THE JAYHAWKER, in magazine form, will be just as permanent as the yearbook ever was. These holes in the magazine have been punched to fit a post binder type of cover. The covers for this year were made by the same company which for many years, with the exception of last year, has made covers for the Ail- American JAYHAWKERS. On the outside, these covers are of the same handsome appearance and fine construction as past JAYHAWKERS with an attractive new design. On the inside, there will be three posts with screw caps.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THE JAYHAWKER Volume XLVII Fall Number No. 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 review of campus trends and opinions. FRED M. HARRIS, JR. Editor-in-Chief PAUL L. WILBERT Business Manager With this issue, we introduce to you the 1934-35 version of the JAY- HAWKER MAGAZINE. As you all know, the JAYHAWKER last year marked a new era in the history of uni- versity annual publications. The maga- zine-annual, as pioneered by K. U., has spread to a number of other colleges and universities throughout the country. The object of the JAYHAWKER staff in swinging away from the old form of stereotyped annual was to re-arouse the interest of the student body in the pub- lication. Judging from the increase in circulation, last year ' s book must have done the trick. It is the problem of the staff this year to keep the five issues of the magazine from becoming too simi- lar, and also to differentiate from last year ' s annual. Our first move along this line was to change the cover designs. The covers, as you have noticed, are following an entirely different trend than last year. Not that they are too Sour Owlish, par- dons to editor Blowers, but they have been changed to suit the tastes of col- lege students. The lead story of this first issue is entitled ' ' Hello Again, and was writ- ten by Iris Olson, a talented writer who did a number of interesting stories for the JAYHAWKER last year. The story deals semi-humorously with the school opening activities. Vernon French; who wrote that inter- esting feature, K. U. Through the Ages in last year ' s book, comes to the front in this issue with a story on Our National Chancellor. This story tells of the part the chancellor played in securing C. W. A. aid for the college students of the country. The athletics for this year are being handled by Bob Braden, who assisted in that capacity last year. Bob ' s open- ing story, Football for ' 34, is very interesting, and well written. Other ath- letic stories this time are 1933-34 Suc- cesses by Joe Pryor, and Another Pennant by Clyde Reed, Jr., a new- comer on the JAYHAWKER staff. A feature that is being carried through by the JAYHAWKER this year is a series of stories on life on the other Big Six campuses. In this issue is a very well written article on Missouri Life. This story was written by two Missouri students, a boy and a girl. It is very frankly written, and so the authors have requested that their names be withheld. Old and popular features that are be- ing carried over from last year are: The Social Wheel, Campus Poly- logia Says , Feminine Fashions, and With the Campus Poets. In addi- tion, we have added a story on Campus Clothes in order to give the JAY- HAWKER a bit of the ESQUIRE ' S touch. This article on what the men of the campus are wearing, and what they should wear, is being written by a well-known student who is an authority on men ' s clothing. Humorous articles in this issue con- sist of a story on Reforming the Var- sities by Bob Lamar, and Russian Language, a treatise on rush week from the pen of Ray Reed, who will be remembered by readers as the author of Campus Polylogia Says last year. Art work for this issue came from Jim Donahue, who will serve this year as art editor of the magazine, and Arvid Jacobson. A full page cartoon by Donahue, and a caricature of C. M. Harger, chairman, of the Board of Re- gents, by Jacobson, are the outstanding features from the art department. Credit for this issue should also be given to John Chandler, Stanley Mari- etta, and James Coleman, for the assist- ance that they rendered in giving you this first issue. So, the 1934-35 JAYHAWKER starts on its Career. It is a long year, and the staff has many worries, and lots of work ahead of it. But also, we have the pleasure of publishing a magazine- annual that is being read by our fellow students, and we hope enjoyed by them. The JAYHAWKER is not a publi- cation that is to be read and then dis- carded. It is a permanent record of your years at K. U. When, in later life, you begin to look back over your col- lege days, you can get your JAY- HAWKER out of the files, and in it you will find pictures and stories about friends that had long since been for- gotten. Your college career can be lived over again in memories through the JAYHAWKER. So, don ' t throw it away when you have finished reading it. Place it in the post-binder and save it. You won ' t regret doing so. The Jayhawker Editor is having diffi- culty finding capable writers to carry on in shoes of those who did so much to get the magazine started last year. There are many good writers in school, they just haven ' t gotten around to ap- plying for a staff position. Any stu- dent is welcome to come to the JAY- HAWKER office any afternoon, and fill out a staff application blank. Any student is welcome to write stories on campus problems, and turn them in. If they are satisfactory they will be illus- stated by the art staff and published in the JAYHAWKER. The book this year plans to run more stories that are con- troversial, and will cause comment among the student body. In this first issue, for instance, we are running an article entitled Does K. U. Need a Third Party. This story will give the Hill politicians something to worry about, and will start the uninterested student to thinking about the political situation on the K. U. campus. Our story on The Crowd Roars deals with the school spirit situation, and Charles Zeskey, Jr. discusses the Chancellor ' s Reception both pro and con in his story which bears that title. tns UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Hello again BY IRIS OLSON And with the usual hustle and bustle of rush week, enrollment, and parties we say Hello again QUT, MOTHER, I just have to be [ at the house Sunday night! Just think, now, rush week, starts Thursday and there ' s so much to be done. We have to clean our rooms, polish the silver, and well, I just have to go. And mother says I just don ' t see any sense to it whatsoever. Here you could just as well spend those three days here at home resting up for school. But, Mother, don ' t you see? pleads Betty in her sweetest tones, I just have to go. Mother doesn ' t see but, nevertheless, the next day Betty is off to college. Much the same scene takes place in Bill ' s home not so very far away. Bill speaks to Dad of the necessity of ail early return to school and even adds a hint that the family car really would come in handy when the brothers go after rushees. Aw gee. Dad, I ' ve just got to have it. he entreats, the fellows are count- ing on me. don ' t you see? Dad doesn ' t see either but, before he is really given much chance to con- sider the proposition, Bill has the car out of the garage and is speeding Law- renceward. When Betty meets Bill, however, sorority silver is soon forgotten and Bill knows that the brothers really won ' t need the car until Friday. It ' s hello again. coke again, and again. And so, school begins. Thursday dawns all too soon, how- ever, and for a brief interval, dates must be forgotten and the early morn- inn; hours must be spent in learning that ' ' Mary Brown has lots of money, a car of her own, but is a trifle large, and John Smith can really play football but he ' s an awful punk. Rushing points must be reviewed and the names of prominent members must ever be on the lips of the actives. From this point on it ' s open season on rushees. The armies are ready and the battle will soon begin. Now that the most important phases of rush week for those on the other THE THETAS EXTEND A WELCOME side have been done away with, let us see just how the prospective neophytes feel. To them Mt. Oread presents a sterner countenance. Worry and be- wilderment cloud their faces. The neces- sity of making a good impression is uppermost in their minds. They wonder Will anyone really want me? If they only knew how much they were wanted, or should we say needed? Events move fast and furious and in a very very short time Thursday has come. Mary Ann. our model rushee. after being warned about hotboxes, spik ing and other attendant evils, walks up to the sorority house where she has her first date. Immediately upon arrival she is literally seized by no less than a dozen of the sisters who proceed to laud the merits of the only sorority until Mary Ann is just certain the others are just a bunch of bags. They dance her and dine her until she thinks they ' re just the sweetest girls. Time passes swiftly, however, and all too soon the face of the clock warns her that it ' s time to depart. The girls all but break down and weep at her departure but it must be done. At the next house the girls are even sweeter. A new one cuts in every sec- ond while she ' s dancing, they all say she has the duckiest outfit, they all just know she will do big things on the Hill. It ' s all too much for Mary Ann. She is truly in a whirl. At the sorority and fraternity houses things are also in a whirl. Presi- dents call meetings to order with such statements as I ' ve never seen quite such bad rushing in all my life, or Why didn ' t you get on that Jones boy, Brother Smith? Wrangling begins and far. yea, very very far, into the night the Greeks battle among themselves. 1 a. m. I don ' t care if his grand- father did practically give just our house. I don ' t want him, She ' s just the type that would carry a brief case on the Hill. 2 a. m. He was editor of his high school paper though. They say she has a car of her own. Maybe we can take it out of him. 3 a. m. She really is a marvelous athlete. Well, now I know someone who knows someone who has a sister who lives in the same town she does, and I just don ' t believe we want her from what I ' ve heard. 4 a. m. Chorus We ' re sleepy! Let ' s go to bed! ' ISevertheless, the grind resumes again the next day with even greater intensity. Hotboxes begin to function. Spiking is attempted by some, though of course, Pan-Hellenic rules against it. The standing merits of the Greek lodges are extolled to the skies the ' SYCHOLOGICAL EXAM GIVES THE NEW STUDENTS PLENTY TO DO. THE JAYHAWKER THE DELTS TAKE LESSONS FROM BOBBY JONES THE KAPPAS SHINE UP TO THEIR TROPHIES Pi Phis explain that they are only taking a few of the choicest girls the Phi Gams never forget to mention that Glenn Cunningham is a brother in the bond the Kappas would have them all know that Mrs. Coolidge is among the sisters of the key the Alpha Belts praise the homelike atmosphere of their colonial mansion the Phi Psis still admit that Buddy Rogers is a mem- ber the Alpha Chis must acquaint all with the splendor of their remodeling job and the Pi K. A ' s fairly radiate with down in old Virginia hospitality. The accomplishments of the sisters and brothers, who, somehow or other, rule the activity world, are not forgot- ten by any means. The Alpha Gams tell all that Mary Frances Kavanaugh is president of the Women Pan-Hellenic the Belts would have their rushees know that Bill Blowers, the snooper, is editor of the Sour Owl the Gamma Phis point out Julia Markham is their Hill leader as well as their prexy the Phi Psis let it be known that Bick Wells is one of the outstanding foot- ball and basketball players the Alpha Belts have all their rushees take note of the fact that Lena Wyatt is managing editor of the Kansan as well as the best rifle shot on the Hill the Sig Alphs laud the athletic ability of Paul Har- rington, honorary captain of last sea- son ' s basketball team the Chi Omegas point out Betty Cox as one of their girls who is on the W. S. G. A. Coun- cil and the Sigma Nus impress the rushees with the histrionic ability of their Farrel Strawn. Ere long the tolling of church bells announce it is Sunday but it is far from a day of rest. After a sleepless night rushees prepare to make out their preferences. Haughty sophomores won- der upon whom they will soon be privi- liged to use their new-found authority. Seasoned actives again look forward in eagerness to another year of ease. THE FIRST STEP IN THE MUGGING PROCESS BEGAN HERE. Five p. m., and the zero hour is at hand. At last, it is announced that everything is in readiness and bids are distributed. In a few hours all Greek- dom is welcoming their new pledges into the fold of brotherly and sisterly love. Another rush week is over and a new crop of neophytes are now enter- ing that period of probation which be- gins and ends with that pertinent sym- bol of fraternity life the paddle line. The maddening whirl at the Univer- sity, however, is not over by any means. There are still the varsities good old varsities. The crowded New York sub- ways must be a child ' s tea party com- pared to the jostling, bustling brawls that go under the name of dances here. It ' s lots of fun, though, to start out sanely and never know whether you ' ll end up in the bass drum or atop the chandelier. The gals of the upper classes are a sorry sight though. Seems as if you just can ' t ' get around ' unless you have a shiny new pledge pin, they wail. Won ' t somebody please take pity on us? they plead. Quite comparable to the drags, though with quite a loftier purpose in view, is enrollment. One almost begins to think they aren ' t wanted, judging from all the wild excuses that are found to prevent a speedy enrollment. Sorry, you ' re in the wrong line, they say or This class is filled, why don ' t you read the bulletin board? or No, that course isn ' t offered until next semester. It really makes no difference what you had planned to take because when you finally get as far as the pen, you find all the pipes are filled. But with hat awry and feet weary, you resolve to make the best of it in true Jayhawker fashion. On Thursday morning comes the sound of the whistle, and freshmen UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS begin what will be the four happiest years ever, and mournful seniors pre- pare to conclude that all too brief in- terval called college. All is not rosy for long, however, for not many days after the pledge but- ton is securely fastened, probationary days, to use a nice term, begin. The rush week, I ' m so glad to - know you, is changed to Aw right, freshman, as- sume the position and the gushy My, that ' s a lovely ensemble you have on is replaced by a sterner, They really just don ' t wear a dress like that to the mid-weeks, and the Oh, must you go so soon? is now a hardboiled active muttering, You know you mustn ' t leave the house until you finish your two hours on the ' phone and door. Pledges find they must seat actives at the table, keep study hall in what they had intended to be their spare time, have dates only at certain hours unless they can slicker the actives, wax floors, persuade grass to grow on lawns long before dead, attend all the activities that upperclassmen feel be- low their station, try out for Tau Sigma when their attempts at terpsicho- rean art more resemble the antics of Jumbo, the elephant, and for the Dra- matic Club when their speaking voice isn ' t even up to the standard of a good hog-caller, together with a few menial duties. This can ' t go on, they say. Let ' s rebel is the cry, and rebel they do. Secret meetings are held in kitchens after study hall to plot their course in this great crisis. Mysterious ' phone calls to the pledges increase in great numbers. The day dawns soon though when unsuspecting actives coming down to dinner are surprised to find that their charges have disappeared. On September 24 a general walkout was staged by the pledges of Pi Beta Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Ep- silon. Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Nu, Kap- pa Sigma, and a few others. The more timid neophytes waited until later. Some of the frat pledges were either too bash- ful to ask a sorority to go with them or decided that women were a big nuisance anyway and walked out by them- selves. Regardless of what mode was used, however, they all did it. and for one night the actives were forced to lower their status by answering ' phones and THE CHI OMEGAS POSE WITH THEIR RUSHEES. THE PHI PSIS TAKE TIME OUT FOR FOR A PICTURE. CLEANING THE BETA TROPHIES. doorbells while their freshmen were out enjoying themselves with the young gallants of the campus. Little did said pledges know that the price for their one night of forbidden pleasure would come very very high. Little did they know how long the ac- tives had been practicing and waiting for a good chance to exhibit their good old swing on the paddle. Little did they know how it would feel to have a paddle broken over them. Little did they know then that it ' s the poor fresh- man who pays and pays and pays. : It ' s all in fun though, and ere long even the mistreated pledges are a part of this famed Jayhawker atmosphere. They too are experiencing the many many thrills which come with life at the University. ' In conclusion, it seems as though, somehow or other, a brief bit of one of the modern poets seems to fit in as being symbolic of all the glamorous mad gaiety of the Hill. It is: My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night. But ah, my friends, and oh, my foes. It gives me a lovely light. 10 THE JAYHAWKER Our national chancellor BY VERNON FRENCH An article that pays the respects of 75,000 college students to Ernest H. Lindley for his help in securing C. W. A. aid for them ON SUNDAY, January 14 of this year, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had as luncheon guests Chan- cellor and Mrs. E. H. Lindley and Ernest K. Lindley, their son. That the president of the United states, the chancellor of a university, his wife, and their son, a staff correspondent of a New York paper, should have lunch together, should not be regarded as any particularly momentous occasion in itself. But when the results, due in part to such a meeting affect the lives of some 75,000 college students in the United States, it is another matter. And that is what happened. It was then that Chancellor Lindley called the attention of President Roosevelt to the great need for help for a near-lost generation, and offered a plan that might help that group. Chancellor Lind- ley, a spokesman for many mid-western educators who had shown interest in this project and had collaborated on its de- velopment, had made a s-pecial trip to Washington for the occasion. Soon after the Lindleys ' trip to Wash- ington, announcement was made by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Ad- CHANCELLOR E. H. LINDLEY RAYMOND NICHOLS ministrator, that the federal government was making available a grant giving as- sistance to college students whose finan- cial difficulties prevented their contin- uing their school work. This assistance, given in the form of part-time employ- ment, permitted all institutions of col- lege grade (with the exception of those conducted for profit) to aid 10 per cent of their enrollments of the preceding October. The CSEP (College Student Employ- ment Project), as it was called, did not propose to give a dole; the work pro- vided was bona fide work, the results of which would be of great social value. It did not allow for replacement of em- ployees whose services were already provided for; rather, it added to the ranks of the employed. One might point to many things which have influenced Chancellor Lindley in his working toward the goal of obtain- ing government aid for needy students. Almost three years have passed since the idea was first born. It was when the chancellor was driving to the Pacific coast to attend the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. His party had stopped for the night at Limon, Colorado, when two young men, one of them they had known as a student, greeted them, inquiring as to the possibilities of a lift to Califor- nia. A conversation followed, during which the two men revealed that they had come from Texas on a freight train, and that nearly 200 others had travelled on the same freight. Who are these boys and young men? Why are they on the road? and, what will become of them? thought the chancellor and his party. And that be- gan a long series of carefully planned UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS investigations and important interviews on the part of the chancellor. That this so-called lost generation was and is of vital importance to the United States cannot be too strongly emphasized. National progress depends on trained leadership, said Dr. Fred- erick J. Kelly, chief of the division of colleges and professional schools of the U. S. Bureau of Education. Present conditions show a decrease of 15 per cent in college enrollments, in spite of the fact that high school graduates have increased 40 per cent. A student needs only part-time work to keep him going, while if he were out of school, he would be in the market for full-time work. Dr. Kelly was formerly dean of the School of Education, and later dean of administration at the University of Kansas. Other men have given their support to the plan Chancellor Lindley had in mind. George F. Zook. U. S. Commis- sioner of the Bureau of Education, a K. U. man, having received degrees in 1906 and 1907; John G. Stutz, head of the Kansas Public Works Administra- tion, and Governor Alf M. Landon, all had important parts in the development of the college students ' aid plan. What has happened as a result of the efforts of Chancellor Lindley? Take Kansas as an example. Last spring, 1,483 men and women, who otherwise would not have been in school, attended Kansas colleges and universities. This meant that in Kansas, 1,483 persons were not job-hunting; rather they were gaining the benefits of a semester ' s ad- vance in their college work. It meant that work which had been put off indef- initely because of the lack of funds, could now be done. It meant that a part of the lost generation was coming back to its own. Has it been an expensive proposi- tion? Who would say so when he must see that an average of $135 pro- vides the means of keeping a student in college a full year, and when he real- izes that important work has been done in each case! Coming to the working of the plan at K. U., one sees that the full quota of the University ' s allotment (now 12 per cent of the enrollment), 420 students, half of whom were not in school a year ago, are enabled to attend college. They are paid rates between thirty and fifty cents an hour, and they may not work more than thirty hours a week. Their earnings range between $10 and $20 a month. Students in the CSEP are doing work of all kinds. Files in the journalism building, long neglected, have been brought up to date and kept so; con- struction and repairs are being done: laboratories are being improved by the addition of specimen cases and mount- ings; books in the libraries have re- ceived long-needed repairs. The jobs are of all types, including research, cler- ical, cafeteria, stenographic, and hos- pital work. Raymond Nichols heads the commit- tee in charge of distributing the CSEP jobs on the Kansas campus. Miss Mary Olsen, ' 29, is the executive secretary of the CSEP at K. U. Miss Olsen, who later received her MA de- gree at Columbia University, at one time served as manager of the New York of- fice of the American Education Press. Through Mrs. Ethel M. Evans, cafe- teria director, a plan in connection with the CSEP has been worked out whereby students may obtain meals at the cafe- teria for a nominal rate. Those taking part in this plan need not necessarily be on CSEP work, but they must demon- strate that they would not be able to attend college without this help. The (Continued on page 68) HARRY L. HOPKINS. FEDERAL RELIEF ADMINISTRATOR. Football for ' 34 THE JAYHAWKEB BY BOB BRADEN With crisp autumn days, football again steps into the limelight on Mount Oread, and the Jayhawkers start on a strenuous schedule . . . DOUBLE parking along Mississippi Street could mean but one thing. The football season was just getting un- der way and the lure of the gridiron had brought out groups of interested spec- tators to watch practice sessions of Jay- hawker football candidates. What a lot of new faces there seemed to be. But there were some familiar ones too. Quite a few of the linesmen had seen at least one year ' s service with the Red and Blue, but there were few veterans in the backfield. The Kansas team for the 1934 season was undoubtedly going to be a wide open affair with a scrambling for positions left open by last year ' s stars. The gap left by Mehringer at tackle was going to be a difficult posi- tion to fill with equal merit. The hack- field was going to miss the line plung- ing of Ray Dumm and the swift run- ning attack of Ed HalL But, another season, another team. Kansas was the unknown factor in Big Six circles. The stars from last year ' s freshman team should be the determining factor in the success of the Jayhawker gridsters. As the afternoon practices continued the Kansas eleven began to shape into a formidable team. The line seemed to have the same power and drive that Kansas teams were destined to have in the past. Many of the same linesmen MIKE SHOWS ' EM HOW AD GIVES PUNTING INSTRUCTIONS appeared at their old posts for another season. Burt Hammers was still holding down a wing berth. Dees and Dean Nes- mith were at the tackle positions to which they had switched from guard. Milo Clawson, starring at tackle op- posite Mehringer last year, was now at an end position. Sklar, sturdy regular of last season, was occupying a guard post. Watkins and Phelps, both veter- ans, were alternating at center. Tommy McCall, member of the Kansas Big Six championship team of 1930, was at the other guard position. This lineup seemed to give Coach Lindsey what he desired in the way of a powerful de- fensive line. What prospects did he have in the backfield? Ole Nesmith, Peter- son, White, and Harris were the vet- erans who had returned. A newcomer, Mano Stukey, gave promise of becom- ing a regular. He will be remembered as a star of last year ' s frosh eleven. Several other sophomore backs of WHITE HURDLES A C. U. TACKLER promise were: Hapgood, Antonio, Deck- er, and Giannangelo. Out of this ma- terial, Ad Lindsey was to choose a combination which he hoped would prove effective against the forward walls of the opposition. Immediately prior to the Colorado game, it was an- nounced that the regular backfield would probably consist of: Peterson at fullback, Stukey and Harris at halves, and Bob White at the quarter position. The absence of Ole Nesmith in the starting lineup was due to a slight phy- sical injury which kept him from the game. It was taken for granted that Ole would be one of Kansas ' outstanding backs this season as evidenced by his fine record last year. The illustrated Football Annual, national football magazine, recently gave him the honor of being one of the Midland ' s finest backs. The day of the Colorado game dawned neither bright nor clear. Hard rains had deluged the playing field for two days preceding the game. By noon, the sun had broken through and a fine day offered itself as a good example of football weather. The crowd was on hand a bit earlier than usual be- cause this was the first game of the new season and also because the field was to be dedicated officially by the American Legion as Kansas Field. After the dedication ceremonies, the powerful Colorado team rushed onto the field for a brief limbering up. Last year, this gold jerseyed team had lost only two out of nine engagements and it was no secret that K. U. was to enter the game on the short end of the betting odds. The Rocky Mountain foe was to prove a real test for the Kansas team. A short time later, the white-jer- seyed Kansans came upon the newly dedicated field and the game began. Although the inundation of the pre- vious day had indicated it would be a mud battle, the game progressed with- out serious disadvantages arising from uncertain footing. The turf was just soft enough to be kindly disposed toward the players of an opening football game. The ground also seemed soft enough to prevent any sudden dashing runs, twisting line thrusts, or sweeping broken field runs. In fact the game end,- UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 13 40 30 4E5 34 j 37 - Vf ,7 ' 9 24 3 . f n, -3) . x . . 4? 71, , S 32 v ' I, rt y T ird Rotr: HAYES. MITCHELL. MINTER. W ATKINS. ANTONIO. PITTS. SIEGLE.

Both teams were very able on the defense but when it came to offensive tactics neither side had suf- ficient persistency to penetrate its op- ponent ' s goal line. Once the Jayhawker eleven was within the 15-yard marker but that was for one brief down. Bob White had just made a twenty-yard run to place the ball within scoring dis- tance. After an ineffectual thrust or two, the ball was lost and the alternat- ing parade continued once more, up and down, up and down, with Fred Harris getting off some beautiful punts to keep the Coloradoans at some distance from the goal line. Pete Peterson played a very good game in the back- field. Several times when a shifty back had eluded the front line of defense. Peterson promptly brought both the ball carrier and his goalward ambitions to the ground. ' Several reasons might be ascribed to the lack of visible offensive strength of the Jayhawkers. These reasons were personified in the form of the St. Bene- dict ' s, Missouri, and Tulsa visiting foot- ball teams and coaches. Perhaps it was well that the Red and Blue offense still remained an unknown factor. It should be just that much more effective at a later date in the season. All of which brings up the subject of the long list of worthy opponents which the Jayhawk- ers must face before retiring from their moleskins. The remaining home games will include Oklahoma. Michigan State, and Nebraska which should be a pro- gram excellent enough for the most avid devotee of the gridiron game. Ex- perts predict that no breather can be found in such a schedule. It will have to be a tough team to go through such a season with any degree of success. Reserve strength should be an important factor in the aforementioned tough- ness of the football team. The 1934 edition of the fighting Jayhawks makes up in spirit what it lacks in numbers. The turnout was much lower than in other Big Six schools and less than the number reporting in previous years. Speaking of reserve strength, as in- deed we were, the K. U. coach seems to have spotted a likely little linesman in the person of Clyde Tiny Moore. 250-pound tackle from Elkhart. Kan- sas. One must be careful in speaking of Tiny and reserves at the same time. It is most likely that he will be a regu- lar by the end of the season. The way that he adequately took care of two or three linesmen in the Colorado game would indicate a favorable outlook con- cerning his future status on the team. On the offense, he seems to have a dy- namic sort of thrust which takes him through to the opposing backfield. If he can add just a bit more speed to his scrimmage line sallies, he may prove quite a bother to adventuresome backs or opposing punters. Moore turned in an excellent performance at the Colo- (Continued on page 62 I rrro. LINDSEY, THE JAYHAWKER R. ussian language BY RAY REED A humorous sketch of the antics of the Greeks during rush week . . . AVIID laughter or tears or bored nonchalance, the youngsters of the Kansas fraternities and sororities donned various shapes of buttons and pins and committed themselves to the various campus organizations on a cer- tain Sunday eve not long ago. And now the age old reports and stories come drifting back about things that occur- red during that illustrious week when everyone seemed to know what club he or she was going to choose except that he or she itself. Now that most of the trouble is over, it seems that several of the sourer grapes are getting sweeter, and things that never could be forgot- ten have been forgotten. But the one tiling that the freshmen themselves have not forgotten is the treatment they re- ceived while in the status of rushees. Wonder what was said when the first someone said to polish the first shoes or wash out the first stockings. Some kind soul really ought ' to establish a pamphlet telling of the after life of freshmen. And they treated us so nice was probably the most used phrase on that first Saturday morning when the famous freshman discipline began to take effect. Someone really should have been on hand to record the ex- pressions uttered when study rules and campuses were first limbered up and put in good working condition. But none of these equaled the feelings wrought in that individual who found that all the stories told about this or that club were not true and that his choice for the best was sadly in error. But the greatest let down from the week of renown seemed to be in a certain sorority in which a new pledge remarked that she didn ' t know any of the girls after rush week was over and the alumni who had done the rushing had gone home. And then one of the Phi Belt lads remarked that he had joined up because there were fewer fel- lows his size than anywhere else and therefore fewer brothers to wear his clothes. Smart boy! We heard of a Delt lad who thought he ought to be intro- duced all over again to his future broth- ers because he didn ' t recognize any of them in their own clothes after rush week was over. It seems that the girls of Pi Phi and the boys of the A.T.O. club led in quan- tity in their separate fields; but we kinda expected something like this from these two since the redecorating of the Pi Phi front room brought those fur- niture bills, and then the old proverb of the boys on West Fourth that next to quality, quantity is best. But not count- ing this, we have inside information from every club that they managed to get the best of the best. Of course, the Chi-0 girls feel very proud of getting a full fledged beauty queen material. Take little Miss Marty Davis or Helen Johnson and Betty Haas who would share honors with the best of the beauty queens. Or there might originate a con- test for the most striking young lady in appearance which would mean a cup to a little Miss Billingsley or a very at- tractive Miss Katherine Hurd or a very noticeable Miss Mary Francis Martin. And then the Gamma Phi ' s say their Dorothy Ann Martin would top the list in any kind of a beauty contest. But all that is to be decided at a later date. It is much funnier to hear about these new pledges from the older mem- bers of the fraternities and sororities of which they have just become one. From what we hear out of the brothers of Sig Alph, another Harrington is with them and is to outdo his well known predeces- sor. And the sisters of Kappa are pray- ing that they brag of another Phi Beta Kappa in their youngster by the name of Ainsworth; and we can hardly go by the house of Gamma Phi ' s without hear- ing what the boys all think of a Miss Elinor Kirkmeyer, as told by the sisters. And those guys wearing the pin of Phi Delta Theta seem to think that Bausch and Cunningham were only second class athletes when compared with some member of their younger set by the name of Tricket. Now we are wondering what memor- ies came into the heads of all the freshmen when they first found out for sure that they were freshmen: I imagine that rush week was easily forgotten memories with a paddle. But some memories are rather hard to do away with. In fact, one of the groups of girls has a memory of losing a niece of one of the founders to the Kappa girls. And someone said that a very attractive Miss Kehl decided on the key girls after being rushed another club by one of the Sigma Chi fellows. And now we hear of one of the Sig Chi pledges who can ' t figure how the brothers acquired all the cars that were seen around during rush week. We heard that the Acacia ' s talked about their cars and their palatial three acre estate again; it seems that every year that estate grows another acre, some day its going to work up to And in our back yard we have the city of Lawrence. Or perhaps someone told you of one of the rush weeks darlingest rushees who decided that she would like Gov. Alf to sit in the front room of one of the houses on Indiana and then all of a sudden changed her mind and decided that Alf would like the new Pi Phi front room much better on his visits. And someone said that the Phi Psi ' s had a room refinished in Re- (Continued on page 63) m ' V V2l Us vi sVe - S MA ? r ) a ieA: f : ?S? ! A e=?

BY A MISSOURI STUDENT Is the University of Missouri a country club or an insti- tution of learning? . . . .-. OUT of the dim dark past has come an idea which has spread to every corner of the state of Missouri and every campus in the Big Six Mi ouri University, a playground for the idle rich, a country club, the At- lantic City of college life. How the idea started, where, and why, nobody seems to know. Nevertheless the impression exists; and so far no one has taken the time or trouble to answer those charges. Many of us realize that our student body, as a group, is being accused of carryings-on that are really characteris- tic of a minority, that we ' re all thought of as going to town in a big way with no thought of rules or conventions. e admit our faults. Every school has them. But we ' ve got our good points too, and we ' re proud of them. How about a good picture of the whole situa- tion for a change? What do we do in our moments of relief, when we can for a time tear our- selves away from the monotonous rou- tine of classes, libraries, and quizzes? There are a million things to do. We i.-an take our pick. If a few of us pick wrongly, that ' s not everybody ' s fault. We will have to admit that our social life is much over-emphasized, that cam- pus life seems centered too much around fraternity and sorority affilia- tions, that many undergraduates spend twice as much time on dance floors as they do on school work. Perhaps that is because we are locat ed in a small town, so far away from a large city that the majority of us must create our own amusement. It ' s a little inconven- ient and somewhat expensive to dash to Kansas City or St. Louis for week-end parties. So, with some exceptions, we prefer to find our diversions here. That ' s where our Greek life shines. Fraternity houses are mammoth mansion affairs, perhaps the most beautiful in the Big Six, but probably the deepest in debt. The average house holds thirty men, and the average active membership is about twenty. How do they make ends meet? Many don ' t. Our building splurge of a few years ago has been followed this season by- many houses slipping or vaulting into the hands of the receivers. This neces- sitates much financial rushing and as many pledges as can be talked into pay- ing fifty dollars a month. As a result, many Greeks are not of a higher type than independents. They just happen to have more cash on hand. Of course, if you ' re a star quarterback, or a beauty- queen, that ' s different. Sororities as a whole are better off financially than fraternities. Each week-end these near-palaces are the scenes of dances unparalleled in any- other school. In addition to dates, some two hundred stags are invited to each dance sorority parties are much more crowded than fraternity functions and the constant cutting makes the event a girl ' s Paradise and her date ' s Hell. Rules have been repeatedly passed to reduce the number of invited guests, but none of them have met with approval. Therefore, they are seldom obeyed. After all. all the Big Shots as well as everybody you know as a good fel- low ought to be on hand for the fun. Fraternities and sororities twirl the political wheel. Tom Pendergast and Boss Tweed might pick up a few- pointers from M. U. politicians. Maybe THE COLUMNS THE PRIDES OF THE M. U. CAMPUS 82 THE JAYHAWKEB we ' re running a training school for po- tential Jim Parleys. The idea has pos- sibilities. For three weeks every spring the entire campus becomes politically minded. Every fraternity man and so- rority woman solicits votes for candi- dates for some really non-functioning office in a so-called student govern- ment. (They throw a dance once in a while). It all happens because the campus is divided into two groups. These combines of fraternities cut each other ' s throats, sling mud until they are blind, and tell themselves they are having a big time. It ' s truly politics for polities ' sake. The caucuses fight with each other and among themselves. Last year, a caucus split elected an inde- pendent Student Government Associa- tion president. This year nobody knows exactly how things will be lined up. Classes are neglected and in most cases not even considered during this period of turmoil. When it ' s all over and the caucus that could secure the most ghost votes is safely seated in office, the cam- pus settles down to study only to find that the school year is over. Elections are only a part of this po- litical panorama. Everything in school is tainted with campus politics. ' The politicians pick the beauty queens, run the publications, hold all the campus honors, and attempt to monopolize every activity no matter how great or small. The setup may be bad, but after all it is great sport, provides a lot of ex- perience, and so far it has done no drastic damage. Sixty per cent of the student body is unaffiliated. These barbs are ac- tive to a certain extent in social life, more in campus politics, but they are sadly in the minority when it comes to active leadership in either field. We ' ll have to plead guilty to the charge that social standing, acquired by member- ship to one of the twenty-eight fra- ternities, or eighteen sororities is usual- ly essential to campus success. Yet above all this sea of social whirl- pool, and political storms, Missouri can well boast of several unique and outstanding activities. You can easily see that what is described above could not satisfy the great variety of students found in Columbia: small town hicks, as well as big city sophisticates; pau- pers, as well as millionaires; the seri- ous-minded, as well as the frivolous. The hundreds working their way through school slinging hash, firing furnaces, mowing lawns, tutoring, bang- ing typewriters and other hundreds who come really to go to school are not interested in costly flippancy. They de- sire the worth-while, and they get it. Phi Beta Kappa, Blue Key, Mortar MEMORIAL TOWER Board, Mystical Seven, Alpha Delta Sigma, etc., are not sneered at. True worth is still recognized and praised. The most widely respected students are still the ones that do the most effi- ciently. An unusually successful activity sup- ported by the student body is the Mis- souri Workshop, which offers an excel- lent medium for the dramatic develop- ment of its members. Twenty to thirty one-act plays, student-directed, and four major productions under the direction of Workshop ' s talented leader. Dono- van Rhynsburger, are presented during the year. The organization provides real dramatic stimulus. Students of the drama can observe the technique of play production as well as get practical experience in the field. The large mem- bership is not limited to those enrolled in dramatic art courses. Both Your Houses, The Late Christopher Bean, and, this year, Yellow Jack have drawn the highest praise, along with many others. Famed for its journalism, the Mis- souri student body publishes the town daily, The Columbia Missourian, which is connected with the Journalism School, and the Missouri Student, an uncensored expression of student opin- ion. The latter originated when the Mis- sourian became more of a journalistic laboratory than a report of collegiate news. The student editor is chosen by the Student Government Association and is free to select his own staff. Many of his recruits come from fraternity pledge classes, who are compelled to go out for a definite number of activities their first year. The Savitar, the Missouri annual, is also purely an activity, and has always received high ranking. It is published by a large staff. Heads of both editor- ial and business divisions are selected from those who have been Savitar work- ers for several years. As an official humorous publication, we have the Showme, also under student manage- ment. Religious life on the campus can be summed up in Burrall Bible Class, the only thing of its kind in the world. At- tended by some nine hundred students of the University of Missouri, Christian, and Stephens colleges, this class is whole-heartedly supported and is very influential in campus life. A Student ' s Religious Council with its denomina- tional divisions also adds a spiritual seriousness. Religious Emphasis Week, sponsored annually by these organiza- tions, presents some outstanding lec- turers who make us stop to think. Despite recent attempts to break down compulsory military training, the R. 0. T. C. continues to flourish; and, no matter how much the anti-war group screams for its downfall, the stu- dent body as a whole is heartily in its favor. Honorary military groups are well supported, and R. 0. T. C. offices are among the most coveted. Athletics and the accompanying school spirit have been at a very low ebb, but, we hope, are now on the up- grade. An eastern flash of polo is run- ning up in popularity on the old favor- ites, football, basketball, and track. An extraordinarily active M Men ' s Club is doing a great deal toward rebuilding the old Missou fight. TTNTVEBSITY OF KANSAS JESSE HALL MISSOURI ' S AD BUILDING Intra-mural competition varies one- act plays, touch football, swimming meets, inter-fraternity sings, etc. After rush week winds up, relations among fraternities are on the most friendly plane. Rivalry is interesting but not bitter. The Farmers, Engineers, and Lawyers, have their customary scrim- mages; but nobody gets awfully excited about it, merely amused. So much for the campus in general. Now, to be more specific, what of the students themselves? What kind of per- sons are they? Any kind they want to be. Let ' s talk about our typical Joe Col- lege, the kind we want to forget, the kind all campuses, including Missouri, have, but of which they as a whole disapprove. Joe doesn ' t let his work interfere with his college life. Requirements of a high average for fraternity social privileges make him study enough to make fairly decent grades. Maybe this is the reason for the rather high scho- lastic average of the student body; al- though some themes can be written by professionals, and grades can be gotten in peculiar ways. Joe doesn ' t take athletics very seri- ously. It ' s been so long since he saw a winning football team that he rather frowns on athletes, although he admits that in a lot of respects some of them really get around. He envies their popularity. He wants to win but refuses to do anything other than cuss about his lost bets and criticize the coach, who really doesn ' t deserve it, and is rather universally liked. Joe would much rather jelly in one of the too many local joints than go to any mass meeting! And you can bet if a Missou beer bust is under way, Joe ' s seat at the stadium will be found vacant. What about drinking? Missouri is reported to be one of the wettest cam- puses west of Virginia, but that is hardly true. There is plenty of drinking, but no more than exists in any other college. Joe isn ' t a drunkard by a long shot, though he may see to it that local druggists keep their doors open. Before repeal, bootleggers found Missouri a fertile field: but now business is fall- ing off. Probably more individuals drink but real drunks are less notice- able. As in every school, sub-rosa drinking fraternities exist in abund- ance, but they are rather harmless. Girls are sometimes as guilty of infraction of the drinking sin as men. Joe doesn ' t care very much about campus activities. He supports them pretty well. But. one man in each fra- ternity does al! the work, and Joe lets him. Joe loves parties, roaring around in big cars, dancing with pretty girls. He usually thinks those that don ' t join him are prudes or butts. We are dis- gusted with him. In contrast, the unsung Missouri man. for whom we pray recognition, came to school to make something of himself. He has a good time. He probably dates, dances, maybe drinks, but he is not an extremist. His education is costing him something and he intends to get his money ' s worth. He does it by working some day to startle the medical world, to add law victories to his credit, to grow the right crops in the right season, or to thrill his readers by the output of his pen. The girls whose types correspond, perhaps come more for the fun of it; but they, too. num- ber many level-headed among them future school teachers, journalists, mu- sicians, wives. This student goes out for (Continued on page 60) THE JAYHAWKER Charles Moreau Harger PROBABLY the best fitted man in the state for the position of chair- man of the Board of Regents is Charles Moreau Harger, the present holder of the office. Mr. Harger has been a mem- ber of the Board of Regents since the present system of governing the state schools was installed in 1925. He is ex- perienced in education, and in addition, is known as one of the finest journalists and business men in the state of Kansas. In 1888, Mr. Harger took over the Abilene Reflector, and since that time has built that paper into one of the finest dailies in the state. He is a con- tributor to Century, Scribners, Harpers, and the Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Harger served as principal of the schools at Hope, Kansas, for two years prior to his entering the newspaper business. From 1905 until 1910 he served as a director and lecturer in the department of journalism at K. U. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS The social whee BY THE SPOKESMAN THERE ' S one nice thing about this University: those who arrive here for the first time in September haven ' t the opportunity to discover that there are such things as professors, speech instructors, and classes until a good month has passed. Of course, such for- malities as registration and enrollment intrude upon an otherwise pleasant ten days, and those who can ' t stand be- fore unattentive audiences explaining the relationship between Descartes and Hobbs, but the new student wisely heeds their dissertations not one whit, and wonders only who he ' s going to drag to the first varsity. - I say, it ' s not until the old social wheel, with its monotonous and inevit- able revolutions, has Mr. and Miss Frosh under its hypnotic spell that these persons regain consciousness in a world entirely different in aspect from that in which they dwelled for some two weeks. Then the implicit faith in a forthcoming enjoyable week-end keeps them plodding from Monday to Friday. Have I made myself clear? This year, the accumulated dust and cobwebs were swept from between the spokes of the wheel by the smooth rhythms of Red Blackburn and his lads, who have apparently done some profit- able practicing during the last three months. The attendance, as usual, was almost too good, and the capacity of the ballroom floor was more than reached before the end of the dance. The following week-end was marked by the yearly reception of new and old students by Chancellor and Mrs. Lindley and a number of members of the faculty. The music which was fur- nished by Louie Kuhn after nine-thirty was not up to the standard generally set by varsities (if you ' ll forgive the under- statement (. and for some reason or other, possibly because the dance of a week previous was such a success, a large majority of those who greeted the chancellor went home rather gladly when the clock sounded midnight. Midweek varsities began four days later, the following Wednesday, and the crowd poured in most of the hour. As usual, the midweeks are holding their own as a successful Hill institution un- der the guiding hand of the new dance manager ( Ah, there, Metzler ! I The Phipps-Hibbs organization set a new high mark in enjoyable dances, the twenty-ninth of September. Not until ten minutes before sorority and room- ing house doors were locked did the dancers allow 7 the torrid trumpeter to cool his horn after a steady ten minutes of Stardust, that favorite of favorites. Even the uninspired football game with Colorado in the afternoon failed to dampen the spirits which were miracu- lously brought to life that night. There ' s a record which should stand for a good part of the year. Tommy Christian, who was billed on one of the downtown stages, took the THE OPENING VARSITY baton for the annual Jayhawk Wabble the night of the sixth. The weather man was kind, and a perfect night set the background for a second successful varsity. Sororities and fraternities con- tinued the display of their spoils wrung from the Battle of Campus Hill, the smoke of which had not yet completely disappeared. New fall dresses and plaid and overplaid suits (even if the trousers didn ' t match I appeared in large quantities. Some of the newer oampusites already were looking starry- eyed at one another, and that I-wish- I-had-an-initiation-badge.so - 1 - could - give-it-to-you gleam was seen on a few of the male faces. Oh for the halycon days of the freshman year! So much for the all-school varsities. They alone did not comprise the power which kept the old wheel spinning dur- ing the first five weeks. Three sororities opened their barns Friday. September 28. and attempted to persuade the fellows that they had the outstanding pledge class of the whole university. The Thetas. augmented by those in the new Widow ' s Retreat on Ohio, hid the furniture in the attic, or loaned it to the Phi Psis or something, scraped the accumulated gum off the floor, hired a swell band, and provided a swell evening of entertainment. The Alpha Chis were wise. Not wanting to dirty up their newly decorated house, they hired the top floor of the Memorial Union building and proceeded to open house there. Too bad all the boys couldn ' t see what a grand job the in- terior decorators did to the house perched on the top of Thirteenth Street. Well, we can ' t all be lucky. The A. D. Pis were the third to act as hostess that evening. Their two-story living room was packed by those who paraded up and down Oread Street accepting the free entertainment. One week later the number was in- creased to four, with Pi Phi, Gamma Phi. Delta Zeta. and Sigma Kappa com- peting for honors. For years now, the Pi Phi open house has been called a dance. In all probability, that quaint idea was originated by one who never attended one of the affairs. No explan- ation is needed for us old veterans who (Continued on page 57) Behind the news THE JAYHAWKER BY GEORGE LERRIGO An account of the actual routine followed by the staff in putting out the campus paper MANY students in the University underestimate the amount of time, patience, and work, necessary to put out the University Daily Kansan, the official daily paper. If a name is spelled wrong, the Kansan receives a black eye. If the campus is unusually dead, the Kansan is blamed for putting out a dull issue, and again Dame Ru- mor takes her dig at the Kansan staff. Collecting, writing, editing, and print- ing all of the printable news on a uni- versity campus is about the hardest thing with which newspaper people are confronted. With a few possible excep- tions, campus news all follows the same Irend, and it takes an exceptional writer to make it interesting and readable. Practically all students enrolling in the journalism department, whether they like it or not, are required to take up reporting. Reporting is needed as a basis for all types of newspaper work. Perhaps students joy in the thought of writing a nice juicy murder story. But alas, on a college campus, murders are practically extinct, and the aspiring journalists find themselves tapping out L. N. FLINT a story on where Lizzie Burch of Pump- kin Center is spending the week-end. However, the Kansan does fasten on to some stories, such as convocations, enrollment, C. S. E. P., and other frivol- ous campus functionings. To obtain these bits of news, the reporters strive and sweat. When they arrive in the morning, they find on the curved desk in the front of the room, a poorly writ- ten card, which in the vernacular of the journalists, is known as the tip sheet. It is the job of the reporter to decipher the writing on the card first, and then to discover what outstanding bits of news are to ' be had on his beat. The beat is a prescribed tour which the reporter follows in his quest for news. The beat system is worked out in code, more or less, and a deciphering sheet is available to the neophyte. As the reporter covers his beat he in- terviews the various department heads, hoping, perhaps, that he can catch them off guard and get a really big story, such as the arrival of a new shipment of fish, text-books, or quiz papers. These department heads act, for the most part, as press agents for their re- spective departments, and are considered among the really good news sources. Back to the shack trips the reporter, after he has thoroughly covered his beat. He sits down to the typewriter, and writes his news in as nearly the Kansan style as he can, and places it on the copy table. Here it goes into the hands of a battery of copy readers, the size of which varies with the time of day. These copy readers work under the careful supervision of Lena Wyatt, the female managing editor. They are equipped with soft lead pencils, and find their chief delight in making long black marks through the copy that is turned in. They are supposedly con- versed with all the rules listed in the Kansan style book, and they carefully read through the reporters well-made efforts. After crossing out three-fourths of the story, and changing the rest of it, in the process known as editing, the workers on the copy desk then start to write the headline, which is a definitely harrowing process. The difficulty of this job varies with the size of the head- QUENTIN BROWN line. If the job becomes too difficult, editor Wyatt usually comes to the rescue. After all has been done that can be done to the copy in this manner it is dropped into the flat tin pipe, that is known as the copy chute. This chute carries the copy down into the plant or back office. Here it goes into the hands of the linotype operators, and is set into type on any one of the four linotype machines owned by the de- partment. From here on, the process of making the news story readable is mostly mechanical. After the proof of the copy has been taken it goes to a diminutive white haired lady, who checks it over for mistakes. This lady, Mrs. Dennis, is one of the unsung heroes of the de- partment. In her hands, lies the respon- sibility of checking all errors that es- cape the copy readers, as well as typo- graphical mistakes. Then the make-up editor checks to see how the headlines look in type. The managing editor then looks it over, as do as many reporters as can get their hands on it. So much for the news that appears on the front and the back two pages. While the news pages are being made, Bill Blizzard, editor-in-chief, is seen running around with a worried look on his face, for he is the man who guides the destinies of the editorial page. He is responsible for the selection of the UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 27 editorials that appear in the paper, and at times hi? supply is a little short. However, a pair of. scissors and an ex- change paper are generally considered a good remedy. All copy for the paper must be turned in by 12:30 p. m., as this is known as the deadline. If not. there is likely to be some tearing of hair on the part of Lena Wyatt. (She let her hair grow out in preparation for this job). Also energetic poundings on the copy chute by the pressmen downstairs, com- bined with loud shouts of We want more copy by Mr. Dill, the energetic faculty supervisor, may be heard. About 4 o ' clock, the paper is gener- ally locked up and put on the press. Pessimistic remarks concerning the ap- pearance of the sheet can be heard from the staff members as they stand around and wait for the first copies to come off of the press. They generally are greatly relieved when they see that the paper looks as good as ever, and they pocket their free copies, still wet with ink, and leave for the day. The Kansan this year has a very ef- ficient staff. It is headed by Bill Blizzard, editor-in-chief, who, as was said before, is in charge of the editorial policies of the paper. He is assisted by Leslie McCalla and Lorene Miller. Managing-editor Wyatt is the supervisor of the whole news staff and with them, her word is law. As her chief assistants she uses Max Moxley. campus editor, whose official duties are to serve as a sort of miniature managing editor: Rutherford B. Hayes is make-up editor and on his shoulders rests the respon- sibility for the appearance of the first page: Margaret Boast, society editor; Carolyn Harper, Sunday editor: Allen Merriam, sports editor; Iris Olson, ex- change editor, and George Lerrigo. night editor. These are not the only ones who put out this famous, or infamous if you will, paper. Campus women are doing a lot of harm to that old saying of some unidentified publisher that the news- paper is no place for the weaker sex. Some of the girl reporters who are doing their share in turning out the paper are, Lorene Miller, Alice Cos- andier, Elma Carey. Genevieve Horn. Julia Markham. Lucy Trees. Catherine Penner. and Anne Hubbard. Some of the men who are still strug- gling to keep the fourth estate a mas- culine proclivity are Joe Doctor. Elton Carter, Charles Brown. Ed Willeford. Wesley McCalla, Jack Penfold, Harry Valentine, Delmar Curry. Joe Pryor. Bob Patt, Bill Decker. Theno Graves, but not forgetting the one and only Bill Blowers, who guides the destinies of the Sour Owl as well. Now for the faculty. Although the Kansan is supposed to be student su- pervised, the faculty lays a gentle hand on it at times, if merely to blue-pencil an unsolicited damn. Professor Flint heads the faculty with his soft-spoken mannerisms and philosophical sayings. His class lectures are filled with his years of newspaper experience, and often prove to be unexpected fountains of wit. He is perhaps one of the few professors who takes a genuine interest in his students after they graduate. He trys to see that they get a good break when they go out into the cold, cold world. Prof. Flint has charge of the back office while up in the news room is Mr. Dill, okaying the news. He is a curly black haired dynamo, whose chief delight is in scooping the Lawrence Journal X orld. even if it is onlv on a two-bit society item. He is equipped with a specially built chair which will take care of the bouncing he gives it when copy is late. Often a good portion of the paper comes from his pen. hen copy on the campus is scarce, he al- ways seems to be able to get a story somewhere. Keeping the editorial department in an iron hand, is Dr. Mahin. the only woman instructor in the department. She is the terror of all persons who turn in late copy, and has a good deal to say about the editorial policies. Then there is Jack Kistler. who helps run the journalism press, and also has charge of several classes. He is dubbed by the students with the highest of all honors, that of being a swell guy. Mr. Lee. a doctor of philosophy from Yale, is a new addition to the depart- ment, and has already become quite popular. He is a handsome man and his classes are full of girls. Tough, he is already married. Quentin Brown is in charge of the business end of the daily, and has about as complete control of it as any student has ever had. He is assisted by Elton Carter, and these two boys can be seen most any time of the day. going from business house to business house, in search of ads and more ads. WRITING THE KANSAN NEWS THE JAYHAWKBB The K. U. Stadium; battleground of the Jayhawkers. Each fall all eyes turn to this stately coliseum in anticipation of the battles to be fought within its walls. Its ivy covered entrance is fast becoming one of K. U. ' s most attractive land marks, and is indeed a Filling home for Kansas athletes UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Th e crowd roars BY CHARLES RANKIN A short, frank description of the cheering situation at the Kansas games . . 7 : . E ERY succeeding year it is becom- ing more apparent that the old adage about experience as a teacher does not apply to the type of student who attends Kansas University. At any rate, the pedagogical abilities of Old Man Experience must have undergone a degenerative metamorphosis since the advent of such a teacher in disproving old theories anyway, so it probably does not seem at all strange to some student body who actually have a de- sire to be cheerleaders. However, since the general consen- sus of opinion seems to be that the job of cheerleader is the Hill ' s most thank- less task, and that the position is be- coming more thankless every year, this writer at least believes that cheerlead- ers do not learn by experience. And where, you may ask, is the evi- dence for such a statement? To those who attended the annual cheerleader tryouts held in the sta- dium, the answer is not only apparent but is even axiomatic in its truthfulness. For the number of aspirants for the various cheerleading jobs had not di- minished in the slightest, nor had the anxiety of the candidates decreased, even though the sole reward of last year ' s incumbents was a series of Bronx cheers and catcalls from the crowd, together with a feeling of jus- tifiable pride in having given their utmost in service to an unappreciative Alma Mater. Although it may be a sacrilege to say it, there are, nevertheless, some who attended the annual tryouts held this year whose frank opinions were that the tryouts were a joke. These dis- believers will insist that the committee members did not take their responsibili- ties seriously. And it may be said in support of such unorthodox statements that the method used by the committee was not conducive to unbiased selec- tions. Stuffing the uncounted ballots into the pockets of the voters, for in- stance, does not lend assurance to the possibilities of a fair election. It is a strange fact, therefore, that when the final counting was done, the SEEING THE TEAM OFF FOR TULSA results were not only representative, but in the main were quite satisfactory. Hans Pfuetze, the committee ' s selec- tion for head cheerleader, is an experi- enced cheerleader, having served on the staff since 1932. But even more to his credit than his years of experience is his infinite patience with a crowd that many times becomes sullen and refuses to cooperate. His ability to take it in this respect would undoubtedly qualify him for the job of orchestra crooner provided, of course, he could sing. His directing is smooth and rhythmical: this fact, together with his tempera- ment, give him excellent qualifications for his position. The junior cheerleaders are Clyde Nichols and Ray Anderson. Nichols was a sophomore leader last year and should be a good yell leader this year provided he can learn to control his temper in the face of indifference from the cheering section. Anderson is at- tending the University for the first time this year. His leading looked good to the committee, but nothing further can be said until he has had some experi- ence in the stadium. He served as var- sity cheerleader at Northwestern last year, and so his patience with a Kansas rooting section is still a question. The University of Kansas boasts one of the finest university yells in the country, and it is really a shame that it should be wasted on such an unappre- ciative student body. The Rock Chalk ' was written in 1866. and since that time has been the official yell of the Uni- versity. Kansas men have used this chant not only on the athletic field, but also on the battlefields of the Boxer Rebellion in China, and the World War. With capable cheerleaders, and fine yells, the only place that blame for poor support of the school can be laid is on the student body as a whole. CLYDE NICHOLS HANS PFUETZE RAY ANDERSON Government of the men BY LLOYD METZLER THE JAYHAWKBB Inside dope on how the men on the Kansas campus are ruled and an explanation of the Student Council ' s status TO THOSE inclined to scoff at stu- dent self government, the Men ' s Stu- dent Council at Kansas is an active re- futation of the claim that such govern- ing bodies are impotent and unneces- sary. Acclaimed by The National Stu- dent Federation of America as one of the most powerful student councils in the country, our men ' s governing body has at all times exercised its varied powers and prerogatives with discre- tion and good judgment. The functions of the council might be categorically enumerated, but such a list would be productive of nothing so far as explaining the true purpose of student government is concerned. Suf- fice it to say, therefore, that the Men ' s Student Council is one of the two official bodies whose chief function is the crystallization of student opinion. This student opinion as exposited by the council is to be found in the bills, reso- lutions, motions, and suggestions of council members. In recent years there have been some critics inclined to question the indepen- dence of the council. These critics view the bills and resolutions of the council as products of the school administra- tion passed upon by a subservient group of council members. The absurdity of such rn argument will be at once appar- ent when the method of selecting coun- cil members is analyzed. ' Our men ' s governing body is com- posed of 24 members, all elected from various school constituencies. First of all there are those members elected from the entire student body. This group includes the president, vice- president, secretary, treasurer, two year representatives-at-large, and athletic board representative. Then there are the representatives of the various schools, including six college representatives, three from the School of Engineering, and one representative from each of the professional schools. Elections are held annually in the spring of the year. Candidates are selec- ted by the Pachacamac, Oread, and Kayhawk. In addition, any student has the privilege of running as an indepen- dent candidate through the method of petition. It is the custom for the politi- cal parties to present in addition to their candidates a platform or tentative program which the candidates pledge themselves to follow if elected. When the question of representation is thus analyzed, the assertion that the student council is a tool of the admin- istration becomes ridiculous. The demo- cratic method of council selection as- sures that the council will reflect true student opinion irrespective of the po- litical party in power, or the issue at -stake. The only basis for such criticism then seems to be that the council and the administration are frequently in agree- ment on matters affecting student wel- REED VORAN Vice-president KEAN TILFORD Secretary I.LOYD METZLER GUNNAR MYKLAND President fare. Such a situation does not in any way indicate that the council is subser- vient. Indeed, it would be a most dis- heartening spectacle to see the council and the Administration continually at swords-points. Such disagreement would indicate either a rebellious and com- munistic student body or a tyrannical administration, neither of which is found at Kansas. The natural result of a sympathetic and democratic administration and a representative student council is a con- structive and harmonious program of cooperation between the council and the administration. Such a situation pre- vails at Kansas. There has been a tendency of late to use the council ' s financial statement as a criterion for determining how worth- while it is and what its shortcomings may be. It is not only futile, but often absolutely misleading to judge the coun- cil thus. The yearly financial statement is no more a complete picture of the activities than are the resolutions and bills which it passes. Each bill, each resolution, and each financial statement is merely a part of the picture. Those who attempt such an analysis are con- fusing the governmental functions of the council with the benevolent func- tions of a private charitable institution, which the council does not claim to be. UNIVERSITY OK KANSAS The fact that most of the council ex- penses are of an organizational na- ture does not constitute an indictment of student government; most of the more important activities of student government are those which do not in- volve any cash outlay. Dreamers and idealists, with their heads in the clouds, may advocate the abolition of the democratic student council. Perpetual reformers may burn with patriotic zeal for the forma- tion of a new and saintly political party with the less pleasant aspects of poli- tics removed. But without intending to be invidious, it may be said that such illusions are productive of nothing so long as the dreamers continue to hold themselves aloof from the forces of true representative student government. Whatever the faults of student govern- ment may be. they are the faults found in any democratic and representative governing body. And those who would abolish the council are assuming that democracy as such is doomed to fail- ure. Such an assumption should not and will not be countenanced by the student body at Kansas. At the present time one of the prob- lems which has been harassing the coun- cil is the question of freshman hazing. Petitions requesting council action on the matter have been circulated and presented to the men ' s governing body. Opponents of paddling have char- acterized the practice as brutal, bar- barious, antiquated, and unnecessary. On the other hand, some members of the council have maintained that paddling is the only practical means of preserv- ing the freshman cap tradition on the Hill. The vituperative manner of many partisans on both sides of the question indicates that to some extent the whole matter has become nothing but a petty fight involving personalities. For this reason, the council decided that the expedient thing to do would be to submit the question to a plebiscite of all the men students on the Hill. The popular vote on the problem will carry with it finality that no other action could be expected to possess. Further than this, the personalities of the agita- tors on both sides will not affect the result to a very large degree. No doubt the council will be accused of dodging the issue and of failing to assume responsibility. But the accusa- tions will be made by those who are dissatisfied with the results of the elec- tion, and not by anyone who honestly believes that there was any lack of re- sponsibility shown by the Men ' s Stu- dent C ouncil. There was entirely too much heated discussion of the question to permit of a solution other than the one finally adopted. In its efforts to promote school spirit and to increase the prestige of the L niversity. the men ' s council recently impaired the condition of its treasurv by appropriating $409 for band uni- forms. This unprecedented expenditure indicates that at least some members of the council must be disciples of the New Deal fiscal policies. Indeed it is to be hoped that such an extravagance will not force the council off the gold stand- ard. If not. perhaps the budget can be balanced at a later date, and the coun- cil may then proceed as usual. It is too early in the year to predict what will be done by the men ' s student council before spring, but with such embarrassing questions as the student activity ticket settled at least tempora- rily, there is every opportunity for con- structive legislation.

Reforming the varsities BY BOB LAMAR TIIIO JAYIIAWKEU IN this modern day of six dollar activ- ity tickets and fruit chewing gum, a great curse has descended upon our balding beans. Thrills, risks, and death defying adventure has become our goal, and such has been achieved in all its fury in the form of the Saturday night varsity. It has been my fortune to have close contact with this great indoor sport for many years now, (darn that grade point ruling, anyway) and I have studied it closely. Let me quote from a lecture of my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Arbuthnot, whose greatest bid to fame is his long and involved volume, Ethics and Technique in the Raising of Pedi- greed Undersized Newts. He says, In this great era of the Bessemer Steel Converter, we must admit that, after all, the Week End Varsity is the Week End Varsity. (This, I might explain, is the only mention he has ever made concerning our charming little prob- lem). And so, after these many years of hard work and honest endeavor, (I ' ve been reading Alger again), I have de- cided to present a series of reforms, my motto being Make Safety Week Last a Year. I am rather proud of this motto, since it came to me one night as a sort of inspiration while the Phi Gams were serenading, and when you can be inspired at a time like that you have plenty to be proud of. The first of my reforms I have titled the Space Allotment Plan. Clever, what? It has always been a great deal of risk for the dancers in trying to force an opening and run (a new type of dance step invented especially for this purpose) for an apparent hole in the crowd. Such a hole very seldom materializes, but the futile attempt to approach this mirage often ends in seri- ous injuries to the parties involved. My plan is a simple one. A small box would be placed in front of the band, this forcing about a dozen stags to move back, and in it would be small slips of paper, on which would be written such phrases as From Agnes to the Broken Bottle on the Floor, From Broken Bottle to Stag Leaning Out of the Window, (there always is one), From the Group of Delta Taus in the Corner to the Grinning Fresh- man, (there always is one), etc. Each of these landmarks is a permanent ob- ject, and thus a definite space is marked off for the couples drawing their slips from the box. I have decided that a space of about ten feet square would be ample room for twenty-five couples after considering the conditions prevail- ing at present. Thus, according to the space allotment plan there would be no more danger of being knocked down and trampled. As an extra assurance of bodily safe- ty I would suggest the enforcement of a speed law of three miles an hour, ex- cept in the cases of Delirium Tremens, St. Vitus Dance, and Tiger Rag. I would also, under my Elimina- tion Program, (Clever, what?), rid the week-end varsity of a few of the disturbing and nerve wracking elements that are so prevalent today. A rag, well soaked in chloroform, will do the trick. I have listed a few of these to be elimin- ated below, and if the editor would let me I would leave a blank page or so which ' you could fill in according to your own ideas. 1. The wretch who insists on sing- ing the lyrics to each piece played while you are dancing with her. Only by the elimination program can she be silenced from her out of tune blubber- ings. 2. The funny man with the loud tie who wants to lead the orchestra. 3. The rat who follows you around the floor and cuts in before you ' ve taken a single step. 4. The fiend who introduces the girl he ' s been dancing with for the last six dances, and then walks off, leaving you holding the sack. (Or bag, if you will). 5. The harpy who describes her last night ' s date all the time you are danc- ing with her. And it ' s usually plenty long. Of course there are many others, a few of the classifications including whole fraternities, but we must not be too discriminating or the stadium would never be paid for. My next reform is the Introduction System. (Clever, what?) This would avoid much of the agony connected with the week-end.

The football season opened aus- piciously with a victory over Warrens- burg and a tie with Notre Dame on the Ramblers ' home grounds. Next the Jay- hawkers travelled to Tulsa where a powerful Golden Hurricane took the wind out of the Jayhawk sails. This cannot be counted as a disgrace how- ever, as the Tulsa eleven was one of the most outstanding teams to take the field during the entire 1933 season. Next came a spirited game with the Kansas Aggies with the boys from Manhattan going home with the prize as the result of a break which was taken advantage of by the McMillin men. Statistics show that this was a very hard fought and close game with honors practically even. Oklahoma was the next team met by the Jayhawkers, and the Kansas eleven came home with the Sooners holding the long end of a 20-0 score. The final defeat of the season came to the team PAUL HARRINGTON at Lincoln where the Kansas gridsters were the victims of a powerful Husker eleven, one that lost only one game during the entire season and that to the mighty Pitt team. ' Following this series of defeats came a series of three victories for Lind- sey ' s men with two coming in three days. Iowa State was the first victim of the Kansas winning string followed by Missouri, traditional rival on Thanks- giving day. The next day the Jayhawk- ers travelled to Washington. D. C.. where they administered defeat to a Co- lonial eleven slated to win over a weary- Kansas team. The season ended a suc- cessful one with the records reading five victories, one tie. and four defeats. Possibly the most outstanding player during the season was Pete Mehringer. who was given honorable mention on several All-American teams. During the Christmas holidays began a basketball season that proved to be the start of a fourth successful march to a Big Six championship for the Kansas five with only two defeats to mar an otherwise clean slate, those to Nebraska in the first conference game of the season and another at midseason. Kan- sas ended the season with a record of seven non-conference victories as against no defeats and a record of only two defeats in conference play. During the season three players proved outstanding, Ebling. a recruit from the 1933 freshman squad, proving the outstanding player with Big Six scoring honors going to him. Wells, and Harrington were the other players outstanding for the Jayhawkers with the whole team showing a marvelous spirit of cooperation and outstanding team work at all times. Thus was written an- other story of Kansas basketball su- periority in the valley. Cunningham and an outstanding Jayhawker track team provided the high lights of the 1934 track season with Cunningham alone setting the pace with the breaking of three world ' s records in various meets. Added to this was the addition of various meet rec- ords to Jayhawk stars and a Big Six championship in track at the meet held in Lincoln. The Kansas Relays again ORMAND BEACH provided the highlights of the track season with the special mile between Cunningham and Venzke being the out- standing feature with victory going to the Jayhawker Express. Worthy of note although following the regular track season was Cunningham ' s 4:06 mile at Princeton run against Bill Bonthron and Gene Venzke for a new world ' s rec- ord. The 1934 track season will linger long in the memory of Kansas sports followers with the memory of that great individual performer. Cunningham, lingering even longer. Wrestling, tennis, and swimming came in for their share of the lime- light with the Kansas mat squad experi- encing one of the most successful sea- sons that it has enjoyed in several years. Although the wrestling record is not phenomenal, it is nevertheless outstand- ing at Kansas where wrestling teams have not been of good quality. The matmen lost four matches, tied one. and placed fourth in the Big Six meet with individual honors going to George No- land with the Big Six 145-pound cham- pionship. Prospects for the 1935 sea- son look brighter than they have for a considerable length of time.

