men responsible for our Olympic team. Ve are taught as children that athletic endeavor is fine and clean and manly. We are taught to develop our minds and bodies and we learn the rules of the game. These rules are fundamentals and are compared with our struggle in the world when we are thrown out into it on our own. The better man is pointed out as the symbol of all that is fine in American manhood. We have developed our ath- letics in America to a high degree, and there is no end of opportunity for an aspiring young athlete, with large playgrounds, gymnasiums, equipment, and coaching all provided. A college education may even be had if an athlete proves his mettle to a satisfactory degree. As a result, we have in this country attained a position in athletics which has been on a high plane. And now I say it is too bad that we have to slide backward, to forget our moral obligation to those looking up to us for guidance. Instead of converting the hero worship of hundreds, yes hundreds of thou- sands of young Americans into a desire for a clean, manly, virile life, our great heroes have given these youngsters only disillusionment and an unwholesome attitude. I admire Dr. Allen for his stand against this influence and he deserves the backing of every red-blooded man, woman and child in the country. Not only did Dr. Allen refuse the honor of going to Berlin as athletic director of the American Olympic basketball team, but he also struck out at the devilish practices of our Olympic leaders. Dr. Allen said he resigned because he was firmly convinced of the unsportsmanlike attitude of the A. A. LJ. members of the Olympic basketball committee and because he was sickened by the deceitful political bartering of the group. Dr. Allen had been chosen as American director in basketball because of his recognized leadership in that great field of sport. It was in a great measure due to Dr. Allen ' s influence that basketball was this year included in the Olympic events. His qualifica- tion for the very high honor is attested to by his great record of 18 championships in 25 years of coaching. Dr. Allen s complaint was mainly against the encroachments of the semi-professional National A. A. U. teams, which he considers a poor tendency from the standpoint of American College competi- (Continued on Page 79) OCTOBER K. U. ' s GODMOTHER (Continued (mm Page II) humanity. The extraordinary part of this entire program is that, with the exception of the gift of the City Hall, each gift had for many years been planned by this far-seeing woman, and therefore, has not from time to time been suggested by others. Mrs. Watkins ' first gift was Watkins Hall, given to the Univer- sity in 1Q26, and providing a home for some forty deserving young women who wish to gain an educa- tion and who otherwise could not have this opportunity. Her second and largest gift was a much-needed fifty-two bed modernly equipped hospital, given to the city in 1928. Lawrence was at that time contem- plating a bond issue to erect a modem hospital. The third bene- faction was the City Hall building, Mr. Vatkins ' old bank house, given in 1929 at a time when new offices for the city were imperative. Her fourth gift was a beautiful nurses ' home for the city hospital nurses, donated in 1930. Watkins Memorial Hospital, one of the finest univer- sity health centers in the country. was her fifth gracious act. Her sixth gift will be the new sister dormitory- to Vatkins Hall. But unknown to most people are her further charitable offerings. She herself pays the salary of the house- mother at Watkins Hall. She sup- ports families on her farms in Southwestern Kansas when their crops are ruined. She also aids needy and deserving students striv- ing for an education. Mrs. amns home near the campus Mrs. Vatkins plans to give away all of her fortune, now estimated at nearly two million dollars, in the far-seeing manner she has begun. Already she has given away over seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars and is constantly on the alert for other worthwhile benefac- tions that will be of a real service to humanity. Mrs. Watkins is not the only philanthropist in her (Continued on Page 69) Wolfcns Memorial Hospital JAYHAWKER Clothes that dare not to be commonplace . . . without being conspicuous . . . 35 Walnut at Eleventh MEN ' S CLOTHES By HIM Perhaps the most interesting observation of the school year is to be made in comparison of a new season s styles with what were con- sidered the smarter ideas of dress in the spring preceding. This year such an observation shows more distinctly than usual the trend towards color in men ' s clothes. This of course is yet in its initial stages and the perennial dark winter suit is still in the majority. It is only on closer observation that it is noted that these suiting materials, however, are in themselves taking on a great deal of color. For instance the poly- chromatic stripings and others of similar color combinations, while not very noticeable on first glance, nevertheless serve with the addition of the brighter finishings to brighten up ' His appearance. Among the smarter suits of the year Bill Fleeson ' s dark grey single- breasted model in whipcord tends to show a trend towards the once popular heavy gabardines (now being shown in topcoats in new colors and patterns). A very smart combination was Bob XVeston ' s (Sigma Nu) choice in a tannish grey Glen plaid single-breasted coat and contrastingly darker slacks of steel grey in a plain color.

FEMININE FASHIONS By HER Here we are again starting some- thing which, I hope, will prove of interest to even- feminine reader, although I certainly won ' t make any statements to the press about the success of the venture. However, as you and 1 well know, clothes and the psychology of wearing them is a subject that is dear to every woman ' s heart (that includes col- lege girls, too). It is a grand feeling to realize that well, here we are, we ' re college girls and we are important enough that all the nationally known style publications think enough of our standards and judgment on the clothes situation that they annually devote many pages to report what we are doing and what we are wearing this season. It is a swell racket, and the only thing that ruins it is the fact that too many dubs like myself are writing articles about it. However no matter the number of errors, one thing can never change, and that is the fact that even ' little dolly on the campus likes to have her name in print as being a criterion on this matter. This year is rich in offering to any girl with imagination many opportunities to be original in cos- tume and still get by with it. At the Chancellor ' s Reception it was (ConlimW or, Page 7) Rothschild ' s Has the Clothes The Cavalier One of the smart coats of the season; of fine fleece in all fall colors; worn belted or swagger Earl-Glo lined $22.75 Exclusively Rothschild ' s Mail Orders filled KANSAS CITY JAYHAWKER as are those which prevail at K. U. every year. Debating and literary societies were other interests, as was the lecture association which he and others completely reor- ganized in order that it might be more beneficial. In the world of sports, which was neither as large nor as prominent as it is today, baseball was his favorite. Curve balls were then a novelty, and the Chancellor, desirous of becoming a pitcher, spent many hours try- ing to get the proper ' break on a fast ball. College pranks took the place of sports in those days. The mention of graveyard hazing parties and inter-class fights always brings a smile to the Chancellor s face, and he confesses that some of the pranks in which he par- ticipated need not be mentioned. The busy days at Indiana came temporarily to an end in 1893 when Chancellor Lindley received his bachelor ' s degree. He says of his early days at Indiana: It was a simple, social, whole- some life, and I had a tremen- dously 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 student at Indiana, I met the Fellow-class- mate who has since become Mrs. Lindley. But evidently Chancellor Lind- ley was wrong in his supposition, because he was asked to remain as an instructor in psychology. Chan- cellor 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 con- structive work in the lives of stu- dents. From instructor he rose to associate professor, and in 1902 he became professor of philosophy and psychology and head of that de- partment in the University of Indiana. THE HEAD MAN (Continued from Page 14) Despite his many duties as a teacher, his studies continued. On leave of absence from Indiana he held a fellowship at Clark Uni- versity for two years and obtained his doctor ' s degree. After leaving Clark, he went abroad. At Jena, in the heart of the Goethe coun- try, he studied in a school pro- foundly influenced by this great German philosopher. Later he studied at Leipzig, and at Heidel- berg he did research vork under the famous Kraepelin. Soon aft- erwards, Chancellor Lindley pub- lished 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 psy- chologists as VilIiams James, George Palmer and Josiah Royce. Chancellor Lindley also made practical application of his psycho- logical studies. At one time he was employed to reorganize the per- sonnel 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 attention 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 since formed the foundations of policy for the Ford Motor Company. Nor did Chancellor Lindley con- fine his teaching to Indiana Uni- versity. He wrote many articles for scientific journals and spent his summers lecturing at Clark and Columbia Universities. In 1916 he was invited to lecture at Reed Col- lege and other points in the North- west. His lectures upon this trip, largely upon psychology and its relations to human life, became immediately popular. Newspaper accounts tell of crowds at these lec- tures which taxed the capacity of available auditoriums and halls. His tact particularly was often needed upon this trip. Once, when about to speak at Reed College upon psychology and its relation to health, Dr. Lindley found himself confronted with an audience com- posed largely of practicing physi- cians 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 respon- sible for his being offered the presi- dency of the University of Idaho in 1917. At the same time he was offered membership upon the com- mittee of five psychologists which compiled 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 occa- sioned by the Var and by the interference of local politics, Chan- cellor Lindley ' s work had, in less than three years, assumed immense proportions. Politics was divorced from university affairs; enrollment had increased sixty per cent; a state school of forestry had been established; and under university direction Idaho had made the biggest increase of an y state in the development of agriculture to meet war-time needs. In 1920 the University of Kansas invited Dr. Lindley to become Chancellor. It was to Kansas ' bene- fit that he accepted. His work here is too well known to bear repeti- tion. The pride of the students of the University and the citizens of the state is reflected in pride of their Chancellor . a man of vital contacts with men and affairs, but above all, a thorough scholar and a fellow-student.

Miller, a prominent banker of Kansas City who died in 1919. made a bequest of fifty thousand dollars to the Student Loan Fund of the University, to be available at the death of his widow. In giving her permission to The Jayhawker for this story, Mrs. Watkins said that she did not want the writer to praise her in any man- ner for the gifts she had made. So abiding with her wishes, we will subtly evade this modest request and quote a statement from Chan- cellor Lindley about her when she made the Watkins Memorial Hos- pital possible: Best of all, the hospital incar- nates the spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth M. YVatkins, a most generous and far-sighted friend of the Univer- sity. It reflects her profound and discriminating understanding of the needs of the students of this Uni- versity, and her concern for their welfare and happiness. Surely no monument ever erected or to be built on this campus could express a broader conception of service and of affectionate regard for the myriads of generations of students who are to throng this campus. By giving so richly of her insight and practical wisdom, as well as of her means, Mrs. YVatkins ranks among the greatest benefactors in the his- tory of the University- and of the State.

Incidentally, we were looking for something in the new district checks so popular in the East, at a recent varsity, but failed to observe one. Esquire has given this pattern much attention and you no doubt will see it quite frequently. Among the rougher fabrics one cannot overlook that coat of Rex Darnell of Sigma Chi. Purely a sack type coat but the herringbone certainly adds plenty of smartness. Apparently addicted to double- breasted suits, nevertheless Bill Dodderidge of A. T. O. has rung the bell this time in a medium grey chalk stripe model of the medium drape type. For an example of the more nearly full drape type of suit get a squint at Tom Ise (Chi Psi from Colorado and now a lawyer) in his blue chalk stripe double- breasted. Ve might add that the only really honest-to-goodness full drape suit we have yet observed (no brick bats we admit we ' ve not seen them all) is in the ward- robe of Wade Pipkin of Pi K. A. It has plenty of shoulder drape and really looks nice. Down Beta way we don ' t wish to overlook a likely candidate for honors as a good dresser in Dan Hamilton. While he is not addicted to the flashier models he certainly wears the dressier type of clothes well. Clyde Smith of Kappa Sigma gets credit for a mighty nice dickey front tan shirt worn with a single-breasted brown suit and topped off with a brown knit tie. Among the candidates for con- sideration as good dressers one must not overlook Jim Haughey of Phi Delta and Theta. He certainly does well by that grey cheviot single-breasted sport suit. Don Mc- Morran of Delta Tau showed nice taste in just the proper blend of grey and brown in a plain grey madras shirt with a white collar, worn with a brown double-breasted suit. Speaking of the Delts, how about Deb Barker as an example of achieving the casually careless, yet dressy appearance? In a musing vein we are trying to conceive how Paul Andreson would look in overalls Stew Chambers in a Homburg hat Allan (Diddle) Asher in the cus- tomary English type clothes so usually associated with one of those he-man pipes Steve Hus- ton in tails. We almost forgot the appearance of the new alligator leather in shoes. Harry Reitz trots frequently south- ward to a certain nearby sorority house, and often wears them. A preview of the formal season shows the double-breasted tuxedo in the majority over the single- breasted models. These are almost all rolled to the bottom button in the Kent made. Buttons are faced with the same material as the lapels and ribbed satin is replacing the smoother variety. Midnight blue, the color which we ' ve sort of believed was pretty good, is really in the forefront this year. Vhat is more, tails will be more popular than ever. Quite a few were worn last year and all indications are for a larger swing this year. If it ever gets cold in Kansas, and it probably will, (at least it has in the past,) you are going to see plenty of topcoats and overcoats in the balmaccan models. They ' re really going over in a big way, fol- lowing a good start last year. Here, too, color is becoming more evident as well as are a number of plaid and district check patterns. For next issue we hope to have a letter with the low down on the clothes situation at Yale as purviewed by John Dieter who is at that institution with the inten- tion of looking into the law. Like- wise our Princeton correspondent has promised us something good, so cherio until next issue. OCTOBER WOMEN ' S (Continued i only too obvious that, on the whole, this fact was sadly forgotten, and, as a result, the crowd was colorless and dull. If you are fortunate enough to possess unusual features, capitalize on that. Take Kappa s Buffe Hannah, for instance. Now there is a girl who is unusual and sensibly lets no little trick escape her to make the most of it. And, by the way, her lovely, resonant voice completes the ensemble. Too much, I think, has been raised against the danger of becom- ing a type. Of course when you degenerate into the stereotyped, that ' s a different matter! The great- est danger seems to come from the fact that too many girls forget just what type they really are. If you are all moonlight and magnolias, petite and blond, go in for the dainty and somewhat ruffly type of attire. Little Mary Depew of the Alpha Chi lodge is an excellent example of this school of thought. For the smart and tailored, may I nominate Mary Jane Haynes and Gertrude Fields, Pi Phis, who are the supreme examples of what col- lege girls from coast to coast desig- nate as correct garb for campus wear. The severe but, oh, so smart, fit them beautifully. Virginia Streeter, Theta transfer from Wis- consin, exercises perfect choice and is the most perfectly groomed girl seen on this campus for lo, these many years.

Also, the thin girl who is determined to wear long and slinky things. It is always a good thing to remember if you are tall and thin that a horizontal line does much to break height and if you are tending to the wide, vertical lines create an impression of slenderness. And the girls who forever ruin what is left of the natural grace of a woman ' s walk by ridiculously stomping about the campus in shoes that are absurd in the natural realm of the sport shoe and oxfords. Originality was mentioned before, but as far as college life goes it is a handy fact to remember that the hat featured by Vogue is only too often referred to by your best beau, and in no encouraging tone, as That Thing! And also, the cha- peau with the intriguing feather is a hard thing for your dancing partner to peer around on the dance floor. There is a little secret about buying hats. The rear view, a standing pose, is often important in order to see the relation to your height, shoulder line and coiffure. Another good law of design neces- sary to recall when buying a new dress is the fact that only one line or treatment can be featured. In other words, an unusual flared skirt and an important neckline design do not join in perfect harmony on the same dress. The drizzle, drizzle of our ele- ments has brought to mind an unusually attractive rain outfit worn by Bette Wasson. Chi Omega. The raincoat was of a transparent green material with an umbrella to match. And to look- attractive in nasty weather, my kiddies, is no mean achievement!

JAYHAWKER FROM K. U. TO THE WHITE HOUSE? Governor Landon ' s friends, neighbors and advisers feel confi- dent that the Kansas governor will carry by a good majority the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Jersey and nearly all the New Eng- land States. The doubtful states are Colorado, Virginia, North Caro- lina, Tennessee, Florida, Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota and Vis- consin. All the states in the South except Florida are conceded to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the present President. Likewise, it is believed that California, Vashington, and Oregon will go Democratic. Representative Lemke, who lists himself as non-partisan and is a candidate for presidency of the United States on the Union Party ' s ticket, will carry North Dakota, his home state. It is believed that every four votes for Lemke will mean three votes less for President Roose- velt and one less for Governor Landon. Governor Landon disclosed very clearly the sort of man he is, the method of his campaign, and, to a considerable extent, the kind of president he would make at the outset of his campaign. First of all, it is apparent that Landon is completely his own man. He has shaken off brain-trust advisers and no one has taken their place. His own companions on his campaign trips are several of his Kansas intimates. In his speeches he reveals the broad philosophy which guides him, the vital issues which he believes are facing the country today, and he paints a per- fectly clear picture of what is to be expected of him in the event of his election. John Hamilton, his campaign manager, has urged the governor to put more punch in his speeches because of criticisms of his style of delivery, but he continues to be himself. It is doubtful that there has been a day in the last two months. (Continued from Page 40) excepting the two weeks Landon vacationed in Estes Park, Colo- rado, on which from one to a score of visitors has not written giving the same advice. But in the end he has but one answer, I have always talked the way I now talk. To attempt to change Governor Lan- don ' s style of speaking would be, in some degree, demanding that he step out of his own character, and that is the thing that he is most determined not to do. The governor vrites his own speeches while at his home in lopeka. He dislikes long sentences or big words and does not go in for smart phrase-making. His supreme ambition is to be himself. The Republican nominee makes several speeches of appreciation every day while traveling, greeting his supporters from the rear plat- form of his special train. On his first tour of the East he said a few words at the following towns: Sterling, Colorado I appreciate very much the fact that so many of you folks have taken the time and trouble to come down here this morning to greet us. North Platt, Nebraska I believe a man can be liberal without being a spendthrift. Cedar Rapids, Iowa ' We are lacing the emergency of the 1936 drouth. No individual and no or- ganization should approach this problem from the point of view of politics. Sterling, Illinois - ' Ve must elect a Republican Congress, for the present Congress has abdicated its Constitutional power ... Mansfield, Ohio This was the home of John Sherman. On the foundations of his work . . . the government must frankly and reso- lutely attack the evils of monop- oply ... In addition to Landon ' s duties as governor and the making of cam- paign speeches his calendar has been filled with countless callers. One of the first to chat with him was Miss Agnes Samuelson of Des Moines, Iowa, vice-president of the National Education Association. Miss Samuelson found, she stated, that the Kansas governor believed in equal opportunity and educa- tion for all. The Republican presidential nominee ' s running mate. Col. Frank Knox, called on the governor to discuss campaigning. Mrs. Dolly Gann, sister of the late Charles Curtis and hostess to him as vice-president, visited Gov- ernor Landon and said that she thought all the people who favored prohibition would support him. Senator Arthur Vanderburg of Michigan called on the Kansas governor to discuss major cam- paign issues such as civil service, relief, budget-balancing and the Constitution. Landon ' s campaign manager, John Hamilton, calls at frequent intervals. In the national chair- man ' s nominating speech he said, Governor Landon ' s initial politi- cal success was based upon the opinion his fellow citizens had formed of his knowledge, his rep- utation, and his character as shown in business and on the smaller stages of politics. Since Governor Landon grad- uated from the University of Kan- sas in 1908, twenty thousand per- sons, now residing in all parts of the world, have received degrees from the University. One of these alumni founded the Mellon Insti- tute of Industrial Research. Another built the first bridge across the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, while the son of a K. U. chemist installed the English end of the Trans-Atlantic Radio Telephone. But to none of these celebrities has fallen an honor as great as that accorded Alfred M. Landon, and should his record as a wise states- man and a capable executive carry him through the November elec- tion to the Vhite House, the honor to the University will be equally as great. OCTOBER COLLEGE SCENE FOR AUTUMN (Continued from Page 29( Hapgood gained 5 yards and then passed to Giannangelo for a first down on the 21 -yard line. Hap- good ran down the sideline for a gain of 9 yards and Douglass plowed to a first down on the 7-yard marker. Hapgood in three plays carried the ball to the 6-inch line and on fourth down Douglass crashed over for the score. A short while later, Vashbum, with the aid of several penalties on Kansas, drove to the Jayhawkers 19-yard line but Replogle intercepted a pass to end the threat. The third quarter saw Wash- burn ' s offense hit its stride and the Kansas offense crumble, as the Ichabods marched 72 yards to a touchdown. Two passes to Brady, Negro end, gained 22 yards and Vigola and Kinter ripped through the Kansas line for gain after gain. A lateral pass play with Brady on the receiving end carried the ball over from the 5-yard line. One Kansas drive early in the fourth quarter ended with the Jay- hawkers losing the ball on downs but after the ensuing Washbum punt the Jayhawkers moved down the field to their third tally. A pass from Hapgood to Replogle was good for 17 yards and took the ball to the Washburn 27-yard stripe. Hapgood went through center for 9 yards and Douglass then made a first down on the 12-yard line. Hapgood raced to the 1-yard line and on the next play Douglass blasted his way through center for the touchdown. In the line, George Harrington, end; Ferrel Anderson, tackle; and Howard Morland, guard, played outstanding ball. AH of the backs looked good with Paronto, Masoner, Hapgood and Douglass doing especially well. Impressions of the game were that Kansas has a very promising offense but that the defense will have to be bolstered up, with such opponents as Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas State and Michigan State in the offing. Inexperience is the problem which confronts the team. Gradua- tion claimed the four members of the 1955 eleven who won all-Big Six recognition: Rutherford Hayes, end; Dick Sklar, guard: Ed Phelps, center: and John Peterson, full- back. Regulars Dean Nesmith, tackle: Tom McCall, guard; and Fred Harris, halfback, also com- pleted their three years of com- petition. The other four first stringers, Wade Green, end; Jack Vogel, tackle: Emil Weinecke, quarter- back: and George Hapgood, half- back, are back in action but to dat none of them has been able to cinch a position in the starting lineup. Green and Yogel appear definitely to have lost their places in the first string and Weinecke and Hapgood have n real battle on their hands attempting to retain their positions. The overthrow of the returning veterans can be traced partly to the sophomores. The best sophomore crop at Mount Oread in a number of years moved into the Jayhawker gridiron scheme of things this fall to insure Kansas fine teams for the next three years. These stalwarts included Floyd Hansen, end: Ferrel Anderson and Fred Bosilevac, tackles; Herbert Gearhart, Harold Etchens and Wade Nelson, guards; Bill Boardman and Jack Hall, cen- ters. Among the outstanding sopho- more backs are Paul Masoner, Max Replogle, Francis Paronto, Lyman Divens, J. D. Richardson, Milton Meier, Dave Shirk and Maurice Cannady. Scrappy, agile and most of them beefy, these men constitute outstanding material. Stars as freshmen, they all appear capable of making the grade in the stiffer competition. It is in 1957 and 1958 however that these newcomers will show to best advantage. In the present campaign their inexperience will weigh heavily against them.

Reserves returning from last year ' s squad include John Siegle, George Harrington and Howard Burnett, ends; Lewis Vard, tackle; Howard Moreland, Clarence Vin- slow, Rodney Loughmiller and George Stapleton, guards; Dave Lutton, center; Joe Giannangelo, quarterback; Forrest Hardacre, half- back; and Clarence Douglass, full- back. Siegle, Harrington, Vard, Moreland and Lutton are all mak- ing strong bids for first string posts and are among the favored few at their positions. The competition from the sophomores should keep their play at its peak all season, a further reason for Kansas optimism. The 1936 eleven is the heaviest to represent the school in several years. From end to end the line which will probably constitute the starting group averages 196 pounds to t he man as compared with 181 last year. Coach Lindsey has been alternating two backfields on the first string, one of which tips the scales at an average of 185 and the other 171. Brawniest members of the squad are Siegle, 210; Hansen, 195; and Harrington, 190, ends; Anderson, 200; Vogel, 195; and Ward, 190, tackles; Gearhart, 205; Etchens, 205; Stapleton, 200; and Winslow, 195, guards; Lutton, 190, center; Veinecke, 190, quarterback; Paronto, 190, halfback; and Doug- lass, 195, fullback. A more powerful offense for Kansas appears probable this year, something which will doubtless enthuse Kansas supporters. A strong defense is a fine thing but fans invariably prefer an offense that can go places. Such is the supposition on which professional football teams build their flashy and daring offenses. George Hapgood, who has com- prised a big part of the Kansas offense the past two years, is back again to heave his bull ' s-eye passes and to weave his way off-tackle for healthy gains. This year however he is aided and abetted by a num- ber of other ball-advancing special- ists. Douglass, junior fullback, is a crushing line plunger and a good left-handed passer. Of the sophs, Masoner, Paronto, Shirk, Replogle and Richardson are men who know just what to do when they find the pigskin in their hands. Masoner is a good passer and is surprisingly successful on spinners into the center of the line, although he is not very heavy. Richardson is the fastest ball carrier to tote the leather for the Crimson and the Blue in many a year. Off like greased lightning, he is through quick-opening holes before the opposition knows the ball has been centered. Lindsey ' s worries about a punter to succeed Fred Harris, whose long range kicks demoralized Big- Six opponents for three years, have been put to an end by the showing of sophomores Paronto and Divens. Both are punters of siege gun calibre. October 10, the Jayhawkers opened their conference season with an engagement at Ames against the Iowa State Cyclones. The Iowa State aerial circus which proved Kansas ' undoing last fall once again features the play of the Cyclones, but as the Jayhawker goes to press the game is yet a few days in the offing. October 1 7 and 24 the Jayhawkers run into two more formidable con- ference opponents, Oklahoma, in a game here, and then Kansas State, in a clash to take place at Man- hattan. Both are rugged, veteran outfits expected to finish high in the conference race. The Sooners, under the coaching of Biff ' Jones, figure to be especially strong. The (Continued on Page 75) OCTOBER HONOR MAN, 1955 GLNNAR Mykland, 1 ' 59, was named Honor Man for 1935 at the Honors convocation held last April 27, climaxing a brilliant record of outstanding achievements as a leader in University activities. Chancellor Lindley, in announcing the award, commended him on his qualities of character, leadership. By KENNETH LEWIS scholarship, breadth of interest and activity, and unselfish service the five points taken into consideration by the committee in charge, in its attempt to select the senior man most outstanding in the University. The award, made by a represen- tative committee which the Chan- cellor appoints from the University staff, is based on leadership and service to the school as a whole, rather than on outstanding merit in any one division. High scholas- tic standing, although essential, is no more important than any of the other five qualities which the Chan- cellor mentioned in his address. Gunnar Mykland came to the University ' in 1932 as a Summer- field scholar from Chapman, Kan- sas. He was on the Dean ' s Honor Roll in 1953 and 195-4, and he was a member of both Owl Society and Sachem, junior and senior men ' s honor societies.

The western school is no pushover in anybody ' s league as Kansas will find out. November 7 is the day of days, when Kansas will again try to end the domination of Nebraska ' s Scar- let horde. What a game that should be and what a crowd it will draw! Michigan State, which has ranked high nationally the past two years is the Jayhawkers guest Novembti 14. Kansas will be out to avenge the 42-0 drubbing they took last year and the game should provide plenty of fireworks. November 21 the Jayhawkers will play their fourth consecutive game at home, when the Varsity play the fresh- men in a game originally scheduled to be played September 26 but postponed because of rain.

Council in 1954, he contributed materially to the working out of an adequate system of student govern- ment. He is a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, honorary political science fraternity. Mykland served as freshman debate coach in 1955, and is a mem- ber of Theta Sigma Rho, honorary forensic fraternity. Last spring, with Lyman Field, he shared the $20 first prize in forensics awarded by (hat organization. At present Mykland is studying at the University of Minnesota under a fellowship granted by that University ' s School of Public Administration.

Kingsport, Tennessee WHAT OF OUR TRADITIONS? (Confirmed from Page 23) this spirit have been the customs and traditions which have been treasured by succeeding genera- tions. These traditions, in accord with the inchoate idealism and spirit of the University, have arisen and developed with the passage of time. The often advocated theory of traditions being started unknow- ingly, beginning mysteriously and imperceptibly, is fallacious. If ade- quate analysis is given the matter, each tradition will be found to have been at first motivated by some individual or group. Few students now in the University, for example, have realized that the tradition of the Rock Chalk pile did not simply grow out of the dim hap- penings of the past, but rather that the idea was conceived by Profes- sor Melvin as a concrete sign or symbol to memorialize the historic events of this school which students should appreciate and emulate. Together with the rock pile signaliz- ing service by the men is the service of the hearth by the women, sym- bolizing sentiment. These traditions are in keeping with the true spirit of the school and should be pre- served as such. Unfortunately in the last few years little attention has been paid to these services by the groups responsible for perpet- Uciting them. Many times there have been practices which have crept in, either bluntly or surreptitiously, which are not consistent with the original purpose of K. U.; abuses followed, and the student body has been led off on a tangent from the true line of progress. Thus prac- tices and customs have been intro- duced which have no place what- soever in the school. For example, the practice of Hobo Day, borrowed from another school, has nothing in common with the purpose and idealisms of University traditions. Its justification on the basis of a rah-rah letting off of steam, usually associated with high school students, may be feasible. Certainly it has no right to the name of a K. U. tradi- tion. Such customs as that just men- tioned have come, and will continue to come, periodically. They are transient movements only, and from a survey of the history of the Uni- versity it seems that they appear in times of great change in the life of the institution, indeed of the whole social order. The period of 1909 was such a time, for K. U. was then being transformed from a small college into a university. Especially were the years 1919-20, following the war, characteristic of such a change. The recent tradition prob- lems may reasonably be attributed to rapid changes not only in the increasing size of the school but to the economic and social mutations which affect profoundly the indi- vidual lives of every student who enters the University. Our prob- lem will not and cannot be solved immediately, but the indications are that it is gradually modulating itself to the times and the present conditions. What of the future? What will be done to enforce our traditions? someone asks. Precisely nothing! Traditions cannot be enforced by any amount of legislation or coercion on the part of any group, whether it be the Men ' s Student Council or the K-men. Either of these groups can help to clarify issues. They can advocate and encourage the preservation of certain customs as worthy of the best ideals of the University, but for anyone to think they can arbitrarily or arti- ficially enforce such measures is insensate. Fortunately at the time this article is written most organized groups on the Hill are truly appre- ciating in this matter. With fore- sight and vigilance they will spon- sor and cherish the best of our traditions. OCTOBER THE SOCIAL WHEEL (Continued from Page 37) no, the floor was littered with their weird jumping and kicking. One Jay hawker ' s only comment and con- solation was, Thank God, they didn ' t wear their spurs! The band on this occasion was Louie Kuhn, and reported to be very fleet. At the very same time, the Pi Phis were next door struggling with all the boys who didn ' t have the necessary six-bits to make the Var- sity in the Union. Proceedings were reported as very sane and quiet, with the muscle dancers getting in the best licks because they were able to continue without moving a step. In fact, things were so calm that Johnnie Greene, little Delta Tan pledge, fell fast asleep (?) in the swing on the front porch and had to be carried home . . . what could be happier? Unfortunate enough as to possess only two eyes and two ears, it is impossible that I give you any more results of social activities occuring up to this date. However, next time, 1 will be with you once more in an effort to present all the news that is possibly fit to print. THE OPENING VARSITY (Continued rom Page 42) Comes a pause in the evening s entertainment. Time out for inter- mission and refreshments more milling around gradually dates are found the crowd slowly thins and soda fountains receive more than their usual rush. Cool and carefree once more, couples go their ways, back to the dance some to careless bridge games others, oh, there are many things to be done. But back in the ballroom once again we find a much smaller crowd; dancing is much freer, bedlam ceases to hold the upper hand. However the evening is fast drawing to a close and we note that two bv two the herd straggles out, weary and worn glad indeed for relaxation on a car cushion or the coolness of a stone bench and a cigarette. The band swings into a good- night melody lights are dimmed. Back to your date for the final dance. With the last blare of the trumpet comes a rush for the stairs the mob surges out. Louie and his band pack up the ballroom is once again restored to quiet and darkness silence finally reigns over the entire build- ing as another opening varsity becomes a thing of the past.

Pi pledge, received several rush letters from the Alpha Tau rush captain. With Paul Rogers at the helm for the second consecutive year the Kappa Sigs got their usual quota of high class pledges. They pledged their usual all-state basketball player from Arkansas City. Inci- dentally the man had a Sigma Chi pledge button in his pocket from June until the night before rush week. Never let it be said that there was ever a rush week but what the girls from down on Indiana didn ' t pledge a bunch of fancy gals. Ve refer to that select group of girls known as the Thetas. One, for instance, is Dorothy Spencer (any Kappas ever hear of her?) who has been choosen by the Sour Owl as Betty Coed. The Delta Taus were able to from Page 19) convince quite a group that there was no danger of falling off their sleeping porch or starving to death just because they modeled their house after some Beverly Hills manor. One of their belter pledges is Bruce Voran, a good-looking basketball player from Pretty Prairie The Kappas won the beautiful Doris Johnson from Kan- sas City. Now that all has been said that should and some that shouldn ' t let us hope that in the future Mount Oread will see many such success- ful rush weeks as the one just passed Even to the point where a man won t be accepted unless he has a new Packard (Sigma Chi), a straight A average (Beta), a six trunk wardrobe (Phi Psi), or can play basketball like Ray Ebling (Sig Alf), but in case any one knows of such a person a word to the vise should be sufficient.

Two records were set in the fourteenth renewal of the games. The Emporia Teachers cracked tbe world record in the distance medley by 1.5 seconds, running it in 10:12.7. Northwestern University turned in the fastest time ever recorded for the sprint medley. At the Drake relays Kansas placed third in the 880-yard relay, which Notre Dame won in 1:27.3. Glenn Cunningham established a new American mark in the 1,000- yard run, sharing honors with Don Lash, Indiana two- miler and Alton Terry, Hardin-Simmons College javelin thrower. The Jayhavvkcrs climaxed an up- nill fight from a last in the indoor Bix Six meet when they took third in the outdoor meet at Lincoln. in Page 39) Nebraska won with 71%, Kansas State was second with 56, and K. U. was third with 44-1 3. Last year saw a line group of freshmen candidates, and the majority of last year ' s promisingtrack and field men will be back with seasoning, so Kansanites may be startled with several track victories this year. The Kansas team was slow getting into shape last year for several outstanding reasons. A great number of the candidates were inexperienced as far as actual com- petition was concerned, and showed consequent improvement as the sea- son went on. In addition, the extended and rather gruelling basket- ball season left Ray Noble in bad shape for the pole vault and gave Marvin Cox no time to practice his several events. With this year ' s track meet at Kansas, Nebraska may lose a title. At any rate, the Cornhuskers will meet a stronger set of Jayhawk spikes than last year. OCTOBER 79 ALL STUDENT SERVANT (Continued frm view of journalism and its problems. Students are awed and a little bit frightened the first time they come in contact with the energetic and fiery director of the K. U. News Bureau. W. A. Dill. Professor Dill teaches the practical side of report- ing and editing. The University ' was fortunate in securing the services of Edward W. HuIIinger, international journalist and author, as an instructor for the first semester. Professor HuIIinger leaves a notable record of writing and news coverage in Russia. France. Germany and England. E. N. Doan. teaches the interpre- tative and legal side of journalism. He is adviser and instructor in edi- torial and feature writing and in the law of the press. The sociological angle of news- paper work is taught by Alfred M. i Pog 31) Lee, youthful professor who divides his time between the sociology and the journalism departments. J. J. Kistler, professor in charge of the printing and press room, handles the mechanical section of newspaper instruction. Melvin Harlin. assistant instruc- tor in journalism, acts as supervisor of the student laboratory work and head of the news room. The students connected with tbe Kansan take pride in carrying on a virile, actively campaigning news- paper. They have advocated and supported various campus improve- ments such as the new library steps, rehabilitation of the D y c h e museum, campus traditions and other goals.

Charged with the duty of protect- ing and perpetuating the Univer- sity ' s traditions, the Council has what proved last year to be a ticklish job. The action allowing the fresh- from Page 33) man president to vote on the Coun- cil is coupled significantly with the abolition of hazing as a means of enforcing the freshman cap tradition. With increasing activity and a widening scope of Council influ- ence has come greater responsibility to Council members. Times have changed.

St. BEGINNING: (Conlinuea The parties up to date have been the usual atrocities. Vhile Johnny Paul, Varsity dance manager, is doubtless rubbing his hands and exchanging pats on the back with Union Manager Cochrane, we of the herd raise our voice in a vail of protest against packing a thousand students into the ballroom, and then just daring them to dance. The Mid-weeks bid fair to occupy their traditional place as the nadir of the social program. The first boasted better than four hundred stags. Open houses are no better and there is less excuse for them because the girls should know better. Ve don ' t dance anymore, we merely stand still and vibrate. More com- parable to a horde of savages stomp- ing to the beat of a tom-tom than anything else. The more civilized we become the less rational our behavior. Lester McCoy, member of the Board of Regents from Garden City, addressed the first convoca- tion a few weeks back. The Chan- cellor likewise had a few well chosen bits of advice for the body politic. I ' m not in any position to comment on the crowd at the con- vocation, but the fountain was filled to overflowing. Most of the mem- bers of the old convocation day cokcrs are back in the fold and a goodly number of the freshmen give evidence of a yearning to be num- bered in that genial crew. A second convocation three days later (The Union Operating Com- mittee must be sponsoring these affairs) heard a Chinese visitor, Dr. T. 7 . Koo. The speech was evi- dently along philosophical lines for one student remarked to me after- wards, I thought we vere sending missionaries to China to give them religion, but the Chinks turned the tables on us today. In the last year or so there has been more written on the library steps than any other single thing on the campus. Never has the Kansan cherished a crusade so dearly, and finally success has THIS ' NT THAT from Page 17) crowned their efforts. Our prayers and faith have been rewarded. The new steps bid fair to outdo center Ad as a loafing place. Probably all that has been written on the steps in the past will not be a circum- stance when compared to all that will be said on them in the future. Personally I ' d rather have climbed a ladder into the library, ' n ' better yet not gone in at all rather than have sacrificed the fine old elm that the steps cr owded out. But my lament will be lost in the general roar of approval. The Vashburn football game gives promise of a more interesting football season from the viewpoint of the student body, although they rarely, if ever, figure in any calcu- lations of the atheltic department save those of a financial nature. It would appear that the team will have a couple of new plays to add to the off tackle, off guard, and punt formations of last year. The new formations will doubtless do mirch to fill the gap left by the passing of the mighty Kansas defense which so consistently held last year ' s opponents to a minimum of touchdowns. It seems a bit too early and too warm to arouse much enthusiasm among either team or students, but the annual sermons on school spirit are due to start with the first frost. And don ' t say I didn ' t warn you. There ' s nothing like a good rally to get our minds off the score. DISCRETION, NOT DISCIPLINE (Continued from Page 15) fishing this summer. According to Mr. Werner, the plan could be used very successfully on our own State Lake. The advisers of men and women are both vitally interested in the needs of students of the Univer- sity, and express their pleasure at the number of students who volun- tarily seek advice and guidance in financial, scholastic, and personal matters. OCTOBER MEN ' S INTRAMURALS (ConJinucJ from Page 55) The open golf and tennis tourna- ments are also expected to draw large enrollments. A touch football rules interpre- tation meeting was held on Septem- ber 24 in order that a representative of each group might become acquainted with the rules and regu- lations of play. Points were made clear in order to avoid possible mis- understandings later in the season and to keep the feelings of the players on an amicable basis. Other phases of athletics that intramurals embrace are: golf, track, horseshoe pyramid, team horseshoes, tennis pyramid, team tennis, hand- ball pyramid, and team handball. In this way. a man who does not wish to take part in one sport may have his choice of several others, and he is almost certain to find one that he will like and that he will enjoy playing.

Miss Hoopes likes illustrated poetry and has a mania for scrap- booking. Her childhood scrapbook shows her ambitions, for it con- tains poetry, letters on travel, articles about the child stage stars of the time, and a bit about an actress having 250 pairs of shoes. Shakespearian plays are her favor- ites. She has seen 23 of the plays. Then she stopped to classify them for me. The first nine can be seen almost anywhere, the second nine have to be hunted out, the third nine are rarities, and the fourth nine are only produced in London. Her activities have by no means ceased today. In 1950 she went to the McDowell Colony. In 1927 she edited a book on Contemporary Kansas Poets. She lectures fre- PROFESSORS from Page 53) quently and is in great demand for women ' s clubs. She likes to read poetry to a group. And she broad- casts frequently, so all in all she is a very busy woman. She mentioned the fact that she was the only girl in the family. She used to play with a girl who was her cousin. This girl was blond and had blue eyes while Miss Hoopes has always been a brunette. She remembers the arguments that she and this girl had about who w r as the fairest. Miss Hoopes always won. Well, I found these teachers weren ' t nearly so bad as I thought. They are exceedingly pleasant and interesting.

Great people, these profs. PLUS SERVICE . . . PLUS VALUE Today the purchaser of every-day necessities expects full value for even.- dollar spent.

Fldridge Hotel IN THE MAIL To TKe Jayhawker I wre K Dear Friends: So you were elated over my letter. Well anyway you said so, page nine of your October issue of the Jayhawker. I was elated loo and glad of the opportunity of airing my opinions so prominently, but sorry you could not tring yourself to agree with me on the selection of Beauty Queens. After your first attempt in your so-called quality vs. quantity tout, there are a number who will agree the decision is with me. You say you want quality instead of quantity, you have both quality in quantity. Why can ' t you appreciate it? 1 he number of pretty girls on your pages of last year ' s book gave punch and interest to the Jayhawker and was much more inter- esting than photographs of shadowy doorways and visages of college professors. After perus- ing the book from cover to cover, I put it down with the same casual interest I have in the Financial page of the paper. Then I picked up the Sour Owl. I have often wondered what made it sour . . . Ho Hum ... I must be getting old. After having been rebuked about my more beauty queen suggestion I expected to be dazzled by the new deal in beauties. Where was my tall slender graceful blonde and who was this with the Figi Island hairdress? Where were the thin ankles and where was my girl of poise who doesn ' t lean against the wall and wear shirtwaist and skirt for photographs? Where was my beauty queen who would look like my star who fell down from heaven? Where Oh! where I ask you. I can show you a number of such gorgeous gals and my roommate, who likes tiny little dark cuties says he can produce his quota. Such a difference in opinion must be appeased. What say you? Let me also add that a suggestion might hi- in order for your brother columnist that propaganda as to the possible selection of beauty queen is not very sporting. Can ' t we have some fair play on this campus? Let the few who have a chance have it fairly. Wei! after all The Sour Owl Beauty Queen is a dubious sounding title. Give us our quota of Beauty Queens for there are certainly plenty of them and they look nice in the book. Because someone says this one or that one is the Beauty Queen does not make it so as far as I am concerned. I know the type of my queen or queens and only that kind are queens to me and plenty of However if I cannot see a fair gathering of beauties in the Jayhawker. there is the movie magazines for interest and the Jayhawker can, be used for what interest I may have in architecture at dawn or as a guide book of college professors. Then there is the Sour Owl for possible spare moments, for after all there are many ways for it to be a humorous LI- .- publication. Yours very truly, Mr. Admirer of Good Lookers. P. S. You will note after the word columnist a . I intended to put in the words On The Shin. This was left out of my masterpiece.(?) I appreciate that getting out a magazine the type of the Jayhawker is a big job and suppose if I can t offer you something you are inter- ested in that I should not squawk. However I have been trying to show you how to make a better book with more interest to it.

W ' hether this be true or not, we feel that a section similar to the old feature section, containing pic- tures of as many students as possible will meet with general approval, so for that reason we are inaugurating in this issue a pictorial feature sec- tion of photographs of every phase of student life. Photographs are by Duke D ' Ambra, Wallace Weber, and Art Wolf. We hope you enjoy it. The February issue of the Jay- hawker will contain many features designed to relieve tired minds of the worries resulting from final exam- inations. Pages will be given to the professional fraternities, the glee clubs, and honorary organizations. Features on important happenings over the Hill, another group of five Hill Headliners, articles on ath- letics, dramatics, politics, an inter- view with the winners of the Jay- hawker-Granada Rose Bowl con- test, and another pictorial feature section will provide a varied and interesting reading menu. Especially interesting will be an article on tea dancing at other schools in the Big Six and its advantages and disadvantages in the present setup here. Robert Pearson, a newcomer to the Hill this year, has already made for himself a reputation as one of the most promising writers to appear here in recent years. Boh serves this issue of the JAYHAWKER in a triple capacity: as dramatic critic.

Other features of note in this issue are provided by H. M. Mason, Jr., J. Hubert Anderson, James Porter, Fred Littooy and Jane Blaney, and Frances Vare. Although provided with a minimum of material to work with. Mason has produced a graphic and complete account of the foot- ball season just past, which adds much to his record as one of the Hill ' s ablest sports writers. Ander- son provides our recognition of an- other group of professors of note, while Porter has written interesting biographies of five outstanding stu- dents selected as the first group of the JAYHAWKER ' S Hill Head liners. Those familiar with JAY- HAWKERS of past years will real- ize that here is a departure in the method of recognizing outstanding achievements, but we feel that the five we feature are without a doubt deserving of the space given them. In the next two issues the JAY- HAWKER vill present ten more ' Hill Headliners, while the final edition will feature our K. U. Beauty Queens.

NOVEMBER Thursday 5: The freshmen elected their class officers today under the stern hand of K. U. ' s political bosses. Some of them had a faint idea about what they were doing, but followed instructions anyway. Friday 6: Homecoming saw the biggest crowd of the year, 13,000, in our 42,000 capacity stadium. Much filling and re-filling of coke bottles. Alf received a big hand for his attendance. Monday 9: The dramatic produc- tion, Bury the Dead, was greeted by students and faculty in great style. Heart-throb Crafton proved his popularity, and the Raving Reporter got a snappy interview. Thursday 12: The election of the NV.S.G.A. ended the numerous tea parties and cooled the ardor of the political-minded females on the Hill. It was a grand show and succeeded in entertaining both sexes for a few weeks. Friday 13: The day of bad luck and the girls are puffing and pant- ing around all alone together in the Saturday 14: The Michigan lads came a long way to pick a bird as small as the Jayhawk.

DECEMBER Friday 4: The Freshman Frolic drew a capacity crowd of orchestra fans, who delighted in swinging to the strains of Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra. It was a fashion show of the first order. One of the freshmen who attended was regret- ting the fact that he could not wear his tux. As a matter of fact, a few out-of-town dancers did just that. Prosperity must be here for sure. DECEMBER VOLUME XLIX DECEMBER, 1936 NUMBER 2 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the JayhawJter Admsory Board. A record of events and personalities, and a review of campus trends and opinions. JAMES H. COLEMAN Editor-in Chief JACK TOWNSEND Business Manager J I HE most pressing problem before J_ the Hill solons at the present time seems to be the football situation. What, if anything, will ever be done to give the school a football team that can win a greater per- centage of its games remains an open problem, but it is evident that if someone isn ' t satisfied soon the University may develop into two rival camps, ready to jump at each other ' s throats at the slightest sign of intellectual laziness or unfounded opinions. Vhile we have no sym- pathy for those who jump on each bandwagon as it comes along without stopping to inquire as to its destination, it seems apparent that Kansas could and should have better football teams. Our fears as to the possibility of the effectiveness of the Kansan ' s campaign for touchdowns were allayed recently when the paper finally set forth a solution for the problem. We were afraid for a time that the editors were not going to be able to think of a better plan than the present one, but with the announcement as their goal of a training table, athletic scholarships, or a reorganization of the athletic staff we see that at last a solution to the problem has been discovered. The only difficulty is that athletic scholarships and training tables are absolutely taboo as far as the Big Six administration is concerned, which condition leaves only one alternate, which might and might not be for the best. The power lies in the wrong battery, so to speak. It must not be forgotten, however, that a majority of the players upon whom Coach Lindsey had to depend this year were sophomores, but the fact remains that except for a few occasions none of the players performed as capably as even the most informed observer could expect. Several who were outstanding in their sophomore year have declined noticeably in proficiency since that time. Whether that is because of coach- ing or individual personality is hard to say. To move along to lighter sub- jects, we feel bound to comment on the highly successful Freshman Frolic and the reasons therefore. There have been few occasions in the past on which the Frolic drew a crowd to compare at all with the 1.300 (according to On The Shin Asher) persons attending the per- formance of Fletcher Henderson ' s band on December 4. In fact nearly all the class parties, as well as the regular varsities, were distinguished for the fact that the committee in charge nearly always almost made expenses, but the success of the Frolic should provide a much- needed lesson for those concerned. Name bands have appeared many times on the Hill, but name alone is not enougb to insure a large gathering. Hereafter those selecting bands for the class parties will probably pause for a moment to consider the type of band they are hiring, with the realization that if they secure the kind of band the students admire for their style alone the party ' s success is assured. The reception of the Mills and Hender- son bands during the past two years must have convinced every- one that he is out of step if he doesn t applaud every time the word swing is mentioned. Here- after all that will be necessary will be to announce that the band is a swin g band and the tickets will sell like votes on election day. While we are speaking of swing ' let us remind you of the Swing Concert which the cream of the Hill musicians will present to the public free of charge on December 15. Popular approval of the idea has made necessary the shifting of the performance from Central Ad auditorium to the Uni- versity auditorium and the event promises to be outstanding in the year s calendar. Similar concerts have received great acclaim in many cities. There was a day, years and years ago, when a Kansas student in search of amusement and relaxa- tion of an afternoon could go to one of a number of establishments in Lawrence and spend an hour or so in dancing to the strains of a (Continued on Page 161 ) 7 r DECEMBER CHRISTMAS AT THE STATE U.

