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.