THE JAYHAWKER The university backfield BY WILLIAM UTERMOHLEN They do the blocking some of the kicking, but their chief job is calling signals TO THE older students at K. U., the groups of persons and the indi- viduals who comprise the administra- tive organization of the University are already well known, but to the fresh- men and other new students the people who direct its many divisions and ac- tivities are, for the most part, still un- known and unappreciated. Behind the office doors of these administrators are not merely boiled shirt fronts or im- personal, awe-inspiring, and aloof ex- ecutives. Far from it; for in these of- fices any student can find courteous men and women whose aims and pur- poses are to help him as much as- they can. The only administrative group with which the student ordinarily does not come into contact is the highest one the state Board of Regents. The Board of Regents, which governs the five state schools, has been instru- mental in helping K. U. to its high po- WILLIAM L. BURDICK sition in the academic world. Although its personnel and organization have often changed, the board has been satis- factorily carrying out its duties since the founding of the University. Through times of depression and of deceptive prosperity the board has controlled the finances of K. U. with efficiency and wisdom. The present set-up of the board was made by the legislature in 1925, after experiments with multiple boards had produced friction and political con- siderations had begun to influence the choice of members. Nine men now serve on this board, and receive no salary for their work. These men are appointed by the governor for four year terms. Two appointments are made yearly and three new members are appointed every fourth year. Politics is supposed to play no part in the operation of the state schools, and the membership of the board is about evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. The present board is made up of four attorneys, four newspaper . publishers, and one banker. The journalists are C. M. Harger of Abilene, chairman of the board; Drew McLaughlin of Paola; Leslie Wallace of Lamed; and Oscar Stauffer of Arkansas City. The lawyers are Fred M. Harris of Ottawa; Dudley Doolittle of Strong City; Ralph T. O ' Neill of Topeka; and Bailie Wag- gener. The banker is W. D. Ferguson of Colby. Half of these men have been students or teachers at K. U. Little needs to be said about Chan- cellor Lindley and his work. Besides his duties as general administrative head of the University, Dr. Lindley acts as her ambassador and proponent. It is his job to connect an impulsive and enthu- siastic student body with a public that often needs to be convinced that their school taxes are not being spent in vain. After fourteen years of weathering the storm the chancellor is as smiling and capable as ever. Serving under the chancellor are a group of extremely valuable personages who administer several more specialized fields of work. Although the average student sees little of them, they are al- ways at his service in the ways in which they can help him. The first of these is Dr. William L. Burdick, vice-president of the University. Dr. Burdick acts as formal head of the University in the chancellor ' s absence and performs whatever duties are assigned to him by his superiors. He has received degrees from Wesleyan University, the Univer- sity of Chattanooga, and Yale Univer- sity. He came here in 1898 as profes- sor of law and has been vice-president since 1916. Dr. Burdick has attained recognition as a legal authority and au- thor as well as an educator, and is now acting dean of the school of law. ' Every new student, whether he knows George O. Foster or not, has at least been through his office during the hec- tic registration period. Mr. Foster has been the University registrar for thirty- six years, and has evolved the fearful and mysterious processes of registra- tion and enrollment which we students endure with varying degrees of patience. In spite of the many responsibilities and time-consuming details of his work, Mr. Foster is always friendly and cordial to all students. He is entitled to GEORGE O. FOSTER UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS RAYMOND F. NICHOLS his smiles, for has he not the goods ' on all of us? All the voluminous infor- mation cards filled out at registration finally come to rest in his office, as well as the schedules so laboriously figured out during enrollment. Like- wise, into his office come all the records of our scholastic accomplishments or failures. His records are capable of es- tablishing our reputations or of blast- ing them. There is no use in trying to deceive him; for like a fortune teller he knows all and (worse still) can tell all. Mr. Foster is the first point of contact of many students with K. U. He re- ceives their transcripts and checks them, and issues the permits to matriculate. He is the one responsible for the in- formative and extremely cheerful let- ters sent out to new students, inviting them all to pay him a visit. It is rumored that in the fall of ' 32 two freshmen did, and found out that Mr. Foster was human and not merely an animated information bureau. Paying a visit leads to the thought of paying fees, and in this unhappy pro- cedure all of us must put in an appear- ance at the business office. This im- portant unit of the University is pre- sided over by another well known ad- ministrator Karl Klooz, bursar. Be- cause we suffer financially practically every time we visit his office, Mr. Klooz is not as well known or popular among us as he might be. Of course, if he and his subordinates did not go through the process of extracting our money from our banks to his someone else would have to do it, but we still blame Mr. Klooz. Like Mr. Foster. Mr. Klooz is cordial and energetic. He has been bursar for over seven years, although his period of service with K. L . extends back to 1918. Mr. Klooz is necessarily endowed with no small business ability in order to successfully carry out all a bursar ' s work. The collection of fees, although it means so much to us. is only a small part of his work. The business office has charge of athletic association re- ceipts, student loan funds and some scholarship gifts, student organization treasuries, and administers the federal relief funds and distributes the school ? payroll. It compensates us slightly for our fees by returning what is left of laboratory and equipment deposits. The business office keeps all the finan- cial records and purchases all school supplies. Both Mr. Foster and Mr. Klooz have encountered unusually difficult prob- lems in their work in recent years in keeping the enrollment as high as pos- sible and in guiding the University fi- nancially. In meeting these problems and in overcoming them both men have been aided by loyal and efficient staffs. One of the better known of these staff members is Mr. Charles McCreight in the business office, who has charge of the student organization funds, and so KARL KLOOZ is well known to student treasurers and business managers. The fourth of the administrative group serving under the chancellor is his executive secretary. Mr. Raymond F. Nichols. Mr. Nichols is compara- tively new in service, having begun his work here in 1926. In his undergraduate days at K. U.. Mr. Nichols had a career probably never equaled by any other student. He was editor-in-chief of both the Jayhawker and Daily Kansan. presi- dent of the Men ' s Student Council, and was elected to Owl Society. Sachem, and Phi Beta Kappa. As a fitting climax to these honors he was given the Honor Award in 1927. In his office as execu- (Continued on page 58 1 THE BUSINESS OFFICE COLLECTS FEES 88 THE JAYHAWKER Campus governesses BY MARGARET JENNINGS An explanation of the work, the aims and the personnel of the Women ' s Student Government Association TWENTY-FIVE years ago the Board of Regents gave the women of the University of Kansas permission to try self-government for one year. If this project was successful, they would con- sider giving it a longer try. The success of this venture can be ' measured today by the fact that W. S. G. A. is celebra- ting its twenty-fifth anniversary this year. Most all of the students at Kansas Uni- versity are aware of W. S. G. A ' s. pres- ence, but few of them realize its impor- tance in the Hill ' s welfare. Matters are handled so capably or so quietly by this group that it is really unobtrusive (which is certainly a point in its favor). The amount of business the council has to take care of would astonish the aver- age student who thinks W- S. G. A. is just a social club. Not all of the busi- ness is so thrilling either just plain, ordinary, everyday things that are shoved onto the council to take care of. However, some projects are a joy to our hearts and chief among these is the W. S. G. A. Book Exchange. This is not a profit-making venture for all proceeds are put into a fund which from year to year collects so that it can operate even after a poor year. The sole aim of this exchange is to make it possible to buy your old books at a reasonable price and to sell second hand books to stu- dents who cannot afford new ones. Another of W. S. G. A ' s. projects is the annual musical comedy. Although this is the council ' s one money making scheme it is always such a success every year that people attend it for entertain- ments sake rather than to help the council. It is written and staged entirely by students and the results are astound- ingly good. Don ' t miss it this year! To a Hill coed Wednesday means two things the teas and mid-week varsity. W. S. G. A. is a sponsor of both of these mid-week occasions. Although the council itself doesn ' t serve at the teas each time, it sees that some organized house has charge. A real effort is made at these teas to introduce girls to each other and many feel that there is more to be gained from them than just tea and cakes. A few of our other projects are: the issuing of the student direct- ory, awarding of a cup to the winner of the campus problem speaking contest, scholarships, and in case you have for- gotten, W. S. G. A. is still supporting the activity ticket! And who is on this council? The tall girl with the friendly grin is our president, Peg Sherwood. Because she has such a faculty for getting along MARJORIE HUDSON Vice-President ANNIE GREEN Secretary MARGARET McNOWN Treasurer MARGARET SHERWOOD President with everyone does not hinder her abil- ity to present things in a straight for- ward manner. Peg is a busy girl but council comes first she is never too busy to care for the most trivial matter. It is a pleasure to be presided over by Peg, and the girls discuss problems in an informal and easy way under her guid- ance. Marjory Hudson, who is a good example of W. S. G. A ' s. high standard of personal charm, is our vice-presi- dent. Second vice-president is Mildred Ingham who also represents Y. W. C. A. on council. Annie Green does the sec- retary ' s hard job efficiently and wil- lingly. Margaret McNown, treasurer, never has to be reminded a second time to take care of a bill. Pat O ' Donnell is point system manager. Jerry Gaut is not only Fine Arts Representative but also social chairman. Jerry ' s pep is helping to make the teas and other functions big successes. Billie Tindal ' s place will soon be filled on the council. Mary Lou Becker, senior secretary, finds it difficult to be so active both on the council and in Fine Arts. Winifred Koenig and Kathleen Teagarden are junior class officers. Barbara Goll, sophomore vice-president seems to get so much pleasure out of being on the council and Betty Tholen, who is on Jerry ' s social committee is a valuable member. Margaret Jennings is freshman vice-president and Becky Newcomer is the freshman secretary. Dorothy Lewis is Corbin Hall ' s representative and Lydia Brocker represents the girls at Watkins UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Hall. Last, but certainly not least is Edith Borden who is undertaking to manage the book exchange this year. It ' s a hard job, isn ' t it, Edith? A word about the W. S. G. A. elec- tions. Except for the freshman officers who are elected in November, officers are elected in the spring by popular vote. A special convocation for women is held when anyone who wishes may put up a candidate. These candidates are required to attend two election teas so that the college women can see who they are voting for. But outside of that, there is no electioneering. We know it ' s fun to hand out pink handbills and slander our neighbors in no uncertain tones at torch light parades, but some- how we ' ve never switched over to the men ' s methods. Our political system may not be thrilling, but we believe it puts the people ' s choice in office and after all isn ' t that the aim of a fair election? We are terribly proud of Dean Hus- band and we like to think she ' s proud of us too, but don ' t get any fake notions about the council being run by her. Her influence is most certainly felt, but it is a very subtle influence and let it be known here and now that she doesn ' t attend our meetings and hold a rod over us! She likes to think that the women of Kansas University can rule them- selves. We are fortunate in having three ad- visers who are really interested in W. S. G. A.: Miss Morrison, Miss Neuen- schwander, and Miss Meguiar. They are always willing to act for us in a social or advisory capacity. If you still aren ' t impressed with W. S. G. A. drop in on one of our regu- lar Tuesday night meetings. You ' ll find a circle of girls discussing things easily and in a friendly way. For the most part, problems are dealt with directly and easily, but occasionally one arises that causes a little controversy. Then you will see that we have spunk too. But being a council member isn ' t an unpleasant job. Reluctant as some are to admit it, being on council is fun! With your help and cooperation this twenty-fifth anniversary can be the best year ever. For after all, the council exists for you, and you make possible the existence of the council. The following creed is the one that is followed by the women of the University. The creed has been in use here at the University for a number of years. The Kansas Woman ' s Creed: I believe in the women of the Uni- versity: in their ideals and sincerity of purpose. Because I am one of them, I will strive to be open-minded and charitable. I will be honest with myself. For then it follows that I be honest in my class work and with other people. I will support the activities of my University in a spirit of service. I will remember that I am primarily to study and to learn to think. I will take time for friendship and pleasure in simple things. I will broaden my sympathy and in- terest to include life which is outside the campus. Above all, I wish to make my stand- ards such that I would be willing to have every woman on the campus adopt them as hers. This creed, as is, is the one that all women of the University should know and follow in order to get the most possible out of her stay at the Univer- sity. Back Row. LEWIS. GREEN. McNOWN. JENNINGS.

CORRESPONDENT Restless Wind The wind has a restless sound tonight, Rustling through the trees in the soft moonlight. It has a melancholy sound As though it wished that it were bound For distant places. Even as I Feel restless and wish and sigh For lands afar with spicy scents, Of people who live in sprawling tents. There is a path that vagrants tread, Where comforts are few and scant is bread. But the thought of food is the smallest care When you see a sunset beyond compare, Or know the love of a dusky maid, Or hear the clash of a warrior ' s blade. The wind has a restless sound tonight As for distant lands it takes flight And leaves me here with longing soul. Tied, hearing the knell of romance toll. Norman Jacobshagen Fires There is a fire that serves as beacon light; There is a fire that burns unto itself; There is a fire that robs and seeks for pelf; There is a fire that dies ere it burns bright. Our life is good or bad, seems long, is brief. Tomorrow will our good or ill be wrought, Or else, perchance, life is not worth much thought, Or falls confounded in the clutch of grief. And Someone said long since, Let your light shine, And others say, Seek joy in lust or art, Or, as a beast of prey, go seize your part. And many are cast down, and make no sign. Alfred Ames A Prayer Oh God, I want the will to fight So that I might not ever shirk My tasks or be a parasite, Sustained by others ' deeds and work. I want to form a plan or thought; To be a part of this great land Not some machine which is but wrought And guided by another ' s hand. But most of all, my God, I plead That I might love and comprehend The little faults, the sometimes greed, The greatness of my fellow men. Charles Haward To Edgar Guest At times your metre is bad, At times your rhyme is not true; But how I wish that I had The fortune of knowing you.. Oh there are poets whose works Are greater and sublimer; But through the songs of few, lurks A theme of love that ' s finer. Charles Haward Song There is a solid sky above me, There is a firm damp earth beneath me, And what have I to fear? Far below lies the hazy future, Far below lies the hopeful future, And what have I but cheer? As long as the birds sing by the road, And the ironweed blooms beside the road, So long as joy ' s in my heart. I ' ve a good true friend who knows my soul, And a steady faith that strengthens my soul, Happiness is my part. Alfred Ames Sonnet II Tuesday ' s Child Is Full of Grace White is the foam of skirts, and tossed about In frothy motion, hiding muscled thighs Whose long-knit sinews weaving in and out Bewitch the hungry rhythm-loving eyes Of those who cannot dance. The spring time strength Of lines connecting collar-bone and chin Is scarcely sweeter than the wreathing length Of arms through which the head turns out and in. The head turns out and in, the mouth is set The features coldly lifted toward a light Whose radiance in the gleam it lends seems wet As ever tears could be a tearful sight To watch a body poised in studied grace Surmounted by the show girl ' s hardened face. Catherine Marsh God and My Mind God, you and I alone reign here, Together, We will exclude All hateful, envious, impure, revenge- ful thoughts, And let emanate beautific serenity. Our work is mutual: Without Your aid I am helpless; Without my willingness You forbear Your presence; But together, We will make this world a paradise. Through misfortune, sickness, death We will remain calm and placid. How can adversity disquiet us? We are masters here. Charles Haward UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS The chancellor ' s reception BY CHARLES ZESKEY, JR. THE JAYHAWKER P ESPITE the fact that such a story L as this is supposed to laud its sub- ject to the high heavens, I see no reason for bold prevarication where it is not absolutely necessary. On the other hand, uncalled-for debunking is equally out of order. All of this prologue because the an- nual reception of the chancellor of the University in the ballroom of the Union building the night of September 22nd was an outstanding failure as parties go. It should not be criticized, probably, on that basis, but inasmuch as it was pri- marily a dance and not a reception it must rise or fall on the entertainment it provided students, new and old. It is too bad that a reception, unadulterated by fifth-rate music, carinot be held be- cause of the attitude of those in attend- ance, but it is true that every pill that is to be swallowed by Kansas Uni- versity students must be sugar-covered to such an extent that its efficiency is reduced to less than nothing. It is the privilege and duty of every student to meet Chancellor Lindley and of Chancellor Lindley to meet every student. In itself, then, the annual reception serves a very definite purpose. That purpose was evidently overlooked when more than half of those who at- (Continued on page 59) AT THE CHANCELLOR ' S RECEPTION The opening varsity BY HORACE HEDGES VARSITY night ....

AMES A frank but unbiased discussion of men s politics on the K. U. campus DOES K. U. need a third political party? Well, what do you think? The political situation on the Hill un- doubtedly needs something it doesn ' t have. Why a student government at all? A study of the financial statement of the Men ' s Student Council for 1933-34 does not give much enlightenment. Aside from the financial support the council gives worth-while student publications such as the K-Book, the Student Di- rectory, and the Jayhawker, the records reveal practically no expenditures aside from those incurred in the organiza- tion ' s being an organization. By this I refer to the handling fee of forty-five dollars, the purchase of a typewriter, insurance, NSFA dues, telephone, adver- tising, postage, eighty-nine dollars for council keys, two hundred and fifty dollars for convention delegates, and costs of electing the bunch of figure- heads. Including similar unpaid bills from the previous year, the expenses cited include ninety three per cent of the council ' s eight bandied and ninety dollar outlay for the year. All the above costs, excepting support to publications (less than two hundred dollars), were evidently of no benefit whatsoever to any students except those on the coun- cil. The remaining seven per cent in- cluding flowers, likewise did the stu- dent body little good. Now add the cam- paign chests of the contending parties to the -expense of student government. Is what we get worth the money? Con- sidering the present state of affairs, the answer can be nothing other than NO. Shelley, in his sonnet on Political Greatness, says of the politicians, History is but the shadow of their shame. That is true here, as elsewhere. That Pachacamac has the lion ' s share of the shame for wasting the possibili- ties, if any, of student government, may very conceivably be due to the fact that Oread-Kayhawk has the lion ' s share of the defeats. The lone year Oread-Kayhawk was in power was not particularly notable. It remains true, however, that O.-K. has had very little chance to show what, if anything, it could do. But the student council will go on. There may be latent possibilities in it. How can they be brought out? It is much easier to tell how they can ' t be brought out. It was Abraham Lincoln who said, No nation can en- dure half slave and half free. Another truism, but applicable. It is doubtful if conditions will greatly improve as long as forty-five per cent of the voters have no voice in student government other than a very faint peep. The sub- merged forty-five per cent has been un- der a long time, and naturally feels resentful. But if that group should be able to reverse its position, there would again be a strong, though largely un- represented, minority. Political slavery- is required of too many for student government to be the vital thing it should be. Neither of the two existing parties seems to offer a solution. A gorged Pachacamac sleeps on its spoils. Its platforms become weaker and weaker. Last year it had but the travesty of a platform. The plank on over-time classes is a laugh. Pachacamac has a long record of futile, ridiculous, and broken pledges. It has accomplished some things, of course, but the great marvel is not what it has done, but what it has not done. Pachacamac has degenerated into a robot, unintelligent, mechanical, carried over from year to year by the still moving flywheel of the previous year ' s victories. How long a period of impotence could Pachacamac survive? Oread-Kayhawk is developing a de- featist complex. It has won one elec- tion in its history its first. The party- bungled the only opportunity it has ever had. Long years of continued de- feat have tended to make the party noisy and not much else. Its program shapes up fairly well on paper. The longer one looks, however, the less im- pressive O.-K. platforms appear. To be sure, it has been long since Oread-Kay- hawks have had the opportunity to carry out their program. It would be interesting, at least, to see what the minority platforms would have amount- ed to in actual practice. But one can never know. The liberal party. ap- pealing to the clean-up, reform vote, and out of power, presents less the aspect of practical, not too clean, politics than does Pachacamac. Parties out of power are generally that way, not so much due, it is to be feared, to inherent goodness as to lack of tempta- tion in office. Pachacamac was surely- exaggerating Oread-Kayhawk ' s nobility. (Continued on page 65) THE JAYHAWKER ft m RUSHEES ARRIVE AT THE ACACIA HOUSE AT THE SIG EP HOUSE THE A. T. O.

CRUIKSHANK c 1 38 THERE is a marked difference be- tween going to a female seminary and a co-educational school, as you all well know. I, of course, was aware of the difference, but frankly had given it little thought. However, as the saying goes, one lives to learn. I have now dis- covered that the male, in general of course, tends to lose a great deal of his attractiveness when one is thrown in daily contact with him. All through rush week and enroll- ment I had looked forward to the first varsity, which was a pre-season affair. Until that time, I had been so busy that it was necessary to neglect my so- cial obligations, so you can readily see how I felt when the eventful day finally arrived. Set-backs began to occur however, early in the evening. In the first place, an active, (I hardly even knew the girl) borrowed the special party dress that I wa s saving for the occasion. When I missed it, she coyly came up to me and said, You really don ' t mind, do you honey? If I only weren ' t a freshman. The second blow came when my date arrived. It was one of those blind af- fairs, and he turned out to be an ill- favored youth with big ears, who boast- ed of the fact that he hailed from Rolling Prairie. He was of the would- be funny type, and wore a button for perfect attendance at Sunday School prominently displayed on his coat lapel. Imagine how I felt sauntering into the Union lounge with this .... I was surely glad to catch a few minutes to myself in the rest room, so that I could marshall my plans for the even- ing, which was already so horribly shattered by fate. After what seemed hours of danc- ing, I broke away and went out with Katie Kampus. Katie had a date with a darling black-eyed boy. I shot him one of my come and get me looks, and prayed that he would come around and save the day. After about five minutes, he did cut in, but it was like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. He was a horrible dancer, and as a conversationalist, he was out. I was more than glad when a cute blonde boy tagged me. His name was Ben or some- thing, and he was a beautiful dancer. ... HE WAS AN ILL-FAVORED YOUTH WITH BIG EARS . . . I made quite a hit with him by asking if he was on the crew. Don ' t get me wrong, I know they don ' t have a crew at Kansas, but then he was the kind that falls for this big boy and little beautiful stuff. Before the evening was over, I had a date with him for the fol- lowing week, but I found out later that even he had his limitations. Intermission followed the next dance. When Rolling Prairie rolled around, he seemed quite inebriated. Evidently he had been out smelling corks. As my dear old father used to say, Children should be kept away from liquor and matches. I never before realized how right father could be. Well, the last straw came when we went out to get cokes. After ordering and drinking, my fond date suddenly discovered that he had left his billfold in his other suit so it ended with my paying, not only for my own drink, but for his as well. After intermission, I danced with a lad that was a bit difficult to figure out. Heretofore, I had heard the his- tory of every best fraternity in the world. And then this interesting male turns up with a story about belonging to a mail order lodge. He said his or- ganization had a chapter in every col- lege in the country, that boasted an en- rollment of over 100 students. Accord- ing to him, charters could be obtained by filling out a blank and sending it in. I am sure he must have been fool- ing, although he really seemed quite serious. Anyway, he got little satisfac- tion from me. I just kept quite, and gave him a knowing smile. At twelve, the varsity ended, and I suggested, knowing the financial status of Rolling Prairie, that we go right home. Before we got there, however, he became quite sentimental, and I put up one of the swellest little fights that has ever been staged on this campus. Even if he had been an Adonis, the events of the evening would have made him most revolting. Well, believe it or not, that is a correct account of my social debut on the Kansas campus, and I think that you will all agree with me that it was most disappointing. On top of having a poor date, I didn ' t seem to be able to make the proper impression on the other men that I met. Even so, I learned a good bit at that dance, and by next Christmas I should know the ropes. Anyhow, I have spotted a swell dress in my roommate ' s closet for the next one and my days of blind dates are over forever I hope, so it might not be such a bad year after all. If anything exciting happens to me in the coming month or so, you can bet your life that you will hear from me in the next issue of the Jayhawker. But looking over it all, though, I more than realize now that there are several differences be- tween a school where there are gents and a female boarding school. Editor ' s Note: Teressa B. Cruik- shank, c ' 38, is a ficticious character who, through the combined efforts of members of the Jayhawker and Kansas staffs, has been publicized to an extent that her name is familiar to a great many students on the Kansas campus. Teressa will continue to tell of her ex- periences during her first year at the State University, in later issues of the Jayhawker. She is supposed to be a typical college girl, and the author of these stories on her life is constantly searching for new material to use in the portrayal. UNIVERSITY OP KANSAS ft? Presenting the deans BY WILDA WRIGHT ONCE it was said to be an evi- dence of good character NOT to be acquainted with the dean. In the sw r eet symphony of the college life of bygone days the dean constituted one sourly solemn note. He acted and dressed like the cartoonists conception AGNES HUSBAND of prohibition black suit, stove-pipe hat, overshoes and umbrella. He had a capacity for making virtue odious. He was a super-snooper and counted that day lost whose low descending sun saw no luckless undergraduate homeward bound on a one-way ticket following some infraction of the college rules. Strangely enough, it happened that some of these unlucky youths who in- curred the dean ' s wrath got the habit of turning up, in later years, in Who ' s Who, Wall Street, and the United States Senate. (One lad whose fresh- man year was beclouded by a condi- tion in English turned up in the White House!) Now, lessons like that can change any man ' s philosophy even a dean ' s. Today, instead of seeing how many students they can expel or dis- cipline, deans do their best to make stu- dent life more wholesome and agree- able. They are masters of discretion rather than discipline, and rely more upon tact than upon torture to achieve their ends. In short, they have become human. Consequently, today it happens that when advice upon social or extra-cur- ricular problems is required, students consult either Dean Henry Werner or Dean Agnes Husband. The complexity of university life make the duties of these two quite arduous. They are the ones to whom undergraduates turn when things go wrong. A list of the committees on which the deans serve would, on conserva- tive estimate, reach from Snow Hall to the Memorial Union building. Dean Werner, for instance, is chairman of the Student Activity committee, also of the Union Operating committee and the Joint Committee on Student Affairs. In addition to this, he is a member of the American Chemical Society, the Kansas Academy of Science and the University- Club. He is also associate professor of chemistry and Men ' s Student Adviser. Combine all these interests into one synthetic whole and you have a picture of the official dean. The unofficial dean is quite a dif- ferent fellow. He possesses a very keen understanding of people and is honest to a fault. He is a native of England, smokes a gracefully curved pipe and admits, upon questioning, having studied in the Liverpool Technical School, the University of Liverpool and the Physikalisher Verein in Frankfort, Germany. He came to the University of Kansas in 1920, received his Master of Arts degree here in 1928 and succeeded John R. Dyer in his present position in 1929. Even a dean has his private life. Dean Werner ' s may be summarized by a single word fishing. To be sure there was a time that he kept putting gayly colored Easter eggs in Dean Husband ' s car, and the time he sent a gaudily colored onion to Mrs. Werner explaining that it was a Temple Lily from China but let him tell the latter story himself, for the mere fact that he dares tell it is evidence that he is a master of tact! But these are mere in- cidents, for his real concern is with fish and fishermen. Here he has added a modern touch to a most ancient sport. Long before the Brain Trust at Wash- ington advocated cutting down the pro- duction of wheat, corn and Republican majorities. Dean Werner had applied the reduction principle to fishing. If you want to spend a quiet morning fishing; don ' t bait the hook. is his maxim. The story about the freshman girl who thought Dean Husband wrote Dorothy Dix ' s column because their pictures looked so much alike isn ' t true, of course. But there is a similarity in the variety of problems these two women are called upon to solve. Dean Husband not only seeks to become the personal adviser of every undergraduate woman but wisely devotes much of her time to the worries and perplexities of those entering the University for the first time. Dean Husband exemplifies the grace and charm for which university women strive. She is a native of Kansas and claims McPherson as her birthplace. Before coming to the University she studied at both Bethany College and HENRY WERNER Baker University. Her B.A. degree, however, was granted here. After gradu- ation, she became professor of voice at Stetson University, Deland. Florida, and later held the same position at the College of Emporia and at Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri. In 1921 she became assistant professor of voice in the School of Fine Arts and two years later succeeded Anna Dudly Blitz as dean of women. In 1927-28, she ob- tained a year ' s leave of absence and at- (Continued on page 60) 48 ass in review BY ROBERT G. BRADEN SIXTEEN Jayhawkers, representing the Coast Artillery unit at the Uni- versity of Kansas, attended the R. 0. T. C. summer camp at Fort Sheridan, Illi- nois, from June 16 to July 26. The Kan- sas unit ranked in the highest division, with units from the universities of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mich- igan, Cincinnati, Washington, and Kan- sas State College. The Kansas degree of preparation was officially classified as very satisfactory. During the six weeks period, the Kan- sas cadets were given the opportunity of seeing in practice what they had studied in theory. The latest methods of anti-aircraft defense were demonstrated by rotating each cadet in the key posi- tions. Instruction in the firing of the three inch Anti-Aircraft gun, the .30 caliber machine gun. and in the manip- ulation of the giant A. A. searchlights was furnished successively. The cadets also tried their accuracy on both rifle and pistol ranges. The .30 caliber army- rifle and the .45 pistol were the weap- ons used. Night searchlight maneuvers in the Skokie valley proved a thrilling conclusion to the summer camp. 1 The proximity of the fort to Chicago made possible a group visit of all cadets to the Century of Progress Expo- sition. They were also treated to a base- ball game between the Cubs and Cardi- nals at Wrigley Field. A highlight in week-end entertainment was the trip which the Kansans made to Milwaukee, June 30th on the occasion of the A. A. U. Track and Field Championships of America in order to witness the athletic performance of a fellow Kansan, Glenn Cunningham. Several of the Kansas cadets were honored during camp by being placed in positions of authority as cadet offi- cers. At the close of camp, Harold L. Smith and Herschel W. Schenck were given commissions in the organized re- serves. Following is a list of the stu- dents from Kansas University who at- tended the camp: Donald L. Alvord Fred Beard Robert G. Braden Nathan C. Cooksey Leonard T. Detlor Louis H. Forman Don B. Fullmer Roswell H. Graves Albert W. Hand Edward L. McCoin Howard E. Miller Theodore Neyer Herschel W. Schenck Harold L. Smith Edward 0. Willeford Kenneth Willey Engineers at camp BY RAY C. MORRIS EIGHTEEN Senior Engineers spent six weeks of their summer vaca- tions as glorified buck privates at the R. 0. T. C. camp in Fort Riley. When they arrived at the camp they were fed beans and outfitted for the hot weather with heavy wool shirts, shoes that weighed seven pounds apiece (without mud), leggings that only a magician could put on in the fifteen minute period between First Call and Reveille, and cotton breeches that shrunk two sizes each time they were washed. Being thus prepared for life in the raw, we began a period of intensive field training which consisted of bridge building, range practice, use of demolitions, gas demonstration equita- tion, and other military operations. Equitation, in case you ' re interested, is merely the care, cleaning, and riding of horses. We became so accustomed to riding that we were able to ride a couple of hours and then sit down on a canvas cot with a fair degree of comfort. One of the most interesting phases of the summer ' s work was the build- ing of a floating bridge across the Smoky Hill river. The river was at flood stage, and floating logs and debris made the work quite exciting. The pon- tons were shunted into place by an out- board motorboat, which cut the time required to make the 240 foot span to less than four hours. However, all of our time was not spent in the practical application of military engineering. On some after- noons we dozed behind colored glasses while our officers lectured on such sub- jects as mess management and the prob- lems of the military engineer. The rest we obtained in this way enabled us to spend our evenings in Junction City with some good friends and a stein of beer. We will always remember the formal parties with the officers resplendent in gold braid, the songfests and pep ses- sions, new friends, trenches and barbed wire, maneuvers, and a myriad of other pleasant experiences.

RUTH HOOVER Anyhoo, the new gals and many of the old ones had a good look-see at the Pow Wow at those activities of- fered to any woman interested in phy- sical education. But before we expound the program for this year it would be well to mention the fact that the Kappas more or less walked off with the in- tramural championship last year in spite of the staunch efforts of an inde- pendent group, the I.

Weel, to get back to the sports pro- gram which is sponsored by W. A. A. under the leadership of Thelma Humph- rey, president of the organization. The school year is divided into the sport seasons. Durin g the fall season, the sports offered included hockey, volley ball, tennis singles, horseshoes and handball. The winter sports are bas- ketball, basketball throw, deck tennis, ping-pong doubles, swimming and rifle. In the spring, baseball, tennis doubles, ping-pong singles, horseshoes and hand- ball are the sports in which one par- ticipates if she has survived the other two seasons. Jee mun nee and a couple of allez oops, but that looks like a tremendous lot to do! It is and this is where one begins to really appreciate Miss Ruth Hoover, director of the women ' s phy- sical education department. In addition to her regular faculty duties, she man- ages this extensive intramural program with such adroitness that it is a well- nigh perfectly executed program. In addition to the regular intramural and class sports program, W. A. A. sponsors a number of other functions throughout the year. Immediately fol- lowing the hockey tournament which closed in late November, a hockey feed is held at which the varsity hockey team is announced, new members are initia- RUTH DUNKLE ted into W. A.

Last spring, blazers were pre- sented to Elizabeth Moxley, Loize Montgomery, and Mary Virginia Smith. Loving cups were awarded to Helen Boman, Elizabeth Hinshaw and Mar- garet Walker. Then, just before Christmas, comes the Puff-Pant Prom. And that is the evening that all the men stay home and (Continued on page 56) COMPETITION ON THE BASKETBALL COURT UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 51 BY CLYDE M. REED, JR. Another pennant ALTHOUGH crisp autumn days and the thud of the pigskin are turning the eyes of sport to the grid- iron, it ' s not too late to get a final glimpse of the 1934 track -season of the Kansas Jayhawkers one of the school ' s most successful campaigns on the cin- der path. The scantily clad athletes who car- ried the Crimson and Blue to battle on track and field last spring surmounted practically every obstacle that was placed before them collectively and individually. The Bix Six outdoor and Big Six indoor titles were dangling from the belts of the Jayhawkers when the cur- tain was drawn on the season, in addi- tion to innumerable brilliant individual performances. Summing it all up in a few words, the Kansas team tasted de- feat but once, that being in an early season dual meet run under adverse weather conditions. Glenn Cunningham, peer of all the world ' s milers and holder of more records than you can count on all of your fingers, played a prominent part, to be sure, in the success of the Jay- hawkers, but he received able support from team mates who made up the well- rounded squad. Cunningham brought the Kansas sea- son to a spectacular and thrilling close when he eclipsed the world mark for the mile and turned the tables on his arch rival, Bill Bonthron of Prince- ton. The exploits of the Kansas ace will be chronicled in full in a later issue of GLENN CUNNINGHAM The Jayhawker. however, so let ' s get down to recording the activities of Kan- sas tracksters who scaled dazzling heights under the tutelage of Coach Homer Woodson (Bill I Hargiss. Capturing the indoor Big Six crown and the numerous jaunts to the East by- Cunningham, where he gained addi- tional fame in some heart-rending bat- tles with Bonthron, were the features of the indoor season. The Jayhawkers were somewhat of an unknown quantity when the time for the Big Six meet rolled around. Im- pressive performances by a half dozen or so Kansans brought the champion- ship to Mount Oread, however, with Oklahoma, one of the pre-meet favorites, finishing second, six points to the rear. First places were won by Cunning- ham in the 880 and mile run; by Elwyn Dees in the shotput; by Clyde Coffman in the pole vault; and by the mile re- lay quartet. Jayhawker track men also competed in the Butler relays at Indianapolis and the Tulsa Athletic Association meet, taking second on each occasion. The first outdoor competition saw the Jayhawkers come in second best in a dual tussle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln. Kansas lost by some 20 points, near-freezing weather causing Coach Hargiss to keep his men under wraps, so to speak. That loss was avenged, however, when the Cornhuskers. the Kansas State Wildcats, and Kansas tangled on the Memorial Stadium track, with the Jay- hawkers registering victories in the triangular count and dual triumphs over each of their opponents. Eddie Hall, the leading point-maker of the year, paced the Kansas squad to victory that day with 13 points, win- ning two firsts and a second, in addi- tion to running on the winning mile relay combination. Thirteen meet rec- ords fell by the wayside, with Kansas furnishing the principal assault on the marks. In their last dual test before the all important Big Six outdoor meet, the Jayhawkers turned in a 74 l 2 to 56 l 2 (Continued on page 68) K U ENTRANTS IN THE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET AT LOS ANGELES.

WHITE, CUNNINGHAM. 52 THE JAYHAWKER Campus polylogia says BY PHILLIP SPACE WE are unable to vouch for the truth of the following story but it is so plausible that we herewith retell it; it ' s all in fun, my dear Eu- banks. Ben Givens had succumbed to romance long enough to take Lillian Sands to a varsity. When intermission came Benny was dutifully seeking his date and found her talking to Flossie Kehl, Kappa pledge, who looks more like Sands than Sands does herself. Benny ' s eyes grew wide and he ex- claimed in a horror-stricken voice, Gangway, boys, gangway, I ' ve got ' em again! The time has come to assign, or at least make public for the benefit of the new sorority freshmen the traditional joints in which to take their cokes of an afternoon. The proper spots for the evening are well known, but to. date there has been a most deplorable lack of knowledge as to the appropriate hang-outs at other times. During the day one expects to see Thetas at the Cottage, Pi Phis at the Union fountain, Chi O ' s at Brick ' s, and the most ex- pensive places their deluded dates can be persuaded to take them. (Note: There are some other choice joy-joints around the vicinity, but, owing to the exclusiveness of their cli- entele their addresses will be furnished only on request and at a slight extra charge). The Thetas have about decided to put George Fry on a pension or hire him as chapter sponsor. Although Dorothy Foster is no longer in school, Fry still calls the house six or seven times a day, rushes over between classes to keep dates that aren ' t there and calls every Monday night for the week ' s orders that aren ' t forthcoming. The patience on Indiana is wearing thin and so is George; something must be done. In our role of the all-seeing eye and the un- knowing mind we suggest that Fry have one of his freshmen awaken him gently every morning and tell him politely but firmly that, Dorothy doesn ' t live here any more. When the Phi Gam pledges recently walked out with the Kappa hopefuls, they used a truck and hied themselves off to a certain grove where they had a picnic. It may have been a walkout to the uninitiated, but to us it smacks strongly of a wholesale induction into the custom of and preparation for the inevitable beer-and-blanket steak fries as practiced by the better people. The only thing to be said in their favor is that they actually consumed the food at the party and not before, as has proven to be the custom. Esquire says that careless combina- tions will be worn this fall: Here is our nomination for the Esquirest of them all. He wore tan-and-white sport shoes, with clog-dance heels, corduroys with a crease, shirt of the purest cerulean blue, white bow tie with a six-inch wing- spread and black polka-dots, and a rug- ged, mannish leather jacket, tailored to fit, which last is just the word for it. Ed Haren, one of the really big men at the Sigma Chi apartments on Ten- nessee, must have the ideal attitude toward his education. He has the finest four-year, four thousand dollar fresh- man experience in the history of the school. His size and durability have won for him the title of the Permanent Student Body. The principle source of the agitation against freshman hazing has been the ranks of those single-minded knights- errant who always rush to the aid of the underdog, but the present frosh seem to have found a new way of com- batting the swats. Two K-men were talk- ing it over in the Union fountain one day at the beginning of the season. They had the fierce look of frustrated hounds in their eyes. One of them let his ire rise to a dangerous pitch. It has me whipped! Every time I see a freshman he gives me the idea that he has learned all about the traditions and that if I am not careful he ' ll tell some- thing on me. There must be a Ghandi in freshman ' s clothing somewhere on the Hill. is one that somehow seems to rest on the school, even on the sacred person of a professor. It had occurred that the classrooms for Foreign Trade and Prop- erty Insurance had been changed, and one girl who was enrolled in the latter course carried on unknowingly in the former. She bought the text and studied it diligently. Three weeks passed until the morning when she blew the story. She approached the professor with a self-deprecatory smile and said, I never realized how thorough they are at college. Here we are studying Prop- erty Insurance and for three weeks we have been learning how the nations get the money to buy the property. Did you know that: Mano Stukey, one of Ad Lindsey ' s hard-running half-backs, bears the nick- name of Snooks ? That this same Stukey never enters a crucial game without the name Cuddy written in ink in a certain way on the calf of his leg? And that so doing he has never lost a game wherein he wore his talis- man? That Helen Smedley used to have a passion for driving her father ' s offi- cial car down a certain boulevard in Kansas City with the accelerator and the siren wide open? That Lyman Field worked in a packing house this summer and used to send la Ewers curly pick- led pigtails as a token of something or other? Most of the jokes that arise from the actions of the new arrivals are at the expense of those same people, but here It must have been generally noted that the various sororities were able to get this year the girls they wanted without undue competition; in other words that there are more and better girls in the present freshman class. It is because of this fact that there is a growing murmer of protest that may rise to a wail of chagrin, said murmer coming from the sophomores especial- ly. Picture this situation and judge the correctness of our story. Sophomore calls her most dependable left-over-love and describes in glowing terms the charms of several freshmen whom she wishes to have dates with his brother chumps. This time she is telling the truth, and her word commands belief. He agrees, Sure, I can fix all three of (Continued on page 61) UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS GONE . . BUT NOT FORGOTTEN H MARGARET GREGG PAUL BOREL HOWARD HOOVER HAROLD HARDING LILA LAWSON NED EMBRY 54 THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes BY HIM THERE are few men ' s fashions that attach more interest to themselves than the pronounced vogue for wearing odd jackets and slacks. It might be well to point out that the better dressed. men of the campus achieve that sobriquet, not from a wardrobe consisting of many and fashionable suits, but rather from the knowledge of combining a couple of suits, and an odd pair of slacks or two into several distinctively pleasing combinations. Thus, inex- pensively, a small wardrobe serves to provide its owner with a number of practical outfits. The trend toward rougher fabrics in combination with the patterns of plaid, checks, stripes and squares has cer- tainly been fairly definite during the past couple of seasons. However, to say that all one sees on the campus are Harris tweeds, Shetlands, Cheviots and Homespuns would be an exaggeration, but, at least, a pardonable one. Gene Haughey, Phi Belt, at the first varsity dance of the current season, ap- peared in a double-breasted grey Shet- land coat, in combination with grey club-checked trousers. These were real English slacks. About twenty-three inches at the knee and nineteen at the bottom. Another popular outfit seen on the Hill this month was worn by Paul Harrington, S. A. E. It was a bi-swing brown, basketweave, set off nicely by a starched collar shirt of blue, knit tie, and brown suede shoes. Jack Parks, well-dressed Phi Gam, seems to be one of the front runners of fashion. In other words, one of those fellows who wears the new things only while they are new. His latest was a three-button single-breasted, notched lapel jacket of Lovat Green, carrying patch pockets and a center vent. The shirt was a cream colored oxford cloth with attached round collar, and was set off by a gold club-striped red tie. The shoes were buck and the hat of rough scratch felt. But of greater im- portance than all, and a coming fash- ion, was the cream flannel waistcoat with brown over-check. A consideration of Norfolks turns the spotlight upon James Bo Murphy of the Sig Eps, who despite his portly tendency wears his very well. This is a three-button single-breasted coat, with all-around belt buttoning in front, and having a modified sport back. At the Mixer he wore a grey worsted Norfolk, in combination with large club check- trousers, a lavender tab shirt and black tie. Other important items of his outfit were the ankle-high suede shoes and horizontal striped wool hose, which, by the way, should always show when wearing slacks, despite the mass tend- ency to wear slacks with as much break as their narrowness will per- mit. Dick Newcomer of Sigma Nu has a very becoming suit of this type in a tan, cut on the sport principle with pleated patch pockets and sport back. This same jacket is also the basis of some pleasing combinations with odd slacks. Bob Black of Sigma Chi favors the corduroy jacket and has been seen frequently at the library wearing one. While this fabric is not strictly a dress fabric, it provides, in conjunction with odd slacks, a clever sports or informal outfit. Among the faculty style setters, R. S. Howey certainly can be ranked top- notch. He not only shows admirable taste, but in addition wears his clothes exceedingly well. His latest is a grey Cheviot of the Gable style. The trousers are also of the true English slack style. Mr. Howey ' s taste is further enhanced by the fact his knowledge of styles comes from a good deal of first hand knowledge. Ewing Herbert of Beta Theta Pi is another truly deserving consideration among those well dressed men of the campus. His new grey double-breasted (Continued on page 60) Wtatliitbe Gjeatiemen? ....

Fur Coats, $39. 75 to $395 Cloth Coats, $29J5 to $195 Third Floor eminine fashi ions BY HER STYLE! That is the undefinable something that clothes must attain to be considered smart. With more freshmen than ever before, there are more smart clothes to notice. Kansas University has long been known for the simplicity which the coeds display in their attire. A sophis- ticated simplicity is difficult to main- tain, but the girls of K. U. manage this problem with the greatest of ease, seem- ingly. Rush week brought out Betty Coed ' s new clothes, and the array of colors was indeed startling. Rust seems to be the most important and popular shade of the year. Betty Gibson of Kappa Al- pha Theta was seen wearing a suit of rust and black, which was very flatter- ing to her lovely coloring. The coat was of rust while the skirt black. A stunning rust dress we saw at the Mixer was worn by a Pi Phi, Betty Heaton. A large collar, trimmed in fur orna- ments, was the main feature of the dress. Jackie Roberts, of the new pledge class of Chi Omega, wore a dress of rust coloring trimmed in flowers dur- ing rush week. It looked charming with her titian hair. Fur seems to play an important part in the feminine attire this year. Kath- erine Kurd, new Kappa pledge, looked stunning at the Mixer in a fur trimmed dress as did Martha Nuzman of Pi Phi in a blue wool, trimmed in grey fur. Even formals are showing fur. Mary Jane Hoyland wore a blue formal dur- ing rush week with white fur covering each shoulder. Jean Haines and Betty Creager of Theta fame, seem to like plaids. Jean ' s dress at the Mixer was green wool with plaid sleeves, and Betty was seen with a plaid skirt and black wool jacket. Much of the sp ortswear for this fall is knit. Julia Markham of Gamma Phi Beta was noted wearing a bright blue knit that indeed looked smart. Suits seem to run to greys this year. Virginia Team, Theta rush captain, and Betty Lou McFarland have both been seen in grey fur trimmed suits, which are lovely. Tunics are smart again, we note. Lucille Bottom, pledge of Kappa, was spotted at the Mixer in a red tunic with a black skirt. Gertrude Field, Pi Phi pledge, wore about the smartest hat we saw rush week. A small brown felt number worn high on the head was her contribution. Nancy Calhoun, Theta pledge, wore a satin tri-corn, with the greatest of style. Mary Catherine Bennett, Alpha Chi Omega pledge, was seen on the campus in a brown felt, which was very smart. The hair under hats this year is short largely. There are no long bobs as there have been in previous years. Long hair done in braids and large knots is also very popular. Annette Lawrence, of Alpha Chi, looked very charming at a mid-week varsity recently, with braids around her head. Speaking of hair Laurine Linville, Gamma Phi, keeps hers looking the neatest of anyone we have seen. Fashions are as fickle as the Betty Coed ' s who originate them. These girls must have the knack to wear and select these clothes. Yours truly does not pre- tend to be an expert on clothes, but she will certainly do her best this year to give you her ideas as to styles. The girl who can select smart clothes should cer- tainly be given credit. It takes more than cash for clothing to be smart! THE JAYHAWKEB Women ' s athletic program (Continued from page 50) read good books while their one-and- only-best-suit-and-shirt-and-collar-and- tie-and-shoes-and-topcoat-and-hat- and - cane-and-so-on-ad-infinitum go out on anything but a masculine framework. And the following day is the day on which certain individuals of the sup- posedly hardier sex appear on the cam- pus with peculiar haircuts. Experience would indicate that it doesn ' t pay for a real man to attend the Puff-Pant Prom. And lastly, in the spring W. A. A. sponsors a Play Day for the high school girls from this section of the state. The attendance usually runs from 125 to 150 girls, not including their sponsors. The Play Day really is a quite worthwhile project, especially in that it affords these girls contact with other high schools and with the University. Quack Club, the women ' s swimming organization is, of course, closely allied with W. A. A. This year Quack has a good nucleus of ten full members about which to build. Tryouts under the direc- tion of Miss Hoover, sponsor; and Mary Virginia Smith, president of the club and a Major Quack; and with the as- sistance of the members; Helen Bo- man, Mary Bess Doty, Catherine Hart- ley, Thelma Humphrey, Carol Hunter, Edith Kennedy, Mary Ellen Miller, Elizabeth Moxley and Towanda Cab- bert have brought to the fore some very good swimmers. It appears that it might turn out to be a right auspicious year for Quack! Gals to the right of them gals to the left of them faltered and blundered! the them being members of Tau Sigma, honorary dancing organization, the gals being some seventy-five to eighty aspirants to Terpsichorean fame and the idea being to select those who did the least faltering and blunder- ing. Twasn ' t really that bad in fact rumor has it that this will be a good year for Tau Sigma from the stand- point of availability of good dancers, from the standpoint of the high degree of enthusiasm, and from the standpoint of the interesting plans which Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, premiere danseuse of the University and sponsor of Tau Sigma, has in mind for the year ' s work. Oh yes that Pyle girl the AOPi one that is such an awful dancer, is presi- dent of Tau Sigma. Lastly, in defense of Robinson Gym- nasium, the center of all this activity, the credit for all the creaks and groans issuing from that direction will have to be given to the rusty joints of those persons who, during the past few weeks, have resumed the use of muscles which they haven ' t been using for months, per- haps years and not to the building itself. Following the abolishment of compulsory gymnasium, the reaction was to shy completely away from even the idea of taking any physical educa- tion a typical reaction which follows release from any sort of compulsion or prohibition. Even the most loyal advo- cates of the values of physical educa- tion had to admit that during the year immediately following the abrogation of compulsory gym, the classes were practically microscopic in comparison with the classes of former years. This year, however, not only is that half credit that comes in so handy exerting its persuading powers but, also, people are realizing now that they aren ' t re- quired to do deep knee bends, enter a marathon swim, whack a hockey ball or interpret the flight of the junebug by flitting hither and yon that these things really are fun. Classes are defi- nitely much larger this fall for not only are many more people taking phy- sical education for credit but also more people are taking it without credit be- cause they enjoy it and because they believe that it benefits them in ways in which no academic subject can.

Delta Zeta and Sigma Kappa rounded in some Phi Gams and Phi Delts and, from all reports, threw a couple of nice parties. Here and there during the following week, the sororites invited the freshmen class of one or another fraternity over for an hour dance. By the time the open houses have run their course and the hour dances have died ouL there ' s no excuse for not knowing the Hill ' s theo- retically popular gals. The Betas entertained their freshmen the sixth with a house dance. I only know what I ' ve heard, and that ' s better left unsaid. The next evening Sigma Nu held forth in their house as did D. U. with a buffet supper. These buffet sup- pers appear to be becoming more and more popular as time goes on. The Sig Eps took their dates for a joy ride and steak-fry the same evening. Gosh, they ' re getting legal, now. Once upon a time, the w r ord steak-fry couldn ' t be mentioned in polite society above a whisper. And that concludes the first report of campus social activities.

CRESTING MADE TO ORDER ANY COLOR OR COMBINATION Your Personal Whims Catered TWO BOOK STORES 68 THE JAYHAWKER The university backfield (Continued from page 37) live secretary, Mr. Nichols acts as gen- eral contact man and channel of official action for the chancellor. He is a mem- ber of the University budget committee, and due to his executive position is one of its most influential members. Unfor- tunately, students rarely come into con- tact with Mr. Nichols, except at recep- tions and other social functions where his official presence is needed. The au- thor thinks these students are missing an opportunity to become acquainted with one who he knows, from personal experience, is always willing to be of as much service as possible to them, and one whose personal accomplishments are a challenge to us. Due to the nature of their work, these previously discussed officials (with, perhaps, the exception of Mr. Klooz) get little of the blame, which students are apt to pour out on someone when things go wrong, or when unpleasant situations arise. Listening to these griev- ances and the subsequent pouring of oil on the troubled waters are part of the duties of the K. U. arbitrators, Miss Agnes Husband and Mr. Henry Werner, deans of women and men, respectively. These hard-working guardians of our social life receive a great deal of stu- dent criticism, but they realize that the sentiments expressed are due to their offices, rather than to their persons. Dean Werner, as Men ' s Student Ad- viser, serves primarily as a source of advice and assistance to any and all men students. He is the man to whom they go for aid in the working out of the personal and financial problems which so often arise in college life. He gladly gives help to all, whether they come because of a personal problem or representing some organization. Much of Mr. Werner ' s work at the beginning of each year is the orientation of the new students in their unfamiliar en- vironment. What Dean Werner does for the men, Dean Husband just as capably does for the women. Dean Husband has many duties of a formal nature in her work. One of the most important is to compile the University social calendar and to ap- prove all student social functions. An- other is to oversee the social affairs of every woman ' s organization. The con- trol of the three houses for women, Cor- bin, Watkins, and Ricker Halls, is her ' s, and she has general supervision over all housing and living conditions of women. Dean Husband acts as adviser to every women ' s organization, and like Dean Werner, is a member of many committees pertaining to student affairs. She also serves as conductor of the women ' s glee club. No account of the University admin- istration would be complete without mention of the deans who preside over the various departments of the school. Probably the best known of these is Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Dr. Lawson is new to this position this year, but has been assistant dean for many years. His new assistant is J. H. Nelson, formerly of the faculty of the English depart- ment. The other deans and their re- spective schools are: George C. Shaad, Engineering; E. B. Stouffer, Graduate; F. T. Stockton, Business; R. A. Schweg- ler, Education; D. M. Swarthout, Fine Arts; L. D. Havenhill, Pharmacy; and, of course, Dr. Burdick, acting dean of the law school. This completes our review of admin- istrative personalities. We feel that we as students are extremely fortunate to have such a fine group of people for our advisers, helpers, and friends, and hope that our college lives and later careers will reflect upon them the credit and honor which they by their faithful service so richly deserve.

Tradition and personal contacts are what prevent a university ' s becoming an educational corporation. Personal contacts there were in abundance the night of September 22nd. for the ball- room floor was crowded so that no one could dance, even if there had been suitable music to dance to. The air cir- culation in the new hall is. of course, notoriously bad, but it reached a new- low that evening, and not a few were seen taking periodic time-outs to re- tire and gasp a lung-full of fresh air. As I remember it, the reception three years ago was held in the chancellor ' s home, and no pretence was made to it ' s being anything else. This year. I feel certain, an effort was made to improve upon it. but by unanimous consent the effort was a failure. If the students and the chancellor desire an annual reception as they should let ' s continue having it. not a cross between a reception and a varsity. Say, Feller!

Mix Already For Use Just Add Water only 15c At Your Qrocer THE JAYHAWKER Camp us clo thes ( Continued broken pin check emphasizes the trend in strictly dressy clothes. In addition to the regular number of pockets there is placed a small pocket above the right hand coat pocket which is termed a cash or ticket pocket. We have no de- sire to investigate Mr. Herbert ' s finan- cial condition but for the most of us this would mainly serve as a ticket pocket. While in strict style terminology the double-breasted coat with a bi-swing back has no definite classification as either dress or sport, it certainly hands one an opportunity to be conservatively different. And it is gaining consider- able favor. Reed Voran of the Delta Shelters wore this at the mid-week of October 3, in an oxford grey home- spun. While the homespun seems to have been monopolized by the Belts to a certain degree, it is nevertheless a mighty classy fabric and one which will be seen a lot. This same fabric in a steel grey bi- swing is being worn by Les Hoover, Phi Psi and lawyer. The trend toward the lighter greys and away from the ox- fords should here be noted. While it is in no way a fast trend, it can be said to be a part of the general trend towards lighter colors and more color in men ' s apparel. Before long, the formal season will be upon us. This will be marked by a great increase in the double-breasted Tuxedo with the high -rise, pleated trouser. Furthermore, do not be at all surprised at the appearance, and quite correctly let us add, of strictly formal evening clothes, with tails ' n everything. At least one of the local haberdashers from page 54) is showing them and reports some sales. The patent leather dancing slip- pers, however, will have as a substitute, the kid leather, soft toe, oxford which is both comfortable and sufficiently correct. Dress shirts are being shown again in the more comfortable, pleated fronts. The same trend toward pattern and rough fabrics, evidenced in suitings is being carried out in the topcoats. Wrap- arounds and the new pleat-wrap, carry- ing a fairly large pleat downward from either shoulder, in the back are both very practical from a comfort standpoint, and as well, are just right for almost any occasion. For the for- mal occasion the more fitted, blues, blacks, and oxford greys in either single or double-breasted models are correct. As for hats, they are in the vanguard of fashion in the new shades of green and grey for fall. Both the bound and raw edges are being shown and worn. The new streamline snap brims, seem to have the consensus of favor probably because of their jaunty appearance so well liked by the college man. For the more conservative the Momburg cer- tainly lends that dressy touch and is often seen in good company. For the next issue, we hope to be able lo bring you more and better news of what the Hill ' s men are favoring.

The following incident appears to be the height of something or other. A God-like fraternity senior was reminisc- ing about himself to several frosh as a means of bringing in a little history of lodge and school. He began to moral- ize and warn, concluding with the ad- juration that in a fraternity house it is wise to guard over one ' s property with the eyes of Argus and the ears of a cat. Suddenly a bitter memory seemed to goad him beyond all restraint. He smacked his hand down on the table and roared. Why you can ' t tell what those wolves will do next! Some double- crossing snake here at the house has even started stealing his own stuff back! Campus polylogia says- (Continued from page 52) late, clinging in a pseudo-sophisticated manner to the arm of an awkward and pledge-buttoned freshman. The bearer of the torch sped around the final turn and gave the flame into the hands of the waiting dignitaries on the platform. She bit her lip for a moment in puzzle- ment at what was being symbolized and then exclaimed triumphantly, I got it! I got it! That ' s supposed to be Diogenes hunting for an honest man! The palm for illogical deduction goes to an unnamed frosh at the induction ceremonies. She had arrived somewhat One of the most touching customs of the University has even now begun to insinuate its way into the lives of many- deluded students. The idle sons of the rich who burst upon the campus in the fall with shiny new cars are the fol- lowers of this practice. As soon as the necessary amatory arrangements can be made, they turn the car over to the one-and-only of the moment. From that time on their independence ceases. Laura Jane Lattner lets Quinlan use his car to play golf twice a week, but then she always appeared to have a generous nature. Louise Eviston permits Melville R. Sands to drive his car to class every day: She is new at the game and may be expected to crack down any time now. If there is a man with a car here who hasn ' t gone in for this sort of thing we bet that he has some- thing: of which even his friends won ' t tell him. The first mid-week varsity was en- livened by the appearance of an ob- vious freshman wearing a turtle-neck sweater. If he were imitating la Gable the guise was too subtle for the other victims, and anyway, the only crowd he could have attracted would have teen stags, who are as numerous and rs important as the freshmen who over- run the Pi Phi house. Susie Stadium at my elbow cracks that perhaps his new fraternity brothers liked his ties too well, but anyone having the courage to wear a turtle-neck to a dance could even retain ties in a Greek-letter boarding- club. Some Facts and Figures During the past few years, the national income has been sharply on the decline, but the cost of government has continued to mount ominously. For example, in 1913 the cost of govern- ment per family was $121. In 1923 it was $290; in 1932, $450. When city, state and national legislatures are levying new taxes continually, it is natural that the taxpayer should view with alarm any attempt to foist additional tax burden upon him. Privately owned utilities pay taxes to schools, to the city, county, state and national government. When a city goes into business as it does when it undertakes to operate its own utili- ties, it does not pay taxes. This lost revenue must be made up by other taxpayers, and thus the tax rate is boosted. American citizens owe it to themselves to be familiar with the dangers threatened in a municipal ownership of utilities. Kansas City Power Light Co Kansas City, Mo. THE JAYHAWKEE Football for ' 34 (Continued from page 13) rado game during the portion of time alloted to him. When Coach Lindsey, in trying to experiment on a stronger line, substituted another for Tiny ' s position, the Coloradoans, who should have felt accustomed to the mountain- ous characteristics of his size anyway, were greatly relieved no doubt. More than just a word or two should be reserved in commenting upon the new crop of sophomore backs. In early season performances, their play has been flashy, if somewhat inconsistent. The Kansas grid mentor hopes to incor- porate consistency into their sudden ground-gaining tactics and at the same time he would like very much i f they would forget all about being thrown for a loss. Indeed, it is only through experience that they may become well- versed in the art of gaining with the ball, and the 1934 Kansas football schedule offers enough laboratory re- search as a basis for improvement. In the regular backfield, there is a promising outlook with the addition of Nesmith to the lineup. His last year ' s record has already been mentioned pre- viously, and this year looks wholly as bright. Fred Harris who replaced him in the Colorado game gave a fine ex- hibition of long distance punting. In that same game, Pete Peterson seemed to be in almosf every play r as evidenced by the muddy uniform he was wearing. He did some fine tackling and blocking. Mano Stukey, the only neophyte in a veteran lineup for the opening game, got away for a ' few nice gains which reminded a few fans of his fellow townsman, Ray Dumm, star back of last season from Hoisington. Bob White, the diminut ive K. U. quar- ter, adds a sparkle to any game. Just recall last year ' s game with Iowa State at the local stadium. In that game White was a constant threat and furnished more than the opposition expected in tricky piloting. His nice twenty-yard run in the season opener is just a sam- ple of what will follow in the next few games. In fact, White was the only spark in the monotonous opening con- flict which called forth any enthusiasm from the listless crowd. It might be added that in between White ' s exciting runs the crowd again grew somewhat apathetic, arousing itself at times to emit some such pun as a Colorado Counter attack or the Drain in the Colorado line, from which one is to gather that these were the names of two of Colorado ' s worthy crusaders. Every one of the linesmen were vet- erans in the opening game in Sep- tember. Whether all of the veterans can resist the newcomers competition will remain for the season to decide. The competitors will have to be good to VITAMINS A AND B replace us, the linesmen say. And they are not boasting. If the backfield is light, the forward wall is heavy by comparison. Early season workouts in- cluded a specially built blocking ma- chine designed for two pugnacious linesmen presumably taking out a single opposing player. This intricate device .lasted but one-half of the first practice session when it was splintered into bits by aggressive Kansas linesmen. No mere wooden frame could prove an ob- stacle for long against the dynamic thrusts of the heavy Kansas forward wall. With such veterans as Clawson, Dees, D. Nesmith, B. Hammers, Sklar, McCall, Phelps, and Watkins getting to work is it any wonder the poor machine had to submit. At this point in the season, it is a difficult problem to make any forecasts as to the future outcome of the Red and Blue for 1934. A great deal of veracity of such a gesture would lie with the comparative excellence of the opposi- tion. Even the early season reports es- tablish the merit of the teams which are to engage the Jayhawker in grid- iron battles this fall. Nothing short of a super team would be needed to run through the season without a defeat. In Big Six circles, Nebraska and Okla- homa have been given pre-season choices for favorite positions at the top of the heap. Their reserve strength has been a big item in their favor. The small Kansas aggregation suffers some- what by comparison to the wealth of material other schools may have. But the age old complement to a lack of quantity has remained in quality. The smallness in the number on the squad roster will be forgotten if the team as a fighting unit so decrees. Recently, Kansas has had few super teams in football. It has remained for Kansas to dominate the basketball field. Two of last year ' s championship team baske tball men, Dick Wells and Gordon Gray, have decided to give football a try. Perhaps they are emblematic of the winning Kansas spirit which may be transplanted from the wooden boards of the enclosed court to the turf of the open gridiron. The resume at the end of the reason will show whether or not their action has been prophetic.

Secondly, the party in power, Pachacamac, Oread- Kayhawk, or dark horse, must be of a different nature than that which past councils have represented. Can a new representation system be inaugurated? Can the existing parties clean house and offer something really worth while? Could a third party do anything but split another and lead to one-party valk-aways? Judging by the past, prob- ably not.

(Continued from page 30) The swimming team also experienced one of its most successful seasons in recent years, winning three out of four dual meets and placing fourth in the Big Six meet competing again st a very fast field. In this meet five records were broken. The 1934 tennis squad ably main- tained the high standards set for former Kansas net squads with only one defeat in dual matches during the entire sea- son. The entire season was marked with brilliant play, the Jayhawk racquet wielders losing the Big Six champion- ship to Oklahoma by a margin of one point. As in basketball, so has Kansas led the way in tennis, with prospects of repeating again in 1935 with only one member of the team lost through graduation. When the records are gone over and the ledger balanced it will be apparent that the 1933-34 sports season was as successful a one as has been the lot of Kansas athletes in the past few years. May we continue to improve and inject more of that fine Kansas spirit into the sports contests of the valley.

Sportswear, Second Floor, Walnut Reforming the varsities (Continued from page 32 ( This reform would be managed quite simply, the entire matter being left in the hands of our dear chancellor and his staff. We would need only to en- large upon the present identification card system and let each dancer wear a huge card, to be gotten in the base- ment of Ad. around his or her neck. The picture and name would make in- troductions so much simpler. No num- ber need be present in this case. As things are now, a typical introduc- tion usually goes. Mr. Symptqthf, may I present Miss Mumspth. (I know she should be named first, but then we col- lege students always say To Hell with Emily Post, rah. rah. (. After such an introduction it is necessary to call your partner Miss. ' Hey you. or Dar- ling. as the case may be. With the University identification card hung around each neck, and the name BraJlev or something written in six inch letters, there ' s not a chance of your missing the name of the person you are likely to have to dance with for the rest of the evening. It also al- lows the stag to cut in on some new angel visiting, no doubt t and. since he knows her name, tell her that he met her at an open house. Of course, if she is really beautiful and doesn ' t have buck teeth or lisp or limp he will be out before he has taken a step, but this is one of the disadvantages of the week- end varsity that cannot be avoided. Another of my reforms would be the Registered Date Reform. ( Clever, what? I This change would be a great boon to the unfortunate chump. I mean young man. who takes a very popular date to the heartless week-end var- sity. With this idea, we would have a large board on which would be the name of each of the girls attending. There would be several columns fol- lowing these names, and they would be headed. Out At, With Whom. Which Field, In At, and Re- marks. Here again I would suggest the use of my clever little motto, to be placed at the top of the board, Make Safety Week Last The Year Around. Also, under the remarks column there should only be room for Yes and No. The advantages of such a system are obvious. When some Sigma Chi takes your date out for a coke (weak one I you at least know where she is, and that she ' ll be sorry. Also, she has no need to worry about your losing your head and jumping from the window onto Mr. Union ' s terrace below. There is also the dangerous sport of running for the door at intermission. Of course there is no particular point in such a procedure, though it is rather nice to be able to say. Why we had our engine started before you had even opened your door. ' I have decided to reform this state of affairs also, and have named my reform the Retarding System. (Still clever, what? Or is it? Quite a few plans are necessary to stem the tide of this mad crowd of (words fail me I . These plans are enumerated as: 1. Little litters of puppies would be placed in several piles around the dance floor just before the announcement of intermission. Then, when the band stop- ped playing and everyone was ready to leave, the crowd would be divided in half, the girls running to the puppies and mumbling baby talk while the dis- gusted men walk out. 2. A few of the superfluous drunks would be placed on small cots around the floor so as to attract the attention of part of the crowd, thus again lessen- ing the number of sudden leavers. 3. A few loud voiced men or boys ( preferably D. Us. I would be placed in each corner (no doubt they ' d be there anyway I and at intermission would veil Fight, fight! This would also draw part of the crowd from the door. There are in this reform as many plans as there are dancers whose feet don ' t properly match, and so I have decided to quit here. Sorta like stop- ping at nothing. And thus would I reform the great old institution known to us college kids, hey hey. as the week-end varsity. These reforms would certainly make a saner and safer varsity, but perhaps, as some have already suggested, they would not be as popular because of the lack of danger and breakneck thrills. THE JAYHAWKEU Another pennant (Continued from page 51) decision over a time-honored foe, Mis- souri, Hall again leading the victors in their conquest. How would the Jayhawkers fare in the 1934 Big Six meet? That was a question that was on the lips of all conference track followers. They re- membered the 1933 battle when Kansas won an overwhelming number of first places, only to lose because of a de- ficiency in second, third, and fourth positions. The Jayhawker cinder artists answer- ed that interrogation with a surprising decisiveness when the circuit ' s athletes gathered at Lincoln for the annual chase for the gonfalon. As the dust settled on the Cornhusker cinder oval and the smoke of the en- gagement had cleared away the Jay- hawkers were in possession of the 1934 championship, having compiled a total of 7 l 2 points to 55Vz for its nearest rival, Nebraska. Oklahoma was third and Kansas State got fourth place. Nine firsts and a tie for another first were the principal accomplishments of the Kansas team in the meet. Here ' s how the firsts were divided : Hall, 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, broad jump, and anchor man on two relay teams, one of which, the mile crew finished first. That presents some highlights of the Kansas track season. Of course, there was the Kansas Relays, when the cream of stars from the Middle West com- peted here for honors. And then the PAUL HARRINGTON Cunningham, 880-yard run and the 2-mile run. Dees, sh ot-put, in which he estab- lished a new conference record of 50 feet, 1 and % inches. Paul Harrington, new record in jave- lin throw of 208 feet, 11 and %, inches. Mile relay team, composed of Schroeder, McNown, Graves, and Hall. Gray, Coffman, and White, tied with Lyon, Iowa State, for first in pole vault. CLYDE COFFMAN Drake Relays, in which a number of Kansas team members participated, and finally the National Collegiate Athletic Association meet at Los Angeles, in which six Kansas men qualified. Al- though the majority of the Jayhawker representatives placed, Kansas was well down in the scoring list, the competi- tion being much stronger than that which it had contended with in earlier parts of the season. Our national chancellor (Continued from page 11) students take all their meals at the cafe- teria, except on Saturday night and Sunday, at the rate of $2.50 a week, and the meals are arranged so as to form a well-balanced diet. The University of Kansas has been particularly concerned with the care of her students, but elsewhere in the United States students have been benefited. The total number aided last spring was 75,- 000. That the CSEP has been a success is self-evident. Educators all over the country have reported that results have far exceeded their highest expectations. Authorities at Washington consider the CSEP one of the most successful of the relief plans. There is small wonder, then, that K. U. looks to her chancellor with pride and esteem. His work in the CSEP has brought nation-wide honor to the University.

St. UNIVERSITY OK KANSAS BY JOHN CHANDLER To Dr. Frank Strong n memory of a great leader, a brilliant scholar and an excellent lawyer ON August 7 of this year, the Uni- versity of Kansas lost, through death, one of the most dearly beloved faculty members. Dr. Frank Strong. Dr. Strong, former chancellor of the Uni- versity, had been in failing health since last Thanksgiving, when he suffered a severe heart attack. At that time, he was on a year ' s leave of absence from the University. Dr. Strong had cele- brated his 75th birthday anniversary the day before his death. Last spring, he was reported as gaining in strength rapidly, but early in June he suffered a relapse from which he never re- co vered. He was buried at Auburn. New York, his birthplace. Dr. Strong came to the University in 1902 to take over the position of chan- cellor, and for eighteen years was the executive of the University. During his time as the head of the school. K. U. expanded greatly, the enrollment in- creasing from 1,300 to over 4,000. and the number of faculty members from 90 to over 250. During the regime of Chancellor Strong, the University car- ried on an extensive building campaign which added the engineering building, with all of its laboratories, the geology building, the law building, Robinson gymnasium, and the first wing of the administration building. Prior to the building of these new structures, old Snow Hall, the Spooner library, Blake Hall, the Fowler Shops, the old heat- ing plant. Fraser Hall, and the chan- cellor ' s residence constituted the do- main of the University. During his tenure the plot of ground now occupied by the Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City. Kansas, was donated to the University, and the Dyche Museum and chemistry building were completed. He was responsible, not only for en- larging the teaching staff and adding improvements to the campus, but he also obtained for the instructors a fund to take care of retirement allowances and leaves of absence. In 1920 Chancellor Strong was suc- ceeded by Ernest H. Lindley as head of the University, and from that time until his death was a professor of con- stitutional law in the K. U. Law School. He received his law degree from Yale in 1884 and taught in the Auburn. N. Y. schools for a year. Later for two years, he was a member of Crosby, Rusk, and Strong, a Kansas City law firm. He left this firm in 1888 to be- come principal of the St. Joseph. Mis- souri, schools. In 1890. while still in St. Joseph, he married Evelyn Ransom. After four years at St. Joseph, he was appointed superintendent of schools at Lincoln, Nebraska, but left that posi- tion to resume his studies at Yale. In 1897 he was granted his Ph. D. degree there, and for two years was a member of Yale faculty in the history depart- ment. He was appointed president of the University of Oregon at Eugene in 1899 and served there until he came to Kansas in 1902. While at K. U., Chancellor Strong was responsible for placing Robert Duncan, the first industrial chemistry- professor in the country, on the K. U. faculty. Professor Duncan served here until his industrial research attracted the attention of the Mellon interests in Pittsburgh, and so he went there to be- come the head of the Mellon Institute. During the World War, Dr. Strong was a leader in the civilian efforts to increase the nation ' s food supply. He served as a member of the state council for defense and also aided returned soldiers in finding employment. He was chairman of the local committee to raise funds to aid the Armenians. He was an advocate of the plan for growing vege- tables on the K. U. campus in order to provide fresh food for the S. A. T. C. stationed here, and in 1918 he attended a conference to further the establish- ment of Y. M. C. A. camps on the bat- tle fronts. Dr. Strong was one of the main speakers on the U. S. war pro- gram for the people of Kansas: in 1918 he was appointed a member of the advisory board of the Junior Plattsburg training camp which opened at Platts- burg. N. Y. Dr. Strong was a contributor of es- says and book reviews which ap- peared in the American Historical Re- view, the Yale Review. New England Magazine. The Nation ' s School and Society, and the proceedings of the American Association of State Univer- sities. In 1916 he served as president of this latter organization. Dr. Strong had obtained nation-wide recognition as a brilliant scholar and a diligent worker. He was an authority on constitutional jurisprudence. He gained his knowledge in this field not only from texts but also as a prac- titioner. His services at the L T niversity are sorely missed and he will live in the memory of Kansas graduates and under graduates for many years to come. Tributes to Dr. Frank Strong The following tributes to Dr. Strong were paid by his close associates soon after his death: George O. Foster, registrar: In the passing of Dr. Strong the University has suffered an irreparable loss. Noth- ing could be more appropriate than this from the Scriptures: ' A prince in Israel has fallen this day . Dr. W. L.

BY BOB LAMAR A well written comment on The Ghost of the Campus , an article appearing in the current issue of Esquire IN a recent issue of Esquire, many of us were somewhat shocked upon reading the highly entertaining article, The Ghost on the Campus. The pub- lishing of such an article is an open affront upon the educational modes of today. The subject of ghost-writing for college courses is looked upon by the collegian in much the same way as the mid- Victorians considered sex. Its exis- tence is granted ; its open mention taboo. But The Ghost on the Campus, by Denis Coughlin, who claims to have had almost ten years experience in ghost-writing, has brought this delicate subject to the fore. Indeed, he follows his theme with such ardent enthusiasm that one not versed in the art of college living could easily visualize the uni- versity town as a community of coke drinkers and bar flies, everyone doing little else than paying tribute to some creative overlord who in turn serves his parasitic public by intermittently turning out a copious supply of re- quired papers. The list of courses for which Denis Coughlin has written covers practically everything that a college has to offer, it is explained to the awed reader. Surely our own mid- western University is accustomed to no such extremes as these. It is true, of course, that occasionally a student finds it necessary, or sim- pler, to find someone better versed in literary technique to act as ghost-writer for a required, (and sometimes late), paper. Still more often does the Eng- lish student reach deep into the briming theme barrel, so eulogized by fra- ternity and sorority members each rush week, for a paper written several years before, a paper which will, with very slight revision, excellently fulfill the professor ' s assignment. Also, it is quite natural that in every group there is at least one individual who has a certain amount of talent along literary lines, and who is usually quite willing to sug- gest, revise, or even write a class re- quirement. But the alleged volumes of work produced by the collegiate ghost- writer, according to Denis Coughlin, are certainly non-existent in the colleges of this section of the country. Mass production is an industrial concept, not an educational one. Says this Esquire article, Ghost writing with a college faculty as an au- dience is an old institution but it is not an accepted one. Such is the logical attitude of one who writes from a point of view which has apparently been born of having written four papers a day, ( and still felt, in the end, full of energy. ) But we of this University can see no reason for denying the existence of our insignificant portion of ghost- written papers. We, students and pro- fessors alike, accept this educational phenomenon as an immaterial and un- alterable trifle. No doubt such an attitude would seem odd to Denis Coughlin, self- termed professional ghost-writer. Per- haps it is our middle-western sense of obligation, our provincial desire to do our own going to school, or our in- ability to realize the advantage of not having to study for a college degree that would make our position seem un- intelligible to one who has had the schooling of Denis Coughlin. Neverthe- less, it is true that there is no place on the Kansas University campus for a professional ghost-writer. A C.S.E.P. position would certainly be much more remunerative. And so we feel that Denis Coughlin has spoken for only a small portion, if any, of the colleges in the United States. His concepts are far from ap- plicable to our own University. The clearly defined campus ghost of The Ghost on the Campus and the intan- gible, ethereal being flitting along the borders of the K. U. campus can be considered together only as one being the direct antithesis of the other. THE JAYHAWKElt To Dr. Frank Strong (Continued from page 69) Dr. Strong ' s passing is an irrepar- able loss to the University and the state. His life was an inspiration to thousands. His great services as chancellor and law professor, his nobility of character, his devotion to duty, will be treasured memories in the hearts of faculty and students. E. B. Stouffer, dean of the graduate school : Those of us who came to the University as younger members of the faculty during the administration of Chancellor Strong received inspiration and guidance from him which we shall never forget. His cordial greetings and his friendly grasp through all the years will long be treasured memories. Doctor Strong ' s high, ideals, educa- tionally and otherwise, his unusual ability as an administrator and teacher, and his unceasing devotion to the Uni- versity as an institution for the training of the youth of the state, assures for him a place of high distinction in the annals of the University of Kansas. Chancellor E. H. Lindley: The University loses one of the commanding figures in its history. Dr. Strong served 18 years as chancellor and 14 as professor of law, 32 years of devoted service to higher education in Kansas. His administration as chancel- lor brought remarkable expansion to the institution in range of studies, in faculty, in student enrollment, and in buildings and equipment. As professor of law his stalwart character and breadth of outlook made a deep impression on all who sat in his classroom. Above all, Dr. Strong loved the University and wrought to the end with devotion for its advancement. He was my loyal friend, whose wise and magnanimous counsel will be sorely missed in the coming years. The Uni- versity and state will cherish the mem- ory of this great builder. W. E.