What kind of a hole is this? demanded the Man with the Whiskers. Kansas University. And it ' s not a hole, it s a hill. snapped the Vatchman. The Man with the Whiskers pulled off his gloves, scattering snow all over the floor, and dug down in one enormous, scarlet coat-pocket. He drew forth a long paper, and scanned it with a frown. Kansas L niversity, he muttered, Kansas University. No . orders from here. Not even on the list. Why, there s just got to be an order from a place this size. No, said the Watchman. Well, why not? shrilled the Man with the Whis- kers, impatient now. Students are home for the Christmas holidays, replied the Watchman. Now you ' d better go. No, said the Man with the Whiskers, this is something new. Refreshing, kind of. A place with no Christmas spirit, eh? By golly, it would be a relief to go somewhere tonight where there isn ' t tinsel and tissue paper and red and green lights. I d like to look around. Say, said the Watchman, who do you think you are? ' I, said the Man with the Vhiskers, drawing himself up, am Santa Claus. Who? Santa Claus. You enrolled here? N YelI, it ain t according to rules, but I II take you around if you really want to go, sighed the Watch- man, getting to his feet. Come on. YeII. if this isn ' t the damndest place! said Santa Claus, softly. Outside it was a dry and biting kind of cold. The snow scrunched loudly under the two men ' s heels as they tramped across the silent campus. Going first and paying no attention to his visitor, the Watchman entered the Chemistry building. It was dark inside, but a streak of light showed under one of the doors. The Man with the Whiskers opened it and stepped inside. Before him, two boys bent over a table heaped with glass and littered with filter papers. Who are these poor souls? he asked. Oh, them, yawned the Vatchman. I dunno. I ' ve come in here all hours of the morning, year in and year out, and they ' re always here. Santa turned to the others. Don ' t you fellows know it ' s Christmas eve? he asked. One of the boys looked up. His eyes were glazed. Phosphorus! he mumbled. What ' s left after you take out the phosphorus? You don ' t understand, said Santa. It ' s Christ- mas! Yuletide! The time for laughter and good cheer! Arsenic. answered the student. Sodium, arsenic, zinc. Come on, grunted the Watchman, ' leave em alone. But this is the strangest thing I ve ever seen, said Santa. Everywhere else I go people are waiting for me. They have decorations up. They ' re happy and shouting, ' Merry Christmas. And here . . . Come on, interrupted the Vatchman, we can ' t waste time. Outside again, the two walked without speaking, swinging along briskly to keep warm. They had gone perhaps a hundred yards when Santa suddenly halted. ' Listen! he said. Chimes! Someone here has Christmas spirit for sure. Beautiful, aren ' t they? Chimes, the devil! ' the Vatchman grunted. That s that Fine Arts bunch up there. He nodded in the direction of a large yellow bailding looming on their right. Practicing, you mean? Yeah. But it ' s Christmas eve, man. Mister, ' said the Vatchman wearily. I ' ve watched these buildings year in, year out, for ten years or more . . . and not once, nor for one minute, has that sound stopped. Well, the Man with the Vhiskers shrugged, you gotta admit it sounded like chimes at first. As they proceeded across the snowy campus, the Watchman stopped momentarily at several dark buildings. Finally the Man with the Whiskers pointed ahead. Isn ' t that a light at the window? Yep. the other replied, that ' s the Gamma Phi house. Want to go over? Sure, said Santa, maybe they re expecting me. They walked nearer. Say. isn ' t that something hang- ing in the window? It looks like a ... No. I guess I was wrong. Santa blushed. Then he began to laugh a deep, low chuckle. VeII. I ' ll be dogged, he said. I ' ve looked at stockings tonight till I ' m bleary, but this is the first time I ' ve ever seen those things hung up on Christmas eve!

Rubaiyat XXV . AND there you have the reaction of a sizable por- tion of the student body to that quaint old K. U. custom of giving midsemesters. The profs spent several weeks recently in recalling to our minds a vast array of unpleasant knowledge which we should have mas- tered but weren ' t really able to find time for, what with Homecoming, football debacles at home and abroad, national and Hill elections, and the usual flood of what may be loosely termed cultural attrac- tions. Midsemester reports caused hard hearted upper- classmen in the organized houses to abruptly curtail the wide swath that certain pledges had been cutting in social affairs until said pledges get out of the red scholastically. Meanwhile the same actives, though their grades are probably no better, trip merrily along that primrose path that leads to the dean s office. Doubtless the most active and universal student interest these past few weeks has centered in the row raging over the dismal showing of the football team. Aided and abetted by an aroused student opinion, the Kansan has been sporadically dropping journalistic bombshells in the athletic office. The subdued rumble was brought into the open when Phog with his usual tact and discretion turned loose a verbal barrage on the body politic for their failure to arouse any appreciable enthusiasm for what he termed a football game. The daily assured our athletic department that whenever they saw fit to produce a team, we ' d all yell and until that time they needn ' t come to games with cotton in their ears. As the Kansan ' s crusade began to focus statewide attention upon the situation, the power of the press became apparent to the athletic management. Unwill- ing to bear a very searching scrutiny of athletic offers, Dr. Allen tried arbitration, but the Kansan had noth- ing to arbitrate. As a last resort he summoned the Kansan editors before the local Liberty League meet- ing at the Eldridge, at which time the business men who profit by a healthy interest in K. U. football, gently, but firmly, suggested that there be a cessation of hostilities. The meeting closed with Dr. Allen open- ing his mouth and putting his foot in it as usual. Meanwhile, distrusting the sincerity of the student body, he constituted his Red Shirts, a collegiate veterans ' organization, a militant minority to promote 100 per cent Jayhawkerism at the football games. Having at least partially shut up the collegiate press, the coaching staff has continued to lead its inex- perienced gridsters through a series of depressing defeats, which were each and every one exhibitions of a complete lack of the fundamentals of football and a good offensive spirit. Meanwhile the student body grumbles to itself and hopes for a thorough airing of the situation, and rumors reach the campus that the alumni are preparing a putsch on the athletic and university administrations in the hope that a thorough house cleaning will correct the present athletic impose. What they say: Phog Allen: School spirit in our University is fast becoming a thing of the past. After the K-State game; It was an off day. At the love feast at the Eldridge: I believe members of the Kansan staff should be taken from the game and substitutions made exactly as in football I predict that somebody is going to be surprised by the showing of the Kansas football team this year. The Kansan: The student body is, and always will be, more than willing to cooperate, to yell its lungs out of its own volition. Ad Lindsey: I believe the public wants to see open football, and as they pay the bills they are entitled to see what they are interested in. After the Iowa State game: I never saw a game with so many breaks against us. Campus Opinion: B. A. The athletic depart- ment must show some spirit before we will even speak to them, let alone cheer for them. A beer-drinking frat man: No one questions that this school does not have football material it has always had football material. SO WHAT? Clifford Hildreth: I am at least thankful that both coaches and players have several million times as much guts as those spineless rats at the Kansan office. . . . putting his foot in it as usual. DECEMBER N HAT Our rambling correspondent furnishes more comment on events humorous and serious in the daily student life William Allen White: A good team takes the students ' minds off their studies. Mayor Alfred Lawrence: Lawrence is the greatest football city in the middlewest. The Kansan Board: If popular sentiment should demand a complete revision of the athletic organiza- tion at the University, the Kansan Board will support such a movement. The Graduate A agazine: The alumni did not start the trouble we see the general situation getting slowly brighter as we look ahead. Second only to the interest in athletic inactivity was that in politics, of both national and campus varieties. Contrary to the verdict of the people, those students who voted in the A. S. U. poll, termed by Kansan edi- tor Gill a suspicious activity intended to be used for insidious and subversive purposes, endorsed the can- didacy of K. U. ' s distinguished graduate and Phi Gam alumnus, Alf Landon. The active brothers of the lodge, along with other University Republicans, held a torchlight parade in sub-freezing temperatures the night before election. The Democrats had their parade two nights later. The freshman election restored the balance of power in the Student Council to Pachacamac, which won three out of four of the offices. This victory makes the parties equally balanced in the Council with president John Phillips (Pachacamac) casting the deciding vote on issues of moment. The new alignment came shortly after a P. S. G. L. manifesto calling on the Pacha- carnacs to recognize the P. S. G. L. majority and inviting Pachacamac to join them in carrying out their program. Will P. S. G. L. be able to do the same for the boys of the rising sun? Of course eligibility reports based on midsemester grades may cause another upheaval. In the freshman women ' s election the girls after announcing results, recalled that they had forgotten to count the ballots in accordance with the provisions of the proportional representation system which they use. Arbitration brought forth the decision to hold another election. Like Christmas, Hallowe ' en comes but once a year, for which local property owners (known to history as the bourgeois) are devoutedly thankful. The Jay- walker noted with satisfaction that the campus kiddies were not too sophisticated to relieve themselves of an excess of animal spirits in the usual way. The tradi- tional stone barricade was enacted on the Kappa drive- relieved themselves in th way with a bonfire for illumination. The local fire laddies were called to battle the blaze and seemed somewhat surly at having their game of pinochle inter- rupted. Some ambitious group conceived the plan of transplanting the sanitary facilities on the new dormi- tory project to the Pi Phi front porch but got only to the Watkins hall steps before giving up. Various movables from the campus were piled near the west campus sorority houses, while chemical warfare was in order at the Crescent club. The next week-end brought Homecoming. The half- holiday, the house decorations, the parade, the flowing bowl were all up to par. Hobo Day was not up to those of previous years, seeming to fall short because of a lack of coordination and planning. Especially missed was the old-time downtown parade. The grave- yard theme was gruesomely prevalent in the decora- tions, although there seemed to be some popular mis- apprehension as to whose graveyard was being repre- sented. On Saturday afternoon the Nebraska team scrimmaged with Kansas. Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta and Watkins Hall drew down the prizes for decorations. The Homecoming Varsities served their usual purpose of keeping inebriated alumni off the streets. Under the heading of the finer things of life we have enjoyed The Rivals with Ethel Barrymore Colt, despite the atrocious acoustics of the auditorium. Emil Ludwig, the modern Plutarch, held forth under the same handicap, at which time we saw that all unin- telligent questions are not asked by students. Xovem- ber 12 the Juicy Ballot was the center of attraction. The hit of their performance was a terpsichorean effort entitled In Old Vienna. The same week the dramatics department scored (Continued on Page 162) JAYHAWKER BURY THE DEAD , , , , A review of the campus thespians ' first work of the season By ROBERT PEARSON SIX dead soldiers, who had been shot down to gain twenty-five yards of blood-soaked No Man ' s Land, rose up from their open grave during the chanting of the last prayer over their bodies, and refused to be buried. The captain pleaded with them to lie down, the general blustered and ordered them, the American business men screamed, For God ' s sake, DO some- thing! ; wives and sweethearts begged with all their power, but the dead men steadfastly refused to be buried. Such was the central idea of the sensational, modern anti-war play, Bury the Dead, by Irwin Shaw, presented from the ninth through the twelfth of November in Fraser Theater, by the Kansas Players and the K. LJ. Dramatic Club. The serious-minded, philosophic captain had been afraid for some time that something like this would happen. Even when the general and the press and the club women were all hysterically demanding that the six stubborn corpses lie down and allow them- selves to be buried, the captain said to the dead men, They can ' t bury you. No power this side of hell can bury you. That remark epitomizes the tremendous, moving theme of the drama. In the past, the war dead have always been buried, carrying with them into their shallow graves all their bitterness, their aban- doned aspirations, their lost ambitions. The war propagandists have told us how glorious it is to die for one ' s country. But we never heard it from those who actually died. Now, in this play, the dead arise to tell the real, bitter, horrible story. Ve learn for the first time that they did not want to die; they simply weren t ready to be buried. And because they refuse to lie down the real truth about war is out. Bury the Dead is by a youth and was presented in Fraser Theater by youths; that is significant. It is the youth that has to fight the next war that is realizing the truth about war. This truth has risen from the grave of obscurity to which it was assigned by the propa- gandists and no power this side of hell can bury it again. The unique method of presentation used in this play is important. The play is pure impressionism, and is presented by impressionism. I am utterly sick of student productions in which the curtain rises on quaintly costumed servants relating that the young master has but recently returned from the city with either a large debt or a new love affair. I am equally sick of slow-moving acts and scenes cluttered with slow-moving servant girls and country squires. Hence, I was delighted both with the sensational subject mat- ter of Bury the Dead and with the swift and ingenious method used in producing it. The scenes were shifted by flashing a light to some new part of the stage. Blackouts were employed instead of a curtain. Subtle, concise impressions were the aim. Often only the back of the main character in a scene was visible, as in the flash of the American Legion orator; often there was quick transition from place to place; sometimes intentional confusion was injected. But always the result was a single, enduring, overpowering impres- sion revulsion against war. Another innovation, very effectively used, was that the six dead men, the main characters, stood down in front of and facing the stage, near the audience. Thus they were constantly present. Regardless of the scene being enacted, their persistent, ominous forms were silhouetted silently against it. The striking effects of the play were achieved by the use of vivid details, presented with cruel frankness. Look, cries one of the burial detail, pointing into the open grave where the bodies have just been placed, that rat sure don ' t waste no time! Later, back in America, a newspaper editor kills the story of the dead men ' s refusing to be buried. Don ' t tell that to the public, he says; write em a human-interest story about how the boys sing ' Mother, I ' m Thinking. Dear, Of You ' just before they go over the top and the death lists take up a page and a half, so make it a filler for the second page. The climax of the play, where the mothers and sweethearts of the dead men talk with them and try to convince them to lie down and be buried, was considered by some to be the slowest part of the play; to me it was the most inter- esting. Up to that time the six dead men, with their backs to the audience, had been a representation of a single idea. Now they each told their own feelings; they became individuals. I remember vivid details here especially. Pathetically, one of the dead men refuses to be buried because he hasn ' t felt enough of the warm winds in the springtime or seen his fill of the dark earth turning before the plow. One of the women, talking to her dead husband, is still glad his hands weren ' t shot off she couldn ' t have stoo d that. A mother insists on her dead boy raising his lowered head so that she can see his face. He does so, but his jaw and eye had been blown out by a shell and the rats had gnawed at what remained. The mother col- lapses. The last wife, Mabel Webster, rants at her dead husband because, while he has gone and hired himself to be killed, she has to exist on mouldy, ground meat in a flat where the cockroaches run races on the wall. There was humor enough in the (Continued on Page 164) This scene jroni the Dramatic Club presentation, Bury The Dead ' is an excellent example of the type of stagecraft employed to make the play striking in its impressionism. Dimly visible in the foreground are the soldiers who refused to be buried, striking the note predominant throughout the production. JAYH AWKER PROMINENT PRDFESSQRS , FOUR-SCORE and ten years ago our great grand- fathers went to college; decided that professors were crammed with much knowledge which was good theory, poor practice. Nineteen hundred thirty-six descendants of those 1846 students have carried on with the tradition; stand firm in the belief that the wolves would devour any college professors who might attempt to make a living outside their classrooms and research labora- tories. Come now three professors who, should they resign as university pedagogues, could forfend the wolves and pay the bill collectors. These three are Jens P. Jensen, authority on public finance; VaIter H. Schoewe, geologist; and J. F. Brown, author and psychologist. For instance, Jens Peter Jensen, native of Denmark, gives advice to the state of Kansas on problems of taxation, public revenues, and tax collections. In February, 1955, he was a member of the commission which surveyed the state government of Oklahoma and its system of public finance. Frank Marland, then Sooner g overnor-elect, proposed the plan that caused this commission to be organized. Since 1925, Mr. Jensen has written the annual report of progress in the fields of land and public taxation and corporation and bank taxation for the American Yearbook. For the Tax Research Foundation (under the New York Tax Commission), he prepares the Kansas charts to indicate the status of tax law and legislation in this state. Since 1920, Mr. Jensen has been a member of the National Tax Association, has been Kansas ' delegate to its annual conventions, and has served three years on the association ' s executive committee. Too, he was for a time an associate editor of the association ' s offi- cial Bulletin. Dr. Jens P. ]ensen Under the auspices of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Jensen, with Harold Howe, pro- fessor of agricultural economics at Kansas State Col- lege, Manhattan, prepared Tax Studies in Thirteen Lessons. Distributed by the sponsors, these lessons were used in study clubs and civic organizations of the state for adult education in public finance. Among the books which Mr. Jensen has written are A Text in Public Finance, Property Taxation in the United States, The Tax System in Colorado, and Government Finance. He has contributed articles to the Annals of the American Association of Social and Political Economy, Law and Contemporary Events (published by Duke University), American Economic Review and Journal of Political Economy. Especially noteworthy is the fact that Mr. Jensen has done all of this work in thirty-one years. Born of a Swedish father and a Danish mother on April 8, 1885, twenty-one-year-old Jens Jensen left Denmark in 1905. Son of a poor family, he had to terminate his common school education in the eighth grade to work on the farm and then to learn the creamery trade. Landing in the United States with only his trades- man ' s knowledge, he journeyed to Minnesota, got a job. But by 1907 he left his job, went to Mitchell, South Dakota, where he enrolled in the academy and college of Dakota Vesleyan University, graduated with an A. B. degree in 1915. His alma mater hon- ored him with an honorary doctor of laws degree only last spring. In 1917, he received his A. M. degree from the University of Minnesota; his Ph. D. degree from the University of Chicago in 1926. Since 1919, Mr. Jensen has been associated with the University of Kansas. He has taught in two sum- mer sessions at the University of Vest Virginia. In 1950-51, he was given leave of absence to do a year ' s work on research in government finance of counties. He did this work at the University of Chicago. Married, Mr. Jensen has one daughter. His hobby is traveling, and he has been in three-fourths of the states of the United States and in all but two of the Canadian provinces. He returned for his first visit to Denmark in 1926, visiting also Scotland, England, Norway and Sweden. He is a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, and the University club. The most tedious three months in his life, he says, were spent in the Student Army Training Corps at the University of Minnesota in 1918. Previous to his enlistment he was statistician and economist for the food administration under the then Secretary of Commerce, Hoover. Second of these professors is VaIter H. Schoewe, whose duties in the geology department of the Univer- DECEMBER These men do not confine their activities to the classroom Dr. . F. Brown sity of Kansas claim only a part of His time, as he is also geologist for the Kan- sas State Survey. Mr. Schoewe was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Jan- uary ' 15, 1891; lived there until he com- pleted his public school education and went to the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, where he received his A. B. degree in 1914. his M. S. in 1915. Five years later, in 1920, he received his Ph. D. degree from the University of Iowa. He began his profession as a teacher in 1918-1919 when he worked as instructor in military mapping for the Student Army Training Corp at the University of Iowa. That same year he instructed in that university s geology department. In 1919-20, he taught in the Colorado School of Mines, then came to the Uni- versity of Kansas, where he has since been associated with the Department of Geology. Although Dr. Schoewe ' s major interest lies in the field of glacial geology, his work is not confined to it alone. At present he is working on three manuscripts which are to be published for the Kansas Geologic Survey. These are Oil and Gas Resources of Vcstern Kansas, The Geology of Donipnan and Brown Coun- ties (Kansas), and Vater Supplies of Jefferson County. He has contributed articles to The Journal of Geol- ogy, The. American Journal of Science, Science, The Pan-American Geologist, The Transactions of the Kansas .Academy of Science, and The Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science. He has also written two works for use in the college classroom Assign- ments, Lecture Outlines and Review for Elementary Physical Geology; and Laboratory Manual for Physi- cal Geology. His doctor ' s thesis was published by the Iowa Geologic Survey. Indicative of Dr. Schoewe ' s ability is his member- ship on the Committee on Sedimentation of the National Research Council. One of his chief interests is his work in the Kansas Academy of Science, of which he is second vice-president. As chairman of the Committee on Kansas Ecology and Natural Areas (conservation), he is trying to establish a national monument near Minneapolis. Kansas, where are sit- By J. HUBERT ANDERSON uated certain geologic features to make that location worthy of such consideration. For eleven years Dr. Schoewe has been an elder of the Presbyterian Church. He is a fellow of the Geolog- ical Society of America and of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science; member of the Kansas Academy of Science and of the Iowa Academy of Science; secretary of the Kansas Chapter of Sigma Xi; and member of Sigma Gamma Epsilon. national professional geology fraternity, and of Gamma Alpha, national scientific fraternity. He is also a director of the Kiwanis Club. Dr. Schoewe is married and has a four-year-old daughter, who, he says, is very observing for her years. Anything that lives and grows outdoors or is located there attracts him. He likes to travel every- where to see what I can see. A trip is most enjoyable to him if it includes motoring, camping, hiking and fishing. Dr. Schoewe is not so absorbed with his work that he does not regret being unable to know his pupils better. He feels keenly the lack of opportunity to become acquainted with his students; wants them to know that professors are just as human as anybody else and just as interested in the students themselves. He believes, too, that the system employed to grade students work is outmoded: hopes for the day when it will be improved. Then there is Dr. J. F. Brown, associate professor of psychology, who authors books and does significant work in psychological research. Just now he is absorbed in the research program of psychopathology being carried on by the Menninger Clinic in Topeka. Born in Denver on August 5. 1902, Dr. Brown lived there until he went to ale for his A. B. degree, which (ConJimJ on Page 1621 Dr. W. H. Schoewe I ......

The actual celebration started at nine o ' clock Fri- day morning when the Hobos met in front of the Memorial Union Building. Apparently, the hour was a bit early for the late risers, as the number of Hobos present at first was hardly creditable; however, as the rally advanced, the quantity increased in proportion to the importance of each event. From the Union build- ing, the Hobos snake-danced to Fowler s Grove, gave vent to a few lusty cheers, and then flocked to the Auditorium for the main rally. The excitement here threatened to become a riot, but it received restriction when the football team was introduced by Coach Ad Lindsey. Bursts of applause followed each suc- cessive introduction, especially those in which the player stepped forth to the microphone to give vent to (Continued on Page 164) fge a - JAYHAWKER HILL HEADLINERS , , . , , The jayhawker presents on these pages the first group of our selections as the outstanding members of the student body Biographies by JIM PORTER ACTIVITY WOMAN. Chief office holder on the Hill award goes to Betty Tholen. Born in Leaven- worth, Kansas, on May 1, 1916, Betty attended grade school in her home town. The next three years of her education were received in the Principia Christian Science School in St. Louis. Her sophomore and junior years of high school were obtained at Clayton High, also in St. Louis. Then back to Leavenworth for a year to finish up high school and then off to the state U. Miss Tholen affiliated with Kappa Kappa Gamina sorority her first year here and then started off on an activity career. In her three and a half years here, she has held eight offices. Miss Tholen is president of the Mortar Board, national senior honor organization for women; national president of Phi Sigma Chi, pep sorority with chapter at Kansas State, Nebraska, and here; president of Jay Janes; treasurer of the Christian Science club; treasurer of Kappa Kappa Gamma; was secretary of the sophomore class; was point- manager of XV.S.G.A. last year; and this fall was one of five vice-presidents of the Young Republican Club of K.U. She is also a member of the Y.W.C.A.; the Quack Club; Delta Phi Delta, honorary art society; and an honorary member of W.S.G.A. After her graduation from the fine arts School this spring, Miss Tholen hopes to get a tea in public school art. It is her sincere belief wjst all University women should get into more ities of one sort or another and have an active in something beside books. Miss Tholen ' s fine scholar ship record shows that both can be done. THESPIAN. Arch villian or valiant hero, you will find Martin Maloney capable to fill either part. Born in Newton, Kansas, September 10, 1915, he tarried there long enough to graduate from grade school. Then to Kansas City, Missouri, where for the next six years he was busy at Rockhurst High and then college. Coming to Mount Oread last fall, Maloney quickly found the Jayhawker stage to his liking was engaged in all types of dramatic produc has had leads in Ten Minute Alibi, of Leave Man, and has been cast in Fal and ' Bury the Dead. Not only is Maloney as an actor, but also as a playwright. His Comes for the Poet was presented over KFKU and Enter Johnny, another play from his pen, was pre- sented at the New Mexico Normal University by the Koshari players. Last year he won the Carruth Poetry Award of sixty dollars and was second in the nation- wide Harper ' s Essay Contest. Oratorically, he is again one of the top men on the campus. He won last year the Missouri Valley Oratorical contest, the Fifth Annual Kansas University Oratorical contest, the Kansas State Peace Oratorical contest, and placed sec- ond in the Missouri Valley Extemporaneous contest. Maloney ' s record of offices is probably unprece- dented. He heads three organizations: Rhadaman thi, Newman Club, and National Collegiate Players. He is secretary of the Dramatic Club and a member of Sigma Delta Rho, debate fraternity. Is it any won- der that he was named as one of five candidates from the University for the Rhodes Scholarship award? Maloney will graduate from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences this spring and then plans to go into the law school here. His ambition is to become a criminal lawyer. Doubtless he will succeed. It is his belief that modern plays just off of Broadway such as Bury the Dead would do much to improve the dramatic situation here. BEAUTY.

It is her belief that beauty queens on the Hill should not be chosen for beauty alone, but for personality, grace, charm, wit, and other such attributes. It is sufficient to say that Miss Stevens was not chosen on looks alone. STUDENT-ATHLETE. An athlete and a scholar. That phrase typifies the character of Emil Wienecke better than could any other. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, October 23. 1Q16, he attended Central High School, where he began a career that was to follow him into college. He lettered in football, playing halfback, and was fourth in scholarship in his graduating class of slightly less than a thousand. Coming into the University as a freshman, he was pledged to Beta Theta Pi social fraternity. Busy with freshman football, he still got fifteen hours of A his first semester and a B in gymnasium. Now after two years of work behind him his grades stand: fifty- seven hours of A; ten hours of B. And this is in the engineering school where grades are earned, not given away. He was presented the Sigma Tau medal award for the best grades in the freshman engineering class. He is on the engineering council now as representative of the junior class, and a member of the K Club and Owl Society. Wienecke is a regular on the football team, playing in the backfield. Nine times out of ten Coach Ad Lindsey will call on him to start the game. But he does not intend to make football a Business. He plans to go into some phase of the producing end of the oil business. Though not in favor of an out-and-out salary to football players, Wienecke does believe that it would be a good idea if the University could pay the tuition and fees of players. He cites cases of many gridmen who have to work in addition to the hard grind of a gruelling two to three-hour practice each day, and who are too tired to apply themselves when they have time to study. JOURNALIST. Born in Atoka, Oklahoma (175 miles southeast of Oklahoma City for those who don ' t know their geography), William Gill got out of there at the age of nine, moving to Oklahoma City. He went to Classen High School and then to Oklahoma City University before coming to the University three years ago. W r ith the grace of God and twenty-eight hours he will abandon K.

He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and a major in journalism. hire plans are still somewhat indefinite, though f his plans has already started to materialize with nnoiffl ement that Sara ValIace, a Tri Delt at the ersitjr of Oklahoma, is now wearing his Phi Gam wil| work on a newspaper when in possession e hairo jvorked-for sheepskin and someday hopes n a metropolitan sheet. His advice to those inter- in journalism follows: The Daily Kansan has :rous opportunities to offer any student who plans Mirer rlte journalistic field when he graduates. I think it would be a good idea for every student, no matter what his major, who plans to enter the news- paper business to work sometime or other during his college career on the staff of the Kansan. XJj G BETTY THOLEN MARTIN MALONEY s p A N B MARIE STEVENS A U EMIL WIENECKE BILL GILL DECEMBER CAMPUS PDLYLDGIA DISCOVERS: Some interesting highlights in the things that happen after dark By OCR MR. PEEPYS BACK again with our second issue and lots of nasty dirty cracks about people and things. Well, maybe not too nasty or too dirty, but just the same they ' re cracks. Suppose we might as well start out telling about the rumored marriage of Rover Barclay, D. U., and Sally Jo Demsey, at the Pi Phi lodge. It seems as though some insurance man got a hold of Rover ' s name from the court records and wanted to see his wife and him have a nice load of insurance to make a happy home for all of their chil- dren. From what the boys at Rover ' s domicile have to say about it, reports seem to pan out, for not only insur- ance men have been calling but jewelry salesmen and furniture dealers have had their turn, too. Maybe a high chair for Rover, Jr. Fred Pralle and Grandpa Green, of the Delt lodge, gave the boys a little enter- tainment the other night when they ventured back to the house from the Pale Blue Room at Wiedemann ' s. They proceeded warily up the stairs, opened the dormi- tory doors quitely, and then gave a good rousing cheer for all their brothers. Although their effort didn t seem to be appreciated, it really shows that the boys had the spirit. Eddie Rice and Bill Kandt, University fashion plates, did a little carousing not so many Saturday nights ago just to show that they, too, were human. Scene Street Car R. and M. No. 2.

A prominent Greek shows advantages for both sorority and non-sorority women THE question of the worth ana right of sororities on college campuses today has gained nation- wide interest. On some campuses, very determined and certain action has been taken to abolish them per- haps this was due to the ever-blamed depression. Before any decision can be reached a fair and com- prehensive comparison must be made of both the sorority and non-sorority girl, the advantages or dis- advantages of either life, and the life after college. It all began in 1870 when a society was first formed for women with all of the characteristics of the sorori- ties of today the secret order, a ritual, a Greek name, a badge for external display, oaths of fidelity, a training period for the members, a bond of sisterhood, and a background of high ideals for the improvement of its members. There had been societies of a similar kind before, with some of these distinctions; but as with every thing else, sororities formed from trials to appease the desire for secret orders. Vomen, the least-confident and carefully guarded sex, by the mores of generations before, have always formed groups whenever possible. This is probably the foundation of the system of organized houses the closer friendships of women, common interests and the need of protection. These are all insured greater success, when a group lives nine months of the year with others of the same age. Vhen both sides, sorority and non-sorority, are considered, advantages for both are found. It is true that chapter houses have influence on character. It fosters pride of organization and social discipline, for it is the home for awhile and it is only natural to want to be able to bring guests there with pride. They take personal pride in it, for the members are doing their share in maintaining it. And true to popular belief, there is always a strong appeal to a woman in a secret order to know that they are members of an organization, in which, they believe, only girls of the highest character are members. The greatest hidden value of a sorority is learning to get along with people. Most of the members come from their homes, spoiled somewhat and used to hav- ing their own way. To change from this, to a home with, say, forty other girls, who are just as determined, demands taking account, adjusting themselves, and to see others ' viewpoint. The main disadvantage of a sorority is the way that it reacts on some members. An attitude of superiority and exclusiveness may result. They assume for them- selves the reputation which other members have estab- lished for the chapter through hard work and real interest, instead of a dull sense of feeling nothing By FRANCES WARE more can be done to build up the chapter. Their sorority pin may be the only mark of distinction that they gain in their college career. Members should always remember that they will get out of a sorority just what they put into it. It may mean everything to them while they are in school, but after that, it will mean less and less, except to certain individuals who really have the spirit and will work to keep the organi- zation alive. A startling realization will come that the outside world does not care whether they belonged to a Greek organization or not; even if they could lay undue importance on it while they were in school, it does not count for much in the business world. This assumption of superiority is, without doubt, due somewhat to the attitude taken by the fraternities. It is a well-known fact, that many fraternities as a whole, want their members to date sorority girls. This may be due to a common bond of fraternal interest, but this is very doubtful. Every girl wishes to be popu- lar, and if because she is a member of an organized group with national standing, she therefore is con- sidered from the beginning as superior. Most of the advantages offered by a sorority can be found elsewhere by the non-sorority girls. She may have to work more, and have a harder task, because there is no definite group sponsoring her, or she may feel that there is a stigma attached to the fact that she is only on the edge of a Greek-controlled world. But if she escapes this feeling, she may be prouder of her accomplishments. To do this, she must get out and meet people perhaps not have as many close friends, but many acquaintances. She does not have prescribed schedules, daily activities, do s and don ' ts. From the beginning, although it may be hard, she must decide her own problems, and know that she can rely upon herself. The disadvantage here lies in the fact that the non- affiliated woman may oftentimes not have as many close friends as she might like; she may feel left out in many things, in which only the organized houses par- ticipate. The first few weeks on any campus are lonely and readjustment is slow. Here the sorority fills a very important capacity by backing a girl to see that she gets along in the right track from the very beginning. It is necessary for living expenses to be higher for sorority girls. They control and operate a house, giving their own parties and other social functions. A girl must pay for all of the benefits which the group (Continued on Page J63) Third Row: Young. Dornmn. Englehardt. Home, Heaps. L.irlirtrt. Harbaugh. Second Row: Blue. Nicholson. Ware. Pope.

NIGHTSHIRTS DN PARADE The ibulists ch in I ' HE Nightshirt Parade might be called the semes- J_ ter ' s master display of K.Uism. Unusual in the fact that 2.500 students wore themselves out snake dancing, cheering, marching, and jostling each other about from seven in the evening until one in the morning in the most colorful display of men s night- wear ever assembled inside of three city blocks, this year ' s parade was held the night before the Oklahoma game. School spirit was displayed in no uncertain terms from the time the parade was organized in front of the Union building, where it succeeded in breaking up the banquet for the visiting high school journalists long before the program was completed, until it ended after the last foot of the last reel of the last movie. Vith the help of a maximum number of bombs set off by Sergeant Roy. and many bright colored flares in the hands of the Ku Kus. the Jay Janes finally started down Mt. Oread at the head of K. U. ' s martial legions in the full war dress, namely pajamas. Four abreast and yelling like mad they marched down the rough brick pavement to Seventh Street, where they turned in the general direction of Massa- chusetts Street. As they passed under each street light they broke ranks and went into anything from a dance of spring to a funeral dirge, just anything to show off their seldom displayed personal wardrobes. At Vermont Street the Ku Kus formed the revelers into a single column and started the snake dance that climaxes the annual parade. It was not long before seats and sleeves were missing from a number of the bunny-snuggies, to say nothing of injuries like sprained ankles, wrists, backs, and other less protected parts of the anatomy. TTie snake dancers turned down Massachusetts Street, increasing in speed, magnitude, and color at every step, until it became almost impossible for the onlookers to keep out of the way of this intellectual herd from off the Hill. The line was broken frequently More than twenty-five hundred students participate in the annual display of snake dancing, enthusiasm and nightwear By VIRGIL MITCHELL but the ruffians always managed to get connected again. Ku Kus stood along the line trying to keep the dancers out in the street, but as they had been robbed of their paddles they were helpless. Garbs were not limited to pajamas alone. Some of the more unique ones consisted of nightshirts sal- vaged from the hospital, shorts of different lengths and hues, nightcaps made of everything from hand- kerchiefs to divers parts of female attire, and here and there a cotton flannel one-piecer from the gay days before twin beds. At the end of the line was a tall, drouth-stricken lad from western Kansas shooting a revolver into the air and trying to keep his pastel-blue pajama-clad legs under him at the same time. With a cry of swing it the snake dance ended at South Park, where everyone gathered round the huge bonfire, chanted the Crimson and the Blue, and lis- tened to Bill Townsley and the band. After so much of this. Al Green, representing the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, read a speech, Mike Ghetto said a word or two. Ad Lindsey said all he could say without saying anything, and Phog Allen asked for the same display of spirit at the game on the following day. During this display of the big shots. Sergeant Col- lander had been rationing the cider, doughnuts and apples, which now claimed the attention of the ever- hungry undergrads. They rushed the sergeant until he lost his temper and had to give his club away to lessen the danger of outright murder. After the rations gave out the cherubs were getting cold and shivery, so they headed for the free shows. With an average amount of apple throwing and wise cracks directed towards the sightseers, they reached their destinations. Once inside of the theatres they started all over again with Are we gonna beat the Sooners? and as many Hell yes s ' as the now raw throats could mus- ter. Parts of the show could be heard, but for the most part everyone was busy hissing the villain and it seemed that even the hero had his bad moments. And so ended the nightshirt parade. School spirit was rampant everywhere, despite the flying-squadron having had its paddles clipped. Even the cops and natives had a good time since it vas evident that vandalism no longer ran through the veins of the K. U. roughies. Everyone went home and either went to bed or started getting ready for the next day. Sixtn Row.- Gregg. Hoke. Hildreth, Lawrence. Denison, Welsh, Lebrerhl. Fi ifi Ro..- Krauss. Slaymaker. Holmes.

President Sam Kimole DECEMBER ARE WE GDNNA BEAT-? ; or A Bosky Bosky Bow Wou? for good old Misty ' on, fellows, pleaded the Siwash cheer- leader. Show your pep. Yell! A gloomy Siwash student looked at the Scoreboard. State 26, Siwash 0, it said. Yell! Keep the old chatter up! screamed the cheerleader. Vhy? asked the gloomy student, and nobody could think of an answer. Misty Larson called the Siwash Daily Clarion after the game. Misty was the coach. They called him Misty because he always went around in a fog. Now Misty didn ' t know he was offering an alibi, because he was an A-l rationalizer. He automatically and quite unconsciously excluded the coaching staff when he started wondering what old Siwash ' s trouble was. He knew he had the answer this time. Old Siwash, he told the editor triumphantly, has no School Spirit. This discovery was really very quick work on Misty ' s part, since it was only last year that the student council, after lengthy committee meetings and discussions in council, had decided that School Spirit at old Siwash wasn ' t what it used to be. This was also quite a feat, so the council members voted them- selves gold keys and built a new room to meet in. Then the S Club brawny lettermen of old Siwash refused to have any more to do with enforcing the traditions of the school. The editor of the Clarion seemed to sense that Misty s proclamation didn t represent a great deal of original thought, and anyway he was quite a hand to josh people, so he wrote editorials which proved quite conclusively that old Siwash had a superabund- ance of School Spirit. Next week, when most of the people walked out at the half, the score was Teachers ' College 31, Siwash 0. The gloomy student that wanted to know why he should yell stayed home that day, but five or six others began asking Why? when the cheerleader exhorted the m to yell, and pretty soon everybody was asking everybody else Vhy? and nobody could think of an answer. The cheerleader got pretty desper- ate and came up into the stands, and told the students of old Siwash to yell. Why? they asked him. School Spirit! he told them, but that didn ' t satisfy a lot of them. The cheerleader told a Clarion reporter after the game that there was no School Spirit. He was a week behind, because Misty told the paper that old Siwash just had an off day. You really can ' t blame a cheerleader for being a week or so behind, because they keep very busy seeing that everyone has lots of pep, and keeps up the old chatter for old Siwash, and they have careers to look forward to, like growing up to lead peppy songs for the old Rotary Club. Next week was Homecoming. Old Siwash came up for the game with Kalamazoo, traditional rivals, with a perfect record of defeats. To insure lots of pep for the game, they had a big parade, and everyone worked themselves into a state of frenzy. Misty had been growling because the students didn ' t seem very enthused about the annual Green Diaper parade. Every year for a long time the students had put on green diapers and marched around town, obediently making a lot of noise and carrying torches. The townspeople looked forward to the parade much as you look forward to a trip to the zoo to see the simians. The school s publicity director would take a lot of pictures, write things about School Spirit, and send them to the newspapers. It made swell advertising for the game. They always elected a Homecoming Queen who rode at the head of the parade attended by the big, brawny S men, and the cheerleader would scream, Are we gonna beat Kala- mazoo? and the students would obediently roar, HELL YES! although everybody knew damn well they wouldn t. The parade had its instructions about what streets i t should march down, and how every- body should start walking like wooden-legged sailors when they got on Main street where the crowds were, so everybody could see a demonstration of School Spirit. Oh, it was all very spontaneous. Vhat had Misty worried was that somehow the students didn ' t act like they got much fun out of it, and interest dropped off. It looked for awhile like they wouldn t have it, but Misty pleaded with them to put on the old traditional green diapers and get out there and walk like wooden-legged sailors so the team would know the students were in back of ' em. This was very moving, so the students donned their green diapers, and paraded around so everyone could see them. They built a big bonfire, and practically everybody made a speech before it was over. The cheerleader announced that everybody wanted Misty to make a speech. The students didn ' t want to hear Misty speak any more than they vanted to hear a temperance speech, but they knew what was expected of them all right. They started chanting, WE WANT MISTY! WE WANT MISTY! and sure enough, pretty soon Misty got up and waved his hands and told them how much he and the team appreciated this fine exhibition of spontaneous School Spirit, and how the boys on the team were goin out there tomorrow and fight their hearts out for ol ' Siwash by gum. The cheerleader thought this was a fine speech. He ' d been in school only three years, so he ' d heard the (Continued on Page J63) Dlvens goes up for a pass in the Homecoming game against Nebraska THE DEPRESSION DF 1936 One of the most disastrous football seasons in Kansas gridiron history sees the Jayhawkers winning a single game By H. M. MASON, JR. GIVING their all in the season ' s final game but finding it not enough, the Kansas football team concluded a disastrous season Thanksgiving Day, going down to defeat before their ancient rival, Mis- souri, 19 to 3. One game won, one tied and six lost was the record of the courageous, green team which fought to the last but found the opposition entirely too strong. Primed to make the supreme effort against Missouri, the Jayhawkers astounded sports fans by leading the Tigers at the half, 3-0. In the second half the out- manned, outweighed Jayhawks were gradually beaten down and the final score was a 19-3 victory for Missouri, but the courage of the Kansas team won much admiration. Following their victory over Vashburn in the open- ing game of the season, the Jayhawkers traveled to Ames, Iowa, to do battle with the Iowa State Cyclones. The air-minded Cyclones turned out to be rude hosts, sending their guests home on the short end of a 21-7 score. Vasting no time, Iowa State rushed over two touchdowns in the first quarter and retained the lead throughout the rest of the game. Kansas ' touchdown came in the third period and was scored by Dave Shirk, sophomore fullback who played the remainder ot the season at end. Trailing by seven points, the Jayhawkers took to the air in the final period only to have one of their flips intercepted by an Iowa State end, who raced across the goal line for the final touchdown of the game. The Jayhawkers fought hard but were overwhelmed by the dazzling aerial attack of the Ames team who tossed the ball here, there and everywhere. The Cyclones ball-advancing tactics were as disturbing to the Jayhawkers as they were thrilling to the spectators. Kansas chalked up its touchdown early in the third quarter following some hectic action. Kansas recovered an Iowa State fumble on the Cyclones ' 35-yard line and then in turn lost the ball on a fumble. However when Iowa State tried to punt out of danger, several Kansas linemen blocked the kick so that Kansas had a first down on their opponents 16-yard line. Shirk picked up three yards at left tackle and then Hapgood, diminutive halfback, sliced through the other side of the line for a first down on the 5-yard stripe. From this point Shirk blasted through for a touchdown. Oklahoma was the Jayhawkers ' foe on Kansas Field, October 17. The Sooners, looking forward to a game with Nebraska the next week-end, tallied twice in the first half and then retired into their shell. The Jayhawkers threatened on several occasions but were never quite able to reach pay dirt. Kansas started well, with two first downs in suc- cession, but Oklahoma took the ball on a Kansas lateral that went astray. After the Sooners had punted, H a p good heaved a long pass which fell into the hands of Con krigh t, crack Okla- Vogel, Ward, Divens, Wallace Gearhart, Loughmiller, Green, Shirk ' Richardson, Masoner, Cannady, Harrington Hardacre, Seigle, Eichen, Hanson DECEMBER 1936 Material for future Kansas teams, the 1956 freshman squad homa center, who ran 40 yards For a touchdown. Merrell scampered 38 yards on an off-tackle play in the second quarter to run the Sooners point total to 14. This second touchdown apparently aroused the ire of the Jayhawkers for they proceeded to make their most determined drive of the day. The Oklahoma kickoff was returned to the Kansas 53-yard line and on the second play Divens, sophomore halfback, fired a pass to Giannangelo good for 35 yards and a first down on the Sooner 34-yard line. Three plays pro- duced two first downs and placed the ball on the 1 1 -yard stripe but a pass was intercepted and the drive was halted. The final score was the same as the score at the half, 14-0 for Oklahoma. Another chapter in the long and heated rivalry between Kansas and Kansas State was written October 24 when the two elevens clashed at Man- hattan. The superiority of the ViIdcat team was born out in the 26-6 victory it achieved. Kansas, seemingly destined to be shut out, saved itself with a touchdown in the last 50 seconds of play. The Jayhawkers ' blocking and tackling in this game was noticeably deficient, while the Wildcat blockers put on a remarkable exhibition. The Kansas State blocking time and again shook loose the shifty backs. Avers and Cleveland. In the first eight minutes the Wildcats scored twice and later they added touchdowns in the second and third quarters. Cleveland, an outstanding broken-field runner, scored three of Kansas State ' s four touchdowns and the smashing Elder a c - counted for the other. Finally, in the last few minutes of elson, Bosilevac, Stapleton all, Wienecke, Giannangelo. Moreland Jurnett, Replogle, Lutton, Anderson lapgood, Boardman, Paronto. Douglass play, the Jayhawkers passing attack clicked to prevent Kansas from being shut out. Hapgood passed to Replogle for 1 3 yards and then lofted one to Shirk good for 40 yards. With less than a minute to play Kansas crossed the Wildcats up by having Replogle pass to Hapgood, a toss which was good for 13 yards and a touchdown. The following week-end Kansas played an overrated Arizona team to a scoreless tie. The western team which had come heralded as the exponents of a daz- zling brand of offensive football showed virtually no offensive at all and also had lapses defensively. Until the last few minutes of the game Arizona was never inside the Kansas 33-yard line. With about four minutes to play, Arizona got off the outstanding play of the game when the interception of a Kansas pass was followed by three laterals. This carried the ball to the Kansas 31 -yard line but Kansas took the ball on downs on the 24-yard line. Arizona made only four first downs during the game. The Jayhawker offense was such as to put Kansas in scoring territory on several occasions but as in other games a scoring punch was lacking. In the third quarter Kansas drove to Arizona s 6-yard line but this drive came to naught when an attempted field goal failed. On three occasions Kansas reached the Arizona 25-yard stripe only to have its offense bog down. Nebraska s mighty Cornhuskers roared into tow-n November 7 and dazzled a Kansas homecoming crowd with a titanic demonstration of strength. The big red football machine rolled up a score of 26-0 in the first half and the reserves maintained that lead in the second half although they were unable to increase it. The first half was all Nebraska. The heavy, rugged and aggressive Cornhusker eleven, one of the greatest teams to ever set foot on Kansas Field, scored after ten minutes of play and before the second quarter was half over the score had been increased to 20-0.

D, Havenhill BACK in 1885 the School of Pharmacy was organized merely as a department originating as an offspring of the chemistry division. Lucius E. Sayre was called from Philadelphia to head the department, which at that time was accommodated in two or three rooms in the chemistry building. In the course of a few years, the department outgrew its quarters and was given the east and northeast base- ments of the chemistry building, which had been excavated and equipped for pharmacy students. Seven years later, the department was transformed into a school of the University vith Professor Sayre as its dean. Dean Sayre was a man of national repu- tation in the pharmacy field, and under his guidance, the K.U. school advanced to become one of the eighteen pharmacy schools in the United States with an A ranking. For the next forty years, Daddy Sayre, as he was known to students, acted as its director and, in the course of his long career, rendered invaluable service to the school and to the University. He died in 1928 and L. D. Havenhill became dean of the School of Pharmacy. Dean Havenhill is a quiet, sincere man who impresses one with his friendliness. He is a representa- tive from Kansas to the National Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation and is one of the authors of the National Pharmacopoeia. He has been a member of the faculty since 1899, during which time he has made notable contributions to the school and has been instrumental in bringing about many improvements. The school is divided into three major divisions in order to meet the needs of students who wish to enter a certain field of pharmacy: the commercial, for those who plan to engage in retail pharmacy; the pre- By G. ROCKWELL SMITH medical, for those who wish to enter the medical school after completing the pharmaceutical require- ments; and the scientific, for preparation in the spe- cialized fields of biological chemistry and drug- analysis. Until the student is a senior, he is not given any actual experience in filling prescriptions, which in recent years has almost become secondary to knowing how to sell a hot-water bottle and make chicken-salad sandwiches. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors must fill prerequisite courses in mathematics, chemistry, rhetoric and elementary pharmaceutical subjects before they are given the experience of filling standard prescriptions under registered pharmacists for Vatkins Hospital and Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City. The preceding years are spent in learning the different drugs and medicinal substances, their combinations, and the plants from which they are derived. The stu- dent must become an expert microscopist, in addition to having working knowledge of the specialized sciences as applied to pharmacy. The State of Kansas is taking no chances that the men who decipher the so-called chicken tracks which a doctor scribbles upon a prescription blank are going to compound arsenic instead of baking soda from a lack of knowledge or training. Not so long ago college experience was considered unnecessary to become a pharmacist. One could work for a period of time with a registered pharmacist, take an examination in some obscure school, go before the state board and receive credit for all subjects in which he passed. He was also permitted to take examinations after a short time over the subjects failed. Then if he again failed, he could apply for an apprentice ' s license and work under a licensed pharmacist. Now a student must have four years of college work in an approved school in order to obtain a license, as apprentices ' licenses have been cibolished.

