OCTOBER VOLUME LXIX OCTOBER, 1936 NUMBER 1 Published periodically by the student body of the University of Kansas under the supervision of the Jayhawker Advisory Board. A record of events and personalities, and a reinew of campus trends and opinions. JAMES H. COLEMAN Editor -in-Chief JACK TOVVNSEND B np M n THE time has come for us to hang up our coat and hat ana try to add our meager bit to this, the first issue of the 1937 JAY- HAWKER. Much as we regret it. we have here a page to be filled, but we are only grateful for the opportunity to say what we want to say about the subjects we choose to discuss. First we beg to call your atten- tion to the general appearance of the new JAYHAWKER. It is quite possible, of course, that there are those who disagree with our tastes in layout and makeup, and if there are such persons among our readers ve will be only too happy to receive their criticisms and sugges- tions as to how we can improve the magazine s appearance in any way. As a matter of fact, we would be only too happy to receive com- munications from those who dis- agree with us, and, of course, hap- pier to receive word from any who agree with us, and promise to print any and all letters we receive either in criticism of commendation of the JAYHAWKER, providing such letters are not intended for the Dove and sent to us by mistake. For instance, here is one letter we have received already, and we are so elated over the fact that we would like to share its contents with our readers: Editor-in-chief JAYHAWKER: W r eII here we are with another year. I want to speak up concern- ing the old question of beauty queens. Why not let the girls have a thrill, what difference does it make whether there are two or twenty-two or more? With so many pretty girls w T ho can say who is the prettiest one or two? Vhat is one man ' s meat is another man ' s poison, vhat I think is beauty someone else may not. I think blondes with delicate features and blue eyes, graceful and slim, are my idea of beauty. I would walk a mile to see Ann Harding, Joan Bennett, etc. My roommate likes his girls dark, the darker the better, and slim, pre- ferably small like Arline Judge, Claudette Colbert. (Ed. note: If we had women like those mentioned here at the University the beauty queen contests would present no problems.) Have as many as you have had but have more than one. judge. I think the idea of your junior judg- ing fine, judge them personally on the final decision. A pretty girl may not photograph as well as one not so pretty. (Ed. note: How true!) But for Pete ' s sake, give us slender girls, take the photographs three-fourths or full length. The buxom amazons some of the ones you have shown are that and they are getting me down. Let us have our bevy of queens, one to suit each one ' s ideal and even-one will be pleased. Who can say who is prettiest? The choice in judging is just a break as it is, the only thing in its favor is that it gives a number of girls a chance and we can take our own pick. Very truly yours, An admirer of good lookers. There you have the whole prob- lem in a Big Bertha shell, except that we can ' t bring ourselves to agree with our lone fan on a few of his points. In our opinion quality is preferable to quantity-, and it is our intention this year to sacrifice the latter for the sake of the former. Thus when you see the second issue of the JAYHAWKER appear December 12 without the usual fifteen freshmen beauties, do not become possessed of the fear that we have forgotten our beauty contests, for we are going to aban- don the four class contests through- out the year in favor of one grand splurge of real beauty in the final issue. We do think, however, that the practice of judging the contestants in person, as followed on a few occasions in the past and endorsed by Mr. Admirer Of Good Lookers, is an excellent one, and if it is at all possible we will use that method.