WILBERT Business Manager Now that the holiday season is nearly upon us, we offer to you as our Christmas greeting, the second issue of the 1934-1935 Jayhawker. The Christmas issue carries many in- teresting articles, written by the most outstanding of student authors. We open with And the Year Goes On, an article which was written by Julia Markham. This story tells of the Hill ' s outstanding events which have hap- pened during the past two months. It is well written, and shouldn ' t be over- looked. Along the line of special features for this issue, we offer you quite a collec- tion of interesting articles dealing with the leading problems among the stu- dents, and also some of our leading celebrities. First is a story written by- Alfred C. Ames about the student life of Governor Landon. In this story Ames pictures the chief executive as he was when he was a student here at the Uni- versity. Then Vernon French, whose writings have become quite familiar to Jayhawker readers, does his bit in pay- ing the respects of the student body to Dr. H. P. Cady, head of the University chemistry department, and who, through his wide knowledge of the field of chemistry, has been rated among the nation ' s foremost scientists. An article was especially written to open, or re-open as the case may be. the eyes of the powers-that-be to the dire need of the University for a men ' s dor- mitory. One of the Hill ' s most widely- known writers. Bill Bracke, pictures the need in his own way, and should be of interest to each of those men students who is not fortunate enough to have an agreeable landlady, or enough hot water for his morning shave. Then comes a story written by Stanley Marietta on the status of the non-fraternity man at Kansas. In this story, Stanley shows to the men of the University, the advan- tages of living in an unorganized house. In connection with this story we are running pictures of several of the lead- ing boarding and rooming house groups. A story written by our sports editor, Bob Braden. on the past football season, constitutes a big portion of the sports department for this issue. However, the intramural situation is well taken care of by Delmar Curry, who explains the men ' s program for the year thus far, and Carol Hunter who handles the women ' s end of the athletic section. The feature that we claim the honor of inaugurating, that of life on other Big Six campuses, is continued in this issue with a story on how the students at Nebraska conduct themselves. The article was written by Dan Easterday, one of the Cornhuskers ' most outstand- ing journalists. The clothes columns this issue have adopted a formal trend, and what s what at the formal parties is discussed. Polylogia carries on this time with more of the Hill ' s juiciest gossip. The poets of the campus have again come to the front, and offered their work for repro- duction in The Jayhawker. ' For art work this time, we have again relied on the services of our art edi- tor, Jim Donahue, and his able cohort. Arvid Jacobson. These two artists have turned out illustrations for a number of stories in addition to two full page car- toons bv Donahue, and caricatures of two members of the Board of Regents by Jacobson. Humor in this issue confines itself to works by those two favorite humorists. Bob Lamar and Bette Hamilton. La- mar ' s story. A Pachacamac Passes, deals with the antics of one Horse- face Smith. Hill political leader, after his death. The soul of our hero has many interesting experiences before finally settling down to a life of seclu- sion in Hades. Bette did us a story in which she makes many interesting and clever comments on the make-up of The Jayhawker, and also offers some help- ful suggestions as to the betterment of the publication. The Jayhawker staff has received many interesting letters from sub- scribers since the advent of the 1934- 1935 annual. These letters contain many comments, that in the editor ' s mind, would be interesting to the readers. If more of these letters are received before the dead-line for the next issue, we will organize a letters-to-the-editor page. In these letters include constructive criti- cism of the magazine you may have in mind. The Jayhawker is your magazine. It is through your subscriptions that we are able to put out the publication. So any suggestions you may have will be gladly accepted at the Jayhawker office. Either address your letters to Editor, Jayhawker Magazine, Univer- sity of Kansas. or place your com- ments in the box for that purpose, which will soon be installed in the Jay- hawker office. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS - BY JULIA MARKHAM And the year goes on WITH the first flurry of Hill ac- tivities over, students are pre- paring for the winter grind. Homecom- ing decorations are in the basement ; the freshman hazing question is no longer a question; the old ear muffs are being pulled out of the trunk; the band is at last fully outfitted; and we still have Nebraska to beat. With the Thanksgiving turkey only a fond memory, the student body looks ahead to Christmas vacation when it will catch up on all those back lessons. Finals are so far in the dim future that they are practically no fit subject for table-talk as yet. The headache from mid-semesters still persists. An answer to the editor ' s frenzied question, Is the Kansas editorial col- umn read? can at last be made. After a vigorous campaign for the return of the hobo, the student paper finally man- aged to generate enough enthusiasm to bring about the desired result. Attired in various and sundry articles of cloth- ing so terrible that even their mothers would not love them, the students turned out in full force. They booed Doc Allen, cheered Doc Yak, and danced un- til the 12:20 whistle blew. It was a half- holiday such as the University has never known before. If Jupiter Pluvius and a fighting Kansas eleven could have managed to Beat Nebraska there would have been a half-holiday such as the University would never know again. The Beta ' s managed to get their flowers out to decorate the house for Homecoming so that they might win the Pan-Hellenic prize; and the Gamma Phi ' s inveigled Theno Graves and the football team into believing Avanell Bushmeyer ought to be Foot- ball Queen. The Laws and the Medics turned sissy and refused to play their tradi- tional football battle on the Friday be- fore Homecoming. They didn ' t have any suits to wear, and they weren ' t going to get all dirty. The old school is going to the dogs, boys. School spirit was rising higher and higher until someone booed the Gover- nor at the rally in the stadium the night before the Homecoming game. Every- thing was patched up all right, of course: but another wet blanket was thrown on the pep gathering when the Jayhawker in the fireworks display tumbled over while attempting to eat the Nebraska ear of corn, leaving said corn burning brightly while the bird died out in disgrace on the ground. ' as that a bad omen? Oil-cloth soared in value the day of the Nebraska game to take the place of slickers. It gave that added touch to a somewhat otherwise dreary wet day. The new band uniforms looked flashy iq spite of the pools of water the mem- bers had to wade through. The stu- dents failed to complain for once that the sun was in their eyes. The Kansas editors swarmed in Sat- urday morning, just in time to get free tickets to the game. Of course, they did attend a few roundtables: haggle over the code: and slap each other on the back. Apple-polishing among the jour- nalism students took on a subtly super- ior form as they endeavored to worm a job out of one of the unsuspecting mem- bers of the Fourth Estate. The Hill has been beseiged by elec- tions this fall, not only local but state and national ones as well. First, it was the freshman hazing problem, which was settled but not to the satisfaction of the Betas who decided to abolish the practice in their order. Although pro- hibition came up for more than its share of discussion, the students had no more opportunity to vote on the ques- tion than if they were out of their home county. The young Republicans, the young Democrats, and the young So- cialists organized early and campaigned late. The young G. O. P. ' s even went so far as to buy a full page ad in the Kansan to boost Landon. Peggy Anne was elected as an honorary member and guiding spirit to lend prestige to the club. She did not fare as well as her honorable father however, in her own venture into politics, or rather the Pi Phi ' s venture, for Catherine Dunkel was elected freshman vice-president in the . S. G. A. contest, and Georgia Sue Reuter was chosen secretary. The Pachacamac added to their long string of victories by successfully placing in office. Bill Asher as fresh- man president: Fritz Huey as treasurer: and Kenneth on Achen and Archie Mills as dance managers. The slogan of the Rising Sun party was Beat Boss Brown and the Betas. The Oread- Kayhawks made a better showing this time which may be taken as a warning by the Pachacamacs if they wish to continue their power in office. Gunnar Mykland. president of the Men ' s Student Council, and his Pacha- camacs cohorts decided that if they could concoct something extra-startling and see it go through successfully, there would be no worries about a clean sweep into office next spring. So. Myk- land being a political science major, hit on the proportional representation scheme, and put it through w-ithout a hitch. The real results are yet to be seen. Out over the state, former University of Kansas law students did themselves proud when seventeen were elected to office, sixteen to the position of county- attorney and one to the office of Gov- ernor. The University continues to bid for international fame as Glenn Cunning- ham and his wife return from their world tour: and also when it was an- nounced that basketball, which was in- vented forty-three years ago by Dr. James Naismith of our faculty, will be introduced as a competitive sport at the THE JAYIIAWKER 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. In the field of science Dr. H. P. Cady, head of the department of chemistry, re- cently announced the invention of a new method for obtaining the molar weights of gasses and the astronomy depart- ment made public the remarkable new photograph of the moon made possible through the development of the William Pitt-University of Kansas reflecting telescope. The folks back home will shake their heads and mourn over the fact that K. U. is just a society school when they learn that the University ' s scholastic rating dropped .02 lower than last year ' s record. They will probably fail to note that it was the 1 non-sorority women who caused the slide downward. The students have their chance again now, however, since the library is open until ten every night. ' ' The Dove has once again spread its silken wings over the campus. George Lerrigo, its editor, still insists (hat the pink sheet represents a cross section of student opinion although it appears to express for the most part, pet peeves. However, it affords an excellent opportunity to let off excess steam, and it seems to be a money-making proposi- tion, which is the essential ' point any- way. DID YOU EVER HEAR THE ONE ABOUT . . . The nightshirt parade was the usual forced success; the word flying squadron that refused to give the re- luctant freshmen even half a chance. The free food and show are sufficient recompense for the effort expended, the boys admit. Sleeping apparel this year was quite fashionable, a thousand pa- jamas and a hundred nighties being sported brazenly on the streets. The parents had the opportunity this year to see their sons make a spectacle of themselves in the nightshirt parade as it was the big celebration before the Oklahoma game. Ewing Herbert, Sr., spoke to the mothers and fathers at their dinner in the Union. The banquet was none the less gay because Kansas was unable to do more than tie the Sooners, 7-7. The big jubilee of the year was really held off the campus in the enemy ter- ritory. Manhattan was swarmed by Jay- hawkers in a very festive mood which grew as the night wore on. Away from the University ' s apron strings, the school spirit broke loose and knew no bounds. ' The activity ticket attractions have been unusually well attended this year. The mellerdrammer in the presentation by the Jitney Players in the Auditorium kept the audience roar- ing throughout the whole evening. Not any less successful was the play by the National Collegiate Players, Eva the Fifth. The cast dished out the low-brow comedy in high-toned style, and the stu- dents really enjoyed it as a change from the regular type of drama that the Play- THE SECOND GENERATION CLUB UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS K The famous woman Secretary of La- bor, Frances Perkins, opened the lecture course, but the girls were disappointed because she failed to wear her tri-corn hat The second number of the series came along just a few weeks later. Dr. Albert Wiggam attempted to interpret science in monosyllables to the under- graduate mind. The student orators aired their views and not a few of the faults of Univer- sity life in the campus problems speak- ing contest. Robert Thrope proved the most convincing with his speech on Physical Training, but Logan Lane ' s tirade on the Kansan should not be overlooked in spite of the fact that the judges did so. ii HERBERT MUELLER Gfrmmm Elrltangr Scholar Although the University has not rated a Rhodes scholar in many years there are always hopefuls, and this year the chances are very good indeed, with Ray Miller, Otis Brubaker, and Edwin Pfeutze having been chosen to go higher in the competition before the final dis- trict decision is made. In friendly rivalry with Carleton Kent of the Journal-World, the Kansan initiated a column not long ago entitled Rock Chalklets which now shows some likelihood of becoming stiff com- petition for that enterprising young reporter. Serge Jarroff and his chorus of thirty-six Don Cossacks made a strong appeal to the student body. As an AT THE K CLUB VARSITY opener for the concert course, the Rus- sian chorus was well-chosen. The R. 0. T. C. turned out in full uniform with their dates before going to their ball in the Memorial Union. As a result of a strictly confidential questionnaire that Dean Agnes Hus- band sent out to 382 non-sorority wom- en, the conclusion has been drawn from the fact that only twenty-seven replies were made that Hill society is entirely too undemocratic. The fault seems to lie altogether with the sorority women, she believes, and not with the type of ques- tionnaire she prepared. Kappa Alpha Theta decided to see what could be done about the situation by giving a Sunday afternoon tea. inviting a very select few. Whether this plan is to be followed by all sororities until it becomes the usual bore remains to be seen. Conjectures are being made as to who will be the Most Alluring Co-ed and the Most Fascinating He in Bill Blower ' s Sour Owl contest. Some say a certain Corbin Hall beauty, some say another, but while the question is being debated attention turns to the Jayhawker beauty queen issue, and the sororities begin to count their possible candidates. Amidst all their campus and social activities, the students paused, Novem- ber 13, to honor Dr. Frank Strong, for- mer chancellor of the University from 1902. until 1920. who died August 6, with a memorial service held in the Au- ditorium. William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette: Governor Alfred M. Landon: Chancellor E. H. Lindley. and Prof. Robert McNair Davis of the School of Law spoke at the convocation. Lloyd Metzler believes in getting the varsities out of the way early in the year, because the men are not so anxious to take a chance on a blind date second semester. The week-end varsities as well as the mid-weeks have been successful, if being stepped on is a criterion of a good party. Maybe part of that success can be attributed to the Tau Sigma dancing classes that are attempting to make Ted Shawn ' s and Ruth St. Denis r out of awkward raw material. The Sigma Nu Halloween party, the Phi Gam tacky party, the Gamma Phi Polly party, and the Sig Alph suppers with other parties interspersed here and there have been filling up any stray week-end nights that happen to be left on the calendar. Looking back on the year thus far, the student wonders how he managed to crowd so much into so short a time. Still more baffling is the problem of how he is to do all the things that have been planned between now and finals and yet find time to pass the examinations. 80 THE JAYHAWKER Alfred M. Landon college student BY ALFRED C. AMES Records of the student days of the state ' s chief executive reveal him as a typical Jayhawker IT HAS been said that there are only three points of view towards a char- acter (real or fictitious) possible for a writer. These points of view are simply attitudes that towards a super- ior person, that towards an equal, and that towards an inferior. Many people have written and spoken about Alf M. Landon, but nearly all have slighted the second point of view. Newspaper editorials, campaign literature, political speeches have praised or dispraised Mr. Landon heartily. The writers and speakers create the impression that they hold Mr. Landon to be greatly superior or vastly inferior to themselves. It is a tribute to Mr. Landon and to the Grand Old Party that the first point of view has been, and is, emphatically predom- inant. In not assuming this viewpoint here, no disrespect is meant to our sub- ject. We are not considering Alf M. Landon, governor of Kansas, but Alf M. Landon, 1908, as he was in the days be- fore 1908 signified a graduate of the K. U. law school. Therefore, let us adopt the second attitude; let us, as K. U. students, consider Mr. Landon as a K. U. student, as one of ourselves, as on our level. Alf Landon matriculated at the Uni- versity of Kansas, September 27, 1904. He came from Independence high school and had also had previous training at Marietta, Ohio. He entered at the age of seventeen after completing the three-year course then prevalent among high schools. English, Latin, and mathematics account for over three- fifths of his high school work. History, physical geography and German are also on his high school record. Landon ' s first year of study was in the college. His courses were in history, Latin, English, botany, and physics. Hygiene and physical training, those unpleasant matters, he flunked. (Too many cuts probably). He found his sciences, especially physics, very rough ALF M. LANDON AS HE IS TODAY going, but his history courses were most congenial. On October 15, 1904, Landon took the weighty vows of Phi Gamma Delta. The Phi Gams were housed in those days at 745 Louisiana. The fra- ternity house is still there intact, but as yet hasn ' t been made into a national shrine. Alf didn ' t have a shiny new domicile to live in, but he did have a new build- ing in which to attend classes. Green Hall was built in 1904, the year before he entered the law school. Our guess is that the embryo lawyers of Landon ' s time didn ' t sneer at their home, by call- ing it the barn. The law school took Alf ' s breath away at first, judging by his tran- script. From this point on, the subjects pursued by the future executive hold little meaning to a mere college boy. Landon waded through his first semester of the stuff, for it can be called nothing else, and picked up towards the end of the year. Any student receiving a grade of D or less in 40 per cent .... shall . . . . or else. Landon did. It was in 1906 that the Phi Gams sent Landon to their national conven- tion held somewhere in the United States. And in October, our young law student was made president of the Kan- sas chapter of the fraternity. He re- mained at the helm of the chapter until UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 87 I the late spring of 1908. There was no dearth of material either to account for his long tenure in office; there were almost a score of boys in the chapter, a large group for that time. As a mid-law, Landon lost all con- sistency in his class performance. He avoided only the lower depths. Practice court was where he shone. He pled com- mon law, codes and equity. He studied insurance, criminal law, equity, and bills and notes. In other words, he was, as above stated, a mid-law. Then he was a senior law, studying or taking similar matters. On June 10, 1908, it was all over, and Alf M. Landon re- ceived his LL.B. degree. Now let us turn back. The multitudi- nous clubs, and ostensible clubs that infest college life today are of recent origin. For outside organizations, aside from the social fraternity, we may put down only Phi Delta Phi, professional law fraternity, opposite Landon ' s name. But he was by no means inactive. He was chairman of the Law scrimmage committee, and of the Law banquet committee in 1907. He served on the senior play committee and the Pan- Hellenic council in 1908. He was also active in student politics, although records do not reveal him as a candi- date for any office. Perhaps it may not be amiss to say something of the political set-up in those days. It resembles the present one to an amazing extent. The two contest- ing parties were the Beta-barbs and the All-fraternity party. The barbs had great power then, as they were nearly all in the Beta-barb combine. Phi Gams, in the all-fraternity group, were comparatively impotent. So per- haps Landon, in not seeking an office, also avoided a profitless outlay. Wise guy! Alf Landon was not known as Alf during the latter part of his residence at K. U. He was Fox. This nickname was universally applied, and stuck until a few years ago when the objections of the gentleman concerned succeeded in oppressing it. There are at least two theories as to the origin of this nick- name. One is that he was always natural- ly foxy in politics; that he always out- smarted the political dogs. The other theory is more striking and remarkable. It is that he called everyone Fox. Hello Fox, Hi Fox, Hey Fox, etc. The chickens came home to roost, and Landon was in turn labelled Fox. It ' s right there in the record book, Alfred M. Landon, Fox. But what sort of a fellow was Lan- don? Dr. Burdick, vice-president of the University, and dean of the law school, has nothing but good words to say for his former pupil (who only got a II in criminal law). Landon ' s rela- tions with the faculty were evidently all that could be desired. He would have made a good lawyer, says Dr. Burdick. almost regretfully. And professions re- gret to lose only the promising men. George 0. Foster, registrar, asserts. Alf had all of the earmarks of be- coming governor. He was surely a lively boy, but he was never brought up be- fore the disciplinary committee. Prof. John Ise of the economics faculty, and a schoolmate of the gover- nor ' s, recalls Landon ' s extreme friend- liness. With high social status and plenty of money, he might have become a snob, but nothing of that was in his nature. He was one of the most cordial fellows I ever knew. Willing to talk with anyone, and always having some- thing to say. I can ' t doubt that he was a good influence in the fraternity. There is an unauthentical rumor current at the Phi Gam hangout that Landon, on a dare, swiped a spittoon for the fraternity house. But he did not do a thorough job. The next night he went back to the old Eldridge House and helped himself to the mat. And such was Alf Landon. college boy. He liked good times, and had them without going to excess. He was capable of a prank now and then. He cut a wide swath in Hill society, and yet was most cordial with everyone. His academic batting average, counting I ' s as hits, totals .115, and yet he seldom whiffed on three pitched balls. He got on well with his teachers, his fratern- ity brothers, the ladies and the boys in short, with everyone. He was, and is, as Dr. Burdick terms it, a typical loyal Jayhawker. till ' COURT THE JAYHAWKER NNE of the foremost newspaper - inoii of Kansas, Leslie Wallace was appointed to the Board of Re- gents by Governor Woodring in 1931. Mr. Wallace began his journal- istic work as a reporter on the To- peka Daily Capital. He was a mem- ber of the reporting staff of the Kansas City Star from 1909 to 1914, three years of which he was Sunday Editor of that paper. He has held important positions as secretary to Charles F. Scott, ' 81, Congressman- at-large, and to Governor Woodring. Mr. Wallace traveled extensively in the Orient and Europe in 1924-27, returning to Kansas to assume the editorship of the lola Register. Mr. Wallace was president of the Kansas Editorial Association in 1929 and the Southwest Kansas Editorial Association in 1930. He is now edi- tor of the Lamed Tiller and Toiler and nationally known in the journalism field. PvUDLEY DOOLITTLE, 1903, mem- L ' ber of the Board of Regents, is a graduate of the University who has reached a position of national and international recognition as a result of his work as congressman from Kansas from 1912 to 1919 and a special representative of the United States Treasury to Italy in 1919 to settle a dispute which had upset friendly relations between the two countries. Mr. Doolittle was ap- pointed county attorney of Chase County, Kansas, immediately upon his graduation from Kansas Uni- versity, and was also elected mayor of Strong City, where he still main- tains his residence, although his as- sociation with the law firms of Doo- little and Mellott, and Shouse, Doo- little, Morelock and Shrader require him to live in Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Doolittle is now director of the farm credit administration for the ninth district, which includes all of Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico. Incidentally, the farm credit plan grew out of a measure which he introduced in Congress in 1913. Mr. Doolittle has also been a member of the Board of Trustees of the College of Emporia. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS M BY J. HUBERT ANDERSON The class of ' 38 MID-SEPTEMBER brings Fresh- man Week, and therein lies the beginning of another class history, the induction of a new crop of potential students, albeit upstarts, into college life. Launched from home with paren- tal admonitions anent the work he is expected to accomplish, each initiate . , BILL ASHER PreaAext makes his solo flight over a new route with which he must familiarize himself as he proceeds. With the barometrical assistance of the chancellor ' s speeches and of deans ' and advisors ' regulatory warnings, he is equipped to expect both fair weather and foul. Stark realities accompany the first class assignments, and unsettled days give way to the routine of lessons. Like a dash of cold water in the face is the discovery that high school days are for- ever past. Latent mentalities and dor- mant energies are called forth to meet the new requirements lest there be early vacancies in the ranks of the recruits. Unknown to each other and lacking organization, the freshmen utilize the opportunities they have during the first weeks to form friendships. The marks of a plebe are distinguishable by his fellows, thereby motivating those feath- ered similarly to flock in mutual com- pany. Gradually, each widens his range of acquaintance, and the class begins to assume unity that was previously ab- sent. To facilitate a formal organiza- tion, the upperclassmen enter the scene and impress upon their untutored infer- iors the importance of selecting the right ones for class officerships. The executive posts are divided be- tween the men and the women. Preced- ing the choice of their candidates by- means of the Australian ballot system, the men are introduced for the first time to University politics. After the formation of partisan lines comes the solicitation of new followers. The vote results are interpretative to party lead- ers, for it has been said that as go the freshman, so goes the spring election. The women conduct their nominations and subsequent election in a series of mass meetings, said to be wholly with- out combination in any shape or form. This year, the men elected the candi- dates of the Pachacamac party. The final vote results gave the winners ma- jorities of between eighty and ninety votes over their Oread-Kayhawk oppon- ents. The women who were successful in their candidacy were chosen from a field of nominees in an open meeting of the freshmen women. Those upon whom fell the respon- sibilities of directing their class ' activi- ties are William Asher. elected Presi- dent: Catherine Dunkel. Vice-President : Fritz Huey, Treasurer; Georgia Sue Reuter, Secretary, and Archie Mills and Kenneth Von Achen, dance managers. The common supposition is that the officers ' duties are few. if any. Ac- tually, however, this belief is a fallacy. Soon after election, the Freshman Frolic, always one of the best parties of the year, must be planned for and conducted. The class president is an ex- ARCHIE MILLS KEXXETH VOX ACHEX Danef Managers officio member of the Men ' s Student Council. Although he has no vote, he is allowed to voice his opinions in the meetings. Likewise, the vice-president sits in with the Women ' s Student Gov- ernment Association. Already this fall, one of the Hill ' s controversies centered around the first- year men. who assumed the position of disinterested onlookers. It was alleged by a group of reformers that the tra- ditional wearing of caps by the neo- phytes was being encouraged by k men who employed utter brutality and an attitude altogether sanguinary and ruthless. In a special referendum, the men voted for the retention of the exist- ing method of enforcement. A definite place is held in athletics by the freshmen. Although they are not eligible for Big Six Conference com- petition, they work and train in assist- ance to the varsity teams. When the call for football practice was issued, over eighty new men checked out suits. The succeeding weeks of workouts saw their ranks dwindle, but a large group will be awarded numeral sweaters at the end of the season.

Mr. Fox is the creator of the Skipper, Aunt Eppie Hogg, Mickey McGuire, and the rest of the Toonerville folks who appear daily in more than 250 American news- papers. These comics are among the most popular of the contemporary cartoons. He was selected as beauty judge be- cause of his wide popularity and repu- tation, and not through any feeling on .Am d irfti i F ACT the part of the editor of the Jayhawker that the freshman beauties could be judged only by a cartoonist. Then too, Mr. Fox is far enough removed from the field of battle that he will be dis- turbed by neither the exultations of the victors nor the howls of the vanquished. There was an unintentional bit of humor in his telegram of acceptance of the beauty judge position. In a telegram to Fred Harris, editor of The Jay- hawker, Fox said, If beauty contest is to be judged from photographs will be glad to serve, but trip to Kansas is not possible for me before next fall. Forth- with, photographs of the fifteen candi- dates were mailed to him, and the selec- tions were received by wire about two weeks ago. The cartoon which appears on this page was furnished The Jayhawker by Mr. Fox, as was the portrait of him- self by James Montgomery Flagg, a na- tionally known illustrator. This is prob- ably the first time the work of two artists of such wide repute has appeared in any student publication at the Uni- versity. The portrait by Flagg has a his- tory of its own. It was given as a prize in the annual Artists and Writers golf tournament held in Palm Beach, Florida, last February. For many years the writ- ers had been victorious and the artists came prepared with portraits of Rex Beach and Grantland Rice who had ap- peared as finalists for years. The artists won both flights however, and Flagg had to do portraits of Fox and Rube Goldberg, who were the winners. In communicating his decision to The Jayhawker, Mr. Fox remarked that the task of judging a beauty contest by photographs was extremely difficult, and that it would have been easier had he been able to see the girls. A short biographical sketch of the beauty judge will doubtless be of inter- est to Jayhawker readers. Fontaine Fox was born in Louisville, Kentucky, where his father was a judge and a journalist. After completing his public school edu- cation in Louisville, he attended In- diana University, graduating with the class of 1908. While attending public school and the University he took a great interest in baseball and played on the school teams. At one time he played on a baseball team owned by a Louis- ville saloon keeper. His talent for cartooning was earning him money by the time he left high school, and he paid his expenses in col- lege by drawing for the Louisville Herald. After his graduation he went to Chicago to accept a cartoonists berth on the Chicago Evening Post. Mr. Fox ' s present home is at Roslyn, Long Island. Away from the office he spends a considerable part of his time on the golf course. At home his hobby is generating jazz on his trap drums, and he characterizes himself as the third best amateur trap drummer in Roslvn. Long Island.

Watkin ' s Hospital seemed to cloak itself in a sorrowful fog, settling back firmly on its student laid foundations as though to make an even greater effort to stay on the side of the crumbling, rocky hill. A sort of undefinable sadness per- vaded the atmosphere. Students were passing on their way to classes, and just as one group was deciding to go to the Union Fountain (adv.), a long gray hearse rolled to a stop. Thus was the end of a great student leader, known to his friends as Horse- face, Skunk, or Mouse-ears Smith. His death was certainly untimely. Last night he had presided at the Pachaca- mac Victory Banquet. There he had been the hero of the hour, as he had lead his all-fraternity party to a hard earned victory, the count being at a close ten to one. Everyone had been cheering him last night at the victory banquet, and he was just commenting upon his desire for honest government and how much the K book would be worth to the party next year when the fatal beer bottle clipped him behind the ear. It was not until three hours later that his huddled form was noticed in the sawdust, and then, alas for Horseface. But the spirit of the great Horseface had not come to rest. As the hearse pulled away, a long stream of musky vapor sifted under the back door. This was the soul of Great Man Smith, and as he watched his body heading down the Hill past Brick ' s, he wondered who was getting the cut on the coroner ' s gasoline. For there were still other fields for the politician Horseface. The ethereal Pachacamac ex-presi- dent flitted along the campus. Passing the Abode of Embryonic Shysters, he paused to flit under the arm-pit of Hor- ace Greely or whoever it is. He found it much easier than it had been several years before, when he had tried it with- out success. He wafted along, passing the medical building (Commons Build- ing to you) and thumbing his breeze- like nose. But he was tiring of this sport. No longer could he enjoy the old Kansas University that he once knew. He contemplated spending an evening haunting some of his old friends, but lie ' realized that his haunting could not compare in efficiency to that of the vellow and brown ostriches and dino- saurs that they were used to. And so he wearily joined the winds from the chemistry building and lost himself in the uniformity of his surroundings. Pachacamac at K. U. would see him no But our scene changes and we find Horseface no longer on the K. U. campus, but knocking at the gates of heaven like Opportunity. In other words, we have gone from the ridicu- lous to the sublime. There is a creaking noise as the gates fall open, and former Student Smith enters. He is immediately lead to a great pole of rock chalk, upon which is en- graved the sentiment, To Those Many Left Behind. Here he finds a winged creature wearing a debate key. and he immediately tries to become acquainted with the stranger. Questions about the Heavenly Political situation lead no- where. Finally he mentioned the fact that he would like to be appointed a committee of one to buy oil for the gates of Heaven. Of course, this line of thought immediately disclosed the un- fortunate Horseface as a loyal Pachaca- mac. A blinding light flashed out and the young shroud found himself once more on the outside of the gates, this time headed south. Soon he encountered another set of gates, patrolled by two young men with horned foreheads, both in blue uniforms. One came close to him and examined him carefully, while the other stood off at a distance and muttered something about identification cards. Surely, thought Horseface. this is Hell and he shuddered at the thought. But this ordeal was not to continue long. Soon he was forced to squeeze between a series of closely set iron bars, and his entrance in to the land of Hades was completed. Of course, there were no ushers in- side the gates and Horseface wandered aimlessly around, as was his custom be- fore his unlucky accident with the Vic- tory Banquet beer bottle. (Such. I might explain, was not an individual custom with our shroud hero, as aim- less wandering has been the main pas- time of Pachacamac politicians from time immemorial.) Soon he came upon a phosphorescent door upon which was written in scarlet flames. ' Manager-in- Chief. Naturally, being a true Pach- acamac, he entered without even a knock, and before him sat an evil look- ing tailed gentleman in a flaming swivel chair. Horseface noticed a small sign on the brimstone desk which read. Mr. Beezlebubb. Manager. The surly Mr. Beezlebubb glanced quickly at Horse- face as though to find out who he was. Then suddenly he spoke, in a disap- pointed tone. ' Another Pachacamac. ' ' and shaking his head sadly, he pressed a button which had written on it, Brain Trust.

As he tenderly places the pigskin on the turf of the lonely and forsaken gridiron, he sits thereupon and gazes meditatively into the deserted stadium. A ghostly cheer grows into a deafening roar as the stadium teems with gay and excited throngs, and the football season with all its color and glory lives again. After entertaining the Blue and Gold horde from out Colorado way, whose invasion the Jayhawk repelled with a scoreless tie, the Tulsa Golden Hurri- canes played host to the Red and Blue forces from way up north in Kansas. Handicapped by a weak offensive com- bination, the Kansas University foot- ballers were unable to penetrate the Tulsan ' s goal, while the seasoned back- field of the Golden Hurricane met great resistance from the Kansas forward wall but scored once. The final score, 7-0, recalls a like score of last season when Tulsa was again victorious by the same margin. Following the Tulsa game it became evident to Coach Lindsey that he would have to concentrate his efforts A RAIN-SOAKED CROWD WATCHES K. U. AND N. U. BATTLE IN THE MUD AN OKLAHOMA BALL CARRIER MEETS HIS DOOM in an attempt to attain an aggressive backfield combination. The Kansas line had proved itself capable and defensive- ly qualified. When the Ravens of St. Benedicts swooped down from the North and alighted on the Kansas gridiron, they carried with them an impressive record. This was to be their opportun- ity to engage a most worthy foe, and the game found them in full fighting regalia. Coach Lindsey and his men were not unprepared for the attack. Clawson scored the first Kansas touch- down of the season when he received a well aimed pass from Hapgood, and Kansas led at the half, 7-6. The big Kan- sas offensive drive opened with full force in the third quarter and the final score of 34-12 in favor of the Red and Blue was the numerical equiv- alent of the story of sparkling gains and daring punt returns by Bob White and George Hapgood. Peterson was out- standing at the blocking position. Sklar and McCall, linemen, showed their abil- ity by converting points after touch- downs. The whole Kansas line turned in a creditable performance with Phelps and Clawson matching the good work of Sklar and McCall. The following week, the traditional Kansas-Kansas Aggie tilt was sched- uled in the Manhattan locale. After a brilliant first half stand, the Jayhawker defense crumpled simultaneously, with a disheartening 68-yard line, once to the four yard marker. It might almost be stated as a generality that once with- in striking distance of the Aggie goal line, fumbles and penalties seemed to descend on the Jayhawkers in a veri- table avalanche. Later in the game, a successful passing attack netted the Ags another touchdown to bring the final score to 13-0 in their favor. A colorful crowd of some 15,000 witnessed the game. The day was named in honor of Elden Auker, former Aggie athlete, who played a stellar role in this year ' s World Series. Determined to re-shape the lineup in order to build up the sadly lacking offensive strength, Coach Lindsey ex- perimented the week before the Sooner game with an all sophomore backfield (Giannangelo, Stukey, Hapgood, and Antonio.) Milo Clawson was shifted back to his old position at tackle leav- ing the wing berth open to a promising newcomer, John Seigle. Lindsey ' s ace blocker, Peterson, was out with an el- bow injury. When the Oklahomans appeared in GOVERNOR LANDON ADDRESSES THE MICHIGAN STATE CROWD TJNIVEBSITY OF KANSAS in big six race Lawrence on October 27th, their repu- tation placed them quite favorably in all betting odds. A renewed Jayhawk fighting spirit carried the team into the game with a steadfast determination to triumph regardless of predictions to the contrary. The Kansans held Okla- homa on better than even terms through- out the first half, but the third quarter went to the Sooners when Poyner slashed through the middle of the Kan- sas line and continued 42 yards to score a touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter Hapgood sailed a beautiful pass from the 45-yard line into the waiting arms of Stukey, deep in the end zone. McCall was rushed into the game at this point and was successful in making the point after touchdown to tie the score at 7-7. The Kansans used the fake punt play twice for long gains and each time the fans were brought to their feet. Al- though the game ended in a tie, sta- tistics showed that the Jayhawk was su- perior to the Sooner in yards gained from scrimmage, yards gained from passes, and average distance of punts. On November 3, the Jayhawker team journeyed to Ames to meet the Iowa State Cyclones who had missed victory by a one point margin in an engage- ment with the Nebraska Cornhuskers the week before. The Kansas team was definitely on the upgrade after its fine showing against the Sooners, and cer- tain ones of the rabid Kansas fans were expecting an equally fine showing against Iowa in a predicted Jayhawker victory. On a water-soaked field, K. U. out-fought and out-gained the Cyclones, making nine first downs to four, over twice the amount of yardage by scrim- mage, and punting for longer distances than the foe. Hapgood got away for a brilliant 33-yard run with but one op- posing player between him and the goal line, but the offense still lacked the ex- THE BAND PARADES IN ITS NEW UNIFORM ACTION WITH KANSAS STATE AT MANHATTAN A PILE-UP IN THE OKLAHOMA DEAD-LOCK THE KANSAS BACKFIELD IN ACTION THE KANSAS TWO-MILE TEAM 100 THE JAYHAWKEE tra something to put the pigskin over the goal. Kell did a very neat job at quarterback and proved to be a heady field general. The game ended a score- less tie, the second tie game in as many weeks for Kansas against conference competition. ' The Washington University Bears, were the next hurdle with which the Jayhawk gridder had to contend. The Bears had a fine record indeed. Against sturdy competition they had been very successful, even to scoring against the wonder team of Illinois. Although Washington University had never scored a victory over Kansas in all the long years of their competition, this year seemed to be the year of years to turn the trick. But alas for the poor Wash- ington rooter, fate had decreed other- wise. The Kansans made the most of their scoring opportunities and Hap- good went over twice to lead the Red and Blue in its tenth victory over the St. Louis institution, this time by a 13-0 score. In the frantic fourth period, the Bears filled the air with passes in futile scoring attempts. The Kansas de- fense was clicking. Kell was again play- ing the role of an efficient signal caller and Seigle and Ole Nesmith were more than adequate in their positions of pass receivers. Perhaps the team that Kansas wished to conquer more than any other was the one next on the schedule, Nebraska. The University officials showed their interest by allowing Hobo Day to be revived. The whole campus was agog with the possibilities of a Cornhusker defeat, such a rarity in the vicinity of Mt. Oread, or in other mid-western vicinities for that matter. The weather seemed all a part of a great conspiracy, however, and when the day for the game arrived the field could appropriately be termed according to the time honored expression, a sea of mud. Even the driv- ing rain, throughout the game didn ' t dampen the Jayhawker hopes until the Cornhuskers scored on a place kick, late in the fourth period to win 3-0. The slipping, sloshing, sliding players pro- vided quite a novelty for the local fan. Kansas made brilliant defensive stands but the inadvertent weather bogged down the Kansas offense which so de- pended on aerial attack. If one single thing alone is to be mentioned, the punting of Fred Harris should be that very thing. Once Fred kicked from his goal line and sent the slippery, slimy ball 81-yards down the field. Upon an- other occasion he prompted the pigskin to take nearly a seventy yard jaunt. One must admit that the educated toe, so to speak, is quite necessary for such feats (no pun attempted). Time Magazine thus disposes of the Kansas-Nebraska mud tilt: After seeing his gridders wallow around for four periods, Dana X. Bible sent in Virgil Yelkin to place kick. He did. Nebraska 3, Kansas 0. It might be the inevitability of fate which favors the Cornhuskers when op- posed to the Jayhawker, but this year ' s score was the narrowest margin of vic- tory since the tie game in the early ' 20 ' s. Every loyal Red and Blue fol- lower hopes that the score this year is indicative of the whittling down process which will eventually assure a Kansas victory over the dominant Cornhusker. KANSAS AND NEBRASKA TANGLE IN THE MUD KANSAS SCORES OVER ST. BENEDICTS MICHIGAN STATE ACTION AN OKLAHOMA BACK LOOKS FOR A HOLE The weather conspiracy continued throughout the week preceding the intersectional clash with Michigan State here on November 24th. The field was soggy from the effects of a mid-week snow. The northerners should have felt right at home in the Mt. Oread setting. Their imposing record called for no favors however, in fact Kansas was de- cidedly on the less favorable end of the betting odds. This same team, the Mich- igan State Spartans, had been unde- feated until two short weeks before their Kansas debut. Some experts said that the final score would at least reach 18-0 in favor of the Spartans. But when all the sliding and slipping had sub- sided, the Spartans were perched pre- cariously in the win column, 6-0. The Michigan State score came as the re- sult of an unexpected forward pass, at a time when the Jayhawker pass de- fense was temporarily nil. On the whole Kansas played a defensive game to com- bat the vicious Spartan offensive thrusts, Sklar and Peterson seemed in on every play. Once the Jayhawk scratched back for two successive first downs but most of the time it was on the defensive. Fred Harris again comes (Continued on page 149) UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 101 BY WILLIAM B. BRACKE A brother for Corbin hall An article expressing the dire need for a men ' s dor- mitory on the Kansas campus THE University of Kansas has one glaring deficiency. Probably no other university or college of a size commensurate with K. U. is without a men ' s dormitory, a very vital, import- ant aspect of collegiate life. An ade- quate dormitory both for men and women is an integral part of a college equipment, just as a gymnasium or stadium is. K. U., whose Jayhawker annual has repeatedly won national distinctions, whose English department ranks fourth in the entire country, whose football eleven has tried so valiantly this same K. U. is sadly and dismally lacking in this one phase of college life. Few universities or colleges of the size and the indubitable prestige of this mecca for seekers after the light are without a men ' s dormitory. How much more impressive the skyline of our institu- tion of astute learning would be if only there were an imposing structure crest- ing Mount Oread, the Olympus of the middle west! Just west of Corbin Hall landscaping might be undertaken, lawns terraced, a lilac-sheltered prom- enade created to vie with West Point ' s romantic Flirtation Walk, and a mam- moth building erected to house men. However, the proximity, like the pro- verbial familiarity, might breed con- tempt or even familiarity. Seriously, however, the University of Kansas does need a men ' s dormitory. It is a matter of real consternation, and wonder to many that the school has managed to exist at all without this im- portant appendage to the educational and social equipment of the University. Imagine the poor freshman thrust into Lawrence and pseudo - sophistication from our provincial Kansas towns. His flattened bank account, his halitosis, or his parental objectors preclude his being accepted by the Greeks. With no protective harbor in sight, for several hours the poor freshman must skirmish about the streets of Lawrence, inspect- ing all the houses boasting Rooms for Boys. He chooses a house hopefully; he likes the lattice at the porch and the hole in the screen door because they remind him of home. He mounts the uncertain steps and knocks at the door. Presently the latter is opened by a toothy, frowzy housekeeper, emitting at the same time the stale odor of cab- bage, cooked long ago. He is led through a maze of tortuous hallways, dimly lighted, to a cubby- hole of a room, which he can have for ten dollars alone or seven-fifty if you ' d take a roommate. Next he is shown the bathroom, with the tub whose ineradicable ring of dinginess from last spring ' s semester is still vis- ible. The woman smiles and promises fresh linens once a week, rooms cleaned every other day. and a real, homelike at- mosphere. The freshman despairs of the situation, but there is a psychological examination the first thing after lunch. Sighing, he makes out a check and more often than not affixes his name to a contract. Immediately, the unsuspecting freshman is caught in the coils of the octopus of the rooming house situa- tion. Collegians of tender hearts, imag- ine a son of yours going through that in some twenty-five years. An adequate men ' s dormitory would do away with all these vices and evils of the present system. As soon as the high school senior had designated his preference for K. U., he would learn of the men ' s dormitory, just as he learns that Fraser Hall is the oldest building on the campus, and that it is the vener- able home of the English, education, and classical language departments home economics in the basement. A dormitory would give a uniformity to the lodgings for non-fraternity men. which can never hope to be obtained without one. After regulations regard- ing cleanings, linens, bathing, showers, and lounges had once been settled, an adequate staff would be maintained to adhere to the governing rules. The very successful women ' s dormitory, Corbin Hall, which never wants for occupants, is a shining beacon to light the way to such a project for men. Actual living conditions, where rooming houses are too cold in winter and too fly-ridden in the warm weather, would be elimin- ated. The precision of military routine would be maintained with the govern- ing precepts. The lounges and recreation rooms would be one of the most important features of the dormitory. Only those, who have lived in rooming houses and have experienced the disappointment, know how hopelessly inadequate are most rooming houses as places in which to entertain relatives or friends. When fond mammas, papas. Aunt Jennies, and L ' ncle Oscars come to visit, the child prodigy, the latter is always at a disad- vantage when he must sit with his dear ones in a stuffy parlor, while a land- lady in a none-too-clean housedress proceeds to monopolize the conversa- tion, ranging in her eulogies from her delight in the present young man to her joy at keeping his room clean, which probably even now looks as if the well-known lightning had struck twice there. Again when a man wished to arrange a foursome of bridge to while away an evening on which he couldn ' t possibly have any assignments. he wouldn ' t have to drag his friends and partners in crime through a morass of shoes, towels, cords, and notebooks, while an aspiring roommate looked glum and sighed over his good inten- tions to study this one night of the whole semester. A large, comfortable lounge would eliminate all these prob- lems and inconveniences. Bridge equip- ment, radio, even checkers for those from the western extremities of the state would add to the sum total of comfort and human pleasure. A camaraderie would be entered into which is so lacking with many barbarians. To the shy violet freshman it would pull him out of his introver- sion almost as well though never quite so successfully as the paddles and Monday night meetings of the Greeks on wind-swept Oread. To the egotistical, vainglorious type of mas- culine student the dormitory would pro- vide a perfect stamping ground for him to express himself. Friendships would be formed, friendships promoted while one group of men would listen with open-mouthed awe as others boasted on (Continued on page 150) 102 THE JAYHAWKER Hobo day is back, BY LLOYD METZLER THE problem child of the administration has returned unfettered, after a year ' s vacation. The ever-present pro- tests of indignant faculty members have been silenced. The dean of men receives no more complaints from injured property owners. It seems improbable if not impossible but Hobo Day is back, and no one objects. No longer do hilarious hoboes carry automobiles into the lobby of the Administration building. No longer do the students pile chairs in the halls. No longer do they spit tobacco juice on the walls. Utopia is here. Hobo Day has the blessing of the administration and the passive consent of the faculties. For the first time in history both the students and the faculty are happy over the outcome of that day when stu- dents masquerade as bums in contradistinction to the usual college routine in which bums masquerade as students. ' Sol Lindenbaum and his traditions committee may pat themselves on the back (either figuratively or literally) and settle down to the complacent existence of a successful organization. For none can deny that the committee ' s hercu- lean efforts have been rewarded with the most auspicious Hobo Day in the annals of the school. The crowd of bums was estimated at 3,000. The 9:30 convocation was a bang-up affair; the parade was a tre- mendous display of student enthusiasm; and the climax of the day was the free dance held in the Gym with both of Bill Phipps ' orchestras blaring forth as loudly as possible and yet failing to be heard in some sections of the hall over the din of happy hoboes. Lindenbaum, as chairman of the traditions committee, managed to announce the prize-winning hoboes audibly in spite of a slight attack of posterious laryngitis which as- sailed him on the morning of the celebration. These winners were selected by a special committee composed of Helen Rhoda Hoopes, Miss Neunschwander, and Dean Paul B. Lawson. Their selections, while not above criticism were certainly typical of the college bum of today. At the convocation, Chancellor Lindley and Dr. Allen both gave short talks. Dr. Allen handled a difficult situation with gloved hands. In the face of an indifferent and at times careless audience he managed to finish his speech without calling the general student body anything worse than a bunch of mezzanine hounds a remarkable K.

At this same convocation, Bob Cunningham was thrown unceremoniously from the Auditorium because he wore a tux. Those who saw the incident are inclined to believe that Bob came to the Auditorium with what the lawyers would call a reasonable expectation of being thrown out. The parade was a big success. Headed by Fritz Meyn ' s red Ford carrying Doc Yak and his assistant to the South Park rally, it stretched out over many blocks. It included every vehicle from expensive cars to decrepit one-boss shays towed by even more decrepit nags. (Some students even attended the parade on roller skates.) At South Park, Doc Yak (Mr. J. R. Holmes) and his assistant (C. C . Carl) dispensed their pink pills for pale people with more than the usual enthusiasm and ver- bosity. Most of the crowd couldn ' t hear what was being said, but they cheered anyway. And finally, Hobo Day ended, as all good Hobo Days should end, with a big free dance in the Gym. Except that two Betas engaged in an imaginary bull fight with the dance floor as an arena, nothing untoward occurred. Shins were bruised, corns were tortured, and yet everyone had a good time. Every year as Hobo Day draws nigh, the Administration utters silent prayers that no damage will be done. And it appears that finally their prayers have been answered for the students conducted themselves with rare judgment. The writer was not present, but it is a reasonably safe assumption that following the close of Hobo Day there must have been something akin to a revival meeting in the chancellor ' s office with loud shouts of Hallelujah ema- nating therefrom in grateful response to the work of a Divine Providence in sparing the school any criticism for the acts of its bums. But even such a demonstration as this could not move Dean Warner to wholeheartedly endorse the religion of the hobo. For, as he has repeatedly stated: Each year they promise to refrain from doing some- thing that caused trouble the year before. And always they keep their promise they do something worse instead.

P. Cady, scientist BY VERNON FRENCH To H. P. Cady, whose scientific discoveries have made himself and the K. U. Chemistry Depart- ment internationally famous A MONTH or so ago, there appeared in the local newspapers a modest, matter-of-fact story announcing the in- vention by Dr. H. P. Cady, head of the chemistry department at the University of Kansas, of a new method of obtain- ing molar weights of gases. Perhaps there is nothing which bet- ter reveals the type of man one finds in the inventor of the important scien- tific instrument. He is not a man seek- ing publicity and renown. Rather he is the patient hard-working scientist who delights in searching out new ways of improving man ' s knowledge and his ap- preciation of that knowledge. But a man of Dr. Cady ' s caliber does not remain unnoticed. He is a starred man: a star beside his name in Amer- ican Men of Science is a reminder that he is rated among the upper 10 per cent of the chemical scientists of Amer- ica. Where did this man get his train- ing? He began it himself. Back in the ' 90 ' s a young boy of Camden, Kansas, set up his first laboratory, amateurish, indeed, for the obtaining of ready-made sets was not easy then as it is now. Here Hamilton Perkins Cady worked with the problems of general chemistry and qualitative analysis until he learned them thoroughly. Then he came to K. U. Entering as a freshman, his first studies included quantitative analysis, organic chemistry, and solid trigonometry! A stiff course for anyone! Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, many years the head of the chemistry department, and the father of a group of renowned scientists of to- day known as Bailey ' s boys, was one of Dr. Cady ' s first advisers. It was not long until the genius of Dr. Cady was set to work in the line of scientific discovery. While still an un- dergraduate, he made a pioneer research on the conductivity of solutions in liquid ammonia, thereby opening up a fruitful field of investigation. During the years 1897-1899, Dr. Cady was a scholar and fellow at Cor- nell university. Then he returned to the University of Kansas as an instructor, and in 1903 received a PhD degree here. Since then he has directed his ef- forts to the betterment of K. U. and the world at large. Dr. Cady became head of the department in 1921. Numerous papers of research as well as several chemistry texts have been published by Dr. Cady, but among the most important of his contributions to science came during the war, when the U. S. departments of War and Navy asked him to work on a plan for ob- taining a substitute for the dangerous inflammable hydrogen gas which had been used in balloons for many years. American and English scientists had worked for years on this problem, but it was Dr. Cady who finally succeeded in solving it. For several months a little laboratory at K. U. became a scene of significant activity. Dr. Cady, hired by the United States government at a salary of a dol- lar a year, was working with his asso- ciates on this important problem. Helium as a gas had been known for some time, but it had never been found in sufficient quantities to warrant its use in balloons, although it was recog- nized that it would certainly be the ideal gas to use. Dr. Cady discovered the presence of helium in natural gas, and as a result, he, associated with other members of the chemistry department: C. W. Seibel, and F. W. Broskmiller; tested samples of gas sent them from all parts of the country by government agents in order to ascertain the best place for obtaining helium in sufficient quantities. A Kansas gas field which produced a high percentage of helium was selected, and a singular advance- ment in the development of dirigibles was made. (The dollar to be paid Dr. Cady, one he has intended to frame, was never received.) The result of Dr. Cady ' s latest ef- forts, the device for obtaining molar weights of gases, has come as a result of nearly a year ' s work. Before his in- vention was completed, it had been pos- sible to measure molar weights of gas, but only by a devious method involving numerous computations which provided many sources for error.

CADY WITH THE APPARATUS USED IN DETERMINING THE MOLAR WEIGHTS OF GASES UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 105 BY THE SPOKESMAN The social wheel LAST time I started out by saying that there was one nice thing about the University. Well, I was wrong. There are two. The second of these has recently been evidenced. It is a capacity for enjoying those things which some of our students deem too childlike to par- ticipate in. It was a pleasant surprise to see the whole-hearted turnout that was made to the Hobo Day party and activities preceding the drizzly Home- coming day game with Nebraska. Most of us, it seems, despite the weight im- posed upon us by the mere fact that we are in college, are able to have a hell of a good time when the opportunity arises. Consequently (if you are wondering the reason for all this apparently ir- relevant editorializing) the hour-and- fifteen-minute varsity after the Hobo Day celebration turned out to be one of the most riotous and most success- ful varsities ever thrown on this old Hill. Blackburn, directing the two Phipps ' bands, did a grand job of sup- plying the music for the mob to dance, and even if it couldn ' t be heard more than ten feet from the platform, those who gathered near enough will vouch for its quality. The only event which could have possibly spoiled a great day- was the reviving of classes in the aft- ernoon. Those of us who aren ' t blessed with good sense, and who signed up for Friday afternoon classes had to wash the dirt off our face and peg back up on the Hill while the rest enjoyed a merry time loafing. Now that the efforts of those half- dozen students who made Hobo Day possible have been acknowledged, we can take up the formal part of the story. The second Friday in October was a popular date from the looks of things. Three sororities and Corbin Hall went at it, tooth and toenail, and did their best to outdo one another by entertain- ing the new lads on the Hill. Open houses flew thick and fast that week- end. Chi Omega opened her doors and half the campus men walked in and paraded out of the front door for three hours while the Alpha Gams, on newly waxed floors, danced with those who weren ' t wearing down their legs on the long trek up to Gower Place where the Kappas pulled the wool over the un- suspecting males ' eyes and slammed the door as soon as one got inside. (It ' s just a joke, Kappa, old dear, don ' t take the old man seriously.) Four open houses is a big order for the student body of any one institution, but the girls did their best and everybody had a good time. The Phi Gams, very un- wisely, chose to compete with the ladies that night, and there ' s no report on record showing just who came out ahead. When it ' s four to one, though, the lads scarcely had the breaks in their favor. The limelight the next evening was held bv the varsity at the Union build- AT THE SIG EP BRAWL ing. The turnout, as usual, was good, and the music was up to the standard of the ones which preceded it. A. 0. Pi waited until this evening to hold its open house, and the girls did right by the unattached lads who were attracted by the bright lights on the east side of the house. Maybe they never heard of the story about the moth and the candle. Friday. November 2. was a pretty full day for the society folks. A. T. 6. decided to save money and went in for a steak-fry in a big way. Steak-fries and picnics seem to be gaining in popularity lately. It can ' t be attributed to the de- pression, so there must be some other reason. Corbin Hall again used its house on the side of the Hill for social pur- poses and gave its annual fall party. By the way. the writer will present one used Theta pledge pin (found in front of the Pi Phi house) to the person who can answer the question : Why was Cor- bin Hall built on the side of the Hill? Accuracy, speed, and neatness do not count in the judging of the papers, be- cause the pin will be given to the first Theta freshman who comes sweetly to my office and furnishes sufficient rea- sons for my returning the pin. Kappa Sigma went rural that even- ing and took a nice long ride in a hay- rack. The Delta Sigma Lambda pledges also got dates with the city gals and showed them a thing or three. Three other fraternities. Sig Ep. Phi Psi. and Sigma Chi also entertained with fall parties in their houses. Red Blackburn and his Maniacs gave the campus a break on the second and the regular Saturday night varsity was more than an unusual success. Sigma Nu came across with a house party on their estate up north (mostly up). With that event the week-end closed relatively quietly. On November tenth, the band which made Winnwood Beach famous in Kansas City played at the Owl Screech. Andy Kirk and his Twelve Clouds of Joy wore their fingers and tongues pret- ty short for the stamping crowd which invaded the ballroom. The Homecoming Varsity should need no comment here.

The necessity of group life is inherent in the very nature of the pla.net on which we live. The bond which holds together such a group is called friendship, a fine thing if it does not end in itself. Modern sororities would feel highly insulted if compared to the Hotentots. But such a parallel is not inconceivable if a sorority means nothing more than wearing a jeweled badge, a house to live in, and a prestige to live under. Its existence is not justified if it means nothing more than this. A fraternal group ' s purpose should be to lift its components to some higher level, the development of culture, and the devel- opment of women who can meet the broader demands of mature life. But sorority life on our campus does not meet these standards. So wherein lies the advantages gained from such a fraternal friendship? Man ' s life can be justified only by his making some contribution, however humble, to his fellow-men. Too -many sororities at the present time are living under the names that were attained for them by their early members, and about the only thing they teach their members is how to wear their clothes correctly, how to make-up their faces, and how to get a lot of dates. A certain refinement and reserve is instilled into a pledge which often ac- tually approaches snobbishness or is misinterpreted as such. On the other hand, a sorority girl is not the ostens- ible hey-hey girl that is conjured in the minds of movie-goers and readers of college humor magazines. True, a young freshman may return to her home town the first vacation with the idea of showing the townfolks what college does to a sorority pledge. Her idea of this is to walk into the local hang-out in her most assured manner (imitating the style of a newly-acquired and popular sister in the bonds). Such characteris- tics as these depicted are not the true conception of sorority life. Rather, they represent a passing fancy on the part of the home town freshman and are soon discarded for a reserve and poise which it is difficult if not impossible to acquire any place outside of the en- virons of a sorority. It is regrettable that the false con- ception concerning sorority influence on character has arsen. Such misap- prehensions do much to hinder the real- ly worthwhile aspects of college soror- ity life. Their influence may be felt not only in their detraction from the prestige of the organized houses, but also in the attitudes which so rorities must continually strive to maintain among their members in the face of such unjust criticism and characteriza- tions. What sororities really need is constructive suggestions and not the type of destructive criticism which has been prevalent recently. As there is a distinction between the non-sorority girl and the sorority girl, there is a difference between the larger sororities and the smaller ones. And the feeling that exists is not one that can be called democratic. The first question that is asked upon meeting a new girl or seeing a new face is. What does she belong to? Eyes are con- sciously or unconsciously searching for that badge which will place a girl in a Greek sisterhood. And yet sororities, even though they have departed from the original pur- poses of their founders, offer something to every member. They serve to bridge the gap between the intimacy of the high school group, and the variety of people met after graduation. Such an organization helps to safeguard and protect young women at co-educational school. Sorority sisters see each other ' s short-comings, and are frank in telling each other about them. By the time a girl is of college age. her background has formed her char- acter. A sorority cannot change a char- acter, but it can help in its development. It helps in the developing of poise and the so-called social graces. Its members learn how to dress in accordance with the occasion, and how not to overdress. The sorority provides a home-like at- mosphere for the girl during her college career. It provides that atmosphere and push that many an embryo student needs and gives one a confidence with which she can face the student body with her head up. The social life of the campus has its nucleus in the sorority. It is this group that has. and can afford, private par- ties, dinners for faculty members, en- tertain fraternities at dances and friends at dinner. Social life outside of this is practically non-existent. A sorority gives to its members a life passport to congenial friends after graduation who otherwise would be hard to meet. If anyone should be especially honored with the sorority system it is the housemother, who has to listen to the grumbling and the noisiness of the students, and their constant complain- ing. It is her responsibility to see that L Diversity rules are complied with. Mrs. Ralph Baldwin has served as a sorority housemother longer than any- other one on the Hill. This is her twelfth year at the Gamma Phi Beta house. Others who serve as housemothers are: Mrs. P. H. Klinkenberg. Kappa Alpha Theta; Mrs. Jane McLean, Pi Beta Phi; Mrs. Rachel Butler, Alpha Chi Omega; Mrs. Nell S. Butcher, Alpha Delta Pi: Mrs. William Huttig, Alpha Gamma Delta: Mrs. C. H. Landes, Alpha Omicron Pi; Mrs. Edith Martin, Chi Omega; Mrs. 0. W. Nauman, Delta Zeta; Mrs. Margaret Perkins, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Mrs. J. N.

The style followed by Mr. Ware is so distinctive that it is useless for a staff member to try to re-write the story and still retain the human interest which he has created. A SMALL boy stretched, belly down, on the bright figured living room carpet. His elbows sank into a newspaper, spread wide. His palms cupped his chin. Oblivious to all about him, he read avidly. Suddenly he lifted his gaze from the columns beneath him, and the sort of light that reflects resolution and de- termination shone in his eyes. He stared through the open window, at the drying leaves rustling earthward through the bright autumn Sunday sunlight. Just wait ' till I get there! the small boy muttered. Just wait! We ' ll show ' em then! Ole Huskers! Boo! Looking down for the veriest instant, he again read the headline: Ne- braska Beats Kansas. He raised himself to a sitting posture. Legs crossed, tailor fashion, he smote THEY SAID HE WAS TOO SMALL a small tight fist against a small, chubby palm. Just wait! he breathed tensely. I ' ll show ' em! There was room for but one ambition in Georgie Bowles life. S hen he grew up he was going to K. U. and become a Jayhawker and help lick the Corn- huskers. If necessary he ' d do the job single-handed. Just how he ' d accom- plish it. if occasion should demand, he hadn ' t yet decided, but accomplish it he would. As he reviewed the scores of recent meetings, it looked indeed as if a man on horseback were Kansas ' only- hope. True. K. U. had won a few times. In 1899. the Huskers had been bumped most gloriously, 20 to 35. but in the years both before and after this grand day. victory had been almost the mon- opoly of the team from the north. Well, if a man on horseback, or a Dick Merriwell were the very least K. U. could get along with. then, by jimminy. Georgie Bowles would become either or both, if need be! How he counted the days, not just until he would enter high school, but until his preparatory career accom- plished, he would fare forth on his grand errand to Mount Oread. Already he had a football, and it was almost as much a part of him as his nose. That football was going to become as familiar to him as the sound of his own voice! Dumpy Bowles slumped disconso- lately on the turf just beyond the boundaries of the Kansas football yard. He had just been told that it was no use. He was too small. After all these years of waiting, after all these years of eager anticipation and inspired planning and faithful practice and resolute play through high school all, all had been in vain! He couldn ' t make the team! He reflected that Nebraska wasn ' t on the Jayhawkers ' schedule this year any- way, but the thought brought him no consolation. Missouri was there, all right and how he had longed to do things to those Tigers! Though he probably never gave the matter thought.

The winner of this honor was Miss Avanell Bushmeyer, a member of Gamma Phi Beta. Miss Bush- meyer possessed all the qualities of queenliness that was necessary to thor- oughly impress the Nebraska football squad, to whom she was hostess during its stay in Lawrence, and also the large crowd that gathered on Mount Oread to watch the Jayhawkers and the Corn- huskers meet in their annual battle. Miss Bushmeyer succeeds Miss Lucy Trees who occupied the throne at the 1933 homecoming. However, the recep- tion given Miss Bushmeyer on the day of the game might be termed as the wettest in the history of the office. Friday night, before the game, she carried out the first official duty fol- lowing her election. She was introduced to the crowd at the mass rally held in the stadium. At this gathering, she made a short address in which she expressed her appreciation for the honor which had been bestowed upon her, and also urged the team on to victory the follow- ing day. On Saturday morning, she was on hand to greet the Nebraska team upon its arrival in Lawrence. Prior to the start of the mud battle in the afternoon, Miss Bushmeyer presented a bouquet of chrysanthemums to the Nebraska captain, and then assumed her throne behind the Nebraska bench. The adverse weather conditions, however, drove her from her perch, and she entered the stands to view the rest of the game. (Continued on page 151) THE QUEEN, WITH THE CAPTAINS, BEFORE THE GAME Well, it ' s over! It will be another year before the walls of the Union building, Auditorium, and the coke and smoke dives will ring with the question, Are we going to beat Nebraska? How long will that question be an- swered with Hell yes!! only before the finish of the game. The Nebraska game this year marked a climax to a colorful homecoming pro- gram, one of the most extensive in years. Band concerts, torch parades, pep rallies, the annual meeting of the Kan- sas editors, alumni dinners and ban- quets, all tended to instill the home- coming spirit. On Fr iday, the day be- fore the game, over 3,000 hoboes and hoboettes took Mt. Oread and the city of Lawrence by storm. ' The stage was set hundreds of alumni and former students were back for homecoming, pep rallies had raised the hopes and strengthened the confi- dence of the students and football team, the Kansas editors cut short their con- ferences, and the Jayhawkers were even conceded a chance to win ! ! Then came the noon Rain ! ! Rain ! ! Pouring rain that fell with business- like regularity. What had been a beau- tiful Saturday morning had been trans- formed into a bleak and dismal after- noon. But on came the spectators, 17,000 strong, with their spirits not in the least dampened. The stadium took on an air of festivity. You soon became accus- tomed to a stream of water running down your back, and the fellow just behind kicking mud down your neck. Many oilcloths of pink, yellow, green, and even the old red checks were used as improvised raincoats. The game started in a driving rain that considerably lessened the chance of the Kansas offense to click. Relying mainly on an aerial attack, the Jay- hawkers had to play a defensive game and hope fervently for a break. For three quarters, the stubborn Jayhawker defense staved off all Cornhusker scor- ing threats, but in the final period, Ne- braska launched a drive that resulted in victory. Bert Yelkins, Cornhusker reserve end, place-kicked the heavy ball cleanly over the cross-bar, after his team-mates had lugged it down to the Kansas 4-yard line.

These col- leges or clubs developed from the fact that the fraternity was taking too much time from the university student which would otherwise be spent in studying. These clubs are interested, for the most part in scholarship. Since there is no essential difference in being a fratern- ity man and a non-fraternity man and since the main object of the student at the university is to learn, this change was gradual and easy. In the University of Kansas, where the fraternity men, on the whole, holds sway, the non-fratern- ity men often take the honors in scholar- ship. If the prize should go to a fra- ternity man he will be found living in an unorganized house in many cases. The man who makes his name in the scholastic world has little time for ob- ligations that take up much of his time. The non-fraternity man ' s only obliga- tion is to his studies. Since in the class room both fraternity and non-fraternity men are thrown together and since the activities and interests of men students do not vary noticeably, it is quite natural for the fraternity and the non- fraternity men to mingle with each other. Since the non-fraternity man is playing an increasingly important part on the campuses as the years pass, the invisible barrier between fraternity and non-fraternity men is slowly but surely breaking down. Non-fraternity men are engaging in more and more activities, making better grades, and participating in all kinds of sports. Who knows that the University of Kansas might adopt in the dim future the system of col- leges and clubs of the east and of Oxford, combining the outstanding points of the fraternity and the unor- ganized house system into one organi- zation? The non-fraternity man in the unor- ganized houses has rapidly increased in importance during the last few years. A number of years ago politics were entirely controlled by the fraternities and the organized houses. Their influ- ence was felt at every turn. All of the offices of the Men ' s Student Council were filled by fraternity men. Other organizations were completely domin- ated by the fraternity men. The un- organized non-fraternity men organized to form a club among whose interests were politics. Then non-fraternity men Back Row.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 123 were included in bot h party tickets. Now one party has taken another step. It has offered representation on a 60-40 per cent basis. The two-thirds of the men students who are unaffiliated might be receiving equal representation in politics through this offer. Non-fratern- ity men are now at the head of the Pachacamac party which was once con- trolled entirely by fraternity men. The president of the Men ' s Student Council as selected by the student body has been a non-fraternity man for the past few years. Now one-half of the membership of the political offices are filled by non- fraternity men. Truly, the non-fratern- ity man plays an important part in di- recting the destinies of the student body politically. In intramurals, non-fraternity men have made themselves outstanding. Last year non-fraternity men. organized under the name of Collegians won the tennis championship in the fall and tied with Kappa Sigma for first in the spring. The handball tournament was won by a team of Kayhawks by a large margin. In basketball the Rexall team won first place in the B division. Be- sides these winning teams there were other teams in almost every field of competition. In scholarship the unor- ganized houses vary, of course, some of the houses have above a Phi Beta Kap- pa rating, while others fall below the level of the ordinary social fraternity. Individually men who live in the un- organized houses achieve far greater heights in scholarship. For instance, the five new men elected to Sachem are non- fraternity men. Last year the applicant for the Rhodes scholarship from Kan- sas to the district meeting was a non- fraternity man and two of the three candidates from the L T niversity of Kan- sas this year are non-fraternity men. Even the honor award is not removed from the non-fraternity men. It is in this academic field that most non-fra- ternity men attempt to make themselves famous. The purpose of most non-fra- ternity men lies in this direction rather than in the social world. In fact, this is so true that many fraternity men retire to the quiet seclusion of an unorganized house so that they may do some real honest studying. It is in these houses and houses of like nature that the high scholastic ratings are achieved. 1231 OREAD Bmft Bow: SAM MeKINNEY, HAMILTON; PAUL L. MARRIOTT.