U. stu- dents, another fresh- man election has come and gone. VhiIe the eyes of everyone were of necessity focused on the national political struggle raging throughout the coun- try, the freshmen con- ducted their own quiet little fracas right 11 iHBH here on the campus a flurry within the tempest, as it were. However, in this case a Kansan won. In fact it was a cinch. Only Kansans were running for office. As is customary, the offices were divided between the men and the women. The women elected the vice- president and secretary, while the men provided the president, treasurer and two dance managers. The men ' s election assumed particular significance this year in that the freshman presidency carried with it the balance of power in the Men s Student Coun- cil. Unlike former years, the freshman president is no longer simply a figurehead, but under the recent amendment to the Council ' s constitution has voting power in that group. And as the Council was evenly divided between both major parties P. S. G. L. and Pachacamac were vitally interested. Both parties immediately set up freshman organi- zations and carefully announced that their organiza- tions were controlled and directed entirely by fresh- By PAUL MORITZ men. The usual charges of upperclass and fraternity domination were bandied, but the campaign as a whole lacked the pyrotechnic displays and bitterness of last year ' s struggle. Throughout the campaign both freshman parties showed an intense and businesslike attitude which demonstrated their desire for victory. Feeling that at last they could accomplish some- thing in student government, both organizations set up ambitious platforms. Among the optimistic pro- posals were such desirable features as a freshman honor society and pep clubs, proportional representa- tion, and extra-curricular activities bureau, freshman conclaves, and greater cooperation among existing freshman groups. After some delay the candidates were announced. Pachacamac continued its policy of supporting a Lawrence non-fra ternity man for the presidency by nominating Jacob Young. For his running mates were selected James McCIure, of Topeka, for treasurer and J. D. Ramsey, of Vichita, and Rex Darnell, Kansas City, for dance managers. P. S. G. L. selected Brewster Powers, of Kansas City, as its chief candidate and chose Mac Vynne of Hays for treasurer and Bob Marietta, Salina, and Buss Bennett, Norton, for dance managers. The vote, announced as 475, the largest in the history of freshman elections, was an indication of the importance attached by both parties to the con- test. Pachacamac maintained its unbroken string of freshman presidents and swept all the offices except- ing one dance managership, which went to Bob Marietta. Young therefore became the first voting freshman in Council history, and the rising sun once more beamed upon the M. S. C. (Continue J on Page 159) Harriet Stephens James McCIure Yelma Wifso . D.

DECEMBER BEGINNERS AT MEDICINE Despite its cramped quarters the Kansas School oj Medicine flourishes By MARTIN WITHERS REATER trochanter, lesser trochanter, menis- cus of the articulation with tibia, repeated the harried student once more in the very best wait- ress style, as his hands delicately played over the surface of a yellow bone held behind his back. Thus I watched and listened with growing amazement and admiration as one of the 90 freshmen medics assidu- ously prepared for a coming practical examination in Gross Anatomy. Quite often morbidly curious students question the medic as to what might take place behind the frosted panes of the Commons building which encloses, among other things, that heavy atmosphere arising from some forty tanks of preserving fluid. Or perhaps the fortitude of the medic is praised, quite without warrant. For to the medic, with his preparation in sundry zoological laboratories, his cadaver soon acquires the aspect of nothing more than just another specimen a most interesting, albeit fearfully intricate, specimen, he might add. But that is not his only worry, for beginning stu- dents in medicine, after two, three, or four years pre- medical preparation, must survive three semesters in Lawrence before their coveted promotion to Rosedale is attained. Included in this year-and-a-half s work are anatomy, bacteriology, physiology, biochemistry, and immunology. Medical classes at Lawrence were origi- nally held in the old Chemistry building now occupied by the journalism department. Later the basement of Dyche Museum served in this capacity. Vhen the museum was condemned much of the equipment of the School of Medicine was transferred to the old Commons building, which has since been added to and remodeled. Bell Memorial Hospital, in Kansas Cify, Kansas A morose Shields DeMerfe Eckart The School of Medicine of Kansas University, as it was first established by the legislature of Kansas in 1899, offered only the first two years ' work toward the M. D. degree. When, in 1905 this school merged with the Kansas City Medical College, the Medico- chirurgical College, and the Kansas City College of Physicians and Surgeons, a complete four-year medi- cal course was then offered. In 1906 the School of Medicine occupied buildings on grounds in Kansas City, Kansas, which were donated to the University by Dr. Simeon Bell in memory of his wife, Elizabeth Taylor Bell. Today, Bell Memorial Hospital and the many later additions to the School of Medicine in Kansas City are now known as the University of Kansas Hospital. The administration of the School of Medicine at Lawrence rests in the hands of Dr. O. O. Stoland, secretary of the school. Other members of the faculty are Drs. Sherwood, Voodard, Latimer, Nelson, Treece, Downs, and Tracy. Under their able guidance students are selectively prepared for the more advanced work at Rosedale. The three professional medical fra- ternities and the national honorary medical fraternity. Alpha Omega Alpha, located at K. U. also play important roles in this rigorous prepara- tion. Annually the freshmen medics, as well as the upper classes in the school, estab- lish a formal organization to develop a feeling of unity for their respective classes. The freshman officers for this year are Ambrose Shields, presi- dent; Joseph Reed, vice-presi- dent; and DeMerle Eckart, secretary-treasurer. Third Row: Hoover. Bailey, Neal, Kiene. Kizler, Paden.

The old VheeI has been turning at a rapid rate the past few days, so let ' s take a glance at the imme- diate past before digging up a lot of ancient history. Homecoming . Nebraskans invading our houses - routing our freshmen from their beds getting drunk beating us 26-0 but Kansas still fights. And in spite of the drubbing, preparation for the gala event was some fun. Hobo Day covered the Hill with a riotous throng, reckless and merry. The duck race at Potter Lake saw the Beta goose cross the line first, and as the crowd moved out front to center and to the mice track, the Alpha Gam entry, a dark horse, came through, a 100-1 shot, to cop first money. Another change of scene another rush - this time to the Union building where Old Doc Yak urged the yelling throng to keep peppy with his pellets. The combined Hill bands, directed by Red Black- burn, dressed in his roommate ' s red shirt; offered free music for an hour and a half. Some bird Elmer Humphrey not content with the good clean fun, was ably assisted by a Gamma Phi cutie, Maxine Laugh- lin, in dumping a pillow full of feathers on the floor, and in no time, the cheerful scene was changed into bedlam as a storm of tiny bits of down lodged in every nose, and throat. This dance session proved one of the most popular of the year as the hoboes mixed it up at will that is most of them. Seemed as though the By THE SPOKESMAN crowd was just too much for some of the more serious of the serious Hill couples . and when Bert Vhite was called forth to collect her can of beans as a prize for her clever dress, she had already slipped away for a more comfortable spot, probably snuggled close to John Chandler in the blue Dodge in some out-of-the- way place. After the rally in the evening, another hour of dancing completed the big day. The next day, Betty Ruth Smith, Theta and the football team ' s choice for Homecoming Queen, pre- sided over the festivities the bands played and Francis and Cardwell proceeded to run merrily through the entire Kansas team. The Homecoming Varsity featured five free tickets darn the Delta Chis for getting the lion s share presented by the same Betty Ruth. A whole regiment of scarlet-sweatered Nebraskans took the floor for a snake dance early in the evening; but just think, in five more years we can have a silver anniversary and really concentrate on whipping the Huskers, then per- haps we can have a snake dance. A vocal rendition of Minnie the Moocher by Red Blackburn drew the swaying throng close to the band stand, during a lively moment and after that, there was no dragging to the evening. It was a good party everybody was happy so what s a little football game. Let ' s meander back now to the first of October and the Gingham Frolic on the 7th. Fickle femininity! T It s common talk the lassies reigned supreme that day. Betty Jane Boddington, Gam Phi pledge; Betty Black- burn, and Mary Frances Butler, Alpha Chi, were Outstanding costumes at the Miami Triad winners of the Campus Redhead contest. The baton vielder and sole judge was none other than Red Puss Blackburn, possessor of no mean red mop himself. The Santa Fe station was the scene of a spirited rally Friday night. October 9 when the gridsters left for Iowa State. Because of Phog ' s charges of no pep in the student body, the turnout was the best of recent years. But the rousing send-off was not enough to offset the 21-7 defeat the Jayhawkers suffered the next day from the Cyclones. The Sigma Kappas, Alpha Gams, Vatkins and Corbin Halls took care of the open house situation on this week-end to close the season on free dances. The Betas chose this Saturday night for their freshman party, so with the lack of other social frivolity, the house was filled with choice femmes. On the eve of the Oklahoma football game, October 17, the Hill ' s male population donned bed attire and staged one grand shirt-tail parade. Despite the absence of the Flying Squadron, the event was a gala one with the usual pep talks, free eats and free shows. An ideal day a small crowd- and a 14-0 rout by the Sooners, was on the bill the next afternoon. The Kap Sigs with a fall party, and the Phi Gams with their tacky affair, had the gals dated up that evening that is the ones who didn t attend the arsity held in the Union building. How the Kappa Eta Kappas and Sig Alphs and their sailor party managed to get dates on October 23 in view of competition with the Sigma Chis, Phi Delts and Betas with their Miami Triad, is a mystery. The Triad was held in the Union with Louie Kuhn doing a swell job at the band stand. They called it a costume party, and it was the real McCoy. Dorothy Blue, as a Highland lassie, was quickly chosen as the best costumed girl; but the task of picking the male winner was a stickler due, no doubt, to the fact that At the Sig Alph sailor party the three fraternity housemothers acted as judges. Finally a boy from each lodge was chosen and straws had to be drawn to determine the winner. Lo and behold, little Vernon Voorhees, as Buck Rodgers, diminutive king of the Sigs, was it. An outside, impar- tial judge, backed up the decision, so the choice stood. Norwin Souder, another Sig, won the pie eating contest, while each house presented special musical numbers. The next day the playful studes moved to Man- hattan, not only to watch the Wildcats administer a 26-6 shellacking to the Jayhawks. but to do a little administering themselves. As a result, one local boy received a $27 bill for a $3 hotel room. Some fun. Sunday what a dismal day. Louie Kuhn and his kids turned out for the Mid- week on October 28 decked in new suits. On Friday, the Phi Psis. Phi Mu ' s and Delta Taus entertained with fall parties. As I was unable to attend any of them myself, details are very vague and few. October 31 saw the Kansans and Arizonians seesaw back and forth to a 0-0 tie. The Sig Eps staged a brawl on this evening as did John Paul with a special Varsity equipped with a style show and everything. Election time draws close. Odds are with Roosevelt, but Landon comes through a winner in the A.S.U. and Literary Digest poll. Suckers are plentiful on the campus as his backers swarm the Hill. Literary Digest ' s commentary on our Peggy Anne is too good to pass over . . . Until her unexpected and, to her, bewildering rise to celebrity at Cleveland in June, dark-eyed, olive-skinned Peggy Anne lived the normal, care-free life of any coed: not too much study, bull sessions at night in the big sorority house across tree-lined (guess I ' ve been blind) Mississippi street, more sessions over ' cokes ' between classes or after the movies, a little bridge played free-style, some reading, dances and date dates dates.

Electric Razors Pajamas Arrow Shirts Smoking Sets Luggage Ties and Sox Dress Jewelry Traveling Cases Lektrolite Lighters Gloves Dressing Gowns Robes Smoking Jackets Mufflers Tie Racks and a host of other different gifts MEN ' S CLOTHES By HIM Perhaps you went up to Mr. Paul ' s style show held at a recent varsity. If so, you were treated to rather a good cross section of the season ' s current styles for Hill men (and women). Probably the most outstanding feature was the pre- dominance of raglan sleeves in the overcoats display ed. These of course are part and parcel of the great number of balmaccan models so often seen nowadays. Next of course, we were rather pleasantly interested to note at said style show, that of all the outfits shown there, the total valuations of the individual outfits was really kept down to quite a modest figure. Thus we men at Kansas are not suffering as greatly from raised clothing prices as we might think. Far be it from us to kick though. A letter from one of our former better dressed men here at the U was quite enjoyably received the other day. None other than John Dieter, ex Sigma Chi, who is studying the law back at Yale, favored us with a nice outline of the clothing situation on that campus. First of all, it was rather interesting to find, that contrary to advertisements or otherwise, we at Kansas do not dress so very dif- ferently or behind the times as some would have us believe. Coats are predominantly shoul- der gusset backs and side or cen- ter vents, with sport backs decidedly in the minority. Trousers are a bit in advance of us, in that they are narrower through the knees and taper down to a narrow cuff, which cuff comes well above the shoe top to display heavy cotton or woolen sox in diagonal and striped patterns. Shirts with wide collars, button- down are preferred, in wide stripes or solid colors. The white collar and cuff on darker shirts are great for dress. As here, the new gabardine top- coats are beginning to make their appearance in balmaccan models with the military collars. Some are in the reversible models with Har- ris tweed on the reverse side. A return to our own campus finds the formal season getting underway with quite a trend towards the midnight-blue in the double-breasted tuxedos. Tails are gaining a little more each season. At the style show, it was modeled with all the proper accessories. Something new this year will be the return of the stick-pin for the four-in-hand neckties, for wear on the dressier occasions. In the jewelry line, too, we ' ll see studs for evening wear taking on a little color, with gold being in the lead. Ve rather like Frank Oberg ' s herringbone, single-breasted tweed type suit. It s dark brown and with the single-breasted balmaccan top- coat is great. Knitted gloves are coming more into their own, in colors as bright as the new woolen scarfs.

Don ' t be discouraged, though, if you are too tall to carry gracefully this added height or if the man-of-the-moment is no taller than you. for there are several alternatives that have equal style. Dark toques with twisted bands of brilliant velvet are having their inning this year as well as the col- lege girls ' favorite. Betty Anne Lindas, Theta ' s lovely and fragile blonde, is wearing a clever hat. The small velour skull cap sup- ports a perky bow of matching black and a veil, slightly more than nose length.

Probably the most thrilling play of the day was a 90-yard return of a Idckoff for a touchdown by Sam Francis, Nebraska ' s AII-American fullback. The play was called back to the Kansas 34-yard line because of clipping by one of the Nebraska players but the runback remained as a real highlight of the game. The outstanding feature of the Nebraska play was the blocking. Not only did the line open big holes but the down-field blocking was of a high calibre. The Husker ballcarriers took advantage of their interference to the highest possible degree and as a result the Nebraska offense was a thing of beauty to behold. Michigan State, which by now may have come to consider Kansas as a breather, came, saw and conquered. At the end of the game the Scoreboard read Michigan State 41, Kansas 0, no very great improvement over last year when the Spartans won 42-0. The game started encouragingly for Kansas, a situation which turned out to be the lull before t he storm. Not a single point were the Spartans able to garner in the first quarter and as the Jayhawks did some ball advancing on their own part, Kansas hopes rose. In the second quarter, however, Michigan State rang up two touch- downs, added another in the third and broke loose with a real pyro- technic display in the final period. Before the firing ceased the Spar- tans had scored in almost every way known to the game. November 21 the varsity was idle while the reserves battled the fresh- men to a scoreless tie before a small crowd. The game with Missouri, the game which the team had been concentrating on, was played m Page 139) Thanksgiving Day at Columbia. On the first scrimmage play of the game a Missouri back fumbled and Kansas recovered on the Tigers ' 19-yard line. Three plays gained only three yards so a place kick was called for. Vith the crowd holding its breath Douglass, junior fullback, swung his foot into the ball back on the 25-yard line and the ball sailed squarely between the goal posts. This surprising turn of events so heartened the Jayhawkers that they stymied every thrust made by the aroused Tigers in the first half. Missouri drove furiously but the fighting Kansans repulsed them every time they got inside the 10-yard line. On one occasion Kansas took the ball on downs on its 6-inch line. Not only did the Jayhawk defense show power but the Kansas offense also got moving. At one point in the first half three first downs in a row were manufactured by the Jayhawkers with Replogle doing most of the ground gaining. In the second half Cannady, sub- bing for Douglass, got away for two runs of more than 10 yards. The second half, however, found the Jayhawk defense finally being overpowered. A penalty which gave Missouri the ball on the Kan- sas 31 -yard line was followed b y a march to a touchdown with Mis- souri, unable to score through the line, tallying on a pass from the 2-yard line. A 55-yard drive by Missouri accounted for its second touch- down and a beautiful 60-yard sprint by Mahley ended the day ' s scoring. 19-3 was the final score and it marked the first game since 1929 that Missouri had scored on Kansas. Thus ended the football season for Kansas. It was an unsatisfactory season as far as games won and lost were concerned but the men never quit trying and better things are hoped for next year, as losses by graduation will be very few. DECEMBER THE NOVITIATES ELECT (Continued from Page 144) The women ' s campaign was. despite the fact that they voted twice, a very quiet affair, as women ' s elections usually are. After nominating a group of candidates for each office and conducting the election per schedule, some o f the feminine politicians discovered that election rules had been ignored and no candidate had a majority. The muddle was finally cleared by the simple expedient of going back and starting over. Vithout further ado the independent women firmly grabbed both offices. Harriet Stephens, of Mulvane, and Velma Wilson, of Meade, were selected to fill the offices of vice-president and secretary, respectively. The women officers are permitted an active voice in the V. S. G. A. council and can therefore expect to -wield some influence in feminine political circles. The results of the campaign remain to be seen. Young is faced with the very real challenge of being the first freshman to have voting power on the M. S. C. He is, therefore, theoretically able to accomplish something of a con- structive program. It is perhaps too much to expect to look for him to earn,- out every plank of his plat- form, and yet the enactment of any of the suggestions of either party would be a long stride for- ward from the ineffectual, voice- less methods of former presidents. Hill politicians, if no. one else, will be interestedly watching the devel- opments. Miss Stephens and Miss Wil- son, as has already been men- tioned, are in position to help influence the weighty decisions of the W. S. G. A. council. What influence they will actually have remains to be seen. McCIure ' s worries are over. His job is finished. In fact, it was fin- ished the moment he won the elec- tion, unless one were to include the taking of his picture for the Jayhawker as a part of his job. For the treasurer is in the peculiar position of having nothing to treasure. Ramsey and Marietta were faced with the task of arranging for the Freshman Frolic. The fact that the orchestra which was to play for the Frolic had been announced even before their election should have reduced their work and worry considerably. et leaving all these considera- tions of the importance or unim- portance of offices one can still find definite value in the election. Value not only to the victors but to those who failed: not only to the actual office seekers but to everyone who took an active part in the campaign. These freshmen gained a great deal in experience. The actual work of planning the campaign, directing publicity, and finally following the real political procedure in balloting will be worth much to these men and women. The ability to meet people and to form friendships is everywhere rec- ognized as very important. And if the campaign did nothing else it forced these men and women to go out and meet their fellow frosh. In these hectic three weeks they met more people than they other- wise would have met throughout the entire year. If the freshmen can realize that this is the valuable fea- ture of the campaign they w 7 ill be unable to take themselves too seri- ously and will have a true perspec- tive of Hill politics.

But while Peggy Anne believes that there ' s safety in numbers, this year she has been extra careful in choosing her escorts. On Thursday after- noon, they may take her to the weekly tea-dances (where have I been these three years to miss all these?) at Wiedemanns Cafe in the town. Later perhaps, (yes, perhaps) she drives out to the Kaw to canoe in the soft Kansan moonlight. ' . . . . Over her breakfast, she chats about history with the same youthful eagerness she has always displayed in her school work. . . . . Pi Beta Phis is the oldest sorority on the campus, but there ' s nothing ultra-social in its member- ship. (You said it buddy.) . . . . In dry-voting Kansas, young Peggy Anne wisely refuses to go inside a place where beer is sold. She will, after persuasion, consent to stopping outside for curb-service, but orders her own drinks soft. So this is Peggy Anne in the news, but here at Kansas we know her - and like her better as she really is, without the color, the frills, and the faux pas attributed to her by the Digest. During the week of November 8, student fun-lovers took a turn at the dramatic production, Bury the Dead. For once, thanks to the new, squeak-free seats, and maybe one or two other things, a local play was thoroughly enjoyed by the socialites. On Friday the 13th the gals got together again at the Puff Pant Prom and the boys stagged it out to the R M. Two of the campus ' brazen males, however, staged a First a Girl affair and made the dance, at least for five or six dances. There was a day when such actions called for a ducking in the lake. WHEEL n Page 151) Satisfied that they could get dates on this night, the D.U. ' s inveigled some of the gals to skip the Puff Pant affair and take chances on their fall party. The lads and lassies were escorted in ancient carriages from the main road down the rambling lane to the old manor into which the house had been transformed and there they were treated with the reading of the last will of D.U. Man field. It has been reported that the decorations were mighty fine, that Red Blackburn did a nice job on the music end, and that the girls were mighty pleased over their tricky little beer-mug favors. But who am I, who didn ' t get to go, to say what kind of a party it was? The brawny K-men took over the Union building the next eve- ning for the annual K Club Varsity. The same girls attended as attend every other varsity, the K-men got in free, and Louis Kuhn did his best to make a real party out of it. Seems as though the athletic situation is rather on the decline this year. However, at the end, the floor became rather crowded, perhaps due to the fact that so many got in free after intermission. The Sigma Nu ' s with their Pumpkin Party, which after all was just a glorified barn affair, donned the farm costumes on this night, everyone brought a pump- kin, and came to the dance. The first floor, transformed by means of a little straw and other prop- erties of a stable, made a nice looking setting for such a brawl. Blackburn ground out the melodies for the square dances. Date bids and stag lists now become evident over the campus and every house boasts of the long- est list of stags to every party. The Gam Phis opened the season with a Polly Party at their chapter house on Saturday, November 21. Red Blackburn did the honors on this evening. The house was (Continued on Page 16t) DECEMBER SOCIAL WHEEL (Continued from Page 160) crowded to overflowing and the event was a very colorful one. The house was draped in bright colored crepe paper with balloons and stuff hanging from everywhere. As usual, many new and stunning formal made their appearance. Elva Cheatum was a standout in her new creation, and fought off the boys all night one of the bet- ter girls, and probably the best dancer, Maxine Laughlin, sat out, or rather laid out the entire evening, in her hospital room after an appendectomy the evening before and it is rumored that Elmer Humphrey took a swing at our Kansan Shinster when he attempted to cut in on his date on the last dance. The party season will really be a success if all the rest are on par with this one but why worry with that now. The military men also chose this week-end to put on their little show in the Union building. Louie Kuhn played this one. Many of the Aggie boys, who think that this is a real party, came down to the U to practice the goose step with the locals, but to the con- sternation of a few likewise to some of the campus coeds, forgot their identifications and had a h of a time making the grade. Christmas vacation looms close ahead now, and the old Wheel is fast ceasing to rotate. One event in the near future alone causes it from coming to a dead stop for the time being. This widely her- alded event is the Freshman Frolic w i t h the famed dusky-hued Fletcher Henderson band. Long has it been the ambition of those who seek out dance bands to get a real big-time orchestra at K.U. The time has come. If now, after all the liulla halloo from dance fanatics who say that they would be glad to pay two bucks for a big band, the student body doesn ' t get behind this thing, I see in the future. Hill bands. Hill bands. Hill bands and imported small- time stuff as has been prevalent in the past. God help the freshmen! (Editor ' s note: As the Jayhawker went to press before the Frolic was held, the social editor could not report on the doings there.) EDITORIAL (Continue J from Page 93) good band. Because of an edict of the student advisers the practice was discontinued, but a moment ' s conversation with almost any mem- ber of the student body would con- vince one that the reinstatement of tea dancing in Lawrence would meet with almost unanimous acclaim. While the advisers in all probability had on their side a variety of reasons for abolishing the practice, such as protecting the morals of the students, keeping them out of mischief, etc., it seems to us that the same points could be applied in defense of tea danc- ing. Certainly the dances could be under faculty control if necessary, although it should not be neces- sary, and in all probability from twenty to thirty musicians would be enabled to work their way through school by playing at the various establishments, as is the case in many other schools. Appar- ently the words of the present rul- ing forbids dancing in eating places, but if sufficient sentiment could be aroused it is possible that the edict could be withdrawn, for after all the voice of the herd is bound eventually to be heard. The next issue of the Jayhawker will con- tain a discussion of the situation here, comparing it with conditions at Missouri and Oklahoma, where tea dancing is permitted, as well as Kansas State, Nebraska, and Iowa State, where rules similar to those here are in effect.

From 1925 to 1927, he was an exchange student to the University of Berlin. After instructing and doing graduate study at Yale during the two years following his return, he received his Ph. D. from that university in 1929. In 1929-30, he was National Research Fellow at the University of Berlin, then went to the Univer- sity of Colorado to be an assistant professor from 1930 to 1932. Since 1932 he has been associated with the University of Kansas. Among the publications to which he has contributed articles are Psychological Review, Journal of Social Psychology, Psychological Bulletin, Psychometrika, and the Philosophy of Science. He also wrote Psychology in the Social Order. He is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Psy- chometrical Society, the Advisory Council of the Society for Psycho- logical Study of Social Issues, Sigma Xi, Gamma Alpha, and Psi Chi. His hobbies are literature, politics, and sports. And he is interested in the development of a mathematical-theoretical psychology. Dr. Brown believes that there has been a terrific change during his m Page 101) association with mid-western uni- versities from the rah-rah days toward a more serious interest in scholarship among students, with an increased interest in the larger affairs of social and philosophical studies. Because he believes that the successful teacher has to show some interest in actual student problems, but has to maintain some respect and authority, Dr. Brown does not greatly favor the Grade- our-Prof Week which was spon- sored by the University Daily Kan- san last year. Incidentally, when the results of last year ' s grading were tabulated, Dr. Brown had the highest grade - point average among the University faculty mem- bers. In a statement regarding the sys- tem of teaching and grading, Dr. Brown said, Gradually, we must come to a curriculum which is not only better integrated in its indi- vidual parts, but also is better inte- grated with the realities of life, and one of the ways to come to that is to abolish single-course grades. One of the developments to this end will be the establishment of com- prehensive examinations. THIS ' N ' THAT (Confinnea rom Page 97) with Bury the Dead. The Jay- walker makes no pretense of being a qualified dramatic critic and passes over the acting with no com- ment. Suffice it to say that the play was given a better-than-average reception. A clever and unusual piece of propaganda, its grim moral could not pass unnoticed. The symphony orchestra gave a con- cert which, by them as appreciate such, was characterized as good. Personally I ' d rather hear a Ger- man band in a beer garden. The Turkey Day recess is now a thing of the past, and Christmas holidays loom close. The students almost unanimously look forward to a two-weeks mental siesta, and a raid on the parental $$$ purse in the form of Christmas presents. A new slant on the vacation comes from Health Director Canuteson, who points out that the holiday tears down resistance to the species of bacteria peculiar to Mt. Oread, and gives the students an oppor- tunity to bring back more. DECEMBER CAMPUS POLYLOGIA DISCOVERS: (Continued from Page 119) gwwwwwwv seemed to disappoint them as far as company was concerned.

Alan Diddle Asher has been raising so much hell recently about my girlish figure (and coming from him, too) that we thought we might bring out about him receiv- ing a little token of affection at one of the local hot spots. It seems as though Diddle was absorbing a little of the Goetz one evening and he was trying hard to make his personality extend to one of Lawrence s womanhood products, said girl really not thinking that our hero was the prince of the outfit and requested mildly that he extract himself from her midst.

One or two queer fellows in the crowd wondered how Misty would look with a little square moustache, and lio v the students would look if they all held their arms up and shouted HEIL! instead of Bosky Bosky Bow Wow. Three or four assistant coaches made speeches, as did all the members of the team, and the crowd Bosky Bosky Bow Wowed until they were hoarse. Then the cheerleader asked them once more if they were going to beat Kalamazoo, and they told him HELL YES! The crowd had made so much admirable n oise that they were allowed a cup of cider and a doughnut each. Through the minds of the queer fellows, who had awfully fantastic thoughts, flitted a picture of a dog speaking for a bone. i Page f35) The next day a lot of the stu- dents stayed home instead of going to the game. If it hadn ' t been for the alumni the stadium would have looked pretty empty. As a matter of fact, it did anyway. At the half the score was Kalamazoo 41, Siwash 0. The cheerleader asked the students if they were going to beat Kalamazoo. HELL YES!! they replied. Then every- body was asked to put their hands up in the air and wave them around while they spelled out Siwash. The alumni across the stadium enjoyed the exhibition of School Spirit very much. That night Misty got in bed and then jumped out real quick like he ' d forgotten something. He knelt down beside the bed. Don ' t let School Spirit die out, he requested, his voice shaking with emotion, until the stadium is paid for.

LAWRENCE STUDIO Ground Floor 727 Mass. St. BURY THE DEAD (Continued fr, play, but it was naked, bitter, ugly humor. The contrast between the curtain- raiser play, Four Days ' Leave, and Bury the Dead emphasized the feeling of each. Besides contrasting the 1916 attitude toward war with that of 1936, the two plays were strikingly different in detail. The excellently acted Four Days ' Leave was a mother-dear-and-sweetheart- mine sort of thing, a reserved, thor- oughly English play that said, in effect, Oh I Jo say, try not to take it too hard, old thing. The feeling of the modern drama was more all- encompassing and elemental and stark. In the first play the pacifistic sweetheart is converted to a heroic acceptance of war; in the second, the women who come to persuade the dead men to be buried are put right in no uncertain terms. Leon- ard, in the English play, bids his wife goodbye with, If we have a son, take good care of him, and let him know his father died for Eng- land. In Bury the Dead, Web- ster, a former garage mechanic, now dead before his time for the sake of a few dozen yards of earth, sighs with simple and pathetic longing, Gee, I sure would ' a liked to had a kid. As to individual performances, distinctions must be closely drawn. Due to the nature of the play and the method of presentation, there are no stars, no heroes, no single personality around which the play revolves. Each one of the unusually numerous players is flashed quickly on and off the stage, each con- tributing to the effect of the entire play. A few portrayals, however, were memorable. Esther HoIIecker, as the ranting and profane Mabel Webster, brought down the house. James Bradfield ' s wistful and sin- cere interpretation of her dead hus- band was probably the best of the corpses. Particularly outstanding in the burial detail that brought so many laughs in the opening scene was Joe Myers as Casey. He was provided with many of the laugh lines, but his own nonchalent, insolent drawl was largely respon- sible for his success. Lastly, Richard McCann as the mutilated boy, Jimmy Dean, and Jessica Crafton as Mrs. Dean were remarkably convincing. The fact that Bury the Dead broke all attendance records indi- cates that students appreciate a striking and important play on the University stage. ALUMNI PILGRIMAGE (Continued from Page 103) a few words of fight spirit. After the rally in the Auditorium, the enthusiastic Hobos scampered down the incline of Potter s Lake to see the classic of the Home- coming, the duck race. The contest was spirited and the claims of foul were numerous, but Woogy, bearing the colors of Beta Theta Pi, emerged victorious. The women then stepped into the spotlight with their innovation, the Mouse Race, held in front of Administration building. The mice, with splotches of bright paint upon them and with ribbons flying, staged a scampering contest with first-place honors going to the mouse entered by Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. This finished, the death to Nebraska Hobos and Hoboettes filed back to the Union building for Old Doc Yak ' s world-famous medicine show. Doc proved, with- out a doubt, the genuine worth of his pills, especially as a prescrip- tion for beating Nebraska. After the show a combination of the Hill bands, led by Red Black- burn, set those in attendance to dancing, while a group of more devilish students filled the air with the feathers of a pillow, thereby (Continued on Page 165) DECEMBER causing merriment at the expense of those who slipped on them. A dinner-hour rally took place Friday evening at six o ' clock over station KFKU. The University Band played several numbers, and the Men ' s Glee Club sang a few of the school songs. Chancellor Lindley and Phog Allen con- cluded the program with brief pep talks. The gala festivities of the eve- ning began . at eight-thirty as Massachusetts Street became an illuminated snake. Throngs of torch-bearing students wove in and out around the floats as the pro- cession moved spiritedly from South Park to the Wren Building. The University Band, again play- ing its part, and the Lawrence American Legion Drum Corps led the parade, while the nineteen floats, depicting the Comhuskers in various sorry plights, followed. The hundreds of bobbing torches gave color to the procession, indicating Kansas ' corn-roasting intentions for the following day. The originality and ingenuity of the Sigma Phi Epsilon boys in constructing a float from an old horse-drawn hearse covered with corn stalks won for them first award in the float con- test. Occupying a prominent posi- tion in the parade was Betty Ruth Smith, the Homecoming Queen, who was surrounded by numerous male escorts as well as by a repre- sentative from the football squad. At the Wren Building, the parade halted for a radio rally of songs, cheers, band numbers, and speakers. This program, titled Kansas Pep. demonstrated a type of college spirit to be recommended for its sincerity ALUMNI PILGRIMAGE (Continued from Page 164) and organization. At the last event of the day. the Union building once more opened its doors to the cele- brators, this time as before, provid- ing a dance floor and the fine orchestra of Louie Kuhn for the varsity-minded. To the organized houses goes credit for the most effective and interesting accomplishment of the entire Homecoming, the decoration of their respective abodes. Exten- sive imaginations played havoc vith Nebraska, all decorations picturing the Cornhuskers in solemn defeat or even as dead and departed. The spirited rivalry among the houses resulted in not a little difficulty for the judges, but their first award in the sorority division went to Kappa Alpha Theta, while in the frater- nity division, half honor went to Sigma Chi and half to Phi Delta Theta. And thus Friday with its rallies, hobos, parades, cheers, torches, races, varsities, and decorations came to a close. Saturday morning in the lounge of the Union, the Jay Janes and V. S. G. A. representatives wel- comed returning alumni. Special attention fell upon the returning football team of 1916 for the very- reason that it was the last K. U. team to claim a gridiron victory- over Nebraska, a feat of no mean distinction. A committee from the class of 1912 met to formulate plans for their quarter-century reunion scheduled for next June. The Kansas newspaper editors played an important part in the Homecoming celebration with their annual Newspaper Roundtable, as did the Society for the Promotion of Education and members of the American Legion. The editors dis- played an active interest in Home- coming by serving as judges in the decoration contest. Football fans were intensely interested in the afternoon ' s game, not only because of the close rivalry between Kansas and Nebraska, but also because of the opportunity of seeing a Rose Bowl aspirant per- form. Newspapers had heralded the super-human huskies of whom Nebraska boasted, and found no indication in the game of any diminution of that team s glory. The crushing attack by Sam Fran- cis, the open field antics of Lloyd Cardwell. and the powerful, coordi- nated blocking and tackling of the Cornhuskers spelled nothing but defeat for Kansas. The final score of 26-0 represented only what the first team accumulated in slightly- less than two quarters, while the scoreless remainder of the game dis- played a fighting defense to hold back a Nebraska second team. The Jayhawkers did not lack fight, how- ever, but implanted the hope of a victory for next year, a hope based on the successful development of the sophomore squad members. Nebraska drained Lawrence of almost all celebrative spirit when the victorious Cornhuskers left for Kansas City for their after-game rallies. Strangely enough, the Homecoming Varsity, under the leadership of Red Blackburn ' s orchestra achieved fame as one of the most successful varsities held this year. Discouragement gave way to weary but contented happiness in a realization of the success of a grand Homecoming celebration.

The story is on page 204. Professional and honorary organ- izations hold the spotlight in this issue, but we offer several feature stories which should prove of great interest. Notable among them is J. Hubert Anderson s article entitled, About This Tea-Dancing, deal- ing with the revival of an old bone of contention between students, faculty and Lawrence merchants. It is followed by an outstanding bit of satire by Carl Smith regarding the dearth of something-to-do on the Mount of an afternoon. Other features of note come from Robert Pearson, Dorothy Fritz, Robert Bur- tis and Virgil Mitchell. Of course the Jayhawker comes forth with another dissertation on affairs of the Hill, the article exceedingly well illustrated by Carol Johnson. The pictorial feature section, which made its first appearance in the Jayhawker ' s Christmas issue is included again as is another group of Hill Headliners, chosen from the campus celebrities.

FEBRUARY VOLUME XLIX FEBRUARY, 1937 NUMBER 3 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the Jayhawker Advisory Board. A record or events and personalities, and a review oj campus trends ana opinions. JAMES H. COLEMAN Editor-in-C ue JACK TOWNSEND Business Manager We take no undisguised pleasure over the reception accorded the new features inaugurated in the last issue of the Jayhawker and would like here and now to express our appreciation of the compli- ments paid us. It is our purpose to leave an indelible record of Kansas Univer- sity life of the year 1936 37 through the Jayhawker and every feature article included in the maga- zine, every picture, every page, is presented with that idea in view. Thus we hope will the impres- sions left by the ever-changing population of Mount Oread be per- petuated, for the Jayhawker is as everlasting as the University itself, in fact it is nearly as old. No Hill publication is treasured through the years as is the Jayhawker, and with each passing decade its value as a link between the alumnus and his alma mater is magnified. For that reason we attempt to include in its pages as many faces, names, and incidents as possible, in order that every student will see it as a personal record of those care- free years before he is thrust out into the hostile world on his own. And we feel that those who have been outstanding members of the Hill community should be recog- nized as such, and their accomplish- ments made known to the world now and hereafter. Of course, there are probably some who may be left out in our posie-passing but it is impossible to give special attention to all those who in some way deserve it. So again we thank you for your generous applause, and we hope we may continue to receive your favor. Featured in this issue is a sum- mary of the arguments for and against dancing in student hang- outs. The Jayhawker wishes to go on record as whole-heartedly favor- ing the revival of this practice, for it can see definite advantages for some form of recreation to take the place of the uninteresting coke- drinking which seems to be preva- lent on the Hill at the present time. Without any biased effort at all we can see advantages where the opponents can discern only evil. With the proper regulation the local jelly-joints ' could provide facili- ties for dancing which would take the place of the forms of amuse- ment popular at the present time which are deemed harmful by those who abolished tea-dancing some years ago. The principal argument concerns drinking. It is our opinion and that of many others that with amusement of this kind offered in Lawrence, even under University supervision, it would be more enjoyable for men and women students to consort of an evening than it is at the present time. A week-end evening is indeed dull if no varsity dance is offered, or if one is not fortunate enough to attend a fraternity or sorority party, and most men students hesitate to have dates on such occasions, pre- ferring to spend the evening with their male friends, sometimes with results frowned on by the authori- ties. There would certainly be no need to leave Lawrence in search of recreation if suitable amusement were provided consistently here. Witness recent developments at the University of Iowa, where two student night clubs have only recently been opened to remedy just such conditions as exist here. Both establishments are filled to overflowing every night they are open while student orchestras and student floor shows provide excel- lent entertainment. And so we are led to our last point of argument. What of the monetary affairs of such establishments as could be practical here? It requires no mental gymnastics at all to see that a great many students would be benefited in a financial way by employment in hang-outs of this sort. Vaiters, musi- cians, entertainers think of the number of students who could ob- tain aid in their quest for knowledge in work of this sort. It cannot be said that students now in school would fill the positions. They are not plentiful enough. New students, some who might not otherwise attend the University, could do so under such circumstances. We couldn ' t lose. The memorable sleet storm of January 7 resulted in this unusual view of the hospital, vacation land for the over-worked student. FEBRUARY ABOUT THIS TEA-DANCING-, The old issue of afternoon rises with new arguments in its javor By J. HUBERT ANDERSON BURIED years ago, the skeletal remains of Jayhawker tea-dances are exhumed perennially. Students, dance bandsmen, others query: Who killed this Cock Robin? How? Why? This year ' s inquest by the coroner s jury 7 reveals that the bird met his death at the hands of the university faculty. Accomplices were the Lawrence merchants whose establishments afforded the facilities which could accom- modate the dances. The business men held the bow: the faculty released the arrow. A Gentlemen ' s Agreement, in other words, inflicted the fatal wound. This cooperative effort to kill arose at the merchants ' insistence that something be done to abate a nuisance. They appreciated the patronage which the better-behaved students gave them, but they abhorred the con- duct of a lunatic fringe, the omnipresent minority who, in anticipation of nocturnal, alcoholic festivities, began to prime themselves in the afternoon. Downtown men and Hill officials then put their heads together, came out of the huddle with a play. But the merchants yelled signals check when they found the suggested solution only proposed that the university- would merely blacklist the dances as unauthorized parties. This expedient, they believed, would have a loop-hole, because there was no assurance that the dances might not be continued under university sponsorship on Mount Oread. Thus, the townward flow of students in the afternoon would be diverted, and, as a result, trade would suffer. But the second huddle produced a play that clicked. Said the merchants. We won ' t provide room and music for the students ' tea-dances if you will agree not to. This proposal found favor with the faculty, and the hand- shake which followed was evidently sincere, because tea-dances have never been revived. However, defenders of the dances believed that the bird was a Phoenix; carefully saved its ashes in the hope that it would immediately rise again. Years have rolled around, though, and tea-dance revival has not occurred. Thus far, the attempts at resurrection have been student-led. And unfamiliarity with the circumstances surrounding the abolition of the dances has caused these students to conduct their campaign against the faculty. Vhat, then, are the arguments and the objections which are held among university officialdom? One source says: There is nothing wrong with tea-dancing; it is quite harmless, even innocuous. It s what grows around them the tendency of the lunatic fringe to spike drinks, thus creating a daylight mess. Furthermore, it is said that the dances were turned down on the ground that it was difficult to exclude the general public. Adopted as a general university rule to defend the students from the commercial exploitation which they underwent at the hands of charity and benefit dance sponsors, it has for many years been a Hill ordinance that students should not go to dances which are open to the general public. According to Dean of Women Elizabeth Meguiar, It isn ' t that we don ' t want the students to have a good time, with ample opportunity to dance, but there would be too much commercial exploitation, were the dances to be revived. We are not opposed to dancing, but we feel that there are oppor- JAYHAWKER Afternoon frolicking at Missouri tunities enough for the students to dance, and these should be kept within bounds. Dean of Men Henry Verner voiced another objec- tion when he said, I believe wholeheartedly in an intramural program. A university without one is extremely dead. But tea-dances would provide an increasing temptation for students to stay away from this program, as well as from other extra-curricular activities and from studies. He estimated that a fraternity man now has an aver- age maximum of eight or more hours per week avail- able to him for dancing. And he pointed out that a popular coed, with dates to varsities, hour dances, mid- weeks, and fraternity and sorority parties, would have to stay up very late indeed if she wished to pass her studies, should she also have tea-dances added to her schedule. Students, however, have always scoffed at this objection, saying, Ve are old enough to know how we want to spend our time. If tea-dances were to be revived, we should be privileged to use our own judg- ment as to how we should spend our time, whether dancing or studying or participating in intramurals. They have been silent, though, on the method of controlling that lunacy clique, whose fault it was that the dances were abandoned. Some of them admit, too, that their judgment in the use of time might likely be prejudiced in favor of an afternoon of tea-dancing, rather than one of studying or of competing in sports. In essence, then, the soundest arguments in favor of permitting the dances to return are proposed by the dance bandsmen, whose living is dependent upon their playing horns, fiddles, and drums. Vhat do they say? Taking both the students ' and the musicians point of view, genial Red Blackburn, long a popular maestro in Jayhawker dance circles, says, Dancing is a good diversion; provides good exercise. And tea-dances will enable innumerable stu- dents to relax in recreation at a very low cost for an afternoon s entertainment. A meal-check for cokes and sandwiches would be the price of a date in an estab- lishment which provided an orchestra and floor-space. Besides, he pointed out, the dances would pro- vide employment for a number of boys who must work their entire way through school by playing in bands. At best, the evening dance engagements for which they may play are limited, and steady afternoon employment would supplement their pay when the season is dull. Daily practice, too, will improve any band ' s qual- ity, he stated. And tea-dances would enable the boys to keep in constant trim. Which of the two camps, then, has the better argument is open to personal opinion, but the con side, so far in this perusal, has outpointed the pro, because they have this technical advantage: There is only one location in Lawrence which is at present equipped to entertain tea-dancers, were the custom to be revived. Wiedemann ' s back-room is that place. And, unless other proprietors wished to go to the expense of remodeling, this one room would scarcely accommodate the affairs. There is a possibility thai someone might invest in the refurnishing of The Cow Shed, once a student hang-out, which was located under the Dickinson Theater building, with an entrance under the Western Union office. Brick ' s Cafe and The Jayhawk Cafe both have basement rooms which might easily be turned into afternoon dance spots. But all of this is conjecture. The battle line is drawn over the very existence of tea-dances, not over whether any hang-out proprietors would care to remodel. There arises, then, the question, What are other Big Six schools doing about tea-dances? Over Missouri way, Editor Robert Case, of the Savitar, reports: Tea-dancing has existed as a popular pastime of students in the University here since 1925. FEBRUARY The University has never attempted to control or abol- ish the practice, insofar as I have been able to determine. He adds. It would be very difficult, if not impos- sible, to make an accurate estimate of the percentage of students who indulge in tea-dancing. The best that can be said, under the circumstances, is that many students participate in the pastime, and to some, it is the most enjoyable of all social activities on the campus. Similarly, there is no _rule against tea-dancing at Kansas State College student hang-outs. But the cus- tom was dropped there when the cabaret licenses, which establishments permitting dancing were require d to purchase, became prohibitive in their cost. Iowa State College, too. has no specific rule pro- hibiting tea-dancing. Writes Business Manager Charles Reynolds, of the Bomb, The basic rule on this matter at Iowa State is that all dancing parties require the presence of at least one couple of chaperones certi- fied by the college. At present there is no tea-dancing at any of the after-school hang-outs around the campus. During winter quarter there are tea-dances, known as ' Cyclone Twisters. ' given in the Memorial Union. Nor does the University of Nebraska frown on tea- dances. Editor ViIIiam Marsh, of the Comhusker, reports, Ve started having tea-dances here last year, at the close of football season, and when Saturday afternoons seemed a little dull. They were held at downtown hotels, and proved to be huge successes. I think that as soon as the Union Building is completed (by September, 193 ). they will be a usual affair, with complete sanction of the faculty, for said body has never opposed them as yet. The University of Oklahoma, too, sanctions tea- dances, and a number of hang-outs in Norman enjoy a substantial patronage from student dancers. Departing briefly from Big Six realms, one finds a novel innovation at the University of Iowa, a Big Ten school. There a soft-drink night club has been opened under University sponsorship. All of the features of a night club, sans alcoholic beverages, have made this spot a popular student resort, and since the inaugura- tion of the idea, a second club has been established. Favorable reaction to this night-club plan has repeatedly occurred as the news of the venture reached collegiate circles elsewhere. Jayhawker students, dis- cussing tea-dances, as well as Iowa ' s successful ven- ture, have spoken heartily in approval of the night-club. But their interest in this newest university social development has not lessened their participation in the tea-dance controversy. They are balancing the two sides of the controversy, and in this quarter of the game, the score now stands: Opponents of tea-dances are relying upon a Gentle- man ' s Agreement to maintain the status quo. They defend the ban on the ground that a lunatic fringe of wormy apples spoiled the whole orchard: that stu- dents already have ample opportunities to dance, and further occasions would prove detrimental to academic and extra-curricular activities; that, in other words, the students should be spared worries and temptations in alloting their time. But defendants in the case believe that their score in (Continued on Page 236) Missouri students take advantage of the tea-dancing at the Black and Gold JAYHAWKER GDI THE JITS? ,,,,,,,, Perhaps you too are haunted by spectres of coke glasses and coffee cups A LGERNON called his mother a nasty name and . A. swung on the doctor, who ducked deftly. I can ' t understand it, Doctor, said Algy ' s mother. Algy was such a sweet child until he went t o K.U. The doctor looked grave. It ' s a strange malady, Mrs. Bjones. Ve have noticed it in several young people, all of whom were attending the University. Yesterday I had a young lady in the office who had been beating her grandmother. Vhat can it be? asked Mrs. Bjones in a horri- fied whisper. The doctor pressed her hand sympathetically. It ' s a combination of coffee nerves and coke jitters. ' Mrs. Bjones swooned. The chairman rapped his gavel on the table. Gen- tlemen, he said, since our last meeting I have received letters from several irate fathers. They com- plain that their children ' s minds are being corrupted at the University. ' He paused to give greater import to his words. Gentlemen, the heinous doctrine of Socialism has reared its ugly head in our fair University. Several members of the Board nodded solemnly. They want a cooperative bookstore, said one. And they want an increase in the appropriation, said another. They want us to spend money just like a bunch of Socialists, or New Dealers. Vhy, his face turned slightly purple, they ' d have us unbal- ancing the budget! There ' s something wrong at Lawrence, said the chairman. We II appoint a committee to investigate. The Board gravely nodded assent. Vhat, you may well ask, is the meaning, if any, of all this apparently unrelated nonsense? Nonsense? Nonsense! The strange malady and the appearance of unorthodox ideas on the campus have a definite relation, and are of vital interest to every one of you. How do you spend your leisure time? The doctor wouldn ' t have been at a loss to explain the epidemic of jitters if he ' d ever seen the Union fountain of a morning or afternoon. Students sit star- ing blankly at the walls drumming on the table with their fingertips, or gossiping aimlessly about what she said, and then I said, ' and drinking endless cups of coffee and glasses of coke. The chairman might have been able to explain the deplorable condition s on the campus if he ' d known how hard pressed the students are for something to do. As a matter of fact, it s a wonder we don ' t have nudists, walkathons, cock-fights and any number of things. By CARL SMITH Geographically, it would be difficult to pick a worse location than Lawrence for a university. It puts one out a bit to explain why we don t have winter sports when it gets as cold here as anywhere else in the country. VhiIe students at Visconsin or Dartmouth are skimming about the lakes and wooded hills on skates, skis, and iceboats, we can skip stones in Pot- ter ' s Lake. W hile they bask on the beach at Florida or Southern California, we can drive twenty miles for the questionable pleasure of swimming in State Lake or stay in Lawrence and chew dust. So winter sports and summer sports are both out. There have been rumors that a few students, intrepid and undaunted, have taken to the tennis and handball courts. The last brave soul who tried a game of tennis hit a pile of gravel in the middle of the court while traveling at high speed. The car overturned, throwing the occupants into a nearby field and hysterics. They were treated at XVatkin ' s hospital for minor cuts and bruises . . . Rescue squads are still searching the debris for the body of the last athletically-inclined person who entered a handball court. It (the handball court) collapsed. Obviously the atmosphere of Mt. Oread is not con- ducive to keeping fit. On a clear, still night one can, it is said, hear muscles atrophying. Perhaps, after all. it s a good thing some of us have a hill to climb. A chap has to stay in shape, you know. Having effectively disposed of the sports angle, we turn to the social whirl. What social whirl? we might ask if cynically inclined. Checkers in the Union building? Weather permitting, a few males can be accommo- dated on the porches and surrounding terrain of the sorority houses, but this disposes of only a limited number. Quite a few take their dates to the library, but both the amorous couples and those trying to study find this to be an unsatisfactory arrangement, and again so many unreasonable persons all over the library insist on studying that it ' s hard to find a quiet nook suitable for clandestine intrigues. Some have turned in desperation to concerts and lectures at night, but the problem of the afternoons remains unsolved. Maybe we don ' t get around enough, but frankly we ' ve never found a satisfactory solution to this problem. As for stag affairs, there seems nothing for the men to do but argue the athletic situation or Marxian dialectic or drink beer or both. To make things worse, (Continued on Page 240) FEBRUARY TWD TICKETS TO CALIFORNIA A pair of lucky University students take a week s trip to the Golden Vcst Boarding the California-bound bus THAT supposedly infallible axiom. There is safety in numbers, proved itself quite vulnerable on tbe Friday evening of December 11 at tbe Granada theatre. There was in attendance a crowd of trembling hopefuls clutching handfuls of yellow coupons, only two of vhich held the correct combination of digits. Such incorrigible optimists as Dave Hamlin, who held tickets numbering upwards into the thousands, could not picture failure, but it fell to the lot of a duet holding comparatively few tickets to carry off the honors for the night. Thus was the fraudulency of the aforementioned axiom proved and Maxyne Woody and Bill Howard emerged winners of the annual Jayhawker-Granada Rose Bowl contest. To go even further, the winner in the female half of the equation did not even offer one of her own tickets for the prize, but instead gained recognition on one graciously proffered by Frank Harwi (can you imagine the poor fellow ' s feelings on holding the win- ning ticket for the girls). Miss Woody, an attractive Chi Omega, won on a ticket drawn by Mayor Alfred Lawrence, then drew that of her running mate from the giant hopper. Of course it is rather hard for a person to record his reactions at such a moment, but Bill felt pretty cool after the first shock. Prolonged waiting on the stage By FRED LrrrooY soon started my knees shaking, ' to use Bill ' s own words, so it is apparent that his period of stage fright was somewhat delayed. It might be interesting to note that he bought this wonderful journey for only four dollars the price of a book at Rowland s Book Store. Economical, to say the least! The great adventure started for the couple at 12:50 A.M., Sunday, December 27, in Wichita. Both trav- eled there by bus from their homes: Mr. Howard from Bronson, Miss Woody from Barnard. Since the nite coach was no longer in operation, they were obliged to travel on the regular bus, but this hardly proved a bane to their pleasure, for, as Bill says, We were with a lot of people going to L. A. and had a swell time, especially with a bunch of boys from Illinois U. Ironical though it may seem, the bus floundered in the snow in the mountains of Arizona and had to be towed to firm ground. Having finally negotiated the journey through the sunny south, they arrived in Los Angeles. Tuesday at midnight seven hours late. They went at once to their rooms at the Hotel Hay- worth for some much-needed rest, then were ready for the week ' s activities. Wednesday morning S. E. Schwahn. manager of the Granada theatre, his wife, and Mr. Parkhurst of Kansas City met them and together they proceeded to the M-G-M studio, where they dined with a member of the publicity staff. In the studio dining room with them were such satellites as Clark Gable. Spencer Tracy, Eileen Pringle. and Fred Perry, to mention only a few. After dinner they saw Betty Furness working in the picture Betty Beats A Drum with Guy Kibbee. Incidentally, Bill informed me that the studio covers eighty-five acres and you can take that for what you will. Wednesday night Miss Voody and Mr. Howard went to the Palamar, where Phil Harris was playing.