UNIVEBSITY OF KANSAS 125 _ife at Nebraska BY DAN C. EASTERDAY To the sports - minded a producer of great football teams: to the average person just another university THINK Nebraska is one of the greatest universities in the country I would think so! But I don ' t hope to prove that to you of K. U., even if I first admit that Kansas is also a great university. The purpose of this article is merely to give you a glimpse of cam- pus life at Nebraska, so that you may compare it with that at Kansas and other universities of the same rank throughout the Middle West. Nebraska is by no means the mam- moth institution which many people seem to think. Enrollment this year is 5,700; but that ' s only part of the pic- ture. You must realize that this figure includes the College of Agriculture, the campus of which is entirely separ- ate and that it is approximately two miles from the main campus. The fact of the matter is that the number of students on the down-town campus is about the same as that at other Big Six schools; and it is here that there exists what is generally meant by campus life at Nebraska. This campus is quite close to the business center of Lincoln, a small metropolis of 80,000. In fact, from the center of the campus to the center of the business district is a distance of only four blocks. This has its disad- vantages. The campus, comprising only 56 acres (not including the Ag campus, of course) is somewhat huddled. Park- ing space is at a premium, for many business men park along the campus. But though the area covered is small, the older part of the campus is quite beautiful, and the newer portion is being made so. Long walks cut across the lawns in every direction, shaded by fine old trees and (in the spring and fall) bordered by flower beds. The new- buildings (Nebraska has quite a build- ing program) center around two hand- some malls. A mall is a large expanse of grass surrounded by a road. Aside from their looks, they provide grand places for the R.O.T.C. to parade with lots of co-eds looking on. I suppose that every university has one or two colleges which are a little different from the rest. If so. Nebraska is no exception. Perhaps the most dis- tinctive is the Law College. Traditions are followed by the Laws today just as they were years ago. The best known on the campus is the Brown Derby. This is just what its name implies a dirty old brown lid which doesn ' t look like much of anything now. To the freshman law student making the biggest boner each week goes this head- piece, and the duty of wearing it wherever he goes during class hours. They even give the lucky (?) fellow a big write-up in The Rag (Daily Ne- braskan to you), so that the whole campus will know his sin. This tradi- tion is really followed one hundred per cent. Another old custom of the Law Col- lege is that of singing in class. Almost every professor has some song which has been arranged for him; and never a week goes by but what he is greeted by the sweet refrain as he enters the classroom. Surprising as it may seem, the Dean of the College approves of the singing. It ' s the old idea of having a good time and then settling down to business. The only difficulty in carry- ing on this custom is with freshman Laws. Thev are usuallv so meek and THE NEBRASKA STADI UM mild that it becomes necessary for no- tice to be given, by writing on the blackboard something like this: It is hereby decreed and commanded that the Freshmen shall enter into the spirit of the College by singing songs and raising Hell in general. (Signed) Jun- iors and Seniors. It might be well to mention that 10 per cent or more of the students in the Law College are flunked out each semester. (What makes you think I ' m a lawyer?) Another college which is distinctive is the Ag school. As mentioned before. the Ag campus is about two miles from the rest of the University. As a result. the Ag students live pretty much by themselves. They have their own parties. to which admittance is restricted to A ON THE STEPS BETWEEN CLASSES 126 THE JAYHAWKER THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING students; they have their own publica- tions, a football team and a basketball team, and other activities of their own. Each year the College puts on the Farmers ' Fair, starting with a big par- ade through the city in the morning, and with exhibits, riding contests, dances, sideshows, and merry-go-rounds throughout the rest of the day and the evening. The Ag students work to make the Fair a success, and those few who don ' t work literally drown their sor- rows. A large horse tank is set out in the middle of the campus, and all guilty of sluffing on the job are uncere- moniously thrown in. This tank isn ' t used only on Ags, however. Woe be to the student from another college who tries to crash one of their Ag dances, for he will be detected and very thor- oughly and properly tanked. I know I tried it and was tanked. Yes, football is king at Nebraska. (-Of course, Pittsburgh turned out to be an assassin; and as for your friends from up the Kaw well, skip it!) Around football has developed a wide variety of other activities which con- stitute much of the student life at the University. During the season, all Ne- braskans talk football incessantly. Prac- tically speaking, every student attends every home game; and the whole city with its thousands of alumni turns out in a big way, with a large crowd com- ing from Omaha and delegations from all over the state. If the stadium is not full, the crowd is said to be small. And they ' re loyal. When the team is losing, they stay on and see the game out, cheering harder than ever. Football is the money-maker. It makes possible the remainder of the athletic program, both inter-collegiate and intramural. Nebraska competes with other schools in basketball, track and field athletics, baseball, swimming, wrestling, two-mile racing, rifle marks- manship, tennis, and boxing. King Football supports all of these except the rifle team, which is sponsored by the Military Department and financed largely by the Military Ball. Naturally, some of the gals go for the football players. At the parties or on the campus, there are co-eds who are always to be seen on the arm of one of the big brawny heroes. To this ex- tent, the football men do rate socially; but when you analyze the student body as a whole, the prominent activities men outrank the heroes in real popu- larity with the other students. Many and varied are the activities on the Nebraska campus, but actually the biggest is politics, although it doesn ' t appear so on the surface, except at elections, when for two or three weeks the campus becomes an inferno politicians meeting, discussing, and cussing big write-ups in the Rag prophets proclaiming to one and all what the outcome will be the unbrand- ed voters finding themselves on a sud- den wave of popularity. Then comes the election itself, followed by a couple of days of conversation, celebration, and recrimination; and then politics goes underground again. The campus had a big jolt last year when the political parties suddenly re- organized. Up to that point, there had been two major parties the Blue Shirts and the Yellow Jackets. The non- fraternity men were usually organized into a party of their own, but at times they affiliated with the Yellow Jackets. At this election in the spring of 1933, the parties had made their nominations and the candidates had filed. Without THE SOCIOLOGY BUILDING eTNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 127 warning, two days before the election, a bombshell struck the campus. The Sunday Nebraskan appeared with glar- ing headlines proclaiming the forma- tion of a new political party the Green Togas. This was bewildering to a large portion of the men on the campus, for it left them without a party. Imme- diately a few of the fraternities, not members of the new party, called a meeting of those left out, including the BIRD ' S-EYE VIEW OF THE AG CAMPUS non-fraternity men; and in six hours that Sunday afternoon a new alignment sprang up. It was called the Progres- sive Party Progress, not Politics was the slogan. This action caused even more excitement. The old parties ' can- didates were filed under their old names. New candidates had to be chosen; everyone had to be instructed as to the candidates to vote for, for the new party names were not on the bal- lot. The furore of those two days sur- passed anything that had ever been seen on the campus before, and seemed much longer because of the excitement that was packed into them. The Pro- gressive Party carried the election by a large majority. In six hours a party had been formed which was strong enough to defeat an All-American full- back whom the Green Togas had nomi- nated for Senior Class President To this day, the majority of Ne- braska students don ' t know what un- dercurrents caused this big upheaval. Here are the facts, for the benefit of any Jayhawker readers who may be politicians. The old Blue Shirt faction, which had been successful in the elec- tions for several years previous, was composed of 21 fraternities; but in this group of 21, there were 11 Greek houses which were working together, each, house to get nominees proportion- ally, and so well that only men in this inner faction were being nominated. However, when nominations were made before that memorable spring election, it was apparent that one of the inner circle was being left out. This house immediately changed its vote, and as a result control of the votes was lost. The ten-remainder of the inner circle con- vened with the dissatisfied Yellow Jackets to form the new Green Togas party. The move was fatal, as the Pro- gressives (a combination of fraterni- ties and non-fraternity men) have car- ried each election since. There is now a trend, however, toward picking the offices on merit rather than on political alignment. Student publications probably con- stitute the most important group of ac- tivities on the Nebraska campus. The Daily Nebraskan. a standard-size four- page morning newspaper published five times weekly, and the Cornhusker, the yearbook of the University, are the all- university publications, supervised by the Board of Publications. The Awgwan, a humorous monthly magazine, is spon- sored by Sigma Delta Chi. There are four departmental magazines: the Ag College ' s monthly Cornhusker Country- man; the Nebraska Blue Print pub- lished monthly by the College of En- gineering; the quarterly Bizad News of the College of Business Administration: and the Nebraska Law Bulletin issued quarterly by the College of Law. A rather unique publication is The Prairie Schooner, a quarterly literary magazine, the purpose of which is to afford publication for the best writing of the middle west, although contribu- tions are drawn from all parts of the country. Under the guiding hand of Dr. Lowry Charles Wimberly, member of the English faculty and founder of the magazine, The Prairie Schooner has gained national repute. The University provides financial subsidy, and staff members are recruited from both stu- dents and faculty. The Student Directory is under the supervision of the University Y.M.C.A. Nebraska students may not cheer any harder for their football team than those at other schools, but their cheering is probably more thoroughly organized. The Innocents Society (sen- ior men ' s honorary) is in charge, choosing and training the cheerleaders and directing the organized cheering section which occupies the central front section in the east stadium. (Cheerleaders are also assigned to other sections of the crowd.) Quite a feature is made of carefully worked- (Continued on page 153) THE INTERIOR OF THE AUDITORIUM UNIVERSITY OP KANSAS 129 The military ball BY KEITH WILLEY A S A TEASER to the spring military ball, the R.O.T.C. held its annual fall dance on the night of November ninth in the ballroom of the Memorial Building. Besides the members of the unit and their dancing partners, there were present reserve and regular army officers and cadet officers from sur- rounding schools. The reception com- mittee was headed by Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Burdick. The honorary colonel, Miss Mary Lou Bagby. presided over the ball. She was accompanied by one of the out- standing young men from the Beta domicile. The members of the unit clearly demonstrated their ability as leaders by immediately assuming full charge of the affair and marching off to the tuneful rhythm of Louis KmWs orchestra. The gathering was resplendent with neatly- pressed uniforms decorated with high- ly polished ornaments and other re- galia, but with here and there a tux- edo sported by one not fortunate enough to possess a uniform. Shining out even above the uniforms was the gay formal finery of the ladies, each topped with a sweetly perfumed corsage. This brings us to the ladies who. after all. are the main features of the military. Far more battles have been fought over woman- hood than over slate ' s rights and val- uable territories. The ladies of the dance were such as one seldom sees even on the stage of the Follies. Although the greater number of the ladies were the cream of the Ml. Oread crop, still some had to give way to the belles of the old home town. It can be rightly said that the military dances attract more out- side talent than any other single social function on the Hill. Naturally a soldier has an inherent tendency to perform on the dance floor in the same precise manner as on the parade ground. At the start of each dance, the entire unit performed the Present Arms r ' more nearly as one man than ever on the drill field: the only- difference being that at the completion of the movement the gallant soldier found in his clasp not a heavy Spring- field, but a light-footed damsel who was more than ready for the skirmish across the polished oaks. It was noted that even the raw recruits performed facings and marching steps far more complicated than they are ever called upon to per- form upon the parade ground. No dance would be quite complete without the snipers. more formally called stags who hung around the outer edge of the skirmish line and waited for opportunities to dart in from behind a pillar and dash off with a maiden fair. However their number was surprisingly small, almost too small. The R. O. T. C barbecue BY KEITH WILLEY THE R.O.T.C. cadets were given their first taste of the enjoyable side of military life for the current year when they cooperated with the boys at the Lone Star C.C.C. Camp in arranging a barbecue on the night of October 25. Of course, there were a few of the sol- diers who did not attend because they did not want any of the moonlight to be wasted on such a warm night. Transportation for R.O.T.C. as well as for the other guests was provided by a motor caravan consisting of 42, cars and three trucks. The caravan was un- der the very able command of Lieuten- ant Brady, and was escorted by the local motorcycle police. Little difficulty- was experienced in reaching the isolated spot where stands the impressive camp of the C.C.C. Let it be said that a noisy- reception was given by the youthful hosts and it was well appreciated. The boys did not waste any time in getting the barbecue under way. Im- mense quantities of beans, baked army style, and real barbecued beef were served along with ice cream, doughnuts, and coffee. More than 1000 passed through the first mess line. However this number was somewhat decreased on the second and third return trips. There was no shortage of rations, especially of those luscious baked beans, even aft- er Sergeant Kollender had partaken of his fill.

Braden is the present student head of the Coast Ar- tillery Battalion of Mount Oread ca- dets. Since he is a native West Virginian, perhaps we might be expected to pardon his Southern accent. He is a senior in the College of Liberal Arts and Scien- ces in which he is majoring in Political Science being president of Pi Sigma Alpha, honorary political science fra- ternity. Perhaps it is surprising, even a seem- ing paradox, but it is a fact that Cadet Major Braden is also president of the International Relations Club here on the Hill. He is also a Summerfield Scholar. At times, Bob has been known to scribble sport stories for the Jayhawker. Intramural sports claim a lot of his time, especially tennis, handball, and basketball. He has a particular weak- ness for ping-pong. freshmen students. The training of the unit is supervised by regular army offi- cers.

C., was selected for this high position from a large group of candi- dates by the Hill cadets last spring. She will reign throughout the 1934-35 school year as their official hostess. The two military balls claim her especial atten- tion, but upon occasion she serves as an honorary escort for distinguished guests at athletic events. Miss Bagby comes from Vinita, Okla- homa. She is now a senior in the Col- lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and was on the Women ' s Pan-Hellenic Council for 1933-34. B The Jayhawker cadets especially pride themselves on their choice of the honorary colonel in that Miss Bagby was honored with the title Beauty Queen in 1933. Here are some of her interesting hob- bies: window shopping, knitting sweater suits, reading, and dancing. If one were to inquire further, she would perhaps confess to a perfe ct mania for Silly Symphonies and movies in general. COMPANY D Cadet Capt. E. M. Tucker Company Commander Cadet 1st Sgt. J. W.

They have been severely criticized for this by the stu- dent body, which comprises a majority of the audience to attend the produc- tions. Subtle deep comedy was not what the college students of today wanted. Now, in response to that criticism, the Kansas players have offered Eva the Fifth, a plot that is referred to in dramatic circles as low brow corned , and which is termed by the general populace as corny. This comedy does not rely on subtle lines, but instead re- sorts to such bits of repartee as What in the hell are you going to do about it? and Watch what you are saying or I ' ll smack you in the puss. The play as a whole seemed to hit good old Kansas corn right on the nose. This was especially true in the part played by William Kandt, who represented the sheriff at Hiawatha, Kansas. His actions are quite typical of those of a small town police officer. In searching for a play, the pro- ducers wanted one that would remain at sea level, and Eva the Fifth achieved just that. Although the leads were not given to the oldest and most outstanding members of the Kansas Players, the parts were on the whole very well cast. Virgil Bergman turned in one of the best bits in his portrayal of the character Dave. Bergman in addi- tion to having charge of the props for the production, carried four parts in the show. Virginia Hecker turned in an excep- tionally good performance in the part of Hattie, the little Eva of the Uncle Tom ' s Cabin troupe. She played it with the restraint the part demanded. In her scenes with Newton Wampler, Hiawatha ' s leading mortician, which was played by Allen Crafton, she brought many laughs from the audience. The whole cast carried the burdens well, with the possible exception of Houston Gray, who represented the manager of the Uncle Tom ' s Cabin troupe. Gray didn ' t seem to be hard enough for the part, which was sup- posedly that of a villian. The plot is built around the antics of an Uncle Tom ' s Cabin troupe, while it is on a tour of small central Kansas towns. The action takes place in Hiawatha and in Centralia. The show opens with the troupe jus! finishing a performance. The management has run into financial difficulties, and the ac- tors are all much in need of their pay. Hattie meets the local stage door at- traction, Mr. Newton Wampler, who (Continued on Page 149) UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 133 K. U.

IN 1899 the legislation of Kansas, realizing that there was a pressing need in the state for an ever increasing number of well trained physicians and surgeons to provide medical service for a constantly growing population made provision for the establishment of a School of Medicine for the University. For nineteen years previous to that time a two-year Preparatory Medical Course had been offered. The work offered by the newly established School of Medicine covered the first two years of work toward the M.D. degree. The year 1905 saw the merging of this unit with the Kansas City Medical College, the Medicochirugical College, and the Kansas City College of Physi- cians and Surgeons to form a complete four-year medical course. 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. From time to time this plan has been added to until the elaborate establishment which centers around Bell Memorial Hospital today has been achieved. The wisdom of the administration in founding the School of Medicine is ap- parent upon a survey of the present set-up. As the medics enter upon the thirty-fifth year as a major unit of the University organization they are recog- nized as one of the outstanding medical schools in any state university in the middle west. Doctors who are gradu- ates of K. U. are highly respected by the medical profession throughout the country, and have gained distinction for themselves and their alma mater throughout the medical world. The first year and a half of instruc- tion in the School of Medicine is con- ducted at Lawrence, the remainder being carried on at the hospital in Kan- sas City. Medical classes at Lawrence were originally held in the old Chemis- try building now occupied by the jour- nalism department. When Dyche Mu- seum was built the Medics occupied the basement of that building. Since the Museum was condemned and closed for repairs last year the school ' s equipment was shifted to the present location in the old Commons building. This build- ing was added to and remodeled during the past summer to make the accommo- dations more convenient and adequate. The administration of the School of Medicine at Lawrence is in the hands of Dr. 0. 0. Stoland, secretary of the school. Other members of the faculty are Drs. Sherwood, Woodward, Latimer, and Tracy. The standards of the school are sufficiently high to make possible the selection of only the best qualified candidates for the advanced work at Bell Memorial Hospital. There are seventy-eight st udents in the freshman medic class this semester. While this number has been exceeded in former years the class is a large one. Freshman curriculum in the School of Medicine includes medical bacteri- ology and physiology, and gross and microscopic anatomy. There are three professional medical fraternities located at K. U. which give young men preparing for the medical profession opportunities for social as- sociations and mutual aid in academic problems. Several years ago a chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha, national hon- orary medical fraternity, was installed on this campus. Co-incidental with this event the Kansas Medical School was given an unofficial rating of A plus by the American Medical Association. To develop a feeling of unity and to facilitate their preparation for a life of professional service, the freshmen medics like the upper classes in the school have a formal organization. The officers elected at the first of the year by the freshmen medics are: Paul Har- rington of Kansas City, president; David Robinson of Kansas City, Mis- souri, vice-president, and Benjamin Klauman of Clay Center, secretary- treasurer.

BOB LAMAR. 138 THE JATHAWKER Intramurals for men BY DELMAR CURRY THROUGH a myriad of spinning footballs, swiftly moving tennis rackets, and flying track shoes, approxi- mately 150 athletes survived an original field of over a thousand University men as competition in the fall program of intramural sports progressed to the championship rounds. For the second time in as many years, the pyramid system of individual play introduced by E. R. Elbel, director of intramural athletics, and designed to provide a continuous competition throughout the season by substituting a challenge system for the elimination tournaments was used. Nine hundred and seventy-six con- tests were played by 1,042 aspirants THE DELTA CHI TRACK TEAM battling for playoff positions in the five fall sports touch football, track, ten- nis, handball, and horseshoes. Tennis players showed the greatest amount of. interest by completing 245 contests, closely followed by the handball play- ers with 233 challenges. Horseshoe players met in 210 encounters during the month of preliminary play. Touch football held its previously es- tablished popularity in the team events, and 85 games were necessary to de- termine the division winners. Tennis was a close rival in the group events with one less conflict, while horseshoe and handball teams competed in 66 and 54 matches respectively. A well-balanced Delta Chi track team captured the first championship of the year by leading 15 teams in one of the closest finishes in intramural track history. Taking a one-point lead at the conclusion of the first afternoon ' s events, the winners stood off a final bid by Beta Theta Pi to win by one point. Kappa Sigma, winner last spring, fin- ished one and one-fourth points behind the champions. Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Theta, in fourth and fifth places, were within four points of the winners in the dramatic blanket finish. The order of finish for the meet was Delta Chi, 31; Beta Theta Pi, 30; Kappa Sigma, 29%; Phi Kappa Psi, 28; Phi Delta Theta, 27; Delta Tau Delta, 21-%; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 19; Collegians, 17%; Phi Gamma Delta, 14; Triangle, 10; Alpha Tau Omega, 9%; Sigma Nu, 8; Kappa Eta Kappa, 6, and Sigma Chi, 5. From the opening game, the touch football season was a series of closely contested, thrilling contests, marked by a noticeable improvement in the de- fensive play of the contending teams. Old rivalries were renewed, and new combinations made their appearances to add to the interest of a season al- ready filled with colorful struggles. The defending champion Phi Delts were eliminated from this year ' s titular race by an accurately kicked placement by Reed Voran, Delta Tau fullback, whose field goal accounted for the only points in an evenly fought contest. By holding a strong Sigma Chi eleven to a scoreless tie, Delta Tau captured first place in the division which in addition included Kappa Sigma, Kayhawk, Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Nu. Sigma Chi became the second repre- sentative from the division to obtain a playoff place by having a to tie with the Phi Delts as the only other blemish on its record. With John Darrah scoring the lone touchdown, Sigma Alpha Epsilon topped another division by defeating Phi Psi 8 to in the championship game of the division. Phi Psi and Beta THE BETA ' S BLOCK A D. U. PASS held one of their traditional battles with no decision being reached after 40 minutes of play, and the score remained deadlocked at 6 to 6. The former or- ganization placed second in the division, however, by tallying four victories over Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, Kayhawk. and Delta Upsilon. Of the teams which gained the 1933 touch football playoffs, only two re- peated last year ' s performances and ranked among the two top teams in their divisions this fall. Phi Chi, finalist last fall, remained undefeated in the round robin play by eking out a number of close wins. Delta Tau for the second successive year placed another strong eleven on the field to be the other or- ganization repeating its 1933 showing. Four of the final eight teams in the tennis team tournament remained un- defeated in division play preceding the final drawing. Delta Tau, defending champion of the five-man net teams, marched through all opposition to sharf a division title with Beta, and drew an its first playoff opponent the Collegians, McCASKILL, PHI GAM, WINS THE 100 YARD DASH UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 139 , runners-up to the title last spring. The undefeated Kappa Sigma netsters drew the equally successful Beta team in an- other first-round encounter. Sigma Alpha Epsilon tangled with Kayhawk. and the Phi Gams met the Pigs in the concluding first round match. The four-wall handball teams strug- gled through a three division bracket with Beta, Kappa Sigma, and Kayhawk standing out as the favorites with un- marred records as they go into the championship draw. Theta Tau. Phi Psi. Triangle, and Phi Delt played for the remaining second positions. Another three-way battle royal en- sued in the horseshoe competition as tossers from Theta Tau, Beta, and Tri- angle impressively downed all opposi- tion. Trailing the leaders with single defeats were the Kayhawks, Kappa Sigs. and Campus Raiders, each capable of exhibiting some expert peg ringing. A strong group of racket wielders. including two stars with state titles, reached the quarter-final round of the inter-organization tennis tournament. Favored to retain his championship, J. C. Gross, Kappa Sig and former state junior college singles champion, swept through his bracket with little opposi- tion. James Kell, Phi Gam and twice a member of the state championship high school doubles team, has been seeded to go to the finals against Gross, and has a wide stubborn opposition. Newton Hoverstock, Delta Chi and Topeka jun- ior champion, and Bob Steele, Collegian and runner-up to Gross last spring, are expected to put up interesting battles in the later rounds of play. Morrison. Kappa Sig; Clement, Alpha Tau Omega; and Ewers, Sigma Alpha Ep- silon, complete the bracket of eight. JOHNSON, SIG CHI, GETS AWAY FOR A GAIN AGAINST A.T.O. HORSESHOE PITCHERS IN ACTION The Kayhawks and Kappa Sigs al- most completely monopolized the final places in the inter-organization handball championship. The former group represented by Packard. Braden. and Rapoport found an imposing trio of Kappa Sigs remaining in the play as Morrison. Colson, and Kiel stayed in the running. Van Cleave, the other re- maining hope, represented the last Phi Delt interest in the tourney. High percentages for ringers were registered in the concluding matches of the horseshoe play which was Stout. Theta Tau. veteran of former shoe toss- ing meets, reach the semi-final round with Kerr, Acacia. Triangle and Beta each had a single representative in the next to last bracket with Dvorak meet- ing Shea for the right to enter the finals. While organization contestants were competing for points in the intramural all-sports sweepstakes race, all men students of the University were invited to enter the open tournaments. Two for- mer college net stars, Carl Stensaas of Bethany College and Everett Emery of Baker University, reached the finals of the open tennis tournament without dif- ficulty as their steadier play and greater experience proved too much for oppos- ing tennis players. Curtis Packard and Paul Rapoport sought additional competition outside the inter-organization handball meet. and in addition to gaining a place in the organized playoffs, also reached the finals of the open four-wall tourney. Trophies for the individual and team winners in both the open and inter-or- ganization fall events will be presented at the First University of Kansas Intra- mural Carnival sponsored by the Men ' s Student Council in the University audi- torium early next spring. Intramural competition was started at the University of Kansas in order to supply a means of exercise for the men of the University who were not physically able to enter into varsity ath- letics. The scheme was immediately taken up by the students, and now a majority of them participate in the var- ious sports offered by the physical edu- cation department. Besides providing healthful exercise for the participants, the intramural program has instilled a sort of friendly rivalry between the various organizations involved. So much spirit has been aroused that often times large crowds assemble on the intra- mural fields to cheer their favorite team on to victory in baseball or touch foot- ball. Each year the intramural program has become more extensive, and it looks as though the program will be accepted by all of the men students before many- years pass. 140 THE JAYHAWKER w omens Athleti ics BY CAROL HUNTER II f 00 -T- OW ! Ooo ow ! Just X y look at that bump swelling upon my shin! Do you suppose I ' ll be permanently disfigured? Oh dear! I do hope it won ' t show below my dress. People ' ll think I look like the Wreck of the Hesperus. Why did I ever take up this hockey? Well, there ' d be some twenty-six girls over at the gym with hockey sticks in their hands who wouldn ' t be able to tell you quickly enough why they themselves did. Why? Because they think it ' s darn good fun even if it does produce banged shins, and a desire for an escalator up that steep south slope. Incidentally, some of those more rotund individuals of the feminine gender who would like to re- move a bit of that excess avoirdupois or tighten up flaccid muscles ought to find hockey just the thing. Wait, don ' t rush girls hockey is all over until next year now. The sophomore-senior team just finished off a nice meal of the freshmen and juniors in the annual tournament. But after that, both teams got together at the Hockey Feed and friendly relations were once more es- tablished. The presentation of W. A. A. awards and the announcement of the honorary varsity team made everyone feel well satisfied with this year ' s hockey season. Noise, and still more noise!! One could fairly see the roof of Robinson gymnasium rise up and the sides bulge out with each new tumultous outburst. On not one, but on many evenings this fall, has such an outburst occurred. Why? Because one of the most exciting volleyball seasons in years has been in progress. Games won by margins of only one or two points even overtime periods to break ties have been of common occurrence this fall. The Pi Phis with their up and coming crop of athletes proved their superiority to the other sororities, but couldn ' t quite man- age to subdue the Independent team. The score in the final game between the Pi Phis and the Independents was 38-37. The members of the winning Independ- ent team are Betty Parkinson, captain; Mary Irwin, Mildred Irwin, Lois Scog- gins, Dorothy Young and Dorothy Owsley. Sign up! Sign up!

It was first organized as a de- partment in 1885, and Lucius E. Sayre was called from Philadelphia to be its head. Accommodated in a small way in the chemistry building, it soon outgrew its quarters and the east and north base- ments of the building were excavated and fitted for pharmacy students. In 1891, the department was advanced to the status of a school, and Professor Sayre became its dean. Under the guid- DEAN L. D. HAVENHILL ance of Dean Sayre, who had estab- lished a national reputation in his pro- fession, the school became one .of the eighteen pharmacy schools in the United States with an A ranking. Daddy Sayre, as he was known to the students, gave the remaining forty years of his life in relentless service to the school. Although he was intensely interested in the advance of pharmaceutical science, the lighter side of the profession was never oblivious to him, which fact is exemplified by a lecture which he once gave on The Use of the Drug Store Towel. At his death in 1925, L. D. Havenhill, the present dean, took over his work. Dean Havenhill, who is a representa- tive from Kansas to the National Phar- maceutical Association, is also one of the authors of the National Pharmaco- poeia. With Dean Sayre, he was co-au- thor of a text book on pharmacy. He is a quiet, kindly man, whose friendliness and sincerity tends to make him a friend to everyone with whom he comes in contact. Since he joined the faculty in 1899, he has been instrumental in bringing about many improvements in the school. Undistinguished by any professional marks, such as the eternal presence of a cane, the pharmacy student has a dif- ficult time maintaining his individual- ity. Possibly his only means of identi- fication is a cheerful disposition. A grouchy druggist would be an impedi- ment to humanity. What a dreary thing an alka seltzer would be without a grin and a sympathetic comment from its dispenser! Some of the students who have chosen this profession are sons or daughters of druggists, who have grown up in the corner drug store, and learned to love the smell of iodoform and phenol, the big, brown bottles and shake well labels. Freshmen in the school are not im- mediately plunged into the secrets of pharmacy, but must first wade through such subjects as mathematics, rhetoric, and chemistry before they are allowed to enter the sacred recesses of the drug laboratory, where, amid filtering and percolation, everything from sugar pills to horse liniment is made. The years before are occupied with learning medi- cinal substances, the plants from which they are derived, and their various com- binations. In addition to having a knowledge of chemistry and botany as applied to pharmacy, the student must be an expert microscopist. Three divisions in the school are open to students: the commercial, for those who wish to engage in retail phar- macy; the scientific, for specialized fields such as sugar or biological chem- ists and drug analysts and pre-medical, for those who have had drug store ex- perience and wish to complete pharma- ceutical requirements before entering a medical school. Senior pharmacists have actual ex- perience in filling prescriptions. Many of the standard preparations used in Watkins Hospital, and Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, are compounded in the school laboratory, under the supervision of registered pharmacists. Before facing the state board for ex- amination, students must have had the equivalent of one year of practical experience in a drug store. Here they learn that their training has been in- adequate in many respects. Four years of hard work have not given them even a fair knowledge of cosmetics, or de- veloped their taste in detective maga- zines. How to stretch a limited supply of government alcohol is another prob- lem with which they are unprepared to cope. Perhaps courses will some day be offered along these lines, but it is feared that the curriculum would be sadly overloaded. There are two organizations within the School of Pharmacy, the Pharma- ceutical Society and Kappa Psi, na- tional pharmaceutical fraternity. The Pharmaceutical Society is composed of faculty members and students. This society meets Thursday mornings at 11:30. Kappa Psi is an organization whose members comprise about seventy- five per cent of the men of the school, and gives its members additional social life. At the present time no house is maintained.

This society was organized for the pur- pose of mutually assisting each other in the study of the sciences, especially applied to the art of pharmacy and the practical application of the same, and for friendly intercourse. This society, over the span of years, has been a means of stimulating orig- inal investigations and of bringing the students and faculty into closer contact then is possible in the classroom. It also affords a valuable supplement to the regular course of study. OFFICERS Harry Pratt Earl Guist Cora Rardon President Vice-P ' resident Secretar -Treasurer MEMBERS Harkness, DeWitt Harrison.

THE JAYHAWKBK Campus polylogia says BY PHILIP SPACE AD LINDSAY might be interested in the new shift that an Alpha Chi has invented to take care of an op- posing line, only in this case the line is more or less of a stag line, and the idea is to preserve it instead of ruin it. As the story goes, Carolyn Smith had worked up a nice bunch of the boys to a state where they were exceedingly dale-conscious as far as Carolyn was concerned. Then she bobbled the deal by tying up with a Delt, much to the chagrin of all the other lads who are against monopoly. They were so well in hand that nothing occurred until one of them was aghast to discover the young lady was wearing a lozenge- shaped, black pin. The extra swains turned to greener fields. She turned to the extra swains and found the reason for their coolness. Here is where the shift conies in; she no longer has the pin. on the authority of the swains; the Delt doesn ' t wear his pin, but he still sees very much of the Alpha Chi; and her sisters are wearing a hunted look. So there you are; she won ' t admit it, the Dell doesn ' t have it, the boys can ' t prove it, and your scribe can ' t figure out whether the shift was from left to right in the backfield, or top to bot- tom on the port gun ' les. of the plot are beginning to wonder if Mr. Kaufman may not isolate the gal even more than before, when he returns from abroad. There is on this Hill a Fiji named Jack Rice who has good cause to com- plain to the ; . R. A. or P. W. A. or F. A. C. A. about the most unfair com- petitive methods of the Phi Psis. We think that the said Phi Psis played the entire affair most cagey, but possibly Rice may have other views. It came about after Rice had stepped in and taken command of the Perry (Sweet Isabel, the Pi Phi hope and pride) situation. It was a rather raw sort of a stunt, because when you get right down to it a girl like Isabel really should belong to her public. At any rate the boys living north of the Theta House (Free seats on guest night for the Lil Sands-Louise Eviston retire- ment) came to the conclusion that Perry should be preserved for poster- ity. They imported Danny Kaufman from their chapter at Northwestern, and all is now quiet on the Perry front except that some of the originators Eleanor Cane, of the Gower Place fiance-farm, affords a beautiful illus- tration of the fact that habits are often dangerous things. Your scri vener real- izes that if he hadn ' t been on the look- out for human frailties he wouldn ' t have placed this particular interpreta- tion on the following incident; it is told herewith in the belief that others may have the same viewpoint. It came about that Miss Cane ' s father came up to see her, and took her to dinner and a show in the best of collegiate manner. It was a lovely evening, and in deference to her status as a grown-up college girl her father was exceedingly gallant. He took her back to the Kappa hostelry at the customary hour and bade her goodnight in a fatherly manner at the door. It is her answer that puzzles us. He kissed her and she said, Ohhh thanks so much for everything.. Call me real soon. This story may be wide of the mark, but if so, why were her ears so red when she went into the house? There have been many clubs to flour- ish at this institution, each leaving its little stain on the escutcheon of the Uni- versitatus Kansiensis; to name a few, the Sigma Chi Stags, to end all dates; the Beta Freshman Club to End All Clubs and All Clubbing; the Sigma Nu Good Housekeepers (Farrell Strawn, pres.) ; the Allied Loves of Marian Fegan; and now we have the Infant and Honorable League of Refugees from Toddy Haines, composed of Phi Delt Bill Townsley, and Sigma Chis Bob Childs and Ray Isham. Childs isn ' t exactly a refugee; he got in on his promise that if he had gone with the girl in question he would have been a refugee, so the boys let him in. to have a deciding vote in case of a tie. It is rumored that the merry gentlemen have reserved a seat in meetings for Fiji Ben Barteldes against that inevitable day when he shall have that all gone feeling, and thereby be worthy of mem- bership, j J. R. Batten feld, one of the better Betas, has run up against a new Hill fashion, rather disconcerting to those who don ' t happen to be on the long end of the deal. He was somewhat interested in Theta Betty Creager, to the extent that he took her to many parlies. Now he finds that she is more or less proud possessor of J. I. Poole ' s Delt pin, and there is a possibility that said pin may face the winter breezes more openly within a month or so, unless Cupid loses his eye in that time. The whole point is that there are two more Delt pins in the Theta house, two in the Pi Phi house, plus the undoubtedly greater number passing by unbeknown to the Unitiated. Boys, the gals have evi- dently ganged up and decided that one is not in the swim unless one wears a Delt pin. That part is all very well but we suspect someone of cheating; if our figures are not exceedingly wide of the mark, there are more pins than there are Delts! There has been many a hue and cry over subsidization of athletes at this and other playhouses in the Big Six, and we feel it is our duty to expose a bad case of that practice at our jernt. Lives there a football player with pan so dead that he hasn ' t ridden in the flashy blue Plymouth sedan, dashingly piloted by one June Ulm? At one time it appeared that she was methodical enough to have worked out a sort of male route, whereby she could take the greatest number of men the longest dis- tances with the minimum of effort, but big Devon (Valparaiso) Lemster ruined the works when he look over the duties of unofficial and clandestine inspector of the usherettes at the Gra- nada Theater. (Don ' t laugh, he has had ten chances to sublet his contract.) We are drifting from the subject; we set out to expose something, and we are going to do it. Have we not fields for practice, instead of letting our half- backs polish up on huddles in roving sedans? Can ' t we divide up the players among the different sororities, instead of damaging spirit by letting them all accrue to one siren? Rally ' round, you tried and true sure-shots, remedy this ..situation! UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 115 . 146 THE JAYHAWKEB Campus clothes BY HIM THE arrival of cooler weather turns the thoughts of the women and most of the men towards social events which the calendar will bring forth for the next few months. The advent of these more formal oc- casions brings to the mind of those of the faculty who are guests at these affairs the problems of whether they should wear tail coats on these formal occasions. It has become a matter of specula- tion with us, as to who would be the first of the student body to venture forth in this type of strictly fojrnal attire, and have hounded those few occasions which opened our university formal season, in hopes of seeing the tailcoat taking its place among the attire of the evening. At the military ball we were re- warded with a glimpse of Herb Muel- ler, the German exchange scholar, liter- ally resplendent in his tails and trim- mings. While such a custom is prob- ably not new to Mr. Mueller, coming from a country where dress is a much more important item than it seems to have been here at the University, in the past at least, we welcome the appear- ance of evening clothes on a member of the student body. As for the faculty, the chancellor has always done the honors in the past, so far as evening clothes were concerned, but with a bit of encouragement no doubt the rest of the faculty will gladly don this attire, which they have hither- to felt to be a bit out of place. While the aforementioned lines in- dicate our desire to see this type of at- tire more universally worn, on the cor- rect occasion, we do not by any means wish to convey the impression that the tuxedo is losing any of its popularity. The tuxedo has always been correct and will continue to maintain that standard. The double-breasted tuxedo holds the spotlight at the present time, for even- ing wear. Sufficiently so, that for the Delt party, J. I. Poole, Don McMoran, and several others were present in the latest version of these dress clothes. While some people claim that the dou- ble-breasted tuxedo is too much like an ordinary business suit, this is done away with to a great extent, in that in- stead of being buttoned to the top but- ton, they roll to the lower button, there being only the one button to button. In addition the roll of the collar to this lower creates the shawl collar effect. At the Pi K A party, Vernon Swin- son, Harlan Reynolds, Harry Caldwell, and Frank Leydig were outstanding in their double-breasted tuxedoes. The increasing popularity of the dou- ble-breasted tux has created new styles in tux shirts for wear of course, with either the single breasted or double- breasted model. Here is noted the shirt with a semi-soft front and carrying sev- eral pleats. While this is a bit more fussy than the usual type it is by no means Frilly and presents an ex- ceedingly smooth appearance. Probably more conjecture exists as to the correct overcoat for formal wear, than for any other item. For the most part we observe the double- breasted dark blue or black Chester- field type, with or without the velvet collar (some have a half belt in the back.) Any of these double-breasted dark coats, of the overcoat weight, rather than topcoat weight, are correct and pleasant appearing. Esquire is featuring the Guardsman type of over- coat which is quite similar to the above model, except that the skirt carries con- siderably more flare which gives less of the fitted appearance. The Derby hat has about lost its pop- ularity, being replaced by the black Homburg, and more recently by the black or midnight blue crusher or Fe- dora type that is being worn and fea- tured quite prominently by all style au- thorities. Especially in the Eastern urji- (Continued on page 156) Go where? .... Why down to Ober ' s of course. Our evening clothes have more pep than the Ku Ku ' s ....

She changes her mind with the beginning of each new season, and an old mode of dress is completely replaced. Formats were her victims this year. They were changed from the straight line boyish frocks of last season to the old fashioned feminine creations of the present. This fact was noticed easily by the evening dresses worn by the co-eds of Kansas to the Hill formal functions. Betty Gail Sims. Gamma Phi, was seen at the Sigma Chi party in a black taf- feta with a tight fitting bodice and very full skirt. She resembled the lovely old tintype of yesteryear. Our vote for the smartest formal of the year goes to the white rough crepe trimmed in gold braid, which was worn by Elizabeth Freet. attractive Pi Phi, at the same party. Florence Lee Kehl. Kappa neophyte, looked lovely in an informal tunic at the Freshman Frolic. The tunic was white interwoven with silver threads, while the skirt was black. And no one could easily forget the lovely- black velvet formal which Mary Louise Humphrey, pledge of Chi Omega, has worn. Fashion, however, still likes the modern straight lines in formals and semi-formals. as evidenced when Jo Bur- row, member of Kappa Alpha Theta. wore the bright blue semi-formal with a Buster Brown collar of sequins. Very chic, indeed. While formals are more feminine, sport coats for co-eds are going mas- culine. Fashion ' s ideas never cling to the same theme in two different ap- parels. Betty Eidson and Katie Conklin. pledges of Theta. have been spotted on the campus wearing polo coats of very mannish cut and the coats were worn by both girls with a great deal of style. Joan Jankowsky, who would any day receive our vote for the Hill ' s best dressed girl, was seen early this fall in a beige coat with brown vertical stripes, that was very knockout. And the mink coat that Katherine Kuster. Alpha Delta Pi pledge, wears causes many feminine eyes following her along Oread to fill with envy. But suits still hold their place in the feminine attire. Fashion has seen to it that they shall always hold an important place. Caro- line Bliss. Pi Phi. wears a dark green suit trimmed with beaver fur that many would love to have. Fashion approves highly. I am sure, of the sport dresses being worn by- young ladies of the University of Kan- sas. Few frills and ruffles but straight sensible gowns are being worn to classes. Jane Brosius, Kappa, was spotted recently on the campus wear- ing a brown skirt of rough wool with a brick red top. Red is always a good color in winter weather. V irgil Crook, also a Kappa, walked into the library the other day wearing a blue and brown plaid dress with a brown coat to match. It was indeed a smart outfit. Plaids are popular among girls the world over. Mary Alice Linscott. pledge of Gamma Phi Beta, wore a chic blue plaid well. There are many miscellaneous facts about campus clothes which should be noted. Louise Creveling. Chi pledge, has been wearing a blue wool dress with bamboo buttons. Cork but- tons and belt buckles have also been noted. Finger nails are being painted to match the outfit. What women won ' t do for beauty! Annette Lawrence, fa- mous Alpha Chi. wore black polish to match a black frock at the Freshman Frolic. White gloves are now the newest accessory to be worn with dark clothes. Louise Land. Kappa pledge, wore them recently to a show with a black dress and black coat. Fashion. I am sure, cannot find fault with the mode of dress of the Oread co-eds. She is a difficult taskmaster, but most of us are only too willing to obey her wishes. If only we have the ability to do so. Soon spring clothes will begin to appear. Now this seems like an impossibility, but Christmas al- ways ends the season for new winter clothes and starts the trend toward lighter attire. 148 THE JAYHAWKE3 A pachacamac passes (Continued from page 97) We ' ll have a meeting to decide what in Hell to do with you, and in the meantime you can look the place over. He pressed another button, and a very large headed dwarf wearing a bright red sweater appeared and ushered Horseface through the door. The sight- seeing trip through Hades was about to start. They climbed into a car like the one at the A.T.O. house, though not nearly so crowded and proceeded on their way. Soon they came to a group who were sitting upon a great row of steps. A monstrous centipede was walking back and forth before them, and all these unfortunate individuals were somehow being forced to whistle a simple little tune in time with the great insect ' s steps. A little farther on they came to a sign which read, Chemist ' s Section. ' It is such groups as this that cause us a great deal of trouble, remarked the guide. The entire company of young men were sitting around apparently en- joying themselves, while a small squad of little devils (cute) were sweating over a boiling caldron from which rose a number of nauseating odors. We don ' t seem to be able to bother them, complained the guide, and we are do- ing our best since Beeze has threatened to make this group of Hecklers work on the Artist section, and there is no job in Hades as ignominious as that. He shuddered as he mentiorred the Ar- tist Section. As they proceeded they came upon a handful of young men around a foun- tain which evaporated as rapidly as it spouted. Horseface noticed a familiar odor of ether and formaldehyde ming- ling in with the peculiar smell of the fountain. (Editor ' s note: Don ' t men- tion beer.) (Author ' s note: 0. K.) Medical Section, explained the guide, and Horseface nodded sadly as he real- ized their terrible fate. Then they approached a huge amphi- theater containing hundreds of peo- ple. All had different occupations. Some were attempting to put on riding boots which were several sizes too small, while others nearby were trying to smear grease upon corduroy trousers which somehow insisted upon remaining spot- less. There were others adjusting unad- justable surveying equipment, and one group was being forced to listen to a series of lectures on the aesthetic quali- ties of a slide rule and a calculus book. There were many such tortures as these, and all were crying loudly as is the wont of engineers. Farther on was a group which was chained solidly to the ground. All around them were pianos, violins, singers, etc., each presenting a different tune. The Brain Trust figured this out easily, said the guide. They simply reversed the usual procedure that ' s com- mon on earth. Horseface immediately recalled a raucous Administration building, and he was more than pleased with the tortures being offered this group of musicians. But they were nearing the home of- fice, and as they sped along, Horse- face noticed several series of small buildings. Each had a sign on it, and these signs read in order: For W.S.G.A., For W.S.G.A. daughters, For W.S.G.A. grand-daughters, etc. The grounds around these buildings were filled with all sorts of odd trash such as chains, arrows, gavels, kites, automobile horns, fire alarms, and the like. As they reached the main office, Horseface noticed another long road leading into a great dark cavern. (Au- thor ' s note: The reader can imagine any individual or group of individuals in this cavern, thus saving me a lot of work and criticism.) They entered the office, and Horse- face stood trembling before the great Beezlebubb, whose bald head gleamed dully and whose portly waistline set- tled in such a way as to nicely balance the writhing barbed tail. Young man we have investigated your record, he began. Didn ' t you fail in mathematics? Didn ' t you spend better than a hundred dollars of student money at the Na- tional Student Federation of America convention? Didn ' t you have charge of printing of student election ballots? Didn ' t you enforce traditions that were no longer traditions? Didn ' t you have some friends in the various student councils? Horseface nodded nervously What, he asked, are you planning to do with me? Do with you? Why, my boy, we ' ve been needing a fellow like you for years. Starting tomorrow, you are to be a senior member of the Brain Trust. And the bald Beezlebubb smilingly shook hands with the joyful Horseface Smith, another student of this great university who had made good. The tra- ditions of Hades would now be even better enforced.

Under such muddy cir- cumstances the pigskin was indeed well directed on its way. The Kansas line was very successful in thwarting the Spartan attack, however and next year, the Kansas team will journey to Mich- igan State to reciprocate in its share of the bargain. The Nebraska Cornhuskers were given quite a scare by the battered Old Tiger of Mizzou before they final- ly won 13-6 on their own stamping grounds the same day of the Kansas- Michigan State scrap. As a result of this game every trace of over-confidence was taken out of the Jayhawkers. and they journeyed to Columbia set for the battle. Urged on by an inspiring pep meeting in Kansas City, the Kansas team overpowered the Tigers and came out of the Turkey-Day fray on the long end of a 20-0 score.

Thorne. who is Hattie ' s true love, arranges for a benefit performance, and declares himself the new manager of the com- pany. Wampler forbids Hattie to go on the stage, so the part of Eva goes to her little sister. The second little Eva. a part played very well by Elizabeth Crafton. is terribly stage struck, and in addition she eats too much candy be- fore the performance. She becomes ill as a result of sweets, and as the show goes on she becomes more and more uncomfortable. Finally, instead of be- ing carried away to heaven following the pitiful death scene, she rushes from the stage crying, Oh my God, I ' m sick! ! Hattie rushes in to save the show. She discovers that Wampler makes his living as a mortician, and being married to an undertaker is not her idea of para- dise, so at the last minute she has a change of mind or heart, as the case may be, and marries Thorne.

One immeasurable benefit to be de- rived from a men ' s dormitory would be the beginning of a file for barbs where they could find all the examina- tions that a certain Greek or algebra or history professor has used for the past five years. This one compensation should be worth to many barbs an added fee each month just in order to live under the same roof with such a file. The Greeks have a word for it and a use for it. So should the barbs. Uniform meals made up of a bal- anced diet served at cost to the dormi- tory inhabitants would do away to a large extent with the self-sacrificing barbs who eat chili swimming in grease twice daily in order to have a diurnal dime to spend on a coke with the big moment after a quiet evening in the li- brary. A proper diet for barbs would be greatly facilitated by a dormitory with a healthful meal plan. Closely allied with the matter of eating is the matter of entertaining pro- fessors and teachers at the well-laid board on Sundays or Thursdays. This is one point on which barbs have always been at a distinct disadvantage. Few of them ever assume enough courage to ask an instructor to eat with them in a cafe. But with the dormitpry as his haven the barb might ask almost any- one to dinner with perfect impunity. The men of the dormitory might use this device then as the last resort with which to bolster a rapidly sliding D. The group who made up the inhabitants of the dormitory could even have a pro- fessor talk occasionally on some after- dinner subject such as What Are We to Do about Japan? or What Price Eti- quette? or Modern Trends in American Poetry. Any real student would welcome such chances for added erudition. The men of the dormitory, as a group, could achieve things never possible before. The organization, pat- terning after its sister group, Corbin Hall, could give a winter and a spring party. The planning for these gala af- fairs would compensate for all life ' s little disappointments, such as a snub at the last mid-week varsity or an oh, so final F on the most recent quiz. Life would become suddenly full of meaning if the barbs were pressed by the very real fact of obtaining a tuxedo, a dress shirt, studs, and a tie. All the triviali- ties of existence would be swallowed up by actualities of such great moment. The men of the dormitory would re- ceive invaluable executive training serv- ing on committees to hire the dance or- chestra, decorate the ball room, receive the guests, and plan the punch. Life would be infinitely happier for most barbs at K. U. if a dormitory for their residence were provided. Many men would be put to work to build the huge structure, modern in every detail, completely fireproof. All New Dealers would heartily approve. The cultural features are admirable. The culinary aspects are tempting. The social ameni- ties deserve commendation. The prestige of K. U. as an up-to-the-minute school would be maintained. Let ' s have a men ' s dormitory at K. U.! The class of ' 38 (Continued from page 89) done outstanding work on the squad are Larry Trickett, Clarence Douglass, Forrest Hardacre, Ernest Ireland, Emil Wienecke, Paul Hormuth, and Floyd Hanson. Forrest Frosty Cox has had charge of them in their practices and in their scrimmages against the varsity. With the fall semester well on its way, the class of 1938 has been thor- oughly initiated into the University. Their introduction, hurried by neces- sity, served to bring to their notice the opportunities and the possibilities awaiting them in college associations. Many situations will confront them. Intellectual development in an atmos- phere of camaraderie will be the task along which they will bend their efforts. Their flying start indicates that they are well on the road to this end.

Three sports in which the individual must de- pend upon her own personal ability for the achievement of success. It seems as if tennis is going off according to schedule anyhow, Martha Dodge is out in front in the last rounds of the tournament. It ' s getting to be prac- tically as predictable as the tides that if there ' s a Dodge on the Hill she will be in the final rounds of the tennis tournament. This fall has found the Pi Phis strong on tennis, too. Frances Bruce, Helen Throckmorton, Isabel Perry, and Caroline Newman are some of the arrow girls who stayed right in there. It certainly looks like a strong year for the Pi Phis in the way of ath- letic achievements. Doris Stockwell a member of the Independent team, should be credited with being a serious threat to anyone who is after the same tennis title that she is. Horseshoes have been quite popular this fall because the tournament has been organized in a much more inter- esting manner. Competition has been by teams composed of three members each. In the semi-finals of the tourna- ment, the Alpha Chi Omega team won from the Independent team and Alpha Gamma Delta defeated the Sigma Kap- pa team. Thus, in the final, the Alpha Chi team, composed of Marjorie Horn- baker, Jerry Gaut. and Carolyn Smith, met the Alpha Gam team which con- sisted of Valere Davey, Martha Widbin and Miriam Young. In the handball tournament, which still remains to be completed, Betty- Parkinson, champion for the past two years, appears to be headed unswerv- ingly toward the championship again. Did you ever hear of anything so utterly silly? Girls having a dance all by themselves with no men around but those in Billy Hibbs ' orchestra busy providing warm music as a background for shuffling feet! Hunh h that ' s im- possible. Girls can ' t have any fun at a prom unless there are men and plenty of them around! So spake our campus hero, firm believer in the essentiality of a man for a woman ' s good time. But could he get a date to the local cinema for the same evening as the Puff Pant Prom? He could not! He finally had to give up in despair. And not only did he find himself deprived of the pleasure of a lady ' s company for the evening, but also he discovered himself deprived of his best going-out suit, so what was there left to do but stay home and write out his lab notes! And so, while some of our most attractive masculine personalities got in a bit of brain work that evening, because they lacked the wherewithal for an appearance in polite society, the fascinating feminine per- sonalities of the Hill got in a bit of en- joyable dancing free from the batter- ing ram tactics and may I jump on your feet for a while now system pre- valent at most varsities. There were some snazzy get-ups at the Prom. too. Mildred White and Maxine Woody were the best-looking lady and gentle- man. Betty Parkinson, wearing a wed- ding suit which had not yet been to the wedding, was awarded the prize for being the best dressed stag. Alpha Xi Delta won the cup for the organized house having the largest percentage of its members present. Almost immediately now. the winter sport season with its basketball, deck- tennis, and ping-pong will be getting under way. Come on out, youse gals, and show us your prowess. The homecoming queen (Continued from page 120) Now, Miss Bushmeyer has joined the ranks of the many dethroned mon- archs of the world. Whether or not her inspiration was an aid, a great Nebraska team won a 3 to decision over an equally great Kansas team that after- noon, in one of the most closely fought games ever played between these two traditional gridiron rivals. She carried out her duties with poise and gracious- ness that have seldom been seen by a representative of the University at an athletic contest. Miss Bushmeyer won her queenship over 13 rivals in an election held fol- lowing a practice session a few days be- fore the game. She is a junior in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and is majoring in French. Before com- ing to K. U., Miss Bushmeyer attended Stevens College for girls at Columbia, Mo.

He repeatedly got off exceptionally long punts with the water-soaked ball, one of his kicks traveling 81 yards. Benson, Skewes, and Parsons were the outstanding ground gainers for the Huskers. For Kansas, White and Hap- good were the most consistent ball car- riers. Wells, Phelps, and Clawson stood out among the Kansas linemen, with Scherer, Toman and Meier looking best for Nebraska. Between the halves of the game, the Cornhusker band performed, forming the letters N. U. Then the Kansas band marched on the field, resplendent in their new uniforms, and fearlessly disdainful of the sticky, black mud. Bill Kandt, the drum major, whirled his baton intricate positions, and stepped with his legs brought high- in the mud. The student body rose and cheered to express its appreciation for the many hours of hard work the band men had gone through. Perhaps the most thrilling momrnt was immediately following the game. After seeing their fondest hopes blasted by a successful place-kick, the alumni and students rose at the close of the game and with faces set with determina- tion to win next year sang the Crimson and the Blue, and gave that most fa- mous of all college yells, the Rock Chalk, as only Kansans can ' give it. It was indeed a fitting end to a memorable afternoon. Life at Nebraska (Continued from page 127) out designs in colored cards held up by the organized cheering section at half-time, together with the usual dis- play by the band out on the field. One of the most popular organiza- tions at Nebraska is Kosmet Klub, which dates from 1911, and which con- sists of fifteen members of the three upper classes. Kosmet Klub was founded at Ne- braska in 1911 as an outgrowth of the junior class play that year. It is a co-operative body of fifteen members of the three upper classes which stages two original all-student productions annually. Each fall a morning revue of skits and specialty numbers is pre- sented on the day of some major home football game. A cup is awarded the fraternity and sorority presenting the best act. A spring musical comedy is produced each year shortly before or after spring vacation. This show regu- larly runs from three days to a week in Lincoln and is often taken on a road lour of the important towns of the state. The show is the original work of a student or faculty member, for which the Klub offers a fifty dollar prize each year. Produced entirely by stu- dents with an all-male cast, including pony chorus, the show is the most popular stage event of the campus year. The University Players, under the direction of Miss H. Alice Howell, head of the dramatics department, presents annually a series of about six high class dramas which run a week each in the Temple theater. The cast is regularly selected from the students and faculty of the University. One Shakespearean drama is produced each year, featuring some professional player in the lead role. In addition to the regular plays, the players each year present several one-act plays before civic organizations, and sponsor the Children ' s Theater which gives special matinee produc- tions for children on certain Saturdays throughout the year. At the apex of the hierarchy of stu- dent organizations at Nebraska is the Student Council, supreme legislative, judicial and executive organ of the stu- dent body, in which is vested such au- tonomy in student affairs as is dele- gated to the students by the University Senate, to which the council is alone responsible and to which appeals from SIIMAISI:I LEAhKltK mmummmmmm -I-:AI: IS ASH YI-: AI: OUT, HHBHB BHIMi S in VH.sisr. mvusr.

The coun- cil appoints members of the Junior- Senior Prom committee which manages this closing event of the campus formal season each year where the Prom Girl, one of the campus queens. is pre- sented. Active organizations of the Greek letter societies on the campus are maintained by both fraternities and sororities. The Inter-Fraternity and Pan- Hellenic councils act as legislative and judicial authorities in matters concern- ing Nebraska ' s fraternities and sorori- ties, and their periodical meetings pro- vide a forum for discussion of the problems peculiar to these organiza- tions. The Inter-Fraternity Council is com- posed of one representative and one alternate from each of the thirty-nine fraternities maintaining chapters on the Nebraska campus. Meetings are held once in each three-week period. The Pan-Hellenic Council is com- posed of a junior, senior and alumnae representative from each of Nebraska ' s twenty-one sororities, and one faculty woman named by the University Senate as chairman. The vice-chairman, or stu- dent chairman, is one of the senior stu- dent members, while the secretary- treasurer is one of the junior student members. These two offices pass by ro- tation from house to house on a sched- ule based on the date of founding or reinstatement of each chapter at Ne- braska. The culmination of all activities for both men and women is the Inno- cents and Mortar Board, respectively. The Innocents Society is composed by 12 or 13 men chosen in the spring of their junior year. These men are se- lected on the basis of service to the school in extra-curricular activities, ability, and qualities of leadership, to- gether with scholarship. Mortar Board is composed of 5 to 20 women chosen on much the same basis as the Inno- cents. WINTER SERVICE Don ' t neglect your car through cold weather. Batteries Prestone Chains Alemiteing Inside Service Open All Night Carter Service Call 1300 Of course the ambition of all activity men and women is to be selected for membership in these groups. They spend long afternoons in the publica- tion offices and at various other places in the hope that they may be selected for these much-sought-after honoraries. The school year is divided into three seasons, as the social lions see it Fall, Formal, and Spring. All downtown par- ties before the beginning of Formal season are called Fall Parties. By down- town parties, we mean parties held at one of the hotels with a ten or twelve- piece orchestra playing. The Fall sea- son is decidedly the least important. There are few parties held during this period, but when one is held it is looked forward to by the students for some time, due to the fact that there are so few parties before the first Formal. Formal season opens on the first Fri- day of December each year. Formals are naturally the high-lights of the so- cial year. The unique part of it is that at Nebraska the Military Ball opens the Formal season each year, and that it is without a doubt the biggest party of the whole school year. A good deal of pomp and ceremony goes with this party. There are some two hundred of- ficers and their dates in the Grand March, which takes almost a full hour. There is some new and dif- ferent way of presenting the Honorary Colonel to the spectators each year. We are very lucky to have facilities for really big parties. The main floor of the University Coliseum is large enough for five full sized basketball courts. This large floor may be converted, in a matter of a few hours, into a large dance floor which is completely en- closed by blue velvet drapes and a sky- blue ceiling. Deep blue drapes are dropped from the balcony on all sides, and a canopy drape is hung from the center of the ceiling and tied to the edge of the balcony so as to meet the wall drapes. It is almost impossible to see any of the brick masonry of the building when this has been completed. All of the University parties are held in this building the Military Ball, the Inter-Fraternity Ball, the Junior-Senior Prom, and the all-university parties. Last year there were 1.700 couples at the Military Ball, yet there was room for everyone to dance comfortably. The fraternity and sorority formats are held at the down-town hotels. These parties are all affairs for which a bid is necessary. Most of the Greek houses use the same system for putting out these bids. Each member has so many bids to give to his personal friends, and then the house gives rep bids. These ' rep ' bids go to the most representative men and women in each of the other houses. As it is usually apparent just who the ' big shots ' are, those who attend these parties will al- ways see practically the same people at every party. It is the athletes and the activities men who pull down these bids: and once a person gets onto the ' rep ' list, he is usually safe in counting on a bid for all the parties as long as he is in school, even though he may drop out of activities. These parties have an attendance of from 300 to 400 couples. This makes a rather crowded dance, as the hotel ballrooms are none too large: but no one seems to mind. Dancing, however, is not the only rea- son for attending these parties. Of course they look forward to a good time but they also go so that everyone that is there will see them and will know that they ' rate. ' Besides the Military Ball and the Greek formals. there are two other big parties during Formal season. They are the Inter-Fraternity Ball and the Junior- Senior Prom. As their name implies these parties are put on by the Inter- Fraternity Council and the junior and senior classes. The Inter-Fraternity Ball is held in February. The Junior- Senior, which closes the Formal season. is usually held the first Friday in March. After Formal season come the Spring parties. These are not manv in number, although there are more parties held in the spring than in the fall. The redeem- ing feature of these social affairs is that many different types of Spring parties are given, ranging from sport to spring formals. The social life on the campus proper centers around ' Sosh ' and the ' Moon ' . ' Sosh means Social Science Build- ing. Many Arts and Science College and Business Administration College courses are offered in this edifice (a good word), and as most of the ' cakes ' (that ' s what we call it here you can call it jellying or anything you like) origin- ate in these colleges, all the social lights convene in front of this building be- tween classes for a smoke and a chat. The ' Moon ' is a coffee shop on the edge of the campus (only a half- block from ' Sosh ). Everyone of a ' cak- ing ' disposition spends his time when not in class (or skipping class), in the Moon ' , gossiping, playing bridge, and drinking cokes. (The coffee is terrible). And to top it all we now have Jane Doe. broadcasting over KFOR. Lincoln, five days a week, giving all the dope on the campus high lights and lowlifes. (Don ' t ask me which class I belong in.) 154 THE JAYHAWKER I Cause I ' m a Jayhawk ' (Continued from page 119) at once buffoonish and enormously wise of mein. Dumpy Bowles became an advertis- ing man in Kansas City. As an avoca- tion, he wrote songs and no few of them attained popularity. Each fall found him a pilgrim returned to Oread ' s stony sides where he lifted his voice with thousands in the battle call of Kansas, as only Kansans can give i t. Almost reverently he joined in the anthem that invariably follows the world-famous cry: Far above the golden valley, glor- ious to view ... But Dumpy Bowles still felt that he had failed. He had not realized his grand ambitions. He had done nothing for K. U. But deep down inside, the spirit of the Jayhawk was acting as a leavening. Soon Dumpy Bowles was to serve his school. Give us a rouser! Give us a slogan! Give us anything, everything to get ' em in the mood to shell out! It was 1920. K. U. had begun its campaign for a stadium. Shower down, alumni! Demonstrate your love of old alma in a practical way! All hands to the wheel! Hoorah! A million dollars! Over the top ! Nothing can stop us ! Let ' s go! Don ' t be a slacker! Give for your school! Everybody! Hoorah! Rock Chalk! Almost frenziedly, Dumpy Bowles jerked a sheet of paper from the drawer, spread it on his desk, and hunched over it! First music! Music with pep! Music with a lift! Fighting music! Music to match that mighty yell! Then words! Original words! Kansas words! Some- thing exploded inside Dumpy Bowles. His eyes shone with a light almost wild. He grinned. Hot damn! At last! His time had come! He would serve K. U. and serve her well ! Thus was born I ' m a Jayhawk, best of Big Six conference football pep and battle songs, fit companion for Rock Chalk, greatest of all yells. Dumpy Bowles had a lot to do with building the vast concrete horseshoe that rises high in the vale below Mount Oread. Alumni all Kansans heard the bands toot I ' m a Jayhawk, demanded pledge cards, wrote down generous fig- ures. The tune made ' em proud. Yes sir, you bet they were Jayhawks, and by golly, they ' d prove it! Accomplished big league revivalists know the tech- nique and it has made some of them rich. But I ' m a Jayhawk was not born just to wage one brilliantly trium- phant battle. The stadium is complete. The song lives on, the official arouser of K. U. Not many more years will pass be- fore freshwater college bands will play the tune while their student rooters warble lyrical substitutes. I ' m a Jayhawk like On Wiscon- sin, and Minnesota, Hats Off to Thee, will be paid one of the highest compliments. It will be borrowed by other campuses. You ' ll hear the melody of the chorus at many gridsides, but only where Kansans gather will you hear these words: ' Cause I ' m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay- hawk From Lawrence on the Kaw. ' Cause I ' m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay- hawk With a sis-boom, hip, hurrah! I ' ve got a bill that ' s big enough to twist that Tiger ' s tail, Husk some corn and listen to those Cornhuskers wail ' Cause I ' m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay- hawk Riding on a Kansas gale.

I wondered just what a person who had studied neither chemistry nor physics could ask Dr. Cady about his scientific work when I went to inter- view him. Would I get myself into a mental whirl and wish I had never taken this assignment? I resolved not to show too great a curiosity in his new invention; I could summarize the de- scription of it which appeared in the Kansan. He is a kindly man. I discovered, in- tensely interesting to talk to. and he could meet me at my own level of scientific knowledge when it came to explaining things. I found myself lis- tening to everything he said with great interest, whether it was about the utili- zation of helium or about his inter- ests in general. Still. I thought perhaps I hadn ' t better say much about the new instrument. I arose to go. Would you like to see how the machine works? he asked me. Would I! I really hadn ' t expected him to give me a demonstration, and I eager- ly gave him an affirmative answer. Per- haps he wouldn ' t question me too much about my knowledge of chemistry. And so I was led into the laboratory where Dr. Cady and I sat down, and where I was to learn how it is done. Have you ever had any chemistry? I admitted that I had not. Have you taken physics? Again I had to say no. and I began to wonder why I hadn ' t had to burn- off to my next class. Dr. Cady looked at me with a paternal twin- kle in his eyes. We ' ll have to start at the bottom, then, won ' t we? Into the mysterious and dark (to me) realm of chemistry we went. Dr. Cady began by asking me if I ever swam. He didn ' t ask me how, so I was glad that I had at last a chance to answer in the affirmative. From there we went to displacement of water by the human body, the weight of air, and the defin- ition of a molecule. My eagerness to see the delicate instrument work in- creased. A light, however faint it may have been, dawned, and I wanted to come to the problem myself. The weight of gases. he told me. is affected by temperature and pres- sure. So it is important to regulate these factors in order to make a valid study of molar weights. He then showed me the devices which electrically controlled heat and pressure. In order to do the actual weighing, an especially delicate balance scales is necessary. A small float is used which is lifted in propor- tion to the density of the gas. An accur- acy within one-hundredth of a milli- gram is possible with these scales, and results may be read directly from them. No long computations are involved. The purity of a substance may be ascertained by means of Dr. Cady ' s in- vention. Repeated observations are made, and if the gas is pure, its weight will not fluctuate appreciably while impure gas may vary greatly in weight. As I write this, I wonder just what ' those who know will say about my explanation But anyhow, as far as I know, no chemistry professor knows me except Dr. Cady. and he knows what to expect. Personally. Dr. Cady is a man one would call a regular fellow. Among men of science, he is a regular scien- tist. He loves a good story and a joke. He works harder than any student or young prof on the Hill. The N. R. A. would find him difficult to manage, for he has an unbreakable habit of work- ing overtime. In his leisure time (when he has any I. he likes to listen to music or read. He has an unusual collection of phono- graph records from abroad, and he likes to read books of travel. He belongs to the American Chemical Society, the Kansas Academy of Science, Sigma Xi, and Alpha Chi Sigma. J_here ' s an added flavor to the gift that you take home from our college shop.

Another interesting item of formal dress, is that the breast pocket hand- kerchief is of plain white linen, pre- ferably with a hand rolled hem. To complete the costume the appearance of a dark red carnation in the button-hole has served to replace a buttoniere of gardenias. Turning from the more formal oc- casions it is apparent that the trend toward a more dressy appearance for the informal occasions is being evi- denced. This is no doubt a reaction from the attitude of go-with-outism and studied carelessness so evident in the past few years. Perhaps it is difficult for this generation to recall the days when a man of K. U. or elsewhere would no more think of appearing on the street without every single article necessary to correct dress, than he would of becoming a nudist. Anyway it ' s fairly safe to say that whether it ' s his 1st or 10th year on the campus, Joe College is going to become Mis- ter College and take his place Sis a man of correct dress and fashion set- ting. Even the sport suits are taking on a more dressy appearance, in that they are being made now in the harder fin- ished fabrics. Royer Barclay out at the D. U. house has a new powder blue, double-breasted model, made up in a self figured worsted. Tom Trotter of Delta Chi sports a similar fabric in a grey of the newer shade that is not at all unbecoming. Both suits carry that comfortable and pleasant appearing bi- swing back, as well as patch pockets. Sport suits of the rougher fabrics still hold their share of their recent- ly acquired popularity. Francis Kap- pleman, of the basketball squad, and a Sig Ep, appearing in a natty grey center- vent bi-swing, single-breasted model of this type with a pleasing black over- plaid. Charles Bauer of the student council, and a lawyer, recently acquired a brown checked single-breasted tweed number, with the true Gable back, to- gether with the necessary trimmings, such as a rough figured shirt, knit tie, and plaid socks, to make a mighty pleas- ant appearing sports costume. Swede Everly of the Sigma Nus has one of this type in a Harris tweed cloth, which is plenty dressy as well as sporty. And now, Gentlemen, we are beg- ging your permission to allow us to make our nomination for the title of the best dressed man on the campus. For this time, we should like to suggest the name of Ned Brandon, Phi Belt, who really gives the appearance of knowing his clothes and wearing them well. For the next issue we shall try to pick an- other of the many well-dressed men here at Kansas and we hope you ' ll agree. Gentlemen : Much bunk has been la- boriously concocted and solemnly handed out on the subject of what con- stitutes good taste in clothes. Sufficient to say, you needn ' t own a yacht or a couple of oil wells, to be well-dressed, but a bit of care instead of careless- ness in dress matters will at least sug- gest that you might. The well-dressed man at Kansas or anywhere else is the one who is going to pay attention more closely to the details of his clothing ap- pearance. Can you stand the Mirror Test?

A record of events and personalities, and a review of campus trends and opinions. FRED M. HARRIS. JR. Editor-in-Chief PAUL L. WILBERT Business Manager With finals over and a new semester started on its way, the Jayhawker makes its third appearance on the campus this year. The Mid-winter number of the Jay- hatcher contains many interesting ar- ticles for the student body. Our open- ing article runs along the same lines as have been followed this year. Carolyn Harper, managing editor of the Daily Hanson, has written a summary of the interesting events of the school year thus far. The article is titled, Burning the Candle at Both Ends. Next comes an article on the life of Dr. Forrest C. Allen. It has been the policy of the Jayhawker to select one outstanding member of the faculty each issue, and in an article list some of his accomplishments. Dr. Allen was chosen for this issue because his field, basket- ball, is first in the interest of the stu- dents at this time. The article is written by Ted O ' Leary, ' 32. Ted was one of Dr. Allen ' s most outstanding pupils, having won All-Big Six and All-Ameri- can forward berths in 1932. O ' Leary knows Dr. Allen as almost no other person knows him. He w orked for him for three years on the K. U. team. Ted has coached basketball for two years at George Washington University and knows the problems with which a coach is presented. He is now employed on the city desk of The Kansas Cil Star and is quite an able writer. The sports department also carries an article on the football lettermen of this year. Bob Braden. whose sports stories are familiar to all Jayhawker readers, wrote this article. Clyde Reed. Jr., a sports writer of no mean ability, has written a story on the basketball season thus far. Melvin Harlin. who has done fine work for the Jayhawker in the past, has made his contribution this time in an article on Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Cunning- ham. The story is titled. Mrs. Cun- ningham Takes Charge. The humor section this time should prove quite interesting to readers. Ping Senate, one of the campus favorite hu- morists during the past few years, comes to the front with a very amusing article on that time honored subject, bundling. Ping calls his story Under Cover. Brad Thompson, an employee of the Capper Engraving Co. and editor of the kan . magazine-annual of Washburn College last year, has done some fine air-brush drawings to illustrate Ping ' s story. Bob Lamar. who has had to hold down the job as writer of the funny stories almost entirely this year, has written a story titled, The Herd Must Be Served. He takes a poke at the stu- dents on the Hill that fail to catch the subtle poinl which he offers in most of his work. It was originally decided to call this issue the Junior Prom number, but we were mixed up in our dates and as a result the Sophomore Hop receives a big play from our society desk. Charles Zeskey, Jr., who has been handling the big parties for the Jayhawker for the past few years, offers an interesting ac- count of the sophomores ' party. The Social Wheel carries on and brings the campus ' social season up to date. Improvements have been made in our men ' s clothes columns for this issue. The Esquire magazine has sent us a series of mats illustrating the latest trends in men ' s fashions, and these are being used to brighten the appearance of this page. In addition to these illus- trations, our clothes editor has started a correspondence with Ring Lardner. Jr., author and Princeton undergrad- uate. Mr. Lardner. whose writings on college life have appeared in Esquire and I anil v Fair, is quite an authority on college clothes and is going to keep you in touch with what is being worn by the students at Princeton. As you know, the undergraduates at Princeton are known as the best dressed men in the country. Organization space in this issue is devoted to the professional fraternities. Some time ago. in this column, we put in a plea to the student body for more writers. Our pages are being filled by the same scribes each issue, and we fear our articles becoming too similar from issue to issue. A university that boasts over four thousand students sure- ly has more than fifteen or twenty qualified writers. A student that can write is more than welcome in the Ja - hawker office. Freshmen should especially take note of this, for in your junior year it will be necessary to select an editor for the Jayhawker. If you are interested in magazine publishing, the wise thing for you to do is to start gathering your ex- perience early. Rhadamanthi. poetry organization, has willingly contributed poetry to fill our poetry page, but the page isn ' t given to that organization exclusively. The English department has led us to believe that there are many students in school who are particularly adept at writing poetry.

I. J. (last issue of the Jayhawker I would never have occurred. But Ole Man World came near losing his equilibrium anyway, for many un- dergraduates remembered only too late that they had been enrolled in school since September, and that professors required black and white proof of the knowledge gained from their lectures during the semester. But everyone lived through finals; they always do. More than one thousand people saw De Lawd walk the earth in the in- tensely appealing fable-play, The Green Pastures. as presented by Rich- ard B. Harrison, and a cast of more than a hundred negro actors. By the use of a tread mill, De Lawd was able to walk the earth to see what his chillun. whom he had created and who were acting so badly, were going to do next. The Kansas basketball squad started on the road to its fifth consecutive Big Six Conference Championship, by winning their opening game against the Kansas Aggies. 40-14. Attendance at basketball games should increase, if having the Hill ' s Most Fascinating He. Dick Wells, playing on the team, is any drawing card. When the Great Blower ' s humor magazine announced Joan Jankowsky as the Most Alluring She. the campus rounders were able to say perfectly truthfully, We knew she ' d get it all the time. despite the fact the Do - Away - With - Paddling Beta ' s cast a 100 per cent vote in favor of said editor. Before the Christmas holidays, an anonymous Kansas Graduate donated $60.000 for the erection and equipment of a children ' s hospital for the Univer- sity ' s School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kansas. The University is becoming a con- vention city. Over 100 delegates at- tended the Cosmopolitan Club conclave held on ML Oread, December 24. Myron Messenhemier, a University graduate, is national president of the organization. And from Boston, comes the word that Boss Metzler. and President Mykland were successful in their efforts to bring the N. S. F. A. 1935 convention to the campus, or rather to Kansas City. Anyway, ex- plains Mykland who has been appoint- ed chairman of the convention com- mittee, the delegates will come to Law- rence at least one day. It will be the first time that an N. S. F. A. conven- tion has ever been held in the Middle West. The University is going to have a Rhodes scholar the first time in several years . . . Ray Miller. Miller was one of the winners last year of the William Herbert Carruth Memorial Poetry- Prizes. He will study at Oxford next year. To get this world out of the chaotic condition in which it is now existing, different theories have arisen. Students have had opportunities to hear these theories discussed recently. Fred Hen- derson, noted British economist and former alderman, who spoke on the campus January 7, told a large au- dience. As Long as Capitalism goes on, it can only end in increasing in- security and unemployment. The League of Industrial Democracy is sponsoring a series of six lectures by THE CUNNINGHAMS BID THE JAYHAWK FAREWELL prominent men who will discuss the present economic condition. The Sigma Chis and Chi Omegas de- cided that their taxes were too high, so have gone to court in an effort to get a revaluation on their property. It seems impossible that Sigma Chi could possibly tkink that anyone had evalu- ated their house too highly, the blue prints of which were their rush week talk for years. In what has been called the most sensational comeback in the history of the Big Six Conference. Oklahoma de- feated the Jayhawkers 36-25. after tak- ing a trouncing of 50 to 23 the night before. With Gray having a sinus infec- tion, Bud ' Shaffer recovering from a bad attack of flu. Dick Wells suffering from an injured fooL and Al elhau- sen. 6 ft. 7 in. understudy of Wells for pivot position with measles, the outlook for a championship is not very bright at the present time. The basketball squad played two pre- season clinic games with the Aggies, one at Lawrence, one at Manhattan. The baskets were raised twelve feel from the floor, goals counted three points instead of two. and different rules concerning the playing of the ball were used. A poll was taken to find the reaction of the audience to the changes, all of which were approved except the twelve-foot goals. During Christmas, the team won from the Emporia Teacher ' s College team. As W. A. Dill, director of the Univer- sity News Bureau, characterized it: As the people were leaving the audi- torium. I stood at the doorway and asked them how they liked the game. Both of them said they enjoyed it very much. In the first two of our cage games to be played against the Tigers, the Jay- hawkers came out on the heavy end of the score: 39 to 29, in the first game, and 36 to 27 in the second game. Be- tween the halves of the first Tiger game, the German band made its formal debut to student audiences and was well received. It will appear at the Intra- mural Carnival. Missouri will have a real football team next fall, if enthusiasm goes with the making of a team. About 350 stu- 108 THE JAYHAWKER dents answered Don Faurot, new Tiger coach, in his first call for gridiron ma- terial. Brewer ' s resignation as director of athletics at Missouri makes Dr. Allen the oldest athletic director in the Big Six Conference, in time of service. Lynn Waldorf ' s resignation as coach of the Kansas Aggies to accept a position at Northwestern, means there will be two new football coaches in the Big Six next fall. Kansas may be superior to her Manhattan friends in basketball, but the Aggies hold the ' upper arm in wrestling. Determining to revenge mat defeats suffered at the hand of the Aggies last year, the Kansas wrestlers had to bow before them again this fall. Tiny Moore was the big power on the Jayhawker team. Glenn Cunningham, who has carried the name of Kansas in track all over the United States, and in the Orient, won his first winter ' s competition from his old rival, Gene Venzke, at the Knights of Columbus games in Brook- lyn. Glenn returned to -Lawrence only to announce that he had decided to at- tend school at Iowa during the spring semester. DUKE MAKES A TRICK SHOT Frank Lloyd Wright, founder of the Taliesin plan, won the heart of most students by calling the present educa- tional system canned education. Mr. Wright said that what this world needs is culture, not education. He believes the present educational system is the tool of Capitalism, which does not re- quire of men individuality but sub- serviency. The University Daily Kansan, offi- cial student paper of the University (so the masthead says), is beginning to wake up. The great enlightenment of the undergraduates began with the ex- pose of the ridiculous W. S. G. A. elec- tion rules governing combines. Then to add to the interest of the sheet, Joe Holloway turned Bill Kent, starting the column, on the Shin. Although some students have claimed the Kansan has gone Hearst, that students are reading the paper more is undeniable. On top of this the Kansan announces it will be a morning paper. Although the cam- paign against pink tea government is by no means concluded, even if the W. S. G. A. does not inaugurate a new elec- tion system, the campaign, at least, will make sororities a bit more clever in combining when spring elections come. The intramural department cooper- ating with the Men ' s Student Council, has announced the plans for an intra- mural carnival to be held March 8, un- der the direction of Delmar Curry. At that time, finals in intramural boxing, wrestling, and basketball will be held. A dance will bf given following the carnival. Hold That Line, the script of which was written by Barbara Bram- well, who also composed four of the MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE VISIT THE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 169 six songs used in the production, has been chosen as the annual W. S. G. A. musical comedy. V irgil Bergman has been named director, and Joe Dunkel will have charge of the dances. The next Kansas Player ' s production which will be presented February 11, 12, 13, and 14, will be a play by Allen Crafton called Yankee Crusades, a picture of life and the times of the 50V in Kansas territory. Bernard Poco Frazier, former Kansas track star, and his wife, have been engaged to make diaramas of pre- historic life in Kansas, made possible through an anonymous gift of $1.500 to the University. The diaramas will be placed in Dyche Museum. KFKU celebrated its tenth anniver- sary on the air with a two-hour pro- gram, in which about two hundred per- sons took part. The script for the evening was written by Allen Crafton. and took the radio listener on a tour of the campus. Several of the teachers who have been at the University for many years, talked. The annual Mid-Winter concert of the Symphony Orchestra, under the di- rection of Karl Kursteiner, was pre- sented January 17. The orchestra played the difficult Scheherazada suite of Rimski-Korsakov, the score of which has been in the music library for many years, but because of its intricacies has never been performed. Tau Sigma as- sisted with the program, presenting a series of dances, interpretating Saint- THE AUDITORIUM AT NIGHT Saens, Carnival of Animals. The humorous number. The Fossils. by Mildred Anderson. Virginia Banfield. and Mary Ellen Miller, was particularly well received and was repeated. A survey of how much the Memorial Union building is really used has been carried on under the direction of William Cochrane. manager. The en- largement of fountain facilities was desired by a great many students who were interviewed. If the doubt of such a need ever arises, look in the fountain at 10:30 any morning and try to find a booth that isn ' t taken. In connection with the Union. Gordan Weyemuller recently won the billiard contest con- ducted bv the Union. IEETS WITH ED ELBEL Kansas City-going students will probably forsake the old gasoline en- gine that runs between Topeka and Kansas City, when the new Union Pa- cific streamline train starts running on a regular schedule. Why a streamline train should be put on the Salina to Kansas City route is still a bit of a mystery to a good many people not that it won ' t be nice. Every undergraduate at the Lniver- sity received a ballot the first part of January in a peace poll which is being conducted by the Literary Digest and the Association of College Editors. Bal- lots were sent out to over 300,000 col- lege students. As if the University didn ' t have enough queens already, the engineers come along and nominate fifteen more, one of which will preside over the an- nual Hobnail Hop. And speaking of engineers, if you want to read a joke five years before the Sour Owl has it. get hold of a Kansas Engineer. In the last issue those jokes that were ab- solutely censored were printed and put on a billboard in Marvin Hall for the engineers to read anyway. When Ray Reed and Jack Miller tied in a recent election for secretary for the School of Business, it was decided to toss a coin to see who the winner was. Jack called his girl, and asked her whether he should choose heads or tails. She designated a choice; Ray Reed is secretary of the Business School. (Continued on page 227 I 170 THE .IAY1IAWKER Dr. Forrest C Allen basketball wizard BY THEODORE M. O ' LEARY Dr. Allen has successfully guided his teams to twenty- one championships in twenty- five years of coaching A 5 THE days grow shorter around Lawrence about the time the first snow falls, there usually comes a pre- diction from Dr. Forrest C. Allen, di- rector of athletics and basketball coach here at the University of Kansas. The prediction is that Kansas will not win another conference basketball cham- pionship this year. For 15 years Dr. Allen has been making some such prediction and in 10 of these years the coming of the first robin and longer twilight has found Dr. Allen and his team on top of the conference standings. The force of sheer figures is really enough to tell the story of Dr. Allen ' s coaching success. In 25 years of basket- ball coaching at Kansas and at War- rensburg Teachers College he has won 21 championships! Such a record can- not be matched, even approached, by any other coach in the country. Strangely enough, and yet not strangely if you remember how many accomplished people have faced parent- al opposition, this man who has made for himself such a noteworthy life out of athletics is the son of a father who used to criticize his sons for playing games. DR. ALLEN, HEAD COACH OF BASKETBALL AND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS AT K. U. ' When Dr. Allen and his five brothers were young men playing football, basketball, and baseball around Inde- pendence, Missouri, their father W. T. Allen, used to say to them: You ' re wasting your time. You ' re just fooling your time away playing ball and that kind of stuff. You ' ll never amount to anything that way. F ' orrest C. Allen was the fourth of six brothers. He was born at James- port, Missouri, November 18, 1P 85. When he was two years old the family moved to Independence where Forrest was reared. His environment was any- thing but gentle. There were fights on the baseball diamond and blows were returned on the football field. But they put steel in one ' s muscles and courage in one ' s heart, and today when Dr. Allen recalls those rough and ready days his eyes light up. He has always liked a good fight, and for that reason he has always picked for his teams fighting basketball players over less aggressive ones. After a stock taking in 1903 Dr. Al- len decided to join the Kansas City Athletic Club to improve even more his physical condition. He immediately be- came a member of the club ' s basketball team, ajid was made manager of it in 1904, and then in 1905 he staged one of the greatest basketball series in the history of the game. The Buffalo Germans, by virtue of having won the Pan-American cham- pionship in Buffalo in 1903 and later the tournament at the St. Louis World ' s Fair in 1904 were recognized as world ' s champions. Within himself Dr. Allen knew that his K.C.A.C. team could beat the Buf- falo team, just as he usually knows nowadays that his Kansas teams are sec- ond to none. He approached the club officials about staging a championship series in Kansas City- The officials were skeptical, saying that such a series would be a financial flop. Allen agreed rXIVERRITY OF KANSAS 171 DR. ALLEN WHEN HE PLAYED WITH K. C. A. C. to underwrite the series himself and in March, 1905, the K.C.A.C. team de- feated the Germans 2 games out of 3 that were played on the court in Con- vention Hall. Allen made 17 free throws in the deciding game. The series was a financial success and, partly because of the enthusiasm engendered by the victory of the local team, the member- ship of the K.C.A.C. leaped from 400 to over 1.000 in little more than a year. From then on Dr. Allen ' s life was committed to athletics and especially to basketball. Entering the University of Kansas in 1905 he played on the baseball and basketball teams, captain- ing the latter in 1907 and coaching the Baker University team at the same time. In 1908 and 1909 he coached the University of Kansas and the Haskell Institute basketball teams. His Kansas team won the Missouri Valley cham- pionship both years. After a period at Warrensburg col- lege from 1912 to 1919 in which he en- joyed great success as coach and di- rector of athletics. Dr. Allen was given a chance to return to Kansas as director of athletics. He took over his duties in the fall of 1919 inaugurating one of the most interesting periods in the history of Kansas athletics. It is no secret that Dr. Allen ' s career at Kansas has not been all smooth sail- ing. It has been a period of steady progress, paradoxically marked by- violent eruptions and outbursts. Foot- ball coaches have come and gone, some of them making ugly charges as they vent. There have been many attempts to smear the Doctor. He has made enemies, but who in a public place has not? A great part of the criticism of Dr. Allen has centered around the charge that he has boosted his own sport bas- ketball at the expense of football. There seems to be little ground for such charges. As business manager of the athletic association. Dr. Allen is re- sponsible for the financial side of Kan- sas athletics. He would be ridiculous to strive for anything but the best possible football team, since gate receipts in- crease in proportion to the success of the team. In addition Dr. Allen loves to be on the winning side as much as any man who ever lived. Every defeat hurts him as much as it does the foot- ball coaches and their players. And no matter how successful the Kansas foot- ball teams are. their success can never detract from Dr. Allen ' s reputation as one of the truly great coaches of bas- ketball in America. A certain natural enthusiasm on Dr. Allen ' s part has sometimes led indi- viduals to believe that the Doctor could and would do for them things that he has not been able to do. Perhaps this has been one source of the enmity some people feel toward him. He is not a coach universally regarded with affec- tion by his former players. It is difficult to say why this is. Certainly no coach could show more loyalty to his men when they are playing under him than Dr. Allen. But such affection is lack- ing in many cases and to the extent of its absence Dr. Allen may have been -aid to have failed, but perhaps it is a limited sort of failure. Certainly he has not failed in his basketball coaching and in his direc- tion of the steady progress of Kansas athletic affairs. The Memorial Stadium and the Kansas Relays both owe much to Allen ' s driving power. The story of the flame that touched off the campaign for the stadium has been told many times but is worth repeating. In 1920 Dr. Allen coached ( Continued on page 226 1 PHOG ALLEN WITH K. U.

Born in Osage City, Kansas, in 1888, Mr. O ' Neill graduated from Baker University in 1909 and from the Harvard Law School in 1913, returning to Osage City to take up his practice. He served as county attorney of Osage County from 1914 to 1917, moving then to Topeka, where he was elected city attorney in 1921 and held that office until 1927. Mr. O ' Neill served in the World War as captain of infantry and was cited for gallantry in action. He has been prominent in American Legion work since the War, and as a climax to his career as de- partmental commander for Kansas and national vice-commander he was elected national commander of the Le- gion in 1931. Mr. O ' Neill was chair- man of the national citizens military training camps committee in 1929 and u member of the national defense com- mittee in 1930. Since 1924 he has been associated with the law firm of O ' Neill and Hamilton in Topeka. W IX FERGUSON, one of the state ' s outstanding bankers, was appointed to the State Board of Re- gents by Governor Landon in 1933. Mr. Ferguson, was born in Colby in 1889 and received his grade and high school education there. He attended Washburn College, graduating in 1910 with an A. B. degree. Mr. Ferguson has been prominent in Kansas bank- ing circles since his election to the presidency of the Thomas County Na- tional Bank of Colby in 1916, and was elected vice-president of the Kansas American Bankers Association in 1934. Long a strong supporter of Governor Landon, Mr. Ferguson was originator of the Landon for President move- ment in 19. ' U. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 173 BY JOHN CHANDLER Max Factor make-up expert One of the nation ' s outstand- ing make-up artists selects the sophomore beauties JUDGING a beauty contest is a hard assignment at best, and attempting to judge one from photographs is even more difficult No photograph por- tray personality, which is such a sub- tle, but essential factor in real beauty. No selection of beauty queens from a mechanical representation alone may be regarded as absolutely correct and final. It was with such comments as these that Max Factor. Hollywood ' s master of make-up, returned his selections for sophomore beauty queens. No Jay- hawker beauty judge of recent years has been quite so well qualified for the position as Mr. Factor. Beauty has been his profession since the movies were in their infancy. Every day he is in contact with the world ' s most perfect beauties. It is his business to detect and correct their flaws. No one could make a more fair and discriminating analysis of beauty portrayed in a photograph, and yet make allowance for the intangible ele- ments which no such artificial medium could show. i MAX FACTOR, JUDGE OF THE SOPHOMORE BEAUTIES The advent of the moving picture as a form of the drama brought about radical changes in the art of make-up. The change in make-up technique was also hastened by the invention of the incandescent light in 1880. The movie closeup and the stronger lights made an improvement in actor ' s make-up im- perative. Only a few simple make-up effects were known in pre-movie times, and for the ill-lighted stages they sufficed. As long as the motion picture was merely a novelty, make-up was of little im- portance. The old practice of actors on the legitimate stage of covering the face with cold cream and then laying on a coat of pigment was satisfactory enough. The merciless eye of the mo- tion picture camera, however, revealed a need for something more artistic than had previously been achieved. The old system had certain defects which were not apparent under stage lights. The movement of facial muscles was con- siderably hampered by the heavy coat- ing of grease and paint, and the ef- fects which could be produced were limited. The need for a new make-up technique was generally recognized. It was at this point that Max Factor laid the foundations of his present con- nection with the motion picture indus- try. He quickly realized that the motion picture camera is a recording instru- ment having no artistic values. The closeup which was made possible by the camera made the grease paint coat show up like a contorted mask. The detail which the film recorded made obvious the glaring imperfections of the traditional use of make-up. Of necessity then, as the camera makes no allowances, make-up must approach perfection. Factor then made a radical change from the old system of a cold cream base covered with pigment, to a semi- liquid make-up.

As a matter of fact, as this is being written, final quizzes are in the offing, but it seemed much nicer to start out in a more optimistic tone than could be ob- tained if I mentioned the beating the rest of the slip-stick gang and I from Marvin are going to take during the next few days, when cosines, coef- ficients, and hyperbolic paraboloids are thrown at us from right to left. All that, however, has little or ' nothing to do with the Social Wheel which is, after all, what this is supposed to be. So let ' s take a peek in the past and see what ' s been going on in connection with campus society. Phi Delta Theta, that amusing group of youngsters, managed to persuade Mile. Husband that they needed a bit of social relaxation, and the result was a party the night of November 23 (that was last year such old stuff). Unfor- tunately I was forced to stay away be- cause I wasn ' t invited, but it must have been a surprisingly good party anywa ' y, if you don ' t believe what you hear. The Phi Psis polished up the old buffet and served supper from it the following Sunday evening. All of which goes to prove what I said a couple of months LOUIS KUHN AND HIS ORCHESTRA ago: there are more ways to have parties than by hiring a band, a glorified barn, and a bunch of second-hand crepe-paper decorations, putting a formal on the invitation, and wasting an evening try- ing to enjoy it. Buffet suppers, steak frys, and the like aren ' t to be sneezed at. That ' s probably enough philosophy for this paragraph. The first class party of the year was under the supervision of -the fresh- men, Friday, December 7. Johnny John- son and his gang were imported for the occasion and did a fine job of entertaining. One of the finest, may I say? The class parties last year weren ' t too well attended to prevent one danc- ing with one ' s date occasionally. This year is off to a good start. Metzler may THE SK;MA KAPPAS ENTERTAIN WITH THEIR WINTER PARTY not be so happy about it, but those of us on crutches have a better time. The next day (Saturday, if you for- get) was pediculous with house parties. The Thetas went high hat, and despite a rather chilly evening, gave what gives promise of being the best sorority drag of the season. For some reason, the Indiana street girlies didn ' t invite the entire male population of the Universi- ty, and there was room enough to en- joy the winter decorations. Theta Tau, Phi Chi, Triangle, and Cosmopolitan Club tangled the same night. Some of the Kite girls couldn ' t decide which party to attend. The Gamma Phis had the same trouble, because their house was torn up and redecorated for the occasion. It was on the way from the Union building to the Cosmopolitan club house that the social editor fell down and broke his other wooden leg and was not in attendance at the re- maining houses. Reports were all good, however. ' The following week, the Eldridge Hotel was turned over to the Alpha Chis who continue to keep their newly refurnished and redecorated house for their own private use. Not a bad idea although some of us would like to see it some day. The Pi Phis had to rent the local auditorium, Ecke ' s Hall, for their fall whirl the same evening. Some of the girls sneaked away when it came time to decor ate, but the hall looked better than usual. The A.T.O. lodge and the Kappa Eta Kappas entertained in their respective houses. The week-end was more than normally popular, for George Morris. (Continued on page 223) UNIVERSITY OK KANSAS BY CHARLES ZESKEY, Jr. The sophomore hop The sophomore class party turned out to be one of the best class dances in history WHO was it who said: Varsities come and go, but class parties go on forever ' ' ? No matter. The source is not important; neither is the quota- tion. It did serve as a good opening paragraph for this article, though, didn ' t it? And any good editor knows that an article like this needs a good opening paragraph, for all dances are pretty much alike, even though a class party is a little more highly touted. In the case of the Sophomore Hop however, the additional publicity was not amiss. Jack Rice and Bill Hampton, the Soph dance managers, put forth a real effort to throw a party which would be a memorable one, and that they succeeded in doing so is remem- bered as one of the best parties of the year by all who attended. The Hop is probably awaited with less anticipation by the student body than any other class party of the year. The Frosh Frolic and the Prom com- ing before and after it have more or less dimmed it in the past. Then too. the Sophs always have chosen to give their party at a time when many stu- dents, realizing the imminency of finals have settled down to study. Despite all that, however, the Class of ' 37 succeeded in planning and executing an exceptionally fine dance. Possibly it was the music of Ralph Bennett and his seven aces, all eleven of ' em which contributed so much to its success. It may have been the chilly and drizzly evening which kept away a great many unnecessary stags. What- ever it was, the dance as a whole was an undoubted success. Those who did stay away for one reason or another, however, missed one of the year ' s most successful social af- fairs of the season, as they probably learned from the comment of those who attended. And the party did much to convince those who attend only oc- casionally that class parties really have something to offer. The Hop has definitely made a reputation for itself as a party, and for the sophomores as real entertainers. Ralph Bennett and the boys fully lived up to the reputation which pre- ceeded them, and furnished the dancers with music, which for quality and di- versity has seldom been equaled on the Hill. The fact that there were few- enough stags for everyone to have room enough to dance, and time enough with his date to make him feel that he got his money ' s worth contributed in great measure to the success of the pa rty. The high spot of the evening came after Mr. Bennett had received sev- eral requests for a fast piece. The Bugle Call Rag was his answer, and what an answer it was! Many of the fainthearted made a running dive for the sidelines when the first chord was sounded. The stag line disintegrated. After the first chorus was half over, only about a third of those who started were still on their feet their feet or someone else ' s. o permanent injuries were reported, although one couple successfully slid the length of the band- stand after they had gotten themselves seated comfortably upon the floor. Scarcely had the final burst ceased echoing from one rafter to the other than the imported musicians began a waltz which crowded the floor once more. Everyone agreed that the orches- tra was far above average, and the con- tinual intermixture of fast and slow- rhythms prevented the feeling of mono- tony which often spoils an otherwise pleasant evening. So two of the class parties have come and gone: the year is half over, and the juniors and seniors have had some pretty stiff marks set up for them to shoot at during the spring months. If the two remaining dances prove as popular and successful as those which have preceded them, this year social- ly, at least should go down as one to be remembered. The Junior Prom is scheduled for March 15. This is usually the big party of the year. The boys dust off their tuxes, and the price of admission is raised in order to assure the success of the party. According to the Dance Manager Metzler and the prom man- agers, a band for this gala affair has not as yet been selected. It will have to be an exceptional party however to come up to the precedent established by the Sophomore Hop and Freshman Frolic. RALPH BENNETT ENTERTAINS SOPH HOP CROWD ISO THE JAYHAWKER BY MELVIN HARLIN Mrs. Cunningham takes charge Mr. and Mrs. G. Cunningham return from the Orient after a four months honeymoon and barnstorming tour combined THE strong legs of Glenn Cunning- ham continue to bring him fresh laurels of victory. After completing a four months ' ' barnstorming t o u r through Japan, the Philippine Islands, and China, Cunningham, with a team of other American track stars, arrived home last December. It had been a strenuous four months of running. Cunningham often had to double up on events, many times running two races before compet- ing in his own distance. He was a tired athlete. On the night of February 2, how- ever, there was a roaring crowd at the Madison Square Garden in New York. It was the famous Wanamaker mile and Glenn Cunningham was meeting his old rivals, Venzke of Pennsylvania and Bonthron of Princeton. The crowd suddenly hushed as the runners were on their marks a pistol barked and the crowd was on its feet cheering the runners. The race was over Cunningham had won ! Kansans secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then proudly asserted, There really was never, never any -question about the outcome! Glenn Cunningham has probably done more to further varsity athletics at the University of Kansas than anv DISH WASHING TIME WITH THE CUNNINGHAMS other individual that can be named. Glenn runs because he loves to run. It is this love of his sport and his desire to win that has given him the name of America ' s ace miler. Irregardless of his love for the track, it cannot be said that Cunningham came to college be- cause he was an athlete. Glenn is a stu- dent, not a pupil. He received his de- gree here at the University last spring and when he couldn ' t find courses he wanted in the University graduate school he enrolled at the University of Iowa to further his education. He hasn ' t lost his love for the alma mater, however, even though he is attending classes at another university. On Feb- ruary 2, when he evened the score with his arch-rival Bill Bonthron of Prince- ton, Glenn was wearing his Kansas jersey. Although he is now competing in meets unattached, he still wears his University ' s colors to the starting block. The strong physique of Cunningham has not come to him without effort. Long hours of painstaking training every day has made it possible for him to become the superb athlete that he is. Mrs. Cunningham, ne ' e Margaret Speir ' 34, is her husband ' s trainer. Tak- ing her work seriously, she sees to it that his meals are properly balanced, and that his training is not neglected. In the opinion of Mrs. Cunningham nothing is better for the development of brawny muscles than the fine art of wiping dishes. Glenn, she says, is adept at it too. Up and down goes the rope, one, two, three, four, Margaret counting, Glenn skipping aren ' t we having fun! Skipping rope recalls memories of childhood to most of us, but to Cun- ningham it is the best possible way in which to train and keep in condition. Just how important is proper train- ing to the success of an athlete? To Cunningham it is the big deciding fac- tor for the success of any athlete. There are hundreds of naturally unusual run- ners today but the reason that there are but a few topnotchers is primarily because they fail to train correctly- A trainer can make or break a run- ner, says Glenn, I ' ve been very for- tunate in having excellent trainers and I especially like my last one, in fact. I think I will give her a rather perman- ent job. Glenn looked at Margaret, Margaret looked at Glenn I grabbed mv hat. MRS. CUNNINGHAM DIRECTS GLENN ' S TRAINING PROGRAM GLENN AND MARGARET DISPLAY THE SPOILS OF THEIR HONEYMOON tTNIX ' ERSTTY OF KANSAS 181 BY JOHN CHANDLER Sophomoritis A frankly written article on the status of the Sophomores at K. U. AFTER having been exposed to the atmosphere of Mount Oread for a year and a half (at least), it is time for the sophomores to pause a moment and take inventory. What have three se- mesters of university life done to or for them? Has the investment of a college ARNOLD GILBERT resident career brought an adequate return? Needless to say, it is impossible to give one answer to all these questions for all members of the class, nor is it pos- sible to generalize the University ex- perience of all sophomores. Many of the students who but a short year ago put away forever their frosh caps have made a good start on a profitable academic career. Some have learned by now to inhale, and still others have acquired a knack for im- bibing a considerable quantity of alco- hol, and perhaps a few that rarer art of keeping it down. Many who a year ago were wearing enameled badges which meant nothing to them, have been initiated into the mysteries of their various orders. A few boys who entered the University wearing their high school colors are already on the road to K. U. ' s athletic hall of fame. A few of the class will make Phi Beta Kappa, a few will make Kappa Beta Phi, but the majority will strike a me- dium somewhere in between. But for better or for worse every sophomore has been changed in some way by his collegiate environment. In all probability most of the class has filled the majority of the re- quired groups, and in the process has been exposed to a good deal of knowl- edge for which they have little liking or use. And coincidental to this process they ' ve learned how often they can cut class and still make their grades. Girls have learned how to wear their clothes and make-up properly, and how to be gracious to a date whom they don ' l like. Boys by now have learned to shake hands as though they meant it. on what occasions to send their girl friends flowers, and how to tie a tuxedo lie. As a class the sophs show a tendency to go to extremes after the restraints of their freshman year. It is among the members of this class that the majority of the Joe Colleges ' ' and Kitty Campuses are found. They are the most concerned of any of the upper classes about keeping the freshmen in their places. Their class can boast of having as members both the most sophisticated and the least restrained individuals in the student body. Their freshman troubles are over, and the end of the trail is not near enough to sober them. A good portion of the class of both sexes has been exposed to school politics. Some of the men in their weaker moments as freshmen made active affiliation with one political party or the other. The Oread-Kay- hawks make their war cry beat the Pachacamac Machine. while the ma- chine concerns itself with keeping down the Bolsheviki element. And while such things are frowned on by the dean of women, the Kansan electrified the cam- pus last month by boldly baring the JACK RICE Da BILL HAMPTON fact that women ' s government is dom inated by sorority combines. Last spring in an election which contrary to press reports, was neither heated nor close. Pachacamac elected the following officers: president. Ar- nold Gilbert: treasurer. J. Hubert An- derson : and dance managers. Bill Hampton and Jack Rice. Those nasty sorority combines seemed to function well enough to insure Barbara Goll. vice-president, and Betty Tholen. secre- tary, seats on the W.S.G.A. and free tickets to the varsities.

YOU and yours and Johnny with the big ears on the front row, grab yourself a comfortable place over some- one ' s shoulder and forget all about Liberty ' s reading time when you devour the substance of this quick, but rather risque ' delicate subject of bundling. There have been arbitrators, oblivia- tors, agitators, and prognosticators on this ancient but timely topic of bund- ling but of no avail. Bundling still raises its ugly, but well formed, head in so many forms it ' s pretty hard to pigeon hole. A Bit of History The question is as the flabbergasted juror would say as he stretched his neck for the brass gaboon how many of youse of this hyar airflow-corktip age know a gosh danged about the argu- ment nohow? In the days when Ma and Pa lived so far from the neighbors back in New England that Ma couldn ' t keep up with those fast-steppin ' pow- der-headed ladies of circle No. 1, and Pa was too dern busy with the chores to hitch up and drive to town, their daughter, Sally had to go in want for makin ' a few eyes at the town fellers and doin ' a little sparkin ' on the side. So, about the time when P. Revere saw the light in the tower, bundling became quite the thing. (Later the Bundling Act of 1804, Section 3, Para- graph 19, made the centerboard neces- sary.) Now, Pa and Ma sorta liked the idea c ' use Sally was gittin ' so she didn ' t hanker for dishwater hands and was all the time primping in the mirror, pinching her cheeks and rubbing rice flour on her nose. Right then and there, Pa argues a little bundling in respect- able sparkin ' hours wouldn ' t hurt no one and besides, it would be a heap saving on the firewood (at $1.85 a load). So, off the record, that ' s how bundling started. A Bit of Reality Well, beings to how things aren ' t as likely as they used to be thar shed be a change. The young genera- tion (what?) are making work out of their cuddling What we need is a new code for plain and fancy wooing. Instead of hour dances how nice it would be to read a mild announcement in the Kansan society column, reading: The Alpha Cry Gogettas will enter- tain the fillies from down on No-tax Mortgage Row with one hour of bund- ling from seven until eight. Or a telephone conversation would sound like this: Br-r-r-r-r ing zzz-r-r. Kappalpetheta. First hello ' Second hello ' Kappa Alpha Thetae who-o?

We must organize by the people, for ihe people and with the people and to the people, we must reflect the deep heavy sighs that yesterday ' s child could do to perfection.

Now they ' re screaming bloody murder About electoral corruption. It was on a peaceful campus That the Kansan scandal burst. It appears they ' ve formed a combine With William Randolph Hearst. And poor old Walter Winchell Is a sorry looking duck. Since K. U. has raised his ante With the Kansan raking muck. So they ' re filling up their columns With the things that coeds think.

They ' ve got something on the Juniors And they ' ll sure turn on the heat. For the Juniors have an honors group Of men they call the Owls. And the way the thing is managed Is from the Kansan bringing growls. And so at our activities Wrtt the Kansan take a crack. There will be a few exceptions Who could possibly fight back. So the dirt of ages past Will be pulled down from the shelf. The only thing that won ' t be probed Is the scandal sheet itself. We hope that they have lots of fun And create a big sensation.

TAKF g r OM v UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 185 BY CLYDE REED, Jr. Jayhawkers seek fifth court title Kansas basketeers begin conference play at Lawrence A FIFTH straight championship or a place among the conquered? That question, concerning the Kansas Jayhawkers and their Big Six basket- ball aspirations, probably will be fair- K ell settled by the time this epistle reaches the public gaze, so we will have to concern ourselves right now with a review of the early part of the season. The vagaries of schedule making, if they can be described thusly, have made the path to the conference title a doub- ly rocky one for the Jayhawkers. They are carded for sixteen contests, the first eight of which are on the home court and the remainder on foreign boards, a peculiar and tough arrangement to say the least. Mainly because of that reason, a difficult task confronted Dr. F. C. Allen, moulder of champions, when he sent his quintet out on the pennant trail in an effort to bring the fifth consecu- tive bunting to Mount Oread. Experts favored the Jayhawkers to repeat be- cause of the liberal supply of veteran material on hand, but Dr. Allen never minimized the job and realized that the Crimson and Blue cagers had a long. hard struggle ahead of them. In one in- stance thus far, that point has been proved to fans and players alike. A short pre-season schedule of three games preceded the Jayhawker debut into Big Six competition and the de- THE STUDENTS RESPOND TO THE CHEERLEADERS fending champions emerged victorious in two of those tilts. A pair of so-called clinic games with Kansas State were first on the program. These engagements gave the customers an opportunity to pass on the rules changes proposed by Dr. Al- len, including higher baskets and mov- ing the backboards in from the ends of the court. The Wildcats came out on top in the initial fracas, which was played here, winning 39 to 35 in an overtime period, after the count was knotted 33-all at the end of the regulation playing time. Both teams staged a typical early sea- son exhibition, and the Jayhawkers were somewhat weakened bv the ab- KANSAS P ' LAYS THE AGGIES UNDER THE RULES PROPOSED BY DR.

Now the curtain was ready to be drawn back on the Big Six. The Missouri Tigers, traditional rivals, were repulsed twice in as many nights by the Allen men. and it was two games in the victory column of the conference standing. In some respects, the two battles were similar. Kansas was forced to pull away late in the game on both occasions, com- ing from behind in the second fray to annex the victory. The scores were 39 to 29 and 36 to 27, respectively, with the all-around play of Dick Wells, rugged Jayhawk pivot man. being outstanding. On each night he led the Kansans to victory, picking up thirteen points in the series opener and counting eleven in the following encounter.

The year ' s team, led by Captain Noland, Big Six champion in the 145 pound class, is far superior and better rounded out than any Kansas wrest- ling team in the last ten years of Big Six competition. In the 118 pound class, Myrl Bratton has been showing himself to be a man small but mighty, having won both his matches in the meets by falls. Bratton is a first year man and has two years of competition in which to establish his claim to Big Six champion of the lightweights.

Each organization has its own distinct advantages, but one of these groups, the professional fraterni- ties, particularly well represented at K. U., in many ways is unique in the opportunities and service it gives to its members. The general function of these fra- ternities is to gather together all the outstanding students in each profes- sion, and give these men extra train- ing and help, to assist them to become better prepared for their life work. In many ways, the setup of the profes- sional fraternities is on the order of the Greek social organizations. However, the professional fraternities go farther in their training program in that more attention is given to acquainting their members with the changes, progress, and future of their profession. Notable professional men are often invited ' in as dinner guests, and tell of their experi- ences in the professional world and thus give the students an idea of what is before them. As many of the pro- fessors in the various university schools are active or honorary members of the fraternities, they therefore take an extra interest in the organizations and often come to speak, and to meet their stu- dents informally. Nearly every department in the Uni- versity has one or more professional fraternities. A large number of these maintain houses and carry out a social program; others, while having no house. are nevertheless quite active and carry out definite activities. The engineering school is represented here by three such organizations: Theta Tan, Kappa Eta Kappa, and Scarab. The medical school also has three: Phi Beta Pi, Phi Chi, and Nu Sigma Nu. The professional fraternities are distributed over the other departments and schools as fol- lows: Alpha Chi Sigma, chemistry; Alpha Kappa Psi, and Delia Sigma Pi, BY WILLIAM UTERMOHLEN commerce; Phi Alpha Delta and Phi Delta Phi, legal; Kappa Psi, pharmacy: Phi Mu Alpha, men ' s music; Sigma Gamma Epsilon, mining; and Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, jour- nalism. Membership in many of these organizations is restricted to those who are genuinely interested and outstand- ing in their work; so in this sense some of these fraternities may be considered honorary as well as professional. Perhaps the most unique and help- ful feature of the professional fraterni- ties is the value they have to their mem- bers when these students finish school, and even later. Each fraternity has an employment bureau at its national head- quarters, and through this msans, and through contacts with professional men made for him by the fraternity, the graduating student gets a much betler- than-average chance of getting his start in the professional world. Aside from these considerations, the fact alone that he has been a member of a professional fraternity, helps to make a job-hunter (Continued on page 223) rxiVERSITY OF KANSAS 189 1 X. if fit v v ?? v 1 ' a P .

Its aims are strictly professional; therefore the 44 chapters are discouraged from main- taining houses. The chief purpose of the fraternity is to raise the standards of American journalism by inculcating high ideals in student members and by preserving such ideals in the active newspaper work of the alumni mem- bers. It also endeavors to use its col- lective force as the largest journalism fraternity in the country to fight abuses of the press and to sponsor desirable methods and standards.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 199 BY BOB BRADEN Our football heroes Twenty-six varsity Sridsters win letters for the 1934 season A SHORT time ago, football was in the crisp fall air, bands were marching, pennants waving, crowds cheering. The pigskin was the undis- puted king. Now. it ' s all over, including the shouting: the fickle fan has turned his attentions towards the enclosed court with its enticing meshed hoop. When the moleskins were placed in storage to await a new season, there remained to be read the 1934 athletic roll of honor composed of current gridiron stars. At the close of the season. Coach Ad Lindsey recommended the awarding of the much prized varsity K to twenty- six men for their meritorious athletic services. Included in this list, subse- quently approved by the athletic board, were four men who were receiving their third letter award, ten who were two- year K men. and twelve who were receiving this award for the first time. In addition to the varsity letter awards, thirty-eight numeral awards were rec- ommended to members of the freshman football squad by their coach. Forrest Cox. Honorary Captain Orlando Ole Nesmith heads the group of four vet- AD LINDSEY erans to whom Coach Lindsey is forced to say goodbye. Nesmith who has served as halfback on the grid team for the last three years lias been termed a very- determined player, well known to his opponents for his aggressiveness. Per- haps his junior year could be con- sidered his brightest, since he was ham- pered by injuries most of the current season. It was during that season that he played so well as to gain notice from the Football Annual, a national publication, which praised him as one of the Midland ' s finest backs. Al- though injuries kept him on the bench for the major portion of the season just past, the vote of honorary captain given him by his teammates reflects their opinion of him as a leader. Another player whose position will be difficult to fill with equal facility is Milo ' Mike Clawson, hard-charging Kansas linesman. For three years, Mike has wrecked havoc with opposing line thrusts. He has been the bulwark of a strong Kansas line which has become noted beyond Big Six circles for its ex- cellent defense. For two years, Mike proved a worthy team mate for his fel- low tackle. Pete Mehringer, another Kansas lines man whose name is listed among the gridiron great. Clawson was acting captain in many of the games this year and his creditable perform- ances won praise from Alan Gould. Associated Press sports expert, who recommended him for All American selection. Elwyn Dees, the third retiring vet- eran with three years of athletic achievement to his credit, had never played a game of football before he entered Kansas University. To those of us who watched his consistent perform- ance throughout the season, this fact seems unbelievable. Dees. 210-pounder. was another cog in the strong defensive line of the past season. He learned to use his weight to tremendous advan- tage, so much so, that many an enemy halfback would have been willing to have subscribed to a fund to keep Dees from taking up the pigskin racket. But Dees uses his weight to advantage in other sports, since he is the present Big Six shot-put champion with a Big Six record in that event to his credit. OLE NESMITH Honorary Captain The fourth man to receive his third K award is Frank M. Watkins. sturdy- exponent of the pivot position. This blonde roving center has spelled doom to many supposedly well-planned enemy attacks. He was always quick to sense an opponent ' s plan of attack, and his alertness led to several Kansas recoveries of the opposition ' s fumbles. Included in the list of varsity men who were receiving their second K award were several outstanding players. Ed Phelps and Dick Sklar were two of the most valuable men Coach Getto had available to form his strong for- ward wall. Bert Hammers, Tommy Mc- Call. Dean Xesmith. and Rutherford Hayes were the other members of the line to receive their second K. In the backfield, the two year veterans in- cluded Fred Harris, Kenneth Kell. Pete Peterson, and Bob White, all of whom have been invaluable to the K. U. foot- ball machine this past season. First year varsity men included Bill Green. William Decker, George Hap- good. Elmer Humphrey, Ed Laub. (Continued on page 227 1 THE JAYHAWKER HARRIS PHELPS WELLS MOORE WATKINS SEIGLE DEES GIANNANGELO UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 201 GREEN KELL CLAWSON HAMMERS D.

This year ' s first contribution of the Kansas Players, Eve the Fifth, lived up to this request because of the play itself which dealt with a very simple background. In this, the second produc- tion of the year, they keep their record clean by presenting the mystery melo- drama. Double Door. The play was written by Elizabeth McFadden and was first presented in New York last year. It enjoyed a long run there and has since then been pre- sented in many other towns by differ- ent dramatic organizations. The author shows her versatility in this play by completely changing her line of thought from one of her plays written the last ten years. She wrote Why The Chimes Rang, a little Christmas play which has been presented in nearly every church in the country during the period between 1925 and 1935. In reviewing the acting of the play one part stands out above all the oth- ers. That is the part of Victoria Van Bret, played by Berneita Brooks. Her characterization of this stern old lady was so convincing that when she was defied by Rip Van Bret, played by Farrel Strawn, the audience actually- cheered. Other very well played parts are Marjorie Hornbaker as Anne Dar- row, Virgil Bergman as Dr. John Sully, and Rip Van Bret played by Farrel Strawn. The play is directed by Miss Mary Myers Elliott, instructor in the depart- ment of speech and dramatics. She is assisted in her work by Prof. Allen Crafton. Robert Calderwood, and Jes- sica Crafton. The members of the cast are all members of the student body. There seemed to be quite a bit of pro- test about there being a lack of student actors in the last production. To satisfy the students ' demands it was decided by the producing staff that the cast should be made up entirely of students. Since the play I have asked many people what they thought of it and on the whole the comments have been very favorable. Both those who were for and against the Kansas Players were of the general opinion that the play was very entertaining. (Continued on page 222) SCENES FROM DOUBLE DOOR 206 THE JAYHAWKER BY BOB LAMAR The herd must be served WE ARE living in the midst of an era of collapse. The conventions and customs of yesteryear are crash- ing about our heads, and we cower, not understanding our place in the scheme of this great tumult. Our very lives seem altered in their courses, and our stricken minds are baffled by the stupendous changes which we encounter at every turn. But the Hell with all that. All I want to do is write the Jayhawker so that it will be more appreciated by every student on the Hill. It is sad but .true that the present Jayhawker is ignoring the whims of The Herd, and I feel that by presenting my plans for a littler and better Jayhawker, I will be acclaimed by The Herd as a sort of savior or some- thing. It must be realized that to change the style of the entire Jayhawker, even though it may be for the sake of The Herd, is no small job. As a matter of fact, it is a tremendous job, so be sure that you appreciate my efforts. Nothing could be left as it stands at present. Now, when you mention this outstanding publication to the student- in-the-basement-of-Ad. the conversation will follow much as: Have you seen the Jayhawker? What? Seen the Jayhawker? -fafi mm The Jayhawker? Yeah. The Jayhawker. Oh, The Jayhawker. Such a conversation as this is certain- ly significant, and we cannot deny that such an attitude on the part of The Herd will eventually spell the doom of the present type of Jayhawker. And so I feel it quite in order that I offer a brief outline of the new and revised plan for Jayhawkers. (I mean the maga- zine, not the staggering alumni who pro- claim themselves by the same name every homecoming.) First, we must consider the cover. Obviously it must have a picture of some kind or other on it, since this has been the custom throughout the history of such publications, and it is not my desire to be labeled as a red by leaving off the essential picture. But this alone does not satisfy the average student. Something always seems lacking. I feel that this point is well taken, and I pre- scribe the necessary cure as being a cover on which there are several very obvious blunders on the part of the de- signer. The Herd appreciates such a cover to its fullest extent, since it is more than gratifying to be able to point out some dumb mistake to your friends. For example, I would have a picture of a snow storm (in red so as to add color) and in the center would be a blossoming cherry tree. Also, it would be best to leave out a letter in w : ord Jayhawker, making it appear across the top of the cover as Jahawker. Such errors would be easily discovered, and each individual of The Herd would be extremely pleased at his keenness in ob- serving these mistakes. For my editorial staff on the inside cover I would list the names of the professors whose classes are the most filled. Thus the student showing the magazine to his parents could run his finger down this list and mention cas- ually and effectively that he knew prac- tically everyone on the staff. This makes quite an impression on the par- ents and also bolsters the self-esteem of the student. I have also found it very true that the Student-on-the-Hill would rather read his name in print than see a dozen classic poems (whether in Lit class or not). Hence it is advisable to use four or five pages torn haphazardly from the Student Directory. It is a well known fact that this little red book (not the one you ' re thinking about) is the best read publication on the Hill, and due to this fact I would publish a number of its pages. In that way I would be as- sured of selling as many copies as the number of names printed. At present there is a strange and un- comprehensible column known as Campus Polylogia, a column which every one skips for two reasons. First, they don ' t know the meaning of the v title, (don ' t sneer, you don ' t either), and second, it is not written in worth while style. I feel that we would have a much more effective column by titling it Thoughts While Eating An Apple, and then go on from there, bringing in as many more names as possible for the sake of sales receipts.

We are proud of its growth during the comparatively few years of its existence, of its beautiful and well-kept campus, and of its high standards of scholarship and training. We are proud of its faculty and of its student body. In fact we feel that our University is one of the finest institu- tions of higher learning in the Middle West. The University of Oklahoma (except for the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing) is located at Nor- man. 18 miles south of Oklahoma City and very near the center of the state. The campus extends over 175 acres and is known as one of the most attractive spots in the state. Being located in a small town has enabled the campus to expand to its present size. Some 30 buildings are found on the campus and there is ample room for many more. The planting of an abundance of trees was provided for by the early admin- istration of the University and these have grown to such proportions as to increase the natural beauty of the lo- cation. During the last few years the campus has been further beautified by careful planting of flowers, trees and shrubs. Nine colleges and separate schools make up the University of Oklahoma. These include the Graduate School: the College of Arts and Sciences: the Col- lege of Business Administration: the College of Education; the College of Engineering: the College of Fine Arts: the School of Law: the School of Medi- cine, including the School of Nursing: and the School of Pharmacy. The total enrollment of the University for the first semester of this school year is 5.510. The students of several of the schools and colleges have their own particular school customs and show loyalty and school spirit toward their particular division of the University. This fact is most noticeable in the College of En- gineering, the School of Law and the School of Pharmacy. The engineers, of which there are more than 800. wear green shirts to dis- tinguish themselves from the rest of the students and to mark them as sons of old Erin. March 17 is the big day of the year for the engineers. During the week-end nearest that date they hold a parade, have a fireworks dis- play, a banquet and a dance, and con- duct an open house in which are ex- hibited all types of engineering. They have a queen who is elected each year shortly before the St. Pat ' s celebration and is crowned at that time that is. if she can be found. The lawyers, who look on the engineers as their greatest enemies, often attempt to kidnap the queen before the coronation. In the coronation ceremony, which is public and is held on the steps of the Engineer- ing Building immediately following- the parade, the queen must kiss the ' ' blar- nev stone. a rock which the bovs claim THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AT NORMAN 208 THE JAYHAWKER OKLAHOMANS RELAX BETWEEN CLASSES they keep buried all year in a secret place, bringing it forth only for this gala occasion. She is then crowned by St. Pat, an outstanding senior engi- neer selected by St. Pat ' s Council, the governing body of the Engineers ' Club. Following the coronation Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternities, make public their list of pledges. At the time of the fireworks display the Loyal Knights of Old Trusty, a secret organization whose members wear black robes and are known only by numbers, bring forth and fire an ancient cannon which they keep in hiding during the rest of the year. The lawyers, too, have some unique and interesting customs. For instance every senior lawyer carries a cane. Posing as too dignified for queens and parades, they stand on the steps of their building, known as the Law Barn, and give bronx cheers as the engineers ' parade passes by. Another custom of the lawyers is concerned with their final exams. It is considered bad luck either to shave or to change shirts from the time of the first final until the last one is over. One of the traditions of the lawyers came to an end this year with the inception of the practice of as- signing seats in lecture rooms alpha- betically. Formerly it was first come, first served, and a number of lawyers have been known to break into the building late at night before the morn- ing of the first classes of a semester and stay on the site all night long in order to lay claim to one of the choice seats. It might be mentioned that the death rate in the Law School is higher than in any other school of the Uni- versity this is illustrated by the fact that this year ' s second year class num- bers only 90 whereas at this time last year there were 125 students in the class. On the west side of the campus, somewhat set apart from the rest of the buildings, is the School of Pharmacy. This is the smallest of the schools, num- bering only 104 students, and, conse- quently, everybody knows everybody else. There is probably a closer fellow- ship between the faculty and the stu- dents in this school than in any of the others. The students go into the dean ' s office at will, sit down on the edge of his desk and discuss their problems with him. The School of Medicine, with the School of Nursing and the University Hospital, is located in Oklahoma City. The medics lead the most separated life of any of the University students. They care little for the University as a whole. They have their own fraternities, their own social affairs and their own tra- ditions and we seldom see them in Nor- man. There classes are organized and THE LAW BARN UNIVERSITY OK KANSAS 209 LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING have frequent meetings. Occasionally some student from the Norman campus goes to Oklahoma City to talk to these class meetings in an attempt to interest the medics in some University activity but the same student never attempts this folly twice for he is drowned out by a chorus of boos. There are three important student publications, all of them self-support- ing. These are the Sooner Yearbook, the Oklahoma Daily, and the Whirl- wind. The Sooner varies from 300 to 400 pages and presents a panorama of the school year; the Daily, the slogan of which is More than a student news- paper, is a seven column newspaper which publishes every day but Mon- day and which includes complete campus, city anJ AP coverage; and the Whirlwind is a monthly humor magazine. The publications are gov- erned by the Publication Board, which includes the director of the School of Journalism, another journalism faculty member, a third faculty member se- lected by the Men ' s Council and the Women ' s Self Governing Association, and six student members, one repre- senting each of the three publications and one representing the publications at large, and one each being chosen by the Men ' s Council and W.S.G.A. On this campus, as on others, there are a number of honorary and depart- mental organizations somewhere around 150. These include local chap- ters of national honoraries, local hon- oraries, debating societies, pep clubs, religious fraternities, departmental clubs and what not. It is generally recognized that the greatest honor to be conferred upon a man student in the University is mem- bership in Pe-et. a local senior honor- ary founded in 1910. The complete name of this society, Ne-hooks-se-de- Pe-et-e-de-doo-de-wah-de, is an Indian phrase and means 10 best men. and the reason for its reputation is the fact that every man in the University is eli- gible for consideration in picking the members. Each year every junior man student having a grade average of B or better is sent an application on which he indicates his grade average and his extra-curricular and leadership activi- ties. These reports are graded by a point system and the 10 highest men. regardless of fraternal or political af- filiations, are selected provided there are 10 or more with more than 100 points. If there are less than 10 who measure up to that standard only those reaching that figure are accepted the average class for a year is eight. The corresponding honor for women stu- dents is membership in the local chap- ter of Mortar Board, which is a na- tional senior society for girls. Other coveted honors for men are membership in Toga and Checkmate, inter-school senior societies. Skeleton Key, a leadership fraternity, and the President ' s Class, a group of 15 to 20 junior men selected to meet with the President of the University and discuss cultural subjects. The latter group is confined to students in the College of Arts and Sciences. Each year the Dads Association presents mammoth silver loving cups to the outstanding man and woman students in the University. UNION BUILDING Members are pledged to Pe-et. Mor- tar Board, Toga. Checkmate and Skele- ton Key each year in a public ceremony held as a part of the program of Sen- ior Day, which conies on the Friday nearest the first of May. Other features of this day ' s program include a Senior- Faculty baseball game and the Junior- Senior Prom. Last year the Sooner was delivered on this day as an added fea- ture and it is hoped that this will be- come a regular custom. ' For the past four or five years, campus political offices have been controlled by the group known as the Administration Party. The basis for the success of this party is the fact that it attempts to divide things equally be- tween fraternity and non-fraternity groups. It includes in its membership a majority of the fraternities and a majority of the sororities as well as the largest single bloc of independent (Conlinued on page 225 I THE FIELD HOUSE 210 THE JAYHAWKER HILL PERSONALITIES HETTY COX CHUCK LUECK DICK WELLS OTIS BRUBAKER DAVID TRIPP CLARICE SLOAN F.

SWARTHOUT The Christmas Vespers This year ' s vespers proved to be more elaborate and more beautiful than ever before A CROWD that filled every seat and foot of available space, and stood three and four deep at the back of the main floor and both galleries, produced a record attendance for the annual School of Fine Arts Christmas Vespers at the University of Kansas auditorium. Several hundred late com- ers were unable to get inside the build- ing. At 2 o ' clock, two full hours before the opening hour for the program, the first of the huge audience arrived on the scene. All in all, no similar program in the twelve years the Christmas vespers has been presented has gone through with the smoothness and precision of the program. As the audience entered the auditorium, the place was in semi- darkness with a dim blue lighting on the huge stage on which had been erected the smaller stage for tableaux and which was flanked on either side with evergreens and seven-point can- delabra. Professor L. E. Anderson took his place at the organ at 4 o ' clock and fol- lowing the introductory chimes played the beautiful Matin Provencal from Bonnet. A string ensemble of violin, two cellos, harp and organ began the lovely Ave Maria, from Bach-Gou- nod, and from either side, in white vestments entered two small boys, Seba Eldridge. Jr., and Edwin Bodin, who lighted the candles and retired. Then from the back of the large auditorium came the strains of Adeste Fideles, as down the two side aisles came the white vested chorus in pairs, each car- rying a lighted taper. As the chorus came onto the platform, the stage was brought gradually into full light and the singers took their places at either side. There followed the musical program as announced with an instrumental and choral number preceding each of the three tableaux. The instrumental selections were a Scherzo from the Dvorak ' ' Terzetto, played by Walde- (Continued on page 229) SCENES FROM THE CHRISTMAS VESPERS 212 THE JAYHAWKEB Tau Si igma PLEDGES Virginia Banfield Ruth Beatty Catherine Conklin Ruth De Wees Catherine Dunkel Mary Elizabeth Edie Alice Haldeman-Julius Mary Lou Harrison Carol Hunter Ruth Kurd Helen Johnson Betty Lemon Caro line Newman Martha Nuzman Valesca Powell Lucille Sharp Betty Ruth Smith Betty Sterling Donna Sutherland Peggy Wilcox RUTH PYLK President Tau Sigma, honorary dancing soror- ity, was founded here at the University of Kansas in 1921 by a group of women of which Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, ad- viser, was a member.

CORRESPONDENT Lament for Love The great jade dome was splashed with red, Where day and night had fought and bled, The sun, as fast he downward fled, Had made a glory ' round your head. And you were very dear. Now winter skies are cold and dead. The hungry bird must go unfed. And night brings but returning dread, With you no longer near. I think of all the things you said, Read poems we together read, And mourn the life we might have led If you were only here. T. C. Lawrence The dulcet glow of the great sky- lantern Who rides the sable field of night With beauty, the vanguard of the stars, In the passions of the ages, In the subtle dreams of sages, Holds a place of mystery, of witchery: For all her golden majesty She has jested long and mockingly, And waxed and waned among her silent stars. Eyes that eyes alone have been before Are limpid pools of ecstasy, And hair and lips, and slender hips The dreams of all eternity, When Diana glows in velvet skies, And lends her gleam to tender eyes And those gleams and dreams are The Stars Weep not, my little one; See How the first star shineth Brightly as ever In the evening sky. How quickly cometh the night! And the multitude of stars Maketh the deep snows to sparkle, Even as in summer they turned the fluttering leaves To fleeting silver, Even as they have made many snows to sparkle And silvered for a moment Last year ' s leaves And the little grey leaves that fluttered In The Garden Even now shineth The eternal stars. Frances Langworthy An Argument I heard an argument. I heard a gently flowing stream Of words. I heard them mount Into a thundering dialect! I saw emotion. It whipped quick tears into the eyes, And it was at once A challenge and a contradiction. I saw words hurled in space, Inspiring humanity, and There I saw them shattered Into bits. The stream had changed its course. Newborn as is the dawn, Built up from the nothing against The something set out for; Again I heard great argument. Maxine Wilhelmi The jest of all eternity. Ray Isham Thoughts A swift uprush of wild And turbulent thoughts, And I am stranded high On barren rocks. With little pools Of ideas I have had. Muddy pools I hope someday may gather, Into another wave And strand me on a higher cliff. Helen Davidson Joseph Brewer Paths (or Spring My neighbor burns his grass in early fall. Some evening when I stop outside my gate I ' ll see him there amid a haze of smoke, Whistling and leaning on his blackened rake. The grass is charred and fills the evening air With pungent odors. I move across The yard, longing to call and ask him why He happily spreads black fire with his rake. I ' m silent for I know what he will say: This grass is dead. I ' m clearing paths for spring. Helen Davidson I ' m Afraid to Die Be damned all you who seek in life A sign of life in death, And use your dying breath To vow eternal waiting For some immortal mating On a cloud-high meadow, Sweet with exotic asphodel, Crossed not by dimming shadow. Fools are those who to the sky Raise their hands, not knowing why; All ends when living stops And I ' m afraid to die. Ray Isham Lamentation Above, the gray gulls wheel and cry, Below, the gray waves are running high, And all around, the chill winds whine.

Popeye had been discussed and Mr. Geezil had been well geeziled when one keen student of the slate politic turned the talk to matters of the ad- ministration of our country, long may she but we ' ll leave that for the pres- ent. She listened to what her compa- triots thought, or thought they thought, and finally came through with the most searching and analytical critique of Rooseveltian Democracy to date. I think it ' s a fizzle, she said, weightily, in a way. I mean, I think Roosevelt ' s a fizzle and Mrs. Roosevelt ' s a fizzle, so how could the government be anything else than a fizzle? I heard a sound as of a hand being clapped forcefully over a mouth. Ssssspppppff, said the first speak- er, Pfff-f-f fizzle! The Sig Owphs have worked out a rather neat system for assisting the members in storming the defenses of a girl ' s favor at the U. of K. The plan goes into effect at all the dances, and although it has born but little fruit as yet, it may bear quite a few before the year is out All the boys get together and nominate a few queens to be the recipients of their attention and pro- ceed to gang up on any mere Phi Gam or Delt who seeks to trip around with the lady in question. After this treat- ment has been kept up for several dances the lady becomes so accustomed to it that if she hasn ' t a Sig Owph or two around or on her feet she feels out of place. When this stage is reached she becomes a good investment and the lads then sell shares to all the brothers, someone brings her over to dinner the night they have butter with the bread, and said lady disappears from the ken of man. This is really a subtle scheme, but if some girl with an inadequate constitution should up and die under the treatment, the boys might be open to charges of cruelty to an , of cruelty. The constant inseparability of Delta Chi Woody Pennington and Kite gal Betty Williams has given rise to more than the usual number of rumors that they are already secretly and of course happily married. We are not prepared either to confirm or deny any such reports, but we have run across an in- cident concerning them which may at least shed a little false light on the sub- ject. The restrainedly cooing couple had been invited to attend the uletide tea-dance submitted to by many of Kan- sas City ' s best on the day after Christ- mas. Woody had not met his hostess, and when Betty dragged him in she swept him up to Mrs. Blank with the proud look of a kid with ten lolly-pops and not a friend in sight. Mrs. Pennington, may I introduce Mr. Pennington? I mean, may I intro- duce Mr. Blank? she weakened at this point and gave over the formal part of the speech, saying in a dazed sort of way, Mr. Blank? Miss Blank? Pen- nington? Mrs. Woody?, but shall I draw the veil, while you draw your own conclusions? of you I I leave to your own conjecture and Hasburgh ' s further ingenuity. Jack Hasburgh. the Hill ' s foremost exponent of sane and normal living, seems to have organized his affairs with the silk-stockinged half of the student body after the manner of modern base- ball, without, however, the curbing ministrations of a Kenesaw Mountain Landis to guide him in the paths of true conservatism. The systematization became apparent when McFarland gra- ciously invited Jack to take her to the Pi Phi Christmas turkey trot; he was very glad to go, and he did, and he danced most with Jo Hellings. who had just terminated a contract with one of the better Betas. To top all this off, Jackie has been keeping telephone tab on another Pi Phi that he has farmed out to a youth from another lodge. There seems to have been a trade of sorts with the Betas, because Betty Lou may be seen at just about any time playing Let ' s Be Domestic in the Pi Phi parlor with Jim Schwartz, just re- leased from another club in the same circuit. The rest, dear readers, (all two It being the policy of this column to expose injustice and inhumanity wherever she may be found, we take the liberty of relating the following frightful incident which occurred in the sub-basement (lounge to youse Sig Chis I of the big brick barracks of the Chi boys. There is an inmate of the house who is disguised under the name of George N orris, and who has just one viewpoint about anything: If it ' s fun, I ' m agin it.

(Continued on page 231 } THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes THE middle of the year scholas- tically, likewise marks a similar pe- riod from the standpoint of men ' s fashions. Looking backward, we ob- serve developments along the more formal lines and forward, there is prophecy and conjecture as to what spring will bring forth. In light of the trends in campus and street wear and also in sports clothes, during the past fall season we are safely assured of the continuance of rough fabrics and sport backs for some time to come. While the Prince of Wales was not listed among the ten best dressed men of England, he can be considered a s highly in favor of the new shirts with collars whose points are spread wide apart and rounded consid- erably. The latest variation, which is receiving much ac- ceptance in these parts approximates the existing ring eyelet or pin through number minus the pin. Probably the newest development apparent will be the trend in double breasted suits toward the long roll lapel, which rolls to the bottom button. This model also carries an exception- ally high waistcoat in most cases. In single breasted numbers, there are many three button notched lapel mod- els, carrying flaps on the pockets and BY HIM an additional cash pocket. The jacket itself is long, the lapel rolls high sug- gesting a long straight effect. Inci- dentally, in the single breasted suit there will obviously be a return to the double-breasted waistcoat, of the tat- lersall type, as well as of the suit material. Variations of the bi-swing back will be noted, such as single pleats on each shoulder, carrying down the full length of the back of the coat. These models will carry side vents and pleated patch pockets. One of the very newest and smartest types of sport shoes has eliminated laces and replaced them with a strap and buckle. In brown buckskin this is quite a favorite. It has been seen on this campus in a blucher tie style, fitted with a crepe sole. Joe Holloway of Pi Kappa Alpha, Jack Townsend of Sig Alph and Cark Rapp of D. U. are sporting these types. An exception to the rougher fabric idea is, of course, the old favorite, flannel, accompanied by many show- ings of gabardine in its regular colors as well as self figured patterns which give it a little different appearance. The appearance of more herringbones is assured as well. Lloyd Metzler, var- sity dance manager has this in a grey double breasted, which also features the cash pocket above the regular pocket. Dave Fisher, of Sig Ep, at the soph hop, wore an attractive brown herring- bone, single breasted and featuring the slimed back. About three years ago the reversible Harris Tweed and Gabardine topcoat was first worn at the eastern football games. While its acceptance here has been retarded by wrap-arounds and other numbers of the heavier type it is a fair- ly safe bet that its ap- pearance by next fall is assured. Professor Howey, has brought this number to the campus in a Balmaccan model which has no belt. Not only does it have the practical all purpose value for almost any type of weather (including rainy), but it features a tendency towards (Continued on page 228) KANSAS CITY, MO.

Haggard faces and sleepy eyes may tell their story on our coeds, but they have no effect on the neatness which is forever being dis- played among the members of the fairer sex of the University. Each formal occasion brings out many new dresses, this time with black holding sway in the world of colors. Ginger Ewers, famous Pi Phi. was spot- ted at the Sophomore Hop in a black velvet semi-formal. A high stand-up collar and a bright rose red sash were the main points of note about the dress. It was. indeed, the smartest frock of this type we have seen since Christmas. Mary Kay Daugherty, Theta. was seen New Years ' Eve, (perfectly sober I. wearing another black velvet with a stand-up collar. Lucille Bottom ' s dress, that same evening was black velvet with rhinestone shoulder straps. Lucille, a pledge to Kappa Kappa Gamma, looked very smart in this creation. We still maintain that Joan Jankowsky is the best dressed coed on the Hill. When we spotted her the other night in a black and white satin model, we thought we were seeing a vision a very lovely one. The long train made the dress even more effective. Joan wears smart clothes and she wears them well. It is no won- der such a charming miss was voted the Hill ' s Most Fascinating Coed. It is indeed startling how many of the young ladies have grown long braids of hair overnight recently. Kath- ryn Cassidy. Gamma Phi neophyte, now wears a braid around her head, which, though very sudden, is very becoming. Her hair, always in perfect order, waves back from her face very natural- ly into the braid. Annette Lawrence, of Alpha Chi. has her own hair in a braid over head, and looks stunning. She is one of the few girls who has hair long enough to braid and reach around her head. One of the neatest hair dresses we have seen on the Hill is worn bv Betty Smith. Kappa pledge. Can anyone recall seeing her when her hair was not in perfect order. Martha Widbin. Alpha Gam pledge, curls her lovely- auburn hair to make a crown for her head. Few lassies could do this, at least with the success, she does. Lena Wyatt. famous member of Alpha Delta Pi, is another coed who can boast of hair long enough to wear clear around her head in a braid. And to Jessamine Jack- son, A. 0. Pi. goes our vote for the only member of the fairer sex. outside of Miriam Hopkins, who can wear bangs curled tightly high on her forehead. Only a very good looking person could do this. Perhaps it is a bit late in the season to be writing up winter suits, but we have seen some that we can not let go by without mentioning. Judy Jencks. Kappa, wears a purple suit with grey fur. which several people mentioned to us before we were able to see it. No wonder people were talking. It is a knockout . And Julia Markham ' s green suit with the beaver collar, is very smart. How could the season have slip- ped by without mentioning these two? You really can ' t blame us. And we almost forgot Peg Sherwood ' s, capable president of WSGA. and member of Kappa Alpha Theta. brown suit with ' the brown fox collar. Such a chic suit overlooked, would indeed have been a major tragedy. Christmas brought out many new frocks. So. although, it is also a bit late to be mentioning coats, again please forgive us. Marie Russel. of A. D. Pi. has been seen frequently in a brown fur coat. We couldn ' t be sure of the kind of fur. as the coat was seen at too great a distance, but anyway it is lovely. Donna Sutherland. Pi Phi pledge, has our vote for having the Hill ' s loveliest coat. Brown mink, with a large collar, and cut in swagger style, but yet very dressy, the coat is smart, 222 THE JAYHAWKER Sophomoritis (Continued from page 181) 1 It seems to have become traditional in the past few years to attempt to convince the readers of The Jayhawker that in spite of seeming insignificance, the sophomore officers are important functionaries. Nor do we seek any quar- rel with them, for they are all honor- able men. (Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made to the copyright owners for permission to quote the immortal Antony in these pages.) But our pur- pose is to bury these officers, not to praise them. An impersonal view of the situation gives rise to the thought that there is little justification for the soph- omores having any officers. Probably ihe class, and surely the school, could struggle along without them. True, the president of the class is permitted to watch the deliberations of the Men ' s Student Council (they ' re all honorable men, too), and is even per- mitted to deliberate himself should he feel inspired, but he has no vote. The vice-president and secretary are mem- Double door (Continued from page 205) 1 This year should see a proper com- promise brought about between the different factions on the Hill con- cerning dramatic productions. There are many people on the campus who believe that students can handle heavy roles as well as light ones. So far this year the productions have been in the lighter vein entirely. The problem still remains for the Dramatic Club and the Kansas Players to collaborate on certain productions whose plots are interesting and enter- taining and whose parts give the stu- dents a real chance to prove their abil- ity in different types of roles. They will find that the students will support this sort of production and will heartily back any experiments along that line. bers of the W.S.G.A. and cooperate with that organization in giving money to the K Book, getting coeds in on time, and denouncing the combines which elected them. The varsity dance man- ager is kind enough to tack the class name onto one of his four de luxe parties, in which action the soph dance managers heartily acquiesce. Nor is this condition confined to ihe sophomore class. The officers of the other classes, with the possible excep- tion of the seniors, are just as inactive. The whole situation merely reflects the potency of University politics. The sophomores may well be thought of as a class who are by now well oriented in the college environment, who are enjoying the mid-summer of their col- lege life, with one season of trials and cares behind them and forgotten, and another far enough in the future to be of little concern at present.

Right after classes were over on Wednesday, the Betas, Phi Psis, Sig Alphs. and Kappa Sigs vied for the en- tertainment honors with dinner dances. It was a busy night for the co-ed pop- ulation. The Woog ' s Turkey Pull was a howling success. The girlies are still raving about Russ Field ' s cute menus. Before we had rightly gotten bark to work after the holidays, the Chi Omegas led off with a house party. Nobody has ever found fault with a dance given by the Horseshoe girls. Acacia at the Eldridge and the A. O. Pis at their house completed the sched- ule of the evening. Red Blackburn, who always draws the crowds when he leads his band at the new Union building, plaved at the varsity. Saturday evening. Red hasn ' t had his share of playing this year at the regular school dances, but the lads have kept in practice here and there and if it weren ' t for a little too m-irh brass now and then, they ' d be the un- challenged music-makers in this sec- tion. The boys who do the swell singing in early spring, the Phi Mus, enter- tained in their new house the same The Sophomore Hop. which is dis- cussed somewhere in these paies. met with great success the night of the eleventh. Ralph Bennett supplied the musical accompaniment. Sigma Kappa. Sig Ep, and the Delta Zetas danced twenty-four hours later on their ow r n premises. Those concerned haven ' t com- plained of having spent a bad evening. The final big party to be reviewed here was the varsity a week later. Dick Gossett (haven ' t I seen him in someone else ' s band) led a group of lads who used to go under another name to some grand tunes. It was unanimously a good party. The Phi Psis had a party on the preceding night. Between semesters, the two annual fraternity parties, the Sigma Chi fresh- man dinner-dance, and the Phi Gam Pig Dinner were held February sec- ond and January 31 respectively. That seems to conclude the social events of the first half year. Spring party dates are already being fought over, and some of the boys are even now wondering if they ' ll get originals to them but more of that later. (Continued from page 188) more eligible for the trained position he is seeking. In a brief summary, let us consider the advantages a professional fra- ternity member gets while in school. First of all, he gets the benefits of wide contacts, social life, training in getting along with others, and training in the social graces, as do the members of purely social fraternities. Then he gets invaluable contacts with his faculty outside of the classroom, and with suc- cessful and helpful professional men. Lastly, and perhaps this is the most im- portant thing he gets from his fraternal connections, the student receives ines- timable help with his school work and general professional training from those about him who are interested in the same work as he is. and w-ho want to help produce a man whom the fra- ternity can be proud to present as one of its own to the professional world. And so. as in the following section of this Jayhawker we present the K. V. professional fraternities, let us hope that in the years to come, these organi- zations will continue to merit, by their value to students taking professional work, their well-deserved position as one of the integral factors in successful student life on our campus.

THE JAYHAWKER Jayhawkers seek fifth court title (Continued from page 185) romped to a 40 to 14 decision in their third circuit game, paced by Ray Eb- ling, Big Six scoring champion, who accounted for a dozen points. The re- sult never was in doubt, with the home club piling up a 19 to 5 lead at inter- mission time. Oklahoma then came to town. It was the first crucial test for the 1934 champions. The Sooners, too, boasted an unblemished record in Big Six con- tests, and here was an important hurdle for the Jayhawkers to clear if they real- ized their hopes for the crown. Hot was not the word to describe the Jayhawkers in the first game. Un- conscious more nearly would tell the story. They just couldn ' t miss and as a result they put the Sooners to rout under a 50 to 23 tally. Besides eliminating the Oklahoma five from the unbeaten class, the game also was featured by the return to form of Ehling, who hadn ' t been able to hit the netting with any degree of accuracy. He chalked up six baskets and eight free throws for a total of 20 points, to be followed by Wells with 14. The last game of the series was viewed with an air of apprehension by the Jayhawkers and their supporters. It didn ' t seem possible that they could be on to such a great degree for a second straight night and they weren ' t. In as complete a reversal of the dope sheet as had been recorded in the Big Six for some time, the Sooners made a marvelous comeback to win, 36 to 26, and forge ahead of Kansas in the race by virtue of having played one more game. Their fast break worked with dazzling precision and only for a short time were they out of the lead, that being in the early minutes. The Jayhawkers tried everything and about everything went wrong. Shots rolled lazily around the hoop and out again. Passes failed to reach their mark. They had paid the penalty of being too warm the night before. That ' s a summary of the basketball situation as it stood with eleven more games on the slate, three at home and eight on alien battle grounds. What will the rest of the schedule hold for Kansas? Time alone will tell. Here ' s hoping that it ' s another Big Six championship! Wrestling prospects look up (Continued from page 188) in the second he won by a fall over .his rival Cornhusker. Childs is also a first year man and with two years ' experi- ence on his present ability should some day bring home a championship for the Jayhawkers. Douglas in the 145 pound class is on his way to follow Captain Noland who won the cham- pionship in this class last year. Cap- tain Noland is competing in the 155 pound class this year, defeating his op- ponent in the Nebraska meet after wrestling to a draw in the Kansas State meet. In the 165 pound class, Kansas has been represented by two men, both of whom have been defeated in their matches. Norman Jacobshagen com- peted for Kansas against the Kansas State visitors, and Frank Hodgson com- peted against Nebraska in the second meet. Kean Tilford, representing the 175 pound class in both meets, has had the unfortunate breaks, having been defeated in both matches by only slight time advantages. In the unlimited class, Kansas ' Tiny Moore has brought two victories home to the Jayhawkers by winning both matches by falls. After gaining recognition in football, Tiny is now out to equal the record set by the Kansas wrestling hero, Peter Meh- ringer, when he was undefeated in the entire wrestling season. Interest in wrestling in the past few years has diminished because of the inferior Kansas teams, and so this vic- tory over Nebraska in the last meet is quite a feather in the cap of the wrest- ling Jayhawkers. It is the first victory that the Kansas wrestlers have brought home in over seven years; and with this year ' s superior team, high hopes are held for victories in all future matches. The squad has three meets remaining this season: the meet with Missouri at Columbia on February 22, the return meet with Kansas State at Manhattan on February 28 and the Big Six meet at Ames on March 8 and 9. s SINCE 1898 tudents have enjoyed the security of an establishment that has the worth- while reputation of handling quality merchandise at prices of economy.