The middle of final week finds him like most of the student body, living on black coffee and a bundle of nerves. Despite the fact that a final probably never proved anything much, like the poor they are always with us. And in spite of the fact that there is a popular rumor that prosperity is with us again, the Dean, self- styled friend of the students, sent the word down the line to his minions on the faculty that they had been dealing too liberally with the students in the matter of grades. The order from his office stated that no less than fifty percent of the enrollment should be making not better than C, and that they should govern themselves accordingly and crack down. And if fifty percent of us are to be the lucky recipients of A ' s, we can all about guess what the rest can expect. It would appear reasonable that a faculty which is as brilliant as we are assured that ours is, could devise some method a little more fair and a little less nerve-racking than that of the final examination. But if it were good enough for grandpappy it ' s good enough for us, and no doubt when the present generation is as remote from the student interests as the faculty are, they too will be somewhat calloused on the matter. In the Christmas issue considerably more space was spent on the athletic situation than was justified by the calibre of the department involved but a word is necessary now to complete the picture. After pointing without pride and viewing with alarm all fall, the Kansan and the student body can now contemplate with satisfaction the newer aspect of our athletic organization. The athletic board, its deliberations haunted by the grizzly spectre of a $25,000 deficit, and with the dismal howls of the wolf at the stadium door echoing in its ears, was very loath to By THE JAYWALKER The Sour Owl appears with new propellers The library becomes a fresh air school take any decisive or constructive action in the case, and in its hand the status quo was apparently quite safe. Our oratorical ex-director of athletics spent his days in seclu- sion with his phenomenal basketball team, his nights breaking out in a rhetorical rash and engaging in Phillippics against the ignorant student proletariat which failed to appreciate the heroic effort of the athletic department to reflect glory on our alma mater. Early each morning he ran to get the paper and see if he still had his job. At this point the Board of Regents entered the scene. They proved themselves a practical group of practical men, probably not over-invested in stadium bands, being possessed by too much business acumen to speculate in K. U. ' s gridiron suc- cess. Feeling, no doubt, a sense of shame for their alma mater ' s gridiron debacle comparable to that felt by the students, they privately expressed the opinion that everyone would be happier if Phog would keep his mouth shut, and officially informed the athletic board that stern measures were imperative. Accordingly the athletic board went into a sultry session, and Our impressions of recent happenings on the Hill after due deliberation abolished the post of athletic director, reorganized the board and put the managerial duties in the hands of a faculty committee. For the first time in the memory of any- one on the campus the papers quoted Dr. Allen as saying, I have no statement to make. Since then Phog has confined his activity to polishing up his corking good basketball team, which has been to date all-victorious in conference games, although humbled by Southwestern and Baker. Two weeks before finals the long cold winter set in. King Illustrations by Carof onnson Playing intramural tiddledywinks at meal time Winter presented the students with a New Year ' s greeting in the form of six inches of snowy sleet. The ice blanket added numerous complexities to the business of getting around the Hill. Cars skidded, got stuck, refused to start, and refused to stop. Those brave souls who could summon enough courage to essay the hills enjoyed all the thrills of mountain climbing. The sub-zero weather and the snow combined to curtail severely the attendance at the Soph Hop. Hop-goers praised Joe Venuti ' s music but were unanimous in their lack of enthusiasm for the size of the crowd. The prevailing atmospheric and meteorological conditions enabled the Sigma Chi to entertain their freshmen at the annual snow festival and winter track carnival. Long a tradition with the boys at 1459 Tennessee, it is also becoming a much looked - forward-to event at the Kappa house. The festivities consist of obstacle races in the snow between pairs of unclad freshmen. The boys start and finish their race by being doused with a bucket of cold water. Sounds brutal, but the freshmen say they like it. Another cold weather incident was precipitated when one of (ConljnueJ on Page 237 JAYHAWKER THE HAWK FLIES HIGH , . Kansas basketeers have won more than their share of titles RANSAS football teams may be tbe doormat of the Big Six, but her basketball teams have certainly left muddy tracks in the kitchens of all her conference playmates. Championship after championship has been copped by the Jayhawkers and their enemies still can ' t fathom their uncanny style. Basketball was introduced into the University in 1899 by the inventor of the game, Dr. James Naismith, still a professor in physical education in the Univer- sity. Doctor Naismith coached very ably until 1907 and among his pupils was a clever-playing, sharp- shooting lad named Allen. When Naismith went over to teaching physical education entirely in 1908 his former pupil, then known as Forrest Fog Allen, took over the coach- ing reins for two years. These two years were bright ones for Jayhawker cage teams and they won the Missouri Valley championship both years. Besides coaching Kansas in 1908, ambitious Fog Allen was also coaching the Haskell Indian National Aborigi- nal team which won 19 out of 24 games while travel- ing 5,000 miles, and the Baker University team. Leaving Kansas for medical school Allen studied especially the treatment of athletic injuries and in 1912 he became head football, basketball and baseball coach at Warrensburg Normal. While Allen was coaching the Teachers to seven consecutive basketball titles Kansas basketball was progressing nicely under W. O. Hamilton who drove the Jayhawkers to two champion- ships and a tie for another. In 1919 Dr. Forrest C. Phog Allen (The Ph was substituted for the F for some unknown reason) came back to his old alma mater as athletic director and before the season was over he was also coaching basketball. Over these sixteen years Kansas teams have fought to eleven conference titles, and according to Allen it has been fight all the way. For each year the underdogs have been yelping at the Jayhawks ' heels, fighting desperately for the prestige they would get by nipping the leading Kansan s victory march. Nebraska and Minnesota face the same situation in football. Great names have come out of Kansas basketball and amusing incidents and others not so amusing can be remembered by the old timers who like to argue over the respective merits of their favorites whether it is Ray Ebling, Tus Ackerman, George Rody or some other well-known satellite. Most disgruntled fans who shout disapprovingly at referees, Hey, Jesse, where ' s your horse, never had By WILLIAM FITZGERALD the opportunity that Kansas fans of 1899 did. The famous old desperado himself played against Kansas that year in the first game ever played by the Univer- sity. Jesse James played right back on the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. team and according to the account of the game played a rough, and at times, a very ungentle- manly game. He was cautioned and punished by the referee several times. His roughness apparently per- suaded the University team to stay out of his territory and Jesse ' s team won the game 16-5. Several weeks later when K. U. again played the Y team Jesse was dodging the law so the Lawrence boys dodged their opponents, sans young James, often enough to win 17-14. Apparently this daring young gunman was to his basketball team what his horse was to him. Kansas invited Ottawa over in 1908 to help dedicate Robinson Gymnasium, and then after the game started, the Jayhawkers forgot all about their invited guests. Allen ' s team ran up 31 points before Ottawa got any, but remembering their duties as hosts the visitors were allowed to score 22 points while Kansas was making 66. That year ' s team had 18 victories against 6 defeats and the next year the Jayhawkers led by Earl Voodward and Tommy Johnson piled up 25 victories against 3 setbacks. Hamilton s debut as a coach in 1910 was highly successful and his athletes won 18 out of 19 games. Their only defeat was to Washington 16-15, but that vvasn t enough to keep Kansas out of the champion- ship. His 1914 and 1915 teams lost only one game apiece while winning 33. Some great stars have appeared, cavorted and van- ished from the Kansas basketball picture. Picking an all-star team, according to Doctor Allen would be prac- tically impossible and would give the average person nervous prostration. (Or whatever the average person would be likely to contract.) Doctor Allen himself has scored the greatest num- ber of points in a single game, his 26 points against Emporia State Normal in 1906 being tops. M. B. Miller who captained both the 1906 and 1907 teams, Earl Woodward, Tommy Johnson, Charles Greenlees, the high-scoring Lefty Sproull, Stuffy Dunmire, Slats Cole, Dutch Uhrlaub all of these men added their bit to the picture in its growing stage.

The highly publicized, much-made-of idol of the Hill is John Milton Phillips (that Milton would be missed if omitted wouldn ' t it? John Phillips sounds just like any of us but put in the name of the ancient bard and you have something. We strongly suspect that John is fully aware of this bit of theatrics). He holds the highest position that any one on the campus may have, that of president of the Men ' s Student Council. Unfortunately his power in that body is slightly curbed by reason of the fact that he is a member of the minority body the Pachacamacs. However he struggles on and manages to get what he wants. John is a member of Phi Gamma Delta social fr ternity and resides at their elegant abode.

What President Phillips men, Ruth Learned is to the women of thi As president of the Women ' s Student G Association she takes care of everythinjf per to the coeds of the University. There jgrno hes in her movements, either, for Miss Learned is distinctly a woman of action. A senior in the college, she graduates this spring to begin a career as a dietician. Just whose diet she will supervise is a matter of doubt at present. Ruth ' s list of college activities includes everything that any one girl possibly could do in the four short years spent here. She is secretary of her sorority, Gamma Phi Beta; has been a member of the Jay Janes and the Quack Club; was vice-president of Sigma Eta Chi, Congregational sorority; vice-president of Omicron Nu, Home Economics sorority; and swim- ming manager for the Women ' s Athletic Association. Her summers are never wasted, for she keeps busy tht a as a councilor in a Camp Fire Girl camp in Minnesota. Last summer she served as swimming instructor in the camp. It was at this camp that she picled up her new hobby of photography. She has a n w German camera and takes shots of the Gamma Phi sisters. Ruth was born in Kansas City, Missouri, went to there, graduated from Central High and still gjjpes that s her home address. She must be the baby class at the University, for she will be n she finishes this spring. Her birthday lin Blond, curly-haired Ray Noble is a ution. There would be some doubt of the I the famous Kansas basketball team without the services of the flashy Noble who has captained thel quintet in each of its games this year. Ray was ( a member of last year s championship squad and yed in all of the important games. This is his third r as a regular on the cage team. ie is a member of Kappa Sigma social fraternity; jngs to the junior men ' s honor club, the Owl Society, and is active in the K Club, University organization. v ,0-lRay is majoring in Journalism and has been assist- sports editor of the Kansan during the past mester. He plans to coach high school athletic teams hen he graduates and teach journalism. He was born in VeIlington, Kansas on the 14th October, 1915. His education was received in Kan- sas schools and the Junior College of Compton, Cali- fornia. Because of Kansas ' famous reputation as a track and basketball school Ray came from California to attend the University. That he managed to cop the Big Six championship in the pole vault and do won- ders in the basketball world attests the fact that his choice in schools was not far wrong. He believes that subsidizing athletes is coming though he doesn ' t favor the plan particularly. He says, too. that all athletes aren ' t as poverty-stricken as peo- ple seem to think after all this hullabaloo about sub- sidization. There are a lot of boys out for the various teams who don ' t have to worry about the money they spend but you just don t hear about them. OFFICER. Elizabeth (more affectionately known as Liz ) Shearer leaves school at the end of the first semester to accompany her mother on a health-reviving tour of the Southwest. She is coming back, however, to spend another semester or so finishing her college work. Liz will be missed sorely in many places. The ' omen ' s Student Government Association have been depending on her to take care of their money this year, for she is their duly elected treasurer. The Union Building will have to struggle along as best it can with her absent from the Union Operating Committee. The JAYHAWKER will miss her the most, how- ever, for she has been the capable secretary of that magazine for three years a position which has called for a great expenditure of mental energy-, time and intelligence. Down at the Kappa Alpha Theta house, where Elizabeth resides, the girls will have a hard time find- ing onyone to fill her shoes. There she has been rush captain and Pan-Hellenic representative. And the Campus Heavens knows beauty is scarce enough and the Hill can hardly afford to lose a woman so pretty that even the unesthetic engineers were willing to call her their Queen. Elizabeth first saw the light of day at Chillicothe, Missouri, June 25, 1915. At Chillicothe she received all of her preparatory education and her home is still there. She has been taking work in the Business School and plans, when she graduates, to go into the busi- ness world, preferably as some man s private secre- tary. VII fire our secretary any day to hire Liz. HUMORIST (?). To the erratic Mr. Hamlin the campus owes its monthly dose of humor in the form of the not-too-pure Sour Owl. ' Dave was a humorist before his days as publisher of the Owl. Through- out the spring semester last year he edited and wrote the On the Shin ' column for the University Daily Hanson. He rescued the column from the fraternity- gossip news department to which it had sunk and made of it the record-breaking Shin that it was. Dave was elected to the Kansan Board, ruling body of the Hill daily, this fall but was forced to resign when the Owl required so much of his time. He is in his senior year of college, a major in the Journalism department. Though he thought it was silly that any one should want to know what his age is, he admitted reluctantly that he was born July 28, 1914. Dave is a Kansas City, Kansas boy. He was born, educated and is still at home in Kansas largest city. He is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity and was a delegate to the national convention of that organization in Dallas. Texas last fall. Dave is one of the leading Barbarians on the Hill. But that has not prevented his having an active social life. Some of his social expeditions have been history making epochs. Despite a game leg that he acquired in an automobile accident a year or so ago, Hamlin dances with the best of them.

That term is far too trite, over-worked, and over-sentimentalized. It conjures up only pictures of soused alumni, insincere cheers, and football controversies. The force that intrigues me is something quite different. It is a kind of pervasive feeling with which Kansas University is imbued; per- haps it should be called the K.U. group spirit. It is absolutely unique to the Hill and is subtle enough just to elude description. School spirit in the rah-rah-tear- up-the-goal posts sense is on its death-bed; but the K. U. group spirit of which I speak has a power and unity that are immediately apparent. It is manifested on every side. During the recent holidays at a popular rendezvous in Kansas City a college crowd was gathered, the majority of course from M.U. and K.U. The K.U. students shoved tables together and gathered in great, genial groups; the M.U. students drifted in by twos and sat apart. By one-thirty the place was ringing with K.U. songs, fraternity and sorority songs, old and new songs swell- ing from the K.U. tables. What one K.U. gang started the other K.U. groups joined enthusiastically. On the other hand, the M.U. students, though equally nu- merous, made only one miserable attempt to retaliate with a stab at an M.U. battle hymn; then they gave up. It is manifested in the parental ties of K.U. At the beginning of this semester, a Lawrence taxi driver was telling me about four train-trips he had made that day to bring in four new students for K.U. One was from California, one from Iowa, one from New York, and the last from Texas. Vhen I asked them why they came here, the driver went on, they all said it was because their fathers or mothers or aunts or some such folks had gone here and had said so much about it that they wanted to see what it was like. Now, I used to hack up in Champaign, Illinois, at I.U., he continued, but kids never came there for such reasons. Our group spirit and mutual feeling is manifested also in the very fact that we familiarly call our school, The Hill. The term is so universally used by the students that it goes unnoticed, yet it seldom fails to surprise strangers. The campuses of most American colleges are laid out on the level, not clearly distin- guished sometimes from the surrounding town. Many, such as Missouri University, have a campus of scat- tered quadrangles, with large patches of town between. To refer to such colleges by a single, compact, cozy term is manifestly ridiculous. K.U., on the other hand, is quite separated from the town, and from the rest of the world. It is built on a hill, which, since the beginning of man, has meant aloofness, independence. We are so much a part of The Hill that it is ours. It is hard to describe, this feeling, but it is sensed to some degree every time one looks out over the Wakarusa valley stretching out far below us till it meets the sky. We are a complete unit, a world unto ourselves. That, if nothing more, would create a real unity of spirit impossible at any other school. But the chief manifestation, and also, it seems to me, the chief cause of this spirit is the Jayhawk. The power and unity of feeling are derived directly from this amazing little symbol that has come to mean the University as has no other college emblem in the coun- try. Other colleges have their tigers and ears of corn and panthers and bison, but their significance is limited. Nowhere else is it such an advantage to have businesses, from lunch rooms to taxicabs, named for a school symbol. There are no tiger lunch rooms or bison taxicabs. But the Jayhawk docile and the Jay- hawk ferocious display their gaudy hues everywhere in Lawrence. The fantastic little bird is no longer a little bird at all; he is a symbol that has assumed a new and vastly larger significance. Elsewhere, a Corn- husker or a Panther refers only to a member of the varsity team of the respective school. But a Jayhawker is anyone who goes to school on The Hill. With other schools the use of the emblematic name is often arti- ficial or stilted. But the Jayhawk is real, vital, matter- of-fact. This is the supreme example of the group spirit of K. U. Anybody can say I ' m from M.U., I ' m from S.M.U., or I ' m from K.U. That carries with it only a hazy picture of an abstract college, somewhere, vaguely. But to say I ' m a Jayhawker is to bring to mind a flood of vivid memories, not only of the arrogant little bird, but of friends, of Big Games, of shows, of bull-sessions, of jelly-joints, of dances, of a thousand details that are The Hill. The reason for this special significance of the Jay- hawker is speculative. Perhaps it ' s because of the historical origin of the word, referring to any Kansan. Civil war-time guerillas didn ' t shoot down Kansans. They shot down them ornery Jayhawkers. Frontiers- men didn ' t say. Wild Bill Hickok ' s a crack shot. They said, That Jayhawker ' s a dead-eye. So the Jayhawk wasn ' t just arbitrarily chosen as the symbol of Kansas University because it was easily made into (Continued on Page 235) JAYHAWKER THE KANSAN WINS AGAIN , But only a few of the University ' s needs are provided for FROM all indications the next two years will see K. U. go on depreciating just as it has since the first depression legislature met six years ago unless larger appropriations are forthcoming from the state legislature. With the exception of a grant of $55,000 for a continuation of the repairs to Dyche Museum, gained only after a long and bitter campaign by the Daily Kansan and other interested parties, the 1937 legislature made no increase in their appropriation to the University at the opening of the present session. Whether further appropriations will restore the amount to that of the pre-depression years is only a matter of conjecture, but it is painfully evident that the Uni- versity is sadly in need of more money with which to pay salaries, maintain the present buildings, and resume the building program which has Iain dormant for nearly ten years. It is certain that Dyche Museum will be completed and again opened to the public, but the library must go begging again. The 145,000 volumes now in tem- porary racks or in storage will not be available to the students for another long period of time unless money for more stacks is furnished by the state. In addition, rising prices make it imperative that faculty salaries be increased to something near the pre-depression level if the University is to continue to hold high-calibre teachers and bid against more pros perous schools for new ones. Then there is the building program which has received no attention for these many years. The University does have a building program, a landscaping program, and an eye to the future for better and more competent instructors. The amount of money allotted during the past few years has not allowed the much-needed improvements, but at this time it is felt by University authorities and students that grants for improvements should be made avail- able. The building plan provides for twelve new dormi- tories, six new buildings, and six wings to be added to buildings already partially constructed. A landscap- ing program would, if carried out, include numerous drives, scenic walks, and trees and shrubs. A fine arts building, in two sections, located behind the Administration building, would house departments now crowded into three or four buildings over the campus. The journalism department will be moved into Fowler Shops if and when the new addition is added to the Engineering building. The R.O.T.C. will have a field house somewhere in the valley behind the Gymnasium. The proposed Education building has a good chance of standing on the spot where the Bible College now stands if that tract of land is obtained By VIRGIL MITCHELL by the University. The much-needed laboratory build- ing to house the Pharmacy school, Anatomy, and Biochemistry departments will stand in the corner beyond Snow hall. Eraser Hall will be altered or torn down and replaced by a new building within the next ten years. Even though Eraser stands in our minds and in the minds of alumni as something everlasting, she has seen her best days. It is doubtful if they will tear her down, but the whole building will have to undergo such a rebuilding that we will not know it as it is today. At the present time nothing is being done about the, or should we say a, building program. The fault does not lie with the administration or the Board of Regents, but with the legislature. The alumni and students can blame themselves partially for the lack of interest shown in their own school. Nothing has been done in the line of lobbying or campaigning for the development of the University since 1Q2Q. There were days when students and alumni went to Topeka and appeared before committees in the interest of K. U. To those groups goes the thanks for Corbin Hall, and for that matter all of the buildings built between 1920 and 1930. The arguments presented by the legislators consists of three points. They say that they have three kitties to feed out of the small amount of revenue today where they once had only the state schools. Social security is one of the kitties mentioned and the other is the highways. Highways are a necessity to the state and nation. The fact that they are is why the national government stands a large part of the cost of building them. True, the state must maintain them but not to the point where the other kitties starve to death. Social security will prove a great drag on the taxpayer also. New taxes are being proposed that will take care of part of the cost. The National government is doing more than its share toward financing the plans of the states. But putting finances aside for the moment let us consider the import of social security. Going to the basic cause of social insecurity we find one of the causes lying in a poor vocational and general educa- tional system. To cure a social disease it must be attacked at the source, so why not build up our edu- cational plants? They are a large part of the social security problem. Let it be said here that a building program is not all that is necessary to a well-rounded educational sys- The new Vaffeins Hall arises beside its sister as the latest addition to the University tern. The faculty must be considered, something that is not being done under the present budget. At the present time numerous pamphlets and statistics are at hand for the benefit of the legislature. The faculty at K. U. is the most underpaid of any rating western or midwestern school. The appropriation for salaries and maintenance have gone down 15 to 30 percent for the first and 50 percent for the second, while the building appropriation for the last six years has provided only for the building of the Library steps and the first $25,000 for the partial repair of Dyche Museum. At the same time it is important to note that the enrollment has been on the increase since 1954, when the depression low was being felt. The increase accounts for almost a thousand students in residence attendance, in addition to the freshmen colleges scat- tered over the state, and the increased number taking advantage of the correspondence work offered. A num- ber of our leading educators have either died or been hired from us during this time. They have not been replaced. This means that the quality of our school is suffering, and foretells of a time when K. U. will not be a ranking school of the West. Another problem to be faced in the near future is that of housing. Many students are now living in frame houses without even a minimum amount of improvements. It is almost impossible to find a room near the Hill that does not have from seven to twelve people using one bath, and was constructed to accom- modate not more than six persons. Heating is another of the problems constantly being thrashed out in one of the dean s offices. Furniture is of the worst kind. Warped desk tops, nothing but straight chairs, anti- quated beds, and insufficient closet space are other inconveniences to be put up with by students. It is easy to see that these houses, most of them under 50 years of age, cannot last much longer. The increasing enrollment furnishes the other angle. The school must solve the problem as it has been solved at other schools, by building dormitories. The University plan provides for some twelve dormitories, sites of building subject to change. These dormitories can be built over a long period of time, as they are of a rambling corridor type. Besides giving the students decent living conditions they would take care of the overcrowded housing situation. A carillon tower to rise above the other buildings and present a view of the valley that will leave observers awe-stricken is the most expensive item on the landscaping program. This artistic addition would stand behind the Administration building in a small court separating it from the proposed Fine Arts buildings. Drives will cut new and scenic paths through the groves and valleys. Two drives will terrace the hill behind Ad. One of these will border the Fine Arts building and the other will come out of the Mississippi (Continued on Page 240| JAYHAWKER CAGER5 GET A FLYING START Although twice defeated, the Kansas basketeers lead the Big Six THE late lamented football season having dragged to a weary conclusion, students and other Kansas sports fans turned, with a sigh of relief, to the Jay- hawker basketball team, perennial champion of the Big Six. After the first two games had been played, however, people began to wonder if they had turned in the right direction. Fred Dead-eye Dick Pralle couldn ' t hit the basket with a handful of buckshot, Ray Noble looked more like Ray Noble, the orchestra leader, than Ray Noble, the all-conference eager, and the sophomores who had performed so brilliantly as freshmen last year looked like two other guys. In their opening game, the Jayhawkers defeated Vashburn by an even smaller margin than the foot- ball team had, said margin being four points, 30-26. T he worst was yet to come though, this in the nature of a 26-22 defeat at the hands of little Southwestern college, in a game played at Winfield. Once again gloom enshrouded Mount Oread but not for long. Dr. Forrest C. Phog Allen, crafty Kansas cage coach, hitched up his pants, took out his monkey F. C. Phog Allen, basketball coach By HORACE MASON wrench and began tinkering with the parts of the Jayhawker basketball machine. Satisfied eventually, he gave the machine a shove and, lo and behold, it started rolling toward another Big Six basketball championship. The Washburn Ichabods did not show much in the season ' s opener but they got the ball in the basket almost as often as did the Kansas men, which wasn ' t very often. Both quintets played in typical early sea- son style. The loss to Southwestern was attributable to the fact that the Jayhawkers counted only eight field goals. Each team converted six free throws, but Southwestern made ten goals from the field to hand Kansas an unexpected loss. The defeat served to wake the team up some and the Jayhawkers managed to eke out a one-point victory over the crack Baker quintet, winning 36-35 in a game played at Baldwin. The game, which went into over- time was a furiously played affair with the Baker sharpshooters peppering the basket accurately but los- ing the game on free throws. Baker made good on only three charity tosses as compared to 12 dropped in by the Jayhawkers. Pralle, Golay and Noble each con- nected for three field goals with Pralle tallying four free throws, Golay three and Noble two. The following night, Kansas played a return engage- ment with Southwestern on the Auditorium court and gained ample revenge for the defeat it had received at VinfieId. The Jayhawkers were in fine form and mid- way through the second half had the score doubled on Southwestern. Kansas ' reserves played the rest of the game however and in the final minutes of play Southwestern broke loose with a scoring flurry which reduced the Jayhawker lead to 39-27 as the game ended. The outstanding result of the game was the new style of play which it produced. AI Wellhausen, 6-foot 7-inch center, was in the Jayhawkers ' starting lineup and played the entire game, although he had seen no action in the three preceding games. XVellhausen ' s part in the game was to act as goal guard and knock away the shots of his opponents, a feat which he performed in a decisive manner, batting away heaves that appeared certain two-pointers and setting the crowd wild. The following afternoon, in practice, the Jayhawkers style of play was changed by Dr. Allen to fit around XVellhausen ' s act and the new style has been used 1 I M A Southwesterner attempts a shot in every game since then. In addition to the stunt being a great defensive factor. Dr. Allen believes that it will hasten the raising of the baskets to 12 feet, a move which he has been behind for several years. Kansas Vesleyan was the Jayhawkers foe in a game at Salina during the Christmas vacation. The Crimson and Blue cagers won with ease, being far ahead at half-time and leading 56-23 when the gun sounded, ending the game. A total of 15 players were in the game for Kansas. Several days after vacation ended, the Jayhawkers acquired a second blotch on their record. The Baker team, which earlier had forced Kansas into an over- time period, came to town and upset the home quintet by a score of 32-27. The veteran Baker outfit was at its best that night and was aided by Kansas weakness in two important departments goal-shoot- ing and rebounding. The Jayhawkers made a very low percentage of their shots and got practically none of the rebounds. The defeat at the ha nds of Baker caused more alarm in the ranks of Jayhawker followers. If Baker could beat Kansas, they wondered how Dr. Allen s quintet could hope to down the undefeated Oklahoma Sooners in their first conference game. In addition to the ability of the Sooner team, Kansas had to over- come the further handicap of playing away from home. Despite all this, the Jayhawkers opened their confer- ence season successfully, winning by the narrow margin of two points, 28-26. A second highly successful innovation featured the Kansas play in this game. Paul Rogers, senior reserve, who had been used at guard since his freshman year, started the game at a forward position and during the evening captured high scoring honors among the Jay- hawkers with four field goals. This change bolstered the Kansas scoring punch materially. After a loose ball in the Mexico game An international match was next on the schedule with Kansas meeting the University- of Mexico team. This contest served mainly as an opportunity for the Jayhawker reserves to gain experience and for the Mexican cagers to demonstrate their musical ability at halftime. Xone of the Kansas regulars played more than half the game and altogether 18 players saw action. Between halves, the University of Mexico ' s representatives drew down thunderous applause with some outstanding piano playing by one of the squad members and renditions of Mexican songs by the squad as a whole. During the second half the Mexi- cans narrowed the gap between the teams but fell behind quickly when Dr. Allen sent in the first team. The final score of the contest was 42-22. The good will involved in the game with Mexico was in sharp contrast with the resumption of the blood and thunder series between Kansas and Missouri a few days later. The two teams went at it hammer and tongs and in the end Kansas was acclaimed the vic- tor, 59-27. Missouri had a height advantage on Kansas but little more. An interesting feature of the contest was the meeting of two 6-foot 7-inch centers, Well- hausen of Kansas and Brookfield of Missouri, with (Continued on Page 238) Fourlf. Rou : Bynum. Sawtell. M.

With the help of Dr. M. T. Sud- ler, then dean of the scientific department of the medical school, a charter was obtained from Nu Sigma Nu and installed February 6, 1909, at that time the first medi- cal fraternity on this campus. Since that time the local chapter has been constantly active in the betterment of the intellectual, moral, and social life connected with medi- cal fraternities at the University of Kansas.

Marvin Hall is his official home, though he frequents almost every building on the campus (except the Law Barn) for his courses. Whether his traditional dress was chosen with a conscious effort at individuality or with an eye toward the prac- tical remains a doubt, but it is a well recognized fact that his ill-appearing garb is synonymous with long hours spent on the Hill. The engineer carries, as a normal course, 18 hours a semester, and very fre- quently he has to take 20 hours. Many of these courses are labs, and his afternoons are spent in drafting, test- ing materials, blowing fuses, or concocting offensive odors.

Departments were added during the passing years, and Blake Hall, the Chemistry Building, and Fowler Shops were appropriated to house the increasing enrollment. In 1907 Marvin Hall was completed. Haworth Hall and engineering laboratories were built, and in 1913, upon the death of Dean Marvin. Professor Perley F. Walker became Dean of the school.

Dean Shaad s death last sum- mer was a severe loss to both the school and the Uni- versity. Professor Frank A. Russell, of the Civil Engineering Department, was appointed to serve as acting dean. The School of Engineering and Architecture, as it has been known since 1927, is the second largest in the University, being exceeded in enrollment only by the college. The school offers standard four and five- year courses of study in six departments: Architecture or Architectural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial or Mechanical Engineering, and Mining Engineering. The students are governed by the Engineering Coun- cil, composed of three officers, a representative from each of the six branches aforementioned, and a repre- sentative from each of the four classes. Members are elected to office in the spring and serve an entire year. The Council fosters continuation of many school traditions and aids in the promulgation of new ones. The Hobnail Hop, annual engineers dance, is held in the spring under the auspices of the Council. An Engineering Queen is elected by the school at large to reign over the event. Expositions and Field Days are also promoted by the Coun- cil. A great deal of publicity throughout the state is given the Exposition, held on even years.

The organization holds as its purpose the plan to originate and carry through movements in the best interests of the junior class, and to create a feeling of fellowship among the students of the University. The Owl Society was founded at the University of Kansas in Feb- ruary of 1914, and its members have always taken an active part in University life. OFFICERS Newton Hoverstock . . Marvin Cox . . . .

The asso- ciation offers to every university woman the opportunity to meet and learn to know others who share her interests, the chance to inspect her own ideas in the light of many old and new thoughts in an effort to mold for herself a working philosophy of life, and thirdly, the privilege of becoming a leader in the association if she proves herself worthy.