The party policies and nominees are determined by a committee con- sisting of representatives from each member fraternity and an equal num- ber of non-fraternity men. Just before the Men ' s Council election last spring there was a break in the party, with two fraternities and a few independent joining the opposition to form the Sooner Party, but the old group was too strong to be beaten and won easilv. even gaining a victory in the Law School which had alwavs been against it. Besides the Men ' s Council, the Party controls the W.S.G.A.. the Inter-Fra- ternity Council, class elections, and membership in Ruf- eks and Jazz Hounds. University pep organizations. However, it makes no attempt to con- I rol the selection of members for hon- oraries and has met with but little suc- cess in attempting to gain control over publications. Athletically, the University presents a well rounded program without put- ting undue stress on this phase of the student ' s development. The Department of Physical Education points with pride to two accomplishments: first, that more than 2.000 students participate every year in the intramural athletic program: and second, that even though Sooner teams may not take manv firsts in conference competition, they con- sistently win the mythical all-sports title of the conference, indicating a well-rounded program. One of the big events of the school year, both for the football team and the student body, is the Texas game. This game is played at Dallas, which is midway between the two schools, and there is seldom a year when at least 40 per cent of the Okla- homa student body does not attend the game. Pep at the games is engendered by the Ruf-Neks and the Jazz Hounds. There are 22 social fraternities and 13 social sororities on the campus of the University of Oklahoma. Included in these groups are 1.300 students, or a little less than 25 per cent of the total enrollment. The remainder of the stu- dent body live in dormitories and pri- vate boarding houses. Dances, dansants and open houses are included in the round of social events presented by the fraternity and sorority groups. For the independents, the -Men ' s Council spon- sors weekly dances. Other social events of the year include the Scabbard and Blade dinner dance, the R.O.T.C. dance, the inter-fraternitv. Men ' s Council and Freshman mixers, and the Ruf-Nek dance. A whistle blows at 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights and at 10:30 on other nights, and when the whistle blows all women students must be in and have their dates sent home. Dates are permitted only on Friday. Saturday and Sunday nights. For years there has been a rule against week night dating but it has never been stren- uously enforced until this year. Since about the middle of the past semester, however, those having week night dates have been called before the discipline committee and threatened with proba- tion or expulsion for repeated offenses. There has been a wave of student pro- test to the rigid enforcement of this rule but the Administration has stood its ground without wavering. At the meeting last week of the Board of Re- gents, the Men ' s Council presented a petition asking the removal of the rule, but the Board turned down the petition and recommended continued rigid en- forcement. The center of student activity on the campus is the Student t nion. This building, built and operated by the Alumni Association for the benefit of the students, is located near the center of the campus and is a rendezvous for all the students. It includes a ball room, in which are held the Student Council dances and a number of other proms and dances, a pool hall and bowling alleys, a cafeteria, a book exchange, a lounge, the offices of the Men ' s Coun- cil, the Y.M.C.A.. the Alumni Associa- tion and the Debate Forum, the studios of TNAD. and a number of rooms which are available for use by organ- izations. Each student is assessed a fee of $2.50 per semester to help pay off the bonds on this building. Another popular meeting place is the Varsity Shoppe and a third is the Tee- pee. These are eating shops located just off the campus and frequented by stu- dents at all hours of the day and night. However, at the time this is being writ- ten finals are just one day off and con- sequently the most popular place on the campus is the library, and that is where the writer is going right now. 226 THE JAYHAWKER Dr. Forrest C. Allen basketball wizard (Continued from page 171 I the Kansas football team. Trailing Ne- braska 20 to at the half of the game played on old McCook field and wit- nessed by 10,000 spectators seated in ramshackle wooden bleachers, Kansas came back in the second half, staged a great rally, and tied the game 20-20. His part in the construction of the stadium has always given Dr. Allen a great deal of satisfaction. In 1927 when it was decided to complete the stadium. Dr. Allen made the following state- ment to a Kansas City newspaper man: Of course it is fine to win in bas- ketball as it is in all other sports, but I hold my minor part in putting over the stadium prospectus, the location, the building of the first unit, the con- vincing of the committee that we could pay our bonded indebtedness on the $80,000 dressing rooms, ' our record payment in two years, and now the de- cision to complete the stadium as the most delightful and gratifying thing that has come to me in athletics. The Kansas relays were established in 1923, and Dr. John Outland of Kansas City and Dr. Allen must be credited with having the vision to see the possibilities that lay ahead of this spring carnival that each year is at- tracting more persons to the stadium and producing more thrilling races. But in the last analysis when one thinks of Dr. Allen it is usually in connection with basketball for there his work has been most sensational. His former players are frequently asked questions by outsiders who seek to find out just how Dr. Allen goes on win- ning. An analysis of any success is per- haps, for the most part, idle. The ways that lead to failure and those that lead to victory often run side by side and only a chance turning by the wayfarer may lead him to one or the other. Yet it is natural to seek the reasons for success. From the technical viewpoint the success of Allen ' s teams may be traced primarily to their knowledge of the fundamentals of the game. Dr. Allen is tireless in teaching his players how to pass, pivot, and shoot. Until one can do all of these things, well, he can ' t play on the Kansas team. The passing of the Jayhawker teams is particularly- noteworthy. They make fewer bad passes than any team this writer has ever seen play and that includes hun- dreds. Also they can shoot well, and after all, the pay-off comes on the num- ber of times you can get that round ball through that round hoop. Physically Kansas teams take the court in excellent condition. Dr. Al- len probably knows more about the treatment of athletic injuries than any- one in America. He seldom has a key man out of a game. He will work hours reducing the swelling in a sprained ankle, easing a sore back, or healing a bruised hand. His patience in looking after the physical condition and wel- fare of his players is remarkable. Ordinary successes have been built through strict attention to prosaic de- tails, but extraordinary success must draw more or less heavily on what may be conveniently called the in- tangibles. Dr. Allen has instilled in his basketball teams the idea that they are the royalty of the games. John McGraw did that for the New York Giants, Knute Rockne did it for his football teams, and William T. Tilden believed it about himself. A sophomore trying for the Kansas team does not expect to become a part of a losing club. He is striving to gain a place on a winner. The feeling of noblesse oblige enjoyed by Kansas teams is a potent factor in their suc- cess. It is reflected in the awe their op- ponents feel toward them whether they will admit the presence of that awe or not. Kansas teams step on the court with a feeling that they have a tradition to uphold and nine times out of ten they uphold it. In 1936 basketball will be played at the Olympic Games in Berlin. In 1929 Dr. Allen opened a campaign to have the sport included in the 1932 games. It was typical of the leadership he has displayed among the basketball coaches of the country. He was the first president of Basketball Coaches Asso- ciation; he has served on the rules com- mittee frequently; almost single-handed he led the successful fight against the rule introduced in 1927 that would have removed the dribble from the game. His book, My Basketball Bible has sold 14,000 copies and is one of the recognized texts on the game. His effort to get basketball in the 1932 Olympics failed, but in Berlin in 1936 the boys will be there shooting at the baskets. It would seem highly ap- propriate if Dr. Allen were there di- recting the shooting of the American team.

Rosas Electric Power | Company I Continued from page 169 1 About thirty State legislators visited the campus January 11, to inspect the buildings, and find what improvements are necessary. The chancellor, in a speech before them, emphasized some of the most urgent needs for the campus to keep the University up to date. At the present time, many laboratories are forced to use antiquated equipment, be- cause of insufficient appropriations to provide for new instruments. Incidental- ly, the work of Dyche Museum has been suspended. An appeal is to be made to this session of the legislature to appro- priate $46.000 for completing the task of renovating the interior of the build- ing. Not to be outdone by real legislators, several University men students were invited to attend a mock legislature session held in Manhattan. The Univer- sity representatives ran into a bit of unexpected stiff competition, however. They failed in their efforts to get the speaker of the house, but finally suc- ceeded in getting Phil Bramwell elected doorkeeper. Charles Hackler presented many bills: all were defeated by the repre- sentatives of smaller Kansas schools. Not giving up, however, at the end of the session. Hackler passed one thank- ing Manhattan for its hospitality, and that just passed by the skin of its teeth. The senior engineers, not to be out- done by the senior laws have adopted an official insigna: a green sweater built along the line of a sweat shirt and with the notations of the school print- ed in bold letters upon the back. The first day they were worn, however, it was cold and they were hidden under coats. The annual Tuberculosis drive, con- ducted under the leadership of the M. S. C. and the W 7 . S. G. A. netted about $200. This is the second year that such a University drive has been conducted. The Men ' s Pan-Hellenic scholarship trophy went to Beta Theta Pi. The Betas had an aveiage of 1.63 in- cluding only active members. Phi Delta Theta was second in scholastic standing, with a rating of 1.51, includ- ing only active members. The Freshman Frolic managers suc- ceeded in getting Johnny Johnson and his orchestra to play for their annual varsity party. The sophomore man- agers, feeling obliged to do as much as i their younger brethren, secured Ralph Bennett and His Seven Aces all eleven of ' em, for their party. Both dances were successful. Just before the Christmas holidays. there was the usual rush of fratern- ity parties. The Beta ' s held their tra- ditional Turkey Pull, at which each couple has to pass neath the mistletoe. Kappa Sigma had its annual black and white party. The Phi Psis lived up to their reputation for lavish and beau- tiful decorations at their holiday party. The Sig Alphs entertained their dates with a dinner dance. The students at the L niversity chose a very opportune time to have a measle epidemic just before final week. Most of the cases were just German measles, which are not very serious. Katherine Andreson couldn ' t do the thing half- way, however, and came down with a case of Red measles. At one time there were twenty-seven cases of contagious diseases in the hospital. On January 17, the University cam- pus was minus one of its most promin- ent figures: George, the cop. was at home sick with a cold. Our football heroes (Continued from page 199 I David Lutton.

Suf- ficient to say, it is definitely going to achieve an important position in the campus wardrobe. This dressier attitude is being evi- denced in the new Dicky Bosom shirts which bid for a fair share of apprecia- tion from those in the vanguard of fashion. McCormick Crouch of the Betas, Bob Kent, Kappa Sig pledge, Dick Mason of Sigma Epsilon, and Murphy of the Sig Eps have all taken lo this new product of the shirtmakers ' art with much apparent pleasure. These type of shirts make a very pleasing ap- pearance, with their neck band collars. George Wright, over Edgehill way, champions the double-breasted bi-swing, in a new number of hard finish basket weave, a homespun fabric. Bow ties are definitely on the in for spring and are a direct complement to the existing sport styles ot suits and shirts in both fabric and pattern. Their appearance in the rougher fab- rics is seen, probably as an outgrowth of these fabrics in the four in hands. Our ballyhoo of the tailcoat for for- mal wear has been admirably re- warded in the appearance of no less a personage than the genial campus maestro, Red Blackburn, who now ap- pears before his music-makers in this attire complete even to the red carna- tion buttoniere. Forrest Chapman, at such events as the Theta party and Acacia, likewise present in his tails ' other more recent affairs. The Wichita correspondent for this column reports very favorably the in- creased popularity of the tailcoat as evidenced there during the Christmas social season. Likewise, Messrs. Myk- land and Metzler, on their convention- hunting trip back east during the holi- days report that appearance in mere Tuxedos seemed a bit unconventional, to say the least. Sufficient to say, they ' ve gained a foothold here and by next year we feel safe in prophesying their rapid ' acceptance by many more of the front- liners of fashion. The scarf lo be worn with evening clothes, while white silk has been, and still is very good, has become, with the more fashionable at least, bright yel- low either of wool or of silk. It might be well to mention here that the wing collar so universally worn with evening clothes, is going to sport much bolder tabs, and the preferred tie is the narrow, pointed-end shape. While we have made little effort to- ward seeking out the names of those who are outstanding on the campus this time, we promise the latest as to per- son and locale for the next issue, when spring fashions will be literally burst- ing forth atop old Oread. For the pres- ent then, our nomination for a member of the best dressed Hall of Fame goes to Jack Park of Phi Gamma Delta, who wears what ' s right and what ' s more wears it well. Flash: Ring Lardner, well-known author and undergraduate at Princeton Uni- versity, writes me of these new fash- ions seen on the Princeton campus: One of the newest sport coats at Princeton is called the gusset-sleeve jacket. The jacket has nine inch bel- lows pleats at each shoulder, with a center vent or side vents. Rings on the side of slacks have been eliminated and the belt loops are lower from one-half to one inch. Many have the self-turned cuffs. Striped silk belts are being worn with slacks, taking the place of braces and narrow leather belts. One of the well-known furnishing shops is showing ties for sports wear made of actual Scotch wool tweeds. This same shop is showing stitched tweed hats in the favorite Tyrolian style. A few at Princeton have been seen wearing a brown suede ankle high shoe. It has two eyelets and resembles in style the jodphur riding shoe. JONES KANSAS CITY, MO.

Swart - hout, cello: Mervyn Anderson, harp: and Laurel Everette Anderson, organ. All of these were presented with fine spirit and finish. The chorus of 80 picked voices under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout had chosen three very effective numbers, two of which had the instrumental assistance of Margaret Love, violin: Alex Fielder, flute: Arthur Fielder, cello: Mervyn Anderson, harp: and L. E. Anderson, organ. In those, solo parts were splen- didly sung by Charles eiswonder. Keith Davis, Dorothy Ann Martin and Alice Denton. In Dulci Jubilo was an effective arrangement of a para- phrase on the well-known old Christ- mas carol, sung unaccompanied by the choir, with a solo part sung by Mary Louise Beltz. The choir sang with ex- cellent precision and attention to ex- pressive details. The tableaux were quite different in grouping from those presented in former years. Raymond Eastwood and Karl Mattern had worked out effective backgrounds with some new scenery while Miss Rosemary Ketcham with her able corps of as- sistants had procured and made up striking and elaborate costumes which, with the varied lighting effects, pro- duced pictures of unusual beauty. The Vision of the Shepherds. which opened the tableaux disclosed a glowing fire in the foreground around which were grouped the shepherds in Oriental costumes, some with the long crooks in hand. In the background shepherds were pointing in amazement to the star in the sky, as those about the fire raised up to see what the ex- citement was about. A mystic dark-blue light enveloped the whole scene while in the background could be seen the white walled city of Bethlehem. Those taking part in the picture were William Campbell, Ralph Hamilton. Virgil Lee. Richard Thomas, and John Yoder. The Carolers, was a picture of wonderful color. In a full white light six young people in costumes of some two or three centuries ago. some carry- ing old musical instruments of the same period, were wending their way in happy mood across the fields while in the background were the red roofs and the church tower of a little European village. The Carolers group com- prised Robert Cooke. Harriet Daniels. Carol Johnson. Betty Schwartz. Mar- garet Stratton and Ruth Swarthout. The final picture. The First Christ- inas. disclosed Mary by the side of the crib from which a radiant light came forth while Joseph stood rever- ently in the near background. Further back on either side and enveloped in a mysterious blue light stood two white robed angels with trumpets pointing skyward, as if heralding the important announcement to the world at large. The part of the Madonna was taken by Katherine Hurd. of Joseph by Charles Packard, and the two angels by Ger- aldine Remmert and Ruth Magerkurth. The choir again with lighted candles and to the well-known Hark the Her- ald Angels Sing. marched slowly off the stage single file, meeting at the center aisle and proceeding in a long- double column out to the corridor while the stage slowly was brought back into the semi-darkness that marked the opening of the program.

WHEELER Psychology RAYMOND HOLDER WHEELER was born in Berlin, Massachusetts, in 1892. He received his A.B. degree in 1912 from Clark College and his M.A. degree in 1913 from Clark University. In 1913 Professor Wheeler studied in various universities in Scotland, Eng- land, France, Germany, and other Eu- ropean countries. It was in these coun- tries that he received much of his knowl- edge on psychological laboratory re- search work and methods of conducting classes. During the Great War Dr. Wheeler was in the psychological serv- ice and held the rank of Captain during the latter part of his service. Before coming to the University of Kansas in 1925, he taught at Clark Uni- versity, Washington State College, and University of Oregon where he was made full professor of psychology. During the summers he has taught at Stanford University, University of Cali- fornia, University of Iowa, and the University of Texas. In addition to his teaching, he has written many important articles for major psychological publi- cations. He is a member of the Ameri- can Psychology Association. When the classroom becomes too monotonous, Dr. Wheeler seeks his rec- reation in hunting, fishing, and golf. Music is his hobby, although his spe- cial interest lies in the field of science: He has worked on the psychology of the blind and published some articles on that subject. Dr. Wheeler is one of the foremost American exponents on the Gestalt theory in psychology. BORN at Aurora, Illinois, on Novem- ber 6, 1860, Professor Frank Hey- wood Hodder, spent his earlier life in his home town. He received his educa- tion at the University of Michigan from which he graduated with a Ph.M. degree in the class of 1883. From 1885 to 1890 he was an instructor and assistant pro- fessor of history at Cornell University. While in that position, he was called to F. H. HODDER History the University of Kansas where he be- came-a professor of history. Because of his capability he was made head of the history and political science department in 1908, and it is that position which he still holds today. Professor Hodder has lectured at the summer sessions of the universities of Chicago, Colorado, and California. Civil Government in Kansas, Out- line Historical Atlas of the United States, and Outlines of American History are the important contribu- tions which Dr. Hodder has made to history in the form of books. In addi- tion to these he has edited several his- torical publications. DR. WILLIAM L. BURDICK, acting dean of the School of Law at the University of Kansas, is a native of Rhode Island. His early college educa- tion was received at Connecticut Wes- leyan and Harvard University. Fresh from Yale Law School in 1898, Dr. Burdick came to the University of Kan- sas, and has continued ever since, except for a year ' s leave of absence in 1932-33. for a world tour. Tangible recognition of Dr. Burdick ' s learning in the law came in 1912 when he was offered the editorship-in-chief of the Standard Encyclopedia of Pro- cedure. He declined this assignment, be- cause it would take him away from his University work. Another recognition of his legal ability was the appointment to direct the recodification of the statutes of the United States. The law books written by Dr. Burdick include ' ' Ele- ments of Sales, New Trials and Ap- peals, and Real Property. Since coming to the University he has taken an increasing interest in Univer- sity affairs, and in 1916 was made vice-president of the faculties. Though not as much interested in athletics as Dean Green, Dr. Burdick commands much the same affection and respect of the law students as did Uncle Jimmv. W. L. BURDICK Law UNIVERSITY OP KANSAS 831 TO K. U. STUDENTS: The Jayhawker takes this opportunity to recommend to Kansas University students that they patronize those firms which use the Jay- hawker as their advertising medium. ,. Only quality merchandise and services are offered in the Jayhawker by its adver- tisers. The Jayhawker advertisers make possible an outstanding annual at K. U., therefore, they are deserving of full student support. Thank you, PAUL L. WILBERT, Bus.

Chandler (won- derful house these Sigma Chis have), and the rest of the boys wearing them. Wher e did Prof. Davidson get that hat? Where did most of the other Profs get their hats? Who cares, etc.. etc. Also we would run the picture of every fraternity president on a page or two under the title Guys What We Don ' t Like. ' This title is likely to be understood by almost all of The Herd and they are bound to show their grati- tude by buying an extra annual in order to send this page home to the neighbors who want their son to be a Frat man. It seems, from past experience, that it would be advisable to run a final page of invective about the editor, the business manager (the grafter), and others who wrote the publication. This would not only please The Herd, but it would also save a lot of time for them, since they would not feel the urge to write long and involved letters to the Kansan about what a lousy piece of work the last issue was. Another advantage of the revised Jay- hawker would be that it w-ould be un- necessary to Lave a Humor Section since we would only run serious articles on such subjects as Women ' s Athletics, the Administration, the Men ' s Student Council, and the like. If such would not provide a laugh for even the most commonplace of The Herd, surely no deliberate humor would suffice. For it must obviously be realized that there is nothing funnier on the entire campus than the just mentioned subjects. After all. Humor is Humor, and so is the Men ' s Student Council. And so I feel that my brief outline is complete. The New Jayhawker is a publication that is truly of, for by. with. to. and from (all taking the ac- cusative) The Herd. A Jayhawker for Jayhawker . or some such dizzy slogan would be a fitting motto for this great publication. Even the Mathematics pro- fessors would enjoy parts of it. and af- ter all.

Mr. Posey is the man in ques- tion and the incident occurred in one of his geography labs.

In all fair- ness to the ejected Mr. Stroberg. he really had received an invitation to the party. One may ask them. Why was the young man removed from the scene of action? The answer is that the bid came from a Sigma Nu. and as you may remember, the party was not on West Tenth. This might be a good idea, at any rate the Sigma Kappas are con- sidering having Farrell repeat his act for their next party. Who knows? He might stumble onto a Deke or a Psi U. lost in the Kansas underbrush. S E RVI N G K. U.

I can remember it all very clearly, the hours of instruction, the teacher ' s horn rimmed spectacles, the bicycle I rode to and from school, but the details of sentence diagramming .... Well, the subject did come first, and the participles were quavering! y written on a line that drooled off below, or perhaps above, the main part of the sentence somewhere. That, and that alone, represents a large part of the knowledge I acquired during my Fresh- man year in High School. Then later there was ' Latin. ' Gallia was divisa in tres partes, and sui was some form of a pronoun, the mean- ing of which I am unable to recall. A straight line was considered to be the shortest distance between two points in geometry, or algebra, and I have often felt tempted to introduce into a poem the meaningless, but very euphonious term, passive periphrastic. But I do not feel bound to hang my head at the admission of such shame- ful forgetfulness. Never because of that shall I shout present to the ignomin- ious appelation of dummy. Rather, ' I feel proud that I have been able to overcome influences of early education that might easily have been fatal. But 1 fear that college education can- not be so simply disregarded. It is only too easy to realize that, after gradu- ation, success will depend largely upon our looking like a college graduate (rather than a tweedy article from Es- quire) and thinking like a human being. But such a realization is only the first step in curing the disease of being educated. It is no simple matter to throw off the drops of wisdom which have, in the last four years, saturated our much abused grey matter. We must learn to forget our college education. Many a student with excel- lent potentialities for the position of carpenter has failed in the struggle for existence because he tried to build a window by plotting its dimensions by means of analytical geometry instead of an ordinary yardstick. Collegiate brick- layers often compute their output sta- tistically instead of arithmetically. Everv dav the college graduate is tast- ing defeat because he has been unable to forget his higher learning. We laugh loudly at the legend of the collegiate hill billy whose parents bought him a pair of shoes and sent him to the State U. to gather up some of ' ' thet thar book larnin ' . The story of his four years of adjustment and his ultimate return home calls for a great deal of amusement, and his finally being shot because he talked like a revenooer is excrutiatingly funny. But actually it is no more funny than the pitiful plight which faces all college graduates who are unable to overlook the cultural attainments of potentially harmful four years. And so, we who are about to gradu- ate, according to our dear, dear Dean, must prepare ourselves for a definite era of forgetting. Just how to go about this process of forgetfulness is a mo- mentous problem. The best possible plan would be to find a job which left no time for remembering, a job which demanded every waking hour, such as writing for magazine publications. But such jobs are almost as unusual as de- mocracy among sorority women, and so we must evolve a more practical plan for the recent graduates. Hermitting is out, since the four year adjustment to a continuous roar cannot give way to the silence of the forest primeval. The college graduate would find himself stark mad within a week. Likewise, those being initiated into a world of normal humans cannot achieve their purpose of forgetting by finding an ordinary office job, since only too often will the boss (usually the graduate ' s father) ask kindly, What ' s wrong with the light hanging in the window? Such a ques- tion is likely to inspire a vicious an- swer coached in lengthy and equational phrases which have been recently gleaned from the subject matter of an equally viscous Physics text. Under such circumstances the graduate is like- ly to become the main character in the well known tragedy involving the stern parent sending his offspring into the cold, cold night, thinly clad and a text book held tightly in his arms. The Foreign Legion or manual labor hold distant possibilities, but -obviously we cannot consider either in a serious light. Hence we have eliminated all channels of escape from college mem- ories but one. We can best forget what has happened in our past four years of college by taking a graduate course. There, in the same collegiate atmos- phere, our memory of cultural facts is bound to dwindle into insignificance. College, we realize, has enabled us to forget High School, and hence a Grad- uate course should enable us to forget College. Thence we can go into the world with nothing more than a broad- ened outlook on life and a fraternity pin or a dislike for fraternities. The question is bound to arise, Pre- cisely what should the graduate re- member about college and what should he endeavor to forget? There may be much dispute as to the complete answer, but there are a number of points that are generally agreed upon. Following is a brief list of what to remember, if possible: 1. The time there was an explosion in lab. (There is always at least one during a college career.) 2. The Prof who dressed peculiarly. Alternate: The Prof who was peculiar. 3. The dates and dances other than mid-weeks. Of course, this is only a partial list, but these are certainly three outstanding points. And anyway, we can ' t try to re- member too much or our purpose is thwarted thereby. A few of the major college acquisi- tions to be forgotten are: 1. All factual material as presented in University courses. A few garbled ideas may be retained for the sake of conversation. 2. All college acquaintances. If these are completely forgotten, a penny saved is then truly a penny earned. Also, this way you can keep all borrowed shirts and ties. 3. All incidents which took place in some back room. Too many people will try to remember this for you any- way. 4. All gambling. Why cry over spilt milk? 5. All advice other than that accom- panied by a check. 6. (May be filled in by reader.) We must think for ourselves, and the recalling of facts about the subjunctive mode of an ancient language will cause the sands of time to do no more than get between our toes. And so upon grad- uation, we shall toast our college days. ' Lest We Remember.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 241 THE JAYHAWKER Volume XLVII Spring lumber No. 4 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 review of campus trends and opinions. Time marches on! Easter is here, and soon we will have commencement, then a prolonged vacation. The Jay- haicker is attempting to give you a com- plete chronicle of the year ' s events. The opening story of this issue, entitled The March of Time, brings us up to date in the news of the campus. This story was written by Max Moxely, for- mer managing editor of the University Daily Kansan. and exposer-deluxe. One of the more interesting articles to appear in this issue of the magazine concerns the adventures of Prof. E. H. Taylor during his many scientific ex- peditions into the wilds of the Philip- pines and Borneo. Dr. Taylor, who is well known among the pre-medics as instructor in comparative anatomy, has had some interesting contacts with the natives of these two tropical islands. Alfred Ames, a well known Jayhawker correspondent is the author of the article. The sports department this issue car- ries a summary of the latter half of the basketball season, and pictures of the lettermen from this year ' s team. Also a review of the swimming season is made by Dean Moorhead, a newcomer to the Jay-hawker staff, and who writes very well. This issue carries the Rosedale medi- cal school section. In this section we have pictures of the graduating class, several fraternity pages, and two pages devoted to the nurses at the hospital. The credit for the success of this section is chiefly due to John A. Dillon, pres- ident of this year ' s graduating class, whose untiring work made it possible. Fred Waring, director of the coun- try ' s finest stage and radio band, selected the junior class beauties. It has been the plan of the Jayhawker to vary the layout of the beauty pages from issue to issue. The art department of the Burger-Baird Engraving Company has come to our aid and are largely re- sponsible for the attractive niake-up of the section. It is a difficult problem to make up four entirely different and equally beautiful sections of this kind in one year, and the engravers have aided a great deal with their talents and ideas. Iowa State receives her share of the publicity in this issue. Barbara Apple, a talented Cyclone co-ed, has contrib- uted her writing ability to the Ja - hawker in the form of an article en- titled, ' Science with Pr actice from Iowa State. Pictures of the Iowa State campus supplied to us by the Bomb. Cyclone yearbook, are by far the best we have received this year. The social fraternities, and a few pro- fessional and honorary groups grace our organization pages this issue. As a prelude to the fraternity section, John Chandler has written an interesting article entitled, ' Rooms for Boys. In this story. Chandler points out the merits and demerits of the fraternity system as it is handled on the Kansas campus, and points out a few suggestions for the bet- terment of the brotherhood at K. U. Humor has been slighted this time, because of the necessity of including many more organization pages this issue than in the past. However, Jim Donahue has drawn two full page cartoons that will be entertaining to the readers. In one. he carries on the adventures of our dumb friend. Clem Eubanks. The other includes his own campus personalities section. Phil Space, our rival to Sour Oul Blowers and On the Shin Hollo- way, comes through with some choice gossip written in his own amusing style. We again offer our campus clothes columns to those of the student body who might be wealthy enough to even consider a new Easter outfit. Him and Her. our two fashion experts, present the latest in styles, and call your atten- tion to those students who wear the cor- rect dress. Our Princeton correspondent has informed us as to the attire of his associates at ' America ' s best dressed university. Esquire has supplied us with some mats that help dress up the men ' s column. The social wheel continues to revolve and gives us a good impression of such fine parties as the men ' s and women ' s Pan-Hellenic parties, the Junior Prom, and a few fraternity and sorority gatherings. The staff now must settle down to give the members of the class of 1935 a real commencement issue: one that they can refer to in year ' s to come and re- ceive untold memories of the four best years of their lives.

Oread this spring echoing the rum- blings and grumblings of national poli- tical leaders in their recent flare-ups over the New Deal. Dissatisfied with the state of things as they were, student leaders pounced upon campus organ- izations and institutions in wholesale fashion, in some cases with sufficient reason, and in others, just to be criti- cising. A Beta, a D. U., a Kayhawk, and two independents got their heads together, and low, a new political party was born a party designed to guard the interests of the individual, and to pro- mote liberal thought and action. ' Sagacious (Pachacamac) Metzler, maker of pithy statements to Kansan reporter , commented at great length on the new party, using the terms camou- flage and chameleon to great effect. 1 Peg (Frances Perkins) Sherwood, also well known for statements to the press, got together with her W.S.G.A. council, Dean Husband, and Professor ( proportional representation I Maddox and perfected a preferential voting system to put the B on combines in the spring election. The results of the election, as they appeared in the Kan- san, resembled one of Sports Authority Bill ' s six column box scores. Those elected to office were: Betty Cox. presi- dent: Judy Jencks. vice-president; Mary Louise Beltz, secretary: Ruth Learned, treasurer; and Betty Tholen. point sys- tem manager. Whether or not the system broke up the combines no one seems to know: those within the combines refuse to talk, and those outside aren ' t suf- ficiently informed to make a statement. The Kansan added a student pub- lisher to its staff in the person of Joe Doctor, the K. U. boy with the Uni- versity of California ideas. Joe ' s big job is to see that managing editor ( How ah yuh all I Harper gives Boss ( P.S.G.L. I Brown and Kingfish Myk- land. of the other part, equal breaks on front page political stories. Minor sports enthusiasts and campus clowns, including punster Elbel. came into their own with the inauguration of the annual Intramural Carnival an evening of fun and frolic designed to climax the I niversity ' s extensive intra- mural program. The award for the or- ganization winning the most points in the carnival events went to Delta Tau Delta, and the award for the best stunts to Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Nu. Carnival manager Abe Lincoln ( Hurry- up I Curry ' s girl friend from Topeka presented the trophies. A side-splitting burlesque of the Ted Shawn dancers by the Sigma Nu gentlemen, a fan dance by a trio of shamless Delta Tau ' s. and a program booklet as thick as a Sears Roebuck catalogue were the features of the evening. That the carnival was a success, it was generally agreed the question seems to be, who profited most on the printing of the programs. THE KANSAS RELAYS COMMITTEE AI.LEN AND WELLHAUSEN TANGLE ON THE COf RT Now that Cunningham has outrun everyone in the East except Mrs. Roose- velt, the New York sports wr iters have dropped their thread-bare epithets.

Friends of Glenn were amused to see him pose for an Associated Press photo with Sally ( Fan and Bubble I Rand in a New York night club. Jayhawker-photographer D ' Ambra would give his mustache, and his No. 2 Brownie to boot, for a shot like that. Students in the department of jour- nalism were surprised to read in the exchange papers from other universi- ties that Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the department of English had been granted a leave of absence. For some reason the Kansan. official student publication of the University, didn ' t care to print the story until papers throughout the country, including the Kansas City Times, had broadcast it from coast to coast. ' A convocation of revolutionary Reds. was the phrase used by the Tonganoxie Mirror in referring to the list of League of Industrial Democracy 244 THE JAYHAWKER speakers who appeared before Lawrence and University audiences this spring. The Tonganoxie editor seemed to be- lieve that because several of the speak- ers were included in The Red Net- work, and The Blue Book of Soviet Ringleaders, that the Reds were liter- ally running riot at the University. Al- lowing people to discuss seditious and treasonable ideas as a freedom of speech is one thing, and making our Kansas schools and University a rallying point of sedition is another, asserted the editor. Dr. James Naismith, professor of physical education, the man who de- signed basketball for a group of Y.M.C.A. boys who had tired of playing ping-pong, and Doctor Allen, para- mount instructor in the game, were fea- tured on a Kellog breakfast food broadcast over a nation-wide hook-up. It being Kansas Night, Ruth Etting, accompanied by Red Nichols and his band, sang the Alma Ma ter and I ' m a Jayhawk. A popular tune, Lost in a Fog was dedicated to Coach Allen. Director H. C. Taylor and Walt (Rosewater) Lapham toured south- ern Kansas with the Men ' s Glee Club early in the term, taking with them Dancer Joe Dunkle and Bill (Mae West) Bracke. According to reports, the boys behaved like gentlemen and were a credit to the University. They should indeed be given some considera- tion for listening to Bracke ' s imperson- ations three times a day. On March 3 the University was host to a hundred or more high school boys and girls who were here for the annual slate debate tournament. The parking space around Frazer Hall where the de- bates were held was crowded with auto- THE START OF THE 440-YARD DASH IN THE Dl ' AL MEET WITH THE AGGIES mobiles bearing license plates from all parts of the stale. The more foreward of the boy debaters began early on the morning of the first day to make ac- quaintances with the more alluring fem- inine contestants, and before the day was half gone many of them had taken the girls for a tour of the campus in the supervisor ' s car. Several pairs were seen mooning and mewing in the var- ious Oread cafes the girls with cokes and the boys with sundaes. i Many students and faculty members ' ! were glad, upon hearing of the death of Richard (De Lawd) Harrison, thal ) it was their privilege to hear him in one of his last performances. De Lawd had appeared twice before K. U. au- diences with the Green Pastures troupe. Bandmaster Wiley chartered two buses and took his boys (20 musicians and 40 horn carriers) on a six-day tour ENGINEERS PRESENT THEIR QUEEN TO HOBNAIL HOP CROWD through Kansas and Oklahoma during the week of March 13. While in Wichita the band boys were the guests of alumni at the Palms, Wichita ' s Most Beautiful Ballroom. Professor Wiley is at work on the First National Band ' I ' estival to be held at the University, May 9, 10, and 11. The great band- masters of the world are being brought to Lawrence to judge the contest and to direct the 700-piece mass band.

Hundreds of Kansas high school musicians and college bandsmen from other states are expected to attend. The Kansas Player ' s Mid-Winter of- fering, Yankee Crusade written by Prof. Allen (Cigar) Crafton was well received by University audiences dur- ing its three-day run beginning Feb- ruary 11. A cast of twenty-six students and faculty members appeared in the production which portrayed life in the Kansas territory at the time of the Goril- la warfare. With the sacking of towns and the ruthless plundering of farm homes, the Jayhawker state finally at- tained the astera through an awful lot of aspera. Several fraternities and sororities abandoned Hell Week this Spring; others simply changed the name and called it Education Week, feeling that a less shocking name might lessen the horror of the event. Be it Hell Week or Education Week, several Beta pledges were caught in a North Lawrence junk yard making off with an old rusty loco- UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 245 motive or something and were arraigned before the local J. P. They were re- leased upon promising never, never to do it again. Something new in disci- plinary instruments appeared about this time. A Lawrence shoe shop put on the market a leather, non-breakable, double-duty fraternity paddle. Karl Krueger, director of the Kansas City Philharmonic, and his group of eighty musicians visited the campus on February 20. The Hill was alive with Lawrence children during the afternoon who had come to hear the special con- cert for young people. The evening concert was a treat for the University students, many of whom had never heard a symphony orchestra before. Imogene (Jerry I Gaut, Alpha Chi Omega and senior in the School of Fine Arts, was selected Engineer Beauty Queen by a vote of the men in Mar- vin Hall. Jerry was presented at the Hob Nail Hop, annual engineering shin- dig, by Chevey ( Summerf ield I White. As president of the Engineering School Council, White presented Miss Gaut with a miniature slip-stick in what was said to be one of the most brief and straight to the point speeches of pre- sentation on record. Through the efforts of Tau Sigma and the Men ' s Student Council. Ted Shawn and his group of men dancers were obtained as an extra attraction on the Concert Course. The former member of the famous Dennis-Shawn combination and his troup portrayed through the medium of the dance all- THE KAPPA MINSTRELS manner of characters, including a French sailor, a Spanish cavalier.

The audience was amused when, after a round of ap- plause, dancer Shawn inquired, just as conductor Krueger had done a few nights before, Do you really want an enchore? Evidently K. U. audiences are not convincing with their clapping. Combining the entertaining qualities of a quick-change artist with the im- pressive warmth of a seasoned actor. V. L. Granville, celebrated English im- personator, afforded one of the most delightful evenings of entertainment of the vear. All students of the elementarv literature courses. Numbers 10 and 11, were pleased with his interpretations of dear old Mrs. Mallaprop and John Falstaff. Unfortunately, for such per- formers, the auditorium makes a much better basketball court than a theater. Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson (Mr. and Mrs. Robertson I were heard in recital in the University Audi- torium on March 4. Jayhawker music lovers were thrilled with the perfect teamwork displayed by the artists. In addition to several numbers by Mozart. Brahms, and Mendelssohn, the pianists played two compositions dedicated to them by the composers Lennox Berkeley and Arnold Bax. The concert was closed by a colorful arrangement of the Blue Danube Waltz adapted for two pianos by Abram Chasins. Short wave radio station WGYAB operated by the members of the newly formed Radio Club, went on the air the last of February on a wave length of eight meters. The station operates daily and is active in relaying mes- sages to stations which other transmit- ters cannot reach directly. Shiller Shore, brother of Chet and Bertha Shore of the Augusta Gazette. is doing chalk-plate cartoons for the Kansan editorial page. During the dust storm, which incidentally Shore be- lieved was caused by Joe Holloway dragging his feet.

THE BAND LEAVES ON ITS ANNUAL TOUR 246 THE JAYHAWKKR Life in the tropical jungles DR. E. H. TAYLOR IMAGINE leaving in a couple of months for three miles up with a pint of oxygen. Professor E. H. Taylor has done the practical equivalent of this. Leaving the communal atmosphere of a K. U. fraternity house, where one is never safe from raids for neckties, he put away his brand new diploma and embarked for the Philippine Is- lands. Not long after leaving Mount Cread he found himself at his new post in the heart of Mindanao. Inst ead of having two or three fellows hanging around his room when he wanted to work, he had to journey three days to reach his nearest white neighbor. Some change! Dr. Taylor, whom an ardent desire for travel had lead to a remote corner of the earth, was an assistant to the Governor of the Province of Agusan. Agusan extends inland from the north shore of Mindanao to the heart of the island. Taylor was stationed far in to- wards the southern boundary of the province at an isolated government out- post. Here he had no steady contact with any other member of his race. Ut- terly alone in the Manobo country, in the dense forest of the fertile Agusan valley, he had the difficult task of keep- ing peace among the native tribes. It was no entirely pleasant situation in which Dr. Taylor found himself. The year before he had corns up the Agusan River to his isolated post, an American and eight guards had been killed only twenty miles away from what was to be his place of residence. On a little clearing by the river side was a school for the sons of the native chiefs. Taylor had charge of this school, which formally taught the boys rudi- mentary letters and gardening, and in- BY ALFRED C. AMES formally taught the future chiefs to get along with each other. The boys came from tribes unfriendly to each other, and rather despised their young instruc- tor because he confessed that he had never killed anyone. Not only did the pupils, some of whom had two heads to their credit, demand delicate and tactful handling, but also their parents were a constant threat. If one of the lads should die while at school the boy ' s father would take it for granted that the supervisor ' s head was a forfeit. Tay- lor was denied possession of a gun, since many a native who would other- wise not think of such a thing would not at all mind murdering a white man for his gun. The inexperienced Kansan had to rely solely on his wits and common sense, and this he did most successfully. The translation of a primsr into the Manobo dialect was Dr. Taylor ' s first significant work in writing. Oppressed by loneliness he turned to collecting amphibians and lizards in his free time. Handicapped by having no gun, he yet gained great satisfaction in the pursuit of his hobby, as the river banks and forests teemed with objects of interest. Dr. Taylor dates his especial interest in amphibians and reptiles from this time. ' Politics penetrated even to inner Agusan, and Taylor, after two years in the interior, was dismissed for in- efficiercy. The disapproval of the retir- ing official who relieved Taylor of his post served as a strong recommendation, and Taylor received a much better posi- tion as provincial supervisor of schools E. H. Taylor, K. U ' s explorer- professor has had some hair-raising experiences in the jungles of the Philippine Islands and Borneo on the island of Negros. He soon left Negros to go to Manila as chief of fisheries. As chief of fisheries Taylor had the interesting duties of exploring and mak- PHILIPPINO LAD PRACTICES WITH HIS BOW AND ARROW ONE OF TWO HUNDRED NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED BY DR. TAYLOR ing collections. In his official capacity he crossed the seas, rivers, and lakes of the Philippines from one extreme to the other. The two thousand islands of the group are distributed over an area almost as large as that of Great Britian. Having cruised into countless bays and threaded numberless rivers, Dr. Taylor can confidently assert that not more than three other men have travelled more in the Philippines than he. Exotic tropical scenery and a wealth of land and marine life were accessible to Tay- lor, who profited richly from his unique opportunities. The bewildering medley of Dr. Tay- lor ' s experiences is utterly inconceiv- able to us land-locked Kansans. One UNIVERSITY Of KANSAS 247 incident may serve as an indication of the novel places Taylor has been. At four in the morning his party was ap- proaching the coast of British North Borneo at Darvel Bay, opposite the Sulu Islands. In the early morning silence of a scene like those described by Joseph Conrad broke a gibbon chorus. In the trees along the shore the awakening monkeys greeted day and the strange men with a welcome foreign to the ex- perience of nearly every civilized man. While in Borneo, Dr. Taylor went on an elephant hunt. He got no closer to the wild elephants than tracks not a day old, which is yet rather close. From this expedition he returned with forty lizards, no elephants, and a mouse dear! The adventurous naturalist, on leave of absence from his office, spent the winter of 1918-191 9 in Si- beria as a civilian relief worker in a typhus epidemic. He worked at Omsk, fifty miles east of the scene of warfare between the Bolshevists and the retreat- ing Czarist supporters. The winter was bitter cold, forty below being nothing unusual, with sixty-two below as the record. Face greased against the cold, Taylor rushed about taking typhus- smitten refugees ' from their wretched dugouts to the hospital. The epidemic was terrible, and mortality was extreme- ly high. Many of the workers contracted the fatal fever, but Dr. Taylor had no attack of the disease. At the end of the winter, when the Reds were overrun- ning Omsk, he had returned to Manila. In 1920, Dr. Taylor resigned his post at Manila, and returned to Lawrence for a time. He was granted his master ' s de- gree in that year. Returning to the Is- lands, he conducted independent expe- ditions. He served as head of the de- partment of Zoology at the University of the Philippines in 1923. Back again at K. U., he completed work for his Ph. D. degree in 1926. Since 1926 he has been a member of the faculty of the department of zoology here. ' Dr. Taylor has not ceased his investi- gations in the field. In the summers he goes to the Southwest, working along the Mexican border or in old Mexico itself. Last summer he was collecting along the Gulf of California. He is ex- pecting to go again to Mexico this com- ing summer. At the present time he is studying some Kansas fossils, and has discovered three new frogs and two new salamanders in recent weeks. Dr. Taylor ' s extensive work has yielded rich results for science. In his special Held of reptiles, mammals, and amphibians, he has described and named more than a hundred species new to science. He has discovered approxi- mately an equal number of new species in other fields. The titles of his shorter scientific writings number forty. Dr. Taylor has four major works on Philip- pine life: Snakes of the Philippines, ' Amphibia and Turtles of the Philip- pine Islands, Lizards of the Philip- pine Islands, and Philippine Land _ Mammals. A recent work not yet pub- lished is Evolution of a Cosmopolitan Group of Lizards. It was in Mindanao that Taylor ex- perienced the biggest thrill of his career as a collector. On a tract of land just being cleared, he found twelve new species in the three groups of reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. This streak of rare good fortune was never equal- led. The United States is noted as a coun- try of great variety. So also are the Philippines. From the bustling metro- politan atmosphere of the great city of Manila to the homes of the head- hunters rudely thatched shelters perched twenty and thirty feet high in big jungle trees, is a great range. Dr. Taylor knows the Islands in all their phases and in all their moods. They ' re building skyscrapers in Luzon, and try- ing to get the natives to come out of the trees in Mindanao. A land of com- plexes, anywhere off the pavements the Philippines offer opportunity to the scientific investigator. The Orient is in Dr. Taylor ' s blood. To him the East and through long familiarity, the Philippines especially holds the proverbial charm. The life of the zoological explorer appears to him the fullest possible no ruts, no boredom, but unending excitement. Dr. Taylor knows no fear, only caution. Armed with an unwaning enthusiasm and a level-headed courage, he wel- comes and enjoys al! opportunities for new experiences and discoveries. A TYPICAL JUNGLE FAMILY Jane Heffner Sally Jane Martin Beulah Self Ruth Bord ner Helen Louise Brooks Caroline Brink Kathryn Cassidy Olive Adele Krebiel Ruth Magerkurth Catherine Penner Dorothy Ann Martin Dorothy Fry Nancy Calhoun Lois Woods Josephine English THE JAYHAWKER Fred Waring collegiana ' s favorite The director of one of America ' s most popular bands selects the junior beauties BY CLARENCE H. STEELE A POPULAR musician and orchestra leader, Fred Waring is known to students in colleges and universities throughout the country. His radio broadcasts are regularly heard on every FRED WARING collegiate radio, and so we feel that he has been appropriately chosen as judge in our junior beauty contest. His inter- est is primarily in the college student, and his willingness to act in this posi- tion is significant of his desire to serve collegiana. And this interest in college life shown so distinctly by Fred Waring is not sur- prising when we appreciate his past life. His home town is Tyrone, Pennsyl- vania, and it was there that he received the only formal musical education of his career, which consisted of three year ' s study on the violin. He belonged to the glee club and to its leader he feels deeply appreciative for his early understanding of musical phrasing. His parents are very fine singers and have sung much in churches, giving Fred the deep rooted love for hymns which he expresses in countless theatre and radio performances. Waring attended Penn State College, a school which was founded by his great grandfather. After attempting for three years to gain entrance into the college glee club, he organized a band called the Pep Boys in 1919. This band became the nucleus for Warin ' s famous Pennsylvanians which now have developed into one of the outstanding broadcasting units on the Columbia chain. The orchestra has grown until one entire floor of the W. M. C. A. Building in New York can barely hold the executive headquarters, which are made up of a musical library, rehearsal studio, press department, and booking office. Fred Waring ' s type of leadership is strangely new to American music, par- ticularly in concert work, which has been dominated by musicians of Eur- opean origin. Probably his most dis- tinctive music is the glee club arrange- ment of many popular, religious, and classical numbers. He is a combination of showman, musician, and business man, requiring his vocalists and chorus to memorize their lyrics so they can watch every movement of his conduct- ing. Waring is a driving worker and has been known to rehearse one num- ber for hours, giving his chorus ar- rangements the originality and perfec- tion which is so well known to all radio listeners. When referring to stage appearances or broadcasts which he conceives or directs, Waring always gives most of the credit for the successful appearance to the orchestra and glee club, seldom mentioning himself. He firmly believes that teamwork is absolutely necessary in all the work which the Pennsylvan- ians do. To make a selection that would please all the Jayhawker readers he would need all the teamwork the Pennsylvan- ians could put forth. But, as a rule, the more a student can disagree with the judge, the more he enjoys the beauty selections. With this in mind we offer the beauty queens as selected by Fred Waring. The Jayhawker staff feels that he has better than usual qualifications for a beauty judge. His past experience and his present contacts with college life have given him an unequaled op- portunity to meet and size up the dif- ferent types of college beauties. His selections are published with a confi- dence that they will be accepted by a majority of the student body.

ALLEN Coach BIG SIX sport prophecies have de- manded constant revision since the beginning of the 1934 season. First, Ne- braska led the way by abdication of its traditional pigskin throne, then the bas- ketball season proved Kansas the height of current fashion when the Jayhawk relinquished its claim on a fifth con- secutive title in favor of the Iowa State Cyclones. Captained by Dick Wells, third year Kansas nosed out of big six title veteran, the 1935 edition of the Red and Blue goal shooters had a difficult and freakish schedule to fulfill. The first eight games were played on the home court, and the last eight on for- eign courts. At midseason the Allenmen had an impressive record of seven vic- tories with but one defeat. Even the gloomiest had to admit that Kansas had a good chance at retaining the championship. Those three first games on the home court showed the Jayhawkers in championship form. First the Aggies were vanquished 43-37, then in perhaps the best played game of the home sea- son, Iowa State, later to be crowned champion, was beaten severely by a 35-18 score. Paced by Ebling, the Red and Blue net swishers were given credit for a surprise victory, but their fine ball handling was typical of a cham- pionship team. In the last home game, Gordon Gray led the attack against a stubborn Nebraska team in making good seven out of eight attempts at the bas- ket, to assist in a 32-21 Kansas victory. A second defeat came to the Kan- sans when the Iowa State basketeers took the Jayhawk in tow with a 32-20 defeat on the Ames court. Hopes were revived, however, in the Aggie series at Manhattan when, on February 22 and 23, the Allenmen accounted for successive victories. Ray Ebling contri- buted 27 points in the 39-33 and 36-30 games to become high scorer for the season. ' Championship hopes were dispelled in a mass of flying Jayhawk feathers when the vicious Missouri Tiger twice DICK WELLS Honorary Captain trounced the Kansans on March 1 and 2. The games were hard fought and in both cases a narrow margin was enough for a Missouri victory, 23-21 and 21-18. Then before the Kansans engaged in another game, the lowans slipped into first place and gained the title by de- feating the Aggies at Ames. In the last series of the season, the Jayhawk basketeers, no longer able to reach the leader, settled themselves se- curely in second place by registering a double victory over the Sooners (40-31, (Continued on page 312) THE FLAG RAISING CEREMONY ELLWYN DEES ENTERTAINS WITH HIS SHOT UNIVERSITY OF KAN 7 SAS 255 AL WELLHAL ' SEN PAUL ROGERS RAY EBLING GORDON GRAY WILMER SHAFFER MILTON ALLEN RAY NOBLE FRANCIS KAPPELMAN BOB OYLER 256 THE JAYHAWKER AN ARTICLE DEALING WITH THE FRATERNITY PROBLEM ON THE K. U. CAMPUS ROOMS FOR BOYS BY JOHN CHANDLER WITH the possible exception of in- tercollegiate athletics, no feature of college life has aroused so much discussion in recent years as the Greek letter organizations. Educators, stu- dents, rushees, and parents have formed opinions about fraternities, each opin- ion being moulded by the peculiar re- lationship that the individual bears toward the organizations. College fra- ternities have drawn a considerable amount of criticism from one faction, and on the other hand, friends of the Greeks have risen valiantly to their de- fense. It should not be inferred that the problem is one of recent origin. On the contrary it dates from the founding of the first American fraternity. The se- crecy and mystery surrounding the early brotherhoods provoked animosity and suspicion among the faculties and the uninitiated. But from the time when the first fraternities at Union fought suc- cessfully for existence, and John Quincy Adams made public the secrets of Phi Beta Kappa to prove the inherent worth of that organization, the fraternity sys- tem has spread and become an accepted institution in American college life. So much so, that at the present time fra- ternities are barred from only one ma- jor institution of learning in this coun- try. Opponents of the system have di- rected various criticisms toward the lodges. These include extravagance in living, snobbishness, poor scholarship, (Continued on page 310) M- UNIVERSITY OK KANSAS 257 tw A W |L ri w Fourth Ron-: EDQUIST. PAYNE, WELLS. TILFORD. HAZEN. WILLEFORD.

He started his law practice in Ottawa following his graduation from law school, and is still practicing there, being the senior member of the law firm, Harris and Kelsey. Mr. Harris served in the state senate from 1930 until 1934. He is a past president of the K. U. alumni association, and has al- ways been active in alumni work. He was appointed to the Board of Regents by Governor Reed in 1930. He served as chief investigator for the state of Kansas during the recent bond scandal. STAUFFER, member of the Board of Regents from Arkansas City was appointed to the board by Governor Clyde Reed in 1928 and re- appointed in 1932 by Governor Lan- don. Mr. Stauffer, who is publisher of the Arkansas City Traveler and five other papers in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri, attended the University of Missouri in 1912 and 1913. Before coming to K. U. he worked on the Emporia Gazette under William Allen White. After leaving the Univer- sity, he secured a position on the staff of the Kansas City Star as a reporter. Wanting a paper of his own he started a weekly at Peabody, Kansas. Mr. Stauffer took over the Traveler in 1924 after a few years in the oil business. Besides being a member of the Board of Regents he is president of the Kan- sas Associated Press Editorial Asso- ciation. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS The social wheel 275 BY THE SPOKESMAN The winter formal season reaches its climax with the Pan-Hellenic parties and the junior prom ... THE second semester social program got a head start on the academic end of the schedule by about three days Men ' s Pan-Hellenic chose the next night to throw what we consider one of the best parties of the year. The win- dows were covered by large representa- tions of the various fraternity pins, and despite the fact that the Beta ' s spelled their own name wrong, the effect was very pleasing. Corbin Hall entertained with a house dance the same evening. Steak fries and similar outings are DANCERS ENJOY THE MEN S PAN-HELLENIC PARTY with the mid-semester varsity, February 4, bringing the socially inclined back a day early. Reviving an old tradition, the boys from Marvin Hall sponsored the Hobnail Hop, February 16. The Union was adorned with the badges of the various engineering fraternities, and a combination of the Hill ' s musical or- ganizations performed creditably. In keeping with the prevailing fashion, the engineers elected Jerry Gaut. Alpha Chi, queen of the Hop, and presented her with a miniature slide rule as a memento of the occasion. The next week-end, while many of the lodges were initiating, the Pi. K. A. ' s danced at the Eldridge. The following Friday, the Delta Tau ' s held forth at the Lawrence Country Club, with a varsity holding the center of attraction on Saturday night. March 8 the Intra- mural Shuffle following the Intramural Carnival, proved to be popular; so pop- ular, indeed, that life and limb were imperiled by the crowd. well under way, and will, of course, grow increasingly popular as the spring wears on. Several organizations have al- ready entertained with such functions. We might add that the mid-weeks are as crowded as usual. Came the Ides of March, but unlike Caesar who sought diversion in the Sen- ate, the student body moved into the Union Building for the Junior Prom. The feminine element on the campus tapped the paternal coffers to purchase the latest in evening wear for the oc- casion, and the boys turned out to a man in starched bosoms, and with high hopes that they ' d have a good enough time to forget the refined torture of standup collars. As couples came up the main stairs to the ballroom they found them- selves caught in a jam caused by some obstruction at the door. Those at the back of the line resignedly started fumbling for their identification cards or driver ' s licenses but on reaching the door found that the cause of all the ex- citement was Billy Utermohlen. presi- dent of the junior class, heading a re- ceiving line of faculty and student dig- nitaries. The boys, taking the prevailing mete- orological conditions into consideration, and sensing the fact that we all were tired of breathing South Dakota dirt, carried out the oasis theme in decorat- ing and tastefully sprinkled the floor with palm trees. Somehow they had things worked out so that there was enough room for everyone to get around without being tramped on: just how they did it was a mystery.

It is the highest honor that the University be- stows on members of the junior class, and qualifications for membership are based on outstanding leadership and strength of character. The purpose of the organization is to originate and sponsor movements for the best inter- ests of the junior class, and also to create a feeling of fellowship among the students of the University. The Owl Society was founded at the University of Kansas in February of 1914, and its members have always taken an active part in University life.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 277 John Jayhawk, Jr. BY BOB HARRIMAN Dealing with the officers and the activities of the junior class WILLIAM UTEEMOHLEN President IT HAS been well said, that you can I lead a horse to water, but why try- to lead the junior class? Ling Po. This homely bit of Chinese philoso- phy ( ? I seems to have a typical applica- tion in our own University. Each spring the junior class selects a group of out- standing members to comprise its board of officers, and with a fare-thee well and a God-bless-you, starts them off on their official careers. Sad to say. however, they soon find that their duties and their functions are greatly limited. As one member of this group woefully remarked. When it comes to being a mere figure-head, the King of England is badly overworked compared to me! Nevertheless, those responsibilities with which these officers are intrusted are highly important to the successful functioning of the class as a whole. For that reason, it is imperative that the offi- cers should be selected from men and women of laudable character and of ex- ceptional ability. The selection of the four men offi- cers of the class is included in that tumultuous hubbub and bedlam which is sometimes flatteringly referred to as a council election. After the excite- ment has subsided, and the dirt and mud which was thrown back and forth has been more or less cleaned up: then the junior class can gaze with pride upon the set of officers which the suc- cessful political party has obligingly selected for it. The two women officers of the class are chosen with considerably more de- corum, and somewhat less partiality, than their male colleagues. The vice- president and the secretary of the class are chosen by the women in their spring X .S.G.A. election. In spite of the earn- est attempts on the part of some sorori- ties to influence the vote, the election of the women officers is characterized by a comparatively lesser amount of po- litical tomfoolery than is present at the election of their brother officers. Despite the questionable system of elections, the junior class officers are composed of capable, prominent mem- bers of the class, and are a group of which the class and the University can well be proud. The various officers are as follows: president, William P. Uter- mohlen, Jr.: vice-president. Winifred Koenig: secretary, Kathleen Teagar- den: treasurer. Hermon Hauck: dance managers. Nelson Morgan and Harold Love. The saying goes. Business before pleasure. but in the case of the jun- ior class officers, oddly enough, their primary business is concerned with pleasure. Perhaps the most important responsibility with which they are en- trusted is that of the successful plan- ning and supervision of the Junior Prom. K hen the first faint breath of spring is in the air, and sighing swains are inspired to murmur sweet endearments into the eager ears of their fair lady- loves : then the junior class feels that the time is opportune for its annual brawl, the Junior Prom. The dance man- agers are assisted by the other members of the board of officers in worrying over the details of this event. HAROLD LOVE NELSON MORGAN Another of the important functions of the junior class is the publication of the Jayhawker. the official magazine- yearbook of the Lniversity. The editor- in-chief and the business manager are chosen from the junior class. The honorary society for the junior men is the Owl Society. It is com- posed of the outstanding men of the junior class chosen on the basis of out- standing leadership and strength of character. At present there is no corres- ponding organization for the women members of the class. KATHLEEN TEAGARDEN Secretary HERMAN HAUK Treanrrr WINIFRED KOENIG Virt-Prttident 278 THE JAYHAWKEB Life at Bell Memoria BY VERNON FRENCH A FINE limousine, a palatial home, and plenty of money that ' s the impression most people have of doctors of today. Perhaps some of them do have more money than they know what to do with, but what is more likely is that most doctors of today are trying to keep the wolf from the door. Think how the young medical grad- uate of this year will feel when he sets out in his professional life! The first years for a doctor have always been hard, but today they are even more dif- ficult people go without medical ad- vice as long as possible, and when they do seek it, they are slow in paying for it if they ever do. The advice given by one of the doc- tors at the last session of one of his classes at Bell Memorial Hospital strikes home. Don ' t think, said he, that a fine car and an office full of white furnishings and the smell of ether will make you a good doctor .... Keep in mind the fact that a satisfied patient who belongs to the Ladies ' Aid Society gives you the best type of advertising you can ever get. Hard as things may appear to these new graduates, they will have at least one thing back of them the fact that they have been graduated from one of the best medical schools in the United States one whose graduates have been assets to society. It is a tradition that the doctor from Bell Memorial Hospital is worthy of his school. The School of Medicine has been in existence since 1899. At that time, the building now used by the journalism department was known as Medical Hall. However, a gift of some tracts of land at Rosedale, Kansas, to the Uni- versity by Dr . Simeon B. Bell, in mem- ory of his wife, Eleanor Taylor Bell, made possible the establishment of the University branch at Rosedale, and new buildings erected on this land were oc- cupied by the School of Medicine in January, 1907. The school steadily grew, and in 1920, through joint contributions from alumni and friends, as well as appro- priations by the city of Kansas City, Kansas, and the state, a new site in Rosedale was selected. The first unit of a new hospital was completed in 1924 on this site. Two additional units, a nurses ' home and a ward building were added in 1928 and 1929, at a cost of $300,000. The latest unit to be added will be a children ' s ward, for which a friend of the University has given $60,000. Life at Bell Memorial Hospital is vastly different from what it is on Mt. Oread. Every student has a more serious air, for he really must work to DEAN H. R. WAHL keep up his standing in the school. Too many applications for admission to the school have to be turned down, and the student who keeps his work on a high level is the one who is permitted to enter the school. The School of Nursing is a depart- ment in the School of Medicine. The class of 1935 has twenty members, ten of whom finished their course in Feb- ruary and March; Margaret Bolton, Elda Hartung and Thelma Lewich en- tered with six months time credit and will complete their work in April; the remainder of the class will finish the course in September and October. The nursing department offers two types of courses. The first is in com- bination with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and consists of three years work in the college at Lawrence and two years at the Bell Memorial Hospital. This course leads to the Bach- elor of Science degree in Nursing. The other course consists of three years of theory and practice at the Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City. Upon the completion of this work the student receives the certificate of nurs- ing from the University. The nursing faculty consists of one associate professor, four instructors and ten assistant instructors. Approximately eight hundred hours of theory are given at Kansas City, and during the first four months the class work is quite heavy. Students are not put on actual duty until they are able to carry out nursing procedures skill- fully and intelligently. During the first four months the stu- dents are observed very carefully to determine their fitness for the work they have chosen. Not every girl is adapted for nursing because, in order to be a successful nurse, one must have a real and vital interest in people and the ability to get along with all kinds and types of human beings. Besides having this social sense the nurse must be in- telligent, she must have a sound body and a well adjusted mental outlook on life; she must be physically and men- tally poised. The nursing field, like many another, is overcrowded with poor and mediocre material, but there is still room at the top for the type of young woman de- scribed above. The nurses live in Hinch Hall, a modern fire-resistant building six stories high situated north of the Ad- ministration Building and connected to it by a corridor. In Hinch Hall are found the class rooms and laboratories, the dining, living and sleeping rooms for the student nurses and some of the faculty members. Student nurses work hard, but they also play. Teas, dances and parties are frequent occasions in Hinch Hall, and if you think our doors are opened only for the gentler sex ask Mother Leitch; she will enlighten you.

Is it some giant athlete? Is it the Pep Queen? No, it ' s Knute, the night watchman. Knute sees all, knows all and tells nothing. He is everybody ' s friend. Campus Lab, a popular course at Iowa State, is taught for the most part on lovely warm spring nights and Knute is often one who listens in on a lecture. What does he hear? Are these two persons discussing campus politics? I wish I knew more about this busi- ness, ' she ventures. Whenever there ' s an election, I ' m a little sur- prised that it was all decided before- hand. Of course I always go vote, hop- ing that this time it will be different. And this is truly the way it stands for several years the candidates selected by the All-College party were railroaded through. This party is composed of stu- dents without fraternity affiliations about three-fourths of the college. But after two years in which their suprem- acy in campus politics seemed to be slipping, the Representative party, com- posed of fraternity and sorority mem- bers, swept back into power last spring. 1934 with the force of a South Dakota dust storm, and in an election in which more than 1.000 votes were cast, placed a man in each of the twelve class of- fices. The coveted senior class presi- dency, which for the two preceding years had eluded the grasp of the old time Representative power, came defin- itely back to that group. The All-Col- lege party ranked second in number of votes cast and the Independents, con- sidered to be the strongest last year since their organization, polled the least number of votes of any of the three parties, ranking third in competition for each of the twelve class positions.

Agriculture and each division must do its share to make Veishea a success. The strong feeling of cooperation which exists on the campus is a great factor in the success of this undertaking. Suede jackets and corduroy trousers. ski suits and boots cold gloomy days. Ginghams and organdies, tieless shirts and rolled-up sleeves blistering, cloudless days. Fall, winter or spring. Iowa State College students display a wholesome democratic spirit in attitudes of friendship, dress, activities, social life. With very few exceptions, there is no marked distinction between groups. No longer is home economics looked upon with quizzical skepticism. No longer does the freshman wear the dis- tinguishing red prep cap. Iowa State prides itself in its democratic spirit. Yet rifts do arise. The college is still chuckling at a recent edict of the Inter- fraternity Council, a group whose de- cisions are often looked upon as any- thing but serious: Sorority-Ward ex- changes are frowned upon by members of the Council. Suggest that the Public Relations Committee take up the matter with the director of social life. Just why non-fraternity men should be ban- ned from an hour ' s dancing with soror- ity women was not explained by the Council. 288 THE JAYHAWKER THE BIG SIX CHAMPIONS IN ACTION The poor soul who just received the air from the girl of his dreams mourn- fully serenaded her in the black of night with this pathetic song: Would you like me any better If I walked like a Sigma Nu? If I talked like a Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Or swore like the Phi Delts do? If I dressed like a dear old Phi Psi, Put on airs like a Sigma Chi; Or if I were a perfect lover, Like a Beta Theta Pi? Besides these six fraternities, there are 29 others on the Iowa State Campus: Acacia, Adelante, Alpha Chi Rho, Al- pha Chi Sigma, Alpha ' Gamma Rho, Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Tau Omega, American Commons Club, Chi Phi, Delta Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Farm House, Kap- pa Sigma, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kap- pa, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Pi, Tau Kappa Ep- silon, Theta Chi, Theta Delta Chi, Theta Nu Epsilon and Theta Xi. A 20-year project for Iowa State Greek men was begun this year. Pres. R. M. Hughes appointed three fraternity prexies to assist the faculty-fraternity committee in preparing this plan. The purpose of the fraternity plan is to draw up a set of objectives to be at- tained within the next 20 years. It is the wish of Dr. Hughes that through such a comprehensive study of frater- nity problems as this 20-year plan will require, material will be available to place the Iow a State fraternity set-up with the best in the country. Among problems treated in the report will be the audit systems, rushing sys- tems, interfraternity councils, restric- tion of numbers, ration of number of groups to numbers of students in col- lege, expansion, initiation requirements, scholarship, and attitudes to be taken by the administration toward fraterni- ties, and by the fraternities toward the administration. Sororities and fraternities still main- tain the worn-out custom of exchanges. Every Friday night, when no good ex- cuse is forthcoming, an entire fraterni- ty group ventures over to a sorority house and dances to radio music be- tween 7 and 8 o ' clock. Or the women may do the calling. A much more pop- ular method has been tried out the last few years dinner exchanges. One-half of each house goes to the other house for dinner. These may one day succeed the less popular dance exchanges. Five-pound parties are ever popular at Iowa State College. Each issue of the College paper, the Student, almost always describes one or more of these engagement parties. Iowa State College has often been called a Matrimonial Bureau, and, as one of the professors in sociology puts it, There has never been, to my knowledge, a single divorce resulting from an Iowa State couple ' s romance and marriage. Speaks well for the bureau! Ten sororities are kept busy supply- ing the 35 fraternities with dates. But other things besides dates interest these Greek women. Scholarship is a high aim on this campus, and each sorority dili- gently strives to obtain or to keep the scholarship cup which is offered to the sorority with the highest house average. Women ' s intramural sports find favor on the campus. Baseball, volley ball, basketball, deck tennis there are champions of all. The 10 sororities include: Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Kappa, and Zeta Tau Alpha. The phrases red flag and red light district are not synonymous at Ames. For on winter days when the new Lake Laverne is too soft or rough for skating, up goes the red flag, warn- ing students to keep off. Ice skating is perhaps the most popular outdoor sport among students here. And not only on the lake do they skate. During one week when sidewalks and streets were so icy, LAKE LAVERNE IN THE WINTER FRATERNITY ROW UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS many students skated to school with and without skates. Hurrying to get to his 8 o ' clock class one professor, in his rush, failed to notice the red flag on the lake. So he started across, going all of a yard before he found out, to his sor- row, that the red flag was out and that it wasn ' t kidding. He went in to his knees, and was forced to go home be- fore proceeding to class. The wary prof put the following announcement on the bulletin board of the Engineering Hal! : If the students who saw me fall in Lake Laverne this morning will see me at once, I am sure we can reach a mu- tually satisfactory understanding. The purpose of this meeting is to make out a case for absentmindedness instead of poor judgment. N. B.! ! If the man with the camera got a good picture I am ready to pay spot cash for print and negative. The Iowa State Student, smelling news, issued the following statement: The Student will pay the man with the camera 10 percent more for the picture than Professor Willis ' top price. Directly across from the lake stands the stately white Memorial Union. Iowa State ' s playhouse a college club of which every student is a member. Most of the social life of the campus is centered in the Union. All college dances, formal dances, carnivals, lec- tures Great Hall accommodates all. Since President Hughes has given his sanction to girls ' smoking in the Cy- clone Cellar, it has become the favorite rendezvous between classes. Gold Star Hall, the north entrance to the build- ing, contains the names of all Iowa State men who fell during the World War. Directly below this memorial hall, in the basement of the Union, is a cigarette infested Bomb Office where size 11 shoes hide from view the face of the editor or business manager of Iowa State ' s yearbook. ' Tap-dancing, one-act plays, musical groups all sorts of student talent is displayed each week of winter quarter in the Campus Varieties programs at the Union. The Campus Varieties, in its comparatively short existence as a stu- dent vaudeville effort, has without a doubt become the form of entertainment which consistently draws a larger crowd, week after week, than any other single attraction on the campus. Its at- tendance speaks for its popularity. The number of students who take part in the presentation of the programs during the year is quite large. Many appear on the Campus Varieties programs who find no other opportunities to take part in such activities and a great many HOMECOMING DECORATIONS BETWEEN CLASSES take part in the programs who would be very reluctant to make such fools of themselves on any other campus pro- gram. The spirit of the arieties makes it one which bases appeal on good fel- lowship and fun rather than acting of a professional caliber. Cyclone Twisters regular hurricanes occur once a week in Great Hall. What could be a more appropriate name for these tag dances between four and six o ' clock? With Iowa State ' s geo- metric proportion of four to one men on the campus, the Twisters assume about the same ratio. There are no wall- flowers but what a stag line! The man who is lucky enough to finally get a dance with the favored one suggests that they go for a stroll and strolling is by no means an unp opular pastime at Iowa State. Shaded walks and cindered paths. beautiful white limestone buildings and curving drives are in part responsi- ble for the title of America ' s most beautiful campus, which is so often given to it. Engineering avenue is now just another alley. A new drive, paved with concrete, runs north and south past the west side of the row of engi- neering shops and the new Federal Agri- cultural Wastes Laboratory. Students who do not go to summer school little realize that among the ever- greens just west of the Armory is lo- cated a city Tent City, the campus camp for some of the summer school students. Last summer the camping ground was filled to capacity, with 18 families occupying tent homes and en- joying modern conveniences. Summer is a hot time to study especially in RIDING IS A POPULAR PASTIME CYCLONE WRESTLERS PERFORM tents. Most students prefer the air- cooled Library, which not only sup- plies books to read in a comfortable place, but also exhibits pieces of art. Large mural paintings, depicting scenes related to the fundamental work of the various divisions of the college, were placed on the walls of the Library last October. These murals were painted by 24 Iowa artists working under the di- rection of Grant Wood. Iowa ' s most recent outstanding painter. A large ma- jority of students are still undecided as to whether they really like the murals or not at least it gave employment to the Iowa artists. Melodies which peal forth each morning, noon and evening from the stately campanile win the approval of students as the favorite musical pro- gram to which they are exposed.