OFFICERS Georgia Whitford President Mary Rutter Registrar RHYTHM RECITAL Campus musicians give their admirers a taste of swing concert in the nation ' s first collegiate presentation Responsible for the concert ' s success were drummer Charlie Dotts, arranger ]ohn Sheridan, trombonist Jack Millar, director Louis Forman, vocal director Ross Robertson and trombonist-arranger Hal Dellinger. THE masses of our institution have had their first lesson in Swing. Swing sessions are as yet in their infancy, but all those that have been presented so far have been colossal successes. One of the very first, and most famous, is the one presented in Chicago featuring Benny Goodman. It was intended to be a tea-dance, but the people were too far gone over the music to dance much less drink tea. You see, swing music is a comparatively new thing to most people and, being American, they have to be converted. For this purpose I can think of no one more appropriate than Benny Goodman (I ' m his most ardent fan) to be the originator of Swing Sessions. Swing Concerts have been going on for some time but nothing has ever been said about introducing them into colleges. 1 hat makes us one jump ahead. The first Rhythm Concert presented by the Unit Music Service consisted of picked musicians from the bands of Louie Kuhn and ' Red Blackburn. Now for a review of the concert. An appropriate opener was Benny Goodman ' s Swing Time in the Rockies, followed by the equally good Boston Tea Party. To educate the ignorant the evolution of swing was next presented. First came the corny tune Maple By DOROTHY FRITZ Leaf Rag featuring a fine lick by our boy Frink. The next step up was the old, old tune, Blues My Sweetie Gave Me ' sounded a little sheikish in spots. The standard California came next, and, to quote Mr. Forman, there was plenty of stiff-arm staccato and no small amount of corn. The educational series ended with the recent ' Tain ' t Good. Up to this point the boys had held the spotlight, but it was time to give it up to three lovely ladies in black the Alpha Delta Pi trio. Their first selection was One, Two, Button Your Shoe, followed by Shoe Shine Boy. Getting back to the band Jack Millar ' s fine trom- bone playing introduced Hal Dellinger s arrangement of Getting Sentimental Over You. Little Eddie Singleton did a swell job of the vocal solo. To com- plete this group, the band played hide-and-go-seek with the melody of the tune of When I Grow Too Old To Dream. The rhythm group consisted of three of the best selec- tions presented at the concert. The first was Lookout which was little short of a good old jam-session featur- ing nice clean-cut brass. This was followed by Mood Indigo, arranged by Arthur Babe Moore, former tenor man with Louie Kuhn. House Hop, a tune made famous by Benny Goodman, was presented in a rather novel manner by the band. After such fancy blowing the boys deserved a rest. While they relaxed, Ross Robertson presented his (Continued on Page 239) Conductor Louis Forman with the Unit Music Service ' s concert band FEBRUARY TRAINING EXECUTIVES , An outstanding staff develops future captains of industry in the School of Business, ana 1 uvnat ' s more, pfaces them By ROBERT COREY BEGINNING in 1924 with a nucleus of professors interested in developing a more specialized course of preparation in advanced accounting and finance, the School of Business has expanded until it now occupies a major position among the divisions of the University. Under the capable direction of Dean Frank T. Stockton, who has been head of the school since its inception, a notable and diversified faculty has been obtained, and the number and type of courses increased to embrace all the aspects of the four curricula offered; accounting, marketing, finance, and general business. Within a year after its founding, the development of the school was recognized nationally by its admission to the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. Further national recognition came in 1Q26 with the installation of a chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary commerce fraternity. The faculty of the School of Business were quick to realize that their function was not completed with merely teaching the student, and the Business Place- ment Bureau was organized. This bureau, under the direction of Dean Stockton, attempts to secure employ- ment for all graduates of the school, and their efforts have been most successful. During the past depression years, approximately 50% of the graduating class had obtained positions before graduation and those remain- ing were aided later by the bureau, and despite the difficulties encountered, almost all were placed. This year, according to Dean Stockton, the demand far exceeds the supply. Letters are received daily asking for college men, trained in business. This is evidence of a realization of business that its future executive material must be recruited from among the college groups. Despite the fact that the K. U. School of Busi- ness does not have the advantages of business con- tacts formed by schools situated in large cities, the placement bureau and the faculty have established numerous connections which are utilized in placing the graduates. Although the most recent addition to the University, the business school is not without social and extra- curricular activities. Throughout the year several smokers are held to enable the faculty and students to become better acquainted, and to hear speakers of prominence in the business and professional world. A publication, The J-Hawk Business News, is issued annually. This small magazine contains infor- mation concerning future employment, current articles Epperson, Corey, Dean Stockton, Carlyle, Aiffeen on business, alumni news, and other interesting fea- tures. Each spring there is the annual School of Busi- ness Day; when both faculty and students take a vol- untary extra holiday. The traditional procedure con- sists of the election of officers, and an all-school con- vocation in the morning. The convocation is the Black Session where the students tell the faculty members their opinions of them and challenge the faculty to a baseball game which takes place in the afternoon. The activities of the day are climaxed by a banquet and program in the evening, at which time the election returns and baseball score are announced. The officers elected last spring, after a strenuous and close cam- paign, who will guide the school throughout this year are: Robert R. Corey President Harry E. Epperson .Vice-President King P. Aitken Secre ary Collins Carlyle Treasurer Among the organizations connected with the School of Business are two national professional fraternities, Delta Sigma Pi, and Alpha Kappa Psi, and the national honorary commerce fraternity, Beta Gamma Sigma. Membership in the latter is based on scholar- ship, and character, selections being made by the fac- ulty. Each year the Honor Student of the School is chosen, and this is one of the greatest distinctions which a student can receive. The recent trend in the teaching has been to bring all theory more in line with actual conditions found in the business world. Furthering this development has been the reorganization of the finance course, an increasing number of marketing courses, and the addi- tion of several courses in accounting. The more abstract courses in economic theory have been supplemented with such courses as the Economics of Imperfect Com- petition, which deals with the more realistic problems found in our economic structure. JAYHAWKER MEN ' S INTRAMURALS A record number participates in football; the basketball season is underway Ed Elbel Men ' s Intramural Director THE most impor- tant phase of intramurals to be reviewed at this time is that of touch foot- ball, which proved to be unusually interest- ing this season. Many of the teams showed plenty of power and smooth playing to win their games. To choose the teams which would play in the final elimination tournament, the groups which placed first and second in each division were taken. In the first division, the first three teams in the scoring column were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, and Alpha Tau Omega. In the second division, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, and Sigma Phi Epsilon finished in that order. Theta Tau was the winner in the third division, while three teams. Acacia, Kappa Eta Kappa, and Phi Chi, tied for second place. The Sig Alphs, first division champions, and the Theta Taus were the only teams to go through the schedule undefeated. The teams chosen to play in the finals were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Theta Tau, Acacia, Kappa Eta Kappa, and Phi Chi. In the first round of the play-offs, the Betas defeated the hitherto all-victorious Theta Tau ' s by a score of 19-0. The Phi Gams eked out a victory over the Kappa Eta Kappas by the narrow margin of one touchdown in a 6-0 game. The Acacias were swamped by the Phi Delts who ran up 38 points to their 0, and the Sig Alphs were too good for the Phi Chis and beat them by a 14-0 talley. Phi Delta Theta beat out the Phi Gams by a single touchdown when Trotter passed to North for the only counter of the game in the first tussle in the semi- finals. In the other semi-final match, the Sig Alphs proved to be no match for the Betas and came out on the short end of a 26-6 score. Nessly, Beta star, passed for three of the touchdowns and scored the other when he was on the receiving end of another pass. In the finals, Phi Delta Theta easily showed superi- ority by defeating the Betas by a 20-7 score. All the Phi Delt points were made on passes from Trotter to By JOE COCHRANE North in the first half. In the last half. Burr inter- cepted a pass from VanCIeave and raced to the only Beta touchdown. Men who had officiated at the games chose an all- star team, on which the champion Phi Delts placed six men. Two Betas, two Sig Alphs, and one Phi Gam were also placed. The team: North, Phi Delt, end; Stoland, Beta, end; McCoy, Phi Delt. tackle; Harp, Sig Alph, tackle; Cheatham, Phi Delt, guard; Bicket, Phi Gam, guard; Sifers, Phi Delt, center: Trotter, Phi Delt, quarterback; Stoltenberg, Sig Alph, halfback; Nessly, Beta, halfback; and Breidenthal, Phi Delt, fullback. These men received honorable mention: ends, Lemoine, Phi Gam and Baker, Sig Alph; tackles, Stockton, Beta and Steiger, Phi Gam; guards, Dodge, Beta and Bodley, Phi Delt; backfield, Paris, Beta; VanCIeave, Phi Delt; Morris, Phi Gam; Gough, A.T.O.; and Grist, Theta Tau. North, Phi Delt, added to his laurels by amassing the largest number of points scored with a total of 74, 25 more than his closest rival, Baker, Sig Alph. Harp, also a Sig Alph, was third with 46. The championship of the six-man division of touch football was won by the 4:30 Engineers. In class B football, the Betas and the Sigma Chis played their final game to a scoreless tie to share the championship. Six hundred ten men competed in touch football this year, which is an increase of 310 over last year. This was due largely to the addition of the six-man teams. George Larson, Theta Tau, scored a mild upset when he defeated Ed Heter to win the pyramid horse- shoe tournament. Heter, also a Theta Tau, won the championship last year. Bill Kiley, S.A.E., trounced Jack Nessly, Beta, in the finals of the pyramid tennis tournament to the tune of 6-0, 6-0. Stewart Chambers, Phi Delt, won the pyramid hand- ball tournament when he defeated Russ Benton, also a Phi Delt. In the finals of the team horseshoe match, the Galloping Ghosts won over a heavily favored Theta Tau group. Brown and Veedman of the Ghosts beat Heter and Larson 30-14 and 30-20. Coffin and Voss, also of the Ghosts, won over Benz and Cole by the same scores. West and Russel were the only Theta Taus to win, as they proved too much for Lindsay and Galloway and won 30-6 and 30-15. (Continued on Page 241) FEBRUARY WOMEN ' S INTRAMURALS The Kappas lead in the championship race for the jail season B Miss Ruth Hoover, Women ' s Intramural Director ASKETBALL, hockey, ping- pong, darts, tennis, handball, golf the sporting interests of the women athletes of the campus are many and varied. They are entering the intra- mural sports program with a whole-hearted enthusiasm, for it not only brings glory to their team, but pro- v i d e s a necessary recreation for some. The Kappa girls are still leading in the total number of points for the big cup. If they win it this year, it will be their cup for always, as it will be the third consecutive year they have captured it. There are sixteen organized houses and teams, so it is plain that out of the vast material that is drawn from this number of houses, competition is high. Corbin Hall is crowding the leaders, having only nine points less and Pi Beta Phi ranks third. For a general survey of the whole fall activities, basketball should draw the most attention. Alpha Delta Pi, Corbin Hall, and Pi Beta Phi were the winners of their respective divisions. In the three finals, Corbin Hall defeated the Alpha Delt ' s, and the final and determining victorious game has not been played. It will be one worth watching and the winners may well be congratulated. D. J. ViIIcuts, the most outstanding all-around athlete on the campus, ran off with honors again in the tennis singles, with Doris Stock-well the runner- up. This is one game that requires real personal skill, and one in which the outstanding players may be readily chosen. Horseshoes is one sport with which the modern college girl is not readily associated. There is an old general custom that places it with older men per- haps as a recreation after a family dinner. Neverthe- less it is one of the most popular of intramural sports here. Alpha Delta Pi came to the front this year, showing their ability to throw more ringers than anyone else. The different houses do not enter the shin-striking By FRANCES WARE game of hockey. It requires endurance and much coaching, and it would not be possible for each team to be trained in the short time that is devoted to the sport. So it is taught in regular classes, and physical education majors are usually the only ones who enter. At the end of the season, class teams are chosen and from these a varsity squad is picked. Each girl, how- ever, is given points for participation, just as in the other sports. The varsity team competes with other school teams, having won two games from Baker, and one from Vashburn this year. As an added attraction, they were taken to Wichita, to watch the VeIsh girl hockey team put on an exhibition. Pi Beta Phi won the volley ball championship by defeating Chi Omega in the finals. The selected sopho- more team won the honors in the class team tourna- ments. These class teams are always chosen at the close of each sport, and each team plays the other three. Marjorie Rowland, TNT, won the handball contest by defeating Ruth Elaine Worley, Alpha Delta Pi. Elizabeth Stephenson, Kappa Kappa Gamma, won the golf tournament. The ping-pong finals are yet to be played. The victor will be either Evelyn Little or Virginia Wallace. It should be said that Virginia Wallace has one of the best serves yet to be seen on the ping-pong table in this intramural sport. In December, W.A.A. held a banquet to award individual prizes that had been won during the year. All of the honors are awarded in accordance with the point system. Six hundred points are required for a letter, one thousand, three hundred and fifty points for a blazer. Ruth Baker, Ruth Elaine Worley. Rachel Kiene, and Dorothy Pulley received blazers. A loving cup which is awarded for two thousand points was given to Margaret Curd, Alma Bigelow, Ruth Modrell. D. J. Willcuts, and Maxyne Woody. So congratulations to Miss Hoover for her fine man- agement of this intramural program, and to the officers and sport managers for their cooperation, and to the women of the Hill, for making it possible to hold these events. The aim and ideal is aptly put in the poem adopted by W.A.A. in their foreword: Only one dream That not for self or individual place, But for the greater glory of the team. A single aim, That for a higher joy in a clean race. And closer fellowship in a harder game. Scenes from the tableaux THE CHRISTMAS VESPERS , Tifo performances enable all to attend the annual yuletiae program December 14, 1Q26 (CHRISTMAS VESPERS) The Christmas vesper is becoming more popular each year, according to Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, and it has been a con- stantly growing problem to care for the increasing audiences. Vith the new auditorium Dean Swarth- out said it is hoped to make these musical programs available to more students and townspeople, as well as to secure better facilities for the betterment of the programs themselves. December, 1935 YULETIDE VESPERS DRAW THOUSANDS TO CAMPUS SUNDAY Again, as in years past, a fast audience filled the University Auditorium Sunday afternoon 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 floors. University Daily Kansan. THIS Christmas season the administration did something about the tired backs and aching feet which late arrivals have endured for years at the annual Christmas Vespers. Dean Swarthout consented to arrange for two performances, one at four in the after- noon and the second at seven-thirty in the evening. Attendance at the two performances was increased by approximately two thousand five hundred, all finding seats. Into a setting of soft lights and a stage dimly blue came lighted tapers, held by a white-robed choir of inspired voices, swaying down the aisles of the audi- torium to O Come All Ye Faithful (Anon), the pro- By DORIS KENT cessional. Candle lighting of the several large candela- bra arranged at either side of the stage proper was done by Seba Eldridge, Jr., and Edwin Bodin. The choir took seats on the stage. Interest centered on four tableaux, presented from a specially lighted, raised stage, under the direction of Prof. Rosemary Ketcham, Prof. Raymond Eastwood, and Prof. Karl Mattern. Three of the tableaux depicted events connected with the birth of Christ, the fourth a Christmas-at-home scene showing a small family gath- ered around a glowing fireplace, stockings hung from the mantle, and the father reading the evening paper. Between tableaux the Vesper Choir sang four num- bers. Solo parts were taken by Mrs. Marie ViIkins, soprano; Prof. Joseph ViIkins, tenor, and Ted Val Sloan, fa ' 37, baritone. The University ensemble, VaIdemar Geltch, violin; Raymond Stuhl, cello; D. M. Swarthout, cello; Mer- vyn Anderson, harp; and Laurel Everette Anderson, organ; played a group of two numbers an d vocal selec- tions were rendered by Prof, and Mrs. Vilkins and Miss Alice Moncrieff. At the close of the program the choir, having relit the tapers, descended from the stage in rhythmical step with their voices, which were blended together in the singing of Hark the Herald Angels Sing (Mendel- ssohn). During the entire program Laurel Everette Anderson presided at the organ, and following the recessional, played Improvisation. A small choir sang Christmas hymns from the balcony as each of the tableaux was being presented. An enclosed broadcasting booth set up by KFKU broadcast the program. (Continued on Page 238) FEBRUARY THE SDPHDMDRE LEADERS . Although having little to do, the class officers must be outstanding E President Norman Hemphill IACH spring the sophomore class selects outstanding members to com- prise its board of of- ficers. Sad to say, they soon find that their duties and their functions are greatly limited. Nevertheless, those responsibilities with which these class officers are en- trusted are highly im- portant to the suc- cessful functioning of the class as a whole. For this reason it is necessary that the officers should be selected from men and women of laudable character and of exceptional ability. The sophomore class election is held in conjunction with the Men ' s Student Council and W.S.G.A. elec- tion in the spring of the year. In the P.S.G.L. party last spring the following men were nominated: presi- dent, Blaine Grimes; secretary, Cecil Wienstock; and dance managers were Allen Lemassa and Jack Scott. The nominees for the Pachacamac party and the successful candidates in the election were: Norman Hemphill, president: Chester Mize, secretary; Don Wood and Lester Kappleman, dance managers. The sophomore women are elected in a different way. The women ' s organization holds a mass meeting and nominate their candidates. Later they elect their favor- ites to the offices and disregard party politics. The feminine representatives for the sophomore class this By HARRY O ' RiLEY year are Elizabeth Hannah, vice-president and Doris Stockwell, treasurer. The sophomore year is probably the most critical in the college career of the average student. The restrictions of the freshmen year are released and new adjustments must be made. New opportunities, new duties, new problems and new ideas present them- selves. Organizations must be perfected with the thought of future obligations. Leaders must be devel- oped to carry on their work during the remaining years in college. It is important to have class officers because there is a real need for the class to have students to lead their group and represent them in various school affairs. The services performed by the representatives of the class are few. The class president is an ex- officio member of the Men ' s Student Council and serves as the formal leader of the class. Once each year the dance managers do their bit and give the University students the Sophomore Hop. This year a successful Hop featured Joe Venuti and his band, who had just completed an engagement at the French Casino in New York City. The vice-president and secretary are members of the W.S.G.A. council and aid in getting funds for the K Book. The representative group of the sophomore class will probably become campus leaders in their later years. At the present they are learning the potency of University politics and becoming better acquainted with the college environment. Standing at the mid- point of their college career, they look into the future with little concern as to the trials that are awaiting them. Chester Mize Elizabeth Hannah Doris Stockwell Don VVooJ Lester Kappleman A new season unveils itself with some ultra-successjul parties WITH a new semester and a new social season stretched out somewhere before us, and classes too new to create any serious problems of settling down to study, let s give the old Wheel a spin back- wards for a couple of months and see just what ' s been happening. After Christmas even most of the play boys and girls began hitting the ball in a sort of final splurge of effort in the hope of reviving those drooping grades. And who didn ' t hear Fletcher Henderson? VeIl, that was on the night of December 4. That was the night that 750 Hill couples staged a super Freshman Frolic at the Union - and, mind you, at $2 a throw. Normally one of the big parties of the year in the lives of campus dancers, the Frolic this year proved to be no exception in fact, it outdid itself. Henderson, composer of the catchy and durable Christopher Columbus, and one of the outstanding exponents of the latest modern music craze described by the much-overused expression swing, fully lived up to the reputation which preceded him, and fur- nished music which for quality and diversity has seldom been equalled on the Hill. Those who did stay away from the party for some reason or other missed the year ' s most successful dance, as they probably learned later from the comment of those who attended. At last it seems as though a class party really had something to offer. So after many moons of big time band talk we got big time. Of course, if you are like Bob Childs By THE SPOKESMAN of Sigma Chi rep, then big time doesn ' t mean much he only learned at the Frolic that Henderson directed a dark-colored band. Bill Midge Townsley from the Phi Delt lodge somewhat outdid himself this night, too. He showed up at 11:30 with Mary K. Dorman, a bad beer breath, and Bob Childs. The two short stuffs had been escort- ing her around to all the places during the evening, so the atmosphere for dancing was fine when they finally arrived. It is reported by both that dancing with Dorman was O.K. with the exception of being kneed in the stomach occasionally by the towering Mary K. To cap off the evening, Midge eliminated Dorman from a hula contest when she could not duplicate the stomach muscle twitch which Bill had so well under control, and thus he won another battle of beer. During intermission the 15 sophomore beauty aspir- ants made their debut in the Sour Owl beauty contest. Sour Owl ' s one-and-only Isabel Bash took a close decision over Kappa Glenda Speakman, with Mary Depew of Alpha Chi and Virginia Beverley of Chi O third and fourth, respectively. Four screws thrown into the audience by Bob Corey, Owl business manager, entitled the retrievers to be official judges. The following evening the Alpha Chis took over the Eldridge for a very pompous and very formal occasion. Dates and stags alike presented their bids before gaining entrance and a doorman applied the rubber stamp to the back of each and every hand there. (No. this wasn ' t the Beta party.) But such is the cus- tom among well-bred socialites. Venufi fiddles for Hop-goers The Alpha Delts or A.D.Pis, if you prefer, relieved the pressure on the Eldridge with a little private affair in their Colonial mansion up the Hill on 12th street. The Phi Gams and Theta Taus on this same eve- ning staged brawls with the rest of the Hill femininity at the Fiji house and the Union respectively. Wednesday, December 9, saw an upturn in the line of mid-week entertainment. Louie Kuhn presented this same Speak Speakman of the Sour Owl beauty con- test, who sang two songs Tain t Good and Pen- nies from Heaven. Perhaps ' tis a good thing for this same Bash of the Sour Owl beauty contest, that the queen had already been chosen. Socially speaking, some The Sig Alphs entertain af Christmas of the audience showed plenty of discourtesy in danc- ing during the numbers. Friday night was the Jayhawker-Granada Rose Bowl drawing and a lucky night for Maxyne Woody, Chi O, and Bill Howard. Both received free trips to the Rose Bowl game somewhere in California. Wish I could tell you of their experiences on the Santa Fe Trail nite coach, but Woody will not talk. The Phi Phis also had a party about this time. Tuesday night, December 15, was a gala night for free entertainment. The combined bands of Louie Kuhn and Red Blackburn, under the direction of Maestro Louie Forman, presented a diversified pro- gram of tracing music through the rag time, blues, corny, and thence to the modern or swing style of tunes. A jam session, the modern choir, directed by TAe Sigma Chis ' Christmas party opened with a dinner Ross Robertson and featuring Bill Bodley, Claude Dorsey, Marlin Wright, and Henry Miller as soloists, and the A. D. Pi tril filled in at intervals to make the evening complete. This swing session proved to be the best attended concert on the Hill this season and won wild acclaim. Immediately following this session, Patty Bishop pulled an unexpected bit of entertainment for many spectators at the Theta-Watkins Hall basketball game. It all happened when a substitute was rushed in for Patty and the green blouse which identified the players on the floor became stuck to the white blouse next to the skin. As it was in the process of being lifted over the head, gasps of astonishment and amazement (Continued on Page 241) Henderson deals out some real swing at the Frolic JAYHAWKER PROMINENT PROFESSORS LIBERALISM is a difficult word to define. In any political or social conflict both sides claim the sole right to its use. Students at the University are accustomed to coming into contact with liberalism of many brands and degrees in their associations with one another, more often in the classroom from professors. In considering liberalism, the great legal profession is ordinarily exempted automatically in the popular mind; but students of the law at the University claim they have a professor who truly is deserving of the name. He is ViIIiam John Brockelbank. He spoke on the subject of neutrality last year at a forum spon- sored by the Peace Action Committee. That should at least prevent his being immediately ousted from the left-wing ranks. What is liberalism? asked Professor Brockelbank. I certainly am not in favor of upsetting the apple- cart. He smiled his approval, however, of the efforts being made by labor recently in the automobile strikes to achieve a more liberal control of industry. Evidence of liberalism is clearly indicated when one observes the broadening influence of a varied and rounded education which Mr. Brockelbank has re- ceived. He received his A. B. in 1919 from Haverford College, Pennsylvania; and he was awarded his LL.B. from Harvard in 1923. Of particular value has been the time he has spent abroad, studying and practicing law in England and France. He was admitted to the Bar of England in 1928, and was a member of Lin- coln ' s Inn. He received the Docteur en Droit at Paris, 1934, and was a counselor at law, doing work with the International Corporation Company. He has taught at the University of Alabama, the University of Pitts- burgh, and came to Kansas in 1935. His specialty is the conflict of laws. He was assistant to the Amer- ican delegate on legal aid, League of Nations, in the Dr. A. M. Lee Prof. W. . Brockelbank summer of 1924. He has published articles in several law jour- nals. His latest con- crete claim to a for- mer achievement is a check for $100, re- ceived from the Uni- versity of Paris in payment for a lecture which he delivered before their law school two years ago. Mr. Brockelbank is a pacifist. But, he said, that doesn ' t mean much. Every- one is a pacifist now. The important thing is finding the means to prevent war. He favors strong neutrality legislation and is an isola- tionist as far as Europe is concerned. That may not sound very liberal, he said, but I have been in Europe long enough to realize that they just play a game that is away over our heads; they run circles around us when it comes to diplomacy. He heartily endorses the social legislation of the New Deal, but he thinks it is all unconstitutional. Why not bring all such legislation in through the front door instead of the back? he asked. If it is unconstitutional, let ' s amend the Constitution. The reader will recall readily that the press of the nation took a terrific beating during the last election. Asked what his reactions to this were, Mr. Lee, of the journalism department, immediately replied: Editors have to learn what leadership means. They should have learned by the results of the election that their duty is to lead, not to influence the public. Students in Mr. Lee ' s classes readily agree that his attitude of mind could scarcely be called conservative. Liber- alism is a scientific attitude of mind, said Mr. Lee. A liberal tries to look at all sides of a question and weigh the facts. A radical is as bad as the conservative because he is just as orthodox and biased at the opposite extreme. Mr. Alfred M. Lee received his A. B. from the University of Pittsburgh, and his M. A. from that same institution later. He has his Ph.D. from Yale, and did a year of post-graduate study there after receiving his doctor s degree. While an undergraduate, he was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary society for senior men, of Sigma Chi, social fraternity, and of FEBRUARY 1937 Three liberal-minded instructors appreciate the University ' s academic freedom Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. He is now chairman of the national research committee of that organization. Mr. Lee ' s work has by no means been confined to the academic. He started his active journalistic career on the Oakmont Sentinel, a weekly. He has worked on several other newspapers, having been assistant edi- tor of the New Haven Journal-Carrier and assistant publisher of the Brownsville Daily Telegraph, Browns- ville, Pennsylvania. He was for several years executive secretary of the federal traffic committee at Pittsburgh, which was awarded first prize by the National Executive Safety Council. His most active publicity work was in the capacity of campaign director of the Independent Republican Party of Connecticut. He has since said, however, A liberal political party is impossible. For that reason I belong to none. Apparently he was not imbued with any great amount of independent republicanism. The Macmillan Company will publish sometime this spring a book by Mr. Lee, THE DAILY NEWS- PAPER IN AMERICA: THE EVOLUTION OF A SOCIAL INSTRUMENT. He also has written a series of twenty-five articles on the newspaper, public relations methods, and traffic safety for several period- icals in the journalistic field. If the University should install a school of liberalism, there is little doubt as to who would be dean. The unanimous choice for that position unquestionably would be John Ise. If you have ever observed a virulent man introducing Norman Thomas, or talking against increased armaments at an American Legion banquet, or startling the Pittsburg Teachers College out of its lethargy, you might assure yourself that the man in question quite possibly is John Ise. Dr. Ise began his eventful career on a Kansas home- stead in 1885. He was one of twelve children. Mother always said it was a hard year when I was born, said Dr. Ise. He attended Downs High School, where he early developed a great interest in music. He entered the University, hoping to realize his desire to become a musician; he graduated from the Fine Arts School, majoring in voice. His musical ability extended to in- struments as well, however. He played in the orchestra and the band, and even now he can ably demon- strate his technique in tooting a unique instrument called the Chinese flute. He taught music a few years, then returned to the University and got his A. B. degree. Following this he received the LL. B. degree, was admitted to the bar, but decided he was not cut out to be a lawyer. He later received his M. A. and By ROBERT BURTIS Ph. D. degrees from Harvard. He has taught at the University since 1916. Dr. Ise has written books on the United States forest and oil policy. It is his hope that he will be able to complete several more books within his lifetime on the other natural resources. The story of his mother ' s life on the homestead, SOD AND STUBBLE, was pub- lished in November, 1935. He is editing the LET- TERS OF A KANSAS HOMESTEADER, which will be published in February. He is working on a textbook on the principles of economics and a book entitled CRAZY ECONOMICS, which is a satire. Dr. Ise probably has the distinction of being the most misquoted man on the faculty. Scarcely can he mention the word collectivism when the reporters see red. I don ' t mind being called radical, he said; but it makes me darned mad when I am made out to be crazy. Dr. Ise sees a definite surge of liberalism in the coun- try, as indicated by the recent national election. He also says we must of necessity go toward socialization, at whatever speed we deem safe, if we are to avoid the extremes of Fascism or Communism. There is no question, he said, ' but that life is everywhere submit- ting to some kind of organization or plan. The old indi- vidualism will no longer work, and some kind of collec- tive security has to take its place. But Lord, you have to be so much better today than I did in my generation if you are going to get anywhere. Dr. Ise is a true Kansas liberal. He likes the country, in spite of the damn drought, and the people. He is particularly fond of the University. ' It is a good place to teach, he exclaimed. ' I know of only a few insti- tutions which have more academic freedom than we do here at K. LJ. Dr. Jorin Ise JAYHAWKER It ' s Not Done With Mirrors That well - dressed appearance becomes a personal satisfaction with you the moment you step into a new Griffen or Hickey-Free- man spring suit. Our complete spring stock is now ready in the greatest variety of gab- erdines, worsteds, tweeds and what have you, that we ' ve ever shown. Don ' t miss our slacks and sport coats Headquarters for Spring MEN ' S CLOTHES By HIM Old Man Winter, having held sway around these parts in no uncertain manner for most of the time since we last apprized you of the goings-on among the Hill ' s Beau Brummels, about the only thing new in clothing has been the predominance of ear-muffs and three-buckle overshoes. However, we have been able to gain entrance to a few of the social functions and consequently will try to elaborate upon a few of the things seen there. Ve might mention at the out- set that the boys in Louie Kuhn ' s band have gone in for new clothes in sort of a mass fashion. It seems they ve recently decked the entire crew out in new suits of single- breasted oxford gray homespun material, with a slight pin stripe. This not only makes for uniformity which is pleasurable to see in an orchestra, but also shows the trend in styles for the less formal occa- sions. The suits are plain backed, with a small amount of drape, yet have sufficient variation in their pattern to remove them from the class of business clothes. Did you ever notice that Les Reed, down Sigma Chi way, always looks like the proverbial band box? It ' s something that not many can get away with no matter how hard they try, but Les does it well with a nice variety ward- robe specializing in browns. Bill Tyler an S. A. E. has one of the best looking Glen plaids to be seen. It s brown and single- breasted, with center vent and plenty of drape. The man who plays checkers at the Union building was kind enough to forget his allegiance to our budding journalist, and informed us that the Phi Delts really did predominate in tail coats at their recent Orchid Orgy. Of course, like the Kansan, we ' re mod- est in referring to our predictions that have materialized, but it can hardly be overlooked that this col- umn has consistently advocated as well as proclaimed the return of the tail coat for the more formal occasions. We ' ll not attempt to list the wearers of the tails, for you understand the difficulty involved because of the size of the group and then too there ' s the risk of over- looking fifteen or twenty that might have been late because of waiting for the last shift at the table. Any- way, orchids to the boys for wear- ing tails at an occasion which so obviously demands the more formal wear. Before going further, we should comment on the increase of the dickey front shirts this spring. Looks like a good bet, especially in the deeper tones. John Farley of the Betas has one with alternate cross stripings of white on medium dark blue, which, worn with white Kent collar and wine tie looks plenty smart with a dark blue double-breasted suit. Which all reminds us that Bob Kent, one of the Moody a partment boys, has one of those polychro- matic - striped gabardines which recently made their appearance. This is in a blue-green predominat- ing color, double-breasted, and plenty of drape. At the present time, due to the feverish competition existing, we hesitate to comment upon the race between Reitz and Carlson of Delta Chi; however in the next (Continued on Page 234 FEBRUARY Emery, Bird, Thayer ' s new favorite the little suit It steals the show with its disarming youthfulness, its im- pertinent pockets, and soft, casual air.

Lovely magenta velvet lines the tiny puff sleeves of this dress of princess line, and the ma- genta is carried out in the velvet buttons that emphasize the line of the back. One of the cutest tricks of the season, and, incidentally, on one of the cutest tricks, is worn by Bar- bara Goll, Chi Omega. Her dress is also blue, which has proved to be most popular, and is trimmed with a rich wine velvet ribbon. The skirt is very full and flowing while the neckline is gathered into many folds by the bands and bows of the ribbon. Lovely Dorothy Fritz. Theta, is rightly proud of her new spring formal (if it didn ' t burn in the annex fire) that is a print in scat- tered design of red, blue, and pur- ple on a white satin background.

TWO TICKETS TO CALIFORNIA (Continued In the course of the evening they witnessed a Vashington pep rally in which the chorines staged a mock football game. A trip to the Warner Brothers studios on Thurs- day proved fruitless inasmuch as the concern was more or less closed in anticipation of the following day. An invitation to return the following Monday could not be accepted by the pair since they were to be engrossed in the long homeward trek at that time. New Year ' s eve found them in Grauman ' s Chinese Theatre, where they gazed with rapture at its infin- ite wonders. The motion picture previews are held there, and that evening they saw After The Thin Man, starring Myrna Loy and ViIliarn Powell. It would be un- fair to say that they imbibed any- thing other than the beauties of the place even though it was the last night of the old year, for they retired at an early hour. Pasadena bloomed forth in all its beauty for them Friday morning when they drank in the glory of the Tournament of Roses. Over 1,500,000 people were fortunate enough to witness the magnificent spectacle which, according to Miss Voody, was too beautiful to de- scribe. The afternoon found them at the Rose Bowl game in which from Page 183) Pittsburgh, without even the cus- tomary preliminary warm-up, gave Washington a surprise shellacking to the tune of 21-0. Catalina Island claimed them Saturday morning, the gay novices making the journey via train and boat. A brief glimpse of the Casino and the training camp of the Chi- cago Cubs was had before they thrilled to a breath-taking ride in a glass-bottom boat. After this view of under-water beauty, they turned homeward once again. The following day found the t wo regretfully boarding a bus for home. This time they arrived, without mis- hap, in Wichita at noon Tuesday, January 5, weary but happy. This, in essence, is the story of two very personable young people who recently experienced what was probably one of the most memor- able episodes in their young lives. Due evidence of this was given by Miss XVoody ' s words when she said, We had a swell time, and I got a big kick out of the trip to the studio. Both are keenly appre- ciative of the widely heralded vir- tues of California, and would be loath to find fault with that fair state in even the most minute de- tails. Perhaps we should all adhere to and take stock in the old saying Go West, young man. ' FEBRUARY THE JAYHAWK ON THE HILL (Continued from Page 01) felt emblems. It naturally grew to mean K.U., just as it had always meant Kansas. But I do not think that ' s all of the explanation. It is partly because the symbols of the other schools are too natural to be striking. Bulldogs and bison and tigers are in city pounds or zoos: they can be seen there any time. The emblems, therefore, must either resemble them like a photograph or look ridiculous. Very few peo- ple, however, have ever seen a Jay- hawk, if such a bird can be said to exist. Hence unique and the symbol can be striking, and it can have a personality all its own. The Jayhawk is classic just as Mickey Mouse is classic. And the Jayhawk is about as much like a Jayhawk as Mickey is like a mouse. Whatever the explanation, the significance is there. There is no reason to be either scientific or sentimental about it. It ' s just that we re Jayhawkers. We go to school on The Hill. WOMEN ' S FASHIONS (Continued from Page 253) The dress buttons up the back to the hairline and is draped to a very low neckline in the front. To add the final dash, a black velvet sash is added. This about finishes my formal report until the spring season except for the little matter of decorations for the hair. This courageous ges- ture, that takes form in the shape of flowers, feathers, etc., etc., is great fun and most girls will go to any extent to obtain something dif- ferent. ' even to the dubious method of robbing the floral decorations of the dinner table as I once did. But not until I was unsmilingly told that the effect was that of a greenhouse aloft in my tresses did I realize that it is the best idea to have a candid opinion from a room- mate or close friend before braving the storm of critical opinion from the so-called sterner sex.

Though I run the danger of rushing the season, I want to report three of the fanciest spring duds I have seen. Bernice Burns, Kappa, has one of the very latest a black satin with a large floral design in bright color. Vith this dress of high neckline and long sleeves, she wears a double strand of pearls. Piquant Jane Blaney, Theta, has a tailored suit for spring that is the epitome of the season ' s trend. The two-piece suit is of dark brown wool, very severe and well-tailored. The hip length coat is of soft camel hair in light beige. The effect of the full swinging back of the coat is striking in contrast to the straight line of the suit. Helen Deer, also a Kappa, wears a black dress for spring that is trimmed with a crisp white bib that fastens with pearl buttons. The full skirt and full slack sleeves of this dress is indicative of the trend for the new season. By the time this is in print probably all of the coeds will have blossomed out in all their spring suits and prints, and so I promise to keep my eyes open for all of your fancy new clothes.

First, they cite that the students should be given the privilege of deciding for themselves how they should spend their hours. They point out that dancing is entertaining, health- ful, and socially beneficial; that tea-dancing would provide oppor- tunities for inexpensive dates in socially desirable recreation. In addition, they are altruists when they suggest the potential advantages which tea-dances have for business men and for dance musicians. The former, at a mini- mum of remodeling expense, would be able to attract tea-dance patron- age in the afternoons, a time in which, at best, business is only fair in the popular hang-outs. During this lull in the game, exponents of the tea-dances are polishing their arguments for a renewal of the fracas. They believe that there are three possible ways of winning the battle. The first of these is to convince the business men and the musicians that a Gen- 1 1 e m e n s Agreement sometimes becomes antiquated and in need of revision; further, to prove to the faculty that students, as individ- uals, should be free to make their own decisions on the question of time-spending. This accomplished, the tea-dances might then be restored to their former standing in the popular hang-outs. A second scheme vould be to promote the establishing of tea- dancing on Mount Oread under closer university sponsorship and control than formerly existed under the old set-up. The dances might be held in the Memorial Union, with faculty-approved chaperonage in charge, with a small admittance fee for expenses of an orchestra. The third proposed plan suggests the inauguration of a Mount Oread night club, patterned after the Uni- versity of Iowa experiment. This institution would not, however, sat- isfy the requests for a return of the tea-dances of yesteryear, but it would be a compromise settlement in the event that neither of the first two plans should succeed of adoption. Vith the controversy at its pres- ent standstill the tea-dance promo- ters have concluded that their best move would be to outline concrete suggestions for a re-establishment of the dances. And it appears now that Jayhawkers may expect a renewal of the fray which shows promise of bringing some changes in campus social life. THE HAWK FLIES HIGH (Continued fn Nebraska with a long run one year, set up a free-throwing mark against Washburn when he hit 18 out of 20 attempts. Arthur Dutch Lonberg, now cage coach at Northwestern was Allen ' s first captain in 1920. An- other Uhrlaub, Ernest took over the next year and he was followed by George Rody who set the Kansas high scoring mark of 15.28 points. Tus ' Ackerman; Frenchy Bel- gard; AI Peterson, leading scorer for two years, 1926-27; Frosty Cox; Rub Thompson; Tom Bishop; Ted O ' Learyj Lee Page; Bill Johnson; Jim Bausch; Paul Harrington; Francis Kappleman and Dick VeIIs are among those in the n Page 186) Kansas Hall of Fame in late years. Ray Ebling, the most consistent scorer ever developed at Kansas, led the Big Six scorers for three years and then passed from the picture along with Kappleman and fiery Mit Allen last year. These three men along with Fred Pralle and Ray Noble of this year ' s team went through an undefeated season and made a serious bid toward Olympic consideration in post-sea- son competition. But as one observer remarked, The Eblings and Nobles vill keep on coming and going, but Kansas basketball under Phog Allen or whoever succeeds him will go on forever .... to new heights we hope. FEBRUARY THIS ' N ' (Continued from the library forces decided to turn the reserve room into a tuberculosis fresh air school. Protests from the shivering students were of no avail, and merely caused the lady at the desk to revel in her authority. Finally, a deputation of students waited upon director Baker, who is probably the only employee in the library who is interested in serving the students. An order from his sanctums resulted in the closing of the windows, much to the confu- sion of the bureaucracy and the delight of the students. The Sour Owl had undergone administrative reorganization since the first part of the year. Business manager Corey resigned, stating that editor Hamlin had refused to stay within his budget, while the editor countered with the charge that Corey had not supplied him with seven hundred dollars per issue and that it wasn ' t his fault that the Owl was broke.

Intramural manager Ed Elbel has come in for some richly merited criticism in the past few days on the grounds that he in overdoing a good thing. VhiIe there can be no doubt that intramural athletics are a great force for spiritual uplift for the campus kiddies, Mr. Elbel seems to be laboring under the delusion that his department repre- sents all that the students are inter- ested in. Perhaps that s true, but in his meanderings, the Jaywalker has encountered a few queer indi- viduals who gave utterance to inco- herent mumblings about classes, papers, quizzes and other such trivial items. Fraternities, too. are getting thoroughly fed up with the idea by having half their chapters playing intramural tiddledywinks at meal or meeting time. The resentment is beginning to be expressed in ' Campus Opinions in the Kansan. Perhaps we will get a chance to see if the power of the press can be effectively applied to another phase of the athletic pro- gram as it was to the football situation. SLIDE-RULE SLAVERY (Continued fron Kansas Relays, and several hun- dred potential students visit various buildings housing the exposi- tion, making it an excellent advertisement for the University. On odd years, the students hold their spring Field Day and Ban- quet. The various departments organize athletic teams, with hotly- contested ball games, swimming meets, and tugs of war resulting. At dusk plaid trousers replace stained cords, and the engineers prepare for their annual banquet. Each of the branches sits at its special table, which is decorated with some identifying symbol. The faculty are there and join in the acute rivalry that exists between the student groups. Page 213) In addition to sponsoring the Hobnail Hop, the Engineering Exposition, and the Field Day and Banquet, the Council provides a mixer at the beginning of the year to acquaint freshmen with the rest of the school. The much-discussed matter of senior insignia is han- dled by the Council, and these odd-looking green sweatshirts that are seen across the tracks attest its influence. The Council also con- ducts an Engineering Book Exchange on a commission basis, saving the students money on the exchange of textbooks.

Rogers played well for the Jay- hawkers, scoring six field goals and a free throw to win high point honors for the evening. Close behind was Noble, his former Arkansas City high school team- mate, with a total of 11 points. The slam bang with Missouri was followed by an even rougher game with Kansas State. The ViIdcat team, which included two football players, Cleveland and Klimek, played a robust type of game involving much contact. Nevertheless, the Jayhawkers came through the clash in good shape and heartened their followers with their showing. It was not so much the score, 39-28, but rather the manner in which the victory was accomplished that sent the fans home glowing.

The last legislature was presented with a bill defining resi- dence. This would have saved the school a large sum of money if it had been passed, but on the last day it was defeated in the House for no apparent reason. The bill is being presented again this year, and will likely be passed. K. U. needs money for building. K. U. needs money to restore and preserve the prestige it has enjoyed in educational fields. K. U. needs money for maintenance purposes. During the depression all of these needs suffered without complaint from anyone, but now the time has come to look to the needs of the future as well as the present. Stu- dents helped in the past! FEBRUARY 241 THE SOCIAL WHEEL (ConlinueJ from Page 229) came from the crowd of 50 or so onlookers but you ' d be amazed too, no doubt. We ' d better get on. December 18, after all the classes were over and everyone else had gone home, the Phi Psis, Sig Alphs, Betas and Sigma Chis, who had divided all the available girls on the campus between them, imported a flock more and proceeded to throw dinner dances at various spots over town. Back from a nice rest just in time to start hitting the ball for finals, studes were met with the Sophomore Hop on January 8. This party, played by Joe Venuti and his 16-piece band, turned out to be a much nicer affair than had been expected. Originally, Bobby Meekers band was scheduled to play, but conflicting dates nipped the plan in the bud pronto. On this date, a nice little snow blast set in. January 9 the Sigma Kappas, the A.O. Pis and the Kappas staged parties. The Kappa party in the Union building was a record- breaker in every respect. The ball- room was decked out in winter splendor, and tails and full dress continued to be more-and-more in evidence. Oh yes, Speakman sang those two songs again. Friday night, January 15, the Chi O ' s cut loose and had a party. Everyone was invited and some of them came. The affair was a very nice one, but not quite so nice as the Sig Ep party the following night. This function was a Monte Carlo one with every girl getting a different patterned compact. The Acacias held their party on this night, too. Now we come up to final week and that is about all. The Sigma Chis held their annual freshman party at the Colonial Tea Room on Thursday evening the 28th. Ve understand that everything went off fine and the freshmen enter- tained the actives in a big way. Bill Miessner with his original compositions, which included two new popular songs, a new Kappa and a Theta song, and a new Sigma Chi marching song, proved himself to be one of the Hill ' s most talented musicians. Red Blackburn, a Sigma Chi himself, furnished his best music and everyone was reported as happy. The Gamma Phis entertained their dates at the Kansas City- Club in the city the following Sat- urday night, while Man,- Jane Haynes, the Pi Phi with journal- istic tendencies entertained one floor lower in the same club. A post-finals varsity on Feb- ruary 5 with Red Blackburn at the helm is the final bit of gossip that ye commentator has to offer. The weather was bad. but the crowd was lively and the music hot, so who cares? The Junior Prom is next, and as Dorothy Parker said some time ago, If all the coeds who attend, unquote, the Kansas Junior Prom, quote, were laid end to end, I wouldn ' t be at all surprised. MEN ' S INTRAMURALS (Continued fron The Phi Delts won their second team championship when they were victorious over the Rock Chalks in handball. Chambers and Van Cleave defeated Smurr and Kvater- nik and Benton was too good for Rapoport. The Rock Chalk doubles team of Hodson and Sebal beat Page 224) Trotter and Brown for their only victory. At this time, basketball is well underway and there are few unde- feated teams left. Rivalry is keen in all divisions and any one of several teams may prove to be the winner.

VOLUME XLIX APRIL, 1937 NUMBER 4 Published periodically by lit student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the Jayhawher Advisory Board. A record of events and personalities, and a review of campus trends and opinions. JAMES H. COLEMAN Editor in Chief JACK TOWNSEND Business Manager It is finally beginning to look as though Spring will decide to visit Mount Oread, and with it an activ- ity which in most sections is syn- onymous with the season, but which in these parts has been unknown. The click of the hard- wood on the horsehide has been heard on the athletic field when- ever the weather man has allowed it of late, and it finally begins to appear that the University will have a baseball team. Kansas baseball teams used to be a power to be feared throughout the Missouri Valley, and it was indeed a gloomy day when the authorities ruled out the pastime as unprofitable and unnecessary. But when the Committee of Three, the short-lived athletic committee, took over the reins, one of their first acts was to authorize the sport anew. Their action is indeed commendable. It has always appeared to us that far too much stress has been laid on major sports and intramural at the University. Efficient coaches for the minor sports, swimming, wrestling, boxing, golf and tennis, have been unknown here, because of a shortage of satisfactory material with which to work, and vice versa. And the magnificent intramural program has done a great deal to discourage participation in other sports, besides taking up too much of the most valuable time of the day and night. If a man must be at all successful in intramural athletics he must practically live them, and at times when much else could be accomplished. Ye hope that the reinstatement of baseball as a sport here is an indication of the fact that the ruling powers are taking cognizance of the need for a better minor sports pro- gram. We can have our wrestling matches on the bedroom floor and have just as much fun and exercise, while any group of boys can have an informal basketball game in the gymnasium at any time. The intra- murals undoubtedly do perform a valuable service to the less pro- ficient athletes, but in our opinion they are vastly overemphasized. Vastly. Rarely is anybody present at the contests besides the players and a few substitutes, and they largely on compulsion. And the contests, most of them, are rarely worth seeing anyway. It is our sincere hope that when, and if, an athletic director is chosen to handle affairs here, he will con- tinue the good work begun by the Committee of Three. And he must have the fullest of cooperation from the students, both participants and spectators, if a more valuable sports program is to be installed. Rumors have come to our ears to the effect that University fees are to be increased next year in apply- ing to out-of-state students. Such action would appear to be very unprofitable and impracticable if followed through. Kansas Univer- sity draws students from all parts of the United States, simply, in most cases, because expenses are so low. Many students come from New ork or California simply because they can obtain their education more cheaply, even though their travel expenses are much higher. And if their tuition were increased it is clear to see that they would go right back where they came from. They will tell you so. And the athletes! Traditionally, in some cases, more poorly supplied with money than those who come here purely for an education, they vould certainly attend elsewhere if costs were raised. Low fees are our nearest approach and only substitu- tion for subsidizing. and we shouldn ' t lose sight of that fact. Ve have a hard enough time attracting good athletes as it is. We ' ll donate our larynx at full strength in crying out against such suicide. Perhaps others will join in. THE JAYHAWKER m m 14 THE FIFTEENTH RELAYS , , This year ' s carnival will draw another galaxy of track stars By J. HUBERT ANDERSON THE Little Olympics of the Middlewest, more familiarly known as the Kansas Relays, will hold its fifteenth annual track and field meet on April 17, 1937, at the University of Kansas. No pretender to the king s throne in national collegiate track competition, the Jayhawker athletic carnival has long been the proving ground for outstanding performers. Famous among the hundreds who have worn spikes in Memorial Stadium are Glenn Cunningham, Jim Bausch, Glenn Morris. Clyde Coffman, Eddie Tolan, Gene Yenzke, George Saling. Sam Allen, Archie San Romani, Glenn Dawson. EKvyn Dees, ViIson Buster Charles, and Jay Berwanger. Each of these men has been a headliner in the sports world. It was in the 1932 Olympic Games, held in Los Angeles, that Jim Bausch, Clyde Coffman, and Buster Charles finished in the money in the decathlon competition. All had been coached by Brutus Hamilton, then University of Kansas track mentor. Another decathlon winner. Glenn Morris of the Denver Athletic Club, first tried the ten-event grind at the Kansas Relays in April, 1936. Vinning this meet, he forged ahead, and several months later was crowned world champion at the Berlin Olympics. Thus, in two successive Olympic Games in 1932 at Los Angeles and in 1936 at Berlin decathlon winners at the Kansas Relays became Olympic decathlon winners when Bausch and Morris were awarded the first-place laurels. Also figuring in Olympic circles, both in 1932 and in 1936. Glenn Cunningham came to the high school division of the Relays in 1930. won the mile race for Elkhart. And Glenn, long since a headliner, continues to run at the Relays. And the list is endless. Nor are the referees of the Relays any less famous, with such men as Knute Rockne, Fielding H. Yost, Tom Jones, Nelson Metcalf, Alonzo Stagg, Ossie Solem. George Bresnahan, and Clyde Littlefield on the roster. All honor, then, to Dr. John Outland. father of the Kansas Relays. He it was who graduated from Jayhawker college halls to attend the L T niversity of Pennsylvania medical school, there to receive a vision from the long-standing Penii Relays. Back to the middlewest with an idea for a Kansas Relays, he imparted his suggestion to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of Kansas athletics. Phog Allen, forward-looking, promoted this idea, gave it organization, and to him goes credit for being the founder of the Relays. No small task this, for Dr. Allen set a ball rolling which has gathered tremendous momentum in fifteen years under his efficient guidance. And while other sports attractions were succumbing throughout the nation, the Kansas Relays scored a victory over depression. Here again, credit goes to Dr. Allen for his foresight in promoting JAYHAWKER PAST RELAYS have furnished some colorful scenes, some thrilling contests and some outstanding participants. Top, Crooms, Emporia, edges out Hall, Kansas, in the 1935 100-yard dash, next is the 1936 Relays Queen, Isabel Perry, with her attendants and the day ' s guest, then appears Glenn Morris, decathlon champion. Bottom row shows Lyons, Iowa State vaulter, going over the bar, then Allen, Oklahoma Baptist, wins the 120-yard high hurdles. the Kansas Relays Club in Lawrence, pledged to do everything possible to insure the holding of the Kansas Relays each year at the University of Kansas. To do everything possible meant to underwrite the financial success of the Relays, for although the event is now selling itself, it still is not a paying proposition. If not a money-maker, the Relays is no less success- ful, ranking along with similar sports carnivals held at the University of Texas, Drake University, and the University of Pennsylvania the leading spring attractions in the collegiate track world. And nearly a thousand university athletes make the annual April trek to Lawrence. These men, although largely the representatives of midwestern schools, wear the colors of colleges from coast to coast. Down Kansas ' cinder lanes, across hurdles, and over jumping pits, they have set records which compare favorably with world marks in these events. Aside from relay contests, some of the outstanding individual performances have been recorded in the following events: 100-yard dash: Leland, Texas Christian, 1930, :9 4 10. 120-yard high hurdles: Allen, Oklahoma Baptist, 1935, :14 5 10. Running broad jump: Gordon, Iowa, 1931, 25 feet, 4% inches. Running high jump: Shaw, Visconsin, 1930, 6 feet, 6 3 16 inches. Javelin throw: Kuck, K. S. T. C., Emporia, 1926, 206 feet, 6! 4 inches. Discus throw: Petty, Rice Institute, 1935, 154 feet. Pole vault: Warne, Northwestern, 1930, 13 feet, 9% inches. Shot put: Dees, Kansas, 1935, 51 feet, 3% inches. 1500 meter run: Cunningham, Kansas, 1933, 3:53 3 10. Mile run: Cunningham, Kansas, 1934, 4:12 7 10. That the Relays officials are constantly striving to give sports fans an entertaining program is evidenced by their unceasing efforts to bring star performers of the first order to the meet. As it has become elsewhere, so here the mile run for the past several years has been a feature race of the program. This year an attempt is being made to bring together the world ' s leading milers Glenn Cunningham, Archie San Romani, Luigi Beccali, Gene Venzke, and Don Lash for a midwestern classic race. Already the referee of 1937 has been secured. He is none other than Henry F. (Indian) Schulte, veteran track coach of the Big Six title-winning Nebraska Cornhuskers. Bringing with him his many years of experience and notable work in sports, he will be a ( Continued on Page 318) RELAYS ARE GREAT STUFF A description of the annual track classic as Stoopnagle would have it (Author ' s note: This story is a reproduction and condensation of notes which Ed Elbel uses for advertising lectures for the Kansas Relays. On the whole they are reproduced faithfully tut certain items have been deleted and an attempt at continuity has been made.) THERE are 3,498 universities and colleges in the country and in some cities. People who attend these institutions can be placed in five groups: men, women, radicals, athletes, and Y.W.C.A. members. Radicals are accused of raising hell, and athletes raise stadia and money, in some cases. Athletes may be subdivided into two classes: good and bad. They can generally be differentiated from people because they run. When they run with a ball, they are playing football, and with a pole, they are pole vaulting. When they run without anything but clothes they are just running. Vhen they are just running they are in the gym, late to class, or at the Kansas Relays. The Kansas Relays are things which if you don t have your entry in on time for you will be late too. They do things at the Kansas Relays, and much stuff of strange things happens. There was the race in which Jack Richardson was shot in the leg by the starter-off. By STANLEY MARIETTA Illustrated by CAROL JOHNSON Hargiss was caught with his pantaloons at knee height so in desperation he put in Dees. Foy was the first to reach the finish line. But instead of the usual string he found a stout rope which the assistants had when string they were out of. He went back and made a running start at the rope but still he could not break said. The other men came to the finish but were not successful wherefore Dees plodded to the line and with a final last effort broke the tape to win. People throw things when they are married, mad, play ball, (base or basket) and in field meets. Men and athletes throw things which do not rhyme with music, one being a discus. Creeks used to throw discus and bull. They were good at both. You grab the discus or the bull in your hands and swing it. Around your head and let go. You can hit anything but try not to because it hurts. AI Wellhausen is like the Creeks. He slings the discus, too. At the Kansas Relays he was (Continued on Page 320) As things might hai ' e happened I didn ' t know it was loaded! 11 THIS THAT JAYHAWKER It ' s open season AS THE Jaywalker again takes up his pen to make his belated contribution to the Hawker, on every side he sees manifestations of returning Spring. The last installment was written in the dreary environment of finals and a snow storm, but now with midsemesters gone and past, nature assumes a different aspect and Easter looms close on the horizon. And so, with your leave, the Jaywalker will briefly touch on a few of the student activities which herald the approach of Spring. As invariable a symptom of the new season as the northward flight of the migratory birds is the first round of steak fries. The steak fry season was opened this year insofar as can be accurately determined by Messrs. Swinehart and MacFarland and their lady loves Laughlin and Little. Although the girls reported the evening (and the ground) to be a little chilly, the boys were more than enthusiastic. And all this over the vociferous protest of Bob Childs, that veteran steak- fryer of the old school, who had counted so strongly on officially opening the 1Q37 season. Another invariable symptom of Spring is the begin- ning of the annual political furore. The first move in the 1937 game came from P.S.G.L. which took the noble step, early in March, of allowing Pachacamac to fill all the Council vacancies. The action was taken in a carefully worded statement which the P.S.G.L. leaders took especial pains to get published. To the uninitiated it smacks of the truest form of altruism in student government, while to those in the know it, to use common parlance, veritably stinks. Pachacamac ' s leaders fell for the bait, hook, line, and sinker; and may have trouble swallowing it later when it appears in P.S.G.L. campaign literature. Meanwhile the Council flounders about in a morass of legislation By THE JAYWALKER concerning cooperative book stores, student labor unions, and other similar tripe. The athletic situation again rears its ugly head, with the faculty committee of three to whom the regents passed the athletic buck, taking a run-out powder. The regents have not been able, to date, to hire a new athletic manager to replace the late Phog Allen despite the Kansan ' s screaming headlines to the effect that Dutch Lonborg had been employed as director. Rumor has it that there is a difference of opinion in the regent ' s committee as to whether the spirit of Allen should continue to haunt the athletic department, one faction contending that the ghost must be laid once and for all. The campus seems in danger of being burdened with a new organization for agitation with the creation of a campus United Front. The participating groups left off from remaking the social and economic structure for long enough to squabble among themselves for a few weeks over the constitution for the new group, which might well be termed the Associated Agitators of the University. If the United Front can succeed in reconciling its components, the collegiate part of our campus population can prepare to batter down the hatches and hold tight for a greater blast of hot air than we ' ve experienced since the last issue of the Dove. The season of winter formals was closed with the Prom and XVomen ' s Pan-Hel. Both were outstanding successes, particularly the Prom, which raises the ques- tion as to why one of our younger economics profs and a certain prominent Kappa chose to lock themselves in the Pine Room in the dark when there was such music downstairs. The spring season was officially ushered in by the Men s Pan-Hel party, April 2, which for the first time in written history was a spring f i tormal. The Dramatics Club play, ' This Thing Called Love, was generally considered to be a howling success with Unity on the front honors going to that charming and talented student actress, Beth ' Ruth Smith. And the Jaywalker regret- fully admits that he greatly enjoyed the Junior- Senior Oratorical contest. Regretfully, because he holds a deep-seated conviction that oratory in general is a pernicious form of expression and an emotionalized and vociferous type of intellectual paralysis. But we have to hand it to that Maloney boy, he ' s a master at it. Great future for him as a Fuller Brush Man. A month ago a committee of students headed by Eddie Rice was selected to appear before the Ways and Means committee of the legislature to explain the needs of the University. The reports on appropriations indicate, however, that they made little impression. The solons evidently assume that inasmuch as the state can stand a dollar-a-day legislature, it can put up a few more years with a dollar-a-day University. And so the University will continue to operate on a s ubsistence budget while the political officers get raises in salary. The student lobbyists created a campus interest in legislative affairs, and a considerable number of stu- dents went to Topeka to watch the antics of the solons. AH returned, not critical as might be expected, but thanking Providence that we get along as well as we do. The students of the department of journalism repeated their jamboree of last year, but the current affair was dignified by the appellation of dinner dance. The celebration took place at the Elk ' s hall, and the entertainment and refreshments were of about the same order as last year. The event was moved up a few weeks in anticipation of the legislative enthusiasm for drying up Kansas. Illustrated ov CARL JOHNSON The staff departs After a period of deliberation on the spiritual state of the herd the Y.M. and the Y.W. made a belated, but heroic, effort to justify their existence by sponsor- ing what they dubbed a Re-interpretation of Religion Week, modelled along the lines of National Clean-up Week and National Fire Prevention Week. The organ- ized houses, which are customarily selected to be the goats in such enterprises, bore the brunt of the barrage of spiritual uplift, each one receiving unto itself a speaker on the subject. In some of the houses the eve- ning proved very successful, but these were the ones where the members and speaker reached an under- standing and didn ' t confine themselves too closely to the subject prescribed. The brethren of the Owl Society, junior men s organ- ization, alleged to be an honor group, after due solemn deliberation decided to make their contribution to a freer and fuller life by sponsoring the Co-ed Hop.