V. minor sports. Under the capable l eadership and training of Coach Herbert C. All- phin, the K. U. swimming team has recently completed a swimming season which, in view of the team ' s accom- plishments, has been one of the most successful in Kansas history. The god which supplies athletes to coaches brought to Coach Allphin a number of expert swimmers, but failed to supply him with a single diver. This omission made it necessary for Kan- sas to forfeit in advance all of its diving events and placed upon Kansas swim- mers the burden of entering their meets with the advance knowledge that their opponents were favored with a ten point lead. Despite this handicap Coach All- phin was able to send forth a team which won two of its four dual meets and which succeeded in placing fourth in a record breaking Big Six meet. ' The Kansas swimmers, led by Cap- tain Clyde Nichols, opened the season against Kansas State at Manhattan, Feb- ruary 12. Kansas State, smarting under the sting of the many defeats inflicted by previous Kansas teams, came out on the long end of a 35 to 48 score. Four days later however, Kansas enjoyed the thrill of victory by beating Washburn in a dual meet by the score of 48 to 35. This meet saw the fall of two records. Captain Nichols set a new record for the 440-yard dash, while Harlow Jennings shattered the old record for the 150- yard back stroke. February 23. Kansas State again beat Kansas, this time in the Kansas pool with a score of 38 to 45. Kansas closed the dual meet season with another vic- tory over Washburn with a score of 44 to 40. The Big Six meet, held at the Uni- versity of Nebraska on March 8 and 9. was featured by the fall of every con- ference record, save one. In the midst of the record-breaking activities, Kansas was able, for the third consecutive year, to place fourth. Nichols won third in the 440-yard dash. Jennings pla ced fourth in the 150-yard backstroke, and Raport was fourth in the 220-yard breast-stroke. The medley relay team was third in a fast race which saw it overtake and leave behind a struggling Kansas State team. The uniform ability of the Kansas team is shown by the fact that every member of the team scored, either in conference or in non-conference com- petition. Clyde Nichols was high-point man with 33 points while Harlow Jen- nings was second with 27 points. Coach Allphin has recommended Capt. Clyde Nichols, Howard E. Miller. Harold M. Raport. and Harlan Jennings for varsity letters. Prospects for next year ' s team are unusually good. Kansas will be able to put out a veteran team which, strength- ened by the members of this year ' s freshman squad, will be a very potential contender for the Big Six crown. The loss of Jennings. RaporL Miller, and Hedges will be felt, but the fine per- formance of David Cochrane. Hal How- ard and Ralph Pusey indicates that these men will be able both to fill the gaps left by the graduating members of the team and to reinforce the team in general. These last three, all mem- bers of this year ' s freshman squad, have been recommended for numerals on the basis of their work. A rapidly increasing interest in swimming among Big Six schools is bringing about an enlargement of next year ' s schedule. Dual meets with Ne- braska and Iowa State, in addition to those with Kansas State and Washburn. are in prospect. The success of this year ' s Big Six meet has insured the con- tinuance of this aquatic tournament, and if the broken records of this year may be taken as indicators, next year looms as a banner swimming year for both Kansas and the Big Six in general.

C. Rifle Team tryouts. These men spent several weeks on the rifle range, located under Fowler Shops, endeavor- ing to improve their marksmanship. At the end of the semester, eighteen men were selected from this group for their ability to shoot consistently better than the average. The selection of the team was made by Lieutenant W. I. Brady, C. A. C. officer in charge, Sergeant Charles E. Engle. coach, and Edgar Leigh, captain of the team. Rifle competition with other schools began February 11, at which time the K. U. marksmen engaged seven other schools in telegraphic matches. These matches were fired during the week end- ing February 16. Each week for the remainder of the season the team competed in from four to eight telegraphic matches with about thirty-five different colleges located in various states all over the country and with one unit in Hawaii. The rifle season here, which general- ly lasts for six weeks, extended over the period from February 11 to March 23 this year. During the last week the Men ' s Rifle Team expects to meet the Women ' s Rifle Team in a shoulder to shoulder match. The losing team will entertain the winners with a picnic. 1 During the past few years, the rifle team activities here have been some- what curtailed due to the lack of funds. Shoulder to shoulder matches have been very rare, and such events as participa- tion in the regional small bore-matches at Kemper Military School, have been entirely dropped from the schedule. Two shoulder to shoulder matches are being arranged this year, one with a regular Army team at Fort Leaven- worth, and one with K. S. C. HIGH MEN IN THE YEAR ' S SHOOTING Ross L. Calhoun Chevey S.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 295 BY WINIFRED KOENIG Women ' s rifle club THE women sharpshooters are in- structed on the rifle range of Fowler Shops under the direct supervision of the R. O. T. C. division, Lieutenant W. I. Brady being the officer in charge and Sergeant E. Engle the coach. In the fall all girls whether they have received any previous instruction or not are wel- come to participate in the regular shoot- ing practices and tryout. In February, the thirty highest marksmen, who are selected by elimination contests in open competition, are allowed to compete for five weeks, and through a final elimin- ating process the ten girls with the high- est scores make up the Women ' s Rifle Team. The women chosen on the Rifle Squad each year automatically become members of the club. Women who represent the Rifle Squad and the Varsity Team are award- ed points in W. A. A. Sweaters are awarded each year to girls showing ex- cellence in shooting, good sportsman- ship on the range, general value to the club, and numbers of years on the team; gold pins are presented to those not receiving sweaters, but who have finished the season firing every score. The squad competed in postal matches with ' twenty colleges and univ ersities, namely: Indiana Univer- sity, Carnegie Tech., University of Maryland, University of South Dakota, University of California, University of Nebraska, Kansas State College, Uni- versity of Wichita, Louisiana State Uni- versity, Massachusetts State College, University of Michigan, University of Missouri, University of Illinois, Ripon College, Pennsylvania State College, Cornell University, University of Ken- tucky, and Northwestern. It has been a traditional custom for the Men ' s Rifle Team and the Girls Rifle Team to compete in a shoulder to shoulder match which is held at the close of the regular season. The losing team stands the expenses of a spring picnic however, no matter what the outcome of the match may be. the girls always do the actual cooking, and they do it with a smile!

THE JAYHAWKER THROUGH a program which at- tempts to add some of the finer things of life to the gay, less serious routine of college activities, many young women are finding broadened in- terests and lasting friendships in the Y. W. C. A. Various committees and interest groups meet regularly throughout the year to share in the enjoyment of good music and poetry, to listen to worth- while speakers, or to discuss problems of national and international interest. Y. W. C. A. assemblies are held twice each month during the fall semester. At the beginning of the school year the association has an ' important part in helping new young women adjust themselves to university life, by enter- taining with a series of teas, parties, and picnics, and by sponsoring, with W. S. G. A. the traditional Lantern Parade. It is one of the organizations which co- operate in the publication of the K- Book. New women find friends in their Campus Sisters, and the Co-Ed clubs are organized to provide good times for everyone. For the past two years the Y. W. C. A. has carried out a program of rec- reation and handiwork for junior high school girls who lack adequate oppor- tunities for wholesome extra-curricular activities. In this work the sociology de- partment has cooperated. Friendly attitudes between races have been created in the Inter-racial group, where women of all races meet on an equal basis to enjoy varied entertain- ment and to discuss racial problems. Among other things, the association presents annually a colorful Oriental Bazaar. Each spring a Girl Reserve training course is held for senior women who intend to enter the teaching pro- fession. Working with the Y. M. C. A., the women ' s organization brings to the campus speakers of ability and vision who discuss the challenging questions of today at noon luncheon forums, con- vocations and evening meetings. Participation in these activities de- velops leadership among the young wo- men of the University, and aids in the formation of well-informed and well- integrated personalities.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 297 The K Book ROSEMARY FISCHER Editor-in-Chief FRANK HEAD LEY Businrx Manager T HE K BOOK is the official handbook of the University of Kansas. The registrar has approved it as the official guide and aid to registration and enrollment. For forty-six years it has been the gazetteer of rules, regulations, and events for students and faculty. Short historical sketches tell something of the development of the University and its equipment. A calendar announces the important events of the year. The names and addresses of the officers of all student organizations are made available through this hand refer- ence. This book, published originally by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., has become the product of the Christian Associations cooperating with the Men ' s Student Council, the W. S. G. A., and the Owl Society. Important material has been added each year until it has become a book of one hundred and thirty pages. This enterprise is conducted on a non-profit basis and all deficits are absorbed by the Y. X . C. A. and Y. M. C. A. The members of the staff work without pay to make this most useful little book. Thus, the Freshman Bible comes to you with a hint of what the Spirit of K. U. can do in cooperation and service. In the past it has been found impossible to provide each student with a K BOOK. This year, however, every student will have an opportunity to purchase this book for cost price, which will be approximately fifteen cents. Freshmen and new stu- dents will receive the book free as in the past. 298 The Kansas Engineer THE JAYHAWKEE BY JOHN MILLER WITH the appearance of the March issue this year, the Kansas En- gineer commemorates its twentieth an- niversary. Volume one, number one, appeared in the spring of 1915, pub- lished by the Associated Societies of the University with W. Arthur Stacey as the first editor. Professor F. N. Raymond was the faculty adviser, a position which he holds at the present time. In its early life the magazine was pub- lished annually, printed in bulletin form; but in the fall of 1922 it became a member of the Engineering College Magazines Associated and assumed its present size and form of publication. The members of the staff who consti- tute the managing board of the Kansas Engineer are elected annually by the Student Council of the School of Engi- neering upon the recommendation of the retiring members of the board. The managing editor and general editor choose the members of the editorial staff according to merits, determined by try-outs, of the candidates who are interested in the magazine as an activity. Faculty supervision of student publica- tions is often helpful and more often necessary. Throughout the life of the Kansas Engineer, those serving in an advisory position have made it their purpose never to interfere with the edi- torial policy of the magazine, but to offer constructive criticism and sound advice to the members of the staff. At present, steps are being taken to obtain non-technical credit for work done on the Kansas Engineer. Such credit would not only prove to be an added incen- tive for those trying out for positions on the staff, but would in some meas- ure, be remuneration for those who de- vote their time and energy to the pub- lication. Although the Kansas Engineer is stu- dent managed and student edited, it is not merely an activity in which a few of the more literary minded devote a good share of their time. It fills a real need in the education of the undergrad- uate engineer. The aim of the staff is to provide the members of the School of Engineering with information con- cerning the work done in their own school, as well as scientific develop- ments throughout the professional world. Student support of the magazine is voluntary, and this is one of the most remarkable aspects of its existence. As our engineering school is comparatively small, every man must do his part, and by means of special procedure during enrollment, the number of subscriptions has risen until at the present, eighty- two percent of the engineering student body subscribes to the magazine. In addition to the feature stories the magazine includes student articles, short reports of progress in the profes- sional field, and a series of book re- views. The organization news gives a fairly complete resume of events in the honorary and professional fraternities and the departmental societies. The gos- sip section and the news of alumni claim their share of attention, and the humor page, Slide Rule Slips, pro- vides a change from the general tech- nical make-up of the magazine. With the first issue published by the present staff, the rating given to our magazine by the Engineering College Magazines Associated was raised from C to A, and each succeeding issue dur- ing the year has maintained the high standard established by the first. From the cover to the final sheet of advertising its pages are filled with in- teresting reading for those who have occasion to scan its pages. It has been through the cooperation of faculty and students, supplemented by the sincerity of those directly connected with its publication, that the Kansas Engineer has risen from a humble beginning to a position which ranks high among simi- lar engineering college magazines.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 299 V BY HARRY LANE The graduate magazine WHEN the 1935 senior class walks down the long hill to their last formal act at K. U., will they lose all contact with the University? No. they will not because of the efforts of the Alumni Association and their Graduate Magazine. This group exists for the pur- pose of connecting them intimately with University activities so long as they keep acquainted with the Graduate Magazine. As early as 1883 there was a definite group known as the Alumni Associa- tion which met once a year to discuss University problems and talk over old times. Finally in 1902 this group de- cided to have a magazine. They got to- gether and put out a very small, plain issue called the Graduate Magazine. To Professor Olin Templin, ' 86, goes the credit for the foundation of the new magazine and Professor R. D. O ' Leary. ' 93, of the department of English was its first editor. The first issue dealt mainly with the inauguration of ex- Chancellor Strong and also contained other material such as personal items, K. U. sports, and other interesting fea- ture articles. This has be en the plan followed by the magazine ever since that time, namely, to play up certain prominent K. U. graduates and faculty members, and also to give prominence to hundreds of personal items sent in by the graduates themselves. The real interests of the former stu- dents lie in the personal columns. These small notes bring back a world of memories to members of the same class. The report that a classmate is succeeding in business, two members of a love affair knot the tie that binds, a former classmate returns to the cam- pus, always bring back a lot of feeling for the old school to those who are un- able to do such things. It makes them feel that their college career really amounted to something: makes them feel proud to know that they were ac- quainted with such fine fellows. The greatest task facing the staff of the Graduate Magazine is the collecting, editing, and checking of all the differ- ent news items they receive. For the pur- pose of checking these items for mis- takes a file of 26.000 students is kept. The Graduate Magazine claims that there is a K. U. man in almost every conceivable type of occupation. Its pur- pose is to collect news concerning those men and the work they are doing. With such a vast graduate list to please the task which confronts the publication is one which demands a lot of time and personal attention. They meet the problem of giving items that will interest everyone by playing up some different type of feature in each of the nine issues. This main idea is also the idea for the illustration on the front cover page. Around this main feature article they build the numerous other feature articles and notices that go to make up the content of the magazine. The publication is also used as a me- dium to advance a campaign or project and it plays a very capable role in this respect. For example they play a very noticable part in the campaign for funds to finish the Memorial Union building. To collect the news the magazine re- lies on four main sources. These sources are the alumni questionnaire which calls for news about all Jayhawk graduates, personal interviews with all visitors. FRED ELLSWORTH Editor-in-Chief University bulletins, and through infor- mation obtained from traveling mem- bers of the faculty. The magazine is now under the ca- pable management of Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary and editor of the Graduate Magazine. It employs on its staff Catherine Penner. advertising man- ager and staff writer: Harriette G. Hut- ton, who checks all news with the files: Susan Hudson, assistant alumni secre- tary: and Annie Green, stenographer. The Graduate Magazine acts for the most part as the official organ of the Alumni Association. Due to this fact it sponsors the election of the alumni offi- cers and directors. The names of the candidates chosen by the nominating committee are distributed amongst the alumni along with their programs and qualifications for office. The price of the publication is S3.00 a year or 0.25 for a single issue. The Graduate Magazine of the Uni- versity of Kansas does not claim to be the best magazine of its type but it does lay claim to the fact that it puts out one of the best magazines of this sort con- sidering the small amount of time and monev allotted to it. 300 THE JAYHAWKEE Fourth Row: DUEKER, HENLEY, KRAUSS, ORMISTON, SUTTER, WARD, STARCKE, NEYER, BARTLETT, SHUEY.

U. audiences PROFESSOR Allen Crafton, head of the dramatics department, has at last written a play to conform with all the student requests concerning productions by the Kansas players and the dramatic club. Each time there has been some sort of complaint registered against the attempts of the dramatics department to produce a play that will please most of the student audience. Not much, but just enough to make them feel that they could do a lot better. In his play, Yankee Crusade, Professor Crafton brings out a familiar background, a good homely type of humor, and a cer- tain amount of good dialogue in an at- tempt to please the audience. As a re- sult of his hard work this play ' was better received than any other play this year. The play deals with the actions of a group of settlers who came to Kansas territory in the fifties to make their homes and help build up a new state. It does not, however, try to present his- torical characters but tries to incorpor- ate in the ideas and actions of the fic- titious characters certain highlights in the lives of the famous people in the territory at that time. Due to a great amount of time put in on research Pro- fessor Crafton has successfully accom- plished what he attempted to do. For this production he and his staff de- serve a lot of credit. Certain parts of the play are very interesting but others are consider- ably slowed up due to heavy dialogue. Kansas in 1850 must have been a very windy place as far as speeches were concerned. These slow parts come too often and therefore slow up the prog- ress of the play to a noticeable extent. The greatest asset of the play lies in its characters. Professor Crafton gives the best performance as Waddy Ran- som, an old settler who is continually coming into the action in some comical way. His homely philosophy and sense of humor make him one of the most interesting characters seen this year. Jessica Crafton, as Carrie Riley, also gives a very convincing performance. (Continued on page 316) .; UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 303 Hold that line BY HARRY LANE The annual musical comedy hampered by a weak plot, was well liked PAUL HAMMONS AND DOROTHY ANN MARTIN As, OWAI, the fortune teller walked on a dimly lighted stage and seated his portly figure he was greeted with a muffled voice, Tally Ho. With- out changing his expression Owai walked to the footlight, stretched his arm toward the audience, and solemnly returned this unofficial greeting, Tally Ho! This small bit of ad lib was prob- ably the most outstanding part of the musical comedy. The comedy itself gave the audience nothing t o remember. The production lacked a suitable story for the music. With such a weak plot there was no background on which to build good humor, so from the three things which a musical comedy should possess, this year ' s edition is sadly lacking in two of them. The redeeming factor of the whole show was the music. Such tunes as Too Good to Be True, by Betty Ruth Smith, Only You, by Barabara Bramwell. and Big Dog by Red Blackburn put it over in spite of other weaknesses. These tunes show real promise, and if given the right backing they should in- crease in popularity. Along with the ex- cellent music there were some very good specialty numbers such as dances by Betty Ruth Smith and Jack Richardson, and Mary Lou Harrison and Stanley Bernhardt. One of the best liked spe- cialties in the show was the number pre- sented by Anna Marie Tompkins with her dancing partner, Estella Emery. These two made a big hit with the crowds. In the rehearsals, the two leads. Paul Hammons as Allen Stuart, and Dorothy Ann Martin as Linda Fosdyke. didn ' t get along so well at times, but during the show they made a very good pair. Their singing voices fitted well together, and while they were acting their personalities seemed to click also. Bill Bracke, who played the part of Percy, a harrassed freshman, goes a long wav toward stealing the show with his silly vocabulary, and his popular impersonations of well known actresses playing a part in Romeo and Juliet. The impersonations may seem a bit old to some, but they are entertaining. Joe Dunkel and his chorus deserve a lot of credit this year for a number of very good dance routines. One of the best of these was ' ' Jungle Rhythm. The chorus which was silhouetted against a blue background did a weird looking ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPECIALTIES dance while Maxine Ripley sang the haunting strains of the song, Jungle Rhythm.

CORRESPONDENT Love in Conic Sections Love, dear friends, is always a conic section in books it is in a two-space, a trace of a tangible solid of reality. There are three kinds of love, and only three the hyperbolic, parabolic, and ellipti- cal. hen two souls, incompatible, are con- nected by merely imaginary lines we have the tragedy of great souls entangled in the meshes of quadric sur- face. Twice the major axis separates them. Try as they may, the two sections never meet. They stand forever, eyeing each other. but never mingling in a communion of soul. This is the hyperboloid of two sheets. Such a surface is not preferable to even the ignominy of the origin. Elliptic paraboloids are the ideal in love the inaccessible ideal. From the vertex they open out, their branches widening. They gain in majesty and fullness, becoming infinite, never terminating. This is the sort of love we dream about the love whose eccentricity is constant unity. Such love must be truly satisfying, containing infinite possibilities of sym- metry and volume. Most love is but a spheriod, an ellip- soid, if you will. It has a beginning and an end. We see love spring up, it rises. conies to the peak of the minor axis, and subsides, utterly confounded, into nothing. This is the love that brings the dull regret, the stupid wondering at our own folly the dumb amazement, tinged with mem- ories. Love such as this knows of no hyper- bolic bitterness; it can not dream of parabolic consum- mation. Love, dear friends, is always a conic section in books it is in a two space, a trace of a tangible solid of reality. There are three kinds of love, and only three the hyperbolic, parabolic, and ellipti- cal. ALFRED C. AMES.

AMES. 306 THE JAYHAWKEE Campus polylogia says BY PHIL SPACE EVIDENTLY the Big Six failed to furnish enough competition for Ray Ebling, the man who only missed once. He can be seen playing three en- tire leagues single-handed, and if Man- ary, Tance Burrow, and Helen Deere wouldn ' t be hard to get through for a fast one, then history no longer means anything. We know Ebling ' s good, but trying to guard that three would be as hard as stuffing hot butter down a wild- cat ' s throat with an ice pick. 1 In the manner of the inimitable and unhung Holloway, we ask the name of the cool-eyed and high-handed Theta who has been breaking standing Satur- day night dates for a lanky political gent whose nickname is Stark Love. And why- does said political gent quiver like a fresh-killed liver or a shot-beer hangover every time her name is men- tioned? The tops in cold hard silence was reached by Emma Jo Swaney and her wise cracking friend Jugs, Woods when the lady lost her voice recently. Poor Woods was so surprised that he lost his one opportunity to tell her what he has been trying to tell her; the man is speechless. All in all, they make as much noise as two dead oysters on a pillow. Fiji Guernsey ' s tally-ho expression that he so fondly believes is the cry of the dashing coachman swinging eight or ten horses down the village street in a cloud of dust, or whatever horses travel in a cloud of, isn ' t quite what it seems. The English have it that it is the view halloo on sighting the fox at a hunt. George uses it mostly when ad- dressing the skirted half; the feminine of fox is vixen; and there you are Guernsey going around saying, How- ya, vixen? The idea of limiting the number of stags at the varsities, is a good one, except that not enough allowance was made for the cunning of that very canny beastie who is always in the way of the new step that is going to lay ' em in the aisles. In order to make up for their reduced numbers they merely spread out to take up the same amount of room. The only apparent solution seems to be to employ a few of the higher- geared, smooth-running juggernauts like Gene Haughey or Norman Jacob- shagen to clip off a couple every trip down the length of the hall or would that be too rough even for the genus stagiensis? The Betas have taken such a drub- bing from Owlie Blowers that they have been heckled into going in for the larger life, in a spectacular way. It is said that Renick and Battenfeld fence on the roof, clad for better or worse in their unthinkables, and Steve Stotts uses the great American ball game as an excuse to gallop around the vacant lot in his shorts and a happy smile. It may be that they are merely trying to show Holloway that they have noth- ing to hide, and little to hide it under, but then that ' s a feather of a different colored horse. We are unable to predict the outcome of a strange amorous tangle just brought to our notice, but we ' ll pro- phecy freely that there will be a skull or two pay the price when it ' s all set- tled. Beau Brummel McElfresh of the Chi stables was at the Mill, Sunday with M. Nuzman and was exceedingly wroth because his unsuppressed desire stop- ped for a chat with Harry Lane. Lucy Hawk sat in a booth and laughed: she knew him when. Then we find that our old, sane-living friend Jack (Play-the- Field) Hasburgh, has so far forgotten blonde Betty McF. and brunette Jo H. and some six others and that he has been hawking it noticeably. Can it be that the Theta prexy is tiring of the Pi Phi depredations against the chap- ter men and sent out a one-girl expe- ditionary force with the stern command, Get your man, and bring Hasburgh along for luck? Has anyone ever seen Paul Trees without a big smile and six or seven girls hoping he ' ll turn it on them, or Cliff Dunseth at the same lodge when he wasn ' t dressed for anything the day might bring, or Katherine Cassidy when she wasn ' t in a hurry? What unnamed Phi Delt was well heckled by two mischievious Chi boys for an entire evening when he had a date with the beauteous Lyman? The idea of one young man burning when he loses out is well and good, and pro- vides much material for the columnist, but when two gents go into partnership on such a deal there is more than meets the eye. We suspect another design for living, inasmuch as the two young men are both roommates and friends since long-before-the-girl. At last Real Romance is among us! Grim Heartbreak has raised his silly head, and here we are, in the midst of drammer! The fair Theta McKeen has listened to the viperine blandishments of Bruce Baker, known man about town. (He smokes and ogles the gals down- town Saturday nights.) She has listened to them to such an extent that Bob Lay- ton, the darn near forgotten man, comes clear back to the U. to weep in his beer at Wiedemann ' s, replete with mem- ories of the days that were. Shed a tear, you happy ones, you may be the next; there ' s lots of beer. The fact that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good is all that keeps us from crying, Unfair, over what happened to Herbert Mueller, the genial and continental exchange scholar from Germany. An exceedingly blonde and rapacious Pi Phi, if you can ' t guess you probably wouldn ' t understand this any- way, told Herbert that he was her sup- pressed desire. The idiom was too much for him, but the tone upset him greatly. He went dashing around for two weeks trying to find out what it meant without being indiscrete. Some say he should have been spared the torment, but to our way of thinking that ' s where the ill wind comes in. UJflVERSITY OP KANSAS 307 VIRGIL BERGMAN WHO DIRECTED THE MUSICAL COMEDY ATAFOM NOR!

In the picture Roberta we saw one of the first models of the side vent trend in jackets, combined with the shirred or continental back. Harry Reitz of Delta Chi is wearing a distinctly differ- ent grey check sport model with side vents. However, the greatest innovation about this suit is the fact that it has raglan shoulders. The knitted cardigan sleeveless jacket that opens like a waistcoat is particular- ly recommended in small neutral colored patterns for campus and sports wear. Campus clothes Speaking of color though, the medal goes to Professor Howey. At your first opportunity, get a glimpse of his new sport coat, in the double breasted shirred back style. Aside from its ex- cellent fit, we know you ' ll be pleased at the sight of this true Tartan Plaid num- ber, carrying every color of the rain- bow, literally speaking. It ' s plenty snappy and as dressy as a page from Esquire. Gabardines, while by no means oust- ing worsteds from the picture in spring and summer clothes, will certainly keep pace with them at least, especially dur- ing the latter part of spring and this summer. Fred McCoy of Phi Delta Theta has a double breasted sport back model in a rich brown which is really nice. With the coat, he often wears a pair of tan medium checked slacks which make a swell combination. John Harris and Curt Patterson of Sigma Alpha Epsilon both are favoring gab- ardines. John ' s is a dark blue single breasted model, with bi-swing back. Pat- terson departs from the trend of solid color in gabardine, with a light brown, self check model, double breasted and yoke back. The very wide popularity of the so- called polo collar shirt has generated a number of new models, many of which were in evidence at the Sigma Chi beach party. The newest is a very loose- ly woven model called Dish Rag Polo. There are plain colors of white or blue, and many plaid and checked patterns much as the one shown. Some have a but-i ton opening at the neck, and ' others feature a Talon fastener. To prove that the conserva- tively dressy still are existent upon the campus we refer you to Ray Nichols, secretary to the chancellor, whose new double breasted number in a pleasant grey color cer- tainly carries out the idea. The addi- tion of a cash pocket lends distinction.

Ready -to -Wear Second Floor F emmine fashi ions BY HER V S FOR clothing perhaps we I are led oftener by the love of novelty and the regard for the opinions of men, in procuring it, than by a true utility. This quotation from Thoreau was written, of course, many years ago, but it applies to women ' s clothing perhaps more accurately today than it did then. The dress worn by the modern women for formal occasions, indeed carries out Thoreou ' s thought for how very in- adequate for a cold evening is a dress with no sleeves, no back, and low neck. Yet how very unattractive we would think a modern coed should she arrive at a formal dance in a heavy dark mus- lin outfit with long sleeves and high collar. ' No coed of the University of Kansas who attended either the Junior Prom or the Senior Cakewalk would be ap- proved of by Thoreau, but their beauty- he could not have overlooked. Mary Jayne Hoyland, Kappa neophyte, was a vision of loveliness at the Senior Cake- walk in a fluffy yellow organdie. But Betty Eidson, Theta freshman, was not to be outdone. She had on a brown or- gandie with a wide stripe of yellow around the hem and the collar, and yel- low flowers embroidered in the ma- terial. Jessamine Jackson. A. O. Pi. re- sembled a wonderful dream, at the Cake- walk, in a starched chiffon made of tiny blue checks. The sleeves were large, but drawn tightly at the elbows and wrists. A low square back finished a charming dress. It seems this column cannot be written without including Joan Jankow- sky. But then such stunning clothes can- not be overlooked. Joan wore to the Senior Cakewalk a formal that would make any lassie ' s eye turn green with envy a long black skirt and a blouse effect of turquoise blue. The blouse was accordian pleated. A long black moire cape completed the outfit. Prints still hold the popular place they obtained several years ago among the dress for evening. Kathryn Cassidy, Gamma Phi freshman, was spied recently in a print formal. Berdein Bastian. freshman at the Gower Place, also wore a print at the Senior Cakewalk. Lena Wyatt, A. D. Pi, wore an apple green formal at the Junior Prom. A small bunch of bril- liantly colored flowers were riding on the left shoulder. White is forever among the good colors. Lillian Sands, much written about Theta, was spotted not long ago wearing a white rough crepe, with a full long skirt. The bodice was very tight, and the neck was high in front. Virginia Hosford has proved that cotton formals are still being worn. At the Senior Cakewalk she was seen in a pink cotton pique dress. The coat of a matching material was of seven- eighth length, and was similar to the one worn by Irene Dunn in Roberta. The warm weather has brought to view many new spring suits. Mary- Catherine Bennett. Alpha Chi pledge, wears an apple green one. The skirt is green, white, and black plaid. The jacket is green with brown buttons and buckle. Mary Margaret Manary, gor- geous Pi Phi, owns a grey suit which is the most stunning we have yet seen. The coat is three quarter length, very full, and has grey sheared caracul around the collar and down to the hem of the coat. Ruth DeWees, freshman beauty queen and pledge of Alpha Chi. has a navy blue suit trimmed in stitched blue taffeta. And while mentioning suits we f eel that we should mention some of the more sporty ones. Berneita Brooks, dramatic Gamma Phi, wears a grey mannish cut one that is very smart. The coat is of a darker shade of grey than is the skirt. Jo Burrow, Theta, was seen on the campus recently- wearing a grey and blue tweed suit. The coat was three-quarter length, and the blouse worn was bright blue. And (Continued on page 313) 310 THE JAYHAWKER Rooms for boys (Continued from page 256) and an overemphasis on social activi- ties. Insofar as fraternities are able to refute these and similar charges they justify their existence, and to the ex- tent that they are true, the organiza- tions are either fundamentally at fault or are falling short of their standards. The effect of fraternity life on the scholarship of the members has been frequently questioned. Those whose dis- position toward the organizations is not particularly friendly have asserted more or less consistently that fraternity life is not conducive to high scholastic achievements. It is quite probable, it is true, that there are more Phi Beta Kap- pas among non-fraternity men, but the ranks of the Greeks are not entirely devoid of such. There are highs and lows to be found in both groups, and insofar as fraternity life is detrimental to the members ' scholastic standing, it should undoubtedly be changed. Back in the days when we were still on the gold standard the Greek breth- ren along with others in the more ma- ture walks of life fell into the error of living considerably beyond their means. Undoubtedly there was too much time and wealth thrown away on the pursuit of happiness in high powered (and high priced) sport roadsters. Social activity was over emphasized, and many lodges built beyond their capacity to pay. In the past few years paternal revenues have shrunk considerably in a majority of cases, and fraternity extravagance has fallen off correspondingly. To keep up payments on palatial farternity homes there has developed a tendency -to fill fraternity houses with too many boys and too few brothers. Some of the clubs have been forced to give up their homes, while others have waged a successful battle with the depression. Fraternities generally have curtailed unnecessary social activities and concentrated on the struggle for existence. Not even the warmest friends of the system can sincerely defend many of the pre-depression aspects of fraternity life, which were, however, in the last analy- sis, but a reflection of prevailing con- ditions. Should history repeat itself when the corner is rounded and pros- perity looms on the horizon, some kind of a change may be called for. If, how- ever, as leading educators have recently opined in press interviews, the rah rah phase of college life has passed from the picture, and fraternity life be- comes stabilized, there is no apparent reason for their existence being threat- ened. ' The fraternity gives its members splendid training in group living. The member learns as he can in few other situations how to respect the property and rights of others. The training re- ceived in coping with the problems of the organizations serves the members in good stead in solving problems in lar- ger groups in later life. The opportunity of meeting and living in close asso- ciation with the many different types to be found in most fraternities is an invaluable experience. While perfect fraternities will never be found, the experience of trying to maintain fraternity standards and tra- ditions and the resultant associations and friendships is well worth while. One of the strongest appeals of the fraternity is the feeling of the member that he is linked by a common bond to thousands he has never known, and never can know. The fraternity house, the badge, and the bond of friendship and common experience all serve to give the fratern- ity man a strong sentimental attachment to his college career. Fraternities have come to us as a heri- tage from a previous generation of col- lege students, and we shall very likely pass them on to another. The task of the present college generation, then, is to find a useful and definite place for the fraternity in college life, and to make the fraternity fit its place.

Arlie and his music makers surprised the doubters, however, by coming through with music that put the Prom ace high among the Hill ' s parties; those who came to throw stones stayed to dance. A week later at the Sigma Chi Masque Ball the boys and their dates frolicked on the beach of Ecke ' s. Dick Cisne ' s Orchestra was imported from Chicago for the occasion, and all who attended reported having a hilarious time. The same evening, the P. A. D. ' s entertained with a formal in the Union Building. On Saturday evening, the Women ' s Pan-Hellenic gave their an- nual party. The report is that the ratio of stags to girls was about five to one, and that the failure of some of the fair ones to return after intermission made it even larger. Saturday, March 30, the Delta Chi ' s staged a dance at the house, while the rest of the boys attended the varsity at the Union Building. The next Satur- day, the Delta Zeta ' s flung one at the house with another varsity running com- petition. The Prom officially closed the winter formal season. Tuxedoes can be re- turned to the mothballs for nine month ' s hibernation. By the time the next class party rolls round, white flan- nels wall have replaced the red variety. Lloyd Metzler is conniving with the senior dance managers to put on a party which will come up to the standard of the Prom, and throwing a dance which will be as generally popular as the jun- ior ' s effort will be a hard job for any class. For Best Quality BRICK ' S for TEMPTING SALADS and TASTY PASTRIES for Best Serfite (Continued from page 308) For the most part though, the strict sport types of suits will hold sway this spring and summer. In addition there will be an unusual number of combina- tions with odd slacks, ranging from those lighter than the jacket on down to oxford greys, both plain and with the new window pane checks which are very- popular. However, the recent develop- ments of line in design of the new sport jackets will obviate the possibilities of merely purchasing a pair of slacks for wear with last year ' s spring suit Perhaps the newest and most inter- esting feature of all spring trends is that being taken by shirts. No longer is the man with a dozen white shirts the really dressed up man. Color, figure and pattern are holding sway. Button downs are taking a fair share of lead in popularity, in stripes and checks, in both the smooth fabrics and the distinc- tively rougher cloths. Eyelets, compara- tively new last fall are coming out for a well merited share of the popularity. But above all, plenty of color is evi- denced and is a distinct aid in making up the proper dress ensemble. FLASH: News from the Princeton correspon- dent informs us that the most popular shoe for summer wear continues to be white, either in buckskin or the new washable calfskin. For sports wear, the white number with a crepe sole is a new and snappy offering which will be plenty popular. Hatless college youth, so to speak, are really going in for the light weight models now available. Wider brims and pastel shades, especially of the greens are smart. The stitched models are defi- nitely on the ' in and will carry through to fall in a continuation of the Tyrolean style. As spring really begins to get under way we ' re assured of seeing the smart- est and most colorful clothes upon the men of Kansas that have been seen here in some time. Next issue we should like to take our hats off to the best dressed man on the campus. In this we should like very much to have your coopera- tion. Leave your vote at the Jayhawker office. 312 THE JAYHAWKER Hold that line (Continued from page 303) and Ted North, and a solo by Jeanne Luther, who possesses the lowest pitched feminine voice on the campus. 1 The story opened in the New Deal Night Club, gathering place of the Uni- versity students in the evening. We had the first appearance of Percy, our fresh- man, who was taken in by Lila La Rae, a torch singer, played by Berneita Brooks. She learned that he is to in- herit $1,000,000. When she noticed how green he was she endeavoured to teach him a line. The scene continued with two vocal numbers by Miss Brooks and Red Blackburn, and closed with the arrest of Allen Stuart, charged with stealing a car. Stuart ' s arrest was brought about by a trick played on him by Jimmy Trent, portrayed by Charles Pipkin, who loved Allen ' s girl. The second scene, although full of tripe, was saved by Barbara Coil ' s dance. This scene was taken in the courtroom and showed Stuart trying to keep from getting arrested to avoid pub- licity. At this same time Miss Coll tried to get arrested in order to publicize her dance. She finally, in desperation, threw herself into Stuart ' s arms, and the scene closed with a reporter taking a picture of the two. The next scene was the best in the play as far as songs and dancing were con- cerned. Here the two lovers sang the two hit songs, Only You, and Lovely Eyes. The plot was carried to a finish in a time worn fashion. Stuart ' s strug- gle to keep his girl ' s love in the face of her father and his rival, Jimmy Trent, came out in the end with our hero win- ning in grand style. The whole company then sang the title song, Hold That Line, closing the show. Good music and dancing, weak plot, and very few good cracks tell the story of the 1935 edition of the musical com- edy. The music and specialty acts were good enough to put it over, however, so the comedy will probably go down in K. U. historv as a success. Kansas nosed out of big six title (Continued from page 254) 47-42) with Ebling averaging 20 points per game. After the season had ended, all the sports writers were unanimous in se- lecting Ray Ebling on the All-Big Six team. An even greater honor was ac- corded him when a poll of 60 coaches included him as forward on a mythical All-American basketball team for 1935. Dick Wells and Gordon Gray were men- tioned on some of the Big Six selections of All-Stars. Coach Phog Allen announced ten lettermen at the end of the court season. Wells and Gray received their third K. Ebling, Allen, Shaffer, Kap- pleman, and Oyler were recipients of their second letters, and K ' s went for the - first time to Rogers, Noble, and Wellhausen. It is encouraging to note that seven of these ten will be back for another try at the championship next year. For the first time in years, the Jay- liawk basketball team will be out next season to gain the title rather than to defend it. Ready Now!

' Crowds, including three and four thousand students, cheered on the players at all football and basketball games this year. The activity fee. which went into effect this year, was largely- responsible for the student representa- tion. George Veenker. who came to Iowa State three years ago as head football coach and later took over the additional job of directing the entire athletic pro- gram at Ames, practices the science he preaches. He does not believe it good business to try to build champions out of boys who have to be induced to play. With that philosophy of inter- collegiate sports Coach eenker seems ideal for Iowa State, where students are students first and play football, bas- ketball or baseball for the fun of the game. Before Yeenker came to Ames, the football team had apparently taken a lifetime lease on the cellar position in the Big Six. In a very short while the coach brought back college interest in football when he sent a real team out on the field. Of course Coach Louis Menze didn ' t do so badly this year turning out a Big Six championship team in basketball for the first time in the history of the school. Not for many a year will the record of Iowa State College judging teams be duplicated. The Dairy Products Judging Team placed first, eight points ahead of Ohio. This team has a record of five consecutive firsts, competing fourteen years with five to nineteen teams at the National. The Grain Judg- ing Team ranks first in the six-year rec- ord with three first places in the Kan- sas City Royal show. The Horticulture team holds the Missouri alley Cham- pionship cup won in 1933. The Live- stock team took first over a five-year period at the American Royal and the International, nine points ahead of their nearest competitor. The Poultry Judging Team took first at the National on a ten-year record. The Dairy Cattle Team won first at the National over twenty- two years. This unprecedented record in six fields explains why the world looks to Iowa State for agricultural spe- cialists. Feminine fashions (Continued from page 309 1 Mary Katherine Dorman has a bi-swing suit that is a knockout. It is made of brown and tan checked wool.

And we could not help noticing how many of the fairer sex at the Uni- versity are wearing their hair short. Curls are not as popular as they once were. Frances Allen. A. D. Pi and fresh- man beauty queen, has blond hair. which is cut very short. And so does Harriet Harrison. Alpha Gam. Both look charming. While we are on the subject. Mildred Mikesell. Chi Omega, w-ears short hair becomingly. Still curls look more feminine and perhaps more lovely. We cannot forget Mary Ix u Bagby. as we saw her recently, with her hair curled high on her head.

So much for this issue, but the com- ing Jayhawker will contain more spring clothes, which the season cannot help but brin . It ' s been WIEDEMANN ' S for a long, long time 314 THE JAYHAWKER Spring f ever An English poet one time said, And he was right we ' ve learned. That in the spring a young man ' s fancy To thoughts of love is turned. But K. U. boys for many years Have not held to this rule. They think the most these fair spring days On who s hall run the school. To Tennyson ' s observation We would this addition fix. In the spring a young man ' s fancy Turns to thoughts of politics. So two and twenty years ago A group of politicians Combined to form a party Which would strengthen their positions. By common consent they agreed On the things they ' d try to do. And for their name and emblem turned To the ancients of Peru. They chose the name Pachacamac From antique Inca lore, Their party by that name ' s been known For twenty years or more. Their emblem is Peruvian too They chose the rising sun. , Their candidates beneath this sign With great success have run. And naturally a group like this Would meet with opposition. The ones that Pachacamac left out Made up their own coalition. Their party chose a name also. They called their club Black Mask. But trying to beat Pachacamac Was a well-nigh hopeless task. And then they changed the party name To stop the rising sun. As Independents they still lost And Pachacamac still won. But not discouraged even then These boys refused to balk. Instead they changed their party name To Oread-Kayhawk. This thing had been no sooner done Than the 0. K. ' s turned the tide. They captured all the offices By an electoral landslide. But it has been just four years now Since this bunch scored a hit. This spring the Kayhawk club an- nounced That they were going to quit. The self-same group is with us still To beat the old regime. It looks as though they ' ve found a way To out-vote the machine. There ' s graft in counting votes they charge. Conventions cost too much. And all our money ' s being spent For Council keys and such. And every year they ' ve had a plan As part of their platform. In which they stoutly advocate Electoral reform. This year they got a new idea They stole F. D. R. ' s stuff. Regardless of how it works out There ' s power in their bluff. Like him they ' ve learned the alphabet And everyone they tell. The party that will put things right Is called PSGL. Not long since was the campus strewn With sheets of every hue. That told the baffled voters What the candidates could do. And each faction out-did itself To fool the common folks. They only aim in these campaigns To perpetrate a hoax. And even yet no one can tell The outcome of this fight. But things will run about the same Each Council meeting night. Graft and such to Pachacamac Are surely not confined. To things like that the other side Is equally inclined. And so each spring the boys wake up, The contest waxes warm. With speeches, bills, parades, and fights In true American form. It isn ' t such a mystery When one looks at K. U. Where older politicians learn The crazy things they do.

Jones Second Floor, Walnut OLIN TEMPLIN OLIN TEMPLIN Olin Templin. professor of logic. ethics, and esthetics at the University of Kansas, was born in Jay County. Ind., December 6. 1861. His family moved to Kansas when he was 13. For three years he worked in a printing office and later taught for two years in a country school. He entered the University in 1881. During his three year ' s stay as an undergraduate at K. U.. he did part time teaching work in the department of mathematics. He re- ceived his A. B. degree in 1886. his M. A. in 1889. In 1888. he went abroad. He spent a year studying in Gotingen and a year at the University of Berlin. He was in Oxford during the summer of 1889. He joined the K. U. faculty on his re- turn from Europe, and has taught here continuously, with the exception of 1918-1919. when he served as director of the school and college activities in connection with the food administration at Washington. He was assistant pro- fessor of mathematics from 1884-1890: associate professor of philosophy. 1890- 1893: dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences. 1903-1921 : professor of logic, ethics, and esthetics. 1921 to the present time. Mr. Templin was married to Lena Van Voorhis of Lawrence in 1886. and they have two daughters, both of whom are University graduates and both have married graduates of the University. Prof. Templin is greatly interested in the Summerfield scholars and serves as their faculty adviser. R. A. SCHWEGLER Raymond A. Schwegler, dean of the school of education, was born Decem- ber 4, 1874, in the Swiss Alps. His prep school training was received at Colgate Academy in New York, and his under- graduate days were spent at Brown Uni- versity. He received his A. B. from Brown in 1895. While a student there. Mr. Schwegler was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. During his last two years at Brown, he served as instructor in the Hebrew languages. He taught Latin and Greek for two years at Indian Univer- sity and was professor of Greek and education at Ottawa University from 1901 to 1907. He received his M ' . A. de- gree from Ottawa while he was a pro- fessor there. In 1907 he became associ- ate professor of education at the Uni- versity and received his professorship in that field in 1915. Professor Schwegler has not neglected broadening his education during these years of teaching. He received instruc- tion for five summers at the University of Chicago. During the year 1911-1912 he studied at the L niversity of Leipsig in Germany. He received a year ' s leave of absence from the University in 1921- 1922 and studied at Columbia Univer- sity. New York City. He was made dean of the school of education on the resignation of Dean R. A. Kent in 1923. Dean Schwegler has always been in- terested in the field of child psycho- pathology. He organized a children ' s clinic in 1914. the first to be organized in the middle west. Dean Schwegler is a favorite speaker, and has chosen public speaking as a means of expressing himself, rather than writing. Through speaking, he can always keep moving forward. I work for the future. he savs. R. A. SCHWEGLER 316 To K. U. Students. The Jayhawker takes this opportunity to recommend to Kansas University students that they patronize those firms which use the Jay- hawker as their advertising medium. Only quality merchandise and services are offered in the Jayhawker by its adver- tisers. The Jayhawker advertisers make possible an outstanding annual at K.

Every member of the cast seems to give a con- vincing performance in their respective parts. The story presents the bitter fight between the anti-slavery settlers in the Kansas territory and the pro-slavery people in Missouri. It deals with the des- perate fight put up the by Kansans and their gradual rise to supremacy over the Missourians. Professor Crafton planned the story so that it would present three things to the audiences. It attempts, first, to tell episodically a human dramatic story of a group of settlers who found them- selves in Kansas territory in the fif- ties ; second, to give emphasis to the motivating ideas and policies of the period; and third, to present non-his- torical characters with certain qualities and ideas of some of the well known pioneers.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THE JAYHAWKER Volume XLVII Commencement Number No. 5 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 review of campus trends and opinions. The 1935 Jayhawker is finished. All five issues have been printed and dis- tributed. We hope that you have enjoyed them. They are yours. They should be kept. The Jayhawker is the only com- plete account of the activities of the school year published by the Univer- sity. Your picture and your friends pic- tures have appeared in the book, and in a few years you will take out your copy of the yearbook, and many memories will come back. You will recall little incidents in your college career that will give you no end of enjoyment. The Jayhawker is not published to be read and discarded as js an ordinary maga- zine. It is still the annual of the Uni- versity of Kansas although it appears in periodical form. Our sincere hope is that the Jayhawker will never become just another college magazine. The feature of this commencement issue is, of course, the senior section. The representation this year is not so good as it was last year , which is some- what disappointing. The senior class space is one of the features of the Jay- hawker which tends to keep the publica- tion an annual. The magazine made a grave mistake when the publishers be- gan running individual class space for the first three classes. This tends to lessen the interest in the senior section, which should have a representation of nearly 100 percent. A senior ' s picture in the Jayhawker should be as important to him as his cap and gown. This year we discontinued the two middle classes, and I hope that in the near future the class space in the Jayhawker will be devoted to the seniors entirely. ' In connection with our senior section this year, we have reproduced a letter which we received from Senator Wil- liam E. Borah, chairman of the com- mittee on foreign affairs in the United States Senate. Senator Borah sends his greetings to the graduates, and his letter is an encouraging boost to those who will go out into the world next week, to start their battle with life. Senator Borah is a former student of the University of Kansas and a former resident of this state. He is always interested in the ac- tivities of the University and of its graduates. Our old friend. Kansas State, has contributed a story which winds up our series of accounts of student life at other Big Six schools. These stories throughout the year have been written by outstanding journalists in these schools, and they give us a basis for comparing our college life with that enjoyed by students in this section of the country. The sports department has had a busy time this issue. Accounts of the success of the golf and tennis teams are chronicled. Dean Moorhead, who made his debut on our sports staff last issue, handles the tennis story, while Horace Hedges, golf captain, writes of the golf season. Stanley Marietta, a member of the student relays committee has given us a fine account of the thirteenth an- nual Kansas Relays. The lead story this issue, as has been our custom this year, was written by- Harry Valentine, managing editor of the University Daily Kansan. We have selected the newspaper clan to write these stories because it is a running serial of the events of the year, and the journalists have access to the files, and to a certain extent they use their mem- ories, to give you this feature. Bob Lamar has handled the humor for me again this issue. He has done remarkably well this year as our humor editor. The title of his article this time is Swan Song, 1935 , and it deals with the lack of sense in all of the ritual gone through by the graduates of the University. Jim Donahue, our art editor has dene two more cartoons this issue. He com- pletes our dear old friend Clem Eu- bank ' s first year at the state U., and also does his cartoon page which satirizes the events of the spring. And so with our organization pages, a story bidding farewell to Dean Hus- band, and the regular features such as the Social Wheel , Campus Polylogia Says , the clothes columns, and the poetry page we wind up the last issue of the Jayhawker. It has been a pleasure to edit the annual, and I now say good- bye for this year. See you next fall! TXIYERSITY OF KANSAS And now, farewe BY HARRY VALENTINE The year has ended; some will leave, never to return, college friendships will soon terminate and our seniors now begin their battle with life . . . THE end is gradually coming. But it has been a pretty good ending with the M. S. C. election, the peace strike, the annual music festival, the band festival and other things. When the last Jayhawker was going to press the students were getting ready for the old battle for offices on the council. But it was a nice clean battle this time. All the dirty politics were kept hidden from the voters. And what ' s more. Cunnar ' I ' m completely baffled ' Mykland, Lloyd Metzler. Char- ley Anderson and Lynian ' Red ' Field were able to sleep 23 hours a day. They didn ' t have to think up dirty things to say about each other publicly since the handbills were missing. Well, anywav; it all resulted in Ly- man Field being elected president. Fifteen other P. S. G. L. candidates were elected to office, all of them to the council. The Pachacamacs did a little better and gained control of 13 coun- cil offices and placed men in three other offices. All the elections squabbles didn ' t end, however, with the first count as there were ties in the School of Law and the School of Medicine in the race for council representative. And what ' s more, Lyman Field only led Norbert Anscheutz by five votes. Now. natural- ly, the politicians weren ' t going to be satisfied with results like that. So a new election was held to decide the ties, the P. S. G. L. ' s winning one and the Pachacamacs the other. In the recount for the presidency. Field gained one vote. And it all ended in both parties be- ing able to hold victory banquets. Now wasn ' t that nice? Since the noble cleanup campaign was started in the city of Lawrence, the students, of course, were interested in the government there. Alfred Lawrence became mayor. That was when the cleanup started. Sometimes quite a few of the boys got picked up during the week-end. And then, other times, only ten or fifteen got picked up. But then, what are a few fines to the rich col- lege boys who come here to support t he great town of Lawrence? Then came the peace strike to arouse the spirits of the peace-loving stu- dents. Joe Doctor resigned from his posi- tion as publisher of the Kansan and Bill Blizzard from his as chairman of the Kansas Board, because the paper ' s board voted to be one of the three of four student papers in the Lnited States VOTERS UPSET POLITICAL MONOPOLY ON THE HILL BELTZ SHOT THE STRAIGHTEST backing the movement where it wasn ' t sanctioned by the administration. After much argument between the strike promoters and the strike demot- ers. the big day arrived. And what do you think happened? As a radical guess, there were possibly 100 strikers and more than 700 curiosity seekers present to hear Field, (there his name has slipped in again I. Born. Hackler and Brubaker tell all about it. And the Memorial Union got sued. It all came about because Joseph Sut- ton. freshman law student, was fined ten cents when he slagged it to the Mid- Week and one time he couldn ' t get in because the 200 limit had been reached. Now. Sutlon figured that it wasn ' t right to have all of this done to him. So he sued for 5.10. After the operating committee decided to quit the ten cent fine. Sutton agreed to withdraw his case if the L nion would pay the costs. And so it turned out. Now we can go to the Mid- Weeks without paying the fines, (that is. if we get there early enough I. Oh. yes! The famed economist. Irv- ing Fisher, delivered a lecture course number about this time to break the monotony of the student ' s life. In the way of sports, several things were happening. Phog Allen, while attending the national basketball con- vention, was nominated to coach the 1936 Olympic basketball team. The THE JAYHAWKER sports commentators seem to think that the Olympic committee will back up the nomination. The annual spring mock trials were started realistically when Fred Malo tried to kill Olin Petefish after a heat- ed argument in the law library. It seems that Petefish threw a book at Malo and Malo went out and came back with a gun, (we understand it was a cap pistol. It ' s the way these lawyers play), and tried to kill Petefish. Malo was found guilty but was paroled so he could continue his law studies in order that he would be better able to get out of scrapes the next time. The other trial resulted after the Lucky Break Cigarette Co., used a picture of Claudette Barlow in one of their ads. Claudette sued for $20,000 charging that, since she was a promi- nent member of the anti-cigarette lea- gue, her name had been damaged great- ly. She was awarded a small sum (guess her name wasn ' t worth much). And, of course, the engineers got out and held their annual vacation (it ' s a pity the college can ' t get a day off sometime, too). After an afternoon of baseball, tug of war, and other childish games it was found that the chemicals and electricals were in a tie for first place. They had to play a baseball game later so one or the other could win. The chemicals came out on top with a score of 7 to 6. Glenn Cunningham was named as the Honor Man of 1934 at the annual honors convocation. The committee which made the selection said in their report, He retained his character after being subjected to the most seductive forms of hero worship. Perhaps his achievements are best explained in the light of his own words, ' to like a race for the race itself. The seniors who constituted the highest 10 per cent in scholarships were also honored, as were the leaders in the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes. Dr. Wallace B. Fleming, president of Baker University, gave the convocation address. As the last act of the old student council, it passed an amendment to the constitution which changed the method of selecting the varsity dance manager. In the past (he president of the council has been able to pass out a very, very nice political plum. Of course, we are speaking of the dance managership. But it was decided that the manager should not have to depend upon political connections to get his job, so in the future he will be named from a slate of five names chosen by the M. S. C. and a committee composed of the chairman of the Union Operating Committee, the manager of the Mem- orial Union, and the past dance mana- ger who will name the new dance mana- ger from the names named by the M. S. C. (We were listening to a funny radio program when we wrote that sentence). Everybody, or that is, nearly every- body, or maybe it was just a few, went to see the relays held during the Easter vacation. Cunningham lost a race for the first time this year. The race could probably be alibied, but what is the use of doing that when you know that if he could have, Glenn would have won. The University of Iowa relay team out- shined the other events of the after- noon when it broke the world record in the 440 and 880-yard relays. A VOTER BECOMES PROMINENT The senior men ' s honor society, Sach- em, became even more exclusive this year when the five members elected four more to membership. Those elect- ed were: Chevey White, George Fry, Richard Wells and Arthur Voss. Since Joe Doctor resigned as publish- er of the Kansan, the board elected Carolyn, prominent P. S. G. L. ' ist, to that position. The University had only two men who placed at the Drake Relays, Dees winning the shot-put and Al Wellhausen tying for fourth in the high jump. The School of Fine Arts placed first, however, with an outstanding program celebration the annual Music Week. John Charles Thomas, famous bary- tone, and Dalies Frantz, noted young American pianist, gave concert pro- grams that pleased large audiances. Other programs by the University Band, Symphony Orchestra, Haskell Band, and recitals by fine arts students met with the approval of the people. The celebration started April 28 and lasted until May 5. Another musical celebration started here this year by Russell Wiley, di- rector of the University band, that drew large crowds to the campus was the National Band Festival. Some of the greatest band conductors in the country including Dr. Edwin Franko Goldman, Harold Bachman, Herbert L. Clarke, Carl Busch, and others, came here to participate in the program and judge the contests. The highlights of the festival were the parade, marching contest, and the massed concert by 500 musicians. The week of the band festival was featured by other important happenings on the Hill. Dudley Doolittle, member of the Board of Regents, made a surprising announcement at the annual law school banquet. It was that Dr. W. S. Bur- dick, acting dean of the school, had been appointed dean of the school. It comes as an honor climaxing nearly forty years on the law faculty. The new Men ' s Student Council held its first regular meeting. It looks as though the council which is so evenly divided will have a very eventful year, with a majority of Pachacamac mem- bers and a P. S. G. L. president. Both parties seem to be sticking together and the fights, which will no doubt be nu- merous, have already begun. The senior class decided that each should give $1 for a memorial to the University. They also voted to charge each member $2 for the alumni fund, 25 cents for the senior breakfast and 50 cents for rental of caps and gowns. The Jayhawker Advisory Board se- lected the staff for this magazine for next year. They named John Chandler as editor and Robert Kanyon as busi- ness manager. The business school held their elec- tion and elected George Guernsey presi- dent. The engineering school -also held their election and picked Frank Neal for president. And the new members of the Owl Society, junior men ' s honor organiza- tion, were announced. Underground re- ports are extremely interesting consider- ing the election of these new members. After the attacks made by the Kansan earlier in the year, the members thought that they ought to improve their organ- isation. But politics played their old part and the arguments, bickerings, and even down right cussing outs flew fast and hot. But the result was the selec- tion of members who had a grade aver- age of 2.1555. The impressive record of the Kansas track team continued and they lost a dual meet with Nebraska and Kansas State and a triangular meet with the same schools. One week later, on a UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 329 THENO GRAVES WINS BY A CHEST OVER RIVAL rainsoaked Irack, they lost a dual meet with Missouri. That great newspaper, the University Daily Kansan, (we happen to be man- aging editor I continued to improve and added a United Press special leased wire service to its news gathering agencies. In the minor sport field, the Kansas golf and tennis teams are doing well, winning most of their matches with an occasional tie or defeat. Coming as an announcement that was expected, but not quite this soon, was the statement of Chancellor E. H. Lindley that he had recommended to the Board of Regents that Miss Elizabeth Meguiar be appointed Adviser of Women. Miss Meguiar has been connected with the University since the fall of 1917. She served as an instructor of home economics from 1917 to 1919 and since that time has been an assistant professor of home economics. She serv- ed as acting dean of women during the absence of Dean Agnes Husband in 1927-1928. And the siege of chain letters took the campus by storm. Certain students (maybe it was all of them) took part spending dimes to dollars trying to get rich. One guy said that he collected $32 on a dollar chain, but that is be- ing doubted by most people. Anyway, they added their money to somebody ' s pocket and got few returns themselves. Then the fad passed on as all fads do. It probably will have its place taken by a baby bottle fad (that is, everybody will put their liquor in a baby bottle and drink it through a nipple. At least that sounds as reasonable as any fad). Another thing that seems to be both- ering a group of students is the racial discrimination on the Hill. Noth- ing has broken into print concerning the matter yet but it may soon. It seems that matters are coming to a crisis, and the interested group is trying to work everything out to the best advantage of all concerned. Let ' s hope that they do. When this article was written the Jay- hawker staff was in a quandry. They wanted the Jayhawker to come out be- fore the finals but knew that it was im- possible. Finally the editor and business manager flipped a coin and the flip came out in favor of the Jayhawker coming out May 28. We wonder if the flip was true? Lyman Field, newly elected president of the Men ' s Student Council, has re- cently been looking for the constitution of the Student Council. His predecessors only had one. and now Lyman has none. He has made an appeal to every student on the Hill to offer his aid in helping to find the constitution. To date it has not been found. That is what has happened up to the time of writing this article. But history will be made in the next few weeks. So it is well to record a few of the foreseen events. The R. 0. T. C. students will get to- gether and hold their military ball on the night of May 17. The farewell varsity, where all of the students can tramp on the senior ' s feet for the last time, besides bumping into each other and attempting to dance five steps with the same girl, will be held on May 25. And on May 29 the second semester final examinations begin with all of the woes and heartaches. A day ' s vaca- tion has been declared for May 30. Dec- oration Day. so that everbody can rest up. go to a show, get soused, or study- in preparation for the remainder of the finals which will end (if you are lucky enough to have a 3:30) on June 6. ' And then the end begins June 7 with senior week. The program includes entertainment for visitors in forms of sports and recitals, class and group re- union dinners, organization meetings, alumni convocation, and the annual University reception. The baccalaureate sermon will be de- livered by Charles Clayton Morrison of Chicago, and editor of the Christian Century. It will all end with commencement ex- ercises Monday night. June 10. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana Lni- versity. will give the address. Then the trek into the cold, cold world will begin for those who want jobs, (probably five times as many- want jobs as will get them I. and those who will return next year will wish that they were graduating and thus get rid of the hard boiled, unfair, terrible professors with whom they have to deal. A WORLD OF SIGNIFICANCE IN THOSE WORDS CL6NA IS COM 1 96 TODAU- UQO-12 VUooUOn D A(J- ' ' fan c V} W. H 11 t Clem UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS M. G. M. official judges beauties BY JOHN CHANDLER The senior beauties are selected after a personal interview with the noted casting director . . . DEPARTING from the more or less traditional policy of selecting beauty queens from photographs, the editor of the Jayhawker was able to arrange for the candidates for the cher- ished position of most pulchritudinous senior to be judged in person. Through the cooperation of Stanley Schwan, manager of the Granada Theater, ar- rangements were made to have the staff of the traveling Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio make the final selection from among the fifteen candidates. On May 9, therefore, the fifteen pre- viously selected by a staff committee were assembled on the stage of Fraser theater, and the winners were selected by C. Edward Carrier. Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer test director. The assignment presented no novelty to Mr. Carrier, as he comes in contact with beauty so fre- quently in his search for new screen talent that he might well be called a professional beauty judge, More than a dozen prominent screen stars owe their movie careers to Mr. Carrier. Spanky MacFarland is his most recent discov- ery. Together with the other members of the staff of the traveling studio he is conducting a nationwide search for new screen personalities. As each girl EDDIE CARRIER Btatity Judge walked to the center of the stage for Mr. Carrier ' s inspection, lights were thrown on her by Mr. David, veteran Hollywood cameraman, who has been associated with the movie industry since its infancv. Other members of the staff included Irving Goodfield. a specialist in photography, of the M. G. M. produc- tion department. Claude Morns, the company ' s public relations director in the middlewest. and Russ Stewart, di- rector of the traveling test unit. Readers and editors alike have often felt that photographs are not the best way to present candidates to a judge, and while this is quite true, it is but seldom that an opportunity to conduct the contest in any other way presents itself. S hen he is able to meet the beauties personally, the judge is able to more accurately evaluate the illusive and intangible, but all important fac- tor, personality. Every girl has equal opportunity to appear at her best and impress the judge. On the following pages appear the beauty queens of the class of ' 35. Those who can ' t see things the way Mr. Carrier did. may console themselves by the thought that the selections represent but one man ' s opinion. There are prob- ably hundreds of self appointed beauty judges who feel that they could do a better job. Perhaps some dav they ' ll have a chance to prove their merit. Nevertheless, the Jayhawker presents the senior beauties with the assurance that no selections in recent years have received more fair and careful consid- eration.

It was the day of the Thirteenth Annual Kansas Relays. The sta- dium buzzed with activity. A few athletes in their bright colored warm-ups were jogging around the track, workers rolled the tracks, lined the lanes, and prepared everything for the biggest relay games in the West. A small train of athletes trickled into the stadium, harassed officials, ran about with their bright red badges, and Ed Elbel punned profusely. As the morning progressed, the decathalon men per- formed in their events and the preliminaries for the after- noon were run. In the afternoon the crowd swelled to sur- prisable proportions. Governor Landon, the honorary ref- eree came onto the field to greet Mary Margaret Manary and her two attendants, Lucille Bottom, and Katherine Kus- ter. The combined bands of Lawrence High School and Haskell played the Star Spangled Banner, while the flag was raised, and the great Kansas Relays were on. The crowd was enthusiastic. It cheered the runners on in the races. It gave every contestant in the pole vault a little shove to help him clear the bar, it spurred the shot-put men to do their level best, and called on every man to put forth every- thing that he had in him. The result was gratifying. Two world ' s records were broken, and six new Kansas Relays records established. The new world ' s records were set up by a relay team from Iowa consisting of Dooley, Briggs, Nelson, and Owen. The new records were in the 440 yard relay and in the half mile relay. Elwyn Dees of Kansas set a new relays record in the shot, pushing the iron ball a good foot farther than the previous record holder. Other records were made in the two mile University relay by Kansas State, in the 120 yard high hurdles by Sam Allen, of Oklahoma Baptist, with his new style of form, and in the distance medley by the Uni- versity of Indiana. In the one mile relay a new record was set by Texas and a new distance in the discus was estab- lished by Petty of Rice. THE RELAYS QUEEN CONGRATULATES GLEN DAWSON THE DECATHLON ENTRIES CUNNINGHAM IS BEATEN IN THE MILE DEES GIVES CLYDE COFFMAN A RUB-DOWN TEXAS ' CHAMPIONSHIP RELAY TEAM UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 337 fine weather to enjoy the Kansas Relays The greatest disappointment of the day was the outcome of the special invitation mile in which the famous Glenn Cunningham was bested in a slow race of 4:17.4 by Glen Dawson, former Oklahoma .athlete. Cunningham ran this race against Manning, Dawson, and a special relay team running in the outside lane. This team was composed of Charles Bekaert, Calvin Ellis, Bob Crain, and Robert Kaiser. Cunningham, starting from a standing start, drop- ped into third for a short time but soon went into the lead with Dawson second and Manning third. In the third lap Manning passed Dawson but on the back stretch the Tulsan picked up and was on Cunningham ' s heels on the last curve. At the tape he was definitely ahead of Cunningham with Manning finishing third a few yards back of Cunningham. Other Kansas men beside Dees carried off the honors in their events. Charles Pitts won first place in the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet, 10% inches. Ray Noble vaulted 13 feet and five inches to win the pole vault with Gordon Gray tying for third with a vault of 12 feet, six inches. The Kansas mile relay team placed fourth in the university event. The team was composed of MacCaskill, McNown, Schroeder, and Graves. Held in conjunction with the Relays was the Thirteenth Annual Interscholastic Meet. One hundred and twenty- five schools were represented by one thousand athletes. These contestants spent all Friday competing against each other and all Saturday seeing just what the best could do and just how they did it. The A. A. U. decathalon proved to be more popular this year than in any other past year. There were nineteen contestants entered in the events. It was won by Clyde Coff- man contesting unattached though still a student in the Uni- versity. His total score was 6,719, ten points ahead of the next man, Burke of Oklahoma. The Relays were a decided success. The crowd was large in spite of the fact that the Relays were held during Easter vacation. The whole Relay games were run with precision, thanks to the careful planning of the officials. The events were exciting, the queen beautiful, the day perfect what more could be asked.