In closing any professional production the curtain is raised and lowered dozens of times until the players have backache from bowing, the curtain raiser becomes musclebound and the audience has a grand time pounding its hands to bruis ed hamburger. Perhaps RoIIa Nuckles feared for the safety of his cast, but at this point we must remind him that although Kansas audiences invariably attend plays with cabbage and onions on their breath, they seldom stoop to throwing such vegetables. The cast of This Thing Called Love should have gotten more curtain calls, for it is a rare thing when a midwestern audience stops sitting on its hands and enjoys itself, for the choice of this sophisticated comedy was indeed a happy one. This Thing Called Love was a light comedy involving a series of triangles, a goodly number of clever lines, a few stale gags (that still got laughs, God bless em), and enough semi-risque situations to make it fast moving and interesting. It undoubtedly was made of the stuff that audiences eat raw. It concerned the love life of one Ann Marvin, whose much-married sister and brother-in-law through their heated marital bickering made of her a man-hater and destined her to a cheerful existence of peaceful spinster- hood. The redoubtable Ann, having a few theories on the care and feeding of the husband, meets Tice Col- lins, a naive engineer fresh from the mines of Peru, with loads of money in one hand and an offer of marriage in the other. After no little discussion and a divorce for her relatives, Ann decides that she will marry the enticing Tice (sorry) on a pay-as-you-go basis. In other words, she was to become a wife in name only with a salary to boot. The newlyweds evolved a neat system of parimutual dating that, of course, led to many interesting complications. Of course, Ann falls in love with her husband and vice versa and everything comes out all right, as every American audience insists that things simply must do. On the whole. Author Edwin Burke had a lot of fun proving that the course of true love is actually as rough as Indiana street in front of the Theta house and that everything is not always peaches even with Peru and pecuniousness as a background. Vhen we told Bob Gard that we were doing a piece on the current play for the Jayhawker and subsequently (Continued on Page 322) Fortunate indeed were we to catch nearly all the members of the cast of This Thing Called Love on the stage at one time. Left to right they are: Sam Kimble, James Bradfield (Dumary, the butler), F,sther Hollecker, Betty Ruth Smith, Larry Wig ifmem, Lucille Gaynor (Lucille, the maid), Lucille Vagner (Dolly Garrett), and Joe Myers (Bill Garrett). Mary Frances Martin (Miss Alvarez) and Fred Littooy ( the other man ) evidently had found attractions elsewhere, in view of the fact that their respective presences were decidedly unwanted in the Collins ' household.

Perhaps so, but politics doesn ' t have much of an edge on sports in that respect, for who were crowned co-champions of the Big Six in basketball this year but Kansas and Nebraska. The only thing that these two schools have in common is former Kansas high school athletes. The Jayhawkers breezed merrily through the first half of the conference schedule, marking up five victories without a loss, but coming down the home stretch they tripped twice to end their conference play with a record of eight victories and two defeats. The Cornhuskers reversed this procedure, dropping two of their first five games and then sweeping the final five. Kansas and Nebraska split the two games they played, with Kansas incurring its other loss at the hands of Kansas State and Nebraska bowing to Oklahoma. Four Jayhawkers figured prominently in the all-Big Six teams picked at the end of the season. Fred Pralle. high-scoring guard, was a unanimous choice for all- conference honors. Ray Noble, guard; Paul Rogers, for- ward: and AI VeIIhausen, skyscraping center; were placed on either the first or second teams by nearly all selectors. Many felt that Ray Noble was not given sufficient recognition by the all-star pickers. Practically every selector placed him on the second team rather than the first, although the opinion was frequently heard that Noble was the best all-around player in the confer- ence. Noble was an outstanding rebound man, floor player, defensive guard and a wonderful team player, but the fact that he was a feeder, more than a scorer, seemed to dim his brilliance in the eyes of the all-star pickers. Pralle led the Jayhawkers in scoring and his all- conference rating was a foregone conclusion, since he By HORACE MASON had attained that ranking in 1936 as a sophomore. Pralle and Noble stood out as the most polished players on the team. Rogers and VeIIhausen far surpassed any pre-season expectations of them and contributed materially to the success of the team. Rogers put a scoring punch into the front line, to an extent that he was second high scorer on the team in conference play. Wellhausen, improving in every game, was playing an outstanding brand of ball when the season came to an end, finishing his college career. The six- foot, 7-inch giant gave Kansas control of the tip and saved many points by his work as goal guard, ' when the opposition had the ball. Roy HoIIiday, diminutive scrapper, and Sylvester Schmidt, alternated at the other forward post and filled the position adequately if not brilliantly. HoIIi- day provided fire and spirit when it was needed, and Schmidt flashed a fine brand of floor play along with a good eye for the basket. Pralle led the team in scoring both in conference and non-conference games. In the ten Big Six frays he scored 96 points, Rogers 89 points, Noble 52 points, VeIIhausen 52 points, Schmidt 33 points and HoIIiday 21 points. The number of non-conference games par- ticipated in by the players varied, but the average number of points per game was as follows: Pralle 8.4, Noble 6.2, HoIIiday 4.1. Golay 4.1, Rogers 3.6, Durand 3.4, Schmidt 2.6, Wellhausen 2.1 and Corlis 1.4. In the midst of the first semester final exams, Kansas played Vashburn in a game at Topeka. Neither quintet showed much in the first half, which ended with the Jayhawks leading by five points, but in the second half, Kansas hit its stride and pulled away A square dance as half-time entertainment Dave Lutton to win 42-27. Pralle led the scorers with 13 points, closely followed by Noble with 11. To keep the players in shape during the between- semesters vacation, a special game with Rockhurst college was arranged. It was played in the Auditorium as part of a double-header, the other game being between Lawrence and Coffeyville high schools. The Hawks from Kansas City put up even more of a battle than had been hoped for and were ahead most of the first ten minutes. However the Jayhawkers flashed a brilliant offensive in the second half to overwhelm the visitors, the final score being 35-19. Four days later, Kansas tangled with the potent Comhuskers and emerged victorious, 27-22. In the first half the Jayhawkers were colder than the weather outside. They couldn ' t get the ball in the basket by any manner or means. Fortunately this situation abated in the second half and Kansas forged ahead to win a real thriller. Pralle and Sorenson of Xebraska tied for high-scoring honors with nine points apiece. The first round of conference play was completed Friday, February 5, when the men of Dr. Forrest C. Allen downed Iowa State 36-26 at Ames. Kansas piled up a huge lead in the first half, but lost most of it in the second half when the reserves replaced the first string. The regulars were put back into the game when the Cyclones began to pull up close and the game ended with the Jayhawkers the winners by 10 points. The following week, the Jayhawkers traveled to Manhattan, riding for a fall. And they got it.

Every crime in the lexicon of human- kind has been perpetrated for them. WWs have been precipitated and men have gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust because a woman s love could brook no restraint. From the titian-tressed Helen who rocked the topless towers of Ilium, to Aimee Semple McPherson who so skillfully hoodwinked the American populace has led one long trail of subterfuge and tergiversation. Always it is destructive, deceitful, damnable, beautiful, noble, talented woman. I am sitting here tonight lazily struggling against my stubborn Dunhill watching its smoke rings drift into the air and in each little gray puff I can see the face of a woman I have known. In spite of the ponderous volumes dedicated to them by non- descript bards, I am tempted to add my name to the omniscient authors who have tried so pathetically to give the world their philosophy of the homo sapiens. I can- The home girl not declare like Kipling that I have learned about women from her, for nothing has been absorbed in my association with them. Instead, I have become as hard as Methuse- lah ' s artery and so cold that the north pole would seem like a Bessemer steel converter. Yet my varied experiences may serve as guideposts to those moronic masculine novices who know of woman only as a thing to cherish and adore. Unlike Tolstoy I will not delay my dissertation until the embalmer is at the gate. The first woman in my category is naive, humble, plain, trusting Mary. She comes to me distinctly in a perfect little smoke halo. Sweet and faithful is this rustic maiden; yet how far to seek before she can be found. The nearest approach to the ideal, but alas, to me, she has her disadvantages. When I used to tell her egregious tales of my numerous meanderings, she would look at me that gullible glance of hers The Phi Beta Kappa as ' s e were believing the whole of them. Then I would think: poor credulous girl, how often will you be fooled by the palaver and equivocations of your knight errants. She lacks charm and she is too plain. It is good to visit her in the family domicile; but if you take her out she is apt to wear a little brown toque and plain tailored clothes; and when you are forced to compare her with other women you are bound to gaze all evening at them. Yes, she is too simple and domestic, and you long for a soul-mate. Vhat an eligible wife for some doubting Thomas who wants a home to be something more than just a place to go when there is no other. I can see her in her after-life an expert in the culinary art, splendid housewife, rearing children, paying the milkman in pennies. She stands as our symbol of womanhood, and it is she who plays heroine in our movies and the bucolic maid in our pastoral poetry. WWdsworth must have had her in mind when he said: A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warn, to comfort, and command. raw4. I ' ' 9 0 he debutante Secondly, meet Martha, the Phi Beta Kappa, reformer, moralist who sells road maps to girls who walk back home. She burns out on Sunday school teaching, becomes an anti everything, and finally ends in rank atheism. She is one who lectures loudly in the women s federations about liquor and our dissolving ethics proclaiming that she would rather go to a dance than smoke a cigarette; and the answer in the hearts of that bevy is, Vho wouldn ' t? As her unmarcelled locks begin to gray, and dear altruistic animadverting Martha finds that she has missed her chance, she begins to scathe the men bitterly. Later we find her telling dutiful mothers how to rear children. The girl who deserves anybody ' s pity is the poor working girl: the wane, plastic, fickle gumchewer. Senseless, untutored, she is fighting an uphill battle (Continued on Page 324) h JUST PICTURES Typical indeed are these pictures garnered from every corner of the campus, both as to subject and situation. The plaid skirt at the upper left helps conceal Marianne Bantleon, prize pest around the Jayhawker office, who walks with Phi Phis Griffith and Darby. A typical scene in front of the Chemistry building is just above us, with one from Green Hall at the left. Next row shows, left to right. Pi Phis Coates and Kiene with somebody ' s back, Sig Chi Richardson in some fast action with a couple of Kappas, and some band boys cutting up. Bottom row begins with a typical March scene, followed by Beta Kelso, his fiancee. Mary Depew, with Jodie Bell the third party. Then comes Sig Chi Hugh T. Jones entertaining Kappas Patterson and ' oodbury. SIGNS Guess spring was only fooling when we got these, for we had two snow storms shortly after, but it did look at the time as though it had arrived. The comely lady, upper left is taking a mean swing at the approaching base- ball, next to congenial couple Fitz- Gerald and WiKifs. Then a hefty trackster heaves the shot in practice. East Ad is indeed a crowded loafing spot on these nice days, and the sun feels good to this group. You see three very springy shots at the bottom. Souders must have gotten a fresh shine, for he and Meek are gazing intently in that direction. Looks like nice weather, doesn ' t it? The tennis player surely must have missed the ball, it was such a fierce swing. It must indeed have been warm that day, for this prof, carries his coat. He must have expected rain. SPRING Although it looks a great deal like Larruping Lou Gehrig taking a mean swing at the approaching hall above, it is in reality Lloyd Funny Man Rourke. The occasion is rehearsal for the newly -organized baseball team, lop right we get what seems to be a difference of opinion as to the quality of the weather for that day. The two gentlemen at the left seem to be of the opinion that it really is spring, while the two at the right disagree. It is quite possible, however, that it snowed within the hour. If this next shot doesn ' t represent spring in bloom, none of these does. Nothing is more familiar than to see at this time of year a strolling professor, or possibly a student or two contemplatingly staring at a book. The two students immediately below have book, too, but it is easy to see that their interests are elsewhere. In the l ower left position we present one of our prize photos. If it hadn ' t been taken by Bob Russell, staff photographer, we would likely have chosen it as winner of the photography contest. .Vote the pensive lower lip in the next picture, entitled Baseball Thrower. The ball ought to go pretty far. Ve think Hill Thurman should get a great deal of credit for his work in appearing in the final picture on this page. To rate two beauteous Kappas and a supercharged Aufcum in one breath is indeed a feat, but Hill evidently had lots of breath. WINN] R Herewith we present the prize-winning pic- ture in this month ' s photography contest.

AND OTHERS Remember the Junior Prom? really was spring- like that evening and the boys perspired in tuxes, while a few weeks later they showed up for the Men s Pan-Hel party freezing in spring formal ircar. That foliage certainly looks nice, doesn ' t it? But we won ' t try to fool you, the picture was taken last spring and won honorable mention in the AYHAWKER photography contest. It was submitted by Russell Kelly.

A true artist in every sense of the word, Betty Ruth Smith has succeeded in climbing to the top in every field she has entered. In the fine arts her accomplishments are sixfold: organist, pianist, com- poser, painter, designer, dancer. In dramaturgy this versatile woman is not only a brilliant actress but also a playwright of merit. Her diplomacy has risen her to the heights of women ' s politics. And her beauty - well, the picture on the following page only begins to tell the story of why she has so often been elected as Queen. Illustrated ly AL MUZENICK Betty Ruth first graced Wichita with her presence on May 25, 1915. She graduated from Wichita East high school, took a year at Wichita University, and then to K.U. On corning here three years ago, she was rushed off her feet at first by the women and immediately afterwards by the men and the latter are still in pursuit. After the Thetas had succeeded in winning Betty Ruth she began to rush into an active life that few Jayhawker women have known. It might be well, however, to list her achievements. During her sophomore years she was featured in the V. S. G. A. musical comedy doing a specialty dance. The two hit tunes of the show were also composed by Betty Ruth. In that year she also became a member of Tau Sigma dancing sorority. In her junior year she had the lead in the dramatic production, Olympia, joined the Kansas Players, became vice-president of the Dra- matic Club, secretary of the Mortar Board, secretary of XVomen ' s Pan-Hellenic Council, and was chosen as Queen of the Intramural Frolic. Her activities con- tinued this year being elected XVomen ' s Pan-Hellenic president, taking leading parts in This Thing Called Love, and Four Days Leave. Though the football men of this institution may not have done so well in carrying the pigskin around this year, they made up for it by electing Betty Ruth as Homecoming Queen. Her time is largely taken up in the Fine arts school where drawing and painiio are her major interests. Aspiring to become Anwkctress, Betty Ruth is already well on her vay to sijessi.

A prominent Greek discusses the probable future of the existing system WHEN a Dartmouth committee of investigation on the social life of that college included among its list of recommendations that all fraternity chapters give up their national charters, a singular note was struck on the old theme: is the fraternity system compatible with the college institution. Peculiar though the Dartmouth situation may be to have caused a competent committee to advise the abolition of national fraternities as a definite aid to achieving the desired relationship between faculty and undergrad- uates, much of what was analyzed bears directly on the fraternity problem everywhere. In considering the fraternity system, its assets and its deficiencies, it is easy to fall into the habit of isolating it from the educational institution. To do so is exceedingly short-sighted. Fraternities were conceived and have developed as an integral part of colleges and universities. Integral because fraternities have actually been a part of historical pioneering, a footnote in the long chapter of American national expansion. It was to meet the social problems of co-educational institu- tions that college students organized on their own initiative numerous Greek-letter groups. Into the desire for companionship was injected idealism. The early fraternities were distinguished by their freedom from any relationship with the faculty; the only time they contacted it was in opposition to one another. Vith the large and unexpected registration in col- leges of the early twentieth century the problems of housing and decent living quarters became acute. Fraternities, already strong social units, seized the opportunity neglected by the colleges, whether from poverty or indifference, and provided homes for them- selves. All along, however, the fraternities merely mirrored the colleges. During the extravagant twenties the colleges stimulated fraternity mortgage row. If little serious intellectual interest was to be found in the fraternities during the so-called Jazz Age, not much more could be discovered in the average college, or for that matter in American life anywhere. Correspond- ing to the trend in college development, the fraternity- yet remains a thoroughly typical product of our early national history. Nineteen hundred twenty-nine is a convenient punctuation mark for the close of the quarter century that saw the passing of the frontier accelerated by the VorId War and the twenties. With individualism under fire in every phase of American life, it is natural that educational and fraternity systems should also be scrutinized. The truth of the matter is that the end of the era of widespread educational pioneering is plainly By ROBERT BURTIS visible. Standardization of academic values is replac- ing individualism in this field. At the same time there has arisen among college administrators a distinct consciousness of their responsibility for the social and group life of their students. This social planning by college authorities began much earlier in New England than in the West and South and has progressed somewhat in proportion to the passing of frontier conditions. Vitness the elaborate housing plans of Harvard and Yale. Can it be justly assumed, then, that the fraternity system is necessarily doomed? As far as the fraternity as we commonly think of it is concerned, the answer is yes. There is too much evidence that it is a product of the frontier and flourished under conditions not too far removed from it. This does not mean, however, that the high idealism of the Oreek-Ietter society cannot be utilized as an indispensable part of the educational system. North- western University seems to have achieved remarkable success with its system of university-fraternity cooper- ation toward the building of better college men. Its system of resident tutors has gone a long way to bridge the gap between faculty and students. If fraternities are to justify their existence, they must adhere to the cultural and intellectual demands of a college generation which are vastly different than those of a decade ago. Uncontrolled and selfish competition is as harmful in the fraternity as in the economic system. Presumably college education and membership in a fraternity have as one of their largest purposes the development of an intelligent concern for the welfare of the society in which one lives. Unless fraternities recognize their responsibilities, together with the colleges, as members of a community, and not look on themselves as the impeccable source of an exclusive social life, the chances are that fraternity membership will become increasingly insignificant and fraternities will cease to occupy the important place they now hold in campus life. It is rather difficult to believe, however, that organ- izations founded on an atmosphere of high idealism, genuine intellectual interest, and active participation in the improvement of the life about them should be permanently allowed to drop to the leve l of mere social clubs. Their form and organization undoubtedly will change radically, but the spirit of fraternity still has something to offer the college as an allied means to prepare students for greater responsibilities in life.

Its general scope of activity covers a wide field of mutual fra- ternity problems and its major func- tion is the regulation and control of fraternity rushing and pledging activities on the Hill. During the administration of this year ' s Coun- cil a number of vital fraternity prob- lems were untangled and definite progress made toward their complete solution. Some of the most out- standing activities of the Council this year included a revision of fra- ternity pledging regulations; adop- tion of more strict regulations con- cerning competition for the Inter- Fraternity Scholarship Award, given each year by the Council; and adoption of a plan in cooperation with Dr. R. I. Canuteson of Watkins Memorial Hospital which will pro- vide for annual physical examina- tion of all food handlers in the organized houses on the Hill. The major social function of the Council, its annual Spring Formal, was given April 2nd and music was furnished by Leonard Kellar and his orchestra, playing out of Chicago. Third Row: Meier.

The Kansas chapter, one of 60 active chapters of the fra- ternity, was founded here in 18Q7, and is known as Green ' s Inn, so named in honor of Uncle Jimmy Green. The local chapter does not maintain a house, but regular meet- ings and dinners are held at which a practicing attorney, judge, or law professor speaks on various legal subjects. JAYHAWKER A notably successful Prom attests to the efficiency oj the junior officers T! President Paul Fisher 1HIS business of being a junior, like coming of age, is a notable experience. After two years of being obliged to keep your pores open and your moutb sbut, it ' s quite a thrill to join the ranks of those who know, and know that they know. And by way of expressing this class feeling, it ' s customary for the members of the junior class to choose officers. These officers are selected from the sophomore class each Spring for the important purpose of maintaining the much-adver- tised esprit de corps of the class. Chief qualifications for the officers are an engaging personality and a will- ingness to be present and smiling at all functions where such representations seems to be a good idea. The male element of this year ' s official group was elected on a party ticket during the annual Spring elec- tion accompanied by all the hubbub and mad scramble that is common to these occasions. The women, on the other hand, hold a dignified and quiet election strictly on a non-partisan plan ( ' tis rumored otherwise) at the time of the W.S.G.A. election. The year s top man is Paul Fisher, whose election to the presidency was one of the proud boasts of the Pachacamac party last Spring. Other officers who were the choice of the people were Floyd Kelly, the treasurer By BILL GRANT without a treasury, and Dick Ludeman and Foster Parriott, the dance managers. 1 he result of the quiet little affair held by the women elevated Dorothy Trekell to the vice-presidency, and Dorothy Caldwell to the position of secretary. Vhile the duties of these officers are somewhat limited, they do have definite responsibilities. All of them sit on the stage at the Freshman Induction with their very best junior expressions. Then there is the Junior Prom which is really something. People who don ' t know that the junior class exists have heard of the Junior Prom. The oldest institution of its kind, it even antedates the Freshman Frolic, the Sophomore Hop, and the Senior Cakewalk, the big four of the year ' s social occasions. Hence, a great responsibility is placed on the shoulders of those who plan and organize this event, for they must retain the party ' s reputation as the biggest social event of the year and the credit for this year ' s Prom, with its beautiful flowers, its brilliance of decoration, its protective tariff and abundance of gaiety was due to the efforts of the two junior dance managers in cooperation with the varsity dance manager. VhiIe these officers do have the important duty of introducing the freshmen to the school and making arrangements for the Prom, they have still another obligation, which is even more important. Every group from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to the Democratic party must have its leaders to attain a unity of purpose. The junior class officers were chosen to perform this duty of maintain- ing a solidarity of the class. And that they have done in a very commendable fashion.

Tkiele ALUMNI ASSOCIATION , , , AS COMPLETE as the Federal Bureau of Investigation ' s rec- ords are the Alumni Association s files. As the G-man relentlessly pursues the criminal, so does Fred Ellsworth, general secretary, and his office staff keep in contact with past students and graduates of the University. At his command are various files to vhich he can refer to and dig up in a moment s notice information about a past student. Vith the aid of a clipping service with newspapers, free-will letters, personal interviews, and information post cards he keeps a close tab on the alumni. The Graduate Maga- zine, whose personal section has received national recognition in the alumni world, is edited by Mr. Ellsworth and also serves as a fur- ther means in keeping touch with past students. The average student is ignorant of the importance of the Alumni Association ' s duties. It builds up public sentiment in support of the University. In acting as contact agency with the State Legislature, it has helped secure adequate appro- priations for worthy projec ts on the Hill. This group campaigned for the erection of the Stadium and the Union building. It has helped many students to obtain education through its men students ' employ- ment bureau. The Association aids in the organization and financing of band and glee club trips. Within the alumni office a store- house of the school s history and traditions can be found. One cab- inet contains mementos of past events such as dedication and com- mencement programs used in the 80 ' s and 90 ' s. There are row after row of books whose authors were University students. Curious pam- phlets, early Jayhawker copies, and various sorts of publications yellow with age can be uncovered. Left to right: (l) Typical student wanting 700.

L Burl, Vice President THE JAYHAWKER LIFEATRDSEDALE Bell Hospital at Rosedale WHEN showing visitors around our campus. I have always pointed rather apologetically to the yellow frame structure commonly referred to as the Shack and mumbled, and that ' s our medical school. It was a kind of academic inferiority complex that I felt for the school as a whole until my visit a week ago to the University of Kansas Hospitals in Kansas City. Before this, I had heard vaguely of some such institution that was purported to have some con- nection with the University, but the whole thing was just a little obscure to me. A week ago, however, I saw it all with my own eyes. Escorted by smiling Doctor Wahl, Dean of the Medical School, I walked the miles of corridors of Bell Memorial Hospital. I saw the nurses ' quarters and the classrooms. I saw the operating rooms full of gleaming apparatus and the infant wards full of new-born, kicking babies. I saw the great kitchens, a bustle of movement and a con- fusion of noise, preparing fifteen hundred meals a day. I saw the library, tomb-like in its quiet, towering with stacks of books. I smelled the ominous odor of strange medicines in the treating rooms and the cheery tang of fresh paint in the newly completed children ' s wing. And I glimpsed the scores of dirty, bewildered human beings waiting in long lines for medical care; infected hands and diseased eyes, a child twisted with arthritis and a woman about to have a baby. All this! I exclaimed. Is all this a part of the University? Doctor XVahl ' s eyes twinkled. Yes, he said, and look out of the window. The building on your left is the colored hospital. That big new one straight ahead is the new clinic building. To its left is the laboratory, and then the warehouse. To the right is the heating building. This huge institution, this aggregation of buildings, doctors, nurses, students, and patients, known collectively as the University of Kansas Hospitals, is as directly connected with the University at Lawrence as is Snow Hall. It is simply At the University o Kansas Hospitals trie budding Doctors finish their college training. By ROBERT PEARSON a vast laboratory for the students of the medical school, with living, breathing human beings for equipment and vital diseases for problems. The students there are just as surely students in the University as are the engineers or the law boys. K. U. is simply unique in that a very large and very impressive part of its campus lies forty miles away, at Fortieth and Rainbow Boulevard, in Kansas City. We can best see the relationship of this human laboratory to the University through the eyes of a medical student. Each man studying there has at least six years of training already behind him. Far back, as a hopeful pre-medic, he became acquainted with the basic sciences of all medicine; namely, biology and chemistry. Of course his being there means also that he did not succumb to such eliminating courses as physics and German, but once they are mastered they do not rear their ugly heads again. Biology and chem- istry, however, are a different matter. After three years, when the aspiring student enters the medical school at Lawrence, he begins to specialize and apply these two basic sciences. In the field of biology he concentrates on bacteriology and anatomy; in chemistry, on bio- chemistry. Laboratory, the real practice in these sciences, becomes increasingly important. Then, at the end of another three years, the student enters the final lap, the University of Kansas Hospitals. There the same basic sciences are further specialized and further applied, but with real human beings taking the place of test-tubes and dumb animals. In bacteriology, the student has studied disease-producing organisms; now, in pathology, he studies the diseases as they are pro- duced. In bio-chemistry, he has studied drugs and chemicals; now, in pharmacology, he studies their actual effect on diseases. There are still classrooms, of course, but instead of going to lab at Snow Hall, one goes to the out-patient clinic. (Continued on Page 3t?) ALPHA OMEGA ALPHA.

Padgett JAYHAWKER MUSSOLINI: THE MAN , , , , (Editor ' s note: Mr. Hullinger, who is now serving as a professor in the University journalism department, is amply qualified to write of Italy ' s dictator from a long period of personal acquaintance with the Fascist leader.) By EDWIN VARE HULLINGER MY first glimpse of Mussolini was when he landed in Tripoli, on the coast of Africa, to make his colorful, triumphant tour of the old Roman colony. The scene in that picturesque Arab seaport, where the Dictator was to be acclaimed by his followers as the modern Caesar, furnished a striking background for a first sight of this man who is master of a nation, and who yesterday was a private in the Italian army, a Socialist exile, a newspaper editor, a blacksmith ' s son. Up and down the beautiful cement esplanade, built by Count Volpi when he was governor of Tripolitania, stretched a sand-carpeted path, lined by troops. At one end was the romantic Moorish fortress, in which our American Commodore Perry was imprisoned dur- ing the war with the Mediterranean pirates. At the other end was the pier, where stood a stately native prince, once ruler of the province, now mayor of Tripoli, under the Fascisti. On both sides of the passageway crowded thousand upon thousand of white- robed Arabs, who had come from the desert wastes behind, from beautiful date oases, or from tending their flocks, in Biblical fashion. Behind, rose the white pro- file of the city, with its domes, its square buildings and flat roofs, and slim, tall minarets outlined against the intense blue of the African sky. Vaguely, there came to us the faint sound of desert pipes and the beating of drums. The cannons in the citadel had just ceased firing their salute of twenty-one guns. Into this long avenue Mussolini rode, on a brown Arab charger, at the head of a guard of honor of Savaris (Arab cavalrymen, clad in crimson robes and mounted on white horses). It was a scene made for a conqueror. And Mussolini looked every inch the part, as he rode slowly past, sitting stiffly erect in his black velvet saddle. He was of medium stature. His nose was still painted with iodine. (He had escaped death from an assassin ' s bullet only four days before). But even this blemish did not detract from the forceful reserve of his bearing. He wore a gray-green Fascist uniform with black fez and high white plume. He radiated confidence. He had that perfect bodily self- control, that balance, that many call poise. His face was immobile, and he held his head as stiffly as if he had indeed been ruler of the world. The whole picture was one of power and color, a scene for a stage, and Mussolini lived up to the situation. I could see the sparkle of appreciation in the eyes of the natives around me as he went by. He represented the kind of a man they could understand. Foreign ruler that he was, he appealed to their love of virile qualities, their admiration for self-mastery and the ability to command others. I had many opportunities to study Mussolini, from a distance of three or four feet, for long periods of time, during the week that followed, as our auto cara- van went through the colony with him. But I never saw to better advantage than the first day, what might be called the quality of the dictator in him. That spark that every great inspirational leader of men must have, and without which he does not avail. Some call it magnetism; others, fire or force. It is something to which all human beings react to a greater or less degree, and it thrills the masses. It was not a pose, for it was not a fake. His atti- tude was a trifle exaggerated, judged by American standards, but it was not exaggerated in the eyes of the Italians or of the Arabs. It was a posture of aloofness, but the attitude of a man every atom alive, a man who is on his guard every second and realizes the necessity of it. Ve watched him that morning as he sat motionless on his horse save for the periodic stiff salute in front of the citadel, as the troops filed in review. Ve saw him, sharply outlined in the narrow upper-story win- dow of the castle, as he appeared, for an instant, to wave to the crowd below. He always cut a striking figure. I stood behind him that evening on the second bal- cony of the governor s mansion, at the reception, as he acknowledged the cheers that came from the sea of upturned, animated faces below us. They shouted again and again. He bowed and saluted. In the scene was the burning enthusiasm of a great college football rally. There was sincerity as well as warmth in the shouts that continued to come as long as Mussolini was visible. It is like the old days when the people called ' Ave Caesar, is it not? one of the correspondents remarked to Mussolini, in Italian, after he had returned to the drawing-room. Mussolini smiled and nodded. And that evening as we went to our hotel, we saw huge green posters pasted on the walls, reiterating, almost to the word, the historic phrase. It was during this tour through the colony, however, and in personal conversations with him, that I saw Highlights from the personality of the man who is Italy Edwin Vare Hulfinger the human side of Mussolini. Time and again I studied his face as he replied to a wel- come from a native chief, stood watch- ing an Arab spec- tacle, or chatted with us. And as we saw him thus in close contact, we came to realize the human qualities of the Dictator of which the few who know him inti- mately speak, but of which the world at large knows little. We saw his sense of humor. We felt his genuine- ness, his American directness. You felt his scorn of the half-way, his immediate grasp of situations and skill in handling them. One could see in his eyes that he understood. He knew the kind of people he was dealing with, saw through them, and knew how to handle them to produce results. Always his central idea, his program, was foremost, and he held to it. If necessary to hold people at a distance, to be haughty, in order to make them feel the weight of his mission, he would do it. If it was desirable to impress them with his own personal importance to command respect for his words, he would do that. This latter trait has sometimes caused him to appear ridiculous to American eyes, and has laid him open to the charge of conceit. He does often speak as a very wise father to little children. Once I recall in Rome he told a group of laborers, I know a great deal about this. I have studied all phases of the mat- ter. I know, and you must do as I say! To an Anglo- Saxon, this manner of speech sounds absurd. But it was not conceit that prompted it, judging from what I have seen of the character of the man; and I ques- tion whether anyone observant of human nature could have come away from Tripolitania with the idea that Mussolini suffered from a distorted perspective. In my opinion, Mussolini knows what he is doing when he talks big. And it does not seem absurd to his hearers. In the contacts of our tour of Libia, I also found a man of far greater sensitiveness than I had expected. Mussolini reacted instantaneously to everything. His face might be immobile if expedient that it be so, but his eyes revealed that he had caught the point. There was a delightful twinkle in them at times. One came to sense, also, that the armor of his hard exterior enclosed a soul that was sensitive, that the set of his face, its fierceness at times, was in reality a defense against life. This conclusion is borne out by the opinions of the few the very few who know him intimately. Musso- lini has few real intimates. He is, and must be, very much alone. But when he has chosen a friend, persons who have been in his entourage for several years say, it always has been, not a man of the conventional strong man type, but a man of unusual sensitiveness. His best personal friend in Rome, a young man who has served as his secretary, is one of the gentlest of men. When away from public gaze, Mussolini has considerable of the artist in him. He is a violinist, and spends hours alone with his instrument, playing. In his lighter moments, Mussolini can be boyish and enthusiastic. Will Rogers spoke of his jovialness when he met him in Rome, adding that he was a regular guy. Mussolini understood ViII Rogers. Otherwise, he would not have received him as he did. And once in awhile as we went through North Africa, we caught flashes of this spirit. When, in Tripoli, the native black troopers (after entertaining him with a sword dance) seized him, hoisted him to their shoul- ders, and, yelling, carried him to his auto, Mussolini s face had a grin from ear to ear. He was as delighted as any college boy enjoying the thrill of a ride on his fellows ' shoulders. In Garia, when the native maidens danced a hootchy-kootchy, Mussolini ' s face was as steady as a Stoic ' s. But those near him did not miss the amusement in his eyes. Mussolini has limitations. His life has been a battle. Circumstances have not permitted all sides of his per- sonality to develop as they might have under other conditions. My estimate of the man is that he is a person who has not yet reached his full development. He is still growing. In this respect, he differs from Lenin, who came upon the stage in Russia in the full glory of his powers. Mussolini came dramatically but he came a bit half-baked. He has had to get done while under the limelight. He had to learn, and has learned many things both personally and politically. In the field of international politics he has grown much wiser. He has advanced in drawing-room technique. Vhen I was introduced to him at a tea he gave for the foreign correspondents, he was personally delightful. I have never met any one more cordial, responsive, fully alive and full of good will. He was (Continued on Page 325) The whirl of winter parties gives our correspondent plenty to discuss WELL, here we go on the lap just before the last. I guess, inasmuch as this is the Kansas Relays issue, a good old track meet expression can be forgiven. Certainly next issue there should be more to write about than this time, what with spring parties and all. At least there is something to start off on you know of that much-talked-of affair, the Phi Delt, $1,500, more or less party on Saturday, February 6, with the orchids, tails, Bobby Meeker, et cetera. You will remember that Bobby and his lads could not be present for the all-school event, the Soph Hop, but he was here all right for the Phi Delts. The music was superb and with the orchids, the tails, the band, and the lovely silver and red decorations well it was one swell party. Not to be outdone, the Kappa Sigs came hurriedly back one week later with their annual Black and White dinner dance. This too, was a stunning affair with gardenias replacing the orchids, and as an added attraction, a lovely silver bud vase as a favor. Red Blackburn played this one, and no remarks, for we heard it was every bit as good as the Phi Delt occasion mayhaps a trifle more costly who can say. The Thetas came through with their belated winter formal the next evening. This party packed the Union ballroom to capacity. By its appropriate date, it was made a Valentine ' s affair; a large cupid hung above the band, hearts and silhouettes adorned the room, and on the low fence enclosing the room was a large heart with every girl and her date ' s name inscribed. By THE SPOKESMAN The Delta Chis pulled a Valentine party too, on this same night. Louis Kuhn played and the house was appropriately decorated for the occasion. Nosegays were given as favors. The girls at Corbin also entertained at their house on that night. On Friday, February 19, the engineers took off their hobnails and boots, ditched their slide rules, and went social at their annual Hobnail Hop. Blackburn played this on e, and we turned on the radio to their broadcast just as the new Engine Queen was being announced. The Queen, Gam Phi ' s Mary Katherine Dorman, came through with speech No. 28 I ' m just too thrilled for words as she was presented to the audience and received the miniature slide rule annually given to the Queen. A little sidelight comes in here as we noted in the Daily Kansan s rotogravure section, a picture of the aspirants to the queenship that is all but Mary K only her towering shoulder was caught by the camera Congrats nevertheless, Dorman. Well to get on, the Pi K A ' s had a little gathering at the Eldridge and the Alpha Phi Alphas entertained with a party somewhere on the next evening. Now comes the social function that sets the Old Wheel whirling at a rapid rate. Perhaps one of the least talked of and probably one of the largest pieces of extravagance the Hill has known for many years occurred on the evening of February 20 at the Hotel Eldridge, when the members of Sigma Nu really flung one. Phi Delts and Kappa Sigs, back to your hovels. Although Bobby Meeker was not present, the orchids and tails were there, and in addition, a charming manicure outfit in the form of a silver-crested top hat was presented to all those present. Indeed this is a year of splendor. Wonder if I can borrow a dollar? February 26 What ' s this, another Pi K A party yes, guess that must be right. And now, the down-trodden journalists the K. U. Press Club rented the Elks Hall and proceeded with a dinner dance. Red Blackburn ' s band, or part of them, played, and the would-be editors, etc.. forthwith drowned their sorrows with music and the like. My. my, a memorable evening. You -will probably remember that the Sour Owl sponsored a Hill ' s Most Fascinating He and She contest. This day, February 27, the winners were announced. And can you imagine Jody Stewart of Pi Beta Phi and Anthony Onofrio of the Delta Chi lodge walking off with the silver loving cups. Under- tones and mumblings informed us that the Brother Delta Chis went to bat for Antone, by going around to all the stores sponsoring the contest on the closing eve, and collected the unused ballots in the name of the Sour Owl. We happen to know that the Sig Chis and the Kappa Sigs too. were out at the same time scouring up the town for votes for Warren Gille and Chuck Lueck respectively, but not in such a clever manner. With the coming of March, came the Junior Prom. This indeed was a party of which the dear old class of ' 38 can be justly proud. Anson Weeks was at the helm, and Margie Dee, petite blonde was the featured vocalist. Although we heard the remark by one local gal that Margie sounded like she was singing with her head in a bucket, the g eneral consensus of opinion seemed to be in quite the opposite direction. One of the two piano players stole the show, however, as has been the case when a big band conies to town of late, and the crowd surged around his side of the band stand continually. The party was we ' ' attended, in fact a little over- crowded, and the task of finding one ' s date was no little job. Tails again crowded to the fore and many new spring formal were in evidence. The next evening the Delta Taus splurged and held a party, as did the Sigma Chis. The latter party was a $25 affair held at the chapter house honoring Ruff Johnson. We haven ' t figured out yet whether Ruff was a real flesh and blood being, but the party was a novel and tricky affair, so we heard, being strictly informal. Many of the girls wore sweaters and skirts (Thank God) while the lads attired themselves in any- thing comfortable. A strip dance by Tom King, and a Lights Out production over the radio were the outstanding features which kept the audience in high spirits. A negro five-piece orchestra provided the music. March 12 brought the Co-ed issue of the Sour Owl. Quite a clever issue it was, presenting the Most Fascinating Heels as well as the Most Fascinating He and She for approval. In the evening, the Campus Co-eds escorted their favorite male friends to the Co-ed Hop. The gals footed the bills and transportation on this occasion. Novel corsages were in evidence and many lads were put on the cross for their actions during the year as the ladies walked disdainfully by. scorning to cut. Louie Kuhn played for the party. The following night, a dime-a-dance party was in line at the Union. This arrangement was received with favor, as it provided for no cutting during a dance.

That extra ten will buy a pair of Bostonian sport shoes and some new Arrow shirts. Despite the absence of much spring weather, ye sons of Kansas have done pretty well towards out- fitting themselves in spring clothes. A perusal of clothes closets around the Hill would reveal a great many spring suits all tucked away for Easter wear. Boh Riederer, the Delt prexy, who has often appeared in some mighty nice outfits has one of those new gray-green numbers, in a dou- ble-breasted, modified drape model with a chalk stripe. The latter serves admirably well to add those slenderizing lines. Charles ViIIiams of the Delia Chis picked a single-breasted Eng- lish Drape model in a brown, sub- dued Glen plaid. It ' s a mighty nice looking number. At the Sig Alph house, outstanding is the new green- blue gabardine number sported by Jim Daniels. This too is a drape model, with a chalk stripe and is of the new unfinished gabardine which is becoming so popular. It might be interesting to mention here the remarkable trend toward the drape inodel suit, which, to be very modest, your correspondent has been advocating for some seasons. It ' s a swell looking model and extremely comfortable, yet does not sacrifice the dressy appearance which is possible when sportbacks are worn. But when we speak of sport- backs, don ' t become alarmed. By fall, thev should be back stronger than ever, with the evident return to the original bi-swing back which has proved to be one of the most popular models of that kind. Then, too, this model lends itself to a dressier appearance than most of the sportback numbers. Stan Marietta, student council man, with Phi Beta Kappa and other accomplishments too numer- ous to mention, tops his spring wardrobe with a gray, full drape, double-breasted, pin stripe number that is indeed dressy. Dave Fisher of the S. P. E. boys believes in gabardine and to prove his belief, has chosen a double-breasted medium brown number of this type with patch pockets and all the trimmings. It has a slight overcheck of red, which gives it a nice bit of distinction. In the line of spring topcoats we noticed that Frank Varren of Phi Delta Theta has acquired one of those new camel hair models which are fast returning to pop- ularity. Single-breasted and balmac- can. Bill Meissner, musical-minded Sigma Chi goes for the lighter colored topcoats too, with a cream wrap-around model, with large sub- dued overcheck of brown. Buzz Banks of the Betas, prefers his spring coat in a darker hue, but likes the balmaccan model which probably goes to prove that balmac- can is now and will be again in the fall, the leader in topcoat models. Over at the Phi Gam house, Bob Bittman has picked a style leader, (Continued on Page 316) The Sign of Good Clothes The Man on the Horse Q And you get these correctly good clothes in Lawrence All the Year Round at CARL ' S 905 Massachusetts St. perfect waltz frock for your moonlight and mag- nolia moods is a romantic cloud of gossamer chiffon.

However, if everyone is waiting for this Easter vacation as a logical time to hit the family for some new duds as I am doing, there is really not a great deal to report. Some day I hope that copy of this type can be turned in after a vacation instead of the night before (Ed. please note). Some people like this sort of thing, and, anyway, it is a great space-filler, so I am going to make a few personal nominations of some of the better dressed coeds on the Hill. Have you ever noticed that Betty Lou McFarland, Man.- Simp- son, Beth ' Stirling, Virginia Shel- don and Roberta Mitchell are always unusually immaculate? And how well groomed are the hands of Man- K. Dorman and Mary Jane Haines? If more redheads would follow Bertha White ' s example in choosing clothes to set their hair to advantage they would profit. In more envious moments I have often wished for a collection of good-look- ing sweaters like Peggy Lynch possesses. At the Women ' s Pan-Hellenic party I heard comment on two par- ticularly outstanding formals that were worn by Betty Jean Sayles, Kappa, and Aldine Kizler. Betty (Continued on Page 317) Rothschild ' s Has the Clothes Young Moderne Fashions distinguished b) Quality and Style Without Extravagance On Main at Tenth KANSAS CITY JAYHAWKER in a gray herringbone, hard finish number, with faint, wide, wine stripe.

The basic color is pearl gray with dark gray, black and red overchecks which cer- tainly provide a mighty nice com- bination and a most adaptable sport coat. Incidentally Mr. Deiter writes that Yale and other of the eastern schools are really in the midst of the swing for bright colored sport coats. So, guess we ' re not so far behind are we? Anyway, sport coats are more popular than ever and fast becoming a necessary part of every man ' s wardrobe. Bill Cochrane who officiates as boss of the Union building, picked sharkskin as the material for his spring model. Single-breasted, brown, with faint overstripe, it carries plenty of drape. Shirts for spring should continue the trend toward color, with lots of stripes, possibly fewer checks. The stripes are expected to be bright as evidenced by last month s Arrow Shirt of the Month number. Pastel shades in the solid colors will be especially good for wear with the lighter spring and summer clothes. A new note in shoes is the return towards the combinations of black and white and brown and white, about equally divided between wing tip models and straight tips. Inci- dentally the new Norwegian mocca- sins are appearing more frequently so we may expect to see a lot of this most comfortable knock-about shoe. Vhite bucks of course will predominate as the standard for dress wear. For you lovers of polo shirts, advance information leads us to believe that these shirts for spring will be a great improvement over former models, in that they will be much dressier appearing, together with some evidence of a trend towards a trick collar that can be worn either as a polo collar or a regular dress collar. Broadcloths will be used to some extent as well as the former cotton and rayon.

The crepe skirt was black and full, topped by a white lace tunic that was full at the hip- line, short sleeved and had a Peter- Pan collar. A wide sash, tying in a bow at the back added the final dash. Aldine ' s dress was a luscious lemon colored chiffon, of high neck- line cut and a full skirt. The deeper orange ribbon that banded the top and hern of the same colored slip was a particularly nice note. Several striking coats have appeared on the campus lately. Emily Vance, Chi Omega, wears a n Page 315) knockout in nutria wool and black. The cut is slightly suggestive of a Russian cossack coat and the full hem-line is banded with black, as are the sleeves. Though the coat is very light, it is lined in black. Mary House, Theta, has one of the new jigger coats that is exceedingly attractive. It is a delft blue wool, with padded shoulders, and wide revers. After this vacation, this sleuth promises to be more or less on the job of catching a glimpse of the results of your Easter shopping jaunts. LIFE AT ROSEDALE (Continued roi In administration, the medical school at Kansas City is tied closely with the University, but the hos- pitals are financed directly by the state. Moreover, this is only fair and proper, for they do a tremen- dous service to the state. Located not far from the railroad bottoms and the industrial district, the Uni- versity of Kansas Hospitals serve multitudes who could not otherwise afford medical care. The best doc- tors of Kansas City, aided by the medical students, offer their services free of charge providing they are sure that the patients are sincerely needy. In appreciation of this, a special department is kept busy investigating the financial condi- tion of those seeking free medical treatment. Dr. Wahl explained that a charge of twenty-five cents a visit is still made as a psychological trick. If a patient receives care for noth- ing, he concludes it is worth noth- ing, and hence refuses to cooperate. Since the twenty-five cent charge has been imposed, the treatments have been much more effective than before. Two types of patients are served. The out-patients are those whose ailments do not require con- finement or isolation and who only call for clinical treatments. Sixty thousand patients of this kind were taken care of last vear. The other i Page 302) type, the in-patients, are those con- fined to the hospital beds and visited daily by a doctor or by a student under the supervision of a doctor. The three hundred beds of Bell Memorial are filled constantly. To call the entire system at Kan- sas City the Bell Memorial Hospital is both a misnomer and an under- statement. Dr. Bell first contributed buildings farther down in Rosedale which made the medical school in Kansas City possible. When the main hospital was moved to its present, more-desirable site, the name of a generous founder was retained. Since then, however, the other buildings have been added by other funds having no association with Dr. Bell or his estate. Part were by state contributions, part by private donations, and part by fed- eral funds. Thus the main building is still called Bell Memorial, but the others, including those down the hill which are still used for class- room instruction, are called collec- tively the University of Kansas Hos- pitals. Ve who are proud of our University are often only too little aware of how proud we really should be, seldom bothering to remember that tremendously large and tremendously important part of our campus forty miles away.

And the Hon. Walter A. Hux- man, Kansas governor and alumnus of the University ' s school of law, will preside as honorary referee. But the Relays do not constitute the entire program for the week-end. On April 16, the thirty-third annual K. U. Interscholastic Meet will be held in Memorial Stadium. Still not strictly a division of the Relays, this meet, however, has so grown to be connected with the collegiate meet that the two are constantly associated in the minds of sports fans. The Interscholastic Meet is run in two classes for high schools of Kansas only, with a high school of more than 200 enrollment class- ing as A, and all other schools being classed as B. Strictly an invi- tation affair, this meet annually attracts approximately 1,800 entries, making it the largest field of competition of its kind in Kansas. Here have competed many young athletes who have gone on to make names for themselves in college cir- cles. A glance at the following names and records will find some of the men who went on to prove their worth on college tracks: One-mile run: Cunningham, Elk- hart, 1Q30, 4 minutes, 31.4 seconds. 440-yard run: MacCaskill, Wich- ita North, 1933, 50.8 seconds. 220-yard dash: Fisher, VinfieId, 1921, 22 2 5 seconds. Pole vault: Bird, Arkansas City, 1934, 12 feet, 6% inches. Shot put: Dees, Lorraine, 1930, 58 feet, 10 inches. Discus throw: Vhite, Pleasan- ton, 1930, 135 feet, 8 ' 2 inches. And so midwestern sports fans are on the eve of witnessing what bids fair to be the Kansas Relays ' . Page 256) outstanding renewal of track and field competition among high school and college athletes. The caravan of interscholastic performers will descend on Law- rence on Thursday, the day before their meet. Friday will see between fifteen hundred and two thousand of them donning spikes and warm- ups, and the day will be filled, from morning until evening, with trial heats and finals in a full program of track and field competition. Always an attraction to the many University of Kansas students whose home-town high schools are in attendance, this meet will furnish its share of future college athletes. Be the weather favorable, many records are in danger of falling before the onslaught. Also on Friday begins the gruel- ling contest of the decathlon com- petition. Last year twenty-three athletes entered this event. Their struggle lasts through Saturday morning. Although a Bausch or a Morris will probably -win this year ' s decathlon championship, it is unlikely that he will see Olympic fame, for the next Olympiad, to be held in Japan, is three years away. The week-end will reach its cli- max on Saturday afternoon when nearly a thousand college athletes will congregate at Memorial Sta- dium for the Relays proper. To have a full program speedily run off is the aim of the officials, and at all times two or three events will be in full swing. This excepts the mile- run, for which the field will prob- ably be cleared to give it the center of the stage. Records will fall and possible Olympic contenders will be crowned as April 17 closes on the fifteenth annual Little Olympics of the Middlewest. ANOTHER CROWN FOR KANSAS (Continued rom Page 263) forced the Wildcats into an over- time period before they finally went down, but in the end they lost by a single point, 32-33. Groves, the star Kansas State center, outjumped Wellhausen in the early stages of the game and when the tall Jay- hawker began to get the tip, the Wildcats stole the ball, time and again. Vith possession of the ball most of the time, the Kansas State cagers shot the extreme number of 90 times and made good on 15 attempts. The Jayhawkers rebounded viciously from this unexpected deteat and two nights later Iowa State had to bear the brunt of their wrath. Stacking the goals, Kansas ran off to a 24-10 lead at half- time. The unfortunate Iowa State men did a little better in the second half but were forced to watch Kan- sas score more than 40 points for the first and only time during the conference season. 41-28 was the final score. The Jayhawkers played their best game ol the year the following week in massacring Oklahoma 39-19. The players were hitting the basket from all angles and threw out such a stiff defense that the Sooners were unable to score from the field until there were but 15 seconds left to play in the first half. It was a won- derful finish for four regulars who were playing their last game on the home court. Wellhausen and Pralle each tallied 1 1 points. Unfortunately, the Jayhawkers were unable to maintain this pace, and in fact were almost at the other extreme, when they met Nebraska in the crucial game at Lincoln. As when they played the Cornhuskers at Lawrence they had trouble getting the ball in the bas- ket. The players were taut and nerv- ous and this time it was Nebraska which emerged a five-point winner. 37-32. The Jayhawkers scored only 1 1 times from the field and had to depend on 10 free throws to keep them in the game. Pralle was high scorer for Kansas with two field goals and five free throws. With a share of the title at stake, the Jayhawkers went to Missouri and came through with a decisive victory. The Tigers held Kansas well in the first half, but the second period saw the Jayhawkers roll up a total of 39 points to Missouri ' s 24. Pralle contributed three field goals and six free throws, Well- hausen dropped in five buckets and Rogers accounted for nine points. Thirteen letters were awarded at the end of the season. The men winning them were: Paul Rogers, Roy HoIIiday, Sylvester Schmidt, Al Wellhausen. Ray Noble, Fred Pralle, George Golay, Fen Durand, Lyman Corlis, Dave Lutton, Carl Veidner, Lester Kappelman and Fred Bosilevac. Graduation will take four reg- ulars, Rogers, HoIIiday. Well- hausen and Noble, and one reserve, Lutton. Schmidt and Pralle are juniors and the remaining six are sophomores. Vith these men as a nucleus, it is expected that Dr. Allen will build a top ranking team next year. Golay, former all-state high school center, is an outstand- ing candidate for center. Golay is six feet, three inches tall and a potent scorer. He was high point man in several of the early season non-conference games. Durand and Corlis are crack performers who combine scoring ability with fine floor work. Both should fit very well into Dr. Allen ' s style of play. From the freshman team come several outstanding candidates. Most promising are Carl Johnson of Kansas City, Missouri, forward: Junior Florell of Topeka, center: and Dick Harp of Kansas City and Bruce Reid of Arkansas City, guards.

Friedland puts steel on his so it will be heavier to throw far- ther, thus cutting down friction to air. Also they do not bounce so much. At the Relays Friedland, using his special custom-built shot, put it a long ways which is 100 feet. Vhich is not so good for rec- ord holders, but swell for him who explains his success by not eating prepared breakfast foods but biting heads off nails which eliminates toothbrushing. Vhen some men run around handing other men little sticks it is called a relay. Once they used a lot of little sticks put together which is a javelin. Javelins do not look like golf clubs or fishing poles. Well, in this relay men took hold of the javelin and ran like a loco- motive whose time has come and there it is not. Some groups had trouble because when stuff is not in rhythm, things go haywire which is used to bind hay and is generally not considered good for teams but only for horses. (And corners are not like pie which should be cut before getting around.) Vhen a group did this a bunch did not think it was fair to unaffiliated bak- eries so Vade Green stuck the stick between the legs of the head man. Which was fatal for him making him to fall upon his puss. Falling on your puss is not like eating apples a fireplace in front of. Hurdlers are made, not born, so to make a hurdler a good runner as in stockings or Harry Wiles is required. By processing he is trained to put his feet behind his neck which is useful when they are in the way. And to stand on his head which is necessary if someone tells you to. Then they are hurdlers. Now hurdles are things to be jumped over. Sometimes they are called other stuff when the hurdler, as he is called, does not hurdle, as it is called, high enough generally. In the Relays a new type of hurdling (to hurdle) is used. A stick is used which by a push with you can get over hurdles quicker sometimes. It your stick breaks your lucky num- ber is probably not 13 because you must still finish the race which is bad. You can stand on your head but your feet must go over too, which places you at a disadvantage. The Kansas Relays are a national institution but not like Sing-Sing or President Roosevelt. No attempt is made to plow under cotton, wheat, hogs, or Supreme Court justices or see that people behave. Because people have more fun, and at the Kansas Relays. Stuff great, the Kansas Relays.

With sorority and fraternity initiations and flowers and tele- grams a thing of the past the intramural swimming and wrestling contests over, the women decided it was time to throw a Pan-Hel dance. This they did on March 20. and we aren ' t kidding. Blackburn was the maestro, the lasses bought the tickets, the lads the corsages, and everyone appeared in the best of spirits. Many say ' twas one of the better parties. Well, we are almost through for the time being. Editor Coleman says the story must be on time and that was some time ago. We have one more little item here that might be of interest. On Saturday. March 20, the Sigma Chis took the opportunity to entertain with their annual Masque Party. This party was one of a surprise nature. It took place in the Memorial Union ballroom which was rigged out as a circus with the big top, popcorn, peanuts, soda pop, ice cream and the like. Side show attractions graced the sides of the building and Blackburn and his boys, were dressed in real circus fashion. Twas the Chis who woke me from a sound sleep as they serenaded the Kappas that night. Looks like we have come to the end of the social festivities for the time being. Guess maybe we can take up from here on the Com- mencement number if the editor is still willing. God, why does the deadline and final or mid-semester exams always come at the same time. Oh well, why gripe, Easter vacation is here. Lots of cute new rushees will doubtless give us something inter- esting to comment on next time, so with that we will leave you with a reminder to be sure and attend the Kansas Relays. THIS ' N ' THAT (ConfinueJ from Page 259) variety, was pronounced successful by those who attended, and the fairer sex had an opportunity to even up the score with those public enemies who constitute the perma- nent stag line at varsity dances. And for the first time in years the Owls have done something besides meet. For the uninformed, the Owls are composed of junior men who have proved their ability to make the low- est grades consistent with respect- able scholarship and to minimize the degree of moral turpitude involved in an active career in Hill politics. At this writing the Men ' s Glee Club has just departed upon their annual vacation excursion through Kansas. While in the process ol contributing to the musical edifica- tion of the common folk of the state, they will doubtless enjoy themselves in the customary style, while the citizenry will wag their heads over the pace set by these college fellers. In closing, the Jayhawker is over- come by a desire to strew an orchid or two in the path of Elizabeth Shearer. late of the Peehawker office force. Your correspondent has prob- ably been as closely associated as anyone in school with the Jay- hawker for the last few years, and has had the opportunity of knowing her since she first entered school. To my mind no other person has ever contributed more to the success or prosperity of the magazine than the Chillicothe flash. Liz is now relaxing from the strain of life at the Theta house and Jayhawker office by prowling around in Mexico. She is getting a much-deserved vacation and we all wish her well. As was intimated in the opening paragraph, the only break in the grind before it all ends is Easter. Beyond that looms commencement. The seniors prepare for that last march down the Hill before the wicked world swallows them, and we see them here no more. The more fortunate undergrads are already making plans for restful vacations or a riotous summer session at Boulder.

' Now that is the wrong thing to tell an amateur critic. Hummm, we said to ourself. This sounds like he s looking for a plug. Boy, will we tear this one upl So sitting ourselves down one night, the curtain went up on a very good-looking set and sound and fury came from off stage. It was a family argument so real and of such intensity that everyone in the audience immediately felt at home. And when Harry Bertrand, played by Sam Kimble as the irate husband concerned in the battle, came on stage sans pants, we began to wonder if the sophistication of the audience would be on a par with that of the author and his interpreters. The ease with which the play got underway proved that they were. Esther Hollecker in the part of the belligerent wife, Florence Ber- trand, gave an excellent interpreta- tion of what every wife should not, but which they do, do if you get the idea. Her very realistic rantings had no sure realist aspects for they were universally understood, and best of all, handled with the proper restraint. Perhaps it would be stretching things a bit to say that every male heart beat a little faster and that flashes of envy and admiration appeared in every feminine eye when Betty Ruth Smith, in the part of heroine Ann Marvin, made her entrance. Miss Marvin was well taken care of by Miss Smith. Straight roles with a minimum of belly-laughs and eyebrow-lifting lines are hard to portray. This Smith girl did a creditable job. Added experience on the boards will make her do a better one a year from now. But she should have gotten one of those extra curtain calls that CALLED LOVE Irani Page 260) we were griping about in the first of this article. And while discussing the women, special tribute is here paid to Lucille Wagner. Miss Vagner took one of those parts whose only excuse for existence was for comedy relief. As the happily married wile, Dolly Garrett, she gushed, tittered and flounced over the stage in truly professional manner that earned her trie laughs and admiration of the audience. Joe Myers played on an equal par as her bored husband. And we might as well finish the women off while we are at it. In most triangle plays, the other woman is a vamp and This Thing Called Love ' was no exception. Miss Alvarez, a South American siren, was played by Mary Frances Martin. It is always plain to see why Miss Martin was elected the most fascinating coed last year, but you put her on the stage as a Spanish temptress and, boy, you ' ve got something. But her accent could have been more convincing which is a problem for the Spanish depart- ment, not us. She did Okay. Larry Vightman as the leading man was sufficiently naive and convincing as the lover with his six- foot-plus height, broad shoulders and handsome features. His job was to radiate that dumb, boyish type of charm that puts every woman in the theatre right in his lap and makes the men in the audience sympathetic. If you know the aver- age college student, boyish charm isn ' t served on silver platters or in gross lots and we must admit that Vightman did succeed in doing some plain and fancy charming. And the nice thing about it, not a man in the house thought he did it with even a trace of lavender, which deserves a cheer and should earn an A for him if he is taking any courses in the dramatics depart- ment this semester. That good-looking devil, Fred Littooy, played the other man in the husband-wife-Iover triangle and when he walked on stage, feminine sighs arose like the gentle spring winds in Fowler grove, or over the stadium, whichever you prefer. Seri- ously though, Littooy is what the boys at the race track call a comer. He wears his clothes like a fellow of the cinema called Taylor and has a voice that with the proper nursing has possibilities of thrilling many a feminine heart. He carried his part well, if a bit lacking in restraint. Special recognition should be observed here for those people in every play production who don ' t roll ' em in the aisles, or dramatically shed a tear, or shoot a gun, or even kiss the heroine. So let the names of James Bradfield as the butler Dumary, and Lucille Gaynor as the maid Marie, be inscribed rever- ently on these pages as contributing to the success of This Thing Called Love. They should get a separate and distinct curtain call, for their s is truly a labor of love. Never before has a play been so perfectly cast. Many minor faults could be found with the more tech- nical details such as the use of too- subdued footlights, the oversubor- dination of the male lead in favor of the feminine lead and a notice- able lack of restraint on the part of some of the players, but on the whole This Thing Called Love achieved enviable success. UNIVERSITY GOVERNORS (Continued from Page 296) several morphosis before attaining its present form. In the first half century of the state of Kansas there existed three distinct educational boards one for the University, one for the State Agricultural Col- lege, and one for the normal schools. This was found to lead to rivalry where appropriations were concerned and tended to increase the curricula of them all beyond reasonable bounds. Therefore, in the state reorgani- zation of 15, the Board of Admin- istration for education was estab- lished. It was composed of three full-time members. Four years later the governor was added to this board as chairman ex-officio and included under the surveillance of the group were all state institutions. This last was a move for econ- omy and was far from successful. The overworked board, with twen- ty-nine institutions in its care, caused the vhole Kansas educa- tional system to suffer, and in ' 25 another change was made by state legislation. Education was now divorced from the original Board of three and a special Board of Regents was formed. A Board, this was, com- posed as it is today of nine mem- bers, serving without salary (expense account only for official business) for a term of four years each. Its duties are to appoint executive heads, and they may remove anyone, with just cause, from the Chancellor down the line. The late W. Y. Morgan of Hutch- inson was the first chairman of the Board, and was succeeded by Mr. Harger in ' 30. As a matter of principal, none of the men on the Board of Regents are from a district wherein a state school is located. This tends to eliminate any partisan feeling, so the Board may work as a unit for the five schools in its jurisdiction. Ve are the product for which these nine men plan.

She is a good dancer, fairly presentable under all circumstances, and for- ever on an endless quest of pleas- ure. Indubitably she believed Dr. Dutten when he said that any girl who works in the din of the factory for eight hours can stand a little necking. She is Sally whom the song writers like to croon about living in the alley, because they rhyme and because she is invari- ably the little flower who is bound to blush unseen on the desert air when a dashing young man asks her if she has seen the new altar in the church. She replies enthusiastically, Lead me to it. Rarely does the chorus claim her, infrequently does she marry- out of her stratium, but we con- stantly find her as John Brown ' s wife, filling his lunch basket in a day that is bounded by the inter- mittent screams of the factory whistle. As I blow a rather irregular smoke ring I can see the face of Phyllis framed in it. Pampered, spoiled, fragile social hound, she thinks that the Boston Tea Party is a coming event. Cleopatra wouldn ' t have been able to make such a clown out of Anthony had Phyllis seen him first, for she knows of all the evasions which go to keep a man in the insane throes of a courtship and impress upon him that if she is not worth the wooing she is not worth the winning. This Sybarite will have innumerable voyages upon the matrimonial sea which will inevi- tably terminate upon the rocks, wrecking any man ' s ship of ideals. To her, divorce is the futurity of marriage. Shades of John Keats come to me. Little did he think his artfully depicted character, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, would live again in 1936. Nor that she would be the recipient of more front-page publicity than the Smith Brothers have secured in forty some years of consistent advertising. But if it weren ' t for this superficial from Page 264) playgirl we would have no gravure sections in the Sunday papers, no triangle murders, and a host of tabloid editors and shyster lawyers would starve. Lest this end in a diatribe upon infamous females, I am reminded that there are good ones. Vhat of our mothers! Certainly they are admirable. But the vast majority of women are those who work out their own fortunes unobtrusively in little provincial homesteads. As the day dies out of the sky, they sit with their husbands and children, where a vine runs over the pali- sades of the manor and grapes grow purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. I have succumbed to the stub- bornness of the pipe and can blow no more smoke rings to aid my philosophizing. The hallucinations are ashes in its coca-cola colored bowl. This gentleman will end his discussion convinced that the Col- onel ' s Lady and Judy O ' Grady are not sisters under the skin and that women are the most incon- sistent compound of obstinacy and self-sacrifice that I am acquainted with. There is as wide a divergence in the types of woman as there is between the warm embrace of a real mother and the frigid kiss of a mother-in-law. In this tragedy of life woman plays the mummers part. Knocking the last gray bits of a healthy smoke upon the top of my desk, I am the perennial bachelor content with his state of celibacy.

He was a gentle- man. He was likable. Ve chatted about Tripolitania, about the recla- mation projects in the American far Vest, and a little about personal aspects of our trip. In all things, Mussolini is vigor- ous. Sensitive by nature, he has plenty of physical courage. He takes pains to show his scorn of danger (in the hope of instilling this atti- tude into his followers). In Fascist headquarters in all parts of Italy are legends, painted on the walls, reminding Black Shirts that A Fascista must never be afraid to die. (It would be interesting to know the total effect of these slo- gans, many of which are heroic in text.) One, in an aerodrome near Tripoli, informed aviators, about to fly, that He who does not fear death will not die. In his recreations, the Dictator is as strenuous as in his work. He plays intensely and dramatically. Aside from his violin, his favorite pastimes for several years of his dic- tatorship were flying his own aero- plane and racing in his automobile. These perilous sports he finally gave up, on the insistence of his colleagues. He is an enthusiastic horseman, boxer, and fencer. He rides an hour nearly every day on one of his six saddle mounts. Mussolini was born in Romagna, in northern Italy. His father was a blacksmith, and Benito s early days were spent helping at the forge. His education in books was super- vised by his mother; his father undertook to tutor him in ways of battling with life. He is said to have been a severe taskmaster. Benito ' s father was a Social Revo- lutionary, and the future dictator was brought up on socialism. Benito became an ardent Red. For a number of years he figured in Italian police records as an undesirable. He was arrested several times. THE MAN Page 311) He fled to Switzerland, where he became an indigent member of the Socialist exile colony. There he met Lenin and other Red leaders then in the Swiss capital. He earned his living as a manual laborer, when he could find work, and studied when he could. Later he wandered through France and Austria. Part of the time he worked as a tramp printer. Returning to Italy, he became a reporter on one of the Socialist papers, finally editor. He broke with the Socialist Party over the issue of Italy entering the War, and enlisted as a private in the Italian army. An interesting feature of this phase of Mussolini ' s life is the fact that despite the phenomenal career he made for himself later, he went through the whole Var without even gaining a lieutenant ' s com- mission. His highest combatant rank was that of a non-com. Mussolini saw action at the front. His fellow soldiers speak of him as an admirable soldier. In Tripoli, I talked with a lieutenant, now serv- ing in the colonial administration who fought alongside him in the trenches. He said Mussolini had been a good comrade and a good trooper. Mussolini was wounded several times, and finally sent to a hospital behind the lines, where one of my Italian friends, then a wounded soldier, often saw and chatted with him. During his convalescence, Mussolini used to hobble around the hospital on crutches. Mussolini resumed his newspaper work after the War. One among scores of other correspondents, he covered the Genoa conference between the Bolsheviki and the Allies for his paper in the spring of 1921. Eighteen months afterward, he became Dictator of Italy.

Serving his apprenticeship under F. Quentin Brown, editor of the first Jayhawker Magazine- Annual, Jim was recognized from the start as one of the most out- standing cartoonists to attend Kan- sas in many years. Then under edi- tors Harris and Chandler in 1Q35 and 1936 Jim continued a valuable and brilliant career, but when he left school at the end of last year it was feared that the Jayhawker would see no more of his inimitable work. But from his office in Minne- apolis came from time to time cylin- drical packages containing more of his fine work, until that sad day when we received the one above. Then we knew that it was all over. But now that Jim has decided that he has done enough work for the Jayhawker, we want to express our appreciation for the magnificent spirit which he has shown, even though many miles away, in provid- ing the magazine with his excellent work this year.

Ve knew it had to concern seniors, but didn ' t know just what we could say about them that hadn t been told before. But Bill Downs came to our rescue with the article on page 339, entitled, for want of a more appropriate one, They Hated To Leave. Downs excellent writing style is well displayed. Other features of especial sig- nificance in this issue are the usual pictorial feature section, and, of course, the year ' s group of beauty queens.

Seniors hold the focus of atten- tion in this issue, and individual photos of the graduates may be found beginning on page 372. Since the senior class is the only one honored by having their pictures published in a class section espe- cial emphasis is laid on the section in this issue.

VOLUME XLIX MAY, 1937 NUMBER 5 PuUished periodically by the student tody of the Unipersily of Kansas under the supervision of the Jayhau-ker Advisory Board. A record of events and personalities, and a renew of campus tremfs and opinions. JAMES H. COLEMAN Editor in Chief JACK TOXV ' SEND Business Manager It ' s been a profitable year for most of the University, and the Jayhawker would like to pause long enough in its flight to look over the improvements which have come to the campus during the past nine months. Probably the most outstanding development of the year was the shakeup and consequent reorgani- zation of the athletic department, culminating in the hiring of Gwinn Henry as athletic director. For the first time in many years the Daily Kansan has a militant, active staff, and it was largely due to its efforts that the change was made. Now we have a new system installed and must await develop- ments. Vhether Mr. Henry can improve the showing of the Kansas football teams, and still maintain the high standards of our basketball teams remains only a matter of con- jecture, and we rather imagine that next football season will be watched with a great deal of inter- est by students, alumni and admin- istration. And Mr. Henry will no doubt suffer some nervous moments during that time, especially if the team shows no improvement at all. Of course there are those who say that no improvement can be expected in one year. That is a logi- cal conclusion for one who knows nothing of the workings of our old system, and it may be quite reason- able. But we suspect that perhaps. we say perhaps, some of the behind- the-scenes intrigue will be absent next year, or at least what intrigue that does exist will be pointed toward producing a better football team, and it is not too much to expect that some results will be evi- dent in the space of a year. Another result of the Kansan ' s activity was evident when the state legislature appropriated enough money, some $75,000 to be exact, for the completion of the repairs to Dyche Museum. That was another example of perseverance in the face of difficulties, but the militant stu- dent paper showed that it had the courage of its convictions and held out for what it conceived to be the rights and wishes of the student body. There is one thing that the Uni- versity needs that it didn ' t get this year, however. That is that popular and oft-requested pastime called tea-dancing. The Jayhawker carried an article in its mid-winter number which we took great pains to pre- sent both sides of the problem. And for the life of us we couldn ' t see anything wrong in it. Admitted that there were perfectly excellent reasons for its abolishment, but again there are several methods possible under which tea-dancing could be granted, still preventing Mr. Werner ' s luna- tic fringe from causing any mis- chief. Of course, we may be mis- taken in believing that the students would appreciate tea-dances if they had them, but from the reports and ihe expressions of sentiment which have come to our ears we think they would. There is something for the Kan- san to work on next year. It could do a great deal with a campaign for tea-dancing, if it could only be con- vinced that the student body- wanted it. And it is up to the stu- dent body to convince the Kansan that it does want tea-dancing. It s been a great year, it seems to us. More improvements have come upon the campus this year than in any in the past five. And with improvements over the Hill we hope that we have presented you with an improved Jayhawker. Just as the political situation seems to be improving in the sense of giving positions to capable men on both sides of the fence, instead of an unnecessarily rigid control by one party as has been the case in Hill politics of the past, so we hope the Jayhawker has given more space to both sides in several senses. Ve hoped to present both sides of the fraternity-non-fraternity setup as well as the political situation, and if we did in some measure fulfill our ambitions we will be satisfied that the year 1936-37 has been a successful one for us as well as you. And so until the Jayhawker flits back next year under new manage- ment, flaunting new garb and new contents, we ' ll bid our adieux. Goodbye and good luck. THEY HATED TO LEAVE , , Nor, shoved at last into the cold world, knew they where to go r 1 HE senior in seat No. 379 gathered his voluminous JL robe about Kim, adjusted the mortar board on his head so that it wouldn t rock dangerously with even- breath, and sweat quietly. A humid sun, the real hot kind that someone always saves for graduation days, soaked into the black robes of the outgoing class and left the inside of each like a Little Dandy gas oven. The senior in seat Xo. 379 wished that he had brought a pan of rolls to set on his lap, for he was sure that by the time the ceremonies were finished, the rolls would have raised beautifully and had a nice crisp crust. But he sat still and kept on sweating and wished that the class memorial had gone for a cooling system for the stadium. For lack of a better name we will call this senior in seat No. 379, J. Vanlandingham Gulp, the Third. As the University band began to play something senti- mental. J. Yanlandingham began to sweat tender thoughts. He thought back how he, J. Vanlandingham Gulp, the Third, had come to college four years ago with a smirk and a Studebaker. How his fraternity, for some reason or other, pledged him, paddled the smirk and helped him wear out the Studebaker. After the automobile broke under the strain, he learned from the dean that he had to put something into his text- books besides his name and managed to do some study- ing the nights before exams. But just now he couldn ' t anymore remember about the studying that he did than he could remember the girls that he had dated. In fact, looking at his college career in retrospect, he found he had studied some, caroused a lot and dated more. His father had been fortunate enough to have enough money to pay the way, and J. Vanlandingham was grateful. In fact, his old man was a good guy who didn ' t give him half as much hell per dollar as was deserved. But J. Vanlandingham Gulp, the Third promised himself that he would make it up somehow. Still, that was the problem; just how he was going to do it, he didn ' t know. So J. Vanlandingham wiped the perspiration from his brow and knocked his mortar board off in the process, causing no end of confusion in his attempts to retrieve it. In seat No. 380, right next to our hero, sat Vesta Waters. Vesta was perspiring right along with the best of them. Of course, she was handling it more effeminately by sponging her upper lip with little pats that failed, somehow, to come off with all the lady-like dignity that she tried to portray. But Vesta was sweat- ing tender thoughts too. She thought that the present scared feeling she had was much the same as the By BILL DOWNS prickly sensation she had when she first entered the University. Then she was just a terrified freshman won- dering whether the money that she had been able to scrape up would last until she could get a job ... and was scared to death that it wouldn ' t. Her first year had been the hardest, learning that she must not think of the other girls with the prettier clothes and the mysterious talk about pledgings to organizations with funny names. So her freshman year was one of dish-washings and bed-makings and floor-scrubbings. At that time, studying had been a leisurely privilege. Her sophomore year was easier because then she was able to get a job with a family which let her live in their home and work for her room and board. And she actually got one date that year with a boy in her economic class. She remembered it very well, because it was her first collegiate social engagement. They had gone to a ten-cent show because he was working his way through, too. and couldn ' t afford to spend any more. Her junior year had been punctuated with three dates and she had come not to mind too much the other girls talking about new parties and new dates and new dresses. She secured an office job that paid 25 cents an hour and her parents had been able to add several dollars a month on the small allowance she received each month so all in all, the junior year was fairly pleasant. But the senior year was magnificent. She still had the good job in the office, had more dates to varsities and things and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and now to top it all off, she was going to get her diploma. Just what she was going to do with it when she got it, was still questionable. But somehow, she was going to make the four years pay dividends. She had tasted lots of things that interested her books, music, art and such somehow she would find out more about them. But just how in hell she was going to do it, she didn ' t know. So J. Vanlandingham Gulp and Vesta Waters sat and quietly sweat sweet, tender thoughts, side by side. J. Vanlandingham noticed her for the first time and whispered, It ' s hot as blazes, isn ' t it? I m melting, she answered. Yeah, but its graduation, he continued, and boy, I ' m really glad to get out. But I ' ll miss the blasted place, in a way. I m glad too. ' Vesta whispered back, but you can t just leave a place after being here for four years and not miss it. (Continued on Page 392) JAYHAWKEk THIS ' N ' THAT ........ The final installment of The Jaywalker s observations UPON its return from the Easter holiday, the body politic found itself squarely confronted with the beginning of the last lap of the college year. The past two months have been beyond a doubt, the busiest and fullest we have seen to date. Finals loom large on the horizon, and we finally settle down to work on that term paper which the prof casually mentioned last February. The various and sundry honorary, profes- sional, social, and miscellaneous organizations have been entertaining with farewell parties, banquets, pic- nics, and beer busts. Everyone, in trying to bring his house into order for the closing of the school year, has been more or less successful in throwing it into a state of confusion. Probably the most commented on event, since last the Jayhawker appeared, was the election of Gwinn Henry as athletic director. The regents have spent a lot of time in trying to bring Kansas out of the Phog, and their final action has been generally approved. While there were doubtless many who favored other candidates, the general concensus of opinion, informed or otherwise, is that Henry is a capable man and if allowed to run his department without interference he can doubtless improve the tenor of the athletic situation. Such Ignoble Deaths By JOHN CHANDLER Impromptu jam sessions characterize music week The Kansas Relays were held according to schedule on April 16th and 17th. We of the herd have a tend- ency to minimize the magnitude and importance of the relays as a factor contributing to the reputation of the University. In athletics, as elsewhere, familiarity breeds contempt. The people of Kansas are truly enthusiastic about the Relays and flock to Lawrence in large num- bers to witness them. The weather for the meet was ideal, and the festivities were charmingly presided over by that fair man-killer, Isabelle Bash, who was installed with all due ceremony as Queen of the Relays. Beyond any doubt the Queen and her attendants would have preferred to spend the afternoon in the quiet seclusion of a cool coke joint to being exposed to the mundane gaze under a beach parasol, but they carried on beauti- fully while the Knights of King Allen ' s court jousted in the arena. Anent the topic of athletics, it has come to the Jay- walker ' s attention that the athletic department has come a-begging for next year ' s athletes. After the proper pressure had been applied in the strategic places, the Pan-Hellenic societies decided, following due delibera- tion, that each house would feed a hungry football player next fall. The whole affair was typical of the fraternity ' s attitude of trying, like an abused dog, to lick the boot that kicks them. Whenever any activity requires money, housing facilities, or organized sup- port, the powers that be turn to the Greek houses which can generally be railroaded into cheerfully feeding the kitty. And yet the Hill authorities are more or less con- stantly conspiring to embarrass, frustrate, and incon- venience the organized houses. The first disturbing influence which heralds the true approach of spring is the annual M. S. C. election. Held this year the week after holidays, the campaign was of necessity short. Both sides claim a victory, the P. S. G. L. ' s electing Don Voorhees president, while the Pachacamacs won the majority of the council posi- tions. Of course, after the usual number of Pachaca- macs are declared ineligible next fall, the balance of power will revert to P. S. G. L. Vhatever criticisms may be made of Pachacamac, the party cannot be said to include many satchel-carriers and Phi Beta Kappas in its ranks. The campaign did not seem so heated and exciting as some of those of yesteryear. The old ballyhoo and chatter have gone, fewer handbills clutter up the campus, no more torchlight parades. Now we have serious-minded, reforming politicians and ladylike elec- tions, but oh, what fun we miss! Chancellor Lindley put on his annual Honor s Con- vocation early in April. On this solemn occasion, various participants in divers worthy lines of endeavor are paraded before the eyes of the herd to the former s great satisfaction and the letter ' s wonderment and admiration. Also the upper ten per cent in scholarship, who constitute the campus brain trust are given due recognition. In most cases they have been so buried in their intellectual pursuits that this is the only chance that they have to become known to their fellow students. The senior class in general congress assembled, the last week in April, upset the apple cart, defied tradi- tion, and dealt the Alumni Association a telling blow by refusing to make the alumni dues a part of the senior assessment. The senior executive committee had planned to recommend the Alumni Association as a part of the senior budget, but the anti-anti spirit was strong and the opposition won. The rank and file of the University population trekked to the fountain and Bricks on April 27th, while the United Front stirred themselves with their own eloquence at the Peace Demonstration. Under pain of being denied the facilities of Hooch Auditorium if they dubbed their pow-wow a strike as in past years, the demonstration was orderly as contrasted to the one last year. There was still plenty of gas, though not of the tear variety. The peace movement, while a most commendable one, tends to have its purposes defeated (ConlinueJ on Page 39T) The Jaywalker casts his gaze on campus happenings JAYHAWKER LAND ' S END An English drama completes the year ' s stage season TO COMPLETE a cycle of plays of widely vary- ing types in the most successful Hill dramatic season in many years, the Kansas Players presented Land ' s End, a three-act English drama, in the first week of April. The four productions this year have varied from grim fantasy, through sophisticated com- edy, to stark melodrama. Yet each has been modern and fresh and imbued with that extra dash that has packed record student audiences into old Fraser Theater. Land ' s End was melodrama, complete with unfaith- ful wife and jealous husband and duels and cars crashing over the cliff on the shore road. It was, how- ever, melodrama in the English manner, wherein lay much of its charm, and wherein also lay an added test of the skill of the Kansas Players. It is not easy for a group of middle western amateurs to reproduce the full flavor of an English scene with English back- ground and English tempo of speech and action. And yet it was accomplished masterfully. From the acid provincialism of Mrs. Newsome to the intense gaity of Tony Morrow, both the general tone and the specific details were exactly what I, a middle-westerner, expected they would be. I mean, we who gain our impression of English life from cartoons or contem- porary novels or from other English plays rather expect certain things. We would feel cheated without them. Ve expect, for example, a crotchety old servant who gossips about the goings-on of the mistress. And we know that somewhere in the course of the action two carefree young lovers, in gay sweaters and fluttering scarfs, will come striding into the room, their cheeks glowing from their brisk turn about the moor, and By ROBERT PEARSON their conversation bubbling with pure abandon. Some- where else a suave, moustached gentleman will lean against the mantle, puffing pensively at his pipe, and reflect aloud about philosophy. To say that all these were in Land ' s End is not to burlesque it; it is rather to praise it, for they were convincing and thoroughly effective in adding flavor. Other subtle bits of back- ground added flavor too: the rather bitter British memories of the Great Var, the ideals of British youth, a glimpse of the rugged spiritual force that won the British Empire beyond the seas. And all this would add charm and distinction to any story. Moreover, Land ' s End was melodrama with a strong basic theme, particularly suited to college audiences. It was a vital, emotional, provocative theme, of youth and its relation to the older generation. The unique thing is that youth was not painted a deep and awful black. For once the immortality and perversion and cruelty were all on the other side. The older generation has made a foul mess of its lives, and the younger is determined to turn away from all this and make their own world decent and fine. The story takes place on two planes. Briefly, on one plane is the sincere, whole- some, and highly idealistic love of Valentine Gal- braith for Tony Morrow. On the lower plane of pas- sions, inhibitions, and extremes is the affair between Valentine ' s mother and one Hugh Gifford in the long- prolonged absence of the rugged, if not actually savage, Mr. Galbraith. Lovely Valentine is the link between the two planes, torn between her hopeful, ideal love for Tony and her disgust with the spectacle of what (Continued on Page 395) Drama in the English manner.

SEMI-ORGANIZED HOUSES , These establishments correct many of the faults of the rooming houses SINCE the founding of the first house five years ago, we find an ever-increasing number of semi- organized houses on the Hill. Four men, dissatisfied with the conditions they found in the ordinary room- ing houses, set out to improve them. After a diligent search they found a suitable housemother and a house adequate to meet their needs. It was agreed that these boys were to fill the house with men of their own selection and that the main portion of the downstairs was to be their domain. Through this arrangement the landlady was assured of a full house each year and the boys were allowed to choose their housemates. These agreements were the basis of a plan which corrected many of the faults that these men had found so apparent in the ordinary rooming house. Then these men started to choose those with whom they wished to share their house. They considered four qualities: fellowship and companionability, schol- arship, activity, and breadth of interest. They attempted to make the house as representative as possible by securing men from every school. Even a fraternity man was a member of this first house. Men from that house were outstanding in many fields. For example, as leaders in politics they were so active that the opposing party leaders called the house a hot-bed of sedition. Following the plans of this first house other houses have been started and the original house has been maintained. At the present there are four such houses on the Hill, housing some 60 men. These houses are at 1200 Tennessee, 1138 Mississippi, 1225 Oread, and 1011 Indiana. Semi-organized houses must necessarily be modest. Elaborate social functions are entirely out of the ques- tion. But through this modesty the cost of living is substantially reduced making it possible for a student of below the average income to live cheaply and yet have a part of the advantages that would result from a more expensive home. The spirit of companionship is highly important to the members. The fellow who lives in the next room is no longer a nonentity who left a ring in the bath tub last Saturday night, or the person who used the phone talking to his girl for an hour when you had an important call to make. This spirit pervades all of the activities of the semi-organized houses. Frequently teams are organized to compete in intramural athletics. Cooperation is always prevalent. Books are loaned and assignments are polished with the help of upper- classmen. Files of notebooks, themes, and quizes are (Continued on Page 394) By STANLEY MARIETTA 1200 TENNESSEE Third Rou-. Raup.

JAYHAWKER A SUCCESSFUL TRACK CLASSIC One American record falls in the Fifteenth Relays By HORACE MASON CC ' T ' HE best Relays of them all was the glowing manner in which JL many persons described the fifteenth annual Kansas Relays held in Memorial Stadium, April 17 before a crowd of 10,000. As the throng moved out of the stadium at the conclusion of the meet, expressions of satisfaction were heard on all sides. Although disappointment had been wide-spread at the defeat of Glenn Cunning- ham by Archie San Romani in the special mile race, this disappoint- ment melted away in the afternoon of outstanding track and field performances which followed. High spot of the afternoon was the javelin throw, featuring Alton Terry, of Hardin-Simmons, the greatest spear-tosser in American history. In a performance which was artistic as well as record-smashing, Terry sent the spectators into ecstacies of delight with long, high, floating heaves. His best throw of the afternoon, 229 feet, 2V4 inches, surpassed by three feet the best toss ever made before by an American and smashed to bits the Relays record of 206 feet, 6V4 inches. The Relays record had been established by John Kuck in 1926 and was by four years the oldest record on the books. The runnerup, Hague of Emporia Teachers also bettered the old mark with a throw of 208 feet, 10 inches. Ranking second only to Terry ' s performance was the work of the Indiana squad. The Hoosiers ran wild, making an almost complete sweep of the relay races and turning in outstanding performances in practically all of them. When the smoke of battle had cleared away Indiana had won the half-mile relay, the mile relay, the two-mile relay, the distance medley relay, the mile team race and the 3,000 meter steeplechase as well. Of the seven university class relays, victory in only two, the 440-yard and sprint medley relays, escaped them and the Hoosiers did not enter the sprint medley. The great Indiana distance trio, Don Lash, Tommy Deckard and Jimmy Smith, showed to fine advantage. Lash, in running the anchor leg on the Hoosier distance medley relay team, ran his mile in 4:12, two seconds faster than the time San Romani made in beating Cun- ningham. Deckard accounted for two of the five records that were broken, as he won the steeplechase and finished first in the mile team race. Deckard traversed the steeplechase course in 9:27 to trim 3.4 seconds from the record he set last year. His time in the mile team race of 4:23.2 was only one-tenth of a second faster than the previous fastest time but it constituted a new record. Smith, probably the greatest Negro distance runner in American history, ran a beautiful three- quarter-mile leg on the distance medley relay team and was also a member of the winning two-mile relay team. In addition to the new Relays records set in the javelin throw, the steeplechase and the mile team race, the marks in the high jump and the shot put were also bettered. Two agile jumpers exceeded the old Upper Left Alton Terry, Hardin-Simmons record in the high jump, Vickerv of Texas and Stevens of Pittsburg javelin star, who set a new American mark.

IT ' LL BE FUN ,,,,,,,, Ws T s 1 7 JAYHAWKER BABES IN MDVIELAND , . , Four Big Six Beauties spend a week in Hollywood CC I ALIGHT Number Five leaving for Los Angeles, -L all aboard, ' cracked the dispatcher through the megaphone at the Kansas City airport. Spectators watching the passengers load saw four excited, pretty girls climb aboard with Hollywood bound plainly visible on their faces. A short time after taking off, one of the beauty debutantes became very interested in the campus below her. This coed was Doris Johnson, one of the four coeds chosen from midwest colleges to be a guest of the Comedians Congress for Choosing Comely Coeds, and that campus she so critically inspected was her own dear alma mater, the University of Kan- sas, where she was victor over 12 other attractive coeds in a contest for this richly-prized trip. She was on her way to meet and visit the screen stars of Hollywood and to have one of the sought-after screen tests. The other coeds accompanying Doris vere: June Fleming, Kansas State College; Katherine Bretch, Oklahoma University; and Mary Fislar, Nebraska University. The plane encountered some rough weather on the trip but nothing exciting happened to the coeds until they landed at Los Angeles. There, upon landing, they were rushed through traffic to Hotel Plaza in Holly- wood with a police escort. From then on the air fairly buzzed with activity about the four campus beauties. At a radio show banquet at which the girls were attendants to the queen of the show, Maurine O ' Con- ner, child actress, they met George Burns, Gracie Allen, Walter Winchell, AI Jolson, Don Ameche, Rubinoff, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Joe Penner, Jack Oakie, and others. Lunch at the Paramount Commissary proved excit- ing when the girls met Marlene Dietrich. Fred Mac- Murray, Martha Raye, Shirley Ross, and the Yacht Club boys. Doris spent a very enjoyable evening on the beach with Tiny Ruffner, radio star. An evening on the beach in California, is always pleasant. The night they visited the Cocoanut Grove, the girls took precedence over the movie stars when intro- duced to the guests by the orchestra leader. Movies are not the only pictures taken in Holly- wood Doris decided, for it seemed that everywhere the girls went there was a photographer taking their pictures. By CHARLES ALEXANDER Everyone knows the thrill of getting an autograph of a prominent person, but few have experienced the thrills that Doris received when attending the dif- ferent radio shows and movie lots where her auto- graph was continually sought for. Maurine O ' C onner, the 14-year-old actress, asked Doris for her autograph at the close of the radio show. Vhen an actress asks for your autograph you have graduated to the top. Radio broadcasts took up a great deal of the visit- ing coeds ' time. At each broadcast they visited they were introduced to the audience before the broadcast. Eddie Cantor, one of the sponsors of the trip had them attend one of his broadcasts as his special guests. They visited Milton Berle ' s Community Sing program and afterwards Mr. Berle took Doris to the Trocadero, bright spot of the movie stars at night. Miss Johnson ' s modesty prevented her from telling us about her chance to get in the movies. Through other reliable sources we learned that Doris was selected for a minor part in the RKO production New Faces starring Joe Penner. Unlike most girls, our coed chose to return to school in preference to having her start in the movies. We were disillusioned in a way, Doris explained, because we found out a lot of tricks of the trade. The film colony was interesting from a close-up but not as romantic as it appears from a distance. While at the Brown Derby the girls met Stan Laural, Isabel! Jewel, John Barrymore, Johnny Green and Harpo Marx. The girls visited the RKO studios to have their screen test which was one of the promised highlight attractions of the trip. Their test was taken in the presence of a number of stars that were working on the movie lot in a production. We didn ' t get nervous about the screen tests, Doris assured us, because we couldn ' t tell just when they were taking the pictures, we just acted natural and talked to each other. On their return trip via a TWA airliner, the coeds entertained the other passengers of the ship with their songs and humor. Doris, Kansas University ' s Alice in Wonderland, after her conquering invasion of Hollywood, is the same demure campus coed with a hello for all her envious acquaintances in spite of experiencing the dreams of girlhood. She is a true Kansas coed. MAY 1937 Doris said, Everytime we turned around they took our pictures, so this is only one of many. Left to right the principals are Mary Fislar, a Chi Omega from Nebraska; Grade Allen, Miss Johnson, K.atherine Bretch, a Pi Phi from Oklahoma; George Bums, and June Fleming, Pi Phi from Kansas State. JAYHAWKER GARDI ;i T 1 Dr. Naismith ' HE clash of steel J_ against steel, sounds of quick footwork, cries of triumph, sudden, star- tled grunts are the varied noises that greets one as he steps into the Robinson gymnasium during the afternoon. He sees a number of people whose faces are covered with black screen masks dancing wildly about attempting to poke swords into each other s bodies. However, a closer inspection reveals that all is not such a senseless bedlam. He observes that they are divided into pairs and are fighting it out with each other. He watches the lightning-like move- ment of their swords, and marvels at the speed. He sees one man lunge forward in a sudden attempt to stick his opponent in the chest. But his opponent is too quick for him, and with a deft turn of the wrist wards off the blade so that it passes harmlessly by his shoulder. He wonders if the blade would pierce hide. Then he notes that each point is wrapped with tape, making it blunt. There must be a world of fun in this game, he thinks. The colorful sport of fencing was introduced into the University by Doctor Naismith in 1898. He came here at that date from Springfield, Illinois, where he had become proficient in swordsmanship. Vith him he brought foils, masks, chest guards, and other necessary equipment in the hope that fencing would be received with interest on the campus. The sport found a ready interest here. It was given brisk attention for several months and many students engaged in it. Finally, the novelty wore off and enthusiasm slowly began to wane. The majority of those who had shown promise with the foil chose other means of recreation. Several years elapsed with little or no interest in the pastime. Shortly after the turn of the century Major Bordeck came to the University and was placed in command of the R.O.T.C. He had spent many years at Annapolis and there had mastered the sport while on the fencing team. Working with Dr. Naismith, he inspired interest among those engaged in the R.O.T.C. work. However, zeal for the sport failed to spread throughout the Uni- versity, and eventually interest again declined. After Major Bordeck ' s departure fencing saw very little activ- ity, although at intermittent periods it was partially revived. Through Dr. Naismith ' s influence, a fencing club was started in 1928 with the idea of attracting more Fencing is gaining wide popularity here after a lapse following its introduction by Dr. Naismith in 1898. By BILL GRANT students to this amusement. The idea failed to gather momentum and the club received only meager atten- tion until Melvin Douglass came and reanimated the sport from its long period of languor. He was a student on the Hill, and well informed on all phases of fencing. With Dr. Naismith, he instituted a new system in the fencing club that is still in effect. The club was divided into three classes: the page, the squire, and the knight. The students were required to show some ability before being admitted to the club. Then from stage to stage from page to squire, and eventually to knight they advanced in accordance with their increasing aptitude. Advancement to a higher class was attained through a rather rigorous examination conducted by Dr. Naismith, one of his assistants, and several of the club members whose skill was regarded highly among the fencers. When a club member graduated from page to squire he was recognized by being awarded an emblem which he could wear on his sweater if he chose. If a squire passed the examinations entitling him to be a knight, he received a small gold pin in addition to the prestige that this class would always offer. A year after Melvin Douglass left, a new fencer appeared on the scene. His name was Paul Raport and working together he and Dr. Naismith kept enthusiasm for the sport alive. Rapoport worked effec- tively in the fencing club and contributed much to the organization. At that time, because of the more than ordinary attention given to fencing, the sport was added to the gymnastic curriculum. Paul ' s brother, Jim Raport, came replacing him. Jim Raport had energetic and aggressive characteristics, and because of these qualities he aroused even more inter- est in this recreation. Acting as Dr. Naismith ' s lieu- tenant, he divided the enrollment and began instruc- ting in the sport. Under a new plan when a student had completed a semester of this work under one or the other of the two teachers, he would, if he had exhibited sufficient promise, be recommended by either Dr. Naismith or Raport for admittance in the fencing club. Then, if he passed successfully the examination conducted by several of the squires and knights, he would become a full-fledged member. Proceeding on an excellent idea, Raport began the development of a fencing team. Acting as coach, he selected men for his team from the fencing club. (Continued on Page 393) KANSAS QUEENS ...... It ' s a ticklish business, but these judges are amply qualified THIS beauty business is a funny thing. It ' s impossi- ble to please everyone and equally impossible to please no one. If a ravishing beauty gets the crown, there is jealousy from the women and admiration from the men. But, if goon No. 1 takes the prize, the women have a laugh and the men holler frameup. Last year in five issues, the Jayhawker featured seventy-five Mount Oread lovelies, though many thought there were not really that many. This year we have refrained from choosing any of the women of charm until now and have narrowed our number down to five. And, in our judgment, there should be no quibbling as to the merit of this selection presented on the fol- lowing pages. The judges were men who see beautiful women constantly and know the features and curves upon which to base their judgment. And, of the one hundred odd pictures submitted, only the fifteen best were sent for final judging to the four Hollywood Paramount Pictures executives. If you are in an agitating mood over any of the five being recognized for their grace, charm, and beauty, let us hasten to remind you that the queens were chosen by pictures, and personality, that much-dis- cussed factor which lends itself so vividly to the beauty of women, had to be omitted in points upon which to judge. Still, the patter, wit, smile, grin, voice, gestures, or any other traits that make you think your favorite should have been selected as Miss Jayhawker, is, after all, not a part of her physical beauty and should be rightly left out in the final analysis. No one man can rightly and dogmatically say who is beautiful and who is not. Even four men are sub- ject to mistake. But, when you get a handsome motion picture star who has wooed upon the silver screen with the best of them; a talent scout who has found the cream of your Hollywood sweethearts; a dance director who has put all the girls of your dreams through the routines; and a director who has flowered a common rose into an American beauty and put them at the task of panning feminine pulchritude, some pure gold nuggets are bound to result. Fred MacMurray, current charmer on the Paramount lot, is one of the four judges who risked his Lawrence popularity in the dangerous task of judging beauties. It has taken MacMurray 29 years to gain for his six foot, three inch handsome body the place it deserves as box office at the nation ' s theatres. His parents, stop- ping only long enough at Kankakee, Illinois, to give Fred a birthplace, were traveling about the country on August 30, 1908. Father MacMurray was a con- By JAMES PORTER cert violinist of some note. It must have been of some concern to papa to see his son turn from the classical to the jazz, for until 1934 MacMurray was earning a living blowing on the saxophone. And for the girls who like brawn with their handsome men, it might be well to add that Fred won ten letters for his athletic prowess in football, baseball, track, and basketball or so the gigantic, stupendous, colossal Hollywood Paramount publicity department tells us. Women have sighed and men have scoffed at fourteen pictures in which this Paramount star has flickered. Four star cinemas among this group are Maid of Salem, The Bride Comes Home, The Texas Rangers, and ' The Princess Comes Across. Man behind the scenes and person who makes you wish your man or woman was more like the dazzling stars of both sexes you see on the screen, is Ted Lesser, head of the Paramount talent department. He is in charge of the scouts who patrol the world in search of new performers for his studio, and makes regular tours himself in search of talent. Lesser is a native of the capital of our nation, and a former New York theatrical producer. Thus, his position makes him a capable person to judge who should reign as Queen on the Kansas campus. William Hebert, propaganda man for Paramount, has made the life story of LeRoy Prinz similar to a novel by Horatio Alger. Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, he ran away from home at fifteen. Shipping on a tramp freighter to Europe he joined the French Foreign Legion. At the outbreak of the World War he enlisted in French aviation corps, and survived fourteen crashes during the hostilities. A souvenir which he always carries with him as a reminder of this period is a silver plate in his skull. After the war he directed dances for the Folies Bergere. In 1921, Prinz flew ammunition for the Mexican rebels. Later on he directed dances in a string of cabarets reputedly owned by AI Capone, in Chicago. While there he was taken for a ride by rival gangsters, severely beaten, had both arms broken and was left for dead. But he revived enough to help judge these beauty queens. The fourth judge and one of the best known and most permanent fixtures on the Hollywood scene is the man who made U. S. movie-goers bathtub conscious: Cecil B. DeMille. Born in 1881, at Ashfield, Massa- chusetts, he ran away from home at an early age to try and enlist in the Spanish-American war, but his youth prevented it. It was in the summer of 1913 that (ContmueJ on Page 392) THE 1937 QUEENS MARY JANE McCD PI BETA PHI MARGUERITE MYERS Kansas City, Mo. KAPPA ALPHA THETA Second Place JEAN WILLIAMS Kansas Citv. Mo.