WHICH ESTABLISHED TWO WORLD ' S RECORDS 338 THE JAYHAWKEE BY HARRY LANE The class o f ' 35 To the seniors, who now have to go out into the cold, cold world and bat- tle old man depression WITH Pachacamac carrying on in all its power and with the women ' s so called combines working to perfection, the 1934-35 senior class of- ficers were swept into office on a rising tide of voting power. This year ' s ad- ministration suffered no trouble in get- ting into their respective offices. To the GEORGE FRY men and their party it was just another election which gave the seniors a presi- dent and a treasurer. The women in a much quieter way provided a vice- president and secretary for the. class and then with these different offices filled, the senior class was ready to get under way for the next year. The lucky juniors who were granted the power of directing the policies of their classmates for the next year were: president, George Fry; vice-president, Ann Kell; secretary, Mary Lou Becker; and treasurer, LeMoine D. Weiser. This is a representation this year ' s seniors can well be proud of because they are all very capable of fulfilling the duties of their respective offices. It might seem contrary to the pop- ular belief of most of us but there is more to the senior class offices than just an election. The senior officers are really the only class officers that have any real duties to perform. Along with this honor there is quite a little bit of work and directorial ability needed. The job of directing the seniors who figure they know it all anyway is one which requires a lot of activity. Every function which the graduating class must perform is done under the supervision of the senior officers. All the work connected with the graduation and commencement exercises cannot be done by the officers alone so president Fry appointed several committees headed by certain responsible members of the class. These committees all have certain duties to perform and as yet the major part of their work is to come. Powell Aubrey and Clarke Adams were appointed as Senior Cakewalk managers and in conjunction with the Varsity Dance Manager they put on a party that was entirely worthy of the senior class. The party with Bobby Meeker furnishing the music was con- sidered by many to be the best class party of the year. This year ' s class evidently thought that they could get along a lot better without a historian to bring back all the sordid details of their past so they re- Trained from appointing one. They evi- dently wanted to trust to their luck in the future so they also refrained from CLARKE ADAMS MERLE WELSH appointing some one to forecast the future for them. The duties of the senior class officers are many and the only compensation they receive is the small honor attached to the fact that they can say they were elected officers of the senior class of 1935. Their most important job is to organize the class toward the end of the school year so that invitations may be selected, caps and gowns arranged for, holding a senior breakfast and other meetings, selecting a final gift for the University, and ironing out all the dif- ficulties which might keep them from having a successful program. These officers must prepare a large graduating class for their last and most impressive collegiate ceremony. This senior class can well be proud of the officers they have chosen to lead them to their last connection officially with the place where they have spent what probably are four of the happiest years of their lives. ANN KELL LEMOINE D. WEISER MARY LOU BECKER 1 ' XIVERSITY OF KANSAS 339 H Cmtcd Pieties, COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS April 29, 1934 Class of ' 35, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. I am always interested in Kansas, in the University, and I am always particularly interested in the young people who go out from that great University year by year to enter upon the duties of real life. We are passing through a period at the present time which, of course, is discouraging to students ready to take up their work the same as it is to many other people. But, after all, these adverse days are a test of character. No student should change his plans or surrender his ambition because of present conditions. Times will change, conditions will change, and ability and character will win. Very sincerely, W ILLIAM E. BORAH, senior Sena- tor from Idaho, was born in Fair- field, Illinois, on June 29, 1865. He at- tended school at the Southern Illinois Academy at Enfield and at the Uni- versity of Kansas. He was admitted to the bar in 1889 and began his practice in Lyons, Kansas. In 1891, he moved to Boise, Idaho, and was elected Senator in 1906 and re-elected four times. Since 1924 he has been active head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the Senate. He is an advocate of political reform and has always been enlisted in the ranks of the Republican party. He has been considered as one of the most powerful figures of American po- litical life and there was quite a bit of talk about his being the Republican candidate for president. In Lyons, one may still see the worn and faintly visi- ble shingle bearing the words William E. Borah, lawyer. He still has a place in his heart for Kansas and is always glad to see people from the grand old state when they come to Washington. 340 THE JAYHAWKEE CLARKE ADAMS Business Holton Delta Upsilon; Owl Society; Kansas Relays Committee; Band; Men ' s Glee Club; Asst.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Swan song, 1935 BY BOB LAMAR IN A few weeks, this noble U will grind out, via the business office, approx- imately one thousand finished products. Those who are graduating wish they weren ' t, and those who are not wish they were, this attitude being quite in keeping with the general trend of thought in any state owned and oper- ated recreation camp. The male portion of this collegiate (hey hey) end-prod- uct will either sit around doing abso- lutely nothing or sit around doing abso- lutely nothing in their father ' s business. Those of the fairer sex who have not succeeded in claiming their bit of gold filigree from some unfortunates vest will return to Pinwheel and study ani- mal husbandry or the art of being a maiden aunt or. perhaps, the art of be- ing just an aunt. (Since you have about given up by now, refer to the last sen- tence. Ed. note.) However, those who leave this great institution will not be without memories of an impressive graduation ceremony, another tradition that is being enforced. This is an excellent move on the part of the administration. Psychiatrists have found that when people of ex- tremely low mental ability marry, it is necessary to have a very impressive ceremony in order to impress upon the betrothed nit-wits the fact that they are actually married. Similarly, the Uni- versity finds the need for a very serious and prolonged commencement in order to prevent the graduates from returning the next year for some more undergrad- uate work. Hence we have speeches, en- graved invitations, meetings, and, most important of all, an inked-in square of crinkly parchment which equals even the Lone Wolf painting in decorative quality. Each graduate is loaned a long black cape (probably the last loan he will ever be able to repay) and a hat which appropriately is cut to fit a head which has the contours of the western plains of our garden state. He then sits in designated spots and rises at given signals until he is handed the rolled sheepskin. He is, of course, quite adept at sitting and rising according to sched- ule since that is practically all he has been doing for the past four or five years. Often editors accuse a graduate of being typical of all his fellow grad- uates, this being a hell of a thing to say about anybody. Such an accusation is unjust, since there are a number of types included in the College Grad- uate class. For example, those of the upper tenth of the upper tenth of the upper tenth scholastically, or the I Got Brains group, are obviously in no way related to the Common Herd of the Commencement Ordeals. Miss I Got Brains is much different from her sis- ters. She wears glasses and combs her hair straight back. (I tried wearing a monocle to German class once and al- most got an A. Author ' s note.) (He passed, anyway. Ed. note I She can, upon be ' ng approached for an opinion, im- mediately assume the startled-fawn-ex- pression which conveys both perfect in- nocence and shocked understanding. This usually is very effective when ap- plied correctly on bearded professors, mustaches not withstanding. Mister I Got Brains has many similar habits, and may be recognized most easily by his consistent wearing of single breasted suits, this allowing a full view of dang- ling keys. These are worn throughout life, their implications a trifle more subtle than a printed sign on the wear- er ' s back proclaiming I was a smart guy when I went to college. The opposite of this group is the Bare Requirements set. These recog- nize their good fortune in graduating, and brag a great deal about their 120 grade points instead of offering the tear-jerking tale about the semester their average fell to 2.83. Also includ ed here are the many who have really com- pleted their college education, having learned the Culbertson system, how to smoke a cigarette while taking a shower, how to talk to a blind date, and all those other absolutely necessary things, but have not picked up the incidental sheepskin at the end. However, the Bare Requirements group will undoubtedly be happier after college, since it is doomed to a job and married life rather that a professorship. Those students of the Great Inbe- tween are truly what we might call The Herd. They can neither write poetry nor discuss at length the advantages of such courses as Evolution of the Insect Wing. (There must be one or two ad- vantages, anyway.) Their dancing is far from the self -estimated Hedges level, and there is a distracting tone in their voices when they try to mimic the lilting Tally-ho! of this jazz age collegiana. They are in no way a college problem, for Peace Strikes and Nightshirt Par- ades are Kinda collegiate, ain ' t thev, to put it in typical hoi polloi fashion. They are unfamiliar with politics, and after the recent efforts of psgl (pro- nounced by placing the tongue between the lips and blowing lustily) Field, they are in doubt as to whether White Owl refers to a cigar or to the men ' s junior political society. But we shall consider this group no further. Our own boy Lyman, protagonist of the people ' s rights, has already considered The Herd from a much more humorous angle than this article could ever attempt. It is sad that the graduate cannot make the Graduation Address to his professors instead of the present vice versa method. Much more justice would be achieved in this manner. Reciprocity- would be the spirit of such an affair, and the professors could cut the lecture (it usually is a lecture in its present form), or they could go and sleep through it. This day of getting even could also allow the student some gol- den opportunities. He could run over- time, or. and it ' s not without precedent, not show up at all. He could be ex- tremely dull, (how could he help it? I, and he might go so far as to tell the listening professors what he got out of their courses, this latter shortening the talk a great deal. The text of his speech would be simple; for example, a proper pronunciation of the Universitatis Kansiensis and a warning not to throw lighted cigarettes into bushes could all be inspired and illustrated by our glor- ious crest ever shining on the fronts of 81.25 notebooks. Though the reader will probably re- mark You said it to my next sen- tence and nearly die laughing at his own humor it is nevertheless true: There is nothing funny about grad- uation. It is the only crossroad of life where there are no strings attached. First, apron strings: second, notebook strings, then shoulder straps anchor the life of the young men of today. But between the second and third there is the Great Abyss. The idea of lambs re- turning to the fold would be a beautiful thought were the fold not either dry (Continued on page 380) 350 THE .IAVIIAWKKK BALIE PAYTON WAGGENER, prom- inent Atchison lawyer, was ap- pointed to the Board of Regents by Governor Woodring in 1932. Mr. Wag- gener was born in Atchison on March 30, 1898. He attended school at Hol- dernes School in Plymouth, New Hampshire. He entered the University in 1917 and entered Law School in February, 1920, where he was a mem- ber of the Phi Alpha Delta law fra- ternity. Immediately after his grad- uation in 1922, he entered the law firm of Waggener, Challis and May in Atch- ison. He married Gladys Sadler in 1925 in Dallas, Texas, and was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1927 and was re-elected with no oppo- sition in 1929. He has been active in Democratic circles in the state and was president of the Washington Day Ban- quet Club in 1928. He has been an ac- tive member of the Atchison Post of the American Legion, and now is coun- sel for the Missouri Pacific Railroad in Atchison. DREW McLAUGHLIX, prominent newspaper man in the state of Kan- sas, was appointed to the Board of Regents by Governor Clyde Reed in 1929 and was reappointed by Governor Landon in 1934. Born in Hiawatha, Kansas, Mr. McLaughlin attended high school there and began his work as a newspaper man on the Hiawatha pub- lication. At the age of 15 he had com- plete charge of the paper during the summer months. Mr. McLaughlin has worked on numerous papers throughout the state, including those of Snbetha. Hutchinson and Salina. He also served on the Topeka Capital as state house reporter. In 1920 he bought the Miami Republican and moved to Paola where he has been located since that time. Mr. McLaughlin has always been an active supporter of Kansas University and above all an enthusiastic follower of the athletic teams of Kansas Uni- versity. He was formerly president of the Kansas Press Association. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS w e yam what we yam A summary of the student life of our old friends, the Aggies THE school song of Kansas State College ought to be the Popeye an- them I yam what 1 yam and that ' s all that I yam, ' sung to the tune of No- body knows how dry I yam the theme song of all good Kansans. farmers and otherwise. We ' re Aggies, we know it, most of us can ' t help it. and most of us wouldn ' t if we could. If we wanted to be lawyers we ' d go somewhere to learn to stand before the bar, preferably without stag- gering. If we wanted to be doctors we ' d go and take a few courses in anatomy and whatever else all good doctors seem to learn. But, you see. we want to be Ags. or Vets, or Engineers, or scientists, or architects, or experts on the home, so we came to a school where we could give it our undivided attention. Music, art and literature can be had at Kansas State, but this is one of the land grant colleges where sciences are the basic courses, though not to the complete ex- clusion of liberal arts. We will admit some of us look like something even Tommy the cat wouldn ' t drag in. but if you look us over long enough at any good jellying parlor, you will see an occasional face that could start even a grandfather ' s clock. We have big and brawny girls, kindly page the Alpha Delta Pi ' s, but BY BERYLE McCAMMON with four men to every woman, a mere 140 pounds looks like a por t in any old storm to at least two out of the four. College is said to be the greatest mar- riage market in the world. A book could be written on why girls go to college, but the foregoing statement at least partly answers the question. Figures kept by the Division of Home Economics at Kansas State show that 85 per cent of the girls graduating in this division are married within five years after their graduation. Don ' t crowd, girls. After all. there are some things even the Di- vision of Home Economics can ' t do. But these figures do show that a career isn ' t the sum total of these girls ' aims in coming to Manhattan, or if it was. they soon find that a career, alone in all its glory, gets a bit tiresome. It should be added, of course, that one reason many of the Home EC girls marry is that so many of them are graduated into high school teaching jobs or positions in h os- pitals, nursery schools or fields of home economics research. Now is certainly the time for all good Aggies to talk about their foot- ball team, as 1935 is marked down as the year when we cast off our swaddling clothes and put on the romper suit of victory. Being the smallest school in the conference, we have often been the un- derdog in sports. Football is sport ' s major in college, and winning the Big Six last year with the now famous Wal- dorf as coach, is something we. as well as Nebraska, can always remember. Our second wind football team did right bv their little Nell and filled the sta- AT WORK IN THE AGGIE SHOPS A KANSAS STATE MASCOT (Hum on autumn Saturday afternoons. (N. B. Our stadium, though not fin- ished, is paid for. I Since we have now tasted the sweets of victory, it may not be so easy for us to lose again at least with the good sportsmanship we have been credited with having in the past. Perhaps the solution to that is to keep on winning. The record set by the two- mile team, the two-mile relay team and the winning of the indoor track meet helps us forget the basketball season, but as the Nebraskan put it. we ' ll skip that. A cardinal point of Kansas State ath- letic policy under Mike Ahearn has been friendly relation with K. U. (See accompanying picture! I The University has reciprocated so that sports competi- tion between the two big schools has not been called off as in many states because of unbrotherly brawls. The freshmen also came into their own this fall at one of the football games. They were more or less in the same class with the man who did not know his own strength, but the upper classmen unwittingly showed them the power in numbers when they forced the freshmen to do a snake dance on the field. The freshmen looked at this long line weaving back and forth across the field, then at the upper classmen who had been wielding the paddled scepter over them so long. Seeing themselves in a great majority, they trooped back into the stands, talked it over among themselves, and then occurred the fresh- men rebellion. Off came their fresh- man caps, and up rose the cry of Come and get us if you don ' t like it, The effete upper classmen decided they liked it. Some good must come out of a tech- nological college in addition to giving 352 THE JAYHAWKER the students an education. Kansas Ex- periment Station has given the farmers of this region numerous new and val- uable crops in the last fifty years. Ex- periments in crops and soils are carried on at the 1,600 acre farm owned by the college. Out of these experiments have come Atlas sorgo, Kanred and Tenmarq wheats, and Kanota oats. To test these crops thoroughly under farm conditions before they are widely distributed, Kan- sas State College has developed an ex- tensive cooperative variety testing sys- tem with farmers on their own farms out over the state. It is highly probable that the names of these crops mean nothing to you Jayhawkers, but after all they are the crops that raise the dough that father puts in the bank that you write checks on. Just try and laugh that off. If no one else will do it, we ' ll boast of having the only school in the United States that offers a degree in milling, and of being the only school in the world outside of Russia that of- fers a complete course in milling in- dustry. Dr. C. O. Swanson, head of the department, points to the statement of the head of a Russian milling school that the milling schools were not so num- erous in Russia under the capitalistic form of government, but when the Com- munists required every one who worked in a mill to show a certificate for the necessary training, milling schools be- came both popular and numerous. We are not as yet advocating turning Red so we can have a larger milling depart- ment. The engineering division ' s experi- ment station developed a method of test- ing concrete durability now used all over the world insuring that roads will last, saving Kansas and the United States and some foreign countries millions of dollars. The engineering division also has one of the best television schools and broadcasting stations in central United States. On May 7, the television station and radio station KSAC put on their first joint program of sound and television. Each spring at Engineers ' Open House, a television broadcast is picked up and is one of the most inter- esting features of the program. During Open House, the doors of the engineer- ing building, the shops and the power house are thrown wide open to the dumb public, and everyone is cordially invited to see how much they don ' t know about what ' s new in engineering. Students and instructors demonstrate and illustrate recent developments in all fields of engineering. It ' s a good show and crowds gather from the four cor- ners of the state. But of course, the students themselves put on a continuous three-ring circus for themselves and townspeople. Being young only once is an alibi for a lot of fun. We dance, date and jelly quite madly for we may never again find life so excitingly social. Dates are really the hub of the social wheel here as well as elsewhere, and chiseling is reduced to a fine art. Brothers and sisters under the bond learn to give and take each other ' s gal and boy friends with the greatest of ease, and sometimes no seri- ous casualties result. It ' s every girl for herself and the stag line takes the cur- rent successes unto its bosom for only a moment until they are snatched away. This snatching business is quite pop- ular. Just witness the pin snatching game! Many a lad awakes the next morning with a headache and without a pin and wonders which sorority ' s quota is low for the week. What price dating! It ' s too bad if you don ' t get around and sometimes not so good if you do, but after all, studies should never interfere with a college education. The college wants its women to keep their school girl complexions, and therefore establishes the usual hours for not staying out after. On week-end nights we can stay out until one o ' clock, and believe you me, after attending one of the regular varsities where there isn ' t even jittering space, we ' re ready to put the body to bed by that hour. The fall and spring formals of the various houses decrease the jam, and in the hope of also decreasing the number of stags, the policy has been adopted of charging 75 cents per stag and only 50 cents for dates. That ' s one time a man can ' t afford not to have a date. For those whose horns of plenty are not overblowing, there are always the dime dances at Recreation Center, sponsored by the Y. M. and Y. W., and not by the founders of the Dime Chain. Jellying is the great Manhattan pas- time. We jelly at the Canteen, the Palace and the College Drug, princi- pally. The girls go there to get them- selves looked over and to get a date if one hasn ' t presented itself of its own free will. One season of the year sees the boys being the coy pursued. That is just before the Gold Diggers Ball. Here the girls take the boys to the dance. A couple of the smarter females this year carried sandwiches in their pockets just in case the boys would start out by not being very hungry at all, and wind up with the whole restaurant inside their vests. And speaking of food reminds me that BETWEEN CLASSES UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 353 GEORGE MADDOX .4U- lmerizi Tackle you can get 57 different varieties of degrees from the Division of General Science, no two of which are alike, and almost that many varieties of service from the Extension Division. The Exten- sion Division broadcasts its information out over the state through KSAC, The Voice of Kansas State. They have an army of extension specialists on every- thing from soup to nuts, and a horde of AAAA ' s (Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration Administrators to you. You ' ll have to admit I went the gov- ernment one better when I put that last A on there. I These extension men honeycomb the state with information, help and even advice. Over toward the northwest section of the campus, there is some farm at- mosphere. This is where the Vets learn to keep the health of the lowly beasts up to par. This Scho ol of Veterinary Medicine is one of the best in the country, but even a loyal Kansas Aggie senses that the Vet boys tell too many people too many times about how good their school is, how . many students they have, and how many countries and states are represented among their students and alumni. As the second largest division on the campus the engineers usually remain pretty well on the inside track of school activities. They are outnumbered only by the unorganized and heterogeneous Division of General Science. Traditional enemies of the Ags, the engineers spend much of their leisure time griping at having to receive a degree from a col- lege of agriculture. Their greatest day of achievement was when the legislature was prevailed upon to change the school name to College of Agriculture and Applied Science. ' Engineering students are divided into two distinct types. One carries slide rules on the belt. Jesse James fashion, and the other conceals them in pockets and notebooks. The first type came to school to get an education and doesn ' t give a damn if someone does think they look like hicks. The second type is gen- erally composed of fraternity men, men about the campus, and those of the pro- fessional joiner type. At the beginning of each semester a large number from both types switch over to the school of commerce or agriculture because they find the curriculum gets too tough, or because they develop a sudden dislike for mathematics. All engineers are firm- ly convinced, and will argue for hours at a time, that they are matriculated in the hardest, toughest course in school. Any other course on the Hill is a snap, sez they, but the ones that switch usual- ly do no better afterward. It ' s personality and very much of something else that makes you tops in politics. The quickest back slabbers and the biggest traders of votes eventually get somewhere, usually at the top of the voting list. On the nigh t before the spring election at Kansas State there is the hustle and bustle of a hot political campaign in the Greeks camp. Campus politicians hold secret meetings in smoke filled rooms, pledging support to candidates from other houses, sling- ing mud, vowing vows of what will hap- pen if Rho Dammitt Rho fails to live up to its promise of support. The tele- phone rings incessantly. Pledges are given instructions on how to vote and threatened with extinction if they fail to follow suit. The Independents plan a meeting in the city park and stage a rally around a roaring bonfire, unless perchance a Greek spy slips in and kindles the fire before the Independents arrive on the scene. Loud speakers are mounted on cars and a parade wends its way through Aggieville and the board- ing house sections bearing banners urg- ing Independents to ' ' Go to the polls. Orators urge the Independents to vote a straight Independent ticket and break the fraternity and sorority blocs. The campus on election day presents a scene of disorder and frenzied ac- tivity. It is a cutthroat game with every man for himself. Fraternities and soror- ities fight each other or throw their com- bined forces against the Independents. Secret cliques swap votes. A swarm of campaigners guard every gate, solicit- ing votes and passing out handbills. Placards and handbills adorn every bulletin board, are pasted to sidewalks, steps, telegraph poles, trees and build- ings. Vote for Smith! The Student ' s Choice! (Thank heaven, the legisla- ture ' s wastepaper investigating commit- tee doesn ' t come around on election day. I The polls in Anderson Hall are crowded with campaigners and voters. Candidates stand at every door, shaking hands, soliciting votes. Janitors wearily mumble to themselves as they sweep discarded handbills into huge piles on the floor. Visitors and instructors gaze at the scene in speculative wonder. All day long campus policitians. candidates and voters gather in small groups in the Canteen and speculate on how the elec- tion will go, and who will be the lucky (opinions may differ there I candidate. They swap stories of former elections, stories that grow as the years go by. The day after election is the quiet after the storm. Mud-slinging is over until next election. Candidates, voters and politicians gather again in the Can- teen for a coke and a smoke. Yesterday is forgotten. Independents and Greeks mingle together and democracy again reigns. AT THE K. U.-AGG1E GAME UNIVERSITY OK KANSAS The candid murderer A SHORT STORY STUDY IN MOOD AND ATMOSPHERE BY BETTE HAMILTON Editor ' s Note: This is the first fiction to ap- pear in the Jayhawker AS HE turned to pour me a drink I brought the black-jack down viciously. There was a muffled crack, and he slumped into my arms. I drag- ged the limp body to the overstuffed chair in the corner of the small den and placed it in a sitting position. At last North was dead. I stepped back a few feet and surveyed my victim, or rather, my opponent, since I had actually killed in self defense. He had threatened to send me to prison for a long term if I refused to pay him an enormous black- mail. What else was there for me to do but to get rid of him? I certainly felt no qualms, but I was by no means finished with my task. Angered society is quick to remember the adage of a life for a life once it has captured the perpetrator of such a deed as mine. We are too civilized to allow individual killing, and so I found the snub, black .45 in my side picket and proceeded. To plan a perfect murder is difficult; to carry out the plan is even more so. An alert mind is essential, and hence the individual cannot allow pangs of conscience, anger, or remorse to in- trude upon his thoughts. The murderer must be exceedingly consciencious, do- ing each part of his plan with the ut- most care, overlooking no small point. And so I continued calmly and care- fully. I noticed the steadiness of my hand . . . not a tremor visible . . . and was proud of the clearness of my mind. Then I carefully wiped the ugly auto- matic in my hand, donned a pair of soft gloves, and approached the body. It was still warm and limp, and I noticed with satisfaction that the mouth was conveniently open. I lifted North ' s left hand ... he was left-handed . . . and placed the automatic in it. the life- less forefinger closed over the trigger. Then, with steady hand, I placed the muzzle of the gun in the open mouth, tilting it slightly upward, and grasping the limp hand firmly over the gun I pulled the trigger. There was a roar, and simultaneously I was a free man. I relaxed my firm grip on the hand holding the gun and allowed it to fall naturally at the dead man ' s side, the smoking automatic dangling from the unfeeling fingers. Of course, the dead North was a hideous sight, his whole skull blown away by the crashing bullet. But that had been part of my perfect plan, this mangling of my victim ' s head. Thus there was no sign of his having been slugged and obviously no man could have died by other than his own hand when he has been found shot through the roof of the mouth. So would run the minds of the police upon investigating North ' s de- mise. I crossed to the telephone and called hurriedly Police department, quickly. I minded not at all staying with the corpse of my victim. In fact, I was rather gratified at having finished en- acting so perfect a crime. I admired the steadiness of my hand, the composure that seemed so natural. Soon the police arrived, the uniformed men staying at the door while the two plain-clothes de- tectives entered the death room. I stood silently by, amused as I watched them blanch when they first viewed the bloody remains of North. One of them questioned me perfunctorily, then turn- ed to the other, after I had explained how I had discovered the body when I came to visit the dead man, and said simply, Let ' s call the coroner and get out of here before I get sick. The other agreed, and having called the coroner and told me that I could either go home or stay, they bid me farewell with un- healthy grins and left. I heard them talking in the front room, something about a horrible mess, and I smiled confidently to myself. It worked, North. I whispered laughingly at the dead man. You ' re a suicide, old fellow. I watched my bloody victim, and then ... he was smiling at me! His mouth was still open and his front teeth were bared, seemingly in a mocking smile! It was a nasty sight, those bloody front teeth gleaming from the death mask. I decided not to wait for the coroner ' s verdict, to walk on home at once. I left the room, said goodnight to the waiting detectives, and hurried from the house. I congratulated myself over and over as I walked rapidly toward my home, but I was unable to forget that hideous leer on the face of my victim. Those bared teeth! Those teeth that was it! A suicide who had died from a shot from an automatic placed in his mouth could not preserve his front teeth. I stopped short as I realized that only a steady hand could prevent the automatic slide from jerking upward as it snapped back in recoil. A dead hand could not hold the gun steady enough to prevent the front teeth from being knocked out. I raced back to the house, daring to pray as I raced along that the coroner would not have arrived before me. I entered the front room of North ' s house trying to appear calm, quickly greeted the two detectives, and hurried to the back room where my victim lay. I clos- ed the door behind me nervously, and crossed to the small desk in the corner of the room. Finding a heavy-handled letter opener, I approached my victim. The rest you have, no doubt, read in the newspapers. How the coroner and the detectives entered to find me ham- mering at those tell-tale front teeth. I need not relate. A fiend, they have since called me in the papers, a madman who was unbalanced enough to hammer at the teeth of his gory victim. Had I had five minutes longer I would have been free, totally unsuspected of any such crime. As I prepare to go to the gallows I observe the trembling of my hand, a trembling nervousness that would have once saved my life and been the means to a perfect crime. But those tremors have come too late, and the hand that was then able to hold steadily and firm- ly the murderous .45 is now shaking violently as I contemplate my own fast approaching death. 356 THE JAYHAWKER Kansas tennis team has good season BY DEAN MOORHEAD THE Kansas tennis team, coached and captained by Arthur Voss, has swung into the stride of former vic- torious teams and bids fair to retake the Big Six championship, vacated last year to Oklahoma. To date the Jayhawk net- sters have, in a series of conference and non-conference dual meets, amassed a total of eight victories against one tie and one loss. Of the eight victories the last seven have been gained by win- ning all six of the matches. The 1935 season opened with two in- door meets against Washburn. Arthur Voss and Kenneth Kell comprised the Kansas team in these events, each play- ing a singles match and then joining to form a doubles team. Kansas easily won both meets, the last victory starting the impressive train of 6-0 Kansas tri- umphs. Delmar Curry and Bob Oyler joined the indoor team of Voss and Kell and opened the outdoor season April 12, against Nebraska. In a meet hampered by high winds but made exciting through the smashing play of Voss and Kell, the two teams fought to a tie. Two weeks later Kansas whitewashed the Kansas State team by winning all six matches in a meet in which the entire Kansas team lost but two sets. A week later in a return match at Manhattan, the Jayhawkers duplicated their last week ' s performance by again ' winning all six matches and by again refusing to allow their opponents more than two sets out of the entire meet. The highly superior play of the Kansas team in these two matches set mid-western sports writers to ranking Kansas as the outstanding contender for the Big Six crown. On April 26, Kansas again met Wash- burn, this time in an outdoor, four-man team meet. When darkness prevented the finishing of this meet, a toss of a coin gave Washburn the victory and inflicted the only Kansas loss of the season. The Jayhawkers had ample revenge, how- ever, by limiting the Ichabods to but one set in a 6-0 meet played May 10. In order to provide a more complete tennis schedule, Kansas has this year played several non-conference meets with smaller Kansas colleges. Kansas has won all of these meets without the loss of a single match. On May ' 2 the Wichita Shockers were the victims; two days later the Emporia team was added to the list; and three days afterwards a clean sweep over Baker University was added to the Kansas victories. The unusually long list of 6-0 Kansas victories this year gives ample evidence of the ability of the men on the tennis team. Captain Arthur Voss holds a string of tennis championships, among them the Big Six championship, and the city championships of Manitou, Colo- rado Springs, and Topeka, all of which he annexed last summer. Voss ' name has for several years been near the top in mid-western tennis. Since 1933, when he was teamed with Junior Coen on the championship Big Six doubles team, he has been a mainstay of the Kansas team. His coaching and his brilliant playing have been material factors in the Kansas team ' s successes. His loss this year will be a severe blow to the team. Kenneth Kell, second ranking player, has had an unusually good season, both in his singles matches and teamed with Voss in the doubles. Delmar Curry and Bob Oyler, although not as expe- rienced in tournament play as are Voss and Kell, have nevertheless stroked their way to a fine string of victories this season. Their consistent, winning play has been of great value to the team. Next year ' s team, strengthened by the probable addition of James Kell, Gene Buchanan, and Newton Hoverstock, looms as the strongest team in the Big Six. Few K. U. students realize that Kansas University is one of the strong- est collegiate tennis centers in the coun- try. In addition to holding for several consecutive years the Big Six tennis crowns, K. U. netmen have starred in national play. Several K. U. players have been seeded in outstanding meets throughout the country, while a former Kansas player, Junior Coen, was a mem- ber of the United States ' Davis Cup Team. The type of tennis displayed by Kan- sas teams is deserving of far better support than is given it by the student body. K. U. meets are notorious for the poor attendance of students. Colleges with teams decidedly inferior to the Kansas teams are wholeheartedly sup- porting their teams with good student attendance. Certainly Kansas should, in view of the records made by its teams, evince more interest in the various meets and demonstrate to the team that its work is appreciated. Whatever the po- tentialities of next year ' s team, its per- formance will be materially increased by better student support. DELMAR CURRY, KENNETH KELL, ART VOSS, BOB OYLER, JACK ATKINS UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 357 Kansas golfers have a successful year BY HORACE HEDGES OLF was introduced this year as a minor sport into the Big Six conference for the first time in its his- tory and to Kansas for the first time since 1928, when Clarence McGuire was an outstanding player of this locality. Members of the team this year include Robert Finley, Robert Quinlan, Donald Reed. Grover Johnson, and Horace Hedges, with Hedges acting as captain. When the Board of Directors of the Big Six Conference voted golf as a rec- ognized sport, a movement was started at Kansas by those players and others to have a golf team at the University which would be as active in competition against nearby schools as the tennis team and the swimming team. Dr. Allen was approached by the golfers and sub- sequently gave them his full support. I With an eye for participation in the Big Six tournament at Lincoln, May 18, the golfers scheduled several dual matches with teams from Missouri Uni- versity, Kansas State, Washburn, Ne- braska. Wichita, Central College (Mis- souri), and Creighton University. The team had a very successful season dur- ing which it defeated two of the Uni- versity ' s ancient -rivals in the dual meets. Missouri went down on the short end of a 6 4 to 5 4 score, and the Kansas State team, which had two days previous defeated Nebraska, was smothered by a score of 16 1 to 11,4. Scoring in all dual meets was based on a match play basis of one point for win ning the first nine holes, one point for the second nine, and one point for the total eighteen. In the match with Missouri, which was played over the remodeled Swope Park course in Kansas City, the Kansas team won one and lost one. The best that Kansas State was able to do was to tie one singles match, losing the other three singles contests and both doubles encounters. In a two day invitational meet with Wichita Uni- versity at Lawrence, the Jayhawkers took the first match 151 2 to 21,4. The match was played in a cold north wind with intermittent showers. But the next day brought even lower temperatures which lowered the Jayhawkers ' spirits as well as their opponents scores. A missed putt on the last green by a Kan- sas man turned victory into close de- feat, the final score being 9 to 8 in fa- vor of Wichita. A 73, one under par. shot by Grover Johnson was the feature of the day, being excellent golf under such adverse conditions. Central College of Fayette. Missouri, sent a four-man team to Lawrence to challenge the Kansas team. They were turned back, however, by a 914 to 21 i score, winning only one match of the four. FINLEY. REED. HEDGES, QUINLAN, JOHNSON The Kansas golfers played two matches with Creighton University of Omaha. The first one was played over the Meadow Lake course in Kansas City and was won by Creighton 8 4 to 3 1 - . Unfamiliarity with the course and the fact that it was their first start of the season were principal reasons for the team ' s defeat. A return match was played over the Happy Hollow Country Club in Omaha, when the Jayhawkers invaded ebraska. However, the score was not known at the time this issue went to press. Lincoln, Nebraska, the scene of the first annual Big Six golf meet found the Kansas team on hand with a deter- mination to come in close to the top. In a warm-up match on May 17. the day before the meet. Kansas met five Ne- braska golfers for the final Jayhawker dual meet of the season. This was a close battle, the teams being very evenly matched, although the Kansas players were somewhat handicapped by their lack of practice in playing sand trap shots. Oklahoma, favorite to win the Big Six team championship, was led by Captain Walter Emery, who was the National Intercollegiate golf champion in 1934. Members of the Kansas team were very evenly matched this year: their scores were never more than a few strokes apart, each member of the team being low man during at least one dual match. Finley. who won the Intramural golf tournament last year, was No. 1 man for Kansas during most of the play. He is a tremendously powerful hitter, averaging from 250 to 300 yards under favorable conditions. He won all but one of his matches in the dual meets. Finley is a first year law student and will probably be available to the team next year. Quinlan has a reputa- tion as a fine golfer in Oklahoma. In 1933 he was runner-up in the Tulsa Dis- trict championships. Reed is well known to Wichita golfers, having placed high in several golf tournaments there. John- son was the Kansas State Interscholastic champion in 1931 and the Kansas Jun- ior College champion in 1933. He was also runner-up in the Kansas City, Kan- sas championship last summer. Hedges, who was runner-up to Finley in last- (Continued on page 380) 358 THE .IAYHAWKER The 1935 Jayhawker BY FRED M. HARRIS, JR. THE last page of copy has gone to the printer, and I now have time to sit back and look over the year just finished. It has been my endeavor to give the students of the University of Kansas an entertaining annual. The old type of annual had become too similar from year to year, and so it was necessary to replace it with the magazine. Last year ' s magazine pioneered the new plan, and it has since been taken up by a number of the nation ' s leading colleges and universities. This year we have been able to profit by the few mistakes made by Editor Brown, and we have attempted to give you an annual which will be interesting to read when it is issued, and will also be a fitting and permanent record of this school year. In order for the magazine plan to prosper it will be necessary to vary the magazines from issue to issue and from year to year. This I have attempted to do. It is with a great deal of trust that I turn the Jayhawker over to John Chandler, who has been elected as my successor. John is a clever writer, and you can expect a fine publication next year. He is full of original ideas, and I believe is laying plans for a Jayhawker more elaborate than has been put on the Kansas campus in some time. John has been invaluable to me this year. Because of unforseen difficulties the past two issues have been put out by an editorial board composed of John Chand- ler, Stanley Marietta and Harry Lane, and I have been super- vising the work of this board. It is to these three men that I owe a great deal for the success of the magazine this year, for FRED M. HARRIS, Jr. Editor-in-Chief they took care of all of the routine work and also contributed a number of ideas and stories.

L. WILBERT BtLfiMfsx Manager AFTER being on trial for two years, the Jayhawker in its present magazine-annual form has proven itself a definite success. Its success has been proven, as a business manager would naturally see it, both in the increase of total BY PAUL L. WILBERT and foreign advertising and also in the increased subscription?. The subscriptions this year have been the largest the Jay- hawker has ever enjoyed. This tangible evidence would seem to prove that the Jayhawker is the most popular publication on the campus. Need we even mention the unlimited publicity the Jayhawker received through the kind efforts of the Asso- ciated Press which spread the Jayhawker ' s picture through- out all papers with Associated Press affiliations. A consideration of the basic organization of the business side will show that the success of the magazine depends a lot on the work that the sophomore assistants give to the business manager. ' The organization of the business staff is pyramided at the top is the business manager, next are the sophomore assist- ants of which there were six this year, and at the bottom of the pyramid are the numerous freshman assistants numbering about thirty-two this year. The freshmen staff is divided into an office staff and an advertising staff. Now that we have pyramided the business staff Jet ' s con- sider the freshman staff, not because it is the most important. quite the contrary, but because it is the largest. None of the members of the freshman staff did consistent work but their work was spotted. At some time or other every one of them did some type of work which aided the Jayhawker greatly and I wish here to express my gratitude for their gratuitous aid to the Jayhawker. The largest turnout of the freshman staff was (Continued en page 382 I THE JAYHAWKER STAFF THE JAYHAWKER Pach acamac SINCE its founding on October 26, 1912, the Society of Pachacaraac has become a potent force in bringing together the in- fluential men on the Hill for the purpose of fostering and preserving the traditions and ideals of the University of Kansas.

It was founded in 1910 by twelve upperclassmen, and since that time has become and remained the most distinctive class society at the University. Election to membership is one of the highest honors that any Jayhawker can receive. Membership in Sachem is given to scholastically outstanding men who have achieved the highest rank in their particula r 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. The members of Sachem are chosen each Spring from the junior class and again each Fall from the senior class. Lloyd Metzler is the Chief Sachem of this year ' s group. The following members were chosen during the past year: Arthur Voss, George Fry, Richard Wells, and Chevey White. GEORGE FRY CARL KINDSVATAER RICHARD WELLS CHEVEY WHITE ARTHUR VOSS F. QUENTIN BROWN GUNNAR MYKLAND GEORGE TROVILLO UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 363 Mortar Board MORTAR BOARD is a national honorary society for outstanding senior women. Its members are chosen in the spring of their junior year by the members, assisted by the faculty advisers. From six to twelve women may be chosen each year, the basis of selection to membership being scholarship, leadership, and unselfish service. The organization appeared first on the Kansas campus in 1912. as the Torch Society for senior women. In 1924 it be- came affiliated with the national organization of Mortar Board. Service to the University, the advancement of scholarship, co- operation with the faculty, and loyal support to every worthy activity constitute the fundamental purposes of the organization. This year its service program embodied three main principles: 1. What ' s What pamphlet, composed and edited by active members to be distributed to all freshmen and new women students next fall the pamphlet to contain rules on campus etiquette. 2. A scholarship tea to be given in April for special recognition of women of freshman and sophomore classes out- standing in scholarship. 3.

Besides the cadets and their feminine partners, there were in attendance cadet officers from nearby schools and regular re- serve officers. As the cadets entered upon the field of battle they found it necessary to pass in review accom- panied by their dates before the re- ceiving line which was headed by Dean and Mrs. Werner. The ball was presided over by the honorary colonel, Miss Mary Lou Bagby, and Louis Kuhn ' s or- chestra furnished tuneful rhythms for the skirmishers. The party or parties who were re- sponsible for the date chosen for the ball must be congratulated upon their marvelous foresight, for it was near the night of full moon. Many of the boys were partial to the girls from the old home town, and they did not have to observe any particular closing hours. Consequently, after the dance closed at the early hour of one, there was still opportunity for many to enjoy the soft lunar light along some country byway. Probably for the first time since the fall hop, the cadets appeared with their uniforms neatly pressed and their ornaments shining like rare jewels. A few unfortunates found it necessary to appear in tuxedos. As far as the ladies were concerned they found if the best opportunity of the year to parade in their new formal dresses. In all, the ball was outstanding for its charming ladies and smartly uniformed cadets. The ball almost convinced the offi- cers of the staff that all drills should be held in the ballroom. Never on the drill field has such precision and tim- ing been observed. The cadets marched in the familiar old 1-2-3-4 manner with the greatest of ease and performed their pacings with snap and grace sufficient to please even a regular army sergeant. No major campaign can be carried on without an adequate reserve. The stags, of which there were few, filled this capacity admirably. They did not bother for any orders to take their places on the field of battle, but sallied forth with high enthusiasm to the aid (or discomfiture) of the fair damsels regardless of whether or not any aid was needed. Regardless, their presence was an essential feature of the success- ful campaign. All too soon the note of retreat re- sounded through the ballroom and the cadets were forced to the realization that the last social function of the R.O.T.C. for the current year was over. For those who escorted the queens of Mt. Oread, a delightful evening was soon thereafter ended, but for others the evening had hardly begun. So even as this gay social function ended, this story must also close. Another such event will arrive when the year has rolled around. BY BOB BRADEN The R.O.T.C barbecue I HERE was a sound of revelry by I night. This famous line comes down to us through history. On the night of April 30th, another equally famous line, tried to control its hunger until the signal was sounded for the onslaught. Then a general offensive took place over a side sector laden with Sergeant Kollender ' s best epicurean ef- forts: barbecued meat, 225 pounds of it, 10 gallons of gravy, some six mil- lion beans, and over 100 pies. The regular R.O.T.C. Barbecue, held at the National Guard Armory on the night before the Annual Federal In- spection, was acclaimed one of the most successful of its kind. A rollicking pro- gram included boxing bouts, wrestling matches, Indian dances, and a battle royal. The K. U. cadets sat with the National Guardsmen and regulars on bleachers surrounding the field of ac- tion. Many civilian guests including offi- cials of the University and the city of Lawrence, regular army personnel, officers and men from Fort Leaven- worth, and National Guardsmen joined with the R.O.T.C. in sharing the de- lights of the barbecue. This was the third R.O.T.C. barbecue held since barbecues have attained a rank along with the other social events of the Kansas cadets. The Military Ball had better look to its laurels if it wishes to retain its time honored position of paramount importance. The barbecue with very little historical tradition, is already coming to the front in the fa- vor of the Hill cadets. Is it any wonder that a bounteous spread of delicious food and a program of light-hearted entertainment vies successfully with the dulcet notes of the orchestra at the Military Ball? Were the funds available, there would be no trouble in securing a unanimous vote to hold a barbecue every other week, judging from the way the cadets (Continued on page 381) STUNTS AT THE ANNUAL BARBECUE. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 365 BY BOB BRADEN Federal inspection THE zero hour had arrived. All units were to go into action. Imaginary enemies were conjured up from no- where and the battle was on. Federal inspectors were among the interested inspectors. The Annual R.O.T.C. Inspection is the directing point of a year ' s program of military training. This year. Col. R. H. McMasters, R.O.T.C. officer for the 7th Corps Area, conducted the inspec- tion on May 1-2 with the aid of Major SHOTS TAKEN DURING THE INSPECTION Pier L. Focardi and Major King. After the last cadet had snapped to Inspec- tion Arms. ' the inspecting officers gave both the engineer and the coast artillery units the final grade, excel- lent. Not only w ere the cadets examined on the drill ground, but in the class room as well: an activity not as prom- inent to the average spectator as the spectacle of a battalion review. In both fields however, the units attained marks of excellence. Imaginary bombers carrying terrify- ing bombs labeled Mount Oread were quickly brought under observa- tion and the three-inch anti-aircraft gun was traversed by the coast artillery cadets until it was in a position ready to open fire. At the command Commence Firing the air became alive with dummy shells directed at the very sur- prised bomber. Before the practice ceased bombers coming in from every direction had been dealt with to the satisfaction of the inspector. Through Marvin Grove, a shrill blast of a whistle was heard. The engineers went charging up the hill to the crest. O. K. said the inspector. The coast artillerymen laid out a defensive posi- tion by the Rock Chalk Cairn. Had the inspection been a week later, it would have been extremely difficult for the visiting bandmen to approach Mount Oread from any direction without their uniform being a provocation to launch an attack. The graduating seniors, who have been cadet officers for the past year. bring their work to a close with the annual inspection. The cadets in the ranks try to give their best performance on that day. If the cadet officers were skeptical, they were gratified, even a bit astounded ( or is that too mild I at the performances of their charges. In any event, the R.O.T.C. acquitted itself in noble fashion on those two inspection days. It is a tribute to Col. W. C. Koenig who leaves us this year, that both the engineering and coast artillery units have retained their work of excellence. Indeed, the inspectors noted that this year ' s performance had surpassed that of other years. Credit for the increasingly high standards maintained by the military (Continued on page 380) 366 THE JAYHAWKER BY RAY MORRIS Big shots NEAR the close of each year, the Department of Military Science and Tactics gives away an assortment of cups, medals, sweaters and other trophies to those members of the R.O.T.C. and Women ' s Rifle team who have excelled in military activities. One of the most prized of these awards is the Chancellor ' s Cup. It is given to the company in each battalion having the highest general excellence in military training as determined from its pro- ficiency in drill. This year the recip- ient of the cup was Company C, com- manded by Cadet Captain H. E. Mil- ler. On being interviewed concerning MEMBERS OF THE WOMEN ' S RIFLE TEAM RECEIVE THEIR AWARDS this honor, Captain Miller said, Aw shuckin ' s, fellers, my men done it all. Captain White refused to make a state- ment. The title Honor Graduate for the school year 1934-35 was given to Rob- ert C. Braden. of the Coast Artillery Corps, and Chevy S. White, of the en- gineer unit. Chevy, you will remember, is the man of the Hob-nail Hop, who presented a slide-rule to the engineer queen with that simple, forceful, and direct presentation speech, Well, Miss Gaut, we ' ve got a slide-rule here and we ' re givin ' it to you. The Lawrence Reserve Officer ' s Association, overlook- ing the fact that both of these lads are Summerfield scholars, awarded the boys a shiny, silver cup. The five members of the Men ' s Rifle team having the highest average score for the year were awarded sweaters and shields. These eagle-eye gentlemen were: R. L. Calhoun, C. S.

(Continued on page 383) The Kansas Union of the future BY LLOYD METZLER RIGINALLY little more than a J mere office building for. various school activities, the Kansas Memorial Union has steadily expanded in both size and function since its inception in 1925, until today it is the social center for the Karisas University student body. And yet its history cannot be recounted by merely tabulating the new functions taken over by the three managers Newman Jeffrey, Oz Rutledge, and Bill Cochrane for the Union is something more than a social center for the Uni- versity. The Kansas Memorial Union Build- ing as it stands today is only partially completed. Rather than delay its erec- tion until sufficient funds could be ob- tained for completion, the originators of the Memorial Union experiment de- cided to build as much as possible, leaving the gradual completion until a later date. The success of their idea is self-evident. The Union has been grad- ually expanded by a simultaneous growth of both its material facilities and its functions. The completion of the ballroom last year marked an important step in the program. It is believed that in the near future the sub-basement will be remodelled, thus marking another important phase in the building pro- gram. A bill recently approved by the Men ' s Student Council and the Women ' s Student Government Associa- tion has placed the financial respon- sibility for the regular varsity dances in the hands of the Union manager, thus further increasing his duties, and making greater cooperation possible be- tween the Student Councils and the Memorial Union. Still another activity will be carried on in the Union Building next year with the inauguration of open forums sponsored by the Men ' s Student Coun- cil. It is believed that these forums will stimulate student interest in the problem of student government, as well as in national and international problems. It is hoped that the Union Building in the not too distant future will stand as a completed structure. It should house office space for many student organizations, the office of the Alumni Secretary, guest rooms, and several stu- dent meeting rooms. The ultimate real- ization of the Union as the true center for all extra-curricular activities of our student body depends entirely upon the enthusiasm of our students ' for bigger and better conveniences. The Union Building, when completed, will have a north wing extending to the Pi Phi drive. The wing is to include guest rooms, a beautiful banquet hall, a larger and greatly improved book exchange, a barber shop, and possibly a swimming pool. It is planned to add a beauty parlor to the completed Union. Additional office space will be pro- vided. In the sub-basement there will be more storage space, and the fountain will be enlarged. The billiard room will be given more space and will be dec- (Continued on page 383) UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 367 To the advisory board Control of major policies as well as choice of staff lies in their hands ONE of the big factors in what success the Jayhawker has enjoy- ed this year is the Jayhawker Advisory Board. This board, composed of five faculty members and four students, has contributed bits of advice all year that have pulled the staff out of numerous holes. The board is made up of Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman, Prof. J. H. Nelson, Dean Henry Werner, Dean Agnes Hus- band, Kar! Klooz, Dwight Bridges, Bar- bara Pendleton, F. Quentin Brown and George A. Fry. Its duties are to act in an advisory capacity to the Jayhawker staff, to select the editors and business man- agers, and to let the printing and en- graving contracts. Because of the varied interests represented on the board it car- ries out its duties with a maximum of ability. Let us take a closer observation of the members and their abilities. Prof. Flint is head of the journalism depart- ment, and has had unlimited experience with publications. He knows all the branches of the publishing business and has always been a big help in solving our problems. Dean Nelson, former head of the English department, knows good writ- ing when he sees it, and is one of our most interested critics. He is invaluable in choosing our literary staff because of his numerous connections with the best of the campus authors. Dean Werner and Dean Husband are in constant contact with the students of the University and often hear student criticism of the Jayhawker which never reaches the Jayhawker office. The representatives from the two stu- dent councils, Dwight Bridges and Bar- bara Pendleton, know the faults of the Jayhawker from the students ' view-point. They are not backward in voicing these criticisms, and through them, students may make any comments that they don ' t care to put before the staff itself. George Fry and Quentin Brown, the officials of last year ' s Jayhawker have been no end of service to the staff this year. It was these two men that pioneered the magazine-annual, their publication being the first of its type to appear on an American college campus. Their problems last year have been ours this year, and with their help they have been quite satisfactorily solved. Karl Klooz possesses one of the finest business minds in Kansas, and when we are tied up with some business problem, it is the University ' s competent bursar that comes to our aid. Mr. Klooz has a knack of detecting flaws in contracts, and he is quite an asset when the board is considering contracts. In addition to the above voting mem- bers of the board, Ray Nichols acts as secretary to the group, and because of his past experience as editor of the Jayhawker, he has given us some valu- able assistance. Jack Kistler, assistant professor of journalism and director of the journalism press, acts as technical adviser to the staff. Jack knows print- ing and engraving and often has helped us in our technical problems. John Berkebile and John Rugh, pub- ishers of the 1933 Jayhawker. sit in on the board meetings and their advice is often quite valuable. And so you see, that with such a cap- able group of people assisting us in giving you an interesting yearbook, and any faults in the Jayhawker only appear because the staff members fail to come to the board for assistance. 368 THE JAYHAWKEK HILL PERSONALITIES ART VOSS GEORGE GUERNSEY DANA DURAND MARY LOU BECKER CHEVY WHITE MILDRED INGHAM WINIFRED KOENIG ELWYN DEES BETTY THOLEN SOL LINDENBAUM LYMAN FIELD WALTER LAPHAM UNIVERSITY OF XAXSAri 369 Th e socia I wheel BY THE SPOKESMAN A brilliantspring social season brings the wheel to a stop for a three month ' s rest WITH the end of the y ear looming ever closer, the social wheel has been turning at a constantly acceler- RED BLACKBURN ating rate as the organizations vie to outdo each other socially. In the few- short weeks between the end of the Piaster holidays and the beginning of finals nearly thirty organized houses have entertained friends and attempted to impress rushees with their spring formals. Smaller and more select groups have been using the interims between rains and dust storms to good advantage to enjoy themselves in a more informal way on steak fries and those much talked about moonlight canoe excursions up the Kaw. The Senior Cake Walk. April 4. opened the spring formal season with Bobby Meeker and his orchestra fur- nishing the music. As usual the Cake Walk was the most spectacular of the class parties from the viewpoint of dress, and the consensus of opinion was that Meeker ' s band was the best the Hill has heard this year. Certain it is th at the Meeker rendition of Tiger Rag will not be forgotten for son time, and his version of St. Louis Blues was equally outstanding. During the floor show the Spokesman was enjoying him- self in a remote corner of the room but the frequent and audible applause indicated that the entertainers were holding the interest of the crowd. To Chi Omega goes the honor of leading off with the first spring formal of the year. Those who were present swear to the fact that every un- attached male on the campus showed up at sometime or other during the evening to dance with the horseshoe lassies.

The following year it was admitted to membership in the American Associa- tion of Collegiate Schools of Business and has continued to expand and be- come better known. The intensity of the work in the School of Business is well shown by the numerous branches of activity which have been developed during its exist- ence. Smokers have become a tradi- tional means of bringing the School of Business into a closer organization. Three smokers have been held this year with the intention of bringing the rather concrete instruction obtained within the class room into a light of personal rela- tion and application. Well known busi- ness men and men outstanding in some field related to the study of business are chosen to express their particular views on current subjects at these smokers; after which the students are invited to ask questions and engage ' in general discussion. The Business Placement Bureau was established to put graduates, in touch with any suitable available positions. This bureau has contact with many busi- ness concerns; and under the direction of the bureau, the graduates are inter- viewed by representatives of these con- DEAN FRANK T. STOCKTON cerns with the intention of filling va- cancies and bringing young men into their organizations. The Bureau of Business Research has been established to conduct research and make studies regarding business policies and prac- tices and place such information at the disposal of the students. In addition to these faculty sponsored activities, there are numerous activities controlled and governed by the students themselves. The J-Hawk Business News, this year under the editorship of Walter Lapham, is published to acquaint the students with information of interest relating to the School of Business. Busi- ness School day, held on May 8 this year, is the play day of the Business School. Classes are dismissed and stu- dents, professors, and everyone enjoys a ball game, general get together and ban- quet in the evening. Each year four members of the school are elected from the student body to exercise control of these activi- ties and plan their organization. In the fall election, John Morrison was elected president; Robert Cory, vice-president; Jack Lix, treasurer, and Arthur McKit- trick, secretary. A special election was held this spring. Ray Reed, secretary, and Glen Antrim, treasurer to those positions which had been left vacant by mid-year graduations. Within the school are also organizations of fra- ternal nature. A chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, national honor society open to both men and women, was established in 1926; and two professional fraterni- ties, Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi, as well as one professional com- merce sorority, Phi Chi Theta, have been installed and now have well or- ganized chapters. The faculty, under the leadership of Dean Frank T. Stockton, has had the addition of several new men this year because of the absence of Leslie Tupy, Joseph Taggart, D. J. Teviotdale and John Blocker, who are on leave of ab- sence from the staff. Within the faculty are numerous personalities as recog- nized authorities. John Ise, professor of economics, has written several books re- lating to the field of economics and business in general. Jens P.

PBOF. ALLEN CRAFTON pXROFESSOR Allen Crafton, head of I the department of speech and dra- matic art at the University of Kansas, was born at Quincy, Illinois, October 3, 1890. He attended grade school at New Ber- lin. Illinois and completed his high school work at Springfield. Illinois. He received his B. S. from Knox Col- lege at Galesburg. Illinois in 1912. and subsequently he enrolled in the Gradu- ate School at Harvard receiving his M. A. in dramatic art in 1914. Mr. Crafton was instrumental in establishing the first of the Little Thea- tres, which brought him considerable fame in dramatic circles. On March 25, 1917, he enlisted in the Illinois National Guard at Spring- field, and shortly after his marriage to Miss Jessica Rover, he went into mili- tary service overseas. He served as First Lieutenant in the infantry, but was transferred into the air service in which division he was serving at the time of the Armistice. After returning to America. Mr. Craf- ton wrote a great deal of poetry and had much of it published in popular magazines as well as some of it appear- ing in Braithwaite ' s Anthology of American Verse. A book, The Stranger ' s Star. a fantasy for children was also published at this time. In 1919-20 Mr. Crafton was instruc- tor in Wabash College at Crawfords- ville. Indiana. He spent the next three years as assistant professor of rhetoric and composition in Charleton College. Northfield. Minnesota. In 1923 he came to the University of Kansas as head of the department of speech and dramatic art. During the year 1927-28 he was on leave of absence from the University in making a trip to Europe. In addition to school work. Mr. Crafton. in conjunction with his wife has published three books. The Process of Play Production. Acting. and Self-Expression Through the Spoken Word. He has also written a number of plays among which the most famous are. Happy Landing. Scarlet Dove. and The Yankee Crusader. PROF. DIXSMORE ALTER PROFESSOR Dinsmore Alter, now a resident of Lawrence, and professor of astronomy in the University of Kan- sas, was born March 28. 1888. in Col- fax. Washington. The elementary education of Profes- sor Alter consisted of school work in Washington, and was followed by col- lege work in Westminster, from which place he was granted his A. B. degree in 1909. A year later he obtained an A. M. degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and in 1916 was granted a Ph. D. from the University of Cali- fornia. Beside th e required work in these institutions. Professor Alter has done special study in the Lniversity of Chicago and in the California School of Technology. Professor Alter has published some two dozen papers on the subjects of orbit theory, meteorology, and a study of the design of instruments for use in the study of astronomy. Since 1916. he has been listed in American Men of Science. a publication which serves scientists much the same as Who ' s W ho in America serves the general public. Selected by the University in 1917. he was granted a leave of absence which continued until termination of the war. when he assumed his official capacity of teaching astronomy at Kansas. Since his arrival, interest in the study of astronomy has greatly increased and the study of the subject has been carried on in an increasingly efficient manner, and under conditions which have made possible a much better treatment of the subject. Professor Alter has. at present, very little time to devote to his hobbies. and they have become neglected in re- cent years. Chess and chickens were formerly his pet interests. PROF. JOHN ISE PROF.

Listen my sweet, I ' ve much to say Of what I learned while far away. I found that kisses From willing misses Are given in the moonlight, To be taken in the moonlight, Heedless of the morrow. Bend near my sweet, I know that love Is not a project of angels above, But, in a fashion, is Born from passion When a maiden in the moonlight Meets her lover in the moonlight, Often to her sorrow. So my sweet, it comes to this; Be not afraid to yield a kiss, But ever be wary And ever so chary Of giving in the moonlight To Another in the moonlight What Virtue may not borrow. The ken of man is shorter far Than his ego lets him say; To Time his cup he raises, Puts it to his lip and drinks, Yet I know with shaking soul, It is later than he thinks! Fear Fear stands at my shoulder-; He breathes hot moist air on my neck. You are away and the house is silent Through the day for the days are short. I sit and look at the wall, at the num- bers Shifting on the calendar under my gaze Little black designs moving on white The wind flutters the pages, only the wind With changing thoughts I am flaccid and hard. The nights are long and the days but a light Flashed on and off in the dark. When sheets settle down with searing coolness Fear curls near by for he loves the night He loves the humming of summer dark- ness The wind from deserted wheat fields Fans his ardour. HELEN DAVIDSON. I play my hand, with easy grace, And with finesse untold; But triumph to defeat gave place, The blasted deck was cold. Unafraid, she pretended fear, Calm, yet fluttered sweetly, Softened me with a lying tear, And routed me completely. Brains were made for cheating man, You have to be rough with women. In the long-dead past Omar sang his deathless song To rolling, drifting desert sands Heedless of his singing. I read his music On soft white vellum, And with hungry heart and mighty longing Tried to fill my soul. Vainly tried, And in deep despair Cast me into the languorous arms Of the daughter of the vine. To the cup my lips Reached, and at its brim Lo, read softly from the purple depths The happy song. The dust-filled mouth By the living vine From Omar ' s day and into mine Carried a poem. No more, in black frustration, Bewail I my being; In the flowing cup of eternal years There is communion. I feel an urge, a mighty yen To expose my sorrow To hereby sail for what might have been Today, or e ' en yet tomorrow. Great branching trees of the thickly sown earth Rise above me who has struggled to birth From dust splashed by water, stirred into slime Restless and spineless, a misery, my climb. HELEN DAVIDSON. ..

The point is that the girl calmly insists that she has no time for romance, nor any place for it in her philosophy! Guernsey has a new one, and this time it makes the Tally-ho! seem downright pleasant. Said Guernsey, when cut by a more deserving man at a dance will proceed to bid the girl the longest, most nerve-wracking and other- wise un-nice farewell ever known to man. He tells her goodbye, hello again, how ' s she feeling, does she like the lug she ' s dancing with, can she wait until George gets a chance to cut back, and so on ad infinitum. ad nauseam, and ad any- thing you want to. It ' s all the same to George. Hans Pfuetze uses his religion class as an excuse to test the powers of that same religion to withhold the jus- tifiable wrath of Rabbi Mayerberg. As regularly as a clock Hans comes in late, very late with a seraphic expression on his countenance. As a matter of fact, the expression is so seraphic that the onlooker is immediately suspicious. Af- ter class the usual apologies are met by the usual disavowals, but we proph- ecy freely that one day that Mephisto- phelian gleam in the Rabbi ' s eyes will be turned into action. 376 THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes LVST issue, we asked for opinions and votes for the better dressed men on the campus. While the office was not exactly swamped with these replies, suf- ficient have been received to give an idea of the consensus of opinion. Bill McElfresh of Sigma Chi holds the honors for his lodge, and right well, among a group who all do a nice job of dressing neatly and nicely. McCormick Crouch of the Betas always appears cor- rectly attired. Out at the Sigma Nu house, George Taylor has a way with his clothes that is hard to beat. And incidentally the way he gets away with a turned up brim on his hat, should have a devastating effect on the ladies. Bob Williams from the A. T. 0. house rightfully belongs among the list of better dressers also. Colored and patterned shirtings in deeper shades have been noted on the increase now. The distinguishing char- acteristics of these shirts lie- in the fact that the colors used are so much deeper than the usual pastel effects associated with shirts other than white. There is no doubt that the influx of deeper tones has been brought about BY EDDIE RICE by the ever-popularity of plain white shirts. In the light of these colored shirts we predict in the near future, the establishment of Bangkok, a new shade of brown, which will not only replace white shirts for summer wear, but also white clothes of all types. In any event, present trends in neck- wear, shirts, hosiery, and pocket hand- kerchiefs, for instance, show boldness in color and pattern while maintaining the personal note which a man likes. Rougher fabrics such as tweed require the use of color to bring out their ef- fectiveness. Speaking of color, what do you think of the new sport suit with shirred back that Bruce Baker is sporting? A dark grey blue in color and when worn with contrasting window pane slacks of grey with a bronze check, it is certainly mighty nice looking. Bill Smiley, of Kappa Sigma, is one of the few boys on the campus wearing browns this spring. Again it is a gabar- dine with shirred back. Bob Corey, of Sigma Nu, is sporting a distinctively cut grey sport number with a yoke back and four patch pockets on the coat. While Joe Holloway seems, to be the prime exponent of bow ties upon our campus, Esquire, for spring, sug- gests the new tapered pointed- end bat tie in madder print silk foulards that are extremely smart. - T o continue with our discus- sion of the Hill ' s best dressed men, Wil- lard Winters carries off the honors at the Sig Alph house. Homer Holt of Delta Upsilon not only has a nice ward- robe, but also wears his clothes in pleasing combination. Down on Indiana street at the Phi Psi house, Dana Du- rand, newly elected senior class presi- dent, is always neatly and correctly at- tired. Frank Leydig of Pi K. A., Paul Smart of the Delts, and Bill Townsley of Phi Delt easily rank in the upper bracket. At the Phi Gam house there are Jack Park and George Guernsey, possi- bly sl ' ghtly in the lead of several good dressers. Probably one of the smartest outfits seen at a recent varsity was worn by Eddie Olson of Delta Tau. By use of a (Continued on page 381) KANSAS CITY, MO. Vacation Ahead!

And so it is with Kansas University ' s coeds. Spring parties have brought out stand alone taffetas, fluttery chiffons and pretty, pretty nets that leave the lasses with- out a friend (female we mean I. Then there have been flattering laces which accentuate grace. And always the well dressed girl wears an outfit which suits her type whether it be sweetly demure or slinky sophisticate she has what it takes to make her the prominent prom- enader. The spring fashions have shown their faces on Mt. Oread with a rush. The grand thing about the fashions this spring is their flexibility. The day- time mode is made to order. Suits dresses ensembles anything goes, providing the lines and colors are the unbelievably fresh ones of this season. Most of the fair ladies begin their spring wardrobes with a suit. Jo Hel- lings. stunning Pi Phi, has been seen wearing a fine, strict tailleur in white linen. The blouse is of brilliant green, and there are two large brown buttons on the three-quarter length coat. One of the smartest suits we have seen this spring was worn by a coed no longer in our midst, but who will be remembered by those students who were present on the Hill last year Virginia Gosnell. one of last years Kappa beauty queens. The suit had a grey wool three-quarter length coat with a grey wool dress. Large buttons down the front of the dress to the hem gave a dashing air which any member of the fairer sex would envy. Marie Forbes. Theta neo- phyte, has a grey suit which is out on the mannish style, so popular this spring. The skirt is of grey flannel, and the hip length coat is made of black to white flannel, with a bi-swing back. Winnie Koenig. Pi Phi. meets warm weather half-way with a simple, long sleeved black crepe suit. The blouse of yellow, has a finely pleated pique col- lar which makes a light contrast at the throat. Black linen still holds its place among the more favored fabrics. Judy Jencks, popular Kappa, has a black linen dress which she wears with a flowered coat. And the gray suit which Martha Yankey has been wearing to class is very chic. She wears with it a turquoise blouse: the skirt is plaid. While speaking of suits we cannot fail to mention the white one Iris Olion. al- tractive A. D. Pi, wears with white hat and shoes. Polly Strandburg. Theta. has a dark blue one with a small crim- son bow on the neck of the navy blouse. Suits are the rage. yes. But you don ' t have to have a suit, at all. You can join the chorus of the spring fashion song with the harmony of a long coat and dress. There is something essen- tially comforting about this type of costume, because one can depend upon it almost as well on the perennial tweed. Betty Gail Simms. petite prexy of Gam- ma Phi Beta has a flowered linen dress which she wears with a navy blue coat. Ann Horton. Pi Phi. has a beige coat which she wears over a printed crepe dress with the background of dark brown and the figure matching the coat. There is the coat, worn by Betty Smith. K. K.

It is with deep regret that the student body marks the departure of Miss Husband, both as Dean of Women and as active head of the voice department and the school of fine arts. Miss Husband has been acting dean of women at the University since 1923 and head of the voice department since 1934. Before coming to the University as teacher of voice in 1921, Dean Hus- band taught at Stetson College, College of Empori a, and Stephens College. She received her A.B. degree at K. U. in 1911, and an A.M. degree in 1928 from Columbia University. Miss Husband has not merely per- formed the duties of Dean of Women, but she has taken an active interest in the students of the University and their affairs. Of course her main concern lies with the women of the University, ' but her vital interest has always been the entire student body of the University. In her period as Dean of Women many changes have been made to the great benefit of everyone. During this period we have seen the withdrawal of women from men ' s politics and the in- troduction of a great many democratic ideas among the sororities. The two women ' s dormitories, Watkins and Cor- bin, have been opened, which goes a long way toward making this University a more desirable place from the point of view of the women students. In an attempt to thoroughly under- stand the problems of the students, Miss Husband has been having teas at her home for certain groups of girls around the campus. These teas have been held every two weeks for the last five or six years with the members of Mortar Board assisting her as hostesses. By having these twenty-five or thirty girls, Miss Husband has been able to obtain a cross section of the campus and thus is able to understand more intelligently the problems of the women of the University. To those who really know her, she is a woman of dynamic personality a woman with the ability to get the neces- sary work done without seeming in any way to dictate policies or work to the women of the campus. Undoubtedly she is the backbone of many of the women ' s organizations on the Hill and has al- ways been of invaluable aid in helping these groups, and indeed all women, in times of a dilemma. She has always given of herself unselfishly and has ever been ready to aid the students in any way that she might be able to do so. In losing Miss Husband, the women of this campus lose more than a Dean of Women and they realize it. They lose a sympathetic and just adviser in short a true and valuable friend. And so it is with a great deal of regret that we say goodbye to Miss Husband in her official capacity, but it is with the greatest of pleasure and happiness that we wish her Godspeed.

Book Exchange Extends its appreciation of the Student Patronage this past year Glenn Cunningham honor man WINNING hands down, a trait so characteristic of that greatest of all middle-distance runners. Glenn Cun- ningham added another title to his never-ending list of distinctions in being named the Honor Man of 1934. Chancellor Lindley, in presenting the award at the Honors Convocation, April 12. stated that the committee voted unanimously to give the honor to Cun- ningham, who. in their estimation, ex- emplified best the qualifications of the award which are: character, scholar- ship, breadth of interests, unselfish service, and leadership. Probably never in the history of the school has a Kansas student gained such national and international fame while still at the University. The committee reported further that Glenn has retained his character af- ter being subjected to the most seduc- tive forms of hero worship. Perhaps his achievements are best explained in the light of his own words, to like a race for the race itself. ' Glenn came to the University from ElkharL Kansas, after a brilliant career as a high school miler. He continued his work on the track, stopping at noth- ing until he had taken-in the best milers in the field. While at the University he was elected student representative on the Athletic Board, and was a member of Sachem, senior men ' s honor society. He is a graduate of the School of Educa- tion. It has been pointed out that he was almost entirely self-supporting while in school. ' Since graduation Kansas barrel- chested miler. and his wife, the former Margaret Spier. 34. have been at Iowa City, where Glenn is enrolled in the graduate school of Iowa Uni- versity. Glenn has left the University of Kan- sas, but his memory will linger on Mount Oread for many years to come. When he walked down the campus as a student he spoke to everyone that looked at him. There was nothing of the self satisfaction that one often finds in college boys whose accomplishments are not comparable with his. He was a friend of everyone, and everyone was his friend. Athletes all over the world have said BY MAX MOXLEY The world ' s greatest miler is awarded the highest distinction offered to a graduate of K. U. GLENN CUNNINGHAM that Glenn Cunningham was one man in a million. His arch rival. Bill Bon- thron of Princeton, has told a number of Kansans that Glenn Cunningham is one of the finest men he has ever known. This is a true compliment for the Honor Man of 34. ' During his athletic competition here. Glenn carried the Kansas colors to victory in nearly every race, both in this country and abroad. He has carried off honors in the mile, three-quarters mile, half-mile, two-mile, one thousand yards, fifteen hundred meter, one thousand meter, and eight hundred meter races. In 1934. he set world records in both the indoor and outdoor miles over his great rivals Gene enzke and Bill Bon- thron. Still retaining his amateur standing, though his collegiate competition is ended. Glenn is training for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, where he hopes to set a new world ' s record in the 1500 meters. Nothing has been able to turn him aside from this purpose. By se- lecting Glenn as Honor Man for 1934, the University has payed a well de- served and fitting tribute to one of the greatest athletes, cleanest sportsman, and finest personalities that the Uni- versitv of Kansas has ever known. THE JAYHAWKER Kansas golfers have a successful season (Continued from page 357) year ' s intramural tournament, is known among the younger golfers of Kansas City, Missouri. Quinlan, Reed, Johnson, and Hedges will all be lost to the team next year by graduation. Finley, however, will re- turn to lead the team to another suc- cessful season. There are several good prospects among freshmen and other golfers who are now ineligible for the golf team. Dale Maxwell, Bill Shaw, Glen Ashley, and Maurice Kerley are all capable golfers who can next year make another strong team among the Big Six schools. Federal inspection (Continued from page 365) department here should be shared by the regular army staff and the students in the unit. The efforts of the instruc- tors to put their work across are re- ceived by cooperative and interested students, all of which makes for high morale among the cadets. The cadet officers, feeling their responsibility, have put forth unusual effort to de- velop well drilled and disciplined bat- talions. The result of all this work and planning is an R.O.T.C. unit of which the University and the army may both be proud.

Stan Marietta is the boss salesman of the editorial staff however. I also want to mention a few of the authors who have stuck by the Jay- hawker this year and have come through with stories, no matter how dif- ficult their assignments might have been. Alfred C. Ames and Vernon French, are two that I particularly want to thank for their cooperation. These two boys have taken on stories, a num- ber of which required a great amount of research and background before they could be written. Though they received no remuneration for their work, they were always on hand and ready to tackle another job. Bob Lamar seemed to be the only humorist to volunteer his services to the Jayhawker this year. Bob is quite resourceful however, and varied his types of stories during the year, so that I believe his work has been quite entertaining throughout. Art is an essential thing in any suc- cessful magazine. Jim Donahue, who served as our art editor this year, has handled this end of the publication very- well, I believe. Jim has done two full page cartoons each issue and has illus- trated a number of stories during the year. Arvid Jacobson has also done some cartooning and has been responsi- ble for the Board of Regents drawings in a number of the issues. Our fashion columns have been writ- ten by Eddie Rice and Anne Hub- bard, both of whom are authorities on what should be worn by the better dressed students. Ray Isham has given us his talents to use in competition with those two famous columnists. Owlie Blowers and On the Shin Holloway. Ray ' s Campus Polylogia Says has been cleverly written, and he has spilled his share of the dirt this year. Charles Zeskey continued to act as the Spokes- man and operate the ever turning Social Wheel. He has covered the year ' s so- cial events quite accurately, I believe. Rhadamanthi has provided us with the poetry for our poetry page. And so now, it is with a most sincere feeling of regret that I turn over the reigns of the Jayhawker to Editor Chandler, and I only hope that he gets as much pleasure in editing the publi- cation as I have during the past year. Thanks! (Continued from page 376) very dark blue shirt and light tie, he made a grey sport suit appear exceed- ingly smart. Keith Swinehart wears blue shirred back double-breasted coat with contrasting grey window pane slacks in a nice combination. At the Theta party, while there were definitely a varied number of ideas as to what constituted spring formal dress, the white double-breasted coat and black trousers were definitely in the lead. Incidentally, a bit of admonish- ment to our editor. Freddie Harris. Those knit ties are hardly just for form- al wear, or are they? As Freddie wears them, though, perhaps they are. Perhaps the most interesting develop- ment in spring clothes is the over- whelming predominance of grey. While this is not entirely out of line with trends at other universities, the exceed- ingly high percentage is perhaps larger than the average. In any event, you with the browns and the blues are assured of the honor of being different, and at the same time quite correctly so. The fashion of pinching the popular dark brown felt hat at the front origin- ated at the great universities, but was so smart that it soon spread to well - dressed men every- where. It may be worn in the orthodox manner or telescoped to achieve ihs new porkpie effect. Not only is this hat good in very dark brown, but a very soft grey-green color- ing is appearing on the fashion horizon. This grey-green shade is neutral enough to fit into any ensemble, irrespective of the color tones included in it. For those of us who do not particularly care for straw hats in the summer, these light weight felt hats will certainly be wel- come. Another exponent of brown is Gene Lloyd, of Delta Upsilon. who wears a single breasted number with yoke back and an inverted box pleat, in a real dark brown which is mighty nice. Now, as the school year ends, we are looking forward to what next fall will bring. Definitely, we can say that her- ringbone stripes will be popular. Con- trary to any rumor, the sport back is NOT on the way out. Its comfort has endeared it to the male populace to the extent that it will not easily lose favor. As for colors, blue and brown should be the leaders, with grey holding its time honored position, as the all around color. 352 THE JAYHAWKEK The 1935 Jay hawker By Paul L. Wilbert (Continued from page 359) when the staff picture was taken. I didn ' t realize until that day that we had so much feminine pulchritude and male business ability on the freshman staff. But seriously, they have done some fine work and they are to be com- plimented. Now we come to that part of the pyramid where the hard work is done and that is in the staff of sophomore assistants. The assistants this year were: Bob Kenyon, Dan Elam, Bob Corey, Frank Headley, Merrill Alloway, and Ed Ash. These first names may not be their formal names but they are the only names that I know them by. The first assistant I want to consider and one that I really have a lot of ad- miration for, is Merrill Alloway. Mer- rill was a junior this year and conse- quently was not qualified ' to compete for the business-managership of the Jayhawker for this coming school year. Yet, knowing this, Merrill was one of my most reliable assistants. Whenever there was an ad to be gotten, a bill to be collected, or copy to be collected, you could depend on Merrill either to come back with the goods or have a plausible reason for not having finished the job. I have never seen a better bill collector. I don ' t know the secret of his success but he has collected money from accounts that looked mighty hopeless. My hat is off to Merrill, first ' last, and always and the Jayhawker will lose a good man from its staff. And if any- thing I say is to be taken seriously in this article I want these past words to be taken as a sincere opinion. Bob Kenyon impressed me both with his business ability and his ability to vision things that should be done. These accomplishments are going to serve Bob in good stead when he tries to make the revenues exceed the ex- penses as business manager of next year ' s Jayhawker. Bob is steady in his decisions and once he makes a decision you can bet that every possible factor was considered before he made that de- cision. The last thing to say about Bob is that his sales received in advertising was outstanding and herein lies his financial success for next year. To say that Bob Corey is one of the smoothest talkers I have ever met would be putting it mildly. Bob talked more people into buying Jayhawkers this year lhan anyone on the staff. Bob told me that one of his greatest disadvantages with the local advertisers was that he sold them so much advertising for high school publications that he couldn ' t think of any new approaches to them. Bob has plenty of business ability as well as a gracious personality and I am sure that he will develop a sincerity and earnestness for whatever he undertakes. A scholar, a straight shooter and a fine fellow that is Dan Elam. All I can say is that I appreciate the privilege that I have had in working with Dan. He is the sort of fellow that I wish more of the leaders in our business world were like. Dan is one fellow that would never pull an underhanded trick or do one thing which to his knowledge was shady or dishonest. I admire Dan ' s character and if there is one fellow that deserves success in life, it is Dan Elam. A practical business fellow, a hard worker, and a fellow with lots of adver- tising experience are traits that Frank Headley possesses. Frank has the abil- ity to convince people that he is right. He has an argumentative tone of voice that makes an advertiser feel that here is one fellow who won ' t leave until he gets an ad. As soon as Frank is able to apply himself in all phases of college work he is going to make a name for himself as a business executive on the Hill. Ed Ash did some fine work for me at the beginning of the year and it was through some of his suggestions that we were able to greatly increase our subscriptions this year. Ed was a good salesman and evidence of his business ability was demonstrated when he was elected treasurer of his fraternity. I sincerely appreciate the willing aid that Ed has given me this year and can truthfully say that if other things hadn ' t taken up his time he would have given the other assistants plenty of competi- tion. ' In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation to the Jayhawker ad- visory board who have given much of their time in helping me solve some of my problems. Their valuable sugges- tions have aided me in having what lit- tle success the Jayhawker has enjoyed this year. Also Charles McCreight has been an excellent counselor to me in technical matt ers that arise during the year. And last but not least I want to express my appreciation of that great intangible something, namely, student opinion and cooperation, which has made my year as business manager of the 1935 Kansas University Jayhawker a thoroughly enjoyable one.