In all sin- cerity I say that I can appreciate the feelings they must have experienced on that memorable night when they gathered to bid fond farewell to their leader. For it is the lamentable truth that Kansas University is about to lose several of its most revered faculty leaders. Their contributions to the progress of the Uni- versity are legion and cannot be too highly valued. Albeit it would hardly be fitting to publish their eulogies while they still have many years of service to humanity remaining, the loss the school must bear with their parting justifies a laudatory eulogy of some sort. 1 he task of replacing these pioneers is not an easy one. For they are pioneers after all. They nursed a mere college through its adolescence and molded in its stead this great institution of learning they are soon to leave. Theirs was not the sole occupation of teaching ... to them was granted the difficult job of engineering the intellectual construction of a school. The six retiring members comprise a true cross-sec- tion of the personnel of our faculty. From law to athletics, the school s divers departments are well represented ... to the infinite loss of each. The first of the sextet to become associated with the school in a teaching capacity is Olin Templin, professor of philosophy. Born in Camden, Indiana, on December 6, 1865, he came Vest with his family in 1876 and settled in Reno County. His teaching career received its first impetus there when he became a teacher in a small country school. Upon his arrival at Kansas University, he imme- diately became an assistant professor of mathematics. Two years later, in 1886, he married Lena Van Voor- his, a classmate. In the same year he received his A. B. degree from the University, and in 1889, his M. A., after having studied at the University of Gottingen, Germany, and at Berlin University. The year 1893 found him a professor of philosophy and head of the department. The office of Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was offered him in 1903, and he served in this capacity until 1921, when he resigned at his own request to return to his beloved vocation, teaching. Since then he has been professor of logic, ethics, and aesthetics. Professor Templin has by no means limited his abil- ities to teaching. Sent in 1917 to Herbert Hoover to be of temporary assistance during those days of strife, Short biographies of retiring professors his wealth of ingenious ideas soon gained for him the directorship of school and college activity in conjunc- tion with the Federal Food Administration. He retained this important position until 1919, in the meantime having been granted a leave of absence by the University. Aided by Anna McCracken, of the department of philosophy, he wrote a book, A Guide to Thinking, which was published in 1927. This book has been widely read and serves as a basis for study in the various courses in philosophy. Among other things, Professor Templin has served as the head of the Summerfield Scholarship Commit- tee, and at present is secretary of the Endowment Association. He is, indeed, a man who has been of worth to the University, not only directly, as a teacher, but as a national figure. It might be said that the botany department owes its growth, in the main, to Professor V. C. Stevens. He nurtured the department from its earliest beginning, being the chairman from the date of its origin until 1931. His is an achievement of unestimable value in this respect, for he has developed a branch of learning which, faced with seemingly insurmountable barriers in its infancy, has ripened into one of the most valuable branches of the University. A dyed-in-the-wool Kansan from the date of his birth February 21, 1861, he received his entire college education from the University, securing his B. S. degree in 1885 and his M. S. in 1893. Hired as an assistant professor of botany in 1889, he became an associate professor in 1892 and advanced to a professorship in 1899. In addition to his duties as a teacher and as chair- man of a department, Professor Stevens has salvaged time in which to write several textbooks on botany and plant structure. These books mark him as one of the truly great in his individual field. Through them, he has attempted to convey to the students his inter- pretation of his courses, stressing what he considers the more fundamental essentials, thus proving to be not only a teacher, but also one interested in the welfare of the student. Perhaps the one man who literally may be said to have grown with the school is E. M. Hopkins, professor of English. He was manager and coach of the first football team of the University, its first teacher of journalism, and instituted the first course in teacher training in English. One of his most valuable achieve- OUTSTANDING TEACHERS who have helped make Kansas famous By FRED LrrrooY ments was the reorganization of the Kansan as a reg- ular news weekly on the ame general principles followed at the present. Born at Kent. New York, on September 16. 1862, he received his A. B. degree from Princeton in 1888 and held a fellowship in 1889. The enterprising Prince- tonian then came to Kansas University, working his way as an organist while further pursuing his studies. He was awarded his A. M. degree here in 1890 and his Ph. D. in 1894. One of a group which met in Chicago in 1911 and founded the National Council of Teachers of English and the English Journal, he returned to Kansas and organized the Kansas Association of Teachers of English of which he was the first president. Further, he instigated the publication of the Kansas English Bulletin. Never content to remain inactive, he origi- nated the Quill Club, which, in 1911. was nationalized and now exists as the American Co llege Quill Club. V regards his feelings on completing a teaching career of 47 years duration. Professor Hopkins said, If after all these years I dared call myself a teacher, I should feel that I had reached the end of my highest ambition. I have enough unfinished work on hand to keep me busy another lifetime. It is because of such men as this that progress has been so evident in the University ' s history. I want to leave the world a better place than I found it. This, in essence, is the motto adopted by Dr. James Naismith at the beginning of his teaching career, and is typical of the man vho is probably the most widely-known character Kansas University has ever possessed. In October, 1891, while an instructor of physical education at Springfield College, he invented a sporting classic . . . basketball. Since that time. Dr. Naismith has grown to enjoy a universal prominence, not only because he is the father of one of our most popular sports, but also because of his admirable personal characteristics. A foreigner by birth, he vas born in Almont. Can- ada, in 1861. From 1887-1890. he attended the Pres- byterian College Seminary at Montreal. Canada. Mov- ing next to Springfield College, he left there in 1891 in favor of the medical school at Denver, Colorado. While there, he was awarded his Doctor ' s and Mas- ter ' s degrees. He came to Kansas in 1898 as a professor of physical education. Married in 1894, he is the father of five children and twelve grandchildren. On the fourth day of last March, he was bereft of his wife, who died after a critical illness. During the World War. Dr. Naismith served as a Y.M.C.A. physical education worker in social hygiene in France. An ordained member of the Presbyterian church, he said, The reason I left the ministry was that I felt that there was an opportunity to use athletics for the betterment of humanity. Perhaps the highlight of his brilliant career came when he and his wife were sent to the Olympic games last summer through collections donated by American basketball fans in appreciation of the sport he fathered. While in Berlin, he was elected honorary president of the International Federation of Basketball Leagues; a fitting tribute to a worthy recipient. In Dr. William L. Burdick, the University loses not only a professor of law, but also the Dean of the School of Law and the vice-president of the Uni- versity-. His public activities and editing of books have made him invaluable in practice as well as theory. Dean Burdick was born in East Greenwich , Rhode Island. March 22, 1860, and educated in the public schools of that city. After receiving his A. B. and M. A. degrees from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, he gained his Ph. D. from Chattanooga in 1884. It was in 1898 from Yale University- that he obtained his LL. B. Prior to this time, he had served as principal of Fargo College in North Dakota and as an instructor at the University of Colorado. In 1898 he came to Kansas, where he has served as professor of law and as vice-president of the University since 1916. Appointed acting Dean of the Law School in September. 1934, he became the head on May 6, 1935. The public offices he has at some time or other occupied are many. Commissioner of Uniform State Laws, Civil Service Commissioner of Kansas, reviser of United States Statutes, a duty which he performs annually, are only a few of the more important services he has rendered to his state and country. He has also published several books on such legal subjects as real property, domestic relations, and sales. In June. 1932. Dr. Burdick and his wife started on a trip around the world, in the course of which he visited law schools and courts of twenty foreign coun- tries in a year ' s time. Truly, a man of the world!

Coleman, Editor-in-Chief IT IS with a sigh of very real regret that I see the final issue of the Jayhawker go on the press. Natur- ally enough, there is also a little relief in that sigh, but it is the type of relief that comes at the end of a clay ' s work, the kind of relief felt by a graduating senior, who Boo Pearson Bill Grant By JAMES H. COLEMAN is rather glad to see the end of his college work, but at the same time realizes that he is going to miss the familiar scenes and the enjoyable relationships. This year has been enjoyable and profitable to me, and my only hope is that through the Jayhawker some Kansas students have gained a corresponding profit and enjoyment. It has been my intention throughout the year to publish a Jayhawker which you, whetheryou be senior or freshman, will find equally enjoyable and pertinent as the years go by. The Jayhawker has always been an annual. Even in its new form it remains an annual in spirit, and I have tried this year to make it an annual in fact. It is intended to be kept as a memento and a reminder of the school year of 1936-37, and I trust that it will be. My secondary aim in this year ' s magazine has been to see as many student faces appearing through the pages of the Jayhawker as possible. Vith that idea in view I inaugurated the pictorial feature section which has proven so popular. I believe that the only possible explanation of its popularity lies in the fact that it enabled more and more students to see their faces in picture, and in the fact that through it I was able to give a far more realistic and vivid portrayal of Kansas University life. I only hope that the Jayhawker in the future will continue in the same vein, for it is the students ' magazine and they should furnish its material. I am looking forward with great anticipation to the Jayhawker of next year. I believe that in Bob Pearson the magazine has one of the most capable and out- standing editors in its history and I am certain that next year ' s publication will reflect his ingenuity, his ability and his able grasp of the significance of Hill happenings. Throughout this year Bob has been of (Continued on Page 396) Fred Littooy Virgil Mitchell Marion Springer Jane Blaney Thanks to those who have made this Jayhawker possible By JACK TOWNSEND AS THIS issue comes off tke press, the fourth Jayhawker Magazine Annual has been compl eted. Ve sincerely hope that our obligation to those stu- dents who purchased subscrfptions last fall has been satisfactorily fulfilled. We have done our best to make them feel that their money was well invested. The Jayhawker this year has been subject to much, and perhaps due, criticism because of its sales pol- icy. To those with whom we may have differed, may I say that the editor and I have tried hard to give the students as much Jayhawker as we possibly could and stay within our means. Only through the sale of sub- scriptions which guarantee a working capital is such an enterprise possible. If we have offended or incon- venienced anyone, we are sincerely sorry. It is our sincere belief that every student should have a Jayhawker. The success, financially, of this year s magazine, is entirely due to the fine cooperation I have received in every undertaking. I have been fortunate in having not one or two, but five capable and dependable assistants. They have been constantly o n hand to help in every way possible. In addition, the office staff this year has been especially active and dependable. For the first time, the Jayhawker magazine has had a circulation manager, Jane Blaney. Jane has supervised the mailing of the magazine to out-of-town subscribers and to advertisers. Assisting her, John Green and Marianna Bantleon have done an excellent job in keeping our subscription card index in order. The five assistants whom I previously mentioned and to whom I am truly indebted are Bill Seitz, Bob Rohde, Lawrence Birney, Tom Bowlus, and Orin Armstrong. It was a hard job to determine which one I should recommend to take over my position next year. They are all capable, dependable, and willing. Bill Seitz, the newly-elected business manager, has Jack Tou ' nsend, Business Manager worked hard as a business assistant for two years. He is a dogged worker, attacking each problem carefully and energetically. His results are a tribute to his abil- ity. If hard work will do it, I am sure that next year s magazine will be a financial success.

It was founded in 1910 by twelve upperclassmen, and since that time has become and remained the most distinctive class society at the Uni- versity. 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 particular 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 achievement 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. Martin Maloney Bob Thorpe MDRTAR BOARD MORTAR BOARD is a national honorary society for outstanding senior women. Its mem- bers are chosen in the spring of their junior year by the previous year s members, assisted by the Faculty advisers. The organization appeared first on the Kansas campus in 1912, as the Torch Society for senior women. In 1924 it became affiliated with the national organization of Mortar Board. Service to the University, the advancement of scholarship, cooperation with the faculty, and loyal support to every worthy activ- ity constitute the fundamental pur- poses of the organization. This year its service program embodied three main principles: 1.

U. just two years after it dropped out of the stock market. The possibility that it might have been the same bottom is questionable. The reason handed down for the fail- ure of baseball to survive after 1931 was financial, but according to accounts of the 1931 games the games were poorly attended and the interest shown by the few spectators was not what the present day Jayhawker coaches would call adequate. The 1931 season was not such a failure in other respects as the team coached by Player-Manager Tom Bishop won four out of nine conference games and ended in fourth place. The team played consistent baseball and in one game had enough punch to beat Eldon Auker, of Kansas State, now with the Detroit Tigers, 22-16. Auker, who had beaten the Jayhawkers once before that season, didn ' t stay to see the finish of this one. Since the time in 1879 when the University shut out the Lawrence town team 9-0, up to the final game in 1931 the Jayhawkers have met 70 different teams on the baseball diamond. The records show 328 vic- tories against 221 losses and an average run total of 6.8 to the opponents ' 5.4. Against Big Six teams Kansas has won 144 games and lost 108. Among the teams Kansas has faced on the diamond are Chinese University whom they lost two games to in 1913, the Galveston League stars who trounced the Jayhawks twice in 1906, Honolulu, who took a two- game series in 1914; and the Kansas City Blues whom Kansas trounced twice in 1900, once to the tune of 25-10. (The same old Blues.) When agitation was started for a team this year, baseball followers were afraid it would turn out as A revival of the nation ' s sport here jinds spirit high By WILLIAM FITZGERALD previous attempts had. However the ' Committee of Three decided to carry out their original plan, prob- ably not guessing at the tremendous enthusiasm with which the sport would be received. Perhaps they fig- ured the students should be given something to use their activity books for. At any rate they found the student body wasn ' t as dead as it was feared they were last fall. Ad Lindsey was selected as coach, but due to spring football, was forced to turn the active coaching over to Francis Kappelman, former Jayhawk athlete, now a professional baseball player, and Ole Nesmith, former football star. Kappelman lost no time in issuing a call for players and fashioned a team out of the sixty men reporting. Rockhurst had too much power for the comparatively green Kansas team, and Pat Mason ' s club of former Ban Johnson stars led all the way, winning 16-10. It was apparent that the pitching was the weak link in the Kansas chain, and Coaches Kappelman and Nesmith began working frantically on their staff in preparation for the Iowa State series April 15 and 16. Iowa State took the first game 12-11 after a great Kansas rally produced five runs in the ninth and tied the score. Roark was charged with losing the game in the tenth although Barney Anderson started the game. Kloppenberg who pitched six innings showed the best form for Kansas by allowing only seven hits. Pralle and Ferrel Anderson led the Kansas hitters. The sec- ond game of the series was evidently played in the (Continue d on Page 401) The 1937 Diamond Crew SOME HAVE DUTIES ,,,,,, The senior class heads actually have a job to perform President Bob Childs CLASS officers may be in the background most of the time and may be mere ornaments i n reception lines some of the time, but you can fit the senior class officers into no such uninteresting pattern. Theirs is the task of biting nails and knit- ting brows over the nature of the memorial to be left on the campus by the class of ' 37, whether it shall be air conditioning of the Memorial Union ballroom, establishment of a scholarship fund for worthy students, or a tidy sum toward building bigger and better dioramas for Dyche Museum. If the air conditioners win out and it seems likely at this writing that they will the writer will utter a loud Amen. And the remaining several hundred dollars of senior class money from the fund built up with class contributions, Cakewalk proceeds and profit from senior invitations, would construct about three of those mas- terpieces similar in theme to those now housed in Dyche. One of the more important subjects which comes up for consideration each year is the amount of the assess- ment to be levied on each member of the class. This assessment includes the cost of using a cap and grown at graduation ceremonies, cost of the senior class breakfast, and other expenses incidental to graduation. By DORIS KENT Also food for thought is the problem of effecting a smoothly run senior breakfast. Evidence that Commencement with all of its com- plexities has not come upon us unannoun ced was dem- onstrated when Bob Chiles, president of the class of 37, hustled out his Commencement Day committees while the snow was on the ground, on February 9. The Committee for Invitations set to work immediately accepting bids for engraving the invitations. Two meet- ings of the various committees in February got plans off to a good start. The senior class breakfast is all but in the skillet. The program will run something like this the Chancellor will speak, you will hear your doom read in the Class Prophecy 7 (memories of high school graduation days cannot help but pop up here), the senior pipe of peace will be smoked and each member of the class will go home content with his own little souvenir pipe identified by ' 37. Carl Smith and Georgia Whitford. committee on class history, plan to review our past at this breakfast session. Senior dance managers Bill Toxvnsley and Ed Arns- berger merit an A plus for their work in bringing Bob Crosby and his Dixieland band to the campus for the Cakewalk. And so we pause, having given you just a glimpse of what is going on back of the footlights, where the class of ' 37 will shortly take its farewell bow but not without first giving you the names of the other class officers participating in Commencement week arrangements: Class officers: Ruth Armstrong, vice-president; Bill Hampton, secretary; Ruth Esther Purdv, treasurer.

Mary Rutter Editor-in-Chief THE K BDDK Delmar Branson Business Manager THE K Book is the official handbook of the Uni- versity of Kansas, approved by the registrar as the official guide and aid to registration and enrollment. For forty-eight 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 officers of all student organizations. A calendar which may serve as a date- book announces all the important events of the school year. Published originally by the Y. W. C. A., this book has become the product of the Christian Association cooperating with the Men ' s Student Council, the V. 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 University it is now one hundred and twenty pages in length. Because in the past it was found impossible to pro- vide 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 opportunity to possess one and use it as a memento of their school year. The staff of the 1937-38 K Book is composed of Dorothea Weingartner and Marion Goehring, assistant editors; Richard White, advertising manager, and Alan Asher and Morris Thompson, assistants. The Old Disc slows down and gives up for the year WT HE time has come, she said, when we must J- take the bull by the tail and face the situation. And so ' tis. For the last time do we stick our nose into this social business and with one final, fleeting sum- mary, depart for a summer of rest and play. It is no lie when we say that the springtime vocation of the campus, frying steaks in the spring as they say, really took a toe-hold this spring. In fact, housemothers in the various lodges think nothing of it anymore vhen only one-half the chapter shows up for dinner. The Kappa Kids started it all out when they inau- gurated a pledge picnic early in the spring. Anyway they told the Dean it was a picnic; however in reality it was one of those glorified blanket affairs. The Kappa Sig pledges treated their ladies fair to a moonlight hayrack ride and the Phi Psis followed up with another pledge class picnic . They may only be freshmen, but looks like it s been a good year. For some reason the Men ' s Pan-Hel decided to import an orchestra for their spring dance and this welcomed innovation provided a pleasant interlude from the accustomed swing which has been so pre- By KEITH SWINEHART valent all year. Leonard Kellar was the maestro and his singing violin proved popular indeed. For once, the Union was well lighted with the different Greek badges blazing in lights in all corners. This was an attractive added feature and seldom seen on the Hill. The lights usually are so dim that one has trouble finding one ' s date, doesn ' t one? The next night, April 3, pledges of the various sororities got together in what was to be a get better acquainted party. They called it a Left Over in that the decorations were made up of the odds, ends, and remnants of other parties, homecomings and the like. Boys were asked by the girls, with no stags allowed until intermission. Red Blackburn played master of ceremonies as well as band leader, calling out the different dances on the program 11 broom dances, sucker dances, gum dances, a circle dance, and several date dances made up the repertoire. The gals are to be commended on their ingenuity on the idea, the invitations, the decorations and the fine party. The R.O.T.C. soldier boys called a meeting in the ballroom Friday, April 9, a band was imported and girls attended the drill, so they called it the Military Ball. Some say it was good some say ' twas bad some won ' t talk. Now you take me, I don t care I didn ' t go. Paris in Spring was what the Gamma Phis called their spring dance. This was the first party ever staged by the G.P. ' s outside their bandbox on West Campus. Flowers, Paris creations, and sidewalk cafes were fea- tured in the decorations. Everyone was happy, even Mary K. Dorman, who was escorted by John Grist, the boy who made her the Engine Queen. It was just about now that Doris Johnson was offered a six-day airplane trip to Hollywood for being so beautiful. She reported a fine time except that she couldn ' t accept the offer of a part in a forthcoming movie. Saturday, April 17, the Kappa Sigs, Sig Alphs, and the Sigma Alpha Mus all had rush parties. Black- burn and Kuhn dashed back and forth between the Kap Sig and Sig Owlph houses and Red later accompanied the Sig Alphs on their serenade. The Kap Sigs impressed their rushees during the evening by the presence of Archie San Romina. conqueror of Glenn Cunningham at the Relays during the after- noon. Well, we all have to have some sort of method of impression these days, so let dog eat dog. The Delts, the D.U. ' s, and the Phi Psi ' s danced on April 23. We understand the Phi Psi ' s threw a real one at the Union. The decorations were elaborate, also, with red carnations woven into lattice work al the east and west partitions on the floor. Next night saw another barrage of parties with Sigma Nu. A.T.O., Triangle, Watkins Hall and Alpha Chi ' s all vying for honors. Parties, parties, parties the Theta carnival with Ray Laughlin from Kansas City, Missouri at the helm. The Kite girls reportedly enjoyed the genteel music for a change and the evening was complete when Dorothy Fritz sang Star Dust and I Can ' t Give You Anything But Love. The Sig Eps, the Phi Delts, Pi K A ' s and the Sigma Kappas partied on the week of May 1. Even Bennie McGuire was able to get a late date to attend the Delta Chi party on the same date. The other day an old friend came barging into town and wanted to write up the account of the Chi Omega party there was method in his madness, for he was a thwarted lover in fact, he came all the way from Minneapolis and didn ' t even get invited to the party. Here ' s the report he left on my desk Dear Swinehart: Vell I guess I must report the afiair that took place on May the seventh at the Chi Omega house at the end of the campus. 1 must say that the least Purdy and the gals could have done was to invite the guy that has to bat this stuff out so that he could write a nice story about them at their spring carnival. Know- ing the parly from years past when Baskett took along a bottle of stuff and fixed the punch so that all the punch putter-outters were reeling from intoxication, I can well say at this point that the girls always throw a fine brawl. As I sit here thinking about all the fun Cochrane is having with the date he fell heir to because Blackburn had to play for said party, I almost wish I were there, especially if I could get the breaks that the little guy with curly hair is getting (including the corsage that was thrown in by Red (Puss) Black- burn). I imagine the house was decorated as best they could do with their front room and dining room but the only description I can give you that would be near correct is that they must have had that mechanical fountain that has made all the parties in the past four years. I imagine you are waiting breathlessly to hear what I am going to say about what the girls were wear- ing well, all I can say is that the long dresses were lovely, especially the flowered taffeta formal with tucks and tufts just below the bodice that Hilda Slentz, box 165, in Great Bend, Kansas, wore. Although this party was supposed to portray heaven with all the stars shin- ing through the blue, little Beverly was dolled out in a tricky black and white formal that was a honey. This is as far as we go at the Chi Omega party and your correspondent sat home having one h of a swell time. Yours, Jim One of the most successful parties in Hill dance history came off after several postponements on May 21 when Bill Cochrane managed to get Bob Crosby ' s famous Dixieland band for the Senior Cakewalk. It was indeed a fitting and efficient conclusion to a year s social doings. It ' s been a fine year ... a little rushed for time every issue, with the editor screaming for copy. Of course, it hasn ' t been such good copy, and it has been a trifle colored at times, but look at the Sour Owl, and some- times people read that. And look at the Shin column in the Kansan, even I read that when I get through with the classified ad section. So maybe someone has followed this effort at times. Maybe next year, some enterprising young lad will make a fresh start and really go to town, but that ' s neither here nor there, I ' m through. JAYHAWKER SENIORS!!

We hope that you will join the ranks of the hundreds of other successful grads who have continued as OBER customers for the past thirty-five years. The riot of color on the campus these days is not all the result of dandelions punctuating the back- ground of green of the lawns, for an eye on men ' s clothes shows plainly that they have their share. Tops as to colorfulness, we think, will have to go to Bob Corey for his combination of brown sport coat worn with those yellow-cream slacks. The combination was com- pleted with a magenta button-down shirt, brown broad-striped tie and brown and white two-tone shoes. Not far behind is Bill Muchnic whose new sport coat of forest green goes very well as a blend with the color of his car, whether intentional or not, I can ' t say. Nevertheless Bill uses this coat in a lot of snappy color combinations with various old slacks. At least a runner-up, we see Seth Gray of the Phi Psi lodge with a white sport coat bold-checked in brown, worn with rust-colored flannel slacks. The ensemble is completed with accessories of tan and green. At the Kappa party. Bill Mackie of Phi Gamma Delta and street car fame carried off the honors of the evening in a white double-breasted gabardine coat, grey chalk stripe gabardine slacks, two-tone brown and white wing-tipped shoes, and a blue silk foulard tie on a white shirt. Midge Townsley, Phi Delt. cir- culates in one of the new shetland sport coats, single-breasted with bi-swing back. The color is light tan and matches well with any of the several pairs of slacks which Bill chooses to wear with it. The trend toward white for both formal and informal wear was highly emphasized at the intra- fraternity sing a couple of Sundays back. Several of the lodges appeared in all white, while others in the competition wore white coats and black trousers. The competition out at the Delta Chi house for dressing honors was sharpened with the purchase by Lawrence Birney of one of the new hounds-tooth checked suits in a grey-green, single-breasted and plain back. Harry Reitz added four- teen new polo shirts to his already bulging wardrobe, so claims top honors. Fred Lake of the Sigma Nu boys runs his own race with Keith Deay for honors at the country estate. Some of the boys in the know claim that Deay ' s penchant for bow ties is a bit of handicap but desiring to remain neutral we will not venture an opinion. At the Delt house Bob Winslow is sporting a new shark skin in the popular grey - green background color, with an overplaid of reddish grey. This is a full drape, single- breasted model, with plain back and fits like the paper on the wall. Bruce Voran chose a double- breasted gabardine, blue-green, with a wide chalk stripe. Frank Varren, up Phi Delt way, has one of the several new Burma Tan summer tux coats around the Hill. For fall we think that shark skins will bear considerable thought and should easily be the top ranking fabric. Twisted fabrics of similar type will run a close second. Colors will be more of the new pastel shades and combinations which are definitely on the way in. Drape models will still be in the vanguard, but there will remain the predomi- nance of sportbacks for less formal wear. Shirts will retain their color, and the stripes so popular now will be even more predominant. dance in pique ... White pique, a-bloom with gay poppies, and perked with old-fashioned rick- rack.

The sailor hats with long ribbons are really deserving of their popularity they make you look about ten years old and very naive and it s such fun to fool the public! Dorothy Fritz, a very smart gal who knows the value of hats and has the courage to wear them at this practically hatless insti- tution, has two new ones that com- bine the best features of the spring styles. One is a large black straw whose round, full brim sits on the back of the head and is trimmed with the ever-present streamers. (By the way, in grandmother s day these streamers were known as follow- me-boys. ) The other hat is of soft, cornelian colored straw in tricorn design, trimmed with yards and yards of alternating powder-blue and cornelian chiffon. The social season is at its best here in the spring and the women on the campus are donning their festive best. Jean Bailey, Kappa, has a new formal in the perennial black and white. This black chiffon dress features a full skirt with white circular appliques of batiste around the hem.

' But it hasn ' t all been easy . . . college hasn ' t been all the fun that they tell you about, he said think- ing about all the beatings he had received while a pledge, and the number of times that he had been in to see the dean about his grades and other things. No, it hasn ' t all been easy, Vesta answered, thinking of the piles of dishes and the mussed beds and the squalling brats that had paid for her food and bed. So all the Vanlandinghams and Vestas stood up in their baking black robes and got their diplomas. The white, spherical tubes repre- sented an expenditure of from four to eight years time and from $3,000 to $12,000 per capita in very, very cold cash. They represented things that are eulogized by phrases like the spirit of education and alma mater. With some went a knowledge of how to g et along with the world, with some went a knowledge of how to get along at the expense of the world. But the question that puzzled the minds of all the Vanlandinghams and Vestas was not the time, money or eulogies what they wanted to know was just what was to happen next. FAREWELL TO SIX OUTSTANDING TEACHERS (Continued from Page 363) Helleberg, professor of sociology, who came to Kansas University in 1910. He received his A. B. degree from Yale and his LL. B. from the University of Cincinnati. After receiving the latter degree, Professor Helleberg devoted his time to the practice of law for ten years. The following ten years found him engaged in the commer- cial business of photo-engraving, after which he pursued advanced study in sociology at the University of Chicago for four years and sub- sequently taught there for one year. He is deeply interested in the development of sociology and has greatly furthered its value and more clearly defined its purposes during his years of teaching at the University. Although engaged in writing a book at the present time in addition to his teaching activities, he still finds time to enjoy fine music. Although it could hardly be termed a hobby with him, he derives a great deal of pleasure and relax- ation from it. And so it is only too apparent what a great loss Kansas University is to suffer upon the retirement of this distinguished group of men. Their prominence is not merely local; it is nation-wide and even world-wide in its scope. That their loss will be deeply felt cannot be doubted. Through their years of service to the University they have furnished a peak in its history that will forever stand out. KANSAS QUEENS (Continued from Page 349) DeMille entered the motion picture business and produced and directed the first full-length feature in the world: The Squaw Man, with Dustin Farnum. Since then, he has directed sixty-one celluloids includ- ing such spectacles as The King of Kings, The Ten Com- mandments, and The Plains- man. His twenty-four years in association with the beautiful women of the world during that time gives him ample endorsement as a judge. WOMEN ' S FASHIONS (CTontinuea from straight, low neckline with dainty, narrow straps. Vogue has recently been featuring a new short eve- ning dress but this style is so dar- ing that few attempt to wear it. However, Mary De Pew, Alpha Chi, has ventured forth in one and it is astonishingly attractive. This white figured silk is about mid-calf and very plain in front while the back is full and long. The neckline is cut in v-shape. There is an indispensable item in every girl ' s wardrobe and that is a dark dress or suit which can be worn for any occasion whether dress or sport. Of this type is Eleanor Cain ' s suit dress in navy and white, which has been in evi- dence at the Kappa house lately. Over the dark dress she wears a snug-fitting jacket in polka dot with wide revers in navy. Vith this out- fit she wears a smart, round navy sailor hat with long streamers. Mary Markham, Gamma Phi. has chosen a black dress of this type which accentuates her lovely hair. The dress is very severe with straight lines displaying the stylish bolero jacket with its white appliques to best advantage. Several issues ago I was howling for more originality and spice in choice of dresses and color com- binations and today I saw some- thing that really was new and dif- Page 39 If ferent, pleasing me greatly, as you can well imagine. Can you imagine a flaming redhead in this new soft raspberry shade known as thistle? Well, it works, and Ellen Dungan was the one to have nerve enough to try it. In contrast to her hair, she wears this soft chiffon dress, in shirt-waist style but with a full, tucked shirt. The dress has a linen collar embroidered in a darker, almost purple, shade. This color, by the way, has proved to be very popular and Sally Jo Dempsey has chosen a good-looking swagger suit of light w-ool in this shade. With the tailored skirt and full English swagger coat she wisely wears sweaters of complimentary colors. This is the last of the fashion columns for this year and I am sin- cerely sorry in several ways. There is a large group of smartly dressed women on this campus, many of whom deserve mention, but time and space have alloted only a limited number to each issue. How- ever, a personal contact, a reaction to this column, is lacking, which makes it difficult to give an ani- mated account of who is wearing what. Next year I hope that the author of this fashion review can instigate some sort of contest for the best-dressed woman or some- thing in some way establish a contact with the reader. EN GARDE! IConlinueJ rom Page 34| Through his coaching they attained both occasions. Anothe new heights in skill. Seeking to test the ability of his team with the team of another school, he scheduled a formal tournament for the spring of 1Q55 with the team of the University of Wichita. Kan- sas won the engagement. Another match was scheduled later that spring with the University of Mis- souri. Again Kansas emerged as the victor. This fall two formal engagements were fought with the Kansas City Y.M.C.A. fencing team. Kansas was triumphant on match scheduled this fall with the Heart of America team and staged in Kansas City ended in a draw. Still another tournament was set this fall with the University 7 of Kansas City, but it w T as postponed until later in the year. It is the present plan of the coach to climax all the matches fought this year with a Missouri Valley Tournament. Schools and fencing organizations throughout the entire Missouri val- ley would compete in this tourney. Keep Cool in Cottons from Weavers What ' s new at Nanette ' s? Sheers! Cottons! Pastel Silks!

He completed a busy day by also capturing the discus throw, but his throws fell short of the record in this event. The special mile race between those two great sons of Kansas, Glenn Cunningham and Archie San Roman!, was disappointing to most of the fans who were pulling for the veteran Cunningham to win. It was San Romani ' s day however and he romped home the winner by about 8 yards in 4:14.1. The two outstanding milers ran a blazing third quarter, completing it in only a fraction of a second over 60 seconds flat, but the dam- age had already been done. The first half mile was run in the poor time of 2:14 and although the friendly rivals ran a great second i Page 344) half, making it in two minutes flat, the time for the race was mediocre. All in all, the Jayhawker track- sters did well. Don Bird, sophomore pole vaulter, won his event with a vault of 13 feet, 6 inches and his senior teammate, Ray Noble, was second at 13 feet even. The sprint relay team composed of Forrest Hardacre, Harry ViIes, Lloyd Foy and Jack Richardson was second in the 880-yard relay and third in the 440-yard relay. The mile relay team of Foy, ViIes, Richardson and Gordon Guise, finished fourth in a fast field. Chester Friedland, sophomore putter, qualified for the finals in that event, with a throw of 46 feet, 7 inches, although he failed to place, finishing fifth. Fen Durand, sophomore javelin thrower, got off a toss of better than 1Q5 feet, but fouled on the throw. SEMI-ORGANIZED HOUSES (ConliniW as complete as the years can make them. Even trie candy store is oper- ated on a co-op basis at 1200 Tennessee. The restriction upon the members are generally few and self-imposed. The housemother has practically nothing to say about what they are. In general, the seniors by tacit agreement rule the house. In some cases a man, known as pop, is elected from the group to sit at the head of the table to keep the situa- tion under control and be the chief glad-hander for the house. He may take care of any differences that come up between individual mem- bers of the house and settle any disputes with the housemother. The freshmen find that they have menial tasks to perform such as answering the telephone and submitting to a bit of hazing. It may appear that these boys are either bookworms or activity hounds but neither term is entirely appli- cable. Every attempt is made to from Page 343) keep a well-rounded program vary- ing from athletics to scholarship. The scholastic average is generally about 2.5 to 2.2. The extra-curric- ular activities of the members of the house are numerous, and a house that can t boast a five-key man is doing poorly. But still they are just fellas. Bull sessions are ever eminent and they range from dis- cussion of religion to arguments about who is the most beautiful girl on the campus. The slow but sure extension of semi-organized houses is proof of their need and desirability in the University organization. They attempt to combine the good points of social and professional fra- ternities with the freedom and individuality of the unaffiliated stu- dent. There is a sense of security and a feeling of well-being among the members of the house. They feel that they have a home at the Uni- versity which is adequate for their needs and desires. LAND ' S END (Continued from Page 342) her mother ' s love has turned into. The resulting conflict is strong, compelling drama. It is, however, presented with typical English sto- lidity. Many long, well-wrought speeches concerning conflicting philosophies occur at the ' first of the play. The participants in the moral and emotional struggle do not hesitate to stop and consider the abstract implications of the actions. But the story reaches a swift and stirring climax early in the second act with the return of Hector Gal- braith, a quarrel, and his murder by his wife. From then on the action revolves about the discovery of the murder by the children and their reaction. The suspense in Land ' s End was perhaps its most memorable feature. The constant and almost fearful build-up for Hector Galbraith ' s entrance, first by means of repeated and guarded remarks and finally by a raging storm, was tremendously effective. Even more full of suspense was the withholding of the outcome of the story, the climax of the last scene. In a play calling for only five main characters and only seven charac- ters in all, each actor must be care- fully chosen for his talent and expe- rience, and it is almost impossible to draw distinctions as to worth of performance. Martin Maloney, as the mighty, stormy Hector Gal- braith, had the responsibility both of fulfilling a carefully built-up expectation and of portraying a strange and immensely powerful character in a single appearance. He accomplished both to perfec- tion. Allen Crafton, as Hugh Gif- ford, played the extremely unsym- pathetic part of a moral weakling and home-wrecker. The student audience laughed outright at some of his most dramatic speeches, but that was really a tribute. He played so well his role of an uninspiring and none-too-dashing lover that when he was forced to engage in mock heroics the effect was rightly laughable. Leighton Fossey as the crass and shallow young luxury- loving, easy-chair Communist almost stole the show with his ease and skill in delivering his comedy lines. RoIIa Nuckles gave perhaps the most finished perform- ance of the play as the young lover, idealistic, urbane, impulsive, and utterly, utterly English. Maribeth Schrieber was beautiful as Valen- tine, blending her personality with real feeling into the many moods of her changing part. Mrs. Crafton played well her unsympathetic role of unfortunate and unfaithful wife, and Dorothv Derfelt contributed a superb character sketch as old Mrs. Newsome, the evil, prying maid. The tense and dramatic final cur- tain of Land ' s End was a fitting close to another dramatic season at K. U. an exceptionally success- ful one from the standpoint of the department and an exceptionally entertaining one from the stand- point of the large student audiences.

I owe one of my largest debts of gratitude for help in publishing the Jayhawker this year to Bill Grant. Although he got a late start, Bill made up for it by his constant will- ingness to help and by conscien- tiousness that was gratifying. Two others who furnished val- uable assistance this year were Fred Littooy and Virgil Mitchell. Too often the workers behind the scenes are overlooked. Often they are mentioned as being overlooked, but infrequently is it that their work is actually commended individually. On the mast-head of the Jayhawker appears a list of the Office Staff. Some of them are listed because they were of help for a few weeks and then forgot that the Jayhawker existed. But the majority of them were interested enough in their futures with the magazine, and were endowed with enough desire for service that they did countless insig- nificant and routine tasks around the Jayhawker office without hope OUR LAST WORD By JAMES COLEMAM (Continued from Page 364) of reward. Of these the work of Jane Blaney and Richard MacCann are especially appreciated. In addi- tion to her work as circulation man- ager Jane has worked diligently in compiling indexes for the year ' s volume of the Jayhawker. It was always time for relaxation when Marianna hurried into the office with the Pi Phi sisters at her heels to see that she was actually needed; that the Jayhawker wasn ' t just an excuse to be released from a boring study hall. And so my work as chief worrier for the 1937 Jayhawker is over. It has been a very real pleasure to hold the reins for a year, and I hope that the magazine I have published receives a word of approbation at one time or another. I have only admiration to express for my col- league, Jack Townsend, whose task it was as business manager to find enough money with which to pay the bills I incurred. That he did, and more, although through increased use of photographs we have given our supporters one of the most expensive Jayhawkers ever. Farewell to the Jayhawker, thanks to the business manager and staff and best wishes to you supporters. OUR LAST WORD By JACK TOWNSEND . afternoon this year. He is a posses- sor of great imagination and fore- sight. Many of his ideas have been incorporated into the magazine to its obvious benefit. Lawrence Birney has handled the organizations this year, and as a result of his fine work, the revenue from this source has increased. Tom Bowlus had a little diffi- culty in orienting himself to the uni- versity after two years in junior col- lege, hence was unable to work the first semester. However, he made up for it in his work the second. Never have I seen a salesman turn in as many accounts in so little time. Orin Armstrong started working ! Page 365) on my staff only a few weeks ago but has shown great promise. His type of endeavor brings results. It is with a great deal of regret that I realize that my job is about finished and that soon I shall be no longer active in the publishing of the magazine. The editor and I have received a great deal of pleas- ure and untold benefit from our connection with the magazine. To the editor goes the real credit for the success of the magazine. He and I have worked in complete harmony and his vision and diligence have been a model to me. To him and to all who have so faithfully helped me this year I say thank you. THIS TNT THAT (Continued from Page 341) at K. U. because of the tint of its sponsors ' political convictions. In this connection, it seems fitting to comment upon the action of the legislature in naming our audito- rium after one Hoch. Just who said Hoch was, and what his connection with the University was, seems to be veiled in complete mystery. It seems that the solons might at least have selected someone who was commonly associated in the minds of Kansas with the development of the school; but doubtless, like Brutus, Hoch was an honorable man whose name would have been lost, had not it been attached to something somewhat permanent. Doris Johnson, freshman Kappa flash from Kansas City, made her bid for fame and placed her alma mater on the map of California by being selected as one of four comely coeds to journey to Hollywood for inspection by six famous comedians. Doris reports that the bevy of beau- ties were wined and dined by the elite of Hollywood in true movie capital style. All were offered movie contracts after screen tests and all declined, choosing to pursue knowl- edge rather than tread the rocky road to stardom. Save for an acute siege of air sickness the Hollywood Holiday was a huge success. May 1st saw the passing, from the Kansas Picture, of that golden bev- erage dear to the heart of many students. Wrinkling up their noses at the legalized sheep dip known to the legislature as 3.2, the body poli- tic betakes itself to Kansas City in search of liquid refreshment. The night of April 30 was a solemn one and the student homers were out in force to see the old times out. One jovial host gave away his entire supply of beer and setups to thirsty students and went bone dry on the stroke of twelve. And so, dear chil- dren, the evil influence of demon alcohol has been driven from our fair state. The Kansas Kampus is Kompletely Klean for Kansas Kam- pus Kiddies.

BOOK EXCHANGE wrong environment. With the inter- scholastic track and field meet going on in the stadium, the base- ball teams put on a meet of their own, Iowa State again winning, this time 21-12. Wood, who started, was touched for eight runs in the first inning and before the game ended, infielders Kappelman and Weidner had taken their turns on the mound. Kansas finally won a game against Kansas State on the home diamond, April 21. Klimek, who entered the game with a very impressive pitching record for the Wildcats, was driven from the dia- mond by the slugging Kansans. This game marked the debut of Ole Nesmith as head coach, Francis Kappelman having left for Charles- ton, Vest Virginia where he is play- ing ball this season. Kansas State evened the series by winning the second game although outhit 13-9. Smokv Joe Vood who started BASEBALL IS BACK (Continued from Page 370) was finally extinguished in the fifth after Kansas State had scored all 1 1 of their runs. After cold weather had caused a cancellation of a return game with Rockhurst, the Jayhawkers went to Lincoln for a two-game series with the Cornhuskers April 30 and May 1 . The first game was lost 7-2, although IVebraska was outhit 10-9. Barney Anderson did the pitching for Kansas with his little brother. Ferrel on the receiving end. Kansas came back the next day to even the series by taking a 7-6 decision in 1 1 innings. Kloppenberg was rewarded for his steady pitch- ing in previous assignments by being allowed to start. However shaky support and the failure of his fast one to do its custo mary tricks got him into early trouble and when Roark replaced him in the seventh. Nebraska had its six runs. Roark pitched steadily until the eleventh but two successive walks caused Xesmith to call on Vood to put the last two Xebraskans out. Cof- fin ' s hitting again featured the Kansas attack. His average for the first seven games was .500. Kansas now has won three and lost five conference games. The pitching was on the upgrade and the batting punch was better than average. Ahead of them they have three tough series, two games each with Oklahoma, Kansas State and Missouri, all away from home. Kansas fans do not need to worry about the continuation of baseball if they continue to show the enthus- iasm they have shown in the past. Rather, any lack of enthusiasm has been on the part of the athletic department. Ole Xesmith has done a commendable job in his first coaching position and has produced some good baseball. Prospects look bright for the future with all the regulars and most of the reserves eligible for at least one more year.
